Peachland’s shoreline plan is now complete and work is set to continue in the fall to address significant damage that occurred to the foreshore adjacent to 8th and 13th Streets resulting from a significant flood event on June 8, 2017.

“On June 8, 2017 Okanagan Lake was above full pool and Peachland sustained damages from a southernly storm,” director of community services Cheryl Wiebe told The View. “We lost a significant amount of shoreline.

You can imagine the waves like fingers that just came up and pulled the shoreline away. We had

docks topple. Retaining walls became exposed. We had some trees down and a lot of our trees, their root systems were overflooded, and that’s why we have so many dead trees on our waterfront now.”

At the July 9 committee of the whole meeting, Wiebe told district council that she had just recently received the final permit

“We will have shovels in the ground in October on the two sites on Centennial Way where we failed,” Wiebe said.

• Spring 2020: completion of priority 1 areas (subject to fisheries, environmental and archeological permitting).

“My major comment was on the distance between the beach access points of 170 metres. That’s a pretty long way,” Councillor Terry Condon said.

Wiebe responded by saying most of the access points are significantly closer to each other and attributed the furthest access point of 170 metres to a very steep section near the boat launch where creating an access point doesn’t make sense.

Back in November Peachland council offered their support for some principles that would allow district staff to move forward with concept designs for shoreline restoration between 8th and 13th Streets.

Those principles included: • Maximizing usable beach while protecting critical infrastructure; • Using a combination of natural materials like riprap, logs and plantings to ensure infrastructure and scour protection; and • That pedestrian access points to the beach are at a maximum of 170 metres apart and are located at every crosswalk.

Last year council also supported a phased approach for shoreline restoration focusing on high risk areas as annual funding permits and directed staff to apply for grant funding when available and host an information session to inform the public about the project and display rehabilitation options under consideration.

A 2017 FLOOD event resulted in the loss of a significant amount

of shoreline.

Staff were successful in securing a $145,000 UBCM grant to conduct flood risk assessment and mitigation planning.

“This work is going to inform our phased approach for the shoreline plan, which includes what is before you today but also from tip to toe in Peachland,” Wiebe said, adding that grant funded work will allow them to ensure they are addressing the most vulnerable shoreline in Peachland and in the right manner.

The work will also align the municipality with the data and information needed to qualify

the municipality to apply for structural grants that UBCM has available. Wiebe says they are actively working on an application for a structural grant, which is a 100 per cent grant opportunity.

Wiebe says their consultants are currently conducting a full assessment and are going to fast-track the vulnerable areas to align with the grant opportunity.

Public information sessions conducted through the month of June were met with responses largely in favour of the restoration plan.

Okanagan Water Board calls for more help from province to fight invasive mussels JOANNE LAYH The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) is calling on the province for additional regulations to further protect our waters after 10 watercraft were intercepted coming into B.C. in recent months carrying adult invasive mussels.

Two of the 10 were headed to the Okanagan, while the others were on their way to Vancouver Island (3), the Lower Mainland (2), the Kootenays (2) and Alaska (1).

While the board recognizes improvements to the invasive mussel prevention program since it was established back in 2015, it is asking the province to do more to help keep invasive mussels out of our waters.

“Until we know we are in the clear and there is no chance of invasive mussels making their way into our waters, we are going to be pushing for senior government to do all they can to protect our waters,” OBWB Chair Sue McKortoff said. “Our lakes are not only an important tourist destination, they are important as a source of drinking water, to our fishery and the Okanagan’s delicate ecosystem, and much more.”

In a recent letter sent by the board to B.C. Minister of Environment and Climate Change George Heyman, McKortoff requested the province address the following “legislative and operational gaps:” • Follow Alberta and northwest partner states in implementing ‘pull the plug’ legislation that requires watercraft owners to remove the drain plug of their watercraft prior to transporting it; • Introduce legislation requiring all watercraft entering the province to report for inspection before launching into B.C. waters; • Renew a private-public funding agreement for inspection stations that

is set to expire in 2021 so operational planning can continue with funding certainty; and • Increase inspection program funding to at least 2017 levels to allow for an additional full-status conservation officer and two more canines.

“It’s wonderful that we have 64 inspectors, three full-status conservation officers who can chase down those who fail to stop at inspection stations, and two canines to help sniff out mussels,” McKortoff said. “But we only have one of 12 provincial inspection stations that are open 24-hours a day and there is no requirement to get an inspection when a station is closed.

We need to tighten things up. This is of paramount importance.”

McKortoff says according to their research a mussel infestation would cost the Okanagan at least $42 million a year to just manage.

“As such, since inspection stations were introduced in 2015, our combined efforts have potentially saved more than $168 million in the Okanagan alone,” she states.

The OBWB says it is doing its part to tackle the problem with its Okanagan WaterWise outreach and education program Don’t Move A Mussel campaign that launched back in 2013, as well as contributing $195,000 to the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS) to conduct additional outreach to boaters and water monitoring for mussels.

“We can’t stop there,” McKortoff says. “The combined programs are great, but they’re not catching everyone as is. We all need to keep pushing forward and making improvements along the way.”

Parents of underaged children should have a right to know LYONEL DOHERTY You may think that your 16-year-old child would never end up like Elliot Eurchuk who died of a drug overdose in 2018.

But that’s being naïve.

And if your child was seeing a doctor, like Elliot was, you may never find out what’s going on because that medical information is considered private and confidential.

Are you kidding? Wish I was.

Elliot’s mom found him unresponsive in his bedroom and tried to revive him, but it was too late; he was gone.

She suspected he was smoking marijuana but was shocked to learn he was addicted to street drugs.

His parents tried to help their son, but privacy laws restricted them from obtaining de-

tails about his addiction problems.

At the inquest, the family doctor said teenagers have a right to privacy when it comes to medical information.

During one visit, Elliot asked his doctor for an opioid prescription to manage pain in his shoulder following an injury.

Is this the type of information that should be withheld from parents under privacy rules? Absolutely not!

Elliot’s father said they needed this information to save their son, but they didn’t get it. In fact, countless parents in Canada are prevented from helping their children in their hour of need thanks to our privacy laws.

For example, I took my 14-year-old daughter to a medical appointment recently and asked

the receptionist if I could talk to the doctor afterwards to find out what was discussed. I was told that would be confidential information and that the doctor would not disclose it.

Excuse me? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

As a parent of an underage child, I have every right to know if there’s a health problem or not. To hold back potentially important details due to privacy rules is ludicrous. Parents need all the information they can get to save their children from harm, or in this case, death.

These rules must be changed to allow physicians to release this information. If they aren’t willing to do that, then they should face legal consequences if the child is harmed.

The fact is a child’s health trumps his or her privacy, and physicians should be legally obligated to inform parents if there is a concern about the child’s health and welfare.

While reading a recent article on the high rate of medical errors in Canada, I was flabbergasted to learn that millions of taxpayer dollars are transferred to the Medical Protective Association to fight these claims from patients.

You heard right. Your taxes help defend doctors in medical error cases. This is wrong and needs to stop.

It’s no wonder that patients rarely win their claims or frequently abandon them out of frustration.

No more housing construction until the golf course is complete Re: your article of last week [Council approves developer request for roof style change at Trails Place], you quote Darin Schaal, director of planning and development services, “You can imagine living next door to a construction site,” Schaal said. “You want to see it completed as well.”

Well said sir, we have been living next to a construction site for 10 years and are still waiting for the completion of the much promised golf course. I emailed Mayor Fortin some months ago, reminding her, once the Trails Place 69 units were finished, there is to be no more construction, and the

completion of the golf course was to be dealt with. Mayor Fortin did respond, saying her staff was looking into it and had heard nothing. Maybe you, Mr. Schaal, can enlighten us, as to what is happening with gravel pit across the road from us.

Jeff Clarke, Peachland

Make our residents proud with symbols that respresent all Peachland, it’s time to lead the charge.

Painted crosswalks seem to be the new craze so let’s lead the charge in creating one that is both inclusive, diverse and historic. Peachland is a beautiful lakeside community that was built on the backs of its fruit farmers, a home to Chinese workers during the building of the Kettle Valley Railway, an area traversed by First Nations people and today home to varied group

of Canadians.

How about painting a crosswalk with symbols that represent all of this rather than one small exclusive percentage of the population as represented by the logo for Pride? We could have a maple leaf to symbolize our great nation, a Fleur De Lis for our French history, feathers to represent our Indigenous nations, a basket of fruit for our agricultural history, a cross for

Christianity, a Start of David for our Jewish brethren that so many Canadians died to free, a collage of faces from around the globe, and yes a rainbow logo as well.

Let’s make our residents proud, make our visitors will feel welcome and embrace our humanity and a country for all.

Joan Niemeier, Peachland

Step up the waterfowl waste action, visitor suggests Dear editor, I am writing to you about a concern that I have as a visitor to the area for the last 15 years. First, I would like to extend a thank you to the people of Peachland for the friendly hospitality we receive each time we visit. It is because of this, and the peaceful nature of the town, that our family and many others that we know return every summer.

Over the course of our time visiting here, we have noticed a significant increase in the amount of waterfowl waste on the beaches, grassy areas and docks. Our observation is that this year it has been excessive. At Swim Bay, our kids are sitting on the dock that is full of excrement and it is also present in the surrounding water.

The life guards clean up the dock first thing in the

morning, but are not able to clean it to a point that is acceptable. Today, the dock was still covered in remnants after the clean up. We have visited other beaches and green areas in Peachland and are hard-pressed to find one that is not affected in some way. As such, our kids were covered head to toe in swimmer’s itch on the first day, whereas in years past, would get a few spots over the course of two weeks. We enrol our children in swimming lessons at Swim Bay each year, and were unable to participate for a couple days because the welts were so severe.

While we appreciate that geese are a part of the natural beauty of the town, the abundance of them is making it unpleasant to visit the natural areas. In other towns and cities that have had similar concerns, steps have

been taken to remedy the situation. There are many humane ways that have been successful in other communities to keep the geese away from areas that are frequently visited.

After 15 years, we have noted that any steps taken to correct this problem have either not been successful or are non-existent. Sadly, our family and the families that we travel with will not be returning next year. In a town that thrives on tourism, we felt it necessary to voice our concerns and disappointment. We hope that this concern will be recognized and steps will be taken, for the future of the town, and for future visitors to the area.

Highway merge lane and speed limits don’t make sense To the Editor: My wife and I recently passed a pretty significant rear ender north of the Highway 97 and 13th Avenue intersection and we both commented together, “When are they going to update this chunk of 70-year-old road?”

Of course, this bottle neck could have been safely eliminated years ago but a thoughtless minority of Peachlanders are doing everything they can to support these dangerous conditions until they get their own way. [They want] a full blown four-lane highway high in the mountains and right through our irreplaceable watershed. A bit like the fool who builds his house at the end of the runway and then whines about the aircraft. Been there. Seen that.

Ponderosa actually works. It’s plenty wide and plenty safe. Well, except for that stupid northbound merge lane off 13th. Who the devil would put that there? Highway traffic does not show down, nor should it, so the merging traffic increases speed to match the right hand lane of the

highway, as they should. The merging driver is watching his or her rear and left side during that merge and the then light turns red at Clements. Right in front of the merging traffic. Bang! Remove the merge lane and install a right turn signal. People can wait - and live.

So yes. There is plenty wrong with Highway 97 at Antlers Park, Hardy Falls, Renfrew, Chidley, Todd, Trepanier and the top of Buchanan, but it can all be made 21st century safe if it’s updated to 21st century standards. Parallel community access roads and modern, well controlled intersections are all we need. Build it in place. There’s plenty of room. And if you feel unsafe driving at real highway speeds, as my wife was smart enough to realize, give up that licence and take a bus.

And as an aside, why is the Highway 97 speed limit 90 km through Peachland only in those areas where there are a dozen or more short, blind and uncontrolled street accesses and then, strangely enough, only 70 km on the

Crime activity should be a highway decision consideration As the news of government plans for the Peachland bypass come to the news again I have a few thoughts to share with you. First, there have been a number of accidents on Highway 97 in the last few months that are never reported in the Peachland View. Why is this? Extra traffic that will increase as the valley grows is an important factor in deciding on which route a bypass or four-lane addition would be advisable, and is it not all of Peachland entitled to this information? The number and types of crimes committed in Peachland should also be considered as far as I am concerned. Are the crimes small inconvenient crimes

committed by locals or are they larger more violent crimes like postal box destruction and mail theft or crimes that require police action similar to what happened at the IGA parking lot recently? Will a bypass increase or decrease fines? Will widening the current highway increase or decrease how fast people drive through Peachland? How many and how long will widening the current highway take and how long will sections need to be closed for blasting? Anyone else have concerns they would like to share?

Barry Christian, Peachland

one long, safe, straight stretch of highway where there is no uncontrolled street access? I think that’s absurd but having only lived here 25 years I’m welcoming an expert’s full explanation.

Also this weekend a few of our outstanding Peachland rodeo members will be competing in the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals in Merritt. The top five competitors in each event from the five western provinces qualify to represent their respective provinces. We are very fortunate to have some of that talent right here as members of the Peachland Riding Club.

Sid Renaud, Grade 8, from Peachland, and a Junior High School Rodeo member who just returned from the National Junior High Finals in Huron, South Dakota, will represent Team BC in Breakaway Roping, Team Roping, Goat Tying and Pole Bending. Vanessa Caverly, Grade 11, a riding club member from Oliver who just returned from the National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyoming, will compete at the Canadian Finals this weekend in Breakaway Roping, Team Roping, Goat Tying and Barrel Racing.

Other upcoming events at the Peachland Riding Club include our regular monthly Gymkhanas this July 28 as well as August 25 and September 29. We are also hosting two big fall events, The Beachtown Showdown, an all-ladies rodeo on September 14 15, and our 12th Annual High School Rodeo will happen one weekend earlier than usual on October 4 - 6.

Different Gymkhana events include Thread the Needle, Keyhole Race, Stake Race, Pole Bending and Barrel Racing. There is usually a couple of fun surprise races too, so we never know what those are. It’s a surprise!

In the afternoon, usually around 4 p.m., a whole new group of competitors will arrive for a big prize money added barrel race the is part of a Saddle Series the Peachland Riding Club has been offering for many seasons now. This is a big hit and there is usually a lot of money to win and loads of fast beautiful horses to watch in the Saddle Series Races.

Terrance Wayne Rychjohn

A bright light has gone out in the world. Terry Rychjohn passed away suddenly May 30th 2019 at the age of 59.

He is survived by his wife and best friend Debbie, sister Darlene, brother Lawrence (Pat), brother Graham (Dianne), sister Donna (Brian) and their families.

Terry was born in Preeceville, Sask. He attended high school in Hudson Bay, Sask. where their mutual love of music and shared sense of humour brought Terry and Debbie together.

After post graduate schooling and employment in Saskatoon, Terry and Debbie moved to B.C. in 1987 and made their home in Peachland.

Terry worked on many projects in the Okanagan both large and small as a journeyman electrician. In 1993 Terry transitioned into retail and developed the Towne Centre Postal Outlet and Card Shop in Kelowna into the thriving business of which he was so proud. He often expressed deep appreciation for his hardworking and loyal employees.

Terry had an immense love for his family and many friends.

He always made time to lend an ear and a helping hand.

Terry loved life. Great times were had on boat rides, quad rides, camping trips, driving his new and beloved old classic cars, shooting pool and shooting the breeze with friends over a beer. He had a joke for every situation.

A picnic table dedicated in Terry’s memory will be placed in September on Thwaite Point next to Trepanier Creek in Peachland. A place to sit and remember a man well loved and a life well lived.

Dog not licensed? Beware of audit

An audit is underway at the regional district to determine the status of nearly 3,000 dogs that were licensed in 2018 but not in 2019. Of the approximately 2,968 dog licenses that weren’t renewed this year, it is expected that about half the owners no longer have their dog, according to regional district communications officer Bruce Smith.

“It may have died or the owner moved out of the region and didn’t let the regional district know,” Smith says.

That leaves the owners of the remaining unlicensed dogs subject to the regional district’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy – and a fine of $300.

Smith says bylaw enforcement staff will

begin contacting owners to determine the status of each dog so they can update their records.

Each year the regional district advertises dogs must be licensed but even after a license renewal notice has been mailed or emailed, some owners still don’t comply. Smith says that non-compliance impacts all taxpayers as “license fees contribute to the cost of providing dog control services throughout the Central Okanagan.”

On the upside, licensing compliance overall is up compared to data collected prior to the implementation of a regional strategy adopted to encourage and support responsible dog ownership in the Cen-

tral Okanagan.

“We’ve seen a remarkable turnaround in licensing compliance in the past years,” Smith says. “About 30 per cent of the dogs that come into the pound are unlicensed. Prior to encouraging and supporting responsible dog ownership in the Central Okanagan, that figure was 75 per cent. There are approximately 20,000 licensed dogs in the Central Okanagan and we thank those owners for being responsible and embracing the need for a license.”

Smith says having a dog licensed can provide the following benefits: • A license tag on a dog makes it easy for staff to reunite lost and ‘at large’ dogs; • A one-time, free ride home; • Fees contribute to the operation of the pound so that food, shelter and veterinary care can be provided to lost and homeless dogs; • Public safety: service is available to the community 24/7 including investigation of aggressive and dangerous dog attacks, and support for the victims; • Financial support of the SPCA spay and neuter program, public education initiatives including school programs, and dog adoption services;

• Staff to address neighbour dog-related conflicts; • Capturing and assisting injured or stray dogs; • Placement for unclaimed dogs; • Easy online dog license renewals using the My Dog Matters App (RDCO Dog App); • Education about nuisance and aggressive dogs, barking, and at-large dog behaviour; and • Licensed dog owners receive the My Dog Matters Rewards Program card that offers discounts or special services at more than 60 local participating businesses.

Licenses can be purchased, renewed or accounts maintained online or by using the My Dog Matters App (RDCO Dog App), in addition to the regional district office (1450 KLO Road, Kelowna), the Regional Dog Pound (890 Weddell Place, Kelowna), each municipal government office, and at the Kelowna branch of the SPCA (3785 Casorso Road). North Westside residents may also purchase a license when staff is available at the main fire hall (514 Udell Road) in Killiney Beach.

Watershed Protection Alliance conducts first forest watch workshop

PHOTO DON GUILD

PATRICIA DUNN Recently the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance conducted its first Forest Watch workshop, with environmental authorities sharing their expertise about how to observe and understand good and bad forestry practices. Together with the Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society and the Okanagan Naturalists Club, future forest watchdogs learned how to assess threats to the watershed, and how to document and report infractions.

One of the areas of concern identified at this forest watch workshop was logging underway in the Wilson Lakes area. The group documented what they considered to be poor construction of roads, ditching and culverts, as well as debris left at roadsides.

Consensus was that numerous clearcuts – amounting to hundreds of hectares – have not left enough wood standing to be viable for wildlife habitat. Damage to streams and lack of adequate riparian buffers were also examples of logging done without regard to forest values other than timber.

The area around the Wilson Lakes is a crucial wet zone with ponds and streams that will be impacted for decades. According to hydrologists, a clearcut may not begin to function like a mature forest until at least 30 (and up to 100) years after logging, whereas an intact forest could continue to function even after selective logging. Climate change may make it difficult for forests to regenerate at all.

The Okanagan Similkameen Parks Society representative, Clive Johnson, demonstrated the essentials forest watch members should carry in their toolkit, including flagging tape, tape measure, ski pole, camera and first aid.

This first forest watch workshop was a key step in developing a long-term public surveillance plan for Peachland’s community forest. Once a protected community watershed reserve with limited logging, the watershed was opened wide for commercial activities in the 1970s. Forest watch attendees left the workshop convinced of the urgency to preserve what is left of Peachland’s watershed.

Motorcycle crashes into stopped SUV near Antlers Beach JOANNE LAYH Two riders of a Harley Davidson motorcycle were transported to hospital last Sunday afternoon after crashing into a stopped vehicle along Highway 97.

The riders, a man and a woman, were transported by BC Emergency Health Services for medical treatment “of varying degrees of injuries believed to be non-life

threatening in nature,” RCMP Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said.

The stopped vehicle, a Dodge SUV, had three occupants, none of which reported any injuries.

Cpl. O’Donaghey said witnesses at the scene told police that an operator of a southbound grey Harley Davidson motorcycle had collided with the rear passenger side of a black Dodge Journey, which had re-

portedly stopped in an effort to make a left hand turn off the highway.

RCMP say the motorcycle sustained moderate damages and was towed from the scene.

The accident occurred near Antlers Beach just before 1:30 p.m. Witnesses who have not yet spoken to police can contact the West Kelowna RCMP detachment at 250-768-2880.

Rotary Club looks forward to Murder Mysteries CHRIS BOYLE It is the middle of July already. How time flies! I always seem to be thinking I have a lot of time to write these little pieces and wind up racing against the deadline!

This year’s final one of the four peace concerts on July 21 promised to be a blockbuster! And it was.

The later 6 p.m. start seemed to be popular and audiences have been appreciative of excellent music and cooler temperatures. Room to Dance gave a star performance to round out the season. Special thanks go to our performers this year and to the hard work and energy provided by our organizer, Peter Behnke, who puts in an incredible amount of time and energy finding and booking entertainers, finding dates and organizing the food services we provide, with the help of other members of our club.

Two weeks ago we had the ShelterBox survival tent set up and many of you gave generously in support of this incredible charity. As Rotarians, we thank you on behalf of all the people and families who will benefit from these survival kits. ShelterBox is a worldwide organization that is poised to help in disaster prone areas of the world, should disaster strike. Our club has, with your generous help, provided almost 50 ShelterBoxes over the past 15 years or so. For more information visit shelterbox.org.

Right now, around 85 million people around the world have been made homeless by natural disaster and conflict. Your donations are helping ShelterBox to change this.

In our world, the Rotary Club of Peachland will be “resting up” for our Murder Mysteries performance called Merlot, Meritage and Murder on September

27 - 28. There will be two this year, with a different murderer for each performance: no spoilers here!

Each performance takes place around the usual excellent meal prepared by the Peachland branch of the KGH Ladies Auxiliary, so you are both fed and entertained! Due to the growing popularity of this event we will be doing auditions this year, rather than asking individuals.

If you’re interested in auditioning to be a part of the on-stage fun please email madeleinenixon@outlook.com. Watch The View for more information on auditions and when tickets go on sale. Watch for our ads in The View and snaffle your tickets early: they go rather quickly. Eyes peeled!

In the fall we will again be running the Starfish programme with help from our incredible sponsors and helpers: watch for further information as the summer draws to a close and all the kids return to school.

You may not know, but we have a new president this year: Peggy Southin has stepped up again and is all set to lead us into 2020 and our best year yet!

Wish her luck when you see her: it’s an important job requiring finesse and selflessness as well as the ability to listen to the group.

If you are interested in finding out more of what we do, visit peachlandrotary.com or come to a Thursday meeting at 11:45 a.m. at the Gasthaus on Beach Avenue. You will meet a friendly bunch of people from all walks of life who share a common goal: helping others.

Passion4Art show at 50+ Activity Centre attracts over 400 visitors Art show included works by 24 exhibiting artists HEATHER YEATS

HEATHER YEATS

PASSION4ART WORKS ON display at the 50+ Activity Centre.

Passion4Art held a successful art show in the 50+ Activity Centre on Saturday, July 13 - 14.

More than 400 people visited the show, signing the guest book with complementary comments.

The hall was absolutely full of artwork. The 24 exhibiting artists, members of Passion4Art Friday art class held at the 50+ Activity Centre and taught

by Roberta Farrelly, had created works in acryl-

ics, colour pencils, pastel, pottery water colour and mixed media.

Entertainment and activities were provided both days.

Terry Moore spent both days demonstrating his sculpting skills to a rapt audience. He also displayed a number of his sculptures and paintings.

On Saturday, many of the visitors to the show spent three fun hours watching three artists named Troika paint a picture together (and at the

same time). Then they spent more time searching for Troikas signature figure “3” hidden in the painting. Troika are Louise McIntosh, Susan Driussi and Susan Haglund.

On Sunday we had an interactive activity based on the saying, “no man is an island.” We took a large frame and created 73 pieces. Everyone got the chance to paint one of the pieces using a wide range of colours except red and black. One

shape was painted with those two colours only.

When all the pieces were painted, we assembled the picture. Even the odd shape blended with the others, showing that we all fit into life’s pattern, no matter our individual skills, introvert tendencies, locomotive abilities, social standing. Whatever we are or do, we fit in somewhere.

Patti Howe of West Kelowna won the door prize, a painting by Roberta Farrelly.
