Council approves rainbow crosswalk, location to be determined

PHOTO DALE BOYD

PETER DINIZ, SECOND from the left, along with neighbours and friends who came out to support a rainbow crosswalk or sidewalk in the community at district council’s Nov. 12 meeting.

DALE BOYD Only one District of Peachland councillor voted against a rainbow crosswalk or sidewalk in the community, saying the LGBTQ message is

exclusionary.

Coun. Terry Condon was the lone vote opposed to the motion to install a rainbow crosswalk or sidewalk in Peachland at the committee of the whole meeting on Nov. 12.

“My concern madam Mayor is the, if I can use the term, exclusivity of a rainbow crosswalk. It doesn’t deal with the welcoming of those of colour, or different creed, or different race,” Condon said.

“My preference, as I’ve laid clear since the start of this discussion weeks ago, is to have painted on a crosswalk or somewhere in town that: ‘Peachland supports equality and inclusivity of all,’ or something of that nature.

Because I see the rainbow crosswalk as being an exclusive symbol LGBTQ+ and it doesn’t, by that very nature, include others.”

Condon’s comments came after Peter Diniz, who recently relocated to Peachland with his partner of 13 years, spoke to council Tuesday to provide further context on what a rainbow crosswalk means. Diniz told council of he and his partner’s search for an inclusive community when they set out to relocate from Vancouver.

“As a same-sex couple, we were somewhat concerned about leaving Vancouver for a small town in the Okanagan, but we are fortunate to live in Canada, where diversity and acceptance are a Canadian way of life,” Diniz said.

“We did notice that Peachland had no rainbow sidewalk and this was of

positive reactions.

“Perhaps these haters have not been exposed to derogatory slurs, hate comments, vandalism or violence just for holding your loved one’s hands in public, or in private. Perhaps these folks were never disowned by their family for being a bit different,” Diniz said.

Diniz said his preferred location would be the sidewalk in front of the historic Peachland school and he hopes the district would be ready to unveil the project in May of 2020 in time for Pride Month in June.

Coun. Pete Coolio was ultimately in support for the crosswalk or sidewalk, but reiterated concerns about vandalism and making sure people understood the message of inclusivity for all.

“This is what people don’t understand. Clearly, in this discussion we’ve had today there’s a lot of misunderstanding about this even within this room,” Coolio said.

Coolio said he was concerned of the negative publicity for Peachland should the crosswalk or sidewalk be vandalized.

“If we throw it down irresponsibly and it gets vandalized and that message gets proliferated across the country, or across the province, we are not using that symbol with pride, if you will, and with the caution and respect that we should,” Coolio said.

A cost estimate is somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500 for the rainbow crosswalk or sidewalk, and the decision as to the location will be discussed at a future meeting.

concern to us as potential residents,” Diniz said, however he quickly found the community accepting.

“The ‘gay thing’ was irrelevant, in fact, it was welcome. We decided to take a chance and never looked back. Our neighbours, which are here today, are welcoming and accepting, amazing friends. Businesses in Peachland have been amazing in welcoming to our new community,” Diniz said.

He spoke to council of the discrimination and violence faced by the LGBTQ community around the world, and that the rainbow symbol has expanded its definition in recent years.

“Yes, the rainbow sidewalk started as a protest in Sydney Australia for LGBTQ rights in 2003, but has evolved to include diversity, differences, inclusion, which I believe Peachland embraces,” Diniz said.

Diniz noted “insulting and ignorant” comments that appeared on the mayor’s Facebook page after the rainbow crosswalk came up at district council in September — when council delayed the decision to gather more information on the “rationale” for having a rainbow sidewalk or crosswalk in the community.

“Comments such as the LGBTQ is a special interest group, like a yacht club, if that is the case my membership dues are long overdue,” Diniz said.

However, Diniz said these comments are not representative of Peachland, with far more

Cannabis bylaw passed by council, allows for two shops in district DALE BOYD Peachland may be somewhat late to the cannabis game compared to other Okanagan communities, but on Tuesday council passed a bylaw approving the cultivation and sale of cannabis in the community.

The unanimous decision by council at their Nov. 12 regular meeting passed the bylaw amendment, which allows for up to two recreational cannabis retailers as well as individual and commercial cultivation.

Eighteen people attended the public hearing held on Nov. 12 in council chambers. Of those, only two stepped

forward to speak — mostly with questions about medicinal cannabis and commercial license submissions.

Two letters were received, both in favour of medicinal cannabis in the community.

The bylaw allows for a maximum of two recreational cannabis shops,

which cannot be within a 75-m radius of schools.

One shop will likely be set up in the downtown area of Peachland and another likely to be located at the mall, said Mayor Cindy Fortin. However, the application review process needs to take place before any shop can open

There are a lot of people that we’ve heard from that are looking forward to having access to both medicinal marijuana and recreational marijuana,” Fortin said.

A scoring system will be applied to applications for shops submitted to the district and council and staff will have the task of grading applications and deciding which is the best fit for the community.

“We wanted to make sure we do it the best way possible, listened to the public, had lots of input, and we’re really ready to go,” Fortin said.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing healthcare across Canada.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

You can register to be part of this groundbreaking new hearing study by calling 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study *Wingfield, A., Tun, P. A., & McCoy, S. L. (2005).

The perils of politicizing the poppy DALE BOYD I started writing about the politicization of the poppy before this past weekend became less about remembrance, and more about Don Cherry.

I originally set out to opine on the fake story of a rainbow poppy causing a fake ruckus, a story put forward by a former Conservative candidate Cyara Bird who said her 17-year-old cousin had been suspended for voicing opposition to wearing a rainbow-coloured poppy — which was quickly revealed to be untrue.

But my message remains the same, even if Cherry said (another) thoughtless and baseless thing: the poppy is not about your personal politics, the poppy is not about who is wearing one and who is not, or the right way to wear one.

The poppy is a symbol of

remembrance and, more importantly, is the main outreach campaign for a charity with the sole purpose of helping veterans and their relatives who are in need of assistance.

Judging by the response of some Legion leaders, I’m guessing the “you people” rant by Cherry is not helpful to the charitable cause.

Remembrance Day takes place on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, marking the end of the First World War, as we all know by now. We remember on Nov. 11, not to show support for the military or war, or argue about immigration or foreign policy, but to remember the senseless death that war produces. Not only that, but the poppy campaign helps support those who are still living with the enduring impacts of conflict, whether that is physical injury or post traumatic

stress, which continue to affect veterans and their families long after their service ends.

It should be noted that Cherry, like the living embodiment of a Facebook comment section, was basing his observation on that new Canadians are not wearing poppys on nothing.

I have an odd proximity relationship with the military, growing up next to an air force base and washing the dishes of fighter pilots for a summer job. I’m a second generation “military brat,” as most people in the service call it. However, when I wear the poppy I mostly reminisce on loss, and the aforementioned senselessness of war. I can understand how different people would have different personal relationships with the symbolism of the poppy, but we should remember many of the

fallen fought wars against regimes built on nationalism and fascism.

Regimes who would divide populations with jingoism and use “you people” in much more frightening and divisive ways.

I am aware there is no shortage of opinion on this subject, and almost every year there seems to be an attempt of one sort or another to politicize the poppy. While we have these discussions we remember the reality behind the poppy, the over half a million veterans who may rely on the donations the campaign brings in for support.

No matter your politics or opinions, I think it is fair to say veterans put more into their country than most, and the poppy should not be used as a political tool of blame or advocacy.

Safety Council: Keep seniors from falling into the hospital It’s an unfortunate fact of life that there tends to be a correlation between an aging population and hospitalization rates. With Canada being comprised of an ever-growing number of senior citizens, it’s important to know what’s causing these hospital visits so we can help address these causes as a society.

Nov. 6 to 12 was National Senior Safety Week and this year, the Canada Safety Council is shedding light on the most common causes of injury-related hospitalizations among seniors.

As a demographic, Canadians over the age of 65 are disproportionately represented in hospitalization statistics, which prompts the question: what can we do to help?

According to Statistics Canada, seniors aged 65 and above account for

35 per cent of our population.

And yet, according to new research by the Canadian Institute for HealthInformation, this same demographic is represented in 51 per cent of all injury-related hospitalizations in Canada in 2017-2018. (Hospitalization is defined as a patient being admitted and spending at least one night in the hospital.)

An overwhelming majority of these cases were fall-related, too – a whopping 81 per cent of all senior injury hospitalizations in 2017-2018 were due to falls. Comparatively, falls represent only nine per cent of all injury hospitalizations in Canada between 2015 and 2018.

If you’re helping to take care of a senior, fall prevention must be at the forefront of your mind. Between phys-

ical conditions, deteriorating health and potential medication side-effects, falls can be much more likely to occur.

Follow these tips and you won’t have to live in fear of dealing with the repercussions of a serious fall: * Physical activity can reduce the chances of a fall. Gentle exercise can improve flexibility, balance and muscle strength; all of these are important factors in maintaining stability. * Make sure living areas are well-illuminated. Bright lighting makes it easier to spot potential trip hazards ahead of time and avoid them. * Along those same lines, keep living areas as clear and free of trip hazards as possible Keep furniture, boxes, electrical cords and any loose objects away from high-traffic ar-

apartment there’s no way for us to know who surrounds us.

I was talking to a friend last week about it, and I realized how fortunate I am. My neighbourhood is full of good people. I have so many good memories in my neighbourhood; I remember I was out loading the moving truck 13 years ago when one of my neighbours came by to welcome us.

My neighbours have been there when we welcomed our second daughter, I came home to a bouquet of balloons outside my door.

Pet of the Week

Thank you Sutherland Rd. neighbours Some would say neighbourhoods have changed over the years. In the past, people brought welcome baskets to the new people on the block.

Sometimes they help with a project. People would stop by for coffee and leave a list of important numbers. Neighbours shared tools and garden equipment so everyone didn’t have to go out and buy expensive items that they wouldn’t often use.

This kind of neighbourhoods still exist and it’s very important but unfortunately when you buy a house/condo/

eas. Loose rugs should be secured with double-sided tape or tacks to avoid slipping. * Invest in a good pair of non-slip shoes. While convenient and comfortable, slippers and slick-soled shoes can be contributing factors in falls, as can wearing only socks.

Comfortable non-slip shoes can also reduce joint pain and contribute toward more stability. * Install rails, grab bars and other assistive devices around the house, especially high-mobility areas like staircases and bathtubs A healthy senior community benefits all Canadians and eases the strain on our healthcare system.

Email a picture and description of your pet to admin@peachlandview.com

They participate in my kids’ school fundraiser with a big smile. All of the above makes it for a great neighbourhood!

Some might say we are stuck in the past, but there are advantages to having good mutual relationships with neighbours and knowing those who live around us.

Vaping illness affects three, enforcment tricky for School District 23 DALE BOYD Roughly one third of School District 23’s population in middle school or older have tried vaping, according to the superintendent of schools.

Three students in the school district appear to have “really negative reactions to the amounts of nicotine in the vaping e-juice they were using off-campus,” said Kevin Kaardal, SD23 superintendent of schools.

“A lot of parents don’t understand how dangerous it is,” SD23 chair Moyra Baxter told Peachland district council at the Nov. 12 committee of the whole.

No smoking is allowed on school grounds including vaping, but enforcement is a real challenge according to school district officials.

“Even if we had sensors outside the washroom doors, you’d have principals running down and then, what? Well, the person who vaped left.

We don’t do body searches,” Kaardal said, adding it is easy for students to quickly hide vaping devices.

If caught vaping in schools, students can have their devices confiscated, but they are eventually returned to parents. If parents refuse to take the devices, they are then handed over to the RCMP. Though some parents are giving their vaping devices back to students after being confiscated, trustees said.

“It’s very challenging to enforce it, but if you do actually see somebody and we’re able to take a photo, we can use that photo, they can get a $56 ticket,” Kaardal said.

Education about vaping has started with Grade 5 students in the school district, though it is less of a “scared straight,” program and more focused on informative educational resources.

“It’s quite interesting when it has been prototyped out in the community. Grade 5s are really mad when they find out these are huge companies like Phillip Morris that are tricking them,” with flavours and marketing including different shapes of vaping devices, Kaardal said.

Some students have

“

Even if we had sensors outside the washroom doors, you’d have principals running down and then, what? Well, the person who vaped left.

- Kevin Kaardal

taken to tricking their teachers into unwittingly charging their vape devices shaped like USB drives as well.

“Students are trying to get teachers to use their computers to power up their vapes to recharge them,” Kaardal said. “We

have rules about people bringing external drives in the school, I want to be clear about that.”

School districts are working with the Interior Health Authority (IHA) on a coordinated approach primarily focused on education, broadening

health programs from Grade 5 up. Addiction relief is the next step with IHA. “A lot of students are now addicted to nicotine. It’s a significant amount of nicotine in some of these products and you can get addicted very, very quickly,” Kaardal said. “Cessation programs for that are now a worry for us.”

A developing black market on vaping is drawing concern as well.

Of the 40 deaths in the U.S. related to vaping illness 29 were connected to black market e-juice which contained cannabis.

Vaping may not be the most important issue facing the school district according to Kaardal.

“There are lots of other

concerns I think are even more significant in terms of education and health, like mental health and food scarcity, than vaping,” Kaardal said.

There have been four cases of vaping-related illnesses in B.C., but no deaths related to vaping in the province.

Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance hosting AGM this month PWPA Do you enjoy fresh mountain air, majestic scenery, or bird watching? Are you a winter sports enthusiast, a “citizen scientist” or a let’s take a Sunday stroll kind of person? If so, then you’re hired, we are the organization for you.

The Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance is part of a global movement that recognizes that water is our most precious resource and deserves our protection. Our mandate is the preservation and protection of watersheds in our community with a goal of providing consistent quality, quantity and timing of flow for the benefit of the community.

PWPA advocates for more local control of watersheds both for the benefit of the District of Peachland and communities throughout the Province.

Our efforts help to support raising community awareness of the value of water and its importance

to the quality of life of all Peachland residents. Specifically, our activities encourage outreach, the purpose of which is to engage residents, from youth to seniors, in environmental education programs and activities. 2019 was a busy and productive year for us. When the PWPA first formed over three years ago we suspected large scale industrial use and climate change were negatively affecting our back country, especially the drainage and health of water, not just for human consumption but for all the other uses supplied to the ecosystem. We advocated for: • a pause in logging, • a full watershed health review • the establishment of a community stake holder or round table advisory committee.

This year we were heard loud and clear; the District of Peachland wrote to our Minister of Forests Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural

Development, Doug Donaldson, and asked for: • A time out on further cut block permitting • A complete watershed assessment • A stakeholder engagement plan for future logging activities Our Council has placed watershed health as a top priority and until the Provincial government and the Ministry of Forests investigates thoroughly, the cumulative impacts on our water quality, quantity and timing of flow throughout our drainage basin, we at PWPA will continue to advocate for watershed health and support our Council.

In 2019, PWPA witnessed the implementation of some of their asks. Many members of the provincial government are placing emphasis on advocating for water: • This summer the Forestry Ministry watchdog, Forest Practices Board, stated “Government needs to commit the necessary resources to move ahead with a more integrated approach to planning in community watersheds, especially where watersheds are at risk.”

• This year the Auditor General has reported

MARTHA JENKINS D004861081 PV06 !

that B.C. is failing to protect drinking water and encourages the adoption of “The Drinking Water Protection Act which allows authorities to recommend a drinking water protection plan to ensure source watersheds are protected.”

• The Green party MLA Adam Olsen, after visiting our watershed, has exposed the true costs of open and unlimited multi uses in a designated community watershed. Where water purveying is the prime use of an area, more protections are needed. Just as the ALR designations in the ‘70s protected lands for development for food security, farming and farming communities, watersheds like Peachland that supply drinking water could be zoned protected for water security, watery supply, and uses complimentary, not contrary to watershed health. Similar protected “zoning” is enjoyed in Vancouver and Victoria.

MLA Olsen believes “the Peachland water treatment project is costing local taxpayers more than $24 million. There is a feeling that all of these expenditures wouldn’t be necessary had the provincial government not been so myopic

in its view of forests for their revenue value but also calculated the social, environmental and economic cost of cutting the forests down.”

• The annual report on the Budget 2020 Consultation released by the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services this summer recommended the establishment of a water sustainability fund to fund watershed protection work; this is listed as one of the Committee’s overall recommendations to the B.C. Legislative Assembly.

• The provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure decision to not place a new four-lane bypass through our community watershed made clear that overall environmental and ecosystem safety and values long-term outweigh the short term local need for more roads.

Whatever our governments decide to do, delay is not an option. We have to get out of our own way. This was made clear by the lobbying of our First Nations, their traditional knowledge in the Okangan basin helped MOTI arrive at their recent “no high line bypass” conclusions. Current eco-

system based changes to the business as usual natural resource extraction practiced by forestry licensees and other industries are taking place in this valley right now. Both our Syilix neighbours to the north, Westbank First Nations, and to our south, Penticton Indian Band, are developing and implementing a new practice of forestry. A set of forestry guidelines that, when complete, will place into protection as equal, all the values of the watershed - not just the short term value of timber as 2x4s.

The PWPA is looking forward to these Syilx Forestry Standards. This is groundbreaking work, Peachland is fortunate to be centered in the midst of a “pilot project” that through collaborations of First Nations, local governments and the community voice, we will start to heal our watersheds.

Holistic plans that expand to 150 years over the entire drainage, not merely a 5 year clear cut plan of a fragmented permitted area, are inspiring.

If you are interested and want to learn more, say more and do more, come to the PWPA AGM next week, and listen to Syilx elder, Chris Eneas and Penticton councillor Elliot Tonasket’s vision for community collaboration for Conservation, Preservation and Restoration, “CPR” for our watersheds!

The AGM takes place on Nov. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m., doors open at 6:30 p.m. at the Little Schoolhouse at 1898 Brandon Lane in Peachland. For more information visit peachlandwpa. org, email peachlandwpa@ gmail.com or call 250-7676456.

Lead in water not an issue for school district, Peachland Elementary DALE BOYD Investigative reporting from multiple media outlets has exposed lead in drinking water at dangerous levels in communities across Canada, but School District 23 is confident parents and students do not have to worry about the issue locally.

In 2016 lead was found in the water in Prince Rupert, including schools,

which started the process of testing for the local school district, according to Kevin Kaardal, superintendent of schools for SD23.

“Maybe serendipity, but we had already begun testing water. I think probably because Rutland Middle School in its age as you’re trying to look at a 70-yearold building and what piping is connecting to water fountains, and when

were they replaced, and all those things,” Kaardal told Peachland district council on Nov. 12 at the committee of the whole.

At the time, the safety standard was 10 parts per billion, which the water at all the schools in SD23 came in below. Rutland Middle School tested their water a second time with the results showing lead at seven parts per billion, which led to the

replacement of aging infrastructure and drinking fountains at the time.

In 2019 the health standard changed to lead levels below five parts per billion.

“All of them are well below five parts per billion, and have been. So Peachland, for example, is safe,” Kaardal said.

The rotating third of schools tested each year ensures all the schools

are tested for lead levels in water every three-year period.

The school district encompasses multiple water systems as well, with at least three different schools drawing from different systems creating some variance in the results.

The Okanagan may have some geographical help as well, according to Kaardal.

“The water in the

Okanagan tends to be quite alkaline which means it’s not acidic and doesn’t eat away at even old pipes typically. So it is only by water sitting for a long time that you can get these small increases of lead content. The flushing of water through to make sure there is never enough lead sitting in there that someone drinking it would be over the safety limit,” Kaardal said.
