Newly formed TEDC requests two supports for economic recovery JOANNE LAYH At their last regular meeting, Peachland council unanimously supported two economic recovery requests made by the newly formed Tourism and Economic Development Committee (TEDC). Back in May Peachland council supported a recommendation to disband the Peachland’s Economic Development Committee and Tourism Promotion Committee and reform them into one new committee, the TEDC. The members of the TEDC include committee chair Shelley Sweeney, vice chair Rick Ingram, secretary Lynne Herrin, Councillor Pam Cunningham, Councillor Pete Coolio, Erin Chadwick, Janet Hornseth, Nicole Moreau, Madeleine Nixon, Darci Ritchley and Peter Schierbeck. At the TEDC’s inaugural meeting on June 22 the committee passed two resolutions for council consideration: • A 2020 budget request for $3,000 from council to achieve the objectives of the committee, namely to implement activities and events that promote Peachland and bring about increased awareness of and activity in recreation, tourism, businesses and attract visitors to Peachland during the COVID-19 pandemic; and • That the TEDC recommends that council supports the South Okanagan Tourism Alliance, which would involve a $2,500 investment. The $2,500 cost for Peachland to participate in the South Okanagan Tourism Alli-

ance would be a one-time request with future funding being embedded in the PCAC budget, said Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services. “This endeavor is outside of the scope of the committee as it is within the mandate of the Visitors Services Contract with the Peachland Community Arts Council (PCAC),” said Wiebe in her report to council. “As such, a request will be sent from the PCAC to council for consideration. This is a unique request outside of the original budget presented by the PCAC.” Wiebe said according to Section 2.3 of the Visitor Centre Operating Agreement, “From time to time during the term, the district may request the PCAC to develop, implement and provide additional services not provided for under this agreement…. If the district and the PCAC agree to the additional services, the district will provide such funding to the extent district funding is required under the agreed upon budget for the additional service.”
“This was not something that could be planned or prepared for. COVID was not a glimmer in anyone’s eye back in 2019 when this contract was out for tender and the arts council bid on it,” Wiebe said. “It’s a unique opportunity that council may want to engage in.” Wiebe said the financial plan includes $3,000 previously allocated to the economic development committee that could be reallocated to support this request and she went on to make several other remarks regarding the PEDC requests: • The marketing brand is the “South Okanagan” and Peachland is in the Central Okanagan; • Peachland is only one of the access points to the South Okanagan. Not all travellers come through Peachland; • Peachland is uniquely situated on the southernmost boundary of the Central Okanagan and bordering the boundary of the South Okanagan; and • The Recovery Task Force also provided a resolution of support stating, “The Recovery Task Force supports the Visitor’s Centre’s effort to join the South Okanagan Tourism Alliance and we encourage council to take whatever steps are necessary to enable Peachland’s participation in the alliance”. “Each year, folks from all over the world come to Peachland to vacation and invest in the local economy,” Darci Ritchey, Peachland Visitor Information Centre manager wrote in a letter to council. “COVID-19 has significantly impacted not only Peachland, but communities all over the Okanagan. In response, and for the first time, tourism organizations in the South Okanagan have collaborated and developed a long-term plan to bring tourism dollars back into our economies and have organized themselves as the South Okanagan Tourism Alliance (SOTA).” “I guess I can understand the reasoning behind this, it just seems for lack of a better word ‘weird’ to be a part of a Southern Okanagan Tourism Alliance when we’re not the Southern Okanagan, and I have a hard time getting past that,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said. “Does anyone else think it’s strange to be teaming with a group that’s from the South Okanagan? Any visitors we can get and any promotion of Peachland is a good thing, but it just seems strange to be a part of the Southern Okanagan when we’re not.” Councillor Keith Fielding said they shouldn’t get too hung up on the geographical titles involved. “We’re Central Okanagan and there’s also separate organizations south of us, but in reality we’re pretty closely connected with Summerland and with Penticton so I think that if this is going to help to include us in publicity, it doesn’t really matter to my mind whether it comes from the south or it comes from the centre or it comes from the north. In terms of the tourism related goals, it would seem to me to make sense,” Coun. Fielding said. Councillor Terry Condon agreed with Coun. Fielding. “As long as we get $2,500 worth of advertising benefit out of this, I think it’s a win,” Coun. Condon said. Mayor Fortin said she was convinced that even though Peachland isn’t a part of the South Okanagan, the community should still participate in SOTA. Ritchey said at minimum Peachland will be featured on the South Okanagan Tourism Alliance website and the website will link directly to Peachland’s tourism website as well. SOTA’s landing page will also have a space for the visitor guide and Peachland will also be featured on travel itineraries.

Sweeper and dog program explored as best solutions for dropping problem JOANNE LAYH A recent round of complaints about goose droppings along Beach Avenue led council to discuss possible solutions at their last regular meeting. “I know it’s an ongoing problem throughout the region,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said. Mayor Fortin suggested the district consider adopting a bylaw prohibiting the feeding of geese. “It’s not going to solve the problem completely but at least it will stop encouraging people to feed the wildlife,” Fortin said. “My interest is knowing what we actually do to deter them,” Councillor Terry Condon said. Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services, said the municipality’s only formal control is through the Okanagan Valley Goose Management Program, which is the egg-addling program. “Over the course of the last number of years we’ve tried many things with some success to no success. We have tried decoys, which are really expensive to buy and unfortunately have been stolen every time we put
them out. There was a wine byproduct that we were able to buy for a few years that we were able to put on the grass that the geese didn’t like. That product is no longer available and considered safe, so we’re not able to do that,” Wiebe said, adding they’ve also tried a laser, silhouettes of dogs, and other things but the geese are smart little beasts. “With everything that we’ve done we find they’re sly little suckers and basically when we’re there will leave and get so smart they see your vehicle coming and they will leave. Yet as soon as you turn and leave, they come back,” Wiebe said. “One of the things we’ve talked about in the past that might be worthy of further conversation is an unofficial dog program where we work with dog owners who have good care and control of their dog and allow them to have their dogs off leash in the early morning hours,” Wiebe stated. “The geese tend to move along once the beaches become populated. So this year with it being so rainy, we’ve had a lot more of a problem because the geese are comfortable because no one’s chasing them away.”
New bylaw enforcement and licensing officer
Councillor Patrick Van Minsel said he supports the idea of an unofficial dog program and thinks it would be effective. Wiebe said official strategies can cost in the neighbourhood of $60,000 - $80,000, adding that bigger communities like Kelowna and Penticton engage in falcons and drones and those kinds of things, but it is a bit out of reach for Peachland. Programs to harass the geese would require a permit and a ‘licensed harasser,’ council also learned. Coun. Condon asked about a goose poop sweeper that has worked in other municipalities. Wiebe said the sweepers cost in the range of $10,000 and if they acquired one, it would require about two hours a day for someone to run it. “It seems to me that would be the easiest and cheapest for us to look at at the moment,” Coun. Condon said, adding it is something they might want to consider in next year’s budget. The idea of finding a COVID grant program to hire a summer student to shovel the droppings was also discussed.

PEACHLAND’S BYLAW ENFORCEMENT and Licensing Officer Roy Biedrava was appointed by council last month to administer
bylaw enforcement and licensing services within the district. Born and raised in Penticton, Biedrava is happy to be back home in the Okanagan after serving as a special provincial constable in the Lower Mainland. Prior to that he was stationed at Tsawwassen First Nation in Ladner, where he was hired to create their first peace officer program, drawing on prior experience with the provincial peace officer program in Alberta. Biedrava brings municipal, provincial and federal bylaw enforcement experience to the position and is happy to be situated in Peachland, where he enjoys the sense of community. “I’m from Penticton so coming back home here is fantastic,” said Biedrava.

Resident bylaw officer curious Where is Blake? We are all missing Blake, our Peachland bylaw officer. He has been so good in the days gone by - such a happy demeanor and everyone was delighted to see him fulfill his duties here in Peachland. And when necessity dictated, he could give out tickets, as he often did. We are all missing him and, if he has been replaced, we cannot find out if it is someone of the same calibre as Blake. Where is he? Patricia M. Gowing, Peachland Editor’s Note: Please see Page 3 for an introduction to Peachland’s new bylaw officer.
Federal spending out of control Dear editor, The House of Commons will finally sit, to discuss the relative merits of extending CERB (Canada Emergency Response Benefits) until December. It has already been established CERB will cost an estimated $73.1 billion, and that young people living with their parents could receive as much as $11.8 billion of that, without getting out of their beds in the morning, and without suffering a means test. But the prime minister will not be there. He has gone fishing. Prudent use of public finances should always be a top priority for any government, but Trudeau’s contempt for the people and our democratic institutions has augured him into a corner without an exit. With the federal budget deficit now projected to reach almost $350 billion he has completely disconnected from the fiscal monster he created. Attempting to manipulate a 900-million student jobs program that now has no forwarding address, while trying to administer that $600 million dedicated to awarding a media that would be ‘nice’ to him only adds to the burden. It’s obvious Trudeau is in way over his head, but running is not the answer, at this stage of the game, only resigning will be an acceptable exit. Andy Thomsen, Kelowna

OPINION
Retired forest professional argues deforested terminology is inaccurate I have followed for some time now a trail of letters authored by the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, whose root interests in sustainable forest management considerations of watershed health (among other values) are most certainly valid, common interests. Yet with the plethora of misinformation and abundant virtue-signaling messages from the cancel-culture and eco-alarmism that is all pervasive these days, I could not let one of their recent letters pass absent of a rebuttal on one point of terminology they have chosen to insert into their appeal (July 17, “Watershed Alliance says Okanagan Lake flooding can be prevented”). PWPA has rather deliberately used the term “deforested” in reference to a statement that “40 per cent of our Okanagan watersheds have been deforested”. More specifically, they loosely use terminology around “deforestation” in direct critique of logging and forest management practices both locally and broader. These words have rather specific technical meaning in their utility within natural resource fields, essentially the ‘permanent removal’ of forests for conversion to other land-uses by management objectives, strategies and physical practices. Such is by definition exactly the very opposite of what is actually practiced locally, provincially and nationally under our well-defined, well-monitored, and exceptionally delivered sustainable forest management policies. Nowhere in Canada on public lands are forests harvested without mandated and closely monitored harvest design and reforestation requirements. To critique those practices using the terms “deforested” and “deforestation” is inaccurate, misrepresentation, and otherwise irresponsible lexicon regardless of the subject cause-of-appeal, or any rational, valid root interests of those authors. I would direct readers to any number of annual statistical assessments of Canada’s forest state by Natural Resources Canada / Canadian Forest Service or sustainable forest management certification bodies regarding the state of tenured and non-tenured forest landscapes in Canada. These assessments compare and contrast Canadian practices to other global players. In fact, “deforestation” in Canada occurs dominantly only as a factor of agricultural expansion, urban development, linear infrastructure development (utilities and roads), and acreage development. Public land use policies simply do not permit “’deforestation” to occur otherwise. A young, regenerating forest post-harvest is not a “deforested” landscape. Logged forests under tenure locally and in Canada occur under ever-evolving practices that are science-guided, publicly influenced and policy mandated to assure reforestation and performance. In fact, Canada is a world-leader in the investment in collaborative forest science research and the evidence of science-influenced adjustment of practices that seek continual adaptive improvement. In a number of areas of Canada, the transition to an ecosystem-based type of forest management (“EBM”) that is guided by parallel scientific experimental monitoring designs and partnerships in delivering EBM harvest designs, has presented promising evolution the past two decades to elevate Canada’s practices. Such approaches could readily address many of the underlying objectives, interests and concerns that PWPA attempts to lobby for. Now anyone who has actually been engaged in frontline government, industry or academic research careers in forest ecology and management will tell you that most of Canada’s forests, including our local Okanagan forests, exist and remain healthy under a disturbance regime dominantly characterized by wildfire. They require ‘disturbance’ to function from an ecosystem-health perspective, and wildfire has thus been part of their story for thousands of years.

Not entirely absent of fire, as recent decades will remind us, Canada’s forest management practices have been rather successful otherwise in attempting to “protect” us from wildfire by suppressing as many fire starts as possible for decades, excepting of course those that thwart human efforts to control them. The product of that multi-decadal effort, at least in part, has been a widescale, increase in mature to older forests among the collection of all other forest age classes within the distribution profile, than might otherwise normally occur under an un-managed, free-to-burn state. And while the idea of hands-off, full-protection of all forests might appeal to some folks, the priority values of community safety, human life, economy, employment, and daily consumable comforts would suggest that we do not have the luxury in this day to simply abandon forest management and fire suppression in exchange for the all-natural pathway of normative forest health drivers to do what they have done for eons. Under today’s context of diverse human needs associated with local, provincial and national scale forests, I will take EBM-based forest management, logging, reforestation, and a carefully designed landscape mosaic of youngto-old, natural-to-managed forests any day over the rhetorical, simplistic “protected forests” utopian paradigm that too many organizations attempt to sell. To choose otherwise is simply an invitation to the unbridled natural chaos and stochastic history of wildfire regimes, which I suppose if one lives in an urban centre, you might be at least partially removed from worrying about. We need forest management ‘in our backyard’. Some of us have staked our life’s vocation upon pro-active influence, continual learning, and engagement at-table in the science and contributing delivery of new practices that continually evolve Canadian forest practices. The professionals that PWPA strongly criticizes are not weekend readers of select conservation science, cherry-picking the publications or landscape models that suite their interests-based advocacy. They are trained in credible institutions, operate under defined objectives-based standards of ethic and mentoring, routinely strive to learn, experiment and improve, while they interact among multi-disciplinary government, industry and academic research peer collaborators as well as through public and Indigenous consultation forums. They have dedicated their careers to make a difference “from the inside” rather than lay a continuum of critique from the outside. They understand that most landscape models they use are wrong, cannot “predict” outcomes for watershed or biodiversity, yet provide guidance as decision support and scenario-analysis tools. The utility of tired, rhetorical language such as “deforested” and “deforestation” is an unproductive, undue insult to them and to the true story of forest management in Canada. I would challenge PWPA and the authors of their letters to dig deeper, open their eyes, and to find more productive means to influence by engaging employment in these multi-disciplinary fields or by engaging participation in objectives-based consultation with the diverse credible professionals in government, industry and natural resource management science collaborating to make a difference every day.

Birds of Peachland: the Lazuli Bunting
MARION HALL During the summer in Peachland, we get used to seeing our regular species such as Sparrows and Robins. But sometimes we are given a treat with the sight of an unusual and colourful bird. Seeing a Lazuli Bunting recently at the bird feeder was such an occasion. This is a small finch-like bird and the male has a bright blue head and chest. As with many bird species, the female is not as colourful and has a plain grey-brown head. There
COMMUNITY
are several types of Bunting and this one has a head colour that looks similar to the Mountain Bluebird. They spend the summer in the southern interior preferring dense thickets and shrubby areas. They have a diet of insects and seeds. The female chooses the nest site and makes the nest, usually in shrubs or small trees. The male sings persistently from high perches and no two males have identical songs.

Meet BEEPS summer students at farmers’ market
HI! MY NAME is Randi Evans and I’m an Okanagan girl through and through. Born and raised in Westbank, I’ve lived here my entire life. After completing my BBA at Okanagan College, I completed my Chartered Professional Accounting designation in 2018, and have been working in public practice at Claude P. Bernard Inc. for the past five years. As an Okanagan girl I love all of the great things we have to offer here - hiking, swimming, gardening, golfing and most recently, learning about bats!
BEEPS SUMMER STUDENTS Jackson Macpherson and Michael Shearwood with Peachland Farmers’ and Crafters Market manager Linda Arpin and market society president Karen Onrait-Casper.
HEIDI SLYNGBOM BEEPS
BEEPS (Bat Education and Ecological Protection Society) would like to congratulate all the recipients of the Spirit of Peachland Civic Awards. It is an honour to be living in a community of such committed, inspirational and selfless individuals, one of whom was Aiyana Bremner. We were delighted to have her represent BEEPS this past year during her role as a Peachland Ambassador. Our organization continues to evolve and with that comes change. Our treasurer “Money Bat” Doris Muhs has decided to retire from the board this year. We would like to thank Doris for all her dedication to BEEPS and the Rubber Ducky Race over the years and wish her much health and happiness. We would like to introduce our new treasurer director Randi Evans. Randi’s bat name is Treasure Bat and she truly is a treasure, bringing with her a number of years of financial experience as a certified professional accountant, a positive outlook and desire to learn about bats. With adversity comes opportunity. The COVID-19 pandemic and protocols have prompted us to look into ways of offering our programs and information virtually. Our summer students have been busy preparing activities via videos and social media that both respect social distancing protocols as well as now provide an opportunity to offer these activities to individuals with mobility challenges. We invite you to check beepspeachland.com or visit us at the Legends of the Lake Interpretive Centre in the Peachland Historic School for information on our bat chats, Bat Interpretive Trail, Historic Bat Trail, geocaching and other activities that can now be done virtually. While there, we hope you take the opportunity to view our New Life in the Attic Video that is displayed next to our live feed monitors showing our maternity colony of bats. Our students have also been involved with various activities to support our community including working with the District of Peachland on green roofs and bat friendly lighting (watch for more information on this in a future article by one of our students) as well as helping the Peachland Farmers’ and Crafters Market each Sunday with set up, take down, monitoring
