Toni Boot to go up against Dan Ashton in snap provincial election DALE BOYD

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE Premier John Horgan is following through with the rumoured snap election in B.C., adding more uncertainty to an already precarious fall season for many British Columbians. Voters will head to the polls Saturday, Oct. 24, though the full slate of who they will be voting for is unclear in the Penticton riding, which encompasses Penticton, Summerland, Peachland and Naramata. As of press time, the BC Greens had not yet announced a candidate in Penticton for the

2020 election. Incumbent BC Liberal Dan Ashton has confirmed he is seeking re-election. On Sept. 16 the BC NDP announced that Summerland Mayor Toni Boot would be their candidate in Penticton. “Well, we have 32 days, the final day for nominations I believe is two weeks from election day so this is a process that I believe everyone will engage in. I don’t think it is in anyone’s interest to spend the next 12 months arguing with each other. I think we can spend the next 32 days doing that and then have a government focussed on what they need to be focussed Continued on Page 2

Horgan blames Greens for instability in the coalition government Continued from Page 1 on and that’s people and their needs in every part of the province,” Horgan said while taking questions from the media Monday morning following the announcement of the snap election from his home riding of Langford-Juan de Fuca. Horgan said British Columbians need stability from their government heading into what is likely two more years or longer of COVID-19, shifting blame to the coalition relationship with the BC Green Party. “I want everyone to know I’ve struggled mightily with this decision and it did not come easy to me,” Horgan said. “I understand that families are concerned about their loved ones and their livelihoods. I know people are uncertain and worried about the future. I understand that full well.” However, the world is likely going to struggle with COVID-19 next fall as well, and with the repercussions for years to come, he said. “This pandemic will be with us for a year or more and that’s why I believe we need to have an election now. We can either delay that decision and create uncertainty and instability over the next 12 months, more speculation, more talk about what might be, or we can do what I always believe is always the right thing and ask British Columbians what they think,” Horgan said. “I be-

lieve the best way forward is to put the politics behind us.” Horgan blamed the departure of former BC Green leader Andrew Weaver and policy disagreements with the Green’s new leader Sonia Furstenau for instability in the coalition government, despite a tweet from Furstenau Monday declaring the opposite, calling the election “unnecessary.” “We have 12 months remaining in the mandate of this government but we have a four year project or longer ahead of us. We have had, as you know, through the summer some challenges with passing legislation. The stability I believe we had over the course of our minority government is not as strong as it was when we began,” Horgan said. With Weaver leaving politics, there is a “great divide,” in the legislature Horgan said. He later elaborated there were differences between the coalition parties on energy policy, but more importantly, Horgan said, disagreements on overdose policy when it comes to minors. “The one that was a concern to me was one to do with mental health and whether or not a medical practitioner, a doctor, could keep a minor, a child, who had been admitted with an overdose under observation for a week, that was what we were asking to do. There were people in the legislature that did not support that. And having met with parents who had lost children I was not pre-

pared to accept that,” Horgan said. “But it seemed OK to others in the legislature and I’ll leave it at that, but that was really the deciding issue for me.” Along with the former Green leader, there are roughly 14 sitting legislators retiring from politics and not running this fall, seven from the BC Liberals and seven from the BC NDP. Horgan’s dissolution of the legislature Monday comes as B.C. has the highest per-capita active cases in the country during the ongoing pandemic, responsible for 223 deaths in the province and over 960,000 worldwide. COVID-19 could enter its second wave in the fall season according to provincial health authorities. Preparations for physically distanced voting were already underway for the possibility of an election during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Elections BC. The provincial elections office is taking steps to increase advance voting methods to help reduce crowds in voting places and increasing the use of remote voting options like voting by mail or over the phone. Regular physical distancing measures will be included in polling places as well with increased cleaning and personal protective equipment, according to Elections BC. Horgan said there will be multiple new opportunities for advanced or mail-in voting and campaigns will fully comply with public health orders.

Forest March BC demonstrators rally for better forest management JOANNE LAYH A group of demonstrators gathered peacefully in downtown Peachland last Friday afternoon as part of a larger Forest March BC event taking place across the province to rally for better provincial forest management. The event was co-organized by Grand Forks flooding victim Jennifer Houghton and Taryn Skalbania, a member of the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA), who was absent from the event in Peachland in order to attend the main Forest March BC gathering at the legislature in Victoria. The PWPA attribute undrinkable water and flood conditions caused by soil erosion to the impacts of industrial activity on Peachland’s watershed. The Peachland group co-organized the Forest March BC event as a province-wide, grass-roots campaign aimed

nue where Alex Morrison, their communications chair, kicked off the rally by speak-

ing to reporters outside the visitor centre. Morrison said they are asking the province for forest legislation reform, formal involvement of frontline communities in the management of public land and the prohibition of private corporations from having any level of authority over public land. Demonstrators waved signs as they marched to Heritage Park, where they were joined by others, including Mayor Cindy Fortin, who spoke at the event. Fortin told demonstrators that earlier that morning, as part of this year’s virtual Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference, they had a very productive meeting with a ministry representative about the District of Peachland’s desire to have more authority about what happens in its watershed. “Also, we want to have a full watershed assessment.

We have come into a culture of take, take, take,” McFarlane said. “No matter what you feel you need to do next to take action, just do it. Stop procrastinating because it is tick tock time.” Cori Derickson of Westbank First Nation joined the group in Heritage Park to say a prayer and light a smudge to the four directions. Derickson said traditionally their elders used controlled burns as a means of land management in the region and lamented that recently things haven’t been taken care of properly. “We put the economy first, we put dollars first, before our environment and

Not in support of snap election Calling a provincial election, while we are in the middle of a very stubborn pandemic, millions of people still unemployed, and the realistic prospect of an immediate federal election is asking an already weary electorate the impossible, and the following letter just went out the door: Dear Premier John Horgan. While it may be tempting to try and capitalize on your perceived success fighting that nasty COVID virus, it would be violating your own legislation, having future elections fixed on the third Saturday in October of the fourth calendar year after the last election. That would make the next election Saturday, October 16, 2021. I would encourage you to comply with your own legislation, or risk losing votes as many would perceive your decision to be untimely, opportunistic, and defiant of your own legislation. It would also be prudent to consider we could be looking at a federal election later this year, an election that deserves the undivided attention of all voters, especially when we consider the unprecedented political and economic upheaval we currently are experiencing.

COMMENTARY

Back to school update: 97 per cent of students learning in class MOYRA BAXTER

CENTRAL OKANAGAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD CHAIRPERSON As you are all aware, schools did not reopen after Spring Break. Instead, over the next months we followed the direction of the Provincial and local Health Officers and gradually opened our classrooms to more students. This was time of incredible adjustments for our staff. Teachers suddenly found themselves

connecting with their students remotely, bus drivers were asked to undertake extra cleaning

duties in our buildings and we had to find ways to provide many students with devices so that they could take part in learning remotely with their fellow students. As well, many students continued to participate in food programs. Although the vast majority of students did not attend school, almost from the beginning the children of essential workers were welcomed back to school. Over the summer it became very clear that the Ministry of Education

and the Provincial Health Officer expected that schools would fully reopen after Labour Day. In order to plan for this the district acquired 21,500 disposable masks; 35,000 reusable masks; 2,120 face shields; over 50 plexiglass screens; 50 Clorox Electrostatic sprayers; 43 Victory handheld Electrostatic sprayers and various other pieces of safety equipment. The school district has always offered remote learning programs, and we were unsure how many parents would want to

enroll their students in remote learning instead of having them return to the classroom. Currently 97 per cent of our registered students are attending in-class instruction with 3 per cent attending eSchoolBC, which is Central Okanagan Public Schools remote learning program. As of September 17, 22,751 students were registered in our system, an increase of 487 over last year’s September 30, 2019 numbers. These numbers do not include international students

or alternate education students. At this time, schools are continuing to accept registrations and following up with student absences/withdrawals. A more accurate count of student enrolment will be available at the end of September. The Board of Education appreciates the hard work and dedication of every staff member in the district, and the patience, understanding and cooperation of our families and community during these challenging times.

Interior Health president and CEO says keep up the efforts

SUSAN BROWN

PRESIDENT AND CEO, INTERIOR HEALTH The past seven months reflect some of most turbulent times our country has seen, so if you are feeling anxious and confused, I understand. The COVID-19 picture today is much clearer than it was when B.C. declared its first case on Jan. 28. That solid plan we all craved then has come into place and we are entering the next phase of the pandemic armed with increased knowledge and medical expertise about

COVID-19. It is nothing short of remarkable to look back to Feb. 14 when Interior Health recorded its first case of COVID-19. Our area of the province acted, we sacrificed, we kept our hospital admissions low, and our case counts down. We have, tragically, had two deaths in the Interior Health region from COVID-19 and we know that no matter how low our numbers the impact is significant, especially for families who have lost loved ones. These losses are reason enough for all of us to continue to follow

the safety precautions every day. Our public health teams have dealt with a diverse range of COVID-19 cases and outbreaks since March. We managed B.C.’s first outbreak of COVID-19 in a group of temporary foreign workers at an agricultural business. Later, illness at a South Okanagan farm was another example of excellent work as the spread was contained to the farm itself with only four people testing positive. The same infection control measures and contact tracing went into high gear when outbreaks were declared at two long-term care sites. Swift action and teamwork resulted in only one person testing positive at each site and no residents becoming ill. Similarly, outbreaks at the Okanagan Correctional Centre were kept to low numbers. In the second outbreak, declared over on Sept. 10, no inmates became ill. Our contact tracers have worked tirelessly to reach anyone exposed to the almost 500 people in the Interior who have tested positive for COVID-19 since February. The efforts of our medical health officers, epidemiologists, environmental health, communicable disease and public health staff – all working together – are how we were able to bend the curve back in Kelowna after the July long week-

end when a cluster of cases grew from a series of parties. As CEO, I am proud of our teams, including the staff and physicians at COVID-19 testing sites, in hospitals, in the community, in long-term care, housekeeping, and assisted living facilities, in our labs, in our pharmacies and behind the scenes across all departments. But – our success to date is not something healthcare workers can do alone: we need you. In fact, we are counting on you to continue with the valiant efforts you have all shown to date. None of the achievements listed above would

have been possible without the outstanding commitment from the people who live in the Interior Health region. You stepped up. You washed your hands vigorously, you stayed close to home when you were asked not to travel, you are staying home now when you feel ill, and you have maintained appropriate physical distance from others and have chosen to wear masks as an added precaution. These measures must continue in the months ahead. Now, we’re re-starting our fall routines, including back-to-school. We are watching this important and necessary step carefully. Our public

health teams are ready to jump into action to support the school community and our children. Our medical health officers are working with school districts to answer questions from families and students and ease their fears. While COVID-19 is new, dealing with communicable diseases such as meningitis and measles in schools is not. This is the role of public health and something we do very well. We are also prepared at our testing facilities and have strengthened our IH lab capacity. More people have been trained and we’re ready to ramp up testing if required.

Little public engagement at public hearing for five-storey building JOANNE LAYH A proposed development for the properties located on 13th Street between San Clemente Avenue and Lake Avenue passed a milestone on Sept. 17, when a public hearing for the rezoning of four parcels of land across from the Gateway came and went with little interest generated from the public. The public hearing was held for the rezoning of the properties from “R-1 Single Detached Residential” to “CR-1 Mixed Use” to support the development of a five-storey mixed-use building. The public hearing was held over Zoom and webcast live on the district’s website. It was also screened live at the community centre, but no members of the public attended and subsequently no one added their name to the speaker’s list for an opportunity to join the meeting in a separate room via Zoom. However, seven members of the public submitted letters to the district. One was a general inquiry, two were in support and four letters expressed opposition. The letters submitted in support of the application noted suitability of the location for building height, support for infill development, increased customer base for businesses, increased tax

THE FOUR SUBJECT properties in question. revenue and increased housing choices. Those who wrote in opposition to the development cited concerns with building height, views, privacy, traffic, access and parking, as well as impacts on community services and amenities, increased crime and noise, and emergency planning. The proposed five-storey mixed use development is envisioned to be comprised of approximately 36 residential units above three main floor commercial units and a parking garage. The rezoning application received first and second readings from Peachland council back

in June. At that time Councillors Keith Fielding and Terry Condon both expressed concern about the proposed setbacks of the building, yet still voted in favour of the staff recommendation, along with the rest of their council colleagues. At the public hearing Darin Schaal, director of planning and development services, said setbacks are an element subject to change over the building design and development process and something council can consider and approve during the future development permit process. “There will be an opportunity for some usable space for a pub-

lic plaza. The size in this case is comparable to the Gateway site, as well,” Schaal said, adding the proposed zoning is consistent with the mixed-use land designation in Peachland’s Official Community Plan

(OCP). “The area that’s designated as mixed use is envisioned as a neighbourhood that supports higher density redevelopment and also supports commercial uses that are complimentary to adja-

cent residential uses,” Schaal said. “It’s also noted that mixed use developments support residential housing options, basically more housing diversity.” Redevelopment in the area is also expected to contribute to the vibrancy of the neighbourhood, Schaal said. “Altogether this is an application that the OCP envisions and one that’s consistent with the OCP policies,” he stated. The developer, Brian Anderson, attended the public hearing and said after they built the Gateway, they bought the land across the street in 2007 for the new building and says he is hoping to work with the community. The rezoning application is expected to return to Peachland council for third reading at an unspecified council meeting in the coming weeks.

Residents reminded to keep garbage inside until morning of pick up PEACHLAND VIEW As bears ramp up their foraging to build fat stores for winter denning, the Regional Waste Reduction Office is reminding residents to do their part to keep neighbourhoods safe by managing all things that attract wildlife around your home, including household garbage. Bears are regularly spotted in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Peachland and waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart says that means we need to be extra vigilant. “The best advice if you live in an area susceptible to wildlife is reduce your risk of conflict - take responsibility for your trash,” said Stewart. Stewart reminds residents to securely store their trash and only put garbage out the day of pickup, not the night before. “Bears in particular, but other animals as well, have a keen sense of smell. The idea is not to attract them to your garbage unnecessarily. If they have access to your waste, not only can they make a real mess, but they can become food conditioned. Then they pose a risk to you and your family, your neighbours, and themselves. And that’s totally preventable,” Stewart said. Regional waste is now into phase two of a pilot project testing fully automated bear

resistant garbage carts in select neighborhoods this fall, but it isn’t known yet how those carts stand up to bear activity or winter conditions. However, if the pilot is successful, there may be bear resistant cart options for residents by next year. Meanwhile, WildSafeBC is advising residents to: • Secure your garbage – store it in a secure location indoors or a bear-resistant enclosure. Also secure your yard waste (green) cart if it contains fruit; • Only put garbage out for collection on the morning of pickup, not the night before; • Encourage neighbours to do the same and offer to help if needed; • Consider freezing your kitchen waste until the morning of collection day; • Manage your fruit trees and pick ripe and fallen fruit immediately; • Maintain your compost so it doesn’t smell. Add fruit slowly, and no meat/dairy; and • Use birdbaths and houses to attract birds, instead of bird feeders. Residents are asked to report any human-bear conflicts to the BC Conservation Officer Service at 877 952 7277. For more information visit wildsafebc.com/species/black-bear/. For additional inquiries, visit rdco.com/recycle, email recycle@rdco.com or call the Regional Waste Reduction Office at 250 469 6250.

RCMP search continues for $7,000 wheelchair stolen from Peachland man at Headwaters PEACHLAND VIEW

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

A CARBON FIBRE wheelchair like this one was stolen.

West Kelowna RCMP continue to search for a carbon fibre wheelchair stolen from a vehicle parked at Headwaters on the evening of September 11. A Peachland man who had been fishing on Headwater main lake returned to his vehicle to find that someone had broken in and stolen an assortment of personal items, including his Cannon 7D camera and his two-piece foldable carbon fibre wheelchair. The victim, who is mobility challenged, relies on his specialty wheelchair, which is valued at $7,000. “We are appealing to whomever stole these items to do the right thing and return them,” said Staff Sergeant Duncan Dixon, commander of the West Kelowna RCMP. Anyone with any information about this crime can contact the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880 or remain completely anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 800 222 8477 or by leaving a tip online at crimestoppers.net.

Election likely to see increase in mail-in voting BILL ATWOOD

ABERDEEN PUBLISHING As British Columbians prepare for next month’s election, Chief Electoral Officer Anton Boegman expressed confidence that the vote will happen safely and effectively. “I have a high level of confidence in the electoral process we have put in place, in our field teams, and in staff at elections BC headquarters to administer a safe election,” said Boegman, speaking during a teleconference Tuesday. “I have a high degree of confidence in the guidance we have received from Dr. (Bonnie) Henry’s office, and in the approach that’s been put in place for this election,” he said. The election will likely see an increase in mailin voting. Surveys conducted over the summer indicated that between 35 and 40 per cent of British Columbians expressed an interest in voting by mail. According to Boegman, there were 20,000 requests for mail-in ballots in less than 24 hours after the election was called. Mail-in votes typically represent around one per cent of the ballots cast. Conditions surrounding the scrutiny of mailin ballots have also been relaxed, especially given the fact that many voters will receive their mail-in packages before candidate nominations close on Oct 2. In this case, voters are encouraged to write in the candidate or party of their choice. “Certainly, in a write-in ballot, there is a greater risk that the voter could put something that is not correct on that ballot,” said Boegman. “Our instructions are very clear around this. But . . . we do have a lot of ability to look at the individual marks on the ballot, and if there is, for instance, a spelling error, but it’s still clear what the voter’s intent is, then we will accept that ballot as a vote cast for that candidate. So we do have flexibility,” Boegman said. Mail-in ballots must be returned to the district office by 8 p.m. on Oct. 24. This election will also see an increase in phone voting, an option only available to the least mobile

voters in the province. This was first introduced in the 2017 election, with more than 1,000 people casting their ballots this way. “We believe it is an excellent opportunity for voters who cannot vote independently but provides us with much more flexibility in this election as a possible use in acute care hospitals. For individuals who are self-isolating, and other individuals who meet these new criteria,” Boegman said. Boegman explained that while there will be additional capacity to take votes by phone, it is yet unknown how many people will call in their vote.
