Elderly couple remove bags of soil and plants from Dragon Lotus JOANNE LAYH The owner of Peachland’s Chinese food restaurant Dragon Lotus says for the second time this year someone has stolen their plants. Dragon Lotus owner Sam Vong posted surveillance footage on the restaurant’s Facebook page that shows a couple who appear to be taking plants and soil from the property. The incident happened just after 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 22. Vong decided to take a humorous approach to the situation when he posted video footage of the incident online: “Got an older couple hungry for Chinese food however we were not open so they opted out on taking our plants and bags of soil. If you know these latenight Chinese Food Cravings Citizens tell them we are open at 4 p.m. not four in morning.” Vong says after reviewing the footage, he estimates the couple are in their late 60s or 70s. “They took the whole pot and everything, so I know there are seeds in them, which they’re probably going to grow next year for themselves,” said Vong. “This is not the first time. This is the second time, actually, but I don’t think it’s the same couple. They just love our plants, I don’t know. I guess we know how to grow our plants.” The couple in the surveillance footage posted today are shown in what appears to be a white car, while Vong says the first couple, who helped themselves

Community asked to ‘remember in place’ on November 11 JOANNE LAYH Remembrance Day will look a little different across the country this year due to COVID-19. In some communities, events have been cancelled but in Peachland the ceremony will go on, although attendance will be restricted to only 50 people.
In any ordinary year, the community centre is packed on Remembrance Day, but this is no ordinary year. Due to the pandemic, this year the Legion is asking residents to “remember in place” rather than come down to the community centre. “It is still important
for all of us to remember this important day. Many of us would attend Remembrance Day Services at the community centre, however this year due to COVID-19 there can only be 50 people in attendance,” said Jean Saul, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 69 president. During the service the

Legion will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands with a Candlelight Tribute. As per usual, donations for wreaths are being accepted at the Legion, however, this year all wreaths are required to be in place prior to the start of the ceremony on Remembrance Day. “Groups and individuals cannot participate in a wreath laying ceremony as we have done in the past,” lamented Saul. “This year has presented many challenges to the Legion,” said Saul. “However, it is important to remember the sacrifices that our brave service personnel made then and continue to do so now. That is why this year we are asking everyone to ‘remember in place’, wear a poppy and remember.” Other aspects of Remembrance Day will go on, albeit with a few minor adjustments as well. Last Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Saul was scheduled to present the first poppy to Mayor Cindy Fortin at the Cenotaph in keeping
with local tradition. On the following day, Friday, Oct. 30, poppy trays will be distributed throughout the community for residents to purchase

BC Liberal Dan Ashton re-elected for third term in Penticton riding JOANNE LAYH BC Liberal incumbent Dan Ashton is the projected winner of the Penticton riding with 49.78 per cent of the vote following the initial vote count on Saturday. Ashton is followed by BC NDP candidate Toni Boot with 35.26 per cent, BC Green Party candidate Ted Shumaker with 11.92 per cent and Libertarian Keith MacIntyre with 3.04 per cent. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots were cast during this election, which could significantly impact the results in some ridings. The final vote count results including mail-in ballots isn’t expected to be available until
well into November. “I’m honoured to serve again, however, it’s not over and it won’t be over until all the mail in ballots and those people that mailed their ballots in are counted. They deserve to have their votes counted, so I’m just waiting with bated breath until all the mail in ballots are counted,” Ashton told the View. Ashton says he doesn’t believe an NDP majority will get in the way of his ability to work with others to get things done. “I’m very confident. I have a track record and a history and I show consistently that I’m able to work with everybody and that’s always been the secret to my success,” Ashton said. “I get along
with everybody in the house. That’s how you get things done. You don’t accomplish stuff by clashing. . . wheth-
er it’s with the past minority government or with staff, I work with people to come to a solution that’s best for ev-
erybody.” Ashton believes people are fed up with partisan politics. “I believe in good governance and that’s what I practice. Whether I was a councillor of the city, at the regional district, the mayor or now an MLA, I do my best to practice good governance, which includes everybody, not the partisanship,” Ashton said. “The proof is in the pudding. I’ve done it so far.” Ashton says he is firmly convinced BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson’s decision to step down on Monday was based on what he felt is best for the people of British Columbia. “In my opinion he made his decision which was based
on what was best for the people of British Columbia and that’s everybody, not just him. For everybody in B.C.,” Ashton said. This will be Ashton’s third term as MLA in the Penticton riding. The former Penticton mayor has maintained relatively high popularity since he was first elected in 2013 with 45.83 per cent of votes and re-elected in 2017 with 53.55 per cent of votes. Prior to that, in the 2009 B.C. general election Bill Barisoff won the Penticton riding for the Liberals with 43.96 per cent of votes. The Penticton riding encompasses Naramata, Penticton, Summerland and Peachland.

Peachland Seniors Housing: Phase Two Survey This edition of the Peachland View contains a printed survey designed to help the Peachland Seniors Support Society (PSSS) understand more about the local demand for seniors housing and the types of support services that would be of most value to prospective tenants. “The demand for an apartment in the Residences on 6th building has confirmed our understanding that there is a pressing need for affordable seniors housing in our community,” said PSSS president, Susan McNeill. “Subject to funding being available, our Phase Two project will address this need and may target those who are having difficulty living independently without access to some support services.” Seniors, or those helping one, are asked to complete the confidential survey, in the next two weeks, and return it to one of the drop boxes at either the Peachland Pharmacy, or the Residences on 6th. Alternatively the survey can be completed online at: https://bit.ly/3nR0f0r. The society thanks, in advance, all those helping with this important research. Peachland Seniors Support Society
Citizen questions if premier-elect will walk the talk Dear Editor: Thanks to Premier-elect John Horgan for saying he intends to “bridge the urban-rural divide,” and will be “guided by strong ideas, not politics.” Can B.C. walk this talk? As a problem-solving forester I have always been distressed by the unnecessary political conflict between old growth conservation and maintaining forest worker jobs. The origins of this conflict are in the forest management system itself. Decades ago, far-sighted US forester Aldo Leopold said, “When land does well for the owner, and the owners do well by their land (gender neutral), when both end up better by reason of their partnership, we have conservation. When one or the other does poorer, we do not.”
Our forestry world changed forever when COVID-19 arrived, and will continue to change, as the global climate warms. All forest planning assumptions about stability and predictability of outputs are no longer valid. To serve the common good, B.C. must adopt a future focussed mindset. New skills will be required to: • Strive for a wise outcome, amicably reached, supported by knowledge and with respect; • Focus on interests, not positions; • Insist on objective criteria; • Grow more value and volume of high quality wood annually than what is logged; and • Invent options for mutual gain. The best decision makers have foresight. Ray Travers RFP (Ret.), Victoria

Resident has concerns about legacy we are leaving grandchildren On Oct. 22 noon I glanced out at Trepanier Creek, my backyard, to check on spawning salmon. This has been my regular routine for the past several weeks. Since living here for the past five summers I was so excited to see that the numbers of spawning salmon are greater than ever. Maybe salmon do have a chance after all. Much to my dismay I saw nothing but silt. The creek had been completely inundated. I knew that further down construction near the creek was in progress. This is progress? I am saddened by our governments on all levels. I did speak to a town representative and he assured me there was an environment representative on site. I was impressed that he came down to assess the situation and tried to reassure me, but what about the eggs that are now covered in silt? Is it any surprise that salmon are declining? The eggs of spawning salmon only have a three per cent chance of survival. That’s under the best conditions. Everywhere I look our governments are putting progress (money) before anything else. We are so busy fixing all our past mistakes, our watershed for example, that restoration is never a priority. I am deeply saddened by the legacy we are leaving our grandchildren. Val MacGillivray, Peachland

Is the first past the post system destructive, divisive and undemocratic? Another election, producing another fake-majority majority government most of the people do not want, and conducted a year before it was mandated by law. It’s called parliamentary democracy, produced by our colonial electoral system, and the party or coalition with the greatest number of elected members form the government, usually representing only a minority of the people. That is very different from the true democratic governments they have in Scandinavian and European countries, where the political power is vested and exercised by the people directly or indirectly through the elected members of government. The colonial system continues to produce results that border the bizarre, north and south of the Canada-US border, while truly democratic systems are more fair and inclusive, promoting productivity and long-term stability. While voting is a democratic function, it does not make a county a democracy. The people vote in elections in Cuba, Venezuela, and Russia, but none of those countries are by any measure democratic. There is more than one good reason for getting rid of this destructive and un-democratic FPTP electoral system beginning with the bal-
lot that makes voting extremely challenging and unfair, because voters are forced to choose between party or candidate. While the US and Canada both are using the same colonial system, there are some very significant differences between how it is being administered in the two countries. The US has had a two-party system for a long time, while Canada has become a very dysfunctional multi-party system, that continues to erode any semblance of democracy. In the US the senators are elected, and many of them are long-term career politicians with a wealth of political experience, well prepared to give ‘sober second thought’ to any and all legislation proposed by the representatives. In Canada the senators are randomly appointed by the incumbent government, and many of them have very little if any political experience. Not only are they poorly qualified to vote, it’s also tempting to suggest that not being elected by the people, they should not be able to vote on any proposed legislation as the people never gave them a mandate to make decisions on their behalf. Trump’s incessant and unprofessional tirades on Twitter, regularly ridiculing people
and calling soldiers suckers and losers, has put a dark cloud over the office of the presidency of the United States. Trudeau will be remembered as having lied about giving the people a proportional ballot, the SNC Lavalin corruption, millions given to the Aga Khan, the WE scandal that is being unravelled, and billions of dollars spent and committed to fight that COVID-19 virus, without applying caution and due diligence. Redacting documents that should be readily available to all elected Members, using taxpayers hard earned money to finance their elections, proroguing Parliament instead of

answering questions, buying and building massive multi billion-dollar infrastructures like pipelines, dams, and LNG plants without public input and debate is not acceptable.

Early snow storm leaves over 1,700 without power, damages trees JOANNE LAYH
PHOTO JOANNE LAYH
An early snowstorm last Friday brought down many tree branches around Peachland, including these in Heritage Park.
Between Peachland and Summerland over 1,700 BC Hydro customers were without power for over six hours after a low pressure system moving southeast brought snow into the southern interior last Friday, and with that early snow came fallen trees and branches on power lines. The low pressure system prompted Environment Canada to issue a snowfall warning of up to 15 cm for the Central Okanagan. Power went out at 10:50 a.m. for 1,698 BC Hydro customers west of Highway 97, in addition to some customers on Princeton Avenue and McGregor Road. BC Hydro was inundated throughout the day with numerous snowfall related fallen trees and branches in the area, but by 3 p.m. crews arrived on site and had power restored to the area by 5:30 p.m. “During these early storms in winter, especially when the leaves are on the trees, it does create problems with tree branches and trees coming down with the weight of the wet snow, said Jen Walker-Larsen, BC Hydro community relations manager. In Peachland, numerous tree branches came down with the weight of the snow, and the district was still busy assessing the damage days later. “There are lots of branches on the ground still and between staff and contractors, we are assessing trees and removing hazard branches hung up in the trees,” said Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services.
Vandalism to Art Chairs in Heritage Park triggers council to debate surveillance cameras JOANNE LAYH The recent vandalism of a trio of Art Chairs donated to the community by organizers of the Lake Country ArtWalk prompted council to request a report from staff this week on the procedure for installing surveillance. Peachland’s vandalism rates overall are fairly low: the four-year average vandalism cost to the district is $341.50 a year for parks, and $323.25 for facilities for a total of $664.75 per year. In his report to council, chief administrative officer Joe Mitchell said any installation would need to be in compliance with the policy that was put in place back when a video surveillance was set up in the fitness room of the rec centre. As well, actions by the municipality must be in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) and any cameras that are installed in a public area must also be approved by council, Mitchell said. According to Mitchell, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada states, “Video surveillance should only be deployed to address a real, pressing and
substantial problem and that video surveillance should be viewed as an exceptional step only to be taken in the absence of a less privacy-invasive alternative.” An initial quote estimated the following costs: • Initial network hardware costs -$2,000; • Cost per camera - $2,000; and • Installation - $2,000-5,000. “There are a few challenges involved with installation of surveillance in Heritage Park. The first challenge is the lack of lighting in the park for clear camera focus. The surveillance equipment does work in the dark, but does not always provide a clear focus in low light,” Mitchell stated in his report. “This is also coupled with the likeliness that those performing the vandalism are often dressed with face coverings or hoodies making facial recognition difficult.” Councillor Patrick Van Minsel suggested that the municipality should concentrate its efforts on Highway 97 entrances to Beach Avenue at the Blind Angler and 13th Street. “If you have cameras there and something happens at 2 a.m., we can easily see who came into our town between 1:30 and two,” Van Minsel said. “We should not only look at Heritage Park, we should also look
at other spots in town. Otherwise it’s not efficient enough. If we do this it needs to be efficient.” Councillor Keith Fielding said he would like to see surveillance included in upcoming budget discussions, along with information about volunteer costs, such as renovating the mural, as well as theft of private property. “Any surveillance in a public space needs to be justifiable and a last resort,” Councillor Mike Kent said, adding that money would be better spent on prevention measures. “Whether or not there is a cost benefit, there is a security satisfaction benefit to come from this,” Councillor Terry Condon said. “We have to consider this and find a mechanism that allows us to give our residents a bit more sense of security in the downtown area.” “I think we need 100 per cent to install cameras,” Councillor Pam Cunningham said. “What can we do if the police are not there as often as we’d like? We can’t police it ourselves. There has to be something to try to protect our assets.”
Mayor Cindy Fortin says she also is all for it. “I just want to assure the public that we’re not watching them. That’s not the purpose of this. It’s actually to protect them and to protect property,” Mayor Fortin said. “I want to be clear here that we’re talking the cost for one camera alone is more than triple the four-year average for vandalism to all our facilities,” Coun. Kent said. “We’re looking at a nuclear option as far as privacy goes to address a very minimal cost, so I do not see any justification whatsoever for pursuing this course of action.” Councillor Keith Fielding argued that attitudes to privacy have really changed over the past few years and in the balance of individual privacy and the overall benefit to the community that it weighs in favour of the community rather than individual privacy rights. Council voted in favour of a resolution to bring surveillance to upcoming budget discussions. Only Coun. Kent voted against the resolution.

Accessible plaza society hopes to be rolling ahead soon with donations and grants
RENDERING: PEACHLAND HISTORIC SCHOOL ACCESSIBLE PLAZA SOCIETY
A rendering presented to council earlier this year shows the building and sidewalk unchanged, but between the sidewalk and the building there would be a terraced area and an elevated plaza that can be accessed from a sloped ramp.
JOANNE LAYH The Peachland Historic School Accessible Plaza project has started to attract community support and donor interest, Peachland council learned last Tuesday. The Peachland Historic School Accessible Plaza Society hopes to modify the front of the historic schoolhouse to
make it more welcoming and accessible for mobility challenged individuals as well as create a plaza area in the front of the building that would serve as an inviting community hub. A key part of the project is making the building more accessible to visitors. There is an elevator on the car park side of the building, but in order for a person to use it someone

inside the building must hear and respond to a bell and then meet the visitor at the elevator. When the individual is ready to leave,
they must again ask for assistance. Back in August, Ted Cave made a presentation on behalf of the society about the project, which received unanimous initial council support. Since then the society has joined forces with the Peachland Community Arts Council, Peachland Lions Club, Peachland Rotary Club and others for the community initiated project. The project has also generated interest from members of the community in making donations provided that official tax receipts can be issued by the district, Councillor Keith Fielding, also secretary for the PHSAPS, advised. Last Tuesday night Lyle Smith, Peachland’s director of finance, came to council to present a request for early budget approval of a $350,000 Peachland Historic School Accessible Plaza Project Fund (PHSAP) to be ad-

ministered by the finance department. The fund will have no direct financial impact on the district but will give the municipality authority to accept donations, provide tax receipts for eligible donations, and incur expenditures on behalf of the PHSAP Fund, Smith told Peachland council. “In order to establish the fund, revenue and expense budgets need to be included in the district’s 2020 budget,” Smith said in his report to council. “Budget approval is necessary so that the PHSAPS can commence their projects,

Peachland council unanimously supported the grant application.
