Members of the Summerland Steam Jr. B hockey team were in Peachland Wednesday morning to help set up the community skating rinks located at the Peachland Riding Club. Once it’s cold enough there will be a larger rink suitable for hockey and a smaller rink for younger kids. Summerland Steam players pitched in to set up the boards and netting and make sure the poly is level so people can enjoy an even skating surface once the rinks are flooded, which will happen as soon as temperatures are consistently below zero.

Merritt RCMP investigate collision that claims man’s life JAKE COURTEPATTE

ABERDEEN PUBLISHING An investigation is underway into a fatal collision that occurred between Merritt and West Kelowna on Saturday.

At approximately 7:20p.m. on Nov. 14, a single vehicle rolled over along the Okanagan Connector, prompting response from both Merritt RCMP and BC Emergency Health Services.

Emergency responders headed to the area near Sunset Main Road, finding a white Dodge Ram pickup truck that had veered off of the highway, striking a large sign and rolling down an embankment.

The vehicle, which had four occupants, sustained heavy damage and came to final rest on its roof approximately 30 feet down an embankment, states Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, RCMP Southeast District. Despite the efforts of passers-by first responders were needed to extricate two individuals from the heavily damaged vehicle.

One of the occupants was pronounced dead at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service is currently investigating the collision.

At this time, poor weather and road conditions are being attributed to the crash. It is not yet known if speed was a factor in the fatal crash.

If you witnessed this crash and have not yet spoken to police you are asked to call the Merritt RCMP at 250-378-4262.

JOANNE LAYH Limited community space has led to some ruffled feathers between various community groups all hoping to make use of the community centre next summer.

use of the community centre banquet room to the Bat Educational, Ecological and Protection Society (BEEPS) for the display of a travelling exhibit, Bats: Out of the Darkness from June - October 2021.

However, since then concerns expressed by some community groups that will be displaced because of the exhibit led Mayor Cindy Fortin to request the item be brought back to council for reconsideration at their Nov. 10 meeting.

Based on scheduled rentals or historical bookings, the exhibit being placed in the banquet room would impact the quilt group, Lions Club, Friendship Club and Rattlesnake Island Swim.

Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services, said it is likely that, with the exception of the Quilt Guild, most groups can be accommodated in the main room.

“The quilters already struggle with power capacity for sewing machines at the community centre therefore staff do not think that 4th Street Place will be a suitable alternative and cancellation

of other main room activities to accommodate the quilters creates further impacts,” Wiebe said in her report to council.

Following last month’s council decision, the Peachland Lions Club expressed concerns about their access to the banquet room being cancelled during the exhibit next summer.

Since then, the club has confirmed that an alternative space such as the main room, would be a suitable location to them, Wiebe told council.

“Staff’s recommendation [to allow BEEPS to use the community centre] remains the same,” said Wiebe. “Regardless of whether or not portions of the display can be housed at the visitor centre, BEEPS still requires a secondary location and that secondary location ideally is in the community centre because of its proximity to the historic school and the bat display, particularly if portions of the Bats: Out of the Darkness display are at the art gallery,” Wiebe said.

“I made a mistake,” Mayor Fortin said. “I did not have all the information. I was un-

der the impression that these longstanding groups in the community had been consulted prior to us making this decision.”

Fortin said the letters of outrage she received were pretty meaningful.

“I completely understand where they’re coming from,” Fortin said. “It’s just a kick in the head to tell them they have to go elsewhere.”

Councillors Condon and Fielding expressed agreement with Fortin’s remarks.

“Certainly the feedback I’ve been getting is groups that would be displaced are feeling that they were not consulted properly about this and they’re not happy with the alternative arrangements that are being proposed,” said Councillor Keith Fielding. “Previously I was under the impression that it was not going to be a major issue for them, but clearly it is.”

Council passed a resolution to direct staff and the mayor to get together with BEEPS and the arts council to work out a suitable arrangement to display the exhibit in the historic school building.

Canada needs a truly proportional ballot Dear editor, This is in the mail to all federal NDP MPs: Dear Member of Parliament.

Working with the Liberals to replace our dysfunctional and unfair electoral system with a truly proportional ballot will demonstrate to Canadians that the two parties have the savvy and courage to do the right thing.

Both parties will also gain a lot of credibility globally, as truly democratic institutions.

We do not need more assemblies.

The all-party national survey spearheaded by former NDP MP Nathan Cullen has already established what the people want and need.

The heart of any proportional electoral system is that it keeps the party vote completely separate and independent from the candidate vote, as if voters have two ballots, one ballot for the party, and another ballot for the candidate.

All we need to do now is to determine which proportional system to use and that can be done by conducting a national plebiscite, presenting the people with three or four of the more popular proportional systems that are in use, and then ask the people to rank them.

The other and equally important issue to consider, is to ban coalitions for the purpose of forming majority governments.

Germany and Israel have both used coalitions to form (fake)-majority governments, to the obvious detriment of those people: Without that coalition Merkel would not have been able to open the German borders for a million migrants/refugees/immigrants, against the will of the people, and Israel’s Nathan Netanyaho would’ve been obliged to form a minority government after the first election, instead of insisting on not one, but two more elections, ending up forming a coalition government with the main opposition party, creating the biggest political mess ever in Israel.

There are a number of different proportional systems in use around the world. Most are multi-member systems that usually elects a member from each of the two main parties in each electoral district, providing balance and stability.

Having lived in a country for more than 20 years where they have had proportional style of government for decades there is little doubt PR is the most fair and inclusive system, that best would represent our multi-cultural society, and then adopt it in time to be used in the next election, which should be around October 2023.

Residents remember at impromptu outdoor ceremony held at the cenotaph

Noel Wilson stands with hand on his brother’s 2020 memorial cross.

PHOTOS RICHARD SMITH

First and foremost we must thank all those who serve in the Canadian Forces and in particular those who gave their lives and are honoured on our cenotaph.

Thank you to the lone piper who gracefully held together the impromptu outdoor ceremony, and the Legion members who added dignity to the event by surrounding the monument.

The sun came out on this fine fall day and almost as if on cue, a low flight of local aircraft in formation flew by.

Thank you very much for that.

Finally, thank you to the crowd that spaced themselves so carefully from Heritage Park to the Rotary clock.

Lest we forget.

Virtual Gala promises “dynamite” entertainment lineup

FOR SENIORS CBD oil and arthritis Health-conscious consumers have no doubt encountered advertisements for CBD oil at some point in recent memory. Supplement stores, pharmacies and even gyms may promote CBD oil, prompting consumers to wonder just what CBD is and how it may or may not play a role in the treatment of certain conditions, including arthritis.

According to the Arthritis Foundation®, two kinds of the cannabis sativa plant, hemp and marijuana, produce cannabinoids, which Harvard Medical School notes is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis. People unfamiliar with cannabidiol, or CBD, a type of cannabinoid, may assume it gets users high like marijuana. However, CBD doesn’t get users high, as another cannabinoid, a psychoactive part of the marijuana plant known as THC, is responsible for that effect.

Advocates for CBD often note its potential to alleviate pain associated with arthritis. While animal studies have supported those claims, the Arthritis Foundation notes that such studies do not always translate to humans. In addition, the Arthritis Foundation notes that, thus far, human studies examining the potential efficacy of CBD in treating arthritis pain have produced mixed results, and the Harvard Medical School notes that more studies are necessary to determine the potential of CBD in treating pain, including that caused by arthritis.

Laws also vary regarding the legality of CBD, though many places allow some form of CBD. Consumers should first consult with their physicians regarding their conditions and whether or not CBD might help them.

the world in a variety of music genres from country to rock.

Edwards will be performing twice during the gala event – he’ll perform solo with backing tracks, as well as with his live band, The Revival.

With The Revival, Edwards will be joined by singer/songwriter/keyboardist Betty Anne Northup and guitarist and fellow Peachland resident Craig Brown.

“Craig is truly one of Canada’s premiere fingerstyle guitar players. I’m so thrilled to be working with him,” Edwards told the View. “He’s a consummate professional. He’s a multi-instrumentalist. He can play a trumpet, he can play bass, he can play drums, guitar and he also sings.”

In addition to his own recordings, Brown is also a sought-after session musician and producer for a wide variety of recording projects.

When Northup isn’t performing with The Revival, she’s fronting another band, singing in musical theatre, or coaching singers, actors and songwriters from her private recording studio here in the Okanagan.

The gala will also include a performance by West Kelowna’s Niki Martinus, a strong vocalist who does different takes on more modern material, as well as Kelowna’s Sister Act. “This is a dynamite lineup of talent for this event,” Edwards said.

“People are going to love it.”

The Virtual Gala takes place on Friday, Dec. 4 and begins at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $25 per person are available at www.trellis.org/ light-up-virtual-gala.

The Peachland Recovery Task Force’s Light-up Virtual Gala is only a couple weeks away and organizers are hoping residents who haven’t already purchased tickets will do so soon.

Funds raised at this event will support the Peachland Boys and Girls Club, Peachland Wellness Centre, the Bat Education and Ecological Protection Society (BEEPS), and the Peachland Sportsman’s Association. If people are still on the fence about buying tickets, organizers are hoping the entertainment lineup might help convince residents to help support these local community groups.

Christina MacMaster is on the task force’s entertainment committee and is encouraging residents to check out the event’s silent auction items now on display at the Peachland Art Gallery.

“It’s not just a case of musical entertainment. There’s going to be some interaction with the silent auction,” MacMaster said. “The other thing is the dinner piece of it. When you order your tickets online you also will be able to order a meal.”

Meals will be available for pick up from a variety of local restaurants and for those who can’t collect their dinner, there will be some volunteers to deliver.

The event will be emceed by Toby Tannas and Loyal Wooldridge and will feature entertainment by Elvis tribute artist Adam Fitzpatrick, Marty Edwards & The Revival, Niki Martinus, Marty Edwards, Santa and Mrs. Claus and Sister Act. Peachland resident Marty Edwards has performed around

BEEPS and Peachland’s bat colony help researchers understand white nose syndrome DARLENE HARTFORD BEEPS

International Bat Week in October saw more than 80 children and 50 adults walk the Interpretive Bat Trail in Peachland, while 150 visitors viewed the Bat Friendly Garden and Light Exhibit in Peachland Historic School.

BEEPS also had the opportunity of making important contributions to two Canadian universities during International Bat Week.

Peachland is highly regarded as a Bat Friendly Community and was recommended to MacPherson University in Toronto in their search for bat guano required for their research on white nose syndrome (WNS). WNS is a cold surviving fungus that affects hibernating bats and is non transferable to humans. The fungus has killed billions of bats in the eastern United States and Canada, devastating the agricultural industry, due to the loss of this insectivore species. Bats are valued as a natural regulator in pest control and provide a savings of millions of dollars in invasive pest management in North America.

Five kilograms of guano collected from the schoolhouse attic by the Peachland Fire Brigade was shipped to Professor Jianping Xu, Associate Chair of the Department of Biology at MacPherson University, for ongoing research on WNS. Regionally, WNS was detected near Seattle, Washington in 2018. BEEPS has since been on alert, monitoring the annual return of hibernating bats to Peachland Historic School. Springtime bat counts and collection of the first droppings of guano from the returning bats are two reportable measures valuable in the mitigation of WNS in Canada. At this time, it’s inevitable the fungus will reach the western Canadian provinces, making research at MacPherson University vital to all hibernating bats and our agricultural sectors across the country.

Closer to home, Roy Jantzen, an instructor at Capilano University in Vancouver, reached out to BEEPS on the recommendation of Dr. Cori Lausen, a Research Biologist and Bat Specialist with the Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, who resides in Kaslo, B.C. Jantzen travelled to Peachland during Bat Week to research the bat colony inhabiting Peachland Historic School, as a subject for his upcoming book. Janzen teaches courses with an environmental focus in the Bachelor of Tourism Management and Outdoor Recreation. His first book, Active Vancouver: A Year-round Guide to Outdoor Recreation in the City’s

Roy Jantzen is a professor at Capilano University in the Faculty of Tourism and Outdoor Recreation. He enjoys year-round outdoor recreation in the Vancouver area with his wife and two sons. Jantzen is doing research in the South Okanagan for his second book, Wildlife Viewing Trips, within a long weekend drive from Metro Vancouver, which will include 25 unique wildlife viewing sites. He was recently in Peachland interviewing BEEPS representatives.

Natural Environments (2015), encourages readers to form a more profound understanding of the natural world around them, while enjoying recreation in locations around Vancouver.

“The second book project will focus mainly on Southern B.C., guiding the reader to view wildlife in a respectful and

considerate manner, while helping them understand ways to minimize their ecological footprint and to engage more deeply by taking action,” Jantzen says. “The book will cover approximately 25 unique wildlife viewing sites, covering an array of species, including mammals, birds, aquatic life, insects, reptiles and amphibians. Detailed interpretive descriptions of specific species, current research insights and additional natural historical content, are planned for each”.

While in Peachland, Jantzen met via zoom with retired teachers from Peachland Primary School, seeking bat stories from days past when the schoolhouse functioned as a public school. Craig Radford, Willie Findlater and Susan Boyd shared amusing anecdotes with Jantzen, while enjoying a mini-reunion with colleagues. Jantzen also participated in a night trail walk on the Bat House Interpretive Trail with 18 Pathfinders and parents, facilitated by BEEPS directors, Rachel Truant and Randi Evans. The following morning a repeat of the trail walk, accompanied by a group of home school children at the primary grade level, shed a different light on the trail and the modification of presentation to a younger age group. Viewing of the live-feed and pre-recorded footage from cameras in the attic, as well as, a review of BEEPS’ educational programs and the Bats Out of the Darkness exhibit, provided intriguing information for his next book.

“Another objective of the second project is to include a Case Study Compendium for Higher Education providing post secondary students with a means to engage in deeper learning about the balance between wildlife viewing and other competing uses,” said Jantzen. “It will also give students the opportunity to experiment with ideas about a wide array of issues, such as wildlife connections to industry, tourism, urban planning, culture, community engagement, research and education”.

One of the more northern points of Jantzen’s research will include following the migratory route of the white pelicans to Tranquille Wildlife Protected area near Kamloops.

The pelicans are often viewed on Okanagan Lake in Peachland while they stopover during their migration through the B.C. interior, in spring/summer. The mature pelicans, which can stand five feet high and have a wingspan of up to nine feet across, return to the southern US for winter.

Subject matter from a more southern location will include snakes at Nk’Mip in Osoyoos.

Jantzen hopes his second book, showcasing wildlife viewing trips within a long weekend commute from Metro Vancouver, will be available on bookshelves in 2022.

Staff member tests positive for COVID-19 at Penticton long-term care home DALE BOYD

ABERDEEN PUBLISHING Interior Health has declared a COVID-19 outbreak at The Village by the Station longterm care home in Penticton following a public health investigation.

One staff member has tested positive for COVID-19, Interior Health (IH) reported in a statement Sunday.

No residents are experiencing symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19 at this time and IH says it will continue to monitor the situation, while implementing additional infection control and preventive measures.

“To protect the safety of all residents, outbreak protocols have been implemented in

the affected units including a temporary pause in visits,” the statement reads. “IH public health is directly contacting anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19 to ensure they are also taking appropriate precautions (self-isolation or monitoring) as required.”

IH says long-term care staff are only working at one care home (as per the provincial single site order), and are monitoring all residents for respiratory symptoms and conducting COVID-19 testing on anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, as well as implementing enhanced cleaning protocols and COVID-19 visitor policies.

To date, no long-term care residents have tested positive for COVID-19 at any homes in IH. The Village by the Station is privately owned and operated with 100 publicly funded long-term care beds.

The province is extending last year’s rent freeze until July 10, 2021, which has some landlords in B.C. raising concerns.

The freeze was originally put in place in March and was set to expire on Dec. 1 until the provincial government announced the extension on Nov. 9.

The newly elected NDP government called the freeze an “interim measure to provide stability and advance notice for renters while a new cabinet is sworn in.”

“Increases set to happen on Dec. 1, 2020, are cancelled, along with all pending increases through to July,” reads a statement from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

After the freeze ends the maximum limit at which rent can increase is 1.4 per cent.

Landlords must also give three months notice before increasing rent.

“Extending the rent increase freeze is good news for renters in B.C. Given the disproportionate financial impact that COVID-19 has had on renters in the province, exempting them from further rent increases is a positive step,” said Robert Patterson, a lawyer for Tenant Resource and Advisory Centre.

However, this is a small step that doesn’t go far enough according to Patterson.

“We are hopeful that the government, having received a stronger mandate in the recent election, will take further steps to protect the housing and health of renters as we enter a challenging new chapter of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Patterson said.

There are a number of things the NDP government should do to protect renters, Patterson said, including reinstating the moratorium on evictions, reinstating a tenant’s right to restrict access to their homes and considering other measures such as rent forgiveness and direct financial support.

“That can both get tenants out from these crushing debt loads and also help small landlords who are in

financial hardship themselves because their tenants could not afford to pay rent,” Patterson said of financial assistance for tenants.

Landlord B.C., an advocacy group for landlords, expressed a number of concerns about the extension of the rent freeze in a statement.

“Our sector is on a negative financial trajectory and we need support for rental property owners. While not insensitive to the challenges many renters have faced during the pandemic, the reality is that our sector has also been challenged with significant disruptions, risks and costs as a result of the pandemic,” the statement says.

“In the absence of rent increases for existing tenancies to better cover cost inflation like taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, etc., our financial challenges will be further exacerbated and threaten our ability to ensure British Columbians have continued access to safe, secure, sustainable rental housing.”

The freeze also includes a mandate for landlords to develop a repayment plan for any unpaid rent or utilities from the period of March 18 to Aug. 17 of 2020.

Landlords are prevented from evicting tenants for any missed payments during this period as long tenants make the payments under the repayment agreement.

The repayment plan must follow several guidelines including having the payments be in equal instalments with each payment to be paid on the same date that rent is due under the tenancy agreement.

The date the first instalment is due must also be at least 30 days after the date the repayment plan is given by the landlord to the tenant.

She has a tiny bit of ‘torti-tude’ (she thinks it’s daunting, we think it’s endearing), and makes friends with everyone she meets. She has a cute little habit, she loves to suckle and knead her blanket when she is settling down for a nap after playing. Prissy’s litter was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. While Prissy does not show any symptoms, she should still be observed for any Sponsored by: conditions that may arise.
