No mural festival for Peachland without a public art policy in place JOANNE LAYH The Peachland Community Connects Society’s proposal for a mural festival won’t be going ahead this year, council learned at last Tuesday’s regular council meeting.

The society came to council members last month hoping for their endorsement of the Making Waves mural project and permission to use some of the district owned

buildings as possible canvases.

Chief administrative officer Joe Mitchell recommended that should council wish to entertain a decision on public art, that a policy be implemented prior to proceeding.

He added that given their current workload, staff wouldn’t be able to complete all of the research and policy creation that would be required for a 2021 mural

festival.

However, the Tourism and Economic Development Committee (TEDC) has volunteered to complete the background research on a policy, including review of similar policies from other municipalities in the province, and council directed them to complete the research with input from the Peachland Community Arts Council.

From there, conceptual information and recommendations will be provided to staff for the actual policy creation prior to bringing it to council for endorsement, said Mitchell.

The public art policy wouldn’t just address the proposed mural festival but would establish a long-term vision for public art in Peachland and provide a clear framework.

“I’m all in favour of us developing a public art policy,

He went on to say that while he wasn’t the least bit

velopment perspective before lending wholesale support for it,” said Fielding.

Councillor Terry Condon said the presentation about the proposed Making Waves festival was efficient, effective, quite simple and quite demonstrative, but he too seemed to be in need of further convincing.

Councillor Pam Cunningham said it has to be the right mural in the right place and conceded that the choices the presenters came up with weren’t everybody’s flavour.

“Some murals can beautify buildings that are maybe not very attractive,” said Coun.

Cunningham. “I think going down the path of being a bit artsy is a huge economic driver . . . I think it all depends on how you do it.”

Councillor Mike Kent expressed general support for the idea but said it needs to be completed by reputable artists, be put in the right place and be an expression that is suitable for Peachland.

“I think this would be a major tourism draw,” said Mayor Cindy Fortin.

Compost and natural gas producing facility proposed for Brenda Mines site

JOANNE LAYH The old Brenda Mines site could soon be home to a facility that produces natural gas and high-nutrient compost, if the site’s owners, Glencore, and their partner, Brenda Renewables, are successful in their plans.

Glencore and Brenda Renewables attended last Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting to give a 30-minute virtual presentation outlining the proposed project.

In his presentation to council Glencore reclamation manager Mark Tenbrink said Brenda Renewables has been working with them on the concept for the past several years.

Glencore and Brenda Renewables are proposing to build an anaerobic digestion facility at the former open pit mine site that closed down 30 years ago.

Back in February Glencore applied to the Forests, Lands, Natural Resources Ooerations and Rural Development (FLNRORD) for Crown tenure over a five-acre section of previ-

ously disturbed land up at the site for construction of the Brenda Renewables project.

Rolfe Phillips, vice president for project development at Brenda Renewables, said they have received authorization from the Ministry of Environment for a compost operation and are currently working on an application for authorization to operate anaerobic digesters.

Phillips said they hope to begin construction in the first half of 2022 followed by phase one of the project, which will involve the operation of a class A composting facility producing approximately 5,000 tonnes per year of class A compost.

Phillips said the compost process will take two weeks in a covered aerated static pile system followed by a month or two in outdoor windrows that will be turned every week or two.

Compost from the Brenda Renewables project would be produced and used to enhance revegetation of the disturbed areas at the Brenda Mines site,

where there is an open pit, four rock piles surrounding the pit, a former plant site

“

ganic waste, yard waste, and bio-solids (material coming from a wastewater

and mill, as well as a tailings impoundment.

To do this, the system will process local municipal or-

treatment plant) to produce renewable natural gas and high-nutrient class A compost.

Tenbrink assured council “there will be no bio-solids directly applied to the mine site and all excess liquid/leachate will be trucked off site to a local wastewater treatment facility.”

Tenbrink also stated that the compost operation will be limited to the former mill and plant site.

By late 2023 they hope to move to phase two, construction and operation of a wet anaerobic digester that they project will divert about 95,000 tonnes per year of locally sourced organic waste to produce up to 10,000 tonnes a year of class A compost and up to 85,000 GJ a year of renewable natural gas that will be injected into the Fortis pipeline.

The anaerobic digestion process produces two main products: renewable natural gas and solid and liquid organic matter that contains all the nutrients found in feedstock.

The entire system is designed to ensure that there will be no odour, noise or liquid discharge emissions, according to Tenbrink.

In their presentation to council, proponents of the facility cited numerous benefits to their proposed operation, including diversion of local organic wastes from landfill, accelerated reclamation of the mine site, renewable natural gas product that will be used locally, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and acceptance of organic matter in partnership with local communities.

“I know some of the bio-solids you’re producing at the West Kelowna bank right now, those are being trucked to Alberta, a very inefficient high-cost, environmentally not very sound practice to truck bio-solids out of your region all the way to Alberta for disposal,” Phillips told council.

The group of presenters also said if the project goes ahead trucks would only use the Connector, not Princeton Ave., and the catchment area for collecting organic waste could extend from Oliver to Merritt.

The project is expected to produce five or six jobs.

Impressed with vaccination process

I was impressed. On May 10 I received my first COVID-19 vaccination at West Kelowna’s Lions Hall.

I was impressed at how efficient and comprehensive the process was even though there were many people in attendance to get vaccinated.

Congratulations to all that make this process work so well.

Steve Burke, West Kelowna

Murals ought to be classy, not tacky The April 23 Peachland View shows the Sunnyside Market with a bright mural at the top of this building. The caption asks if we would enjoy seeing murals like this in our downtown area. I certainly would not! The word “tacky” immediately comes to mind.

Across from the Blind Angler is a beautiful mural that is real, tells a story, and is very well done. I love it!

Bright, abstract, 60s stoner art has no place in our historic little town. Let’s just keep it classy, okay?

Al Bykowsky, Peachland

Community job well done - congratulations

At the end of a hard day’s work, the outstanding participation of scores of people from numerous support groups earned hearty congratulations for a job well done. Tons of debris and scrap were retrieved from our watershed.

The achievement was matched by the reality of the need to prevent future accumulation. cameras, surveillance or penalties appear to fall short of success, and are a poor substitute for proper waste disposal systems to prevent future dumping.

It is not so long ago that Peachland’s residents tried hard to prevent the closing of its local yard waste facility and to restore the land fill dump. Various alternatives to closing were unacceptable so a good public service was replaced by user pay access to the West Kelowna landfill facility.

The district council of the time promised to continue the search for available space suitable for the restoration of the facilities.

I haven’t heard a word about it since.

Illegal dumping continues PET OF THE WEEK Penticton SPCA

JOANNE LAYH It was great to see so many Peachlanders attend at the clean up day of the Peachland Princeton back country. It is becoming increasingly clear that there are many folks that use the environment but really do not care much about it.

Many of the dump sites contained concrete and construction materials.

My request to Peachlanders that hire “jobbers”, for lack of another word, is to ask them to provide a receipt for the westside transfer station for the construction debris that they take away from your property. Because many of these guys are just dumping it in the hills.

Also, it has to be said, when did the old mill site opposite the closed compost site become an official shooting range? If you sportsmen want to use it, why don’t you clean up your targets, garbage, and your shells? And losing live ammunition is really inexcusable. There are literally thousands of spent cartridges there. Do you not care?

Lloyd Stinson Sotas, Peachland

Are you a friend of Peachland’s bats?

The directors of BEEPS (Bat Education and Ecological Protection Society) would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to everyone who has supported us in a variety of ways. As with so many other organizations, we have had to modify, reduce and/or cancel some of our activities, events and programs due to COVID restrictions.

We are hoping that this era of COVID is soon coming to an end and we as a community can resume our lives in a somewhat normal way.

We would also like to thank all the volunteers that have helped us through this challenging year…we could not have done it did without you.

BEEPS is evolving, and therefore we have many opportunities available. If you, or someone you know, has some extra time, and are looking for meaningful ways to make a difference as a volunteer or a director on our board, we would love to hear from you at peachlandbats@gmail.com.

We wish everyone good health and hope to see you soon.

Heidi Slyngbom, Peachland

Last Saturday 78 volunteers from across the Okanagan along with BC Conservation Officer Service, GFL Waste, Tolko, and ACE Recycling, collected 8.3 tonnes of scrap metal and filled a 40 cubic yard dumpster with junk collected in Peachland’s watershed.

Among the items collected were two camper vans, a grow op and a rotting moose carcass laid out on a tarp.

“It may sound like a lot of trash was collected, but sadly volunteers located more dumped vehicles and garbage than the containers could hold,” said Alex Morrison, a spokesperson for the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA).

The annual community cleanup was organized by the PWPA, the Okanagan Forest Task Force, Greata Creek Camp, and the District of Peachland to address the continual problem of illegal dumping.

PWPA director Jack Gerow says a community cleanup is not the best solution, but for now it’s all the Peachland has available to protect the watershed.
