District of Peachland now in stage two watering restrictions JOANNE LAYH The District of Peachland is now in stage two watering restrictions, effective Tuesday evening.

That means residents are restricted to outdoor watering just twice a week, with even-numbered addresses permitted to water on Saturday and Tuesday and odd-numbered addresses on Sunday and Wednesday.

On Wednesday a Facebook post by the District of Peachland noted that hand-held watering devices, micro-irrigation and drip-irrigation systems are not restricted at this stage and nurseries, farms, orchards and vineyards are exempt from the restrictions.

Ordinarily throughout the year stage one watering restrictions are in effect in Peachland, which requires properties with even numbered addresses to water on even calendar days and odd numbered addresses on odd calendar days, allowing for watering for three to four

“

days during the week.

However, reduced upland reservoir levels, an increased load on the water treatment plant and drought levels in the region prompted staff to bring forward the recommendation to implement stage two watering restrictions, director of operations Shawn Grundy said in his report to council.

The upland drought levels are about a metre lower than what they typically are at this time of year, which amounts to approximately a 10 per cent decrease in volume.

With the exceptionally dry spring the Okanagan has experienced, the majority of other municipalities around the valley are currently at stage one. The exceptions are the RDCO and the District of Summerland, who have both moved to stage two, said Grundy.

With the new water treatment plant in place, production of treated water is a far more complicated and expensive process than it was in the past,

Where do we go to get recycled?

Grundy told council.

“Previously, the water was

simply treated with chlorine gas and allowed to flow via gravity into the distribution system. It is now clarified through coagulant injection, filtered, treated with UV light, chlorinated and finally pumped into the system,” said Grundy.

The plant is currently running at approximately 83 per cent of the rated capacity but

July and August, council was told.

They were also reminded that a portion of the Trepanier system has still not yet been brought online.

Grundy said once the Trepanier system is connected through the interconnect project, potentially that level could increase to as high as 95 per cent.

“Any decrease in demand will reduce the amount of treatment and maintenance required at the plant,” said Grundy.

He was also quick to point out that the percentages quoted are during maximum daily demand, not overall.

“It probably seems a lot worse than what it is. We’re capable of putting 290 metres per second through that plant at any instantaneous time, so we’re getting close to that level. That said, even when we are close to that level, we have a brand new reservoir above there to take up those peaks that are happening . . . The main load we get on the plant is in the middle of the night when everybody kicks their irrigation on. It’s not during the day when folks are going to the washroom or having drinks.

It’s typically irrigating grass,” said Grundy.

Council unanimously approved the staff recommendation at their regular meeting on Tuesday night. Grundy also introduced the possibility of making stage two water restrictions automatically kick in annually at a set date, just as the regional district does each year between June 16 and September 15.

“I personally have no objection with accepting that request from Shawn. It makes it easier, we know every year between that and that date we go to stage two . . . I think it’s a no brainer to do this because we will always have some drought in our summer season,” said Councillor Patrick Van Minsel.

Councillor Mike Kent said

he prefers not implementing water restrictions unless there is a necessary reason to do so.

“It might be administratively more simple or convenient for us to have an arbitrary date set, however that comes at the inconvenience of our residents that may want to water and would probably have some legitimate gripes if watering restrictions were implemented based on a date and not conditions,” said Coun. Kent.

“I can’t get excited whether or not we have a fixed date,” said Councillor Terry Condon, who added if it is administratively simpler to do that then he would support the idea.

“I don’t know whether we should have a specific date because every year the weather can be different, but I don’t know why we don’t just give Shawn the authority to implement stage two when he needs to,” said Councillor Pam Cunningham.

That decision would require a bylaw amendment, which would not be difficult, staff noted.

Mayor Cindy Fortin said she prefers set dates so the public can get familiar with it and also noted the district champions water conservation and the Make Water Work campaign.

Staff were asked to bring back a recommendation before the end of the year.

Public Notice

Stage 2 Water Restrictions Are In Effect The Director of Operations gives notice that, in accordance with Council resolution, a reduction in water use is necessary requiring Stage 2 Outdoor Water Use Restrictions as per Bylaw #1688, 2003 effective immediately.

Parks regulation bylaw stands, Peachland council unanimously decide JOANNE LAYH Peachland council were presented with the difficult decision of what to do with shrines and memorials that contravene the town’s parks regulation bylaw.

“This one’s a challenging one,” said community services director Cheryl Wiebe.

“The last time it really appeared before council was back in 2016 when we reviewed the parks regulation bylaw, particularly how it pertains to flowers on memorial benches.”

At that time council provided one exception for flowers allowed to be placed on the Ashlee Hyatt memorial bench.

“Since that time we have had more flowers pop up on benches. My last count was three and we’ve also had some pop up memorials happen and decor in trees,” said Wiebe.

On June 14 the mayor and staff received a complaint about “growing vandalism, defacement and graffiti along Beach Ave.” Upon investigation, staff discovered three benches with flowers, a tree decorated with wooden ornaments, a shrine and painted rocks on the beach.

On June 15 staff removed the ornaments from the tree and shrine and removed the painted rocks.

Since that time the municipality received a complaint from the creators of the memorial, who stated that the area was being used as a memorial for a prom-

inent Peachlander who has passed, in addition to rocks painted for the 215 children found in graves at the Kamloops Residential School.

The parks bylaw was explained to the complainant and since that time, more painted rocks have appeared on the beach, Wiebe wrote in her report to council.

Due to the sensitive nature of the memorial, district staff came before council last Tuesday to ask if they would like to change the parks regulation bylaw to provide latitude for shrines or art in parks or if they would prefer staff to continue to enforce the bylaw.

“If people come to us in advance and talk to us about creating a memorial, perhaps we can create parameters. But when we have pop up memorials on our beaches, some people love them and some people don’t,” said Wiebe.

Councillor Keith Fielding said his preference is to leave the bylaw as it is and to respond to complaints as part of the municipality’s bylaw enforcement process.

“I think if we think about amending the bylaw it’s going to be a very slippery slope and personally I don’t really want to see our beachfront or public areas turned into shrines of some kind,” said Coun. Fielding.

“Maybe there is a need for some organized way of allowing people to express their condolences and their concerns in some other fashion but I personally

PHOTO DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND

don’t think that it’s a good idea to try to do anything with our bylaw that might encourage or suggest that it’s okay to do this kind of thing.”

Councillors Terry Condon, Patrick Van Minsel, Pam Cunningham and Mike Kent each agreed they should leave the bylaw alone.

“Let’s not open a can of worms,” said Coun. Cunningham.

“If they would have come to you, maybe we could have done something bigger as a community in a temporary time frame that maybe everybody wanted to be involved in this.”

“I feel much the same way. I’m wondering though, what’s the difference be-

tween a tree shrine with painted rocks to express their sorrow over the discovery of the children’s remains as compared to having shoes all set out and other things in front of the historic school,” said Mayor

Cindy Fortin. “Because the bylaw would be both, would it not?”

Wiebe said one of the things staff try to do is have compassion and understanding when something like that has happened and

made a distinction between a temporary expression and a long term exhibition.

“I think the shoe shrine was an example of something that happened in the moment and you very respectfully took the shoes up to Kamloops and left them there,” responded Wiebe.

“But at some point in time if you had not done that, staff probably would have cleaned it up. Typically we say seven days if we look at a bench and someone has had a birthday or an anniversary or passing, we won’t touch the flowers on the bench. We’ll allow them to stay in place for a small period of time.”

This particular rock garden has been perpetually growing over the last year, said Wiebe, who added that staff will reach out to the creators to see if there is a temporary expression they could do somewhere else that could call attention to the collective grief that Peachlanders feel for a certain cause rather than a personal expression of grief.

Rotary campaign to help Lytton evacuees The Rotary Club of Peachland is very concerned about the losses suffered by the people of Lytton in the recent devasting fire and wants to help. The need is urgent!

At their regular Thursday meeting, the members voted unanimously to send financial help immediately. $500 of club funds has already been sent. The Kamloops Aurora Rotary Club is coordinating Rotary assistance for Lytton evacuees. Gift certificates for the purchase of clothing and other needed items will be issued directly by Rotary to eligible evacuated families.

In the next week or two individual members of our Rotary club will be adding their personal financial contributions to that already made from club funds.

We have received many inquiries from residents of Peachland asking how they can help. Our club has established a special account at VantageOne Credit Union in the IGA Peachland mall where donations can be made. It is also possible to make donations directly to the Rotary Club by mailing donations to: Rotary Club of Peachland, PO. Box 1185, Peachland B.C., V0H 1X0.

Cheques should be made payable to “The Rotary Club of Peachland” and marked “Lytton Fire Relief”. This campaign will run from now until the end of July.

In advance, we would like to thank the people of Peachland for their expressed concern, financial contributions and continued support.

FOR SENIORS What seniors should know about herbal medicines A lifelong commitment to healthy living can improve life expectancy and quality of life while reducing a person’s risk for various conditions and diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

Healthy lifestyle choices like eating a nutritious diet and exercising regularly can greatly reduce a person’s risk for various ailments, but such choices don’t eliminate that risk entirely. As a result, even health-conscious men and women may need to rely on medication to stay healthy. That’s especially true for seniors since age is a risk factor for various conditions.

A 2014 analysis that appeared in the Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics examined nearly 1,300 published articles that focused on the use of herbal supplements by elderly patients. Though only 16 of those articles met the researchers’ criteria, the analysis concluded that herbal supplement usage is common among elderly patients, as was a lack of dialogue about such supplements between medical professionals and seniors. A concerted effort to initiate such dialogue on the part of both patients and health care providers can help shed light on herbal medicines so people taking them, including seniors, can learn more about what they’re putting into their bodies.

What are herbal medicines?

The National Health Service of the United Kingdom, a widely respected and publicly funded health care system, describes herbal medicines as those with active ingredients made from plant parts like leaves, roots or flowers. Because herbal medicines are made from plant parts, many people assume they’re safe to take without consulting a physician. However, the NHS urges people to treat herbal medicines with the same care and respect as they would more conventional medicines. Herbal medicines can affect the body in various ways. A frank discussion with a physician can shed light on the potential side effects of herbal medicines and whether or not they’re safe.

Why should seniors be concerned about herbal medicines?

The NHS notes that seniors taking other medications may experience problems if they begin taking herbal medicines as well. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, which is part of the U.S. Depart-

ment of Health and Human Services, notes that more well-designed studies are necessary to fully evaluate interactions between herbal medicines and prescription drugs.

However, the NCCIH notes that some evidence points to some harmful effects of mixing the two. For example, the NCCIH reports that prolonged exposure to concentrated garlic extracts may reduce the efficacy of some drugs. The potential for these types of interactions should be enough to compel seniors to think twice before taking herbal medicines without first consulting their physicians. In addition,

NEWS | COMMUNITY

Richard Smith and Lloyd Sotas to entertain at Hainle Winery on Saturday PEACHLAND VIEW Local historian Richard Smith and guitarist Lloyd Sotas are set to provide an afternoon of entertainment at Hainle Winery on Saturday afternoon.

Sotas will begin playing at 1:30 p.m. and is scheduled to

stay until 3:30 p.m. or longer.

“I play a combination of acoustic Canadiana, the blues and some classic songs,” said Sotas.

“Wine has almost always been on our dinner table and I have been a home winemaker since 1987. We have a little half acre vineyard up in the Peachland hills and this year is

turning into a great growing season for our merlot grapes.

Guitars and grapes go well together.”

While Sotas takes a break from playing, Richard Smith will discuss his artwork for the latest series of wines, which depict historic Peachland scenery. He’ll also be available to answer questions about Peachland’s history.

Another heat warning issued for the Central Okanagan JOANNE LAYH On Monday Environment Canada issued another heat warning for the Central Okanagan, including Peachland.

A ridge of high pressure building over B.C. will

result in a period of elevated temperatures through Wednesday, said Environment Canada.

Daytime highs reached over 35 degrees Celsius combined with overnight lows near 17 degrees Celsius.

Interior Health warned

PET OF THE WEEK Kelowna SPCA

ADOPT ME

Name: Rue ID: 526765

that as heat continues to build in the Interior, temperatures will increase the potential for heat-related illnesses and are historically associated with an increase in deaths among residents.

Interior Health medical health officers advise that risks from extreme heat exceed risks from COVID-19.

Therefore, during heat warnings: • Anyone without access to air conditioning should find cooler indoor alternatives in order to avoid prolonged heat exposure; • Cooling centres will be coordinated by municipalities and no one should be denied access to these centres because of concerns related to crowding or physi-

cal distancing; and • If people are wearing a mask and have difficulty breathing, they should remove the mask, whether they are indoors or outside, as wearing a mask may impact thermal regulation during heat events.

The District of Peachland did not reactivate their cooling centre as the nighttime lows were projected to be between 15-17 degrees Celsius.

“The district will monitor the weather forecast to determine if the cooling centres should open,” recreation coordinator Ben Stringer told the View on Monday.

“Currently, the Peachland Community Centre is open to the public from 7 a.m. -

4 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Anyone looking to escape the heat is welcome to cool off in the lobby. There is air conditioning, seating, and access to drinking water.”

Anyone can suffer from heat-related illness, but some people are at greater risk.

Residents are advised to take extra care to check on the following people regularly: • Infants and young children, who rely on adults to monitor their environments and to provide them with enough fluid to drink; • People who are under-housed with fewer options to avoid prolonged heat exposure; • People 65 years or older, or anyone who needs assistance monitoring their

wellbeing; • People with heart problems and breathing difficulties; and • People who exercise or who work outside or in a hot environment.

Symptoms to watch for include pale, cool, moist skin; heavy sweating; muscle cramps; rash; swelling, especially hands and feet; fatigue and weakness; light headedness and/or fainting;headache; and nausea and/or vomiting.

More severe symptoms – including high fever, hallucinations, seizures and unconsciousness – require urgent medical attention.

Call 911, move to a cool place, and cool the person with water and fanning.

She loves to play with toys and is quite entertaining! Rue is looking for a patient, quiet family that will match her softSPONSORED BY: spoken purrsonality.
