Heidi Slyngbom, Dagmar White, and Darlene Hartford (shown left to right) were among many Peachlanders who couldn’t pass up an opportunity to get dressed up for a very enjoyable Classic English Cream Tea on the patio at the Peachland Little Schoolhouse last Sunday. The tea event was extremely well supported and while some drop in visitors were accommodated, reservations for these events are highly recommended.

CANADA VOTES The Peachland View asked the three candidates running for the Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola riding in the federal election the following question: “Our deficit is close to $1 trillion. How are we going to solve this problem without burdening our businesses more?” Below are their responses.

Dan Albas, Conservative Party

Sarah Eves, Liberal Party

Joan Phillip, New Democratic Party

That is the key – how to do this without burdening business (or taxpayers for that matter) as we depend on businesses of all sizes to employ our youth and help families put food on the table.

Obviously, we need to increase revenues by growing our economy, but this is a simplistic answer.

In order to grow our economy, we need to look at barriers that stand in the way. Right now, one of the greatest barriers is a lack of competitiveness.

I will give an example of this. Recently the Liberals announced a ten-day paid sick day plan that will be paid for by employers. While that sounds like an idea that some would support, we need to study the fiscal impacts, intended and unintended consequences of new policies.

Let’s look at B.C. based Tolko Forest Industries for a moment. While Tolko closes lumber mills in places like Merritt and Kelowna they are opening and investing in new Lumber Mills in US states such as Mississippi and Louisiana.

That means we are losing well-paying jobs and all levels of government lose various forms of tax revenue. All of this is to the benefit of US States that are the homes to these new lumber mills.

Keep in mind in these states Tolko (as an employer) would not be paying for the costs of these extra sick days that drive up the costs of doing business.

Another example is Bombardier. After Canadian taxpayers subsidized the development of the “C-Series” jet it will now be built at a plant in Alabama.

As we move more oil by rail instead of by pipeline the order by CN for more locomotives will see those locomotives built in Texas and not Canada.

In my view we must be more competitive. While I have no doubt all of the political parties will agree on the need to grow our economy only the Conservative platform recognizes that we must identify the barriers that stand in the way and create a more fair and competitive environment where Canadian business can and will succeed.

Supporting Canadians during the pandemic was vitally important. The Liberal government’s programs protected employees who lost their jobs, renters who faced eviction, and small businesses which were closed or struggling.

To support Canadians, the government had to incur debt. To tackle that debt a Liberal government will stimulate the economy. Programs such as creating more daycare spaces at $10/day will allow women to return to work or enter the workforce for the first time.

Up to $8 billion will be invested to support projects reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We will reduce, by 50 per cent, the general corporate and small business taxes that manufacture zero-emission technologies until 2029, with smaller reductions until 2032.

We will invest in infrastructure, creating jobs. We will continue to support our hardest hit sectors such as tourism with temporary wage and rent programs, and with the Canada Recovery Hiring Program.

Those businesses will be able to continue to do what they do best. Rather than burden our businesses, these initiatives will help Canadian businesses seize new opportunities.

Liberals know that believing in Canadians, and investing in them, works. The Bank of Canada predicts our economy will grow 6 per cent this year, and 4.5 per cent in 2022. The alternative, austerity and cutting programs, is not an option.

Dear constituents, Our deficit has grown every year under the Liberal and previous conservative government, placing the responsibility to finance the deficit on every day Canadian families and small businesses. Utilizing tax heavens and fancy loopholes, big corporations and the ultra rich continue to not pay their fair share. In 2017, the Toronto Star investigated this and found that the largest 100 corporations in Canada avoided a whopping $62.9 billion worth of taxes between 2011 and 2016, and this trend continues.

In the 1950s, corporations shared the tax burden with individuals at almost a 50/50 spilt. Under both liberal and/ or conservative governments the gap widened whereby in 1985 the individuals share increased to 79 per cent with corporations only contributing 21 per cent. Under the leadership of Trudeau big oil and gas have been given $18 billion in subsidies in this year alone. This must stop. These companies are rich enough without our public dollars subsidizing their operations and executive bonuses.

To get things back on track and begin reducing the deficit, we must have the big corporations and the top 1 per cent wealthy contribute their fair share of the tax burden. A 1 per cent increase to the top 1 per cent would generate $70 million. In addition, the subsidies being given to big oil and gas could be rediverted into the clean energy sector and at the same time generate good paying jobs for those displaced by the oil and gas industry. This would also begin to address the climate crisis we are all facing by reducing our carbon footprint. Lower and middle-class Canadians are shouldering a disproportionate tax burden and that needs to change. We deserve better and better is possible with an NDP government.

Mount Law wildfire still out of control JOANNE LAYH The Mount Law wildfire that was discovered on Aug. 15 remains about 800 hectares in size and classified out of control.

At press time on Wednesday, 85 firefight-

Candidates throw hats in ring JAKE COURTEPATTE And they’re off.

With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calling Sunday for a federal election in an expected move, the riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola will once again be up for grabs, though the incumbent has held a stronghold on the seat for years.

Conservative Dan Albas has come out on top to represent the riding for the past three elections. He has held the seat since the riding was created in 2015, and before that had been the head of the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding since 2011, the current riding’s predecessor.

In the 2019 election, the most recent, Albas claimed an enormous victory with

31,135 votes, close to double that of the Liberal candidate Marry Ann Murphy, the next closest vote-getter.

Third in the election was Joan Phillip representing the New Democratic Party.

She will once again be donning the orange for the NDP in the upcoming election.

Phillips is no stranger to the world of politics: she has previously served three terms as a Council member for the Penticton Indian Band.

The newcomer in the upcoming election is Liberal candidate Sarah Eves, who lives in Merritt and teaches in Logan Lake.

As for any candidate hoping to represent the Green Party and the People’s Party of Canada, those positions are yet to be filled.

The federal election has been set for Sept. 20.

Resident says defund govts If you think that the water treatment plant is over budget, wait until you see the bill (if I live long enough) from the Site C dam. I’m told 80 per cent management 20 per cent work-ers. You may also want to keep an eye on the new hospital in Surrey. It is forecasted at $1.8 billion - just remember this number. I put my money on $3 billion. We must defund our governments.

Mandatory proof of vaccination coming to British Columbia JAKE COURTEPATTE In an unprecedented move in the Province, British Columbians will soon have to show proof of vaccination in order to access a broad range of events and businesses.

Premier John Horgan, in his first public appearance in weeks, joined Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Minister of Health Dr. Adrian Dix to make the announcement on the afternoon of Aug. 23.

Dr. Henry issued the news as a Provincial Health Order.

“Getting vaccinated is the way forward during this pandemic,” said Premier Horgan.

“Vaccines are our ticket to putting this pandemic behind us. So I call on all eligible unvaccinated British Columbians to roll up their sleeves to stop the spread, and help protect themselves, their loved ones and the people in their community.”

British Columbia has one of the highest rates of vaccination in Canada at around 75 per cent of all eligible persons being double vaccinated. Despite these strong numbers, B.C.

has fallen behind the national average as of late in terms of new cases of COVID-19.

As of Sept. 13, those with one dose of vaccine will be eligible to get the vaccine card, which may be needed to access certain spaces like indoor ticketed sporting events, indoor and patio dining in restaurants, fitness centres, casinos and indoor organized events, like conferences and weddings.

By Oct. 24, two doses will be required in order to satisfy the proof of vaccination requirement.

The Government of B.C. card will be provided and publicized before the Sept. 13 date for residents to access their proof of vaccination. From there, residents will be able to save a copy of their proof onto their cell phone, and show it when entering or using designated spaces and events.

Those that cannot access their proof online will be provided with an alternative option.

British Columbia was scheduled to move to Step 4 of the reopening plan on Sept. 7, however, it has now been confirmed that there is no timeline for the process.

Splash pad opening in Heritage Park now delayed until spring JOANNE LAYH New washroom facilities for the splash pad arrived in Heritage Park on Wednesday morning, and once fully installed, the washrooms will be wheelchair accessible.

The bad news: it is now looking less and less likely that the splash pad will be completed for use this summer.

forward and as soon as it’s feasible to do so we will, but

I have to say for the first time since May, I’m not feeling very optimistic about this.”

The project was originally targeted to be completed on Canada Day but unforeseen issues with BC Hydro have resulted in delays.

“I still have no word from Hydro, so at this point I’m saying that everything will be open next spring,” Wiebe told the View on Wednesday.

Wiebe also noted that the local contractor for the project was not to blame for any of the delays.

“Superior Excavating, as a local Peachland business, has gone above and beyond in accommodating this project, being flexible on site,

and being flexible with the change in schedule. It’s an unbelievable company,” said Wiebe.

“This project was supposed to have been done and delivered on July 1. They were delayed when our work site was shut down because of Hydro, so they had to pull out and stop. Then they came back and now they’re delayed again until Hydro can come back on site and connect everything, so they’re doing the very best they can in the environment that we’re working in.”

Upcoming works that are expected to continue into September include curbing, paving, and landscaping.

FOR SENIORS Women’s guide to menopause Menopause is a natural occurrence in a woman’s life.

Menopause occurs 12 months after a woman’s last period. It marks the end of the reproductive years and the cessation of menstruation.

Many women mistakenly believe that the years leading up to the end of their periods is menopause. In fact, this time of potential hot flashes and changes in their monthly cycles is a transitional period known as perimenopause.

The National Institute on Aging says menopause can take place between ages 45 and 55. Perimenopause may occur several years before that.

Signs the transitional years are beginning Irregular menstruation is one of the first indications that a woman’s body is changing. Periods may come at different times or be shorter or last longer. Some women bleed more or less than usual. Women should consult their gynecologists if their periods last more than a week or if bleeding is especially heavy.

Kettle Valley Denture Clinic Ltd. Complete Dentures partial Dentures immeDiate Dentures implant Dentures relines ~ repairs

Hot flashes could occur The NIA says many women experience hot flashes in both perimenopause and menopause. Hot flashes are believed to be related to changing estrogen levels. The sudden feeling of heat in the upper part or all of the body is often accompanied by flushing of the face and neck. When they occur at night, hot flashes are called night sweats.

Mood changes/sleep issues Fluctuating hormones can cause other changes in the body. It’s common for women in perimenopause to experience mood changes. However, mood also may be affected by disruptions to sleep that can occur at this time. Women can speak to their doctors about remedies that can help with mood and sleep issues.

Additional changes Since hormones are responsible for many operations in the female body, additional changes are possible at this point in a woman’s life. Thinning hair and dry

skin may occur. Many women also complain of vaginal dryness. Loss of breast fullness might be evident.

Furthermore, weight gain and slowed metabolism are possible.

The Mayo Clinic says women may still experience pregnancy in midlife despite irregular periods. This can be a confusing time for women, as they may not be sure if they’re pregnant or if they’ve started the menopause transition.

After a woman experiences menopause and enters post-menopause, she is more vulnerable to heart disease and osteoporosis. Women should continue to see their doctors for routine health visits and screenings.

Menopause is often accompanied by various side effects. Women can speak with their physicians if they have any questions or concerns during this unique time in their lives.

Dennis was born to Frank and Gladys Marshall on June 22, 1931, in St. Walburg, Saskatchewan. He passed away peacefully on August 11, 2021, at Lake Country Lodge at the age of 90.

He attended school in Kitscoty, AB then west of Edson, AB at Moose Lodge School until grade 9.

He finished high school at the Red Brick School in Edson. Dennis married the love of his life and best friend, Lillian Pearce, on April 19, 1952. They were blessed with four children: Brenda, Chris, Frank, and Bruce. Dennis and his family lived in Jasper, AB; Edmonton, AB; High Level, AB; and Yellowknife, NWT. Once they were “empty-nesters” Dennis and Lil lived in Slave Lake, AB; Stoney Plain, AB; Lethbridge, AB; Inuvik, NWT; then finally retired to Peachland, BC; and later downsized to West Bank, BC.

Dennis is survived by his wife of 69 years, Lillian; daughter Chris (Syd); son Frank (Wendy); son Bruce; his grandchildren David (Erin), Christine, Jennifer (Richard), Andrea (Scott), Erin (Colin), Brent (Kara), and Kathyrn (Alex). He was also blessed with 11 great-grandchildren: Emma, Ryley, Lily, Hannah, Eva, Illy, Brantley, Jack, Will, Kate, and Zach. Dennis is also survived by his younger brother Rex (Karin); and many nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends.

He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Gladys, as well as brothers and sisters-in-law Dale (Beth), Paul (Corinne), Dean (Pearl), and Bob. Also, in 2014, Dennis was grieved by the loss of his oldest daughter, Brenda.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a later date due to Covid protocols.

The family of Dennis Marshall would like to thank all the staff of Lake Country Lodge for their exceptional love, kindness, and compassionate care during his stay and end of life.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.

crews continued to conduct planned hand ignitions along the Connector in the southwest corner of the fire.

The planned hand ignitions are targeting burn small pockets of fuel between the fire and the guard around all areas of the fire.

For several days one westbound lane on Hwy 97C remained closed to traffic for the safety of crews and motorists.

BC Wildfire cautioned that while the threat has eased through much of the fire with mild weather conditions, it is still uncontained in areas.

Thanks to cooler temperatures and a bit of rain that helped reduce fire activity on the north end of the Mt Law wildfire, several West Kelowna addresses were downgraded from evacuation order to alert on Monday, however 4713 MacKinnon Rd and 3250 Hwy 97 remain on evacuation order.

Last week crews established fire guards on the north, east and west sides of the fire and over the weekend fire efforts were focused on the south and southwest perimeter of the fire.

Planned ignitions slated for last Friday night did not proceed due to unfavourable conditions, but on Saturday BC Wildfire carried out planned ignitions on the south end of Preston and Carre Roads in West Kelowna as well as the southwest corner of Drought Hill between the Mt Law fire perimeter and Hwy 97C. Planned ignitions continued throughout the week, including on the south and north sides of the wildfire and from Wednesday crews were targeting the Drought Creek and Law Creek vicinity of the fire. Residents in Peachland saw highly visible flames and smoke as the fire approached the Connector.

An area restriction was implemented for public safety reasons and continues to remain in place. The public is asked to maintain a safe distance from the fire and all fire suppression activity.

The cause of this fire is suspected to be human-caused and will be under investigation.
