Break-ins at Peachland United Church, Bargain Bin and St. Margaret’s JOANNE LAYH The Peachland United Church has been robbed twice in the span of just one week, once on the same night that St. Margaret’s Anglican Church was also

hit.

The first incident is believed to have occurred sometime between the afternoon of Sunday, June 12 and 9 a.m. the following Tuesday morning, when someone entered the United

hall and took the church’s $60 float.

Church volunteers noticed some things amiss in the hall that made them suspicious and later it was discovered that the money was missing.

Then volunteers arrived at the Bargain Bin last Friday morning to find that the handle to the thrift shop door had been jimmied and pulled apart, and they were unable to insert a key into the lock, Bargain Bin chair-

person Janet Drinnan told the View.

“The RCMP was called and when they got here they found out that the person couldn’t get the door undone. It’s a very heavy metal door, but they did go up and they did get into the sanctuary. Only the door was damaged. They didn’t damage the inside of the sanctuary, but they did take our brand new computer.”

It is assumed the intruder was looking for cash as several drawers showed signs of being opened.

“Why would you try and do a B&E on a thrift shop?

There’s not that much money,” said Drinnan. “Why would you steal from a church? We’re not big business here. People are disappointed and maybe even shocked.”

As a result of the breakins, the Peachland United Church and the Bargain Bin have amended their procedures and will no longer have cash on site outside of operating hours.

“There will be no more cash on the premises, period,” said Drinnan.

Despite the troubling incidents, the Bargain Bin remained open while repairs were underway.

“We just keep smiling and try to make accommodations,” Drinnan said.

Across the street at St. Margaret’s Anglican Church, someone forcibly entered several of their doors the same evening.

One door was so badly damaged that the entire door will need to be replaced and a computer was stolen from the church office, said warden Donna Kusch.

“Luckily they didn’t go after any of the things that we would think would be valuable like chalices and that kind of thing. The police told me they’re not after candlesticks or anything like that. They’re after just electronics,” said Kusch, who noted that the RCMP response was highly commendable.

“I can’t say enough good things about the West Kelowna detachment,” said Kusch. “We’ve had them out for other various things and they’re wonderful.”

Town to ask taxpayers to approve $17.5 million for protective services building JOANNE LAYH Last week the District of Peachland held its first public engagement session for the proposed new protective services building.

At their information session, the town laid out why the fire department needs a new building and what it is expected to cost taxpayers if they agree to borrowing, a question that will be put to them in the form of a referendum on Oct. 15.

The total cost of the building is estimated at approximately $20 million. The town is pursuing grant opportunities to offset some of the cost, but this fall they will be looking for voter approval to borrow $17.5 million.

The maximum estimated cost per household is $401 annually in the form of a parcel tax, which would be $34 per month for 30 years, at an assumed rate of 4.3 per cent.

That estimate is based on the current number of properties within the district so costs will decrease with an increase of households and develop-

ment.

“The plan is to phase in the project, so the parcel tax would be phased in,” said director of finance Garry Filafilo. “It won’t be an immediate hit.”

Filafilo also noted that about $200 in parcel taxes will be removed soon, including a sewer main force parcel tax that’s been in place since 1998 and set to expire in 2023.

“That means effectively there would only be a $200 increase in parcel tax,” said Filafilo.

Currently the fire department is located on 3rd St but the plan is to construct a new building in the more centralized lot the district owns at San Clemente Ave and 13th St. The municipality says improved community safety is the number one reason for relocating the fire department to a larger, more centralized location.

Relocating next to the highway would improve emergency response times as currently paid-on-call firefighters must travel through

traffic-calmed Beach Ave to get to the fire hall and once they’ve found a parking spot nearby and they’re there, fire trucks must also leave through Beach Ave, where the speed limit is just 30 km/h.

The new building would be located away from Beach Ave and is designed to have on-site parking for firefighters, which would contribute to improved response times.

“Being by the highway, our response times would improve by probably two to three minutes, which is significant. That would be a huge improvement to the safety of our citizens,” said fire chief Dennis Craig.

The fire department’s current building, Station 21, is about 60 years old and was never designed to be a fire hall. Originally it housed the public works department and later morphed into a fire station.

“There are a lot of code violations in this building,” Craig told the View. “As you can tell right now, when the trucks are in here we have no exit out of the building. Even though

there are these great big bay doors, these bay doors don’t count as emergency exits. You need a man door that opens and closes. All of our man doors are blocked by trucks.”

The fire hall is so small that the last time they bought a truck it had to be customized to fit and it barely squeezes in and out.

The new building design has larger apparatus bays that will allow for “a more functional response to emergencies.”

As the community gets more four-storey walk up buildings, the town is eventually going to need an aerial ladder, said Craig.

“Currently we have an agreement to use West Kelowna’s aerial, but eventually we’re going to need our own aerial. Fire underwriters are going to mandate it and we physically can’t put an aerial in this building.”

The new location for the fire department is being called a protective services

building rather than a fire hall because it isn’t yet determined if BC Emergency Health Services will be invited to join the fire department in the new building.

The municipality is in discussions with BC Emergency Health Services, which is operated by the province, but a decision about whether or not to include them in the building will be deferred until after the referendum, when the town will have a clearer idea of the budget they have to work with.

“This has been in the making for a long time, and now is the time to do it,” said Mayor Cindy Fortin. “It’s not going to get any cheaper, let’s put it that way.”

The referendum will be held at the same time as the civic election, with opportunities to vote by mail in advance or at your local polling station.

A second public engagement session will take place prior to the referendum.

More publishers need a fair deal

During the 2021 federal election campaign, several political parties made commitments to introduce news remuneration legislation.

Why is such legislation needed?

First, the need for strong, independent local news has never been higher – it keeps communities connected and informed on issues that are impacting them directly. Covering city hall, provincial and territorial legislatures, our courts, and holding parliamentarians to account is vital to our democracy. We asked Pollara, a leading research firm, to put a question to Canadians.

90 per cent of respondents said they believe it’s important that local media outlets survive. And for those outlets to survive, they must be commercially viable.

Second, there is a significant imbalance of power between tech giants and Canadian news outlets. To put this in perspective, the market capitalization of Google is about $2.3 trillion; Meta is over half a trillion. Together, that’s larger than the GDP of Canada, Brazil, Italy, or

India. On a combined basis, these companies take of online ad revenues stands at more than 80 per cent. And the pandemic has only worsened the situation.

Third, with the prospect of Canadian legislation, Google and Meta negotiated content licensing agreements with a dozen or so news publishers, including large players like the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star. These publishers should be getting compensated for their content. But we now have a situation of haves and have nots among Canada’s news publishers with Google and Meta picking winners and losers. And that’s not fair – especially to many smaller publishers who have been left out in the cold.

In April Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage, introduced bill C-18, the Online News Act. According to that same Pollara survey, 80 per cent of Canadians support parliament passing a law that would let smaller outlets negotiate collectively with the web giants.

Our organizations represent hundreds of trusted news

titles in every province and territory, support this legislation for three reasons.

First, it allows us publishers to come together and negotiate collectively.

Currently, the Competition Act bars us from forming a collective. Given the overwhelming power imbalance, we will be in a stronger bargaining position if we stand together.

Second, it includes an enforcement mechanism.

Baseball-style final offer arbitration ensures that parties put their best offer forward and the arbitrator picks one or the other. The hammer of arbitration incents both sides to reach a fair settlement on their own.

Third, similar legislation in Australia is working.

According to Rod Sims, the former chair of the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, the amounts paid to news organizations were over $200 million. More important than how much is who reached content licensing agreements. Country Press Australia, an affiliation of 160 smaller regional news-

papers, was able to reach settlements with Google and Meta. More recently, a group of 24 small Australian publishers reached a deal with Google. We believe that Google, to their credit, has signed a content licensing agreement with every eligible Australian publisher.

Bill Grueskin, Professor of Professional Practice at Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism wrote in a paper for the Judith Neilson Institute, “Monica Attard, a journalism professor in Sydney, says she can’t persuade most students to take internships these days because it’s so easy for them to land full-time jobs — and she assumes the code deserves much of the credit: ‘I swear to God, I have not seen it like this in 20 years’.”

While there are clear benefits to publishers from collective negotiation, the question is: How should members of each collective organize themselves it in a way that is inclusive, fair, and transparent to all its members?

As a matter of principle, News Media Canada and the

National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada believe that publishers large and small should benefit equally from any settlement – based on their proportionate investment in newsroom employees. Simply put, any settlements from collective negotiation would be shared among publishers on a pro rata basis – based on their total salaries and wages paid to eligible newsroom employees – less the expenses associated with this collective negotiation.

C-18 builds on the success of Australia’s News Media Bargaining Code. While not a silver bullet, it brings the value of trustworthy, high quality Canadian journalistic content to readers through more licensing deals, which will allow more publishers to reinvest in their newsroom and in their digital business transformation.

What is the hub and why is it important for Peachland?

What is “The Hub” and why is it important for Peachland?

Many of you may have noticed a bit of a buzz around town about a new community “Hub”. What is a “Hub” and why is it important for Peachland?

In short, a community hub is a multi-purpose public space that brings several community agencies/groups together to offer a range of activities, programs and services - all in one location, making access easier for residents.

The Peachland non-profit organizations listed below, have joined together with the vision to create a community oriented vibrant, lively, active intergenerational space where we can all exist, independently, yet together. This will encourage and allow for greater collaboration and a positive synergy

between all of us.

This “Hub” idea was born out of necessity. Money is tight and spaces within town are becoming more and more limited. The situation is even more urgent because of the planned construction of the second tower of the seniors residences as this means that the current homes of the Peachland Wellness Centre, the Peachland Food Bank, Peachland Community Policing and the Peachland Lions will all be demolished this coming winter. Rather than all of us competing for very limited programming space, we decided it was time to find an efficient and effective solution on our own. So with the support of the mayor and council, and working together with district staff we have found a solution. That solution is the “Hub”.

The hub represents opportunity for the community to have their needs met, cultivate new relationships, discover a sense of empowerment and to become active participants in creating a stronger more vibrant town. By working together, and with strong civic leadership, we can make this happen.

The Hub cannot thrive without the support of residents – after all, this is a project

by Peachlanders for Peachlanders. We will be hosting a town hall in the coming months to share our vision, answer questions, and take feedback. In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more, donating to our “Help us Build” campaign, or volunteering on one of our committees, feel free to reach out to any one of the names listed below.

Swimmer missing near Squally Point Gorman Bros. donate PEACHLAND VIEW West Kelowna RCMP are searching for man who went missing in Okanagan Lake on Saturday.

On June 18 at approximately 3:45 p.m., West Kelowna RCMP responded to a call for a 34-year-old Calgary man, Oluwaseun Samson Adedeji, who had failed to resurface after jumping into Okanagan Lake from a boat.

The incident occurred near Squally Point, south of Rattlesnake Island.

Adedeji and five friends were vacationing from Calgary.

The West Kelowna RCMP boat team, along with teams from Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) and Peachland Fire and Rescue responded quickly to the call, said Kelowna Regional Detachment Sergeant Kevin Duggan.

Despite their efforts, searchers have been unable to locate the swimmer. As of earlier this week, the search for Adedeji was still ongoing.

The Peachland Outdoors Club was recently in need of a new power saw to maintain the local hiking and ski trails so they decided to approach local businesses to request a donation toward the purchase of a new $1,000 power saw. Member Chris King’s (left) first call was to Gorman Bros. Lumber in West Kelowna. After speaking with Nick Arkle (right), the CEO of Gorman’s, Nick told them that the company would pay the total cost of the new saw.

“Of course we were amazed and very thankful for the company’s generosity towards our purchase,” King told the View. The new saw will help the Peachland Outdoors Club maintain Gladstone Trail, Bedford Trails and Wilson Lake trails.

JOANNE LAYH Last Friday Okanagan Lake exceeded full pool by three centimetres and has since continued to rise.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the lake has reached a level of 342.60 metres. Full pool is 342.48.

Sandra Follack, Central Okanagan Regional Emergency Program Coordinator, says residents who live in areas that are prone to flooding are asked to take precautions to protect their properties.

Local governments and emergency crews are closely monitoring the levels of creeks and lakes in the area and working to protect critical infrastructure.

Property owners in flood prone and low-lying areas are responsible for protecting their own properties. Residents are encouraged to visit cordemergency.ca/beprepared for more information.

Sand and sandbags are available in Peachland at 13th St and San Clemente Ave. To protect the shoreline from further erosion during the freshet season, the public is asked to leave debris washing up along the lakeshore in place until water levels recede.

Boaters are also asked to be mindful of their speed and wake to prevent property damage along the shoreline.

To report a flooding concern or potential problem (non-emergency) Central Okanagan Emergency Operations advises residents to contact their local public works department. Peachland’s public works department can be reached at 250 767 2108.

For the most up to date information, visit cordemergency.ca. Information will also be provided via twitter.com/ CO_Emerg and facebook.com/CORDEmergency.

Emergency response personnel request that the public only call 9-1-1 in case of emergency.

The District of Peachland is looking for committee members. If you are interested in participating in the Council Remuneration Committee, please submit a letter of interest including your background and contact information.

The Council Remuneration Committee consists of 3-7 members of the community to review Council’s remuneration and make recommendations to the current Council for the new incoming Council’s remuneration.

An update on the progress of the Peachland Hub project RICK INGRAM Welcome to the first progress update on the Peachland Hub project. It has definitely been a busy six months for the hub volunteers since council first gave us support in principle for the project at their December 14, 2021 meeting. Council had asked us to prepare a business case and feasibility study for them to consider prior to any decision on whether the project could proceed or not.

So. we got to work!

First, we formed the Peachland Hub Society, with a steering committee that meets once per week to guide the effort. Then we formed sub-committees (operations, building, fundraising, marketing, and interim space) and we set to work collecting and agreeing upon the information needed for our business case

document (we rolled both of council’s requests into a single document). Those efforts, and preparing the corresponding business case document, is what kept us all very busy through January, February and March. The completed document was submitted to staff for review in the first week of April and then shared with council at their April 19, 2022 meeting. At that meeting, council gave us the authorization to proceed with the project and a commitment to provide the facility to the groups on a long term lease for $1 per year.

An important item to note about the Peachland Hub project is that the project will not cost the District of Peachland (and therefore the taxpayers) any money. The district is contributing the existing 50+ Activity Centre building and additional land as needed between the 50+ building and

the highway. The project is being entirely driven by the non-profit groups that will occupy the complex. This includes all designing, planning, construction, and most importantly, fundraising for the project.

As we did all of the work for the business case, it became clear that the only way the hub would ever get built is if we were successful in applying for a major government grant.

The main one we identified is the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program at Infrastructure Canada. In order to be ready to apply for this grant, we were going to need to have some design, engineering and costing work done.

So that started the work for an RFP process to hire an architecture and engineering team and kicked off our start-up fundraising campaign to have the funds for the first

‘Schematic Design & Energy Study’ project. The RFP was issued on Apr. 11, and on the closing date of May 6 we received five proposals to consider. After interviewing three of the candidates, Urban Arts Architecture from Vancouver was chosen as the architects for the Peachland Hub project - many of you will have seen some of their work with the new library in Summerland.

The start-up fundraising campaign was intense and at times stressful as we knew that we had to raise enough money to pay for the first project before we could hire the architect team. We successfully raised $184,090 from 13 generous donors - including one exceptional donation from Emmanuel Althuis (Emmanuel has been a long-term volunteer driver with Peachland Wellness Centre) who made a stock donation with a value of about $130,000.

Because of this we were able to start our ‘Schematic Design & Energy Study’ project. The first step was a site visit by the architecture and engineering team, a vision workshop and a sustainability workshop which all happened on May 25 and 26. The next step will be a concept design review to be held with our design project committee on June 21. The big item will be the schematic design review sometime in July as we will be holding an open house for the public at the 50+ Activity Centre that evening to share our efforts to date.

So that brings us into our main fundraising campaign that will be multi-faceted and go on for a couple of years. We are preparing applications to family and corporate foundations across the country, and we are reaching out to community minded companies around the valley and the province. We are hoping that all

Peachlanders will recognize that Peachland’s community non-profit groups need a new and permanent home, and that they will consider making a donation in support of this project that will serve Peachlanders for decades to come.

And we hope that there will be a few people like Emannuel, who have made good gains on a stock they’ve owned for 10, 20, 30 or more years, and who want to have a significant impact on this legacy project for Peachland.

Our primary appeal to individuals right now is the “Three Times for the Hub” pledge, in which you make a donation now and commit to donate the same amount again in 12 months and then again in 24 months. See our ad or contact us at info@peachlandhub. ca for more details.

Next update in about a month :) Help Us Build.

Young people invited to submit entries to fall fair Junior Section CHARMAINE NOFIELD Finally, after a two year hiatus, the fall fair is on again.

With children now bringing home many crafts that they have made throughout the year, it is the perfect time to get out a box and start saving entries for the junior section of the fall fair. There are crafts, writings, arts and gardening

to enter to name a few.

Refer to our website for all the entries available, and remember the students, and younger ones must do it themselves.

We are so looking forward to seeing old friends, and making new friends as we accept entries, and visit with all who have entered; there will be cash prizes for first, second

and third. The best part of the volunteer job is seeing young people run up to see what they might have won, then coming back again and again to check and make sure it is real.

So, parents, guardians, and caregivers, get those creative juices flowing and enjoy the summer of arts and crafts, and see you at our great Peachland Fall Fair.

FOR SENIORS Safety upgrades for seniors’ Many seniors want to spend as long as possible residing in the comforts of their own homes. According to AARP’s 2021 “Home and Community Preferences Survey,” more than three-quarters of U.S. adults age 50 and older prefer living at home. But getting older often comes with certain deficits that may not make current living situations the safest for seniors.

Retirement Living reports that an older person is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury nearly once every 10 seconds. Falls cause millions of injuries and 32,000 deaths a year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Seniors may be affected by low vision, mobility limitations, cognitive decline, balance issues, and loss of muscle strength. Certain adaptations may be necessary if seniors want to stay in their homes, particularly in older homes that have not recently been renovated.

Change knobs to levers

This is an easy modification. Levers are much easier for individuals with arthritis or persons who lack dexterity in their hands. Everything from doorknobs to faucet knobs can be replaced with levers.

Create zero-threshold entryways

Zero-threshold entryways, also known as flush entries, do not require crossing a lip or any raised barrier. They can appear on doorways and showers and make it easy for people who have mobility issues, as well as those using scooters, walkers and wheelchairs, to move about unencumbered.

Clear clutter/move obstructions

One inexpensive modification is to remove extraneous furniture and accessories. Such a change widens walking spaces in a room and accommodates walkers and wheelchairs. In addition, furniture can be pushed to the room’s perimeter to

make moving around easier. It’s also important to remove area rugs, as they’re often tripping hazards.

Install grab rails and supports

Minimizing falls could come down to providing support in key rooms of a home. Adding grab rails in the bathroom near the toilet and in the shower can help a person use those facilities without assistance. Install a grab rail close to seating in the kitchen to add support.

Consider smart lighting

and fixtures can automatically turn on lights, thereby improving visibility. Also, rocker light switches are easier to maneuver than standard toggles.

Invest in a stairlift

Single-story homes are preferable for growing older gracefully, but many seniors live in multi-story homes. A stairlift makes a multi-floor home more accessible, according to Elder, an eldercare service provider. Stairlifts make it easier to traverse staircases and reduce the risk for falls.

These suggestions are just a few of the many home modifications that can help seniors safely age in place.
