Full-time Bylaw Enforcement position brought back and approved ERIC HALL

At Tuesday’s council meeting, Director of Planning, Darin Schaal, brought back the proposal for a full-time Bylaw Enforcement Officer as a new staff position.

The request for early budget approval was necessary because of staff changes that have resulted in a lack of bylaw enforcement during the last two months. The proposal was deferred at the January 28th council meeting because of financial constraints, and more information was requested.

This time staff presented information about the responsibilities of the position and details of recent issues that have not been dealt with. The approved position will be responsible for both bylaw enforcement and licensing duties.

Details of the different types of licenses were listed and they were shown as licenses for businesses, suites, bed and breakfasts, cannabis, outdoor food and vending, wharf and buoys,

sidewalk encroachment and special events. The report also gave information about many calls for bylaw enforcement where no action had been taken, because of a shortage of staff.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, there was general support for the request this time as the many responsibilities were presented. However, some questions were asked about the increased role of bylaw enforcement with the extra staff position. Currently most enforcement action is the result of complaints. Some members of council were concerned about how bylaw enforcement will be managed with issues like unregistered suites and short-term rentals such as Airbnb.

Coun. Pete Coolio was concerned about the annual expense ($85,000) and questioned whether such high costs were justified with this position and whether the person hired would be busy during the winter months. Mayor and council thanked the Director of Planning for the report produced and in the end the motion to approve was unanimous.

Increased concern about bats in our Historic Primary school ERIC HALL The future of Peachland’s Historic Primary School was debated over many years. When a large bat colony was discovered in the attic, not everyone was happy. But when people realised that a single little brown bat can eat a thousand mosquitoes in an hour, that helped to ensure community support. Bats are also protected under BC’s Wildlife Act. Unfortunately there is increased concern about the bats because of the spread of a fungal disease called white nose syndrome (WNS).

This disease has recently been confirmed in Washington State just 150km south of the border. WNS has killed millions of bats in eastern North America and is now spreading to the west coast.

Bats are generally hibernating out of sight at this time of the year, but some are occasionally seen. Sleeping bats are best left alone.

However if you find a dead bat, it should be reported to our local BEEPS society. Although WNS does not affect humans, you should not touch it with your bare hands.

HeARTS Festival at the Community Centre on Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm DEBORAH LIVINGSTONE

PRESIDENT, PEACHLAND ARTS COUNCIL Our theme this year is the “Roaring Twenties!”

Our art groups have been very busy and produced more than 40 paintings depicting fashion, art, transportation, design and dance entitled “Then and Now”.

On Feb. 15 at 1 p.m. Mayor Fortin officiates the opening. Our Town Crier, Bruce Klippenstein, has prepared a very special cry for our Artisans Showcase. This year we have seven deserving recipients of the Bob Sugden Youth Art Award ($100 each) and Gabi Haas, widow of Bob Sugden, will be on hand to honour students of music, drama and dance. We normally award two certificates but this year the nominees were so impressive we decided they’re all worthy and everyone is getting an award!

We have demonstrations in painting, wood carving and sculpture set up at various stations throughout the gym on both days and special invited artists at specific times.

Well-known Kelowna artists Daniel Dearborn (Saturday, 11:30 a.m.) and Heidi Champagne (Sunday, 1 p.m.) will be demonstrating various techniques as well as a fun-filled hands-on participation projects for all to enjoy. Come out and try your hand at painting our special art deco mural or wood jigsaw pieces.

But it’s not all about painting! Our Pincushion Quilt Guild will be demonstrating the changes in quilting techniques from the 1920s to today. Up on the stage on Saturday and Sunday at 2:45 p.m. master gardener, Darlene Romanko invites you to revisit time and explore 100-year-old gardens and discover the plants that would have grown in a 1920s garden near you.

Bring the kids on Sunday! 1 to 3 p.m. We have five art activities set up for the kids in the banquet room. Cupcake decorating, string art, paper quilling and a very special art project with our Librarian, Raphael. The Artisan Showcase runs Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Admission by donation. Everyone Welcome!

Arts Council takes over Visitor Centre on March 1 ERIC HALL At Tuesday’s council meeting, staff presented the operating agreement for the Visitor Centre. From March 1, it will be managed by the Peachland Community Arts Council (PCAC). The agreement is for a four-year term with an annual operating fee of $58,000 with increases in line with the consumer price index. Currently the Visitor Centre is managed by the Chamber of Commerce. With the new agreement, the operating hours will be increased. In the summer it will be open eight hours a day, seven days a week. In the winter, six hours a day, six days a week.

While the agreement was approved by council, two issues were debated. One was the request from PCAC to eliminate the requirement to use a professional accountant to prepare financial statements. The other was the lack of recognition in the agreement for the space used by the bats society (BEEPS). Councillor Condon suggested that a letter from PCAC regarding the space used by BEEPS would be sufficient.

Planes, trains and automobiles ERIC HALL Yes, that was the name of a comedy movie starring Canada’s own John Candy. It was a funny movie but it also highlighted some important issues with travel. Since the View’s editor, Joanne, is on the way to Singapore and Beijing, she may experience some of those issues personally. At least it should give her good material for a future editorial column in the View.

Growing up in England, our summer holiday involved the family catching a train to a seaside resort about 50 miles away. With limited money and without a family car, our summer holidays were experiences to be remembered and I remember them fondly. These days people in Britain are more likely to take a trip to Canada or China than visit the local seaside resort. People travel more, which has become a mixed blessing.

More recently, we planned our summer holidays around a house exchange. A few years ago we were in contact with an English family arranging an exchange. They told us, in an email, that they were going to fly to Vancouver and then catch a train to Peachland. I had to try and explain the lack of intercity train travel here. In Europe trains are a vital part of the transportation systems both intercity and local. London is serviced by a vast network of different railways and more are being added. Public transport is a better option than driving for large cities like London.

Here in Peachland public transport is limited to catching the No. 22 bus. Marion and I have used it a few times and it seems to work quite well. But this

week I saw someone waiting for the bus and she was surrounded by two feet of snow. There was no bus shelter or a place to sit. As long as we fail to provide decent bus shelters, most people will not use that system, especially in the winter. So living in Peachland means that you have to have a car.

We have the Beach Ave walkway which is a major asset to the town and I hope we can extend it in the future. But most people live on the hillside and walking down to Beach Ave is not realistic for the majority.

We need proper sidewalks on Princeton, Ponderosa and Trepanier. But can we afford to build them?

Each year Peachland receives about $300,000 from gas tax revenue; it’s called the Community Works Fund (CWF). This process started in 2005 and is an agreement between both the Federal and Provincial Governments to transfer gas tax revenues to local governments. The money can only be used for eligible projects of which there are many categories.

In Peachland we have used the money for a variety of projects such as the water meters. When I was a member of Council, we spent over $300,000 from the CWF to improve the sidewalks on a section of Princeton Ave. This year there is a proposal to spend $370,000 from the CWF on a water spray park in Heritage Park; that was supported based on the results of a survey. It is good to encourage more young families to come here but I believe that the ability to walk safely from your home to the downtown area is a fundamental right. In my opinion the CWF funding should be used EVERY year to build better sidewalks and provide bus shelters. This will help to provide an alternative to the private automobile; we should try to get out of our cars whenever we can.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, members of council were given a detailed analysis of Peachland’s policy of managing outdoor and food vending applications.

Since the establishment of the original policy in 2016, every applicant for food vending has been denied. Urban Systems were given a contract to do a comprehensive study comparing Peachland to other Central Okanagan communities. They were also asked to interview relevant organisations and businesses in Peachland as well as possible applicants. The study was conducted in November and December of last year. Brittany Tuttle of Urban Systems presented the results of the study and the recommended changes to Peachland’s policy.

Most other communities only allow one-year contracts and have restrictions on the hours of operation. West Kelowna only allows mobile vendors rather than fixed-location operations.

Penticton gives priority to applicants that live in their community. Osoyoos requires a review of food served to ensure healthy options.

The main issues identified by Urban Systems during their interview process were garbage, the lack of washrooms and the competition with existing businesses.

Many changes to the existing policy were then presented to council. A revised list of possible locations was provided, with some removed, but new locations added.

The five locations suggested were - Antlers Beach (new), the boat launch at Doggie Beach (new), Beach Avenue near 1st Street, Beach Avenue at 6th Street, and Beach Avenue at 13th Street.

The revised policy also includes a mobile cart to operate on Centennial Way. Some applicants for outdoor food vending have faced significant opposition from residents. The revised bylaw suggests that the location at 14th Street and Todd Road be deleted because of that.

A bigger issue has been competition with es-

tablished businesses and the lack of washroom facilities. The updated process would allow right of first refusal to existing businesses that are nearby and wish to provide the same or similar service. To further address the concerns of the business community, the report suggests that outdoor vending fees be increased to comparable lease rates. Although the report does state that “the District’s outdoor vending fees are noted as among the highest in the region.”

The rationale for the changes was given as “The amendments to the policy will reduce the amount of staff time that is required to spend processing requests for exemptions to the policy.” And that with increased fees “the fee proposed to be utilized to fund temporary washrooms.”

The presentation received mixed reviews from members of Council. Coun. Mike Kent liked the addition of Antlers Beach as there was no problem with competing businesses there. He was concerned about the higher fees proposed. Coun.

Terry Condon questioned the direction that the report suggested. In his view the original plan was to allow small operations selling popcorn or hot dogs rather than what is being proposed.

He could not support the policy as presented and would like council to continue to review applications on a case by case basis. Coun. Pete Coolio expressed similar views and was not in support.

Coun. Patrick Van Minsel suggested that more discussion was required before such a policy could be approved. Coun. Keith Fielding put the issue very simply by asking “do we really want mobile food vendors in Peachland?” Kent responded to point out that not all applications were for food and could be for such things as paddleboard rental. Mayor Cindy Fortin expressed general support for mobile food vendors but was concerned about the high fees.

Condon moved a motion to defer for more discussion which passed unanimously. Most members of council were concerned about moving too quickly with a complicated issue.

FOR SENIORS

Healthy eating options for seniors “Let food be thy medicine” is a quote attributed to Hippocrates, the ancient scholar considered to be the father of modern medicine. The saying relates to the notion that what people put in their bodies can heal and/or prevent certain conditions.

For seniors with medicine cabinets full of over-the-counter and prescription medications, the idea of relying predominantly on food to promote optimal health may be tempting, and various foods can be particularly useful to the 50-and-over demographic.

According to the World Health Organization, poor diet is a major contributor to many of the diseases that affect older people. Poor diet has been connected to the development of diabetes, and degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis also may be linked to the foods ones eat. The National Council for Aging Care says micronutrient deficiency is often a problem among the aging due to factors like lack of variety in diet and reduced food intake. Eating a variety of foods can provide all of the nutrients people need to stay healthy as they get older. Certain foods may be particularly helpful.

• Brain-friendly foods: Foods such as avocado, leafy vegetables, sunflower seeds, blueberries, and salmon are good sources of vitamin E, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients that may help ward off dementias like Alzheimer’s disease, advises Sonas Home Health Care.

• Anti-inflammatory foods: Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent inflammation that can cause cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

Aging.com says foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon,

should be consumed at least twice per week.

• Fruits and vegetables: Fresh, canned or frozen produce tend to be high in micronutrients, including a variety of important vitamins that are essential for all components of health. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics advises eating dark green vegetables, such as leafy greens or broccoli, and orange vegetables, such as carrots and sweet potatoes.

• Energy-boosters: Choose whole grains that can provide sustained energy by way of healthy carbohydrates over processed grains.

• Bone-friendly foods: Calcium-rich foods, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, can prevent calcium from being leached from the bones, which contributes to conditions like osteoporosis.

• Digestive system-friendly foods: The digestive system slows down as the body ages, as the walls of the gastrointestinal tract thicken and digestive contractions that push waste along may slow down and become fewer.

Foods rich in fiber can promote proper digestion by moving food through the digestive tract mor easily. High-fiber foods also may help naturally reduce blood cholesterol levels.

• High-iron foods: Without enough iron in the body, a person may feel tired and lethargic from a reduced production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. A lack of oxygen in body tissues from anemia can be serious, says the National Council for Aging Care. Tofu, spinach, lentils, pumpkin seeds, and fortified breads and cereals are high in iron.

Smart food choices can help seniors live long and healthy lives.

OBITUARY

Ladies Bible Study 9:30 am Dr. Gord Denison PASTOR

peachlandbaptist.com

Leona J. Whitehead passed away on February 1, 2020 in Kelowna, BC at the age of 86. She is survived by her children Rhonda Poullos of Peachland, BC, Ed (Cortney) Simpson of Lake Newell, AB, and Corinne (Steve) Bjornson of Ile des Chênes, MB; her grandchildren Jamie-Lee (Justin), Jennifer, Kimberly (Kelly), Jonathan (Lauren), Kenny (Ali), Bryan (Jennifer), and Stephanie (Kelsey); her great-grandchildren Kacey, Leah, Kate, Taylor, and Brodie; and her cousin Norman McLeod of Victoria, B.C. She was sadly predeceased, by only 61 days, by her husband of 47 years, Brian “Pa”; as well as her great-granddaughter Jaida-Lynn Ausman (May 2019); her parents Charles (1963) and Gertrude (1983) Parr; and her brother Billie Parr (1968).

Born and raised in Calgary, AB, Lee graduated from Western Canada High School. She was a great athlete and excelled in track and field as well as basketball. She loved golf and was the Club Champion at every course she ever belonged to.

Lee’s career was focused in office administration. After her retirement, she and Pa fulfilled a lifelong dream and moved to the Okanagan; she was an active member of the Ponderosa Golf club and played in many local tournaments. She always referred to Peachland as “God’s Country”.

Perhaps what she enjoyed the most over the years was playing BINGO. There were many trips in the motor home for both golf and BINGO holidays.

The family would like to thank Dr. G Verster and the staff at Spring Valley Care Home / Pioneer for the care of Leona.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, May 22, 2020 at 4:00 pm at Two Eagles Golf Course, 3509 Carrington Rd, Westbank, BC. That day, her life will be celebrated along with the life of her great-granddaughter Jaida-Lynn Ausman.

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