Public education may not be enough, some argue, at meeting on invasive mussels Biologist estimates cost of Okanagan invasion at $43 million a year

RICHARD MCGUIRE Special to the Peachland View It would only take one irresponsible boater to cause an infestation of the Okanagan lakes by invasive zebra or quagga mussels, costing the region an estimated $43 million a year.

That’s the message that aquatic invasive species experts brought to a

workshop at the Sonora Community Centre in Osoyoos April 4 attended by about 30 people from both sides of the CanadaU.S. border.

There were conflicting views on whether such an invasion by mussels is inevitable or preventable.

Some argued that public education is insufficient to stop it, that the weak link is human behaviour and only tougher laws

and enforcement can prevent a disaster.

Zebra mussels, originating in Europe, have already taken over many lakes and rivers in eastern North America, including the Great Lakes. With sharp shells the size of fingernails, they encrust themselves on boats, docks, rocks and they choke off water intake pipes. Their sharp shells force bathers to wear

shoes.

Contrasting opinions were given by Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells, who chairs the Okanagan Basic Water Board (OBWB) and aquatic biologist Heather Larratt, of Larratt Aquatic Consultants.

campaigns in the northwestern United States that have so far prevented the spread northward from a few infested lakes in Arizona and California.

Larratt is less optimistic as a biologist who has studied how these two mussel species have been spreading.

“You have no idea how badly I want to be wrong

and Mayor Wells to be right,” she said.

Both Wells and Larratt, however, agree that B.C.’s lakes came very close to being infected last summer in an incident they both refer to as “the Idaho story.”

The news media last summer reported the incident in general, but not its Idaho connection. A boat brought from Arizona, where several lakes are infected, was put into Shuswap Lake before provincial officials could intercept it. The boat had quagga mussels encrusted on it, but they were subsequently believed to be dead when the boat entered the water.

What news reports at the time didn’t report, but Wells and Larratt related, was that every year officials in Idaho intercept boats with mussels encrusted on them, some headed to B.C. Normally when they speak to the boat owners, the owners are willing to have their boats decontaminated. In the case of this Arizona boat, however, the owner simply refused when Idaho officials confronted him.

Concerned Idaho officials attempted to contact authorities in B.C. where they learned the boat was heading, but there was a communications breakdown. A message was left for an official with the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations (FLNRO), but the official was on vacation.

Despite having numerous mussels attached to the boat, officials with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) didn’t intercept the boat when it crossed the border.

The boat was already in Shuswap Lake by the time

the message from the Idaho officials was received and FLNRO officials responded.

On July 16, 2012 the provincial government triumphantly issued a news release headed “B.C. acts swiftly to deal with invasive species threat” which boasted that the B.C. government responded “decisively” to the threat.

The story prompted some in the audience at the workshop to suggest that tougher rules, such as mandatory inspections, should be implemented and that public education by itself isn’t enough.

“I don’t trust human behaviour,” said John Gates, one member of the audience interested in aquatic issues. “You always get some people at the extreme end whose behaviour destroys it for everybody.”

There will always be some people who don’t do a thorough enough wash of their boats, Gates said, adding that government needs to levy a fee on all boats to set up a self-sustaining inspection program.

“Voluntary does not work,” he said.

Another audience member, Michael McGee, told how Lake Tahoe in Nevada and California has inspection stations at all boat launches.

Larratt noted that mussel larvae are invisible when they are found in bilge water and so boaters can carry them without realizing it.

She outlined the economic damage to the Okanagan that an infestation here would cause.

Once the area is infected, mussels cannot be eradicated, she said.

About $5 billion was spent over 10 years mitigating the damage of

mussels in the Great Lakes. Officials at Lake Tahoe have estimated that an infestation there would cost $22 million a year.

Larratt’s own ballpark estimate for the Okanagan is $43 million a year for the first few years, although she concedes that she is a biologist and not an economist.

Every year that we don’t have mussels is money in the bank, she added.

“If there’s a silver lining to these mussels, I haven’t found it,” Larratt said, suggesting that these are more destructive than other invasive species.

“This is kind of like Eurasian water milfoil on steroids,” Larratt said.

Other presenters included Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the OBWB, Lisa Scott of the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS) and Jodi Romyn of the Invasive Species Council of B.C. They outlined their organizations’ programs to educate the public about aquatic invasive species.

The groups work with their counterparts in the U.S. and other Canadian provinces to ensure that messaging is consistent.

In particular, they want to underline the positive behaviours that boaters should engage in to prevent the spread of invasive species. The number one message is that boaters should “clean, drain, dry” their boats after removing them from the water and before transporting them.

In December, the B.C. government amended its controlled alien species regulations to impose fines for transporting aquatic invasive species.

Failure to clean mussels off boats or equipment can result in a fine of up to $100,000.

BC Transit offers service improvement options at public open house JOANNE LAYH Peachland View BC Transit officials hosted a public open house event at the community centre last Thursday to offer Peachlanders an opportunity to have their say about transit investment options for the future.

A total of 24 people attended the public open house.

BC Transit offered several options to improve local transit service, but those improvements won’t come without a price tag attached.

If council chooses to proceed with the proEstimated local cost

posed improvements, each of the options would include a local cost share that Peachland would be expected to pay.

In some instances, bundling two service improvements could be cheaper than making improvements individually.

For example, the estimate local share cost to bundle weekday peak-only commuter service with a new weekday community service between Ponderosa, Trepanier, IGA, and Beach Avenue would be $34,000 less than it would cost to make the improvements individually.

“Most of the people were in favour of the

proposals presented, particularly the short-term proposal of improving the evening service,” BC Transit senior transit planner Matthew Boyd told The View.

If you didn’t have an opportunity to attend the open house event and would like to provide your input, you have until April 19 to complete an online survey at www.bctransit. com/transitfuture/pch_ latestupdates.cfm.

Boyd says BC Transit will compile the open house and online survey information collected and present recommendations to council in the near future.

Water quality advisories issued for Peachland and Star Place It’s spring runoff time and once again the district has issued a water quality advisory, which means it might be time to boil your drinking water or start using bottled water until the turbidity rating improves.

A water quality advisory was issued by the District of Peachland last Thursday in response to a “fair” rating on the turbidity index.

Spring runoff and turbidity (dirty water) are annual occurrences in the region from April to June.

While the associated health risks are minimal, Interior Health recommends that the following groups of people drink boiled water or a safe alternative, such as bottled water, until further notice: • Children; • The elderly; • People with weakened immune systems; and • Anyone seeking additional protection.

While the water advisory is in effect, the above persons should boil any water intended for drink-

Regular council meeting highlights - April 9 Operating agreements for the primary school

Council passed two resolutions that amend the Boys and Girls Club and the Chamber of Commerce management and operating agreement for the primary school. The amendments include: • The agreement term changes from a five-year term to a three-year term; and • Subject to an annual budget review of the compensation amounts.

Sewer rates bylaw

Council gave final adoption to the Sewer Rates Amendment Bylaw. The sewer rates include a 9.1 per cent increase or ap-

proximately $6.65 per quarter for a single family dwelling. The rates fund the sewer operating requisition from the regional district based on the proportion of actual sewer flows from Peachland relative to other participating jurisdictions.

Sidewalk and right of way occupancy policy

Council approved an amendment to the sidewalk and right of way policy by replacing the ‘May 1’ start up date with ‘April 1’, subject to the start date being approved by the directory of operations to allow for line painting and street sweeping if required.

Furthermore, council has requested staff to bring

forward a proposal for amendment to the mobile vendor and mobile food vendor policy in time for the 2014 season by replacing the ‘May 1’ start up date with ‘April 1’, subject to the start date being approved by the director of operations.

Community recreation policy amendment

Council approved an amendment to the community recreation policy.

The amendment allows for gratis requests up to a maximum amount of $100 for the purpose of district staff time and is for the purpose of non-profit groups hosting a community event, to be waived, at the discretion

of the director of community services.

ing, washing fruits or vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth.

Residents with extra fine water filters in their homes may want to check to ensure their filters are up to snuff and can cope if silt is present in the water supply.

District operations clerk Linda Nicholas says staff have notified local business and public places with hand delivered notices and placed sandwich boards advising of the water quality status at all strategic intersections in the community.

A water advisory has also been issued by the Regional District of

the Central Okanagan (RDCO) for eight Central Okanagan West Electoral Area properties connected to the water system on Star Place. The properties affected are located off Trepanier Road near the Okanagan Connector (Hwy 97-C).

OPINION

Muzzling scientists is an assault on democracy DAVID SUZUKI Access to information is a basic foundation of democracy. Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms also gives us “freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.”

We must protect these rights. As we alter the chemical, physical and biological properties of the biosphere, we face an increasingly uncertain future, and the best information we have to guide us comes from science.

That scientists – and even librarians – are speaking out against what appear to be increasing efforts to suppress information shows we have cause for concern. The situation has become so alarming that Canada’s Information Commissioner is investigating seven government departments in response to a complaint that they’re “muzzling” scientists.

The submission from the University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Centre and Democracy Watch alleges that “the federal government is preventing the media and the Canadian public from speaking to government scientists for news stories – especially when the scientists’ research or point of view runs counter to current government policies on matters such as environmental protection, oil sands development, and climate change” and that this “impoverishes the public debate on issues of significant national concern.”

The complaint and investigation follow numerous similar charges from scientists and organizations such as the Canadian Science Writers’ Association and the World Federation of Science Journalists, and publications such as the

science journal Nature.

Hundreds of scientists marched on Parliament Hill last July to mark “the death of evidence”.

The list of actions prompting these grievances is long. It includes shutting the world-renowned Experimental Lakes Area, axing the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, eliminating funding for the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences and prohibiting federal scientists from speaking about research on subjects ranging from ozone to climate change to salmon.

The government appears determined to challenge any information, person or organization that could stand in the way of its plans for rapid tar sands expansion and transport and sale of raw resources as quickly as possible to any country with money.

The results have been astounding. An Environment Canada document leaked to the Climate Action Network states, “Media coverage of climate change science, our most high-profile issue, has been reduced by over 80 per cent.”

In a truly open and democratic society, ideas, policies and legislation are exposed to scrutiny, debate and criticism. Information is shared freely.

Governments support research that makes the country stronger by ensuring its policies are in the best interests of the people. A government that values its citizens more than its industrial backers does not fear information and opposition.

Countries where governments hold a tight rein on information, shut down or stifle research that runs counter to their priorities, and demonize and attack opponents are never good places to live. We have to make sure Canada doesn’t become one.

Why shop local?

Why shop local? Why not? It would seem to be a no brainer if quality and cost are competitive. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case as to the cost.

The reason at times is understandable as the local business is serving a smaller market and are forced to charge a percentage higher then stores in larger centres simply due to volume of sales.

But what is an acceptable mark-up? 5 per cent or 10 per cent? Even at 10 per cent, a $20 item will cost you an extra $2. If you only want one or two of the item, it would hardly seem worth the gas to drive the extra 5 or 10 kilometres to save the $2 or $3, plus there’s the convenience.

But if you purchase 10 or 20 items or are looking at more expensive items or services, the savings can be quite substantial if you shop at the larger centres.

Peachland is a tourist town. There are businesses here that rely solely on the tourist trade during the summer months and their mark up will likely be at a lot higher percentage.

I know of one business that gave a discount to Peachlanders in the off months, but it is hard to frequent a store when you know their prices are artificially high most of the time. Then there are others that have clientele that come from outside Peachland

for professional services so they charge what the market will bear. I do not feel obligated to seek their services. You can usually tell these businesses by their year-round staffing levels.

However, there are also mom and pop operations that provide a great service to the local community and try to stay competitive as they rely solely on local customers; these businesses certainly deserve our support if we want to keep them in Peachland.

Keep in mind that if you take the 5 or 10 kilometre drive down the road, it doesn’t automatically ensure you get a better deal. I recently purchased an item from our closest pet supply store, which was listed for $160. I later saw the exact same item online for $85; that’s a 100 per cent mark up. In my view, it gets hard to support even Canadian business for that kind of cash.

I’m not sure what the answer is. Unless you have a fat wallet, we all want the best value for our dollar yet we also want to support our local economy.

I guess all I can do is to do competitive pricing and decide if the local business that I want to support is within my comfort level when it comes to percentage mark up.

David Blair, Peachland

Despite his claims, Albas is raising your taxes MP Dan Albas likes to boast that the Conservatives are “looking at all forms of public sector spending in order to find efficiencies and savings without raising your taxes.” There’s only one problem: that isn’t true.

The Conservatives’ federal budget increases tariffs on everyday items imported from dozens of countries.

These rising tariffs are a hidden tax on everything, from clothing and shoes to household cleaning products to televisions.

They are also increasing your Employment Insurance taxes. Increasing this tax on jobs is reckless when so many areas of the economy are still struggling.

Stephen Harper and his crew are increasing taxes on hospital parking, taxes on life insurance, taxes on safety deposit boxes, taxes for airport security, taxes

on credit unions, and the list goes on.

For years now, Conservatives have tried to boast that they never raise taxes. That was easy to do when they took power and inherited a $13 billion surplus from the previous Liberal government. However, these taxand-spend Conservatives dug themselves into a deep deficit; they increased program spending by almost 40 percent and are now hiking taxes left, right and centre.

The next time you see Mr. Albas, remind him to show his constituents some respect and be honest about taxes. No amount of spin or government advertising (that they pay for with your taxes) can change the fact that a tax hike is a tax hike, and we know it.

COMMENTARY | NEWS | COMMUNITY

Election season reminds us of the importance of debate MLA BILL BARISOFF Special to the Peachland View I have been extremely fortunate in my 17 years as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of British Columbia to serve in a variety of different but important capacities. My role as an MLA began first as an opposition critic, later a government minister with two different ministries and my final two terms serving as the Speaker of the Legislature. During that time frame I also experienced on two different occasions changes to the electoral boundaries that ultimately resulted in my representing new and different communities then from where I was first elected to serve. On reflection this experience has been greatly valuable in providing a better

understanding on how provincial government works and the unique and diverse challenges that exist in different regions of the southern interior of British Columbia.

MLA Bill Barisoff In each different position I served as an MLA there were many important lessons to be learned and as is often the case in public office, most of those lessons came with a political price attached to them. Of all the differ-

ent roles over the years my time spent as the speaker will be by far the most memorable for me, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.

One of the most important considerations for any speaker in any parliament or legislature is to be non-partisan at all times. When I was first elected as speaker I wondered how one could be “non-partisan” at all times and more so in communicating with citizens within the riding and in my weekly reports, where it is not uncommon to respond to political criticism from the Opposition.

However I soon discovered that in order to respond to Opposition comments and criticisms it was very much possible to do so without in any way leveling a personal attack or using

insults of any kind. In fact today I take solace in not having once engaged in a personal attack or ever maligning members of the opposition for the past eight years.

I should also note that at no time did I receive a comment from a citizen indicating they preferred a more aggressive or partisan tone. From my perspective and experience, many citizens have better appreciated partisan politics being left out of the discussion.

The other challenge I encountered as speaker is that as a strictly nonpartisan role, I could not speak directly on behalf of government. At first this also presented a challenge, however I soon became aware that one can explain the facts and benefits of a particular program or policy of government without encouraging

citizens to support it, or in other words, without my cheerleading in support. Providing factual information and the reasoning for a project or program without adding a personal political bias allows citizens to decide for themselves on the merits of any governmental decision and if they desire to support it or oppose it without political encouragement to do so from their MLA. I have in turn discovered that this approach generates less negative reaction from citizens of all stripes and if anything encourages more meaningful and constructive feedback.

In summary what I enjoyed most about my time spent as the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly is the fact that it is a non-partisan position and while at first I thought of this as a limi-

tation in communicating with local constituents, in my view this was one of the great assets of the position.

I feel the need to convey these thoughts as soon the writ period will descend upon British Columbia and what I often refer to as the “silly season” will begin.

I believe we should take note that the debate and discussion of differing political views can be a more constructive and less partisan one. As the weeks leading up until the next election will go quickly I hope that all citizens take a moment to think about the issues that are most important to you and find ways to communicate them civilly and constructively to others.

Working together we can all raise the level of debate in British Columbia.

Canada goose population to be controlled through egg addling MIKE RIEGER Peachland View As part of their efforts to control the Canada goose population in the Okanagan, the Okanagan Valley Goose Management Program is about to begin their egg addling program.

Egg addling involves shaking the unhatched eggs or coating them with non-toxic corn oil so that they will not hatch. The eggs are then returned to the nest, and by the time the geese realize, it will generally be too late in the year for them to produce more.

In this process, approved by the U.S. Humane Society, the adult

geese are not harmed and are free to continue their lives normally.

The reason that the population needs to be controlled is that Canada geese are not native to the Okanagan. They were brought here in the 60s and 70s as part of an introduction program, and although the geese thrive here, they are unable to migrate south for the winter as the geese had no natural parents to teach them how.

“While most communities along the valley are struggling with management of non-migratory Canada geese, this program aims at reducing geese that are not a native species to this area,” says

Kate Hagmeier, coordinator of the Okanagan Goose Management Program. “Trained contractors have already been searching for pairs and nesting sites, and we hope to complete the addling program by the end of May.” Since the addling program began in 2007, approximately 7,700 eggs have been prevented from hatching. Taking into account the normal mortality of young geese, this is equivalent to approximately 5,800 fewer geese in the valley.

The public is asked to keep away from goose nests and to avoid touching eggs, but to assist in the location of new nests by reporting lone geese,

Variety Singers spring concert to celebrate new beginnings PHYLLIS PAPINEAU Special to the Peachland View Spring is a time for new beginnings; leaves are budding on the trees and flowers are popping out of the ground, in spite of the deer. The Peachland Variety Singers will be holding their annual spring concert on Sunday, April 14 at 2 p.m. in the 50 Plus Activity Centre on Beach Avenue.

Entitled New Beginnings, the program features a challenging selection of music from composers such as John Rutter, Rogers and Hammerstein and Irving Berlin. The initial number in the concert is called A New Beginning, which extols the joy of moving from darkness to the light.

Other pieces include It’s Only A Paper Moon, What A Wonderful World, Over The Rainbow and April

Showers.

As well, the concert features three duets, solos, an octet, accordion medley and a tribute to the late Madeleine Ford.

The choir is made up of members from West Kelowna and Peachland.

Admission is by donation and refreshments will be served after the concert. It is recommended to come early as seating is limited.

Following the concert, the Peachland Variety

Singers will be heading for Kamloops to take part in a three-day workshop and mass concert with senior choirs from all over British Columbia. Peachland hosted the senior chorfest in 2009.

The local choir was disappointed to learn that the much anticipated concert with the St. Albert Singers on May 25 had to be cancelled as not enough choir members from the Alberta

city could make the tour.

So this will be the last chance Peachlanders will

have to hear the Variety Singers in concert until December 8.

Property forecast in the Peachland OďŹƒcial Community Plan for Low Density Residential is under application for zoning to a site speciďŹ c Low Density Residential Land Use for a Duplex.

On March 31, 2013, Jenny died peacefully in Kelowna General Hospital surrounded by her family. Jenny is survived by her husband of 58 years, Doug Fraser. Her three sons, Doug Fraser (Shannon), Alan Fraser (Irene Richard), Rob Fraser, six grandchildren, Kelli Meyer, Andrew Fraser, Ian Fraser, Stu Fraser, Cam Fraser, Zoe Fraser and a year and a half ago Jenny welcomed her first great grandchild to the family: Mia. Jenny was born on December 14, 1932 in Glasgow, Scotland to John Lynch and Margaret McLean. She was the third of six children. After working at Collins in Glasgow, she immigrated at the early age of 21 to Montreal, Canada where she became part of the Scottish-Irish community. Jenny and Doug started their family and in 1962 bought their first house in Brossard, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River across from Montreal.

Jenny pursued crochet, needlepoint, painting, pottery and bowling while raising her boys. She also enjoyed her summer home in Blue Haven, New York. She and Doug retired in 1988 and four years later they moved to beautiful Peachland, BC where they lived for the next 21 years.

This was Jenny’s time. Her artistic side flourished in the fresh mountain air. Jenny learned to golf, went line-dancing, travelled with Doug and enjoyed each year bringing her garden to bloom. Jenny took great pride in her home in her summer paradise. It was always a special treat when her sons and their families, as well as her friends and relatives, came to visit.

At Jenny’s request, the family will hold a private memorial in celebration of her life.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages your donation to a charity of your choice.

Special thanks go out to Jenny’s doctors, nurses and the team at KGH. “Goodbye Jen, Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma. We love you.�

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Here’s How It Works - Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

FAITH

Food for the Soul: Do you know where you are going and what you are doing?

PASTOR ED SKUTSHEK Grace Lutheran Church Special to the Peachland View Do you know where you are going and what you are doing? If you asked Mary Magdalene these questions at sunrise on the first Easter Sunday morning she would have answered them this way: “Yes, I know where I am going. I am going to a tomb that houses the dead body of Jesus of Nazareth. A man named Joseph, took Jesus’ body off a cross, wrapped it in linen and placed it in Joseph’s own tomb. He rolled a large stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.”

She would have answered the second part of the question in this way: “Yes, I know what I am doing. After the stone is removed from the entrance I am going to make sure that Jesus has a proper Hebrew burial.

I am going to wash his body, anoint it with aromatic spices and oils and rewrap it in clean linen strips.”

Mary had faith and trust in the words that Solomon penned in the book of Ecclesiastes a century before: “There is a time to be born and a time to die,” (Ecclesiastes 3:2).

When she got to the tomb, her resolve as to where she was going and what she was doing was severely tested. She discovered the heavy stone that had sealed the tomb was rolled away and the tomb was empty. Her first response was to run to Jesus’ apostles and announced that the tomb was empty. The Apostles Peter and John ran to the

tomb to check her story.

They too found the tomb empty. The strips of linen that had been wrapped around Jesus’ body were lying on the ground. The cloth that was placed over his face was in a separate place inside the tomb. Bewildered by the strange sight, the Apostles left the tomb.

Mary remained outside the tomb sobbing. She looked in the tomb one more time. She was shook to the core by the appearance of two angels in the tomb. They asked her why she was sobbing. Her answer was this: “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him,” (John 20:13).

Mary’s attention was caught by a third man who stood in front of her.

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who

is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

She still put her trust and faith in Ecclesiastes 3:2, Jesus’ time to die had come and she had to bury and mourn for him in the customary way. It turns out that the third man, who she thought was a gardener, was in fact Jesus. The moment Jesus revealed himself to her, a living faith in the living Son of God was resurrected in her.

Prior to his crucifixion, Jesus had spoken many words to Mary and the other disciples and performed many miracles, even raising a man named Lazarus from the dead.

Jesus had said: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.

Do you believe this?”

(John 11:25-26).

Memories of the teachings and miracles that Jesus had performed were covered over, or buried, by the grief over Jesus death and the fear of what might happen to them in the aftermath of his death. Would the same authorities that silenced Jesus eventually silence her?

The presence of the resurrected Jesus brought these words and teachings to mind and to life in her in a new way.

She knew that God had permanently changed

Ecclesiastes 3:2. There is indeed still a time to be born and a time to die; however, with faith in Jesus there is a time to be resurrected to new

life. This is the message of Easter and this is the power of the resurrection, to bring faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to life.

Do you want to meet Jesus and experience the power of the resurrection? Go to a church near you. He is risen and He is present!
