No proof water damage at complex was vandalism, as repair process begins KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR
Now that the flood damage is cleaned up, repair work will soon begin at the new seniors complex, where a kitchen faucet left on caused water damage to 20 of the building’s 74 units earlier this month. A third party remediation team will be at the Residences on 6th (4445 6th St.) to certify everything is dry before materials and tradespeople are brought in to fix the damage, which affected the 20 units to varying degrees, said Noha Sedky, manager of development with City Spaces, the consulting firm working on the project. “A few units have quite a bit of damage, and in others it’s minimal. One unit on the main floor, for example, just has a cabinet face that needs to be replaced. But in others, the walls had to be removed – including the cabinetry, so the damage varies.” Getting caught up on construction won’t be a quick process, Sedky says, as it’ll take several weeks to do the repair work. “We’re hoping to give tenants more clarity around move in dates very soon,” she said. From the beginning, the dates were staggered to avoid everyone moving in at the same time, and those who were slated to move in first have made alternate arrangements. “We hope to get a better sense of timing early next week,” Sedky said. Sharon Hallberg, president of the Peachland Senior’s Support Society, said affected tenants have taken the delay in stride.
“People have been understanding so far,” she said, adding the matter will be further discussed during a regular meeting planned for Jan. 24. Over at the construction site, a security guard is still being hired to patrol the area at night, and the units are locked during the day. And although the RCMP were contacted just in case, Sedky said it’s unlikely vandalism caused the damage – it could have been as simple as cleaning staff accidentally leaving the water running, with the sink stopper in place. “We scoured our cameras, and there’s no obvious evidence or reason for it to be vandalism,” she said. “Our priority now is to get the repairs going, and to give tenants more information on move-in dates, so they can schedule their lives. There’s a lot of pressure onsite to get this done on time, but not so much that things are going to fall through the cracks.”

Hangliding off Pincushion mountain didn’t go according to plan for a young woman who was rescued earlier this week after she crashed. Despite injuries to her legs, she was able to call 911 shortly after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, said Penticton Search and Rescue manager Kelvin Hall, who coordinated the rescue. “She was able to maintain contact with rescue crews while they travelled to the scene, where she was located near the summit. The team’s HETS (Helicopter External Transport System) was joined by two ground crews. The woman was found near the Pincushion summit, where the helicopter crew lowered rescuers down to treat her at the scene. She was then packed up and airlifted to an ambulance, which took her to hospital. Hall said anyone who ventures into the backcountry needs to tell others where they’re going, pack GPS equipment, or install a cell phone mobile app such as Trailforks, which can help rescuers find your location. And although he says he sounds like a broken record, the message remains the same after such rescues. “Proper trip planning is essential no matter what you do – as no one plans to have an event or emergency when recreating,” he said.

What’s up with the break-ins? KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR
Peachland, do we have a problem? Coincidentally, I just typed this sentence when Peachland mall manager Norm Capette dropped by the View office – to tell me Bosley’s pet store was broken into early Wednesday (check out www.peachlandview.com for details). It’s the latest in a string of break-ins – and if you read the story on page 2, you’ll likely agree with Norm when he asks me the same question as last Friday, when the bank was smashed in an attempted break-in. “What’s wrong with people?” Ask the various victims of break-ins and stolen vehicles over the
past few months, they’ll all shake their heads too – it’s definitely a problem when some punk or punks, steals your stuff and causes damage. Like most of us, Shawn Kelly was sleeping just after 5 a.m. Friday, totally oblivious to what was going down at the Peachland mall. But when the RCMP knocked on his door an hour and a half later, he was shocked – his truck was gone, and cops told him it had been used in a crime. The evidence was definitely there at the VantageOne Credit Union. The ATM vestibule, the nighttime deposit box, and the building itself was heavily damaged – and all over, were chunks of logs and branches. Police say his truck was used to ram the bank in an attempt to steal cash. (Continued next page).

EDITORIAL
Editorial: Numbers and ancedotes don’t match when it comes to crime (Continued from Pg.4) They fled in another stolen truck, and as of now, the hunt is still on for the suspects. “I’m an arborist, and I need that truck for work,” said Kelly, who owns Valley View Tree and Landscape. He was planning to work that Friday, and all through the weekend. He’s not now, though. As this story is filed, he was awaiting word from ICBC on whether his 2006 F350 flatdeck truck is a write-off. Kelly’s livelihood is now in a bit of limbo, unable to pay for a new vehicle until all the insurance stuff is settled. Shannon McDiarmid was just dealing with the same thing. Her F350 – which had Christmas presents and her husband’s wallet (it fell between the seats the night before), was stolen too, on Christmas Eve. “I feel for Shawn – Fortunately, we don’t absolutely have to have a truck right now but feel as though not enough has been done. There’s an epidemic going on in Peachland right now.” If you read the Neighbours page on Facebook, you’d easily get that impression. Reports of scofflaws going through vehicles and suspicious dudes on driveways has us all wondering what’s going on. A phone call to the West Kelowna RCMP detachment wasn’t returned in time, but Kelowna RCMP Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said although there may be a perception of more crime (he counts Friday’s incident as three crimes, as it involved two stolen trucks and the attempted break-in of the bank), he said there’s no numbers to suggest crime in Peachland has gone up. “We want to reassure the community and we also encourage people to report suspicious activity and report crimes. Often people think it’s a waste of time to call us, but no crime is a waste of time.” Al Blessin and his team of Community Policing volunteers haven’t seen anything amiss lately, but he also sympathizes with those who’ve had something stolen. “I also had an F350 that was stolen off my driveway several years ago,” he said, noting volunteers now have the ability to check license plates as part of their stolen auto recovery program. Anything nefarious they find, they call the West Kelowna RCMP. “I’d have to say, looking at the crime map statistics we get from the RCMP, Peachland is always very low compared to Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country. And over the last couple years, there’s been no increase at all in Peachland.” That’s what the numbers say – and it’s important to remember those represent reported crimes the RCMP investigates. But anecdotally, we’re getting a different story. At the mall, Norm Caplette said in the 21 years he’s managed it, this is the most break-ins in the shortest amount of time. It tends to go in spurts – and we’re obviously in the middle of a bit of one. He said there hasn’t been much of an appetite for hiring full-time security, as the cost would be represented in increased rents for mall tenants. “We’ve had windows and doors kicked in, they take the cash register, but this bank one was a little more extreme,” he said. “These people are very very competent at hot-wiring, stealing, they could do some amazing things to get some equipment going, and get it gone, yet they don’t seem to be able to put their intelligence or their efforts in the right direction. I find that so frustrating. The damage that they do, it’s just sickening. And it’s just wrong.” It’s expensive, too, says Frank and Laurie Kouwenhoven, who own Lakeside Auto. They’ve been hit three times over the past few years.

“And each time, it costs you money because you have to do things like install bars on the windows, more out on the shop, we’ve done the glass on the door twice – it’s a concern, for sure.” We’ve been lucky so far, that no one has been hurt. There’s no easy solution to this – would increased RCMP patrols help? More bars and security? Do we want to barricade ourselves in our homes and businesses? I guess for now, we keep up with the obvious things like locking up and being aware of surroundings, all the things authorities tell you to do. Should we be soured on our town? Not a chance, says Kelly. “At the end of the day, what can you really do. I’m not pissed off at Peachland, we’re still a quiet little town. But there’s a lot of BS out there, and we all see that.”

Hey Justin: Open dialogue wanted Dear Editor, An article last month in the Calgary Herald (Corbella: Saying ‘Merry Christmas’ is ‘worse than murder’ says BC cleric, Jan.4) a Sheikh is telling congregants of the Muslim Youth of Victoria, B.C., that wishing people a Merry Christmas is worse than (committing) murder. We elect governments to protect our democratic and human rights, including our freedom of and from religion, freedom of thought, and freedom of expression, but Trudeau’s Liberal government with no consideration for human rights and national security, amended the Human rights Act to cuddle and accommodate the Muslims, hoping to get their vote. Today anybody who publicly dares to disagree with his government, especially on sensitive issues related to immigration, migrants, and Muslims, and the Liberal government’s ‘policies’ on our wide-open borders can be prosecuted for hate crimes.
Trudeau is using and abusing his politically correct army to muzzle the people, and to intimidate the media that at one time was perceived to be the champion defender of our civil liberties. As an immigrant, born and raised in a free and democratic society where the people freely discuss anything and everything including all aspects of sex, religion, and politics, without any fear of reprisals by their politicians and the courts, I am becoming confused. While we are being told we are a free and democratic society, it’s difficult to comprehend why we constantly are being muzzled by the courts, our politicians, and the media, when all we want is open and honest dialogue on very important issues that are challenging our civil liberties and national security. -Andy Thomsen, Kelowna
More on refining where you mine Dear Editor, Refining bitumen in Alberta at strategic locations nearby bitumen mines has numerous employment and environmental benefits. I have commented previously on these benefits as have many others. “Refine it where you mine it” might well break the impasse between Alberta and BC regarding the Trans Mountain pipeline. A major concern to BC is the pipeline expansion to transport roughly 500,000 barrels per day of diluted, unrefined bitumen (dilbit) to American and off shore refineries. We know bitumen is really toxic to the environment and we don’t know much about how to clean it up when spills occur. And spills will occur. If the bitumen was refined in Alberta then piped to markets, the pipeline volume expansion could be reduced. Refined petroleum products are less toxic than dilbit and we know a lot more about how to deal with spills. Even upgrading bitumen to become a flowable crude (without adding diluents) would be a big step in the right direction. Reduced volume of a more lucrative product would be a financial gain. Twining the current pipeline to transport familiar
petrochemicals could well improve the safety of the current system. The new pipeline would be a backup for needed overhauls of the current ageing pipeline (upwards of 70 years old). And twining would be less expensive than the current massive expansion plan. Maritime shipping would be reduced as well from one tanker a day to possibly one every two or three days. A commitment by Canada and Alberta governments and the oil industry to pursue the “refine it where you mine it” strategy would send a huge positive signal to BC that BC’s concerns are being heard and that compromise can be found. -Steve Burke, West Kelowna

Donna’s Fresh Café runs on love and laughter, with cups of strong coffee and good food. Walk in any afternoon, and you’ll be welcomed with a fresh, homemade lunch. Or enjoy a comforting cup of coffee and a made-from-scratch muffin – because it’s such a friendly place, you’ll often find separate tables joining each other’s conversation, swapping stories and greetings from across the quaint space, tucked into the Westridge Shopping Centre in Westbank (#20, 2484 Main St.) It’s been almost a year since owner Donna Garrett followed her dream and opened the café. And with the help of her mom, Bernadette, Donna’s Fresh Café is becoming a place to grab a chair, have a good conversation, and of course, eat: Whether it’s a simple sandwich, a cup of fresh, roasted-in-BC coffee, or something special (Donna’s been known to whip up a birthday cake or anything offmenu when a customer has a request), each and every item is made right from scratch. There’s no processed food here - Donna, who has always had a knack in the kitchen, has some fond early memories of making a mean potato soup with her mom. She then graduated to cooking spaghetti and meatloaf, before getting a job at a Tim Hortons. There, she discovered a talent for doughnut making. Fast forward a few more years, and Donna, at home with two young kids, started thinking of making a dream of hers a reality. She enrolled at Okanagan
College, wrote a business plan, took bookkeeping courses and caught up on her Food Safe certification. “And then this location came up, and it was an opportunity. Both my kids are now in school and I think this location has a lot of potential - so I asked my mom, ‘hey do you want to move here and help me with this?,’ and here she is!” The daughter-mother team work long hours (with the help of another staffer who works cash while the ladies are in the kitchen), but looking back over the past year, Donna can’t help but smile. “ The people who come in are just so, so friendly,” she says. “It’s hard to believe it’s been a year - what’s that saying, that time goes fast when you’re having fun? I think that’s what’s happened. Pretty much every day is a lot of fun. I’ve met some really interesting people, and so many of them are so willing to tell you stories. I’ve met a lot of inspiring people.” Looking around her cozy café, with the art on the walls and the promise of many more delicious meals and treats to come, Donna says she has no regrets. “In 40 or 50 years when I look back on my life, it would be a regret if I didn’t do this. I’d probably be pretty disappointed in myself,” she says. “I’m not going to get rich, but I’m having fun. Every day, when I wake up, I look forward to what I’m going to make, and who I’m going to meet.”

Looking at ten years’ worth of work, Kelowna artist Kato Rempel can’t help but reflect. There’s the Big White years where she spent her earlier career, then two years in India, where she continued to work in oils. Then it was back to Kelowna, where she started to work in figures and human forms. Work in mixed media, and a more cubist influence define her most recent work. The entirety of her work, Evolution of an Artist, is on display at the Peachland Art Gallery until Feb 10. The opening was held Jan 12.” It’s interesting be-
cause similar themes come through, but at the same time, you can see how the techniques have changed,” Rempel said. Janet Hornseth, the gallery’s coordinator, is thrilled Rempel’s work represents the first time the gallery has held a solo exhibition. “The amount of work she’s done, the evolution of change in her style, it is so interesting,” she said. The Peachland Art Gallery (5684 Beach Ave) is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This does not occur every month as our moon has a slight incline and its orbit often misses earth’s shadow.” In contrast to a solar eclipse where the moon blocks the sun and special filters are a must for safety reasons, a lunar eclipse is simply the full moon sliding into Earth’s shadow. During what they call totality, the lunar surface turns a copper orange due to sunlight refracting or passing through our atmosphere, much like those hot summer sunsets on earth. “If you were on the moon, you would see an orange ring around the earth,” Boyle says. “From this vantage point you would see every sunset on the left side of the earth along with every sunrise on the right side at the same time.” The next total lunar eclipse seen from Canadian soil will take place on May 16, 2022 where the east and central part of the country are favoured to see the entire eclipse. Here’s a timeline of what to expect in our area on Saturday night (Jan.20). • Partial umbral eclipse begins: 7:34 p.m. The moon begins to enter the shadow. • Total lunar eclipse begins: 8:41 p.m. • Greatest eclipse: 9:12 p.m. • Total lunar eclipse ends: 9:43 p.m. • Partial umbral eclipse ends: 10:51 p.m. The moon completely exits the shadow.

Thirty-two students are accepted into the NMP and the SMP every year. The programs are focused on training physicians from and for underserved and rural communities. “The aim is to increase the healthcare profession in BC and support their education in BC, and what we’ve seen, is that our grads are coming back in numbers that are rewarding,” said Winwood of the northern program. “There could be a variety of reasons for this, but there was a lot of work put into this program, so we would like to say it’s a success.” Studies suggest doctors who train in these types of communities are more likely to return to practice there, once their education is complete, said Dr. Allan Jones, regional associate dean for the Interior region. “The Southern Medical Program is helping to inDR.

GUEST COLUMN
In last week’s report I referenced higher CPP premiums, that will increase from 4.95% up to 5.95% gradually between 2019 and 2023, resulting in lower take home pay for many Canadians. If you have been watching television, it is possible that you may have even come across commercials from the CPP Investment Board that state “you started saving for retirement with your first paycheque.” I have received complaints over the fact that a true savings account is one that citizens can voluntarily withdraw from, whereas CPP contributions do not offer this flexibility. I have also received enquiries and comments about CPP and other federal government retirement programs. For those who may be unaware, here is a summary about the different programs that the Federal Government administers. These include the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). CPP is generally funded equally by you and your employer during your working years. CPP can provide benefits for loss of income created by disability or retirement. The benefits are ultimately calculated by how much you have contributed and over what length of time. You can start collecting CPP as early as 60 or as late as 70, however different rates would apply.
In contrast, OAS provides a modest pension to most Canadians at age 65, if you have lived in Canada for at least 10 years. The maximum OAS payment is for individuals with 40 years or more of residency after their eighteenth birthday. Seniors with earnings in excess of roughly $77,580 per year will gradually receive a lesser OAS benefit that ultimately is eliminated for an income in excess of $ 125,696 a year. The GIS is specifically for lower income seniors 65 and older with an income of roughly $18,239 annually or less. If you have questions for any of the above programs you can contact Service Canada toll free at 1-800-622-6232 for further information. I have heard many comments over the recent increase in CPP premiums. One common complaint is that if a person does not live to 65, or not long after, the amount that can be transferred to spouse, after a lifetime of CPP contributions, is comparatively quite limited.
