Green, Liberal and NDP candidates square off in Peachland DAN WALTON EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

The three candidates hoping to be the riding’s MLA had their first forum last Wednesday in Peachland.

To get their party messages out and share their visions for the riding of Penticton, the first meeting with all three candidates was hosted by the local chamber at the Peachland Community Centre.

The contenders are Liberal incumbent Dan Ashton, NDP candidate Tarik Sayeed and Green candidate Connie Sahlmark. The event was Sahlmark’s first public engagement as a politician.

Questions were screened and selected in advance. Topics included the future of highway 97; campaign donations; environmental protection; and trophy hunting.

Regarding the highway, “This is a decision

that has to be made my the people of Peachland,” Ashton said.

“When that direction is given, I’ll be the first person to take what this community wants to the provincial government and see the certain direction this community wants is fulfilled.”

Sayeed had a similar reply.

“As an elected MLA, I will be there with you, listen to you and then represent you in the most fair way possible.”

When the issue of healthcare came up, Ashton pointed out the progress of the Penticton Regional Hospital Patient Care Tower and a boost to the cancer clinic at Kelowna General Hospital. But the challenges are overwhelming, he said, with an ever-increasing senior population and 42 per cent of the provincial budget is already being spent on healthcare. Nonetheless, it’s time for a core review, he said.

“To suggest now is the time for a core review after 16 years, I’m sorry but that’s just inaction,” said Sahlmark, who became emotional after speaking about long waits she and her family went through during her sister’s cancer treatments.

“They have not done a good job.”

As for large political donations, Ashton admitted the status quo isn’t perfect, but said the NDP plan is worse and would put taxpayers on the hook for campaign financing.

Sayeed said that under an NDP government, both corporate and union donations will be banned.

Sahlmark had the easiest position to defend, citing how the Green Party already refuses corporate or union donations and pledges to ban them.

“If you have big money running government, it’s really keeping people who aren’t wealthy out of government,” said

Sahlmark.

When asked about environmental protection, Ashton said the Liberal government has an effective prevention and response strategy, but Sayeed called the Liberal policies “disappointing” and Sahlmark said things aren’t being done responsibly.

Housing for Peachland Seniors A Proposed Affordable Rental Housing Project

OPEN HOUSE Tuesday, May 9th, 2017 2pm to 5pm Community Centre - Banquet Room 4450 6th Street, Peachland BC

The Green and NDP candidates both accused the Liberals of neglecting the environment for the sake of business interests.

When big game hunting was brought up, Sayeed and Sahlmark said their parties both promise to ban trophy grizzly hunts.

In Ashton’s response, he spoke about the Liberal’s policy on hunting in general, said the government supports it, and that animal populations are scientifically managed to ensure sustainability.

Only a few dozen people were in attendance for the forum in Peachland. In the past week, the candidates met for three other forums – two in Penticton and one in Summerland.

Voters go to the polls on May 9.

The Peachland Seniors’ Support Society is proposing a 72-unit affordable rental housing project for seniors in the heart of the community.

Generosity surges Pier project $25,000 closer to final goal JOHN GRIMES

PEACHLAND PIER GROUP The Peachland Pier Group, spearheading the creation of a landmark pier in Peachland, announced today that the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. has committed to donate $25,000 to the project. The nearly 400-foot pier will provide families and wheelchair-using anglers with better opportunities to enjoy their sport, as well as people who only have a short hour for fishing, or who don’t have access to a boat, an easy way to go fishing.

“We’re extremely grateful to the Society for this significant gift, which will sponsor one of nine projecting bays that the pier will feature,” said Eldon Kerbes, President of the Peachland Pier Group.

“This is going to be a truly wonderful public amenity, not only for the residents of Peachland, but for people from throughout the region. It will be a destination for fishermen, nature and history enthusiasts, a place for families with children and grandchildren, and an accessible retreat for people with mobility challenges, such as some of our elderly residents, and people who rely on walkers and wheelchairs. It should also be an attraction for tourists.”

The Society’s gift brings to about $175,000 funding raised for the project, about 40% of what’s needed to complete the pier. The Peachland pier fits in with a larger initiative to increase fishing accessibility.

“We’re supporting and installing fishing docks around the province, to improve access and reduce barriers to angling, to enable greater participation in the sport,” said Andrew Wilson, president, Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. “When anglers purchase a freshwater fishing license, they help us invest in infrastructure projects such as this one.”

Stories from the cop shop VIEW STAFF A woman was resting in the back of her minivan when a car thief entered the vehicle and stole her wallet.

It happened around 10:20 a.m. last Saturday in the parking lot of the Winfield Arena. When the woman first heard the man enter the vehicle, she wasn’t alarmed, assuming he was a family member, according to the RCMP. Upon realizing it was a stranger, she confronted the man. He pretended to have confused the van with his mothers and then quickly fled the area. It wasn’t until later that the woman realized her wallet had been stolen from inside of her purse, which had been sitting in the front seat at the time.

“Additional, and possibly related, thefts were reported along Bottom Wood Lake Road, Woodsdale Road and even Read Road,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Investigators have noted that the vehicles related to the thefts were not damaged, as it is believed they had each been left unlocked. RCMP wish to remind residents to lock their vehicles, remove any valuables or keep them out of sight and report suspicious activity or thefts to police immediately.”

A man in his 20’s with dark complexion, dark facial hair, and seen wearing an oversized white hoodie with a black insignia or design on

it has been described as a person of interest.

Anybody with information that might help the police crack this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. *** A Kelowna man woke up in jail after threatening his roommate with violence and a firearm.

The RCMP were alerted of a dispute around 9:45 p.m. on April 20 in the 1000 block of McCurdy Road. One of the men involved fled the home after calling the 9-1-1.

The other man was still there so cop dogs and general duty officers were brought in to cordon off the vicinity of the home.

“Specially trained officers with the RCMP Southeast District Emergency Response Team (SED ERT), along with a crisis negotiator were called to the scene to assist,” said Cpl. O’Donaghey.

While holed up in the residence, police got in contact with the man via phone. The incident ended around 3 a.m. when the police convinced the man to peacefully surrender after several hours of negotiation.

The home is still being secured by police as the investigation is ongoing.

The man they arrested is 38 years old and appeared for his first court appearance on April 21.

Both major parties are lousy Kevin O’Leary throws in the towel When I contemplate the choices we have in the upcoming provincial election, I must admit I get depressed.

I think we need a new category on the voting ballot entitled None of the Above.

The Liberals can be characterized as sleazy, avaricious and sneaky taxers with a conceited attitude. They are also given to flip and smart alec sophistry instead of candid, direct answers on issues.

They obviously suffer from the corruption of power.

The NDP offers promises

from high ideological origin, but little common sense.

Their wild spending promises give new respect to the prejudicial epithet drunken sailor by replacing it with a new one; desperate politician. They insult by then saying that they will balance the budget by taxing only rich people. This is a common phony promise used widely in politics, and the math still does not work.

Then we have the Leap Manifesto ...

Continued on . . . Page 6

I wonder if celebrity Conservative leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary was even serious about his run.

He dropped out of the race on Wednesday after conceding that ridings in Quebec would be too difficult to win without speaking fluent French.

In many ways, it seemed as though he was a shoe-in to win the leadership race.

He has a level of fame, fortune and charisma that none of the other candidates could come close to matching. Similar to Donald Trump, O’Leary’s media experience and his reputation as a villain made him far more entertaining to watch than any career politician.

But did he really plan on fluently learning French at the age of 62? Would

he really want to forgo his massive free-market income to earn a politicians’ wage? And would the majority of Canadians vote for someone who often comes across as a jerk?

Maybe he was just lending his celebrity to give the Conservative Party a boost.

He claims to have sold well over 1,000 party memberships (at a minimum of $15 each). His name gave the leadership race massive amounts of publicity. He made political accountability seem exciting. And who knows what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of dollars he raised for the campaign.

Here ‘n’ there: MPs will toe the party line for pot profits JON NETELENBOS

PEACHLAND COLUMNIST Most newly elected politicians seem to be well-intentioned public servants, committed to improving the lives and institutions of Canadian society. But like hyperactive newborn puppies on freshly-waxed floors, these political neophytes are quickly rounded up, separated, and consigned to their new quarters where they will receive daily orientation and training in understanding and following their respective party’s platform and edict. Finally, after several exhaustive months, our newly elected politicians have left the memories of their past life behind them and have learned to subordinate individualism to party ‘collectivism,’ a term not to be confused with the old Soviet Leninist and Marxist ideologies.

Individualism does not work well in politics because it’s diffi-

cult to assimilate and reconcile the political views of every MLA or MP into one single agreed-upon opinion. The only exception would be during a “‘free vote” where MPs or MLAs are not required to follow the party line. The bottom line is that party collectivism is a certainty when it concerns taxation revenue. Allow me to explain.

Collectively, politicians and their respective federal and provincial governments have always had a ravenous craving for finding new revenue potentials. In fact, these days they have been feeling inordinately giddy, realizing that a plan to legalize marijuana in 2018 will generate billions of dollars in tax revenue. I suspect that the nighttime dreams of our provincial and territorial finance ministers include visions of boundless rows of troughs holding trillions of glittery gold coins.

Some high-profile politicians are already looking at how cannabis

should be marketed in their province. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s ambition is to use the Liquor Control Board of Ontario as the exclusive province-wide marijuana retail outlet.

And yet our federal government continues to downplay this enormous windfall, citing that these dollars will directly go to support addiction and public health programs, a claim that is also being echoed by some provincial governments. I’m sorry for being somewhat skeptical. Hasn’t this also been said whenever we’ve seen changes in liquor taxation and pricing?

Once the marijuana legislation is passed I think Canadians will demand a great deal of transparency from their provincial governments, including an explanation of how cannabis profits and taxation revenues are to be distributed.

Canadians should also be re-

minded that taxation won’t be the only source of revenue. Provinces and territories will be able to make their own rules regarding marijuana impairment enforcement, distribution, licensing, and retail sales. This means income will also derive from regulatory fines, enforcement tickets, administrative and ignition interlock device fees—much like B.C.’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition program.

There may be some elected officials who oppose and denounce marijuana legalization, but I suspect they won’t be blockading the corridors and hallways of their legislature or parliament.

(Even federal Conservative party interim leader, Rona Ambrose, conceded in a radio interview last year that a large group of “mostly adult” Canadians support legalization for recreational purposes).

Clearly, political collectivism wins, thanks to a highly-anticipated cache of tax dollars.

OPINION

Peachland exaggerated Dear Mr. Netelenbos: Having been out of town for a spell I am just catching up on my Peachland View. I take exception to some of your comments in the March 17, 2017 edition of The View.

When we first moved to Peachland in 2007 we were able to look up to a lovely view of the “undulating evergreen topped hillside” on Pincushion Mountain. We now look up to rows of townhouses, condos and ugly concrete blocks.

As for the “delectable food,” my cousin’s son visited us last autumn and choosing to go out for dinner we decided which restaurant advertised what seemed to be a nice selection of dishes. There were

three of us, each choosing something different. When the waitress arrived and we began to order, of the six choices on offer only one was available. There was not even an option to add a side to what was available.

My cousin’s son has lived and worked in most countries in Europe and is currently living and working in Istanbul. Do you really think with his background he is going to go back to Istanbul and promote Peachland as the “Home of Canada’s finest food’?

Albas contemplates cannabis DAN ALBAS

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Dan.Albas@parl.gc.ca Last week the Liberal Government introduced the much anticipated Marijuana legalization bill, technically known as Bill C-45 “The Cannabis Act”. First let me state that the Liberals clearly campaigned on legalizing marijuana and I have heard from several citizens who indicated this was one of the primary reasons they voted Liberal in the last election. I mention this point as I believe the

Liberal Government does have a democratic mandate to move forward with this legislation.

From a quick overview this Bill takes a very similar approach that I used with my wine bill that removes federal barriers but still allows Provinces to enact and adopt their own rules and regulations with respect to marijuana legislation. I will credit the Liberals for using this approach as it allows Provinces to individually respond to this legislation in whatever manner they believe is most workable.

My Green vote: weary, hopeful and defiant Dear editor: It happens every election. The NDP line up and lecture other lefties on how they mustn’t split the vote and open an avenue for the current government to retain power.

It’s always the same. Defeating the political right is of paramount importance, they sternly warn, and a vote for the Greens is a vote for the right.

Some of the more progressive among them take the debate a step further, recognizing that electoral math is not hard, that everyone can do it, and that there are actually good reasons to vote Green.

Nevertheless, in defense of the math – as if 410 ppm carbon dioxide did not also count as math – they insist we must put political beliefs and good conscience on the back burner and vote NDP. Perhaps 2017 is an inauspicious year, following so closely upon the 2015 federal election, endless talk about ‘strategic’ voting, and abundant promises of Real Change. Even if you disbelieved Justin Trudeau’s campaign promises and weren’t disillusioned when he broke so many of them, it doesn’t mean you’re in the mood to hear them repeated.

As a reminder, Trudeau promised fact-based decision-making, and also promised the needs of the economy and the needs of the environment could be balanced. From the get-go, he ignored the fact that every dollar invested in clean energy will yield three to seven times more jobs than a dollar invested in fossil fuels.

He also ignored the fact our parents taught us – you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. His pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change failed to provide what he said it did, a pathway to approving tar sands pipelines and LNG projects while meeting established GHG emissions reduction targets.

A final insult in an overheated world, environment minister Catherine McKenna announced just days ago that implementation of methane regulations will be put off three years. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers explained that it was in reaction to their demands that the government rolled back the date.

Disappointingly, the NDP is no less cap-

tured by fossil fuel interests than Trudeau and McKenna, or than Christy Clark. Lambasting Clark’s “phony promises” on LNG jobs, John Horgan says he will deliver the LNG industry that she hasn’t, and also “achieve the highest environmental standards while respecting our commitments to combating climate change.”

But experts have calculated that fracked shale gas has a heavy GHG footprint due to fugitive methane leaks – some say a footprint as heavy as coal’s. Horgan’s promise was as phony as Clark’s even before McKenna effectively said all bets on methane limits and “clean growth” were off.

Count me weary – too weary to support such charlatans any longer.

Count me hopeful – I know a better way lies with the new green economy.

And count me defiant. Ours is not a two-party system despite what the NDP want us to believe.

It’s perfectly legitimate to vote Green, and it’s perfectly possible that the Greens could wind up holding the balance of power in a minority NDP government.

I

t’s perfectly legitimate to vote Green, and it’s perfectly possible that the Greens could wind up holding the balance of power in a minority NDP government.

Furthermore, in ridings where Green candidates won’t overtake the NDP, our votes will not be wasted. They’ll signal to the NDP that if they want our votes in future, they had better take our phone calls, answer our emails, and deliver the policy that we, the progressive left, can get behind. The days of supporting fossil fuels and their lobbyists are over.

OPINION Vote Green . . . from Page 4 that we can’t get straight answers on and the intent to see a mixed member proportional vote system that is not about reforming a repellent system, but about enhancing their seat count fortunes as a perennial also ran party.

And the Green Party is, well, the Green Party. I would just like to see for once a member of the legislature stand up and rail against the massive taxation we all endure from the three levels of government to the point of taking over half of what we earn. I would vote

for that person. Excessive and growing household debt is a severe problem warns the Bank of Canada and this is not because we are all spendthrifts, it is because there simply is not enough left after taxes. But perpetually, to them, every problem has a tax solution.

So Elections BC, offer up the new category of None of the Above on the ballot. I think the chances that this category would win are good.

Albas on weed . . . From Page 5 So what is proposed? Bill C-45 proposes a number of measures related to the legalization of Marijuana, some of these include: that cannabis can only be sold to citizens age 18 or older although individual Provinces can raise the legal age limit if desired. It is further proposed that adults would legally be able to possess up to 30 grams of legal cannabis in public, and to grow up to four plants per household at a maximum height of one metre from a legal seed or seedling. However it should also be pointed out that until the new law comes into force, cannabis remains illegal in Canada, except for medical purposes.

With the proposed legalization also comes new proposed changes to penalties and enforcement with significant changes to impaired driving enforcement. A few examples of this include allowing the police to demand that a suspected driver provide an oral fluid sample on demand. New regulations would also be introduced with respect to restricting the THC level per millilitre (ml) of blood not unlike current restrictions related to blood alcohol content. There is also a provision to allow for mandatory roadside screening even if an officer does not have a suspicion of drug or alcohol use. Prison sentences of up to 14 years are also proposed for illegal distribution or sale of marijuana.

It is also proposed that penalties of up to 14 years in prison may result for giving or selling marijuana to minors. These are just a few of the many changes that are proposed in Bill C-45 with respect to penalties and enforcement.

As is often the case with any proposed new legislation there are still many unanswered questions, a few

of these include concerns from landlords as typically tenant insurance will be void if marijuana is grown in a rental property. Border crossings is another topic as the United States may refuse to allow entry to a citizen who has used marijuana. Policing and identifying legal marijuana from illegally sourced marijuana is also a serious concern as criminal organizations could potentially undercut legally sourced marijuana with higher THC content black market cannabis. There is also a concern that many cannabis vendors currently defying the existing laws may not comply with the new regulations and restrictions either thus ensuring that enforcement remains a challenge that many municipal and provincial police forces will be burdened with the costs of policing.

My thoughts? Many details will need to be worked out by individual provinces for a more detailed understanding of how the full implementation will occur that will be an important part of this discussion. One concern I do have is that the Canadian Medical Association, has stated that even occasional marijuana use can cause serious negative psychological effects on brain development up to the age 25. As a result of this medical evidence I believe a substantial public education campaign will be needed to better educate citizens on the mental health risks that marijuana legalization presents to children and young adults. I will continue to provide further updates on this topic as they become available. I welcome your comments and questions on marijuana legalization and can be reached at Dan.Albas@parl. gc.ca or call toll free 1-800-6658711.

More than one hundred students from Kingergarten to Grade 3 enjoyed a Bat Chat presented

by BEEPS at Peachland Elementary School. The interactive presentation is typically presented at the Peachland Historical School, however, the educational attraction has become mobile and will be available for schools throughout School District 23. BEEPS directors Sam Theriault, Rachel Truant and Darlene Hartford divided the students into three groups for participation in the interactive power point presentation, bat craft table and the bat cave reading centre.

Viewing a bat house up close and deciding what type of house bats would prefer was all part of the fun. Peachland Elementary PAC provided funding for the Bat Chat.

A facilitated tour of the Bat House Interpretive Trail is also available for schools. Reservations for Interpretive Trail Tours and Bat Chats can be made by contacting visitpeachland@gmail. com or 250-767-2455.

Dozer has been neutered and is up to date with his shots. Best suited to someone who can give him lots of exercise and perhaps some obedience training since he does get very excited and jumpy. Dozer can sit, stay for a minute and fetch! He has tended to roam in the past, so a secure back yard is a must. An affectionate boy who seems to enjoy being around other dogs, he would also probably be best suited to a family with older children (if any) as he tends to jump up a lot. Come meet this friendly boy today!

OPINION

Stories from the Old Town: Billy Williams RICHARD SMITH PEACHLAND HISTORIAN

He lived in a small cabin in the woods between 5th and 6th St. before the downtown area was built up. He lived from about 1925 to 1945 when he passed away. He was then taken to the Municipal Hall and laid out on the council table, ready for burial next day. The Girl Guides came into the hall for their regular meeting and there was old Billy!

His cabin, no

longer needed was dragged behind the Peachland General Store to be used as a feed shed. It was covered with cardboard walls inside for cleanliness.

It was then moved to the scrap metal yard at the end of 3 rd . Street and became the home of the hired man of the Smith’s Dairy farm, Jim Robertson. The cabin was then taken to that farm to store grain in about 1962. Rain coming through the roof buckled the cardboard walls in about

FIRE RESCUE – The Peachland Fire Department were called to a structure fire on the 6400 block of Vernon Avenue around 7 p.m. on April 23. The family all made it out safely, though their cat is still missing.

1982 and found under those walls were 55 calendars of local Peachland businesses that Billy had collected over the years for decoration. They still exist in Richard Smith’s collection.

Today it is still there on the road to the golf course on the south end, near the top of Somerset Avenue.

Doctor running for office pitches prescription heroin DAN WALTON EDITOR

healthcare, police and prison communities.

It’s a common misconception that most people suffering from severe addiction are homeless, he said, adding that most of his patients are employed, close with their families and good relationships.

“It’s not just one element of society.”

The rate of fatal overdoses do seem to discriminate against age though. Dr. Entwhistle said the peak age group is 30 to 50 years old.

He’s the only physician who treats addiction for Interior Health patients from Oliver, Osoyoos, Castlegar, Midway, Grand Forks, Hedley, and Keremeos. And he splits the duties with another doctor in Princeton.

Whereas in the City of Penticton alone, a team of five doctors and a mental health worker are dealing with the opioid crisis – and that community is still under-resourced, he said.

Last month, Dr. Entwhistle was at an all candidates forum between Liberal candidate Linda Larsen and NDP Colleen Ross. Both were asked about the problem of addictions, and both offered “inadequate” responses.

He looked at both party platforms and found there to be no adequate response.

“There’s no coordinated response; no one is taking accountability and in the meantime people are dying, over 100 people a month,” he said. “They have no understanding at all of how serious this problem is and how it affects our community.”

That’s what compelled him to throw his name into the hat and run for MLA. Shortly after that event, Dr. Entwhistle announced he would be running to represent the Boundary - Similkameen as an independent. His name will be on the ballot on May 9.

Dr. Peter Entwhistle, the independent candidate running in the riding of Boundary Similkameen, has a bold idea for how the province should be dealing with severe addiction.

“As much as we disapprove of people drinking and doing drugs, we’re just pushing them towards the criminals (through prohibition),” he said.

Instead of putting more resources into the War on Drugs, Dr. Entwhistle believes the government should take a radically different approach: undercut criminal drug networks and minimize the risks of using by prescribing free illicit drugs, including heroin.

Given that many Canadians have to pay for their medicinal prescriptions, he understands that his proposal to give heavy recreational drugs out for free might not be embraced by everybody. But he’s surprised more people aren’t already angry about “a healthcare system that is completely broken.”

The practice of prescribed heroin is already being experimented with at one clinic in Vancouver.

“It’s not a case of free heroin for everyone – it’s a case of tailoring treatments to the individual.”

If users have access to prescribed heroin, the risk of consuming fentanyl and other deadly chemicals could be eliminated, Dr. Entwhistle said. And if the illegal drugs became free, underground FREE HEARING TEST drug networks would Tom Millar, RHIP lose their revenues.

MUCH APPRECIATED – Peachland’s benevolent volunteers were the guests of honour at a special breakfast earlier this month at the community centre.

Recognizing the work of volunteers PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE From April 23 to 29 we celebrate once again National Volunteer Week, a special moment to recognize our volunteer’s efforts to create positive impact in Peachland.

People volunteer for many reasons, it may be to support a cause they are passionate about or to engage in their community. We often volunteer to help groups or individuals who need it the most without expecting any reward. We all are different, own skills, emotions which makes volunteer contribution so rich.

Now we can considerate some volunteer dynamics: -As a community we must realize each day, that Canadian youth will play an important role in the future of volunteering, as our population ages, and some of us will be needing some kind of help.

-Technology is getting more prominent in recruitment and engagement of volunteers -We see increased collaboration and

partnership between voluntary, government and corporate.

Besides all of that, we know that volunteering makes us feel good. Yet, did you know that, when you volunteer, you are improving your life and maybe even your health?.

Think of all the ways that volunteers make a difference in day-to-day life. We encourage you to contact us and be a part, of our 27 programs/services. You can get involved as it fits your schedule. Perhaps you can volunteer a few hours a week, a month or a year – we want you,the possibilities are endless!

Reacting to Trump’s lumber tariff DAN WALTON EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

BYE BYE BRUSHES – This sixth and final Sip and Paint event was

CONTRIBUTED

held last week at the Beach Ave Cafe. The fun is sponsored by the Peachland Community Art Council, and as always, there was great wine, great food, great service and loads of fun! The lasest paintings are on display now at the cafe for viewing of purchase. Sip and Paints resume in October.

All candidates . . . from Page 2 The Green and NDP candidates both accused the Liberals of neglecting the environment for the sake of business interests.

There was a question about the future of energy production. Ashton said the government is going is towards wind, solar and renewables, but those technologies still have a long way to go. In the meantime, the Site C dam will generate reliable and economical levels of energy, though it isn’t expected to open until 2024.

But while construction on the dam is now well underway, Sahlmark said the mega project was never needed. And voters should try to shape a future that’s much less dependant on fossil fuels, she

believes.

“Let’s not look like a bunch of backwood hicks.”

When big game hunting was brought up, Sayeed and Sahlmark said their parties both promise to ban trophy grizzly hunts. In Ashton’s response, he spoke about the Liberal’s policy on hunting in general, said the government supports it, and that animal populations are scientifically managed to ensure sustainability.

Only a few dozen people were in attendance for the forum in Peachland. In the past week, the candidates met for three other forums – two in Penticton and one in Summerland.

Voters go to the polls on May 9.

It won’t be so easy for Canadian wood to penetrate American markets with the nearly 20 per cent tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration.

Premier Christy Clark’s response to those affected: “We are here for you. We will fight for you. And we will not give up.”

Within hours of the news breaking on Tuesday, Clark issued a five-point plan: challenge the United States’ claim that government subsidies gives Canadian lumber producers an unfair advantage; use the next few months to renegotiate a fair deal; lobby private home builders and lumber retailers to pressure the American government to relent; ask for federal assistance; and open new markets beyond the United States.

NDP leader John Horgan is equally as disappointed with America’s “unjustified”

claims as he is with Clark’s inaction leading up to this week.

“She has not treated this issue with the urgency it deserves,” he said. “Because of delay and inaction, thousands of BC workers now risk losing their jobs and their livelihoods.”

Horgan said Clark should have been lobbying the U.S. government, but instead, “she was ‘optimistic,’ calling (Trump) a ‘builder.’”

Clark did say something along those lines during a Q&A in West Kelowna, as the reported in Feb. 1 edition of The View.

“Donald Trump as a builder knows intuitively that residential housing starts is a major driver of economic growth for America,” Clark said on Jan. 27.

“He ran on a jobs agenda, and they cannot grow their housing industry without softwood going into their country.”

She may not be as optimistic anymore,

but Clark still believes this measure of protectionism will not benefit the American public.

“It’s going to be a battle, but we’ll succeed because everyday Americans want the same things we do – housing that’s affordable and jobs to build those homes.

And because every time these U.S. industry allegations are tested in an impartial court, they lose – because the facts are on our side,” said Clark.

Less than 18 hours after the Liberal’s first response, another six measures were put forth: the government will pre-purchase B.C. lumber that could be used for BC Housing projects; embark on trade missions to India, China, Japan and other parts of Asia immediately following the election; doubling the Forest Innovation Investment from $5 million to $10 million, which promotes trade in China and India; drop the PST faster on

the forest industry’s electricity bill; and a reminder that the province will boost its presence down south by establishing a permanent trade office in Washington, D.C. Local MP Dan Albas said Horgan is wrong to criticize the BC Liberals, claiming the issue is primarily the responsibility of the federal Liberal Government.

“This is an issue that for some is easy to play partisan politics with as the BC NDP has illustrated,” Albas said.

“However in reality forestry is a critically important industry not just in our riding of Central Okanagan Similkameen Nicola but in many ridings in British Columbia and let us not forget other regions of Canada. As an example in my riding the largest private sector employers in West Kelowna, Merritt and Princeton are all lumber mills.

In the riding immediately south, South O k a n a g a n —We s t Kootenay represented

by NDP MP Richard Cannings, this is also the case and is one of the reasons why MP Cannings recently introduced a private members bill promoting the use of wood in government related construction projects.”

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called up Trump to talk about the issue.

“The Prime Minister refuted the baseless allegations by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the decision to impose unfair duties,” reads a government press release. “The Prime Minister stressed that the Government of Canada will vigorously defend the interests of the Canadian softwood lumber industry, as we have successfully done in all past lumber disputes with the U.S. The two leaders agreed on the importance of reaching a negotiated agreement, recognizing the integrated nature of the industry between Canada and the United States.”

The White House put out a short press release saying the phone call was “very amicable.”

COMMUNITY

Boys and Girls Club eager for summer fun PATRICIA BARROWS

OKANAGAN BOYS & GIRLS CLUB With summer only a few weeks away, staff members at the Peachland Boys and Girls Club have been busy making plans for Summer and Fall programming!

Is your 3 or 4 year old child eager to start school? At Peachland Preschool, children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in a stimulating and fun environment. They are given the opportunity to develop and practice social and language skills, cooperative play, independent thinking and self awareness.

Programs are developmentally ap-

propriate and introduce children to new activities such as songs and interactive stories at circle time, group games in the gym or outside, and art techniques at the craft tables.

Located within Peachland Elementary school, students at Peachland preschool become familiar with the school which helps them feel comfortable as they transition into kindergarten with their preschool classmates. We are holding an open house June 7th from noon to 2 p.m. where families can explore the classroom, meet the teacher, and complete registration for September classes. Classes will

be offered 8:30 to 11 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 4 year olds and 8:30 to 11 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday for 3 year olds.

Pre-registration is required; tuition sponsorships may be available. To participate in the open house or for more information about preschool or any of our other programs, contact the club at 250-767-2515.

There is still time to register your teen for our Spring Youth Conditioning program offered Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. until May 25th for only $5 per session. Instructor Carla is leading youth through fun activities designed to help develop improve agility, balance, coordination, core strength, flexibility and endurance regardless of fitness level. The program will also focus on promoting healthy living, self-care, and empowerment. Contact the Club for more information.

Take a moment to visit the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club website at www.boysandgirlsclubs.ca to learn about the great programs and services and special events offered across the Valley. Our Facebook page, Okanagan Boys and Girls Club Peachland, includes program information and some of the fun things we’ve been up to. We also invite people to come by and check out our Club anytime to meet the staff and pick up our program and activity calendars.

Progress by numbers Inch by inch, visitors to the Peachland Art Gallery are filling in the 6,048 squares required to complete a giant mosaic of historic Peachland. If you haven’t already, drop by the gallery, fill in a square and help the local arts council break a Guinness World Record for the largest number of participants painting a paint-by-number scene at one venue. The canvas is 1.8 metres by 2.1, and the project is being undertaken in commemoration with Canada’s 150.

Every second week, The View will be sharing a progress update.
