RCMP getting tough on excessive noise VIEW STAFF The RCMP is cracking down on unnecessarily loud motorists.

“The “Noise Watch” volunteers will be making their rounds reminding motorists and gathering data at various and often new locations throughout the summer,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.

“Enforcement by any one of our officers could occur essentially anywhere, within the Central Okanagan, which could include Peachland.”

The RCMP has reported that a number of complaints have been lodged against excessively and unnecessarily noisy vehicles on the public roads.

“The Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Section have already begun to take notice of excessively noisy vehicles while conducting our routine enforcement operations,” says Sgt. Patricia Cook, NCO/ ic (Non-Commissioned Officer-In-Charge) of the Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Section. “We would ask all motorists to drive in a manner that limits vehicle noise and to respect the comfort of their neighbours and the community.”

The law against unnecessary noise from a vehicle can be found by looking up section 7A.01 of the British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act Regulations. It doesn’t matter which

part of the car is making too much noise – it can result in the driver or the vehicle’s registered owner to be issued with a violation ticket for $109 as well as two penalty points.

The Peachland Fire Department has deployed four of its men to Williams Lake where there are numerous active wildfires.

They arrived around 10 p.m. on Tuesday night and are expected to help out for six days.

“We can only really spare one truck right now to assist the other communities, anything else would be a strain on our resources,” said Peachland Fire Chief Dennis Craig.

The 2017 wildfire season didn’t come any sooner than expected, Craig said, but “we’re early for this level of extreme.”

He’s keeping an extra-close eye on which firemen are in town and the inventory of tools available.

“When we get to this level of extreme danger, we make sure we’re managing our resources as best we can.”

He reminds the public that every day the area sits at an “extreme” fire hazard rating, the level of vulnerability increases further as forests and tall grasses continually dry out.

All throughout the entire Kamloops Fire Centre, the danger rating is either ‘High’ or ‘Extreme,’ according to fire info officer Jody Lucius.

Campfire bans came into effect all across the province over the past week, which Lucius said is based on current environmental conditions, not on forecasts.

“It’s hard to predict how long campfire bans will last,” she said. “But they’ve been put out until we say otherwise, which will depend on weather over the summer.”

She said the regional fire centre has seen a high number of human caused fires this season and “very few” caused by nature.

“We’re asking public to be very cautious with anything that can cause a fire, especially ATVs and dirt bikes,” she said. “The more people can be aware and careful with the use of fire, the better off we all are.”

BC Wildfire Services put a province-wide campfire ban into effect on July 10, and last week a state of emergency has been declared for the first time since the 2003 wildfire season.

With wildfires in other parts of the province causing hazy skies in the South Okanagan, Interior Health has issued air quality warnings, advising people with heart and lung conditions to know the symptoms of smoke exposure.

“If any symptoms are noted, affected individuals should take steps to reduce their exposure

the health authority noted.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has issued a statement recommending that all British Columbians be prepared in case of a sudden evacuation order.

“In the event of an evacuation order, you must leave the area immediately,” states MOTI. “Local authorities will not ask you to leave without good reason, and failing to leave when asked to by officials puts yourself and others at risk.”

On Sunday, Premier Christy Clark announced $100 million will be spent in rebuilding efforts.

“Our first priority during this period of extreme wildfire activity in the interior has been to ensure the safety of all those directly impacted,” said Clark. “This included declaring a provincial state of emergency so that all possible tools are available to fight the fires and protect families and communities. The emergency and forestry crews have done exemplary work, conducting themselves in the professional manner we’ve come to expect from them.”

Osoyoos Fire Chief Rick Jones said with the current conditions, a wildfire in the South Okanagan could happen at any time – and it’s the human-caused fires that have him most concerned. Before the ban came into effect, Jones said campfires need to be completely extinguished before they’re abandoned.

“It has to be cold enough to put hands in ashes,” he said.

But even when campfires are permissible, the Town of Osoyoos keeps campfires banned yearround, which reduces the risk “quite a bit and keeps everybody safer,” Jones said.

Jones added that the public could be doing a better job in terms of fire prevention, but he doesn’t feel like things have been getting worse year-over-year.

Bob Graham, Oliver Fire Chief, said the local area is very vulnerable right now.

“No camp fires, no burning and no fireworks,” he reminds. “We’ve done everything we can do – all we can do is just wait for the next call.”

And to make it easier to help those impacted by the wildfires, BC Liquor Stores have all begun accepting donations on behalf of the Red Cross.

“The first incident is said to have occurred sometime after 4 p.m., when one of the four Sea-Doo operators performed a power slide around a vessel on the lake, which not only swamped the boat, soaked the couple’s belongings, but more disturbingly it was reported that a 2-year-old child was knocked overboard into the waters of Okanagan Lake,” said Cpl.

The next call came in from another boater. Police heard that four SeaDoos were ripping around the water extremely close to the complainant’s boat.

Splashes from the Sea-Doos swamped the man’s boat with water, sending some items overboard and rendering his barbecue inoperable. The man’s vessel was even struck by one of the Sea-Doos.

OP-ED COLUMNIST

I’m not very fond of “I told you so” rhetoric, so I promise not to go there if the BC government bumbles the planning and implementation of oversight and licensing systems of cannabis distribution and sales when the federal Cannabis Act becomes law next year. The pro and con arguments have now moved on and it appears most Canadians are ready to accept marijuana legalization. (A 2016 Angus Reid Institute poll reveals that 75 percent of British Columbians say legalizing cannabis will do more good than harm.)

It seems to me our provincial MLAs lack a requisite understanding of Ottawa’s cannabis legalization proposal, especially relating to the administrative and regulatory duties imposed on the provinces.

This puts us behind the eight ball and come July 2018, our provincial government could experience a significant loss of potential revenue if there are any delays in completing oversight and licensing systems and policies.

This is an issue that crosses party lines and it is incumbent on all NDPs, Liberals and Greens to set the regulatory and policy wheels in motion soon.

The following recommend at ion s/st atement s

are specifically directed to our provincial government. Hopefully they will serve as a starting point for discussion among MLAs and ministry policy wonks.

1. All MLAs should get up to speed on the proposed legislation, particularly, what the provinces and territories are expected to license and oversee. It would be helpful to examine the experience of 8 US states where marijuana is legal for both medical and recreational use.

2. The revenue potential of legalized recreational marijuana should not be underestimated. In its third year of regulated sales, Colorado’s revenue exceeded $1 billion. By 2021 the state, whose population is 5.5 million, is expected to reach over $20 billion. That’s more than the joint revenues (no pun intended) of BC’s five largest crown corporations in 2016.

3. Considering the foregoing, the BC government should initiate a public consultation process or conduct a province-wide survey to decide how cannabis tax revenues are to be allocated.

4. The licensing and oversight of privatized cannabis distribution centres and retail outlets should fall under the bailiwick of the Ministry of Small Business, Red Tape Reduction.

Born on a log boom, raised by grizzlies Dear editor: I moved to Peachland from the Lower Mainland in 2015. After a lot of research I chose Peachland because it was the very best community on Okanagan lake.

My name is Nick Walsh. My tagline is - “Born on a log boom, raised by grizzlies”, and you’ll soon see why. I suffer no fools. I don’t tolerate political correctness. And, I make decisions based upon the greater good for the greater community.

As I read the Peachland View I begin to get an itch. I have not followed Peachland’s politics at all yet. That said, I am left wondering about the ulterior motives of councillors. When I read about PeachTree Village, the proposed five-story

building on Beach Avenue, I don’t know whether support for it is a purposeful act of community sedition, or an act of political suicide.

One thing is for sure. I am paying attention now, and will get more involved. I really didn’t want to have to get involved. I’m a full-time social media marketer. In case the current crop of councillors suffers the illusion they have no opposition, then think again. According to Facebook’s statistics for the 20 kilometre radius of downtown Peachland, I can bring 79,000 angry people down on you in just a few days. Look up the term ‘Democracy’, then govern yourselves accordingly.

Nick Walsh Peachland

Name and shame plaque for PeachTree Dear editor: This development was approved by council despite the fact that they acknowledge it does not follow the guidelines of the OCP, admit it will be an ‘eyesore’ (you just could not make it up!) and many residents contacting them expressing their views against it. In addition, I have heard from a reliable source that the OCP is not recommendations it is the official vision. Every person wanting to develop has to adhere to it, or it has to be changed. Therefore this bylaw

could be illegal.

There is now a petition being circulated protesting against it and would like to also suggest that a meeting is arranged to discuss the best way forward to get our grievances heard and fight its legality.

I have also spoken to an investigator representing the BC Ombudsman. She stated that concerned residents need to email their concerns to Elsie Lemke, the District’s chief administrative officer, at elemke@peachland.ca. and if the complainant is not satisfied then they can file a complaint

with the Ombudsman.

For reference the OCP guidelines can be found at https://peachland.civicweb. net/filepro/documents/48408.

CHILDREN ARE HEARD – Mayor Cindy Fortin visited Peachland Elementary on the last day of classes to chat with the students and check out their wish list for Peachland.

Many superb ideas came forth including a Dinosaur Park and a Petting Zoo.

Council paves way for six-storey buildings to line Beach Avenue Dear editor: Many Peachlanders will recall that in 2009 the District contracted with the UBC School of Architecture, Design Centre for Sustainability to conduct an intensive and protracted community consultation (the Charette process) designed to create the Downtown Sustainable Plan.

Important among the many design and sustainability issues incorporated into the plan were provisions affecting building height. Such matters had long been controversial with talk of 10 and 12 storey buildings in the downtown area. However, in addressing these issues through the Charette process, a strong consensus emerged that buildings of four, five, six, seven and eight storeys were appropriate when stepped back from Towne Lane to Highway 97, and that in the area between Beach Avenue and Towne Lane (and by extension Waldo Way) buildings should be limited to no more than three storeys. In 2011 that policy was explicitly included into the Official Community Plan.

Nevertheless, and despite councillor Condon’s best efforts to explain the problem to his council colleagues, in its desire to kickstart downtown development, council has approved the use of the CR-1 zone to facilitate development of the proposed PeachTree Village development at Beach Av-

enue and 4th Street. In doing so, council has ignored important elements of the Official Community Plan and opened the door for the downtown area of Beach Avenue to be lined end to end by six storey buildings fronting directly onto the sidewalk.

The CR-1 zone was created to facilitate the seniors housing project and allows for buildings of up to six storeys (65.5 ft). Consequently, any use of this zone in the area between Beach Avenue and the laneway behind: (i) disregards all of the work that was invested in arriving at a consensus as to how building height in the downtown fan should be managed, (ii) is automatically non-compliant with the OCP, and (iii) creates an irreversible precedent.

I am not opposed to the proposed mixed use development (although the bait and switch tactics adopted by this developer are particularly irritating) but I do take issue with the fact that council failed to seek a suitable way to facilitate this development through one of several other possible zoning approaches that would have been consistent with the OCP and would have avoided the six-storey Beach Avenue precedent it has now created.

It is not too late for council to fix this problem: shame on it if it does not.

PeachTree will ruin fond memories Dear editor:

As a visitor to Peachland I was strolling down Beach Ave when I happened to come across the sign giving details of the proposed Peachtree development. As a developer myself (Norwichestates.co.uk) from the UK, I laughed at the audacity of the property developer to propose such density on such a small site which no responsible town planner would ever approve, being totally our of keeping with the area and over development of the site. However, on further inquiry, I was astounded to be told this had

been approved by the District of Peachland and Council.

I just had to make my feelings clear because I have been enchanted by this charming town since visiting it back in 2009 and it is appalling that such a development should be approved. I do not think I will be back again, as I prefer to remember it just how it is now.

Objection over Omar Khadr’s $10M settlement DAN ALBAS

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

This decision by the Liberals to potentially pay in excess of $10 Million to Omar Khadr has created the largest amount of negative feedback and in many cases outrage, of any issue I have come across during my time in elected office. The questions I most frequently am asked is why did the Liberals offer this deal to Omar Khadr and what can be done to stop it?

At this point the Liberals have yet to formally confirm or explain the reasons behind this reported $10.5 Million payment. What we do know is that the

Supreme Court was of the opinion that Omar Khadr’s human rights were violated during the time he was in prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and that Canadians officials were aware of this.

It should be noted that the Supreme Court rulings on Omar Khadr’s human rights violations did not include any financial compensation. As a result Omar Khadr had commenced legal action against the Canadian Government suggesting it should be held responsible for the treatment he received at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. For reasons yet unknown rather than vigorously fight this lawsuit it is reported that the Liberals have instead offered $10.5 Million and an

apology to Omar Khadr to settle this legal claim.

So back to the original question, what can be done to stop this? In this case, only the Liberal Government can stop this agreement and related $10 Million payment from going forward. If that were to occur the legal case would most certainly continue. Most of the documented involvement of Canadian officials was between the years 2003 and 2004 under the Liberal Governments of former Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and later Paul Martin. If this case were to move forward it is conceivable the former actions of these governments would be heavily scrutinized.

Where’s our noise police?

Dear editor:

Kelowna RCMP are finally going to clamp down on loud exhausts.

It’s time for Peachland RCMP to do the same, to make sure it is well co-ordinated and effective.

The daily parade back and forth on Beach avenue in Peachland has to be the most obnoxious demonstration of contempt for people’s right to a quiet and peaceful environment to spend some quality time, and it has to stop.

Parading their bikes back and forth all day – constantly revving the engines to achieve even higher noise levels is beyond comprehension.

The bylaws have been in place for years, and they are as relevant today as they were at the time they were adopted, and as citizens we have a right to insist these issues will be addressed.

Allowing this extremely and offensive behavior to proliferate has also promoted some very aggressive driver attitudes.

Common courtesies and right-of-ways have become a thing of the past, and our highways are not safe to travel as a result of it.

Virtually every day people are injured or killed.

Federal Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations consider sounds in a workplace louder than 85 decibels to be hazardous.”

The noise levels in our streets and highways are far beyond that.

Those obscene noise levels have also become an issue of invasion of our privacy, denying us our right to enjoy home and property.

It’s hard core when we are in our homes, spending quality time with friends, or listening to our favourite music or TV programs, and our privacy is constantly being interrupted by radically excessive noises produced by motorcycles and motor vehicles that have been retrofitted with after-market flow-through exhaust pipes for no other reason but to generate more noise.

Andy Thomsen Peachland Marijuana extraction . . . from Page 4 This Ministry, which oversees the Liquor Distribution Branch is also responsible for supporting small businesses, and is well equipped to handle a multitude of issues associated with retail operations and distribution.

5. Privatized retail outlets, small or large, should be eligible for licensing if they pass enhanced security and financial background checks. A cross-ministry initiative utilizing BCLC’s Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch could be tasked to perform these checks as well as maintain regulatory oversight of the retail outlets. Privatizing the stores from the get-go is exceedingly more practical and less costly than waiting to do this in the future.

6. The implementation of a provincial cannabis licensing and oversight system involves a lot of planning. There are no cookie cutter models that we can simply replicate. Accordingly, it is recommended that the legislative assembly, early during the policy formulation stage, seeks the advice of the provincial auditor general about the creation of a workable objectives measurement template that can be used during future performance audits.

7. Above all, despite federal excise duty and markup, the BC provincial cannabis tax rate should not exceed the 10 to 15 percent rate—at least not for the first two years. Percentages higher than this will simply portray greed, and worse, encourage the continuation of underground sales.

Dog Training: Stop punishing and get proactive

CATHERINE ADAMS lar in an effort to stop DOG TRAINER

Human are a species whose natural behaviour is to react.

However, if we start to focus more on the good stuff going on around us, it changes our perspective and that is no different when it comes to our dog’s behaviour.

Those changes in our perspective can help prevent problem behaviour from occurring and encourage more wanted behaviour from our dogs.

For years, dog-training methods have taken a reactive approach by employing punishment. A perfect example is the leash ‘correction’.

This technique uses the leash to ‘pop’ the col-

the dog from doing the wrong behaviour as deemed by each individual guardian.

The idea was that the leash pop ‘told’ the dog it was wrong and therefore, to stop the behaviour. While this may have been used for years (with huge fall out), nobody ever thought to tell the dog when it was doing the right behaviour after it stopped doing the ‘wrong’ behaviour.

Imagine going through life getting punished regularly and never knowing when you’re doing the ‘right’ thing! Very stressful to say the least.

Thanks to ongoing scientific studies on dog behaviour and cognition, the dog training industry has

grown in another direction over the last 25 years: a kinder, more patient and proactive direction. This training method is referred to as ‘positive reinforcement’.

Positive reinforcement takes a proactive approach to training dogs that is both physical and mental on the part of the guardian.

Changing from a punitive mindset to a reward based one has its benefits: • Less unwanted behaviuor takes place • More trust from the dog in its guardian Theoretically, proactive means you see the right or wanted behaviour the dog is performing and reinforce it. It also means that you set the dog up for success in their environment to help them make the choice you want them to make: the right choice.

Start by focusing on your dog’s behaviour; see what you like and reinforce it. Look for all the good behaviours the dog is performing instead of waiting for the ‘bad’ ones to happen and subsequently reacting to them. When you reinforce good behaviours, you will see them more often.

That’s how reinforce-

ment works!

Remember too that dogs only do what works for them. If you continue to reward the ‘right’ behaviour, logically, the unwanted behaviour may naturally stop occurring because it no longer serves the dog. Why would the dog continue to do something that does not get rewarded in one way or another?

Here’s what proactive looks like: If a dog walks past the counter and doesn’t jump up like it often does, praising this lack of ‘counter cruising’ will reinforce the behaviour of NOT jumping up.

If a dog keeps all four paws on the ground when it greets its guardian or guest, praising the dog for having all four paws on the ground will reinforce NOT jumping.

Physically setting the dog up for success is also a proactive approach.

Examples would include: Removing food from the counter so your dog is not rewarded when he jumps up to ‘counter cruise’.

where it shouldn’t.

Giving a fearful dog some space thus preventing it from needing to bark and lunge at the end of the leash.

Punitive methods are still heavily practiced much to the detriment of dogs but thanks to the internet,

guardians can search for ‘positive reinforcement’ methods and start taking a kinder approach to training; training that results in more trust from the dog in the guardian and fewer behavioural problems caused by punishment and the resulting emotion of

fear.

Getting proactive can mean the difference between a happy dog and a fearful one.

Take the time to practice a proactive approach and if you need training help, seek out a dog trainer that takes a ‘do no harm’ approach.

Peachland Heritage Pier Raffle Pitching a Story Stage in Peachland BRUCE KLIPPENSTEIN

OKANAGAN TOWN CRIER

CHRIS SOUTHIN

PEACHLAND PIER GROUP The Heritage Pier Society, the Lions Club, Peachland Sportsman’s Association and Rotary Club are on the last leg of fundraising for the Heritage pier. As you know for the last year and a half they have been developing plans for the “Heritage Pier Project” to be built in front of the park. The pier will give better fishing during the Sportsman’s Association Fishing Forever derby which is enjoyed by so many disadvantaged persons from all over the Okanagan. For the rest of us it will be an enjoyable place to walk in the evening and an extension of the Centennial Walk Way. The Pier Society has all the required permits in place for construction to begin. Construction can start as soon as the budget required is achieved. Because of the recent flooding the Pier Society is considering delaying the start of CPB Logo Formats construction into the new year.

A budget of $400,000 has been CMYK Version M=100 Y=100 K=35 set for the project. ToC=25date over

half the funds have been raised.

The Peachland Heritage Pier raffle currently underway will add another $20,000. The raffle draw takes place on July 27.

It has a first prize of two tickets anywhere Westjet flies which now includes Ireland and the UK. Only 2,000 tickets were printed so someone could easily win a fabulous prize as well as making a contribution to the pier itself.

Ticket sales end before July 27.

Some tickets for the raffle are still available. Members of the Pier Society, the Lions, Rotary and Sportsman’s clubs all have tickets to sell before the draw date. When we have finished selling all the tickets it will make a significant increase in funds available for the project. You can help by purchasing one of the raffle tickets.

Get your raffle ticket from one of the members from the three clubs. Look for members of the three clubs at IGA. Don’t miss out on buying your ticket before they are all sold. Better yet seek one of them out Pantone at their home and buy Version Pantone=195C your ticket.

In a previous article, I had mentioned the idea of having a Story Stage in Peachland. I have since developed a few ideas that could make it an interesting and exciting addition to our tourism promotion. A catchy name for the promotion, might be “Speechland in Peachland,” as a destination concept for neighbouring communities and tourists. Here are some other ideas to bring it to life.

Concept To develop a physical stage, with sound system, likely in Heritage Park, to promote Tourism through: Specific Scheduled & Unscheduled Speaking Events Speaker • CRY for audience attention – Ok. Town Crier • Reciting today’s and upcoming events in Peachland Visitor Centre • Tales of the Ogopogo Ok. Town Crier • Tales of Bat Benefits (mosquito-free, fertilizer, etc) Lady Bat • Scheduled Peachland History stories – Historian • Tourist attractions in the area – Visitor Centre • Storytelling by professional Storytellers – Invited Guests • Open story-telling and Poetry readings – Public • Speech competitions EG Toastmasters – Groups Black Version C=0 M=0• Y=0 K=100 Tall-Tale competitions

Groups/Open • “Speaking Through Music” exhibitions – Approved Application • Demonstrations on “How To” EG sailboard – Approved Application • Open Advocacy Times – reserved time slots – Approved Application • Wine awareness and education demonstrations Local wineries • Local businesses promote their specialties – Merchants Story Stage is not a “Speakers’ Corner” That concept relies on general public volunteering to speak on any topic they wish at any time. It requires constant monitoring for lawful appropriate topics and content.

In Canada, it has been shown also to be ineffective. One Canadian city set up a Speakers Corner, that was based on the original in Hyde Park, London, including elements directly from England. It has mostly been ignored by the Public.

Ingredients for Success Scheduled events, on topics of interest to both locals and tourists; Timely Topics, delivered with flair (Town Crier, Lady Bat); Visitor Centre participation, including scheduling and approving all speakers; Invite Professional Storytellers (there are many) to give a complimentary presentation as a means to promote themselves;

• Support • Training • Payroll • Bookkeeping • Income Tax

renovation & remodeling

We specialize in basement renovations including drywall repair, painting, laminate, tile, vanities, custom shower, kitchen cabinetry & more!

Work with Speaking groups (various Toastmasters clubs) to give them an unique forum to strut their stuff and promote future members; Work with local tourist attractions to give them opportunity to demonstrate their wares; Work with local wineries to have them promote knowledge about wines in general and theirs in particular, as well as promote visits to their premises; Invite Entertainers appearing in Kelowna and Penticton to give informal street concerts in return for meals in local restaurant/wineries.

Invite local merchants to promote their special services, products and events.

If one of the Peachland service clubs wants to pick “Peachland in Speechland” as a project, I would be pleased to assist – as a former Toastmaster, I could promote the idea to various clubs and their District.

With the flooding threat just past, we now have many more rocks along our shores than before. If local artists were interested, we could also have a project to have them paint extraneous rocks along the shore, say every Summer morning, and sell the rocks directly by the artist, and in the Tourist Centre or any business.

Great tourist draw – painted rocks instead of murals. Call it “Peachland Shor’ Rocks!”
