FOBA withdraws legal challenge VIEW STAFF

MARTIN WEILMEIER

The Friends of Beach Avenue (FOBA) has decided against taking the District of Peachland to court. The group filed a petition last November hoping the B.C.’s Supreme Court would deny the municipal government’s ability to contradict the Official Community Plan. The issue was over PeachTree Village – a five Arson at Mt. Boucherie/3 storey development that was proposed on a lot of land that used to have a maximum building height Pincushion flag is stuck/5 of three storeys. “This comprehensive and well thought out OCP had definitive language stating that no buildings shall be taller than 3 storeys on Beach Avenue,” reads FOBA’s press release. Aside from Coun. Terry Condon (and eventually Coun. Mario Vucinivic), the rest of council was willing to make a compromise to accommodate the developer. Curiosity Music Festival “This construction photos/8 would not be in character with the friendly town feel Peachlander’s have come to know as their town,” FOBA stated. But OCPs can be amended as long as a public hearing has been held.

So before the issue could make it to court, District council watered down the language in the document, changing the word “establish” to “encourage” where it says a maximum of three storeys. “It was at this point that FOBA, after consultation with our lawyer, decided to reconsider the likelihood of a successful Petition. Our Petition forcing the change did however, show that the District Council was likely in contravention of their own bylaw and moved to comply with this amendment.” Mayor Cindy Fortin said she was hopeful the matter wouldn’t end up making it to the courts, though she was confident it wouldn’t have succeeded anyway. “I’m happy to hear they’ve withdrawal their court case,” she said. “This is good for taxpayers and good for the community. All this negativity is really hurting the community.” And while the case won’t be brought before a judge, CAO Elsie Lemke said the issue still cost the District money since legal services were called upon, though the price tag wasn’t big. The group fundraised large amounts of cash to fund the lawsuit, including $1,540 through their GoFundMe page. Fortin said if there is any money left, she hopes it will be shared with a local charity.

Oasis wine & cheese opening JANET HORNSETH The Peachland Art Gallery hosted the Oasis Art Show for the third year on Friday, June 29. There were 216 entries from 83 Canadian Federation Artists of which 74 were accepted from 47 artists. Those 74 were then juried by three jurors from Kamloops, Vernon and Vancouver. The 175 invited guests enjoyed the musical renderings of “Sax Among Friends” featuring the very talented Don Wade & Mel Zachary and had an opportunity to view the prize winning works. Among the guests were Mayor Cindy Fortin, our MLA

Dan Ashton, our MP Dan Albas, Councillor Terry Condon and 41 participating artists including our very own Frances Stocks, a Peachland artist. The outdoor space in front of the historic school provided a fabulous venue with many commenting on our beautiful lake view. The exhibition received rave reviews from all who attended and we encourage everyone to make sure they stop in at the gallery to view it. The gallery is open daily from 9 to 5, this exhibition runs until July 30 and the weekends will be staffed by our dedicated volunteers as well as participating artists who are more than happy to answer any questions visitors may have.

“It’s amazing to see the next generation starting to give back.” Alex, Guest from Calgary, AB Alex grew up in a lower-income neighbourhood of Calgary and attributes much of his success to the role models in his community. Now Alex is a role model himself, and with the strong relationship he’s built with his local Tim Hortons, he’s been able to give back in amazing ways, like organizing the world’s longest hockey game, which raised over four million dollars for Alberta Children’s Hospital. But no matter how much money he raises, the thing he’s most proud of is that he inspires the youth in his community to want to give back, too.

RCMP believe wildfire Province ponders basic income WALTON was an act of arson DAN EDITOR VIEW STAFF Police believe that a wildfire earlier this week on Mt. Boucherie was started on purpose. “A preliminary examination of the scene suggests that the fires were human caused and are believed to be deliberately set,” said RCMP Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Physical evidence has been recovered from the scene, which will be part of the still ongoing police investigation.” The call came in at 5:11 p.m. on Monday night, when West Kelowna RCMP received a report of visible smoke pluming multiple fires on Mt. Boucherie, just above Ponderosa Road. Firefighters were already on scene extinguishing the fire when police arrived. The RCMP and Fire Department are working

together to conduct a full examination of the scene. “Police now confirm that a total of six separate fire set locations were extinguished by fire fighters.” A man believed to be connected to the fires was taken into custody near the scene. He was questioned and released without charge, for now. Officers briefly spoke with up to four witnesses who were hiking in the area, but they took off before detailed information could be fully obtained. Police are urging those witnesses to speak with them again. Anybody else who witnessed the event or has information is also being asked to come forward. Call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250768-2880, or remain completely anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

RCMP are hoping the public can help them identify a dead body they found in West Kelowna. Donald James Irvine, 52, was found on the afternoon of June 24 down an embankment in a rural area north of Bartley Road. The cause of death was not apparent. Foul play is not believed to be a factor, but investigators believe Irvine died in another location before his corpse was relocated. “Anyone who knew Mr. Irvine or saw him after 10 p.m. on June 22 is asked to contact the West Kelowna RCMP,” said Cpl. Meghan Foster.

The provincial government might give money away to people who won’t work for it. As per a deal with the BC Green Party, the government will begin research this summer on a basic income pilot. The goal is to reduce poverty and prepare the population for the effects automation will have on the emerging economy. “Amidst trends like automation, parttime and contract work, the nature of our economy and the

jobs within it are rapidly shifting,” said BC Green leader Andrew Weaver. “There is strong evidence that basic income can provide greater income security, while saving costs in other areas. We proposed exploring how basic income could work in B.C., because government should have a plan for the changes on the horizon. The panelists are highly qualified, knowledgeable and creative thinkers. I am excited to work with them on this innovative project.” A committee will be chaired by Da-

vid Green from the Vancouver School of Economics at UBC. “Much of my work centres on policies that can reduce inequality

University hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Enough is enough

Dear editor: Happy Canada Day! My name is Sherry Mortensen, I am 67 years sold and have lived in Peachland for 45 years. This is the first time I have written to The View. Let’s get on with enjoying Peachland. Were they right in changing the OCP to five stories? No but it’s done – move forward. Time will tell whether or not the right decision was made. Cutting down the beautiful tree by Bliss and 13th Avenue – again right or wrong? It is done.

Hopefully, we won’t see that happen again. Did the municipality plant the right grass on the promenade? ABSOLUTELY NOT! It looks terrible and blocks everything else out. Did they plant the right trees on the promenade? ABSOLUTELY NOT! They were told they were the wrong variety but did it anyway. For the record, if the municipality tries to extend the promenade from Bliss to TODDS TENT TOWN myself, my whole family and numerous other Peachlanders will form a human barricade to stop

the process. LEAVE THE BEACH ALONE that is one of many natural beautiful spots in Peachland. We do not need tons of boulders spread on these shores. Enjoy the natural beauty. Would I vote for the Mayor and any of the councilor again? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I give all of you credit for your time and effort, but you should listen to the citizens of Peachland. We live in the greatest town in the world, please don’t destroy it. Sherry Mortensen Peachland

Whose brilliant idea was it? Dear editor: On Canada Day, I left church and was anticipating a quick hamburger from the Rotarians or Lions Club before helping to set up the children’s shirt painting in Heritage Park at noon. Much to my disappointment, these two clubs had been told not to start until 3 to 4 p.m., presumably so the local businesses would service the noon crowd.

Some thought the directive came from the town but a municipal councillor was as surprised as I was about the situation. Then whose brilliant idea was it? These two service clubs are run by dedicated volunteers who give back so much to our community. There was enough business to go around without this self serving maneuverer. Phyllis Papineau Peachland

so 77 countries use it. The most stable governments, like the UK, have used FPTP for hundreds of years successfully, to create long standing democracies with the majority of seats moving from Left of Centre to Right of Centre regularly to effectively control the speed of change in social, economic and tax policies. Canadians across the board of all political and ethnic backgrounds consider Canada the “Best Country” in the world. We have stable - government, economy, employment, business environment and the rule of law prevails, under our first past the post electoral system and the Westminster Parliamentary System. Within the three major parties there is plenty of room for all voices to be heard. Under Proportional Representation and Coalitions the policy is dictated to the majority by the fringe, the radical, and the extreme members of often single purpose political parties. Change to a risky unproven and undemocratic mixed proportional representation system from the stable and trusted governance system used by the best country in the world makes no sense except to the minority, the fringe, the radical and the extreme in it. Vote NO to the “Proportional Representation” proposal of the NDP/ Green Coalition. We have the best Democratic Country, changing how we vote will diminish not improve it! Doug Waines West Kelowna

Low lifes should have to clean up after themselves Dear editor: This made news last week and I am sorry I never read it earlier. I would have helped out with the clean up. My question arising from this headline is why did we not

Ironic t-shirt wasn’t funny Dear editor: On July 1st – Canada Day – my husband and I joined many others at the Peachland Pancake Breakfast at the Seniors Centre. Families with young children were at the tables, as well as middle aged and elderly people all enjoying breakfast together. There in the midst I noticed a man (approximately 30 years old) talking to others of his age: he was wearing a grey t-Shirt with large black lettering on the front that read “Polite As F**k” – each large lettered word on it’s own line. Why was this disgustingly rude person allowed in to have breakfast with the rest of us? Why didn’t the person taking the money ask him to use the washroom to turn his dis-

gusting T-Shirt inside out ??? Why? … Because anyone this badly mannered would have created a scene, probably declaring that “This is Canada Day and I’m exercising my right to free speech.” Clearly he exercised very bad Canadian mis-judgement. He was totally inappropriate and should not have been allowed breakfast with the other people who were politely mindful of the young children present, who were enjoying their Canada Day pancake breakfast with parents and grandparents. The offender may have been “Polite As F**k” but he was not as Polite As A Canadian ! Mary Trueman West Kelowna

Albas tables Bill C-410 to protect disabled Canadians DAN ALBAS

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Dan.Albas@parl.gc.ca

It is often said that time flies on the Government side of the house but moves much more slowly when in opposition. I mention this as last week marked the six year anniversary since my first private members bill became law. Bill C-311 removed prohibition era federal restrictions that blocked direct to consumer shipping of wine. In the last Parliament, the Conservative Government used a similar mechanism to also include craft beer and artisan spirits, all in an effort to open up our borders to increased inter-provincial trade. A private members bill or motion is one of many ways than an MP can introduce legislation to help benefit the riding we represent. In the case of my former bill, many Okanagan wineries were frustrated at the inability to even be able to legally sell to citizens who visited their winery in person from other provinces as it was illegal to transport that wine home across a provincial border. More recently, Credit Unions, of which we have many in our community, faced a threat from the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions that would have banned Credit Unions from using terms such as bank, banking or banker. After hearing of this problem, I wrote several MP reports on the subject and heard almost unanimous feedback. In some cases, even outrage at the thought of the long arm of Ottawa attacking Credit Unions in this way. In response to this feedback, I tabled another private members bill, Bill C-379, that called for the Bank Act to be amended to ensure that Credit Unions could continue to use these terms without fear of reprisal from Ottawa. I was particularly pleased when an Independent Senator, appointed by the Prime Minister, contacted me with an interest to potentially

sponsor my bill in the Senate. Fortunately, and full credit to the Liberal Government, they essentially included the spirit of my bill in their recent Budget Implementation Act. This will ensure Credit Unions and Caisse Populaires (as they are known as in Quebec) will no longer face this threat. Last week, before the House of Commons adjourned, I tabled my latest Private Members Bill. Bill C-410 proposes to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act to protect Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) and Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSP) from seizure by creditors in the case of bankruptcy or insolvency. RESPs and RDSPs are important saving tools for Canadians living with disabilities and for families saving for their children’s education. Currently a trustee in bankruptcy can permit creditors to seize the holdings of any RESP or RDSP in the event that the account owner files for bankruptcy. By extension this can include accounts dedicated to provide care for severely disabled children. It can also include education accounts for children. Bill C-410 will prevent this from happening in a similar way as how Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) and Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIF) are protected now. I was honoured to hear that the Canadian Association of Social Workers has responded positively to Bill C-410, however as Parliament is currently adjourned, it is unclear if the Liberals and NDP will be supportive of my new bill. I will continue to solicit input from industry, citizens and Parliamentarians over the summer recess. To that end, my question this week: Are you supportive of Bill-410, proposing to protect families dealing with the high costs of caring for a family member with disabilities and for parents who want the best possible education for their children?

Hi Peachlanders: For the last couple of years, I’ve been provided a flag for Pincushion by our local Member of Parliament Dan Albas. I change the flag every year on Canada Day. Unfortunately, I couldn’t change it this year, I noticed someone had bolted the post making it impossible to bring the pole down to change the flag. I’m sure it was a good intention but I would like to be able to change it in near future as it will get weathered. If by any chance you know the person that bolted the post I would like to talk to him/ her so I can have their insight on how to bring the post down again so I can change the flag. Please contact Annick at 250-767-7771. Annick Stoltz Pincushion Ambassador

B.C.’s ambulance system is woefully inadequate and too many patients are paying a deadly price

The above map says it all; Albertans have been getting vastly more capable ambulance care than British Columbians for decades. If your loved ones find themselves in dire need of urgent or critical EMS care anywhere in B.C. and the require timely advanced medical intervention to save their lives or prevent permanent injury, then they are in the wrong province. Why? Because nurses and doctors in B.C. are NOT legally allowed to work outside of hospitals and our province has an insufficient number of Advanced Life Support paramedics, all based in urban areas. Not one is stationed in rural BC. B.C. Emergency Health Services, BC’s sole legal ambulance/emergency medical services provider, employs just 240 ALS paramedics province-wide on just 22 ALS ambulances. That’s less than one-tenth the 2,668 ALS paramedics registered in Alberta, which has 500,000 fewer residents and one-third less land area. The very limited ALS capability BCEHS has provides timely advanced EMS care in only 14 of BC’s largest communities. Just 22 of BCEHS’s 550 ambulances are Advanced Life Support paramedic-staffed - less than 5% of the entire BCEHS’s ambulance fleet. The remaining 95% are staffed by only Basic Life Support-qualified attendants. Are you OK with that level of protection for your loved ones? FACT: In 1974, B.C.’s NDP government made it illegal for doctors and nurses to work on ambulances. At the same time it became illegal for fully-qualified and licenced firefighters, police officers and other first responders to provide full-spectrum EMS care. The law prevents all medical professionals and about 21,650 other first responders who are not among BCEHS’s 3,750 ambulance attendants from providing even a critical care needs patient with anything more than an Industrial First Aid level of prehospital care. Under no circumstances are any other first responders allowed to transport a patient to a hospital, even if that means moving a potentially dying patient into the emergency room from the hospital parking lot! How does such a bizarre law assure best possible patient outcomes on what could be the worst day of their lives? This law has to be amended. FACT: There is no question that modern rapid-response ambulance/EMS systems save societies which employ them far more than they cost, especially those with socialized health care systems like ours. The soonest possible provision of definitive medical intervention provides pain relief and can reverse the effects of many potentially fatal conditions such as: trauma and blood loss, heart attack/stroke, breathing issues or accidental drug overdose, as well dramatically reduce long-term societal medical care costs, loss of income, lower insurance payouts, lower worker’s compensation costs, etc., and of course, save more lives. The easiest and lowest-cost patients to save, of any branch of the health care system, are those who present in the prehospital setting with treatable but time-sensitive conditions. FACT: If a patient is located off a main road, or down a 30 degree (or greater) slope, or in water, deep snow, etc., BCEHS ambulance attendants, by their employment agreement, will not attend to your loved one, they must wait for local firefighters, if available, or volunteer search and rescue crews, to bring the patient to the ambulance - even if the ambulance is located only a few metres away. This insane policy clearly results in delayed treatment, and for some patients, this could make the difference between life and death.

DORIS MUHS

Fraser Health: 8

FACT: BCEHS has just four dedicated medical helicopters (two based in Richmond, one in Kamloops, one in Prince Rupert) to cover 944,000 square kilometres of land area. As a result, the vast majority of B.C.’s sickest and most injured patients have to rely on ground ambulances for transport to a hospital. Medical air rescue helicopters typically travel four to five times faster than the fastest ground ambulance and their widespread use has been commonplace in dozens of western countries for many decades, but not in most areas of B.C. For urgent-care needs patients in rural areas, where it can take hours to return patients to hospitals, given the extreme distances and adverse road conditions at certain times of the year, BCEHS’s chosen 44-yearold EMS model can be a death sentence even if the patient has a completely treatable condition. Given that all British Columbians pay the same taxes, and that more than 80% of BC’s export and tourism wealth comes from rural B.C., patient location must no longer be allowed to determine the timeliness or level of EMS care they get in their desperate time of need. FACT: It would only cost British Columbians just five cents per person, per day to finally move to a fully-modern, high-functioning, highly capable EMS model - just like other western jurisdictions have had for many decades - one that serves everybody equally, regardless of where they live, work or play. FACT: For 44 years, B.C.’s prehospital care/ambulance services have been grossly under-staffed, under-trained and under-resourced and our sickest and most injured loved ones continue to pay a high price as a result of successive government neglect. All government stakeholders, our health authorities and our provincial politicians have known about this deadly flaw in our EMS model for decades and have chosen to do nothing. Are you OK with that? If not, contact your MLA and tell them you demand changes now. Remind them they live in the same communities as you do and that their loved ones are equally at risk of dying from completely treatable conditions or injuries. Then also remind them that an election is coming up. Join us at BC HEROS in this fight and help us save lives.

FANTASTIC DOUBLE RAINBOW – When a double rainbow appeared overtop of Okanagan Lake, View reader Tracie Gordon captured this photo of the natural phenomenon from her deck on July 2. DID YOU KNOW... A

double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops creates the secondary rainbow. And you may have noticed that the colours of the secondary rainbow are reversed from the colours of the primary rainbow. Since more light escapes from two reflections and is spread over a larger area of the sky, the secondary rainbow is also fainter than the primary rainbow.

Dog- Female Doberman

Cia

came to us as a result of a cruelty investigation. This sweet girl is very affectionate and playful. She is a big goofball and still needs to learn some manners. She loves to kiss you right in your face and tends to be a little jumpy when she’s excited, which is most of the time! Cia will require an experienced guardian who has knowledge of the Doberman breed.
