Premier Christy Clark kept her personal viewpoint private when asked which of the bypass or improvement options would be best for the future of Highway 97.

“I know there’s a lot of debate about how to fix it,” she told The View. “But I think we will get to a solution and Dan (Ashton, local MLA) is going to help make sure we steer that solution in the right direction, but I’m not going to impose an opinion on it, because then wherever we end up, people will think that I made it happen rather than listening to

the people.”

Clark was asked about the highway while campaigning in the riding on Tuesday afternoon at Bad Tattoo Brewery in Penticton.

Similar to comments made by Ashton and employees of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Clark said the government is giving Peachland autonomy over the future of Highway 97.

“I want to do what the community wants,” she said, “and it’s probably going to be a tough decision because I know the commnity is really undecided about it, but I want to make sure we make the right decision so I’m really trying not to impose myself on it .

Beyond the highway, voters who prefer a

“bigger economy, not a bigger government” should reelect Ashton, she said.

In the face of rising American protectionism, the Donald Trump administration is “going after our forest industry;” it already went after our dairy industry, while apples, cherries and wine could all be next, Clark warns.

“We cannot let British Columbia be at risk.”

The Liberal Party’s efforts are about making things “better for the next generation,” she said.

Later that day in Kelowna, Clark said she loves how everybody there is happy and “Nobody’s got anything to complain about.”

Voters go to the polls on Tuesday.

Auxiliary proud of new CAT PAT GRIEVE

PRESIDENT OF PEACHLAND AUXILIARY Five members of the Peachland Auxiliary to Kelowna General Hospital attended a major event on Thursday, when the new CAT scanner was unveiled.

This state of the art machine was purchased with funds raised by the four auxiliaries which raise money for the Foundation – Peachland, Kelowna, Rutland and Winfield. At a cost of over $1.6 million dollars, the scanner’s purchase price was pledged to be raised by these four groups over three years, and in the words of Nancy Wells, Foundation business manager, “I knew when we discussed the

acquisition of a scanner for the Emergency Department, that the Auxiliaries would come through with the funds.

We cannot thank them enough.”

The proximity of the scanner to the Emergency Dept. enables the exam to be only a one minute walk away instead of the much longer time it took to get to the Diagnostic Im-

aging Dept. The new machine will increase the screening time significantly; scans can be done in seconds rather than minutes. The two scanners already installed perform about 110 scans a day, so with this third machine, numbers will increase.

After a training period, the new scanner is expected to be in use by early July.

Politicians promising to improve childcare DAN WALTON EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

The NDP and Green Party are promising to make childcare more affordable for all parents in B.C., whereas the Liberal Party believes childcare subsidies should be circumstantial.

The BC Green Party, albeit unlikely to form a majority government, are promising to steeply reduce the cost of raising kids.

Their offer is free daycare for children under 3; free early childhood education for 3 and 4 year olds up to 25 hours each week; and $500 per month for families with children under 3 with one parent who stays at home.

The BC NDP are pledging to subsidize all parents by offering $10-a-day childcare, though it will take 10 years to phase in.

The Green and NDP’s childcare promises are addressing the affordability of childcare, whereas the Liberals are putting more focus on increasing availability. They’re promising to add up to 13,000

new childcare spaces by 2020, however, the number of new childcare spaces being added into each riding won’t be known until well after the election.

Meghan Simpson, a local mom to an 8-year-old boy, doesn’t necessarily agree with the Green Party’s idea to pay stay-at-home parents.

“It kind of sounds like a pipe dream,” she said. “I agree that if you have children you should pay to take care of them.”

However, she does see value in public funding for childcare and has benefited from subsidies in the past. Had childcare not been available, Simpson may have had to claim social assistance in order to take care of her son, in which case “we’re just billing the government in a different way.”

In her experience, Simpson said most childcare centres seem to charge comparable rates, but finding an open space is a biggest challenge than affordability.

Most parents seem to rely on family friends

You are the missing piece.

Participate

and the Boys and Girls Club, she said.

“The Boys and Girls Club has been a huge help.”

Simpson said she generally votes NDP but plans on doing a little more research before deciding who to support this year.

“We just want to be able to put food on the table and pay our rent and be home at the end of the day for our kids.”

The Liberal Party claims the NDP and Green’s plan will cost taxpayers $1.5 billion each year, compared to their plan which costs $352.5 million annually.

“Imagine – a child care system where people making a million dollars a year qualify for a handout from your tax dollars,” said local Liberal candidate Dan Ashton.

“What’s worse, under the BC Greens’ plan, even millionaires would pay nothing at all.”

While the NDP would be investing more in childcare, it would be subsidizing parents who can already afford to pay it, Ashton said.

The NDP’s promise is “a wonderful idea but it’s not going to work,” Ashton said during the all candidates forum last month in Peachland.

“Incredible suggestion. But $10-a-day childcare is not affordable for this province.”

The NDP must do their math differently,

because they believe their $10-a-day childcare plan would pay for itself by enabling more parents to enter the work force, creating nearly 70,000 more jobs for British Columbians.

“When child care is unavailable, it actually negatively impacts the economy,” said local NDP candidate Tarik Sayeed. “Parents are being forced to make difficult decisions - like staying at home from work, paying high costs that they can’t afford, and enrolling in childcare that doesn’t meet their needs.”

Voters go to the polls on Tuesday.

We can do better than FPTP From the Mayor’s Desk Dear Editor: If you were cynical about how our politicians have turned their backs on the people only to serve their own personal and political interests, you would probably be thinking ‘another election – another parade of liars.’

Our electoral system has corrupted our politicians systemically, and an election today is nothing but an opportunity to destroy the integrity of well meaning, community minded citizens.

None of these good people were natural liars, but our colonial electoral system has opened the doors for party and government Leaders to control virtually everything our elected Members say and do.

In order to be allowed on the ballot to be nominated to represent the party in an election, candidates today must have the endorsement of their party Leader.

In return for that endorsement the candidate must agree to ignore the people who elected them, and instead act and vote as directed by the party Leader, or be booted out of the party, to serve the rest of his or her term as an independent Member of the Legislature.

Its called Party Discipline, and it has eradicated the democratic process in our federal and provincial Legislatures.

During an election, the candidates are all telling us

how they are going to work very hard to bring resolution to our many concerns and issues.

In reality, and as soon as the election is behind us, those well-meaning citizens will be getting all of their directions from their party and government leaders, and the people who elected them will continue to get the proverbial one-finger salute.

Our politicians have become arrogant and corrupt beyond belief, and voters are becoming disillusioned, wondering when and how this insanity will end.

Millions of Canadians, including politicians from all parties, recognize that we desperately need a different ballot but, our Prime Minister who was elected to protect our democratic institutions has defiantly and blatantly denied us that ballot.

That is nothing less than an incredible insult to the people who in good faith responded to his commitment to adopt a more inclusive electoral system that would restore consensus based decision making.

While the BC Liberals are promising us the moon, (last election it was a province with no debt) the provincial NDP and the Green party are both promising us a Proportional ballot, but a cynic would insist it’s just another lie.

Andy Thomsen Peachland

CINDY FORTIN

MAYOR OF PEACHLAND Hello everyone. It’s great that May is finally here. While we need the precipitation in our drier, semi-arid region, I think it’s safe to say we have all had enough of the wet weather and are ready for some sunshine. On that note, let’s hope for some warmer weather this year for the May long weekend and for the big World of Wheels Car Show on May 21st.

I would like to take this time to sincerely thank everyone for their patience with the lengthy Boil Water Notice. I certainly understand the frustration of many residents and businesses. Council feels it too, as we are all residents of this community, and boil water notices should never have to go on for as long as we’ve had to endure, especially in the last couple of years.

The mudslide just above our water intake, into the creek from which we draw the water for the Peachland creek system, really stirred things up, causing high levels of turbidity. That, coupled with the annual spring run-off, means that it is taking a little longer to see the turbidity numbers to go down. The District is continuing to monitor and test the water, with no positive results for harmful bacteria or other pathogens.

However, Interior Health requires that the boil water notice remain in place until turbidity levels remain below a certain level for several days before the notice can be lifted. Better to err on the side of caution. This is the reason the Trepanier water system is also on a boil water notice.

Living in a somewhat rural area where we draw our water from creeks does mean that we are faced with situations like this, and I think most people realize that, and again I thank you for your patience.

Having said that, I also believe that we all have the right to clean, safe drink-

ing water, which is why this Council has been determined to get our new water treatment plant built. It is why we’ve been pushing the higher levels of government to approve the much-needed grant funding to get on with this. Peachland residents have waited long enough!

But it does come with an $18 million-plus price tag -- a cost that our small community cannot go alone. The good news is we were successful in getting a grant last month so we can finally move forward. The $6.9 million grant will not cover the entire project, but that, combined with $7.6 million that we have in reserves, and the just over $4 million of long-term borrowing will get us there. Detailed design and geotech work is currently underway. Following that, it will go out to tender and we hope to break ground in 2018. There will be more information on this in an upcoming quarterly newsletter. There will also be an open house in the fall.

Regarding the much-anticipated seniors housing, we hope to have shovels in the ground on this project later this year. The Peachland Seniors Support Society (PSSS) members have been receiving some inquiries about when potential residents can begin to sign up for a unit in the building. Some residents have heard that there is already a waiting list. This is not the case. The Society is not at that point and will announce it when the time comes.

I believe the confusion stems from having two senior housing societies, of slightly different names. The Seniors’ Housing Society manages the two existing senior residences -- Sutherland Court and Alexandria Court. I understand that those two residences do have a waiting list. But it is not the new 70plus units about to be built between 5th and 6th street, across from the Community Centre. No sign-up list has started for these yet. I hope that clears up any confusion.

OPINION

Trophy hunting shouldn’t be a Green Party value Dear Mr. Andrew Weaver: We are ardent environmentalists and have been dismayed at how the political parties in this province have condoned the exploitation of our natural resources and wild animal populations. We had decided, therefore, to vote for the Green party as your values seem to coincide with ours.

However, we have recently reviewed your policy regarding Grizzly Bear Trophy Hunting and realize that you support this butchery. You state your policy will allow trophy hunters to continue to kill Grizzly Bears for sport as long as they pack all of the meat out of the bush. We are appalled that you are unable or unwilling to take a stand against this barbaric practice at the risk of offending trophy hunters and losing their votes.

Surely you understand that people who kill animals for sport are not the population that would be voting for the Green par-

NDP signs look gross

ty anyways. We also know trophy hunting is big business and a lot of revenue can be made for governments if they allow trophy hunting to continue unabated.

Obviously your party is as greedy as the rest of them and money speaks louder to you than your conscience.

Many British Columbians are getting very serious about protesting this senseless, inhumane killing and you are going to get left far behind if you continue to tout such non-progressive policies. Protecting our environment and wildlife and promoting eco-tourism is the “new way”. As an article by Dene Moore of the Canadian Press

states: “…a recent study from Stanford University found that bear viewing contributes 10 times as much revenue and employment as hunting. ‘The ethical argument is clear - killing for sport and amusement is unacceptable and, a lot of people would say, outright immoral’”.

The quote is from Chris Genovali, executive director of the Rainforest Foundation.

The Green Party will not be getting our vote as there is nothing “green” about slaughtering animals for fun or profit.

Sincerely,

The following contest rules will apply.

One contest entry per person. Prizes must be accepted as awarded.

Personal information and email addresses will not be sold. The chances of winning depend on the number of entries received.

BC GREENS: C+ Positives: Andrew Weaver is the only party leader to use the phrase “craft cannabis” and to acknowledge the importance of cannabis growers to BC’s local economy. He has expressed concern about BC’s cannabis industry being taken over by “big multinationals.” Says he supports cannabis being sold in a manner similar to “craft breweries,” but also from liquor stores and pharmacies.

Negatives: Weaver has not explained how he will protect BC’s craft cannabis industry when licenses will be issued by the federal government. Has not pledged to immediately stop possession arrests.

BC NDP: C+ Positives: John Horgan has called legalization “overdue” and says “there are people of all walks of life who prefer to have a pull on a joint or eat a biscuit, rather than a martini, to unwind.” Last year Horgan sent two MLAs to Washington and Oregon to study their legal cannabis systems.

Horgan has met with dispensary operators to discuss the role of dispensaries under legalization.

Horgan says he supports cannabis being sold from many outlets, with a model that is “a hybrid” of private beer and wine stores, pharmacies, cannabis dispensaries, liquor stores and the craft beer model.

Horgan has said cannabis taxes need to be low so that legal cannabis can compete.

Many NDP MLA’s, including Melanie Mark, Nicholas Simons, Spencer Herbert, Rob Fleming and others, have worked to support their local cannabis dis-

pensaries over the years.

Negatives: Horgan has not discussed BC’s craft cannabis industry, and has not pledged to immediately stop possession arrests. The party has not included cannabis policy in their election platform.

BC LIBERALS: D Positives: None. Christy Clark has not committed herself to any sort cannabis policy at all.

Negatives: Despite holding power for 16 years, the BC Liberals have never once seriously talked about cannabis policy.

They have offered no comment on the spread of dispensaries, and completely ignored the 2013 Sensible BC campaign which collected over 200,000 signatures in 90 days to support decriminalization in BC. Clark says the legal age for cannabis in BC should be “at least 19” and has suggested it could be higher. “Just like alcohol, it’s got a lot of harms associated with it, so I want to make sure we do everything we can to keep it out of the hands of kids.” She wants cannabis taxes to go towards paying for the increased health care and higher law enforcement costs which she says will result from legalization.

Clark has refused to give any idea of how her party would proceed on cannabis, saying only that she would gather an expert panel of police officers and health officials and follow their advice. This could be a slow process and lead to a very restrictive system.

Please keep the pressure on all candidates to discuss and support BC’s cannabis industry.

Our province has a multi-billion dollar cannabis industry that includes growers and dispensaries all across BC. Whoever wins this election should be able to work with that existing industry, to bring it into the mainstream, for the benefit of all British Columbians.

Thank you for your support.

Together we’re making a better future.

expect to see a small number of companies getting those licenses, and a truly open system will not emerge.

Third, pledge to support cities currently licensing dispensaries.

Some cities in BC are issuing business licenses for local dispensaries. BC needs a Premier who will respect those licenses and the civic process behind them.

Here’s where the parties stand and how we score them:

BC’s Election Day is May 9, and advance voting has already begun.

Considering how important cannabis is to our province in every way, it’s surprising that legalization hasn’t been a bigger topic in this election. Legalization could be a big boon for BC, or it could be a devastating blow to our provincial economy. We need a Premier who will get it right.

Here’s how we’re scoring the three BC parties on their cannabis policy.

To get an “A” grade, a party leader would need to do three things.

First, pledge to stop cannabis possession arrests immediately, without waiting for Trudeau. The federal government has pledged to continue arrests until cannabis legalization is totally in place, a process that could take a least a year, and probably a few years.

BC has the power to stop cannabis possession arrests at any time, and this needs to be a priority.

Second, pledge to protect BC’s local cannabis growers by demanding the power to license and regulate cultivation at the provincial level. Provinces control who can commercially brew alcohol, and province should control who can commercially grow cannabis. If the sole power to issue grow licenses remains with the federal government, we can

We live in a country rich with diverse communities and breathtaking landscapes and Peachland is a wonderful celebration of both.

2017 is Canada’s 150th celebration which lends itself to many exciting events in Peachland - one of which is the 98th Peachland Fall Fair on Saturday,September 9 and Sunday, September 10.

Our theme this year is “150 Years - Canada Proud : Harvesting Traditions” .

All of our different sections will have an opportunity for you to showcase your family traditions that have been handed down for generations. Whether you and your family grow flowers, vegetables or fruit; bake or preserve, create handicrafts, sew or do needlecraft; love to take photographs or do flower arranging; we want you to share what you do and enter your items into the Fall Fair.

Our Fall Fair booklet is available at a number of businesses around Peachland, several Garden centres, the Peachland and West Kelowna Libraries, the Peachland Visitor Centre or online at www.PeachlandFallFair.ca, where you can get all the information on our categories, rules and regulations. Adult

OPINION

Controversial comparison Judge Peachland by its people not its buildings During the all candidates forum in Penticton last Thursday, I had the opportunity to ask each of candidate if they could honestly say their party didn’t owe favours to any special interest groups.

Ashton replied by saying that he personally doesn’t owe any favours but neglected to say whether the Liberal Party has any hands in its pockets.

NDP candidate Tarik Sayeed wouldn’t deny that his party owes favours either, but said that if elected, his government will ban corporate and union donations “right away.”

Green candidate Connie Sahlmark used her barroom metaphor to ask the audience, “Ladies, if a guy is buy you

drinks all night are there expectations? Let’s talk common sense.”

CBC’s Chris Walker felt that Sahlmark’s comments bordered on misogyny.

“Her clear implication was that if men buy drinks for women, they are entitled to expect sex,” he said in an email to View reader Dianna Varga.

Varga didn’t find the comparison offensive.

“Sahlmark’s analogy fit perfectly with what the discussion of pay-to-play politics is about,” she said. “Just like guys in bars, the donors would hope for a return on investment, right?”

situated beside them. However, there was too much degradation in the tennis courts, such as damage from thick tree roots, to simply resurface them. We decided it was better to just remake them, which is why they have been torn up. So, the tennis courts will be back and even better than ever, and residents should be able to enjoy them and the new pickleball courts this year during Canada 150.

Until next time...

If you have any further questions, there will be a second open house for the new seniors housing development on May 9th, from 2 pm to 5 pm, in the Community Centre Banquet Room.

Lastly, there was an error in last week’s paper regarding the tennis courts.

Initially the District was going to just resurface the tennis courts at the same time as the building of the pickleball courts that will be

Dan Walton Editor

Dear editor: Eileen Gormley (Peachland View April 28th) feels that Peachland’s attractions are exaggerated and its vista destroyed. She did not agree with Jon Netelenbos (Peachland View March 17th) who described the benefits of development and the proposed Peachtree Village. In my opinion, Peachland as a community should be judged by its people not by its buildings and in that respect it rates very highly. As a community there has been, for a very long time, a lively debate about the benefits of new development. Most of us moved to Peachland from somewhere else and we shouldn’t prevent others from doing the same thing. But we should make sure that our Mayor and Council reflect the views of the residents in making sure that new developments are of a high standard and do benefit the community.

When you look at the plans for the Peachtree village (Beach Ave at 4th Street), the proposed building is far too big for the location.

The downtown OCP always envisaged high buildings near the highway and low-rise near Beach Avenue, so three storeys should be the limit there. As someone who puts a high value on pedestrian access, I love the wide sidewalks at the Gateway development (13th Street). But downtown, we have

Housing for Peachland Seniors

narrow sidewalks and problems when the restaurants build outside patios. New developments are not likely to follow the Gateway example but wider sidewalks are very important in allowing better pedestrian access and enhanced beautification.

If we want to know how to promote Peachland, we should get advice from the owners and operators of the Gasthaus restaurant. Whilst so many restaurants struggle through the winter, I am always impressed by the success of the Gasthaus in staying busy in challenging times. Whilst I encourage everyone to support all local businesses, that is quite different from supporting new de-

velopment projects. Many projects that come forward in Peachland are simply an attempt to make money by rezoning with no plans to actually start construction.

This process just inflates the price of the land and works against projects that might actually be built. I look forward to future debates about development. I have heard and read many diverse opinions but learned to appreciate the many well-informed and capable people living here. So yes, Peachland is a great place to live, but it’s because of the people not the buildings.

EVERYTHING’S BETTER – Effective Printing gave the District’s ‘Welcome

sign’ a complete revamp by overhauling the structure’s wood and graphics. It was originally installed years ago by the Peachland Chamber of Commerce.

ROOM FOR BOTH – Construction continues at Lambly Park on the refurbished tennis courts and new pickleball courts. In last week’s coverage, it was incorrectly reported that the tennis courts were being removed to make way for pickleball courts. The View apologizes for the error. The project has been funded by the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program and the District of Peachland. It involves excavation, tree and root removal; foundation and storm water management; fencing; paving; sport surfacing/line and nets; landscape/site restoration; and paved parking area at the 14th Street entrance. Work is expected to be complete at the end of June.
