Peachland View deepens its talent pool even further

DAN WALTON

MUCH LIKE THE changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, there’s been a swap of British people at the Peachland View. Tracey Woodward has taken over as the new Advertising Sales Executive here at the newspaper. Her predecessor, Paul Graydon, is no longer full time, but will continue with Aberdeen Publishing as a sales rep for BC Musician Magazine. Graydon and Woodward were both born and raised in England and they have the accents and panache to prove it.

More recently, Tracey moved with her husband from Winnipeg to Peachland, as they had been planning to semi-retire here for nearly 10 years. She brings vast newspaper experience after spending 14 years with the Winnipeg Free Press. “Compared to Winnipeg, everyone here is so much more friendly and accepting,” she said. It didn’t take long for her to realize that she’ll catch more flies with honey in Peachland. “I prefer to offer a reciprocal service than to be aggressive and pushy.” But with a product like

the Peachland View, Tracey doesn’t have to feel like she’s selling snake oil. “It is always full of community news – everybody in Peachland reads it and likes it.” Still, she hopes to attract more advertisers into the paper, and wants local businesses to think of print as the go-to medium for marketing dollars. Anybody who would like to introduce themselves to Tracey (or buy an ad) can drop into the office on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, or send her an email at sales@peachlandview.com.

Reconnaissance from five storeys high VIEW STAFF Ground may not have broken yet on PeachTree Village, but new aerial footage is offering the first glimpse of five storeys along Beach Avenue. A short video, shot on a drone by local videographer Travis Oleniak, pans from the south to the north to show off the view from the fifth floor of 5570-5566 Beave Ave. “I am always up for trying new and creative genres and I’m looking forward to growing my

business in Peachland,” Oleniak said. The video is helping to promote PeachTree’s presale phase. And according to PeachTree partner Carola Alder, “We’ve had an overwhelming response to signs placed on the property. Hundreds joined our waitlist this summer.” Pre-qualified buyers will have exclusive access to pricelists and floorplans on Oct. 30.

Driving mishaps kept the RCMP busy last week DAN WALTON EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

A 32-year-old Kelowna man tried to avoid taking responsibility for a car crash by fleeing the scene, but he was caught after being stalked by a stranger and then sniffed out by a cop dog. It was last Saturday night when a black Chevrolet Avalanche struck a southbound grey Saturn LS1 sedan at the intersection of Springfield Road and Gordon Drive. Police were told that the Avalanche was traveling westbound on Springfield and failed to stop for a red light. A witness who noticed the driver of the Avalanche fleeing the scene began to pursue. The witness then led the RCMP to a location where the Avalanche was abandoned. “Kelowna RCMP officers responded to the collision scene, alongside emergency medical crews who provided medical assistance to the four occupants of the Saturn who sustained non-life threatening injuries,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “At the same time, additional officers set up and area of containment around the ditched Avalanche and called for the assistance of PSD (Police Service Dog) Dex to search for their hit and run suspect.” The driver of the Avalanche is now facing charges both under the Criminal Code and the BC Motor Vehicle Act. He is expected to appear in Court on January 18. ••• A man died Friday night in a five-car pileup that caused a seven-hour closure on Highway 97 C near the Trepanier Road off-ramp. Police received a call at 7:13 p.m. about a collision that caused serious injuries and blocked eastbound traffic. When RCMP

arrived, they discovered a severely damaged black Jeep Wrangler lying on its side. Witnesses reported that the driver of the Jeep was broadsided by an eastbound red Dodge Ram pickup truck. Police believe the operator of the Jeep was trying to turn left across two lanes of traffic to try and enter an emergency services access road. The accident caused a chain reaction, as a passing red Mazda Tribute, a grey Ford F250 and a white GMC Sierra pickup truck also became part of the crash, with each vehicle sustaining moderate to extensive damage. “The lone occupant of the black Jeep Wrangler was rushed from the scene of the crash, to an area hospital by BC Ambulance Service,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Sadly the 58-year-old man, from the northwest coast of B.C., succumbed to his injuries in hospital.” Among the other four vehicles involved in the collision, eight occupants were assessed by paramedics and released at the scene. The RCMP Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) had the highway closed for seven hours while they conducted a thorough investigation. Anybody who saw the crash and has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact the

West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880. ••• Cops are on the trail of a suspected thief who’s been snatching up car keys from gym locker rooms. It all happened on Tuesday. The RCMP’s first call came in shortly after 7:30 a.m., when a woman at Goodlife Fitness in Kelowna noticed her her keys were missing, and then went out to the parking lot to find her For SUV was also missing. After that, just before 9 am, a second victim filed a similar report, claiming that her car keys were stolen from an unlocked locker at the Steve Nash Fitness Centre. Her four-door hatchback was also stolen, which had her wallet and bank cards inside. The cards were then used fraudulently, it was later discovered. Next, shortly after 1 p.m., police were called about more stolen car keys, this time from the Mission Fitness Centre. The keys belong to a Hyundai SUV, which were stolen along with credit cards and personal ID. The alleged thieves didn’t stop there. At 5:40 pm, RCMP were told about another gym bag that was stolen, this one from the YMCA. But when the victim noticed her belongings were

missing, she got her man to run out to the parking lot where he confronted a suspicious woman. The woman was described as black, in her 20s, with curly black hair dyed red, wearing tight jeans and white sneakers. After she was confronted, she quickly fled in a tan-coloured SUV with a white woman, who was described as wearing a baggy t-shirt and a toque. Here are the vehicle descriptions and license plates of the stolen vehicles: • 2008 white or beige Ford Escape with BC licence plates DS501N; • 2012 black Mini Cooper with BC licence plates CM855P; • 2009 grey Hyundai Elantra with BC licence plates 744RSE; Anybody who can shed more light on the investigation is being asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300. ••• What kind of person assaults an 11-year-old girl? A white man in his 20s was described as a person who did just that last Friday in West Kelowna. RCMP received a call at 1:38 p.m. about an assault that occurred 15 minutes earlier. It happened because two girls – 10

and 11 years old – were riding their bicycles down the sidewalk when they approached a man wearing headphones. As they attempted to pass him from behind, he grabbed an accessory attached to the 11-year-old’s bicycle which caused her to fall off her bike. Then, he allegedly grabbed the young girl’s wrist as she yelled at him to stop. Then the man pushed her away and she fell against a light pole. Police were told that the man didn’t even say anything during the encounter, he just kept walking southbound on Brown Road. He was wearing a grey trench coat, jeans, brown boots and large yellow coloured head phones. “The young girl was not physically injured as a result of the incident,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “However we would like to talk to the man involved in this incident, or anyone who may have witnessed it, or who has further information.” Anyone who can help track this guy down should contact Cst. Leshia Clark of the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880. ••• Some doped-up guy was caught peeing on the Kelowna cop shop. It was last Saturday night when an officer noticed a black Ford Escape had entered their parking

lot, which wasn’t authorized to be there. The officer observed the man begin to urinate on the side of the building. Cops were able to quickly locate and identify the man, a 21 year old from Kelowna. He “seemed confused and oblivious with the fact he just urinated on a police building,” according to the RCMP. Officers detected signs and symptoms of drug impairment and seized illegal drugs and paraphernalia which were sitting in plain sight inside the the man’s vehicle. Police issued him a 24 hour driving prohibition. As a useful reminder, “urinating in a public place and possession of drug paraphernalia are each considered an offence under Section 3.32 and 3.33 of the City of Kelowna Parks and Public Spaces Bylaw No. 10680. Each may carry a $100.00 fine,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says.

Hello everyone, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving long weekend. It was a tough spring and summer, weather-wise, and the heavy smoke in the air didn’t help matters, but the fall has rewarded our endurance with some beautiful, clear and sunny days. Congratulations to all the participants and organizers of the 2nd Annual Scarecrow Festival. What a fantastic job you did again this year! I can see this festival only growing in size each year and becoming a regular and anticipated community event. The top three displays were: the Peachland Variety Singers located outside the 50plus Centre; the Schoolhouse Group (BEEPS, Peachland Community Arts Council, Chamber, and Boys and Girls Club) display outside of the Historic Peachland School, and the Lifeguard display at Beach Ave. Café. The festival doesn’t end until October 15th, so I’d urge all of you who haven’t had a chance yet, to get out and view some of the displays. While there are a lot of scarecrows along Beach Avenue, many more can also be found throughout the town. Recently, I attended the big UBCM Conference (Union of BC Municipalities) in Vancouver. It provided a great opportunity to network with other municipal officials, share ideas, community concerns and

solutions. UBCM also provides an opportunity to meet with many provincial Ministers, and strike up working relationships with them. This was especially important this year with a new provincial government, with many new faces. During one of the forums, I was thrilled to be presented with a Local Government Leadership Academy (LGLA) certificate by the Honorable Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Some of the hot topics and forums of the conference were: the BC Mayors’ Caucus; New Approaches to the Overdose Crisis; the Water Sustainability Act; Small and Mid-Size Community Forums; Advancing Local Government and First Nations Relations; Provincial Regulation of Non-Medical Cannabis; Affordable Housing, Infrastructure and Economic Development; and Jobs, Resources, and Green Communities. On a different note, I realize that I left some points out of my last column when discussing the Peachtree development (Peachland View, September 22nd),

that I’d like to address. On several occasions it has been stated that the petition against the development received 1,100 signatures. The petition was presented to District staff after the Public Hearing, but before Final Adoption and, as the Local Government Act regulations stipulate, Councils are not permitted to receive any new information after Public Hearings. This is to give everyone a fair and equal opportunity to express their views. I have now had the opportunity to review the petition, page-by-page, line-by-line. The following are some facts I discovered. There are not 1100 signatures, but rather, my tally was 960. And even though the top of the petition reads: “As neighbouring residents of the Peach Tree Village project…”, more than 420 were from out of town – many from West Kelowna, Kelowna and Summerland. Nearly 50 were from Alberta, as well as some from England, Germany, North Ireland and the U.S.A. So, while initially 1100 signatures sounds like approximately 20% of Peachland residents signed the petition, it was actually less than 10%. And only a very small percentage were actually “neighbouring residents” on Beach Ave. I bring this up not to minimize those who did sign it, but rather, to demonstrate that not everything stated in the “letters to the editor”

is accurate, and can be misleading. I believe it is also important to take into consideration, the petition creator’s harsh opinions that were expressed to people passing by, as well as a grossly out-of-scale photoshopped picture of the building. In my opinion this was very one-sided, and does not fully explain the development, or its benefits to the community. I know change is difficult. But I feel it’s important to say again that Peachland cannot continue to exist as it is now without some progress. It would be great if we could remain a quiet, sleepy, historic town. And that’s fine, if residents are willing to see taxes double and maybe even triple over the next decade or so to pay for our aging infrastructure, and to maintain the many services that we currently enjoy. Peachland would become even more expensive for young families, the working middle income earners, and seniors on limited incomes. We may have some other large projects on the books, such as New Monaco, but that time period is a 20 year build-out, and they haven’t even begun yet, as they wait for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to approve their primary access. We need to be proactive and progressive, so we don’t become obsolete. I also feel the need to comment on all the negative letters to the editor

(many from the same small group of people, over and over again), that are not casting a very positive light on our town. I would like to challenge the repeated contributors, such as Gillian Evans and Eric Hall, to say one nice thing about our wonderful community. Just once. Mr. Hall has been writing letters for years, with barely a positive word, on any subject. In fact, I challenge the entire community to send in to the newspapers some positive words about our community. They don’t have to be long-winded (like mine, lol), just a paragraph or two. I’m sure I echo the sentiments of many Peachland residents, that it would be wonderful to read some positive letters, instead of mostly all negative ones. Let’s not forget this community has had many successes over the last few years, including finally getting grant funding for the Water Treatment Plant, Seniors Housing, which is about to start construction, the purchase of the Duck and Pub to expand Heritage Park, affordable housing initiatives, new outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, and much more. We also plan to improve the gravel parking lot at the end of 2nd Street, which will include a new electric car charging station, and plan to build a children’s spray park. Let’s continue to progress to make this a vibrant place for everyone, of all ages. Until next time….

Vision was cooler than reality Employee discounts to be taxed? Dear editor:

This is the vision Peachlanders have for their village; its unique beach front, its downtown revitalization, this is the brochure photo Mayor and Council are promoting to developers; this is the ideal view our Management recommends and to which our planning department firmly is committed:

whole heartedly chosen to endorse and support:

I ask all the residents of Peachland, what is your vision for our village, especially it’s down town core...a facade of three stories along Beach Avenue is what is preferred. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead Taryn Skalbania Peachland

Nuclear weapon hypocrisy Dear editor: Let’s be very clear. I do not support North Korea and its’ brutal totalitarian regime. Democracy rules and Canada is a leading example of how to do it right in our turbulent, divisive world. That said, the USA and Russia continue with their nuclear weapon hypocrisy. Both have nuclear weapons capable of destroying the earth many times over. If the first salvo doesn’t destroy mankind ten more should do it. The collateral damage will be radioactive pollution everywhere. Non-nuclear countries will not be spared. So why is North Korea such a nuclear threat? At best it could attack the USA with a nuclear arsenal less than 0.1 per cent of theirs. Any attack by North Korea would mean the annihilation of their regime and they know this. China and Russia would be loath to come to their defence and much more amenable to regime change, a welcome relief. The real threat - the USA and Russia have a scary track record for avoiding conflict with other

countries and each other. Tensions are now heightened throughout the world under Trump, Putin and other unbalanced world leaders. Diplomacy has given way to reckless posturing by those with the biggest nuclear guns. Who will make the first mistake? Added to this threat is the fact that their nuclear weaponry is aging. US Titan missiles are over 50 years old and decommissioned Russian nuclear subs are left to decay in Arctic waters. Posturing by the United States and compliance by others at the United Nations regarding North Korean trade sanctions exposes this nuclear hypocrisy. If you have the biggest nuclear guns you can demonize those that don’t have as many and those that want them. To right this situation perhaps all non-nuclear nations should impose trade sanctions against nuclear countries in accordance with their weaponry. Highest sanctions would be imposed against nations with the highest level of nuclear weaponry. Steve Burke Peachland

ings was filled with outrage over news that if you are an employee who receives a staff discount, that discount would now be considered a taxable benefit by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA). Fortunately there may be some positive news on this matter – it has been reported that the minister responsible

has instructed the CRA to remove this interpretation from the CRA website. In Ottawa circles this is often referred to as “the Minister throwing the Department under the bus.” It seems clear the Minister recognized the outrage of this decision and has acted quickly to attempt to mitigate.

Here ‘n’ there: US gun culture is puzzling JON NETELENBOS OP-ED COLUMNIST

I have no idea how many news articles and columns have been written about the indescribable carnage that befell the city of Las Vegas on October 1, but I suspect they number in the billions worldwide. It begs the question: What more can be said about the horrific details of this slaughter that hasn’t already been covered by the media? Local and federal US law enforcement officers have done an exemplary job in processing a complex crime scene and have left no stone unturned in investigating the background of the deceased shooter. The frustrating part of the investigation is that no one has been able to determine a motive. Far be it for this Peachland View columnist to wade into the waters of conjecture about the demented killer’s mind. I’ll defer that to the forensic psychiatrists. But I do have some thoughts about the National Rifle Association’s opposition to a federal ban of the “bump stock,” a device used by the Las Vegas murderer. (The “bump stock” enables conversion of a semi-automatic rifle into a fully automated firearm.) You would think that following this horrific massacre, the NRA would support this revealingly common-sense ban. But no, this powerful lobbying group, which has roadblocked almost every proposed federal piece of gun control legislation since the mid-1930s, views every attempt to do so as a violation of the US Second Amendment. And it seems after every mass casualty shooting, the NRA expounds the same message: no piece of legislation would have averted this tragedy. So, what is it about this special interest lobbying organization that supports legislation allowing American gun owners to carry concealed firearms? How about NRA’s recommendation following the Sandi Hook carnage:

arming teachers to prevent similar tragedies? The US Second Amendment (“. . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”) is the lifeblood of the NRA’s gun rights advocacy programs and lobbying initiatives. Legal scholars, representing both sides of the gun discussion continue to debate the relevancy of the Second Amendment, the language which has remained intact since its ratification in 1791. The US Supreme Court in 2008 reaffirmed the Second Amendment’s constitutional language allowing private citizens to bear arms. However, Justice Antonin Scalia, in a majority decision report, added: “Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” Will we ever see a change in the American gun culture? I doubt it very much. The NRA will continue to unabashedly give financial support to the Washington lawmakers who oppose gun control legislation And one can’t ignore the fact that among US gunowners there are currently three-hundred million firearms in circulation—minus the twenty-three firearms found in Stephen Paddock’s Mandalay Bay hotel room.

room. The painting were originals by Claudia’s mother, Ella Wald (Kargl). The photographs were by Claudia Kargl. Personally, I enjoyed the scenes from the musical movie as it is one of my all-time favorites. But I was most intrigued and fascinated by the current musical group that we saw at the end of the day. I would have liked to have had more discussion with the participants about some of the scenes, how we felt, what impressed us, and what insights we gained by hearing the music and viewing the videos. The hostess and her husband were very welcoming and gracious, although I found their presentation of the material was more than a little hampered by their use of the technology and their occasional disagreements about what should be shown next. I almost wondered if this was part of the entertainment though, since the venue is aptly named Ad Lib Art Gallery, and their commentary and presentation had a casual ad lib (not rehearsed) approach. But then, Tritsch Tratsch does mean chit-chat and Viennese Gossip, so that would explain their casual approach as well.

I am the shelters longest resident. I arrived here on July 14th as a stray with my kittens. I like to hangout under the bench outside but will come to you if you want to pet and cuddle me! I am not the biggest fan of other cats, so would love to be the only cat when i find my forever home. I would be a great addition to any loving home.
