MAKE WAY FOR MORE SENIORS – Come and bear witness to a big chapter of local history. The vision for a 74-unit affordable senior’s housing complex in Peachland is about to become real. On Nov. 1 at noon, the Peachland Seniors’ Support Society will be hosting a ground-breaking ceremony at the 4445 6th Street location.

Return pumpkins to the soil VIEW STAFF Apparently rotten pumpkins make for good fertilizer.

“Pumpkins are high in nitrogen, an excellent material to add to your backyard compost bin,” said Waste Reduction Facilitator Rae Stewart with the Regional Waste Reduction Office.

“And if you chop your pumpkin into small pieces and toss it into your backyard composter with some fall leaves, it will break

down just that much faster. Next spring you’ll have a great nutrient rich soil amendment to add to your flower beds or veggie patch.”

People who don’t compost can still throw their old pumpkins into their yard waste cart for the next pickup, and schedules can be found on the Living Greener Calendar, the My-Waste app, or regionaldistrict.com/recycle.

But remember, yard waste pickup ends for the year on Nov. 30.

Police catch and charge bad Sea-Dooer

Remember those reckless Sea-Dooers who ruined a perfectly good summer day by causing trouble in Lake Okanagan?

They spent the afternoon of July 6 (allegedly) harassing other boaters and maneuvering dangerously close to other watercraft.

“The first incident was … 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 couples belongings, but more disturbingly it was reported that their

2-year-old child was knocked overboard into the waters of Okanagan Lake,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said at the time.

“Thankfully the couple said their child was wearing a life jacket at the time and was surprisingly unharmed during what was likely a frightening ordeal for that toddler.”

Well the one who was “primarily responsible” has been busted.

It was a 27-year-old man from West Kelowna using a rental Sea-Doo. Once the RCMP discovered who the rental company was, it wasn’t hard to track the guy down.

“Anonymous tip information from the

public, also aided in the development and eventual conclusion of the police investigation.”

Here are the charges he has to face: Operation of a vessel in a careless manner, without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons under section 1007 of the Small Vessel Regulations (SVR)–a charge which carries a fine of $402.00; and failing after a collision to give name of vessel or name and address of authorized representative, to Master or person in charge of other vessel under section 148(b) of the Canada Shipping Act (CSA)—a charge which carries a fine of $287.52.

Alternative approval process underway to borrow for water treatment Alternative Approval Process

Council approved an Alternative Approval Process to gauge public opinion on long term borrowing of $9,285,456 over 25 years.

The long term borrowing is for the construction of Peachland Creek Water Treatment Plant and Trepanier Creek Water System Interconnect, to provide treated water through a conventional water treatment process within the boundaries of Peachland.

Residents who oppose borrowing must sign an Elector Response Form between Nov. 6 and Dec. 7.

Residents who agree with borrowing – do nothing. If 10 per cent of the eligible electors sign the Elector Response Forms, the borrowing would require assent through a referendum. An Open House will be held for the public on the Water Treatment Plant and Trepanier Interconnect project on Monday, Oct. 30 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Community Centre.

“Why would someone say no?” asked Coun. Pam Cunningham. “Do they not want a water treatment plant?”

If the alternate approval process is unsuccessful, the District will have the option to go to referendum to borrow the money. But if a referendum were also unsuccessful, it’s unlikely a new water treatment plant could be afforded in Peachland.

Mayor Cindy Fortin said it would be tragic if that were to happen at this point.

“We have full confidence going thru with alternative approval process,” said Coun. Mike Kent, adding that it’s a cost saving measure.

“We’ve heard from the public through numerous venues, mostly the official community plan, open houses and the citizen survey – clean water and treatment is a clear priority for this community. By moving forward with alternative approval process, it allows us to forego a referendum saving

taxpayers thousands of dollars. We know what the will of the public is and we’re using this tool to be fiscally responsible.”

Fellow councillors agreed with Kent’s statement and the motion passed 5–0, with Coun. Mario Vucinovic and Coun.

Peter Schierbeck absent.

Bylaw Enforcement Review

Council supports a voluntary compliance based approach, where public education, informal resolution, warnings, alternate dispute resolution or mediation are the primary approach, to bylaw enforcement. Council directed staff to amend the Park Regulation Bylaw No. 2089 to clarify where dogs are permitted in the District.

Amendment To Committee Appointments

Regional District Director and Committees; and • Alternate Councillor Condon to the Okanagan Regional Library Board These Councillors will now serve on the respective committees in the event that the regularly appointed Mayor or Councillor is unable to attend a meeting.

A motorist struck and killed a pedestrian last Saturday in West Kelowna and police are looking for witnesses.

Emergency responders were alerted to the incident at 4:45 a.m. on Oct. 21, which occurred in the north bound lanes of Highway 97 between Daimler Road and Bartley Road.

According to witnesses, a pedestrian stepped into the travelled portion of the highway when he was suddenly struck by a white Hyundai Sonata.

“The driver and passenger air bags, of the Hyundai, deployed as a result of the front impact,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Despite being injured themselves, both occupants, a man and woman, quickly leapt into action to perform CPR on the seriously injured pedestrian.”

Flood Recovery Updates

Council received a Flood Recovery Update. Staff are working with a Recovery Director on prioritizing an ac-

tion plan for flood mitigation efforts, and to recuperate a large portion of the costs from the Provincial and Federal Assistance program.

It was noted that 5 hazardous docks have been removed.

Infrastructure such as docks can only be replaced to the pre-flood condition.

Enhancements to infrastructure would be the responsibility of the District.

Subdivision And Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1956, Amendment Bylaw No. 2209, 2017

Council adopted Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1956, Amendment Bylaw No. 2119, 2017. Minor housekeeping changes will clarify the District’s requirements and improve the ability to reference sections of the bylaw.

We are here to serve and support you and your family with sensible solutions that are safe, secure, and Simple.

Friday afternoons at school were always the most fun because we would spend the last couple of hours daydreaming about the weekend. I suspect the teachers did the same thing because their zest for teaching seemed to wane as much as our zest for learning. Like Pavlovian conditioning, the piercing sound of that final class dismissal bell would always make us intoxicatingly giddy.

But not on Friday, November 22, 1963.

Shortly after lunch that day, we learned that US president John F. Kennedy had been shot while traveling in a motorcade in Dallas. It would be another hour or so before we heard the news that he had died.

We were in shock; the world was in shock.

Given the historic significance of Kennedy’s assassination, I am surprised that this week’s anticipated release of classified US documents relating to the investigation of this shooting hasn’t generated greater public interest. An act passed in 1992 (JFK Assassination Records Collection Act) allows for the release of approximately 3,000 undisclosed and 34,000 previously redacted files.

The documents’ release date is slated for Thursday, October 26, 2017. According to the Act, only the President can veto their release. So far, there is no indication that president Trump will do that.

We know that conspiracy thinkers are champing at the bit, hoping that the soon-to-be released documents will corroborate their “grassy knoll” theories, some which are rather far-fetched and convoluted. It’s unlikely that the release of this last batch of classified documents on October 26 will reveal something new and earth-shattering about the JFK assassination.

Seven days following the JFK assassination, newly sworn-in president Lyndon B. Johnson formed the Warren Commission, which was tasked to investigate the

assassination. The final report, released a year later, concluded that the gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, had acted alone in the assassination of president Kennedy.

It may surprise you but I have never agreed with this part of the Commission’s finding.

I base this entirely on forensic pathology.

As soon as president Kennedy was wheeled into the emergency room at Dallas Parkland Hospital, a team of trauma doctors and surgeons leapt into action. According to surgeon Dr. Robert McClelland, the back of the President’s head near the cerebellum had a gaping wound containing bits of bone and blood.

Dr. McClelland believes this was an exit wound. This opinion was shared by Dr. Charles Crenshaw, another member of the Parkland surgical team. In fact, right until his death in 2001, Dr. Crenshaw asserted that president Kennedy was shot twice from the front, dispelling the lone gunman theory.

While there are some exceptions, it is commonly an accepted fact that exit wounds are larger than entrance wounds. Drs. McClelland and Crenshaw were top-notch trauma surgeons who had plenty of experience in treating patients with gunshot wounds and would thus have been able to correctly identify an exit wound with a fair degree of certainty.

Most of us have at some time seen the Zapruder home movie clip, which gives a 26-second visual account of president Kennedy’s assassination. The 8mm film is very graphic, particularly the frame that shows the President being shot a second time. But many of those who have viewed it share a similar opinion: the second shot came from the front, and not the rear of the presidential motorcade.

If this is true, then the Warren Commission was wrong and a whole lot of history needs to be revised.

Perhaps the October 26 documents will shed further light on this.

Re: Mayor’s challenge to the community to submit positive Letters to the Editor Dear editor and Mayor Cindy Fortin, I recently read about an idea that we as Peachlander’s might adopt should we choose that our lives would be more comfortable with positive thoughts.

I took up the quest, and I like to end each sentence with a variety of thoughts, this is one of my favourites: And today is a beautiful day.

I found that when I started my morning with “Here comes another amazing day” that is what I got!

It doesn’t mean that I won’t get a sliver if I pick up a piece of wood, it does give me a different perspective and I know that I can handle that sliver or whatever else comes up.

I found it amazing how quickly I could get into a new routine of thinking thoughts that create the outcome of a beautiful day.

Or I can choose to think the same old habitual thoughts of the past that predict demise, suggest that no one cares, or are self-depreciating.

When I travel I seek to see the world from a different perspective. How grateful I am to adventure to places that are so different from our own home, yet people are kind and caring, trying to make their lives as good as they can, and living to be healthy and happy.

What a wonder would oc-

cur if we shared ways with each other. Us a bit more like them and them a bit more like us….

Most people would say they would like their families and themselves to be happy, however do we choose to think the thoughts that might create that potential?

Eventually our thoughts do become our lives, if only in our perspective.

There are so many wonderful things about Peachland, no wonder we love to make it our home.

We drink clean water, we see the sun shine many days in the year, we live close to a lake where we all can have access, our homes are heated or cooled as required, it only takes a minute or two to get to nature, we are allowed to drive our cars every day, we have public transportation that is affordable, our air is clean (when there are no fires), we can choose to have space between ourselves and the neighbours, we have freedom to live where we choose, most of us have neighbours or others close who care about us and life is affordable.

I am grateful for our good government and the opportunity to have voted time after time for the governments that got us to where we are.

We are a respected country around the globe.

And today is a beautiful day.

OPINION

Suspicious of Site C An engaged community is a good community DERMOD TRAVIS INTEGRITY BC

The hissing sound you may hear is the unmistakable sound of the air coming out of Site C’s tires.

As the B.C. Utilities Commission continues its inquiry on the project, it’s becoming more and more apparent that B.C. Hydro has been playing a bit loose with telling the whole truth when it comes to Site C. Case in point: in December 2014, when the B.C. government announced its decision to move ahead with Site C, B.C. Hydro boasted that an independent analyst had reviewed its methodologies for future demand forecasts and found them to be “state-ofthe-art methods.”

Which is true, but not the whole truth.

In November 2015, B.C. Hydro announced that its preferred proponent for the Site C main civil works contract was Peace River Hydro Partners (PRHP) comprised of Acciona Infrastructure, Petrowest Corp. and Samsung C&T.

First raised in this space more than a year ago, all three were facing problems of their own at the time.

Samsung Group was under investigation for bid-rigging and corruption in South Korea, Acciona was under investigation for corruption in Spain – two executives were arrested by Spanish authorities less than a month after the Site C deal was signed – and Petrowest was “living on borrowed time” from its lenders.

Due diligence also seemed to be in short supply when it came to awarding some Site C contracts. How did Site C get off the rails so fast and so early? No one seems to have been entrusted with looking after the taxpayers’ interest, just each other’s interest.

None of this bodes well for an on time and on budget finish of Site C, if there even is a Site C to finish.

But no matter how it plays out, there are some tough questions that need to be asked. First among them: how did an $8.7 billion project get so far down the road without any independent oversight?

Dear editor: Readers will not be surprised to know that I was very grateful for the kind words in the letter last week from Pete Wenham.

He also made some astute observations about politics. It is true that we do not pay our Mayor and Councillors high wages and they are subject to significant criticism; and yet that is the nature of those positions.

Years ago we lived in Surrey and we visited Peachland staying in bed and breakfast locations.

We moved here as we thought that life in a smaller quieter place would suit us better.

We bought our house here twenty years ago around the same time that the main sewer arrived.

We didn’t know it then, but that changed Peachland forever and allowed for significant development and new housing. We now have a variety of very different opinions about the benefits of development.

The question our community faces is not whether development is coming; that has been decided—Peachland will grow. The real question is do we allow developers to tell us what they are going

Delighted by MOTI’s Highway 97 study Re: Highway 97 Widening in Peachland

Petition by For Highway 97 In Place Dear Murray Tekano, (Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure) At the last information meeting on the status of MOTI’s Corridor Study you were presented with a petition compiled by For Highway 97 In Place proponents. A spokesperson for that group claimed recently in the Peachland View that the petition contained 2,500 signatures representing over 1,000 households or nearly 50 per cent of Peachland.

In fact a bypass is supported by the Mayor and entire Council and interested residents voted about 85 per cent in support of a bypass at an earlier well attended meeting organized and well advertised by MOTI. At last count the pro bypass Highway 97 Task Force Society numbered over 800 paid and verified members.

In a recent letter to the View the same spokesperson recounted decades of resistance supported by petitions by informal community organizations, to every development proposal.

A recent example was the approval, by Council after due process, of a development on Beach Avenue. This generated a fire storm of heated meetings, a torrent of letters and yet another petition all demanding that approval be rescinded. So abusive was the response that Mayor Fortin examined the petition and responded.

Purportedly the petition was signed by 1,100 “neighbouring residents”. The actual number of signatures was 960. They resided all over the world. Only 20 per cent lived in Peachland and few of those were neighbours.

For the subject bypass petition forms were distributed to businesses up and down the highway. The one which I personally inspected was posted in West Kelowna. Only phone numbers were listed and a considerable majority of those had a Lower Mainland prefix.

As a founding member of the Highway 97 Task Force Society I am delighted with the evaluation study of routing alternatives com-

missioned by the MOTI and now under way. I am sure that appropriate due diligence will give the petition the weighting it deserves.

to build or do we, as a community, make those decisions.

In Surrey it was hard to get people involved in local government issues, so I have always been very impressed by the many residents here that want to have a say in how our town develops.

An engaged community is a good community. When people turn off their TV and go to a meeting because they are concerned about what is happening, that is a positive thing. Being concerned, getting involved means that we care about the future of our community.

Many Peachland residents participated in an expensive and thorough analysis of future downtown development in 2010 and produced the Sustainable Downtown Plan.

They expected that their work would be valued. By approving the Peachtree building, that pub-

lic input is devalued.

One can point out that many of the signatures on the recent petition are not from Peachland residents. But even if only half the signatures are Peachland residents, it is still a lot of upset people.

This protest involves the PRA but it goes way beyond that; I am not a member of the PRA. And anyone who suggests that Gill Evans is a negative person does not know her at all.

Gill has a vision of the future of Beach Avenue; it is about interesting streetscapes with quality wood exteriors.

Gill is a passionate supporter of Peachland and is not opposed to development of the right kind. Alternative views do not represent negative thinking.

Safer stoves

On Friday, October 20, Fortis BC ($2000) and The Peachland Fire and Rescue Brigade ($500) proudly made financial donations to the Peachland Support Society for the installation of a number of iGuardStove devices in the Peachland Seniors Housing Development.

As unattended cooking is one of the leading causes of residential fires, this technology is viewed to be very important for Peachland Fire & Rescue Brigade members. The money provided by the Fire Brigade comes from funds donated by each Brigade member, and they are proud to be supporting such an important feature in the new development.

Kimberley Evans from iGuard (shown in the photo at left) made a formal presentation to the Peachland Mayor and Council and answered questions about the product.

The presentation of the Fortis BC cheque was made by Sharon Thomson, Community & Aboriginal Relations Manager; the presentation of the money raised by the Peachland Fire and Rescue Brigade (which should purchase one device) was made by Fire Chief Dennis Craig. Accepting the financial donations was Peachland Seniors Support Society (PSSS) president Sharon Hallberg.

Province donates to Peachland Pier VIEW STAFF

It’s going to be way easier to complete the Pier Project since the province decided to redistribute $200,000 of taxpayer money into Peachland.

“This new funding will help rural communities grow their economies and create jobs - now and for the next generation,” said Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource.

The pier will be a 120-metre long wheelchair-accessible boardwalk that will add to the Beach Avenue waterfront trail. The effort is a collaboration between the Peachland Lions Club, Peachland Pier Group, Rotary Club of Peachland and Peachland Sportsmen’s Association.

Peachland’s slice came from a $784,000 pie. The rest of the money was divied up amid other rural communities in the South Okanagan.

Summerland was given $435,000 to complete the trails redevelopment master plan

for Giant’s Head Mountain municipal park, which is being taken on by the Rotary Club of Summerland.

Osoyoos gets $100,000 to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for the development of a community health centre for the area’s residents and visitors.

The long-term objectives of the health centre project include increasing the number of local doctors and developing partnerships with medical programs to use Osoyoos as a rural training centre.

Oliver got the short end of the stick. All they got was $49,660 to help develop a new brand for the community.

The Pier Project could still use more help from the community. Anybody able to donate $100 will get their first and last name engraved on the Peachland Pier railing; for $500 donors can have 80 characters engraved on a brass plaque; and at $5,000, a bench or fishing chair will share the donor’s name on an engraved brass plaque. For information on how to donate, call 767-6225.

Good news and bad news out of Ottawa DAN ALBAS

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

• On a final note, I would like to pass on a sincere thank you to the many citizens who responded to my previous MP reports regarding the enforcement of the Bank Act. For those of you unfamiliar, Ottawa had

announced that it in- consumers and unfairly tends to prohibit Credit impact Credit Unions.

As a result this week Unions from using the terms “bank’ “banking” I tabled my private and “banker”. Many cit- member’s bill C-379 izens have shared with that proposes to amend me strong opposition to the Bank Act and allow these heavy handed tac- Credit Unions to contics that will add costT:8.83”tinue using the roots and create confusion to words of “bank.”

This week in Ottawa began with the Finance Minister under fire for failing to place his investments into a blind trust and also refusing to disclose them in the House. As a result the Liberals made the politically wise decision to move up the fall fiscal update. Select media in Ottawa were leaked certain details suggesting that this would be a “good news” fiscal update with increased revenues and a promise to further increase the child benefit program.

In the end we learned that the “good news” was the fact that the Liberals revised deficit was going to be just under $20 billion this year.

For the Liberals, this was good news as they had thought the deficit would be even higher.

For the Opposition, this deficit is basically double the size of the modest deficits the Liberals promised. In fact the Liberals are now on a path to add $100 Billion in debt over the next 7 years with no plan to return to balance whatsoever.

I participated in a press conference with Diabetes Canada last Sunday where it came to light that many vulnerable citizens with ‎Type 1 Diabetes are being denied the Disability Tax Credit from the Canada Revenue Agency.

This has shocked both the people applying and physicians, as many have qualified in previous years but have been rejected with no clear explanation as to what has changed.

Subsequently I have raised this in Question Period with some urgency. The Government has denied this is an official change of policy and is working on this issue. If you are someone you know with type 1 diabetes is having any difficulty with CRA, please contact my office at 1-800-665-8711 for assistance.

My question this week: Do you see ta-

bling a budget deficit that is roughly double the size of what was promised as “good news”?

EDITOR

The musicians who performed as Foreigner last weekend in Penticton were completely foreign to the band’s founding members.

Keyboard-guitarist Mick Jones – who’s been with the band since inception – was supposed to be in the lineup but he pulled a sickie.

Lou Gramm, the original lead singer, has been performing at some shows on this tour, but not Penticton – we got the karaoke guy.

So even though the gimmick of this tour was that it’s Foreigner’s 40th anniversary, nobody on stage had been with the band for anywhere close to that long.

Nevertheless, the show was fantastic.

The new frontman Kelly Hansen, who joined the band in 2005, knows the science behind pleasing an aging audience. Early on, he got the crowd jacked up by having them cheer over the discrepancy between those under 40 and over 40.

Then the inherent baggage of the average Foreigner fan was addressed. Everybody was asked to dig deep into their brains to repress the memories of parenthood, regretful tattoos, a first marriage – and just enjoy the night as if they were 28 and single again.

A cheerful response came from a joke Hansen made about doing illegal drugs back in the day. It was a good segue into a psychedelic light show, but there wasn’t much substance to the joke – people just find it funny that mind-altering drugs get consumed even though it’s against the law.

While nobody involved with the performance was much of a celebrity, Hanson’s showmanship made it feel like everybody on stage really was a star. Initially I had reservations about spending my Saturday night watching a washedup tribute band try and repackage its success from decades ago, but Foreigner somehow put on a very impressive concert.

And beyond the spectacle of the show, they put a noticeable amount of effort into engaging the local community.

Instead of drawing the curtain after the last song (Hot Blooded), the final act was an announcement from a member of the Penticton

Shrine Club, declaring a winning 50/50 ticket number.

The limelight was also shared with the choir at Penticton Secondary School. They were brought on stage to assist with the song I Want to Know What Love Is. Afterwards, Hansen draw attention to the importance of music programs in public schools and said they don’t receive enough funding. The audience offered their rhetorical support by cheering, because sure, everybody wants to help out emerging artists and encourage innovation. But we were kind of doing the opposite of that, spending our disposable time and money at a greatest hits concert to chase feelings of nostalgia.

Foreigner might only have four or five songs that most people would recognize from the radio, but for their live show, they refreshen up their hit tracks and stretch them out. There was a retro feel to the show; it felt like Hansen was giving off a strong Freddy Mercury vibe at one point. Also, drummer Chris Frazier performed one of the most impressive solos I’ve ever seen.

The lyrics in Foreigners music often embrace youthfulness. But considering how old each musician must be to belong to a band that’s over 40 years old, it seemed like the guys on stage wanted to counteract the natural assumption that they must be lame geezers by now, so each song was packed full of upbeat energy.

Exiting the venue amid the sea of fans was an equally valuable part of the experience. The parking lot was full of stragglers who were ready to party like it was 1985, and there was a car stuck in traffic packed full of cougars with two or three of them hanging out the windows shouting “Woooo.”

But unfortunately I only saw one grown woman wearing full leopard print.

Stuff like that makes me wonder how dorky I’m going to look in 35 years from now – surely youngsters from the next generation will scoff at me for rehashing my glory days.

Oh well.

For six musicians who are riding completely on the coattails of their predecessors, Foreigner hit all the right notes to offer a far out experience. Their live show beautifully recaptures the tail end of the baby boomer golden era.

Field trip to local source of drinking water TARYN SKALBANIA

PEACHLAND WATER PROTECTION ALLIANCE A group of Peachland residents were invited to tour the existing Water Treatment plant and intake, and the proposed site of the new $20 million plant, followed by a Q and A presentation with plant designers and water experts from Urban Systems and Interior Health. Many queries regarding costs, alternatives and need were answered, especially questions concerning the effectiveness of the plant.

Why Rotary, you ask?

It is evident, that this plant was designed for the water needs of a small population that draws its drinking water from upland creek sources.

As was proven by this past spring’s extreme runoff and flooding, no water treatment system in the Okanagan Valley was immune to boil water notices and advisories. The same holds true for this plant.

Although recent statements by Peachland Mayor and literature on the financing of the new system state that a new plant will eliminate turbidity

and water notices for Peachland water supply in the future, this is not true—no creek source water system can make that 100 per cent guarantee.

However, this system will filter out solids and claims to reduce the amount of chlorination used due to additional UV treatment of the water, greatly reducing the frequency and length of our seasonal dirty water notices.

Tannins and dye from vegetation and fine particles may still appear during extreme weather, and high run off. Increased deforestation to our watershed and source water areas from logging, road building, forest fires, or bug kill will add turbidity to our water by erosion and sedimentation. This in turn increases the amount of chemicals

we ingest and the costs of chlorine and other chemical salt purchases. Maintenance costs increase with the need to replace and repair membranes and filters at the plant or to dredge the intake a possibility. Of course, if our watershed sustains more large scale mud slides like the April 19 slide off Munroe Forestry Rd. or the mudslide that threatened Trepanier Creek intake, from McDonald Creek last May 24, we can be sure these events will disable our systems, again.

We currently pay an operations fee of $55 per quarter, in addition to our water consumption charges; this will increase to $90/qt r/ hou sehold with the new plant.

How we can eliminate taxpayer cost is to reduce water con-

sumption further, ( we do not need to treat the water we are not using!) and protect our creeks further, so the cleanest possible water is entering the intake, prior to treatment. This two-tiered approach is favoured

by Interior Health.

Do you know that only about 9 per cent of the water we treat and pay for is for domestic use and drunk in our homes; over 40 per cent is poured on our lawns and washes our cars, and over 50 per cent of this expensive treated water is for agricultural use!

If a fraction of the $20 million tax dollars used to treat water could be used to protect water we could have a much cleaner, much less expensive final product.

It is all one water, one valley, let us treat it wisely!

Hydro bill hollowed by solar panel investment DAN WALTON EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

Investing in rooftop solar panels was a no-brainer for Oliver resident Maurice Nunas.

“Basically the money I had sitting in the bank was earning less than a per cent annually,” he said. “The minute I put it on the roof and the panels starting working, it’s returning five per cent.”

The Nunas home began harnessing renewable energy in April, and when they produce more than they use, it’s sold to FortisBC. “No annual fees or later costs. It just going to keep returning, guaranteed for 25 years.”

Maurice is often asked how long it will take for him to recoup the costs, but there are too many variables to make an accurate guess.

According to BCHydro.com, an investment in residential solar panel takes at least 20 years to recoup.

Not according to Maurice’s math though.

“It’s going to be way faster than that.

This whole system – an over 7,000 watt system with 26 panels – costs less than $18,000,” he said.

When solar panels produce more energy than a home consumes, the energy is fed back to the utility company.

“I get credit for that power that goes into the grid from Fortis, so in essence you can think of it as turning the metre backwards.”

The Nunas electric bill would have cost $306 over two months in the summer-

time, but thanks to his solar panels – even with many days hindered by smoky skies, the bill ended up costing just $1.92.

On another bill, the Nunas produced so much more energy than they consumed that Fortis gave them a $21 credit towards the next charge.

“So far it’s performing beyond our expectations. When you look at that and do the math, the return on investment is there.”

However, as the earth tilts, the savings aren’t steady throughout the year.

“In the winter we’ll produce a little less than half what we get during the peak of the summer.”

Even during the darker months, Mau-

rice expects the assistance of his solar panels to prevent his consumption costs from crossing the threshold into tier two pricing.

Inside the home, electricity can be used exactly the same – the installation of solar panels doesn’t require any concessions to be be made.

“You’d have no clue it’s a solar house,” Maurice said. “Everything works the same as it did. We don’t even think of where it comes from.”

Beyond the financial value he sees in solar investment, Maurice says it’s the right thing to do to address the future of energy consumption.

“There was a lot of talk going on with

the Site C dam and how much electricity we’re going to need – so I thought, if everybody that had a suitable south-facing roof put solar panels up then maybe we wouldn’t even need Site C.” Maurice said the equipment was all installed in three days. The panels sit six inches above his roof and don’t require any cleaning or snow removal.

“The panels can tolerate a little dust and snow – not that Oliver get a lot of snow. Even in a bad winter.”

Maurice didn’t have any criticism towards solar panels, but he’s disappointed the provincial government doesn’t offer any incentives or tax credits, unlike many other provinces.
