Local winemaker, Peachland MP, pushing for free wine trade between provinces

If you’re in BC and you want to order a case of wine directly from a producer in Ontario’s Niagara winemaking region, you can just pick up the phone or order online.

But if you’re in Ontario, you can’t legally call up Lightning Rock Winery in Summerland and ask for a case of owner Ron Kubek’s wine to be shipped to you.

Ontario doesn’t let producers from outside the province ship direct to consumers. All out-of-province wines, or beer or cider or spirits, have to go through Ontario’s provincial liquor distributor, which means big markups and paperwork.

Only four Canadian provinces allow direct-to-consumer shipping – B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. The remaining

TRADE BARRIERS

provinces and territories make it illegal without adding on markups, which are tariffs by another name and effectively kill the trade.

Smaller wineries in BC don’t produce enough to get space on BC Liquor Store shelves or in other provincial liquor distributors, so selling direct to consumers across Canada, especially in big markets like Ontario and Quebec, would mean a big increase in sales and revenue, says Kubek.

“We believe it’s about 25 per cent to 35 per cent of our business could increase if we could ship to the rest of Canada,” he said. “We’re dealing with the Liquor Control Board of Ontario to get my wine into Ontario and they want a 70 per cent markup.”

Kubek has started a petition in support of Bill C-262, introduced last month by Okanagan Lake West-South Kelowna member of parliament Dan Albas, which includes Peachland. The legislation would establish a national framework allowing winemakers and other alcohol producers to ship products directly to consumers across the country without penalty, regardless of which province the wine is produced or where a consumer lives.

Kubek said the number of

petition signatures is growing. “At the beginning of last week we had about 650 and I know that we’re getting close to 1000. We’d like to get up to 4000. You know, you can have free trade on anything on Amazon, but heaven forbid you should make a product in BC and want to be able to ship it legally to the rest of Canada,” he said.

Getting rid of provincial barriers to trade would help Canada create a national internal market for the wine it produces

and expand the industry considerably, Kubek said, just like other countries do, leading to more investment, more jobs and more wine tourism. Only 12 per cent of the wine drunk in Canada is made in Canada, he said. “In France, for example, 70 per cent of the wine is from France. In Italy, it’s 65 per cent. In Spain, it’s even higher than 75 per cent. But in Canada, because we have these little dictatorship monopolies that

Wellness Centre set to celebrate Parkinson’s Awareness Month

Each year the Province of British Columbia formally proclaims April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month. This is a time when communities across British Columbia come together to shine a light on a condition that affects more than 17,500 people in our province.

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that impacts movement, speech, and many aspects of daily life. While tremor is the most widely recognized symptom, Parkinson’s is far more complex, bringing cognitive changes, sleep challenges, mentalhealth impacts, and a wide range of nonmotor symptoms that are often misunderstood.

The Peachland Wellness Centre is joining the provincial call to deepen understanding, reduce stigma, and support those living with Parkinson’s and their care partners by reaching out to residents and inviting them to attend a Peachland Wellness Centre meeting, Shaken But Not Stirred.

Participants will learn about the wide range of symptoms,

VIA CANADIAN

Crossing Canada by rail (Part two)

By eric Hall

For those who started their journey in Toronto after two days and two nights on the train the stop in Winnipeg is a chance to stretch their legs. By this time, some people have found that they do not enjoy sleeping in a moving train. Having a shower has also been a challenge as there is only one per rail car. So, when you get up in the morning and walk along the hallway to the shower, you might find it already busy. Although most of the passengers are on board for the long journey, the Canadian still offers city to city transportation. If they are not in a rush to get there, some people might travel from Winnipeg to Edmonton. Those passengers are in the coach section which is separate from the sleeper cars.

At Winnipeg my group went to the railway museum in the station, or to the Forks market for coffee. But after two hours, and a change of most of the VIA staff, we were on our way. There are two rail routes fom Winnipeg heading west: the CN track to Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Jasper and the CPR track to Regina and Calgary. The VIA Canadian takes the CN route.

After arriving at Edmonton, everyone starts thinking of the Rocky Mountains, and the journey

from there to Jasper does not disappoint. The Canadian has scenic dome cars for extra viewing and with limited seating it is at this time they get very busy. But with different meal times and passengers coming and going everything seems to work out.

Before the mountains you pass through Hinton, which is a working town with a pulp mill-- and then you enter Jasper National Park. The mountains are spectacular at anytime, but on this winter tour they seemed even more magnificent with their snow cover.

Most tour groups get off the Canadian in Jasper for a hotel stop and two days later catch the next train that arrives from Toronto. This can be a problem for VIA if the number of passen-

gers getting off and on the train in Jasper is different. They can detach rail cars and leave them in Jasper and add them to the next train. Most people in my group were very happy to get off the train and were looking forward to sleeping in a real bed.

The next day we made our way to Maligne Canyon for an ice walk. This is one of the major attractions in Jasper in the winter. You wear special rubber boots and put on grip soles.

For several months in the winter, the Maligne River has thick ice cover and you walk on the frozen surface. The highlight is to walk behind a frozen waterfall; it is hard to believe if you have seen the river flowing fast during the summer months.

Gambling Supports

People in British Columbia will have faster, easier access to gambling supports as the Province updates Gambling Support BC with a new integrated, province wide service-delivery model that launched April 1, 2026.

“The evolving nature of the gaming industry, such as the growth of online gambling, means we need to change the way gambling supports are provided,” said Nina Krieger, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “The new service-delivery model will make accessing supports easier and more responsive for British Columbians in the moments when they need it most.”

First crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since 1972

Ihave always been a stargazer. We take a wider view of nature when considering the sky, the atmosphere, our position among the stars. There’s a lot to think about. Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency blasted off with three American astronauts in NASA’S Orion capsule. The Artemis II mission is to circle the moon and conduct experiments that will eventually lead to a moon base. China is planning much the same, and each wants to locate where they expect to find exotic minerals. Sounds like another space race. Will humans bring their tensions with them to the moon?

If you were a Big Bang Theory fan, you may recall a laughable episode where Howard was credited with inventing an improved space toilet. He’s not responsible

for NASA’S upgrade on Artemis II, called a Universal Waste Management System, but as on the TV show, there have been problems.

I read that on the first day there was a Microsoft video software problem, but they have certainly solved it. The videos and sound quality of the astronauts’ interviews are remarkable.

SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, recently reported that one of its 10,000 satellites “suffered an anomaly.”

They said “the incident appears to have created some debris, with fragments likely to fall to Earth over the next few weeks.” Hmmm.

SpaceX’s satellites can appear as lovely little pearl-like strings moving in a line. These bring internet connectivity to lonely places, but complicate astronomical observations.

Amateurs, like me, enjoy watching the sky and figuring things out. I remember the first time I saw the International Space Station passing overhead and realizing that’s what it had to be: the brightest of satellites. And years later, identifying the Starlink satellites passing in an unprecedented jewel-like procession.

But professional astronomers complain that viewing the sky is problematic nowadays, with satellites crossing the field of view, complicating and interrupting

sightings. They have developed programs to mute out those effects.

A satellite is beginning to destabilize in its orbit and NASA has plans to nudge it back in line. They have experience with this, having nudged the moonlet Dimorphos, in 2022, changing its orbit around the sun.

Planetary defense is the stuff of sci-fi, but there are people considering a project being referred to as Pulverize It. It involves potentially blowing up a threatening asteroid into minute pieces which theoretically would not pose problems. Lots to wonder about.

Bringing us back to Peachland, there is another Orion up in the sky. The magnificent constellation, Orion the Hunter, has been with us all winter. It is setting earlier and will come back in autumn for evening viewing.

Scorpius sits opposite Orion in the sky, and will soon be visible in the southern evening sky. Venus is prominent in the west after sundown, and Jupiter is bright in the west, perched above Orion. Clear skies!

POWER STRUGGLE

Constitutional rights and political realities plague wine trade barriers

Today’s feature about barriers to the inter-provincial wine trade and the attempt by our MP Dan Albas to eliminate them raises the wider question: why does the Federal government allow provinces to have the power to work in opposition to its own declared policy of eliminating inter-provincial trade barriers to create a single Canadian market?

The answer is due in part to the constitutionally protected rights of the provinces, and, equally, to the political dilemma faced by the federal government in unilaterally curtailing those rights.

The federal government does have jurisdiction over trade and commerce, but through their constitutional rights and control over matters of local interest, provinces have wide latitude to

regulate how goods are sold, distributed, and licensed within their borders. Provincially established control boards such as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) can set pricing, distribution rules, and access restrictions that effectively act as trade barriers.

So, even though Provinces do not have the right to impose tariffs they can legally implement regulatory systems that allow for price mark ups on “foreign” goods that in effect function the same way. Regulations can also create obstacles such as requiring additional testing, special certification, and packaging and labelling requirements. Mechanisms exist for inter-provincial trade negotiations, but they are politically loaded in favour of the Provinces. Provinces

POLICY MATTERS

guard their constitutional rights and know that they cannot be forced to give up their powers over local commerce. As well, monopolies such as Ontario’s LCBO create huge revenue streams that are popular with voters. Typically, inter-provincial trade disputes are addressed through negotiation but even when provinces agree in principle,

aligning regulations across all thirteen regions is complex and time consuming, often resulting in exceptions -- particularly where alcohol and food are concerned.

The efforts by Dan Albas to help BC’s wine industry are to be applauded. However, whether Ottawa is ready to open the lion’s cage and brave the consequences of imposing the required solutions seems remote -- even though the goal is consistent with longstanding federal barrier-free trade policy.

As in all things political, much has to do with timing.

KINDA KENNY

Stepping into the unknown leads to an extraordinary path

Have you ever taken a chance that stretched you out of your comfort zone only to land exactly where you were always meant to be?

Privileged to sit down with the kind hearted Marty Edwards, I heard a perfect example of just that. As many already know, Marty Edwards is a talented local musician who started as a lead vocalist and guitarist for a country band in the 1970s but it was a twist of fate 35 years ago, that put Marty on an unexpected path.

At the age of 41, Marty met his wife, Jude, and decided to write her a song. While in the recording studio, the producer asked if he had ever considered doing a Kenny Rogers impersonation act. The suggestion surprised Marty, and being entirely outside his comfort zone, it was set aside.

Years later, Marty came across a heartbreaking news story re-

HOMETOWN HEART

Teresa Harris Triggiano

garding the death of an abused child. Though deeply affected and wishing he could help, he had no idea how to be of service. Nevertheless, his wife Jude encouraged him to find a way. It was then that the couple decided to produce their first annual fundraiser to support abused children. As fate would have it, the show ended up being one performer short. Though anxious, Marty agreed to do a Kenny Rogers song to fill the gap. The feedback afterwards

NO HISTORY? KNOW HISTORY!

Local view featured on front of album cover

In the days when 33 RPM vinyl long play records were the latest fad in audio recording, replacing 48 RPM hard plastic records, a B.C. recording studio in Vancouver, Aragon Records, produced an album and for the first time ever the view from Somerset Ave. looking south was on the cover.

In the 1950’s they were sold during the Kelowna Regatta by the writer of two songs, Mrs. Fazan. The songs were named Dreamy Okanagan Moon and I Wonder If The Ogopogo’s Lonesome. Musicians were The Rythmn Pals.

was unanimous. Everyone wanted a repeat performance!

Fast forward decades and the choice to take that risk has resulted in Marty, along with his talented guitarist and music director Craig Brown, having raised thousands of dollars for the prevention and treatment of child abuse as well as remarkably having travelled to nine countries and four continents performing their Kenny Rogers impersonation show, “Kinda Kenny.” Not only have they made a significant difference in the lives of children, but in doing so launched themselves into dream careers.

As I suspected, Marty has collected some extraordinary stories along the way. Take for instance, the time Marty was in Billings, Montana at the exact same time Kenny Rogers himself was performing. Kenny just happened to be dining at a steakhouse across from where Marty was performing as “Kinda Kenny” at an outdoor concert. After watching Marty’s performance, Kenny Rogers was so impressed he sent Marty tickets with backstage passes to his own upcoming show in

order to meet him. To this day, Kenny Rogers is quoted as saying Marty is still his favourite Kenny Rogers impersonator. Or the time when Marty was at a Las Vegas Impersonator convention and had an Oprah impersonator interview him -- who turned out to be the real Oprah Winfrey. The video clip of Marty was actually used on the Oprah show! Marty even received a call from the Warner Brothers Studio. In fact, if not for the impossible time restraint of obtaining a visa, he would have had a scene in a movie starring Leonardo Di Caprio, directed by Clint Eastwood! One never knows what might come from stretching beyond our comfort zones. Marty’s willingness resulted in a remarkable career he calls “blessed.”

TRADE BARRIERS

Tackling interprovincial hurdles

TRADE FROM PAGE 1

want to collect huge markups, they treat me as a foreign wine.”

Canada is the only wine-producing country in the world that treats wine from out of province as foreign wine, subject to extensive markups, said Kubek. Bill C-262 is needed more than ever before with the U.S. now imposing or threatening to impose tariffs on so many Canadian products, but Kubek said provinces are moving in the wrong direction.

“We could solve a lot of our own issues in Canada if we truly allowed free trade, but Canada is anything but free trade. What’s happened is, with the tariffs that Mr. Trump put on, is that it really made the provinces get even more protective for their own province and not for the country.”

Ironically, under the current Canada-US-Mexico free trade rules, Canadian wine is exempt from US tariffs. Kubek pays no tariffs to sell wine in Seattle but pays a big markup to sell in Ontario or Quebec, which means Kubek’s wine sales to the U.S. are growing while his Canadian sales numbers are flat.

Member of Parliament Dan Albas agreed with Kubek that the current rules mean wine producers in Europe and the US have better access to Canadian wine drinkers than our own producers have. “There’s just patent unfairness at a time where we’re trying to strengthen the Canadian economy and come together as a country. On a moral level, on an economic level, on a consumer choice level, this makes no sense,” he said.

Bill C-262 would remove the barriers created by provincial

liquor monopolies by making interprovincial trade and interprovincial shipping subject to federal regulations. “Essentially this becomes the law of the land where a province would not be able to put up its own roadblocks. This would create a pan-Canadian national framework instead of right now where we have a patchwork of provinces that are cooperating,” Albas said. There’s no faster way for small and medium wine producers to create new sales opportunities and generate profits, Albas said. “Vintners are farmers, so if we want to support our farmers and we want to see them expand their opportunities, and employ people in the Okanagan Valley, they need to have more channels, and this is the fastest, most profitable way for them to do that,” he said. “This is the most effective and efficient channel for them because they make the most out of their farm gate and then when they can sell direct to a consumer they make the same profit because they’re not having to navigate through a system with all sorts of contracts.”

Albas has spoken about the bill in the House of Commons, and he said federal and provincial ministers and officials are looking at the bill through the Council of Internal Trade. He wants to see the legislation passed soon. “When you see farmers and vintners and all the struggles they have as small business operators, as family businesses trying to extend opportunities to employ people locally and to see that big government wall that says ‘no you can’t’ and for no good reason. They are being stifled by the walls that have been placed by governments, and we need to tear down these protectionist walls.”••

ALTERNATIVE PEST MANAGEMENT

Avoiding pests and diseases in the garden naturally

Whether you are keeping an organic garden or are not yet at the infestation level where pesticides are necessary, alternative pest and disease management choices are a great option.

Preventative measures are important and should begin with the planning of your garden. Pests and diseases will vary from year to year, depending heavily on weather, so it is important to be aware during each growing season. Monitoring your garden regularly is vital to successful pest and disease management.

floating row covers, or Kootenay covers, on your plants. These are large nets that cover your fruit or vegetables, with holes that are large enough for airflow and sunlight, but too small for flies to get through. They protect fruit or vegetables throughout their growth and eliminate the need for pesticide sprays.

reducing fungal diseases, as well as water conservation.

A simple way to avoid pests and diseases is by prevention. This could be as simple as putting on

A way of preventing powdery mildew would be by increasing air flow. Prune lower tomato branches and suckers, properly space out crops, or grow vertically to create an environment that mildew will not thrive in. Eliminating overhead watering is beneficial for

Trap crops are an excellent way to keep aphids, leafminers, and other pests away from desirable crops. A trap plant diverts pests to itself, instead of the plant you are trying to harvest. Marigolds are the classic trap crop example. They attract thrips, slugs, and aphids, instead of them being drawn to your vegetables or herbs. Having nasturtiums in the garden will attract aphids to themselves, instead of the aphids infecting your tomatoes, peppers,

garden. They provide food, shelter, and sometimes breeding grounds for beneficial insects.

Dill draws many favourable insects, while also being a practical edible herb. Alyssum draws ladybugs, lacewings, and hoverflies, and is drought tolerant (once established) and showy.

Lacewings are a fantastic beneficial insect -- larvae feed on aphids, whitefly, thrips, and leafhoppers. Adults are minor pollinators, which are always valuable to have around. They are not as strong fliers as ladybugs,

or other vegetables. Nasturtiums also draw cabbage moths and whiteflies, so your broccoli and greens will be left alone. If the trap plant gets severely infected, dig it up and throw it in the garbage. Do not put it in the compost, because the pests will find their way back to your garden. Last season my Swiss chard became an unintentional trap plant, luring the leafminers away from my spinach. The chard was well worth the sacrifice of having a pest free spinach crop.

Banker plants are also a great addition to the home vegetable

so they will most likely stay around your garden longer.

Pests and diseases are a regular part of gardening, but with precautionary steps can be very manageable. It is important to adapt, observe, and plant intentionally as much as possible. Plant stress is often the first visible sign, so get out in your garden and learn all the dirt.

BRADLEY DRIVE ROAD NAME OF THE WEEK

This road that runs off Sanderson Avenue was named for Frank Bradley who served as a councillor in 1934 and 1935, and again in 1948 and 1949. He also served as an Irrigation District Trustee.

Frank Bradley and his wife Rosetta (known as Tett) came to Winnipeg from Sheffield, England in 1920. Finding the winters too severe, they came on to Peachland in 1922 and spent the rest of their lives here.

Frank and Rosetta worked first as orchardists and later went into the dairy business. They lived in various places in Peachland, but

eventually settled on a 40-acre property on Sanderson Avenue, which their son Frank Jr. later took over.

Frank and Rosetta were both active in the Legion where they are particularly remembered for the English-style fish and chips that Frank cooked for various functions and the pork pies that Rosetta made, especially at Christmas.

Frank Sr. died in 1957 and Rosetta in 1969. Their son Frank Jr. and his wife Martha (who died in 1982 and 1980 respectively) had four children who themselves had families. However, none now live in Peachland.
