IT’S A TEAM THING

Wildfire Service pulls resources globally and from down the street

By Jeff McDonalD local JournalisM initiative reporter

As we head into the peak of BC’s wildfire season, demand for firefighting resources – air tankers, heavy equipment, firefighters on the ground – will put pressure on the supply of same.

So should Peachlanders, with large fires already burning in the province, feel confident that the BC Wildfire Service has the resources to handle a major wildfire here during peak fire season?

Yes, they should, said Shaelee Stearns, fire information officer for the Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes Peachland. Resources are moved quickly between the six provincial fire centres and zones within them,

said Stearns. “If one zone is in like a higher fire load, has more fires on the board or higher hazard, that’s also something that’s shared throughout our region, looking at where to allocate those resources as needed,” she said.

Dale Bojahra is the senior wildfire officer of preparedness at the Kamloops Fire Centre. He said the Wildfire Service is well-prepared for the season and is built to get firefighting staff and equipment to where a fire breaks out. “We have excellent resource capabilities. We’re built on a program that moves resources around, right? You don’t have all the firefight-

SMALL WONDERS

Collecting glimmers brings a heightened awareness of good around us

Have you ever felt as though you were waiting to be happy? As if life will finally be better, once that one difficult or stressful thing is mercifully resolved or blessedly over? I call this, “The I’ll Be Happy When Syndrome.” At some point, nearly everyone I know has been afflicted with it -- including myself. “I’ll be happy when I lose 15 pounds.” “I’ll be happy when I make more money.”

Logically, we know that no singular longed for circumstance can bring permanent happiness. Happiness, as it turns out, is an inside job and not necessarily always about external events. Besides, even if events do bring temporary joy, inevitably something new once again arises that we wish were different.

So how do we source happiness? Recently, I heard of a new trend called, “collecting glimmers.” Traditionally, the word “glimmer” means, “a faint, flickering light.” In popular culture however, the phrase “collecting glimmers” describes the purposeful habit of noting small moments that connect us to peace and joy. It’s about the simple practice of mindfully noticing the extraordinary

within our everyday lives. For example, purposefully appreciating the magical way light shimmers on the lake, mindfully soaking up a cool breeze on a hot day, or being fully present when your dog gleefully races to greet you. Though individually these snapshots of daily life may be thought of as small wonders, when we choose to mindfully notice and collect them, they tap us into a sense of joy. I decided to give this “collecting glimmers” thing a try. Not long ago, for some annoying and unexplained reason, I began to wake up well before dawn. On more than one such morning, I lay wide awake cursing menopause until it occurred to me that I was actually up early enough to catch the sunrise. Surely, I thought to myself, a sunrise would offer a

“glimmer” moment. Leaping out of bed, I threw on clothes, raced to my favourite pier and arrived just in time to witness what can only be described as a miraculous sunrise. Standing in the crisp air at the end of the pier, watching the emerging sun, the value of mindfully “collecting glimmers” hooked me. I immediately made a promise to soak up more.

BEGIN YOUR OWN GLIMMER COLLECTION:

• Slow Down: Pause for just a few seconds between tasks to observe your environment

• Spot the Everyday: Look for things like the warmth of your coffee mug, or a cool breeze through the trees

• Linger and Appreciate: When you notice a glimmer, pause to acknowledge it

Shortly after, a remarkable group of women who call themselves “The Frozen Peaches” extended an invitation to do just that. Once a week, through fall, winter, and spring they gather in the morning to cold plunge in the lake. The timing of their invitation, however, caught me after a difficult week and to be honest I wasn’t sure I had the energy.

You see, this particular plunge was to take place at midnight. Thankfully, I realized it for the remarkable opportunity to spend time with an amazing group of women and gratefully accepted. We met under a sky full of stars, amicably chatted until midnight,

and then in moonlight, plunged into the lake. Standing collarbone deep in invigoratingly cold water, I took a mental snapshot of the brave women around me, the starry sky above me and with gratitude, banked it as an extraordinary “glimmer.”

PART THREE OF NINE

Peachland Climate Action Plan Focus: Water

By JuDy Wyper

The Mariposa lily is blooming in our hills. It emerges in the heat. Our level 5 drought and lack of rain isn’t bothering the ones I’ve come across. They store water in their bulbs and poof!

In striking contrast, Peachlanders use a lot of water. Per-person, we use more than double the Canadian average, and more than other towns in the Okanagan.

But we don’t have an endless supply of water. Our source is Peachland Lake, replenished by rain and snow, almost 30 kilometres from downtown. Water flows downhill to the water treatment plant that’s about 200 metres above Okanagan Lake. If there are problems with water quantity, there is a costly backup Lake Okanagan pump system.

The Peachland Lake watershed is outside of our district’s jurisdiction, on Crown Land and unceded syilx territory. A lot goes

on in the watershed, some of it potentially harming the quality of water going to our WTP: logging, mining, cattle ranging, dirt biking, boating, and campfires.

The district has no authority to regulate activities in the watershed, yet it is responsible for providing safe drinking water to residents and supplying water for irrigation, fires, fish and emergencies. Water is focus #3 of the Peachland Climate Action Plan. The recommendations are abbreviated.

OBJECTIVES

1. Prioritize water supply, use, and conservation.

2. Peachlanders reduce daily personal water consumption to below 250 liters/day by 2030.

3. Establish a Watershed Council which gives the district a voice in the stewardship of the watershed along with the province and the syilx Nation.

RECOMMENDED

DISTRICT ACTIONS

D3.1 Support the Peachland Wa-

tershed Governance Project.

D3.2 Adopt the syilx Water Declaration as the foundation for water management.

D3.3 Conduct a watershed cumulative effects study to describe the state of the watershed and its ability to support a reliable water supply, mitigate flood events, turbidity, landslides and wildfires.

D3.4 Apply to the Watershed Security Strategy and Fund to help develop a water and watershed protection plan. Report annually.

D3.5 Update policies to support water conservation. (As of July 2, the Spray Park operates with reduced water pressure from from 1 to 5 PM. There will be reduced irrigation at Lambley Park.)

D3.6 Provide District incentives to support water conservation practices.

D3.7 Implement by-laws for funding to assist residents in Water Smarting.

D3.8 Introduce tiered pricing on District water bills.

RECOMMENDED

RESIDENT ACTIONS

R3.1 Reduce water consumption.

R3.2 Uncover leaks and discover how to minimize water use and costs.

R3.3 Take water-saving measures.

• Install rain barrels/cisterns to collect water for gardening and landscapes.

• Replace grass lawns with xeriscapes using shrubs and trees to maintain shade and create rain gardens using native species.

• Use drip irrigation, which uses 30%-50% less water.

• Avoid sprinkling on windy days.

R3.4 Book a free tour of the district’s water treatment plant to see how drinking water is captured, cleaned, and disinfected.

R3.5 Become better informed on water issues by seeking out information on the Peachland Lake watershed. peachlandwpa.org

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

An old sprayer gets a refreshing update

Dear Editor,

The orchard sprayer which sits in the front yard of the Peachland Museum was looking a little sad and neglected. Until recently, one of its tires was flat as a pancake and the rubber was shredded from age and sitting in the same place for years.

Our neighbour, Stu Mennie decided that action was needed. With the help of Grant Topham

(labour and supplies) and Frank from Lakeside Auto, (labour, parts and fixins) the old orchard sprayer is now sporting a new tire and tube and looks a whole lot happier.

The team at the Peachland Museum would like to thank Stu, Grant and Frank for their generosity of spirit in taking the initiative to fix the venerable old sprayer.

With much appreciation, Don, Jeff, Sebastian, Lily, Barb and Jack

Kudos from an appreciative reader

Dear Peachland Post Editorial Team,

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the fantastic work you do in publishing our local newspaper. It is truly a staple of our community, and your efforts do not go unnoticed. I especially love that the paper brings our community together by utilizing dedicated volunteers. It really shows the heart and spirit of Peachland, and it makes reading it even more special.

Beyond keeping us thoroughly informed with excellent local news, I always look forward to perusing the events listings and checking out the “Musings” section. I also have to commend you on the Sudoku puzzles—the rating levels are absolutely spot on and provide the perfect amount of challenge!

Most importantly, I want to highlight how incredibly valuable your local advertising postings are. I firmly believe in supporting local business first before looking elsewhere. To date, I have already used four of the service providers advertised in your pages with great success. As new needs arise, I fully intend to keep adding to that total and supporting more of our local businesses.

Thank you to the staff and all the wonderful volunteers for your dedication to delivering a high-quality newspaper that keeps our community connected and thriving. Keep up the wonderful work!

Warm regards, Archie Luccisano Peachland Resident

TWO SIDES

Thank you MOTI for the Trepanier traffic light but please listen to naysayers

If comments on Facebook are a reliable guide, the Trepanier Road traffic light is either a long awaited blessing or a disaster waiting to happen.

For those seeing it as a blessing, myself included, it no longer means an extended wait time before risking life and limb to turn left from Trepanier onto Hwy 97. It also eliminates the added frustration that just when you hope to dart through an anticipated gap someone wanting to turn right pulls up beside you blocking your view. Grrrr. And another bonus. After giving up on any possibility of making that left turn, you no longer have to turn right and do a U-turn

at the Clements Crescent traffic light. So, all in all, for left turn out drivers it’s safer, it’s quicker, and it’s better for your blood pressure.

And what about turning right?

If you happen to hit a green then you can now just zip around the corner and be on your way. And even if you arrive to a red your wait time is now at a predictable and reasonable interval unlike in peak summer time when the wait can go on, and on, and on. Grrrr.

So, what is there not to like?

In part this depends on where you live. If you are used to entering Trepanier and turning up Desert Pines you can no longer do that. Now you must drive up Trepanier and circle back via

POLICY MATTERS

Keith Fielding

Coldham. Grrrr if you live on the lower portion of Desert Pines. And if you live on Buchanan or use it as your exit to the Highway the only current option is to turn right. That means a hike along Beach Avenue to 13th where you can exit at the traffic light. For

those affected that’s a Grrrr. Other complaints focus on: the absence of an advance green at the Trepanier light where drivers will wait for ages to cross causing back ups that may even block the northbound lane; and, on the Hwy 97 medians that prevent left turns from Huston and Buchanan: people will drive into them or short circuit their intent by doing unsafe U-turns, it is claimed. We shall see.

BEE HAPPY

Tiny habitats draw in essential pollinators

Pollinators are an integral part of our ecosystem. Animal pollinators are responsible for the reproduction of the majority of flowering plants. They contribute to roughly one-third of our food crops, which improves fruit set and size. Many native species are declining, due to climate change, habitat loss, and increased use of pesticides. A diverse garden is the best way to get successful pollination. Different colours of blooms attract different species of pollinators. There needs to be blooms throughout the growing season to attract and maintain your pollinator populations. In the Okanagan, bees are the most successful pollinators. We have 350 native species, including bumblebees, sweat bees, and miner bees. Insect hotels work great for

housing mason bees, but you can also leave hollow stems like elderberries (Sambucus) and joe pyeweed (Eupatorium) in your garden to provide them with shelter.

Miner bees prefer bare soil to burrow in. Bees prefer blue, purple, and yellow single petaled flowers. Coneflower (Echinacea), cranesbill (Geranium spp.), and catmint (Nepeta racemosa) are highly attractive to different types of bees.

Hummingbirds are attracted to vibrant red and oranges. They like tubular and trumpet shaped blooms that are easy for their beaks to seek nectar. Hummingbirds and specific flowers have co-evolved, with the flowers becoming the ideal shape for hummingbirds’ beaks, and the plants relying solely on hummingbirds for pollination. Some other adaptations include lack of

petals on the flowers, since hummingbirds hover and don’t need a ‘landing pad.’ Things like bee balm (Monarda), red columbine (Aquilegia formosa), and Hummingbird mint (Agastache) are all great picks for hummingbirds.

Butterflies like a variety of colours -- red, orange, yellow, and darker hues like purple and blue. They need flat topped blooms that have space for them to land. Butterflies are not as efficient as bees for pollination but are necessary for wildflowers and late season blooms. Butterfly puddlers and pieces of fruit will give them a place to rest and eat.

Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) provides nectar from mid summer through late fall to many local and migrating butterfly species. It does spread through rhizomes, so plant it somewhere it can expand, or in a buried pot in your garden.

Night pollinators such as moths like white blooms and strongly scented flowers. Mock orange (Philadelphus lewisii) is a great option for night time pollinators and others such as hoverflies. Creating a habitat for pollinators at each stage is such an important part of a thriving garden - and successful agriculture. Having plants that bloom in shoulder seasons ensures that pollinators have sufficient food.

Pussywillows (Salix discolor) and Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) are early spring bloomers. Bluebeard (Caryopteris) and asters are great options for late fall blooms.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) attracts the widest variety of pollinators, like bees, wasps, hoverflies, and butterflies. Be sure to create small habitats and attractants for pollinators of all types.

Leaf cleanup should be done in late spring, once the pollinators are awake, or even left for mulch to provide shelter. These small steps will help sustain our agriculture crops and ensure successful home gardens.

SHARED RESOURCES

Relationships, trust key to interagency cooperation fighting wildfires

TEAM FROM PAGE 1

ers you’re going to need for the Penticton zone for the season in Penticton zone. Some seasons, yes. But if it’s a year where the Okanagan is busy, we will be a net importer. We will be bringing in crews from other zones, other areas of the province,” he said.

Not only that, said Bojahra, who has decades of firefighting experience, interprovincial and international agreements let B.C. pull resources from across the country and globally. “We also have agreements with our partners in the US as well that can allow us to bring resources in from there. So and then even beyond that, we can go outside of North America even. We’ve got incredible partnerships around the world and those do continue.”

The resource challenge comes when other provinces and countries are also having busy fire seasons, said Bojahra. “It gets interesting when many agencies are all experiencing high fire load at the same time. That’s when things start to get stretched a little thin. But again, we do our best to prepare for those and reposition things where we believe we’re going to get those starts,” he said.

Firefighters from the Peachland Fire Department are trained to fight wildland fires as well as structure fires. Bojahra, who used to work with Peachland fire chief Ian Cummings in Armstrong, said strong communication and trust allow municipal fire departments and the Wildfire Service to work together effectively to fight fires, as they did last year in Peachland. Bojahra spends time building relationships with local fire departments and agencies throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre region, and he’s worked with them for many years through many fires.

“Most of it comes through the experience of having been through these events, looking at how the event went, and then meeting and discussing what we need to improve on,” Bojahra said. “And because we work at that relationship and we respect each other as professionals, we really do have an open and honest relationship with our structural partners, and we often meet to discuss just this, how do we coordinate? And so it really comes down to good relationships, good collaboration, and building trust through our professional relationships. And I think that’s where you see quite a seamless operation here locally.”

Most wildfires are reported by people calling 911 or calls to the Provincial Wildfire Reporting Centre at 1-800-663-5555, or *5555 from a cell phone. But Bojahra said the BC Wildfire Services app, easily downloadable from the App Store to mobile devices, is an effective way to report a fire that most people don’t know about. The app makes it easy for people who spot what might be a fire to submit photos, which Bojahra said helps Wildfire Service staff tremendously in the triage process – deciding if it’s necessary to respond, and if so, with what resources.

“If you’re looking at smoke and you’re trying to describe that to an operator on the phone and using your eyes and your expe-

rience versus sending a photo in and having someone like me who’s got 30 years’ experience looking at that photo, what do you think is going to translate into a better picture, a better situational awareness picture? And it quite literally is that scenario where a picture is worth a thousand words,” said Bojahra. He also noted the Wildfire Services app will geolocate the report so that they know precisely where to find the potential fire.

As with any fire, Bojahra the resources dedicated to a wildfire in the Penticton zone near Peachland depends on proximity to homes and buildings, important infrastructure, and highways.

As for the potential severity of this year’s fire season, even though wildfires are already burning, Bojahra said even though

the snowpack was low last winter and the drought is now years long, there’s simply no way to know at this point, even in early July. He did acknowledge that it could be a tough season.

“So it will really come down to the length of time we go between receiving precipitation and how much precipitation we get during those events. We got some rain this June. I don’t know that it gets us out of the deficit that we saw earlier in the season,” he said.

“I won’t know what fire season is going to be until September. But I think we’re not looking towards a slow season currently, unless we see frequent rain. Are we looking at an extreme season? There’s no way we can tell.”••

STAY INVOLVED

Plenty of ways to remain engaged in the community as we age

An age-friendly community fosters healthy aging. Aging in place refers to a person able to live in their own home for as long as possible.

A support network can aid a person to live independently, to develop coping skills, manage stress, be resilient, and enjoy mental and physical well-being. What does that look like? It’s friends, acquaintances, family, community. At different times these can provide emotional support, empathy, remind you of your capabilities, help deal with challenges, reduce isolation, help with transportation, and help reduce stress. Yes, I know, family and friends can add stress, but I did say, at different times.

As I look at the POST EVENTS page of this paper, I see multiple chances for social interaction. Getting out and among others is good for you. You may even make a new friend.

Even though it’s summer and lots of groups have stopped for a couple of months, there are still possibilities for getting amongst others. Visit the museum or the Art Gallery. Browse in the Our Space market. Check out the bat exhibit. Join a class offered at the Recreation Centre, or the workshops offered by the Peachland Arts Council and Okanagan Folk School. Have a meal at the Legion and

This road, as well as Drought Hill, is named for three brothers, Henry, John and Albert Drought, who came from Morris, Manitoba and purchased the land on either side of the present Highway 97 on Drought Hill in 1904.

At the time, the land was at the northeast corner of the community of Trepanier. The brothers planted orchards on the land and built their houses.

John Drought served as a councillor in 1913 and his two sons, Ted and Geoff, ran the orchards for many years. The land remained in the family until 2007, when the orchards

is quite marvellous. Drivers are carefully vetted. Riders are interviewed. The reasonable rate charged is based on distance. While you ride, you meet the friendly driver and have a great long conversation with a lot of laughs. When it comes to being age-friendly, Peachland has a lot to offer.

With Lou and Martha

With the warm weather we wanted something light, refreshing and flavoursome besides ice cream! These Lemon Squares with a buttery crust and a soft, tangy lemon filling on top hit the brief. You can cut them as large as you like and adjust the tanginess to your preference. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

CRUST:

2 cups of flour

1/2 cup of sugar (we used a little less)

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of butter cut into small cubes.

FILLING:

1 1/2 cups of sugar

(again we used a bit less)

1/4 cup flour

4 large eggs

Zest and juice of 4 medium sized lemons

(NOTE: We used 3 large lemons which yielded 1 cup of lemon juice and 5 healthy teaspoons of lemon zest. This gave a good lemon punch without making our mouths pucker too much. Our guests also enjoyed the tartness.) Powdered sugar for topping

METHOD:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 11-by-7-inch baking dish or pan with butter. Don’t hold back on greasing the dish or you can line it with parchment paper and use a dab of butter here and there to help keep it in place.

Lemon Squares

2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and crumble as you would when prepping a pie crust until it resembles fine crumbs. We used a food processor and it worked like a charm. Press into the prepared dish (I know it seems strange), bake until golden around the edges, about 25 minutes.

3. For the filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Crack in the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the lemon zest and juice, and mix until combined. Pour over the crust (no need to cool it,

honest) and bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. It will jiggle just a bit.

4. Allow to cool in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours, then sift powdered sugar over the top before cutting into squares. Keep them in an airtight container for up to four days (if they last that long) in the fridge.
