FREE FLAGS

Parliament Hill flags free... but waiting list is long

GREAT

NEWS: Canadian flags flown on Parliament Hill are given away free to Canadians.

LOUSY NEWS: you won’t get one until you’re pushing daisies.

By Jeff McDonalD local JournalisM initiative reporter

Raised for the first time on Parliament Hill in 1965, the Canadian flag with its distinctive maple leaf and bold red and white is recognizable around

the world. There are usually five Canadian flags flying on the hill at any given time. One flies over the Peace Tower, which is changed every day except statutory holidays and half-masting. Flags also fly on each side of the Centre Block, over the West Block and East Block. These are changed weekly and for half-masting. But visitors to Parliament Hill these days know that the Centre Block is being restored, so no flag is flying on the east side, and only four are flying for now.

Every time a flag is changed, the government gives it away to a Canadian. To get one, you fill out a form online. You’d think that with all those flag changes, there would be plenty to go around.

But in fact, even if you fill

JULY 1

Canada’s birthday party took a while to arrive

The July 1 birthday bash we know as Canada Day, with fireworks and parades and music and cake with red and white icing, is enjoyed now by millions of Canadians coast to coast to coast. But it took a long time to become the celebration we know today.

Canada was born on July 1, 1867, the day the British North America Act united Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into one dominion. July 1 was called Dominion Day and a government decree made it a statutory holiday in 1879.

Little happened in the way of official celebration until 50 years later. On July 1, 1917, the Parliament buildings were dedicated to the Fathers of Confederation and to Canadians fighting overseas in the First World War. A decade later on July 1, 1927, the Peace Tower Carillon on Parlia-

ment Hill was inaugurated.

Not until 1958 did the federal government begin to put together Dominion Day ceremonies with military music and fireworks. By 1979, this had evolved into a big multicultural music and dance festival on Parliament Hill, and the grand bash was broadcast on television across the country.

capital began to take on lives of their own back then, with public gatherings and fireworks in cities and towns across Canada.

But it still wasn’t called Canada Day until 1982, after the patriation of our constitution in April of that year. Celebrations outside of the

NO HISTORY? KNOW HISTORY!

Other highlights in the intervening years: in 2010, Canada Day celebrations had the flavour of royalty, when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh

were in Ottawa to help celebrate Canada’s 143rd anniversary.

The following year saw Their Royal Highnesses Prince William and Catherine, Duke and

Duchess of Cambridge, party with Canadians on Parliament Hill. And in 2017, to mark Canada’s 150th, the current king and queen dropped into Ottawa to help us celebrate.

For 2025, Canada Day seemed to take on extra meaning as threats to Canadian sovereignty emanated from south of the border.

For 2026, in additional to the usual party in Ottawa, Canada Day festivities in Ottawa will include a Snowbirds flyby, an Order of Canada investiture ceremony.

It should be noted that not everyone thinks Canada Day is cause for celebration.

For some, July 1 ignores the country’s history of what they would term oppression and genocide of First Nations peoples, systemic injustices for non-white minorities and institutional racism.

PART TWO OF NINE

Peachland Climate Action Plan

The Peachland Climate Action Plan was developed over two and a half years by local citizens who volunteered on the Peachland Climate Action Task Force.

This second of the nine sections is Food and Agriculture. A resilient Peachland is food secure with a diverse, dependable, and climate friendly food system. It is best to move toward a plant-based diet, produce and obtain a variety of local foods, and minimize food waste.

Plant-based proteins like tofu/ soy, nuts, lentils and beans produce fewer greenhouse gases and are cheaper to buy. Meat production takes way more agricultural land. Livestock emit methane gas at a rate 10-100 times higher than the production of equivalent amounts of plant-based proteins.

Buying locally reduces pollution. The production, processing, packaging and transportation of food all add to greenhouse gas emissions.

Food waste in the landfill slowly rots and releases methane, a gas that lasts in the atmosphere longer than carbon dioxide, adding to global heating.

RECOMMENDED DISTRICT ACTIONS:

• D2.1 Set an example by increasingly emphasizing and encouraging climate-friendly choices for food consumed at district events. When possible, offer plant-based and locally sourced food. Separate food waste and compost.

• D2.2 Encourage and support residents and organizations in their efforts to grow and eat local food. Examples: home gardens;

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

expand community gardens; develop community greenhouses and regional food initiatives; responsible foraging, hunting, and fishing; and promote food preservation and composting. Partner with organizations for workshops and courses through recreation programmes, fostering associations of local gardeners, outreach via the Fall Fair, outreach to restaurants, and community engagement. Make clear to residents how water restrictions relate to gardening.

• D2.3 Work with the RDCO and others to see that organic and yard waste is diverted from the landfill to be composted in appropriate facilities. This would involve the establishment of and education about: curbside collection of residential and commercial food waste; a transfer station for larger quantities of yard waste which residents have typically driven to the landfill.

• D2.4 Support the Food Bank and other measures to ensure vulnerable residents do not go hungry and can access healthy and sustainable food. Consider a system for sharing excess food, and a community-led food security committee.

• D2.5 Encourage and facilitate local farm operations to reduce the climate pollution from their farming activities by transitioning to electric farm equipment, best practices relating to use of fertilizers and pest management, and the reduction of plastic

use in farming operations.

• D2.6 Encourage local commercial growers to transition to sustainable and resilient crops that support local food security. RECOMMENDED RESIDENT ACTIONS:

• R2.1 Reduce or eliminate your consumption of meat. Eating more plant-based proteins reduces your climate pollution and saves money.

• R2.2 Grow and preserve foods and/or to try to source local foods through farmer’s markets, sharing with neighbours, and responsible foraging.

• R2.3 Maintain an emergency sup-

ply of shelf-stable food and water for at least three days in your homes, in case of an emergency.

• R2.4 Make every effort to reduce food waste and to properly compost or dispose of any unavoidable waste. Lots of options. Some are costly and off in the future. Some can be done quickly. We each have our part in this community. What will you do?

DIRT CHEAP

Cut down on gardening costs

Many think that gardening is an expensive hobby (and it can be!), but there are a lot of ways to create a garden on a budget. You don’t need fancy raised beds, expensive soil, or even costly equipment. Here are some ways you can cut down on costs in your home garden. Instead of buying or building

GOOD GARDENING

raised beds, you can plant directly in the ground. Peachland soil is usually rocky, which creates great drainage for roots. You may need to amend the soil to add some nutrients, but this can be done with compost. This might be an initial cost to invest in, but starting your own compost can provide free, nutrient-rich soil in the future.

The Peachland Library has an incredible free Seed Library. You can choose and take home up to 10 packets, and all you have to do is return your saved seeds in the fall. Seed saving is very simple and will provide you with an abundance of seeds not only for the donations back to the library, but for your crops for the next season.

Ten different varieties is a great start -- choose the vegetables, fruit, or herbs that you eat the most of, and start there. Packages include multiple seeds, so you can grow numerous plants of your favourite varieties. High yield plants such as tomatoes and zucchini will ensure you have large amounts to harvest.

Seed starting doesn’t require

you to go out and buy new seed strays. Many plants can be sown directly into the garden and thrive better this way versus being transplanted. If you want to get a head start on the growing season, using old plastic fruit containers is a great way to eliminate this cost.

Berry containers already have drainage holes, and a lid to keep moisture in during seed germination. The only caution for these would be to not overwater them, as it is a large container for seed starting. Egg cartons are a great size, and cardboard ones will eventually compost once planted. Starting certain seeds indoors, such as tomatoes and peppers, may require supplemental lighting, and would add to your gardening cost significantly.

Online garden communities are also a great resource to find free plants. Facebook Marketplace, or specific groups like Peachland Garden are great places to look. Each spring or fall when

people are dividing their perennials, they often offer free divisions. ou can regrow scraps from produce, such as herbs, green onions, and lettuce. I place mine in a glass and near a window, let them root, and eventually plant them out in my garden.

Fall is a perfect time to find sales at garden centres, and also the ideal time to plant. Nurseries don’t want to overwinter their plants, so they often have blowout sales. Fall is optimal planting weather, because the soil stays warm from the sun, allowing the roots to fully establish before going dormant for

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Electric motorcycles are not street legal

Dear Editor, I write this letter to discuss a serious issue growing in Peachland… electric motorcycles. A poster created by the RCMP to raise awareness of the increasing problem of electric motorcycles is included at right.

This problem is increasing rapidly in Peachland with individuals riding and stunt riding on sidewalks, roads, Turner Park and on Beach Avenue, which is creating a danger to residents as well as to the riders themselves. I have been approached by the mayor as well as the District of Peachland Bylaws

Officer and have received many emails from Peachland residents regarding this issue. The problem also includes gas powered dirt bikes.

The Municipality is frustrated as there seems to be no way to curb this behaviour other than parental education. Most individuals appear to be underage without a valid drivers license and the bikes are probably uninsured. Parents need to know that they are liable financially for what their underage child does. It can be extremely costly to them. Unfortunately the parents obviously are not aware that these electric and gas motorcycles are not street legal.

winter. The days have started to cool off, so the plant doesn’t suffer from the scorching sun.

Growing your own food is a wonderful way to create food security, for yourself as well as the community. Gardening is a fulfilling hobby that doesn’t need to cost you your savings. Starting small and adding each year will minimize initial costs, and eventually gardening will become dirt cheap!

Megan Gooder lives in Peachland and is a Production Horticulturalist with a background in Permaculture and Landscape Design.

They are also not aware of the fines that these riders may incur which can be substantial if caught. There are many places off road where these motorcycles can be used and enjoyed safely.

Regards, Gary Hedge, President Peachland Community Policing

MYSTERIOUS INCIDENT

Strange goings and comings at Peachland Post

As a child I used to read a comic called ‘Eagle.’ It was an intriguing mix of sci-fi space travel with captain Dan Dare, stories about interesting scientific discoveries, some puzzles, and always advertisements enticing me to save my pocket money to buy a magic set, a DIY model airplane kit, or even a desert survival water bottle.

One product that intrigued me was disappearing ink. You could use it to send a message to spy headquarters, where it would be read and acted upon, after which there was no possibility of anyone else seeing it because the message would have disappeared!

I never did invest in a bottle and forgot all about disappearing ink until later in life -- last week in

fact! That was when news broke that the ink that had disappeared, along with the paper it was printed on, was that of Peachland Post.

Our team of volunteers had, as usual, spent Friday morning delivering the paper to all the pick-up tubes around town. They also provided copies to the usual outlets on Beach Avenue and at IGA. So,

imagine our surprise when that afternoon we learned that all copies everywhere had been removed. We knew that the paper was popular with many readers, but surely not THAT popular!

What then could explain their disappearance? Speculation mounted. Was someone moving house and needing to protect their chinaware? Were bird cages everywhere being cleaned out? Had we offended a reader who wanted to limit distribution? Was it a foolish Grad prank? We didn’t know the answer and we still don’t. And, because we have no supporting information, we don’t care to speculate.

But the mystery was not over. On Saturday, copies of the paper began to reappear! A small number

back at IGA, some tubes partially restocked, and some other pick-up points similarly replenished.

We were saddened to find one pick up tube vandalized and were disappointed to think that in our efforts to report accurately on matters of significance to the community we may have provoked someone to act irrationally. We can only hope that the reappearance of many of the papers is associated with such a person’s regret and return to normalcy, rather than the fact that we reported the matter to the RCMP.

FREE FLAG

Wait list long for Canadian flag

LEAF FROM PAGE 1

out that form today, you’ll need at least a century on this earth before you get yours. The ‘request a flag’ page on canada. ca notes “the waiting period for both the Peace Tower and other Parliament Hill flags exceeds 100 years. We can only donate one flag per person and flags are only donated to Canadian residents.”

The Peace Tower flag must be especially coveted. The process of replacing it each day requires a government employee to fold and place a new flag in a satchel and ride an elevator to the tower’s observation deck some 60 metres off the ground. Another 33 metres of stairs and ladders takes that staffer to the Peace Tower flagpole. The flying flag is lowered and a

new one raised on the 10.7 metre pole. The flag to be given to the next Canadian in line might be a little wind-blown but it won’t be soiled: no part of the flag is allowed to touch the ground during the 20 to 30-minute process.

Before the distinctive maple leaf, the Red Ensign was flown from government buildings and the national flag of Canada was the Union Jack. In 1964, an all-party committee gathered some 2,600 potential designs for the new flag from Canadians in a competitive process. Soldier, author, professor and public servant George Stanley provided the design with the bold maple leaf and two vertical red bars. After some design tweaks, it became the new flag in 1965. Stanley passed away in 2002.••

Busy weekend in Peachland sports

Peachland’s Adult Co-ed Spring three-day season end slo-pitch tournament ended June 21 with the TNI Thunder winning 18-9 over the Diggers in the final, played at Cousins Park.

LOCAL COMMUNITY SPORTS

Scott Davis and Jess Seward were players of the game for TNI. Both Cousin’s Park field and the new field at Turner Park were used by the eight teams. This is the most popular outdoor sporting event in Peachland.

The TNI Thunder are Steve Allison, Jordan Allison, Scott Davis, Josh Christianson, Taylor Christianson, Josh Christianson, Jess Seward, Lynnette MacKenzie, George Cain, James Mckerrow, Holly Mckerrow, Kris Klumpner, Ian Rankin, Thomas

Vincent, Kiwa Hernandez, Coral Russell, and Monika Axwik.

Scorekeeper: Cheryl Allison

Peachland Youth soccer had all five teams in action June 20 with the 6-7 year old Peachland boys U8 mini team and girls mini team playing their final game of the season at Summerland’s Dale Meadows Park.

Ryan Onyschuk co-coaches the Peachland Mini Boys with Ali Bani Sadr, and reports, “The Peachland U8 boys had an outstanding season. They have to be right up there with the best teams in the South Okanagan. More importantly they are playing soccer daily with classmates and friends they will have for life. Enjoying winning as a team and occasionally losing as a team. Learning that listening and working hard in practice over the last two years translates to success on the soccer pitch and hopefully realizing this spills over into all aspects of life as they grow into men.”

The Peachland U8 boys soccer team members are Jasper Onyschuk, Tracker Braun, Boston Eccles, Quinton King, Carsen Sawyer, Fox Jenkins, Mack Cheng,

Max Lapczynski, Walker Lnd, Griffin Jones, Milo Tassone, Milo Luccisano, and Miles Anaya.

The U9/10 Peachland boys played Summerland in Penticton on June 20, winning the game with Peachland’s Max Stripling, Lincoln Bishuty, Tyson McIntyre, Jaden Forster, Ben Sawyer all scoring goals for Peachland. Chase Braun was outstanding in Peachland goal. Auston Bowers, Archie Manson, Carsen Charlesworth all had strong games at midfield/ forward, with each of them unselfishly setting up others for goals. Sawyer “the Destroyer” Hann-Cox and Dominic “the Dominator” Boden were rock solid on defence.

U12 Girls Co-coach Armando Rosas reports, “The Peachland Evil Peaches U12 girls soccer team continued their impressive run June 20, earning a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Osoyoos despite having no substitutes available for the match, played in Oliver. Clara Rosas delivered an outstanding performance in goal, stopping seven of eight shots she faced. Sloan Hann-Cox set the tone on the field, organizing the defense while helping direct the forwards and

wingers into position. She consistently encouraged her teammates to keep passing, moving the ball, and playing with confidence. Anna Winkler provided the offense, scoring both goals for the Evil Peaches. Lylah Wright demonstrated toughness throughout the game, while Ruby Manson controlled the pace of play with her strong dribbling skills. Aizley Palmer used her speed effectively and showcased skills that continue to emerge as the season progresses. Janet Guderyan proved her versatility again by contributing at both ends of the field, and Penny Bickert maintained her trademark positive attitude while willingly playing whatever position the team needed.”

A busy, fun early summer weekend for adults and children, playing and watching Peachland community sports.

Randey Brophy has coached youth soccer and baseball for 32 years. He spearheaded the drive for Turner Park to be redeveloped as a multiuse field in 2022 and formed the Peachland Youth Soccer club in 2023. He also manages and plays on a Peachland seniors slo-pitch team.

NATURE’S RHYTHM

Seasonal eating to help cool your heat this summer

In Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science and a 5000 year old medical practice, the summer is referred to as “Pitta” time. Pitta means heat in Sanskrit, an ancient classical language of India.

Many people have very “pitta” qualities in their body type. Some of these are visually noticeable, such as fair skin with freckles, or blonde hair, blue or green eyes. They burn easily and flush, hot flash or sweat when embarrassed, angry or overwhelmed. They are more subject to emotional anger, rashes, fevers, hay fever, heat stroke, sunburns, and muscle cramping. They are likely to be aggravated in their internal skin by spicy foods, fermented lactic acid, fermenting foods (kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut), alcoholic beverages, other acidic foods and this can lead to acid reflux, burping, bloating, nausea, sharp cramps, diarrhea and more tendency to dehydration.

Western culture often goes on a tangent about what foods are deemed healthy but fails to recognize the importance of seasonal eating. We don’t need the above mentioned foods in summer, because our digestive “fire” is already running hot. We do however need to cool this “pitta” or we will literally burn up and cook ourselves from the inside out. Generally we should avoid the following in excess: sour (pick-

les), salty (chips), and pungent foods (hot onions & garlics) and increase sweet (fruit), astringent (grapes) and bitter (greens).

There are things that we can do to reduce the heat and be more harmoniously connected to this beautiful season. Exercise in the morning before it gets too hot; try water exercises to stay cool or just be near bodies of water when you are active; consume more sweet berries and other seasonal fruits and vegetables; use oils such as coconut, sunflower, olive, and avocado; avoid iced drinks as this is like throwing water on a campfire and will make “steam” in your digestive fire. Reduce hot foods and spices with high acidity.

Eating too many dry, cold and light foods will pull more moisture needed for digestion, as well as oils needed to lubricate the gastrointestinal system. Consider warming foods up and adding these seasonal oils. Some swaps would be butter lettuce as opposed to iceberg, roasted veggies as opposed to raw, poached fish rather than grilled BBQ red meats.

In addition to diet, we may continue with the same exercise regime that we did in winter or fall and this too causes an accumulation of heat in the tissue. This leads to inflammation. Notice

the word “inflammation” has the word “flame” in it? And being burned out, “is when we push ourselves too much, especially mid day when the sun is high. We also refer to people as being “hotheaded.” See the play on words?

Here’s a recipe for a hydrating and refreshing elixir for your internal skin. Juice 1 lime, add a handful of crushed peppermint leaves, 2-3 tablespoons of maple

syrup, 1 teaspoon sea salt and mix in 1 litre of room temperature water. This electrolyte drink will find a happy place in your “tennis court” and keep you less “hot under the collar!”

There are several roads in Peachland that are named for two or more unrelated families. Wilson Road is one of these.

One family is that of John Hathaway Wilson. Jack Wilson came to Peachland in 1910, at the age of 17. He served in World War I, returning with his health compromised and his eyesight permanently damaged by mustard gas.

Until a year before his death in 1979, he would still go out fishing on the lake in his rowboat. He is the “Blind Angler” after whom the Beach Avenue restaurant is named. Raymond, his eldest son, joined the RCAF in

World War II and was tragically killed when his plane was shot down in 1944.

The second family is the Allan Wilson family who came to Peachland in 1919 and became orchardists. Three of their adult children subsequently joined them in Peachland, one of whom was Frank, who, together with his wife Dana, arrived in 1936. It is their son Don who has played an extraordinarily prominent role in Peachland’s affairs for decades, serving 18 years as a Councillor, 24 years as Fire Chief, and is currently the Museum’s longest-serving Curator.
