FRIENDS FOREVER?
By Jeff McDonalD Staff RepoRteR
It was 1962 and the Cuban missile crisis had the world on edge.
U.S. intelligence had determined that the Soviet Union had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba capable of hitting targets in most of North America. The Royal Canadian Navy played a major role in anti-submarine warfare during the crisis.
And a young Jacqueline Prewitt (now Kennedy) watched it happen from a vantage point few people knew about and she wasn’t allowed to speak about.
The Peachland resident, now 82, was a member of a team of Canadian women, working with the U.S. Navy, whose job it was to track Soviet submarines as they moved beneath the Atlantic Ocean waves.
Jacqueline was one of the WRENs, or Women’s Royal Cana-
dian Naval Service, members of the Royal Canadian Navy active during WWII and afterward. Born in England, Jacqueline’s family emigrated to Canada when she was 14. She was recruited into the Navy out of high school in North Vancouver in 1959. But she couldn’t talk to her parents about her new job.

Water board appoints chief operating officer
The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) has named James Littley as its chief operating officer, the board said in a release last week.
Littley has been with OBWB for 13 years, most recently as deputy administrator. He has played a key role in expanding invasive species prevention efforts, securing funding enhancements for OBWB’s grant programs, and overseeing major capital equipment renewals to strengthen operational capacity. He also led the development of the first Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment Guide for invasive mussel risks, the release said.
In the new role, Littley will oversee OBWB’s core programs,

Council grappling with secondary dwelling policy
By Jeff McDonalD Staff RepoRteR
District of Peachland council met in a workshop last Tuesday in an effort to move its secondary dwelling policy forward.
The existing policy focuses on licensing requirements and process and references applicable zoning regulations, but doesn’t address flex units to be included in new multi-family developments.
Planning and bylaw staff presented council with information on how other municipalities handle secondary suites and related issues such as grandfathering, building codes, waste collection, and decommissioning illegal suites.
Only 84 Peachland homes have a licensed secondary suite but hundreds of homes have unlicensed suites. There is pressure to craft clearer policy around secondary suites, garden suites and flex units, even though district staff said at the meeting that the suite registration program has been successful.
Councillors pressed staff on what happens when a non-conforming suite is discovered and how aggressively they pursue instances where such suites are not up to code. In most cases, staff said, it’s a process of education rather than enforcement.
Councillor Terry Condon later said the meeting helped council better understand where the district is at in the process. He also said the difficulties for Peachland residents are mostly related to how the secondary dwelling policy is applied.
“The pain points are around inconsistent application of the policy. Any suite should conform to the building code applicable at the time it was built,” he said. “Right now a suite that is not up to code would have to go through significant and very expensive renovation.
Condon said the key takeaway for Peachlanders is that council is trying to simplify the process for identifying and maintaining secondary suites or garden suites. “That is the takeaway,” he said. “We’ll see what staff brings back and see whether or not it fits council’s meets
After that, said Condon, staff need to find the best way to communicate policy changes to Peachland residents. “It’s gathering all of the long and short term rentals and garden suites and different types of housing, gathering them all into a cohesive and single document that, with easy reading, describes which area your suite needs to conform to so that we can achieve what we want to achieve, a means to achieve it and to cut down on the bureaucracy behind it,” he said.
what it is we’re trying to do.”
Condon noted that provincial legislation requires Peachland to do an update to the Official Community Plan by the end of 2025, but district staff don’t have the resources to draft a new policy in time for that update.

New city hall in West Kelowna over budget
With construction of West Kelowna’s new city hall $6.17 million over budget, mayor Gord Milsom, city council and chief administrative officer Ron Bowles are directing city staff to improve project management.
A full accounting of West Kelowna’s share of the city hall and library buildng is $24.17 million compared to an estimated $18 million in 2021, a difference of $6.17 million.
“West Kelowna Council is extremely disappointed at this news, and these kinds of cost overruns must not continue,” said Milsom in a release last week.
Bowles said staff will work with council to create controls for future projects, including:
• budgeting using engineering standard protocols and adequate contingency planning and budgeting.
• confirming scope before project startup.
• using industry standard project management best practices and trained professionals.
• establishing procedures for managing projects during unprecedented conditions such as high inflation, global supply chain disruptions and more frequent climate-related emergencies.

What a difference a term makes
To the editor:
The following are remarks from President Donald Trump on the signing of the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement on Jan. 29, 2020.
“And today, we’re finally ending the NAFTA nightmare and signing into law the brand-new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. (Applause.)
“The USMCA is the largest, fairest, most balanced, and modern trade agreement ever achieved. There’s never been anything like it. This is a colossal
“The USMCA is estimated to add another 1.2 percent to our GDP and create countless new American jobs. It will make our blue-collar boom—which is beyond anybody’s expectation—even bigger, stronger, and more extraordinary, delivering massive gains for the loyal citizens of our nation.
“For the first time in American history, we have replaced a disastrous trade deal that rewarded outsourcing with a truly fair and reciprocal trade deal that will keep jobs, wealth, and growth right here in America. (Applause.) And, in a true sense, it’s also a partnership with Mexico and Canada and ourselves against the world. It’s really
operation with Prime Minister Trudeau and for our incredible friendship and the relationship that we’ve developed with President López Obrador.”

Won’t spend time, money in Peachland
To the editor: I live in Kelowna but what drew me to Peachland was the Art Gallery and through volunteering at the Art Gallery I heard about the Peachland Art Group and joined them. We were recently told that we may no longer rent the community centre’s banquet room, which we’ve rented for years, and must find other accommoda-
tions. We negotiated an extension to give us time to make plans.
My personal opinion has always been that the city council is very short-sighted in essentially dismissing the arts community as essentially unimportant to Peachland. Many others and I ‘come from away’ to be part of and support the arts community in Peachland every week throughout the year. We love the dynamism of the arts community here in Peachland. We volunteer in Peachland, we bring our friends to various activities in Peachland, and we and our friends spend money and support various businesses in Peachland.
I can’t speak for anyone else but I don’t think I would be coming to Peachland to do yoga or play pickleball.

Trepanier Creek named after life-saving procedure
Did you know that Trepanier Creek is a name given to it by a French fur brigade trader? This happened after a First Nations man that was traveling with the traders was attacked by a bear and had his skull crushed. To save his life it was necessary to perform an operation to remove the broken bones from his head. This type of brain surgery was called trepanning! It’s a surgical intervention in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the human skull. That lifesaving act took place, you guessed it, at the creek crossing, but as Deep Creek was once called Trepanier on early maps, we don’t know at which creek the procedure took place.

Better crossword needed!
To the editor:
I love the new Peachland Post! Clearly a lot of effort has gone into making this a truly town paper, so keep up the good work.
On another note, as a seasoned ‘crossworder’, I am not a fan of the crossword puzzles in the paper. They are based on very obscure words, abbreviations or references to other languages. I’m sure I’m not alone on this. So if you can find another crossword provider this little paper would be darn near perfect!

Urban geese – live and let live, I guess
Urban geese. The ones who crap all over our parks and beaches and hiss menacingly at us when we get near. Most people either love them or hate them. I’m in the latter category.
I know, I know. All creatures are beautiful and have a right to life. Indeed the geese are striking to look at, with their colouring and noble lines. But in my view, they’re also malevolent, black-hearted beings whose voluminous droppings can ruin a nice walk.
There are no easy answers to the problems urban geese create, or even consensus that they’re a problem.
I once worked in a B.C. coastal city that has a seawall. Residents were surveyed on whether or not dogs should be allowed on

it. The results were exactly 50 per cent for, and 50 per cent against.
I suspect a survey of Peachlanders about what should be done to control urban geese would produce a similar result: they would be evenly divided on the issue.
So I don’t envy the District of Peachland bylaw people. No matter what they do (or
don’t do), someone is probably going to be upset about it.
Part of my anti-goose bias comes from the experience of a blind friend of mine who relies on guide dogs to move around. These dogs cost thousands of dollars to train, and there are never enough to meet the need. One particular dog came to her from a facility in the U.S., where it had successfully completed rigorous training.
But this highly-trained pooch could not resist eating the goose droppings all around my friend’s neighbourhood and in the park near her home. Urban goose poop so disrupted the dog’s behaviour that my friend had to return her to the training facility, and was without a guide dog for many months.
If there was an easy answer
to the goose problem, someone would have found it by now. Culling? Sure, if done humanely, but there again, many people feel no culling is humane. Controlling the geese with dogs, as is happening in Peachland? Some think it’s a good way to deal with the problem, some think it’s cruel to frighten geese that way.
The Okanagan Goose Management Program’s goal is to reduce conflict between people and Canada geese. They control nests on people’s properties and offer ways to goose-proof properties. They don’t mention culling.
So I guess it’s live and let live. But I won’t be barefoot in the park!

Proposed new forest act would balance ecology and economy
Recently Interfor, a logging company, was fined for violating the Forest and Range Practices Act, way back between 2012 and 2016. A fine of $360,000 was levied, Interfor appealed, the Forest Appeals Commission upheld the decision. But on February 13, 2025 the commission reduced the fine to $280,000.
NATURAL WONDERS
JUDY WYPER
What happened? Interfor had stewardship plans for logging in the Arrow Lakes area. During removal, they cut into 82 hectares of old-growth in separate management areas. Besides destroying old growth trees, which will take hundreds of years to grow back, they harmed habitats and biodiversity. The estimated volume of timber harvested from the old-growth areas was about 38,000 cubic metres, with a market value of about $4.4 million. The estimated economic benefit after subtracting the company’s costs to undertake the logging was more than $1.8 million.
That’s a pretty good profit with a pretty small fine.
Our local Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance is a member of the Interior Watershed Task Force (IWTF). Over twenty similar groups belong to this, and they keep each other informed on matters like this. Forestry methods have differing effects on the land. Biodiversity, water sources, and ecosystems are affected. Healthy watersheds
produce good-quality water.
Situations like Interfor’s overcutting has spurred a movement in B.C. to push for a New Forest Act. Taken from the website of the Boundary Watershed Stewardship Society, and supported by IWTF groups, the purpose would be “to protect ecosystems and biodiversity, safeguard people from hazards such as floods, fires, drought, and climate change by preserving nature’s capacities for protection and mitigation. Enable nature to continue to provide the ecosystem services that humans need for survival.”
The aim is to balance ecological, cultural, and economic needs. Successful human economies are dependent on thriving natural ecosystems.
The proposed new act describes three zones of forest protection. Zone 1 is Primary Forest, a Conservation Zone with no logging or other extractive human activities.
Zone 2 is Restoration Forests, for the ecological restoration of previously logged, roaded, and degraded lands. That would describe Peachland’s watershed.
Zone 3 is Forestry, for partial-cutting timber extraction consisting of previously industrially logged and roaded lands. Logging would occur under the principles
and standards of nature protection and include leaving full-cycle trees to provide continuous forest cover. Under this system, “human uses, including logging, would be designed to prevent, as opposed to mitigate, damage to the ecological integrity of ecosystems. This does not mean an end to logging, it means changing where, how much, what is extracted, the methods used, the products, and the outcomes of forestry jobs. Traditional practices (e.g.
eco-cultural practices) would be encouraged in all zones.”
During 2024 several presentations promoting this plan were made across the province, and their videos can be accessed through Boundary Watershed’s website.

Canada’s anti-sub expertise helped end 1962 crisis
“My parents never asked me a question because they had a visitor from these high-level brass and they came to the house in North Vancouver where we lived and they spoke to them for quite a long time, and from then on, Mom and Dad never asked me a question.”
Her neighbours and friends were screened, as were the books she read, before she joined the submarine-hunting group.
With the other Canadian Navy recruits, Jacqueline trained at a U.S. Navy facility in Key West, Florida before being stationed at Shelburne, Nova Scotia, where secrecy was total.
“The security was unbelievable, top-level. We were in closed blacked out cars whenever we went anywhere, anybody we spoke to we had to report,” she said. “If anyone asked us a question, we had to report them. It was very strict and it was enforced to the nth degree.”
Her job was helping operate
the sound surveillance system known as SOSUS, an underwater surveillance technology developed by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s. It was a network of hydrophones placed on the ocean floor that could detect submarines from long distances.
The task of tracking analyzing and reporting submarine movements fell in large part to Jacqueline and the WRENs.
They worked in an underground room lined with banks of machines. Each machine had a stylus that printed images as it received impulses from the sea-floor hydrophones. Certain images indicated the presence of Soviet subs.
In October 1962, those subs were detected in the area of naval quarantine around Cuba, and both Americans and Canadian military forces prepared for war.
The crisis slowly eased as U.S. president Kennedy faced off with Soviet premier Kruschev, but Jacqueline said to defend itself, the Americans needed Canada’s expertise and resources.
“They were definitely dependent on us. Without us, they couldn’t have done what they did,” she said. “Kennedy couldn’t have completed what he did because Canada was the backbone of SOSUS.”
The close working relation-
ship the two countries once had is why she finds Donald Trump’s threatening language about Canada’s sovereignty outrageous, Jacqueline said.
“I think it’s totally disgusting and I think they’re going to end up with egg on their face. Canada is like a sleeping giant. We are fighting and we are here and they don’t realize the strength that we have,” she said. “I think that he’s really put his finger on the button and made us wake up and Canada’s waking up now to be patriotic. Let’s show them, because now is the time. We can do it, and we’ve got the power.”
Jacqueline said the situation now is both similar but different to 1962 because it’s a crisis but the U.S. doesn’t feel like an ally anymore.
She also said she isn’t afraid of American encroachment because people there aren’t on board with Trump’s threats. “The majority of Americans won’t go along with this,” she said. “I believe that most Americans, the regular Joes like we are, doesn’t know what’s going on, wouldn’t agree with it, want no part of it.”
Jacqueline went on to marry and divorce twice, have a child, and live in both the U.S. and Canada before wedding her current husband Dennis Kennedy
and taking his surname. They’ve lived in Peachland since 2008.
Looking back on those days, now over 60 years ago, she spoke of her pride that Canada earned a reputation for excellence in anti-submarine warfare and

that the WRENs were key to keeping North America safe. She loved the camaraderie and the people she worked with.
Given the current state of affairs between Canada and the U.S., Jacqueline said she wishes she was back in the Navy. “You were involved 24 hours a day. You always want to be on the front line,” she said. “It was the importance of it, actually being in it and doing it. I’d be there in a heartbeat.” ••

A great principal gave Peachland kids a great start
This week marks the retirement of Peachland Elementary School principal Wendy Briggs.
Aside from her well-respected role as an educator, Wendy Briggs has for years gone the extra mile to promote youth sports in the Peachland community.
Whether coaching basketball at the school herself, or promoting community youth sports to Peachland children and parents, Wendy has left an indelible mark.
We are a small town and getting children to participate in community sport is sometimes an uphill climb.
Recognizing this, when we started community youth soccer in Peachland two years ago, Wendy was at the forefront, sending a number of letters to parents to let them know their children could now play on Peachland teams and encouraging them to do so.
Furthermore, she has, for the past three years, invited community coaches to visit the school, three days per week, to coordinate noon-hour programs in baseball, girls’ soccer and boys’ soccer.
This is all over and above the demands of her regular day-to-day duties, responsible for the academic wellbeing of Peachland’s children.
Any organization reflects its leader and Wendy is well respected both by the school district and by the children and staff at Peachland elementary. On more than one occasion, in meetings with the school district, Wendy was identified as a great principal by regional district staff.
My impression, as someone who visits Peachland elementary regularly for weekly soccer and baseball activity, is that the children are well-mannered and happy to be there.
On many occasions Wendy would pop into the gym while the kids are playing noon soccer and baseball to make sure everything was running smoothly, that boys aren’t trying to sneak into the girls’ soccer sessions, and the kids are having fun.
Granted, as she has pointed out, there still is a soccer ball sitting on a ceiling light fixture in the gym from a kid’s errant goal kick,
but by and large the kids have passed the ball well and played in a normal fashion at lunch.
Wendy cared, went the extra mile for the children, and the kids all knew and appreciated that.
I’m quite sure Wendy has earned her retirement, and, like the rest of the Peachland community, we all wish her the best.
But her leaving will be a loss for the kids lucky enough to have gone to Peachland Elementary while she was the principal.
Because, speaking as an
outsider who visits the school regularly, those children have been given a great start in life, thanks to the extracurricular work of principal Wendy Briggs.
Randey Brophy has coached youth soccer and baseball for 32 years. He spearheaded the drive for Turner Park to be redeveloped as a multi-use field in 2022 and formed the Peachland Youth Soccer club in 2023. He also manages and plays on a Peachland seniors slo-pitch team.
