Dump truck vs cable lines CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“Our first crews arriving there did confirm the road was completely blocked with the dump truck on its side blocking Trepanier Road with the operator still inside the truck,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told the View. “He wasn’t pinned inside the truck, he just needed assistance getting out of the truck. When you picture a dump truck, how tall it is, when you’re going from the passenger door all the way up to the driver’s door it’s a long climb.” Peachland Fire and Rescue members popped the back window out of the truck and assisted the operator out of the truck through the back window. The operator was assessed by BC Ambulance and subsequently transported to hospital. Craig said there was evidence that
some telephone and cable lines that may have contributed to the accident. “There were some low lying lines that we observed when we arrived on scene,” Craig said. No power lines were impacted. The View was unable to confirm if phone or cable service was down as a result of the impact between the dump truck and the phone and cable lines. Telus attended the event to restore lines to their proper height. The road was blocked for several hours, causing the afternoon school bus to detour around it. Peachland Fire and Rescue Service remained on the scene for a couple hours until [Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure highways maintenance contractor] AIM Roads came and took over traffic control.

Respite to unpaid care workers: wellness centre announces it will offer Adult Day Service This week the Peachland Wellness Centre announced the start of an Adult Day Service in Peachland. “After several months of negotiations and support from Interior Health the contract to deliver this much needed service has been completed,” Wellness Centre executive director Christina MacMaster said. Interior Health will fund the new service, which will be delivered from the Oltmanns room at the Residences on 6th. The Peachland Wellness Centre will provide Adult Day Services to complex care clients as defined in Ministry of Health Services provincial policy. MacMaster says Adult Day Services are designed to meet the needs of clients who require supportive health care due to chronic health, functional difficulties or social issues. “One goal of providing these services in the community is to assist clients to remain independent in their homes as long as it is safe to do so, to provide respite to unpaid caregivers, to provide social and recreational activities in a safe setting, and to improve the quality of life and reduce isolation for clients,” MacMaster said. The Peachland Wellness Centre believes Adult Day Services will be a valuable addition to the range of programs and services that they provide to support the wellbeing and independence of older adults in Peachland, and fits with the vision, mission and values of their organization. Currently, there are currently no Adult Day Services in Peachland, meaning that older adults must travel to other communities. MacMaster says this can be a significant barrier to those older adults who are not physically capable of driving, have no drivers licence, no means of transportation, no one to drive them to services, or who are no longer comfortable driving in unfamiliar road conditions or during the winter when roads are snowy and icy. If they are unable to travel, older adults go without these services, and their unpaid caregivers have limited options for respite. By providing Adult Day Services in Peachland, the wellness centre and Interior Health will be making these services more accessible to older adults who don’t have the ability or the desire to leave their community for services, thus filling a need in the Peachland community both for clients and their unpaid caregivers, MacMaster says. The Peachland Wellness Centre will provide Adult Day Services one day a week on Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. for a maximum of 10 clients per program day. The service will begin in March and will include a total of 52 annual program days per year. Clients will be screened for eligibility by the Interior Health Authority, which will then refer those clients who are eligible and assessed as requiring Adult Day Services to the wellness centre. For more information about how to receive an assessment and acceptance into the service contact Interior Health Central Intake at 250-980-1400.

JOANNE LAYH It wasn’t an agenda item, but at last Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, Coun. Terry Condon asked staff about the prognosis for any flooding this year, and specifically requested an update on the current state of the snowpack, the depth and the lake level. Director of operations Shawn Grundy said that specifically here in Peachland the snowpack is significantly lower than what the average basin is. “Up above Brenda Mines we’re at one to two per cent - we’re right on average, or very close.” Grundy said. “When it comes to Peachland Lake level, we’re a little bit lower than what we typically are just because we had a significantly lower year in snow last year. We’ve been trying to work with that operationally just by reducing how much we’re releasing from the lake so we’re not expecting any issues with that.” Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe recently attended an operations meeting with regional partners where they discussed the issue. “They are predicting that our snowpack region-wide is about 130 per cent. Most of that is in our northern region, which still fills into Okanagan Lake. It is a bit too early to
determine whether or not there is a risk of flooding,” Wiebe said. “Certainly with looking at snow alone, indications are we have some concerns. However, how fast that snow comes down and how much rain we get in the spring will be indicative as to whether or not we will have flooding. We are watching it as a regional team and we’ll be meeting again mid-April to look at snowpack in mid-April and how that snow has come down in the next six weeks.” “Is the plan to accelerate the drainage of the lake? And what input do
we have in that decision?” Condon asked. Wiebe said that is a complicated question. “The desire is to draw down the lake and the officials are working on that.” Wiebe said the challenge for them is balancing the needs of fish spawning grounds with lake levels. “There has been regular consultation with First Nations and the Ministry of Environment to determine those outflows. But it’s something they’re [the province] monitoring and trying to ensure balance of all of those competing interests.”

Travelling abroad during a health outbreak JOANNE LAYH There’s no place like home. That’s how I feel after having been away on vacation for nearly a month. Since I’ve been back, a lot of people asked me about my decision to travel during the coronavirus outbreak, which was just beginning to cause global concern as I was leaving. When I booked my trip back in August no one had heard of the coronavirus. So at the time, I didn’t have too many worries about the last leg of the journey, which was supposed to include a layover in Beijing that would have given me enough time to visit the Great Wall of China or the Forbidden City. But just a few days before my plane took off, both of those attractions were shut as the country ramped up its efforts to contain the disease. Before I left I made one last call to Aeroplan, who said that my flight was a few days too late in February to qualify for a change. I didn’t stress too much about it and went about my vacation as planned. Days later airlines began cancelling flights to China, but not my airline. I was scheduled to fly from Singapore to Beijing and onto Vancouver with Air China, who, not surprisingly, were still flying to China. Since there is typically a two-hour long wait to reach anyone at the Aeroplan call centre that, amazingly, doesn’t have a toll-free number, I reached out to them on social media to find out if there were any changes to their handling of reward redemption flights to China. They had no information to offer and I was directed to phone the call centre. The next day the Government of Canada issued an advisory to avoid all non-essential travel to China and soon after I received an email from Aeroplan with a new flight
itinerary. I would now be flying from Singapore to Tokyo on ANA and onward to Vancouver via Air Canada, which was good news for me. Stuff can happen when you’re travelling and in my experience the best thing to do is take whatever precautions or actions you can to be safe and then relax and let things work themselves out. And when I do travel to places that are experiencing problems, I do the obvious and try to stay away from trouble. India recently introduced a controversial new citizenship law that has led to protests in the capital. While I was in New Delhi there was a heavy police presence to try to contain the clash, which, since I left, has unfortunately developed into escalating violence that has left at least 10 people dead. I stayed off the street when the protests were supposed to be happening and everything was fine. But these issues do raise the question of whether a person should travel when there are so many risks out there. My answer has always been and is still yes. A few years ago I went to Indonesia, despite a low risk of terror activity on Canada’s travel advisory website. After I booked my ticket, the news was full of reports of a volcano threatening to blow. I stayed away from the side of Bali with the rumbling volcano, and while it didn’t go off when I was there, I felt better safe than sorry. While I was in Indonesia, back in Canada the 2017 Edmonton Attack happened not far from my apartment, which reminded me that anything can happen anywhere. As long as you are informed, take whatever precautions you can, and adhere to travel advisories, travelling abroad doesn’t have to be much riskier than staying at home.

Logging affects real estate values Poor forest management will see BC property values fall and insurance costs rise. Why? Flooding from clear cuts predicts more Grand Forks style flooding. Citizens that lost their retirement, livelihood and community infrastructure must wonder how the premier considers this sustainable. Heavy snow packs, direct sunlight on clear cuts speeds melting, rushing runoff into town. It may be your town next. Watersheds only account for 1.5 per cent of BC landmass but are logged at a frenzied pace. Vancouver, Victoria, NYC, Seattle and Portland forbid logging in watersheds. Currently over 26 BC communities are fighting to protect theirs. Logging these water purifying ecosystems results in dirty water flowing to your community water system, wildlife driven into town to eat your plants and pets and costly system maintenance expenses. When forestry logs the watershed, water of poor and inconsistent quality flows to the water treatment plant, the plant cannot adequately treat water so boil water advisories result. Dirty water causes higher deterioration on water infrastructure. Soon new treatment plants and infrastructure are required. Forestry doesn’t pay for this, taxpayers do. Example: $24 million for a new water treatment plant equals $4,500 per Peachland citizen. Government subsidized spraying to kill deciduous trees. Done to improve coniferous tree harvests while negatively affecting habitats, biodiversity and community fire-resistance. Deciduous trees slow and stop wildfires. Deciduous spraying is a government handout costing taxpayers’ money…and perhaps lives. “Beauty strips” support the Beautiful BC illusion. Beauty strips are unlogged forest left around communities and roadways to make the public and tourists think that they are living in an intact, well managed forest. Climb up your local ridge or go to Big White to observe vistas of clear cut. Tourists are starting to catch wind complaining that the countryside looks like a patchwork quilt. Why does all this continue? Government is captured by industry and politicians
are too soft to mount a fight. I’m not picking on the NDP. This has been going on for a long time. They are as guilty as the Liberals. Forestry is governed by professional reliance; in other words, the companies govern themselves. Peachland town council has requested a logging moratorium from the provincial government. Minister of Forests Donaldson had a political lackey respond that logging would continue despite the moratorium request. Donaldson’s kneeling to industry will drive BC property values down while insurance costs rise. Get your wallet ready. Michael Huber, Peachland

COMMENTARY | NEWS
From the Mayor’s Desk: Community builders of the future Hello fellow Peachlanders, It’s great to be feeling some warmer weather as we close in on March. With the warming weather also comes the melting of snowpack at higher elevations, known as “spring runoff”. This annual occurrence can last a couple months and be frustrating to many residents because of the changes in the appearance of our water to a yellowish colour. Boil water notices and alerts can also occur, based on the turbidity in the water, as the spring run-off stirs up, and carries with it, sediment as it makes it ways downhill. The good news is the construction of our new Peachland water treatment plant is already well underway, and the new plant should see the end to most of the discoloured water, due to the advanced treatment process. It is a big project that is expected to be operational in early 2021. It has been a long journey for staff and councils over the years to get the design and financing for the new treatment
MAYOR CINDY FORTIN plant, and now, with it so close to completion, I ask residents to please be patient with the effects of the runoff this year, as we wait for our new treatment plant to become operational. On another note, I’d like to address a few things that were stated in the Peachland View editorial section on February 14, “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” As you may know, Eric Hall and I served at the same time on council, from 2011 to 2014, and I consider Eric a friend. Even though we
disagreed on some issues, for the most part, we were often like-minded. The building of a splash park using some of the Community Works Fund (CWF) is one of those things we’ll have to disagree on. The CWF (aka Gas Tax money) was first starting to be distributed to local governments just over a decade ago, and back then it had a much stricter list of projects that the money could be used for, and we received a lot less money. In 2013 the district did not actually build a sidewalk, as was stated in the editorial, as raised concrete sidewalks are incredibly expensive, and would have meant completing a very short chunk of sidewalk. But council was worried about the safety of that stretch of roadside, so instead, with just over $300,000 to work with, the Princeton Pedestrian Pathway project allowed us to create a safer roadside from just below Turner Avenue to Somerset Avenue on the lakeside of the road. Several sections of that roadway were widened, so that
there was room for those with mobility challenges to use it, as well as those on foot. Roadside barriers and guard rails were also put in place at various locations, as well as traffic signs. Today it is even more expensive to build sidewalks, which is why we rely on developers to contribute to new infrastructure. The Community Works Fund is a now a healthier chunk of money, but would not pay for much sidewalk in our community. The list of what the CWF can be used for has also grown to include “recreation infrastructure”, and last year, being a federal election year, the contribution was doubled. I understand that Mr. Hall is not in favour of a kiddies’ splash park, or using CWF money to pay for it, but we can’t forget young families and the importance of creating amenities for them to enjoy. They are the community builders of the future, and we need to encourage young families to choose Peachland for its beauty and livability,
which includes amenities. We have many activities that school aged children and up can participate in, including Swim Bay, the Boys and Girls Club, and the beach, in general. But not so much for the younger children. A splash park would be an investment in our community, and an investment in our young families. According to the last Citizens’ Survey, both the open and closed one, over 70 per cent of respondents were in favour of a splash park. Road work and sidewalks will never end. But each year the district typically puts aside a few hundred thousand dollars, as part of our budget, for roadwork projects. Transit also needs to be improved, and we have been working on a regular basis with BC Transit on improvements, including expanding the regular routes, and the new Real Time app that lets a rider track the arrival of buses. We are also working on the possibility of a proper bus stop/interchange in front of the mall, as well as becoming a par-
ticipating community on Route 70 -- a route the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) initiated from south of Penticton to Kelowna and back. Much to our dismay, a stop in Peachland was left off of that new route, that would allow people who don’t drive or have mobility challenges to reach medical facilities in Penticton, as well as West Kelowna and Kelowna. But we’re working to change that. We’d also love to build more bus shelters, and have made improvements in that area, as well. But having a covered bench stop at every bus stop is uncommon in communities, and would be quite a costly endeavour. There will always be projects that the community and district would like to see become a reality, and I’m happy to say that the last few councils have worked diligently to bring several of them to completion. Others are underway. Respectfully yours, Mayor Cindy Fortin
Provincial budget disappoints Peachland Chamber of Commerce Peachland Chamber of Commerce executive director Patrick Van Minsel says the BC budget may get a passing grade for being balanced and protecting BC’s AAA credit rating,
but it did little to get the business community excited. Van Minsel says that was the theme expressed by the Peachland Chamber following the recent provincial
budget, adding Budget 2020 features a surplus and additional spending to help those most in need, which is positive but unfortunately, most of the increase in spending is coming
ROSE VALLEY VETERINARY HO R0040892515 PV06
from ever-increasing taxes on business. The $1.9 billion-dollar EHT (Employer Health Tax) is just one example of numerous tax increases and changes that have challenged the business community. Van Minsel said they were hoping to see
the relief on the taxes that are holding small businesses back, like adjusting the threshold with the Employers Health Tax, or a prudent approach for big business that will help them compete globally. “Our biggest producers and commodity 5672 Beach Avenue, 250-767-9133

exporters are paying one of the highest carbon taxes in the world— this isn’t an environment that encourages investment,” Van Minsel said. The Peachland Chamber of Commerce also sees the budget as a missed opportunity to outline a broad vision of how the government plans to ensure we remain a competitive jurisdiction globally that welcomes entrepreneurs who see the value of investing in British Columbia. Van Minsel said the chamber also concluded they feel the government is walking a fine line in a good economy with not preparing for a rainy day as the debt to GDP ratio continues to rise.

The code is 65: Tax Tips for Seniors CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 1. Get your benefits If you’ll soon be turning 65, make sure you have applied to receive your Old Age Security and, if you haven’t done so already, consider applying to Canadian Pension Plan (CPP). The default age to claim CPP pension benefits is 65, but you can choose to begin receiving your pension benefits as early as age 60, at a cost of reduced monthly benefits, or you can choose to delay receiving your pension benefits until after age 70 to receive increased monthly benefits. 2. Start making plans for your RRSP funds You must wind up your RRSP by December 31 of the year you turn 71. However, a complete withdrawal at that time is usually not the best option, because your entire RRSP balance will be taxed in the one year. Instead, consider transferring your RRSP funds on a tax-deferred basis to a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), or use your RRSP funds to purchase an annuity. Either of these options will pay you a taxable income stream over time. Note: There are significant differences between a RRIF and an annuity – you should consult with a chartered professional accountant or investment advisor before making your decision. 3. Divide and conquer (your pension income) Consider splitting your pension income with your spouse to allow the higher-earning individual to share up to half of their pension income (excluding the Canada Pension Plan) with their lower-earning spouse. This will help level your income so one person isn’t taxed significantly more than the other. Consider consulting a chartered professional accountant early in the year to make sure pension splitting won’t affect your income tax brackets. 4. Retain your medical expense records In certain circumstances, you can claim a tax credit for medical expenses. For 2019, the tax credit is available only on the portion of the medical expenses that exceeds the

lesser of 3 per cent of your net income or $2,352 for federal tax purposes, and $2,221 for B.C. tax purposes. The following are considered medical expenses: • Payments to private health insurance plans (e.g. medical insurance for your cruise trip to Alaska); • Fees to optometrists, dentists, and chiropractors; • The cost of prescription glasses and contact lenses, medical lab tests, hospital services and treatments, prescription medication; and • Medical devices such as artificial limbs and dentures. The list above is not exhaustive. If you have any questions regarding what is considered a medical expense, consult a chartered professional accountant. 5. Report your foreign property, snowbirds! If you spend the winter months living in your vacation home in Maui and then rent it out during the rest of the year, you will be required to file a U.S. income tax return and report that income on your Canadian income tax return. You must also indicate whether your foreign property is worth over $100,000. The foreign property reporting requirements are complex, and failure to comply can result in significant penalties. Contact a chartered professional accountant to help you understand the complications within your income tax return. Learn more at CPABC’s RRSP and Tax Tips at rrspandtaxtips.com. Tax rules relating to these RRSP tips are complex. This is not intended as tax advice, and you should not make tax decisions based solely on the information presented in these tips. You should seek the advice of a chartered professional accountant before implementing a tax plan or taking a tax filing position.
