Peachland extends agreement with Urban Systems for two more years
the following: • That council extend the appointment of Urban Systems Ltd. as the municipal consulting services provider for a period of two years, terminating December 31, 2021; • That council extend the appointment of Water Edge Engineering Ltd. as the waterfront engineering services provider for a period of two years, terminating December 31, 2021; and • That following the
completion of these contracts expiring at the end of 2021, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) be completed for a future municipal consulting services contract and a waterfront engineering services contract. Urban Systems Ltd. was awarded the general municipal consulting services contract for a five-year term following an extensive Request for Proposal (RFP) process in 2015 that included a thorough review of the 13 proposals, according to Mitchell’s report to council. Secondary, as-needed, contracts were also awarded to MMM Group Ltd. and Opus DaytonKnight Consultants Ltd. MMM Group Ltd. and Opus DaytonKnight Consultants Ltd. have since been purchased by a larger engineering firm, with the two key District of Peachland contacts leaving their respective companies for other opportunities. The district currently has two large scale projects in which Urban Systems is the lead consultant - the water treatment plant project and Trepanier interconnect project - both due to be substantially completed in early 2021, with ongoing work through 2021. “Given the need for continuity and the staff resources required for a proposal process, it is recommended that the district enter into a twoyear extension with Urban Systems, ending on December 31, 2021,” Mitchell said in his request. The district also has a contract with Waters Edge Engineering Ltd. for all waterfront engineering
services. Mitchell said this contract has historically been matched in timeline with the municipal consulting services contract for convenience and efficiency with procurement. As well, Mitchell noted there are currently several waterfront projects relating from the 2017/2018 Okanagan Lake floods that are in progress and expected to be completed within the timeline of the extended contract, so he recommended that this contract also be extended until December 31, 2021. “Given the size and the visibility of these projects being undertaken by Urban Systems and Waters Edge, I think the approach taken by our CAO is the right approach,” Councillor Terry Condon said. “Switching horses midrace at the moment is probably a very inefficient and unwise thing to do.” Coun. Condon supported the recommendation but requested that when the RFP process comes up in 2021 there will be sufficient time to give a really good examination into the terms of reference so they have a real understanding that the community is getting proper value for money. Councillor Keith Fielding also supported the recommendation but wanted to ensure the agreement doesn’t prohibit the municipality from working with other providers if they choose to. Mitchell said the agreement isn’t exclusive, it just allows the municipality to work with Urban Systems without having to go through a full RFP requirement for each project.

Over 18,000 people sign petition for highway safety barriers JOANNE LAYH As of Wednesday morning, over 18,000 people have signed a petition that calls on the province to install safety barriers on the highway between Summerland and Peachland. The petition follows a fatal collision that took place in the afternoon of Jan. 16, leaving a section of Highway 97 closed for hours. On Jan. 16 at 1:30 p.m. Summerland RCMP responded to a collision 5 km north of Summerland, where a southbound vehicle with two occupants crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound transport truck. RCMP Cst. Solana Paré said the transport truck went down an embankment and the driver was able to extract himself with minor injuries. The passenger of the southbound vehicle was found deceased inside the vehicle and the driver was transported to the hospital with significant injuries. Cst. Paré cited road conditions and speed as possible factors in the collision. As the accident involved a fatality on a provincial highway, South Okanagan Traffic Services out of Keremeos led the investigation into the accident. Traffic Services media relations officer Cpl. Mike Halskov said the accident does not appear criminal in nature. “It appears we’re looking at possibly speed and and/or road and weather conditions as a contributing factor,” Cpl. Halskov told the View. Mick Harper responded to the accident by organizing a petition at change.org, calling for the province of BC to install safety barriers on Highway 97 between Summerland and Peachland. “People are being injured and dying on a particular section of Highway 97 between Summerland and Peachland,” the petition reads. The petition goes on to say that in parts the road is steep, has sharp corners,
and the slope of the road in the corners is low on the outside, making it dangerous especially in winter conditions and says drivers who go too fast or don’t adjust their speed for road conditions often drift into oncoming traffic causing serious harm or death. “It’s time for the Province of BC, Premier Horgan, and the Honourable Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, to install concrete barriers in between the two directions of traffic. This will hopefully prevent further accidents causing injury or death,” the petition reads. “The Province of BC and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure needs to install concrete barriers in between the two directions of traffic on Highway 97 north of Summerland and south of Peachland. It could save a life - maybe your own or the life of a loved one.” The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure issued this response: “The safety of the travelling public is our top priority, and our thoughts are with the friends and families of those involved in the incident on Highway 97 near Summerland on Jan. 16. The cause of the crash is under investigation by the RCMP. The ministry takes any incident on our highway seriously, particularly those that result in injuries or fatalities. It is our standard practice to review all serious incidents that occur on our highway corridors. In considering the feasibility for median barrier, our ministry looks at many factors such as road geometry and design, weather conditions including air and pavement temperatures, road surface condition, signage, site visibility, number of lanes, proximity to intersections, lighting, traffic speeds and volumes, and pavement condition etc. We have asked our engineering team to undertake an analysis to see if further investigation into median barrier is warranted.” A spokesperson for the ministry said once the investigation and engineering analysis are complete, the ministry will look at safety improvements, if the location in question meets the necessary requirements.
Police search for owner of frozen sailboat on the lake PEACHLAND VIEW Missing a sailboat, anyone? The RCMP are looking for the rightful owner of a sailboat that was located against a lakeshore retaining wall in the 800 block of Manhattan Drive in Kelowna. Investigators have been unable to locate any related lost or stolen property reports related to the icy white sailboat, Cst. Solana Paré said. To claim the vessel, the owner will have to provide proof of ownership and details surrounding the boat’s disappearance. The owner should also be able to provide the serial number associated to the boat, Cst. Paré said. If you are the rightful owner of this boat, the RCMP are asking you to contact the Kelowna detachment at 250-762-3300 and provide file number 2020-2229.

JOANNE LAYH After weeks of cold weather and snow, like many Canadians, I’m ready to get out of here and enjoy a bit of vacation time. At this time of year, most people head south for warmer weather, and while I’m not embarking on a beach vacation, at least my destinations will be, to varying degrees, warmer than here. With the Peachland View’s biggest project of the year, the Peachland Business and Telephone Directory, now sent to bed and in the process of being ready for delivery to every house and business by the end of the month, it’s time to take it easy for a little bit. While I’m away, Osoyoos Times editor Dale Boyd will be editing contributed copy and monitoring my email, while former View reporter Eric Hall will be covering the news in Peachland. Between the two of them, I’m sure everything will be well looked after while I’m away. As for me, I’m looking forward to burning 150,000 Aeroplan points in my first mini around the world trip. My holiday begins with layovers in Toronto and Paris before my first stop, Zagreb, Croatia. I’ve never been to that region of Europe before so I’m looking forward to seeing it for the first time. I have a couple days scheduled in Bosnia and Herzegovina to check out the sights in Sarajevo before heading back to Croatia for some time in King’s Landing. Erm, I mean Dubrovnik. While the beaches will be far too cold for sunbathing, I’m looking forward to visiting this popular area in the off season when I’m more likely to bump into locals than tourists. I then get a 20-hour layover in Istanbul before heading to Budapest for a few days. It’s winter in Hungary but hopefully the thermal baths will make up for that. After a brief layover in Warsaw, I’ll have a chance to try Polish Airlines’ Dreamliner to Delhi. I’ve never been to India before so I’m playing safe by sticking to the Golden Triangle region, which seems pretty accessible to first-time visitors. On the way home, I have almost 24 hours in Singapore, which should be enough time to check out the hawker centres and stroll around the city while soaking up 30 degree weather for every moment I can. From there I have a nine-hour layover in Beijing, which is hopefully enough time to catch a day tour to the Great Wall of China, but not enough to pick up the coronavirus. See you all in a few weeks. If I’m looking a little exhausted, you’ll know why.

Support the View by buying local
Hats off to outside workers for clearing snow
Like many people, I look forward to reading the Peachland View on a Friday. In fact when I am downtown on Thursday afternoon, I often look for an early copy in one of the newspaper boxes around town. We are lucky to have a local paper; many newspapers are struggling these days. I also subscribe to the Daily Courier which I enjoy reading. That paper is printed five days a week now (Tuesday to Saturday). They have cut back from seven editions a week to avoid working on weekends and reduce costs. The number of classified adverts in the Courier is much reduced, as most of that advertising has moved to Castanet. Castanet is very well organized particularly the free classified advertising, which I have used as both as a buyer and a seller. And Facebook offers more options that are local to Peachland. So running a newspaper is so much more of a challenge these days but, in my mind, it remains an important source of local information. But we must not take our local paper for granted. It depends on advertising to pay its staff. When you are looking for an insurance agent, a real estate agent, a lawyer or just finding a place to eat, remember to reward the advertisers in the View. Without the support of local businesses, we wouldn’t have a local newspaper. So thanks to all the businesses who advertise in the View. They are the ones that enable the newspaper to continue. Eric Hall, Peachland
Birds of Peachland
A big thanks to the outside workers for clearing all the snow off Harold’s Walkway during the last cold snap. We walked it every morning at 7 a.m. while it was still dark and so appreciated the safety aspect of the snow removal. As seniors, the fear of falling on black ice is always present. At a time when there are so many complaints about snow removal from other communities, it is wonderful to be able to say how lucky we are for our efficient outside workers. Phyllis Papineau, Peachland
Systemic legislative gaps in the protection of our drinking water
I recently read the provincial Forest Practices Board (FPB) complaint investigation regarding “Forestry Activities in the Peachland and Trepanier Creek Community Watersheds”. This is the same investigation that led to headlines suggesting that logging was not to blame for the boil water advisories in Peachland. While there are many elements that one could take issue with in this report, the one that really stood out for me was a statement that Gorman Bros. had contracted a geotechnical engineer in 2016 who warned them that there was instability in a slope below the Munroe Forest Services Road, and that a landslide was likely imminent into Peachland Creek – our source of drinking water. The geotechnical report also recommended that Peachland Creek be rechanneled to be outside of the potential slide zone in order to mitigate the risk to Peachland’s drinking water. Gorman Bros. was sufficiently concerned that they re-routed part of the road. However, the FPB report goes on to say that it was not Gorman Bros. responsibility to re-channel the creek, and – perhaps most egregiously – then states that the responsibility to address the risk for the landslide is unclear. The predicted imminent slide did occur in 2017, and Peachland was under a boil water advisory for five months as a direct result. Peachland Creek was only then rechanneled under emergency provisions. This is my take on it. The Ministry of Forests knew that that there was a risk to Peachland’s drinking water and did nothing. They did not arrange to re-channel the creek. The did not advise their colleagues in the Ministries of Health or the Environment. The FPB said they advised the District of Peachland (DOP) (although the same report states the DOP was unaware of the recommendation to re-channel the creek), but as the area was outside of the DOP it was not their responsibility either. Gorman Bros. knew but did only what they were legally obligated to do – fix their road so they could not be found at fault when the creek was inundated by the slide. All these agencies that are supposed to protect our drinking water did nothing. I am beginning to understand why our Provincial Auditor General last year reported that there were systemic legislative gaps in the protection of our drinking water. This is a blatant example. Shame on all of them for standing back and washing their hands. Hopefully, in the future, we will see a more collaborative effort and at least a sense of ethical and moral obligation to do something the next time there is a known risk to our drinking water.

MARION HALL In winter birds need water every day, even when all the open water is frozen. Although they can get water from snow or food, such as insects and wild fruits, it takes longer. With the cold weather we have had recently, it is difficult for the birds to find water. This photo shows robins enjoying the water on our deck; we have a flock of about 30 robins come for the water. It is interesting that this is the second year in a row we have had robins in the winter. In previous years they migrated and only come back in March. Last year I had a phone call from a fellow Peachlander after she had noticed robins in their fruit trees, which was unusual at that time of the year. When ponds and streams are frozen. birds will seek out available water. And that’s an opportunity for backyard bird watchers. The best way to provide water is to have a birdbath that has heating elements built into the bowl. The water in the bird bath is not kept hot, it just does not freeze. I have found that this kind of heating system is the easiest to keep clean, full, and unfrozen. In extremely cold weather, some ice may form around the edges, but there is always some open water at least in the middle. Our heated bird bath on the upper deck is very popular with local birds. Some birds prefer a low birdbath in the garden, but these should only be used if there are no cats roaming in the neighbourhood.

FADED GLORY BY Alexandra Morrison JANET HORNSETH
PEACHLAND ART GALLERY Close to 200 visitors braved the cold to attend the fifth annual Captured Images exhibition on Jan. 18. Twenty-two of the 28 exhibiting photographers were on hand. Showcasing 68 images, it is one of the largest and longest running fine art photography exhibitions in the valley. As it is growing in popularity, it is attracting new photographers each year. Five of the photographers are Peachland residents – Martin Marchyshyn, Christopher Byrd, Berkeley Stuart, Michael Healey and a new Peachland resident, Alexandra Morrison. Morrison is an award-winning photographic artist specializing in freestyle fine art photography. Morrison was selected the Canadian Photographer of the Year in 2009 by the Professional Photographers of Canada and was three times selected as the Manitoba Photographer of the Year in 2011, 2012 and 2015. Morrison earned the designation Craftsman of Photographic Arts in 2018. Morrison was a finalist in the top 10, for best Landscape Image in the 2013 World Photographic Cup, and her work was selected to be showcased at the Pingyao International Exhibition in China in 2015. For nine years, until her relocation to Peachland in 2019, Morrison was the

THREE CEDARS BY Jay Page founder and mentor of T.H.E. Through her Eyes, a unique women’s photography collective that explores the boundaries of art, expression, gender and society. Morrison teaches photography classes and workshops for adults as well as working for the Winnipeg School Division as a “resident artist” teaching photography in the inner city elementary schools’ Engaging Fusion program. Morrison’s other great passions are rescued rottweilers, adventures in the great outdoors, live music and environmental conservation. Morrison and her husband relocated to Peachland in 2019, after “retiring” from their careers in Winnipeg to follow their dreams. Her two images, “Crying Wolf” and “Faded Dreams” are well worth a visit to the gallery. We are thrilled to host a second book launching for the very talented Geneva Ensign. “Alaska, How I Miss You: Tales from Bush Plane to Wheelchair”. From his wheelchair, 83-year-old Roger Ensign remembers the good old days in Alaska – the days before a near fatal accident that has kept him in a wheelchair for almost 15 years. This life-changing event happened to a man who has spent years flying, and sometimes, crashing, bush planes over the magnificent and haunting beauty of the Alaskan wilderness with the emphasis on wild. Join us for this exciting event Jan. 25 in the gallery from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. with a reading scheduled for 2 p.m. Our first concert of the year, “An Evening with Lynda Brown” will take place on Jan. 31 in the gallery starting at 7 p.m. Brown will entertain us on a dulcimer with sounds ranging from “Greensleeves” to “This Land is your Land”. This will be a wine and cheese event and while there is no charge, you must have a ticket to attend as the numbers are limited. Call the gallery at 250-767-7422 to reserve your ticket. Save the Date for Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Peachland Community Centre for the Peachland Community Arts Council AGM. All are welcome and we encourage you to come out and support the arts. Coffee/tea and sweets will be served.
The Peachland Rotary Club begins the new year with the introduction of a speaker series featuring speakers each with a different view of the world. Admission is free. Peachland’s fire chief Dennis Craig will be our first speaker. His topic will be, “Wildfire Preparedness and the Evolution of Wildfire in Recent Times.” Interface fires, the firestorms in California, Australia, and the changing picture of fire prevention are issues that will affect us all more and more each year. Canadian firefighters are out in Australia battling fires alongside firefighters from all over the world. Did you know that Peachland’s fire department is mostly manned by highly dedicated and well trained volunteers, our neighbours? Our first talk will take place in the Banquet Room at the Peachland Community Centre, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. and ending at 9 p.m. on Feb. 20. There will be time for questions to the fire chief at the end of his presentation. Admission is free, although donations are welcome to help cover the costs of the program. Watch peachlandrotary.com and the View for the announcement of upcoming speakers. Seating may be limited, so come early for an informative and thought-provoking presentation. In previous years I have mentioned that being a volunteer is a gift well worth giving and well within our capacity to give. Thank God for all who give service so unstintingly. One thought we have had as we designed the program is that it would be great to hear from you about what sort of topics you would like to hear about as we proceed. We will have a suggestion box at this first session for speakers you know of (their name, email and phone number would be really helpful along with the topic they might like to address, or their field of expertise). We can’t guarantee to get them all but we will certainly use the information to see if we can match dates and a venue where possible. ShelterBox is a program near and dear to my heart, and the Club’s. So far, this little club in Peachland has donated, with your help at the summer Peace Concerts in Heritage Park, over 50 ShelterBoxes or the equivalent. That is making a difference in the world where disaster is the norm and people have no homes or shelter. Once again this last year (2018-2019) your donations have been recognized by a bronze award, joining the silver and gold of previous years. Your generosity is appreciated. This year, Rotary International formed a service partnership with Habitat for Humanity. You are all aware of the ReStore store in Westbank, and a lot of you will remember the construction of the Habitat for Humanity townhouses at the top of Princeton. ReStore is committed to the belief that every person deserves a decent place to live. Habitat for Humanity International began in 1976 as a grassroots effort in Georgia, USA. Families and individuals in need of a helping hand partner with Habitat to build or improve a place they can call home. Since 1976, Habitat and its 1.8 million yearly volunteers have served more than 9.8 million people in 70 countries around the world. On Feb. 15 ReStore/Habitat for Humanity will hold an
open house. Visit hfhokanagan.ca for details. A reminder for parents and Grade 10, 11 or 12, students at Mount Boucherie who will be 16 years old by May 1 this year, have the opportunity to participate in our Adventures in Citizenship program It is a fantastic opportunity for local students to meet students from all over the world and gain an in depth knowledge of government (citizenship) information on this program that will be available at Mount Boucherie later this month. Students apply in January, are interviewed in February, after which point one student will be chosen to represent the Rotary Club of Peachland in the program. Students are billeted by Rotarians in Ottawa. The flight and registration costs are paid for by the Rotary Club of Peachland. Upon return, students will be asked to make a presentation at our Thursday lunch, which takes place at the Gasthaus. Incidentally, we are still looking for host parents for our student from Spain. There is no financial reward, but what a tremendous experience to have an intelligent student from Europe in your household for a few months. For more information email info@peachlandrotary.com. If you’d like to find out more about the local club, visit peachlandrotary.com or, better yet, join us at the Gasthaus at 11:45 a.m. on Thursdays.

He is a bit shy because of his rough life but Pumpkin really wants love and affection. It only takes him a few minutes to warm up and once he does, he has the loudest purr and drools like crazy Sponsored by: while giving love bites.

It is with great sadness we announce that Olive Kathleen Fielding passed away on Thursday, 16th January, 2020. She is survived by her husband Keith and their three children, Claire, Lara, and Vincent; sisters-in-law Freda Holmwood and Valerie Campbell; brother-in-law Robert Campbell; and, many nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren. Olive was a gentle, caring and talented person, renowned for her empathy and concern for the well being of others. She was much loved as a mother, wife, colleague and friend, and her passing leaves us with a deep sense of loss. Olive was a Registered Nurse specializing in emergency and psychiatric nursing. She lived and worked in England, where she was born, educated and married; in Bermuda, where she lived for six years; and in Canada, where for many years she was a nurse at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital in Ontario. Many were the times when walking with Olive in downtown Oakville that a former patient would run over to deliver an enthusiastic greeting and thank you! In retirement, Olive enjoyed travels around North America and Mexico. After discovering and settling in Peachland, she became an active volunteer and part-time employee with the Peachland Wellness Centre. There she helped to plan and manage the Seniors Outreach & Aging in Place program, and facilitated the bereavement group. She also worked closely with UBCO professor Dr. Mary Ann Murphy researching the need for seniors housing in Peachland and advocating for Provincial government support. In 2009, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) recognized Olive as one of their “Top 25 Canadians”. Friends will be welcomed to attend a Celebration of Life that will take place at a later date. Condolences can be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com. In lieu of flowers, donations to any Alzheimer’s research foundation would be appreciated.

COMMUNITY
Volunteer opportunities abound at the Peachland Wellness Centre BEV ANDREWS
PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE Volunteering is defined as “working with others to make a meaningful contribution to a better community”. Stats Canada defines volunteering as “people who have provided a service without monetary compensation, for a group or organization at least once during a 12-month period”. I Like the first definition! The value of volunteering is much deeper, much more fulfilling, and much more important in contributing to a healthy and vibrant community than money can measure. Volunteers “volunteer” because it makes them feel good. Volunteering is rich and diverse. It is thousands of volunteers helping in minor sports, shelters for homeless, aid to seniors, holding hands in a hospice, cleaning up a stream bed, helping neighbors shovel snow, or helping an elderly person across the street. Large and small acts of kindness are what binds a community together. Contributions to sports, arts, cultural, and environmental causes are the key to a healthy and caring community. Volunteering helps in providing essential programs and services that help increase the value of the community and bind the community together. There are many positive impacts from volunteering. For example, music programs offer a social outlet, transportation service provides comfort and ease in getting to a medical appointment and a bereavement program brings solace and support to those experiencing grief. These are just a few programs that the wellness centre provides to the community of
Black Version
C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100
Peachland. These programs are of great value to our residents. Volunteering reflects our values, what we care about, our vision for our community, our notion of justice and our sense of responsibility for the planet and all those who share it. Many volunteers attribute their success in education and careers to the experience and connections they made while volunteering. Millions of Canadians benefit from services provided by volunteers - these help the communities thrive. Volunteering does not have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in simple ways can help those in need and improve health and happiness. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Volunteering is a valuable way for you and your family and children to know the organizations in your community and find resources and activities for your family members. Volunteering provides a sense of purpose. Those who are retired can find new meaning and direction in their lives by helping others. The most valuable assets you can bring to any volunteer effort is compassion, an open mind, a willingness to pitch in where needed and a positive attitude. The value of volunteering builds community, ends loneliness, increases socializing, builds bonds, creates friends, develops emotional stability, improves self-esteem, helps others and adds fun to your years. Community engagement is community ownership. Volunteer involvement shows that the community is invested in the organization and its goals. All our volunteers at the Peachland Wellness Centre are the key to our success and every day we are blessed to have so many wonderful and dedicated volunteers.
