GRAHAM TODD OF Todd’s RV and Camping expects to be ready to open to recreational visitors June 1. For the 2020 season there will be COVID-19 regulations in place, no tenting allowed, and as the toilets will be closed, only self contained units will be able to visit. Peachland’s visitor centre is planning a soft opening for next week and will have new guidelines in place in accordance with WorkSafeBC to ensure the safety of their visitors and staff. Peachland Visitor Centre manager Darci Ritchey says they’re looking forward to helping people explore Peachland responsibly.

No Route 70 bus service from Peachland to Penticton this year JOANNE LAYH Last Tuesday Peachland council voted unanimously to renew the Kelowna Regional Annual Operating Agreement between the municipality and BC Transit for the current

fiscal year, but the cost to provide service in Peachland had some members of council questioning if there might be a better way to service the community. Based on the 2020-21 annual budgets identified

in the BC Transit agreement, the district’s share of costs are $76,362 for conventional service and $153,682 for paratransit service for a total cost of $230,044 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. The district’s estimated share of total regional transit revenue for 2020 is $69,932, leaving the net budgeted cost to Peachland for 2020 at $176,438 after adjustments for timing in expenses in revenue as BC Transit’s fiscal year ends March 31 and the district’s fiscal year is the calendar year. Director of finance Lyle Smith said the district’s 2020 transit budget has decreased 7.72 per cent due to decreased costs in both conventional and paratransit service and an increase in estimated transit revenue. That means the average single-family dwelling will pay approximately $59.05 for transit services in 2020.

“For $153,000 couldn’t we give out taxi vouchers?” Mayor Cindy Fortin said. Councillor Terry Condon agreed $153,000 is a great deal of money and they should take a closer look at providing a local service, perhaps through Peachland’s taxi company. Chief administrative officer Joe Mitchell also took the opportunity to provide an update on the Route 70 agreement with the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS). “B.C. Transit is not going ahead with that route [stopping in Peachland]. They’re not changing any of the routes for this year so it’ll be next year when

the Route 70 bus comes online,” Mitchell said. Last year the new transit Route 70 bus began travelling from Penticton to Kelowna, making stops in Summerland and West Kelowna (where the bus terminates, and riders transfer onto another bus into Kelowna), however, the bus does not stop in Peachland. When discussions initially got underway about this service, Peachland was at the table and expressed strong interest in participating in the service. However, when the route began service between Penticton and Kelowna, Peachland wasn’t included. On June 25, 2019 Peach-

land council passed a resolution instructing staff to continue the conversations with the RDOS with respect to transit Route 70 stopping in Peachland. Last year district staff met with RDOS staff and reviewed what some of the challenges may have been, including: • Two different unions representing transit drivers; • Travel times remaining as short as possible; • Safe pick-up/drop off locations; and • Allocating costs. Initial estimates suggest the cost to include a Peachland stop on the route would be about $8,000.

District to offer green space seating for downtown restaurants JOANNE LAYH The COVID-19 pandemic will see downtown Peachland looking a little bit different this summer as Beach Avenue shops and restaurants try to achieve a normal level of sales while complying with social distancing measures required by health officials. The result will be more spillage of business out into the street and into Heritage Park. At the last council meeting council directed staff to work with the Peachland Recovery Task Force to help local businesses in the recovery stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last Tuesday night district staff returned to council with the following recommendations based on the task force’s requests: • Council waives the patio fees identified in the Sidewalk and Right-of-Way Occupancy Policy for all types and sizes of patios for 2020; • Council direct staff to work with interested businesses to allow extended patios in the parking areas immediately adjacent to their establishments; and • The district supply seven wooden tables and 50 wooden chairs for use by local businesses to create an eating area in the Rotary Pavilion and/or Spirit Square. Chief administrative officer Joe Mitchell told council that the revenue impact of waiving the patio fees would be about $2,800 as typically four businesses pay the municipality $700 each year for patio fees. The community services department will provide the tables and chairs for use in the green spaces, and district staff will be involved in permitting, inspection, supply and delivery of the tables but bringing them in and out each day and sanitizing them after each use will fall to the Peachland chamber’s summer students. On Sundays the farmers’ market will have priority during their hours of operation so there won’t be tables and chairs set up in the green spaces at that time. As the tables are old inventory and there may be complaints about the quality, so to improve the picnic experience, Mitchell suggested restaurants could be encouraged to sell plastic tablecloths to

DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND

take out patrons. The tables wouldn’t be assigned to any specific business so even if people wanted to bring a picnic from home they could do that, Mitchell said. Councillor Patrick Van Minsel said he spoke to a restaurant owner who said one table alone represents $30,000 to $33,000 of revenue for the season, so adding a few tables outside to make up for fewer tables inside would have a huge impact. “It’s huge. It’s immense. It could help them survive this COVID-19 situation, so I am very happy that we are doing this,” Van Minsel said. “This recommendation has my full support.” Councillor Pam Cunningham said she hopes the district can be flexible in trying to help local businesses. “We’re not adding space. Because of social distancing they’re losing 50 per cent. So what we’re trying to do is just give them back the space that they’re losing,” Coun. Cunningham said. “If we didn’t give them back that space they’d be hooped because of the cost of running a restaurant it wouldn’t even be worth it for them at 50 per cent capacity….I think it’s very important and we have to do it.” “I’m very supportive of whatever we can reasonably do to help our retail businesses,” Councillor Terry Condon said. “As much as we can, I’d like to see us provide individual solutions to individual businesses. I don’t think we’ve got enough businesses that we can’t be very accommodating in terms of what help we provide.” Mayor Cindy Fortin said she loves the patio sidewalks in any year, and also supported the recommendations. Not all of the items on the Recovery Task Force wish list were supported by district staff or needed council support. The creation of a “musician corner” in Heritage Park, for instance, was seen as an activity that would encourage people to gather, something that is being discouraged by health officials at this time. Staff expressed significant concerns with this recommendation as it may result in mass gatherings contrary to the Public Health Officers (PHO) orders. Mitchell said the BC Centre for Disease Control (BC CDC) has made reference regarding measures to be taken not to allow public gatherings that bring more than 50 people together – indoors or outdoors,

NOTICE Please be advised the District of Peachland has identified an error that resulted from a software provider upgrading their product. This upgrade caused 2019 property tax email notifications to be sent to all owners who are signed up for e-notices. The body of the email includes a link meant to be for the 2020 tax notice; however, once the link and/or attachment is activated, it takes the owner to the 2019 tax notice.

The task force also suggested the municipality allow businesses to use the parking stall between 1st and 3rd Streets, limit parking across the street to a maximum of 30 minutes, improve signage to the 2nd Street parking lot and allow for enhanced commercial use at the Gateway. Mayor Cindy Fortin also addressed someone’s suggestion that the district close Beach Avenue to traffic. “First responders have to be able to get in and out with ease and one day a year or two days a year for a special event is one thing, but all summer you have to ensure that they have access,” Mayor Fortin said. Mitchell said it is possible, but there are numerous variables that pose difficulty. “The use of Waldo Way for really anything reliable isn’t the right thing to do. There are often large vehicles parked in that spot. It is a tight squeeze. You can imagine a fifth wheel trying to go down there,” Mitchell said, adding they also have to deal with deliveries every day, the bus schedule, and traffic coming off the highway.

Loans, not bailouts, for the airlines It’s painful to watch Trudeau and his Liberal handlers attempting to transfer the huge losses suffered by the shareholders in our private sector airlines onto the shoulder of the Canadian taxpayers. Shareholders in our airline companies do not qualify for financial bail-outs any more than shareholders in Irving oil, Loblaws, Telus, and Home Hardware. Since the beginning of this year the price of oil has dropped about $30 a barrel, with a corresponding drop in the price of shares in virtually all Canadian oil and gas companies. People invested in those companies, hoping to make a profit, and some of them did, and they will ‘qualify’ to pay a capital gains tax on those profits. Other investors lost money, and they will be able to apply those losses to their taxable incomes and pay less taxes. The investors who own shares in those airline companies qualify for the same tax considerations, and can apply the losses to reduce their taxable incomes. When any of those companies lose money, the losses are suffered exclusively by the shareholders. Should they qualify for loans to bridge the gap between disaster and recovery? Possibly, pending qualifiers. Should they be forgivable? Absolutely not. It’s a safe bet lawyers and accountants have been working overtime looking for ways and means of transferring those huge losses from the shoulders of shareholders to the shoulders of the taxpayers, but there is absolutely no way taxpayers should absorb any of those losses. Canadian taxpayers never have, and never will be responsible for the success and failures of investors in any private corporation for the simple reason, they did not make those risky investments, and Trudeau has no legal or moral right to mine their pockets to bail any of them out. Trudeau was elected to ‘serve and protect’ and he has an immediate responsibility to protect literally millions of under – and unemployed Canadians who desperately need that money to look after the basics for themselves and their families. Unemployment will be in the double digits for years, and it should be abundantly clear that the remaining taxpayers could not possibly be expected, legally or morally, to even attempt to bail out shareholders in any of our private sector corporations, including WestJet and Air Canada.

Birds of Peachland: The Harlequin Duck

OPINION | COMMUNITY

COVID-19 keeps Liberal Party volunteers busy with calls Dear editor, This past weekend I had the privilege to work with a group of volunteers who spent the whole weekend calling people in our federal riding to just ask how they were doing. Talking to the volunteers after our calls, we all agreed that it was a really wonderful experience to touch base with strangers during this global pandemic to ask if they were okay or if they needed any help connecting with available COVID support. Our group of 11 volunteers managed to make just shy of 600 calls during our National Days of Action on behalf of the Central Okanagan Similkameen Nicola Federal Liberal Riding Association. Our team came in first for the number of calls made in B.C. and second in all of Canada. I was so proud of our volunteers’ hard work in reaching out to the community and I was honoured to work with such an amazing group of concerned citizens. Sarah Eves, Merritt

MARION HALL The Harlequin Duck is a small, relatively uncommon sea duck; males have feathers of different colours. It gets its English name from characters in Italian comedy, who wear masks and have oddly coloured costumes. The male has bold markings of white, slate gray and chestnut brown, and is about half the size of the average mallard. The female is a very drab brown except for three white patches on her head. Harlequin Ducks have an unusual lifestyle. During most of the year, these birds are found in coastal waters. In the spring they leave the salt water to breed in mountain fed lakes and rivers. Like many other waterfowl, male Harlequin Ducks leave the breeding areas once the female begins to incubate, usually by mid-June. After leaving their mates, males migrate to specific sites to undergo their annual moult, or shedding of old feathers. Females normally join males at these sites and moult one to two months later. Unlike other ducks, Harlequin Ducks normally locate their nests beside fast-flowing streams. The nest, lined with down, may be built on the ground under clumps of shrubs or under logs, or even on bedrock ledges. In early summer, the female, or hen, lays three to eight cream eggs at intervals of two to four days. The hen incubates the eggs for 28 or 29 days until they hatch. Incubating birds may not leave the nest until closely approached. She will lead her young to water within 24 hours of hatching. The young are able to fly when they are about 40 to 50 days old.

Okanagan Regional Library branches starting curbside pick-up in June ABERDEEN PUBLISHING Library service at Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) branches is returning in phases with curbside pick-up starting in June. “We have missed the in-person service to our customers, and although we have continued to serve you virtually, we are very excited to begin our restoration of library services to include lending physical materials once again — via curbside pickup,” reads an email statement from

ORL. The organization, which hosts 31 branches including in Peachland, is working on a multi-phase reopening plan with phase one launching curbside holds and pick-up starting on June 2 across the system. During phase 1 (contactless curbside pick-up), customers will be able to place holds, pick them up and return items into book drops. Customers are to adhere to posted instructions and guidelines while using the

contactless curbside pick-up, ORL stated, and at this time library buildings will continue to be closed to the public. For more information visit www.orl. bc.ca for details on how Curbside Holds Pick-up works, and to see your location’s pick-up and book drop hours starting June 2. ORL are asking customers to assist staff during this time to manage the volume of both holds and returns that were paused when the libraries closed. ORL asks customers to only return

items during open book drop hours. All items checked out before the closure are not due back until June 15. If you have holds on your account that you no longer want, or cannot come in to pick up, the ORL asks that you cancel or suspend them. For staff assistance call us at 1-844649-8127. “We are looking forward to seeing you again — from a distance — and to once again share our library collections with our communities.”

Can Peachland be the Make Water Work champs two years in a row? JOANNE LAYH As temperatures throughout the valley begin to heat up, the Okanagan Basin Water Board is once again challenging residents to do their part to conserve water. Corinne Jackson, Okanagan Basin Water Board communications director, manages the Okanagan WaterWise program and its Make Water Work campaign, a valley-wide water conservation initiative aimed at tackling the second largest use of all water in the Okanagan, residential outdoor use, and delivered in partnership with Okanagan local governments and utilities. The OkWaterWise program and the Okanagan Xeriscape Association (OXA) have developed a list of “WaterWise plants” they are encouraging residents to choose to help make water work more effectively and will thrive naturally in the Okanagan climate, even in drought conditions. This year they’ve expanded the Make Water Work Plant Collection, growing the list from 54 to 105 perennials, grasses, trees and shrubs, including a number of native and edible plants. “With the coronavirus, more people are sticking closer to home and focussing on their yards. Now’s a great time to consider a yard makeover to be

more water efficient,” said Jackson, adding Environment Canada and others are forecasting that our summer is going to be hotter than normal. “We’re thrilled to be a part of this effort, helping residents of the Okanagan make the right plant choices for our climate,” said OXA Executive Director Sigrie Kendric. Those looking for some inspiration and an example of what’s possible for gardening in the Okanagan are invited to visit the OXA’s UnH2O Demonstration Garden at 4075 Gordon Dr. in Kelowna, where a number of the Make Water Work plants are featured. In addition to a larger plant list, the program has also expanded the number of garden centre partners in the valley who are promoting the collection. Partners include: Shepherd’s Hardware and Blue Mountain Nursery in Armstrong, Swan Lake Nurseryland and Nicholas Alexander Landscaping in Vernon, Ace Hardware in Lake Country, GardenWorks in Penticton, Sagebrush Nursery in Oliver and Sandhu Greenhouses in Osoyoos. Closer to Peachland, the program added two new garden centre partners this year: Better Earth Gardens in Kelowna and Dogwood Nursery in West Kelowna. Okanagan residents are

encouraged to visit MakeWaterWork.ca and pledge to take one or more of the listed actions to help save water and receive a $2 coupon towards the purchase of a plant from the Make Water Work Plant Collection, available at participating garden centres. As well, their pledge goes towards helping their community win the Make Water Work Community Champion title. Last year Peachland won the Make Water Work Community Champion title so can the community take the title two years in a row? Okanagan residents are encouraged to pledge to: • Water lawn between dusk and dawn; • Water plants, not pavement; • Never mow low. Let it grow; • Choose plants suitable to our dry climate; • Tune up my irrigation; and • Aerate my lawn and top dress with compost. Jackson says normally they would have been having a public launch, with the mayors pledging to conserve water outdoors this summer and encouraging their residents to do the same. But with the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the need for physical distancing, instead they’ve compiled a short video with messages from the mayors, which can be viewed at https://youtu. be/Xv4evZNbeWM.

Our mom Shirley completed her life’s journey on Monday, May 18, 2020. Our mom grew up in Vancouver, BC. This is where she raised her family, explored the arts,history, and life’s nature all while continuing her education. Mom worked within the Vancouver School District, retiring from the same school she had attended as a child. Moving to Peachland, BC was an exciting chapter in her life as she always looked forward to new adventures. Mom was spirited. Her fearlessness to take on all that life had to offer, strength, and independence is the very essence of who she was. Mom wrote letters, stories, sang, danced, loved, and laughed with her grandchildren. As they became adults she thrived on deeper conversations. Mom enjoyed her lifetime with valued family, friends, neighbours and adopted daughters, acknowledging how lucky, blessed and grateful she was for each and everyone of them. Rest now mom. Shirley is survived by 5 children; Corinne DeBruhl, Steve (Debbie), Ken (Sandy), Rob (Sharon), Kathy (Brian Michaud) 12 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.

PAT BODEN Over the next few weeks, the Bargain Bin at the Peachland United Church will be preparing to reopen. Like all businesses, we will be following federal, provincial and WorkSafeBC guidelines regarding wearing masks and gloves. We will also be using hand sanitizer and doing regular cleaning. For the safety of our volunteers and customers we will be practicing safe physical distancing and will have a plexiglass shield at our cash desk. We will be limiting the number of customers in the Bargain Bin and our hours of operation will be limited Be assured that no donations will come directly into the Bargain Bin. All donations will be dated and stored off site for a designated safe period before being sorted and placed for sale. For the first two

weeks that we are open we will be having a sale of all our winter stock in the church hall. The sale will run until Saturday, May 30 and from Wednesday, June 3 to Saturday, June 6. The hours for our sale will be 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Beginning Wednesday, June 10, the Bargain Bin will be open in our regular location and our summer stock will be on sale. This stock has been stored and is safe

to be placed for sale. We will be open noon to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. This will allow our volunteers in the mornings to clean and sort. We are currently developing a policy to allow for garments to be tried on. Our policy will be posted in the Bargain Bin when we reopen. We hope to have a greeter each day that will accept your donations. Hand sanitizer

will be provided. The greeter will explain the route through the Bargain Bin, entering the usual way and exiting onto Waldo Way. Most of our volunteers are in the higher risk age group. Our intention is to keep our volunteers wanting to offer their services and, you, our customers as safe as possible. We look forward to seeing you at the Bargain Bin!

Name: Kali ID: 406098

Age: 4 years old Domestic Short Hair

Kali came to the Shelter when she was becoming stressed in her previous surroundings. She came to the Shelter in 2016 when she was found as a kitten in a tire at Kal-tire, so we know a little bit about her. Kali requires a calm, stable, stress free home so she can relax and come out of her shell. She is not a fan of other animals, and would feel best in a home with cat experienced guardians who can understand her need for space and patience.
