$65,150 in requests from community groups for civic grants in 2021 JOANNE LAYH Peachland council has received 10 civic grant applications for 2021 totalling $65,150. The grant applications will be up for council
consideration in budget deliberations scheduled to take place during committee meetings over the next several months. Peachland’s civic grant program assists citizens in organizing themselves
around community issues and projects. The intent of council’s civic grant policy is to support and encourage local non-profit organizations that contribute to the quality of life in Peachland, and which would cease to
function without assistance from the district. Grant applications are capped at $1,000 per organization, although many community groups applying for the grant are exempt from that restriction.
The amount being requested by community groups has gradually soared in recent years. Only seven years ago the total amount requested was just over $35,000. The following community groups have submitted applications for civic grants in 2021: • Peachland Citizens’ Patrol - $2,400 (exempt); • Peachland Community Policing Office - $1,750 (exempt); • Peachland Historical Society - $16,000 (exempt); • Peachland Community Arts Council - $15,000 (exempt); • Peachland Wellness Centre - $15,000 (exempt) plus $2,000 gratis use of facility; • The Bridge Youth & Family Services – gratis use of facility; • Peachland Fall Fair (received late) - $3,000 plus gratis use of facility for three-day use of community centre; • Bat Education Ecological Protection Society (BEEPS) - $1,000 plus gratis use of facility; • Peachland Water-
shed Protection Alliance - $1,000 plus gratis use of facility; and • Peachland and District Retirement Society (received late) - $10,000 (exempt) plus gratis use of facility. Organizations may submit an application for a civic grant if they meet the following criteria: • Has been in operation no less than six months in the District of Peachland; • Is based in this community; • Has membership within the District of Peachland or surrounding areas; • Has the majority of its members as voting members; • Is in good standing with its licensing authority; and • Has made, at a minimum, an application to the Central Okanagan Foundation, and has received written response from the COF or any other granting organization. Grant applicants will be invited to the Jan. 12 committee of the whole budget meeting to answer any questions regarding their applications.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May the new year bring you much health & happiness. We look forward to serving you in 2021!

2020 Year in Review JOANNE LAYH
Fatal collision leads to petition for safety barriers
Thousands of people signed a petition calling on the province to install safety barriers on the highway between Summerland and Peachland following a fatal collision that took place in the afternoon of Jan. 16, leaving a section of Hwy 97 closed for hours. The collision happened 5 km north of Summerland, where a southbound vehicle with two occupants crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound transport truck. 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. Road conditions and speed were considered possible factors in the collision.
Fallen tree leaves power out for hours
Power was out in some areas of Peachland for over six hours on the first Saturday in January after a fallen tree took out a power line. A tree on Renfrew Rd came down on a line at a pole, knocking out power to 656 BC Hydro customers in Peachland.
Drink considered a factor in Drought Hill accident
RCMP cited alcohol as a possible factor in a single-vehicle accident that happened on Drought Hill on the morning of Mon. Jan. 13. West Kelowna RCMP attended a single vehicle collision on Drought Hill involving a GMC pick-up truck that reportedly hit some black ice and lost control. The northbound truck was travelling uphill when it crossed the centre line and collided with the rock wall and suffered significant damage. The driver, a Kelowna man who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, suffered minor injuries and was taken by ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital. Two passengers were uninjured.
Truck lands in Okanagan Lake
A new driver learned a lesson in winter conditions the hard way when their truck finished up in the lake. The single vehicle accident happened at the Princeton Ave. boat launch car park on the afternoon of Feb. 4.
increases in line with the consumer price index.
Dump truck snags wires causing rollover
A dump truck travelling on Trepanier Rd near Star Place snagged some cable and phone wires, causing the vehicle to roll over. Peachland Fire and Rescue Service rescued the driver, who was trapped inside his vehicle. First responders popped the back window out of the truck and safely assisted the operator out of the truck through the back window. Low lying lines were believed to have contributed to the accident.
Huge grant for flood protection
Last February Peachland’s community services department was successful in receiving a $750,000 structural flood mitigation grant to do mitigation planning that will result in permanent flood protection measures between 4th Street and Swim Bay. Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe said the grant funding she applied for will help protect critical tourism and community infrastructure from future flood risk.
At the Feb. 11 council meeting, director of planning, Darin Schaal, brought back the request for a full-time bylaw enforcement officer as a new staff position. The motion to approve was unanimous.
MOTI district manager Steve Sirett visited Peachland council on Jan. 14 to say they have a preliminary design developed for the Trepanier intersection signal, but there is no funding for construction yet. A public meeting regarding the Peachland Transportation Study originally intended for last fall was moved to spring. It would later be replaced with an online survey due to COVID-19.
The Peachland Rotary mural was once again vandalized at the end of March. It would once again be restored by the Peachland Community Arts Council in August.
Late penalties on utility bills and property taxes deferred
In response to the COVID-19 health emergency, Peachland council voted unanimously on Apr. 14 to waive late penalties on the first two quarterly utility billings in 2020 as well as defer late penalties on property taxes until November 1. Late penalties on utility billings would later be extended to include utility bills ending December 31, 2020.
Rollover on Hwy 97
A pair of young women walked away virtually unscathed from a rollover that happened on Hwy 97 and Princeton Ave on the morning of Apr. 21. Impairment was not considered a factor in the single vehicle collision that caused traffic to be diverted along Beach Ave. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Pincushion Quilt Guild still going strong Dear Editor, It appears that there is some confusion around town about the local quilting groups. Recent letters and articles in the View have mentioned that the Peachland Needlework and Quilt group that met on Monday afternoons in the 50+ Activity Centre was calling it quits after many years and many contributions to the town, 50+ Activity Centre and Peachland Fall Fair, etc. That is unfortunate and I am sure they will be missed. I have friends in that group as well, but the quilt group I belong to is called Pincushion Quilt Guild and we meet every Wednesday at the banquet room of the Peachland Community Centre (at least we did until COVID restrictions were enacted). We have 40 members and have around 18 people on a waiting list to join our group. A couple of people have commented to members that they are sorry our group has folded and I want to assure you that this is not the case at all. In 2005, the local quilt group divided into two. Those who wished to have a more organized group with an executive, offer occasional workshops, have teachers visit to teach new techniques and have a membership in The Canadian Quilt Guild formed the Pincushion Quilt Guild. I thought I would enlighten you about some of the accomplishments of our members during this trying year, as well as our regular activities. Our members have always sewn donation quilts and other items. Annually, we sew and donate between 40 and 50 quilts for donation to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. The women and some children get to choose their quilt from the pile and appreciate the warm hug this gesture gives them in a time of need. This year we also sewed quite a few Christmas stockings for them. We have sewn dozens of quilts for the NICU unit at the Kelowna General Hospital and there are several nursing homes and local families in need who have received quilts from us. One of our members, Jeanne Nagel, sewed quilts for all of the firemen and emergency personnel around town after they stopped the fire from consuming her home a few years ago. In March, during this year of pandemic, we recognized the need for face masks. A monetary donation from the Peachland Lions enabled us to extend our fabric, thread and elastic stash to fulfill this need. We sewed masks for residents of the seniors housing building, and masks for free distribution at the Peachland Pharmacy. Many of us also sewed masks for our own extended families and I know that member Maurita Graham sewed 1,000 masks for the Mount Boucherie High School community where she taught! A request from a nurse at KGH in Kelowna led us to sew scrub caps that would accommodate long hair for the nurses at KGH, as well as cloth tote bags, into which they could toss their contaminated scrubs. A nurse could throw the bag into the washer without touching the scrubs again. I am not sure of the final numbers of these items, but many dozens were made. Thank you for letting me clear the air! We are all anxious to return to sewing in a group when it is safe to do so, but until then we will continue to create and contribute from home for ourselves, our families and the community.

A 25-year-old male driver and a passenger were sent to hospital for treatment of minor injuries after the vehicle they were travelling in ended up in the lake on Apr. 18 as the result of a single-vehicle accident. The driver of a grey Mercedes sedan, believed to be from the Lower Mainland, was reportedly travelling northbound on Hwy 97 near Renfrew Rd before veering off the roadway and into Okanagan Lake. Alcohol and speed were not believed to be factors in the collision.

On May 1 Drought Hill was unfortunately once again the scene of a fatal accident in Peachland. The collision was apparently the result of the driver of a southbound Buick sedan crossing the centre line, colliding head on with a northbound Mazda car, subsequently resulting in collisions with two other nearby vehicles. The driver of the Mazda was pronounced deceased on scene and the driver of the Buick was transported to Kelowna General Hospital with minor injuries. Speed and alcohol were not considered to be factors.
Highways says median barriers warranted
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) completed its engineering analysis of Hwy 97 from Peachland to Summerland and determined that segments of the highway are warranted for median barrier installation. The decision followed two petitions for barriers this year, each the result of a fatality along the stretch of highway from Peachland to Summerland.

COVID-19: Year in Review DALE BOYD COVID-19 dominated the headlines in a dreadful year that turned the world upside down. The Province of B.C. announced its first confirmed case on Jan. 28, 2020., a man in his 40s living in the Vancouver Coastal Health region who had travelled to Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the pandemic. Soon after, the number of cases climbed relatively slowly with the provincial case count reaching 32 on March 9, when the first Canadian COVID-19 related death was recorded in B.C., a resident of a care home in North Vancouver.
First case in IH, public health restrictions begin
The first case of COVID-19 in Interior Health was announced on Feb. 14, then known as a “novel coronavirus.” The first case was a woman in her 30s who lived in the In-
terior Health region and had travelled to Shanghai, China. While the Okanagan was relatively untouched by the virus in the first few months of 2020, public health orders would begin to heavily impact everyone’s way of life. Shortly after the first provincial announcement of public health orders to stop the spread of the virus, and the term “social distancing” becoming ubiquitous. With the total number of cases up to 53 in the province in March, Minister of Health Adrian Dix and B.C.’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry discouraged gatherings of 250 or more people, and advised against travel outside of Canada, including the U.S. On March 17 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the closure of the Canada-U.S. border to all non-essential travel. The border has remained closed to tourism and recreation since. Schools from kindergarten to Grade 12 were closed in B.C., at the time indefinitely, on March 17.
A state of emergency was declared in the province of B.C. on March 17 which has been extended multiple times and has continued throughout 2020. The regional district cancelled all regional parks programs and events and the Okanagan Regional Library closed all branches effective March 17. Interior Health began postponing non-urgent scheduled surgeries on March 18. On the same day the District of Peachland closed the fitness room at the community centre and implemented other precautions, such as cancelling unnecessary meetings and offering full refunds for rental and event cancellations. Later in March restaurants across the province were ordered to close dine-in services. Local businesses and tourism organizations began the long and painful process CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

COVID-19: Year in Revew CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8
of adjusting to public health orders while continuing to operate — a struggle which continued throughout 2020 and worsened as the second wave of the virus began to rear its head. Health care professionals began seeing patients virtually in late March, as many meetings and appointments in 2020 started gradually moving online. The RDCO announced the closure of its playgrounds on March 20, soon followed by the District of Peachland and Central Okanagan Public Schools. By March 25, there were 41 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Interior Health region.
Inmate tests positive, outbreak in West Kelowna
On March 28 Interior Health declared an outbreak amongst temporary foreign workers at the Bylands Nursery in West Kelowna after two individuals tested positive for COVID-19. Following a provincial health order, 63 workers were quarantined on the site. On April 2, Interior Health confirmed an inmate at the South Okanagan Correctional Centre had tested positive for COVID-19, the first positive test in a correctional centre in B.C. The province then released three inmates from the facility who qualified following early release assessments by the province, and one inmate serving an intermittent sentence. Three staff members at the correctional centre would test positive in August and the outbreak would be declared over in September. On April 15, the provincial health authority confirmed the first COVID-19 related death in the Interior Health region, a man in his 60s.
Kelowna cluster
In July, cases were rising in Kelowna following outbreaks at private parties on the Canada Day long weekend, which would come to be referred to as the Kelowna cluster. A new testing site was set up in downtown Kelowna at the Community Health and Services Centre to be convenient and accessible to people who live, work and socialize downtown. The testing site would remain open until Aug. 11, when the number of new cases of COVID-19 had stabilized. The outbreak was declared officially over on Aug. 31. Further south, the province confirmed the first COVID-19 outbreak in the Oliver area aside from the South Okanagan Correctional Centre. One person connected to the outbreak at an Oliver cherry farm had likely been in Kelowna according to Interior Health’s statements at the time. The outbreak only had four associated cases including local staff and temporary foreign workers who had completed a 14day quarantine after arriving in Canada. In June, a member survey by the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association (BCFGA) suggested that more than 67 per cent of farmers had reduced fruit production as a result of uncertainties and risks created by COVID-19.

How older drivers can approach vehicle maintenance and social distancing The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 in the winter of 2019-20 required people of all ages and backgrounds to make changes in their daily lives. Elderly men and women were among the groups the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified as high-risk for severe illness from COVID-19. That forced people 65 years and older to be especially cautious when engaging in otherwise normal activities, including having their vehicles serviced. In recognition of the threat posed by COVID-19, many auto dealerships and service shops implemented changes to their operations to ensure the safety of their employees and their customers, including those in high-risk groups. Seniors can take additional measures to ensure they stay safe while having their vehicles serviced. • Inquire about safety measures. Before booking vehicle maintenance appointments, seniors should call the dealership or body shop to determine what’s being done to keep everyone safe. Many such businesses quickly implemented new safety protocols so they should be ready and willing to share this information over the phone. Look for specific information about sanitization practices. Are vehicle interiors being sprayed with disinfectant before and after maintenance appointments? Are employees wearing masks each day? Are employees being checked for COVID-19 symptoms before each shift? These are some of the simple yet effective measures many dealerships and body shops are taking to ensure the safety of their customers. • Ask about pickup service. Some communities are encouraging high-risk segments of the population to adhere to stay-at-home measures. Elderly men and women are still vulnerable to COVID-19 even if the number of reported cases in their towns has decreased. Pickup service, in which a service shop employee will come pick up and then drop off a customer’s car once the work is done, can be a great way for elderly drivers to have their vehicles serviced without going out in public. Even if pickup is not policy, ask if it’s possible and request that your vehicle
be disinfected upon being returned. If pickup is not an option, ask a younger friend or family member to drive your car in for maintenance in your place. • Only visit safe facilities. Elderly drivers who must visit a dealership or body shop in person should confirm that waiting rooms feature socially distant seating. If possible, drop the car off and then go for a walk or find somewhere safe off the premises to read a book or listen to music while the work is being done. Elderly drivers who need to have their vehicles serviced can take certain steps to stay safe in the era of social distancing.
