The Peachland Historic School Accessible Plaza Society campaign to raise funds for an accessible plaza continues to ramp up with the addition of a peach ribbon acknowledgement to help generate awareness of the project. With each donation of $25 or more, the society will provide a tax receipt and give away a Peach Ribbon they hope residents will wear or tie to their car, front door or fence to make Peachland awash with ribbons. Out of town donors are invited to tie their ribbon to the tree outside the historic school building, shown here with society board member Ean Price.

the fire. The circumstances around the cause of the fire has sparked several theories. “We were perplexed as to what would have caused the fire at that time of night in that area,” said Craig. “One resident had a photo of a
glowing object in the sky fairly high up and another resident came by while we were actioning the fire and shared some video footage with me of an object in the sky, again, at a decent altitude. Then something fell off of it that was burning and he followed it all the way down until the houses.” The falling object in the sky has led some people to speculate it might have been a meteorite. “I’m not disputing the meteorite theory, but the last time I checked rocks don’t support combustion. It was definitely something that came from the sky. We’re fairly confident it wasn’t fireworks or a flare or anything like that just from the height it came down from, and flares look very different in the sky as well. Definitely something fell from the sky that supported combustion,” said Craig, who suggested potentially it could have been a Chinese sky lantern.
“They do go up fairly high and they are literally flames in the sky,” said Craig. It is likely the official cause of the fire will be logged as undetermined, because no physical has yet been found at the scene. Peachland Fire and Rescue Service do not believe the fire to be suspicious or intentional in nature. Craig says if there is one takeaway or lesson learned from this fire it is the importance of following the FireSmart guidelines. “Really it’s just focussing on what we call the non-combustible zone and that’s zero to 1.5 metres from your house. Looking at that, if all you can do on your property is look at that zero to 1.5 metres, it makes all the difference in the world,” said Craig. In the case of this fire, he states if the 1.5 metres around the house had been maintained, it would have been a different story as far as not having any damage.

Automatic approvals will continue until we elect officials who listen and look This letter is written with reference to Al Bykowsky’s recent letter [Mar. 5, Peachland View], regarding the need for planning to represent residents’ wishes concerning development. Since the Peachtree saga, many residents have long since given up for this to ever happen. A further example that things have not changed is just recently when it was reported that an elected official suggested if residents were worried about losing their view then they should have bought the land. Just to recap, The Peachtree, a five storey mixed-use development, was proposed on the corner of Beach and 3rd Ave. Being built right on the property lines, with little parking and five storeys it clearly did not comply with our Official Community Plan (OCP), which among other specifications, clearly stated there should be no more than three stories on Beach Avenue. Over 470 residents objected to the proposal on the basis that the building would be an overwhelming eye-sore in the charming historic part of Peachland and there was no demand for such a project. Council refused to modify it and to avoid legal action brought by many concerned residents, the city was forced to change our OCP to specifically accommodate this piece of land, in order for it to proceed. There was an election shortly afterwards and unfortunately since there were two mayoral candidates supporting ‘three-storey only’ on Beach with the policy to retain our former OCP, it split the vote and the incumbent mayor won by a draw out of a hat. Therefore, the prospect of having the project retroactively modified was lost, since several of the ‘approve all development’ councillors were voted back in too. Unless we elect more individuals who will listen to residents, seek input from impartial planning experts, and look at the feasibility of projects, the automatically-approve-everything-that-a-developer-proposes will continue to be in the majority on council.

OPINION
Appropriate-development not anti-development Resident wants reconsideration of CR-2 The idea that buildings should be low on Beach Avenue and get taller as you get closer to the highway is not a radical idea. It is not anti-development, it is appropriate-development. Saving some lake view for the streets behind encourages development on the streets behind and preserves the charm and pleasure of our premier strolling street. Development and charm. Win-Win! Say “no” to tall buildings on Beach. Ted Cave, Peachland
Proposed development not appropriate In a residential neighbourhood, I never expected to potentially be living next door to a tattoo parlour or a convenience store. And to add insult to injury my home would be towered over by a 52-foot building and my privacy lost. The shadow from a build-
ing like this would take my sun away for most of the afternoon and evening. A building this height is just wrong in this neighbourhood. I ask council to reject this new zone. Iris Wilson, Peachland
It is encouraging that council is reconsidering the use of the CR-2 Zone for Beach Ave. development. I do not believe that the establishment of this zoning way back when was intended to be used for this purpose. The result would be a wall of five-storey condos along the entire length of Beach Ave. a few feet from the sidewalk, casting a shadow on Beach Ave., both literally and figuratively, leaving Peachland residents in single-family homes sandwiched between these 52-foot high square monoliths and Hwy 97. The irony is council’s desire for increased density, decreased parking issues and decreased traffic congestion could easily be achieved. Simply keep the taller buildings back from the lake, closer to the highway. Three floors of a five-story building will be higher than the homes on Beach Ave. and will still enjoy the views of Okanagan Lake. The citizens of Peachland depend on our elected officials to protect what we hold dear: Peachland’s history, charm, and views to name a few. For example, how long would it be before a savvy developer with profits on his mind rides into town and spots the Gasthaus location? Much greater profits can be realized selling five floors of condos than weiner schnitzel. Rodney Irwin, Peachland
Glenrosa fire escape route through Trepanier should be explored It was recently announced that the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) has received funding to improve fire evacuation routes for the Glenrosa area of West Kelowna. For Upper Glenrosa residents the current escape route is a bone jarring, vehicle destroying, 40 km adventure into tinder dry forests. Even new funding to upgrade and maintain the current Jack Pine route will not overcome the basic problem that the route is too long and residents fleeing fire are asked to rush into a fire hazard. There is a much shorter and safer potential. At roughly 4.8 km on Upper Glenrosa Road
there is a right hand turn (before the cattle guard). At the turn, a new road veering to the left (so going south) could connect with the Okanagan Connector near the Trepanier exchange. The proposed 4 to 5 km route would be through a valley so no big hills to deal with. This short exit route would be very accessible to emergence vehicles if needed. I think a significant chunk of any funding the regional district receives should be allocated to exploring this Trepanier road connection. It would be more responsive to the needs of residents at a lower cost. Steve Burke, West Kelowna
Three-storey maximum on Beach Ave. Vaccination clinic needed in Peachland Your story in the Mar. 12 Peachland View [A case of cold feet puts Peachland council in sticky situation] reminds me that citizens will have another opportunity in 18 months to vote for candidates who support clarity and accountability in policy and planning documents such as the Official Community Plan (OCP). Your story provides evidence of the effects of removing the three-storey maximum building height limits done to accommodate one developer. We are left with no limitations on the number of storeys or height, other than what council members want. I plan to ask every person running for a council seat next year to clearly specify the number of storeys and the heights of buildings they will vote to approve for development on Beach Avenue, and if they will vote to amend the OCP and reinstate the three-storey building height limitation. Nancy Merrill, Peachland
An open letter to Interior Health: Adequate cold storage facilities could be rented if not already available for the vaccines and thousands of residents would not be required to travel to and mix with others in neighbouring communities. Dr. Bonnie Henry, Peachland is not included in the list of vaccination centres; it should be as there are several thousand residents here, some of whom will have difficulty traveling to Summerland or West Kelowna. The pharmacy in Peachland provides flu vaccinations and perhaps there are dentists here who could also provide COVID vaccinations. Please reconsider the community centre in Peachland as a vaccination centre for the residents of Peachland to help the many seniors living here. Thank you. Malcolm Johnson, Peachland
Okanagan Timber Supply Review: is clear-cut an option? If you are a wine maker, farmer, tourist or a resident on the flood-plain of Lake Okanagan, you may have never heard of the Okanagan Timber Supply Review that calculates how many trees are safe to log, but it may interest you soon. The request from our Ministry of Forests Lands Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development’s top logger, the Chief Forester, Diane Nicholls, gave taxpayers two months to comment on how much clear-cut logging can be supported by the watersheds in our basin. Knowing what we know about today’s uncertain climate change and the certain effects of clear-cut deforestation in high elevation snow zones, perhaps the question the CF should be asking is not what to clear-cut but if we harvest trees at all. Surprisingly when inviting comments on the TSA, the CF asked us to keep in mind we have 21 sawmills to feed, (she neglected to mention B.C. loses 10 mills a year, every year for the past 20 years even with the CF’s thoughtful Annual Allowable Cut determinations.) She also neglected to mention Lake Okanagan has flooded three out of the last four years. Flooding is a factor when we remove tree canopy; with climate change we need to be more precautionary when logging. Academics, common sense and practicing foresters know you end up creating problems with all three water variables: quality, quantity and timing of flow, by practicing the kind of industrial forestry that’s happening in the Peachland watershed.
In an intact forest you conserve snowmelt and the runoff from water, and then you have a relatively even flow throughout the year. No floods, no droughts, natural water management. Nicholls is not precautionary in her AAC calculations; the formulas she uses have been criticized for coming up short and climate change is not taken into consideration anywhere in B.C.’s experimental forestry land management plans. The Okanagan TSA public should not ignore climate change and may wish to familiars themselves with our three-time flooded neighbour to the east and the Boundary AAC determinations the CF has allowed. Grand Forks is remarkable for two reasons: managed retreat and a class action suit. It is the first jurisdiction in B.C. to have forced expropriation of lands because governments deemed they were no long able to manage This precipitated the first class action suit in B.C. against government and industry logging operations; they are accused of negligence for logging local forests too quickly, in the higher snow zone elevations creating the conditions that caused the devastating flooding in May 2018. With these two possibilities, should the CF be asking to log areas in the Okanagan TSA at all?

Hiker rescued from summit of Pincushion JOANNE LAYH
A hiker injured near the summit of Pincushion Mountain was rescued before nightfall last Sunday, thanks to the collaborative efforts of several agencies in the region. The hiker took a tumble and by all appearances broke her ankle and wasn’t able to continue down the trail, said David Crawford, a search manager with Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR), in an interview with the View. Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig said his members were able to make quick patient contact and take up blankets, as it was cold and blustery at the summit. “It was great because the Peachland fire department was able to respond with some of their guys and they were able to get to the injured person pretty quickly. They were able to contact us and give us information on the condition of the trail and that was really, really important be-
cause at this time of year conditions are highly variable between the bottom of the trail and the top,” said Crawford. Peachland Fire and Rescue Service members found the trail was quite slick and icy in spots so the decision was made to remove the hiker by helicopter instead of being carried down the hill. The long line team from Penticton transported the hiker to Ponderosa Drive, where they were met by the rest of the team and an ambulance. Crawford said they were fortunate to get all of the pieces moving before darkness fell and the cooperation between the various agencies was critical. “We all have small groups and we all have limited capabilities but when we work together, we can accomplish amazing things,” said Crawford. Crawford suggests checking out adventuresmart.ca for tips before heading out.

Construction on the Trepanier Interconnect project at the intersection of Desert Pines and Trepanier ramped up this week. The project will eventually connect the Trepanier neighbourhood to the water treatment plant, which is expected to come online in a matter of weeks.
Beach Avenue homeowner Ted Cave rented a lift and placed it in his driveway to demonstrate to residents how high 52 feet is, as that’s the maximum height of the proposed development next door to him. Cave is opposing the establishment a new zone, referred to as CR-2 (Integrated Residential - Mixed Use), and amendment of the zoning of the property located at 4316 Beach Avenue that would allow for the development of a four-storey mixed use building next to his house. The 52 ft height is the maximum height of the building including the elevator shaft and stairwell located at the back of the building. The remainder of the roofline excluding the elevator shaft and stairwell is 44 ft 9”. The zoning made it past a public hearing and third reading only to be deferred at the last council meeting rather than face defeat. The issue is expected to be before Peachland council again next Tuesday. Cave says the lift will remain in his driveway until that time.
HOURS & SERVICES
Street Sweeping The District of Peachland will begin the spring street sweeping program starting the week of March 22, 2021. The project is anticipated to take 1-2 weeks to complete. Until your neighbourhood is swept, please limit all on-street parking and ensure waste bins are not placed on the road surface. The contractor will be working both during the day and overnight to ensure project efficiency. Thank you for your patience.

make a difference in the lives of seniors and in their community. Seniors in our community are one of the groups that have faced the most harmful impacts of COVID-19 both in terms of physical health and mental well-being. As a group, seniors already struggle with social isolation and disconnection.
Physical distancing measures and lack of in-person contact have further reduced the level of connection they experience in the community. This grant will provide the Peachland Wellness Centre Connects Program with the opportunity to enhance the online program. A portion of the grant will
be allocated to purchase and distribute new tablets to help ensure Peachland seniors who cannot connect with family and friends in person during these times can have safe relationships. The seniors will be taught how to operate the devices and shown how to contact friends and family. The tablets will also help these
How often to see the doctor Routine health checkups are a key part of staying healthy. Older adults may feel like they’re always visiting one doctor or another. But what is an acceptable frequency for doctor appointments? The answer isn’t always so cut and dry, and many health professionals have mixed feelings even among themselves over the magic number. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults over the age of 65 visit the doctor more than twice as often as 18- to 44-year-olds. According to Paul Takahashi, a physician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., adults should see their primary care physicians at least once a year to make sure diseases are being properly managed and to stay current on preventative screenings. Visiting the doctor more frequently does not necessarily add up to better health, and it actually can do the opposite. Dr. Peter Abadir, an associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says frequent visits to health facilties where sick people congregate puts one at a higher risk of illness or infection. Visiting the doctor only when necessary is one way to avoid risky exposure. Doctor visit frequency is not a one-size-fits-all answer. A yearly physical or checkup is a given, even for people who are healthy. People with a family history of certain conditions, like sleep disorders, cancer, high blood pressure, and other conditions, may need to see a doctor more
frequently than those with no such histories. In addition, patients may need referrals to certain specialists who work together to provide an overall health plan. That can increase the number of appointments and shorten the intervals between them. Johnson Memorial Health offers some statistics. • People visit the doctor four times a year on average. • Studies show that poor or uninsured people prolong the time between doctor’s visits. • Individuals with high blood pressure may need to see the doctor four times a year to ensure medications are working properly. • Patients on dialysis see the doctor several times a week. Dr. Jennifer Caudle, a family physician and assistant professor at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, NJ, says too often people visit the doctor only when they are really sick. That works to their disadvantage because the appointment will focus only on treating the illness instead of addressing other preventative care and screenings. Balance is necessary in regard to health care. Patients can work together with their doctors to develop screening schedules that are customized to their particular profiles. These schedules can be modified as health history information changes or as patients age. Doctors can dial back or increase health visits as needed.

In keeping with the appropriate precautions, the majority of those teaching the seniors in the use of the tablets will be younger people.

VantageOne Credit Union gets its first branch manager, Dee O’Toole JOANNE LAYH
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Peachland’s only credit union, VantageOne, might be turning four this year, but it was only a couple months ago that it got its first branch manager, Dee O’Toole. Originally from Portugal, O’Toole was raised in the Okanagan in both Penticton and Oliver. Over the course of her career, she’s worked with big banks and credit unions, quickly discovering that if you want the human touch, one on one, community feel kind of banking where you’re not a number, and you’re dealt with as a person, then that’s what you’ll find at a credit union. O’Toole says she fell in love with credit unions back in Alberta and has enjoyed working in the credit union system for years. Once her kids were grown and gone, she decided it was time to move back to the Okanagan to be near her mom. Though she’s only been with VantageOne in Peachland for a couple months, she already feels at home. While the Peachland location will celebrate its fourth anniversary in June, O’Toole is its first branch manager,
though until her arrival, account manager Erin Chadwick served as the face of the credit union in the community. O’Toole says she welcomes people in the community to come in and meet her or give her a call. “We’re committed to the community and getting to know our members,” said O’Toole. “Sometimes your banking and our lives are shades of grey, not black and white. That’s a credit union world. . . Everything is decided locally, which is different than a huge corporate office somewhere else.” O’Toole says at each stage of life you can still create a financial plan and she enjoys looking at her clients’ overall banking, discussing their long-term goals, and helping them start a financial plan or conduct a financial review to make sure the plan they have in place is still relevant. “Maybe you want to buy a travel trailer. How can we make that happen for you?” O’Toole said. “We can look at your income, but we can also look at your assets as a different way to look at your income stream. Are you a secure borrower because you have a lot of assets? That’s where we can get a little more creative with our lending.”
Two extra childcare spaces for Peachland PET OF THE WEEK Kelowna SPCA
JOANNE LAYH It isn’t much, but the town will soon be getting two more childcare spaces after a daycare located at 6140 Turner Ave was given approval to increase the number of children it can accept. At their last regular meeting Peachland council unanimously gave final reconsideration and adoption of a zoning amendment application that will allow for an increase in the number of children permitted in the facility from eight to 10. The daycare is located in a Single Detached Residential (R1 Zone) neighbourhood with agricultural and rural zoned properties located to the west and Turner Park located one lot to the north.
The property currently contains an existing daycare facility that has been operating under the use of ‘Care Facility, Minor’ for about five years. Last month the zoning amendment application submitted by the daycare operator received third reading from Peachland council. Ordinarily, this would be preceded by a public hearing, but due to the pandemic and given that the proposal is consistent with the Official Community Plan, that requirement was waived. Instead, the notification was advertised in the View and mailed to owners and occupants of property within 100 metres of the subject property. The municipality received no objections from anyone within a 100-metre radius.
2021 Volunteer Breakfast postponed until fall JOANNE LAYH The municipality’s annual Volunteer Breakfast event to recognize and celebrate volunteer contributions in the community has been postponed until fall, due to pandemic and the challenges it presents in hosting such an activity. Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services, had hoped to host a drivethrough volunteer breakfast event, but still maintain social distancing. However, due to high infection rates and the emergence of COVID-19 variants, she recommended the event be postponed. In her report to council, Wiebe presented several options for council to consider, including a rescheduled drive-through breakfast, volunteer appreciation packages, or volunteer gifts.
Councillor Pam Cunningham suggested a drive-through coffee and gifts. Councillor Patrick Van Minsel said he would support that idea, if an in-person breakfast event isn’t possible. Wiebe said it would be fairly easy to serve muffins along with the coffee, which they would try to source locally. “I’m still of the opinion that anything that gets us together in groups is inappropriate, even if it doesn’t currently offend the provincial health orders. I think we are in too much of a hurry actually to regroup,” said Councillor Terry Condon. “We’re seeing that variants of this COVID stuff start to become problematic. I don’t think ours is a community that you would want to put at risk.” Council resolved to re-
schedule the drive-through Volunteer Breakfast to later
this year, most likely sometime in the fall.
