Kids of all ages enjoy Haunted Dock event JOANNE LAYH
PHOTO PEACHLAND RECREATION
Over 500 people chose to celebrate Halloween last Sunday at the municipality’s Jack-O’-Lantern Walk on the Haunted Dock event at Heritage Park. Turnout to the event was significantly higher over last year, when an estimated 370 people attended. “It went really well. The weather was really cooperative, which was nice. We had a bit of wind during set up, which as threatening to blow all of our decorations away, but it calmed down around three o’clock and we got the whole pier decorated,” recreation program coordinator Ben Stringer told the View. All 400+ feet of the pier was decorated with the help of recreation volunteers as well as numerous community groups and the Mailett family. The Peachland Fire Brigade, BEEPS, Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, Peachland Riding Club, Peachland Ambassadors, Peachland Wellness Centre, Peachland Seniors Slo Pitch team, and Peachland Lions Club each decorated a portion of the pier with lights and decorations. “All the way until 8 p.m. we still had people coming through. It was threatening to go on all night so we had to eventually make the call to close it down,” said Stringer. “It was an opportunity for Peachland families to get out and enjoy trick or treating in Peachland. It was enjoyable for the kids to trick or treat and it was enjoyable for adults to come down and see all the kids in their costumes and get to enjoy it so I was calling it an event for kids of all ages and it really was.” Entry to the Halloween event was by donation to the Peachland Food Bank. The event raised $370 in cash donations and three boxes full of non-perishable food.

International flights to resume at Kelowna International Airport JOANNE LAYH International arrivals and departures will soon be returning to Kelowna International Airport (YLW) for the first time in many months. On Tuesday the federal
government announced that starting Nov. 30, international flights carrying passengers will be permitted to land at YLW. “The Peachland Chamber of Commerce is excited about a return to international flights
touching down in the Okanagan Valley,” said chamber general manager Patrick Van Minsel. “YLW is the gateway to Peachland and the Central Okanagan, providing easy access to the region for inves-
tors and visitors, while local businesses can connect their products and services with the rest of the world.” Van Minsel went on to say the resumption of international flights will not only support economic recovery of the en-
tire region, but it also helps stabilize operations at YLW, which experienced a $2.5 million loss due to the lack of international flights. “The federal government’s decision also tells airlines that the Okanagan is open for business,” said Van Minsel. “We are looking forward to welcoming the world back to the Okanagan to experience our winter activities, our dynamic cultural scene and amazing landscape.” Currently YLW is connected to 14 domestic destinations. Alaska Airlines plans to resume its route to Seattle beginning Dec. 16. In January Sunwing will resume flights to Varadero and WestJet will
restore service to Phoenix, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. “Although our international status will be reinstated Nov. 30, it will take some time to have international flights operating again out of YLW. Some airlines have had to push back previously scheduled routes until 2022, due to the uncertainty of timing of YLW’s international status,” said airport director Sam Samaddar. “We are thrilled to be able to once again connect passengers internationally and welcome visitors to our region, and are working closely with airlines to have these routes in place as soon as possible.”

RCMP sends out speed warning for Coquihalla and Connector Pile burning above Peachland PEACHLAND VIEW
JAKE COURTEPATTE Merritt RCMP is asking the public to watch their speed on Highway 5 (Coquihalla) and Highway 97C (Connector) with winter conditions now in effect. Merritt Sgt. Josh Roda, in the spirit of Christmas already, sent out the following release to remind drivers of the potential risks: “T’was the end of October in Merritt, and all around, the snow was falling onto the high ground. Vehicles were speeding on highways without care, hoping to make their destinations as quick as a hare. From the mountain peaks,

there arose such a clatter, as vehicles crashed and flipped due to white matter. Merritt RCMP and partners rushed to the scenes, placing themselves in danger with a small hope to glean. Please slow down this winter season so we all can be safe, if you see flashing lights please use your brakes! Sgt. Roda added, “we are pleading with the public to please slow down when driving this winter season. It’s only the end of October and we’ve already been to numerous crashes on our highways and one where an officer and a partner agency were almost struck by a passing vehicle”. Both the Coquihalla and Connector require winter tires or chains until May 1.
Residents may see smoke and/or flames in upcoming days caused by planned pile burning in the area. BC Wildfire Service, in conjunction with Okanagan Shuswap Resource District and Penticton Indian Band, plans to burn approximately 1,100 piles of wood debris in several locations throughout the Penticton Fire Zone as part of fuels management projects. The projects are intended to reduce the wildfire hazard present in Penticton Creek, Ellis Creek and Meadow Valley. In Meadow Valley 150 piles will be burned approximately four kilometres southwest of Peachland on the bench above Antlers Beach. The project was expected to begin Nov. 1. “Staff from the Penticton Indian Band and BC Wildfire Service will carefully prepare, control, and monitor these fires,” says land and resource coordinator Michel Woodman. “Smoke and/or flames may be visible throughout the central and south Okanagan Valley, particularly from Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, Okanagan Falls and Hwy 97.” The exact timing of the burns will depend on site, weather, venting and snow conditions. Woodman says burning will proceed only if conditions are suitable and allow smoke to dissipate.

Composting, mining, and water protection On Tuesday October 26 members of the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA) were the guests of Glencore Canada Corp. and Brenda Renewables Inc. (BRI) for a tour of the former mine site and proposed location of a composting facility near Peachland. When PWPA heard the announcement by BRI that it was proposing an industrial-scale Class A composting facility at the old mine site, we requested a tour of the area to get a better understanding of how this could impact our watershed – the source of our drinking water. Thirteen PWPA members came out on a seasonably spooky foggy day to learn more about industrial composting, and to see the “fabled” Brenda Mine site, which has been closed for about 30 years. On the tour, we were reminded BRI is not building a biosolids treatment plant, although biosolids will be a component of the feedstock for the final compost product. BRI outlined their plans and timeline and detailed the vision for the development of their composting business at the Brenda Mines site. Local and national Glencore reps gave us the details on the current operations at the site, and the technology that ensures that toxic mine waste does not enter the drinking water supply or the fish-bearing creeks in the watershed and Lake Okanagan. In essence the entire Glencore portion of the site is one big water treatment plant, which was put in place largely as a result of the community activism of Peachlanders Joe and Jessica Klein, Peter Chattaway, Lee Humphries and other local environmentalists who demanded the installation of a water treatment plant to protect our water from mine waste, in the 90s before the mine was shuttered. Only three other closed mines in all of B.C. enjoy this kind of technology. Thank you to the team from Brenda Renewables, and representatives from Glencore for their time, information, and for sharing their plans for the composting initiative and look forward to continuing the dialog. PWPA is still reviewing the merit of this project against possible environmental impacts. If the project proceeds, it sets a precedent for future benign initiatives in this watershed, all of which are permitted by the province without need for our community or local government approval. However, will all future activities enjoy long term success, maintain ecological integrity and fulfill their original promises? We know how easily today’s promises can be broken by industries that use our watershed. We are still waiting for the sail boats and recreation opportunities on the tailings pond promised to Peachland residents by original mine owners, Noranda, in 1967. One closing thought; the bigger question is why are these kinds of industrial proposals just “business as usual” for rural multi-use watersheds? Do you think Vancouver and Victoria would tolerate having a composting facility on their decommissioned open-pit mine sites in their community drinking watersheds?

We celebrate 100th year of the Canadian poppy HENRY LEAMAN CWO RETIRED, SGT AT ARMS DOUG WHITE CWO RETIRED, EXECUTIVE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION #69
Every year since 1921 on the eleventh hour of November 11th Canadians, including our fellow Peachlanders, pause for two minutes to honour and remember the men and women who served and continue to serve Canada. Whether in times of war, peace or conflict or now helping with COVID-19 duties, these dedicated people are there to serve. Together we remember the 2,300,000 Canadians who have served our country. We remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice, 118,000 men and women who gave their lives.
The First World War saw Peachland, whose population was 300 in 1914, send 60 men to war; 17 did not return. This on a per capita basis was the largest life lost in any Canadian community. This in today’s perspective would be the equivalent of Peachland losing the lives of 292 men from the current 5,000 plus population. 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the poppy in Canada. Since July 1921 our country Canada has joined with other nations and has adopted the poppy as our national symbol of remembrance. We wear the poppy today and for the last 100 years to signify our thanks to the many Canadians who laid down their lives for our country. We must never forget everyone including those who returned to Canada to be reunited with their families. Please remember the following as we participate in the most important days in Peachland.
The Act of Remembrance They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. We will remember them. Join us in giving thanks in remembering at the Peachland Cenotaph on November 11th.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM...

FOR SENIORS Factors to focus on when discussing driving with seniors Around 45 million licensed drivers on the roads today are age 65 and older. Driving is one way for seniors to stay independent and live fuller lives, but traffic crashes are a leading cause of injury and death for older adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Older adults are more than twice as likely than younger drivers to report having medical conditions that make it difficult to drive, and usage of certain medications can further affect the ability to drive safely. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration urges older drivers, friends and family to talk about driving safety. The following are some points to emphasize during such discussions. • Physical fitness: Driving is more than just understanding road signs and how the car works. Safe driving requires sufficient physical fitness to operate a vehicle. Exercising and being active by walking daily, stretching and performing strength-training exercises can make it easier to steer and get in and out of the car. • Seat belts: Seat belts save countless lives. Some older drivers may have grown up during a time when seat belts were not standard on vehicles and may not recognize the importance of wearing them. However, seat belts are crucial each and every time drivers get behind the wheel. • Vision checkups: The CDC recommends that adults have their vision checked by an eye doctor at least once per year. Corrective lenses or glasses also should be worn if they are needed to improve vision. • Medications management: Individuals should exercise caution when taking medications, especially sleep and pain medications. Even cold remedies can affect driver safety, advises the Mayo Clinic. Always read medication labels and pharmacy inserts to determine if it’s safe drive while on a given medication. • Limitations and modifications: Getting older may come with certain physical limitations that can be remedied with a few modifications. An occupational therapist may be able to recommend assistive devices, such as steering wheel covers that make gripping the wheel easier, or a swiveling seat pad to make getting out of a vehicle less strenuous. Aging drivers and their families can focus on various factors to keep such motorists safe when they’re behind the wheel.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle and dear friend, William Ralph McCrea. Bill was born in Winnipeg, MB and spent most of his midlife in Peachland, BC with his wife of 47 years, Judy, raising their five children, with his late parents Lillian and Kenneth and extended parents, Gladys and Albert, always close by. Bill “The House Doctor” McCrea did not stay put for long, as he took pride in travelling for both pleasure and work. He left a trail of completed renovation projects and countless smiling friends and family wherever he went. In recent years, Bill and Judy spent much time as snowbirds in Phoenix, Arizona, where they enjoyed playing golf, horseshoes and pool games. Bill could be found playing card games around a propane fire or by their community pool with their fast friends at El Mirage. He had the gift of gab and a heart of gold, always willing to drop anything to offer a helping hand for those he loved, or to attend one of his children’s’ or grandchildren’s sporting events. William is survived by Judy, whom he met in Penticton, BC, their five children Chris (Amanda), Dave, Elissa (Scott), Jenn (Fernando), and Laura (Tim). He will forever hold a place in the hearts of his eleven grandchildren, many of whom had the honor as babies of falling asleep to the vibration of their grandfather’s snores. He is survived by his brothers and sister Greg, Kenny, Pat, Dan, Stewart, Steven and Brent, and his extended siblings Darlene and Doug. It is with great regret that a Memorial service is closed, but on Friday, November 5, 2021 at 1:00 pm you can attend from afar via the following Livestream link: www.springfieldfuneralhome.com/obituaries/mccrea-william-bill-ralph

Kobe came to the BC SPCA Kelowna when his family could no longer keep up with his exercise needs. At only 1 1/2 years old, this big boy is already 100 lbs and does not realize his size.

art featuring displays by Joan Skeet, a contemporary abstract artist, John Rousseau, a 3D visual artist and Peter Flanagan, our local potter. An abstract expressionist painter, Joan Skeet was born in the Okanagan Valley. She was fortunate to grow up roaming orchards, open grasslands, forests, and on the lake. The valley has remained in her bones and has influenced her art enormously. As a self-taught artist she painted and drew for a number of years. Skeet then decided to pursue a formal art education and graduated from Okanagan College with distinction in Visual Arts. To complete her art education she moved to Vancouver, graduating from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design with double majors in Painting and Sculpture. Skeet remained in Vancouver for the following 28 years pursuing her art career. She gained gallery representation in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Victoria and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Throughout those years, she broadened her career by teaching workshops, mentoring, and jurying. She has participated in well over 50 solo and group shows in both private and public galleries. Skeet returned to live in the

in her large garden. She is currently creating botanical designs in collaboration with a local clothing designer under the label Lopatecki & Skeet. She continues to paint on a regular basis. John Rousseau is a 3D visual artist who specializes in high end architectural fabrication and finishing with a focus on custom furniture design. His work is permanently on display in dozens of residential and commercial applications all over the province. Rousseau was chosen as one of five finalists from the west coast contingent to compete on a $10 million per episode HGTV production show, Canada’s Handyman Challenge. He completed Okanagan Crush Pad wineries’ hospitality corridor consisting of two massive, movable tasting bars, a London Plane boardroom table, benches, sales carts, service stations and custom John Wilson Rousseau engraved service ware. Cedar Creek Winery is his largest single furniture commission to date for visionary wine guru and art collector, Anthony Von Mandl. A full build out of the new, state of the art restaurant includes tables, handmade chairs, leather wrapped banquets and three
massive, solid white oak service stations. There is more work yet to come on this project with an administration building and tasting room yet to be completed and furnished. Peter Flanagan, a local potter, has worked in the ceramic field for over 40 years, 35 of which have been in Peachland. His education consists of a Fine Arts Diploma from David Thompson University, a BA in Art History from University of Victoria, and a residency at the Banff Centre of Fine Arts. He has had many exhibitions and teaching assignments over the years. You can view his complete CV at the gallery. Join us this Saturday, November 6 at 10:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. at the Peachland Art Gallery for an art talk and viewing of Flanagan’s exciting ceramic wall chargers now exhibiting as part of the current exhibition, Wood, Clay, & Canvas. Flanagan will discuss the inspiration, process and techniques used to make what begins with 100 pounds of clay on the pottery wheel. You won’t want to miss this informative presentation. The exhibition is on display Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. until Sunday, Nov. 14.
