New provincial regulations bring big changes to open burning JOANNE LAYH Residents who are considering open burning this season should familiarize themselves with the BC Ministry of Environment’s newly introduced Provincial Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation because significant changes are on the way.

Starting Oct. 1, new restrictions on open burning will be applied by the province that could impact property owners and agricultural growers throughout the Central Okanagan.

As in the past, fire departments in the Central Okanagan will issue permits to those who qualify and meet the requirements of local fire protection bylaws and if necessary, each department enforces its own bylaw regulations.

In Peachland, burning permits issued under Central Okanagan bylaws are available from Peachland Fire and Rescue Service.

However, additional new requirements will come into place on Oct. 1 in accordance with the BC Ministry of Environment’s newly introduced Provincial Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation. The regulation requires that before lighting any fire, anyone with a permit issued by their local fire department must also separately ensure compliance with the new provincial regulation.

The regulation divides the province into three smoke sensitivity zones, each with their own set of requirements. The Central Okanagan is located within the High Sensitivity Zone, which means numerous new requirements must be met before lighting any fire, including increased mandatory setbacks near neighbouring properties, hospitals, schools and health care facilities and new provisions to encourage the use of cleaner-burning technologies. Under the new regulation efforts also must be made to reduce the amount of vegetative debris to be burned through alternative methods.

In addition, property owners who have obtained a valid permit from their local fire service and meet all of the Provincial Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation requirements must also call the toll-free Outdoor Burning Hotline at 855-262-2876

(BURN) before lighting a fire to determine if open burning is allowed on a particular day. In order for burning to take place, both the venting and air quality conditions must be good. This information will also be available each day after 8 a.m. at rdco. com/airquality.

Peachland Fire and Rescue Service is encouraging residents to familiarize themselves with the new provincial regulation.

“As a proactive approach, what Peachland has done is we’ve gone back a year into our permitting process and we’re notifying those property owners who’ve taken permits out in the last year that they need to be aware of these new changes that are coming up,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told the View. “It is a little complex to read through the regulation. You’ll have to read through it more than once probably to get the full gist of it, but we’re strongly encouraging those taking out permits to get familiar with these new provincial regulations from the Ministry of Environment.”

Craig says the regulations are slightly different than our local bylaws so residents have to understand that not only must they meet local smoke control regulation bylaw, but they also have to meet the provincial regulations as well and be familiar with both.

“Under the provincial regulation the venting has to be 55 or better, which is a good rating, but in our area, we actually require 65 or better. When we say residents have to be aware of both regulations, they have to follow the most strict rules of each regulation, so in this case they have to follow our 65 venting index for burning,” Craig said.

Craig also offered an example where the new provincial regulation is more stringent than local bylaws.

“Under the provincial regulation, depending on the size of the material you’re burning, you could have to have a setback of 100 metres from a neighbouring residence.

Under our bylaw we say 30 metres from any property line or structure, so in this case the provincial regulation is more stringent than our local bylaw so they have to follow that 100 metre setback, depending on what size of material they’re burning.” Craig said.

“Really, what we want to get across to people is just because they get a permit from the District of Peachland, doesn’t mean they’re in compliance with provincial regulations. They have to ensure on their own that they comply with the new provincial regulations. The provincial regulations will be enforced by the province, meaning any complaints against the OBSCR requirements would be to the RAPP line and a conservation officer will be following up on those.”

Under the bylaws of the District of Peachland, nuisance smoke from open burning is not allowed.

Yard waste such as leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, weeds and other garden waste are not allowed to be burned.

Violators of local bylaws could receive a fine or be charged with the cost of putting out the fire by their fire service.

RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith says residents are encouraged to report anyone violating local bylaws by burning on a non-burning day by calling the Regional Fire Dispatch Centre at 250-469-8577. Potential violations of the provincial regulations should be reported to the BC RAPP line (1-877-952-7277).

Under regional district and local fire bylaws permitted open burning must be complete on April 30, although the date may be adjusted depending on the local fire hazard.

Cleaner air alternatives to open burning PEACHLAND VIEW STAFF The Regional Air Quality program is encouraging residents to consider clearer air alternatives to open burning.

Regional Air Quality program coordinator Nancy Mora Castro says many options exist that don’t require outdoor burning.

Mora Castro encourages residents to consider the following alternatives: • The bi-weekly curbside yard waste collection program for leaves, grass, pine needles and small prunings, which will be extending service through December this year; • The yard waste drop off program available at the Glenmore Landfill and Wwestside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre (Asquith Road in West Kelowna); • The Mow-Chip Rent-it Rebate pro-

gram for residents with a property one hectare or greater in size that have a small volume of wood for fuel reduction and/or agricultural activities that can’t be served through the regular Agricultural Chipping Program; • Air curtain burning, which uses forced air to burn wood faster and with less smoke; and • Private companies that offer wood chipping and grinding services, rent portable chippers or provide yard waste pick up for disposal.

Mora Castro says there are also alternatives to open burning for agricultural producers in the Central Okanagan through the use of the Agricultural Chipping Program.

The program offers a Best Management Practices handbook to help farmers.

Goats Peak Regional Park at Seclusion Bay now open to public

PEACHLAND VIEW STAFF The Okanagan Trail 2000 vision for a continuous recreational trail between Bennett Bridge and Peachland is significantly closer to being realized, thanks to the opening of Goats Peak Regional Park last week.

The new 52-hectare regional park provides outstanding views and protects a sizable portion of ecologically significant lands close to existing and potential residential areas.

The park is located along Seclusion Bay Road, off Highway 97 in West Kelowna.

“Opening Goats Peak fulfills one of the important environmental areas

identified by the regional board in our strategic priorities for this term,” RDCO chair Gail Given said at the opening event.

“The main park access and summit trails allow residents to learn about and connect with nature while increasing the number of hectares of regional parks now available for use. It’s an exciting opportunity to expand our interpretation program and raise even more awareness about the importance of the animals and plants that live on these lands to the Okanagan People.”

“Goats Peak is a significant area to the syilx Okanagan people. It’s a place of deep spirituality, ceremony and celebration; rich with animals,

plants and medicines to support our people,” said now former Westbank First Nation Chief Roxanne Lindley. “WFN worked closely with RDCO to ensure the focus was as much on protection as it was on becoming a public space. Opening it up means we all take responsibility to ensure its health remains in-tact for future generations.”

The regional district purchased the Goats Peak property for $5 million back in September 2014.

Since then the RDCO has worked on the development of a management plan for the park and in the past year the first two trails and interpretive amenities and signage were designed and con-

structed.

The 1.3-kilometre Big Sagebrush trail is the main access to the park and links to a viewpoint, while the 1.2-kilome-

tre Mountain Goat trail climbs over 200 metres to a summit vista.

Do you really need to drive a vehicle?

JOANNE LAYH I have an on again off again relationship with vehicles.

Like most people, I got my learner’s license at 15 and a regular driver’s license at 16. And like a lot of people, I got my first car when I was 16. It was a 1978 Ford Granada. I turned 16 in 1990, so it wasn’t the coolest car in the high school parking lot, but it got me around.

I’ve had a string of other vehicles since then, mostly because my job required I have one, or because I was living in Saskatchewan and didn’t want to wait in -40C weather for a bus that may or may not turn up.

But there were a few times when I didn’t have a car and got around fine. When I lived in downtown Calgary the C-Train conveniently went just about anywhere I wanted to go. The transit service in Regina isn’t great, but there was a time when I lived and worked downtown and could make my commute on foot in less than ten minutes. I also lived in central Dublin for a while, which had a decent network of trams and trains and was also very walkable.

Of course, here in the Okanagan we don’t have a big enough population to support the kind of transit infrastructure you find in bigger centres. That’s why when I moved back here recently, I didn’t consider public transportation as an option.

Before I left here four and a half years ago to go to a sister newspaper in Edmonton, Peachland didn’t have a taxi service and I was commuting here from Kelowna. Once when my car was in the shop, I had to take the bus from Glenmore to Peachland and it took at least two hours. I have to say, it wasn’t great.

But fast forward to this year and things are a bit different.

About a month ago I was driving to work when the timing belt went and that was the end of my car.

I’d just spent close to $1,500 on repairs to get my car inspection-ready so the timing couldn’t have been worse.

I decided to give public transit a chance and a month on, I have to say I couldn’t be happier.

The bus from West Kelowna drops me off just before I need to be at work and picks me up a little while after I finish.

The 97 route gets me efficiently into Kelowna when I want to go shopping, and there is a new link to Penticton that just started this month (although Peachland residents wanting to use it will have to get on in West Kelowna).

Sure, the serious lack of sidewalks around here is a problem and public transit isn’t an option for everyone (hello Trepanier and Ponderosa residents), but for some people it can work.

OPINION

Resident says moose populations are currently abundant in the area I have just caught up with the past issues of the Peachland View and the letters to the editor from the Aug. 23 and Sept. 2 issues, which made me shake my head.

I have spoken to several hunters in the area and they have assured me that the moose are there and they have had no trouble bagging their limit. Plus, I have seen moose in the area and even taken pictures of them.

And then there is the Cariboo comment. Cariboo are as common as elephants and camels in the interior, so I guess they are saying that logging has made them extinct as well. Really let’s get our facts before we start pointing fingers at people that are a very important part of our economy. Just a thought.

Linda Beck, Peachland

Bring back the scarecrows that made Peachland unique in autumn As a citizen of Peachland and a community bus driver, I wanted to share the feedback I receive from Peachland residents.

Many of us are sad to see the scarecrows gone.

It is a travesty that the joy of the scarecrows brought the town of Peachland is no longer, due to others’ idiosyncrasies.

Hundreds of us would love to see them back this year for all to enjoy.

Is it not possible that this well thought of competition could come back to bring the smiles of children?

A suggestion: business owners could have them out during the day and brought inside in the evening.

I believe, along with many, that the fall scarecrows made our small town of Peachland unique!

We all miss looking at the originally hand-crafted MAD HATTER Mad Hatter scarecrows business owners worked so hard on.

Outrage over MOTI options presented to citizens It is becoming exceedingly difficult to contain my anger and dismay at the remaining short-sighted proposals by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) for Peachland transportation solutions.

MOTI’s proposals for improvements of the existing Hwy 97 corridor in three segments over three or more years will create the most disruptive process imaginable, not only to our community but also to the thousands of commuters rushing through Peachland on a daily basis to go to and from work.

What MOTI is proposing is not a bypass.

Ultimately, the inevitable solution must be a complete bypass as proposed by the Highway 97 Task Force of several years ago.

To dissect and eviscerate the long narrow corridor for its entire length, as is currently proposed by MOTI, is totally unacceptable.

A bypass has been proposed by thinking people since the 80s and the foot

dragging and indecision has created stagnation in our town for years, as is evident by the lack of development south of Princeton Ave. To disrupt any remaining farmland and existing neighbourhoods is not necessary.

For the Okanagan manager Steve Sirett to suggest that the future of Hwy 97 is not at all linked to the decision about Peachland’s route is ridiculous.

Surely the who transportation corridor has to be considered.

West Kelowna’s traffic problems are even more dire than those of Peachland.

Never will it be less costly than now to build a bypass. For Steve Sirett to suggest delaying the completion of this whole project until 2040 is completely out of touch given the rapid growth in the area. It is time to stop this endless, useless bureaucracy and get on with it.

The advantages of a bypass would be: • Minimal disruptions to people’s daily lives;

DAN ASHTON R0051463806 PV06

• No diminishing of property values; • Minimize requirements to buy out people’s property and relocating people; • Gives us our community back; • The certainty would create immediate development in the areas now in limbo, which would increase Peachland’s tax base; • A lot of heavy traffic would discontinue using Princeton Ave., making it more enjoyable and safer for everyone, including school children; • Reducing speed limits and enforcing it on the existing 97 route would ensure that the bypass

would be more heavily used, thereby calming the whole community; • Reduce or eliminate the destruction of the existing farmland we have; and • It would delay the need for improvement and more traffic lights on the existing route for years to come.

The audacity of MOTI to present these unacceptable proposals to the citizens of Peachland is an insult and demonstrates the direct lack of our involvement in their whole process.

The premise that MOTI will do what they want and we must accept is not a foregone conclusion.

COMMENTARY AND OPINION

Additional secondary school on Westside is number one on board’s wish list MOYRA BAXTER

SCHOOL TRUSTEE, ZONE II CHAIRPERSON, BOARD OF EDUCATION CENTRAL OKANAGAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Well here we are, almost through September - the first month of the school year. Here in the Central Okanagan we have registered about 450 more students than this time last year. This growth has caused more space issues in some area of the school district and the Board of Education continues to lobby the provincial government for new and

expanded schools.

Number one on the board’s wish list is a second secondary school on the Westside. Finding land is proving difficult, but a solution must be found

to the number of portables at Mount Boucherie Secondary and to the problem of not being able to accommodate all our Grade 9 students at MBSS. Currently, Constable Neil Bruce Middle School is a Grade 6 – 8 school, while Glenrosa Middle serves Grades 6 - 9.

The plan is to have all Westside Grade 9 students in secondary school as soon as possible.

Here in Peachland, the number of students remains quite static and Peachland Elementary remains one of the smaller schools in the district.

I am sometimes asked if there is a chance it will close, and I can categorically state that the chances of that happening remain extremely remote.

Not only is there no space to accommodate our students in other elementary schools on the Westside, but we remain optimistic that the numbers will never decrease to a level that makes a school unviable.

While school startup has gone smoothly in our schools, and students should be settled in their classrooms and, for older students, have all their courses chosen, it would

be remiss of me not to mention the problems we have experienced with the allocation of bus seats for some students. This has caused anxiety for families who may be still on the waiting list.

I, along with my fellow trustees, sincerely apologize for the uncertainty caused by changes to routes and bus stops and for the lack of communication with families.

We are committed to do better in the future.

We will be undertaking a comprehensive Transportation Review, with many opportunities for

input from the public on how we can offer a bus system which meets the needs of as many students as possible.

Each year, the school district has a theme which we all focus on.

Last year it was “joy” and this school year it’s “gratitude”.

This serves as a reminder of how grateful the Board of Education is for everyone involved in supporting our approximately 23,000 students. That’s all our employees, our parents and families, and the community at large.

Thank you.

“Refine it where you mine it” is missing from the pipeline debate In all of the Trans Mountain Pipeline debate the inherent inefficiency of transporting unrefined Alberta bitumen to the US and offshore nations for refinement seems to be lost.

Moving bitumen, whether by rail, pipeline or marine vessels means moving extra weight and volume.

Bitumen contains waste products such as sand, sulfur and toxins. It must be diluted with condensates to create diluted bitumen (dilbit) to become a flowable liquid. But this increases volume by 30 per cent or more, necessitating larger, more dangerous pipelines. And most condensates must be transported to bitumen mines for the dilution process, adding more inefficiencies and costs.

Does this make economic sense?

Why not refine oil sand resources where they are mined? We overcome many of the inefficiencies mentioned. We increase employment opportunities in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Northern B.C. We extract more tax revenue from thousands of wellpaid Canadians engaged in the refining process.

Piping dilbit offers few long term employment opportunities for western Canadians.

Western Canada is suffering from a lack of Canadian refining capacity. Much of BC’s diesel and gasoline comes from Washington state. Western Canada should ensure that it is not dependent on the US for these products. Who knows what the Trump administration has

in store for us.

And there is an environmental bonus to “refine it where we mine it!”

Moving refined petroleum products through pipelines and marine transport is far less risky than moving dilbit.

Refined products are more volatile and more disbursable. We know very

2019 FEDERAL ELECTION This week’s question posed to Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola candidates*:

The discussion around pipelines, oil and gas and renewable energy sources can be a divisive one; how do you plan to move the country’s energy future forward without further dividing Canadians?

Allan Duncan

Mary Ann Murphy Liberal Party of Canada

The oil and gas industry has been for decades a major source of employment, government revenues and economic well-being for all of Canada. It should be allowed to grow, export its products, and bring prosperity to our country. In order to promote pipelines a Peoples Party of Canada (PPC) government will repeal Bill C-48 and C-69 that have constrained pipelines and contributed to a major reduction in capital investments in the oil and gas industry.

In the 21st century, you need a plan for the environment, and a plan for the economy. TMX solves a core economic challenge facing our country: Currently, 99 of our conventional energy resources are sold to one market – the United States – at a large discount. We need to diversify our markets in order to get a fair price for the products we sell. It does not make environmental or economic sense to sell any resource at a discount. We will use the extra earnings to fund a clean energy transition with all deliberate speed, including re-training and support for workers, developing Indigenous partnerships, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, phasing out coal, and investing in green energy infrastructure. Every dollar the federal government earns from TMX will be invested to help fund initiatives like electrification projects, investments in renewable resources, and efforts to help Indigenous communities transition off diesel power. The Liberal government’s Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund has entered into agreements with 9 provinces and territories and invested in 44 programs totalling over $819 million that will reduce emissions and create clean growth.

People’s Party of Canada

Canadian overdependence on the American market also costs the Canadian economy. Our lack of pipelines is causing a loss in economic potential. We will find a private buyer for Trans Mountain in an effort to open markets and return the $4.5 billion spent on it to Canadians. Along with economic opportunity, Canadians want to enjoy clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. Technology for cleaner and efficient energies are best developed in an open market where innovation is fostered. Canadians enthusiastic about such developments in clean energy can participate at their discretion to promote their choices through market involvement.

Encouragement of Canadian ingenuity in energy technology opens up more positive possibilities.

Dan Albas

Conservative Party of Canada

Robert Mellalieu

My life’s work has been to foster a more respectful relationship to our natural world. Our party wants to put forward a Green New Deal, which will invest billions of dollars and create thousands of jobs while protecting mother earth.

Leadership means making difficult decisions. Despite what Mr. Trudeau says pipelines and the environment do not go “hand in hand”. The Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion will add 590,000 barrels a day. The upstream GHG emissions are estimated to be 14-17 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year with the expansion. However, the project will also create 15,000 new jobs during construction and generates $4.5 billion in federal and provincial government revenues. There are also community agreements that will benefit many rural communities in my riding. For these reasons both the Liberals and the Conservatives support the TMX project but in my view we must recognize it is a trade-off.

These issues (there are others) are divisive because that is the way of politics now. It is the strategy of the other parties to divide Canadians and inflame the rhetoric against the “other guys”. The Green Party will listen to any idea or policy – we don’t care where comes from.

We strive for consensus based on evidence. We do not pander to Canadians.

Working for a greener tomorrow does not have to be a divisive issue. All Canadians care about clean water, clear air, a clean planet, and a sustainable economy.

It is not an either/or and the New Democratic Party has consistently rejected this false dichotomy. Canada has awesome green technology potential; we are rich in resources and we are an industrious people. Let’s all work together towards a sustainable, prosperous future. We do not have the luxury of time. Our children and grandchildren are counting on us to act.

Because it is a trade-off we also have to find other workable solutions that do effectively reduce our GHG emissions. A Conservative government believes in using technology over taxation to find solutions. As an example, a Penticton electrical engineering firm working on a power project at a mine site in Indonesia came up with an idea that saved the mine operator $1 million a year in diesel power generation and took the equivalent of the emissions of 22,000 vehicles a year off the road. We need more technology and not carbon taxation.

Green Party of Canada

In Canada, we have many opportunities for clean green energy that are already developed and in use throughout the world. Canada has not embraced the new technology because of the undue influence of the big oil companies on politicians and political parties. The Green Party does not accept donations from corporations – only individuals. This policy ensures that we are not swayed by money.

We must make a desperate decision - continue the way we are and move towards an economic and ecological collapse or move forward to clean green energy. It comes down to this - whom are you voting for? Yourself or your children?

FOR SENIORS

Seniors can give safely and successfully People often gain a greater sense of purpose and happiness after giving to charity, and seniors are no exception. According to a study from Merrill Lynch and Age Wave, today’s retirees are almost six times more likely to define success by generosity than their wealth when compared to seniors of yesteryear.

Seniors’ eagerness to give makes them prime targets for charity fraud. Giving in retirement while avoiding fraudsters is challenging, but seniors who recognize their vulnerability can reduce their risk of falling victim to criminals.

Research before giving To ensure a donation will be spent in the way it was intended, seniors should thoroughly research organizations before becoming donors. One of the first places to start is Charity Navigator. A 501(c)(3) public charity, Charity Navigator has been steering the public in the right direction regarding charities since 2001. Their analysts research thousands of financial documents, rating charities on accountability, transparency and performance, among other criteria.

Individuals also can research charities by getting recommendations from friends and family, as well as learning about organizations through the Better Business Bureau. Online rankings and scam alerts can help with decision-making as well.

Don’t feel pressured High-quality charities do not need to resort to pressure tactics to solicit funds.

Similarly, individuals should not feel put upon to donate because of gifts received in the mail. Such gifts commonly include note pads and return address labels. Seniors should make donations based on how they feel about a particular charity and the difference they want to make.

GRAHAM FUNERAL HOMES R0011737609 OL06

Be aware of sound-alike charities Some fraudulent charities like to piggyback on the success of reputable organizations. They may operate under names that sound similar to legitimate charities or create business logos that are nearly identical. People should not be fooled by these tactics.

Explore all the ways to give Seniors can give back in various ways. Charitable gift annuities and charitable trusts are great ways to give, and seniors can even donate senior discounts through a giving site called Boomerang Giving. Seniors also can volunteer their time.

Donate directly Contact a charity directly to donate instead of using a middle person or unconfirmed entity on the phone. Use a credit card or check so there is a receipt of the donation.

Opt out of information sharing Donating to one charity should not result in a deluge of solicitations from others. Individuals should tell a charity they do not want their personal information shared. This also helps to reduce the risk of being contacted by bogus charities.

Seniors who give to charity reap many rewards. But safeguarding one’s finances is of paramount importance when donating to charity.

Discover Peachland’s local trails at Trails Awareness Day event for their trails at 9:30 a.m. sharp.

Dogs (on leash) are welcome on the Fur Brigade and Bedford Lookout trails only.

This event will happen rain or shine. Participants must dress for the weather, including sturdy footwear, and carry water. All participants hike at their own risk.

Below is a summary of the four hikes:

Gladstone Trail: • Moderate/Difficult • 7km loop • 300m elevation • 2 hours

Peachland’s newest trail named after the old Gladstone mine. Well maintained single track.

Good views along the way. Please, no dogs.

VIEW FROM THE summit of the Fur Brigade Trail.

Peachland’s trails offer some of the region’s most spectacular views ranging from Kelowna to Naramata.

However, many of our trails remain undiscovered by locals and visitors alike. Trails Awareness Day, Sun., Oct. 13 is the key to discovering what you’ve been missing.

Hosted by Peachland’s Tourism Promotion Committee, the Trails Awareness Day event provides experienced volunteer guides to lead hikers on one of four local trails, each hike lasting about two hours.

Many trails follow in the

footsteps of First Nations peoples, early settlers, fur traders and prospectors.

The Fur Brigade Trail follows the ancient path of First Nations peoples, later used by Hudson’s Bay Co. fur traders.

The Bedford trail network, named after the patriarch of a prominent local family, offers unique views from its lookout.

The Pincushion Trail has been popular with locals and visitors for many years. Pincushion mountain was named by early settlers who likened the peak, with its newly burned trees, to a pincushion.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT NEEDED

PEACHLAND BAPTIST CHURCH

Joan Patricia Menzies started on her final journey September 10, 2019 at 90 years of age. Her husband, Richard, went before her in May to wait for his wife to join him,( as was common in the early days in the military).

Joan was born on March 25, 1929, in Los Angeles, California; the youngest of 5 children. She married her soul mate, Richard, had three daughters and together for 70+ years they enjoyed a long and wonderful life of family, fun, music, adventure and travel. She was strong in her faith in God and her gentle spirit was at peace, ready to spend the rest of eternity with Richard and her Saviour, Jesus. She has left us a legacy of love; courage to face life looking for the “silver lining in every cloud”; and strength to stand firm for what matters. She taught us what is really important in life - to love unconditionally and to support and care for family and friends in our lives.

Joan was predeceased by her loving husband, Richard; her infant grandson, Richard; her sisters, Kathleen and Mary; her brother, Geoff. She leaves behind her older sister, Bonny; her 3 daughters, 7 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and 9 greatgreat grandchildren – (too numerous to mention each by name but you know who you are!); many nephews, nieces, and cousins.

In Proverbs 31: 28 it reads: “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” We do and so did Dad! A memorial service will be held October 12, 2019 at Peachland Baptist Church at 1:30 PM , with reception to follow at Peachland Recreation Centre.

THE MURDER MYSTERY

cast (from back left): Rocky Roxborough-Smith, Rick Tench, Rod MacIntosh, Dave Collins, Nick Lloyd, Madeleine Nixon, Moyra Baxter, Yvonne Moritz and Chad Coutts.

WENDY HOWARD

ROTARY CLUB OF PEACHLAND Planning and rehearsals for our upcoming Merlot, Meritage and Murder murder mystery event are in the final stages. The murder mystery evenings promise to be filled with uproarious hilarity and well worth taking in. The premise of the murder mystery is to utilize local citizenry talent and provide entertainment that the audience can get involved in by solving who the murderer might be.

Dinner will be prepared by the Peachland branch of the KGH Auxiliary and all monies raised support Rotary youth programs and scholarships. The money raised from clue sales will be going towards polio plus.

Our inbound exchange student arrived here at the end of August all the way from Spain. A welcoming committee greeted her at the airport and brought her safely to her first host home, right here in Peachland. Amparo is attending Mount Boucherie Secondary School, learning about the Canadian school system and is immersing herself in Canadian culture with her number one priority being to improve her English.

If you would like to find out more about how your child or grandchild could experience the adventure of a lifetime, come out to our exchange student information night on Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. at Mount Boucherie Secondary School.

The Rotary Club of Peachland is again looking forward to continuing with the Starfish Pack Program for the 2019/2020

school year. The program allows Peachland Elementary School staff to identify children in need and then their parents are contacted for permission to receive a backpack.

Backpacks are filled by Rotary and community volunteers each week with two breakfasts, lunches or dinners along with fresh fruit and snacks. When there is a long weekend the pack includes three meals instead of two. The backpacks are then delivered to the school each Thursday morning for distribution to participants on the Friday.

Save On Foods in Westbank is again partnering with the Peachland Rotary Club to provide the food for the backpacks at cost and the Boys and Girls Club of Peachland will continue to issue tax receipts and act as administration for the program.

The cost to support one child for the school year is $525.

Peachland Rotary is very thankful to the many local businesses, clubs and individuals as well as St. Margaret’s Anglican Church and the United Church of Peachland for their contributions and support.

Donations can be made through the Boys and Girls Club of Peachland, who will issue tax receipts. For further information on the Starfish Pack Program contact Wendy at wehow@telus.net.

October is the month when World Po-

lio Day occurs. Watch for club members and events related to polio this month.

This vicious disease still persists in Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan, aided and abetted by ignorance, fear and suspicion.

Rotary is committed to eradicate this disease from humanity and will continue to fight it to the bitter end. You can help by donating, by spreading awareness and combating ignorance.

In the wake of international disasters caused by Hurricane Dorian, ShelterBox is again in the forefront providing relief and assistance as it is able. You can contact ShelterBox at support@shelterboxcanada.org or 1-855-875-4661.

On Thursday we presented a cheque in the amount of $2,000 to Darlene Haslock, the newly appointed manager of JoeAnna’s House. With Rotary District 5060 and a Kelowna philanthropist matching some of our donations in the past, our club has contributed over $22,000 towards this much needed project in Kelowna. JoeAnna’s House will offer accommodation for out-of-town family members who have a family member receiving medical care at Kelowna General Hospital.

There is so much more, but never enough space.

If you’d like to find out more, visit peachlandrotary.com or, better yet, join us at the Gasthaus at 11:45 a.m. on Thursdays, where we meet for lunch.
