Sharon Devlin isn’t interested in noise barriers or asphalt, or frontage and easements, or tourism dollars, or even Bambi, not really. She walked into the Peachland Community Centre Tuesday afternoon, June 21 clutching a few documents, among them a weathered and yellowing copy of the Peachland View, which led with a hard news story that week: the March 11, 2005 collision that killed her mom, Diana Devlin. She turns to a page with a black-and-white picture of the aftermath of the “horrific” headon collision on Highway 97 near Brent Road. Devlin said she drove past the spot on the way from her Penticton home to get to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s (MOTI) open house, where officials shared what they had learned so far about Peachland’s relationship to the highway and how that fits into the wider Okanagan Lake Second Crossing project. Most of the dozens of people who packed the parking lot and passed through the information gauntlet inside were there with an opinion on whether the ministry should widen Highway 97 in-place or build a new bypass that would eventually connect with the second crossing. Not Devlin. “To me, it doesn’t matter as long as they make the road safe,” she said. “People are worried about wildlife, but I’m worried about people.” To the chagrin of some who were hoping to harvest more specific information from MOTI personnel like senior project director Murray Tekano, the ministry has not decided whether 97 will be widened or fitted with a new bypass. Best options for either scenario will be released in the fall, “before December” as Tekano See OKANAGAN on page 7

Vicki bought it from Donna and Bruce Jackson, who were forced to sell due to failing health after 10 years of ownership. The Smiths and their amigos have replaced the roofs on several of the cabins with bright red steel, and have resided them with a rustic log-cabin look. The outhouses have also been rebuilt, two cabins are wheelchair accessible (as is a washroom) and the shower building will be born anew in 2017. That said, the name of the game is “roughing it” up there: no potable water, no heat or hydro (there are woodstoves), no bedding to speak of in the cabins (there are also 14 campsites), and no Interac pay point. Boats and kayaks for adults and kids are also available for rental and for a small fee non-visitors can use the boat launch (10 HP motors max, no ice fishing). There is plenty of work left, but the Smiths aren’t going anywhere. “This is the 6/49 dream, but it’s way, more work,” Vicki laughed. “The dream might be owning it and being able to afford a full-time manager, but I’d never give this place up.” Adds Ed: “Neither would I.” Visit www.headwatersbc.com, email headwatersbc@yahoo. ca, or phone 250-8644486 to learn more.

Timing is everything to the people who run our nation’s food banks. For Judy Bedford, in her 32nd year as volunteer director of the Peachland Food Bank, realtor Troy Fischer’s donation of $2,250 and a pile of non-perishables the timing couldn’t be better. The food bank, which has seen its usage jump 50 per cent from 40 families each month to 60 in just a year, is entering its thin months, running out now of the massive holiday season donations it receives in December and rations for the first half of the year. It’s the third annual contribution he’s made.

Speed limit not doing the job

Dear Editor: I think it’s time we considered changing the speed limit on Beach Ave. to 25 km/h as the current 30 km/h is not doing the job. Motorcycle heroes seem to be the main offenders being somehow compelled to impress everyone with excessive noise and excessive speed.

Perhaps a few electronic speed monitors strategically placed could improve things a little, as could stepped-up enforcement, which seems to be non-existent. John Douglas Gardner, Peachland

Re: B&Bs on Beach Dear Editor: There is no place in the world like Peachland and Beach Avenue plays a big role in what makes our town so special! We should be taking full advantage of what we have without losing sight of what we likely can’t have. It doesn’t seem particularly reasonable that a big, fancy hotel downtown is going to happen anytime soon when tourist season only lasts about 100 days each year. Tourists can, could, will and do stay in B&Bs on Beach Avenue, though, and we could do this so much better if we put a little more thought into it. Imagine if town council and administrators did more to encourage

B&Bs on Beach Avenue and way more to discourage loud, speeding motorcycles there. There would be more tourist dollars spent in our lovely town. Tourists staying at B&Bs spend $200-$300 a day; the guys riding the loud Harleys spend $15 a visit (read: two or three beers). You’ve got to wonder why we aren’t focusing more on the big spenders and trying harder to get rid of those things that keep the big spenders away, like loud, speeding bikes! Erik Takanen, Peachland

The right to know Dear Editor: I have yet to meet any Peachlander that does not have the best interests of the effective development of Peachland as a main concern. When the MOTI first introduced the idea of widening Highway 97 through Peachland in 1985, 31 years ago, 400 residents signed a petition against the idea. In the ensuing years of MOTI inaction, most every government MLA, mayor and council, and chambers of commerce supported no widening, and the residents concern activated the formation of the bypass society, with a membership now of almost 900 people offering bypass alternative suggestions. Today much conjecture is taking a “we-they” attitude amongst some residents unfortunately, and most without knowing the facts from the highway ministry. More than 75 per cent of Peachland’s population lives west of the highway and have to cross the highway to get downtown, to the beach,

community centre, tennis courts and skateboard park and rely on being able to get to airports, bus stations, labs, hospitals etc. They have a “right to know” the answers to the following before any objective decision can be made by the residents. They have the right to know what will happen to the following: Entries and exits to Brent Road, Renfrew Road, Trepanier Road, Huston Road, Buchanan Road, Antlers Beach Regional Park and mobile home park, Hardy Falls/Deep Creek, Edgewater mobile home park, the former Red Lion restaurant and many private roads/driveways off the highway, the bridge over Deep Creek, and the bridge and entry from Todd Road. To date, noises have been made about closures, overpasses, underpasses, parallel entry/exit roads and on and on. When residents are presented with these concrete facts, then and only then can there be any positive response from residents. Until then, only wasted rhetoric will be heard. Bruce Letendre, former Antlers Beach resident, Peachland

Thanks to visitor centre staff Dear Editor: During the recent visit of the National Model Railway Association to our Peachland Museum I sought out the assistance of the staff of the Peachland Visitor Centre. What a real blessing they were. Despite very short notice, a consistently changing schedule and an ever-increasing number of prospective visitors, Joey Byatt and her enthusiastic and ever-smiling team

pulled it off with flying colours. So well did they do their work that I met some of those people in Salmon Arm later in the week and two families are now planning to drop in and stay longer on their way back to Washington. Well done to all: mission accomplished. Thank you, Dave Winter, Central Okanagan Railway Company

Much ado about nothing? Dear Editor: A recent letter to the editor (“Cousins Park sign row much ado about nothing,” June 10) stated this, but I contend that any changes to a sign and honour given to the Cousins family, naming the area Cousins Park, attended and dedicated in 1981 by no less than Premier Bill Bennett, is an unacceptable alteration and dilution of an honour bestowed by the citizens of this community, the provincial government, not to mention the federal government for wartime service and community service. Nine brothers of the family formed a baseball team and of those, five served with one sister in the armed forces in the Second World War. “Lest we forget.” Maybe many readers don’t know the story of the naming of the park, but they do now. The attached pictures make it even clearer. The dedication picture was taken in June 1981, 35 years ago. The military picture was taken at the funeral of their mother in 1943. You decide what’s important! Richard Smith, Peachland

In praise of Peachland Pharmacy

Dear Editor: In the past I have written in praise of our post office staff in Peachland who are second to none in their “bonhomie” and their unwavering assistance in getting mail to its destination in the quickest and most economical way possible. I am now writing in praise of Peachland Pharmacy. My husband has Alzheimer’s disease. Yesterday I brought him home after a week’s stay in the Cottonwoods care facility in Kelowna. While he was there his doctor had ordered new drugs for him, so I dropped into Peachland Pharmacy on our way home to pick them up. They remembered that I had just purchased a repeat of his old drugs before he was admitted to Cottonwoods and said if I would bring them into the pharmacy they would replace them with the new prescriptions at no cost. That, in itself, was commendable. Anyway, I said I was taking Bob home and didn’t want to leave him in case he wandered (he’d been doing that a lot when he was in Cottonwoods) Joanne

said she would drive to our home and collect his old drugs later in the day. Steve brought around his new, bubble-wrapped prescriptions on his way home from work. The following day Lorraine came to take care of some of the prescriptions. While she was with me Bob got out of bed and collapsed in the hallway. Without missing a beat, Lorraine helped me to get him back into bed. The pharmacy has set up an account to cover his prescriptions on my credit card. They will also deliver his prescriptions on a monthly basis. Where else do you get this kind of service, and very heartfelt TLC along with it? Long live Wes and his team and all the wonderful professionals of Peachland! Margaret Wells, Peachland

ABOUT 125 OF the 700-plus delegates at the Selkirk Express 2016 model railroad convention in Salmon Arm opted to add the Peachland Museum to a field trip to Summerland June 16.

No toying around: Salmon Arm conventioneers sidetrack to Peachland CRAIG GILBERT EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

Passengers at the annual Selkirk Express held this year in Salmon Arm were so moved to hear about the model railroad setup at the Peachland Museum

they traded in their tickets and took a mid-course detour to check it out June 16. More than 700 enthusiasts descended on the interior city for the convention June 15-19 and when word of one of Peachland’s hidden

gems reached them, about 125 decided to add it to a milk run through other highlights in the region including the historic O’Keefe ranch and some of the wineries of Summerland. They were shuttled here in groups of about 40 and

went home (eventually) with individual Peachland swag bags assembled by the Peachland Visitor Centre. “I was pleasantly surprised,” Burnaby’s Ken Martin said after snapping a few photos of the Central Okanagan Railway Company’s hyper-detailed setup. “It’s always

a challenge to put a layout into a building, and they have been able to use the space to efficiency.” Martin said his own railroad layout is in the planning stages. “The ideal is to plan the layout and put the building in around it,” he laughed. As president of the CORC, Paul Yeo was

bestowed the honour of holding the museum door for the visitors. He couldn’t say enough nice things about the Peachland Visitor Centre: they kicked into another gear to welcome the town’s newest ambassadors, who as members of the Pacific Northwest Region of the National Model

On Saturday, June 18, the Sowers and Growers Garden Club held the sixth annual Peachland Rose Show and Tea in the community centre. Through the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers, the event was considered an outstanding success

by those in attendance. Despite the poor growing conditions, almost 170 floral entries were on display. Mayor Cindy Fortin, assisted by the Rose Show judges, Danielle and Malcolm Scott presented the trophies and ribbons to the winning recipients.

Okanagan transport study sees 7,700 people in Peachland by 2040

CRAIG GILBERT

SHARON DEVLIN HOLDS a copy of the March, 2005

Peachland; just one-third of traffic generated from within the town travels to another destination in town, and only about 10 per cent of traffic from outside aims to land here. The district could theoretically grow out to a population of 27,000 people, but for the purpose of the study, the consultants who wrote it projected a population of 7,700 in 2040.

Traffic growth has been slow, with the 15,000 vehicles per day counted south of Drought Hill in 2006 growing to just 18,000 in 2013. Still, the challenge of accessing Highway 97 from uncontrolled intersections such as Buchanan, Huston and Trepanier Bench roads will only become riskier by 2040 according to the MOTI study. None of Peach-

land’s intersections have a higher collision rate than the provincial average but according to the study the collisions “tend to be severe.” As traffic increases toward 2040, the challenge of merging in Peachland “may lead to risk-taking as drivers attempt to cross or make turns onto the highway.”

This is what worries Devlin. Along with that copy of the View, she carried half a dozen printouts of other stories about other collisions with identical or similar circumstances to the one that took her mom: a vehicle crossing the centre line on 97 and causing a fatal head-on collision. She reads the dates

aloud like a roll call: June 4, 2015, September 1, 2015, February 3 and 15, 2016. “A bypass makes the most sense to me, it would mean less traffic in the city,” she said. “I’m here just for that reason. If anything good comes of my mom’s death, just make that highway safer.”

issue of the Peachland View that covered the collision on Highway 97 that took her mom’s life. Diana Devlin was one of two people killed in collisions here that year. Continued from front

said, for further review by members of the public. “This is a community that really is interested in what its future is and of course is very interested in the highway,” he said of the turnout, which in terms of government open houses approached rock concert status. “It reinforces why this process is important. Everyone gets good information that helps them understand the issues, and it helps us understand the issues, too, so we’re not working with half the story.”

According to the report, which is available online at www.gov.bc.ca/ peachlandtransportationstudy, traffic in the town of 5,200 peaks at 10 a.m., coinciding with the opening of shops and services. This is in stark contrast to the provincial average, which is shaped by the working population’s commutes to and from their job. In Peachland, where most residents are retired, traffic occurs later in the morning and earlier in the afternoon. The vast majority of traffic on Highway 97 is passing through

CANADA DAY Sing Along!

Wild World – Cat Stevens 1. Now, that I’ve lost everything to you You say you wanna start something new And it’s breakin’ my heart you’re leavin’, baby, I’m grievin’ But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world It’s hard to get by just upon a smile Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world I’ll always remember you like a child, girl 2. You know I’ve seen a lot of what the world can do And it’s breakin’ my heart in two Because I never wanna see you a sad, girl, don’t be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware, beware Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world t’s hard to get by just upon a smile Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl La, la, la Baby, I love you But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware, beware Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world It’s hard to get by just upon a smile Ooh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl

Here are the lyrics for the first four songs of the Canada Day concert - when you’re there, look for the handout that has all eight! Blowing in the Wind – Bob Dylan 1. How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they’re forever banned? The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind The answer is blowin’ in the wind. 2. Yes, how many years can a mountain exist Before it’s washed to the sea? Yes, how many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free? Yes, how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn’t see? The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind The answer is blowin’ in the wind. 3. Yes, how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison

Country Roads – John Denver

1. Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin’ a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin’ and you My brown eyed girl, You’re my brown eyed girl.

1. Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue ridge mountain, Shenandoah river, Life is old there, older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

2. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mine With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow’s wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My brown eyed girl, you’re my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da Just like that Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da

2. All my memories, gather round her Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye

3. So hard to find my way, Now that I’m all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I’m overcome thinking ‘bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl, you’re my brown eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (lying in the green grass) Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit) Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (sha la la la la la...) Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

4. I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me Radio reminds me of my home far away Driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home To the place I belong, West Virginia, Mountain mamma, take me home Country roads

(Chorus) 3. I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me Radio reminds me of my home far away Driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday (Chorus)

Country roads, take me home To the place I belong, West Virginia, Mountain mamma, take me home Country roads Take me home, country roads Take me home, country roads

Westbank Legion Fishing Derby brings 70+ anglers to Peachland

PHOTOS CRAIG GILBERT

MORE THAN 70 anglers of all ages and abilities descended on the camp in the hunt for the biggest trout the lake would yield during the 2016 edition of the annual get-together and fundraiser.

GAYLE MCLAUGHLIN POSES with the eight-ounce, 11 1/4-inch Rainbow trout she pulled out of Headwaters Lake during the Westbank Legion Fishing Derby June 18.

KATHY SPENCER’S BROTHER is a member of the Westbank branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, which allowed her to take part in the derby.

FORMER PILOT BOB HILL was at the Headwaters giving visitors a demo of one of his remote control planes.

Tournament concluded Sunday afternoon at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. The largest of its kind in Canada, the annual event is run by District 19 of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) and attracted 1,486 players, including six from Peachland (and six from Poland), and others from across Western Canada and the U.S. This photo captures only about half of the 320 card tables used.

Diggers win tournament It was a heck of a weekend: rained so much Saturday but it didn’t kill the amazing spirit of this league. Thankfully the sun came out on Sunday for the final games. It was a blast being a part of this season and I was blown away how every player on every team supported each other – win or lose – they stuck around all weekend to cheer on the other teams.

Another Rotary Year comes to an end! So: it’s time to hang up my boots and saddle and ride into the sunset! This has been a wonderful year in Rotary in so many ways, for me: beginning with an incredible response to the disaster in Nepal and ending with optimistic hopes for a renewed Fort MacMurray. So much has been terrible - but so much hope, optimism and care shine through. I guess that’s why Canadians are seen as wonderful people: they care, and they do something about it! Our major fundraiser on June 4th is now a distant memory of stress and anxiety and the euphoria of having, once again, pulled it off. Dancing began almost as soon as dinner ended – a succulent feast of roast beef and Yorkshire pud. Music was lively and obviously pleased our patrons. Bidding on our limited but oh so valuable Auction Items was brisk and fairly intense at times. The costumes – totally a surprise to us – were as varied as they were fantastic – from King Arthur and his Guinevere to our “barrer boy” MC. I believe that the Queen was also in attendance! Check the VIEW again! An incredible effort on the part of our small group of volunteers. Once again we raised a healthy sum of money to support our efforts in the Community and the world. Thank you all: without you it would not have been possible. Your generosity will ensure that we can continue to support orphans in Nairobi, the Seniors Bus Trip, the Bat Trail and of course, the Pier. Our Volcanes project will also continue to occupy our attention and attract our funding. Rotary International has a Foundation which can support international and local programmes, often doubling or tripling the dollars we raise in support of Sanitation and Health, Education, Water, and so on. We continue to fight the scourge of Polio with money donated by our members and to support ShelterBox. We are a small group who want to give back some of our good fortune to the world and to our community. Giving time is the easiest thing of all when you have a goal about which you feel passionate and which you know will change even one person’s life for the better. Rotary does that to people. It promotes passion. This year we have enjoyed the company of a beautiful, intelligent and enquiring young lady from Holland who has demonstrated, yet again, that our Rotary International Youth Exchange Programme is second to none, both in its security and in the quality of its young participants. We will miss Yaika when she returns to Holland, but we know that all she learned will continue to make the world a better place as she grows into her future. A fine young adult who had the privilege of enjoying Peachland and the Okanagan for an entire year. Tot ziens, Yaika! July sees the beginning of the 2016 series of Peace Concerts in Heritage Park and all the relaxed summer fun that permeates Peachland every year. The Rotary gang will be there under the Tent with pop to assuage your thirst - and the pink hat so that you can show your appreciation if you like, and help us support ShelterBox once again. Disasters just seem not to stop. On July 1st my presidency comes to an end, along with all other presidents in the world of Rotary and I fall into a new role, supporting my new president as she takes control into her capable hands. But my Rotary family will continue to be my focus - and in many ways, my strength - as I face the years ahead. Some boots! Some saddle!

1920 - 2016

After a long and very full life, Stella Marion Lindenbach (nee Flasza) passed away peacefully on June 13, 2016 in Beaumont, Alberta. She was born in Gimli, Manitoba on October 8, 1920. After spending her early years in Manitoba, she moved to Vancouver, B.C., in her early twenties. She spent the next 55 years living in B.C. and moved to Alberta in 2001. In 1948 she married Erwin William Lindenbach and they lived in Whalley. They had four children Michael and Alan born in New Westminster, Karen and Stephen born in Kitimat. In 1955 she moved to Kitimat, as Erwin had started work at the Alcan smelter there. She lived in Kitimat until 1973 when she moved to Peachland. This was her “Happy Place” where her and Dad enjoyed their orchard and extensive garden. After the move to Alberta, she loved her visits back to her home in Peachland and asked often to go for a few days to check on the property. After Erwin’s passing, she found the acreage in Peachland difficult to manage and moved to Beaumont. Place Beausejour/Chateau Vitaline, a senior’s residence, was her home until her passing. Over her 95 plus years she travelled to places all over the world and only weeks before she passed was asking to go “somewhere warm”. Her travels included a cross Canada trip to attend Expo ’67 in Montreal. She made a number of trips to Australia / New Zealand to visit Alan and Nancy. While in her eighties she did a tour of China and as a spry ninety year old she enjoyed a cruise to Mexico (with Shirley and Michael) as well as a cruise to Alaska. She spent a few weeks in Mexico with Karen and enjoyed people watching on the beach. At ninety three she went on a quick trip to Arizona with Michael and Stephen. She never lost her love of travelling to new destinations. She has now left on that final journey. She was ahead of her time in so many respects. Long before it was a global responsibility, Mom was the ultimate recycler. She had an organic garden, a couple of composting areas and recycled everything that she could. She reinforced this to each of us and to her grandchildren as well. She loved animals and especially dogs. We don’t remember a time when we didn’t own a dog or a cat (always named Mitzy or Tommy). She always had a pocket full of dog treats and all the dogs knew this was the treat lady! She is survived by her children, Michael (Shirley), Alan (Nancy), Karen (Barry) and Stephen; her grandchildren, Krystof (Sherry), Trystaen (Josh), Nicholas, Daelan, Katrina, Elyse, Kayla, and Tjyana; her great grandchildren, Genevyeve, Mychael, Clayton, Peyton and Beckham who loved her and so enjoyed their visits with her. To these little people, “Grammie” had rock star status. When they were younger, Mychael and Clayton were convinced she was a character from Star Wars. She was predeceased by her husband Erwin, her brothers Michael and Stanley and her sister Rosalia. We would like to thank all the staff at Chateau Vitaline, who kept her very comfortable and showered her with their love in her final days. Special thanks to Petra, Sandeep, Bev as well as her good friend Ina who visited daily. Although she was not able to say anything as she passed into the afterlife, we are sure she was using her signature farewell “Bye you guys. See you in the movies”. According to her wishes, she will be buried at Saints Cyril and Methodius Cemetery in Gimli, Manitoba. A memorial will be held at a later date.

People have many reasons for growing gardens, and some of the most popular gardens are plots designated for cultivating herbs and vegetables. Fresh produce at the ready is a great benefit of having a home garden, which also allows homeowners to exercise full control over which products to use to grow robust, healthy vegetables. Novice gardeners may not know where to begin when it comes to planting their first vegetable gardens, and such gardeners can benefit by starting small. You may want to begin by growing plants in containers so they are more manageable and can be moved as you discover which areas of your property provide the best growing condi-

tions. Begin with one or two types of vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers and certain squashes are popular starter plants, as they are relatively hardy. Select only a few plants so you are not overwhelmed with the level of care re-

Gardening pointers for novices

quired to maintain your garden. Some gardeners prefer to start plants from seeds, but this will require more time and a greater commitment with regard to maintenance and planting. When just starting out, experiment with small plants

that are established and already have a good root system. Consult with your local gardening centre for more suggestions, such as which soil amendments to use. Plants may require a certain soil pH that can be adjusted for optimal plant growth.

NEWS IN BRIEF

BC trails level up with new signage, GPS-enabled maps, ratings CONTRIBUTED The Regional District is making it easier for people to get out and enjoy trails through our Regional Parks. Seven of the parks now have designated trails marked with names and rating signs so that visitors can see a degree of difficulty on a particular trail. There are also trail profiles provided giving a visual snapshot of elevation changes and other features over the length of these designated trails. “In our Guide to Regional Parks, we’ve always provided a simple rating system for many of our outings in the ‘Take a Hike’ and ‘Explore Your Parks’ programs,” communications officer Bruce Smith said in a press release. “We’ve been gradually rolling out a uniform trail naming/ rating system along with trail profile information. So a visitor can determine before starting their hike, whether the trail experience will match or perhaps challenge their ability.” Green circles suggest a very easy or easy outing. Blue squares provide a more moderate experience, while black diamonds indicate a more difficult or very difficult trail over steep, variable terrain with more obstacles and little maintenance. Designated trails in Glen Canyon, Kalamoir, Rose Valley, Trepanier Creek Greenway, Johns Family Nature Conservancy, the Mission Creek Greenway and Mission Creek Regional Park all have trail name and rating signage in place. The ratings are based mainly on slope and distance. Trail ratings and profile information is available at information kiosks in these parks as well as for individual park webpages online www. regionaldistrict.com/ pickapark. They have created information pages to help explain the trail rating and profile system. In addition, all online park trail maps are GPS-enabled. That

means you can use your smartphone or tablet’s internal global positioning system to enhance your experience and navigate

parks and trails. “We’re also very excited about a unique relationship involving our Regional Parks staff and local First

Nations,” Smith said. “We’re also starting to install interpretive panels in these areas to further explain the cultural and histori-

cal significance of the name in order to raise awareness and provide some context for this important aspect of life in the Central

Okanagan.” With the excellent volunteers of CRIS – the Community Recreational Initiatives Society – the Regional

Parks system is open to people of all abilities. Contact CRIS www. adaptiveadventures.ca to join in on any Parks Services program.
