When it comes to recycling and garbage collection most of us seem to know what we can and can’t put into our blue bin, our green bin and our black bin--which is not to say we might not sneak a glass jar into one of them when no-one is looking, or get a brain fog while wondering what to do with a piece of bubble wrap.
However, survey information suggests that knowledge is one thing and behaviour another.
Bin content inspections carried periodically by the Regional District reveal a wide spectrum of compliance with the rules.
At one end is the spectrum is the person who carefully removes the paper from a tin of baked beans, washes out the can, drops it into their blue box and repeats that process for tomato soup, corned beef and all other qualifying metal containers.
Paper and cardboard are similarly prepped so that nothing

FRIDAY,
Highway 97 intersection improvement work to begin
Our plea in last week’s edition of Peachland Post regarding the need for a traffic light at Trepanier and Hwy 97 may have been heard.
The Province has announced in a media release that it will begin construction on Monday, September 22 at the three Highway 97 intersections in Peachland, that are part of promised safety improvements for the corridor.
According to the release, the Ministry of Transportation and Transit will upgrade the Highway 97 intersections with Trepanier Bench Road, Buchanan Road South and Buchanan Road North. The work will eventually result in

The District has requested that traffic delays and detours be as short as possible. Construction timelines and detour information are not yet available.
Construction is expected to be complete in May 2026.

Lazy days ahead
Lola the wonder dog and her goose scaring compatriots may have less work to do in the future.
Mayor Van Minsel announced at last Tuesday’s council meeting that the district has applied for a permit to cull geese.
The decision was made earlier at an in-camera meeting of council.
No mention was made of the proposed cull method or the proposed timeline for implementation.
In response to an enquiry from Peachland resident Joe Radovitch during council’s question period, Chief Administrative Officer Joe Creron said that he was not aware of any requests for the construction of a homeless shelter in Peachland. He added that if there was such a request he would be totally against it because of the lack of support services that would be needed.
A rumour about Peachland being the destination for a future homeless shelter has been circulating for several weeks.
Goose droppings at waterfront locations have long been a public concern and cause for complaint.

RCMP and West Kelowna in disagreement
By Keith Fielding Editor
There seems to be a wide divide between West Kelowna staff and RCMP brass regarding the status of plans to decentralize RCMP services in the Central Okanagan.
Jason Brolund, Fire Chief and General Manager of Protective Services for West Kelowna claims that the proposed decentralization of services to provide Lake Country, Kelowna and West Kelowna/ Peachland with separately managed RCMP services lacks a clear plan and leaves unanswered key questions regarding staffing levels, physical space, records management, resourcing of regional functions, and resolution of provincial under-funding of areas outside of city limits.
Responding to Brolund’s comments, Chief Supt. Shawna Baher, Southeast District Commander with the BC RCMP said: “It is unfortunate that West Kelowna has chosen to issue a media release, given the significant work done by many to date on the modernization plan.
She went on to note that municipal staff have been involved consistently in the planning process and that it is now at the implementation stage.
Nina Krieger, Minister of
Public Safety and Solicitor General, reinforced those comments, saying that “Significant work has been done to date on the modernization plan,” adding that “staff from my Ministry and the RCMP have been in regular and ongoing communication with the City of West Kelowna throughout the process over the past two years.”
Instead of municipal policing services being managed on a regional basis, the planned realignment will result in three detachment commanders: one for Peachland and West Kelowna, one for Kelowna and one for Lake Country - a structure designed to allow for an improved focus on the policing priorities of each community.
Darren Caul, Kelowna’s
Director of Community Safety noted that the four municipalities have been working “in lockstep” with the Public Safety and Solicitor General’s office to get the realignment sorted out and that the process is nearing completion.
While not commenting on whether Peachland shares West Kelowna’s concern that the re-organization lacks a clear plan, Mayor van Minsel said that Peachland has been represented in the process by senior staff.
A meeting with Minister Krieger to discuss West Kelowna’s concerns is scheduled to take place during the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Victoria this week.••
No, district staff have not been busy capturing and restraining inter-galactic aliens on Trepanier and Ponderosa. And no, these are not fire hydrants in disguise.
These are isolation valves otherwise known as “blow offs” installed during construction of the high pressure water main connecting the water treatment plant to the Cousins reservoir.
The taping-up is a temporary measure to prevent accidental use pending a permanent safety solution.

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT
Council’s wish list takes shape
By Keith Fielding
Provincial government ministers will be bombarded by requests from Peachland at the upcoming Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference later this month.
The full list of requests was announced following council’s Committee of the Whole meeting last Tuesday:
MINISTRY OF HOUSING & MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
Topic #1 – Discuss the need for a provincially-approved standardization program for streamlining permitting for modular homes; modular homes may
provide affordable solutions for smaller communities.
Topic #2 – Discuss ways to curb land speculation to accelerate housing delivery.
MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION & TRANSIT
Topic – Provincial support and funding for Highway 97 safety, highway upgrades and increased transit options.
MINISTRY OF JOBS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & INNOVATION
Topic #1 –Discuss potential partnerships to advance the New Monaco project in Peachland.

was purchased by CPR paddle wheelers.
There was such an abundance of Kokanee in both Deep Creek and Trepanier Creek that the town once had a small fish company that provided Kokanee and possibly the then abundant Kamloops Trout to the CPR paddle wheelers. This odd story was told by the old-timer Jim Clem-
ents, who also had for many years, in his possession a wooden box with the words ‘Peachland Fish Company’ stencilled on it. It seems that fish were caught commercially on a very small scale and sold to the CPR for use in the dining rooms of the lake sternwheelers.
Topic #2 – To encourage downtown revitalization, request the development of grant programs or development incentives for smaller communities such as property tax breaks or waiving development cost charges.
MINISTRY OF TOURISM ARTS, CULTURE & SPORT
Topic #1 - Encourage Ministry to identify funding streams to support local arts and culture initiatives.
Topic #2 – Seek provincial support to expand and upgrade recreational infrastructure, increase program capacity and
ensure equitable access.
MINISTRY OF FORESTS
Topic #1 – Seek increased funding for wildfire prevention, particularly proactive activities to reduce risk.
MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND & RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP
Topic #1 – Request legislation to protect watersheds to maintain water quality and quantity, and grant communities the authority to manage their watersheds.
Topic #2 – Urge the Province to collaborate with local governments and Indigenous communities

We encourage readers to submit letters to the editor on appropriate subjects. We reserve the right to edit letters for clarity, brevity and legality. Keep your submissions under 250 words and they are more likely to be published. Send your submissions to editor@peachlandpost.org
MARCHING ON
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has instructed its members to stop delivering unaddressed mail. Locally that edict means that readers will not find a copy of Peachland Post in their mail box.
However, we are determined to stand by our promise to readers and advertisers that our distribution will reach “every home, every business, every week.”
And that is what we are now ensuring through a reorganization of our delivery process. It has always been our practice to make copies of Peachland Post available to readers on our website: peachlandpost.org. That route to the paper remains as before. Also, we have always left copies of the paper at the

community centre and at restaurants and businesses on Beach Avenue as well as at IGA and other high traffic business areas. That practice is being continued with supplies being increased, monitored and stocked up as needed.
In addition we are making it as simple as possible for readers
to access the paper when they visit their mailbox. The paper won’t be in your mail box, but it may be adjacent, either as one of a bundle inside an abandoned newspaper box, or, if there is no such box, perhaps in a nearby container made for the purpose and stocked with supplies.
And finally, as an additional layer of distribution, some readers will find the paper delivered to their door by a volunteer.
Readers will know from previous messaging that our sustainability as a paper remains at risk without strong support from advertisers. That is why we have taken the steps we have to not only meet the needs of our readers, but also to re-assure advertisers that the paper will continue to reach
the hands (or in the case of website traffic, the eyes) of as many Peachland residents (all 6,500 of them) as was the case before failure of negotiations between Canada Post and its employees led to delivery disruption.
That goal is, we believe, being achieved through our revised delivery procedures and will continue to be achieved as long as advertising revenue and good will donations allow us to remain financially able to continue.
To that end, your support and encouragement are invaluable.
Keith Fielding is President of the Peachland Community Newspaper Society and editor of Peachland Post. He is also a former Peachland mayor and councillor.
Nest building Pikas love Peachland’s higher terrain
In August I went on a little jaunt over to the Bugaboos for some heli-hiking. Airplane, Brewster Bus, and helicopter. Over and over helicoptering. I was even blown over by the prop, lay there spreadeagled, saw the shadow of the blade, log rolled over to the struts, and crawled inside the cab. Whew, an adventure. I went with two other Peachlanders, who have their own stories to tell.
For me, it was a magical time of newness, granite spires towering above me, and standing at 2400 metres. That’s almost seven times the elevation of Okanagan Lake.
The lower concentrations of oxygen made my aging body feel it as I went hiking over the shale scree slopes and wildflower alpine meadows, alongside mountain streams.
Canadian Mountain Holidays, CMH, has been around for 66 years. People use them for heli skiing, mountain climbing, and hiking. They accommodate all abilities. They use Alpine Helicopters, and the guides and staff live in various places in Alberta and B.C.
The helicopter for our trip is based in West Kelowna. Summertime sounds of helicopters can mean wildfires and danger to us living here, but for those days in the Bugaboos, it meant transportation and joy.
The landscape was ephemeral, constantly changing. We ranged
over the land, rounded corners, crossed fields, descended into meadows, scaled up inclines, and it was like springtime there. The riots of wildflowers in their glory days, in the pure air.
Even up there, I had Peachland in my heart. There were little chirpy sounds on the scree slopes. People said were birds, but they reminded me of the pika, a small rodent that likes scree slopes and elevations.
In roaming over our beautiful hillsides, perhaps you’ve heard a “peek” kind of sound, not like a marmot.
Pikas are small, about 15 cm in length, with long greyish brown fur. They are lagomorphs, joining the family Leporidae, along with rabbits and hares. They have round ears, furry feet, and no tails. They can live six to seven years

in their colonies and have two litters per year. They are adorable.
Pikas are hardworking creatures, spending a lot of the growing season harvesting grasses, weeds, and wildflowers which they cut into lengths, lay out to dry in the sun, and then take into burrows for winter storage and food.
They like rocky environments and rely on snowpacks for insulating their winter homes.
Biologists are starting to regard the condition of populations of these tiny creatures as early warning signs of widespread ecological impacts. Sadly, this species is affected by the increased temperatures brought on by climate change.
At UBC Okanagan, research-
ers working in the Russello Lab are analyzing genetics among the North American pika populations. This can help develop new genetic tools to help with conservation management.
Danny Coyne is a wildlife photographer living in Peachland, and he generously shared photos with me. I first heard of pikas from Richard Smith, who advocates for them being named the mascot animal of Peachland. Their industriousness is admirable, and they are true natural wonders.
Judy Wyper is involved with the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, Seniors For Climate, First Things First, and the South Okanagan Chapter of the Council of Canadians.

adheres to them to diminish their purity - certainly not a cereal box with interior wrapper and leftover Cheerios remaining inside.
10 out of 10 for this kind of dedication although one must wonder if all that water being used to wash off contaminants might diminish the environmental benefit? Anyway, high marks for the effort.
At the other end of the continuum are folks who intentionally ignore their blue box altogether. Too busy perhaps? Philosophically opposed? Who knows.
But what about those of us in the middle of the range. If an inspector came by late in the evening to rummage through your garbage container (serves you right for leaving it out overnight) what might they find? Could
there be a soup can? A glass jar? Some strips of styrofoam? Or, in defiance of green bin protocol, dead flowers and grass clippings?
If the inspection revealed food waste, that is currently okay-- a proposed organic waste disposal program was recently nixed by Regional District partners after Kelowna opted out--so unless you have your own composting system the black bin is a legitimate choice.
But what about “flimsy” plastic (think sandwich bags, food wrap and plastic shopping bags)? And what about glass bottles and jars?
Well, starting May 1, 2026, Regional District partner Recycle BC will be providing us with two new bins to help us deal with recyclable material that would otherwise require us to make a trip to a depot, or a popup event-- or behave badly.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR
Starting May 1, 2026, residents with curbside collection will receive additional new collection boxes.
So, assuming you are higher than, let’s say, a 3 on the 10-point recycler scale, look out for, and welcome, the pink box and the grey box that will be coming your way. And if you can’t recall what to put in each, remember that P is for pink and plastic and G is for grey and glass.
A pink one to recycle flexible plastics and a grey one to recycle non-deposit glass bottles and jars at the curb.
What next you might be wondering.
S for salmon and styrofoam? E for ebony and electrical? Or, surely the most sensible of all, and deserving of a re-think, O for orange and organics. Come on Kelowna - get on board with that one!••

AWAY GAME
A Heritage Tour exploring our “MacRoots”
Note: Instead of local sports I’ve been asked to write this week about our recent trip to the UK.
After winning 2 return tickets anywhere in Westjet’s world in the Peachland Lions Father’s Day golf tournament, Allie and I chose a 21-day trip to Scotland commencing Sept 5.
We’d visited Ireland in 2017 and visiting Scotland would allow us to fully see where our Irish/Scots ancestors had emigrated from.
We first explored London for 4 days, arriving just as a subway (tube) strike began.
Our quaint hotel was conveniently located by the Hyde Park subway station. However the tube strike snarled traffic to the point where a usual 2-hour hop on/ hop off bus tour on day 2 took 6-1/2 hours to complete. We saw 50 London sites, from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace.
London is a beautiful low-rise city, with tree lined streets and predominantly 4-5 storey stone masonry buildings, retail on the bottom, residences above.
London’s pace is hurried, with e-bikes and motorcycles darting in and out of heavy traffic. However, tempering this was a wide
variety of parks and green space throughout the city. Hyde Park became a favourite regular stroll, along with visiting the friendly pubs the UK is famous for.
London is a world class city
that seems to have struck a balance between new and old and green space and business centres.
On day five, we rode the high speed commuter train 4 1/2 hours to Glasgow. The surrounding farmland enroute reminded us a lot of the Fraser Valley.
Glasgow is a beautiful city with historic stone buildings throughout. Their Art Nouveau architecture was in contrast to the Victorian style of London.
Here we started our 7-day Scotland bus tour. At our meeting point, we met our lovely Royal Irish Tours guide Melanie along with a 30-member group of mostly Canadians, and one Aussie couple.
Proving once again how small the world is, we found a fellow Peachlander, Heather Owen, travelling with her daughter Katie, on the same tour!! We enjoyed several meals together throughout the week.
The tour of Scotland was amazing, from the museum of “prolific”writer Robbie Burns, to Loch Ness (no Nessie sighting), to Culloden-site of the final Scot/ English battle in 1746, that spurred subsequent Scottish migration to Canada ( esp. Nova Scotia)
Along the way, we also
visited magnificent castles and cathedrals nestled in the beautiful green hills and mountains of the Scottish Highlands around cities like Inverness, St Andrew’s, Dundee and our favourite Edinburgh, where our tour ended.
It was educational, historical and, most of all, fun. Glad and grateful we had the opportunity to go, although the “free airfare” trip did end up costing us over $10k, prompting my part Scot wife Allie to say, “Randey, we can’t afford to save that much money…”
As I write this, we have 4 more days in Edinburgh, then back home on the 26th.
We’ve missed the head of our household, Lola the wonder dog, and 2 of our 3 daughters and family, who live in Peachland and are house sitting for us.
Grateful for a magnificent trip, but happy to be returning home to our beautiful Okanagan town, Peachland.

LAST WEEK
ATKINSON CRESCENT
ROAD NAME of the week
This road is named after Commander Bill Atkinson who was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba in 1923 and grew up on his parents’ farm.
In 1943, at the age of 19, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and took training as a Naval Airman. Flying for the Royal Navy, he became the highest-scoring fighter ace of the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II in the war in the Pacific. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) for his bravery in these actions. After the war’s end, Atkinson had a distinguished career in the Royal Canadian Navy for over 30 years, rising to the rank of Commander. This service included four years in naval intelligence in Washington, D.C. He retired from the Navy in 1973.
SIGN CORRECTED
Note: The incorrect naming of Clements as identified in last week’s Road Name of the Week has, since the book came out, been been corrected.
Bill Atkinson married Val Sigurdsson in 1946 and together they purchased the acreage off Somerset Avenue, where they built their home and subdivided the remaining land. It does not seem to be known when they left Peachland but they may have been here over a decade. In 2002, after many moves, they settled in White Rock. Bill Atkinson died in 2015 at the age of 92. He was apparently very modest about his war achievements; his family knew little of them until a book, published in 2005, covered these feats*. It seems that during the time he lived in Peachland, very few people, if any, knew that there was a war hero and naval air ace living among them.
