Now their memorial section is pushed off to the side and the vast majority of the memorial is dedicated to the terrorist attacks that occurred on the 11th of September 2001 in the United States of America. Considering the war veterans from Cashmere include veterans from wars such as World War I and World War II, to me the memorial came across as pushing the 11th of September attacks as more significant than either world war. Does Al Qaeda really transcend World War I and World War II in importance? Does the Taliban? I would have appreciated more memorial space for the veterans with ties to Cashmere. One thing this memorial did not address was the discrimination Muslims experienced following the attacks, this was completely omitted from the memorial. For full transparency I describe my religion as the following: if one were to assign my daily activities as of recent to certain religions, one might describe my religion as proportionally two parts Roman Catholic and one part Islamic. My best friend in middle school (2004-2006 time span) was a Muslim, her parents were Muslims and my parents were Christians. So for me, the terrorist attacks led to social tensions based on religion, both with this friend and others, because of how our families interacted following the attacks. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying this memorial seemed a bit one-sided in its coverage of the 11th of September terrorist attacks and their lasting societal effects. I decided to visit this memorial in part because of my experience the day of and the days following the attacks. One of my friends in elementary school (I was 9 years old when the 11th of September attacks happened) had family in the vicinity of the attack sites on 11 September 2001. Earlier in the year I had experienced terror when the Nisqually Earthquake hit Seattle in February 2001 (I was 8 years old then) and a building collapsed and my mom, my sister, and I were unsure if my dad had died, be it from the collapse or something else earthquake-related. This came out in the classroom day of the earthquake because my mom and sister were trying to keep me updated. Fast forward to the 11th of September 2001 attacks and my friend was experiencing the terror of not knowing if her family member was alive following the attacks. Most of the people in our class had heard about the attacks on the news, I had spent the morning getting ready for school and taking pictures of our pet cats and was oblivious until I learned about them from my friend in class. We ended up bonding that day and the following days as I listened to her and sympathized with the fear accompanying the uncertainty of not knowing whether a family member is alive or not. Later in our friendship I even attended her bat mitzvah (a Jewish coming of age ritual), not long after she moved away. Sometimes friendships develop in the most unusual of circumstances and ours was fostered by our experiences handling fear. So I came to this memorial on Sunday the 5th of September 2021 to see what the tie between the 11th of September terrorist attacks and Cashmere was. Turns out the tie was not a human one. The City of Cashmere was entrusted with being stewards of a piece of one of the two tower buildings and a stone from the crash site of Flight 93. On the surface it comes across as a bit of a random selection, choosing Cashmere for this considering the lack of human connection. I would have appreciated more transparency in the memorial about how the decision was made.

With plenty of dam parking, a large dam restroom facility and several lovely places for a dam picnic the Wells overlook is more than just an interesting dam stop - it doubles as a rest area and a place to stretch the ol' legs while driving through the Okanagan.

This review is for the recreation area just off SR 20 as I desperately needed a place to use the bathroom after a very long drive. The Wells Dam serves a source of hydroelectric energy and can pass a flood of over 8,800,000 gallons of water per second! It is also an important project that ensures the safe passage of migrating Salmon and Steelhead through the dams and has a fish ladder that allows them to get to the other side. It also allows scientists to catch some for studying (and maybe eating as well). The Wells Dam project also dedicates its time to hatching/breeding a variety of fish such as land-locked Chinook, White Sturgeon, Trout and Kokanee. It was deserted when we got there on a weekday around noon and there was a nice parking lot, a clean bathroom (hooray!), donated doggie bags for scooping your dog's poop, an impressive view of the dam and the surroundings and lots of signage. A lot of money and thought went into this rest stop for tourists and/or locals frequenting the area. It would be a nice place for a picnic under their pavilions for a quick lunch, a bathroom break in clean non-porta potty toilet, a photo op and a bit of history to help fill your afternoon with memories.
