White Swan Park gets facelift A$1000 cheque from Spectra Energy resulted in a huge facelift at White Swan Park in August. Spectra Energy has a line north of Takla and is part of the

fabric of several communities in North America. Through Helping Hands in

Action they partially fund a community improvement project and donate a crew of Spectra volunteers to make it happen. The White Swan Park project received 3,500 sq. ft. of sod and topsoil and a load of sand to enhance the beach. Local volunteers cleared large rocks from the swimming area, filled in dips in the ground-cover, laid down topsoil and planted sod around the existing shrubs. We received this grant and a crew of five from Spectra to do a community improvement project, said Village CAO

Rod Holland. About twenty volunteers spent up to four hours at the park-raking, cleaning out the planted areas, and removing rocks along the shorelines. Its a beautiful setting, agreed Holland. And

its the commitment from Council and staff to plan smart and beautify where we can.

Dear Summer, How are you? The family and I are well. The grandsons are growing tall like the stalks of corn peeking over Craig's fence. Hunter starts kindergarten this September. I hear its a large group over thirty little gaffers and less than ten gafferettes. They will provide some exciting enter-tainment at Mouse Mountain School. ...ahhh to be a grandma insect on the wall. Rylan had his face painted several times this summer at all the festi-vals and fairs - a skeleton zombie no less, and Gramma, with a little drop of blood right here on the cor-ner. And about this gramma gig, I am mesmerized and some days totally transfixed with their conversations and how they interpret life. Implant-ing data into those freshly minted brains is a mix of joy and an ex-hausting litany of commands like - pick up your toys say please say thank-you be kind please share and some surprising pair-ings like: dont put soy sauce in your yogurt dont pet your moth so hard and why is your (insert name of insect) in your Pocket? Sock? Water? Bath? Yes Sylvia I admit, this grams gig is the best thing since sliced bread or to update, its the best thing since that time when the hot wheels flew off the ramp and land-ed in my coffee cup. Anyway, to be old fashioned and redundant Where does the time go? Wasn't it just the other day they were swaddled new-borns with unfocused eye movements, cuddly soft necks, a demand feed-ing schedule with no logical expla-nation for night time crying and daytime boredom? So, Summer what have you been

up to since we last spoke? How about those Ca-nucks hey? They bombed again in the playoffs. Im kinda used to that now, and dont partake in the sport of playoff angst and refereeing drama. And from the player perspective, it must be great to have four months vacation time. They can actually book holidays in advance and not pay top rates at the ticket counter. Just think of the quality family-time spent mowing the lawn and relaxing on the beach. Lets face it, playoff hockey is horri-bly stressful, gruelling on the physi-cal body and tough on the equip-ment that never truly dries. Summer- Just thought I would drop you this note to Thank-you for turning June into a summer month. For those June brides who envisioned out-door photo shoots with their veil blowing in a gentle breeze - their prayers were answered this year. Summer... Good job! You were already showing promise in the springtime - using the often tumultuous Maylong weekend to showcase your power of heat and light. Dont think your work of blooming my lilacs ten days earlier than ever before has gone unno-ticed. Summer, I love what youve done with your heat this year - channel-ling your energy like a medium with a purple curtain at the P.N.E. and dispersing it north of the 49th. Did I glimpse a bit of pity sunshine on our Canucks who were on the golf courses early? While they may for-get to thank you, I will take that liberty on their behalf.

I have faith that you will gener-ate large dollops of heat again next year. I know there are those who complain about freckles and sun-burns, but holy moly you trans-formed the season into something resembling the sub-tropics. I saw on Global how you took a tall plant in one guys yard (in the nor-mally rainy Vancouver suburbs) and hung baby green bananas there. Wow! That got everyone's attention! They even brought in a scientific mind to explain it!! Dearest Summer, I love the way you pull out that blue sky behind weddings and birthday parties. And even for fishing, this year, man you got it nailed. Tenters love how you toss that blue backdrop around like it was confetti It appears tho much of your work went unappreciated. Some folks even whined about not sleeping at nights!...too hot they said... I for one am always glad when you stroll in and take over the weather column. What I respect about you is how you can get everyones hopes up and then dash them with a handful of hail stones. Oh you are always the crafty one! So to wrap up, I just would like to thank YOU summer for allowing children to play outdoors and giv-ing us cause to picnic and build sand castles at White Swan Park. Thanks for growing a delicious crop of huckleberries and for blooming an aromatic planter of Evening Scented Stock by my front door. Thank you.

SUMMER -Thanks for Everything

Endako This & That written by Audrey Read

I have been reading over all the beautiful cards & letters we have received from so many friends & relatives after Walter's passing. They are won-derful & very comforting, thank you one and all! We are very blessed to have such great friends! ***** Isn't it amazing how we hope & pray for rain and then when it comes...when we are haying & don't want it...we complain about it! We humans are really a strange lot! ***** The Ol' Bull, 5W, got foot rot here awhile back so I called my good friend Harry Houlden to come and give us a hand to doctor him. He is such a gentle old fellow, all 2600 pounds of him! When Walter & I used to doctor him Walter would put a rope around his neck and we'd haze him over to a cottonwood tree and snub him up then proceed to treat him and give him a shot or two. When we let him go, he might amble off or just stay for a chat. I don't think Harry believed me that it would be that easy! Ol' 5W needed a toe trimmed, looked like he'd cracked it on a rock or something so Harry did the job...and very well too! Then he got a treatment of purple wound dressing and a couple of shots in the back side and he was good to go! He looks right classy wandering around the fields with a purple foot! At this time of year "Ol' 5W" has his woman all taken care of so he has to go scouting for greener pastures and younger women!...He can be a real pain in the neck let me tell you! The elec-tric fence is a big help though. I WILL miss him....I think, he has given us some wonderful off-spring and has passed on his great temperament too. Ah, such is life! ***** With all this rain it is sure helping the fall pasture, things were getting pretty dried up and the water getting low too. Not a good scene at all for someone with livestock. The hay fields are looking good, probably get a second crop on some of it...we will see I guess. ***** Daughter Shannon & I went out on the range the other day in the Razer...she said that I had to drive!...Now I know that many people think this "off-roading" is the greatest thing since sliced bread but me personally? No, I can't for the life of me catch on to the joys of it! I mean really, think about it...you get yourself into this little rig that I might add goes just about anywhere and you leave perfectly smooth roads & fields for bush, rocks and stumps! You know, we were travelling along and there are these ten foot trees in our way so we just run over them, occasional-ly we get slapped in the face...well actually we get slapped a LOT of times! I ask: "And people call this FUN!" Anyway, there are a lot of stumps on the trail, (I use the word trail loosely!) I am trying to dodge them and get to where we are going....to check the salt for the cat-tle. We climb up steep areas that I'll bet a mountain goat thinks twice about tackling! Ah, I say..."We having fun yet?" Finally we see the notch in the trail indicating the area where the salt is, its foot work from here, nice to stretch our legs! Penny the little dog is glad to get out for awhile, she doesn't like the trees slapping her! Freha, the big dog catches up and we all head off to the salt to find the cattle haven't even been near it! We decide to move it to another location. We had been following the fence line which not many years ago we used to take the pick-up! Man alive, how quickly those trees have grown up! I must admit though that taking the Razer sure beats walking, of course we could go by horseback but it would have taken all day and the Razer does have its good points! Can only go slow unless your seat belts are done up, now that is a good feature let me tell you! Especially when I think back to where we had been! We also see the ol' bull and he is strutting around like a young fellow, foot all healed up, thanks Harry for doctoring him! Life goes on but I am pretty sure that Walter is up there just shaking his head at some of the things I am doing! ***** Really amazing how the berries on the Mountain Ash trees have turned their red colour already, looks a lot like fall out there! A lot of the trees in the yard are starting to turn colour too, Birch and Maple are starting to get beautiful colours for fall. I was told the other day that you can make jam out of Mountain Ash berries...anyone ever hear of it? ***** Was just thinking about life...."My life has a really good cast, but I sometimes cannot for the life of me figure out the plot!"...Yup, life goes on...even when we feel lonely and deserted! Like I always say: "SMILE...makes folks wonder what in tarnation you are up to!" ***** Went out to take salt to the three herds of cattle today. Got out of the car to open the gate into one area and pulled on the two top wires to loosen them a bit to make the gate easier to open...well!...I gave a mighty pull and the wire latch on the bloomin' gate went flying...same as I did! Sure am glad that the car was right there and I fell into it...even saw a few stars! Well now the gate is sporting a bright pink dog leash to hold it shut! Nothing but the best around here let me tell you. Keep smilin' all...remember, a belly laugh a day keeps old age away!

Great turnout for 6th Dennis Hiatt Mud Bogs

The Dennis Hiatt 6th Annual Mud Bogs was another great success this year.

The weather was spectacular and the stands were packed for both days of action.

The event continues to grow thanks to the dedication of the organizing committee and to the continued support from the sponsors who financially make it possible.

Dennis Hiatt was an avid Mudbogger long before Mud bogging had a name. As a child held drive anything he could get his hands on and in typical farming fashion, there was always something on wheels sitting in the front yard.

Dennis died at the scene of a Motor vehicle crash on his return home from a Mud Bog competition across Francois Lake in 2009.

To honour Denniss memory, his friends founded a society and for the

past six years have hosted an annual Mud Bog Competition at the Endako Rod & Gun Club.

The New Electric Power Wheels Class for kids at this years Mud Bogs, brought a big crowd The stands were full for the races.

In 1947, Winston Churchill said that democracy was the worst form of government except for the other forms that have been tried from time to time. He meant that although democracy had a lot of shortcomings or warts, it was still the best system around. As Canadians approach the October 19th day of reckoning in the voting booth, lets try to think realistically about some of these warts and remember why its important to vote. Wart # 1: There are no perfect political par ties that reflect my beliefs and so I d rather not support any one of them. Nothing in this world is perfect, and mature adults know that more often than not, we have to choose the lesser of two evils. Wart # 2: Politicians we personally like may not always be the best choice. So vote for the better choice. Democracy works better in the long run if we vote for competency instead of personality. Incompetent lead-ers we like will do more damage than less personable but competent leaders. Wart # 3: There is often a conflict between what is good for the nation as a whole and what is good for you, the individual voter. It isnt always possible to balance the two. The chances are that you will do better in the long run by supporting the good of the nation as a whole because you are likely to do well when the whole country does well. Wart # 4: Your vote will be swamped by millions of others and so it doesnt really matter. This is abso-lutely true and nothing not even a new voting system can change that. But what is also true is that by not voting, you are weakening democracy by one vote and, thereby, giving your invitation to systems that are even less perfect. If you think that doesnt matter, talk to people who have lived under these less perfect sys-tems (like dictatorships or Communism) and youll be smartened up in a hurry. Wart # 5: Election speeches are bor ing and not really relevant to the ordinary voter . Indeed, often these speeches are dull but being dull doesnt mean they are not relevant to our lives. These speeches are about policies that sooner or later will affect everyone for good or ill. Youll learn that when your taxes go up, there are new user fees or new regulations to follow. Wart # 6: Politicians are always lying to us. If thats true, then its also true that they wouldnt lie to voters if voters didnt want to be lied to and reward the best liars. Its a game that needs both sides to play: Tell me lies, sweet little lies. The cure is simple: pay attention and be more critical. If you value freedom, then democracy despite all its shortcomings is the only game in town, so on October 19th, get your a** out the door and vote.

SIMONDS SANCTUARY IN BURNS LAKE

Two mature Tortoiseshell cats need a home

Two new arrivals at the shelter last week. These two gorgeous tortoiseshell cats are sisters, they have been together for 11 years. Ursula can be found relaxing on her bed, preferably upside down when you pet her. She is very easy-going and outgoing. Phoebe was more shy at first, reserved about trusting. After a couple of days in the shelter, they had access to the outdoor pen, and I haven't seen Phoebe inside since. She is magnetized by the view of the world from the clinic yard. Both are very loving. It would be a dream come true if we could place these two together. If you are interested in giving either of these mature girls a home, please call 250-692-7476

Written By Elaine Storey If you live in the local area and were bored this summer, you must have made a conscious decision to un attend the smorgasbord of events that took place. The

kick-off to summer after Graduation was Mouse Mountain Day on July 1st. With its parade & fireworks & community BBQ it offered something for everyone. For the athletes, there was three-day slo pitch tourna-ment, for Blue Grass lovers-The White Swan Music Festival and for the car enthusiasts- a Classic Car Rally. The Tri-Athalon, for serious athletes fell in late July. For those who love a bargain there has been a Community Market every Friday since June there, you can purchase locally designed arts & crafts, home-made jams, fresh baking, farm-fresh pork and beef as well as vegetables in season. The sawmill picnic on July 19th was a lure for local fisherpeople who took part in the open fishing derby. Some of the August events included the 1st Festival of Arts followed by the 6th annual Mud Bogs on the 15 & 16th. If you aren't an event goer, there were daily programs organized by the Village Rec Dept-and to keep up with their daily schedule you had to set the alarm and pack a lunch. So, if none of that turned your crank, and you were houebound because its the same old, same old and you

live in the most boring place on earth, you likely would have been gobsmacked to discover the towns

folk have been busy with projects this summer. Improvement like: a flagpole with parking lot upgrades at the boat launch with a year-round washroom; fencing around the Cemetery; water & sewer services to the skate-board area; shiny, new sidewalks to the Health Centre; skate-board park crack sealing; Kin Park was refurbished; the walking trails on Mouse Mountain now boast a wider brush-cleared path; there were new planters & signage erected at the park and along Highway 16; old planters were dug up and new soil added; Endako Mine equipment was placed in the south-side development area; the village office sidewalks have been replaced along with a retaining wall. These improvements are the villages

efforts to exercise a sense of community and to make things more attractive. Sorry if you were bored this summer but there really was a ton to see & do!

Michelle Walsh, daughter of Mike Walsh, grew up in Fraser Lake and is now a Ma-rine Biologist with the Department of Fisheries. She is from the Carrier Nation of Nadleh Whuten Band and now lives in the Kamloops area where she works

for the Secwepemc First Nation.

Michelle was recently featured as the poster child for a Department of Fisher-

ies initiative to recover the tagged Coho and Chinook Salmon that now can be found in the Pacific Northwest water sys-tems.

The salmon, if you catch one, are recog-nizable by the missing adipose fin and a microscopic Coded Wire Tag in their snout . The tag isnt visible, but it bears

valuable information the Fisheries Depart-ment has about the fish and where it has travelled.

If you catch such a fish this season, youre urged to remove the head and take it to the recovery depot nearest you.

There are over 250 depots in the province and they can be found by searching DFO Salmon Head Recovery.

In her role with the Fisheries, Michelle implements fisheries management pro-grams. She provides outreach and education and develops research and restora-tion endeavours in her work with First Nations.
