John Lowe has been a busy boy.
He has just returned from the annual
National Emergency Nurses
Association conference held at the
Delta Grand Okanogan Hotel in
Kelowna, B.C. for three days. There
is always lots to learn to keep his
skills and knowledge -base up to date
with the most current practices.
He arrived a little early, so he
rented a car and toured to the south
of Kelowna. He went to Peachland,
Summerland, Oliver ( which is the
wine capital of Canada) and crossed
the border into Washington State. He
reports beautiful countryside with
the orchards and vineyards galore
out in bloom.
John met up with a friend on
Sunday following the close of the
nurses conference, from Toronto
who works for IKEA Corporate and
was in the west already. They drove
607 kilometres or seven hours to
Jasper, Alberta via Kamloops.
Enroute, John managed to snap a
picture of Mt. Robson, a mountain
that is only 100 per cent visible a
few times a year, as it is so tall, it
creates its own weather system.
Monday morning the pair went up
the Jasper skytram and hung out at
the top of Whistler Mountain at
Jasper National Park. Then they
headed for a tour of the Jasper
skywalk and ice fields of the
Athabasca glacier, which is located
between Jasper and Lake Louise.
The temperature was -5°C but it felt
very mild and was super bright.
They ended that night in Lake
Louise and the next morning they
stood behind the Fairmont Chateau
and took pictures while standing on
the frozen Lake Louise.
They took the Banff gondola in the
afternoon to have lunch at Sulphur
Mountain Cosmic Ray Station.
Before catching the red eye flight
in Calgary back to London, John
reports relaxing in the steamy hot
mineral water at the Banff Upper
Hot Springs. It is located at 5,200
feet and is the highest operating hot
spring in Canada with temperatures
of 39°C. John reports the Canadian
rockies trip was spectacular and
breathtaking and a true gem for our
country and hopes to return again!
Welcome back John from a busy and
exciting trip.
FROM WALTON
Sympathies extended to Tipple, Burns families
The Glanville family gathered one
evening last week to celebrate Lorne
and Bonnie's 50th wedding
anniversary. The group gathered at
the couple's home to enjoy a meal in
celebration and had a chance to visit
with Lorne and Bonnie's son Paul,
who arrived from High River,
Alberta for a visit. Many had not
seen Paul for several years and were
happy to see how well he is doing.
Paul will be here for about 10 days
to catch up with family before
returning home.
Our sympathies are extended to
the Burns family on the passing of
Larry Burns. He will be missed by
his wife Betty and children Conrad,
Art and James and their families.
Larry was a successful farmer and
businessman, with his latest venture
in Walton, WER Manufacturing.
Many times he would have lunch in
Walton and visit with those gathered
and we would have a chat about old
times curling. Our condolences to
the Burns family.
Our sympathies are extended to
Joyce Huether Tipple on the passing
of her husband Roger Tipple. He
will be missed by Joyce and their
children Jonathon and Sarah and
their families. He will also be missed
by Brian Huether and family, Dave
Huether and family and Joan
Huether Ritchie and family and the
McDonald families. Roger and
Joyce raised their family and lived in
Burlington. Our condolences to all.

Local returns from D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival
Returning from a wanner climate
are George and Harry Zwep.
They headed south at the end of
March for a week of motorbiking.
They headed to the Blue Ridge
Parkway in Virginia, a favourite
area for them. They travelled
through seven states. At the end of
the first day the temperature was -
1°C and they travelled through
snow. The road was closed on the
second day, so a change of route was
made and they continued further
south. The temperature kept rising
and eventually reached 29°C and
it was great biking. Lots of new
winding roads and great views
to be enjoyed. Welcome home
guys.
Hopefully the weather is going to
straighten around, because the
farmers are getting anxious to get on
the land. Some have been out
spreading manure and some are
spreading fertilizer on wheat fields
with ATVs. Corn is traditionally
planted around the first of May, but
the ground is still very cold and wet
and can't be worked just yet in most
fields.
Jane Zwep has returned from a bus
trip with Hanover Tours to the
Cherry Blossom Festival in
Washington, D.C. The day they
spent at the two-hour parade had
temperatures reaching 83°F. The
parade was fantastic with large
balloon flowers, floats and marching
bands all with the cherry blossom
theme.
They were seated in front of
the announcer's box and had a
chance to see many entries perform
right in front of them. Other
highlights of the trip were seeing the
Washington Monument, Capital
Hill, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam
Veterans Memorial Wall, Korean
War Veterans Memorial,
Smithsonian Institute and of course,
the White House.
They also spent an afternoon at
Arlington Cemetery where they saw
the grave site of John F. Kennedy
and the Eternal Flame.
They also had the opportunity to
