Extractions: Cyber World The following text is simply an intro to a not so typical water ski and wakeboard club in North America. For the latest news, click on ALL the above Bumfluff's but, we encourage you to read about us in the following. We are located at 53.4 deg nth latitude where the sun shines 18 hours per day in Summer and 6 in winter. Our season lasts from May (Brrrr) to October (Brrrrr) although we have skied on April 7th (earliest) and around November 15th (latest) at our site. The rest of the time, id be frozen man! Well! It is now the Summer of 2005 and the Club is in full swing! Check out the Bumfluff for pics, info and other tidbits Wizard Winter Skiing Pics The Wizard Water Ski Club is located about 75 km southwest of Edmonton, Alberta, on the south shore of Wizard lake. The club is one of the largest and oldest (since 1961) in Alberta. Our membership ranges from recreational skiers (re. Wally's) to past national champions (yes Vern Oberg did actually win the senior men's overall title a few years ago and Cindy Trueman is the Current Women's 3 National Champ!). Besides three event skiers, we also have many wakeboarders and barefooters (none of the barefooters are any good, but they always have lots of beer). Actually, methinks we have more wakeboarders! But, can't tell because they never get up until the afternoon. We even have a few Air Chair wankers - lots of stuff to do here.... The club site itself is located on a parcel of land which was acquired in the early 60's as a long term lease from the Goodrich family. Now, the land is solely owned by the Wizard Water Ski Club. The site consists of: the club shack (a clubhouse overlooking the lake), lakeside sauna/change room and pier, equipment and gas sheds, various club member cabins, slalom couse, ski jump, and of course a couple of ski boats (a 94 American Skier TBX, and a 92 Flightcraft outboard). The down side is that Wizard Lake is fully accessible to the public and within an hours drive of Edmonton (750,000 people), so the lake can and does get swamped with (the curse of all ski clubs) wallies and jet skiers.

News Release A LEARN-TO-SKI INITIATION PROGRAM FOR PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY OTTAWA- Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada (WSWC) will launch its SkiAbility clinics program this Friday to Sunday in Knowlton, Que. This first session will assemble 24 invited facilitators from across Canada who will be trained to instruct and manage their own clinics across Canada throughout the summer. SkiAbility is a national standardized program designed to encourage a greater number of Canadians with a disability to learn and enjoy the sport of water skiing. With proper instruction, equipment and access, water skiing has proven to be an easily adaptable, safe and healthy activity for virtually any person with a physical or intellectual disability. The project is a comprehensive clinic outreach program, whereby trained SkiAbility clinic facilitators will deliver clinics and lessons to skiers of different ages with different types of disabilities. The intent is to have multiple clinics delivered in different locations in every province across Canada. The goal is to serve 480 skiers in the summer of 2005 and 960 skiers in the summer of 2006. "This program is going to have a fantastic impact at the grassroots level," said Chris Bourne of Ottawa, a member of the Canadian national disabled team who also works with Active Living Alliance for Canadians with a Disability. "There are a few programs across Canada that specialize in water skiing for people with a disability but nothing this comprehensive and coordinated. We'll be providing provinces across Canada with training instructors, equipment and knowledge to go out there and introduce the sport of

They hide in the forests most of the year under the shade of the much larger hardwoods. But at this time, before the mighty oaks dominate once again, the dogwoods, in full flower, celebrate their own unique, delicate beauty. Black Oak guests may choose to take advantage of other nearby recreational opportunities such as floating the White River, canoeing the Buffalo River, or golfing on the nearby riverside golf course. We'll be happy to make the arrangements for you.

Extractions: From the Ramsar Forum Multiple uses of water-supply reservoirs [The following exchange of Forum postings took place in early June and offers some interesting examples of recreational and other uses of water-supply facilities. Web Editor.] [1 June 1998] From WWF Greece we would like to know whether there are any examples of lakes that serve as the main water suppliers to nearby big cities and at the same time facilitate mild recreation or athletic activities (e.g. rowing /canoeing). Thank you, Panagiota Maragou , Wetland coordinator, WWF Greece, e-mail p.maragou@wwf.gr [1 June 1998] Best regards, Mary C. Landin , PhD, Professional Wetland Scientist, Water Resources Planning and Restoration, 3084 Tom Collins Road, Utica, MS 39175-9351 USA, e-mail landinmc@aol.com [1 June 1998] I can answer that some do, and some don't. Generally, California permits nearly any kind of recreation on major storage reservoirs. California has some terminal water supply reservoirs that provide recreation in the form of boating and fishing, but not water contact recreation like swimming or water skiing. Other jurisdictions prohibit any human activities in the watershed of terminal reservoirs. This has been the source of considerable tension between water managers, who would prefer no possible contamination, and recreation advocates, who believe the risk of contamination is tolerable, considering the degree of treatment that is required. In the San Francisco Bay area, the East Bay reservoirs generally permit some fishing and boating recreation while the San Franciso Peninsula reservoirs (Crystal Springs and Lake Pilarcitos) generally prohibit access even to the watershed without a special permit. It is my understanding that the difference is because the water source for Crystal Springs Reservoir is the Hetch Hetchy aqueduct from Yosemite Park. This water is so pure and free of minerals that the only treatment it receives before distribution is the addition of a small amount of lime to reduce its corrosive effect on pipes.

Visit our placid lakes, running streams and raging white water. Fishing / Ice Fishing Underwater Diving Watercraft Sports Ice Skating ... Water-skiing Fishing / Ice Fishing There is a wide range of opportunities available for fishing in the Pittsburgh District's lakes and rivers. In partnership with state agencies, Corps biologists monitor the water quality and fish populations in the rivers and reservoirs. Through stocking, fertilization, water treatment, habitat development, and other management techniques, a healthy fishery is maintained. Water releases from the reservoirs during the dry summer months have also resulted in an improved river fishery. Species of fish vary between projects, depending on such variables as water quality and temperature. Lake trout, bass, brown trout, muskellunge, walleye, panfish and many others are waiting to be caught. NOTE: Fishing on all Corps lakes and on rivers requires a fishing license from the state (and Seneca Nation of Indians at Allegheny Reservoir) which has jurisdiction over the water you are fishing.

Extractions: In the 1860's the nearby town of Unionville, Rochester and Star City boomed after the gold and silver strikes, but died quickly when the veins ran out. The town of Rye Patch, located closed to the river, processed ore from the mines with a 10-stamp mill built in 1864. Named for a patch of wild rye along the railroad route, Rye Patch had a school, post office, boarding house and, after 1869, a station on the Central Pacific Railroad. The mill processed one million dollars worth of gold and silver, but after it closed down in 1877, the town gradually declined.
