The body of Kevin Boutilier was recovered last week, a year after the 25-year-old Calgary man went missing in Shuswap Lake.
On Monday, the BC Coroners Service con-firmed the body of Kevin William Boutilier was recovered on July 10.
In a news release, Barb McLintock of the Coro-ners Service notes Boutilier was last seen on Aug. 24, 2013, when he and some friends were aboard a houseboat in Cinnemousun Narrows.
“Mr. Boutilier and several others jumped into the lake to retrieve a hat which had fallen in, but weather conditions caused the boat to drift away from the group,” says McLintock. “Even with help from his friends, Mr. Boutilier was unable to return to the boat.”
The successful search was conducted private-ly by Gene and Sandy Ralston of Idaho-based Ralston and Associates. The Raltsons resumed the search following an extensive effort con-ducted after Boutilier’s disappearance by RCMP, members of Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue #106 Shuswap Station and Vernon Search and Rescue. This involved multiple outings that stretched into October.

Sturgis organizers plan to drop suit vs district‘Surprisingly complicated’ is how
a defence lawyer describes portions of the legal action initiated by Ray Sas-seville, Joan Hansen and Sturgis North Entertainment Inc. involving motorcycle events they put on in the North Okana-gan-Shuswap.
After launching the lawsuit in BC Supreme Court in December 2013, in March of this year Sasseville and Hansen began the process to drop the court action against six of the seven defendants.
Adding to the mix, Gerhard A. Pyper, the lawyer who initiated the lawsuit on the plaintiffs’ behalf, has been suspended by the Law Society of British Columbia.
Salmon Arm lawyer Rodney Chor-neyko is representing four of the seven defendants.
“It’s very odd. I’ve never had so many
twists and turns simply for plaintiffs to abandon their claims so early – there’s so much complication to get documents fi-nalized,” Chorneyko told the News.
Chorneyko is representing Steve Hammer, site manager for the 2011 Stur-gis North motorcycle rally; the Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce; Renée Charbonneau who publishes a blog and newspaper for the motorcycle community; and Bernie Aubin, an enter-tainment provider.
Also named as defendants are the municipality of Sicamous and current mayor Darrel Trouton, represented by lawyer Larry Robinson, as well as camp-ing provider Vincent Lewis from Vernon, represented by Nick Vlahos.
According to the initial claim, Si-camous is named because Sturgis North entered into an agreement to hold an an-nual event there beginning in 2011 called
the Sturgis North Burn-out and Festi-val. The plaintiffs alleged the event was wrongfully taken over and became the Summer Stomp Burn-out.
The chain of events in the lawsuit in-cludes court documents registered Jan. 3 and Jan. 14 this year, in which Sasseville gives notice that he intends to represent himself in place of Pyper his lawyer.
In a June 26 letter a client forwarded to the News, Chorneyko writes: “It is not usual for counsel to cease representing a party, but it is unusual for that to oc-cur with plaintiffs’ counsel so soon after commencement of a claim...”
After the initial claim, Chorneyko filed an application to have the proceed-ings transferred to Salmon Arm.
Next, Pyper sent documents to the de-fendants declaring that the plaintiffs were volunteering to abandon their claims

bate about removal of the speed dips on ei-ther side of the Solsqua Bridge over the Eagle River during the regu-lar council meeting on July 9.
Council was pre-sented with the motion to approve the removal of the dips, which have been undergoing as-sessment since July 2013.
The district hired All-Span Engineering and Construction to as-sess the bridge’s load capacity to determine if the dips were nec-essary. The dips were originally implemented to reduce the impact from trucks with heavy loads, and reduce speeds over the bridge in order to maintain the structure of the bridge.
The assessment, which is not yet fin-ished, found that with previous improvements
to the bridge’s deck – resulting in an in-creased an load limit – the structure could last another five years. This position may change, however, when a pile inspection is complet-ed.
In a two-to-four vote, council decided to put off taking action on the speed dips until the assessment is com-pleted.
“I’m really puzzled by this motion,” said Coun. Fred Busch, not-
ing the state of the piles was unknown. “We don’t have the full re-port on the bridge.”
There was concern that if the piles were not in great condition, speeding and heavy loads could cause dam-age to the bridge.
Couns. Suzanne Carpenter and Don Richardson agreed with Busch.
“Why would we spend money to take the dips out,” said Car-penter. “The reason the
bridge has lasted so long is because of the dips.”
Coun. Terry Rysz said he drives over the bridge quite often, and there isn’t nearly as much truck traffic as there used to be.
“Those dips abso-lutely accomplish noth-ing,” said Rysz, not-ing the dips also don’t make a difference when it comes to speeding on the bridge. “I’m op-posed to them and have been since day one.”
Speed dip debate returns with reportBy Chelsea GraingerEagle Valley News
The annual Summer Stomp and Burnout will be swinging into Sicamous to celebrate its 25th anniversary this weekend.
The event, orga-nized by the Summer Stomp Committee in partnership with the District of Sicamous, will feature burnout competitions, music, bull riding, stunt bikers and much more over the course of the week-end. All-ages events will take place on Main Street and adults-only activities will take place at the Stomp Grounds, which are located at the district’s dog park.
Summer Stomp Committee’s Steve Hammer says that he expects there will be around 2,000 people attending the Main Street events, with even more showing up
at the Stomp grounds for camping.
“There’s going to be a lot of action going on,” said Hammer, who describes the event as a outdoor music and show and shine festi-val. “It’s an absolutely amazing event – there’s something for every-one.”
The Stomp grounds will open for campers on Wednesday, but the official gates will open on Thursday at 4 p.m. The Junk Yard Dogs will play a set at 8:30 p.m.
Friday’s festivities will kick off on Main Street with a parade put on by the Vintage Car Club at 10:15 a.m., fol-lowed by stunt riders and jumpers perform-ing at 10:30 and 3:15 p.m.
Kids will get a chance to hop on their pedal bikes and zig-zag through a street-cross course put on by the RCMP at noon, and at
1 p.m. the streets will get smoky as the burn-out competition begins.
Music will kick off at 11:30 with Sister Sabbath, Baracudda at 1:14 p.m., Junk Yard Dogs at 4:15, and Shoe Swap at 6:30.
The Stomp Grounds will hold the evening’s activities with a bull-riding competition at 6 p.m. Baracudda takes the ground’s stage at 7 p.m., and headlin-ers Kenny Shields and Streetheart will play at 8:45. Totally Tom and The Women of Rock will take the stage at 11 and Sister Sab-bath will wrap up the night at 12:45 a.m. The grounds will shut down by 2:45 a.m.
The legion will start things off on Main Street on Saturday with a Pancake Breakfast at 8 a.m. The adventurous will be able to hunt for the perfect hand during the poker run, which will start at the Shell
Station on Main Street at 11 a.m. Registration is at 10:30. Stunt rid-ers will also be back to perform at 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Junk Yard Dogs will return to the Main Street stage at 11 a.m., followed by ZZ Top tribute band LegZZ at 1:45. Shoe Swap will return at 2:45 p.m. and AC/DC tribute band, High Voltage, will per-form at 4:30.
Main Street activi-ties will wind down by 6 p.m.
The party continues at the Stomp Grounds
with bike rodeo games at 5:45. Music for the evening kicks off with Totally Tom and The Women of Rock at 8:30 p.m., LegZZ at 10:30 and High Volt-age at 1 a.m. The night ends with Dreams, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band.
Tickets for the event can be purchased on-line and cost $100 for the whole weekend, or $60 for Saturday only. Money raised at the event will go towards a number of non-profit organizations in the Shuswap.

Tickets for illegal dumping may be issued to those responsible for the mess left outside the recycling bins earlier this month at the cor-ner of Main Street and Highway 97A.
The bins are provid-ed through the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District. On the evening of Canada Day, the per-son contracted by the CSRD to maintain the depot was frustrated and angry to � nd a day’s worth of refuse left on the ground – and the bins completely empty.
CSRD waste reduc-tion co-ordinator Car-men Fennell says the bins had been emptied that morning. During this process, the bin doors, through which
recyclables are depos-ited, are shut to prevent spillage.
“So I guess nobody bothered to open them, and they just started throwing the stuff on the ground there,” said Fennell. “So when she came to check them at the end of her shift of work, there was a whole day’s worth of stuff piled on the ground, just at the side of the bins. Even though they were com-pletely empty all day.”
What this amounts to is illegal dumping, a ticketable offence, and Fennell says the waste will be searched for any identi� able documenta-tion before it is properly disposed of.
“Even if the bins are locked, even if the bins are full, don’t leave it on the ground. Take it
home,” said Fennell, noting the doors can be easily opened just by pulling the pin. “There’s
a phone number on the bins. There’s a phone number on the sign. Very often, people have cell phones, so it’s very easy to make a phone call now.
“Nobody called me all day to say there’s a problem at the bins. So take some responsibil-ity for what’s happen-
ing in your community. Just because you show up and 10 people have left their trash on the ground, it’s not OK for you to do that as well.”
Fennell notes this kind of activity re� ects what happened in Sor-rento before the CSRD had to temporarily re-move the bins there. And she says the Dis-trict of Sicamous is al-ready less-than-enthusi-astic about the location of the bins.
“It’s a big job for the one person looking after the bins, and she’s doing the best job that she can, but then what happens is the district sees that and they’re frustrated too because that’s not what you want a tourist to see when they pull into town. And I agree, that shouldn’t happen,” said Fennell.
Though Fennell would like to see the bins continue to be available in Sicamous, she warns that if ille-gal dumping continues, the worst-case scenario is that they will be re-moved.
“We want to try and work with the commu-nity, we want to keep those bins where they are; it’s a good pro-gram…,” said Fennell, adding Sicamous cur-rently is without a curb-side collection program. “If it happens, we will be enforcing our illegal dumping bylaw. The worst case would be, if it becomes an issue and they continue to be abused, it has happened before, Sorrento was without bins a good six months before we found another location.”
Bin users on notice for illegal dumpingBy Lachlan LabereEagle Valley News

“Again, it is not un-usual for disputes to settle, but it is unusual for plaintiffs to effec-tively abandon their claims so soon after commencing the pro-ceeding. It is also un-usual for there to be no settlement discussions preceding the settle-ment,” wrote Chor-neyko.
The documents in which Sasseville, Han-sen and Sturgis North Entertainment Inc. dis-miss their claims have not yet been processed by the Vancouver court registry, but Chorneyko said he believes it is be-cause of a backlog at the registry, not because anything is amiss.
Neither Sasseville nor Hansen could be reached for comment.
Regarding Pyper, rather than holding a hearing on whether to suspend the lawyer, the law society used its ability to take immedi-ate action to protect the public. The society ap-plied to the court to take over as custodian of Pyper’s practice when he was suspended in late May. No details on why Pyper was sus-
pended are forthcoming because the complaint is being investigated.
The suspension may
delay a resolution to the legal action.
In an earlier inter-view, Chorneyko de-scribed the claims by the plaintiffs as frivo-lous.
Sasseville and Han-sen were behind the St-urgis North Motorcycle Rally and Music Festi-val held in Salmon Arm in July 2011 and the 2012 event near Vernon at the Spallumcheen Motoplex Speedway and Event Park.
An event is planned for Merritt in August, with the name changed to Sturgis Canada.
While the � rst two events received some good and some poorer reviews from partici-pants, both events left debts behind them. A lawsuit initiated in 2012 by the motoplex seeking close to $400,000 from
Sturgis North Encore Productions Inc. re-mains before the courts, and some Salmon Arm businesses owed mon-ey since 2011 have still not been paid.
In contrast to the le-gal action he initiated, Sasseville is currently one of those named in an investigation by the BC Securities Commission into the illegal distribution of securities in 2007 for Wireless Wizard Tech-
nologies Inc., whose products were pur-ported to include a GPS system for motorcycles.
The allegations have not been proven and a hearing is set for Octo-ber.
In a separate case in 2003, Sasseville faced allegations of illegal distribution of securi-ties and was prohibited from engaging in inves-tor relations activities for a minimum of three years.

VICTORIA – “Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province.
The headline picked up on Transportation Minis-ter Todd Stone’s justifica-tion for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show por-tions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds.
Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.”
For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three
segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Co-quihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancou-ver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can con-firm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communi-ties where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist.
Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel
road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h.
There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increas-ing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents.
Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe acci-dents goes up.
Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of near-ly five per cent on basic in-surance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily inju-ry, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers.
Another reason is dis-traction, not just from mo-bile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas.
Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t ac-customed to highway driv-ing, North America style.
But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest genera-tion I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road.
If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traf-fic.

Taxpayers lose in Graydon’s gamble
OPINION
In the wake of a report that found former B.C. Lottery Corporation CEO Michael Graydon was in conflict of interest while negotiating a
job with a private casino firm, questions remain.The report, released last week by the Ministry of
Finance, states Graydon was found to be in conflict “during the two months prior to the time he left Brit-ish Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), but found no evidence that he or his new employer ben-efited from the conflict.” And while Graydon contin-ued to have access to confidential information in his role as CEO, “there was no evidence that informa-tion was removed or used inappropriately to benefit his new employer.”
As NDP gambling critic Shane Simpson has noted, someone in the BCLC bungled this big time, but will anyone pay the price?
The fact that Graydon was negotiating to work with a private gambling firm while heading the gov-ernment’s gambling arm should be enough to point to an obvious conflict of interest, regardless of what the investigation revealed this week.
But, the fact Graydon negotiated while on the tax-payer dime, then quit voluntarily, then scooped up $125,000 in taxpayer funds as he walked out the door is more than a little galling.
While Finance Minister Michael de Jong has acknowledged the report and announced policy changes to prevent such a situation in the future, where is the BCLC board’s defence of offering such an offensive golden parachute?
Kamloops’ Bud Smith is chairman of the BCLC board and has only issued a terse statement, which argued the audit shows “the information provided by Mr. Graydon to the board was incomplete and/or inaccurate.”
If that is a fact, perhaps Smith and board can then inform the public whether it plans to ask Graydon to perhaps return to taxpayers some, if not all, of the money he pocketed after leaving, but not before pro-viding incomplete and/or inaccurate information to the BCLC board.
The problem is these types of shenanigans are endemic in B.C.’s Crown corporations and we will be writing about another transgression soon enough.

Riders must emphasize safety on the open roadMotorcycle enthusiasts in lo-
cales with cold winters may anticipate the warmer weather of spring and summer more than others, as it means they can pull their bikes out of their garages and get back on the open road. While riding a motorcycle can be an exhilarating experience, the U.S. Highway Safety Authority notes that fatal crashes are much more likely to occur to motorcycle riders than automobile drivers. As the number of drivers and riders on the road continues to increase, it has never been more important for riders to practice motorcycle safety.
Be seen and heardEver wonder why some motor-cycles make so much noise? It’s to attract the attention of other motorists. Thanks to their small pro� les, motorcycles can easily go unnoticed by motorists. Failure of other motorists to see motor-cycles on the road is a chief con-tributor to collisions involving mo-torcycles. One of the more comprehensive
studies on motorcycle accidents occurred in 1981. Titled “Mo-torcycle Accident Cause Factors and Identi� cation of Countermea-sures” and published by research-er Harry Hurt with the help of the University of Southern California and the National Highway Traf� c Safety Administration, the study analyzed 3,600 motorcycle traf-� c accidents in a speci� c region of California. The � ndings showed most motorcycle accidents in-volve a short trip associated with shopping, errands, friends, enter-
tainment, or recreation, and the accident is most likely to occur within close proximity to the rid-er’s home. Accident involvement is signi� cantly reduced by the use of motorcycle headlamps, includ-ing during daylight hours, and the wearing of highly visible clothing, including yellow, orange or bright red jackets.Although this research was con-
ducted some time ago, it still un-derscores the importance of re-maining visible on the road. While leather and denim may be the tra-ditional uniform of motorcycle rid-ing, synthetic materials that have re� ective fabrics can improve vis-ibility. Highly visible colors, such as orange and yellow, are good choices when on the road. Riders also can add re� ectivity to exist-ing gear with re� ective tape. Many motorcycle riders, particu-
larly those on Harley Davidsons, swap out stock exhaust pipes for ones that emit a louder decibel range. This helps other motorists notice them.
Use the right gearWhen a rider is on the open road, he or she doesn’t have the pro-tection of a car frame to offer a buffer between the rider and the pavement should an accident oc-cur. That is why it is crucial to in-vest in quality gear that can offer a certain measure of protection. A high-quality helmet that � ts well is an important piece of safety equipment, as head and neck in-juries can result in paralysis or fatalities. Pair the helmet with goggles or glasses with safety lenses. Durable nonslip gloves will
help riders maintain a good grip on the handlebars, and boots can cover the ankles. Although it can be tempting to forgo long pants or jackets when the weather warms, doing so can lead to painful abra-sions and road burn should a fall occur. Invest in a leather jacket and pants or a high-quality, dura-ble and bright-colored material.
Additional safety precautionsAccording to Allstate(R) Insurance, 46 percent of motorcycle crashes occur at intersections. Knowing this information can help riders make more informed choices on the road. Some other important safety precautions include:• Exercise extreme caution at in-
tersections and only go through when safe.
• Test the lights, brakes and turn signals before you make any trip.
• Make sure the fuel and oil lev-els are at the correct levels.
• Know your bike’s limits.• Follow the speed limit and the
rules of the road, and do not weave in and out of traf� c.
• Don’t ride in blind spots, staying in spots where you are most vis-ible to fellow motorists.
• Always use turn signals.• Do not tailgate, as stopping
distances for motorcycles, es-pecially on slippery roads, can make stopping dif� cult.
• Never drink and ride.Emphasizing motorcycle safety can make for an injury-free riding season.

Junior golf night has begun again at Eagle River Golf Course.
The first night was on Wednesday, July 9, with 10 golfers partici-pating. The Junior Golf night is open to boys and girls from five to 15 years old, and is a fun, relaxing way to hone golf skills and learn the basics.

Roots and Blues Festival fans will once again get the chance to explore the Shuswap by taking in fine-dining, hiking, and excellent music as part of the Routes and Blues pro-gram this summer.
Routes and Blues, which consists of a number of satellite Roots and Blues con-certs across the Shus-wap, has been orga-nized this year by two students from the Neth-erlands.
Bram Terstappen and Marjon Nijdam are enrolled in an Interna-tional leisure manage-ment program and have been busy putting their learned skills to prac-tice since March by developing Routes and Blues.
“Compared to some internships, this one is really unique,” said Terstappen. “We get our freedom but have lots of support as well.”
Nijdam says that one of the best parts of the internship is being able to be involved in a proj-ect from start to finish.
Both Terstappen and Nijdam, who will
graduate after one more year of study, said they wanted to take the pro-gram because they truly enjoyed the internation-al aspect of event plan-ning.
The duo says that Routes and Blues is a great way for people to discover places they otherwise would never see.
“It gives people great insight to explore the communities,” said Terstappen. “People never go there and this lets them discover the Shuswap.”
The program kicks off on Aug. 1, with the first stop in Mara. Blues musician Sherman “The Tank” Doucette will be heating up the
evening while guests get to chow down on an organic meal of beef on a bun. Guests will also get the opportunity to bike or walk on a tour of Mara’s historic land marks and take in sto-ries of it’s history.
Sicamous is next on the Routes and Blues line-up. The day will consist of a hike that slopes down the base of a waterfall and climbs up a hillside. A good old-fashioned turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies will be served before Vancouver band Doug Andrew and The Circus in Flames per-forms. Stick around for a fireworks show after the concert.
On Aug. 3, Routes and Blues will be hit-ting Falkland. Doucette will be back to per-form, and guests will get a chance to try their very own “Sherman Doucette Tank Burger.” One of Canada’s larg-est Canadian flags is located in Falkland and guests will be taken on a hike to see it.
Next up on the agen-da is Enderby. The day will feature a historic interpretive walk and an Italian-style din-ner from 5 to 7 p.m. at Kingfisher Hall, fol-lowed by a concert fea-turing the David Vest Quartet.
Seymour Arm will be featured on Aug. 9 and will feature music by Seal Skull Hammer and Roots Roundup. The meal will consist of authentic, home-made Ukrainian food and the hike will head up towards Albas falls. Frank Riley will be
there telling stories about logging in the area.
The David Vest Quartet will be back on Aug. 10 to perform in Notch Hill. There will also be a hike at Lake Seeker and a meal of macaroni and cheese.
Routes and Blues will then head to Salm-on Arm where fans can stop by Wednesdays on the Wharf to see folk-roots rockers John and Roy. Adventurers will also want to pick up an information packet and head out on a treasure hunt at Salmon Arm Nature Bay.
This year, Routes and Blues will wind down with The Salm-on Arm Music Crawl, where musicians such as Joe Nolan and Paul Reddick will play at venues around town.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Be honest with yourself, Aries. Sometimes change can be a good thing, so take a few days to sort through all of your options. You will be glad you did.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may have to be clever to solve a particular problem this week. It will be challenging, but you are up to the task and your efforts will be their own reward.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, spend some time thinking about what you want rather than what others want for you. You may discover significant differences between the two, but do what makes you happy.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, it may take some time to get back on your feet after a stumble, but you will get there much faster if you ask a few friends for support. You know the people who have your back.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, very little can disappoint you or affect your mood. Enjoy the responsibility-free week with a free spirit. This is a great time for a vacation.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Think through all of your options before you act, Virgo. While something may seem like a good idea at first, careful thought may reveal some bumps in the road.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Work hard to earn a promotion at work, Libra. While you may need to take on more responsibility and work longer hours, the payoff will be well worth it.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, if you feel you are at a crossroads, take your time to make the best possible decision. This is a significant moment for you, and it requires focus and forethought.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, supporting a family member who deserves it has you riding high this week. This support may be emotional in nature or even financial support if you can manage.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, family activities are getting in the way of business prospects, and vice versa. You may need to make a difficult decision in the near future.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, think through the pros and cons of speaking your mind at work. Your opinions are valid, but you run the risk of alienating certain people, and that should not be taken lightly.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Approach a problem that’s been puzzling you from a different perspective, Pisces. This new way of looking at things makes all the difference.

On July 2nd our beloved mother Patsy Hacault passed away suddenly. She was our rock, our best friend and our safe harbor. Patsy touched the lives of so many with her compassion, love of everything in nature, beautiful smile and sense of humor. Though she left far too soon, we knew how much she loved us all and she knew how much she was loved.
She is survived by her daughters Sharee and Shaundra, her grandchildren whom she loved to the moon and back Colton, Keaton and Ava. Her mom Therese, her brothers Roland, Larry and Joanne (sister in-law), David, and Derek.
Mom never lost her sense of wonder and she will be missed more than words can express. Forever in our thoughts and hearts.
HACAULT, PATSY
