Smith County Rescue Squad SCRS said the incident happened when one of the kayakers overturned Crews were dispatched to Happy Hollow at around 1:41 p.m Saturday for a report of kayakers in the water hanging on to a tree SCRS said the dam had at least two generators on making the water very swift and fast-moving Crews also did not know if the victims were wearing lifejackets so they knew they needed to work quick and get to them as quick as possible Rescue crews quickly launched a boat into the river and found three people hanging onto tree roots near the bank SCRS said rescue personnel were able to tie the boat off below the three kayakers and get out of the boat and onto the bank to reach them The three victims were wearing lifejackets so crews were able to use ropes to move each person upstream to a low point were they could be safely removed from the water When they were rescued and out of the water SCRS said the kayakers had been in the water for about an hour and were very cold and weak An ambulance was dispatched to the area to assess and treat the kayakers The kayaks were also later retrieved and returned to the owners SCRS said this incident could have ended very differently if the kayakers had not been wearing lifejackets PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR THOSE LIFE JACKETS because life jackets make a difference,” SCRS said Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4

(Missoula Current) A 16-acre parcel on the Clark Fork River could become the city's newest open space purchase if the City Council approves the acquisition in the coming weeks Conservation and Parks Committee took the first step in doing that by setting a public hearing in early May While the property covers 16.5 acres and sits outside of city limits but it's close enough that advocates believe the purchase would provide a community benefit “We always look at the open space cornerstones and also whether or not it complies and fits within the values and needs identified in the Open Space Plan,” said Zac Covington the city's open space programs manager “This project is definitely right on the river corridor It's arguably one of the highest priorities.” The so-called Tipp property sits east of Missoula and the Clark Fork River The Kim Williams Trail abuts the property and could provide public access to the water The project's total cost is roughly $230,000 though the landowner would donate $117,000 to win naming rights The Open Space Bond would cover the remaining $112,000 in costs A majority of the property sits in the floodplain “Some kind of supportive recreational business could be allowed on the property,” Covington said “But the landowner's preference is definitely for protecting it as open space and for allowing public access.” The open space advisory committee voted 7-3 in favor of the proposal in February the current owner Bryan Tipp would name property after his father Ray Tipp a former Missoula attorney and member of the Missoula Irrigation District City ordinance allows for naming fights if one donates 51% or more of the total value of the property A 16-acre parcel on the Clark Fork River could become the city's newest open space purchase if the City Council approves the acquisition in the coming weeks.\nRead More LACEY — A Forked River man died Wednesday after his pickup truck overturned on the 2800 block of Dover Road after midnight died at the
