Thunderbirds compete at weather interrupted Elk Lake Spring Regatta in Victoria - University of British Columbia Athletics

A pioneering figure in Salmon Arm rowing has added another chapter to her competitive career, with Doris Mills winning two gold medals at the 2026 World Masters Rowing Regatta. A longtime advocate for rowing in the Shuswap and a founding member of the Salmon Arm Rowing Club, Mills was among several Canadian athletes competing at the World Masters, held Sept. 9–13 on Lake Bled, in Bled, Slovenia.

An October nor'easter is developing in the Atlantic, where it will bring high surf, rip currents, coastal flooding, winds and rain to parts of the East Coast for several days this week. The National Hurricane Center has it highlighted as an area to watch this week for potential subtropical development. However, regardless of development, this system will bring dangerous conditions to the East Coast this week. Fortunately, this system doesn't look to be as strong as the one in September. But the bad news? It could linger for much of the week, so impacts could have a longer duration than you would think. There are currently coastal flood alerts across parts of coastal North Carolina and Virginia, where anywhere from 1 to 4 feet of inundation is possible. Key takeawaysWe do not expect this storm to be as strong as the late September nor'easter. The area most likely impacted the longest appears to be from the Delmarva Peninsula to eastern North Carolina, with more models pointing to primarily eastern North Carolina.
