Jump

  We were sponsored; to spend a evening by the Little Shuswap Indian Band to see the play "JUMP" and it was an incredible, great toe tapping, entertainment and the food..... the food was great! The Little Shuswap Indian Band, invited all those people- who have helped in the community; such as volunteers and others who have made a difference in their community. The show starts out with a big band segment and works its way through a variety of jazz and blues tunes with segments of history on a variety of players. The band (bass, guitar, sax and drums) was very professional and tight; Diane Lines as the enter piece playing piano, narrating and singing. What a energetic center piece she is tickling ivories and belting out as well as being as soft as silk.
   As well Gorts Gouda cheese and the deliciously full wines of  our own Celista Winery were available for tasting.
   A full appreciation to the Little Shuswap Indian Band, Gorts Gouda and Celista Winery for giving us a most enjoyable time!!!!!!

All Canidates meeting

    Last night I came to a packed house !!! for the North Shuswap all candidates meeting; people really care! This is really good. Recalling my first all candidates meeting, there were only about 20 people then . It was mentioned that the turnout is because people are much better informed now than they were, or because the Osprey Landing debate has raised a level of input. Either way it is a breath of fresh air. People were polite and the candidates respectful of each other. Due to the complexity of the issues, thoughtful questions could not all be answered in depth. .
     From what I could gather, any one of them would be good Directors; I think they all have a level of interest in the community. The most impresive speaker was Terry White who has had little exposure in the community, it was nice to hear him. David Baxter was relaxed and spoke very well with short speeches (always appreciated by the public). Larry Morgan was not a polished public speaker, however he did get his good ideas across when not reading from his prepared papers.
     For a variety of reasons I feel Larry would best represent the North Shuswap residents and carry out the job most effectively.
