imagine sitting front row, soaking in the melodic sounds of famous and soon to be famous musicians from around the globe. up close and personal, the musician stops, maybe even mid song to give you the story behind the lyrics and the inspiration that drives them to the melody. it’s not too often that you can get this close to the person behind the music but it is becoming more common-place thanks to programs like home routes.

“we read something in bC Musician Magazine about home routes,” explains shawn haley and his wife robyn, owners and opera-tors of erwin’s bakery here in down-town Kamloops. “we thought it was a neat idea but then promptly forgot all about it. robyn then found it again in reader’s digest and sug-gested we do it. so we made it hap-pen and are so happy we did. it’s just awesome!”

home routes is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the love of music and to making music more accessible to a greater number of people and to supporting the artists that make the music.

it is an organized approach to plan-ning home-based shows that ensures a fun time for the presenter and the artist. world-class musicians, known and unknown alike, perform complete concerts in the comfortable intimacy of private homes and other non-traditional spaces. The concerts are fun to attend, fun to present, and fun to

play. Just imagine your living room as a concert hall with 25 to 40 of your closest friends and their clos-est friends gathered for an evening of great music. imagine great artists delivering the same show in your living room that they would present on the Main stage of a folk festival or a concert hall. all it takes is you having the ability to find guests to invite to your shows and hosting the musician or musicians in your home for one night.

“we officially joined home routes last season,” continues shawn. “The whole thing is very casual and very communal. we have had shows with as few as 12 guests and as many as 32. it is so relaxed and so intimate. people are literally sitting three feet away from world-class musicians. There is just no comparing the qual-ity of music. To hear them in such a small space is amazing. usually the musicians come over at about 5:00 p.m., they relax, we feed them din-ner, they set up for the show, take a little time for themselves, do the show and chat. The next morning, we feed them breakfast and then they are on their way to their next location. it has been an unbelievably positive experience for us. it changes

the way you listen to music.”it’s positive on both sides, as musicians love it because it gives

them a chance to tour the area, making a little money on the way

CONTINENTAL RIDEHigh school friends (L-R) Billy Fan, Colin McKay, Braydon York and Patrick Block are heading out on the ride of a lifetime that they have planned for two years. These Saskatchewan boys will be taking the next eight months to tour from Canada to Central America on their Kawasakis. In order to keep family and friends up to date they will be posting on their blog simplylivingonaklr.blogspot.com, and to keep their family from worrying they’ve invested in a spot tracker. This is a personal satellite GPS messager that will provide location-based communication to their friends and family.

The four left Saskatoon on Sept. 20 and are riding KLR-650’s because the basic parts on the bikes have gone unchanged since 1987. The boys were inspired by the mini-series “Long Way Round”, which featured Ewan McGreggor and Charley Boorman who embarked on an epic challenge to bike across 12 countries and 19 times zones in just 115 days.

Farewell to old time fiddler founderKamloops old Time Fiddlers members and friends

gathered recently to bid farewell to Leo ready, a founding member of the Kamloops branch of the british Columbia old Time Fiddlers’ association. Leo has returned to his hometown of pembroke, ontario and will be sorely missed.

it was in 1982 that Leo and art waite, with the help of a handful of other musicians, organized the Kamloops branch. in 1983 the group officially became a branch of the british Columbia old Time Fiddlers’ association. The purpose of this branch, along with 12 others in b.C., is to preserve and promote the art of old time fiddling.

Leo has contributed a tremendous amount of his time and energy to old Time Fiddling of british Columbia for the past 30 years. he served as president for 11 years, vice-president for four years and also as a director. at the provincial level, he served the association for 24 years, 11 of them as president. he was a driving force behind the committee to establish the first b.C. fiddle camp, which still operates annually at gavin Lake. he was honored with a Life Membership in the b.C. old Time Fiddlers’ association in May of 2004.

For the last 27 years the branch has hosted an old Time Fiddle Contest on the first weekend in May. Leo served as the event’s chairperson for 25 of those 27 years. Leo himself competed in many contests in the province and won numerous trophies and plaques. he was also chosen to represent b.C. at the Canadian grand Masters Fiddling Championships in ontario on several occasions.

The Kamloops old Time Fiddlers, in addition to playing at dances at heritage house twice a month, on the first and third saturday nights of each month, often entertain

at many of the senior homes in Kamloops. The residents of pine grove, overlander extended Care, ridgeview Lodge, and The hamlets, to name a few, look forward to these occasions when the fiddlers come with their lively entertainment.

if you enjoy the old time style of fiddling you are invited to come out to some of the practices and become involved. practices are now being held each sunday at 7:00 p.m. at heritage house. if you would like further information, contact Clark hiles at 250-376-6209.

RYGA AWARD FOR WAGAMESE

Local author Richard Wagamese has won the 2011 George Ryga Award, for his book One Story, One Song. This prize is given to a B.C. writer who has achieved an outstanding degree of social awareness in a new book. “Wagamese artfully weaves sixty-some short essays into an unpretentious philosophy of life rooted in personal observations and experiences, transposing an understanding of traditional Ojibway principles (humility, trust, introspection and wisdom) into modern-day life,” said Andrew Steves of Gaspereau Press, one of the award judges. Wagamese was selected from a shortlist of five books, and received his prize this past Saturday at an award ceremony in Summerland.

Farewell to a wonderful citizenKamloops blazers’ long-time

billet co-coordinator doris rubel passed away last week. doris’ con-tribution to the Kamloops sports scene is immeasurable. in 2005, doris was selected as a Kamloops blazers legend, and in 2010 she was selected to the Kamloops sports hall of Fame.

doris was a billet co-ordinator in Kamloops for well over 40 years, making a signifi-cant impact on the lives of many young hockey players. her ser-vice originates to the 1960’s when she worked with the Craft Kings,

braves, rockets, Chiefs, Jr. oilers and the blazers, coordinating find-ing a roof for every other player on every junior hockey team in

Kamloops.“The passing of doris

is extremely difficult to hear,” says general Manager, Craig bonner. “doris has impacted myself personally, and the hundreds of young

junior hockey players that have played in Kamloops. she was a remarkable person, and will be dearly missed by the organization and every junior hockey player who has been through Kamloops.”

no matter what side of the political spec-trum you sit on, what your thoughts on war are, no matter how old you are or if you have children, everyone should take a few minutes out of their day this upcoming Thursday, July 28 and head down to riverside park to take a look at the portraits of honour tour that will be rolling into town that day.“157 Canadian soldiers have died in combat in afganistan,” explains portraits of honour artist dave sopha. “The portraits of honour national Tour is centred on a 10’ x 35’ oil painted mural featuring the hand painted por-traits of the 155 Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew who have lost their lives while serving in afghanistan. The last two have lost their lives since the tour has started and their por-traits will be in progress along the way.”The mural has taken Kinsmen and volunteer artist dave sopha over 6,500 hours so far to paint but admits that his work won’t be com-plete until our combat mission in afghanistan comes to a close. The mural will be toured across Canada in a specialized mobile display trailer and organizers expect to raise over $1.5 million. The funds raised will support the Military Families Fund and established military charities to assist families of the fallen and to assist the thousands of military personnel who return home with physical or emotional injuries. organizers will also seek to fund other charities who offer additional troop and family support that falls outside of the Military Families Fund mandate.although the journey across Canada only started this May, the whole project has beengoing much longer. it all started back in

2008 while dave’s nephew was serving in afganistan. “in 2008 my nephew was on his 2nd or 3rd tour in afganistan,” he explains. “we would watch and read the news and hear of fallen soldiers, we always had our fingers crossed that it wasn’t sean and were happy to find out it wasn’t him. i was ashamed to be happy at someone else’s loss as these soldiers are somebody’s child. These postage stamp

size pictures did not give these soldiers justice so i went out and had a special made canvas created and painted bigger than life portraits of all of our fallen soldiers. The response has been overwhelming.”More than coming to see his work, dave hopes that people come out in every city to show support for those families who have lost

dents make their way to riverside

park every Tuesday through

saturday. These university stu-

dents are andrew Crabbe, Kirsten

Council’s rivertown players.

“Join the rivertown players

proportions – physical comedy,

songs, and interactive fun with

each character telling their own

company is only two years old

mers and this season is no excep-

tion. The talented theatre group

stages live theatre shows for kids

of all ages twice daily at riverside

park and special performances

elsewhere throughout the summer

including every day of the western

Canada summer games.

“it’s a lot of fun,” explains

Kirsten. “we’ve all gone to school

to do this. it is great working expe-

rience.” “To get a job within the-

atre in the summer is really good.

There are not many opportuni-

really nice,” finishes andrew.

everything from build the sets and

learning first hand what it takes

to put on a show will help these

young adults for years into their

designing and producing. what

they came up with was two dif-

i think i hear the school bell ringing and with that all too familiar sound comes lunch making, extra curricular activities, home-work and the hardest job a parent has to do, which is encouraging and guiding theirchild through another school year.Like everyone else, children are all indi-viduals; there are kids like my daughter who love school with a capital L, there are kids like my son who are extremely brilliant but just the thought of going to school makes them weep inside. how oh how do you con-vince your children that working hard now and taking an active part in what could be viewed as the most important period in life is something that is worth it for them to do?well no one person has an exact answerfor that but by learning what is importantto your child sometimes you can think cre-atively and motivate them with something they do care about. Just ask north shoreresident and grandpa harry Madden. at the spry young age of 79, harry promised his granddaughter rose douglas, a north shorehigh school student, that if she buckleddown and took an active role in her educa-tion that he would do the unthinkable (to him that is) and get his ear pierced.“i am not a jewelry man,” laughs harry. “i have gone my whole life only wearing a wedding band and sometimes a watch. iam definitely against any kind of piercing. iagreed to get an earring just to motivate my little granddaughter.”The good news – it worked. harry gave his granddaughter a reason to stop procras-

tinating and that little push made her standup and take an active role in her life. sheworked hard and made the semester honour roll for the first time in her life.“she got on the honour roll,” continuedharry, “and i had to put my money where my big mouth is. i didn’t know it was a semester system. i thought i would have been a year until she reached her goal but he got it on the

very first one. she got on the honour roll and i got an earring. she says it’s cute, but i don’t know about that. you have to do anything you can for your children. it’s as simple as that. you do what you have to do to help guide them through life.”The moral of the story is as a parent you need to be an active participant in your– continued on page 2

Origin and history of Thanksgiving Day in CanadaThanksgiving in Canada was

introduced by an english explorer called Martin Frobisher in 1578. he organized a formal ceremony in newfoundland when he failed to find a route to the northern passage to the orient. The event was organized to celebrate his safe return from the long journey. This ceremony is considered to be the first Canadian Thanksgiving. over the years several changes were made to the dates for cel-ebrating the occasion. in the year 1931, armistice day was renamed as remembrance day. since then

second Monday in the month of october is celebrated as the official ‘Thanksgiving day’ in Canada.

An industrious turkey farmeran industrious turkey farmer was

always experimenting with breed-ing to perfect a better turkey. his family was fond of the leg portion for dinner and there were never enough legs for everyone.

after many frustrating attempts, the farmer was relating the results of his efforts to his friends at the general store get together. “well i finally did it! i bred a turkey that

has six legs!”They all asked the farmer how it

tasted.“i don’t know,” said the farmer. “i

never could catch the damn thing!”

Stuffed turkeyyoung roger was sitting in his

grandmother’s kitchen, watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.

“what are you doing?” roger asked.

“oh, i’m just stuffing the turkey”, his grandmother replied.

“That’s cool!” roger said.“are you going to hang it next to

the deer?”

Thanksgiving Q&AQ: what did the turkey say before it was roasted?a: boy! i’m stuffed!

They won’t admit they’re friends after Thanksgiving!

It’s a full moon this Thanksgiving!

Turkeys will thaw in the morn-ing, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190̊F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.

during the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce cre-ates slippery spots on the other. please pass the gravy.

a weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for

the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. during the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34̊F in the refrigerator.

Looking ahead to Friday and saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be estab-lished. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. we expect a warming trend where soup develops. by early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

A delicious forecast for Oct. 10

Reasons college kids go home10. you’ll know that your turkey is a butterball rather than a grade e yet semi-edible fur ball.9. your mother will not be serving your mashed potatoes and stuff-ing with an ice cream scooper.8. pumpkin pie is a great alterna-tive to green Jello.7. after your eighth glass of cider, your emergency dash to the bath-room will not be delayed by hav-ing to line the seat with toilet paper.6. Clean underwear, comfortable bed, access to a car, bedroom larger than a 12x14 cell...oK, even if it is for only four days.5. To eat your meals the only trek you’ll have to make is from the couch to the kitchen, rather than the dorm to the dining hall...in below freezing weather. 4. instead of listening to “when i first started teaching here...”

you can be entertained by “when your mother was your age...” and “during the depression we weren’t lucky enough to have brussel sprouts. hell, all we could afford was the sprout!”3. you can eat your corn steamed with butter rather than popped in your microwave.2. you’ll know the hair in the shower drain is your own.1. you won’t be eating your Thanksgiving meal off a tray!

Think twice before you say something you might regret later. Let others know what your intentions are and be honest in your approach.SAGITTARIUS (nov 23-dec 21) real estate ventures will be to your ad vantage. Look at your options before making commitments that could jeopardize your financial position. Travel and communication will be lu-crative for you. Get help to finish a project if you need it.CAPRICORN (dec 22-Jan 20) your creative ability will surface, giv-ing you good ideas for ways of making money. Matters pertaining to your home environment will be favorable if you are direct. involvement in financial schemes will be followed by losses. You mustn’t be so trusting.AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) you should want to feel good about your-self and your goals. you need to clear up some important personal docu-ments before the end of the year. your lover may be annoyed if you have been flirtatious or not attentive to their needs.PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Talk to someone you trust if you need advice about broaching the subject. Visit friends you don’t get to see that often. don’t spend too much on products that promise amazing cosmetic re-sults. use your innovative mind to surprise youngsters.ARIES (Mar 21-april 20) you may not have the same ideas when it comes to what you both enjoy. your high energy will enable you to enlist the help of those in a position to back you. double check your work and be sure that your boss is in a good mood before you do your presentation.TAURUS (apr 21-May 21) you must take care of health problems that have been lingering. romance will come through involvement with fund-raising organizations. expect your workload to be heavy. problems with your mate will develop if you don’t let them have their way.GEMINI (May 22-June 21) if everyone wants to do their own thing, let them.
