news/features B.C. judges get retroactive 4.9% raise To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
One group of employees that escaped the B.C. government’s caps on pay increases is the 155 provincial court judges. The judges’ association has won a court challenge of a 1.5 per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the fiscal year ended in March 2014. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent. The cost of the retroactive raise is estimated at $2.67 million for that
year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will challenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-15, which brought their salaries to $236,950. “This will have an impact on our fiscal plan,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton told reporters. “And as you know government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our philosophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally fit into the same pattern that public service salaries fit into.” Starting in 2013, the province negotiated five-year contracts with health care, social ser-
vices and other unions with raises between one and 1.5 per cent per year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the concept of “growth sharing” to achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the provincial economy exceeds independent forecasts. The judges’ association lost its initial challenge of the 2013-14 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.

Did Canadians Get What They Voted For?

he 42nd General Election for Parliament is over, thankfully. At 78 days, it was the longest election in over a century. The cost of the election calculated as the combined totals of party funds and private donations is mind-boggling and arguably was mostly a waste of money which, through donations and through Parliamentary allocations, came out of citizens’ pockets. Elections are held to produce a Parliament (federally) or a Legislative Assembly (provincially and territorially). They are the vital democratic link between citizens and government. The constitutional obligation of each elected body is to represent the people by forming a government and an opposition. The role of government is to make policy, pass legislation, and maintain the confidence of Parliament; the role of opposition is to hold government accountable and, if that government loses the confidence of the House of Commons, provide an alternative government. All parties are to be dedicated to the integrity of Parliament and the Constitution, represented by the Crown: this is why the Official Opposition is called Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. Parliament is composed of the House of Commons, the Senate, and the Crown. All parts are integral to the passage of legislation. We’ll set aside for the moment the matter of whether the Senate can or should be eliminated, and the proposition that Canada should
become a republic and eliminate the Constitutional connection with the Monarch. So how did the system work in the 2015 election? It depends on the criteria applied. Using the existing formula of the Plurality or First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system, the election produced a majority Liberal government and an Official Opposition (the Conservatives) and other opposition (the NDP, Bloc Quebecois and Green parties). Actual 2015 Election results (Plurality Electoral System) • Liberals - 184 seats, 39.5% pop. vote; • NDP - 44, 19.7% • Conservative - 99, 31.9% • Green - 1, 3.5% • Bloc Quebecois - 10, 4.7% • Other - 0, .8% • Parliamentary total - 338 Electors vote for a candidate for MP in each riding; the party with the most votes wins the riding. The votes for other parties are effectively lost because they do not count toward an elected representative. The winner wins with a plurality – that is, more votes than the nearest competitor – even if the winner does not have a majority of support. Often the other parties have more support in total than does the winner. Thus, this system is both unrepresentative and undemocratic. It also produces highly partisan Parliaments and discourages collaboration, as each party wants to win ridings and beat the competition rather than make a Parliament work. However, the
seats that each party holds as a result of the plurality system are not a very good reflection of the parties’ share of the popular vote. What would the 2015 Parliament look like if Canada used proportional representation (PR), a system which aggregates votes for each party and then produces seats in Parliament directly proportional to this share of the popular vote? 2015 Election Results under Proportional Representation • Liberals - 133 • NDP - 67 • Conservative - 108 •Green - 12 • Bloc Quebecois - 16 • Other - 2 • Parliamentary Total - 338 (numbers are rounded so total is not exact) The results under PR are more accurate and thus more democratic. Moreover, votes are not wasted as every vote is counted toward the total seats of the party. There would be some changes, however: electors would vote for a party, not for a particular MP. After the election parties would select their representatives from a ranked list. So how did the current electoral system work here? In Kootenay Columbia, the NDP’s Wayne Stetski edged out Conservative David Wilks by about 285 votes. That’s not anywhere near a majority and in fact is a minority when you consider the votes given to the Conservative, Liberal and Green candidates. This newspaper reported that
Stetski received 23,529 votes, Wilks, 23,244; Liberal candidate Don Johnston got 12,315 and the Green Party candidate Bill Green, 4,115 votes. The total non-NDP vote was 39,674. In our winner-takes-all system, however, the NDP counts Kootenay Columbia as a win and the other candidates all lose. The antidemocratic impulse of the plurality system is evident here. It was evident as voters made their decisions, too. For example, Green candidate Bill Green (no relation to this writer) heard far too many times that while voters really liked him and his party, they wouldn’t vote for him because he couldn’t win against Wilks or Stetski. Thus, the Green party lost votes as voters calculated who their next best choice was, and the Green, Liberal and Conservative votes in Kootenay Columbia are all effectively lost. That result produces a measure of cynicism in the voting public, which feeds apathy. Research shows that PR reduces partisanship in favour of collaboration among parties, because PR is structured to make Parliament work, not to secure partisan advantage. The electoral outcome more accurately reflects the wishes of voters. Interested readers can consult the Law Commission of Canada’s study of electoral systems Voting Counts: Electoral Reform for Canada (publications.gc.ca/collections/Collection/J31-61-2004E.pdf ), and Dennis Pilon’s 2007 book The Politics of Voting.

It’s petition time, folks. Perhaps now that the excitement of the federal election is over, some are just bored, or maybe it’s just that there are some ideas out there whose time has come. Currently there is a petition circulating asking Premier Christy Clark to consider abolishing Daylight Savings Time. To this, I say — where do I sign? Daylight Savings Time is an idea whose time has come and gone. It’s really not necessary anymore. Yet, we continue on with it. Why? I think the only answer anyone could come up with is ‘because’. Because we’ve done it for a long time and you know how people hate change. Because that’s just the way it is. Not good enough. It’s not as if it’s completely uniform across the country or even across the province. The northeastern corner of British Columbia, the town of Creston, three northwestern Ontario communities located in the Central Time Zone, the eastern reaches of Quebec’s North Shore, Southampton Island in Nunavut, and almost the entire province of Saskatchewan don’t observe it anymore. So enough already. I’ll sign that petition. Now another petition I can see myself getting on board with is the one circulating in Calgary, asking that Stephen Harper change his name. Kind of out of left field,
yes? Here’s the history. An ex-pat Canadian named Curtis Mullen and a Canadian who some wish would become an ex-pat, Ezra Levant, have got two petitions going saying the former Prime Minister should be honoured by renaming the Calgary Airport the Stephen J. Harper International Airport. It’s been done before, although opponents argue that when other Prime Ministers have been thus Carolyn honoured, it’s been postGrant humously. Nevertheless, the petitions are gaining steam. Also gaining steam? A counter petition that says rather than renaming the airport, we should rename Stephen Harper. He would henceforth be known as Calgary International Airport. It’s all good fun, and Twitter of course, has been having a field day. “That awkward moment when you show up at gate C51 at the #HarperAirport.” tweets Lindsey Locke. Stephen Lautens tweets, “#HarperAirport, where every flight is magic. Because we don’t believe in science. Andrew Tumilty — “If you get bumped off your flight at #HarperAirport Nigel Wright gives you 90,000 air miles.” Richard Feren — “Welcome to #HarperAirport. I’m sorry, sir, but I’m afraid your flight is ... just not ready.” Hee. I could do this all day.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Okay, one more. Kim May — “at #HarperAirport you won’t need baggage, they have plenty.” My point, besides the fact that the best jokes are to be found on Twitter, is that with internet access, anyone can put up a petition. Everyone has a cause. Take one Viktor Crespo of Jacksonville Florida. His cause is tacos. His petition, directed at Taco Bell says, “Give Customers a Minimum of Two Hot Sauce Packets Per Taco, Burrito or other Entree Ordered.” Laura Ustick of Chicago wants changes as well. Her petition, which I might add 382 people have already signed is as follows: “I humbly request that you add a hotdog symbol to the emoji set, and furthermore ketchup shall not be used in the making of this hot dog emoji.” Seems a pretty straight-forward request. Get on it, emoji people. Also, almost 25,000 people have signed a petition requesting that Weird Al Yankovich perform at the Super Bowl halftime. There’s a world of great petitions out there, dear readers, and some great causes to support. Yes, some are a waste of time, but others support causes I could really get behind. Like abolishing daylight savings time. And maybe having Stephen Harper change his name to Calgary International Airport. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

A pair of Cranbrook-raised soccer stars have earned college accolades for their efforts as a part of SAIT Trojans athletics. Erin White and Mike Hamm, both graduates of Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook, had their names called this past weekend as the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference
(ACAC) presented its North and South All-Conference teams. For Hamm, it was his first time being named to the South All-Conference team. The 5-foot-11 defender is in his fourth year with the Trojans men’s soccer program. In eight regular season games, Hamm struck for two goals as the Trjoans went 8-2-0
before falling to the NAIT Ooks in the bronze medal game at the ACAC Men’s Soccer Championship in Fort McMurray, Alta. Hamm was named Trojans player of the game as SAIT wrapped up a fourth-place finish. Hamm’s performance was also recognized early in the season as he was named SAIT Trojans Male Athlete of

the Week (Sept. 19 to 20). For White, this marked her second consecutive selection to the ACAC South All-Confer-
ence team, with her first recognition coming in 2014. White, a 5-foot-11 defender in her third year at SAIT, played in all 10 regular season games for the Trojans. Finishing the season 0-7-3, White and the Trojans missed out on the ACAC Women’s Soccer Championship in Grande Prairie, Alta. White was named the
SAIT Trojans Female Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 2 to 4. SAIT Polytechnic is located in Calgary and SAIT Athletics is a member of the 17-school ACAC. The ACAC is the governing body for intercollegiate athletics in Alberta. Its mission is to provide competitive collegiate sport experiences, promote academic
achievement and be a leader of sport development in Canada. Notes: Jordan Revie, another native of Cranbrook, was named SAIT Trojans Trojan of the Week (Sept. 25 to 26) for his performance as the unsung hero for the Trojans men’s hockey team. Revie is in his first year with the Trojans and has recorded two goals and three points in six games.
Volleyball returns to College of the Rockies after Avalanche open season on road Men look to bag second victory, while ladies hope to end winless start as Columbia Bible College Bearcats visit Cranbrook
Taylor Rocc a
The College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s and women’s volleyball squads opened their respective 2015-16 PACWEST campaigns on the road this past weekend, visiting Capilano University and Douglas College. The men managed to scrape out two points Thursday, Oct. 29, edging out the Capilano Blues in five sets (21-25, 22-25, 27-25, 25-13, 15-9) before dropping their next three matches. “We made some adjustments with positional stuff and made some
mental thoughts about remaining positive and not getting down on ourselves and we ended up battling back,” said John Swanson, head coach of the Avalanche volleyball program, Tuesday afternoon regarding the play of his men’s team Thursday at Capilano. The following night, the Blues exacted revenge with a four-sets victory. From there, the Avs visited Douglas College, falling to the Royals in back-to-back outings Oct. 31 (four sets) and Nov. 1 (straight sets). “We started out well [at Douglas College] and
then our blocking got poor and with that, our defensive coverage wasn’t great,” Swanson said. “We didn’t know how to set up around the block. A combination of poor blocking and not good enough servicing.” While the men put two points up, bumping them into fifth place in the seven-team PACWEST standings, the Lady Avs went winless through four matches and sit last in the PACWEST Conference. The Lady Avs dropped back-to-back four-set contests against Capilano, before bat-
tling hard in a five-sets defeat against Douglas College on Halloween.
“Unfortunately, going 0-4 wasn’t what we were hoping for,” Swanson said. “But we learned a lot. We experienced a lot. We battled. “Losing is unfortunate, but the compete
level was there. Capilano is a strong team. They finished third last year and they’re the same kind of team [this year] so we knew it was going to be tough. “Fatigue set in [Sunday]. It’s very, very tough for the teams, after four full days, to stay mentally up.” Wrapping up the trip, the ladies suffered a second consecutive defeat against the Royals, this one in four sets Nov. 1. “I’ve said it to the ladies over and over and over and over -- blocking is going to be a key thing for us,” Swanson
said. “If we can be effective blocking, we’re going to be able to compete with all the teams. “Defensively we’re quite strong and offensively were quite strong.” While the season may not have begun the way Swanson hoped it might for both his squads, the Avs return home with an opportunity to build some energy on home court this weekend. “Taking care of home-court advantage will be huge with both [the men and women],” Swanson said. “Honestly, we have the best fan support in
the PACWEST. That’s a huge advantage for us.” The Avalanche welcome the Columbia Bible College Bearcats to College of the Rockies this weekend. In men’s play, the Bearcats (0-6) sit in the PACWEST basement. On the ladies side of competition, the Bearcats (1-5) are in sixth place -- one slot ahead of the Avalanche. The women hit the court first Friday (6 p.m.) and Saturday (1 p.m.), while the men wrap up the festivities Friday (8 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.).

Handcrafted Treasures & Tasty Treats
HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Enjoy a child or loved one today. Make extra time for this person, or take him or her out for lunch. Your invitation will be appreciated; consider repeating the gesture in the near future if all goes well. Allow your creative side to express itself. Tonight: Have a ball. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You put more pressure on yourself than is necessary. You might not like what is happening around you, but understand that you can’t successfully make any long-term changes right now. You can control only yourself and no one else. Tonight: Order your favorite pizza. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) By catching up with neighbors, you’ll learn a lot about what is going on in your community. You will feel knowledgeable when you wrap up these conversations. Make an effort to return calls and reach out to friends who have been MIA. Tonight: At a favorite local spot.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Curb a tendency to be possessive. Some of you will go off on a spending spree if you aren’t careful. You might promise yourself not to do this again, yet there appears to be another shopping trip on the horizon. At least keep the tags and receipts. Tonight: Your treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your magnetism could cause you a lot of trouble. Be careful when handling others’ feelings. You might not intend to hurt someone, but with everything that is heading your way, it is likely to happen. You can apologize only so much. Tonight: Watch what goes on around you! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Maintain a low profile. Know that any decisions made or conversations had might need to happen again in the near future. It is as if everyone is elsewhere in their heads, even though they appear to be present. Do something just for you. Tonight: What would make you happy? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deferring to friends might feel
Tundra
OK right now, but the fact is that you won’t make the impression you would like to make. Others could forget about your gesture quickly, and you will have to repeat it in some way. Still, make the effort. Tonight: Where your pals are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might think that you are doing an excellent job assuming the role of leader, and you really could be. However, those you lead might not get your message and head out in different directions. Adjust your style, if need be. Tonight: Catch up on a back-burner project. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your mind seems to drift to different realms and other people. You inadvertently could cause yourself a problem, which is the last thing you intend to do. Try to gain a better understanding of a situation when you have some alone time. Tonight: Where there is music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be wondering about a decision you are about to make. More information could
be forthcoming in the next 48 hours. Don’t push yourself until you are 100 percent sure. Get feedback from someone first. Tonight: Take a loved one to a favorite place. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allow someone else to take the lead. You might complain a little at first, but if you are honest with yourself, you know you don’t have the same drive to carry out this matter that he or she does. With so much going on around you, you will feel popular. Tonight: Take a back seat! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your best bet is to isolate yourself from others, especially if you want to do a little of this and a little of that. Others might not understand, and could become critical without realizing it. Thank them for feedback, and hold your tongue. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to “Bruno” for 40 years. During this time, I have found his various porn magazines hidden in multiple places. My reaction has always been to throw them away and not mention it. A few months ago, I again found his stash, but this time I left them where he had them hidden. I have discovered that he takes the magazines out to look at the women every time I leave the house. Every single time! I feel like he is cheating on me. It’s very disturbing. Bruno is otherwise a great guy, but that doesn’t make his actions acceptable to me. Evidently, he is never going to stop this behavior and I don’t think I can live with it. Now what? -- Not Good Enough Dear Enough: For 40 years, you’ve put up with this. Now that you know Bruno is looking at the pictures more frequently than you suspected, you are ready to call it a day. What did you think he was doing with those magazines? Reading the articles? Please understand that, distasteful as it is, Bruno’s porn fascination has nothing to do with you. And frankly, there is so much Internet porn these days, including live video, that checking out girlie magazines seems fairly benign. We aren’t condoning Bruno’s porn habit, but it doesn’t seem to be the type of serious addiction that makes some men spend enormous amounts of time and money looking for increasingly active methods of stimulation. Please ask yourself whether Bruno been a good husband. Does he pay attention to you? Does he treat you well? Does he help support you financially and emotionally? Is he a good companion? The magazine porn is only one part of your life and it doesn’t have to be the most important part. Please talk to Bruno about this. Tell him how much it bothers you. Ask whether he would make a sincere effort to stop. Try S-Anon (sanon.org) for spouses of porn addicts. Get counseling if you need it. We don’t think this is worth throwing away 40 years of an otherwise good marriage. Dear Annie: I could have written the same letter as “Hopeless and Confused,” who said she’s been married for 24 years to a man who doesn’t show any affection and responds to her requests for deep, meaningful talks with text messages. Please tell her to run, don’t walk, to a counselor knowledge in diagnosing Asperger’s syndrome. Our counselor helped me move past my 30 years of pain and resentment, helped my husband to understand the ramifications and frustrations of his condition, and best of all, taught us how to lower expectations and move forward in our marriage. We are joyfully celebrating anniversary 37 in November! -- RA in PA Dear RA: Thank you for suggesting this possibility. Asperger’s syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and common symptoms include difficulty with social skills and communication. You could be right about this man, and “Hopeless” should look into it. More information is available through aspergersyndrome.org, autismspeaks. org and autism-society.org.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand
extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America

NEWS
Proportional representation Continued from page 1 Fair Vote Canada (campaign2015.fairvote. ca) is an excellent online source of information about PR. And with this calibre of information we don’t need more studies. Clearly the Liberals benefited this time from the plurality system. However, during the election the party promised democratic reforms, saying “2015 will be the last federal election conducted under
the first-past-thepost voting system”. The NDP — which was hurt the most by the plurality system — and the Green Party promised to immediately adopt proportional representation if they formed government. The Conservatives said they would keep the current system. Will the Liberals deliver on their promise now, or will they move to study the matter into oblivion? Wait and see.
Governments tend to lose their appetite for change when the status quo serves their partisan interests well. But democracy is not served well by our electoral system, and surely democracy is more important than narrow partisan interests. Joyce Green is Professor of Political Science on faculty at the University of Regina, currently living in Cranbrook.

Remembrance Day Three crashes near Skookumchuk Monday is upon service is on as usual us,Winter drive to the C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
As more and more of the traditional sponsors of Kimberley’s Remembrance Day service are no longer operating — such as the Legion Branch and the Air Cadet Squadron — it’s up to the community to keep it going. And the community is doing just that. This year’s service will go at the same time and place as every year — the Cenotaph at 11 a.m. The parade will muster in front of
the Elks Hall on Howard Street at 10:30 a.m. and march off through the Platzl at 10:45 a.m. Any groups such as Boy Scouts or Girl Guides who wish to march should meet at that time. The Kimberley Fire Department will be there, along with Kimberley RCMP Detachment members, the Kimberley Pipe Band and the Kimberley Community Band. The Elks Club will provide the colour guard. After the service the community is invited for lunch at Steve Nash Hall at the Elks Club.

conditions and get those snow tires on FOR THE BULLE TIN
We have enjoyed a very nice fall but winter hit Monday afternoon on highway 93/95 near Skookumchuck creating hazardous road condi-
tions, reports Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel. “Kimberley RCMP responded to three collisions in a short period of time due to a weather system that struck the area creating very slippery conditions,” he said. “Freezing rain and snow confined to a short section of highway caused the poor conditions. The first vehicle went off the
road and rolled, a second vehicle went into the ditch managed to get out but was struck by a third vehicle. There were no serious injuries but the potential was there.” Police would like to remind drivers that winter is upon us and driving conditions can change in an instant depending on weather patterns. Also police recommend proper winter

tires. All season M+S tires with adequate tread are acceptable but they are not designed for cold or severe conditions like we experience in the Kootenays. “For the safety of you and your family please ensure you have the right tires, it could make the difference whether you are involved in a crash or not,” Newel said.

Another great Home Grown evening
Kimberley Homegrown Music Centre 64 October 24 JOHN ALLEN For the Bulletin
A wonderful evening of music and friendship began at 8 p.m. last Saturday in Theatre 64. Bill St. Armand was the very capable MC and aside from one awful cannibal joke, he did very well. Rod Wilson and Wally Smith led off on guitar and small accordion. Included were two waltzes, one from Australia; sadly, nobody danced. Nick Skibsted, yet another of Arne’s many students, ably presented three piano pieces, finishing with The Entertainers. Wild Honey followed with three songs; lead Laura Cain played guitar and sang, Jessica Neidermayer also sang, while Shelby Knutson played a fine violin. All three were in harmony on their last number “I’m Losin’ Life”. Jim Marshall finished up the first half with his great guitar picking. A Latin picking tune, then a self-composed funny ode called “My iPhone”: “Check the weather, watch the news. I can play any game I choose.” He finished up with more intricate guitar on a song about marriage split up “Days Are Done” “Now you’re gone. It ain’t easy Baby. There ain’t nothin’ left to say.” Based on statistics, applause and the feeling in the room, at least half the audience related to that one. Intermission feature more large-calorie treats served by the smiling duo of Lorna and Suzanne. The second half began
with Tamara Sonntag, a prairie emigre. She featured a self-written piece re hiking and camping, “A Bear Ate Pierre”. He apparently ate a number of others too. Maybe we don’t want to go hiking with Tamara? Next was the most soulful performance of the evening, Mac Ramsay singing along to his talented guitar playing. He did three songs: “Thinking About You” by Frank Ocean, “All In My Head” by Tori Kelly and his own composition “I Was Never Much”. This last was a contradiction, because Mac’s was perhaps the most striking performance of the evening, with voluminous haunting imagery. Next Maddie Keiver and Kyle Albright on guitar and voice produced three original Kurtis Levent and Robin Pereira. songs. “My Little Eye”, then a blues song “Blue Cove” (She has a very fine blues voice). For their final number Maddie played her pretty Squeir Mini Stratocaster electric guitar “Souls” along with Kyle. Robin Pereira, recently moved to Kimberley, closed the evening with his strong voice. For his final number was he was joined by Kurtis Levent (“The Frog”). Robin played guitar and sang, while Kurtis interspersed his scat or was it rap? A very varied evening of music with many fine voices, eight guitars, piano, violin, squeezebox and one awful cannibal joke. The audience went away happy, impressed and satisfied. Kimberley is very fortunate to have these Homegrown evenings, produced by Carol Fergus and assisted by Terry on lights and Ray on sound. Don’t miss the next one 8 p.m. Saturday November 28 at Centre 64. Buy your tickets early at The Snowdrift MC Bill St Armand Café or Centre 64.
