I have heard it said that our Village would benefit from having a “Theme”. To that end, I offer these thoughts. It seems to me that our Community is well positioned to capitalize on and develop our strengths so that we become widely known for our “Greenness”. We are so fortunate to have the GREENEST School in CANADA (Yay, Students!), the loveliest and greenest public plantings (Yay, public works!), the Greenest main street (Yay, Chamber and Businesses!) and in May, the Greenest Citizens (Yay, Gratitude Committee!). Isn’t it logical to expand on that as we search for an identity for our Community? I think we are an excellent fit for the “Communities In Bloom” program, for instance. It is geared to judging communities by size and promotes Community Involvement, Tidiness, Environmental Action,

Surfacing by Margaret Atwood
A woman returns to the wilderness to look for her father, who hasn’t been seen near his isolated home for quite some time. She goes to look for him, so she thinks in her conscious mind, but what she is seems to be seeking is a more tangible, a more real, part of herself. Her self that was left in another part of her life, near a lake that

2. Whisk in the sherry, chicken broth, and milk, then add the spinach, green onion, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly, then reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until the spinach is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with shrimp to serve.
Directions: 1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook until the mixture turns a darker yellow color, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes.

Obituary
Lorna May (Austin) Barnhardt
May 2nd, 1920 to May 8th, 2015 Lorna, the longest-glowing light of our lives, died at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on May 8th. She was ninety-five. The daughter of North Shuswap pioneers, Bert and Lulu Austin, in 1920, Lulu travelled from their homestead by carriage, boat, and train to the Salmon Arm Hospital to give birth to Lorna. Lorna attended the one-room schoolhouse at Magna Bay until, as a teenager she boarded in Kamloops, where she became trained as a secretary at St. Ann’s Academy. These skills led to jobs in Kamloops, Vancouver, and Ottawa, yet even as she stretched her wings her heart remained at Magna Bay. In 1946 Lorna met and married the love of her life, Alan Bertrand Barnhardt, a paratrooper returning from war. They had three children, including a son and twin daughters, and after living in Vancouver for a couple of years they settled on a corner of family property at Magna Bay. The tragic death of Alan eight years after they were married propelled Lorna back into the workforce, and the family moved to the Agricultural Research Station near Kamloops, where Lorna served as secretary for the research scientists. Twelve years later, with the kids grown and gone, she fulfilled her dream of returning to Magna Bay. There she gained employment as a secretary for Anglemont Estates, where she worked until retirement. She also became active in the Historical Society and contributed stories to the Shuswap Chronicles. Lorna, a lifelong nature lover joined the Naturalists and also became a member of St. David’s Church where she volunteered in the downstairs Thrift Shop. At home she loved to garden, cook, knit, read, and play the piano. Lorna spent her last seven years in Chase, first in a cozy house, followed by her final seven months in assisted living in Parkside, where she continued to light up people’s lives. The family extends a big bouquet of THANK YOU’S to the whole Parkside staff for their wonderful care. Beautiful both inside and out, Lorna was known for her kindness, her humour, her humility, and her generosity. Family meant everything to her. She will be missed so much by her brother, Don (Ruth), her son, Tom (Carol), daughters, Donna (Rick) and Deanna (Eric), plus grandchildren, Dorian, Tennessee, Isaac, Annonay, Galen, Natalia and Kyle; and great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Rylen, Kale, Kyran, and Rhys, not to mention a myriad of extended family and friends. A Celebration of Life for Lorna will be held at the North Shuswap Community Hall on the Squilax-Anglemont Road in Celista on September 5th from 1 pm to 5 pm. Mom, wherever you are, we all hope it’s an easy stroll for the bucket of water you always loved to fetch from Shuswap Lake.
THANK YOU
Good karma to the Lady Slipper women who found and returned my keys dropped on Phalen’s on my walk!
