Lane sees “motorcycles as pieces of art, much like a painting. I can sit and enjoy looking at them for hours. Each one is beautiful and unique in its own way.” The museum is designed to “display each motorcycle as a piece of art. It will hopefully motivate young people to dream and older people to remember their dream, this is my goal.”

Lane took possession of the property in May 2011 and spent the next year renovating and adding on to the building, with the grand opening in May of 2012. The museum has an extensive collection of vintage and classic motorcycles.

They provide a hand-held audio device that links to each display with information and history of each bike.

Owner operators of Sprokkets Café are Mark’s wife, Doreen and Robin Johnson. It is open every day year round (except Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day), featuring fresh coffee, homemade soups, sandwiches on homemade buns, homemade pies, muffins and more.

The museum will be open on Fridays and Saturdays until Christmas and will reopen next spring with its regular hours, six days a week, closed on Tuesdays.

Chamber of Commerce News Submitted by Karen Brown, General Manager Electoral Area C Looks at Governance Model-Is It Time to Incorporate?

The CSRD is undertaking a governance study in Electoral Area C and the purposes of the study are threefold: a) To document and assess the state of governance and service delivery within the region, b) To understand the concerns and interests of residents with respect to governance and service delivery; and c) To identify future governance and service delivery options for Area C. A Governance Study Steering Committee representing a cross-section of the broader Area C community has been struck and will work through a series of meetings over the course of the year with the project consultants Neilson -Welch. The steering committee will act as a conduit to relay information back and forth between the public and the consultant group.

All of these meetings are open to the public and although the word ‘governance’ may suggest dry topics, it is anything but dry. If you’re asking yourself if Area C should look at incorporation and what the property tax or service delivery implications might be then you will want to be at these meetings to see first-hand what is being presented by the consultants and discussed by the committee.

Everyone is encouraged to watch for notices as all of these meetings are open to the public. It is proposed that the second public meeting will be held on February 16th at 6 pm at Carlin Hall.

Workshop Series Geared For Area Non-Profits The South Shuswap Chamber is hosting a series of workshops for nonprofit organizations serving the region.

Equipping our non-profits with the tools needed for proper governance, planning and effective day-to-day operations makes local organizations stronger, which in turn strengthens our community. The series of workshops will cover topics such as governance training, strategic planning, insurance and financial statements and succession planning.

The first workshop, “Changes to the Societies Act” takes place on Saturday November 19th from 930 to 1100 am at the Carlin Hall. The new Societies Act comes into effect on November 28th and organizations will need to file the necessary documentation to become compliant under the new terms of the Act. Kathryn Vennard, LLP from Salmon Arm will give an overview on the Societies Act changes and guide non-profits on becoming compliant.

Pre-registration is mandatory.

To register, email Karen Brown: manager@southshuswapchamber.com Tea/coffee will be served and cost is $10 per participant.

Membership Renewals Now Out Michelle Davies, Administrative Assistant with the Chamber, has been sending out Membership Renewals to businesses. If you have not received your membership renewals, please contact the Chamber Office: 250.515.0002.

First Responders

By Debbie Edwards The South Shuswap First Responders have just held their Annual General Meeting. It was well attended and everyone who attended got to view the presentation that Doug Hubscher put together for us. A little background.

Doug trained as a First Responder with the very first group of South Shuswap First Responders in 2001. He served as a first responder until December 2015. He acted as a trainer and also as President for a few years. He remains as a director for the group and also our chief statistician. Hopefully we can get this presentation loaded on our website www.ssfra.ca and on our Facebook site: Facebook at: South Shuswap First Responders.

Each year Doug pulls out all the information from our call sheets and puts together an amazing presentation. He breaks down the info into many categories. From the type of calls received, whether it is medical, MVA, or cardiac call. In his summary of those calls we find out how long it took for us to get there and how long the ambulance took to get there after we were on scene. This summary also shows where the call volumes were in the 7 different areas we serve in the CSRD. In looking back in the records, I found stats that Doug did in the first 6 months of the South Shuswap First Responders. That was April 2001 – September2001. They had 66 calls that first six months. From October 2015- September 2016, we had 282 calls.

The highest number of calls we have had in one year is 311. The most calls we have had in one day is 5!! That was not long ago.

That is a pretty high demand on our volunteer team.

We are seriously looking for interested people who would like to help your community and neighbours by joining our team.

We need Responders and Dispatchers. The training is free and all equipment is supplied.

Dispatchers are an integral part of this team. Without them we wouldn’t get those calls from the 911 dispatchers. Our dispatch receives the call out from 911 and communicates with the responders on the radio to let them know the nature of the call, where it is and how many patients are involved. They then monitor the call, keeping track of the times and staying in contact with the team on scene until everyone stands down from the call. This is a job that doesn’t require a person to leave their home so if you feel that you could operate a radio and answer the call, working sometimes under a somewhat stressful situation we could really

250-679-3373 Landscape Rock - Bark Mulch - Top Soil -

use the help. Our dispatch team always has a backup person and they work in shifts of 1 week at a time 24hrs/day. Someone is always available to cover when needed. It is a big commitment and although this job description is not meant to scare anyone away, it is important to consider.

Now for responders. They have a 40 hr. course to complete over two weekends. All the training is provided free. We practice every second Wednesday at the fire hall in Sorrento @ 7:00pm.

As a responder you will work hand in hand with the Paramedics on calls. They have a great appreciation for the work our team does before and after they get on scene. So please, we need responders and dispatchers.

If you feel this maybe for you contact us: Debbie 250-6753355 This year we had many fund raisers. We have been replacing equipment and gear with the funds we have received. Special thanks go out to: Greg Kyllo and the Province of BC, Paul Demenok and the CSRD, Shuswap Foundation, Lions Club of Sorrento, Copper Island Fine Homes and Finz Restaurant.

All the other individual donations we have received.

Please if you haven’t ordered your Reflective Address sign call Tom @ 250-675-3355. Remember if we can’t find you we can’t help you.

Theft at Notch Hill Church Salmon Arm News Release The Salmon Arm RCMP received a complaint of a break and enter in to a property in the Notch Hill area where lumber was stolen from a building restoration site.

A volunteer involved in the restoration of a heritage property reported to police that unknown culprits had cut a pad lock to gain access to building supplies that were being used in the project. Once the culprits were inside they loaded up a stack of specially milled wood and fled the area.

The wood that was stolen is described as tongue and groove "clear grain" fir. The value of the lumber is in the thousands of dollars. Its theft is quite a setback to the project.

If any member of the general public has information on this theft or the whereabouts of this lumber and wishes to provide that information to the police please call the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250 832 6044 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Guilty Plea in Blind Bay Shooting

By Jo Anne Malpass One of two men accused of killing Nick Larsen, 24, of Sorrento in a driveby shooting on Blind Bay Road June 1, 2011 has pleaded guilty.

Jordan Barnes, 29, of Mission entered a guilty plea to second degree murder in Kamloops BC Supreme Court on October 24. A second man accused in the killing, Jeremy Davis, 26, of Williams Lake, is still awaiting trial.

After an extensive three-year investigation, the two men were arrested in June, 2014 and charged with second degree murder.

The RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit determined that Larsen was shot while travelling in a friend’s vehicle

in what appeared to be a targeted attack. There had been a dispute in Sorrento between two groups of men a couple of hours before the shooting. At some point after that argument, the vehicle in Nick Larson which Larsen was riding Photo: shared was forced off the road memoryleaf.net by another vehicle and an occupant of the suspect vehicle then allegedly fired multiple bullets into the vehicle in which Larsen was riding.

Larsen was hit several times and succumbed to his injuries shortly after.

Sentencing for Barnes is expected to occur this month.

Stolen Vehicle Recovered Chase RCMP On October 16th, Chase RCMP received a complaint of stolen vehicle from the 2700 block of Davidson Road in Sorrento.

The complainant, who was out of town for work, stated that she had received word that the grey Chevrolet pick-up truck had been taken overnight. Shortly afterward, Kamloops RCMP re-

ported that they had recovered the truck, which had been abandoned after striking a fence post that caused damage to the engine compartment. This case remains under investigation, and anyone with knowledge of this theft is requested to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221, or Crimestoppers.

November Buzz at the Copper Island Seniors Resource Center

Barbra Fairclough, Age Friendly Coordinator, South Shuswap Health Services Society The Resource Center is a buzz now as we are getting back to our fall and winter after a busy summer. The cyber senior’s computer tutorial session is in full swing and it filled quickly, just as we expected. Don’t wait to get your name on the waiting list. It will be the best way to get involved with learning about the internet. This series will help you learn on whatever device you choose. Monday sessions begin on January 30th and Friday intake begins February 3rd. Sign up with a friend and you can learn together.

The foot clinic was on November 2 and there is another one scheduled for November 30th. There are still openings so call the Resource Center (250 517 6047) to have a volunteer sign you up.

Obstructive Dock Campaign Continues

By Jo Anne Malpass Dan McKerracher of Sorrento has continued his campaign to create public awareness about “our simple human right to walk along the foreshore” without obstruction. CBC Radio Daybreak's Jennifer Chrumka came out to interview Dan and Kristen Kornienko about the situation. Following considerable callin reaction to the program, Daybreak then interviewed Columbia Shuswap Regional District Development Services Manager Gerald Christie about the role of the CSRD in enforcing public access to the foreshore.

In last month’s Scoop, Dan wrote in part “The purpose of this letter is to see if there are other folks in the Sorrento area who, like me, believe their right to freely walk the public beaches lining our part of the Shuswap Lake is frustrated by a tiny minority of waterfront owners who feel entitled by decades of habit to keep various and sundry docks, wharfs, walkways and elevated gangplanks across the beach in such a way as to, in some cases, completely deny public access. I feel it is time to open a conversation between all interested parties aimed at fostering an environment in which safe and equitable public beach access for walking purposes is encouraged and facilitated.”

The two CBC interviews can be listened to at the following address, or email Dan and he will send you a one-click link: http://bit.ly/2f5CqP4

• Residential & Commercial Maintenance • Turf Lawns Installed • Weed Control • Core Aeration • Fertilizing Programs

Dan also let the Scoop know that Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo will be coming out to Sorrento in the near future to meet with he and Kristen and see the beach area for himself.

Dan has “no intention of letting go of this issue anytime soon. I am hearing of specific, similar issues in Blind Bay and Eagle Bay, and no doubt eventually will learn of obstructive dock situations in every settled part of the lake.”

Dan welcomes your comments and beach-walking experiences at danmckerracher@telus.net, and promises to respond to all. He is a waterfront owner in the Sorrento area.

Submitted by Lawrence Magis In 2015 the Sorrento Memorial Hall hosted the 20th annual Light Up Sorrento.

This is the first year the light up was celebrated at the Hall.

The event has always taken place on the first weekend of December, from 6-8 PM. The event is a great opportunity to celebrate community and the Christmas season. Everyone from Sorrento and area were invited to attend the Light Up. Through the terrific sponsorship of the CSRD as well as several businesses and organizations, over 300 people came out to enjoy Hot Dogs provided and served by the Lions, Hot Chocolate served and provided by SASCU, Candy Canes donated by the Drop In Centre, Entertainment provided by the Sorrento Preschool and Sorrento Elementary School, Live Music by the Shuswap Community Church Quartet and Nik and Kristen McKee. There was a 25 minute Fireworks show choreographed by Al McCelland and

crew. Fireworks were sponsored by SACA and the Chamber of Commerce. Through the hard work and volunteerism of the Sorrento Memorial Board, there was a magnificent light display surrounding the outdoor fire pits. With many thanks to the wonderful Fire Department. They located Santa and to the delight of the kid in all of us, delivered him by Fire Truck to hear some Christmas wishes.

As with all new initiatives it takes some trial and error to get things perfect so with those thoughts in mind, the Sorrento Memorial Hall Board is planning for a 21st annual Light Up Sorrento on December 2nd, 2016. Plans will be similar to prior years with festivities between 5pm and 9pm.

Fireworks will take place at the end of the evening.

Watch for upcoming information and announcements in the coming weeks to continue this tradition! Hope to see you there.

Notch Hill Natter

By Jill Goward October was as busy as ever at Notch Hill Town Hall.

Between meetings, private functions, Coffee House and the very successful Pot Luck Supper, the weeks have flown by. Alan, Budd, Bruce and many volunteers have managed to keep up with hall maintenance, landscaping and leaf raking. The hall looks pretty good right now and should remain so until that inevitable cloak of snow arrives.

November will see the usual board meeting, the monthly member meeting on 7th, and Coffee House on Saturday 19th at 7pm. For only $3

people can enjoy light music from many talented local musicians and singers, plus there are always snacks.

We are looking forward to December, especially as there will be a Ladies’ Social at 2 o’clock on Sunday 11th; then the CP Christmas train arrives on Wednesday evening Dec 14th at approximately 9:30.

Plus there will be the special Christmas Coffee House on Sat. 17th, to be followed by the Notch Hill/Sorrento Kids Christmas Party at 3pm on Sunday 18th.

So do come and join us for some fun. For more info call 250-675-4174 or go to www.notchhillhall.com

Off the Grid

Episode 8 - Sixth Sense Farming

By Una St. Clair It was our big night out on the town, our chance to escape for an evening! In the old days of high style and high consumption, we used to attend society balls dressed in sophisticated attire.

Now we were just thrilled to be going to an action packed movie at the local cinema without our muddy boots!

The on screen fury of fists should have been all consuming, but a pinprick of concern was growing in my mind. Something was wrong, I could feel it. Darn, an animal was in trouble! I whispered to Ernest we must check the goats when we got home.

I waited impatiently for the movie to end, so insistent was the inner voice telling me I was needed at the farm.

It was midnight when we returned, mist and rain encompassing everything in its damp embrace. “Drive along the road beside the fence, would you?” I asked Ernest, the car’s high beams shining into the field as we crawled along peering into the night.

Nothing could be seen, all was quiet. I expected to feel relieved, glad that my sixth sense was wrong, but the uneasiness continued. Grabbing the flashlight, I walked out into the wet night.

The strong beam of light picked out the goat herd standing like statues in the dark rain, staring towards me, their eyes glittering yellow. There was a sense of expectancy emanating from them as their gaze fixed upon me. Goats hate the rain with a capital “H”, yet here they stood so strange, waiting and watching. I swept the light further down the fence line and beheld two glittering reflections separate from the herd. Something was indeed

amiss!

There she was, the goat in trouble, hanging by her neck high in the fence. She had been stretching up to nibble some greenery on the other side, and had wiggled her head and horns through a small opening in the page wire with no way of backing out. She was literally strangling herself as she was losing her ability to support her weight with her small hooves perched on a wire. She had been hanging there for hours, her bruised throat preventing calls for help.

A quick assessment confirmed the impossibility of releasing her by manipulating her horns. “Just hang in there, goaty gal, I’ll be right back!” I reassured her before running off to find wire cutters. Branch loppers left beside the apple tree did the trick, and she fell to the ground in a daze as the wire gave way. Goat family members crowded around curiously while I massaged her neck; soon she was bleating hoarsely and up on her feet.

Sitting in the barn being soothed by sounds of rain drumming on the metal roof and goats lying peacefully about, I contemplated the enormity of this deep connection between man and animal, where a message of thought from a distressed goat could reach me so perfectly. I felt a deep sadness for all the creatures who have so much to say, but cannot make themselves heard.

What if our planet as a whole respected these sentient beings and honored interspecies communication? How would farming change? How would our world change if we really believed animals, birds and bees had the ability to communicate important information with us and we listened, understood and acted in their best interests? What would happen if we truly integrated the concept that nature is the greatest gift of all, and that we ignore our role of empathetic stewardship to a whole range of magnificent and complex sentient beings at our unparalleled peril?

What. If. We. Could. Feel. Their. Pain?

With these grand thoughts in mind, I opened the door into the house. Ernest was looking at me intently “You didn’t cut my new wire fence, did you?” he asked accusingly. My guilty grin told the story. Well now, Ernest certainly had no problem with his sixth sense ability!

Is Social Media Confusing You?

By Rob Marshall, Executive Director of Community Futures Shuswap Is social media confusing you? That’s the topic of a special event taking place in November in the Community Futures Shuswap Boardroom. We have joined forces with Downtown Salmon Arm, Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, City of Salmon Arm and Shuswap Tourism to bring this workshop to our community.

This workshop will be in 2 parts, over 2 evenings: Tuesday, November 15th and Tuesday, November 22nd from 5-8 pm.

Please visit our website www.beyourfuture.ca for more information and links to register.

If your answer was 'yes' to the above question and event topic, don’t worry you’re not alone. Social media is everchanging and evolving but one thing remains the same: it is a go-to for 93% of marketers. If you’re part of the 7%, it’s not too late to get on board. If you’re already

wading your way through the social media sea, we hope this event will provide a lifeboat for you that will take you to the right vessel and set you on a course to social media success!

Karl Kovacs, Social Media Consultant, says, “Business owners must first know your audience and what social media platforms they frequent. This changes often, so you have to be ready and agile.”

Kovacs also noted, “It’s important that you don’t give the job to someone and then not give them enough time and tools to monitor and respond. Be creative. Be authentic. Be honest. Your customers/ clients will return in kind.”

The benefits of using social media are maximized with a well-planned strategic program to engage your customers, create a top of mind touchpoint for you with them as they engage the platform, encourage client interactions, and help clients to see you and your business in a wellrounded perspective. Using social media

Eagle Bay News Submitted by Rod Dale I could vote for the Pirate Party. They have just won or at least almost won a general election in Iceland. Who can forget the subprime mortgage fiasco? It hit Iceland’s banks very hard ...and it seemed that the people believed the government was somewhat responsible, hence the rise of the Pirates. .... and I bet just about a majority of Americans would vote for a pirate right now.

Most of us are concerned about privacy and safeguarding data ...so it worries me somewhat that Microsoft Inc. can fiddle with my computer at will, replacing (improving) the operating system and leaving me floundering around for half a day while I figure out how to work with the improvements.

We have been a moving force throughout our 43 years of existence, bringing to the community entertainment, education and establishments. The Sorrento Lions have been active supporters of the refurbishment to the Sorrento Memorial Hall and have held our meetings and many of our events there since 1973.

The next event will be our annual Seniors’ Christmas Party on Nov. 26 from 6pm to 9pm, featuring live entertainment, appetizers, a 50/50 draw and a Silent Auction. The event is free to all seniors.

This year the proceeds from the Silent Auction will go towards the purchase of specialty equipment for special needs students in our area.

The Arts and Positive Change in Communities

By Karen Brown, Arts Council Administrator Arts and culture are powerful tools with which to engage communities in various levels of change. They promote public dialogue, contribute to the development of creative learning and help build community capacity and leadership.

The arts are one of the primary means of public dialogue.

Communities talk about and express difficult issues and emotions via the arts. The arts raise awareness of important issues facing communities and educate the public in powerful and creative ways (Augaitis, Falk, Gilbert, & Moser, 1995).

The arts contribute to the development of creative learning The arts stimulate creative problem-solving and innovation within a group or community. Creative thinking abilities – expression, risk taking and imagination – are improved through arts involvement. People develop and nurture their own creativity through involvement in the arts by enhancing their ability to imagine and to visualize. Seeing situations as they might be in the future is a valuable tool for solving problems and effecting change.

The arts can build community capacity and leadership. Involvement in community-based arts projects can help people feel better connected, more inspired to get involved, and more confident about their ability to make a difference in their communities. Those who participate in arts and culture also tend to be very active in civic, religious, and political activities. Arts involvement assists community members to learn new skills and build new social networks as it forces one to look beyond the boundaries of their own family or friendships. Especially in children, the character development that comes from expanding their social network is huge. The arts can also improve lateral thinking, creativity, problem solving, organizational and communication skills and can develop leadership and promote active citizenship among youth.

In closing, arts and culture help us understand our values. It helps us make sense of life and it reflects what matters to us tolionsclub@yahoo.ca whether this is through a song, a painting, a dance or a play.

Exploring what life means touches us deeply and enables us to We would love to act on and shape our lives. Understanding our own values and hear from you! setting life priorities will help each of us to make a healthy contribution to our communities.

Tech Talk: Browser Pop-Ups

By Stefan Schielke, inTechrity I’ve been receiving calls from clients concerned about browser alert pop-ups. These pop-ups can be disconcerting because the messages state your data has been compromised or your hard drive has problems. Pop-ups provide a toll-free number stating you must call to resolve the issue and are often accompanied with an audible beeping or voice reading the message.

Usually, when these messages appear, directly closing the pop-up or even the browser is not possible. Pop-ups can easily be closed by ending your browser process in your Task Manager.

The Windows Task Manager enables you to monitor the applications, processes, and services currently running on your PC. Open your Task Manager either by hitting ‘Ctrl + Shift + Esc’ on your keyboard or ‘Ctrl + Alt + Delete’ and select the Task Manager from the menu items.

Click on the browser (chrome.exe/Google Chrome, firefox.exe/Firefox, iexplore.exe/Microsoft Edge) and click the End Process button to close the browser and the pop-up.

Scan your computer before doing anything else as it could be infected with either Malware or browser hijacking software.

A lot of redirects are the result of users clicking on what appear to be legitimate ads or news stories. For example, “Trump Arrested” with a picture of Donald Trump flanked by two police officers. This opens a window that alerts you that your computer is at risk and you need to download a program to clean it. The program almost always contains Malware.

Remembrance Day A Time to Reflect

Sorrento & Area Community Association Submitted by Brenda Puetz With Fall firmly in place, the planters and canoes in the Sorrento town core have been cleaned up as we prepare for another winter. We would like to extend a thank you to our volunteers and businesses who helped in watering and caring for our flowers.

Those who attended the Community Engagement Day held in September, had an opportunity to meet with many of the South Shuswap non-profit organizations (and enjoy the great music and activities). It does make one appreciate all that volunteers do in our communities.

SACA’s mission in our community is to promote matters of common concern and interest to residents, businesses and property owners in the area and to advance projects or improvements that will benefit the area. We have responded in previous years by getting lights downtown, encouraging highways to put up the speed radar signs, establishing the local Health Centre, installing the community toilet at Sorrento Shoppers Plaza, keeping the sidewalks clear of snow in winter, etc. With support from the CSRD, we continue to work on community planting, trimming, equipping and cleaning the public toilet, and support community led events. We also liaison with senior levels of government.

If you are interested in becoming a member we are on Facebook. Our website is www.sorrento-shuswap.ca or you can contact Brenda at 250-675-2599. We are also looking for new board members for 2017!

By Greg Kyllo, MLA for Shuswap Every year at 11 a.m. on November 11, we pause for two minutes of silence to reflect upon the sacrifice of our soldiers, sailors and our air force personnel – all those who have fought for our country, those who have cared for and supported them, and those who have died in the line of duty.

Remembrance Day is about honouring those who have served, and those who continue to serve, in combat zones across the world. It’s about ensuring that we never forget those whose names appear on our cenotaphs and memorials, or carved on headstones in foreign lands. It’s about recognizing those unknown soldiers whose final resting places cannot be found or marked, and doing our part to ensure the memory of their valour lives on.

Each year brings with it certain milestones to remember, of conflicts long ago as well as those recently concluded. Beginning in 2014, we started marking 100th anniversaries of the First World War – the conflict that was so pivotal in solidifying Canadian identity on the world stage, as our soldiers became known for their courage and success in battle. In 2016, we commemorated the centennial of two major battles, the Somme Offensive and the Battle of Verdun. We also marked the second anniversary of the end of our active operations in Afghanistan, the largest deploy-

ment of Canadian Armed Forces personnel since the Second World War. It has also been two years since we saw a direct assault on uniformed servicemen on our home soil, when Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo were killed within days of each other. Their deaths serve as a strong reminder that our hardwon freedom must never be taken for granted, even while we are fortunate to live in a country where most conflict remains confined to regions far away and times long ago.

This Remembrance Day, let us honour all those who have fallen in service to our country, and show our support for those who made it home.

One way to show our support is by purchasing a poppy from the Royal Canadian Legion during its annual Poppy Campaign; all proceeds from these sales go toward supporting our serving and retired Veterans and their families.

I also encourage you to attend a memorial ceremony in your community, where you can join your friends and neighbours, fellow Canadians, in observing the customary two minutes of silence to show respect and gratitude for those who have shouldered the burden of responsibility to protect our country, keeping Canada strong and free.

Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact my constituency office at (250) 833-7414, or toll free at (877) 771-7557.

By Alfred Maier The sell out event of beer and brats, music, dance, prizes, and above all, people who were enjoying themselves being together, swelled into a lively community party. The allvolunteer Board received many compliments from the happy participants for staging an evening – “I haven’t had this much fun in years” bubbled one patron.
