He wrote columns and had a television series called the Plant Doctor, he wrote for the Vancouver jjj pjNJPJN Seasons be able to find something beautiful in what somebody else was going to throw away even if it is just an artistic beauty. Gamier says he is very interested in the native culture and traditional ways. "Originally the native Indians did not waste anything." He says he has a fascination for the old and feels that the old cultures really have a lot of common sense, wisdom, which must be adopted in today's society if it is to survive.
Gamier says the original people had some very common-sense ideas that need to be returned to if the world is going to solve the problems it faces with pollution, the possibility of nuclear war and other earth-destroying problems. "Their logic says that we are the earth and what we do to the earth we do to ourselves. Those old boots are a reminder of the common sense foundation of the Indian logic." Gamier is in Salmon Arm visiting his sister and mother over the Christmas holidays. He says he is exploring the idea of moving here.

Johnson Construction WINSTON AND VIRGINIA JOHNSON Karil Gamier, an artist from Vancouver, has a rather unusual art exhibition and sale at Cedarvale Centre this week. Garnier's exhibition centres on old shoes and boots. He uses what he calls a "fused media" of charcoal on acrylic to get the effects he achieves. Gamier says there will be 25 pieces in the show most will be old shoes and boots, however, there will be a special section of pictures of the geese on McGuire Lake. "I've brought a portable fused media studio and I will be working while I'm in the mall so if anybody is interested in coming down to see me I'd like to meet them." Gamier says he is mostly a self-taught artist though he did attend Emily Carr College of Art and Design.
For the last five years Gamier has worked under internationally recognized Dutch realist Egbert Oudenbag, who now lives in Vancouver. Gamier says the old shoes and boots get into his philosophy of disliking today's disDosable attitudes. He says ri "I've always had my hands in the art medium and I excelled at it through school." throughout fhe year.

Allen, Shirley and Staff stayed in hiding until the men had left and then called the police and freed her coworkers. There is some indication that the thieves were in a dark-coloured pickup truck. The investigation by Chase RCMP is continuing. Blane Ready, manager of the Sorrento store, said Friday morning, "The staff is pretty shaken up after their shocking experience.
I certainly commend the RCMP for their promptness in responding to the call but, because of the number of break-ins both to private homes and businesses, residents of this area should think about getting better, or at least closer, police protection." (N.H.) At 5:15 December 15, Ready's Prescription Drug Store was robbed. Two males wearing toques pulled down over their faces entered the store and confronted the pharmacist and one clerk on duty at the time. One of the robbers was armed with a knife and the other with what appeared to be a sawed-off shotgun. The two employees were taken to the rear of the store behind the dispensary where their hands and feet were tied. The suspects then took a quantity of drugs, some of which were narcotics, and approximately $280, leaving by the back door.

This year's concert ran particularly smoothly, and was obviously enjoyed by the children participating and by the audience, the young and the not-so-young.
The Grade seven band under teacher Steve Filipchuk opened the program with a medley of tunes and a Christmas wish. The kindergarten class under its teacher, Judy Gardiner, delighted children and adults alike with their songs and choral speaking. Pat Christopherson's intermediate-grade choir sang "A Christmas Round" and "A Christmas Song." An added feature for the latter was school custodian Stan Zobac's accompaniment on the drums. Tom Wrinch's Grade 4 class demonstrated organization moving about the stage into different positions for each of the five presentations it made from choral verse to action Christmas carols. The Grade six band, also under Mr.
Filipchuk, showed the progress its members have made after only two months of practice with its rendition of Christmas carols, featuring flutes and clarinets in "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Five students who have practised on their own at lunchtimes and recess breaks played "We Three Stacey Spencer on the flute, Janet Lee on the clarinet, Tom Gleave playing the saxophone, Russ Lamb the trombone and Cory Muir the trumpet. The Grade sevens enacted an original drama, "Santa's Wedding" starring Heidi Wot-ton as the narrator, Dena BcBirney as Santa and Brenda Fitzpatrick as his bride. Between this presentation and the one by the Grade Six class, Jackie Marier and her band teacher played a beautiful fluteguitar duet of "Silver Bells." "Ye old Festival of Christmas" starring Michael Proud as the king and Sean Williams as the crier, was the drama in verse presented by the Grade sixes to conclude a very successful Christmas concert at Sorrento School. Jamie Seibel, Keith Evans, and Clint Miller worked as stage crew for the event.

MELLOR'S Country General Store The resignation of Shuswap school superintendent Ron Smith was called for at last week's board meeting by a Shuswap parent who feels the superintendent "acted in a manner incompatible with his public office and performance of duty," during the three day teachers' strike in November. Eric Stolze, one of many 'angry parents' at the board meeting on the first day of the strike, appeared before the board again Tuesday and made some strongly worded statements to the board, expressing his concerns and claiming that he had been "dealt with dishonestly" by the superintendent. Just prior to Stolze's brief to the board he was informed by the chairman his statement would be tape-recorded.
Although Stolze made a forceful demand for Smith's resignation, the board, through chairman Donna Calvert, replied in a firm manner that the board dealt with the teacher at the school in the morning who was willing to teach. PHONED Since he felt he did not receive a suitable explanation, Stolze said he phoned the teacher himself and learned May the sparkle of Christmas light your way through a season of happy days.

He said people involved are not content with what they have won but want ultimate power, including the forcing of negotiations; and immunity from prosecution, disciplinary comes from a rejuggling of assessment values and the same changes that will mean a $5,000 increase for Salmon Arm will mean a $40,000 decrease for Kelowna.
Both aldermen Dick Smith and Don Rogers said it is obvious that library costs are becoming too high, particularly in view of the fact "we'll have less money to work with in 1984, not more." Smith said he continues to wonder if there could not be a substantial saving by combining the community and school library systems to avoid duplication. All council members indicated they are not at all unhappy with the library service provided here, nor with the personnel. Alderman Cave told them service here is apt to be considerably reduced, despite the much-increased budget. He said the overall hold-the line budget at a time of costs are going up means there must be a number of savings measures implemented. That will likely mean either closing the library for a period of time a couple of times a year or further reducing the hours and days of service in branches like Salmon Arm, he said.
There is little can be done to save in rural areas because most now only have a few hours, perhaps once a week, Cave noted.
