New owners for Odika Cafe

Lana Fraser will be taking over ownership of the Odika Cafe mid-August, while Murray and Marina Kereliuk will be starting a new life (and a new restaurant) down Island.

Lana says that the menu will stay the same until their open house on September 13th – Donovan’s 16th Birthday!  Doors will be open from 3:00 – 8:00pm for anyone who would like to stop in and visit, or to offer ideas on what they would like to see in regards to the new restaurant.

Updates to come closer to the big event!

Congratulations Lana and family – best wishes for a smooth transition and much success!

Warm fuzzies from Haven

My name is Haven and I’ve started up a little gallery in the Nimpkish Plaza (beside Village Video).  May I send out two large bouquets of warm fuzzies?

I’m just doing up the month end (our first full month!) and thought I’d send out kudos and warm fuzzies to the ladies and gentlemen who have placed works here.   Out of the 19 local artists and artisans that have signed on for this adventure thus far; a full 10 have sold at least one piece this past month!   Six of the 10 sold two or more pieces!  I am so very pleased for them and so appreciative of everyone for giving the gallery a chance just to see how it goes.

Warm fuzzies also and especially for the gallery supporters that go far and beyond to drag their friends in to discover how talented the neighbours are or nag their talented friends and neighbours to bring their works in!

Congratulations Haven and everyone – sounds like you’re off to a fantastic start!

Weather produces smokey skies on the Coast

via Ministry of Forests and Range, Coastal Fire Centre:

(Thanks Craig!)

PARKSVILLE – Weather conditions are forcing smoke from wildfires in the interior of British Columbia to the coast, producing smokey skies throughout the Coastal Fire Centre.  Outflow winds and an easterly flow aloft is moving the smoke down the Fraser Canyon, Pemberton Valley, and coastal inlets and rivers.  Inversion conditions are holding the smoke down to ground level. Heavy smoke has been reported on the lower mainland from the border to Bella Coola, and in all areas of Vancouver Island.

These conditions will continue today, and while the smoke may dissipate overnight, it is expected the smoke will reform tomorrow.  These conditions may persist for several days.  People who are concerned with their health due to air quality should contact their local health authority.

The Coastal Fire Centre continues in high or extreme fire danger rating, and the public is cautioned to exercise care with any activity that may produce a spark.  All open fire is prohibited within the Coastal Fire Centre jurisdiction.

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire please call *5555 on your cell or toll-free 1-800-663-5555.

For the latest information on fire activity, conditions and prohibitions, visit the Wildfire Management Branch website at www.bcwildfire.ca.  For Facebook and Twitter updates, as well as details about evacuation orders and alerts, road conditions and air quality advisories, go to www.firesafebc.ca.

Home sweet home….

Just a quick note to let those of you who have emailed me know that I’m just getting home now and sorting through all my messages.

We headed to Cranbrook over the long weekend for my Mother-in-law’s wedding – it was a great time!  So cute to see the old bird tie the knot again! :)

Please bear with me while I play catch up!

PS:  What’s with all the smoke?  Yuck!
