WELCOME TO RURAL LIVINGCelebration of Rural Living Expo & Trade Show

A Good Old Way of LifeThere are the wise and the old, and the young, who want to learn,

There’s the hard working not so olds, their fortunes try to earn,

Farming’s got a grip on them, they know no other way,

Come hail or rain or sunshine, it’s just another day,

From early in the morning, till after dark at night,

For crops and stock their caring, they are their delight.

Working hard day by day, in a green and pleasant land,

Don’t have time to stand and stare, have a good look around,

Take in the beauty where, they work the � elds the trees n lanes

All the years of care and sweat, well out weighs the pains.

It’s just a good old way of life, their families there to rear,

Health and hope and happiness, the harvest brings good cheer.

Countryman Owd Fred

Welcome;The � rst Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show has been

an exciting event to take from an idea, into the planning stages, and � -nally bring to fruition. You will � nd something for everyone, with a full weekend of entertainment and interesting things to see and do while you are here.

For those of us who are blessed with living in rural British Columbia, or “the country” as some may say, life is truly sweet.

We grow our own food, share what we have with those who have less, look out for each other, and our children are more in touch with the natural world. Rural residents are resilient, innovative and show lower stress levels.

We live where you can walk waist deep in a � eld of wild � owers, see deer playing outside your kitchen window, pick wild berries on a moun-tain hillside, or catch trout for breakfast within walking distance of home. The sunsets are remembered forever, and a cloudless night brings a galaxy of stars to your back porch. You can swim at the lake, hike in the high country, or travel the backroads.

We’re part of a community, and we love where we live. Come and take a walk with us on the rural side, we know you’ll like what you see.Jill HaywardEvent Manager

On Saturday, at 12:15pm watch the liberty horse demonstration given by Jessica Chappell and her equine partner. No saddle, no bridle - just partners in tune with each other! The demonstration will take in the outdoor horse show ring directly behind the North Thompson Agriplex on the north side.

North Thompson Star/Journal and Clearwater Times April 27 & 28, 2013 Celebration of Rural Living Expo & Trade Show Walk On The Rural Side B3

If laughter is the best medicine, then Dr. Art Hister is the doctor to bring it to Barriere.

Hister is an expert on providing a human face to the mysteries of medical science and the health industry.

The doctor will be the keynote speaker at the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show at the North Thompson Agriplex on Saturday April 27, at 11 a.m. Dr. Hister will give a one hour presentation, and will be onsite for most of the day.

Organizers of the event say they are most excited to have such a respected and sought after popular speaker in attendance at the Expo. And they note that the admission fee into the Expo and Trade Show is just $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students, with children 12 years and under free.

There is no additional charge to hear Dr. Art Hister’s presentation. He will be one of a full slate of speakers and demonstrations that will be running continuously throughout the two day Expo and Trade Show event.

Hister combines humour, common sense and plain language, to help make the often frighten-ing and confusing world of medicine under-standable to all, and accessible to everyone.

“I don’t talk about anything that is rocket science. I talk about healthy living, healthy lifestyles. I tell a lot of jokes which seem to work. I try to convince the audience why they should be living a healthy lifestyle, what I think they should be doing, which elements are the most impor-tant. But then we have a terrific amount of fun in the question period. They can pep-per me with anything they want to ask me,” says Hister.

He also notes he has been a full time “media doctor” since 1991, has worked as a health analyst for BBC Radio in the UK, CBC Newsworld, and the Corus Radio Network, and is cur-rently a daily health analyst for Global TV News in B.C.

Hister is also a health columnist for several publications and web sites, includ-ing TV Week and the London Drugs E-Newsletter, as well as the author of two Canadian medical best-sellers.

“I’ve also been a consultant for the B.C. government; but then so has nearly everyone who’s lived long enough,” says the doctor.

He is currently as-sociated with several health and wellness or-

ganizations, including the BC Alzheimer Society and the Tapestry Foundation where he consults on issues affecting our aging population.

Hister is the past honorary chairman of the BC Alzheimer’s Society Walk for Memories, past Volunteer of the Year for the Canadian Diabetes Association and currently sits on the Board of Governors of the Vancouver Holocaust Educa-tional Centre.

He is also the author of two Canadian best-sellers, Midlife Man and Dr. Art Hister’s Guide to a Longer and Healthier Life, as well as numer-ous articles for publications such as Reader’s Digest, The Globe and Mail, and The Medical Post.

In his shows, and when he does community presentations, Hister focuses on topics that he feels are going to interest a lot of people.

“I always like to find something that will interest people, and something that they can do something about. I invariably leave people with hope and I try to inject some humour. This is a funny condition being alive so if you can laugh at it and have some fun, we should enjoy it while we’re here.”

You can find more information about Dr. Art Hister by going to: www.drart.ca, or better yet come and meet him in person April 27, where you can also purchase one of his books.

The Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show is pleased to have partnered with the North Thompson Arts

Council to showcase the 6th Annual Celebration of Arts Festival in conjunction with our event.

In 2008 the first Celebration of the Arts Festival in Barriere was held. Partnering with the Chamber of Commerce and with funding provided by the 2010 Legacies Now through the North Thompson Valley Learning and Literacy Program, the event was organized in the hope that it would become an annual event.

The festival showcased the talents of local artisans and was a great opportunity for the community and visitors to see the many talented artists who live in our area. Over 30 artists participated that year, and the event was held in Fadear Park.

Since then, the festival has indeed become a yearly event, and although the dates and locations have changed a few times, from May to June and now to April, and from Fadear Park to the highway next to Sam’s Pizza & Rib House, the event has remained an excellent venue for artisans from

throughout the North Thompson Valley.Until this year, the festival has been held outdoors every time,

which hasn’t been the perfect situation; unfortunately, the weath-er hasn’t always cooperated. When in Fadear Park, there were dust storms, when next to the highway, wind and rain squalls, particularly last year, when many of the canopies that had been set up on the Friday were blown down and mangled. This year, we are trying something totally different.

In conjunction with the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show, we have moved the Festival indoors, into the North Thompson Agriplex. There, artisans and the visiting public can enjoy the comfort of being indoors and out of the weather, while enjoying everything else the Festival and the Expo has to offer.

For those coming specifically to check out and purchase artwork by local artisans - there will be a wide variety of quality work to peruse, and to purchase.

Here is a list of who will be there and some of what they will be offering for sale.

There will be paintings by a large number of artists, includ-ing (in no particular order): Norma Stewart, Katherine Semrick, Grace Baker, Bob Stirling, Marie Downing, Wayne Broomfield, and Shirley Anderson.

Pottery by Lynne Nordquist, Ramona MacKay and Charlene Lau.

Woodwork by Michael Morris and Jim Hicks.Women’s hand crafted accessories, clothing and

jewelry by Sylvia Boyd, Carolyn Thompson, and Nancy Land.

Handmade cards by Margaret Houben, as well as cards by some of the painters and other artists.

Photography by several artists, including wildlife photographer Jill Hayward, and the Yellowhead 4-H Photography Club.

Other artisans participating include: Craig Fraser, the Wells Gray Gallery Artists Cooperative,

Virginia Jalava, Joan Rezansoff, the Yellow-head Artists Coop-erative, Leah Jones, Pat McKay and Siana Kelley.

Another feature this year, will be the exhibition of the El-ementary Art Contest entries. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 7, from Heff-ley Creek, Sun Peaks, Barriere, Chu Chua, Clearwater, Vavenby and Blue River Elementary Schools have been invited to submit artwork for this contest. Those entries that have been turned in to the Armour Mountain Art Gallery in Bar-riere will be displayed at the Festival in the Agriplex for the public to vote on. Entries submit-ted to Clearwater were displayed at the Clearwater Art Fes-tival on April 21 and voted on there.

Come out and talk to local artists; help us choose the winners for our art contest, and see for yourself all the wonderful art that is in our commu-nity and our valley.

Building on the success on their International best seller ‘Low GI Meals in Minutes Cookbook’, Laura Kalina, Registered Dietitian and Cheryl Christian, Certi� ed Personal Trainer, say they are excited to be guest speakers at the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show at the North Thompson Agriplex on Saturday, Apr. 27, at 12:45 p.m.

The pair are prepared to share with Trade Show and Expo attendees how to make the “healthy choice, the easy choice!”

With ever increasing rates of childhood and adult obesity, diabetes and other preventable illness-es, there has never been a better time for a healthy approach to weight loss that is based on science. Low Glycemic eating is proven to stabilize blood sugars, end food cravings and emotional eating.

Laura and Cheryl have taken the science and transformed it into a plan that provides easy to follow recipes, quick prep ideas and even teaches people how to shop for the right ingredients.

The pair have shared the Low GI message with people across Canada and the United States including:

• Canadian Diabetes Association

• BC Ministry of Education

• British Columbia Nutrition Council

• British Columbia Hydro

• BC Food Systems Network

• Society for Nutrition Education (USA)They’ve also been featured on television and

radio programs across Canada.“Learn about a 30 day complete Low Glycemic

eating and lifestyle plan that will get you off the diet ‘merry go round’ forever,” says Cheryl. “This dynamic weight management and lifestyle seminar has helped thousands achieve optimal health. The positive feedback from those who are following the approach has been inspiring,”

Presentation attendees will learn about:• Weight management and weight loss using the

Glycemic Index• Eating for diabetes prevention and manage-

ment• “Quick prep” healthy meal ideas for

the entire family• How to boost your energy and immune system• The bene� ts of cellular nutrition for disease

prevention• The importance of active living• Healthy family lifestyle challenge tools and

resourcesLaura and Cheryl will have their Low GI Meals

in Minutes Cookbook for sale at the event.Find out more at: www.lowgimeals.com and

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Now that you’ve taught your dog the basics of obedience, what if you’re

looking for more? A new sport fostering all of these things is

sweeping the dog world and that sport is Rally Obedience, or Rally-O. More control, more focus from your dog, more obedience, more communication, with much more of a bond.

During the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show there will be a Rally

Obedience demonstration given by Mary Ma-cLennan, on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.. The demon-stration will take place outdoors, in the small livestock show ring directly behind the Trade Hall/Curling Rink.

Rally Obedience is a wonderful, fun dog obedience sport, open to all dogs, purebred or mixed breeds and their handlers. Rally Obedi-ence goes beyond basic heeling by interspersing over forty obedience movements with the sits turns and paces of traditional heeling along with some agility moves in the more advanced stages. It requires a brisk pace, positive attitude and happy demeanor.

Rally was created in 2000 by Charles “Bud” Kramer, the gentleman who pioneered the first American agility program back in l984. He cre-ated Rally to be less stiff than formal competi-tion obedience, and was looking for a way to improve the dog-handler bond.

The Canadian Association of Rally Obedi-ence (CARO) was established in 2002 so that dogs could earn titles right here in Canada. This new sport is intended to promote positive relationships between dogs and owners based on trust and respect, in fact extra points in Rally trials are often given for “good attitude”.

The dog is guided by his handler through a course compiled of up to 22 stations. At each station is a sign with a required exercise on it, a beginners course could include “Sit, Down, Sit, or “halt, turn left, sit and recalls.” It is a timed competition and as the dogs gain skill and con-fidence more difficult levels are introduced.

In CARO Rally, the handler may talk and give hand and body signals to his or her dog

throughout the performance, luring with food in the novice classes is permitted. Attitude is actually more important in Rally than preci-sion. Rally is for those who desire an enjoyable

activity with their dogs that is fun and games. It is not always easy, but chal-lenges you and your dog in a partnership that improves heel-ing, teamwork and enhancement of the human-dog bond.

If your dog has successfully complet-ed obedience classes and you are looking for something more to do with your dog then Rally Obedience may be for you.

If you are inter-ested in learning more about Rally-O, speak to Mary at the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show.

If your dog is in need of learning ba-sic obedience basics before you move on to Rally-O, you can find out how to sign you and your dog up for a six week Basic Obedience class by calling Good Dog Obedience instructor Jill Hayward, at 250-319-8023. Jill offers classes at the Fall Fair facility in Bar-riere, approximately three to four times a year.

Rally Obedience: Fun for dogs and handlers

Mary MacLennan takes her poodle ‘Halo’, through some of the stations in a Rally Obedience course. Mary and Halo will be giving a Rally-O demonstration on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. during the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show.

If you’d like the answer to these questions, make sure you catch the presentations in the

North Thompson Agriplex Hall during the Cel-ebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show.

Drake Smith, MSW, will be a feature speaker at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, and at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, with his presentation: ‘After Your Bucket List Ends– Then what?’

“Here are just some of the questions I hear from clients every day,” says Drake:

“Should you preplan your funeral or crema-tion arrangements? Cremation is simple, isn’t it? Should you pre-pay funeral expenses? Scatter the ashes, or bury in the cemetery? Why do you need a will? Blended families: how do you avoid funeral nightmares? Are there special consider-ations if members of your family live far away?

What do you need to know if you are diagnosed terminally ill in Barriere and surrounding com-munities?” and “What about hospice and other supports?”

The answers may surprise you, but they will surely better prepare you for the inevitable day when your bucket list ends.

Drake will be addressing these matters with humour and sensitivity.

Questions from the audience will definitely be welcomed and encouraged.

Drake Smith has lived and worked in the North Thompson valley for eight years. As owner of North Thompson Funeral Services in Barriere and Clearwater, he has served hundreds of families in the valley since 2005. He holds a Master’s degree in Gerontological Social Work. Prior to enter-ing the funeral service profession, he spent over 20 years work-ing with seniors in the areas of housing, recreation, alcohol and drug counselling, se-niors’ radio, outreach, and crisis interven-tion. He aims (and more often than not succeeds) at making a lively discussion out of a deathly matter.

North Thompson Funeral Services Ltd. will have a booth in the Trade Hall, or you can contact them by calling Clearwater at; 250-674-3030, or Barriere at: 250-672-1999. Toll Free: 1-877-674-3030. www.NorthThompson-Funeral.com

Storytelling comes in all sorts of shapes and styles, whether through poetry,

music, puppets, or from a book, it is also wholesome entertainment for all ages. You’ll find some special storytelling free of charge happening during this year’s Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show, being staged within the upstairs lounge area inside the Trade Hall/Curling Club facility. Open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Storytelling speaks from all facets of our lives, our culture, how we were raised, values we have found dear, and is often reflected in humorous events worth telling and retelling. In these times of great technological advances, when folks are dependent upon cell phones, In-ternet, and high budget Hollywood movies for their cultural input, we are challenged to relate with the more simplistic version of storytelling, which is person to person, and heart to heart.

Rae Lee Fraser, a Barriere teen who recently won the Country 103 Rising Star Award at the 2013 Kamloops Cowboy Festival for her original rural lifestyle poetry, will be performing both Saturday and Sunday.

A presentation on Aboriginal Heritage by Cindy Wilgosh, from Aboriginal Engagement Success by Six, will be an interesting and co-lourful session for all ages to enjoy.

Gordie West, a North Thompson Valley country and western music performer, will be entertaining the crowds with his musical story-telling both days as well.

Andrea Belanger will take to the stage with her puppet performance, geared more towards the kids, and she will be helping the kids to make their own sock puppet as well.

Lauren Powers will be reading some clas-sic stories from well renowned storytell-ers throughout the weekend, which will include “The Man Who Planted Trees” by Jean Giono; “That Which Never Dies” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes; and perhaps a ghost story or two from her native home in Alabama, which speak to the culture, and historical aspect of the Deep South.

Check the sched-ule on page 2 for the lineup of presenters.

Additionally, a Story Swap session is planned, so folks local or not, young or old, can participate by telling some of their own stories in a casual coffeehouse atmosphere. So bring your stories and

join us in this delightful aspect of the Expo! If you want to let us know ahead of time of your plans to participate, that’s great. Otherwise, just come, and we’ll fit you in to the line-up!

So when you’re feet are tired of walking around the Trade show, come on over to the Coffeehouse in the Trade Hall/Curling Club, kick your feet up, and be entertained. We look forward to seeing you there.

Coffeehouse storytelling welcomes all ages

Rae Lee Fraser, a Barriere teen who recently won the Country 103 Rising Star Award at the 2013 Kamloops Cowboy Festival for her original rural lifestyle poetry, will be performing both Saturday and Sunday at the Cof-feehouse Storytelling, being staged within the upstairs lounge area inside the Trade Hall/Curling Club facility.

Country and Western singer and storyteller

Gordie West will perform at the Storytelling Cof-

feehouse daily at 4 p.m. Gordie will also be out and about throughout the Expo and Trade show entertain-

ing visitors and vendors with his music.
