Linda Larsen is our Liberal MLA. Most of us know this. However what don’t we know?
Politicians have always fascinated me, they are doing a job I won’t do! I don’t always agree with them but I do thank them for stepping up to the plate.
We walked down the long hall to her office and I warned her this was going to be a poke in the eye, knock down interview. Was she ready? Linda laughed and I pulled out the questions!
How did you meet Larry, that handsome guy she is married to.
He was a Mountie in Powell River and I worked in a shop and he came in.
What do you want the people to understand about you?
I always try to help and it frustrates me when I can’t.
What was your first job?
Stewardess for PWA.
What is your weakness?
Animals, I’m a contributor to the SPCA. Awful photos of animals make me heartsick.
This leads us to what is your spirit Animal?
My spirt animal would be a cat. I have three – Misty, Princess and Rusty.
I hear when you were younger you sang in a band. What kind of music did you sing?
We sang folk songs, like Peter Paul and Mary. We were called the Mill Town Singers. I sang in choirs too.
I also heard you were a top Avon Lady. What is happening to the business?
It is a thing of the past. So much access now, the door to door market is gone. Even in fundraising for causes like cancer.
What is an early memory?
My best friend Rita and I would make dioramas and put on plays. We would make the fairies and animals and act it out in front of the class.
What don’t you like?
I don’t like to have to make dinner!
How do you make peace profitable?
Food! Food is the defining thing across all countries. Produce enough food to feed your population. No food, causes problems.
The last question is, if you were to write a song about Oliver what would it be?
Warm and Caring
Sharing
The good & the bad!
The most beautiful place!
Thank you Linda, a very enjoyable Chat!

The Artist are out and about on Main St. painting Barrels, the warm up to the Art Walk. Barrels are kindly sponsored by local wineries. Tiffany invites this little guy, who was just out for a walk, to help her paint one of the symbols that will cover her Barrel. Looks like fun!
The Barrel Painting has grown into a community event. We have artist from 7 . . .
. . . to our Queen of the Arts, Sally wearing 80 in a mighty fine style!
Feature artist in the Gallery, Ava, helped Tiffany with some of the details. The barrel design is taking shape . . . nice. Come on down and bid on these great barrels!
I like spray art and hope to learn a few techniques. I am looking forward to the method as well as the final results of this sprayed barrel.
Love watching the hotel go up! The first fancy post of the entrance in place in the morning.
At the end of the day the four post and cross supports in place.
Welcome to the desert, get out of the rain and come into the Gallery to check out Tara, Marion and Ava’s art work! Or just book an appointment at Beyond Bliss for some pampering!
Across the street the artist are starting their barrels. Come on down and see what Lorraine, Katherine, Marion and Duane, the cheerleader, are up to.
Found only here in our little desert.
The Antelope-brush is in bloom, gorgeous! Bright yellow with that black bark.
Just one more reason Oliver is unique and beautiful.

And a sparkly fire truck always makes me smile!
At your service!
