So, this is exactly what Duane did. It worked. This man, who I perceived as a nice carrying person turned into this viscous orangutan, spitting his words in my face!
Now I had to go outside and start a campfire, getting ready for my next segment. He quickly pointed to the stack of wood in the yard I would use, so I nodded. He told me to be ready in 5 minutes.
Once again I nodded, still fuming inside by how I was treated. Soon, the five minutes went by and no Duane English. I was getting really concerned after 15 minutes, as my little campfire was smouldering into nothing more then white ash. So, like anyone else, I fuelled up the fire with more wood.
As soon as I did this, a crew member came running out barking orders at me to stop using up the wood. I tried to explain to him, Duane English told me to use it. This character was NOT going to listen to anything I had to say. He was outright rude! So the campfire turned into a smouldering pile of white ash. Soon afterwards, Duane English came hustling out. I tried my best to explain why, but to my little radar, I saw that little smirk on his face.
Right there and then, I knew it was a set-up. He wanted me to fail and made sure one of his bolstering crude crew members, came out to make sure I would become a laughing stock on LIVE television. Another girl came out to do the forward segment with me. We were supposed to roast marshmallows on a nice open fire. She looked at the campfire and looked at English.
Here we were the girl and I roasting marshmallows on a white ash dead fire pit to over , people — LIVE! The marshmallows were stone cold! So, mad and determined, I set out to make the best ten minute segment I could imagine. I even made it look like the girl and I were old friends from way back. To my disbelief, the Executive TV Producer phoned me up, asking if I wanted to do another couple of segments. My fans seemed to love me. The Executive TV Producer told me, the reason they loved you so much, was because you showed them what really happens to a green-horn out in the woods.
My fans compared me to them. Oh boy! The thought they compared me to a bubbling fool in the wilderness. I went on another couple of shows, with one explaining what really happens when you get lost in the wilderness. Using only my own determination for survival skills, I was lost for over 14 hours in the middle of British Columbia rugged terrain, with evidence of a rogue Grizzly.
My shows were a success! The Edmonton owner was interested with my segments and wondered if I be interested in doing this part time. But I quizzed him, if he saw my performances, and the fact, my shows were portrayed as a green-horn lost in the woods?
It all sounded good, but when it came down to it, he decided to go with hunters perspective instead. Which is kind of sad, because I was looking forward to a career in showbiz. Mind you, today, with all the reality shows of mix-matched lives of celebrities, I figure I do well with the green-horn effect out in the wilderness.
Both control you! Outdoors you can be the best-of-the-best and in a second, a precarious weather situation or rogue Grizzly bear , could place you in a pickle! He taught me what lies get it? PS — I love the Okanagan! Raised in Vernon BC. This time of the year, cherry season is in full bloom, as are fresh picked blueberries and raspberries. The Okanagan offers an abundance of fresh fruit beginning early Summer depending on weather to late Fall, offering crisp varitites of apples and juicy Okanagan peaches.
Lumby used to be the place for loggers and basically some pretty rough characters, while Vernon was always this slumber quiet town with a close net community. My parents owned the Spudnut Shop Spudnuts are potatoe made doughnuts that would always melt in your mouth on Main Street in Vernon. Brought up in the life of working in a restaurant taught me the long hours of hard work.
Trust me when I say, restaurant life is hard hard work. But it does have its awards too. Fresh Bluberries and Cherries Photo Credit: Tianndra Demers Go in the summer months and experience the fresh fruits home grown, enjoy the abundance of select dining or luncheon adventures, take in the water activities at Kal and Okanagan Lake and by all means, go hiking and explore the vast beauty of British Columbia — the Okanagan, my home.
My favourite is Predator Ridge. Not an avid golfer, but I have played a few times. By Bari Demers — storyteller. At first, like my sister-in-law figured, it must be just a look-a-like. It was just in , where actress Nicole Kidman and her husband, Country Star, Keith Urban were discovered enjoying a hockey game with the Vernon Vipers. The storyline begins with a young woman returning to her hometown, who ends up becoming harassed by a crime boss. Anthony Hopkins is the ex-logger willing to help out the distressed woman.
Growing up in Vernon, we commonly passed through Lumby heading for our fishing and hiking expeditions around Shuswap Falls. Each filming project is a costly one, to be sure. We have a wonderful selection of celebrities who would fit this troubling young hunter, along with a small cast of six actors.
Like all screenwriters already know, your screenplay had better be good, because, if they do come calling, it could be your first and only chance. So make it good! For all those who lived in Vernon, my mom owned and operated the Spudnut Shop. My mom still resides in Vernon,B. In southern beautiful British Columbia lies a western Canadian banana belt called the Okanagan Valley.
Twenty years ago it was considered the best kept secret until the Coquihalla highway lead a easy path from Vancouver to Kelowna, through to Kamloops, B. Since then, the summer oasis has been recognized world-wide boasting visits from Hollywood Stars, such as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. It was even said my mom made the best burgers in town! Raised in the Okanagan I became very familiar with great tourist spots, such as Silver Star Resort, Big White just outside of Kelowna , the turquoise bluish waters of Kalamaka Lake and the once glacier feed Okanagan Lake.
Sparkling Hill Resort — a 5 star hotel resort a few kilometres south of Vernon or a short drive from Kelowna International Airport. Nestled in the valleys mountainous ridge overlooking the majestic Okanagan Lake and only feet away from the famous Predator Ridge Golf Course. Featuring an oasis of Spa Treatments along with tantalizing gourmet meals at their PeakFine restaurant. Be sure to try your evening dinner on the best patio in town. Delta Grand Okanagan Resort overlooks Okanagan Lake featuring the luxury of private pools, restaurants, shops, conferences center and pubs.
If you like to gamble , the Casino is easy access from the hotel. Four Points by Sheraton — newly opened in , this Starwood chain hotel is a featured little gem easy access to the Kelowna International Airport. Great for the whole family or the business executive. The best kept secret soon to become well know throughout the Okanagan. Silver Star Resort — a long time favourite of mine with fond memories of my very first skiing lessons at age ten.
Since then, Silver Star has grown into a world class resort owned and operated by the Australian family, the Schumann. Silver Star was purchased by the Schumann in by previous owner Judd Buchanan.
