Magician Leif David packed the Keremeos Library Friday night, November 15 for an entertaining 40 minutes. Approximately 109 children and 100 adults covered just about every inch of floor space not supporting book shelves in the library. David, who told the audience that he had been practising his craft for 19 years, noted that he initially learned about magic through library books. Throughout his act, references were made regarding the value of books and reading to the youthful group represented. David had the audience delightfully engaged throughout the performance. “The numbers exceeded our expectations,” said Librarian Debra Holley. “It was an amazing performance that had the kids captivated.” It was the B.C. born magician’s second appearance in Keremeos.

Highway maintenance crews return to Yellow Lake Contributed Traffic on Highway 3A at Yellow Lake was interupted periodically between November 6 -14 while work crews made repairs to the concrete barriers lining the highway around the lake. Robert Adam, Government Com-
munications and Public Engagement officer for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said that the ministry’s maintenance contractor undertook repair work to shoulder erosions along Highway 3A at Yellow Lake. The crews also installed approxi-
mately 35 drainage barriers and constructed asphalt spillways to prevent future shoulder erosion along the section of highway, which had been extensively reconstructed by widening the right of way to include paved shoulders in 2011. The work is now substantially com-
plete, with a small amount of drainage work still to be done. The project should be fully completed by the end of this week. “These repairs have strengthened the highway along the shoulders, improving safety for the travelling public,” Adam said in a statement from the ministry.
