Travelling Poetry and a beautiful life

Travelling Poetry and a beautiful life

The love of travel comes through loud and clear in the most recent literary work of Louis Creek author/poet Réjean Coallier. His 132 page Travelling Poetry Trilogy is packed full of adventures as he travels through Central America, Mexico, and Canada. Coallier relates all that he sees and experiences, including unexpected romances, and a girl he loved but “couldn’t bring home”.

Winter! If I could think of a way to get rid of all that miserable white stuff, I’d do it post-haste (a fancy P.O. word for NOW).

If you are a visitor in the Biasotti’s home in Louis Creek you’ll notice a photograph of Mario Biasotti standing with Cameron Kerr at the Kamloops wildfire monument. The monument is about the 2003 wildfires, and Mario was used as one of the models for the work.

Another telephone scam

An area resident called the Star/Journal last week to warn others by reporting she had received a call from a phone scammer. She says the scammer said he called “about the error showing on your Windows based computer system”. The caller had a foriegn accent, and when she asked for his business name, number, and where he was calling from, he promptly hung up.
