Description :
Good Bones Hop Farm. A young couple have dreams of owning their own hop farm. After a fruitless search they discover a long-neglected farm that has been for sale for decades. The crooked real estate agent says that the land is polluted, but inspection proves it is fertile and was a productive hop farm once. Locals tell of a more sinister reason why no one will buy the land. Under threats and intimidation they buy the land anyway and discover a murder. Who did it and how? Instructors: Dianne Volrich and Roland Semjanovs are long-time presenters for North Island College, Mid Island College and many other organizations. Their presentations include eclectic topics ranging from science, history, art and horticulture. Murder Mysteries are a new addition with a library of 8 stories. These are held in classrooms and private gatherings. Dianne is a story-teller, published author and artist. Her past associations include the Vancouver Aquarium and Kiwanis, among others. She is the founder of the Langley Ukrainian Society and a volunteer with Vancouver Island Health. Roland is a photographer, historian and techy. His background is in journalism and he worked on several newspapers in B.C. He also served on Government Environment Assessment boards in the NWT. Currently he is a volunteer with Beaufort Watershed Stewards. Roland and Dianne make their home in Fanny Bay, B.C. where they share a love of growing roses. Presenting talks to garden clubs and hosting tours and teas in their garden occupies much of their time in season. Roland is currently creating a catalog of their large collection of roses.
