Author protects
Ogopogo legend

By JOYCE LANGERAK
Okanagan Sunday

VERNON (CP) — Okanagan-born
author Jay Connolly wants to save
Ogopogo from the clutches of com-
mercialism.

To Connolly, 27, Opopogo is not
a cute, green tourist attraction, good
only for decorating T-shirts, plastic
toys and mugs.

To him, Ogopogo is Naitaka —
Water God.

Dancewater Blues is a captivating
and thought-provoking adult novel
about an elderly white man who has
lived on the shore of Okanagan Lake
most of his life. As a youth, Brady
Stuart saw Naitaka rise from the
waters of the lake, and touched the
monster.

The experience left him in awe of
the creature known to Interior Salish
Indians for more than 300 years as
Naitaka — Water God.

Intent on protecting Naitaka from
those who would take the creative
captive for tommercial display,
Stuart races to locate the mythical
monster before they do.

“*It’s an adventure story about the
fight between high-tech searchers
with subs and sonar equipment“and
this old fellow’s attempt to stop
them,”’ the author says.

Connolly says Dancewater Blues is
an attempt to return Naitaka to the
realm of myth, or to make the lake
creature — whatever it may or may
not be — legitimate.

“It’s been devalued by white
cultures who miss the understanding
of it.””

Connolly realizes that the subject
matter of the novel may lead
Prospective readers to think Dan-
cewater Blues will be a ‘‘silly story.””

Not so, says the author.

“I hope it will be a serious story.
Ogopogo is a metaphor for issues of
faith and belief in a technological

society. I think this novel is affir-
mative,"’ he says. “‘I hope it is life-
affirming. I hope it provides an
engaging way of looking at the
world.””

Born in Dawson Creek, in 1962,
Connolly grew up in the Okanagan
Valley, attending elementary school
in Kelowna, and later, Shawnigan
Lake Independent School on Van-
couver Island.

He studied at Okanagan College,
and obtained his BA and MA from
the University of Victoria. Now
head of the English department at
Shawnigan Lake School, Connolly
returns to the Okanagan as often as
possible.

While in the Okanagan Valley,
though, the author feels uncomfor-
table about the subject matter of
Dancewater Blues.

Here he sees Naitaka transformed
into a cartoon character grinning
from tourist booths and roadside
refuse bins. Here he sees only the
commercial side of what may indeed
be a majestic land-locked creature,
or at the very least, a legend for cen-
turies among the native people.

“*I feel much better about it when
I’m not in the Okanagan,’’ he says.
“I really dislike the Ogopogo image.
It’s become so silly.””

Does he think Naitaka really
exists?

“I think anything’s possible. I
think there are a lot of things we
don’t really understand. I suppose
the novel is an attempt to revere,
rather than the commercial image
that the white culture has imposed
on what should be a _ powerful
story.’*

Researching the archives at the
Kelowna Museum, Connolly studied
everything he could get his hands on
about sightings of the lake monster.

Ogopogo, says Connolly, is a non-
sense word made up by travelling
minstrels in the 1920s.

“They made up a little song that
had the word Ogopogo in it, and
someone took it and applied it to the
creature in the lake.’’

Dancewater Blues opens the reader
to various interpretations of the story
of Naitaka as seen through the eyes
of Brady Stuart, his wife, Therese,
and native and non-native people
living by the lake.

The irony of the story, says its
author, is that Stuart is himself
trying to possess the creature he is in-
tent on protecting.
