All about thos

‘Tis the season for garage
sales, Or should we call them
yard sales? Some people have
them in the carport or on the
driveway. No matter where
they're held, you'll find a strange
bit of entertainment associated
with them.

Why do we have garage sales
anyway? Do we really believe
we're going to make a lot of
money? Not likely, but we can’t
simply throw out that junk that's
been lying around. It's of no use
to us—and hasn't been ‘since a
day or two after it was bought—
but it might be needed by some
unwary buyer.

Some householders use a
garage sale as a good excuse to
clean house or, better yet, Clear
the house. These people are con-
sumers who buy, buy, buy, so
each year there's a lot of crap to
get rid of.

A few people are moving
away, so what better way to cut
moving costs than to have a
garage sale. The garage-sale
sharpie looks for these types of
sales. Lots of good stuff is avail-
able at very low prices.

Very rarely do you find a
garage sale with good junk—
things that you buy because you
can't do without them, Many
people in fact are simply selling
trash that they should have
hauled to the dump. Who needs

that glass ashtray, that shoeshine
kit, that plastic vase, that
scratched record, or those skis
from 15 years ago!

Garage sale junkies come in a
variety of shapes and styles,
First, there's Earl the Early-bird.
If the ad indicates the sale will
begin at 9:00, Earl will be snoop-
ing around at 8:30. Sometimes
he sits in his car out on the street,
looking annoyed that you haven't
opened yet. Other times, he is

One of the biggest successes however, was the Arrow Lakes cruise
by Do-Un-To Charters.

“The cruise went over excellent, and the visitors had a fabulous time. It
was also the perfect opportunity at the start of the conference to get to know
everyone in a real social atmosphere. It really set the place for the rest of the
week, Chernoff continued.”

As well as Chernoff, hostesses for the tours were women repre-

area’s ethnicity was a priority
when planning events. As a
result, the visitors spent time at
the Doukhobor Historical Muse-
um, located across from the
Castlegar Airport, and tasted
Russian food at the Spinning
Wheel Restaraunt. All delegates
were treated to a performance by
the Kootenay Men’s Choir, who
performed a number of Russian
folk songs. The standing ovation
and cries for an encore were a
pleasent surprise for Chernoff.

“The visitors really appreciated seeing the Russian influences here,”

said Chemoff.

Quilts, embroidery, thread, yarn
and wallhangings are the tools and
ium of the New i
artist Bettina Maylone. She uses
the medium as a visual story-
telling vehicle. The observation of
events and incidents in her life are
recounted with pleasure and joy in
a graphic yet fanciful depiction
employing thread and fabric, just
as another artist might use draw-

ing or painting.

‘Whether the work is a large quilt
or small square of fabric, a
momentary but moving event is
encapsulated much as a film clip
might summarize a longer story. In
this sense, it is significant that
Maylone ‘has produced three ani-
mated films employing progressive
or sequential embroidery work that
‘evolves’ from frame to frame in
the film. Her wall pieces also have
some of the character of the ‘story-
boards’ that animators use to pre-
view their concepts in the

Islands” may be seen at the
gallery during the exhibition.

There is a poignancy mixed
with humour in Maylone’s work
and in the way she describes her
view. In a comment about her
“Wiseacre Quilt” she says:

“I have collected the colourful
sayings that my friends come out
with. My 98-year-old neighbor
sat down and wrote out a whole
page of them for me. I wanted to
make a quilt with these words on
it to sleep under so that I would

Karen Hunter:

Patterned Reasoning

Karen Hunter's recent paint-
ings are strongly reminiscent of
quilts and fibreworks. But instead
of fabric and thread, Hunter uses
painting and drawing materials to
capture a sense of the qualities of
pattern and form that are com-

through the use of quiltmaking
patterns. Quilt patterns also rep-
resent rich social, political, spiri-
tual and natural histories.”

One could conclude that deal-
ing with the issue of the duality
of ‘space’ in paintings is very
much an intellectual process,
devoid of ‘soul’. But Hunter's
work is in fact quite charged with

believe that “no early birds”
applies to him.

Partway through the garage
sale, you nearly always have to
deal with Barb the Bargainer.
You have a few bedding plants
left over to sell, so you're asking
about half the nursery price.
Barb, though, wants a lower
price yet. If it's going for 50
cents, she asks if you'll take 25
cents. If they're three for a dol-
lar, she'll ask if you'll throw in a
few extra. Her aim is to barter
on something selling for a dime
and get it for a nickle. Some-
times too when she goes to pay,
she'll be short 40 cents or so.
She counts on you giving in—
and you usually do. By this time,
you're either angry or you don't
give a damn.

Ian the Invader is another
garage-sale type that shows up.
He's not content to stay in the
cordoned off area. You'll find
him on the other side of ropes
and behind tables you've set up
as boundary markers.

Sometimes he’s at the other
end of your carport looking long-
ingly at your best sprinkler hose.
Or he'll haul one of your kids’
bikes out of the sideyard and ask
why it’s not priced. As well, he'll

Lou the Looker shows up at
every garage-sale. There must be
hope springing eternal in her
breast. She seertis to be looking
for something quite specific but if
asked could never tell you what it
is. Perhaps she is hoping you'll
have put out the family china and
given it a firesale price.

But with Lou, you can never
tell. She fingers a lot of items but
usually goes away without spend-
ing any money. The joy for her is
in looking—and possibly finding
that once in a lifetime item.

Then there's Sally the Sell-
again buyer. She is looking for
middle of the road junk—and she
wants it as cheap as she can get
it. Each Saturday for several

months, she haunts the local
garage sales and hauls away bun-
dles and bundles.

Then one Saturday she too has
a garage sale. Lo and behold, the
stuff you sold her last month is
now up for sale again—but at a
higher price.

The list of characters could
go on and on. Colin the collec-
tor shows up often as does
Annie the antique addict. Colin
is after a certain type of item

heads while Annie is assessing
the glass or furniture to see if
