Les Weisbrich exhibition opens An exhibition of water- colors by Les Weisbrich, in- cluding The Shorelines of Canada Series, will open at the Nelson Museum Monday and run until Aug. 4. The Shorelines of Canada Series is the result of a cross. Canada painting trip that Weisbrich and his wife Dar- lene took in 1984. In the four months they covered over 2,300 kilometres, visiting most of Canada's national parks. Weisbrich completed five major paintings, 53. smaller paintings and 250 sketches. Now a naturalist painter who lives in New Denver, Weis. brich formally ran his own graphic design studio in Los Angeles For more than 20 years he worked up to 16 hours a day seven days a week. In one eight-year stretch he took three days off. A visit to B.C. in'1971 took through the Slocan Valley where they impulsive- ly bought a piece of land. Re- turning to Los Angeles, they closed the graphic design business and returned to the Kootenays to pursue the new career of a struggling artist. It was after the Second World War that Weisbrich studied art officially at the Art Centre and Kahn Art In- stitute in Los Angeles. He taught there briefly and then opened his first graphic de- sign studio in the early 1950s. Since moving to the Koot. enays he has taught at David Thompson University Centre in Nelson, and exhibited and offered painting workshops throughout the Kootenays and B.C. He now acts as a consultant for Selkirk Col- lege Graphic Design stu dents. A workaholic, he paints, mattes and frames up to 100 watercolors a year. them .

This monumental task was made easier by the gener- osity of Marlene Fletcher in donating the use of a one-ton truck from Ryder Truck Rentals.

Heritage Advisory Council, told the Castlegar Rotary club at its Tuesday hight meeting that our central position as a trade and commercial centre goes back to pre-historic times. Long before the coming of the white man, he said, the Columbia and the Kootenay rivers were important hig! detail on local heritage. To the satisfaction of all concerned, he agreed. In his introductory remarks, Dr. Sloan praised the Project Pride royal commission hearings initiated by the Bill Reid, Minister of Tourism, Recreation and Culture. The second to last hearing was held in Nelson earlier this month and attended by Dr. Sloan and Heritage Advisory Committee chairman John Charters who present- eda il on Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park and area. for commerce and this area because it is at the confluence of the two rivers was the hub of a very important fishery and supported a considerable population of the Lakes Tribe of the Interior Salish Indian group. Important fur trading posts were established, first at Spokane and then at Colville, with an extensive traffic in furs going from here down the river highway. When the fur trade started to decline, mining and lumbering came to the fore and thousands of Americans began to pour into this area over the mountains and occupied a considerable part of the local economy. The Oregon Treaty of 1848 established the international boundary but cut off the Columbia as a main highway for trade and commerce. Only when the CPR, recognizing that there was a | profi fit to be made in the K had built east t into the area, bought up American mining rights and i the C d Mining and Company and the West Kootenay Power Company, was the pattern re-established. Today, with ever-improving transportation facilities and a central position, Castlegar's position as a hub city is becoming more firmly established with Trail, Rossland, Grand Forks, Salmo and Nelson forming the spokes. History has made a full circle. Dr. Sloan also made some reference to the heritage of the area — “much influenced by the earlier American influence.” Interest in the topic was intense and questions came fast and furious but acting chairman John Charters terminated the meeting at the normal time and asked the speaker, since he had already given a thumbnail sketch of local history, to return at an early date and speak in more DEPOSITORS CONTINUE TO JOIN SUIT By The Canadian Press EDMONTON — Almost the government of B.C., has ished a strong link between heritage and tourism, he said, a link which will work strongly to the benefit of both, particularly in such places as Castlegar. where the co-operative was ‘€® Easy Access no Stairs FRIDAY NITE BINGO Trail Athletic Association Licence No. 59147 MINIMUM JACKPOT +200 Free Bus Transportation & information sCrultvele.

Just as the group was leaving for an afternoon at Syringa Creek Park, the Very Reverend Fraser Ber- ry, Bishop of Kootenay ar- rived. He was in the area from Kelowna on business for the diocese, had seen the new brochures and wished to see the park. One of these supporters is the new executive director of The B.C. Heritage Branch, Dr. Colin Campbell, who is responsible for proposing changes in the Heritage Act. Dr. Campbell was very active both at the May 28-31 British Columbia Heritage Conference in Kamloops and as a member of the Project Pride panel. Several important announcements were also made at the meeting. Dave Gairns announced that in sponsoring the Pinocchio’s Magical Wish show, the club earned almost $700 for local community projects. He thanked Chuck Cram, Ron Ross, Dr. Waldo Yule, all the Rotarians who sold advance tickets ad assisted at the theatre, and particularly those citizens who supported the project. Jim Gouk reported that one of the host clubs on his 5,600-kilometre bicycle trip from Christina Lake to Phoenix, Ariz. to raise money for the Rotary International Polio Plus project, has raised $20,000 since November. Gouk leaves with a Rotary study’ team of five non-Rotarians for Brazil in September. John Charters announced the visit to Castlegar next month of Dr. Ilya Tolstoy, great grandson of Leo Tolstoy, the world famous writer and humanitarian, sponsor for t! Doukhobor emmigration to Canada and author of the novel War and Peace. On the day of his arrival in July Tolstoy and other distinguished visitors will be guests at a reception at Selkirk College. He will then be given a tour of Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park, since Alexander Zuckerberg was an ardent follower of Leo Tolstoy. He will also be part of a panel of speakers at the Brilliant Cultural Centre at 7:30 p.m. This is a public forum and the admission will be about $5. On the following two days he will take part in the Russian Canadian Festival at Brilliant and make the presentation of a life-size bronze statue of his famous forebearer.
