NEC Doukhobor opening a success

The opening night of the two
Doukhobor shows Our Doukho
bor Heritage and What You Need,
Gain by Work was a great success
with 230 people attending. The
Doukhobor Friend's Quartet
music and chorus was an incredi-
bly moving event

Some of the highlights of Her-
itage were Catherine Perehud-
off’s paintings of Doukhobor
women of today. This was a duet
between the video called Write It
on the Heart

Producers have woven together
fragments of oral histones to cre-
ate an experience to move the
watcher through a spuitual event
and get a deeper understanding of
a people

Five women, each of a different
generation, are portrayed in the
paintings and open up to the view-
er in the documentary. The two
media work excellently together.

1995 is a meaningful year to
explore the Doukhobor communi-
ty, marking the 100th anniversary
of the laying down and buming of
government issued guns in Russia
by the Doukho-
bor people.

In the larger
gallery is Polly
Faminow's pic-
tures of Doukho-
bor skirts and
aprons in subtle,
soft shades of
green, beige and
creams and Jan
Kabatoff’s two
mixed media paintings of flowers
with a sunflower as centre theme

Alana Kapel has a large paper
mache quilt which she uses as a
photograph album, reproducing
pictures of original photos. These
have come from the Public
Archives of B.C. in Victoria.

The Belgium linen wall hang-
ings with screen printed overlay,

most original, produced by Jan
Kabatoff. These are just a few of
many other works.

In the smaller room Write [t on
the Heart (curated by Mark Meal-
ing) are many artifacts and some
early 1900 photographs of
women in their work (sifting mil-
let, drying apples, beating seed,
twisting flax and more

Donna Guillemin’s pho-
tographs would be familiar to this
area of the West Kootenays, such
as a picnic lunch at the Doukho-
bor Museum and a great picture
of Mary Relkoff's kitchen full of
“the sweet scent of Borscht”
Donna's photography technique
is excellent

Most of the work will be for
sale. The show will be travelling
to Grand Forks and the coast.

Do you know what the speed
limit is in front of Kinnaird Hall
on Columbia Avenue?

If you drove by there earlier
this month it’s likely that you
now know the speed limit and
the speed you were travelling.

After all, how could you have
missed the speed you were trav-
elling when it was displayed.

‘The speed was then displayed .

In only 1 1/2 hours some 700

that B.C. Gas is recycling its

Prior to receiving the drums
Larsh said that employees,
including herself, threw all
paper into the
garbage cans
dooming them
to landfills. But
now, every-
thing made of
paper is being

ycled.

“Even pages
from manuals
that have to be
replaced are
now being recy-

Another gen-
erator of paper is envelopes con-
taining customer payments,
which, until most recently were
being tossed into the garbage
along with other paper. But that’s
now changed.

“There’s a lot of envelopes
that people put in the overnight
