The Doukhobor Friends Quartet, (I-r): Natalie Voykin, Ann Chursinoff, Edna Sapriken and Karen Markin raised their
voices in harmony at the National Exhibition Centre in Brilliant earlier this month. The event was a celebration of

Doukhobor women and their accomplishments. In the background is a wall-hanging by Jan Kabatoff.

art representing reality. The

This exhibit was not meant to
be viewed as a study of Doukho-

persecutions in the Russian past
to the squabbles with govern-
ments in Saskatchewan and
British Columbia.

However, while reflecting

The four women artists fea-

of the artists used standard artistic
techniques while two of them
explored artistic media in a more
adventurous way.

Catherine Perehudoff of
Saskatoon. Saskatchewan, pre-
sented five acrylic portraits of
Doukhobor women spanning
five generations. The images
evoked for Perehudoff the “sen-
sitivity, pride, and pensive mood
of each woman.”

Polly Faminow from White
Rock, BC. presented a series of
charcoal and pastel drawings of
traditional Doukhobor women
costumes—meant to be slightly

ed a “long-time interest in creat-
ing stylized figures with an
exaggerated bulkiness.”

in the past

These colorful tapestries were
collages that picked up fragments
of Doukhobor life that had been
passed on in story. Silkscreen
images, faded like old family
photographs, merged with the
textile background.

Kabatoff used photos, newspa-
per clippings, and Russian lan-
guage text to give us traces of
Doukhobor culture as it had come
down to her.

Alana Kapell from Kingston,
Ontario, but formerly from Cano-

One of these represenied a tra-
ditional quilt featuring imprints
of old photographs and song
sheets for each patch. Another
used the same technique to asso-
ciate images of wonwn to draw-
ings of key vegetables.

In the small gallery, a show
curated by Dr. Mark Mealing
gathered together a number of
traditional woven rugs, a few arti-
facts, and numerous photographs
The photos were made up of two
groupings—from the early part of
the century and from the contem-
porary period

Featured were reproductions of
photographs taken by Edith Wat-
son when she was traveling
through the West Kootenays from
1919-1921. These images docu-
mented sensitively the everyday
life of women from that period.

More recent contemporary
photographs by Donna Guillemin
completed the display. A young
Doukhobor photographer origi-
nally from the West Kootenays,
Guillemin captured women’s
work offen in an evocative way.

This exhibition is at the NEC
until May 22. The show is so
remarkable that it should be com-
pulsory for everyone in the West
Kootenays to attend. We would
all be wiser knowing this portion
of our historical background.

Get a Grip on
(Repetitive Strain Injury)
Prevention can save pain and
even job loss,
physiotherapists advise

RSI

TORONTO - Today RSI
(repetitive strain injury)
causes thousands of work-
related injuries annually -
and that number is sure to
rise, physiotherapists warn,
as more and more Canadians
become rooted to the spot at
computers all day, repeating
the same hand/arm motion.

In light of this, it’s
appropriate that, this year,
National Physiotherapy
Week (April 23 - 29) and
Professional Secretaries
Week (April 24 - 27)
coincide - for secretaries
certainly do celebrate their
physiotherapists. In fact,
more and more executive
assistants and other office
workers are coming to see
their physiotherapist as
their best advisor when it
comes to workplace health
in general - and beating RSI
in particular. a
What is RSI, exactly?

Repetitive strain ‘injury is
what its name implies: an
injury caused by working in a
fixed position, with only a
very limited amount of
movement, for long periods of
time. RSI can affect any part
of the upper body and can
strike not only office workers,
but also anyone with busy
hands: musicians, assembly
line workers, hairstylists and
butchers. Injuries are
compounded by the
application of force and by
hard work surfaces, vibration
and certain hand tools.

Untreated, the effects of
RSI can be devastating.
Some sufferers need constant
medication for pain relief or
resort to repeated surgery.
RSI includes job-related
carpal tunnel syndrome (an
injury involving a crucial

nerve in the hand) and also
tendinitis (inflammation of a
tendon in the elbow area).

Fortunately, over recent
years, physiotherapists have
devised tests to identify
exactly which tissues are
affected, where and why -
and have developed
treatments to prevent and to
relieve RSI.

Explains Toronto physio-
therapist and Canadian
Physiotherapy Association
member Genevieve Sadak,
“Today, virtually everyone in
any modem office operates a
computer and employees at
all levels are spending more
and more hours at their
workstations. Downsizing
and the fear of downsizing
are taking a toll, with many
more employees eager to
work overtime.” Small
wonder that RSI has become
an “epidemic.”

Nevertheless,
physiotherapists agree that
there are three easy steps
anyone can take which will
go a long way towards
preventing RSI. These steps
are, first, correcting posture;
second, taking regular rest
breaks; and third, exercising.

+ Posture. Sit tall. Be sure
your back is _ firmly
supported. The farther
forward you lean without
support, the faster you may
develop back problems.
Keep shoulders relaxed, hips
and knees at the same height,
arms at desk level and feet
flat on the floor on on a
footrest. Keep wrists straight,
if necessary using a wrist rest
or perhaps a folded towel, so
your hands aren’t held too
high or at an awkward angle.

+ Rest breaks aren’t a
luxury. “Rest breaks don’t
mean leisurely hours in the
cafeteria,” explains
physiotherapist Sadak. But
breaks of a few minutes after
two hours or so of using

+ Stretching and other
exercises. Athletes and
dancers prepare their bodies
for maximum performance,
and so should anyone élse at
high risk for RSI. It won't
help if you just copy what a
nearby colleague is doing,
however. Some exercises can
