Nelson Museum presents works
of Kent Crawford in new show

An exhibition of paintings by Kent
Crawford opens at the Nelson
Museum on Dec. | and continues
until Dec. 15,

The artist is a recent newcomer to
Nelson, having moved here from
Vancouver after visiting the area as a
tree planter for some years, the
Nelson Museum says in a news
release.

Crawford paints in acrylics on
mahogany board. His paintings are
inspired by his experience of the
physical landscape of British Colum-
bia, but his technique is to bring the
images to the borders of abstraction.

“The paintings recall times when
my perception
Crawford said. “Appearance,

reawakens,”’

the viewer to enter into the image

tern.””

Crawford was born in Vancouver
and studied fine arts at the Univer-
sity of California at Irvine and in-
dustrial design at Western
Washington University. He has
previously exhibited his work in one-

man shows at the Graphic Edge, Toa
Chen’s Gallery and the Yaletown»
Gallery in Vancouver, and in Nelson
at the Hummingbird Gallery.

In addition to his paintings,
Crawford makes silk-screen prints of
his works. In these screenprints, each

Nelson studio, Crawford is enjoying
cycling in the Nelson area and
photographing the landscapes for
future paintings.

A reception to meet the artist will
be held Dec. 2 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Thie public is welcome.

Faire plans underway

Preparations are in high gear for
the 17th annual Kootenay Christmas
Faire, to be held at the Nelson Civic
Centre on Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1
The annual event features three
days of fine crafts and entertainment
from artists and artisans from the
West Kootenay area, and
traditionally starts off the Christmas
season in festive style, says organizer
Pauline Hanbury, who has lined up

more than 50 booths of fine han-
dmade crafts by Kootenay artisans
featuring affordable Christmas gifts
for every taste. Familiar faces will be
there and a number of new artisans
who have recently made their homes
here will be at the Faire.

Live entertainment by local artists
will be featured on Thursday and
Friday evenings, and a_ special
children’s program is planned for

Saturday morning. The Kootenay
Christmas Faire provides a three-day
meeting and marketplace for the
season and has become a Nelson
tradition.

Faire hours are 4 p.m. to 9 p.m
Nov. 29, 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov
30 and 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. |
Free parking is provided in the

Trees decked out in finest

With the first-ever Nelson Festival
of Trees a matter of days away, the
organizations and groups who are
donating the creative input to
produce a dozen spectacularly
decorated Christmas trees for auc-
tion are beginning to exhibit their
finished products.

The Festival of Trees is a fun-
draising event sponsored by the
Selkirk College Foundation and the
Trail and District University
Women's Club. The gala evening is
modelled on similar events that have
been staged in Edmonton and
Spokane. The trees, each decorated
in a different theme, will be auc-
tioned off after a gourmet meal that
is being prepared and served by
Selkirk College students in the
college’s professional cooking
program.

The Festival of Trees will be held
Nov. 23 at hte Savoy banquet hall in
Nelson.

Those organizations donating the
creative impetus to decorate the trees
include the college’s graphic com-
munications faculty and students,
Rumplestilskein Spinners and
Weavers of Grand Forks, the Grand
Forks Quilt Connection, Harmony
Flowers of Grand Forks, Carousel
Craft of Grand Forks, Selkirk
Weavers and Spinners Guild of
Castlegar, Tulips Floral Co. of
Castlegar, the college’s ad-
ministrative secretaries and the Hair
Annex of Castlegar. Both the junior
and senior hairdressing classes at the
college’s Nelson campus are
designing a tree, as is the Trail Arts
Club.

Planning eases holiday hassles

SASKATOON (CP) — Christmas
means: (A) Good will, giving, and
sharing time with loved ones; (B)
Two weeks of planning, cooking and
fretting for five days of turkey, two
days of dish washing, two months of
bills, two dollars worth of antacid
and one day of festivities.

If the latter definition applies to
your family, you may want to
evaluate the way you celebrate
Christmas.

Leslie Gautschi, who conducts
workshops on trimming down
Christmas for Saskatchewan Con-
sumer and Commercial Affairs, and
The Christmas Book by Alice
Slaikeu Lawhead, offer some helpful
suggestions.

Look at what you do and why
you do it. Do your expectations mat-
ch reality?

“Often we do things, not because
we want to, but because someone
along the line has expected it of us,”
says Gautschi.

After examining her Christmas
traditions, she quit making Christ-
mas cake.

“<1'd spend all this money making
one and no one in the house eats it.””

You may decide to make roast
beef instead of turkey. Make one
dessert instead of 100.

Make a wish list with your family
of what you’d like to happen during
the Christmas season, paying atten-
tion to what went wrong last year.

Did you mail the gifts too late? Ask
too many people over for dinner?

Learn to say ‘‘No.”’ If the only
time of year you see the Johnsons is
to exchange gifts at Christmas, talk
to them about giving cards instead.

Revise your expectations. Examine
whether your visjon of Christmas is
realistic. If you come from a broken
family, don’t anticipate mom and
dad will get together like the old
days. Don’t promise to buy your
children everything they want if
‘gputre’ a single’*parent collecting
social service benefits.

Gautschi says people expect to
fulfil their high expectations of
Christmas and not go over budget.
Instead, take a business-like ap-
proach to this season.

Budget a specific amount monthly
throughout the year for Christmas.
Buy wrap and cards on sale. Pick
names among the family or set a
price limit on gifts. Make presents or
give IOUs for lawn mowing or
babysitting.

Gautschi suggests using a recipe
box to organize gift suggestions and
required supplies.

Be open to suggestions and com-
promise. Your family may have its
own ideas about the Christmas
celebration or may disagree with
some of your ideas. Keep an open
mind.

Don’t be discouraged if your plans
fail. You may think you need to do

all your shopping by September,
only to discover you like the last-
minute hassle. Evaluate what
worked, what didn’t and what you’d
like to do next year.

seen are truly lovely,” said Annie
Holtby, coordinator of the event
which is the first of its kind in the
West Kootenay area.

Holtby was lavish in her praise for
the groups who volunteered to
decorate trees, noting that they are
all so unique and all so well crafted.

The dozen Christmas trees will be
assembled in Nelson on Thursday
and will be exhibited Friday during
the dinner and silent auction of
Christmas handicrafts that precedes
the official tree auction. Tickets are
still available for the event and may
be obtained by contacting the
president’s secretary at the Castlegar
campus of Selkirk College. Tickets
are $40 per person with half the
