Trail Ceaft Faire

Drawing many participants

Most of the 20 affiliates
of the Trail and District
Community Arts Council will
be participating in the Fiesta
Faire scheduled for May 8-10
in the Trail curling rink.

Arrangements for the
demonstrations, exhibits and
entertainment were dis-
cussed at the arts council's
general meeting last Wed-
nesday night. A major new
addition to the faire will be
the West Kootenay Juried
Art Exhibition, sponsored by
the West Kootenay Regional

» Arts Council in co-operation
with the Trail Art Club.

Entries will be judged
by Tony Emery, former Van-
couver Art Gallery curator
who is now teaching art
history at the David Thomp-
son University Centre in
Nelson. There will be a $300
prize for the winning paint-
ing, $100 for a print and $100
for a drawing.

In other business, the
arts council has received ap-
plication for membership
from the Rossland Heritage
Society.

The Registered Music
Teachers’ Association re-
ported that its campaign to
raise funds for the purchase
of a grand piano is off to a
good start. Greg Mallette ox-
plained why the grand is
needed and how the RMTA
has raised $4,000 so far
toward the purchase.

Diane Diaz reported that
the “Access to the Arts”
program for loca! elementary
schools has gone well this
year, with the emphasis on
pottery, speech/arts and
weaving. This is a program
sponsored by the arts council
in co-operation with School
District 11. It involves bring-
ing the arts — through dem-
onstrations by local artists —
into the classroom.

Because this is a pilot
project which has drawn
province-wide interest, the
arts council is preparing a
brochure and an exhibit
about the program for the
B.C. Arts Council conference
in Vancouver, April 18-19.

Bob Tarplett of the Trail
Film Club said the club is
making progress towards the
acquisition of screen and
projector and hopes to have a
better response tv its sched-
ule of films next September.

The A Cappella Singers
are rehearsing for the Inter-
national Choral Festival
which will be held April 12 in
Wenatchee. On April 18 they
will be singing at Columbia
View Lodge. The group is in
the midst of a campaign to
raise funds for the purchase
of new music,

Paintings by local artists
George Bourchier and Jean
Clements are the prizes in a
raffle. Tickets are available
from choir members and will
be on sale at the Bay, April
29 and at Waneta Plaza,
April 25 and 26,

Margaret Powell of the
Trail Historical Society re-
ported that the group had
matched a contribution of $60
by the Trail Arts Council for
a Heritage Award for the
Fiesta Faire. The $100 prize
will go to the piece of art or
craft which best depicts the
heritage and/or culture of
Trail. The winner will be-
come part of the permanent
collection at the Trail Mu-
seum.

The club has purchased a
supply of Elsie G. Turnbull's
book “Topping’s Trail" which
they will be re-selling. The
historical society is involved
currently with the publi.
cation of a history of Trail
with a comprehensive collec-
tion of the best historical
photographs available.

Lee Mendoza reported
that the Theatre Unlimited
production of “Move Over,
Mrs. Markham” had a suc-

cessful three-night run, earn-
ing a profit of more than
$2,000, The club is currently
active in the discussions re-
garding the theatre in the
Proposed arts centre.

The group is considering
entering a one-act play in the
East Kootenay Drama Festi-
val at Fort Steele in May.
They expect to lay out a full
production schedule for plays
in the next year, Mendoza
sald.

WARP boycott list

1, DIETIC CANDY: A
consumer request, Same
product was 99 cents in one
store; $1.25 in another store
on the same block, When
buying dietic foods check the
label for sorbital. It has been
proven to cause some un-
comfortable side effects.

2. CANNED PET
FOOD: This also is another
consumer request. The price
has risen again. Try dry food
— it is more economical.

8. PACKAGED COLD
CUTS: As well as being ex-
pensive, many cold cuts are
processed with nitrites and/
or nitrates as a preservative
and excessive levels of salt
and fat. An expensive choice
with poor nutritional value
and questionable additives.

4, IMPORTED
CHEESE: Support Canadian
products.

& BOTTLED SALAD
DRESSINGS: Consumers
are paying too much for this
item. Water is the main
ingredient in many and a
surprising amount of sugar is
present in most. Try making
your own,

6. DRIED SOUP
MIXES: In tests done by
Consumer Reports soup
mixes were found to be “very
low in nutritional quality”
and a “true chemical feast.”
Check out the additives your-
self... you'll agree. Some of
the boxes contain only one
envelope of soup, we feel this
is misleading and ad added
expense we end up paying
for.

7. SOFT DRINKS: A
very costly item these days.
Leave them on the shelf for
the next two weeks.

Chahko-Mika Mall
adds more tenants

Morris Kowall and As-
sociates and Westcliff Man-
agement Ltd., are pleased to
announce the following addi-
tions to the tenant roster for
the Chahko-Mika Mall in
Nelson, B.C.

Mariposa Fashions, Reil-
ly & McCormick Western
Wear, Cleanitizing (dry
cleaning), Head Shed Unisex
Hair Salon, Reitman’s Ladies
Wear, Shefield & Sons To-
bacconist, major national res-
taurant chain (as yet to be
named) and Saan Stores Ltd.

These names are added
to the list of previously an-
nounced including:

Orange Julius, Kits
Cameras, Tiger T-Shirt Shop,
Shopper’s Drug Mart, Bata
Shoes, Peoples Jewellers,
Carlton Cards, Flipside Rec-
ords and Tapes, as well as
Woolco and Overwaitea
which has been committed
for some time.

Under serious negoti-
ation are two shoe stores,
unisex fashion stores, mens-
wear store, work clothing
store, stereo shop and, two
national ladies’ wear chains.

The addition of the
above committed tenants and
those under serious negoti-
ation will bring the mall to 75
- 80 per cent occupancy.

Construction is on target
and barring any unforseen
delays the shopping centre
will open in late August,
1980. The design of the shop-
ping centre will fit into the
heritage scheme of Nelson
and will be using the history
of the Chahko-Mika as a base
for the pylon sign and the in-
terior of the mall itself.

The exterior of the mall
is going to be faced with
brick and the bulkhead will
be constructed of cedar in-
serts, enhancing the natural
surroundings of the lake-
front.

Parking will be available
for approximately 900 vehi-
cles,

With the opening of the
new shopping plazas in Cas-
tlegar slated for the up-
coming year, the Chahko-
Mika Mall is expected to help
stabilize the retail business in
Nelson and keep its shoppers
in that city.

8, RYE CRACKERS: A
consumer reported an in-
crease on one particular type
to rise overnight from 99
cents to $1.25. Watch for
health food-type rip-offs.
Remember:

1. Packaging is not de-
signed to give us any real
information about the prod-
uct inside. Its purpose is to
get us to buy.

2. Odd Pricing: research
has shown that when a prod-
uct price ends in the number
9 (eg. .29 cents} consumers
will relate it to .20 cents
rather than .20 cents and will
buy more.

8. Food is produced for
profit, not people.

other person with my first name—Bo Derek,"'... Many
of the regulars of NBC's ‘Big Show' are grumbling

Day’ character was temporarily ‘moved away.’ With the
script change now permanent, there will be a lot more
camera time next season for the remaining stars, Bonnle

Vince, has given up acting for a full-time pro tennis
career, He's not doing badly, either. His first win was
$25,000... ‘The cast of ‘Fantasy Island’ had their own

Ricardo Montalban singing ‘Try To Remember.
