- Stark to star

By RON NORMAN
Editor

A Rossland native who plans to make a multi-million
dollar feature-length-film about the B.C. Doukhobors has
just signed an agreement with the Soviet Union's
Sovinfilm to write, star in and co-produce Chekov, @
90-minute teleplay.

John Stark, best known for his one man tour-de-force
portrayal of Steplien Leacock, says for the first time the.
Soviets will permit the use of the Anton Chekov home in
Yalta as the set.

Stark is also having a second go at The Spirit
Wrestlers, a feature about the Doukhobors. The film was,
abandoned last year when the Doukhobor Village in
Ootischenia burned to the ground in an arson fire and the
director, Emir Kusturica, returned to his native
Yugoslavia. Stark planned to use the village as the
location for filming the movie.

Stark has replaced Kusturica~with internationally
known ‘Canadian director Ted Kotchelf. Kotcheff has
directed the Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, based on

models summer shorts

Mair first came to widespread attention when his

provincial Images and Objects exhibit. Since then, he has
received\several awards and scholarships for his work.

“In ny work, I concentrate on the formal qualities of
objects afd entities in the outside world,” Mair says. “By
exploring such relationships of dark and light, positive and
negative space, and the results of repetition within the
structure, I hope to establish a complex set of interactions
through the use of ordinary, if not banal subject matter.

“In this sense, I do not try to rely on sentimental or
emotional elements to convey a ‘message.’ I do most of my

Walker, a self-taught artist from Nakusp has been
featured twice in the provincial Images and Objects juried
exhibit, including this year where his submission was one of
17 chosen to represent the region.

Having had two one-man exhibits in Kaslo and Nakusp
Walker is well known to the northern section of the West
Kootenay. H he has remained largely i ed
in the southern portion, until this exhibit at the West
Kootenay NEC.

“The° work I have been developing for the past few
years has been in an impressionistic approach,” says Walker.
“I have been working in a pointalist technique similar to a
Seurat style. I have been studying different: color theories
and approaches and have recently been developing paintings
that plify the use of i y contrast.

“The imagery I have been developing has been to my
immediate surroundings using my family and friends as
models. I have been developing an awareness of the

the production.

He has received a $6,000 grant from First

discussed broadcasting rights with BCTV. He is also
seeking funding from private investors.

These two young artists came to the Centre's attention
in September, 1985, when Mair's work “Edge of Town” and
Walker's “Built by Isaac” were selected by jurists as the
most successful submissions of the Centre's 10th Annivers

“tn the Heart of Downtown Castlegar

Hansen fought self-pity

By JIM TAYLOR
s Columnist

ports

He was 15 years old, lying in a bed, knowing he'd never
be able to use his legs again. Down in the dark and
frightening hole into which his mind had retreated he saw a
picture of himself, trapped within four walls of an
institution for the rest of his life, with faceless strangers
feeding him, dressing him, lifting him to and from bed.

And something in him said, “No!”

It would not be that way. He wouldn't let it be that way.
Maybe he couldn't walk — but he could live. Maybe he'd be
tied to a chair — but he could reach out and grab the best life
he could. Maybe he couldn't win — but he could fight.

And so Rick Hansen declared war on himself, He fought
self-pity,’ he fought despair, he fought the pain and
frustration as he forced his mind and heart to focus on one
goal: he would rebuild his shattered body to the best it could
be, and drive it as far and as high as it could go.

No one will ever know how often he wanted to quit, how
often he cried, how often he pounded his fists into the arms
of the hated wheelchair, how often he was tempted to crawl
back down into that hole forever. But he never did. Instead,
he’s just kept fighting — for 13 years.

And he’s won. He's won big. He won wheelchair

will spill him from the chair.

And for the first time since that day in the bed, Rick
Hansen feels helpless.

He’s winning the physical part. He can live with the pain
and conquer the hills. He can't raise the money. That's up to
the rest of us, and lucky ones not tied by fate to a set of
wheels. All he can do now is keep rolling — and pray we
understand.

‘The purpose of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion world
tour is to celebrate the ability of all people to overcome
the les and ks that life p

marathons around the world. He's played ehais
basketball. He’s been named (with Wayne Gretzky)
Canada’s male athlete of the year. He's earned his degree in

J physical education. He's met the Pope.

‘And now he has another goal. He wants to wheel his
chair 25,000 miles around the world to raise $10 million for
spinal cord research, and to focus attention on the thousands
in chairs and the thousands more who will be until we find an
answer. He's been out there wheeling through rain and heat,
inching his way up hills so steep the slightest tilt backward

‘The tour has inspired people, from all walks of life, to
join forces and work together to create a better quality of
life.

Everyone has dreams and goals; as well as
challenges to which they must respond. This very reality
presents itself as the common bond between us. Rick's
philosophy and message are one: “There is nothing we
can't do if we set our minds to it.”
