This Danish- Greenlander tale reads like a Kafka novel- where it's hard to pin down who's pursuing the heroine and why. Eventually, she sorts out why, but she needs to travel clandes- tinely on a ship bound for a mys- terious island near Greenland to discover who. The final chapters amongst ice and snow on an Arctic island are worth waiting for. Only there do we find out what the G that discovery brings a lot of action Robichaud’s way. Now a small-town detective, Robichaud would like to stay out of the New Orleans graft and slaughter mill But he has no choice, because those wanting what he knows come out to his isolated home and make life difficult. This is Robichaud-New Orleans “tough” at its best Perhaps you'd like a climate comparable to the hot one you'll be experiencing while on vaca- tion. How about a bestselling mystery that takes place in Madrid, Spain? The Flanders Panel, written by Spanish writer Arturo Perez- Reverte, uses the European art child knew that was worth having him killed If you'd prefer warmer climes while you're basking in the sun, you'll love James Lee Burke's new book Dixie City Jam. In a few of his most recent books, Burke has shifted locales between New Orleans and Montana. Dixie City Jam sticks with the New Orleans area with its jazz-haunts, its multi-racial population, and its bayous not far off. This is another Dave Robichaud detective novel, and perhaps it is the best of the Robichaud series. Here you will wind through the streets of New Orleans and out onto the ocean to search for a sunken World War II German U-boat. It seems a lot of people—the New Orleans mafia, a crooked police lieutenant, and the new Nazis—are interested Why? Robichaud gets involved because once when he was deep- sea diving he happened upon a sunken U-boat. For some reason, The Kaslo Jazz Etc. Society presents . .. The Purcell St g Quarter “re-united” ¢ y as its backg d. It reminds me a lot of the novels of Josephine Tey where the writer goes back in time to solve a mys- tery. The clues used are those from the past, but present detec- tion techniques and modern forensic science are brought to bear on the case. In this chamber mystery, Julia, a young art expert in Madrid, is hired to clean a 15th century painting by a Flemish master. Using modem X-ray techniques, she discovers beneath the paint an inscription hidden in a corner Who killed the knight? Julia becomes obsessed with the question. The painting itself depicts a chess match between the Duke of Flanders, his knight, and a dark lady in the background who is reading a book near a win- dow. Hiring a bizarre chessmaster to help her unravel the clues— methodically replaying the chess game depicted on the painting— Julia soon finds her life in danger. Someone among her acquain- tances does.1't want her to discov- er the truth If you like chess, this novel comes with diagrams. If you like the artworld, this novel resonates with the smell of paint and canvas Eventually, we do find out who killed the knight, but the route to conclusion is an intricate one Some other mystery novels I'd Norman Nelson Mare Destrube Philippe Euter Jan Hampton recommend include Joe Gore's 32 Cadillacs (éxtremely funny); Wed., July 19 8:00 p.m. Capital Theatre Nelson You can find antiques, collectables, jase wear, pottery, art, homemade reads. borecht kt western menu | > OPEN TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY Located en past the junction on the Slocan Valley Highway - Reserved Seating - 2/$10 Seniors & Students Tickets at the Capitol 352-6363 BaTMAN FOREVER MORPHINT Qs ANGE 7 THE movie Ge!

Write it in your heart Submitted “Write it in Your Heart and Proclaim it in Song” is the title (translated from Russian) of a double record album that Russian Doukhobors have just released in Russia under the Aprelevka Sound Inc. label in stereo sound. A container of 540 double albums arrived in Canada by ship in June The container was sent by the United Doukhobors of Russia in an effort to raise funds for assist- ing Russian Doukhobors rebuild their organization, including organizing a youth group, print- ing books, and creating a cultural and administrative centre in Moscow. The traditional Doukhobor hymns and psalms are sung by Russian Doukhobor elders of Dzhavakhetia, a Georgian name for the Doukhobors of Bog- danovka from the area where the 1895 arms burning too place. The group came to Moscow in 1990 at the invitation of the Union of Composers of the Rus- sian Federation in cooperation with the Soros Fund which is designed to assist local groups in reviving the cultural traditions of the people.

She joined the Winter Studio Program at the Banff Centre in 1975 and studied painting and printmaking for two winter ses- sions. In 1977 she entered the Photography Program at the Banff Centre under Hubert Hohn and remained inthe program until starting an artist-in-resi- dence program at the Apeiron Workshop in Millerton, New York in June 1979. In 1980, Spohr was one of the photographers invited to partici- pate in a documentary photo- graphic project to celebrate Alberta’s 75th anniversary. Many of Barbara Spohr's prints are one-of-a-kind works While most of her works are undocumented and undated, there are several discernible groupings in the exhibition. They are not specifically chronological because Spohr recycled many images throughout her career. With Spohr’s training in painting, the impulse to draw on and embellish photographs came early. Specific photographic images may have been enhanced by a variety of borders over_a period of years The strategy of printing pat termed borders onto photographs was her means of creating an inti- mate relationship between herself and the image being presented. In the final years of her life, while studying and teaching at the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson, Barbara began to add personal writing to the printed borders of her photographs. This writing was derived from her journal entries and composi- tions, The final development of Barbara’s work was to paint the photographs’ borders in solid colours or patterns appropriate to the i 3 Originating at the Whyte Museum in Banff, Barbara Spohr: Apparent Reasons is com- pleting a national tour. The exhi- bition is accompanied by an 80-page colour catalogue. Showing concurrently is Dual Natures, the vibrant, majolica-glazed pottery of Graeme Allemeersch. According to Allemeersch, the work exhibited deals with three basic ideas: first, the historical duality of ceramics in general— the two-in-one functional and A winner for all apparent reasons Aableaive aspect of pottery, sec- ond, a play on words concerning the pieces themselves being made of two separate forms to com- plete one piece, and the way each part of the piece plays against the other, and third, the sometimes tary natures of form and surface decoration. The interest for Allemeersch, “lies in the way an active surface decoration is able to alter the way we perceive the form of the pot:” Each piece in the exhibit is func- tional and meant to be used “Equally,” Allemeersch says, “each piece functions in a decora- tive manner to enrich the visual life of the user/viewer.” The West Kootenay National Exhibition Centre is a public gallery serving the entire West Kootenay region. It is located outside Castlegar, across from the airport and past ; the Doukhobor village Museum.
