Local artist

work in cafe

Local artist Julia Hope
Whittaker is exhibiting her
work in the Homestead Soup
and Sandwich Shoppe in
downtown Castlegar.

Whittaker, a long-time re-
sident of Castlegar, works
with oils, pastels, acrylics
and watercolors. In her work
the viewer sees many phases
of her art as she became in-
terested in composition,
color, tone, texture, shapes,
lines and forms. Recently she
has developed an interest in
cubism and abstraction.

Whittaker was born in
Bremerton, Wash. On the
family’s return to Canada,
her father was captain of the

.” Eleo tug on the Arrow Lakes.

Captain McGauley brought in
logs for the Waldie Mill for
many years.

When they moved to

Whittaker attended high
school in Nelson and later at-
tended the Victoria Normal
School, as well as the Uni-
versity of B.C. for one year.

While attending element-
ary school, Whittaker show-
ed talent in drawing. As a
young child she loved to draw
and paint. As a teacher later
on in Castlegar and Slocan
Park, she made art important
in the lives of her students.
As a young adult, she took a
correspondence course in art
and painted as a hobby.

She married Ross Whit-
taker from Kaslo, settled in
Castlegar and raised a family
of four. After the children
grew up, Whittaker became a
more serious painter. She
took various classes at Notre
Dame and at UBC. Her art

SO THEY GO TO U.S.

Tough to be Russian artist

NEW YORK (AP) — Ernst Neizvestny turned his back
on being the richest sculptor in the Soviet Union so he could
pursue his dream of building The Tree of Life, a 150-metre
tall globe writhing with monumental shapes from his chisel.

Painter Mihail Chemiakin was held for six months in a
Soviet psychiatric institute where “doctors” pumped him
with drugs that made him shudder at the thought of paint.
Soviet authorities uncovered his plan to swim across part of
the Black Sea to freedom in 1973 and sent him to Paris to
avoid an international scandal.

Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid watched oné of
their paintings torn to shreds by police who used bulldozers
to disperse an unofficial art exhibit near Moscow in
September 1974. The pair joined a wave of Jewish
emigration from the Soviet Union three years later, settling
first in Israel and then New York.

All four artists found their way into Manhattan's
fashionable Soho art world, where they were recently
exhibited in separate galleries. However, each has captured
orily 4 portion of his American dream.

“Life is more grown up here,” Chemiakin said in an
interview at his Soho studio. “Life may be gray in the Soviet
Union, but it is like a giant kindergarten. Your boss tells you
what to do, and the state pays for everything — your health
care and apartments.”

PRINTER IGNORED

Chemiakin, 42, has found wealth, earning about

$250,000 a year. But his bright canvases, peopled with weird

creatures reminiscent of the 15th century Dutchman
Hieronymous Bosch, have largely been ignored by important
New York critics. He is better known in California.

Though he was making money in Europe, he abandoned
a solid niche in the Paris art world and came to Soho in 1981
because he understood that “to really make a mark in the art
world, you have to make it in New York.”

Neizvestny, who earns $300,000 a year, has added
wealth and critical acclaim to the solid reputation he enjoyed
in Western Europe before his emigration. However, the
anguished, muscle-bound figures in his sculpture have not
caught the imagination of American collectors. And he has
still not found financial support for his Tree of Life.

“I don't have the problems of an emigr said
Neizvestny, 59, “I have the problems of an artist.

The whimsically irreverent and sometimes erotic
paintings of Komar, 41, and Melamid, 39 — which mock
official Soviet “socialist realism” — have received wide and
favorable criticism, and found their way into some major
U.S. collections. However, the pair, who always work in
tandem, earn modest wages by the standards of the New
York art world — about $80,000 a year between them.

“We left because we wanted to become great artists,”
said Melamid. “For us in Moscow, the Western world was
paradise, with freedom and money.

“Before, we could blame the government if we were
unsuccessful. Now, we realize that we must rely on
ourselves.”

Wolf maims
young girl

THOMPSON, MAN. (CP) — An 11-year-old beat
contive timber wolf over the head whi stick ‘oun ‘
ive-ys girl whose broken and
bafpaesneey capi mangled arm was locked

“I wasn't scared, not even a little speck,” said Billy

Staples, who was helped in the rescue by the wolf's mate.”

A male timber wolf grabbed Abigail Priest by the
fingers when she reached through a wire mesh cage at the
Thompson Zoo to pet the white female that later helped in
the rescue.

Staples, 11, said that at one point the wolf had the girl's
arm up to the elbow in its mouth. The arm was broken in two
places and tendons in her fingers were slashed.

Jane Priest, the girl's mother, said Abigail was taken to
Thompson General Hospital and it took 66 stitches to sew up
the shredded tendons and other wounds.

“She is a very lucky girl,” her mother said Tuesday. “I
don't blame anyone. I'm just so glad she was saved.”

The girl said later she had wanted to stroke the
12-year-old female when the male suddenly grabbed at her.

Staples and Merv Priest, the girl's brother, were
walking through the zoo in another direction when they
heard the girl scream.

While Merv ran off to get help, Staples rushed to the
girl's aid.

“At first I gave a couple of pulls on her arm — not too
hard — and I got her arm free as far as her wrist,” Staples, a
Grade 6 student, said.

“Some other boys began poking at the wolf with sticks,
but they soon ran off,” he said. “Then I got a hold of a big
stick and banged on the wolf's jaws as hard as I could.

“He loosened his grip a bit and I gave two more little
pulls and Abigail's arm was free.”

Staples said the female wolf, Sweeney, who was once
the Thompson family's pet, kept biting her mate as the boy
fought to free the child.

Zoo keeper Ray Johnson said the incident is being
investigated by officials of this mining community 759
kilometres north of Winnipeg.

Girls try

DOVER, DEL. (AP) — Armed with ouija board and
other ghost-busting tools, three girls staked out the
200-year-old governor's mansion in hopes of confronting a
lost child and a former slave dealer said to haunt the eerie
estate.

In the welcome light of morning, they weren't sure
today what they'd encountered, but something caused
their camera and tape recorder to fail.

Gov. Michael Castle, who invited the girls, says he's
a believer, having already the at

Woodburn, which he moved into last January.

On his inauguration day, Jan. 15, the house was full
of well-wishers and apparently an unseen little girl.

“Three women sensed something tugging at their
dresses, but they didn't see anyone,” he said.

Information is scant on the slave trader, but he's
obviously not something one wants skulking around the
mansion.

The governor granted the request of the three girls
intrigued enough by the odd goings-on to spend the night
there.

Holly Forbis, 12, Taryn Morrow, 12, and Faith
Truman, 11, arrived at Woodburn Tuesday night
prepared to keep an all-night vigil. The sixth-graders had
packed all the essentials for scaring up a few poltergeists.

DRAW ATTENTION

They figured a stuffed dog would draw the attention
of the little girl. A glass of wine was for the ghost that
empties decanters and wine glasses in the mansion.

Although the girls didn't see any ghosts before
falling asleep at 1:30 this morning, they were trying to
find a logical i why their i went
awry, said their teacher, Connie Malin, who also spent

the night.

By 11 p.m., their camera, which had been in perfect
working order, wouldn't focus.

“The pictures were clear on the monitor, but you
couldn't focus through the lens,” Malin said.

And when the girls filmed themselves with the
objects they brought along, they appeared transparent
on the monitor, while the props were normal, she said.

Apparently no ghosts were attracted toa ouija board
Faith brought along.

The girls are students in the talented and gifted
program at Warner Elementary School in northern
Delaware.

Malin said students are encouraged to take on
projects that are “incredibly creative or solved a real-life
problem.”

“The girls really wanted to do this,” Malin said. “So
without doing hing insane,” it was they
