DEWDNEY Her exhibition portrays primarily drawings and paintings of the remaining Deukhobor houses in the Castlegar area. ‘Since moving to the Kootenays I have been deeply moved by the visual history and the natural beauty of the area which has greatly influenced my art work,” says Baker, who moved to Crescent Valley in 1981 Baker was born in Vancouver in 1948 and raised there. In 1969 she attended the Vancouver Art College for one year. According to Baker, it was during this time that she became aware of the importance of a good foundation in drawing. In 1970 she rented a studio in Vancouver and studied drawing techniques on her own. In 1971 she travelled to London, England and aspects of drawing — including anatomy. Baker moved to Calgary, Alta. in 1973 where she worked in private art galleries over the next 10 years. had her first exhibition of drawings at the Agghazy Gallery After arriving in Crescent Valley in 1981, Baker enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at David Thompson University Centre in the 1983-84 academic year She was voted most outstanding firs-year student and received a small scholarship on behalf of the visual aris instructors. Since the closing of DTUC, she has continued with drawing and painting on a full-time basis, concentrating extensively on capturing some of the history and beauty of the area. ANTHOLOGY Women KIMBERLEY — Response to the writing project “Koot enay Women: A Regional Anthology” has been excel lent, says coordinator Judy Winter. Already 40 women writers from throughout the Koot enays have submitted short stories, poems and essays for consideration in the anthol y: “T've also received many phone and written inquiries and I expect those writers are working on material right now in time for the March 31 deadline,” Winter said in a prepared release. A published short story writer herself, Winter re marked on the high quality of most entries. “Many have a distinct Kootenay flavor.

Only previously unpublish ed manuscripts will be ac cepted in the three cate. gories. The Canada Council, which provided an Explorations grant to the project, stipu lates that contributors must not have published a volume of work Author “But that doesn’t exclude women who have already published short stories, poems and articles as single pieces,” Winter explained.

With a Bachelor and Masters degree in Education from Eastern Washington University, Clayton is currently Director of Bands at Central Valley High School in Spokane.

Salt Spring Island resident Jean Knight will adjudicate this fast reviving section of the festival. A former member for 17 years of the CBC Radio Orchestra and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Knight obtained her degree from the Royal College of Music in London, England, and played with the BBC and Sadler Wells Opera and Ballet Orchestras before emigrating to Canada. Knight now works as a freelance performer and teacher, as well as adjudicator.

Since leaving Nelson in 1976 the Walkers have been involved in their own puppet theatre company the Puppeorns, whose antics have won them many awards, confident the manuscript will be published. An editorial panel of three Kootenay writers — Paulette Jiles, Irene Mock and Luanne Armstrong — will review an thology submissions and select about 20 entries for publication.

As a novelist, he won the “Books in Canada” Award for First Novels in 1980 for Gentle Sinners.

Audrey Leonard Borschel, a seasoned performer of classical music, jazz and musical theatre, will adjudicate the vocal and choral sections of the festival Co-ordinator Marlene Garland says the busy soprano is currently touring her DIVA production of “Music in Motion” a scripted school concert developed to parallel Expo 86 world-in-motion transportation theme. In 1985-86 she will tour with Kern, a revue based on the music of Jerome Kern, and Peach Melba, a theatrical concert with symphony orchestra. With a recent doctorate in music from UBC, along with previous education at the Juilliard School of Music in New York and theatre training at Adelphi University in New York, Borschel brings a wide musical background to the Nelson festival Ballet adjudicator Maureen Duggan is a member of the Royal Academy of Dancing and an associate of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing in Modern Stage, Tap.

Duggan moved from England to Kelowna in 1964 to teach at the Canadian School of Ballet under Royal Winnipeg Ballet founders Dr. Gweneth Lloyd and Betty Farrally Currently on the faculty of the Judy Hunter School of Dance in Kamloops, Duggan has coached all levels of ballet students, and travels extensively in B.C. to give workshops and summer courses. She is currently setting up a youth company in cooperation with Judy Hunter and Constantine Darling, formerly with Les Ballet Jazz in Montreal Society presents hit “I thought it’s supposed to talk,” one man says to his wife. “No, dear,” she replies politely, “that's the Knight Rider car.” “Well, where's that one?” Truth be revealed, the black car is not exactly the same one driven by Don Johnson. A nearby sign tells you the car is “similar to” the one that cruises around the set of the successful cop show. But this replica draws bigger crowds than other exhibits that aren't copies — for instance, a booth for a “third brake light,” a safety device, isn't packing them in. ALL IN BROCHURE Jo-Ann is standing near the car, patiently enduring what she estimates is the 50th or 60th play of the Miami Vice soundtrack album, handing out brochures to anyone who wants more information about the Connolly leather interior, the Ferrari instrumentation, the hand-laid body or the chrome-tipped exhaust. She is good-natured when you ask if there's room in the back for a baby seat and direct when you ask how much the car costs: $14,900 for a kit to convert your Corvette, $56,000 from the ground up. She works for a company in nearby Mississauga that will do the job. “] like the car and I don't even watch Miami Vice,” she says. “Some people put it down. Of course, they're probably driving little Hondas or something.” ONE OF FEW Peter Anderson, a stock broker who looks as if his money is burning a hole in his pocket, has wandered down from Bay Street on his lunch to get a glimpse — maybe even to buy. He's one of the few onlookers who could probably write a cheque and walk away with the exhibit. “What makes me interested? I guess it's a status “Not too many people own these, not thing,” he says. even in Toronto.” Would he go farther? Would he start wearing Giorgio Armani suits? Shave every other day? Call friends and foe alike “pal?” “You know, one problem with something like this,” he says, “you plunk some money into a car and, who knows, the TV show goes bust or something. Then what do you have? An expensive bucket of bolts.” Group to discuss nuclear threat The Castlegar Peace Group is sponsoring & slide and tape show today at 7 p.m. in the Ootischenia Commun. ity Hall. The theme of the show is Nightmare in Paradise and concerns the threat of nu- clear weapons to Canada’s west coast, a news release from the peace group says. “Nuclear weapons have long been present in the Pacific Ocean,” the release says. “Their proliferation, their nearness and lack of safeguards in testing is a very real and immediate danger.” personal testing pond con stantly,” according to the release.

Municipalities plans to present a self- insurance proposal to its 172 members within 30 days, says executive director Rich- ard Taylor. Taylor said the proposal hinges on pooling insurance premiums based on expected claims. Catastrophe insur- ance will be purchased to cover years of exceptionally high claims. “We expect it would be less than the premiums (paid to conventional insurance companies),” Taylor said. B.C. municipalities face li- ability ii premi pared with $8,900 last year. Vancouver, Victoria, Saan- ich, the Sunshine Coast, Tah- sis and Alert Bay did not renew liability insurance. The Victoria-area munici- pality of Saanich let its in- surance lapse Oct. 31 rather than pay an_ estimated $416,500 premium for 1986. Mayor Mel Couvelier said a municipality could save for a major loss in the three years it normally takes to settle, he said. “At the end of two years we will have built a reserve of close to $1 million that otherwise would have been in the pockets of an insurance company.” \ Paramount suspends video distribution TORONTO (CP) — Par- amount F has sus- pended distribution of video cassettes in Canada as a pro- test against costly and com- up to 10 times higher than last year, for reduced cov- erage, he said.
