Linda Dale, the -coordina tor of the project recalls, “I can still remember the strong wide variety of visual and written materials to provide information on the living situation of Salvadoan and Guatemalan refugees in Cen- tral America. The display unit and kits have been in use in many communities across B.C. this spring. Locally, schools in Grand Forks, Trail and Castlegar used the material have The display has also been on view in church and com- munity settings in those communities and in Nelson and will move on to Cran brook in a week's time. In response to the draw ings and to Bud Godderis’ the di e made when I first saw them in 1983. A friend had re ceived a box of drawings from a Canadian working in a refugee camp in Honduras. “Visitors to that camp had brought along art supplies as gifts to the children. When invited to draw pictures of their home villages, the chil dren (ages eight to 14) res ponded with simple drawings and written descriptions of their personal experiences of war.” Dale recognized the unique quality of these pictures, their emotional directness and their value as a personal testimony of the life of a ref. ugee, and the idea of organ izing an exhibit of the draw ings gradually took form. During the next year refu gee camps in Honduras, Cos ta Rica and Mexico were con. tacted as well as church or. ganizations working with dis. placed people in El Salvador More than 1,000 pictures were collected which have been used to produce an art gallery display and two dis. play units, one of which will be in the Castlegar Savings Credit Union. A resource kit has been developed to be used in con junction with the displays and includes activities for children as well as for older teens and adults. Included in the kit are a Announcement Blue Tes Serger Ph. 365-8388 trip to G lan refugee camps in Mexico this spring, the Castlegar United Chruch is in the midst of creating congregational and individual family drawings. When completed, this rep resentation of life in Castle gar will be sent to a refugee camp in Mexico. Godderis also took a collec tion of drawings from the USCC with him on the spring trip and is awaiting a res. ponse from the camp. The resource kit and a small collection of drawings from the camps will be avail able locally on an on-going basis Lo any interested group or individual.

The show runs until July 3 Painting a priority By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer Allen 0. Woodrow has done a lot of things in life. But today his number one priority is painting. A. collection landscapes, Sandwich Shoppe opening of the exhibit, of Woodrow’'s oil is on display at paintings, mostly the Homestead Soup and A reception Friday night marked the which runs until July 3. Woodrow, 74, was raised in Nelson and worked as an electrician for Cominco for 40 years before retiring in 1972 He also worked for Celgar sawmill for three years as an electrician. During this 'time, he owned and operated the Robson z00 for 15 years, at one time owning as many as 18 cougars USCC choirs to perform Three large USCC Douk hobor choirs will be repre. senting the Kootenay-Boun dary area at Expo ‘86 over the next several weeks. The 54-member USCC Doukhobor Choir made up of selected singers from both the Grand Forks and West Kootenay areas, will be stag ing two special performances at the Canadian Pavilion June 22, and then will stage three daily performances at the Folklife Pavilion June 23-29, inclusive. The hour-long performance will be repeated at 12 noon, 2 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. each day, and will be accompanied by a “living culture” demonstra PER NIGHT, PLUS TAX noon SINGLE OR DOUBLE OCCUPANCY Tou FREE (BOO) 848- he Sheraton Spokane Hotel ] tion featuring spinning, wea. ving, embroidery, ladle car ving, quilting, and food preparation of ethnic special ties such as borsch, bread and pyrahi. This choir has also been invited to stage a perfor mance at the Soviet Pavilion. tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. June 28. In addition to the major program of this adult choir, there will be presentations by two young groups. From June 29 through July 6 in elusive, the USCC Doukho bor Youth Choir, consisting of 60 Castlegar area young people, will be performing at the B.C. Pavilion, while the 36-member Grand Forks USCC Youth Choir will make twice daily performances on July 4 and 5. Doukhobor choral singing is widely noted for its a ca pella harmony, that is — singing without any formal musical notation, instrumen tal accompaniment, or stage direction. USCC choirs staged suc cessful performances at pre- vious similar events, notably at Expo ‘67 in Montreal, and at Expo ‘74, where, at a Spokane Opera House sell out performance, the 300 member Doukhobor Expo '74 Choir was billed as, “the lar gest a cappella choir in the world.” Prior to their departure to Expo, the three choirs will be Woodrow did a considerable amount of movie work with his cougars in both Canada and the U.S. “At that time very few people knew about cougars,” he says. Woodrow's work as a wild animal handler included a 1964 Walt Disney movie shot in the Cunna Desert in southern Idaho. The movie was the best wild animal picture of 1964. Woodrow also worked on the Canadian production of the The Littlest Hobo in Vancouver. He also worked for J. Arthur Rank productions in England on the movie The Trap with Rita Tushingham and Oliver Reed, whom Woodrow “doubled” for. Woodrow also worked in a number of U.S. commercials. Woodrow has also been a mineral and crystal collector for many, years. He has mined peridot in the Monashee Mountains. Today, painting and manufacturing ‘ewelry — opal jewelry — are Woodrow's hobbies. Woodrow has travelled extensively in Australia for four years, spending time in the sapphire mines in Queensland. He also worked in the opal mines in the south Australian desert in the Coober Pedy area. He has painted off and on throughout his life but didn't take it up seriously until six or seven years ago. While in Australia he went to a school of art and also studied art here under Olive Irish of Balfour. Besides landscape paintings, Woodrow is starting to do portraiture. Last year he was commissioned to do a painting of former Olympic skier Nancy Greene and her parents. Among his collection at the Homestead are some paintings on slate which came from the old roof of the Nelson courthouse. The slate was brought over from mines in England in 1908, says Woodrow. The slate was installed on the roof by a slater by the name of Alfred Wood, who was the last of the known Slaters in the area. But because of the frost in the area, the slate began to crack so it was taken off and replaced with conventional roofing. The images are painted on the slate and then coated with resin mainly Floors 3 - 9 (floors 10 - 14 slightly higher), chilled bottle of champagne, 20% discount on dinner in the “1881” Good March 1 thru June 30, 1986 For reservations (800) 848-9600 Canadian currency at par for room N 322 Spokane Falls Court.

Oleski and Kerry Uchida stand in front of their water Local bid rejected By CasNews Staff With Mayor Audrey Moore casting the deciding vote, Castlegar council voted 3-2 Tuesday night to reject a bid from a local company and award a $25,000 water contract to an out-of. town firm. Central Water, Sewer and Services Ltd. of Kelowna received the contract with a low bid of $24,718.61 However, the works and services committee had recommended that Bartle and Gibson Co. Ltd., which has a store in Castlegar, get the contract even though it was the fourth lowest bid and was nearly $1,400 higher than the Central Water, Sewer and Services Ltd. bid. Ald. Nick Ogiow argued that council didn’t have to accept the lowest bid. “The difference between the low tender and the Bartle and Gibson tender is. . . five per cent,” Oglow said. For that difference, the city will have better access to the local company in the event a piece of equipment needs to be returned. With an out-of-town firm, a city worker would have to package the piece and send it off to Kelowna or Vancouver. In the case of Bartle and Gibson, the crew would only have to drop the piece off at the Castlegar store, Oglow said. Ogiow also pointed out that Bartle and Gibson pays $5,400 in municipal taxes this year. “The other tenders are not paying a dime in local taxes.” He urged council to award the con- tract to Bartle and Gibson, pointing out that the survival of many local busi- nesses is “so marginal” something like the water contract could mean the difference between a business staying open or elosihng But Ald. Carl Henne countered: “There's nothing wrong with that lowest bid.” Henne added that council earlier fought over whether to spend $1,700 to control dust at the Community Com. plex, but now is willing to give away $1,400. Moore noted that council's purchas- ing policy says “whenever possible preference shall be given to local suppliers.” The policy also says the city does not have to accept the lowest tender. Moore suggested referring the issue back to the works and services com. mittee for another recommendation. However, city engineer George Res haur said the move would delay the work, which involves installing new watermains and replacing old water mains throughout the city Reshaur also indicated he is in favor of awarding the contract to the lowest bidder “We're not really getting anything from this store here in town It's Bartle and Gibson in Vancouver we're talking about,” he said. He also said one suppliers’ delivery isn't any better than the other's. In a vote on the contract, Oglow and Ald. Bob Pakula voted for giving the contract to Bartle and Gibson, while aldermen Henne and Calderbank voted to award the contract to the lowest bidder. Aldermen Terry Rogers and Len Embree were absent. Moore cast the deciding vote, noting that she agreed to give the contract to the low bidder “strictly to expedite the works and services program this year.” She said the decision to give the contract to an out-of-town firm “grieves me deeply.” Earlier in the meeting Errol Frazier of Central Water, Sewer and Services appealed to council to award the con- tract to the low bidder. “We have quoted you in good faith with the understanding that low bid would receive the order,” he told council. “We hope you will follow this policy and award the sale to our firm.” Frazier also warned that if council intends to award all work to local firms when they are high bidders “then you can understand why you will only have ‘one vote — from the local supplier.” “It doesn't. make good sense to subsidize one firm to the detriment of the rest of the citizens of this com munity,” he added. Frazier noted that his company buys most of its parts from a B.C. man- ufacturer, while the Bartle and Gibson parts come from an Alberta company. WKPL Yet, she cautioned that a number of things still need to be clarified “I don't know whether it’s really clear they're (Cominco) selling off that part of the utility they don't want to retain,” she said. Council agreed to take part in any discussions about the regional districts’ purchase of West Kootenay Power. The four regional districts served by WKPL include Central Kootenay, Kootenay Boundary.
