Last u, the federal government can celled its $25,000 Museums Grant which the NEC heavily relied upon. With a needed oper ating budget of $80,000, the cash-strapped NEC was in seri ous danger of reducing services, or even closing its doors. They were. certainly facing a great dilemma in terms of finan- cial cuts. So it’s more important now than ever before that the NEC receive financial support from the surrounding area which benefits greatly by the programs and events it offers,” said Wyllie As one example, the director cited the NEC's involvement in last summer's celebrations marking the centenary Burning of Arms “It meant a great deal to the area’s Doukhobor community that the NEC opened its doors to promote this event.” The NEC hosts regular dis- plays of different art culture mediums, and is a strong promot- er of local artists. “This is an important educator in our society and the facility needs our support, I would cer- tainly like to see a program that would allow for on-going fund- ing,” continued Wyllie Organizers at the NEC are also planning events geared to fundraise and help their own cause, One such gala event is planned for the: spring, called Garden Delights, where artists using various mediums will use their talents fo create items for auction under the garden theme All money raised will be shared between the NEC and the local Red Cross. “Community ‘support ¢ extremely important to the NEE. . now more than ever before,” finished Turner. The most recent $5,000 from the Lower Arrow Columbia region derives from BC Hydro grants-in-lieu.

The money will allow the cash- strapped NEC to continue showcasing the work of local artists.

He has executed origi- nal new. designs which are quite different from some of his previous work. These are large, scale ceramics which are a mixture of beautiful architecture and design, interposed by some graphic lines with uplifting colors. One has the effect of entering a Middle Eastern garden in sunshine on a hot day with a water fountain in the centre, surrounded by six columns and various other forms. in the Mind's Eye In the smaller gallery of the NEC, Roberta Sutherland has her show “In the Minds Eye". These paintings are small with raised acrylic mixed media or oil on paper or canvas. The colors vary from sombre to bright - a very stimulating color mix in each canvas. There are reds mixed with yellows, purples with orange, grey with whites. All show views of coastal shorelines or country and trees. The image is blurred with more attractive patterns. Searchlight At the Trail Creek Studio Art Centre there is a show called Searchlight by Chris Catalano. It will continue till Nov. 4. Catalano has shown many of his paintings on the coast and will be exhibiting his work for the first time in Trail. He has had excellent reviews by art critics in Van- couver i.e. “Catalano man- ages to enthral the viewer with his dark visions of oth- erworldly spaces” and “..he manifests subconscious truth, going beyond the image, yet retains the poctic realism.” Do go and visit this interest- ing show. The studio is on Cedar Avenue opposite Shoppers Drug Mart. If you want information about this show or forthcoming work- shops phone 368-1300 Nelson Museum At the Nelson Museum there is an exhibition of recent paintings by Pat Fres- chi which continues until mid November. The show is called “The Maze and the River” and is influenced by landscapes of both the Col- orado and Columbia River valleys. Pat lives in Trail and has had her paintings exhibit- ed throughout the Kootenays. One of her paintings was chosen for the annual Provin- cial BC Festival of Arts Exhibition hours are 1-4 pm daily except Sundays and Stat. holidays.

Uniforms & Jackets Ozzy rides again! “OZZMOSIS" Ozzy Osbourne (Epic) **** The Mad man hands in his first new studio release in nearly five “Ozzmosis™ is different from “No More Tears”, which was different from “No Rest For The Wicked.” In some ways, this is a heavier, more rock & roll record than EITHER of those two. Ozzy hasn't sounded this heavy since Black Sabbath’s tage” in ‘75, or more on top of his game since the R The main reason according to most of the press I've rea ducer Michael Beinhorn (Soundgarden). “Michael worked me the hardest I've ever worked in my life.” says Ozzy, “he saw something in me and reached in and got it.” Another thing to consider is that this is the first record Ozzy has made sober and drug-free in 26 years. Don’t worry, he’s still a twisted little bugger! The studio band includes Zakk Wylde, drummer Deen Castrono- vo, former Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler and Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman. Zakk was bumped when he wouldn't commit to a tour. The reason? Apparent negotiations for the Zakkmeister to join Guns ‘N’ Roses. His-replacement is Joe Holmes, another American kid and a former Randy Rhodes student from the early ‘80s. Yes, really. You'll find the ‘heavy in cuts like “Perry Mason”, but this baby is a lot deeper than that. With the input of outside writers including Jim Vallance, Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw, “Ozzmosis” is tex- tured and melodic, and ballads like “See You On The Other Side” ensure a long shelf life. This is some of Ozzy’s finest work What about all that ‘retirement’ crap? Ha! “Since 1968, I'd been recording and touring nearly non-stop, I was beginning to feel like a mouse on wheels, “Ozzy said to explain his change of heart. “All I’ve ever done right in my life is make music..I don’t know any- thing else.” Ozzy Osbourne is a rock & roll organism-his music (and the stage) is to him what oxygen is to you and I Key tracks: “Ghost Behind My Eye: jee You On The Other Side” and “Tomorrow”. I don't know if there's a song here to rival “No More Tears” or “Mr. Crowley”, but “Ozzmosis” is a worthy followup to the records Ozzy's done since leaving Sabbath and mil- lions of fans will back me on that. This is nice work That's a wrap! Before we go, I thought I should mention for any Kiss fans that the “Unplugged” album originally slated for a Nov. 4 release, has been pushed back a few weeks..no doubt to capitalize on the Christmas season! With original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss participating, it's sure to be their best seller in over a decade In the weeks to come; Def Leppard's est Hits” (a new stu dio album will be out next April), k.d. lang ne an, y Sugar, Bass is Base, the surprisingly delightful “Frie: nds” soundtrack, and much, MUCH more!
