WEEKEND INSTRUCTION
. Artist Ken Wallace of
Vancouver will offer
guidance and criticism to
local artists of all levels.

Workshop

Artist-teacher Ken Wallace of Vancouver will conduct a
weekend drawing and painting workshop for adults in
Castlegar Saturday and Sunday. Sponsored by Selkirk
College and Emily Carr College of Art and Design Outreach
Programs (ECCAD), Wallace will offer guidance and
instruction to both beginners and those seeking a broader
knowledge of the technique.

“I hope anyone in Castlegar and the surrounding area
interested in drawing and painting will join us for the
weekend,” Wallace said in a prepared release

“We'll provide discussion, demonstration and plenty of
hands-on participation for up to 20 people provided we get a
minimum enrolment of 12.”

ECCAD Outreach Programs Director Nini Baird said
the Castlegar workshop is one of 80 planned for centres

scheduled

outside the B.C. Lower Mainland in the 1986-87 season

“This is our ninth year of bringing professional
instruction by award winning artists like Ken Wallace to
communities requesting it,” she said.

“We offer all British. Columbians the opportunity to
study painting, printmaking, ceramics, photography and
other visual arts with qualified artist-teachers right in their
home community.”

Baird commended Selkirk College for sponsoring the
workshop. “Without their initiative and co-ordinator Craig
Andrews, Castlegar would not enjoy the benefit of this
program,” she said.

“We need local groups to consult our artist-teacher
catalogues in libraries and college centres around the
province, then request us to arrange specific workshops.”

Haida artist
continues
heritage

In 1943, at the age of 23, Bill Reid boarded a fishing
boat and made his first trip to Skidegate in British
Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands. It was/a voyage of
self-discovery, to the land of his mother's people, the
Haida. There he met his grandfather, and held the
engraving tools of Charles Edenshaw, the last of the
great Haida carvers — the Reid's great-uncle.

Five years later, Reid walked down a Toronto street
and happened on the newly opened Ryerson Institute of
Technology. He would spend the next two years at
Ryerson studying jewellery-making during the day while

ing nights as a broadcaster at the CBC. At the end of

mantle of Charles Edenshaw had settled on his shoulders.
One of North America’s finest artists, “a living national
treasure,” Reid has since worked in gold and silver, cast
bronze and cedar. pencil and ink. He has written and
books, pi red the of
silk-screen two-dimensional art amongst the Indians of
the northwest coast, and created nonumental works and
superb cast bronze pieces.

BOOK REVIE

He has also build two native canoes, reviving a
long-lost art which he considers to be fundamental to
Haida traditions. Most recently, the larger of the two was
brought to Expo 86.

Observed Reid: “The dialogue between the material
and the maker has never been closer than in the making
of a canoe because the canoe retains its own
independence, a control of its own shape .. . you
incorporate design elements which you couldn't have
predetermined because of the will of the wood . .
Western art starts with the figure west coast Indian
art starts with the boat.”

Born to a Haida mother and a father of German and
Scottish parentage, Reid was raised almost entirely in
white society. His involvement in his natural heritage
would grow slowly, as he gradually came to understand
the course and purpose of his art.

In Bill Reid, 175 illustrations are juxtaposed with the
text to reveal the development of a great artist inspired
by a complex and richly mythic heritage. Beginning with
an intimate portrayal of the artist's early life, Bill Reid
becomes the story of the Haida people, their art and their
mythology

The traditional culture of the Indian people of the
northwest coast developed over thousands of years,
reaching its pinnacles in the 18th century. Ironically, it
was at first enhanced by the use of new tools and
materials brought by European traders

At 66 years of age, Bill Reid continues to explore
Haida mythology and tradition. While he has revived
many old traditions he has also pursued new directions.
His personal development, like his artistic output, is not
yet finished

Bill Reid is an intimate study of an evolution of
artistic growth and cultural change.

“Doing things well represents a central morality for
Reid — speaking, dressing. cooking, making objects,
handling equipment. The more superbly and elegantly
they are done, and the more clearly they manifest the
human care and skill that has gone into their doing, the
farther back they push the constantly threatening
disorder and formlessness which his forbears had to
control and which he has had to face in his own past
‘Joy is a well-made object’ is a statement he once read and
frequently repeats.”

Doris Shadbolt is one of Canada’s most respected and
influential art critics and curators. She has worked with
the Art Gallery of Toronto (now the Art Gallery of
Ontario), the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and
the Metropolitan Museum in New York. For 25 years, she
was the driving energy behind the Vancouver Art
Gallery

In 1976, Shadbolt was awarded the Order of Canada.
She and her husband, painter Jack Shadbolt, now divide
their time between Hornby Island off the British
Columbia coast and Vancouver.

Parents happy
with way
children spend

NEW YORK (AP) — The average weekly allowance
of a child-in the United States is $3.34 U.S., and most
parents like the way their children spend it, a survey of
families with working mothers shows.

The survey, described in December's Working
Mother magazine, said five-year-olds get an average
$1.40 a week and 16-year-olds get $8.13.

“I think I'm getting gypped,” 10-year-old

LLAR PURCHA

Gem worth millions

LONGVIEW, TEX. (AP) — A man who whittled a
dealer down to $10 U.S. from $15 for a stone in a gem-show
grab bag says he won't be running out to buy a Rolls-Royce
even though it turned out to be the world’s largest uncut
sapphire.

“We're normal people and we work for a living,” said
wholesale gem dealer Roy Whetstine, adding he plans to put
any proceeds from the sale of the 1,905-carat sapphire,
appraised at $2.28 million, in trust for his two sons.

The gem's weight was certified by the Gem Trade
Laboratory Inc. of Lee, Anpslen ond 6 segutersd wt

America, to be the

Blake Rosenthal of Fort Lee, N.J., who receives $3 a
week — 15 cents less than average for those her age.
“I think $7.80 would be hard to get by on in
Manhattan,” said Glenn Gloz, 16, referring to the national
average for his age group. He gets $10 a week from his
parents, but often spends that much just on taxis.

The survey of 961 Working Mother readers found
that nine of 10 parents give their children allowances, and
70 per cent of them expect something in return, like a
clean room or good grades.

Sixty-five per cent of parents who give allowances
are happy with the way they are spent; more than half
impose no restrictions.

OTHER FINDINGS

Among the other findings:

e@ Most kids started getting their allowance when
they were about 6'/:, and more than three-quarters had it
by age eight.

© Boys were asked to do more chores for their
allowance than girls — and more often disappointed their
parents with their performance. Boys started off getting
more than girls, but at age 12 girls took the lead and held
it through the teenage years.

© Family income had relatively little bearing on
children’s allowances. “Parents seem to have reached an
unspoken consensus about what children should get,” the
magazine reports. “At each age level there is rarely more
than 50 cents to $1 difference between what the poorest
and richest households allot.”

But parents with lower incomes, the survey found,
expect children to do more for their money.

Seventy-four per cent of kids spent some or all their
money on toys. Other expenses for which allowances go
include food (43 per cent sometimes spend money for
this), gifts (39 per cent), comics, magazines and books (36
per cent), movies, video games and records (34 per cent),
clothes and jewelry (31 per cent), school supplies (19 per
cent) and savings (15 per cent).

The survey found that four per cent used their
allowance for sweets.

h ee reac. whebiies wold Tasco,

Lawrence Ward of Fallbrook, Calif, who appraised the
gem, said his initial inspection made “cold chills run up and
down my spine.”

Since Whetstine disclosed his find this month,
representatives of two Middle Easterners and a Chicago
based investors’ group have contacted him or his agent,
about buying it.

PEBBLE A MIRACLE

Whetstine, who lives in this eastern Texas town of
63,000 residents with his wife Jeanne and sons Johnathan,
11, and Stephen, four, said he got the stone by a miracle.

“It’s phenomenal that a dadgum little pebble in God's
universe found its way to us,” he said.

The sapphire, offically named The Life and Pride of
America’s Star, was a faifly well guarded secret for nine
months until Whetstine had it verified.

“The Life is the security it will represent for my boys

and the fact that I don’t have to worry about their lives

heart bypass operations

“Pride (as) in pride of ownership and pride that it was

found in this country.”

‘The only sapphires comparable to his sons’ are the Star
of India and the Star of Queensland, both on display at the

Smithsonian Institution, he said.

Whetstine said the stone could bring $10 million to $15
million after it is cut, and that he is asking a minimum of $1.5

million.

‘The story began when his sons gave him $5 to buy @
rock at a gem show last February in Tucson, Ariz. He almost
didn't go, but changed his mind at the last minute so he could

visit his ailing father
The sapphire was in a box marked Your Choice $15.

“I went by the first two rooms on either side of me and
went into a third room, straight to the window and saw the

coone tal and saw the end of the stone glowing,” he recalled.
After taking a couple of minutes to com himself,

Whetstine asked the dealer if he really wanted $15 for the
stone. The dealer, who suggested there were better rocks to

be found, wasn’t in a mood to argue and took $10.

Whetstine said he has since talked to the dealer, an
Idaho man whose identity he protects at the man’s request.
“He said, ‘Roy, I'm tickled to death for you. I hope you get

$15 million for it.’

Secrecy was needed until Whetstine and his agent, Jim
Griffin, had the stone verified and appraised, and arranged

for insurance.
