Featured in the Main Gal- den.” This exhibition is or- ganized by the Grand Forks Art Gallery and curated by Beverley Reid of Christina Lake. Ineluded in the exhibition are works from over thirty B.C. artists: Don Harvey, Sherry Grauer, Jack Shad- bolt, Richard Prince, Gathie Falk, Jim Willer, Pat Ser- viee, Roz Marshal, Mousi Tehir, Bob Steele and many others. The East Gallery will fea- ture an ongoing series of paintings and drawings, en- titled “Mothers and Daug- ters”, by Winlaw artist Ann Swanson Gross. Swanson works and ex- hibits from Place in the For- est, the gallery and studio she and her husband built and opened to the public in 1984. Her paintings and draw- ings are a personal account of her friends in the Slocan Valley and the valley itself. Her work captures her subjects in various situations and reveals the surroundings as she views them. “Gross uses fiber — tipped water based pens to create the scenes with a touch of the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson and in 1982 won an award for artistic excellence in the Kootenay Boundary Jury Show where her paint ings were described as “gen. uinely intriguing . . . with a haunting tawniness.” Collections of her work are not only displayed in the West Kootenay, but also in the Lower Mainland, Al berta, Toronto, and Aus tralia. Gallery Three will host a series of recent photographs from Central and South America taken by a Vernon photographer Cameron Mathieson. His photographs are concentrated around the seemingly strong metaphysi cal energies that he found to be present in this special part of the earth. Dragonflies on display Continuing until Aug. 31 at the Nelson Museum is the B.C. Provincial Museum Travelling Exhibit “Dragon- flies.” The exhibition, which shows the variety among British Columbia dragonflies and illuminates some of their biological adaptations, con- sists of panels showing about 60 photographs with des- criptive copy and a showcase with actual specimens.

Now, when Dylan releases a new album, such as Knocked Out Loaded (Geffen), it’s not a cultural land- mark — he’s disappointed us tao often. That's the attraction and problem with Loaded: it's not weighed down with attempting to make statements, but it also has a reckless, tossed-off feeling. Much of Loaded sounds as if it was banged out in one night of hot jamming with some devilish blues riffs. With the exception of They Killed Him, written by Kris Kris- ff and Girl, a i with playwright Sam Shepard, the album is full of great gun-bucket blues and barrelhouse country rock. It’s fun stuff — plain and simple. And a nice change from the born-again preaching that marred Saved and Slow Train Coming, but nothing classic. ECHOES OTHERS With the exception of the nasal whine, much of Loaded sounds like other people, such as the Fabulous Thunderbirds on You Wanna Ramble and Got My Mind Made Up, while Dylan's phrasing echoes Elvis Costello on the lovely Under Your Spell. They Killed Him, however, comes off sanctimonious because of the lumbering arrangement complete with able to make sense of things is shirking his responsibility as the world is on the brink. Or does he just want to have some fun while he still can. And who could really blame Method, No Teacher (Polygram) and a spiritual re awakening. As such, it is an uplifting, quiet and con- templative album. Morrison, a religious man, sounds at peace with himself, confident and re-energized. There are no great roaring vocals that marked his R and B ventures, but his singing is startlingly tender and emotive. And unlike some recent albums, he enunciates so you can actually make out the words without a lyric sheet. He paints scenes of lush gardens, green valleys and hurch: a backg of traditional Irish music full of acoustic guitars, oboes, strings and muted trumpets. It's beautiful, but unless you take time to listen carefully, the record tends to fade into the background because of its lack of dynamics. The dominant theme of the album is found on Got To Go Back, with its call for spiritual renewal and cleansing of the soul. “Got to go back, For the healing to go on with the dreaming.” In the same song, he also refers to the importance of keeping in touch with roots, of returning to gospel backing vocals and a children’s choir. Girl works as an epic about life and death, centred on an old western movie. Dylan tosses out the half-sung. half-spoken lyrics with casual abandon to lighten the load. Knocked Out Loaded shares no secrets, offers no insights into a world that seems almost as close to destruction as when Dylan emerged as the folk singer who best articulated the fears and hopes of young people in the early 1960s. It makes one wonder if the man who seemed best ah land, which for is Ireland, though he also keeps a home in San Francisco. Tir Na Nog occupies the same spiritual territory but gives thanks for a loved one and the pleasures of growing together. As well, the title track makes a plea for a solid relationship based on love and God — not pop culture psychology. At times the record is weighed down with such seriousness, but it's a fascinating chapter in the growth of we SUMMER RENOVATIONS . . .

Heartburn lacks humor By ANN Canadian Press Heartburn, director Mike Nichols’s latest film, is being touted as “a funny and bittersweet look at the precarious state of modern romance and marriage.” But the movie fails to live up to its publicity hype. Starring Meryl Streep as Rachel Samstat and Jack Nicholson as her wayward husband, Mark Forman, Heartburn is really not all that funny. Sure, there are some comical lines and offbeat situations. Rachel's first husband, for instance, had a kinky attachment to his pet hamsters. But the gag that got the biggest laugh at one showing in Montreal was the old pie-in-the-face routine — which speaks volumes for the quality of Heartburn’s humor. BASED ON FACT Nor is Heartburn about contemporary romance and marriage in general. Rather, it's about one marriage in particular — the now-infamous collapse of the tempestuous union between Nora Ephron, an American feature and food writer, and ex-Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein, part of the famed Watergate “Woodstein” duo, who supposedly was a notorious womanizer. Yet the movie never really shows why Rachel and Mark fell in love and stayed in love for as long as they did, except for the obviously shared pleasures in food and sex. Almost every second scene is punctuated with a yuppie’s pre occupation with epicurean delights, and Rachel even manages to spit out a few cooking instructions between labor contractions. The movie is based on Ephron's novel of the same name, in which she lays bare in sordid and thinly disguised detail the rise and fall of her r with her philandering husband. The book included such memorably vindictive lines as “the man is capable of having sex with a venetian blind.” WROTE SCRIPT Thankfully, Ephron has cooled her vengeful heels a bit, but she has continued to make big bucks out of the marital break-up by writing the movie's script. And she still has enough contempt for Bernstein to make the movie more bitter than bittersweet. The heart of Heartburn is about betrayal. Mark has an affair with an ambassador's beautiful wife (played by singer-actress Karen Akers) while Rachel is seven months pregnant with their second child. In her book, Ephron chronicles Bernstein's affair with Margaret Jay, wife of Britain's ambassador to Washington, that occurred when Ephron was pregnant with her second child. The betrayal in the film continues after Mark and Rachel supposedly get back together. She splits with him as soon as she finds proof of the affair, returns, then leaves for good once she discovers that Mark is continuing to see the other woman KIDS BETRAYED? But isn't the essence of the film also about Ephron's betrayal of her children, Jacob, 7, and Max, 6? Bernstein was so worried about making yet another public spectacle out of the children’s lives that he insisted the couple's divorce agreement last year contain key stipu- lations about how he and the kids would be portrayed in the film. AMUNIT Bulictin Board ST. DAVID'S THRIFT SHOP Summer Clearance Sole storts Tuesday, August 12. Hours Wa.m. As Vanity Fair columnist Tristan Vox so aptly pointed out, Bernstein's infidelity “is banal compared with the infidelity of a mother toward her children.” Heartburn is not all sourness. The performances by the star-studded cast are, for the most part, superb. Nicholson is a convineing cad and even manages to elicit the audience's sympathies, despite a script that presents things entirely from the other side. OTHERS STRONG And almost all the supporting actors live up to their reputations. Maureen Stapleton, whose long list of stage and sereen credits include The Glass Menagerie and Interiors, plays Rachel's therapist; Jeff Daniels (The Purple Rose of Cairo, Terms of Endearment) plays Rachel's magazine editor; Channing, a k i star who also appeared in Mike Nichols's 1975 farce The Fortune, fs one of Mark's oldest and most acerbic friends. 2 As well, Milos Forman, the director of the Oscar-win- ning Amadeus, makes his film-acting debut as Dimitri, the live-in companion of Betty, a gossip-loving reporter played by Toronto-born actress Catherine O'Hara. But after all the laughs have faded and the fine performances have been savored, it is the movie's — more specifically, Ephron’s — bitterness that lingers, much like the persistent burning sensation of heartburn itself.

U.S. prices of shakes and shingles jumped after the tariff, but have returned to price levels before the June 6 tariff, says Crow's Weekly Letter, a trade publication in Portland, Ore. The tariff has helped producers like Miller Shingle Co., with prices up 10 to 15 per cent, and the plant is running at capacity for the first time in seven years. And Roy Christenson of Christenson Shake Co. in Mount Vernon, Wash., said he has 43 employees now, up from 28 on June 6. But he said the tariff lasts only five years and won't solve the industry's long-term problems. The 35-per-cent tariff rate is to last only 30 months, which isn't long enough to justify building new mills, he said. Other mills are making more money but aren't hiring, afraid that increasing cedar prices will eat up profit margins. LOGS SAVED Many U.S. mills stockpiled logs and blocks and haven't had to buy much since June 6. Canada has for- bidden the export of cedar logs and blocks, foreing U.S. mills to rely on U.S. logs. “We've seen arvincrease of $25 US a thousand (board feet), from $355 to around $380,” said Keith Pyatte, manager of LaConner Cedar Inc. In British Columbia, meanwhile, few logs have been sold even though log prices have fallen. “Most of the mills are operating,” said Phil Gilbert, manager of wood products administration for the British Columbia Council of Forest Industries. “But they're playing very much a waiting and assessment game.” Mike Westfall, manager of the Red Cedar Shingle and Handsplit Shake Bureau in Bellevue, said price increases could hurt everyone. Jim Arthurs, sales manager for Watkins Sawmills Ltd. in Ruskin, British Columbia, agreed: “We're going to lose the . He can go to ion, to asphalt, to tile.” So far, the customer has escaped most of the tariff, and Canadian mills and log suppliers are suffering. Sales at Watkins Sawmills were down 40 per cent in July compared with one year earlier.

One of the survivors is Richard Nelles, owner and operator of Hamilton Cedar Products in the lush, sparsely populated Skagit Valley. Not surprisingly, Nelles heartily endorses President Ronald Reagan's decision to impose a 35-per-cent tariff on shakes and shingles imported from Canada. Competition from British Columbia's thriving producers “had us right down on our prayer bones, and this finally B 4%. nine square metres. ‘The tariff has already allowed Nelles to add a new employee, and he has plans to bring on another. “We'll be able to sell our product as we make it, hopefully, and we'll be able to run again at full steam.” Other mills are also showing signs of new life. Aloha Shake Co. on Washington's Olympic Peninsula has hired eight new workers, bringing its total to 43, said owner Stewart Ferguson. At one point, Aloha had only three ‘Hell, we didn't get angry at them Why should they get angry at us? ... it's their turn now.” forced us to do something,” said Nelles, relaxing in his home a dozen metres away from the buzz of activity in the mill that can be seen through his living room window. “It just seems like the Canadians had put so much pressure on by running their mills three shifts and flooding the market,” said Nelles, who has lived most of his life only 70 kilometres from the Canadian border. “They undercut us so bad on the price that we couldn't sell any shakes or shingles.” Cedar shakes and shingles are used in high-quality construction. Shakes, used for siding, are roughly split and maintain their natural contour in widths ranging from three to 10 centimetres; shingles, for roofs, are a sawn product that is smooth and tapered to a point. ‘The tariff has already forced the layoffs of hundreds of workers in British Columbia, primarily east of Vancouver in the Mission area where the bulk of the Canadian industry is located. But there's little immediate sympathy from south of the border. ‘LOOK AT US’ Shake mill worker Amos Ensley said, “The Canadians are hollering about this tariff, but look at us . . . we've been out of work for about six to seven years (and) half the shake mills in the valley are down. “Hell, we didn't get angry at them. Why should they get angry at us? Fair is fair, it’s their turn now,” Nelles said, “Nobody likes tariffs, nobody, likes to see Furniture Warehouse Pl Figures presented to the U.S. International Trade in the tariff petition reveal that more than 2,300 of 4,000 shake and shingle jobs have been lost since 1979 in ae onl éonah Canadian competitors, said Nelles. “It’s been hard for us to make hay of these fancy advances . . . when we've been getting beat bad.” Cedar log prices in the northwestern United States took a modest jump in the wake of the tariff, but Nelles said prices should stay below levels reached in 1979 before the Canadian onslaught forced them down. “We make a good product here in the States. A good quality shake will sell.” But Jack Egbert, a distributor of both Canadian and U.S. shingles and shakes based in Belfair, Wash., says there’s no long-term future for the American cedar industry — “It's a sunset industry.” Canada has a 100-year supply of cedar while the United States has 20 to 30 years at most, said Egbert, who opposes the tariff. He described the duty as self-defeating, saying consumers will switch to cheaper materials like asphalt as cedar becomes more expensive. Cedar shingles and shakes had already slipped to about eight per cent of the U.S. market for roofing and siding materials before the new tariff and Egbert predicted that share will now be cut in half. a™_ if Floor Covering Centre OFFERS AN IN-HOME CARPET SERVICE FOR THE KOOTENAY-BOUNDARY COUNTRY Bill is serving your floor covering needs directly in your home with the Home Goods BILL JOHNSON Call Bill at HomeGoods 693-2227 MOBILE CARPET VAN Match your decor & shop at home! gles: cance.
