Forde, whose work will. be on exhibit at the West Kootenay National Exhibition Centre from Sept. 20 to Oct. 21 Forde has shown his own special brand of contemporary painting in Vancouver, Edmonton and London, Ont. He relates his work to the very roots of modern painting — to the work of Kandinsky, the father of ab- Straction, to that of Picasso, the Protean originator of ‘numerous styles, and to that of surrealist Gretzky OTTAWA (CP) — He writes, he scores! So what else is new?

Forde has a strong sense of the role of the artist in the modern world. He believes, for instance; that because ar- tists typically enjoy life, their Work can be a revelation of fun. He also believes art and artists can be quite ‘subversive’? — in a manner political authorities haven't always been in- clined to tolerate, the NEC says. “I want to create,” Fordé says. “And maybe provide food for thought and bring some light to this occasionally benighted world.’’ Forde desoribes his current show in the NEC's big gallery as a ‘‘visual smorgasbord."’ All the paintings are pretty much fresh off the easel, done in the spring and summer of this year. “I had fun doing these paintings,” he says, “‘and if anyone viewing them enjoys the show, well voila: Showing in the smaller gallery at the NEC, from Sept. 20 to Oct. 31, is an_ exhibition of the work of the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild, Currently based at the Doukhobor Village near Castlegar, the guild was founded in 1972. Its members have been dedicated to promoting the public’s awareness and appreciation of spinning and weaving. The exper- tise of the members ranges from spin- ning and dyepot techniques to basket making.

He suggested several Canadian cities — Hamilton, Saskatoon and Ottawa — are worthy contenders but may be passed over lucrative television American markets. “‘If that’s where the NHL has to go because of the salaries, then obviously they’re probably looking at Florida, Seattle.”’ The bulky, . three-volume braille edition may be purchased from the CNIB for $24.95, the same price as the print copy. in favor of revenues in The book, now being translated in- to French, acknowledges the odd boozing binge by Oiler players during Gretzky’s days in Edmonton.

Gretzky seemed under no illusion that it’s on literary par with, say, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret At- wood or matches the intellectual heights of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. “It’s light reading.” Gretzky, who sponsors an annual celebrity softball game in his hometown of Brantford, Ont., to raise money for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, had Suggested the book be produced in braille.

This means cable television and telephone service will enter homes via one system of fibre optic lines, rather than through two separate lines as they do now. “It’s a code word the public should get used to because they're going to get a lot of interesting surprises out of it,”” Spicer said in an interview.

Fibre optics can carry so many channels — compared with about 50 now available to most urban cable subscribers — that audiences will become extremely fragmented. Broadcasters will have to pay more at- tention to audience size. And to _at- tract viewers, they’ll have to provide good programs, Spicer said. The early warning system for the age of convergence is going to be media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s 108- channel Sky Cable — a satellite-to- home television service planned for the United States in 1993 that will spill over into Canada. “Something like that can knock all our programming . . . into the middle of the next week,’’ Spicer said. “‘When the Murdoch satellite gets up, I suspect that it will force us to question the relevance, quantitatively, of Canadian content.”* Spicer already talks about quotas in the past tense. “Although the quantitative rules have served us well . . . we have to work with industry and artists and consumers, to come to working definitions of what good program- ming is.”’ Asked if the CRTC’s days are numbered, Spicer replied: “Anything is possible.” But he qualified that. “I'm not saying the CRTC is going to die. If it does, it will be after my time.”’ ® FIRESIDE 2:2" 1810-8th Ave... Costiegor SUNDAY BRUNCH 10 A.M.-2 P.M.

The church was decorated with various yellow fresh flowers, and the aisle was lined with yellow and white pew bows. Music included harp selections by Joan Huysmans, a vocal duet by Jasmine Wong and Dave Alger, Only God Could Love You More, and a piano selection by Alger, Great is Thy Faithfulness, as the bride and groom together lit a candle of unity. Organ selections by Wayne Faser included Christ Our King and Bridal Chorus for the processional, and The Wedding March for the recessional. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a high-necked white satin mermaid-style gown with flutter sleeves and a fitted bodice and waist. The skirt was draped at the hips and extended to form a chapel- length train which was designed also to button up into a bustle. The bodice and train were adorned with appliques featuring pearls and irridescent sequins. Her shimmering veil was held by a headdress of white silk blossoms and teardrop pearls. She carried a cascading bouquet of fresh yellow roses, white freesia and baby’s breath. Close friend of the bride, Nadine Braun of Vancouver, was maid of honor.

Following the ceremony, the bride and groom greeted guests in the narthex of the church, and then the bridal party departed for Queen Elizabeth Park for wedding photographs. A ion followed at F Hall which was decorated with yellow and emerald-green hearts, bells, streamers and balloons. Master of ceremonies was Paul Zinn of Delta, brother-in-law of the groom. The toast to the bride was offered by Bill Chiveldave of Grand Forks, uncle of the bride, and the toast to the bridesmaids was given by Lance Windsor-Brown. The four-layer fruitcake wedding cake, with layers individually displayed, was set upon an heirloom pulled-thread cloth made by the bride’s grandmother, Mabel Chiveldave of Grand Forks. Decorations on the cake included white wedding bells and yellow hearts, sweetpeas and bachelor’s buttons. It was topped by the bridal pair originally used on the bride’s parent's wedding cake. After dinner and the cutting of the wedding cake, wedding guests were introduced to formerly unfamiliar aspects of the bridal couple’s backgrounds through an entertaining slide show and songs presented by their friends.

The dresses had simple jewel necklines, puffed shoulders with long sleeves, and were each accented by a string of pearls. The bouquets were of fresh yellow lilies, peach-colored alstramiria, white freesia and baby’s breath. The groom wore a white tuxedo with white vest and ascot tie.

In this city, far from his home, he slips into the self-destructive drug culture, but is encountered by a single, caring person — a person of deep faith. The person, Rajam Prasad, found a way to share Christ’s message of love, hope and forgiveness in a way that Devon could not ignore. Vast audiences who have witnessed the film’s premiere in movie theatres around the world have been gripped by its central focus on their friendship which was forged out of danger and desperation, the New Life Assembly says. Deeply moved by the warmth of the film with its many moments. of humor, Graham said ‘‘Caught is cer- tainly the most outstanding film yet produced by World Wide Pictures.”” Caught raises a challenge to us all — in reality, one caring person can have an immeasurable impact on the life of another lonely, disillusioned, desperate person, New Life Assembly says.
