All about thos

‘Tis the season for garage sales, Or should we call them yard sales? Some people have them in the carport or on the driveway. No matter where they're held, you'll find a strange bit of entertainment associated with them.

Why do we have garage sales anyway? Do we really believe we're going to make a lot of money? Not likely, but we can’t simply throw out that junk that's been lying around. It's of no use to us—and hasn't been ‘since a day or two after it was bought— but it might be needed by some unwary buyer.

Some householders use a garage sale as a good excuse to clean house or, better yet, Clear the house. These people are con- sumers who buy, buy, buy, so each year there's a lot of crap to get rid of.

A few people are moving away, so what better way to cut moving costs than to have a garage sale. The garage-sale sharpie looks for these types of sales. Lots of good stuff is avail- able at very low prices.

Very rarely do you find a garage sale with good junk— things that you buy because you can't do without them, Many people in fact are simply selling trash that they should have hauled to the dump. Who needs

that glass ashtray, that shoeshine kit, that plastic vase, that scratched record, or those skis from 15 years ago!

Garage sale junkies come in a variety of shapes and styles, First, there's Earl the Early-bird. If the ad indicates the sale will begin at 9:00, Earl will be snoop- ing around at 8:30. Sometimes he sits in his car out on the street, looking annoyed that you haven't opened yet. Other times, he is

One of the biggest successes however, was the Arrow Lakes cruise by Do-Un-To Charters.

“The cruise went over excellent, and the visitors had a fabulous time. It was also the perfect opportunity at the start of the conference to get to know everyone in a real social atmosphere. It really set the place for the rest of the week, Chernoff continued.”

As well as Chernoff, hostesses for the tours were women repre-

As a result, the visitors spent time at the Doukhobor Historical Muse- um, located across from the Castlegar Airport, and tasted Russian food at the Spinning Wheel Restaraunt. All delegates were treated to a performance by the Kootenay Men’s Choir, who performed a number of Russian folk songs. The standing ovation and cries for an encore were a pleasent surprise for Chernoff.

“The visitors really appreciated seeing the Russian influences here,”

Chernoff, and co-organizer Donna Dunlop, both of whom rep- resented the Castlegar Fire Depart- ment, agreed that the spousal program was a complete success. “These were people who had never

Quilts, embroidery, thread, yarn and wallhangings are the tools and ium of the New i artist Bettina Maylone. She uses the medium as a visual story- telling vehicle. The observation of events and incidents in her life are recounted with pleasure and joy in a graphic yet fanciful depiction employing thread and fabric, just as another artist might use draw-

ing or painting.

‘Whether the work is a large quilt or small square of fabric, a momentary but moving event is encapsulated much as a film clip might summarize a longer story. In this sense, it is significant that Maylone ‘has produced three ani- mated films employing progressive or sequential embroidery work that ‘evolves’ from frame to frame in the film. Her wall pieces also have some of the character of the ‘story- boards’ that animators use to pre- view their concepts in the

Islands” may be seen at the gallery during the exhibition.

There is a poignancy mixed with humour in Maylone’s work and in the way she describes her view. In a comment about her “Wiseacre Quilt” she says:

“I have collected the colourful sayings that my friends come out with. My 98-year-old neighbor sat down and wrote out a whole page of them for me. I wanted to make a quilt with these words on it to sleep under so that I would

Karen Hunter:

Patterned Reasoning

Karen Hunter's recent paint- ings are strongly reminiscent of quilts and fibreworks. But instead of fabric and thread, Hunter uses painting and drawing materials to capture a sense of the qualities of pattern and form that are com-

through the use of quiltmaking patterns. Quilt patterns also rep- resent rich social, political, spiri- tual and natural histories.”

One could conclude that deal- ing with the issue of the duality of ‘space’ in paintings is very much an intellectual process, devoid of ‘soul’. But Hunter's work is in fact quite charged with

you're still pricing it, He doesn't believe that “no early birds” applies to him.

Partway through the garage sale, you nearly always have to deal with Barb the Bargainer. You have a few bedding plants left over to sell, so you're asking about half the nursery price. Barb, though, wants a lower price yet. If it's going for 50 cents, she asks if you'll take 25 cents. If they're three for a dol- lar, she'll ask if you'll throw in a few extra. Her aim is to barter on something selling for a dime and get it for a nickle. Some- times too when she goes to pay, she'll be short 40 cents or so. She counts on you giving in— and you usually do. By this time, you're either angry or you don't give a damn.

Ian the Invader is another garage-sale type that shows up. He's not content to stay in the cordoned off area. You'll find him on the other side of ropes and behind tables you've set up as boundary markers.

Sometimes he’s at the other end of your carport looking long- ingly at your best sprinkler hose. Or he'll haul one of your kids’ bikes out of the sideyard and ask why it’s not priced. As well, he'll

Lou the Looker shows up at every garage-sale. There must be hope springing eternal in her breast. She seertis to be looking for something quite specific but if asked could never tell you what it is. Perhaps she is hoping you'll have put out the family china and given it a firesale price.

But with Lou, you can never tell. She fingers a lot of items but usually goes away without spend- ing any money. The joy for her is in looking—and possibly finding that once in a lifetime item.

Then there's Sally the Sell- again buyer. She is looking for middle of the road junk—and she wants it as cheap as she can get it. Each Saturday for several

months, she haunts the local garage sales and hauls away bun- dles and bundles.

Then one Saturday she too has a garage sale. Lo and behold, the stuff you sold her last month is now up for sale again—but at a higher price.

The list of characters could go on and on. Colin the collec- tor shows up often as does Annie the antique addict. Colin is after a certain type of item like unusual water sprinkler- heads while Annie is assessing the glass or furniture to see if it’s at least “1930ish”. Bill the Builder arrives partway through
