Feature Artist:
“I grew up and studied fine art in Scotland. I have been involved in the local arts community since 2002 when I first moved out to the east shore. Sometimes referred to as an art deco revivalist, I draw inspiration from vintage art & film, contemporary iconography, graphic novels and pinup illustration (to name a few.) My practice focuses on the study and stylization of the female form. I incorporate textiles, mixed media, print and paint as my medium. I work on birch and cherry wood panels that I get from a local coffin maker. I like that the wood holds a story too. I explore the nature of secrets, identity and persona. Each piece intends to capture a sacred moment.” To view more on Lady V, visit her blog at:

Sunday 4 p.m. Rossland, BC The WKW Roller Derby season has reached its finale and what better way to thank the Kootenays for a year of amazing support than one last double-header bout night at the Rossland Arena. Doors open at 4 p.m. and at 5 p.m. sharp our league’s newest teams make their long awaited debut. Trail’s Bloodshed Betties and Slocan’s Valley Vendettas have been training hard and hitting harder and the excitement of their first bout is sure to make this a fantastic fight for the win and a perfect warm-up for the final to come. You can already hear the wheels spinning as semi-finals winner Babes of Brutality (Salmo) prepare to recoup their early season loss to undefeated Gnarlie’s Angels (Rossland). The Angels have been in first place
all season but the Babes have no intention of leaving them there, when bodies strewn across the track as ‘easy points’ is far more appealing. As the only team to have defeated the Babes, the Angels will have their work cut out for them – and have planned accordingly. Shoulder slams, hip whips, flying leaps and skidding halts will keep your breath in your throat and your eyes on the track until the last whistle blows. Tickets can be purchased at www.kootenayrollerderby.com or at your local retailer – IF they have any left. If you still haven’t seen West Kootenay Roller Derby, come out from under your rock and don’t miss this season’s last chance to see the toughest women in the region duke it out! ~Courtney Shove #40 WKWRD League Assn.

Spencer Tunick
#3 502 Baker Street. Nelson, BC. 250.354.4843 Page 4
Artist Spencer Tunick has been documenting the live nude figure in public, with photography and video, since 1992. Since 1994, he has organized over 95 temporary site-related installations that encompass dozens, hundreds or thousands of volunteers, and his photographs are records of these events. The individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped
together, metamorphose into a new shape. The... bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These group masses, which do not underscore sexuality, become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one’s views of nudity and privacy. The work also refers to the complex issue of presenting art in permanent or temporary public spaces.

It will be shown at Oxygen Art Centre from September 2 to 24 and gallery hours will be 1-5pm, Wednesday to Saturday. Sarah Alford, Jennifer Bowes, and Dee Gibson create works that examine the patterns and details of our natural surroundings using everyday materials such as hot glue, baking parchment, butchers cord, and staples. Through their labour-intensive, process-driven, and site-responsive practice, they create a space for contemplating and re-imagining what it means to know the world. This will be the first exhibition for the three artists who are also long-time friends. Although living in different provinces, they communicate online and offer feedback to each other on an ongoing basis. On exhibiting in Nelson for the first time, Sarah Alford said, “Nelson is a wonderful city with a dynamic art scene. There are world-class artists living here and we wanted to be a part of this vibrant culture.” The suggestion to exhibit at Oxygen came from none other than Bill Metcalfe, a well-known name in the Nelson arts community as well as Sarah Alford’s uncle. As individual artists, Alford, Bowes, and Gibson each have a unique background in the arts. Across their various disciplines and approaches, some common themes in their work are silence, fragility, and living in a rural landscape. To find out more about the artists, visit Oxygen’s website at www.oxygenartcentre.org. This exhibition is free and open to the public.

Art of Touch Massage To hear Julie Pouliot, owner of Art of Touch Massage Therapy tell it, the name of her company is more of a mantra then play on words. Every person is different and the art is to listen to the messages their body sends and then adjust the massage accordingly, muscles can’t lie. It’s something she’s gotten very good at rather quickly. Julie knew she wanted to be a massage therapist from the age of 13. She went to school in Montreal when she was 17 and in her six years of working as a Massage Therapist she’s worked with the Montreal Alouttes of the CFL, at countless sporting events, last year was a member of the massage team at Retallack and has been a Registered Massage Therapist in Nelson since 2009 opening her clinic at 205 Victoria Street here in Nelson since April of this year. Chair massage is Julie’s main focus, having done it since she was in school traveling to businesses and working on the staff there to increase productivity and overall health. “When it comes to businesses where people are sitting all day you see a lot of hip tightness and neck issues. If you release the neck and increase the
circulation, 15 minutes can make a huge difference in a person’s well being,” says Julie. It’s a never ending learning curve for Julie who has already studied Swedish Massage, Shiatsu, Sports massage, Special Needs massage (Cerebral Palsy, MS ALS, etc) and Infant Massage, which is something that really excites her. “I would love to teach more parents how to massage their infants. It creates such a beautiful bond between the parent and the infant through the sense of touch because touch is the first special sense to be developed in utero, so if you’re able to heighten their sensitivity it creates more neural connections in the baby’s head.” One of Julie’s goals is to bring awareness to massage therapy, “People see massage therapy as a luxury and they don’t take the time to really focus on how they feel, I want to bring that awareness to them, to their own bodies and to how amazing massage therapy can be. I want people to be open, to come and get massages, have someone take care of them, take that weight of pain off of them so they can live more comfortably!”

Leo (July 23-Aug 22)
Try to help a friend in need — their appreciation could make your whole week feel like a big win! Your energy is a bit stretched out just now but that doesn’t mean you can’t pitch in. Your lucky day this week will be Sunday.
Aquarius (Jan. 21- Feb. 19)
You’re feeling more connected than usual, and it’s a very good time to reach out to people and let them know how you feel about them. Your lucky day this week will be Friday. Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)
Virgo (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23)
Try to push yourself harder than usual — you’ve got quite a lot to do, and far too many attractive distractions to deal with easily. If you can just cross that one item off your list, the others are easy! Your lucky day this week will be Thursday. Libra (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23)
Your communication skills are hot right now, and you can tell that your energy is right for telling that one person what you really think or feel. See if your people can share their thoughts, too! Your lucky day this week will be Saturday. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
You are more easily persuaded today — but that’s not such a bad thing. Listen to everyone make their case, and take your time before coming to a decision. You are the linchpin, whether you realize it or not. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21)
You earn the admiration of someone who is hard to impress. It could be as simple as a little trick you learned years ago or as big as standing up for what seems like a lost cause. Make the most of it! Your lucky day this week will be Monday.
Your family or colleagues need a change — but you’re the only one who can see it. Now is a good time to start pushing for something new, though you may find that it takes time to sink in. Your lucky day this week will be Tuesday. Aries (Mar. 21- April 20)
You are legitimately concerned about how others are seeing you, and today may bring some new information to light. Don’t freak out — you’ve got to just set the record straight as soon as you can. Your lucky day this week will be Wednesday. Taurus (Apr. 21- may 21)
Someone new has a great idea — and you’d do well to pay careful attention! Their understanding runs deeper than you can see just now and that could mean that you’ve got to deal with something new.. Your lucky day this week will be Monday.
