02-371-6. Pg. 9. Caption: My studio is an old converted power station. It's all that's left of Woodcock, B.C., a deserted northwestern railroad town. Living there in the middle of the Coast Mountains is quite a contrast to growing up in Windsor and Detroit, where I watched the city consume the landscape. The writer is Carl Chaplin, a commercial artist cum visionary artist who flirts with imagery of nature as much as imagery of the apocalypse. He insists that a nuclear holocaust will destroy the world as we know it within two years. He also insist the powers of nature and imagination. His work is currently on display at Whistler Art Gallery in the Wedgeview Building (till Jan. 29), and the lobbies of Crystal Lodge and The Keg.

02-378-87. Pg. 13. Caption: Mike Davidson of the Alta Lake Sports Club will even spend time in the brig if it means hanging onto his hobby cannons. The one-pounder above was made by Great West Cannon Co. of Granville Island and is authentic in size and workmanship to the original. Davidson says. It was often hoisted into a ship's rigging and used to fire nails and other shrapnel at the enemy. Davidson uses the cannon to proclaim the open various sporting events but two years ago found himself in RCMP lock-up for four hours when a policeman arrested him for discharging a firearm in the municipality. But it's all in good fund, and the only thing fired is paper.
