Village Arts Co-op carries work of dozens of artists

By Cayla Gabruck Pioneer Staff Village Arts has some of the most intricate and colourful handiwork in western Canada, but its vibrant merchandise is not the only thing that separates it from other fine arts suppliers.

The store, located on main street Invermere, is almost completely operated by volunteers, the artists who make its beautiful merchandise.

“We have the best selection of Canadian fine crafts in the region,” said Sandra Arnold-Beingessner, artist and vice-chair of the Village Arts Society.

Sandra is a glass bead artist and you can find her work at Village Arts. She believes that having the artists working in the store provides a greater quality of service to customers.

“We have a vested interested in giving good service,” Sandra said. “We learn about the other artists, so we speak with some knowledge about the artist and their work.”

The store carries everything from handmade glass jewelry to birch furniture to pottery and raku pieces, and Sandra said there is something for everyone.

“There are items ranging from $2.50 to thousands of dollars,” she said.

Village Arts is more than just a store, it is also a non-profit society.

The store was opened 24 years ago by a group of local artisans including Judy Haldrup, Guenther and Anne Plassmann and Ursel and Hermann Mauthner.

The object of the store was to give local artists a venue to sell their work and make a living.

Village Arts began in a small store, less than half the size of their current area, in the Toby Theatre block.

Today it has grown into a widely-known fine arts and crafts store carrying the work of over 50 artisans from Western Canada.

“We are a colourful local venue that has a foot in both the arts and business communities in Invermere,”

said Cathie Green, chair of the Village Arts Society.

“Our stock is 100 per cent Canadian,” Sandra added.

Village Arts is a hidden gem in the valley, but according to Sandra, most of their customers are locals looking for unique and personal gift ideas.

She did add, however, that they do have customers who travel great distances to Invermere add to their collections of one-of-a-kind items such as pottery.

“Many of our customers say: ‘This is my favorite store,’” Cathie said.

The society now has over 50 members aged 11 to 75, but because some of their older members are retiring, they are looking for new talent and Sandra knows they will have no trouble finding it here in the Columbia Valley.

“We have a wealth of artists in the area,” she said.

Sandra said that Village Arts is valuable to artists too, because it is a chance to belong to an organization and to collaborate with other artists.

“It’s a chance to grow,” Sandra said.

She also believes that it is a wonderful opportunity for artists to have their work displayed on Main Street where it is seen by thousands of people.

Along with attracting new members, the society is also hoping to receive government grants to allow them to hire artists to do in-store demonstrations.

Sandra believes this would be interesting and educational for customers, as well as a wonderful opportunity for the artists.

“We are in a rare position where we are doing artist and community outreach,” she added.

Village Arts is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“Come in, take time and see what Village Arts is all about,” Sandra said.

For more information on the store and the society, you can visit www.villagearts.ca or stop into the attractive green heritage building located on main street.

Gerry’s Gelati cool treat

By Cayla Gabruck Pioneer Staff day.

There is nothing like an ice-cold treat on a hot

If you are on the hunt for that one thing that will bring your skyrocketing temperature down a notch, your first stop should be Gerry’s Gelati.

By now, you are probably thinking . . . what the heck is gelati?

“It’s Italian-style ice cream,” said Gerry Taft, the name behind the business. “It has milk instead of cream and it is frozen and whipped with less air. This gives it more of a creamy texture and strong flavor without the fat.”

Fat-free and delicious. Sounds too good to be true.

Gerry, a born-and-bred Invermerite, opened up the store in 2004. He was only 21 years old.

He got the idea when he was with a friend in Vancouver. He walked into Mondo Gelato and tried one taste of pistachio gelato and the rest is history.

“When I tasted it I thought, ‘My hometown needs this; Invermere needs this,’” Gerry said. “My second thought was ‘I am going to be the person to do it.’”

And so, the Thompson River University graduate got to work.

“The first summer was rough,” Gerry said. “I pulled three all-nighters each week and when I would sleep it was for about two hours on the couch at the store.”

He said he found he couldn’t keep up with the demand for gelati, even though the initial concept of

gelati took a little while to catch on.

“The question I heard all the first summer was, ‘Don’t you have any ‘real’ ice cream?’” he said.

Once the community finally did catch on, there was no stopping them.

“It’s been more successful and better received than I expected,” Gerry said.

He has since expanded his production, buying bigger, more efficient machines. He also has his own “production centre” in his garage. This is where he makes all his gelati and also where he spends most of his time, as it takes 30 minutes to make one flavor of gelati.

“It is the fourth summer and it is only now at the point where I wanted it to be on the first day,” Gerry said. “I am grateful for the community’s patience.”

Believe it or not, owning his own business was not Gerry’s original career plan.

“I wanted to be a manager at Tim Hortons,” he said. “I went as far as to work at a Tim’s in Kamloops.”

However, Gerry said he discovered quickly from his experience with the Canadian coffee company that he did not want to work for a big corporation. “I wanted to be an owner, not a manager,” he added.

His primary focus now is keeping up with the increasing demand for gelati and fixing up an authentic gelati truck.

Gerry’s, located right beside Village Arts and across from Tiffany’s Thredz, is open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.

“The only day of the whole year we are closed is Christmas Day,” Gerry said.

sons - Ryan and Marc - opened the original Bavin Glassworks in Windermere in 1988, but by the late 1990s, Pat realized that he had to expand.

Bavin Glassworks is now home to 45 artists, diplaying work in glass, metal, and clay. Their specialty, of course, is glass.

“We are very unique to the industry,” Pat said. “Working in the public eye is key to our success. People love the cultural interaction with the artists.”

The store is one of only three of its kind in Western Canada that allow the public to see their work in progress.

The process is not a quick one either, but the public view every single step, beginning with the initial gathering of glass on the blowpipe from a propane furnace at a scorching 2400 degrees Fahrenheit, right down to the final shaping, using centrifugal force and gravity.

If you have questions, the artists at the hot shop are happy to answer them.

There are also bead-making courses available, which use many of the same concepts as glass blowing, just in a much smaller form.

The three-hour courses are held in the mornings and the cost per student is $85.

Bavin Glassworks is located at 4884A Athalmer Highway in Invermere.

You can also check out the Bavin Glass Cabin located at Panorama Mountain Village.

If you have ever stepped inside Bavin Glassworks, you have surely wondered how on earth a human could produce such beautiful products.

Now is your chance to find out.

Every Thursday at 11 a.m. the artists at Bavin Glassworks give an up close and personal glass-blowing demonstration.

“The material holds a lot of mystery,” said Pat Bavin, owner of the store.

“It’s a huge challenge and it is always challenging.”

Pat was first seduced by the art of glass blowing when he was in Seattle and tripped upon a “hot shop,” which is a place that where glass is blown.

“They booted me out at 5,” said Pat. “I decide then and there I wanted to blow glass.”

And so he did.

Pat enrolled in Pilchuck Glass School near Seattle in 1981, and was a student there off and on until 1994.

Pat explained that students undergo intensive training for three or four months and then head out into the working world to practise what they have learnt for years before heading back to school.

“It takes eight to ten years to become a successful glass blower,” Pat said.

His son Ryan also attended Pilchuck Glass School. This was, of course, after Ryan had finished seven years of apprenticing with his father, which began when he was 15 years old.

Built in 1922, the fort served as a community centre for many years.

Fort Point neighbourhood once boasted a 'real' fort

By Cayla Gabruck Pioneer Sta Visitors to Kinsmen Beach in Invermere might wonder about the history of the old log stockade at the far western end of the beach.

It is the last surviving remnant of the original David Thompson Memorial Fort, built in 1922 by the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Canadian PaciďŹ c Railway as a memorial to the famous explorer, David Thompson.

The fort, built on the hill above Kinsmen Beach, was ďŹ rst used as a tourist attraction for the CPR Lake Windermere Lodge and cabins.

David Thompson never did build a fort, although 200 years ago he built a trading post called Kootenae House between Invermere and Wilmer. The trading

post no long exists, although a cairn marks the spot.

The spectacular fort built in 1922 had a hardwood oor, and a huge staircase with an interior balcony wrapping around three sides. The balcony was furnished with benches, and the building was topped o with a large ďŹ replace and small kitchen.

The fort was decorated with native exhibits, furs and mounted wildlife. The centrepiece of the fort was a large grand piano.

During its prime, the fort switched hands many times.

For years, Invermere resident Howard Cleland kept the books and made the bookings for the fort. He would recruit his entire family to clean and prepare the fort for special occasions.

August 3, 2007 Continued from previous page Years later the Lake Windermere Valley Sports Club took over the management of the fort. They removed the gas lamps used to light the building and had it wired for electricity.

The fort was a popular place for locals. The hardwood floor made a good badminton and basketball court, and there were various social events held there.

It was also a popular destination for a leisurely stroll, as the view was spectacular and the door was always open.

Unfortunately in its later years, the fort became a burden to the community because there were not funds for its maintenance.

During the war years, there was very little activity at the fort. Its walls began to crumble, the fencing fell down and the roof and foundation became unsafe.

It was no longer a popular local hangout, but instead a popular target for local youth and their slingshots.

When the Invermere Memorial Community Hall opened downtown on July 1, 1947, the fort was forgotten

by most, but not by everyone.

In 1948, the Invermere Golf Club was made a trustee of the fort in hopes of keeping it going. But did not have the funds either.

From 1956 to 1958, the Historical Society held a “Save the Fort” campaign.

They needed $5,000 plus the value of the land to effectively restore the fort.

They campaigned in the community and wrote numerous letters looking for others to support.

Unfortunately, the battle was lost.

The owner of the land, the Columbia Valley Irrigated Fruitlands, had no intention of selling the land privately.

That is, until Audrey Young and Fred Becker of Invermere purchased it with the intention of building a residential subdivision.

Not long after, contractors Tom Andruschuk and Doug and Don Sinclair tore down the fort.

All that remains is the tower.

If you go down to Kinsmen Beach and look to the right side of Lake Windermere, you will catch a glimpse of the last remaining piece of the David Thompson Memorial Fort.

Lakeside Event has entrants jumping off the mountain and landing in the lake

The 31th annual Lakeside event will be held on August 11th.

The Lakeside event is, to the best knowledge of the organizers, Canada’s longest-running light aviation meet.

Pilots will descend from Mount Swansea and participate in a water-landing contest in Lake Windermere beside the Lakeside Pub. “Paragliding and hang-gliding is not usually a sport that’s easily watched because you are trying to get so high,” said Penny Powers, who helps with the event. “This is why we have a splashdown target, so people can see what it is really all about.”

Last year the event brought 82 pilots from all over North America to the Columbia Valley and this year Penny said they are hoping for just as many, if not more.

If you are interested in participating

you can register on the day of the event, or pre-register online at the Lakeside Event website.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, and flights will continue until around 5 p.m.Saturday, weather permitting.

Penny and the other organizers invite everyone to come out and watch the event.

“It is a great family day event,” she said. “We want to get more people exposed to the sport and show that it is safe when it is done properly.”

In addition to the daytime festivities, on Saturday night McCuaig will be playing at the Lakeside after the pilots enjoy their banquet. Tickets will be available all day at the event.

There will be a children’s tent set up outside the Lakeside Pub while the band is playing.

Slo-pitch tournament looking for ball players

By Cayla Gabruck Pioneer Sta Batter up!

The Humdingers slo-pitch team of Invermere, and Fundamental Event Marketing, are teaming up to host a fun slo-pitch tournament and festival on Saturday, August 18 and Sunday August, 19. “My slo-pitch team last year wanted to go into tournaments and couldn’t do it because there were none,� said Lindsay Johnston, event organizer. “I thought it would be a cool thing to do here.�

Lindsay moved to Invermere from Calgary, and recently bought her ďŹ rst home here in Invermere. She said she is very excited to be here, and even more excited for Ballfest.

The event will combine a three game round-robin tournament with food, drinks, music and entertainment for a day to mark o on your calendar.

The tournament is for senior mixed teams, but if you can’t get a team together, there are individual registration spots available. The round robin will begin Saturday, and the top four teams will play o Sunday morning for the championship.

However, a slo-pitch tournament will not be the only feature at Ballfest.

Tournament organizers are hoping to create an afternoon Farmers’ Market as an extension to the popular Invermere Farmers’ Market held Saturday morning in town. They are also inviting vendors to set up on the festival grounds free of charge, except where special arrangements are needed.

This is a non-proďŹ t event and is geared towards engaging registrants and the public alike in a fun day full of activity for all ages.

Nevertheless, like any community event, Ballfest needs a little help from the community. “I am hoping this will be an annual event if we get

a good response,� Lindsay said.

Luckily, there are several ways you can get involved and ensure Ballfest is here next year.

Obviously, the ďŹ rst way is to register a team! The cost to register a team is $400. That money goes to fund the cost of renting the diamonds, insurance and possibly prizes for teams.

There are also sponsorship opportunities. There are four dierent types of sponsors needed.

The event is looking for two Diamond Sponsors at a cost of $500, and one Team VIP Area Sponsor, which also costs $500; plus prize and sign sponsorships. The cost to be a sign sponsor is $50. This will allow you to hang your company sign up along the perimeter fencing of the festival grounds.

For more information, contact Lindsay Johnston at 342-0420 before August 10.

Ballfest will be held at the crossroads ball diamonds on Highway 93/95 in Invermere.
