Co -Op going to court for pollution charges GODERICH - The Ministry of the Environment reports that thc Hensall District Co -Op will be an- swering to pollution charges in Goderich Court this week.

The Hensall company has been charged with one count under sec- tion 13 of the Environmental Pro- tection Act, which relates to unlaw- fully discharging a contaminant, one count under section 14 for fail- ing to notify the ministry of the dis- charge, and one count under section 81, which relates to failing to mini- mize the effects of a spill.

This year the exhibition was held in the lower level of the Grand Bend Municipal building, on Saturday and Sunday, February 15-16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Guild members Pat Venton and Dec Overduin organized the show. The art work displayed featured mainly 1oc'al artists this year, mem- bers of the Grand Bend Art Club Each year the quality of local artists improve, and the number of retired artists increases. Soon Grand Bend will be known for its "art colony", as well as a tourist resort with a fa- mous beach. A - talented group of artists is a valuable asset to a tourist town, as evidenced by St. Jean- port-Joli of Quebec. That tiny town has mushroomed into a thriving colony of artisans, working in wood. pottery, and textiles. Visitors were favorably impressed by the show, and commented on the quali- ty of the work. Jowie Hilkes Britton, of Huron Woods, is a talented young artist who is planning her own show in the near future, in London. Her un- usually textured water colours arc painstakingly worked at "' per hour, to create tree bark, moss, drift- wood, and flowers that look three dimensionally real to the touch. En- gelina VanEssen of Exeter creates quilts, wall hangings and pottery, that have been displayed both in Europe and North American. Her "Lake Huron Sunset" wall hanging creates an illusion of colour rip- pling across the water as the sun sinks into the lake. "Windows of Joy" might be cloth, but they look like stained glass. Barry Richman uses blocks of colour to shape, shade and form his work, using very few lines. His brushwork creates water that laps at the shore -and the side of the boat. The icy waters of Grand Bend win- ter harbour glisten in deep bine cold. Helen Cockshutt paints in acrylics on furniture or metal trays, creating vivid, lifelike coloured birds, or fruit and flowers.
