Dad he notes that the reece Ad Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 14, 1991 Joe Schoenteld: Do it again any time. by Diana English Artist Anne-Marie Nehring has™ been commissioned by Northern Lights Studio to paint a four-by-24 foot mural for the west wall: of - their main building. The mural will face into the Japanese gardens. “.Shehas been working on the mural since the beginning of August and feels it will probably . take four weeks in all to finish. The mural itself is bright, colour- ful and happy. It is a dream fan- tasy of the Skeena River from the old bridge to Kitselas Canyon and features riverboats and rainbows. There are two totem poles in the painting, images of the ones that were originally at Kitselas. The trees are depicted with rainbows surrounding them for protection, and some of the trees are holding hands. Anne-Marie says the ideas behind the trees holding hands and being surrounded by rainbows came from a children’s story she wrote. In her story the trees are rooted in the earth but are tall enough to talk to the stars. They pass from hand to hand the magic the stars tell and they also protect the world by holding hands. Anne-Marie advises that this CITY OF MAY BE INSPECTED between Joe and Cecile Schoenfeld are leaving Terrace today, and when they go the city’s only bed and breakfast accommodation establish- ment comes to an end, Bed and breakfast — lodging in a private home that offers exactly what the name says — has been a popular type of travel accommoda- tion in Burope for decades. Travel- lers get to meet their hosts in a personal environment that hotels can’t offer and often get to know the community better than they ' would otherwise. The idea is catching on in North America, but " during the Schoenfelds’ four year of B&B operation. in Terrace 90 percent of their clients came from Germany, Joe says. He had a booking agent in that country, and demand is still. there if anyone in Terrace is inter- ested in picking the business up. City’s only B&B house now closed | He and bilingual Cecile have decided to move to Ottawa, where she has been offered a job with the federal government. Joe says it isn’t a business for everyone, but it’s ideal for those who enjoy contact with a variety of people and want to operate & home business. The permit process he had to go through for the city took about three months, he said, adding that the local Chamber of Commerce has been very support- ive. : In addition to the accommodation service, Joe also offered fish guid- ing for his clients through North- west Fishing Guides. “You have to provide a professional, quality service," he said. His business grew primarily through word-of- mouth among German travellers, he totes. .

Hallsor, © Clerk-Administrator BATIONAL RAR AY in progress mural is a first for her in many ways as she has never painted -a mural before, She has also never painted with acrylics nor has she worked in public, other than when she was teaching. She found acrylics difficult to work with. at first but-has quickly learned what she can do with them. She says they are much more forgiving than watercolours aS you can paint over any mis- takes. Anne-Marie says she is using acrylics instead of oils because they are not as toxic as oils and not as environmentally harmful. The mural is being painted on the type of plastic often used for sign painting. In talking about public reaction to the mural, Anne-Marie says that children like it the best. They are not afraid to come up to talk to her and touch the painting. She says that much of her work now is for and about children. Anne-Marie grew up in the Kis- piox Valley but is based out of West Varicouver now. She is cur- rently working on designs for shirts depicting whales and other sea creatures at play. She is hoping to have the shirts on the market before Christmas. They will be sold locally at Northern Lights Studio.
