Tricia Sellmer, Alexander Forbes, Henry Small and Tina Moore “boppin’ with Mr. Mynah” and “Children’s Art Collection” will open at The Station House Gallery on February 2nd, 2012 at 5:00pm, and will run until February 25.
Four Canadian artists teamed up to produce an “exhibition in a tube” that can be shipped to communities aboard the Greyhound bus. boppin’ with Mr. Mynah is a playful exhibition comprised of ten large scale paintings on canvas by accomplished artist Tricia Sellmer, senyru poetry (similar to Japanese haiku) by Alexander Forbes, set to music by Henry Small and sung by Tina Moore. The show reads like a filmstrip of rich colours and vibrant brushwork. With the help of the mood enhancing music, viewers are easily drawn into the world of Mr. Mynah. This multimedia show, exhibited in the main gallery of the Station House is one not to be missed.

Lst night American Idol featured 10,000 auditions in San Diego, where the judges were set up on the USS Midway aircraft carrier, with Steven Tyler decked out in a ‘fly boy’ pilot cap and goggles.
The show seems to capitalize on unique features of each location where they hold auditions, and in the case of San Diego, the huge military presence. The constant roar of jets and aircraft were definitely highlighted on tonight’s show---a raging wall of sound that interrupted hopefuls in mid-sentence as they spoke and as they sang.

Sifting through coal dust and looking for talent
By LeRae Haynes
The American Idol show sailed through auditions in Pittsburgh last night: a city where industry and history meet with a mighty metallic clang and where 38 more ‘hopefuls’ were selected for the next round. There seemed to be more background stories twined around the audition footage, with everything from coal dust, dad-in-dialysis and drug addition used to explain why this experience for these singers is often more than simply the desire to be the next Kris Allen or Scotty McCreery.

‘Goosies’ and ‘joy hops’ on American Idol
By LeRae Haynes
American Idol Season 11 kicked off tonight in Savannah with about a million contestants lining the sidewalks, and wearing their hearts and their dreams right out in the open like whole-body sandwich boards in a church vestibule. They were vying for a few select golden tickets to Hollywood for the next round.

Potters pack the kilns for Valentine's Day
The Cariboo Potters Guild is organizing another Empty Bowls fundraiser. The event is scheduled for February 14 at Alley Katz Bistro. People can get a bowl of soup for $15 and get to keep the bowl. “We are working like slaves trying to make more bowls than last year as it sold out so quickly,” said Jude Prevost.
