exotic plants. Her life continues to
grow more intimately entwined with
the botanical world.
In fact, all the time she's spent
among plants has caused her to
question the possibility of plant consciousness. It’s a fascinating prospect, one which has been explored
by Olaf Stapledon in his epic science fiction novel “Starmaker,” and
which is currently under research in
numerous institutions. It has been
found that seedlings which are siblings will position themselves as they
grow in a manner that allows them to
Page 6
Alberta House News
share light exposure equally. How they recognize one another was initially
thought to be through their root systems, but experimentation found contradictory evidence, so the method of recognition remains unknown. For
these reasons (among many more), Brooke chooses to focus her work on
plants, giving them the respect that is often granted people. After all,
photosynthesis is the most important reaction on the planet, for without it,
there would be neither oxygen nor food. Among Brooke's goals is to
draw attention to the world’s silent heroes─ plants.
Brooke’s exhibit, as promised, focuses on plants, many of them unusual or
exotic. All the paintings are in oil. Meet her on August 17!
NORTHERN SPIRIT
“Northern Spirit” is a fitting name for the studio of Yoshiko Van
Voorhies and for her current exhibit. Go as far north as you can in the
U. S. and you’ll end up in the U. P. Go as far north as you can in Japan
and you’ll end up in Hokkaido. Yoshiko Van Voorhies came to Detour
by way of Hokkaido, Japan whose climate may be even more vigorous
than ours and is thriving—bicycling, walking and gardening in summer; snowshoeing in winter. She is active with the Detour Artist Coop, the EUP Fine Arts Council and the Detour Botanical
Garden; paints sets for local
performances; teaches art to
children; teaches yoga and
has a black belt in Wado Ru
karate. A long time resident
of Detour, Yoshiko is married
to Kurt Van Voorhies and has
a daughter and grandchildren in Sault Ste. Marie.
Beginning with pen and ink,
Yoshiko has expanded her
repertoire to include watercolor, acrylic, graphite, and
jewelry making. Her subject
matter varies, but the focus
is on the beauty and
spirit of the northland. Yoshiko’s last
exhibit in Alberta
House was in August
of 2009.
Meet Yoshiko at her
reception in Alberta

41ST ANNUAL SAULT SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL
This year’s festival has a nice balance
of artists and craftsmen. Many of our
old favorites are returning and we
have interesting new artists coming in
as well. What follows is a list of exhibitors to date that is organized according to category. Since many artists are
versatile, you’ll be coming across them
more than once as you peruse the list.
Simon also has the entertainment
lined up. The stage lights up at noon
with singer-songwriter sister duo,
Missy and Chelsea Zenker. Zac Crook
comes on from 1 to 2 p.m. with voice
and guitar blues, folk and rock, followed by Archie Reno, singer and guitar player with folk, pop and rock from
2 to 3. Caine Vandermollen holds forth
from 3 to 4 with more of the same. At
4, Al Seymour comes on with his guitar
and adds blues to the mix until 5 p.m.
A festival regular, Frank Blisset,
along with Renee Dreiling and friends
launches an hour of open mic poetry
from 5 to 6. The all-woman all string
band, No
Strings
A t tached,
launches
the eveni n g
s h o w ,
playing
t h e i r
eclectic
musical
mix from 6 to 7 p.m. We’re still waiting for confirmation for the time slot
from 7 to 8 p.m., ending a full but
relaxing day of visual delights, fun,
food, and entertainment—outside on
the beautiful Sault Ste. Marie waterfront on a EUP summer day.
Some new artists you may want to
look up while you’re there
include photographer Ben
Musielak, a retired Sault firefighter with enough patience
to wait for spectacular skies
before snapping the shutter
on iconic EUP scenes. Captain William Palmer is carving again and will have a variety of work on display. Steve Panich has hand crafted
children’s activity boxes (at
left). Don Peterson uses local wood
to craft cutting boards, coasters and
checkerboards (top of next page).

and semiprecious stones.
If you’ve been missing Deb Nolan’s
innovative sweatshirts, you’ll be glad
to know she’s back. So is Wendy
Hunt with her beautiful blown glass
and silver jewelry. Moe Mousley
won’t be winning her usual ribbons
this year because we persuaded her
to take a break so she could be our
judge, but Jeanne Tubman and Dave
Bigelow are in the lineup. Blown
glass
artist
Craig
Weatherby (right) will be
here.
Note that there are many
attractions for children as
well—Our own hand-on
art tent (with Co-ed Flowers and Gifts donating balloons for the youngster
again), the library’s sidewalk chalk art and its graffiti contest for teens, doll clothes, toy boxes
and more. You’ll probably see a lot
of youngsters with a balloon in one
hand and a big bag of Kettle Corn in
the other. And they will have an
opportunity to talk to the artists.
It will be a full day of art, music and
fun and it’s all free! And should you
feel guilty about taking a day off—
you could finish your Christmas
shopping in one fell swoop! Think of
how smug you’ll feel, come November!
