Slowly you drift off and begin to fantasize about just how this adorable wrinkled up little red creature is going to make it to the top someday. You can see him being raised with all the proper “values and morals” and he will be a very respectable man. Now before long your bouncing pride and joy is starting to walk or at least blunder a great deal into things. Your heart sings in pure joy and excitement when he udders the golden words “MAMMA or DADDA”. This of course is after hours of calling yourself one of the two. Then no ‘one believes you and says it was only gas. (The ’ greatest: excuse for other parents to use because your child is so far advanced)! Each day a new word is added to this thrilling vocabulary (which only you can understand). If someone questions what your angel is saying, they must be deaf. As time progresses we enter the REBELLIOUS stage, which is just so adorable - to you. You half smile and say, “He’s forming his own personality, his own identity.” Or so you tell people he is terrorizing. But the exact fact of it is that he is being a real hellion who is seeing how close to a nervous breakdown he can push everyone. Now in alot @f cases, including my own, the second child enters the picture. There you go again fantasizing about this well - lets face it, homely little man. But you can see all the achievements he will make in life. Then you are released from hospital and reality hits home and boy does it hit hard. The terrible two’s have struck! Things you would have had trouble destroy- ing have been totally dismantled. If you chance leaving the kitchen for longer than a minute, upon return you find him answering, “I make me picoo and ave sanwich,” or “Kitty hungy so I give him eggs, O.K.?” By this time you have been asked “Why” to the point you start dreaming about that word and others, not pleasant ones either. You start catching yourself saying it to your friends, your spouse is getting grey hair, your family avoids answering their phones, but don’t CAMERAS FILM PROCESSING SOUVENIRS TOOLS GIFT IDEAS RECORDS & TAPES VIDEO RENTALS And you will find you did not know me at all!

You will survive being the human teething ring, play toy, guinea pig and all around our children make us happy or we make you miserable. Now while your precious little baby boys are peacefully sleeping and you have reconstructed your house and if you are lucky - your sanity, you will begin once again to fantasize and you'll know (or at least you hope) they’ll grow up’fine. Soon your baby boys will be “Macho Men” and then my friend you just may lose your mind! — : WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? by Lorraine Lanteigne Who do you see when you look at me? Can you capture my essence with The shutter-quick-blink of a camera’s eye, Catching the surface image reflected Back to your passing conscience? Who do you think I am, can you know? Ts it the chameleon that you envision Seeking safety within the gnarled branches Of the tree of life, grown twisted with experience Hiding, hoping te remain invisible to the forest predators, Who do you think you are with your assumptions? Have you ever thought to ask of me the questions And be strong enough to hear my answers? Why do you seek refuge in the blind flight Of a bat lost in the light without sonar? Tam here. Iam real and I am part of you. Turn away if you wish, choose not to see It is the easier of the paths you might travel.

The following profile of the artist was sent to us us by Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Richard Reid is a painter born in Regina and now living at Christina Lake, B.C. He earned a B.F.A. at the University of Manitoba in 1955 and has since painted and exhibited his work in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Scotland and England. He taught as an Assistant Professor in the Fine Arts Department at U.B.C. from 1971-1979. Richard says his work “has undergone a slow and steady evolution with the human figure and/or landscape as its base. I work with paint; colour, shape, surface and texture become the means of making paint ‘look right’ or ‘look good’. This is the notion of an aesthetic that is fundamental to art. Many of my paintings appear to be very simple and gestural in nature. The marks and colours are very swiftly applied, even though they may be care- fully considered. The intent or One is that the marks have a vitality and visual excitement.” Richard has won two Canada Council Awards. He has also served as a juror for the B.C. Festival of the Arts, the Kootenay/Boundary Annual Regional Exhibition and the annual Juried Exhibition of the Nicola Valley Arts Council. He has served as Director of the Grand Forks Art Gallery since 1984.
