The Port Perry artist is raf- fling off one of his bronzed sculptures to raise money for the fund. The piece, entitled Fully In- volved, is a sculpture of a fire- man who has just rescued a girl from a blaze. A fireman himself -- he works for the Scarborough Fire De- partment and is a member of its rescue team -- Mr. Briley chose the title Fully Involved for two reasons. The term refers to a fire which is totally engulfing a building. It also refers to the dedica- tion firemen display on the job, he says. Raffle tickets for the sculp- ture are $5 each and can be pur- chased at the Port Perry Star, Nuts About Chocolate, the Framer's Gallery, Irwin Smith Music Ltd., Stedmans, Pete's Pet Pantry, the XL Gas Station, the Scugog Memorial Public Li- brary or from Mr. Briley. He is also notifying area fire departments in hopes of selling tickets to the firemen. The winning ticket will be drawn on Saturday, August 31 at the Port Perry Fair. Mr. Briley says he and his wife moved to Port Perry three years ago for reasons similar to those of Kaitlin's parents Dave and Dawn Wilson -- to give their children a better commu- nity life. "Ever since we've moved in, Port Perry has felt like home," Mr. Briley says. He says he is impressed with how the community rallied be- hind the Wilsons. "It restores your faith in hu- manity," he says. Organizers are now talking about setting up a permanent fund to be used when other peo- ple in the community are in need of a financial boost. Mr. Briley says if that hap- pens, he would raffle one sculp- ture a year for the fund. "It would add to the better- ment of the community as a whole," he says. This outlook on life has won Mr. Briley the top prize in the sculpture category at a recent juried art show in Oshawa. The abstract piece he entered in the show depicts "the con- trast in man himself," Mr. Bri- 0 aid Kaitlin eR Tyler Briley is raffling off one of his bronzed sculptures to raise money for the Kaitlin Fund. A chance to win the sculp- ture (pictured above) costs only $5. See story for details. ley says. "Some people dedicate their entire lives to helping others," he says, adding that the flip side of the sculpture depicts the "total creeps like Saddam" who don't. The judges were so taken with the abstract sculpture and its meaning, they awarded it top prize. One judge commented that Mr. Briley may be the next Ro- dan. Modestly calling it "one man's opinion," Mr. Briley says "in all fairness, there wasn't a whole lot of sculpture in the show." His work has caught the eye of the international art world. His name is being added to the Compendium of Canadian Artists -- a directory of all the top national artists. June 25.

Several items were raffled off and enough money was raised to purchase three bedroom sets, Cheryl Hill of Frank Real Estate told the Star. Employees of Frank Real Estate in Port Perry (Mrs. Tay- lor's place of employment) have set up a fundraising drive. Anyone wishing to donate may do so at the real estate office, located at 1888 Scugog Street. A miscellaneous shower of new and used items has been planned for Sunday, July 21 at the Kinsmen Hall on Simcoe Street. The shower will run between 2-5 p.m. Anyone who wishes to give a gift but is unable to attend, can drop the gift off at Frank Real Estate. A raffle will be held at the shower as well. Up for grabs are four tickets to a Blue Jays game donated by Dowson's Valu- Mart, and airfare for two donated by Pete's Pet Pantry. n in banks are also setting up donation containers at the anks. This accomplishment is only made possible if the artist re- ceives the signatures of three prominent people in the art community. A woman at the National War Museum in Ottawa was the first to suggest that Mr. Bri- ley's name be added to the Com- pendium. She 'was impressed with the bronzed sculpture of a First World War cavalry officer on horseback Mr. Briley made. The war museum purchased the piece in April, and paid Mr. Briley the largest amount the museum has ever spent on a piece of art by any living Cana- dian. Another one of his sculptures which has received internation- al acclaimisofalarge eagle. Mr. Briley was commissioned to do the piece for the Corvette Challenge in 1989. The eagle, perched on a gran- ite pedestal, was to be "like the Stanley Cup of Corvette racing" throughout the challenge's his- tory. But the race was cancelled af- ter the 1989 event. The sculpture will soon take up residence at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ohio. Mr. Briley was on hand to present the eagle to the first and only winner after the 1989 race in Florida. While there, he met John Payson whom he describes as a "big time international art dealer." Mr. Briley is now working on a collection of about 12 pieces for Mr. Payson who plans to dis- play the work in art galleries in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, New York and other locations around the world. In the future, the self-taught artist hopes to make his hobby a full-time profession.
