Here's what you get: the circumstances and inspiration behind the recording of each of the group's 213 songs published between June 6, 1962, and May 8, 1970; commentary and reviews; a brilliant selection of photographs and other ephemera; plus, wonderfully, a brief forward by Patti Smith. [Tom Smart] and [Christopher Pratt] became acquainted in the 1990s when Smart was curator of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, N.B. The book features 140 works by the Newfoundland artist, with text by Smart charting the evolution of the artist, beginning in the 1950s. It is regarded as the most comprehensive look at the art and career of the 79-year-old artist produced thus far.

Actors Tom Smart and Mairtin O'Carrigan were brilliant as they told the story of Solicitor Mr. Kipp's terrifying experience at an eerie house in an eerie British town. Theatre Collingwood's Woman in Black was an exquisite experience and O'Carrigan and Smart deserved multiple standing ovations for their equally wonderful performances.

The recreational property will be part of a 208-hectare \"urban reserve,\" lands marking the \"ultimate urban boundary for Smithville,\" said consultant Tom Smart of BLS Planning. \"Personally, I want it all,\" said Mayor Katie Trombetta. \"But if we go for it all, to risk losing it all? I have to be realistic. If it doesn't go our way, we'll have to put our heads together and plan our next action.\" \"Logic to me is taking care of a community's needs,\" added [Bernie Hermsen]. \"It's a principle of planning.\"

\"It doesn't bother me. If that's what they (art critics) want to write about, that's fine. I still go ahead and do my own thing,\" said [Odjig], whose exhibit at the Kleinburg gallery is on display until Jan. 4. With no formal training - \"I never went to art school\" - Odjig said she has gotten her inspiration over the many decades from visiting art galleries, from people she's met, from omnipresent nature and from extensive travel. \"All artists should travel. I love being with people and I love the environment. You draw your inspiration from anything, from everywhere, from many people,\" she said. \"I love birds. I love my swallows. In the summertime, I don't paint, I'm too busy learning about nature, all about nature. I'm feeding my birds,\" Odjig said.

Ugly - estate agents prefer \"quirky\" or \"unusual\" - is rarely terminal. In some cases, simply ignore the bricks and mortar because what you are buying could be a building plot. Providing the planners agree, you may be able to erase the existing blot from the landscape and replace it with a home that is easier on the eye. You may at least be able to convert, alter or extend a home so, again, the look of a place can be improved and its value hugely increased. \"In truth, it's almost priced purely on its land value,\" admits John Keeble at John D Wood & Co (01932 864252). A covenant restricting its size has been lifted, which would enable the buyer to knock it down and start again or add another storey. \"Just eight miles away in Cobham, building land is pounds 2 million an acre so pounds 1.25 millon is reasonable when you consider that you might replace it with a house that could make it worth pounds 2.25 million.\" \"The crux is that you'd never get permission to build anything like it from scratch up here,\" says Ian Cox, of Dacre, Son and Hartley (01943 463 321). \"It was a functional building but you must get into the mind-set of imagining it as an astonishing home.\" So given the potential, how did he come up with such a skinny valuation? \"I looked at it as if it was a potential barn conversion ... and it's priced to sell. You could spend a similar figure again and see it worth pounds 700,000.\"

  \"It has been a devastating time for the whole family,\" she said. \"[Tom Smart] was a true gentleman. You simply do not get many people like him. He would be on hand to help out anyone and always had time for people. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.\" Ivy said: \"My fondest memory of Tom was when he returned home from the war and saw his daughter for the first time.\" During his early years, Tom used to drive a Guy lorry, which had a cast of an Indian chief's head as its trademark. When the lorry was eventually scrapped, Tom retrieved the mascot and attached it to other vehicles he drove throughout his life. It will be buried with him tomorrow.

He saw 13 kids he'd never seen before Friday. He had no idea the extent of their tooth problems. His first group just needed sealants and cleaning, nothing too time-consuming. But [Tom Smart] worked for 45 minutes on [Brandon], filled two of his eight cavities and stopped because his window of opportunity was closing. Brandon was a model patient, but the little-boy wiggles had begun taking over his body. Smart suggested [Jane] limit Brandon's sweets and give him fluoride, which Smart is certain would prevent many tooth problems in children. Smart didn't refer Brandon for more care, understanding his family's financial struggles. But he told Jane her boy needs more tooth repair. She said she'll have to wait until Dirne adds dentists or for Give Kids a Smile Day next year.

Alex Colville: Return (Douglas & McIntyre, 144 pages, $55), by contemporary-art expert Tom Smart, presents the work the Nova Scotia magic-realist painter has produced in the last 10 years. It still bears the imprint of his experiences as a war artist during the Second World War, says Smart. Colville's 1995 painting Coyote and Alders appears in a chapter called \"Doubling.\" Smart says the painter often gives the people in his pictures a double, or Doppelganger -- often a dog or other animal. You see this even more clearly in Dog in Car (1999), where the female driver has her back turned but the profile of the backseat dog is achingly sharp. Besides doubling, the other themes Smart finds in Colville's recent work are ordering, longing and mortality. Quick! Name half a dozen of the architects who designed B.C.'s best-looking buildings in the early years. If the only ones you can think of are Francis Rattenbury and Samuel Maclure, you need help. Enter Building the West: Early Architects of British Columbia (Talonbooks, 560 pages, $60), a handsome book that took Donald Luxton and 57 helpers 11 years to research and write. You'll meet John James Honeyman (1864-1934) and George Dillon Curtis (1868- 1940), whose projects included Shaughessy Heights United Church and a West End firehall which, at the time of its construction in 1907- 09, was the \"only fire hall in the world completely equipped with Auto Engines.\" There's Thomas Hooper (1857-1935), who left Manitoba for B.C. in 1886, walking the last 800 kilometres. Arriving just a month after Vancouver's Great Fire, he got to work designing such buildings as the Homer Street Methodist Church. Later in his career, the Hycroft mansion and Victoria's E.A. Morris tobacco shop sprang from his drawing board. For anyone who cares about the built environment, this book is a treasury -- and a treasure.

Tom Smart claims that one of his reasons for helping author what he and Lee Benson believes is \"Pulitzer\" material was to assist law enforcement in future kidnap cases. Hogwash! It was to make money and be famous again for 15 minutes.

The irony of Tom Smart's promised donation of half the proceeds he earns from the book \"In Plain Sight -- The Startling Truth Behind the Elizabeth Smart Investigation\" to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (and the Rape Crisis Center) would be...
