Mounted above the building entrance, the majestic bird is probably his biggest carving from a single slab of limestone, he says. "But artist Burton Callicott made the plaster for it. I just followed his model," Christie says.

And that's where the anonymity comes in. "We usually work with an artist or architect. We carry out their ideas. So you could say I'm a craftsman or a carver, but not a sculptor or artist," Christie says. Christie "retired" from stone-cutting in 1986 but still shows up most days at the company founded by his father, Alex Christie, in 1906 and now run by his son, Bond Christie, 37.

In the company's mill room, sanders and air hammers kick up a white haze of limestone dust as workmen shape columns, pilasters and carved stones with bev SANTA BARBARA Two' Central Coast students-, Laura Miller of Santa Maria and Kisha Walton of Santa Ynez, were chosen to attend the California State Summer School for the Arts at the recent reception hosted by the County of Santa Barbara Arts Fund. Of the 1,300 students who applied to CSSSA, five were chosen by a rigorous selection process from Santa Barbara County to attend one of the most prestigious high school arts programs in the nation. The Arts Fund Advisory Board member' and director of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Paul Perrot, awarded the five students, named as California Arts Scholars, with bronzed medallions at the reception held in Santa Barbara. The event was sponsored by The Arts Fund and by a grant from El Paso Natural Gas Company.

The artwork of the "visual art students was exhibited at the reception. Students at CSSSA will be encouraged to expand their talents as well as explore new ones. Many students who have attended the summer school CRAFT Stone carver By Michael Lollar Scripps Howard News Service MEMPHIS, Tenn. For Fred Christie the Stone Age never went away. For 60 of his 72 years Christie has hammered, chiseled and sanded slabs of limestone and marble, turning them into ingredients for some of the most well-known landmarks in the Mid-South.

"I have a friend who calls me Fred Flintstone," says Christie, a contractor and carver whose work, from private homes to the campus of Rhodes College, has been a curious mixture of artistry and anonymity. Most people who saw the old central police station downtown would not stop to study what, from a distance, looks like a plain white facade. Christie's company, Christie Cut Stone, painstakingly carved and "bush-hammered the Batesville, marble. Christie says bush hammers pitted the stone a square-inch at a time on the building's lower floors to give it a soft texture matching the older police station on Adams. GAMES: Appealing to children Continued from page B-1 "Rolo to the Rescue," for Genesis This is one of the cutest games we've ever seen.

eled and fluted edges. By midday, as the fine dust settles on hair, clothes, hands and faces, the workmen seem to have become walking statues. Fred Christie has lived and breathed the dust for 60 years. It now blends with his graying hair and emphasizes the chiseled face of a man whose works will remain long after he's gone. "If I didn't come here I think I'd be dead already," he says.

Intricately carved stonework has become rare. Fred Christie says there may be only one or two orders a year for finely detailed pieces. Most orders are for commercial and institutional work in the form of blocks or slabs. "They say one of mankind's instincts is to leave things on this Earth so they can say they were here," says Christie. "I don't expect people to take their hats off or salute, but just the idea that they're looking at it is like they're looking at old Fred." and a whole lot more." LOMPOC 304 W.
