By Sheila McBrayne If you love art and history and have a little knowledge about the War of 1812 and the Amherstburg area, you could be on your way to finding the Golden Key and $10,000! Two Essex County authors and artists have compiled a book/treasure map filled with clues leading to a real treasure. In Pursuit of the Golden Key is a collection of 32 paintings by author/artist Dennis White and artist Stephen Gibb. These encrypted art pieces are the heart of the real-life treasure hunt book, which commemorates the bicentennial of the War of 1812. Through verse and illustrations, the readers are invited to come along on a journey into this war and decipher the clues, which lead to a modern day treasure of $10,000. The book is $30 (tax included) available locally exclusively at the Leamington Arts Centre. In fact, the Leamington Arts Centre will be one of several galleries to host the 32 original 2’ x 2’ paintings from the book. “I have a very significant show that I just secured for later this season. The show is titled In Pursuit of the Golden Key. There is a lot more to this than just an art show. There are books that go along with it that will be sold at the Arts Centre and all the books are the artwork depict a treasure hunt based on the history of the war of 1812,” said Leamington Arts Centre Gallery Director Chad Riley. The exhibit is scheduled to be in town in August. “The story is ficticious, but is based on facts,” said White. It’s a love story of a young soldier and a Shawnee girl named Leotie who are separated by war. The story spans two centuries to an old widow who discovers a treasure, which Thomas had intended for Leotie. “Through painting, poetry, riddles and quotes are the clues that lead to the Golden Key,” said White. “It’s a beautiful way to get an education. We wanted to educate people about the War of 1812, so by adding artwork we may attract more people,” said White. The key has been placed in a spot known only to the widow, the author and one other individual. Just remember, the key is not buried in the ground. Just solve the riddles and follow the clues, and the treasure can be easily found. For collectors there are 500 Collector Copies, which include authenticity documentation as well as being signed by the widow. The first printing of the regular book has 4,500 copies in circulation. The book/treasure hunt began on March 3. “It’s solvable, but it’s not an easy project,” said White. The first person to correctly solve the puzzle will receive the Golden Key that will open a treasure worth over $10,000 CAD. If you think you have solved the puzzle YOU MUST go to the website to log in your answer. Emails are electronically timed and dated, so your entry is

chronologically logged in sequence. When the first person correctly solves the answer to the whereabouts of the Golden Key Document, the winner will be announced as soon as possible. Watch for the upcoming exhibition at the Leamington Arts Centre and a special reception and book signing planned during the August show. For more information go to http://whitegibberish.com/
