First talk about the brief reunion series, four nights in a yet undecided venue in the Toronto area, came up six months ago when other original members of the veteran Winnipeg rock band, Randy Bachman, Jim Kale and Garry Peterson, approached Cummings.But it wasn’t until months later, around Christmas, that the discussion actually took on a serious note."We all sat down in the same room for the first time in 12 years and felt out each others' viewpoints on the whole thing," Cummings said."We got along well — that was the original thing, breaking the readteroteee g one another for so long and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun."It's not something I thought about a lot over the years — that's yesterday and now is now.But then when we all sat down and started using the old nicknames from years ago, remembering stories and incidents that went down, it became kind of interesting.And I thought, it's not going to kill me for a few nights." LIVE ALBUM PLANNED Initial plans, to be announced today at a news conference, call for four nights of concerts in late June.They will be taped for a live album and videotaped for pay TV and a U S.cable network.The Guess Who soared to international prominence in 1965 with the song These Eyes.The band became Canada's first autonomous, self-sustaining supergroup on a worldwide basis, and followed their initial success with scores of other Top to tunes.But the band also underwent numerous personnel changes, marked, among other things, by a much reported rift between Bachman and Cummings, long since patched up.They finally packed it in eight years ago Several years ago Bachman and Peterson appeared on a Cummings TV special, "bul it was mainly for the visual effect — we didn't really rehearse all that much,” Cummings said."This’ll be a lot more serious.” NO.1.2.3.4.5.(i.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34 35.36 37.38.39.40.OO TITLE Billy Jean It's Raining Men You Are Back on the Chain Gang You Dropped a Bomb One on One Mr.Roboto She Blinded Me 1999 Last Night a D.J.Stray Cat Strut Separate Ways We’ve Got Tonight Allentown Can’t Take My Eyes off You ET Everytime I See Your Picture Cuts Like a Knife Hungry lake The Wolf Do A'on Really Want to Hurt Me Silhouettes All Right Fall in Love With Me Jeopardy Shame on the Moon Sounds in the Night Let’s Dance The Woman In M* Diehard Lover Whirly Girl I’ve Got a Rock & Roll Heart Shy Boy My Kind of Lady Human Race Beat It Take the Short Way Home Knocking Down Love Little Red Corvette Nice Girl Always Something There ARTIST Michael Jackson Weather Girls Lionel Ritchie Pretenders Gap Band Hall & Oates Styx Thomas Dolby Prince In Deep Stray Cats Journey Rogers-Easton Billy Joel Boystown Gang Little Dabs Luba Bryan Adams Dtiran-Duran Culture Club Nylons Christopher Cross Earth Wind & Fire Greg Kiln Band Bob Seger Geraldine Cordeau David Bowie Donna Summer Loverde Oxo Eric Clapton Bananarama Supertramp Red Rider Michael Jackson Dionne Warwick Goldie Alexander Prince Melissa Manchester Naked Eyes ,AST WEEKS EEK ON 1 9 2 9 4 10 8 9 10 6 12 8 15 7 16 5 9 10 18 5 3 12 14 7 17 6 7 13 21 6 5 11 19 8 20 6 23 4 11 13 26 5 13 10 27 4 38 3 6 13 33 3 37 2 30 4 25 10 38 1 32 4 PL L 35 3 36 3 39 2 PL 1 40 2 PL 1 PL 1 PL 1 Controversial Bruce Allen has changed his tune TORONTO ( CP ) - Hardly a stranger to controversy, Bruce Allen was once bounced from the board of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences because of his outspokenness.This year he's back with CARAS, but he's changed his tune: Now he sings praise for both the academy and the Juno Awards, which it administers.Allen, one of Canada's foremost, and loudest, talent managers in con temporary music — his ranks have included Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Powder Blues and.currently, such hot acts as Loverboy, Bryan Adams and Red Rider isn’t shy about admitting that he, like the media and public in general, has been scathingly vocal about the Junes and their short comings."I used to be like everybody else in Canada and knock them, even when I was winning them,” the Vancouver-based Allen said in an interview."Canadians are bad about knocking their own product, their own artists, their own events.I was winning a lot of American awards and maybe my views were clouded by the big international success that Bachman-Turner Overdrive was having (in the early ’70s).1 guess 1 looked down on the Junos as being small time BEST WE’VE GOT' “But looking back on it I've realized over the years that this is the best we’ve got — the only thing we've got — and we have to support it." Which is why Allen, on behalf of CARAS, has been talking lo the entertainment media for the last few weeks lo drum up interest in this year's Juno Awards, to be presented tonight in a televised broadcast from Toronto.And why, also, he levied a scathing attack at Anne Murray several weeks ago Murray, a perennial Juno winner, lias been absent from the proceedings for the last three years and will not be present tonight.Some industry observers feel Rial as a CARAS board member, Allen had no right to make negative comments about a nominated artist — comments which, conceivably, could sway voting by academy members.But Allen is unrepentent."1 think she’s won about 20 Junos and it’s time she came out again and said thank you," he argued.“Just her being there would add lo the lustre of the show.“These shows seem lo be rated on the glitterati who show up it’s for (he star-gazers.And until such people do show up, the Junos will continue lo be relegated to a second-class production." HAVE POTENTIAL Allen insists the Junos have every bit the potential of their U.S.counterparts, but he also feels the CARAS ceremonies are "hamstrung" by Ihe fact thaï CBC has always produced (he show “It hasn’t improved as much as it should have from year lo year, but I think that’s because of the restraints the CBC has put on it budget-wise.Plus, a lot of contemporary rock acts are very paranoid about playing there because they don’t think the CBC producers understand the rock ’n' roll business.” TOWNSHIPS WEKK—FHID.W, VI’HII.S.l!iS.V-:t Rabbit is Rich completes Updike’s fascinating trilogy Rabbit Is Rich by John Updike (FAWCETT-CREST): $4.75.437 pp.Available in paperback after copping three major American book awards, including the Pulitzer.John Updike’s Rabbit Is Rich is the third installment in the life of Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, What now comprises a trilogy, dense with the textures of America in the second half of the twentieth century began with Rabbit, Run in 1960, continued with Rabbit Redux in 1971, and currently Updike's complex hero finds himself having achieved the American Dream at the dawn of the 1980 s in Rabbit Is Rich.The wealth alluded to in the title comes from Rabbit’s wife's family business — Springer Motors has caught the new technolo- Kaleidos cope By RICHAR D LONEY' gy with a Toyota dealership that Nelson, whohas been away at col- has finally propelled Harry and lege.his wife Janice into the tennis/ Nelson returns to the city of golf country club set.with all of Brewer.Pennsylvania.Updike's the attendant foi fc» les — racy scarcely disguised rendering of friends, additional social angst, Reading, after an unsuccessful and marital jeopardy .But the fo- sojourn at Kent State University eus of Rabbit Is Ft.meh is not so in Ohio.He brings with him the much the fascination with Harry vivacious Melanie, who promptly Angstrom and his personality begins an affair writh Harry's as- that is maddeningly lovable and sistant at Springer Motors, detestable, but the second gene- Charlie Stavros.a forty-ish ration Angstrom.Ftabbit's son Greek who once had an affair with Janice, but for whom Harry through the years, they would now holds a genuine affection.scarcely have attracted the criti Melanie, it turns out.is merely a cal acclaim that has made author friend of Nelson's and his real ro Updike one of the venerated fi manee.Teresa, nicknamed guros in American letters “Pru ", descends on Brewer in a Indeed, the Angstrom trilogy, decidedly pregnant state with especially Rabbit Is Rich, m plans to marry the flighty Nelson brates with the sounds and pulses Rabbit Angstrom.Updike's ro of America the current book is presentative American, has not alive with the social currents and exhausted the range of possibili trends in America that should ties his author obviously feels he guarantee that readers of Updike can sustain, even into this third m decades far removed from fascinating novel.The books these past three will catch the fla have viewed Rabbit in his twen vour of being alive circa 1950-1980 ties, thirties, and now in his for just by scanning the pages of the ties, with mid-life crises at his Angstrom chronicles Rabbit Is back;

Golden California—a wine for all seasons At the risk of being boring — at the very least somewhat repetitive — I’m going to talk about one more book on wine that I am sure keen students will want to obtain.The book in question is The Pocket Encyclopedia of California Wines by Hob Thompson.Following the tremendous success of his Pocket Encyclopedia of Wine, author and wine expert Hugh .Johnson was asked to produce a second volume dealing only with the wines of California.To his credit, Johnson pointed out that because he was an Englishman and by far more familiar with European wines he was hardly the right person to attempt such a task.In his stead he proposed that those interested in producing the volume should contact Wine Bits BY TIM BELFORD Bob Thompson, a resident of the Napa valley who has kept ‘a cool appraising eye on the frenetic Californian wine scene since many of its present protagonists were under age for tasting." Johnson’s choice seems to have been ideal since Thompson, using the same basic style as his mentor, has produced the first detailed yet simple guide to Californian wines that I have yet come across.The slim volume, which fits a pocket or purse perfectly, is divided into several distinct sections begining with an overall look at Californian wines — their history, grape types, labelling procedures, climatic distinctions etc.This is followed by an alphabetical listing of major vineyard names, bottlers, grape types, region names and so on.The final section of the book contains a series of maps of the major regions and notes on combining wine with food.The alphabetical or encyclopedic section of the book contains a wealth of information which includes wine names as well as designations indicating whether the wine produced is swreet or dry, red or white, fortified or table.There is also an indication of the level of quality of the wine (ranging from one to four stars) and whether or not it is a good buy in its category.For those who are really keen and intend to travel in the United States long enough to do some ‘comparison’ drinking, the book contains a reasonably up to date vintage chart for the major varietals that have given California a justly deserved reputation throughout the wine world.Thompson’s encyclopedia is full of sound advice and necessary information and with any luck he will expand it into a detailed atlas-type work on Californian wines a la Johson’s World Atlas of Wines.Here’s hoping.Cheers! THE POCKET ENOCLOPEDIAOf romia \ties BOB THOMPSON Zeffirelli’s La Traviata will kick off 1983 Film Festival MONTREALirF) With a master stroke that should please both opera and movie buffs, Serge Losique has secured the Canadian premiere of Italian director Franco Zeffirelli’s acclaimed movie version of Verdi’s La Traviata as a fundraiser for the 1983 World Film Festival.Losique, the Montreal film festival’s flamboyant founder-director, announced Wednesday that La Traviata will be presented May 2 in the 1,300-seat Maisonneuve theatre of Place des Arts with Zeffirelli likely in attendance “It’s an extraordinary film, it will make you cry,” raved Losique, who saw the movie in Paris last month.Based on La Dame aux camélias, by Alexandre Dumas, the opera-movie stars Canadian soprano Teresa Stratas and Spanish tenor Placido Domingo as the doomed lovers Violetta and Alfredo with musical direction provided by James Levine of New York’s Metropolitan Opera Zeffirelli’s third opera film — he also brought Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci to the screen incorporates occasional exterior shots and voice-over singing to give the three act opera a cinematic quality.Zefferelli created the sets for the movie and the 450 costumes by-Piero Tosi have been described as "an orgy of lush fabrics.’’ Tickets will be available to the public at $20 and $30 for balcony and orchestra seats, with four hundred “choice orchestra seats” reserved for patrons paying $100.R AISED $40,000 Last year, the festival’s fund-raiser was Quest for Fire, the Canada-France co-p reduction about prehistoric man.with all tickets selling for Artist’s latest project will cover 20 city blocks VANCOUVER (CP) Apiece of art covering 129 hectares of Alberta ranch land has been announced by Vancouver artist Alan Wood Wood and several assistants will start the $500,000 project in late May on a half-section of borrowed private land about the area of 20 square city blocks 30 kilometres from Calgary, By the end of July they hope to have used up their art supplies 4 50,000 board feet of lumber, 60,000 square metres of canvas and 4,500 litres of paint.Funding has come from corporate and private sources, says Wood’s agent Sam Houston, who would not divulge any names.The environmental art project, called Ranch, is the culmination of plans Wood has developed since he came to Canada from England nine years ago Wood says the mockups, facades and abstractions of ranch architecture would ideally be seen from horseback There will be three main elements, he says."The linear, with such things as fences, ranch architecture (barns, gates, corrals, chutes); and 12 tableaux, led to by the fences and each with a theme, usually ranch related or from a caprice of my own." TRIBUTE TO CHEATS Some of these caprices include tributes to Monet, Seurat, Van Gogh and other heroes of Woods, an “artists' wall” with niches containing works by specially commissioned Canadian and international artists, and "Monet haystacks,” to be lighted by a mobile generator.The pieces are being prefabricated in Wood's large but already inadequate warehouse in the Vancouver suburb of Bur naby and will be taken to the site and assembled according to a numbered and coded blueprint.The central contraption in Wood's warehouse is of his own device a power feeder that in three hours can ingest 1 .GOO board feet of wood, wrap it in canvas from a spindle, paint it from automatic paint rollers, and dry it in the furnace."People say, why not just paint on wood?But I'm a painter, 1 keep stressing that, and wrapped lumber is not far from the traditional painter's concern of canvas stretched on wood."Painting on canvassed wood allows me a range of textures and applications, from a thin wash to a heavy impasto." Wood, 47, could pass for a cowboy in his insulated vest, boots and four-wheel drive truck, though he says Alberta ranchers have called him a dude.His abiding fascination with ranch architecture, which Wood calls "as important to the West as the Georgian or Elizabethan forms are to England." began in his chemical-industrial home town of W'idnes.Lancashire.The cowboy movies at the local cinema impressed him with vistas of space, mesas, plains, color and above all, the "strong architectural forms — the gates, chutes, split-rail fences, barns, beams and water troughs — that I fell in love with."

With so many people taking advantage of eating away from home and hearth it is not surprising that Quebec has a corresponding number of eateries.Not only do we have more fast food outlets per capita than anyone outside of California, we also boast a variety of international cuisines seldom found anywhere else in the world.In Quebec, particularly in the metropolitan areas, one can find food from Viet Nam.Italy, Greece, Portugal.China, England, France, Poland and India to name but a few.The problem therefore becomes one of matching taste with quality and cost.Anyone who eats out regularly knows the feeling of having paid an atrocious price for a mediocre meal.Hopefully they have also experienced receiving their money's worth.The trick seems to lie in expectations.If you want a gourme* meal you don’t go to a hotdog stand.At the same time if you get a good hotdog at that same stand for a reasonable price you can be satisfied.Probably the farthest thing from a hotdog stand in the province of Quebec, and a perfect example of receiving quality for cash, is Les Halles restaurant of Montreal.Located in a converted house on Crescent Street, Les Halles has been serving up fantastic meals a la Paris at its best for several years now and has earned itself the reputation of being one of the finest and possibly the most expensive restaurants in Montreal.Wanting to ensure that my readers were aware of Les Halles, 1 sacrificed an evening recently to test its reputation for the first time in several years and I came away, to say the least, satisfied.Les Halles features a comprehensive menu which includes hot and cold appetizers, assorted salads and a selection of meat and sea food dishes that nicely covers the spectrum of fine dining.Its real strength however, resides in the numerous daily specials that the waiters — some of the finest I have ever witnessed in action — are only to pleased to recite.For our part, my companion and I chose to take the ’Boss’ Sur-prise’ — whereby the boss chooses your meal for you from a selection seemingly a mile long.While we waited I had a glass of dry sherry which arrived chilled — unlike the normal and irritating habit of most North American restaurants which tend to serve it far too warm.A good omen.For our first' appetizer, the boss produced a delicate pastry shell stuffed with baby scallops in the smoothest of butter sauces for me and a filet of turbot poached in a vegetable stock for my friend.Both were delicious.A ’second’ appetizer then appeared consisting of slices of duck done in a current and pepper sauce for my guest and another pastry shell for me.This time the shell was lined with baked apple and stuffed with mouth-watering quail legs done in a brown sauce.Time for a break and a palatecleansing sorbet made with a prune-flavoured eau de vie.The sorbet was delicious and allowed not only a refreshing of the taste buds but time to reflect on the exquisite taste of the appetizers.It also allowed time to observe the waiters carrying out their duties in the crowded restaurant.Poetry.or perhaps rather efficiency, in motion.The final course consisted of tiny lamb chops for my companion and eight small filet of roast lamb for myself.Since the wine I had chosen was a vintage 1970 Chateau Meyney from Medoc, the boss couldn't have chosen better.All this came with perfectly cooked vegetables, homemade bread and a large dollop of courtesy and care from our waiters.Dessert consisted of a variety of sinful looking tortes, pies and cakes with a cheese plate and brandy.I W'on’t mention how much it cost but it was worth every bit of March’s pay.Les Halles isn’t an ordinary restaurant.From its salads to its service and yes, to its prices, it is possibly Montreal’s finest attraction. TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, APRIL S, 1983—7 Former mayor O’Bready may sue for pain and suffering Well if this item ain't queer.I am! Seems like the $50,000-range salary the city of Sherbrooke paid Jacques O'Bready for the years he was mayor didn't count for much — in the learned fellow’s owm troubled mind, at least.Neither did all the trips to Europe and other far-away places (further than, say.Magog) he got on his expense account, I guess.But they must have counted for an awful lot in the minds of Sherbrooke's voters because those wise folks gave Black Jack the big one-w’ay boot at re-election time last November.Anyway.Black Jack felt so bad when he was suddenly unemployed that he went to see a friendly MD.who gave him a note to take to the city treasury.Said he wras in rough shape and needed some time off to ‘rest completely" and recover his (don’t say that, you’ll lose the lawsuit).ah.marbles.Of course, unemployment insurance doesn’t pay enough to recover your-.marbles, so Jack had to find another sponsor for his R&R.Who did he turn too?No, not workmen’s compensation, that wouldn’t be quite right in the circumstances.would it?After all.he was mayor; nobody said he had a real job.He filled out all the proper forms, cast his humility aside and asked the city to give him $1900 out of petty cash for two w'eeks pain and suffering, based I presume on his salary at $950 per seven days.Work that out, you nine-to-fivers.O'Bready wouldn't talk much to reporters, saying that it was a ‘completely personal" matter.But he did admit that such a thing as losing a municipal election always causes “a nervous shock”.Well kiss my pain and suffering! The story has a happy ending; the city council that replaced him turned Black Jack down.But watch for the sequel in a column near you.He’s calling their bluff, he says he’s going to sue.Now don’t all you ladies out there jump at once but the other English-language daily in the province featured an advertisement this w7eek in the personal section looking for a single female between the ages of 30 and 40 who might want to go on a cruise of the Greek islands on a-90 foot yacht.Basic requirements are a love of ‘sports’, classical music and the adventurous life.A knowledge of Greek or Italian would also be an asset says the ad.In return the lucky miss will receive an all-expenses-paid holiday plus a trifling $2,000 a month.According to my editor, you could probably ask for four per cent vacation pay at the end of it all.Seriously though, anyone interested in the job who missed the ad, drop a self addressed envelope off at The Record care of Tadeusz Letarte, and I’ll see that you get the proper postal box number in Montreal.If you don’t get picked, I may even have a counter offer.My editor says he’s looking for someone to take on an all-expenses-paid trip to Abercorn — but if I

in the vertical hold bar at the lop of your TV screen.For most of us, seeing the thin black bar means we should adjust our sets.But for 200 households in Montreal and Toronto currently being equipped with special signal decoders, Ihe bar translates into 250 full screens of news, weather, sports, finance and consumer services.The clandestine broadcast is in fact part of the $5-million trial run for IRIS — the Information Relayed Instantly from the Source system, Canada's entry into the world of teletext, and a potential challenge to cable-distributed information in North America.Like existing cable networks.IRIS brings a variety of written and graphic information to individual television screens.But unlike cable, which continually scrolls its information across the screen on a separate TV channel, the teletext decoder allows subscribers access to any ‘‘page" of information any time.It also allows information to be “flashed” or captioned over regular network programs FAST-FOOD SERVICE*?“We like to think of the system as an information fast-food service,” says national IRIS co-ordinator Pierre Levesque.“Something w’hich will supplement newspapers and other news without replacing them." The data is assembled by staff called “pager-routers,” who edit information from news wires, weather offices, computer data banks and government services into screen-length items and add multicolored graphics.The IRIS signal is broadcast continuously on both English and French national TV networks, with the English service assembled in Toronto and the French in Montreal.A regional office in Calgary inserts local information into the English service.The IRIS system is to be officially launched in Ottawa next Tuesday by CBC president Pierre Juneau and Communications Minister Francis Fox.The CBC has been experimenting with broadcasting on the vertical blanking in terval (the black bar) since last September, and Levesque says the system developed is currently the most advanced in the world about eight months ahead of a similar system launched by CBS in the United States on Monday.MOVE TO STANDARD But IRIS, CBS’s Extravision and a third system to be launched this summer by NBC are all moving towards a North American teletext standard which has been accepted by the networks.Time Inc.and the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., Levesque says.Inslallalion of the decoders in the trial households in Montreal and Toronto will be completed by the end of April, and the formal trial will run until July.Decoders have also been installed in Calgary in 30 public areas, such as shopping malls, auditoriums and colleges.User reaction will then be evaluated, and Jecisions taken as to w'ho will finally operate IRIS — the CBC.private networks or perhaps cable companies.The IRIS trial run is financed under the Communications Department's Telidon program, and its coordinators and CBC staff are wary of suggestions the system will compete directly with cable, although they offer similar services.Cable and electronic information services operators point out the signal decoders are complex and could cost users between $1,000 and $2,000 when they finally come on the market.Their service, which will soon include sophisticated color graphics, comes standard as part of the cable subscription package Cable services in the U S.are themselves moving to videotext, a two way form of teletext which would offer subscribers such options as shopping and banking at home.CBS argues that teletext will be much cheaper to start up and operate than videotex!, and says its teletext service will be sup ported by advertising rather than monthly subscription.CBC spokesman Philippe Paquet says advertising is being considered for the Canadian teletext system, but agencies have so far only been “approached” about the idea.Advertising in Canada would likely take the form of a strip across the bottom of the teletext screen, rather than complete separate ^‘pages'' ol ads.^^iuLbecause the CBC woukT' first have to negotiate revenue distribution with its private affiliates, ad vertising will not likely be introduced during the trial runs.Paquet said. 8—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, APRIL 8,

TOWNSHIPS WEKK—FRIDAY.APKI1.S.1983—9 WHAT'S ON Robin Williams proves his ability as the title hero who just can’t seem to cope with life.Well worth seeing (see review elsewhere in this section).The Bishop's University Film Society intends to give us all a taste of culture when it presents The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Sunday evening at Centennial Theatre.This disgusting movie caters to the bloodlust in us and follows the adventures of a chainsaw operator who takes his work home with him —and out on everybody else.If you feel like wasting your money for the thrill of watching blood and gore, go ahead.BUFS will be blessing us with two showings of this celluloid garbage — at 6.30 and 8.30 p.m.— After the bedtime of anyone stupid enough to go see iUmy editor interjects here that you

the Pink Floyd movie all the hoppers got so excited about last summer and if you're a fan.1 suppose you might enjoy it.If not, don’t bother.It won't convert you.At the Newport Cinema something wishfully entitled The Last American Virgin is on the bill.I’d like to think that this was about volcanoes and strange religious practices but alas, it’s another one of those ’how do we lose it and aren’t we funny trying’ jobs.Might be good for a few chuckles — accidents do happen.Television First off.I'd like to hype the Vermont ETV annual auction which is today in the third day of its ten-day run.The folks down there are selling off a remarkable variety of goods and services to help raise money to keep the quality of television at the exceptionally high standards we re used to.Ten per cent of the station's funding comes from this effort and many Eastern-Townships merchants have donated things to help the cause.Anyone interested in donating to the auction should contact Sutton's Colin Fuller at (514) 538-2876 or in Montreal at 933-4201.It’s a very worthy cause.One way the importance of ETV broadcasts will be demonstrated is that from 6 p.m until midnight, during the auction, all the station's time will be dedicated to the funding effort.You'll get a chance to observe how boring the small screen can be when the regular fare isn't available.On Channel 12 tomorrow evening at 9, Altered States, one of those science-fiction fright movies, will be airing.It stars William Hurt as a scientist doing strange experi ments in altered states of consciousness.Better than average.but not great.On Sunday at 7 p.m., again on Channel 12.Elvis ‘now that I’m dead you'll never get rid of me' Presley is being exhumed again — this time in a 1981 feature film entitled This is Elvis.This requires the viewer to sit through even more film clips of concerts, home movies and all that other stuff nobody in their right mind cares about.I'd love to, but I have to sandblast my oven and fumigate my fridge.Monday night is Oscar night and we ll finally get the story on what the Academy of Motion Picturte Arts and Sciences thinks were the best efforts on film for 1982.My little nemesis E.T.— The Extra-terrestrial and Tootsie seem to be leading the pack, but one never does know who will be the final winner.Nobody in contention is in imme diate danger of dying, as far as I know, so there is still some mystery as to who the winners will be.Channel 12 will be broadcasting the exercise in self glorification beginning at 9 p.m.Finally, on Wednesday CBC’s The Fifth Estate will be featuring a look at a group of about 100 Canadian lawyers and accountants (sounds like a fun group) who are leading the search for seizable funds swindled from investors by the great Robert Vesco.who masterminded what is called the greatest white collar crime in history.Vesco is believed to have misappropriated $394 million during the mutual fund collapses of the 70s, and this team has been trying to recover the money for its original owners.Apparently they’ve had some luck but the hunt continues for the rest of it — and, of course for Vesco.As I indicated earlier, television without PBS is barely worth the effort, so check out that auction — there may be something you can use.and they can sure use the money.Th-that's all, folks.Radio Tonight s Nightfall at 7.30 on CBC Radio is Safe in the Arms of Jesus, by Martin Kineh.The show deals with a young boy's obsession with a television evangelist and the startling results it generates.The show is a paricularly The Beaulne Museum

with some of the Oscar nominees, indu ding Ben Kingsley and Richard Attenborough, (Gandhi), and Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie).1 wonder what these guys have to say about all this other than what a thrill it is to be nominated, and it doesn't really matter who wins and I'd like to thank my mother and the milkman and on and on At 11.35 a sure bet for a Saturday morning’s entertain ment is Frantic Times, starring those satirical whizzes The Frantiks These guys are nuts enough to keep things enough in perspective that you don’t go crazy — or if you do, you won’t mind quite so much.The show airs on CBC Radio.Tomorrow at 2 p.m.on both CBC Radio and CBC Stereo, The Metropolitan Opera presents The Barber of Seville Personally.I prefer the Bugs Bunny version, but the Met manages to pull off a reasonably good imitation.The music is by Rossini, which everybody knows is Elmer Fluid's nom de plume.At 7.05 on Saturday Stereo Theatre Roland Laroche recreates his stage role as Réal in Gaétan Charlebois' play Returning.Réal is the last of the holdouts against urban expansion and annexation.After having lived alone for two years, his son and daughter are returning home for a Christmas visit, and with a background of steadily encroa ching apartment blocks, the three attempt to rediscover a sense of family.Sunday is an interesting radio day, beginning at 3.05 on CBC Radio with Identities, featuring the Cajun music ol (Rieen Ida and the Bons Temps Zydeco Band This six piece ensemble plays the entire gamut of music from waltzes to folk to reggae to rock n' roll to jazz, and insi nuates the real bayou flavor to them all.Good listening.Immediately following at 4.05 Sunday Matinee presents Madwiteh, a play by Calgarian Paddy Campbell It's the story of an old Métis woman living on the edge of a

beating the drums for its sports coverage of the 1984 Olympics To ABC, the price is right.James E.Duffy, president of ABC, says the network wants to raise $625 million from advertisers for its coverage of the Summer Games in Los Angeles and the Winter Games in Yugoslavia.Already ABC has begun its programming countdown to the Olympics.This includes plans to televise events such as NCAA championships in June, the National Sports Festival this summer and the New York Marathon in October.Duffy predicts ABC’s telecast of the Summer Games from Los Angeles in 1984 will be the single greatest event undertaken in the history of broadcasting.He estimates that a record 170 million Americans will see some or all of ABC's coverage of the Summer Games.(By comparison, an estimated 140 million people recently watched some segment of "The Winds of War" miniseries — the most watched single program in American televison history ) "These Olympics are important to America," Duffy says "There is great pride here.I believe the Summer Games in Los Angeles next year will be the greatest Olympics ever.150 nations participating, mainland China competing for the first time, half the human race to see it on telelvison." Vows Duffy: "This is event television in its greatest form." Citing the prestige TV sponsors can gain from the Olympics, he explains: "There is identity with youth, with athletes, with the human drama of sports, with international understanding and competition.As a marketing vehicle, he says, "it is unbeatable." To some Olympic sponsors, ABC is offering "category exclusivity." The Coca-Cola Company has purchased the entire soft-drink category — $34.2 million for the Summer games and $6 8 for the Winter Olympics.And the fast-food category was bought by McDonald's for $30 million in the summer and nearly $6 million in the winter.Says Duffy: "What the promotions and commercials and sponsorship are doing is making the Olympics possible, expanding them, bringing them to everyone via the advertiser-supported system of television " At a price, of course.MURDER ME Stacy Keach stars as tough detective Mike Hammer, in Mickey Spillane’s "Murder Me, Murder You." The new TV-movie, based on Spillane's famous private eye, airs SATURDAY, APRIL 9 on "The CBS Saturday Night Movies."
