A talented trio — three artists — one show Townships Week raue 5 I ridav, October 6, 1989 2—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1989 Robert Charlebois, 45 is making a comeback Winters of our Discontent.Part 2 MONTREAL (CP) — The face is a little craggier and the eyes don’t dance the way they once did.But the wit remains as wicked and self-depreciating as ever.“No question, this is the dawn of a new era for me,” rocker-crooner Robert Charlebois says, tongue in cheek.“I’ve said it before.But this is it.Really.” Charlebois, 45, is in the midst of another comeback.After five years of relative tranquillity, the entertainer who is still considered by Europeans to be the hippest Quebec cultural export begins the latest round in his love-hate relationship with his Quebec audience.After two weeks at a Montreal nightclub, Charlebois will take his act on the road through Quebec and other provinces for two months.He hopes to emerge in Europe in spring for a triumphant finale to the tour.There is one nagging question about this latest renaissance: which Charlebois will audiences see?Will it be the enfant terrible in the sequined Canadiens sweater who shocked audiences with hardhitting rock and political patter?Or the well-heeled lamb who found inspiration from Frank Sinatra and windsurfing?LOTS OF FUNK’ ture of all my material from the last 25 years — lots of funk, rock and tenderness,” he says, primping his still-long and curly locks backstage.Aging figures prominently in his conversations these days.He says he suffered from a rare affliction 15 years ago: “premature senility.” “I think I was the only person to suffer.What 1 did was to retire—in my mind.Maybe it was to counterbalance the punk movement.But I stopped dreaming, and that can kill a person faster than anything.“Now I need to work.It’s a luxury to be able to work.And as everyone knows, I love luxury.” Charlebois’s detractors know all too well about his love of luxury.In local francophone circles, he’s constantly chastised for having gone soft, for having forsaken the cause.When he makes one of his infrequent concert appearances, he’s often lambasted.His 19th album, Dense, was released last year to some scathing reviews.“It’s hard to figure why I get respect in the English or European-French media but not here.I really hope that jealousy is the reason French-Canadian critics are so mean to me.“They love an artist until he has achieved success outside the province.Then they think they’ve lost you and they begin to hate you.” By Bob Thomas LOS ANGELES (AP)— Perhaps inevitably, mo viedom's ubiquitous sequels have seeped into publishing, resulting in Shelley II: The Middle of my Century.It’s the follow-up to the steamy first installment of Shelley Winters’ autobiography, Shelley: Also Known as Shirley.Will there be a SheUey III?Not right away.It took her seven years to produce the second volume, which covers her life from 1954 to 1964.Shelley I became a best-seller, fuelled by the actress’s candid accounts of her affairs with Burt Lancaster, William Holden and other notables.“When critics reviewed it, they said I had written an insightful book about my life before, during and after the Second World War,” she declares in an author’s note to the sequel.“But whenever (Phil) Donahue or (Johnny) Carson interviewed me, all they wanted to talk about was my love affairs.” And so she designed Shelley II to be “ a little less specific,” but “with enough clues to stimulate your erotic imagination.” SEX CHAMPION’ Among the stars of the new book are her longtime friend and sometime lover, Sean Connery, and her erratic third husband, Tony Fran-ciosa (“If there had been an Olympic sex team that year, Tony would have been the champion”).The breathless Winters talked recently of literary and other matters during a stop at the Beverly Hills duplex she has owned for 36 years.(In the book, she laments the many houses she once owned or could have bought for a fraction of their current worth.) The success of Shelley I came as a surprise.“I thought it would be good therapy for me, and I didn’t take any money in advance for it,” she said.“You can either have your agony spread out, or make jokes about it.The tendency all through my life was to make jokes about it.I guess (the book) was pretty funny.I still get letters discussing it.Women my age grab me and ask, ‘Did all that really happen?”’ DROPPED BOMBSHELL During the 1954-64 decade chronicled in the new book, she moved back to New York, and back into live theatre.It was also the period when she “fought every inch of the way” to escape her blond-bombshell image and break into character roles.She succeeded in such films as Night of the Hunter, I Am a Camera and Lolita, and she won a supporting-actress Academy Award for The Diary of Anne Frank.She donated the statuette to the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam.Also during that period.Winters became involved in the Democratic political campaigns of Adlai Stevenson and John F.Kennedy, and had her strife-ridden romance and marriage with Franciosa.Shelley II is loaded with gossip and reflections about famous friends.She relates how her mother discovered three grimy, hungry waifs in a stairwell of the Dorchester Hotel in London.When Winters arrived from the Lolita set, she found her mother teaching the youngsters to play poker.It turned out they were Elizabeth Taylor’s children.Their mother, recovering from a serious illness in Palm Springs, had left them in the care of a German couple who were having a drunken party in the Taylor suite.BUYING BLONDES About Marilyn Monroe, Winters says : “When we met, we were both struggling actresses.She was very bright, but we both figured out: What are they buying?They’re buying, unfortunately, blond bombshells.If you make yourself into that image, you’ll get work.It’s very hard to break that image.“She never had the confidence that she could get older.” James Dean “was Peter Pan.He was fun and sort of crazy.He was anti-establishment in every way.He used to take me for rides on his motorcycle.Somebody saw me, and (studio boss) Jack Warner was furious.‘Do not ride on that kid’s motorcycle!’ he said.So Jimmy would ride around me as I walked to the commissary.” Sean Connery is “a doll, very sexy.I always have great fun with him.I can’t believe he’s the same man who now owns banks in Scotland.When I first knew him, he had a strange little house that was 10 or 12 feet square, which he shared with his brother.“He really had trouble paying the ground rent, which they pay once a year in England.It was about $200.I knew he would never borrow the money from me.So I gave it to our friend, Peter Nobel, who told Sean he had an unexpected royalty from a book.“I forgot all about it.Many years later I took Sean to the airport one morning.When I got back home, there was a big box from Christian Dior with a blond mink coat in it and a note : ‘This is interest on your money.’” 1989 Fund Raising Campaign Back

Good Intentions — a movie by and about Ingmar Bergman’s childhood 4—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1989 Environmental calendar tests your weather quotient By Claudia Villemaire SHERBROOKE — Some folks would say that Gordon McKay blew into town, stirred up a storm of enthusiasm for the Environment Canada Weather Calendar, and disappeared as quickly as mist in the morning sun.Retired climatologist McKay is a fount of information on how the weather affects individuals, regions, continents and the history of mankind in general.His career as an Atmospheric Environment Service meteorologist has given him broad national experience from forecasting weather for Montreal, Gander and Winnipeg to the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration to providing information in the construction of the Gardiner Dam in Manitoba and other water projects.He retired from the Canadian Climate Centre in 1984, but talking with him suggests that retirement is just a word used by other folks.He’s still out in Weather World — this time participating in the promotion tour of the 1990 Weather Calendar.ANECDOTES The Weather Calendar celebrates the 150 Anniversary of continuous weather observation in Canada.Consequently designers decided it was time to fill each day’s allotted space with anecdotes, facts about weather from many points of views — historical and geographical, most of them new from Canada and around the globe.Each month features a question to test your weather ‘quotient’ and The Late Great Ladies of Blues and Jazz 20 sold-out performances at the Club Soda in

can find the answers in Weather Flashes, the magazine section of the calendar.This, the sixth edition, highlights the extremes — such as the year without a summer to the heat wave of 1936 — and notes historic events in which the elements played a significant part.It also looks ahead to the achievement of substantial reductions in the levels of that deadly sour stuff — acid rain.“Actually, the whole idea of the Weather Calendar grew from a desire to somehow show appreciation for the thousands of Canadian weather observers who have for generations faithfully kept weather records and managed, sometimes with great difficulty, to get those records to the right people at the right time”, McKay explained.The first weather observation point began in Toronto 150 years ago on Jan.1, he said.But most local and regional reports came from volunteers who were almost like forecasters themselves, called on by friends and farmers for their opinion on what was happening outside and how it could affect cropping or events, he added Today, the service has grown into an organization which all Canadians depend on, not just for their daily weather forecasts, but for services in support of transportation, agriculture, health and safety, environmental management and protection and other crucial activities.The cost of the calendar, a handsome, glossy production also featuring an excellent photo for each month, is $9.95 and is available through a large network of commercial and university books- Gordon McKay, retired climatologist with the Canadian Climate Centre, is keen about the 1990

talented trio — joining brushes across the canvas By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — Asa trio they’re dynamite; yet each stands alone on her own artistic merit.By some twist of fate these three accomplished artists from across the globe, found themselves — and each other — in the tiny Eastern Townships village of Mansonville.Jean Cookson, Bernice Leigh-Smith and Isabel Diaz-Lafontaine lived and drew their inspiration from the same surroundings for over a decade before finally meeting three years ago.Decidedly different in their artistic expression, the three artists experimented last year with the idea of presenting their works ’ensemble’ to provide the public with a more varied selection of artworks.THREE DIRECTIONS — ONE VIEW “We each follow our own paths and that’s why we call ourselves “Les Indépendants”, explained Jean Cookson.Bom in Scotland, Cookson spent time in England, France, and South America with her husband and children before coming to Canada.It wasn’t until she moved to the Bahamas in the ’50’s that she began “to paint in earnest”, she recalls.“I’ve always been interested in art, even as a small child,” Cookson said.“It’s a language, a form of expression for me.” Working primarily in watercolors and acrylics, Cookson describes her painting style in a word: diverse.POTPOURRI A prolific artist, her collection is a potpourri of reflective and surreal pieces, abstracts and beautiful landscapes of the Eastern Townships which provide the backdrop for her personal commentary.“I don’t like to explain the messages written into my paintings,” says Cookson.“Besides, I’m not very good with words.” Cookson’s style has been described as “highly symbolic and surreal as she comments on and explores the social climate of the times in which she lives.” Her 30 year mastery of watercolors has allowed her to share artistic secrets with fellow artist, and friend Bernice Leigh-Smith.DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE “I was working exclusively with oils until I developed an allergy to them,” commented Leigh-Smith.“I switched to watercolors which is a totally different experience.” Leigh-Smith first came to Mansonville with her husband and family in 1971.“We had a country place here, which we always enjoyed,” said Leigh-Smith.“When I was widowed in Ottawa,I thought about where I was happiest, and decided to move here permanently.” The mother of three, Leigh-Smith often draws upon recollections of family activities and sporting events for her inspiration.The subjects of her paintings spring to life on the rink or in the ball-field.Each is seen in motion and intent — giving the viewer the sensation of being a cheerleader on the sidelines.Leigh-Smith says her work has recently undergone a metamor-phis allowing her to paint more freely and use watercolors more effectively.“This doesn’t reflect a life-change,” she says simply, “I’m just getting better at it.” Adding a third dimension to the trio is Salva-dorian born Isabel Diaz-Lafontaine.LATIN-AMERICAN Influenced by her Latin American background.Diaz' masterful use of bright colors transforms the mundane to the magnificient.“Sometimes I think my colors are too hard,” commented the petite Diaz, well known for her use of color to convey feelings.The mother of six, Diaz came to Canada 30 years ago with her husband and settled in Montreal.“When it came time for vacation, where could you go with six children,” she asks?The couple decided on a farmhouse in Mansonville, and began spending summers, then weekends at the coun- try retreat.Finally Diaz chose the peaceful farmhouse as a permanent residence.“I never looked back”, she said, as all three “indépendants" nod their heads indicating their decision to settle in Mansonville has been a positive one.“I like to live as well as paint,” commented Cookson.“I travel, and garden and entertain my friends.” “But we are always painting in our minds,” added Diaz.“We are surrounded by inspiration here.” “I’ve even wakened in the middle of the night to paint,” says Leigh-Smith.The individual works of all three artists have been exhibited in shows throughout Canada.Last summer the three artists held a successful joint exhibition in Old Montreal.They will present their most recent works at a weekend exhibition at Auberge du Joli Vent, 667 Bond-ville Road, Lac Brome, from Friday, October 6 through Monday October 9.A diverse selection of paintings priced between $90-$900 will be featured.For more information, telephone 243-4272.We each follow our own paths and that’s why we call ourselves Les Indépendantes’ t u I m \ 6-TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1989 Popular artist draws inspiration from his Cypriot past By Kerin Hope AYIA NAPA, Cyprus (AP)—The most popular painter on this eastern Mediterranean island took his first formal art class in the high-security wing of a British prison 30 years ago.At 19, George Skotinos was sentenced to life imprisonment, with five other Greek Cypriots, for attacking an army camp during the five-year independence struggle against the British.“We were involved in a riot in Nicosia jail so they sent us to England, to Wormwood Scrubs prison, where they happened to have a nice civilian art teacher,” the burly Skotinos said in an interview.“I used to paint as a kid.I designed sets for all the school plays, but we didn’t have an art teacher.In prison, I found myself painting a mural with classical figures, a bit like an ancient Greek frieze." That was the start, Skotinos said, of a lifelong interest in painting the past.His pictures feature 2,500-year-old figurines, classical statues, weathered rocks and gnarled olive trees, often set dramatically against pale backgrounds.ODD COMPANY Later, behind bars at Wakefield prison in northern England and rubbing shoulders with jailed Irish Republican Army gunmen, Skotinos learned to make pottery.He also made friends with scientist Klaus Fuchs, serving a life term for passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union.“Klaus worked in the library, in the same block as the studio, and he found me books to read on art.He knew exactly what I should be reading." Skotinos was freed when Britain granted Cyprus independence in 1960, and won a scholarship to study acting at the National Theatre school in Greece.He attended the Athens Fine Art school at the same time.Like many talented Greeks in the 1960s, he took off for the United States, arriving “penniless like a real migrant.” In New York, he got his start repainting the Brooklyn Bridge with some Greeks he met through an Orthodox priest.His first show at a Manhattan gallery drew a mention in The New York Times and sold out.DECORATIVE’ “I didn’t much like the notice,” he said.“My work was called ‘decorative but not absorbing.’ But the gallery owner said, ‘Don’t be stupid.If you’re worth writing about you don't have to worry.’” But he didn’t feel comfortable amid the op art and psychedelic work of the time, and went home to find inspiration in the rock-strewn landscapes and heritage of Cyprus.“I’m called a surrealist, but I’m not that abstract,” he said.“I want to evoke the feeling that we’re not just passers-by but we’ve got history and roots other places don’t.Everything I do is filtered through an ancient civilization.” Local collectors snap up Skotinos’ acrylics as soon as they’re finished.“It’s scary how much I seU.” ACCESSIBLE Art aficionados on Cyprus say Skotinos is appreciated for his colorful personality and because his pictures are accessible.“He’s got a style that’s quasisurrealist and distinctive, yet it’s recognizably Greek and not too difficult,” says Lonia Efthyvoulou, another leading Cyriot painter.“Skotinos is genuinely original and his work isn’t static,” says Eliza Betito, who runs a Nicosia gallery.“He’s not afraid to try out new ideas.People get a good feeling from his paintings.” There are only a few pictures in Skotinos’ home at Ayia Napa, near the big tourist resort on the southwestern tip of the island.One striking canvas comes from a series he painted after the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus “to protest this terrible thing that happened.” Framed by a pillared doorway, two black-clad women huddle under an olive tree against a stark blue sky.A small winged figure hovers above, like an ironic ray of hope.TURKISH BLOODBATH When the Turks seized the northern third of Cyprus, he abandoned his home at Famagusta in the occupied zone, leaving behind many paintings.His recent work has grown more naturalistic.The marble statues are less formal and posed in “places where the ancient Greeks didn’t put them, like the seashore.” He also paints detailed submarine landscapes he observes while swimming, “now that I feel I’ve got a good enough technique to convey some of their beauty.” This year he transformed his garden into a bar — the first step toward making an art centre.“I’ve applied for permits to build studios for pottery, painting and sculpture where people can come for short courses.But entertainment is just as important, so I started with that.” Modern art pioneer still painting but, with a spray gun By Penelope Hocking-Vigie ANTIBES, France (Reuter) — Abstract painter Hans Hartung, one of the last survivors of a group that revolutionized 20th century art, is still working — with a spray gun.Hartung, who turned 85 in September, is grouped with Picasso, Kandinsky, Miro, Klee and Matisse as a pioneer in modern art.He still works in his studio on the PHIU The giv OTHR0PIST, /ifmoœofusX / were one, |

paintbrush with the strength necessary to give his huge canvases the force for which they are famous, he paints now with a spray gun.The vigor contained in his work contrasts with the frail, shrunken figure.His long, thick white hair hidden under a cap, his expression intense behind heavily-framed spectacles, he listens to music, mostly Bach, as he works.WIFE DIED Hartung’s Norwegian artist wife Anna-Eva Bergman died in 1987.They had settled in Antibes on their vast property, called Le Champ des Oliviers, in 1972.The house and studios, which they designed, are built around a swimming pool with a device that Hartung uses to lower himself into the water for his daily swim.A specially adapted car takes him for drives into the mountains and surrounding countryside, which give him inspiration and the opportunity to indulge in his other passion, photography.Born in Leipzig, Germany, in 1904, Hartung received a conventional training at art academies in his home town and in Dresden, but even as a young man he developed an abstract style.Kandinsky was an early influence.In 1931 Hartung had a one-man exhibition in Dresden, but it was not a success.He spent the next three years on the Spanish island of Minorca.FLED NAZIS He returned to Germany but, detesting Nazism, fled and settled in Paris in 1935, becoming a French citizen 11 years later.When the Second World War broke out, he joined the French Foreign Legion, serving in North Africa and later losing a leg as a result of wounds received during fighting around the French town of Belfort in Alsace.He was awarded the Croix de Guerre, the Military Medal and the Legion of Honor.After the war, there was a successful show of his work in Paris in 1947, followed by exhibitions in Europe, the United States, Japan and Latin America.Hartung’s works figure in princi-pal modern art galleries throughout the world.In 1960 he was awarded the Grand Prix of the Venice Biennale, where an entire room of the French pavilion was devoted to his work.West Germany awarded him the Great Cross of the Order of Merit in 1964.Many of his works are titled by letters and numbers.Birthday exhibitions of his early and current works have been hung in the Alsatian town of Colmar and in Paris.The municipality of Antibes is keen to build a museum dedicated to Hartung and Bergman and there is also talk of retrospective exhibitions in East Germany. TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1989—7 A mystery, set in Navajo country, with an urban touch Talking God — the latest Hillerman mystery Kaleidoscope By RICHARD LONEY ' 1 Talking God by Tony Hillerman (HARPER & COLLINS): $22.95, 239 pp.After building a solid reputation with his novels set in Navajo country in the American West — books which have been awarded the Edgar Allan poe Award of the Mystery Writers of America, and the Grand Prix de la Literature Policière of France — Tony Hillerman decides to add an urban note with his latest, Talking God.While his last novel, A Thief Of Time, brought together Navajo Tribal Policeman Jim Chee and his fellow detective.Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, this one has the two officers chancing upon each other while pursuing two divergent cases that happen to converge in downtown Washington, D.C.CHEE GETS WARRANT Chee is given a warrant to arrest an eccentric Smithsonian Institute conservator named Henry Highhawk in his tribal territory when the man journeys to the Painted Desert in Arizona, to observe a native ceremony known as the Yei-bichai, which translates as “Talking God”.Highhawk, it appears, is indignant about the unearthing and storage of over 18,000 Navajo remains, the bones of which are kept at the Smithsonian for archeological purposes.He goes so far as to unearth the boney ancestors of Catherine Morris Perry, “Spokesperson” for the Smithsonian, using “authentic anthropological methods to locate the burials of authentic white Anglo types”, as the letter he encloses in the gory package proclaims.Highhawk feels that if the relics of Navajo ancestors can be stored away in the Smithsonian, then his disinterment of sacred Anglo-Saxon bones, such as those of Mrs.Perry’s grandparents, for similar purposes will point out the jarring inconsistency in the way that Native-American rights are regarded.THEN Simultaneous with this event, Lieutenant Leaphorn is trying to trace the identity of a body found at the side of the Amtrack railway line near Gallup, New Mexico.An elderly gentleman wearing poin- ted shoes, dressed neatly in a suit and tie, but strangely enough having been relieved of the burden of his false teeth, presents a corpse that causes much consternation for the Gallup F.B.I.agent, and the consulted policeman Leaphorn.In his usual fashion, author Hillerman weaves into his fascinating plot a fair measure of anthropological lore about the Navajo and their customs, while deciding in this tale to send Hillerman and Chee to the streets of Washington in pursuit of their tangential cases.There is a certain amount of Crocodile Dundee style of disorientation experienced on the part of the innocent Jim Chee as he rides the subways of Washington, but Hillerman is too skilful a mystery novelist to get hung up on that tack very long.He takes us inside the dingy back halls of the Smithsonian Institute, and reveals some of the lore about the immense array of cultural artifacts that fills that museum, revealing Henry Highhawk to be a conservator whose interest in the Navajos is extensive.INTRODUCING LEROY FLECK In addition to allowing Chee and Leaphorn to pursue their cases, Hi-lerman introduces a minor character in the person of Leroy Fleck, who resembles the portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald created by Don De-Lillo in his recent thriller about the Kennedy Assassination.Fleck is one of those men living lives of quiet desperation who are on the fringe of society, doing the bidding of unseen, gravel-voiced paymasters who use assassination and lesser mayhem to change policy and shape political events.So, in a novel that readers of Tony Hillerman will turn to in anticipation of more of his Novajo lore, deft plotting and intriguing characterizations, the bonus in Talking God is an urban tour of downtown Washington and the return of Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn in a unique kind of Watson/Holmes hook-up.RECORD REVIEWS King’s X Gretchen Goes To Nebraska (ATLANTIC-WEA) Although they hail from the unlikely rock venue of Katy, Texas, King’s X appear poised to do for a small burg in the Longhorn State what R.E.M.did for Athen’s Georgia — That is, put the town on the map.A curious blend of very disparate rock influences pervade their work; King’s X can sound heavy metalish one moment, on a track like I’ll Never Be The Same”, and in the space of one song apart, blow you away with their CSN&Y lyricism on a beautiful song like “The Difference (in the garden of St.Anne ’s-on-the-Hill”.At first glance their lyrics appear to revel in obfuscation and obscurity, but a song like “Mission” appears directed precisely against the quackery of the Jim Bakkers and Jimmy Swaggerts and their ilk.Coming from deep within the heart of Texas, these boys appear willing to carry the double burden of playing the devil’s music and satirizing the Baptist fervor that surrounds them.The trio that forms King’s X includes Doug Pinnick on bass and vocals, Ty Tabor plays guitars, dulcimer, sitar, wooden flute and also sings, while percussion and drums and vocals are handled by Jerry Gaskill.Despite their slender numbers, King’s X manage to sound more like a quintet at least on most of their songs, due to some skilful studio manipulation.Whether King’s X can afford the luxury of such chameleonic stylistic disguises wiwthout being forced into one direction by their record company will remain specualtion until the release of their next album.Meanwhile, King's X will catch the ear of fans of bands such as Rush; Crosby, Stills and Young; and Guns & Roses.Tuck & Patti Love Warriors (WINDHAM HILL JAZZ A&M) Although they’ve been doing their jazz/folk thing for more than eleven years now, it was not until the runaway success of Boston’s Tracy Chaman last year that people began to realize that Tuck & Patti had been doing the same style of music to far less notice.Chapman’s “Fast Car”, or even Suzanne Vega’s “Luka”, with their rich acoustic guitar solidifying the folkie vocals, have paved the way for the blend of Patti Cathcart and Tuck Andress’s material: Patti’s vocals have the savoir faire of the velvet tones of the Divine Miss Sarah Vaughan, while Tuck Andress has been in receipt of most effusive praise for his virtuoso guitar playing: “.simply one of the most extraordinary guitarists to ever put ten fingers against six strings” (San Francisco Bay Guardian).The material that finds its way into Tuck & Patti’s repertoire can originate with the Beatles (“Honey Pie”), guitar-legend Jimi Hendrix (“Little Wing”), Stevie Wonder (“If It’s Magic”), or Lerner/Lane as they do one of Broadway’s showtunes, (“On A Clear Day”).Wrapping her sultry voice around Tuck’s eccentric guitar styles, Patti Cathcart proves the old adage about the human voice representing the most pure jazz instrument.Her range, tonal quality and phrasing will put the listener in mind of Ella and Billie Holiday, while the sound of her vocals will rekindle memories of the hit song Tuck & Patti had as their “Take My Breath Away” was chosen for the theme song for the 1989 International Special Olympics.This album can only add to the groundswell of popular opinion that has slowly but inexorably taken the beautiful music of Tuck & Patti to heart.Martika Martika (COLUMBIA) Spurred on by the phenomenal success of teen wonder Tiffany, record companies are falling all over themselves in trying to come up with the next Instant Wonder — or is it Flavour of the Month?Latest is Martika.who adds disco beat and drum programming to a Carole King tune to come up with a lively version of “I Feel The Earth Move”.Already having racked up impressive sales with “Toy Soldiers”, a song she wrote with her producer Michael Jay, Martika has found her album comfortably lodged in the upper reaches of chart successes, both in this country and in Britain The only problem with this formula pop music is that just about anyone can achieve the kind of fragile popularity that has befallen singers such as Tiffany, Martika, Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli, Neneh Cherry, and a seemingly inexhaustible list of other female vocalists.Why, even Cher appears to be hiding behind the skirts of this sudden influx of prccious-voiced disco crooners; although Cher has probably been propelled into the spotlight on the strength of her risque and totally tasteless bottomless get-up she sports on her latest video.Martika, of all these pheenoms, appears to appreciate the strengths of using solid lead-guitar solos on her tunes, as she allows Mark Leggett to strut his stuff on “Toy Soldierw”.On “You Got Me Into This” the Musician’s Union will be having cardiac arrest; not only is there the expected drum programming machine chattering away, but Martika calls in a troupe of synthesizer horns to give a Miami Sound Machine artificiality to the track.For a generation weaned on the soulful strut of Aretha and the song-belting of Tina Turner, some of these synthetic-soul practitioners fail to ignite much of a response. 8—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1989 WHAT’S ON Notes The Mont Orford Tourist Bureau has announced the first ever Flambée des

Felicity Munn The Canadian Press Passports can be a nuisance to get and an even bigger nuisance to replace if stolen.To get one, you have to fill out a long application that must be countersigned by a guarantor and accompanied by two photographs.Then you have to surrender a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship to External Affairs while the application is processed.The fee for a passport is $25.And when the passport expires after five years, you can’t just renew it, you have to go through the whole procedure again.A similar screening process is performed when a passport is lost or stolen overseas.Embassy or consular staff need to establish you're who you say you are, and that can be time-consuming, particularly if all other ID has also been lost or stolen.LOSSES NOT HIGH External Affairs says about 1,000 Canadian passports are reported missing each month — a tiny fraction of the estimated five million passports held by Canadians at any given time.But officials acknowledge that Canadian passports are a valuable commodity among people who want forged passports.Hence the time-consuming screening process, even when a traveller needs a replacement fast.Says Ian Hamilton, head of the External Affairs section that provides consular assistance to Canadians: "Our job is to serve the Canadian public, and so you try to do that with as much alacrity and aplomb as you can, but being mindful there are people who would love to get their hands on a Canadian passport.” WHAT TO DO Should a passport disappear on a trip, here’s what to expect and how to help the replacement process along.First report it to police.That can take some time — there may be a language barrier and police may be busy with more serious complaints.Then, no matter how many hundreds of kilometres away it may be, you’ll have to go in person to the Canadian embassy or consulate in that country.If there is no Canadian diplomatic representation in the country, there is usually an honorary consul — normally a diplomatic representative of Britain or some other Commonwealth country — authorized to assist Canadians when necessary.LISTED IN BOOK The External Affairs booklet Bon Voyage, But.lists all Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates around the world.The booklet is available free at any passport office.Before issuing a replacement passport, the consular or embassy staff will want a copy of the police report, plus three photographs of you, plus, of course, confirmation of your identity.At this stage, it helps a lot if you have some ID.So always carry passports separately from other identification to reduce the chances of losing both.The best ID is a birth certificate or certificate of citizenship — the same document needed to obtain a passport in the first place.HAVE PHOTOCOPY Gloria McArthur, acting chief of passport policy in Ottawa, says people reluctant to travel with their original birth certificates should carry a photocopy.It’s also helpful to have a photocopy of pages 2 and 3 of your passport, which include the passport number, photograph, date of issue and signature.Otherwise, consular staff will ask for a driver’s licence, social insurance card, and so on.Any ID with a picture on it is particularly helpful.But unfortunately, officials say, most travellers whose passports are lost or stolen also lose their ID.When that happens, your name and date of birth will be faxed.Telexed or phoned to the passport division in Ottawa, which will then check its files, including your application for the original passport.That application contains plenty of information — including your hair and eye color, height, weight, marital status, previous marriages and the name of your guarantor — which the consular officer may then use to double-check your identity.So how long would all this take?AT LEAST DAY McArthur would only say the time needed varies widely, depending on everything from the country you’re in and the ID you have, to how busy the consular staff is and the time difference with Ottawa.home of a famous artist.“Worpswede is such a good place to work because it still has a lot of its small-town qualities,” said Otto, standing amid a sea of sculpted human figures in his studio.Otto says he has a special fondness for the residents.“Artists have been here for 100 years.The residents are used to being around crazy people.” But artist Verena Vemunft, who now lives in Hamburg, has harsh words for her former home.“I don’t like tourist places, and Worpswede has tourists on every comer.” MANY ON GRANTS A number of artists are in Worpswede on stipends from private organizations such as the Barken-hoff Foundation, which chooses promising young painters, sculptors and others and provides them with room and board for a six-month stay.Many work and reside at the Barkenhoff, Heinrich Vogeler’s majestic former residence and studio.Vogeler, one of Germany’s best-known Art Nouveau practitioners, went to Worpswede in 1893.After serving in the First World War, he became a communist and fled in the 1930s to the Soviet Union, where he died a disillusioned man in 1942.Worpswede was just an anonymous little farming village in the north German moorland until three artists took up residence in 1889.Fritz Mackensen, Otto Mo-dersohn and Hans am Ende were mesmerized by the beauty of the countryside and re-created it on canvas.Others followed.The Barkenhoff was the scene of evening songfests, artistic discussions, open-air plays, and readings by Rilke.It is now a shrine for thousands of tourists who visit every year.Travel Worpswede still a famous year- By Terrence Petty WORPSWEDE, West Germany (AP) — Welcome to Worpswede, where mobs of tourists roam quaint little streets hoping for a glimpse of big-name artists.The elusive artists, meanwhile, hole up in their studios, guarding their solitude.Worpswede — home to about 150 painters, sculptors, poets and other sorts who live by their creative talents — is celebrating its 100th year as a year-round artists colony.Artists and affluent commuters live in the little town of 8,000, with its old stone homes and tree-lined streets, about 25 kilometres north of Bremen.A number of lesser-known artists and craftsmen — from glass-blowers to weavers to painters — operate their own galleries, and some give lessons to supplement their incomes.Placid canals, once used by area traders, flow through the fields outside the town limits.THOUSANDS VISIT The anniversary has already drawn about a quarter of a million people and armies of reporters and television crews.“There are some who come here who know the history of Worpswede and why it’s important to art,” says town manager Guenther Welibrock.“But there are many expecting to find a theme park, or they just think it’s a nice place to drink coffee.” Worpswede has sheltered some of Germany’s best-known artists, from the turn-of-the-century painter Paula Modersohn-Becker to modem sculptor Waldemar Otto, whose works are known around the world.Famed poet Rainer Maria Rilke also spent much time here.It boasts 15 art galleries, pricey boutiques, cafes, souvenir shops hawking everything from incense to neckties, and an astrologer who also gives vacation tips.The town also has several small hotels and, of course, art supply stores.German news media have described it as a place where “art and tackiness meet.” ARTISTS NOT ART Welibrock says many tourists expect a close encounter with artistic geniuses.“There is this naive idea that anyone can go see how the artists work.But these artists don’t see themselves as being like their works, as exhibition objects.” Otto, who has had major exhibitions in New York and other U.S.cities, says he does not feel threatened by intrusive tourists.His house, concealed by thick bushes, is on a hill overlooking Worpswede centre.There is nothing to indicate that it’s the Replacing lost or stolen passports can sometimes be a big nuisance Penal colony becomes final unspoiled refuge By Paul Holmes ASINARA, Sardinia (Reuter) — The silence, the turquoise sea and the wild horses grazing peacefuUy in the sun suggest a paradise island, until a man in manacles steps under guard from a motor launch.A convicted drug trafficker, he has arrived on Asinara, a penal colony within sight of the northwest tip of Sardinia, where Italian justice once banished its hardest criminals to life sentences of despair.Now, after 104 years off limits to the law-abiding public, Italy’s Alcatraz may be destined for a brighter future as an accessible nature reserve and village-style open prison.The plan is the brain-child of prisons director Gen.Niccolo Amato, who says he is determined to save one of the Mediterranean’s last unspoiled outposts from the tourist onslaught that has marred so much of Italy’s coastline.CONDO SITE?Asinara is 50 square kilometres of mountains and scrubland where time seems to have stood still.A haven for many protected species of birds, marine life and animals that include rare breeds of white donkey and wild mountain sheep, it has no asphalt roads.Its only buildings are the scattered constructions of the penal colony.“There are us, the prisoners and the mountain sheep,” says one prison guard on a tour past unpoUuted rocky coves and deserted beaches of pure white sand.Asinara’s status as a prison island is the reason it has remained virtually unchanged since it was sealed off in 1885.But recent reforms improving life in Italian jails and a sharp fall in the convict population have reduced Asinara’s importance to the penal system.HIGH SECURITY Less than a decade ago its cell blocks held more than 500 prisoners, many of them Mafia bosses and Red Brigades terrorists.There now just over 100 convicts, and about as many guards.As the number of Asinara’s unwilling inhabitants has dwindled, rumors that developers are poised to swoop have spread along the Sardinian coast.Amato is convinced that only the presence of the prison service can preserve Asinara from property speculators, and believes his plan could also apply to two smaller prison islands, Pianosa and Gorgona.“We know that as long as there is one convict and one warden on Asinara, Pianosa and Gorgona, the islands will be safe from any kind of speculation or commercial aggression,” Amato said in an interview.KEEP BEAUTY “I believe it would be an unforgivable crime if everything possible was not done to preserve the island’s beauty.” He envisages closing the current prison and creating a new

TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 198»-11 Mosquito Lake: stunted characters dragging it down By Stephen Nicholls The Canadian Press A lot of jokes on the new CBC sitcom Mosquito Lake are like tall ships on a clear day: You can spot them coming from a long way off.You’ve got to give CBC credit for bravely setting sail into the turbulent waters of situation comedy, where laughter is the only life-saver.But while the series is buoyed by some funny bits, it’s also dragging a lead weight of stale gags and stunted characters.The new sitcom, which makes its debut on Sunday night before switching to Fridays, is set in central Ontario cottage country.It focuses on math teacher Bob Harrison, his wife and kids, their neighbor and the folks at the local marina.The big fish in the cast is Mike MacDonald (Bob), touted by CBC as an “internationally acclaimed comedian.” CAN BE FUNNY When MacDonald gets a chance to run with his character, he can be funny in a boorish sort of way.After his wife announces she’s pregnant, he goes into a theatrical, field-goal kicking routine to under score the manly triumph of fathering a child.“It’s up.it’s up.it’s GOO-OOD!” While watching through the window as his neighbor paints the cottage next door, he describes the color to his wife as “I’ll give you a hint” and then thrusts a finger down his throat to simulate induced vomiting.But much of the time, the script seems to cramp his style Bob ends up looking just plain silly, or worse, just plain plain.Mary Long, who plays his perky wife, is wasted in a role that adds little humor to the show.Apparently she's the straight foil to clown MacDonald.But as Bob Newhart’s on-camera wives have shown, straight can be funny too.LOCKED IN Don’t blame Long.She has a vivacious, animated manner that begs to break free.But she’s locked into a character that seems to be going nowhere.Not much has been done with the two kids, played by Tara Charen-doff and Bradley Machry—though Machry is a pint-sized charmer with plenty of potential.Dan Redican, a former member Zsa Zsa a special care BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.(AP) — Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor’s trial for slapping a police officer went to a jury, while her aristocratic husband told reporters she deserved special treatment by the court because she is wealthy.“She’s not going to jail,” Prince Frederick Von Anhalt predicted after jurors began deliberating Wednesday.“The rich and famous should be treated differently.They bring the money into Beverly Hills.” Deputy district attorney Elden Fox told the jury Gabor already had been treated better than the average citizen arrested on charges of assaulting a police officer.“She was treated differently than you or I would have been for the same conduct,” Fox said.SPEND THE WEEKEND LOOKING INTO A WOODSTOVE But don’t waste your time being sold a stove.Come and learn about the latest technology.Make sure that the installation of chimney & stove are compliant with all Safety codes.Learn how to buy a stove.$100 Discount Free Tool Set Gloves & Loe Carrier A^,8120v^ Valid From Oct.1st to 31st vnixt»S-^a?Àfe.v- of the Frantics comedy troupe, plays the beer-guzzling teddy bear of a neighbor, George, who lists badly to the goofy side.Other regulars include a butch woman marina operator, her dense brother and an arrogant American cottager.Maybe the characters looked good on paper, but in performance they don’t seem to add much in the laugh department.MURKY DEPTHS Old gags and predictable humor really drag the show into the murky depths of mediocrity: — Bob and George swear they won’t be talked into buying a lot of new fishing equipment this year; next scene, they’re surrounded by a mountain of new gear.— Bob and George are out fis hing, and George starts snacking from a container in the boat; oops, he just ate the bait.— Bob promises his wife he won’t tell a soul she’s pregnant; the second she walks out of the room, he runs to the phone.FISHING HOOKS Some of the show’s best lines are fishing lines.The dialogue between Bob and George could have been tom from the fishing-lure ads of Field and Stream: “Can I have your Whopper Stopper?” “No way.” “I’ll trade you two Polly Wog-gers.” ‘T’ve already got a Polly Wog-ger.What I really need is a Woolly Bully.” When they finally land a lunker, they gloat to other fishermen: “It was like reeling in a Buick.No, more like a Winnebago." And Bob taunts his rival over a pint-sized catch, “Something for your aquarium?” The series shows promise — and it does have catchy rock theme music — but it cries for some creative caulking and bailing.Only time, and ratings, will tell whether Mosquito Lake stays afloat or blub-blub-blubs its way into the kelp forest.The jury began deliberations after final arguments from Fox and defence lawyer William Graysen and instructions from municipal court Judge Charles Rubin.Earlier, Gabor bolted from the courtroom in tears after Fox characterized her as a spoiled Hollywood elitist.“She came to entertain you.she craves the media attention in this case, it is clear,” Fox told the jury.It was Gabor’s fourth such exit during the 13-day trial that has cost taxpayers almost $30,000 US.“I want to get out of here.I want to go to Europe,” Gabor said in the hallway.As a misdemeanor defendant, accused of slapping Beverly Hills police Officer Paul Kramer, Gabor was not required to be present at the trial, except for sentencing if convicted.Free Warming Shelf $100-$120 Value Valid From Oct.1st to 31st ,V» rniiuf DOWN Sherbrooke # TITLE GIRL I’M GONNA MISS YOU CHERISH 18 + LIFE KEEP ON MOVIN’ IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME HANGIN’ TOUGH KISSES ON THE WIND DON’T LOOK BACK MIXED EMOTIONS MISS YOU MUCH WATERLINE SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE PARTYMAN LOVE SONG RIGHT HERE WAITING LISTEN TO YOUR HEART END OF INNOCENCE HEALING HANDS DON’T WANNA LOSE YOU IT’S NO CRIME HEAVEN COLD HEARTED IT’S NOT ENOUGH BLACK VELVET THE BEST ONE ROCK WIT’CHA GIVING AWAY A MIRACLE STRANGER THAN PARADISE LOVE SHACK SECRET RENDEZ VOUS COVER GIRL CALL IT LOVE THAT’S THE WAY WHAT I LIKE NO SOUVENIRS AMERICA IS SEXY I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE ROCKLAND WONDERLAND WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE Mill!

Thus, Manilow begins a look back at his years in show business - from audition pianist to Bette Midler accompanist to international superstar.The show is a series of "This Is Your Life, Barry” recollections about his mother and father in Brooklyn, N.Y., his embarrassment over his nerdy looks as a kid, his fear of going solo (save for his modest band) and his performing in "a bunch of fleabags.” It’s all staged very well, with accompanying players, supporting singers and splendid sets depicting various events in Mani-low’s life.Of course there are the songs, and Manilow has plenty of those (his 20th album was just released by Arista records).He performs many of his best during the show, like "Mandy," "Please Don’t Be Scared,” "Some Good Things Never Last" and "Keep Each Other Warm.” He performs a lengthy medley of his greatest hits, including, "I Write the Songs," "Old Songs,” "I Don’t Want to Walk Without You," "Copaca-bana," "Could It Be Magic” and "Daybreak.” Manilow is backed by a great orchestra.And the staging at the Gershwin Theater in New York City, where the show was taped live, is superb.Manilow is a moving singer of ballads.Quite expectedly, the show becomes maudlin at times.Still, Manilow’s remarkable number of hits testifies to his universal appeal.His seemingly genuine modesty shines through all the glitz, making him a believable, likable entertainer — and a pop superstar every mother could love.
