aymond Boudre eebe*& chain-saM mfÆ mm RD/GRANT SiMÉON .mÊ __ : 2-TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1989 Canada Post’s 1990 program will include Canada Post recently announced their 1990 stamp program which will include fifteen issues involving a possible thirty-six stamps.At this point they are not saying how many stamps will be involved in the Christmas issue.However, judging by past years, there should be four.At this time there are no denominations due to the expected postal hike in January.However, the gem of the year should be the fourth issue, Masterpieces of Canadian Art.Featured in this particular issue wUl be a painting by Tom Thompson entitled “The West Wind”.It is one of Canada’s most famous paintings.DELICATE Collectors of Canadian stamps will recall the very delicate nature of the last two stamps in the series.This is due to the printing method, which is rather complex.They are foil stamped in two colours and printed in lithography in multiple colours.I would imagine this stamp to be the same.It should also be in a higher denominations.The second issue that should mean something especially to Canadians, is the Canada Day stamp.This stamp issue will not .r a Stamp ^ ~ corner gl By Peter McCarthy JBgSjflR only be meant to celebrate Canada’s birthday but, will also be meant to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Canadian flag featuring the red maple leaf.Our flag has survived a very hard and controversial twenty-five years, and we should be proud.The fifth issue in the Canada Post programme should prove to be quite interesting.It will be a value definitive in the Architecture series and will feature Bonsecours Market in the old portion of Montreal.The first two stamps in the Architecture definitive series were the one dollar denomination featuring Runnymede Public Library in Toronto and the two dollar denomination featuring the McA-dam Railway Station in McAdam, New Brunswick.Are we possibly looking at another five dollar issue?The balance of the program will be mainly domestic rate commémoratives featuring such subjects as Folklore, Dr.Norman Bethune, Multiculturalism, Dolls.These are dolls which were produced by the native peoples of Canada and Canadian pioneers.These stamps will be issued in con-juction with the Royal Philatelic Convention and Exhibition which will take place from June 8 to the 10th inclusive in Regina, Saskatchewan.SMALL CRAFT SERIES Further to the program will be stamps featuring Prehistoric Life, Canadian Forests, Climate Observation, Literacy, Small Craft ; this will be the second in the small craft series of four stamps in se-tenet form.Next will be a stamp featuring Agnes Macphail, the first woman elected to the Canadian House of Commons.Then comes the Christmas issue.These will feature works of art created by the native peoples of Canada.To round out the 1990 program, a se-tenet set of four stamps will be issued featuring the Second World War.This is the second set of four stamps featuring Canada’s achievements and sacrifices during this terrible struggle.AAPPOINTMENTS On the same day that the 1990 stamp program was released, Canada Post also announced appointments to the Stamp Advisory Committee.The four new members added to the committee are: Madame Huguette Dussault, Director of Teaching, Télé-Université, Montreal; Mr.Bryan McGill, Editor, Beautiful British Columbia Magazine, Victoria, B.C.; Dr.Peter B.Waite, Professor Emeritus of History, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia; Ms.Heather Cooper, an illustrator, painter and designer from Toronto; Miss Anne Chippendale, a business executive from Calgary, Alberta, who has been re-appointed.These four new members join the existing committee made up of the following members; Dr.Hugh Dempsey, historian, Calgary, Alberta; Mr.Andrew Gregor-ovitch, librarian and bibliographer, Toronto, Ontario; Dr.Frances Halpenny, a professor and editor from Toronto; Mr.De- 15 issues nis Hamel, a director of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada, Dollard des Ormeaux, Quebec; Mr.William Richards, businessman and commercial printer, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia; and Dr.Susan Mann Trofimenkoff, Historian and Vice-Rector, University of Ottawa, Ontario.The committee is certainly made up of a wide variety of intellectuals and busines people.They range from historians to printers to bibliographers to editors and designers.The sad part is there is only one philatelist.While it must be kept in mind that people in each phase of the development of a stamp are necessary on such a committee, it should be kept in mind that philatelists should also play a role in stamp issues.SUGGESTIONS WELCOME The public may enter suggestions for stamp designs providing they follow the procedures and guidelines.There are a number of stamps that are pre-planned several years in advance.All that is required is a decision on design.In orer to have a chance at a suggestion being accepted, it is wise to submit that suggestion at least two years in advance of an event.Jukebox Jubilee:‘nickel-in-the-slot’ machine turns 100 By Mitchell Landsberg WAYNE, N.J.(AP) — Clink.Charley Hummel drops a nickel into the jukebox and taps C-l.Whirr.The platter twists on to the turntable.WHAM! It’s 1958 and — great balls of fire! — Jerry Lee Lewis is on the loose: “You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain! Too much loving drives a man insane! You took my will! Oh what a thrill! Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!” Hummel stares fondly at his 1961 Rock-Ola Regis 200, which has the sleek chrome lines of a ’57 Chevy, and discusses the 100th birthday of that most American of inventions, the jukebox.An amateur historian and jukebox wizard, Hummel has deter- mined that the first jukebox swallowed its first coin on Nov.23,1889, at the Palais Royale Saloon in San Francisco.USED HEADPHONES It didn’t much resemble its flashy descendants, nor did it have the same name — it was caUed a “nickel-in-the-slot.” But the operating principle was pretty much the same : When a nickel was dropped into a slot, a wax cylinder began to spin, a needle plopped on to it and the music was heard through crude headphones.The songs were about two minutes long, and there was only one selection per machine.But it was recorded music, and the sound quality was surprisingly good.Hummel collects jukeboxes, and the family room of his suburban home is a combination warehouse, workshop and museum.It’s crammed with vintage jukeboxes, wax cylinders, 78- and 45-rpm records, advertising signs and a bronze bust of the father of recorded music, Thomas Alva Edison.The collection includes a turn-of-the-century nickel-in-the-slot that still works when a penny is dropped in (prices were slashed from a’ nickel in the 1890s).Slipping in a penny, Hummel hands over the headphones and a listener hears the imperial strains of Columbia, Gem of the Ocean.Another early favorite was Nearer My God to Thee.WICKED’ LINK The word “jukebox” apparently entered the language in the 1920s.The Random House Dictionary of the English Language traces it to “jukehouse,” a Southern U.S.dialect word for brothel, which in turn came from a West African word “dzugu,” meaning “wicked.” The modem jukebox was bom in 1927, when Automatic Music Instrument Co.made a machine that had amplified sound and played a variety of selections.It still looked old-fashioned — like an old wooden radio — but it set the stage for the heyday of the jukebox in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s.Those were the years when Wur-litzer, Seeburg, Rock-Ola and other companies competed to create the brightest, flashiest, most multicolored and spectacular jukes imaginable.Jukeboxes became an integral part of the North American experience —- particularly the experience of teenagers flush with the first stirrings of romance.SWING, BABY It was a time when Perry Como crooned of his “jukebox baby”: “All your lunchtime money goes down the slot, you could live on air if the music’s hot.Jukebox baby, you’re the swingingest doll in town.” Jukeboxes hit an artistic peak in the postwar years, when Wurlitzer came out with its Model 1015, regarded by many aficionados as the most beautiful jukebox of all time.WINNIPEG (CP) - Estonian rock band Ultima Thule, on its first tour outside the Soviet Union, already has a loyal Canadian following — although, guitarist Riho Si-bul admits they’re not typical rock ’n’ rollers.“Our fan club is much older; they’re middle aged with relatives in Estonia,” Sibul, 31, joked during weekend stop in Winnipeg.Ultima Thule (pronounced Ull-timah Tool-uh) has been touring Canada with Vancouver’s 54-40.The band — which includes guitarist Vjatseslav Kobrin, 30, bass player Raul Vaigla, 27, and drummer Peeter Jogioja, 23 — has been the No.1 rock band in Estonia for two years but life on top of the Estonian rock charts doesn’t make a group rich, said band manager Raivo Sersant.There were 12.000 copies made of the group’s first album last year, but the band has no idea how many were sold, or if any more were manufactured.“The band got 150 rubles each for the album,” said Sersant, who is fluent in English.It was wrapped in a rainbow of multicolored plastic tubing, was trimmed with pieces of Art Deco chrome, played 24 songs and sounded sublime.It was a classic.“The war was over, there were happy times,” observes Don Fair-child, who runs the Juke Box Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.“Money was more plentiful, jobs were opening up and people were getting out and listening to the jukeboxes.” “Last year that meant $180 Canadian but, because the exchange rate has fallen, that now means each made $15.“The system is very bad.” Sibul, who is also the group’s singer and speaks the best English of the foursome, describes the band’s original songs, written in Estonian, as a mixture of power rock and rhythm and blues.He said his former group, which included Vaigla and Kobrin, played mostly pop music because they thought it would be easier to sell.SINGS OF LIFE “Now we play the music we want to play.We sing about our way of life and lifestyle.” That aspect of the group’s music attracted the attention of the members of 54-40, which heard Ultima Thule at an Estonian rock festival last year.“54-40 said, of the 50 bands at the festival, we were the only ones who didn’t pretend we were from the West.” CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH US ^(oadeaLun 'rome/ Grand Opening December 2nd and 3rd Special Savings on Antiques — Christmos Trees — Decorations Poinsettias — Plants — Gift Ware 1149 Knowlton Road 514-263-5476 West Brome, Quebec Estonian band on tour TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1989-3 NDP Convention: The Musical — a Letarte flash Chairman Watson, CBC Programming, Box 500, Station A, Toronto, M5W 1E6 Dear Patrick, Got a blockbuster for ya, baby — a beaut of a bouncing megabit that’ll get CBC out of the red and back in the Canadian culture biz once and for all — NDP Convention: The Musical! The treatment goes something like tbs: Curtain rises on bare stage, see, seven dwarfs on seven chairs all in a row, stark lighting from high above so their features are shadowed and we recognise them one by one as the lights slowly come up under the credits to Elgar’s ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ — Audrey and Dave, McCurdy and Langdon, De Jong, Legasse and Waddell.They all jump up, link arms and hit the opening production number “Heigh Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to Work We Go!” And while they’re covorting on stage, the camera pans up, see, way, way up to a God’s Eye View of it all — the CBC anchor booth — Peter Mansbridge and Wendy Mesley holding hands and looking down at the ocnvention floor.They’re romantically lit from behind, see; they turn and smile at each other, Peter and Wendy, Wendy and Peter, straight on till morning! They part and we get down to the serious work of Act one, ‘Broad-bent’s Farewell’.Honest Ed and Lucille come slowly out to centre stage to the usual hullabaloo of delegates flapping their placards and waving their standards.His speech is loosely modeled on ‘Napoleon’s Farewell to his Troops’ : “Soldiers, recieve mon adoo, eh?Quatorze ans we’ve lived together In the paths of glory.” That’s to show he’s bilingual, see, and the 2,500 delegates and 1,000 journalists on the convention floor are lapping it up; “Be submissive to your new ge neral And abandon not notre pays bien-aimé Mourn not my fortune.” By this time there’s barely a dry eye in the house, see, except for a few cynical media types who figure they’ve seen it all but he has a boffo ending that gets even them; “Bring me my NDP Logo! Let me press it to my heart! Who’s who By TADEUSZ LETARTE Farewell my children! Forget me not!” Then Lucille steps up beside her manny and when all the weeping and wailing subsides enough they start their up-beat duet “Shuffling Off to Oshawa”.* * * Act Two: I’m For You, opens up with a scrum on the convention floor, see, offers and counter offers, deals and refusals, threats and promises, reporters shoving microphones up everybody’s nose and asking winners and losers the same question over and over; “How do you feel, right now?” Ian Waddell moves to Dave Barrett after the first ballot and Audrey’s all-female back-up singers wail out the hauntingly expressive “Ian Waddell Has Votes To SeU.” De Jong makes a deal with Barrett but follows his heart to Audrey and Barrett’s Male Chauvinist Choir belts out the burly vocal line of “Simon De Jong Has Done Us Wrong.” McCurdy moves to Langdon, Langdon drifts toward McLaughlin, Phil Edmunston-dithers and Roger Legasse vacillates.Comic relief form all this dealing and double-dealing is provided by Don Newman who looks for all the world like Howdy Doody grown up — his lower jaw works up and down but his upper lip never moves.Romantic interplay between Peter in God’s Eye and his little Wendy fighting for her life through the scrum — “When You Hear Me Call V —OOO-EE-OOO.” Peter and guests keep talking talking talking until they pause for station identification and he ends the scene with a lonely little aria “I and My Little Red Tie”.* * * Act Three: The Decision.It’s Dave and Audrey neck and neck, see, nose to nose, right down to the wire — the male chauvinist pig from British California and the militant feminist from Yukon-on-the-Tundra.Dave has a comic little solo here — “I’m a Little Munchkin” — and Audrey a plaintive little aria — “Don’t Send Me Back to Whitehorse”.Then they recover themselves and each tries to outdo the other on the robust duet “I’m In Love With the NDP.” Still with me, baby?Fourth and final ballot—we see hands stuffing paper into boxes, follow the boxes across the floor and down a long corridor to the counting room.Door closes.We stare at the closed door.Dave and Audrey have a voiceover duet; “Will It Be Me?Oh, please, Let It Be Me!” Tension is almost unvearable.Door finally opens.Man comes out carrying an ordinary white envelope in an ordinary hand.We dolly back down the corridor and back across the convention floor to the stage without once taking our eyes off that envelope.We know it contains the name of Canada’s next Pee Em, Numéro Uno, the one who will lead our nation into the 21st Century.“The enveolpe, please.” Dead silence.Audrey is beauti-fic.Dave is scratching his crotch.Wendy is wringing her hands.Peter has his fingers crossed.The envelope is slowly torn open.Audrey’s singers let rip "1 Am Woman: Hear Me Roar.” She’s hoisted to shoulders and carried up to the stage to “Talking’ 'Bouta Rev-O-Lution-Shun-Shun.” Honest Ed and Dave meet her on the platform with all the other candidates, uncles and aunts, friends and relations, Don Newman, Peter and Wendy, and they join in “From Agnes to Audrey, We’re On Our Way; From McPhail to McLaughlin, Scots Wa’Hae!" Then all 2,500 delegates and 1,000 journalists pitch in together for the closing number, “Solidartiy Forever”.Boffo or no, Patrick?Let’s do lunch.Sincerely yours, Tadeusz Letarte.A great idea for Christmas gifts _ (CV) — The commemorative volume “A Community with Deep Roots”, written by townshipper and free lance writer Barbara Verity could be a great Christmas gift idea this year.This historical account of the Townshippers Association’s ten year-existence is fUled with interesting descriptions of activities, events in education, health and so- cial services, business, cuuure auu heritage.There are lots of informative bits that just might talk about someone you know and, there could even be a picture or two that will tug on the heart strings.This could be the gift you were looking for with a grandchild in mind or the folks who have moved away from the E.T.and always want to keep in touch.It portrays the English-speaking community through the years since the association was founded.Actually it’s like reading about your own history Many stores around the townships have the book in stock or you can order directly by phone.Just call Townshippers’ Association at (819) 566-5717 or (514) 263-4422.m* dfcr i NDP (MUSICAL WHAT'S IN A WETLAND?sifîf JPf » v- if.â Ducks Unlimited Canada We are.Since 1938 we at Ducks Unlimited Canada have put all o< our resources into this country's wetlands.We know them as incredibly beautiful, bountiful, complex and fragile places.We are proud to say we re the Canadian partner in the world's most effective privately-funded waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization.Behind us are hundreds of thousands of North Americans who find pleasure and purpose in providing the support we need to carry on our work.We are Ducks Unlimited Canada.WE ARE.FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL 1-800-665-DUCK.« FAMOUS PLAYERS SWpaM I^ sNvCii^ Christmas® rrmcrre,___ Vacation i ALi VN0 ruse RM TUB BNM Sot., Sun.: 12:45 - 2:55 - 5:05 - 7:15 - 9:30 p.m.IW-fcdoy»: 7:15-9:30 | 4—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1989 Mossy Stones heated up their frigid fans in Toronto By Donnelly TORONTO — It was bitterly cold (-20 Celsius!) for the Rolling Stones’s final two Toronto concerts last week.Atypical weather, to be sure, and a challenge for the legendary rock and rollers.Could they get the almost 60,000 frigid fans each night warmed up enough to boogie?Back in balmy September, the first two Toronto gigs at the CNE showed off the band, fresh and energetic for the second and third concerts of their first tour in 8 years.The music was great, the sound top notch and the crowd just rarin’ to go.In comparison, the Skydome (unavailable in the early fall because of Blue Jays home games) was an intimidating cavern that inspired restraint, not carefree abandon.“Glad we re inside this time”, said Mick Jagger before alluding to sound problems that continue to plague “this beautiful room”.FANS COAXED Fans were coaxed out of their shells with quips like “I don’t want you to behave like normally restrained Canadians”, a preamble to “Miss You”.“Sigh”, performed for the first time in Canada, was intro-duced by the encouraging comment “It’s getting friendlier out there — I can almost hear you.” ?EURE IN STYLE • Autonomous Residents • Single or Double Rooms • Home Cooked Meals • Laundry Service • Private or Semi-Private Baths • Reasonable Rates • Access to Game Rooms and Gymnasium • Ready Now!

launched into “Can’t Always Get What You Want”.SHOWMAN Always the consommate showman, Jagger was in control form the opening “Start Me Up” to his signature encore finish, “Jumping Jack Flash”.A dandy in his ellment, he first appeared in black embroidered troeadors with green silk shirt under a bright orange Steel Wheels tour jacket.Mick pranced around his band mates and a dynamite supporting ensemble — three black back-up singers and a sizzling brass section led by the imposing Bobby Keys on sax.Shaking his tail at the two provocatively attired female singers, he cooly shifted gears for a hot, flir-tatious rendition of “Harlem Shuffle”.A trip down memory lane began with “Ruby Tuesday”.The cock of the walk donned a psychedelic silver and emerald-lined satin coat for the journey.Other golden oldies included “Honky Tonk Women” (during which the stage was flanked by two 55-foot hot-air foxy ladies), “Paint It Black”, “2000 Light Years From Home” (with spectacular visual effects and some impressive keyboard work by Chuck Leavell), “Sympathy for the Devil” (shorter than the usual By Dylan M.Young TORONTO—The lights went out in Toronto’s Skydome and the almost inaudible beginnings of a song cerpt across the stadium like a slowly advancing army of ants.59,000 people fell perfectly silent in its wake and the tension mounted.There was a thunderclap as a blinding barrage of pyrotechnics engulfed the stage front, then died into smoke.A single brilliant spotlight sliced through the smoky darkness.But focused on nothing.Was it a mistake?Then the version), “Gimmee Shelter”, “It!s Only Rock & Roll”, “Brown Sugar” and “Satisfaction”.MORE NEW STUFF But the emphasis was not on nostalgia.Many of the old-time favourites heard in the CNE were conspicuously absent at the Skydome.This was deliberate.Jagger confirmed that much of the audience had attended one of the earlier shows and said more of the new stuff was built in to the current set to give everyone some variety.He predicted the reviews would be contradictory.“They were fresh, they were tired.what d’ya want?You’re not the only one with mixed emotions”.An apt intro to one of the hits from the Steel Wheels album.STONES HONORED In a special backstage ceremony prior to the concert, international music representatives honoured the Stones with an impressive array of awards as platinum records gleamed behind them.But the recent LP does not rank as one of their best and devoting six songs (more than 1/4 of the evening’s total) to selections from the disk weakened the overall impact of the concert.Guess Mick’s prediction was right.The leaps and splits of 1981 are no longer a trademark.Yes, even the proud peacock is showing his age.But Mick’s androgynous, athletic presence graced every nook and weathered form of Keith Richards stepped into it, accompained by the screaming sounds of his trusty guitar.The other legendary band members materialized as the rest of the stage exploded into light.A roar came up form the crowd.Everyone stood up in a wave of excitement.And the ageless voice of Mick Jagger started them up, appropriately, with “Start Me Up”.NEW TRACKS AND OLDIES The Stones played tracks off their new album Steel Wheels but it wa their “hot rocks” from the cranny of the mammoth set (250 feet wide by 130 feet high — and that doesn’t include the steps down to the audience.Still, it was less mechanically creative than that of the Stones’ previous tour.But the lighting and special effects were truly spectacular.Instantly recognizeable as a singer, Mick has become an accomplished guitarist and harmonica player.He picked up a guitar for “Sad, Sad, Sad” and the sinister “Undercover”, then haunted us with his harp solo on “Midnight Rambler”.Most important, Jag-ger’s voice was in terrific shape despite some four months on the road.(Well, on tour anyway, Planes are not kind to the vocal chords either).Time has not been as forgiving to Keith Richards.Vocals were never his strength.Sad to say, it was almost painful listening to his whiskey and tobacco-ravaged voice.Mick passed him the mike before ducking out for a quick shower and change of clothes.“My friend’s going to sing for you”, he said in parting.But the singing that saved “Can’t Be Seen With You” and the joyous “Happy” came from the melliflous back-up team.GUITAR AUTHORITY In contrast, Keith’s authority on guitar is undiminished.“Always good to be back in Toronto” was his sincere, yet ironic greeting, a recall not only to the autumn shows past that really moved the fans.When Mick seranaded the throng with “Ruby Tuesday”, the calendar shot back twenty years, to a time when sandals and bells were the rage and young people were advised to “Turn on, tune in, drop out”.Two giant inflatable “women of the night” joined Mick stage left and right, watching approvingly as the band performed “Honky Tonk Women”.It wouldn’t have been right if the Stones hadn’t done “Sympathy fro the Devil”.As the end of the show neared, everyone waited anxiously for the next song to begin.The spotlight was on Mick, at the highest peak of the five-storey set.As he sang out that familiar greeting, we knew we were to be sated.SEDUCTION Although all the songs were great, none seduced me like the rendition of “2000 Light Years From Home”.As the song began, everyone was silent.The stage was bathed in soft green light and psychedelic images were projected against the monstrous set.Time slowed as the projected images strobed rhythmically, like the soft beatings of a heart, and the song took us all on a cosmic voyage into eternity.It was a breathtaking experience that didn’t end until the next song began and one that will not soon be forgotten.The “bad boys of rock and roll” may be old but they’re still kicking.Mick Jagger lived up to his “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” image, using the entire space of the elaborate, industrial set.He made sure everyone saw him well at some time but to his drug bust during the Maggie Trudeau era.Enthusiasm exuded from him throughout the almost 3-hour show.Travelling to the extreme edge of a ramp, he overwhelmed at least one female fan who charged the stage and had to be carried out kicking.Grooving with the guys and eating up the crowd’s adoration, it’s clear Keith just loves being out there.Even if he does look alittle like a silly old man.Cocky Ron Wood was a live wire bridge between the Glimmer Twins.His flashy guitar work continues to be a mainstay.But where would the Stones be without its most senior members, the cool and always reliable rhythm section fo drummer Charlie Watts and Bass guitarist Bill Wyman?It’s been over a decade since the greatest rock and roll band set foot on a Canadian stage and even longer since their last appearance in Montreal.On December 13 & 14, Steel Wheels will be rolling into Olympic Stadium.Every location has its idiosyn-cracies.After the stage was in place at the Skydome, some 2000 tickets were released for each performance.Chances are a similar situation will develop for the Montreal shows.Why not wipe out the Stones’ image of Canadians as a reserved lot?Get down to the stadium and show them some of Quebec’s joie de vivre! throughout the show.During breaks, Mick would goad the audience into more riotous behaviour and, for “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, invited us to sing along.Ron Wood was in top playing form, often running around the stage to show the audience how it was done.Charlie Watts dynamically demonstrated his mastery of drums.Even Keith Richards, who many thought couldn’t take the strain, was traipsing around the stage and collecting his dues.Only Bill Wyman performed no acrobatics, remaining relaxed and comfortable as he laid down the steady rhythm that keeps a song going.The Rolling Stones’ last North American tour was in 1981 and it’s more than likely that this one’s the epilogue.You can catch them at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium on December 13th and 14th.If you don’t already have tickets, more will probably be released on the day of each concert.Then, of course, there will be numerous scalpers who will be selling below cost just before the shows.HISTORICAL The Steel Wheels tour is not just a tour, it’s an historical event and even if you have the worst seat in the stadium, it will be worth being there.Dylan M.Young is the son of Nelly and Donald who spent many hours and years in our own Eastern Townships, covering and reviewing our cultural activities.Good work Dylan.(CV) rv^l| | We’re the ones wearing

Raymond Bou-dreault’s bears are his own works of art.Some folks may question calling the bears and other figures he has sculpted, art.But, watching the man wield a chainsaw, and seeing the figure of a bear emerge from a solid, pine log, about seven feet high and two feet across, certainly demands talent and practice.DOWN FROM THE NORTH The Boudreault family came to the Barnston area some twenty years ago.“I was born in St.Edmond-des-Plaines,” Boudreault tells me.“My Dad had a small farm, about ten cows and was a lumberjack to boot.” The family worked off the farm, cutting wood in winter, hunting and fishing and picking blueberries during the summers.“I remember the tent — it was huge — about 20 feet long.We would load up the wagon with food, bedding, clothing and of course the tent, hitch up our horse and drive about five miles into the bush.” BLUEBERRIES St.Edmond is north of Chicoutimi, in the heart of blueberry country.The Boudreault family would leave on Monday — “me, my father, a sister and aunt and uncle — really quite a load.That’s why we needed such a big tent” — and stay until Saturday, picking blueberries.“Well, you can imagine, the bears were in the blueberry patch too,” Boudreault laughed.“A few times I had to climb a tree when I saw a bear heading for me and my blueberry pail and wait for the bear to fill up on my berries and wander eventually on his way, looking for more berries.” The family would drive back home with the horse and wagon for the weekend, leaving their supplies at the camp site.“Sometimes the bears ripped the tent apart, tore open our food stores and made themselves right at home.” But the move to Barnston didn’t really improve the fmaily’s finances much.“In spite of a larger farm, I guess we were really not meant to be farmers,” he said, “because my Dad again headed for the deep woods in Vermont — back to lumbering to shore up family finances.” PETS “We had bears for pets down there,” Boudreault said.“There were always seven or eight around the camp.The cook fed them besides, so you can get the picture.We had to be really careful.” “So, I guess bears are the animals I’ve seen the most.And ac- s tually I really do like them,” Bou- r dreault admitted, explaining in * part his pre-occupation with these sometimes savage animals.But carving with a chain saw is relatively new.“I did carving with chisels and blades for about ten years,” he explained.“Actually the only lessons I ever took was how to sharpen my carving tools,” he said, laughing.Boudreault has one daughter who studied drafting and is now a designer at the Rock of Ages granite company in Barre, Vt.FAMILY TALENT “She draws very well.As a matter of fact, she’s the only one of my four kids who shows any artistic inclination.I have oftoen wondered what would have happened if I had followed some courses as she did.I wonder what I’d be doing today as I love to work with wood, and it’s very hard when you learn by yourself,” he added.Mermaids, cottages in the woods, faces of his family are all portrayed in his home.Some sculp- ting in granite and soapstone are in evidence too.But the figure carved most often is the black bear.“My Dad wanted me to stay in the woods with him.Just be a lumberjack.But I wanted more out of life.I just couldn’t imagine staying at the same thing for the rest of my life.” WANTED MORE So off he went, south of the border to Barre, Vermont where he learned the stone cutter’s trade.“I started with hammers and chisels down there,” and he stayed at that for 17 years.Then in 1978, Boudreault came back.“I had taken my American citizenship papers so the only way I could come back to work was in the same trade.” Today, Boudreault is a stone-cutter in the Rock of Ages granite sheds in Beebe.CAN’T STAY STILL But again, he wanted to do more.“I just can’t come home and watch T.V.until bedtime.I had to do something, so I started carving.” His Husqvarna 330 saw is equipped with a special chain, sprocket and blade.“I use a 1/4 inch chain instead of the standard 3/8 inch.The blade is smaller and thinner on the tip so I can get into small places.And the sprocket is changed to accomodate the shorter 12 inch blade and smaller chain.” He uses pine mostly.“So far, I like pine the best but I’ve tried cedar and poplar too.There are large-as-life bears with bear cubs nearby.There are half-grown bear cubs stretching and reaching up tree trunks and mail box posts, all displayed on the Boudreault lawn.Boudreault occasionally carves human figures too and especially likes to create ice sculptures.“Oh yes, I won several prizes the past couple of years with my igloo and dog sled ice-sculptures.I real- ly like to carve ice.It’s not as hard as granite, there’s no dust and the neighbors don’t complain about the noise so much.Granite requires pneumatic tools which are very noisy.OUTLET NEEDED NOW So now all Boudreault needs is an outlet for his craft.His bears come in all sizes to accomodate either interior or exterior decors.So far, mainly family and friends have acquired Boudreault’s work.“If I can’t find a way to sell some pretty soon.I’ll have the third floor filled before long,” he laughed.At any rate, the Boudreault bears are part of his Christmas decorations.They all sport red ribbon bows, and special Christmas lighting turns the bear family into a delightful exhibition of yet another kind of Eastern Townships folk art, this time in the border town of Beebe.7 just can’t stay still — sit around and do nothing.So 1 began wood carving — then making sculptures with my chain saw' •f * W A 6-TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1989 Traditional Christkindle market — an international fête By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE-Inge and Erhard VonGlasgow, a Sutton couple of German origin have once again advanced the cause of multi-culturalism and international understanding.For the past four years the couple has organized a traditional Christkindle market, bringing together artisans of all nationalities living in the Eastern Townships and greater Montreal area.“It’s a labor of love”, says Erhard.“Besides,“he chucldes,“what can you do if you have a wife who insists on doing this year after year?” Thirty exhibitors accepted the VonGlasow’s invitation to display their crafts at the Sunday market held December 5 at Ste.Therese Church in Cowansville.The international flavor of the market made it a shoppers’ delight for buyers looking for that special Christmas gift with a difference.Hand-carved wooden sculptures depicted well known scenes from German villages, while another booth offered shoppers cassetes of favorite tunes in a multitude of languages.One Polish couple proudly displayed hand-hammered copper jewellery and accessories imported from Poland and Russia.“Everything they make there is multipurpose,” boasted the vendor as he pulled apart a wooden bottle to reveal a concealed cavity.Lively music with unfamiliar lyrics filled the hall decorated with posters featuring the colors and traditions of the world.INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR The international flavor was carried through to the kitchen where Deider and his crew were busily serving German sausage, saur-kraut, and potato salad.And there was a special treat for those sweet teeth that long for the rich dark chocolate of Germany.“A lot of the elderly people can’t get to Montreal to buy German chocolate,” says Inge.“So we bring a little of home to them each year.” The VonGlasgows first became involved in the concept of an international market with the Sutton Market in the 1970’s, recalls Erhar-d.“As Revolved and new people joined, we gradually moved to something new.” Building bridges to advance the cause of international understanding is an on-going process for the couple.Last year, Erhard and Inge visited an elementary school with posters, songs, and stories from their native Germany.Inge teaches German language courses to adults through the adult education program, and is well known in the community for her promotion of world peace and understanding.ALWAYS SOME HEADACHES But being involved is not without its headaches.Every year the couple has to overcome what for many would be incredible obstacles.For example, to prepare for Sun-day’s Christkindle market, the couple spent Saturday evening — Erhard’s birthday — setting up the 8 foot tables for the exhibitors.When they arrived early Sunday morning to complete last minute details, they discovered all the tables had been taken down due to a scheduling error.“Last year it was 20 below, and this year we are having the worst snow storm of the season,” said Erhard shrugging his shoulders.“Every time I set up the tables, I say never again,” he added.A Christmas tree cut by Erhard for the occassion was decorated at the last minute by the VonGlasows when a message inviting church and community members to decorate the tree together became skewered.“On top of it all, we didn’t get the support of the local media in publicizing the market,” added Inge.In spite of the hurdles, those who attended the event encouraged the couple to continue the event because of its importance to the community.And thanks to the generosity of participants at the market who each donated an item for raffle,the BMP Hospital is $337.17 richer.The private sector must start filling the gap Cultural groups should look elsewhere for By Christina Tapler SHERBROOKE — “Cultural groups should no longer count on government money for majority funding,” was the admonition made by Jacque Lefebvre, representative of the Canadian Council for the Arts.As vice-president of the federal body that distributes government and private funds to the arts Lefebvre emphasised that the private sector must fill the gap now.The representative was speaking at the Pavilion Armand-Nadeau last Tuesday to representatives of Sherbrooke arts and business.The lecture was sponsored by the Conseil de la Culture de l’Estrie, the local arts council.“The federal arts council must fight for government money with other departments and budgets are shrinking,” Lefebvre said.“I don’t see any other way but to create a marriage between the arts and business.” “But I think it could even be a marriage of love.” Imaginative ways must be found to raise money from historically unwilling groups, according to Lefebvre.One of those imaginative ways is to “prepare pamphlets to distribute to notaries, lawyers and others who help prepare wills to suggest the arts as an alternative charity.” As if sensing the audience’s unease with the suggestion, Lefebvre quickly put his comment into context.“Let us not forget how the Council was first formed,” Lefebvre said.“The McKinnon foundation donated $50 million in 1957, without which there wouldn’ be a council today.” Big companies, the traditional supporters of theatre, dance and symphony, must be encouraged to donate more, he said.But smaU business and professionals must also realize their small contributions can make a difference.Levebvre said he hopes to shatter the perception that true artists should live in poverty, while popular artists reap huge salaries.“Ginette Reno drives around in a Cadillac and makes more money than Charles Dutoit or the principal dancer of Les Grands Ballets,” Lefebvre said.Lefebvre couldn’t resist delivering a sermon on the age-old woes of the artistic world.“We always talk about funding problems,” he said, “but the real problem is lack of attendance because people are not interested in our product.” “We in the arts, like business people, are selling a product,” he added, “and the product must be marketed to our youth.” “The tired excuse that young people don’t have money for expensive ballet or symphony tickets financing doesn’t hold up when they spend $50 a piece on tickets to see Mick dagger or Paul McCartney,” Lefebvre said.“It’s not a question of money but of interest — and we must pique their cultural interest while they are in school.” He pointed his finger closer to the mark when he accused the media of not doing their job to promote culture.“Radio-Canada should stop showing us the French version of Dynasty and show us ballets, symphonies and theatre,” he said.“Then people would become interested while more artists would be promoted,” Lefebvre concluded.Here’s a list of reviewed and recommended kiddies books By Rod Currie The Canadian Press Like snowflakes, the bountiful Christmastime flurry of children's books is piling up, leaving doting grandparents, stand-in Santas and other shoppers overwhelmed and befuddled.Here are a few ideas : The Eleventh Hour: Australian writer and illustrator Graeme Base has followed up his 1986 bestseller Animalia with a book that is

elephant throws a grand party for his Uth birthday, only to have all the banquet food stolen.The clues are all there for the sharp-eyed reader but if all else fails the solution is locked in a sealed envelope inside the back cover.(Stoddart Publishing, $19.95).The Sky is Falling: A hardcover, 246-page novel by Edmon-ton-bom Kit Pearson, it tells the story of Norah and her brother Gavin who are

responsibility helps her accept her new life.This is the first of a proposed trilogy by Pearson, a librarian now living in Vancouver.(Penguin Books Canada, $16.95).Reena and the Riser: A fast-paced science fiction work about space pirates written by Toronto-born Juanita J.Smith when she was only 13.It tells of a crew of ex-convicts and smugglers trying to hijack a freighter full of gems.Smith, raised in Spaniard’s Bay, Nfld., now attends Dalhousie University and is working on a new novel.(Douglas and McIntyre, $14.95).The Ghost of Peppermint Flats: A somewhat overpriced soft-cover volume of 14 yams, in mainly rural or remote settings, by Ted Stone of Ganges, B.C., who also takes his storytelling art to schools, community groups and radio and TV.Some are funny or off-beat but all are eerie, such as those about the stampede of the phantom buffalo or the mystery boy on The Bus To Winnipeg.(Western Producer Prairie Books, $11.95).The Magic Paintbrush: An enchanting story by Robin Muller who was inspired by a Chinese folktale about a poor orphan whose only wish is to paint pictures so real that people will think they are alive.Nib, the hero, starts drawing with bits of charcoal that fall off the charcoal burner’s cart but soon moves into a magical world of art dominated by an evil king.MuRer, educated at Algonquin College in Ottawa, has created gloriously evocative, rather Dickensian illustrations for this book, his sixth.(Doubleday Canada, $14.95).Fred’s TV : A contemporary story about a television junkie and what happens when his furious dad banishes the TV to the backyard, where it ends up as a sort of outsi- zed birdfeeder.It brings Fred a new view on life.Written and illustrated by Clive Dobson.(Firefly Books, $4.95).Jason and the Sea Otter: A gripping but simply told story about an Indian boy from a British Columbia coastal tribe who fantasizes over his grandfather’s stories and eventually gets involved in an adventure he’ll be able to tell his own grandchildren.Written by retired engineer Joe Barber-Starkey and joyfully illustrated with vividly natural backwoods scenes by Paul Montpellier of Vancouver.(Harbour Publishing, $14.95).The Earth and

resources.(Macmillan of Canada, $14.95).Swan Lake : Loosely based on the classic ballet of the same name, this is a luxurious volume handsomely printed and bound — the kind of book serious young readers may wish to pass on to their own children.The tranquil, romantic but melancholy story is artfully told by Mark Helprin with splendid illustrations by Chris Van Allsburg, both Americans.(Distributed in Canada by Thomas Allen and Son, $24.95).Sleeping Dragons All Around: Writer Sheree Fitch of Fredericton and illustrator Michele Nidenoff bring a wild and wickedly mischievous sense of humor to this vividly colored fantasy that will draw belly laughs from young and old.The house is full of ugly-funny dragons and the object of everyone’s concern is a great gooey mocha maple chocolate cake.(Doubleday, $14.95). TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 198&-7 Trust — another great novel by George V.Higgins Kaleidoscope By RICHARD LONEY Trust by George V.Higgins (FITZHENRY & WHITESIDE): $22.95, 230 pp.While the late John Cheever and the erudite John Updike were building their solid reputations as regional novelists with special insight into the boardrooms and middle class domains of New England, George V.Higgins was forging his own reputation on a lower level.Mordecal Richler, himself no slouch at transcribing Canadian social graces, calls Higgins "a writer of Balzacian appetite” and “a poet of Boston sleaze”, and with Trust, the reputation of this fine writer is as firmly fixed as the Hancock Building and the Prudential Centre are in the Boston skyline.In Trust, Higgins moves with deft ease from the private clubs along Beacon Street, to the shady car dealerships in West Roxbury, as he documents with the skill of a Balzac or a Dickens, the complex but sordid social connections of a minor underworld figure named Earl Beale.Beale, a character as bizarre as any to be found in crime novelist Elmore Leonard’s pantheon of hoods and lowlifes, is a former college basketball player who served two and a half years in prison on a “five to seven” for shaving points on games he played in (sort of a Pete Rose of the B-Ball courts).DANDY SCAMS As Higgins’s chronicle of crime opens, Beale has a couple of dandy little scams going.On one of them he is forced, through and obligation of his brother’s, to pick up a vintage Mercedes sedan and have it destroyed by a compactor, no questions asked.The other involves Earl’s girlfriend, who has been performing executive stress relief for a high-roller businessman named Allen Simmons, one weekend or so a month.Earl and Penny, the girl, have worked out a bit of a sting operation by which he has been taking pictures of Allen and Penny arriving at various airports, with the plan to use the photographic evidence as a blackmailing weapon.With those simple plot directions in place, Higgins, the master of dialo- gue, unfolds his captivating story of life on the underside of Massachusetts society.BELIEVABLE Whether it’s Earl Beale standing in line at a neighbourhood liquor store checkout counter, or his practice of his slick trade of wheeling and dealing automobiles, Higgins makes you believe these people really exist.His characterizations, particularly with minor characters who are sprinkled throughout the novel, are impressive, and the speech patterns of Earl Beale, Penny, or some of their peripheral friends, appear to have been taken down by a tape recording and then merely transcribed onto these pages.Whether talking about the Red Sox, working out a price on a dilapidated clinker of a used car he’s touting, or exchanging banter with a gum-chewing cashier, Earl Beale is a unique, fascinating piece of work.A STUDY Higgins knows how this kind of character conducts his life, and the description of Beale sabotaging his girl Penny’s apartment, after he decides to leave her, is a study in motiveless malignity that is as warped as anything Shakespeare’s lago ever dreamed of.Beale leaves a large Thanksgiving turkey thawing in Penny’s sink, turns all of the thermostats up as high as they go, swings open the refrigerator door to assure that the food will all spoil, and generally trashes the place with his deposits of beer cans and casual filth.When Higgins brings the two plots into clearer focus, as the novel develops, it is clear that an operator like Beale can only spell grief for anyone he comes into contact with.For the reader, however, George V.Higgin’s masterful books, even if they probe the unsavoury underworld of New England, manage to do things that many writers only attempt to do.RECORD REVIEWS Various Artists Legacy — A Collection Of New Folk Music (WINDHAM HILL — A&M) When even semi-metal teen-busters such as Guns & Roses start working the primitive kind of acoustic guitar licks that used to be de rigeur on Kingston Trio songs into their rock acts, it appears that elements of folk music can be found almost anywhere.Add the resounding success of acoustic acts such as R.E.M., John Mellencamp, Tracy Chapman and scads of other pop performers, and there would definitely seem to be a groundswell of interest in the elemental folk music that charmed the sixties generation.Leave it to innovative Windham Hill Records to fulfill the surging interest in folky sounds with a splendid compilation album featuring the freshest and most compelling young performers who may be said to be practicing what used to be known as “folk music”.Legacy draws on the talents of fifteen solo, duet, or in one case a trio, of singers and songwriters whose work might be considered to be regional in its appeal to some of the meccas of folk music around the States.Bill Morrissey, for instance, is a Massachusetts-based singer whose work is followed closely by The Boston Globe when he does the resurgent coffee house scene in that state.His “Handsome Molly” is a gentle folk lament with links to old sea chantys or songs like the K.T.’s “New York Girls”.Steven Roback, on the other hand, uses 12-string guitars and very Beatlesque chord patterns on his song “Old World”, while Sara Hickman’s “Salvador” pursues the kinds of directions that led Peter, Paul & Mary into the protest song route.Ian Matthews, a recalcitrant and obviously reformed rocker from the early seventies, treats the listener to one of his acapella vocalizing feats on “On Squirrel Hill”, culled from his 19th album in a twenty-two year career, Walking A Changing Line, a 1988 Windham release.Anne Boure, a Canadian performer with classical training in both piano and cello, sings a breathy, emotion ballad, “Blue Ballet” that has the Suzanne Vega feel about it.Kirk Kelly has an off-the-wall look at the world in his song “Go Man Go” : “I woke up in California, west coast, big land of broken dreams, that can boast, of five pro-fessiônal baseball teams, and two of 'em came from New York, just like me”.Milo Binder’s “New Toys” is a whimsical but offhandedly serious song written from the point of view of “a fire engine, blood red and shiny”, that implores a young boy to take it home.The toy takes on a life of its own, sharing the boy’s play time, until the fire engine laments : “Maybe you’ll wonder about me, someday when you’re bored / Cause now Christmas comes along, and you don’t get toys anymore”.The Seattle group Uncle Bansai, Alberta’s Rebecca Jenkins, Alabama’s Pierce Pettis, and New York City’s Cliff Eberhardt, David Mas-sengill.or Lillie Palmer, in addition to the other earlier named artists whose work is captured on this tuneful collection, attest to the fact that folk music may well be the next trend in nostalgia.Pettis’s title track, an agonizing examination of the American social inheritance, borrows perhaps unconsciously from the Woody Guthrie and Huddie Ledbetter heritage that all of these singers and songwriters carry forth on Legacy.Most listeners will be struck by the wonderfully ironic lyrics on a song by John Gorka titled “1 Saw A Stranger With Your Hair”, which, like several others here, deserves to have a life beyond this introductory packet.Sings Gorka: “I saw a stranger with your hair / Tried to make her give it back / So I could send it off to you / Maybe Federal Express / Cause I know you’d miss it”, and the rest of the lyrics to this haunting song are equally witty, yet sadly poignant.If Legacy is any indication of the broad range of styles and varied vocal qualities finding audiences with their folk music, it may well be that the next phase in rock music’s development could be a return to the melodic and meaningful songs of the Folk Era.The Georgia Satellites The Land Of Salvation And Sin (ELEKTRA — WEA) Fresh from a successful assault on the club-rock scene in Montreal, the Georgia Satellites have also hit with their drivingest, most commercial album yet.The list of the folk that the Satellites wish to “thank for the memories” on the sleeve of this record gives a perfect indication of the roots of this band and the way the styles mesh on their tunes: “Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Hank Williams, Jr.and the Bama Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Del Lords, the Replacements, the Broken Homes, Tom Petty & the Hear-tbreakers, and finally, ‘please please please / free James Brown!” That musical potpourri just about points out the kind of rocking, bluesy, R & B sounds that the Georgia Satellites pump out so effectively.On “Another Chance”, writer Don Baird tips his hat to Woody and Ronnie Lane, on a very Faces-sounding song, with even Ian McLagan sitting in on piano, organ and snappy repartee.Joe South’s “Games People Play” is covered by these Southern boys, who turn that novelty tune into a more memorable rocker.Baird’s original tracks, however, carry the day here, with songs like “I Dunno”, and “Shake That Thing” (for Lowell George of Little Feat fame), hogging the spothght due to their inspired use of slide guitar and Satellites’ exuberance.When these guys are hitting on all eight cyclinders, as they are on this record, there’s no band anywhere can touch them for infectious, badass rock.n lr a mm feülî § Mé Collection of New Folk Music >“< ftt.GEORGIA

DECEMBER 8, 1989 Travel —___ KBCOra Famed Niagara Falls still world’s ‘Honeymoon Capital’ By Ken Becker NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.(CP) — Bob and Susie Small travelled 400 kilometres to spend their wedding night in the Garden of Paradise.“It’s a real romantic atmosphere,” Susie, 20, a nurse’s aide in a small town outside Pittsburgh, said the next morning over the roar of Niagara Falls.Bob, 22, who works for the Road Department in Pennsylvania, simply nodded.The shy newlyweds followed millions who have come — by horse-drawn carriage, canal boat, Pullman car, Model-T, Mustang and jumbo jet — to Niagara Falls, the city that bills itself as the Honeymoon Capital of the World.Their room at Michael’s Inn, near the falls, was dominated by a giant whirlpool bath — a deep crater set in a mountain of coral-colored cement with tiny waterfalls and artificial flowers dotting the landscape.“That’s why we call it the Garden of Paradise,” said the hotel’s matronly owner, Millicent Gruyich, who designed the room.“Isn’t it lovely?” In Niagara Falls, everything is a matter of taste.LONG PARKLAND The land bordering the Niagara River’s 55-kilometre run from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario has been protected by the Niagara Parks Commission since 1885.Along pleasant walkways and manicured parks, people picnic, promenade or stand awestruck as the river drops more than 55 metres over the U.S.and Canadian falls.Overlooking the falls is Clifton Hill — a neon trail of what the city calls its attractions: wax museums, haunted houses and souvenir stands.Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks has a figure of Mother Teresa.Up the street, the Criminals Hall of Fame has a wax image of Charles Manson.There are also showcases to honor the brave and suicidal, generations of so-called stunters who have followed in the wake of Annie Taylor, a schoolteacher from Michigan who, in 1901, was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel.FOR ALL TASTES “We’ve got everything for every taste,” says George Seibel, 70, a retired upholsterer and father of seven children who works full time in his home as the area’s unpaid historian.“I never fail to get excited when I go down to Table Rock (above the Horseshoe Falls).I see the rock layers and the sediment that was laid down hundreds of millions of years ago.” But Seibel, who was eight when he began taking visitors sightseeing for $1 a day, calls himself “a firm believer in Clifton Hill — the carnival atmosphere or whatever you want to call it — because the people want it.” About 12 million people stop at the falls each year.Visitors have included royalty and movie stars.ROYAL VISITORS King George VI brought his daughter Elizabeth in 1939.A cou- ple of years ago, Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah, visited.“How would you like to throw your mother over the falls?” a guide asked a startled Andrew as they stood in a tunnel behind Horseshoe Falls.The prince laughed heartily after being handed a coin bearing the Queen’s profile, recalls the guide, George Bailey, director of public relations for the parks commission.Before setting out on a tour of Canada earlier this year, Nobel laureate Lech Walesa, founder of the Polish Solidarity movement, insisted his itinerary be changed to include a visit to the falls.“Almost everywhere in the world you go they’ve heard of Niagara Falls,” says Gordon Paul, operator of the Honeymoon City Motel on Clifton Hill.Paul travelled the globe during 10 years as president of the city’s convention and tourist bureau.The dividends of his seven trips to Japan are perhaps seen in busloads of Japanese — mainly older people and honeymooners — stop- ping at the falls.BONAPARTE FIRST?The first honeymooners reputed to have travelled to Niagara Falls, in 1804, were Jerome Bonaparte, Napoleon’s younger brother, and his American bride.Word spread, the falls’ popularity enhanced by a popular song of the 1840s called Niagara Falls that began with the lyrics: The lovers come a thousand miles, They leave their home and mother; Yet when they reach Niagara Falls They only see each other.By the late 19th century, the idea of a honeymoon haven was firmly established, despite Oscar Wilde’s observation: “Every American bride is taken (to Niagara Falls), and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.” About 15,000 couples a year go to the city’s tourist bureau to pick up an official honeymoon certificate.Some Niagara Falls vital statistics By The Canadian Press Some facts and figures about Niagara Falls: — The falls are believed to have been formed about 10,000 years ago when a glacier exposed the Niagara escarpment, allowing the waters of Lake Erie to flow about 55 kilometres north toward Lake Ontario.— The Canadian (Horseshoe) Falls: 56 metres high and 675 metres across.— The American Falls: 58 metres high and 320 metres across.— Napoleon’s younger brother.Jerome Bonaparte, and his bride, Elizabeth Patterson of Baltimore, are considered the first honeymooners to visit the falls, in 1804.— Some other notable visitors: Abraham Lincoln in 1857, King George VI and his daughter Elizabeth in 1939, Winston Churchill in 1943, Marilyn Monroe in 1952, Lech Walesa in 1989.— Annual visitors: 12 million.— Origin of visitors: United States, 44 per cent; Ontario, 43 per cent; elsewhere in Canada, seven per cent; other countries, six per cent.— Honeymooners each year: at least 15,000 couples.— Average number of suicides each year: 30.— First stunter: Frenchman Jean Francois Gravelet, 35, known as Blondin, who, wearing spangled tights and carrying a 12-metre long pole, walked a 335-metre-long rope suspended 53 metres above the Niagara River on June 30,1859.— First person — and only woman — to go over the falls in a barrel: Annie Taylor, a teacher from Bay City, Mich., who became known as the Queen of the Mist, on Oct.24, 1901.She survived.Eclectic waterhole in the Jordanian desert By Martin Marris MAAN, Jordan (AP) — Smack out here in the Jordanian desert is an oasis of another kind — the Rest House and Modem Youth Saloon, where a traveller can quench a thirst and get an earful of Mohammed Khoury’s tongue-in-cheek philosophy.“Welcome in Jordan,” he intones from the command post behind his bar.“Welcome in Maan.Welcome in my guest house.Dutch beer?German beer?Tea?Pepsi?Welcome.” The place is a museum of kitsch and memorabilia: photographs, electronic gadgets, American cars, stamps, guns, garden gnomes, visiting cards, foreign money.More than 100 clocks, most of them ticking, surround the bar and lounge, which are flooded by dozens of red lights, including some inside mushroom-shaped plastic stools.On the hour, a chorus of cuckoo clocks and electronic beeps drowns conversation.GOT BYPASSED Khoury, 66, opened the rest house in 1972.It was frequented mainly by long-distance truck drivers on their way to Saudi Arabia from Europe.But a new road has been built and nowadays customers are few.Maan — 195 kilometres south of Amman, Jordan’s capital — is a town of 25,000 people, mainly traders, truckers and farmers of Bedouin stock.The little oasis on the old Islamic pilgrimage route to Mecca is surrounded by a flat, monotonous desert.Khoury philosophizes: “Life without a wife is like a kitchen without a knife.Another beer?” Khoury must have one of the largest collections of portraits of King Hussein, big even for Jordan, where portraits of the monarch are everywhere.The king is seen in dress white military uniform, wearing a traditional keffiyeh headdress, in a pilot’s uniform, with each of his wives (he’s been married four times), with his children, as a young monarch.He can be found dressed for soccer, cricket, riding, driving, flying and meeting dozens of Arab and other leaders.SURROUND SOUND Electronic detectors beep, crow, ring or squeal whenever someone enters the lounge or strides around the room.Western rock or Arabic music blares from one of the six stereos behind the bar.Khoury pulls out his stamp collection.Dozens are from Germany’s era of hyperinflation in 1922.One 100-mark stamp is overprinted “100 bilbon marks.” In a garage outside sit two Chrysler New Yorkers, a Plymouth Volare and an Oldsmobile Toronado.Khoury just sold a Dodge camper and he mourns: “Bed inside.Fridge inside.I was crazy.Crazy to sell it.” Amid the red ceiling fans, red cushions, red chairs and red carpets, Khoury recounts his childhood and shows a 1932 photo of himself standing beside his father who wears a traditional white headdress.BAR THREATENED Although his family is from Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus in what since 1967 has been the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Khoury says he has spent much of his life in Maan.Hundreds of business cards and currency from all over the world attest to his cosmopolitan clientele, but Khoury says the bar may be in danger of being closed down.Muslim fundamentalists in Jordan are calling for a ban on alcohol.“They’re waiting for me to make a problem, so they can close me down.” Khoury opened a drawer under the bar to display a collection of guns, picking them up one after the other, raising them above his head.“I’m ready for them.” TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8.1989-11 Meet Old Skull — America’s youngest punk rockers By Julie Aicher MADISON, Wis.(AP) — When the punk rock band Old Skull began performing at local clubs, J.P.Toulon’s hands were only big enough to play three chords on the guitar, and the group got paid with McDonald’s happy meals.Today, the three prepubescent punksters have a music video on MTV for their debut LP, Get Outta School, and practise in J.P.’s basement on high-tech equipment donated by sponsors.They even were paid $1,090 for a 39-minute performance in New York.Old Skull — guitarist J.P.Toulon, 10; his brother, bass player Jamie, 9, and drummer Jesse Collins-Davies, 10 — has been together for three years.The trio is managed by J.P.’s father, Vem.Get Outta School, which was recorded more than a year ago and released last spring, has sold about 30,000 copies.“People will buy your first album because you’re young and new and they think, ‘Oh, how cute,”’ said Jesse, a fifth-grader.‘‘But now they want to hear real music and that’s what we’re trying to do.Our last record — we just played anything.” HATES REAGAN On the first album, the band sings, and screams, about such issues as the homeless and AIDS.In Homeless, J.P.howls into the microphone amid screeching guitars and bashing drums.“I hate you Ronald Reagan ! ” he shouts at the end, with a look in his eye that tells you he means it.“Reagan’s out, dude,” Robin Davies, Jesse’s father, said at a recent after-school practice.“I know,” J.P., a fifth-grader, responded.“I still hate him.” The band performs fun, silly songs, too.Hotdog Hell gives the audience more than just music for slam dancing, a popular form of dancing for punk rock enthusiasts.“It’s usually our last song,” said Jamie, a fourth-grader.“We throw hot dogs into the crowd.It’s funny.Then they throw them back at us and we fight back—we throw them back again.” But the band has gained more Entertainment shorts LONDON (AP) — Pop stars finished a new version of the 1984 hit song Do They Know It’s Christmas?early Monday to raise money for African famine victims.More than a dozen singers ranging from Australian teen idol Kylie Minogue to U.S.veteran Tina Turner worked into the early hours to remake the Band Aid song that topped the charts in Christmas 1984, organizers said.The single is expected to go on sale next Monday.The original record raised about $10 million for starving Africans and spawned other projects including the transatlantic Live Aid rock extravaganza on July 13, 1985, which brought in more than $100 million.Peter Waterman, the millionaire pop-record producer who supervised production of the new single at his London studios said he was considering organizing Live Aid II next year.“First we have to bring the public’s attention to the record, then we will sit down just after Christmas and talk about a live show,” Waterman said.“It would be perfect timing.” Waterman lined up the pop stars and groups, including Cliff Richard, Chris Rea, Bananarama, Bros, Jason Donovan and Tears for Fears, after being approached by Irish rock singer Bob Geldof last week.Geldof, who conceived the 1984 single, said he is keeping a backstage role.LAS VEGAS (AP) — Comedian Redd Foxx says he has been “whitelisted” and blames racism for his current problems with the Internal Revenue Service.Foxx’s home was raided a week ago by 1RS agents who took cars, furniture, clothing and some of his jewelry.The seizures were made to pay $755,166.21 in back taxes for the years 1983, 1984 and 1986, the 1RS said.The agency said Foxx had ignored four notices sent to him to make payment.Foxx said he has been “whitehsted, whiteballed.” The black comic said the term blackballed doesn’t apply to him, because “nobody black hurt me.” The entertainer said in an interview published Sunday that the 1RS raid was carried out by members of the white establishment.“There have got to be some whites in town that owe taxes,” Foxx said.“Why don’t they go to their houses and tear it up and throw stuff all around the floor?Because they got big attorneys.” Foxx, the star of the 1970s TV series Sanford and Son, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1983, citing $1.6 million owed the 1RS from taxes before 1983 and more than $800,000 owed other creditors.SEATTLE (AP) - Playing a woman who is losing her grip on reality is “one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do,” says Martha Plimpton, an actress for 11 of her 19 years.Plimpton, daughter of actors Keith Carradine and Shelley Plimpton, appeared in the movie Parenthood and had multiple roles in the Seattle Repertory Theatre production of The Heidi Chronicles last month.“Working in films lets you get lazy,” she said.“Your style of acting becomes so naturalistic, so simple, so plain.There’s not a lot of work involved.” popularity on the East and West coasts than at home in Madison, Davies said.“On the coasts they tend to get caught up in the media like L.A.and New York.In Madison, they don't get caught up in it, which is good, actually, for the kids.In Madison they’re more grounded.” The band has received more than 400 fan letters from around the world, including one from a boy in Greece.NORMAL CHILDREN Both fathers, who also are musicians, insist their children are treated just like other students at school and have not been changed by their success.“I know it’s crazy, but things are absolutely the same,” Toulon said.“If anything, they’re sick of it (media attention).There’s been no grown heads.” Amid school, soccer, karate and skateboarding, the boys practice weekly and travel about one weekend a month to Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago and other nearby cities.They usually play in bars or nightclubs.The band will make its first international appearance when the boys, along with their parents, go to Japan to appear on an audience-participation television show Dec.8.Despite some criticism for allowing their children to play in a punk hand, the fathers said they believe Old Skull is a positive aspect in their sons’ lives.“It’s really opened a lot of doors for J.P.,” Toulon said.Although he’s never acted before, J.P.has auditioned for the lead role in Motorama, an action film from the producers of Platoon.J.P.and Jesse also write most of the band’s songs.“We write about what we see and feel,” Jesse said."We write about what we think is important." “We’re trying to be more serious than we are,” J.P.said.“But it’s hard, because we’re only kids.” What timely topics can we expect Old Skull to be shrieking criticism at on the next album?“I wrote a song about the stealth bomber,” Jesse said.“It’s called Money Waste.” 1- WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE Billy Joel 1 2- BLAME IT

NBC Christmas special parallels Rogers' life By Wendy Wallace “It was such a unique script because there were so many areas that paralleled my life so closely that I could not have not done it,” says Kenny Rogers, who stars in the NBC special “Christmas in America: A Love Story," airing Wednesday, Dec.13.“It’s unusual for me to do a project like this because most of what I’ve done so far has been action-oriented.” Ill ! n .Kenny Rogers In the special, inspired by the best-selling photo anthology “Christmas in America,” Rogers portrays Frank Morgan, a globe-trotting photographer who looks back on the various stages of his life.Four vignettes, which all take place at Christmastime throughout the years, dramatize his journey from childhood to fatherhood.The special, which marks the first dramatic pairing of Rogers and his son Kenny Jr.(who plays son David Morgan), also focuses on a rocky relationship between the son and his father, who was not there for his family at crucial times.“I play a 60-year-old professional photographer looking back at four pivotal Christmases in his life,” says Rogers.“It sets the tone and the driving force is the relationship the man has with his 26-year-old son.And coincidentally, my son is 26.“I told them that I would do it if I could work with my son,” adds Rogers, who was estranged from his son for several years.“It gave us eight solid days together which we had not had since he was 10 years old.We got the chance to catch up and get our lives sorted out.I think it was of major importance to me and I feel it was for him, too.” Born in Houston, Rogers began to sing while in high school.His track record includes three Grammys, ten People’s Choice Awards, 18 American Music Awards, five Country Music Awards and eight Academy of Country Music Awards; nine platinum albums, one platinum single and several gold albums and singles.“I’m a family man who cares and is concerned about other people,” says Rogers.“Christmas is a particularly unique time of year.People really feel a warmth with their families and know that there is some higher order than just the chaos that they have experienced.I can accept a lot of things at Christmastime because it makes me feel personally better and warmer.” 14—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1989 DECEMBER 10, 1989 MORNING 5:00 (MM) VJ: CHRISTOPHER WARD (1 hr.)
