Mtl.show report At the end of November the Canadian Stamp Dealers Association held a rather large stamp show at Place Bonaventure.You may recall my having mentioned it in this column.The event was to have a two fold purpose.It was first of all to be a part of the CSDA new approach to promoting youth philately However, one of the primary reasons for holding such a show away from the city of Toronto, was to appease the Quebec stamp dealers.The latter were on the verge of forming their own association and breaking away from the Toronto run CSDA.The CSDA now has a relatively new executive which includes people from other areas of Canada besides Toronto.Gary Lyons from the Maritimes and Maria Botman of Lighthouse Publications of Canada, whose Canadian headquarters are located in Montreal, are Stamp corner By Peter McCarthy two examples of the change.As far as the show goes, it wasn’t all that bad.There certainly was a good selection of dealers to choose from.Whether they were all interested in the promotion of youth philately is a subject that is somewhat questionable.I certainly did meet some very nice people while I was there.One in particular was Roy’s Stamps of Kitchener, Ontario.He went out of his way to please young and old alike.However, there were others that were there to make every nickle and dime they could, regardless of how it was done.In some cases, it was observed that people were treated with downright rudeness.While the better dealers don’t hesitate to hang their name signs over their booths, there are others that can’t be bothered to put out the expense for a decent sign.It’s my opinion that the CSDA should make it compulsory for each of their members to have their names hanging in plain view for everyone to see.It might make some of these Post Office Box dealers think twice about how they treat potential customers.There is to be another such show in the spring.I’m hoping that, with the view of promoting youth philately, the CSDA will sponsor and encourage young people to exhibit on a larger scale than what was on display last fall.THEATRE LAC BROME PRESENTS THE LITTLE PRINCE m EVENINGS, 8 p.m.December 26 to 30, January 2

thing.” “It’s all very simple, really.One side wants Quebec to be mostly French.” "That’s the P.Q., right?” “No.That’s Alliance Quebec.The English side." “The A.Q,?Then the P.Q.must want it mostly English.” “No.The P.Q.want it entirely French.” “Then which side runs the government?A.Q.or P.Q.?” “Neither.That’s Boubou Bouras-sa.He wants it to be entirely French outside and mostly French inside.” “And the P.Q.side is against that?” “So is the English side.” “Both sides are on the same side?” “Boubou doesn't like it either.” “Maybe you’d better start over again and speak real slow.” “It’s quite simple.The P.Q.passed a law banning English signs and the Supreme Court of Canada said Quebec could promote one language but it couldn’t ban another.” “So the P.Q.had to change the law?” “Boubou had to change the law.He banned English signs anyway.” “Even though the Supreme Court said he couldn’t?” “Well, they said he couldn’t but he could if he wanted to.” “But he didn’t really want to and so he did.” “Now you're getting it.You see, the minority are afraid of being swallowed up by the majority so they banned English on signs in Quebec anyway.” “The English are the majority in Quebec?” “No.The French are the majority.Five million of them to about Who’s who By TADEUSZ LETARTE half a million of us.” “Ten to one?And they’re afraid you’ll swallow them?” “Exactly.The majority in Quebec are really the minority in Canada, you see, and the minority is the majority so the minority insist their rights and freedoms be respected by the majority by denying the rights and freedoms of the minority.” “Er.you want another coffee?" “Which is really the majority and the Supreme Court ruled that the ban violated Quebec’s Bill of Rights and Freedoms so Quebec passed a new law letting it violate that Bill of Rights and Freedoms.” “We’ve got a Bill of Rights back in the States.” “We know.” “It’s a guarantee that people’s rights can’t be violated by the government.” “Ours isn’t a guarantee.” “So it’s more a Bill of Privileges?” “But the government can only violate parts of it.” “What parts?” “The important parts — freedom of speech, the press, religion.Stuff like that.” “I see.And that’s your simple explanation of all this French-English fuss?” “I could be wrong.” *** This is the time of year we do the books, add and subtract to see where we are, where we’ve been and where we’re likely to go from here.Back in May, when Tadeusz Le-tarte returned from the peace of South America, he found the Maritimes engaged in the Great Cucumber War — and it’s still going on.Newfoundland was threatening to cuke Nova Scotia with hydropo- nic weapons.Diplomacy had broken down.Newfie minister Charlie Power said he’d flood Nova Scotia with cut-rate cucumbers from the huge, government subsidized Sprung greenhouses "and nobody ’s going to stop us!” It was a proper pickle.Prince Edward, unmarried son of Queen Elizabeth, got drawn into the war by touring the glass houses with Dawn, unwed daughter of King Sprung.It looked for a while as if Newfoundland was getting all its own w a y but the tables were t urned last week when special agents succeeded in penetrating Sprung security, mixed herbicide with the nutritive spray and all the cucumbers died.Sprung is offering a $10,000 reward.Edward is not available for comment.There were plenty of other battles then, too — Gary Hart and Donna Rice, Jim Bakker and Jessica Hahn, Jimmy Swaggart and Debra Murphree, Oral Roberts and God, Bell Canada and the Cable and Wire Cutters Union, Malcolm Forbes and Elizabeth Taylor.Latest bulletin from that front is that Liz checked into a sanitorium to dry out again.In June, the Toronto Lucky Seven Economic Conference prompted Joe Clark to eject 17 (Count ’Em!) 17 Soviet diplomats for trying to get jobs in CSIS, the Canadian Silly Idiot Society.Moscow retaliated by booting out Canadian diplomats and withdrawing all the staff from the Canadian Embassy so that Brian Baloney had to cancel his planned trip to Russia (just before elections, too) or stay at a bed-and-breakfast and cook supper on a hot plate.Lots of fun with the spy game.Arafat just accused MOSSAD,

ANGELES (AP) — William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and other starship Enterprise crew members gathered in Hollywood to toast completion of nearly all filming for the movie Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.With only a few special-effects sequences left to be filmed, cast members sipped a mixture of champagne and green melon liqueur Wednesday.Joining Shatner of Montreal, who plays Capt.James Kirk, and Nimoy, who plays Mr.Spock, were DeForrest Kelley (Dr.Leonard McCoy), Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov) and James Doohan (Engineer Montgomery Scott).The subtitle.The Final Frontier, doesn’t mean that’s the end of the voyages of the Enterprise.Doohan says the actors have been signed up for Star Trek VI, and that the producer’s services have been enlisted all the way to Star Trek VII.NASHVILLE, Tenn.( A P ) — Des- pite continuing improvement in his condition, country music star Johnny Cash will spend another week or so at the hospital where he underwent double bypass surgery last week, a spokesman says.The performer’s condition was upgraded Wednesday to satisfactory from critical but stable, said Baptist Hospital spokesman Ai-leen Katcher.“He will remain in the intensive-care unit until next week for observation,” Katcher said, and probably be released sometime next week.The precaution is not standard in such cases, but is not unusual either, she said.Generally speaking, Cash “is doing a lot better,” Katcher said.“He was up and walking around again today.” Cash, 56, began having lung problems during the weekend after the surgery, but Katcher said they were under control.LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Na- tional Enquirer says it stands by its report that the mother of singer Engelbert Humperdinck’s daughter fears he is “battling the AIDS virus.” The newspaper issued its statement Wednesday, a day after Humperdinck filed a $50-million-US-plus libel lawsuit against it, saying the story in this week’s editions was false and malicious.“The article, written and researched with extreme care, was based on court papers filed in New York’s Family Court,” the tabloid said in a statement from its Lantana, Fla., headquarters.“The headline, Mother of His Child Claims in Court.Engelbert Has AIDS Virus, is totally accurate,” the statement said.“It was published only after being closely reviewed by our legal counsel.” The lawsuit filed in

Whatsisname.the Queen’s cousin, takes over the shop.(You remember George.He made his fortune some years ago by sinking all his prospects into jellybean futures and they paid off handsomely.) Reagan, you'll remember, invented 'trickle-down economics'.That seemed to mean that if the rich could only get rich enough, they'd give all their servants a raise.Then he slashed taxes, ballooned military spending, watched the national debt almost triple in size and blamed it on the media.Now George Whatsisname is so determined to reduce the national debt that he’s willing to borrow money to do it, He’s invented something called flexible freeze which is rather like a magic pair of pants — the fatter you get.the bigger they grow so your economic underpinnings are always decently clothed.We can only wish him the best of luck.As for Tadeusz Lctarte, he has only one New Year's Resolution — he’ll try not to take any of this (or himself) too seriously.Happy New Year to one and all Even Jim Lawrence MEL GIBSON MICHELLE PFEIFFER KURT RUSSELL A dangerous mix THE‘ CASABLANCA’ OF THE 80’s - Jay Scott, TORONTO GLOBE & MAIL 6.c‘rra,“JeTESTRIE 3050bou!

There’s no script, no plot, no one whispering cues in the wings.For the actors on the Loose Moose Theatre stage, every performance ends with a twist.When they open a show, they don’t know what the ending will be.The Loose Moose is not the home of a North American ruminant with an intestinal problem.It is an improvisational comedy troupe with a reputation that extends far beyond Calgary.Under the guidance of artistic director Keith Johnstone, the Loose Moosers serve up two hours of inspired mayhem each week.It’s all off-the-cuff — the audience provides the topics or first lines — and usually off-the-wall.CAN BE WHACKY “It does have a tendency to attract exhibitionists, people who were a bit wild in school,” says associate artistic director Dennis Cahill.The troupe has five core members.But the theatre has between 35 and 50 performers who drift on to the intimate stage of an old cattle auction ring every once in a while to strut their decidedly wacky stuff.There’s really no prerequisite.The performance itself is the test.MISFITS WELCOME “People that stick at it.they’re the ones who survive,” says Cahill.“We have taken in people who have no background in theatre.We’ve taken in quite a few misfits.” By misfits he means those whose off-beat approaches made them “unacceptable” to more traditional theatre companies.Those who were told they “wouldn’t make it.” "We had one fellow who was told he didn’t have it in him and maybe he should go to the Loose Moose,” Cahill remembers."He did and he did make it.Now he’s a successful stand-up comic in Vancouver.” Others from the Loose Moose herd have gone on to write for Saturday Night Live or have formed comedy groups of their own.Johnstone, a University of Calgary drama professor, started the company in 1977 with a group of his students.Theatresports — where teams of actors are awarded points for their improvisational work from a panel of judges — was just becoming popular in theatre circles.Johnstone wanted to develop the art.The Loose Moosers kept adding to their repertoire and never looked back.Over the years they’ve added a weekly show of bizarre skits they’ve written themselves.They also stage children’s plays and take bookings for conventions and school tours.PAINFUL GLEE A recent all-star night — the best of the self-penned skits — had audience members holding their sides in painful glee as two actors clad in women’s bathing suits and caps gave an on-land display of synchronized swimming.The men’s hairy legs twirling less-than-gracefully above a concealing brocade curtain evoked such mirth that one spectator shouted, “Stop! Stop! Oh please .(uncontrollable laughter) stop!” You have to wander a bit to find the Loose Moose.The 240-seat playhouse is tucked into the corner of a sprawling building beside one of Calgary’s airport hotels.It’s easy to miss the tiny sign giving directions.But when you walk through the door, you know you’re entering the rather absurd Loose Moose country.It’s hard to miss the hulking moose head staring at you with slightly crossed eyes.I TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY.DECEMBER 30.1988—5 Chabot - still plays great pool at 85 years young by Claudia Villemaire RICHMOND — Brilliant blue eyes and a ready laugh are his trademarks.Standing with his shoulders thrown back, straight and proud, the ever-present pool cue held at an angle, Ulderic Chabot gives no hint to his competitors of his four-score years and a bit more.That’s right, Mr.Chabot, as he’s affectionately called by young and old, will be 85 next birthday.“I started playing pool, billiards and snooker when I was eighteen.That’s the only sport I know or care about and I think that’s what has kept me alive and active too." he chuckles.Chabot, who’s business career took him back and forth across this province for more than fifty years claims he never worked for anyone but himself.A BIT OF A REBEL “You know I guess I was kind of a rebel in my time.Being raised in a tiny village east of Quebec you can imagine the idea of having a travelling salesman in the family didn’t suit my very Catholic parents.” Apparently playing pool began when the senior Chabots sent their rebellious son off to school in Quebec.“You could say I had a shortage of religion.You know, the idea of repititious prayers seemed silly to me.I asked my mother how she would feel if I fell on my knees at her feet and recited the same silly prayer hundreds of times.Of course she couldn’t encourage me in that line of thought being a deeply religious person herself.But as the years went by and she realized I had turned out to be an honest man she did relent some.” arrangement If a person like me could promise to supply several different items at the same time, that was speeding up service and as you know, the customer has the last word.If he gets better service, he’ll be back.” THE FAMILY FOLLOWED A few years later Chabot married.“I was 33 years old when I made the leap, but you know,” he laughs, “I think I'd be more apt to bypass the legal entanglements now and do as soo many young people do”.“I guess I like my freedom too much.I never was too strong on being tied down.” But eventually four children came along.And inevitably the Chabot sons joined their Dad, learning the father’s secrets about wholesaling.Soon the Chabot family were out in the hinterlands selling electrical appliances to retailers.Today, both sons, Michel (Mike) and John are successful entrepreneurs in this field thanks to the inroads their father blaztd so many years before.BUT THERE’S ANOTHER TALENT Chabot’s second love is music.His daughters, Micheline and Diane, fondly remember one epic holiday they spent with their Dad as he made his rounds on the Gaspé penninsula.“You know, the people then, in those areas, saw few strangers.So aside from really liking my Dad, his arrival at any village was almost like a small festival,” Micheline recalls.“We would often have dinner with a client then stroll to the local pub oar tavern.There was always a piano and very often a fiddle.My “When it comes to religion / talk directly to the ‘Manufacturer’./ don’t believe in all these ‘jobbers’ in the religion business.” So classes suffered.“They had a lovely pool table in the school and my professors would find me more often than not during times set aside for prayer or religion, practicing at that table, learning to play the game that would be a major part of my life,” he explained.Playing billiards, pool and snooker soon became Chabot’s main hobby as his career as a salesman developed.A NEW FIELD “You know I bought and sold gold for seven years.I would buy where I could find it and then off it would go to the Canadian Mint.” But his greatest achievement was developing what today is an integral part of retailing - wholsa-ling.“Back in the thirties I began buying direct from the manufacturer.That was a new idea.Most retailers also bought from manufacturers and often it wasn’t the best Dad could pick up a tune as quick as a fellow could whistle or sing it.We girls sat on each side of him on the piano bench and he would play and sing until the wee hours.” “Dad never drank alcohol but on that special trip I remember the piano top being loaded with drinks his friends would buy in appreciation.” POOL IS TOPS “But I live to play pool,” he says.And that’s exactly what he does, every day he can.Local pool halls and drinking spots where there’s a table all form part of his rounds each day.“I love the game,” he says.And literally hundreds of young folks can attribute their knowledge of the game to some patient rounds with Mr.Chabot where lessons were expertly camouflaged by the former champion.“You know, I have never been caught up in a quarrel or worse - not even once through the years,” he says."But 1 never played for money either,"he adds, stating that’s where most of the arguments get started.“You know, when you spend a lifetime staying in hotels and rented rooms, a fellow has to find some way to pass the time.I never drank nor played other sports.And most hotels have a bar equipped with a pool table.So that’s where I find the physical and intellectual stimulation I need to relax and enjoy life.” For the past fifteen years the Richmond region has grown accustomed to seeing this gentleman turn up day after day wherever there’s a pool table and a few friends waiting for a game or two.We found him at one of his favo- rite haunts, the Brasserie Richmond.“I like it here," he laughed."There are lots of young people tra veiling in and out who will play a game with me.1 love to asses their ability and although I wouldn't say this to anyone else, I like to encou rage them with a few wins.” “This is my life and I have lots of friends and friendly competitors too,” Mr.Chabot said with a twinkle in his eye.5 RhCORD PHOTO GRANT SIMKON 8-TOWNSHIPS WEEK-FRIDAY.DECEMBER 30, 1988 Patronage: The oldest political profession By Eric Siblm The Spoils of Power: The Politics of Patronage by Jeffrey Simpson (Collins) - $27.95 (hardcover) - Louis H, Lafontaine, government leader of the United Province of Canada in the 1840s, reportedly spent every day of his mandate selecting from an endless torrent of favour-seekers a long list of judges, militia captains, potash inspectors, and the like When Brian Mulroney took power in 1984, the Conservatives simply plugged a data base into government computers which would blip out a detailed breakdown of 3500 positions coming vacant.Patronage has come a long way since the time of Lafontaine, when politicians could speak the word without a shred of shame.More recently, it’s become a shadow concept periodically thrown into relief by an orgy of appointments.Every now and then an otherwise respectable politician goes out on the town spending public pesos like a hosed sailor, mixing with cronies, contacts, and contractors, only to wind up splashed across the morning papers.THE POLITICS OF PATRONAGE In Spoils of Power: The Politics of Patronage, Jeffrey Simpson pulls Canadian patronage from the shadows.Simpson, The Globe & Mail’s Ottawa columnist, is one of the country’s most sober political scribblers.Like some Prairie puritan he looks far and wide for patro- nage, and low and behold, finds it everywhere.But Simpson is no moralist.“Patronage,” he writes, “by offering benefits to people in all regions, has helped to steer Canada away from politics based on race, religion, or region, which would have led to unstable coalition governments.” Beginning with the Conquest, when Canada itself was the spoils of power, Simpson skillfully threads patronage through the course of Canadian history.The genius of John A.Macdonald, for example,lay in his ability to cobble a motley group of men from disparate communities into a solid political party.This he did with the trusty glue of patronage.“The allure of patronage,” notes Simpson, “enticed men into politics; its dispensation strengthened their loyalty.” World War One proved a trying time for such nation-building, not because civilization was committing suicide, but because of the advent of a politically neutral civil service.The Civil Service Act of 1917 managed to establish merit as the mam criterion for civil service appointments.But the reform came at a time of burgeoning provincial power.With constitutional responsibilities for highways, resource development, and social legislation, the provinces woke up to find hordes of job-seekers and contractors knocking on their doors.PARTY FAITHFUL CLAMOURED FOR SPOILS Thus begins a dreary chronicle in the provinces of porkbarrelling, ^aÊjSMjangsgiliBBBBSMSBBBa Season's Greetings to all Our thanks to all our clientele for their patronage in 1988 and a warm welcome in 1989.the Direction |r Jack W.Lee, pres.SUPER CHINESE BUFFET Christmas Eve Christmas Day New Year's Eve New Year's Day 11:15 a m to 7:30 p m 4 p.m.to 8:30 p.m.11:15 a m.to 12:30 p m 11:15 a m to 11 p.m.Welcome to the King of Chinese Food 4 dining rooms to serve you better.tollgating, kickbacks, and treating (the purchasing of votes for alcohol).Newly-elected governments of every stripe are regularly besieged by the party faithful clamouring for spoils.In general, ethical standards improve moving westwards across the nation : what has been standard fare in the Maritimes would have been chased out of town on the Prairies.When the reader finally makes his or her way across the country, with Simpson tediously devoting a separate chapter to each province in westward order, it is with the relief of a weary traveller impatient for Vancouver The influence of admen, poll-stars, and television in the 1960s enabled political leaders to communicate directly with voters and paved the way for a new kind of political participation.The Trudeau and Mulroney years have seen the “psychic patronage” of personality and ideas replace material patronage as the prime mover of public participation.Increased reform and bureaucratization have further limited patronage possibilities to all but the political elites, and Simpson refers to a gap opening up between these elites and the rest of the populace.With less possibilities for patronage, Canadians have become less tolerant of it.Yet Simpson argues that patronage should not be excised from the body politic, just exercised more constructively.It is a failing of an otherwise discerning book that he doesn’t explain exactly how the spoils system might be put to good use.In the meantime, government computers are notifying the Conservatives of dozens of patronage appointments coming vacant, from the Freshwater Fish Marketing Board to the CBC, and the shady possibilities for rewarding political friendship.Excellent choke of wine, drinks and tropical cocktails 565-9333 2637 King West, Sherbrooke Free delivery 17 I Discount Guerilla television for teens A CBC Pilot - pilot 1 By David Lang VANCOUVER (CP) — Break out the flak jackets and the camouflage pants — guerrilla TV for teens is coming to the CBC.It’s a new show called pilot 1.aimed at teenagers 15 to 18 and designed to look more like a rock video than a television program.“It’s guerrilla television if you will ; it’s raw,” said producer David Marsden.He promises a free-flowing show that jumps from a blast of music to a jolt of comedy to a whisper of gossip in no particular order.Pilot 1 premiers Friday, Jan.13 at 11:30 p.m., taking over the slot held by Good Rockin’ Tonight.GRT moves to Thursday nights.Nothing about pilot 1 fits the traditional CBC mold.Its five hosts have little or no television experience — one used to be a waitress and another delivered pizzas.Three of the writers are 18.The show wib be shot in a mock-up of a dingy warehouse and audience members will be allowed to wander the set during shooting.“It’s about young people talking to other young people and using our show to do it,” Marsden said in an interview in Vancouver, where pilot 1 will be produced.“It’s about everything of interest to people who are between the ages of 15 and 18," said Marsden, who is in his 40s but refused to give his age.Marsden has been this route before, starring in his own CBC pop music show called Music Hop in the 1960s.He’s also worked extensively in radio, creating CFNY-FM in Brampton, Ont.NEW WAVE But he said the music on pilot 1 won’t necessarily be Top 40.“We’re talking here about the musicians who are just starting to break through, the young musicians who deserve.the opportunity to be seen on network television,” Marsden explained.There will also be comedy sketches, news of interest to teens, celebrity interviews, and “streeters” where teenagers in cities across Canada will be asked questions on topics ranging from movies to sex.Speaking of sex, Toronto-based sex expert Sue Johansen will also appear on the show offering tips for teens in a piece called Sex With Sue.In his effort to give pilot 1 its “raw” look, Marsden ran newspaper ads seeking “gutsy, iconoclastic, extroverted” people to serve as hosts.He ended up interviewing 650 applicants.Among those finally selected was Karen Campbell, 20, a blonde green-eyed Brigitte Nielsen loo-kalike who recently gave up a career in high fashion modelling.“It wasn’t challenging enough,” Campbell said of the modelling, “How can you improve your picture?I mean you’ve got a face and so what, it could be in today and out tomorrow.” But she said in an interview that pilot 1 offered the challenge she wanted.“We’re required to perform, to articulate, to use our mind, maybe have to dance on the show, sing, we are expected to be creative.” Stephen Coulson, 23, was delivering pizzas when he heard about the pilot 1 talent call.“I was attracted toit because I was told I would have an enour-mous amount of input within the bounds of good taste.or outside the bounds of good taste,” said the dour Coulson, who was born in Manitoba but raised in Britain.“It’s infinitely better (than pizza delivery).You meet a better class of people.” Midnight Caller - hot, new drama Jîî=fair=i«T^ir=Jf=»r=lr=lli=]f==lr=lF=I LOS ANGELES — LIKED STYLE The show was not considered anything special until network executives were suddenly excited by the pilot — a Miami Vice-like hour of dark streets, blue fog, hip music and directorial pyrotechnics.“The style was very much taken from the content,” says executive producer Bob Butler.“I mean — after hours, a little more honesty, a little more directness, a little more desperation in the way people connect, facelessness as a part of why and how they can be honest.” Soon tagged as a “hot” new drama, Midnight Caller can be thought of as a second generation descendant of Miami Vice.It’s a lot of flash, but it tries to add some meat.Killian, styled as urban folk hero, is meant to provide the substance, mostly through wordy confrontations with criminals and his rather sophomoric soliloquys on the radio.The show, however, is struggling to avoid a psycho-of-the-week formula, as seen during the first two episodes when jilted lonely hearts made murder threats on Killian’s show, thus sending him into action.FORCED CHANGES The third episode of the series showed signs of improvement, even though the changes were forced by objections from activists in San Francisco.The controversial episode attempted to put a different spin on a TV AIDS drama by focusing on a bisexual male who knowingly continued to infect his sexual partners.Protesters argued that it simply depicted AIDS carriers as irresponsbile hedonists.In the original conclusion to the show, the AIDS carrier was given a stock send-off : blown away on the sidewalk by a former bedmate.In the rearranged ending, Killian risked his own life to save the man, despite the fact that the man had given the virus to Killian’s exgirlfriend and made her pregnant besides.The next week, Killian was jumping in front of guns again, this time saving a lover from an implausible situation involving paid assassins.Each week, in fact, the climax has seen guns pointed or fired, and the fourth episode didn't even have flashy good looks — it was just a string of cliche cop-show situations.Midnight Caller may have the network's backing now for a full season, but it needs to sharpen up.Like any worth-while action series, it will have to figure out how to be tough without being stupid. TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY.DECEMBER 30, 1988—7 Holiday fare - a good book - new music - a video Last Notes from Home Kaleidoscope By RICHARD LONEY Last Notes From Home by Frederick Exley (RANDOM HOUSE): $26.75, 397 pp.When the opening characters of Frederick Exley’s Last Notes From Home appeared in Rolling Stone magazine in the midseventies it appeared that readers were going to be able to revel in the completion of the trilogy begun by the upstate New York writer with A Fan’s Notes.The second volume, Pages From A Cold Island had followed the experimental nature of Notes, and many years later it appeared that the magazine excerpts signalled that Exley was finally wrapping up his often-hilarious, frequently poignant, but consistently readable autobiographical journeys.Ex-ley’s notes and pages move across a broad spectrum of American geography, ranging from Water-town, New York, to the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, to the coastal island off Florida that gave the middle book its title.The promised serialization in the rock fanzine suddenly dried up, however, with no indication as to its writer’s disposition.until the publishing over a decade later of Last Notes From Home.INTRODUCING SEAMUS FIN-BARR O’TWOOMEY The ribald early chapters are here, perhaps slightly reworked or even expanded, in which Exley (he is the obsessive hero of his own work, while insisting that “Ex” is never to be confused with the book’s author) is aboard an American Airlines jet en route to Oahu, Hawaii, to oversee the final days of his older brother’s losing struggle against cancer.His admission to the paradaisical islands is disrupted by the intrusion into his solace and desire for privacy by the pushy, raving lunacy of one Seamus Finbarr O’Twoomey, a maniacal Irishman who leads a tour of demanding Irish pilgrims to the tourist islands.The other distraction for Exley is the ripe presence of the lucious Robin Glenn, a stewardess whose mi-nisterings to the passengers on the flight are made agonizingly difficult by the unreasonable demands of O’Twoomey.Exley struggles with the unwanted social discourse of O’Twoomey, on the one hand, and a nag-gingly insistent sexual desire for the delectable Ms.Glenn, on the other, while his narration plumbs the depts of nostalgia about his odd relationship over the years with "The Brigadier”, as he calls his career-army-man brother.Exley enters into spirited dialogues with such figures as marshall Matt Dillon from the television program "Gunsmoke ”, addressing him as “Matt”, or “Big Jim” as he uses him for a sounding board for his reflections.The inevitable death of Exley’s brother sends him reeling back through the years to the Watertown of his teen period to attempt to come to terms with the crippling mental burden of having to bury his brother.In his confessional, rhapsodical autobiographical style, Exley switches from the days of his youth in upstate New York, to the present of the novel, as his arrival in Hawaii leads to the unavoidable task of dealing with the Brigadier’s wife and further embroilments with the sexy Robin Glenn and the irascible O’Twoomey.Past and present are so intertwined in this book that the reader’s only guide is the narrator, Exley, himself, whose anguish with the life the Brigadier led in the American army, Vietnam, male/female relations, or family strife, takes him through every human emotion.The emotional rollercoaster-ride of Last Notes From Home makes for gripping, compelling reading, verifying in part at least, the claim that Larry McMurtry made for Frederick Exley being considered “in a rough way, a kind of American Dante”.RECORD REVIEWS END OF YEAR ODDS N’ SODS Does a sequel movie feature retreaded songs on its songtrack?Iron Eagle II (CBS), the Lou Gos- .J Ht' sett, Jr., aerial spectac, has at least one genuine song to its credit, with newcomer Henry Lee Summer’s “If You Were My Girl”.Other tunes are sequel-like, such as Doug & The Slugs doing “Tomcat Prowl”, a remake of “Gimme Some Lovin’”, by the Insiders, and Loverboy refugee Mike Reno on “Chasing the Angels”.In the wha-tever-happened-to category, Rick Springfield attests to his longevity with “I Need You”, perfect screen-fill fodder.Heaven 17 Teddy Bear, Duke & Psycho (Virgin—A&M) In between machine-gunning drum-machine assaults, these cosmic cowboys prove that you don’t have to have a pencil-thin Prince moustache to be terminally hip.Heaven 17 epitomizes the avant-garde British scene which seems to have a penchant for crossing George Michael’s sincerity with Madonna’s way with a song.The result is a great deal of throwaway eighties rock — heavy on style, bereft of emotional or song content.The Wagoneers Stout and High (A&M) Progressive country — Jason & The Scorchers and Steve Earle — is one thing, but a Nashville album produced by Motown bassist Emory Gordy, Jr.is a coun- neers may well start a new trend on one of the classiest labels in the record biz — they

that he hit with his smash “Sai- try horse of a different color, pardon the bad pun! The Wagoneers extend thanks to Buddy, Hank and Elvis, and while those masters of the formative years of rock and country-rockabilly have their stamp all over this record, Emory Gordy filters out the more rustic elements of western music on this laid back album.Sounding a bit like the earliest Buddy Holly recordings that the Lubbock, Texan made with Bob Montgomery, the Wagoneers manage to work in A&M boss Herb Alpert’s mariachi trumpet on the vamp of their title track — a challenge to Mexican General Santa Anna shouted from the stout and high walls of the Alamo.The Wago- ling”, it might be expected to be under the tutelage of keyboard wizard Michael Omartian Omartian produces, even cowrites three of Cross’s songs, but so far only “Never Stop Believing” has been accorded a modicum of FM attention.Christine McVie’s vocals on this track and Michael McDonald’s on another, are not enough to float Cross back up to the ethereal regions of earlier hits.Back Of My Mind is comfortable, easy-listening, light rock, but there can only be one or two more near misses before Christopher Cross becomes a permanent depository in the discount cassette bins.VIDEO SCREENINGS Masquerade (MGM-UA VIDEO! Although this little melodrama takes several liberties with the old Double Indemnity ( 1944) plotline, it becomes almost too clever for its own good — suggesting that the creative team responsible had not quite the advantages of the Billy Wilder film that succeeded thanks to Raymond Chandler’s helping to re shape a James M.Cain story.Masquerade suffers from a made-for-TV style, and the presence of fresh young faces Meg Tilly and Rob Lowe fails to quite pump enough air into this one to keep it afloat.Tilly plays a fabulously wealthy young heiress in Gatsby country, somewhere in the Hamptons, perhaps, of Long Island, who is set upon by a fortune-hunting Lowe, who is a noted yachting figure.The movie also has an ugly stepfather angle, in that Tilly ’s mother was saddled with a swaggering, despicable husband who insists on hanging around the estate long after the mother’s demise.The stepfather is killed in suspicious circumstances, and while Lowe and Tilly fall in love, complications arise.Doug Savant plays the stay-at-home young cop who turns out to have carried a hate for Tilly all through their teenage years, and he brings about some surprising plot twists in this movie about “masquerades”.Somehow the glamour of Tilly’s 200 million never quite makes an impact on the sets chosen for this movie, and the sudden reversals of plot seem to smack of afternoon soaps, and a redolence of hoakum.Stronger young actors than the pretty Lowe and the wide-eyed Tilly might have breathed a bit more believability into these characters, but then Barbara Stanwyck.Fred McMurray and Edward G.Robin son were the cast for Billy Wilder’s 1944 film, so it must have been the screenplay that made that one work so much more successfully than Masquerade.(VIDEO AVAILABLE AT LE CLUB VIDEO, QUEEN STREET.LENNOX-VILLE, AND AT TREIZIEME AVENUE.SHERBROOKE.) 8—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1988 WHAT’S ON Notes Today is almost the Dawn of another year.To some that means making resolutions they never keep, to others, a new year means it will take more determination keeping heart anad soul together.As far as we’re concerned, keeping you folks up to date in the entertainment field will be a priority.But don’t forget, it’s a team effort.So as we all prepare to usher in the New Year we hope you’ll find a bit of entertainment listed on these pages that will help you forget your troubles for a while, whatever your choice.Happy New Year Eastern Townships folks.First thing this week will be a bit of radio talk.Sometimes a quiet listen in a cosy chair does lots for the soul and CBC radio and sterio are airing some specials with that in mind.Saturday, Dec.31 at 11:30am, while you're wondering what to have for lunch you could give an ear to a program called Double Exposure New Year's Party bringing forecasts and predictions from newsmakers across Canada and abroad.Then, to help set the mood for 1989, CBC presents, by popular demand, Max Ferguson with some of his favorite music.But you’ll have to either see the dawn,(romantically of course,) or get up with the chickens because the Max Ferguson Show airs from 6:05 to 9am.And don't forget the New Year’s Messages from the Governor General and Prime Minister at 8:10am, January 1.CTV begins the holiday weekend with a laugh in My Secret Identity, a half-hour comedy/adventure series starring Derek McGrath and Jerry O’Connell.On CTVSunday.January 1, The Man in the Brown Suit starring Hue McClanahan, Tony Randall, Edward Woodward and Stephani Zimbalist.is a two-hour mystery By Claudia Villemaire movie about a young American tourist looking for adventure and finds more than she can handle.Showtime is 9 to 11 pm.And of course, the Rose Bowl parade followed by the Rose Bowl football game gets underway at 1:30pm.On Vermont ETVJanuary 3 The Last Frontier tells the story of John Stoneman and members of the Foundation for Ocean Research observing the world of the coral reef.On Sunday at 4, Dick Cavett hosts a special comedy of Groucho Marx and Jack Benny called Legends of Laughter.At 7:30, -

10—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1988 Travel — ___ftej «ecam The value of a cruise vacation mainly satisfaction NEW YORK — Getting your money’s worth is a year-round proposition, so efforts to get the most for the dollar shouldn’t take a holiday when it comes to planning a vacation.Hidden or unforeseen expenses can spoil a vacation, a fact that makes the all-inclusive nature of a cruise even more appealing for the value-conscious traveler.The price of the cruise covers not only accomodations, meals and entertainment, but in most cases includes free or sharply discounted air fare to and from the ship.Add to these such complimentary shipboard features as fitness agendas, recreational activities, enrichment programs and cocktail parties, and the value becomes even greater.Daily costs for a cruise average $170 to $190 per person, including air fare, with a price range of as little as $135 per day or as much as $2,680.If a seven-day cruise is compared with a typical resort vacation — and all the costs included in the cruise are reasonably budgeted for in the resort vacation — the cruise vacation generally winds up being less expensive “See the accompanying chart ” Cruise passengers continue to reap dividends of their vacation in- •- m.jnfifcrcra ¦ f/*- f , ./* -ié'4 FiPm.JiM J ^41 'Iff***''*'' r’ vV vestment throughout the sailing.Shopping is one of the most popular activities on a cruise because of the opportunities for big savings.Ports of call on many cruises — such as St.Thomas, Nassau, Hong Kong and Singapore — read like a bargain hunter’s atlas.Passengers also can count on getting good value on local merchandise — including clothing, china, crystal and art objects — at ports around the world.Cruise vacationers don’t even have to leave the ship to find good buys.Most ships offer competitive prices on such sought-after items as perfume, liquor and jewelry.The value of a cruise vacation, moreover, is not always expressed in monetary terms.People who value their privacy, for example, usually can find some nook aboard ship where they can catch up on their reading or just gaze dreamily out on the ocean.When ships call on a port, the privacy seekers can head for a secluded beach to spend the day.In addition, several cruise lines cater to the fantasy of living on a deserted island by including a call on a private island in the Carri-bean or the Bahamas.Passengers can imagine themselves to be Robinson Crusoe, although that luckless sailor didn’t have a band, scuba diving equipment and a shipload of food and drink to sustain him.Cruise vacations also have an appeal for people who value their time and creature comforts.Because the ship serves as their hotel, cruise passengers are spared the hassle of checking in and out of hotels and packing and unpacking when traveling to different destinations.Similarly, after a hard day of sightseeing and exploring, it is rejuvenating to be welcomed aboard the ship by a crew who knows you and is trained to cater to your needs.The ultimate test of value is whether the person is satisfied, and cruises traditionally have produced the highest vacation satisfaction levels in the travel industry.According to a market study conducted for CLIA, virtually all cruise passengers express satisfaction with their vacation experience.Nearly 50 percent of passengers said they were “extremely satisfied” with their cruise, compared to 25 to 29 percent for other vacation types.Given all the benefits of a cruise vacation, it may be appropriate to change the adage of “what you see is what you get” to “when at sea, see what you get.” LAND VS.CRUISE VACATION MID-CONTINENT GATEWAY 7 NIGHTS 7-NIGHT CRUISE BAHAMAS RESORT EASTERN CARIBBEAN F I X E D BASE PRICE (MODERATE RATE) $595.00

“Rome is rotten to the core,” says Italian historian Luigi Firpo, who is not sure the Eternal City can or should be saved.Firpo, a 73-year-old Republican party member of Italy’s parliament, made tempers flare by suggesting the Italian capital is so incapable of tackling its biggest problem — traffic pollution — that the state should cut off funds to restore the city’s monuments.He even recommended moving the capital elsewhere.Firpo, who comes from the northern city of Turin, was a prime mover behind the defeat of a parliamentary motion to give Rome the equivalent of an extra $181 million Cdn in 1989 and 1990 for restoration work.“Rome is suffocating in car exhaust fumes," said Firpo.“In a situation like this there is no point carrying out prestigious restoration projects.” SHRUGGED OFF Firpo’s broadside was dismissed as totalitarian by Rome’s Mayor Pietro Giubilo and with the literary equivalent of a shrug by the city’s leading contemporary novelist, Alberto Moravia.“Rome has always had the privilege of being a living ruin," Moravia said.But Firpo’s attack may well have struck a chord with restorers.They say they are fighting a losing battle to protect one of civilization’s great open air museums from some of the filthiest fumes and most chaotic traffic in Europe.Experts have been pleading with the city council not to put the gilded bronze equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius back in the open after eight years of analysis and restoration.They say the pollution would destroy it.The 1,800-year-old monument, a symbol of Rome’s pride and the only equestrian statue to survive intact from antiquity, had stood since 1538 in the Piazza Campido-glio, the square on the Capitol Hill and seat of city government.SUGGESTS COPY “Either we have to learn to look after our environment or science has to come up with a coating that can protect the statue,” said Ales-sandra Melucco Vaccaro, who directed the restoration work.“Until then, it should be kept in a museum." She has suggested replacing the void in the square with a copy of the statue.Some city politicians are outraged.“I challenge the affectations of a few cultural mandarins and their contempt for the people,” said Gianfranco Reda vid, the city councillor responsible for cultural af fairs.“The feelings of the Roman people have to be respected,” said the councillor.“Marcus Aurelius must go back to the piazza.” Romans, it might be said, have not always shown the greatest respect for their surfeit of monu ments.USED THE STONE The Colosseum became an enormous quarry in the 15th century, when huge blocks of its travertine stone were carted off to construct St.Peter’s Basilica and other buildings.Today it stands blackened by exhaust fumes on the edge of one of the city’s busiest road junctions.Other great monuments of imperial Rome, including the Arch of Constantine and the columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius, have undergone extensive restoration after acid rain turned much of their marble to plaster.They are back on display after years under protective green netting.And, around the column of Marcus Aurelius outside the prime minister’s office, the cars again are parked at its base.Adriano La Regina, chief curator of Rome's ancient monuments, has said that unless the environment is cleaned up many of the marble treasures may have to be covered with see-through plastic.“There would be no need for protection if acid rain was élimina ted,” he said.“It not only damages the monuments.It also damages Romans’ lungs.” TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY.DECEMBER 30, 1988—11 The Little Prince, heartwarming and eloquent - plays to capacity crowds at Theatre Lac Brome by Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — The afternoon matinée, when the theatre comes alive with the laughter of children, is the best time to catch Dave Clarke’s adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic.The Little Prince at Théâtre Lac Bromein Knowlton.The timeless story, which has been playing to large crowds daily since December 26 will continue from January 2 to 8.Saint Exupery’s message intended for children only (grownups wouldn’t understand), was delivered with tenderness and eloquence by Emily Feldman in her role as the little prince.Feldman, who recently toured regional schools in Youththeatre’s “Krystal Dreams ”, held her young audience spellbound as she demonstrated “all that is truly essential in life is invi- sible to the eye”.Children joined the fantasy of taming the fox and sheltering the flower the young prince had befriended.No grownups could be expected to understand the importance of a single rose in a garden or of one shining star in a constellation, the Prince expounded.The Little Prince devotes itself to the importance of each of God’s creatures.The holiday presentation is directed by Eileen Sproule, making her third appearance at Theatre lac Brome.After a hat-trick of successes with the Generic Theatre at last year's Quebec Drama Festival, Sproule will present Waiting for Godbout at the Elysée in January.Tickets for The Little Prince are available at the door.Matinées begin at 2 daily.Evening performances begin at 8.JÜ % mm- # I 4 Emily Feldman and Robert Higden succeed very well Saint Exupery play.The Little Prince, at Theatre Imc in portraying the tenderness and eloquence of the Brome.For a limited time, YOU CAN FLY FOR LESS.9000S - $28,995* V The lofty, 1988 Saab 9000, the magnificent Swedish driving machine with the peerless flying heritage is now available for as little as $28,995.The 9000 Turbo is going for only $36.995.This price will last only as long as the cars do, Quantities of the 9000 S and 9000 Turbo are limited.If you’ve been thinking Saab but adopting a wait and see attitude, now is the time to make a move.Come by and buy a Saab soon.fcr v Emily Feldman as The Little Prince and Robert Higden, The Pilot, are winning the hearts of young theatre goers as The Little Prince continues during the week of January 2 to 8 at Theatre Lac Brome, Knowlton, “DOC” Gerard Inc.“DOC” Gerard, president 695 St-Jacques St.GRANBY, QC DESIGNED 10 DRIVE LIKE NOTHING ON EARTH Sales — Rental — Service (514) 378-5546 12—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1988 This week's TV Listings for this week's television programs as supplied by I MiÉMflliMriiiMliiiiia While we make every effort to ensure their accuracy, they are subject to change without notice.STATIONS LISTED Channel Station 03 CFTM e CBFT IB CFCF o WCAX 09 WVNY Q WPTZ SB ETV O CBMT MM O CHLT FC O WMTW TSN O CKSH PC y Saturday SHIRLEY TEMPLE BLACK, as Grand Marshal, joins ABC sports commentator Keith Jackson and Rose Bowl Queen Charmaine Beth Shyrock for ABC’s live coverage of The 100th Tournament of Roses Parade and The 75th Rose Bowl Game, Monday, Jan.2.Black was also Grand Marshal of the 50th Rose Parade in 1939.IK ; !

The man has no idea of what’s been going on around him the last couple of years.As the World Turns: James Slenbeck will stay dead the next time a hundred different people try to kill him.The Bold and the Beautiful: There will be two babies born on the show—one named Barbie, the other Ken.Days of Our Lives: Patch and Kayla will win a million dollars and donate the money to charity.Eve will have a religious experience and become a nun.General Hospital: Olivia will come back from near death and become the mayor of Port Charles.Loving: Hopefully ABC will realize their mistake and take this show off the air instead of Ryan's Hope.One Life to Live: Bo will find the love of his life.Tina will get a job and hopefully the show will get some new writers.Santa Barbara: Cruz and Eden will live one week without a life-threatening event hanging over their heads.The Young and the Restless: Nina will take some nice pills and be the toast-of-the-town.Victor will have a coronary from stress overload, due to too many women in his life.If I could have one wish for the New Year for the soap opera world it would be that Ryan's Hope would stay on the air.rmv mvm Dale Evans’ horse was named
