Ü WÉÊÏi i s Going Viral Ellen Goldfinch T|his New Year’s Eve will mark the 40th anniversary of ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin ’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest (starting at 10 p.m.).That’s the name of the show now and it certainly is a mouthful.You’ve probably noticed that there’s a lot more Seacrest and a lot less Clark as the years go by and for some of us, that’s a good thing.New Year’s Eve is usually a time when I invite friends over for supper and bubbly and we toast the New Year in without a crowd around us.That’s the way I like it and that’s the way that 1 hope it will be this year.As a native New Yorker, however, i am absolutely and irrevocably compelled to watch the TV broadcast of that glittering ball dropping in Times Square and year after year, I yell out the countdown just as I did when 1 was a kid in our seventh floor apartment.My neighbours here are lucky that I don’t bang a pot with a spoon out the window the way that I was allowed to do back then.Traditions die hard.ABC has kept up its New Year’s tradi- tion of trotting out the miraculously preserved Dick Clark who, in spite of a stroke and enormous difficulties in speaking, is right there with effervescent Ryan Seacrest toasting the New Year from New York City to Los Angeles.Would Lady GaGa have made it on American Bandstand?Of course she would, and she will be entertaining the crowds at Times Square.Included in the broad- cast is a history-making duet (that’s how the promo reads) between Carlos Santana and Justin Bieber.People my age, can’t you just hear Ed Sullivan introducing that act: “And now, here’s something for both the youngsters and their parents.” We live in a culture that shuns old age, something that I’m getting a little uncomfortable with as I get older, so I’m not sure how I feel about having to look at the hair job and face job that Mr.Clark presents while he struggles to get a sentence out.Does this make me ageist?It’s difficult to decide whether Dick Clark’s annual appearance on New Year’s Eve is a profile in courage or an extreme example of how celebrities such as Cher, Joan Rivers, and Dick Clark fight age with plastic surgery and present us with frighteningly expressionless faces that are far from entertaining and border on the horrific.Katherine Hepburn was a marvelous example of an actress who allowed herself to age in the public eye and did so with a style that outdid Clark, Rivers and Cher by a long shot.Seeing Dick Clark try to look forever young is comparable to spending New Year’s with Great Expectations’ Miss Hav-isham in her 40-year-old wedding dress.I only let myself peek at the “ageless one” just before midnight.Other New Year’s Eve options: If another New Year’s with Clark and Seacrest doesn’t appeal, PBS is broadcasting two specials, Hugh Laurie/Let Them Talk: A Celebration of New Orleans Blues (including Dr.John, Tom Jones, and Allan Toussaint) at 9 p.m.and at 10, Coldplay with a special New Year’s Eve Austin City Limits that features songs from their latest album.For country music lovers.Fox is broadcasting American Country New Year’s Eve Live, beginning at 11 p.m.Here’s to a great New Year, readers, and happy watching.Ellen Goldfinch may be reached at radiomother@yahoo.ca QNEK 2012 auditions for the 19th theatrical season MATTHEW FARFAN ¦iv-.'* müÊà w 1 Award-winning QNEK Productions, international theatre company in residence at the Haskell Opera House, will be holding auditions for the 19th season entitled “Good Things Come in Small Packages.” On January 6, Friday, 7 to 9 p.m.auditions for Ruth-less! The Musical, by Marvin Laird and Joel Paley, directed by Susan-Lynn Johns and the iconic musical The Fantasticks by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, directed by guest director from NYC, Phil Gosselin, will be held at the First Universalist Church hall, Main Street, Derby Line (across from the Irving gas station).QNEK Artistic Director, Lynn Leimer will not be directing this season.Anita Morin, QNEK music director and Janice Gluck, QNEK pianist and conductor will be affiliated with both musical productions.The third show, GORGONS, was moved to the 2012 season from 2011.Ruthless!

C’mon, I know you were singing it in your head).The following is a list of the web series and online films that stood out to me over the past year.Sometimes riotously funny, sometimes heartbreaking and thought-provoking, these videos entertained me and I’m only too happy to share them with you again.My Drunk Kitchen - I don’t think there is a single YouTube personality I like more than Hannah Hart.This witty, hilarious, gastronomically-challenged New Yorker captured my heart and split my sides with her inebriated online cooking show throughout the year.I defy you to resist her quirky charms, her terrible puns and the strength of her iron liver.Watch this delightful show at http ://hartoandco.com.Gray Matters - Mental illness is a hard subject to broach, harder still to make funny without belittling or stereotyping those who suffer from it.Gray Matters strikes a delicate balance between comedy, poignancy and the frustrating - at times highly disturbing - realities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.Follow up-and-coming architect Leo as she struggles to overcome her mental illness in the face of personal tragedy, career opportunities and romance at http://gray-mattersseries.weebly.com.Whitestone Motion Pictures - Dark, cautionary fairy tales and fables are the Gray Matters Air Farce gang returns for New Year special without Roger Abbott By Bill Brioux The Canadian Press When the Air Farce gang returns with their latest year-end special this Sunday night on CBC, viewers will notice some key changes to the troupe.Gone is beloved co-founder Roger Abbott, who passed away last March from complications with leukemia.He was 64.Fellow founder Don Ferguson had already discussed carrying on the 40-year-old comedy troupe’s tradition of creating New Year’s specials when Abbott’s death brought urgency to those plans.“We wanted to give the new guys — Alan Park, Craig Lauzon and Penelope Corrin — the opportunity to carry on with the Farce and shine at least once a year on television,” says Ferguson.Joining Air Farce’s comedy cast for the first time Sunday night is Arnold Pin-nock, an actor known for dramatic parts on Canadian series such as “Combat Hospital” and “The Listener.” He also boasts Second City, “Life with Derek” and other comedy credits on his resume.A visit to the Toronto set two weeks ago to witness the taping of the New Year’s special found Pinnock fitting in nicely.He was busy playing a 6-foot-2 Oprah Winfrey, and, in another sketch, getting even crazier as Mike Tyson.“We all remember Tom Cruise jumping up and down on the couch but Oprah lets it go too,” says Pinnock.In one of those crazy showbiz twists, the actor has actually been with the Farce before.Bom in England but raised in Scarborough, Ont., he studied radio and television arts in college and landed a gig as an intern at CBC while still in his teens.One of the first shows he was assigned to as a production assistant was “Air Farce,” then just beginning a 16-year run as a weekly CBC comedy series.“Don and Luba and Roger and all the gang were so kind to me,” says Pinnock.Ferguson remembers him back then as “a bright light and a welcome sight on the floor.” Dietmar Niemetz, still an Air Farce technical producer after 18 years, told Ferguson at the recent tapings that “Arnold always did a terrific job, whatever it was he had to do.” When Pinnock left his bottom rung CBC gig after a year to pursue his dream of acting and comedy, he kept in touch ConTd on page 12 main offerings from this Atlanta-based production company, that hosts many of its amazing short films on its website.From the light-hearted tale of Bobby Watkins (who steals his mother’s day planner so everyday can be his birthday), to Heartless - the sad origin story of the Tin Man, to the distressing fable of human trafficking and the child sex trade told through The Candy Shop, the short films from this company are some of the best I’ve seen in years.Do yourself a favour and visit www.whitestonemo-tionpictures.com.The Covies - The residents of the sleepy Irish coastal town of Westport experience miracles, tragedies, hallucinations and other odd events when a naked stranger named Patrick washes ashore.Is he the iconic Saint Pat reincarnate?Are the people in this town going mad, are there truly miracles at hand or is there something sinister going on?This bizarre series is at times ftmny, quirky, touching and downright freaky, but it’s a great story.Check it out at www.youtube.com/TheCovies.Take Me Back - This Montreal-made science fiction series from Seth Mendelson and Joe Baron won me over not only for its homegrown talent, but also its Seth Mendelson r*- great storytelling.Yet another dark, quirky and mysterious series - 1 realize now that I’ve given you a few and that you may be judging my tastes - the series follows young A1 who is abducted by a strange man in a mask, and seemingly replaced by a double.Time gets a little wonky, and you’re never quite sure what you’re seeing in this series, but it all plays out beautifully in a series whose quality belies its modest NFB budget.This series, along with many others I’ve discovered from Montreal, has made me optimistic about local talent.Theater and film students especially, take heed! And tune in at http://www.tmbthe-series.com.With these end-of-the-year offerings 1 wish you all a very Happy New Year, and hope that together there’ll be plenty more online goodies for us in 2012.GLIMPSES OF THE PAST S’ r mm t w * * John S.BmnyiicJhiuk.Slwrhrooke Historical Society On January 1, 1949, MP Maurice Gingues, Judge Dorais Panneton, Archbishop Irénée Pinard, businessman J.A.Savard, Mayor Alphonse Trudeau, MNA John S.Bourque, Canon Napoléon Codère and Judge Césaire Gervais met at the Social Club for the traditional New Year’s Day tour.The event began at 10:15 a.m.with citizens dropping in to offer municipal elected officials their wishes for health, happiness and prosperity, and closed with a speech broadcast over the radio airwaves.EXTEND THE HOLYDAY SEASON Visit the bilingual exhibition The Christmas nativity scene, a tradition with many faces, presented in the Andréc-Désilets room of the Sherbrooke Historical Society.275 Dufferin, Sherbrooke Information : 819-821-5406 info@histoiresherbroQke.com U SOCIÉTÉ D’HISTOIRE DR SHERBROOKE www.histoiresherbrooke.com Page 4 December 30 - January 5, 2012 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com TALK 2011 ibies!

Putting a figurative gun to my head I’ve selected the following works as outstanding, both for their writing and for the stories they tell.Collectively these novels attest to the thriving state of contemporary crime fiction.If you missed them earlier, here’s a chance to catch up.Philip Kerr Field Gray Building on his fine Berlin Noir series, Philip Kerr’s latest work.Field Gray, features German ex-cop and PI Bernie Gunther.Not surprisingly, as the book opens Bernie is already in trouble, arrested by Americans looking for gun smugglers off the shores of pre-Castro Cuba.Returned to Germany to face investigation for war crimes, Bernie’s actions will be scrutinized by a pair of American prosecutors who have little sympathy for, and apparently even less understanding of, the exigencies of war.The balance of the tale spans a twenty-year period from the mid-30s to the mid-50s, covering the buildup to World War II, the war itself and finally its aftermath.Layer by layer, Bernie’s actions during the war are laid bare to the reader, who cannot help but ask himself, what would I have done in that situation?Peppered with dark humour.Field Gray explores the moral landscape of the Second World War, where it seems no one can lay claim to the high ground.Bernie’s character may be ambiguous, but his questions are.probing and he is not easily put off from examining in painful detail the intersection where conscience and compromise collide.Kerr explores this moral no-man’s-land, offering penetrating insights without ever lapsing into an apologia.James Lee Burke Feast Day of Fools In a sleepy Southwest border town, aging sheriff Hack Holland is confronted by an account of a man tortured to death in the desert.The evidence is shaky: the sole alleged eyewitness is an alcoholic ex-boxer known for having visions.But Holland is old school, and reluctantly drives out to look into things for himself.The barren landscape harbours a rogues’ gallery of misfits and miscreants, including a mysterious Chinese woman known for sheltering illegals and a born-again lay preacher wrestling with demons of his own, and other, even less-welcome species inhabiting the remote region.To make matters worse, Holland’s female deputy is making unmistakable moves on the aging law officer.All in all, it’s shaping up as a really bad week.We have come to expect finely crafted suspense tales from this award-winning author, and his latest work is no exception.Gritty, graphic and intense, Feast Day of Fools is a powerful, unforgettable tale of a man who, haunted by his late wife’s death, is unable to forge close relationships with the living.Burke expertly mines his own considerable knowledge of the American Southwest to create a stark backdrop for a chilling tale that will remain with readers long after they’ve finished this book.Val McDermid The Retribution Jacko Vance is a brutal psychopath who murdered seventeen girls and a police officer years earlier, and forensic profiler Dr.Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan helped put him in prison.Facing a lifetime behind bars with no chance of parole, Vance promised himself he would escape.Now he has made good on his word and is looking to take revenge on Hill and Jordan.Factor in the inevitable screw-ups, a crime reporter determined to get a scoop, and obstructive senior officers more interested in departmental budgets and image than keeping the streets safe, and you have a lethal mix.The Retribution is a superbly textured novel, as good or better than any crime thriller since Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs.An exquisite blend of pure thriller and an evocative tale of the nuanced relationship between Hill and Jordan, who cannot put to rest the differences - and attractions - between them, even as their lives are on the line.The characterizations are spot on, the dialogue is utterly believable, and the plotting is intense, with enough suspense to satisfy even the most jaded thriller fan.A riveting tale by a master of the genre.Carl Hiaasen Star Island How do you spell bizarre?Twenty-two-year-old pop star Cherry Pye is attempting to resurrect her flagging career after her latest round of drug and alcohol abuse.But things go wrong when her look-alike stand-in is mistakenly kidnapped by an obsessed paparazzo seeking a private photo session.The task facing Cherry’s handlers is somehow to get her back without the public — or Cherry — tweaking to her existence.Fresh, in-your-face, and definitely over the top.Star Island is an example of Carl Hiaasen at his best.A deft blend of farce with social satire, if your idea of a fun read is a bit of madcap mayhem you’ll find his writing as addictive as a bowl of potato chips.Denise Mina The End of the Wasp Season In a story that could have been ripped from the headlines, investment banker Lars Anderson hangs himself at the family home as his shaky investment empire comes crumbling down.He leaves behind a neurotic, drug-dependent wife, a daughter curiously detached from reality, and a neglected, bitter son who’s fallen in with very bad company at a pri- THE END • OF THE , WASP or?A L' f \ N 1 vate school in Scotland.An attempted burglary results in a woman being savagely beaten to death in her home, and it falls on DS Alex Morrow, pregnant with twins, to solve both cases.Complicating things, the sons of an old friend of Morrow’s may be involved.An intricate tale of abandoned dreams and bitterness, and neglect, avarice, and deceit unfolds.There are no heroes in this story, and few villains; but there are many victims.A cautionary tale, not so far removed from everyday reality as one might hope.A guiding theme underlying Denise Mina’s fine crime novels is why people, especially damaged people, are who they are and do what they do.The End of the Wasp Season is another fine addition to her already impressive portraits of life on the margins of society.At times gritty and intense, Mina’s insights are penetrating and evocative, and few readers will come away unmoved.Ian Rankin The Impossible Dead Detective Inspector Malcolm Fox and his team from Professional Ethics and Standards find themselves in the coastal town of Kirkcaldy, investigating some of their own.Days earlier DC Paul Carter had been found guilty of demanding sexual favours from several women and Cont’d on page 6 SH0WTIM65 EFFemVe DEC 30th 2011 TO JAN 5th 2012 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL ( I3+, violence) No passes.fri-Thu: 1: 15.415, 7:15.10 15 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: PROTO-COLE FANTÔME (13*, violence) No passes.FrEThu: IOO, 4:00, 700, 1000 MISSION NOÉl (G) Frt-Thu: 12:55 l€S AV€NTUR€S D€ TINTIN (G) No passes FN-Wed: 11 : IS.I -SO, 425, 7:00, 9:35; ThU: 11:15, L50,425.700 l€S AV€NTUR€5 D€ TINTIN 3D (G) No passes FrFThu 11:45, 2:20,455,730, 1005 CH€VAID€GU€RR€ (G) No passes.Fri-Thu: 1210, 3:25, 640.955 ALVIN €T L€5 CHIPMUNKS: L€S NAUFRAGÉS (G) Fri-Wed 11 30, 12:00 1:50, 2:20, 4:10, 4:40, 6:45, 905; ThU: 11:30.12:00.I 50.2:20, 4 10, 440, 6 45, 935 LA SAGA TWILIGHT RÉVÉLA TION PART I (G) FrFThu: 3:40, 655 MILL6NIUM: L€S HOMMES QUI N'AIMAIENT PAS LES FEMMES (I3«, violence, sexuality) No passes.Frt-Thu 12:00, 3:20, 6:40, 1000 SHERLOCK HOLMES: LE JEU DES OMBRES (G) No passes FrEThu: 12 30, 3:30 6:30, 7 15, 930, 1015 JEUNE ADULTE (G) Fri-Thu: 9 40; NOUS AVONS ACHETÉ UN ZOO (G) Digital movie.No passes Frt-Thu: 12:50,3:45.6:50.945 CRÉPUSCULE 3D (G, not recommended for young children) Frt-ThU: 1:10,3:50,7:10,9:50 LE DIABLE EN MOI Thu: 900 TV Listings TALK Page 6 December 30 -
