Parents who insist on using these seats should be urged to put a helmet on their child. Even a hockey helmet will, to some extent, protect the child from head injury.” 365-6011 1248 -3ed $1.

Hana Sammer had been sleeping in the back seat of the couple's car when her husband stopped for gas in Schenectady, N.Y. But the Montreal man had almost reached the Canadian border when he noticed it - had been more than four hours since he had heard a peep out of his wife. Mrs. Sammer, tapping her foot back at a Schenectady motel, got left behind when, like her husband, she slipped out to the washroom on their gas stop. He, of course, climbed back into the car without checking the back seat and drove off. Wonder what they said to each other when they were reunited six hours later?

Best known for his ‘ghost play HORNBY ISLAND (CP) — Sammy Sammy is a back: woods poet and entertainer. But more than that, he's a romantic and an institution to residents of this island near Vancouver. “Seventy-three and the strongest man you'll ever see,” says Sammy Sammy, greeting a visitor and flexing his biceps. “Go ahead, feel it.” Born George de Papa in Nanoose on Vancouver Island in 1908, Sammy Sammy — “I think ’'m more Sammy Sam- my than I am George de Pape” — has been a logger, cowboy, homesteader and storyteller and has done whatever else he needed to do to feed a wife and 16 chil- dren in the last half-century. He returned to Hornby Is- land tg. years ago and is probal he se sas Nr his “ghost play,” a one-man show he used to stage during the tourist season, the first girl I had ever known. : “We stayed like that for 2% hours, That's all I ever saw of her. Around daybreak my foreman found us and told me to get a move on and I told Anastasia I'd be back to get her one day to marry her. She gave me a lock of her hair. “And that was the last I Feels. kinship to newspapers NEW YORK (AP) - Like any good newspaper man, Mason Adams, alias Charlie Hume, mourned the death of the Washington Star. “The idea of any news- paper folding upsets me,” said Adams, who plays the compassionate managing editor on Lou Grant. “I felt terrible for the loss of a great newspaper... all_.those.. jobs.” — pearerts * TPhe--closing~of -The- Star was a story, and there may my consciousness about newspapers. I'm much more aware of how stories are covered.” n Adams says there is little difference between him and the character he plays. “The writers have trans- lated Charlie into my person- ality. I don't have the know- how to be a managing editor, _hut if I were thrust into some. of those situations, I- would act the same way. pf) “Like Charlie, I think I'm lon, glost love Using rough-hewn, life-size dolls which he carved and costumed and moved with strings and pulleys, he pro- vided all the voices for the tale, which he swears is true. MOVED TO ALBERTA “In 1921 I moved to Al- berta to become a cowboy. It was near a place called Buck Lake (100 kilometres south- west of Edmonton). I was just a young man. Handsome. And strong. Stronger than I am now. “Well, one night the corral broke and the foreman told me to go out and find the loose cattle. “I rode all night and I was coming home singing a cow- boy song and I was riding beside a river, when I looked down and there was a horse tied to a tree. “I went down to investi- -gate and thre, by the river in the moonlight, was a beau- tiful red-haired girl sitting on a rock. “She said her name was Anastasia. She had run away from home because her fa- ther was treating her badly and I'll tell you, I fell in love with her right there. “I said everything was all right and that I would pro- tect her, and she put her arms around me. She was near starved. She said she had been lost for near three days. e CLUNG TO EACH OTHER “So we sat there on the rock by the river in the moonlight with our arms around each other and we loved each other. We didn't dono harm or anything sinful — in those days, people were innocent, beautiful. We just clung to each other. “| wanted to marry her. I told her so and she told me she loved me too.

Its setting and tone come from the news- paper world. The program offers TV's best dramatic forum for exploring conflict- ing sides to contemporary issues. é NOMINATED FOR EMMY Two weeks ago, Lou Grant, beginning its fifth season on CBS, received 18 Emmy Award nominations, including one for Adams as best supporting actor. Adams brings a keen per- ception about the newspaper business to his role. He prepared by visiting several newspapers and sitting in on their morning story confer- ences. “The give-and-take I saw was really stimulating," HE SAID. “I took away a lot of subtleties that helped.” He says the role “raised itive to the people a- round me.” : KS INTEGRITY Having spent time with several managing editors, Adams says he feels a special responsibility to maintain the integrity of th job. ¢ “Early on the writers saw Charlie as a comic buffer between Lou (the city editor played by Ed Asner) and Mrs. Pynchon (the publisher played by ancy Marchand). “There were times when Charlie came across as a fool. I said to earn respect and credibility, the managing editor has to be like the major-general in an army. The character soon achieved -its current image.” Adams, who recently went _ to China to‘film a TV-movie for Robert Halmi_ Produc- tions, had a long career. in radio before achieving pop stardom on TV. But even before Lout Grant, his voice, which Adams says sounds “like a broken clarinet,” was a TV commerical fixture. “I even have imitators. We'd be watching TV, and my wife would say “i didn't know you did that one.’ 'd tell her, I didn't it wasn't me.” NOTICE TO. ‘PARENTS * School District No. 9 (Castlegar) The Board of ‘School Trustees -has ap- proved the following “Professional , Days” up to December 31, 1981: TEACHERS IN ATTENDANCE ONLY © 3 a 2.

I went back to Alberta to marry Anastasia, though, just like I said. But I couldn't find her. RAISED FAMILY “Anyway, in 1929, I mar- ried a pretty Russian girl born in China. She was a good woman, beautiful."Her name was Tatiana. We raised 15 children. She was a beau- tiful wife. . “In the 1950s, I was rich, I had a logging camp. But things got bad. I lost four of my boys. And there wass no money. I did: some more logging but my beautiful wife got tired of living as a pi- re oneer and moved to the city. “After my wife left me I started remembering about Anastasia. So I ‘began to think I would invent a ghost show to remember her by. “So I put this show on for the tourists in the summer every day. In this show, Thave a girl rise out of a coffin and wail, ‘Sammy Sammy, you didn’t come back to me! I love you, Sammy!’ “So I said to Anastasia’s ghost that I would marry her, and I did. I had Preacher Spookemgood marry us and later on, when the show got really popular, I added some more characters. : Neighbors object to statues WEST VANCOUVER (CP) — Danny Todesco's fan- tasy world is really a night- mare, say his neighbors. They don't like the statues of Snow White and the seven dwards, Adam and Eve, Cherubs, and a few lions, along with the miniature Fraser Canyon and a fish pond stocked with 17,000 fingerling trout that adorn is yard. The statues are “detract- ing from property values and they are offending us... in vivid, living colors,” says Miles McCarron, Todesco feels it’s all lovely and symbolizes the status befitting a wealthy contrac- tor. But 20 of his neighbors .presented a petition to coun- cil stating the statues are “inappropriate for any lo- cation in West Vancouver and are especially unsuitable for public display in a resi- dential area.” Mayor Derrick Humphreys said, however, that the stat- ues are within Todesco's property line and do not vio- late any bylaws unsuitable for public display in a resi- dential area. A native of Venice, Tod- esco moved in six years ago. The former owner dlready had installed the miniature Fraser Canyon along the western end of the yard anda small lake in the back. Todesco embellished thé lake with a fountain and stocked it: with the trout, then spent $20,000 spreading his fancies around his prop- erty. ; The statues stand atop lestals along the brick fence Todesco built to enclose * his-lot. ; CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 16, 1981 C3’ over 50 varietios i FRIDAY, SEPT. 18 West Coast Seafoods HOMEGOODS FURNITURE WAREHOUSE Tues. - Sat.. 9:30 - 5:30 China Creek “Drive a Little to Save a Lot” YOU GAN LOSE 177025 ‘POUNDS ~— IN JUST 6 WEEKS!
