The shows will take place mostly at arenas and amphitheatres. Perfor- mers will draw straws to determine who closes each night, and everyone is taking care of their own sound and lighting. The tour was suggested by Gary Kurfirst, who manages all the artists. “Usually, we like to headline our own shows. We don’t like to go with other artists. We like to call the .”’ Ramone said.

For the first six months of 1990, net income and revenues are expected to increase over results in the same period of 1989 while earnings per share are expected to be essentially even, the company said in a news release. For the second quarter ending July 30, UtiliCorp, the parent company of West Kootenay Powerr, projects net income of $4.8 million, compared to $5.5 million in last year’s period, and primary earnings per common share of 12 cents, compared to 21 cents in the 1989 quarter. Operating revenues are estimated at$154 million, versus $134 million in last year’s period. All figures are in U.S. dollars. Average common shares outstan- ding increased from 20.8 million in the 1989 second quarter to 23.4 million this year. The increase is primarily due to a public offering of two million new shares in December 1989, For the six months ending June 30, UtiliCorp expects net income of $27.8 million, compared to $23.1 million in the prior year’s period. Earnings per share are estimated to be $1.03, the same as in the 1989 period, Operatin- 8 revenues for the six months are Projected at $432 million, versus $354 million. Six month results include first time contributions from two winter peaking gas utilities, Michigan Gas Utilities acquired in May 1989, and the West Virginia Power Gas Service operation, acquired in January 1990. In a presentation to members of the Columbus, Ohio, financial com- munity, UtiliCorp chairman and president Richard C. Green, Jr., noted that second quarter financial results typically are the lowest of the year, due to normal seasonal declines in gas and electric sales. In addition, the decline in results from the prior year’s period is attributable to. the need for rate relief in key juri rate relief for our largest division, Missouri Public Service, in the fourth quarter of 1990." Missouri Public Service has requested an electric rate increase of $25.5 million annually. It is needed primarily for. ongoing renovation of the "s Sibley Gi i and the sale in January of income producing natural gas reserve proper- ties. “We anticipated declines in second quarter results,’’ Green said. ‘‘We believe we are still on track for a solid year, provided we receive adequate Station and increased costs of power purchased from other utilities. Hearings on the requested increase in ‘electric rates are scheduled in July and an order is expected from the Missouri Public Service Commission in October. Madonna cashes in By INA WARREN The Canadian Press. Dick Tracy — this summer's stylish, slam-bang movie — was produced and directed by Warren Beatty and stars him as Chester Gould's famous comic-strip gum- shoe. But pop singer Madonna is the one laughing all the way to the bank. The Disney movie also provides her with the best music video of her platinum career and should do a swell job of selling her new album, I’m Breathless: Music From and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy, Dick Tracy cost $30 million US, runs 100 minutes and features Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, James ‘Caan and a gang of other superb ac- tors disguised as plug-ugly villains out to rule an unidentified metropolis and destroy Tracy, the virtuous cop. And Madonna’s Breathless Mahoney, a sinful nightclub singer with a hot torch for Tracy, certainly won't hurt Ms. Blond Ambition’s future in Hollywood. With Vittorio Storaro’s silvery lighting lending her white flesh the allure of a moonlit lily, Milena Canonero’s slinky gowns caressing her assets and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics ladling some class into that bee- stung pout, Madonna’s a knockout. Her on-screen singing and strutting scenes go on for so long that sometimes they just about KO the mood of Beatty's short-of-terrific movie. ’ The movie’s best moments aren’t the hyped-up seduction scenes bet- ween Tracy and Breathless — not much happens other than a lot of heavy breathing — but the sweet and sentimental ones between the detec- tive and Tess Trueheart. Red-head Glenne Headly registers the right 1930s tone as Tracy’s shy but savvy florist girlfriend who'd like the crime-avenger in the yellow. raincoat and matching fedora to settle down to a police desk job. “You could have a wife — I meapra life,’’ says Tess, biting her tongue And to see Beatty, Hollywood's legendary loverboy, playing a shy, true-blue cop who always fumbles his romantic pitch to Tess, is sweet justice indeed. Another bonus is 11-year-old Charlie Korsmo as The Kid, the tough, freckle-faced orphan who pulls at the heartstrings of Tracy and Tess. Korsmo just about steals the movie. In the tradition of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and Stanley Kubrick's 2001, Dick Tracy will be remembered as a classic of cinema style. Batman, last summer's blockbuster, was a visual hodgepodge in comparison with Dick Tracy’s celluloid comic- book look.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY City ELWOOD VEITCH Castlegar businesses to join network Six Castlegar area business people have now joined the B.C. Trade Development Corp.'s electronic business service, the B.C. Business Network, the corporation says in a news release. “These business people are profiting through the competitive ad- vantage of having private subscrip- tions to BCBN,”’ said International Business Minister Elwood Veitch. “They now have the same full-time access to domestic and foreign business opportunities as their com- Ppetitors in our metropolitan centres.’’ Veitch, chairman of B.C. Trade, said BCBN has a total of 995 sub- scribers throughout B.C., with a majority of them outside the Lower Mainland. He said thousands of business people have been using BCBN on a part-time basis since the service was made widely available to the public in 1988 through nearly 100 chambers of and i offices. The minister said the names of private BCBN subscribers are kept confidential by B.C. Trade because subscribers view 24-hour access to the service as a source of competitive in- telligence. “This low-cost electronic service, which is the largest of its kind in Canada, links producers to markets, entrepreneurs to investors and ven- dors to customers, both inside the Province and around the world,” Veitch said. BCBN also lists extensive, up-to- date B.C. business information in- cluding a calendar of events, a sum- mary of business acts and regulations, a list of government financial i progi and i geographical and statistical mation about all parts of B.C. infor- OFF TO WORK Students in the charter class of Selkirk College's special needs career program strike a jubilant pose at the Castlegar campus upon completion of their studies.

Rail line to close OTTAWA (CP) — CP Rail can abandon a 300-kilometre section of rail between Penticton and Spences Bridge in British Columbia, the National Transportation Agency said. The agency concluded that the line — known as the Penticton Sub- division — has been uneconomic in the past and is likely to remain so. The line-handies-mostly shipments of pulpwood chips and lumber, more of which is being shipped by truck than by rail. The order to abandon the sub- division, including the Okanagan Falls Spur line, takes effect July 21. CP has also asked the transpor- tation agency for permission to aban- don CP's Castlegar-to-Midway line. CASTLEGAR SAVINGS INSURANCE AGENCIES LTD.
