Dysart has lived here for years, but he reverts quite rapidly to his Maine roots. Come to think of it, he would sooner pass for a New Eng land country lawyer than the senior partner in the spiffy firm on NBC's L.A. Law. Dysart, a handsome, easy going man with a quick smile, has spent his 30-year career on stage and in films. Though unaccustomed to the atten tion that goes with a role on a popular television series, he says he is delighted to be part of the critically applaud- ed new show produced by Hill Street Blues creator Steven Bochco. But most of the plots so far have centred on the tribula- tions and trials of the young- er members of the firm, and Dysart wishes cheerfully that his Leland McKenzie character had more to do. He didn’t now when he accepted the part that “senior part ners don’t go to court.” GIVES ADVICE Instead, McKenzie spends most of his time dispensing sage advice to the younger set and presiding at the firm's daily staff meeting. “The chair's very comfor- Econo Spots You can save up to 80% on the cost of this ad! 365-5210 THE HIGH ARROW MOTOR INN Proudly Presents THE INCREDIBLE table, but I'm trying to find different ways to sit in it so I look a little different each time,” Dysart says with a laugh. “There's really nobody ona peer level to talk to. The Yuppies talk to the Yuppies. They (the producers) have got to do something about that, and I'm sure they will, somewhere along the line.” Dysart offers an enthusi- astic “yeah!” when asked if he would like to have some of those steamy love scenes like the rakish divorce lawyer played by Corbin Bernsen. L.A. Law has raised eye brows for its double en tendres and explicit bed scenes, but that doesn’t faze Dysart, who says he is “all for it, 100 per cent. “The use of language, I don't care about that one way or another — but the subject matter and the way that people can react and the way stories can be written so people can react to each other the way they do in life, I think is brilliant.” When Hill Street became a success, there was much talk of in-fighting among the cast. But Dysart said no such problems have arisen on the L.A. Law “I hope it’s not boring to say that everything’s fine,” he says. “There are no rifts. Everybody seems to be all right.” ESCHEWS GIFTS. He said that at Christmas one of the cast members wondered if the actors should give gifts to each other. Dy: t offered, McKenzie-like, Hollywood amusement park build around the image of Pee-wee Herman? Is this guy serious? Yes and no. Maybe. I don't know. What was the question? Enter the gravitational pull of Pee-wee Herman and everything is soon tipped on its side, painted lime green and speeding off on a cartoon highway. Look out for the tennis-playing dinosaurs. Don’t step on the dancing lollipops. And when you say the secret word, get ready for the room to erupt. Aaaaagh! Aaasagh! Honk! Honk! This is Pee-wee's Playhouse, the most frenzied fun ever to light up Saturday morning TV. And with a cultish crowd of adult viewers poking each other in the eyes and ribs, it's only a matter of time before the show appears in the after-supper hours or after midnight. “Everybody on my street loves your show,” says Roger the Monster, composed of one bloodshot eyeball and the struggling canvas-covered legs of a stuntman underneath. “We used to be afraid of it until we understood it.” HE'S BETWEEN Pee-wee himself — the comedian known in another life as Paul Reubens — says in an interview that. his appeal lies in his in-between-ness. “Kids can relate to me, you know,” says Pee-wee, bedecked as always in the nerdish outfit beneath rouged cheeks and a butch-waxed crew cut. “I'm somebody sort of in between them and their parents.” Yeah, maybe. Or maybe he's just in between your ears — a teasing, confounding character you can never get to the bottom of. “Pee-wee is an in-between being,” ue analyst of the unconscious where images come and go in dreams, “It's a chaotic place,” Short ‘added. “I can see why some people, watching him; would feel almost psychotic, “The reason we like him is that he represents the creative inner aspect of ourselves. The reason we dislike him is the same.” DOES WHOOP Pee-wee laughs it all off, spurting his two-tone whoop at just the right moment, crashing serious thought and inane mischief into ea¢b other so that all that is left is, well, Pee-wee. “CBS told me I couldn't do three things: I couldn't stick pencils in potatoes, I couldn't leave the bathroom with toilet paper trailing on my shoe, and I couldn't say ‘T'll show you mine if you show me yours.’ “But we got to do it anyway. I got my way. Ha Ha!” Pee-wee's had his way ever since Reubens began to market him about six years ago. Taking the liveliest character from his comedy club repertoire, Reubens spun Pee-wee into a hip theatre show in L.A., then a U.S. cable TV event, a promotional road show and finally a hit movie. Meanwhile, he refused to appear in public as anything other than Pee-wee Herman, and information about Reubens began to dry up as Pee-wee became “real.” OWN CREW CBS came up with the idea for a children’s show. But once Pee-wee took over — bringing an off-screen crew of music video producers, kitsch collectors and retro-funk designers with him — it was Hello Pee-wee and Why Didn't We Think Of That! Saturday morning TV, a bland expanse of cuddly creatures and super- eco robots in virtual 30-minute Susanne Short told Rolling Stone - a borderline space between normal and weird, that world ials for ly had an old-fashi ed live host again. Critics crazy over Los Lobos intervention of Prime nahnter Brian Mulroney in a court case involving Walter Wolf, Brisco said negative effects to his party were disturbing but he emphasized it was “something I abhor.” “A lot of members who work hard on behalf of their constituents may feel the negative repercussions,” he said. “Unfortunately people often paint all politicans with the: same brush.” Brisco agreed that the best measure with which to deal with the scandals was a thorough and open investigation. i “It's a depressing sort of circumstance to see this kind of thing develop,” said Brisco. “The matters are, after all, in the hands of the RCMP. “Let the chips fall where they may,” he said. Despite condemning the alleged actions of some of his party members, Brisco is abstaining from joining a backbench group of the Tories called “Monday Club” which fs seeking remedies for the recent plague of scandals. But Brisco the sub- on the right-wing backbench caucus of the British Tory ‘party, saying it is not a sign of division in Conservative party ranks. Brisco said it is the right of the backbenchers to organize themselves into a pésition of unified strength CALGARY (CP) — Rick Hansen has been surrounded by crowds on a lot of stages recently, but on Tuesday it was the Man in Motion’s turn to go out and meet his audi- ence, Hansen spent, an hour roll- ing his wheelchair along a line of other wheelchairs at Calgary General Hospital. He stopped to shake hands, pat shoulders and chat. “How you feeling?” he said to one elderly man. “you've got to make the best of it, I'll tell you.” ing at another chair, which would simply add to b rather than weaken the party. ‘The Monday Club says it has no intention of seeking a change in party leadership as a solution to public dissatisfaction, despite a 23 per cent, third-party ranking in the polls. Hansen leaned over to listen to quiet words, then said: “We're getting there, Harry, we're getting there. I'll make it if you will, OK?"

Last year, Mandy headed for Hollywood. She'll return to Dallas around the end of March, Handler said. ROSE'S RESTAURANT An article in the Feb, 22 Castlegar News on the Koot- enay-Columbia Child Care Society's new book and toy library implied that the li- brary is open. In fact, the library is in the organizing stage and won't be open until Census shows increase. QFTAWA (CP) — The population of Canada hit an timated 25,675,200 Oct. 1, Statistics Canada said Tues- day. This was an increase of 222,900 from the previous year. But, quarterly figures show, the increase repre- sents a continuing slowdown in population growth that started in 1981, compared with 281,300 that year and 263,700 in 1984-85. Ontario was leading the country in population growth at 124,400 thanks largely to immigration from other provinces. Newfoundland, losing 1,200, and the Northwest Territories, losing 900, were the only provirices with a net loss of people during the pre- vious 12 months, due largely tthe end of March or early April. The library will be avail- able to all Castlegar area residents, as well as family day cares and nursery schools. The cost will be $5 for a society membership fee and a one-time $10 admin- istration fee. The toys will be education- al toys of good quality. The books will be geared to children under three, but there will also be adult re- source books on parenting, disabilities, dealing with han- dicapped children, as well as resource books for nursery schools. A Vancouver Foundation grant will be used to buy the toys and books, and a United Way grant will be put toward operating costs. Hansen is nearing the end of his trip around the world by wheelchair to raise money for spinal cord research. Ina speech at the hospital, he told about 400 patients and staff from around Cal- gary of the despair he felt when,an auto crash seemed to end everything for him-at age 15. “I was bitter, angry, de- pressed,” he said. “It took a long time for me to let go of all the things I could no longer do and stop comparing myself to other people. “I had to learn not to give up in the face of adversity and not look back at what can never be, but to start looking forward to what can be.” BECAME MARATHONER Hansen graduated in physical education ye the University of British umbia and has become one at the best wheelchair mara- thoners and basketball play- ers in the world. “I encourage each and every one of yqu to shoot for your dreams,” he said. Hansen stops at hospital “All you have to do is reach and persevere. Shoot for the stars and if you reach the moon, be happy about it.” Heather Burlock, in a wheelchair because of a dis- ease of the nervous system called Friedrich’s ataxia, lis- tened to Hansen and told a reporter: “I'm afraid my eyes are a little wet. It’s nice to see somebody with his problems come back from it like he has. He really shows spirit.” Dave Troute, 19, broke his back in a car accident about a year ago, just when Hansen was beginning to make the news with his round-the- world marathon. He said Hansen has been an inspiration during long sessions of lifting weights and learning to crawl across a mat. Earlier Tuesday, Hansen spoke at Sunridge Mall, a shopping centre in the:city’s northeast where Leah Abrams, 11,_ pr a che- que into his hand.She said she and her friends at St. Martha elementary and ju- nior high school collected the money because “we want him to know we are behind him and that we care.” Hansen stays on in Calgary today before resuming his journey to the West Coast.
