Ottawa espionage; Starnes’ Take a pinch of George Smiley, a dash of “M,” a bit of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and you're still a long way from catching the flavor of John Starnes, Canada’s best- Memory of JohnLennon lingers NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Spiro drives his police cruiser past the old Gothic gateway of the Dakota Apartments in mid-town Manhattan and tries not to remember the night a year ago when he found his rock music hero there, crumpled in a heap, bleeding to death from gun- shot wounds. As he passes he also sees other fans of superstar John Lennon, the ones who bring flowers and notes for the former Beatle’s widow, toys for her son and cameras to record their visit. A year after his death, John Lennon is not forgotten — not by his fans, his family or his murderer, and cer- tainly not by those like Spiro whose lives collided with his in the last hours of Dec. 8, 1980. “The Beatle years were very happy for me,” he re- calls. “I was young and sin- gle, running around... being free. “Now, I don't even want to look at the Dakota. I see it and think how John had ‘just released that single, Starting Over. I'd thought, ‘Wow, great, he’s making a come- back!’ That's ‘what really hurts.” Mark David Chapman, the man..who killed Lennon, awakes each day at about 7 a.m..on the second floor of a cellblock at Attica state pris- on in northern New York state, where he works as a porter in a reception area, cleaning up after other pris- oners. ‘He returns to his call at about 5:15 p.m. Chapman's thoughts may drift to an album Lennon signed for him that later was found outside the Dakota by one Phillip Michael. He turned it over to authorities, who later returned it to him. Chapman wants the record back; he told his lawyer, Jonathan Marks, that it should be sold and the pro- ceeds donated to a worthy cause such as a gun control. Michael's lawyer refuses to discuss the matter. Chapman went to prison in August after he frustrated Marks's plans for an insantity defence. God, he told the judge, told him to plead guilty. He is serving a sen- tence of 20 years to life, with no parole for 20 years. But the defence psychiatric Reserve Your Christmas Party Only a few dates left open. EASTGATE GARDENS RESTAURANT 932 Columbia Ave., Castlegar 365-7414 report portrays Chapman as schizoid, tragically out of touch and out of control, who created a childhood kingdom of imaginary subjects and came to believe John Lennon had taken over his person-: ality. “I believe the guy was crazy; I think most people recognize that these proceed- ings were a shame,” said Marks, Not the officer who ar- rested him. “Not a wacko in my book, and I've dealt with plenty of them,” says Spiro, “He wasn't talking to walls or hearing voices. When we got to the station he called his wife, told her to get a doctor for his mother, to call the cops for protection, to not call the press in. I couldn't believe the guy was acting so rational.” Yoko Ono still lives in the Dakota with six-year-old Sean. Each time she comes and goes she passes over the spot, where she saw her hus- band fall. In the days after the shooting the 48-year-old ar- tist curled up in bed while fans who gathered outside . , sang Beatles songs. “At the time, I was saying, ‘I can't stand it.’ " She told Rolling Stone magazine. “(But) what if nobody had been there — how would I have felt?” She hs turned to work for solace, releasing one record album, a single and a video recording about her relation- ship with John. The cover of her album, Season of Glass, had a picture of John’s shattered spec- * tacles; one song was prefaced by gun shots, another by Sean saying “I learned this from my daddy, you know.” Her relations with the other three former Beatles remain tenuous. She was not invited to Ringo Starr's wed- ding in London in April, but she and Paul have joined forces in trying to buy back control of Lennon-McCartney songs. She consoles herself with the thought that “John left to become the Great Force... We're still a duet. He's doing what he can upstairs. And T'm doing what I can down here.” But she still feels his ab- sence. “Whenever I had a new song, I would be so happy, I would shot it to John - Now they don’t mean a thing.” In Hawaii, 8,000 kilometres away, lives another woman Evening of music for jazz lovers Jazz lovers will be treated to an evening of jazz Friday when from the “a Disneyland 11 Day Tour ~ Departing Dec. 19 Limited Space ~ Still Available!.-, “We visit: % Oregon * Reno %* Anaheim (six nights) * Tijuana, Mexico %* Sacramento * Bend DISNEYLAND AT SPRING BREAK Bus Tour and Fly Tour April 3 — Now taking bookings. - Dec. 27. 8 days. & ICE CAPADES SPEND New Years in Reno SPACE STILL AVAILABLE Colonial Inn and Casino. .

Nothing has been heard from Gloria Chapman since shortly after the shooting, and she has moved out of the Oahu condominium she shared with her husband, Mark. Although she has been offered about $30,000 “to share her memoirs,” her law- yer says-she has no plans to do so. The Sunday after John Lennon's death, more than 50,000 people came to Cen- tral Park near the Dakota for a vigil. Among them was an angry Bob Schulte, preaching gun control and handing out pamphlets. These days Schulte says he is reminded of the futility of his efforts each morning by radio reports of overnight murders. “Now, when I think of any- body I admire, I stop and wonder, ‘Is he going to be the next one? . . . Is somebody going to decide to get a kick out of killing Dylan?’ ” John Lénnon' has tasteful memorials. About 1.2 hectares of Cen- tral Park near the Dakota have been named Straw- berry Fields. A seven-foot, three-tonne bronze statue of Lennon stands in front of Los Angeles City Hall. Liverpool streets have been named after the Beatles.

Z Nee te PeeeRtE ovErNene: Campaigns for husband TORONTO (CP) — Jane Fonda says that for the next “year or so she plans to be less the movie star and more the political activist. In Toronto to promote two movies to be released at Christmas, On Golden Pond and Rollover, she said in an interview that she wants to campaign for her husband Tom Hayden who is running for a seat in the California senate, and also take time to reassess herself and her career. “Acting is the most ful- filling thing I do,” she said. “I'm not happy when I'm not acting. “And yet, I feel, and maybe this is unique to me, I don't know — I feel there is a dialectic that leads from my personal life and makes me more effective as an actress. So I'm taking the year off to campaign for my husband. I need to be renewed; I want to be out there again, figur- ing out what I want to ex- press.” Fonda, daughter of actor Henry Fonda who plays her father in On Golden Pond, has recently become an au- thor with the publication of Jane Fonda's Workout Book, a catalogue of women's ex- ercises. “I discovered,” she says in the introduction, “that with common sense, a bit of studying and a good deal of commitment, I could create for myself a new approach to health and beauty: an ap- proach that would not only make me look better, but would enable me to handle the intense multi-faceted life I lead with more clarity and balance, to say nothing of more energy and endurance.” FATHER IS ILL Fonda, 44, said in the interview that partly because of her experience in On Golden Pond, the fact her father is sick and the world situation, she knows there JANE FONDA ++. to campaign. are more important things to do than make movies. “The movies won't be im- portant unless I stop and understand what's _happen- ing.” In Rollover, she plays an ex-movie star who takes over her dead husband’s multi- national petrochemical com- pany, and makes love to Kris CASTLEGRKCNEWS ENT af as the Arabs begin to pull their funds out banks. ’ of US. AINMENT Two roles much alike By JERRY BUCK LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Arness plays a mod- ern-day detective in his new series for NBC, McClain's Law, but you half expect him to strap on a six-gun and climb into the saddle. It's hard to think of Arness and not picture him as a Western hero. To millions of television viewers he is still Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke, the 6-foot-6 marshall who kept the peace in Dodge City for 20 years. For another four years he was mountain man Zeb Macahan in How the ‘West Was Won.” Arness plays Jim McClain in the Friday night series, a detective who comes out of retirement to solve the mur- der of a friend and stays on to rejoin the police-force. He's a man who remembers the old days and chafes at the new passed down word that I was dead,” Mature said, “and I don’t blame the Guild.” Mature, a golf enthusiast, quipped about the incident: “Tm not looking for a job, but if I'm dead, I am the first dead man to make six double bogeys on the back nine.” legal placed upon policemen. The series was created by Eric Bercovici, who also wrote the screen- play and produced Shogun. Although he’s no longer walking the dusty streets of Dodge City, Arness says, “I think there are many par- allels between McClain and Matt Dillon, essentially that they're both lawmen from different eras. I think the principle of it is very much the same. This shows. But unlike Eischied or Walking Tall, where officers frequently bent the law in their zeal, McClain will work of civil definitely a law and order man who believes in staying within the letter of the law. So in that sense they're similar.” He says the two characters are alike in personality and temperament. “I don’t feel like I'm doing a totally dif- ferent type of guy at all. FINDS IT FRUSTRATING McClain is a guy who was a® policeman ‘ years’: before,’ then he was Off-the force, and. he. comes back in a different era,” he says. “All new rules and regulations, and he often finds it very frustrating.” McClain’s partner is played by Marshall Colt, a veteran detective despite his youth, thus making for a switch on the usual roles of mentor and protege. His lieutenant is played by George DiCenzo. McClain's irritation with the rules, the frustrations of aman from a more easygoing era, will be a central theme of ‘ the series. It's a variation of a theme has. used in is within its p rights. After he completed his work on How the West Was Won in 1979, Arness took two years off into McClain's .

It’s not often that you find the right concept and talented people to go with it. I felt it was a fortunate set of a number of recent police so I decided to have a crack at it.” CT'VE W weet S HEADS...

We never saw a taste- ful script. “For a long time we wanted to do a script about the American Revolution, which would have featured the two of us as well as my brother, Peter. But it was very ambitious and we just couldn't make it. But the word was out and my lawyer suggested I read this Play hes called On Golden Pond. ‘TT WAS PERFECT’ She said “I read it while I was making Electric Horse- man, and saw immediately it was perfect for my father and Katherine Hepburn, There was also a role for me that while it wasn’t much more than what they politely call a cameo, it did allow for a father-daughter relation- ship.” How did her father react to the idea? | “He's no fool,” she laughed. “You don't get parts like that very often especially at his age. In a long, long career he's distilled certain quali- ties; the nobility of the hu- man spirit, and the power of stable relationships. “T felt all these things were embodied for him in On Golden Pond.
