It's the old horror story played for
laughs but don’t wait for punch lines
and prat falls, they're not there, the
humor arises from the characters,
their foibles and phobias.

Director Neal McKenna says:
“This production has been a chall
enge for me and crossing the line
from actor to director has not gone
without its hitches. However, I have
a good cast and they're giving me
what I want . . . even if I have to
wring it out of them sometimes.”

Mors Draculae, Latin for The
Death of Dracula, promises to be a
romp from start to finish, Frought
with the usual staking and decapita
tions, this play is a delightful spoof
on the classic horror tale.

The second play in the newly-
expanded Nelson Little Theatre
Season is called Strange Snow and is
directed by Nelson Little Theatre
veteran, Gus Bos. Scheduled for
early November, this ensemble piece
for three players is best described as
a dramatic comedy.

It is a story of three people in
transition. Martha is on the verge of
becoming an old maid; Megs is con
sidering taking responsibility for his
life and David has yet to get over the
horrors of the Viet Nam war, so he
numbs his senses with booze on a
daily basis.

It is a peculiar setting to frame a
comedy, but humor arises through
out.

Both Nelson Little Theatre produ
ctions will be staged at the Capitol
Theatre in Nelson. Mors Draculae is
playing Oct. 22, 23, 28 and 29 while
Strange Snow is playing Nov. 17, 18
and 19.

HUEY LEWIS

New LP ‘ambi

PHOENIX, ARIZ. (AP) — Is the
world ready for doo-wop reggae?

It may be the next musical step for
Huey Lewis and The News, judging
from their ambitious new album
Small World, which ventures into
the realms of jazz, reggae, ska, soul
and New Orleans swing.

The fifth LP from the former
Grammy-winning sextet from San
Francisco is a stark departure from
their slick, pop-sounding past, but
Lewis said it's by design.

“We felt it was time for-a change.
We wanted to stretch out musically,”
the 38-year-old singer said in an
interview at the start of another
world tour.

“For us, it was either make this
album or not make an album at all.
We sold 15 million records from the
last two LPs (Sports and Fore!) and if
you can't stretch out after selling
that many, you shouldn't be making
them.”

Avid fans
though.

The type of tunes that make the
band famous are still around with the
rocker Walking With the Kid, the
ballad World to Me and the upbeat
dance groove Give Me the Keys (And
Tll Drive You Crazy).

PERFORMS VOCALS

Also true to form are Lewis’ husky
vocals and harmonica work, lead
guitarist Chris Hayes’ solos and solid
backing by bassist Mario Cipollima,
drummer Bill Gibson, keyboard
player Sean Hopper and rhythm
guitarist-saxophonist Johnny Colla

shouldn't despair,

and the five-man Tower of Power
horn section.

But the rest of the new release on
Chrysalis Records is different for
aficionados, starting with the jazz
flavored title track Small World
(Part One).

“I originally conceived it about two
years ago when we were in Europe,”
Lewis said.

“I used-to have these arguments
with European record company
promotional guys who had never
been to America but had these dumb
ideas about Americans — like all we
did was watch TV evangelists and
have six-gun in our hand.

“While I was arguing our side, it
occurred to me that although our
music is very American, the message
never has been a nationalistic one. It
should be more of a global thing.
That's where the Small World con.
cept came from.”

The album's first single is the
brassy Perfect World written by
Alex Call, a longtime friend of Lewis’
who used to be in his old country
rock band Clover.

Lewis said the second single will
be an edited version of Small World
(Part One) and the instrumental
Small World (Part Two), which fea.
tures a guest appearance by jazz
saxophonist Stan Getz.

Other album cuts are the 1960s.

‘True and the pure reggae jam Bobo
Tempo.

“Bobo Tempo was written by Sean
and myself about 13 years ago when
we were both in Clover,” Lewis said.
“It was for a gig we had in Bolinas,
Calif.

“Bobo is a nickname for Bolinas,
which is a nutty place. We used to
play out there every su often and
there would be huge street parties.”

In 1985, the band had its first No. 1

Lansing
surprised

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Movie
producer Sherry Lansing, the first
woman to run a major movie studio,
says she's just “a nice Jewish girl”
and is surprised when young women
tell her she's their idol.

“I have insecurities, concerns,
worries and fears, just like anyone
else,” she said recently. “When I
lecture on college campuses, women
come up and tell me they've idolized
me for years. I say, ‘I have trouble
just making it through a day.’ ”

Lansing, 44, a former model and
actress, was named head of 20th
Century Fox at age 35 after rising
through the ranks. She quit after
three years and became an indepen
dent producer, who, along with part
ner Stanley Jaffe, produced last
year's hit Fatal Attraction.

There were also monitors placed
in basements, which revealed
higher amounts of radon. The

was 0.9 picocuries per litre and

level was 47.1. However, 15 per
cent of the homes tested had

while newer houses had more

Radon can be reduced by

The health unit says a short
course on reducing radon in
homes could be presented in
Castlegar after Christmas, if
there is enough demand.

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar resident Merv Rush was
one ofthe majority of people whose
homes were found to be safe from
radon gas. Levels in his home were
measured at 1.3 picocuries per litre
“well below the limit.”

“I'm really not concerned,” Rush
said, adding he worries more about
the hazards of cigarette smoke and
motor vehicle exhaust.

Mentally
disabled

to vote

OTTAWA (CP) — As many as
50,000 mentally disabled Canadians
living in institutions will probably
win the right to vote in this federal
election, Southam News reported
Saturday.

Government lawyers will not con:
test a constitutional challenge to a
section of the Canada Elections Act
that denies voting rights to people
committed to institutions because of
mental incompetence or mental ill
ness.

The challenge, by the newly
formed Canadian Disability Rights
Council, is to be heard by Federal
Court of Canada on Monday.

Justice Department lawyer Eric
Bowie confirmed Friday that the
government accepts the -council’s
argument that the act violates the
Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Section 3 of the Charter gives
every Canadian citizen the right to
vote and Section 15 guarantees
everyone the right to equal protec-
tion and benefit under the law.

the Canadian Envir 1 Law
Association, said the deal commits
Canada to moving towards equiva

and benefits of pesticides.

Vigod said because Canada lacks
laws on assessing pesticides, the
clause ‘seems to move us in the
direction of the U.S. approach,” she
said.

Free trade also commits Canada to
adopting American policies on tumor-
causing pesticides, said Vigod.

This is disturbing because a con-

assessing carcinogenic pesticides,
she said.

APPROACH ‘SLANTED’

“More significant, however, is that
the agency's use of (certain) ap-
proaches to decision-making appears
systematically slanted towards less
tringent regulation of suspected car-
cinogens,” Vigod quoted from the
committee's report.

Vigod also questioned Canadian
testing procedures, saying most is
done by the manufacturer, then
passed on to the government.

She criticized what she called Can-
adian dependence on the use of
American data produced from pri-
vate labs in the United States, a
situation she said places Canada in
the position of being unable to ensure
these labs are producing quality
work.

Unit and agreed to participate in the
survey more out of curiousity than
concern.

“It just never concerned me,” said
Rush.

When Rush was on holidays in
Montana he found that there were
uranium mines which were opened to
tourists seeking cures for arthritis
and rheumatism.

“I was at one called the Merry
Widow mine,” said Rush. He added
that he didn’t go in.

Rush said he feels the media has
over emphasized the threat posed by
radon, likening it |to PCB wastes.

“The PCB bit is so overblown,” he
said. “I don't react to that kind of
hysteria.”
