Buy Sir James Reid, her personal physician for the last 20 years of her life, with. stood it all to become a friend and confidant and ultimately one of the three principal men in her life to whom she looked for support. The Seottish-born Reid, highly qualified after study in Vienna, was on call around the clock, but between 10:30 p.m. and midnight was the time Victoria favored for the daily discussion of her dis comforts. Since these often were minor — or imagined — the conversation soon turned to more general, often secret, items: family anxieties or political complaints, drinking among the staff or her in tense dislike of Prime Min ister William Gladstone HAD SCRAPBOOKS Reid found time to build a collection df some 60 scrap books of diary notes, old photos and letters, news. Paper cuttings and menu cards which eventually came into the hands of Michaela Reid, wife of the doctor's grandson. There were also some 200 letters and notes in Victoria's almost illegible scrawl — she often wrote near-indecipher- able messages to people who were seated in the next room, and there was a great sigh of relief when her eye sight failed to the point where she could no longer write. Now Michaela Reid has put the collection, augmented by information from other sources, into a book entitled Ask Sir James, an engaging volume that gives an inti mate picture of the monarch in her final years. Victoria, who became Queen at age 18 and was widowed at 42 with the death of her beloved consort Prince Albert, later found male sup- port in her trusted Scottish servant John Brown, the rough-hewn gillie who was tolerated by her household and criticized by her family. Although much has been written about Albert and rer B.C. ENTERTAINMENT CONSULTANTS The interior s own entertainment specialists!

But when he started giving popular little dinner parties of his own, Victoria soon knew about it, “I hear Dr. Reid has dinner parties!” she exclaimed, de- ciding to eliminate the rival entertainments by inviting the culprit to join the royal table. Although he quickly be- came the Queen's conversa- tional intimate, Victoria nev- er removed her clothes even ‘or the most awkward med- ical examinations. It was only after her death that Reid discovered she had been suf. fering from a hernia and a prolapsed womb — both of which he reckoned he could have treated to save her years of discomfort. Although Victoria was plagued with rheumatism, she insisted on her daily carriage drives no matter what the weather, demanded a surfeit of fresh, usually damp air in her rooms and wore light clothing, even for breakfasts outdoors at Bal- moral. And although she put great stock in family life, she was often inconsiderate of employees in their need for time off. She was greatly agitated, at first, when Reid announced at age 50 that he was going to marry one of the young members of the Queen's ‘entourage. “I'm afraid I was more than astonished,” the Queen said. “I was rather angry. I did not expect to have my maid-of. honor snapped up before my very nose!” No matter how difficult, penny-pinching, _ inconsider. ate or self-centred she be. came, Reid always remained indulgent, putting it down to her “nature.” “I think,” he wrote, “that she can't be measured by the same standard as ordinary people.” Ask Sir James, by Mich- aela Reid.

Like any other Hollywood working stiff, Roger is an actor. He's also a lifesize, animated rabbit who works in cartoons to buy his carrot-juice. That's until he’s accused of murder.

One of the first new cop movies out of the can will be Universal's Shakedown. Set for release in May, it’s a drama starring Sam Elliott and Peter Weller as a renegade New York undercover cop and a legal aide attorney who get together to solve a case.

Burt Reynolds surfaces this August in Smoke, playing a “down-and-out ex-cop” being prosecuted for murder.

Wednesday, May 18. 7:30 2/38 famous COMMERCIAL PRINTING * Letterheads * Envelopes * Brochures ® Raffle Tickets Castlegar News for our Pupils learn their grapes By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer Taste in wine is like taste in art, Never mind who made it, where it came from, or how much it costs — as long as you like it, that’s all that matters, And everybody's taste is different, according to Bruce Lacroix, a consultant who trains hotel wine stewagds. Lacroix taught 20 beginners in wine tasting how to swirl, sniff and slurp wine with the best of them at a work- shop held at the arena complex last night. Lacroix, who will be teaching a Hospitality and Tourism course at Selkirk College's Rosemont campus, taught the group the basics needed not to be intimidated by wine stewards when ordering wine. “The wine steward is a very snotty man,” Lacroix joked. U Lacroix had six different grape types from six different countries to sample. He cautioned that labels which name grape types can bé. misleading. He said a Chablis from the United States and a Chablis from France are not necessarily the same grape. “To an American Chablis means cheap white wine. To the French it means very good expensive white wine from France.” Before tasting the grape, wine enthusiasts were instructed to inspect the clarity, color and aroma of the wine. The color of the wine is used to indicate the age and the climate of the area where the wine is grown, he said. Lacrois said wines from hot climates are usually darker and “the older a white wine becomes, the darker it becomes.” Lacroix had everyone swirl wine in their glass, exhale and then take a deep sniff. When asked to tell what the wine reminded them of, answers ranged from dirty socks to hay or cooked fruit to wetwood — all on the same glass of wine. Lacroix says impressions of wine differ as people do because everybody draws on different experiences. Lacroix also_pointed out myths and misconceptions associated with wine. He claims that not only the Europeans know how to make good wine. “I only brought it to show that we can make some good wine in Canada,” he said of his favorite Canadian wine called Gray Monk. Lacroix said an aged wine is not necessarily a good wine. “Letting a wine age for a long time doesn’t help it if it's a bad wine, all you get is a bad old wine.” He said although red wine is meant to be served at room temperature, room temperature can be too warm. “Room temperature means 60-65 degrees farenheit and this room is about 80,” he said. Lacroix said chill your white wine, but don’t chill it too much. “The more you chill a white wine, the less flavor you get out of it.” . Lacroix said a wine doesn’t have to be well made or expensive to be good. He encouraged people to go to their liquor stores and complain about the prices of wine. “I know what they (the liquor stores) pay and I know the mark up and we're getting ripped off,” he said. He suggested some of “the best deals to be found” currently are ines from Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Chile and Portugal.” PHOTO SPREAD . . .
