(CP) — Margot Kidder is no flag waver, but the feisty, green-eyed actress is sick of appearing in movies that disguise the Canadian locations where they were filmed. She's lost count of the times Toronto and Vancouyer have been made over to resemble New York. All three Superman films, which gave Canadian-born Kidder huge exposure in the United States as the Man of Steel's girlfriend, were shot in Canada. But moviegoers certainly did not think Metropolis was a Canadian city. Banff is the shooting location for Kidder's latest film, a CBS TV movie called Hoax. The network took Western Canada's tourist mecea — the town lures thousands of visitors every year from the United States, Japan, West Germany and other countries — and turned it into an unidentified American Rockies ski resort. U.S. FLAG WAVES An American flag hangs outside the chamber of commerce building, which doubles as the film's police station. The actors playing policemen resemble state troopers, with eagle emblems pasted on the doors of their cars. “Changing licence plates and having American dollars is really silly,” said Kidder during « break in filming. y’ asked why one of Canada’s most recognizable tourist attractions can't be just that — recognizable — CBS officials told Kidder “American audiences like to see American things.” J She gritted her teeth in exaggerated frustration, ‘staring up at the tall pines and icy blue sky. “It’s crazy,” Kidder said. “Nobody cares. If it's a good movie, they'll watch it and if it's not, they won't.” STAYS MONTREAL A few weeks earlier she got the chance to appear in a film that made no bones about where it was shot. Keeping ‘Track, an espionage thriller that also stars Canadian-born Michael Sarrazin, left Montreal as Montreal. “It was ineredibly refreshing,” Kidder said, her face breaking into the lopsided grin that has become familiar to fans. In her first big Hollywood part, Kidder played a Chicago hooker in Norman Jewison's Gaily Gaily. She also played a whore in Heartaches and a stripper in Little Treasure before becoming newsroom nice girl Lois Lane in the Superman films. In Hoax, Kidder, 39, plays opposite Mike Farrell of MASH fame. They are a honeymoon couple on a skiing holiday who become entangled in local intrigue. Elliot Gould is the rumpled police chief intent on solving the mystery. The film, a month-long project, is due for telecast later this year.

Feb. 28 only Network weigh anchors NEW YORK (AP) — News anchors, no longer chained to desks in New York, seem more like globe-trotting tour guides these days. Starting Monday on ABC, Peter Jennings and World News Tonight shift to the Soviet Union for a week to cover the 27th Communist Party Congress and other stories about Soviet life, culture and politics. DAN RATHER . . . Off to the farm Dan Rather and the CBS Evening News go to America's midsection for a week of reports on farmers and the farm crisis. “This is a very important story to all Americans,” said executive producer Lane Venardos. “We're seeing the demise of a way of life, and, besides, everybody eats.” Alone of the three main network anchormen, Tom Brokaw and NBC Nightly News will stay in New York next week. Brokaw packed his ‘bags and anchored recent NBC reports from Mexico City, Geneva and Manila. News executives say the reason these programs go on the road is because a story is important and the anchor wants to do more than read it; he wants to report it. All three anchors went to Mexico City after last year's earthq They all broadcasts from Geneva in November during the U.S.-Soviet summit. INCREASES COVERAGE Moving the broadcast outside its New York studio the farm trip will cost CBS nearly $100,000—increases the story's coverage. CBS sent camera crews and correspon dents to the Philippines for the recent election, but devoted far less time to the story than did ABC and NBC, which sent their anchors to Manila. Venardos sees a danger inherent in what he calls “the anchorman justification syndrome.” He says stories can be blown out of proportion and “distort the broadcast just because the company has spent money on a trip.” ABC's Jennings said anchor-generated, comprehensive coverage, when appropriate, can provide fuller context and background. Jennings and several ABC correspondents are going to the Soviet Union not only to cover the Communist party's convention, but also to acquaint viewers with Soviet attitudes and policies. “Local TV does so much regional and national news, so we should do more foreign news than we do,” Jennings said. Rather said his trip west is not a response to ABC's journey. “We were told by the Soviets that accessiblity and information would be severely limited,” he said. “And we couldn't find enough justifiable editorial reasgns to take the anchor and travel the whole broadcast to Russia, on Russians’ terms. “CBS is sending a team of correspondents to the party congress. RESTRICTIONS? ABC said it was guaranteed enough access to warrant the trip. ABC News officials declined to discuss in detail the negotiations or the nature of any Soviet restrictions. Venardos said Rather, along with Charles Kuralt and other CBS reporters, was going to the U.S. breadbasket to give the farm story broader analysis. “Taking the broadcast to the farm country is better than sitting in New York and saying, ‘There's a problem out there," " Venardos said. Other benefits from anchor travel, both foreign and domestic, include greater promotional opportunities and the possibility of higher ratings. Viewers often are drawn to places they've never seen. “You shoot pictures at the Denver airport versus pictures at the airport in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and the pictures are likely to be more interesting in Rawalpindi, in part, because they are different,” said Jennings. Series features Schroeder Fiction writer, poet, edi- tor, translator and journalist Andreas Schroeder will read from his work Friday at the Kootenay School of Writing in Nelson. Schroeder, who spent nine months in prison in B.C., is known for his book about those prison experiences, Shaking It Rough. His novel, Dustbow! Mar- sion City.

Fields on benchiand at a — possibly as high as 100 per cent. Fields closer to the lakes and those that were heavily mulehed or had snow cover have suffered less. Hallman says tree fruits have also been damaged, but not to the same extent. Hallman says there has been “considerable” straw. berry damage in the area. He noted that 40 per cent of the crop in Creston has been wiped out. Hallman said he hasn't checked the Slocan area, but anticipates consid erable damage there as well. He added that damage is much more severe in the Okanagan where tempera. tures ranged from -27 in Kel owna to -30 in Vernon. He noted that peach trees can be damaged when the tempera. ture dips below -25. Hallman says he expects some peach and apricot dam. age in this area, although he hasn't checked the 15 to 20 acres of commercial trees Disabled win case VANCOUVER (CP) — A group of disabled and un employable welfare recipi ents has won an out-of-court settlement worth up to $100,000 from the Human Resources Ministry. The settlement, mediated by the B.C. Ombudsman’s Office, represents the second vietory by former partici. pants of the now-defunct Community Involvement Program against the minis try. Brent Parfitt, executive director of the Ombudsman's office, said the agreement heads off an impending law suit brought by former pro- gram participants. Parfitt said the exact amount of the settlement won't be known until all eligible former program par ticipants come forward and make a claim. The program, which paid $50 a month to disabled and unemployable welfare recipi ents for doing 20 hours of community service, was cut out in 1983 but was not legally terminated until near ly a year later. . Chapter busy The Xi Gamma Rho chap- ter of Beta Sigma Phi has been busy in the new year with various activities.

Funds totalling $79,000 have been allocated to the college's proposal which will work with young people 17-24 years of age. “The project will focus on giving 15 youngsters the op- portunity to gain experience at jobs in the service sector,” said Dennis Anderson, co- ordinator of Adult Special at the ordinate the project, while Judy Waller, an instructor in the college's Planning Your Future course, will conduct the or i sessions for campus. “Service sector jobs would be those in retail sales, the automotive service sector and the hospitality/tourism sector.” Jane Cowie, of Nelson, a tutor for those with special needs, has been named to co- Villa Society reports The Castlegar Villa Society (Rota Villa) continues to meet on the third Monday of every month.

The directors would like to have former directors of the villa attend meetings now and then to see for them the participants and provide instruction in job skills. The project is slated to be gin March 3 and will operate for six months with a budget of approximately $40,000 for the college. The balance of the funding will be used to pay project participants a training allowance. Those chosen to partici pate in the Job Entry project will spend the first four weeks attending orientation and job skills training at the Rosemont Campus. The fol lowing six weeks trainees work onsite for part of the week and attend classes at the college fortwo or three days_a. week. For the next 11 “weeks trainees work on the job four days a week and return to the college once a week for further instruction and prac- tice. The final five weeks of the project will see trainees working full time for their area businesses turned up 22 employers expressing an in terest in acting as training hosts. “In addition to some prac tical experience, trainees will be provided with college level certificates for all train. ing modules completed dur ing the course of the project,” said Anderson. “Participants in the project will make extensive use of Selkirk College Facilities, learning packages and in structional resources.” Selkirk College's applica tion for a Re-entry Initiative that would assist women in returning to the workforce, is currently under considera tion and may start later in the spring, Anderson said.
