A4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 9, 198! They don't miss Bruno GIBSONS (CP) — Tele- vision viewers in the 30 countries have been missing their weekly glimpses of British Columbia — except in reruns — but some inhabi- tants of this Sunshine Coast community don't much care if The Beachcombers ever come back, Many are still up in arms over an interview with series star Bruno Gerussi, pub- lished a month ago under the headline: Bruneo: B.C. is bor-r-ring. Gerussi said in the article: “Everything out there (in B.C.) is so goddamn slack and laid back it drives me ban- anas. Sure it’s beautiful but I couldn't live there all the time. There's nothing to do.” “If I see Gerussi I'll punch him in the nose,” says Earl Patterson, who works at Smitty's Marina. Owner Harry Smith leases the Per- sephone, Gerussi’s boat in the series, and Molly's Reach to the CBC. “It was not taken too kindly by people here,” says Mayor Lorraine Goddard. “My personal view is that you get back what you put in, Most of the people who come here to live come for the peaceful, rural life. If Mr. Gerussi thinks he’s being left out of the excitement, maybe he should look to himself.” MOUNT BRUNO Others are chuckling over the article’s description of Gerussi’s ‘‘mountaintop” home. The 50-metre-high hill on which his log house sits, , previously referred to as The Bluff, is now jokingly called Mount Brun. The Sechelt Press has been running a series of teasing pictures of Gerussi cap- tioned: Here’s Bruno being bored fishing; Here’s Bruno being bored dining; Here's Bruno looking over his boring view from Port Gerussi high atop Mount Bruno, Gerussi objects to the headline. “T didn’t say that. It’s just some headline editor down there (at the Vancouver Sun) having some fun. “I just happen to be a per- son who has a house here and a house in Toronto. I have the kind of energy that I can fly down there for a day and work and come back. “I need that kind of re- vitalizing of a city like Tor- onto. As a city, it’s recog- nized as being one of the most sophisticated cities in North America. I love this town, but I need to get out.” The Beachcombers has been sidelined since May 21 by a technicians strike, but tourists have been plentiful dhough when it hasn't rained, even though there has been no filming to watch and few of the series’ stars have roamed the streets ready to sign autographs or pose for snapshots, “We're surviving fine,” says Kate Hume, who works in the General Store and has lived in Gibsons all of her 17 years. There have been just as many tourists as ever, and most have been unaware that filming of the series has been interrupted by a strike,” she adds. One local business hurt by the series’ absence is the Omega Restaurant, where many of the cast and crew gather for dinner during the filming season. While tourists are im- pressed with the deserted sets, the townspeople are pretty much uninterested even when the series is film- ing, says municipal admin- istrator Jack Copland. To Copland, a new marira that will be built in the Gib- sons harbor is a more impor- tant issue than the Beach- combers. “We're talking about $2 million for the marina and all you want to know about is Mount Bruno.” Bob Frederick, production manager for the Beachcom- bers series, has been keeping everything warm while wait- ing for the strike to end. - Shooting schedules for the season's shows are ready to go and the design crew is busy making scenery and Accommodation that was lined up for cast and crew without permanent resi- dences in Gibsons also is ready, he says, because the CBC paid the rent during the strike to keep it available and to keep the landlords it deals with every summer happy. But next year, things will be tougher, for the Beach- combers crew, Frederick says. Gone are the days when each crew member was pro- vided a tidy, furnished house of his own, Rising rents and a dwindling list of available places mean some of them may have to share accom- modation ‘nox! year, maybe even basement suites. Waiter Bruce Wilson, a Gibsonsite since the tender age of 18 months, takes a break from work to share his views. I've been in this town for 84 years. We did bloody well before they came here, and we'll do bloody well after they leave.” Technicians end 105-day strike TORONTO (CP) — CBC executives were in a buoyant mood this morning as they introduced their fall season at thelr annual three-day media launch, On Tuesday night, mem- bers of the National Assoc- jation of Broadcast Employ- ees and ic ended ying a tentative contract by an 87-per-cent majority, Peter Herrndord, vice-pre- sident of the CBC, said radio shows should be back on normal schedule in a week to 10 days.

(AP) — It’s fun to fantasize about liv- ing on an island and writing for a living, but in reality it is no snap. Don Haney knows, Haney's island is Santa Catalina — 26 ‘miles across the‘sea” from’Los Angeles. He writes for the weekly newspaper the Catalina Is- lander. Still, in the stressful world of journalism, Haney may have the ideal job. It’s small-town newspapering, but his 4,000-name subscrip- tion list includes readers in all 50 states. “It's not the quality,” writer-editor-publisher own- er Haney insists, “it’s the interest in the island. Some (subscribers) have been here * once, some come every year, others lived here thon moved away. Some people subscribe just out of curiosity.” But it probably has a lot to do with Haney, too, who comes from five generations of newspaper people, is often .at his office six days a week —usually at 6:30 a.m. — and frequently is back in the of- ‘fice at night. “You're never entirely off- duty,” says Haney, who keeps a camera handy at home near his police scanner. SCHEDULES STRANGE Haney's wife, Ann, 48, is a hospital administrator on Catalina, making home life a challenge. “We both have rather strange schedules,” Haney says. “She is pretty much on call too, doubling as an x-ray tech or lab tech.” Only 650 subscribers live on Catalina, but another 1,690. newsstand: copies are sold each week in the sum- mer. That drops to 300 per week in winter, which never- theless, is Haney's favorite time, because “it’s not as crowded.” Catalina’s permanent pop- ulation of about 2,000 swells to seven times that with summer tourists, Haney says. The paper began in 1914, when fewer than 900 people lived on the island. Haney's forebears oper- ated’ newspapers in the Mid- west. Parents Margaret and Gene started the Valley Pi- oneer in Danville, Calif., in the 1940s. RAISED AT PAPER “The only time I ever saw my parents was at the paper,” Haney recalls. “I was literally raised there.” His parents, now both 75, moved to Catalina in 1954 to manage The Islander after answering — what else? — a newspaper ad. They retired in 1962, Haney tried selling for a pump company, then sold.a pump tozarcCatalina sgelf +r course and “literally fell in love with the island,” he re- calls. He moved here in 1956 to work with his parents, buying the newspapers in 1974 from the Wringley Co., which had owned it for 60 years, For years, Catalina had ‘one tourist boat a day run- ning four months a year, Haney says. Now 12: boats - .come-each day in summer, three in winter, with up to 700 passengers per boat —not counting all the private yachts that drop anchor. “In ‘the 1950s, the island was delightfully 20 or 30 years behind the times, but bags rs only sawdust which serves as a growing medium. Feeder tubes carry the nutrient-bearing liquid from’ the main distribution hose into each bag. Excess fluid drains from the bottom of the bags. If they produce up to the that is very rapid- ly,” he says. - v The newspaper:istill ig ~printed in:its-own shop, but he says “this fall I'm going to install computerized cold type — I'm going to have to join the 20th century.” Haney loves islands gener- ally but needs a P il average, each cuc- umber plant — there are rymore than 1,200 of them in their greenhouses.— could produce up to 100 cucumbers.” Harvesting of the cucum- bers and tomatoes from their 1,000 plants has been under way for.some time now in one © h change. “I go to the mainland once a month where no one’knows me.
