Collins 359-7586 law who becomes the object of the widowed Dr. Jekyll’s affections ahd Ir. Hyde’s horrible attentions. The former Charlie’s Angels member speaks in a passable British accent, but seems a ted old for the part. No harm, though. She manages to fit in While ABC’s movie retells a familiar tale, it tells(it well, with writer David Wickes's burrs antique dialogue a joy to the ears in this age of film-school graduate scripts that mainly consist of burps, obscenities, and scenes stolen from Casablanca. It’s hard not to like a show where: © A powerful old doctor (Joss Ackland) hates Jekyll, suspects his married daughter (Ladd) has taken him as a lover, and sternly asks her, “*Has he seduced you, is that it?’’ He later bellows ‘‘Adulteress!,’’ and or- ders her from his house, out, out, out into the rain. © The crusty editor of the London Record who tells sleazy ace reporter Ted Snape (David Schofield): ‘‘Stay with it. I smell a scandal brewing.”’ ® Caine, as Jekyll teaching a class of medical students, calmly tells them: ‘Evil’? — a short pause for effect — “*is hot a scientific word."” None of this is camped y the way. While such dialogye could collapse the show if done by actors of lesser skills, this cast plays things straightforwardly and with care. It’s sheer pleasure to watch them work, even those in the smaller roles, such as Joan Heal as Jekyll’s disap- proving housekeeper, and Lionel Jef- fries as the doctor’s irreverent father. Tautly directed by Wickes, who earlier teamed with Caine on a not-so- good TV version of Jack the Ripper, Sunday's exercise starts with an auc- tion — suddenly halted — of the late Dr. Jekyll’s goods. We then learn of the plight of poor Sara, who has borne a son of her Jekyll-Hyde days. She works as a stablehand and just wants to be left alone. Of course, there ensues a flash- back to the whole story. The tale is of the benevolent Jekyll’s relentless experimentation in drugs which, although he hopes it will prove for the betterment of mankind, keeps turning him into Hyde, his loathsome, grotesque, violent, murderous alter ego. Not only is Hyde (Jekyll rents a room for him in a seedy brothel) the dark side of humanity, he also is, in his screaming moments of transfor- mation, a fine example of why we'all should Just Say Na to drugs The doctor mixes and downs his terrible potion. In moments, his hands thicken, his body contorts, his face swells and pulsates and his features — well, neighbors, this is Mr. Hyde, and he is plumb gnarly. Back and forth from Jekyll to Hyde he goes, with Hyde nearly killing a child here, savagely beating a prostitute there, setting fire to a pub and finally killing a Scotland Yard detective. The ring starts closing after Mr. Hyde assails the lovely Sara — tem- porarily, then permanently, ensconsed in Dr. Jekyll’s townhouse. The good doctor tells her his bad secret and they fallinlove. Worse, she remains mum when the constables come to investigate her at- tack. The work of reporter Snape proves a catalyst in all this, as does Jekyll’s tormented bid to rid himself of Hyde. ‘Caine may seem to appear in movies and TV shows at the rate of one a day, but he rarely turns in a dull performan- ce. He’s in top form throughout here, highly believable and showing no waste motion. Be that as it may, be sure to inspect ABC’s two-hour Jekyll and Hyde tonight Ewok origins debated CALGARY (CP) — After wrangling over whether Ewoks descended from Wookies, film-maker George Lucas admitted he didn’t come up with the name for one of his favorite creations in the Star Wars movies Lucas, whose Star Wars characters battled the forces of evil across the galaxy, was in court Thursday to fend off a $150-million lawsuit filed by a Calgary man who alleges the Hollywood film-maker stole his Ewok idea. good!

Preston says he mailed the script to Lucas at 20th Century Fox but got no reply and the script was fever returned. Lucas told the court the Ewoks that appeared in Return of the Jedi, the third movie in the Star Wars trilogy, evolved from the eight-foot-tall Chewbacca, a fanged, bellowing, shaggy Wookie that debuted in the original movie. Chewbacca was sophisticated enough to pilot a spacecraft and able to terrorize Imperial stormtroopers, while the Ewoks — wide-eyed, small furry creatures — were intended as loveable, primative woodlands inhabitants. The courtroom resembled theatre of the absurd at times as formally robed lawyers discussed the fictitious charac- ters A. Webster MacDonald, Preston’s silver-haired lawyer, said he found it hard to connect the two Star Wars creatures. “It’s almost nonsensical to think the Wookie portrayed in your films is the same as an Ewok,’’ MacDonald told Luc I’m saying the Ewoks evolved froma Wookie,’’ replied Lucas, a soft- spoken man with greying hair. Pressed by MacDonald, Lucas said names like Ewok and Wookie were his owncreation. MacDonald then read from a book called Skywalker, a chronicle of the making of the Star Wars movies writ- ten by author Dale Pollock. It said’the name Wookie was first used by a San Francisco disk jockey during the making of a 1970 Lucas film. COMMUNITY Bulletin Board RNABC DINNER MEETING Jonvary 23, 6 p.m. at Gabriels.

Purchase of Model T leads to adventures Some pioneers, in the course of their life stories, reflect the path of their people. Johnny Androsoff is one When I came to Castlegar in 1947 to teach, we ren- ted a small house from Johnny Androsoff and his wife Pearl, at the far-end of Robson. We became and have remained good friends over the years. Johnny has long had the reputation as a great story teller and his roots in this area go back almost 81 years. Last Tuesday, after many failed attempts, I tapped into this source of local pioneer information. I found that he has a vivid and remarkably chronological memory for names, events and things, particularly about his first car, a Model T Ford which runs through the story of his early days like a constant and in- domitable friend. This is both a story of a man and the transition of a pedple — the Doukhobors. He was born, he says, on June 7, 1909, in Prince Albert, Sask. .(Diefenbaker Country) and recalls meeting Dief in later years at the airport. ““Where are you from?” Dief asked. “Prince Albert, Saskatchewan,’ replied Johnny. “Ah,” the PM said smiling, always the politician. “*Good Johns come from a good part of the country."" When Johnny was one year old, his parents, An- drew Androsoff and Helen Fedosoff, moved to Cham- pion Creek in the West Kootenay ‘‘just as the (Doukhobor) communities were starting up there,’’ he explained. They stayed in the community until 1924 then moved to Creston and bought a farm. In 1927, they returned to Champion Creek This was the time when Peter Verigin II (the “*Scourger’’) came from Russia (after his father, Peter Verigin I — Lordly Verigin — was blown up on the Ket- tle Valley train near Fallon) and began organizing anew way of life in the communities. Johnny, then about 17, stayed in Creston to sell the livestock, and to work with the Forestry Service at firefighting for 25 cents an hour. In the meantime, his father had got a job as a carpenter in Barnes, Alta., and wired Johnny to join him. Johnny showed the wire to his supervisor, got permission to leave the Forestry Service and went to the bank in Creston to draw out his savings — alittle more than $250 — and to say goodbye to his friend and fishing partner, the bank manager, a Mr Forbes. In the course of conversation, he learned that the banker had bought a new car and was going to sell his 1925 Model T Ford, a vehicle in which they had ridden ‘on their fishing expeditions and which the lad coveted greatly **How much do you want for it?’’ he asked. “I bought it new two years ago for $750. You can have it for $250,"" said the banker “*I need some.money for gas and expenses to Alber- ta. How about $225?"" “Tell you what,” said his friend. “If you come up $12.50, I'll come down $12.50 and you havea deal."” They shook hands on it. The bank manager prepared all the papers and Johnny had his first car and his first love for $237.50 plus a little money left in his pocket to get to Alberta. He then hurried down to Bevans’ garage in Creston where the car was stored and where student mechanic Johnny Obedkoff waited to teach him how to drive. It was then four in the afternoon. They got into the car and Obedkoff started it (it had a self-starter) and drove about a mile up a dirt road. He then turned, looked around carefully to see that the coast was clear, and told Johnny to take the wheel “*Now yau drive,’ Obedkoff said Johnny did, very cautiously, back to town, whereupon his teacher announced: ‘I’m going home to clean up and eat. You drive up that hill there to the police station and get your driver’s licence.”* Johnny continued his cautious way up the gravel road to the police station, parked his car at the roadside in front of the station, blocked the wheels to keep the car from rolling back down the hill again, and walked into the station. He went up to the desk where Const. Hazard } was sitting (I told you he rerhembered éverything) and asked for adriver’s licence “Where is your Johnny was asked “There,"’ Johnny pointed to it in front of the doorway The constable got up, looked, sat down again and said “Can you drive?” “Yes, sir.” The policeman wrote out the necessary piece of paper, handed it to Johnny and said: ‘That will be one car?" bandage around one bare foot, He had.cut it with an axe, had been given first aid and was now out of a job. On learning that Johnny was on his way to Alberta, Koochin asked to be taken along. It was quickly arranged. They would return to their quarters, pack their clothes and leave early in the morning. They were up before the roosters and started out for Barnes, Alta And so began the long odessey of Johnny Androsoff and his Model T Ford. By late afternoon they had arrived in Fernie (gravel roads and new driver, remember) and decided to spend the night. Pere was a forest fire burning on the moun- tains above Ti€ town, and the hotel keeper, when he learned of their plans, advised them to keep out of sight and leave early Firewardens had the authority to conscript any able-bodied males (the streets where pubs were located were the favorite hunting grounds) and send them out firefighting. The boys kept a low profile that night and left early next morning in a dense fog. By the time it had lifted, they-were in the foothills of Alberta heading for McLeod, down a long hill with a narrow bridge near the bottom. John Charters Reflections and recollections al A big seven-passenger Nash filled with men, women and children roared ‘past them. Coming up the hill and over the bridge at the same time was a lighter Whippet with an elderly couple driving it. (If you recognize the names of these cars and aren't a cay buff, you are instantly dated.) There was also a steep embankment on each side of the road: In attempting td avoid a collision, the two cars collided. The impact tore the front wheel off the Whip- pet and it came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the highway. The Nash, however, went out of control, rolled down the embankment and landed on its roof. The boys stopped their car and raced down the em- bankment to help the trapped and screaming passengers but were unable to open the car doors. So, after motioning the passengers to pull back they broke out the windows with rocks and started pulling them out. Only one, a girl of about 15, was badly hurt. How badly they didn’t realize until they laid her out on the ground. “Then,’’ said Johnny, ‘‘I saw that she had a great bloody gash in the side of her belly and her guts were falling out. It was awful. Usually when I see blood I get very afraid. This time I was completely calm. I said to Steve, ‘Quick, roll her on her side.” We did and the guts went back inside.”” They then left the girl in the care of the elderly couple, scrambled back to the Ford and raced down the highway until they found a service station where the owner called the police. ‘‘For a little while,’’ said John- ny, ‘‘it looked as if I was goifig to have to drive the girlto the hospital, but the ambulance came and took her and I was happy. The police praised our prompt action and took our names and addresses, but we never heard anything more about it.’’ a The boys continued on their way, but as they were approaching a high bridge outside of Lethbridge they saw a police car approaching them rapidly. Johnny pulled over on to the verge to let it pass. The next moment their car was tearing down a $0-foot slope into agravel pit Fortunately it remained upright so that they reached the bottom of the pit in safety, found the exit road and drove back onto the highway, through Leth bridge and on to Barnes where they met the waiting An drew Androsoff. “We are still friends,’ said Johnny, ‘but whenever we meet the conversation always starts with, “Hey, do you remember that ride to Barnes?’ "* Next week: More of Jol y, his eternal Ford and Hospital Auxiliaty welcomes new members The Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary president, Margaret David- son, recent meeting welcomed new and returning members to a winter season of volunteer work. Favorable reports were presegted by all committees and ‘the Auxiliary members discussed items of importan- ce for the upcoming festive season. A warm welcome was extended to five new members — Betty Daigle, Marian Burton, Judy Currie, Dorothy Martini and Ann Soukoreff. The auxiliary is doing well, both with new and longterm enthusiastic members. Polly Chernoff, an auxiliary mem- ber, presented the 1989 baby spoon on behalf of the auxiliary to Ashleigh, daughter of Steve and Anna Koochin. The Christmas decorating at the Castlegar Hospital, an annual event, had the members with a roundup of great ideas. The ladies of the auxiliary all whip- ped up a little something for their Christmas bake sale held Dec. 18 at the Castlegar Hospital. The hard work and a fantastic turnout made the event a success. Later in the evening, a regular meeting was held, as well as the auxiliary Christmas party. The 18 members present heard reports and en- joyed refreshments, as well as the ex- change of gifts. Murial Wilson, regional represen- tative, attended the BCHA conference vorkshop in Vancouver in November. She agreed that the workshop was most educational with its emphasis being on health and the connection between body and mind. Get well wishes were passed on.to auxiliary members Shirley Sommers and Ruth Townsend. Both ate missed. Also, heartfelt condolences were sent to Polly Samoyloff, an auxiliary mem- ber, on the loss of her husband, Peter.

It was 17 years ago in November that the Anglican Church Women and the United Church Women opened the shop ina small store on 4th Street The shop benefits the community in different ways. Prices are reasonable for the low-income shopper. Cotton rags are saved for garages and paint shops. Old woollen coats and sweaters are saved for the animal shelter.

The committee asks residents to continue to bring donations only during store hours. The committee also thanks everyone who works at the Thrift Shop and helps to keep it in business The group is looking forward: to moving shortly into premises vacated by CKQR, which will be brighter and give us more space to better display our merchandise.

But wait! Before you devise devious means of putting out the lights of these people, you would do well to consider the fact that their enthusiasm is a vita) part of Christian character Enthusiasm is contagious and it is often the key God uses to release people from their well-earned blaas. When it is genuine, and not a fake, ob- noxious front, it becomes a God-given motivator that. helps us reach our goals. Genuine enthiisiasm dramatically affects your life and the lives of those around you and no mat- ter where we are on the enthusiasm scale there is always room for much more growth There are dramatic life-changing results when people are enthusiastic and excited about God but the reverse is also true when lack of enthusiasm and negativity are the order of the day Enthusiasm is an essential part of the Christian character. Even the root meaning comes from the Greek meaning “‘in God.’ Acts 17:28 says, “‘In Him we live and move and have our being. Ps. 118:24 says, ‘‘This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad. Phil. 2:5 says, ‘‘Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus."’ And II Tim. says, ‘‘We've been given a ‘‘Spirit of power and of love and of sound mind." God is the only source of true en- thusiasm. Delight yourself in the Lord and He willgive you the desires of your heart.
