That has happened throughout Oscar's fabled history: one unscripted, unexpected and spontaneous moment that electrified the audience. Rarely have the awards failed to produce such an event. Everyone has his or her own favorite, and here are just a few: — Sacheen Littlefeather, In 1978, there was specu lation that Marlon Brando, nominated as best actor for The Godfather, might pull a surprise. He did. When Roger Moore announced that Brando had won, a woman in a Native American costume came onstage and brushed away Roger Moore as he tried to hand her the Oscar statuette. She said her name was Sacheen Littlefeather, that Henry Mancini had the orchestra play Sunny Side Up, and the imperturbable Niven commented: “Just think, the only laugh that man will probably ever get is for stripping and showing off his shorteomin, Taylor came on stage and sai act to follow.” , “That's a pretty tough — The Tramp's Farewell. In 1972, the Academy voted Charlie Chaplin special award. The event was packed with drama because it was Chaplin's first return to Hollywood since his self-exile 20 years before, The furore over his politics was forgotten. More important was the “incalculable effect he had in making motion pictures the art form of the century.” When Chaplin appeared onstage at the end of the ceremonies, the ovation w thunderous, Frail and over. whelmed, he did a little flipping trick with the black derby that was his trademark. sign language for her parents, who were both deaf. — Patton Says No. George C. Scott had once requested that his name be withdrawn as candidate for supporting actor in 1961 for The Hustler (the Academy declined). So everyone wondered if he would accept the Oscar if he won for Patton in 1971. He won, and he wouldn't accept, Frank McCarthy, the producer of “Patton,” accepted Scott's award, but it was never delivered. Scott's opinion of the awards: “A two-hour meat parade.” — “Aw, Coop.” Gary Cooper, who had won two Oscars during his career, was given an honorary Oscar in 1961 but but was not at the ceremonies. His close friend, James Stewart, accepted the award for him. Stewart began erying during his speech and could only say, “Aw, Coop,” before walking tearfully off stage. The » world realized the desperate health of Cooper, who was too March 30, 1988 Castlegar News OTTAWA (CP) — Rick Hansen, the wheelchair ath lete whose world tour to aid spinal-cord research inspired millions, accepted Canada's top honor Tuesday while gently declining the hero's mi “I think that I'm just the average person who just had the very good fortune to realize his own dreams,” Hansen said after he was invested as a campanion of the Order of Canada by Gov. Gen. Jeanne Sauve. Hansen highest honor given image outweigh the fact that Rick Hansen is a real person and just like anyone else around here,” he told report- ers. But Hansen’smiled proudly as Sauve hung the red-and- white medallion around his neck during a brief ceremony in the stately.salon of Rideau Hall.

Matlin's graceful hands described her gratitude, and her the rich, artistic heritage of the region. Work of outstanding qual ity will be selected by the jurors to be exhibited at the B.C.

Her per- formance reminded many of Louise Fletcher's acceptance of her 1976 best actress award for’One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. As Fletcher made her acceptance speach, she used HOOKING VCR TO COMPUTER NEXT STEP By The Canadian Press Most people have their hands full just hooking up their videocassette recorder to a pay-TV descrambler, a channel converter and a TV set. But some analysts think the next big video trend will be hooking VCRs to personal computers. So-called desktop video allows home enthusiasts to edit tapes and add special effects at a fraction of what it would cost at a production house. Home videos can be spruced up with animated char- acters and splashy graphics, and amateur editors also find personal computers deliver smoother cuts and take less time than the cumbersome method of using two VCRs. Business people, meanwhile, are attracted to the cheaper-but-brighter videos to be used in speeches, sales presentations and so on. “It's getting to be a pretty hot area,” Video Review editor Glenn Kenny told USA Today. “people are just starting to do more with their videos.” SLIGHTLY OVER half of Canadian homes now are estimated to have a videocassette recorder. Figures gathered by the A.C.

EAGER TO defeat video piracy, the Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association is offering customers tips on how to spot an illegally copied video- tape. The association, the Canadian arm of the major U.S. studios, says it loses an estimated $10 million a year in Canada to video pirates. But it is also telling consumers that they are hurt by the practice too — because illegal tapes are inferior in sound and picture quality to the copyrighted originals. On illegal videos, colors and stereo effects are not as sharp as might be expected — especially on big-budget blockbusters, the most frequent target of video pirates. In addition, colors tend to bleed into each other or fade at the edges, and sometimes there can be a “halo” around the performers’ heads. Labels on the tapes may also look photocopied or otherwise manipulated, although high-tech printing tech- nology is making it more difficult to detect a false label. DAVID LETTERMAN introduced the monkeycam and the thrilleam — cameras strapped to a monkey or a mock roller-coaster. Now comes the raileam for model train enthusiasts. GENEROUS DONATION . . . The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 170 donates two personal emergency response units to the Castlegar and District Home Legion donates units These units are provided at a nominal monthly rental The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 170 has donated two personal emergency response units to the Castlegar and District Home Support Service.

The service is funded by Castlegar charitable organiza. tions. Bob Wady of Branch No. 170 demonstrated the units at the last Legion meeting. The Legion donation was made possible by the community's active participi bingo at the Legion Hall. ion in the Thursday night ‘The Castlegar Lions have also provided four emergency response units and the Castlegar Kiwanis one unit. Labor board ruling unclear SASKATOON (CP) — Workers and management at the local office of Federated Co-operatives Ltd. have asked the Labor Relations Board for a clarification of its unfair labor practice ruling against the firm. Since at least last Septem ber, Federated had asked newly hired employees to sign a letter urging them to become co-op members and to buy its products and ser. vices. In an order received last Margaret Town passes away Margaret Town of Castle- gar passed away at Mount St. Francis Hospital Saturday, March 26 at the age of 80. Mrs. Town was born May 31, 1907 in Scotland and came to Canada in 1910 settling with her family at Natal, B.C. She lived for a time at Med- icine Hat, Alberta and in Vancouver. She married Marshall Town in Vancouver on Sept. 2, 1931. She came to Castle- gar in 1974 and was an active member of the Castlegar senior citizens. She is sur- vived by her step-son, Wil- liam Allan of Elkford, B.C. She was predeceased by her husband on March 12, 1987. There will be no funeral service by request and cre- mation has taken place.

The unit consists of a wireless transmitter (pendant HELP button) which is worn around the neck and a home communicator unit which connects to the telephone system. In case of an emergency, the subscriber pushes the pendant HELP button, or the red HELP button on the communicator and through the central monitor a “help required” message is immediately sent out and acted on. This system allows people to maintain their indepen dence with the security of having help close at hand in case of any emergency. Further information regarding these units can be obtained by contacting Castlegar Home Support. week by the company and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1400, which represents 330 Fed- erated employees, the board said that’s an unfair labor practice. The board cited two por. tions of the Trade Union Act which don’t allow employers to bargain directly with in- dividual unionized em- ployees, only unions as a whole. The board ordered Fed- erated to stop. But the order didn’t ex- plain whether the firm was wrong to require new em- ployees to sign the letter, but its products and become co-op members, or whether it should have negotiated those requests with the union, “We don't know exactly what the violation was,” Larry Seiferling, Federated's lawyer, said Tuesday. Seiferling and Drew Plax- ton, the union's lawyer, have asked the board whether it will provide a written de. cision which might reveal the reasoning behind the order. Union representatives Don Logan said he didn’t know of any employees who lost jobs for refusing to buy Federated goods and services, but his union feared that could hap- pen if the practice continued.
