Barney is Tom Petty and Bruce Spring- steen rolled into one For Gin Palace he spent 18 months labouring over lyrics, looking for a personal resonance missed as he sang someone else's words. As for the new band members, he says simply “When you've been doing (this) as long as I have, you need revitalization.” Key tracks: “Shattered” and “Do Ya". Barney's better each time out. If there’s a fan club, where do I sign up? VOICE OF REASON Harem Scarem (WEA) *** The self produced third full length release from these Ontario hair rockers, Voice of Reason is their most mature and musical effort yet. Harem Scarem is evolving past the Def Leppard Jr. shtick that got them noticed in the first place. Poofy ‘dos are history and classic melody lines with beefy hooks suggest, at times, that they've been listening to old Metallica or Sabbath. Harry Hess’ voice has matured into the smokey shout of a young Coverdale. Key tracks: the title song and “Breathing Sand”. Voice of Rea- son is a confident, impressive step forward for Harem Scarem. BAD HABITS Colin James (WEA) *** Bad Habits is good news for Colin James’ many fans as he tums in his best disc yet, and the first for his new label. Bad Habits is a mixture of delta blues and supple Memphis s6ul. Aside from his own stuff, James sinks his chops into songs by Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Worl, Elmore Jaines and Bar- beque Bob. As for the album’s soulfulness, producer Chris Kim- sey and guests like Lenny Kravitz and former Fab T-Bird Kim Wilson can be felt. Key tracks: “Freedom”, “Bad Habits” and “Speechless”. Bad Habits is Colin James’ most fully realized work yet. B Nell Young (Reprise) **172 A grunge summit of sorts...Neil Young and Pearl Jam. Recorded in four days ear- lier this year, Mirror Ball really honks. If you're expecting some sort of revelatory experience or wild hybrid of old and new styles, Mirror Ball is destined to disap- point, as Jam serves as Young’s back-up band. After the melancholy “Sleeps With Angels”, the exuberance of this disc is most welcome. If you're into the “Freedom” and “Ragged Glory” albums as I am, you'll enjoy Mirror Ball thor- oughly. Key tracks: “Act Of Love”, “Throw Your Hatred Down” and “Peace and Love”. Mirror Ball is a shaggy classic. TOWER OF SONG Various Artists (A & M) ****1/2 Tribute albums are saturating the marketplace, and this is the third Leonard Cohen tribute that 1 know of ... however, it’s nearly the best. Jennifer Warnes’ “Famous Blue Raincoat” is still the best Cohen tribute, but fourteen artists turned in compelling versions of Cohen's songs here. Artists involved include Don Henley, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel and Trisha Yearwood, to name a few. These people gently remind us of Cohen's genius as-a poet. That they are fans is no mys- tery, his lyrics and music can be compelling. “A song, by its nature has to move swiftly from heart to heart” Leonard says. Many of these songs do just that. Key tracks: “Everybody Knows” (Don Henley) and “If It Be Your Will” (Jann Arden) Leonard Cohen himself gives Tower of Song the thumbs up, as I thought he might. This is an excellent tribute album.

They may be rare, but they are engraved in our hearts never to be forgotten 4 One of mine happened almost nine years ago. My first grand- child had been born. Everyone had left the hospital room except her mother and I My daughter was busy phon- ing everyone telling them of her miracle. I was carrying the mira- cle around in my arms. How per- fect she was, a wondrous human being in a very tiny body and she was my granddaughter. What a moment There have been many such moments each special, each unique, but time did not stand still and they have passed. Iam left with only memories that warm my. heart when I fan the flames and bring them back to life. But, there are other times that were not wonderful Times when I thought the sheer weight of the pain would kill me I wondered how I could go * on breathing and hurt so much, Moments that I hated, that were horrible. You have had them, we all have. Life is made up of the “good” and the “bad”. It took a while for me to discover this principlé that “this too shall pass” When we are in it we feel like Tea Shoppe a dream Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park/Chapel House and the C.P. Rail Station Museum/B.C Provincial Police Jail both operat- ed by the Castlegar and District Heritage Society and adminis- tered by Deb McIntosh, are hav- ing the usual busy influx of tourists.

Congratula- A tions Deb, for getting the ‘Tea Shoppe’ at Zuckerberg Island started - a long await- ed dream of some of the Society founders and members. Best of luck!

It will pass if we will let it pass. Maturity and wellness let the bad stuff pass on, A mature person recog- nizes that “in this life you will have trou- bles” but it will pass! It need not last forever. One of the questions asked most of me as a counselo' “How do I get through thi I have to say, one day at a time. The trip will be faster if we carry a grateful attitude with us. Even in the midst of great pain, if we can see the goodness of God, or of our friends or of mother earth, come true meeting our visitors and the sto- ries they tell us. Often they are former resi- dents, returned to visit family or friends or just to see how the area has changed. Where the downtown condos and bowling alley are now was Rose Williams’ family home, the Senior Citizen's centre was Rick's Records and Ely’s Boutique housed the Bank of Commerce. we can get through the horrible times much quicker. The pain is no less, we are just not buried in it, Joyce Lan- dorf, tells of a story of a widow who was so angry over the loss of her husband. When Joyce asked her to think of one thing she was thankful for, she refused. Later she started to smile, she said, “I thought of one thing, every Monday night I don't have to listen to Howard Cosel.” 1 believe that opened a door of healing. She was on her way out! Take heart, nothing lasts forev- er. If it’s good, cherish it, take a memory picture of it, chisel it in your heart and bring a smile to your face. If it’s what we perceive as bad, take heart, it will pass.
