‘ A4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, DECEMBER 16, 1981 New role leaves Edith behind By JERRY BUCK LOS ANGELES (AP) — Although she hasn't played Edith Bunker in nearly two years, Jean Stapleton is still busy separating herself from her most famous That's Isabel's choice. Should she pursuc her now career up the corporate lad- der? Or should she resign and marry Kiley? Stapleton first played inad i ization. Stapleton quit All in the Family in 1980 because she wanted to do other things after nine years as Archie's dingbat wife. In Isabel's Choice, which CBS will broadcast Wed- nesday night, she plays a middle-aged woman forced to choose between romance and a chance for a career as a business executive after years as a secretary. “The fact that she's dif- ferent from Edith entered into my decision to do this role,” Stapleton says. “I want to put distance between us. Everything I've done since then has been different.” She is also playing Eleanor Roosevelt in the CBS movie First Lady of the World. She finishes work on that film on Dec. 29. It will be broadcast at a later date. In Isabel's Choice, Stap- leton plays Isabel Cooper, a widow, who for many years has been the loyal executive secretary of a businessman, played by Richard Kiley. Suddenly, Kiley resigns when he is passed over for the company presidency by Peter Coyote. She prepares to leave the company, too, but her new boss persuades her to stay. She agrees, on the condition that she be given more res- ponsibility and authority. UNDERGOES CHANGE “She undergoes a subtle change,” Stapleton says. “She comes to realize she's been doing executive work all along. Then her former boss becomes a wodower, conveniently. They had al- ways loved each other. But he represents an attitude that is prevalent — he doesn't want his wife to work.” O'Toole mon- ologue called Soul of Iron, made to raise money for the preservation of Roosevelt's “ancestral home at Val-Kill (Dutch for Valley Stream) in New York as a_ national historic site. She says she was delighted when CBS approved produc- tion of First Lady of the World. The movie was filmed at Val-Kill and Hyde Park, as well as in London and Paris, scenes of Roosevelt's diplo- matic efforts on behalf of the United Nations. Stapleton says she met Roosevelt backstage in Chi- cago after a play. “She was radiant. She was a beautiful woman. I es- pecially remember her radi- ance.” {Community TU ey) 5:30—Sign on and program information, 5:35—Five-day weather re- port. 5:40—Castlegar Library storytime. 6:00—Labatts Racketball — Lou Derosa and Terry Jones compete for the -anior men's final of 1 is tournament held in Trail, Nov. 29/81. 6:45—Maria Crossley, West Kootenay artist, gives usa tour of her studio and discusses her work. 7:00—WARP Update — Jo Wild and Roberta Taylor interview a butcher on the topic of how to choose and prepare a tuckey. 7:30—The Cable Industry and Pay TV — A talk given by Ken Fowler, president of Cable West, to the Trail Ro- tary Club. 8:00—Canadian Little League Champs — This is a one-hour seg- ment of the game be- tween Trail and Lan- chaster, New Bruns- wick, which took place during the Can- adian Little League Championships in Vancouver this sum- mer. 9:00—Castlegar City Coun- cil meeting of Dec. 15, the first meeting of a newly-formed council. 10:30—(Approx) sign off. analyses work conditions By BGB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) — “Stupid, ridiculous and ul- timately self-defeating.” That's Peter O'Toole's analy- sis of working conditions after his first real experience in the Hollywood studios. O'Toole has been perform- ing in films since Kidnapped in 1959, mostly for American producers. His films include Lawrence of Arabia, Beckett, Lord Jim What's New Pus- sycat? The Lion in Winter, and Goodbye, Mr. Chips. He has escaped the Hollywood studio experience until] now. “Well, I did make some added scenes for Masada at Universal,” he said, “and al- though Stunt Man was shot mostly on location, we did a few pickup shots here.” O'Toole relaxed for a few The year is 1954, and Swann is booked on tele- vision’s Comedy Cavalcade, starring Stan (King) Kaiser (Joe Bologana).

Join the National Exhibition Cen- tre. It’s not as strange as it @ sounds. It works this way — when you join the centre you receive special reduced rates on the films, lectures, con- certs and workshops staged by the centre. The centre, which is oper- ated by the West Kootenay Cultural Society, is currently in the midst of its annual ip drive — and it's him in Benjy Stone (newcomer Mark Linn-Baker) an appar- entice comedy writer on the show. Swann attempts some of his movie stunts in real- life, including a Tarzon-like swing from a skyscraper on a fire hose. “I've never worked so hard nor had so much ejoyment,” O'Toole admitted. O'Toole sometimes gives the impression of being on the brink of collapse. That is deceptive, he remarked, ex- on his t-to-last day in My Favorite Year at MGM. His complaint was directed not at the movie, which he has enjoyed, but at studio thinking that decrees a full workday. He arrives for work in the eafly morning . and leaves well after dark. “It makes no sense," he declared, pushing a ciagar- ette into his holder. “Work- “T'm weedy. My fahter was the same way: weedy.

The centre, which was built in the middle 1970s, was started at the urging of a number of area residents. They approached the federal government to lend a hand and the government agreed to put up the money to build the centre and contribute an annual grant. But that grant doesn't cover all the costs, says Bloom. It is only about one- Bloom says Castlegar is actually in a fairly unique position in B.C. — if not Canada. “There ‘are only 25 {national exhibitioh ~ céntres “across the country — four of which are in B.C. Bloom says the local centre is also one of the most efficient — operating at half the budget of the other 24, but producing equal or bétter quality exhibits. But things are not looking good for next year, he adds. Power rates are on the in- crease, postage is going up and inflation is attacking the centre's budget. Bloom says the centre isn't ; just an exhibition hall. It also BERNIE BLOOM . «membership drive quarter to one-half the oper- ating budget.

Although he didn't get credit on the program, the main person was SHSS band: Lorne Culley, a product of our local school system. Lorne is the son of Ab and Marj Culley. Ab retired in May from the pay office at Cominco where he had been for six years, after the Benevolent Association of which he had been administrator was bargained away in 1976. Marj, after a successful primary teaching career at Kinnaird Elementary School, took an early retirement several years ago and now manages Maple Leaf Travel for Castlegar Savings Credit Union (where she has just taken over more spacious downstairs quarters). ‘ And speaking of Monday's band concert, the fellow with his nose in a book before the concert began and again and during the intermission was Blueberry Creek resident Gordon Read, a CGA in private practice in Trail. Name of the book: Budget 1981. Gordon has been to two seminars since Finance Minister Allan MacEachen’s budget, and has done a tremendous amount of reading. Now his only fear is that a great deal of his study might be in vain as MacEachen allegedly has further revisions (some call it “backtracking”) in mind. % Gordon says his parents, Les and Hilda Read, are in good health. Les (a former Trail mayor) retired to Victoria, and he and Hilda celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary last month. By the way, the proud father snapping pictures of the Woodland Quartet was Selkirk College electronics Smith His daugh and Kathy Sherlock, Lee Syrja and Cheryl North received excellent audience response to Mozart's Allelujah. + And one last reference to the band concert: Dick Wayling, the man with the talented vocal chords, thrilled the — but iously shared the limelight with the school’s popular Stage Band. THERE'S A “new” face at the local Bank of Montreal, but it's really an “old” face. Doug Mosby, son of Helen Mosby (a partner of Strand Street talk and Mosby) and the late Ed Mosby (a Castlegar mayor), has moved to Trail with his wife Marie and family and Doug commutes daily to his job here. The Mosbys returned to the Kootenays from Prince George where Doug was with the Continental Bank. A Stanley Humphries grad, he also attended Selkirk College before starting his banking career. JACK DILLEN of Ootischenia has spotted what must be either the first robin of the new season or the last robin of the year. Jack says he saw the bird Monday + sitting.in his fruit tree. The bird looked “fluffed up,” according to Jack. Your feathers would be a little ruffled too if you didn't know whether you were coming or going. HIGH ESTEEM in which new school board chairman George Anutooshkin is held is evidenced by the fact that when former board chairman Anne Jones decided not to seek re-election, she nominated George for tht position. LIFE IS FULL of experiences. Some make us happy while others come under the term “frustration.” How to classify Friday's incredible traffic jam would depend on if you had to wait the full time or if you came on the scene as traffic started to move again. We don't know all the details but one thing is certain. CP Rail found itself with a train breakdown across Columbia Avenue and it wasn’t going anywhere for some time. This led to frustrations for motorists looking for alternate routes. Some made the round trip via the ferry while others investigated the emergency road which in reality is the waterline right-of-way. For those who decided to wait it out, it made a spectactuar line-up that must have come close to the whole length of Columbia Avenue. MRS. BERTHA SMITH has something interesting to do for part of Sunday mornings now that she’s moved to Castlegar from Pass Creek: the SunCasNews Crossword Puzzle. Bertha, whose late husband, Jack, was one of the meray founders of the Castlegar Selkirk Lions Club and was active in automotive circles, always received her twice-weekly Castlegar News a day late through the post office's suburban service. Now that she's living in Castlegar, she remarks that it's “great” getting the news soon after it’s printed. In fact, on Sunday, she had been wondering about the large trailer sitting on property near the School District No. 9 maintenance sheds that she can see from the window of her new apartment.
