Michael Jackson album to be released Monday By RICHARD DE ATLEY Press Associated LOS ANGELES — It's been four years since Michael Jackson's “Thriller” LP was released, an effort which sold 40 million copies worldwide and produced eight Grammys and seven top 10 singles, including Beat It and Billie Jean. CBS records will release Jackson's first LP since Thriller, daringly called Bad, on Monday. The eccentric per- former begins his first solo tour on Sept. 12 in Japan to promote the record. He will tour Australia and New Zealand, Canada, the United States and Europe. How well the album does will take a back seat to talk on the eccentricities of its multimillionaire artist. Jackson, who turned 29 on Aug. 29, is private and inaccessible to all but a gloveful of friends and associates. There have been claims that he wanted to live 150 years by using an oxygen pressure chamber, that he keeps a huge is Week in DEXTER’S PUB — THURS. THRU SAT.

Then there were his recent efforts to buy the deformed skeleton of Elephant Man John Merrick for $1 million. CREATES SHRINE He also created a shrine to actress Elizabeth Taylor in his home and has mannequins he reportedly dressed to resemble Miss Taylor, Miss Ross and actress Sophia Loren. A devoted Jehovah's Witness for many years, the sect recently confirmed that Jackson is no longer a member. His relationship with the group has been strained since his ghoul-filled “Thriller” video opened him to charges he was pillow-talk sequence by actually lying in a bed with Zucarelli’s head-shaped robotic recorder. No one surrounding Jackson is willing to comment on his activities, and there was no response from his publicist, Lee Solters, to 2 request from The Associated Press fer an interview with the performer, His representatives, however, took a sharp turn and went public a year ago when Jackson decided he wanted to buy a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for his home. Doctors said use of the chamber, which forces oxyfén into the system through pressurization, was dangerous without constant supervision by a physician. ISSUES STATEMENT “I am extremely unhappy with Michael's decision,” said manager Frank DiLeo at the time in a rare statement of disapproval from Jackson's camp. When the pop star wanted to buy Merrick’s deformed skeleton last May from London Hospital Medical College, DiLeo said Jackson's doubled offer of $1 million was “to show the seriousness of his intent and his guarantees to assume reponsibility of Mr. Merrick’s remains." Merrick died in London in 1890 after suffering from a case of neurofibromatosis, characterized by benign lumps on the skin and nerve cell tumors. ‘ His eccentricity also extends to his menagerie of chimpanzees, snakes, llamas, giraffes, tarantulas and black swams, according to Laszlo de Borondy, owner of Casa de Pets in Sherman Oaks, where Michael Jackson sometimes purchases his pets.

COMBINATION EXPRESS NIGHT Call 364-0933 @ 1:30-9:30 p.m. BASED ON DIARIES By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press When the great Russian writer Lev (Leo) Tolstoy was an aristocratic youth of 14, he was introduced by his older brothers to the delights of low society — gambling, drinking, gypsy women and prostitutes. By age 19 he was condemning such activities, and thus began a lifelong inner battle between his lusty human nature and his idealistic principles. When he was 30, he seduced a peasant woman living on the Tolstoy estate. Their relationship was like a marriage, he wrote, and she bore him a son, but he was deeply ashamed of being such a “beast” in taking advantage of her. He was 34, well-travelled and already famous, when, on Sept. 23, 1862, he married Sonya Andreenva Bers, a slim beauty of 18 who had led a sheltered, privileged life within the Kremlin where her father was physician to the imperial palace. KEPT DIARY Since he was 18, Count Tolstoy had kept a brutally frank diary of his exploits, recording his recurring failings and setting’anew his idealistic goals. It was his idea that his bride should also keep an intimate diary. This was to be an open honest marriage, each reading the other's diary, and to get things started Tolstoy gave his bride-to-be all his back diaries to study. For young Sonya the honesty was almost too much. She wept for days over the ghastly details of Tolstoy's rowdy early life and almost called off the wedding. But ultimately she agreed to marry him — and to keep a diary. Their diaries over 48 years provide material from which author Louise Smoluchowski has drawn for her book Lev and Sonya, subtitled The Story of the Tolstqy Marriage. And what a story it is, fuli of soaring happiness, passionate sex, unbridled anger, guilt and retribution. MANY MOODS By their own words, Sonya is often portrayed as hysterical — a device she used to get Lev’s attention — and be is alternately selfish and long-suffering. Both, says the author, were idealistic, sensitive, volatile, easily jealous and prone to painful self-analysis. Smoluchowski, who lives with her astrophysicist husband and children in Texas, does not take sides in painting her portrait of a marriage that for the first 20 years was largely joyful, marked by the arrival of many children — Sonya had 14 pregnancies, including mis- carriages — and publication of War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Sonya, an extremely intelligent woman and lover of music, did not know how to be idle and she spent hours correcting, editing and copying Tolstoy's writings. Nor was she prudish about discussing physical relations, as her diaries show. Tolstoy was a great family man who idolized his children, but gradually his deep depressions brought clouds over the marriage. Sometimes he turned against sex as sinful, becoming preoccupied with religion and even thinking of suicide. Later he got into trouble with church and state because his views on religion, his pacificism and his outspoken support for oppressed peoples were at'odds with the autocratic monarchy of the day. Once again he was torn by inner turmoil. While others inspired by his writings were jailed or exiled, he remained safely out of the fray. Although he preached poverty, he couldn't bring himself to give up his estates and the luxury of having a full-time doctor resident in his home. The Tolstoys’ malevolent daughter Sasha, along with other disciples of Tolstoy's principles, played on his feelings of guilt and persuaded him to will all his literary works, and their proceeds, to the cause of liberty — despite Sonya’s wish that they go toward supporting his family Finally, in 1910, in failing health, he escaped the conflict between his wife and daughter, taking an aimless trip which ended in a small railway station. There, in the station-master's house, he was surrounded on his death bed by those who had manipulated him, while the ostracized Sonya wandered pathetically around the railway tracks, trying to get a glimpse of her husband through the frosted windows. Nine years later, surrounded by her family, Sonya died at age 66 But before that she won a victory when the Russian Senate ruled that all of Tolstoy's manuscripts be handed over to his widow.

The results are from the first phase of a $375,000 exploration program this year on the property, located in eastern Nevada. The program includes 24,000 feet of hole No. 51) cutting 370 feet, indicated grades of .08 ounces of gold per ton from the surface to 370 feet with shorter lengths of higher grade. This hold was drilled at the site of hole No. 21, which was drilled last year and only went to 160 feet indicating grades of .04 ounces of gold- per ton to that depth. The new results increase the size of the Upper Main Zone, which is open for expansion to the northwest. A grid drilling program on 200-foot centres, now getting under way on the Main Zone (located 2,000 feet southeast of hole No. 51), will be expanded to include the Upper Main Zone northwest of hole No. 51. Grid drilling is also planned on the Access Zone, drilling, which is being done in two phases. The first phase assay results are now coming in from widely-spaced holes on a variety of targets. The second phase will be grid drilling on three gold zones. The results from hole No. 51, located in the Upper Main Zone, cutting 65 feet, indicated grades of .08 ounces of gold per ton from 60 to 130 feet in the hold. Results from hole No. 40 (in the same zone, 500 feet southeast of located 4,000 feet southeast of hole No. 51. The grid drilling phase had been planned for 10,000 feet of drilling of holes spaced 200 feet apart, but now more drilling will be done. Cominco Resources holds a 60 per cent interest in the project, with a 40 per cent participating interest held by the U.S. Minerals Exploration Company. The property covers more than 5,000 acres. Fish farming boom VANCOUVER (CP) — Tom May sits in a high- priced corner suite on the 17th floor of a Vancouver office building, talking about foreign investors and the process of implanting young salmon with computer chips. Four-hundred kilometres away on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, Pat Moore relaxes in the kitchen of his cedar home overlooking the water. He points to the location of his floating salmon pens. Both men are fish farmers on either end of British Columbia’s newest marine industry that runs the gamut from family operations to large businesses. Since 1983, the number of fish farms in British Colum- bia has jumped from seven to more than 100. Another 400 licence appli cations are under review and the provincial government estimates fish farming could be worth $200 million a year by the turn of the century. By then, the government expects the industry to be producing 20,000 tonnes of fish annually and providing work for almost 3,500 people, either directly or in related businesses. Just about: three-quarters of the farm fish is currently shipped to the United States. Most of the rest is shipped east to Ontario while the remainder stays in British Columbia. The job of supplying a potential worldwide demand for fresh salmon 12 months of the year has not been with- out growing pains in British Columbia. “It’s not a gold mine or a bonanza,” says Moore. “There are about 400,000 things that can go wrong.” PLACES BAN Controversy over the in- dustry’s lack of regulation and its effect on the environ- ment and commercial fishery prompted the provincial government to place a ban on new farm licences last Octo- ber. The ban's been lifted in stages since January when the government adopted 52 Scandinavian food, c NORDICFEST '87 Sept. 18, 19, 20 in Libby, Mt. An annual communit wide celebration of 's, music and dancing recommendations from an inquiry that called for tighter rules for locating and oper- ating farms and more con- sultation between farmers, commercial fishermen and the public. May, president of Royal Pacific Sea Farms, says that while no fish farmers have bankrupt, some are close. Investors need up to $1 million to research and locate a site and build floating net- encased pens to raise the fish. Expensive feed for salmon can account for al- most 75 per cent of annual operating expenses. and smolts — young salmon — can take 18 to 36 months to grow to market size. Some farmers have had to refinance their holdings sev- eral times or take on part- ners. Canadian banks, mean- while, remain’ hesitant to finaflce operating costs. The Canadian Bank Act recog- nizes livestock such as cattle and poultry as securit: live captive fish don't qualify. May, whose company has nine farm sites and a 2,000- tonne capacity, said there is still room in the industry for small operations if they are run efficiently. RUNS EXPERIMENT At the same time, there is room for high-tech advances. May’s company is running a breeding experiment that identifies the fastest growing fish through a radio trans- ponder implanted in smolts. For the last three years, Moore has operated his fish farm with his wife, in-laws and three full-time em- ployees. Weekly stocks By The Canadian Press After a marathon runup, the stock market in New York collapsed this week, hitting the brick wall of a weaker U.S. dollar and rising interest rates — dragging prices in Toronto with it. Share prices in Toronto have been drifting downward for the past two weeks, but New York — on a roll since May — hit a record high as recently as, last Tuesday. However, the market simply ran out of steam this week after disappointing news on the U.S. trade deficit earlier in the month started the dollar falling and interest rates climbing.
