Weisbrich

workshop

A well-known local water-
color artist, Les Weisbrich,
will be conducting a water-
color workshop at the Na-

After training at the Kahn
Institute of Art in Los An-

operated his own studio in
Beverly Hills for 25 years,

In the late 1960s he and his
family moved to New Den-

career; painting every day,
recording the natural beauty
of the area — the intricacies,
of nature's pattern, textures,
colors and atmospheric
changes.

The Italian-born director,
designer’ and writer has
made a film version of the
160-year-old Verdi opera La
Traviata,. starring Toronto-

It is not a stage production on

something that is nice to look

La Traviata is more than
simply “nice to look at." The
settings, designed by Zeffi-
relli himself, are stunning
reproductions of 19th’ cen-

music is sung gloriously ‘by
some of the opera world’s

Zeffirelli had long yearned to
film an opera.

He and Leonard Bernstein

Pursuit of puma
drives him
to drink

TORONTO (CP) — For R. D. Lawrence, a near-tectotal-
ler on the job, the search for the puma was a two-bottle as-
signment.

‘He entered British Columbia's Selkirk Mountains area
one September, ferrying in supplies, including a bottle of
brandy and a bottle of scotch, in a series of exhausting cance

, trips. By the time be left the following July, with material
_ for a new book entitled The Ghost Walker, the booze was

ne. .
“Sometimes J like a taste, maybe just a sip, at the end of
a long, hard day,” he says of his 10 months, totally removed
from human contact, living in a-shack he built.

Born in Spain and educated in England, where he came
within a hair of earning a biology degree, Lawrence, 61, has
been pretty much on the move all his life, roaming and
writing about his adventures. :

His 18 books include The North Runner, the story of an
unusual wolf-dog; The Zoo That Never Was, describing:
animals he has cared for; and Voyage of the Stella, an
account of a solitary six-month exploration of coastal British
Columbia.

But his pursuit of the puma, also known as a cougar or
mountain lion, kept him in one place for an unusually long
time in 1972, observing one of North America’s least-under-
stood species,
7 RECOUNTS VIGILS

His book tells of the incredibly hard work of establish-
ing himself in the wilderness, of the patient of night-long
waits to observe his subject and how he eventually won the
trust of two members of the species,

But The Ghost Walker is much more than just a
day-to-day diary of his adventure. It is spiced with his recol-
lections of other similar episodes, colored by his ob-

, Servations of nature in the raw and made dramatic by the

The Ghost
Walker — More
than a diary’

fact of his survival alone in a perilous and unforgiving
wilderness.

It fulfils his objective of telling the story of nature in
straightforward, but often gripping, language, without the
scientific lingo of the biologist,

it was his rebellion against what he terms “the jargon-

. tiddled language of science” that cost him his degree. He

wrote his final paper “in English,” as he puts it, The
professor said he accepted his data but couldn't accept his

, non-scientific approach to writing.

Lawrence feels the only way to do pure research is to
live the way the subject does. Most biologists do not have
the time or inclination to approach a project the way he does,

He worked as a journalist in London for a while and
then looked abroad, first to South Africa and Australia and
finally settled on Canada,

QUITSTAR. -

Arriving in Toronto in 1954, he realized “I'd just traded
one city for another.” So he quit his job with the Toronto
Star without notice — “they still owe me three weeks’ pay”
— and started travelling. .

Alone in the wilderness, does he ever worry about being
sick or injured?

“I worry more about my health my than I did 80 years
ago, but life is just as dangerous travelling in a car in
Toronto.” Anyway, he insists, he’s something of “a chicken”
in the wild. “Tl go a mile out of my way to avoid risk."

_ After the puma adventure, he checked into a lavish
Vancouver hotel, enjoyed numerous hot baths, had
wonderful, threé-hour meals topped off with brandy, but
found he was suddenly nervous in crowds.

After a few days, he says, the grand food lost its taste.
In the woods, often starving after a particularly tong vigil,
he enjoyed his own simple food much more, maybe just a
stew or porridge, and savored every spoonful. “To me those
humble meals tasted like the food of the gods.”

TRIPS SHORTER :

Now married and relatively settled for the first time in

his life, ina. house north of Lindsay, Ont., he still takes off on

concern the artists Michel-
angeloand Leonardoda Vinci,
Zeffirelli also is preparing a
movie based on Schiller’s
Mary Stuart, which he re-
cently staged in Vienna with
Valentina Cortesa in the title
role.

council
formed

VANCOUVER (CP) — Ian

Greenwood, former head of'a.
fruit processing” firm, has.

been’ named the first chair-
man:,of' British . Columbia's
newly formed Press Council,

Greenwood, former gen-
eral. manager and chief exe:
cutive: officer of B.C. Tree
Fruits "Ltd. and Sun Rype
Products Ltd., was named to
head the watchdog ‘council
because he is a person who is
independent: both in his own
right’ ‘and. with ‘regard to
newspapers, said Vancouver
Province’ publisher Gerry
Haslam, s

“I khow very little about
newspapers but I hope I

bring fairness to any’ de-:

cision,” said Greenwood, who

* lives in Kelowna,

“I believe strongly in free-
dom ‘of the press. I believe

‘the public should have a

forum to air its complaints,
I'm going to do my best to
bring the press council off to.
a good start.”

Greenwood, who retired
from the fruit industry late

last year, was chosen from 24 ,

candidates and will be paid
an annual honorarium of
$10,000. :

‘Also named to the nine-

: member council ‘were four

directors representing news-
papers. They are John Koby-
Inik, publisher and general
manager of the Penticton

Herald; Don Hunter, a re-

porter with The Province;
Iris Christison, ‘publisher of

bec already have press coun-

PAPERS JOIN

Greenwood noted that
with all of B.C.'s 20 dailies
and 74 community papers,
the council has an “excellent
start.”

The council has set eight
objectives, including:

To preserve - the ~estab-
lished freedom of the press;

To serve as a medium of
understanding between the
public and the press;

To encourage the highest
ethical, professional and com-
mercial standards of jour-
nalism;

To consider complaints
from the public about the
conduct of the press in the
gathering and publication of
news and opinion.

The council will also hear
complaints from members of
the press denied access to in-
formation of public interest
or complaints involving the

conduct of individuals toward

the press. .

The press council plans to
publicize all complaints it
deems justified.

The council will not handle
complaints involving member
newspapers unless the paper
has first been given an op-
portunity to deal with it.
Persons bringing complaints

must also sign an agreement.

not to take legal action
against the complaint.

‘Haslam said he hoped the
council will eliminate “frivo-
lous lawsuits” against news-
papers.

Police removed a dozen
people, including one woman
who put a blanket over her

Police cars pulled: up in

clinic was sealed off by plain-

assistants at the clinic were
arrested.

The people taken for ques-

Stephen told reporters
that police searched the
premises, located in a resi-

The clinic, which Morgen-
