Contvown Photo by Mare Piche and 30, listen closely, then explode into applause on the last note. From the basement studio came a master tape put together by two masters. Arnie is a self-taught key. boardest who played football for York University before he realized his gift for writing songs. While Wolf studied film production and psychology at university, he played in bebop jazz bands and composed experimental music similar to John Cage, Stockhausen and Arabic per- cussion. WEA records reacted to the pair's tape high-spirited crowd at the Hi-Arrow Arms Motor Inn Thursday night. It was a celebration for a groyp who had just discovered that they had been nominated for a Juno Award:for Best New Canadian Band of 1987. From the opening notes of Yum Bai Ya, group leaders Arnold Lanni and Wolf Hassel led the five-man band through a tight concert set that included their North American hit single, Should I See, a song inspired by the journalist blackout in South Africa, and their newest radio-play, Promises, a song written about sexuality in the priesthood. Arnold towers at centre stage, his long mee coat ing his i His high ch: nose and imposing forehead stands out in the white ‘ight as he sings Beware the Masque, a song he wrote to discuss the controversial subject of televangelism. “And the blind will lead the blind and all who see with their hearts.” for: Arnold and Wolf worked with Sheriff long enough ‘to cut an album and tour Canada five times. But they were un satisifed with being told what would sell, what they should play, and what image they had to have to succeed in the eyes of the record company. After a year away from music — following the break-up of Sheriff — Arnold and Wolf decided to do everything backward. They started by building a studio in Arnold's basement in Toronto, . Halfway through the set, the band is playing the old Crosbie-Stills-Nash-and-Young protest song, Ohio. Wolf's heavy electric guitar dies down and the stage darkens as Arnold's piano takes over quietly leading into Soldier's Cry. Arnold's voice is hoarse from the concert in Vancouver. It makes the song into a powerful human lament. The bar crowd, mainly between the ages of 20 , and p ion began on the first self- titled album. The second set is warmed up by guitar madman Johnny Gargiano, who comes out by himself to play bits and pieces of Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles. The band starts up in a more casual mood, and the small area in front fills quickly with dancers. Love without Lies leads to an extended sing-along that crosses into a Frozen Ghost version of the Beatles’ Hard Day's Night. It takes a long time before the crowd will let Frozen Ghost pack up. The band members who have played as a warm-up band in Madison Square Gardens, and had just played their own concert in Vancouver, loved every minute of their bar band venue. After the gig, Wolf chatted with me in the lounge. He grins beneath his wild Medusa hairstyle when I mention his educated background. “If you want me to, I could lie and tell you that I was a Grade 8 dropout and spent my adolescence in reform schools because I used to steal everything I could lay my hands on, including cars, drugs and small children.” The truth is much less colorful. Both Wolf and Arnold have wives and families in Toronto. They've left behind the days when they needed the fake rock and roll role playing. “Now we want to give an honest representation of who we are, instead of some predetermined image. Arnie’s writing and singing about things he feels about, instead of “hey baby, you look good, come up to my room and listen to my CDs.” Asked about the political overtones of their music, Wolf was quick to point out that Frozen Ghost didn’t have a militant message. The songs are mainly observations. “Music should be fun,” Wolf added. “Arnie’s lyrics can be taken on different levels. It gives people the option to listen to the lyrics, or drink beer and enjoy the music.” Castlegar getsa taste of high-tech By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer Castlegar miay not ‘be Silicon Valley yet, but a new high-tech business here is slowly introducing the city to the era of modern Columbia VideoTex, situated in an unflattering grey building, houses'a six-man operation that, in the span of one short year,fias managed to make sales across the country. Alan Melnnis, who owns and operates the company with partner Ken Cazakoff, is in the business of selling and installing television display advertising systems. By digplay adverteing, McInnis does not mean the dull, line by line, type ads that cable often run, but a 24-hour-a-day system that offers a range of over 4,000 colors, has almost unlimited capacity to reproduce graphics, can display still, color pictures and even boasts limited animation. Already, VideoTex has sold systems in most provinces across Canada with seven alone sold in New Brunswick. For a local example of their least expensive system, (the System 1 would cost a cable company approximately $16,000 to purchase) Castlegar's Shaw Cable uses one to advertise its Showease channel. Shaw uses it strictly for self-pro- motion, describing what movies and features are coming up on the channel, but McInnis emphasizes that system does not have to be limited to adver or He said it can be used to display any kind of information, ineluding arrival and departure times at airports or offering community information in hotels. McInnis said the beauty of both the System 1 and the more sophisticated System 11 (which costs approximately $30,000) is its simplicity to operate. “This system is no more difficult than any standard, computer graphics program,” he said. “That would include even home computer games.” Once a system is purchased, McInnis said VideoTex provides two days of on-site training. After that, the new operator should be able to offer a potential advertiser any number of display options. For example, a real estate company could flash full color pictures of homes on the market, both interior and exterior, with information accompanying it. McInnis said the idea of cable advertising is nothing new, but being the first company to offer a tok display advertising system was. McInnis, 31, said he got the idea to start the business while walking the picket line during last year's ten-month long strike at Shaw Cable. He said he met with Cazakoff, also 31, to discuss using a system that Cazakoff had developed for displaying tourist information in the display cable advertising field. In only one month, the two had a package ready for Buckhorn mine looks promising By JERRY BUCK LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Emmy awards show cele- brates the best of network television, but for the first time in 30 years none of the three major networks will carry it. Instead, the 39th annual awards of the Academy of Television Arts Sciences will be televised tonight by Fox Broadcasting Co., the rookie network that snatched it away from the majors with a bigger bid. The program will be syndicated in Canada. “Is it going to be different?” asked executive producer Doh Ohimeyer. “You tune in, you're going to see the Emmy ‘awards. “We're not re-inventing the wheel. We're going to guide the audience more, which I think will make it more enjoy- able; give them more of an idea of what's going on.” The networks were not happy when the upstart Fox grabbed the Emmys show for three years by bidding $1.25 million a year. That was far more than the networks, which had rotated the telecast annually, had been willing to pay. Fox also paid for a special on the academy's Hall of Fame, which the networks had threatened to dump. One big difference this year will be the lack of production numbers. “People tune into see winners,” Ohlmeyer said, “not singing and “dancing. However, we will have some production pieces that will be tributes to Hill Street Blues, Jackie Gleason and Fred Astaire.” sizes ore limited . . . 365-2927.

The first deeper hole, drilled to a depth of 870 feet, intersected 3.8 ounces of gold per ton and 11.3 ounces of silver per ton over a 15 foot section at a depth of 415 to 430 feet. The overlying 25 feet average 0.09 ounces of gold per ton, the company says in a prepared release. The Other results from the hole, which contains detect- able gold throughout, are from a depth of 725 to 750 feet containing an average 0.23 ounces per ton; from a depth of 480 to 506 feet, an average 0.11 ounces per ton; and in five intervals in the upper ‘part of the hole, average grades are 0.04 to 0.05 ounces per ton. Check assays from two laboratories have confirmed the high grade nature of the original assays of the best 15- foot section, with variations due to nugget effect. The higher grade zone could be limited to a narrow “feeder” zone or it could be part of a zone of significant size. Follow-up drilling is under way. Cominco owns lying 15 feet rs 0.22 ounces of gold per ton for a total 65-foot interval (890 to 445 feet) averaging 1.1 ounces of gold per ton. 76.4 per cent of the Buckhorn mine and the remainder is owned by Equinox Resources Ltd. Stock report display at g May 1986 National’Cable Convention. Th fact, they sold the very first cable advertising system ever in Canada. MelInnis, who has lived in the Kootenay’s for eight years, and Cazakoff, a graduate of Selkirk College's electronics program, are now eyeing the American market. But MelInnis said companies are sometimes wary of VideoTex because it has only been in business for one year and has no major investor backing it. “But we've seen a lot of the seemingly big players come and go in the past year,” said MeInnis. “And so far, we've sold more cable players than anyone.” No surprisingly, McInnis said many people are surprised to find out they hail from a small community. “Everyone thinks you must be from Vancouver,” he said. “Or they're always asking why you're not based in Toronto.” However, MeInnis emphasized that high-tech bus- inesses do not need to be located in large urban centres. “That's the beauty of technology,” he said. “You can choose your work environment.” MelInnis explained that with VideoTex and many re- lated high-tech industries, shipping costs are low because the materials being sent are physically small. And he added that Selkirk College's new programs have helped by recognizing the need to train students in high- tech industries. “Before, we would have had to operate in Vancouver or Toronto,” he said. “But technology is going to allow communities like Castlegar to potentially boom. “You no longer have to be site specific for your job.” TECHNOLOGY . - Ken Cazakoff (left) ane Alan Mcin- A. of postlble graphics shat canbe uted In dply edver nis discuss a color graphic, just one tising, C CanttewsPhote by Mike Kabesnsh o A.M.
