LOVERBOY
AIMS FOR
HITS

NEW YORK (AP) — Talk to Paul Dean, who plays:
the guitar, writes songs and. produces for Loverboy, and’
it soon becomes obvious what the Canadian band is after
in the recording studio: hit singles.

“I guess we're not artistic enough in that we would
like to have hits,” Dean says. “I think there's a lot of,
people who would suggest it's more important to have
integrity or to be making a new sound and a new
statement.

“Or that to be totally unique and break new ground
musically is more important than having a hit song that
the masses can dig. And to that I say, fine. Live in the
ghetto.”

Dean and company — vocalist Mike Reno, bassist
Scott Smith, drummer Matt Frenette and keyboardist
* Doug Johnson — have been out of the ghetto since their

= singles, Turn Me Loose and The Kid Is Hot Tonight, and
established the group's familiar guitar-keyboard sound.
The follow-up a year later, Get Lucky, had the Top 20
hits Working for the Weekend and When It's Over; 1983's
Keep It Up produced Hot Girls in Love and Queen of the
Broken Hearts and won six Juno awards — Canada's
equivalent of the Grammys.
RECORD HITS
Which brought Loverboy to 1985 and Lovin’ Every
Minute of It. Not surprisingly, this one had three hit
singles: the title song, the Bryan Adams-penned
Dangerous and the current This Could Be the Night.
“Every album I've known up front what the first
single was going to be, and what the second single was
going to be,” said Dean, whose instincts have yet to fail
him. “I knew Working for the Weekend was a hit the first
time we played it live, before it was ever recorded.”
However, Dean recalled in an interview that the
group didn’t always enjoy smash singles, multimillion-
selling albums and sold-out North American tours like
the one the band is currently doing.

and steering systems,” Smith told the society recently.

Battling in an increasingly international market,
Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. are determined not to
be left behind and have their own long-range projects.

Ford chairman Donald Peterson has described his
company’s project Alpha as an examination of “the entire
process,” adding that it is a program to determine how
the carmaker will go about business in the future.

“Alpha will extend through the manufacturing
operations and into distribution and finally how we deal
with the customer and servicing the product,” Petersen
said in a recent interview.

Chrysler executives say their project Genesis could,
if some serious problems can be overcome, produce cars
made of light-weight, reinforced plastic.

“Genesis could remove forever the smokestack label
that has been used to describe the North American

automobile industry,” Robert Sinclair, Chrysler's vice-
president of engineering, said.

Sinclair said a company * study suggests a plant
making plastic cars would require half the cophal
investment and tooling costs of a standard plan’

While Trilby, Alpha and Genesis are looking well into
the future, the carmakers have more immediate projects

which will dramatically change how cars are made.

“I remember the days of scraping and scratching,
living on soup or whatever. It was like, ‘hey, we got”
ketchup this week?’ Great, ketchup,” said Dean, laughing
in a Manhattan hotel suite. 4

That lasted about two years until the first album,
which sold more than two million copies in North
America. The band’s commercial success, however, did ©
not assure critical acclaim, and Dean is not surprised. |

“If I was a critic of our music, I would say these boys
lare not very literate. They don't write about plities, they
don't write about really worldly issues. They write about |
personal issues,” said Dean

“I think some of the songs people can really relate to. i
Turn Me Loose and Working for the Weekend are real
good examples of everyday life.”

WATCHES CHARTS

Although the band from British Columbia enjoys
watching its singles climb the charts, he said, the music is
not a product churned out solely to sell records.

The latest single, This Could Be the Night, was a

I ation between Dean and Jonathan Cain of the
band, Journey, that the Loverboy guitarist started
writing in 1979.

It’s the closest thing to a ballad the band has ever
done, but Dean said hé wasn't worried about it gaining
acceptance from Loverboy fans

“Lovin' Every Minute of It, I figured, was a smash,
or else I wouldn't have bothered with it,” he said,
explaining there were some problems in getting the song
on the album without going into detail.

Despite the band’s constant multiplatinum perfor.
mances, Dean insists there is never any pressure on the
band to top itself.

“I don't think it's ever a matter of, ‘geez, we've got to
be better than the last album or anybody else in the
marketplace,” the guitarist said. “It’s like, ‘let's just be
great, let's do the best we can.”

Firm one-of-a-kind

Making kiln sticks, stub
sticks, laths and custom-cut
lumber is providing jobs for
three Castlegar residents in
the Boundary Building, lo-
cated off Highway 3 over-
looking the city’s work yard.

Begun in November by
Dan and Linda Swanson,
Kootenay Lathe Co. takes
material from lumber com-

panies, turns it into a useful
product and sells'it back to
the companies.

Dan Swanson says his com-
pany is the only one of its
kind in the West Kootenay.

In addition to the Swan-
sons, Kootenay Lathe em-
ploys one other person,
Glenn Watt.

He described some of the

Centre forms
advisory board

The West Kootenay Enter-
prise Development Centre is
starting to attract the at-
tention of regional entrepre-

neurs.
Since opening eight weeks

cording to Wendy Stock, se-
retary to the centre's dir-
ector Doug Glover.

Glover says in a prepared
release that a first priority
has been the recruitment of
an advisory board to guide
the activities of the en-
terprise development centre.
So far, he has been successful
in drafting eight business-
men from across the Selkirk
College region.

Among those serving on
the advisory board are: Hugh
Brown of Trail, manager of
the Trail Branch of the Can
adian Imperial Bank of Com-
merce; Burt Campbell, pub-
lisher of the Castlegar News;
Peter Duck of Winlaw, a
Slocan Valley businessman;
Dennis Gerein of Trail, gen-
eral manager of the Koot-
enay Broadcasting System,
Ed Manning of Nelson, an
investment broker and mem-
ber of the Selkirk College
Board; James McMynn, ma-
yor of Midway; Dan Smith-
son, a Nelson alderman and
businessman and Harry Stan
of Castlegar, manager of
Castlegar’s Macleod’s store.

Glover has one more ad-
visory board position to fill
which he says he would like
to see occupied by a rep-
resentative from the
Nakusp/New Denver area.

“Qualifications for appoint-
ment to the advisory board
inelude extensive experience
and a degree of success in
business, together with a
commitment to community

i ‘id

Kootenay Enterprise Devel-
opment Centre, which is

products the company turns
out.

Lumber companies place
kiln sticks between green
lumber in drying kilns to
improve and quicken drying,
Watt said.

Stub sticks are placed in
brackets along the sides of
railway flatears to keep the
wood in place during ship-
ment.

Watt held up a sample of a
half-metre kiln stick showing
the one-by-six.piece of wood
laminated and nailed be-
tween two two-by-si: and

Watt also pointed out large
piles of stacked boards that
the company is custom-cut-
ting.

He said the company will
turn the two-by-tens or other

tapered at one end to fit into
the flatear’s brackets.
Kootenay Lathe also manu-
factures thin strips of wood
called laths which lumber

serving the entrepreneurial
and development needs of
the small business sector.

The centre's primary fune-
tion is to advise clients who
want to start a small bus-
iness, rescue their business
from financial difficulties, or
who want to develop ideas or
inventions into viable busi-
nesses, on what needs to be
done and how to do it. The
centre guides each client
through the process until a
satisfactory conclusion is
reached, with clients doing
the actual work as an edu-
cation process.

“We are most concerned
that the majority of people
we have seen so far haven't
the slightest idea of what
they are getting into,” said
Glover.

He encourages those with
an interest in developing a
business to come in and dis-
cuss their ideas — it costs
nothing for a consultation.
