Campbell recently com- pleted her degree in Edu- cation at UBC, and Abenante completed her third year in the same faculty. Both students have work- ed for the library in previous years, and bring their com- bined experience, resources and enthusiasm to this year's program, which as usual, is designed to stimulate read- ing and provide fun and en- tertainment during the sum. mer months for elementary school age children. In addition, the students are planning a weekly session for toddlers and pre-school- ers. The program will start on July 13 and will be held in the new library building on 3rd Street.

Bernsen back in NY NEW YORK (AP) — Cor bin Bernsen, the actor who plays shark-like divorce law yer Arnie Becker on L.A. Law, struggled for years in New York before going home to Los Angeles to land the standout role on the hit NBC show. So imagine coming back here with a big part in a major movie, Hello Again, with top stars Shelley Long and Judith Ivey and noted director Frank Perry “That's the best! That’s the best!" Bernsen exclaimed, clinching his fists and inter. rupting for the moment his laid-back status on the sofa. “On the plane back here I was going, ‘I'm gonna shove it to this person, and I'm gonna shove it to that person, and I'm gonna tell them what I think.” oe When it came down to it, though, he admitted he couldn't “shove it” to any. one, though he said he was still lying in wait for a couple of unidentified unfortunates who had never even let him in the door, believing rumors he was “cold and caleulating.” “Because I'm a lot of things, but I'm not those things,” he said. “And those people I can't wait to see. When not licking his chops over the prospect of meeting up with persons who slighted him in leaner years, Bernsen comes off more as earnest and unassuming than cold and calculating. Though he had his pick of movie roles, he says he chose a part not too removed from his TV self, because that’s what he thinks people expect to see. He describes the YOU'RE INVITED TO...

Law, whjch he finds reminiscent of his favor- ite play, Murray -Schisgal's two-character, black comedy, The Tiger. In his six years in New York, he took acting lessons and did some work on stage. He even built a theatre in loft for his acting school. He learned carpentry from his mother, Jeanne Cooper, a star on the soap opera The Young and the Restless (she played Becker's mother on an episode of L.A. Law), and his godfather, a Los Angeles Stations ban new record NEW YORK (Reuters) — A new record by George Michael, former lead singer for the British pop group Wham, called I Want Your Sex has been banned by several U.S. radio stations because the lyrics are too steamy for the age of AIDS. In addition, MTV, the popular music cable televi sion station, is refusing to show the video of the song, I Want Your Sex, in its pres. ent form. Michaels manager says the troubles are due to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome epidemic which has made radio and television stations leary of songs deal. ing with sex. “Sex is natural, sex is fun,’ sings the blue-eyed Briton, “Sex is best when it’ one. on-one.” builder. “T live in one of his places out there now, one of his places I helped build,” Bern: sen said. “T've always liked it (car- pentry). Other than acting, and sometimes writing when the writing happens, it's probably the most satisfying thing in the world.” He was the Winston man in the cigarette ads, then land- ed a part in the soap opera Ryan's Hope. It wasn't until Steven Bochco and Terry Louise Fisher picked him to play the womanizing sharpie Becker that Bernsen was well-known outside the business. jow his face is on the covers of magazines, his name frequently—in gossip columns. He is good-natured about the sex-symbol image, but says he doesn’t like “the trashy part, who I'm dating or who I'm not dating.” “The art of what I do is fascinating to me, and there- in lies with me the whole thing. And the sex-symbol stuff is kind of a publicity thing that's part of it,” he said He added, “I've come to grips with it. Better I be a sex symbol than not.” In one of the sexiest shows on network television, Bern. sen gets some of the sexiest scenes. But when we left Becker at season's end, he was curled up alone on his office couch. “We don’t want to wallow in that. I think we'll go back (to the way Arnie was),” Bernsen said Bernsen recalled reading an article suggesting that in the age of AIDS, even the promiscuous Becker might get married next season “I'd love to get married and have a terrible mar riage.” Bernsen said. “That would be great! That would be wonderful! Wouldn't that be great?” Easy Access no Stairs «EILM 1O DOING MOR FINE TUNING HOLLYWOOD (AP) — “The face on the cutting room floor” is a phrase that can strike terror in an actor's heart. Ask Charles Durniffg — he knows. A few months ago the veteran character actor was thrilled to be cast by Woody Allen in a new comedy. For three months, Durning worked under Allen's direction at Long Island locations for the film, which remains untitled. After assembling this movie, Allen decided major changes were needed. Could Durning work another three months? No, he had another commitment. So all of his Scenes, plus those of Sam Shepard and Maureen O'Sullivan, had to be scrapped while Allen went back to the drawing board. How did Durning feel? “Like a man who's done a painting and can't show it to anybody.” Durning was a victim: of the movie industry's fine-tuning process, which is designed to maximize box-office results and minimize costly failures. Studios have always fiddled with their products during post-production, but they are increasingly testing and reassessing their finished movies and sometimes making painful and expensive changes. When Lorimar executives studied the preview cards for the soon-to-be released Made in Heaven, they decided the Alan Rudolph movie needed a new ending. The film is a fantasy in which Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis have a 40-year romance on Earth and in heaven. DIRECTOR BALKS Rudolph balked, arguing his ethereal scene in heaven was the only way to’end the film. Lorimar insisted on a change, and the director was ready to declare war but finally produced an ending that pleased both him and the studio. Preview audiences seemed to feel let down by the romantic ending of Blind Date, the movie debut for TV's Bruce Willis (Moonlighting). So director Blake Edwards dug into his bag of tricks for a slam-bang finish that had Willis climb a high, rickety ladder and co-star Kim Basinger, wearing a couture wedding gown, fall into a swimming pool. “We always have two or three research screenings as early as possible so we can plan the campaign,” said Robert Dingilian, marketing director for Columbia Pictures. “The screenings are sometimes on the lot, but usually in theatres. Orange County provides a good cross-section of the audience, but sometimes we'll go to Santa Barbara or as far away as Kansas City or New York. “The screenings give the filmmakers a chance to tinker and change the film, and often it plays infinitely better on the second preview. The audience reaction and the preview cards can also give the marketing people a direction for their campaign.” Previewing serves two purposes. First, the editing of the film can be greatly improved and.a sure loser can sometimes be turned into a moneymaker. Second, it can provide a marketing strategy and aim at a specific audience. If a female audience is the target, for instance, TV ads might run during the soap operas; if a young, upscale audience is sought, then a studio would use The Letterman Show and Saturday Night Live. OLD TECHNIQUE Post-production refining is almost as old as Hollywood itself. The technique was perfected by Irving Thalberg, whose name is on the Academy Award for high quality of production. In 1931, he screened a tearjerker called Lullaby, starring Helen Hayes and Robert Young. It bombed, and Thalberg was advised to shelve the picture. Instead, he ordered new scenes and a different ending, re-shot two-thirds of the film and released it as The Sin of Madelon Claudet. It was a box-office hit and won Hayes her first Academy Award. Except for Woody Allen, who writes his own rules, today's filmmakers are usually unable to shoot retakes. “Thalberg could do it, because MGM had all of the actors under contract,” said producer Walter Mirisch. “Now it's too... expensive. As soon as a picture is over, the actors are strewn to the winds. That’s why on my films I make the best assembly possible when two weeks of shooting remain. Then I screen it with the director to see if any reshooting or added scenes are advisable.” Ny. ‘ June 10, 1987 Castlégar News al w% < ar PRINCE GEORGE (CP) — The Prince George Regional Hospital has applied to the provincial Labor Rel: Board to ly declare the one-day walkout by labor June 1 illegal, a union said spokesman for the two unions. * Hospital applies to board essential care workers was provided and the union ‘The Hospital Empl y ’ Union rep support staff at the hospital, and the Health Sciences Association Tuesday. .

Air B.C. acquires planes VANCOUVER (CP) — Air B.C. has bought two used 50-seat de Havilland Dash 7s to allow it to redeploy its fleet and free up 36-passen ger Dash 8s for service on a new route between Van couver and Prince George. Starting June 14, the Air Canada subsidiary will offer four flights a day to Prince George, ending a monopoly on the run enjoyed by Can- adian Airlines International. Canadian flies 115-seat Bo- eing 737s between Vancou- ver and Prince George in a time of one hour. The regular fare is $144. Air B.C., using Dash 8s, will offer a flying time of 70 minutes and an introductory one-way fare of $79. Air B.C. president Iain Harris said Tuesday in a paper indicated the Con- servatives had 43 per cent support, Labor 35 per cent and the Alliance 20 per cent. It gave no margin of error. The results were unchanged from a Today poll published Saturday: The Gallup poll of 2,505 voters for the Daily Telegra- ph put the Conservatives at 41 per cent, Labor at 34 per cent and the Alliance at 23.5 per cent, with a three-per- cent margin of error. The Labor party has dis- missed the opinion polls, saying they produce distort- ed figures and that the gap between them and the Con- marry divorcee servatives is much narrower and could be closed. Thatcher left the campaign trail for 18 hours to attend the economic summit in Ven- ice. 5 Returning to London Tue- sday, Thatcher, 61, grabbed a welcoming kiss from husband Denis before flying to Har- rogate in northern England to tell voters they face Britain's most crucial election this century. “Labor is the reckless party — reckless about de fence, about inflation, about trade union powers,” she said. Thateher said her gov- ernment has rebuilt national defence, curbed union power, reduced inflation and trans- formed an economy blighted by “the ‘British disease’ into Europe's success story.” She warned Britons that a Labor victory could condemn them “to a second-class life in a third-class country.” Meanwhile, Kinnock, 45, fighting his first campaign as Labor leader on a platform of tuctear—disarma- y A spokesman for the Can adian High Commission in London said it is unaware of any wedding plans. 13th in line to the throne but corrected it to 17th.

Attorney General Brian Smith announced Tuesday an assistance program for crime victims, including a toll-free information line to refer vic- tims to local support groups. The provincial government plans to publicize the $1.6 million program with a series of television commercials starring actor Raymond Burr, who has done similar work in the United States. Smith told a press con ference in Vancouver he has been concerned for a long time that the justice system has not adequately taken into consideration the needs of the victim in the over-all justice process. He said the program is de- signed to ensure victims are not doubly victimized by the system itself. Smith announced grants totalling $222,000 to victim- assistance programs on the Lower Mainland and Van- couver Island. Victim and witness sup- port programs in Victoria, Nanaimo, New Westminster and Delta, will receive $82,000.
