Qui Sexps SLEEPING Ai DEVERELL READS TO BIG CROWD By JUDY WEARMOUTH Librarian Author William Deverell was given an enthusiastic reception by the sizeable audience that packed into the Castlegar Branch Monday night for the reading jointly sponsored by the Castlegar Library and the National Book Festival. His presentation included readings from his four best selling novels Needles, High Crimes, Mecea and the Dance of Shiva interspersed with fascinating accounts of the cireumstances which inspired each book. Deverell was a busy criminal lawyer who found that daily life in the courts was becoming too stressful and he took time off to try to turn his fund of real life crime stories into the great Canadian answer to Robert Ludlum. The result was Needles which won the Seal first novel award of $50,000, and that initial success has pursued him ever since. His fifth novel is half-complete and the plot for a sixth has already presented itself. The secret of all this success is hard work, detailed research combined with an inexhaustible fund of stories and a delight in writing. Deverell communicated this delight to his audience on Monday. Students at Stanley Humphries secondary school were treated to a similar presentation when he visited the school library on Tuesday morning. VISITING AUTHOR . . .

AS PERRY MASON Burr recreates role VANCOUVER (CP) — Raymond Burr glowers as he recalls a Canadian-made movie he once shot in Vancouver which turned out to be “one of the worst motion pictures in the history of motion pictures.” Perhaps understandably, Burr declines to remember the movie's title. “I'm sorry I was in it,” he said in an interview. “It was a terrible motion picture, (but) I had te fulfill my contract.” Burr, born in the Vancouver-area community of New Westminster, says the movie was made in the 1970s when a lot of producers were cashing in on federal tax incentives to make films in Canada. But the location of a movie is not as important as other elements, such as the script and actors, Burr says. And he scoffs at suggestions U.S. film-makers should stop disguising Canadian locations as American cities and towns. “What I think is more important than having the Canadian flag in a picture is having Canadian actors and crew or a Canadian writer or director.” ‘The heavyset, 68-year-old actor still has the stern eyes and the resonant voice that transfixed television viewers Photo exhibit Thursday Travelling Light, an exhi bition of photographs from the Arctic, England and Kootenay scenery and flower studies, by Paulette Jiles, will open at the Blue Moon Happy Birthday Navi It's all down hill now!

The main differences now are a greying beard and a few wrinkles, neatly touched up by a make-up man between interviews. Last year Burr resurrected the Mason role in a two-hour NBC movie that was shot in Toronto and became a ratings hit. It led to a second Mason movie, which wrapped up filming in Vancouver in February and is expected to air in May. More Perry Mason movies are possible. “It depends on whether this one is successful,” Burr says. “If we have two successes in a row, I think we should go on and do more of them.” Burr says he did the Mason films in Canada because the value of the dollar makes shooting more economical than in the United States, and also because he’s Canadian and always wanted to do things with “a degree of excellence” in this country. But filming in Canada doesn't always work out. Burr says he spent $20,000 scouting locations along the St. Lawrence River for a movie he wrote about a river, but couldn't find the perfect ‘setting. He'll shoot the pictore in Portugal instead. SCHEDULE FULL In addition to the river movie and the Perry Mason revival, he has a movie in the works about Pope John 23rd and plans for two plays on the London stage. One of the plays, about the 15th-century Prince Henry of Portugal, could also become a movie. X Burr speaks affectionately of the British stage and of efforts to restore some historic theatres. “Phere are some great theatres in England (that) used to be privately owned,” he says. “Now the communities are taking them over — some of them 200 and 300 years old and refurbishing them.” Burr says he played in such theatres in Nottingham, Edinburgh and Brighton on a tour two years ago, and looks forward to going back. € When he isn’t acting, writing or co-producing, Burr spends time at his farm in Santa Rosa, Calif., where he grows 20 different kinds of fruit and raises sheep. His main project there this year is planting grapes for wine. “Ive always liked the out-of-doors and farming,” he Catley-Carison Heod of the Canadian in ternational Development Agency will hold a lecture entitled “Dragons, Dilem. mos and Development, Fri., April 25, 7:30 pm Costlegar Compus ‘Moin Lou A no host wine and cheese reception to tollow.

Sinclair is one of 13 people living in a lush valley in the Trepanier Creek bench area north of Peachland in the Okanagan Valley where crews have begun work on the third phase of the Coquihalla Highway. Trouble began in September when Trepanier bench property owners received letters from the ministry saying surveyors would be coming to conduct preliminary work: velit tera esines ines — From “a coupie of trees” to be cut on his property for the centre line of a 15-metre-wide access road to Crown land, Sinclair said the invasion has grown to “about 300 trees cut” by mistake, a 50-metre right-of-way, and the 1.2 hectares leased for six months now is four hectares “and they were only half through.” In his letter to Bennett, Sinclair said he contacted the ministry's office in December about the number of trees cut and was told the trees had been cut by a faulty machine and a new centre line was needed. Shortly after, Gordon McNair, the ministry's property negotiator based in Kamloops, offered Sinclair $350 for a six-month lease to use a strip of land for the SHOWN LEASES Sinclair said he was shown signed leases from the other property owners, and when told he was “the only one holding out,” he signed. ‘ He said the ministry first offered to cut the wood it had mistakenly cut and deliver it to his home for firewood, but when it was discovered that was too expensive, told him he would be paid $1,200 compensa tion. There has been no compensation yet, Sinclair said, but project supervisor Fred Lewis said Tuesday the trees cut “are being skidded to a site designated by the owner.” Work was stopped briefly in February when property owners protested, but resumed after discus- sions with Lewis and McNair. Sinclair said when he visited the site in mid-March, he discovered a “tracked backhoe had been up and down the mistake line and all over the back of my property digging test pits on land not anywhere near the right of way. Work was stopped again at the end of March and has not, yet, resumed. MeNair said Tuesday e meeting will be held soon to resume negotiations with the affected property owners. The first phase of the Coquihalla Highway, a $375- million four-lane toll highway linking Hope, 150 kilometres east of Vancouver, northeast to Merritt will officially open May 16. The second stage, estimated to cost $125 million, will join Merritt to Kamloops, about 80 kilometres north. The $250 million third stage will link Highway 97 just north of Peachland to Merritt, a straight-line distance of Butler makes it in Paris PARIS (CP) — It’s a long Paris and the provinces for way from Paquetville to several years Paris.
