Canadian television this year will be a season of
“firsts” and “mosts.” In the latter category is “Mount
Royal,” the most gxpensive Canadian television series
ever made. Among the “firsts” are “Chasing Rainbows,”
the first television series to be shot in high-definition
television (HDTV), and the Calgary Olyzhpics, the first
winter Olympic games to be held in Canada. Those are
just a few of the highlights. Here's a closer look at
specials ‘and new series on tap for the 1987-88 season:

© “Mount Royal” — At $1 million per episode, this
Canadian “Dynasty” has an American-sized budget. The
first of 17 episodes will debut on CTV with a two-hour
movie in January and continue on consecutive weeks. The
series centres around a family of Canadian Carringtons,
the Valeurs, a wealthy Montreal clan who make Paris
their second home.

© “Chasing Rainbows” — This 14-hour miniseries set
in the Montreal of the 1920s will run in March on the CBC.
It is the first TV series to be filmed in HDTV, a technical
process that gives clearer, brighter pictures. An HDTV
set is required to get the full effect, but viewers should
notice a marked improvement in picture quality on con-
ventional sets. A Canadian ensemble cast features Paul
Gross, Michael Riley, Julie A. Stewart and Booth Savage.

© The Winter Olympics — CTV has exclusive rights
to live coverage in Canada, It will provide more than 114
hours of live events over the 16-day period Feb. 13 - 28,
1988. CBC and TSN will also provide coverage on a tape
delay and highlight basis.

e “Not My Department” — A new CBC series that
spoofs the Ottawa civil service, starring Harry Ditson
and Shelley Peterson, the wife of Ontario's premier.

‘Hot Shots” — Dorothy Parke and Booth Savage
star in this new CTV series which has already aired on
CBS. The pair play reporters for Crime World Magazine.

e “Anne of Green Gables, the Sequel” — Megan
Follows and Colleen Dewhurst reprise their roles from
last year's critically acclaimed hit. The sequel will air
Dec. 6 and 7 on CBC.

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES . . . features the return of

POP GROUPS
RUMMAGE
FOR OLDIES

By TIM O'CONNOR
Canadian Pre:

38

TORONTO — Like antique dealers at country flea
markets; new pop groups are rummaging for relics to dust
off, restore and convert into cash.

But the musicians aren't doing it by choice. Fact is,
sprucing up an old hit is about the only way a new group can
win radio time.

Los Lobos, Bananarama, Pseudo Echo, Kim Wilde, Run
D.M.C. and Canada’s own Nylons are just a few of the artists
who have recently found success by doing a cover, as it’s
known in the industry.

“There's a whole spate of records coming out right now
and all of these artists seem to be trying to find a song that
will make it easier for them to gain access to radio,” said
David Farrell, publisher of the Record, Canada’s music
industry weekly.

It wasn’t until Los Lobos covered La Bamba, the Ritchie
Valens hit from 1959, that the band reached more than a cult
audience. The song, the title song for the film biography of
Valens's life, is a runaway radio hit for the Mexican
Americans.

‘Australia’s Pseudo Echo was unknown in North
America until it covered Funkytown (by Lipps Inc., 1980).
Britain's Bananarama turned Venus (Shocking Blue, 1970)
into a disco hit and pay dirt.

CRACK RADIO

Covers have become a tool to crack radio. It's part of a
record industry strategy to tap into nostalgia-minded radio
and consumers without simply reissuing old songs.

About thee years ago, radio stations turned to playing
lots of old hits and some new songs by established artists to
bring the 24-to 54-year-old listeneres to advertisers. But that
doesn't leave much room for artists searching for that first
hit.

Record companies also know that radio programmers,
inundated with new records, have limited time and may be
more willing to listen to a cover than a new song from an
unknown band.

“You get an instant recognition factor with an old song,”
said Greg Torrington, music director of CHEZ-FM in
Ottawa.

Torrington said many artists and programmers know
“it’s safe to use a proven song.” But he warns that the
industry could stagnate if the dependence on covers and gold
continues.

Now that rock is about 30 years old, there's also a
treasure trove of great old songs.

As rock matured in the '60s, songwriting developed as
an art form and groups recorded originals for singles almost
exclusively.

PAY TRIBUTE

Cover tunes were usually just done as album cuts or for
live albums. Bands dif them to pay tribute to their
influences, or to interpret an old song a new way. Led
Zeppelin turned up the volume on bluesman Willie Dixon's I
Can't Quit You Baby, for example.

It depends on taste naturally, but many old songs can be
given new life: Run D.M.C.’s cover of Aerosmith's Walk This
Way, for example.

Some covers bother fans of the original songs.
Particularly old songs that have been “disco-ized,” such as
Kim Wilde's version of You Keep Me Hangin’ On, the
Supremes hit.

While many bands may get their foot in radio's door
with a cover, they eventually have to deliver their own hits
to earn royalties.

There's also the risk of being labelled as a novelty act.
Quiet Riot found early success covering three Slade tunes,
but since it started doing original songs it has faded away.

REFUGEE
CHANGES
‘CALLED FOR

OTTAWA (CP) == ‘The United Nefons | High
Commissioner for Refugees has called for ‘changes to the’
government's proposed system for processing refugees.

Jean-Paul Hoke, representative of the High
Commissioner, testifed ‘Tuesday before a Commons
committee studying @ bill on the proposed system.

Under the propsed legislation people who come from
so-called “safe third countries” will be returned to those’
countries even if they claim to be refugees. A list of safe’
countries would be drawn up by the cabinet. *

But Fiorella Badiani, the High Commissioner's
representative in Canada, said some people may have
reason to fear ion in a country das
safe. They should have an opportunity to state the
reasons for their fear of returving to a third country, she
said.

Badiani added the High Commissioner also hopes the
bill will be amended so there will be a review of decisions
against those claiming refugee status.”

REFUGEE CLAIMS

Under the proposed legislation, those whose refugee
claims are rejected will be able to apeal to the Federal
Court on points of law only and can be deported while the
court considers their cases.
Job Van Der Veen, the commissioner's legal officer
in Canada, noted there are safeguards in Canada’s
current refugee determination system that allow for
review of decisions.

He added the bill should be amended so that those
who are deported back to another country will be
readmitted. to Canada and allowed to make a refugee
claim if.that country refuses to accept them.

In Rher testimony, representatives of the Inter-
national Air Transport Association told the committee
that parts of the proposed system are unfair to airlines.

Spokesman Rodney Wallis said holding airlines

ible for bringing to Canada who do not
have valid travel documents is unreasonable.

Boarding pefsonnel are not immigration officers and
cannot become expert in the immigration documentation
of every country, he said.

RAISE PENALTY

Wallis also told the committee the industry opposes a
section of the proposed legislation that would raise the
maximum penalty for bringing those without valid
documents into Canada to $2,000 from $1,000. And the
association opposes provisions that would force airlines to
post bonds to cover possible future fines.

Welfare Minister Jake Epp accused Garneau of using

‘was intended to be a comprehensive look at family benefits.

‘ GROUPS COMPLAIN

Social policy groups have long complained that govern-
ments don't do enough to help families defray the high cost
of taising-children — a cost that could easily run to several
thousand dollars a year for each child.

In presentations to the Commons finance committee on
Tuesday morning, the Canadian Council on Social Develop-
ment said federal support for families should be boosted to
an annual maximum of $2,100 a child.

‘The main element in its program is a tripling of the child
tax credit, which pays maximum benefits to families of low
or modest incomes.

The National Action Committee on the Status. of
Women called for increases in the child tax credit to bring all
low-income families with children over the poverty line.

‘The women's group also wants full cost-of-living pro-
tection restored to the family allowance.

“NAC believes that all parents should receive financial
assistance from the government and that the most efficient
way of providing this help is through the family allowance,”
it said.
