GM producer Al Newinan and Estrada have agreed the

Former Trallite Ernie
Poacente, host of the Can-
adian segment of the Jerry
Lewis ‘Muscular Dystrophy
Telethon from Spokane dur-
ing the Labor Day weekend,
said the venture was “very
successful, and very inter-
eating.”

Poscente was interview-
ed by the News/Mirror dur-
ing a stop over in the West
Kootenays, before returning
home to Edmonton.

The success factor Pos-
cente referred to concerned
the pledges received from
residents of Alberta and
British Columbia.

“The amount pledged

out of Canada was around .

$124,000," Poscente said.
South-Central B.C. report-
edly contributed over $20,000

The interesting aspect,
said Poscente, was working
in front of a camera for 24
straight hours. ‘

“After that amount of
time, you're not really sure if
you are coherent or not.
When you've completed a
sentence, it’s difficult to

Mark St. John,

KREM, co-hosted the Tele-
thon’ with Poscente, The
former Trailite was respon-
sible for keeping on top of
what was happening in other
Canadian pledge centres, as
well as reading challenges
over the air, and inter-
- viewing people.

An important aspect
that may not have been
clarified to Canadian viewers
is that all the money collected
from Canadian pledges re-

mains in Canada, The contre
for the Muscular Dystrophy
Association of Canada is in
Toronto, and there are not a
great number of regional
offices in Canada.

Poscente eltéd this as a
possible reason for the Can-
adian segment coming out of
Spokane, which has a region-
al office,

“Tho Spokane station
covers such a vast area,
including Southern B.C, and
Alberta. Part of the thrill
was knowing that you were
being seen by millions of
viewers, but it was parti-
cularly exciting to know that
people who I grew up with in
the Trail area would be
seeing me.”

“I wanted to say, ‘Hi
mom,’ but I thought it would
sound too corny,” he smiled.
Instead, he visited Trail after

Kokanee fish kill

Rel

jease

The Fish and Wildlife
Branch has been investigat-
ing the kokanee fish kill
which is apparent on Koot-
enay Lake.

The dead fish are pri-
marily immature two-and
three-year-old fish which in-
habit the main lake. This fish
kill does not appear to be
disease related. Similar fish
kilts have been noted on
Kootenay Lake in previous
years with the most recent
one occurring in 1975, Other
southern interior lakes such
as Shuswap, Nicola, Moyie
and Canim have also ex-
perienced similar kills.

Most kokanee kills ob-
served to date have occurred
at the end of unusually hot
weather followed by severe
wind storms. It is believed
that strong winds cause

LITTLE FEAT:
Dixie Chicken
Little Feat produced its
first album in 1971, and since
that time have demonstrated
on succeeding albums that
they are capable of executing
any numiber of rock and roll
variations with definite ori-

: ginality.

Tho_band's last album is
due for release soon, and it’s
unfortunate to note the de-
mise of the band was in-
évitable, even before the
death of Lowell George
last June, Little Feat. were
capable of taking any mode of
rock music and developing it
toward their own style, in a
manner almost as successful
as Ry Cooder.

Dixie Chicken is an
album that catches the band
as it began to peak musically
and’ lyrically. As the title
indicates, the album has a
definite Southern flavor, but
includes a generous mixture
of blues with a gentle touch
of jazz.

George steps out on this
album, providing some excel-

tent slide guitar particularly
on Lafayette Railroad and On
Your Way Down, His writing
also was the main focal point
for the band, with keyboard-
ist Bill Payne. providing the
remainder of the material,

Chicken's Southern at-
mosphere was heightened
nicely by backing voralists
Bonnie Bramlett and Bonnie
Raitt, who often appeared
with the band. The title track
and Géorge's Roll Um Easy
are two excellent examples of
some of the group's finer
work,

George decided to work
ona solo album in 1976 which
was released last March, but
he still remained with the
band, although more in the
background than ever before.
The solo album was a depar-
ture from his acknowledged
writing abilities, and concen-
trated on his arranging and
singing facets,

There's little question
that sex education is needed.
Not only by the teenagers,
but for parents, as well.
Parents often are viewed as
models by their children.

If parents have a strong

riage and enjoy a healthy
relationship,- their children

C ion is not the
answer. Neither is abortion,
Teenagers, like those of all
ages, must be made aware of
the fact that they are indi-
vidually responsible for their
actions.

Children should be more
than the accident of two
people gratifying their pas-
sion; they should be the
planned product of the union
of two individuals who have
decided to blend their lives in
one purpose.

In the beginning, when
God created this world, He
made man — male and female
— brought them together in
the love of a family to be one,

Hewitt announced recently.

The amount of money
allotted to each fair is deter-
mined by the classification of
the individual fair and, for
the smaller fairs, by the total
awarded in prizes during the
previous year.

In the Kootenay-Bound-
ary area, $623 has been
allotted to the Grand Forks

ety.

Howitt suggested that
urban dwellers visit the agri-

“They afford a very good

various agricultural activities
in the area and to gain a
better understanding of B.C.
