Simply by being a musical, the show was different, but it had something more — a hu- mane heart, a sense of fun and, best of all, the courage to risk failure. “Yes, there's a lot of fear,” producer Len Hill said before the first episode appeared in March. “It's an absolute gamble. “We could be a major bomb.” SHOW SCORED But in its first appearance, as an NBC Monday night movie, the unlikely mix of music videos, traditional song-and-dance routines, family drama and 1960s retro-fantasy placed fourth overall among U.S. prime time series. And after this remarkable start, Rags to Riches moved to its regular Sunday time and pulled another good audience that ranked it 18th. The show was up against tough competition — CBS's Top 10 series Murder, She “The challenge began when Brandon (Tartikoff, head,of NBC entertainment) said: ‘What do you have that will make us crazy, that's different, that doesn’t fit into a box?’ ” Hill recalled. “We had developed this series some years before, and we said: ‘Well, a musical doesn't fit anything you have. “But it’s not even a tradi- tional musical. You can't say this is Busby Berkeley gone to television or an old MGM Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical.” Still, the show was .sup- posed to have the exuberance of a musical — “Let's face it,” Hill said, “we're not talking about orphans involved in teenage pregnancy and drug abuse” — so the series was set in the “pre-Beatles, pre- Camelot era.” “Going into the early ‘60s allowed us to take what was a somewhat theatrical concept — kids singing —and give it a softer focus,” Hill said.

The show isn’t new. valbe? producer, Lorne Michaels, back home and happy. Michaels, a former comedy writer who was born in Toronto, began the show in 1975, and with it, the careers of Chevy Chase, Ottawa-born Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman and the late John Belushi. After a five-year absence, Michaels came back to the show in 1985 with an all-new cast. Critics hated it. Saturday Night Dead! they said. “We had to sort of scramble to put that season together, and we survived it, and we came out with, I think, the nucleus of a new group both in writers and in cast,” Michaels said in a recent interview in his office at NBC. “This year, the additions have added both a stability and a certain kind of brilliance.” STAYS OVER Jon Lovitz, Nora Dunn and Dennis Miller remained from last year. This year, Michaels added Dana Carvey, Jan Hooks, Victoria Jackson, Phil Hartman, Whitney Brown and Kevin Nealon. He also has Iran-gate, Gary Hart and Jim Bakker, to name a few targets of the show's satire. “Last year, it was like dissent was rudeness. It was just bad form,” Mchaels said. “And people would say it was a little aberrant period of time, this little window of opportunity, as it were, that Saturday Night came out of right after Watergate.” After five years, when the original cast’s contracts were AT ACT ADMISSION PRICES THIS ENGAGEMENT ONLY Students $4 Children $2 SEAMmRERE Fomennt ney cares tangas 0s matoma ety seme sete Adults _.$5 The West Kootenay Na- tional Exhibition Centre is presenting the Second An nual High School Juried Art Exhibit May 16-30, at Chak ho-Mika’ Mall in Nelson and up, Mchaels left to pursue other projects, including the underrated and short-lived The New Show, a prime-time satirical review that featured many of the SCTV players. “I don't think I ever felt as out of style, and to a certain extent out of tune, as when we were doing The New Show in 1984,” Michaels sai i p d that NBC kept Saturday Night Live on the air — and jealous of the success of Late Night with David Letterman. “Letterman, when it came on the early ‘80s, I think overwhelmingly took the mantle of hipness away from the show,” Michaels said. GATHERS CAST The year before Michaels returned, Dick Ebersol put together the cast that included Billy Crystal, Hamilton-born Martin Short and Christopher Guest. Saturday Night Live was spiritless and the Ebersol season, despite some innovative sketch humor, didn't have the same dangerous, on-edge quality of the old show. Michaels has brought back a “full-swing-at-the-ball” feeling, thanks to an enthusiastic cast that rivals the original for sheer talent. Carvey has been the standout newcomer in the public's mind, with his popular Church Chat. Nora Dunn and Jan Hooks do the definitive lounge-act spoof. Lovitz has reprised his “lying man” from last season. Waiting to be discovered is Hartman, the mainstay of the show, doing everybody from Ronald Reagan to Liberace and Phil Donahue. “I know the things that are more accessible or have a little more sugar in them that are instantly taken up by the public, and real brilliant work doesn’t necessarily get appreciated until years later,” Michaels said of Hartman, whom he compares to Dan Aykroyd. NBC has renewed the show for another year and the cast will remain intact. “We take a full swing at the ball, as it were,” Michaels said. “And I think that we'll just continue doing it as long as they let us.” High school art at NEC June 1-15 in the Waneta tists: Les Weisbrich; Alf Plaza in Trail.

It is im- portant to remember them in our prayers and to help them to understand how many Christians feel about the subject. I would therefore like to share a pastoral letter to the people of the Anglican Church of Canada and the citizens of Canada from the archbishops and bishops of the Anglican Church of Can- ada. “The violence that marks our society is a cause of great concern, for violence often begets violence. There is a streak in human. nature which out of greed, or in order to attain revenge, or to cover inadequacies, hits out violently. Inequities in so- ciety at large also lead to ac- tions arising from frustration and anger. Such violence strikes at the very heart of society. People cannot live together unless this tendency is controlled. “Society has developed mechanisms to keep violence under control. Law and order are necessary if citizens are to live in safety and be free to come and go. Our police for- ces and justice system are designed to curb destructive forces and to make Canada a safe place to live. “Violence has brought great strains to our police and judicial system. Criminal acts have led to police being more heavily arméd. Society is shocked by the murder of police in the course of duty. Prisons are over crowded and prison guards have a thankless and dangerous job. “It does not surprise us that there has been a re- newed call for the re-institu- tion of the death penalty for murder. We understand the feelings that have led to this and have sympathy with those who have been deeply hurt by criminal activity. “However, we cannot be content with an answer that responds to violence with even more violence. An an- swer which destroys human life cannot enhance the res- pect for,and quality of, life in our society. “On the contrary, an im- portant Christian conviction is that anything that in- creases a general recognition within society of the infinite worth of the person will be a powerful agent in the ulti- mate protection of that soci- ety. “We believe in the sacred- ness of human life. Life is God's gift, and the Bible teaches us that men and women are made in the image of God. The distortion of that image that is reflected in a person committing a murder does not make that person any less important in God's eyes. Invall of us there is some distortion of the image, but the Lord died for us all. “We urge our people and members of Parliament that they consider seriously the implications of re-introducing the death penalty and not give in to a hasty response to recent violence. These: impli- cations in¢lude such things as: © the impossibility of re- versing execution where there has been a miscarriage of justice. e despite the common as- sumption that the death pen- alty functions as a deterrent, Canadian experience has shown that there has been no increase in the murder rate following the abolition of capital punishment; and ea belief that the mur- derer is beyond being chan- ged by God's grace to be a creative member of society. ~ “We are convinced that it is in the best interests of Canadian society as a whole that capital punishment not be reintroduced, but that as Christians we need to seek alternatives that recognize the infinite worth of the in- dividual person before God. “Reform .of our correc- tional systems needs to be- come a priority of our gov- ernment. The parole system needs continuing review so that no one who continues to be a danger is released into society. Experiments which are taking place for renewal of penal institutions and pro- grams should be encouraged and extended. “We must give support to police forces and _ prison Kiwanis may be affected by U.S. court ruling PENTICTON (CP) — Ki- wanis clubs may be affected by a U.S, Supreme Court de- cision which said women could not be barred from membership in Rotary Clubs because of their sex, says Anton Kaiser, president- elect of Kiwanis Interna- tional. Kaiser, of Bethpage, N.Y., was in Penticton to address the Kiwanis Pacific North- west convention. He said in an interview Kiwanis would thrive whether both sexes are admitted or not. But he wouldn't say how he felt about the change. The Kiwanis International board recently endorsed an amendment which would al- low local U.S. chapters of the service club to admit women by invitation.

Furnite Cc guards by providing suffi- cient personnel ahd adequate training. If society does not give the necessary support to our police and staff of correc- tional institutions we put them under, almost over- whelming stress, to take the law into their own hands. “We encourage members of our parishes to be sup- portive to the victims of crime and their families. Feelings of fear and anger can become destructive and will only be healed by others reaching out lovingly. The Christian community also needs to be a support to families of guards who often have to cope with the pres- sures involved in this work. “Prison chaplains have a difficult role and need the support and prayers..ef the wider Church. The chaplain has the task of sharing by word,and by friendship, the news of God who in love both forgives us and calls us to live the new life. “For all of us that new standard includes a personal struggle against violence. Societal controls on violence are not enough. Each one of us is called to reflect the image of God, a God of love who cares infinitely for every person.” Trustee urges teacher support At a recent meeting that launched the Slocan: Valley NDP club, Castlegar school trustee Rick Pongracz urged support of teachers in their opposition to Bill 20 and warned that labor unions had better firmly back teachers this time around, because “it's strike three you're out.” Emphasizing that bills 19 and 20 are interconnected and are merely the final blow in a systematic assault that started in the name of “restraint,” Pongracz said it will take or to see that the bills are not passed. the NDP for starting on He that road by getting organized locally and electing their first club i A E as president; Bonnie Evans, John Erb and Larry Avis co-vice- P Penny Tees, Stan Weiler, secretary; and Kenny Fagan member-at-large. The club now is in the process of becoming chartered as part of the Nelson-Creston constituency, to include the Slocan River Valley from Slocan City through to Slocan Park and to include presently-listed club members. Halberstadt, said among the club's aims is the creation of a forum for educatioh about various members’ concerns and the discussion of these in a political context, so that “ordinary people” will be better able to propose relevant policy at party conventions. Another guest speaker, Corky Evans, Nelson-Creston NDP candidate in the October provincial election, brought news from the latest provincial NDP convention in Vancouver that in future more rural issues will be able to find their way into policy by the holding of regional conventions every two years. The first club activity will be to host the next constituency executive meeting, at the Vallican Whole June 14, to which all members are invited. In July there will be a picnic as a getting-to-know-each- other warm-up, followed by monthly meetings for “talking politics.” Club members will also be kept informed of constituency news by way of newsletters.
