I have a whole lot to learn and I intend to get it,” he said. “I want to be totally involved in the interior of the business world. You know what you make but you're still kept outside.” Pendergrass — who heads a musicial corporation, Teddy Bear Enterprises — recently underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his spinal cord. “The doctor says I should re- gain all functions in the upper (body). But I just can't get feeling in my doggone hands,” he said. “It takes time ... They're very optim istic.” His fingers curl inward to the palms of his hands, im- mobile. But he freely moves his arms.

I crack up at my own jokes (while performing). I'm never bored.” Although originally from Los Angeles, Mitzi says she lived “on and off" in Castlegar for about a year in 1981 She's been a professional stripper for nine years, and first incorporated her ping-pong ball routine into her act five years ago. Asked how she gets the ideas for her unique performances, Mitzi replied: “I'll never tell. I'm writing a book, The Happy Stripper.” She says although her minimum charge for performance is $3,500-a-week, or $500-a-night, her goal is to work up to charging $6,000-a-week. So far, the closest Mitzi has come to attaining that goal is the $4,500-a-week she says she was paid by one B.C. establishment. Other goals include starting her own fashion merchandising business, getting married and having children. And Mitzi also plans to work on incorporating a new instrument into her act. m getting a tuba together and I'm going to play that,” she said. Mitzi says she's single. She has a boyfriend, but said “I don't want to talk about him at all — he doesn’t like what I'm doing, anyways. “My mother doesn't know what I do yet. She knows I take my clothes off, but she doesn't know I use ping-pong balls,” she added. Audience reaction to her shows is great, says Mitzi, talking as she puts more pink curlers into her hair. As for problems with overzealous fans, Mitzi knows how to handle herself. “T’'ve never had any problems. One time I had to hit a guy with a microphone. I've had to slap a few faces, but that was it.” Mitzi’s worked B.C. and parts of Alberta and the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. She says she takes a month off for every three weeks worked, and only works six months of the year. But despite holidays, Mitzi says being a ping-pong stripper is tiring work, and she may retire in the near future. PR a THE PERSONAL TOUCH .. .

I had called the Castlegar RCMP detachment earlier that day and Sgt. Wes Guymer informed me that no officer would be sent to check out Mitzi’s act because no B.C. court has convicted her on obscenity charges. be don't have any interest in sending anyone down there,” Guymer had explained I spot Marlane Hotel manager Jim Marshall, who in an interview that afternoon had said he didn’t consider Mitzi's act to be obscene or pornographic. “They don’t have to come in the door if they don't want to see it,” Marshall said Finally, at about 9:20, someone in the audience whistles, and I see Mitzi walk in from the back of the room In seven hours, she's undergone a miraculous transformation: hair hair is neatly done in a red-sequined head-band, which matches her red-sequined gown Off goes the gown, and on goes the show. For about 30 minutes the audience is treated with the promised feats of specialized athletic virtuosity that involve party favors, fire and a barely recognizable rendition of “Frere Jacques” played on a recorder As I drive home, something that Mitzi said that afternoon floats back to me. “I haven't found a word yet to describe myself,” Mitzi said. “I'm very athletic.

Certitied General Accountants 241 Columbia Ave. Castlegar Ph. 365-7287 “‘Who said ‘No man is an island’?’’ MP applauds changes Lives and limbs will be saved by last-minute changes to the Canada Labor Code, MP Lyle Kristiansen said in a prepared release. “This bill was approved just under the wire,” Kris tiansen said. “No thanks to Liberal priorities such as the spy bill, we almost didn't get this one through. With the House adjorn ment Friday, the bill would have died, and we don't expect to see another sitting before we go to the polls.” The Canada Labor Code amendments, Bill C-34, were passed late Wednesday. Kristiansen said in the release that he spoke in favor of quick passage, and called “murderers” those who oppose in workplace safety standards such as the bill contained. He noted that provinces often tailor their standards after federal regulations. “Approximately 1,500 Canadian workers are killed on the job every year,” Kristiansen told the House recently “Approximately 20,000 Canadian workers are disabled on the job every year. “During the time we conduct our debate today, there is a very good chance that more than one worker will die and a certainty that many will be disabled.” Kristiansen then referred to the historical disregard for workplace safety in B.C. prior to an NDP administration in 1972. “That is the kind of farce that we will see again under people who continually call for less and less regulation when it comes to the workplace. Peoplewhodo that, whether it is by accident, design or ignorance, are guilty sir, of murder.” Himself by trade a sawmill worker employed for many years in Kootenay-area mills, Kristiansen decried the dis- tance most MPs have from industrial reality. “... how many other honorable members here have had to go on more than one oceasion to visit a newly widowed woman to tell her that her husband and your friend has been killed just within the last few minutes? “The fact that some people feel that we must learn to live with and tolerate industrial death and injury is the problem.” Among Labor Code changes in the bill is provision for workers to avoid punishment for refusing to do work they have reason to believe might be dangerous. The bill would also wipe out lower rates of pay for the h d and make it -y for job sites with 20 or more employees to have a safety committee, while those with five to 20 employees would be required to appoint a single safety representative. Those covered by the federal Labor Code include workers in transportation crossing provincial boundaries, uranium mining, postal workers, dock and port workers and all employ in the federally-admii d Northwest Ter- ritories and Yukon. Kristiansen took a swipe at Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney in his House of C pr idieuling Mulroney's claim when he visited Trail’s Cominco operations earlier this year that he knows what it is like to “carry a lunchbucket.” “There is a difference between someone who has worked for wages in industry for a littke while to work his way through school, and someone who is destined to work in heavy blue-collar industry for the balance of his or her working life,” Kristiansen said.
