Frankie Goes
to Hollywood
changes image

LONDON (AP) — In 1983, Frankie Goes to Hollywood
burst on the British music scene with a mixture of
controversy and hype set to a heavy disco beat. Three years
later, the band is trying to change its image with a second
LP, Liverpool.

Lead singer Holly Johnson called it “taking off the
rose-colored glasses of Welcome to the Pleasuredome.”

Pleasuredome was the band’s debut LP, produced by
the group's mentor, Trevor Horn, who chose not to
produce Liverpool.

“At first, it was a blow tomy confience,” Johnson said in
an interview at a restaurant in West London.

“I thought he wasn't interested, but he explained tha‘
he wanted more input from the band this time. If he had
worked on it, it would have been more electronic, rathe:
than a development musically.”

DROPS IN CANADA

Without Horn’s input, there was some concern that the
phenomenon of ‘83 would be the flop of '86. (Four weeks
after its release in Canada the LP dropped to No. 49 on the
album chart of The Record trade magazine.)

But the bigger problem appeared to be keeping the
band together

At the Montreaux Music Festival in Switzerland last
spring, the rest of the group, Brian Nash, Peter Gill, Mark
O'Toole and Paul Rutherford, destroyed their rented stage
equipment. On his return to England, Johnson told
reporters he was ashamed to be associated with the group

“There was a time when I was seriously considering
leaving.” Johnson said. “It seemed that everywhere I looked
was total madness and disorder. It wasn't efficient.”

Aside from the rock ‘n’ roll antics in Montreaux, there
were wild times in Ireland while the group was supposed to
be writing material for the album

“That's why it took so long to get this album out,”
Johnson said, obviously annoyed by the other members
“They would disappear from Thursday night until Monday
morning to party in Dublin
that's life.”

When the Frankies released Relax, their debut hit

single, they stunned the public with their bold lyrics and

bawdy video.

In America, Relax made it into the Top 10; in Britain it
spent five weeks at No. 1 and outsold all the Beatles
records.

Johnson said it's great to be appreciated in Britain, but
it's still important for the group to be successful in the
United States.

“To me that's real success, because then you're in the
same pen with all the people who've been successful there,”
Johnson said.

The latest single, Rage Hard, has the usual Frankie
disco beat, but the lyrics are different from the party
pleasure tune, Relax

Court

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joe Wapner shuns show
business, ignores ratings, works with amateurs and
wings it without script or rehearsal. Yet his show is a hit.

In fact, The People's Court is the fifth highest-rated
show in syndication, thanks to Judge Joseph A. Wapner's
no-nonsense approach, incisive questioning and quick,
fair decisions.

Wapner says he doesn't pay attention to the ratings.
1 know that when they tell me they're high, I'll be back
for another year,” he said.He has come back for six
seasons.

No small part of the show's appeal is the real-life
drama played out before the bench every day on more

It aggravated terribly, but

Every case is real, filed in small claims court in
southern California. The decisions are legally binding,
and although the show pays all settlements emotions run

One woman, after losing a dispute over location of a
property-line wall, looked at her neighbor and declared
on television: “If that S.O.B. comes near me, I'll kill him!”

Not only do millions of ordinary people watch “The
Judge,” but so do such luminaries as Reggie Jackson, Don
LeLuise and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood
Marshall. Dustin Hoffman missed the ending of one show
and asked for a tape. Rosemary Clooney asked for an

JUDGES DISPUTE

Johnny Carson invited Wapner to come on “The
Tonight Show” and settle a dispute between himself and
David Letterman. The dispute was over an old truck
Letterman kept parked by his property in Malibu. Carson
said it was an eyesore and had it hauled away. When
Letterman got it back, the headlights had been broken.

“I awarded Letterman $24.95,” said Wapner.

Wapner is the son of a lawyer, and his two sons are
lawyers. A daughter works in child care. Mickey, his wife
of 40 years, is a former dean's assistant at UCLA

Wapner spent more than 20 years on the bench in

drama rates high

Los Angeles, and at one time was presiding judge of the
Los Angeles Superior Court, the largest court in the
United States. He retired on Nov. 16, 1979 the day after
his 60th birthday. He became judge of “People Court” in
1981 after auditioning for the role.

His bailiff on the show is Rusty Burrell, who retired
after 33 years as a bailiff. Burrell worked on the Charles
Manson case.

Every case on “The People’s Court” is tried w ithout
lawyers by the rules of Small Claims Court, which has an
award limit of $1,500. Researchers for Ralph Edwards
Productions check claims filed in six Southern California
counties for interesting cases.

MUST AGREE

Both the plaintiff and defendant must agree to have
the case settled on the show and sign a binding
arbitration agreement. People who volunteer to appear
are turned down, however. Once a week Wapner puts on
his black robe and decides 10 cases, which will probably
make five to six shows.

“Everything on the show is real,” said Wapner
“There's no script, no rehearsal, no retakes. Everything
from beginning to end is like a real courtroom, and I
personally consider each case as a trial. We tape them as
we try them, although some cases may be edited for time.
But the only thing cut out are repetitions.

“Sometimes I don't even deliberate. I just decide
from the bench, it's so obvious. The beautiful part is that I
have carte blanche.”

Wapner is often amazed at the lengths people will go
to prove a point. “I had a case of a man who
brown-bagged it for lunch,” he said. “He bought a beer for
75 cents, but said the beer was flat. The store owner
wouldn't give him another beer or his money back. He
spent $20 to bring it to court.”

Wapner has become such a well-known television
personality, he is frequently asked to be a guest on
various shows. He turns them down.

“I'm not an actor, I'm a judge.”

UTILICORP
REVENUES

UP $161 M

UtiliCorp United Ine. expects net income of
approximately $29.7 million on revenues of about $161
million for 1986.

This compares to 1984 net income of $243.2 million,
the company reported in a prepared release.

Primary earnigs per common share are estimated to
be about $2.80 based on 9.2 million average shares
outstanding compared to $2.98 a year ago, on 7.6 million
average shares outstanding.

Contributing to 1986 results will be $4.5 million of
net income and 49 cents per common share from the
company's 1986 investment in the Palo Verde No. 2
generating station.

1986 figures will reflect four divisions of UtiliCorp:
Peoples Natural Gas, Missouri Publie Service, Northern
Minnesota Utilities, and Kansas Publie Service. Reven.
ues for each division for the year are anticipated to be
$375 million, $224 million, $4 million and $13 million,
respectively,

Fourth quarter revenues, net income and primary
earnings per common share are expected to be about $171
million, $7.5 million and 69 cents, respectively. This
compares to fourth quarter, 1985 results of $69.2 million,
$7 million and 77 cents, respectively.

Speaking to the Los Angeles investment community,
Richard Green Jr., president and chief executive officer,
said that revenues from the sale of natural gas will
account for about 69 per cent of total revenues while
those from electric operations will be around 31 per cent.

The operations of the Peoples Natural Gas division
will be included for the full year of 1986 as compared to
only 12 days of 1985. Northern Minnesota Utilities will be
only included for the month of December in 1986.

“Revenues and net income were positively affected
by the strong showing of the Missouri Public Service
division which enjoyed record financial results attribut
able to the economic health of metropolitan Kansas City,
an increase in electric power usage by all classes of
customers and, improved operating efficiencies,” Green
noted

“Adversely affecting financial performance of the
natural gas divisions was mild winter weather in early
1986 and resulting lower demand for gas.

“Interest charges and the amortization of a
non-competition agreement related to the Peoples
Natural Gas acquisition were also factors affecting net
income

“However, the Peoples’ division showed increasing
strength in its brokered gas operations throughout the
year, and expects relief from its fixed contract charges
with Northern Natural Gas in early 1987

“Peoples received rate relief of $0.59 million in
Colorado in 1986 and will have pending rate applications
of $8.6 million in lowa and $8 million in Minnesota at the
end of the year,” Green said

Green also announced that the purchase acquisition
of the Minnesota gas distribution operations of Inter-City
Gas Corporation for $22 million, now the Northern
Minnesota Utilities division, was finalized on Dec. 5. The
acquisition, which was previously announced in May of
this year, received regulatory approval in September.

A favorable order from the Public
Commission of West Virginia is still expected on
UtiliCorp’s pending acquisition of West Virginia Power
from Dominion Resources for $20 million.

Public hearings will resume in January, 1987 on the
acquisition of West Kootenay Power and Light Co. from
Cominco, Ltd. A decision on this pending $60 million
acquisition is expected from the B.C. Utility Commission
in the first quarter 1987, the release said

UtiliCorp is budgeting about $60 million for capital
projects in 1987, primarily for improvement and
operating facilities at each of the
company’s divisions. The company anticipates spending
about $43 million on capital improvements in 1986, and
projects capital spending of about $290 million over the

Area tourism budget
given OK by Victoria

The Kootenay Country Tourist Association's 1987
marketing and promotional budget of $520,000 has been
approved by the B.C. Ministry of Tourism. |

“We can now move ahead and plan all our winter

ivities with the assurance that they will be consistant
with our existing marketing and media initiatives now
running,” KCTA regional coordinator Roy Shields said in a
prepared release.

The KCTA is the regional tourism association whose
primary mandate is to design marketing strategies for the
private sector, including communities interested in
developing and increasing their tourism visits to the area.

Shields says, an example of this would be the Nelson
Winter Snofest in February. The KCTA will be assisting
Snofest committee in designing marketing initiatives for
out-of-region advertising.

“We take the event and complement it with other major
attractions in the local area such as Whitewater Ski Area

dream to brew once his own
beer,” says the bearded,
red-headed Westner.

Last week, after a couple
of years of red tape, fire and
equipment problems, the
amiable German and his two
partners officially open the
Hanshaus Brewery.

Westner studied brewing
technology and has a doc
torate in brewing science,
but his native country didn't
need another brewery.

“In Bavaria, in my own
small aré®p there were 900
small breweries.”

He looked to Canada as a
land of brewing opportunity
and, because Bavaria-style
breweries operate or are
planned in most other prov
inces, he headed East.

In October 1984, Westner
brought his wife and infant
twin daughters to nearby
Moncton and began to look
for the necessary money

NEEDED MONEY

“I had a hard time to get it
off the ground for financial
reasons,” he said. “The banks
didn't like the project.”

Westner, his brother Her.
mann and a third partner in
Bedford, N.S., put up part of
the more than $320,000
needed. The Department of

cation last spring, but a for-

sign and charred the forest.
Fortunately, the fire spared
most of the building material.

wick and waited for new
equipment. Finally, the pile
of lumber was turned into a
pine-panelled retreat that,
when finished, will include a
hospitality room.

He describes the lager as
smooth and full-bodied —
“it’s a friendly type of beer.”

Westner subscribes to the
Bavarian Purity Act of 1516
which insists only malted
barley, hops, yeast and water
be used in the process.

“It's the oldest food law
still in use,” he said, adding
that while brewmaking tech
nology has changed over the
years, the ingredients
haven't. He uses no additives
or artificial carbonation.

Westner is already selling
kegs of draft beer, and five
litre cans of Hanshaus lager
are in New Brunswick liquor
stores.

Next March, bottled beer
will be added and the brews
should be available in Nova
Scotia after April

and Ainsworth Hot Springs,” he said.

“The objective is to create a larger lure for the potential
visitor.” bs

The KCTA then invites hotels and motels, restaurants
and other merchants to participate to ensure that someone
coming to the event will get a clear message as to what the
event is all about, other attractions they may wish to
experience at the same time, and specific phone numbers for
places to stay and eat.

“What we create for the potential visitor is a complete
package with enough sizzle to get them intb our
communities.”

Once the private sector and community dollars are in
place, the KCTA can then double that amount through the
Partners in Tourism program. The only cost to the
participants is a five per cent administration fee based on
the gross amount of the advertising costs.

The regional tourist Associations are, through the
Ministry of Tourism, responsible for the marketing,
coordination and application of the partners program. It.is
designed to allow all the private sector to participate in
tiered promotional initiatives.

“We take our vertical markets such as golf courses, hot
springs, resorts and ski areas, community events and
activities, and use them as the umbrella for the other
community facilities to advertise themselves under,” Shields
said.

“This strategy is working well all over the province.

“With a budget of $520,000 we feel we are effective in
the market place with a minimal cost to our members.”
