(AP) Country music star Merle Haggard isn’t sure if his hit song Okie From Muskogee was a curse or a blessing to his career, but says aud iences are starting to forget about it. “It's finally cooled off over the last three years,” he said. “It's not necessary for us to do that song every night. “Sometimes I even forget to sing it. We have new hits and I'm kind of glad. I always wondered if I needed that song to make it.” Haggard, whose criminal record was erased when Ronald Reagan pardoned him while governor of California in 1972, has long felt the song branded him as a hawk witha casual social conscience and pure lifestyle. “It has political overtones that I'd rather not get in volved in,” he said in a telephone interview from his home in Redding, Calif. “It's not that I don’t feel that way It just mixed politics and music “It established a career or kicked a great career right in the butt.” The song became the an them of hardhats and made Haggard the populist poet, but antiwar activists thought the tune was bunk Haggard’s songs have car ried him to the No. 1 spot on the charts more than 30 times dating back to 1965. He's released more than 70 albums, including the plat inum Pancho and Lefty in 1983. His current album, A Friend in California, echoes more positive themes than usual with such songs as I Had a Beautiful Time, This Time I Really Do and Thank You for Keeping My House. He's been unpredictable, though, with one gospel album (Songs for the Mama That Tried) and another sa luting Dixieland (I Love Dixie Blues). He's also a student of the guitar stylings of jazz artist Howard Roberts. He's a craftsman as a songwriter, blessed with in sights that pour out portraits of everyday life When he was 20, he was California prisoner 845200 at San Quentin for burglarizing a cafe during a drunken spree with friends. He was paroled two years later in 1960 and went to play guitar for Wynn Stewart. He recorded Sing a Sad Song and it rose to the country Top 20. Two years later, he had his first big hit with All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers. His hits have included You Take Me for Granted, Mama Tried, Barroom Buddies (a duet with Clint Eastwood), The Way I Am and Going Where the Lonely Go. He won a Grammy award in 1984 for That's the Way Love Goes. His most requested song since Okie From Muskogee is the melodious Silver Wings, recorded more than 15 years ago. “There are some: nights when we don't sing Okie, but we have to do Silver Wings,” he said.

Mereditn Bain Woodward directs Michael Pearce in Theatre Energy's latest produc- Woodward bac Meredith Bain Woodward, one of the founders of Theatre Energy and former artistic director of the is back in the Kootenays and once again working with Theatre Energy, directing its fall production Odd Jobs Woodward was last seen in Nelson as William's ex-cleaning woman in Headlines Theatres’ The Enemy Within. company, Woodward is primarily an actress, but says she is pleased to be directing Odd Jobs “I am attracted to the play because it’s about work It raises interesting questions about the value of work and how people identify themselves through their work It's also Canadian and I think audiences will enjoy the humor of its Canadianisms. Odd Jobs is about specific people and offers insights into the dilemma faced by many families coping with unemployment.” In the play, Tim, the central character, loses his job to an “automated welding arm.” Responding to his wife Ginny's demand that he “get off his ass,” Tim begins doing odd jobs for his aging neighbor, Mrs. Phipps. When Ginny's night school efforts pay off with a job offer in another city, Tim is forced to choose between a job where he feels needed and his wife's need to improve her situation Woodward is no stranger to the strains of choosing between home and career. Although she maintains her home in Winlaw with her husband and daughter, she has tion, Odd Jobs. spent a considerable amount of time in the last few years working elsewhere. Woodward began her acting career in the Kootenays with the inception of Theatre Energy in 1976. After five years with the company she left to take a part in the play Rexy in Edmonton “I needed a sense of the larger world and wanted to try working with other companies.” Woodward began coming and going between work with Theatre Energy, (Threepenny Opera. The Food Show, Mine Tailings, The Tom: Box, Boiler Room Suite) and work in other parts 6f Canada, (Stupormarket in Thunder Bay, Time Step \in Kamloops, The Late Blumer in Vancouver, and Vsiting Hours in Calgary). Woodward has appeared in a-number of movies as well as on television and radio. Trying to balance a home life in the Kootenays with a career as an actress has forced Woodward to make some difficult decisions. When she was asked to tour Green Thumb Players’ New Canadian Kid to Australia and parts of Southeast Asia for six months, she declined in order to remain with her family Ultimately it's taught me what's important.

Taking positions opposite those of the two-million member Canadian Labor Congress, the group has come out against feminism, affirmative action, the closed shop and socialism It supports freer trade with the United States and believes that the use of union dues to support political causes should be restricted Nonetheless, the union has grown steadily to nearly 7,000 members. Its support has been based mainly in Ontario and British Columbia and chiefly in the construction and nursing-home industries, since it was founded in 1952 by Dutch immigrants affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church And although the group is governed by “Christian principles of social justice and love,” its leaders insist they are not wimpy pushovers at the bargaining table. “We believe in standing up for our members’ rights; we don't take no for an answer,” Edward Vanderkloet, the said in an interview at the group's Toronto headquarters union's executive secretary, Strike costliest VANCOUVER (CP) The strike by 20,000 British Col. umbia woodworkers which began in late July will have rent mediation efforts fail to resolve it. The key area of disagree ment is the companies’ bid to Although most of its leaders belong to the reformed church, Vanderkloet says the organization is non-denomin ational and open to anyone — a claim labor authorities disputed for more than a decade. Early labor board decisions refused to recognize the group, ruling that its constitution violated human rights A court challenge to that view succeeded in 1963. But the reformed church's conservativism is apparent in the union's public policies, the latest being a campaign against pay-equity legislation — an idea supported by virtually every other union in the country. Instead of effecting liberation, egalitarian policies will bring about more institutional and social disintegration,” the organization said in a brief this year to an Ontario study group on pay equity The labor group is most controversial, however, when it comes to collective bargaining Let's face it, it's an antagonistic system, and if employers can get away with something, they will,” said George Longo, a former nursing-home owner who has dealt with both the Christian labor group and mainstream unions “(The Christian union) will not put up a fight. The general consensus is that it’s just a pushover, a Mickey Mouse union.” But Vanderkloet said that while the union is extremely reluctant to calla strike, it has done so twice — in Windsor. Ont., in 1978 and in Hamilton two years later, both at small firms. laws. “We don't believe in adversarial relationships; that doesn’t mean we don't have any adversarial relationships,” Vanderkloet said. “But most Canadian workers are not interested in strikes, in hostile relationships.” LOCALS FEAR SULLIVAN MINE MAY BE NE From The KIMBERLEY — The grandfather of Canadian mines is in trouble. And that goes double for this town of 7,000 people that the Sullivan mine built. “We're worried,” says Kimberley Mayor Jim Ogilvie. The Cominco fertilizer plant, which runs on byproduct iron from the mine, shut down “indefinitely’ last week, laying off about 120 people. Townsfolk worry that the mine will be next. “It's just a matter of time before they lock the gates and put out the lights,” ited Steel Workers Local 651 president Tom Hill says. Kimberley held its breath when the mine, one of the world’s biggest lead-zinc operations since it opened in 1909, shut down for July and August when metal prices fell. There was relief when metal prices rose and Cominco reopened the mine. But five weeks ago, Cominco was bought by Teck Corp., and the rumors started again. Management says the Sullivan mine could be good for five to 15 years if the world prices are right. “We have always said the Sullivancould go to the year 2000,” says mine manager Ralph Hargreave. But Teck also owns the huge Red Dog strip-mine property in Alaska. Ore grade there is up to four times the quality of that in the Sullivan, and the cost of digging it out is-several times lower The Red Dog property ‘is scheduled to start producing in 1991, giving the Sullivan a i of five KIWANIS C Skate-a-thon Sat., November 29 10:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. — At Arena Thank You To those who worked on my behalf and those who supported me with their ballots.

Together, the mine, the ‘concentrator and the fertilizer plant employed about 900 people and provided a $40-million annual payroll accounting for 57 per cent of the town's taxes and budget. With some of those jobs already gone, Ogilvie says the little town is working on its tomorrow. More than 150 people are planning the town's future on committees of the Industrial Development Com. mission, he says. That could include a major institution.
