He came away with a new album, produced with biack musicians, and first-hand experience concerning apartheid. But while Graceland — Simon's first album in 2'/ years — shows the singer-songwriter working in new musical territory, the record refrains from directly addressing South Africa's troubles. “I didn't go to make a political statement; I went to make a musical stiten.ent,” Simon said in an interview. “And from that I hope you can understand about the people. “This is a closer look at their faces — not carrying a coffin in a funeral procession, not in a riot, not being hit over the head with a club in TV footage. “They have another aspect to their lives and I think I may be able to show some of that.” Simon, whose previous exposure to South African music was limited to such artists as Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba im the 1960s, first heard the current South African sound on Gumboots, Accordion Jive Hits, Vol. II. The featured bands were familiar but fresh. THINKS OF CHILDHOOD “They reminded me of mid-’50s to (rhythm and blues) music, American R and music of my adolescence. And you really musie of your childhood.” Simon's response was a two-week tri friea in January 1985. There, he worked with local bands to produce five of the tracks on Graceland, which will be released Monday. The album for Warner Bros. is a departure for Simon, "50s R and B which is the to the the album hangs well. “I wanted to say this is African music, but it's not that, strange a journey, really,” Simon said. Te the late ,iac“Ws" Selaod. be; besesd toad, Art Garfunkel, working under the name Tom and Jerry. They were dubbed Simon and Garfunkel by their record company, and went on to score a series of pop hits, most written by Simon, before breaking up in 1971. On this excursion, Simon wasn't really sure where he was headed. Before the project even started, it nearly ended. He waited nervously while leaders of the South African musicians’ union voted on recording with him. HEARS CONCLUSION “They never did tell me what the debate was,” he said. “They only told me their conclusion: they thought it would be beneficial to them. “Their feeling, as they expressed it to me, was that they were being doubly victimized by apartheid. They were victimized by it at home by the government, and they were being again victimized by the rest of the world because they were South African. They couldn't get their music out of there because the world was putting a ban on things South African.” Simon didn't write lyrics in South Africa. Instead, he recorded musical tracks to use when he returned to the United States. The only song with lyrics written prior to recording was Homeless, an a capella song recorded in England with Ladysmith Black Mombazo, a 10-man South African voeal group. The resulting cut — done in a single take — combines a = wedding chant, Simon’ 's lyrics about the homeless and who has written a diverse collection of songs three decades, from Sounds of Silence to Still Crazy After All These Years to Late in the Evening. On Graceland, his distinctive voice soars above a swirl of accordions, horns and guitars on some tracks. One song was recorded with accordion player Good Roc! Dopsie of Louisiana. Los Lobos, the L.A. barrio band, backs him on another.

Our Action Ad Phone Number is 365-2212 Hi ARROW BEER & WINE STORE Video outlets turn eye. to discs TORONTO (CP) — Videocassette outlets may soon begin handling compact discs because both VCRs and CDs appeal to so-called “technical cowboys,” says the U.S. trade journal Video Insider. Video dealers are finding that many of their customers also own compact disc players, a laser-read audio system said by enthusiasts to deliver sound quality superior to conventional viny! records. North American Video, a chain of video stores in North Carolina, began its first combined video and compact dise outlet in June, and the company's Ed T told the st “The indivi: who are | avid VCR buyers — we call them technical cowboys — they’re the people now buying CDs. “Our theory is you can make a CD customer out of a son who rents VCR cassettes, and some of your audio people will also be drawn into video.” Prices to fall TORONTO (CP) — The price of buying a hit movie on videocassette remains too high for most consumers, but USA Today reports thai the industry will make another run for the Christmas business by dropping the price on some recent blockbusters. The suspense drama Witness will drop from about $80 US to $20 US, a move that worked last year, when Beverly Hills Cop and Raiders of the Lost Ark were marked down to about $30 US. Those two movies will drop about 30 per cent in price again this fall, and other recent hits set to join the bargain bin include Trading Places, Sleeping Beauty (in stereo) and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Beverly Hills Cop has sold over a million copies, but high-priced hits such as Back to the Future have yet to reach 500,000, says the newspaper. Thrillers revived TORONTO (CP) — The instant success of The Fly, David Cronenberg’s reworked version of the 1950s horror classic, can only fuel interest in similar films from that era and the major Hollywood studios have anticipated the demand. Raiding their vaults for campy old thrillers, pro- ducers have made a number of recent re-issues on video ineluding Invasion of the Body Snatchers, This Island Earth, Forbidden Planet and The Day The Earth Stood Still. Fashion goes video TORONTO (CP) — After what videos have done for pop music, the fashion industry wants in as well. Fashion videos, formerly just a sales vehicle for clothing and cosmetics makers, are being shaped as an entertainment format with all the trademarks of a rock video. Usually about three minutes long, the videos come wrapped in pop esthetics with hot.music, hard images and a soft-sell approach that blurs the line between advertising and entertainment.” ‘The appeal of the videos, producer Paul French told the Toronto Globe and Mail, is that “fashion itself is being as an entertainment medium.” CITY-TV, an innovative Tate TV station, has recently i d di of its syndi Fashion Television broadcasts, and the Life Channel now carries daily versions of a program called Fashion America. “Designers have seen rock stars create hugh fashion trends,” says French, and fashion and music in cross-promotion are the obvious next step. “When you think about it,” French says, “a lot of those 30-second commercials for Pepsi could be fashion video.” New show slated Immediate Family, Women under the pressure of her on Cue’s next production, will new life alone: “I drove and premiere Sept. 10 in Nelson. drove .. . couldn't face the Immediate Family is a ee and a love story.

JOHN'S, Nfld. (cP) — Residents of tiny communities lined the roadways Tuesday, showering kisses, gifts and birthday cakes on wheelchair athlete Rick Hansen as he set out from St. John's on the final 12,000 kilometres of his worldwide trek. Passing through places along Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula with names like Kelligrews, Seal Cove and Upper Gullies, he covered 70 kilometres on his first full day of wheeling in Canada since he left Vancouver 17 months ago. The winding road running along scenic Conception Bay was spotted with signs wishing Hansen a happy 29th birthday and urging him on. In Conception Bay South, organizers finished the tiny community's first wheelchair ramp just minutes before the Man in Motion arrived for a brief reception at town hall. Tour co-ordinator Muriel Honey returned to St. John's a few hours later with a garbage bag full of money collected along the way. On Monday, Hansen left Cape Spear, North America’s easternmost point, and headed 20 kilometres into St. John's, where the paraplegic met with other disabled people and ded several fi a birthday party Tuesday complete with a giant cake frosted with a map of his 34-country, 40,000-kilometre tour. “Vancouver, here's lookin’ at ya,” he said just prior to leaving the Newfoundland capital. “We're comin’ home.” Hansen took a two-hour break in Seal Cove, about 30 kilometres out of the city, where he ate lunch, rested and aursed,.a,sore shoulder. Life may have existed on Mars MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Ice-covered lakes on ancient Mars could have spawned life, but it’s highly unlikely that life exists on the red planet today, NASA scientists said Tuesday Astrophysicist Christo- pher McKay and biologist Robert Wharton said their conclusions come from com- parative studies of seven Antarctic lakes and the dry beds of what photographs in- dicate once were giant lakes in a 4,800-kilometre-long canyon system near Mars’s equator. McKay said that if life did evolve on Mars, it probably would have been destroyed billions of years ago when the planet cooled and lost much of its atmosphere. “It's highly unlikely life could exist on Mars today,” he said. The researchers said a complex process that keeps the Antarctic lakes at temp- eratures up to 25 C despite sai ice coverings up to 4.5 metres thick could also have trapped heat and concentrated dis- solved gases in Martian lakes. Photographs taken by the Viking mission show layered sediments on the floor of the Martian canyon called Valles Marineris. Scientists said the flatness and apparent con- sistency in thickness suggest the sediments were laid down in liquid water. “It's an almost inescapable conclusion,” said Michael Carr, planetary geologist with the U:S. Geological Sur- vey. COMPARES TO ANT: The Antarctic lakes, in an arid, frigid environment sim- ilar to what may have existed on early Mars, are the “closest analog on Earth to the Martian Don Alder, mechanical engineer for Hansen's seven- member team, adj his rims and the position of its axle so Hansen would use different museles to push himself over the grinding haul on the second leg of the eight-hour trip. Each day, the group studies a graph showing the different gradients of the terrain ahead. Hansen and physio- therapist Wanda Reid then plan their strategy on a daily basis. Nevertheless, Hansen is suffering from bursitis in his — a chronic problem associated with persistent stress. He also has neck problems that Reid treats with ice, massage and manual therapy, a form of traction. “His health is not too bad,” Reid said. “Psychologically, he’s really strong. That's because there's been such an ineredible, warm reception and sendoff.” Alder, a boyhood friend of Hansen's, was with him the day he broke his back in 1972 on a fishing trip. “He caught the bigger fish,” said Alder, who along with Hansen is a native of Williams Lake, B.C. The two hitehhiked home in the back of a pickup truck. “We hit some washboard on a gravel road. The fellow driving lost control of the vehicle and it started to overturn.” Alder was thrown clear but Hansen was buried under- neath. “He was lucky to get the fish. I was lucky “to walk away from the accident unhurt. It was quite a shock.” > iBack to Union Peter’s See Sunday's Paper for Details (ancient lakes),” said Steven Squyres of Cornell Univer- sity, who has studied the Martian canyon photos. Although most scientists believe life is most likely to evolve in a warm environ- ment such as early Earth, McKay said pre-biological molecules necessary to form life are most stable at cooler temperatures. “Perhaps it was easier for ua to generate on Mars,” he ‘The NASA researchers said glacial meltstreams feeding the Antarctic lakes in the summer carry heat and about one metre of ice is lost from the surface a year.
