RTT SS < Castlégar News October 21, 1987 ON LOCATION . . . Crew of Housekeeping prepares for shooting outside Castlegar CP Rail station last CPR STATION LOOKS GREAT IN NEW MOVIE By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar’s historic CP Rail station plays its part well in the new movie Housekeeping, says Nelson Mayor Gerald Rotering. “Your station's absolutely perfect,” Rotering said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Rotering attended the movie's premiere last Thursday in Vancouver, along with a host of VIPs from the Commonwealth conference. At the end of the evening, Rotering presented a dozen red roses to each of Housekeeping’s leading ladies, American Christine Lahti and Vancouver's Sara Walker and Andrea Burchill. Rotering said the movie, directed by Scotland's Bill Forsyth and filmed on location in Nelson and winter. the West Kootenay last winter, should be a critical success. But he says the movie doesn't feature Nelson as prominently as the Steve Martin summer hit Roxanne. “Nobody's going to come to Nelson because they saw Housekeeping,” Rotering said, referring to the fact the city received a number of inquiries from people interested in settling there after Roxanne was released. Rotering says there is much less of Nelson in Housekeeping and more Kootenay Lake scenery, such as Fletcher Falls near Kaslo. He said the film also focuses heavily on the train trestle Forsyth, 40, had erected near Harrop. Rotering said he enjoyed the movie because of all the local faces in it. “Tm sure locals outnumber. Hollywood people in the film,” he said. Rotering is optimistic Nelson will see more film and television productions in the near future. He said the area is presently being “actively scouted.” “It’s only a question of when,” he said. And he said Castlegar’s train station could be in- volved, even in its new location at the corner of 13th Avenue and 3rd Street. “I wouldn't be surprised if it gets used again,” Rotering said, adding that he thinks Castlegar should . « The Castlegar CP Rail station was cast as the fictional Fingerbone station in the movie Housekeeping. ~ Canhews File Photo keep its heritage buildings like the station and the chapel house on Zuckerberg Island. Housekeeping will be given a general release later this month in the U.S. and is expected to be in Canada in November. It has received a few sneak previews and it opened the Vancouver Film Festival last Friday night. Despite Rotering’s acclaim, the movie has received so-so reviews from the two Vancouver papers. Marke Andrews of The Vancouver Sun says, “If the film could be rated on atmosphere alone, Housekeeping would be beyond reproach. You settle into it like you settle into a good, roomy novel, absorbing the sights and sounds of the remote town of Fingerbone . . . and the quirks of its populace. “There is more to a film than atmosphere, however, and Housekeeping — which marks Scottish director Bill Forsyth's first crack at drama — occasionally fails to live up to its surroundings.” Andrews later concludes: “Housekeeping is a notch above most of the studio fare in the theatres this fall. When you watch it, though, you keep thinking that it could have been better.” Rebalkin funeral Thursday Alex W.

Finance Minister Michael Wilson said in Ottawa he was reassured by the’apparent recovery. “The markets have bounced back. What happens (next) we'll have to see for the balance of the day.” Markets rose amid indications that the Bank of Canada and its U.S. counterpart, the Federal Reserve Board, were injecting more money into the economy, a move that should lower interest rates — and reduce fears of an economic downturn, analysts said. In New York, the stock market continued to roar back from its $500-billion US collapse on Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average — a key barometer of market acitivity on Wall Street — gained 198 points by late morning to surpass the level at which it started the year. The jump came after the Dow's record 102-point single-day gain Tuesday, which followed a record 508-point drop Monday. Fresh investors, institutions and bargain-hunters were behind much of the buying, analysts said, adding the impressive gains can be partially attributed to the severity of Monday's loss. “There are wall-to-wall buyers here today,” said George Chisholm, a senior trader on the floor of the Toronto Stock Exchange. stocks had soared by 290 points by late morning to reach 8,268, after losing a total of 627 points — about 16 per cent of its value — on Monday and Tuesday. U.S. analysts said today’s gains were spread throughout a broader range of stocks, unlike Tuesday's gains, which recover were largely limited to blue-chips, and seemed a more certain indication the market is recovering from losses which began late last week. “It's a good solid recovery — but it's very fragile,” cautioned John Ing, president of Maison Placements Canada Ine. in Toronto. Other Canadian markets also soared. On the Vancouver Stock Exchange, the index was up 96 points to 1,416. Overseas markets joined in the upswing. The Tokyo stock market, which because of time changes closed for the day before Wall Street opened — jumped record 2,087 points today, wiping out more than half of the losses suffered in earlier panic selling. The London market, anticipating that Wall Street would make further gains today, also rebounded. ‘The Canadian dollar, meanwhile, showed some strength after dropping nearly a cent against the U.S. counterpart Tuesday. In late morning it was trading at 76.20 cents US, up from Tuesday's close of 75.96 cents. Analysts said currency traders had over-reacted to market losses. Toronto analyst Gino Blink said it is clear that the record plunges on most markets during the last two days are over. “To call it exp! would be an ” said Blink of Deacon Morgan McEwen Easson Ltd. The Toronto market fell 11 per cent Monday and some analysts said Tuesday's losses brought it in line with New York, which lost 22 per cent of its value Monday. The Montreal exchange dropped 110.11 points and Vancouver fell 226 points. Montreal had erased its Tuesday losses by noon today, however, with a gain of 141 points in very heavy trading. All the Canadian exchanges are heavily resource-based and therefore suffered from a drop in commodity prices on futures exchanges Tuesday.

Ted Arison, who with his family had a $1.8-billion stake in Carnival Cruise Lines on Sept. 11, lost an estimated $34.3 million Monday. In Canada, Rod Bryden of Ottawa lost $113.5 million on paper in the stock market crash Monday, but he didn’t lose any sleep over it. “I slept last night, and I'll sleep tonight and every night this week,” he said Tuesday. “I haven't sold everything, 80 it hasn't cost me anything.” Through Kinburn Corp., Bryden owns 33 per cent of SHL Systemhouse Inc., 52 per cent of Paperboard In- dustries Corp. and 54 per cent of Accugraph Corp.
