After all, the international music star is a headliner for a Canadian festival in the heart of London. “I never really was a chauvinist in my life” says Mitchell, adding that she’s moved so often she never for- med an intimate bond with a com- munity. She says she’s probably spent more time in New York and Los Angeles than in Canada. “I'm a gypsy by nature,”’ says the slender Mitchell. ‘‘But I get a rush when I go to Saskatchewan or the land of my birth.”” Last week, Mitchell helped to mark the beginning of Canada in the City — a two-week celebration of art, music and culture that officials call the first major Canadian festival in Britain. The centrepiece is 25 Mitchell pain- tings from 1980-90, her first portraits, abstract pieces on ecology and lan- Berlin Wall cumscribed experiences. “These are little moments,”’ says Mitchell, pointing to her paintings. “I think there is a tenderness here that Perhaps couldg’t be detailed in a The London festival boasts a lineup of top Canadian performers such as Cape Breton singer Rita MacNeil, JONI MITCHELL +++ mever really « chouvinist jazz pianist Jon Ballantyne and coun- try blues singer Colicen Peterson.

Although the main message of John Boorman’s film — to get on in life you must co-operate with others — is one taught to toddlers by Sesame Street, getting it here is a whole lot of fun. Much credit lies with Dabney Coleman who plays demolition expert Stewart McBain with great wit. Mc- Bain behaves just like one of his bulldozers when he decides his grown kids should start coping for them- selves. He boots them out of his house and into a dilapidated tenement But when a takeover deal goes sour it’s his world that comes tumbling down. Music Box (Careico) — This timely drama about a modern war-crimes trial is riveting. Much of its power comes from a flawless performance by Jessica Lange as a defence lawyer bidding to clear her elderly father’s name. House Party (RCA-Columbia) — At last: a Hollywood teen comedy with a rap beat. This black Saturday Night Fever has the latest in music, dance and street talk. Joe Veruss the Volcano (Warner) loads of potential. And with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as the leading Players you'd imagine the romantic sparks would fly.

If interest rates increase one percen- tage point for an entire year above the budget forecast, it would increase the deficit by $1.7 billion im one year, ac- cording to Wilson's budget documen- ts.

Opposition to the GST and a weakening economy will also rule out tax increases as one way to narrow the deficit, he added. That leaves spending cuts as the other way to lower the deficit. “Wilson has got to do more on spending and he was supposed to do more on spending from day one, but he hasn’t,”” said Carl Beigie, chief economist McLean McCarthy Ltd.

VIR Pending forest deal criticized EDMONTON (CP) — The Alberta cabinet is preparing to sign away more of the province’s forests without con- sulting the public, say environmen- talists. “The essence of the whole situation is there’s no way of affecting what's going on here,”’ said John Sheehan, spokesman for Friends of the Peace. “It’s a sad day for democracy in Alberta when you have a few people deciding the future of the province.”” Forestry Minister LeRoy Fjordbot- ten said cabinet will likely decide within two months which of two competing companies will win the right to harvest forests in the High Prairie area. “They're going about doing things exactly the same as two or three years ago when they forced these pulp mill developments on people,’’ said Sheehan. But Fjordbotten said it’s cabinet’s job to decide which company should have a chance to harvest the forests. “What we're elected to do is make that kind of decision, but to say there won’t be public input in just not true,”” said Fjordbotten. ‘‘There has to be some trust.”” BRIAN’S REPAIR SERVICE SMALL ENGINES * AUTOMOTIVE GENERAL MECHANICAL 613-13th St., © 365-7233 Overwaitea’s Autumn CASE LOT SALE Coming next week Sept. 23-29 7,341 People can’t be wrong!
