ENTERTAINMENT ‘Equinox ‘good story’ By The Kurt Palka has a new novel and a new name to go with it. Equinox, just published under the name Kurt Max- well, is a novel the Austrian- born Palka has been writing in his head, and in notebooks, for the last 10 years. While Palka was ‘writing two earlier novels, he was also shaping Equinox in his mind, although some of the ingredients for the rather complex tale always seemed to elude him. Now, using his middle name Maxwell as a surname, he has finally published his story which ‘begins in the final months of the Second World War and ends with a high-tech struggle between Sophisticated terrorist and anti-terrorist forces. It's a good story and Pal- ka's background as. a Tor- onto-based TV journalist and writer helped open doors for an engrossing inside look at the frightening world of ter- rorism and the new breed of counter-terrorist forces.

CAREER FOR MANY Although he once thought most terrorists were mis- with a genuine beef, Palka now thinks that for many the one- time “cause” has long been superseded by what he calls career terrorism — “they're in it for the kicks, the money, the guns. e “They discover a new life- style, new wealth and gla- mor, and say ‘Wow, I can do this.’ For the women — such as young Gabby in his novel — leading West German politi: cian. What few know — and the terrorists only accidently discover — is that Helm has with him a secret nuclear strategy file and that its publication would be a grind- ing humiliation for the West in general and the United States in particular. OUTDOES BOND And so the state-of-the art chase, using techniques and equipment that would make James Bond envious, is on — the anti-terrorists seeking to free Helm and the Ameri- cans desperate to retrieve the file. It’s a sound plot, with an unexpected double twist at the end. inary work on Equinox, Pal- ka says, it always lacked a human touch.

PENING SOON Eddie besa ciate sequel to the hugely successful Beverly Hills — not si ly called Beverly Hills Cop If — opens tonight at the Castle Theatre. While at first:glance that may not seem like much, it is, because it’s also the night the film opens across Canada in major ceritres such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. It's unusual for any movie to open nationally in ‘Castlegar. The last time it was done was another Murphy film called The Golden Child, which opened over a Christmas season. More often, Castlegar moviegoers have to wait at least a couple of weeks before they get a chance to see the latest movie releases. But that is about to change. Castle Theatre owner Bob Bennett says he plans to have other movies open in Castlegar the same date they open nationally. He has already lined up Harry and the Hendersons to open here June 19. The comedy drama about a hairy animal that moves in with a family is made by a Steven Spielberg company. Bennett says that to open a film on the same date it opens i takes a t something pretty significant for a paar theatre like Castlegar's. He says his booking agency has “got a little bit of power and put some work. behind” getting Murphy's Beverly Hills op I. RAINMAKER CONTINUES TO HAVE FUN By JERRY NACHTIGAL Associated Press KANSAS CITY, MO. — The road to rock 'n’ roll stardom, the Rainmakers have found, can lead down some strange paths, such as the one that took the four-member group to a music festival in Belgium. “Most of the groups were like the headline act, Killing Joke, which has a big following in Europe,” recalled lead singer and songwriter Bob Walkenhorst. “They're kind of into fascist rock — they all wear black, their fans dress in black. “So here we are performing right before the headline group. We've got on our multicolored clothes and our goofy attitudes. “We were just up there to have fun! “Before you know it, the audience bought it. They thought, ‘These guys really are having fun! Why are we being fascists? Let’s have fun too.” The fun hasn't stopped for the Rainmakers, who have risen from relative obscurity as a Midwestern bar band to a critically acclaimed national recording act. Newsweek called the Rainmakers’ first album the hottest rock debut of 1986, and said their music embodied the best:pf rock: “simplicity, sincerity and velocity.” The group also placed fifth in the best new American band category of an annual readers’ poll published in February by Rolling Stone magazine. The group — Walkenhorst, lead guitarist Steve Phillips, bass guitarist Rich Ruth and drummer Pat Tomek — toured extensively in the United States and Europe following the release of their debut LP, The Rainmakers. ‘They appeared with such groups as Berlin, Big Country, The Beach Boys and Marshall Crenshaw, and went on a late-winter tour with the rej band, Kansas. The first LP, released last August, has had a respectable showing, selling about 100,000 copies in the United States and another 20,000 abroad. It climbed to 83 on Billboard magazine's pop sales charts. Videos for their songs Let My People Go-Go and Downstream have received air play on Music Television and other music video TV shows. They were to begin production of their second album for PolyGram Records in April in Memphis, Tenn., with a summer release date. Originally known as Steve, Bob, Rich, the Rainmakers ped a cult following by playing ni; throughout the Midwest for,more than three years before signing with PolyGram. Walkenhorst came up with the group's new name after Tomek joined the band last year. Because they lived far from the record companies on both coasts, it took the band a little longer to solve the mystery of how to go about making a record, Walkenhorst said. “When it finally worked for us, it was so simple it was just silly,” he said. “All you do is write some good songs, record ‘em, get somebody to take the tape to the record companies.

Others knew of him. But they came together for his cause. And as Rick Han- sen begins wheeling the final 180 kilometres of his 26- month global odyssey today, there are conflicting emo Man-in- Motion crew. Above all, there is relief and happiness — for them- selves that the long, gruell- ing grind is nearly over, but more importantly for the satisfaction of helping Han- sen fulfill a dream. On Tuesday, while Hansen was resting in his motel tucked beneath the mount- ains that shade this south- western B.C. community, part of that dream was re- alized. The Man-in-Motion fund topped its $10 million goal for spinal cord research and promoting the abilities of the disabled. The total does not include adminis’ ive costs or the $2.3 million the Alberta gov: ernment donated to match money raised by residents there. That money will be used for projects within Al- berta. More than $2.4 million has been raised in B.C. and the provincial government will match whatever B.C. donations were banked by Friday. While the closeness of home has produced a more relaxed atmosphere, there is an underlying sadness. “We've been so close for so long,” says Rico Bondi, who joined the tour seven months ago in New Brunswick. “It's a bittersweet feeling, sort of happy it's all over for him, sad that we're not going to be together anymore. “I think Oakridge mall, B.C. Place (the final two events Friday and Saturday in Vancouver) is really going to hit us hard when it’s finally over.” Amanda Reid, the poised, auburn-haired physiotherap- ist who will become Hansen's wife in October, says every- body is getting excited about “what's there and what's waiting for us.” “But we're going to be sad to see it go. It's been a way of life for so long. “Whether it’s been difficult or not is not even the case anymore, it’s become a life- style and I think it’s going to take us all a long time to readapt and get back into the mainstream of things.” Don Alder, the boyhood friend who was with Hansen 14 years ago when the wheelchair athlete was in the accident that changed his life, knows there will be tears when the tour ends. It has been a long time since Han- sen, 29, and Alder were thrown out of the back of a pickup truck which rolled into. a ditch near Williams Lake. Alder suffered minor injuries but Hansen's spinal cord was severed. Champion Bingo Hall yes. 00 Thursday, May 21 EVERYONE EQUAL EXPRESS NIGHT $41 and $42 packages for $26.
