as Castlegar News July 4, 1990 ENTERTAINMENT Jon Bon Jovi finds solo work By ANDERSON The Canadian Press Heavy metal superstar Jon Bon Jovi is releasing anew single this week as part of his solo work with the for- thcoming movie Young Guns I. Jon Bon Jovi rose to the heights of pop stardom in 1987 as leader of the group Bon Jovi, but the singer says the band is ‘‘on hiatus’’ while he pur- sues other endeavors. As part of the Young Guns project, the single Blaze of Glory is due out in Canada on Thursday, followed on Aug. '3 by a soundtrack album that will include nine songs and music from the film score. Polygram Records says Bon Jovi is recording the Young Guns soun- dtrack this month in Los Angeles with an all-star band that includes Jeff Beck on lead guitar, Kenny Aronoff on drums, Waddy Wachtel on rhythm guitar, Benmont Tench on piano and Randy Jackson on bass.

Cassette singles continue to do a brisk business at Canadian record stores, but industry executives fear the new format is cutting into sales of regular cassettes and a sharp price in crease appears imminent. Statistics released this week by the Canadian Recording Industry Association show sales of Cassette singles in May were about $969,000 — a massive increase over the $47,000 raised during the format's first month on sale last May. However a report in the industry trade paper The Record says retailers sacrificed some of their usual profit margin last year to get the format off the ground. Now, consumers are seen as being less sensitive to price, and cassette singles could shoot up to $4.98 from $2.98 on average. Overall, industry sales for the first five months of the year were up four per cent to about $140.2 million. Regular cassettes have pulled in about $69 million, but growth has been just one per cent over the same period in 1989. The statistics also suggest that vinyl is continuing its seady decline — at least as a mainstream retail format — with sales of LPs down 95 per cent to just $487,000. For vinyl singles, the 12-inch format was down 30 per cent to $602,000. With 45 rpm vinyl singles, returns from retailers have ac- tually exceeded new shipments for a total net loss of about $697,000. Compact discs continue to grow in popularity, bringing in about $66 million, an increase of 25 per cent over the first five months of 1989. TO THE TROPICS AND BEYOND!!!

CBC chairman bets against high-definition television OTTAWA (CP) — It’s the thousand-dollar question for CBC chairman Patrick Watson. When will Canada have high- definition television broadcasting?

Conference-goers laughed but many disagreed with Watson about the future of the advanced form of television. HDTV has top-quality sound and sharper, brighter images that can be becoming grainy. “If you want it to happen you can make it happen,’’ said Janet West- Cyr, conference organizer and manager of technical relations for CBC engineering. “I'm a believer in HDTV."” One CBC representative at the con: ferences who didn’t want to be named, said Watson needs to be con- vinced of the merits and uses of HD.

CBC took the lead a few years ago by producing the Canadian television series Chasing Rainbows in high definition. But the network now has climbed into the back seat, content to keep up with new developments in.the technology, McEwen said. He agreed that with CBC’s limited budget, its technical money is better spent improving the quality of existing TV signals. But, the 45-year-old McEwen ad- ded: “I think I'll see it in my lifetime."” Weston Vivian, an American telecommunications consultant said broadcasters will defend the old ways because HDTV is immensely expen- sive with little chance of generating more revenue.

And high-definition pictures will likely arrive in people’s homes via satellites, rented VCR tapes or specialty. cable TV channels before regular television broadcasters such as CBC or CTV go high-definition. But he predicts that by 1997 half of regular broadcasters in the 30 largest U.S. cities will offer full-day high- shows and that cable television systems reaching one-third of American and Canadian audiences will carry those shows.

Addressing the party’s 28th Congress in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, Kruchina insisted that a new Soviet property law Violence mounts in Albania Embassies stormed as communists hold firm VIENNA (CP) — The capital of Albania is an armed camp today after rioting against Europe's last hardline Communist regime. At least 200 people have taken refuge in foreign embassies, many dodging police bullets. Asylum-seekers braved police gun- fire late Monday and early Tuesda: crashing trucks through embassy fen- ces or scaling embassy walls, said diplomats in the capital, Tirana. Both that only an owner can dispose of property. The party said its property was valued at 4.9 billion rubles (equivalent to about $9.8 billion Cdn at the official rate). But the figure does not include the luxury dachas and special stores for the party’s elite. It does count printing presses, schools, office buildings and vacation.retreats, all valuable in the political struggle. Left, right battle in USSR MOSCOW — Conservative delegates to the Soviet Communist party congress denounced liberals today, continuing a sharp battle between the party’s right and left wings. Moscow party chief Yuri Prokofiev, a liberal, was almost drowned out by slow hand-clapping from hardliners, while a peasant delegate won loud applause for attacking prominent liberal figures. “*A peasant is still capable of recognizing a wolf in sheep’s skin,” said Anatoly Volochkov, from central Russia, in a comment that drew applause from conservatives. Hardline Communists opposed to the sweeping reforms of party chief Mikhail Gorbachev seemed to be in a truculent mood on the third day of the 28th party congress.

Recovery begins after fire LOS ANGELES — The huge Santa Barbara brush fire that burned hundreds of homes was brought under control Tuesday as scores of fire victims across southern California began the formidable job of recovery. The blaze raged for 5 days after being set by an arsonist in San Marcos Pass. It blew across the foothills of the coastal mountains through hundreds of homes on the outskirts of Santa Barbara. But while victory over the 1,821-hectare fire took less than a week, people burned out of mroe than 450 dwellings were only beginning a long process of rebuilding and emotional recovery. It was the same story in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale, where 66 hillside homes were damaged or destroyed in an arson blaze June 27, and in the aftermath of a 2,700-hectare blaze that straddled the Orange- San Bernardino county line and destroyed 14 homes last week, Both fires were caused by arson, officials said. ‘= South Africa suspends seal hunt JOHANNESBURG — The South African government said today it is suspending plans to kill 30,000 seals to produce dog food and aphrodisiacs after protests from environmentalists around the world. Environment Minister Gert Kotze said he is suspending the culling to study public reaction to plans to kill 25,000 seal pups and 5,000 adult male seals on the northwest coast later this month. “This is not backtracking at all, but it’s fair towards the public and conservationists to consider their objections, and I want time to do that,”’ Kotze said on state-run radio. South African and i had p Taiwanese business group's plan to kill the seals for export. Seal bodies would be used for pet food while the males’ genitals are prizes as aphrodisiacs. Aquino won't let Imelda in MANILA — Philippine President Corazon Aquino found herself politically isolated Tuesday, as congressional leaders urged her to let Imelda Marcos return home after a U.S. court acquitted Marcos of looting the country’s treasury. Longtime Aquino supporters joined Marcos loyalists in calling for the return of the widow of the deposed president, Ferdinand Marcos. But Aquino refused to relax the ban and accused Marcos of supporting coup attempt in December. Cause of tragedy discovered MECA, Saudi Arabia — A frantic stampede that killed more than 1,400 Muslim pilgrims inside a sweltering tunnel was prompted by the tumbling of seven people from a bridge overhead, the Saudi interior minister said. On Tuesday, Prince Mayef put the death toll from the Monday morning crush at 1,426, making it the worst pilgrimage tragedy in recent history. “It was an unbearable sight,” said one survivor in the hospital at Mina, the tent city connected by the al-Muaissem tunnel at Mecca. “I lay on a heap of more than 20 bodies. Police pulled me out by a rope and my clothes."” The tragedy shattered what had been a peaceful observance of the annual pilgrimage, or haj, for the first time.in several years. In previous years, the celebration was marred by terrorist attacks and riots. Canadians export capitalism TORONTO — A Canadian company that brought instant printing to Moscow last year is hoping to introduce Soviet business people to Western-style stocks, bonds and ruble-financed leveraged buyouts. Toronto-based Phargo Group Inc. plans to open a merchant bank and brokerage house in Moscow, taking advantage of new Soviet laws permitting private property ownership, says president Geoffrey Carr- Harris. The laws, which came into effect on July 1 will allow Soviet individuals to own and trade shares in Soviet companies. Phargo is negotiating with Soviet officials which are drawing up plans for a stock exchange, Carr-Harris says. Deal worries gas exporters CALGARY — Canadian natural gas exporters could be hurt by lower prices if the United States gets open access to Mexican gas in a free trade deal between the two countries, a senior federal energy official sa ik says ys. A flood of Mexican gas could force down prices in California, Canada’s biggest foreign market, Bob Lyman, deputy director of energy policy and planning, said. and the Albanian government said people were woun- ded, but gave no figures. ‘The Austria press agency reported from Tirana on Tuesday night that security forces were everywhere in the capital and the mood was sombre. The agency said there were rumors of fatalities, a report the Greek government echoed in a statement. Diplomats said about 200 a hi ide bomb exploded in the Cuban Embassy com- pound in Tirana on Tuesday night, the official Albanian news agency ATA reported today. Nobody was injured in the attack which ATA described as ‘‘a base terrorist act aimed at impairing the very good relations between Albania and Cuba.’” ATA .said the embassy suffered “‘slight damage and a few broken windows.”” The Albanian situation recalled last August, when East Germans seeking safe passage to the West began filling embassies in other East European states, helping to trigger the peaceful revolution that toppled Communist rule in their country. This spring, Albania’s Communist ruler took some first steps to open the impoverished, isolated country of 3.2 million people to the outside world, ising to lift i and relax restrictions on foreign travel. The run on embassies indicates visa restrictions remain in place. Alb have sought refuge in at least @ dozen embassies since late last week. The greatest concentration, 86, appeared to be in the West German ; compound, which has been in full operation for just three weeks: Refugees were also reported at the ies of France, Hungary, Bulgaria, China and Egypt. Canada does not have any diplomatic representatives in Alba While Tirana still has no diplomatic relations with Washington or Moscow, the country on the Adriatic Sea has allowed other embassies to open. Officials in Bonn, Ankara and several European capitals said talks were in progress to resolve the refugee problem, which could signal the beginning of the end of the hardline government of Ramiz Alia. If authorities allow all embassy oc- cupants to leave the country, the move would likely encourage an Bonn and other European gover- nments have protested that shots were fired at their missions’ doorsteps and European Community officials were to discuss the Albanian situation oday in Brussels. The Albanian government called the refugees ‘‘vagabonds, former prisoners . . . as well as some deceived adolescents.”” It said a crowd outside an uniden- tified embassy ‘‘created an alarming situation,’’ throwing stones and bricks at police, blocking traffic and breaking shop windows. ATA said some people slightly wounded,’”’ and an un- specified number of people were detained after ‘‘forces of ordér and “‘were othe working people of the capital’’ dispersed the rioters. Turkish Ambassador Teoman Surenkok said 26 of the 32 Albanians whio had sought refuge in his embassy left after the Albanian government ‘allowed them to leave the country, the Anatoloia news agency reported. Italy’s Foreign Ministry, in a statement in Rome, said Albanian security forces had used firearms to try to turn back refugees. A Greek government communique teported shooting and unconfirmed exodus by Albani: by Europe’s lowest living standards and decades of political repression. of ‘‘victims among the population. “I saw four people injured among the refugees,”’ said Greek envoy Pan- delis Karkambasis. ‘At least two were by gunfire. One of them was in serious condition."” The West German Foreign Ministry said Tuesday some of the 86 Albanians who took refugee in the West German mission in Tirana had climbed forces, while others smashed through a wall with a truck and then ran for shelter. Albania, which is about half the size of New Brunswick, is widely con- sidered Europe’s most backward and poorest country. But the government this spring promised limited reforms and relaxed restrictions on foreign travel, promising to end the death penalty for those who try to flee the country, Phone 365-2212 BUT stores from it You were working at your job were attending school or taking the kids somewhere went to a church meeting went shopping dropped over to the neighbors job...
