For Roth, of the rock group Van Halen, it’s “an aggres- sive woman with humor and the gift of fury” while Denver seeks a mature woman able of discussing ideas, is sues.” Ghostbusters singer Par ker is looking for “an inter- esting woman — not too fat or skinny — who thinks for herself." And if she enjoys cooking, that's a plus. “It excites me to see a woman cook,” Parker said in the July issue of Glamour magazine. The four were asked to pen hypothetical personal ads for the magazine. Yankovic, who became fa: mous with Eat It, a parody of Michael Jackson's hit Beat It, is looking for a woman “who can make (my favorite) pea nut butter and broccoli sand- wich. Yankovie says it would also help if she shares his idea of fun — “wading through a pool of lime Jell-O.” TV star loves horses By JERRY BUCK LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's not surprising that Alex Cord, who grew up around horses, should become a hard-charging polo player on a Hollywood celebrity team. “When I was two my par- ents put me on a pony and I've never gotten off,” Cord, who co-stars as Archangel on CBS’ Airwolf. As a youth, he spent time on a ranch in Wyoming, competed in rodeos and be- came an expert horseman. Two years ago he took up polo. “I always said I couldn't afford polo, it's a rich man’s game. But this guy invited me to the Will Rogers park and put me on a horse and in five minutes I was hitting the MAPLE LEAF TRAVEL GRAND TOUR OF BRITAIN Shakespeare Country North Wales York Lake District Scottish Highlands 14 Doys, V.K.

You have to be able to ride a horse at speed and control it. Even without hit- ting a ball controlling a horse is something. In Airwolf, which stars Jan Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine, Cord plays the head of The Firm, an intelli- gence agency. The charac. ter’s name is Michael Cold smith-Briggs III, better known as Michael Archangel. “I get a lot of fan mail asking why Alex Cord doesn’t have more to do in the show,” he said.

By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer For the past two decades Willi Draeger has established himself as a gifted accordian player throughout Scotland. Now Castlegar is in store for a taste of Draeger’s talent. Draeger and his wife, Elizabeth, recently moved to Castlegar from Beattock in Dumfriesshire to join their two daughters, Beth Jardine and Caroline Davis. However Draeger is struggling to find work both as an accordian player and full-time work doing whatever he can. “If there had been more of a percentage of Scottish and English people in the community here, it might have helped me to get started off on playing the accordian,” he says. But Draeger has had a few performances in the West Kootenay. He was part of the talent night at the annual Doukhobor Sports Day at South Slocan and has also played at Trail’s Union Hotel. “I had very very welcome people (in Trail),” he says. “I enjoyed playing very much,” Draeger added, although the turnout was not high. Draeger doesn't always entertain just for the money. He said his performances have raised “thousands of pounds” for cancer research. “I love to give my services to anything like that,” he says. Draeger’s accordian is not common in North American. He plays an Italian-made Curcianelli accor- dian, which is a five-rowed continental button-keyed instrument. In fact, when he was in this country holidaying a few years ago, he was in larger centres like Spokane and Vancouver and the music shops didn't even have this type of accordian listed in their catalogues. Yet he says that type of instrument is quite common in Scotland. One reason Draeger made himself popular with his accordian was because of his ability to accompany singers. “There are so many accordian players in Scotland but none could follow the singers the way I follow them,” he said. Draeger commented that there's nothing more annoying than to have an accordian player and a singer performing in different keys. Draeger isn't the only musician in his family. He has performed with his son, also named Willi, who is a . He was only nine-years-old when he started playing the drums, says his father. “He turned out to be a terrific drummer,” he said. The younger Draeger, who will turn 18 next month, has brought a modern flavor to traditional tunes when he accompanies his father. The older Draeger doesn’t read or write music. He taught himself to play. It all started back in Germany when his father, a country blacksmith, died when Draeger was 12 years old and a friend of his father's took him travelling with an amusement fair during the summer vacation. At the end of the summer, his friend wanted to give him something. Draeger chose an accordian. He played the instrument for a few years but then came World War Two and Draeger didn’t have another accordian until after the war when he went back to Germany to visit his mother. Draeger finished school in Germany when he was 14 years old and spent three years in a chemistry laboratory training to be a chemistry technician. But because of the war, that dream never came true. He landed in Scotland as a prisoner of war. After the war he decided to stay in Scotland. Since then, he has held various jobs, along with accordian playing, which have included driving a truck for a construction firm. He also worked for Scottish Brewers before he began managing hotels. and pubs. Willi gifted WILLI DRAEGER . . . moved to Castlegar “Absolutely magic” was the way he describes life as a prisoner of war. “For the very first time I received my first decent meal,” he recalls. “In Germany from my childhood until I became a prisoner, I never knew what it was like to have a wholesome decent meal. “When I got captured and saw the British soldiers eating white bread, that was propoganda. My eyes were opened to the fact we were kept in the dark all the time.” Draeger was a wireless operator in the German army. He volunteered for the army he said because if he didn’t he would have ended up on the Eastern Front. And of those who ended up there, very few of them ever saw home again, he adds. On the advice of the superiors in the chemical laboratory, he volunteered and ended up on the Western Front. Draeger never thought he was good enough to play in front of people, until he was convinced to compete in a Gala Competition in Gourdon, near Aberdeen: He won the competition, although he said the person who should have won it was a man named Robert Gowans. The two combined their talents, playing together for three years. Draeger, when he entertains, plays Scottish, German and even some French tunes. In addition, he is able to pick up many popular tunes. Draeger sees himself as an understanding person “People who came to see me (while he played) liked to talk to me,” he explains. “It's just my personality. I always look to life to make the very best possible. It's so short.” LOS ANGELES (AP) — If you like to hear Cliff the postman talk about his trip to Florida on NBC's Cheers, ask actor John Ratzenberger about the time he took off for England with $5 in his pocket and stayed for 10 years. Ratzenberger, of course, tells a more interesting story This Week in DEXTER’S PUB Cheers actor tells all a THE BELAIRS REE LE AAI RR than Cliff, a fount of mis. information on the hit com. edy show. He says he fash ioned the barroom know-it all after people he knew in his hometown of Bridgeport, Conn Cliff, along with Norm (George Wendt), provide at mosphere at the Cheers bars run by Sam Malone (Ted Danson), with the help of waitresses Diane (Shelley Long) and Carla (Rhea Perl man) Ratzenberger was working as an apprentice blacksmith in Vermont, following a stint as an unpaid playhouse dir ector, when he got a tax refund that was just enough to cover the cost of a one-way airfare to Britain. “I bought the ticket to London, but I didn’t have anything left. I borrowed $20 from a friend in New York so I could rent earphones on the plane and buy a drink. I hair, a backpack and $5. I stayed for 10 years, but the first two or three years were a real squeaker.” DUCKS BRICKS He and another American he met in London put toge ther an act of improvised comedy. They tried it out in parks in poor neighborhoods, where they won over an audience that tended to ex. press displeasure by throw ing bricks. Ratzenberger worked as a carpenter to supplement his income before the British Arts Council gave the com edy team a grant to take their act around the country “I thought we were the only ones doing improvised comedy,” he says. “It was eight years before I heard of the Ace Trucking Company or Second City.

The chemicals could be given off by plastics, insul ation, foam rubber, deodor- ants, paints — even tap water, the study said. The study, part of a con tinuing EPA examination of individual air pollution ex posure, was presented at a meeting of the Air Pollution Control Association in San Francisco a year ago but not released by the agency at the time. Officials made a copy Wt available this week. EPA estimates outdoor concentrations of “air toxics,” including toxie metals, prob- ably account for about 2,000 cases of cancer a year. The 11 chemicals studied, some chemically related, are in a class called volatile or- ganic compounds and are either poisonous or cause cancer or genetic changes. EPA scientists collected data from pollution monitors worn by 350 residents of Bayonne and Elizabeth, N.J., during 24 hours in 1981. Participants gave breath samples at the end and an. swered questions about their activities during that time. Of 11 chemicals measured Department Store 25% to 50% off!

CLASSIFIES SUBJECTS These included: president Marie Schultze, vice-presi- dent, Elaine Ross, secretary Grace Ackney, treasurer Adele Parnell, and directors Ann Fowler, Ann Gouk and Betty Oglow. In a brief address, the dis- trict governor reminded the group that the Rotary theme for 1985-86 is “You are the key” and that Rotarians should have pride, enthusi- asm and fun in doing their job. Tommy Richmond express- ed the couple's pleasure in coming to the inauguration ceremonies and thanked the Rotarians and Rotary Anns for their outstanding Castle- gar hospitality. “We have been royally,” she said. One particularly popular treated guest at the party was Kim- iko (Kim) Mitobe, the Castle- gar club’s exchange student from Tokyo, Japan. Mitobe is a senior student at Stanley Humphries Secondary and is staying with her Rotary “parents,” Bill and Karen Craven. She has been invited to spend the summer in Robson with Don McDowell, presi- dent of Gough Electric, Mrs. McDowell and their two daughters. The purpose of the student exchange is to pro- vide visiting students with a greater knowledge of the host country, Rotary Club says it hopes it other citizens will, with the per- mission of the host “parents, offer trips to places of inter- est during the holiday period.

Canadians eating less beef OTTAWA (CP) — Are Canadians becoming less fer- ocious? Well, the trend towards less consumption of beef is continuing, according to fig- ures by Statisties Canada.
