Oak Ridge boys
expel member
from quartet

NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP) —
Flamboyant William Lee Golden,
voted out of the Oak Ridge Bofs’
country quartet last year, has a fresh
career singing with his two sons in
the new group, the Goldens.

He has been performing this year
with Rusty, 29, and Chris, 25, in the
aftermath of his well-publicized ous
ter from the Oak Ridge Boys.

During Golden's 22 years with the
group, it won five Grammy awards.
The Oak Ridge Boys are best known
for their hits “Elvira,” which sold two
million, and “Bobbie Sue,” which sold
one million.

Joining his sons has a special sig.
nificance for Golden, who sang lead
on one of the Oak Ridge Boys’ many
hits, “Thank God for Kids.”

“T've learned about music and their
youthful enthusiasm,” the 49-year.
old Golden said. “We go to concerts
together and study what's happening
in the music business. When I hear
someone on the radio I don't know, I
ask them, ‘Who is that.’ They usually
know and seem attuned to what's
going on.”

The other three members of the
Oak Ridge Boys replaced Golden in
1987 because of personal and musical
differences. His successor was
former child actor, Steve Sanders,
who had played rhythm guitar in
their band for five years.

Golden, who stood out because of
his waist-length hair and flowing
beard, recently talked about his
ouster.

‘GOT MAD’

“I could see the writing on the wall
for a while,” he said. “When it came
down, at first I laughed at how it was
handled, then I got mad. It hit all the
emotions.”

“Some days you disagree, but a
family is forgiving,” he said. “I'm not
perfect either; I have my faults. I've
been guilty of having too much fun.

“Now, I'd rather help my family
with guidance and assistance.”

It was the Oak Ridge Boys’ first
personnel change in 10 years.

A year before his ouster, Golden
recorded an album on his own,
“American Vagabond.”

“I was getting frustrated because I

had music inside me,” Golden said,
“That's why I did the solo album.
They didn't want me to do it and
wouldn't allow me to sing songs from
that album on stage as the Oak Ridge
Boys.”

After being voted out, Golden filed
a $40 million lawsuit against the
group, seeking $10 million in general
damages and $30 million in punitive
damages.

SETTLE LAWSUIT

But Golden, a native of Brewton,
Ala., says feelings are mellowing
among the four. Lawyers have been
working to settle the lawsuit out of
court.

The Oak Ridge Boys attended a
Nashville concert by the Goldens in
early June.

“I respect that,” Golden said.

“We speak when we're around
each other,” he added.

Lisa Bonet
returns to
Cosby show

BURBANK, CALIF. (AP) — Lisa
Bonet, who as Denise Huxtable in
The Cosby Show departed for college
as the star of A Different World, is
being welcomed back into the family
fold as a dropout.

“Bill Cosby feels that her story of
being a college dropout, which is how
she will be played, would be better
served on The Cosby Show,” NBC
entertainment president Brandon
Tartikoff said at a news conference.

Something similar to this hap-
pened to one of his own daughters
and he said he would be pleased to
have it portrayed on his show,” he
said.

Bonet's character, Denise, plays a
college student in A Different World,
which was spun off from The Cosby
Show.

Bonet married singer Romeo Blue
last year and is pregnant, but the
pregnancy will not be worked into
the plot, Tartikoff said.

Pulp, paper prices
reach record high

TORONTO (CP) — Spurred by a strong
economy and scarcity of wtesigenpe Canada's pulp | and
paper p s will cel y
by sending the prices of their idee soaring to
record highs.

The increases will hit virtually all the major
forest products commodities — pulp, book and
writing paper, and the glossy grades of coated paper
used for catalogues and advertising inserts — sold
through long-term contracts based on industry-wide
list prices.

The only exception will be standard newsprint
which, while remaining in tight supply, has become
the weakest of the pulp and paper family.

“It's a case of getting as much as you can while
you have the option of getting it,” said James
Rowland, author of the Montreal-based Canadian
Paper Analyst. “The long and short of it is that
there's just not very much product out there.”

There's so little product available that the big
question behind this round of price increases wasn't
whether the producers would get them, but rather,
how large they would be.

The biggest gain goes to the price of pulp, with a
6.5-per-cent increase. Northern bleached softwood
kraft, the industry bellweather, will rise $35 US to
highs of $735 a tonne in North America and $760
overseas.

The pulp price increase is the third consecutive
quarterly rise this year, and the eighth since supply
started tightening in the early months of 1986.

This time, none of the big pulp producers held
back after promising customers time to catch their
collective breath.

STARTS INCREASES

“Some of the B.C. companies looked like they
might have hesitated,” Rowland said. “But George
Petty (chairman of Repap Enterprises Corp. Inc. of
Montreal, which led off the $35-a-tonne price
increase on May 27) stuck his neck out and all the
others followed.”

They were followed by producers of other
grades of pulp, and those from other countries, said
Nairne Gray, general manager of pulp sales for
Noranda Forest Sales Inc. of Toronto.

After northern softwood producers fell into line
behind Repap, everyone else — southern U.S.
softwood mills and hardwood pulp producers in both
countries — increased their prices by $45 to range

wave of high pulp prices. Prices soared to

overseas this weekend. CasNewsPhoto

Scandinavian pulp mills and. those making
haitdwood pulp from eucalyptus soon followed, Gray
said.

In turn, printing and writing paper producers
have responded to rising costs and stronger demand
by raising the prices for all their products by about
five or six per cent.

The price of-50-pound offset paper, the most
popular grade for book printing and stationery, will
rise $40 to $50 to end up in the $840-$850 a tonne
range, industry price watchers said.

Supercalendered paper, a‘ shiny groundwood
paper made by passing a special grade of newsprint
through a polishing process, goes up $50 to $55 a
tonne to a record high of $852 to $857.

Manufacturers of lightweight coated printing

which they finally pushed through the first real price

Drought boosting prices

By ERIC BEAUCHESNE

OTTAWA — Last year a Canadian
wheat farmer suggested to a tele-
vision interviewer that a major crop
failure somewhere around the world
might soothe the economic distress of
thousands of Canadian farmers.

Massive world grain surpluses had
pushed prices to rock-bottom levels
and there appeared to be virtually no
headway in international negoti-
ations to end or even reduce gov-
ernment subsidies which were res-
ponsible.

There is still no end in sight to the
subsidy war, despite the efforts by
Canada at the economic summit last
week to settle the dispute.

But this year’s drought in the
major grain regions of Canada and
the United States, which some ex-
perts compare with the dustbowl era
of the 1930s, may be the temporary
though unwanted solution.

The drought will reduce world
grain surpluses and has already be-
gun to boost grain prices.

The problem is that Canadian
grain farmers and farmers in the
U.S. midwest are hurtung because of
anticipated crop failures after this
dry, hot summer and not their com-
petitors in Europe, Argentina, Aus-
tralia or Brazil.

ESTIMATE LOSS

Grain companies estimate their
lost Canadian grain production this
year at five million metric tonnes
from the normal 45 million with a
potential loss of $1.5 billion to the
grain trade.

The impact of the drought, how-
ever, goes far beyond its damage to
Canadian farmers.

Hundreds of workers who help
move grain to markets are idle, as
farmers hold on to their crops in the
expectation that prices will rise fur-
ther.

And those job and profit losses,
combined with the reduction in farm

prices for consumers is not yet
known and Agriculture Canada is, for
the moment, sticking with its fore-
east that food prices will rise’ by
about two per cent this year.

But a concern raised this week
by European and U.S. farm trade
officials has serious implications for
the future if world grain surpluses
are reduced and prices continue to
rise.

There is a possibility that pressure
for world leaders to solve their
dispute about farm subsidies —
which produced the surpluses and
lower prices in the first place —
might ease as a result of the current
situations.

HIGHER PRICES

“As prices move higher because of
the drought, there is no question that
takes a certain edge off the desire
for a resolution of the matter,” said
Daniel Amstutz, chief U.S. farm
trade negotiator.

And Rolf Moehler, a senior agri-
culture official with the European
Community adds: “Some people will
then feel the problem is solved and
you may go home and wait for the
next crisis.”

Both expressed optimism that will
not occur.

And Sushma Barewal, senior econ-
omist with Agriculture Canada, said
Canada’s position on seeking an end
to the subsidy war is “very strong.”

“The subsidy war is a long-term
issue that should be resolved by an
agreement among countries and not
by a temporary event such as the
drought,” she said.

But is it a temporary event?

An Environment Canada report
released last week suggested that
this year’s Prairie drought is just a
mild spell compared with what is
coming.
