‘A variety of new course offerings and programs, as
well as returning‘ories will be offered on. the Knowledge
Network this fall.

Glen Mitchell, manager of public affairs for the
Knowledge Network, says one new series this year is the
running of National Film Board of Canada films beginning
the first Monday in October.

A variety of topics will be included in the films,
including cultural, travelogue and industrial orientation
type films.

In addition many general interest, science, health
and medical programs will be shown on the Knowledge
Network, Mitchell said in an interview this week.

As well, a full slate of children’s programs will.be
run.
-Mitchell notes that one quarter of the Knowledge
Network's audience consists of children.

The Network has approximately 450,000 viewers
across the province each week. But of those 450,000, only
about 20,000 are actually registered for telecourses.

“It's no small number really,*- Mitchell said when
compared to registration levels of any community
colleges. “It makes it a pretty large institution.”

The Knowledge Network doesn't do any registra-
tions itself, explains Mitchell: That is done through
community colleges, such as Selkirk College.

Of the Knowledge Network programs, about 20 per
cent are produced in B.C. Some of this is live
programming while others are taped.

The rest of the programs come from other parts of
the world, such as Canada like Alberta and Ontario and
some from Quebec.

Sixty-five per cent of the are Canadi.

New programs on

e Network

The Knowledge Networks also shows programs. in
from other countries, like Japan, Germany, Australia and
New Zealand. .

The Knowledge Network started in 1981, although
the legal body was actually created in the summer of
1980.

Two of the Knowledge Network's most popular

programs are and courses and The,
New Literacy, a computer course, says Mitchell.

The Knowledge Network is offering a total of 35
B.C.-produced telecourses this fall.

Following is a list of some of the courses:

e The Adult Years, by Open Learning Institute, an
upper-level social sciences course on adulthood;

e Beyond Turtle Graphics: Growing Up with Logo,
by Simon Fraser University, explores logo, a computer
language which has made its impact primarily in the field

Loves flirtation scene

NEW YORK (AP) — Rita
Moreno, eating pasta at Sar-
di's after a matinee perfor-
mance of The Odd Couple,
says the flirtation scene is
her favorite in the show. It's
the one where she gets to be
sexy. 3

Moreno plays Olive the
Untidy, opposite Sally Stru-
thers’ Florence the Neatnik,
in Neil Simon's sex-change
rewrite of his 20-year-old
comedy now playing on
Broadway.

In 1965, The Odd Couple
ran on Broadway for 964 per-
formances. Walter Matthau
as divorced Oscar took-in Art
Carney as just-separated
Felix as a roommate.

The English Pigeon sisters
called on Oscar and Felix. In
the female version, which
opened June 11 at the Broad-
hurst Theatre, the Spanish
Costazuela brothers court
Olive and Florence.

“It's ‘the only scene- in
which I get to be very femin-
ine,” Miss Moreno says. “)
love it, A scene like that is
called gold. I'm so hot to trot
Ican barely keep still. I cross
and uncross my legs. I
fan myself with passion and

get away with it, give them
smoldering looks. It's great
fun.”

Playing . Olive takes en-
ergy. The five-foot-three ac-
tress has dropped from 108 to
104 pounds since the show
opened, despite her pasta
and nap routine between
shows on matinee days. “l
can hear- the calories drop-
ping from me, clanging onto
the stage,” she says.
stage,” she says.

Moreno, who played the
Oriental Tuptim in The King
and I and the Puerto Rican
Anita in West Side Story, left
Hollywood after the latter,
Academy Award-winning
performance.

NEVER OCCURRED

It would never have oc-
cured to her that The Odd
Couple could be turned
around to star women. in-
stead of men, Miss Moreno
says.

“But for years any number
of women came to Neil and
suggested it. The last two to
come to him and do a reading
were Joan Rivers and Nancy
Walker. That didn't work
out.

“Jenny O'Hara and myself

were among the people in-
vited to that original reading.
The moment we finished,
Neil called Emanual Azen-
berg and said, ‘Book it.’ ”
O'Hara still has a role as
one of the players of the reg-
ular Trivial Pursuit game,
which has replaced the poker
game of the male version.
“On the road we found the
show had to be rewritten
more extensively than we
had thought, particularly my
part,” Moreno says. “Mat-
thau's lines were hilarious
coming out of his mouth; they

were forbidding coming out -

of mine, toward a woman
who had just been kicked out
of her home. There's a big
difference between a woman
being kicked out and a man.”

After Simon finished work
on Biloxi Blues and the play
headed for Broadway, he
started rewriting Matthau's
part to fit Olive and Gene
Saks, who had directed Biloxi
Blues began directing The
Odd Couple.

“Gene said that for Olive to
be as sloppy as Oscar, whp
stuck a sandwich under. his
arm to get out the cards,
turned people off. I was to be

careless, carefree and re-

mess, but my career is in
great. order; I'm personally
clean and I want to look
pretty.”

Moreno, who was brought
up in New York after ar-
riving from Puerto Rico at
the age of five, has been mar-
ried to Dr. Leonard Gordon
for 20 years. Their daughter
is an aspiring dancer.

Moreno made her debut on
Broadway at 13 and was in
movies at 16. After she left
Hollywood, she. did summer
stock, regional theatre and
She Loves Me in London.

“I love theatre and I'm so
glad to. be back I can't tell
you,” she says. “It's in my
veins.” Her last Broadway
show was “Wally's Cafe,”
which lasted three . weeks
four years ago.

Moreno was on TV's The
Electric Company for five
seasons. During the fifth, she
also was playing Googie Go-
mez in The Ritz on Broad-
way. When Neil Simon saw
that“he cast her as Linda
Lavin’s replacement in the

Lovers.

's Soviet

tours successful

EDMONTON (CP) — Van-
couver jazz guitarist Oliver
Gannon wishes he could be as
popular in Toronto or Halifax
as he is in Leningrad. z

His 1978 and 1984 tours of
the Soviet Union with Fraser
McPherson were so success-
ful another is being planned
for September 1986.

Now the question is, what
can Gannon accomplish at
home?

“Well, I'm getting a lot of
recognition around Vancou-
ver, but performing in other
cities isjwhat I want to do
more,” he said in an inter-
view Tuesday between ap-
pearances at the sixth annual
Jazz City festival.

“I've done a lot with Fraser
and I'd like to continue .. .
but at the same time I want
to get out and do a lot more
with my own group.”

His backup trio, called Re-
bop, consists of pianist Renee
Rosnes, bassist Paul Ruhland
and drummer George Ursan:

Being the main attraction
in a group is a relatively new

Choral

experience for Gannon, who
has been used to sharing the
limelight (and a 1982 Juno
Award for best jazz album, I
Didn't Know About You)
with McPherson.

The pair enlisted drummer
Jack Hanna for their 25-city
tour.of the Soviet Union last
year, managing on at least
one occasion to sell. out a
2,500-seat hall for three
nights in a row.

He said the trio. were
treated as stars by Russian
jazz-fans. .

“We were playing in Len-
ingrad and it was winter; a
cold, cold night,” he recalled.
“After the show we went
backstage and had a. few
drinks. We were there may-
be three-quarters of an hour
and finally wandered out to
get our bus home.

“There were about 30 pes-
ple standing outside the
stage door. They had been
waiting in the cold for auto-
graphs and just to see us.

Gas prices no lower

By EUGENE ELLMEN

where have created the illusion that. deregulation’ has

Automobile Association says there has been almost no
movement in the average price of gasoline across Canada.

And what is worse, new federal taxes and oil industry
reluctance to lower prices mean consumers can expect
higher fuel prices for the next year and a half, says
association spokesman Michael McNeil.

“I think that consumers should really be upset,” McNeil
said. “Motorists have always taken it on the chin.”

He urged motorists to write to federal Finance Minister
Michael Wilson calling for a cut in gasoline taxes. In
addition, he said Crown-owned Petro-Canada has an ethical
obligation to take the lead in lowering retail prices because it
has been financed with taxpayers’ money.

HOPES FOR DROP r

On June 1, the Conservative government ushered in a
new era of oil market pricing by dismantling the elaborate
system of fixed prices for crude oil. Many observers hoped
that allowing Canadian crude to be ‘sold at world prices and
relaxing ictions on oil imports would drive down the

banuma and Lang. “This is
scheduled for completion in
September during a 17-day

uled to impact before year
end.” The $20-million pro-

it's been pretty close to a wash although in southern Ontario

you've got a little bit of a decrease,” said Joe Mariash of

Shell Canada Ltd.

Petro-Canada advertised widely that it was lowering its
pump prices by 0.6 cents a litre effective June 1 because of
deregulation and lower taxes. But Petro-Canada spokesman
Carole Pressault said the company does not have a policy of
passing on savings from lower crude prices to consumers.

Yet the oil companies were able to purchase crude at a

-lower price immediately after June 1. Esso Petroleum

Canada, for example, dropped its Edmonton posted price —
the price it is willing to pay producers for crude — by about
40 cents a barrel on June 1 to $37.81 for a blend of light
crudes.

And those prices have been declining since. Esso now
pays as little as $35.55 for some light crudes and Gulf Canada
Ltd. has cut its crude prices by $1.25 since June.

“We're in business to make money,” said Esso
spokesman Ron Haynes. “Why should we pay more than
the market?”

Mariash didn't rule out that some of these savings might

only a small cut in retail pump prices in June, and it was due

B.C. Sugar a

VANCOUVER (CP) — At
first glance, it’s somewhat
surprising that the stock
price of B.C. Sugar has
moved from a $17%4 a share
low in 1984 to its current
peak near the $24 range.

The world price of sugar is
still near rock-bottom, the
threat of artificial sweet-
eners looms, and B.C. Sugar’s
major diversification effort in
the mid-1970s into the oil and
gas industry remains. a

said Shibanuma and Lang.
“Distortions of the facts have
been reported which may
have led to.a misunderstand-
ing of the actual situation. At
the time of this report, the
only known facts are that the
fires did occur and that some
nine days of production were
lost at the Canal Flats saw-
mill. This lost production is
expected to be recovered be-
fore year end and no change
in production rates is fore-
cast.”

But analysts say the com-
pany has almost everything
going for it: security, divi-
dend income and capital
gains potential.

B.C. Sugar has paid divi-
dends on- its common stock
for 91 straight years, and the
current dividend yield (the
divident as a percentage of
the market price) or more
than five per cent is on a

play on two commodities.”
Cherniavsky said neither
the western population nor
the sugar market shows
much sign of growing, and
that’s why B.C. Sugar has
made a number of attempts
in recent years to diversify.
“The sugar market is sat-
urated, You can’t go out and
make people eat sugar.”
Although none. of the
diversification “attempts —
especially the decision to
move into the oil and gas}
industry — has yet paid off in

Analyst Rick Sales of Van-

likens B.C. Sugar to a utility
because of the dividends —
$1.20 a share for the past four
years — but also sees poten-
tial for capital gains because
of the company’s involve-
ment-in both the sugar and

“It’s going to take a while for it to get to the public,” he
said.

‘Such cuts could mean big savings if they were passed
on. Each $1 reduction in the price of a barrel of oil, if passed
entirely on to consumers, would reduce retail prices by
about half a cent a litre.

DON'T WAIT

But McNeil said consumers shouldn't hold their breath.

He said the association polled all the major oil
companies at the time of deregulation and all said they didn’t
know whether their retail prices would drop.

The ies said retail ition plays a greater
role in pump pricing than the elimination of taxes or lower
crude prices.

And while lower crude prices could mean lower retail
prices, the history of gas prices in Canada does not suggest
it.

As a result, motorists can expect further increases in’
pump prices in September 1985, January 1986 and January
1987 as new taxes are scheduled to be imposed.

McNeil said motorists should not only press the federal
finance minister to cut taxes, they should press
government-owned Petro-Canada to offer lower prices. This
is especially true now that Petro-Canada has bought some of
Gulf Canada’s assets and expanding its network of dealers,
he added. :

“If there should be a price leader among them all, it
should be Petrocan. They ought to be more concerned about
the taxpayers out there.”

Pressault declined comment on McNeil’s suggestion.
