The MCA album, Let Me Up (I've Had Enough), was No. 16 with a bullet — which means it was climbing — on the June 6 best-selling chart, with Jammin’ Me at No. 33 and a bullet on the singles chart. The band produced the al- bum in Los Angles during a month off from touring with Bob Dylan, quicker and in a more freewheeling way than they usually do. There has been speculation that Dylan was responsible for the speed and the style, but Petty offers a different reasons. “I think the band just hit a moment,” he ‘said. “We did songs that didn't get PIANO STUDENTS . . .

Nelson Mayor Gerald Rotering, dressed in a grey tuxedo and top hat, stood on a sidewalk on Baker Street and welcomed many of the 150 VIPs who received red carpet treatment for the premiere. From Baker Street, the VIPs were chauffeur driven in vintage cars to the Civic Theatre where waiting cadets ‘opened the car doors and escorted the VIPs into the theatre. After the movie, the specially invited guests were treated to wine and cheese at the Heritage Inn. Among those who turned out for the premiere were Nelson-Creston MLA Howard Dirks, area mayors including Castlegar’s Audrey Moore and, of course, local media. And no, Martin and Hannah were not there. Moore said she enjoyed the premiere. “I enjoyed it and enjoyed the scenery of Nelson. The comedy was worth seeing,” Moore told the Castlegar News. Rotering said he thought the premiere went well.” “I was impressed with the spontaneous reaction of pomp and cirumstances went _ Bates who acts as a modern day Cyrano de Bergerac, has received rave reviews from the Vancouver Sun and Canadian Press. / Nelson area landmarks are quite recognizable in the , Nelson site.

In one scene, the firefighters are attempting to light some matresses and tires on fire for a practice session. One-of the firemen, playad by sete actor Michael J. Pollard, walks into the fire hall to tell . the fire started. Martin replies that he'll come out to help them and when the fireman turns to leave, Martin notices Pollard’s coat is on fire. In another scene, Martin's motley crew of misfits attempt to get a cat out of a tree. One fireman nearly hangs himself from a rope while another clings onto the side of a ladder for dear life. Then Martin arrives on the scene and manages to get the cat out of the tree by simply opening a can of cat food. While most of Roxanne is shot in Nelson, the bar scenes were filmed at Richards on Richards in Vancouver.

Who would have thought Steve Martin, the king of sneer, and Fred Schepisi, the Australian director of heavy-duty drama, would come up with a modern r i dy that's sheer 4 Both scriptwriter and star, Martin has taken the classic Cyrano de Bergerac tale of the swashbuckling, big-nosed bard who falls for the beautiful Roxanne (Daryl Hannah) and turned him into small-town fire chief C.D. Bales. It’s Martin's best movie performance because he’s not “on” all the time. He's into his character. Martin's trademark zaniness and acting excesses, which at times made the comedian exhausting to watch on a movie screen, have been smoothed out. ‘Martin's trademark zaniness and acting excesses... have been smoothed out’ A lot of the credit must go to Schepisi, whom Martin (also the film's executive producer) asked to direct the movie even though the Australian has never touched a comedy. All of Martin's other movie incarnations, even the cooler All of Me, had a demented quality that made it hard to forget that inside was one “wild and crazy guy.” But C.D. Bales, huge honker or not, is one believable and touching movie hero. SHOT IN B.C. In the dreamy, sun-kissed town of Nelson, Wash. — the movie was actually shot in Nelson, B.C. — C.D. Bales stands apart from the local yokels, including the beer-guzzling jocks, the klutzy volunteer firefighters and the crass mayor who wants to turn the tranquil town into an Aspen-style ski-resort. More than their revered fired chief, Bales is their witty savant, gourmet cook and chivalrous bachelor who rescues cats from trees and naked damsels locked out of their homes. He's also tough. Bales won't tolerate jokes about his nose. In the movie's opening scenes, the fire chief encounters two soused jocks who make sport of his nose. Cyrano used the sword, but Bales uses his tennis racket in a mock sword-fight against ski poles to make short work of the louts. He's aware of his superiority and all that stands between C.D. Bales and perfeetion, is his, humdinger of a proboscis. He yearns for a nose like Diana Ross's but can't have a nose job because he's a bleeder. Meets His Equal When he meets Roxanne Kowalski, a visiting astronomer who's searching the skies for a new comet, he knows he’s met his equal. She's not just beautiful, she's intelligent and poetic and, like him, has a disparaging wit that doesn’t suffer fools gladly. In this classic triangle, she falls for the GQ-handsome Chris (Rick Rossovitch) a professional firefighter imported by C.D. to shape up the volunteers. But Chris is a simple tongue-tied bumbler who gets panic-stricken at the thought of talking to someone like Roxanne. C.D. becomes the go-between in this romantic mismatch and ghostwrites a rapturous series letter for Chris to Roxanne in which he’s really talking about his own feelings for her. The movie's big visual gag is the volunteer fire department. Working with comic actors like Michael J. Pollard and Canadian Steve Mittleman as the volunteers, Schepisi has constructed delightful comic sequences that recall the Marx brothers at their most gracefully inept. chairman of the NEC Council, made a submission to the ding C i on Ci and Culture which P d “overwhelming evid that NECs are one of the most successful programs sponsored by the federal government,” the NEC says in a prepared release.

Dr. Monty Arnott made the suggestion during a presentation to the hospital board's annual meeting about the effects of second hand to- bacco smoke. Arnott suggested the board create a second cafe- teria for smokers. He pointed out that Trail Regional Hos- pital has adopted a smoke- free policy. However, some board members suggested the move might be too costly. In other board news, use of the intensive care unit jump- ed by 37 per cent in 1986, from 414 patient days in 1985 to 657 patient days in 1986. And the number of intensive care patients was up 69 to 263.

The auxiliary has 45 active and two honorary members. On July 15, the auxiliary will mark 30 years of service. “Plans are underway to commemorate this occasion with a special function in September,” Wilson added. “unfortunate.” “However, it is the reality of the times we live in,” she states, “and I am encouraged by the fact that where once the NEC program could be rejected out-of-hai being accorded the recognition we deserve.” Buxton funeral service Friday Howard Leslie Buxton of Castlegar passed away Tues- day, June 23 at age 73.
