Castlegar By INA WARREN The Canadian Press Lugging around a dummy sure sounds like a dumb way to drum up movie publicity, but it seems to work Outdoors the sun was shining while inside a dozen Montreal media types gathered to have a power lunch with a dummy named Bernie. That's Bernie as in Weekend at Bernie's, the new 20th Century-Fox comedy starring brat-packers Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silver and Canadian actress Catherine Mary Stewart Directed by Ted Kotcheff, another Canadian, it's an outrageous black comedy about two young insurance adjusters who have uncovered a giant fraud scheme They're invited for the weekend to the luxurious beach house of their boss Bernie, who turns out to be dead. Realizing that they’re next on the mob’s hit list, they go through with the party weekend pretending that Ber nie has just passed out In the movie, Bernie is played by standup comedian Terry Kiser, but the Bernie that's on the road meeting the media is a lifelike dummy made by a California special effects company, Filmtrix. WITH BERNIE The dummy’s so-lifelike that travellers at Toronto's Pearson airport were aghast (o see Bernie going feet first through the security conveyer belt normally reser ved for carry-on luggage “What is that woman doing to that man, shocked onlooker Once strapped into a seat aboard the plane, however, things picked up considerably for Bernie. Air Canada flight attendants flirted outrageously with him it's probably Bernie's California tan, and * smirk Once in Montreal, Bernie was whisked off to his room at the posh Ritz-Carlton Hotel in a wheelchair. ‘Park him right ther ordered Fox publicist Heather MacGillivray, pointing toa dark nook Does Bernie always share her hotel room? '*Yes,"* admits MacGillivray with a shudder. *‘lt was really creepy. I couldn't see him from my bed, but just knowing he was there was enough."’ HAS A DOUBLE Nobody’s quite sure who the bright light was at Fox who thought up what’s being called The Dead Bernie asked one mirror-reflector shades, show a gal a good time” Dummy makes smart publicity Tour across Canada and the United States. But the job of making the two Bernies — one for Canada and one for the United States — went to Film- trix, Headed by special effets supervisor Kevin Pike, the six-year-old company has put the special touch on numerous movies including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Last Starfighter, Back to the Future and Return of the Jedi “We do all kinds of special effects," “‘whether they're mechanical-action props, electronics, wind, rain, fire, snow, pyrotechnics, bullet hits, gory monsters, spiders from Mars and also, we do live-casts of people “So when Fox approached tis, we said we'd be happy to do the Bernies,”” added Pike in a telephone interview from his North Hollywood studio. ‘We've done a lot of things with articulated dummies in the past.”” CAST FROM ACTOR Is Bernie articulated? Pike explains: ** Bernie is articulated, but-he's not motorized. Bernie is a possible dummy. Essentially, it's a life-casted head that’s been'taken right off the actor's face and then various moulds have been made.”” Making the moulds takes-about two hours, and Pike claims that having your head encased in latex is un. comfortable as opposed to painful “You have a sense of being at the whim of someone else, it’s a very humbling experience,” concedes Pike, company has done live-casts of Hollywood's biggest recording and movie stars. Bernie's skin texture and tone — which bear the treadmarks of someone who has indulged.in too much sun.and booze — afe achieved by hand-painting the latex. says Pike, robots, whose some of The most disconcerting, and lifelike, aspect of Ber- nie is his smirk In the film, Bernie is bumped off with a fatal injec: tion of cocaine and dies with a smirk on his face. To achieve that effect on the dummy, Floutz asked actor Terry Kiser to sneer just as the latex mould began to set ‘ The focus of everything is how lifelike it looks,” says Pike.

Growing op- position to the proposed federal sales tax could force the federal government to drop the idea, one Progressive Con- servative MP has suggested. 1 support changes in the federal tax, but you can't ram things down people's throats, said Howard Crosby, MP from the riding of Halifax West. “Eventually, if those reactions overwhelm us, I don't think we want to jump over the cliff to save or im- prove the manufacturers sales tax. At_ least Idon’t,”* Crosby said. Heand other Tory MPs admitted on their way to @ party caucus meeting that the federal government will have a tough job selling the new sales tax to voters. The new sales tax.was expected to be discussed at the caucus meeting and at acabinet meeting. Finance Minister Michael Wilson has said the new tax, replacing the manufacturers sales, will be implemen. ted on Jan. 1, 1991, The new sales tax Cominco earnings up VANCOUVER (CP) — Higher prices for zinc, copper and fertilizers have boosted Cominco’s unaudited consolidated earnings to $141.3 million or $1.74 a share for the six months ended June 30, the mining company has reported. That compares with $78.5 million or 91 cents a share for the corresponding period in 1988. The V: based company, compared with $150.9 million in the first half of 1988. Sales rose $94.5 million to $671.7 million. “The significant increase in revenues and earnings resulted from improved prices for zinc and copper over last year’s levels,’’ the company said ina news release. “For the six months, North which has its major lead-zinc smelting facility in Trail, said the mining and in- tegrated metals division had a pretax operating profit of $241.6 million B.C. American zinc prices have averaged 34 cents US a pound higher than last year’s levels while the London Metals Exchange price for copper averaged 26.5 cents US\a pound higher.” Hydro cr The gains, however, were partially offset by decreased sales volumes of zinc and lead concentrates from Cominco's Polaris and Pine Point mines. Operating profit for fertilizers in the second quarter rose to $31 million from $22.1 million for the first quarter of 1988. As well, the higher value of the Canadian dollar, up to 84 cents from 79 cents last year against its U.S. coun terpart, cut operating profit by $23.6 million acks U.S. power market VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C Hydro’s recently created power- exporting subsidiary isin the process of finalizing its first firm power contract with a California utility The B.C, Power Export Cor- poration is putting the finishing touches on an $8.8-million power sale to Sacramento Municipal Utility District to supply 150 megawatts of firm power between Sept. | and Dec. 31. The B.C. corporation, known as Powerex, is a Hydro subsidiary for med last year. “This is a prime-the-pump contract, which we hope will lead to more firm contract sales in the U.S. Northwest and California,” said Ken Epp, Powerex’s vice-president of operations. It’s also the first firm contract that British Columbia has been able to Placer to build huge VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver- based Placer Dome Inc. said it will Start construction of the largest Precious metals mine in the Western hemisphere. The $350-million development of the La Coipa mine in northern Chile will consolidate Placer Dome's position as the biggest North America- based gold producer and the world’s largest outside of South Africa. Last December, Placer Dome acquired a 50-per-cent operating in- terest in La Coipa for $63 million from Consolidated TVX Mining Corp. of Toronto. Placer Dome in turn has a 7.7-per- cent stake in Consolidated TVX In a joint statement, Placer Dome Mine may reopen REVELSTOKE (CP) — Noranda Minerals Ltd. has sold its abandoned Goldstream Copper Mine to Golden Nevada Resources and Bethlehem Resources Ltd John Ivany, Golden Nevada president, declined to reveal the sale price. He said the companies can now focus on raising $10 million needed to reopen the mine for production If they raise the capital by the fall, the mine could reopen by the end of the year, Ivany said. Noranda closed the mine, near Revelstoke, in 1984 because of falling copper prices. But Ivany said rising world prices now make it profitable for small companies. “At anything over $1 U.S. (a pound) it (the mine) makes money,” he said. “At $1.10 it makes a pretty good profit.” Feasibility studies indicated a mine life of six years with production of 1,000 tonnes of copper a day. The mine could create jobs for up to 120 people Revelstoke, in southern British Columbia, has a population of about 8,000 people ° and Consolidated TVX said construc- tion will be completed in the first half of 1991 Peak production will occur during the first two years with an anticipated output of 200,000 ounces of gold and 16 million ounces of silver a year Over the mine’s 13-year life, it will produce 2.1 million ounces of gold and 142.9 million ounces of silver. The new mine is conditional on the approval of a foreign investment con- tract by the Foreign Investment Com- mittee of the Chilean government It’s the second major new gold mine development by Placer Dome in the last few months.

Until now all B.C. power export sales to the United States have been on a“ rather than firm basis.
