“And the one that was

plains. “It was so bad, done
by absolute amateurs.”

This time, MacLennan is
convinced his work is in pro-
fessional hands. Neptune
Theatre's artistic director,
Richard Ouzounian, is plan
ning to stage Barometer
Rising at the downtown
theatre this fall.

“I think he's one of the
best artistic directors in the
country,” says MacLennan,
80, often called the father of
the modern Canadian novel.

“He followed the text very
closely,” he says, lighting a
cigarette with trembling.
hands. “I hadn't read that
book for years. It's a lot
better than I thought it was.”

In Halifax. recently to
check out the script, Mac.
Lennan recalls the explosion
of 1917 — the event at the
centre of Barometer Rising
— which claimed 2,000 lives
and laid waste to gn entire
section of the city.

MacLennan was a lad of 10
getting ready for school
when a munitions ship —
with barrels of flammable
benzol lashed to its deck and
its holds packed with tonnes
of TNT — collided with a
freighter.

“We used to wear bare
knees then, and I'd been
washing my knees when
there was a terrific shaking
of the whole house,” he says
between sips of soda water
and a drag on his cigarette.

“Well, about two minutes
later the blast struck, every-
thing jumped in, the walls
came in. Three steps further
ahead and [I'd have been
killed, the window would
have knocked me out com-
pletely.”

Those vivid boyhood mem-
ories led to publication of his
first novel, Barometer Ris-
ing, in 1941.

On Nov. 6, Neptune will
give the premiere of the first
stage version of the novel
which essentially tells of a
youthful Canada coming of
age.
MacLennan'’s father, a doc-
tor working in a Halifax
hospital during the blast, was
equally lucky to have sur-
vived thanks to the instine-
tive response of soldiers just
back from overseas.

“He said that when this
great blast came, like an
earthquake, every soldier in
his bed knew what that
meant — that an ammunition
dump had gone up,” says
MacLennan, a masterful
story-teller.

MacLennan, whose trips to
his native Nova Scotia have
been frequent since moving
to Montreal 52 years ago, has
spent the last few years
writing his memoirs.

HOLLY NEAR
SINGS WITH
‘EYES OPEN’

By JIM MORRIS

WINNIPEG — With beliefs rooted in the flower.
child generation of the 1960s, Holly Near has spent 15
years as a social activist, travelling the world singing
against war, hate and discrimination.

But in the end, has it made any difference?

“I don't believe you ever come to the end of it,”'the
red-haired, freckled Near said recently.

“Struggling to make this planet a place to live is a
full-time, life-long choice. You're either going to be part of
the people who close their eyes, or part of the people who
don’t.”

Then Near flashed a wide, warm grin.

“I find it more exciting to keep my eyes open. You
get into trouble, but in exchange for that you meet the
grestest people, hear the best music, visit the most

exciting communities and have the best lovers.”

Lovers, friendship and good times are all themes
prevalent in Near's latest album, Don't Hold Back. The
record is a more pop-orientated, mainstream effort than
her previous 12 records, but Near said she’s not afraid of
being accused of selling out for commercial success.

“I didn't go through some transformation and decide
that social change is for for the birds and that capitalism,
money, getting rich and stretch limousines are where it's
at,” said the native of Potter Valley, a farming
community in northern California.

NORMAL PEOPLE

“What this record says is people who protest a
nuclear power plant in-their backyard also go to the
movies, also go to picnics, make love, have kids. We are a
diverse people. If on one record I'm singing fairly serious
songs, it’s not out of character to do a party, love-song
album.

Initially influenced by her parent's ideals and love of
music, Near began performing in school plays, at
community teas and weddings. Her musical appetite was
fed by country, broadway, jazz and labor music.

She studied acting at UCLA and eventually worked
with directors like John Cassavettes in Minnie Moskowitz
and George Hill in Slaughter House Five. She then landed
a role in the Broadway production of Hair.

All that was interspersed with television ap-
pearances in Room 222, The Bold Ones and The Partridge
Family.

The sometimes trite television shows didn’t diminish
Near's strong believe in social change. In 1971 she joined
Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland in Free The Army, an
antiwar show that entertained American soldiers in Asia.

Through the years she has travelled around the
United States and Europe, singing in support of gay
rights, denouncing nuclear power, speaking against
oppression in Chile and questioning American involve-
ment in Central America,

STARTS COMPANY

Concerned her songs would never be recorded, Near
started her own record company in the early 70s when
she was only 23 years old: The company has sold 400,000
copies of Near's solo albums and has expanded to repre-
sent a dozen artists, including Sweet Honey in the Rock,
Ronnie Gilbert and Ferron.

Cynics accuse Near of still living the dreams of the
1960s, when realism was often a victim of idealism. She
shrugs off the suggestion.

“We get a sort of decade mania here,” she said,
adding much of the activism people associate with the
"60s didn't actually start until 1967 and went to about
1975.

station. The contract to move the old building to its

By CasNews Staff

A Kelowna firm has won the contract to move the
historic CP Rail station, despite the fact the company's
price is nearly twice that of the lowest bid.

Castlegar council Tuesday awarded the contract to
Interior Building Movers Ltd., which submitted a bid of
$12,000, $5,000 below the estimated cost.

The bid was one of three submitted to the city.
Shuswap Building Movers Ltd. of Grindrod, B.C. sub-
mitted a bid of $6,500, while Nickel Bros. of New
Westminster submitted a bid of $15,000.

Ald. Carl Henne explained that engineering services
manager Kevin Lagan recommended council approve the
Interior bid because Shuswap Building is behind on its
Workers’ Compensation Board dues.

However, Henne suggested council may want to take
another look at the bids in view of the $5,500 difference.

City administrator Dave Gairns pointed out that the
Grindrod company was telephoned half a dozen times to
see if it could supply more information, but never

Bernsen wants
to get married

NEW YORK (AP) — Cor-
bin Bernsen, who plays the
sleazy divorce lawyer on the
television show L.A. Law,
wants to get married. The
problem is, he hates to date.

“I know what I like and I
know what I don’t like,” the
33-year-old actor says in Gla-
mor magazine. “I've been
through two relationships
(actress Heather Thomas and
ex-wife Brepda Cooper)
where I loved one woman
five years at a time.

“Now, if I'm on a date and

my mind is saying, ‘You've to
to be kidding,’ I'd pay the
cheque and leave in the
middle of dinner if it weren't
rude.”

The woman he marries will
have to be intelligent, soc-
ially conscious, concerned,
drug free, like the outdoors,
and should have well-kept
fingernails.

Bernsen says good nails
are “usually a good sign of
people taking care of them-
selves — paint chipped off

Ald. Len Embree supported the Interior bid, saying
the move is a™fairly technical job” and the city would
want to have a “reputable, reliable contractor” under-
taking it.

Embree added that when the compensation pay-
ments arej,overdue, “it telle me that there's some
problems with the contractor.”

He also said that when there is such a
difference between the low bid and the next lowest bid it
“makes me a little leary.”

Ald. Nick Oglow, who initially suggested council
have a second look at the contract, agreed when he heard
that the low bidder had not responded to the city’s calls.

“We've been trying to notify him for about 10 days,”
said Ald. Patti Richards.

Oglow noted: “If he's not responding, then . . .”

Ald. Terry Rogers pointed out the city didn't “go to

have it possibly end up.‘a pile of firewood.’ ”

Chinese

interest

in Alberta mill

CALGARY (CP) — The
government is holding talks
with China to construct a
$200-million pulp mill in
northwestern Alberta, says
the province's agent-general
in Hong Kong.

Jack Kennedy said Tues-
day total investment in the
project could go as high as
$400 million if China also opts
for a paper mill.

The announcement comes
less than a week after the
province confirmed it is close
to a deal with North Ameri-
can investors to build a
$360-million newsprint mill.

The two projects would
help expand ,Alberta’s bil-

lion-dollar forest industry
and help diversify the econ-
omy.

Kennedy said no final
decision has been made on a
site for the Chinese project.
But he added both sides will
probably settle on the heav-
ily wooded area between
Hinton and Grande Prairie.

The newsprint mill, plan-
ned by a group that includes
Vancouver lawyer’ Ronald
Stern and several publishers,
is to be built near White-
court, 150 kilometres north-
west of Edmonton.

Stern has said he hopes to
close a deal with the province
in early October.
