A “Shemp-a-thon” is also scheduled — a showing of some ob- scure films starring Shemp Howard after he left the Stooges. “In Louisiana, they showed a Shemp-a-thon and a lot of people showed up thinking it was a shrimp-a-thon,” said Gary Lassin, president of the 2,500-member Three Stooges Fan Club, the Lansdale- based sponsor of the three-day con. vention. “They have a lot of knuckle- heads down there.” Reighter said he expects about 1,500 people from as far away as the West Coast and Canada to join in the celebration of the face-slappi head-butting, prat-falling brand of slapstick and high jinks that made the Stooges famous The original Three Stooges, cre ated as foils for vaudeville comedian Ted Healy in the 1920s, were Morris (Moe) Horowitz, who later changed his name to Howard; his brother Samuel, or Shemp; and Philadelphia native Larry Fineberg, a.k.a. Fine. In the early '30s, Shemp left over a pay dispute and Moe's brother Jer ome, or Curly, joined the group, which split from Healy and shuffled off on its own to the tune of Three Blind Mice. Curly later became ill and was himself replaced by Shemp, who was succeeded by two other Stooges Joe Besser and Joe DeRita, the only surviving member of the comedy team Curly will live on this weekend in the likeness of David Knight a Pal myra, N.Y., construction worker who moonlights as an impersonator of the bald-headed, barking buffoon who was so often the butt of Moe's jokes I did a ‘nyuk, nyuk,’ and a couple of ‘woo woos’ and it just took off from there,” said Knight SETTING UP . . .

J Bullet SS 5AR_NEWS CASTLE 90 onawte 309) n Board give Japanese lovers of the Anne books a place to recreate their dreams of the tranquil, rural atmos phere of Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century. Japanese are quite familiar with Anne of Green Gables since most read the Anne books in school Many, especially younger women, carry the passion for Anne into well-organized fan clubs. The clubs centre on reading and rereading books by and about Montgomery, collecting pictures and souvenirs from Prince Edward Island and saving to travel to P.E.I. themselves. One fan, Emiko Mori, an office clerk in her 20s, says Japanese admire Anne because she is frank and spontaneous. “Those are things Japanese per haps find hard to be,” Mori said. “We are too afraid to be that way.” First brought to Japan in the 1920s, the Anne books have sold an estimated one million copies here. LIKE P.E.I. Project co-ordinator Jiro Oishi says organizers chose the Anne theme because of her widespread popularity and also because the Ashibetsu area is like Prince Edward Island — “The sunshine, the fields, it's farming country.” The $37:million theme park will be built jointly by the city of Ashibetsu on Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four major islands in Japan, the Japanese government and up to 15 private companies ” The group hopes to steer some of the growing amounts of money Jap anese are spending on leisure into Ashibetsu, a city of 30,000, that is still suffering from the closure sev eral years ago of its major industry, a coal mine. Although Oishi says the park will be mostly about Prince Edward Island, organizers are also working on plans for demonstrating other parts of Canada. They include a rec reation of the Crystal Garden in Vie toria, a Banff Kid Park which will be a petting zoo, and a small theatre reminiscent of the Stratford festival in Ontario. Ashibetsu is two hours by train from Sapporo, which is 90 minutes by air from Tokyo. The first phase of the project is slated for completion in May 1990.

About 3,500 people attended the three-day Voices of the Wilderness Festival near this small Fraser Can- yon community to protest proposed logging of the valley. Biologist David Suzuki and singer Gordon Lightfoot lead the list of luminaries who joined the crowd on a windswept field about 1.5 kil ometres from the Stein River for the fourth annual event. “We could set an example of great proportions if we could keep them from cutting down those trees over there (in the Stein Valley),” Light- food told the crowd before Sun- day evening concert. “We as Cana- dians should be able to set that example.” Lightfoot said he came on the invi- tation of Suzuki, a long-time advocate of preserving the Stein. The area is prized by environmentalists for its lush stands of first-growth forest and claimed by local Indian bands who consider the valley, with its ancient rock paintings, of spiritual impor. tance. JOIN CEREMONY Native elders invited early risers at the festival to join in the ancient sunrise ceremony. Many joined the spiritual circle to puff the long wooden pipes — filled with a secret mixture of sweet grass, sage, tobacco and a variety of leaves and plants. Napoleon Kruger of the Okanagan nation, his head ringed with swirling smoke, gave thanks for a new day and for the thousands of people gathered to support the natives’ ef- forts. “Anything that has to do with land and nature we are involved in,” Kruger, a Penticton resident, said following the ceremony. “It doesn't matter where we are from.” Suzuki took the stage immediately before Lightfood and stirred the crowd with a stinging condemnation of provincial forest management policy. “It’s the attitude of (B.C. Forest this land and sees profit . . . leave it alone because in the eyes of God it would be a waste,” said the scientist and host of CBC television's The Nature of Things. “To natives this is not just a property. This is home. This is where your ancestors are... and when you destroy this land you destroy these people.” SINGER PROUD Folk singer, Buffy St. Marie, a Cree Indian, said she was proud to see people of her race and “blended races” at the festival. “When I read about the premier of this province saying that he cannot let a handful of native people control what's going to happen to this valley — that’s going to blow away with the wind because it’s wrong,” St. Marie said. “This is more than just a few native people it’s a whole lot of people who want to preserve this area.” Other entertainers at the festival included the acappella group The Nylons, blues rocker Long John Bal dry, Roy Forbes (also known as Bim), Bill Henderson and a variety of native singers and dancers. Among the speakers: author M.T. Kelly, winner of the Governor Gen eral's Award, and Thomas Berger, former B.C. Supreme Court. Lee Lakeman of Vancouver said the festival energized her for future protests. “Tll be back up here anytime to stop logging and I'll bring 10 or 12 other people with me,” she promised. Festival organizer John McCan- dless was satisfied with this year's attendance, up about 1,500 over 1987 when access to the festival, held in the Stein Valley, was restricted to hikers.
