WESTAR BREAKS

PULP RECORD

The months of August was the most productive ever for the Westar’s Celgar pulp mill, with an average of 590 air-dry metric tonnes of pulp being produced every day, according to a mill spokes. man.

This topped the old record of 587 tonnes-per-day set in the May time period last year, said Merv Rush plant engineer.

The August 1984 month long time period — which ended last Friday — also set

closest being 570 tonnes pro- duced during August of 1983.

The cumulative total for this August was 16,126 ton- nes.

Rush said the record was set despite a 10-minute power outage at the mill Aug. 18, which translates into five hours of lost produc- tion time.

“We credit the coopera tion and hard work of every. one at the mill,” he said.

Toronto's ‘Now’ newspaper stable

TORONTO (CP) — Now newspaper — Toronto's an- swer to New York's Village Voice — has achieved finan- cial stability, but the weekly newspaper {s still struggling toward its lofty editorial goals.

When the news and enter. tainment guide first appear- ed on Toronto newsstands three years ago, it was at- tempting: te do something that has never been done successfully in the city — of. fer an altérnative weekly newspaper focused on popu lar culture.

The paper has precedents in such surviving leftish, cosmopolitam -weeklies as

them all, New York's Village Voice. But Canada’s biggest city hadn't managed to dup- licate the formula.

Now hesn’t managed to duplicate it, either. As a bus- iness organization, it is un- questionably a success, even though its 60,000 copies are distributed free through 800 outlets.

But Now's content, espec ially its news component, has not matched the goals set at the paper’s inception.

The paper started out in a preview issue heralding “an editorial blend unique to this city.” It promised “in-depth features about real people, covered with sensitivity, in sight and wit... All Now stories will be prepared by writers who'll spend many days, sometimes weeks, re searching, creating and pol ishing their work to appeal to the sensibility of Toronto's sophisticated young adults.”

dian centre, items culled from other media and some local election coverage), 11 pages of movie, theatre, rock and roll and fashion reviews ‘and profiles, three pages of things-to-do listings, and 13 pages of display and class- ified ads.

“We were the perfect people to do it,” says exe cutive editor Alice Klein, ta- king a break on production night to talk about Now's origins. “It's the kind of proj- ect that two kinds of very different people try

paper that would deal with the issues that people like us are interested in.”

Now's intentions proved difficult to live up to for the novice staff picked largely from publisher-editor Michael Hollett's friends fr- om York University.

Hollett, formerly editor of the Halton Hills Herald and other weeklies, was the only experienced member of the staff except for writer Ste phen Gaver, who had worked on the Barrie Examiner and the Ottawa Journal.

Gaver vividly recalis his initial enthusiasm for the venture: “I was excited by the idea of a weekly news paper with guts, the courage to take a stand, step on some toes and be irreverent.”

But his involvement tap ered off when money was not forthcoming and the editorial thrust of the paper failed to live up to its advance billing
