The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 14, 1979 15 ROCK AND ROLL Canadian album came out in MACHINATIONS 1976 and bath sides cansisted By Jim Francis of fast paced but unimpressive The rock concert held at rock and roll. By the time Oshawa's Civic Auditorium on their second album, Positively February 3rd was anything Hunan - Relatively Sane, but civilized. People weighing came aut, late last year, they less than 120 lbs. were quite had gone through a directional literally swept off their feet in metamarphosis. Their set at the mad rush through the the Civic had none of the doors. - material from the first album The dhow started with and was verging on blues Wireless, a quartet with its rock. Despite a poormix they roots in Australia. Their first were rather uplifting. They came on stage only five minutes late, 25 minutes before anyone expected them. Hellfield took the stage a mere twenty minutes after Wireless left. This second break with tradition was the last thing they did right. All five members wore very macho black leather outfits. The outfits were wrinkled. Mitch Hellfield, the lead singer of the band also wore a pair of "cute" silver boots Today's Woman by Beverley Martin with very high heels and pointed toes, The sangs, writ- ten by Mr. Hellfield himself, were unrelentlessly average. The bass player knew precise- ly three notes, or else he was keeping his expertise a secret. The guitarist showed a bit more flare but not much; bar chords were the order of the evening. The drummer went almost completely unnoticed. The only point in favour of the group was a competent key- oard player who doubled as a guitarist. He was not, however, enough ta save the show. Compared ta the first two bands, the headliners, Triumph, were pathetically slow in starting their show; but when the show did start it was with a bang. Vocalist- guitarist Rik Emmett came storming on stage to the sound of 'The War March' from Triumph's second album Rock + Roll Machine. As the tape of 'The War March' finished, a mammoth flashpot went off and Emmett's guitar burst into the opening of "What's Another Day of Rock n' Roll from the first Triumph album. Drummer vocalist Gil Moore and bassist Mike Levine joined him onstage and the rock didn't stop till the lights went up. This year's show diffeted from Triumph's last appearance at the Civic in a number of ways. Gil Moore and Mike Levine were given time for solos. Neither one was overly interesting, but they did try hard. Rik Emmett's solos are a different story. His playing technique in the group has not improved noticeably but his use of feedback, footpedals and ail of the other soundbend- ing techniques used by electric guitarists has come a long way. The light show has also improved. Triumph has always been a band known for its use of. pyrotechnics but the light show this year was especially professional. Tim- ing and selection can be as effective as volume in grasp- ing and focusing attention. This advance, as much as anything, was responsible for turning an average rock show into a performance that was both joyously deafening and ecstatically blinding. EXCITEMENT TIMES THREE By Cathy Denny Bowmanville High School hosted another series of basketball games, this time to Paul Dwyer High School. All three teams, midget, junior, and senior, played excep- tionally well. The junior team played against Paul Dwyer at 2:30 p.m. Unfortunately the majority of the students had classes to attend thus missing an excellent basketball game. The junior team made a great performance despite their lack of audience. Todd Hooper was the high scorer of the game with 27 points, with Paul Cooke scoring a good 9, and Paul Roughly and Doug Dilling tying with 8 points each. The game was in B.H.S.' favour and stayed that way for the remainder of the game. Both teams played well although B.H.S. dominated the final score which was B.H.S. 70 - and Dywer - 48. The B.H.S. junior boys' team now has a league standing of 3 - 4, which is the best standing out. of the three teams (midget, senior, junior). The midget boys were the next to compete with Dwyer. Dana Peebles of the B.H.S. team started the game off by scoring a basket in the first two minutes of the game. The scores climbed to 5 points for Dwyer and il points for B.H.S. Dwyer's defence was well organized which the final score of the game proved to be to their advantage. Dana Peebles and Hugh Francis played well. Towards the end of the game, Dwyer's organiz- ed defense paid off. Despite their efforts the B.H.S team was defeated with the close score of 33 to 31. Last and unfortunately least the B.H.S. senior team was ready to play. Knowing full well that this game against Dwyer could cost them all hope of being in the finals, Bowmanville fought (rather played) hard to defeat their worthy opponents. Although Dwyer doubled B.H.S. in points, B.H.S. put up a good fight. After a long tough first half' B.H.S. managed to slip in a basket, the first one of the second half. Dwyer was still holding the lead by over 20 points. Wayde Preston got two fouI shots, although this closed up the gap between Dwyer and B.H.S. a bit, the score was still greatly in Dwyer's favour. Knocking Wayde Preston to the floor Dwyer got a basket. B.H.S. cancelled out this basket with a long shot from Grady Robson. Tension was building up between the players as well as the audience watching them. The senior team of B.H.S. was unmercifully defeated by Dwyer, with the final score of 61-44. The B.H.S. seniors came in the game with a league standing of 0 - 6 and came out with a standing of 0 - 7. Better luck next time, seniors! Hollingshead Strike Ends The end to a five day strike by R.M. Hollingshead Com- pany workers came last Friday about 8:00 p.m. when an agreement was ratified by 21 striking employees. The old contract expired December 1, 1978, and Friday's settlement ended the first strike in the firm's 52- year history. The three-year agreement guarantees hourly rate in- creases of 50 cents in the first year and 55 cents in each of the two following years. Average hourly rate in year three of the contract will be $6.15. Bud Mutimer, business agent from Teamster's Local 380, said the original offer from the company was $1 to be given in six-month increments over a two year period. Compared with the union's original demand that most of the increase be given im- mediately, the original offer was calculated to be $520 less per employee. Several safety issues were resolved and job security from lay-offs was improved.

They're cut on the bias. Hair is like a fabric. It moves, flows, swirls. Now, what fashion designers do for cloths, Redken's Hair Fashion Innovator and Designer Rob Kipper does for hair. Rob has created the exclusive, extraor- dinary Bias Cut. A cut with maximum styling versatility, to turn hair into a true fashion ac- cessory. Traditionally, fashion dictated the season's hairstyle. If it didn't look good on some people, they were sim- ply left out. In fact, a lot of people were left out. Now, with the Bias Cut, a woman can wear as many as four or five different styles, which iever suit her best, and ail are in fashion. The Bias Cut can be modified, as needed simply by changing the length. The ideal length for greatest versatility is shoulder skimming, but many effects can also be achieved on shorter lengths. Styles with the Bias Cut can be curly, sleek, casual, or formai, and ail on the same head. The Bias Cut was in- troduced to us in Los Angeles at the 1979 In- ternational Seminar. These pictures show the basic style and a few simple ways of changing the look. Ed's note - in last week's column two mistakes were made. The first one should have read "Sunday afternoon we were honored with a sneak preview of New York's Spring Fashions, a collection of six designers", not six designs. And the other paragraph, "the costume designer Bob Mackie who designs costumes worn by Cher and Carol Burnett", not Chris and Carol Bur- nett. Our apologies. -el
