week tour of the continent that begins in Munich on:

directors decided Monday to. fold the two-year-old
venture when its current production, Cloud 9, ends
May 31, ‘

Canadian marathon triumphs |

Seven years ago, when
he was 30 and a two-pack-
adlay man, a skeptical
Dave Biaikle Inced on a
pair ‘of running shoés and
started jogging.

Since then, the reformed
smoker has run six
marathons and countless
smaller races for the fun of
it,

He jogs when he can, -

travels far and wide to run,
or simply attends races,
and reads voraciously on
related topics, _ ;

Blaikie is, by no means,
a speedster. A nine-
minute-mile pace suits him
fine, the journey alone is
his whitewater, the finish
line his Everest summit.
He has become, in short, a
born-again jogger.

A few years ago, the
Ottawa reporter for The
Canadian Press combined
his journalism skills with
his new-found passion.
Now, he writes a lively
column for the otherwise-
clinical Canadian Runner
Magazine  — and is
recognized as somewhat of
an authority on the sub-
ject. -

During one of his runs

alongside the Rideau
Canal. — arguably the
country’s finest footpath —
Blaikie declded to take his
monthly. column forward
by a quantum leap and
look into the Canadian

story behind one of the the
world’s most ~ famous
races, the Boston
Marathon.
ONE IN FIVE

Eleven Canadians have
won Boston, three of them
more than once — an,
average of one Canadian
winner every five years.
Apart, from. newspaper
accounts, though, litte has
been written here or
abroad about this sporting
phenomenon,

In the strict sense,
Boston: The Canadian
Story is a series of 11

fastidiolsly © assembled
biographies, highlighted
by the victories over the 42-
kilometre (26.2-mile)

course. In a larger sense,
however, the profiles
encompass the history of
the Boston Marathon and
Canadian ' running Itself.

Blaikie briskly -and ’-ef-
fectively conveys the

Zany tunes”
label singer
a funny guy

The writer and singer of
Jeremiah Peabody's Poly-
unsaturated Quick-diss-
olving Fast-acting
Pleasant-tasting Green
and Purple Pills is also the
writer and singer of The
Streak, which has sold
more than five million
records; Everything is
Beautiful, which wonhim a
Grammy award, and Ahab
the Arab, Bridget the
Midget, Shriner's . Con-
vention, Mr. Businessman
and on and on, ;

The writer-singer is Ray

. Stevens, and with such
diverse talent this .artist
should be able to write
(and sing) his own ticket
on to the charts with both
zany, off-the-wall ‘songs
and philosophically sound,
serious songs.

No way. Ray Stevens's
style is based in country
music, and in country,
once fans decide what your
style is, that’s it for life,

“I’ve been typecast over
the years as a funny guy, a
guy who writes and sings
funny songs,” Stevens
says. “And although I’ve
had success with serious
songs, I've had much more
success with comedy
numbers, and I think the
majority of people think of
Mme as a comedy singer."

.The Georgia native is
much more than that. He is
multi-talented, ard not
only writes and sings about
various subjects, but often
arranges and plays most of
the instruments at his
recording sessions,

GARNER APPROVED
Besides’ winning a
Grammy for Everything is
Beautiful, he also won one
for his arrangement of

Errol Garner's Misty, He

says the late jazz pianist
loved the fresh
alrangement of the
beautiful, lilting ballad.
