16 Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 16, 1986

“Artist to perform |

Singer, songwriter
Connie Kaldor offered a
brief self-profile during a
break in a picture-taking
session for the jacket of
“Moonlight Grocery,’’
her soon-to-be-released
album.

“I’m not a drug ad-
dict. I’m not crazy. I’m
not young... I have a
strong family. I’m not
willing to sacrifice my
whole life to the music
business. If you don’t
have anything to say,
why say it?’’

She means to nurture a
whole life for herself —
not just a music life, not
just a performing life —
because she needs a
whole life from which to
draw the songs that
speak to the whole lives
of the people who listen
and watch.

‘‘When you see
something special, it
makes you want to live,”’
Kaldor said. ‘‘That’s
what I want to do for
people. 1 want people to
feel what I feel. I want
people to feel like living.
That’s my raison d’etre.
But you've gotta be good
to do that.”

Movie to

TERRACE — Fritz
Lang’s ‘‘Metropolis’’
was the film shown at the
last meeting of the Reel
World Society.

Terrace Movie Reviewer

Georgio Moroder has
put together the cut ver-
sion shown in America in
the Twenties with sec-
tions of film and stills
that have been
discovered more recent-
ly. He added color, a
sound track, and title
cards so that the story
outline was more defined

David
Suzuki
to speak

The board of School
District 88 was informed
at the April 8 meeting
that nationally-known
scientist Dr. David
Suzuki will be coming to
Terrace on May 23. Dr.
Suzuki will speak to local
educators in the R.E.M.
Lee Theatre, and the
subject of his address
will be ‘‘Towards the
Year 2000 - the
Challenge for Educa-
tion’’,

Helen McAskill, Pro-
D chairman for the Ter-
race District Teachers
Association, indicated
that the lecture will be
restricted to education
personnel.

Kaldor is good. She
has found that precious
equilibrium between lik-
ing oneself sufficiently to
be productive and driv-
ing oneself sufficiently to
produce.

That equilibrium
yields a specific kind of
fear, one of the few fears
that is useful and
perhaps the only fear
that she would
acknowledge. It is a fear
of .the ordinary, the
predictable, the or-
thodox, the safe. ‘‘I
don’t want to settle into
a routine,’’ she said one
night, while steeping a
pot of herb tea. ‘‘That’ll
kill you.”’ -

Since there is incon-
trovertible evidence to
show that Kaldor is both
very alive and very
smart, she is also clearly
innocent of settling,
whether down, into, or
for. ‘I can go out and do
a safe set that will rope
them all in, or I can try
something and see how it
works,’’ she says. ‘“‘I
refuse to do something
ordinary. There’s
enough people scram-
bling for the middle... or

be shown

readily available to a
contemporary audience.

The resulting film was
visually bold and potent,
its imagery generated a
style in art, architecture
and fashion. This
strength is still felt, over-
powering the negative ef-
fect of the outdated and
melodramatic acting
style.

The next showing by
the Reel Society will be
in the Library at-8 p.m.
on Thursday, April 17.
The film is ‘‘Mon Oncle
d’Amerique,’’ a produc-
tion by Alain Resnais —

best known for
‘Hiroshima Mon
Amour’’, He is one of

the group who started
the French New Wave.
In this film a doc-
tor/philosopher
describes action and
reaction as universal
animal/human things.

The doctor insists that -

women and men are ac-

countable to psychologi-
cal rules, but are they?

the bottom. I figure
there’s less competition
at the top.”’

She does rock ‘n’ roll
now, whenever the room
and. the crowd are ap-
propriate, and that’s
what her new album is,
too, the kind of rock‘n’
roll that is serious,
thoughtful and hilarious
by turns, and unpreten-
tious always. ‘‘I think
the album is very good,

and I’m really hard to .

please,’’ Kaldor says. “‘I
don’t know if it’s a help
or a hindrance, but I
am,”

One never hesitates to
believe her. Even the
briefest acquaintance
makes it clear that
Kaldor is likely to say.
anything, as long as it's
the truth. ‘‘I don’t view
it as saying goodbye (to
folk music),’’ Kaldor
says. ‘‘I view it as open-
ing up. I don’t want to
lose the . folk music
market. That’s where the
performers are, That's
where the music is. I’m

shaping my music, °

maybe, in a different
way, but I’m not doing
anything different. My
life has changed. People
are going to say it’s a
transition album because
the rock is done well, but
it’s still my personality
coming through.

‘“T think of myself asa
writer,’’ Kaldor says. “I
don’t know if other peo-
ple do. I think they think
of me as a performer. I
don’t have that mysti-
que. Maybe I’d have a
mystique if I shut up.’’
But, of course, she
doesn’t, and she won't.
She realized early on that
she had much to say, and
she says it, and sings it,
and plays it, and acts it,
and could probably
dance it, and — who
knows? — may some day
film it.

Neanderthals

Despite their backward, brut-
ish image, Neanderthals had big
brains that, on the average, were
even larger than modern man's

and just as well developed; Were

notsodifferent in body, although
distinctly more robust, with rather
short lower limbs; Were the first
people known to bury their dead.
They may have believedin spirits
and perhaps in an afterlife. Ina
number of the more famous
burials, stone tools and other
objects were carefully positioned
near the bodies.
