She'll be in town to headline
the mystery movie, Season of
Fear, foc Michael Rhodes’ 10.4
Productions out of Los Angeles,
which will be done out of the
North Shore Film Studios.

Michael and his crew were the
people injured in that plane crash
in Comox, and filming was
delayed until this week.

The little sidebar on this story is
that Michael is the ex-husband of
PR lady Niaa Rhodes, who’s the
happy spark plug behind the
North Shore News/
Heatherington's-sponsored annual
fashion event with lifestyle guru,
Robert Pante.

The rest of the news from bub-
bly Nina is that she and her
fiance, David Hughes, will tie the
knot officially in a wedding in
Stanley Park’s Rose garden in late
July.

Nina’s latest project was
‘*Ciamentine’s Day,”’ a pro-
gressive dinner that she organized
to promote two of Bud Kanke’s
restaurants and to introduce his
latest venture.

Bud Kanke, Robert Lasince and
chef Regis Chung were our hosts
at this unique affair where we
travelled by Greyline bus from
one restaurant to another.

We began at the prize-winning
Cannery Restaurant on the water-
front on Commissioner for hors
d’oeuvre and wine and a look ai

cookbook that also contains a
well-written history of B.C.'s fish-

Our hostess, Dotty Kanke, was

vivacious as ever!

Bud squeezed into his very ight
shirt and trousers and the same
platform shoes that he wore when
he opened the Cannery in 1971.

Then it was off to the very-in
Joe Fortes, which has become one
of the hot meeting places, where
we enjoyed more food and fun,
and I had my first and probably
last martini!

We were all given lottery tick-
ets, pearl-breeding oysters and
disposable cameras, in order to
capture the most incriminating
moments. Our Timothy Renshaw
and his missus were featured
prominently.

Then it was on the bus where
we were entertained by the
TheatreSports actors for a drive
into Stanley Park for the cfficial
opening dinner party for Bud's
new Fish House.

We were treated to a great
four-course meal — lobster, crab
and shrimp salad, clam chowder,

Ironically, it was just two hours
after Nina returned home trium-

that it was her ex-husband, film

was seriously injured in that plane

and former Province columnist,
Himie Koshevoy, will be a guest
of Vancouver General Hospital
for the next little while.

Himie had heart bypass surgery
several years ago at VGH and he
recently began to have some leak-
ing problems so he checked with
his surgeon who promptly hospi-
talized him.

I always remember Himie's
puns after the first go-round of
operations when he learned that
he was to receive the valve of a
pig. He just knew that from then
on, he’d be using pen and oink
and getting urges to roll around in
the mud!

He's a fine gentleman, an op-
timistic treasure and I hope he’s
feeling better soon! Drop hima

The North Shore was well-
represented by leading

They were with their good
