JUST LEARNED some
very upsetting news about
longtime North Shore resi-
dent and veteran journalist,
Cloudesley S.Q. Hoodspith.

Cloudesley has been involved in
newspaper ownership and col-
umn-writing for as long as | can
remember. He was the owner and
publisher of the Lions Gate Times
and he wrote 2 newsy column in
the old Citizen, but his base of
operations right now is
Squamish-Whistler where he
publishes The Citizen.

The bads news is thar
Cloudesley was badly injured in a
car accident, a head-on callision,
in fact, on the dreaded Squaniish
Highway during terrible driving
conditions on Jan. 11. He had to
be cut out of the car by the Ja‘vs
of Life. Since that time, he has
been in intensive care in Lions
Gate Hospital.

His injuries were severe and his
family is hoping and praying that
he’ll recover very soon. We all do!
The good news is he is beginning
to recover and is now able to have
visitors. I really miss that cheeky,
irreverent, kooky little guy! Do
get well soon, Cloudestley! ~

COCKTAILS & CAVIAR

ft was quite a celebration to
mark the Unicorn Restaurant’s
fifth birthday party and launch of
their $750,000 renovations.
renovations so well done with the
creative flair of Jon Sunderland
and his Sunderland Jnnerspace
design.

The place was packed with
happy party-goers. Highlight of
the evening was the presentation
of Unicorn Appreciation plaques
by the Irish Rovers’ Les Weinstein
to diplomat and former Expo
Commissioner General Patrick
Reid. to the Properties Expoman,
Jimmy Pattison, who was in New
York that nighi and whose right-
hand person, Mzureen Chant, ac-
cepted the honor for him,
CKNW's V.P. of Marketing, John
Plul, and MLA Grace McCarthy,
who was in a white Mr. Jax suit
accented with a bright green silk
scarf.

It was Grace who turned the
tables on Les when she presented
him with another plaque with the
provincial crest upon it, in praise
of the Unicorn folk for all their
support to the province and the
hospitality industry.

Special guests of the McCarthys
at the do were the former premier
of Manitoba, Sterling Lyon and
his wife, Barbara ...

JIMMY PATTISON... received a
Unicorn appreciation plaque.

Still along name-dropping row,
some of the other big names at
the Tribute to Jack Davis last
week at the Hyatt, besides his
wife, Margaret, and his family,
were the Premier and Mrs. Vander
Zalm, former North Shore resi-
dent Roberta Kelly, Barbara and
Sen. Ray Perrault, Yvonne and
MLA John Reynolds, and Jack's
longtime friend from Ottawa, the
former Liberal Agriculture
Minister and the man in the green
cowboy hat. Eugene Whelan!

It was quite an evening for a
very deserving, dedicated and car-
ing human being. Pat on the back
to the indefatigable organizer,
Sheila Plum ...

Eugene, who owns his own
consultancy business, stayed in
town for meetings in Victoria and
in Vancouver and was spotted
~.andering around the vast ex-
panse of Viva ‘91 at the VT&CC
on Friday afternoon.

Naturally he was wearing his
distinctive headgear, and it was
amazing to see how people
recognized him right away! ...

It was the 25th annual Athlete
of the Year awards banquet at the
Hyatt last Saturday night.

More than 760 guests were in
the audience, including Lt.-Gov.
David Lam, Ministers Rita
Johnston, Russ Fraser and Lyall
Hanson, MLAs Emery Barnes and
Angus Ree, and Brian Peewek,
the very new President of Over-
waitea-Save-On-Foods.

Brian has just taken over from
former boss, Ted Townsend. This
was his first social appearance in
his new position.

Highlight of the Silver Anniver-
sary sports award ceremony was
the presentation of a very special
award — the Best Athlete of the
Quarter Century. And the big
winner was North Van resident
and Olympic skating star, Karen
Magnussen!

And the owner, I might add, of
Maggie's Muffins in West Van.
Congratulations!

Pete Newell of Squamish was
pretty estatic earlier this week.
Peter works as a tinsmith for
Squamish Heating and he loves
ears. He buys chances on them all
the time.

SEN. RAY PERRAULT... among
the dignitaries at the tribute to
Jack Davis.

In facet, he had bought three
tickets on the Vancouver
Playhouse’s Jeep Renegade Lot-
tery. Sunday afternoon his name
was drawn at the close of the
Playhouse Wine Festival.

His top prize is a bright red,
§23.000, soft-top Jeep Renegade!
He and his wife, Dona, and their
baby, Brian, happily drove into
Vancouver on Tuesday to collect
his prize...

And the Playhouse people are
very happy as well! The net reve-
nue from this year’s Wine Festival
is estimated to be more than
$136,000! ...

The biggest winners in the Great
Caesar contest over three nights
Jast week at Viva °91, were, of
course, the kids at Children’s
Hospital, who received the pro-
ceeds.

The biggest losers were the folks
in the front row on Saturday night

when U-TV’s Douglas Miller of
