LAST WEEK I scooped the news that our town’s stellar star rocker, Bryan Adams, was No. 1 in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

JOY TELLS ALL

The news today is that Bryan's new hit single, Everything I Do, i Do it For You! is holding fast at the very top of the music charts.

. It’s outselling the No. 2 and No. 3 songs combined!

The North Vancouver native is only the fourth Canadian to have a No. | single in Britain. First was Paul Anka with Diana in 1957. Second was West Van's Terry Jacks with Seasons in the Sun ir 1974, Third was J.J. Barry in 1976 with No Charge.

Bryan has sold more than 200,000 copies of Everything i Do and has been certified silver for British sales. Sales soared again after he made a very special ap- pearance on the BBC-TV network on their highly-rated Top of the Pops show last Wednesday.

The only thing that did not go swimmingly for the brush-cut ar- tist is that his long romance with Miss Vicky seems to have cooled. He has apparently put the affair on the back burner while he com- pletes his latest album, Wakin’ Up The Neighbors, which is slated for release in September.

The rest of the entertainment news is that Bryan will be flying home in early August to headline Music ’91’s Roadshow weekend on Saturday, Aug. 10 in Revelstoke! He'll perform out- doors in Revelstoke's Centennial

September...

One of the things that you ab- solutely must do this summer is take in the Theatre Under the Stars production of The Music Man and Guys and Dolls. They are marvellous, well-directed pro- ductions with first-rate casts ... Altamont’s Maureen Goulet hosted a fun evening of cooking classes with super cook, North Van’s executive chef of the Four Seasons Hotel, Wolfgang Von Wieser. Wolfgang was displaying his prowess with summer salads and barbecue ideas...

Last Wednesday it was up up and away to the top of the moun- tain for some 220 of Variety Club’s special kids. They were whisked up for a fun picnic of hot dogs, drinks, ice cream, face painting, clowns and lots of enter- tainment, hosted by the Grouse Mountain folk ... Cheers!
