Here is some info on Blue Dog Pict, the band Keith White (Tim)
is in: The band is currently on hiatus, because Keram
Malicki-Sanchez (Johnny from "Catwalk") has formed a
new band called Ribcage, which is based in California. I've heard
(but don't quote me on it) that Keram will be coming back to T.O.
in December, and I hope that means Blue Dog Pict will play again,
because they are an AMAZING band. I have all their CD's and
cassettes, and I've seen them play live twice. They put on
terrific shows, and Keith White is an amazing bassist.

I was watching "Traders" on CBC this week, and I swear an actress on the show is the same woman whom use to play the role of Michelle on Degrassi. I sent a similar e-mail to Sharon@Degrassi.org., but have not yet received a response. Did anyone else see this actress? She looked a little different, but had the same facial expressions. Unfortunately, the car she got into at the end of the show exploded. So I doubt we will see her again. Please, someone tell me if this was her. Thanks.
Russ
*Mark* I am sorry but I do not watch Traders. I know Maureen
McKay is a lawyer, and married. If anyone knows if she is acting,
please post :-)

Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delay in answering you,... I only work on a part time basis and just got your e-mails this morning. I was unfortunately mistaken about where information on your website had appeared. A colleague of mine brought in the article and I assumed it was from The Montreal Gazette, but it was actually from The Suburban. I think she still has the article and I could provide you with the date and page number it appeared in later this afternoon, when she comes in, if you'd like to know. I was actually sending you a file containing the flyer on our auction and not a scan of the actual Degrassi poster we will be auctioning off. The auctio is taking place on October 28th . Preview and hors d'?uvres are at 6 :30pm and our many items including well-known art, trips, entertainment packages and objects, as well as the Degrassi poster will be auctioned off at 7 :45pm. Tickets are $25 and have been going very quickly. We are a Foundation which raises money to fund the operations of the Miriam Home which provides a variety of services to intellectually challenged adults and children. The auction will be taking place at our Lori Black Community Cantre at 8160 Royden Road. It is situated between Royalmount and Ferrier and is parallel to the Decarie, one block west of it.

You can come pick one or some up at our offices at The Lori Black Community Centre or we can send them out to you by mail (when provided with credit card information or having been sent a cheque) I think that covers everything I can think of,...I hope it clears up some things,...I'm sorry for the confusion, I had written my first e-mail to you quite hastily,.. We'd be happy to see you at our auction so please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.
Thank you,
Helen Katalifos

This is concerning the question about whether or not PBS ran
"School's Out." It did, at least as of two years ago (I
ended up seeing it on WNET 13 in New York in the middle of the
afternoon on a Tuesday). It was broadcast as a "Wonderworks
Movie Special" or something like that, and was slightly
edited. I think that the word "Fucked" was deleted from
Caitlin's famous line about Joey and Tessa, and I think there
might have been one more edit, but I can't remember what it was.
Other than that, it was great because it was shown without
commercial ... a full two hours. only, I wish that I had taped
it.
Tom Panarese
*Mark* Thank you for correcting me, that would be correct, that
PBS would edit out the foul language. It is too bad, because
School's Out depicted the kids of older, more raw, mature,
wiser...The swearing made it seem more realistic, unlike the
DJH/DH, which was super innocent with respect to language.

Subject: Favourite things about Degrassi
My favourite thing about the Degrassi series is that the kids
had messed up lives. Few people were rich and everybody was
average looking, there were no real studs or beauties. It wasn't
typical prime-time teenage problems either. Like on Full House or
Family Matters where a "crisis" was a cancelled prom
date or bad haircut. Even the most popular kids had insecurities.
I respect how Snake never had a serious girlfriend until
University. In real life not everybody has a boyfriend or
girlfriend all the time.
*Mark* This was one of the keys to success, being realistic, and
not American, like Full House and Family Matters, but universal.
It is rare that Degrassi ever mentions being Canadian. I think it
was understood by everyone who watched, whereas American
Television programs are ethnocentric.

Subject: RE: Snake as a Life guard.
I really liked the way Degrassi made Snake a life guard. To many it seems it is an ideal way to meet girls, but in real life it is not like that. As a life guard myself I am yet to save the life of a beautiful drowning female, who was so thank-ful that she insisted that we go out. Unlike someother American show that totally screws up anything to do with life guarding. I guess that is why Degrassi was so big, it showed us real life people in real life cituations. I congratulate them on that.
I have heard rumors that Fox, at one time, wanted to buy the rights to Degrassi from Playing with Time. The deal never went through because Kit Hood(?) the shows director did not like the fact that they would change some characters. I have also heard that they even flew Joey (Pat M.) to California and wined and dined him. Did the collapse of this possible deal upset any of the actors/actresses, especially Pat M., after the success of Fox's combat to Degrassi, Beverly Hills 90210, took off and gained some much popularity and money?

"Snake, you have to get dressed!" "Mom, I am
not going..." It's the summer before Snake goes into grade 7
and a terrible tragedy has occured in his life. His favourite,
and only remaining, Grandfather has passed away. Snake remembers
all the summers he spent with him up at his camp and can't
imagine not going this summer, let alone ever again. He can't
face going to the funeral, it's just too much. His Mom has laid
out his sombre outfit for him, some new school pants a shirt and
a tie. How can he ever wear these pants to junior high after they
have been stained with the memories of a funeral? He's definitely
not going... Snake makes a fuss and his parents leave for the
funeral with his older brother as Snake sits infront of the TV,
they aren't going to force the issue, but Snake's mom phones his
close friends Wheels and Joey to come and spend time with him
while they are gone to the service, they don't want to leave him
alone. Wheels and Joey arrive about 5 minutes after Snake's
parents leave. Snake is crying, they have never seen their friend
show any such emotion before. They understand because they know
how close Snake was to his Grandpa, they know how many summers
they have spent without Snake because he's been off at camp. They
have even spent time with Snake and his Grandpa and they liked
and respected him too. The 3 boys sit and recall the great times
they had together and Snake starts to feel a little bit better.
The boys spend the rest of the afternoon there discussing what
junior high will be like as school is only a week away! The phone
rings and Snake goes to answer it, it's a telemarketer...Snake
politely says, "No Thanks" and comes back to sit down
with the boys. Joey asks who it was and Snake says "Someone
trying to seel something...it seems everybody wants something
these days..." Joey's little brain starts working overtime,
"That'd be a great idea for a song!" Wheels agrees
"Everybody wants something, they'll take your money and
never give up..." "We are so good we should start a
band eh, Snake?" Thus the classic tale of the Zit Remedy
(aka The Zits) begins...
