By Tony Atherton Citizen staff writer TORONTO On The Road Again, CBC Ottawa's paean to rural Canada, was honored by a big city crowd at the 1989 Gemini awards on Tuesday. The series, hosted by rangy, amiable Ottawa Valley singer Wayne Rostad, was named best light information series during a televised ceremony from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The award was accepted by Susan Stranks, who produced the series until this season. The series edged past last year's winner in the category, CTV's Live It as well as a couple of consciously hip series from CITY-TV, FT, Fashion Television and The Originals. "You've made my mother happy and you've made the people of CBC Ottawa very happy," said Stranks, adding a special thanks to Rostad as "the heart of the series." The series, which ran for years on CBC Ottawa under the name Country Report before moving to the network two years ago, says something about the strength of regional television, Stranks said later. "I hope with the cutbacks at CBC that regional programs will not be affected the way some people have suggested," Stranks said. "There are a lot of talented people in the regions and I have been privileged to work with some of them." Glory Enough For All, the CBC mini-series about the work of Frederick Banting, continued the winning pace it set during the non-televised portion of the Gemini awards on Monday.

On Tuesday it picked up Geminis for best mini-series; best actor in a dramatic program (for R. H. Thomson as Banting); and best actress in a dramatic program (Martha Henry) to go with six other technical and craft awards presented earlier. The only nomination it didn't win was when the mini-series was competing against itself. John Woodvine's performance as Banting's glory-grabbing mentor lost to Thomson in the lead actor category.

The awards were part of a near sweep by CBC on Monday. CTV only managed to pick up one award; that being Harvey Hart's posthumous Gemini for best direction for a dramatic program in the mini-series Passion and Paradise. CBC won the other 19 competition categories including best dramatic series (the second year running for Degrassi Junior High; best actress in a dramatic series (another Degrassi coup for young Stacie Mistysyn as Caitlin); and best actor in a dramatic series (Eric Peterson's second Gemini for the role of idealistic lawyer Leon Rabinovitch in Street Legal). The best of English-language TV had a good platform to celebrate on. The CTV production, headed by Morgan Earl, was a slickly packaged affair relying on the considerable talents of its Citizen staff and news services James Woods splits Actor James Woods, 42, and his wife, Sarah Marie Owen, 26, have separated after four months of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

McCann, who has also won acclaim for his performance as a fastidious, dithering Mackenzie King in Donald Brit-tain's TJie King Chronicle, earlier told The Citizen he hadn't been in the business long enough to have a "body of work." "Maybe an elbow of work or a big toe of work, but not a body. Heck, I'm still waiting for my big break."
