by a loud knocking at the door. A distraught woman asked to use the phone, then declared she wanted to hurt someone, producing a pair of scissors.

GREG KENNEDY Journal Television Writer Edmonton A pat on the back is nice, but a nationally televised bash is better when it comes to honoring Canada's young achievers.

Frenetic Tarzan Dan and bag-o'-laughs Weird Al Yankovic crack up the airwaves as hosts of The 5th Annual YTV Achievement Awards at 8:30 p.m. tonight on YTV (Cable 23S, 14V). Don't look for politicians or politically correct commercial sponsors to try to score brownie points on this one. It isn't going to happen, according to producer Morgan Earl, who's pushing for a free-form, spontaneous, almost vaudeville celebration where anything fun can His first commitment is to the A'nners and the audience. "The YAA! show is i.on-stop, seamless energy, with lots of music, dance and fun to the max," he says.

"We're there to say 'two thumbs up' to 27 incredible young people. They've earned a special moment and YTV is going to deliver it." This year's awards beam from the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, and for the uninitiated, Tarzan Dan is Canada's hottest (and wackiest?) DJ, who counts down the top 30 music ideos weekly on YTVs The Hit List. His gig on Toronto's hit radio station AM640 has earned him Record magazine's Announcer of the Year award for 1990 through 1993. Weird Al, the Grand Poobah of Pop Culture, is rock 'n' roll's supreme parodist, the reigning king of accordian, ho's copped gold and platinum alliums, two Grammys, and his own movie with his twisted humor. Although no Edmonton or Alberta youths made the final cut, a glance at a handful of the winners reveals ickedly impressive competition: Entrepreneurship Marc Boutet, 18, of Ste-Foy, is VOLUNTEER 11H A WlHTtfflttlt A The Edmonton ALGERIA THE SOUKE OF MASV BENEFITS "Journal The Edmonton THE STATS PAGE Every day: who won, who placed, who showed the scores, the points, the records professional and amateur results of all the games what to catch on the tube.
