C5 CULTURE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2005 EDMONTON JOURNAL SPOTLIGHT CHUM gobbles up Access group shares Fund Focus Ray Turchansky Wednesdays and Saturdays in Business group with vocal. Costello's cover of the Cole Porter song Let's Misbehave from the movie De-Lovely is among the nominees in the male pop vocal competition. The Grammys will be given out Sunday in Los Angeles. A limited edition version of The Delivery Man will be released March 1 to coincide with the tour's kickoff. Winkler looks back fondly on Fonz role angeles Henry Winkler says his days as the Fonz really were Happy Days.

Winkler played the supercool, leather-jacketed Arthur (the Fonz) Fonzarelli on the sitcom, which aired from 1974 to 1984. "The creating of the Fonz came slowly," Winkler, 59, told AP Radio in an interview. "Whoa! came from my favourite sport at the time, which was horseback riding." The show starred Winkler and Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham, and followed the life of the Cunningham family during the 1950s. The cast recently reunited for a 30th-anniversary special on ABC. Conservation effort 1 threatened PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA lind encroachment in northwestern Cambodia is threaten-iijg the future of nature conservation efforts funded by actor Angelina Jolie, a beneficiary of her aid said.

Mounh Sarath, director of Cambodian Vision in Development, said some 1,000 people have recently settled about five kilometres inside a protected site in Pailin, a former war in Cambodia's northwest. The new settlers, who moved in from other provinces about four months ago, have cut down the forest to grow crops, he said Monday. Jolie is giving his group $1.5 million US for its work to protect about 60,000 hectares of forest in Samlaut and Pailin, former strongholds of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime that ruled Cambodia in the 1970s. Mounh Sarath said the Pailin part of the project could fail unless the government takes action to stop land encroachment. "The new settlers will attract more people to the area.

Any expansion of new settlement of the Craig station in town, it was getting too difficult to decide what to do with 40 percent of the company distributed here and there." Some of the shareholders who controlled the 40-percent minority stake in LTA include corporations owned by Moses Znaimer, LTApres-ident and CEO Ron Keast, and senior executives in CHUM. In December, the Edmonton-based broadcasting company celebrated its 10th anniversary in Edmonton; in 1994, the ownership group purchased the Access name and library from the Alberta government for one dollar. Since then, the Ministry of Education has purchased millions of dollars worth of time and programming on a yearly basis from Access. With additional revenue from advertising and related sales, the operation has grown from one station to four, and owns a 70-per-cent interest in a continuing education business called The Learning Annex. tbabiakthejournal.

canwest.com TODD BABIAK fournal Culture Writer EDMONTON Less than a week after announcing that its A-Channel will soon change its name to CityTV, CHUM swallowed up all minority shares Monday in Learning and Skills Television of Alberta, based in Edmonton. Learning and known as Access Media Group, owns and operates Access Television, Canadian Learning Television, CourtTV Canada and Book-Television. The channels currently broadcast out of a building in Edmonton's industrial east side but there is speculation that CHUM will consolidate its operations downtown in the old Bay building that already houses A-Chan-nel and CHUM'S new urban radio property, which will begin broadcasting in the spring. "It's a matter of efficiencies," said Pam Hnytka, publicist for Access Media Group. "With the purchase hi I i'AIJw MAGIC LANTERN CINEMA 205 Main St Spruce Grove 962-2332 Racing Stripes (G) Sat-Sun.
