Dave Collins of Lake Lanier
said a young black bear, six to
eight months old, ambled across
West Lakeshore Drive a bit too
casually yesterday as Dave was
driving home. He had to step on
the brakes.
Dave urges motorists around
the lake to be extra cautious for
awhile now until the little guy
learns a bit more about the
dangers of sharing his
environment with humans.
How lucky we are to live in a
place which he would consider
sharing with us. Does he like to
water ski?

‘High Spirits”
Remembered
While much attention is being
paid, naturally, to the next Tryon
Little Theater production, “Steel
Magnolias,” let the public not
forget the 1990-91 season opener
"High Spirits.” Although belated,
here is a tribute to its excellence.
“High Spirits” had a stage full
of attractions. Johanna Linch, as
Madame Arcati, was superb
frolicking about in outlandish
costumes and rendering lunatic
ballads. Her “Bicycle Song" got
an improbable musical off to a
rousing start, and her paean to
her Ouija board was hilarious.
Christine Fitch, handsome and
vivid, as the impatient second
wife, displayed her superlative
voice at its best. Her opening
song, “Was She Prettier Than
I?,” will long be remembered, as
will her duets with Dean
Campbell, “Where Is The Man I
Married?” and “If I Know You.”
Dean Campbell surpassed
himself as the frazzled husband
with one wife too many. In his
first role as a full-fledged musical
comedy leading man, he set a
standard that will be hard to
match. His duets with Donna
Shelley met with enthusiastic
audience response: “Forever
and A Day,” and “I Know Your
Heart.”
Donna Shelley, a newcomer to
the TLT stage, was a hit as the
mischievous, gauzy, restless
ectoplasm of a first wife. Her
“Faster Than Sound” and
“Home Sweet Heaven” showed
