Coast Guardsman Saves Villas Woman

Coast Guardsman Duane C. Powers recently aided in saving the life of a Villas resident, Mrs. Edna McAllister. According to Petty Officer Third Class Powers, he and his wife Maureen had just come home when his next door neighbor, Charles McAllister told them his wife Edna couldn't breath. Telephone service was out in the ares and Mr. McAllister had been unable to call the rescue squad. The Powers’ immediately rushed into the McAllister home where they found Mrs. McAllister sitting in a chair breathing irregularly and with great difficulty "I thought it was a heart attack said Petty Officer Powers,"so I ran as fast as I could to the nearby Villas Volunteer Fire House to call the rescue squad. The Ambulance service from the Villas took Mrs. McAllister to Burdette Tomlin Hospital where she was treated and admitted for an adverse reaction from a medication. Mrs. McAllister remains in the hospital in fair condition. Petty Officer Powers is stationed at the Training Center Galley as a cook in Cape May and says what he did is something any Coast Guard Sailor would do if put in a similar situation. Petty Officer Powers and his wife Maureen live at 106 Carolina Ave. in the Villas. GARDEN CLUB OF STONE HARBOR The January meeting of the Garden Gub of Stone Harbor was exceedingly well attended.

Sounds By Charles P. Lamey

There are probably few readers who are excited about the fact a new Brownsville Station album has just been released. After all, weren’t they the ones responsible for “Smokin’ in The Boys Room," the cute, novelty rocker which sold millions, yet no one admits to buying it? Most acts would do anything for a chart-topping single, Brownsville Station got one and have suffered for it ever

since.

Fortunatelly, Brownsville (they just dropped the Station) love what they do, because they’ve stuck it out. Their last couple of albums didn’t sell, despite the fact they were great, but Brownsville won’t stop rocking, as their new album, “Air Mail Special” (Epic), amply proves. Dedicated students of records, Brownsville is more than adept at blues, country, rockabilly, and even swing, as they do Benny Goodman’s “Air Mail Special” on their new album, but their forte will always be rock and roll.

"Air Mail Special" is their seventh album in nearly ten years for this Detroit band and it’s easily their most consistent effort. Missing, unfortunately, is their wild sense of humor, but in its place is some solid music thanks to the overpowering drums of Henry “H-Bomb” Week and the guitars of Cub Koda and Bruce Nazarian. Michael Lutz and Cub Koda's voices are aggressive and raspy - perfect for their uncompromising brand of rock and roll. The original material, especially ‘Taste of Your Love” and “Waitin’ for the Weekend,” is strong and dependable. Brownsville has always been a band that could treat a cover version with respect, and two of the ones included here, “Who Do You Love” and “Down the Road Apiece,” are as exciting as anything else they’ve done in their lengthy career.

always be rock and roB

Like several other rock and roll bands, Brownsville suffers from pre-hearing prejudice, which is unfortunate, as this is an honest rock and roll group that wants people to dance to their music. Brownsville has the power and energy of Ted Nugent with the studio finesse of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. “Air Mail Special” is a must for rock

and roll fans.

Not being a fan of Hot Chocolate, I’m surprised how much I enjoy their former lead singer’s debut solo album. Tony Wflson’s “Catch One” (Bearsville) is a moving, modem day soul album. He’s got incredible material, some of it influenced by reggae music, and a smooth, controlled voice. Although not a major name yet, the future of Tony Wils n is a promising one. Caravan Was oe of the many British bands to emerge from art schools that produced eccentric, progressive rock. Their “Best Of’ (London) is a fine sampling of their talents, but there’s much more to the story than what’s here. Caravan blended rock rhythms and chord progressions with jazz-like improvisation and the sound was full and demand-ng, yet easy to grasp

after several playings. On top of the music, were their eerie, meandering vocals, which really made Caravan a treat to listen to. This album is a fine start to the music of Caravan. New Jersey’s own soul shouter, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes have, on their third try, come up with their best album yet, “Heart of Stone” (Epic). Excellent material and production, but the true star is Southside Johnny himself, who is singing with more conviction and depth than before. At last, this performer has an album that captures his onstage intensity.
