Four years ago at Pine
Knob I swore that Neil Dia-
mond was one of the finest
singer-songwriters in the
business. Like everyone
else, I was anxiously wait-
ing for him to come back
again. There was some ap-
prehension this time that he

tickets to Neil Diamond's
Friday night show and I
found myself back at Pine
Knob again the next night.
Our winner was a 13-year
old girl, Cindy Marks, who
brought her father, Bryen,
along. Following the show
we went back to Neil's
dressing room, where he
was a most considerate
host. He signed a couple of
albums for Cindy, posed for
some pictures and really
made it a night to remem-
ber for her.
Now that the Roostertail
is featuring name enter-
tainment again, a lot of
people are re-discovering
the riverfront nightclub.
The fabulous Four Tops
had a successful week
there and singer Bob An-
derson, one of Cosmopoli-
tan's Bachelors of the
Month last year, is the
current attraction. On
the horizen: Della Reese,
the Supremes, the Drift-
ers, the Mills Brothers,
the Kingston Trio and
Fats Domino.
The shows are upstairs in
the Palm River Club, not
downstairs in the old Foun-
tain Room. The downstairs
has now been converted into,
Jerry's Marine Bar, a super
spot for the boating crowd
or anyone who enjoys a cas-
ual family-style eating
place.
People are also re-discov-
ering Topinka's Country
House on Seven Mile at Tel-
egraph. New owner, Al Bal-
ooly, is turning out some
really excellent food and the
atmosphere has always
been pleasant.
We were in there a few
weeks ago with Ken Haer-
ing, a young singing talent

By JACKIE KALLEN

Guest Columnist

with hopes of a superstar
career. After dinner, Ken
got up with pianist Jimmy
Clark and did a few songs.
When he started "You Are
the Sunshine of My Life,"
the startled diners stopped
eating and listened in
amazement. He has one of
the most technically perfect
voices I've ever heard. He did
Perry Como's "And I Love
You So," and the people
were yelling for more. He
did his version of Paul An-
ka's "My Way" and he
couldn't have gotten a more
appreciative response if he
was Sinatra.
With the right breaks
and some good contacts,
Ken Haering could go a
long, long way. Unfortun-
ately, the competition is
staggering and a lot of
truly talented performers
get lost in the crowd.
Here's hoping Ken
doesn't.
Viewers of Channel 7
news are smitten with
handsome Rick Edlund, the
news reporter who joined
the station from Miami a
few months. ago. A 26-year
old bachelor, Edlund lives in
the Somerset Apartments
and is still finding his way
around the area and meet-
ing new friends.
"It's not real easy to meet
people with a job like this,"
he explained. "I work from 1
p.m. until after the 11 p.m.
news during the week and
I'm only free on the week-
ends. I try not to stay out
late on work days because
then I'm shot the next day
and it's not worth it."
He's a tennis nut and he'll
no doubt meet a lot of other
players out on the courts

Israel-S. African Cooperation
Seen As Pragmatic Politics

PHILADELPHIA (JTA)

— The growing rapproche-
ment between Israel and
South Africa is based purely
on pragmatic consideration
on both sides, Helen Suz-
man, leader of-the struggle
against South Africa's
apartheid policies, said
last week.
The new relationship,
however, does not necessar-
ily mean that the two na-
tions condone each other's
policies, she added, accord-
ing to a report by Frank
Wundohl and David. Gross
of the Philadelphia Jewish
Exponent.
Mrs. Suzman, who is Jew-
ish, received a special Civil
Liberties Medallion at a
meeting of the Philadelphia
chapter of the American
Jewish Committee. A leader
of the opposition Progres-
sive Reform Party in the
South African Parliament,
Mrs. Suzman maintained
that most South African
Jews, especially the younger
Jews, do not support
apartheid.
She cautioned, however,
that Jews do not vote as a
bloc and the South African
vote is not analyzed by eth-
nic groups, as it is here in
the United States.
Turning to the recent
I riots in South Africa which

left more than 100 dead and
thousands wounded, in the
Black townships near Jo-
hannesburg and Pretoria,
Mrs. Suzman noted that the
recently appointed govern-
ment commission would not
search very far for their
cause.

Red Magen David

Cites Donations

this summer. Anyone who
watches the "Number One
News Team" will surely rec-
ognize Edlund, who brushes
aside his good looks with a
shrug.
"I don't know that I'm so
good looking. It's very hard
for me to assess, though, be-
cause when I look in the
mirror every morning, I'm
not very impressed. I don't
know what anyone else sees.
"The biggest drawback
in my career so far has
been that I'm too young-
looking. The idea seems to
be that if you look too
young, how can you con-
vincingly tell other people
what's going on in the
world. It's a matter of
credibility."
Is the disco craze dying
out? The Golden Coach in
Warren hopes not. The club,
which previously featured
semi-name entertainment,
has recently turned into a
sophisticated disco. They
still offer dining, but the
emphasis is on dancing and
mingling. Whether it will be
more successful this way re-
mains to be seen. Once the
newness wears off and
everyone has been there to
check it out, we'll see how
they do.
One club that is always
busy is the Inn Between in
Pontiac. One of the finest
listening -rooms anywhere,
it's the room where most of
us first heard Tom Powers.
They feature excellant en-
tertainment, good food and
great service. It's become a
frequent stomping ground
for talent like Travis, the
• Dan Schafer group, Judy
Roberts, Feather Canyon,
Lori Jacobs, Ron Coden and
Powers.
The Inn is a super place to
stop at when you're on the
way home from Pine Knob.
It's on M-59 at Elizabeth
Lake Rd. It's a mellow kind
of club where you won't be
blasted out the door by loud
music and you'll meet a very
nice blend of people.
