It’s Happening at Chinook Winds in September ... Make Any Night Feel Like Valentine’s with Air Supply In many relationships, one Valentine’s Day a year just isn’t enough. To help everyone feel lovey-dovey, Air Supply will perform at Chinook Winds Casino on Oct. 3-4 at 8 p.m. The genesis of Air Supply began during an Australian production of Jesus Christ, Superstar in 1974. Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell had both obtained roles as apostles. During breaks in rehearsal, Russell would sit by himself and play his guitar. Before long, Hitchcock wandered over and began singing along with Russell’s tunes. The two quickly discovered a smooth musical harmony as well as a friendship that would prove to endure over the years. As they sang at Australian coffee houses, their soft, mellow tunes competed with hard rock and glam rock, which were popular at that time. Russell supplied the name when they SEPTEMBER formed their own group, dubbing it Air Supply because he thought of their music as a “breath of fresh air.” Air Supply was introduced to American audiences when Rod Stewart asked them to join him on tour. Air Supply signed a $1.5 million inter national deal with Arista and released Lost In Love in the U.S. In February 1980, the song had already reached No. 3 on Billboard’s charts. This was the first of seven consecutive singles to enter the American top five. Over the next three years, Air Supply produced hit after chart-rating hit: All Out Of Love, Every Woman In The World, Sweet Dreams, Even The Nights Are Better, and the smash hit Making Love Out Of Nothing At All, which remained at the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s charts for three weeks. In 1991, the group came back strong with the release of a new album, The Earth Is, beginning a trend of a new album released every other year. In 1995, in Taipei, Taiwan, they recorded their Great est Hits Live album, their first live album. Ticket prices range from $25 to $40, depending on seat location.

September ¿003 2003 by Teresa Simmons Senior Fair 2003 Coming to Chinook Winds Plans are being made for Senior Fair 2003, scheduled for Oct. 7-8 at Chinook Winds Casino. “We are receiving a tremendous response from seniors throughout the region,” said Roger Robertson, Senior Fair 2003 organizer. “We have had inquiries for information from as far away as Houston, Texas,” he added. Oregon and Washington chapters of AARP and retired teacher organizations will be invited to the two-day event. Event information has appeared in Modern Maturity magazine, one of the most widely distributed magazines in the U.S. “We will have a variety of local entertainers,” said entertainment coordinator Phil Robertson. “The really big attractions will be the two grand prize drawings, which this year will be a trip to Hawaii for two and the second is a cruise for two, all thanks to Chinook Winds Casino,” he added. The Lincoln County Health Department will offer a variety of immunizations at the event, including flu shots for seniors. Businesses that are sponsoring booths are as varied as the enter tainment, said Phil. “We have travel and insurance agencies, bankers, heating contractors, Factory Stores, investment counselors, and people to help you with your pets,” he said. Phil went on to add, “We will have health care professionals, including Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, and also employment oppor tunities for seniors.” Senior Fair 2003 is sponsored by AARP, Lincoln City Senior Center, KYTE and KBCH radio, The News Guard, Chinook Winds Casino & Convention Center, Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau, and All Ways Traveling. “We open Tuesday morning, the same day that Chinook Winds offers a reduced price for breakfast for senior citizens,” said Roger. “If you’re looking for information, entertainment, or just someone to have a good chat with, please plan to attend.”
