neighbours gather together and lend support, both emotional and financial,
a kind of outpouring," says Gzowski. "We want those in Manitoba and
elsewhere who are affected by the flood to know that we want to help.
We=92re hoping to raise a lot of money and, if we=92re lucky, a few
spirits." That's Morningside this Friday, 9:06 to noon, (9:36 to 12:30 NT)

RADIO

1. MORNINGSIDE:

Today on Morningside, Peter Gzowski has continuing coverage of the Red
River flood in Manitoba. Also, on Friday's Morningside, the entire show
will be devoted to the Red River Rally - an old fashioned prairie social
with singers and performers from across the country helping to raise money
for flood relief. That means that today's show will feature the political
forum that is usually heard on Friday. Got that? As well, Lighthouse, the
successful music group in the 70s --- they're back!! That's on Morningside,
9:06 to noon, (9:36 to 12:30 NT) on CBC Radio.

whole lot more. Peter Light is Vicki's guest this afternoon on Gabereau at
2:06 (2:36 NT) on CBC Radio.

3. AS IT HAPPENS:

Tonight on As It Happens... An alternative treatment for menopause, and a
controversy over the regulation of health products. Canadian authorities
stopped a shipment of the natural-product cream at the border, and the

medicine. Find out more tonight on As It Happens, with Michael Enright and
Barbara Budd at 6:30 (7:00 NT) on CBC Radio.

her appearance on the cover of Vanity Fair, to the present day, an
important juncture in her career. She also allowed the cameras
unprecedented access to her private recording studio to film her at work on
her new album, laying down the multi-octave, soaring, swooping vocals that
