STING

Gordon Matthew Sumner was born in 1951 in Newcastle-on-Tyne in the north ofEngland. After quite a strict education, young Gordon himself became ateacher. At the same time, he taught himself the guitar, playing Beatles andRolling Stones hits. He then began to play with several small groups. He oftenwore yellow and black striped T-shirts which earned him the nickname ‘Sting’since people thought he looked like a wasp!In 1976, Sting went to London to try his luck. One year later, he and StewartCopeland formed ‘Police’. The group has now disappeared, but their successessuch as Roxanne, Can’t stand losing you, and Message in a bottle, have becomeclassics. Sting’s first solo was Spread a little happiness in 1982. In 1983, Policemade their last tour together with the album Synchronicity, which containedhits such as Every breath you take and Wrapped around your finger. It wasNumber 1 in the United States and Great Britain. When the group split up, Stingstarted his career as an actor in David Lynch’s film Dune.Around 1980, long before the idea become fashionable, Sting created anassociation called Outlando’s Trust for the underprivileged. He then took partin the Amnesty International tour with Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and others. Hemade his political position clear, for example, in ‘Invisible Sun’ about NorthernIreland.In 1985, Sting took part in the Live Aid concert at Wembley to help collectmoney in aid of famine victims in Ethiopia. This was followed by the Band Aidrecord ‘Do they know it’s Christmas?’ The group Police came back together againfor three concerts in the United States for Amnesty International. At the end of1986, Sting –solo again– took part in the Amnesty Conspiracy of Hope tour with



Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, and U2.He went on to make records in aid of the disabled. He opened the show for theliberation of Nelson Mandela at Wembley in 1988, and toured for Amnesty in‘Human Rights Now’ with Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman and YoussouN’Dour. Sting then disappeared from the world of music to devote his time tothe strugglefor the Amazonian Rainforest with Chief Raoni. The RainforestAssociation, that he helped to found, now has offices all over the world.In 1991, Sting released the album The Soul Cages. His career as a musician hadbeen relaunched.

NESSIE,THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

Loch (‘lake’ in Scottish) Ness is situated in Scotland. It is 36 Kms long and between2 - 4 Kms wide. It is also very deep, nearly 230 metres at its deepest point.Some people say there is a monster called “Nessie” living in Loch Ness. For centuriesthere have been sightings of large animals in the lake. As early as 565 AD, SaintColumba said he saw a monster in the lake. People also saw monsters or “floatingislands” in the 16th and 17th centuries.Many people today do not believe there is a monster in Loch Ness, but many others



think it is real. Some even say that the monster could be the devil himself.A road to the lake was opened in 1933. Many people could then visit the area, whichbecame a popular tourist attraction. Since that time, more than 4,000 people claimthey have seen the creature. There are photographs, films and even recordings ofthe sounds made by Nessie under the water which suggest that the monster exists.Mr Campbell, a man who has observed the lake for over 50 years and says he hasseen the monster many times, described it as “a huge animal with a small head, athin six-foot long neck, a big hump, about 30 feet long from nose to tail, and darkbrown or grey-black in colour”.During the Second World War, an Italian newspaper reported that a bomb attack onthe lake had killed the beast.Every year more and more people claim they have seen Nessie. The monster usuallyappears in calm sunny weather. Perhaps this is because Nessie wants to get a suntan!Some people say they have seen not one but several creatures. A £100,000underwater camera took photographs of large animals twelve separate times inAugust 1972. So it could be that there is a group of these animals in the lake.Many unanswered questions remain. How did the creatures get into the loch? Howdid they survive for so many years? Why haven’t any dead monsters been found?However, one thing is sure; there is something very strange in Loch Ness.

THE HISTORY OF SURFING

Surfing, the sport of riding breaking waves on a surfboard, originated in prehistoric times in the South Seas. The sea was the most important force in the lives of the people of Hawaii and the other islands of the Pacific Ocean. It had strong religious and social connotations. From the 15th

century onwards, surfing was important because it showed that one could “master” the sea. There were many competitions and challenges to the death between rival chiefs.The British captain James Cook was one of the first foreigners to see surfing when he went to Hawaii in 1778. He was very impressed by this spectacular sport and Europeans were fascinated by the stories the sailors brought home. The reaction of the first missionaries to Hawaii , however, was quite different. They did not approve of surfing and actually banned it in 1821. But, despite the efforts of the missionaries, the Hawaiian people never abandoned the sport. Important people made elaborate boards of solid wood; young boys surfed on banana trunks.In 1920 a famous Hawaiian swimmer called Duke Kahanamoku started the first surfing club in Waikiki.. He gave surfing demonstrations all round the USA and in Australia - on a solid wood board that weighed 60 kilos! He was universally loved and admired. When he died in 1968, the sport was popular all over the world.The International Surfing Federation was founded in 1962 in Peru and world championships have been held since then in North America, Peru, Hawaii, South Africa and Australia.Today surfing has become a way of life. It has its music, its clothes, its hi-tech equipment, its new champions. The original Hawaiian surfers would be surprised at the modern clothes and equipment but one thing has not changed: the magic of the perfect wave.
