- Kiwi charities have relied on celebrities to help their
causes for decades but how would they fare if networks pulled the plug? Celebrities have
been fronting good causes in New Zealand for decades but that might be about to change
after one network has been forced to re-think its policy.
[click here to read Woman's Weekly article and scan of Lucy] - The New Playstation World magazine features Playstation 1 game
called: "Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix" which has two female detectives in it
called Hana and Rain. The plot contains some overt subtext between the two apparently. To
illustrate what they mean by 'subtext' the magazine has a very not so subtle look at Xena
and Gabrielle and asks the question "Are They or Aren't They"?

- The following is from Mist at Sword and Staff
As many of you have heard, Tonya Muir lost her long battle with cancer this past week. Tonya was truly a sweet soul, and anyone who knew her or met her knows that we have all suffered a great loss with her passing. Tonya was very supportive of our efforts with Sword and Staff, and I felt it proper that we do something to celebrate her life. In her memory, I will be collecting donations to the Rainforest Preservation Foundation. The acreage of Amazon Rainforest we preserve in her name will be a perpetual memorial to a young woman who touched so many lives. If you'd like to participate, please send a check payable to the Rainforest Preservation Foundation to: Sword and Staff

In memory of Tonya Muir - here is a beautiful poem
"Strength" by Kel
The strongest thing on earth is not made
By the hands of man or by machine.
It is not a stone of diamond or jade
And still it remains untouched and unseen.
Under the worst circumstances it still
Continues to gather more and more strength
Acting upon its own instinct and will
Pushing itself to impossible lengths.
No one can conceivably comprehend
The immeasurable power inside.
But everyong knows that wounds it helps mend
By facing things no escaping to hide.
Look closely and listen and you'll hear it...
The fearless cries of the human spirit.
If you would like to add your condolences, there is now a memorial page for Tonya - http://www.nutbread.com/tonyamuir.htm or read her brilliant fan fiction

Ventured, Nothing Gained (Alt)

Announcement
It has just been announced that Tonya Muir has passed away surrounded by family and friends. Her friends, her fans and her family has lost someone very dear. Rest in Peace, Tonya.
All condolence cards should be sent to:Gina Yount
744 S Nile Way
Aurora, CO 80012
Gina is Tonya's mum.
It was announced recently that all money from the sale of Tonya's book "Breaking Away" will be donated for research into investigating unknown primary source cancer.
Sword and Staff will administer this collection. If you
wish to donate in Tonya's name please send your donation to
Sword and Staff
P.O. Box 224
Floral Park, NY 11002
USA
There is a cure for cancer...it's just a matter of finding it.
- I've been trying to come up with the words to express my sadness at Tonya's passing and I think the following expresses how I'm feeling. This is from Star Trek: The Next Generation and the passing of Tasha Yar"So you'll understand when I say, 'Death is that state in which one exists in the memory of others', which is why it is not an end. No goodbyes, just good memories. Hailing frequencies closed."
Tonya, you will forever be in my memory and therefore no goodbyes, just very good memories.

Xenaverse News 24 January I was very saddened to receive this email today. As many of you know Tonya Muir is sick
with cancer. Unfortunately the news is quite bad. Tonya hasn't been able to answer mail
and if you have sent her any please know she isn't ignoring you she is just not able to.
Clive (Tonya's husband) and Tonya are now staying with her mum instead of a hospital or
hospice. Tonya and Clive you are in our thoughts and prayers. If you wish to send "We are thinking of you card" please send it to Gina is Tonya's mum. Let's put that Xenite force into action and show Tonya and Clive
our support and love. Lucy will be on the sitcom "Just Shoot Me" on the 15 February.
Please check your local guides (in the US) for times.

I just received a packet of wedding photos from Renee to put in the next fan club newsletter. She didn't release any publicly and wishes only to share them with the fans. She and Steve also included a note they wanted me to pass along to everyone who wished them well on this truly happy occasion:
"Hello everyone! It's about time we dropped a note thanking "all ya'll" for the generosity you showed when we were married. The letters of congratulations were greatly appreciated. Also, raising money for charity was the perfect way to show your good wishes for us. We were truly amazed and humbled by such a force of benevolence. We had a wonderful wedding day, surounded by our families, and we hope to take a long, relaxing honeymoon sometime this year. Thanks for showing that again, the Xena fans ROCK!
Renee O'Connor & Steve Muir"

Great news for Aussies!
Tim Smith the Products Manager for Universal Pictures Video has advised me of some great news. February 7 is the launch date for the first 3 volumes of Season 1 in PAL format! Each month after there will be a further two volumes released.
In the first 3 Volumes, they have produced 'Collector Cards', which use the front sleeve graphic of each title. There are two eps per tape and the episodes will be released chronologically right from the start! They will be available from all leading video retailers, Target, Big W, Myer Grace Bros, K-Mart etc!
For international folk (particularly those from the U.S.), if they can source them from local online retailers, and they ship overseas - they can pick up each volume for about US$9 each (which is a bargain!). Each volume will retail for the RRP of $18.50.
THE TAPES ARE IN PAL FORMAT SUITABLE FOR AUSTRALIA / UK / NEW ZEALAND. So if you're are US Xenite and want to order them - please be aware you won't be able to play them unless you have a dual VCR.

published and ready for purchasing! It is available at Amazon.com and the link is supplied
below. Amazon is listing it at a mere <g> $12.95, which, I assure you, Advocate and
I will see approximately $0.085 per book. Yes, our get-rich-quick-scheme has come to
fruition. We only need every person on this planet to buy four books each and we're set.
Wish us luck! Why should you order this book? Again, our retirement funds need help. But
you also get the delightful extra chapter, not released on the web, detailing Shannon and
Ryan's post-island life. It's a long chapter. It's well worth your money. <bg>
