The Delrons started (More) Reparata and the Delrons were an American girl group popular during the 1960s. The Delrons started out as a quartet in 1962 at St. Brendan's Catholic School in Brooklyn, New York, led by lead singer Mary Aiese, who subsequently billed herself as Reparata after Sister Reparata, one of her school teachers. The other originals were Nanette Licari, Regina Gallagher and Anne Fitzgerald, but they were soon replaced by Sheila Reilly, Carol Drobnicki, and (initially) Cathy Romeo. The group were spotted by record producers Bill and Ted Jerome, who recorded them in 1964 first for Laurie Records, and then on the Ernie Maresca song Whenever a Teenager Cries on the World Artists label. This became a regional hit but failed to reach the national top 40, a pattern repeated by its follow-up, Tommy. However, the trio toured nationally with Dick Clarks Caravan of Stars, and the groups name became widely known. In 1965 they moved to RCA Records, Drobnicki and Reillie having been replaced by former member Licari, and Lorraine Mazzola. After several unsuccessful releases in a similar style to the Shangri-Las, including Jeff Barrys Im Nobodys Baby Now and an album, they moved again to Mala Records. In 1968 they released "Captain of Your Ship", co-written by Kenny Young. This missed the US national charts, but made the top 20 in the UK, where they then toured. Young said[1] of this period:-"If they had been more attractive there could have been a decent career there. They were responsible for me moving to England. I accompanied them to Top Of The Pops..[and]..attended the reception for their hit single 'Captain Of Your Ship', along with John Lennon and Ringo at the Revolution Club in London. I met half the Beatles at our own reception...". "Captain of Your Ship" would gain new interest over 30 years later when it featured on a late 1990s Mllerice advert, with modified lyrics. However, follow-ups were unsuccessful, and by 1970 Mary Aiese left the group. Initially Lorraine Mazzolas group continued to bill themselves as Reparata and the Delrons, releasing an album of classic girl group songs, but they retired in 1973 and the following year Mazzola re-emerged as a member of Lady Flash, the back-up group behind Barry Manilow. Mary Aiese then reclaimed the name Reparata retaining it after an unsuccessful lawsuit by Mazzola - and released several solo singles, of which the most successful, Shoes, was a minor hit in 1975.

Passengers safely rescued cruise ship strikes iceberg http://www.CanadaPot.com
A dozen Canadians were among the 154 passengers and crew who were safely (More) http://www.CanadaPot.com
A dozen Canadians were among the 154 passengers and crew who were safely rescued at sea after they were forced to abandon their cruise ship when it struck ice in the Antarctic Ocean and started to sink early Friday morning.
The 12 Canadians - 10 tourists and two expedition guides on the adventure cruise - spent four hours in lifeboats once they were evacuated from the Explorer, a ship owned by a Canadian tour company.
They waited in the cold for nearby ships to arrive and were then all loaded onto a large Norwegian cruise ship called the Nordnorge.
"Our passengers are safe and accounted for and that's our first priority," Kira Zack, spokeswoman for Toronto-based G.A.P Adventures, told CanWest News Service.
G.A.P. Adventures has owned the Explorer since 2004 and operates several tours in the Antarctic and in other parts of the world. It specializes in small group adventure travel.
The collision with the ice punctured a hole about the size of a fist in the rear starboard side of the ship. The vessel, which left Ushuaia, Argentina, on Nov.11, was near the South Shetland Islands when the accident happened. The South Shetland Islands lie about 120 kilometres north of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The ship began to take on water and a distress call was made. The Explorer's pumps managed the incoming water while the 91 passengers and nine expedition staff were gathered in the boat's lecture hall and told of the emergency. They had received evacuation training on the first day and put it into practice, the company said. There were no injuries and no reports of hypothermia.
"The evacuation was very calm from all the reports that we've heard and the crew handled it very well and calmly," said Zack.
"No one was hysterical; they were just sitting there nice and quiet, because we knew there were ships coming," Peter Svensson, the Explorer's first officer, told Reuters Television by satellite phone from the Nordnorge.
"We were passing through ice as usual ... we do that every day ... But this time something hit the hold and we got a little leakage downstairs," said Svensson.
The boat was listing at a 40-degree angle and was expected to sink, according to Argentine coast guard officials.
Passengers and crew were being taken to a Chilean military base on King George Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands, from where they later will be flown to Chile and Argentina.
They were welcomed aboard the Nordnorge, given extra clothing and food and the opportunity to contact their families.
In addition to the 12 Canadians were travellers from the United States, Britain, Australia, France and several other countries on board the ship.
According to forecasters, the air temperature was around -5 C and the sea temperature was around -1 C when the ship was being abandoned, said Zack.
The 75-metre Explorer, a well-known ship in marine circles, was built in 1969 and is specifically designed with a reinforced double hull to withstand ice and other environmental challenges.
The company isn't sure why the Explorer suffered the damage it did, considering it was built to navigate icy waters.
"We're going to be doing a full investigation," Zack said. "I_don't want to speculate; we're waiting on the investigation."
She added the Explorer passed a full safety inspection in October.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before," she said.
People who have trips booked with G.A.P. Adventures to Antarctica are being contacted by the company. Zack said travellers should have no qualms about going to Antarctica.
"Antarctica is a beautiful part of the world - one of the last-travelled frontiers of the world,"_she said. "It's very popular for the adventurers."
G.A.P. Adventures says the Explorer has a "legendary" history. It was the first passenger ship to travel to Antarctica and the first to venture south of the Antarctic Circle. It was also the first passenger ship to travel through the icy waters of the Northwest Passage.
The tour company operates several trips to the Antarctic and the Explorer was in the midst of a 20-day tour called the Spirit of Shackleton. Eighteen nights are spent at sea and the tour includes stops at the Falkland Islands, the island of South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula. It costs more than $13,500 Cdn. The Antarctic Tour focuses on wildlife, culture, history and scenery and several naturalists, historians and geologists are on board the ship to educate the travellers.
Tourism has been booming in the Antarctic in the past few years. More than 20,000 people make the trek each year, according to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators, an organization dedicated to promoting environmentally responsible travel to the Antarctic. Americans make up the majority of visitors but, in the past year, more than 2,000 Canadians went to the region. (Less)
