Grey rezones CN property
Grey Township council held its
regular meeting on Oct. 17 and
passed bylaws authorizing the
conveyance of a number of sections
of the former CN railway back to
the abutting landowners for the
costs involved. Almost all the
parcels of land from Lots 2 to 34,
Cone. 9 were purchased by the
abutting landowners.
Council also decided to place
advertisements in local newspapers
to advise the general public that the
transactions have been completed
and the property is now under
private ownership. Council decided
to run the. ads mainly out of
concern for trespassing.
In a related bylaw, council voted
to rezone the former CN property
on Lots 4 and 5, Cone. 9 to a
special institutional zone to permit
the establishment of a snowmobile
clubhouse. The abutting land
owners did not express an interest
in this section of property and the
B-W Trailblazers Snowmobile
Club has approached council to
purchase the property to relocate
their clubhouse.
Council also declared the weeks
of Nov. 6 - 12 as Crime Prevention

Thought for the week: The Lord
never stops giving us reason to
praise Him!

An important milestone in movie history finally makes its appearance
on home video this week. Work on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
**** (Disney - $28.99 or less), the world’s first full length animated
feature film was begun in 1934 and completed in 1937. Over that time
750 artists turned out an estimated two million drawings and sketches for
a movie many Hollywood “insiders” had labeled “Disney’s folly”. Critics
said no-one would sit through a 90-minute cartoon, but Walt considered
Snow White to be an economic fact of life.
With the introduction of double features during the 1930s, short
cartoons were being squeezed out of the marketplace and relegated to
program fillers. Disney had nothing else to fall back on, so he took the
gamble, proved the critics wrong and made the movie masterpiece that
launched an entertainment empire.
After more than 50 years since its original release Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs looks wonderful thanks to an exhaustive and expensive
restoration process of both its visual and audio elements.
Joining Pinocchio and Fantasia, Snow White is the final jewel in the
Disney crown of animated classics available on home video.
In addition to the general release version of Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs a special deluxe limited edition is also available on both
videocassette and laserdisc. (Rated G)
Among the week's other new releases is The Hudsucker Proxy ****
(Wamer) the latest film from the writing, producing and directing team of
Joel and Ethan Coen (Barton Fink/Miller’s Crossing). This biting satire of
the world of corporate greed follows a mail clerk and idiot first class (Tim
Robbins) as he is promoted to president of the company. The hope is that
this twit will send stock prices tumbling so the chairman of the board
(Paul Newman; can gain control of the company.
This dark and slightly twisted film is immensely funny and without a
doubt one of the year’s best films. (Rated PG)
Also highly recommended is Guarding Tess ***1/2 (Columbia/Tristar)
an entertaining, funny and touching drama about a secret service agent
assigned to protect a cantankerous former first lady. Both Nicholas Cage
and Shirley MacLaine are in top form and their characters are rich,
complex and very well written. (Rated PG-13)
While you may not have wanted to lay out $8 to see Jimmy Hollywood
*** (Paramount) at your local theatre, for the price of a more reasonable
video rental you can’t go wrong. This is actually a very good film
focusing on a struggling actor (Joe Pesci) living on the fringes of
Hollywood waiting for his big break. When a thief steals his car radio
Jimmy snaps and along with his slow witted friend (Christian Slater) finds
fame as a semi-come vigilante.
Directed by Barry Levinson. (Rated PG-13 - Some very rough
language)
If you’re looking for a chilling Halloween film or two to watch this
weekend I recommend Something Wicked This Way Comes **** (Buena
Vista - $19.95), the story of a small town visited by Mr. Dark’s
Pandemonium Carnival based on the novel by Ray Bradbury. (Rated PG)
And don’t forget Tim Burton’s delightful and recently released The
Nightmare Before Christmas **** (Touchstone - $22.95), the first movie
you can watch on either occasion. (Rated PG)
