Home My WebLink AboutThe Citizen, 1995-04-19, Page 18Out of reach A member of the Seaforth District High School Senior Girls soccer team attempts to kick the ball out of the reach of the approaching Madill player during the action in the April 11 game in Wingham. The home team defeated SDHS 1-0 with Julie Kikkert scoring the lone goal. Shutout honours were shared by Madill goalies Kikkert and Shelley Johnston. On April 13 Madill was on the losing side being defeated 1-0 by a visiting South Huron District High School team. Hi everybody! My name is Collin Whitfield and on April 20th I will officially enter my terrible twos. My Mom and Dad (Lisa & Kurt) and my big sister Kendall say I already have a good head start, but I'm just an extra busy boy. We're having a dinosaur party to celebrate at my Aunt Lynn and Uncle Darryl's house, I can hardly wait! See you next year, Love Collin. By John Schedler This week's new releases are highlighted by more Oscar winners and nominees. Leading the list is Ed Wood *"1/2 (Touchstone), an engaging movie about one of the worst filmmakers of all time. When I heard that Tim Burton (Batman) was considering making this movie my first reaction was why? After all Ed Wood is hardly a household name (except among fans of bad movies) and the decision to film it in black and white (although appropriate) could only diminish its chances of success. While the movie, to be kind, was a box office disaster, artistically it was quite successful. Ed Wood has a wonky charm that I found irresistible thanks mainly to Johnny Depp's cherry never say die performance as Wood and Martin Landau's well deserved Oscar winning turn as down- and-out screen legend Bela Lugosi. (Rated R - mostly for some totally unnecessary foul language) Still recommended! If you like Tim Burton's film then maybe you might like to also check out Ed Wood's original films. Rhino Video offers most of them including Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster, Jail Bait and of course the movie voted worst film of all time, Plan 9 From Outer Space. Maybe the reason for the box office failure of Quiz Show **** (Hollywood) lies in the fact that for most people today the thought of getting worked up over dishonesty on a television quiz show is hardly worth their time. But, back in the late 1950s when families gathered around their television set every week for game shows like Twenty One and The $64,000 Dollar Question the notion that they were rigged was shocking. The film's director Robert Redford notes "It may sound peculiar to us today that a quiz show scandal could have provoked such an outrage, but it was really the first in a series of disillusionments that violated our sense of trust." One of the year's best films, Quiz Show ably demonstrates that without ethics the power of television can be extremely harmful to society in general. 'The cast includes Ralph Fennes (Schindler's List), Rob Morrow (Northern Exposure), Paul Scofield and John Turturro. (Rated PG-13) Highly Recommended! When Hoop Dreams **** (Alliance) was snubbed in the Academy Awards best documentary category numerous critics cried foul. The ensuing controversy even caused the Academy to re-evaluate the nominating procedure which has drawn fire several times over the last few years. On the plus side maybe the controversy will have the effect of more people checking out Hoop Dreams at their local video outlet. This outstanding film follows two inner city youths over a period of several years as they struggle to achieve their dream of playing basketball for the NBA. The almost three hour running time will fly by as you become involved in their lives. (Rated PG) Highly recommended! Laserdisc and animation fans will be interested in The World's Greatest Animation *** (Voyager), a wonderful two disc set in the CAV format. Included here 16 Oscar winners and nominees including Nick Park's Creature Comforts, Richard Condie's The Big Snit, Cordell Barker's The Cat Came Back and many others. While most of these shorts can be had in various packages from other companies this disc has the added bonus of opinionated audio commentaries by two leading animation experts in addition to still frame supplements on each film. This is indeed another winner from the rapidly expanding Criterion Collection. video F.A.X. IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY J.R.'S GAS BAR TAKE OUT LTD.

Elliott The Grade 7/8 class (Mr. Talbot's) were involved in different activities with Easter eggs, to celebrate Easter such as egg races and egg decorating. They had a lot of fun. This took place on Thursday, April 13. READING ALONE By Katie Snell Right now the students in Mr. Talbot's class are busy with their Individual Reading Program. The program includes reading a book and writing reports. Then after they are completed, they have a conference with Mr. Talbot. By Julie Cowan Both of the kindergarten classes have begun practising for their play "Mother Goose is Loose" which they will be performing at the spring concert on April 27. They have also been making arge rabbits and baskets for Easter. They drew faces on egg shells and they planted them in grass. Pretty soon they will need a haircut! SLICE OF HURON The Grade 3,4,5 classes at Hullett had a chance to go over to the Seaforth Agricultural Grounds on Wednesday, April 12 to take part in the "Slice of Huron" activities. Various agricultural displays were set up for the students to view. Since the students study agricul- tural units in their environmental program they gained considerable knowledge in dairy farming, turkey farming and pig farming. The students' activities centered around major themes (red meats, vege- tables, poultry, dairy farming, grains and tree planting). All in all, the students had an excellent day. Some of the students got a chance to even make sausage. In most cases the students were awed to find out first hand information on what goes on in the field of agriculture. A hearty thanks goes out from Hullett to the Slice of Huron planning committee for setting up such a wonderful program of agricultural activities. TIME AND TALENT AUCTION Hullett Central PS is putting on a time and talent auction to raise money for the school's new playground equipment. People have been greatly offering their time and talents, students included. Dona- tions are still needed however. The auction is being held at the school on April 29, starting at 7:30 p.m. SCIENCE FAIR By Christine Lapp On Wednesday, March 29 the Grade 7, 8 annual science fair was held. There were four people chosen from each classroom to go on to the next judge who was Mr. Harrison. He must have had a tough job trying to pick three out of the eight but somehow he managed it. The three chosen to go on to the County Science Fair were Meagan Jarrett (To Breathe or Not to Breathe, Fish) Stephanie Muehlethaler (Eggcellent Teeth) and Lyndsey Haak (Salt Damage on Plants). By Trevor Wilson and Kevin Mutter This week at BPS marks the fourth week of renovations which are going quite well. The painters have been working hard and have completed the job. Cassie Bootzin organized a colouring contest for Grades 2 and 3. The winners are Kent Lee, Tate Stephenson, Katherine Cameron and Emily Cardiff. We would like_ tothank all participants. The Parents' Association is offering a great deal on bicycle helmets. The bicycle helmets are very colourful and cost $15. Order one today because remember - the law is in effect as of Oct. 1. The BPS band played for the IOOF dinner at the BMG Community Centre on Wednesday, April 12. The band was excellent. Blyth class grows plants Continued from page 3 are focusing a rutabaga farming in the Blyth area and the Grade 3/4 class is seeding and growing plants in the classroom with many more activities to come. Huron sure is laden with agriculture of many types! GRADE 3/4 Mr. Perrie's class is growing plants. They have planted Russian climbing beans, corn, zinnias, pumpkins and corn. Micah took cuttings from an aloe vera and cactus plants. This is part of their study unit on plants. In French they are writing poems about pollution to prepare for Earth Day. The Grade 4 class is also doing an Environment French poster for the school fair. They are also learning about division and practising with flashcards in mathematics. Congratulations to our secretary Mrs. Watt who has a new baby boy. Thanks to the members who played. Mrs. Uhler's class went to Seaforth on Tuesday to see exhibits on agriculture. "We saw a baby calf being born" said Megan and Kyle. Crystal McLellan and Jessica Kessel found the old-fashioned PAGE 18. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1995.
