This week's new releases are sure to cover a wide range of tastes.
Leading the list is The Road to Wellville *1/2 (ColumbiafTristar), a less
than successful satire centering on a turn-of-the-century health and fitness
sanitarium run by the real life Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (Anthony
Hopkins), the man who invented corn flakes. Even though this film is
being sold as a comedy the only words I can come up with to describe it
are rude, crude and unpleasant. The cast, in addition to Anthony Hopkins,
includes Matthew Brodrick, Bridget Fonda, John Cusack and Dana
Garvey. (Rated R)
Homegrown terrorism is the subject of October *** (C/FP), a drama
about the 1970 kidnapping and subsequent murder of Quebec Minister of
Labour Pierre La Porte by the FLQ. The film follows the day by day lives
of the five men involved revealing their doubts, hopes, fears and
convictions. October makes for very interesting viewing especially in
light of recent terrorist attacks around the world. (Rated PG-13)
Also recommended is The Slingshot ***1/2 (C/FP), a very good coming
of age drama from Sweden. The story focuses on 12-year-old Roland, his
Russian Jewish mother and Swedish Socialist father as they cope with life
in a society that considers the mother's religion blasphemy and father's
politics to be treason. Recommended! (Rated R)
In 1922, movie audiences lined up to see Nanook of the North, one of
the wold's first documentary films. Now, a new movie called Kabloonak
"1/2 (C/FP) tells how this legendary film was made. While the story is
an interesting one, unfortunately the pacing is a little too slow for my
liking which caused my thumb to press down on the vcr's fast scan button
a couple of times.
Still, Kabloonak is worth a look as is the original Nanook of the North
***1/2 (Morningstar), which follows an Eskimo family as they battle the
elements to survive in a hostile environment. While Nanook is often
proclaimed to be the first documentary movie in film history it was
preceded by others most notably Herbert Ponting's 90 South ****
(Milestone), a memorable 1913 film record of Captain Robert Scott's
tragic race to the South Pole and Edward S. Curtis's drama of the
Kwakiutl Indians, In The Land of the War Canoe ***1/2 (Milestone)
filmed in 1914.
As the world commemorates the 50th anniversary of VE Day, the end of
World War II in Europe, the National Film Board offers Canada
Remembers a trilogy of programs detailing this country's involvement in
that massive conflict. In case you missed this program when it ran on
CBC last week, Morningstar Entertainment is offering Canada
Remeers on home video.

Grey Central Echo
Singers take top spots at festival
Grey Central is planning a very
special "Family and Friends' Day"
on Friday, May 5. Each student
may invite one adult guest to visit
the school during the day. The
students will act as host showing
their guests around the school and
the environmental classroom
(weather permitting). Skipping
demonstrations, poetry reading and
musical presentations will also be
featured.
Last Thursday, Mrs. Irwin and
the skipping team visited Falstaff
school in Stratford to put on their
demonstration. They will also be
performing for our school on May
4 and for the visiting school board

This week we are hoping to start
two-pitch at noon hour. It involves
Grades 4 to 8. We are sure it will
be a lot of fun.
We would like to thank all
members on Monday, May 8.
Last week Mrs. Whitmore and
Mr. Colquhoun saw the results of
many hours of practise as they
participated in the Kiwanis Music
Festival in Stratford. By the end of
the competition Grey Central pupils
had won two firsts, five seconds
and six third place certificates for
their singing. A job well done!
The Grey Central Steering
Committee planned a mammoth
planting day for the pupils in
Grades 5 and 6. A hedgerow along
the back portion of the soccer field
was planted with a variety of
shrubs and trees.
Last Friday was a holiday for the
pupils while the teachers partici-
secretaries and especially Mrs.
Prior, our secretary, on Secretaries
Day for all her hard work over, the
years.
On Monday the Grade 7/8 class
went to Goderich. We went to the
court house for the morning and
pared in a Professional Develop-
ment Day at Exeter. Cathy
Shaunesy, the keynote speaker,
spoke on how to view the daily
challenges while maintaining your
energy level and remaining stress
free. Many interesting workshops
were available which dealt with
related topics.
The pupils in Grades 3 to 6 plus
the Early Years group B have been
busy practising for the Spring
Concert. The concert was held on
May 3 (today).
FEATURING
MRS. MCKEE'S ROOM

Bronwyn Dunbar
This has been a very eventful
afterwards talked to Judge Hunter
about the cases. It was a bit boring
listening to the cases but when the
witnesses were testifying, it
became more interesting. From
there we had lunch and finished the
day with a walk on the beach. We
were looking for stones and rocks
for a later art project.
Recently the Grade 6/7 teacher,
Mr. Wanless purchased a Worm
Factory. What they will do is
process leftover meat scraps from
the students' lunch. Mr. Wanless
hopes to get each classroom a
factory of worms by 1996.
Mrs. Uhler and her Grade 4 class
recycled boxes and made some box
sculptures. They all looked great.
Last week Sheila Cousins helped
the B kindergarten class make
kites. And sometime this month she
will be back to help the A class
make wind socks. We're sure they
will have fun.
Also last week Mrs. Hall and
Mrs. Cousins attended a workshop
in Stratford. The main focus was on
identifying learning difficulties and
developing helpful learning
strategies for young children. We
are sure this will help them.
Mrs. Clark's class were writing
stories about the Earth.

year in room 10. In the past month
our beloved teacher Mr. Braun
Transferred to Howick Public
School, due to a lack of a band
leader. In his place Mrs. McKee
took over the responsibility of
educating our Grade 7/8 class. She
has been doing a remarkable job!
We recently got penpals from a
school in Bolton, Ontario. This
experience will help increase our
knowledge of other students our
age and improve writing skills.
Everyone in our class is excited!
In Math we are studying
Geometry and the Pythagoras
Theorem. It is really interesting.
In Self and Society we are
studying travel and tourism. We are
learning about the Caribbean. So
far we have made graphs, maps,
and surveys about the 5 W's of
travel.
The Kiwanis Music Festival was
held. There were six students at the
festival with their duet partners.
Michelle Lichty, Darlene Heming-
way, Becky Rapson, Heather
Damen, Crystal Semple and
Bronwyn Dunbar sang their double
trio Orpheus With His Lute also.
The Grade 7s have just finished
selling pizzas to raise money to put
towards their trip to Quebec. The
students will be in Quebec four
days and then in Kingston for two
days in June. This trip has been
much anticipated and will help the
students increase their French
knowledge.
For the Grade 8s, a trip to
Toronto is in the planning stages.
We are hoping to visit the Science
Centre, CN Tower and other places
of interest.
In Science the 7/8 class is
studying a unit on force and
motion. We are learning about
force, gravity, motion, electricity,
etc.
That pretty much sums up what
our class has been doing for the
past month. We hope the rest of the
year will be just as great!
