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. video F.A.X. IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY . J.R.'S GAS BAR elf TAKE OUT LTD.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MM 3,1995. 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 By Philip Graber and Terry Nichol 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 By Tim Van Veen and 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. Did you know that nine out of 10 people considered blind do have some useful vision? 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! n BUCK & DOE tor Heather Alce John Steffler Friday, May 12, 1995 Lunch Provided 9 pm - 1 am $5.00 per person For more information or Tickets Call: 527-282 1 or 527-2438 NOW OPEN Saturday & Sunday or breakfast & light lunches 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. May - Sept.
