This week's new releases offer something for almost every taste and
heading the list is A Walk in the Clouds ***1/2 (Fox), a sweet dream-like
romance from Mexican director Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate).
The story follows a returning World War II soldier (Keanu Reeves) who
poses as the husband of a young pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon)
returning to her family's Napa Valley vineyard to help with the harvest.
Others in the cast include Anthony Quinn, Giancarlo Giannini and
Angelica Aragon. Recommended! (Rated PG)
You also can't go wrong with The Run of the Country ****
(Columbia/Tristar) a superbly, crafted drama from director Peter Yates. Set
in Ireland, this coming of age story tells of a father (Albert Finney) and his
son (Matt Keesler) coming to terms with the sudden death of their
wife/mother. Complicating matters further is the son's relationship with a
beautiful young woman and a rough and tumble friend. (Rated R)
In Moonlight and Valentino **1/2 (Polygram) Elizabeth Perkins plays a
woman trying to recover from the sudden death of her husband. Despite a
good cast that also includes Whoopi Goldberg, Kathleen Turner and Jon
Bon Jovi the film seems to drag on forever. (Rated PG)
Among the other new and unpreviewed releases is The Brothers
McMullen (Fox), a romantic comedy/drama about three Irish Catholic
brothers who struggle to untangle their feeling about love, relationships
and family. Winner of the Best Picture award at the Sundance Film
Festival. (Rated 14A)
The action thriller Fair Game (Warner) stars William Baldwin as a
Miami cop protecting a lawyer (Cindy Crawford) on the lam from
assassins. Produced by action meister Joel Silver which I'm sure will mean
lots of big explosions. (Rated 14A)
Also worth checking out for you Quentin Tarantino fans is the
widescreen version of Pulp Fiction (Alliance) with an added 10 minutes
of footage. (Rated R)
In the classic movie department is my personal cticliqi as the best movie
of all-time. The Grapes of Wrath **** (Fox - $24.95 or less) is based on
John Steinbeck's epic novel of poverty and injustice during the great
depression. This magnificent film comes as close to true screen poetry as
any film has before or since. The casting is near perfect. Henry Fonda,
Jane Darwell, John Carradine, Russell Simpson, John Qualen and others
come across not as actors playing roles but, as real people. Directed by the
great John Ford, the film focuses on the Joad family and their journey
from the Oklahoma dust bowl to a hopefully better life in California.
(Unrated)

Students take home report cards
By Michael Comeau
and Michael Brewer
We extend sympathy to the
family of Mr. Ralph Wareham,
superintendent of schools, who
passed away suddenly on Feb. 28.
On Feb. 28 there was a public
speaking competition at the Legion.
BPS speakers were Justin Ruttan,
Megan and Tricia Teeft, Laurie
Prior, Amber Park and Nicole
Lowe. Our school would like to
thank the Legion for providing the
trophies for the winners.
Report cards came out on
Monday, March 4. We were all
happy that we got them.
Our school is going skating on
Thursday, March 7.
Kindergarten to 3 classes are
learning about health and nutrition.
Kindergarten is having a pancake
day for the nutrition. They are also
learning how to count money.
The Grade 2 class made a riddle
about health and nutrition. They
will read it to their reading buddies
and they have to guess what food
they are talking about. Buddies will
do the same with the primary
grades too.
They will also be cooking bread
in this project. They watched a
movie on germs called "Clean
Club."
Grade 3 is classifying food
groups. They are also writing a
story each about things that are in
the refrigerator.
We have a chess club. For
Mitchell Ortman chess is fun and
exciting. Matt Kroll thinks that
chess is the best game for him.
Justine King said it is fun.
For Intermediate floor hockey in
first place we have Barracudas with
15 points, the Dolphins in second
with 10 points, Sharks with 8
points, and Piranha in last place
with seven points. For the Juniors
the Canadiens are in the lead with
17 points, the Canucks second with
14 points, the Maple Leafs in third
place with nine points and last but
not least the Oilers with eight
points.
The School Advisory Council
meeting will be held March 6 at
7:30. Everyone is welcome to
attend.

On Wednesday, Feb. 15 the
Grades 1, 2 and 3s celebrated the
100th day of school by doing
activities. In Mrs. Douma's room
the children cut out 100 pictures of
capital As and small as, faces, and
foods, and then grouped them by
10s.
In Mrs. Clark's the students
counted out 100 kernels of popcorn
and estimated how high it would be
when all kernels were popped.
In Ms Anonech's classroom the
students estimated how many
children were in the three
classrooms, if there were higher
than 100 or lower or 100 students
right on. Then Mrs. Cousins taught
them 100 days songs.
To close the celebration all the
students gathered in the gym to
show off their crowns that had 100
things on them, and all the children
rotated through the activities.
Also on that day the Grades K-4
went skating at the arena from 1:15
to 2:15. Then the Grades 5-8 went
skating from 2:15 to 3:15.
Magazine sales did great!
Winners in the pull tabs for t-shirts
are Betty Bodfield, Richelle
Jorritsma, Tim Harrison, Jennifer
McDonald and Jennifer Cowan.
Pizza winners are Ashley Keffer,
Samantha Thomas, Troy Backhaus,
Lesley Pepper, Tricia Teeft, Katie

On Feb. 16, Mrs. Thomas came
to the school and gave all the
students their measle vaccinations.

there was Daren Armstrong, Pauline
Blok and Mike Neeb. The third place
team consisted of four players. They
were Jason 1-loggart, Mandy Dunbar,

the arena to us.

The school would like to thank all
the parent helpers Mary Jean Bell,
Annette Stephenson, Lynn
Armstrong, Abi Corbett, Joyce
Johnston, Marion Sellers, Val

Harrison. The children were very
good, we didn't hear screaming at
all. The grades K-8 got the needle
to help wipe the measles out.
Nancy Walker also contributed
suckers for students.
The Grade 7 and 8 students in
Mrs. Perrie's class have been
engaged in Media Studies. They are
now working on comics and we
have to design our own. On Feb. 15
they also celebrated Flag day and
drew their own flags.
On Feb. 14 the school advisory
council met to discuss what to buy
for all students' use in the school.
They decided to put $1,000 towards
a video camera and a tripod. They
also decided to make a cook book
to sell as a fundraiser for the school
year. The council is also making
new bylaws.
