The wedding will take place June 8, 1996 at Immaculate Conception Church, Formosa. Open reception to be held in BMG Community Centre. By John Schedler Without a doubt the week's best new release is To Die For **** (Columbia/Tristar), a dandy black comedy/drama about a cable tv weatherwoman who will do anything to be a TV personality even if it requires having her loving husband (Matt Dillon) murdered. Nicole Kidman is simply perfect as the narcissistic young woman and Buck Henry's smart script is turned into classic film noir by director Gus Van Sant. Highly recommended! (Rated 14A) A couple of years ago a highly enjoyable low budget thriller called Tremors did reasonable business at the box-office and even better on home video. Reminiscent of those classic giant creatures run amok films so popular in the 1950s, the film's wonky charm and exciting thrills demanded a sequel which shows up as a direct to video release this week. Tremors 2: Aftershocks *** (MCA/Universal) turns out to be just as much fun as the original with those giant underground worms back again this time to terrorize a remote Mexican oil field. Kevin Bacon who co- starred in the original has gone on to bigger film roles but returning are character actor Fred Ward and TV's Michael Gross along with Helen Shaver and Christopher Gartin. Very enjoyable especially if you like this kind of movie. (Rated PG) Among the other new and unpreviewed releases is The Innocent (Alliance) a cold war thriller starring Anthony Hopkins, Isabella Rossellini and Campbell Scott. (Rated R) The critically acclaimed Persuasion (Malofilm) is yet another new film based on the works of Jane Austen. This one tells of a couple's second chance at love and was produced by England's Royal Shakespeare Company. (Rated PG) In the classic movie department is a newly remastered version of Sunset Boulevard **** (Paramount - $19.95 or less) director Billy Wilder's acid drama about a faded silent film star (Gloria Swanson) and the down on his luck writer (William Holden) who uses her to get ahead. Also in the cast are Erich Von Stroheim, Cecil B. DeMille, Buster Keaton and many others. Outstanding! (Rated PG) Vide( .X. IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY. J.R.'S GAS BAR & TAKE OUT LTD.

GUESS WHO'S CELEBRATING THE 11TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER 39TH BIRTHDAY! Love, from all your families PAGE 22. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1996 Brussels PS news Grade 3 students say CAT tests hard By Betty BoneId and Amanda van Beek The Grade 3 class had C CAT tests on Monday and Tuesday. We were talking to four Grade 3 students and here's what they had to say. Brent Wheeler said "Most questions were hard, and some were easy. I think it was really fun and interesting, I guess that I gained some very interesting information." Candice McLellan said, "Some questions on the test seemed to be really easy and some of the questions were really hard. I'm sure that I had learned something. Sure it was long, but it was still fun." Laurin Hoegy says, "The test was' long and boring but I guess it was fun. During this test I learned new stuff." Tyler Jutzi said, "I think that this test was really easy. I believe that I didn't learn much because I knew almost everything that wasaon the test." All of the Grade 3s would like to thank Mrs. Barnes for all the work that she has done on giving them their C CAT tests. The first half of the Grade 7/8 class went to Janna Speers to learn how to cook Chinese food. Cody Nichol said, "We learned how to cook egg foo young, stir fry, soup, April 22 marks the beginning of Earth Week, and thus fitting that the topic of the Huron County Elementary Teachers' Professional Development Day, on April 26 be entitled "Reach Out: Bringing The World to Your Classroom". This learning day for teachers will be held at F. E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham, with some afternoon computer or environmen- tal sessions to take place at the Learning Resource Centre, Goderich District Collegiate Institute, Zurich Public School and Grey Central School. The ongoing Global Education Committee of the Huron County Board of Education has been operating for two years and even publishes its own newsletter. It has had major input into the Profes- sional Development activities this year, and members are among the 46 presenters, who will be giving the teachers an eye-opening and thought-provoking global perspec- tive on education. Topics for the day include human rights, the environment, multi- culturalism and anti-racism, and technology - all of which have global implications. Speakers and presenters include teachers, members of the business and agri- cultural community, people from environmental, natural resources and social service agencies. Groups such as Project Overseas, the Food Grains Bank, Red Cross, the Armed Forces, exchange groups, Children from Chernobyl and rice and tea. It was a different experience for me." Tyler Bragg said, "I think it was fun learning how to cook Chinese food. I learned that Chinese people drink tea with no sugar. The soup was good. I can't eat with chopsticks." The kindergarten class had really got into the spirit of Easter. They have already coloured Easter eggs, made big paper eggs, made Easter baskets, and stand up Easter bunnies- and gone on an Easter egg hunt. They are doing a safe program to teach the children about how to deal with abuse at a young age which is good so that when they are older they will know what to do about it. They are also teaching them not to talk to strangers. The winners of The Ark poster contest were Nicole White, first and Nicki Mason, second. Amnesty International will also showcase programs and present storefront activities. Peter Butler, the keynote speaker, will address the topic "This is Chaos! - making sense of it and thriving on it!" He will briefly reflect on issues that are affecting teachers and give some hints on survival, on framing what's important to the profession, and on creating initiatives and oppor- tunities to produce a renewed commitment to the profession in the future. Wilhelmina Laurie,. president of the Huron Women Teachers - Federation says, "At this turning point in our history, we need to - take a great leap forward to fix the planet and its problems. The most essential decision that any individual, social grouping, religion or government can now make is to begin to think of every aspect of life from a global perspective. Every person on our earth must take social responsibility for it and for our fellow human beings. A creative challenge is being issued to all sensitive people on this planet to link the fundamentals of education to the survival of the planet." Parents and community members are invited to attend any or some of the workshops, storefronts or resource fair by registering at F. E. Madill at 8:30 on the professional activity day. The Grade 7-8 class is enlarging cartoon characters using the grid method. At this point in time we are getting good results. We would like to congratulate Cassie Bootzin and Marty Goetz for winning in the safety poster contest. Brussels Public School enters Cyberspace.
