By John Schedler
This week's best bet among the new releases is Fargo ****(Polygram),
a quirky crime film from brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. This stylish film
involves a deeply in debt car salesman (William H. Macy) who hires two
low rent thugs (Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife hoping
her wealthy father will come up with the ransom which he will split with
the kidnappers. Of course the plot falls apart almost from the start when
the incompetent thugs unnecessarily kill three people, setting a savvy and
very pregnant police chief (Francis McDormand) on their trail. The tone
of this film is darkly humorous, but also shockingly violent when it needs
to be. Highly recommended. (Rated R)
If you enjoy this film why not check out the Coen brothers previous
gems like Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing
and The Hudsucker Proxy.
I also enjoyed Les Miserables: In Concert ****(Columbia/Tristar -
$24.95 or less) which was performed at London's Royal Albert Hall with a
cast of over 250 performers. Les Miserables is widely recognized as the
world's most popular musical having played over 22,000 performances to
a total of over 32 million people. While this production has played on your
local PBS station in the past year, it has always been accompanied by
pledge breaks while they beg for funds. Now you can see it without those
annoying breaks and with 12 additional minutes of footage never
broadcast. This program is also available on laserdisc where chapter stops
allow random access to any musical number at the press of a button.
Highly enjoyable. (Unrated)
Among the other new releases you will find The Great White Hype
(Fox) starring Samuel L. Jackson as a flashy boxing promoter who
engineers a black on white prizefight in this critically well received satire.
(Rated R)
Steven Spielberg's ET: The Extra-Terrestrial **** (MCA/Universal) is
back and as far as I am concerned quite welcome. This magnificent film is
for everyone and at around $12 is a must have addition to your library. It
has now been newly remastered to THX standards. Both the regular and
widescreen versions also include recent interviews with Spielberg and the
cast in addition to a behind-the-scenes documentary. The deluxe laserdisc
which contains much more material should be available in the next couple
of weeks. (Rated 0)
I'm also looking forward to the 25th Anniversary edition of Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory **** (Warner - $19.98 or less) a witty musical
adaptation of Roald Dahi's classic children's book that is a sheer delight.
Among the many pleasures of this film is a great cast highlighted by Geer,
Jack Albertson, Peter Ostrum and Roy Kinnear as well as a terrific
Anthony Newley-Leslie Bricusse music score including Candy Man
which Sammy Davis Jr. made into a big hit. Available in true stereo for
the first time. Recommended for everyone, not just kids. (Rated G)

SPORTS
By Kendra Hopper
The 1996 Tennis Team was
headed by Ms Schofield. They have
been practising hard daily
beginning Sept. 4.
The team consists of: ladies'
singles, Richie Ople; ladies'
doubles, Denise Kikkert and
Lindsay Kulas; men's doubles,
Jarret Griffith and Mark Gibson;
Pahl Clugston and Matt Snow;
mixed doubles, Dave Laing and
Erica Wright; Lucas Carson and
Jennifer Gowing.
This year's team had high hopes
for the Huron-Perth Tennis
Championship held on Wednesday,
Sept. 25. The championship was
put on by the Stratford Tennis
Club, and it was a single-
elimination tournament. Single-
elimination means if you or your
team lose only one set, you are out
of the tournament.
The tennis team performed
amazingly. Richie Ople advanced
as far as the semi-finals in the
ladies' singles. Jarret Griffith and
Mark Gibson ended up one point
away of forcing a tie-breaker with
the eventual gold medalists.
Congratulations goes out .to Eric
Wright and Dave Laing who will
advance to WOSSA on Oct. 8, in
Tillsonburg. They ended up with
only one loss all day.
Congratulations to all the players.
Well done everyone!
The F.E. Madill Gold Team
participated in one tournament this
1996 season. The Huron-Perth Golf
Championship took place on
Thursday, Sept. 19 at the Sunset
Golf Club in Godcrich. The Madill
boys' golf team came in ninth
overall out of 11 teams.
The team is coached by Mr. Neil
and consists of: Adam LaChance,
Danny Cline, Chris Cameron,
Jeremy Campbell and Tom Pfeifer.
Adam LaChance had the best score
for Madill in the tournament,
Mitchell District Secondary
School took the win for the boys'
tournament and Listowel District
Secondary School finished with the
girls' title. There were seven girls'
teams present at this tournament.
There were 13 people who signed
up for the Madill Golf Team, and a
mini-tournament was held at the
Wingham Golf and Curling Club
on Friday, Sept. 13 to determine
who would be on the team.
Neil is hoping some girls will come
out next year and play. He would
also like to thank the boys for a
great season.

Madill's cheerleaders are back
and off to a great start say coaches
Dianne Ross and Kim Snowden.
Dianne, 20 and Kim, 22, are both
graduates from Madill and former
cheerleaders themselves.
The coaches said this year's team
is "hardworking, dedicated and a
spirited group of girls who work
well as a team". The team includes:
Julie Chippa, Shannon Cook,
Jessica Fraser, Leeann Haggitt,
Michelle Kennedy, Michelle King,
Angie O'Neil, Holly Park, Michelle
Pletch, Tracey Robinson, Tyler
Seeds, Shelley Skinn, Christa

This year will be Dianne's second
year coaching the team. She said
last year, "for such a short time
period the cheerleaders rocked".
This is Kim's first coaching for
Madill. Both say they want big
things to happen for the girls .and
they expect everyone's full
potential this year.
The team has been invited to
PCIC in December. In February
they are in a Regionals competition
and in May they will be attending
"All Ontario's" competition.
Parents and friends are welcome
to come out and watch the girls as
they perform a variety of stunts and
cheers. Practices started two weeks
ago, and are held every Wednesday
from 3:30 - 5:30 at F.E. Madill.
Dianne and Kim said, "We are
