Originally shown on Ted Turner's TNT Superstation last March,
Andersonville, ***(Tumer) chronicles the horror of the American Civil
War's most infamous prison camp. Unlike the previous and mammoth
Gettysburg this film is more intimate, but no less gut-wrenching, in its
depiction of those whose ordeal was just beginning the moment they were
taken prisoner. Despite being designed for only 8,000 men, Andersonville
held over 30,000 of which more than 100 died each day during the
summer of 1864. Although Andersonville lacks the all-star cast of
Gettysburg I found this a plus which draws our attention to the characters
who are, for the most part, free of the stardom that sometimes gets in the
way of a performance. Clocking in at just under three hours the film is
directed by John Frankenheimer The Manchurian Candidate, The
Birdman of Alcatraz and stars Fredrick Forrest, Jarrod Emick and Ted
Marcoux. (Unrated — but I would think it is a possible 14A).
Unforgettable *** (MGM/UA) is a suspense thriller about a coroner
(Ray Liotta) accused of murdering his wife, who injects himself with an
experimental serum that allows him to relive her murder and those of
several others. Although the film is a combination of numerous movie
plots I still thought it was alright, even if I did guess the killer before the
end. (Rated R — some rough language and violence)
After years of so-so video transfers MCA is finally making American
Graffiti ****(MCA/Universal - $44.95 or less) available in a beautiful
widescreen version, if only on laserdisc. This George Lucas "coming of
age" classic came out of nowhere to become one of the biggest hits of
1973. Hopefully MCA will decide to issue American Graffiti in the
widescreen format on videocassette as well. If seems many people arc
finally beginning to realize just how much they are missing when
widescreen films are cropped for television and thanks to larger video
screens the black bars at the top and bottom of the picture are more
acceptable. MCA had released some films like Apollo 13, Jurassic Park,
Jaws, Spartacus and Waterworld and plans are underfoot for a widescreen
edition of ET this October.
Other studios are also finding a demand for these editions with
Paramount releasing Braveheart and Fox Video offering Speed, Last of the
Mohicans, True Lies, the special director's cut of The Abyss and The
Sound of Music.
Among the other new releases available this week is Screamers
(Columbia/Tristar) a sci-fi thriller about blade-wielding killing machines
that populate a vast wasteland. (Rated 14A)
Al Pacino stars in Two Bits (Alliance) as a feisty grandfather who gives
his grandson life lessons. (Rated PG)
TV's Olson twins are back in flow The West Was Fun (Warner - $24.95
or less) which I'm sure their fans will be happy to hear. (Rated G or at the
most PG)
Fans of the late Brandon Lee will no doubt be interested in the special
collector's edition of The Crow ** (C/FP - $14.95 or less) which features
new packaging and Lee's last on camera interview before his untimely
death. (Rated R)

Paul Anka's 'Amigos Tour' comes to Kitchener
Singer. Songwriter. Legendary
showman. His name on a marquee
spells excitement, and his name is
Paul Anka.
Paul Anka brings his 'Amigos
Tour to Kitchener's The Centre In
The Square for just one
performance on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
Tickets go on sale on Monday, July
22 at The Centre's box office.
Celebrating almost 40 years in
show business, Anka is a true
living legend, not only in Las
Vegas and Atlantic City, but on
concert stages throughout the
world. He has achieved success in
every musical venue: stage,
television, film and recording. His
songs are known all over the world
and have been recorded by some of
the greatest names in the
entertainment industry.
Anka is one of the few artists in
history to have,a record on the
charts-for four consecutive decades
and was named Billboard
Magazine's 21st most successful
artist in history, putting him
alongside music greats Elvis
Presley and the Beatles.
Raised in Ottawa, Anka
discovered an early talent for
writing which he further developed
through school courses in English
and journalism. His life would
forever be altered, however, when a
course in music opened. His first
song, Diana has sold, to date, more
than 20 million copies. By age 16
his career as an international teen
idol had been launched.
With well over 800 songs to his
credit, Anka's most. memorable
include Put Your Head On My
Shoulder, My Way, Lonely Boy,
Puppy Love, Having My Baby, You
Are My Destiny, and 1 Don't Want
To Sleep Alone.
Since the inception of his career,
Anka's songs have been performed
well over 90 million times
worldwide. His LP and single sales
collectively are now over the 42
million mark.
Anka's tremendous contributions
to the entertainment industry have
earned him numerous awards and
special recognitions. In addition to
performing for heads of state, he
has been honoured by the French
government, who made him
Chevalier In The Order of Arts and
Letters. Most recently, he was
elected to The Songwriter's Hall of
Fame by the National Academy Of
Popular Music. This career-
crowning induction took place in
New York City as Anka was
welcomed into the Hall of Fame
alongside Keith Richards and Mick
Jagger of the Rolling Stones, Ray
Charles and Motown founder Berry
Gordy, Jr.
As an actor, Anka made hiss
motion picture debut in 1962 with
the award-winning movie The
Dungannon Drain Works contin-
ues to be a topic for ,discussion at
West Wawanosh council meetings
as landowners declared their dis-
pleasure at the July 2 session.
Bonnie and Claire Hodges told
council of problems resulting from
the works project. Water was run-
ning from other properties and
pooling in their weeping beds, a
four inch, old, cut-off tile drain was
found to the east of their house and
the surveyed property stakes were
removed as was three to four feet
of their front yard.
Road Superintendent George
Humphries was given authorization
to rectify the problems.
The minutes from the previous
meeting were amended to state that
"Mr. McCormick met with council
to voice his disappointment in
council's decision to have his two
lots (4-4-45 and 4-4-48) remain as
two separate assessments for the
Dungannon Drain Works."
The township solicitor was
directed to contact the bonding
agency for D'Amore Construction
to request an extension of the Per-
formance Bond, until all matters_
pertaining to the Dungannon Drain
Works are satisfactorily resolved.
A bylaw was passed to remove
the holding symbol from the zoning
on Register Plan 230, Lots 107 to
112 and Part Lot 13, Conc. 5.
A bylaw to enter into a road user
agreement with Northern Cross
Pipelines Ltd., was passed.
A $20 fee will be charged for
Treasurer's Tax Certificates,
regarding tax arrears.
Jeff King will succeed Joseph
Hanna as drainage superintendent
and Karl McNaughton will assume

to the Blyth and District Communi-
ty Centre board, suggesting that
West Wawanosh residents be treat-
ed as other participants from out-
side the jurisdiction.
A proposal from Colborne Twp.
regarding fire coverage for a por-
tion of the township, from the
Blyth and Area Fire Department,
was supported by council:

Between 1979 - 1993, a larger area
of Canada's commercial forests was
affected by fire, insect and disease
than by harvesting. On average,
natural disturbances affected 1.3
million hectares each year (0.6 per
cent of commercial forest land),
and harvesting was carried out on
887,000 hectares (0.4 per cent, or
0.2 per cent of total forest land).
