The exception is some types of dried banana chips where one ounce can contain as much as 10 grams of f8t. This is because some banana chips are deep fried in saturated oils. Safe storage of the medications in your home is very important. Check your bedside table... Any medications there? Not a good place especial- ly if your own children or visiting grandchildren find them. Always keep all medication out of the reach of children. Ear pain when flying is caused by changes in cabin pressure, usually when the plane is descending. A decongestant taken orally about one hour before landing is helpful to keep the ears open. Decongestant nose drops can help, too. Use caution with decongestants if you have high blood pressure. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and is eliminated from the body in about 12 hours. It's better to take Vitamin C doses twice a day to keep your blood levels more constant. HURON APOTHECARY Ltd.

FA MTT ,Y Stephen Central students review West Side Story The T -A wanted to know how some of the other members of the audience felt about the opening perfor- mance of West Side Story at the Huron Country Playhouse. The students from Stephen Central Public School attended the play and want to share their reviews. Enjoyed the Choreography Police car Pleasantly Violence not surprise end well done unexpected surprised the answer I think that the West Side Story teaches that when you need to solve problems, violence won't do it. Instead of fighting things can be solved by talking them over. Violence just gets you into more trouble. The part I liked best was at the end. It was a surprise ending. Michelle Finkbeiner Grade 8 From watching the play West Side Story, I learned that fighting never solves anything; somebody always gets hurt. My favorite part was at the dance when all the gang members were dancing. The choreography was very well done. The whole produc- tion was really well done. Janice Evans Grade 7 West Side Story was about two gangs fighting over land. One gang was from Puerto Rico and another was from the United States. An American member fell in love with a Puerto Rican girl named Maria. My favorite part was when they brought a police car on the stage. I wasn't expecting that. Elisha Martene Grade 6 'The story was about an American boy named Tony and a Puerto Ri- can girl named Maria, who fell in love at a dance. THe only problem was that there was to be a big fight between the Puerto Ricans and the Americans. I liked where they brought the po- lice car on stage. I didn't think that I would like the show as much as I did. It was very good. Cal deLange - Grade 6 West Side Story taught me that when it comes to violence, it doesn't solve anything. Instead of using violence to solve things, try to talk things out. The parts I liked best were when the Jets were singing, dancing and acting with comedy near the end.

LAW! and Best Wishes Mom, Dad, Yvette , Mary, Marc & Terry West Side Story runs at Playhouse Wednesday's opening night performance offers a very promising season Ingrid Nielsen T -A Staff GRAND BEND - "Tonight, to- night - it all began tonight." When these words flowed melodically from Maria, played by Janet Chong, at Wednesday night's opening performance of West Side Story at the Huron Country Playhouse, they held a double meaning as this night marked the be- ginning of their 24th season. This year follows an extremely successful season in 1994. There were 67,000 tickets sold last year, with a record-breaking filled to 94 per cent capacity. Last season also marked the one million dollar mark for the popular Grand Bend attraction. West Side Story proved to be an excellent choice for opening night as it sprang to life with powerful performances, heart -wrenching scenes, and dozens of songs that had the audience captivated. ga for becau all 1 has a mature theme and some dif- ficult scenes for young eyes, it is definitely suitable for the whole family. It is very honest about issues like prejudice and sexism, and offers "a good think" for the car ride home. This play is full of experienced per- formers. Tremblay was one of the orig- inal Siamese in the Canadian pro- duction of "Cats", and has played in "Cabaret" in Paris and Rome. Ramyr-Pascual is in Canada after doing a world tour of West Side Story, where he played Chino, an- other Sharks gang member. Chong hails from the original Canadian production of Miss Saigon. This play was directed and cho- reographed by Max Reimer, with assistant choreographer Leigh Torl- age, who also gave a powerful per- formance as Graziella, Riffs girl- friend. This is Reimer's third season with the Playhouse. The rival ngs fight the street se , "It's we got." The popular story is a modern rendition of Romeo and Juliet, set in the New York slums with the ri- vals being the Puerto Rican and the "Americans". The rival gangs, thb Sharks and the Jets, fight for a piece of the street because as Riff, played by Robin Blake, says, "It's all we got." As in Romeo and Juliet, two of the young characters fall in love and the only problem is that they are from two different sides of the street. In a humbling portrayal of hatred and ignorance, this story re- minds us that racism is not only a part of our history but also follows each new generation as an evil in- heritance from the past. Maria, Bernardo's sister, falls in love with Tony, Riffs best friend, played by Christopher Shyer. Both actors are excellent in their por- trayal of the lovestruck couple. One of the strongest per- formances was by Lyne Tremblay, who played Anita, the girlfriend of the leader of the Sharks, Bernardo, played by Joseph Ramyr-Pascual. Her role is "big sister" to Maria, and though she is by far the tough- est woman in the show, even she can't stop the love growing be- tween Maria and Tony. Tremblay was part of one of the most powerful scenes of the night, "America", Anita and Bernardo debate the good and bad of living in America, with the whole gang splitting between the guys and the "chicks". Another strong performance was demonstrated by Aviva Hoffman who played Anybodys, a young girl who desperately wants to be part of the Jets but is ignored be- cause she isn't a guy. While at first, Hoffman came across a little too strong to the point of distraction, by the second half, she had everyone's attention in a much a better way. She proved to have the most beautiful voice of the evening when she sang "Somewhere" after the rum- ble. While some might feel this play Music Director for this per- formance was John M. Karr. He has been with the Playhouse for four seasons. Have a news tip? Call the Times -Advocate 235-1331 Dixon Fruit Farm P.Y.O. Strawberries only 500 a quart Ready Now 2 large patches.
