Lately I have been finding much more pleasure in smaller independent and foreign films that do not cater to audiences who measure a good film by the number of explosions per minute or by poorly written scripts that continually recycle the same old plots. Among the ones I would like to recommend this week is Smoke **** (Alliance), a wonderful independent film focusing on a group of characters whose lives intersect at a Brooklyn cigar store. Director Wayne Wag (The Joy Luck Club) and writer Paul Auster have collaborated here to tell these stories in a manner that's totally refreshing. The cast which includes Harvey Keitel, William Hurt, Forrest Whitaker, Harold Perrineau Jr., Stockard Charming and Ashley Judd is superb. Highly recommended! (Rated PG-13) Also worth checking out is Unstrung Heroes **** (Hollywood), the story of a 12-year-old (Nathan Watt) whose life is overwhelmed by a sick mother (Andie MacDowell) and odd ball inventor father (John Turturro). Running away from home to live with his two wildly eccentric uncles (Michael Richards and Maury Chaykin) he discovers the self-confidence necessary to come to terms with the idiosyncrasies of life. Unstrung Heroes is a fragile, bittersweet and genuinely moving film. Directed by Dianne Keaton. (Rated PG) I wish I could also recommend Cutthroat Island ** (Live) a throwback to those swashbuckling pirate movies I used to love as a kid. Unfortunately, while the film has a few good things to offer, on the whole the movie is badly acted especially by leads Geena Davis and Matthew Modine, although villain Frank Langella does have some fun with his role. Director Renne Marlin, not known for his subtley blows up everything in sight at the slightest provocation with most scenes and situations running far too long. YAWN! (Rated PG-13) A Vampire in Brooklyn *1/2 (Paramount) is Eddie Murphy's latest failed attempt at resurrecting his floundering career. This foul-mouthed comedy/drama about a vampire searching for a mate in the hood is a total waste of time. (Rated R) Other new and previewed releases this week include The Scarlet Letter (Hollywood), a poorly received reworking of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic. The cast includes Demi Moore, Gary Oldman and Robert Duvall. (Rated R) Demi Moore also produced and stars in Now and Then (Alliance), a comedy/drama about four women who recall their youth. Also in the cast are Melanie Griffith, Rosie O'Donnell, Christina Ricci and Thora Birch. (Rated PG) video .X. IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY... J.R.'S GAS BAR & TAKE OUT LTD.

The next euchre will be April 22. MRS. COCHRANE By Amanda Stratton On Friday, April 5, a new secretary, Jennifer Cochrane took over for Mrs. Bateman. Mrs. Cochrane was born in Sault Ste. Marie and attended nine different elementary schools because her father was a travelling salesman. She lived in cities from one coast to the other including Ottawa and Vancouver. Mrs. Cochrane went to high school in Stratford for four full years, however. After that, Mrs. Cochrane went to France for a year to learn French as part of a French class. While there, she stayed with a family as a live-in nanny. Mrs. Cochrane, aside from being secretary at Grey, is secretary for her husband's portable band saw mill making business. She also teaches Sunday School at the Ethel United Church. Mrs. Cochrane is not unfamiliar with Grey Central. She has, in the past, worked both in the resource room and in the kindergarten room. Also, she has three children who are currently attending Grey Central and one who has already graduated. Mrs. Cochrane thinks that the hardest part of her job here is remembering to do everything that has to be done throughout the day. She says the best part and what she enjoys most is being back at Grey. She likes being back with the people she worked with before and the kids, too. About her job in general, she says, "I like it," with a smile. I hope that Mrs. Cochrane will be able to stay at Grey Central doing as wonderful job as she is for a long time. FEATURING MRS. COLQUHOUN'S, MRS. ELGIE'S AND MRS. MARTIN'S CLASS By Vesna Milinkovic, Jaclyn Stafford, Stacy Stewart Mrs. Colquhoun's Mrs. Elgie's and Mrs. Martin's Grade 5/6 have diligently been working on a- variety of activities. In health class we have been studying about smoking and the effects of smoking. For instance if you smoke you may have a greater risk of serious health problems along with bad breath and wrinkles. In math we are working on ratios. Work centres about Ontario and Canada are keeping us busy in Language Arts. Mrs. Colquhoun has had us "flipping" and "sliding" in art. On April 23, Rodney Dammeier went to the Metro Toronto Zoo with the "Beyond the Bars" enrichment group. His task was to choose an animal and do a project on it. His animal was the "Tasmanian Devil". He spent the night at Hillside School and spent another day at the zoo. He was sorry when it was time to leave. He seriously recommends the Metro Zoo to anyone who is willing to drive to Toronto. On April 15, a "Light the Way Cafe" was held in the afternoon and evening for our parents. The program included a variety of poetry, choral speaking, dancing and acrobatics. One of the founding members of the "Light the Way Children's Fund", Mrs. Leslie Switzer, participated in the program with us. Our class in also going to participate in the Music Festival in Stratford on April 22 and 23. We hope we do a good job. On April 18 and 19 we are going on a trip to Amherstburg, Windsor, Dresden and London. Both Grade 5/6 classes are attending this trip. We are gbing to The North American Black Historical Museum in Amherstburg, Sandwich First Baptist Church in Windsor where we will have supper and then to Forester High School. Next morning we travel to Dresden to Uncle Tom's cabin. On the way home we will stop in London at McDonald's and we get home at 3:30 in time for buses. Everyone is excited about the trip. Fourteen parents are going to accompany us as well. On Wednesday, April 10, Mrs. Pam Tolmay came to visit both Grade 5 and 6 classes. Mrs. Tolmay is the minister at Atwood, Trowbridge and Donegal United Churches. She grew up in South Africa and she showed us slides of DOUG & EVELYN PURDY MARRIED APRIL 17, 1946 Congratulations Mom & Dad on your 50th Wedding Anniversary Love, Keith & Barb, Judy & John, Susan & Jim, Grandchildren and great-grandchildren GRADUATION Bradley Lamb son of Mary and Clifford Lamb of Mississauga graduated with honours from Devry Institute of Technology on February 23.
