Page 12, News, Tuesday, January 22, 1991 Carolyn's Critique Silent Night, Deadly Night TI Rating: 0 poor......10 Excellent Once again, we have a cheap sequel ripoff. Not that the first two were any great shakes, but at least there seemed to be a plot. Ricky Caldwell, the man responsible for the Santa Claus killings, is back, but this time he's ina coma. He's been in one for 6 years. (The cops filled him full of holes at the end of part 2) Enter Dr. Newbury. He's a scientific experimenter. He and his team surgically recon- structed Ricky's brain and sort of jump-started his memory. (Now here's a guy with a memory that's worth spending thousands of dollars to pre- serve right?) Newbury has hired Laura, a young girl who went blind and. developed psychic powers in the plane crash that killed her- parents. She is hooked up to Ricky's brain and then she dreams. Through these dreams, she sees what happened to Ricky in the past. (This way they can use flashbacks from parts 1 and 2 when your mind starts to wander.) Laura is scared of Ricky (no kidding!) and says she is not coming back after the holidays. She, her brother Chris and his date Jerri, all go to Granny's house for Christmas. A drunk playing Santa at the hospital, wanders into Ricky's room and starts to taunt him. Santa calls Ricky a vegetable and things in refer- ence to Ricky's not function- ing manhood. (All together now - Naughty Boy!) Well, of course Ricky can't let that go unpunished, so he miraculously comes out of a six year coma, springs from the bed and kills Santa. Now Ricky wants Laura and kills anyone in his way to get her. In his mind he hears Laura give the best directions, to Granny's house, to her brother (reach out and touch someone, folks) and he heads there. Lt. Connelly and Dr. Newbury race to save Laura and the others. Connelly wants him dead and Newbury wants him alive. Meanwhile, up at the farm - Ricky has killed Granny, knocked. out Chris, killed Jerri and is now after Lauray Laura hears Granny in her mind. Granny tells her to use her powers because as long as she has the power of her mind, she can't be hurt. (Sorry Granny, Laura was absent from class the day they taught this les- son.) I won't tell you who wins because some people might actually want to see the movie, but I will tell you this - if your looking for a movies with - great acting, a solid plot and interesting special effects, you are out of luck here. The only one in the movie who show any talent is Robert Culp at Lt. Connely. He's funny and serious at the same time and seems to be the only one with a personality. The only thing scary about this movie is the possibility of a sequel. Listen up Hollywood-give us a nice Christmas present and let Ricky stay down for the count this time. I give this movie a 3. New mineral development office The Ministry of Northern Development and Mines will open a Mineral Development Office in Elliot Lake, Mines Minister Gilles Pouliot has announced. The office will be staffed by a newly-appointed Mineral Development Consultant. "This office will support the special four-year geological reassessment project which was started in the Elliot Lake area earlier this year," Pouliot said. "This $2-million project is funded and administered by the Ministry's Mines and Minerals Division." The Mineral Development Office office at 7 Elizabeth Walk will be the principal con- tact point for prospectors, min- eral exploration companies, government agencies, educa- tional institutions and the gen- eral public on matter relating to mineral exploration and development in the Elliot Lake area. It will also provide infor- mation on Ministry geological programs in the area, and on the special Elliot Lake Ontario Mineral Incentive Program (OMIP). James A.

First you must decide if you will have the time to devote to raising a puppy. Young puppies are very similar to having a newbom baby in the house. They awak- en at all hours, need to be house trained, need to be fed many times a day, need love and affection, and sometimes guidance to correct behaviour. Once your decision is made, then you will have to discuss with your family members what type of dog they want. Also consider the time you have for exercising, and the size of your living space. You should never purchase a dog if any member of your family has asthma or a sever allergy to any animals. If you do, you may find yourself taking the dog to the responsibility for uranium. ae : He can $e Coabicied through Pound or giving iin away : This can be very upsetting the Elliot Lake Northern : Biveloceiest Officer to the dog and your family, P : especially when children are Thank You the Township s recently completed tourism strategy and waterfront development study. eon 5 a permanent standing committee of ouncil.

There are a few rules that your should know when looking for that perfect dog. : "Never buy from a pet store," is the first and most important rule. Most of these stores purchase their puppies from "Puppy Mills." If you happened to be watching 20/20 a few weeks ago then you would have seen -- the state of these facilities. Dogs were packed in cages like sardines, puppies were liv- ing in their own waste, with little or no room to play. Many females are bred every time they come into sea- son and when they can no longer produce litters they are shot. Contact your local dog Club or the Canadian Kennel Club. We have a dog show in February in Thunder Bay which is the perfect time to meet breeders of purebred dogs and see the different . types of dogs available. Next week I will start a series on the types of dogs you can choose from and which types are suit- ed to different households.
