Page 12, News, Tuesday, March 26, 1991 real Buckner out. In the meantime, Walker (masquerading as Buckner) has managed to get himself kidnapped by a pair of over- the-hill, former hippies who have become yuppies. These dudes call the cops and say Flashback Starring: Dennis Hopper, Keifer Sutherland Rating : 0 DO OF pecs onss gin nasne potqascabeqninkatipe gr enesipe 10 excellent This is a funny, entertaining and awareness raising movie. It is the story of Huey Walker ( Dennis Hopper ), a 60's protester who got into trouble and fled into hiding for over 20 years. It is also the story of John Buckner ( Keifer Sutherland ). He is the ultra serious, ultra conservative federal agent who has been sent to pick up Walker from the.police who finally arrested him. John's mission is to take Walker to Washington, but because of fog, they have to take the train. This enables Walker to get Buckner drunk, steal his ID and clothes. When the train stops in Marston, he turns Buckner over to Sheriff Hightower (Cliff De Yong). Hightower thinks Buckner is Walker and an army deserter and that Walker is Buckner, the Fed. (Still with me here?) he lets Buckner (the real Walker) leave. Sheriff Hightower has a problem that he lets get even bigger. He allows a cell-mate to beat up the fake Walker and he even takes a turn himself. Hightower finally reads the paperwork and realizes that Walker is suppose to be 49 years old. He realizes his mistake and lets the they will let Buckner go in exchange for Walker (not realizing that they already have him). During the so-called exchange, Sheriff High- tower tells his men that Buckner and Walker are working together and shoot-to-kill. Buckner and Walker get away and head for Rainbow Zen, a hippie commune that Buckner's parents built. There they see Maggie (Carol Kane). She's the only one left there and is facing a foreclosure. She helps Walker realize that the trouble he's been running from, for the past 20 years, was not a silly mistake. It helped the kids unit, as collective body, to stand up to the government. She also helps Buckner realize that deep inside him, is. still a part of the child who grew up as Free. Buckner comes to realize that maybe Walker was right and he wants to help him get away. Buckner and Walker get on a train bound for Canada. Just when they think they're home- free, Sheriff High-tower gets on the train and tries to kill them both. Will the dynamic duo get away? I won't give away the ending. Flashback is a fast and funny ride down the roller coaster of life and both the actors.and audience realize_that the world is not perfect, but it still beats anything else. I give this movie a8 1/2.

DOVO.-IPVD-D Railway rights-of-way are not safe for skiers and snowmobilers Cross-country skiers, snow- mobilers and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) operators don't belong on railway rights-of-way, and the statistics prove it. In the 13 winter seasons from 1977 to 1990, 68 accidents involving CP Rail trains and snowmobiles or ATVs were recorded; eight people were killed and 10 injured. Information campaign To help reduce the number of accidents, CP Rail's Department of Investigation is conducting an information campaign involving visits to clubs and the distribution of large, color posters to bring the message to cross-country skiers and snowmobile and ATV users that trespassing on railway property could result in offenders being prosecuted and fined. "Even rights-of-way where the lines have been abandoned and the tracks removed are private property," said J.W. Bourgeois, CP Rail's Super- intendent of Investigation in Toronto.

A snowmobile driver might get out of the way in time, but in many cases the driver, bundled up in warm headgear, can't hear the locomotive until it's a few feet away. "There is also the possibility that the operators of motorized equipment can damage railway signals and safety inspection equipment which could seriously affect the safety of the general public." Hot box and dtdgeing- equipment detectors as well as switch heater fuel lines are located close to the rails and can be easily damaged. Many hazards Other less-obvious hazards occur when snowmobilers, ATV operators or skiers use trails beside the railway tracks. 'A snowmobile, for example, can hit a bump and be thrown under the wheels of the train or the protruding steps of moving equipment can hit the driver. "Another problem is that employees have trouble maintaining track where snowmobiles cross," he said.
