Our house had been built before the First War, back when indoor bathrooms and electricity were unheard of Its exterior was built from clapboards made of oak, probably cut from trees on the land which we now farmed With time and

weather the boards had faded to a pale brown colour, pretty much the same color as the other farmhouses around Black Oak According to my father and grandparents, paint was unnecessary The boards were kept clean and in good repair, and besides, paint cost money

A Sally Strikes Again !

Other recent films about sea creatures

have managed to appeal to both adults

and kids,but I don’t feel this one

necessarily has all the ingredients to do

that One fish looks much like another to

me, but there are some good lines which

make you laugh out loud and the

computer animation is amazing

C The Triangle

This murder mystery is director Jimmy

Syke’s most accessible, entertaining

work since Live Again In his usual style,

a dozen or so key characters cross paths

in unexpected ways until everything

The film is set in a fictional mining town

but it is about a struggle for survival

A The Heat of Summer

Harry Elfondo and Heather Mackenzie play the leading roles in this film aimed at teenagers Elfondo adds class and

western Canada.
