~ Even as a little boy, Henry Hill
(Liotta) wanted to be a gangster.
The son of an Irish father and an
Italian mother, Henry just knew
that being a gangster meant you
were somebody on a street full of
nobody's. He started by parking
cars for kingpins like Paul Cicero
(Sorvino), Tommy DeVito
(Pesci), and Jimmy "The Gent"
Conway (DeNiro). He had his
foot in the door and he meant to
keep it there.

The mob became his family, the
centre of his universe, and he
moved up through the ranks with
lightning speed. Henry loved the
thrill and excitement of the heists
they pulled off, the late-night
high stakes poker games in back
rooms, the endless flow of
women, booze and money. He
didn’t have to kill anybody —-
there were others more than
willing to spill blood when the
big boss ordered it — so every-
thing was coming up roses for
good old Henry. .

_ Then he broke the cardinal rule;
he started running drugs behind
the boss’s back. First he got
caught by the cops, which was
okay because he was pretty sure
he could beat the rap, but what
good old Henry was really
worried about was his family, his
pals. Henry knew he was a walk-
ing dead man.

Give this movie a try, even if
you don’t like gangster movies.
It’s completely different, and well
worth the price of admission.

Randal Keiser. Rating: PG.

Running time: 109 minutes.

Jack Conroy knows there’s gold
in the Yukon. Just before his
father’s death, Scott Conroy sent
his son a packet of gold dust and
a letter detailing the exact where-
abouts of his claim, Now Jack is
on the high road to adventure to
fulfill his father’s dying wish —
to strike it rich in the gold fields!

Only one things stands in Jack’s
way; he’s as green as grass when
it comes to facing the challenges
of the treacherous Yukon valley.
But what he lacks in experience
he makes up for in sheer tenacity.

He finally convinces Alex Larson
(Brandauer), a veteran miner, into
guiding him to his father’s claim.
‘Severe weather, attacks by
starving wolves, men made crazy
by the lure of gold, Jack and
Alex survive it all, and forge a .
lasting friendship in the process.
Then Jack unexpectedly finds
another friend when he is
attacked by a savage grizzly; a

half-wild wolf-dog named White .

This movie was made with the
cooperation of the American
Humane Society.

KIDDIE CORNER FROM THE POST OFFICE

It’s been a busy time on the music scene recently. A lot of people
were out and about, looking and listening to the sounds around
Terrace.

‘The night of June 15 was a real treat for those of us who attended
the dance the Thornhill Community Hall. Two local bands graced
the stage for this well-attended event.

First up was Gang of Four, who surprised me with a smooth, hot
sound. They have been together for only the past four months, but
the delivery was a true indulgence for the musically-minded. I
really enjoyed this band.

Out: front with a lively vocal show was Todd Bellamy. Tony
Demelo kept the pace with solid drumming, along with Steve
Holmberg on guitar and some throbbing bass from Dan Carson. All
the band’s members are from Terrace and area.

Another Terrace-based foursome, Diamond Back, took the stage
for the second set. Members are Doug Sharples (bass), Brian
Wilson (drums), Corey Funk (guitar) and Harold Armstrong on
vocals. They play anything, from country to heavy metal, but it
seemed they were having a bit of an off night. Not that the dancers
would have agreed — the were out on the floor for most of the
evening! Congratulations go to sound man Murray Olivier, who did
an admirable job of keeping the equilibrium.

The following day, Sunday afternoon, the band shell was the place
to be for a look-and-listen to the Terrace Concert Society's first
"concert In the park" this season. The informal gathering of
multi-aged classical musicians played for a group of about 100
spectators. The event took a lot of organization, and it-was well
worth the effort. I look forward to hearing more...

Every second Sunday of the month The Creperie restaurant on
Tetrault St. offers a coffee house from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., operated
by the Program for Independent Living. All local musicians are
welcome to come down for the jam. Bands who would like to play
are asked to contact the Creperie in advance.

Country-rock duo Loose Change is loose this week and next
week in George’s Pub at the Northem Motor Inn. The Northern also
offers a "musicians’ jam" from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday nights.
Gigi’s in the Terrace Inn is introducing The Late Show this week,
a Top 40 band.

Until next time...
