Hurt, Joe Mantegna. Produced by
Robert Greenhut. Directed by
Woody Allen. Rating: PG 13.
Running time: 106 minutes.

Alice Tate (Farrow) is a rich,

"pampered New York housewife

whose well ordered life is driving
her totally nuts. Trapped in a
boring marriage for 16 tortuously
boring years, Alice dreams of
having an affair with Joe (Man-.
tegna), a sexy saxophone player
she meets at her children’s nurs-
ery school. But it’s all just a
pleasant daydream; Alice would
never have the courage to actual-
ly do something so daring. Until
she meets up with the mysterious
Dr. Yang, that is.

Alice has a bad back, but Dr.
‘Yang, an acupuncturist, foregoes
the usual needles in place of
mysterious herbal potions. He
patiently assures her that these
rare herbal mixtures are just the
"cure" she needs. Except Alice
gets a lad more cure than she
bargained for!

One concoction turns her into a
sultry seductress, another makes
her invisible, and yet another one
allows her to speak with ghosts
from her past. Literally. And as if
all this weren’t enough to jolt her
back to life, she discovers that
her faithful hubby (Hurt) isn’t
quite so loyal after all. But then
neither is Joe.

This is a rather oddball movie,
but give it a chance. It’s really
quite good once it gets up a little

steam.

Literacy |

Dawn Allan

by Betty Barton

Dawn Allan is a primary school
teacher and a teacher of literacy.
She explains the connection, "As a
primary school teacher, I’m ‘so
concerned with teaching reading. It
just carries over. It (reading) is a
kind of magical thing.” Dawn is a
recent recruit of Terrace’s new
literacy centre, the Reading Place.
Dawn has been working with her
first literacy student five evenings
each weck since May. "He's so
keen, so how can I not be?"

Dawn believes it’s just human
nature to tune out things you think
you can’t learn. She fecls there
comes a time for people when they
want or need to learn to read to
access something. This provides a
built-in incentive for the student.
Then all they need is a facilitator
to make the process happen.

The process of reading is very
involved, says Dawn, but also very
rewarding, "Whatever you learn
relates to other aspects of life."
Dawn herself has learned alot in
the process. If you have confi-
dence, you don’t have to under-
stand every word to understand the
meaning. There are no definitive
answers to teaching literacy. The
instructor has to be flexible and
non-judgemental and meet the
needs and wants of her/his student.
Dawn feels that 90 percent of
teaching is ego building. At the
same time, she feels treating the
student in a business-like manner
is often better. As long as people
are comfortable and interested,
they'll learn, As a teacher and a
mother of now-grown children,
Dawn Allan believes, "Leaming
should be fun, It’s much easier to
learn if you’re happy." AS an
aside, Dawn adds, "the Year 2000
program is a wonderful opportun-
ity to let them (students) think for
themselves."

There is no way to know if a
person is reading and understand-
ing unless they read orally. “It’s a
real skill to read orally, and also
requires confidence," says Dawn.
People who speak a different lan-
guage at home disadvantage theit
children at school.
