Don’t worry, advise the makers of the $50 million Total Recall, which opened in Canadian and U.S. theatres Friday.

Shooting in Los Angeles, I’m sure that the movie would have cost $70 million or something like that. ““We started (the budget) at $43 million, and I think I went over 15 per cent. So it’s probably up to $50 million. I always go over 15 per cent, even in Europe, where I made films for half a million. “always seem to go over a bit more than the producers want to give.

It’s all there.’” Total Recall has been in the works for 10 years, originating in a short story by Phillip Dick, We Can Remember It for You Wholesale. Dino De Laurentiis developed the script, which intrigued Schwar- zenegger in the mid-1980s. “*It was the best script I had read in COMMUNITY NEWS | By JUDY WEARMOUTH Head Librarian Considering our present unseasonable weather conditions, A Chill Rain in January is an apt title to start off this selection from the current batch of new books at the library. Those of you who came to last year’s National Book Festival reading will remember author L.R. Wright reading interesting excerpts from this book. It’s a psychological thriller, a why-dunnit rather than a who-dunnit and most of the tension is built up as we follow the lovable detective, Staff Sgt. Ahlsberg, in his steps towards solving the murder. A beautiful psychopath has recognized her problem and found a solitary place on the Sechelt Peninsula to live in comfort. Her brother attempts to * blackmail her — to his cost. Alice Munro’s short stories often feel like novels becasue they’ re so densely packed with emotion, fully realized characters and atmospheric place description. Her latest collection is called A Friend of my Youth. In it she takes us from Victoria to Scotland and back into the literary landscape known as Munro country, small-town Ontario. Her characters, whether they’re 19th century small-town respectable, or present-day liberal Torontonian, are all instantly recognizable as people like us. Their quandaries, of separation and divorce, of love burning out and flaring up, are contemporary and also timeless. The renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith has-come up with a satirical novel called A Tenured Professor in which he lampoons our society’s mores and hidden agendas. Professor Montgomery Marvin has been recruited by Harvard University and he turns out to be more than the university expected. He’s created an economic forecasting model (the Index of Irrational Expectations) which pays off in megabucks. What affront of his having all that vulgar money, is his intention to put all his new wealth intd good and worthy causes. Land’s End by Frederick Pohl and Jack Apt weather for a good book of the life on land has succumbed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Small pockets of survivors are faced with years of merciless ‘ozone summer."’ Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate are a geriatric sleuthing team to rival Miss Marple. In Murder in Grey and White, by Corinne Holt Sawyer, they assist the police inspector trying to solve a cold-blooded murder, setting about their mission with such zeal that they find themselves in almost as much trouble as the poor victim. Kootenay Journal is a book which celebrates the Kootenays, both the place and the people. Residents and visitors alike feel that the Kootenays have a special magic and in this journal, Kootenay writers, photographers and artists try to explain why. They tell about native history and heritage buildings, show interesting and unusual things to do and places to visit, talk about the arts, the theatre, writing, sculpture and pottery, and give exclusive tips on Kootenay sport fishing. Whoever thought grammar could be fun? Two books by Karen Elizabeth Gordon are proof that is is. The well- sentence, a dbook on punctuation, and The transitive Vampire, a handbook of grammar, are both sub-titled For the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed. The author breathes new life into our old grammatical demons. With the aid of a few werewolves, nympths, fauns and ordinary people making our usual mistakes, she creates daring and hilarious sentences to illustrate correct usage and the results would make the Edwardian Fowler brothers blush. As the blurb says, ‘‘If your participles tend to dangle or your clauses are despondent, you needn't despair,”’ this book is at hand. Living together loneliness is a very real problem which strikes millions of supposedly happily coupled women. In his best selling Living Together, Feeling Alone, Dr. Dan Kiley smashes the myth that loneliness is based on being alone and shows how to overcome the problem and how to save the relationship too. Kiley identifies the vague, si ; - Williamson is a rousing science fiction in an all-too-possible future, an epic story of environmental disaster and the heroic people who triumphed over it. A comet has been deflected by warheads from hitting the earth but parts of it rain down on the planet, destroying all electronic circuits and ionizing the ozone layer, so that most sl pr so many women feel and he defines those feelings as a personal challenge which can be a springboard to a ‘‘new and better you.”” He guides the reader through a positive life- ~~ affirming, five-step journey away from blaming a partner towards to loving herself, by finding out the depths of her inner strength. Dancers entertain 400 The Maxwell School of Dance held its annual recital May 25 at the Stanley Humphries secondary school gymnasium. To an audience of ap- proximately 400 people, 70 en- thusiastic entertainers, ranging from age seven to 40, presented their version of A Tribute to the Movies. Proceeds will be donated to the Castlegar Community Theatre pr- oject. The show will be televised by Shaw Cable in the near future. Performers from th Stanley Humphrie: well School of Dance entertained approximately 400 people at econdary school May 25 during the dance school’s annual recital. The Medical Clinic of Castlegar & Kinnaird is pleased to announce... DR. MIRANDA GHES will be joining the practise. She will begin working in the Kinnaird Office (365-7255) on June 4, 1990. > PULPIT & PEW munity groups and activities for By TED BRISTOW Castlegar United Church The good life is killing us. No, I don’t mean pollution, or the national debt, or any of those other problems ‘‘they’’ have created. I’m thinking about what we are doing to ourselves, when we let our own good life slowly destroy us. Unless we’re poor (and let’s never forget some are), life in our society is very good. We live in comfortable homes, we eat well, we have cars to take us where we want to go, we can afford a nice holiday. And there’s lots to do, with com- children and adults, and recreation: organized sports, plus golf and swimming and boating and gar- dening. Most of us, here in the Kootenays, live a very good life. And it’s killing us, because we try to do it all. I’ve been noticing how tired people are getting, from being over-busy. I constantly hear of families where mom is just a taxi driver, with the children belonging to so much. The ~ happy family gathered together for a pleasant evening is a rare event. It’s not just the kids who are too years,” he recalls. “*When I picked up the script the first time, I couldn’t put it down. I read it all the way through, then I read it again.

But will Warren Beatty’s film about the square-jawed flatfoot with the yellow fedora match the $252-million US domestic gross amassed by the caped crusader? Fingers crossed, Walt Disney Co. is tossing a huge premiere at Disney World in Florida with 3,000 jour- nalists expected to attend. Following trailers that have appeared in 2,000 theatres since Christmas, TV com- mercials will be unleashed on TV net- works. Merchandise, including Tracy’s wrist-watch radio, will flood the market. But skeptics negatives. The comic strip Dick Tracy, once featured in 500 newspapers, now ap- pears in 150 and is little known by today’s young, moviegoing audience.

He co-starred with Diarie Keaton and receivéd an Academy Award for best director. Another problem is that although Dick Tracy co-star Madonna may be a megastar in pop music, Her‘tast few movies were megadisasters: Shanghai Surprise and Who’s That Girl. Barrie Osborne, executive producer of Dick Tracy, takes an upbeat view. “The picture should attract a wide audience, because it can be ap- preciated on different levels,"’ he said in an interview. ‘‘The younger audience can enjoy the prosthetic characters (Pruneface, Flattop, etc.), lots of action and beautiful color. And they certainly know Madonna. “The older audience can appreciate the wit and the appearance of the film; much of it was derived from post-exprssionist paintings — a ‘Three Penny Opera’-Bertolt Brecht look. And Warren can bring that (older) audience as well.”” Disney plans to issue graphic Ishtar. His other was the critically ac- CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 1995-6th Ave. Castlegar, B.C.

Mom and dad have their groups too, along with mowing the lawn and doing the laundry and all the other chores to squeeze in somewhere. And don’t forget mom is probably working too, to claim some more good life, by having her own life and extra money for more nice things. Perhaps I’m over-stating it, but I suggest that because we can have and do so many good things, we go for too much of it, and get so over-busy that we sacrifice family time, quiet time, God time. I suggest we've chosen quantity over quality, the quantity of things and events over the quality of time to be ourselves and to be with those we love. This good life is killing us. It’s killing us by destroying our family togethereness. It’s killing us by making us, individually, tired and cranky and depressed. : It’s killing us spiritually by taking time away from God. I’ve seen that happen, I think, in my tongregation. Families who mean to attend church for good, important reasons get so busy with other things that they become discouraged over their irregular attendance, and find it easier not to come at all. (In our congregation, we try to understand this busy-ness by welcoming the irregulars, and encouraging them to come as often as they can, instead of being discouraged over the times they can’t. Still, some just give up.) The good life is killing us spiritually, too, by keeping us so in- volved with ourselves that we don’t have time or money for people whose needs are greater than our own. We're so busy rushing to keep up that we don’t notice the needy by the side of the road. What’s the answer to having too much of the good life? I'm not suggesting we immediately drop most of our activities. Perhaps, slowly and carefully, we could drop a few. That’s a long-range solution, for ‘some of us. But, in the meantime, let’s practice the Sabbath principle. That is, let’s make time for some complete breaks from all this too-muchness. Let’s plan some family events that are leisurely and fun. Let’s take enough personal time to let our souls catch up with our bodies. Let’s plan to take some time- out with God. The original Sabbath was a one-day fime-out for the whole society. The modern good life has killed the traditional Sabbath, but we can make our own, by taking enough space each week for quality time. I’m not pretending it’s easy to take quality time for family, self, neigh- bors, and God. It means starting some new habits, and that’s always very difficult. But if this Sabbath principle strikes you as what you need, please go for it, trying this and that until you’ve found something that works for you and yours. I suggest many of us desperately need to do that, to keep the good life from killing us.
