Hollywood prepares for Oscars

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
(AP) — The Last Emperor,
the tragic saga of China's boy
emperor, captured top hon.
ors with nine nominations
today for the 60th Motion
Picture Academy Awards.

It was followed by seven
nominations for Broadcast
News, the romantic comedy
of life in a network news
bureau.

Following those two films,
with six nominations each,
were: boy's eyes; Fatal At.
traction, the story of a
woman's revenge against a
lover who spurns her, and
Moonstruck, the comedy of
love ‘in a volatile Italian
American family

All but Steven Spielberg's
Empire of the Sun were
nominated as best picture.
The fifth nominee was John
Boorman's Hope And Glory

Two-time winner Jack
Nichslson gained his ninth
nomihation as the 1930s bum
in Ironweed and Robin Wil.

James Taylor,

Robert Aubert and Richard Foster,

liams was nominated for best
actor with his role as the disc
jockey in Good Morning Viet-
nam.

Also nominated: Michael
Douglas, Wall Street; Wil-
liam Hurt, Broadcast News;
and Marcello Mastroianni,
Dark Eyes.

Another double Oscar
winner, Meryl Streep, won
her seventh nomination for
Ironweed. Also in the best
actress race: Cher, for Moon
struck; Glenn Close, Fatal
Attraction; Holly Hunter,
Broadcast News; and Sally
Kirkland for Anna.

Nominees for supporting
actor were Albert Brooks,
Broadcast News; Sean Con-
nery, The Untouchables;
Morgan Freeman, Street
Smart; Vincent Gardenia,
Moonstruck; and Denzel
Washington, Cry Freedom.

All are first-time nominees
except Gardenia, named for
Bang The Drum6lowly, in
1973.

All the supporting actress-
es were nominated for the
first time: Norma Aleandro,
Gaby — A True Story; Anne
Archer, Fatal Attraction;
Olympia Dukakis, Moon-
struck; Anne Ramsey, Throw
Momma From The Train;
Ann Sothern, The Whales of
August.

Although his Empire of the
Sun earned six nominations,
the academy again snubbed
Spielberg as director. Three
years ago, the academy did
not nominate him for best
director with The Color Pur-
ple, but he won the Directors
Guild award for the movie.

The nominees for best di-
rection were Adrian Lyne for
Fatal Attraction; John Boor.
man for Hope and Glory;
Bernardo Bertolucci, The
Last Emperor; Norman Jew
ison, Moonstruck; Lasse
Hallstrom, My Life As A
Dog.

Another surprise omission
was James L. Brooks for his

direction of Broadcast News.

As expected, Louis Malle’s
remembrance of his wartime
childhood, Au Revoir Les In-
fants, was nominated as
France's entry for best for-
eign language film. The other
nominees: Babette's Feast
(Denmark); Course com-
pleted (Spain); The Family
(Italy); Pathfinder (Norway).

Best original screenplay
nominations went to Malle
for Au Revoir Les Infants;
Brooks, Broadcast News;
John Patrick Shanley, Moon-
struck; and Woody Allen,
Radio Days.

For best screenplay adapt-
ation, nominees included
Tony Huston for The Dead;
James Dearden, Fatal At-
traction; Stanley Kubrick,
Michael Herr, and Gustav
Hasford, Full Metal Jacket;
Mark Peploe and Bertolucci,
The Last Emperor; and Hall-
strom, Reidar Jonsson,
Brasse Brannstrom and Per
Berglund, My Life As A Dog.

The popular Dirty Dancing
scored its only nomination for
its song: (I've Had) The Time
Of My Life. Also nominated
in that category: Nothing’s
Gonna Stop Us Now from
Manne juin; Shakedown from
Beverly Hills Cop II; Story-
book Love from The Princess
Bridge; and the title tune
from Cry Freedom.

The big surprise of the
nominations was the failure
of the director's branch to
nominate Brooks, whose only
previous film as director,
Terms of Endearment, won
him the award in 1983.

For the first time, not one
of the nominees for director
is from the U.S. Jewison is
Canadian, Lyne and Boorman
are English, Bertolucci is
Italian and Hallstrom is Swe-
dish.

Some of the highly ad-
vertised films came up short.
The prestigious Cry Freedom
was mentioned only for sup:
porting actor, score and song.

St. John Ambulance
presents bravery awards

By CasNews Staff

Steve Leigh Croteau of Castlegar was one of five men to
be honored recently by the St. John Ambulance for “heroic
actions” in rescuing trapped victims of car accidents.

Croteau and Richard James Foster of Granisle, B.C.
received meritorious certificates at an award ceremony at
the Heritage Inn in Nelson Feb. 9 for rescuing two men from
a car submerged in the Columbia River at Robson.

Castlegar RCMP report that on July 30, 1986, a vehicle
left Broadwater Road in Robson and crashed into the

Columbia River.

Foster ran to the riverbank and saw two men inside the
vehicle just as it was beginnig to submerge. The driver
called out that he couldn't open his door.

As the car sank, Foster dove into the water. Croteau
joined in the fescue and both men returned to the
completely submerged vehicle several times trying to rescue
the passenger who appeared to be caught in the steering

column.

Nearing exhaustion, the two men continued their

efforts and finally rescued the unconscious Passenger.
Police report medical assistance was on shore when
they got back and were successful in reviving the un-
conscious victim. Both occupants credited Foster and
Croteau for their actions which police say “undoubtedly

saved their lives.”

Bob McDermitt, Executive Direction of the B.C.
Chapter of St. John Ambulance presented Croteau with his
award. Foster was unable to attend the ceremony.

Three Nelson men were also honored, for a separate
rescue in which they freed an injured driver from a burning

car.

Last May 30 at approximately 1:45 a.m. a North Shore
man lost control of his car on Highway 3A, 25 kilometres
north of Nelson. The vehicle burst into flames and the driver

was trapped.

Terry Clark Christensen, James Henry Taylor and
Robert Aubert came upon the vehicle.

Police say Christensen and Taylor — who “at great
personal risk” rescued the injured driver from the burning
car as the fire was spreading rapidly — removed him to a
safe distance and administered first aid. They were awarded

the meritorious certificate.

“Mr. Christensen and Mr. Taylor are to be highly
commended for risking their own lives to save another when
the vehicle could have exploded at any moment,” a release

from Castlegar

RCMP says.

Aubert was awarded the Award of Merit by the B.C,
Couneil of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St.
John of Jerusalem for his actions in assisting in saving a life.

Each team had teacher and
parent sponsors and in prep
aratory meetings determined
thier representatives for
each of the 10 sports comp.
etitions, all modelled after
the real thing.

As well, the five teams
made determinations as to
their official song and their
costumes which on the day of
competition provided a ter
rifie collage of color to the
festivities.

The opening ceremonies
included a parade in which
the five teams, all color co-
ordinated and armed with
flags and banners and singing
their culturally appropriate
songs, passed by a reviewing
stand, creating an unfor-
gettable spectacle of sight,
color -and- seund.

After an exhausting and
energetic program the stu-
dents enjoyed refreshments
and quietly reflected on this
special day which to| most
was the kickoff event for the
winter games in Calgary

Their enthusiasm and en
ergy clearly indicated the
importance the Olympic
Games really means to them
and to all Canadians. This
day was surely a day of pride
and unfotgettable memories
for the students at Twin
Rivers elementary school and
Castlegar primary school.

This building, constructed after the fire of 1896, is a

was established by G.B. Wright in 1888. The building was of
log construction and was situated on this site at the corner of
Wright and Sutton Street in the middle of the business section

Lindsay ond Fletcher Mercantile purchased the store from
Wright and that same year, 1891, Henry Giegerich bought out
both partners. Joseph Fletcher retired to his ranch and sub-
sequently supplied all the Giegerich Stores with potatoes and
fresh vegetables. Because he wos one of the most notable
pioneers in the area, his name will always be remembered in
the naming of Fletcher Lakes, Fletcher Creek and Fletcher
