Arts (LEISURE Horsing Around ——— Jonathan Green NEWS REPORTER Don’t be alarmed if you hear someone running down Columbia Avenue yelling something about Redcoats being spotted in Trail. Chances are they're shouting about the upcoming appearance of the Royal Lipizzaner Stallions. For 22 years, the famous white stallions with their redcoat-clad riders have been a part of “The Wonderful World Of Horses”, and they pay a visit to the Trail Memo- rial Centre on June 3. Introduced by the Europeans over 400 years ago, the Lippizzan- er was originally known as a bat- tle horse. It was trained to rear on its hind legs, using its chest to shield its rider from attacks. Ifthe enemy approached from the rear, the horse would kick out its hind legs, knocking the soldier down. But to the non-historian, the Lipizzaner might best be known to a lot of North Americans from the Disney movie The Miracle of the White Stallions, which depicts the rescue of the horses by Gen. George Patton’s men from Czechoslovakia during World War Trail will play host to the world- hits the Smelter City.

ShawGABLE 10 In an interview with the Green Bay Press-Gazette, show producer Gary Lashinsky said Patton’s ef- forts during the war probably pre- vented the Lipizzaner from be- coming extinct. “At the end of the Second World across eastern Europe and basic- sally slaughtering all the animals and horses they could get a hold of to feed their troops,” he said. In their path were the Lipiz- zaners. Through an agreement with the director of the Spanish Riding promised to look out for the wel- fare of the horses. “Basically, the Lipizzaner at that point was almost an extinct species of horse,” Lashinsky said. “There weren’t more than a hand- ful left. If they had not been saved, there probably wouldn't be Lipiz- The marquee performer of the show, the Lipizzaner is usually born black and eventually reaches its snow white color over a period of six to 10 years.

Jonathan Green NEWS REPORTER For the figure skating buff who just can't wait until the next Winter Olympics, The dered. Directed by Paul M.

After convincing Dorsey there is life after hockey, Kravchuk introduces Mosely to her new partner, only to be accused of having “Ukrainian Alcohol Psychosis.” From almost the second they meet, Mose- ly and Dorsey establish a rapport that is any- thing but friendly, which only adds fuel to the skating fire. Through practice, the duo reach the Na- tionals in Chicago, where the top two pairs receive a berth on the Olympic team. With both having a desire of returning to the Olympics, Mosely and Dorsey put ina performance that nets them two tickets to France. With a script that takes a page out of real life, Kinakin explains to his protogees that victory will be hard to come by because of a 5 strong Russian couple. To defeat them, Kinakin introduces Mose- ly and Dorsey to a move from his past, one that will probably determine whether they The Cutting Edge skates on very thin ice can realistically go for gold or have to settle for silver. But, try as they might; the two can’t pull it off, setting the stage for what should be a runner up showing at the games. Through the amount of time they spend on and off the ice together, Mosely and Dorsey establish a love-hate relationship that starts out leaning towards hate and ends up closer to love by the time they reach the long program. Although The Cutting Edge won’t win any awards for original screenplay, nor will the actors walk off with any individual prizes, it’s a movie that should appeal to a wide range of movie goers, skating fahs or not. From the camera angles and costumes that make you feel like you are rinkside, to ~ the feelings that two adversaries eventually discover, to the thrill of international compe- tition, The Cutting Edge has got it all. Featuring the likes of Black Box, Chris Isaak and Nia Peeples, the soundtrack helps out as well.
