p4 trlblfrut au6usth 1993 decision to drop tenders ludicrous f arbage v thats what residents who have phoned the tri bune thought of the towns tendering policy with respect to trash the town waived tenders on trash collection a contract worth 23 million miller waste was granted the con tract once again during pri vate budget deliberations in march it has taken budget watch dog councillor ken prentice to bring the occurrence to light and there is every indication the process may be reexam ined prentice is correct when he said the town could well have received a better offer but chose to waive the tender process this decision was a move that could have saved thousands of dollars if a lower bid came in and in times like these contracts are signed for much less than they might have been worth at one time this was an error in judge ment of the highest order w praise continues for basically flawed film c rom the time i was three i wanted to be a paleontolo gist so you can imagine my excitement at the prospect of the release of jurassic park the first dinosaur movie since a rabbit furclad raquel welch did battle with some plasticene plesosaurs in one million bc and now that everyone on the planet has seen the film i am completely frustrated by the praise it is receiving and i sim ply must pass comment many a fair reader will be thinking at this point you must have a lot of time on your hands to be so concerned with a science fiction film true enough maybe but it irks me to see all that money flow into the spielberg coffers for what is basically a flawed film oh sure the special effects are likely worth the price of admission but so many problems nagged me through out the movie that i couldnt get past them to enjoy the tech nical wizardry examples when the scientists first arrive at jurassic park there are fullgrown brachiosauruses roaming around my question is if it takes about 20 years for an elephant to reach maturity how long have these dinos been growing and how come no one minute with mair a nd r e w m a i r found out about them where did laura derns shirt go one minute it is off and the next it is back on again and why does she come running over the hill telling her beau to run there was nothing chasing them and what happened to that triceratops and why was laura dern so concerned with it when she was playing a pale- obotanist why would a mathemati cian be invited to a dinosaur park in one scene the little girl is sneezed on by saidmiraculous brachiosaurus two scenes later she has been scrubbed down quite nicely but perhaps the biggest flaw was the film companys entice ment to bring small children into theatres scenes of impending doom for a little white goat not to mention human victims are too much for many adults and yet the seats at the theatre i went to were halffilled with children i would consider too young to sit through the death of bambis mother never mind the one- bite slaying of a man on a toilet seat by a 50ton tyrannosaur i was unable to achieve my childhood goal of becoming a dinodoctor because the hemi sphere that controls the science part of my brain is still trying to comprehend the new math the same can be said for the creators of jurassic park except their other half wasnt working either stouffville tribune publisher general manager editorinchief advertising director business manager

youre a winter person visit the movie theatre last week i took my beloved off spring and granny pat to see robin hood men in tights as we walked into cinema 4 aka the meat locker we were assailed by a great waft of frigid air which seems to be a feature of commer cial buildings in hot weather it was 28 degrees outside and id neglected to bring my afghan my parka and my mukluks i sat shivering uncontrollably in shorts tshirt and sandals my teeth chattering and my feet turning blue while robin hood and his merry men were getting themselves outfitted in tights i was fighting off frostbite while rabbi tuckman was performing circumcisions 50 per cent off i was dreaming of hot soup and a log fire the movie itself was hilarious making it a natural target for a whole slew of rights kates corner groups it made fun of overweight people men who wear tights and like to dance and sing the visual ly impaired jewish people cross- dressers people who get their words muddled up and unspeak ably ugly crones it was insulting to womens intelligence maid marian was beautiful but as dim as a 10 watt bulb and african americans whom it described unforgivably as black it mercilessly stereo typed gay hangmen persons and it took some cheap shots at white british males which will no doubt be judged one of its few redeeming features at least it made us laugh which probably saved us from a nasty dose of hypothermia we laughed at all sorts of inappropriate jokes of which mel brooks should be ashamed for a while i almost forgot my discomfort in my enjoy ment of this politically incorrect spoof but i couldnt help thinking how management could save a ton of money simply by turning down the air conditioning and they might sell a lot more of those expensive ice cold drinks into the bargain we left the theatre and emerged into the blissful summer warmth the car was like an oven having been sitting in the sun but it wasnt until we reached our road that i got the feeling back in my toes and if it was as perishingly cold on the set as it was in the the atre no wonder the men wore tights
