A native of Port Colborne and amateur skater of note, Moskalyk realized as a 19â€"yearâ€"old if he was going to make skating his profession, he would have to make it with an ice show. And so he glided over to Buffalo to an Ice Capades audition, held each Friday in the city which the group performs. Cindy Povey *‘"When I auditioned I was so nervous," said Moskalyk last week from Johnstown, Pa., the group‘s stop at the time. ‘"The most important thing for me was to get it over with and accept whatever decision they made."

Ice Capades arrives in Kitchener Feb. 12 through Feb. 17 and fans can look for Moskalyk in a comedy number called Comedy Trio, a selfâ€"described "ballet on ice."

The Ice Capades tours 35â€"40 weeks a year, a city at a time and stays a week each time. According to Moskalyk, at the auditions the company doesn‘t just ‘"scoop you up right there. If they don‘t accept you, they tell you what you need to work on. If you make it, they put you on a waiting list." Now at 25, Moskalyk said he enjoys life on the road where he‘s in a situation with young people his own age.

It‘s really dangerous and exciting." Moskalyk said he enjoys both comedy and serious skating, so the number is good for him . But his goal is to become a serious skater. "I can‘t imagine doing anything else. I definitely realize it‘s a job, but it‘s a job I really enjoy. I wouldn‘t be fulfilled any other way . It‘s the challenge I need. I think it‘s great to be paid to do something I When performing, he sometimes gets nervous.

TV doesn‘t do justice to the power they have. Their routine Memories just gives me chills. Martini and Underhill are just fabulous. They‘ll be in Kitchener with us. That‘s great." But when it comes to his own perforâ€" mance, he said it‘s hard to say what he feels about it. ‘*Most of the serious skating I‘m doing is on my own. I want to show the company the skills I have. There‘s so much to strive **You can never be the best. Sure, if you were world champions you could say that. Otherwise, you can be consistent and never stop learning. You can never learn it all. For me, I‘m working for myself." â€" 1984 world figure skating champions who are launching their professional debut with Ice Capades, will hold a special lesson while in Kitchener with visuallyâ€"impaired children. _ The lesson will take place Thursday, Feb. 14 prior to an Ice Capades performance at Kitchener Aud.

The Killing Fields masterfully chronicles Pran‘s and Cambodia‘s anguish under the brutal captivity of the Khymer Rouge. captives. There are several gasps throughout this film. Pran is played by Dr. Haing S. Ngor, in a haunting screen debut who draws on his own actual horror and torment that he endured as a former doctor in Cambodia, between the years 1975 and 1979. . It is this terror reâ€"enacted combined with grisly corpse â€" littered footage, and infinite pain of the peoples that gives Killing Fields a chilling aura, an aura forever etched into the minds eye. Based on Schanberg‘s screenplay ‘The Life and Times of Dith Pran‘, Fields is a genocidal history lesson. Only the silent survive. The crucial reality in the Killing Fields, is the children, dirtyâ€"{aced tykes crying in the streets of ruin, and the offspring of the Party, taught that God is dead, that they have no past. .
