Citizen commends board on town parks At least one person in town is happy to see money being spent on town parks. In a letter to the Parks Board Mrs. Elizabeth Purvis thanked the Board for all the work that has been done on Woodland Park "There are over 100 children in the development behind us and it is nice for them to have a safe place to play,' she stated Mrs. Purvis went on to say that she would much rather see money spent on parks for people of all ages than on subsidized skating 'for a handful of athletes."" She urged the Parks Board to keep up the good work review Capricorn Oneis entertaining, engrossing by Terry Dupuis Capricorn One is a suspense thriller which also contains elements of science fiction, humour, action, and political in- trigue All these ingredients are served up in an entertaining and engrossing package. Set several years into the future, the plot of Capricorn One concerns a faked landing on Mars. Capricorn One is the name of a space capsule which is intended to carry three astronauts on the first manned flight to Mars. NASA is under intense pressure. The flight is a matter of American prestige in the world. Moreover, public interest in the space program is dwindling, and there is the danger that Congress may cut off NASA's budget. NASA finds that the craft's life support system is faulty, which means the mission would be a failure. Rather than have this happen, an elaborate hoax is plan- ned. Several minutes before takeoff the astronauts are secretly removed from the space capsule. The empty capsule will be shot off to Mars, and the three astronauts are to simulate the entire Mars landing on a huge sound stage at a secret base in the desert. Unfortunately when the rocket re-enters the earth's atmosphere a heat-shield failure causes the rocket to disintegrate. Naturally since the three astronauts are assumed by the world to have been aboard the rocket, it is thought that they are dead. Of course the astronauts are very much alive on earth, and their existence is'a threat to NASA's hoax. The space agency must exterminate them. The three astronauts escape into the desert, and a grim struggle for survival begins. ( The offbeat plot of Capricorn One maintains audience interest all the way, and the picture also benefits from the presence of a good cast. The three astronauts are played by James Brolin, O.J. Simpson and Sam Waterston. Hal Holbrook is the cold-blooded NASA chief who is behind the space flight deception. Elliott Gould stars as'a bumbling reporter who stumbles onto the secret. Brenda Vaccaro appears as the wife of one of the astronauts, and Karen Black is a TV newscaster. Telly Savalas is hilarious as a cranky old crop- duster who helps Elliott Gould in his investigation.
