A FISH-EYE view of the space shuttle Endgavor blasting Into the night-sky is one of many thrilling scenes in Destiny In Space, the third |MAX film featuring the NASA space program. Part 3 of trilogy tui Destiny in Space **& x, (at the CN EMAX) LOOK UP. Look w-a-y up. The first shot in Destiny in Space is Earth seen from space. When Leonard Nimoy begins narrating, it takes a second to real- ize that, no, this isn’t Star Trek — it’s the real thing. No matter how dazzling high-tech special effects have become, they can’t compare to the enormous rush of looking back at our planet. From a thunderous blast-off (only 30 mystery metres away) we explore space from outside the shuttle Discovery, seeing the astro- nauts in their daily routine — from lab experiments in preparation for Mars to space repairs on the Tim Bell FILM REVIEW Hubble spacecraft — all against an awesome backdrop. In one spectacular shot, we see Discovery poised on the brink between Earth and the inky void. But several steps are required before the human race is Mars- bound. . How do you combat the muscle- depleting effects of weightlessness after a voyage of several years? What do you do with a barren world? How do you get the caramel in the Caramilk bar? While offering possible solu- tions (except for the Caramilk), we also get the trademark IMAX thrill ride. A computer-imaging sequence takes us on a high-speed flyover of the inhospitable Venus and Mars to show exactly what future explorers can expect to encounter. Destiny in Space, opening today at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre theatre, closes the NASA/Lockheed trilogy (after The Dream is Alive and The Blue Planet). So, this could be your last chance to play armchair astronaut on a five-storey screen with digital surround sound. Tainted money BANK ROBBERS continue to be ignorant of the chemical dye-packs that tellers place in holdup money bags. Michael David Harris, 39, was arrested in August outside a NationsBank in Washington, D.C., after he was spotted by a passerby with smoke coming out of his pants (into which he had stuffed the money bag). Several pedestrians pointed to the alley into which Harris fled to get the bag out of his pants. Jacksonville, Florida — Lloyd Johnson Jr., 38, was arrested after he admitted to running by a bank’s drive-threugh teller chute and swip- ing money just before the waiting motorist could grab it. Johnson told Judge Morton Kesler that he wasn’t a thief; he said he had been using an automatic teller machine elsewhere on the bank’s property but was unfamiliar with how it worked and thought he had to run over to the drive-through chute to retrieve his money. Within a six-week span, police in Rupert, Idaho, and Weatherford, Texas, handled cases in which men broke into a church for burglary or vandalism, were attracted to the office photocopicr, and left behind NEWS OF THE WEIRD Caled as Compiled by A.P. McCredie copies of their faces. Said Rupert police officer Val Maxwell, “I wish more people would leave pictures for us at the scene.” William L. Swearingen pleaded guilty to the attempted bribery of state lottery officials in Baton Rouge earlier this year. It seems Swearingen had written a letter, complete with his name and address and 17 numbers that he normally plays, and suggested that if he could win two drawings, he would give most of the money in the second drawing back to the offi- cials. He added that he was tired of being poor and wanted to spend more time with his family. Wrote Swearingen, “I would like to win so that I could have about $375,000 each year to live on after state and federal taxes.” Northridge, California —- Two 18- year-old men robbed a bank just 10 days after the huge earthquake in January.

In a March Associated Press inter- view, Colin Ferguson, the African American man accused in the Long Istand Rail Road massacre last December in which six white peo- ple were shot to death and 19 wounded, denied he is a racist. “[Racism] destroys the very fiber of your being, any kind of hate based on race,” he said. “We can always absorb disagreement without inflicting wounds on any- one.” SC TE CNA A Nn re Af Friday, October 7, 1994 — North Shore News ~ 21 MEDITERRANEAN _ besa You are like the girl who always rose late; when she married in the next village and for the first time had to rise early, she saw the hoarfrost on the fields and said to the mother-in-law, ‘We don't have that in our village!’ Like ber, you think there is no love in the world, because you have never been awake early enough to encounter it, although every morning it is there on time...
