State tries to open center OMAHA (AP) — State officials planning a visitor center at Chimney Rock in western Nebraska will try to work out a potential problem with a landowner in the area, a spokesman said Tuesday. Gordon Howard, who owns land where the proposed $474,000 center would be built, apparently is upset about plans to pump water to the visitor center location, said state His torical Society spokesman Bob Selzer. Howard has posted no-trespassing signs on property that he owns near Chimney Rock. The society originally selected a site for the center southeast of the Or egon Trail landmark, which is located near Bayard in the Panhandle. Bayarc is about 20 miles eastof Scottsbluff. Tests showed that water at the preferred visitor center site was noi adequate, and the society then se lected an alternate site. Howard owns both locations, and had agreed to give the society any five acres it picked foi the visitor center, Selzer said. At a June 5 society board meetinj in Red Cloud, engineers said the firs site southeast of the rock could b< used if water was pumped to the site The cost of pumping would remaii within the budget for the project, Seize said. •; Board members then switched thei preference back to the original site. i-!--— I I I I I I 17th A‘N’St ' I No Appointments Necessary I | 476-9466 | r J Full service uii unange j jfi. <® ©j | (Reg %24 96) | | * We change oil, oil filter up to 5 quarts.

Paradise ‘Grand Canyon’ comes to Lincoln Martin and Glover star in hit now available at video stores By Gerry Bettz Staff Reporter This week’s only big release is the dramatic “Grand Canyon” (rated R), bringing with it a cavalcade of talent including Danny Glover (the “Lethal Weapon” trilogy), Steve Martin (“HousesitieO, Kevin Kline ("A Fish Called Wanda”) and Mary Louise Parker (“Longtime Companion”). ‘Grand Canyon”is not only agood movie, but it is also a movie that makes you think while it progresses. It also displays one of Martin’s best supportive performances. Check it out. Tnoyjp _ Also tentatively slated for release this week (i.e. call before you drive out) is an early release of die block buster thriller rThe Hand That Rocks The Cradle,” (rated R) starring Re becca DeMomay and Ernie Hudson. “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle” features a truly chilling performance from DeMomay. Her performance, as well as Hudson’s touching portrayal of a mentally-handicapped handyman, make the movie well worth watching. The movie is a rollercoaster ride from beginning to end, but is definitely not for the timid or weak-hearted. Another tentative release for the week are episodes of the short-lived television series “The Flash,” based on the popular DC Comics faster than-light character. ’Batman' Continued from Page 7 For you movie trivia buffs out there, the Penguin’s father is none other than Paul “Pee-Wee Herman” Reubens, and one of the Penguin’s publicists is played by Jan Hooks from Saturday Night Live. The music for the movie, provided by Danny Effman, helps deepen the dark and dismal atmosphere. It is very powerful and works beautifully. The only drawback to the movie is that its content may be just a bit too dark and mature for the youngsters of the movie-going crowd. The movie is somewhat violent and many of the humorous comments of the movie have some not-so-sublle sexual refer ences. “Batman Returns” is definitely worth seeing, but see it before the kids do, just in case. However, for those who want to wait for the movie to hit the discount theaters, get comfy; “Batman Returns” pulled in approxi mately $45.7 million on opening weekend, shattering the previous record holder by over $5 million. And what was the original record holder? ... Burton’s first “Batman” with $40.6 million, of course.
