3.0 out of 5 stars Why flip?
Don't get me wrong. I love this film. I think it is one of the best action films out there. If I were just reviewing the film, it would have to be 4 or 5 stars. But this is the DVD. Where the best film is totally ruined by the film being double sided. Flipping half-way through, when the tension is building, is one of the worst ideas I have seen. Admittedly, the quality of...

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to The Rock.,

The Rock is directed by Michael Bay and written by David Weisberg, Douglas Cook & Mark Rosner. It stars Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris, David Morse, William Forsythe & Michael Biehn.
When a highly decorated army general (Harris) decides that he's had enough of his men dying, and not getting the credit they deserve; he commandeers Alcatraz prison with a crack unit of Mercs. The plan is to hold the government to ransom or unleash from the prison biological rockets to bring Armageddon down on America. Enter chemical weapons expert Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Cage), who is forced to team up with the only man ever to escape Alcatraz-the mysteriously incarcerated in secret John Patrick Mason (Connery)-to break into the Rock and thwart the plans of the Mercs.
So Cage as a chemistry expert who possible holds the fate of the world in his shaky hands? Connery, aged 66, as a tough prison escapee sporting a "Grunge" haircut? And Ed Harris, surely a bastion of patriotic Americana, turning bad and wanting to unleash hell on the Stars & Stripes? To expect nothing else but a berserker Michael Bayhem picture based on these facts is surely folly? He certainly has a varied CV does Bay, as do the leading actors on show here. But when on form, with writers prepared to put blood into the characters, Bay can deliver high octane entertainment if it features a cast clearly in tune with the material. Such is the case here. It's no award winner. Naturally. But it does have some political smarts in the script. And if you want explosions, shoot outs and quips aplenty? Then this really will serve you well for a couple of hours. 7.5/10

1)Sean Connery insisted the producers build a cabin for him on Alcatraz as he didn't want to travel from the mainland to the island every day; he got what he asked for.
2)Quentin Tarantino was an uncredited screenwriter on this film, along with Jonathan Hensleigh who wrote the shooting script.
3)Some of the Navy SEALs in the film were played by real Navy SEALS.
4)Arnold Schwarzenegger was offered the Mason role, but turned it down, he stated he regretted not taking the role, however, he still got to play a part as a convict with a mysterious past in Escape Plan (2013).
5)According to Michael Bay the script was written much more straight & serious than the final film. Most of the humorous moments & lines were improvised during filming.
6)In the scene in the interrogation room where FBI agent Stanley Goodspeed introduces himself to John Mason, John replies "But of course you are". This was exactly the same line he used when he met Plenty O'Toole in the casino scene in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds are Forever.
7)Sean Connery (Mason) says he was trained by British intelligence, like his old character James Bond.
8)Dedicated to producer Don Simpson, who died during production.
9)This movie marks the 3rd time that actor Michael Biehn has played a Navy SEAL. The first was in The Abyss (1989) while the second was in Navy Seals (1990).
10)Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais provided an uncredited re-write of Sean Connery's dialogue.
11)Body Count: 25
12)This is the first time The Rock has had a full uncut UK release.
What's The Story?
The safety of San Francisco hangs in the balance when General Francis X. Hummel & his renegade squad of US Marines take over the abandoned Alcatraz prison & threaten to launch a poison gas attack on the city if their demands are not met.
The FBI's response is to call in Stanley Goodspeed, a nerdy weapons expert & John Patrick Mason, a former SAS man who was the only man to escape Alcatraz & was eventually carrested & has been in prison for the last 30 years.
Goodspeed & Mason are sent into Alcatraz prison complex with the Navy Seals in a bid to prevent mass murder & save the residents of San Francisco.
Timelord Thoughts.
In 2014 everybody knows what to expect from a Michael Bay movie, fast cutting, relentless action, 360 degree swirling camera angles but back in 1996 Bay had only Bad Boys to his CV & with his second movie director Michael Bay delivers a excellent action movie that sees former James Bond, Sean Connery back doing what he does best - kicking ass.
The Rock sees the character of John Mason released after 30 years of incarceration aid a Navy Seals team to break into Alcatraz as Mason is the only man to have escaped from there many year's ago, also along for the ride is Stanley Goodspeed a chemical weapons expert who hopefully deactivate the weapon if need be & aid the Seals in stopping a former group of soldiers turned mercenaries from launching a chemical weapon attack on the US.
Sean Connery is excellent in the John Mason role giving the character a enigmatic nature who has a certain cool & calmness that allows Mason to have this air of mystery about him which hasn't been seen in a Connery film for ages & he certainly remembers his training as James Bond as Connery gets involved in many of the films gritty action sequences.
Nicholas Cage wasn't well known for action movies at the time of making this film but is brilliant cast as nerdy chemical engineer Stanley Goodspeed that seems taylor made character for Cage who shares such a great chemistry with Connery as the duo bicker & wisecrack to eventually relying on each other to survive Alcatraz.
Ed Harris I felt is the films weak link although this has nothing to do with Harris performance, there just isn't enough anger or rage to his character of Brigadier General Francis X Hummel who seemingly doesn't want to go through with launching the rocket on San Francisco, this character should've been the movie's main protagonist & been a dangerous threat & advisory to Mason & Goodspeed which sadly doesn't happen so in the end the film has no real villian which I felt it desperately needed.
The dialogue is sharp & witty including some cool one liners pulled off with great aplomb by Connery & Cage, while the script is decent & engaging enough for a action movie which doesn't require any pause for thought, just switch your brain off & go with it.
Producers, Jerry Bruckheimer & the late Don Simpson certainly got the best out there director on this movie as Michael Bay simply throws everything at the screen from fistfights, shootouts, explosions, car chases complete with 360 degree swirling camera angles & MTV fast cutting directs with a visual flare & passion, but it would help a little if Bay didn't feel the need to use his MTV style cutting in every action sequence it becomes at times nauseating, this type of filmmaking would become Bay's trademark visual style of directing action films known as Bay's action porn sequences but at least he gets the most out of the movie's $75 million dollar budget as every penny is up on screen.
No Blu-ray extras on this release but the film is completely uncut for the first time in the UK including Mason throwing the machete into a bad guys throat quoting "You must never hesitate" plus a few more impact shots & blood here & there, while the picture & sound quality is much more improved on Blu-ray compared to the last DVD release as is a far clearer & sharper looking image now complete with crystal clear sound remastering.
Overall, The Rock is a excellent entertaining fast paced action extravaganza & a wonderful switch your brain off & relax type of movie, while Connery & Cage prove to be an excellent double act & inject all the right ingredients into making this become a solid action classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTION-MOVIES OF THE 90'S',
rbmusicman (U.K) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rock [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is without doubt one of the best 'action' films of the '90's' .
A team of ex-army mercenairies led by a 'u.s' war hero 'General Francis X Hummel' ( played by 'Ed Harris') steal 'rocket launchers' and 'misiles' along with a deadly chemical to load.
The group take over 'Alcatraz' from where they hold 'San Francisco to ransom.
The military cheifs on the mainland assemble a 'crack' team to over-power the mercenairies and rescue the '81' hostages held, 'Nicholas Cage' plays the part of a chemical weapons' specialist 'Stanley Goodspeed'( F.B.I ) joins the team to hopefully disarm the misiles, because a full-on assault would be suicide the military chiefs approach an ex-S.A.S. officer 'John Patrick Mason' ( played by 'Sean Connery') who is years on still considered 'dangerous' , however being the only prisoner to have ever escaped from 'Alcatraz' he possesses special knowledge of 'the rock' he is offered his freedom for his assistance.
This is still a brilliant 'action' film which includes a 'superb' car-chase sequence, and great action and suspense on 'The Rock'
Is the film made in the mid-'90's' worth buying on 'blu-ray' ?
Well, technology has moved on considerably since the making of this film.
The transfer is in truth not the best, the visual defenition is obviously considerably enhanced, but not nearly as good as more recent transfer's, the 'audio' again is not as sharp as you might expect from more recent productions, however somewhat sharper
than on 'DVD'
The overall effect is enhanced and i am glad to have it in my 'Bu-ray' collection.
The bottom line is, it is a very good film, well worth revisiting or maybe watching for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rock - BluRay,
Grey Fox (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rock [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Well, based on the other review on Amazon, as well as a couple more elsewhere, I purchased The Rock on DVD last week. It had been my favourite film for a good few years after watching it shortly after it's release. Good story, stong and convincing characters played by Connery, Cage and Harris and a generally great action packed film. I then noticed Amazon's 3 for 2 on selected BluRay discs. Well, I wasn't sure what to buy. But after watching The Rock again I decided I wanted to give it a go, and see if the difference really was poor. In the end, I'd say no. It's a great improvement on the DVD Much clearer visually and the sound is also much better. I'd recommend buying this on BluRay, as it's a fantastic film, and I believe there is a marked improvement on the DVD, which is now going to a friend.
I watched it on my 26" Sony Bravia KDL26P3020U - via my Playstation 3 (HDMI) set to 1080i (although at this size, there's no difference between 1080i and 720p)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow,
Set in America on Alcatraz (Once a famous prison on an island off Mainland USA from which is said no-one escaped from. No one that is apart from Sean Connery, an secret Agent once working for British Secret Service who DID escape from Alcatraz and has been incarcerated. Now his services are required to get young FBI agent played by Nicholas Cage onto the Island, save hostages and stop
a lunatic soldiers from destroying through chemical welfare many tens of thousands of innocents
by special FBI agent with Chemical Warfare expertise. Various twists throughout this fast moving story. I've seen it four times
and still love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why flip?,
By A Customer
Don't get me wrong. I love this film. I think it is one of the best action films out there. If I were just reviewing the film, it would have to be 4 or 5 stars. But this is the DVD. Where the best film is totally ruined by the film being double sided. Flipping half-way through, when the tension is building, is one of the worst ideas I have seen. Admittedly, the quality of the remastering is superb, but why on two sides? Much longer films (eg. Heat) fit entirely on one side. Stick to VHS for this brilliant film, the DVD will leave you too disapointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Guns, and Sean.,
firstname.lastname@example.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
OK, it's not the best film that Simpson Bruckheimer and Bay, have produced. However, The Rock is still cool. It is interesting to see Nic Cage start on his path as action hero, and to see Sean Connery reprise his role of 007, (Isn't that the sort of mission 007 would have been sent on? Think about it, and the dates mentioned, what was connery acting in at the time?)
As with all the films that have digitally mastered on the cover, the picture is exceptional. I would have wanted more Bass in my explosions though, and the 5.1 soundtrack is not used to it's full potential. The film is still well worth it's purchase price, well done Amazon.
I would say that there are absolutely no extras though, when will the studios realise that we don't want to have to flip our disk half way through, and the reason we convert to DVD is for the additional information DVD provides. DVD is the format for the film buff and the studios should look at the extras provided on the JAWS special edition as an example of true value for money. Anyway enough moaning, if you liked The Rock at the cinema buy it, but not for any extras......

4.0 out of 5 stars The Rock (single disc edition) - Silly, but engaging and entertaining film,
Victor (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
This is a great film for that Friday night with a beer, pizza and a few friends. Embittered Army General Ed Harris has pinched a few nasty chemical warheads and has holed up on Alcatraz with them, threatening to launch them on San Francisco if the American Government does not meet his demands. Nicholas Cage is the amiable FBI chemicals expert tasked with defusing them. Sean Connery is the FBI's dirty secret, an Englishman held secretly in jail, who happens to be the only man to have escaped from Alcatraz, and is Cage's only hope of getting in.
Directed with vigour by Michael Bay, and featuring a talented cast who get right into the spirit of things, this is an enjoyable romp. With plenty of big stunts, gun fights, explosions, thrills and spills along the way it's big and loud and a lot of fun.
Presented in widescreen with a decent 5.1 surround sound, the only extra is a disposable commentary. However, this is a decent budget release of a great non-stop action thriller. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Repeatability,
By A Customer
I have watched this film both in the cinema and on its DVD release and find myself enjoying it each time. Sean Connery can limit himself due to his accent but in this film he meets all expectations. Both funny and tragic, it is Nicolas Cage who comes across as the new boy on the block but with or without expectations he still manages to meet the heroic demands of his character. Highly enjoyable with the American military coming across as there usual over the top movie type soldiers while the SAS Connery is the street wise kid from Glasgow (or more accurately Edinburgh) who just kills the bad guys in a more efficient way. As we Brits in the military really do of course.
4.0 out of 5 stars A top notch blockbuster,
chelios1981 (Glos, England) - See all my reviews
Bedfore Michael Bay took on asteroids and giant robots he directed two mid nineties action films that raised the game for the genre, Bad Boysband The Rock.
Badboys wad a kind of nineties Beverley Hills Cop, which is not a coincidence sine super producer Jerry Bruckheimer was behind both, whilst the rock gives a new twist on the hostage/terrorist takeover movies that hit cinemas in the wake of Diehard (another game changer for action fans).
Bay comes from the frentic music video style of direction, and style is what he is all about, he litterly took up the mantle from late great Tony Scott in fast action, fast editing and massive amounts of slow motion, all glossed in well lit heavy rainfall or golden sun lit skys.
The Rock is arguably Bays best film.
An adult action thriller, made better by an all star cast (most of the support actors are well known TV or film faces).
The three main leads Connery as grizzled convict, Cage as nerdy scientist and Harris as noble Marine General with a grudge against U.S goverment absolutely deliver in terms of making each character sympathetic and believable.
Harris and his team of marines take the 'Rock' and a bunch of tourists hostage demanding millions of dollars for former fallan comrades or he will rdlease Nerve gas rockets onto San Francisco kiling millions.
Cage is the super chemichal freak called into access the Island with a guard team of Navy seals and Connery's former inmate to make use of hi intimate knowledge of the facility.
Cue lots of jokey bickering between the nerd scientist and hardened (older James Bond); as they face off against the marines and try to find the nerve gas rockets.
Full of explosions, gun shoot outs,and an epic car chase this is a well scripted, well acted action fest that ranks amongst the best made.
It does sometimes get a little to gung ho and caught up in machoism but for the most part is an intelligent blockbuster ful of memorable scenes.

ON – Art Spiegelman Lecture
January 8, 2015 by Colin Solan
Filed under Canada, Comic Books, Comic Strips, Other, Signing and Appearance Profiles
The Koffler Centre of the Arts presents a remarkable evening with Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning artist/illustrator, comic book legend and author of Maus, at Bloor Hot Docs Cinema on Monday, January 26, 2015 at 7:00 PM.
Tickets for this event, which are $39 General Admission, $29 for Students, are now on sale at The Beguiling (in-store only). All tickets purchased at The Beguiling will entitle the purchaser to $10 off the regular price of Spiegelman's newest book, CO-MIX, an important and gorgeous career retrospective. Valid only at time of ticket purchase. Valid student I.D. required for Student Ticket pricing.
About This Event:
Art Spiegelman's comics are best known for their shifting cartoon styles and sometimes controversial contents. In his talk What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?, Spiegelman takes his audience on a chronological tour of the evolution of comics, all the while explaining the value of this medium and why it should not be ignored. In our post-literate culture the importance of the comic is on the rise, for "comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not in paragraphs." Presented by The Koffler Centre kofflerarts.org.
About Art Spiegelman in Toronto:
This December, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) will pay homage to Art Spiegelman with an exhibition highlighting the breadth of his career. Art Spiegelman's CO-MIX: A Retrospective opens at the AGO on December 20, 2014, and runs to March 14, 2015. Embracing the belief that comics are a medium for personal expression, Spiegelman once noted, "Spiegel means mirror in German, so what sounds like one more Jewish name co-mixes languages to form a sentence: Art mirrors man." Spiegelman has drawn inspiration from a wide range of sources in his work including politics, the Holocaust, Cubism and hard-boiled detective fiction. Maus, a two-volume graphic novel that recounts his parents' life in Nazi-occupied Poland and later at Auschwitz, was the first and only work of its genre to win the Pulitzer Prize, in 1992. The AGO's presentation of Art Spiegelman's CO-MIX: A Retrospective will display original manuscripts of Maus, rarely seen due to their fragility. The exhibition also features 300 works on paper ranging from trading cards to magazine covers. For more information, please visit ago.net.
About Art Spiegelman:
Art Spiegelman has almost single-handedly brought comic books out of the toy closet and onto the bookshelves. As part of the underground comix subculture of the 60s and 70s, Spiegelman created Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids; in 1980 he foundedRAW, the acclaimed avant-garde comics magazine; and in 1992 won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust narrative Maus – which portrayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. Maus II continued the remarkable story of his parents' survival of the Nazi regime and their lives later in America. In 2004, Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers was selected by The New York Times as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2004; in 2005 he was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People; and in 2006 was named to the Art Director's Club Hall of Fame.

Filed under Comic Books, Comic Strips, Oregon, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Comics Legend Neal Adams appears on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Cosmic Monkey Comics. First autograph is FREE! (Additional autographs are $10 each) Portfolios, Art Prints, Books and Sketches will be available for purchase!

Maybe get a Batman Black & White Variant blank with a Batman head sketch drawn on it. You can also call Jason at 212-869-4170.
Who is Neal Adams? Neal Adams is a towering figure in the world of comic book creation and art. Neal has had legendary 'runs' on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from the campy nostalgia of the television show, and re-fitted him in his present incarnation as an "Avenger of the Night." When people say 'modern Batman,' they mean Neal Adams' Batman. His run on Batman led directly to the new, more realistic incarnation in "Batman Returns" movie, which featured the character he created, Ra's Al Ghul. Neal just did an 8-page story in Batman Black & White #1. Don't miss out on picking one up at the store and having Neal sign it.
Neal is currently working on a Superman Series for DC Comics

San Jose Alejula Costa Rica
Our flight (Avianca airlines) from LAX landed SJO international airport at 22:30. Immigration and customs was a breeze. After around 45 minutes, we were outside arrival terminal.
Our next flight to Tortuguero National park was at 6:30 next morning, so we decided to spend the night at the airport. We went upstairs at the departure terminal. It was almost deserted since there was no flight flying out until next morning.
Skittles at the Summit
... a bit grumpy - legs were wobbly and giving out, big toenails were bruised and felt like they were going to fall off. My girl, Erin Wright once told me 18km was her limit for hiking in a day. If she has to hike more, she chants "mac 'n cheese" to get her to the end. Since I can't really eat mac 'n cheese and we are in CR, we started chanting "refried beans" to get us through. Each kilometer felt like ten miles. But we got through.

No tan rapido por favor.
... We assumed this was soda, bit it was actually a fruit juice that was freshly made and was absolutely delicious. I ordered some arroz con pollo which is chicken rice, cilantro, and a few veggies. Holy goodness. We ended the meal with two more frescos and some delicious desert. I don't know what it was, but Costa Rica is winning so far in the food category. We paid something like...$20.00 each and treated ourselves to a feast for our first night. Pura Vita!

I apologise for the delay in my latest post as I have no doubt you have been waiting with baited breath for updates on my progress. Given that I am here in Costa Rica for a particular purpose, it's probably about time I gave you some insight into my volunteer work.

Todo que es bueno en el mundo
... a lot of time where things could be changing.
Aside from the family life differences, I've realized that everything in Costa Rica moves at a slower pace, yet a better pace. A more satisfied, tranquility filled pace...which is explains why every one's word of choice for any matter is "tranquila" which basically means calm down, or that every thing is find. This is one thing that I've come to appreciate. ...

Even well-meaning parents can get so annoyed at what they perceive to be a "bad" habit that they start to scold or punish their child in a misguided attempt to rid him of it. But focusing excessive attention on his behavior can backfire, and may only make your child more stubborn. Even worse, nagging or teasing can leave him feeling discouraged and miserable.
The good news is that childhood habits are usually harmless and tend to disappear, especially if you refrain from dwelling on them. Instead of criticizing your child, try to pinpoint possible sources of stress or tension at home or school and provide a secure, relaxed environment for him. Offer additional comforting and cuddling, and pay more attention to his positive qualities. If he wants help breaking the habit, ask him if he'd like you to give him gentle reminders.
Here are seven common habits of childhood, with some strategies to adopt while you're waiting for your little one to leave them behind.
Contributing editor Marianne Neifert, M.D., is a pediatrician affiliated with HealthONE and Rose Medical Center, in Denver.

I was recently commissioned to paint The Twelve Apostles, and I immediately jumped at the opportunity to do so. I always wanted to paint an illustration that was religious themed, so I put a lot of thought and care into this project. The illustration was very challenging and time consuming, I must admit; Never before have I painted an illustration featuring such a large cast of characters, but I was up for the challenge.
This painting will be featured in an upcoming publication as well titled "The Vested World", and will be available sometime of March of next year.

Customer Reviews
Like the bicycle
SavvyShopper101 from Shrewsbury, MA – Verified Buyer
My toddler son, who was riding a Y-bike to learn balancing, took to this easily. We like the design and the fact that we could steer it as he was learning to ride the bike. It has adjustable seat heights that we are hoping will let us use this bike next year as well.
Birthday bike

Kevin from Spring Grove, PA – Verified Buyer
This is a great bike. I am very pleased with the quality of this bike and my 3 year old loves it. Great starter bike for youngsters and very easy to put together. Definitely recommend.
Love this bike but it has some flaws
Nguyen from San Jose, CA – Verified Buyer
This bike does not have pedals that turn when the bike rolls, when pushing my grandson on this bike he pushes down or starts to pedal backward, it brakes! Any other little kid's bike has pedals that rotate when the bike moves giving them forwards momentum and a guide when pedaling. This bike just brakes if their pedal rhythm isn't perfect. The manual has instructions for BMX bikes and mountain bikes and everything. but it does not include instructions specifically for this bike. The adult handle is not in line with the front wheel. Meaning - when pushing, the handle is cocked to the side. Other than that, it is a good bike and my grandson loves it.

Our last full day in Levi
Today we didn't do much. Had a leisurely start to the day and then went for a walk in the snow. It was a lot warmer today, only about -10 and lightly snowing.
We had to return our hired trousers etc by 4pm so when we walked back from there it was just in jeans ...
Woohooo another trip on the snowmobile!
... photo opportunity and then continued onto the property. There were some little huts there and a communal hut with a nice fire in the centre. Tania had gone ahead to get the fire going and the soup and hot berry juice on. The soup was delicious. We also had coffee and biscuits.
We then set off on the return, stopping for another photo opportunity on the way back. This time we drove up Lake Immeljarvi where we had gone to see the Aurora ...
It´s Husky Day!
... teams of 6 dogs to the 3 sleds. The dogs were barking and howling and jumping around, biting each other, growling at each other. It was chaos!! However, once they were all harnessed up they settled down a bit and we took our places. We took off!! One foot on the brake to slow them at first but after 500m or so, the guide let rip and we were off. There is no steering, the dogs know where to go and they can only follow the track cut ...
Pottering around Levi
... pint of Hoegaarden each, then went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner and returned to our cottage. By the way, this is where we are staying:

We had bought some pork and made a stew and also bought some reindeer meat and made ...
Day: A quick trip to Sweden
... is a synonym for bitter cold temperatures ...
Slowly, slowly the Blue Hour gave room to a faint sunrise, the sun was just hitting the horizon, crawled a little bit above and along the skyline and quickly started to drop and disappear, giving again room for an other extended Blue Hour. These very short days are so unusual but fascinating for us.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Religious schools keep on growing
Immigration boosting enrolments
It's not alone -- half a dozen faith-based private schools are expanding or trying to raise the money for major improvements.
Private school educators say the largest schools have stable enrolment, or are growing a little each year thanks to recent immigration, while there's a steady birth-rate decline in public school enrolment.
Trouble is, private schools don't receive a penny of capital funding from the provincial government, no benefactor is stepping forward with seven-figure cheques and expansion is a multimillion-dollar challenge.
"We're over 100 per cent capacity. We're having to be very creative in our timetabling," said Linden Christian principal Rob Charach, whose school is at capacity with 870 kids, three classes in every grade from kindergarten through Grade 12.
The school just west of at Waverley Street on Wilkes Avenue has four portables on the north side, but it wants to build a second full-sized gymnasium there, while adding classroom and band and choir space.
"It's moving north -- we're landlocked east and west," Charach said. "The big feature is a new gymnasium. It would be a full gym, with the capacity to be divided in half.
"We need more classroom space" to meet the current need, with no plans to expand to more classes per grade.
Linden Christian's officials have been to West Kildonan Collegiate to look at that school's open commons area, WKC's version of a town square. "We're trying to do something like that," Charach said.
Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute is continuing an expansion aimed at hitting 600 enrolment in grades six to 12, principal Norbert Bargen said.
"In 2005, we added a middle school addition to our building, and a library and drama facility," he said. "In March or April, we are putting an administration wing on our school and a multipurpose room. Our plan is to take down a portion of our old school on Talbot Avenue."
Rejected by city hall and the community for an expansion of its current site, Westgate Mennonite Collegiate has an extensive plan on its website that envisions relocating within three to five years to a central location on main traffic and bus routes.
Westgate might have had its pick of school buildings had the government not imposed a moratorium on school closures, but the only public school currently on the market is the former Deer Lodge junior high on Ness Avenue, most recently leased for government offices.
"We have looked at that, and it doesn't meet our criteria," said Westgate principal Bob Hummelt. The school is looking for a surplus building with 12 to 14 classrooms and a senior high gym. "The less we have to build, the better," said Hummelt.
Fundraising is the major hurdle for Catholic schools, said Robert Praznik, education director for the Archdiocese of Winnipeg. The archdiocese will not allow parishes to take out long-term bank loans for school capital projects, he said.
"It sometimes takes 20 years. It takes (fundraising through) a lot of perogies and a lot of donations," Praznik said.
Growth in Catholic schools is limited only by building capacity, he said.
"We're up about two per cent this year and last year," Praznik said. "We have a large immigrant population. A lot of our schools have gone to full-day kindergarten."
St. Mary's Academy's expansion is well underway.
Meanwhile, Immaculate Heart of Mary School -- operated on Flora Avenue since 1905 -- has purchased a property at the north end of Salter Street, near the Vince Leah Community Centre and the city's sewage treatment plant, Praznik said. "It used to be a cement works."
On Selkirk Avenue, Holy Ghost School is finishing construction to link two neighbouring but separate buildings, which has forced students and staff to walk outside: "They're connecting the buildings. They're adding a kindergarten room, a classroom, and a computer room," Praznik said.
Who's got plans
to get even bigger
Winnipeg's faith-based private schools are in an expansion mood:
St. Mary's Academy has already launched construction of a multi-phase addition of performing arts, fitness and library space along Academy Road to Stafford Street.
Westgate Mennonite Collegiate is looking at relocating the school in three to five years.
Linden Christian School plans a $4.5-million expansion to include a second full-sized gym and more classrooms.
Mennonite Brethen Collegiate Institute continues its renovations with an administrative wing and multipurpose room replacing aging space on Talbot Avenue.
Immaculate Heart of Mary School has bought property for a new school in West Kildonan near Vince Leah Community Centre.
Holy Ghost School is connecting its two buildings on Selkirk Avenue and adding three rooms.
St. Emile School still hopes to replace the school with a new building.

Planning decision stirs rural concern
One county commissioner wants to limit urban influence on panel
May 24, 2010
Douglas County commissioners are preparing to appoint two people to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, and one of the three elected officials is drawing a line in the sand.
County Commissioner Jim Flory, a Republican, says he will not vote to support any potential appointee who lives inside the city limits of Lawrence. The planning commissioners whose terms are expiring — Jeff Chaney and Richard Hird — are the only ones on the 10-member commission who live outside of town.
Hird, a board member of Rural Water District No. 2, is willing to be reappointed. Chaney is not.
"It's critical we consider rural residents, and see that they have a seat at the table," Flory said last week. "They deserve a seat at the table."
County Commission Chairwoman Nancy Thellman and fellow Commissioner Mike Gaughan, both Democrats, have declined to endorse Flory's stance. Appointees need only be residents of the county, and that includes each and every address in Lawrence.
Individually, Thellman and Gaughan say they are busy reviewing résumés and conducting interviews to determine who would best serve the county and its residents, regardless of a potential appointee's home address.
"We're taking our time," Thellman said last week.
The Lawrence City Commission appoints five members to the planning commission, and the County Commission appoints the other five. The 10 planning commissioners each serve three-year terms, and those of Chaney and Hird expire May 31.
County commissioners plan to discuss potential appointments at their next meeting, which begins at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets.
Planning commissioners prepare, adopt and maintain long-range plans for land use, transportation and other aspects of development within the city of Lawrence and unincorporated areas of the county. They also review zoning applications, development plans and other items considered critical to construction, redevelopment or preservation projects.

UNB Varsity Reds Thread
Maybe it is time to leave the CIS University Cup thread ...
I was the only semi-media guy at the UNB Mens Hockey Seniors Banquet last night, so theres a few things I can pass along. This is the second year in a row the banquet was held in this format, hosted by Brian Johnson and Kingswood in their beautiful lodge. Since this is now the occasion when graduating players get their team jersey and a plaque, and Gardiner has done his post-season interviews, you can be pretty certain that these guys are done:
Rob Hennigar will be signing a pro contract today. Official (and finally on-the-record) press conference is Wednesday or Thursday? Finished four years of school. Not aware if he has enough credits to graduate yet.
Michael Ouzas signed AHL ATO with the Toronto Marlies and started practicing with them yesterday. Graduated with BRSS in two years as he brought two years of credits with him.
Brad Efthimiou Completed his four-year Business degree in three years. Looking to play pro hockey in Europe before getting a real job.
Nathan ONabigon Graduating with his BBA after four years, although he has three courses to pick up over the summer.
Denny Johnston Completed his fifth year of eligibility, and will graduate with a cumulative 4.1 GPA. It was not discussed last night, but Ive heard rumblings hes planning on heading back west and going into grad school.
Lucas Madill Completed his fifth year of eligibility after first four years at McGill. Will still be at UNB finishing his Masters (MSESS) next year.
Andreas Johannson The Swede completed his BBA in three years. May play some pro back in Sweden.
So looks like Gardiner will be looking for at least seven recruits
Ewww V-Reds
Hennigar signed with the New York Islanders. WOOHOO!! And I don't say that only because he'll be out of our hair next year, but I'm genuinely happy to see somehow from the CIS (and especially AUS) sign a pro contract. And this guy has a chance to make the Isles eventually, or at least have a very good career in the AHL.
Didn't know Ouzas had signed already too, another hurrah!
The rest aren't surprising, as they all finished their eligibility. I wonder if there's any chance more will leave?
FreddtFoyle, can you use your supermedia powers to find out if the ice problem at the AUC is going to be resolved before next season?
That'd be a good one too... don't know what kind of condition it was to play on, but it looked nasty :p
And from what I heard from V-Reds and AUC personnel over the winter, it won't be fixed anytime soon. From what I hear, it's total roof job that needs to be done, and runs over a million.
Besides..It's part of our secret strategy to make wonky ice that only VReds players can familiarize themselves with, to learn the puck bounces. Gives us an edge to compete against those teams made to play on their Olympic ice surfaces, and neutralizes the advantage of below-standard sized rinks with irregular corners and end boards like the LBR and JLL. ;)
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo. Don't move the Aigles. Not unless it's into a new arena of our own anyways. I love the JLL, it's like a shrine to the Aigles Bleus :p Here's how I'd rate the rinks in the AUS:
Aitken Center - Great place, even better staff VERY classy bunch of people there. And there's nothing like taking 2 points from the Reds at their place :)
Acadia Arena - Very nice rink.
Keating Millenium Center - Awesome from the outside, bleh inside.
Jean Louis Levesque - Home away from home.
MacLauchlan Arena - Nice place, about as cold as you can get in the upper sections.
LBR - For some reason, it doesn't seem as intimidating as it was 10 years ago as a 12 year old, but that wall is something else.
Halifax Forum - Old building, has it's charms but freezing also
Dal Plex - Can't stand it, dressing rooms seem to date from the 20's.
Honourable mentions go to Alumni Arena (you ever seen those boards kexodusc?) on campus at SMU.
As for the roof leaks, that is an issue when there is ice buildup on the roof and then you have a lot of rain on top of that. Apparently the water doesn't drain properly due to ice fill, so it pools on then roof and then creeps under the roofing. I had something similar happen to my carport roof this winter. I know they plan to deal with this issue, but I don't know how or when.
All, I'm saying is move to the 4-Ice (just minutes away) for a year (the capacity is about the same and the same seating configuration) and give the grand ol' J-Louis a good cleaning, re-do the seating, boards and glass. It feels and smells like a basement.
Oldest rink in Greater Moncton and it's been a long while since anything's been spent on it.
Mold? I'v never smelled mold in the rink before... and what your wishing for isn't going to happen anytime soon, trust me on that one :p
Ice is out at AUC
Happened to be over to the AUC today and the ice is out and they are working on fixing those problem coolant pipes in the west end of the rink (below the Colter Room).
UNB should sign a big-time bodychecker to replace Perry. He was so fun to watch (a hip-check every three minutes). In fact, we have a lot of roles we need to fill. Luckily, Tremblay seems able to fill the role Hennigar leaves open, it's just I'm unsure how much of his success was on account of Hennigar.
UNB announces Hockey "Grand Slam"
A bit of a double-post, but I feel it is important to post it here as well:
At a ceremony last night the UNB Varsity Reds announced what coach Gardiner MacDougall characterized as "the best ever CIS non-conference schedule" for the upcoming 2008-09 hockey season.
UNB's 12-game non-conference schedule will feature four key home games they are branding a "Grand Slam". On September 24th the NY Islander rookie squad will play the V-Reds at the Aitken University Centre (AUC), most likely with UNB graduate and CIS male-athlete-of-the-year Rob Hennigar in the line-up. Last season UNB beat the the Islander squad 3-1 at their training camp in Moncton.
On Saturday, October 12th the Maine Black Bears will make their first visit to the AUC since their program became a national contender. Maine AD Blake James made the trip from Orono for the occasion in order to formalize the announcement that UNB and Maine will now play annually (they've played the last two years in Orono) and in accordance with NCAA international travel regulations the Black Bears will play the annual game in Fredericton every fourth year. James noted that it only took him two and a half hours to get to Fredericton "without speeding too much" and UNB would/could represent Maine's closest future "rival", as arch-rival New Hampshire is Maine's closest Division 1 competitor at just over three hours away. Additionally UNB Director of Athletics Kevin Dickie stated that UNB and Maine's other varsity sports teams plan to make more regular cross-border trips.
Finally, and not least, the NCAA champion Boston College Eagles will be making their first visit to Fredericton since coach Jerry York was a rookie player with the team to play the V-Reds for two games on January 2 and 3, 2009. This apparently marks the first occasion a reigning NCAA champion has traveled to play in Canada the season immediately after winning their championship.

Alberta may play three NHL rookie teams in successive nights in September and then gets Denver, Colorado College and Air Force in three games in three nights in October.
Might give UNB a run for that honour.
Oh by the way, looks like the Pirates from the Atlantic are raiding the West again.
UNB has picked up both Daine Todd and now defenceman Bretton Staemler out of the WHL.
Todd has skill and finished up with a ppg with Medicine Hat this season, and Staemler who is from Edmonton, was miscast as a captain in Edmonton with the expansion Oil Kings before playing in Swift Current this season.
Funny how a school that can't support women's hockey; has enough money to give out "leadership" awards to recruits from across the country.
Come on Bob, not every Albertan want to breathe hydrocarbons and some want to come out east and enjoy the laid-back Maritime lifestyle.
Besides, we've lost too many of our young people lured west by the eco-dirty dollar of the oil patch ...
In saying that I will add one thing: Someone had better get these two some snow shovels...
