Paul-Andre Petrin wants to hear from you. Petrin is the organizer of the Canada World Youth (CWY) exchange which is bringing to Midland eight Uruguayans dnd eight Canadians. "The benefit will not be one-sided," he said. '"'The group and the community will gain from it.' The host families will learn some Spanish, and perhaps some French, depending on the background of the Cana- dian, he said. The CWY participants will be billeted in pairs, a Canadian and a Uruguayan. Host families will receive $55 per person per week. The visitors will Junior sent to Penetang Monday A 60-year-old Midland man charged with ag- gravated assault was sent to the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre on Monday for assessment. Manuel Junior, of Fourth Street, was arrested on Ju- ly 14 following the stabbing of 16-year-old Eric Mor- timer of Victoria Harbour. Mortimer was stabbed two or three times in the back while he was playing pool in R and R Amusements, town police said. The wounds were not serious. Junior appeared for at least three and perhaps four bail hearings before he was taken "to the Mental Health Centre. The court was having difficulty com- municating with him. e kids arrive on Sept. 15. The visitors, all between age 17 and 21, will do volunteer work while here. In 1989 the eight Canadian participants will spend three months in Uruguay. The exchange is design- ed to teach the young peo- ple about community organizations, the educa- tion system, social vices, issues facing youth, and leadership, he said. Canada World Youth is funded by the Canadian In- ternational Development Agency. CWY was started in 1971 by Senator Jacques Hebert (who gained notoriety for his 1986 hunger strike on Parlia- ment Hill to save another brainchild of his, the Katimavik youth program).

This time around he has to travel to New York to help his friend and creator, Benjamin. He and his partner (Michael McKean) have started a toy robot manufacturing company and they.need Johnny 5 to help them assemble the pieces. Once in the big ci- ty, the robot runs wild with all the new sights and sounds at his disposal. Short Circuit came out in 1986 (as an ET clone) and it starred Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy and had Fisher Stevens along for comedy relief. This time around, Guttenberg has bailed out, Fisher's Indian accent wears thin after 10 minutes and the female romantic interest is an Al- ly Sheedy look-alike. To save money through tax breaks, the producers filmed the entire movie in Toronto. All the money they saved, they had to spend in their obsessive ef- fort to have every scene look American, so no one will notice that Toronto doesn't look like New York City. We are bombarded with views of red, white and Avoid the Circuit blue mailboxes, American flags and yellow cabs. The script and acting are aimed at the 10-year-old and under crowd so it's a mystery why some scenes contain profanity. It's good to see veteran character actor Jack Weston working as one of the heavies. Steer clear unless you're taking your 10-year-old. Rating: * Binnie Trim Mooctornes Inc.
