City to celebrate 95th birthday Sat. Plans are taking shape to honor Edmond on its 95th birthday, scheduled for Saturday in Stephenson Park in the old Armory building. The event will be sponsored by the newly formed Edmond Historical Society but will need a great deal of support from the community in order to be successful. Civic clubs and organizations, the Chamber of Commerce and local schools have been asked to participate in the promotion and arrangements for the celebration. A children's covered wagon parade is scheduled to kickoff the festivities at "high noon" which is historically referred to as the time of the day the Run of '89 started. Wagons and costumes designed by school children from their studies of Oklahoma history will be displayed in the parade around the park. Blue Grass music along with local square dance groups and country dancing will be featured entertainment under the pavillion located in the center of the park. Inside the old Amory building a special collection of historical 1889 memorabilia and artifacts will be on display for the public. Also inside the building a show and sale of antiques and collectibles called "The Heritage Market," sponsored by the Edmond Historic Trust, will be held in the Parade Room starting at 10 a.m.
Tickets will be sold in a drawing for a handpainted china doll dressed in heritage clothing to raise money toward a memorial marker for Milton K. Reynolds. For a nostalgic atmosphere, a covered wagon and a restored surrey will be circling the park giving rides to both children and adults. A photographer will be on hand to capture the scene on film and take orders for pictures. Civic clubs, organizations and school groups are encouraged to rent space on the grounds to sell concessions or promote their current fund raising projects. The program to commemorate Edmond's 95th birthday will feature a speaker on Milton Kickingbird Reynolds. Reynolds was selected to be memorialized for his great contributions not only as one of Edmond's founding fathers, but also for his role in opening the territory for the run. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed 89'er. The program will include a show of vintage apparel or replicas of 89'er era clothing. In order to promote the Edmond Historic Preservation Trust's goals of renovating the old Armory to house a historical museum for Edmond, a fund raising promotional called "Stake A Claim in Edmond's History" will be held during the day. Prominent citizens and elected officials will be "locked up" in the "Heritage Hoosegow" with a bounty set on them.

By Carolyn Irons "Romancing the Stone" is the kind of adventure movie just for grown-ups. It has all the ingredients of a true-to-life classic cliff-hanger. It is set in an exoctic locale, has a beautiful heroine to constantly get in trouble, a gallery of ruthless ruffians to dish out the danger and a dashing hero to give them back a little of their own medicine. The story is told from the feminine point of view of the protagonist, played with a style and comedic savvy by Kathleen Turner of "Body Heat." Turner plays her character, Joan Wilder, with intelligence as well as good comic timing. Delighted moviegoers laugh with her and love with her as she becomes involved in one untimely predicament after another. A lonely, successful romance novelist, Wilder lives out her fantasies through her own stories, crying over her typewriter as she brings her next novel to an end. Her dull life in New York takes an unexpected turn when she recieves a package from her
sister's husband in Colombia containing an old, mysterious map. Next, her apartment is ransacked and she recieves a phone call from her sister, who has been kidnapped. Review Nerves on edge and unprepared, she travels to Colombia where she begins to play out all the daring dangers of her novels. Her troubles begin to mount like a rolling snowball, taking on one hair-raising adventure after another. Once she gets to Colombia she's followed by a sleezy thug, played by Danny DeVito, and a small militia of local police led by a corrupt Federale, Manuel Ojeda, who's also after the map. She winds up getting on the wrong bus with Ojeda and finds herself stranded in the middle of the jungle, looking like a 5th Avenue businesswoman. Her luck takes a turn for the worse when she finds herself held at gunpoint by Ojeda who demands the map. Feeling like a cornered mouse
about to be mauled, she is scared and hiding under the disabled bus, when a tall, unshaven stranger comes onto the scene whipping a .12-gauge pump shotgun over his shoulder. He scares off the villian and retrieves her from under the bus, introducing himself as Jack Colton (Micheal Douglas). Colton is the rugged adventurer type who would fit right into one of her novels. They negotiate a deal in which Colton says that his "price for taking a stranding lady to a telephone is $500." Eventually he takes $375 in traveler's checks. Douglas, who does an excellent job portraying the lone adventurer whose attitude is hard and direct, shows his versatility as an actor as goes from one extreme to the next. The Mexican actor Alfonso Arcue is hilarious as the doperunning character who gives the pursuing army a merry chase. The characters are outrageous and larger-than-life. With just a little nudity and some violence, "Romancing the Stone" is a picture just for us grown-ups.
