Whirr. down, you punks. out, hoodlums. Does this sound familiar? For local ' Brigham City skateboarders it does. Similar to an incident in Ogden, Brigham City skaters were banned from Main Street. These skaters could not board from Whoosh, 1 tlf V 4 . f - L Ever After ridt just a chick flick 1st correspondent A nd they lived . V' happily ever JL X after. Jjjound familiar? If so, youve probably read some sort of fatty tale or seen a Distley movie or two. But1 can teens relate to this very simple phrase, describing the perfect ending to a tragic life and the stdrt 6f a new and better one, consisting of That certain loved one and maybe a loyal dog? i 4 doubt that the majority of teens can. Most teens have one common, sad and tragic goal: to marry some girl or guy with rich parents so that they can take cruises to Hawaii and buy a car for every day ,of the week. ,',,If they dont, they are deprived little children. In Ever After: A Cinderella Story," Daniella (played by Drew Barrymore) is thg true deprived child. Not only is she forced to work as a servant in her father's house, she doesn't even have the $40,000 BMW horse that all the other kids on the block have. country girl Daniella, the tom-bo- y who loves her father and never knew her mother, gets quite a surprise when her father returns with not only a new mom but-twsisters for her, Marguerite and Jacqueline, who is a larger, more loving cist on of Marguerite. But tragically the Mpptly ever after doesnt come yet, iccause papa dies and step-moiodmilla (Anjelica Huston) is in charge.
