Right now local campaign signs litter front yards and street corners. Everywhere you look there's a collage of sign mes- sages in a spectrum of colour popping out at you clamouring for your vote. The issues facing the municipality seem less im- portant than who has the most signs, the most press coverage or the most direct flyers. Driving around the street cor- ner used to be something the a, erage citizen had to pay atten- tion to, not knowing which way the one way sign pointed or which car had the stop sign or right of way. Now. peeking around election signs makes the whole idea of going to the mall somewhat more adventurous if not more hazardous. Concentrating less on the is- sues and the ideas that improve the community, the candidate in- stead feels committed to putting up fancy signs or creating fly- ers DaVinci would have been proud of. Locked in this struggle of getting the message to the voter. the candidate i, dri,. en by the believe that the priority of every candidate should be to get the voters talking about the is- sues that matter most to their campaigns. They fear being vir- tually ignored by the voter and consequently the proliferation of signs, catch words and press coverage dominate the election strategy. The seasoned candidate under- stands the important contribu- tion volunteers make. Volunteer who man the telephones and call voters to explain the key elements of their candidates platform and to explain his posi- tion on the current issues effect- ing their municipality are the real indispensable element of a successful election campaign. The volunteers who share the candidates zeal for a campaign with integrity are the volunteer who walk cold streets to deliver the message. The confidence the volunteer has in the candidate is transferred to the voter who knows little of the candidate and sometimes less of the issue, but they sense the commitment of the volunteer and gain new con- fidence in the candidate. In an interview regarding the Barbara Hall, Mel Lastman race, Sylvia Giovanella, president of the Etobicoke Federation of Ratepayers and Residents Asso- ciation was quoted as saying, "I think the public is starting to pay attention. They're coming around and realising how im- portant an election it is." Is there an election that isn't important? People are elected by a majority of the voters and are mandated with the obligation to represent their constituents in the most professional and honest way. They are going to make deci- sions for people who do not have the skill or the tigte to ar- ticulate their concerns. They're going to make decisions that af- fect you. Municipal politics used to be the safe haven for people who really believed that they could make a difference by going to bat for local issues that thev fer- vently believed needed a cham- pion. Candidates who share the "Thc choices we make the marketing strate,_,ies and new techniques we use. keep us on the competitive edge." We are the choice "A successful career in the real estate when buying or business means having choices." selling your home. Selling New homes or Resales. 1400 Bayle Street, Pickering, ON.

Elected mem- bers of our Provincial and Fed- eral parties are active in their support of candidates who es- pouse the same political incli- nations leaving the sole idealist with nothing more than the sin- cere desire to champion a cause. Municipal candidates have to be judged on their capabilities in articulating the issues and their perceived skill at getting the job done. Instead the strategists try to sell the sizzle. The irony of course is that all signs, flyers and promotions aside, the voter will ultimately decide on the candidate who best represents the voters ideals of leadership, intestinal fortitude and skill at getting the job done. When the election is over the only thing left to do, is hope we haven't left or elected a mess. That is of course after all the banners, signs and posters are taken down, and of course after all the lawsuits are issued. In the end, maybe we should just vote for who has the best sign. This voters top five list will provide you with a sure way to recognise you're suffering post election blues: 1. You took one of the election signs and it's now the centre piece of a shrine in your living room. 2. Every time you pass a soggy waterlogged field, you think to yourself "what a great place to hold a rally." 3. You break into tears every time _you hear some talk about Hydro, Taxes and garbage dump 4.

The greatest of these is achieving the look of professionalism. No one will take you seriously if you're in your pajamas all day. Nor will you have credibility if your business telephone is used by everyone in your family. You must build your business on pro- fessionalism and high standards. Simply stated, you cant have screaming kids, slamming doors, or the television blaring as you conduct business. Remember, you want your clients attention on you. Wear your badge of pro- fessionalism from the moment you start until closing time. Even when you are out in the field, at social gatherings, or the PTA your image projects the results of the work you do. You need to dress for comfort while you pro- ject a pleasant image, which will draw attention to you. Always carry business cards with you. You never know when you will come across someone who may become a client. In work -from - home businesses paving attention to the smallest of de- tails makes all the difference. You will want to be better, more effective, and more professional than your counterparts. The international Homework- ers Association has thousands of work -at-home jobs across ;North America.

There are two basic things to know about bank charges -why they exist and how _ to save on them. First. why are there bank charges'' Every time you make a transaction, like write a cheque or pay a bill, it costs your bank money in salaries, equipment. postaetle. courier and several other expenses. If your bank didn't char- for these transac- tions, it would lose money on your account and thousands of others like it. if the bank also paid interest on these accounts, it would lose even more. While this may not make you weep uncontrollably, it would be a plainly poor way to run a business. Fortunatelv, many banks offer customers several ways to re- duce or eliminate bank charges. If . ou keep a certain minimum monthl,* balance in selected ac- counts -S1000 at CIBC-)ou won't pa) one nickel in charges. U'hv'' Because your deposit is large enough to be earning money for the bank instead of losing money -and it's eaming in- terest for you too. Consolidating your accounts might help you reach this threshold. If you just can't maintain this minimum monthly balance. there are still many other ways to save. CIBC and other banks offer flat -rate service packages that cover cheques, bills and other important extras like certi- fied cheques and money orders. CIBC also has additional service packages specifically for seniors and post -secondary students. Bankers under age 19 receive al- most all services free of charge. You can also plan your every- day banking transaction to minimize charges. Pre -autho- rized payments are the easiest and least expensive way to make periodic payments and you never pay an overdue charge. Overdraft protection eliminates the cost and embarrassment of NSF cheques. Interac direct payment or "debit" card transactions are cheaper than cheques. Most transactions are cheaper than cheques. \.lost transactions through a bank machine or by telephone banking cost less than in -branch. Review your record-keeping needs as well. Are you paying extra to have your cancelled cheques returned? For a S1.50 monthly savings on imaev,ed cheques. CIBC can send you a statement page with reduced im- ages of your cancelled cheques. Otherwise:, a bank book may be all you need. Bank books on basic value statements are free with CiBC packs. Go ahead -grumble about bank charges. it's part of our culture. But then resolve to do something about it. CIBC encourages cus- tomers to reduce their service charges. In fact, your service charge savings get printed right in your bank book. .Angel Nails & Skin Care Brock North Plaza 2200 Brock Rd., Unit A-10 Pickering,Ontario L 1 X 2R2 (90) 683-9438 rl ( BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Full set acrylic nails: Reg. $35.00...

Car accidents are the leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to 24 in Canada, and many of these involve alcohol. At an age when they are going through two important rites of passage into Adulthood -drink- ing alcohol for the first time and learning to drive -young people are frequently tempted to combine the two. One of the challenges facing adults, no matter if they're par- ents. teachers, police or traffic safety experts, is to make young people aware of the risks of dri- ving, while developing traffic laws that will modify their risky behavior behind the wheel. A re- cent development has given adults reason to be optimistic that they've found a answer. Ontario's graduated licensing system has reduced drinkinr and driving among male high school students, accordini: to a recent study by the Addiction Research Foundation (ARF). Thr system for new drivers was introduced in 1994. in their first two years of having a licence, new drivers cannot have any alcohol in their blood while driving, they must stay off 4(X) -series highways, drive only during the day, and be accom- panied by a fully licensed driver with a minimum of four _year's experience. ARF researchers surveyed Grade 11 and 12 students in seven Ontario high schools be- fore and after the introduction of graduated licensing. Before the system was introduced, 23 per cent of male students reported that they had driven after drink- ing, while after the system was introduced, 18 per cent said they drank and drove. This was a 20 per cent drop in drinking and driving. More research will be conduct- ed during the next few years as the total picture becomes clearer. Just after graduated licensing was introduced, for example, the number of new drivers dropped dramatically, leading researchers to wonder if thele was a "blip" as young people had rushed to get licences before the new sys- tem was in place. Overall, graduated licences do work. in New Zealand, the first country in the world to introduce graduated licences, deaths among 15 to 17 year-old drivers and their passengers dropped about 25 per cent during the first two years of the program. Graduated licensing alone isn't the answer. Many communities have initiated their own anti - drinking and driving programs in the schools. Many of these programs involve young people themselves. who help make their peers aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. The Addiction Research Foun- dation has a variety of informa- tion materials for parents and teachers on alcohol, drugs, and related issues.

Although they've done wondrous things, medical researchers have yet to find the answer to why boys catch more colds than girls under four years of age, but after the age of four girls catch more. Will a cure for this common ailment ever be found`' Because over 200 different cold viruses exist, medical experts have not been able to develop a vaccine. A vaccine will only work against one specific virus -which means that over 200 would need to be found! Researchers, however, do have some answers, including ways that we are likely to catch a cold and the coughs that often accompany them. A guaranteed way to catch a cold is to get a dose of it directly in the upper nose, where the temperature and humidity are ideal for its growth. Three possibilities exist for get- ting cold viruses into your nasal passages: (i) through the air (from the sneezing or coughing of others). (ii) through direct contact (shaking hands with a cold sufferer, then touching your nose or eyes): (iii) via objects, such as a glass. telephone or toy used by a cold sufferer. The three factors that affect the trans- mission of colds are the amount of time spent with a cold sufferer, the volume of that per- son's secretions, and the amount of virus in him/her. Here are some other facts that scientists have been able to identify about the common cold and cough: • Children are more likely than adults to catch colds because their immune systems are not as developed. • Susceptibility to colds and coughs can be minimized by practicing good hygiene. Wash- ing your hands frequently. not touching your eyes and nose: staying fit and well -rested: and eating properly all contribute to one's healthy well-being. • People who work in dry envi- ronments are more susceptible to colds than people who are ex- posed to fresh. moist air. Air conditioning makes the air drier - contributing to the likelihood of catching a cold. • Cigarette smokers tend to have more severe symptoms than non-smokers, and are more likely to suffer more serious complications. including pneu- monia and bronchitis. • Stress has an impact on the chances of catching a cough or cold. Hopefully, these findings will help to reduce your chances of catching what seems like an inevitable part of winter. if you can't cure it, you might as well minimize your suffering by tak- ing some of the above advice.

Unfortunately, none have been successful, and we continue to catch what seems like an in- evitable part of winter. Below are some of the "cures." many of them zany. that have been "discovered" over the ages: -The Draculian theory: Ancient Greek physicians be- lieved that bloodletting -either by cutting the sufferer's flesh or by applying bloodsucking leeches - would eliminate excess fluid (i.e. mucus in the nasal passage) from the body. This method of treatment was practiced in many parts of the world as late as the nineteenth century. • `louse kissing (believe it or not'): In ancient Rome, the scholar Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23- 79) recommended kissing a mouse's nose to cure sneezing and coughs. Pucker up. 'dickey! • Dry cupping: This ancient cure. still popular in parts of South America and Asia. calls for placing jars heated by can- dles on the sufferer's back to draw out the toxins that caused the cold. Ouch! • Praver: The Catholic Church. during the '.diddle Ages. be- lieved that colds were a warn- ing of evil to come or that demons were trying to invade the sufferers body, its recom- mended method of treatment: prayer. Have you ever wondered why people say "God bless you.. when you sneeze'' it's because it was hoped that by saving this it would prevent the demons from invading the spirit. • Hair sandwiches: During the Middle Ages. it was believed that by cutting one's hair. the FAQ's about Cancer sufferer would "draw off' the cold. The hair sandwiches were fed to dogs! • Other 'diddle Age remedies: Wearing garlic necklaces were said to be an effective treatment against demons and vampires. And to keep evil influences from the throat. adorning one's neck - with salted herrinu would relieve coutzh and sore throat symptoms (then vou'd definitely have only mice to kiss'.). • Heated herbs: Heated con- tainers tilled with mint leaves were said to release "healing fumes" when breathed through face masks. • "Cold chasers": in the 1960s. an Inhaler device was believed to cure colds.Until a cure i, found for the common cold ant. the couohs that often ac:compam one. there are bound to be count less more "invention.. What is Cancers Cancer is a _roup of more than 100 different diseases. Cancer ex curs when cells become abnormal and keep dividing and forming more cells without control or order. All organs of the body are made up of cells. Normally. cells divide to produce more cells only when the busy needs them. if cells divide when new ones are not needed. the-, form a mass of excess tis- sue, called a tumor. Tumors can be benien (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). The cells in malignant tumors can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also break away from a malignant tumor and travel through the bloodstream or the N ntphatic ,y steer to form new tumors in other parts of the body. The spread of cancer is called metastasis. The Signs and Symptoms of Cancer Cancer often causes symptoms that you can w atch fur, the word CAPTION can remind you of the most common warning signs of cancer: CAUTION - C - Change in bowel or bladder habits. A - A sore that does not heal. U - Unusual ge. T - Thickening or lump in the breast or any part of the body. I - Indigestion of bleeding or dischar difficulty swallowing, O - Obvious change in a wart or mole, N - Nagging, cough or hoarseness. These symptoms are not always warning signs of cancer. They can also be caused by less serious conditions. It is important to see a doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Only a doctor can mat a diagnosis. DONT WAIT to feel pain: Early cancer usually does not cause pain. 0 j«x Zollirre ELECTROLYSIS CLINI CONFIDENTIAL MEDICAL S REE COSMETIC CONSULTATION ELECTROLYSIS 158 OX101100d rnuf (905) 427-7139 THERAPEUTIC BODY MASSAGE: BODY WAXING FACIALS ELECTROLYSIS A biopsy is the only sure way to know whether a med- ical problem is cancer.

Many cases of cancer can be prevented by not using to: bacco products, avoiding the harmful rays of the sun, and choosing foods with less fat and more fiber. In ado tion, regular checkups and self -exams can reveal canc at an early stage, when treatment is likely to be effec- tive. 8 October 1997 - The Durham Sun Video- Review Featuring Fast Times at Ridgemont High Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Featurinu, Sean Penn (Dead man W'alking) Judge Reinhold (Beverley Hills Cop) Ra} \Valston (\l\ favorite Martian) Forest «'itaker (The Crying Gank) Pamela Springsteen and Brian Backer.

The standards. Ice Hockey Helmets (CAN/CSA-Z262. 1-M90) and Face Protectors and Visors for Ice Hockev Players (CAN/CSA-7.262.2-M90), have been updated over the years to incorporate the latest testing methods to ensure the ef- fectiveness of equipment certified to the standards. Look for the CSA mark on hockey hel- mets, face protectors and visors. These CSA -certified items are cited by the Cana- dian Hockey Association in their mandatory requirements for players in senior, junior, minor and women's leagues. Here are a few pointers to assist the hockey players in your family: • Proper tit is essential with any protec- tive sports equipment. Choose a helmet that fits the head snugly. Make sure the face pro- tector can be securely fastened to the helmet. • Never paint or add decals to a helmet. • Hockey helmets are designed to last about seven years. CSA -certified helmets can sustain more than one impact, but a crack signals serious damage. Discard your helmet if it becomes cracked. • Never cut the wire on a face mask to im- prove the field of vision, as this will weaken the entire structure. • Make sure the wire structure on the face protector is solid and there are no broken wires. • Inspect plastic visors or protectors for r scratches or cracks. Too many scratches _ limit vision, while cracks weaken structural strength- - Wear face protectors at all times while participating in the game. f • Practice wearing a new face protector e with the helmet before using it in a frame. If you play in an "old-timer" league, set a s good example by wearing a CSA -certified helmet and visor to protect the head and d eyes. P - - eight -end games.

A revised cold weather package is available which features windshield wiper de -leers and eliminates the engine block heater. The Outback Limited has a new master interior colour and the Limited can be upgraded into a twin moonroof-equipped vehicle. An upgraded audio sys- tem is also included with eight speakers. The 1998 Legacy Outback has the same modifi- cations to its suspension system as first introduced in 1996. Start- ing from an already excellent ground clearance of 6.1 inches the Legacy Outback has its ground clearance raised an addi- tional 1.2 inches through the use of larger tires. Suspension com- ponents were also modified to accommodate additional lift and a 30mm raising of the overall vehicle. These changes are: - Lengthening strut piston rods by 40 mm in front and 44mm in the rear. The strut's diameter was also increased to help lat- eral stiffness. - Spring rates and suspension travel were reduced to enhance handling characteristics and in- crease stability in a turn. - Crossmember spacers of SO mm thick were reduced to en- hance handling characteristics and increase stability in a turn. - Crossmember spacers of 30 Full of fuel? mm thick were used to help raise the body. - Trailing link bracket was added to mount the link to the raised body. - Spacers and brackets were used for the rear differential mount. A fuel -pipe protector was added. The platform was stiffened in key areas for increased longitudinal and lateral stiffness. Legacy Outback is available in two tone colour scheme with slate colour used on the bottom to help mask accumulated dirt. Available colours are Mica Ruby, Spruce Pearl, Deep Sap- phire Pearl and Glacier White. The Outback Limited is avail- able in Black Granite, Rio Red, Glacier White and new for 1998 Spruce Pearl. The Legacy Outback receives several exterior changes. Fist, a new six spoke alloy wheel replaces the previous six spoke design. Next, new multireflec- tor halogen headlights with separate turn signals are used. To provide better protection from stone chips and spray a Ionizer splashguard is used to protect the body.

If so, fuel must be protected during periods of storage or non-use. Gas, diesel and gas/oil mixtures begin to separate dur- ing this time, causing gums and residue to form in the tank, especially in the fuel lines and fuel pump. This build-up may result in engine operating problems until the stale fuel has been burned or removed. As well, damage and unnecessary re- pairs may result from the formation of rust and corrosion in the fuel system. Vapours also form, and can cause a fire azard when the vehicle is stored with a artially filled tank of fuel. Wynn's Fuel Stabilizer will do the trick.

Finish your vegetables. 2. Eat a piece of fruit instead of a candy bar. 3. There is such a thing as pre- ventive nutrition with antioxi- dants. OK, so maybe mom wouldn't put it that way, but she was on the right track. The antioxidant vitamins - C, E, and beta -carotene - are found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Evidence points to antioxidants being "beneficial in relation to certain diseases, in- cluding coronary heart disease, diabetes, cataracts, and athero- sclerosis," said Congress Chair Tapan Basu, a nutritional bio- chemist at the University of Alberta. "We see from study to study - those with the highest plasma levels or highest intakes of an- tioxidant nutrients seem to have a lower mortality rate," echoed Jeffrey Blumberg, Associate Di- rector of the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, Boston. "We're at the stage where we're really trying to define what we know and determine di- etary requirements," said Blum- berg. Blumberg said that there was nothing especially "unique" about antioxidants except for the fact that they are involved in a whole spectrum of processes associated with age and disease - heart disease, the rheumatic diseases. cancers, diabetes, ath- erosclerosis, and immune dysfunction. "I'd even suggest that the in - I N-1 -, � �, � M� -,� i, 77, /uf crease in morbidity and mortali- ty due to accidents might have some role for antioxidants due to visual impairments, for ex- ample, cataracts and muscle degeneration," he said. That's one reason why the Congress looked hard at the impact of age on nutritional requirements. "When we talk about human beings, we already know that it's the age-related increases in chronic diseases that are the major killers," said Blumberg, who likened human aging to the rusting of a car. In humans, oxy- gen free radicals damage tissues, eventually resulting in lesions associated with a whole host of diseases. The process begins in youth but continues throughout life. Antioxidants are the body's rust prevention system. Several large-scale studies have shown that high antioxidant levels are positively associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease, including the first signs of atherosclerosis, and can even lower the risk of a subsequent heart attack for patients who al- ready have heart disease. Other studies have consistently shown that the trio of antioxidant nutrients enhances immune function in the elderly. Blumberg said that the elderly should probably be advised to take higher doses of these nutri- ents than the general population. But no one is ready to specify the dosage yet - mostly because more work needs to be done to isolate antioxidants' mode of action and determine the inter- active effects of antioxidant vit- amins and other foods. And then there are the skeptics who still want more proof that antioxidants really work. That's foolish, said Blumberg, who thinks that expecting fur- ther studies to provide absolute proof that antioxidants can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer is an "unrealistic hope*. "Frankly those studies will never be done." said Blumber�v. "Mey're too expensive and they will take decades to carry out. He said it would preferable to ask whether the evidence in favour of antioxidant supple- ments is now "sufficiently con- sistent and compelling to take some action today - and I,.% ould su_,L,est that the overall totality of information suggests poten- tial benefit". He noted that dosages of yita- min F. in the 2(XX) Il 'ran2e have peen used in various studies "�k ith no incidence of adverse ettect. whatsoever". "Should we delay interventions which we think are cost-effec- tile and beneficial?** he asked. " t think the data alreadv is suffi- cient to begin to make recom- mendations. I think as a physi- cian you can certainly do a good dietary medical history of your patient and make recommenda- tions, then follow that up by subsequent assessment. If that patient's doing better, I think you've got a good intervention."

Some investors may even have more than one �_�oal in mind. For example, you may wish to save to buy a new home, or would like to invest for your chil- dren's post -secondary ed- ucation, or may be look- ing further ahead towards your retirement. Whatever your goals, it is important that you clearly identify them and set time frames for achieving them. Of course, some goals are more straightforward than others, but in the end they must all be realistic. Remember. lone term goals can be Irak up Ot' a series of short term goals. You should remain fo- cused on your goals and not be swayed by tempo- rary market conditions. It's the proven way to become a successful investor. Generally, the more time you have to achieve your goals, the more growth as- sets like equity mutual funds should be included in your portfolio. Al- though the value of equity funds tend to fluctuate more, historical experi- ence shows that over time they generate considerably higher returns than invest- ments like' GICs and money market funds. The best way to maximize the growth of your invest- ments is to maintain a portfolio consisting of a balance between equLty and fixed income instru- ments. Here are some easy -to -follow tips which will ensure that you succeed in achieving vour ,.zoals. Pay yourself first - in- vest regularly Before you pay your bills and household expenses, you should pay yourself 'first. Set aside a small per- centage of your take home pay to save for you and your family's future. You will be surprised how easy it is to save by paying yourself first. For exam- ple, it is easy to save with an automatic investment plan. Deduct a set amount (from as little as $50 per month) from your bank account and invest it in the mutual fund of your choice. Over time, your in- vestment will grow and you will hardly miss the money coming ou y bank account each month. Start saving now, it's never too late" Most of us wait too long before we start to invest and fall short of the funds needed to achieve our goals. The earlier you start to invest, the better it is for you. And remember it is never too late to start saving to achieve your goals. Through the advan- tage of compounding. even small amounts saved regularly can help you to- wards reaching your financial goals. ,Stav invested Historically, stocks. bonds and even money markets can be volatile as the economy goes through different phases of the economic cycle. During periods of volatility. some investors cash in their in- vestments, only to find that they would have been better off if they had stayed invested. It is evi- dent that while financial markets fluctuate in the short term, they have al- ways trended higher over the long term. That's why we recommend that you take a disciplined ap- proach to investing. Choose the right asset mix and hold your investments for the long term. This is the only way that you can get the maximum returns from your investments.
