A-vording to the report, entitled "Adjusting to Change: An Overview of labour Market Issues", more employers in the province are turning to technology in order to compete in a global economy. The report says that as a result of this, a greater emphasis should be put on training to make sure the province has a workforce with skills and adaptability to meet the new job requirements. Mr. Curling said. "The basic skills are still the keystone to changes. Reading, writing, math and interpersonal rela- tionships are fundamental to more workers being able to cope with the new technologies in an increasingly complex workplace. All workers, including managers, professional staff, technicians and stilled workers will require training on an on-going basis.,, Present and future labour market shortages are among the issues dealt with in the report, which was prepared under the direction of Dr. Frank Whittingham, senior manager of the Ministry's Labour Market Research Group. The report says there has been a tightening of labour markets across the province and even though improved economic conditions have attracted a record number of people from other provinces, employers are still facing dif- \ Fastest growing FAX machines in Canada TOSHIBA SAVE $200 y NTC Ask about our rebate offer. .0 National Telephone Corporation 4500 Sheppard Avenue East, Unit 21, Scarborough 754-4500 �- ..... � .� ... ., ..t- :�:.�..�- ... _. �, gra , -•4 -, art' :iir-::n,a:t• :.i r1a a Such gLXA Swlnln:ing radii:it's on mind Abou t' compentuxi in the recreation complex.

Aug. 24, 1988 Opinion a page for expression for you and us No Bias We Hope by Bob Watson The case of the shooting of Lester Donaldson, who hap- pened to be black, by a Metro policeman is now entering a rather unusual stage. Metro police commissioner Roy Williams, who also hap- pens to be president of the Jamaican Canadian Association, has called the shooting "unnecessary" and further, he told the Black Action Defence Committee that he will use his in- fluence to make stare the matter is thoroughly investigated. We hope that this unusual effort by Mr. Williams on behalf of a black man will also see him as keen when a white mast is shot by a Metro policeman. After all the colour of a man's skin should not make a difference to decisions by a police commissioner, we don't believe. There have been white men shot by Metro police officers in the past and we don't believe that there was a big uproar by a "White Action Defence Committee". Let's keep racial prejudice out of these affairs - after all bias can come from any direction and the impression in this particular case is that there is extra pressure for investiga- tion mainly because Mr. Donaldson was black. Downtown Again! by Bob Watson Well, downtown Toronto is going to get another big pro- ject - the ballet opera house at Bay and Wellesley. Doesn't it seem peculiar that all buildings must be built in the city of Toronto's downtown instead of on Eglinton Avenue or Yonge Street in North York or Borough Dr. in Scarborough, The 3.8 acres of land for the opera bane will see 15oo housing tants built as wen with 35 percent Stated for assisted housing. The Ontario government's $65 million contribution will come from the sale of government lands for the housing winch at least is an unusual move by a government. However. with everything "downtown" in Toronto, we are continuing the Toronto City philosophy that anythintg outside of the city borders is the dormitory suburbs where nothing should go except city workers to sleep! Surely some common sense at some stage should be telling these wheeler dealers that when traffic can no longer move in "downtown Toronto" that the advantage to the city of Toronto will be gone. In our opinion, the opera base should have gouge to North York's downtown and the CBC new headquarters should be in Scarborough's downtown. Of course, we still firmly believe that the done stadium should have gone to Downsview and with the Spann way completed. access to the dome would have been excellent. Somoeume in the near future suburban politicians better start complaining about this pdeu p of everything in "downtown Toronto" or the value of a great metropolitan urban area will have been killed.

Customers Like Board Customers of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) like the recent improvements in service and are generally positive about the board according to an Angus Reid survey. "The Reid survey described half our customers as en- thusiasts," Board Chairman Jack Ackroyd explains. "As the survey implies, these people are enthusiastic about changes to improved LCBO service such as extended hours and our upcoming full service store." Summer MIS Market Healthy The number of MIS residential sales increased slightly in July reflecting a stable summer market. "There were 3,518 resale transactions last month, tap almost one percent from June. When compared to the 2,783 sales in July last year, the 26 percent year -over -year increase indicates this is shaping up to be a healthy summer," said Edward Hou, Toronto Real Estate Board president. HOUSING GROUP St. Margaret's Homes of Scarborough has been awarded a $1,000 development grant from the Province of Ontario. Scarbonougta-Ellesmere MPP Frank Faubert said the grant will be used to help offset the casts of incorporating a non-profit housing organization and preparing an initial submission to the government under a federal -provincial non-profit housing program. More Out Of Hydro Stations Ontario Hydro is expanding its program to rehabilitate and upgrade its hydro -electric generating stations which will add almost 500.000 kilowatts of generating capacity to the province's power system by 2000. Thanks to the upgrading work done since 1974, another 270,000 kilowatts of water -powered generation is in place. March Energy Demand Total Ontario demand for electricity in March was 12.2 billion kilowatt-hours, almost 10 percent more than March Lag year. Peak demand for the month ( the point of time when the most power is being consumged I occurred on March 1 at 6:30 p.m. and was 20.3 million kilowatts, tap 4.5 percent from last year.

Rent Price Controls 7be Wniistry of Housing bas announced that the rent review guideline for the year 19ti9 will be 4.6 percent, the se- cond year in a row that the guideline. has decrebed. This means that about 75 percent of Ontario tenants will have a single rent increase mid year at or below 4.6 percent. Heart Care Program The Ontario Ministry of Health will launch a stepped up, $18 mullion effort aimed at preventing and treating heart and circulatory diseases across the province, Health Minister Elinor Caplan has announced. New and expanded initiatives include a new $1 million health promotion program aimed at reducing death and disability due to heart and vascular disease; a central registry for patients requiring heart surgery, initially in the Metro Toronto area; the appointment of a cardiovascular co-ordinator within the ministry to oversee all aspects of bean and vascular care including health promotion; and a major expansion of facilities for bean surgery. Heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death and disability among Ontarians; 40 percent of all deaths in the province in 1996 were due to heart and vascular disease.

Scarborough Centre, said in the House of Common recently. Browes read a letter sent to her by Douglas Blair, President of Canadian Thermos Products, which outlines the company's ex - plans under free trade. "Although Thermos is committed to moving pro- ductions to Canada, Free Trade is neverless impor- tant to our company," Browes read from the let- ter, "The duty on our pro- ducts entering the United States is 9%, equal to or higher than that on com- peting products from Europe, Brazil and the Far East. The elimination of this duty under the Free Trade Agreement would lead to a larger market share for our Canadian - made products in the U.S. and consequently increas- ed employment."

Canada Uel, North York: Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd, Scarborough: and Kanmet Casting Centre, Cam- bridge. They join nine other Ontario companies selected for the program in 1967. Energy Monitoring systems use computer soft- ware to measure and con- trol an operation's energy use from an array of meters, targeting energy inefficiencies. The payback period is about one year.

It will help them save many thousands of dollars and it Monitoring Will help them to remain am the leading edge in an in- creasingly competitive world," said Ontario Energy Minister Robert Wong. Ontario Hydro and the Ministry of Energy began the program in 1986 to en- courage representative companies from all in- dustrial sectors to iastall Energy Monitoring systems '•Our goal when we started the program was to have a demonstra- tion Energy Monitoring system installed in every main industrial sector.

Once a company has tried the "Rent -A -Village" Program. they often rebook for subsequent years. Nikon did the fust 3 -tiered incentive program with Club Med; and, the Sony Corporation, Sweet life Foods and Discovery Toys have chosen the club for two years. Other companies par- ticipating in the "Rent -A - Village" program include Polaris Vac -Sweep ( three years); American Ex- press; The Trane Com- pany; and Princess House (a division of Colgate- Palmolive). In September 1984, Club Med, Inc. signed an agree- ment with the Seibu Saison Group, a leading Japanese retail and real estate com- pany, to develop resorts in Japan. The first village, Club Med-Sahoro on the Wand of Hokkaido, opened in December 1987 with 200 beds ( the former Karikachi Continental Hotel). It is a mountain resort in summer and a ski village in the winter. Future plans call ' for an additional 20o beds to be added.

Coincidental- ly, Winston's is also celebrating a 50th anniver- sary- As expected, the cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were pleasurable (Winston's pates is still the standard against which all profes- sional paths should be measured) and the special guests were indeed special. Karen Kain was there - she is donating autograph- ed ballet slippers for the Gala - as were Glen Loates who is donating a wildlife print and the quietly elegant Harry Rosen who is the honourary chairman for the event. Now, about the gala: it will take place at the Metro Convention Centre on Sept. 15th. It'll be strictly black be and will feature a cham- pagne receptim formal dining with music by Cla= entertainment by Don Ferguson of CBC's Royal Canadian Air Farce, a Vegas casino and dancing to the tunes of the fifties as played by Robbie Lane and the Disciples.

PARTY TIME Il: Professional sport with the exception of American football and basketball has long recognized what has come to be called the farm system; that is to say the ;development of talent for the big team. The Canadian Opera Company has also recognized the principle. So it was that we found ourself recently at the Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre for a lun- cheon to announce the :198B,89 COC Ensemble, Composers -in -Residence, Texaco Opera Theatre Season. It was in 1980 that Lotfi Mansouri founded the COC Ensemble through a conti- trrung grant from Imperial Oil Limited. (A long way removed from Hockey Night in Canada.) The establishment of the Ensemble was Mr. M's first step toward the development of a care com- pany that will one day reside in the new ballliettapeta house. The ensemble program is comprised of resident ar- tists. apprentice singers. open coaches and direc- tors in addition to composers -in -residence. Another component of the program is the income managers program that develops arts ad- ministrators in the areas of fundraising and marketing. What's in store for n 1W.

Around and About s Your Dining &Entertainment Guide and when they are schedul- ed. We can tell you, though, that the two principal works to be performed are Tales of Hoffmann and D Ritorono d'Ulisse. The former is the Edwin Drolod of opera in as much as it was not completed at the time of the composer's death. Many endings have been used but the one used by the COC is far and away the best. Il Ritorno was written by Monteverdi in 1641 and was his second last opera. It is not too often performed because. as we understand it, the work is a difficult one: not apparently too dif- ficult for the COC. We should mention that wherever possible the works will be performed with English suurtitles, the greatest innovation for opera in the last century. Watch for further details of Canadian Opera Com- pany week in Scarborough and Etobieoke. Much ex- citement. The ensemble will be holding auditions for singers, coaches and stage directors on Oct. 18th, 19th and 20th. Application deadline is Sept. 15th and all apps should be seat to National Auditions Co - Ordinator. Canadian Opera Company Ensemble, 227 Front St. East. Toronto, M5A 1E8. PARTY TIME III: Global Television presented its new season schedule at Stop 33 in the Sutton Place Hotel. Guest of honour was Van- na White. Through no fault of her own Miss White was late arriving and it seemed to us that the guests were even more convivial than usual. Fine wine and superb sirloin tip - one of the :many selectins from the lavish buffet - can do that to one. Miss White is a delightful lady and we consented to have our picture taken with her. After that excitement we forgot to pick up our .w ., � J V • ` . pY� rr • - +stir+ "One of Scarborough's best kept secrets is out."

EN CASSETTE: Prior to World War 11, most British hotels of stature had a Palm Court where one could take after- noon tea to the sounds of music, usually performed by a clamber trio of piano, violin and cello. Though those peaceful days of the emupim's golden afternoon are now gone, the music that one enjoyed so much while partaking of life's finest food and the elixir called tea is enjoying a renaissance. It has now become known as Palm Court music. Well, what is it? Like M. ch music it has no man- datory parametres. We think it safe to declare, however, that Palm Court music is that which is strongly rooted in the classics - or the disciplines of the classics - but which is recognizable by the em- phasis on melody. One can enjoy it without feeling Wty. ith that as preamble allow us to dimupon the bandwagon for Palm Court Pleasures -Trio Vivant ( Fanfare) . Trio Vivant is made up of Catherine Wilson (piano), Marie Berard ( violin) and Dorothy Lawson ( cello) . The latter two ladies are unknown to us but Miss Wilson's work we hugely admired on Rags to Riches on which she plays classical ragtime with John Arps Palm Court Pleasure begins with Handel's Ar- rival of the Queen of Sheba from "Solomon" and ends with Noel Coward's I'll See You Again from "Bit- tersweet". In between there are such other pleasures as Joplin's ..Bethena'. concert waltz and his Elite Syncopation, a selection from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers", the Tango of Roses and others including even some Ger- shwin and, of course, Miss Wilson's own composition, Sackville St. Ballad. All are well played; that goes almost without men- tion. The chief delight in this cassette, however, is the robust manner of play- ing. To be honest, palm court music can sometimes be pallid. Trio Vivant however plays it with great attack and gusto. After listening one feels like rising from the tea and cakes and entering the grill room for steak. How plea- sant it wound be to have Trio Vivant join one at table. After listening to them play it should come as no surprise when we report that each one is beautiful. Beautiful ladies and beautiful music. Life is in- deed beautiful. TRAVEL TALK: This is not Watt's Worlds for nothing.

TOBACCO RESTRAINT ACT - UP IN SMOKE The Canadian Medical As - sociation has long argued that the Tobacco Restraint Act, which is meant to prevent the sale of tobacco products to minors, has proven to be hopelessly ineffective. Tobacco pro- ducts continue to be readily acces- sible to minors, especially through the use of vending machines The Association, representing 45 000 physicians across the coun- try, have set their sights on the next major objective in the medical pro- fession and health community War Against Smoking. What is needed, argues the CMA, is a law effective- ly prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to mirrors. In an address on Monday in Ottawa by Dr. Lloyd Bartlett, chair- man of the CMA's tobacco legisla- tion committee, the Association released findings from a recent sur- vey to illustrate the inadequacy of the Act. A spokesman for the CMA stated that the results of this signifi- cant survey were not only "surpris- ingly bad" but "disappointing" as well. Four youths, aged 11 to 13, were sent to area shops, department stores, restaurants, and hotels to see whether they could buy cigarettes. The results were startling. Out of the forty establishments visited, only six refused to sell the minors cigarettes. It should be noted that fifteen of the purchases were made from vending machines. Yet on one occasion a staff member actually offered to assist the youth when the machine was found not to be wor- king. To enforce the Tobacco Re- straint Act, the CMA is calling for a law which will effectively prohibit the sale of tobacco to anyone who 34 packagas Johanna In^as - _ J j, - -a ., Ash (12) does not have an age of majority sponsoring of any sports or cultural card.

Community Sports Notes Scarborough United Advance To Finals by Ken Lehan-fort Scarborough United Women's Soccer Club plac- ed three teams in the Ontario soccer et,ssoC1anon cup competition after semi- final play last weekend. The finals will be played at Oshawa Civic Stadium on Sun. Sept. 11th. At the under 14 level the club was assured of a representative in the divi- sion final as two United teams opposed each other in one of the semi-finals. The 14 year olds Stingers held the upper hand dun the first half of play against the 13 year olds Scorpions' however, the hal?Me= with the score sheet blank. The strong defensive play of the Scorpions Nathalie Thompson and Debbie Robinson continued as the second half resumed, but the Stingers broke the deadlock in the tenth minute when Michelle St. Aubin followed up her own rebound to put her side ahead 1-0. Five minutes later St. Aubin added a second with a close range shot. Scor - pori goalkeeper Melanie Moulton made several saves, but was powerless as a 25 yard shot from Jen- nifer Burry made the score 3-0, which held to the final whistle, at Esther Shiner Stadium, North York. The under 16 Buccaneers encountered very little op position in their semi final at Birchmount Stadium. Four goals in each half saw the team cruise to a com- fortable 8-0 win on a pair of ggoals each from Mary Pipilas and Nancy Luciano ,and single markers by Melissa Munro Tara Bagnall, Pam Fisher and were the- victims of`" the Buccaneers onslaught. The senior Today's Business Dynamos conced- ed only one ggoal in their semi final, arso against a team from Niagara, as they rolled to a 9:1 win at Esther Shiner Stadium. In Hamilton, United's under 18 Chargers were defeated on penalty kicks in their Ontario Cup final game. The under 18 divi- sion was held as part of the Ontario Summer Games.

Fulton M.P.PEScarborough East Labour Minister Unveils Information on Hazardous Materials in Workplace A training package, developed to educate workers about hazardous materials in the workplace, has been unveiled by Ontario Labour Minister Greg Sorbara. The package was prepared as a result of amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act and is designed to assist employers in meeting the requirements of legislation which comes into effect on Oct. 31, 1968. Under the legislation, Ontario becomes a partner in the new national Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). The WHMIS requires the uniform labell- ing of all hazardous workplace materials and the creation of material safety data sheets. Amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act require all employers to provide training for employees working with, or in proximity to, hazardous materials so that they know the danger and are able to deal with emergencies. "The package will serve as a basic educational tool for employers and employees, and contains training modules dealing with the WHIVLIS regulations, information delivery, basic occupational health control, and emergency," Mr. Sorbara said. Coordinated by the Ministry of Labour and the Occupa- tional Health and Safety Education Authority of the Workers' Compensation Board, the training package has been developed as a joint effort by employer safety associa- tions and the Workers Health and Safety Centre. The development of the training materials and the train- ing of WHMLS instructors who will deliver programs across the province have both been funded by the Ministry of Labour. ..Labour, management and the government want to en- sure that Ontario workers and employers have access to a compr+ehensive training program that can be adapted to any workplace," Mr. Sorbara added. "Where a workplace lacks facilities for formal training, employers and employees will be able to take advantage of courses offered at the community level...

O %P NORTH YORK SCHOOLS r, Board last week announced that the 42 acre site is worth $16.15 million because its previous owners, Torvalley Development LAcL, would most likely have obtained planning approvals to develop the property. Tor - valley wanted to build 756 luxury residential writs on the site. The $150 million project was derailed by the Metro Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority which expropriated the land. At an expropriation hear- ing last year, MTRCA argued that the site was in the Don River Valley. was prone to flooding and should therefore be under public ownership. Because the two parties could not Hach a price for the expropriated land, the OMB had to decide its worth. MTRCA's lawyer, Rod MacDougall, says the authority may appeal the decision to divisional court. Torvalley's lawyer. Stephen Waque. says if the au thority does, his client will cross appeal and ask for more money. Meanwhile, some Metro policitians say Metro can't afford the property and perhaps should consider either backing out of ex- propriating the land or, if that's not possible, selling it back to Torvalley. Several Metro coun- cillors interviewed said that if they had been warn- ed it would cost so much they would never have ap- proved the expropriation. "We just can't afford it," said Scarborough Con- troller Joyce Trimmer. Senior Care Needs Volunteers Senior Care, an agency that provides care for the elderly has volunteer posi- tions available immediate- ly. Clerical help is needed in the office and this would in- clude some typing. Also needed is a volunteer with leadership skills who would help organize a Meals on Wheels program. For more details call the North York Volunteer Cen- tre at 481-6194. The training package can be ordered by contacting the Occupational Health and Safety Education Authority at (416) 927-4175, any safety association or the Workers' Oc- cupational Health and Safety Centre at the Ontario Federa- tion of Labour in Toronto. Industrial Training Receives Boost Fifty four of Ontario's Community Industrial Training Committees have been awarded almost $2 million for operating costs, Skills Development Minister Alvin Curling has announced. A further $400,000 has been given to twenty nine commit- tees to conduct labour market surveys which will help determine local training needs. As autonomous organizations funded by provincial and federal governments and made up of volunteers from business, industry, labour, government and education, the Community Industrial Training Committees identify and respond to local training needs. "The industrial training committees are valuable resources in identifying local training issues and needs. The contribution of committee members is an important factor in establishing training priorities across the province," Mr. Curling said. Conducting local surveys on training needs, recommen- ding training course content, and acting as resource cen- tres for skilled workers seeking upgrading are some of the activities of these committees. "The main goal of the Skills Development Ministry is to foster a first-rate training system that is second to none and compares favourably with those of our international com- petitors. This can only be accomplished through successful partnerships with all parties such as Community Industrial Training Committees." Mr. Curling added.

Aug. 24, 19% Heating That New Room If you plan to add a room to your home this year, one of your biggest problems will be heating it. It doesn't matter whether that extra space is in your basement, attic or solarium, The simplest and most cost effective solution is electric heating, says Ted Ford, a spokesman for the Electric and Electronic Manufacturers Associa- tion. With a forced air system, he adds, it's practically impossible to heat that room in the basement or attic to an acceptable comfort level without over -heating the main floor. The reason — that's where the thermostat for the forced air system is usually located. So if you want your basement at 20 degrees, your livingroom thermostat may have to be set at 25 degrees and it still may not be enough to raise the tempera- ture to a comfortable in your base- ment. "The beauty of electric heating, particularly zonal control or baseboard heating systems, is that with a thermostat in every room, you control the heat of that room, not the entire house." Electric, gas or oil, a solarium is going to require a great deal of heat. Glass, says Ford, has tremen- dous heat loss — so if you want all glass, be prepared to spend more on heating. "As long as the sun is shining, a glass -enclosed solarium will produce a bright, radiant heat.

"If you have your heart set on a solarium, the ideal would be to in- stal double glass two inches apart. But what you'll wind up with is thermopane with a small air space between. "Glass is cold. Put your hand against a window pane in winter and you'll see immediately where the drafts come from. With a baseboard heater with an electronic thermostat under a window, you can keep a curtain of warm air across the glass and you won't feel the draft the ray you will with a forced air furnace."

In comparison, a baseboard with a "normal" thermostat switches on and off four or five times an hour. *Electronic thermostats are a bit more expensive but they are also mocc economic on the other end. They can be set to come on or turn off at certain times of the day. You can, for example. set the thermostat to come on in your bedroom a couple of hours before you get up. "You get the best of both worlds," says Ford. "You are able to vvC b- tumins• dawn thr hint -it night and yet get up to a warm bedroom or kitchen." Adding new space has intro- duced a number of homeowners to electric heat and has led many to change their heating systems en- drely. The cost of changing your attire home to zonal control or baseboard heating can run anywhere between $2,000 and 53,000, depending on the size of the home. But It's a one-time charge ... safe, odour -free and perhaps the most comfortable system you'll ervrr hater " ONTARIO HYDRO ENERMARK DEALERS i I f SALE 1W "iViCel L Heat,na and Air CondJ on ng WE ARE LOCATED AT KENNEDY & STEELES • HEAT PUMPS WE GUARANTEE THE BEST PRICES IN TOWN • AIR CONDITIONING l �14 FORAWORK.

You're in control with electric heat There are three popular myths about electric heating, The first is that you need special insulation. "You don't. Your home should be properly insulated but no more than it should be for oil and gas heating," says Ted Ford, a spokes- man for the Electric and Electronic Manufacturers' Association. The second is that electric heat is dry. "Forced air heating systems produce dry heat but the exact op- posite is true in the case of electric heat. Electric heat actually puts moisture in the house." With an oil or gas heating sys- tem, you need outside air to support the combustion of the furnace. Usually that outside air is dry during the winter months. With an electric heating sy =rr., you don't need outside air, says Ford. What you're doing is recir- culating the air in your home. In fact, he adds, if you have a tight house, it's entirely possible that you could have excess moisture and it may be necessary to turn the bathroom fan on from time to time b take that moist air out of the That moisture comes from Caking showers, cooking, c1c., so that if you have a dry house with electric heating, your house probably allows dry outside air to enter. The third misconception is that electric heat is expensive. "If you have an electrical heat- ing system with zonal control — a baseboard and a thermostat in every morn — your heating bill won't likely be much different from it would be with gas heating ... and, in fact, could be lower. The reason," says Ford. "is that with a forced air locating system, you have to heat the entire house. If you want your family room at 20 degrees, then the rest of your home is going to be 20 degrees as well. It's like having to put on every light in the house just to light your bedroom. With zonal control heat- ing, you can keep your home at 15 degrees and only heat the room or rooms you're using — much the same way you only light the rooms you're in. "It means changing your life- style a little to accommodate this change — keeping doors of rooms you're not using closed, for ex- ample." Another reason is that baseboard or zonal control heating is simply more effective. There's no waste. "When the baseboard comes on, the room starts to get warm im- mediately. When the furnace comes on, the heat's on but the fan isn't going. What you're going is heating up the beat exchanger — and that heat is going up the chisn- ney. "An electric heating system," Ford notes, "is 100 per cent effec- tive. It provides immediate heat — with none of the heat going up the chimney." Zonal control heating, unlike forced heating systems, is also maintenance -free. There arc no moving parts, fans, no smell and no dust. An oil or gas furnace, however, should be chocked over at least every year, usually at an extra charge. "And if something goes wrong. your entire beating system is down. If something goes wrong with an electric heating system —and that doesn't happen very often -- you only lose the use of one room. The rest of the heating system is still operational." says Ford COLLEGE PATIO DESIGN ,t DRIVEWAYS, PATIOS, SIDEWALKS INTERLOCKING STONE REPAIRS ,tr LANDSCAPING �;�1 I % 4 �� Cid 1� IgI��I: FREE ESTI MATE CALL - PETER ERTEL GUARANTEED QUALITY INTERLOCK PAVING with COLLEGE PATIO DESIGN Call Pieter Ertel 281-2108 Dear John: Answers For Your Lawn a Garden Woes Dear.lohn: As an active mem- ber of the local theatre guild, I'm Les Miserables about my lawn's brown grass tips. If 1 Were A Rich Man, 1'd tear up the lawn and start over. Any other ideas? Dear Music Man: A lawn with brown grass tips can resemble The Hunchback of Notre Dame, with uneven grass blades leaning to one side. A dull mower blade can also tear grass tips causing the turf to develop a lean or grain. Your lawn will be One Sin- gular Sensation if you keep the mower blade sharp. Review an operator's manual for specif c% on how to sharpen a mower blade, but in general, sharpen the blade after each 25 hours of use. Use a file or grinding wheel, and sharpen at the same angle the blade was originally filed. Make sure to leave at least 1/64 -inch/ close to 1/2 mm of metal on the blade edge for strength. Next. check the blade for balance by centering it on the edge of a ruler. Another smart way to get the job done is to take the blade to a dealer for sharpening. Keep your mower blade sharp and lite will be a Cabaret, of chum! Dear John: I can't stand to throw amthing av,ay. I have •eg- etaW %reds left over from last year, and even more this year.

If more than half of them germinate, the seeds are worth planting. Sow more seeds from leftover packets than usual, though, in case the germination rate has decreased. You can keep this year's stock- pile of seeds safe until next year if you store them properly. It's best to keep them in their origi- nal packaging. Place them in tightly sealed jars or tin cans and store the containers in a cool place. To reduce humidity in a container pour a little powdered milk on a tissue, staple it shut, and put it in the jar with the seeds.

Dear Slumbering Sam: In this case, the early bird will get the worm and a well -watered lawn. It's best to water in the morning— say about 9 am. —so grass blades will dry by evening. A wet, soggy lawn is an open invitation for pests and disease. Also, evaporation is at its peak during sunny afternoon hours, and water won't reach grass roots if the sun has a chance to swal- low it up. Finally, neighbourhood water consumption is usually.highest in the afternoon, which can reduce water pressure and increase the amount of time needed to sup- ply your lawn with the recom- mended water of one inch/25 mm a week.

Is it true that hats catch bugs in mid-air with a Qap of skin? J.P. A. Yes. While it is flying, a bat locates its prey with sound vibrations and echoes. The bet then positions itself for the capture with a number of acrobatic moves, which explains why a bat's flight is so wild and reckless at times. As the bat closes in, it creates a pouch with its tail membrane by throwing its legs forward. The insect is caught in the pouch and then eaten. The bat's wingtips can grasp the bug or help sweep it into the pouch. A bat also catches bugs in its open mouth. Diet varies from one bat species to another. The fish - eaters, most common in Latin and South America, fly low over lakes and rivers and pluck fish from the water as they swim to the surface. Some species are vegetarians, feeding on leaves, fruit, and nectar. They live primarily in the tropics and do not have the tail membrane characteristic of the insectivores. The most infamous bats are the vampires which live entirely on blood. They usually piney on large animals, such as cattle, pigs, and horses, and can consume their weight in blood in a twenty-four hour period. The most common vampire bat weighs less than two ounces and is the sine of a sparrow. Vampire bats live only in the tropics of Central and South America. Q. Where did the name "sandwich" come from? C.E. A. The 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, is credited with the invention of the mrdwidt. The Earl lived during the eighteenth century and, in addition to his governmental duties, was an avid game player. During one game, he ask- ed that his meat be served on his bread to save time. The Earl soon discovered another advantage of this combina- tion: the bread prevented his fingers from becoming sticky while he was playing cards. The navel idea quickly caught on. ...... ...... .............................. ................ Ken Dietz at 683-7492.

Ath to Wee those few extra HYPERTENSION AND YOUR OUAUTY OF UFE One out of every five Canadian adults suffers from high blood pressure (or hypertension). And yet, nearly one-quarter of the population are unaware of their condition. Although there is no cure for high blood pressure, it can be control- led through lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication. In the past, hypertensive medica- tions had been known to cause a variety of side effects that may have overshadowed the drug's benefit Patients taking hyper- tension medication often reported such conditions as dry mouth, drowsiness, fatigue, sexual impo- tence and depression. Ironically, while these drugs were effective in reducing high blood pressure, they tended to make the patient feel worse. Faced with life- long treatment to control their blood pressure, patients often stopped taking their medication because of the uncomfortable side effects. While controlling their high blood pressure was important, their overall quality of life and sense of well-being was suffering. Recent advances in medical re- search have resulted in new medi- cations that control the condition effectively without causing as many serious side effects. These medications allow the patient to lead a fulfilling life without sacrifi- cing their overall well-being. If you think your high blood Pressure medication may be cau- sing any of these side effects, talk to your doctor.
