July 1:, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Garbage Disposal by Bob Watson Have you ever noticed the kinds of garbage which piles up in the big bins behind industrial plazas? It is about 75% cardboard and wood left from packaging received by the tenants. Currently the cardboard and wall skids are piled into trucks and taken to the dumps where space in the ground is wasted with both of these recyclable products. We believe it is time for local government to legislate the recycling of at least these two items. If such a bylaw were passed, private entrepreneurs would show up with trucks and remove these products from the industrial sites and sell them to plants where cardboard can be remade into card- board and the wood taken apart for reuse in industry. In our mind this is one of the priorities of recycling because it is the easiest to do and will save millions in waste dumps. Waste Millions Dear Sir: Do your readers know that Prime Minister Mulroney's government is squandering millions upon millions of our tax dollars every. year? For instance, the federal government doled out $619.000 for a banana newsletter in the French Riviera! The federal government also spent $13,540 to study the "social value of lawn ornaments" and $24.540 to study the "fool as a transi- tional figure in Western Civilization". Other government grants go to political pressure groups who should be funding themselves through voluntary con- tributions. The Mulroney government, for instance, funds anti -defence groups. big unions and radical feminist organizations. Business - big and not so big - also gets government hand outs. Most of these hand-outs are unnecessary and represent an outrageous waste of our tax dollars at a tin* when deficit reduction has become a top priority. Canadian taxpayers shouldn't be forced into funding banana newsletters. studies on lawn ornaments or political pi ssure groom U the government cut these grants it could save millions of dollars. reduce the pressure for bigger government and help lessen the deficit. Yours truly, David Somerville President The National Citizens Coalition $280,889 For Child Care The Hon. Peron Beatty, Minister of National Health and Welfare has announced that two projects in the province of Ontario have been awarded a total of $280,889 under the Child Care Initiatives Fuad. Canadian Mothercraft will receive $159.435 to design, develop and test resource materials for training home day care givers. The materials developed will be evaluated in a pilot train- ing cause with a group of private home daycare agencies in the Toronto area and various approaches will be ex- plored for delivering the training in workshops, extension courses and correspndence courses. The Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts will receive $121,454 to carry out a study to identify professional competencies required by child care givers and to establish a new cur- riculum base to ensure graduates will meet these re- quirements. "Assisting in the professional development of those in- volved in the child care sector is an important goal for the Child Care Initiatives Fund," said Mr. Beatty. "I am pleas- ed that excellent proposals such as these from Ontario pro- vide an opportunity for our involvement." $100,000 For Child Care Elinor Caplan. MPP Oriole, has announced $100,000 in capital funding for the Don Valley Bible Chapel to establish the Don Valley Christian Child Care Centre in Willowdale. Mrs. Caplan said the ministry resources represent 80 per- cent funding and will be used for renovations, toys and equipment. The remaining funds will be provided by the Don Valley Bible Chapel. The program will provide care for six infants, 15 toddlers and 24 pre-schoolers. It is scheduled to open in September.

Just 50 Years Ago by Bob Watson h is difficult to believe but the visit of the Queen Mother to Queen's Park this past week took my nund back 50 years to the first time Her Majesty came to Canada to open the brand new Quest Elizabeth Way - our first super highway! Yes. I remember the occasion very well because as a member of the reserve army's Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, I was part of the military lining University Ave. and watching the royal couple from behind my rifle, which was in the "present arms" position! And I remember that immediately the royal couple pass- ed our position we Were trucked down to the Lakeshore to take up a new position as the Royal Couple went by again. I was almost 18 years old and world war was hanging out there ready to go. My parents didn't mind me being trained in the military but they were aghast at the idea that I might head off to a war in Europe, which my father had done in World War 1. But when World War II was declared in September 19391 was too young i you had to be 19) to go overseas with my unit, so I went back to East York Collegiate to take grade 13. It was the right decision and besides the following year I joined the RCAF and went overseas at 19! The Queen Mother brought back these memories - and isn't she a wonderful person'. Nearly 89 years of age she walks very- well, speaks very well and communicates to people in an excellent way. We all wish her good health for man• more vears!

Here and There Study On Pears & Plums Bosc pears and plums for the fresh market may be alter- native crops for Ontario land being converted from grapes, according to a consultant's report produced for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Faced with grape acreage reductions, the ministry's Transition Crop Team initiated this Woods Gordon "win- dow of market opportunity" study, which shows pear acreage could be increased in Ontario by tip to 1,000 acres. However, a major increase in plums for the fresh market would depend on development of new, larger -fruited varieties to compete with Californian imports. Two new sources for electricity Two new generators, both in the Sudbury area, began supplying electricity to Ontaro Hydro's electrical system last month. On the Serpent River near Blind River, Serpent River Power Company's two hydro -electric generators can pro- duce 6,000 kilowatts of electricity. And on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, Kagawong hydroelectric station is able to generate 700 kilowatts. These two stations add to the growing number of non- utility electricity generators now complementing Ontario Hydro's electricity supply.

C. by Gay Abbate The TTC wants you and it is going out to make sure they get you. The TTC has decided to spend the next decade focusing on trying to in- crease ridership by im- proving service, safety and courtesy. This new thrust is part of its new strategy for the 1990's called `Back to Basics". It hopes to recap- ture the confidence and hence the ridership the TTC enjoyed years ago. Even before it completes its strategy, the TTC has begun trying to improve service by putting in a reserve subway train at the Yonge subway station whenever there is a delay. This means commuters will not have lengthy delays waiting for a free train. The TTC is also pitting special buses on routes to pick up students at certain schools so they do not con- gest regular buses. The TTC wants to in- crease ridership because it is not getting more sub- sidies tubsidies from the province Dor can it raise fares too high. Therefore it is left with increasing ridership to help pay the bills and in- creasing productivity with existing resources. Dr. Juri Pill, the TTC's director of planning, told a 25th. Anniversary For Sir Wilfrid Laurier Scarborough's Sir Wilfrid Laurier Collegiate will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary during the next school year. Plans are being made for the 25th Anniversary weekend of May nth and 12th. To purchase tickets for the events on the two days ahanni should get on the mailing list by calling Don- na McClelland at 3%-6894. Scarborough committee that the TTC is at a turning point. While ridership last year was up by 34% over the previous decade, the TTC will face some serious challenges in the 1990's, Pill said. He said the TTC will lose business from the baby boomers who are now hit- ting middle age and use public transit less while at the same time special in- terest groups such as the disabled, low income earners, those living out- side of Metro and post secondary students are all making demands on the TTC. The TTC is still accepting comments from the public on how to improve service and where the TTC should be heading in the 1990's. DECK DESIGN Custom built decks, porches, deck accessories and repairs.

But even before the con- troversial new by-law was approved some councillors said they wanted their communities exempted from it or part of it. Council held a special meeting last week to try to come to grips with the monster home issue. These are large homes, usually double or triple the size of adjacent homes, built on relatively small lots. They have drawn the ire of neighbours who complain of loss of privacy and devaluation of their proper- ties. After four hours of debate, council decided to impose the new by-law - but only on those wards where the councillor requested it. As a result, wards 1, 7, 12 and 13 now limit the size of monster homes. The other councillors will have to decide by the next council meeting on July 17 whether they also want to be includ- ed in the by-law. The by-law, proposed by Councillors Bas Balkissoon and Harvey Barron, limits the size of houses on lots less than 4.400 sq. ft. (406 sq. metres) to 60% of the lot size to a maximum of 2,200 sq. ft. ( 204 sq. metres ) . Lots between 4.400 and 7,500 sq. ft. (408 sq. metres and 697 sq. metres) can have a house that is 50% of the lot to a ceiling of 3,000 sq. ft. (279 sq. metres). For large lots - those over 7,500 sq. ft. ( 697 sq. metres) - the house can be 40% of the lot without any cap on its sine. Some members of the public feel the proposed by- law is "draconian...

The season begins Nov. nth at St. Boniface Roman Catholic Church with the internationally acclaimed professional choir, the Elmer Iseler Singers. On Sun. Dec. 17th the choir will present "Carols With Brass", a favourite with concert -goers in Metropolitan Toronto. During 1990, the monumental oratorio -Eli- jah" by Mendelssohn will be performed and the choir will be accompanied by a professional orchestra of 36 players and five soloists. Amadeus Viennese Delight will complete the season on June 2nd. This evening of lighter music will include Brahm's "Liebeslieder Waltzes" and choruses from Franz Leber's Merry Widow, a program designed to ap- peal to all ages. Not part of the regular subscription season but sure to be a highlight and a perfect start to the Yuletide season is the Amadeus Choir's produc- tion of the "Messiah" on Nov. 18th and 19th.

Stephen Dupuis, government relations manager for the Toronto Homebuilders' Association urged council to remember the rights of property owners. But Cliffcrest resident Ron Murray argued that the size of homes in his area should be limited to 2,500 sq. ft. He said that too many large homes of 3,000 sq. ft. will be allowed tinder the by-law because the ma- jority of lot sizes in the city fall in the second category. Statistics show that almost 40% of all existing homes in Scarborough are 1,000-1249 sq. ft. in size. AMCU AMCU CREDIT UNION INC. A Full Service Multi Branch Credit Union.

Serving the Community Since 1950 Page 6 THE NEWS IPOST Wed Bill Watt' AL FRESCO 1: One cannot but applaud the Canadian Stage Com- pany and its commitment each summer to the presentation of a work by Shakespeare in High Park. Director Guy Sprung has commendably stated "Our greatest wish is that The Dream be accessible for everyone.' "Aye, there's the rub" . . "accessible for everyone." It is a Cine idea to present the works of the master in a natural amphitheatre al fresco. A balmy summer's eve should be spent out- doors and if one can do so while enjoying Shakespeare as "night's candles are burnt out". then the "wilderness is paradise enow!- But. dammit ! , one has to hear the words and see the actions: otherwise• one might just as well stay on one's patio and read from a well thumbed copy of. in this case. The Comedy of Errors. Come to think about it. Comedy of Errors as a title just about sums up the events and happenings of opening night. You see. The Dream. as these annual presentations are called, is quite popular: so much so that greater crowds than can be decently accommodated . July 12, 1999 s Worlds show up. Good stuff but that should not prevent a performance starting on time, it should not be cause for an unctuous voice on the P.A. to urge all to squeeze over because "we still have some people com- ing up the hill" and it shoorasel shouldn't mean that one has to lose a posi- tion of reasonably good visibility because some can't make the effort to ar- rive on time. Well, you say, the perfor- mance is free and one shouldn't complain. Well, it isn't exactly free. Although the request is a gentle one, it is suggested that a minimum $3 be given. That's after one is sub- jected to charming volunteers selling raffle tickets and souvenirs. It's fine that the C.S.C. is working hard toward self support but 'the play's -still -the thing" and an audience should not be subject to inconvenience and even. discomfort. The solution seems sim- ple enough: simply limit the number of attendees. Apart from anything else, that should prevent any hassles from safety of- ficials. What about the play?

The setting is now a modern Mediterranean beach resort. Graeme Thomson's set includes a 15 foot swimming pool - sometimes it can be seen - and 50 tons of imported sand. ( Imported from where, one wonders.) When the performers are "downstage" they cannot be seen by people half way up the hill and when the ac- tion is upstage, the wings prevent vision from the sides of the audience. We think that if one ar- rived about two hours before "curtain" and sat dead centre towards the bottom of the hill, one would see all of the action and maybe even hear most of the dialogue. We believe it is problably a good show but you will have to make your own determination. We cannot and should not comment on what is not completely heard and or sem.

DANCE 71.ME: The O'Keefe has two ex- citing Canadian premieres on tap. The first is Africa Oye! which opens on July 25th for eight performances through July 30th. It's a show that presents eight African societies presenting an overview of the Dark Continent's past, present and future. Thexe will be traditional and con- temporary music and dan- cing performed by numerous artists who have never before appeared out- side their native lands. The company consists of over 50 dancers, singers and musicians in authentic and exciting costumes. It rather makes one think about Ipi Tombi which played The O.K. in Oc- tober, '75. That was the show that was supposed to electrify audiences with a display of bare bosoms. We well recall that the show was indeed electrifying, so much so that most people didn't even notice the bare breasts. That's excitement, and Africa Oye!, by all advance accounts, would seem to promise as much and more as the earlier attraction. The second premiere is on Aug. 8th and it's A Chorus Line. What's that you say? A Chorus Line? Surely it's played Toronto several times with a few stops along the way at The O'Keefe. Quite so Kemo Sabe but there's something special about this presentation that qualifies it as a premiere. That's the appearance of Donna McKechnie in the role of Cassie. She was the original Cassie on Broadway and was supposed to appear in the role a few summers ago at The O.K. but contractual difficulties got in the way. After having appeared in Sweet Charity at the Royal Alex, she is finally corning to the Front Street theatre in the show which made her. It will run through Aug. 3th and will be well worth one's custorn. We've quite frankly lost hunt of the number of tines we've seen A Chorus Line and it still thrills us. Heck, we'll probably wear the old gold laa3E din- ner jacket. AT THE Q.E.: We have an idea that this is going to be a recurring cut line. The newly refurbished Queers Elisabeth Theatre is not about to fade away with the departure of Broadway bound Shenandoah.

Phone 294.3275 for more information Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Mills-Cockell is superb and worthy of recording and the cast, when one can see and hear them seems to be having a good time. The setting is now a modern Mediterranean beach resort. Graeme Thomson's set includes a 15 foot swimming pool - sometimes it can be seen - and 50 tons of imported sand. ( Imported from where, one wonders.) When the performers are "downstage" they cannot be seen by people half way up the hill and when the ac- tion is upstage, the wings prevent vision from the sides of the audience. We think that if one ar- rived about two hours before "curtain" and sat dead centre towards the bottom of the hill, one would see all of the action and maybe even hear most of the dialogue. We believe it is problably a good show but you will have to make your own determination. We cannot and should not comment on what is not completely heard and or sem. Still. we make bold enough to suggest that this production would do well to reflect ..'tis mad idolatry to make the service greater than the god' AL FRESCO II: While still outdoors• here's a reminder that you can catch Blue Rodeo tomorrow and Friday in evening performances at I'm Forum in Ontario Place. Performances begin at 3:30 each evening but our guess is that all available seats will be occupied long before then and we recom- mend early arrival, par- ticularly on Friday. You have been advised. DANCE 71.ME: The O'Keefe has two ex- citing Canadian premieres on tap. The first is Africa Oye! which opens on July 25th for eight performances through July 30th. It's a show that presents eight African societies presenting an overview of the Dark Continent's past, present and future. Thexe will be traditional and con- temporary music and dan- cing performed by numerous artists who have never before appeared out- side their native lands. The company consists of over 50 dancers, singers and musicians in authentic and exciting costumes. It rather makes one think about Ipi Tombi which played The O.K. in Oc- tober, '75. That was the show that was supposed to electrify audiences with a display of bare bosoms. We well recall that the show was indeed electrifying, so much so that most people didn't even notice the bare breasts. That's excitement, and Africa Oye!, by all advance accounts, would seem to promise as much and more as the earlier attraction. The second premiere is on Aug. 8th and it's A Chorus Line. What's that you say? A Chorus Line? Surely it's played Toronto several times with a few stops along the way at The O'Keefe. Quite so Kemo Sabe but there's something special about this presentation that qualifies it as a premiere. That's the appearance of Donna McKechnie in the role of Cassie. She was the original Cassie on Broadway and was supposed to appear in the role a few summers ago at The O.K. but contractual difficulties got in the way. After having appeared in Sweet Charity at the Royal Alex, she is finally corning to the Front Street theatre in the show which made her. It will run through Aug. 3th and will be well worth one's custorn. We've quite frankly lost hunt of the number of tines we've seen A Chorus Line and it still thrills us. Heck, we'll probably wear the old gold laa3E din- ner jacket. AT THE Q.E.: We have an idea that this is going to be a recurring cut line. The newly refurbished Queers Elisabeth Theatre is not about to fade away with the departure of Broadway bound Shenandoah. Opening on July 24th it's the number one show from Atlantic City titled Superstars - It'll beollowed on Aug. 16th by Living Legends. Judging by the date, one supposes that Living Legends will be in presen- tation during the C.N.E. and admission price will likely include admission to The Fac.

This year's total to date is $377.4 million. This is $100 million ahead of the recorded for the first half of 1967. The greatest increase is in commercial buildings which is up by $70 million over last year. Industrial permits are down by $27 million but dousing con- struction is up by $40 million.

Study Sewer Problem Council has agreed to spend $30,150 to have a con- sultant study the combined sewer problem in the area bounded by Victoria Park Ave., Kingston Rd., the Toronto Hunt Club and Lake Ontario. This area has sewers which carry both storm water and sanitary waste into Lake Ontario. Most of Scarborough is on separate sewers so that sewage does not pollute the lake. Canviro Consultants Ltd. will carry out the study that will look at how to solve the problem. Clean Up CNR Council has decided to go in and clean up a section of Canadain National Railway north of Kenmark Ave. and then send the railway company the bill. Cost of the cleanup will be between $2,000 and $3,000. Area residents have com- plained about the litter and debris on CN's land which constitute a safety hazard.

Metro Toronto Council Notes Solomon Shiner, husband of the late Esther Shiner, former conroller in North York and member of Metro Council, is donating records consisting of scrap- books, clippings, photographs. video tapes, audio tapes, slides, files and miscellaneous per- sonal papers of his late wife to the archives of Metro Toronto. If North York establishes an archives in the future it will be permit- ted to copy material from Entrepreneurs Profit From New Centennial Program Entrepreneurs aren't predisposed to take part in formal educational pro- grams. "In fact, many con- sider standard business courses to be dangerous to their wealth." quips David Jackson, director, Centen- nial College's Centre of En- trepreneurship. So to counter this mind- set, the Owner Develop- ment program will be laun- ched by Centennial College for fall '89. Aimed to improve the performance of those in the small business sector, and to reduce the failure rate among small businesses, the new Owner Develop- ment evelopment course consists of 10 four-hour seminars, scheduled over a full year. Every month, a program advisor visits each partici- pant's place of business for a half-day consultative ses- sion: shirt -sleeves rolled, the advisor will help the owner implement what be she has learned in the seminars. There is no prescribed curriculum to the program, says Jackson. Participants choose the topic areas they wish to explore, and then Centennial College ..brings in the experts". "Our resource people have practical experience In small business, and are .good presenters," adds Jackson. "We don't expose participants to academics. Instead, we bring in seminar leaders who have learned by doing-.. Only non -competing, small business owners will participate in the program. There will be ample oppor- tunity for professional net- working. and supportive business counsel. Entrepreneurs based in East York and Scar- borough are encouraged to apply: participants may be eligible for financial assistance. Deadline for application is Mon. July 31st.

No Indoor Plumbing For Historic Cornell House by Gay Abbate Scarborough may pride itself on being "the City of the Future" ( its slogan) but it appears intent on keeping a piece of the city back in the dark ages. Councillors appear reluc- tant to pay to install indoor plumbing and a washroom in the historic Cornell House located in Thomson Park. At last week's meeting, council debated whether to spend $80,000 on the washroom. (The province may contribute $26,667.) Presently, staff have to lug water in buckets from the public washrooms in the park. Bottled water is used in cooking. The only water inside the house is cold water coming from a tap which is hooked up to the park's sprinkler system. This cannot be us- ed for drinking or cooking because it is contaminated with fertilizer spread in the park. Some councillors have suggested it would be cheaper - and more historical - to either dig a well or build an outhouse. "Perhaps we should retain the authenticity of Cornell House by not putting in a washroom," said Edith Montgomery who sug- gested the city look at the cost of digging a well. Councillor Doug Mahood suggested the outhouse. Most of the $80,000 is the cost of running sewers to the house. Councillor Ron Watson said it is a high price to pay for history but the washroom should be in- stalled "whatever it takes". Council deferred the decision so staff could look at the cost of a well and possibly winterizing the nearby public washrooms. the Esther Shiner Collec- tion. :Handicapped Parking Spots North York Mayor Mel Lastman is angry at people who use spaces reserved for the handicapped for their own cars. He says that the people doing this are usually wealthy who do not want to get their clothes wet walking to a shopping centre. The mayor tried to get the fine raised from $50 to $500 but legal opinion said that the maximum that could be charged is $300. So Metro Council passed this amendment to parking fines. Councillor Joe Pantalone said maybe the fine could be taking a driver's home or car or hang the offender by his or her feet when commenting on Mayor Lastman's vehemence on this topic. Parking On Hinder Estate Park Metro Council debated the pros and cons of mov- ing the parking lot in the Hinder Estate Park in North York last week because it bothers the 14 residents in the exclusive area. Councillor Howard Moscoe asked that the parking be moved to allow access from Bathurst St. The change was approved by council. The Hinder Estate Park is just north of Earl Bales Park. Traffic Control Signals Metro has approved of traffic control signals at the intersection of Mid- dlefield Rd. and McNicoll Ave. in Scarborough at a cost of $61,000. Metro has decided to in- stall traffic control signals at Morningside Ave. and Milner Ave. at a cost of $40,000. and as well will in- stall lights at Finch Ave. E. and Neilson Rd. at a cost of $67,000. Further traffic control signals will be installed at Kennedy Rd. and McNicoll Ave. at a cost of $52,000. Another set of traffic lights are to be installed at Victoria Park Ave. and Arncliffe Cr. mainly for the benefit of pedestrians in this area. The estimated cost is $48.000. Ban Right Hand Turns Metro Council has ap- proved pproved of the prohibition of right hand turns from Mack Ave. to Warden Ave. in Scarborough during the hours of 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Ed Fulton, Minister of Transport, of Ontario, recently made some announcements which have a substantial positive impact on the Region of Durham. Ed announced a $M million program for highways and roads in the Metro area. These announcements relate to the $2 billion Transportation Capital program which was part of our recent budget. First, and foremost, is the accelerated widening of the 401 from Neilson Road in Scarborough to Brock Road in Picker- ing. This project is estimated to cost over $185 million. Con- struction is to begin this summer. The Minister also announced $300 million for highway 407 construction over the next rive years. The project is com- mencing west of Metro but will eventually impact Durham and York. The five year plan also provides $65 million for funding major municipal road links in the Metro area. This includes the much needed Taunton Road - Steeles Avenue intercom nection. This road will provide immediate relief for traffic moving east and west between Metro and Durham. In addition to road and highway construction capital, the Minister also announced $550 million worth of new public transit initiatives in the greater Metro area. These projects include the expansion of the GO train service from Whitby to Oshawa. An estimated $46 million will be spent in the ex- tension of services. Residents will recall the recent open - lags of the new Ajax and Whitby Stations. GO service is also being improved to Stouffville which provides service to the residents of Notch Pickering. The project will improve the service on the Stouffville line. 'lois project is dated to begin next year and the anticipated completion to is 1994 or 1995. It is expected that $100 million will be spent to improve the service. I thank all of the residents of Ajax and Pickering for the belp they provided me in pressing the case for transporta- tion improvements in our community. Thank you for your letters, petitions and calls. Please remember to use our roads and highways safely - Don't drink and drive! Home Energy Circuit by Kert6 Wrlota Q. We just coved into a new brise. Wiib wi.ter arwmd the corse!. brew can 1 td If my bottle is dran free? A. Do a quick air leakage test around oubt house on a windy day. Use a down feather, or facial tissue hung from a skirt hanger. Follow the inside edfc of your doors and windows. electrical outlets and baseboards. If the father or tissue flutters, you have found an air leak. Q. Our tee aW boys have de- cided to build a ree room W our basement, but we are F 0 - r P ed abort the noise from their stereo is tbere asytbing we can do to reduce the Boise but still allow the boys their own spw, A. There is. Use insulation to block out the cool weather from exterior walls. To provide sound control of walls and ceilings use Fiberglas Canada Noise St Blanket behind dry wall in all interior walls and ceilings. The product is easy to install into standard wood frame con- struction, and can be cut with a knife, is light weight and easy to handle. Best of all the 2 1/2 inch thickness significantly re- duces noise. Fiber8las Sonoflex Acoustical boards in a suspended ceiling system with a car- pet on the floor will im- prove their enjoyment to the room. Q. Our hot water tank is set at 140 degrees F. That seems very hot to me. Can I reduce the setting? A. If you have a dishwasher with a booster heater, you should reduce the setting to 120 degrees F. Adding an extra insulation blanket, conforming to CGSB Standard 51.65 M. around the outside of the water tank can reduce the energy needed to heat the water regardless of the temperature you choose. Check with the energy supplier (Hydro or Gas Company) before tamper- ing with the settings, or to determine the proper insu- lation type for your size of water hater. Q. We have a bedroom that we don't use. Can we tart df the bat m tbat roots without csnsieg prob. taus? A. If the roan is heated with electrical baseboard haters or ha air registers, and if there arc no water pipes running through the walls in the area, you can turn down the hat, or close the vents. Also close the door to the roan to minimize condensation on windows. If you leave the drapes open during the day, particularly with south or west facing win- dows, take advantage of passive solar gain and the room will be warmer.
