It doesn't appear so in the Provinces Interim Waste Authority (TWA) garbage dump site search in Durham Region, Picker- ing Mayor Wayne Arthuus has told Premier Bob Rae. "The IWA site selection process has resulted in a short list of sites in the Region of Durham, most of which appear to conflict with important Provincial Initiatives," Mayor Ar- thurs said in a letter to Premier Rae. Of the five short list sites in Durham, four are in the Town of Pickering. But all four of the Pickering sites are in conflict with an- nounced Provincial developments! Site EE4 is located in the planned path of Highway 407. "Is Queen's Park plan- ning a four lane tunnel under the garbage dump, a bridge over it, or will it ex- propriate extra lard for a costly detour around the mega -dump?" Mayor Ar thurs said. Sites EE4, EE10 and LEI are within the Plann- ing Area for the proposed Seaton community. The province has touted Seaton as a model community of over 75,000 people. "Is Queen's Park actually pro- posing to build Seaton around one of the largest garbage dumps in Canada? Surely this is a new depar- ture in community plann- ing," the Mayor said. Site Ti is located in the Agricultural Preserve an- nounced by the Rae Government as part of the Rouge Park. "Preserving goad farmland by dumping garbage on it is one of the strangest notions I've ever heard come out of Queen's Park." Mayor Arthurs said. Only one of five short list sites is not in conflict with major Provincial develop- ment plans. This situation raises troubling questions about the viability of a process which seems to have mar- ched forward for two years with its eyes clamped clos- ed. "it's past time for the Rae Government to let its right hand -the IWA-know what its left hand -the rest of the Government -is do- ing. - o- ing." the Mayor said.

September _n. 199:1 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Bob's Notes by Bob Watson The Vote Decision The federal election is moving along and some polls and our own investigations are showing that most citizens have made a decision on whom they are going to vote. This is important because at the start of this election most voters hadn't decided which way to vote. So the voters who are really interested in getting the right government are getting ready to do their job as citizens - and vote! This lovely country of ours - the best in the world - needs a change of pace in government to tune in to the pace of world trade, reduction of our federal deficit, more jobs in the business world and less in the government world. The number of cabinet posts should be reduced to 20 which is five less than Kim Campbell has now. but at least its an improvement over Mulroney's 32 cabinet positions and all the costs associated with them. Our youth needs discipline which they are not getting at home or at school. We believe that all 18 year olds, both (male and female, should go in the armed forces for two years. Their pay could be $5 a week for pocket money but at the end of the two years on their graduation from the military they could be given $15,000 each to go to university or get other business training. And let's cut back on immigration until our unemploy- ment of Canadians is reduced. Only peoplewho have a skill or profession to offer to Canada should be allm-ed in our country. Let's get realistic and stop dishing out money for no good reason. Happy Voting' The Social Contract Dear Editor: I am writing on behalf of more than 143,0(x) North York Hvdro customers who have a vested interest in the outcome of the current Social Contract discussions between the pro- vince and Ontario's electric utilities. Municipal utilities receive no fundirig from the province or municipalities and therefore have in no way contributed to the provincial debt. Regardless. the provincial govern- ment has included utilities udder the Social Contract and accordingly, North York Hydro has submitted a Local Plan to meet its requirements This will cause hardship for our staff and a loss of service for our customers, but under the law, we have to accept it. But surely the law most be tempered with reason and public interest. Ontario's municipal utilities, which have had no impact on the provincial debt, have been called upon to expose both their staff and customers to measures which will bring them no benefit These measures are threatening the abili- ty of both Ontario hydro and the municipal utilities to main- tain a 0% increase for 1993 at a time when our customers are struggling with existing rates which many of them can- not afford. Does it not make much more sense, from both an economic and moral perspective to use the funds saved through the Social Contract to benefit the customers whose hydro payments have built and maintained Ontario's elec- trical generation and distribution system for most of this century' North York Hydro feels it does. It would be very appropriate to use Social Contract sav- ings to offset local rate increases or to reduce Ontario Hvdro's $36 billion debt, which would yield lower wholesale power rates for the future. But taking money out of the pockets of hydro customers and dropping it into the pro- vince's Consolidated Revenue Fund would be a betrayal of both hydro ratepayers and the province's municipal utilities, particularly those such as North York Hydro which have worked so hard to meet current costs with cur- rent revenues in order to benefit our customers and main- tain sound fiscal management. I hope that MPPs, both in North York and across the pro- vince. will support efforts at local utilities to ensure that Social Contract savings generated by electric utilities are kept within the utility sector to benefit hydro ratepayers. Yours truly. D. Carl Anderson, Commission Chairman. North York Hydro.

To the Editor: Does Queen's Park's left hand know what its right hand is long'• The Province's Interim Waste Authority (IWA) garbage dump site searrh in Durham Region has resulted in a short list of five sites. All four sites in Pickering conflict with other major provincial developments! One is located in the planned path of Highway 407. Is Queen's Park planning a four lane tunnel under the garbage dump, a bridge over it, or will it expropriate extra land for a costly detour around the mega -dump? That same site and two others are within the Planning Area for the proposed Seaton community. Is Queen's Park actually proposing to build this "model community" of more than 75,000 people around the largest garbage dump in Canada' Surely this is a new departure in community planning. The fourth is located in the Agricultural Preserve an- nounced by the Rae Government as part of the Rouge Park. Preserving good farmland by dumping garbage on it is one of the strangest notions I've ever heard come out of Queen's Park. These blinders raise troubling question about the viability of a process which seems to have marched for- ward for two years with its eyes clamped closed.

He announced that he was going to give parents a greater voice in the education system by appointing six of them to a newly created council that would meet three or four times a year. Youdon't have to be a straight A student to realize that this pian is nothing more than a PR sham that will do little to help either parents or their children. The plain fact is that Ontario's beleaguered school system is not going to be helped with more bureaucratic councils or with stronger teacher unions or even with more tax dollars. What our schools need is actually quite simple. They need competition. After all, the school system right now is essentially a monopoly. Unless parents can afford to pay for an indepen- dent school, they have no choice but to put their children in- to the public system. Monopolies, of course, mean a lack of accountability. However, if parents were allowed to channel their tax dollars into the public or independent school of their choice they could in a sense "shop around" and send their children to the school of their choice. This is turn would force public schools to improve their product or face losing students. It's a plan which has worked elsewhere and it can work here too. Parents deserve a choice and our children deserve the best education possible. Let's give it to them!

Preston :Nanning, came to Scar- borough on Sun. Sept. 19th and spoke to a packed St. Peter & Paul church hall on Milner Ave. Reform Party candidates from a number of ridings in Scarborough, North York, East Toronto and even Mississauga were on stage with their leader. Following in his belief that politicians should listen to the voters. Mr. Manning handled a number of questions and opinions from the audience. He told the audience that an "Ottawa Fever" gets M.P.s so that their memory goes. hearing goes, and head swells. Parliamentary reform will cure the "Ottawa Fever", Manning declared. Immigration should be reduced and be based on Canada's economic interest, stated the Reform Leader. ( Photo - Bob Watson) Police Appreciation Nigh t Reform Party can- didates from most Scar- borough ridings as well as Ontario Riding, Markham Stouffville- Whitchurch, Don Valley North, and Don Valley East combined to host a "Police Apprecia- tion Night" on Tues. Sept. 14th at Agincourt Col- legiate. The crowd of about 500 people, almost half of whom indicated they were not members of the Reform Party, expressed strong appreciation for the various planks of the party's Justice policy - These were presented by several of the candidates after an inspiring, straight from the heart address by Don Sullivan, Ontario Riding's candidate, who is himnselt a serving police of- ficer, on unpaid leave of absence for the election campaign, and who is a member of the party's na- tional committee on justice reform. Mr. Sullivan described for the audience what it was like to be a policeman when be started in Metro 23 years ago. and contrasted that with today's policing environment. Using the cause of the evening's program, a bomb threat against the police was received at the school. When program chairman Les Saunders. candidate of the Scarborough Rouge River Riding, announced the threat. however, people left the school in an orderly fashion and the police did not rind any expla6ive. A young motorcycle con- stable concluded the pro- gram by thanking the Reform Party for its sup- port of our law enforce- ment agencies and in- dicated that he and many of his fellow officers plan to support the Reform party in the current election. Spreading AIDS Prevention Message Spreading the message of AIDS prevention to the black community in North York is the job of communi- ty outreach worker Judith Otto. She will be doing so through a joint effort of the North York Public Health Department and the Blade Coalition for AIDS Preven- tion. "here are still a lot of people in the black com- munity who think that AIDS is a white gay disease. Hopefully, if a black woman works with blacks to fight the spread of AIDS the community will be more receptive to the message," said Otto. "Even though the rate of infection is on the rise, there is a great deal of denial about AIDS in the black community. I hope Saturday Storytime Can't get to Storytime during the week? Want to break the cartoon habit? Bring your preschooler to Saturday sessions of stories, songs, rhymes, films, fingerplays, puppets and games at Armour Heights Library, 2140 Avenue Rd.

To promote education and awareness about HIV infection and AIDS, Otto will work with black com- munity organizations and individuals to develop ways to get the AIDS message across, determine the needs of the community and provide information and support to people with HIV and AIDS.

Justice For All Public Forum On Sept.30th. A public forum called "Justice for All -A Time For Change" invites citizens to voice their con- cerns about the justice system and speak up for the rights of crime victims Sept. 30 at North York City Hall. The forum was prompted by pleas to North York City Council earlier this year by Jim and Anna Stephenson, whose son was killed by a repeat sex offender, and Dawna Speers, whose teenage daughter was murdered by an ex -boy friend. "If people want to see changes to the justice system, this is the time for them to speak up -while politicians are listening and looking for their votes. We hope this forum will put pressure on the political decision makers to push ahead with reforms," said Jim Stephenson, who has campaigned tirelessly for legal reform since his 11 year old son was murdered five years ago.

September 22, 19x3 Bill Watt's Worlds DINNER THEATRE: If one is Roman Catholic, inner turmoil can be excis- ed in the confines of the Confessional. Others must seek the paid ear of an analyst. Then, there's Neil Simon. He writes plays about his problems and is paid handsomely for so do- ing. Let's see now. There have been Come Blow Your Horn. Act Two, the B. trilogy and arguably, others. Now. there is Jake's Women in current presentation at Stage West. Yes. Mr. Simon's at it again: this time with a work that seems intended as, and hopefully is. his ultimate and final public catharsis. Jake is a writer, a suc- cessful one, still in emo- tional mourning for his dead wife, fearing the break up of his second mar- riage, fearful of commit- ment to a third and still carrying the emotional scars sustained as an over- ly bright child. Doesn't sound like much of a corned%, and yet. by the lord Harr• I Neil Simon's brother and early mentor) it comes off as such. You will laugh at Jake's Women even while asking yourself why the playwright's personal demons are being paraded for the purpose. Its local success is owed to the tight direction of Ron Ulrich and his marshaling of a most talented cast. Jake's Women is a rambl- ing piece and without tight control it could pass over the line from entertain- ment to mere self in- dulgence. Mr. Ulrich doesn't allow it. Well done. Richard Line is Jake and the role is perhaps one of Mr. Simon's most deman- ding He is on stage throughout except for one beef exit and is in virtual inter reaction with one or more of the seven other cast members at all times. a demanding role, we repeat, and one where %Ir Kline's classical training is necessary and in abundant evidence. His every gesture and glance is ob- viously studied and yet, the gentleman uses his techni- que and motivational skills only as superb weapons in Simon's arsenal. He's fun - m. he's poignant. he's ultimately successful in making an audience care about Jake. Jayne Eastwood is back on stage for the first time in mam- moons and what a welcome return it is. She plays the role of Jake's analyst. She's bright, ar- ticulate and properly brit- tle in the Simon manner Catherine Barroll evokes as much emotion as is possible in the poorly writ- ten role of Jake's first wife. Mary Long is Jake's sister (even Neil Simon wouldn't dare use his brother again!) and contrives to flesh out the role as well as anyone could. His daughter Molly is played as a child by Jordan Filips and as an adult by Beverley MacKeen. Both do well. And, gorgeous Melodee Finlay makes Jake's cur- rent girl friend something considerably more than a bimbo. Alison MacLeod is Jake's second wife, one of the few roles in the play, other than that of Jake, that has some substance. She does well with it and turns what could be a shadowy crea- tion into something with a degree of complexity. Jake's Women is a bit of a departure for Stage West and those who attend ex- pecting farce or wild com- edy will not find it. They will. however, find and ex- perience a most unusual work that commands atten- tion. And. of course. it helps if one is unaware that the playwright has found a gold mine in baring his soul publicly Ll'N('HEON THE %TRE: How enjoyable it w•as finally to catch one of Barry Nesbitt's Matinee Theatre shows at I -e Parc (LA -she St. and Hwy. 7). This one was On With The Show and it's a presenta- tion of musical show stop- pers from stage, screen and radio by an on stage cast of five with musical accompaniment. More about the presentation shortly. Oni of the really nice ttungs is the presence of host Barr• N. and his char- rning wife. They made a point of speaking with each guest before the perfor- mance and of thanking all personally as they left. A nice homey touch. Theshou itself?

Doug Crossley (a more or less Bill Clinton lookalike) sings with controlled power and occasional funky humour: Peggy Mahon is the quintessential penultimate act (Those who remember vaudeville will know what w,e mean ): Malorie Mandolitis is perky and cute: Dino Gran - di performs miracles on the accordion without ever removing his hands from his arms. His Lady of Spain reminds one murchly of long ago stolen afternoons at the old Casino Theatre. It all makes for a gentle afternoon's divertissement and. as host Barry Nesbitt remarked to us as we were leaving. "it's a lot of Etat".

On r•efleciton. you must have been there. everyone else ryas. That name Denam and Lace is correct by the way. Seems that Denim and Lace is trademarked by another group. It's a good and reasonably tight cross over Country and Western group that caild make it all the way with the institution of some elementary perform- ing disciplines. EG: No group should play so loud that it can't be heard. EG: No drummer. regardless of how talented, should be allowed to forget that the best drummers are those who aren't heard: who are part of a musical aggregation as accompani- ment only. The arguable best of them all. Cozy Cole. never forgot that. And. does anyone remember the name of Guv Lombar•do's drummer? R'e thought not and _vet, be was the heart of an orchestra that was famous for its beat. Even so, Denam and Lace are more entertaining than the Sante Fe's famous flaming horned toads fly- ing overhead. FOOD N(r E.S: Now that Jeremy Brown's Show has been dumped unceremoniously from CFRB.

Watch your flyers closely and when you're ordering delivery, make certain that you're reading the delivery menu, not the take out menu. There's a substantial dif- ference in costs. BIRD NOTES: The Column can eat crow Reference Library Gallery is bringing to Toronto Zeller Free Dream Zeller Sueno Libre, honouring the visual and literary work of poet and artist Ludwig Zeller. This exhibit features as well as anyone and is pleased to do so now. It'll be recalled that we didn't and don't think highly of the Canadian Opera Com- pany's presentations of Bluebeard's Castle by Bar- tok and Schoenberg's Er- wartung. Mind you. we don't think much of anything by Schoenberg. Well. those two produc- tions presented as a double offering have been award- ed the 19M Critics Award in the music category by the Edinburgh Festival. The Scotsman Hamada Festival Prize is given to a company or individual judged to have reached the highest standard of ex- cellence at the Edinburgh International or Fringe Festival. Well done C.O.C. We're ready to eat our crow now.. .well done. IAXST NOTES: When Opera in Concert presents Hamlet at Massey Hall on Oct. 3rd, audiences will hear a long lost Ger- trude Claudius duet in Act 11 especially orchestrated for this performance by Victor Davies. This will mark the begin- ning of (Vera in Concert's 20th Anniversary Season. Mayhap the joy of the occa- sion will allow us to be forgiven in trotting out a remembrance of the late Jimmy Durante singing I'm da guy that found the lost chord. SWING NOTES: For a generous sampling of music from the hit show Forever Plaid, be at the Waterfall Stage of First Canadian Place this Fri- day.

At length, the morn and cold indifference came." Different context. Same meaning. - works by Zeller, as well as Eric Britian, Susana Wald and John Wheeler (Silver - thorn), who bring Zeller's poems to life through a visual interpretation of his wards. Zeller Free Dream is at the Gallery from Sept. 18 to Nov. 14. The main objective of the International Book Fair of Guadalajara (FIL)-the largest of its kind in the Spanish speaking world -is to provide links for the diverse book industry of Latin America with the ever expanding North American market. Each year. FIL invites one artist to be its focal point. In 1991 the selection of Ludwig Zeller, a successful poet and artist, born in Chile, living and working in Canada, was ideal for he embodied the North; South links that FII, was attemp- ting to establish. Along with this exhibition, backed by External Affairs Canada, Zeller par- ticipated in round table discussions with writers and publishers at the Book Fair. Zeller's main inspiration is from the Spanish Baro- que and the Surrealist movement and is characterized by the breaking down of recogniz- ed artistic boundaries through experimentation. The interpretation of Zeller's poetry by Wald, Brittan and Wheeler en- courages Zeller's audience to examine his work in new and unusual ways. 'These well known Canadian ar- tists have taken the written word off paper and applied it to the mediums of can- vas, wood and plaster. The exhibit, a scaled down ver- sion of the one from Guadalajara, is a unique opportunity for the public to see world class art for free. The Gallery is located on the ground floor of the Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, near Yonge and Bloor. It is wheelchair accessible and is open dur- ing Library hours: Mon- days through Thursdays 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays 9 a m. to ; p.m. and Sundays (afte- -et. 17th) 1:30 to 5 p. m. t J . a Sept. 18 to Nov. 14.

The northern entrance is located an the south side of Highway 7 at Green River, approximately 8 kms east of Markham. To locate the southern entrance, take Brock Rd. north and turn left at the first road north of Finch Ave. to Camp Pidaca. The trail is marked with single yellow rings ( double rings in case of direction change ). Keep these in sight and you will remain on the designated path. The trail contains three sections: (1) A walking trail from Camp Pidaca to Clarkes Hollow where easy walking enables you to view a range of natural features, animals and sights at leisure. (2) A wilderness trail located in the mid portion from Clarkes Hollow to Whitevale. This area presents an ideal setting to experience "true wilderness", a feature that is becoming increasingly rare in southern Ontario: and (3) a heritage trail from Whitevale to Green River where old millworks, ponds and lowland woods have been used to highlight the natural- histone features of the area. The hiking trail was created in cooperation with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and develloped with high school and university students under Ontario's summer works program. The trail, a living laboratory that provides a natural science experience for everyone, is a single, uninterrupted link of more than 1,000 acres stretching from Green River in the north to Camp Pidaca in the south, a distance of 7.2 kms. With twists and turns the actual walking distance is over 10 kms. OW PARENT F'AMIL_IFS AS.MWIATION This is a non-profit Canadian Association of Families with one parent.

Eight hundred delegates from 284 local snowmobile clubs across Ontario assembled to plan the upcoming season for Canada's fastest growing winter recreation activity. Special guest speaker Kay Loyd, Chair of the In- ternational Snowmobile Congress ( ISC) , commend- ed the OFSC for its leader- ship in addressing safety and environment concerns and for its innovative pro- grams and services that are setting new standards of excellernce in the interna- tional snowrnobiling com- munity. One rrnore such program was approved at Convention '93. Capitalizing upon last winter's dramatic 25% OFSC membership in- crease, the federation has launched a major new Sled Smart marketing program to promote Ontario snowmobiling and trail permit sales. Already the world's most successful user pay recreational trail organization, operating over 35,000 kms of snowmobile trails, the OFSC unveiled this am- bitious provincial cam- paign to sell 100,000 trail permits, a record-breaking 30% growth target. Central to the new in- itiative is the OFSC Sled Smart Card, exclusive to federation members, which entitles snowmobilers to year ................. gram is a terrific way to show these dedicated coaches just how valuable they truly are to us. round special offers and bonus considerations from participating companies and businesses throughout the province. The card also offers these Sled Smart Partners an exciting and unique opportunity to build or expand their snownwbil- ing business by tapping in- to the $400 milion spent an- nually in the province by OFSC members. "Ontario snowinobiling is accelerating at un- precedented rates," en- thused OFSC President and 1993 Canadian Snowmobtler of the Year recipient Don Lumley, "so we are introducing a new customer driven marketing program that will deliver more dollars to our member clubs for trail grooming and at the same time offer Ontario snowmobilers added value incentives." Under the federation's user pay system, snowmobilers are required to purchase an annual trail permit that accesses both the new TOP 4 Trans On- tario Provincial) Trail net- work and extensive inter- connecting regional and local snowmobile trail systems. The Sled Smart Card will accompany every permit sold this season at no extra cost. In support of permit sales, Ontario's volunteer snowmobile clubs are be- ing provided with an assortment of professional marketing tools specially designed for the OFSC by the award winning graphics company Lithart Associates, Toronto. "For the first in our 27 year history, we are coor- dinating a comprehensive, province wide campaign to encourage the participa- tion of the winter tourist, recreationists, sportsman and cottager." notes OFSC Marketing Manager John Blaicher. "By providing our clubs with a universal, consistent marketing message and theme. we believe that more families, casual users, and retired couples will discover our sport. while non member snowmobilers will come on board to enjoy the combin- ed benefits of great snowmobile trails and the Sled Smart Card... Sled Smart is also design- ed to piggy back on the heightened public awareness generated by Ontario's new $750,000 snowmobile tourism marketing initiative laun- ched at the OFSC conven- tion with the debut of the showcase video, ..Ontario: Snowmobile Paradise", part of a major promotion targeted to border states and other provinces. OFSC's convention delegates gave their Board of Directors a strong man- date for its efforts and direction in promoting and marketing Ontario snowmobding, including a ground breaking initiative to provide a joint Ontario; Quebec trail permit for this season which would allow Ontario snowmobilers to ride over 60,000 kms of snowmobile trails for one fee. Delegates also spent almost $1 million dollars in North Bay, truly a sign that the purchasing power of Ontario snowmobilers is moving into high gear for another banner year of great riding. OFSC trail permits and Sled Smart Cards are now on sale throughout the pro- vince from local snowmobile clubs at an early bird price of $65 before Dec. 1st and a regular price of $80 thereafter. travel World Travel Course Well known Graham Cable TV travel television host Irwin Patterson will coordinate and host World Travel, ten afternoons of travel slides for the City of Scarborough Recreation, Parks and Culture Depart- ment from Sun.

Centreville's Carousel: A Ride In The Past Centreville on Toronto's Centre ]island is home to a unique, turn of the century, Dentzel Carousel. This ride attracts not only chikh-en of all ages, but also art lovers, historians, and amusement ride en- thusiasts from all over the world. The maker of the ride, G.A. Dentzel Steam and Horse Power Carousel Company, was established in Philadelphia in 1867. The Dentzel, led by Gustav, were German immigrants fleeing unemployment and war in Europe. They had been taught the art of wood carving by their father Michael, and expanded the business enough to hire other carvers from the Germantown area of Philadelphia. The company thrived. A three -abreast Dentzel cost $18,000 and a four abreast cost $24,000 in the early 1920's. Today the Cen- treville Dentzel is estimated to be worth $2 million. The carvers established their own styles. Daniel Muller was noted for his horses with flared nostrils and flying manes. When Muller left Dentzel, Salvatore Cernigliaro became the prominent carver and was known for his whimsical animal carv- ings of rabbits, ostriches, and lions. These figures can be seen today at Centreville. Ac- cording to Bill Beasley, Centreville's General Manager, the carved animals inspire wonder from the appreciators of art. "The Dentzel is an operating, functioning piece of art and history. There are only 20 of them left in North America," be says. The ride was originally purchased from Bushkill Park in Allentown, Penn- sylvania in 1966. Warren Beasley, Bill's father, look- ed all over North America for just the right one for the opening of Centreville more than 25 years ago. "To my father, nothing signified an amusement park more than the carousel," he says, "Before the high-tech roller coasters, and wild spinning rides, the carousel was the main attraction at an amusement park." There were once hun- dreds of Dentzels at amuse- ment parks all over North America. Many of them were taken apart and sold to collectors, or were destroyed by fire. Accor- ding to Beasley they are also expensive to maintain. "It's hard to find parts and artisans to take care of the ride. But the looks on the children's faces when they see the hand -carved animals is well worth the cost," says Beasley. -You just can't use any old painter to slop some paint on the hand -carved animals. And nobody manufactures replacement parts any more," says Wed. September 22, 1993 THE NEWS POST Page 1I a� Look A!

Centrevifle's carousel is famous throughout North America. Several members of the Interna- tional Association of Carousel Riders came to Toronto in August to ride the Centreville's carousel The Dentzel Carousel is what Centreville is all about. It stands prominent- ly near the entrance to the park right next to the ferns wheel. "Many people feel that the Dentzel is just another merry-go-round. To us it's a symbol of days gone by. Of simpler family times," says Beasley. Quick Tips On Healthy Travel Treating A Sunburn Here is a hot health tip to remember as vacation time nears. If you happen to end up on the toasty side, make sure you give your sunburn the proper atten- tion. To soothe the hot bur- ning, use cool compresses soaked in water or milk. Spray the area with a first aid spray to prevent infec- tion and relieve the pain. Once the burn has cooled, you can spread on the burn cream. Creams and foams sold to treat haemorrhoids are surprisingly effective for sunburns. But St. Michael's Hospital Travel Clinic wants you to remember that if the burn starts to seriously blister or bubble, you should see a doctor. To avoid burns altogether, use a strong sunscreen when you're out in the sun. Cost Of Driving Is Up Owning and operating a car costs the average driver $7,031.60 an increase of $64 over last year. Figures released on Aug. 31st by the Canadian Automobile Association CAA, show that higher in- surance and depreciation costs have more than offset lower expenses for fuel and financing. Assuming that 24,000 kilometres are driven per year, each kilometre costs 29.3 cents, up from 29.0 cents last year. The CAA Car Costs 19903 - 1994 data is based on a 1993 Chevrolet Cavalier RS with a 2.2 litre, 4 cylinder engine which is driven 24,000 kilometres a year. A four door sedan, the Cavalier is equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering. power disc brakes. AM -FM stereo, a rear window defogger, speed control. a tilt steer- ing wheel, engine block heater and a heavy dirty battery. Figures are provided to CAA by Rumheimer Inter- national, a management consulting firm that pro- vides services to accurate- ly measure the costs of transportation. The Car Casts brochures also ranks the ten pro- vinces and the Yukon. For the fourth year in a row, car costs are highest in Quebec, and for the seventh year in a row are lowest in Alberta. Ontario moved from fourth to se - cod highest, while British Columbia moved from seventh to fifth highest - 19W3 -1994 Car Cost in- cludes figures for both operating and ownership costs.
