By IRENE GENTIE The Champion When a amali town man takes on the elements in a gritty attempt to raise money for children of the world, people want to know what happened. That's why Ries Boers has spent the better part of June atsempting to answer questions about his brutal and life-alte- ing hike through the Grand Canyon laai Th dawaa to turn an extreme vaca- tion into a fundraiser for the Rotary Club'a Polio Plus prograru. which aima to clear the preventable disease from the planet. His efforts raised almoat $3,000, an amount that will be matched by Rotary International. Tlie hike, since you all asked, was by turna hot, bard, humbling and hellish. It began as tise crack of dawn witb tbe temperature hovering at a reasonable 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsiua). By the time tbey got to thse bottom of thse canyon, it was a sizzling 100 F (37 C). And before thse day was over, the 23 km rim-to-rim hike would get hotter than Hades. Temporary solace waa found in thse icy watera of the Colorado River, which wound like liniment to a wound on the canyon floor. But with humiàdity a dust-dry 7 per cent, the water evaporated almoat as soon as the nine person crew entered Bright Angel Creek Canyon. 'That was like bell. Oh, it waa brutal," recalled Mr. Boera. Trouble, unsurprisingly, struck in tbe form of heat stroke. Two Key into opportunity e '4 à,*bs A ~r, get a summer Job.

Ob VT-HE YMCA OF Sheridan HAILeIBJRNTO Caniad hikers were felied by it. As they did, the temperature continued to soar, reaching 120 F, (or an inconceivable 48 C). "It's like walking in an oven," said Mr. Boers. "It's dry as a Cork." But the experience left him with aomething bigger than the bragging rights earned by descending into a seething cauidron and emerging unscathed. Like the certainty of how fragile man's hard-earned comforts, are amidst the majesty of nature de-fanged. "You walk out there and ail the corners are sharp. If you faau you hurt yourself and if the heat goes up, you fry," he said. "You don't mess with mother nature, is what it bouls down to." th exprt NO COST - NO OBLIGATION IN-HOME EVALUATION' Our »Wne home eMfot consuia wili come to lvurflomne andi evaluafe yourocentral air neetis andi reqUireMenl M af NO COST andi wlth No oBL4i7oN Furtheftnore, pilor to Installation we MN peffom~ a oertlfled neat gain ccltion to enstire accrat fsOzng requirement£ OUR GOALSARE TO S4ISFY YOUR HOME COMFOR AND Cill VOU EXCEPTIONAL VALUE PAYMENTS NOTI 1 OAC see Dealer for details THE "SELECT' SERVICE TEAM Providing customrs wvith: " Expenrence (20 years each) * Factory trained " Cornpetitive prices a Quality instation *Warrant e Guaranteed customner satisfaction John ute, jeTp1nSa~i ie Mau om veW aweomf HOlU5, SAT 9.14 4361 Ilarvaster Rd.
