Before Dr. Hardy joined the medical medical staff at Memorial Hospital Bowmanville Bowmanville in February, he had gained valuable medical experience as a travelling travelling physician in the Baffin Island and Frobisher Bay area. He spent five months in 1987 flying flying between tiny settlements -- some with just a few buildings -- treating the sick and injured. Patients from more remote areas had to be flown to nursing stations in more populated areas where they would await treatment by Dr. Hardy. "You can see why it costs a lot of dollars to deliver health care in the North," he told Lions Club members. Dr. Hardy showed some of the slides he had taken while stationed in the Arctic. During some parts of his trip, the sun was below the horizon for both night and day with just a brief "twilight" to interrupt the constant darkness. On August 20th, he recalls a big snow storm. One of his favorite slides was a photograph taken from a plane looking looking out over the huge ice-fields which impressed him so much. At times, when the sun did shine, he found the Harnden-Rutherford Wedding sue L,arsn anu mavis vaniuil use a rncuu UGieviui IU lieip mem luuaiv uiv U1U11Z.V piaijuv muwi rrdS rqmoved from a memorial at the Visual Arts Centre.

However, Ward One Councillor Mary Novak had a few questions regarding Darlington Provincial Park. She wanted to know if people who were walking the trails would have to pay a $6 park charge for visiting visiting the park if all they were going to do is walk through it. Planning Director Frank Wu said he did not know. When she asked about parking along the trail so people could access access different parts of the system, Wu noted: "We haven't gone into detail where people would park." Councillor John O'Toole wanted to know what the trail would cost the municipality once built. Wu assured Councillor O'Toole the maintenance would be low once the trail is in place. Wu estimated that signage damage would be the only ongoing cost and signs would be easily replaced. several outlets for the new food court area.

I can tell you from experience that they really do the trick for a busy business person or a harried parent and all the folks in between. I don't think it really matters what the destination is as long as it's a long way from the telephone that never seems to stop ringing. What about the children ...? Or how about "Mom, I Have To!" A short trip to Florida is very popular and still affordable, a long weekend in Nassau is a wonderful wonderful change of pace as is Las Vegas. Wc have discussed the variety of lodges and resorts right here in Ontario; consider a train trip to Quebec City or a cruise up the Rideau from Kingston to Ottawa. But the list of getaways is endless, Clam Chowder and the Common in Boston, a weekend of baseball in Cleveland, or the Shaw in Niagara on the Lake. These arc only a few of the options you might consider in trying to maintain your budget while rejuvenating yourself and family. It works, I know, it is a chance to get away and recharge, and not mortgage the farm to do it. Remember to call your travel agent for some now ideas.
