Page 11, News, Tuesday, January 8, 1991 Ahh! Peace on earth at last -- or at least here at 14 Croissant Crescent. The twins are actually doing their homework, Em is at the local high school starting her French lessons and for the first time in what seems like weeks, the house is free of relatives. So as I planned, I headed up to the attic to start my caulking and weatherstripping project. I got a great pamphlet from The Hydro and it said the best time to caulk the attic is in the winter, because it's not too hot up there and it's also easier to feel the spots where warm air's coming in from below. I was surprised to learn that up to 15 per cent of the air leaks in a house are right in the attic. Anyway, Em and I want to insu- late up there, so we had to do this caulking and weatherstrip- ping first. I had to laugh, though, remem- bering what just happened. I guess Em and the kids will never Ict me live it down. We were up there just last week storing the Christmas dec- orations when my foot slipped between the joists and I put my foot right through Belinda's bed- room ceiling. What a mess, with Belinda screeching and plaster in the hamster cage. Then the next day Em was on the phone with one of her cousins talking about something = Th Make your move. Vk / UOUIEAINYLd > Pretty Woman "R" Rating: 0 poor.....10 excellent by Carolyn Williams This is a Cinderella story for modern times. Julia Roberts plays Vivian Ward. A woman of the streets, who still has an air of innocence about her. Efferv- escent and captivating, she literal- ly charms the pants off Edward Lewis (played by Richard Gere) and he's never been the same since. Great Aunt Hilda had done which annoyed me, and she said, "Phil was so mad, Ethel! He just went through the roof!" Then she realized what she said and everybody, the twins includ- ed, burst out laughing. And then, of course, Ethel had to have an explanation. Anyway, I got a great caulking gun for Christmas and went to the mall to get the right stuff. I went all out and got the type of caulk- ing which lasts at least 10 years. According to the pamphlet, caulking and weatherstripping are sort of like the same dog but with a different tail; caulking seals edges that meet, but don't move, and you weatherstrip when one surface moves, like at the bottom of a door. It was easy. And I have to say, I'm looking forward to cutting down on our heating bill. Up to 25 per cent, The Hydro said. I could use the money. It'll pay for a sheet of plaster- board and some paint for Belinda's ceiling. Edward hires Vivian to be his companion for one week (he wants no emotional ties). With his great wealth, he introduces her to a whole new world. The jewels and clothes don't overwhelmingly impress her though. As she tell her room-mate Kit (Laura San Giacomo) anyone can clean up nice, with enough money. Three public works projects will be undertaken this winter and spring in Terrace Bay and Manitouwadge by the Ministry of Natural Resources. "This commitment of $247,000.00 by our government will help the members of these communities affected by the recession", said Gilles Pouliot, Minister of Mines and MPP for This newspaper, in conjunc- tion with Ontario Hydro, is bringing you Phil's Basement to help "bring home" ideas on how to save energy.

Michel, Judy, Jason, Michelle and ie , ay ge Ste Imbeault. Poor Carolyn's Critique What does impress her is Edward and she falls in love with him. Many pitfalls happen along the way, but in true fairy tale fashion, the prince rescues the downtrodden damsel. Hector Elizondo gives a won- derful performance as Barney, the hotel manager. He tries to be aloof as be-fits his position, but from the first moment he meets Vivian, he is drawn to her like a protective father. He instantly sees the potential in her and treats her with the kindness and respect she de- serves. I totally enjoyed this movie. I laughed, I cried, I cared. Won- derful performances by all and a great storyline make this a pleas- ant viewing experience. I give it a 10 +. Winter work projects Two of these projects will upgrade waste disposal sites in Terrace Bay and Manitouwadge. the third project involves prelimi- nary forest management work. Over all, the Ontario Government will spend $5.4 mil- lion for 65 public works projects in the northwest of the province. Small increase to family allowance cheques this year Family Allowance, paid to some 3.7 million Canadian fam- ilies on behalf of 6.7 children, will increase in the new year. The Honourable Perrin Beatty, Minister of National Health and Welfare, announced recently that effective January, 1991, the federal government's Family Allowances, paid monthly for children under age 18, will rise to $33.93 from $33.33 in most provinces and in the territories. The adjustment is based on increases in the Consumer Price Index, Statistics Canada's cost- of-living measure, in excess of three per cent. Under a provision in the Family Allowances Act, a provincial government may ask the federal government to vary the rates payable in that province according to the age or number of children in a family, or both, providing that the aver- age monthly payment in that province equals the federal rate. This option has been chosen by Alberta and Quebec. The refundable Child Tax Credit for the 1990 taxation year will provide up to $575 per child based on family income. Also, parents who qualify can claim an additional $203 on their return for each child age six and under for whom no child care expenses were claimed.
