Time to think about having chimney checked Furnace and chimney inspec- tions should be hot items at this time of year, says Bob Clendining of the Ontario Consumer Ministry. "Don't wait until it's time to turn the furnace back on," says Clendining, a fuels safety expert. "Home-heating systems nced to be thoroughly checked at least once a year. People can be seri- ously hurt - even killed - if some- thing goes wrong. Now's the time to protect yourself." Possible problems include blockage of the chimney and cor- rosion or deterioration inside the furnace. Qualified home-heating con- tractors can check for potential hazards caused by malfunctioning: furnaces and inadcquate fresh air supplies, Clendining says. "In some circumstanccs, re me ee a ee oil-fired heating equipment can cause poisonous carbon monox- ide gas to be released into the house," he says. Carbon monoxide is a clear, colorless, odorless. gas. Symptoms of poisoning include. , nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. In large. doses, it can kill, If it is suspected members of a household have been exposed to carbon monoxide in the past, tcll the contractor doing the inspec- tion, Clendining suggests. Be sure to ask for checks of all safety controls on the furnace. Shop around for a reputable company and reasonable rates when arranging the service call, says Marilyn Gurevsky, a con- sumer advisor with the ministry. "Since most people wait till the last minute to call for service, eame cantractare mav he offering bargains right now to attract cus- tomers before the rush starts," she says, "Just be wary of companics soliciting business door-to-door who push for an immediate deci- sion." Check all credentials carefully and don't hire a heating contractor not certified by the Ontario gov- emment. Additional information about home heating systems is available from many fuel suppliers.

The program to help develop municipal waterfronts will boost tourism, stimulate commercial development and increase eco- nomic activity throughout the province, Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation Hugh P. O'Neil has announced. The $30 million Community Waterfront Program is directed at Ontario municipalities with popu- lations of 50,000 or less for the development of lake or river front projects which benefit tourism and recreation. "The program will stimulate residential and commercial devel- opment, leading to major improvements in local economics and significant job creation," O'Neil said. "Well planned waterfronts serve as focal points for entire communities, providing superla- tive recreation opportunities." The program will be adminis- tcred by the Ministry over five years. Assistance will be in the form of non-repayable, matching con- tributions. For capital projects, communitics can receive a grant up to one-third the total cost of the project or a maximum of $500,000. For planning and feasibility studics, up. to $50,000, or SO per cent of the total cost, whichever is less, is available. "The new program will strengthen the economies of smaller communities and foster healthier lifestyles for Ontarians," said O'Neil. Getting Married this year? Next year?
