B - Oron. W~kt~ TIm.s~ W.dn.sday~ Msroh Z 1994 Fabio! You know Uic guy I amn talking about. He graces the cover of every novel that you happen to glance as you rush through thc bookstore to the "Books with Substance" section. The guy wiUi the exercise tape, the fragrance, the marketing hounds of beIl The guy who somehow managed to score a HUGE publishing contract, despite a lack of any noticeable literary talent, other than thc ability to string together a sentence froni monosyllabic words (not an easy féat). And wbat sbould we sec on thc cover of bis novels (l use thc terni loosely) -- why none other than Pabio himself, with flaxen haired damsel ini distress crusbed against bis oversized cbest, in wbat bas become the classic, cbeesy, written-in-an-hour-novel,, paper- back pose. The guy with heavens ideal of the steroid induced pectorals, over-sizcd craniuni, and Rapunzel locks. Is this guy getting WAAAAAY to mucb exposure? Yeah. In my humble opinion.... defmitely. CETO News had Fabio as thc topic of their Talkback Toronto phone-in polî on Friday. The question -.Is Fabio sexy?". 1 didn't stick around to sec the results. My stomach probably wouldn't bave been able to handle it. Remember the days whcn it took a real man like Rlictt Butler to make women swoon? Oh that cad! It was Bogie that made womcn beg, "Please Sam! Do play it again." Just a look, a clever retort, this is what used to set the men apart from Uic boys. Women would watch Jimmy Dean light up iliat cigarette. They wouldn't sniff and mutter "Lung Cancer" as thcy turned away. Tbey would revel in thc way bis eyes squintcd just so as lie struck that match and Uic flame would dance in bis eyes. Ah yeab. Men were men. And today they are..(sigli) Fabio. The sad part of this story is, I missed out on it ail. I wasn't even a twinkle in Uic eye when these mca graced Uic silver screen. It isn't that 1 would want to be thrust back in tume and land in the thirties. (I Uink it's the dresses istead of LePvi's order of Uic day tliat turns me off.) Aaaab, but what I wouldn't do to trade in the Fabio's of this world for a cad like Rliett Butler.

Aromatherapy is the use of organic essences obtained from plants and made into essential oils. The knowledge of aromatics has developed gradually since 3500 BC. The Egyptians burned gums and resins such as Frankincense to clear tbe mind. The Romans used essential oils for massage. During the l7th centu ry the English made pomanders made of oranges and cloves to ward off the 'Black Death. The discipline behind the use of essential oils is that they affect your sense of smell, touch and even the way you think and feel. Natural essential oils used in aromatherapy can be used in many ways through: inhalation, massage, in bathwater, as a compress and some can be taken internally. The oils work by pcnetrat ing the skin (epidermis) to reacb the small blood vessels (capiflaries) located i the dermis which is the layer just below the skin. Once die oil has reached the capillaries it can then be carried by the blood throughout the body giving us their healing properties w hile at the same time Auctioneers holding competition The 8th'Annual Auctioncers Association of Ontario Convention and Competition is being hicld this year at the Holiday Inn i Oshawa.
