«finished wy 28 -- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, July 11, 1995 Have ticket will travel to sunny Cuba by Bob Gutteridge This past month I had the opportunity to visit Cuba on a tour sponsored by Delta Hotels and resorts. The purpose was to give both wholesalers and retailers a chance to see three of the five resorts that Delta has in Cuba. Since the other agents in our office have not been to Cuba recently, the visit allowed us to update our information on this Gin Rummy wins again For the second straight week, Gin Rummy was dealt a winning hand in the Finlandia Vodka Pacing Series for Fillies & Mares at Kawartha Downs. Trainer/driver Ted McDonald chose the front end route again and left little doubt that his' charge, Gin Rummy, was the best of her division. The four- year-old 'daughter of Coal Harbor - Nancy Rocket posted a two and a half length victory in 1:59. McDonald, of Cloyne, also shares ownership in the mare with Julie.Ferguson and' Carl Cox of Belleville. Gin Rummy has now won seven of 10 this year. She's the money leader in the Finlandia Vodka Series. In that first division, Jatebird second for John Simmonds of North York while Drive On Daisy was third for Sandra and Mike Smith of Cobourg and Newcastle partner, Steve Whyte. Division two of leg two was won by Fleetwood Virginia in convincing fashion as well. The four-year-old daughter of Kawartha Skipper was two lengths the best in a 2:01.2 trip for Bethany owner/driver Bruce Shea. Shea's son Michael handles the training. Fleetwood Virginia grabbed second spot on the money board after two legs of the event. The top eight, after next week's action, go to the $6,300 final slated for July 22. Finishing second to Fleetwood Virginia was Moon Harbor for Keswick , owner Deborah Camacho and trainer/driver Don Lowe. Hillcrest Dot was third for MIllbrook owner/trainer Ray Lowery. During the same card, Shadys K S posted lifetime victory number 51 for Peterborough owner Mel McKee when the veteran pacer won in 1:59 for trainer George Hunt 'and driver Doug Hie. On Thursday night, Fraserville reinsman Jerry Robinson got off to a hot start. He won with his first three drives. The opener went to Zig It for Peterborough owner/trainer Bruce Bothwell. Number two was won by Jeffschance for Peterborough owner Fred Mills and trainer Barry Heard. Last of the winning streak for Robinson was behind C Cor Tamgo. The trotting filly is now undefeated in three lifetime -starts for owner/trainer Bob Havery of Brooklin and Port Perry partner, PVC Management. In Indiana on Saturday night (July 8), Peter Heffering of Port 'Perry and his New Jersey partners were celebrating when their Pacific Rocket breezed to a 1:60 victory in the Dan Patch Invitational. Bowmanville's Tony Kerwood drove him. Orono's Paul MacDonell finished second in that race with Village Jiffy.

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean with ten million people. Although sugar, coffee, tobacco, tropical fruits, fish and nickel are the backbone of the Cuban economy, tourism is expected to become a major source of hard currency. With the American boycott of Cuba, hotel chains from outside the US are teaming up with the Cuban Government to open hotels and resorts which are economically priced for the Canadian traveller. . Upon our arrival at Santiago de Cuba we were bused to the Delta Balneario Del Sol club resort for lunch. Suited to those who want a quiet stay with few steps in a lovely setting where you sit by the pool or lie on ,numerous lounges along a picturesque sea wall. On to Delta Sierra Mar club resort to check in, have dinner and enjoy the show and other activities around the hotel. This resort is terraced up the mountain side with a beach, a pool with swim-up bar and an international scuba diving centre. The banquet dinner had a good variety of dishes including fish and chicken, many salads and ¢old meats and cheeses. To the detriment of my diet I tried three of the six desserts. It was worth it! Next day we returned to Santiago.de Cuba airport where we flew to Holguin, a twenty minute flight. After our bus trip, we arrived at our final hotel, the Delta Las Brisas Club resort. Although the resort has been open for a year; we were there for the official opening with all the press, Delta Hotel officials and Cuban officials. Throughout : our tour I found the Cuban people to be extremely warm and friendly and very helpful. Ilike the Las Brisas the best (it is a five star resort in Cuba), it to Cuba. had the best beach, a large pool , with swim-up bar, water sports, three different places to eat, a store, and four bars; one with a grill as well as a disco great for the younger crowd and young famflies. Both Seirra Mar and Las Brisas have Kids Kamp for children 2-11 between the hours of '8am and 8pm, a great feature for families. It also. has babysitting for later. These three All-Inclusive resorts offer Delta quality hotels for very reasonable rates. Dollar for dollar, these resorts are an excellent value. The dry season is between November and April so start thinking now. The large , resorts seemed very spacious with interesting stairs and landings throughout the property. Elevators enabled easy access from the lobby to the rooms. ! Electric current is 220 in the hotels so bring a converter. Tips -are divided between all staff so gifts to show appreciation to particular staff need to be packed with you (eg. toothpaste, bars of soap). Be prepared for a long wait at the airport both coming and going as well as being made to feel uncomfortable by officials in uniforms since 'it still is a communist country. This was the only negative. For Canadian citizens, a valid passport is mandatory for travel (Applications and instant passport photos are available at the office). For a great all-inclusive holiday.at a reasonably low price you should consider Cuba and Delta Hotels and Resorts; and you will not be disappointed. Brochures for the upcoming winter season will arrive in office approximately late August. (Bob Gutteridge is a travel consultant with Marlin Travel, Queen St. Port Perry). : Fine music at concerts in Park The Golden Slippers put on their usual splendid performance on July 2nd. The second concert on July 9th, was by The Kawartha Big Band, which continues to pay our favourite golden oldies, with the Glen Millar Sound. Don't miss July 16th! Ron Korb and Raymond Hickey (flute and guitar) will be doing an extraordinary concert featuring many of their own compositions. These lads are ameng Canada's top recording instrumentalists. Ron Korb plays a variety of flutes - Chinese, American Indian, Irish, and silver concert flutes. He is without doubt one 8f Canada's leading flute soloists. Ron is most ably assisted by Ray Hickey, who plays a variety of guitars and other stringed instruments. He features an unusual Japanese instrument called a Koto. The effect is amazingly different and exhilarating. (Something you don't have a chance to hear often enough.) We are pleased to present these two fine Canadian musicians. Along with Ron and Ray we will have The Swing Tyme Melodies, playing more of your old favourite Dixieland tunes and some of the lovely melodies of yesterday which we just don't have a chance to hear anymore. That is 7pm in Palmer Park, Port Perry, Sunday July 16th. See you there. 'Buying or Selling Citizen Classifieds Get Results 54 Water Street; Port Perry 985-6397 Open Saturdays 9 a.m. -1p.m.
