Mike, 'No way he's getting in."' Pete, 'Good going, that fixed him, he'll be an hour getting into line now."' Joanne, "Where are those guys who were so willing to take our money earlier tonight?" Nancy, 'Look, that truck is going over the curb," etc. ete. etc. The conversation went on, like I said earlier for about 45 minutes, but when we finally got out onto Lakeshore Blvd., it was all forgotten quickly. We capped the evening off with a large pizza smothered with pepperoni, onions, mushrooms and bacon at a favourite Pizza Nova restaurant at Lawrence and Kennedy before making our way back to Port. It was a great evening, with some great friends and I look forward to doing it again sometime, but next time I'll drive and find the parking spot.

Mr. Brown said once the 22 additional long term care beds are added, it will free up some beds for active care patients. He said the hospital did not request ad- ditional active care beds as there is not a need for them at the present time. Mr. Brown told the Star the addi- tion of 22 chronic care beds is a step towards a long range goal for the hospital to some day get into pro- viding nursing home beds and/or retirement accommodation for senior citizens. But he stressed that this would never be at the expénse of the - hospital's role as an active treat- ment facility. The other hospitals in Durham which will benefit from the Health CARPENTRY SERVICES Chronic beds for hospital Minicter's announcement last week include Ajax-Pickering which will get 70 chronic and 45 acute care beds; Bowmanville which will get 15 chronic care beds; Oshawa Genera) which will receive 58 chronic and 6 acute care beds; and Whitby General which was allocated 3g chronic care bed.

Instead, from here on in, maybe they'll just be happy to play the game for the pure enjoyment and peace that comes out on that field with the wind blowing under their baseball caps, across their | foreheads. Ah, the sheer joy of stepping up to home plate, turning | away and spitting out that rich and tantalizing tobacco juice. Maybe it is a new age. Peace love groovy baby. It'll be the Yankees in last place at the end of the season with smiles as big as a ball diamond. When Don Mattingly runs, it won't be in a straight line to first, it'll be a creative zig-zag designed to illustrate his love of the game and life. Maybe he'll even shoot pink and blue powder, out of his shoes, turning the diamond into a gigantic colourful mural that will inspire the fans. Fill every heart in the stadium with joy that goes wafting out into the night air, all through New York city, New York state ..... the world! I can't wait to see it. Hakmonic convergence may just change the world after all. 2 MW AR } Sponsored by Durham East PC Association Parking tickets. Why you can no onger get away without pay' out paying. Sorry, but you had better think twice about filing those slips of paper in your glove compartment. Because new legislation means that either you pay the fine, request a trial if you wish to dispute the alleged infraction or your vehicle permit and license sticker will not be renewed. You decide which option. It's that simple. Should you receive a parking ticket, the ticket itself will tell you if the munici- pality issuing the ticket is using the new legislation and what your options are. All muni- cipalities will be using the new legislation by 1989. Va For more information contact Communications Branch Ministry of the Attorney General 18 King Street East. Sth floor Toronto.
