To be eligible for the first year's rebate, farm property must be us- ed as part of a farming opera- tion with a gross production value of at least $7,000 in 1990. Ramsay's announcement follows an extensive evaluation of the program by a committee com- posed of representatives of the farming community and officials of Ontario's Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Applications and brochures will be mailed to owners of farm pro- perty in mid September 1990. "Barbecue Safety" All across Canada, on porches, back decks, patios and balconies, gas barbecues have become a fix- ture. They are so much a part of the family summer cooking routine, few people stop to con- sider the serious consequences of improper or careless use. Who would imagine that a gas barbecue hose, improperly con- nected, could turn into a treacherous flame thrower? That's exactly what happened last summer to a southern On- tario family. Aside from damag- ing their own home the 'flame thrower' started a fire in the neighbour's home as well. For- tunately, no one was injured. It's 80 easy to prevent this type of accident," says Peter Gravel, the claims adjuster with Well- n Insurance who handled the barbecue 'flame thrower' incident. "Many people leave their gas barbecue exposed to harsh elements during the winter INGREDIENTS UNLIMITED 146 QUEEN STREET -- PORT PERRY -- 985-8807 Grand Op SATURDAY, JULY 7th New owners, Mary and Kathy welcome you to come and experience the Natural Healing Arts.

Gravel points out that a weakness in any part of the equipment could lead to the in- cident described above, or an ex- ploding tank, which unleashes enough force to blow out a wall and cause serious injury. While proper hook-up and maintenance are a must, it's also important to consider where you barbecue. "Positioning your barbecue near a wooden wall or under wooden awnings or eaves is asking for trouble," says Gravel, noting the '"'even a flare-up while cooking can start a serious fire or, at the very least, injure the user." Gravel acknowledges that "during the lazy, hazy days of summer, it's hard to be vigilant - but common sense and care is all it takes. In the long run, reducing accidents like this also pays off by reducing insurance premiums for everyone." Adequate cleaning of your gas barbecue is more important than you may think. Regularly clean the grill and containers that catch drippings and change lava rocks every two years or more. The will prevent the accumulation of grease - reducing the possibility of a grease fire. This month, Candian Consumer - The Radio Edition will devote one of its daily broadcasts to gas barbecue safety tips provided by the Canada Safety Council and sponsored by Wellington In- surance. To avoid burns and in- juries, they remind you to lift the lid of the barbecue before igniting the gas and light the barbecue the moment the gas flow is on. Always turn off the main valve at the tank as well as the heat con- trol valves when finished.
