Local families have main- tained three sheets for shaky be- ginners, those more practised on their blades and a never-ending roster of shinny players. Although the boards at the Mutchmor rink went up in De- cember, there was no ice surface until Jan. 4, due to the mild weather over the holidays. There was pretty good ice at the Glendale rink by Jan. 6, thanlcs to the Rink Rats, a well- organized team of local families who shovel the snow and flood the surface under the lights. VVhat about the world's longest skating rink that passes through the Glebe? It was still not ready by Jan. 8, although the official opening was planned for Jan. 11.

There is docu- mented evidence that building more and wider roadworks in the cities doesn't ease traffic con- gestion; rather it encourages more motorists to join in. Furthermore, there continues to be a growing consensus that global warming is occurring as a product of burning fossil fuels, mostly petroleum products.
