ering a consistent high quati-
ty dining: experience. Over
two decades that’s not easy.

Its wine cellar, for exam-

“ple, is legend with local
oondlogists —~ one of the
“deepest for high-end Italian
bottles in the Lower
Mainland.

its menu wisely doesn’t
try to deo too much.

Chet Greg Shier, who has
been with Faedo for approxi-
mately five vears, offers a sin-
gle sheer selection with
entrees (S12 to $27) evenly
split between Pasta and Piatti
Forti.

In the former you'll tind
such simple combinations as
linguine with clams and
cream sauce, spaghetti with
fresh tomato, basil and garlic

and penne with Italian
sausage and tomato sauce.

In the latter: more ambi-
tion, but nothing too fussy.
Some good veal dishes. The
classic Sealoppine Al Limone
with butter and lemon;
another with marsala wine
sauce; sti another featuring

"a grilled veal chop served in
a port sauce with lemon and

~ fresh rosernary.

As was Shier’s house spe-
cial salad. It was built around

milk and is wonderfully
creamy with subtly fragrant
flavours. The mozzarella was

The law requires that firearm owners be licensed
by january 1, 2001.

1.7 million Canadians have already complied with the licensing .
requirements of the Firearms Act.

And recently, Canadians have sent in their firearms licence
applications in record numbers. To meet this overwhelming
demand, temporary licences are now being issued to SNatbte
firearm owners.

Public safety remains the cornerstone of the firearms program.
For example, temporary licences ave only being issued
to those who zre successfully screened against Canadian
Police Information Centre (CP!C) databases. And, like current .
licence holders, those with temporary firearms licences will:
be continuously screened against police databases.
Firearms licences will be issued only to those found eligible —
after further screening.

These public safety checks conform to the Firearms Act and keep -
firearms away from these whe should not have them.

Temporary licences will be issued to eligible firearm owners who applied in the
fall. Temporary licence holders are not permitted to acquire firearms. However, .
they will be in legal possession of their firearms and.they will be able to purchase’.
ammunition as of January 1, 2001. Temporary licences:
_are only valid until june 30, 2001 or until those
eligible receive their 5- year licence. : ;
