30 - Wednesday, July 4, 1990 - North Shore News LIFESTYLES Burner ideas went to the top YOU’LL PERHAPS remember a few months ago when I finally replaced my decrepit kitchen appliances (oven and burners) with two new Hotpoint models. I was so thrilled with the change that I wrote a column on the subject. In the column, | mentioned two modifications that I would love to sce — the controfled heat burners moved to the rear and some sort of warming plate provided to cover both so that I could stack a number of pots back there to keep hot for a short time. Imagine my surprise when | teceived a phone call from the B.C. Hotpoint distributors. It’s a mystery to me kow they received the column but the interesting news is that my suggestions are headed for the head office engincers (back east, of course) for evaluation. It’s possible that it may lead to modifications. What’s really fun is that our paper can have that much travel- ling ability. ere Flea season is quickly ap- proaching and | always dread it.

Bake at 350°F, about 45 minutes or until chicken tests done in the thickest part of the thigh. That recipe is a great favorite with anyone who loves sweet sauces — those who order stuff like Gold Coin Beef and Sweet and Sour Ribs when they eat Chinese. I have to confess — I sneak my chicken leg under the tap to get rid of the stuff. My kids say I’m “weird.” Laws need changing From page 29 son being declared ‘incompetent’ is often not even consulted. Says Barbara Lindsay, project researcher, ‘‘there’s no other choice. There’s guardianship or not. There is a plenary nature to this system which is inappropriate in this age of self-determination. There should be a letter of recourse to get rid of the certifica- tion if it is judged unfair."" Lindsay believes that certifica- tion should be only a final resort for a person whose certification is beyond question. While the guardianship project works in the legal arena to in- crease guardian accountability and emphasis the basic human rights of the elderly and infirm, CPEAN continues its grassroots efforts to stop all forms of elder abuse, physical, psychological, financial, and neglect.
