( ., Castlégar News November 23, 1988 Newlyweds like Hot springs November 23, 19868 cs E’VE DONE IT AGAIN Througha 1, ite allotment from General Motors of Canada HARRISON HOT SPRINGS (CP) — The newlyweds step out of the steamy mineral waters and gaze into each other's eyes. Marlene Campbell affectionately towels beads of sweat from husband Joseph's face, as the couple describe their Harrison Lake cruise that day — on the aptly named. Cloud Nine — and dinner and slow dancing the evening before Marlene, 57, the director of a seniors’ centre in Seattle, has been coming to this mountain resort for 20 years for “‘the scenery and the hot springs and the peaceful quiet." Joseph, 58 and now retired, adds that “‘I've been hearing about it and dreaming about coming up.”” Honeymooners as well as older couples — the Campbells happen to be both — have been the mainstay at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel, 150 kilometres east of Vancouver. But in the fitness-conscious ‘80s, health Spa resorts have become big business, and the hotel wants to cash in on the trend A four-year, $50-million expansion begins this fall to turn the aging facility into a luxury super-spa with almost 400 rooms. *We have the mud. It has to be a certain consistency ...' The hotel has every intention of keeping its faithful clientele, but officials make no bones about wanting to embrace that most maligned group of 1980s consumers, young urban professionals, as well as increasing its conference business and its appeal to Japanese travellers. “We want to become a total destination resort, says Jerry Hadway, the hotel's executive assistant manager The Harrison hotel expansion is one of the most ambitious Canadian ventures into the health spa business. North of Toronto, a $38-million resort designed by architect Arthur Erickson is under construction and a $6.S-million spa featuring sea water treatments is planned for Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. At 100 Mile House, 280 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, the Hills Health and Guest Ranch offers weight loss programs in a cowpoke atmosphere. The Harrison hotel's new facilities ‘‘will challenge those fat-farm weeks in California,"’ Hadway says with confidence, referring to such upscale health resorts as LaCosta and Costa del Sol. A Japanese firm, Itoman Canada Inc., purchased the hotel last year from a local family for an undisclosed sum, although $20 million was the asking price The new Japanese owners brought their own ideas: shiats® massage, dietitians, sushi in a new Japanese restaurant, Japanese gardens, squash and racquetball, and an 18-hole championship golf course. There will also be honeymoon cottages with jacuzzis and outdoor hot pools built into the hillside. And if that's not enough, there are mud baths. ‘*We have the mud,"’ says Hadway. ‘‘It has to be a certain consistency." The special muck to be plastered on willing bodies is found right next to the hot springs, where the 50-degree C waters are piped to the hotel and to a public pool and then cooled. FELL INTO LAKE The springs were discovered in 1859 when a gold prospector fell into glacial-fed Harrison Lake and, according to legend, cried in amazement, ‘'The water's warm!"" Such exotic pampering as mud packs and herbal wraps may not have been foreseen in the early days of the original hotel, then known as the St. Alice. Starting in 1885, guests arrived every summer after a leisurely trip up the Fraser River from the Vancouver area. The St. Alice burned down in 1920, but the rustic red brick core of its 1926 replacement remains on the original site, surrounded by a motley collection of later additions of various styles There is still a stately, old-world feel to the hotel. The resort, with almost 300 rooms, is on a 280-hectare lakeside site with well-groomed lawns, tennis courts and quiet trails bordered by salmonberry and thimbleberry bushes. COUNTRY DECOR The interior is to be redone with a down-home country flavor featuring work from Indian and other local artists, while designers are still wrestling with both European and Japanese styles for the spa area, says Hadway. Rates from May to September range from $50 to $99 for a double rooms, with special weekend and mid-week packages. The rest of the year, the rates go from $45 to $79. Hadway says he does not expect rates to rise sharply when all the work is finished. As for the hot springs, many people, including Hadway, say the spring water, containing sulphur and potassium, works wonders on such disorders as arthritis and rheumatism. Others are skeptical but agree the warm waters are relaxing. Healing powers or not, Marlene Campbell says she enjoys the water. The Campbells hope the hotel’s expansion won't change their plans to return every year for peace, silence and romance. ‘‘We're here to be alone,’’ Joseph says. CRAFTSMAN . .

Liquid diets prove popular NEW YORK (AP) — Talk-show host Oprah Winfrey's weight loss of 67 pounds has spurred new interest in liquid diets, but experts said Wednesday many people should avoid such diets and nobody should try them without medical supervision. “These were not made for the majority of dieters who want to lose 10 or 15 pounds,” said Mary Lee Chin, spokesman for American Dietetic Association. Winfrey, 34, announced on her show recently that she had lost the weight in four months through a supervised liquid diet program, and that a cheeseburger was the only solid food she had eaten since July 7. Chin said liquid diet programs should be considered only by people who are above their weight by 20 per cent to 30 per cent, or by at least 50 pounds, or whose weight poses a medical risk. A liquid diet should be considered only after conventional diets fail, she said. People should also avoid liquid diets if they're pregnant or have kidney or liver disease, cancer or a recent heart attack, she said. Chin also listed diabetes that re. quires insulin, but Karen Miller Kovach, assistant director of nu trition services at the Cleveland Clinic, said she considered diab- eties potentially eligible after a thorough evaluation. NEEDS HELP Chin and Kovach recommended against simply buying liquid diet products at stores and using them without medical supervision. Liquid diets provide essentially a starvation diet of 800 calories a day or less, and that can cause medical harm unless the symptoms are spotted early, Chin said. For example, such a diet can cause muscle wasting as well as mineral imbalances that can lead to heart malfunctioning, she said. Medical supervision also helps in dealing with side effects of the diets, which can include dizziness, constipation, dry skin, hair loss and intolerance of cold tempera tures, Chin said. In addition, Kovach said, people who follow aliquid diet without supervision may not realize they have such conditions as kidney disease that means they should avoid such diets. People who do the diets on their own tend to regain the weight they lost once they return to solid food, Kovach said. They miss a key component of supervised liquid diet programs, a maintenance pro- gram to teach the person to keep the weight off, she said. Maintenance programs stress the importance of exercise and changing the behaviors that led to the e ccess weight, Chin said. Chin and Kovach said a liquid diet program should include high quality protein and supervision by a doctor. Chin said unless a diet program offers statistics on long-term weight-maintenance, it isn't worth following . Jin ECTORY |_| FULL GOSPEL FELLOWSHIP (A.C.0.P.)
