Coll 863-3441 Member National Restaurant Association 1988 PEKING DUCK HOUSE Restaurant AWAKEN TO THE PLEASURE OF BREAKFAST WITHOUT DISHES TO WASH! PLEASE POP DOWN AND HAVE A TREAT at the inimitable Mandarin, Siechuan Hnnan Cuisine HOUSE SPECIALITIES: PEKING DUCK Fridays from 3:30 to 9 p.m., Saturdays and holidays from 1 to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 8 p.m. The rinks were flooded a few weeks ago and will remain open until Feb. 21, weather and ice conditions permitting, according to Whalen, who has watched thousands of rinks flooded in his 10 years with the Parks Department. "We like to think it's a science," Whalen said.

First the staff lays planks and sandbags to define the rink area, which is often a playground or basketball court. Once the temperature is in the mid-teens or lower, the ice is made by spraying water, allowing it to freeze and repeating the process. Unless sheets of ice are built up gradually, the top of the ice will freeze over before the water underneath it and create messy "shell ice." Once the rinks are frozen, they are groomed with a resurfacing machine that sprays warm water into the cracks and levels the surface with a burlap drag. If Old Man Weather defies the National Weather Service and continues to breathe warm air this weekend, there is always indoor skating at the Gordon H. Paquette Municipal Arena at Leddy Park.

Skate rentals are available for $2, or free to children 5 and under. Hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on the smaller "studio rink." Admission is $1 for adults, 50 cents for students, free to senior citizens. The Olympic-size rink is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and Sundays from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Admission is $1.50 for adults ($1.25 for Burlington residents), $1 for students 17 and under (75 cents for Burlington residents.) Senior citizens and children under 5 are admitted free to both rinks. Many Vermonters enjoyed skating inside the breakwater near Perkins Pier last winter, but that part of the lake is not frozen. It is likely to freeze in the next month, and if ice conditions are good the city will maintain a rink there again. By Molly Walsh Free Press Staff Writer The calendar says it's time to lace up the skates and speed across the ice, but this week's thaw left more puddles than ice in Burlington. "Mother nature is not cooperating too well with us this year," said Bob Whalen, Burlington Department of Parks and Recreation operations manager.

He oversees the city's six public rinks, which were closed this week because of warm weather. They might be open by the weekend. "We are still on a wait-and-see basis. The weather report is that it is supposed to turn colder," Whalen said. "We are hopeful that they (the rinks) will be back on line by the weekend." The weekend forecast is for snow Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the 20s, lows 5 to 15 degrees on Saturday and in the teens Sunday.

The biggest rink of them all Lake Champlain is not frozen in the larger bays, but some skaters and ice sailers skimmed over smooth ice on the smaller bays last weekend. The ice on Malletts Bay was "absolutely gorgeous the best it's been in five or six years," according to Georgene Raub of Colchester. Her family and 50 other skaters did cross-overs, spins and hockey stops on a plate of smooth ice. But by Wednesday the ice conditions on Malletts Bay were nothing to rave about. "The snow has covered it and the freezing rain has goofed it up.

It is kind of bumpy," Raub said. For those who want to test their blades this weekend on maintained ice (weather permitting), the city's outdoor rinks are at Lakeside, South, Smalley and Roosevelt parks as well as the Flynn Elementary and Hunt Middle Schools. Most of the rinks are lighted until 9 p.m. and those at South and Roosevelt parks offer supervised skating with a warming area and restrooms. Hours for the supervised rinks are: Monday to Thursday from 3:30 to 8 p.m., PEKING RAVIOLI SZECHUAN LAMB CRISP FISH FILET CRISPY SHRIMP GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE Diner Vie use vegetable oil We cook without MSG!
