BC SUNDAY DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE, MAY 25. 1986 tion." Then invite them to your home and demonstrate how stimulating an evening of conversation can he. Dear Ann Landers: Recently, in a hospital, I saw a horribly disfigured child being pushed on a table by a all marriages end in divorce. And, "75 percent of those people getting married this year will be divorced 80 percent if they are under 21 or high school dropouts." Ruben, the chairman of the American Psychiatric Association, says people are less committed to marriage today than they were a generation ago, when couples stayed in marriages that today would have ended after a few years. But although divorce is now commonplace, Ruben says: "In a good marriage, you never, ever talk about divorce.

It doesnt enter the equation. You don't see divorce as an option." A psychiatrist for the last 18 years with a postgraduate degree from Harvard University, Ruben says he is successful in keeping couples together 50 percent of the time. "Half the time I can salvage the marriage," Ruben says. IN RESPONSE to his 3-year-old radio show, broadcast from New York's Rock-feller Center, Ruben says he receives 30,000 pieces of mail each week on the subject of relationships. Of the 3,000 callers each year, 55 percent call about relationships, 20 percent have anxiety problems, 20 percent have a "potpourri" of problems and 5 percent call about depression.

From his contact with couples, Ruben says, he has identified five crisis areas in marriages that cannot be avoided but can be dealt with effectively: family and friends, career and finances, sexual fulfillment, parenthood, and illness and change. Radio psychiatrist and author wages a war on divorce Deas Tnes Herald Dr. Harvey Ruben, radio psychiatrist and author, decrees "I am out to wage war against divorce." Ruben, whose national radio show is heard every Saturday and Sunday evening by 4 million to 5 million listeners, professes to do to the divorce rate what microwave ovens have done to cooking time. "I feel I can cut the divorce rate in boasts Ruben. His latest book is Supermarriage, Overcoming the Predictable Crises of Married Life.

Ruben says he can also "expand the rate of super-marriages to 20 or 30 percent of (all) marriages. RUBEN SAYS a supermarriage occurs with one out of 10 couples. It is not "between a Superman and a Superwoman or two people wearing blue tights and red capes," Ruben says, but a partnership Msed on successfully negotiating the phases of a relationship, and coming out with successful coping skills. ,11 "Supermarriage is a process, not a destination," sa Ruben. "It is about not tabling the issues, but working through A solid marriage is based on two people who are relatively whole." But according to Ruben, 50 percent of over because the local governments claim they don't have adequate funds to do the job.

Yet in Norfolk they are spending $25,000 of the taxpayers' money to give psychiatric care to a couple of chimps. Is this nutty or am I crazy? Observer on the Potomac. Dear Pot: The chimpanzee is the most intelligent of all animals, but whether crazed chimps can be helped by psychotherapy I do not know. It does seem to me, however, that, considering the federal budget cuts for mental health, the city of Norfolk has gone a little ape. Dear Ann Landers: As you know, VCRs have become the latest thing in home entertainment Will you please put the word out to all people who own VCRs that not everyone enjoys sitting around watching movies in someone else's living room? Twice we have been invited to dinner.

When the meal was over the host popped in the videocassette. We do not enjoy seeing and hearing people kill each other, have sex or use vulgar language. My husband and I are the last of a vanishing breed. We enjoy intelligent conversation. How can we protect ourselves against being subjected to movies in which we have no interest? K.I, Brooklyn Dear Brook: Ask in advance.

By now you know who is likely to inflict a flick on you. If you have no interest in the film simply say, "May we have a rain check? We prefer old-fashioned conversa- nun LANDERS Psychiatric care for crazed chimps goes 'a little ape' Dear Ann Landers: Are the people in Norfolk, Va crazier than folks in other places or is this an isolated incident? I am enclosing an Associated Press story that blew my mind. The director of the nation's main rehabilitation center for primates praised the City Council for spending $25,000 on psychiatric care for two crazed chimpanzees in the city zoo. "It is an incredible step forward a wonderful precedent," said Wallace Swett, director of Primarily Primates Inc. in San Antonio, Texas.

Chuck and Judy, the two disturbed chimpanzees from the Virginia Zoological Park in Norfolk, will be placed at the center in a couple of months, said Gary Ochsenbein, zoo superintendent The City Council voted to pay half of the $50,000 cost of rehabilitating the chimps. It is no secret that thousands of homeless are living on the streets. Many of these people are mentally ill Soup kitchens have been set up in churches across the country to feed these unfortunate folks. In many cities, service agencies have taken nurse. I said, "116110," but was at a loss as to what to say next What does one say under such circumstances? E.M.

(Indiana) Dear ELM- Disfigured and handicapped people should be treated exactly the same as others. To the child in the hospital you might have asked, "How are you today? Will you be going home soon?" Many disfigured people are bright and interesting. They may also be terribly lonely and eager for acceptance. Don't pass up an opportunity to brighten their day. Send your questions to Ann Landers P.O.

The task of building an amusement park is never complete. New attractions are added, old ones replaced. After a winter of planning and construction, the local parks are ready to open again for sum-tner, and some are brimming with new attractions. Let's see what awaits: Sea Breeze Park On June 8, Sea Breeze plans to open "the first portion of its new water park complex. It is a major expansion of the park onto vacant land previously toured by the park's train.

Sea Breeze, one of the nation's most -beautifully maintained traditional amuse- ment parks, has experienced 10 consecu- tive years of unprecedented growth. The introduction of the water park is expect-" ed to maintain that trend. i From the top of a 50-foot steel tower, bathers may choose from two twisted fi-9 eerglass waterslides totaling 827 feet in length, or a unique 250-foot speed slide. Those who elect the straight slide will reach speeds of 35 mph as they plummet down the first drop and experience weightlessness coming off the second drop. They then skim along the water to gradual stop in the heated chute.

new water park complex also will include changing rooms, refreshment and "merchandise outlets, and an admissions building. Future development plans call for a white-water tube race and a water activity area for preschoolers. Lake You'll find new summer fun at Darien Lake this year, too. The $72 million family entertainment center in Genesee County, which includes I'a theme park, seven stocked lakes and a beach, spent more than $1 million last 'year on park beautification. Besides the park's more than 35 adult and a growing number of children's prides, visitors will find five new shows for 1986.

Be sure to see The Best of Times, powered coaster-style ride, is also in the midway. An all-new musical revue, Sunshine Express, debuts in the Coke Theater, featuring music from the 1940s through the 70s. Another new ride, the Magic Ring, will be found in Fantasyland. Fantasy Island has five themed areas. The newest, Water World, was built last year.

It includes Kid Wash, an outrageous car wash intended for children; a Water Garden, consisting of water-play elements originally used at the New Orleans World's Fair; Splash 'n' Bash bumper boats, and the Raging Rapids water slides. Bathing suits are in order here. Marineland The newest addition you will discover at Marineland this summer is Hot Air Fantasy, located in the park's aquarium building. It's a unique show consisting of a host of animated, singing characters, most of which are suspended in hot-air balloons high above the aquarium pool. Each group of characters, including animals such as skunks, toucans and pandas, hails from a different part of the world and has its own special story to share.

Hot Air fantasy competes with the marine show as the most popular attraction at Marineland. Introduced last summer at the marine show, the stage of the aqua theater has been redesigned in keeping with the park's medieval theme and christened King Waldorfs Theater, after the Marineland character who reigns over the amazing performances of the killer whales, dolphins and sea lions. Marineland's evolution into a theme park began in 1981. Under the direction of owner John Holer, two man-made mountains were constructed. The next year a new deer park was built.

In 1983 the first phase of Holer's four-phase expansion plan was completed with the addition, on one of the mountains, of Dragon Mountain, the world's largest steel roller coaster. A fish-feeding lake and bear-feeding observation area were added in 1984. Two hundred acres of Marineland's property will be open this season; 1,000 acres more is available for future expansion. According to Holer, the park's second mountain eventually will be topped by a castle. Many new rides will be added, and a medieval theme will continue to dominate.

an upbeat musical revue featuring melodies from the swing era to today, in the Jubilee Theater. Boppin', a musical salute staged in the '508 Bandstand, encourages audience participation that everyone will enjoy. Abra-Ca-Dazzle, a program of magic illusion, will amaze you. It shares the midway stage with How the West Was Cleaned, a puppet show that youngsters will find fascinating. You also will find different taste treats galore along the Darien Lake midway.

Try one or more of the park's new funnel cakes, cream-puff sundaes and creamed eclairs. You can follow those up with a marinated vegetable cup or wash it all down with a cherry cola. Then, risk it all on the Pirate, the Ranger or the Crazy Quilt, all tummy-turners deluxe. Crystal Beach For the first time in memory, Crystal Beach, eight miles west of Buffalo, will open seven days a week. Even more exciting, however, is the prospect of riding a third roller coaster at the Lake Erie retreat The Galaxie, a high-speed steel coaster, has been installed next to the Ballroom where the Swing-Around was located last season.

A new playground has been built in the kiddieland area, part of a two-year expansion in that section of the park. Play elements include a net climb, slides, tire swings and a ball crawl. You also will encounter a new international food fair, featuring taste treats from around the world. In December, Crystal Beach announced a three-phase, $7 million renovation program for the park. The three-phase project will include a new marina, a restaurant atop the existing pier done as a replica of the Canadiana passenger boat, and the already implemented international food fair.

By 1988 there also will be a marina. More than $1 million has been earmarked this year for repaying, painting and landscaping. Fantasy Island At Fantasy Island, the Old Mill Scream, a log flume, is part of this year's $3.5 million expansion. This is the fourth consecutive year of growth for the Grand Island park as it broadens its appeal to include all age groups. The $2 million Old Mill Scream, visible from the Thruway, is in Fantasy Island's midway.

The new Dragon, an electric- Canada's Wonderland Now in its sixth season, Canada's Wonderland has unveiled Thunder Run, a $2.2 million ride inside Wonder Mountain. This new attraction is the first major step in the development of the mountain, the $2.5 million structure forming the park's focal point A 38-passenger train traveling over more than 1,000 feet of steel track whisks you along the northern outer part of the mountain at heights of up to 36 feet above the ground. You then take an adventure trip into the mountain's cavernous depths. Once inside, the train plunges deep into the abyss on its two-minute journey toward the center of the mountain. Thunder Run is the latest in a series of attractions added since the park opened.

When the SkyRider was built last year, it became not only the fifth in the park's formidable medley of roller coasters but also the most bizarre. SkyRider has no seats. You stand through the entire ride, which includes a vertical loop and a 540-degree spiral that sends you speeding virtually parallel to the ground. Canada's Wonderland also boasts the region's only raft ride, White Water Canyon. There's nothing subtle about this attraction; expect to get soaked.

Maple Leaf Village With its towering Ferris wheel affording riders a high-flying view of the falls, Maple Leaf Village attracts many visitors to Niagara. It's part of the excitement along Clifton Hill, the brightly lit strip that local residents dismiss as a tourist trap. Nevertheless, it offers a densely packed collection of nine high-energy adult rides plus seven kiddie rides that shouldn't be overlooked. If the Maple Leaf Village complex has a theme, it is the atmosphere found in the three-story assortment of ever -changing stores and restaurants. While there, don't miss Nightmares, a sensational walk-through attraction, on the village's lower level.

This is an intense, startling attraction. If you don't chicken out, the "therapy session" takes about 13 minutes, after which you are awarded a "sanity certificate" for your trouble. Not recommended for claustrophobics, but loads of fun.
