Leonid Kuchma, flanked by security and with a media rearguard, toured the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, paying close attention to Ontario Hydro's nuclear fuel dry storage containers. The -ti company is selling the storage container technology (at discount rates) to the Ukraine to help prevent tragedies like the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. 'Having the experience of Chernobyl, we should think about ,omorrow and tomorrow is connected with this kind of technology," Kuchma told The Bay News (through an interpreter) dkaing a brief -redia scrum. 'h's quite logical that we use this kind of power plant. If we keep good relations and God is wMing, we'll keep using this technology_" Kuchma, a rocket scientist himself who was elected president of ,he former Soviet republic in July on an economic reform ticket, is on a cash -finding tour of Canada. He's already received nearly $50 :;Mon in economic promises from Prime Minister Jean Chretien in heiping the country make the transition to a market-based economy.

W Province funds cancer centres Pickering -Ajax residents seeking cancer treatments wont have to make the trek to Toronto in the future, after the Ontario government approved $25 million for the Durham Community Cancer Centre in Oshawa. The announcement was part of a $100 -million funding announcement for cancer centres, in the province. 'We are improving the quality of health care by making the right choices for today and the future. And we are putting people back to work," said Premier Bob Rae. The two new community cancer centres will be linked to the Oshawa General Hospital and the Credit Valley Hospital. The London Regional Cancer Centre will be expanded. This means that 3,000 people will receive treatment in their own communities. This will create 780 jobs — 250 new health jobs and 530 construction jobs. The Durham Community Cancer Centre will treat up to 1,200 patients a year and create 100 health care jobs. It will serve a population base of 600,000 and is expected to be completed by 1998. "This is an important day. People will get the best care dose to hone, dose to fannily and friends," said Health Minister Ruth Grier. "And it's a great day for those who worked so hard to make this happen. With this funding, we are taking cancer care and planning into the next century." By using our resources wisely, we are improving our health care system," said Premier Rae. The community cancer centres will cost about $25 million each, and the expansion of the London Regional Cancer Centre is estimated at $14.6 million. Associated hospitals will share up to $35 million in additional funding. The local and regional planning for the community cancer centres involved district health canals and is a first in Ontario. "People told us last year that they wanted to be involved in every step of cancer planning and treatment," said Mrs. Grier. "We have listened and today were taking action." Ukraine president • From Page 1 will be built at Chernobyl and Rivne nuclear stations. It is partly a gift, with financial contributions coming from Hydro and the foreign affairs department in Ottawa. The utility company will earn approximately $6.5 million over the length of the 38 -month project through licensing fees, however. 'Ukraine is getting a deal ... but I see this as a gesture of nuclear safety technology," said Jon Keran, a hydro product manager who admitted Ukrainian nuclear stations aren't up to Canadian standards. "We're not looking at nuclear trade — if there's a payoff I haven't thought of it. This is a reflection of the innovation and the excellence of Ontario Hydro's technology. I think this is a real winner." Ontario Hydro International President Ian London said the container technology program is cost-effident and safe for Ukraine and a job creator for Ontario. 'The project allows Hydro to assist Ukraine in establishing a higher level of protection for the public and environment by improving its methods and equipment used in handling highly radioactive used fuel," he said. 'It will also provide about eight person-years of work for Hydro staff." Kuchma said the deal with Ontario Hydro is the first step in improving — and in some cases, perhaps closing — their nuclear power plants. At the moment we do have problems. We're looking to see your better technology," he said. 'We're well aware it would be impossible to shut (Chernobyl) down now and that is all. But we're aware such units should be shut down." Kuchma, who said he will negotiate with Hydro in the future over other technologies like water purification, said 30 per cent of Ukraine's power comes from atomic stations, leaving his country little choice but keep ageing stations like Chernobyl open. 'What can be done? We have no furncis."

Senior kindergarten will be offered three times per week. The Ministry of Education and Training said it "recognizes the value of restructuring junior kindergarten and kindergarten programs to enhance continuity and to provide a solid foundation for compulsory schooling beginning in Grade 1." The ministry will amend its grant regulations in order that boards of education may receive funding based on full-time equivalents of 0.4 for junior kindergarten pupils and 0.6 for kindergarten pupils. The amendment to the grant formula provides the Durham Board of Education with greater flexibility during the implementation of mandatory junior kindergarten programs. In addition, the board will offer 6 junior kindergarten programs at the Aldon Learning Centre on Burcher Road, Ajax. Junior kindergarten will be a 2 day/full day program. The class size will be limited to 20 students. To be eligible for this program, students must be four years old by Dec. 31. 1994 and live within the board's boundaries.

Paid parking underway at Ajax -Pickering Hospital By Glenn Hendry If you've paid a visit to Ajax - Pickering General Hospital this week, you've paid $2 for the privilege. Paid parking made its debut at the hospital Monday, a program necessitated by a health ministry funding 'adjustment" that, in effect, faced the hospital to budget in revenue from parking for part of its operational expenses. Joe Atkinson, chairman of the hospital board, said the board had little choice in charging for parking, something that is done at most hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area. "This is not a grab for furufs," he told Ajax councillors recently. Business seminars The Durham Home Business Association presents Small Business and Legal Issues seminars on Nov. 9 at 7:30 pm on Snowridge Court, just off Simcoe Road N. in Raglan. "The ministry is now penalizing 'inefficiency' and we will lose funding if we don't charge for parking." Atkinson, who admitted $2 is "a lot of money to many people," said the health ministry has made $200,000 as the guideline for revenue from the two lots each year. The former Ajax regional councillor couldn't say what the board actually expects to generate from parking but Atkinson noted it would be "substantially more" than the cost of running the unmanned lots. The two -dollar charge will cover costs such as snow removal, paving and garbage cleanup. As well, the charge will generate revenue to support hospital services, said hospital president Bruce Cliff. "Government funding does not, and never has, covered the cost of maintaining parking lots," explained Cliff. "We will use the revenue generated from the parking lots to cover the unfunded expenses of maintaining parking." The additional revenue will help support patient care at the hospital, he added. "The majority of hospitals in Ontario charge for parking. Given the financial challenges our hospital faces, I think the public will understand why we must transform an expense into a source of income." The next step is to link the east and west parking lots of the hospital, an issue that came before members of the town's budget advisory committee last week. Hospital spokesman Garth Johns told committee members the board hopes to begin construction immediately, with completion of the link next spring.

We'll be frank about this. When Jean Chretien stepped into the driver's seat for the nation, we had no faith whatsoever in his ability to pull it off. In addition to not being ready or willing to trust the man (or anybody else wanting the job for that matter), we doubted that his policies on debt reduction would ever become fact. "Same old rhetoric," we said. "Short-term pain for long-term gain" was trendy stuff — we'd heard it ad nauseum. We wanted action, not just words. So it's embarrassing to have to come forward now and admit that maybe we were wrong in doubting this guy. Chretien is riding the popularity polls right now, simply because he's doing everything right No doubt he's the same old Chretien, but at the vers least, he seems to be trying. How can we fault the guy at a time like this? Obviously, our times are improving. And happily, the new positive attitude at the top seems to be producing what can only be labelled a "trickle -dour effect" as, locally, staffs in our towns are successfully biting the bullet, too. In Ajax, residents and local businesses are being invited to pitch in and co-operate. What a refreshing air of change! We were delighted to learn of the STAR$ program, initiated in Ajax by chief administrative officer Barry Malmsten. Having staff come up with a minimum of two cost-saving ideas apiece and then throwing it open to the entire community — why, it's absolutely brilliant. Quids, let's cast this guy in bronze before some other town realizes what we have here. No one ever asks the foot soldier how he (or she) can help to win the war, but the troops usually know the score. We seldom speak about the workers who populate our town offices in Ajax and Pickering. It's easy to take these people for granted. But when you come right down to it, political councils come and go; staff remains, often Invisible, getting on with the job. It's about .time someone asked for their opinions — and then followed through with action. _ Although the STAR$ program is confined to Ajax at the moment, we have no doubt that Pickering's town offices will soon :follow suit, as usually happens with a good idea whose time has dome. History will record this period — for :good or bad — as a time of reaction to >reoession. With some positive thinking and ::input, our own local foot soldiers could .enact measures which will benefit us for . mapy years to come, leaving a lasting :impression as to how our communities and -individuals reacted when pushed to the >wall. What a fabulous opportunity for us all! -1 W .'W Its i• �%Clalg Paw WolchM HISTORIC OCCASION: The Village Store in Pickering Village was owned by Isaac and Eunice Wise in the 1890s.

The motion lost f then expected that the other shoe would drop, i.e., that a motion would be purr to the effect that certain source positions shorid be full time. No such motion was brought forward for oorsiderabon. At fast glance the suggestion may seem far-fetched for a town the size of Ajax Ebwever, some atvestgation reveals that a regional councilor would earn in the neighborhood of $17,000 for serving on local council and an additional $20,840 for serving on regional cud. At the regional level, there is an additional $3,120 for dmiring a commnittee. The combined stipend eouid be at the. order of $42,000, one-third of which is a tax free expense allowance which would significantly enhance the effective earning power to an amount which wand be hnl time wages for marry. While no persica accn , other rima qxi benefits swish as a prescription drug plan are available. Perhaps citizens might consider patting the question to those running for the above office: are you prepared to serve full-time to the exclusion of other business or professioal activities; or alternatively, are you willing to entertain a reduction in stipend consistent with the position being a part-time or secondary income?

Cec Turner Pickering = fie Bay News • October 26, 1994 7 Matheson looking for Enrico Pistritto seeks re-election in Ward 3 Pickering return to Pickering council The first regional councillor in Pickering's Ward I wants to be the next one as well. Ken Matheson, a local business owner who served on council from the inception of regional government in 1972 until 1980, has thrown his hat in the ring to challenge incumbent Maurice Brenner - who defeated him three years ago - and current local councillor Doug Wellman in the November 14 municipal election. Matheson, who believes voters will see him as a "credible alternative" on election day, ran for mayor in 1980, losing to Jack Anderson. Matheson said its time for the present council to start behaving themselves, noting the 'constant bickering and lack of decorum" in the council chambers on Monday nights 'must be stopped. It does nothing to enhance Piickenng's image." The former councillor said council needs changes, adding that Pickering `can and must do better." Matheson sees the increasing number of residential developments without the corresponding balance of industry and commercial taxpayers as a major campaign issue this year, as well as increased police services and some action to resolve traffic congestion. Matheson said he will completely fund his own campaign.

McCully believes that his financial background has brought "stability and common sense" and helped the board in alleviating the burden on the Doug Wellman individual local taxpayer while minimizing the effect on the program - McCully will not have signs because of his concern for the environment and will neither solicit nor accept donations. lain McCully 'Wellman Associates Life - Disability - Group insurance - Pension Plans, R.R.S.P.'s 8 Annuities Suite 203,1099 Kingston Rd.

"I want to run again because of the strong positive side of " politics here in Pickering," said Pistritto. "We have an excellent community where people work together and I want to continue to be a part of that." He cited council's zero tax increases and the preservation of Piickering's Waal lands as the proof that "positive" politics produces results. "Positive politics is about listening to one another and negotiating so we all win., it is not power plays and parochialism that create winners and losers," Pistritto explained He emphasized that no single politician can promise more jobs, less garbage or no tax increases. But he promised to listen to residents' concerns.

"I feel very strongly that real change is needed in Ajax and that there is a serious lack of vision being exhibited by some members of council," he said. "Case in point, for many years we have been told by these members that the intersection of Harwood and Kingston Roads would be the future city centre. Instead we have strip malls, coffee shops and fast food outlets being built. These plans were supported by many members of council. Again it appears that the council has caved in to the demands of developers to the detriment of us all." The seven-year resident, who works for Oshawa Liberal MP Ivan Grose, believes Ajax must take strong steps to preserve its natural beauty. "The maintenance and improvement of our waterfront resource must be nurtured and maintained. The existing network of waterfront pathways must be expanded and approval given to the proposed bridge across Duffin's Creek. We must continue to provide our citizens with first class recreational facilities and park land. Our town's future growth and prosperity depend on it."

Terry Breen Separate school board opens techno-design centre By Marta Kurek PHS co-op student The Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate Board, determined to make technological education a priority, has opened two Design and Tedtnology Centres for grade seven and eight students. The main focus of the curriculum format at the centres is to enable students to use technology instruments and information systems effectively, comprehend and use material written in technical style, think critically and act logically to evaluate situations, and to solve probkans and make decisions. Students will also have the chance to experience a variety of technologies such as computer animation, video technology, vehicle design and desk top publishing. Regular classroom teachers will assist students as they work through modules. Parent volunteers and co-operative education students from local high schools are also present at the centres. The board hopes to form partnerships with business and industry and the linkage of both of the centres — through a modem for students to communicate with each other — is also included in Mdse plans. All grade seven and eight students will visit the centres pocated at Holy Redeemer Catholic School in Pickering and St. Paid Catholic School in Whitby) for five days throughout the sc od An open house for the design and technology centre in Whitby (serving Odom, Whitby, Port Perry and Beaverton) was held October 18.

Samuel Jones and The' Church By Henry M. Gawman Samuel Jones was born in 1777 into a family which had farmed near Frome, in Somersetshire, England, for more than 400 years. He became, like his father, a yeoman farmer, and was estate agent for the Marquis of Bath. A yeoman is one who farms his own, or leased, land. As Samuel Jones grew to maturity, great events were shaping the world. The American War of Independence was concluded; the French Revolution was quickly followed by the Napoleonic wars; the battle of Waterloo was fought in 1815. It was an age of great writers and great inventors — it was the age of steam. Samuel went about his quiet rural affairs during the reign of three kings: George III, George IV and William IV. In 1830, being now father of a large family, Samuel emigrated to Canada His need was for land for his male children as it was the oistom for a father to share his I" with his sons. There is a limit to how many times the same land can be partitioned. To solve this problem, the yeoman farmer came to Canada, where land was available. After spending two years in York (Toronto), the family moved to Salem in Pickering township. He must have been dismayed by the stately forest that made farming difficult. What roads existed were little better than dirt tracks through the forest. He was 55 years old. Fortunately, he had his English wife, the former Susan Scammel, with him, and probably five of his children. Together they shared the daunting task of making a home in the wilderness. That he succeeded is evident. The fieldstone house that he occupied in 1834 on Salem Rd. yet stands, though with new owners. That the family prospered is also evident: an 1877 map reveals ten properties in the Salem area, bearing the names of various members of the Jones family. That he was also a God-fearing man is a matter of record. Samuel Jones was a Methodist. Methodism is a Christian religious sect that formed around John Wesley in the early 18th Century. Wesley was an ordained priest of the Church of England, who became an evangelist. His religious philosophy became known as Methodism, and his followers as methodists. The Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches joined, in 1925, to become the United Church of Mount Zion Methodist Church stands on the 8th Concession, near Salem Road. This place of worship was built of brick in 1893 to take the place of a frame church which had become inadequate for a growing population.

The first church was moved to the present larger site when Samuel Jones traded one piece of land for another to relocate the church in 1873. The cost of the brick church was 'two thousand, four hundred and ninety-snc dollars.- The hitching shed on the east side is as old as the original frame church. Besides his farming skills and business sense, Samuel brought to Pickering his greatest gifts — his wife and family. Two of his girls had already married And with the family came the faith Four of the trustees at the time of the rebuilding of the frame church on the new site were John Jones, Joseph Jones, John Elijah Jones, and Uriah Jones. Two of the stewards in the brick church were Elijah Jones and John C. Jones. Among the organists over the years were Miss Priscilla Jones (later Mrs. M.L. Nutting), Miss Jennie Wilson (later Mrs. Alonzo Jones), Mrs. Florence Jones and Mrs. Cecil Jones. The household of John Albert Jones was responsible over more than 45 years for the preparation of Holy Communion. In the cemetery on Salem Road, below Highway 7, there are sixteen markers bearing the Jones name; Samuel and his wife Susan 6e side by side. He died in 1849 and she in 1857. Today the church on the 8th Concession seems lonely and almost out of place. It may not have seemed so in pioneer days, when the forest sang its own hymns, and the settlers were an Isolated brethren who needed each other, and needed their faith, in a harsh environment. Loyalty to each other and to the church is just as strong today, but the broadening horizons of life are hard to resist, and cause a different isolation. When this period ends, people may return to their roots, and the world grow small once again.

The package, which would also request hiring four civilians for the Durham Regional Police, passed at last week's finance committee meeting. The timing of the proposal is unusual because it will be voted on less than three weeks before a municipal election and it comes months before the police budget will be completed for next year. Ajax Mayor Jim Witty, the chairman of the police board, said it's `absolutely necessary" to hire new officers immediately, however. .When you look at the whole picture we're down over 40 officers from 1992 — all we're doing is coming part way back to the levels we had two years ago," Witty said. "We have to do this now. If we waited until the 1995 regional budget is complete in April we wouldn't be able to hire these people until the end of the year. " The request also comes after a recent spate of violence in the region that has left two residents dead and eight — including three police officers in last week's Port Perry bank robbery — wounded. The Ajax Mayor said the proposal is not related to the shootings, however, calling the timing 'coincidental." "That has no bearing on this request. But it does make it even more necessary." More than 40 officers in the Durham force are tied up in investigations into the shootings, stretching Durham's thin blue line even thinner, he added. Nearly 50 police positions have been left vacant since 1992. Many accepted buyout packages as part of the social contract last year and won't be replaced but Witty said the hiring motion meets the requirements of the provincially - mandated social contract. Witty and police chief Trevor McCagherty had originally wanted at least 30 more cops hired but decided on 20 because it's a number they can `realistically" hire on a staggered bass. 'If we hired them all today BANKRUPT NEED A CAR? THEN MAYBE I CAN HELP. "CALL JIM DAVIS TODAY."

Approximately 36,000 postcards, addressed to environment minister Bud Wildman, were sent out to citizens, Mitchell told Ajax councillors recently, and nearly 1,400 have now been sent to Queen's Park. The postcards demand the plant be moved to a 'safer" location, away from sewer, dump and nuclear outflows. The much-needed, $70 million water plant is proposed to be built adjacent to the present plant on the Ajax waterfront. it's the proximity of the plant to the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station that has Mitchell and other opponents upset and kickstarted the campaign.

Proms the Bleachers Diving to new depths Space — that final frontier — has fascinated us from time immemorial; we have left no stone unturned in reaching out — to distance. Similarly, the aqua world — that deep, mysterious silence — has also lured us for centuries and again, we have tried our best to capture the unfathomable. While the seekers of the skies take to wings, the explorers of the aqua world go a -diving. The Ajax Saba Club belongs to the latter. Throwing light for us during a recent visit to the club, its formation, aims and activities was energetic promotion director Marc Hahn. The dub was formed in 1975 as a non-profit organization by a handful of divers getting together through a common desire of exploring the underwater world. When the pioneers soon realized that the dub needed more members, thz clan started growing. In order to have competent scuba divers as members, the dub offered its first training course in 1976. Since then, it has trained and certified more than 800 students — quite an achievement. "Our club promotes safe driving in Durham Region by offering members professional training under sanctions of NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors)," says Marc. -A'ong with this professional training we also have educational wo;ksnops as well as supervised and organized dub diving activities. Our men ^e s^.:p dues and fees for our courses are our primary sources of funding and they are used to promote club events and subsidize our diving prograrm What is the difference between a dive shop and the Aiax Scuba Club? Marc explains: "Quite often a dive shop offers a course and the student is on his or her our after that. You do not have anything organized to do with it. The Ajax Scuba Club is an organization which offers comprehensive courses and wants to have good, qualified Marc Hahn and safe divers as members who come along and dive together." The dub has dive weekends which are booked throughout the summer months, all over Ontario. The members sign up and dive wherever there are good diving sites. The dub charters a dive boat for the weekend. With 10 to 14 divers on board, the boat sails to specific dive sites — sometimes a two-hour distance from shore. The underwater is a fmcir ating world. For a dtver each dip opens new vistas where the waters abound with artifacts from the past, some history of our evdutim. botanic wonders and many more attractions. But the main sites the club divers focus on are shipwrecks. Quite often these wrecks are wooden boats which sank it that area over a hundred years ago," says Marc. There is wwaly a lot of history on these boats. For the most part, the purpose of our divers going down to these wrecks is to investigate, study and enjoy. We leave bubbles and take prcUues. There is an organization called SOS which is into the protection of dive sites. Our dub is a sanctioned SOS dive dub, which means all of our divers :respect the shipwrecks. We do not take artifacts from the shipwrecks." he adds - The dub organizes basic internationally recognized scuba courses in the fall and winter months. Its fall course which started on Sunday, will run for eight weeks. Asimilar 8 -week course will be conducted in February. Marc calls these preparation months. "We have training MOM, MDAe nights, seminars and lots of social activity. People taking up courses now will have classroom time and actual practical work, which is done at pools. We may be putting out ice diving this year." Al it all a very busy preparation period. ,But what really captures the imagination of the listener is the experience the diver shares of the underwater world — the marine life, the different botanical growths, rare rock formations and hundreds of shipwrecks — relating strange and eerie tales of generations lost iD the hoary past. The waters beckon—keep your scuba kit handy! The Bay N ws • 26, 1994 IS Ajax martial artists earngof at orlds They came, they sparred, and they conquered. Three members of the Wolverines Tae -Kwon Do Academy of Ajax returned home from the WCKKMA (World Martial Arts Championships) last week with eight medals, including two golds, against the best Karate and Tae -Kwon Do fighters in the world. Steve Wilson, the 1991 North American champion and the head instructor at the Ajax Community Centre school (a member of United Tae -Kwon Do International), captured gold in mens sparring (heavyweight) and a silver in self-defence. Jaqueline Frank earned a gold in women sparring and John Barry fought his way to a pair of bronze medals in mens sparring (lightweight) and self-defence. As well, all three competitors, as part of the Canadian National Team, earned silver medals in Dolphins s w e e p team patterns at the competition, held October 15 in Toledo, Ohio. 'It's a great honor to be chosen to represent my country," Wilson said. "There's also an enormous sense of pride when two of my students are chosen to compete with me." Competing at the world championship level was a new experience for Frank, who admitted she was 'scared" when she stepped into the ring for her last bout against the defending world champion. "I was really happy when I stepped out. It was exdting brat it didn't seem real," the very shy world champion and the only women on the squad, said. 'When they called my name and put the medal around my neck, that's when it hit me." All three competitors, who were chosen because of past tournament records and a martial arts 'resume" sent to national martial arts coach Master Friednck, are headed to Brisbane, Australia in February I or the Goodwill Games.

There is, of course, a lot in store for the trick -or -treat set. But for those in need of entertainment without the leg work, a lot is offered locally. On Saturday, Ajax's own Nemesis will be holding their Halloween Bash at Pizza Pino (855 Westney Road South). The origins of this band are found in the former Shade; current members Stefan Lal (drums/vocals), Vaughn Lal (bass) and Shane Appleton (lead guitar/vocals) were all a part of that project. The addition of Mike Sarson (rhythm guitar), late in 1993, resulted in Nemesis. Although they name Rush, Megadeath, Metallica, So undgarden and Led Zeppelin, among others, as their influences, the bands sound has developed into something unique and more gothic. In the spirit of the current "youth quake," Nemesis puts the emphasis on individuality. "We want to take our own style of music and turn other people onto it," says Mike Sarson.

This material in -the -works is, according to the bands publicist, made up of many harmonies and time signature changes. The creative process is a definite driving force with this band. According to Mike, "We write our music and lyrics based on what we're feeling. We want our material to have an impact on our audience and we want them to think about what they've heard." Of course, as with most bands, the live venues are the other side of this creative coin. Nemesis has developed a local following, playing small clubs such as G Notes, The Spectrum and Pizza Pino. Tickets are $5 in advance, and $6 at the door. The doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. when another local band, Happy Death, takes the stage.

Thus the wait for Quiz Show to arrive in Durham Region has been a little like waiting for a pair of Levi's in the former Soviet Union. Anticipation has been high for something so good and so rare. The creative camera work and direction have earned well- deserved praise and while there has been no obvious attempt to make an "art film", all continues to heighten the drama. And drama is the key to Quiz Show's success. This isn't a drama in the rock 'em, sock 'em action flick sense of the word: this is a drama from the human tragedy and folly realm. From start to finish the viewer is forced to address his or her own foibles and ambitions asking, as the tale unfolds, 'What would I do?" ►A On the simplest level, this is the story behind the story of the quiz show scandal of the late 1950s, and that of one program in particular, "Twenty -One". Quiz shows were very popular among the American public: they held prime -time slots and peddled various and sundry products for their generous sponsors. Viewers were gripped by the mental gymnastics and prowess competitors endured en route to snatching a windfall of cash. Unfortunately many were fixed, orchestrated by studio executives hoping to win the ratings war. Select contestants — those with the right image, or those popular with the viewers — were coached on the answers in advance. As with any star, if your popularity dropped, then the show would drop you. If a contestant didn't want out just yet, they'd simply pay him or her to take a fall.

Enter Herbert Stempel (John Turturro), a trivia buff from Queens, New York. He looks and acts exactly as you would expect a Herbert Stempel to look and act. The program "Twenty- One" TwentyOne" permitted Stempel to become a hero until his underdog quality began to wane, and the producers of the show paid him $70,000 to take a fall to first- time contestant Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes). Charles Van Dorms star would soon rise higher than any other. But then, that seemed to be his destiny. Although blond - haired, blue-eyed, pedigreed and a junior professor at one of America's preeminent universities, his breeding, talent and intellectual mettle weren't enough for Van Doren.

The producers of "Twenty -One" wanted Van Doren and he, deep down inside, wanted a Mercedes and a townhouse in the Village. Van Doren allowed himself to be bought, passively, as if to distance himself from his own corruptibility. He insisted on riding on the laurels of pop hero status, convincing himself that young Americans were once again in love with the idea of learning, because of his stint on "Twenty -One". But as his father Mark Van Doren, the poet and professor of literature at Columbia university, chided: knowing the answers for a quiz show is lice plagiarizing a comic strip.

The present two-year operating licences for the stations expire on December 31. "Pickering has the oldest and most dangerous reactors in the country — there should be a public hearing," said DNA spokesman Dave Martin. "A nuclear accident in Pickering would be particularly dangerous because of the high population densities in and around Pickering." Normally, the federal regulatory agency, the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) would issue an operating licence for the Pickering nuclear stations with little or no public input. However, the AECB may invoke an independent environmental Heart and stroke symposium The Heart and Stroke Foundation has a message for women who think heart disease and strokes are the exclusive domain of men — think again, or you could be in for a lethal surprise.

It's a Mobile Showroom which just may be the only one in Canada. 'The day is gone when you carried some brochures and a sample window to a customer's home," explains Wayne. "So I obtained a retired North York Mobile Library truck and installed interior walls along with all of my window samples." When you call Durham Windows and Doors for a free estimate, Wayne will show up at your door with his Mobile Showroom which you'll enter by way of a sliding patio door. Inside, displayed on the walls, are the Tech Weld 2000 series of vinyl windows which you re free to operate and you'll also discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going outside. "After being involved in this business for the past 17 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market," says Wayne. "They're tripled sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware." if you so desire, you can also choose the Low -E -Glass which filters out the ultra violet rays keeping your home cooler in the DNA will be going door-to- door in Pickering and area to seek support for a public hearing. The group is also approaching municipal councils and community groups this month for support. The municipal governments of Durham and Metropolitan Toronto are still considering whether to receive deputations from DNA. Whitby was the only municipality in Durham Region to refuse to receive a deputation from DNA.

The result of a catastrophic accident at Pickering would result in completely unacceptable environmental conditions," the group stated in a letter to Durham Region's works committee.

Hydro's board of directors approved an average rate decrease of 0.7 for its 101 direct industrial customers. Ontario Hydro is continuing the rate freeze for municipal utilities and distributing companies and the more than 940,000 Waal retail customers served directly by Ontario Hydro. Rates for all customers were frozen in 1994. "Ontario Hydro has always been the fuel that drove the engine of the Ontario economy. This average rate decrease provides a bit more octane for that engine," said president Allan Kupcis. "Rolling back rates for our direct industrial customers reflects the pressures on Ontario industries to keep their costs down in today's competitive environment." "We have to recognize that industrial customers could choose to move out of the province and take the jobs with them," Kupcis added. "Reducing their electricity costs will help Ontario industries recapture some of the competitiveness they used to enjoy and help keep those jobs in Ontario." At the same time, Kupcis said "the rate freeze for other customers gives them a second year of rate relief. With inflation, this rate freeze means that in real terms, the price of electricity has come down for all our astomers." Kupas said the rate decrease addresses financial concerns by providing net income in 1995 o` $610 million and allowing Hydro to meet its debt retirement targets. The rate decision also reinforces Hydro's commitment to keep rates at or below the rate of inflation for the rest of the decade. Ontario Hydro had originally proposed a 1.4 per cent increase.
