I'm back, and with me I have brought some good news and some bad news. We should get the bad news over with first. I'm sad to say that because of all these spec- tacular Hallowe'en ac- tivities our school is taking a rest. We just can't handle any more excitement for one time: needless to say. my column will be a tiny bit shorter. But the good news is that all our Hallowe'en events were great Our pumpkin -carrying contest was a memorable event. We had a cowboy pumpkin, a pumpkin eating a sandwich, a garbage eating pumpkin and many others-. brit the winner was a hippi pumpkin with ban- danas and peace symbols all over him. Sprit week which in- volves dressing up to the then-* of the day was qurite hu miorouis at times. I was Snow White on Hallowe'en Day, just in case you didn't recognize me. Our fund raising commit- tee is holding a fashion stow in the Spring. I know it is a long time away from now, but the reason I am in- forming you today is because the fund raising for the event is already underway. Money will be raised by holding raffles. Prizes will be available and that is the best part. An update on our milk drive. Let me just say that one day last week we were sold out of milk in our cafeteria. Way to go P.H.S., let's keep those cows in business. In sports this week our Trojans are at the top of the list for winning their semi- final match against Ux- bridge last Tuesday. They won 27-7. with the defence giving it their all and com- ing out as the stars of the game. Touchdowns were scored by Joe Foote, Paul Duncan and Jason Griffiths. They are now entering the finals. Good Luck' Our second set of stars were the junior girls' basketball team. They won the tournament hosted by our very own P.H.S. this past weekend and now qualify for L.O.S.S.A. Top credits go to Jenny Hunt, who just couldn't stop drop- ping them in the basket. Lastly, for girls in- terested in playing school volleyball this year, try- outs are starting soon. Keep your ears open for an- nouncements or speak to Mrs. Morrison. Vol. 24 No. 45 30C per copy Published by Watson Publishing Company Ltd.

( Photo - Bob Watson) Stoner Asks About VIA Cuts In Legislature On Thurs. Oct. 26th, Norah Stoner, M.P.P. Dunham West, posed a question in the house to the Hon. William Wrye, Minister of Transportation about the proposed VIA cuts to the Peterborough - Havelock line. She stated that the cut is causing great concern because many people from the community depend on that line for its commuter service, which will be wiped out in January. Mrs. Stoner asked the Minister exactly what in- volvement the Province of Ontario is going to have with respect to this an- nouncement, particularly in view of the speculation that the GO system would intervene. Mr. Wrye stated that "categorically there are no negotiations now under way, there were none and none are planned." He indicated that this was a federal responsibili- ty and that he hopes the people in that area of On- tario will be successful in persuading Mr. Bouchard to reverse his decision. Another member of the Provincial Legislature, David Cooke, revealed that the order in Council, reliev- ing Via Rail of its obliga- tions places the residual legal duties with the original owners of the lines - Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. The federal legislation stipulates that C.N. and C.P. are responsible for providing passenger rail service to the people of Canada, should VIA Rail's service be cancelled. Therefore, they must pro- vide passenger service as of midnight Jan. 16, 1990. ..The cuts to the VIA passenger service have caused outrage all across Ontario," stated Mrs. Stoner. Pickering Town Council Notes Northeast Quadrant Study Council recommended that an Official Plan amendment for the lands situated in the Highway No. 2 - Whites Road Nor- theast Quadrant Study Area, which is part of the Woodlands Community, be approved. A delegation of six residents voiced their disapproval at the Oct. loth Executive Committee meeting. Murray Evans, spoke on behalf of the owners of 1475 and 1485 Whites Rd. He stated that permitted uses on Whites Rd. should in- clude retail and that there would be no conflict with the residential zoning. Kim Baker, 765 Sheppard Ave., stated that the rear or her property is included Reach your potential customers with this space! Call 291-2583 ,for information - $24 per week in the area and she is op- posed to permitting townhouses as a buffer because it will decrease the value of her property. She stated that retail uses should be permitted on Sheppard Ave. Valerie Lawson, 757 Sheppard Ave., spoke in op- position to the residential component included in the area. Vincent Catalfo, 751 Sheppard Ave., spoke in op- position to the residential buffer and stated that it would be more consistent to permit office uses. He also stated that he is not op- posed to zoning changes on Sheppard Ave. Lydia Dobbin. 1495 Whites Rd., opposed per- mitting residential zoning with commercial and of - Z X.MSS PRamrnc AND 1 fives uses. She questioned access to the residential component and stated that it is inappropriate to have business operations behind residential zoning. Peter Van Loan, on behalf of the owners of 1467 Whites Rd., stated that the frontage of Whites Rd. should include the same permitted uses as on Hwy. No. 2 which would permit his client's proposed development. Appointments to LACAC The resignations of Wen- dy Nemish and Kees Ver - burg from the Local Ar- chitectural Conservation Advisory Committee were regretfully received. Approval was granted to appoint four persons to the LACAC and Pickering residents will be invited to submit letters of interest through an advertisement in local newspapers. Council also recommend- ed that the mandate of the LACAC be amended to re- quire that if members are absent in excess of three times consecutively, the seat may be declared va- brand new multi-million dollar high school by 1992. In the summer of 1990, things will get underway. The school is to be north of Finch on Liverpool Rd.

Board policy No. 7551 states that schools shall be named: after persons mak- ing a significant contribu- tion to our society in the region, province or coun- try; an historical name which once applied to the area in which the school is located: the name of the district which the school will serve: the name of the street on which the school is located.

Included are shows at the Magic Image Gallery, Sim- coe County Museum, Toronto Watercolour Socie- ty Fall Show and the St. Lawrence Theatre. The focus of the work in this exhibition is a sensitive approach to the subtle beauty of the time- honoured homes in our area. Also included are delicate floral impressions and Haliburton landscapes.

Nov. 8, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Canadians Are Angry by Bob Watson Canadians are angry with their governments at all levels - but especially the federal government. The aggravating fact, however, is that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney doesn't seem to realize that we are angry at the way his government is wasting tax money and not paying the na- tional debt! Perhaps each of our readers should mail this opinion to the PM - you can sent it postage free! Mulroney 's government is still wasting taxes dishing out "goodies" to every group that reaches out its hand - and we can't afford this nonsense. He just enlisted our country in the Organization of American States - another few million plus we'll be involved in the future in all the military pro- blems of Latin America. The 9% GST is unnecessary if our Progressive Conser- vative MPs at (lttaw•a would start telling our "not listening" Prime Minister that budget cuts are what we all want. Democracy is not functioning in the old Canadian way at Ottawa and if the PM doesn't respond soon he may see the first large scale angry demonstrations against his government and his costly GST. MPs are representatives of the people and the people want them to start acting on our behalf. Let's start now! Labour Bill A bill that strengthens the province's approach to protec- ting health and safety in the workplace has received second reading in the Ontario Legislative Assembly and will now be considered by a legislative committee. Labour Minister Gerry Phillips said the Home had af- firmed the basic principles of Bill 2D8, when it granted se- cond reading, which is approval in principle, of the bill. Bill 208 proposes amendments to the Occupational Health and Safetv Act. "'Kris bill will give Ontario the most progressive ,workplace safety legislation in North America," Mr. Phillips said. The bill will be considered by the Legislature's Resources Development Canrnittee, which is expected to hold public bearings. The minister told the Legislature recently the three basic principles of the bill are - strengthening the labour - management partnership for ensuring health and safety at the workplace and provincial level: ensuring that both Labour and management have the training and education necessan to give full effect to their health and safety con- cerns: and providing greater authority for the new knowledge to be applied in the workplace so that the risk of accident can be minimized. The current costs associated with illness and injury are simply too high, in both human and economic terms, Mr. Phillips said. In 1988, the worker's compensation system paid out $1.45 billion in benefits to workers who suffered workplace injury or illness. And seven million work days were lost. Based on the average industrial wage, that cost the provincial economy about $ion million. "And those facts don't even begin to address the most distressing reality of all - the reality of the 360 men and women*rho died last year because of work-related causes, " Mr. Phillips said. Bill 208 seeks to reduce those costs by strengthening the integrated provincial approach to workplace health and safety that was first enacted a decade ago under the Occupational Health and Safety Act a decade ago. While there is widespread agreement about the principles of the bill and support for most of the provisions which will put life to these principles, there is concern about specific features, he said. Some changes midst be made if Bill 208 is to have the commitment from all parties necessary to make the system work effectively. The government will place before the Resources Develop- ment Committee a number of proposed amendments for its consideration. Issues to be discussed include the structure and composition of the workplace Health and Safety Agen- cy, the governance of existing safety associations, and un- plementation in the construction sector. The government will also place before the committee for its consideration a modified approach to the issue of the right of certified worker or management representatives to order a stop to dangerous work that poses an immediate threat to workers. The minister said the government looks forward to full and open debate during the committee pro- cess, including public hearings, before making any propos- ed changes. It is important that all views be heard he said. news ,`ost Published every Wednesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 19W Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

The survey, con- ducted by the Facility of Medicine and Toronto Hospital, is one of the first in Canada to report on health care workers who care for AIDS patients. A total of 1,300 staff in three Toronto hospitals were asked questions about their knowledge. concerns and attitudes towards AIDS sufferers. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Canada's Language War "Two founding nations" - that expression is part of pro- paganda spread throughout Canada. It is a dangerous weapon of war - a language war! The result of this wear could be an English-speaking or a French-speaking nation, but not both. The motivation behind the propaganda is power, perpetuated revenge and instilled hatred. This has been in- stigated by a tribal instinct on the part of Quebec Na- tionalists. Clever instruments of this language war are legislations - Bill C-72, Bill 8 of Ontario, Bill 178 of Quebec, the Meech Lake Accord, and French Immersion of our children.

And, of course, her "pied a pied" is probably the best of any dancer in the com- pany. Indeed, with the im- minent retirement of Veronica Tennant it is arguably the very best. No, Miss Iightheart cannot be held accountable for the lack of passion in the pro- duction. Raymond Smith as Albrecht? Well, his danc- ing can't be faulted, par- ticularly his strong lifts. As an actor he is rather reminiscent of the old style Romeos: you know, pallid and dreamy but that might have been direction rather than his interpretation. Tomas Schramek, look- ing younger all the time, did his excellent best as Hilarion but couldn't come across as a man of the forest and of only the minimal passions. Less than perfect casting? Perhaps. The performances of Martine Lamy, Karyn Tessmer. Owen Montague and John Alleyne as GiseHe's friends in sob, pas de deux and pas de quatre displayed much ex- cellence and vitality but divertissements should not be the principal strength of a production. M'mselles Lamy and Tessmer reprised ex- cellence as attendants to Myrtha, the Queen of the Willis and in that role, Gizella Witkowsky proper- ly emanated hate tempered by the discipline of posi- tion.

Giuseppe Raffa, Artistic Director of the Interna- tional Opera Festival has announced that the world premiere of the I.O.F.'s production of Carmen will take place in Sky Dome next June 15th and 16th. It is claimed that it will be the largest and most spectacular opera ever staged. There will be over 1500 extras (Maestro Raffa doesn't call them supers) and the stage will be 20% larger than that con- structed for Aida. At this time it isn't known if the dome will be open or not. We rather suppose that the exigencies of sound engineering will not permit such a happening but a pro- duction of Carmen under the stars of a balmy spring eve could be most pleasant. We'll keep you posted. IN CABARET: Classical Cabaret's next concert is this Sunday in the George Ignatieff Theatre. To be presented is a new song cycle Lacnmosa in both classical and jazz styles to be sung by mesio -soprano, Anne - Marie Donovan accom- panied by the composer. Glenn Buhr. Also on the program will be flautist, Kathryn Moses and harpist, Joanna Jordan with a fusion of musical styles called CL=. As always, it should be an entertaining afternoon but we can't help reflecting that Lacnmosa sound like an Italian pastry. TALENT CALL: Given that children in the cast outgrow their roles. the producers of Les Miserables are holding auditions again this Satur- day at the Canadian Opera Company, 227 Front St. E. They start at 10 a.m. and %rill continue until 12 noon. No one arriving after noon hour will be allowed to audition. No exceptions! The producers are look- ing for boys and girls bet- ween 7 and 10 (11 for boys) to be considered in the roles of young Costette and Gavroche. Aspirants should prepare one or two songs of their choice -other than from Les Miz-and must bring their own sheet music. They should also learn the appropriate music from Les Miz. Also required is a resum6 stapl- ed to a current photo. Good luck to all and for heaven's sake, don't be late! BLACK TIE: More parties from party lady Joanne Smale. Paparazzi is a new club opening in Richmond Hill. Tomorrow evening is for a private grand opening par- ty and is to be strictly black tie. Dare we hope that with the current affluence in the economy, formal, or at least semi -formal in the case of black tie, dress will become the norm? Robertson Davies On Technology & The Arts Ernest Hemingway wrote his novels with a pen- cil, standing at a high table. Robert Fulford still relies on an old-fashioned typewriter. Richard Rohmer dictates his books. Visual artist Charles Pachter creates shapes and even mixes his colors on a computer. Composer Philip Glass, well-trained in traditional composi- tional skills, writes his minimalist scores on manuscript paper but ar- ranges with digital samplers. Has technology had an impact on the arts? Have the arts had an impact on technology? In 1989, many mainstream artists are still beholden to traditional ways of creating. In other cases, the latest in technology is creating new traditions. Robertson Davies, the fourth speaker in the an- nual J. Tuzo Wilson Presentation, brings a novelist's perspective to the topic of technology and the arts on Nov. 26th at 2 p.m. at the Ontario Science Centre. Free tickets for reserved seating will be available at the Science Centre beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 26. World Premiere "Tire Fairies", a power- ful new operatic ballet about freedom and slavery, will premiere Nov. 17th and 18th in Toronto. Adapted from the work of Persian poet Ahmad Shamlu. this extraordinary performance features the work of many renowned Canadian artists as well as the traditional dance of visiting Tadjik ballerinas from the Soviet Union. Musicians, dancers, vocalists and actors have come together to create a unique international ex- perience. "Tbe Fairies" runs for two nights only at 8:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Toron- to Convention Centre's John Basset Hall, 225 Front St. E. Tickets are $30 and are available at the door or in advance through the box office, 665-9778. ........ .... ......................... . Let us hope so • it's about Beach Resort. Hotel Costa time.

Statistics show that im- proper foot wear and hard work out surfaces cause in- juries to one out of two ex- ercisers. The Scarborough Podiatrist says that aerobics is an excellent conditioning exercise for the heart and lungs but unless attention is paid to wearing the proper shoes and socks and dancing on a shock-abosrbing floor, serious damage can be done to the feet, lower back and knees. He warns that in typical routines the feet can take incredible pounding up to three to five times your body weight and this can cause stress fractures of the metatarsal bones and damage to the achilles ten- don. These are not injuries that heal rapidly. "I have to take my pa- tients out of the sport for approximately six to eight J.E.

Lic B1307. 439.7644 Mayors & Police Chiefs Recommendations by Gav Abbate A meeting of mayors and police chiefs of 10 urban centres has recommended tough measures to fight the growing drug problem - Scarborough Mayor Joyce Trimmer who at- tended the two-day sym- posium on illicit drugs last week in Ottawa said tough measures have to be taken soon. "We've got to do something," she told a press conference last Fri- day. According to Sgt. Pat Tallon, no area of Scar- borough is immune from drug trafficking. He said crack houses are widespread. In the Last 18 months, police have made three drug sweeps resulting in hundreds of ar- rests. "Some areas of Scar- borough are difficult to go through without being of- fered drugs for sale." Tallon said. Metro police have doubled the size of their drug squad in Scar- borough. There have been m dorm -related deaths in Could Make More Revenue By Selling Ad Space by Gay Abbate Some members of Scar- borough Council think the city could generate a little more revenue by selling advertisement space in its arenas. Other cauicillors say it would be an eyesore. Staff of the recreation and parks department are proposing selling the ads to Boardview Advertising Inc. Tobacco and alcohol ads would not be allowed. Rookie Councillor Sherene Shaw told a recent council meeting that the arena signs was "an in- teresting opportunity for the city to generate some revenue". She suggested the city reserve one sign X. weeks with these injuries. We also find concomitantly that the foot itself is not functioning properly and consequently have to make an insert for the patient to slip inside their shoe to straighten up the foot while walking and especially dur- ing sporting activities. Of course proper shoes are important in aerobic danc- ing," cautions O'Connell. "Running shoes won't do as they stablize the foot while running but also limit the side to side motion of exercise," he says. He advises tennis or court shoes, or better yet, aerobic shoes. The chief factor in aerobics is the floor according to his ex- periences. It should be firm resilient and even. It need not be carpeted but should be cushioned. You can carpet over cement but it is not efferctive unless it is thick and good quality and of good padding undernearth. One should contact a podiatrist in- terested in sports podiatry. for its own promotional use. She was backed by Councillor Gerry Altobello who argued that "in this day of rising taxes. govern- ments should look at ways of bringing in new revenue to offset tax increases." But on the other side of the debate was Councillor Ron Watson who said the city already has enough signs. "There's enough clutter. People don't need more signs when they go to an arena. Councillor Fred Johnson called the suggestion "sight pollution". Councillor :Marilyn Mushinski said council should reject the request from Boar•dview as it has turned down similar re- quests from other com- panies in the past. Because of the mixed reaction to the plan, the proposal was sent back to recreation and parks com- mittee for further con- sideration. This committee already debated the issue once and was unable to come up with a recommen- dation. Councillor Doug Mahood said the city should use all the signs for its own pur- poses instead of trying to make a buck out of them.

The mayors and police chiefs came up with 17 recommendations in- cluding: that the provinces make anti-drug education mandatory in all school grades, that substance abuse education be a prere- quisite for obtaining a driver's license, the pro- vinces review existing drug treatment centres with a view to easing the critical shortage of treatment facilities, federal legisla- tion be amended to prohibit bail for repeat drug traf- fickers, that no plea bargaining be allowed for drug traffickers and that the federal government ad- Mome Plumbing • New bathrooms • Repairs • Remodelling Free Estimates Call now! �- 631-2370 ••� Lk. , dress the problem of drugs in the workplace and the possibility of mandatory drug testing. Trimmer said the federal government should allow police forces to keep some of the money confiscated in drug bursts to cover their costs. Trimmer said the recom- mendations will not sit idle. In six month time, the group intends to go to the various governments in- volved to get firm com- mitments to carry out the recommendations. The recommendations are be- ing sent to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and all the provincial premiers.

Leading Cause Of Death :Many people are surpris- ed to learn that Sudden In- fant Death syndrome, com- monly called SIDS or "crib death", is the leading single cause of death in Canada for babies between one week and one year of age. It takes the life of about one in every 500 live-born babies - more than the in- fant deaths in this age range from cystic fibrosis, cancer, heart disease and accidents combined. No one yet knows the exact causeisi of SIDS. In our present state of knowledge, SIDS can neither be predicted nor prevented. The Canadian Founda- tion for the Study of Infant Deaths, the "SIDS Founda- tion", is holding its annual national Baby's Breath Conference on Nov. lith at the Ramada Hotel Don Valley in North York. Internationally known pioneer in neonatal care and research, Dr. L. Stanley James of Columbia University, New York, will present the keynote ad- dress on "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Future Directions in Research". On the theme of "Form- ing a Firm Foundation" the SIDS Foundation will present a workshop on "Team Building", and, as the mourning of men is fre- quently ignored in our society, there will also be a workshop on "The Grief of Fathers: Sudden Loss" to explore ways to help bereaved fathers.

Depending on the season. these waters teem with red snapper, snook. grouper. sheep's head, mullet and one of the world's greatest gamefish. the tarpon. Tarpon fishing has its origins right here on Pine Island wfiere it began as a sport for the wealthy in the late 1880's. Today, thanks to a conservation minded approach and the invention of the releasing hook. there are more of these fighting giants in the water than ever before. There most be at least a hundred piers and docks from which to fish, but boat rentals and charters are here for the asking and less expensive than one might expect. To really get into the pirate frame of mind, charter a sailing yacht for a day, sunset cruise or overnight. Lunch and dinner cruises nun regularly from several marinas on Captiva Island and launches can be hired from Pine Island marinas. You no longer have to be a pirate to find your w•ay to Florida's Lee Island Coast.

The Scarborough LRT is currently being analyzed for cost effectiveness by the Toronto Transit Com- mission. However, its future will ultimately lie in the hands of Metro and the Province. "Currently the RT is the best alternative." said Paul Hyatt, President of the Scarborough Chamber of Commerce, "the chamber believes that con- tinued economical growth is directly dependent on the expansion of the Scar- borough RT." The chamber substan- tiates this position on the basis that a rapid public transit infrastructure within a city has proven to be a key element in attrac- ting corporations. "We have been successful in getting blue chip com- panies to move their offices to Scarborough fro,, the downtown core because we have the ability to get their employees to and from work quickly and efficient- ly," says Hyatt. "In order to attract additional businesses and to simply meet the existing and pro- jected demand, the RT must be maintained and expanded." According to the chamber, there has been a marked increase in service industries and indirect employment opportunities as a result of corporate growth. "This increase has made a substantial con- tribution to the local economy," said Hyatt, "and greater RT service can only see this im- pressive growth pattern continue." In addition, Hyatt stated that additional tax revenue created by the influx of new business would be ample, in the long run. to improve the city's public services such as roadways, com- munity centres and public transportation. The chamber also main- tains that the local citizens do not want an increase in traffic.

In 1984 this nationally significant 82 year old beaux arts building. designed by G. W. Gouinlock, one of the first architects born and trained in Canada. was threatened with demolition to enlarge the loading facilities for the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Over the past three years, Sam Sniderman. the Toronto historical Board and Metro Councillors such as Joe Pantalone, Chair- man of Metro's Music Building Restoration Com- mittee, and Derwyn Shea. have led a public awareness and fundraising campaign and appealed to Metro for the restoration of this Toronto landmark. The restoration will take place in two phases: Phase 11 -restoration of the ex- terior, bringing the Music Building beck to its former architectural glory for the 1990 CNE ($1.9 million) Metro Council News Kingston Rd. Parking Metro has decided to pro- hibit perking at anytime on both sides of Kingston Rd. (Highway 2) from 143 metres west of Centennial Rd. to 32 metres west of Durnford Rd. and 73 metres east of Sheppard Ave. E. to the Rouge river. The proposal came from the provincial transporta- tion ministry. Aquarium Metro Council has defer- red a decision to establish a site for an aquarium for Metro Toronto until its Nov. 8tii meeting. Most favourite site for the aquarium would be on Lakeshore park lands bet- ween the Humber River and the Mimico Creek. Scarborough Transporta- tion Corridor Consumers Gas has been given an easement on the Scarborough Transporta- tion Corridor lands for the sum of 52000. The proposed easement with an area of 482.40 square metres has a fron- tage of 59.13 metres along Eglinton Ave. E- and an average depth of 8.00 metres. A prior easement was granted in 1987 to the Scarborough Utilities for the protection of an overhead power line runn- ing across the land. The presence of this easement would not constrain the future development of the Metro property. French Language The City of Orillia has sent :Retro Council a letter asking for support in a fight to stop Bill 8 (The French Language Services Act) xe tant when one works from home." Seminar registration is on a first-come, first- served basis and costs $90. The fee includes handouts, coffee and lunch, and a subscription to The Home Business Advocate newsletter. which makes many Ontario government jobs open only to people who can speak both English and French in areas such as OrWia... and ;Metro Toronto. Orillia City Council says that it feels that this bill is illegal because it forces English speaking people to learn a second language in order to qualify for government jobs. No Metro Council resolution was made on this matter. Metro Hall Ground breaking ceremonies for the ne%% Metro Hall, which will house all of the Metro government offices. are scheduled for early November 1989, itwas reported at the Oct. 25th meeting. Interior design of the building is being put together. Phase II -fitting out of the interior for eventual use as a performance and exhibi- tion centre focusing on Canadian music. It is anticipated that Phase II will be co- ordinated with the suc- cessful proposal ( s) for the future use of Exhibition Place either for the 1996 Olympics. Expo 2000, and or the World Trade Centre. The $1.9 million needed for Phase I has been donated by private citizens. businesses, the National Cost Sharing Pro- gram of the Canadian Parks Service, the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship & Culture, and the City of Toronto. The Corporation of Metropolitan Toronto will contribute a maximum of 5400,000 towards the restoration effort. Metro has made its deci- sion to restore contingent on formal approval of fun- ding from the Ontario :M irustry of CWture and Communications and an additional contribution from the City of Toronto. Unofficial reports are that a positive response can be expected on both. R.

The Great Lakes hold 20% of the world's supply of fresh water. They provide drinking water, recreation, and are the economic underpinning for 35 million Canadians and Americans. Over the years, the quality of water in the Great Lakes has been steadily diminishing. Whether one talks about the localized pollution of Toronto beaches or the overall quality of the lakes, one thing is clear, the picture is bleak. However, the Great Lakes can be saved and return- ed to their once glorious state. Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West HEROES AMONG US Quick! Grab the kids and turn off the television. You may have a hero living next door. Not a mythical super hero but a living breathing feeling one. This person probably does not think of himself as a hero, but then, real heroes rarely do. Two of our local firefighters will receive medals for bravery on November 6th from Lieutenant -Governor Lin- coln Alexander. North York Firefighter Sean O'Hearn and Toronto Firefighter Cedric Frudd have been recognized by the government for their bravery and courage in the line of du- ty. O'Hearn of Park Cr. in Pickering, says he was "just doing his job" when he carried a very large man to safety from within a burning rooming house. He climbed the aluminum ladder up to the 3rd floor, passing the 2nd floor which was fully involved. A hydro line snapped and fell onto the ladder leaving O'Hearn with no retreat and no way for anyone to assist him. He crawled along the roof, entering the house through a window. He found a man lying unconscious on the floor and carried him to a stairwell where he received assistance from another fireman who helped carry the man to safety. Sadly, the man died in hospital one month after the inci- dent. his lungs seared and infected from the blaze. O'Hearn said all firefighters are faced with similar incidents from time to time and he feels he was "just doing his job' Last year in Ontario, 141 deaths were attributed to fire. Loss of property amounted to a staggering $317 million. Firefighters don't always fight fires as Cedric Frudd of Plumridge Court in Ajax can attest. Frudd, saved the lives of two youngsters who had crossed a low river in the Steeles , Weston Rd. area to go filing on a nearby island. On that day there was heavy rain and the boys became trapped, unable to get back to the mainland due to the swells and current. The fire department couldn't get the trucks down to the river bank so the Chief drove his truck down and was accompanied by two ambulances. "Ibe youngest boy who was about 8 years old was really frightened," Frudd said. He tied a rope around himself and crossed the river to the two boys bringing the frightened youngsters back across the swollen river to safety. "I don't feel like a hero, but my family sees it a little differently," Frudd laughed. "This award is really for all the firefighters. Anyone woWd have done the same thing." Maybe, but it is reassur- ing to know that there are Firefighters like O'Hearn and Frudd that risk it all because "it's their job".

Oct. 10th, The Minister of Health and Welfare on behalf of Environment Canada, announced the furling for programs under the Great Lakes Action Plan. The Great Lakes Action Plan will commit $125 million in new funds over five years to help clean up, preserve and monitor the Great Lakes. The action plan has three principal elements: helping cleats up the mess of today, preserving the environ- ment for the future, and closely examining the current state of the lakes for potential dangers to human health. The first element, the $55 million Great Lakes Clean-up Fund, will restore the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem. The fund will implement specific remedial measures in areas of federal jurisdiction. Around the Great Lakes there are 42 areas of concern designated by the International Joint Commission, all of which are targeted for remedial action. The second area, the Preservation fund, with a budget of $50 trillion, will look at the changes we all must make to preserve the Great Lakes. There is much work to be done. We need to [educe the run-off from lands along the lake shores, particularly water laden with agricultural chemicals. We must also work to prevent pollution of ground water, ensure contaminated sediments do not spread before they can be removed or neutralized and ex- amine how best to protect the lakes from toxic rainfall, which account for about 30% of the pollution of the lakes. The third program, for which $20 million has been allocated, examines the effect of Great Lake's pollution on human health. There are growing concerns that the cumulative effect of low-level toxic chemicals, may indeed affect human health. The government takes these concerns seriously and will address them systematically. The dif- ferent aspects of this scientific work include examining the overall effect on human health of exposure to con- taminants, to enhancing the involvement of groups and in- dividuals, to improving the coordination of scientific research conducted in the Great Lakes basin. The residents of Ontario Riding and the surrounding areas, know all too well the effects of pollution on the Great Lakes. They treed only drive to the shotes of Lake Ontario and look out over its vast waters to witness it first hand. I agree whole-heartedly with the growing number of Cana- dians who feel that the time `,)r talk is over. We must ensure that the environment our children inherit from us is as clean as, or cleaner, than the environment we inherited from our parents. 't
