WEDNESDAY DEC.I 6.00 PM- 10.00 PM Before snow shovel season hits, Ontario residents should ensure that heating systems work safely. The chimney is one area in a fuel-burning heating system that may become defective, say experts with the On- tario Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). A malfunctioning chimney can cause products of combustion to back up into your home. If not corrected this can form carbon monoxide which could poison occupants. Sym- ptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning in- clude nausea, headaches and diz- ziness. "In large doses it can kill you," says Bob Clendining, Director of the Ministry's Fuels Safety Branch. "We have investigated in- cidents where this has happened. All chimneys should be carefully in- spected and cleaned at least once a year." Start the inspection by checking inside the clean-out door at the base of the chimney. Any debris should be See page 33 From nage 30 Ankrso Igh School /<(<) p ( 668-0053 666-4612 .9..

Shop Locally Speaking to You By SCOTT FENNELL, MP (PC - Ontario) Last week, I was appointed to the position of Chief Government Whip. I now have a number of new responsibilities in addition to my continuing duties as the elected representative for the Riding of On- tario. Tracking 282 Members of Parliament is a primary responsibility of the Whip. On an almost hourly basis the whip must know where they are, what they are doing, and how soon they can be available in Ottawa for votes or meetings. The whip must also have an intimate knowledge of the feelings of Members individually, regionally and as a whole, on any political issue to the extent that he should be able to predict what they are likely to say on an issue. The Whip's office is responsible for maintaining complete and accurate records of the Members' ac- tivities in the House, and in committee, and he must be prepared to evaluate the performance of Mem- bers in both respects. This enables the Whip to per- form an advisory function to the Prime Minister, and to the House Leader, when it is necessary for them to know who is really interested and willing to work on a particular issue. The Whip occupies a unique position within the governing party, spanning cabinet and private members and ensuring that one element does not get too far out of touch with the other. His duties toward individual Members include those of an ombudsman, as he must attempt to work toward a reconciliation whenever there is a dispute between Government Members, and he also has a diplomatic task in keeping good working relations between his party and the others. In adition, the Whip has a number of information and education related duties. When Members are first elected without any background, training or understanding of the operation and skills required to run their parliamentary office, it is up to the Whip to prepare a short course to prepare Members. Later on, the Whip supervises courses to upgrade members' knowledge on matters relating to parliamentary procedure and press relations, etc. The Whip must also work closely with the various ministeries to ensure that members are in possession of relevant and up to date briefing in- formation on House of Commons debates, and it is up to the Whip to circulate regular bulletins to caucus members on House of Commons business and other information. It has been said that: "Neither fully leaders nor followers, Whips have a foot in both camps. Com- mitted to pushing through their master's policies, they are also closely associated with backbenchers among whom they spend most of the day and whose confidence must be maintained if the job is done properly." I am honoured by this opportunity to serve as Chief Government Whip and I look forward to the challlenging days ahead. Neglected Chimney could mean trouble
