The fee paid to Durham Region when someone- applies for an Officiai Plan amend- ment bas been increased by $200. Regional council decided last Wednesday, February 21 to increase the application fee to $500 from $300 which bas been in effect since 1974. The increase was recom- mended by the regional planning staff based on a yearly inflation rate of ap- proximately 10 per cent applîed to the $300 fee from 1974 to 1979. Staff poînted out in its report that the Region now bas increased responsibility in processing amendments. With the approval of the Regional Officiai Plan by the Minister of Housing and the prepara- tion of District Plans by the municipalities, "the Region is now responsible for processing amendments to those plans as well as officiai plans still in effect for former planning areas". 0f the $500, haîf will be forwarded to the area munici- BUY ONEe GET ONE FREEe BUY ONE@ GET ONE FREEe BUY ONE z aNaeE N m BUY ONEe GET ONE FREE@ BUY ONE.

The planning staff and committee were recommend- îng only $150 be given to the municipality when it is involv- ed but this met with opposition in council. Oshawa councillor Bruce MacArthur said the munici- pality "1gets involved in a very major way in the processing of these applications" and receives only a small compen- sation. "I don't think the Region is being fair about this," he said. Vice-chairman of the planning committee, Reg Rose, said, "it is difficuit to arrive at an equitable split for ahl types of amendments." Major amendments, he point- ed out, are processed mainly by the Reigon. Oshawa Counillor Ed Kolodzie was opposed to any fee increase at ail. He said that staff is hired to do a job and "when we want them to do something extra we always have to increase the fee." He said the inflation factor is just an excuse. Any fee increase merely continues the inflation spiral upwards. Councillor Rose observed that "'amounts might be quarrelled with but in -most cases where application is made and approved, the benefit derived by the ap- plicant is one that greatly exceeds the rate of inflation. It's only reasonable that he pays a small portion of what it costs to process his applica- tion. " Uxbridge Mayor Gary Herrema agreed, saying "it probably costs $500 just to advertise the proposed amendment."

His lecture was so im- pressive that halfway through he had me con- vinced I was going to quit smoking, leave my car in the.driveway and walk to work. Well it isn't quite that easy, I'm stili smoking and my car, well, you know how it is, I'm always in a hurry or it's just too cold. This past year I have been getting bits and pieces of information about nutrition from dif- ferent sources. At first 1 just brushed it off as another fad but the more I hear and read about it the more sense it makes. I just finished a book by Dr. Cheraskin about food and emotional heaith called Psychodietetics. This book is very eniightening and I think everyone should read it. It is written in laymans terms and is very in- teresting to read. How often have you been bothered by headaches irritability fatigue, sleepless nights and many other minor ailments that your doc- tor can find no physical reason for. Well accor- ding to noted nutritionists it just may be what you're eating. The majority of doctors know very littie about nutrition. Dr. Jean Mayer of Harvard University has ex- plained, nutrition is not a compu.lsory subject in most medical curricula. A few years ago a study was- comnpleted to find out what the average doctor at Harvard knows about nutrition. What they found out is this, the average doctor knows a wee bit more about nutrition than his secretary,unless his secretary has a weight problem, in which case the average secretary knows a wee bit more about nutrition than the average doctor. I think this is a good place to tell you a little about Dr. Cheraskin, He is Professor and Chair- man of the Department of Oral Medicine at the University of Alabama in Burmingham and holds numerous scien- tif ic honors for his work' in nutrition and preven- tive, medicine. He has been included in the World's Who's Who in Science since 1966 and is the author of a dozen books. Dr. Cheraskin is a firm believer in preven- tive medicine and after reading a coupleof his books and listening to him speak I must admit I agree with him. I just look at myseif and the people I see ail around me, tired, depressed, irritable or sick most of the time. Then I read the news with ail the murders and suicides. At times it seems like the whole world is falling apart and no one seems to know why. The forecast by medical prognosticators that some twenty million Americans are headed for a nervous break- down and untold millions more are doomed to live ,a shadowy existence in- terrupted by periodic neurotic or psychotic episodes is a gloomy one indeed. Yet that forecast need hlot come true. The nation can en- joy a heaithier future if we can improve our eating habits. I would like to en- courage ail of you to read Dr. Cheraskin's book Ps ychodietetics and decide for yourself whether or not it is wor- th your while looking, in- to nutrition a littie fur- ther. What have you got to lose by reading it, you could come out a win- ner. This book can be obtained through the library or it can be pur- chased at the' book store. I would be in- terested in any com- ments on this book after you have read it. Please drop me a line care of The Canadian Statesman.
