More seats will be created in the Provincial Legislature, increasing the number from 125 to 130, an event which will occur after August 31, 1986. These changes will greatly affect 51 ridings, while slightly altering 58 ridings and leaving 16 untouched. This act is a result of three years of review by the Ontario Electoral Boundaries Commission comprised of the Honorable Mp. Justice Samuel Hughes, Members, of the High' Gburt of ' Justice for the Province of Ontario, Mr. Warren Bailie, Chief Election Officer of Ontario and Professor J. Neville Thompson, Associate Professor of History at the University of Western Ontario. This Commission took into consideration a number of factors, including population trends, existing boundaries, condition ,and requirements with respect to urban and rural representation and the needs of the communities and individuals. The hearings and review which were conducted throughout Ontario, were finally concluded in 1984 with the Commission suggesting, among other things, that there should be between 125 and 130 ridings with at least 15 being situated in Northern Ontario. The new boundaries for the Durham area will be as follows: 1. Ajax and Pickering comprise Durham West. 2. Durham East will be those parts of Oshawa and Whitby situated north of Taunton Road, as well as the Township of Manvérs, previously part of the Vi cto*r Ig aH al i bur ton Region,.... Newcastle and Scugog, formerly of Durham York. 3. A new riding of Durham Centre will be formed to encompass a large portion of the Oshawa area, namely south of Taunton, north of King and west of Ritson and the Town of Whitby, south of Taunton Road. 4. The riding of Oshawa will be that area east of Ritson, south of Taunton and the remaining portion of Oshawa south to Lake Ontario. I hope that this article has adequately informed you of the changes to occur, thereby avoid confusion at the election polls when voters are confronted with new riding names and boundaries. In the near future, I plan to alter the position of my Riding office in Oshawa to reflect the redistribution, when that is completed. I will inform you accordingly.

The Lung Association in Durham Region will offer a special program this Fall, designed to help pre-schoolers with asthma. Located at the Ontario Regiment (R.C.A.C.), Officer's Mess in Oshawa this three week, six session course will be held from 6:00 -7:30 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday Wednesday evenings, beginning Monday, Monday, October 6th. Based on highly successful program development by the Utah Lung Association, the course teaches various simple self-care techniques which help three to five year olds keep their asthma in check. These techniques are basically the breathing and body relaxation methods taught by the Lung Association Association to older children and adult asthma sufferers. What is new, however, is the translation translation of these methods into a format that can be understood by very young children. Through gaming, modeling and imaging, the children are taught to use their stomach muscles and diaphragm to breath more easily during an asthma episode. Parents and children also learn how to reduce the anxiety and tension that often contribute to the severity of an attack. Program Co-ordinator, Donna Worden, stresses that these methods are not intended intended to replace correct medication, medication, which is vital for the continuing maintenance of a severe asthmatic. What can be achieved 4s a reduction of the number and severity of attacks. During the program, children children and moms meet such friends as "Clippy Doll" (a cardboard and paperclip doll used to teach floppy relaxation relaxation movements) and "Hot Botts" (a hot water bottle inside a soft cloth covering). Jumpy Ball, Step Up - Step Down and Rag Doll Game are other important components in this new service for Durham's Durham's young asthmatics.

At this time, only one meeting in Ontario is scheduled. scheduled. In a letter to council, Mr. Keene said the purpose of that meeting is to decide whether an electronic monitoring device should replace the caboose at the end of freight trains. He argues that the one meeting in Toronto isn't sufficient sufficient to determine if the caboose can actually be replaced replaced by machines. Mr. Keene said some of the facts presented by those lobbying for the machines are questionable. "The United Transportation Transportation Union and other concerned concerned groups believe this technology has yet to be perfected and that the elimination of the caboose and its crew will further compromise the safety of rail transportation in Canada." Canada." The letter adds that lobbyists lobbyists for the End of Train Information System (ETIS) say it will save millions of dollars each year. But Mr. Keene remains skeptical and said members of the UTU want a series of hearings before they'll allow railway companies to end "one of the prime current current safety features of our rail system -- the caboose and crew members at the rear of the train."
