Toastmasters learn to polish the art of introductions and how to make others feel welcome and comfortable. r A form of introduction encountered daily is the introduction of two individuals. It should be done easily and graciously without too much ceremony. Speak clearly and concisely because you are providing a bridge between people who have, never met before. In a formal situation it is correct ot say,"May i present" or "May I introduce" (if the person is unknown, they are introduced; introduced; if they are known to the other party, they are presented). Using the word "meet" by itself when introducing introducing people is not considered good form, but you may say, "I would like you to meet" or "I want you to meet". When responding to an introduction, say "How do you do" and/ or repeat the person's name. "I am delighted to meet you," "I am glad to meet you," or "It is my delight to meet you" are more friendly responses. Avoid phrases such as "Charmed," "It's a pleasure," or "I am glad to know you." A handshake is frequently used for introductions. It's a custom that says a lot about us as individuals. To be effective, the handshake should be firm and meaningful; but don't pump the arm. Look directly at the person and smile. It's discourteous not to accept an extended hand, TM Irene Konzelmann chaired the first meeting of the new year. TM Walter Piersma guided the members through Table Topics, the theme of which was New Year's Resolutions.

Bowmanville Toastmasters meet every Tuesday at the Lions Centre at 7:30 p.m. "I'm very pleased to make this announcement. We've been working for three months to get a hearing for residents of this area before this task force," says Wilbur. Wilf Day of Port Hope, president of the Durham- Northumberland New Democrats, said the local party's presentation will follow a resolution passed unanimously by local New Democrats at a Bowmanville meeting January 7th. The local resolution seeks to clarify NDP nuclear policy. It calls for wastes to be stored where there will be the least possible social, economic and environmental impact. Nuclear power would be phased out over the long run as alternatives become economically viable, with full protection for the 31,000 employees in the nuclear industry. The New Democrats' Task Force on the Future of Nuclear Energy has held hearings in Toronto and Vancouver already. Hearings in Manitoba are scheduled for January 26 and 27. Resolution on Nuclear Energy WHEREAS the party's policy on nuclear energy needs more detailed direction to take all aspects of this subject into account ; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the New Democratic Party of Canada : 1. would develop and enforce a stringent safety program to be rigorously applied to those nuclear projects already in operation, to act on the serious risks to nuclear workers and the general population from both leaks and possible serious accidents; 2. under public ownership of the uranium industry, would cancel all export contracts to any country found violating strict nonproliferation safeguards; 3. would establish and enforce strict criteria for mine abandonment, site rehabilitation, and waste disposal; seek suitable sites for disposal of low-level wastes where there will be the least possible social, economic and environmental impact; and ensure that both high- level and low-level wastes are safely stored and easily monitored; 4. would create a special fund to be supported by a tax on sales of vellowcake to be used to provide for the future of the communities affected by mine abandonment, including: (a) stabilization and revegetation of tailing areas, (b) compensation for employees with cancer and other uranium mining related diseases, (c) funding research in environmental and worker protection, and (d) compensation for persons who would be indirectly, affected by all aspects of the nuclear industry including native people and persons affected downstream from nuclear facilities, and one- industry communities ; 5. advocates the establishment of an extensive publicly-financed program for the development of renewable energy resources and of effective energy conservation and efficiency-enhancing measures, with particular emphasis on renewable forms such as solar, wind and biomass, offering an approach to future energy needs which would be more comprehensive and effective, as well as safer than nuclear energy ; 6. opposes further nuclear energy projects until such time as the safe disposal of wastes and the safety of the projects themselves can be assured, and when a definite need for such projects can be clearly demonstrated that cannot be satisfied by hydroelectric hydroelectric or other environmentally environmentally acceptable sources, and would not turn Canada into a nuclear powerhouse to serve the United States electrical market; 7. would phase out or shut down existing facilities when environmentally acceptable alternatives are available and economically viable; and 8. would not implement policies leading to a reduction in employment in the nuclear industry, with its 31,000 direct jobs, unless and until any employees to be displaced are guaranteed the opportunity for alternative employment at comparable wages through measures including fully paid retraining, relocation assistance, full compensation for losses in housing values, and pension portability, and the communities affected are guaranteed protection from the impact of a shutdown.

The Residential Rent Regulation Act, 1986, extends the protection of rent review to cover all tenants in private rental units in Ontario. This includes buildings, mobile homes and mobile home sites first occupied as rental units after 1975. Tenants in post-75 units: obtaining a rent rebate. • If the landlord of a post-75 unit has not made an application to rent review by March 2,1987, the tenant is entitled to a rebate of rents paid above the 4 per cent Guideline between August 1,1985, and December 31,1986. • If the landlord does not voluntarily pay the tenant the rebate owing, the tenant is advised to file an application with the local Rent Review Office for an order requiring the landlord landlord to pay the rebate. • If the tenant is certain of the amount of the rebate, the tenant may deduct the amount from a rent cheque. Requirements for landlords of post-75 units. • Landlords who have charged tenants more than the 4 per cent Guideline from August 1, 1985, to December 31,1986, have until March 2, 1987, to apply to rent review to justify these rent increases. • Tb apply, a landlord must file an application form and supporting information with the local Rent Review Office, showing that the rent increases were justified. • Landlords who apply to justify these rent increases must give a copy of their application to all of their tenants within 10 days of applying. applying. Tbnants are entitled to examine all the materials filed and to make submissions to tho local Rent Review Office. • Landlords who do not apply to rent review on or before March 2,1987, must rebate excess rents charged to tenants between August 1, 1985, and December 31,1986. For more information, call toll-free 1-800-387-9060, or phone your local Rent Review Office: I n the past, tenants living in units which first came on the market after 1975 - post-75 units - were not protected by rent review. Under the new legislation, tenants living in post-75 units are now protected by rent review along with all other tenants in private rental units in Ontario. As well, the provisions extending rent review to cover post-75 units are retroactive to August 1,1985. This means that the four per cent Guideline which was in place from August 1,1985, to December 31,1986, applied to post-75 units during this period. Thus, landlords who charged tenants of post-75 units more than the four per cent Guideline during this period must now justify those rent increases or refund to tenants the difference between four per cent and the higher amount charged. Tenants in post-75 units: do not make immediate deductions from your rent For the present, tenants living in post-76 îinits should pay the amount requested in the notice by their landlord until the matter is resolved through rent review. Under no circumstances should tenants make immediate deductions from their rent cheques because an illegal deduction could lead to eviction by the Courts. Landlords of post-75 units who have already served notice of a rent increase above the 1987 Guideline: Under the new legislation, the Rent Review Guideline for the year 1987 is 5.2 per cent. Some landlords of post-75 units have already served tenants with notice of a rent increase effective on or after January 1,1987, which exceeds the 5.2 per cent Guideline. These landlords also have until March 2, 1987, to apply to rent review for approval of a 1987 rent increase above the 5.2 per cent Guideline. If the landlord applies to rent review, tenants will receive a copy of the application and be given a full opportunity to participate in the rent review process. If the landlord does not apply to rent review and the time period for doing so expires, the landlord must rebate the difference between 5.2 per cent and the higher amount charged during 1987.
