The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, January 22,1994 3 From Page 1 government is looking at setting up an environmental advisory group to do the same things the local group would do. However, the report from Planning Planning Director Frank Wu's department department states: "A committee at the re- Fire Department is Flooded with Calls For Ruptured Pipes Ruptured water pipes resulted in a flood of extra calls for firefighters this past week when temperatures plummeting plummeting to frigid below-zero levels virtually virtually all week. Both Bowmanville and Newcastle stations responded to a report of a burst pipe at the Newcastle Health Care Centre on Sunday, January 16th, at 7:15 p.m. Lines connected to the walk-in freezer in the kitchen apparently froze and cracked, spilling hot water into the basement area and filling the halls with steam. Residents at the Health Care Centre Centre were not evacuated and there were no injuries reported. Fire crews opened windows and cleared the building of steam using portable exhaust fans. A plumber and maintenance worker worker were called to shut down and repair the unit. Firefighters were on the scene for more than an hour. gional level may not be adequate to deal with local needs, particularly in those areas where environmental projects are initiated at the local level." level." A couple of the examples given were the Environment Fair and waste reduction efforts. Councillor David Scott said, "I would feel very uncomfortable referring referring items from my ward to this (regional) committee." Councillor Scott predicted the problems in Clarington would "be in real danger of getting lost in the shuffle." Councillor Scott likened the idea of a local advisory committee to having an Economic Development Officer in Clarington. He noted that Clarington's EDO will work for Clarington, not the eight municipalities. municipalities. The Regional Economic Department, Department, on the other hand, serves all eight regional municipalities. Wu told the group the regional advisory committee information is supposed to be reported on within a couple of months. Councillor John O'Toole asked the committee "not to act too hastily" hastily" by approving this report. In agreeing with Councillor O'Toole, Councillor Scott said: "We. need to hear from the environmental groups --- perhaps input from delegations delegations at die next committee meeting." meeting." The next GP&A meeting is Monday, Monday, Feb. 7, and local environmental groups are being encouraged to attend attend as delegations.

SECURING YOUR FUTURE MEANS STARTING NOW By Dennis Beere Manager, Bowmanville Branch Toronto Dominion Bank Financial planning has taken on a new urgency in Canada, as more and more realize that maintaining a comfortable lifestyle in retirement will depend on their own individual resources. This is largely due to demographic trends: the general population is getting older; the ranks of retirees are expanding rapidly; Canada's huge "baby boomer" generation is now facing retirement within the next twenty years; and a growing proportion of people are retiring younger and living longer than previous generations. These demographic trends mean that retirees will need more income for à longer period - at a time when government resources are dwindling. High government debts and deficits are limiting governments' ability to provide assistance to the elderly at a time when tax burdens and health care costs are likely to rise. That means that it's more important than ever to plan an investment and savings program - and to set it in motion as early as possible. Ideally, people start in their twenties, making the maximum RRSP and pension contributions, and invest a major portion of their funds in a broadly diversified portfolio of equities for the long term growth potential. Over the next forty years, they should shift the balance of the portfolio to lower risk income bearing investments, such as bonds, money market funds, and GIC's. Leading financial institutions now offer a full and competitive range of savings and investment products and mutual funds to fit into every conceivable plan. There is no sure fire formula for a successful financial plan - it varies from individual to individual, and depends on your personal means and needs. Regardless of your current circumstances, it pays to talk to a qualified investment counsellor or financial advisor - to develop a plan that is right for you. With RRSP season approaching, it makes sense to get underway now: ask your banker to refer you to an investment counsellor - and feel free to call TD's Green Infolinc at 623-2514, if you need further information.
