"I think we have gone just about as far as we can go," she said. For example, she believes that the province should take over the full cost of social servic- es (welfare payments, etc) with the Region picking up some of the cost for administering these programs. And in education, she be- lieves the provincial ministry must carry out a cost impact analysis before school boards are told to implement new pro- grams, to find out what the cost will be on property tax payers. "I think the ideas and pro- grams (in education) from the Ministry are fine, but can the taxpayers afford them. We have to find that out first," she said. Mrs. Pearce is a native of the Newcastle area, and moved to Port Perry with her husband and two children in 1985. She agrees that voters in Port Perry are going to ask why she is prepared to give up her seat on local council mid-way through the term. Her answer is that she feels she can be more effective work- ing for people at the Provincial level. Mrs. Pearce is not required to relinquish her seat on council until she is successful in win- ning the riding. If that happens, the Town- ship most likely will ask for ap- plications from Ward 2 resi- dents and the council will select a person to hold the seat for the remainder of the term. Mrs. Pearce had been presi- dent of the Durham East Liber- al Association, but resigned this post before declaring herself a candidate for the nomination. She said she is going to work very hard to win the nomi- nation, and during the election campaign. ownship council is re- cessed until late August, but she said she will continue to tend to Ward 2 duties prior to the nomination meeting and during a campaign. It is widely speculated that Premier David Peterson will announce the election early in August with September 13 the date for Ontario to go to the polls. Mrs. Pearce believes that Mr. Peterson wants a fall elec- tion to secure another majority government and to send a mes- sage to the rest of Canada and the world that despite the con- stitutional problems in the country, Ontario will be stable for the next four years and a place to invest and o business. Consumers may get hefty hydro bill hike Ontario consumers may have to pay more for hydro next year, according to the Munici- . pal Electric Association. In fact, the Association be- lieves rates should rise by 12.8 per cent to help off-set Ontario Hydro's-debt load. In a statement released last week, the Association, which represents municipal hy- dro utilities in Ontario, de- scribes the Crown Corporation debt of just under $35 billion as "unacceptable." Hydro had initially said it would seek a 7.8 per cent in- crease in the cost of power sup- plied to municipal utilities. Hy- dro has since upped that number to 10.5 per cent. But even this figure, the Association says, will not meet Hydro's own criteria for "finan- cial soundness." The information was pre- sented to the Ontario Energy Board hearings into the Hydro rate increases. The Association has calcu- lated that Hydro's debt by next year will climb to just under $35 billion, while its equity will be about $7 billion. In its 300 page brief to the Energy Board, the Association also expressed alarm at Ontario Hydro salary levels. It claims Hydro salaries OSHAWA Stephen J. Sutherland Robert L. Gillies John G.

The Association recom- mends that as a cost-saving measure, Ontario Hydro's bud- get for salaries should be trimmed by $10 million. And it wants Hydro to con- tinue energy efficient programs that will reduce the demand for electricity and off-set shortages that are predicted by the early 's. (From page 1) that if the demand continues the region will extinguish the entire GWA budget and all re- serve funds. An additional. $500,000 will be needed to cov- er the costs. The problem isn't confined to... Durham alone. Repons wets? across the province are experi- encing the same difficulty -- some at an even greater degree. Wentworth, Hamilton, Peel and Kingston all record lower percentage increases in the one year period, but all have a high- er per capita problem, with nearly four per cent of their res- idents relyingon assistance. Councillor Dickerson sug- gested that the proposed feder- al goods and services tax, free trade and the interest rate may be factors affecting the in- crease. "These federal policies are strangling the public," he said. OAK - PINE - MAPLE - EURO KITCHENS - VANITIES COUNTERTOPS Cultured Marble CE Cuisine Expert up to 40% OFF M.S.L. We Install.
