strength in the party in order lo overthrow the Big Blue Hal ton Burlington Provincial Liberal Association held a meet night Monday at the Hot restaurant giving the five leader an opportunity to vie or support Gearing up for the leadership convention are candidates Sheila Hamilton Centre Richard Thomas Jim Kitchener MPP John Sweeny Kitchener MPP and David Peterson London Recently returned from a mile Northern Ontario tour rookie Sheila boasted of her election win not so long ago when she took a beat in the Legislature held by the NDP since 1934 Her first election bid in 1977 she lost by just 17 votes after having only 28 days to campaign She attributes her election victory to getting in volved in local issues not as a Liberal but as a com muni member Miss Copps stressed the need for Liberals to start believing in themselves regain hope of conquer the Tones after their nearly four decades of power We re at a crossroad people are looking for an alternative Miss told the audience She warned the Conservative government will do anything to prop up the to allow them to squeeze in the middle Organize raise money and win is the formula candidate John Sweeny would use in preparing for a IBM election A member of the Legislature since 1975 Mr which recognizes people s needs and meets those needs He claims the people of Ontario don t sec the Lib standing for anything The gov eminent is not to do things for people but to work with them to set up the apparatus pro grams clear the tracks We got to say to the people this is a priority these are things we hold ear and dear he said MPP David Peterson in the riding of London trc like his counterpart Mr Sweeny has been rep resenting his area in the provincial legislature since 1975 He is the man our own Julian Reed is backing in the leadership race The 38yearold led for better party organization We have not been organized Half the ridings in Ontario are not capable of putting up a fair fight No one issue will doit We must form a broad base cor relation said the Liberal finance critic a government we will have to create in whcie people can maximize their ind ividuality but if we don have an economic base all these things come under threat Mr Peterson explained A comprehensive industrial plan and develop ment of hi technology and Communications prod ucts with potential for export he recommends will help strengthen the economy The most unique candidate in this leadership race has to be Richard Thomas a conservationist who although is not a member of the Legislature fell short of securing a seat by six votes in the last incial election in the riding of Parry Sound A Parry Sound p municipal councillor for two terms he operates a farm which produces food fuel crops and is committed to developing renewable energy sources which he claims can make Ontario self sufficient in both food and energy needs allowing for export of these products as well Ontario currently imports B0 per cent of Its fuel and per cent of its food He suggested the method of making the Liberal party the governing body in this province is to encourage the 44 per cent of population of Ontario which did not vote in 1981 to exercise their Iran Why do they not vote The general feeling is it won t do a damn bit of good anyway They feel they don have anyone to vote for who will make changes Kitchener Jim first elected in also feels the new party leader must en courage and challenge people to vote and let them know they can have a change a change they can trust As pointed by the other candidates he bel the Liberal party must be well financed and prepared for thenext election We re looking at the position this party is going lobe placed In the next election he said Currently the critic for the Attorney General and for Justice policy he told the assembled association members I know the province and the party and what makes it tick 1 have proven my ability Hydro may spend 10000 put tower farther from road Ontario Hydro is looking at spending approx extra so a microwave lower can be erected far off the Fifth Line of Erin Township Spokesperson Brenda Harris said there is no question they feel the one acre site on the Fifth Concession Lots and is the best site has taken out an option on this site but that mean the final decision Is cut and dried She explained Hydro won have to go through a hearing but it must have to the site from everyone in the area It takes longer this way but once you gel agreement you ve got the If Hydro can I secure agreement for the site from all the neighbors then another site will have to be selected Mrs Harris explained technical engineers said the site was the best of all the possibilities examined in the Acton Erin and Ihcy thought the tower should be located about 100 feet off the road However neighbors expressed concern about the being located so close to the road They would find the tower more acceptable if it was fartherofftheroad Mrs Harris said Hydro agrees with the neighbors that the tower would look better further from the road It would cost an extra for the tower project if the tow was further from the roar because a longer cess road would be needed and power must be put into the maintenancecontrol building Despite the extra cost Hydro is willing to examine this option since It would make Hie tower more acceptable to the neighbors More and more you will see Ontario try lo accommodate people living around our ilitles being more sensitive to their concerns It definitely a trend she declared If this site is accepted by neighbors then the tower won need to be painted red and white or require flashing red light other possible tower sites would require this treatment Hydro is working on a montage to show neighbors how the completed lower would look in relation to the area for Ihenext meeting with residents cops have HEART By TERRY To keep pice with the pulse of a growing com munity Halton Regional Police will soon be
