the HERALD Home Newspaper of Halton Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown 3ZG Ontario GARNET COWSILL Publisher and General Manager Court order ban is ludicrous J STEVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Phone 877 Page SECTION A THE HERALD July Election talk Trying to make points with who knows who MPP Cam Jackson is talking political blarney these How else can you explain his senseless name calling over Bill which has created a new riding tor Hills Like a Mississippi steamboat which chugs along slowly but blows off a lot of steam Mr Jackson seems to be ex pending a lot of preelection energy for nought The Burlington South MPP isn happy with a Halton North riding for the next provincial election Halton Hills and Milton will be linked together replacing the old Halton Burlington riding currently held by Don Most importantly he s angry some of his Burlington residents will be represented in a riding consisting primarily of Oakville constituents South Mr Jackson feels a name petition supporting a complete Burlington riding plus the lack or transit links or common media coverage are solid reasons to oppose Bill 77 A Conservative he blames Liberal Don Knight for deserting Burlington constituents and serving own personal interests then chastises him for not doing his job the Burlington part of his riding We think it s nonsense a political riding has to be joined together by transit links or common media coverage Hills by this criteria has never enjoyed such lux and we ve survived nicely Similarly at the Federal level Brampton Georgetown has been an effective mited riding and Georgetown has not been left out in the cold By examining the federal PC riding association executive some might say Georgetown is over represented Rather than criticize Mr Knight for voting for Bill perhaps Mr Jackson should look at his own personal motives in the matter It sounds like election talk to us Stumped for answers Another cherished old section of town lias given way to the bulldozer and work crews Mountamview Road from the southwest corner of Domi Seed House property along to the Greenwood Cemetery has been scarred Power lines and street lighting have been moved back to make way for a five lane widening of the road That in itself is not such a bad transition Full of potholes and dangerous for pedestrians Mountamview Road north of Guelph Street needed widening curbs and proper asphalt But we re lamenting the loss of those beautiful full grown trees that are a part of old Georgetown By comparison that stretch of road now looks like a scene from Neil Armstrong s first walk on the moon plus the cars and hydro wires of course We re not suggesting an alternative method could have saved the majestic giants along But p of town already look too barren without the benefit of grown maples or oaks Guelph Street in places is a good example of how a road can appear to be the toaconcretejungle Compare Georgetown to London s Forest City and there a world of difference Somehow London has managed to live alongside nature without disturbing it In the meantime we 11 have to wail for the young tender trees to grow replacing the tall proud stands which are now all in town past Decimated by car off thoughtlessly in cylindrical cubes clumped into bunches to be carried of for such an unceremonious indifferent way to be plucked from the ground Learned the hard way I suppose more ludicrous things have happened than banning of a news report by a Quebec Superior Court judge But coming up with some concrete examples takes a bit of head scratching docsntiC fortunately or perhaps un fortunately the ban didn lost long and now listeners from coast to coast know what was in that report from the royal commission on the Canadian sealing Industry It could be considered unfortunate because the lifting of the ban deprives us of a court hearing when presumably some judicial authority would have assailed this repugnant form of censorship and helped ensure it wouldn happen again The injunction to prohibit the CBC from airing contents from the royal commission report was successfully sought by the commission chairman Albert before Quebec Superior Court Judge Charles It was a speedy decision made without hearing representation from and brought into effect lust before the airing of the national news But apparently what none of the participants realized at the time was that this news goes to Atlantic Canada an hour earlier the in formation from he royal si on report already was aired in that region Naturally that the area most affected by the sealing in Six Canadian amateur athletes learned he hard way last week Federal sports minister Otto Jellnek intends to stand by his convictions concerning the use of drugs Mr cut off government funding to he six three track competitors and three weight lifters for their use of anabolic steroids Steroids which contain the hormone testosterone help an athlete s strength Mr Jellnek decision on the fun ding ban comes almost a year be the governments policy on drug use At that time Mr policy stated any Canadian athlete who teated positively for such substances as steroids would be banned for life for federal financial or any other kind of assistance The decision by Mr to i send financial aid to the athletes is a landmark one which Is to be com mended There comes a lime when there is enough talk and action must follow in order for all Involved to ly understand the governing body Is serious In its intentions All athletes were aware of the con sequences they d face If caught with chemical substances In their system Despite that knowledge these individuals elected to defy the rules and subsequently were dealt with In a very severe manner Mr Jelineks decision on the drug Issue comes at a somewhat ap propriate time In past months the sports world has lost two Tine athletes Bias and Don Rodgers due to cocaine use and Wednesday night an American television station reran a segment on former Pittsburgh Steelers Tampa Buccaneers offensive lineman Steve Courson and his long term use of steroids For about 10 years Mr Courson used steroids to help him get stronger In preparation for the war offensive linemen go through while In the trenches Mr Courson was at raining camp last year when during physical the Bucs doctor examined the lineman results and notelced Mr Courson heart was beating at 16a beats per minute The danger pre sent was Mr incur heart failure that would leave him dead in a matter of minutes This all ment was due to his prolonged use of steroids Mr outlined how at the age of IS when he first started taking steroids particularly his weight Jumped pounds and bench press Increased pounds in just a week At time of his medical scare Courson was in week three of a 16week steroids cycle Us difficult for the average per son to understand why Intelligent young people persist in using drugs tor the objective or Improving themselves In athletic activities The drawbacks of using steroids in elude kidney and liver failure and ultimately death Yet still athletes persist in using them The sports ministers decision on the issue was commendable tie outlined his policy and enforced it when push came to shove Those In volvecf knew of the risks persisted and now have been punished However its such a waste though A waste of the time and dedication a national calibre athlete must have in order to achieve such a status A true waste Indeed So the ban had the effect of preventing the from telling listeners west of New Brunswick what it had already old its listeners and viewers in Newfoundland and the Mart times apart from this ridiculous aspect of the court ordered ban there Is absolutely no justification for any judge granting an Injunction for the reasons offered Chairman Malouf himself a judge of he Quebec Court of Appeal said in his petition that the CBC story if broadcast could cause suffering hardship and financial loss in he scaling industry an Industry which ironically has had nothing hardship and financial loss for the last half dozen years It was also argued that revealing the report prematurely like this It still hadnt been turned over to the federal might result in Inaccuracies and because it was still a confidential document it was urgent thai on in junction be Issued Not knowing the report had already been aired in one part of country Judge granted the Injunction When it was discovered the follow morning lhat Atlantic Canada knew all about the report a contents and that at least four newspapers also had the information the Ion was promptly lifted If the implications wercn so serious It would be funny one can t laugh very much when a court judge bans the dissemination of news on he grounds offered in his case OPENS FLOODGATES With the appropriate scorn which Is being heaped on the decision it probably won be repealed But the fact Is a judge has created a Cana dian precedent by Issuing a gag order on unacceptably flimsy grounds To suggest that something shouldn be revealed merely because It Is confidential would effectively eliminate half the news from Ottawa About the only things not marked confidential around here arc the cafeteria menus As for the report possibly causing hardship and financial loss that also stretches the imagination when one considers the condition of todays sealing Industry The commission chairman knows better than anyone THE GOOD NEWS IS FISHERMEN NO LONGER WANT TO CATCH US Citizens forum No reasonable effect This letter addressed to Don Knight was filed with The Hernia for publication As member of your constituency I feel obliged to express my con regarding Bill The Canada Act was first introduced by then Liberal Health Minister Begin With the consent of all three major political parties Act was unconstitutional since health matters were on the Provincial One short year prior to thai David Peterson was quoted as saying lhat extra billing was necessary in order to maintain health care excellence Conveniently wishing to comply with Federal Law Mr Peterson found It politically advantageous to change his view thus signing an accord with BobRac As a result of these Bill was passed in the Ontario Legislature on June of this year Health Care accessibility is a fine concept However the wording of the health core accessibility Bill in fringes on the rights of both patients and doctors Doctors no longer have the right to provide their patients with the best health care possible if the Hospital s Global budget can allow for it Patients no longer have the option of paying for necessary treatment when walling for months or years may prove detrimental to their health As a patient I feel that dcci regarding my medical needs arc no longer In the hands of my physician but rather In the hands of the government accountants must congratulate Doctors and for taking Ihe time lo arrange a public forum to Inform patients of the ramifications of Bill I understand previous commitments made it impossible for you to attend that forum Mr June following passage of Jill W there were a number of your constituents among the patients dressed in black who were pro testing outside the legislature building A wave and Its Federal Law in response to the question of why you support Bill in my is not a reasonable effort to communicate with the people you as our were supposed to be representing Sincerely Maria Georgetown Herald Dr Knight would you be willing to pre sent your views at a public forum on the daleof your choice Give me liberty Dear Mr Merv has won an historic victory in the Supreme Court of On for the individual freedom of millions of Canadian workers Justice John White has ruled that the use of compulsory dues for pur poses other than collective bargain cannot be justified In a free and democratic society Ills victory Is proof lhat the Utile guy can stilt get justice in Canada even when opposed by the might of big unionism Although he was not alone his court challenge was backed by thousands of supporters of Ihe National Citizens Coalition it was an uphill battle all the way The scope of the victory Is huge More than three million Canadian workers are forced to pay more than SI 3 billion in dues each year to unions John Fryer president of the National Union of Provincial Government Employees estimates that aHi of dues are used to sup port political parties and causes If ties right lhat could mean a union elite Is funnelling about million Into political act Ion each year We feel strongly that Canadians should not be compelled to support political views with which they disagree We agree with John Milton Give me the liberty lo know to utter and to argue according to con science above nil liberties To Merv Lavlgnc and all those Canadians from sea o sea who sup ported him we can only say thank for standing up for freedom Sincerely Colin Brown President

a call at your earliest convenience Phone Yours truly Robert M Johnston Director Agricultural Socie ty else contained in his report and unless there are appendices thai have so far escaped reporters eyes no further suffering or hardship is indicated Who I recommended we arc told is compensation of about million former sealers lhat the hunting of harp seal pups should be banned lhat seals are not an en species that the seal hunt is not as Inhumane as we ve been led to belle There arc no doubt kilograms of other material but how it might cause suffering hardship Isn t easy to fathom As for the early release of in formation possibly resulting in jour errors let not permit to ever get into the courtroom The next logical step or if you prefer logical step would be an Injunction on al stories speculating on what might be in the next throne speech or the next budget As we know from painful ex these stones quite often Induce the public error Just imagine for a moment the that would have ensued if Trudeau during his lost two years in office had successfully sought an in Junction against reporters saying he was just about to retire And surely the departure of a prime minister whether confidential or not has as much urgency as the future of an already dormant Industry Frankly I have enough rouble writing far editors let alone l hi judiciary History from our files THIRlYYfcAKSAlU
