What the new study will do is legitimize the ailments reported by residents living in close proximity to the refinery. A survey late last year asked residents about the impact of the refinery on their lives and the results saw people comâ€" plaining of everything from nausea, sore throats, dizzy spells and respiratory problems to backaches. Clearly these complaints are not being invented by the respondents. It was nice to see Town Council shelve any development on the Shell lands 3 $ 2 e on nc t oo ECAE en One of the problems in quantifying the impact of emissions is that smell cannot be adequately measured and so while it won‘t measure as an emission, odor from the refinery does cause nausea. Anyone who doubts this should spend some time in the area, especially during the bot and humid days of sumâ€" mer. is Particularly frustrating to area residents is the fact that the emissions from the refinery are well within the Ontario Ministry of Environment guidelines. ooo t es ie oo en Even if this latest sfhdy cannot help those affected by the refinery now, it could stop any new residential development in the area that has the potential for further exacerbating an alreadyâ€"existing problem. Parizeau thought he had the byâ€"election in the bag since he had won the last few byâ€"elections. Now, all of a sudden, all bets are off as to which party will emerge victorious in the Quebec election. Ne l it 14 )A ud h ain ced ces hi t in on Ever since the resignation of Liberal Premier Robert Bourassa, Parizeau has said it was the beginning of the end for the provincial Liberals and the start of Quebec independence with Parizeau as the new heirâ€"apparent to Quebec‘s top political job. enc o P 2 ESm . And even when recenrt”;;'lrs said the majonl'iiy of Quebéckers would vote Liberal provincially, Parizeau refused to believe the findings. Perhaps now he‘ll start realizâ€" ing that his quest for independence is still anything but certain. 42c Mn Te C CCC wl esd n c The inherent political pragmatism of Quebeckers is a force Parizeau still doesn‘t understand. To most Quebec voters, they are just now starting to realize the politiâ€" cal power they have and they‘re more likely to stick with that power than to cast their lot in with the untried Parizeau and company. When you break down Quebec‘s influence on the Canadian political scene, you see that they have the best of all worlds. The prime minister Jean Chretien is a Quebecker, the leader of the opposition is a Quebecker who holds voting power to make life miserable for the ruling Liberals. Havingms'een the federal Liberals sweep the country in the last general election, no doubt Quebeckers are starting to wonder if it‘s not better to hedge their bets and vote in a provincial Liberal government. WWe 2 Vc kh 9e oo § “i)uebcrc has long been the dumping ground of federal government largesse in an attempt to win the electorate. And no doubt this will continue, especially as the provincial election day gets closer. es Pfi e mt So where once it looked like Parizeau would walk into power, it now appears he will be for a major political fight. Trying to convince Quebeckers to take a chance at independence will be harder than Parizeau ever imagined. Did the federal budget go far enough to deal with Canada‘s debt? Yes: 6 No: 6 Something in the air he victory of a Quebec Liberal over a highlyâ€"regarded Parti Quebecois canâ€" didate shows, once again, that nothing in politics is as volatile as the Quebec electorate.

Oakville restaurateurs and proprietors are hangâ€" ing fire on the forecast jump of coffee by the cup due to increased wholesale prlces but in general agree they will try to keep prices at 10 cents per cup. W Mrs. Michael Solich of Stainton‘s Snack Bar on Kerr Street said the wholesale price of coffee has reached $1.09 per pound and that she didn‘t know what was going to come of it. "I guess we‘ll do the same as everyone else," said Mrs. Sohch "However, the price is still 10 cents a cup and there‘s no marked decrease in the number of coffee drinkers." John Foster, of the Victory Restaurant, who is the only one to sell coffee at five cents per cups, says he is seriously considering puttmo his prices up because of the jump in wholesale prices. "I think I‘ll stick to my guns, though,"" he said, " and keep the price at five cents for a while longer. I think it has a psychological effect and it‘s building up my clientele even though I‘m operating at a loss. I can remember the wholesale price was 50 cents per pound. It‘s more than double that now." ApacEs OF THE PAST Alook back at the events that made headiines in Oakvile. 30 years ago Oakville mailman Peter Strickland‘s pets became permanent residents at the Buffalo Zoo. The 37 pets, including alligators, caymen and Nile crocodiles were relocated after a Supreme Court judgement in Milton ordered the removal of the reptiles from Strickland‘s property and fined him $4,500. Justice Schatz ruled that Strickland‘s neighâ€" bors had suffered loss of enjoyment of their propâ€" erties due to his disregard of previous court orders to get rid of the reptiles.
