2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, February l6th, 1982 Secod CanaMa itaion Number 0OM368 PubIisIId Every Wdneýday at the officeof Publicationl Main Street, Orono R.v c. Fom... ,Editor A Refreshing Positive Approach C.H. Johnson, President of Goodyear Canada Inc., had a lot to be proud of last Thursday at a Bowmanville news con- ference announcing increased sales and increased profits for the company in the year ending 1981. Although well aware of the downturn in the economy and providing his opinion that it would continue througbout 1982 hie was optimistie that the company would increase sales and profits in 1982. It,was refreshing ta bear a positive approach by industry to cope with the economic climate that now exists. Johnson said the key to success had been good management along witb increased productivity and successful efforts to in- crease exports abroad. He welcomed competition from foreign producers and looked towards the reduction of duties naw under negotiations through the GATT' agreement. It would open more oppartunities for export and imports which are part of the Goodyear operation. The duty reductions could well establish a free market with many other countries. It well appears that C.H. Johnson and his Board of Direc- tors have accepted the challenge of the present economîic climate and throughout the operation of. the company have provided a positive approach ta business resulting in a suc- cessful operation. This we need more of in Canada today for it is through in- dustrial expertise that the greatest accomplishments will be made in off setting the downturn in the economy. Placing Dollars Before The Environnient Ontario Hydro in their effort ta produce coal-fired electrici- ty for export to the northern United States is placing a dollar value against the healtb and welfare of this province. One of the prime concerns of the environnment at this. time is that, of total pollution fram wbat bas been termed as acid rain The Hydro proposaI will only increase this contamination and place Ontario and Canada in a precariaus position in their ef- forts to have thse U.S. control their industrial pollutants from coal-fired plants. Ontauio Hydro bas stated that there is a dollar value ta hydro users ini Ontario by baving Hydro produce thse coal-fired electricity for export. They have also stated that if Ontario Hydro does not produce the export electricity the U.S. coin- panies will do sa creating pollutants in any case and Hydro feels they have the expertise to produce power at a reduced level of pollution. Ontario Hydro b as, in many cases, not shown a great exper- tise i long-term planning. A number of years ago in an effort to meet thse problem or pollution from the Hearn coal-fired generatig plant in Toronto Ontario Hydro's solution was to extend the smoke stack upwards with the only result of disper- sing thse pollutants aver a wider area. Along aur lakefront we have a next ta useless transmission lîne, a closed Wesleyville generating plant mothballed before it even came into production as well plans to close Lennox generating plant. The long-termn plans are less than impressive. We have been lead to believe by Ontario Hydro over the past years that nuclear generation was the cheapest, the safest and cleanest and yet for expert they resort to coal-fired. It is hard te understand. Only last week 118 memrbers of Parliamient and 21 Senators petitîoned both Prime M-inister Trudeau and Premier Davis to urge them to oppose thse scheme to export coal-fired power to thse U.S. The Federal environmient ministry bas also opposed thse application ta the National Energy Board who are now hearing the application by Ontario Hydro. It is a matter of dollars for Ontario Hydro users we are sure thse same could be accomplished with considerable ease through some formn of control in Ontario Hydro expenditures and with no tbreat of increased pollution. High ligh t Clarke High Schol by Jim Devins Right now we are ithse tough part of aur lives. Despite wbat somne aduits say, beýing a teenager is really taugbh. There are mare pressures on aur generation than there were- in ise previaus genera- tion. Noïv -a-days, teenagers are exposed ta a lot more of thse family's fLnancial pro- blems, etc. Divorce rates bave increas- ed tremnendousiy in the Iast ten years. Many people agree thiat it is thse cbiidren that. suf- fer the most. It is taugb ta ac- cept the fact that tbe people wbo braugbt you up, the two people wbam you lave and respect, are splitting up. In most cases, tIse kids must choase sides. Only being able ta see the parent wbom you are not living with for a cou- pie of haurs a week could be torture. it cars be mare dif- ficuit ta accept'a new step- mather or step-fatber. Teenage pregniancy and abortions are aiso on tbe in- crease. A young girl discover- ing she is pregnant anl a young man discovering hè is the father suffer traumnatic experiences. Unempioyed parents cause bardships for ail memnbers of the family. More adults, teenagers and cbildren bave to do witbout because of the large amount of layoffs and the lack of jobs. A student will also bave a bard tîme fin- ding a job to help out finan- cially. Youtbs bave more pressures at scbool now. It is vital that eacb student keeps bis or ber marks up and get as much education as.possible. The jobs our -parents got wben tbey were in grade 8 are not available to us until we are in grade 12. Saying "NO" to piers is really difficult wben it comnes ta drinking, and drugs. At times, saying, "NO" ta friends can mean that you won't have frîends any longer. When problems such as these arise, youtbs find tbemselves in a corner with no one ta talk ta. Parents bhave enougb problems of their awn- and sometimes teachers as well as friends are not as understanding as we'd like tbem ta be. A national body of school trustees want ta set up a 24 bour-a-day hotline to belp young people cape. It is easier, at times, ta talk toaa total stranger in times of distress. Rubymay Parrott, Presi- dent of the Canadian Scbool Trustees Association, said that the foundation plans ta: 1. Establisb crisis centres, equipped witb around-tbe- dlock botlines manned by volunteers to belp people suf- fering from stress caused by scbool, unemployment, drugs, famîly break-up or un- wanted pregnancy. 2. Produce'a film on stress and its effects on young peo- pIe. 3. Mount a radio advertisîng campaîgn about stress and bow ta deal with it. 4. Gather more statîstics on tbe effects of stress on youtb. 1Unfortunately, this project will cost $1 .2 million . The success of the project would depend on bow long it takes ta raise money from business, goverilment, and private sources. This would bopefully stop, young people from turnîng in increasing numbers ta drugs, vandalism and suicide because tbey can't cape witb a complex world in whicb traditional values are under attack.i Robert Spencer, the Chair- man of the Toronto board of Education feels that trustees would be more successful in establisbing programs, show- ing their own students and parents bow ta cape. He also feels that youtbs, sbould recognize the world economnic order. Spencer said that the scboal trustees nor the new foundation ca-n change the unbealtby econamyý. In stating tbat boards will use tbe new foundation ta evade thier own respon- sibilities, be said, " 1 j ust wisb tbey'd look at tbeir own boards and the services tbey're flot now providing. We don't need aniother study. 1 onfly agree witb Spencer an one point. The trustees Teachers Kendal and News Board long way to go District 49 of the Ontario Secondary Schiool Teachers' Federation representing secondary teachers in the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Educa- tion jurisdiction will sit dawn with the Board in negotia- tions of the 1982-83 contract. The meeting wilI take place wthin the next three weeks. At this point the teachers and board have yet to settle their contract negatiations for 1981-82 which have been underway since February of 1981. It is felt that very little will be accomplisbed on the talks for the 82-83 contract until such time as 81-82 con- tract is settled. It bas been reported that District 49 bas notified the Board that it will withdraw front the 81-82 cantract talks and turn negotiations over to its provincial negotiators. A second mediator bas been appointed to bring the two sides together and is ex- pected to caîl a meeting in the near future. The former mediator. withdrew bis ser- vices in June of 198 1. He was fallowed by the appointment of a governiment fact-finder wbo issued a report on the deadlock contract talks. In the meantime the elementary teachers and board bave signed a two-year contract giving the teachers 12 percent in the first year and il percent in the second year. Dunham Ashton (Continued from page 1) Mayor Rickard did state that the letter was addressed to bim and not to council: 1Counc. Hubbard pointed out that council bad a legal and binding contract with Dunham and Ashton and suggested to the Mayor that he should be contacting the Town's counisel. Mayor Rickard did say that it was not likely the last time to becar about the letter even if oniy received for informa- tion. On motion of Councs. Hamnre and Cowmnan the ver- bal report by the Mayor of the letter from Messrs. Dunham and Ashton dated February '5th, 1982 was received for information. with it. If there is a way to improve our society and cour yautbs, we sbould try it. Tbe youtbs of today are the adults of tomorrow and if they are forced to resort to illegal or immortal actions, our society will become worse in tbe future. We sbould try and belp the trustees and the new founda- tion by fundraising etc. Wbat we would raise, probably would not be a nickle i the bucket, but it would show the trustees that we care and that we are bebind tbem. Tbey are doing it for us. There's a glory in the winter, Wben tbe ice is carved like stone, And the parting rays'of suni- shine Gîeem like radiance from His tbrone; Naw, the wind bas shrunk ta silence, And the frost begins ta bite And soon from ridge and cor- rie Wili rail dawn the shades of night. David Hope. The weatber was perfect on Valentine Day, Feb. l4th. After five stormy week-ends we appreciated a mniid day wben the snow melted off tbe roof. The banks of snow along tbe sixth line are bigber than thse car. Farmers are boping for a ramn as tbey are buying tanks of water for thse stock. There was a good atten- dance at Cburcb.. Special tbanks ta Mr. Frank Stapleton who took the ser- vice at Kendal Sunday morn- ing. The scripture reading was first Corinthians 13: The sermon was entitled "Love." A perfect subject for St. Valentine's Day. He brougbt us a fine message. Next Sun- day, Feb. 2lst. Rev. Andre Brndjar (Brin-jar) of the Canadian Bible Society wil be conducting the service. He is a graduate of thse Eastern Penescostal Bible College in Peterborough. A pastor of thse Penecostal Cburcb for seven years before jaining the staff of the Canadian Bible Society in 1962. ,Mrs. Gertie Spicer passed away Saturday, Feb. l3th. 1982, in ber eigbty-tbird yecar.
