--------{ Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 15, 1995 - 3 Mary Glapdorp From Capital Hill Alex Shepherd MP Durham Kendal Hall News "Have you moved? We don't see you around town any more." Mary says that if she had a dollar for everytime that she heard that, she would be rich. This life-time resident of Orono has always been active in the community. If not working on the Fair Board or United Church Women, she has kept busy by raising a family. You may have seen Mary working in the past at the Apple Blossom Shop, Curvply or the Auto Workers Credit Union. While working at the Credit Union, a business opportunity came her way. "There were a lot of lay-offs and I heard that one of the owners of Mardi's Flowers and Gifts, in Whitby, wanted to sell her half." Now facing unemployment, and having the invaluable experience she gained from the Apple Blossom Shop, Mary decided to take the plunge into the business world. John, Mary's husband of 24 years, her 2 daughters and 1 son were right behind her. Now 3 years and 1 granddaughter later, "people still don't know what happened to me." These days, Mary is selling everything from flowers to unique gourmet salad dress- ings. Tonight, Mardi's is hav- ing an open house from 6 - 10 p.m., on Brock St. in Whitby. Stop in, say Hi, and sample some of the hot apple cider. Though we don't see her as much as we once did, Mary is still around and is still one of your neighbours. by Kate Lang Orono Public School News From Grade 1 Class This year there are 21 stu- dents in our class. Our teacher is Ms. Neuwirth. We have an Educational assis- tant named Mrs. Barraball. We also have a co-op student from Clarke High School name Kathy Gylytiuk, who is with us in the mornings until January. The grade 1 class is learn- ing about Bears. We are part- nered with Mr. Spurrell and Mrs. Turner's grade 4/5 class, who are also learning about Bears. We are reading and writing bear stories with them. We are learning about different kinds of bears and where they live. We are even building chairs for baby bear. We know that bears hibernate during the winter. Would you like to hibernate too? By the time this is pub- lished our school will have had a Remembrance Day assembly. The grade 1, grade 1/2 and the grade 2 class will be singing I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.

Truck Stolen from Yard of Local Business Sometime in the wee hours of Friday night- Saturday morning, a maroon 1988 GMC 3/4 ton truck with a green plywood cap was stolen from Fred's Fruit Market. "It was stolen right out of our yard," com- ments Fred Obrist, owner of Fred's. "When we got out there in the morning at 7:00 a.m. it wasn't there any more. Anyone with any information on the where- abouts of the vehicle should contact the local authorities immediately. Should one of Canada's provinces separate, what are the rules followed? This question has been on the minds of many constituents since the referendum. Clearly politicians shouldn't be making up the rules as they go. And it's clear a simple majority of fifty-one per cent isn't ade- quate to destroy a country in spite of Preston Manning. Canadians respect democ- racy and a peoples' right to self-determination, but as most Canadians have said Canada cannot be destroyed by a simple majority vote. The following are some of the ground rules I will be advocating be in place if the country is ever brought to the brink of destruction again. Financial Accountability: A seceding province will be directly responsible for their proportional share of the fed- eral deficit. The province will be responsible for the unfunded portion of benefits (pension plans etc.). Other federal gov- emment liabilities, such as guarantees will be acknowl- edged to the seceding province as well. Unfunded transfer pay- ments such as Old Age Security Pension will stop immediately as will other transfers such as funding for medicare and equalization payments. Referendum: A referen- dum question must be clear and unequivocal. A question, for example asking for a "Yes" vote, should say "yes" means we leave Canada, nothing less. A referendum, to be suc- cessful, should be indicated by a vote of 66-2/3 per cent or more in favour. Partitioning: A region that votes not to secede within the province undertaking the ini- tial referendum shall have a subsequent referendum with- in 30 days. Once again, a 66-2/3 per cent or more majority will be enough for this region to retain citizenship in Canada. If Quebec has the right to self- determination then so do Canadians living inside Quebec. Right of Access: The seceding province will grant the right of uninhibited access to the people of any region within the seceding territory who have voted to remain in Canada. As well the remaining provinces with- in Canada shall have unre- stricted access through the seceding province. Native Land Claims: Since many native land claims have not been resolved no transfer of jurisdictional power will be undertaken in these territo- ries. Of course the native community will also have the right of self-determination. Many constitutional lawyers reject the idea of entrenching a written Law of Secession in a constitution. I agree, a nation contemplating its break up soon accom- plishes it. The Soviet Union is a case in point. However, a nation contem- plating its breakup without rules is suicidal. The Bloc Quebecois's memo to the mil- itary is one clear example of how no rules become some- body else's to make. In deference to constitu- tional lawyers, I would give this legislation a sunset clause of June 30, 1999. In conclusion, I believe you negotiate from the basis of strength - not weakness. Canada has all the high cards and it's time Canadians played them. I'm not talking about intimidation. I think there are a number of options open to both sides without us sell- ing the soul of the nation. But clear rules define how the game will be played. I don't believe Quebecers are prepared to play the game when they fully understand what the consequences are. They've been sold a bill of goods thinking they can have their cake and eat it too. Isn't time to set the story straight? FORTUNE F I N A N C 1 A L VInvestment and RetirementPlanning /Tax/Estate Strategies VYour RRSP Expert KEN RICHARDS 13 JOHN STREET W.
