They are the crossing guards in the Town of Newcastle Newcastle and according to Brian Irwin, by-law enforcement enforcement officer, they are a "fabulous "fabulous bunch of people." There are 13 crossing guards town-wide, including a "rover" who fills in as needed throughout the town). Each is on duty for a morning crossing, two noom time crossings and a evening time. They have all been trained by a Community Services officer with the Durham Regional Police Force and work for approximately approximately two and a half nours each day. The guards are spread throughout the town, with Bowmanville having the largest amount at eight. Newtonville has a single guard, as does Courtice. There is also one guard in Newcastle Village. Due to the growth in the Courtice area, Mr. Irwin may be looking at adding several more guards there this fall. The town receives several requests a year for crossing guards. All are treated seriously seriously and investigated for the need. A traffic count is run at any potential crossing. According to Mr. Irwin, it doesn't matter how many children need to cross the street. It is only important whether they have enough time to do so safely. • In the Town of Newcastle there is a unique crossing under under Regional Hoad 57. It is a tunnel that runs from Alon- na Street to Rosalynne Crescent Crescent for students of both Wa- verley Public School and St. Stephen's School. "We've been very fortunate fortunate in the Town of Newcastle," Newcastle," said Mr. Irwin. He says that the quality and the care of the crossing guards is outstanding. outstanding.

"A decade ago, health care accounted accounted for 27 per cent of provincial spending," spending," said the speaker. Today, the health care system takes up more than one-third of the budget. That translates into $12.7 billion, billion, or $1.45 million an hour. Mr. Keyes said that the challenge is not to continue to pour more money into the provincial nealth care coffers, coffers, but to better manage the present resources. "Our government, within the parameters parameters of the Canada Health Act, is working to steer its own course to a better-managed and more manageable manageable health care system," said Mr. Keyes. He assured the 100 RNA delegates at the two-day convention that a better system would continue to need their support. The speaker noted the vital role that RNA's play in the provision of health care, especially to the elderly. The health minister's assistant indicated indicated that the average age of people, admitted to nursing home was now 85. He further stated that by the year 2000 the number of seniors over the age of 85 will have doubled. "We're increasing the life span of our citizens," said Mr. Keyes. As a result, greater demands will be made on the health care system. Yet, health is not just the treatment of illness, indicated the speaker. As a result, the provincial Ministry Ministry of Health has initiated two inquiries. inquiries. One, labelled the Scott Task Force, will look at factors influencing influencing the use of insured médical services. services. The task force is a co-operative effort effort aimed at several areas, including the dramatic rise in OHlP expenditures. Mr. Keyes reported that between 1985 and 1988, monies spent on OHIP rose by 50 per cent. The other investigation, The Lowy Drug Inquiry, will examine the government's government's role in the acquisition, distribution, dispensing and prescribing prescribing of drugs. An international literature review, review, The Goldberg Report, found that Canadians were among the biggest users of prescription drugs in the world. The report contained evidence* of widespread drug misuse and wastage wastage that resulted in serious side effects effects and unnecessary hospital admissions. admissions. Mr. Keyes mentioned that presently one-third of hospital admissions admissions for seniors are for apparent drug overdoses. Many don't intend to misuse the drugs, claimed Mr. Keyes. Rather, it is often a case of drug dependency that has built up over many years. The provincial government pays for drugs given to patients in hospitals hospitals and nursing homes, as well as senior citizens and those on social assistance. assistance. The yearly price tag is nearly $1 billion. Another plan under the present provincial provincial health care ministry is a legislation legislation review. Mr. Keyes explained that "currently, "currently, in this province, we have eight different different pieces of legislation to regulate 19 different health professions. He claimed that while the legislation legislation has aged, the health care system has also cnanged dramatically. "Sixty years ago, nurses were considered considered handmaids to doctors, radiology radiology was in its infancy and many of today's common therapies - such as penicillin - weren't even invented," said the speaker. Much has changed in the past six- decades, and Mr. Keyes pledged that there are still changes to be made. Other activities during the convention convention included panel discussions on topics ranging from early detection of breast cancer to multiple organ retrieval retrieval and exchange.

Coaches and players representing all of the Bowmanville teams and the figure skating chib were introduced at the start of the program. In addition, Statesman Editor John M. James recalled the history of the present Bowmanville Arena, noting that the building was constructed after after World War Two when veterans returned home and wanted to remedy the fact that the children of the town had no place to play hockey. "We started from scratch," he recalled. recalled. Mr. James, who was the chairman of the original arena com- mitee and is honorary chairman of the current committee's Resource Group, stated that they wanted a building building which didn't "look like a barn" and as a result they came up with a facility facility that had unique bowstring roof arches and seating all around the ice surface. The early fund-raisers started by installing a foundation because because that's all the money they had. But the project grew from that point onward. "The community was with us all the way," he said. Moreover, he sug-' gested that a similar spirit is present in today's fund-raising effort. "There's no doubt about it. We can do it," he said. Councillor Marie Hubbard brought the group up to date on the recent developments developments leading to the decision to, build. She touched on the process of preparing plans for the new arena taking shape at the corner of Highway Highway Two and Regional Rd. 57. She Project introduced members of the Team.

One third of the goal will come from larger "pace gifts". There will be a contribution of one-third from medium "key gifts" and one-third of the objective is projected to come from the smaller "residential" gifts.

Town Objects to Site Process The Newcastle Town Council is opting to be uncooperative uncooperative with the federal government. Recently, the Ministry of State released a booklet entitled entitled "Opting for Co- Operation". The pamphlet suggested a committee be formed to review potential nuclear dump sites to replace replace Eldorado Resources Ltd.'s Port Granby site which is scheduled to close June 30 this year. "We launched an objection objection to the siting process task force. We stand in opposition to it," said Town Administrator Administrator Larry Kotseff. Town Council recently received received a response to their objections objections from Durham- Northumberland MP Allan Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence wrote: "The Task Force report report provides a safe and acceptable acceptable formula. Progress is being made and, considering the obvious advantages to your municipality, one would expect that this admirable admirable initiative by the federal federal government would have the full support of the Council." Council." Town Council disagreed, disagreed, and Councillor Marie Hubbard led the refusal in Council Monday night. "This whole issue of Eldorado Eldorado has been hanging around our necks for a long time. "It's all well and good to get this communication (from Mr. Lawrence) but we will not change our position," position," she said. Town Council thinks the process is moving too slow ly. After 30 years of storing low level radioactive nuclear waste at Port Granby, Newcastle Newcastle is tired of waiting. "Until they find a permanent permanent site, Newcastle's the host community. They'll store the nuclear waste onsite onsite (near the Port Hope plant) in plastic drums until they find a new location," said Mr. Kotseff. A nuclear waste site is "costly'. The first $25 million will be picked up by the newly newly privatized Eldorado Nuclear Nuclear Limited/SMDC (Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation) merger, but the remaining amount, which could reach over $100 million, would be a federal government responsibility responsibility said Mr. Kotseff.
