Hobnobbing with Harvey Malcolm On Setting Priorities Setting priorities has always always been a controversial problem facing every organization, organization, group or individual - and once set can arouse considerable considerable debate and frequent frequent discussion. Both senior levels of government government are prime examples of questionable priorities. The federal decision to go for Free Trade with U.S.A. has had a rocky reception and obviously the question of the correctness of choice will only be proved or disproved by future historians. They will decide whether it was good or bad by looking objectively objectively back over their shoulders shoulders to assess the impact on Canadian citizenry. Likewise the Meech Lake accord.

Is the Canadian government government giving too much authority authority and power to Quebec merely to get them to join Confederation? Will they in future years become an amicable amicable partner with the other provinces or will they always always be a thorn in the flesh, insisting on "special privileges" privileges" not enjoyed by their provincial provincial counterparts? At the provincial level there are many tough decisions decisions in the process of being made as to what percentage of the financial pie should be directed to the various groups - hospitals, education (universities, elementary, secondary and private schools), roads, bridges, etc. ad infinitum. As is to be ex- f iected, each department be- ieves it is grossly underfunded underfunded compared to all others and wants more money money allocated to its programs. Meanwhile, the various municipalities throughout Ontario have been shouting bloody murder because the allocation of provincial funding funding for roaas and bridges has not been incresed despite despite the obvious deterioration deterioration of roads because of increased increased traffic. At municipal level, the local local councils, now at budget time, must apportion future tax dollars to the various demands demands - municipal road maintenance and construction, construction, fire protection, recreai- on in its various forms and waste disposal. And so it goes on to Boards of Education who also are faced with many tough decisions. Based on reports in the local press, Victoria County Board of Education is making some very controversial suggestions. suggestions.

Here in Manvers Township, our whole area cries for a new school complex. complex. The original building, built to accommodate slightly slightly more than 400 pupils, now houses more than 800 with the prospect of many more pupils starting. And no date has yet been set or even suggested for new construction. construction. Yet, we note that the Management Committee of the Victoria board is recommending recommending that the ornate Education Education Centre built in 1984 be expanded. If this proceeds, proceeds, we question the sanity sanity of the collective heads of the board in their priority decisions. We personally believe believe the health and welfare of our school children should take precedence over all else - even over the comfort and convenience of our high- priced bureaucrats. We have a simple solution solution to the problem. Build our new school in Manvers instead and we will be happy happy to ship them in a bunch of our portables to accommodate accommodate their "dire needs." Bet that suggestion goes over with the hierarchy like a lead balloon. Financial restrictions, restrictions, it appears, were never meant to apply to the bureaucracy. Empires are bvilt but seldom dissolved. O.P.P. Alarmed By Increase in Winter Deaths Twenty snowmobilers have been killed in Ontario so far this winter - the same number killed during the entire 1987/88 season. By this time last year, 15 persons had lost their lives in snowmobile accidents. Unpredictable weather patterns have created havoc with snowmobiling conditions. conditions. Frequent thawing and refreezing of lakes have resulted resulted in unstable surfaces. Riders are advised to check with local residents about the thickness of the ice before before venturing out on lakes, or better yet, to avoid riding on lakes altogether. Some riders are .even attempting attempting to jump open water water on their snow machines. "Those who do this are playing with their lives", said Prov. Const. Dennis Tappenden of Sudbury OPP. "If someone were to fall in the water, considering the present temperatures, that person would probably have about four minutes to live." The majority of accidents are due to alcohol consumption consumption and excess speed. The speed limit on most trails is 50km/h, and snowmobilers should be careful not to overdrive their headlights. Riders should proceed into unknown areas with caution. Tree stumps can be hidden by the snow, and side roads can be icy. Lastly, it is important to toll a responsible person where you are going, including including any last-minute change of plans, and when to expect you back. "Letting someone know when you plan to return will avoid any unnecessary worry, worry, and also allow us to find you if there is a problem," said Tappenden.

I'm always telling him to go out there and do your best. Believe in yourself." yourself." After a tremendous season season like 1988, Brown should believe in himself. The statistics statistics don't lie. The Brown household, on the outskirts of Bowmanville, Bowmanville, boasts a lot of hardware hardware received for his national national award, OJC awards, and stakes races that he's won. However, Nancy confides, "to Doug personal satisfaction satisfaction is much more important than trophies or awards." Nancy and Doug have two children, Krystal (4) and Kyle (2 1/2). Although the kids are too young to understand understand what their dad does and how well he does it, Brown says "I want my kids to respect me as a person and a father, not for being a great driver." A great driver he is - as thousands of racing fans know - Doug Brown - remember remember the name - he'll be around for a while! But at the track, he's Doug Brown, a superstar driver, one of the best in the business, and a "wanted" man as a driver. By Kathy Wade.
