Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, December 4,1991 3 by Gord Mills, M.P.P., Durham East As the weeks left before the Christmas break begin to count down, the pace at the Legislature Legislature quickens. Last week, I was : advised that commencing the ; second week in December we will be sitting until midnight to deal with the legislation that must be passed before the break. Those extra hours after 8 p.m. always seem to drag. I'm not really looking forward to it, but important legislation remains on hold. On Monday last, the Honourable Honourable the Lieutenant Govern or of Ontario, Lincoln Alexander, Alexander, carried out his last official duty by giving Royal Assent to a number of Bills. As the Lieutenant Lieutenant Governor walked out of the Legislature for the last time, there were many of us present who silently thought that we would never see his equal again. He will be missed by all Ontarians for the service he has rendered for all of us. Last week, the Minister of Skills Development, the Hon. Richard Allen, announced plans to reconstruct the prov- "I told you not to use a rowing machine."

(OTAB) If Ontario is to rebuild its economy, economy, if we arc to prosper within the Canadian economy, within the world economy, we must invest in the training and skills upgrading of the people. I will be writing more about this program program in the coming weeks. Last week in the Legislature, Legislature, and in the media, considerable considerable frenzy was generated about $250,000 worth of television television equipment the government government had stored in a room that had never been used. The true facts of the matter arc that public public monies arc assigned by the Legislative Assembly to provide provide all three parties with studio studio equipment for the establishment establishment of an electronic media studio. While the Liberals and the Conservatives already have their studio up and running, the government has experienced construction problems with their own. What wasn't mentioned mentioned was that both the other two parties have been paying studio staff for services while the government has not assumed assumed any staff costs during the period of delay. No funds have been expended by the government that were not approved approved by the Board of Internal Internal Economy. The bottom line is that tme facts do not make for exciting questions to be asked by the opposition. In my books, quite often, politics seems to be some sort of a blood sport. On Thursday, I was pleased to represent the Solicitor General General at the Ontario Fire Prevention Prevention and Public Education Awards in Toronto. Among the many awards I had the honour of presenting, perhaps the most touching were those I gave to three children, who by their actions actions when fire broke out in their homes, probably saved the lives of their family members. members. On Friday morning, at Variety Variety Village in Scarborough, I helped launch,the 1991 Christmas Christmas R.I.D.E. 1 program. As the holiday season begins - please - don't drink arid drive. Until 'next week, keep on being kind to each other. MPP Mills Sees Need for More Walk in Clinics Since my election to the Ontario Legislature many things have changed in my life. One of the changes I was forced to make was to change my doctor. The change was required required because my new job demanded demanded for me, more accessible accessible medical care outside of the regular office hours most family family doctors keep. In order to have medical care I was forced to turn to the new wave in medical care - The Walk-in-Clinic. Some folks have labelled them, rather rather unfairly I think, "Doc's - in - a Box" and "MacMedicine". Whatever you care to call them they are a serious attempt to fill the growing needs of a community. Perhaps the growth rate of the walk-inclinic walk-inclinic is in part due to the nine to five mentality shown by most doctors today. It seems to me that most people, when they get sick, want to be treated treated without having to schedule time off from work. Taking time off from work to visit the doctor costs everyone money - employers and employees, at a time when most people can't afford it. Because of this, many people are using the hospital's emergency ward for what ails them that rightly should be treated at the doctor's office. I'm sure that there arc lots of folks who go to the emergency ward and feel a trifle guilty about being there. But what's their choice, when on a Friday night or a Saturday morning they arc faced with a raging flu bug, or an upset stomach. The people whom I have spoken with, have told me they want medical services at their convenience, not the doctor's. I think we could do with a local walk-in-clinic in Bowmanville. If we could get one I am sure that it would take the strain off the hospital emergency services, services, and the cost of treating people people would be less - the way I see it. Dear Sir: In your "Bits and Pieces" section of yesterday's paper you inferred that the Durham Liberal Riding had been "invaded" "invaded" by pro-lifers. This is just a bit unfair. The Durham "pro-lifers" were in good attendance attendance at last year's General Meeting also. If it was of such concern that the riding remain in the hands of the old guard, why did they not get their members to renew and attend the General Meeting? This was, after all, a democratic process. Is it so hard to accept that perhaps Liberals of longstanding longstanding can also be pro-life in philosophy? The Liberal Party of Canada has always asserted the value of the individual. It should be noted that when a motion affirming the sanctity of human life was presented in the House of Commons, over half the Liberal Members of Parliament voted in favour of the motion. This hardly puts the Durham Association out- of-step with the Liberal Party of Canada. To be pro-life (including anti-abortion and anti- euthanasia) is to assert the intrinsic intrinsic value of every human being, from conception .to death, no matter what the circumstance circumstance of the conception and no matter whether the person person is, in the eyes of the world, useful or productive to our society. society. This pro-life philosophy will of necessity decide our political political orientation. Being pro-life docs not mean we arc concerned with one issue only. Far from it. Of course a pro-life philosophy is fundamental to our attitudes and actions, but we arc concerned concerned about many, many issues issues in Canada today. We arc concerned about the unity of this country. Quebec belongs in Canada, and we must convince the Québécois that they arc welcome, without giving so many concessions that we alienate other provinces. provinces. We must combat the effects of the GST and the recession. We must deal with the immigration immigration situation in a compassionate, compassionate, yet practical way. We must ensure our youth are educated educated sufficiently to compete in an increasingly high-tech world. We must change the present unfair taxation on families families supporting the children who arc die future of this country. country. We must encourage research research and development in order order to develop industries which can hold their own against cvc- ry-increasing competition in other parts of the world. The new president of the Durham Riding is a retired, successful businessman, who is deeply concerned about our economy, and is willing to work hard for this country through the Liberal Party. He has expressed his many concerns concerns to members of the press, but somehow only the fact that he is pro-life is given any prominence. Surely, he and the other Durham Association members should be given a chance to prove their worth! Sincerely, (Mrs.) Lorraine McNamara Ed's note: Well, the ball is now in your court. It will be most interesting to see what you do with it. So far, we haven't met your new president, president, but would be pleased to hear from him. Teachers and Students Try to Remedy Situation Dear Editor: In reference to the article "Student Request Picnic Area at Old Arena Site" from last week's Statesman. I would like to clarify a few points and better better inform Town Council of what actions the school has taken to rectify the downtown lunch problem. We at the school arc very aware of the situation, which has been ongoing for many years, and have taken the following following actions to heighten awareness and alleviate the problem. To remedy this situation, co-operation is needed, from the students, their parents, school administration, store- owners, the public, Town Council and community collectively. collectively. As it is the student's problem, problem, I surveyed them to see if they knew what the problems were and asked them to problem problem solve. Constable Wraight spoke to individual classes regarding regarding attitude, reputation and respect. I conducted an assembly assembly which gave the results of the survey and attempted to instill instill valucs/morals in the students students of how to act responsibly in our community. Several staff walked the streets reminding students to not loiter, litter, trespass, smoke under age or use abusive abusive language. Because teachers teachers don't have jurisdiction downtown, I asked the police to be more visible with cruisers in the vicinity and occasionally place an officer on foot patrol. A group of concerned parents parents have formed a parent committee committee to offer their ideas to solve this problem and have set up a hot lunch programme. I presented the above to the DBA at their October meeting and it was agreed that the stor- eowners would talk to each business regarding how to cooperate cooperate with the school, deal with loitcring/intimidation of gangs and possibly providing picnic tables or benches. We, the staff, police, students students and business people arc happy to sec a great improvement, improvement, ic. less loitering, litter and school lateness. A group of students showed initiative last year when they presented a proposal to Town Council on improving the old arena park site. After endless hours of organization and planning, planning, it was not approved. Mr. Hooper, the students "do not expect the tax payers to solve the problem on their own." We have been working to solve this situation since September September and realize that change occurs slowly. We are encouraged encouraged by die improvements shown and will continue to work diligently with all concerned concerned for a better community. Sincerely, Pat Moffat B.S.P.S. teacher ffiage from Met ty Our Christmas Street Lights Are Not Burning Christmas festive street lighting on King Street has been enjoyed by young and old alike each December starling i;;' 1959 and including last year, 1965. The strings of colored lights were purchased purchased by the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce, and it has paid each year for new bulbs. The first week of December ends today, and there is a strong possibility that the Christmas lights will not be turned on this year. The Chamber of Commerce has not yet decided to have these lights turned on this season, Presi dent Wilfred McMechan stated yesterday. yesterday. "There is more than one problem in connection with these lights," he said. George Van Bridger, PUC Manager, Manager, told the Statesman on Tuesday that the Chamber of Commerce has not paid its account.for power for the Christmas Christmas lights for the months of December, 1964, and December, 1965, at $88.75 each, a total of $177.50. "I have reduced this amount by $50 by arranging for the PUC to receive Chamber of Commerce membership at $25 a year for 1966 and 1967. This brings down their power bill for the last two Decembers to $127.50," Mr, Van Bridger said. "The power for the Christmas lights for Decembers, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, ||( and 1963 was paid for by the town. Either Town Clerk Bob Reynolds or Ken Morris, I can't remember which, phoned me in November 1959 and said to charge the town for it, and to simply include it under the December Street Lighting bill," Mr, Van Bridger asserted.

Council Turns Down Motion to Suspend Charges for Parking At council meeting, Monday evening, Councillor Councillor Maurice Prout, seconded by Councillor Annie Oke, moved that a By-Law lie drawn up to suspend all parking meter charges from December 17th to December 26th as a Christmas gesture of goodwill. In the discussion that followed it was pointed out that the traffic has to he kept moving and such a suspension would impede this, also that it would inconvenience Christmas shoppers. shoppers. The motion was lost. Two By-Laws were given Around Newcastle, the name Walton is synonymous with politics. On Monday Monday of this week, Earl Walton, 67, was elected reeve of the village while his brother Bob, 63, headed the polls for council. Some time ago, their younger brother George, 55, was a provincial candidate and prior to that he had been reeve of Newcastle and warden of the United Counties. After his successful election election bid, the new reeve phoned brother George in Florida to notify him of the results. Earl Walton was on council for several years a couple of decades ago and was acting reeve for several months at that time. He retired two years ago as a Dominion Supervising Fruit Inspector.

Everson in Port Hope on Monday. The new mayor held the same post from 1960 to 1962 and previously served as councillor from 1955 to 1956 and deputy reeve from 1957 to 1960. Former Reeve George Phillips won over A. C. Crowhurst for Deputy, with a plurality of 58 votes. Wladyka had 1,875 votes to Robert Everson's 936. t t t t t VETERAN -- It will also be interesting to note that veteran politician Lloyd Hooton did it again in Cavan. He was re-elected reeve by a vote of 517 to 123 over his opponent John Warnke. D. Land will be his deputy by acclamation and councillors councillors are L. Olan, J. Kinsman and L.

Now the town has grown up and has postal delivery, lack of proper addressing will only delay delivery. The postal employees just don't know where everybody lives any more, the town is now too big for that homespun service of the past. HELPFUL -- After Monday's election we can't help wondering how Oshawa would get along without former Bowmanville and district people. Four of their elected aldermen have Durham County connections, including Dr. Charlie MeU- veen, Norman Down, Russ McNeil and John DeHart, while Mrs. Winona Clarke, elected to the Separate School Board, lived on Lover's Lane here for many years. t t t t t WATER -- Following the heavy rains this week, many cellars have taken on the appearance of trout streams. There is only one consolation, that liquid snow is much easier to shovel than the real thing . . . but don't gloat, we'll probably get loads of that too before the winter is over. t V X f V TOPS -- At the Canadian Boating Federation gathering in Peterborough over the weekend, two people with connections here were tops in their class for Canada, Clayton Read, Parkway Cres., won the Carling trophy for Canadian One design class for the second year and Jerome Rice, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Rice of Orillia and grandson of Mrs. Charles Rice, formerly of Ontario Street, received a shield in the Sportscraft Division, the Canadian High Point award. t t t t t SKATING -- The Recreation Department is con- ■ ducting a figure skating class for children under five who cannot skate and for parents interested in improving their skating skill.
