Jean and her husband Harry will especially enjoy watching their noon-hour news broadcasts and "All Creatures Great and Small." Candidates Debate Issues From page one tybka-Becker recalled that when she was growing up, her father went rom job to job until he landed a job itGM; Things have changed since then, she said, but not for the betterment 3f the country. "It is the time for real economic change," she noted. But that change would not be of the kind the Tories are suggesting. Ian Smyth said the Reform Party has "a common sense approach" to the deficit. However, while that is one of the main issues, he sees another another issue that people are thinking about a lot these days -- credibility. "This election is about people. It is time the people told the politicians politicians and die government what they want," Smyth said. Changes to the criminal justice system and job creation are among the.tilings people want, Smyth said. A newcomer to the political arena, arena, .Green Party Candidate Hurvid told the audience that "a green candidate candidate looks at issues from an environmental environmental perspective." Some of these include the importance importance of mass transit over other types of transportatiçn and repealing the North American Free Trade Agreement. A former professor of economics Harry Pope, of the National Party, discussed a number of economic theories relating to how it would bé possible to drop the debt load Canada Canada now carries. Christian Heritage Party candidate candidate Durk Bruinsma told folks up front where his party stands on abortion. abortion. He said a baby does not belong to its parents, or the government but "to the ruler supreme--God." He also said, "The no-fault laws must go." The meeting eventually moved into a question-and-answer session by guest panelists Wendy Gallagher of the Oshawa Whitby This Week, Michael Patrick of the Bowmanville Foundry, Bev McCagherty of Group Four Canadian Protection Services, and Terry McWade of Rogers Cable, the topic of the deficit took over. Moderator Dale Jackson, of CHEX TV, accompanied by timer Doreen Smyth, of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, kept the candidates on time and on their toes. While Pope discussed different economic theories, Bruinsma spoke of how cutting the numbers in the bureaucracy and a reduction in social social programs would help to reduce the deficit. The CHP would cut expenditures and not raise taxes and productivity would go up, he said. The Reform candidate agreed with the idea of not raising taxes. The Green Party would look at cutting subsidies to polluting industries, industries, while the NDP candidate said THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM PUBLIC NOTICE DURHAM REGION Take notice that the Regional Planning Committee has received AN APPLICATION TO AMEND THE DURHAM REGIONAL OFFICIAL PLAN The amendment, as submitted by the applicant, proposes to redesignate redesignate the site indicated on the map below from a designation that will permit industrial and open space uses to a designation that permits residential and open space uses.

Rybka-Becker also talked about getting rid of the free trade deal. Instead Instead of raising taxes, the NDP would like to see the 63 corporations corporations that didn't pay taxes last year, do so this year. Shepherd said the government should spend money on improving the country's infrastructures. Stevenson said a Tory government government would look at cutting costs without harming the quality of life people expect. He also said that while many people are looking for simple and common sense ways to remove the deficit, no one group will ever come to one conclusion on how to do so. He reminded the audience how those in various organizations have trouble dealing with their finances and have to remove their deficits. Imagine people from a number of different backgrounds, from fisher^-v, ies, ranches, and Bay Street trying ' to come up with solutions. "It's, a big challenge," Stevenson said. Y The group of seven candidates also answered questions on streamlining streamlining the GST, literacy and retraining retraining workers, unemployment, pensions for politicians, and the parole parole system. Afterwards, and before the candidates candidates made their closing state : ments, the moderator took a couple of questions from the floor. Les Canter, of Hampton, wanted to know about long-term solutions for those who have been without work. Most of the candidates agreed that the deficit rules the government. government. Bruinsma said it best when he observed: "Free enterprise will flourish if there's less government interference." Pope looks at in another way. He figures that people have to "spend, money to make money." He would also like to stop sending money across the border. Hurvid would like people to think about the future before taking a job which could further reduce the nation's resources. Another person wanted to know about pensions. Stevenson replied that pensions are "not an issue that can be dealt with in one day." He stated most of the people who got elected in the 1950's were usually in their later years, and that's when the pensions for MPs came into existence. existence. With most of the old-time politicians politicians gone, the subject of pensions can be looked at in the next government government and "newer members" can take action." The Senate came under fire from another audience member and the four main party candidates got a crack at this topic. Smyth said, perhaps the smaller provinces could have more say in the second chamber rallier than just abolishing it totally. Rybka-Becker called the Senate "a waste of government dollars." A government made up by the NDP would "abolish it as soon as possible." possible." Liberal candidate Shepherd and PC candidate Stevenson agreed that the "Senate has outlived its purpose." purpose." Stevenson also hinted at government government reform which would go beyond beyond the Senate. He said Canada is over- governed. However, lie pondered out loud what the choices could be. More private sector control and fewer fewer provinces might be among those choices. In conclusion, the parly candidates candidates were in agreement that the national national deficit needs lo be reduced so the economy will grow. However, they were not in agreement over how all this could be accomplished. by Laura J. Richards Approximately ■ 16 acres of land in a proposed housing development in north-west Bowmanville will be used to build a secondary school for the separate school board. At least that is what is being considered considered by the Peterborough, Victoria, Victoria, Northumberland, and Newcastle Roman Catholic School Board. Ken Kary, Supervisor of Planning Planning and Assessment, told members of the General Purpose and Administration Administration committee that while the school board is not saying it will build there, the site is the only one on their plate right now.

The location being considered by the separate school board has frontage frontage on the west side of Middle Road between Scugog Street and Concession Concession Road 3.

Muddy Excitement at Rodeo Finals From page one While the cowboys take a major beating, the bulls, calves and horses arc the best-cared for anywhere, he says. "To the average farmer, they're not worth a nickel. For a farrper, there would be no point in keeping a horse that won't tolerate.a rider or a bull that doesn't like people. But, to the rodeo, these animals are worth thousands and thousands of dollars. Naturally, they're very well cared for." And why do these stubborn creatures creatures resist being ridden? "A lot of that has to do with the personality of the individual animal," animal," says Davis. "It's in their nature." nature." It also has to do with the gear strapped onto them. They use a snug cinch strap on the rodeo animals. The main emphasis emphasis is to buck that off. "It's uncomfortable. uncomfortable. It's like wearing a corset," says Davis. The Kinsmen were pleased lo present the show. Once the mud, the dust and the bills are settled, the local service clubs will take a "very serious look at doing it again next year."
