10 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, November 13, 1985 Little help for Durham by Ross Stevenson, MPP. The Ontario budget did httle for residents of Durham York Our communities will be directly at- fected in several ways as | will in- dicate in this news column. For farmers, there appears to be a significant increase in the budget Unfortunately, the large increase was already planned for by the On tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) From public documents, 1t 1s clear that OMAF was anticipating a budget of over $370 million without the election pro mises of any party The new budget announces 76 million dollars of new promises - with less than 30 milhon dollars of new money to cover the promises. Clearly, some of the ex: isting OMAF programs will undergo significant cuts to cover the new promises or the new promises are greatly inflated Municipalities have been promis ed an additional $8 million per year over five years for a municipal road improvement plan But that 1s nowhere to be found in the Budget The government in fact decreased the allocation for the Ministry of Transportation and Communica- tions (MTC) by $34 million In 1985/86. We will find this difficult in our area where many commute to work at great distances, often on secondary roads While the government has decreased funding to MTC, at the same time, it increased taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, and fees for motor vehicle registration and driver's licences. Once again, those hardest hit will be the commuters who work in Oshawa and the Metro Toronto area These increases will generate an additional $11 million for the Charges may be laid Durham Regional Police may be just around the corner from laying charges in connection with the Halloween night incident that left 30 Pine Grove Cemetery headstones broken and smashed. Youth bureau officer Terry Richardson has been interviewing several youngsters, under the age of 13, and expects to lay charges sometime this week. Most of the damaged markers were in the south east area of the cemetery, discovered by ground- skeeper Don Raby when he went to work the morning after. The Sanderson Monument Com- pany in Orillia agreed to re-set the stones and a crew was busy last week lifting the heavy markers back in place. The company has stated it may try to recoup its losses from the of- fenders, if they (or an individual) is found guilty. Under the Young Offenders Act, anyone under 18 charged with a criminal offence is protected by publicity. treasury which makes one wonder why 1t wouldn't be put back into transportation The housing field 1s not as critical in many rural areas as it 1s In metropolitan areas. However, even on a modest home, the increased transfer tax, half of one per cent, amounts to a few hundred dollars. This is additional discouragement for people who might wish to buy a house, particularly first-time buyers In a nding with the south shore of Lake Simcoe and the south shore of L.ake Scugog, tourism is a very im- portant industry and many smaller tourist operators exist there. As a result of the budget, a program handled by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has been cut. It 1s a small marinas program which the Tory government previously had in effect. This important pro- gram was for the expansion of hard services such as retaining walls - essential items which do not in- crease profits. Budget cuts by the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation for infor- mation or advertising assistance in promotion of the vacation-farm operations affects our riding. Farm vacations have been popular with a number of urban people and it has been a developing sector in Durham and York Regions. It is unfortunate that such services are being reduced. The bottom line of this budget is that the people of Durham-York will pay, and pay, and pay. But what will they get in return? We deserve more than this.

I've been caught. I took the bait - hook, line and sinker! This week, we recognize sea-faring creatures because November is 'Seafood Month." The average Japanese person eats five times the amount of seafood as most North Americans do. I knew it, they knew it, but maybe you didn't know that the Inuit occasionally eat raw fish, (although it's really for survival reasons). Raw fish is enjoyed as a light snack; however, for a meal, fish is preferred cooked. The word "Eskimo" is the European name given to the Inuit. Its meaning is 'Eaters of raw flesh." Seafood is a ma- jor source of protein on any scale. When the one that got away, gets away, and your catch is a lit- tle shy in the full meal department, why not stuff it with some goodies"? Rainbow trout (Salmo Gairdneri) is the prime choice for this dish. Any substitute will be just as palatable. STUFFED TROUT Wash, dry and lightly salt four, 8 to 12 ounce trout. In a large skillet: 1 tablespoon butter, 6 strips diced raw bacon. Saute, until bacon is partially cooked. Add: 1 small clove garlic, crushed; 4 large green onions, chop- ped; 1 cup finely diced mushrooms. Deglaze with 2 ounces brandy. Add: 8 ounces shredded crab meat, strained dry; 8 ounces baby shrimp, washed and dried; Juice of '2 lemon; !» cup dry white wine. Mix in enough bread crumbs until mixture is a firm consistency. To stuff the fish of your choice, place it in your left hand and angle "er towards the ceiling. Fill cavity with the stuffing. Coat the entire fish with flour. Panfry until golden brown and transfer to oven in a baking dish. Bake at 375° F for approximately 20 minutes. When using carp, follow the above recipe, substituting an oak plank for an *'oven-safe' dish. Cook in a slow oven for 3 to 4 hours. Remove from oven, discard fish, eat the board! One thing I never understood was fly fishing. I didn't think they swam that well! R.O.T.: You can use fresh or frozen seafood for any given recipe, but once fish is thawed, never re-freeze. to EL Jo MB " KAREN HUNT ELECTROLYSIS Electrolysis - Permanent Hair Removal Waxing - Free Confidential Consultations DAY OR EVENING APPTS.
