20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 15, 1986 BOWMANVILLE A young Bowmanville woman will have the opportunity of a life-time as she travels to Indonesia on the second leg of an exchange program spon- 'sored by Canada World Youth Organization next January. Elizabeth Marchant, 21, is "ecstatic" about the new life ahead of her n though she knows she will face almost unbearable heat and humidi- ty, fala] disease, mosquitos and a diet of fish and rice. exchange program will commence in northern Ontario in September when the 28 Canadians chosen for the exchange are joined by 28 Indonesian students to perform various work in the communities of Atikokan, Dryden and Fort Frances. They will billet with families within the communities and do assorted work in daycare centres, hospitals, schools, businesses and many other assorted jobs. 3 The Canadian and Indonesian students will remain in Northern On- tario until shortly after Christmas, flying to Indonesia on January 6, where they will remain until March. There are 17 countries involved in the exchange program which has been running for 15 years. It has involved an estimated 6,000 students from Canada. OSHAWA City council has overwhelmingly rejected the demands of Oshawa Public Utilities Commissioners for a 150 percent pay raise. By an 11-4 vote, Oshawa council members turned down the Commis- sion's demand for a $3,000-a-year raise, retroactive to last December. Two weeks ago, the Commission had voted 3-2 in favour of the raise. The proposed increase would have increased PUC honourariums from $2,000 to $5,000 annually with the chairman receiving an additional $500. The PUC has not received a raise since 1973. Aldermen Joe Kolodzie, Jim Potticary, Cy Elsey and Doug Wilson were the only councillors to support the motion. John Aker was absent from the meeting. Last week, Commissioner Gord Burnett warned that council would have to sanction the pay hike, or find itself a new commission. NEWCASTLE Faced with pressure from local residents demanding more ice time for both young and older hockey players, Newcastle councillor, Diane Hamre, has called for an investigation into the number of Oshawa teams using the municipality's four arenas. The inquiry was sparked by comments from Oshawa Mayor Allan Pilkey, who when asked by a Courtice group to amalgamate minor soft- ball teams with Oshawa, stated residents should look to their own council for the sports facilities demanded by a growing team. Hamre suggested that the Oshawa hockey teams using the arenas in Bowmanville, Darlington, Orono and Newcastle Village should be told in turn, to make way for local teams. | OSHAWA A feasibility report on growth in the Oshawa area, completed by Pannell-Kerr-Forster, has concluded there is a market for a 120 room hotel with a 50 seat lounge and 100 seat restaurant in Oshawa. The report, which will be released to the public on July 28, was presented to council for a sneak preview last week, and also supported the ~ construction of conference space within the hotel, including a main meeting room large enough to accommodate 300 people. The city's highly publicized land swap with General Motors last year, which gave the city 9.32 acres of land at the corner of Bond and Mary Streets, now appears to be the key in the bid for the hotel-conference centre. Mayor Allan Pilkey indicated the report should assist him in discus- sions with several hotel companies interested in building in the Oshawa area, including twq major chains, whose names he refused to indicate. The study cost $25,000 and took three months to complete. It was originally commissioned to find out whether or not downtown Oshawa could support a hotel, and to ascertain the extent of municipal investment re- quired to make such a hotel profitable. Pilkey stated he hoped a firm announcement on the development of the Mary/Bond Streets property would be made either late this year or early in 1987. PICKERING A full time inspector has been hired to keep a close watch over gar- bage being dumped at the Brock West Landfill Site. In a letter to Pickering council, the ministry of environment's regional director stated the inspector will act as the provincial representative to ensure garbage dumped at the site does not contain any pathelogical waste or other unsuitable matter. - Four Toronto hospitals were charged with illegally dumping pathelogical waste, to include amputated limbs and operating room dress- ings during September and October 1985. Pickering Regional Councillor, Norah Stoner, feels the appointment of a full time inspector at the site is a step in the right direction, however, she is not convinced such a move will fully control illegal dumping at the site. She indicated the inspector would have no way of watching all gar- bage dumped from trucks and would also not be able to tell what was in all the plastic bags that are dumped daily. "The stuff is getting in here,' said Stoner, hospital waste, there is the industrial waste. "Above and beyond the OSHAWA General Motors of Canada has been charged by the Ministry of Labour with violating provincial safety standards in connection with the death of an Oshawa electrician last March. ~The four separate charges against G.M. Canada were laid under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Each charge carries a maximum fine of $25,000. Larry Bews, 35, died at Wellesley Hospital in Toronto on March 11, about five weeks after he was electrocuted by 550 volts of power while work- ing at G.M. Three co-workers were also injured in the accident. G.M. Canada will make a court appearance at Oshawa Provincial Court on July 23.

Legion facing dilemma in warless generation From page 19 Branch 152 was resurrected again "around 1966 and has managed to keep going since that time. There are now some 167 members which include fraternal affiliates, and ac- cording to Heron, the actual number is more like 90. "There is a real problem with membership because Brooklin is a no-growth community," said Heron, Results of Tetrathlon Members of the Durham Pony Club fared exceptionally well at this year's tetrathlon competition held . last weekend. The tetrathlon is a gruelling competition which encom- passes swimming, running, shooting and cross-country riding.

In the junior girls, Bobby Lehman finished first in the shooting section of the competition with Tiffany De "Wit placing sixth in swimming and Melissa Evans sixth in running.

And even if the legion is one day transformed into just another ser- vice club like the Kinsmen or Lions Club, there will be one major dif- ference .... the legion's Articles of Faith. . 'Among the articles is the long- held belief that Canada must in- . crease its armed forces to protect national sovereignty. But while the legion maintains its hawkish traditions, it is also a strong supporter of world peace as it remembers the dead of three wars. "God forbid we see another war," said Heron, '"'We know the cost of war better than anyone." It appears the legion will always. be the conscience of the nation .... not only by persuing the goals of peace, but also in our communities by supporting the youth and the aged.
