Members of Parliament from Ontario have been left out of the ec- onomic power positions in Ottawa, in fa- vor of the MPs from the west. Ontario, which boasts approximately 40 per cent of the nation's population, has only eight ministers to show for in Ms. Campbell's new cabinet. Only one cabinet minister, Pauline Browes, is from the Metropolitan Toronto area. But the eight cabinet ministers chosen from Ontario are a long way from being called political heavyweights. The anger was quick to surface over the Prime Minister's apparent snubbing of Ontario. "This cabinet represents the most seri- ous blow to Ontario, to our economic po- sition in Confederation, since the origin of cabinet-making," said Ontario Premier Bob Rae. He also said the cabinet is "badly skewed in favor of everywhere ex- cept Ontario." Mr. Rae, along with the millions of On- | tarians have reason to be angry. It was not more than three months ago that Ms. Campbell, hot on the campaign trail, came to Oshawa to woo support. It was during that speech that she emphasized the importance of Ontario and the region during her speech. "If Ontario is the en- gine that drives the country, then Oshawa must be the sparkplug." | Hindsight being a wonderful thing, Ms. Campbell has proven to be somewhat of a hypocrite. Had she believed what she meant by that statement, Ontario would have seen more representation in key ec- onomic portfolios to drive the country. Durham Region should be feeling a lit- tle hurt by the cabinet selections as well. The region has once again been left out of any cabinet representation. Ms. Camp- bell has chosen to rely on a less powerful "engine" with no "sparkplugs." Durham Region represents a major portion of the province's industry and boasts a fair portion of the population. It also features MPs, such as Ross Steven- son and Rene Soetens, both staunch Campbell supporters during the cam- paign. Mr. Stevenson is also an experi- enced agriculture minister in provincial politics. Ontario has been slighted severely by last Friday's cabinet appointments. With any new political leader mistakes are bound to be made. Ms. Campbell has proven this point already. pelt fn Ly y // 4 CANADA DAY 1S WHAT, AMURSOAY 7 - IT's HARD T0 KEEP TRAK , EVERYDAY 15 Office Manager - Gayle Stapley Accounting - Judy Ashby, Louise Hope Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association Ontario Community Newspaper Association .

Be- tween August 1992 and May 1993, ESO did a study of local needs for information on currently available government pro- grams and services for both unemployed workers and for employers who may qualify for subsidized hiring or retrain- ing funds. Throughout the study project, local response and interest was very ex- cellent, and we have been able to guide several individuals and employers to- wards the assistance they needed. In order to continue providing the ser- vice in Port Perry, a proposal for funding has been submitted for consideration and approval; one aspect which is taken into account is whether the project has the support of the local community as a whole. This community should know that, without the practical help of several not- able people the office would not be able to operate in this interim period: From the time the study began last August, the mayor and members of council have been most concerned and interested in Turn to Page 7 by Julia Dempsey Summer Re-Leaf with | Peter and Doug |g I have a confession. On Tuesday, June 22,1, Julia Dempsey, [™ posed as a reporter/ 'i photographer for the Port Perry Star. (My colleagues might argue that I pretend to be a journalist every day, but hey, I've got a diploma. Nobody needs to know I bought it at the local five and dime shop.) Getting back to this confession thing, I had Tuesday off, as did my friend Pam who works as a graphic artist in the advertising department. As luck would have it, we found out that a whole bunch of NHL players were going to be participating in a golf tournament at the Maples of Ballantrae, just north-east of Stouffville. The line-up included Maple Leaf play- ers Peter Zezel (the tournament host), Doug Gilmour, and Mark Osborne, along with other NHL stars Curtis Joseph, Steve Thomas, Brad May, Keith Acton, Tie Domi, Eric Lindros, etc. ~ Curious to know what these guys look like when they're sporting a full mouth of teeth and when they're not dripping with sweat, Pam and I decided to go. I got a little nervous when a man motioned for us to stop the car before we reached the clubhouse. : "You ladies playing in the tournament today?" he asked. Frightened he might turn us'away if he knew our real motive, I pointed to my camera bag and said "We're with the Port Perry Star." It was only a slight exaggeration, but it sound- ed better than "We're just here to gawk at the hockey players." : At first, Pam and I kept our distance from the guys, only encroaching on their space to take pictures of them while they signed autographs for the kids. We assumed they were big stars with big bank accounts and egos to match. Boy were we wrong. Our first nice encounter was with Brad May, a Stouffville native who played the 92-93 season with Buffalo Sabres. On his way to the clubhouse, he flashed a big smile and welcomed us with a warm . "How do ya do." Being in the big league hadn't gone to this young players head. Then this nice gentleman who mistook us for reporters who might actually write a story on the tournament, flagged us down to say that Peter Zezel wanted to talk to us. | Peter told us the event was bein sponsored by Parkway Honda, Molsons and the Maples of Ballantrae. Proceeds were going to the Hospital for Sick Children and he hoped it would become an annual event. eo He must have talked to us for 10 minutes and in that time I could not Turnto Page 10 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Port Perry Star encourages our readers to make use of the letters to the editor column to express their opinions and viewpoints on just about any subject, as we feel a lively letters column helps make us a better community newspaper.
