"Durham Riding is very im- portant. It's the microcosm of Ontario. It's a combination of in- dustrial and small town rural and challenges that you see throughout all of Ontario are here in microcosm in Durham," the Secretary of External Af- fairs told the Port Perry Star last week. "As a consequence, it's impor- tant that we be sensitive to the needs of the people in the area and that we give the attention to the people in the area that they have a right to expect." The minister said the people in Durham have the same con- Secretary of State for External Affairs Perrin met with students during his informal visit. Mr. of Physical Resources, Durham MP Ross Steve 4 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" .._ Pays visit to Durham College cerns as the rest of the country. These include a need for its political parties to be sensitive to the economic needs of the country, ensure the streets are safe and ensure that the politi- fg are accountable to the peo- ple. The minister said he was con- fident the party would once again secure the important seat in Durham. He was also confi- dent the PCs would do well in the election. Mr. Beatty believes the par- ty's chances have improved in the past half year. "I'm pleased with the election results so far," he said during a visit to Durham College. "If you compare us to five months ago, the momentum has been very encouraging." Beatty toured Durham College on Thurday and Beatty (left) is joined by Brian Beatson, Director nson and graphic arts student Shane Cochrane. "My senses are that things are coming along well, but there's another 30 something more days to work very, v hard." Despite rumblings of anti- Tory sentiment, Mr. Beatty said he has not found much indica- tion of it on the campaign trail. He attributes this to the prob- lems Ontario has experienced. "Ontario has helped to prove the point. In my area, people are saying 'I voted NDP out of frus- tration and I've regretted it since then'," he said. "People are now saying I'm going to look much more closely now at the platform the parties are offering, who the leaders are and where they'd take the coun- try.' So I don't find the same Turkey, stuffing, cranberries, turnip, potatoes & dinner roll.

The cabinet minister claims the popularity of the Reform Party as an alternative has di- minished as well. 'I'm finding people coming back now saying 'I attended a Reform Party meeting and what I found is that they don't repre- sent what I believe in'," he said. "Also there's a recognition that if people are serious about putting the economic house back in order, you don't split the Conservative vote. Because if you do, you elect people who be- lieve in big spending and it works directly against what you're trying to achieve." Durham MP Ross Stevenson, who accompanied Mr. Beatty on Durham Region women and children will have the opportu- nity to participate in a peaceful protest against violence. The Oshawa Durham Rape Crisis Centre is staging a "Take Back The Night" walk in down- town Oshawa on Thursday, Sept. 30. The event is the one opportu- nity of the year for women and children to walk the streets by themselves, for themselves, said event committee member Noelle Bickle. The festivities get underway at Oshawa City Hall at 6 p.m. when there will be free face painting and balloons for the children. The opening ceremonies will commence at 7 p.m. At 7:30 p.m. port of Stevenson the informal tour, said he has noticed a change in the feelings of the voters from previous elec- tions. ES "I don't know if I would char- acterize it as a lack of hope. But I'would say there is a bit more frustration," Mr. Stevenson said. But Mr. Stevenson said peo- ple should consider how fortu- nate they are to live in a country suchas Canada, | "There aren't many places you would rather be trying to make a living and enjoy livingin acountry." Mr. Beatty was on hand last week to campaign in Mr. Ste- venson's riding, which included stops in Oshawa and Bowman- ville. Peaceful protest to be held Thursday the women and children will be- gin the walk by heading east on Athol Street, north on Simcoe Street, west on Richmond Street, and south on Centre Street until they arrive at Me- morial Park.
