By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex No doubt you will all have heard of the mysterious “M. Shultz” who wrote to Liberal MPP Eddie Sargent com­ paring failures at Ontario Hydro’s Bruce Generating Station to those that led to the recent nuclear accident at the Three Mile Island power plant near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He said that “the possibility of all these events happening simultaneously in a Candu reactor are remote, but no more remote than the sequence of events at TMI”. The letter in question and seven accompanying Significant Event Reports were released by Liberal Leader Stuart Smith. Tur­ ning the documents over to the Legislature’s select committee on Hydro affairs, Stuart Smith said "These documents must speak for themselves ... I think members of the committee will see that Mr. Shultz is a responsible person and the concern he expresses in his letter is a legitimate one.” Subsequently, a man identifying himself as Mr. Shultz telephoned a Toronto radio station with deails of an incident over the weekend of 28,29 April in which two Ontario Hydro employees Available with Canadian Artist Records Available At The EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE MAKE MAN'S JOB EASIER ALL YEAR WITH ONE OF OUR APPLIANCES.

One worker received a dose of 5.5 rems, the other received an eight-rem dose, according to Hydro officials. (Five rems is the per­ missible level of exposure for an entire year). Ontario Hydro shut down its 10-day-old operation to retrieve the trapped fuel bundle and has launched an investigation into the over exposure incident. Officials of Hydro, nuclear plant operators and health specialists will participate in the inquiry, the results of which will be made public as soon as possible, Hydro will be given an opportunity to rebut allegations that failures at Bruce seriously jeopardized safety. Representatives of all parties have agreed to meet with officials to give an opportunity for Hydro to respond to the letter from "Mr. Shultz” and the ac­ companying reports. In the latest in a series of relevations by New York State health officials, it has been announced that the world’s deadliest man-made poison, dioxin, has been found in Lake Ontario fish. People, especially pregnant women and children, have been warned not to eat fish from the lake, although officials maintained the discovery poses no threat to Metro’s water. An environment ministry official has stated that the poison could not be in the lake water because it gets into the fish through the food chain. “It’s not in the water”, he said. “It’s in something the fish eats." Answering a question from Liberal Leader Stuart Smith about the seriousness of the problem, the Minister Harry Parrott, compared the concentrations of dioxin to "one shot of vermouth in a 28 million ton of martini”. Dr. Smith was not reassured by the Minister’s response, and angrily commented “he is saying everything is fine and they don’t even test for dioxin. He shouldn’t say everything is fine until the water and fish have been tested.” The Liberal Leader also questioned the Minister in the House about delays in carrying out tests for dioxin. Almost two-and-a-half years ago the Ministry of the Environment announced it was preparing to test for this poison in its own laboratories. However, officials have recently admitted that ministry laboratories are at least three to six months away from setting up a program to test for dioxin in water and fish. Drums of caustic chemical have been discovered in a Fort Erie dump which was described as hazardous in a five year old report which only came to light this past week, when Liberal MPP Ray Haggerty brought it to the attention of the govern­ ment. Following receipt of the report by the Ministry this week samples were taken at the site to ascertain if toxic chemicals from the site were leaking into a drainage ditch. The dump in question is about 4.5 miles from the Niagara River. It is about three miles from the nearest large residential area, although some scattered houses are a few hundred yards away. The dump is surrounded on all sides by open fields and bush. Mr Mr. Haggerty pointed out that the Fort Erie site is the only dump marked as hazardous out of 25 listed in the report. He expressed the belief that the town should tighten its control of the dump. However, town management has no idea what kind of chemicals might have been deposited there in the past since waybills have been kept for only a few years. The type of industry located in Fort Erie does not generate the type of waste normally associated with a hazardous label. Both Opposition Parties have expressed concern about the Minister of Health’s flip-flop on the question of allowing Ontario doctors to accept payment by credit card for their services. The fear is that allowing the use of credit cards would remove what the Minister has himself described as one of the main incentives to doctors to remain within the Ontario Health Insurance Plan — guaranteed payment and almost no bad debts. Possibly if doctors are sure they will be paid, as they now are under OHIP, they may see little incentive to stay in the plan, charging lower fees than they could command if they opted out.
