He returned to Canada, and Western University where he then earned his honours Phys. ed, degree and Masters degree higport Psychology. For two and a half years he was on staff of the Madame Vanier Home as Director of Physical Education and is currently on staff at Craigwood at Ai Ise Craig, He and his wife, Dallas, reside on H.R. 1,' Ailsa Craig. They have a daughter, Jessica, who is only a year old but who already has enjoyed sitting in a kayak paddling in calm waters. Carefully study the patterns of the water before paddling any areas where dapger might exist. "You must analize the currents and use them to your advantage", he stress- ed. However,. even he, at one point found himself caught in an eddy but with a good background knowledge and skill, and good fortune, was able to extract himself without mishap. One of the most challeng- ing experiences occurs when one- paddler has to give help to another whose life may be in danger. "Then the only thing you think about is rescuing your companion", he stressed. "Other times you are concentrating on the water and your skills, but when someone's life is in danger you react by concen- trating only on getting the other kayak back to safety." And this, he admits, he was called upon to do on a couple of occasions, as was fellow Canadian, Michael Klugston. On an average the flow of the water was a swift 30 miles per hour down the rocky terrain. Their kayaks were built of, diolem, a fabric developed from space exploration. ,,"Kayaks have made tremendous strides in design and materials in the 10, ,TACK mom The government's refusal to held a full environmental hearing On the eolith Cayuga waste project On- thaws to be controversial, The NDP has indicated OW it might vote against the Government on this issue. Since the Liberal Party has already promised to withhold approval of Environment Ministry estimates because of the proposed site, there is 'a possibility of Government defeat if the NAP also withholds approval. If 'this happens, since the Opposition would, in fact, be denying funds to the Government this would be considered a matter of confidence. It has been suggested by the Opposition that the Government had scored a propaganda coup through the appointment of Donald Chant, co-foUnder of Pollution Probe and Director of the Joint Study Centre of Toxicology at the University of Toronto, as Chairman of the corporation to be set up to-develop and manage the $60 million site near the Grand River. Dr. Chant has indicated that he would have liked to • see an environmental assessment hearing on the site "but that is.water under the bridge now; the decision has been made. Now we'll Jack's Jottings Waste protect Controversial just have .to make sure we get the best facility possible," Alex dump An Ontario environmental tribunal which vetoed a giant toxic waste plant in Alex has. - had. its decision reversed by other board members who took no part in the pUblic inquiry, The unprecenclented rewriting and reversal revealed recently has prompted sharp criticism, threat of legal action and demands for a governmental explanation from citizens, lawyers and opposition MPPs, One of the three en, virontnental commissioners who scuttled the 8.3 million gallon Ajax scheme but were overruled by the full Ontario Environmental Assessment Board has resigned without explanation, Conflict of interest The Procedural Affairs Committee of the Ontario Legislature has recom- mended that conflict of in- terest legislation be in- torduced to apply to all provincial agencies; boards' and commissions. ,Without giving names, the committee stated in its report to the Legislature that "a serious conflict of interest problem exists with the Board of Ophthalmic Dispensers, as with other agencies..." The report states that "because agencies have varying "arm's length" relationships with Ontario Government ministries, conflict of interest rules that may be appropriate for civil servants may not be ap- propriate for "independent" agencies'''. ' The report also takes issue with the way appointments are made to the hundred of agencies, boards and commissions. These are now channelled through a committee of top officials and supporters of the Con- servative Party and con- firmed by Order-in-Council. While the appointments are made public once the decision has been made the selection process is con- fidential and largely hidden from public view. THANKS FROM THE RESIDENTS — The many residents of the Craigholme Nursing Home in Ailsa Craig, honoured Nelson Scheifele who is leaving his administrator's position shortly, Making the presentation at the left is Residents Association president Scott Whaley. No help on • fire hall Exeter will apparently be paying for the addition to the local fire hall by itself. Council received a letter from Stephen Township last week indicating they were not prepared to assist in the capital cost, which is around $20,000. Exeter approved' the con- struction, but at the same time sent letters to the Townships 'of Hay, Usborne and Stephen asking for some financial support. None has been indicated to date. The four municipalities share in the operating cost of the Exeter and Area Fire Department on a percentage basis and also share in some capital costs such as equip- ment and machinery. However, Exeter owns the building. While expressing disap- pointment at the refusal of support from Stephen, Reeve Don MacGregor noted the township was in- volved in four area fire groups and said he couldn't blame them for not sharing in the capital cost of -the ad- dition, which is nearly com- pleted. "We were kind of expec- ting it (Stephen's decision)," Councillor Lossy Fuller admitted. severance pay An Oppositoon motion to guarantee severance pay for laid-off workers was post- poned before it reached a vote because of a long debate by both oppositon parties. After the debate, the Minister of Labour, Dr. Robert Elgie, asked the Chairman of the Committee to declare both the NDP motion on severance pay and a Liberal motion on ex- tending the notice period for laid-off workers out of order. ,Hewever, no such ruling was made. PADDLE PRACTICE — Anton Jaremchuk of RR 1 Ailsa Craig, practices in his kayak in preparation for taking part in a British Expedition in Nepal with the International Paddling Fraternity this fall, By JOY SCHEIFELE What is it like to descend 1000 feet down a fast flow- ing river, through water- falls, in a kayals? For Anton Jaremchuk of R.R. 1, Ailsa " Craig, the answer simply is, "great"! A member of a 16 Man British Expedition team, Jaremchuk took part in a venture this fall never before accomplished by man. The ,expedition in- volved kayaking down the Marsandi River in Nepal,, a fast flowing river full of waterfalls with an average temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Long time a canoeing enthusiast, Jaremchuk only took up kayaking six years ago, but he soon became a devotee to the kayak. "You are completely dependent on your own skills and decisions", he explained. "If something doesn't work out, you've no one else to blame but yourself." First practicing on rivers in northern Ontario and Virginia he soon took on other challenges throughout North America and abroad and became a member of the International paddling fraternity,lheNep al expedition was some two years in the plan- ning and he, along with Michael Klugston of Toron- to, joined the international conquered tee Marsandi Rteiavmerw. .hich for the first time Due to the seasonal mon- soons careful planning found the team in Katmandu in Oc- tober, at the end of the summer monsoons, "At this time the winds are still, and the weather predictable", Jaremchuk explained. Then began their 13 day trek up the Himalayan Range to an altitude of 17,500', no easy feat in itself. Native guides accompanied them to insure their safety and help carry their boats and other equipment. Only four of the 16 com- pletely made the down river trip in a kayak. These includ- ed Jaremchuk and Michael Klugston of Toronto, Sam. Crymbel and Gerry Cullins of Ireland. The others were responsible for filming the expedition and caring for the equipment. Together the four spent the next three weeks on the river in their four metre, 17 lb. kayak.

First of all, he had to aban- don his vehicle in a ditch and then when he returned, dis- covered that an AM/FM cassette tape- player and several tapes had been stolen from th,e disabled vehicle.

The Mitchell subscribers were surveyed early in 1979. Some 81 percent replied to the Survey and of this total 79,6 per cent favoured the plan. Basic monthly rates in Mitchell will go up because of theexpanded calling area. The private residential line charge will go from $6.00 ,to $6.25 and the private business line charge will go from $12,25 to $13.90.

Bell rates are tied directly to the local calling area telephotie-number totals, a local calling area includes all exchanges the customer can react' via a local call.
