• Ontario provides -aid to hurricane -hit Jamaica
Citizenship Minister Gerry Phillips recently reported to cabinet on-
thc Ontario government mission to Jamaica. Alvin Curling, Minis-
ter of Skills Development, and MrPhilips were invited by the Ja-
ntaican government to assess the situation on the island in the after-
math of Hurricane Gilbert. -
The' ministers met with the Canadian High Commissioner to Ja-
maica, Kathryn McCallion;:Jamaica's-Deputy Prime Minister, the
Right Honourable Hugh Shearer; and several members of Jamaica's
cabinet. Discussions centred around the country's current economic
situation and its immediate needs. - _
Both ministers, as co-chairs of an interministerial committee on
assistance to Jamaica, visited areas of the island most severely affect-
ed by the hurricane. Mr. Phillips said that the hurricane had a devas-
tating impact on Jamaica's economic structure.
"Jamaica is facing a major challenge rebuilding_thc country's econ-
omy:" Mr. Philips said. "The country is working with less than one
quarter of -its -electrical capability, paralyzing most industries."
The Government of Ontario has contributed S100,000 to the Red
'Cross for relief efforts in Jamaica, while the Ministry of Health has
provided S255,000 more in medical supplies. Mr. Philips has also
contacted several businesses who have generously supplied food and
other materials to the hurricane -torn country. .
Mr. Phillips -will consult with his cabinet colleagues to prepare a
plan of action for further assistance from the people of Ontario.
Environment ministry helps fund community
recycling projects .
Markham becomes the 7Qth community -in the province to estab-
lish a Bhie Box multi -material recycling- project with financial assis-
tance from the-rninistry.
The announcement that the Ontario Ministry of thc Environment
has committed over 5500,000 to the town of Markham's new curb-
side recycling project, was made by Durham York MPP Bill Balling-
er on behalf of Environment Minister Jim Bradley.
"Jim Bradley has asked me to pass along his congratulations to
Markham for joining the growing number of Ontario communities
that arc conserving resources and landfill space by recycling," Mr.
Ballinger said: - -
"This .is a great opportunity, for the citizens of Markham to make a.
significant contribution to a better environment by participating in
-the town's recycling project •
Commenting on province -wide recycling projects, Mr. Bradley said
they -currently "divert about four percent of municipal garbage. What
a lost opportunity that statistic represents." .
"My aim is -to expand recycling so that at least fifteen percent of
Ontario's houtichold garbage is diverted from landfills." -
The Markham project is funded by the Ministry of the Environ-
ments Municipal Recycling Support Program. The program, part of
the ministry's Comprehensive Funding Program for waste manage-
ment, helps municipalities implement recycling as a component of
their waste management systems. -

Surprise, surprise!
That recent column extolling the
virtues of nuclear power for peace-
ful purposes did not bring about the
usual plethora of pointed letters
telling me how stupid it would be
to depend on nuclear energy.
I predicted that the letter box
would be All of-peaceniks and for-
mer flower children telling me .I am
a fool for suggesting that nuclear
energy should be developed and en-
' larged in Canada. A few years ago,
I got swamped with letters when I
Suggested the same thing. I got
snarky telephone calls too, suggest-
ing that I was a red -necked lout.
"If brains were dynamite," one
caller suggested, "you wouldn't
have enough to blow your nose."
And they spoke of Three -Mile Is-
land and Chernobyl and the China
Syndrome and so on. -
When I said nuclear power for
peaceful purposes is a viable alter-
native to .fossil fuels, I thought I
would be again inundated with
mail. The column was written in
mid-September. I got only three
letters this time, two pooh-poohing
the idea but one all for it.
The best - was from Lloyd
McDowell, RR 1, Stratford.
. "Your comments of September
17 made reference to only one kind
of nuclear energy fission. What
ever became of fusion?"
"Itwas predicted about 40 years
ago that the first fusion commercial
energy could be produced about the
year 2000, provided full, interrupted
funding and research was made
available from then until this great
boon to mankind became a reali-
ty...Because of a lack if discernment
between fission and fusion by a
very uninformed and worried public,
it became more and more difficult
to keep the research going.
"The- last report I saw in the
newspaper is maybe three to five
years ago. At that time, they were
about to make a very historic break-
through. For the first time, they
were going to get more energy out
than energy put in..." .
Politics, peaceniks, money
shortages, an uninformed public
was killing ,something- the human
race desperately needed..."
"Can you find out what has be-
come of fusion for energy."
A fascinating letter from Mr.
McDowell and I'm grateful for it.
But I know nothing about what
happened to the research on fusion.
Can anyone out there enlighten me?
Has the research stopped? What is
the major difference between the
two?
Nuclear fission -- that which is
used in Canada's Candu reactors 1-1
is inefficient, expensive, unreliable,
dirty, dangerous and a threat to the
world's environment although it is
quick and inexpensive to develop,
according to Mr. McDowell.
But fusion is efficient, abundant,
limitless, inexpensive (to use), reli-
able, clean, 100 percent pollution
free, perfectly safe in every •way.
However, the cost of development
is horrendously, astronomically, al-
most unthinkably expensive and
time-consuming, he says.
Most of the experts around the
world appear to agree that fossil
fuels will be exhausted in the next
50 to 100 years if we contin::e to
use them in the same profligate
way we: have for the past 50 years.
Can you visualize nuclear -
powered tractors; huge . plastic
domes over fields heated with nucle-
ar fusion? The farms of the future
could be like that and the farmers of
the future -- if there are any left by
then but that's another story -- will
have to be trained to repair and run
atomic -powered machinery and have
e
a computer on every machine and in
every stall.
Lots of fun.
Ontario beef :council
TORONTO - The Ontario Beef
Marketing Task Force report recom-
mending . the establishment of an
Ontario Beef Industry Council was
released today by Agriculture and
Food Minister Jack Riddell.
The 145 -page report contains 56
recommendations aimed at improv-
ing the entire beef industry.
"When I"established the task force
in February, I gave a free hand to
its members to come to a consen-
sus -on any changes they considered
necessary to improve beef market-
ing in Ontario," said Riddell.
The report addresses a wide range
of issues, including the beef cattle
marketing system an the existing
marketing methods, as well as other
available options.
To determine the direction beef
producers wish to take in the mar-
keting of their cattle the report rec-
ommends a vote on the question of
a more regulated form of marketing
be taken.
"The industry will be given an
opportunity to react to the recom-
mendations before I act," said Rid-
dell. - .

utivec of the Ontario Cattlemen's
Association and Beef Producers for
Change Inc., the Minister expressed
interest in establishing the Ontario
Beef Industry Council to advise on
needed infrastructure in the beef
markct to enable the sale of all fin-
ished cattle on a carcas grade and
weight basis in Ontario, within five
years.
The Minister will ask them to
name representatives to work with
ministry staff in developing the
wording of the question to be voted
on, in determining voter eligibility,
and in organizing and carrying out a
pre -vote education program for alt
beef producers.
"This would allow producers an
opportunity to express their opin-
ions on the beef marketing structure
through a vote to be conducted by
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food," said Riddell. -
"By workingdogether, I am confi-
dent that we can significantly im-
prove the long-term future of Onta-
rio's beef industry," he said.
He said proposals affecting the
beef grading system are being
passed to Agriculture Canada,
which is responsible for the admin-
istration and delivery of livestock
grading programs.
The report recommends a new
prograrrt.be initiated to enhance the
efficiency and productivity of the
beef industry. It recommends that
such a program be a successor to
the well accepted Red Meat Plan
which is due to end on March 31,
1989. -
The 16 -member task force re-
ceived and reviewed 219 written
submissions. As well, presenta-
tions were made to the group by a
number of persons with expertise in
various areas of the beef industry.
In receiving the report, Riddell
voiced his appreciation to the mem-
bers of the task force for their dedi-
cation and the many days of hard
work in conducting such a compre-
hensive study of Ontario's beef in-
dustry.
