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. - —Sales above market price CLINTON - Becf calves sold well above the market price at thc 8th annual Huron -Bruce 4-11 Show & Sale on Thanksgiving Day.

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. - .

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.
