On June 21, Liberal Enivornment Critic Murray Elston (Huron -Bruce) spoke on that Ministry's Estimates for 1983/84. With respect to budget cuts, he commented that it was obviously inap- propriate to reduce the en- vironmental budget in one year by $32 million, from $346 million in 1982/83 to $314.2 million in 1983/84, when so many crucial issues demand attention. Criticizing the Minister's so-called reasons for the cuts, of changing priorities and re- organization for cost effec- tiveness, he cited some im- portant factors. For example, increased funds are needed for more sophisticated water filtration systems to remove toxic chemicals, to improve sewage systems in urban areas and fund sewage pro- grams in the rural areas, to establish waste management systems and clean-up landfill sites which have been con- taminated with liquid in- dustrial wastes. While agreeing that effi- ciency and cost effectiveness are constant goals to be striven for, and that budgetary fat must he trimm- ed, he pointed out that a $32 million cut is much more than a "trim". Estimating inflation at 6.6 percent, the budget should have been increased $22.8 million to meet the same obligations. The Ministry's budget has in effect been cut $54.8 million or 16 percent ($32 m. plus $22.8 m. ). Such a reduction signals falling government interest in the environment. The largest portion. Jach s jo1Einv Budget inappropriate $33,580,000 was cut from "Utility Planning and Opera- tions Program". Where is the logic in reducing funding to this item which covers sewage and water treatment plants, and liquid industrial waste facilities in view of the need to remove dioxins, chlorinated hydrocarbons etc. from our water, to deal effec- tively with liquid industrial waste and to upgrade sewage treatment facilities? • Why has funding been reduced for air resources by 11.4 percent (including 6.6 percent loss due to inflation), when we have such a serious acid rain problem? Why is funding for water resources reduced by 10.6 percent, in view of increasing concern about drinking water quality? Murray Elston enumerated several areas under en- vironmental planning which had been reduced substantial- ly in funding: air resources, water resources, waste management and laboratory services. He also cited a $600,000 reduction in the budget covering the removal of radioactive soil. Clearly the waybill system needs to be improved. Numerous violations have gone undetected or, if TICKETS READY The Grand Bend Concert Association met this week to organize publicity for the up- coming concert series to be held in the village from Oc- tober until April. Youth and Music of Canada will provide artists for four concerts and two bonus concerts by area musicians will be added to the program.

Many (hanks are expressed to all the folks who helped last week at the Ecumenical Bible School held at St. John's Parish Hall, for children of the local churches. daughters, Marnie and Fiona, are home after a Iwo week holiday. They travelled to Quebec City and visited friends near by for a few days. Side trips included a tour of the 11e D'Orlean, to St. Jean Por-joli where they saw wood carving, pottery and weaving, and to Montmoren- cy Falls. Another visit was made with friends at Troif Riviere. On their return trip they stopped in Ottawa to see the Parliament Buildings and stayed at the Chateau Laurier. In Peterborough they stopped to visit Philip's 91 .year old uncle, Harry Redmond. Rev. and Mrs. Harold Dob- son (a former United Church Minister here) holidayed last week in Grand Bend and visited an evening with Alex and Clara Hamilton and other friends.

Sincere sympathy is ex- pressed to Rev. and Mrs. John Campbell, Laura and detected, then unprosectued. Far too many truckloads of hazardous wastes are disap- pearing into illegal dumps throughout Ontario. For ex- ample, last year it was revealed that some 80,000 gallons of highly toxic liquid industrial wastes were dumped in the Pauze landfill site in Perkinsfield over a three -night period in July 1978. People continue to com- plain about "midnight dumping." Mr. Elston also stated: "The area that I am very much concerned with is still access by individuals to en- vironmental information and access of individuals to the courts in situations of en- vironmental problems arising in other areas. "I would like you ( the Minister) to comment specifically on aspects of our Ontario environmental rights bill which we have tabled two or three years in a row now. We did not introduce it this time, or at least this last time, but we have seen some steps forward. I have even seen a section or two that looks strangely familiar being in- troduced in some of your .pro- posed legislation. For that I commend you even if you do not provide us with some of the credit for generating these ideas." In a press statement on the 13th June , Mr. Elston had asked if the government's "Blueprint for Waste Management" was another act of public relations destin- ed to add yet more waste paper to the piles of Ontario's garbage. "What we need", he said, "are not more policy documents and press con- ferences from the Ministry of the Environment. It has given us the same sermons time and again. On December 19, 1974, then Minister of the En- vironment, Mr. William Newman, issued the Solid Waste Task Force Report making virtually the same call for the four 'Rs' - reduc- tion, re -use, recovery and recycling. "On January 25, 1974, then Environment Minister James Auld said 'Sanitary landfill is an interim operation to use where and when the reclama- tion of material or energy from waste is not practical." "The Ministry of the En- vironment should reduce its rhetoric, save us the wasted time and begin to use the mechanisms it has in place to properly manage the flow of waste in Ontario." Thieves are busy At press time yesterday, Exeter OPP were still in- vestigating breakins that oc- curred overnight at two Hen- sall store,§. Entered were Hensall Pro Hardware and Ron's Health Centre. No estimate on the value of goods stolen was available. Also under investigation -was the theft of a vehicle from Kyle's service centre in llensall. Two vehicles were stolen this week from F'rayne Chev- Olds in Exeter and an antique safe was also hauled away. The safe was empty, although the thieves did manage to get some cash from the auto dealership and did about $2,000 damage to a 1983 model vehicle in the ser- vice area. All the keys for the used cars were stolen, but a TV and a large number of tools that had been moved to a door were left behind for some reason. On Sunday, police were ad- vised of a hreakin at the Huron Park residence of Brian Williams, 160 Algon- quin Drive. A stereo valued at $800 was carted away by the thieves who gained entry by smashing a window, Tim.s-Advocate, August 3, 1983 Pogo 19 WissHNtuuuntsottoluulttuunnnulmmissisi mitt sisS l._Llt t• Mary's Q�a M11,41414S 44 RY Is.,,RY ALDERSON I have itchy feet. And poun- ding the pavement up and down the driveway doesn't help. I want to go places. Oh, I guess I'd better ex- plain who I am. I'm Pepper. I'm mostly springer spaniel (we won't talk about my father's side of the family tree) and I live with Mary and Victor. • This week I'm celebrating my fourth birth- day. So I get to write this col- umn - Mary lets me give you an updated progress report each year on my birthday. Well, that brings me to my problem - let's face it - I'm just not going anywhere. Things haven't changed much at all in the past year. My career goals haven't been achieved. Even though I catch every road hockey ball that Victor fires at me with his slap shot, no NHL scouts have offered me goalie pads. I'm still chas- ing the same old cats - no new tigers or even skunks in the neighbourhood to offer a challenge. And as far as hon- ing my swimming skills: I can paddle across the Ausable River Cut faster than anyone in the area, but the Olympic team hasn't. called. - Yet. So I'm chasing the same old ball, harassing the same old. cats, and diving off the same old dock into the same old river. It's time I was moving on. My skills are being neglected. At the ripe old age of four, a dog has to make a name for himself. Don't get me wrong - it's not that I haven't tried to move out of here. Everytime I see an open car door I figure I've found my ticket out of here. Like the other day when Mary left her car door open after she carried a bag of groceries into the house. I sat in that car for two hours, but I just didn't get anywhere. We live right next door to a ANTIQUE CAR SHOW The Duplex, the Galt, the Clinton or the Maxwell. If you aren't familiar with the names of these early 1900 cars, perhaps you should visit the Lambton Heritage Museum on Sunday, August 14 when the golden days of auto touring will come alive. The days activities begin at 1 p.m. Memories of gas sell- ing for 19 cents a gallon and cars cruising at 25 miles per hour will be brought back as you view the vintage automobiles. After inspecting these steam, gas and battery powered vehicles, come and take part in some of the day's more vigorous activities. Children can test their agili- ty in a game of dragon's tail or thread the needle, while the adults can take part in con- tests such as the spike drive, tug of war or the logsaw com- petition. These family ac- tivities will add to the old time picnic atmosphere of the Auto Rally. Prizes for these events will be donated by the CHOK news van which will be pro- viding music for the day. The antique autos will be at the museum from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Refreshments will be available throughout the day at the museum which is located on Highway 21, five miles south of Grand Bend. boat launching ramp, and every weekend there's a steady stream of cars back- ing boats into the river. You'd be surprised how many peo- ple jump out of their car or truck to push the boat off the trailer, and leave their car door open. So I jump in. Sometimes I sit in the driver's seat and check to make sure they have that handle firmly in the position. Sometimes I sit in the passenger seat, so the driver won't notice me right away when he gets back into the car. I've even travell- ed 20 or 30 feet down the lane before I get pushed or pulled out of the passenger door. You know, it's surprising how some folks resent hit- chhikers more than others. Some people get really upset, especially when I climb in their car just after I've had a swim. Now, just so you don't think I'm not a dog of the world, I do get around once in a while. I can always tell when Mary's taking me on a jaunt. She comes out to the car fully equipped. First there's my big blue towel to put over the seat. Then there's the Windex to clean my nose prints off the windshield. And of course, we have paper towel to wipe off the dash, just in case I happen to drool a bit. And then, if I happen to drop a hair or two, she takes along a Miracle Brush or the Dustbuster But despite all these sup- plies, the extent of my travels seems to be Ipperwash Beach and a swim in Lake Huron. I'm ready for bigger and bet- ter things. Well, the other day I made up my mind. I was going places. I jumped in Mary and Victor's car and I sat there. I sat there all afternoon and evening. I knew sooner or later they'd be going out. Sure enough, they came along and told me to get out of the car. They pushed me and pulled my collar, and tried to bribe me with promises of treats. I refused to budge. Finally I won my case. The three of us drove off together. I was elated. A few minutes later the car stopped. I leaped out, ready to sniff out new territory. Unfortunately, we were parked right beside my dog house. My chain was snapped on my collar and they drove off again. See what I mean about not getting anywhere?
