Zurich Citizens News, 1976-10-13, Page 9The main issues under discussion during the first year of this Legislature were connected with inflation and the Ontario Government's restraint programme. These have tended to overshadow other matters. Over the past twelve months, considerable attention has been focused on "law and order". The Ombudsman ordered an in- vestigation of prison conditions, and the Attorney -General an- nounced a crack -down on hockey game violence and people who drink and drive. An all -Party Select Committee was established to consider over-all questions of highway safety, accident prevention and driver education, with special reference to alcohol-related driving of- fences, particularly by young people. Driver licences, with a photograph of the individual driver, were mentioned as a possibility. A bill to control rowdyism in Provincial Parks has been introduced, and the anticipated reduction in the number of beach patrols did not take place. The Government's long- awaited Farm Income Stabilization Plan was totally inadequate and unacceptable to Opposition Parties, who directed the Government to introduce improved legislation by the end of October. Many Ontario communities were ordered to shut -down their arenas because of structural defects. Eventually some help was forthcoming in this con- nection, through Wintario and a grant of 25 percent of total cost of repair and replacement under the Community Recreation Centres Act. Legislation was passed making the wearing of seat -belts man- datory, and speed limits were reduced, to 60 mph on ex- pressways, 50 mph on other high- ways. In May the Government announced these measures have saved about one life a day since introduc tion, There has been much discussion of possibly energy supply shortages and price in- creases. In November, we were informed home -heating bills were expected to increase 13 percent to 29 percent. Ontario's Energy Minister condemned federal energy strategy, but both Opposition Parties condemned his alternative "blended" oil price. The Legislature's Com- mittee studying Hydro's 1976 rates predicted an increase, of 34.5 percent in the cost of producing electric power next year. In connection with the Province's housing needs, the present Minister described the Government's $1,500 grant to first-time home buyers a "gross error", because no income ceilings were imposed for eligibility purposes. Legislation was passed limiting rent in- creases (except for rent -geared - to -income units) to 8 percent for at least a year, and requiring landlords to justify termination of leases. New home warranty legislation is intended to protect new house buyers against shoddy workmanship and materials. In the area of pollution, and as a result of Opposition pressure, United Asbestos in Matachewan was ordered to close because of unsafe asbestos -fibre readings; smelter lead emissions are to be controlled, and stringent limits are to be enforced for vinyl chloride pollution in industrial plants. Ontario is to study the effects of mercury -contaminated fish on the health of two Kenora- area Indian bands, if the Indians agree. The Government has initiated courses to train government inspectors in the detection of potential health hazards from air and noise pollution. The Minister of Colleges an- nounced increased fees for "new foreign" students at colleges and universities. He also admitted that some community colleges had large investment portfolios. In his view, industrial training MR. AND MRS. STEVE KADLECIK Phyllis Diane Desjardine and Stephen George Kadlecik exchanged marriage vows at the Church of God,. Grand Bend on September 25, 1976. Rev. Campbell officiated. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Phyllis Desjardine and the late Everett Desjardine and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. George Kadleick, all of Grand Bend. The matron of honour .was Mrs. Shirley Page and the bridesmaids were Sandra Munn and Mrs. Chris Gaskin, Brad Page was best man and guests were ushered by John Stein and Michael Kadlecik. Karen Schenk was flower girl andthe ring bearer was Jonathon Schenk. The couple are residing at Southcott Pines, Grand Bend. Pix by Peake needs are not being met in Ontario and a new Industrial Training Council is to advise the Government about this problem, More judges were hired to alleviate the backlog of cases in our courts, and a Blind Persons Act would permit blind people to take their seeing eye dogs into restaurants and public places. Proposed changes in the estates law would give property rights to common law wives. The Ontario Food Council is to be expanded in its research and public information functions; anyone selling meat for . human consumption from animals which Citizens News, October 13, 1976 -Page 9 had died from causes other than slaughtering risks suspension or loss of licence; a Consumer Warranty Bill has been in- troduced, but there will be delay in implementation until other provinces introduce similar legislation; there are now guidelines giving Ontario women the same access to credit as men. The Premier indicated the Government does not intend to resurrect proposals for a new federal airport in Pickering, Meanwhile there has been a long- drawn-out dispute, featuring Housing Minister John Rhodes and the Ombudsman, on the subject of expropriated property in the area. We also learned that virtually anyone can purchase up to 100 pounds in dynamite at a local hardware store or other licensed outlet; that the Government is collecting information on elec- trically -powered cars and has spent some $6 million on preliminary designs for a suc- cessor to the ill-fated Krauss - Maffei magnetic cushion train.
