" OPINION ‘Halton has one of highest rates of breastfeeding Dear Sir: Recent media attention has focused on breastfeeding because of the celebration of World Breastfeeding Week, August 1st to 8th. Unfortunately, some of the content has been of an alarmist nature. According to reports, Bristow was put on the agency‘s payroll six month‘s prior to the formation of the group. Bristow, along with Wolfgang Droege and Gerry Lincoln, is considered a founding memâ€" ber of the Heritage Front which today is considered by CSIS to be a potential threat to national security. On the one hand, perhaps CSIS should be congratulated for infilâ€" trating the ranks of the white racist Heritage Front to the highest level. On the other hand, we have to wonder whether CSIS was actuâ€" ally infiltrating the group or was it being duped into actually funding it. According to the allegations in news reports, Grant Bristow, who is described as the heritage Front‘s intelligence and security chief, was a paid informant for CSIS. In 1993 he is reported to have received between $50,000 to $60,000 from Canada‘s spy agency. If it wasn‘t so alarming, perhaps we could laughingly look upon it as a governmentâ€"makeâ€"work project that actually succeeded for a change. However, there is nothing funny about the Heritage Front and the vile racist message it tries to spread across the country. _~ Reports from . British Columbia and from an American T.V. show have highâ€" lighted the dire consequences of the effects on babies when their mothers do not produce sufficient milk to meet their nutritional needs. Dear Sir: s This letter is in response to the Public Awareness Program "Chiropractic and Good Health" which appeared in The Oakville Beaver, on Sunday, Aug. 14th. at‘s the point of having a spy agency if you have nothing \ ’s / to spy upon? Perhaps that‘s the logic behind the recent alleâ€" gations that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service â€" CSIS â€" had one of the founding members of country‘s most promiâ€" nent neoâ€"Nazi group on its payroll as a paid informant. Through the informant it may have even helped fund the group‘s formation. Has CSIS been duped, or was it successful in infiltrating the Heritage Front‘s hierarchy.? If it was successful in filtrating the orgaâ€" nization, however, why has it been allowed to flourish and grow since its inception? Was Bristow simply playing CSIS officials for fools by feeding them useless information in exchange for a comfortâ€" able salary? The Security Intelligence Review Committee â€" an independent civilian committee with extensive powers â€" is investigating the allegations. The findings of that committee must be made public when the investigation is completed. While it is only natural for a spy agency to desire secrecy over its actions, the doubts raised by the Bristow affair demand answers to valid questions about the agency‘s competency. Hiding behind closed doors will not restore the public‘s confidence in the security agency. nutritional needs. It is so importa-nt that she trouble.

Spy Caring for Our Water rather than the best possible way of nurturing a baby and protecting both a baby and the mother from many diseases. Breastfeeding is a learned skill. For millions of years, mothers have learned to breastâ€" feed from other mothers. A mother may be in hospital for only a couple of days after giving birth. This is not suffiâ€" cient time for her and the baby to learn to breastfeed. to get the impression all chiroâ€" practors feel that removing a pinch in the nervous system will cure all disease, or that all drugs are directed to symptom relief only and, therefore, patients should not take them for fear of side effects.

According to the Beaver‘s editorial of Aug. 14th, it seems that the Mayor and the editorial board of the Beaver think this is praiseworthy. Really!

Many Halton mothers will testify that their babies have grown strong and healthy on nothing but breastmilk until they were four to six months old. This should, at least, be tried prior to decisions on 100â€"metre stacks being implemented.

It cannot be said enough times and is in Emergency Services memo, as well as, this Environmental Study, that the bridge across Rebecca is needed now as it is the only way to improve an otherwise potentially dangerous response time for Fire, Ambulance, and Police. This has been expressed by the public in numerous of the public meetings, as well as, the Planning and Development meeting on May 25th, when council passed this Environmental Study Report. It can be hoped that in future more comments from the public will stress the benefits to the community of having this Transportation Network in place with a committee â€" as promised by council â€" for input on the impact and design of the whole project. Many people, including the West Oakville Ratepayers Inc., have followed and will continue to follow the developments of this project, and we hope that there is soon a resolution that can allow the pressing needs of all of the community to be addressed. 3. The notion that the northerly crossing will have a substanâ€" tial impact on the existing traffic flow is inconsistent with the nature of the traffic flow as studied. Therefore, the extra $28â€" million that may be borne by the Oakville taxpayer to build that bridge before the industrial lands north of Rebecca are develâ€" oped, may be a questionable financial adventure for all taxpayâ€" ers. Dear Sir: 2. The fact that they chose to present these issues to the minâ€" ister to resolve meant that the process to begin the transportation network had to be put on hold until November â€" a loss of five months. This seems contrary to their desire to have the process moved ahead and was probably unnecessary had they consulted with the other members of the consensus group, that they were a named part of, who received coâ€"operative response from staff and representatives when we moved as a group. The community as a whole would benefit greatly if the bridge at Rebecca could be opened in 1997. While Roman Bandi and Kevin Murphy have the right to express their concerns about the proposed transportation netâ€" work for Burloak Drive and Rebecca Street, it is misleading for them to indicate that Bronte residents (20% of which live west of the creek), were not given adequate information. Perhaps, they did not attend the many public meetings that have been given over the last five to six years concerning the Burloak Secondary plan and this one year $400,000 Environmental Study Report. Let‘s look at some facts. 1. The additional car count on Rebecca Street at peak hours is only projected to occur in the year 2011 and brings the total to well below the 1600/hr that is Rebecca Street capacity. Right now in 1994, Lakeshore Road is at 700 cars over capacity with smaller streets like Mississauga handling excessive overflow. The way to overcome traffic on Rebecca lies more in enhancing public and alternate transit instead of merely restricting and attempting to reroute traffic. â€" LETTER OF THE DAY Delay doesn‘t solve urgent need for Rebecca Street bridge Odnhle.isomonheMetmlande Publishing Distributing Ltd. of suburban newspapers_ which includes: Ajax-Pld(eWerfiser, Barre ance, Brampton Guardian, Burlington Post, Etobicoke Independent/ Acton Free Press, Kingston This Week, Lindsay This Week, Markham Economist and Sun, Si mfivillelUdeqe Tribune, Milton ‘Canadian Champion, Mississauga News, Nemnm%-iksu%ra eempâ€"ggwm Nommisork Mirror, R%‘akvllle Beaver, Orillia Todr:fi Oshawa/Wnitby rborough Week, imond Hil/ThomhilWaug Liberal, Mirror.
