Oroo WkIyTiesWedesdySepembr 2, 1994- Thirty-nine and sifil counting Monday of this week marked the 39th day of hospitalization and have bounced fromn Picton to Kingston, home for a day, oni>' tben to meet tbe friendly face of our local doctor, Dr. Angi at Memorial Hospital, Bowmanviile. At this point I'm not about to make any concrete prediction - perhaps a couple more days. If notbing else there bas been plenty of time to think and of course read. A t times everytbing throughout the wbole world and even ito our country seemns twbe in constant turmoil. It brings up' the thought of what is in the future and who will ultimately decide. There are different vieWpoints from ail directions but in the past these diverse viewpoints have welded together to provide such as our present day healtb-core system. Now I amn not an authority on the bealtb-care system by wbich I have been cared for over the past thirty-nine days. >1,1,is a system that is apparently iâ,-ix and possibly some change. But it is a system along witb otber similiar systems based on the humanity of man that has placed Canada at the top of that UN list as the best place to live. Our system of medicare, unemployment, welfare etc. etc. did not happen by chance other then care for our neigbbour. It is to be hoped tbat this continues. Apparently the mould was set in the 30's and 40's witb. considerable -direction, at the time, by the CCF, social party of Saskatchewan. But down through the years it bas been the desire of the people tbat bas beld firmn for a humanistic programn for ahl of its people. Wbile in hospital 1 bave spoken to a young nurse wbo with ten others left Canada to nurse in South Carolina. She said the equipment available in the U.S. bospitals surpasses that available in Canada. When asked if it was available to everyone the answer was "No". A recent article in MacLeans news magazine writes of one graduating doctor in Alberta wisbing wo practice in a rural area - $ 150,000 a year for seven days and nigbts a week. She accepted a position in Wyoming at $250,000, five days and one evening. *There are problems no doubt in the operation of our sy stem of medicare but it must continueto be available to everyone and that we can be assured'tbat it is a humanistic approacb for al parties.

According to the regulations of the Municipalit>' of Clarington it was also a premature start and the candidate bas been asked to take down the signs and wil likely be charged. Although the ElectionAct does not regulate the placement or time of placement of election signs a regulation does exist in Clarington that election signs are allowed sixty days prior to an election. With the election falling on November l4th the.signs should flot appear prior to September lSth. The municipality received a number of complaints. Majesky agreed wo take down the signs but feels that ail candidates in Ontario should operate under the same rules. He also was provided with Ontario Election information upon filing bis mntent but was not presented with the Clarington regulation goverming signs. Judy Trotter, owner of Sit 'N Sip Coffee and Donuts, says it isn'trigbt because wbile the power is out, the thre busînesses wiil lose business.

Niva Rowan, representing SAGA and STORM, environmental committees, she again asked council to save tbe Oak Ridges Moraine and that new aggregate extractions be eliminated from the Oak Ridges Moraine. She said she was aware of the need for gravel but there were the needs of green and water. Clarington is also asking that the province consider some clarifications so as not wo create a financial burden on municipalities as to studies.
