Ontario Environment Minister Susan Fish proposes National PCB Action Program A detailed action pro- gram for the control and eventual elimination .of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was outlined by Ontario Environment Minister Susan Fish at the May 31 meeting of federal and provincial environment ministers in Montreal. "'Our challenge is to show the people that their governments have full con- trol of the situation, that we can and do regulate the use, handling, transportation and disposition of PCBs and that we are working in full accord and in the best interests of the public,"' Ms. Fish told the assembl- ed environment ministers from across Canada. She set out a six-point Ontario section plan "to ensure that our own house is in order,"' including: - Tightening up and im- proving emergency response. - Ensuring that industry in Ontario conforms to and complies with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. - Notifying other pro- vinces and the federal government of PCB movements leaving the province. - Expanding Ontario's waste manifest system to ensure that the originator of wastes is accountable for C & H CARPET AND - UPHOLSTERY CLEANING Now in Schreiber and Terrace Bay For appointment, please call: 824-2358 Babe Spikula Cs aap 824-2030 Pat Smith GARAGE SALE on Saturday June 22 402 Erie Street Schreiber ' from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Come out and Browse.

Ms. Fish challenged other provinces to match Ontario's commitment to a national PCB management program, to open borders for PCB transport to destruction facilities, to cooperation in investigation and enforcement and to full sharing of facilities and in- formation for safe and ef- fective PCB transportation and disposal. "'Beyond this, we must look to © Environment Canada and the federal government,"' she said. "I see Canada's role in PCB management in terms of providing leadership and co-ordination, sharing responsibility and accoun- tability and providing resources and_ technical skills." She urged the federal government to develop a national PCB attrition strategy and to provide sites and funding for ex- periments and demonstra- tions of new PCB destruc- tion technology. She 'also called for an improved federal-provincial emergency response capability for transboun- dary incidents and_ for federal procedures and resources. to handle spill cleanup from federally regulated-utilities such as railways, ships, pipelines and airlines. Ontario's program also looks to the federal govern- ment for national standards and emission criteria for PCBs which can be applied Senior Citizens Yes we are Senior Citizens of this world and know what it means to at- tend church each Sunday. We were taught to obey God's Commandments and respect the Lord. Also Tespect the elder people and parents. Yes we are senior Citizens and a good . many of us forgotten and ignored - we are the peo- ple of experience and knowledge. We are the ones that helped to build this country. We know the value of money and a good working knowledge of Life's ways and hardships - took it in our stride and carried on - we do not want to be pushy but if asked, we can still offer assistance with out experiences in liv- ing and working. There is some good in all of us yet and it is pleasant to know that we are still wanted - not left on a shelf and forgotten. Keeping active is one of life's blessings, It keeps one still familiar with one's community and the country's affairs. The word OLD has many meanings. It could be the process of AGING. Some say that we are sort of gruff and cranky but that can be applicable to the younger generation as well, even a baby can be out of sorts. So it does not really follow that the Seniors can only be that as age does not be associated with these moods. Health problems can disturb peo- ple young or old with be- ing uncomfortable from headaches to 'arthritis. There are so many wonder- ful young or old people, in- spite of sufferings are wonderful people to know the youth or the elderly can suffer pain. Aches and pains can make it difficult to communicate with others whether the youth or elder- ly. Geriatrics is the science of aging and we all meet up with it sooner or later in our lives. Everyone wants to live a longer life. Never in the history of the world has so many people lived to be so old. About a century ago, rarely did the average per- son live beyond forty years, but today to live to 80 or beyond is common. They are the challenge of our creative years, but continued on page 8 Why do some cuts heal consistently across Canada. In addition, it calls for a na- tional system to track and regulate interprovincial movement of PCB wastes, shared cleanup costs in in- cidents involving inter- provincial transportation and some federal legisla- tion or other action to en- sure provinces have the right to control movement of dangerous goods into or out of their jurisdiction. Ms. Fish concluded: "*The people of Canada are looking to us for resolute and prompt action to deal with these wastes and eliminate them as a hazard tc public health and en- vironmental integrity.'"'
