the tribune thursday april 13 1978 5 retirement the fourth quarter the elderly will no longer be second class citizens that role will be visited upon the young this was a 1970 prophecy by writer harvey wbeeler the rise of the elders saturday review it may be coming true quoting such authorities as dr alex comfort author of best selling the joy of sex he said that we will be able to slow down the rate of aging aging would not necessarily be lengthened the extra years would be added to the prime of life period since then dr comfort has written by leslie holbrook- another influential book the good age meaning the senior years he now is even more fascinated by the potential for retarding the aging process and extending the good years an old genetical joke is that the best way to live in health to a high age is to choose four long lived grandparents our genes are an important factor in longevity but we must make do with the ones vre inherited however we can watch for warnings in our genetic history a family pattern of heart attacks for example and take precautions not editors mail alternatives to bigpipe letter to the editor the sewage story published in the markham economist and sun dated february 9 1978 was read with great interest it gives an in- t teresting if superficial description of the prin ciples of sewage treat- l ment there are yet a number of things which should be said about the york durham trunk sewer which are not mentioned in the article and perhaps are even more important than the principles of the treat ment process itself first the planning implications it has been the tradition in ontario that where sewer and water services are provided development follows the toronto centered region plan durham board hiring asinine dear sir as a parent former teacher and taxpayer i object strenuously to durham regions stated policy concerning hiring of new teachers i readily admit that t we must look for means to decrease expenditure in the region but to attempt to do this by hiring new teachers on the basis of lack of experience is asinine certainly it costs less in terms of money to hire teachers straight from the faculty of education and some jobs should be made available to this group however to make a blanket policy that all teachers hired should be inexperienced could lead to far greater social costs any person no matter how well qualified on paper needs actual classroom experience to become a good teacher there is no substitute for practise and the old adage practise makes perfect is especially true for teaching ways of handling and or preventing discipline problems different teaching methods and relationships with students are all improved through actual teaching experience all new teachers need substantial support from more experienced staff the long term results of durhams policy will be to deplete this human resource bank and no doubt significantly reduce the quality of education i am a taxpayer in durham and my taxes have increased con siderably in the past five years as a rural tax payer i dont have a lot of services provided the main ones being roads and education it distresses me that for higher taxes our children should be getting lower quality instruction and it should distress you too sincerely barbara olivella new liskeard 75th dear sir i this year the town of new liskeard ontario is planning its 75th birth- day and in conjunction with these festivities a school homecoming event all former students and staff who attended any school in new liskeard at any time invited the new liskeard secondary school will be open for s hosting visitations on saturday july 1st a mammoth dance and reunion is planned in the town arena that evening to have your name put on our attendance list please contact the new liskeard school home- coming po box 730 new liskeard on tario poj ipo please forward the names and addresses of other former new liskeard students and staff yours sincerely jack willars chairman nx school homecomings provides for maintenance of various communities north of toronto and the prevention of one com munity growing into another by provision of green belt surrounding the various municipalities however the provision of a sewerage system along the line from lake on tario through to newmarket will en courage the development of homes commercial operations and in dustries all the way up the route from the mouth of the duffin along the rouge to the headwaters of the holland river a frightening spectre second the con servation implications a large system must be flushed by large quan tities of water instead of the possibility of recycling water and waste resources as near source as possible they are earned many miles where nutrients must be incinerated and water dumped in the lake thus the principles of the conserver society as set forth by the- science council of canada are negated future generations will lose these resources we should be asking what are the alter natives clearly one alternative is to develop a series of upstream waste- water treatment facilities each one designed to the maximum of modern day technology to protect the receiving stream some of which aredry during several months of the year by providing wastewater treatment facilities at the downstream end of each municipality there is a much better chance of protecting the green belt between that municipality and the next one certainly much greater protection than would be the case if a full size trunk sewer were to pass through that green belt another issue at stake here if in fact the technology for water pollution control is not sufficiently refined to maintain that level of protection then presumably what the york durham sewer actually does is it con centrates the risk of a very large population at one location clearly in the event of failure of such a large sewage treatment plant as the one proposed for duffins creek the effects on lake ontario would be quite disastrous thus those wastes which were previously dispersed throughout a large en vironment become concentrated in one location and magnify the problem therefore save the rouge valley system conservation group has concluded that while the technology of the york durham sewer proposal might be entirely reasonable there are alternatives which can be considered better from the standpoint of con servation of water resources and waste nutrients and at the same time reduce the magnitude of the en vironmental impact and reduce the pressures on our future political leaders for a dense corridor of development from lake ontario to lake simcoe these alternatives we believe have not been explored sufficiently and should be carefully examined by the political leaders of the municipalities concerned before the capital in vestment becomes so great that decisions to continue building phases 2 3 and 4 become irreversible and future generations are left locked in to a rigid system costly wasteful sincerely bruce searle chairman save the rouge valley system markham smoking weight control regular exercise other experts agree that the rise of the elders is less likely to come from adding much more to the maximum life span than from controlling the aging process itself we may have many more years of middle age for active leadership and par ticipation in the worlds affairs we may live as if we were forty years old for a period of fifty or even sixty years ail of which will make the present mandatory retirement rules even more ridiculous than they are today control of the human rate of aging is going to happen dr comfort tells us how soon it happens depends upon the social pressures we exert for research and the wisdom with which that research is applied in the meantime you can slow down your own rate of aging by keeping healthy curious and creative we have no wish to be kept semi alive but if we can stretch out those good years it will be great fun writer wheeler waxes whimsical by arguing that come the changes the only func tion of the young will be to become elderly the politics fashions and culture of the sixties and seventies have been strongly influenced by youth and their protests this is tapering off fewer children are being born we are living longer wheeler sees a society predominately composed of and dominated by older but still vigorous men and women youth centred styles will give away to age centred styles for those of the young who are selected for admission into the company of elders premature aging treatments will be available so they can move from youth directly into desirable middle age youths of course will vie fiercely with one another in an effort to qualify for selection to undergo accelerated aging treatments x it wont be the first time in history that the elderly have dominated and directed a society send your questions and comments to the tribune co po box 1506 guelph ontario nlh 6n9 no more
