October 7th, 1982.
At last, GO Train service will be expanded to Hamilton.
And the sawdust turned for Hamilton's airport revitalization.
Well, a very good soggy evening everyone.
I'm Dan McLean and this is TV 11 Newsroom.
Hi everybody, I'm Dick Meadows on a bad soggy evening.
We have got lots of baseball.
We've got plenty of track from Brisbane and some fine high school football in the rain.
Dan?
One year for planning and three years for construction.
In four years, GO Train service between Hamilton and Toronto will be a reality.
The multi-billion dollar extension of the province's passenger train network was announced by Queens Park today.
Dan Rath was there.
It's a giant 20-year plan to flesh out the transit system between Hamilton and Oshawa and tie it all together.
With more than 100 municipal officials looking on, Transport Minister Jim Snow announced the plans here at Queens Park.
GO Train lines inside Metro Toronto will be more than doubled. Outside the city, two major lines.
A 162 million dollar extension from Pickering to Oshawa and a 252 million dollar line from Oakville to Hamilton.
The red line on this map shows the Hamilton end of the strategy.
A new GO Train line using existing rail corridors that starts at a yet to be determined point in Hamilton and splits in two in Oakville.
One line will run to downtown Toronto, the other north of Highway 401 with direct connections to Toronto International Airport.
The cars in the line will be electric, a version of the UTDC cars and track, but not the version turned down by Hamilton for local use.
For the Hamilton region, the line means not only vastly improved connections with Toronto, but jobs.
More than 40,000 man years of labor.
Hamilton Mayor Bill Powell is overjoyed.
Planning will provide a lot of work for Drafton and so forth.
Then the construction part will provide a lot of work for our workers in the Hamilton area, for our steel mills and our concrete manufacturers.
I think it's going to be a great boost to the economy.
I asked a specific question because if they were going to start at the other end of the line and come down this way,
but I was assured that it would be done in various sections according to the cooperation they got from the municipality and we're going to start tomorrow.
Oh look, if the regional government doesn't and the city don't make decisions quickly on this, there will be a great deal of criticism.
And I would hope we may be able to get some of the important leaders in the community to help us on this because it's terribly important.
We have to be decisive.
There are criticisms though.
UTDC critic Eric Cunningham believes other technologies could have meant a lower cost.
The most prudent thing would have been to call for public tenders and to ask whether Hawker Sidley has some ideas or Bombardier, two good Canadian companies.
And maybe even foreign companies.
But Snow says consultants report showed UTDC operating costs are lower in the long run by 50 percent, a key determining factor for the province.
When the system all comes together, it will mean some amazing changes for people who live in the Hamilton area.
Imagine being able to hop on a go train in Hamilton and get off at Toronto International Airport.
In Toronto, Dan Rath, TV 11 Newsroom.
Still more good news for Hamilton and area that multi-million dollar expansion project at Hamilton Civic Airport is officially underway.
Stan Keyes reports.
This is the most jet traffic Hamilton Airport has seen since Nordair went on strike at noon on July 26.
Transport Minister Jean-Luc Paypain and Hamilton East MP John Monroe arrived at Hamilton Civic Airport in Mount Hope in separate government jets.
It was a sopping wet sod turning ceremony which marked the beginning of construction of the 48.7 million dollar expansion project at Hamilton Airport.
Dufferin Construction of Oakville has started work on the aircraft parking apron, which will be completed next year.
The apron is being enlarged in preparation for the expansion of the terminal building, which is scheduled for completion in 1985.
Construction of the new runway, marked in red, will begin next year and should be finished by 1986.
Paypain said the two main handicaps are behind us now.
The funds are committed and there will be more frequency in the number of flights.
Last thing which is needed is a commitment on the part of the population, the like of which you've never seen.
Because now that the government has moved to break the vicious circle, the rest of the job or much of the rest of the job has to be done by the municipal organization,
by the different bodies that constitute the population of Hamilton and area.
It's estimated that by 1991, close to half a million people will be using the newly expanded facilities that triples the number of people that used Hamilton Airport last year.
Stan Keyes, TV 11 Newsroom.
Predictions today that while inflation is slowing and Canada's economy is bottoming out, it still won't be out of the woods next year, probably not until 1984.
And 1983 unemployment may rise to 13 percent.
That may be especially bad for highly industrialized places like Hamilton.
The story from Newsroom's Morris Stasek.
Those were some of the predictions today from the conference board of Canada at a big business gathering here at the Toronto Hilton Harbour Castle Hotel Convention Center.
The independent forecasting organization holds this event each October to look ahead and see what may be in store for the economy in the year ahead.
The real bad part of the forecast is that some of the recovery is not going to take place in the heavy industry sectors.
Those are some of the major industry problems are there with the unemployment, with the layoffs, with the excess plant capacity.
So that means that you're not going to be creating jobs.
It means possibly in 84 you start to create them.
But during this period from now until then, you're bringing more people into the workforce.
The population is growing in Canada and more people want jobs.
So that's as things pushing the unemployment rate up.
But not that layoffs are increasing anymore, but just basically more and more people are being put into the workforce.
So it doesn't look very good for any region, town, which has a high concentration of primary or really basic industry, the smokestack industries.
And the New York economist, Gary Wenglowski, predicted at this conference that a strong, not modest, recovery in the U.S. economy should start to surface in the spring of next year.
With U.S. inflation rates continuing below 6 percent and interest rates continuing to fall.
In Toronto, Morris Stasek, TV 11 newsroom.
Prime Minister Trudeau's cabinet and top advisors met at Meach Lake again today for another planning session before Parliament resumes October 27th.
As Ken Lawrence reports, no stone is being left unturned in looking for money to spend.
With the deficit running at something in the range of 20 billion dollars this year, the government does not intend,
at least it says, to increase the debt anymore.
However, the Cabinet Planning and Priorities Committee is looking for programs to cut so they can spend money for job creation ventures.
It has not been easy.
Today, with the Prime Minister sick in bed with the flu, the senior ministers spent the second day of mulling over the budget.
One area being given serious consideration is immigration.
The number of refugees to be allowed in next year might be cut to as low as 10,000.
Many of the refugees from such places as Vietnam and Cambodia or Kampuchea are no longer sponsored by churches and others and find themselves on welfare.
Employment Minister Lloyd Axworthy.
We're not done with cutting.
Our problem we've been facing now is a substantial increase in costs because of the economic circumstances.
And we're just trying to balance out bringing a new wave of refugees and immigrants would cause even further difficulties for them primarily.
And we're most concerned about them.
There's one thing emerging out of the Cabinet discussions.
The universality of social programs such as the Baby Bonus will continue.
And any thought of a means test has been abandoned.
At Meach Lake, Quebec, Ken Lawrence, TV 11 newsroom.
Canadian climber Patrick Morrow and two Sherpa guides reached the summit of Mount Everest today and were spotted descending from the world's highest mountain shortly before 6 a.m.
That's the second Canadian conquest of Everest this week.
A 17 year old Fort era youth has been charged with the murder of his mother.
Niagara Bureau Chief Jennifer Mossop talked to police and to some of the dead woman's neighbors today.
Well, I hear three shots.
First, I didn't believe it was shot.
I thought, bang, you know, just like last time.
And when I hear the second shot, I went to the window.
And was second or third.
Third shot was.
I went to the window and I hear somebody cry in a commotion.
Just before nine o'clock last night, the residents of a small rural neighborhood in Fort Erie were rocked by the sound of three gunshots.
Niagara Regional Police arrived to find shotgun holes in the front window of 795 Grape Street, a 12 gauge shotgun on the road in front of the house.
And 44 year old Mrs. Evelyn Bright shot to death inside the house.
In addition to Mrs. Bright, one Delbert Peterkin of the Fort Erie area, 57 years of age, was injured.
And he was taken to the Douglas Memorial General Hospital for treatment, understanding some satisfactory condition.
What was the cause of death and the injuries?
Well, at this time, we believe that she died as a result of a gunshot wound and also that Mr. Peterkin was injured by the same shotgun blast.
Charged with second degree murder is 17 year old Bruce Bright in connection with his mother's death.
I don't believe it.
And now he had a difficult life.
I still don't believe it.
He did it.
I still don't believe it.
So you knew the family.
He's too good.
He was the best boy in the neighborhood.
Other neighbors told me they had heard the shots but did not want to talk about the Bright family.
Police are continuing their investigation today.
In Fort Erie, Jennifer Mossop, TV 11 Newsroom.
Barry City Police say they have arrested a man in the death of Rosalind Hutchings of Orillia.
At a news conference, police identified the man as 21 year old Steven Winter of Barry.
He is an employee of a trucking company and was arrested last night.
Police would not say whether or not the accused man knew the dead girl.
They did say that there is no connection between Winter and the disappearance of Lee Marie De Palma.
The Angus woman was last seen September 21st.

Police now say there is no relation between the cyanide death of a Philadelphia student and the Tylenol killings of seven people in Chicago.
Their investigation is continuing.
Meanwhile, the Tylenol contamination is hurting sales of the pain reliever.
Many drug stores have removed all forms of Tylenol from their shelves as a precautionary measure.
But yesterday in Memphis, this ad appeared in the morning paper.
A new maximum strength Tylenol silenced medication in capsule and tablet form.
Even though Tylenol has requested that all of its capsules should no longer be sold, ads like this lead to confusion.
Many people are not sure what they should buy, and a nationwide survey shows a drop in the sale of all types of pain relievers.
16 percent decrease in the whole category of pain relievers.
That includes not only Tylenol, but all other pain remedies.
But Odell says there has been an increase in private label or generic type pain relievers, which are usually manufactured by chain drug stores.
There's about a 30 percent increase in that area.
Why do you think this is happening?
I think people are looking for alternatives that they can consider safe and that they have no concern about.
So people are still buying pain relievers, but their buying habits have changed.
Not only do they seem to be more conscious about the type of pain relievers they buy, they're also looking for those in sealed containers.
Briefly in the news, the 86,000 housing starts across Canada last month are the lowest number in 22 years.

The Soviets aren't saying whether a foreign submarine reported trapped in waters near Sweden's main naval base is one of theirs.
If it is, it would be the second Soviet sub in a year to become trapped in a similar situation.
A Soviet nuclear submarine may have joined a Russian spy ship off Canada's west coast near Vancouver Island.
Our Navy says the sub may be installing listening devices on the ocean floor to try to track U.S. Navy submarine movement.

Now is time for farmers to get politically active.
That call to arms from Ralph Barry, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.
The story from newsrooms, Michael Kruisank.
It's not an easy business, farming.
While most of us simply sell our skills for a living in the agriculture business, it's skill and a huge financial investment.
In most cases, with no guarantee there will be a return at the end of the year.
The time has come for change, says OFA president Ralph Barry.
Farmers have got to develop better business and marketing practices.
They've got to think about more than just being efficient within the bounds of their own fences.
But most of all, says Barry, they've got to get politically involved.
You know, I can spend all my time in Ottawa or at Queen's Park.
But politicians are astute enough to know that it's the guy out on the back road who's doing the voting.
Unless he's tuned in and supportive of the kinds of things that we're asking for and demanding, then they're much less up to concede to us.
So what I'm saying is that we've got 26,000 members out there.
But if they come more vocal and if they get more active in the organization, particularly the local level, then we can be much more effective.
As for the kinds of demonstrations we've seen from farmers in the past, things like tractors and combines converging on places like Queen's Park and Parliament Hill, don't expect a lot more of that.
Barry says that those kinds of demonstrations may do a lot to attract public attention to farmers' causes.
However, real political strength is exercised at the ballot box.

International Harvester of Chicago is trying desperately to stay out of bankruptcy court.
In a statement mailed to shareholders this week, the company says, despite extraordinary steps, prospects for survival are in substantial doubt.
The truck and farm equipment manufacturer is staggering under an immense debt load of $4.2 billion.
International Harvester has a Hamilton plant that makes farm equipment and employs over 1,400 workers.
Ottawa has laid down the law on the use of satellite dishes. Ottawa Bureau Chief Ken Lawrence has the details.
In recent months, a new type of pirate has emerged in the world of broadcasting.
For some $6,000 to $8,000, operators of taverns, bars, hotels and condo apartments have purchased satellite earth receiving stations and have been picking off air all kinds of TV signals.
This is clearly illegal and the Federal Communications Minister, Francis Fox, today declared war on these pirates.
Federal officials will start immediately to seize such equipment and possibly levy fines.
The Canadian Football League is particularly upset that home games normally blacked out are being seen in commercial establishments.
Those are the people that organizations such as the Canadian Football League are mostly concerned about.
Obviously, we license Canadian businesses to operate cable systems in this country.
They have to meet conditions of license, including Canadian content regulations.
They employ Canadians and all of a sudden they face a form of unfair competition from unlicensed operators.
What about people who shell out money to install a receiving station in their backyards?
It has been said at some point that the government of the nation has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.
And I think in the same way, the Department of Communications has no business in the backyards of the people of the nation.
There is talk that these earth satellite receiving stations one day might cost as little as $100.
When that technology is available, cable TV operators may as well close up shop.
The matter has become that serious.
On Parliament Hill, Ken Lawrence, TV 11 Newsroom.
A nice surprise. The Bank of Canada rate took a nosedive, dropping almost half a percentage point.
Today's rate fell to 12.56 from about 13 percent.
The plunge in the bank rate follows a sudden slip in U.S. interest rates and speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve is losing its grip on the money supply.
Effective tomorrow, the Bank of Montreal's closed mortgage will be set at 15 and a quarter percent.
That's down one and a half percent from 16.75 percent.
The new rate will be the lowest charged by any of the country's chartered banks.

Ontario's Public Service Employees Union will take the province to court to fight the new
wage restraint bill.
As Toronto Bureau Chief Dan Rath reports, lawyers will argue this bill is unconstitutional.
This is the tactic the Public Servants Union has used so far to fight the wage restraint
bill, demonstrations and protests at the legislature.
But now the union is going a different route.
Surrounded by three high-powered and high-priced Toronto lawyers, OPSU President Sean O'Flynn
vowed to tear down wage restraint through the legal process.
After the bill becomes law, the union will challenge the constitutionality of the legislation
with a three-pronged attack.
Union lawyers will argue that the bill's changes to the terms of the contracts violate the
guarantees of due process contained in the new Charter of Rights, that the union's guarantees
of freedom of association have been swept away by eliminating collective bargaining,
and that the new inflation restraint board, which can operate in secret, will violate
another aspect of due process guaranteed by the Charter.
We hold that our members, along with other people in society, should have the right to
withdraw their labor, and they should have the right to bargain collectively about their
terms of employment.
That is what this is all about.
The government has come in with a draconian piece of legislation which not only takes
away those rights, but rolls back contracts that the government, as the employer, freely
entered into.
That, we think, is an abuse of power.
But Ontario Attorney General Roy McMurtry is prepared for the attack.
He says government lawyers have checked the bill thoroughly for constitutionality and
find it is bulletproof.
Oh, Flynn says the campaign and the court fight will be carried on even though there
is no sign.
The public servants are gaining public sympathy.
He says that OPSU has never responded to public opinion, and that's simply not going to change.
In Toronto, Dan Rath, TV 11 Newsroom.
Floral McDonald was in Hamilton today discussing issues of women in the workforce.
The Progressive Conservative member stressed that women are not in positions of key responsibility
to deal with the issues facing them.
She says that by the end of the decade, one million women's jobs will be phased out.
She wants to persuade women to become educated in jobs such as computer programmers.
Flores says they should speak up.
What women must realize is that the women's perspective, the women's concept, women's
priorities must be heard and expressed in our centers of power if we are to achieve
anything on our own behalf.
Yet, the average income of all working women is less than half the average income of working
men.
These names made news today.

Well, some big names in Canadian entertainment are headlining the Press Theatre in St. Catharines
season opener.
Connie Smith reports.
Twelve years ago, a Canadian actress from Waterloo and an actor from Hamilton originally
became the stars in the Canadian television sitcom, The Trouble with Tracy.
It's still in reruns, by the way.
Well, now they're working together again in St. Catharines in the Press Theatre's production
of Neil Simon's comedy, I Otta Be in Pictures.
So, uh, what are you doing out here?
You visiting?
Going on vacation?
Sit down.
That's Steve Weston.
He plays Herb Tucker.
His TV wife in The Trouble with Tracy is now his director.
Dianne Nyland Proctor, married to St. Catharines DJ Frank Proctor, has been the artistic director
for the Press Theatre for a year now.
Looking back on her career, which began with the National Ballet Company, she says her
TV series, in which she played a Lucy Ricardo type of housewife, actually closed doors for
her.
I became very pigeonholed as a ditzy blonde.
I have not had one television job offer since The Trouble with Tracy.
Now you're behind the scenes as artistic director.
How do you like it?
I love it.
I really enjoy directing.
Something I never thought I would like to do.
I just always assumed that as a director it would be so frustrating, particularly being
a performer, to sit out and watch everybody else work and not be able to go up there and
say, no, it has to be done this way, let me do it for you.
It's not the case at all.
It's the most gratifying job I can imagine.
Did you miss being on stage?
To a certain extent.
And I would probably go back to doing more of it eventually.
I must admit this hiatus has been one because I became a director and I wanted to really
settle myself in solidly in that field, but also because I had two small children and
it's very difficult to be running around the country and be a good mom at the same time.
I Ought to Be in Pictures opens tomorrow at the Brock University Playhouse.
Tomorrow I talk with Steve Weston.

Okay, here we are.
Time to look right into the world of sports and find out what's happening in baseball.
So let's do that.
Here's Dick Meadows.
Yes, indeed.
Well, we've got one guy on the National League who really knows both teams.
That's Atlanta and it's St. Louis.
He's got those connections.
Talking about Joe Torre, he's now the manager.
You know, the Atlanta Braves.
He's a former Cardinal catcher and a good one.
Also played infield in St. Louis.
He'll be prominent tonight and he's got an adult philosophy on children's games.
And the manager of the Western Division Champions, the Atlanta Braves, number nine, Joe Torre.
He wears the wrong uniform now, but he's still remembered in St. Louis.
Joe Torre spent six years in a St. Louis Cardinals uniform.
In 1971, he was the National League's batting champion and most valuable player.
I had some of my best years here and I think I did my growing up here and had my aspirations of managing.
It's been a rough road for Joe Torre, the manager, spending four and a half years with the miserable New York Mets.
That team finishing in last place three years in a row and last year Torre being fired.
Taking over the Atlanta Braves this year, Torre must have wondered whether fate was determined to deal him the wrong cards.
The Braves hadn't won a playoff since 1969, hadn't had a winning season in seven years.
I'm a firm believer that your mind rules your body and if the talent is there,
believing you can do something has a better chance of letting you do it than thinking about if you can or if you can't.
The Braves started winning and by the 12th game of the season, Atlanta was 12-0.
The celebration had already started. For Joe Torre, what a difference a year makes.
I think I'm a little smarter, just like a player, more experience, I think you get better at it.
The names of Torre's Atlanta players are not exactly household words.
The team is about the same as it was when the Braves were in the Doldrums.
The players say Torre is the reason they became winners.
He's always been the kind of guy that would, if you needed something he was there, you know, and you could talk to it.
A friend and well as a manager.
Torre views his success philosophically.
It works, you're smart, it doesn't work, you're dumb.
This year, Joe Torre has been smart.
And in the other league, Bruce Keason remarkably stinges the California Angels fastener halos ever tighter on the American League final.
California jumped on Milwaukee pitcher Pete Vukovich early.
With the bases loaded up in the second tempo, a single to the left, Brad Lynn walked in from third.
The Angels had a 1-0 lead.
Later in the inning, Bob Boone executed the squeeze bunt to perfection.
That scored Doug DeSensase. It became 2-0 California.
Mr. October Reggie Jackson made his presence felt in the third.
Jackson sent a Vukovich breaking ball out over the center field fence.
It was Jackson's 18th American League playoff RBI, a new league record.
The Angels took a 4-0 lead in the home half of the fourth.
Boone lined a sacrifice fly to right, but the throw to the plate was too late to get DeSensase who had tagged up.
Milwaukee's only offense came an inning later.
With a runner on, Paul Molitor lined a ball to center field.
But Lynn missed the play, and the ball went all the way to the fence.
By the time California caught up to it, the throw to the plate was too late to get Molitor.
The Brewers had delivered a two-run inside the park home run.
Pitcher Bruce Keeson scattered only five hits while striking out seven Brewers.
California's 4-2 victory puts them just one game away from a trip to the World Series.
Milt Audie of Agent Court, he's by way of Jamaica, won the Commonwealth high jump this day about 7-1-1-1-2 feet.

They won five gold medals.
In lawn bowling, the Canadian Fours are advancing. They beat both England and Swaziland.
And the 4-R, Glenn Patton of Brampton, Barry McFadden of Mississauga, and two London bowlers, Bill Watkin and Ron Jones.
There was a dead heat in the Commonwealth games as the Empire's fastest winter ran head-in-head with a fleet rival in Australia.
We have the excitement from Brisbane.
Wells was a favorite, and it was thought that the main danger would come from his fellow Scots Cameron Shops, not England's Mike McFarlane in lane two.
Away they go, and Wells flew up the block from his stand, which is so important.
Now I've got one on the outside, he's going well, photo of Cameron Shops, the side where he's been found from sharp Australia's Jimmy John.
It's Wells in the lead off the bench, and Wells with McFadden in lane two, McFadden in England and Wells, Wells trying that slightly, Wells back to the neutral,
McFadden, but Wells, they well have shown the people, McFadden, with Cameron Shops there, but that is fair water, but that is a certain photograph.
It took 20.43 seconds to run the race and then nearly half an hour for the judges to decide the results.
So an anxious wait for the two men as the officials went to the black and white photograph, before announcing that they couldn't separate Wells and McFadden.
medalists shared the victors' rock swim, both land of hope and glory and the
scuffle in the grave were slayed and both national flags were raised on the
tentative pole. Meanwhile this man, young swimmer Victor Davis of Waterloo acted
like a boorish little bum as you perhaps have heard by now. This is after Canadians
were disqualified in a swimming race where a timing device caught them
cheating. Davis broke up furniture and tried to uproot a potted palm of some
kind. That's when the Canadians were caught. But Davis was a bum in a great
big chumpish gold medal way. He threw his childish tantrum in the friendly games in
front of this lady Queen Elizabeth of England and the Commonwealth and he did
it with all of the TV cameras rolling. For his song this guy scored the tie and
goal in nifty play with the builder Lego and Rick Vibe. This was in Toronto's most
energetic effort that I've seen in Chicago in 15 years. This was crackling
entertainment a 3-3 tie as Fred Anderton recaps. The Hawks strike early, Al
Secord scoring in a rebound. A power play goal, 1-0 Chicago. The Hawks power play
clicks again midway through the first period. Doug Wilson shot from the point.
He flex off Boria's homing stick right to Steve Larmor. 2-0 Chicago.
Bunny LaRock foils Larmor on this play but Denny Savard scoops up the loose puck.
The Hawks lead 3-0 after one. The Leafs get on the board early in the
second period. Slavodura setting up Walt Padubny. If it works once why not try it
again. This time it's John Anderson feeding Padubny who saves his best moves
for after he scores. LaRock keeps the Leafs close with some sharp goal tanning.
Chicago leads 3-2 after two. The Leafs look for the equalizer in the third
period but Bannerman is brilliant. Finally with less than two minutes to
play Rick Vibe gets the puck back to the point. Boria's homing pulls the trigger.
Toronto's third power play goal as the Leafs salvage a 3-3 tie. And indeed if
the Leafs are for real this man, goaler Michelle LaRock, must play most nights
like he played last night. Tonight he and the Leafs are in St. Louis. An update on
Mr. LaRock, Kathy Renwell. At the end of last season Bunny LaRock felt
as used up as an old pacer at Flambrough Downs. Well this season he's moved from
the doghouse to the penthouse. He bounced between solid and splendid in last
night's 3-3 tie against Chicago. Bunny I'm gonna refer to last year because I
remember the last feature we did on you and you weren't too sure of your future
of the Toronto Maple Leafs and now we talked to you at the beginning this
season and it looks very much brighter. What's changed? Well maybe just my
training camp. The way I play in training camp maybe changed my future on the team
but you know I just gotta keep playing the same way and when you play that
well it's really hard for a team to train you. LaRock knew the Leafs were softening
their youth movement when they signed the equally aged Mike Palmitier. They
changed a bit by getting Mike Palmitier, a guy's 28 then it was a little bit of
surprise for me to go and get a gold tenor because they look like they really
want to go with young players and getting a guy of 28 years old and they
must change a little bit their attitude. And he was something believe me last
night. Gary Porre scored three times in college soccer and Mohawk that is
romped and here is their score. There it is Mohawk ten, George Brown a big zip,
George Brown is from Toronto. And there was high school football this wet day in
the Hamilton rain and Phil Lashapel shot the pictures for another very flavorful
Anderton report. The Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs against the Glendale
Bears, senior high school football action at Iberwin Stadium this afternoon.
Both teams were undefeated coming into this one. The weather was for the birds
but it didn't keep the faithful away. A few even brought their homework. Sir
Winston Churchill was trailing 7-0 early in the fourth quarter when they
drove deep into Glendale territory. Miodrag Pavelic picking up 14 yards
before he's finally brought down on the Glendale four yard line. On fourth down
and goal from the one, Bogie Macieski bulls his way into the end zone. The
convert by Pete Subar is good. Don't go away we're tied at seven. With less than a
minute to play, Churchill's Ron Bonitis boots the ball under the end zone for a
very big single. The Bulldogs lead 8-7.
But the Bears aren't dead yet with just 17 seconds left to play. Bill Johnstone
will attempt a 41 yard field goal. He's got the distance, it's good. Glendale
wins 10-8. They're now 3-0. Churchill's record drops to 2-1.
And that's what the wonderful world of sport is really all about. The striking
NFL football players seem to be speaking with a forked tongue. Out of one side of
their collective mouth they're saying today they indeed would accept a
mediator in their strike against the NFL owners. On the other
side they say button up your chin straps, Falcons, it's going to be a very long
strike. We need to understand that one of the reasons we are, the main reason we are, out on
strike is because we believe in the weight scale. That's why we're out there. We're not out there
because we like being out there. We want more money and the weight scale is the
only way to address that. But we're not going back. I can assure you, especially after
talking to the refs, they said button the chin straps, get your ankles taped.
It's a long, tough game. And we feel the strike is just beginning. I don't have any doubts
that the matter is going to be resolved this year. At the same time I think that
those who are telling Donnie he cannot negotiate on wages are going to have to
relent and realize that the bargaining process is about compromise and not who
wins and who loses. Everyone should win and everyone I guess has to lose a little
bit in the process.
I haven't heard a single fan by the way say anything about missing those guys on
television. Well rotten apple weather such as you see there and that picture is
upon us in Willowdale, Westover and Wimpville. We'll have more on the
forecast from a phone booth with weather hotliner, Constant Smith.
There was a time when a good new car cost you $3,500. Today that car could be
$8,000 and more. Now more than ever new car buyers expect and deserve to get a
good car at a competitive price and be treated with courtesy and concern. The
people at Taylor Chrysler believe that's the way it should be. It's their policy
plain and simple. If you believe that's the way it should be when you buy a new
car say yes to Taylor Chrysler and you'll feel right at home.

Ah, Miss Applegate, Mr. Bavarstok is expecting you this way please. Thank you,
Diddley. It's Dudley, mom. I presume we'll be dining on Pamper. Of course, mom. Mr.
Bavarstok prefers Pamper. Pamper premium quality cat food. Real meat or real fish

The professional choice. Good news and bad news from the Weather Department
today. First of all, the good news, it stopped raining. A high-pressure cell is
moving into the area. Any shower thunderstorm activity should end
tonight. There is a 20% chance of precipitation. Lows tonight about 8 or 48.
As I said, that high-pressure cell is moving in tomorrow then. Look for sunshine.
However, all the moisture around may well produce some afternoon cloudy period. The
10% chance of precipitation highs tomorrow to about 18 or 65. Now for the bad
news, Thanksgiving weekend. We have another cold front moving into the area.
So Saturday we should see increasing cloud, maybe some showers. For Sunday and
Monday both cloudy and cool, maybe some sun, but maybe some rain too. Now that I
have all my bases covered, let's check some temperatures and conditions
recorded earlier today regionally and coast to coast.
20 degrees at St. Catharines today, 17 degrees at Toronto Guelph and Kitchener,
20 at Stratford and London, 18 degrees at Brantford, Simcoe 19, Dunnville 18, Fort
Erie 19, Niagara Falls 20. Sunny and 10 degrees at Halifax, then we run into some
cloud, Montreal 9, Ottawa 10, Winnipeg 7 and Drizzle, then Sun, Regina 11, Calgary
12. The same at Vancouver, Whitehorse 5, Fropershub A-4, a few clouds. The
cold spot, Eureka, minus 22, the hot spot, Dallas, Texas 33.
And back in Hamilton, clearing skies tonight, sunshine tomorrow for the
Thanksgiving weekend, cloudy and cool, maybe some showers. But Dan, don't let
that stop you from enjoying all the fall fairs and the great and beautiful
outdoors. You know, weathermen can be wrong. You know, they're not supermen.
Or super girls for that matter. Outside the TV 11 newsroom, pretty warm here in
Hamilton as well. The present temperature is 18 Celsius. That is 65 soggy
Fahrenheit degrees. We have much more coming up on Newsroom and we will get to
all of it right after this commercial time-out.

Horace, do you remember to do the fields after you fix the fence?
Since Honda invented the three-wheel all-terrain cycle, people have found it real handy for lots of chores
because it handles the rough country. Of course, a lot of people have found the
Honda ATC is great for going fishing, too.
Horace, did you forget to put gas in that tractor?
The Honda ATC. To get to where you never thought you'd go on wheels.
Yeah, I hope there'd be more. Come on, who could have more tools than this?
Canadian Tire does.
I think I'll shop around. Hey, who can beat that price?
Canadian Tire does. Sure, you can buy some of the things Canadian Tire sells somewhere else,
but does somewhere else have Canadian Tire's selection, low price, and Canadian Tire's guarantee of quality?
You mean nobody has it? Canadian Tire does.
There's a lot more to Canadian Tire than tires.
Well, Labor has pulled out of the Hamilton Task Force for Economic Recovery.
Newsroom's Bob Ireland has the story.
At five o'clock this afternoon, Harry Greenwood, President of the Hamilton and District Labor Council,
and Jack Tarbot, Business Agent of Local 18 of the Carpenters Union,
called a news conference to announce they were resigning from the Task Force for Economic Recovery.
Both men said they were disillusioned with the Task Force,
and that they felt they had been used by the Task Force for its own purpose.
Greenwood said the Task Force was taking positions that the Labor Council could not support.
Whatever I say is the Labor Council speaking, and I know that Jack speaks for his organization, whatever he says.
We don't want everybody in the world running around making statements that we're responsible for,
so we have to disassociate ourselves from this.
Tarbot said the Carpenters Union was particularly upset at the Task Force for, in his words, running a meralty candidate.
He was referring to former Task Force member Brian Morrison.
When we talked to them, they said that nobody was going to run for election, nobody on the Task Force,
and then all of a sudden Brian Morrison pops out of the woodwork,
and there are statements related to Mr. Carter that says that this is a high caliber candidate,
and we hope more like him come to the front.
And this is very much annoying to my local union members.
With the Labor Council and the Carpenters Union withdrawing its support,
the Task Force now has a problem with its credibility.
It only represents business interests in the city.
In Hamilton, Bob Ireland, TV 11 newsroom.
Well, today's lower interest rates produced a trading record on the New York Stock Exchange.
Almost 150 million shares changed hands in an extremely hectic day.
The record trading on the New York Stock Exchange was fueled by a growing belief
that the Federal Reserve Board will further relax its tight grip on the money supply.
That was underscored this morning when a number of big banks cut their prime lending rate by a half point to 13 percent.
When the trading ended, 147 million 70,000 shares had changed hands,
10 million shares more than the record set in August.
Four times as many stocks went up in value as went down.
The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials closed up almost 22 points at 965.97.
Investors who watched today's increase on top of yesterday's 37-point rise in the Dow were almost delirious.
I am the third generation of speculators in the stock market,
and this is something that my sainted ancestors are turning over in their grave at sea.
I think many of us deserve this little gift.
In the last two days, investors became convinced again that the decline in interest rates,
which started in August and September, can continue through the year end.
I think there was a perception that Washington now very badly wants a recovery.
While most analysts believe that falling interest rates are the chief reason for the two-day explosion in the stock market,
they see something else.
Many of those buying stocks are people who have waited for weeks to see if the market would decline after the summer's sharp increases.
They are convinced now that that won't happen.
Briefly in regional news, about 1,000 United Auto workers have shut down the Chrysler van plant in Windsor
with a Wildcat walkout that jumps the November 5th strike deadline.
In Florida, Canada office workers in Windsor and Brampton have ratified a new two-year contract with their company.
They are also members of the UAW.
The Welland Tribune didn't publish today.
Twenty-seven unionized editorial, advertising, and circulation employees refused to work.
This after negotiations for a first contract went beyond a settlement deadline.
And a new report says suicide has become the second leading cause of death for Canadians between the ages of 14 and 35,
and is particularly high among Native Indian peoples.
There's always someone somewhere taking advantage of the system.
In the U.S., one of the latest forms of abusing government projects is collecting relocation checks for moving.
Meet George. He's called a project jumper.
This is George Rader. He's been living in this house for one year.
Soon it will be torn down for the University Plaza project, a hotel-motel convention center in Springfield.
When he's forced to move, George hopes to collect $4,000 from the federal government.
Homes in George's area are being moved or demolished for the urban renewal project.
When a hard renewal project forces a resident to move out, those moving are usually entitled to benefits.
Move once, get one check.
But a few like George say they've done it more than once and plan to do it again.
It's like being employed, though. It's a different form of employment.
I work for the federal government. I'm trying to follow their guidelines.
I don't generate a whole lot of extra money off what I do.
You wouldn't mind living in another urban renewal project?
Oh, I wouldn't mind it. I don't think any renewal people would like it.
George says he's willing to continue living in substandard housing permanently.
That is as long as he can collect a relocation check from HUD.
He admits he's taking advantage of the system, and local HUD officials know it.
HUD officials in these cities admit there are other people like George.
They're called project jumpers, claiming uncounted millions in relocation checks.
They systematically abuse this little-known loophole, but legally HUD can't do anything to stop them.
Harold Hooker, HUD's relocation spokesman in Washington, says,
We drafted legislation from time to time to prevent this type of abuse, but Congress has not acted.
In the meantime, project jumpers like George Rader can continue to move from project to project one step ahead of the wrecking ball
and collect from Uncle Sam for their trouble.

Farming for medicine.
A new demand for the aloe vera plant is causing gardeners to increase their commercial production of the new natural medicine.
Outside of marijuana, aloe vera is probably the latest, fastest growing cash crop in the United States, and it's legal.
Most of it is grown in Texas.
The crop at this farm alone is estimated to be worth three to four million dollars,
an acreage going to aloe vera has increased nearly twentyfold in Texas since 1975.
Aloe vera is related to both the lily and the onion,
but the green gel inside the plant is being used in a rapidly expanding market of tonics, food additives, cosmetics, and cure-alls, even an aloe vera drink.
And the Back to Nature movement is getting the credit.
I think that ultimately, with the advancement in technology that we have in this country today,
that we will see scientific people being able to tell us why aloe does the many wonderful things that it does do,
rather than being a folk medicine as it's commonly referred to today.
Though used in cosmetics for years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has determined nothing scientific about what aloe can do for human illnesses.
But the future of the plant for dermatology may be brighter.
Preliminary studies that have been done have been sort of tantalizing.
They have shown that there seems to be some efficacy in speeding healing.
Some aloe vera growers are afraid that overblown claims that aloe vera can cure everything from ulcers to stretch marks will turn it into a snake oil.
They say that would be the kiss of death.
Instead, they feel there is a better future for their crop if it is slowly accepted as a new wide-range natural medicine.
More dismal news from Halifax.
Mediation efforts to settle the truly cold strike by 242 firemen have broken off.
Officials say there was just no progress in the main issue of wages.
The union, rather, wants a first-class fireman to earn $25,700 a year.
The city is offering $24,000.
Three Vic Tenney physical fitness clubs in northern Ontario closed this week.
An investigator for the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations says the clubs are victims of an owner
that couldn't meet rent and other expenses.
Don Pogue says the fitness outlets in Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, and Thunder Bay closed after Northern Fitness Limited,
owner of the franchise, couldn't meet its rental agreement in Sudbury.
And finally, Statistics Canada says layoffs have slashed the number of persons employed by federal crown corporations by 6.9 percent over the past year.
There are 1,000, pardon me, 148,242 persons employed by crown corporations at the end of June, 10,937 less than a year earlier.
The agency says the decline was largely due to layoffs by Canadian National Railways,
the Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited, Veorail Canada Incorporated, Eldorado Nuclear Limited, and Canadair Limited.
And that's our early look at news, weather, and sports for this evening.
Any last additions, Dick?
Yeah, can you, what a joke that economic task force has become. What a lot of laughs there.
How about that mayor in Toronto, talking about that gag about Tylenol, the worst kind of a cheap shot at, you know, there were seven burials yesterday.
He wins the Victor Davis, I think, chump award for having said what he did about Tylenol.
Open mouth, insert foot, and closed mouth.
Yes.
Dick and I must say good night. We'll do so. We'll be back at 11 o'clock. We'll look for you then.
