Iattttt You Mo. " Wound“, my s, 1985 E Catherine Miehm Chronicle staff When James Haney rescued five people from an overturned boat last summer, his parents had to learn of his heroics through a letter of gratitude sent to them by the people he saved. Now his parents will be representing him when the Ontario Provincial Police hand out citations for bravery. Haney, 26, is in the United States doing a survey of national parks as part of his graduate studies in outdoor recreation which he is studying at the University of Waterloo. As a result. he is unable to attend the ceremony, which is scheduled for this Friday in Dornoch, Ont. His parents, Reg and Elaine Haney of 54 Ashton Cres. in Waterloo, are happy to accept the citation on his behalf. Reg Haney is senior partner of Haney. White law firm in Waterloo. "We're very proud of him" said Reg Haney. “I was most impressed with him keeping his cool and going about it (the rescue) in an organised way." Haney was working for the YMCA's Camp Wabanaki on Lake Vernon near Huntsville last summer. On Aug. Mt he was crossingthe lake when he approached another boat occupied by four adults and a five-year-old child. They were experiencing engine trouble and were in the Process of passing the child to Haney when their boat capsized and all five occupants were thrown into the water. Reg Haney said that James “worked at the Y camp for many years and is a good, strong swimmer. He had all the skills that would help him in that sort of Haney immediately jumped into the lake and began pulling each of them to his boat. The child and one of the men were trapped under the over-turned boat and Haney had to dive under it several times before he was able to pull them _ both to safety.' situation.“ Cool and calm hero to receive citation James Haney Melodoe Martinuk Chronicle Staff Herb Epp didn't win the first poll which reported in to this riding's returning office, but that was one of only a handful he didn't take as the veteran Liberal politician swept to an easy victory in Thursday's provincial election. When the evening was over, Epp had recaptured his seat in the Ontario legislature with a whopping 7,200-vote plurality Over his nearest rival, Pro- gressive Conservative candidate Lynne Woolstencroft. NDP representative Richard Gerson tallied 4.488. "When I need advice, I consult the experts - the 81,700 citizens of Water loo North. These same people have spoken again, 2g1ie, the ballot box...the strong advice! hey have given is they want a Liberal representative in Queen's Park. . "I accept their verdichnd promise to represent each and every one of the citizens of Waterloo North in a fair and equitable manner, and I can assure you 1 will not betray that trust," said Epp in a victory speech to some 100 party supporters at the Knights of Columbus hall. - Epp said he owes the strength of his victory to dissatisfied Tory supporters who swung their votes to the Liberal party because of disenchantment with Premier Frank Miller and to protest his platform. "There was a lot of switching, for two reasons: one, they didn't like what they saw in Frank Miller and I heard that over and over again. Secondly. they saw in David Peterson a very safe and good alternative. I think the combination of these two helped to make the difference here and across Ontario." he ex- plained. A quiet, obviously-disheartened Wool- stencroft tried to put her defeat in a brighter light when approached by the media. The board of education trustee, who was taking her first shot at a provincial seat, denied she was disap- pointed by the election results. "Why must I be disappointed? I'm very proud. We ran a very good, a very hard campaign. It was well organized and we had a lot of fun. It was very good for me." she said. Wooisteneroft refused to comment on the reasons for the Tory slide in voter Jubilant Epp scores a resounding victory Party workers, however. had more to say on the matter. Campaign manager John Kendall denied that Miller's lead- ership was a major factor, pointing instead to the issue of full funding to the separate schools. “In the last week, what else came out?” said Kendall, noting that polls done in the week before the election popularity, saying only: "I don't ex- plain it, that's your job." - - the legislature." "There are strong indicators that if Mr. Miller forms a minority govern- ment, with his very right-wing View. he woet't be able to keep the legislature together as (former premier Bill) Davis did," said Epp. "Mr. Miller will try to impose his right-wing views on Kendall said Woolstencroft campaign workers encountered the question "over and over again" at the doors, and while their candidate attempted to address it in the final week on the hustings. there wasn't sufficient time to counteract the damage done. In interviews with the media, Epp speculated that a minority Miller gov- ernment would not stay in power a full four-year term, and he cautiously predicted a two-year reign. He added that the Liberals would be able to govern in a minority situation for a longer priod of time. showed Miller leading by nine points. "Suddenly people became aware of separate school funding, and unfortun- ately it was identified as a Conservative issue, not with all three parties."
