PAGE 12, WEDNESDA'Y MARCH 23, 1983, WHITBY FREE PRESS impromptu speeches are entertaining By NANCY SPENCER Whltby Toasitmstress The regular meeting of the Whitby Toast- mnistress Club was heid at out new lacarion, 100 Blair St., Whitby, on March lSth. The theme of the meeting was "Pounding Hearts, Mounting Fears". The president opened the meeting with her usuai flair. A parliamentary educational skit was presented by severai members, directed by Jeanette Etter. The Tabletopies, one minute wnpromptu speeches, described dif- ferent aspects of stage fright and how to over- corne them. They were enthusiastically accom- piished. The winner of the Tabletopie trophy for the evening was Dorothy Hart. The Toastmistress, Helen Hines, introduced J723*9e022 the three main speakers for the evening. Alina Lusito gave her first speech, which is cailed an icebreaker, and told us about herseif. Pauline Torresan was our storyteller for the evening and she tried a brave new approach with no notes. She did an excellent job of teiling the story "The King of the Golden River". Next, Jeanetter Etter gave us an impromptu speech on "The Luck o! the Irish". She had oniy about 15 minutes to prepare it and we were impressed with her skill. She won the honour -0f 9"best speaker" of the eveming. Our "most improved" speaker was Pauline Torresan and our "best evaluator" was Lee Hewitt. A round-table evaluation of the whoie meeting was given and each mnember gave helpfui suggestions.

For further in- fomtincîl66-80 Couneil Column ,e e Rofofng & InsulaUmon w Submitted by members of WHITBY TOWN COUNCIL By 3oe Drumm Town Planning chairman 0 f late we have been hearlng a great deai about waste disposai, garbage disposaI in iand-fill sites, waste from nuclear plants and the Ontario Waste Management Corporation's (OWMC) attempts to find a suitable site for iiquid industrial and hazar- dous waste treatment and disposal fadilities. That the OWMC is putting every effort into fin- ding such a site is a certainty, and their task is not an easy one. Public meetings are being heid throughout the "Golden Horseshoe" (Hamilton to Oshawa) area, and as a resuit of one public meeting in Oshawa held on' Feb. 8 last, the following infor- mation came forth. The facility will have three coniponents in it; iLe. an incinerator, a physicai chemical treatment plant, and an engineered land-fill site. If ail three of these components were placed on one site it would require a total area of 800 acres of land. Annually, we are dealing with and talking about 330 million gallons or 1.5 million tonnes of waste, 70 percent of which is within the "Golden Horseshoe". A large land-fill site is required because, even af- ter incineration and/or physical chemicai treat- ment, the residue waste and sludge will remain toxic and disposai will demand a secure location. The transportation of these wastes to the site will pose a tremendous problem, and we are told that it could mean a site or sites for transfer stations. A question, "lVill the facility take waste from other countries or provinces?," was asked. The an- swer was a quaiified NO. The site will be monitored by the Minlstry of the Environment (MOE) and the Chairman was remin- ded that the MOE does not enforce regulations, but acte only after the fact. The OWMC will strive to police itself, and in the meantime, the MOE wlllbe looking for more strict enforcement of the regulations regarding waste disposai. After ail the factors have been- considered, the OWMC will select one, two or three sites, depending upon what type of fadiity can be located at which location, and wil present their choice(s) to a hearing before a panel of three independent persons.. chosen by the cabinet of the government of ontarlo. If this panel concurs with the site selection (s), then the decision is referred to the cabinet for final ap- proval. It is important to note that at that stage there is no appeal procedure. The selection of a site or sites and the construction of iiquid waste facilities are flot subject to the environniental assessment process. Certaînly, no matter where this site or sites are placed will be a contentious issue for selection, and as I toid council iast week, I amn not at all en- thusiastic about having this fadility in Witby.
