Hope Township council niembers and members of ils Eldorado liaison committee learned last week that Eldorado has complted its studies of the safety of pro- posed dump-sites in Hope Township and neighbouring Port Granby in the Town of Newcastle and according to Duncan Moffet his depart- ment is now awaiting for the social and community aspects of the issue. Moffet who headsup decornmissioningof Port Granby and Welcome listoric dump sies staftes-We next move is up to the government. Both counicil members and members of the liaison com- mittee were somewlat as- tounded to also learn that representatives of Eldorado Resources lad been meeting with the federal Ministry of, Energy, MiRes and Resources since Iast June and that co- disposai of historic wase in Port Hope lad been con- sidered wil waste from Welcomne and Port Granby. Counicil mnembers and corn- rüîi-t mem het they had always been assured that waste from Port Hope would not be placed in the Township of Hope. John Jarrell of Eldorado said the decision to go straight to the Ministry was made to get clarification of the federal government's position on co-disposal, He said the federal government's position'should be consistent with Eldorado's position on local waste requiring a local solution. Dunican Moffet pointed out that tle government's position is in accord with that of Eldorado's. Donald Cameron, director of the federal governmen',s low-level rudioactive waste management office, said it las always made sense from a scientific, technical point of view that co--disposal of these wastes is a rational thing to do. It was stated at the meeting that waste frôm Port Hope would increase the total by one-seventh. The position of tle Citizens for Responsible Nuclear Waste Disposai is that the location of a nuclear waste dump in Hope Township is unacceptable. Fear was expressed that co- disposai would be the thin edge of the wedge leading to the establishment of the pro- posed local site as a national nounceai in mny usual iurward way my disgusvith the com- mnon cigarette. I must have put the guy through heil, because for the first ight weeks 1 neyer knew his best friends were the Butt Sisters. And probably once he deposited my framç at the doorstep, he raced home to stuff a whole package into his mouth at the saine tâme, in- halîng one massive dose to make up for the hours miss- ed. Eventually, like ail cover- ups the truth came out. There seemed to be only one course of action. He would; be ex- pected to suifer thro'igh lis nicotine withdrawai . ttacks and I wouid ,mark each off each day as tle crisis passed. The first time he went cold turkey. In three weeks, he was not only cimbing the walls but swinging from the rafters as well. Maybe it's my European background, but I failed to sympathize wîth the hardsbips, proceeding to give my verbal version of why there ain't suchi a statement as "I can't". The second time he needed, a vaction - a change of scenery and pace, îhereby proceeded to pop 1out west and concentrate on "how to stop smoking, again." He came back twenty lbs. heaviet: a salmon tucked under one arm and a case of "tletn things" in his suitcase. 1 slined up my lob nailed boots and naiied down the new law. Everyone, includîng lim wouid smoke outside the house. He looked embarrass- ed. I was adamant, My philosophizing continued, dragging out literature on the lazards of smoking, reading it to him in caseble wouldn't do it limseif. I mapped our future. The way 1 figured il, a few years down the road we'd stili be holding the front lines but no longer using first names. And as I pointed out to him, eventually 1 would benefit from the life in- surance policy while he would be pushing up daisies in China. The possibiltf existed that he would become another statistic. The thîrd time he joined Smoke Enders. A ten week programme designed to let you smoke while you learned how to stop. In no time at al hie made a complete change in his life style. He smelled bet- ter, ate better and looked bet- ter. He became determined, however still bemoaning the fact that this wasn't getting any easier. Maybe because the price tag was-so high for the course and, maybe because the incentive was finally there, whatever, he's done it. But he's replaced the common glimmer stick with îoothpicks, of ail things. He chews then everywhere.I find mnounds of the tattered, reshaped posts beside the bed, near the couch and in the car. I'm waiting to see whether one will get stuck crosswise in his jaw. I've been. searching frantically for Toothpick Enders wondering- i f he'Il suffer any psychological effects or withdrawal symptoms as I try to wean him from this newest habit. And supposing he goes on a rampage when he discovers the st ores ail out of these woodeni chisel sticks. Will he out of desperate, agonizing craving attack the banister? Or will he possibly go ail out, head for bigger thrills, more expense, acquir- ing a taste for mahogany or teak. It just goes to shfow you a man is not his own boss at ail, falling victim quite easily ter the toothpick syndrome. Don't buy bus proposai Some past VIA train riders do not buy the bus proposai as put -forth by Trentway- Wagar to provide service from Peterborough to Toronto. Themain objection is traf- fic jams in the Toronto area, a higher cost than the train and the ',loss of that homey, one famnly feeling.
