He said the planned work was a rejuvenation of the plant operation to meet conditions of the present time. He said the plant had operated at the present location for 25 years and pre-dated many of the homes now at Cedar Beach. Woods said it was important to start work on June lst as it could not carry over into the winter mon- ths."The new operation will have less impact than, the present system," he said. "We are a major employer in the Town and pay $1 million in taxes," he said, " and 1 cannot remove the concerns that have been expressed. " Dickson Wood asked that the five metre berm or fencing be reduced to .3 metres pointing out that most barriers along the highway are no more than 3 metres and there would be difficulties with a higher height due to wind force. Couine. Stapleton saîd he was go- ing to support the staff recomm en- dation of approval but was holding out for the five metre height in the barrier. When it was suggested by Counc. Deegan that St. Mary engineer the placement of stone to curb erosion in front of private property. Wood said St. Mary's could not take over management of others property. He said if CLOCA could regulate the shoreline erosion projects they would then have the expertise to assist the property owners as con- sultants. In speaking with David Chrome of the planning department follow- ing the meeting he said there was no recourse to the Port Darlington Association through the ýOntario Municipal Board over the site plan agreenent. When asked if the departmnent was aware of approval for the- ful plan by the Ministry of the environ- ment he said 'no'.

Gerry Emm who heads the Cen- tre's board said Durhamn Region was inflating the costs of the Centre and costs are at least half of what the Region has been saying. The Centre in their statement did show a considerable increase in costs for the first three months of 1990 whîch if other costs related to the Region remain constant could run close to $125.00 per tonne., t is pointed out thiat markets for recoverable materials have fluc- tuated dramatically in the last year due to a surge in the blue box pro- gram and that he higher cost association with the three month period in 1990 is related to loss of revenue due to the market. Glenda Gies, general manager of the Centre, said it is expected that newspaper prices for recycling will increase considerably from the $10 per tonne mark as being paid now. She said it could reach as high as $60 to $70 per tonne and even up to $ 150.00 per tonne. Daily papers have commidtted themseleves to greater use of recycling newsprint and new recydlling milîs are coming on streamn none the less being a mili in Whitby. Some proponients over the past year have stated that Canada could be an importer of old newspapers for the new milîs coming into operation. Seventy-five percent of the ton- nage taken by the Durham Centre is in old newspapers. t was pointed out at the news conference on Friday that the $82.34 recycling figure per tonne was comparable to that of garbage taken to landfill sites. t was also pointed out that the cost of landfill dumping did not include the cost of pick-up, averaging $40.00 a tonne and which is paid for by the local municipalities. ding out more about university life. Students arrived at Trent campus early Thursday morning and after getting settled into their own private rooms went to Semitiars on various subjects given by their respective professors. The semninars were con- ducted as if students were taking university courses and were both challenging and for the most part interesting. The mathematics semninar involved a lecture on the Sierpinsky Triangle and fractal dimensions. Chemnistry labs includ- ed sections on spectroscopy. There was an Engl ish section focusing on John Donne and his works; classical studies on Greek Theatres and Roman Coins, Anthropology, Philosophy, Physics and many other courses. Each class lasted about one hour and a half and students took in about five sessions. When flot in sessions time was spent in the library working on projects to be handed in to Trent for evalua- tion. Students were also given recreation time for squash/tennis and swimming. Highlights included a session with the International Director discussing Canada's role with 3rd world countries, lively discussions învolving Canada's im- age abroad and the Meech Lake Ac- cord. The trip was deemned a success and new friends were formed by many. Hopes for a repeat trip in the near future were eagerly awaited. The studénts of Clarke High School are fortuate in having the collection and facilities of the Library Resource Centre available to support their efforts in becomîng independent learners. The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education is on the leading edge of library technology and the library at Clarke High School has always had the good fortune to pilot this technology. Over the course of the last few years, it has been possible to bring technology to the fore in our at- tempts to better serve our students. Our new Computer Catalogue has enabled students and staff to quick- ly and easily access material re- quired for class assigniments, essays and reports. The Lbrary has-a CD ROM reader and several "elec- tronic" reference works. In addi- tion to providing recent informa- tion in -an easily accessed format, this technology has made it possible for the students of Clarke High School to enter the modern infor- mation age. This "entrance" will soon be highlîghted by the addition of a Library computer (with a CD-ROM reader attached to it) to the Cur- riculum Lab network. Students in the Curriculum Lab will be able to access flot only the Library via the local area network which is steadily growing through, the school. By calling up the Catalogue option from the computers in the Cur- riculum Lab, students will be able to check for books suitable for assisting them with assignments. Similarly, by calling. up the CD- ROM option, students will be able to search through the information in the Electronic Encylopedia and transfer it to their computer's storage for further investigation. We at Clarke High School are very proud of our Library facilities and program. We believe that the Clarke High School Library plays an essential role in the life of the students, due to the rural nature of the community. Bearing this, as well as the educational nature of Normal operations wil 1990.
