Students from Dr. Powers school discovered the syringes outside the Community Nursing Home complex. Michael Finn, Director of Care for the Conmunity Nursing Home confirmed that the needies had been put into an outside barrel on the property on Feb. 20. They were to be bumed, he said. Since police have contacted humn informing him of the students' discoveries, Finn says bce will have to look for a waste disposai company to handie the syringes. Schools get boost from anti-recession fund Local public and separate school boards will receive money for work on three Port Hope-area schools under the provincial govemrment's $700-million anti-recession prograin. The province will provide about $76,000 to the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education for roofing work at Dr. L. B. Powers Public School and George Hamilton Public School. Those projects are expected to cost a total of $ 103,000. For the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Newcastle Separate School Board, the provincial government will provide about $48,000 for a new boiler at St. Anthony's. That project is expected to cost a total of $56,000. The goal of the program is to create short-term employment and other facilities that serve the public. The provinces anti-recession program was announced in December and is to be undertaken this year. No smoking bylaw approved at sports ~-complex Port Hope council will outlaw smoking in the Jack Burger Sports Complex starting Sept. 1. Council lias approved an amendment to the town bylaw, proposed by the local parks, recreation and culture committee, prohibiting people fromn smoking inside the main lobby of the sports complex-the only area in the entire building wliere smoking is now stili peninitted. Jane Lunn, director of parks, recreation and culture, said the decision to ban smoking was made to address public complaints and lielp promote a heathier lifestyle among patrons. Extra $916 for Iibrary A $32 million grant package annoxinced last week by the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications will only provide Port Hope Public Library with an additional $916. The library's annual grant from the province is $30,542, Chief Librarian Victoria Owen confirmed recently, adding the $916 amounts to an additional three per cent. SeIf-policing being considered The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority is considering asking the Ontario goverrnment to designate two employees as provincial offences officers to lesson dependency on area police forces. Community relations officers Jini Tedford told authority memrbers last week tlie appointment of the two officers would allow the autliority to lay charges in its own watershed without having to cal police everytime tlieres an infraction. He said tlie appoiments would also eliminate the $2,000 to $3,000 annual cost of hiring Durham Regional police to patrol off-road vehicles in the Ganaraska Forest for four days during the surnmer. Schooi vandaIism flot reason for concern Although vandalism and theft costs increased at area schools by almost 50 per cent during the year ending in June 1990, a public scliool board officiai says it's flot reason for concem. Over tlie past 10 years, vandalism and tlieft costs have ranged from a high of $53,790 ini 1984 to a low of $5,960 in 1981. Roni Sudds, superintendent at the Northumberland and Newcastle board said, tlie board administration began prepaning a report on vandalism and theft at the request of trustees a couple of years ago because of vandalism being experienced at other school boards.

County flot going back on word Northumberland County is flot going back on its word to Port Hope about costs associated with transporting local garbage after the town's landfill site closes, a county officiai says. Waste management engineer Pam Russell said the county intends to stick to its original plan of spreading waste disposai transportation costs out among al Northumberland municipalities-a policy she says the town lias already agreed to. Amendmnent to crackdown 'grey water' The Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Healtli Unit says it supports proposed legislation that would make it illegal for boaters to discliarge "grey water"-sink and shower water-into Ontario waterways. Current environmental legisiation only dictates that "black water," toilet waste, lias to be contained in on-board holding tanks and pumped out at authorized pumping stations. The health council decided to inform the Minis try of the Environment of its commitment to the change recently, particularly in light of the importance of tourism to the area. The amendments to the Environmient Protection Act are expected to come into effect on May 1,1993.
