Comrade Sterling Mather, and Comrade Doug Walton presided over the service. They were joined by Regionai Councillor Ann Dreslinski.. In her remarks to the crowd, Councillor Dreslinskî stated that "it is important for us as a smail community to bold this service on an on-going yearly basis ". Councîlior Dreslînski was responsible for the reading of the namies of the fallen in the world wars and the Korean war. Two of the local sehools, Newcastle Public and St. Francis joined in the service. A student from each of the two scbools were responsible for a scripture reading. Sixteen wreaths were laid at the base of the Cenotaph, located on the west side of the Newcastle Village Community Hall.

But rumeour bas it that a unique tradition bas emerged in Hooterville. Apparently, Glen Stapleton was seen te emerge from his hom'mid-morning last Friday, laughing, dancing in the barnyard and kicking up bis heels. Finally, succumbing te bis obvious deligbt, he- kissed the manure pile, and was heard far and wide crvi ng "ils not us! It's net us!" Gienis cause for diclight?

For the Stapleton family, and for all of us, the a-nounicement is bittersweet relief following a complex and disheartening process.

The Toronto area cail is Classical 96FM and in Cobourg Classîcal 103. The station is the only commercial classical radio station in Ontario. the IWA's preferred sites boggies the mind, and elicits my sympathy. Why? Recause the problem we are dealing with is not entirely about finding a friendly back yard to dump several hundred thousand people's garbage over the next 20 years. As long as the issue of 'managing' garbage, rather than pitching it, is not addressed intelligently, it makes little sense to subject fainilies and their communities to an outdated- concept: that of dumping garbage on farmland .. . on any land, for that matter, when, not enough effort is expended in radical waste reduction initiatives. 1Now. fÏami lies in other comminunities wilI be hosts'tQ the outrageous amounts of waste generated by ahl of us. We may flot have a garbage dump in our community, but our garbage is going 10 someone else's com munity. Consequentiy, our victory in the dump war is a wanting victory for the> envirofiment. And, let us not forget Laidlaw salivating at the IWA's spoils, adament that tbey can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Waiting. Dealing with this issue has been a difficult process for many people. Victory didn't happen by accident. The Committee of Clarke Constituents has worked long, hiard hours on behalf of our community, making many personal sacrifices. We have bd the benefit of committed political representatives whose determination to stand behind their constituents is second to non --Local Councillor David Scott, Regional Councillor Ann Dreslinski, local MPP Gord Milis, and a long-time champion of the community, Mayor Diane Hamre. Ive sat 'at the table' with ail of these people, and am heartened by their dedication to our community. I have been particularly impressed by the professional expertise and acumen of municipal staff. Let no one tell you that îhey don't know how to play hiard bail on behaif of our community! This week, when you put your garbage out at the curb, remember --- its going to someone else's backyard.
