The Statesman has learned that Eldorado Eldorado Resources appears to be interested interested in acquiring approximately 500 acres in Clarke Township for the disposal of "historic" waste including 650,000 cubic metres of material currently currently stored at a Port Granby dump site. But Eldorado Resources won't say if it's considering land in Clarke Township as a permanent disposal Big Winner in Trapshooting E! \> V AUG 2 1 m NEWCAP, mue Lia;. . - I " vv. "" "'"'W ' . . V ' - . w, 4 This is one summer that Edwin W. Cook of High Street will remember for a long time. His banker will remember it too because Mr. Cook deposited more than $23,000 American in his account the first of the week. It's not a long story, just a happy one. You see, Mr. Cook is a 'trapshooter' and has been one for many years. Lately, part of his holidays from General Motors have been spent at Vandalia, Ohio, where the Amateur Trapshooting Association holds its Grand American Handicap each year, with about 5,000 competitors from the U.S.A., Canada and other countries taking part. His wife Vi of Kut N' Hurl Beauty Salon goes along for the week's outing and she too apparently enjoys the competition.. .especially this year. Last week, Mr. Cook's Winchester Diamond Grade 101 12 gauge shotgun was knocking those clay pigeons out of the sky at a tremendous rate. In fact, he racked up two 99 out of 100 scores and was tied with one other shooter. That meant a shootoff which Mr. Cook won, giving him the title of 'Preliminary Handicap Champion 1986.' It was an outstanding win that brought him the sterling silver setting trophy in an elaborate case complete with his title engraved on a plaque on the cover, plus several cheques totalling over $23,000 in U.S. funds. No doubt, Mr. Cook will spend the winter practising for next year's competition when he will be defending his title. In the meantime, no doubt, his $1,400 Winchester will be kept thoroughly cleaned and oiled in a prominent spot in their home. It certainly deserves it. The champ attributes his success to several things such as good equipment, quick reflexes and good eyesight, but gives great credit to his wife for her encouragement and understanding. site for low-level waste. And although some members of the community, including MP Allan Lawrence had indicated that they were expecting a public announcement announcement by Eldorado this Friday, Eldorado Eldorado has not confirmed that such an announcement is pending. Dave Smith, director of information information for the crown corporation, said Tuesday that no news conference had been scheduled. "When we are in a position to say something, we certainly certainly would," he added. There is little doubt that Eldorado has been searching for a workable waste disposal site which could accommodate accommodate material from Port Hope and the dump sites in Welcome and Port Granby. One possible site on land already owned by Eldorado near Highway 401 at Wesleyville is already under consideration. Durham Northumberland M.P. Allan Lawrence explains that a second second possible site was requested by the federal government on the understanding understanding that both alternatives would be presented to a federal environmental environmental assessment panel at a later date. While Mr. Lawrence could not com ment on the possibility of the second site being located in the Town of Newcastle, he said he is opposed to having nuclear waste stored in Wesley Wesley ville and would also be opposed to a site in the Town of Newcastle. "What they should be doing is looking looking further afield," Mr. Lawrence said, adding that locations in this community would be too close to Lake Ontario and to built up areas. He adds that any disposal site would require a large "buffer" area which would take usable land out of operation. operation. "I don't think this area has that amount of acreage available," he added. But the MP pointed out that regardless regardless of where the waste management sites are planned, they will not proceed proceed without ample opportunity for public input. He expects that the Wesleyville site and a second, unannounced unannounced location will be scrutinized by the environmental assessment panel sometime in the late winter. "There's going to be a lot of opportunity opportunity for input." Not quite 10 years ago, Eldorado presented plans for a uranium hexafluoride hexafluoride refinery and waste management management site to an environmental hear ing when it wished to develop a site at Port Granby. At that time, the panel rejected the Eldorado proposal. However, Eldorado continued to face the dilemma of what to do with approximately 20 years of low-level radioactive waste buried at Port Granby and other locations. John Veldhuis, chairman of the Port Granby Nuclear Monitoring Committee, estimates that there are 650,000 cubic metres of waste at Port Granby and a further 300,000 at a dump site in Welcome. Port Hope contains an additional 200,000 cubic metres. The purpose of the nuclear monitoring committee was to oversee the decommissioning of the Port Granby dump. And while the eventual eventual resting place of the material in Port Granby may not be directly within the committee's terms of refer- Turn to Page 2 Night Courses at Durham by Tammy Hill This fall, Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology will offer over 300 courses in its full and part-time programs.

Hon. John Turner told local Liberals at a picnic yesterday. "Our farmers are caught in a cost- price squeeze." The harsh words were aimed at the Mulroney government, which is ignoring ignoring the plight of the Canadian farmer, Mr. Turner said. And the speech was the main attraction attraction at the 8th Annual Barbecue Picnic held by the Durham-Northum- berland Liberals on Mac Ransberry's farm. | |j Mr. Turner mixed humor and anger in a speech which concentrated on the apathy he feels Prime Minister Mulroney shows towards the farmers in this region. The tone of the speech was quickly set by Mr. Turner, who described a humorous picture of how Mr. Mulroney Mulroney would have arrived at a local picnic. Mr. Turner said the large farm owned by the Ransberrys would barely have room for the limousines and hel icopters which are part of the Mulroney fanfare. "There's no way he would have spoken spoken to you so nakedly without that podium with the seal on it," Mr. f Turn to P'age 2 Big Move for Town Hall by Rob Savage The municipal offices in Bowman- ville are moving this weekend in preparation for renovations to the town hall. As of Monday morning, the Mayor's Office, council library, treasury and purchasing departments will be found in the Veltri Building. The clerk's departmént, by-law enforcement enforcement office and switchboard will be located at the former Bell Building across from the Town Hall. And the community services department will take up residence in the Police and Fire Building. "We're currently organizing the space and doing some renovations," said Administrator David Oakes. He said staff and employees of the town had worked on the renovations to the leased property. The actual construction work to the town hall remains remains to be contracted out, although an architect has been hired to do the plans. The move occurs at least one week ahead of the initial plans. The Labor iPBT m m K Day weekend was originally scheduled scheduled as the week for the move during a meeting in early July. 1/ But Mr. Oakes said council decided it would be better not to move on the weekend before they reconvene. "The amount of work that's involved just in getting ready for the move is incredible," he said3 He said moving this weekend worked out better for staff and for the movers. "It was probably the best decision decision because the movingcompanies were able to be available without interrupting interrupting their schedules," he said. The mayor's office and Councillors' library/meeting room will be moved to the Veltri Complex at 68 King St. E. The Treasury and Purchasing departments departments will also be moving to the Veltri complex.

BLACKSTOCK FAIR -- Everything is set to go at Blackstock Fairgrounds this Saturday with the parade taking place late in the morning, followed by the many entertaining events, races and exhibits, plus the livestock livestock show and competitions.

JUNIOR ORIOLES--After winning the first game here on Sunday and losing the second in Newmarket on Monday, Monday, the deciding one will be played at Soper Creek park this Sunday at 1. The Cowan Pontiac - L&L Tool Junior Orioles would love to have a large crowd on hand to give them some well deserved support. The Orioles are just one game away from the Ontario finals which is great. DURHAM COURSES -- We again bring to your attention attention the insert outlining the many courses available this fall and winter at Durham College in Oshawa.

Two of the lads in the group are from Newcastle, Newcastle, one from Bowmanville and the other from Toronto. APOLOGIES -- We certainly started Lt. Rick Shirran off on the wrong foot by misspelling his name in last week's Statesman. Unfortunately, the error wasn't discovered discovered until it was too late to correct. He's the new Salvation Army's Corps officer who took over from Capt. Ellis Cuff recently. mmmmm NEW FOUNTAIN -- Quite an attractive fountain is in the process of being completed at Northcutt Elliott Funeral Home on Wellington Street. The colored lights on the water at night are most effective although we doubt very much if it will attain the prominence of the one at the CNE. There, the standard remark was "We'll meet you at the fountain," which would hardly be appropriate appropriate here. mmmmmMÆrn Once Again the Bronc Was the Winner mv. gg» apt «IM 1É rwr, .. * Last Saturday, the Lakeshore Shriners Club sponsored a wild west Rodeo in Port Hope fairgrounds where Linda Foley, our Independent reporter, took this photo of a high-kicking bronc removing its rider.
