Dear Mr. Editor: Back in the early 50's when Eldorado Resources Ltd. established chemical and radioactive dump sites along the shores of Lake Ontario, Ontario, the people adjacent to them were not concerned. concerned. Who was to doubt the government and its available available technology? Thirty years later we know better and realize the alarm and stupidity of the 1950's actions. actions. Presently, we are faced with something even more enormous in our community community -- Darlington Generating Generating Station. Is it morally, environmentally environmentally and financially financially acceptable? I find the apathy in Bowmanville very similar to that of the people of Port Hope a few years ago. Today, many have awakened, discovering that although Eldorado provided provided jobs, the town and its people had to pay the heavy penalty for its benefits. How many are aware that the D. G. S. is the only nuclear nuclear facility in North America ordered since 1976 that has not been cancelled or shut down? The United States has cancelled or shut down their nuclear reactors ordered since 1976. Why? Our precious Darlington is the only plant going full steam ahead in N. A. Should we be proud or fearful? Many people in this area counterattack the anti-nuclear anti-nuclear theme by stating that Ontario Hydro is providing 6,500 jobs. They are adamant adamant that the cancellation of the plant would have taken food from their tables. Superficially, Superficially, this appears correct. correct. But Ontario Hydro is approximately $24 billion in debt. Darlington is costing costing $11 billion to construct. Where is the money coming from?...from you and me, the taxpayers. If the provincial provincial government directed $11 billion to any other industrial industrial or commercial project, project, it would surely employ at least 6,500 people. Furthermore, Furthermore, the work force would continue at a high level and not dwindle off to only 750 employees as will occur at the completion of Darlington. Will Bowmanville Bowmanville experience a large financial financial sHvijpjntljeigOO's? Is,it,justifiable that, an $11 billion investment should result in only 750 jobs? - It must be noted that Ontario Ontario Hydro's $11 billion estimated estimated cost of Darlington does not include the cost of discovering the solution to the high level radioactive waste which to date is not solved. It does not include the cost of decommissioning decommissioning the plant once it has reached its lifespan. The financial financial cost of Darlington is grossly underestimated and the environmental cost is not even considered. Would not expenditures on alternate alternate energy research, conservation conservation and energy adaptation adaptation be more sensible? Furthermore, no insurance insurance companies carry any coverage what-so-ever in regards to nuclear related accidents. The Nuclear Liability Liability Act protects the companies companies who make components components for reactors, i.e. Westinghouse, Westinghouse, allowing them to be unaccountable ifan accident accident occurs. Ontario Hydro is only liable for a minor amount. And then what about the liability of cancer 10-30 years after a nuclear catastrophe? In add lion to The' great risks of the plant itself, the Town of Newcastle now is on the doorstep of having yet another radioactive hazard in our community the Tritium Removal Facility Facility at Darlington. Tritium contaminated heavy water will be tractor-trailer transported transported through our region from Pickering and Bruce. Tritium, a radioactive isotope and an extreme health and environmental danger, is a vital part in nuclear nuclear weapons. Although tritium should be removed from the heavy water in reactors to prevent worker and environment exposure, if the process was done on site of the presently operating operating Bruce and Pickering, the exposure of the general public to harm would be minimized. Our area has the ingredients ingredients for a radioactively- polluted future. This region, region, I am sure does not want to be labelled the nuclear dump of the 2000's, i.e. stockpiled with plutonium in spent fuel rods, pure tritium, once again on the shores of Lake Ontario. Nuclear Nuclear mistakes of our present present decisions unfortunately unfortunately will carry an unforgivable unforgivable oppression to the future human race. Let us not become an endangered species. Barbara Humphrey Dear John: It was quite a pleasant surprise to see the letter from Calvin Devitt of Michigan in last week's (January 14) edition of the Statesman. I first heard about Calvin last year from my cousin' Helen Devitt of 116 Liberty N. in Bowmanville and, since then, I've been wanting to get in touch with him. I could not locate Calvin at his address of twenty years ago so want to express my thanks to you and your staff for printing his letter with his present address. I will be writing to Calvin right away now to see if we can connect our Devitt ancestors. Re Devitt's Hall - this was an Orange Hall and the meeting place of Devitt's Loyal Orange Lodge No. 43. There is an account of this Lodge and Devitt's Hall in the book "Cartwright Re-Visited" -.1983 Edition edited by Ms. Doreen. Van Camp. Copies of thÿ booF are available from' Mrs. Joyce Kelly, 53 Scugog St., N., Blackstock if any of your readers are interested. The account, brief as it may be, outlines the history of L.O.L. NO. 43 from its formation in 1847 (perhaps earlier) until 1976 when the hall was sold, taken down and the members amalgamated with the L.O.L. No. 399 at Purple Hill. Would anyone in the area, by chance, have a picture of Devitt's Hall? If so, I would like to get a copy to send to Calvin Devitt. Again, John, many thanks for helping me find a lost cousin.

Call lor an appointment. by Rob Savage Regional Chairman Gary Herrema says Durham Region won't use "Gestapo" "Gestapo" tactics to force people to use healthy water systems. In a visit to Newcastle's General Purpose Committee on Monday, Chairman Herrema and regional officials officials outlined the approaches taken by the region when they learn of an unhealthy water supply. Chairman Herrema said the officials officials use reasonable methods to try and resolve the problem. "We probably have legislation which would allow us to be Gestapo," he said. He argued that limitations in the number of regional health staff, combined combined with a need for police and court orders in many cases, makes strict enforcement impossible. The issue came to the committee following the town's concerns about municipal and regional liability for the contaminated water systems in Newtonville, Courtice, Tyrone Spring and other areas. During the delegation, Mayor John Winters wondered ifNewcastle could be held liable. Regional officials confessed that specific cases would have to be decided decided in court. "The judge will tell who has the final liability," Chairman Herrema said. Regional Solicitor Shan Jain agreed agreed and said he could only tell council council of the laws applicable to health hazards. He said he could not answer the hypothetical cases presented by Mayor Winters, arguing that a judge would rule each case on its own merit. He added that he did not believe there were any precedents for these situations. The laws described by Mr. Jain put some onus on both the region and the municipality. Two sections of the Health, Protection Protection and Promotion Act applied specifically specifically to the region. Those sections showed that the regional Medical Officer Officer can close any water system deemed unsafe and can rule that building owners must provide potable potable water. In the Municipal Act, there were two sections which apply to both the town and the region. They said town council can pass a by-law forcing a homeowner to fill an unsafe well. The problem in many cases is that regional and town officials need the homeowner's permission to test an unsafe well. If a homeowner fears that a bad test will lead to a by-law forcing the well to be closed, he will deny access to the well. That leaves the regional health officials forced to seek help from the police and courts. "We would spend a large percentage percentage of our time beating down people's doors, trying to make them do something they have chosen not to do," said Brian Devitt, the Region's Director of Environmental Health. • Instead, the officials stressed that! they advise people of a problem and offer solutions which include the com struction of a communal water sys^' tern. •' That leads to a problem of cost. ' In Newtonville, residents initially! voted against a communal water system system which cost $1.5 million to construct construct (in 1935 dollars). The local vote was only overturned last year after regional council ap- : proved a new policy which sees the 60 per cent funding from the Ministry of the Environment passed on di-i rectly to the residents. Construction of that water system should begin next year. ; In Courtice, the offer of a coim munal water system for residents in the Nash Road/Darlington Blvd. area never was accepted. The Ministry of Environment has not agreed to fund that project and many voted against it because of the costs. The region needs a 60 per cent favorable vote before any project in Courtice could begin. Chairman Herrema said that if seven fixed-income residents could be convinced to take advantage of an ownership renewal program, the residents residents in the area might receive a majority vote. LETTER TO THE EDITOR C.A.VV. President Demands Apology From Local M.P.P. John Sinclair, President of Local 222, C.A.W., in a telegram sent yesterday afternoon to Larry Grossman, Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, demanded an apology from one of Mr. Grossman's members, Sam Cureatz, for remarks made about the closure, of the Cadburÿ- Schweppes plant in Whitby. Mr. Cureatz, in an article published last Sunday in Oshawa This Week, stated that he would boycott a meeting called by the C.A.W. to discuss with and request from local politicians assistance in saving the jobs at the Cadbury plant. Mr. Cureatz said, "It (the C.A.W.) should be meeting with Bob Rae and finding out what Bob Rae is going to do about the closure." Mr. Cureatz contends that the Executive of Local 222, C.A.W. is not doing everything it should for the Cadbury workers, and that it should he up to Mike Breaugh, M.P.P., Oshawa, and Bob Rae, to do something for the employees of Cadbury. "Mr. Cureatz's remarks show his obvious lack of . concern for the„employees of Cadbury, many. of .whom live in his Riding," Sinclair stated. "As a resident of Mr. Cureatz's Riding and a Representative of the Cadbury workers, I am insulted by his callous attitude when called upon as an elected official to assist us in saving the jobs of these Canadian Cadbury workers." C.A.VV. President Demands Apology From Tory M.P. John Sinclair, President of Local 222, C.A.W., in a telegram sent to the Prime Minister, Brian Mulronëy, demanded an apology for the callous remarks by M.P. Scott Fennell made in the Oshawa Times Newspaper, Friday, January 16,1987. Mr. Fennell's remarks not only are insulting to the employees of Cadbury, but also show his lack of concern in" trying to save the jobs of these employees, most of whom live in his Riding. I urge you in your capacity as Leader of the Progressive Conservatives, to demand an apology from Mr. Fennell for the Cadbury workers, and to assist us in trying to save the jobs of the Cadbury employees in Mr. Fennell's Riding.
