The resolution to oppose Me- tro was introduced by Newcastle councillor Ann Cowman who said recent events have given N1 prior- ity status with Metro in the search for a garbage dump. Cowman was referring to the recent federal announcement of Lord's Prayer banned (From page 1) part of the start of the school day for students and staff, but they had no choice but to abide by the in- structions from the Education Ministry and School Board. The court ruling which brought about this change said re- citing the Lord's Prayer in public schools is unconstitutional for re- ligious reasons. It is not known if that ruling is to be appealed. The ruling does not apply to schools in the Separate System in Onta- rio. The "Student's Credo for Uni- ty" was approved for use in Dur- ham Public Schools several years ago. It reads as follows: "We join together in gratitude for our country Canada, so rich in its peo- ple, its beauty, its heritage and resources. We trust that our nation will ever be a truly human community and a place of peace, where we may live in resepct for one another, having grown in wisdom and spirit through sharing our lives with people different from ourselves. May we be strengthened in our unity through the appreciation of our various backgrounds of all kinds-- ethnic, cultural and relig- ious, recognizing that these differences between us do not divide, but add to the richness of our land and our lives together. Believing in these things, we will ever strive to cultivate harmony and tranquility among all those who identify as Canadians, always thankful for the mo- saic which is the true basis of our nation." $10 million to turn the Rouge Valley into a park. At one time, this area was considered as a site for a new Metro Toronto dump, but the federal announcement of money has ruled that out. "The federal government has blitzkrieged the town of Newcas- tle," said Cowman. While Regional councillors were unanimous in agreeing to block any attempts by Metro To- ronto to open a dump near Dar- lington, some residents of the area feel the battle may already be lost. Susan Ellston, angrily to the council meeting last week that so far she has heard "only empty wrods from Regional councillors," over this issue. "Putting a dump on the shores of Lake Ontario between a nuclear plant and a provincial park is sui- cide, but it may be too late" (to stop it) The resolution to fight the dump if it is selected as a Metro site, is just the latest in a long series of issues relating to the gar- bage crisis that has hit Metro To- ronto and Durham Region. Metro owns and operates a huge dump in Pickering and has granted Durham dumping privileg- es at a reduced rate. However, that dump will be filled by 1990, and that has set off a scramble by Metro and Durham to come up with both a short and long tenn solution over what to do with the millions of tons of garbage generated each year. Later this week, a delegation of officials and councillors from Durham will officially ask Metro for "exclusive dumping privileg- es" at the Pickering site. Though this request is likely to be turned down by Metro, if it is approved, the Pickering site will handle Durham's garbage for the next five years, if Metro stops dumping there. And Pickering regional coun- cillor Bob Mitchell has introduced a notice of motion that he will be asking Durham to split complete- ly from Metro in the joint search for a solution to the garbage cri- sis.
