Burglars stole cash, Jjewelry from home Police said the stolen items includâ€" ed foreign coins, Olympic Commemorative coins, old coins and jewelry including a wedding ring. Decomposing clippings are full of nitrogen and return beneficial nutrients to the soil, said Baker. "A researcher at Guelph University once told me something I won‘t soon forget, ‘We‘ve got the best ferâ€" tilizer in the world and everyone wants to pick it up and throw it in the dump.‘ It‘s true, people don‘t realize the benefits of grass clipâ€" pings." The course maintenance crews dispose of green and fairway clipâ€" pings, by spreading them in the rough, which is the same type of grass as the homes in the Oakville area. "It takes no time at all for the clippings to decompose. After one good day of sun, the clippings dry up and disappear," said Baker. Thieves stole about $1,800 in cash and jewelry from a Marine Drive resiâ€" dence during a daylight burglary, Friday, report the Halton Regional Police. Entry was gained into the residence by forcing open the front door someâ€" time between 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. By ROSS POLLOCK Special to the Oakville Beaver Oakville homeowners are being required to add another word to their environmental vocabulary â€" grassâ€" cycling. The Glen Abbey Golf Club, has been grasscycling since it opened for business in 1976. Dean Baker, Head Course Superintendent Glen Abbey explained that the course bagged one week‘s worth of clippings after a Canadian Open a few years ago. It cost the course over $7,000 to disâ€" pose of the clippings. "Since then, it has been a policy of the Royal Canadian Golf Association and Glen Abbey, not to bag clippings," he said. ‘"We‘re not just saving the Town collection costs, we‘re saving tipâ€" ping fees ($160/ton) and lengthening the life of the landfill site," said Keith Flowers, chairman of the Citizen‘s Waste Management Advisory Committee. "People have to realize that this is not just an economic decision, it‘s environmental as well. This is a winâ€" win situation for the residents of Oakville," said Mayor Ann Mulvale. And they better learn it quickly because on Thursday homeowners will no longer be able to dispose of their grass clippings with their reguâ€" lar garbage pickâ€"up. By imposing a ban on grass clipâ€" pings, the Town of Oakville expects to save taxpayers approximately $500,000 a year in regional landfill tipping fees and garbage collection costs. The resolution to impose the grass clipping ban was approved by Town Council in June, 1992, and again during this year‘s budget deliberations. Grass clipping ban starts Thursday Their best available option is to grasscycle â€" leave the grass clipâ€" pings on the lawn after mowing.

Residents urged to grasscycle Waste Manager for the Town of Oakville, there are a number of other municipalities in Ontario that have already implemented a grass clipâ€" ping ban. Jones said that waste collection crews will be monitoring waste, and all clippings will be left behind. With assistance from the Grass Turf Institute at Guelph University, The creation of a huge new natural gas transport system ending in Oakville is the subject of a special public open house Thursday in Burlington. At issue is a project â€" the InterCoastal Pipe Line â€" capable of delivering 230 million cubic feet of natâ€" ural gas per day to markets in southern Ontario. Phase I of the undertaking, estimated to cost $67 million, includes the conversion to gas of approximately 242 km of existing oil pipeline from Samia to Oakville. According to Interprovincial Pipe Line Inc. (IPL) spokesman Chris Haussmann, the bulk of the existing oil line was constructed in 1967 and needs only to be converted to accommodate natural gas. Other parts of Phase I, howâ€" ever, will require the construction of such links as a new underground crossâ€" ing of the St. Clair River to connect with a pipeline in Michigan. From 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. the public can drop by Tyandaga Municipal Golf Course, 1265 Tyandaga Park Dr., and speak to representatives of those involved in the endeavor. Conversion itself starts with the removal of crude oil from the pipeline after which the line is scraped, swabbed and washed with cleaning solutions.

Some locations will require new valves. Following these modificaâ€" tions the entire line will be tested with water at a pressure well above future operating pressure. The water is then removed and the line dried. the Town has put together a brochure that will be distributed to all homes in Oakville. The brochure answers some questions and points out the benefits of grasscycling. As well, a complimentary public semiâ€" nar on the benefits of grasscycling and composting will be held on Thursday, April 15th, 7:30 p.m. at the Glen Abbey Golf Club. The pipeline currently ends in the Ninth Line area of Oakville just south of Milton. (Milton will be the site of a new metering facility.) From that point the pipeline connects with Consumers‘ Gas Ltd. lines for delivery to its cusâ€" tomers. In January, IPL signed a Memorandum of understanding with Consumers‘ Gas to develop a new natuâ€" ral gas transportation system. "Our next step is to present the proâ€" posal to the public for their review and input before submitting an application to the National Energy Board (NEB) for approval," said IPL Eastern Division manager Jack Hicks. IPL plans to submit this application in April. A decision by the NEB is expected by the end of March 1994. If the green light is given, construction would commence in midâ€"1994 with the first delivery of gas anticipated in November 1994.
