2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 26. 1976 Judo Supporters Run For Their Money from Toronto to Montreal Don't be surprised on Satur- day if you see someone dressed in judo gear trotting eastbound along highway 2, holding a Canadian Junior Olympic flag high in the air. He (or she) is not jumping the gun for Montreal's XXI Olympiad. It's part of a scheme to raise $4,000 for the first national judo competition for women and youth to be held at the brand new Olympie Velodrome on June 26th in Montreal. The Run-a-thon, which will cover the distance between Toronto and Montreal in six segments, is to be spread out over three weekends, accord- ing to co-ordinator Peter Croxall of Bowmanville. Judo enthusiasts from clubs spanning the route will take turns hoisting the flag. Each participant will run one mile of the 420 mile course, and then pass his flag to a fellow club member. The first seg- ment of the run from Toronto to Cobourg, will be handled by judo devotees from Toronto. Participants from Bowman- ville, Oshawa and surrounding areas will jog the distance between Cobourg and Nap- anee on Sunday. From there, eastern Ontario and Quebec teams will take over to complete the journey. Runners from this area include Leo Haunsberger, the former Austrian judo champ, who owns the Maple Leaf Judo Club at R.R.2 Bowmanville. He's also vice-president and technical director of Judo Canada and an organizer of Canada's Olympic team. He'll be joined by his wife Elfreda and Ray Wilson a former H orticultural Soc. Plant Sale Raises $70 for Projects Canadian heavyweigrnt champ. Other local runners will be Sue Alexander and Janice Foster, both of Oshawa, who are two members of the Ontario women's team partic- ipating in the Canadian championships next month. Judo Canada receives funds from Sports Canada to devel- op male athletes of Olympic Pan American or Common- wealth Games stature, but no financial assistance has been granted to women competitors or those in the 16-18 year old category of the sport. This year, through projects such as the Run-a-thon, Judo Canada is raising funds for the June 26th event, but organ- izers hope that in future Sports Canada will match contri- butions made'voluntarily to the competition. Record Crowd at Mosport For Victoria Day Sprints The largest crowd of motor sport fans that Mosport Park track officials have ever recorded for a Victoria Day weekend showed up for the first major race of the seasor in spite of the coldest May 24t since 1971. The Victoria Day Sprints over the weekend included racing for cars, grand prix motorcycles, dirt track racers and side car racers. The participants were competing in the unlimited 500 c.c. and 250 c.c. expert finals for motorcycles and the Bulova Championships for both Formula loos and 2.5 litre sedans in races for cars. Steve Baker of Bellingham, Washington won all three races in the unlimited expert class to keep his title as Canadian Grand Prix champion. He won the title last year by taking the points champion- ship on the Grand Prix circuit. This year he kept the championship in the 30-lap unlimited expert class by finishing one lap ahead of Frank Mrazek from Mis- sissauga, Ont. Baker's average speed on the Yamaha he rode was 95 miles per hour and his fastest, Conftrvers y (From Page One) he believed it had only been in existence since 1967 or 1968-. Records available from the Town of Newcastle show Mr. Hal e's dump datessback to some time before 1969 but they do not show exactly when it began operations. According to town by-law officer, Horace Best, the by-laws in Mr. Hale's area were changed in 1969 that a new dump would not be permitted. But, because Mr. Hale's dump pre-dated the new by-laws, it was allowed to remain, It had something called "legal non conforming land use" status. In other words, the cump was permit- ted because it had been there first. The Hale garbage dump had been used as a waste disposal area for what once was thé Township of Clarke. The dump is now under the jurisdiction of the Region. r- y lap, at 97.2 m.p.h. was driven in one minute and 31 seconds around the 2.459 mile track. Land Hindle of Toronto came in third place on his Kawasaki. Yvon Duhamel, a former Canadian champion from Montreal had to drop out of the race after the engine in his motorcycle blew out on the 17th lap. In the 500 c.c. race, Gary Collins of Barrie came second m(PP Urges (From Page One) controls be imposed on young drinkers. At Wednesday's meeting, Mr. Jones assailed N.D.P. governments in British Col- umbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba maintaining that there was no room for the 'ruthless' policies of the socialists in Ontario. "If you listen closely enough," Mr. Jones stated, "then you soon become oppos- ed to the cosy platitudes spouted repeatedly by our socialist friends." Referring to the record of the minority Tory government at Queen's Park, he encourag- ed his audience of-50 not to-be apologists. "We have achiev- ed much for the overall good of the people in the province and we can look back with pride in our accomplish- ments. " As for the Ontario New Democrats, Mr. Jones said that they had recentlyscircu- iated a pamphlet claiming to be 'a friend of the business- man'. The message was that the New Democratic weren't going to be. 'pushy' with private enterprise if and when they formed the government. Mr. Jones countered by saying that he resents the N.D.P. laim to have a monopoly over concern about the common man. He pointed out that in Saskatchewan, the New Democrats kept theirE hands off the potash'industry when it was in financial difficulty, but after privateî enterprise had built it up, thec socialists nationalized the valuable resource. c The Mississauga Northf M.P.P. also had words for government auto insurance schemes._In British Columbia, _ z ti 1 on his Yamaha, with Richard Chambers of Fairfield, Virginia finishing in third place. Saturday's open-expert motocross race was won by Mike Boyle of Peterborough. Danny Burritt of Toronto won the Formula 100 auto race on Sunday. Don McKnight from Toronto was second and John Scratch of Goderich, Ont. came third in the 20-lap race. low insurance rates meant that the taxpayer footed the bill, and that personal service offered by private agents was replaced by a 'bureaucratic nightmare.' In the past, Stephen Lewis has called private auto insur- ance a 'rip-off' which should be replaced by compulsory government insurance. "Yet," Mr. Joues asked, "if government auto insurance is so great, why not let private enterprise go into competition with the government plan?" In terms of taxation, Mr. Jones said that it would be a good thing to remember the resource tax levied in B.C. when the next Ontario election rolls around. "We can't allow the social- ists to- get their rapacious hands on our resour ces," he stated. Referring to the tax as 'straight confiscation; Mr. Jones added that the enthus- iasm of the tax collector in British Columbia would have made the Sheriff of Notting- ham envious. As for the Ontario economy, the speaker stated that the Davis government "has work- ed pretty hard to sponsor and foster an economic af- mosphere in which the small businessman can flourish." ."Our efforts are directed toward improving private enterprise" not replacing it with government control, Mr. Jones added. To that end, a 'positive effort' has been made by the Tories. He explained that the government had set up a Small Business Operations Division with six regional offices and 22 field offices in order to provide information for those interested in de- veloping industry, tourism and commerce. "These agencies are effective...and they're dealing on a grass roots level." "The present government is oing what it can to create ncentives. "If the foundations >f the system were changed, it Aould put our society in serious jeopardy,' Mr. Jones ;aid. "There seems to be no place or the assumption that profits re immoral. They're a legiti- nate reward for a business- nan's investment," the I.P.P. stated. Referring to the possibility an election at any time, Mr. Jones concluded by saying hat "there is an absolute need >r preparedness. Port Granby e (From Page One) Environment had taken to control nuclear waste at the Port Granby dump site. He also asked the Minister of the Environment, George Kerr if he knew that the licence permitting Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. to use the dump site there will expire on June 30. A committee searching for a new site to dump nuclear waste bas been formed, Mr. Kerr answered. The committee with the deputy minister of the en- vironment as chairman includes representatives from the company, the Ontario Ministry of Health, the federal ministries and the AECB, he said. The province cannot have' public hearings for the selection of a site, Mr. Kerr said, because of the federal government's powers of expropriation. He told members of the legislature that an article in the Toronto Globe and Mail on May 18 exDressing the oinion that the AECB could not find a new site for the dump was false Windy, wet weather last Wednesday forced the Horticultural Society of Bowmanville to hold their annual Flower Sale in the basement of the library instead of outdoors on the front lawn. In the photo, Mrs. Evelyn Gingell and Mrs. Ivy Henry help give prospective customers a few hints on the care of plants. The sale raised $70 which will help finance beautification projects around town, including planting flowers at the police station, library and cenotaph. SEAP Support Grows, At I nformat'Éon Meet' Port Granby residents pro- testing Eldorado Nuclear Limited's proposal to expand a 26 acre dump site there, were given a chance to state some of their objections to the proposal at a meeting held in the Newtonville Public School on May 19th. More than 100 residents from the area gathered in the school's gymnasium at the meeting organized by the recently formed Save Our Environment from Atomic Pollution (SEAP) group. E J. Veldhuis, interim chairman of SEAP, said the meeting was called to inform local residents about the expansion proposal of Eldor- ado Ltd. Neither Conservative MP Allan Lawrence or NDP-MPP Doug Moffatt attended the session to which they were invited by Mr. Veldhuis. Representing the Town of Newcastle council, Mayor' Garnet Rickard and Council- lor Ken Lyall were present to speak to the people of the area. Coun. Lyall who was oppos- ed to meeting with Eldorado for discussions about the feasibility of a nuclear refin- ery, said the battle between the community and the coun- cil appeared to have ended. Coun. Lyall said the council completely turned around by deciding to ask the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) not to renew the licence of Eldorado Ltd. allowing thlemto use the 26 acre dump site at Port Granby. 'Now ahl we have to do -is win the battle with tbe AECB" he said. Barry Spinner a chemnicai engineer working with Energy Probe, a group affiliated with Pollution Probe, told the Plant Sale Successful Despite Poor Weather The Bowmanville Horticul- tural Society held its annual Plant Sale on Wed., May 19th at 7:00 p.m. in the Public Library downstairs lobby. Considering that the weather was so bad, there was a fair turnout for the event.' The regular monthly meet- ing was held immediately after the sale at 8:00 p.m. There was a small flower show held in conjunction with the meeting. This show was a success, even with suc hbad we'ather conditions. wbich have really beat down tie spring flowers this year. The attendance at this meeting was excellent. There were visitors from Oshawa, Newcastle and as far afield as Lakefield. The guest speaker was Chieko Hisamune, on "Jap- anese Flower Arranging". Mrs. Hisamune demonstrated Report Favors (From Page One) The report suggests that servicing of development in the easterly area is the most expensive and requires the greatest front end costs, primarily on account of the expensive transportation acilities required to service he area." However, it adds hat the easterly develop- ment's higher servicing costs ire partly offset by what it alls "higher cost of water and ewage services for develop- ment in the west." But considering the total ifference between develop- ment in the east and west, the ost, according to the report, s '$2,140 per residential unit I favour of development west )f Martin Road."1 The report goes on to say hat no matter what growth attern is adopted in the uture, the present Soper reek sewage treatment plant hould not be enlarged. In- tead, it recommends a new lant that would have less npact on the environment, cated somewhere West of artin Road. A new arterial road going ast and west and another rterial along Mearns Avenue nd linked with Highway 401 e also recommended. Both e needed to serve new velopment areas to the east. f t t n a c s rr d c i of th pz fi C si st loi M ea ar ar ar ar de - the techniques of Sogetsu arrangements.

This trip will got to Hamilton Botannical Gardens and other points of interest in that area. Anyone interested in this trip, contact Mr. Alf Brown, 623-5034. The Bowmanville Society has a membership of approx. 65. All these members though, are not active participants. The society is ahive and well now, but in future, it will need more new and active mem- bers. Your Horticultural Society is lots of fun, but there is some work connected, just as there is with any club. This work is enjoyable and you learn while you do it. Some industrious members of the society will be putting in the spring plantings around the town, within the next couple of weeks. So that you, our town citîzens, can enjoy these plantings in the seasons to come. Do not take short cuts through them or pick flowers from them, or throw garbage in them. If you see anyone doing this, point out to them that there is hard work involved in these plantings and they are there to be admired. The next meeting will be June 16th, 1976. The guest speaker will be Mr. Bill Slute from Port Perry, on Land- scaping. Here are a few tips on tomato plants. When you are buying your tomato plants they should have formed buds, but nofobe in bloom. Tomato plants love humus, so dig an extra amount into your soil before planting. A compost with live bacteria such as cattle manure is best to keep your tomato plant happy and healthy. Do not plant your tomatoes before May 24th. If you stake your plants, put the stake in at the time of planting. For more inform- ation come out to your Horticultural Society. Geraniums get their name from the German word for crane since it's believed the fruit looks like a crane's bill. owned corporation, Eldorado Nuclear Ltd., has been break- ing the laws set by the AECB for some time. Mr, Spinner accused the corporation of breaking a regulation requiring a fence to be built around any nuclear fill dump site. The Energy Probe engineer also said the lieence given to also said the licence given to areas in the nortb, Mr. Eldorado permitting them to dump nuclear waste at Port Granby did not fit under any of the regulations set down by the federal government agency. Mr. Spinner said he did not understand why Eldorado officials thought that Port Granby would accept the 150,000 yds. of radioactive material the Port Hope did not want. On a question from a member of the audience concerning the feasibility of Eldorado transporting their nuclear fill to uninhabitated areas in the north, Mr., REKKER Spinner answered that it was the corporation's responsibil- ity to do whatever was necessary to get rid ot it. Over 60 people of those who attended the meeting joined the SEAP group to protest the proposal of Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. to expand their present dump site. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard told the audience that the council was only interest- ed in hearing what Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. was planning to do with the land they had optioned in the Port Granby area. The council wants to "ap- proach the matter with as an intelligent manner as we can," he said. Although the present zoning bylaw prohibits a dumping site in Port Granby, Mr. Rickard said because Eldorado's dumping site exist- ed before the bylaw did, that it would not apply. Mr. Rickard also said that Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. was a responsible corporation in the past that obeyed the laws tlat applied to uranium refining. "They trieci to operate ny laws and the rules that were MasMn the rulAr M,'.

The Mayor also indica, that he is interested i knowing more about the proposal Eldorado has made to build a $50 million refinery in Port Granby. He said a quick rejection of their proposal could be similar to a decision made by the Bowmanville council 60 years ago to reject General Motors' offer to build an assembly plant in the town FLOWERS " DRIED FRESH TROPICAL GREEN PLANTS 3 STORES: Highway No. 2 King St. é7., Oshawa Simcoe St. N., VIOmE Oshawa GROWERS OF QUALITY POT PLANTS/BEDDING PLANTS R.R. 6 - BoWimnvile Telephone 623-2300 for your Spring planting needs.
