LyaII Argues With Mnister's Aide Newcastle Councillor Ken Lyall told an aide of Energy Mines and Resources Minister Âlastair Gillespie to "sit down and shut up" durimg an argument at a Port Hope news conference last week. Mr. Gillespie was at the news conference to answer questions dealing with the federal government's cleanup of sites in Port Hope contain- ing high levels of radloacti- vity. The argument between Councillor Lyall and the aide broke out when the aide announced the conference was over. Councillor Lyall objected to that announcement. He had brought with him a petition from residents in Newcastle ïELI' BY THE DAY-V OR MONTH WEEK opposed to Eldorado Nuclear Limited's dumping of radio- active wastes at a site near the village of Port Granby. Coun- cillor Lyall said he wanted to present the petition to the minister and although Mr. Gillespie indicated he would accept the petition, the aide iasisted that the meeting was over. That was when the shouting match took place. Councillor Lyall told the aide to sit down and shut up and then handed the petition to the minister. At the news conference last Friday, Mr. Gillespie blamed the press for what he called criminal reporting of Port Hope's radiation problems. He said Port Hope residents have complained that because of news reports, the town has been given a bad name. Mr. Gillespie said the fed- eral government is looking for a temporary site inside Port Hope where wastes from the Eldorado plant can be dump- ed. Newcastle council decided last Monday to recommend to the federal government that Eldorado's permit to dump waste near Port Granby not be renewed. Caucus Welcome Briefs on Bil55 Durham East MPP, Doug Moffatt said this week that his party's caucus would be pleased to hear any briefs resulting from last week's gathering of mayors in Oshawa to discuss Bill 55. The meeting of a dozen mayors and mayor's repre- sentatives from communities in regional municipalities criticized the provincial gov- ernment last Thursday for introducing Bill 55 without first consulting the regions. The bill invol'es planning and one of the more contro- versial parts of the legislation would let the region rather than the local municipality control all land 150 feet from a regional road. Mr. Moffatt told the States- man Monday that if Bill 55 were made law, control of the Bowmanville downtown area would belong not to the local municipality (Newcstle) but to the region. He said the bill as it now stands, clearly states Perry and Terry Bradley tertained many of their iends at their 19th birthday arty on Saturday night.

Tom Badluk has been on Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 2, 1976 7 Two-Years-OId on May 31st that where there is a contra- diction between the munici- pality and the region, the decision of the region would prevail, Bill 55 had its first reading two weeks ago but since then it has not been before the Ontario legislature. Mr. Mof- fatt said this could be because the government has been getting a negative reaction from some communities. He added that the delay is a good thing because it provides time for communities to have some input into the bill. Such input will be coming from the group of mayors who met in Oshawa Thursday. A resolution expressing the con- cerns of the group will be going to the Ontario minister of treasury, economics and intergovernmental affairs. The resolution will also go to opposition leaders at Queen's Park. St. Catharines Mayor, Joe Reid said Thursday that the concerns of the mayors group have to be brought to the legislature before bill 55 receives third reading. Alder- man Ian Stout, the representa- tive from Hamilton, suggested that the mayors' group force a hearing before the next read- ing of the bill. Oshawa Mayor Jim Potti- cary, who called last week's meeting, said at a council meeting Thursday that lie is concerned that the province is trying to give more power to the regions and wipe out municipalities.
