Cobourg Art Gallery offic- ially opened on Friday, Janu- ary 7th. An interesting note was brought to our attention in that after a four year search the original corner stone placed beneath the ground of the Victoria Hall building 120 years ago bas been found. It contained a broken bottle, some coins and newspapers dated 1856 of the Globe of Toronto. In the recent renova- tions, the cornerstone was relaid by Ian McNab. There are a number of uses for discarded Christmas trees. Use as windbreaks for young plants, feeders for birds, trim off branches and use trunks for firewood, use the branches to protect young plants are a few of the suggestions offered. 4-R Clüibs in Ontario are basically for young people living in rural areas but anyone interested may join.

Fourteen 100 mile Tyrone Student Chosen Outstanding Young Canadian Bowmanville's Jaycees have chosen 20-year-old Dawn Vaneyk of Tyrone as the area's outstanding young Canadian. She is a student at Guelph University and the recent winner of the Dorothy Shoemaker literary award in the senior prose category. Miss Vaneyk is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Vaneyk of Tyrone. The Bowmanville Jaycees have chosen 20-year-old Dawn Vaneyk, of Tyrone, as this year's outstanding young Canadian. At à Jaycee dinner meeting in Orono last Wednesday evening, Newcastle Mayor, Garnet Rickard made the Jaycees' choice official with the presentation of a plaque. And speaking briefly of Miss Vaneyk's achievements, Mayor Rickard said, "I think this club bas chosen well." A literary award, high school awards and a 4H County Honors Certificate are a few of her accomplishments. In addition, Miss Vaneyk bas been active in school and church projects. She is currently attending the University of Guelph where she is working on an bonour's degree i English. Literary Award In December of last year, Dawn Vaneyk was presented with the Dorothy Shoemaker Literary Contest Award. She placed first in the senior category of the prose section, and received her award in a presentation at the Kitchener Public Library. In 1975 she graduated from Courtice Secondary School with an Ontario Scholarship and the grade 13 history award. While at the high school, Miss Vaneyk also worked behind the scenes with the drama club in some of its successful productions and she was a member of the choir. Volunteer In addition, she was part of the volunteer candystriper program at the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital and she was a junior forest ranger in the summer of 1974. A member of the Tyrone United Church, she belongs to a young people's organization, teaches Sunday school class at her university town of Guelph and also assists in the choir at the Guelpb church. Since she bas been selected locally as an outstanding Canadian, Dawn Vaneyk becomes eligible for a national award. From the local nominees across the country, five will be selected to receive Vanier Awards which will be present- ed March 5, in Halifax. public credibility. Take for example the slick handout folder entitled the Port Gran- by Plan now being circulated, or the press release from the same source. Now that Eldor- ado bas unveiled its plans for the Port Granby area, with its spanking new $80 million refinery (with dumping priv- ileges included), we are to get the full impact of a well oiled propaganda campaign. Both of these publications are liberally laéed with terms such as "studies" "assess- ments",Tý'impact statements" and feasibility reports". The word "environment" appears like a rash throughout the entire dissertation as though the mere repetition of the word should convey some magic assurance. But, first let us discuss credibility. How can one possibly give credence to a contention that, after an intensive $1,000,000 two-year study of 17 potential Ontario locations, a small plot of land with some particular "subsur- face geological" merit was finally located right at Port Granby, and only 1,000 yards from the poison-laden cess- pool that bas been polluting Lake Ontario up to this moment? Incredible? Yes, after you realize that rela- tively little research was used in finding the original sink hole. The bold statement is made that "The project's effect on the environment will be in- significant." Now, even we ,country louts know that a poultry farm produces eggs and also chicken manure, that a sawmill produces lumber and also sawdust (both bio- degradable). What we should now understand is that this uranium refinery is designed to produce a highly controver- sial and dangerous fuel, UF-6, plus quantities of radioactive solids and toxic materials that are potential polluters. The UF-6 is shipped out of the country to do its work, while the residue stays with us. In the past some bas spilled in transit, some bas seeped into the lake. But now we are told that it is to be put into some sort of foolproof bunkers-for- ever. How long, pray, is forever? The quantity of power required to run this operation is stated to be 315 million gallons of Bunker C oil per year plus 10,000 kilowatts of electricity. Now let us do a little bit of energy accounting. Since the entire output from the plant (the fuel) is for export, it would appear that we are faced with a net loss of energy all along the line-the foreign powers get the power- pack and we expend our dwindeling fossil fuel re- serves, fuels that could heat Canadian bouses and create food-and all this to create 150 jobs that could be created in some better way. There may be dollars to be made in such financial gymnastics, but it all seems to indicate a new form of analytical bankruptcy. Then there is the question of retaining the essential rural character of this agricultural area. Any industry tends to attract kindred industries. We are assured that only 50 acres of farm land will be used from the 657 tract acquired, but who wants to farm in an area where the sword of Damocles hangs constantly over ones head and the industrial con- fusion constitutes a nuisance. Yes, there comes a time in the history of every com- munity when firm and far- reaching deçisions have to be made. Those who have not yet make up their minds on the subject of radioactive contam- ination have only a short time left to ponder. The year 1977 will be a year for 'big decisions. If you are concerned and would like to live in a safer environment there is an op- portunity here to make your weight felt. The S.E.A.P. group is a non-political organ- ization which has opposed the refinery from day one. Many members are deeply con- cerned since they are resi- dents of this immediate area. They feel that the chips are now down and they look to their neighbours for help. They also feel that such groups as the Town Council, the Ratepayers' Association, church organizations, social The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 12, 1977 7 Jan. 4, 1977, suddenly.
