Tow.n Attends Hea rings The Town of Newcastle is keeping a low profile at the environmental assessment hearings into the pro- posed $80 million nuclear refinery at Port Granby. Town officiais indicated recently that they will neither support nor oppose t he Eldorado Nuclear Limit- ed project. But the town is represented at the hearings that are being held this week in Newcastle village and were held last week, in Bowmanville. As well -as attending the hearings, the Town of Newcastle will arrange for ifurther study of the refinery plans and possibly a publie meeting to find out the citizens' views on the projeet. "I'mr not prepared as a councillor to say this (the refinery) has some good to it or' is totally bad," Newcastle Mayor Garnet Riekard, said last month. At a special meeting of council late last month, the municipality agreed to engage the IBI Group, a Toronto-based consulting firm to advise them on Eldorado's projeet. In addition, solicitor, John Willms will act on behaîf of the town at the Eldorado hearings. The IBI Group and Mr. Willms recently represented the town in negotiations over the Darlington nuclear power station.

John Willms told the town's, legislation and by-laws committee Îecently that a key concern is the, waste disposal site that would accompany the refinery project. "If the town were concerned about anything, it shotild be the waste disposai site," Mr. Willms stated. -Phil Levine, of the IBI Group, noted that Eldorado Nuclear Limit- ed produced eight inches of docu- ments on the proposed refinery project but only. 15 pages were devoted to the issue of waste disposaL. Mr. Levine noted that there may be problems of road maintenance in connection with the nuclear refinery but he did not'forsee any housing problems in the municipality caused by extra construction workers at the refinery site. Compared to the giant Darlington Hydro project, the Eldorado re- finery, with its 350 workers during the height of construction, is a small operation. "I don't think we're going to have waves of construction workers, " Mr. Levine stated. The town's consultants have also recommended that the town cali a meeting ini the eastern part of Newcastle to try and discover the opinions of the residents Who will be living closest to the Eldorado project. The second annual report of the Ontario Provincial Parks Council was released today by Natural Resources Minister Frank S. Miller. Arnong major topics cover- ed in the report for 1976 are parks, policies, revenue generation, parks and the private sector, visîtor behav- ior problems, and implemen- tation of the Algonquin Park master plan. Before responding to recom- mendations in the report, Mr. Miller said he would like to receive a board sampling of public reaction. The report was signed by Dr. George ?Priddle of the University of Waterloo, chair- man of the 19-person advisory body. Copies of the report are available at 50 cents each from the IMinistry of Natura1 Resources, Queen's Park, Toronto, or from the Ontario Government Bookstore, 880 Bay Street, Toronto.

"I believe we can use this often, difficult tirne to make Canada a better country, a ric es country where English and French 7 speaking Canadians, and others, cao pursue their > n aspirations together." speaking Quebecers, poÉsibly a rnajority, would vote for a new arrangement under which Quebec would be "sov- ereign", that is, in a position to determine its relationship with the rest of Canada, and the rest of the world, and at the same time maintain an association that would pre- serve the benefîts of unity." But Canadians, he noted, will strongly oppose any attempt by separatists to declare Quebec's indepen- dence from the rest of Canada. "We have to provide the assurance that people cao enjoy the benefits of being Canadians in either langu- age,"' he suggested. Stressing the need to ea. mne the possibility of changing the Canadian constitution, hie pointed out that it is one of the most significant answers to the present situation in Que- bec. Foremost iu the lîst of revisions necessary in the constitution, hie recommended that the federal government in the future make their decision at the local level by regional co-ordinators. Each region should also have a more effective voice in national decision-making through either a radically transformed Senate or a new upper House made up of provincial delegates, hie said. "0f course, the constitution would have to specify the authority of such a revised Upper House, but there are several models, for instance, the United States and West Germany." "it seems to me that such an arrangement would reduce the adversary context of federal-provincial relations and make possible fruitful in tergoverum ental1 co- operation." Although indicating that Quebec's relation to the rest of Canada has reached a stage of In Qu ebec RlOelati if Confederation means any- thing to English-speaking Canadians they will have to make concessions to keep the country together, McGill Uni- versity Professor Dale Thompson told the Canadian Club of East Durham last Friday night. Canadians living outside Quebec will have to change their perceptions of the count- ry as a whole if they want to include Quebec, in the Cana- dian framework in the future, the political science'professor said. Mr. Thomipson, a former secretary to the late Primie Minister Louis St. Laurent., was oi) the third niighit of a cross-Canada speaking tour with the C4iadian Club. Calling for changes in the constitution which would al- low French-speaking, Cana- cians to have their chidren taught in their native langu- age, Mvr. '1'Iompson saicitmat English-speaking Canadians must allow Quebec to develop its own culture without dis- owning -them as fellow citi- zens. "Many of us accept that French should be the priority laniguage in-Quebec, and that the right to education in French should be entrenched in the constitution," hie said. "In the next years we are'- uoing to have to try again to build this respect of diversity into a new constitution." "The fact tl4at someone speaks French ýn Quebec is not really going to affect people inBowmanville." Distinct Group A native of western Canada, after receiving a BA from the Univeristy of Aberta in 1948, he went to the Universitv of Paris' Institute d'Etudes Poli- tiques for his Ph.D. He was professor in the University of Montreal from 1960 to 1973 and has been at McGill University since 1975. Dividing Quebe's current political state into two basic positions, hie said that the province is split between the Canada first and Quebec first options. "The Quebec first option holds that French-speaking Canadians have always been a distinct group with a separate identity," he said. "To "self determine" them- selves, they must 'logically have their own state; other- wise they cannot make their own decîsions.", Although advocates of the Quebec first option argue that the "co-existence of two language groups in Canada is an impossi'ble enterprise", Mr. ThompIson miaintained that the two w.eIe compatible. "Lt (Canada first) holds that it is indeed possible for French-speaking Canadians to live and work within Canada under conditions of equality and with equal rewards for their efforts." Misinterpreted Elections Rejecting the present Parti Quebecois government of Rene Levesque, the professor accused the new provincial power of misrepresenting the' interests of its people. "During the campaign, the Parti Quebecois asked for a mandate to provide a "good provincial government" and solve urgent economic, and, social problems, insisting that the matter of separatism was not an issue. "However., once elected, it interpreted the elections as the first major step towards independence." The Quebec government will make the referendumn on independence which was pro- mised during the election their next step toward separation, he predicted. But the import- ant factor is the method that the referendum question will be posed, he added. "Public opinion pools indi- cate clearly that it could not win on the straightforward question: Are you in favor of the independence of Quebec," Mr. Thompson indicated.

This project, fund- ed by the Provincial Govern- ment,, will be separately directed by an Advisory Board and operated by a co-ordina- tor and volunteers. The pro- ject will provide a number of services such as transporta- tion to doctors and assistance with heavy housework, It is anticil3ated that such help will prevent, the incapacities of aging from f orcing incividuals to leave their own home before they want to. One of the first services to be made available will be a drop-in centre for Senior Aduits who may want to rest awhile and visit or share a free cup of tea or coffee whilc out shopping. This centre will be convenient- ly located at 6 King St.E., Bowmanville and will also house the office and informa- tion centre of the Community Care Projeet. Another item, of great con- cern discussed at the recent meetingof the Social Planning Counicil on September l5th, was the matter of recycling solid wastes. To the surprise of members of the Social Planning Council it was re- ported that little is known in this community ab~out the S.T.E.P. program operatingý in Oshawa. For anyone inter- ested in conservîng resources, S.T.E.P. provides a super- vised drop-off at the Oshawa, Shopping Centre in the South-j- East corner of the parking lot. There, on Saturdays from 10:00 arn. to 1:00 p.m. 'you ' may ]eave your, newspapers, ' fiattened tin cans and alumin- , um pop cans for recycling. - The Social Planning Council'0 feit sure that, if this were- bett er .known, m ore -people in the Town of Newcastle would' wat t take advantage of this opportiunity to help preserve, the environment.
