Thé Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 8,1978 il Editors:Hazel and Jae On Saturday, Hazel was among the forty who enjoyed the Newcastle Horticultural bus trip to the Spring Flower and Garden Show presented by the Garden Club of Toronto in the Automotive Building. Just inside the entrance was a flower clock surrounded by beautiful tulips, narcissus, azalea, rhododendrans, lilacs, crocuses, daffodils, etc. Farther on were beautiful flower arrangements and gardens and even a woods where wild flowers grew. Arts and crafts in keeping with the flowers and gardens were also of interest. As it was the first visit for me to the Flower Show, it was a real treat and boarding the buses to return home was entertaining. To complete the Crago's story of Saturday, I feel is necessary now. When Hazel arrived home about 5:35 p.m., Jack had everything underway to serve 6 o'clock dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Crago and Kevin. About seven o'clock after our lights had flickered several times, our home was immersed in total darkness. How much we rely on electricity is not realized until such an emergency arises! A call to Mr. Everett Jenkins, manager of our PUC and in half an hour the problem is repaired and we are able to relive our summer holiday in Switzerland via slides. On behalf of the folk who were in this dilemma Saturday night, we express our gratitude to Mr. Everett Jenkins.

Mr. Veldhuis added that once the land is covered with concrete and buildings, it is gone forever. John Veldhuis said that it was SEAP's role to present the public's point of view at the Environmental Assess- ment Hearings held in Bow- manville and Newcastle Village during the last six months. SEAP also|played a role in helping the panel raise the proper questions -the Port Granby resident stated. Commenting on a suggestion from Durham- Northumberland MP, Allan Lawrence, Mr. Veldhuis indicated that he d.oes not believe it possible to'separate the proposed refinery from the proposed waste storàge area. Mr. Veldhuis stated that in his opinion, the dump and refinery go hand in hand. "You cannot have a sawmill without sawdust," Mr. Veldhuis explained. Allan Lawrence said re- cently that while the waste storage site should be located somnewhere other than Port Granby, the $80 to $100 million project should be built there.

Mr. Veldhuis said he believed the decision was based on technical evidence presented at the hearings plus the views and concerns expressed by local residents. In an interview with the Statesman last week, Mr. Veldhuis said that everyone is invited to SEAP's victory celebration which will be held Wednesday evening, March 15. The meeting coincides with the annual meeting of the citizens group which was formed close to two years ago after Eldorado Nuclear Limited indicated that it was interested in locating a nuclear refinery at Port Granby. Mr. Veldhuis said that SEAP knew two years ago that the land owned by Eldorado southeast of New- tonville was the wrong location for a waste storage area and refinery. He said the site is unique because it is one of the best food-producing spots in
