2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 13, 1991 Orano '14ee k/y Times $ýýçcnd Cýàse Mai Regitafioki Nombe t308 Pubilhed Every Wtdnerday at the Office of PLb-tia~ 5310Q Main Street, Orono, Onitario LOB 1 MO Telephone 416-983-5ý301 Roy C. Forrester, Owner-Editor Su bscription $14.0Q.per annum Let's have a study Recently in spealing to Bull Carman, a Ward Three trustee on the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education, the issue of busing came up at which he said at a meeting last week the trustees had received a delegation from the Waverley area in Bowmanville. The group were making a point to retain busing of students from that particular area to the school in the central area of theTown. The board had most recently ruled the closing out of busing from the area along with a similar area in Courtice and a furiber one in Port Hope. Ail three have been somnewhat of an ongoing issue for years. -The decision was made following a study on busing iail of the three areas and it was on this study that the trustees had based their decision. What happened last week the board is stiil to axe the bus to the Waverley area but they have committed themselves to another study. We seemn to have an affection for studies in this country and it may be so all-across the hemnisphere. The Town of Newcastle a week ago received a delegation from, the Solid Waste Interim Steering Committee of which the Region of Durham is a member. The committee is desirous of undertaking a study in the Town relating to a proposed Waste Diversion Incentive scheme. Tlhere is no cost to the Town but someone somewhere wil be paying the cost. While listening to the presentation it appeared that there was littie known about waste diversion but that Seattle had the best scheme yet to be placed in operation. What was the intent in Newcastle was not known. What are the options? Are they most complicated and flot easily ruled out if problemn would resuIt. Where, one might ask does common sense enter into such a plan and really is it that hard to find. Another feature of our studies they altake at least ayearto comiplete. Likely to justify the cost and who really knows how long it takes back at the office. No doubt we wil carry on with our affection for studies. The editorl's notes In a recent report it was noted that Vermont has rejected the purchase of hydro fromn Quebec due to the fact that il causes great environmental damage i northern quebec. It was a matter of $6 billion over 22 years. Congratulation and would that more would think tbis way. Included i our scraps of paper was a story on the eardi wormn moving into the kitchen. It seems this was a matter for discussion at the recent Orono Town Hall board meeting. It was none other than Bemnie Martin introducing the subject and pointing to the fact he had themn working in his kitchen. They are called Kitchen Komposters according to the news story. Oderless, noiseless, energetic and their by-product is even better than compost material or cattle manure. If you want the full low-down perhaps a cail to Bemnie wiil do thç trick. Happenings..
