The Chairman made a full report of the activities of the first year and was reinstated as Chairman for an additional two years by the Members of the Clarington Community Liaison Group. The Chairmnan stated much, has been accomplished, much more needs te be done, but some interesting and exciting parts of the program are now compieted. The first year end report is available te anyene who wishes te pick up a cepy from the office. We also have available, copies of the Public Needs Assessment which is a survey of the cencerns and questions of sixty of the residents of the Municipality of Claringten that were intervîewed by a trained group of interviewers. This information wiil ge a long way in helping us reach better communication methods and it told us that you, the readers, appreciate these periodic updates that we place in the newspaper. We will continue te de so, we will continue te keep you informed. We are working on two additional reports which shouid be available seon. One is a report indicating why the material cannet stay in its present condition in Port Granby. A second report is caled Clean-up Criteria which establîshes both numbers for background, the desired numbers for dlean-up and the volume of material that needs te be remeved. Althoughwe have a rnuch better idea of what is in the Port Granby Waste Management Site, we have- discovered that we need additional material in seiected areas. Thcrc were some surprises, the materials, arsenic espccially, has moved, much further down than first anticipated. We are aiso very pieased te be able te confirm that the materiai- did net move iateraliy off site. The materiai is ail confined te the site and did net move east, west or north of the presenit site. We aise, of course realize that some of it did move seuth, which is th e prevailing direction of the water flow and this water flow has carrieci with it certain of the. contaminants and we had already seen evidence of this through visual inspections. All of these reports are available upon request and some of you readers have in-fact asked for and have received some of these specîfic reports. They are al free ofcharge, we simpiy need te know which one you want and. how many copies you wouid iike. We do net wish te send eut al of the reports te every citizen in the Municipality of Clarington because for some people that would bc just junk mail and you have indicated te us that is net what you want. But for the people who are concerned or înteres ted in the precess, the reports are available just for the asking. We are now ready to move ahead with the Remedial Action Plan, aise know as the "Dig Up and Move Plan". in this work which sheuld take a year, we will look at all the engineering methods available te us and find eut the answers te the questions that have been plaguîng se many of you. Can the material be safely removed off site, without contaminating the neighbourhoed? We are confident that answers will be availabie in the affirmative, but we want te investigate this whole process in much more detail. To do this, a second subcommittee will be set up te look at these questions and we wil keep you informed as te our progress.

Book' Review from Crystal Pages THE HAUNTED SISTERS - This is historical fiction, no fewer than twenty-two books being listed in -the b ibli ographiy, and one has the feeling, upon reading it, that events actually did occur in close approximation te the text. A very interesting topic, the time of William and Mary, in which the young princess, forced te marry a very disagreeable but important warrior in Holland, came te love and honour this man. Home they came te England, usurping her father's throne, anid the story gees on fromthere. Mary and her sister Anne were at loggerheads for most of their lives, and neither seemed able te produce a child who couid sustain life for very long. The court intriguers were very powerful . But still,' one cari see that the British system of.justice honed its values and buiit many of its considerable strengths from living through such times as these.
