The Cobourg Concert Band which was organized in 1921 is to-day a band of some renown throughout the music world. But it was not until 1970 that the current popularity of the band began to surge ahead with the appointment of Mr. White as Bandmaster.- Today the band is well known across the province and plays at numerous prestigious events including the Heritage Tattoo in Kingston this yearalong with being the premier band at the Varsity Stadium arena in Toronto in a big salute to the legion. The band is booked to play at Niagara Falls in 1994 for the Police Tattoo. t has been reported that the band plays some 30 to, 40 engagements in any given year at the present time. 0 f these performances- the band plays a weekly program at Victoria Park in Cobourg on Tuesday evenings. A few local musicians from the Orono area have been playing with the band of recent years.

This is a legitimate question and one that deservès an answer. We have checked the availabie information and found that Golder Associates did a study of that very same question. Thecy looked at ail the possibilities, looked at the methods of containing it and came up with the following answer. They came to a conclusion that the material can be contained on site by spending sixtee.- million dollars. For sixteen million dollars, the material can be kept in the place it is now in Port Granby, somewhere between 35 and 50 years. After that there is no guarantee and a further sîxteen million or more dollars would have to bc spent for an additional 35 to 50 years. Since the material bas to bc looked after for 10,000 yecars, that would mean if there is no increase in cost it would mean 2,000 times $16,000,000.00 or $32,000,000.00 -The reader will probably recognize that is an astronomical figure and one that we cannot recommend at this tîme. That is only in today's dollars, given an inflationiary figure added into that you can see the figure becomes exceptionally large. We therefore cannot keep it in its present place and we cannot ethically ask future generations te assume the costs for looking after this material, therefore the material has to be moved. The question then of course arises, where to and how? The where to is part of our process, we now have two communities that are looking very seriousiy into taking the material as a potential host community and we have a few other communities who are Crying to make up their minds as to whedher they want te become host communities or -not. We are therefore optimistic that a site will be found, that the .necessary environmiental assessment will be completed, the engineering studies done and that we in fact have a new place for the materiai. The method of digging up is of course of great concern and of great interest to the Clarington Community Liaison Group and they have therefore set up a subcommittee to investigate this. This is the Dig and Move Committee or RAP as it is called and it will look, over the next twelve months, at how this can be done, efficiently, effectively and safely. If you wish to participate in these discussions, just come out te oneý of our meetings, cail our office to find out more information or read the reports that we will be getting te- examine the methods. Our office number still is 987- 7786 and you are invited to corne to ail of our meetings, ail of our meetings are open.
