Imes, Wednesday, November 17~ 1003 ) Sweet victory at the Stapletonfarm Orono Major Plumbing complete busy week With the fields of the Gord Milis, Mayor Diane Harare, news that the faily farm was not Stapleton farm hin the background, and Regional Counillor Ann on the new short list of preferred the Stapleton family, with MPP Dreslinski, smile after hearing the dump sites. UWA places dump in Pickering (Continued from page 1) long list of prcterrcd sites in June of 1992. The Stapletons unwittingly were placcd on the short list of preferred sites in November, 1992. Friday morning. the family, Uic community, and Uic Municipality werc happy 10 realize the battle had fmnally drawn 10 a close. The reason that the site even cnded up on Uic short list at ail is still a mystery toi most. Marvin Stapîcton speculates that Uic site was merely added 10 Uic list as a scapegoat. Gord Mils figures Uiat Uic si te-could have been added te "provide a balance". Whatever Uic reason, Uic family and the surrounding community were flot ahout 10 sit back quietly and accept Uis decision. A planncd protest was held in the autumn of 1992, after the introduction of the long list of sites. It was held on the 401 overpass in Newtonville. Many residents came to the protest 10 show Uieir anger at Uic decision. ht was this protest that Mr. Milîs found to be the most traumatic part of the ordeal. Mayor Diane Hamre asserts that through it ail the community ".carried their heads better" than any of the other concerned communities, citing Pickering as an example, where il was at times necessary 10 have police escorts. 1"We have been through as many fights but we have neyer resorted 10 any type of violent actions, adds Hamre. 'Me fight coninued last winter with a planncd meeting between the community and its many concerned groups and citizens, and the IWA." "hat night at Town Hall was a night welI spent", says Marvin Stapicton, who was responsible for a very moving speech to Walter Pitman, hcad of the IWA. "Wc got a lot back from Mr. Pitiman that night, and hie seemed like a straightforward guy', he fin ishes. ht is possible that the respectable bchaviour of the community and the meeting at Town Hall were turning points. The important part is that the site was not chosen. "This better end it all", says Glenn Stapleton. "If it isnt good enough for the government, it shouldn't bc good cnough for anyone', he adds. Gord Mils, bearer of Uic good news, adds "il neyer made sense 10 put il here anyways." Mayor Hamre admits Uiat she is "very happy for Uic Stapletons and Uic Municipality, but feels badly for Pickering". "We say Uiat we have put up with enough garbage, but s0 have they," says Mavc'r Hamre. Bud Lodge, of Uic IWA, was te come 10 the Stapleton Farm on Thursday 10 Itel UicStapletons of the decision. He failed t0 materialize by Friday. It was with pleasure that Mr. Milîs dclivered Uic good ncws to Glenn Stapleton and his assembled family. The simple message was, "This is Uie end of il. Youcan get on with your lives and cnjoy your retirement". The family wishes 10 sincerely thank the Commitîce of Clarke Constituents for their time, talent and efforts. "For the IWA, this was a full-time job. For the committce it was volunteering hours after a day of work", says Marvin. Adds his wife Cathy, %they have given a lot of their time and talent." Mayor Hamre adds that "the winning of Uis fight is due 10 the dedication of the Committce of Clarke Constituents." She also feels that Mr. Gord Mills deserves a great deal of credit, as well, sayingthat he is the first MPP in Durham East to really help out." With the end of the batlle the family is ready to resumne everyday life. They are finally able to rest assured that the home,, farim and family traditions are secure. Currently, there are three families of Stapletons living on Uic lands. What would have happened had the Stapleton farm been chosen as Uic preferred dumpsitc? "The family likcly would have broken up and gone their separate ways, says Marvin. "It's as grandfathcr always said", thinks Marvin, "the right Uing wiil always prevail." Orono, OMHA novice hockey team started a busy week Monday night in Ops for their firstmeeting of the season. with that tcam.
