The Task Force embarked on a plan seeking a community (host community) that was prepared to accept the low level nuclear waste that is stored in the three local lakefront communities. As the Task Forcesought a host community they also set up three Community Liaison Groups to delve into safe means of the waste from the three communities. It has been a long fourteen years for the Siting Committee and it could well be another six months before, it is known if a host community is ready-to accept the waste. A number of possible -host communities have backed out of being, a recipient of the waste with the exception of Deep River in Northemn Ontario. The day of decision is nearing on the position to be taken by Deep River, whether or whether flot to accept the waste. The decision corne following a referendum to be held in Deep River in March 1995. There is a growing opposition to the waste going north coming from the municipalities adjacent to or close to Deep River. Some are holding their own referendum while two will take part in the Deep River Vote. Members of the Port Hope committee are askinig for a second time that Port Hope ask consideration of the town becoming a host community., Although Port Hope did agree to be considered a host community their conditions for such a move could flot be met by the federal governiment. Handcrafted folk art feeders invite, birds to by Helen MacDonald It came as no surprise that visitors, travelling the Great Ganaraska ' Countryside Adventure flocked to Red Wind Faim near Kendal to see Kristin McCreas folk art bird feeders and houses. After ail, word travels best hy mouth, and after making the first feeder nearly 8 years, McCrea's talent has been discussed at more than a few dinner tables. What is now a business began as a practical desire to re-use scraps of wood left over fromn the construction of a home at Garden Hill. After some experimentation, and tapping into an interest in backyaid birdwatching, McCrea began to construct ber first feeder. During the past several yeais, McCrea has been commissioned to design and construct numerous feeders which begin as a reflection of a private home, barn or other building. Construction of a feeder evolves to be McCrea's unique interpretation of the original structure. "They are a fantasy design restricted only by the materials I choose and the need to cons truct themn as feeders with remnovable Second Annual Kite Festival ý-Thc second annual, kite festival will be held September 10 by Big Brothers of Claiington at Courtice Secondary School, 1717 Nash Rd. from 1 to 3 p.m. Children can take part in a kite contest and kite race; ail kites must be homemade.

For example, McCrea finds some people want a birdfeeder constructed as the classic white farmhouse, but she will add a splash of colour to break the monotony of white upon winter's white. McCrea is most inspired by the vemacular architecture in the surrounding area finding less inspiration in contemporary structures. "I also want to do a boathouse and some train stations, which I think would be great fun", stated McCrea as she contemplates' other challenges for her creative talents. McCrea has recently expanded her craft to the construction of birdhouses as she prepares for the upcoming Christmnas season. "People like to give them as Christmnas gifts, birthday gifts and as house-warming gifts,' stated McCrea whose prices range from $45.00 up. For more information, contact Kristin McCrea at 983-9339.
