Little Opposition to Landfill by Carolyn Hepburn Unless town councillors and residents residents both make a stronger stand, the proposed expansion to the landfill site north of Newtonville could pass without much trouble, according to Councillor Diane Hamre. "They (regional councillors) think Pm the only one opposed," she said at the council meeting on Monday, November 9. "They think you want this landfill," she added. Councillor Hamre was referring to her impressions from fellow regional councillors at a two-day study seminar seminar held in Peterborough last week. "I found the seminar interesting but alarming," she told town councillors. councillors. She explained that the biggest support support for the proposed landfill expansion expansion by Laidlaw Waste Systems Ltd. is coming from Ajax and Pickering, who are battling the proposed opening opening of the Brock South site in Ajax. Councillor Hamre warned that the expansion in Newtonville wouldn't just serve the region of Durham, but a much larger area, including Toronto Toronto and municipalities east of the Town of Newcastle. In a letter from Don Pirie, District Officer for the Ministry of the Environment, Environment, to Newcastle Mayor John Winters, it was confirmed that the ap- Major Grant Will Assist Courtice School Project by Carolyn Hepburn The Courtice West Public School expansion project will receive a $150,000 grant from the Hydro Impact i Fund once an agreement for joint use between the Board of Education and the Town of Newcastle is reached. The $2.3 million expansion, which includes a community centre, gymnasium, gymnasium, six classrooms, a kitchen and administration facilities, is already under way and scheduled for completion completion in March 1988. At the monthly Hydro Liaison Committee Committee meeting on Monday, November November 9, town councillors and hydro personnel agreed that an agreement for joint use between the Town of Newcastle and the Board of Education Education should be reached before the grant is paid. "We want the town's people to be able to use it (the community centre)," said Councillor Frank Stapleton. Larry Kotseff, the town's chief administrative administrative officer, said that while the Board of Education does have a policy concerning joint use projects with communities, "some work still has to be done in this area." Part of the $150,000 grant is being used for the town's community services services requirements for the expansion. expansion. The department will receive $27,931 towards: a paved walkway around the school; grading, seeding and fertilizer for the soccer field; and 50 folding tables for use with the community community centre. . The remaining $122,069 of the grant will go to the Board of Education which has designed the school's gymnasium, gymnasium, washrooms, foyer, and kitchen for use by the community as well as the school. It is hoped that the expansion to the school will partly answer a need in the Courtice area for a central community community centre. The Bowmanville Arena will be shut down for at least two weeks in order to replace the ice chilling unit» that broke down on Saturday, November November 7. Joe Caruana, Acting Director of Community Services, says that every attempt is being made to accommodate accommodate the youth teams and that ice time is being sought elsewhere in the Town of Newcastle until a new unit can be installed. A new chilling unit, at an approximate approximate cost of $20,000, has been ordered ordered from Cimco Ice, Toronto, and is expected to put the public back on their skates by November 28 at the latest, according to Mr. Caruana. The costs of labour, supplies and materials materials is approximately $12,000. During the in-camera portion of the council meeting on Monday, November November 9, councillors discussed the options options available for replacing the unit. Later that day, a meetingofthe Arena Project Team was held to ensure that the chilling machine on order was the type of machine specified in the tender for the new arena. Because a compatible unit will be installed in the present Bowmanville Arena, it can be transferred to the new arena at such time as it is completed. completed. A large part of the cost of materials involves the charge of the ammonia into the unit. The ammonia extracts the heat from the tubes attached to the arena floor, thereby keeping the temperature down and helping to make ice. When it is time to move the chilling unit to the new arena, the ammonia can be extracted and then recharged into the system at the new location. The present chiller was installed in the Bowmanville Arena in 1952 and had a working lifespan of approximately approximately 25 years. Last Saturday's break-down is the first time anything has gone wrong with the chilling unit. 623-3303 K.:. ft.

The letter further states that there are no conditions limiting the geographical geographical service area in the Provisional Provisional Certificate of Approval for the expansion. "We have had the Darlington landfill landfill site for its lifetime, we have a private private site in Newtonville, we have the Darlington Nuclear Station and the Port Granby dump," she said. "Do we see ourselves as the dump of Ontario?" Councillor Hamre asked. Councillor Frank Stapleton is also concerned about the "mega, mega project." "There is something wrong with the whole landfill philosophy," he said, noting thatThe expansion could meiin 700 trucks a day travelling through the Town of Newcastle. In discussing Durham Region's struggle with the question of landfill and garbage disposal, Councillor Ann Cowman compared the situation with that of Halton Region (Burlington (Burlington and Oakville) in Ontario. She explained how that area began to look for a site in 1981 and has. taken five years to compile all the information. information. The costs of the environmental hearings which started in May 1987 are $250,000 and expected to last until next June. "If they find a site it will cost $50 million to develop," she said. "Down the line every single person who puts out garbage will have to pay," she added. Councillor Hamre questioned why the Town of Newcastle should have to provide the solution to a problem that has been left to the last minute. "Take a more aggressive stand or we're going to wake up one morning and it (the expanded landfill site) is going to be here," she said. First Shipment of Uranium Arrives At Darlington by Carolyn Hepburn Ontario Hydro has taken one more step in the long journey towards producing producing electricity at the Darlington Generating Station near Bowmanville. Bowmanville. After a slight delay, the first shipment shipment of 720 uranium fuel bundles was unloaded at the site on Thursday, November November 5. The 50 pound bundles, at an approximate approximate cost of $6,000 each, were manufactured at the Westinghouse plant in Port Hope and made the trip to Bowmanville in a tractor-trailer. Shipments from both Westinghouse in Port Hope and Canadian General Electric in Peterborough are expected expected to continue every two weeks until Christmas, according to Donna Prout, assistant community relations officer for Ontario Hydro. The uranium is in the form of a pellet pellet (roughly the size of a cork). There are 29 pellets in each fuel "pencil", and 37 pencils are bound together to make one fuel bundle with the capacity capacity to supply electricity to one home for 75 years.

POLITICS -- At the moment this is being written, there's the Durham East Liberal meeting being held in Columbus because it's now part of the revised Durham East constituency. But, it's still quite a distance distance from our headquarters so we'll have to skip this one, especially on a Tuesday when we are finishing finishing up this week's papers. Tomorrow, Thursday, the Bowmanville Progressive Conservatives are planning their annual meeting for 8 p.m. at the Baseline Baseline Community Centre. And, we also notice an advertisement advertisement in this newspaper about another political political meeting on Thursday, Dec. 3rd. It is planned for the Odd Fellows Hall in Brooklin by the Durham East Progressive Conservatives. These riding boundary changes are certainly making life difficult for old- timers. PARADE TIME -- It's only another week to go before before Santa and his reindeer plus all the great floats, clowns and the rest will be parading Saturday, Saturday, November 81st through the town. Up until Tuesday, we had come to the conclusion that the warm weather was going to stay around until Christmas, then warm up, but tonight, winter doesn't seem too far off. When Tyrone, Black- stock and other points north of here received several several inches of snow on Friday, it's time to get out the woo lies and the fur hats or pack up for the sunny sunny south. ARENA MEETING MONDAY -- It seems the final recommendations recommendations for the new arena financing and building plans will be decided at a General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting on Monday, November 16th at 9:30 a.m. So far, the plans have been bouncing back and forth for 18 months between between the various groups concerned, with little progress to show for it. Finally, it appears there may be some common ground and Monday's meeting should be interesting. Be sure to attend to let your feelings be known. TEMPORARY HOME -- It was a dirty night Sunday, but that didn't deter a good sized crowd from attending attending the Junior C hockey game which had been forced to relocate from Bowmanville Arena to the Darlington Sports Centre at Hampton. The Goodyear Goodyear Eagle management went to work quickly when they learned that trouble with the machinery at Bowmanville would make it impossible to play here. There was good co-operation from CKAR radio in Oshawa and the phones were also kept busy. Reports Reports indicate that it probably will be at least two weeks until repairs are complete. So, head for Darlington Darlington this Sunday at 7:30 to see the Eagles play Lakefield Chiefs. GOOD EFFORT -- We're not sure just who should be congratulated for the restoration of most of the area around the cenotaph for Saturday's Remembrance Remembrance Service, but someone did a great job. Because Because we wore heavy soled galoshes and moved away from the grassy area for pictures we know what it would have been like if considerable work hadn't been done. We're still cleaning off mud. While we're at it, somebody made an error in the program. The new Trinity minister's name and the Ministerial representative is the Rev. Frank Lockhart, Lockhart, NOT Fred. See the front of section two for pictures of the area services. There were two more this morning at Newcastle and Newtonville. OUR NAMESAKES -- Residents and friends of Enniskillen Enniskillen must have perked up their ears earlier this week when the newscasts mentioned that a tragedy had occurred In à place by the same name but In ! Northern Ireland. We've heard tales of problems of ! a similar nature much earlier In our history In the Cavan area, but fortunately Enniskillen on the Hill In j the old Darlington township has never in our time i experienced such violence. Maybe some Brother- | hood should be exported overseas from the upcoming upcoming dinner here on November 17th. So far, our animosities animosities and religious biases have remained well I under control around here. Long Time Blood Donors Receive Awards of Merit The Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic held at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Lions Centre last week was an opportunity to honor two blood donors who have each contributed contributed 75 units to the Red Cross to date.
