The economic impact of a Metro site was, reviewed by William Clipperton, a property property appraiser. He stated that a dump site would not only reduce property values but actually discourage industry industry from locating in the town. "I have yet to go by a dump site on a windy day when the sky is not full of bits of paper and flotsam and jetsam. Larry Hannah, president of the Courtice and Area Citizens' Citizens' Association, warned Metro Toronto that "it has got to change the way it does business. "The people will no longer tolerate this kind of encroachment in this community." community." ;Those . in attendance heard a first-hand account of what it's like to live near a large dump site from Allan Gardiner, a cash crop farmer'in farmer'in Richmond Township, near Kingston. ,He spoke of neighbouring properties being plagued by -i j ulls.

He described described how real estate values values on a 100 acre farm have declined by an estimated $20,000 and pointed out that dump sites use up agricultural agricultural land -- a commodity which is in short supply. -But he concluded that efforts efforts related to the recycling oftrash are the answer to the overwhelming garbage crisis crisis which faces many large municipalities. It's no longer possible to imagine that garbage garbage goes no further than the can under the kitchen sink. "Most people have no better better idea of where their garbage garbage goes than where their From Page One food comes from," he said. The guest from Lennox- Addington told the group that he supports the Ministry of Agriculture policy which calls for reducing, re-using, recycling, and recovering. That means, for example, avoiding disposable containers, containers, donating used qlothing to others, recyling papfep and glass and using ;a'compost pile to dispose of garden re- mse.

Susan Elston, a member of the (GOOD) Garbage of Ontario Diminished) Committee, Committee, and moderator of the meeting, reminded the audience audience that recycling efforts of the Durham Region have reduced reduced the residential waste output by 14 per cent already. already. Or, in more graphic terms, that's equal to 43,000 trees, many cubic yards of landfill and many barrels of oil. While all speakers urged the community to do whatever whatever it can to recycle, use biodegradable biodegradable garbage bags and demand more environmentally environmentally friendly packaging on consumer products, much of the emphasis was on halting the proposed Toronto Toronto dump. Mrs. Elston read from a Metro Toronto public works committee report which suggests suggests that Metro be authorized authorized to continue further investigation investigation of the Nl site. (That's the property at the foot of Courtice Rd.) The report report went on to add that in the event that the city cannot secure access to the land to conduct soil tests, it should consider Nl as a possible has the power to ex f __ r the land if the local municipality municipality approves of such a move. And even if local municipalities municipalities are not in agreement, agreement, Metro could apply to the OMB to take over the property.

In the opinion of many at last night's, meeting, there's Rotary International's council on legislation will be reviewing the question of allowing allowing women to join Rotary Rotary when they meet in Sin-, gapore early next year. "Women in Rotary will be only one of many subjects to be discussed," said Duncan Lyall, the Rotary District Governor. Mr.' Lyall was speaking before members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club and their wives at a dinner meeting meeting held Thursday, September September 1, in the Port Darlington Marina Hotel. In his visit to the club, Mr. Lyall talked chiefly about the theme of putting life into Ro- taiv. He discussed the need to complete club projects every six months, recruitment of new members, retention of established members, expansion expansion of-youth activities,- and j the sharing of rRotaiy. actiyj-, •; ties With the community."" 1 ~r*: £*AIthbu|$ he ijblSSliulM was.not.his intention.to de-V bate they ssué of Women 'in Rotary, he did bring the club up to date on the actions being being taken to resolve the issue. issue. "Rotary, as an international international organization, could not be more democratic," he said. He reported that a candidate candidate from each of Rotary's districts will vote at the legislative legislative council. After that, each of the world's Rotary Clubs may object to the council's decision and if more than 10 per cent of the clubs file objections, then the action recommended by the international council will be rejected.

Mr. Lyall also pointed out that there is one other way in which female membership in Rotary would be initiated. Because the club complies with the laws of any countiy in which it operates, Rotary could be obliged to accept women as members if exclusion exclusion of females was deemed to be contrary to the laws against discrimination. "Essentially, this is what happened in all of the United States except in California," said Mr. Lyall. Mr. Lyall added that this issue is being explored with provincial government officials officials to see if a males-only membership requirement complies with existing legislation. legislation.

To date, landowners have consistently rejected Metro's request to conduct soil tests on the land in question. She warned that Metro cause for concern.

Several members of Newcastle's Newcastle's town council in "attendance "attendance assured the group that the town is firmly .and unanimously opposed to the development of a Metro landfill site on the Darlington Darlington lakefront. Councillor Ann Cowman summed up the situation in this way: "I believe the dump will not come to Courtice Ref. but we've got to work very hard to stop it." She also emphasized the' importance of controlling garbage at its source, the households and industries. "We have to stop the manufacture manufacture of this garbage," she said. Mrs. Elston suggested at Tuesday's meeting that since Toronto has to have a new waste disposal site in two yars, any delays in the investigation investigation or approval of the Darlington site will help the cause. And she stressed the importance importance of individuals doing doing their part to care for the environment by recycling, by writing letters to their political political leaders, signing petitions, petitions, and taking any other actions within their power.

One resident felt a row of unfinished cars in front of the building would lower the market value of her property across the street. Another resident claimed he didn't object to old cars but said there was "a time and a place to work on them". Mr. Kiy said he decided against selling gas at the garage garage when the tanks started leaking into his basement shortly after he purchased the business. He estimated that it would cost over $10,000 to replace the three tanks previously in use at the station. The owner said that the station .still offered mechanical mechanical service to local residents, residents, along with car parts and snacks. "I don't want to sell junk or junk parts," said Mr. Kiy. He told the meeting that he intended to continue to clean up the property and that ultimate plans called for no more than five cars at the front of the station for sale at one time. The owner explained that older model cars are his hobby hobby and that he often works in the evening. However, the applicant noted for the councillors' councillors' interest that not one area resident had ever approached approached him about noise or the condition of his property. "I've been here for almost two years," said Mr. Kiy. "I'd like to stay for many years to come," he added. The application has been tabled for two weeks.
