2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 21,1988 Drastic Action by Region From Page One the citizens in the community was high and they can't put up with the garbage issue any longer. Although the motion will go to the Region today to cease negotiations with Metro, Durham will still face a crisis when Brock West dump closes. That site is located in Durham but is used jointly by Metro and the Durham Region. Art Leitch, Operations Manager for the Region, said Durham may insist insist Metro leave Brock six months earlier than scheduled. An early exit on their part would allow Durham five more years of use at that site, enough time Mr. Leitch said to initiate long term waste strategies. strategies. Part of that strategy is to reduce waste by 25 percent by 1993. He said Durham has a firm commitment commitment to recycling but they can't recycle everything. "Somewhere in Durham there will be a landfill site," he said, adding that it's part of the long term plan. Leaving Brock West will be done at the option of Metro Toronto, Mr. Herrema said. Councillor Ann Cowman, who was present at the federal announcement in Toronto on Thursday, said she felt like a mouse among a herd of elephants elephants in Scarborough. She said she was overwhelmed by the cheering response response of the crowd there. She told The Statesman she could understand wanting greenbelts around Metro and she has no difficulty difficulty saving the Rouge, but, "not at Newcastle's Newcastle's expense; She also said she intended to put an amendment to the motion that would be heard at the Region today. Her amendment will ask the Region to oppose oppose Metro efforts to expropriate and/ or use any site here. Not Satisfied with Study From Page One less than what the Darlington Generating Generating Station costs. The $3 million is just for start up- costs, buying the computer software and setting up the data base. It wouldn't be that expensive maintaining maintaining it, she added. They also would like to see experts on the effects of low level radiation assist with the investigation, suggesting suggesting the advice of Dr. Bertell. "We respect respect her opinion and we hope you would too," she adds. Gail Cockburn, also a member of DNA, said: "You just can't assess the health in the community (from this study) because there isn't enough information information available." Another concern was the absence of information on the number of abortions abortions induced because of fetus abnormalities. abnormalities. Dr. Jean Gray, Medical Officer of Health for the Durham Region, compiled compiled the report from information supplied supplied by the provincial Ministry of Health. She said information is kept on the number of abortions being done but the reasons why they are occurring occurring aren't recorded. Councillor Hamre, saying she wants to know and understand effects of nuclear energy, said: "It would be a worthwhile investment on the part of Hydro and the Ontario government to conduct a decent baseline study." She called the current document an "insult." "insult." Mayor John Winters said the study was a "starting point" although he was concerned with the cancer statistics statistics of neighbouring Northumberland County. (An increase in cancer was noted in Northumberland among males in some instances from 1974- 1986.) "I'd like to see more investigating investigating into what is going on there," he said. Mayor Winters also suggested the study be broken down further to obtain a clearer picture of Newcastle and he asked that the Province and the Region Region be advised that further information information and a "more professional document" document" is needed. Jeff Brackett, a member of DNA, told The Statesman that he'd "like to see the committee invite Dr. Bertell to the next meeting. She's done more work in this area than probably anyone anyone else in Canada," he said. The committee referred the report to hydro and municipal staff for further further study.
