Bound for Hong Kong by Andrea Adair Five representatives from the Town of Newcastle will be making a trek to Hong Kong soon with the intent of bringing industry back to Newcastle. Mayor Marie Hubbard told The Statesman Monday that there are several several industrial prospects in the east that she wants to see. "We're going to do something to bring industrial development to the municipality," she said. Mayor Hubbard will be making the trip along with Councillor Diane Ham- re, Planning Director Frank Wu, the town's Chief Administrative Officer, Larry Kotseff, and the mayor's execu tive assis tant Maureen Reid. The five will be leaving on June 1 and will return on June 16. Mayor Hubbard said the cost of the trip, which she estimated at $25,000, would come from the town's industrial reserve fund rather than from the current current levies. Mr. Kotseff said the cost includes includes air travel, hotel accommodation and meals. Mayor Hubbard said there was no secrecy regarding the trip. She said she is not happy seeing residential development development booming but no jobs coming to the municipality. The aim of the trip is to bring development development to the area. She stressed that the trip would not be a holiday of any sort by saying that interviews with Hong Kong business interests have been planned for each day they are there. The mayor said that so far she has received positive reactions from people in the municipality regarding this venture. venture. "People are enthusiastic," she said. The trip is in response to an invitation invitation offered to the town by a group of Hong Kong realtors who toured Newcastle Newcastle in April. Cement Workers Ratify After nine weeks of often bitter S icketing, St. Marys Cement workers ave ratified a contract and returned to work, The 86 workers, members of local 222 of the CAW, last Wednesday voted 79 percent in favour of the new contract contract which gives them a 5.1 percent pay increase in each of the next three years. They had rejected an increase of 4.2 percent in early March before walking off the job. The increase translates to a 25 cents per hour boost. Under the agreement, the hourly wage will range from $16.82 to $19.05 this year. Each striker also will receive $500 as retroactive pay. Earlier this month four workers were arrested as they tried to block company-owned cement trucks from entering the plant. Each day, police officers officers cleared a path through the strikers strikers to allow the trucks to enter the plant. This action led to an angry response response from workers who accused the police of siding with St. Marys. Durham Regional Police, however, maintained that they were only upholding upholding the law which states that anyone anyone has the right to go to work without being impeded. At a CAW meeting two weeks ago, members voted to limit the number of off-duty police hired for the union's annual annual summer picnic to as few as legally legally required. CAW spokesman John Sinclair plans to meet with Durham Regional Police Chief Dave Edwards to discuss police methods. "To me they go overboard overboard a bit, and there's no need of that," he said late last week. "I had a good rapport with Chief Jenkins. I don't know Chief Edwards too well, but I'm looking forward to meeting with him." Union officials had planned a massive massive rally at the St. Marys front gates last Thursday if voters, gathered at the Flying Dutchman Hotel, had turned the contract down. They hoped to draw 1,000 General Motors workers to block both the police and the cement cement trucks. With Thursday's vote the rally and further picketing were unnecessary. St. Marys management refused any comment to the press during or after the strike.

Councillor Diane Hamre said MPP Norah Stoner . was "misleading" the public concerning the Laidlaw site which is located north of Newtonville. According to the councillor, the Durham Durham West MPP handed information out at a public meeting in Pickering on May 9 that was incorrect. In a riding newsletter, the MPP said that Durham doesn't have a garbage garbage crisis and that the region could "look toward using Laidlaw" for Durham's Durham's wastes. Councillor Hamre said Mrs. Stoner further wrote that the site could be ready in two years. At the general purpose and administration administration committee meeting in Newcastle Newcastle on Monday, members of the committee decided to have the mayor write to the MPP Stoner with correct information regarding Laidlaw. The meeting, held in Pickering last week, was designed to provide White- vale residents with an opportunity to question officials from the Durham Region Region about the proposal to put a contingency contingency site in their area. Durham Regional council is expected to make a decision on the matter today. Councillor Hamre said she takes exception exception to the member of parliament suggesting the use of Laidlaw after knowing the environmental concerns with the site. "I take serious exception to her saying saying "It's your quick and easy solution and could be available in two years," Councillor Hamre said. "A full EAA takes five years," she added, in reference to procedures taking taking place under the Environmental Assessment Assessment Act. She added that the residents of Pickering are worried about a landfill site in their municipality and said Mrs. Stoner is "utilizing that fear." Mayor Marie Hubbard said garbage is an issue that "is not going to go away." The mayor said her personal opinion opinion was that there would be a. landfill site at either Brock South in Pickering or the PI site in Whitevale. said that his company "has a little more control" over garbage trucks coming to the site than gravel companies companies nave over their drivers. He pledged to take action if garbage trucks are reported to be deviating from the official Laidlaw route. At present, up to 55 trucks use the site each day. The current Laidlaw facility is near- >,jiégfthe Jnd of its life, and the compa- ,>my,,ih a/separate application, has petitioned petitioned the MOE to .allow ('infilling" at t^iat site.vThe infilling is contingent on the rerouting of two gas pipelines. One of several disagreements between between the company and local residents is whether that application should be treated as a separate entity. Helen MacDonald, of the Port Granby - Newcastle Newcastle Environment Committee said "we consider both applications to be one." However, Laidlaw is treating both as distinct plans and Mr. Pullen stated, stated, "we don't want to operate both sites at the same time." Other protestors continued to com- Î )lain that the environment is at risk rom the current site and will only be jeopardized further by a large expansion. expansion. David Scott reiterated his concern concern that "they don't even know what is underneath there (current landfill)." He also stated that Laidlaw consul tants and officials are not informed about the site. "A consultant at the last open house said that the noise from equipment won't be any worse than the railway that runs by there. Well, it hasn't run there for at least 60 years. That's the kind of thing we're getting from them," he said. Tuesday's meeting was the final open house sponsored by Laidlaw. The public will have 30 days to examine the government's environmental assessment assessment of the Laidlaw plans F ire Marsh all Concludes Blaze is Work of Arsonist Investigators have determined that the fire at the Brookdale Treeland Nursery last month was definitely arson. arson.
