A 33-year-old man who rented a room in the same residence was charged with first degree murder. Police are continuing continuing their investigation and are attempting to locate a second male who was observed leaving the scene with the accused. A resident of Cedar Crest Beach, Bowmanville, since early 1985, Terry Wynn is afraid for his neighbors' neighbors' property. Land is being taken away by Lake On- From Page One Mr. Wynn showed a Statesman reporter reporter some of the back yards of the cottages along Cedar Crest. One yard is quickly disappearing. The line of erosion up and down the back yards facing the lake can be clearly seen. A good storm would surely take more than a back yard, Mr. Wynn said. Some cottage owners without gabions gabions are in danger of losing their ground and maybe their cottages. So, why is the beach disappearing? There are many theories. But, the - Wynns said, they don't have any proof ! that would pinpoint any one cause in ; particular. The Port Darlington Community ; Association, of which the Wynns are • members, has approached the Town of ! Newcastle Council for assistance. But, ; to date, no solution has been forthcom- : ing. . "Now the Town has decided to do a tario. The lake appears to have a ferocious appetite for sand, soil, grass and anything else in its way. New Policy on School Guards WHITBY - The Prince Edward Island ferry is still causing problems in the Whitby harbour. Last week, Environment Canada decided three transformers containing containing PCB's would be allowed to stay on the ferry after after the owner had properly , secured tne vessel ana an inspection by the coast guard determined the boat was in no danger of sinking and contaminating Whitby Whitby harbour. Tne mayor of Whitby, Robert Attersley, has a different opinion. He believes the ferry has a number of problems. The boat was purchased by Art Robinson four years ago with the intent of selling the vessel to the Caribbean as a floating generator. The deal feel through and the ship has been docked at the Whitby harbour ever since. WESLEYVILLE -- Highway 401 east of Newtonville was closed during rush hour last Thursday morning after a tanker truck carrying 20,000 litres of phosphoric phosphoric acid flipped and spilled its load on the highway and in a nearby creek. Ontario Provincial Police report report the eastbound tanker veered into the westbound lanes and overturned. A spokesperson from the Ministry Ministry of the Environment said some of the acid got into a nearby creek and killed some small fish. Lime was put in the creek to neutralize the acid. The acid is used food additives, soap and detergent. in The study. We can't wait that Ion; money spent on a study could sure help us out now," said Mrs. Wynn. St. Marys Cement offered Cedar Crest Beach residents stones for use in protecting the shoreline, but the offer has been caught up in red tape, said Mrs. Wynn. "They offered us what is called 'pit- run' while what we actually need are great big rocks," she explained. "We need something the lake won't move." Stones weighing. 5,000 pounds would do the trick, Mr. Wynn said. The waves blast the gabions that are made with hefty rocks now. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, he said, the blasting of waves moves rocks and causes the rocks to break down. The results are empty gabions which are no longer able to deflect the force of the water. But the effort to protect the shoreline shoreline must continue. Credit System Proposed From Page One Councillor Hannah said that by reducing reducing the amount of waste going to landfill the.amount of tipping fees the municipality pays will also be reduced. The Town of Newcastle's projected disposal budget for 1991 is $2 million, he said, in addition to the estimated $1 million in collection charges. "Eveiybody has the opportunity to win under a system of reducing costs because everyone has the opportunity to reduce," he said. Councillor Hannah believes there are a number of negatives involved with a user pay approach to garbage reduction. "It could create the problem of more roadside dumping, " he said. * "I was trying to come up with an incentive incentive system." Next month, a representative from the Solid Waste Interim Steering Committee Committee (SWISC) will appear at council with a proposal to study a user pay system here. Councillor Hannah said it will just be a study with no costs involved but noted "a lot of good information can come from that." He explained that there has never been a study on the user pay system.

"I hope council will accept the SWISC study because it will give us a lot of information on what is happening happening across the town." Before this or any similar type of plan is implemented here, Councillor Hannah noted, much will depend on what Environment Minister Ruth Grier Grier does concerning landfill in province. "The reason for looking at this is increased increased tipping fees," he said. The councillor added that what the municipality does to deal with the increased increased fees will likely depend on what the public waste authority, a body being created by the Environment Environment Minister to deal with garbage in the province, does with the fees. Councillor Hannah doesn't expect any word about the authority for the next couple of months. Read All About It!
