i 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 21,1991 Minor Injuries Reported When Van Flips on Highway 401 Councillor Stapleton is Not Running In Ward III The Town of Newcastle's Ward Three local councillor has announced that he will not seek re-election this fall. Frank . Stapleton has served two terms (six years) as the representative for former former Clarke Township, Newcastle Newcastle Village and Orono. Councillor Stapleton told the Orono Times last week that he is taking a "temporary "temporary leave of absence" and hopes to return to politics sometime in the future. The councillor has been active on many municipal committees and is currently the town councillor responsible responsible for the municipality's community services department. department. A Scarborough man sustained minor injuries after his 1985 Chev van rolled over the médian on Highway 401 just east of Newcastle Village at 11 o'clock Saturday Saturday evening, August 17. According to Ontario Provin cial Police, the man was heading east when he swerved to the left and the van went out of control. The man was treated and released the same day from Memorial Hospital in Bowmanville. Hunger Strike May End Councillor Stapleton, an award-winning auctioneer, says he plans to devote more time to his business over the next few years. From Page One council without a hitch as all councillors voted in favor of asking the federal government to approve Phases Four and Five of the Cooperative Siting Task Force. In.an interview with Durham MP Ross Stevenson, on Monday morning, The Statesman learned that a person selected to chair the task force has not given his or her answer yet. "The position has been offered to someone but that person has not accepted it. We can't make an' announcement yet, but expect it in the next week or two," Mr. Stevenson added. When Mr. Veldhuis learned the cause of the delay in the proceedings, he became more frustrated. "They (the government) could set a date without the knowledge of who is B to chair the committee," said a ■ated John Veldhuis on Tuesday afternoon. "I find this absolutely baftling." Mr. Stevenson admitted he would like to see the next phase of the task force get under way since it was approved in May by the government. "What I want, and what John wants, and what people in the Town of Newcastle want, is for the material to be moved into a permanent storage area," said Mr. Stevenson. " I wouldn't say I don't disagree (with Mr. Veldhuis' methods) but quick action may not come in our favor. Phase Four was planned to be two years in length." Even a two year length for the process is an optimistic estimate, according to Mr. Stevenson. "I want to see faster action on the issue, too. I understand his motives and reason and actions." However, he said, the Prime Minister will not be handling the "This will be handled totally through the Minister-- Jake Epp." Jake Epp is the federal minister in charge of energy, mines and resources. ; _ Mr. Veldhuis' fast which turned into a hunger strike on Sunday is to prove to Prime Minister Mulroney, and Mr. Epp that he is serious. He wants a date set for the relocation or to see major improvements to the containment of the low-level nuclear waste contained at the Port Granby site. "This is a protest against broken promises--we need action now!," Mr. Veldhuis told reporters on Sunday at a press conference at Port Granby. "Mr. Mulroney and his government led all of Mr. Veldhuis to secure an official start-up date for Phase Four. The resolutions passed through of us to believe we would go through five phases of the Siting Process. All T action was stopped in 1990 following the completion of Phase Three. "We have waited long enough! We need action now to get back on track, make up for lost time, and for Mr. Mulroney and his government to live up to its promises. We need action now!" This is his last shot. "I am waiting here for a firm and definite date for the beginning of Phase Four of the siting process. We all need to know the year, month and day--not words like "soon," or "sometime," but a real date! We need action now!" "If Brian cared as much about the Canadian people as much as my supporters and friends do about me, Canada would be better off," Mr. Veldhuis said on Friday. He has been touched by the outpouring of the continous caring, encouragement, support of people within the area, he added. Yesterday (Tuesday) and on Thursday of last week, two men from Cedar Crest showed up with their trailer and offered Mr. Veldhuis the use of the trailer's shower. Also during last week people were dropping off warm water so he can wash and liquids to drink. All of these actions and many more have been recorded in his journal. "I've been writing a journal of all the things happening. I'm keeping track of all the things that have been dropped off." \ The journal, he said, also hWlps keep a running commentary of how he is withstanding, both physically and mentally, the continuous fast. "I've lost a considerable amount of weight but this has made me more determined to see this through. "This has become a real investment for me now and I can't let people down." Many of the people he can't let down, run from the ordinary citizen to the local politician--many of whom have been out to see Mr. Veldhuis. "Mayor Hubbard came out to see me and told me that I had to have more than just water to keep going. When Diane Hamre came out sne also told me the same thing." Mr. Veldhuis' protest is against the Port Granby site which contains uranium waste from the refining operation. The ravines where the material was dumped, are within close proximity to Lake Ontario. The company began putting the low-level nuclear waste at this location in 1954. Early in 1991, an "Opting for Co-Operation Siting Task Force" had completed the third of five phases looking into the problem.
