Summertime Prayer Blessed God, in the summertime abundance of field and garden we give you our praise and thanksgiving. In the cycles of planting, growth and harvest, you care for your children. May we also, following your example, reach out from our fullness to share what we have, that all may be fed, in body, mind and spirit. Dear Editor: There has been some concern that the farmers and residents around the sites chosen by the Interim Waste Authority Authority as the landfill site for Durham Region have been unnecessarily upset. IWA tells us that they are doing everything as fair as can be and to trust them and their search procedure. I'd like to explain why we have our backs up and find it hard to have faith in them. 1) Both the Laidlaw site and the Morgan's Road site near Lake Ontario were on the list four years ago when Metro Toronto was searching for their dump site. Is this just a coincidence? I don't know but it makes me very nervous nervous and mad. Why do we have to go through this all again. 2) The Morgan's Road site should have been screened out in step 1 & 2 as the site is good agricultural land and also contains a market garden. It was over-looked because IWA was using 1986 statistics to get their information information and at that time there was not one operating, it was just starting. 3) IWA had good intentions at the beginning by screening out all prime agricultural land. Prime agricultural land is classified by the soil. I'm not a farmer myself but I think the success of a farm has a lot to do with the climate as well. I think one of the criteria should be good agricultural agricultural land that is situated in an area benefitting from a micro climate. Durham Durham Region is very large and contains a lot of good farmland, but there is very little of it left along the lake- shore. Lake Ontario has a moderating effect on the weather and therefore allows allows for less frost damage, and also cool summer evenings. This type of climate is very favourable to the market market garden. IWA is allowing us to add to their screening criteria for step 5 and I am going to ask them to screen out all agricultural land along the lakeshore because of its micro climate. climate. 3) Urban shadow is another sore spot. They feel that because an agricultural agricultural area has some owners on it, that do not farm it themselves but rent it out, has not got a good future in farming. There are a lot of farmers that have to rent land because they cannot afford to buy all the land they need to farm profitably. The Region has the lakeshore east of Newcastle termed permanent agricultural. If IWA located their dump at the Morgan's Morgan's road site the agricultural future of this area would definitely be shortened. shortened. IWA should reword the urban shadow theory to exclude areas of farm land that are in a unique agricul; tural area and especially when they have unique climatic conditions. *' 4) Another sore spot is that IWA.is not telling the public the whole truth. If you ask them they will tell you that the dump will only be used for Durham Durham Region garbage and cannot be expanded, end of story. If you ask them about bill #143 they brush it off as nothing to worry about. If you read the bill yourself it states that the dump will PRIMARILY be used for Dur ? ham's garbage. In case of an emergency emergency or difficulty they can accept garbage from other regions. It gets worse, as they describe in detail what they can do in an emergency it states that they can also expand the dump site. IWA tells you one thing, but it looks like the province has other i(je ; as. ; Right now, I will try to work with the IWA by asking for the above changes to their criteria for screening out areas. Hopefully, they are as hon.; Durable as they are trying to portray themselves to be and will consider the suggestions for the sake of common sense if nothing else.
