Richards Fifteen new jobs will be created if Detox Environmental Ltd. receives receives permission to process industrial industrial waste at its Bennett Rd. plant. The payroll would expand to $1.5 million per year and would create about 15 secondary jobs in the community, added Norm Keil, an officer in Detox Environmental Ltd. Mr. Keil and his partner, Brian Ritchie, spoke to a meeting of the Port Darlington Community Association Association on Monday evening, Aug. 24. Several Wilmot Creek residents were also in attendance. The Wilmot Wilmot Creek retirement community is about one kilometre east of the plant. . "We want to bring in industrial materials to the site for processing or re-shipping," Mr. Keil told about 25 people at the meeting. "We have applied for a permit (from the Ministry of the Environment) Environment) to allow die consolidation, processing and transferring of waste," he said. The waste that Mr. Keil pinpointed pinpointed for the group includes: • oil, oily water, paints, solvents, glues, inks, organic sludge, acids, alkalies alkalies and inorganic sludges. (These will represent 90 per cent of the wastes to be held at the transfer station.) station.) • lab chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, metal sludges, chlorinated chlorinated solvents, aerosols, batteries and household hazardous waste. (These substances will represent the other 10 per cent of the types of waste to be held at the site on Bennett Road, Bowmanvillc.) "Approximately 75 per cent of this material has a second use," said Mr. Keil. These products would be stored inside the building. Nothing would be stored outside the building, Mr. Keil assured his audience. The processing will consist of blending, sorting, and upgrading materials. Other materials will be disposed of in a manner that is regulated regulated by the government, he said. "We will not incinerate or bury anything on the site, or handle PCBs, explosives or pathological wastes. We will not have used tires, trash, garbage or construction debris on site." Looking back at the figure of how much" material can be reclaimed reclaimed for recycling, Mr. Keil told the group the company hopes to be able to work with Durham Region Continued on Page 2 Mum , ; A , v , ld cychsts from points all across Ontario showed up lometer route stretched from Orono to Peterborough and back! earl r y a ] h ?

As of Monday evening, this popular centre had been reduced to a pile of rubble, all in one day. We have no information on their plans for this spot in the middle of the downtown core, but it would be wasting a prominent location if it were just allowed to sit idle for any length of time. ALL ROADS LEAD - The first of the fall fairs gets under way at the Fairgrounds in Blackstock this weekend and an excellent program appears appears to have been lined up by those hard-working directors. If you enjoy watching cars being wrecked, there's a demolition derby Friday evening, followed on Saturday by the big parade in the morning and a great assortment of other attractions all afternoon and early evening. The media milking contest has always been an outstanding event because because participants don't know ahead of time, what they'll be milking. It's great fun! RACING STRIPES - Some of the bicycle riders and at least two members of the press that we know of, brought home a bit extra from that Multiple Sclerosis Orono to Peterborough ride on the weekend. According to the information we received, someone had painted a fence at the fairgrounds, in preparation for Orono Fair that is coming up the second week of September. The white paint should have been dry by the time the cyclists and press representatives arrived on Saturday Saturday morning, but wasn't. Naturally, where there's a fence, it's going to be leaned on. In time, the paint will come off their clothes and hides, if they are lucky. PC BARBECUE - There are a number of interesting and satisfying barbecues and com roasts coming up in the weeks ahead and we encourage encourage those sponsoring them to use the Coming Events columns for best results. However, we would like to remind readers about the annual annual Ross Stevenson barbecue and corn roast that's coming up next Wednesday, Sept. 2nd at Blackstock Fairgrounds, rain or shine. No doubt, our federal MP will be taking time out from greeting supporters supporters to tell all and sundry more about the Constitution agreement and the possibility of a referendum to find out if the people approve. While we are on the subject of super feeds, there's one at Zion United Church, Mitchell's Corners, Saturday, Sept. 12th. Phone 725-4985 for tickets. Better hurry..If we recall correctly, last year there were three barbecues in that area on the same day. WE GET AROUND - We were more than casually interested in the dreadful hurricane that decimated sections of Florida on Monday because because one of our staff members was planning to spend holidays in that state. So far, no word has been received from him, but we know he has a new camera and probably will use it to record some of the terrible terrible damage if possible. NEW LOCATION - We're sorry to lose a good tenant and neighbor, but they needed more parking and space than was available, so Community Community Care Home Support & COPE office is moving to 98 King St.. West in the former Glen Rae Dairy building. The present office will be closed this Friday, August 28th and, if all goes well, the new one should be open for business early next week. > WINDING DOWN - After complaining about the cold wet weather all July and part of August, this week's hot, muggy climate has let us know that Mother Nature hasn't overlooked us entirely. Many gardeners gardeners and farmers are probably hoping it continues until their crops and flowers arc all caught up to where they should be instead of being several several weeks late. Enjoy it, winter is not far off. The ice goes into the Recreation Complex in a couple of weeks. And, in just over one week, schools will be back in action.

Cindy Murray, the executive director director of the Newcastle Oshawa Whitby United Way, hopes that once the name is chosen and approved, approved, the name can be phased in. "Hopefully, we won't have to have it in place by a certain date," Ms Murray said. "If the name can be phased in gradually, then it won't cost as much as to replace items." But, if not, the cost would be incredible, incredible, Ms Murray stated. However, there are some items that will have to be replaced quickly, quickly, she admitted. "Our signs and banners will have to be changed first," Ms Murray said. Mark Jackman, curator of the Clarke Museum and Archives, told The Statesman the change will "Think Green Day" Puts Emphasis on Business Recycling The Town of Newcastle has announced announced a "Think Green Day" for September 11. Scheduled events for the day arc designed to promote and encourage environmentally-friendly office habits. habits. The Town currently recycles more than half the waste produced at its various facilities. But the Green Committee, which is made up of municipal staff, wants to do better. better. "We wanted to make an impact on staff," said Lou Ann Birkctt, cochair cochair of the committee. "We wanted to encourage staff to participate and educate them as well." Each department at at the Municipal Municipal Administration Centre will compete in a zero-waste production challenge on Think Green Day. There will also be a lunchtime scavenger hunt, an environment quiz, and a costume contest. Spectators arc welcome. You won't regret attending, according according to the members of the Green Committee. And you may walk away with new ideas on how Continued on Page 3 -Groups Identify Costs Associated with Changing "Newcastle" cause confusion for a while until people get used to it. Howeyer, the museum won't need to shell out a lot of money if the town gets a new name. "My secretary will be spending a lot of time using a black marker," s lid Mr. Jackman. V^Other than changing the stationery stationery /and business cards, there will be little direct monetary cost to the museum. museum. However, Mr. Jackman did suggest suggest that the town's new moniker will be an inconvenience Costly to School Board The "prohibitive cost" is the main concern of the Peterborough, Victoria, Northumberland & Newcastle Newcastle Board of Education, said the board's Director of Education, Peter Roach. In fact, Mr. Roach is not looking forward to the change at all. "It will have a significant financial financial impact and every dollar will come from the taxpayer," said Mr. Roach on Monday afternoon. Stating a "conservative estimate of $50,000" for the changeover, for the separate school board, Mr. Roach said. "The change comes at a. difficult time of financial restraint when we need a good return for our dollar." This' change does not represent a good return for the taxpayer's dollars, dollars, especially when one considers how many schools this will affect, Mr. Roach added. "Before, (in 1974) when the name changed, there was money provided by the province to offset the cost of the change-over," he said. However, this time there won't be any since this is a municipally- directed change, the director pointed out. Ward Two Local Councillor John O'Toole would like to see "an itemized itemized list" of what the name change will cost the municipality if and when the change goes through. Councillor O'Toole estimated the name change could cost taxpayers about $250,000. This figure would cover a multitude of costs, including altering the town's legal documents. However, a detailed list of the costs surrounding a name change won't be coming until the Name Change Committee has presented its recommendation to council in October. October. Taxpayers React to Name Change... Last week, The Statesman asked residents from across the municipality municipality how a new municipal name would affect their lives. Residents were also asked which of the six proposed new names they would prefer. Here are their views: . Newcastle Village resident Carole Carole Caruana doesn't approve of the name change and is not looking forward forward to having all her personal documents documents changed. "We're going to have to change our drivers licences, and car insurance," insurance," she said. Ms Caruana said, if the town is to change its name then the new name should be Clarington, because "it sounds kind of nice." Applewood was Ms Caruana's second choice. Maureen Mumford, who works in Newcastle Village, favors Clarington Clarington of the six choices for the name. However, she does think the change is a "huge waste of money" for the Town of Newcastle. , The business she works for will not have any costs involved if the name changes, though. "We just have the name of the village on our stationery," Ms Mum- ford said. Ms Mumford works for Matthews & Associates on King Street, Newcastle Village. Newcastle Village properly owner owner and businessman, Ed Vanhaver- beke, favors Darlington of the six names chosen by the Name Change Committee. . Regarding his business, Mr. Van- haverbeke did not think a different municipal name would affect him. "I can't see any benefit to the name change," he said. On the documents he uses for his business, there won't be any changes changes since "I've always used the Village Village of Newcastle as the address," Mr. Vanhaverbeke explained.
