Newtonville Site Unlikely 2 The Canadian Statesman KJetAoUvi, Bowmanville, Saturday, February 13,1993 From Page One considered for a garbage dump. "You're a substitute for St. Marys. Marys. You were not chosen," Mr. Mills said. The 100 acres selected as the KK2 site has the farm's milking barn, feed silos, a huge hill and a Bell Cellular communications tower on it. This is the dairy farm that Mr. Stapleton's son and two nephews are in line to take over in the future "Our three boys are ready to take this farm over" which has never been dependent on any government money, he told Mr. Mills. Looking at the farm's potential to become a landfill site, Mr. Stapleton added that the actual land doesn't have a lot of potential as a dump site. The property being examined has three springs: one just below the surface, one at 22 feet and 36 feet below. Mr. Stapleton told Mr. Mills and Mr. Danielson about a well digger who had drilled holes on land in Pickering selected • by the IWA. Only one of five holes had "some water in it." "The land (in Pickering) had a clay base.' which is what you need for a dump," Mr. Stapleton said. The IWA is supposed tell, the public its choice for the potential garbage dump site in mid-1993. "I've been told it will be announced announced in June," Mr. Mills noted. "I remain eternally hopeful the site picked will not be here." "We just have to wait and see," Mr. Mills told the Stapletons. Flea Market Concerns From Page One came evident as they began asking questions about how the vendors would be paying their provincial and federal sales taxes if they don't collect any. One woman asked if there would be any way to stop the flea market coming to downtown Bowmanville in the old Canadian Tire Store on Church Street. Another asked if it would be possible possible to go before Town of Newcastle Newcastle Council to have them look into it. Councillor John O'Toole, the Town of Newcastle representative at the meeting, told the members that Free Family Skating The Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of The Great Pine Ridge are sponsoring sponsoring a free skate for families on Saturday, February 13, between noon and 2:00 p.m. The skate takes place at the Village of Newcastle Arena.

"The town could question the operation," operation," Councillor O'Toole said. However, he added: "flea markets markets are a highly unregulated business business throughout the province." Another person suggested that different facets of the flea market operations could be looked at by council, including fire regulations and available parking space. It was said the nearby businesses would suffer from the lack of customer parking, and that the museum would suffer as well. Especially affected by the lack of parking would be local churches on Sundays. One BIA member said she had called the number which had been in the local daily newspaper to find out more information about the flea market. She said a person responding to her phone call had no problems with whatever kind of merchandise she had to sell. Adding a cautionary tone to the meeting was Mr'. Webster, who told the members. "The BIA is treading on very shaky grounds here. "Joe Public perceives those who don't pay taxes as heroes," he said, suggesting that opposition to a flea market may not be a popular stance in the eyes of the public. The BIA members decided to formalize their concerns in a letter to Mayor Hamre and the council.

When Coen Rensma, 24, and Robin Robin Koster, 25, of Holland, came up against sub-zero temperatures on their two week backwoods trek through Ontario, they were thankful for the assistance offered by strangers they met along their journey . Coen tells of a woman in Janetville who tapped on their tent flap one night and invited them into her family home; As Coen said, back in Holland the winter weather rarely dips below -5 degrees below zero. The two riders were not fully prepared for the extreme extreme cold. The night they pitched their tent in Algonquin Park, the temperature temperature dropped to minus 30 degrees.
