Newtonville Resident Offers "Stew" That Can be Cooked at Dump Site To the Editor: My name is Tom Kindratiuk and I live on Newtonville Road with my wife and three children. We are curious if any of our readers readers would be interested in sharing our recipe. The ingredients are ; simple: rats, seagulls, mixed with polluted well water, put in a hole and let the vibrations of 300 trucks a day stir it, garnish with Litter and let bake under die sun for 25-50 years. Smells good doesn't it? Finished product IWA STEW. The price of this stew is very low, almost comparable to the value of our properties if the I.W.A. continues with its ridiculous plan of putting a major dump on environmentally sensitive sensitive land. The idea of this "I.W.A." stew may sound silly, but so is putting this Dump just North of Newtonville. How can the wise people of I.W.A. even consider putting this thing on top of a productive 150 year old dairy farm, in an area surrounded by, and including marsh, swamp, and gravel beds. Graham Creek runs through the existing Laidlaw site and next to the proposed site. The mouth of Graham exits near the intake for the Newcastle water treatment plant. So, it will not just be. the well's that go bad but also the tap.,>vaLer,in the villages of Newcastle, Newtonville and surrounding area. For years now, the village of Newtonville has had to endure the Beep Beep Beep of bulldozers at Laidlaw, the seagulls, the trucks "flying" "flying" down the hills on Newtonville Road, the mud and dust on Stapleton Road and the beautiful sight of a growing mountain of "managed" garbage. garbage. If the people, yes people not numbers numbers of Newtonville and surrounding area don't want this stinking eyesore to happen, we are all going to have to stick together and tell the I.W.A. what we think.
