Forrester, Editor IT'S INITIA TIVE THA T COUNTS While the Province of Ontario and such as the Region of Durham devise studies to determine a logical manner in which to deal with the piles of garbage we create day upon day a grade 11 entrepreneur entrepreneur student in Cobourg has seen his recycling business grow over the past year to the point that it is today a viable business. Glen Williams and his Cobourg Recycling firm is showing a profit in collecting and selling recyclables. Its glass, tin cans and old newspapers that is the mainstay of the Cobourg business and from a meagre beginning the owner expects a permanent permanent staff by the end of August. - Cobourg Recycling which has been making monthly pick-ups of recyclables in Port Hope and Cobourg are now making weekly pickups from householders who arc separating their recyclables of glass, tin dan's and newsprint. About five tons of recyclables are needed from the each of the two towns on a weekly basis and thijs- objective seems reachable. The young owner has purchased a $13,000 automatic paper baler and as well a lift tryck and sees no problem in paying off the initial expen- diture'of both pieces of equipment. In fact the lift truck will be paid-off by the end of August. To augment volume for the baler williams is now purchasing 30-ton truck loads of Williams newsprint from Peterborough and through baling is showing a profit of from $10.00 to $15.00 a ton. The baler works some 55 hours a week. 1 The success is all a matter of initiative on the part of this young entrepreneur. WHEREIN LIES THE DIFFERENCE Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. proposes to develop a permanent permanent landfill site in the Town of Newcastle for low-level radio-active waste and all the stops are pulled pulled by a citizen group and a Town appointed cdmmit- tee with representations from the Region to call for environmental assessment hearings and other related studies to assure protection to those in the proposed area and in the Town in general. Both parties have locked horns and the town committee is standing strongly to its demands. Ontario Hydro now includes a tritium removal system to be built into their heavy water management system at the Darlington Generating plant and is to operate the system using heavy water with tritium # from Nuclear plants throughout Ontàrio. The system is expected to be in operation by 1988 which is a prior date to the operation of the first reactor at Darlington. Darlington. * Neither council or any citizen's group has raised issue with the Ontario Hydro proposal nor has there been a call for an environmental assessment hearing or other related studies. The announcement by Ontario Ontario Hydro, which will be transporting heavy wateç into the municipality, has not created even a whisper. We are not objecting to the stand the municipality has taken as to regarding the Eldorado proposal and even the landfill site proposal by Hale's which is in a si mi la/ - vein. But we do wonder what is the difference when Ontario Hydro makes an announcement that tritium will be refined from heavy water at Darlington. Darlington. Is the municipality sweeping the proposal under the rug and out of sight. Surely tritium and its handling is .cause for as much concern, as is low-level radio-active waste and , perhaps even more so if what we understand is a fact. We ask ourselves "wherein is the difference" and further are the power-to-be being consistent throughout the area of nuclear waste. Hydro has been immune to such as an environmental assessment hearing in the development of the nuclear generating plant and now appear to be favoured with the same in using the plant and its facilities for heavy water management for this by-product of all "nuclear plants in Ontario. the present Town of Bowmanviile 1558 favour the change with 5 opposed. Strike said the present name of the Town of Newcastle is confusing and that the responses totalling over 2000 outlined that many people were seeking a change. He said that Mr. James was astounded as to the response and was asking that council consider an amendment amendment to the Durham Act after a study and investigation investigation of administrative issues and cost involved and that a plebiscite be held at the next general election as to the name change. Strike also pointed out that Bowmanviile was the largest centre of population in the present town and that in other such cases in the Region the name of the largest municipality had been taken. He also said that during the celebration of the 125th am niversary those in Bowmanviile Bowmanviile realized that Bowmanviile Bowmanviile as a municipality did not exist as in the -past. Co une. Taylor asked what confusion existed today that did not before. He also pointed out that mailing addresses addresses had not changed and pointed out that the residents outside the Town of Bowmanviile was greater than those in Bowmanviile. Mayor Rickard pointed out that there has been four generations on his farm and asked how the name change had affected him. He said he had always said he lived in Bowmanviile although he lived lived in Darlington Township. To this Strike said the Mayor now had the opportunity opportunity to make it official. "We now have two Newcastles", said Mayor Rickard, "you say we should have two Bowman villes?"
