At the Eldorado wants to submit assessments The general manager of Eldorado Nuclear Ltd., Port Hope, Brian C..Pearson, has written Mayor Rickard for his assistance in order that the company can present preliminary assessments for Tow level waste in four considered considered locations including two sites in the Port Granby area, north and south of Lakeshore Road, the former Hope Township refinery site at Wesleyville and the Welcome property, all lanjls now owned by Eldorado. The request due to the fact., that the Port Granby . Monitoring Committee earlier this summer voted to cancel any further meetings .- until such time as Eldorado broadened their site study to include other areas„that may be suitable somwhere across Canada. Pearson makes note that the committee was to. meet .again on October 12th but' that failing this meeting being 1 held that the mayor assist so that presentation 'of the assessments may be made to : council. Pearson states that the four options are now under consideration consideration which could allow the company to meet the deadline for decommissioning decommissioning the present Port Granby site by the year 1986. He also points out that transport of such waste to Elliott Lake, as has been suggested and studied, would cost an estimated $62 million and with other related costs would increase to over $100 . million. The letter was received by council on Monday and has been referred to the Port Granby Monitoring Committee Committee with the understanding that council representatives on the committee will consult with staff and submit a writ-' * ten report and recommanda,-' tion to the Town General' Purpose Committee. In speaking with Counc. , Hamre on Monda.y, she stated that the Port Granby committee would be meeting on Monday evening when the letter would be • discussed ■along 'with other items of business. Town refining grants system The General Purpose Committee of the Town of Newcastle has given approval to two reports associated, with municipal grants and those bodies that are eligible for such grants. In four specific cases the Town will over a period of four years opt out of administrating administrating the programs and reduce their financial commitments to these specific programs. Included are Girls Softball, Bowman- ville Senior Citizens, Newcastle Newcastle Youth Bowling and Newcastle Village Figure Skating. Groups such as the above however may make application application for funds through a grant from the Town under their new policy. Joe Caruana, Deputy Director of Community- Services Services in his report states that the Town would continue to retain the administration and implementation of Newcastle Village Hockey, Bowman ville Hockey and Aquatics (youth and adults) at a basic level of service. . The deputy director informed informed Counc. Hamre that the Town had tried to opt out of Bowmanville hockey but volunteers to operate the program program just did not come forth end of seven innings the game was tied at 7 all with the My Apothecary coming up with the necessary runs in the top of the seventh- and then holding Venezia off the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh. . My Apothecary scored two in the top of the eighth but Venezia came back to load the bases in the bottom half and take the win 10-9. Pictured above are: (back row) Coach Jerry Garnett, Gwen Wagg, storekeeper, Jennu Pisani, Diana White, and he was of the opinion that this would continue to be the case. He said the Bowmanville program was much greater than both the other two programs provided in Newcastle by volunteer groups. The grant policy is seen as a means of reducing municipal participation in the provision of a wide range of leisure activities. The Town would continue to provide facilities while residents would undertake the activities activities under their own direction. direction. A report on municipal grant policy was also submitted submitted by a committee of Councs. Taylor, Hamre, Joe Caruana and Kathryn Campbell Campbell which outlined four main categories being, civic, recreational, cultural and service service activities, which could be eligible for municipal grants. The report also outlines the basic elements under which each would be eligible for grants. This report points out the i main objective of the Town in providing limited financial assistance to organizations within the Town which provide provide to all residents, services and programs which enhance the quality and variety of the residents' lives. In establishing a fund for grants the Town, in 1984, will use the criteria of $2.00 per capita which will, in total, amount to some $65,000, an amount similar to all grants provided for 1983. This may be adjusted on an annual basis. It was pointed out that If a volunteer group does falter the Town would provide the basic level of activity providing providing it was within the criteria as set forth by the Town. Councillors agreed that the policy may have some soft spots but that it was a beginning beginning and would help 'to eliminate the mish-mash of the çast. - Joanne Darling, Brenda Leudke, Caroline Garnett, Joanne Alldread, Karen Harness, Gerri Bailey, loyal supporter, Nip Cooper, coach Mike White; (front row) Barb Swan, Joan Kimball, Kimball, Grace deVerteuil, Irene Martin, Mary Jane Tomkins and Lina Shetler.
