Local artist displays at Showcase Stargazing and film night at CLOCA Most of us have gazed skyward on some dark night and admired the beauty of the heavens. Autumn evenings evenings are perhaps the best time of year for stargazing, since we have early sunsets, crisp clean air and relatively mild temperatures. If you would like an opportunity to ' 'make friends with the stars", then mark Tuesday, November 29th at 7:30 p.m. on your calendar. On this date, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority will host a stargazing stargazing and film .fright at Enniskillen Enniskillen Conservation Area. A nature interpreter will meet the group at the bam. The evening will begin with an introductory introductory talk, films and Study three waste sites for Eldorado Mrs. Ben Madill displays some of her crafts at the Orono Town Hall Showcase over the past week-end. Mrs.' Madill with her daughter are regulars at craft shows with a fine line of handmade handmade articles for sale in a wide variety of items. From the Dim and Distant Past The Hope Township- Eldorado liasion committee has been told that Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. of Port Hope narrowed to three the possible possible sites for burial of its radioactive waste. Two of the sites are in the Town of Newcastle with the third in Hope Township. Eldorado is to spend an estimated $556,000 in studies of the three sites to determine the most feasible and safest. The sites include the present present Port Granby site where the study will consider burial in deep limestone caverns; land owned by the company Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 23, 1983-7 Toronto, Colder Associates, . Mississauga, is expected to be completed late in 1984. Eldorado has been ordered to close down the present Port Granby site where it now buries a limited amount of radioactive waste from its Port Hope operation. The Town of Newcastle along with Eldorado also formed a liasion committee with representatives from the public in the Town of JXewcastle, ward three councillors, councillors, representatives from the Region of Durham and representatives associated with Eldorado. The Newcastle committee has not met since late summer as members of the commit- ' tee, in a majority, voted to suspend further meetings until until such time as Eldorado widened its search for a, site for their waste that would at least extend over the whole of the Proyince of Ontario, Since that time Eldorado has asked Mayor Garnet Rickard to help to promote further meetings or give an audience with council to consider consider Eldorado viewpoint. Eldorado was informed by council of the Town of Newcastle that they supported supported the view that a wider search must be taken by the company for a waste site and that at least the search must extend throughout the province. province. It has been suggested that Eldorado consider disposal of the waste in Elliott Lake but the company has stated such a move of the waste would be too costly and too hazardous. refreshments.

Silber President, Boston University Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis made a priority qf solving New England's acid rain problem. This pollution is caused by industrial industrial production, but it can be avoided. We can replace most of our industrial use tif coal and oil as fuel with nuclear power. Uranium can provide not only electricity, electricity, but heat for industry and for ■ residences. The technology for this is now being being developed, but not in the United States. Canada and Japan are at the forefront of these technologies. Nuclear energy could safely safely replace much of our present present combustion of fossil fuels. But nuclear energy is mistakenly regarded as when she speaks in the County County Public Speaking Contest in the Orono Town Hall. On Friday night the Orono Hi-Teens present their bimonthly bimonthly danCe held in the Town Hall. This time they will perform with piano, guitar, drums, etc. Miss Ruth Bullock has accepted accepted a position with Harvey Partner and will work in the new Orono office starting in December. dangerous because its risks have been greatly exaggerated and the risks of other energy sources largely ignored. In 1982, energy-related accidents accidents around the world killed killed 1,662 people. None of these accidents involved nuclear power. Acid rain is one example of our failure to solve the problem problem of fossil-fuel waste products. products. The problem of nuclear wastes has already been solved. France is converting converting these wastes to inert glass for disposal deep in the earth. But we have no prospect prospect of safe disposal of the millions of tons of waste produced each year by burning burning coal and oil. The energy potential of nuclear fuel is vast. Burned in breeder reactors, nuclear fuel would last thousands of years, and would put an end to the problem of acid rain. Those who oppose acid rain ought to oppose its cause: the burning of coal and oil. There can be no end to acid gain until we substitute* uranium for coal or résign ourselves to a third- world economy. ' GLOBAL TELEVISION'S HOVIWG The Hatton Country Radical Railway isn't very big. There's only a mile of track. But the track follows a wonderfully scenic route that runs through a woods near the village of Rockwood in the Guefph district. And thé cars that travel it are ancient street cars., We went out to see the railway in action. We arrived at a little old fashioned station just in time to see old 1326 rounding the bend. It's a trolley that used to rqph along Toronto's bustling bustling E&y Street in the early Thirties. Now it casually rambles through the beautiful woodldnds leading to the station., there was the clang of a bell, the motorman brought her into the station, jumped down'and came over to greet us. His name was. Lome Hymers and he looked just like one of the older T.T.C. motormen I remember from when I was a child. Lome is one of the group of street car enthusiasts who, over the past twenty years, have lovingly restored fourteen of the venerable electric cars, returning them to the tracks so that visitor^ can get a glimpse of our trolley transportation history. Mqny of the people who keep" thp trolley museum going are retired T.T.C.'employees. But others, like this year's president, Bob Johns,' are still in the business. Bob used to be with the T.T.C.; now he works with GO trains. In his spare time, he goes out to the museum to work on the old stReet cars. When I suggested it must be sort of a bysman's holiday, holiday, he said, "Not at'all. It's a totally different dimension. dimension. There's a lot qf history packed jnto the cars. People People like to look at them, ride them, and the kids just love them. That makes it all worthwhile." The.rrçusèurn has morë than just T.T.C. cars. Number 107, with its stained glass windows and polished maple interior, i,s from 'Montreal. And' Number 8 is a 1915 model that rap on the London to Port Stanley Railway. But the pride of the fleet is open-air Car 327, It has a running board along the side, and was in use from 1890 to.about 1915. Lome gave us a ride on it. We went a heady 15 miles an hour. It wasn't a long journey. Just the njile of track, but a track that took us on à trip back in time. Like the kids, we loved it! '
