2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 5, 1986 ==r- Sooond Clats Mail Hegistrzbon Number 00036# ~r~ar' Main-Street, fktmo 'V ... r-^gr^-tr^r 11 "ita^C.T^esicn" Time is running out Recent events in this community relating to a proposed disposal of waste by Eldorado Resources Ltd. has given a true indication what industry and municipalities face with such a problem be it radio-active, industrial or household in nature. The Region of Durham has only some nine years to come up with a solutioil to the disposal of its waste as the time nears for the closing of the Metro dump in Pickering and other smaller operations now being operated by the Region itself and this includes the Darlington Township site. Gary Herrema, chairman of the Region, notes the problems problems and the almost impossible task facing the Region in coming up with a site or sites where waste can be disposed. He is well aware of the problems to be faced. Metro seems to have now ruled out any intention of sharing with the Region any site they may be able to develop and this even puts more pressure on the Region. Herrema refers to other centres as Halton where after spending $6 million are no closer to developing a waste site than before the expenditure of such a sum of money. But one does not have to go to Halton Region. Northumberland ' County after spending a year and thousands of dollars is back to square one as politicians jump off the wagon when they see the heat of the day over such development in any area. Port Hope has a problem with nickle laced and uranium content sewage sludge with.nowhere at the present time to dump the sludge. They are viewing and no doubt hoping that it can be dumped at the Eldorado- controlled Welcome dump site but this is very unlikely as the site has been officially closed and local residents are already up in arms. Unfortunately the problem is not going to disappear in thin air. In fact the problem will only increase with the mountains mountains of waste coming into existance every day. j Some months ago the Regional Public works committee committee in trying to expand the services of the Durham Recycling Centre approached all municipalities in the Region asking their consideration for financial participation in covering the cost of the expansion. Although the report has yet to finalized it does appear that regional municipalities have shown no interest interest in such a scheme perhaps on the basis that they do not have the funds and/or noting that it is a regional Responsibili ty. The request received by the Town of Newcastle was received with no comment and this possibly is no different than of the other seven municipalities within, the region. Recycling of waste is certainly not the entire answer but it would be a start which has already been made but facilities are such that expansion of the program is impossible. impossible. Society has to accept niuch of the responsibility and recycling could be a first step in reducing the problem coming before communities all across this country. If society does not want waste dumps in any particulâr area, and they don't, then it must help with a solution of the problem of ever increasing mountains of waste. The time has come that legislation must be*passed locally, provincially or federally requiring certain requirements requirements for the pick-up and disposal of waste. Society ; owes it to itself and politicians are just waving in the breeze in , trying to come up with a suitable site. It is interesting to note that Doj, the Swedish reindeer herder and journalist, who has been speaking throughout the province of late made the point that through conservation of energy the Swedish people have reduced their demand for electricity to the point that trie country can do awày with it nuclear power hydro stations by 2010. If conservation can be developed to this point in Sweden then conservation and recycling can do much to stem the problem of waste disposal in this area and country. Letter Dear Editor: As the next provincial, election draws near it's time to address the issues concerning the taxpayers of our fine province. The legislation enacting regional government by the previous administration administration is the folly of the decade/century. Regional government is a slap in the face to the local municipalities. It tells them they cannot make proper proper decisions without another level of government to assist them and hold their hands. What a colossal waste of money! Regional government should be legislated out of existence to be forgotten forevef. This action should be immediate and decisive. To the voters of our community let your voice be heard if you agree with me. Respectfully yours, * Steve Ryan 623-4927 Kendal Remembrance Lest we forget The men who fought Ereedom for us V Dearly bought. We must cherish This freedom won For Canada Land of Sun. h Forget not how Tyrants rise -, And blow freedom To the skies, 1 Mary Stewart Clarke The Story of the Poppy John McCrae wrote "In Flanders Fields" John McCrae was a tall boyish 43-year-old member of the Canadian Canadian Medical Corps from Guelph, Ontario. An artillery veteran of the Boer War, he had the eye of a gunner, gunner, the hand of a surgeon, and the soul of a poet when he went into the line at Ypres on April 22, 1915. That was the afternoon the enemy first used poison gas. The first attack failed. So did the next and the next. For 17 days and nights the allies repulsed wave after wave of attadkers. During this period McCrae wrote "One can sée the dead lying there on the front field. And in places where the enemy threw in an attack, they lie very thick on the slopes of the German trenches." Working from a dressing station on the banks of the Yser Canal Lt.-Col. McCrae dressed hundreds of wounded, never taking off his clothes for the entire 17 days. Sometimes the dead or wounded actually actually rolled down the bank from above into his dugout. Sometimes while awaiting the arrival of batches of wounded, he would watch the men at work in the burial plots which were quickly filling up. Then McCrae and his unit were relieved. "We are weary in body and wearier still in mind. The general impression in my mind is one of a nightmare," he wrote home. But McCrae came out of Ypres with 13 lines scrawled on a piece of paper. The lines were a poem which started: In Flanders Fields the poppies poppies blow..." This writer stood on the C.P.R. platform in Bowmanville one June day in 1917 when a troop train from the prairies pulled in and stopped to take on water. I was a twelve-year- old school girl at the time. A soldier was sitting at each open window, "What's your name?" .one of them asked me. I replied "Annie". "Oh! Bonnie Annie Laurie" he said. Perhaps I reminded him of his sister. He handed me a chocolate bar. I wonder if he returned to his Annie Laurie. Sunday was bright and sunny and there was a good attendance at church. It was baptism Sunday so the choir sang, "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam." The Junior choir sang, "I took Jesus as my Saviour You take Him too." The minister's story was an explanation of Baptism. Baptism. He explained that, water mêans life there would be no life on earth if there was no water. Water washes dirt away. Baptism means you are dead to old ways and born to new ways. Parents promise to bring bring you up in the Christian way. The scripture reading was St. Luke 19:1-10. Then Rev. Bryan Ransom baptiz : ed Leslie Ann Langstaff daughter of Daniel and Kasia Langstaff of Millbrook. The great grandmother of the baby Mrs. Ethel Vernon of Garden Hill was there and her daughter Dianne Langstaff of Campbellcroft. Also Mr. and Mrs. Jan Bajorek, grandparents who now reside in Oshawa. Mr. Don Peddar had his mother Mrs. Peddar of Bowmanville with him on Sunday. Next Sunday 2nd Sunday in the month. Asocial time will follow the morning service. Rick Hansen 'Man in Motion'- . went through Newtonville on Saturday Saturday afternoon. Wheelchairing for spinal research. There is a great change for the better in providing for the handicapped. Expo 86 was a fair for the handicapped. The designers and planners of the fair efficiently integrated the' needs of the handicapped with those of the majority. People with wheelchairs and other handicaps were there in large numbers. Expo 86 proves that the handicapped no longer have to be the forgotten Canadians. »H. Gordon Green told us about Reg. Dawson the member of parliament parliament for Mount Royal he lias held the seat for 35 years. In other words, he has won nine terms of four years each. Is this a record? They were spending'their honeymoon honeymoon at a large, fashionable hotel. Wifey got off at the wrong floor, found what she thought was her room and, the door being open, walked in. Hubby was nowhere in sight, so she tried the knob on the bathroom door. It was locked. She called: "Honey, oh honey, are you in there?" "Listen madam," answered a sarcastic voice, "this is a bathroom not a beehive." The signs that one is approaching outright alcoholism or alcohol dependency are cited as follows: (a) frequency of blackout . (b) the morning drink; (c) drinking on the job; (d) re-active drinking - a drink for good news, bad news, shock or in- . vitation; (e) "time-drinking": the lunch hour cocktail, the five o'clock "quickie", the pre-dinner highball, and the nightcap. Glad to report that, Mr. James Hoy is feeling much better after his fall last week. Song of the Lazy Farmer (1 am repeating this for my new readers) By far the greatest of the crimes committed in these modern times is the concoction some folks try to pass, off as a pumpkin pie. I think that it's a, crying shame the way most cooks have helped defame the greatest dish devised by man. The loafers open up a-can and' out of it they dare to scoop some evil looking looking tasteless goop: they plop it in a soggy crust and then before its served served they, must pile whipped cream on two inches thick so that their victims victims won't get sick when they force down an extra bite or two just so they'll be polite.- Thank goodness' I- don't get that swill, 'cause gootj old'Jane Mirandy still, knows how to make the real thing and loves to do it, too, by jing. She doesn't have a can in sight when she starts out,to. do it right; 1 bring a pijmpkin from the field and then, somehow, she makes it yield a tantalizing golden meat, the taste of which just can't be beat, especially when its mixed up good with lots of spices 1 like it should, then baked just right in flaky crust, I eat so much I almost bust. When it comes time for me to die, I hope I'm filled with pumpkin pie. Next Saturday,. November 8th i Kendal U.Ç.W.
