6-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 25, 1989 The good and the bad for Orono (Continued from page 4) Wakefield, they did not allow any further scoring and forced the opposition opposition into three penalties before the game ended. At 1:30 Saturday afternoon the boys travelled to Peterborough's Memorial Centre, Home of the Peterborough Petes, where they took on a team from Wellington. From the start it appeared this team hadn't travelled all the way from Wellington for nothing, as they quickly jumped into the lead with goals at 8:04 and 5:36 of the first, however we were not going to lay down and play dead either, so at 4:10 Jamie Shetler popped one in and at 2:17 Jeff Goodmurphy hit for another to tie the score. The early early morning start to a full day appeared appeared to take its toll, as scoring in the second period belonged to Wellington Wellington with four unanswered goals. Into the third period both teams fought to gain further points and at 5:27 Wellington tallied for their Atoms seventh goal of the game. Steve 'slick' Bonneau zipped past a dazzled dazzled Wellington defense to bang one home and end the scoring. The boys received a fine crest for their jackets and lots of support from parents and friends for their efforts. Orono Atoms whomped by Lindsay Word around the Atom hockey team has it that coach Gord Bur-, nham has an ulcer bigger that the Grand Canyon. Is it any wonder when one looks at the injury list. Jonathan Noble - broken arm, Jason Lawrence - broken arm, Tomas Wakefield broke toe, and so on. So with so many players in the emergency ward, Orono's emaciated squad lost 5-0 to Lindsay. Lindsay. Sometime in the middle of next month Orono should be back to full strength and the rest of the league should beware.

It's a game in which you pass the ball back and forth among your teammates. You score by passing the ball to your goalie. Currently we are playing Half Court Beachy Ball, which has the same rules as volleyball, (except that you must use two hands at all time. Instead of using a volleyball, you play with a beach ball.

Dr. Bertell calls for proper baseline health study for Darlington An all-inclusrve base-line health study of all residents living in the area of the- Dalington Nuclear Generating Station must be dan- ducted. as soon as possible stated Dr. Rosalie Bertell speaking before the Newcastle Hydro Liaison last Friday morning at their meeting on the Darlington site. Bertell noted for her expertise in nuclear radiation and president of the Internation Institute of Concern for Public Health supported the view which has been expressed by the Durham Nuclear Awareness association. The Durham Nuclear Awareness (DNA) group was critical last September of t>he presentation of the Compendium of Statistical Tables and Graphs for Durham and other areas including Northumberland and Ontario counties. counties. At the time the group had said the report was incomplete and less than adequate. As a result of that meeting the meeting on Friday was held with Bertell invited along with Dr. Gray of the Durham Health Unit and representatives of the Ontario Ministry of Health. Bertell urged the baseline study, which would analyse medical factors factors not currently studied via traditional traditional medical inquiries, be undertaken undertaken prior to the first reactor being fired up. in September. She said it was not an easy process process and that in fact it was an ongoing ongoing thing. "You must have the baseline study available to make comparison", she said. Without it you have nothing, she told the committee committee of Newcastle councillors and hydro representatives, the Liaison committee. Among medical factors not included included in Conventional studies arc incidents of heart disease, kidney malfunction, diabetes and asthma said Bertell. She said the area population has to be broken down to those upwind and downwind, those along radioactive transport routes and many others. „ She said at the very least get the status quo and vital statistic alone is not enough. She said further information information for a study can be obtained from commercial lab reports and from hospitals. Bertell said the study should have been started some ten years ago. She note^ with the 3 Mile Island incident incident in the U.S. there was no baseline study available. They were in a difficult situation with no solution. solution. "You can't do a study after the fact" she said. Bertell told the committee, "you are in a new era of concern." During a brief discussion session • following Rertell's address and comments from representatives of the Ministry of Health Counc. Hamre called for action on the part of the Liaison committee recommending recommending that the Town call for a meeting with the Ministry of Health and Ontario Hydro to further investigate investigate the implementation of a baseline study as it relates to the Darlington plant and the Region of Durham. The resolution passed with little discussion. Mayor Hubbard said the magnitude of the study is mind- boggling and felt it was a provincial responsibility and not one of the municipality. Counc. Hamre said they knew what had to be done and suggested that Ontario Hydro pay the cost of the study. She noted that other proponents proponents of development had to pay for studies affecting their proposals, proposals, why not Ontario Hydro? She said Hydro was into the billions of dollars in construction why not the study. Mayor Hubbard continued that the province had a responsibility to it's people and perhaps the federal government should be involved. Dr. Bertell said the money was available but that the people and council had to take up the local initiative initiative to demand the study. "You are the power", she said, and study should be carried out by an independent independent group. Counc. Hannah said he agreed that a more comprehensive study was needed but that more time was needed to discuss it with the Liaison committee. Suzanne Elston, a member of DNA gave an impatient plee for the committee to take action. She said, "your last meeting was in September, when will the next meeting be held? Dr. Bertell agreed that Ontario Hydro should foot the bill but that it should be an independent party that would carry out the study and make annual reports. She estimated it would cost an estimated $1.2 million for the baseline study and possible take a number of years to assemble the pertintent information. information. She said it was time to take action. action. Ministry of Health representatives representatives present were asked two questions, questions, "was a Leukemia study being carried out in the Pic ering area," and "is there any talk of the province province undertaking a baseline study as suggested." To the first question the answer was, "I am aware of such a study", to the other, the Ministry responds to the demands of the people. John McCredie, project manager at Darlington, on two occasions said Ontario Hydro had done a lot , of work for a baseline study for a number of years. He said, "It's a matter of format and how far do you want to go?" • Job Printing Call the ORONO TIMES 983-5301 Dancemakers & school to combine talents Watch it unfold It is a tale of a city and a small town, of a professional dance troupe and a group of aspiring but amateur musicians and theatre hands. The story comes to its exciting exciting conclusion on May 3rd when the Toronto based repertory company company Dancemakers combines forces with Grade 12 and 13 students at Bowmanville High School for a special evening production at the school. It is a first effort of this kind for the company, said' Doug Durand, Tour Co-ordinator for Dancemakers. It is also a unique project for the Ontario Arts Council Council which is financing a large part of the venture, he said, "The Countil is-excited by the project because of its efforts to develop dance in the regions outside- Metropolitan Toronto and to build a stronger awareness of contemporary dance," he said. Music students at the high school will compose and perform the score for the production while art students will design the set, the costumes and work on some publicity.

"It will be the first time all these students will be working a professional professional setting on an equal footing," said Bowmanville , High School -Music Teacher Ron' Parker. So far, the',students and the dance company have had one meeting which took place at the company's Dupont Street studio in September. "There were a sense of urgency and vitality at that studio that the students have never experienced experienced before,"- Parker said. The purpose of the, visit was to acquaint acquaint students with the company's dance styles and concepts. Since then, the artistic director has made .several visits to the school. Students in the art department at the high school, working under the supervision bf professional artist and teacher Jane Eccles, are studying studying Renaissance art "which is ver much based on the idea of the body as an art form," Eccles said. Those studies form the prelude to the development of costumes and sets. Working with Dancemakers' artistic artistic director, the students have decided "to do life masks of themselves which will continue into a piece of clothing which they will starch into a dance position as part of the set", Eccles said. As well, she said they are planning planning sets which will spill out of the auditorium and into the corridors and foyer of the school. The students have undertaken the work as part of their art and music studies. Both Eccles and Parker point out that one of the purposes behind the project, is to expose students to life behind the scenes in the entertainment world. "These are students who are interested in creative work. They'll hold down the supporting roles in this production production which is an important experience," experience," Parker said. The project started when Dancemakers approached Doug Dewell, a Music Resource Consultant Consultant with The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education and an executive? member of the Bowmanville St. Paul's Community Concert Series about performing in the town. Dewell suggested the collaboration. collaboration. The production is â being funded largely by the Ontario Arts Council «which has contributed $13,000.
