"I couldn't ny. Lambert was lost over Kapelsche Veer, have had a finer time," he stated. Pritchard went to Holland with his old regiment, the Lincoln Lincoln and Welland, to participate in the celebration of the liberation of HoL says Pritchard, and his grave marker was alongside three other comrades whose bodies were never found. The parades were an awesome experi- "JZTÈL TTSST JJE Prit " 'It was all wonderful" wonderful" said Pritchard from his home at the Durham County Senior's Complex, Tuesday' morning. Since he didn't book his trip with his regiment, Pritchard says they were all surprised to see him. The chateau where the regiment regiment were booked to stay for the 12 day trip was very grand, said Pritchard, but the stairs where too much for him. One of the volunteers with the tour, noticed he was having difficulty with the stairs, and said she had.room at her house for him and two others. "I went with bells on," he said. "Going to the cemetery was very moving," stated Pritchard. "It will stick with me forever." At one cemetery chard, "The Dutch people couldn't do enough for us. The kids reached out to touch us and thank us," he stated. "They would break out into song, singing 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow', or anything anything else that came to their minds." People along the route would hand the parading veterans veterans glasses of beer, says Pritchard. "At one time I heard someone say "catch," so I stuck out my hand and caught a whole quart of Heineken," he stated, and added, "I was well supplied for that parade." "At the very last parade, the Governor General Adrienne Clarkson was on standby with PRITCHARD see page 3 Municipality re-instates ad policy Ms. Jeanne Burnside addressed addressed Clarington council on Monday night and asked them to investigate the real reason What's inside Wacky Hair Day See page 5 This Teddv Bear definitely had a heart beat, according to Zita Ayube (R), Ontario Early Years Staff, and Panel recommends stricter bio sludge controls why Orono Weekly Times was no longer receiving municipal advertising. ' "Since council cited tax arrears as the reason for the lack of advertising in the Orono Weekly Times, and that is a false allegation, I request that council correct the record publicly and implement their approved advertising policy," she stated. Burnside also addressed council at their May 2nd meeting asking councillors why the corporate advertising policy, adopted in March of 2002, was not being adhered to. The existing municipal Corporate Advertising policy states that the Orono Weekly Times will receive municipal advertising of specific interest ADS see page 3 The experts agree, the use of paper fibre biosolids (paper sludge) should be controlled by the Certificate of Approval, issued by the Ministry of the • Environment (MOE). This is exactly what the Protect the Ridges environmental environmental group have been seeking seeking for the past five years. In February of last year, the MOE established a panel of independent experts to review studies and data on the material material called Sound-Sorb, to determine determine whether or not the product product poses any risks to human health and the environment. Sound-Sorb, a mixture of sand and paper sludge, has been used to construct berms at gun clubs across Ontario, including the Oshawa Skeet and Gun Club. Paper sludge, which is the waste from the paper recycling process, is also used in a soil amending product call Nitro Sorb (a mixture of paper sludge and compost) and spread on farm fields. The use of paper fibre biosolids (PFB) are exempt from the current Certificate of Approval (C of A) process for waste material, when they are mixed with another substance. They are then considered to be a product,rather than waste, thus exempt from the C of A requirement. "If these products were managed under a C oF A, the MOE would set conditions on the transportation and disposal of the material," stated Deb Vice, Co-chair of Protect the Ridges. Clarington council has on three separate occasions passed resolutions, regarding the disposal of paper sludge. They've passed a moratorium on the dumping of paper sludge in Durham Region, and asked for a public inquiry into the actions of the MOE and their lack of response and failure failure to disclose a longstanding water safety issue related with wells around the Oshawa Skeet and Gun Club. The Expert Panel felt that the bulk use of PFB in berms could be managed in a way that could reduce any risk to human health and the environment environment to a minimum. They felt there is no need to ban the use of PFB mixed with soil to create create Sound-Sorb for bulk use in berms. Furthermore, they felt there was no need to remove the berm at the Oshawa Skeet and Gun Club provided longterm longterm monitoring of the groundwater continue. They did recommend that PFB be composed in future, before it is used in berm SLUDGE see page 3
