Gray added he could not forsee any more leechate problems with extending the lifespan, other than may increasing the length of the measurable plume a bit. With last week's meeting, both the NSWMA and Tiny Township have been put in the position of having to find a disposal site to take the household waste after the doors of the Pauze dump are locked for good at the end of October. As of Thursday morning, Tiny Township officials had a signed contract with Moreau Enterprises to haul all household garbage to the Innisfil landfill site, at a cost of $14,666.66 a month for the next three years. Both Tiny and the NSWMaA had until last Fri- day, May 1 to have a writ- ten agreement in the hands of the Ministry to confirm their garbage would be taken to another landfill site in November. Although the NSWMA does not have a signed agreement, Secretary Yvon Gagne said they had receiv- ed a-letter from the operator of the Innisfil landfill site, Bill Strudwick, stating that the dump has the ability to take the ex- cess garbage. Gagne added the negotiations will be continued until some sort of option is found. Marchildon is a third year social science student | specializing in political science. From the beginning, he has been involved in university committees, first as chairman of "Fran- comite" an on-campus social and culture club pro- moting bilingualism. He is presently an ex- ecutive member of the Federation of Students of Ontario whose member- ship is numbered at ap- proximately 22,000. The University of Ottawa Student Federation ex- ecutive contains five key positions: one president and four vice-presidents each responsible for the social, financial, academic and external affairs. Restore capital punishment Capital Punishment was abolished in Canada on Dec. 29, since then there has been ongoing debate as to whether or not the death sentence should' be reinstated. Last Tuesday that debate came to Penetanguishene. Jim Kingston, vice- president of the Canadian Police Association and an OPP officer, was guest speaker at the Rotarians' weekly luncheon. Kingston stated that he had previously been pro- abolishment but his ex- perience as a policeman, witnessing police funerals and the tragedy created by the murderer's act, had caused him to change his position. "Capital punishment should not be seen as a deterrent but as a form of punishment." said Kingston. He noted that over the past two decades there has been a steady rise in the number of violent crimes committed. "We have come to accept these as norms... Police of- ficers know violent crime has risen dramatically." He said he did not want to see murder regarded as a common event. Kingston said he did not favour the reinstatement of capital punishment for on- ly those who murdered police officers or prison guards. "Police officers do not want to be the only persons considered." Kingston said he favoured the reinstatement of the death penalty for premeditated murder and acts of terrorism as well as other forms of capital murder. Kingston also noted that in recent years there had been a tendancy for socie- ty to show greater concern for those who committed crimes rather than for their victims. He stated that the murder rate per capita in Canada was twice as high as it is in Britain. And that 38 states in the U.S. had reinstated the death penalty. Nobody has suffered the death penalty in Canada since 1962. aa 5 et a . Ra.

FLEC unlikely to get large sum The French Language Education Council (FLEC) is unlikely to get $5 million from the provincial govern- ment for Ecole Secondaire Le Caron, the Simcoe County Board of Educa- tion's director said last week. Richard Boswell said he expects that FLEC will } receive some money, but substantially less than $5 million. Five million dollars is based on a high school with 500 students, Boswell said. Today Le Caron has fewer than 150 students. The school was designed ment has the responsibili- ty of providing school boards with guidelines regarding facilities. The government should define those facilities and then pay the cost. The full burden of implementing government social policy for 220 students. It was |. built at a cost of $1.25 million, he said. The $5 million estimate of the cost of the FLEC pro- posal for a larger, better equipped school, is the school board's. Physical addition to Le Caron might be necessary . to satisfy the requirement for equivalence of offered education, Boswell said. The school board is leaving to FLEC the approaching Welcome home should not fall on the local school supporter, Boswell said while explaining the board's position.
