8-Orono Weekly'limes, Wednesday, May 23, 1990 407 em'ers into former North Clarke Liaison group lack numbers for meeting The Newcastle Community Liaison Group, founded by the Federal Siting Task Force to study program related to removal of radioactive waste, was stymied at their last meeting due to poor atten- dance and with only lfive members of ten presenit. The committee re- quires six members to have a quorum and undertake business. The committee met last week in 'the Newcastle Village Hall with three from the public, present. As a result of the poor attendance only recommendations can be made to the committee. Harvey Thompson of Newton- ville in questioning attendance records said one miember of the commijttee had aiready missed three meetings, "and is hie stili on the committee?" Thompson said he had appiied to be on the committee and did hold a great interest in the problem being discussed. He said his application hiad been rejected. Niva Rowan, Kendal, said she wvould like to know just how mnembers were appointed and for what reason. She said, "The whiole process is costing uis hunidredsý of thiousand of dollars." Stuart Watt, a miemiber of thie committee, said he had beeni asked by his union if hie would be a Member . "Nobody else wýanted the job," he sýaid. "I get paid $-35.00 a meeting," h le stated, -less by far than 1i make at work at the Dari- ington planit." The meetings ,ýare inow video, taped at a cost of $250 a meeting, three hours. John Veldhuis outlinied a number of works to be unrdertaken by the committee, one being, setting priorities on how to get expressions. it is the intent of the committee to hold- information centres throughout the Town and also to to prepare a draft proposai for a phamplet. This draft is expected to be ready for the next meeting of-the comimittee. Veihuis also pointed out that the committee had voted 5 to 4 that the committee was to consider ail three factors relating to the waste - host community, transportation and source community.* The fact that 'the Town of Newcastle had recently passed a resolution re-affirming its stand that the radioactive waste be remov- ed from the Town. Bernie Fleming, nmember, said ithe resoluitioni impacts the terms of the study and makes it clear that the Town is opposed to beîng a host cornmunity. He said the committee shouid not bc considering the Town being a host community. But on a number, of occasions Stuart Watt stated that if no one else wanted to take the waste it mieant that it wouid have to be mov- ed somewhere else in Newcastle. "We can't leave it at the lakefront to seep into the lake," he said. Hleing sLaid itle\ shouid consider dropping the hiost community mani date altlthe next meceting to which .John Veldhuiis said it would be broughit before ithe mieeting.n Niva Rowan said Newcastle weCnt through the process of bing ,,>a lost community and alimost birought a revolution., Sharon Smith, representiing t e federai task force secretariat, said the issue should not be a piroblem at this time and that in fact the com- mittee mandate did include being a host community at this time. The Newcastle committee has set-up an office in Bowmanville at Pi T o 671/-, King Street west to be open 1 2 hours a week. The office will be manned by the Comnmittee Facilitator, Janet Mayers.
