David Scott, 'Elgin Heard and -son "Our famiiy settied here in 1850..." Glen Stapleton told NDP Leader Bob Rae last Tuesday, August 7, as a crowd gathered, and bis 96 year old father looked on, north on Stapleton Road overlook- ing the Laidlaw Landfill Site; "and we feel that nobody likes the idea of drinking milk from cattle that have been exposed to contaminated water!" Mter a brief period of shaking hands, Rae and bis entourage made their way to a strategic spot, where Rae attacked the Petersen government, accusing it of suppor- ting and feeding big business such as Laidlaw, with absoluteiy no regard for the beautiful farmland and/or its people.

"No one ever bothers to mention that Laidlaw is one of the largest, mnost efficient recyclers in the country, or that it is one of the most'conscien- tious, modemn waste disposai com- panies in North America." After Bob Rae finished speaking, he made his way down the crest of the hili to his bus. One by one, the microphones and television cameras descended on Don Tefft. Tefft answered questions fired at him from ail sides, stili maintaining that knowing what he knows, he would not hesitate to live next door to the site. Personaiiy I think the whole Newtonville stop, wassomewhat of a campaigning must, for an issue that could not be ignored. However, if the real problems of this garbage dump were under scrutiny at tlhis meeting, why weren't more people made aware of the date, time and place? and why not get dloser to the dump? or get some professional environmen- talists or the Health Department in on the act?
