Council B riefs Council passed a motion supporting a decision of tbe Community Liaison Group on the removal of contaminated waste from the Port Granby dump and its transportation to a permanent storage site. 'Me waste is to be moved by VIA rail. t is suggested that Deep River is now the only community interested in considering tbe storage of tbe waste. The iransfer of the waste is a consideration of a Federal Task Force which works with the Community Liaison Groups. A recent meeting of elected representatives to the Board of Education along witb some staff and elected members of Council of Clarington and the Clarington Library Board met discussing a joint project for a library to be located in Courtice along with the Courtice Swimming Pool and Community Centre. The Community Centre is to be buiit on municipally-owned lands located between tbe Courtice secondary schooi and a Courtice Public Scbool. 'Me Board of Education and tbe Town are considering tbe possibility of a library-facility tbaï could service botb the scbools and the community. Councillor Ann Dreslinski said the meeting beld between the two parties last week was supportive of tbe joint use idea. Sbe said it bad to make sense and that there sbould be no reason why a joint library couidn't provide services for both Parties at a more reasonable cost. At council on Monday Mayor Hamre announced that the proposai is now being considered by staff who are to bring forth a report for both parties in the future. Were you really excited to sce the first robin of the spring? Were you anxiously awaiting the return of the other birds indigenous to our area, such as the Toronto Blue Jays? Are you poking around in your tulip bed praying for any visible sign of life?, Did a sheet of snow slîde of your roof just as you were walking by and did this snow fail down the back of your neck? Are you totally fed up with the The municipality is calling for tenders for the pick-up of garbage in Clarington. Over the past seven years the service has been provided by BEI. Altbougb the service has been most satisfactory staff was of the opinion that the work should go to tender at this time. The cal for tenders is to be made as the current contract ends as of the end of the year. Friends of the Second Marsh suggested that the organization could make a contribution to responsible -planning within the watershed by providing insight into the natural features and sensitivities of the Second Marsb. As a resuit the organization asked that they be circulated for ail proposed development applications in the Farewell, Harmony and Black Creek watersheds that feed the Second Marsh. Councillor Dreslinski asked Planning Director Frank Woo if he considered this request necessary. Mr. Woo said they aiready had the Minîstries of the Environment and Natural- Resources as commenting agencies and felt this was adequate. snow? The cold, lower than average temperatures?, The mud one day,, ice the next sort of uncertainty? Well, if you answered witb an overwhelming amount of YES's to any of these questions, I can expiain! True the robin's did appear. And just after they did. My sister, driving along, hit the first robin of tbe year with ber car. Revenge. Pure and simple revenge. Mother Nature is obvîously somewhat upset about this, and she is punishing ail of us, for the simple mistake that the Ministry of Transportation made when giving my sister, the intrepid bunmer ber licence. A licence to kill you might say. True, tbe vast array of roadkill along the shoulders of the road are not entirely the fault of my sister. But tbe robin, yeah it was a bad move. Seemingly, witb the untimely demise of tbis poor, defenseless robin, came the quelching of al our hopes for a speedy retumn of spring. It is with deepest regrets tbat 1 inform you that spring may be a long time coming. And even if, you think it bas arrived, dont let down your guard. She may be bluffing. I suspect ol' Mother Nature has a pretty good poker face. Though at the moment I am typing this she appears to be smiîing, it could in truthbcbea smirk. 1 could wake up tomorrow and find myself buried under a foot of snow. The weathermen are baffled. They don't know wbat to tell you. The meteroloeits can't define anv sort of weather pattem that could influence this rotten and yucky spring. They haven't met my sister.
