T» ^ , The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, June 8,1983 9 Eight Goodyear Canada Employees Honored at Retirement Party Graduates Region ôf Durham Holds 6i Think Tank" Meeting at Bowmanville ; Goodyear Canada Inc. said farewell to eight of its most senior personnel last week during a retirement party held at the Heritage House Restaurant, in Bowmanville Mall. The eight employees who retired as of June 1 all have more than 31 years of service, with the most senior employee having worked at the Goodyear plant for just under 40 years. The retirees shown here Letter to the Editor Bowmanville May 24,1983 Town of Newcastle and Durham Region Attention: Planning Departments Departments Gentlemen: . We, the Newcastle Environment Environment Watchers, wish to register register our disapproval of the extension of landfill sites for the purpose of waste disposal because of the destruction of the environment in the present and its effects on future generations. Our preference is that all energies and monies be directed toward RECYCLING RECYCLING OF WASTE resulting resulting in eventual benefits financially financially and environmentally. We? are well aware that for some,- the present, with its attendant financial gain or loss, is the depth of their intellectual processes. In The Reporter I noticed that, for the town of Bowmanville, the mill rate for garbage collection is 17.6. In addition, The Solid Waste Disposal Report (101- 83) dated May 3,1983 for this region shows for the first quarter only, an expenditure of $264,195 (20.9 percent of the year's budget for disposal, only, as opposed to collection). This figure does not include the landfill site formerly known as Hale's. For these monies we are promoting the pollution of the soil, water and a half century or more. Have we the right to lay waste the good earth for our progeny? The cost of landfill dumping of waste cannot be judged by only its capital expenditure or land, but also by illness and waste of non-renewable prime resources originally used in the manufacture of products now discarded. What right have we to rape nature and not recycle or replace as her laws of survival demand? It is for the aforementioned reasons that we decry landfill sites and support recycling. Recycling does not diminish the labour force, it changes only its character. Whatever method of recycling is chosen -- pick-up (source separation) or depot operation; whether accomplished regionally or municipally, privately, or a combination, many jobs must be filled such as procuring, receiving, preparation and processing of waste, not forgetting forgetting the distribution of energy should be ultimate in waste processing be chosen. The public has to be educated, literally bombarded with information information before, it seems, it realizes the threat to our planet's survival by improper waste disposal which is second only to the nuclear arms' race. Durham Recycling Centre Inc. (Oshawa), despite the many obstacles encountered, has, with the help of grants CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC NOTICE THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE CULTURE AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN SUMMARY Resolution No. GPA-460-83 - Resolution No. G PA-461-83 The purpose of the Town of Newcastle Culture and Recreation Master Plan was to examine the current and future culture and recreation needs of the residents of the Town of Newcastle in order to develop an efficient strategy for the allocation of resources to meet these needs over time. The Master Plan provides a series of 75 recommendations and stresses the need for improved communication, co-ordination and planning among the various groups and organizations providing culture and recreation services in the Town. One of the major recommendations calls for the establishment of a Newcastle Community Services Planning Board. The Newcastle Community Services Planning Board would be comprised of fifteen members including twelve citizens of which three would be elected or appointed from each of the four wards in the Town. Three ex-officio members from the Town's staff would complete the membership. Recommendations related to new or improved culture and recreation facilities or programs are also included in the Master Plan. Among the major recommendations in this regard are the following: -eventual replacement of the Bowmanville Arena; -school field upgrading at Enniskillen, Hampton, Mitchell's Corners, North Courtice, Vincent Massey, Waverley Road, Kendal and Newtonville; -additional library acquisitions; -on-going refurbishments and acquisitions at the Town's two museums; -sportsfield lights at Memorial, Soper and Newcastle Parks; -additional culture and recreation programs (initially on a trial basis), related to winter sports, water sports, concerts and musical events, senior citizens, children and teens. The Master Plan is intended to be annually reviewed and updated with a comprehensive re-evaluation scheduled at the end of its projected lifespan in 1987. For more detailed information, you are encouraged to read an actual copy of the Master Plan. Copies of the Master Plan are available for public review at the following locations: -Bowmanville Town Hall, 40 Temperance St., Bowmanville -Hampton Municipal Building, Hampton -Community Services Office -152 Church St., Bowmanville -Bowmanville Post Office, Temperance Street, Bowmanville -Hampton Post Office, Hampton -Newcastle Post Office, King St., Newcastle Village -Newtonville Post Office, King St., Newtonville •Bowmanville Museum, Silver St„ Bowmanville -Ontario Hydro Office, Holt Road, Bowmanville -Clarke Museum, Orono -Bowmanville Library, Temperance St., Bowmanville -Newcastle Library, King St., Newcastle Village -Clarke Library, Centre St., Orono The public Is invited to attend the Council Meeting of June 27th, 1983, 7:00 p.m., In the Bowmanville Council Chambers to express any comments with relation to the Master Plan. I .A. Fanning, R.D.M.R.(F) Director of Community Services June 8,1983 (City of Oshawa, Youth Program Program and Ministry of Environment), Environment), earned from collection collection of 642.58 tons of material during 1982, approximately $41,000-and that with only ONE truck. If one compares that tonnage with loads taken to present landfill sites, (is the rumoured dozens of truck drivers correct?) the financial benefit possible is readily apparent. apparent. We mention this for two reasons -- there IS money to be made in the business of waste disposal; even when done with a public conscience, and the environment is being preserved. preserved. In Oshawa, the one fulltime fulltime staff member is eminently eminently knowledgeable and perhaps this depot could be used as a nucleus for regional expansion of recycling. We attach, for basis of ludicrous comparison N E W'S annual report. Our requests for assistance from the municipality have been denied, yet for five years a dedicated group of volunteers has worked Saturday mornings mornings at the Goodyear Parking Lot. We do this for no recompense recompense but a desire to preserve rather than destroy. Our paper and glass are picked up by Mr. Puckrin who, in addition addition to lending us his bins, takes away the recyclable glass and paper for which he receives the compensation. As he does not want the tin, members of our group take it to be recycled using their own truck, charging only for the gas used. In five years, our educational program seems to have failed to attract more concerned persons. As I learned learned from a municipal employee, employee, we have many NIMBYS (Not In My Back Yard) ! If it doesn't affect me personally, I'd rather not become involved! involved! Thanks to the co-operation co-operation of the N E W group and concerned citizens who've brought their glass, tin and paper, the Town of Newcastle has been saved many dollars. Finally, we have learned that $30,000 has been set aside to "study" waste disposal. We attach a reference sheet listing listing publications obtainable from Waste Management Advisory Board (Province of Ontario). Every possible kind of recycling method is outlined outlined and explained in detail, the studies having been made by qualified personnel. Also, your own offices received a brief from the Province, titled "A Discussion Paper On The Ontario Carbonated Soft Drink Container Regulations", Regulations", dated December 31, 1982 wherein several types of recycling were discussed. Most illuminating are the "Ontario Recycling Directory" Directory" and "Guidelines for Recovering Recovering Residential Waste Materials Through Source Separation", published July, 1980 by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Herein can be found examples of what municipalities peopled with intelligent, concerned citizens, citizens, have provided - e.g. Brampton, three depots, cans, bottles and newspapers: Fort Erie, curb-side pick-up as well as depot; Hamilton, curb-side pick-up and depot. We also draw your attention to an educational educational film obtainable from General Motors on the subject of recycling of waste and waste disposal producing energy. We hope this submission will influence and persuade you to adopt recycling or other productive, productive, rather than destructive, destructive, form of waste disposal. Sincerely, .
