President of Environmental Affairs with BFI, said he is "very disappointed" disappointed" with the decision. Although the decision must still be ratified by council next week, Mr. Bourque said BFI can appeal the decision decision at the Ontario Municipal board. But he said, 'This removes the public public one more level from the process." Mr. Bourque told The Statesman he wants to continue addressing the issues issues brought forward by concerned citizens citizens at Monday's public meeting. Councillor Hamre said, BFfs biomedical biomedical waste incinerator would not be welcomed to the municipality, explaining explaining it is time for the town's communities communities to clean up rather than promote promote a continuation of contamination. If BFI goes to the Ontario Municipal Municipal Board (OMB), Councillor Hamre said, the board can reverse the rezoning rezoning application. "But the region and the OMB tend to respect the local municipalities," she said. Mr. Bourque said BFI will go the OMB route to see if the decision can be overturned. Mayor Marie Hubbard cited several reasons for not wanting the proposed incinerator in the town. One of those reasons being that she suspects a "Laidlaw connection." Committee members were told several several other communities have also turned down similar BFI proposals. During the meeting, local environmentalist environmentalist Susan Elston told committee members it would be "virtually impossible" impossible" to get rid of the proposed incinerator incinerator once it is in place. "This is not a good idea for anywhere anywhere and not for Courtice," Ms Elston Elston said. Instead of incineration, people should look towards autoclaving which renders bio-medical waste bio-logically safe, she added. Councillor Larry Hannah told the committee about information he received received from the Citizens Clearinghouse Clearinghouse For Hazardous Waste. He noted the information discusses BFI's Cleveland medical waste incin erator which caught fire in 1988. Firefighters fought the fire at a distance distance because, "of the smoldering piles of infectious wastes on the ground." He said the report also states health officials feared the run-off from water used to douse the fire more than the flames. BFI announced.its proposal in December December 1988 to build a bio-medical waste incinerator on McKnight Road near its local office, maintenance garage garage and container storage area in Courtice. The final decision on the matter will be made at next Monday's Newcastle Council meeting. if <# W 633 i-3303 Fax 416-623-6161 Wednesday, June 8,1991 Bowmanville, Ontario 36 Pages 137th Year Issue 33 56$ + 4$ G.S.T 60$ EVERYDAY DISCOUNT PRICES 149 King 1 St. w. 728-4601 Oshawa Early Morning Blaze Destroys Old Cooper House on Middle Road • •: IX' Approximately $5,000 damage was reported in this blaze that occurred at 69 Middle Road at 2:33 a.m. June 2.

To unravel the story, the municipality wants the town solicitor to investigate. The story unfolded when Lloyd Stephenson applied to rezone property located at 106 and 118 King Street in the village. He appeared at a committee meeting of Newcastle Council on Monday with a land deed dating back to 1873 which states he owns the land. He explained the land in question has been zoned in two ways: the front portion is zoned general commercial while the hack portion has been zoned residential. He first appeared before the town to request request the rezoning on June 25, 1990. At that time, Joseph Bezubiak said he owns part of the land in question and has a deed dating back to 1883 to prove it. Mr. Stephenson has been living on the section section of land in question since 1943 when the land was purchased. The results of a land survey undertaken by Mr. Stephenson showed the land in question is owned by himself, he told councillors Monday. Monday. Andrew Bezubiak, representing his father and other family members, told the committee if the land in question is rezoned the values of the abutting properties will be lowered. The question of ownership is being reviewed reviewed by the town's solicitor before a rezoning rezoning decision is made.

Widespread misunderstanding and the need for people to understand each other is a priority, Mr. Clark said. _ Many people, he added, criticize others without knowing anything about them. "People in Ontario and Western Canada and elsewhere should talk to Quebecers and tell them why we think the institutions of this country must change." Mr. Clark said he would like people to get to know about the other peoples in this country rather than planning "yet another visit to Miami or Maine or Muskoka." He said Canadians should be visiting other Canadians. "It is one thing to assert disagreement. disagreement. It is another to have never talked to those who you claim to disagree disagree with.
