2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 6, 1988 Nuclear generators as a major hope Over the past couple of weeks a lot of news was created with reports from the World Conference on the Changing Atmosphere and one of the participants was none other than Kenneth Hare. Hare recently released the Ontario Nuclear Safety Review which he headed up and which Joshua Samuel reviewed in this paper last week stating it was recommended recommended reading for everyone. Hare has a lot of academic credits being the chancellor of Trent University, has been dean of arts and science at McGill, master of Birkbeck College at the University of London, London, England, president of the University of B.C., provost of the University of Toronto's Trinity College and with others is also an authority on the spreading deserts of Africa. It's all quite impressive. Although the main theme of the World Conference in Toronto did not dwell on nuclear generation of electric power it appears that guarded remarks did favour nuclear generation generation over coal-fired generators. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct byproduct of coal burning and there is just no way of getting around this fact.'This in turn does damage to the ozone shield and as such they predict a greenhouse effect with increased temperatures from the sun. This result is somewhat startling. Possibly for people in this area the cautious remarks on the benefits of nuclear generation can be reassuring with a nuclear plant in Darlington and then Pickering just down the road to the west. Hàre states he has found no evidence of harm to the general public due to nuclear generation under normal operation. operation. He claims the reactors are being operated safely. Hare has told Hydro to keep re-examining their operations and procedures for they (Hydro) can never be assured all is well. The odds appear to favour nuclear generation over other forms. It can be claimed, however, that nothing is ever inherently safe. Maybe now? At the recent Town of Newcastle meeting Counc. Hubbard spoke up on conditions at the west beach in Bowmanville which anyone that has been in the area is well aware. But according to Hubbard the problem keeps becoming becoming more permanent with plans by individuals to expand their properties with additions and changes. There has never been a resolve on the future of the Bowmanville lakefront which has great potential for public use. If there was ever any doubt all one had to do over the past holiday week-end was visit Cobourg lakefront with all it s activities and its amenities for the general public. What a difference. It is public ownership that has made that difference difference and a community that supports this public ownership. How long will we wait to sêe what happens in this community. community. Letter to Minister (Addressed to the Hon. Jim Bradley) MPP Dear Mr. Bradley , As residents of Newcastle village, we <are writing in opposition to Metro Toronto's proposed 'dump sites', N3 and N4. N4, the Laidlaw site near Newtonville, has twice been rejected for expansion by environmental environmental assessment act regulations. regulations. Metro consultants, in their wisdom have applied for exemptions exemptions to the E.A.A. - please deny these requests and stop permanently any attempts to enlarge the site. Of more concern to us, is N3, which stretches from 401 right to" the shores of Lake Ontario and -covers approximately 1,300 acres of very productive farmland. Surely displacing farmers (some fifth generation) from their fertile homesteads is a backward step for Ontario. Even more important, the desecration of Lake Ontario shoreline, with its lovely views and vistas, enjoyed by walkers, bikers, Sunday drivers and boatsmen, is ludieious! Why do we constantly abuse our lakes and waterways? There needs to be immediate action action to help all municipalities begin the h?mi - to decrease their garbage output. Not until Metro residents take responsibility for their own garbage, will they make any effort to limit its amount. This is otie time We don't • want to be good neighbours. We would suggest that the following Steps be immediately taken: 1) Recycling efforts to be increased. increased. 2) All industries reduce the excessive amount of packaging that compounds the problem. (Is legislation legislation required?). 3) A 200-300% increase increase in dost to dump per ton, for only when it hits the taxpayers pocketbook will any effort be made to resolve the problem. 4) Public education programs are imperative. In conclusion, don't permit this desecration of lakeshore property, rather serve the idiom "Keep Ontario Ontario Beautiful." We fear "for our childrens world - Acid rain, gross pollution of air and water, the greening effect - we must move quickly to combat what is fast becoming a ticking time bomb. The garbage issue is a good place to start! ' Sincerely, Melanie McArthur and Rod McArthur, KENDAL NEWS ' We all ha\*e our daydreams, don't we? Margaret Bentley of Bradford found herself doing it one day and afterwards she wrote this poem: This evening will see me the talk of the town, I'll be wearing a fabulous shimmering gown. My hairstyle will be absolutely exotic, The effect on the men will be simply chaotic My escort will be someone quite debonair Not only a catcTvhe T s a real millionaire. I'm up to my elbows in soapsuds and wishes, Better come down to earth-and a sink full of dishes! Sunday was a glorious summer Vay with the témperature 18° at eight o'clock, so I was rather surprised surprised that fifteen from Kendal journeyed to Shiloh and resisted the temptation to go to the cottage for the weekend. Newtonville also was well represented. A social time was enjoyed after the service. At the organ was Cheryl Robinson. Nice to see the young folk reading. The scripture reading was 2 Cor. 12: 1-10 and Mark 6: 1-6. Sermon: "The Thorns that cause us Discomfort Discomfort - God's Strength!" Next Sunday Sunday Church Service isat Newtonville at ten o'clock. Vacation Bible school at Kendal 19-22nd from 9:30-11:30. Outdoor service at the home of Susan and Greg French at 11:00 a.m., July 24th. Bring sandwiches sandwiches or squares and stay for lunch. After service we drove straight north from Shiloh up the Langstaff road as far north as we could go. The farther north you. go the more luxurious the homes become and the more wonderful the view. Then we turned around and came back to the Thertell road. Travelled west, then north up to see the beautiful new. residence of oùr M.P.P. Sam Cureatz across the road from it on the east side is the residence of Senator Andrew Thompson. Called on Miss Helen Boyd. Not wishing to travel into thé Ganaraska Forest we turned around and travelled south past McLean's school and cemetery down White's road to Kendal and home. What a tour saw many new houses 4 in Kendal alone with one artesian well. To those who live alone, buy a half dozen brown kaiser buns instead instead of whole wheat bread, slice and toast them, a loaf of bread dries out. From my July "Guide posts" I have copied the following story entitled, entitled, "Words to Grow On" by Iron Eyes Cody. On film in Hollywood I have played many American Indian roles - the warrior, the medicine man, the chief wearing his double-tailed eagle head-dress and smoking the pipe of peach. And in a T.V. spot for the 'Keep America Beautiful" campaign, I was an Indian drifting alone in a canoe. As I saw how our waters were being polluted, a single tear 1 rolled down my cheek, telling . the whole story. All three versions of my public service "tear" com-, mercial are still on T.V. after 17 years. But now I have another story . to tell, an old legend with a warning as potent as that tear! Many years ago, Indian youths would go away in solitude to prepare for manhood. One such youth hiked into a beautiful valley, green with trees, bright with flowers. There he fasted. But on the third day, as he looked up at the surrounding mountains, he noticed one tall rugged peak, capped with dazzling snow. 1 will test myself against that mountain, he thought. He put on his, buffalo hide shirt,' threw his" blanket over his shoulders and sçt off to climb the peak. When he reached the top he stood on the rim of the world. He could see forever, and his heart swelled with pride. Then he heard a rustle at his feet, and looking down, he saw a snake. Before he could move the snake spoke. "I am about to die," said the snake. "It is too cold for me up here and I am freezing, There is no food and I am starving. Put me under your shirt and take me down to the valley." "No," said the youth. I am forewarned. I know your kind. You are a rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you will bite, and your bite will kill me." "Not so," said the snake. "I will treat you differently. If you do this for me, you will be special I will not harm you." The youth resisted awhile but, this was a very persuasive snake with beautiful markings. At last the youth tucked it under his shirt and carried it down to the valley. There he laid it gently on the grass, when suddenly the snake coiled, rattled and leaped, biting him on the leg. "Biit you -promised" cried the youth. "You knew what I was when you picked me up," said the snake as it slithered away. And now wherever I go, I tell that story. I tell it especially to the young people of this nation who might be tempted by drugs. 1 want them to remember the words of the snake. You knew what I was When you picked me up. -, From "The One-Room School" by -Jean Cochrane In 1934 when I was job hunting I applied for everything advertised day after day. I received two replies from the dozens of applications that I wrote. One of the two hired me from the 50 applications that they bothered to read. (They had received hundreds of applications but decided to pick out 50 at random random and burh the rest unopened). After a four hour deliberation by the three man trustee Board, I was selected by the skin of my teeth over another applicant because I held a First Class Certificate and therefore could be called upon to teach Grades 9 and 1 10, The bids on the job started at $325 and for every dollar more than the lowest bid the teacher haggled and agreed to perform perform extra services. The extra services services were written into the contract. I agreed to tend the fires from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I well remember one young girl who to get her first job agreed to provide the winter*:; supply of wood from her father's bush - without cost to the trustees, of course. Her lather was willing to cut haul anr* pile the wood to get his daugh, ' her first job. How much closer W" extortion can you come than that? That some girl is still teaching, and 1 doubt very much that she buys the fuel oil! Ontario teacher 1934. ORONO GATES OF PRAISE BIBLE MINISTRY 5414 Main Street Orono, Ontario ..."
