6G-PORT PERRY STAR-Wednesday, Dec. 5th, 1973 Seagrave area news With no public meetings scheduled, many of the older folk spent a reasonably quiet week but the young got started on the Christmas activities. Rehearsals for concerts, pageants etc. are in full swing.. Nine 4H girls had their winter outing by attending a show in Oshawa on Friday evening. Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Nicholls kept them in line. On Saturday thé Brownies were riding high on a wagon at the Santa Claus parade in town. Mrs. Carr was again on the job with Mrs. Loberge and Mrs. Burgess as helper. Next Saturday Santa will come Ho-Ho-Hoing into Sea- grave at about 3 o'clock. His headquarters will be at the store and everyone is invited for coffee and treats. Another sign of Christmas is that Mrs. Gladys Short arrived home on Thursday after a long visit in Mani- toba. Visitors here this week-end included Mr. and Mrs. Donald McKinnon of Lucknow with the Morley Bruce family. Mr. and Mrs. Rennick of Toronto with the Dance CLUB ANNRENE Saturday, December 15 Music by "THE RISING SUNS" B. Wanamakers and Mr. and Mrs. E. Chirrey and sons of Tottenham with Mrs. Phyllis Wray. Abroad were Mr. and Mrs. Don Hunter who visited Don's aunt Mrs. Arthur Bennett of West Hill on Sunday afternoon. Then there were the wed: ding attenders, Mrs. Reta Boe was in Oshawa" as a guest at the marriage of Mr. Harvey Ward and Miss Judy Taylor in Albert 'St. United Church. Mr. and Mrs. Don « Boe and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Boe were also present. At about the same time Mr.a nd Mrs. Cliff Short and . Miss Shirley attended the wedding of Miss Janice Twiner in Markham. In the hospital depart- ment we can report Mrs. Roundell safely back at home but Mr. Norm Hurst is still in Oshawa hospital. We were quite interested to read in last week's paper of the Eagleson -- Diamond wedding. That 10 year old picture surely didn't imply that either Mr. or Mrs. E. are fading away. They are still going strong. By the way Mr. E's 99th birthday is only 10 days away. On Friday evening Mrs. Jack Short entertained at a baby Shower for her friend Mrs. Peter Robinson. Pre sent from around here were Mrs. H. Short, Mrs. Ker 'Short, Mrs. Cliff Short, Miss Shirley Short Tobin.

They were -- Amy Lynn daughter of the Neil Wanamakers, Troy Jonathan, son of the Martin Fishers, Brett Jason, son of the Keith Puckrins and Steven Alfred, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Welland. With -a change of ministers, there was a slight change in the service but everything was fine. At the same service Mr. and Mrs. Les Third were received into membership by transfer from Milliken United Church. All this happened within the hour allowed for service then some of the families con- cerned had gatherings at home. The Neil Wanamakers had a real luncheon party. The Wanamakers present were Mr. and Mrs. B. L. of Seagrave, Ron, Leona and family of Oshawa and Bill and Sharon of Toronto. Donna's relatives - included Mr. and Mrs. Joe Stone and family of Seagrave and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Lloyd of Cannington. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Ian Fraser and daughter of Toronto were and Mrs PNR SI SAS WH FRIES AV AATHE Dump approval too hasty The provincial environ- ment ministry has com- pletely disregarded its res ponsibility to the public, charges area lawyer Ron Worboy. Worboy, one of the persons helping to organize opposition to a ministry. approved industrial disposal site in the Blackstock area, says more than 150 residents in the area have formed a committee in an effort to block the establishment of the dump. Last July an environ mental hearing under the ministry approved an appli- cation for an industrial garbage dump spanning the 'Darlington-Cartwright townships' boundary. Worboy says, despite objections from the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, the conserva- ~ there also. - The Puckrins entertained Keith's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Puckrin, his sister Miss Diane Puckrin and Mr. Gordon Hooker, all of Audley - and Diane's parents Mr. and Mrs. Allan Ellicox of Brougham.

They've all been made stronger. safer and more tion authority, the two townships, the federation of agriculture as well as about 200 area residents the ministry approved the site application. 0) EFFECTS Worboy says his main ob- jection to the approval is that the ministry based its go- ahead on a consulting engin- eer's' report that the site would not in anyway affect the environment, The con- sultant was hired by the company making applica- tion to establish a site, he says. Not only that, he says, but the decision to grant the site was made without consulting regional council even though the Durham bill gives its jurisdiction in planning solid waste disposal sites in the new region. Council is currently for- warding an objection to the landfill to the province and asking it to postpone any further decisions in the mat- ter until council could study the impacts the site may have on the Blackstock area and the region. "Disposal sites are one of the region's functions and I don't think they want a lemon thrown at them before they even begin," Worboy says. "We have endorsed their resolution and will be meeting with .our MPP this week and forwarding that endorsement to Toronto with him. The region has been most receptive to the feel- ings of residents in my area and the public works com- mittee has shown its respon- sibility to the public and I think that's just trem- endous,"' Worboy says the commit- tee's main objection to the proposed land fill site-aired under development - is that the liquid wastes that will be dumped with the solids may seep into the ground and begin to pollute area water - sources, Although the approval was granted with the stipulation that only solid wastes be dumped. Worboy says there are only three inspection officers - to regulate such sites between Toronto and Kingston and proper policing of the ministry's instructions just couldn't be effective. It was estimated by the applicant at the time of the hearing that as much as 5 million gallons of liquid, chemical waste could be deposited at the site. And the site says Worboy, is only approximately 1,400 feet from the headwaters that form the Oshawa Creek and other springs and water well sources. HIDDEN Besides the ministry disre- garding all these objections. Worboy says there is more to its granting the approval "than meets the eye." The Canadian Pacific Railway, he says, may be directing a spur line into the area to service the site. Residents in the area, he says, discovered from per-, sons claiming to be CPR surveying crews that a sid- ing has already begun to be constructed. "CPR is building on its own property, so it doesn't need any kind of permit," he says. "I can only speculate that if a spur line does go to the site, someone may be considering shipping gar- bage to the site from Toronto." 4 : New health insurance office serves district residents .A new Ontario Health Insurance Plan office is now open to serve residents, physicians, and practitioners in the following Counties: automatic transmission or 4-speed with comfortable. : Dufferin Peel overdrive, radial tires. tachometer. special But.you say. that's nothing new with : wheel trim. leather-faced seats and a Volvo.
