-- 18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 17, 1989 The Scugog Shores Fibre Artists held a Show and Sale of their products at Lambourne House, just south of Man- chester last weekend. On display were many creations by the groups 14 members. Above, Fran Solar (standing) and Pat Lambourne demonstrate spinning, and show one of the beautiful shawls. The Scugog Shores Fibre Artists meet at Sougog Shores Museum the second Monday of every month at7: , Te Waste Management volunteers still looking for more members by Rob Streich "We will not be a puppet li- ason committee," exclaimed Ralph Blank at a meeting last Wednesday. Mr. Blank and other mem- bers of the Public Liason Com- mittee for the Durham Waste Management Master Plan, want to have a useful role in the development of a Durham only waste solution. The volunteer members of the public input groupare con- cerned that they are going to have any impact and are, "not wasting their time". Public participation in Waste Management Master Plans is required under the Enivronmental Assessment Act. The group of approximate- ly 70 interested people from across the Region have put to- gether a mandate an organized eight working groups. Many have indicated their willingness to be involved to the best of their ability, but are afraid the problem s of SWEAP (Solid Waste Environmental Assessment Plan) will occur again - government decision makers seemed to totally ig- nore their report. At bi-weekly meetings from September 13, members of the open public body have discussed the best approach to performing a useful role in the preparation of the Region's waste management plan. The mandate approved on October 11 includes; formally assisting and commenting on the preparation of the Master Plan, educating the public in their role in the Master Plan, educating the public and the decision makers on the 3 R's, to educate themselves on the is- sues. The members have agreed to attend presentations by members of MacLaren Engi- neers (the company preparing the Master Plan), the Region's Works Department, Ministry of Environment personelland other professionals selected as needed. Task groups have been formed and they will be decid- ing on their own mandates in the near future. The working groups in- clude; recycling, reduction and reuse, alternative disposal methods, alternative site selce- tion criteria, public education, political liason, advertising, youth education and an admin- istrative group. The political liason group is already active in attending weekly Waste Management (Works Committee) meetings. They will also keep an eye on proceedings at the full Durham Council. The Council has requested copies of the minutes of the bi- weekly meetings . This com- mittee is expected to keep com- munications flowing and help any lobblying efforts made by the PLC. Council has indicated that they require a list of the mem- bership so they can personally meet the volunteers in their municipality. This personal contact was looked on as a posi- tive step by the PLC member- ship. Looking toward a Council deadline of July 1990, when a choice will be made between the Durham plan and a Greater Toronto Area plan, the PLC is getting set for a winter of hard work. Membership in the public advisory group and on the sub- committees is completely vol- untary and is open to anyone in- terested. The next meeting is on Wednesday October 25.

He is then dragged to an auction and, eventually, to a dark barn on a veal farm. Here, the newborn 'calf is chained by the neck in a tiny wooden crate and is forced to stand or lie, without bedding, on an uncomfortable slatted floor, unable to turn around, stretch his limbs, or groom himself. He is force-fed a liquid formula that is deliberately deficient in iron and fiber and laced with antibiotics to raise his chance of survival in the face of these abominable conditions.
