thursday mav 7 1970 vwyywvw demand shutdown of disposal site the tribune page 3 bob lewis no witch hunt merlyn baker must stop it now gordon ratcllff never had approval ken laushway want concrete answers in the name of reason stop it baker the bremner dump the subject of much discussion within recent weeks was the scene of a fierce fire april 27 that ignited pools of liquid waste located on the property billows of black smoke could be seen for miles peter harris 2lil 008 k o too no approval ratcliff stouffville councillor gordon rat- cliff almost as much of a waste fighter as his cohort merlyn baker told the meeting in stouffville april 28 that the dumping of liquid refuse at the bremner site had never received whitchurch twp approval as a representative of the council as a whole he said he had been instructed to demand this practice be stopped further he said a resolution would be presented at the next meeting to back up his demand and the bylaw would be enforced mr ratcliff read a section of an ontario water resources com- stouffville when merlyn baker allowed his name to stand for election to the 1970 whitchurch twp council a main plank in his platform was to stop the dumping of liquid industrial waste at a site east of hwy 48 this fight started on the nomination night plat form at vandorf has had repercussions all the way to queens park but in spite of the davidgoliath type battle councillor baker has refused to quit he was a principal speaker at the water pollution meeting in stouffville dist secondary school april 28 a standingroom audience estimated at close to 1000 persons jammed into the auditorium councillor baker enlightened his listeners on the history of the problem stating that originally mission report dated feb 23 1967 stating there was a slight possibility that seepage from the bremner site could affect the water supplies of both stouffville and musselmans lake only dry garbage was accepted suddenly he said truck loads of liquid refuse began arriving at the site from metro with the amount now totalling in the many millions of gallons he said that in spite of tests it was his opinion that seepage and penetration were taking place that eventually could contaminate underground streams serving private wells and the village of stouffville for the sake of a handful of people more concerned with the making of a fast buck this hazard continues to exist at the expense of the people of village reservoir only 5000 feet away stouffville reeve ken laushway of stouff ville told the meeting april 28 he had personally visited the dump site and had found the property to be only 5000 feet from the towns water reservoirs its difficult to un derstand why something would be allowed that could ruin our water supply for years to come he said if theres a chance any chance that our water could be con taminated then this practice should not be permitted to carry on mr laushway said that pressure from industry threatening layoffs of 5000 if the dump was closed could hardly be compared to a village of 5000 dependent on a water supply of sufficient quantity to serve 15000 what we want are some concrete answers he continued so far weve run up against a brick wall he wished the organization under chairman bob lewis continued success in its attempt to find a solution k o jtbozct rood features iuiui rsc green peas 43c ma ui awli

garbage on your front lawn he asked first youd get me to clean it up he replied then youd lock me up and rightly so then in the name of reason and common sense in the name of justice and respect for ones fellow man in the name of decency this thing must stop and stop now editorial inaction prompts anarchy the muchpublicized antipollution meeting concerning the controversial bremner disposal site in whitchurch township was held april 28 in the auditorium of stouffville dist sec ondary school an estimated 200 students filled the front rows of seats their conduct was mannerly even polite but down deep what were they really thinking the pained expressions visible on many faces was proof enough for they were witnessing live the kind of stall tactics of which the adult world or the establishment is so often accused and guilty it was obvious from the start the audience both adults and young adults wanted answers and action from the township of whitchurch came as surance of something from the dept of energy and resources came assurance of nothing john heaman who could have poured oil on troubled waters took the very opposite ap proach and only antagonized his listeners the polite applause that greeted his introduction soon turned to personal criticism his negative stand warranted this reaction it is the attitude of individuals like mr hea man that fertilizes the
