Fun with Clifford at Lucknow Central!
Troy Patterson Kincardine News
Clifford the Big Red Dog, a storybook favourite of children, was one of the highlights at the Lucknow Central Public School's Scholastic Book Fair on Nov. 21,
2013. Grade 8 student Christina Listman joined Clifford at the book fair to check out the annual event, along with Grade 5-7 teacher Miss Hamilton.

The Nuclear Waste Management Organ-
ization has completed Phase 1 of its pre-
liminary assessments of eight of 21 com-
munities vying to host a long-term deep
geologic repository for used nuclear fuel.
The `Adaptive Phased Management
(APM)' high level nuclear waste deep geo-
logic repository project, is ongoing, but

used fuel project progresses
with the communities of English River First Nation
and Pinehouse in Saskatchewan, and Ear Falls and
Wawa in Ontario not selected for more detailed
study on Nov 21.
"We're sort of taking stock in identifying what
communities have more potential," said NWMO's
Mike Krizanc. "The decisions here don't affect
work going on in other communities throughout
the process."
Creighton in Saskatchewan, and Hornepayne,
Ignace and Schreiber in Ontario, were assessed as
having strong potential to meet site selection
requirements and have been identified for further
study. Preliminary Assessments are the third of
nine steps in a multi-year process for evaluating
potential suitability to host a deep geological
repository for Canada's used nuclear fuel and an
associated `Centre of Expertise; the release said.
Krizanc said the Bruce and Huron county com-
munites, as well as others in Ontario and Sas-
katchewan are "a year or more" away from com-
pleting the same stage as these eight communities,
which were also the first to express interest
in hosting the used nuclear fuel project. These
communities include Huron -Kinloss, South Bruce,
Arran-Elderslie, Brockton, Saugeen Shores in
Bruce County and Central Huron in Huron
County.
"We're still very early in the process," said Kri-
zanc. "This is not a race to the finish and we're tak-
ing our time to do it. We're working in collabora-
tion with communities because it's a
community -driven process."
Krizanc said the communities that will not be
moving forward will have a debriefing with NWMO
staff in the coming months and to thank them for
taking part.
Also new is a one-time $400,000 per -community
contribution from NWMO for taking part in the
process up until this point, to "recognize the con-
tribution" of the communites in advancing Cana-
da's plan for managing used nuclear fuel over the
long term.
