Christian school turns down gym because of cost BY CLARENCE BIDS In a move apparently de- signed to make Christian education more accessible to a broad popular base, the Clinton and District Christian School last Monday night halted the proceedings Which would have led to the con- struction of a gymnasium onto the existing structive of the school. The society almost unanimously voiced its ap- proval of the building addition proposed by the School Board, but a small majority of the membership did not approve of the School Board's plans to finance the new addition. The new structure, which would have added to the Christian School not only a gymnasium but a foyer, kitchen and new dressing rooms would have cost the school society $141-,000.00 and operating expenses. The membership of the society which refuses to accept a grant from Wintario (Because it disagrees with the concept of gambling) was adament in its refusal to accept the financial arrange- ments made by the School Board, as long as there was any possibility that some of the financial burden of this Ontario will launch new initiatives for the develop- ment of energy-from-waste systems in the province, Expanding on the Speech from the Throne, Energy Minister James Auld said 'Lilt: province has set as a target the recovery of the energy equivalent of 4 million barrels of oil annually by 1990 from solid wastes, primarily municipal garbage and forest waste. The Ministry of Energy has been designated as the lead government agency for the development of energy- from-waste projects. The Throne Speech announced that through the Ontario Energy Corporation, support will be given to energy-related business development, including energy from waste projects. Changes will be made in the financing and organization of the Energy Corporation to enable it to take a more active role. Earlier this year, Mr. Auld announced Ministry funds have been made available for the development of proposals to recover energy from municipal garbage in the City of North Bay and in Metropolitan Toronto. Ontario has offered to contri- bute up to $500,000 for the design and economic evalu- ation of a plant that could burn up to one-third of Metro's garbage. Project development is expected to cost up to $2 million. The Province also agreed to pay half the cost of the $50,000 study for North Bay. "In addition to municipal garbage, we plan to explore the potential for energy recovery from wood waste, agricultural waste, and sewage. There is also poten- tial for heat recovery from nuclear power stations and large industrial processes," he said. Mr. Auld said that to meet the 1990 target would require the construction of eight to 10 plants burning 1,000 tons a day of solid waste or a larger number of smaller plants. "To achieve this will require the commitment of municipalities, the private sector and most probably the financial assistance of the Federal Government," he said. "Our job is to help identify locations where successful plants could be built and to bring together sources of financing." Provincial funds will be available to assist in deter- mining the economic viability of a proposed project where there is a secure supply of waste, where proven tech- nology can be applied and there is a long-term market for the recovered energy. Mr. Auld said energy recovery will go some way to contributing to the solution of municipal waste disposal problems and at the same time help conserve non- renewable resources. Of 21 resource recovery plants in operation in the United States, 19 are either exclu- sively or primarily designed to recover energy. But, he added, energy recovery plants will never totally eliminate the need for land- fill as a means of disposing of municipal waste, "I look forward to the day when I can announce further commitments and develop- ment in this important field,' he said. Among the projects currently being examined are: TORONTO •A proposal to incinerate 700,000 tons - about one- third of Metro's garbage• in' the 1980's - to provide heat for a district heating network •A plan to recover energy from Metro's Commissioners Street Incinerator now burn- ing garbage •A study of the economics of recovering heat from new sewage sludge disposal units to be installed at the Ash- bridges Bay sewage treat- ment plant PEEL REGION •Following a preliminary study, proposals are being sought for the design and construction of an energy plant to produce electricity and steam from municipal waste to supply local indus- try NORTH BAY •A proposal to incinerate municipal waste and wood to provide heat for the Nord- fibre Company plant, Remember!
