incinerator construction project has
been cancelled, the hospital's Pearcy
of governors has learned.
The project has been stalled for
more than a year by a change in
Ministry of the Environment regu-
lations requiring specialized scrub-
bers to control emissions. The pro-
ject was originally started to com-
ply with new government regula-
tions regarding the disposal of
pathological waste, and funded
entirely by the Ministry of Health.
The new incinerator was to be
funded entirely by the Ministry of
Health.
Administrator Norm Hayes told
the board last week the hospital has
lost no funds as a result of the pro-
ject cancellation. "The public, how-
ever, has lost about $450,000 on the
project: for this hospital alone," he
noted. "'Add up all the incinerator
projects. started in hospitals
throughput the province, and that's
a considerable loss."
Mr. Mayes said the unfinished
unit is still in the hospital's storage
facility, and the project could be
revived if the funds for specialized
scrubbers were to become available.

AWARD WINNER—Country and Western singer Virginia
O'Brien -Harkness has her career well in hand. Virginia has been
winning awards in provincial and national singing competitions
for female C & W artists. She can be heard on weekends singing

"If
anyone had told me 10 years
ago that I'd marry a farmer and be
a country and western singer, I
would have said they were crazy,"
claims Virginia O'Brien -Harkness.
Virginia, brought up in a commu-
nity just north of Toronto, was visit-
ing a childhood friend in Belmore a
few years ago when she met her
husband Jim. "I saw him standing
at the bottom of the stairs, and that
was it. Next thing I knew, I was
married and running back and
forth between Newmarket and Bel -
more."
A long-time fan of Big Band
music, Virginia grew up belting out
hits by the likes of Judy Garland, s
Liza Minelli and Barbra Streisand. b

When they announced the top 10
finalists, she was in sixth place.
"The final competition was
between the top five singers in the
contest," she said. "1 didn't quite
make it to the finals my first time
there, but I was very pleased with
the way I placed."
The exposure is good for her ,
career as well, she notes. "Where
else can you be seen and heard by
some top recording producers?"
And while her first love is the
sounds of the 40s, she finds country
music is ever changing in its scope.
"It's hard to break into singing.
Even when I wanted to sing profes- e
ionally but didn't know where to

request but did not make a deci-
sion.
T�urnberry Township Reeve Brian
McBurney explained the town-
ship's dire position and why it has
been unable to get approval for a
new site. Because of Turnberry's
population, (it exceeds 1,500) a full
environmental assessment would
be required by the ministry in order
to secure a permit for a new site.
The cost of such an assessment
could easily exceed several hun-
dred thousand dollars, thus making
it prohibitively expensive.
Reeve McBurney said another
problem are the regulations govern-
ing emergency approval for new
sites. The township attempted to
secure emergency approval for a
new site but this was also denied.
Turnberry now has two alterna-
tives: get approval from another
township to take its waste, or wait
until the ministry orders someone
to take their waste should they not
get permission.
The latest assessment of the Turn -
berry dump determined it would
be full sometime in October. Since
this time frame is now past, Reeve
McBurney said if Howick accepts
Turnberry's waste his township
would start bringing it to Howick's
dump within days.
Howick Council was also
nsured Turnberry would keep its
ump open to function as a transfer
and sorting station and the only
waste to come to Howick would be
housedold waste that has to be
buried. Reeve McBurney said he
stimates the amount to be approxi-
mately one pickup truck per week.
