o¥age.7, News, Tuesday, November. 6.21990 Northern Insights continued from page 5 housekeeping chores include "what are we going to do with nuclear waste?" On the latter issue, Wilson faces her toughest assignment. She is one of the members of the federal environmental assessment panel set up to look at the proposal by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited to bury high- level readioactive waste somewhere in the Canadian Shield - most likely in northern Ontario. She didn't mention that subject in her talk at Lakehead, but the day after her lecture, she appeared at what the assessment panel calls "scoping" hearings on the issue. The "scoping sessions" are the first round - to hear out people and organizations concerned about AECL's proposal. After the first round, AECL will write a report Chimo Club by Winnie Campbell The regular meeting of the Chimo Club held on Friday , Oct.19, was chaired by President Ken Davis. The secretary's and treasurer's reports were approved as read. Eva Gordon, card secretary, ' reported sending several Get Well and Sympathy cards to members. Thank you cards were also read.

Drumheller, Alta., visiting brother Fred and family. continued on page 10 explaining how it intends to deal with the concerns raised. That report will then become the focus of the full public hearings. Wilson thus faces the incredible task of applying her egaliterian, feminist philsophy of "corrective perspectives" to a very high-tech problem - what to do with all the left over fuel bundles and other nuclear garbage from atomic power plants. AECL suggests (as I have reported in previous columns) that it's somehow immiral to look for only a "storage" solution, since we wuld then be bordening future generations with the responsibleility of finding solutions to our messes. An equally strong moral argument can be made, as it is by environmental ethicists, that it is not fair to future generations for us to bury this stuff deep down in The North of Superior 7 Roman Catholic Separate School Board requires for January 1991 an OCCASIONAL TEACHER One full-time Grade 3 teacher for St. Martin School in Terrace Bay. the Canadian Shield, somehow protecting future generations (250,000 years from now) from radioactive leakages to the surface. Is it perhaps more moral, they argue, to keep the problem on the surface for now, where we can keep an eye on it, until we This position is open from January 7, 1991 to June invent better technology? 28, 1991, due to a leave of absence. : ; Interested applicants may send their resume, Wilson argued, quite parish priest letter and references by' Priority Post convincingly, that the world must reject the old assumption that "just because women rock the cradle, they have no right to rock the world". Men who haven't accepted that truth yet had better wake up and smell the coffee. At the same time, we will have to wait and see whether Wilson's feminist theology can deliver practicl solutions to the nuclear waste problem. As a fellow northerner, I pray she can. 10: Personnel P.O. Box 610 Terrace Bay, Ontario POT 2W0 (807) 825-3209 G.J. Matys Dir. of Education } C. Lacroix g.
