Melien returning to top form By Chris Bovie Coming off knee surgeMIy, ori Melien's performance at the SummerNationals showed shes returning to ber top form. Melien had a first-place finish in the 100 metre baýckstroke at the Nationals, ber first competi- tion since the operation.* Iarn not quite 100 _per cent yrt, Meloen says, "but I've corne backý quite a way.» Currently enjoyiu.g a break, she bas boon trau*ning vigorously witb national team coach Chris Berry. After a three-weeek stint of bigh altitude trang, Melien'a knee and endurance are peakng. «We had an eight-person medca teain with us wluch drew blood and carefully rnonitored tbe swimmers. With high altitude training there is a igroater chance of breaking down,» Melien says. A determinod competitor, Melion is pleased witb ber national results. "Tbere were certain events I feit good about. My 100 metro back (stroke) was consistent and I was surprised witb my time i tbe 100 butterfly." Melien decided te jçet off the crutcbes and begin trami*ng early te make the Summer Nationals. Despite doctors' advice to wait two or tfbree weeks, Melion pusbed forward. "I just didn't bave that much turne. It was my knee and I knew just bow far I could push it." Melien will soon begin traimnmg for tbe world cbampionship trialrs te ho held i Monîtreal in mid- January. Bout becomes campaign issue FROM PAGEZi in Agi1I and demanded action," sadaberty. «I wish it was that simple," replied Furlong. Ho said the provincial environ- ment* ministry insiosa hat as long as the boat remains in tbe water its bands are tied. «I don't care wbo dealswith it, sometbing bste ho done," said Furlonq, adding that ho stressed tbis point in his letter to Brad- ley. «I teld hum it- was a foolisb situation for the federal goverri- ment and province te ho arguing over jurisdiction," said Furlong. Due te the election and p r- sonal reasons involving Bradly, Furlong bas not yet received a reply from the minister. However, ho doos not know if Bradley can shed new light on the issue. "My legal training saya it's stili a federal issue. If it's dangerous it sbould ho removed, if not, it cari sit there." Furlong said that instead of blaniing the province, Flaherty sbould ho lookng elsewbere. "Why isn't ho directing bis questions. to<Ontario riding MP Rene) Soetensr" asked Furlong. "Ho doesn't want te, embarrass his federal cousins, said Furlong inupyingbis own answer. Frong said it is misleading te, daim PCBs on their own cause cancer. "I can't holieve the mu*nistr of environment, knowing what thy know about PCBs, would allow it if it was extremely dangerous. "As it sits there now it'a not cancer-causing. It must ho exposed te, extrerne heat.» Furlong said it is also mislead- ing to state the probIem is in provincialjurisdiction. «Show me the regulations wber it say's.so," ho dem-anded. Ontario Ministry of Environ- ment spokesman Dave Bird con- curred witb Furlonges asseau-. ment. "PCBs on a vessel corne under Environment Canada. We don7t get involved with tbem if tbey're on inland waters or the Great Lak es,"» said Bird. We only get involved wben. it becornes waste. Once the. equip- ment is talcen out of service and is no longer usable it would have to e o tred in a secure manner and possibly docontaminated.» Bird said if Robinson was to declare the transformera waste, material or if the nachieqry was brougbt onte shore, could the rninistry take action. "As long as it's on the boat, ifs. up te Environinent Cand~te bave te make inspeto s aid Bird. Peter Levedag of Environinent Canada agreed witb Bird. "We é cjt «urisdiction for it even tbàough it's (barbor) leased te the Town," said Levedag. Under current faderaliregula- tions his department cannot step in as long as the transformera are considered operable, said Levedag. Only if an emergency occurred or the threat of imminent danger existed could the federal govern- ment do anytbing, said Làevedag. As. long as the PCBa are secure, governinent lawyers determined that the department is powerless te order their remo- val be added "homý Environinent Canada'a pomnt of viow the situation could stay the saine for sorne turne," said Levedag. The government'a position bas been made clear tu' both the Town and Robinson, iaid Love- diffowever, Levedag usaid the governinent is rovising its PCB- storage regulations. The draft legislation 1u expec- ted Borne time next year and may provide a solution te the pro- bloin, said Levedag. Levedag was not aware of Robinson asking for assistance in diepsingof the PCBs.
