Thursday, September 23, 1982 Carolina Review: The Dumping Os PCB Not anticipated... Another massive dumping of cancer threatening PCBs made the rounds last week-this time filmed for national TV news coverage. The first dumping oc curred, of course, four years ago in the wee hours of darkness alongside 210 miles of North Carolina back-roads. While only some of the 210 'miles of meandered through the gentle hillside country of Warren County, last week’s dumping took place totally in that sparsely populated Virginia border county. Warren is only one county, northeasterly - removed from Raleigh. The current dumping will continue for perhaps six weeks or until all 210 miles of PCB-laced soil can be dug up and transported to the court-tested and EPA ordered (Environmental Protection Agency) state landfill near Warrenton. After the initial three-inch scraping last week, tests determined that PCBs remained somewhat deeper and the tractors were or dered to take a deeper cut. But that was not totally unexpected according to landfill site coordinator, Bill Myer. Myer is an en Scupperitong Grapes pick pour own at , Perry’* Farm W lb. Open: 8:30-5:30 Mon. - Sat.

Peoples Bank "Old Mends WUb New Ideas. 9 Member fDIC vironmental engineer in the Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division of the Department of Human Resources. “That was anticipated,” Myer said, “we have a full testing program to come behind the scraping to make sure we get it all.” Even a local uproar was anticipated over the final selection of the P,CB dump site. “You can’t blame people for not wanting it,” said Gary Pearce, the chief spokesman for Gov. Jim Hunt. What apparently wasn’t anticipated was the rapid “coloring” of the con frontation that took (dace as work began last week. While blacks-and whites were among the 67 men, women, and children arrested last Wednesday, the protester’s message quickly took on racial overtones. Rev. Leon White, executive director of the Commission for Racial Justice, and Rev. Benjamin Chavis, one of the Wilmington 10'and national deputy director for that commission, were both on hand. White was jailed on Wednesday. Other civil rights leaders, some with national con nections, apparently decided also to do battle over the controversial landfill site. First suggested in federal court sometime ago, the civil rights leaders insisted last week that Warren County was selected because of its large, politically weak, black constituency. A con stituency they said without the power to block the site selection. “That really puzzles me,” said Myer, who oversaw the selection process. “Nobody ever addressed color in the testing process,” Myer said. “We looked strictly at technical criteria-geological data dealing basically with soil and water.” Cultural Events At C.O.A A varied menu of cultural events will be offered this year at College of The Albemarle to satisfy the aesthetic appetites of students and area residents, according to Dr. Leland Chou, Fine Arts Department chairman. Chou has assembled a series of affairs involving both the performing and visual arts that will be presented each month through May. The diverse programs include nine classic movies, musical and choral recitals, travelogues, art exhibits by students and visiting painters, and productions by COA drama students. The movie classics in clude “The Red Shoes,” “The Third Man,” and “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,” among others. They will be shown at 7:30 P.M. on Thursdays in the college lecture auditorium. On alternating Thursdays, Chou has scheduled noon musical recitals. They will feature performances by COA Visiting Artist Clifford Tretick, painist Dr. Lily Chou, and Visiting Artists from other community and technical colleges. Every Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock, the COA Chorale and Albemarle Community Chorus will rehearse in preparation for a December 5 performance of Handel’s “Messiah.” The travelogue segments, THE CHOWAN HERALD According to Myer, the “only thing dealing with people was population density, because obviously you’d prefer one house with a ground-water well rather than fifteen (near the land fill site).” The irony of it all is that PCB retrieval is taking place at all. Since 1978, men have been convicted, jailed and fined (somewhat) for the illegal dumping. Asphalt has long been piled on top of the PCB trail to keep it from washing away. Federal and state environmentalists have been testing and studying. The governor has held news conferences. Citizens have gone to court, picketed, and petitioned. And now ratiql overtones cloud the issue while people go to jail. “Journey into Culture,” will concentrate on visits to exotic ports and countries around the world through the medium of motion pictures. Audiences will travel from Norway, to Trinidad, to Singapore. The “journeys” take (dace at noon on scheduled Tuesdays in the lecture auditorium, Chou said. The chairman said that all of the events are open to the public. A brochure, listing .times and dates for the more than 30 scheduled activities, is being printed. It will be distributed throughout the COA service area. The band of the U.S. Marine Corpj is called ‘The President's Own" because it plays for state occa sions at the White House.

This is the time when all citizens of the United States should take a good look at their Constitution, this document which guarantees their personal freedom. The Constitution of this great nation was a miracle in its conception. It was written by men who had borne the yoke of servitude and by men who had gambled all, even their very lives and the lives of all they loved, to be free. For four long months they struggled with pen and paper, preparing a document which they prayed would guide and protect each individual and yet meld these individuals into a whole nation. Upon completion, Thomas Jef ferson told the Assembly that what they had ac complished was com mendable but that it would never work. t Colonial Cfnmnep fttoeep We sell & install tops too! Call: J.L.
