Sorry anonymous: The Lockport site is quite "aged." Yes, it has information about CWM and others, but it is not completely accurate. I would suggest that this NOT be "at the top" as you say because there is a lot more info out there than this site. Don't get me wrong, it does have SOME info that is useful--at least entertaining, but this site has a slant that is not entirely on the "up-n-up," if you notice the very first page you'll see Allegheny Environmental. They seem to have a rather lax standard regarding certain forms of pollutants in addition to being a commercial company directly associated with this Lockport-com web site... Like I said, some good, some not so but definately not Top Shelf, First Cabin info. NEVER, NEVER rely on only one source for this kind of material. Just a suggestion.

O.K. If so, I'm thinking you'll possibly be doing a great disservice to MoM. You're call.

I knew about the bus tour, but nothing about RGR protesting the event. I can tell you they did not send an email to their list serve because I belong to that as well as another that they contribute to. The last time they did this they sent the email after the fact.

A bus tour:What are they nuts?

Just when I think I will be calm.

Porter

Voters will decide the supervisor's race between Republican incumbent Merton K. Wiepert and William J. McLaughlin, who's running on the Independence line.

Wiepert, 66, is finishing his second term as supervisor. Previously, he served as councilman for 18 years. When he's not in his role as supervisor, he's running his automobile repair shop, Wiepert Service, in the hamlet of Ransomville.

"I was raised in this town," he said. "I'm very proud of this town. I know the residents and what their needs are."

If re-elected, he plans to monitor development of the town through continuing the implementation of the town's master plan.

"Developers are showing an interest in the Town of Porter," said Wiepert. He said housing developers are interested in building subdivisions, and he is interested in making sure those projects meet master plan guidelines.

Wiepert said he also plans to closely monitor the CWM Chemical Services landfill operation. "I wouldn't say its a problem," he said. "It's just a shame to put all the hazardous waste from the northeast part of the country in the little Town of Porter."

McLaughlin is a retired certified public accountant who ran McLaughlin and Slate in Lockport for 40 years. He served as the chairman of the Town of Porter Board of Appeals and Planning Board in the 1970s.

Like Wiepert, he said would closely monitor CWM's activities as supervisor.

"I would encourage a more positive attitude toward them but still require that they comply with all the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency and regulations," he said.

McLaughlin said he also feels the town would benefit from sharing services with the Village of Youngstown.

"The Highway Department, the Sewer Department and those types of things are where there's duplication of [services]," he said. "They have their own departments, and all that can be consolidated to cut some costs."
