Veterans oppose Ava landfill beside memorial forest
In Ava near West Leyden New York about 45 miles from Syracuse veterans protest a proposed dump planned by the Oneida County Waste Authority. They contend the 220000 ton per year site 800 feet from the memorial forest would threaten a sacred 798 acre veterans memorial. The authority argues the project respects veterans and will not disrespect their memory.

Thousands of health professionals gather in Chicago for the 11th World Conference on Tobacco.

Brundtland urges a unified approach: high taxes, strong ads, public smoking bans, and expanded quitting programs. Norway taxes push packs above 7 dollars. Canada requires graphic packs. WHO plans a treaty to curb smuggling and share campaigns with developing countries.
