Durham has made a similar re- quest of Metro once before with- out success, and during last week's debate several Regional council- lors argued that Metro will turn down the request flat. "Metro is not going to go along with this. How many times do we in Durham have to go to Metro with cap in hand only to be slapped down once more," said Whitby councillor Tom Edwards. He then suggested that Dur- ham should not be attempting to buy more time to solve its gar- bage crisis, but the Region "should bite the bullet not and get on with the tough job of finding our own (garbage) dump." There is no question that Dur- ham is now facing a garbage crisis of enormous proportions. If Metro turns down this request and the Brock West site continues to fill up with trash at current rates, Dur- ham will be without a major dump for most of its trash in 1990, and will have to ask the Provincial government for permis- sion to truck trash to a dump in Maple, north of Toronto. When Regional council debat- ed the motion to ask Metro for dumping rights at Brock West, it was apparent that Regional coun- cil is badly split on how to handle the crisis. This especially surfaced when - Newcastle Mayor John Winter at- tempted to amend the resolution. He suggested that if Metro turns down Durham's request, then Green Party field Durham candidate The Green Party has selected a candidate to run in the riding of Durham in the next federal elec- tion. Harold Tausch, 39, a self em- ployed data processing consultant who lives in Scugog Township was selected as the Party's candi- date for this riding. | He is a co-founder of the Dur- ham chapter of the Ontario Green Party. The Party philosophy is to "develop an economic system that is sustainable, with minimal im- pact and a decentralized society that empowers the individual." The Green Party represents a wholistic aliernative to the vre- vailing materialistic, consumerist world view of the trad: 'nal (po- litical) parties." The Green Party is fairly new in Canada, but it has enjoyed suc- cess in West Germany, Sweden and Great Britain. on our fine selection of Selected B raided Rugs at Speci' ial Prices Don 't Miss t v OPEN his Once A Year Event = Settlement House xX EN: Weekdays AYS TILL 9.00 * Vv ry store Durham should tell Metro that it may re-consider its policy of co- operation with Metro in finding a joint long term solution to the garbage problems in both munici- palities. After a long and at times ran- corous debate, the council voted down that amendment by a close margin. The Newcastle Mayor and members of his council now fear that Metro Toronto will select a site near the Darlington Park in Newcastle for a landfill. The Darlington site is espe- cially attractive to Metro now fol- lowing the recent announcement from the federal government that it will spend $10 million on the Rouge Valley, an area that at one time was considered as a site for an interim Metro Toronto dump. Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor was one of those who argued against the Winter's amendment. He said Durham should not be us- ing threats against Metro Toronto. "We (Durham) need to be talk- ing to Metro, trying to negotiate. Threats at this point are not very productive," he said. And he said if Metro turns down Durham's request and Dur- ham has severed all co-operative ties, where will Durham put its garbage. Meanwhile, Newcastle coun- cillor Ann Cowman has served notice that she will introduce a resolution at the next council meeting urging Durham Region to oppose any attempts by Metro Toronto to use the Darlington site as an interim dump for Toronto's garbage. 239 QUEEN ST.

Jerome Taylor has accepted the position of Chairman of the $2 million Community Memorial Hospital Building Fund capital campaign. "It is my pleasure to have ac- cepted the challenge of chairing the campaign for the Community Memorial Hospital Building Fund. I am proud to be associated with a health care facility which has done so much for our com- munity,"" Mr. Taylor said. 'But, the simple truth is no one person is going to raise $1 million - it is going to require the commitment and co-operation of every citizen to make it happen. The project, which involves redevelopment of the Hospital to include the addition of 22 chronic care beds to be formed into a 30-bed chronic care unit and much needed expansion of a number of key departments, will cost $8 million to complete. © "Jerry's obvious commitment to the community, his dynamism and profile are exactly what we need to make this drive a suc- cess," said Howard Hall, chair- man of the Community Memorial Hospital Foundation. MAYOR JERRY TAYLOR Rodd Foster, chairman of the Community Memorial Hospital Board adds, "this project is one of the more significant challenges that has faced this community and with Jerry involved there is no doubt we will succeed." Having recently announced his retirement from the Mayor's of- fice with the Township of Scugog Mr. Taylor said, "having witness- ed the growth that has gone on in our community, I feel that this project is a priority."
