hada a TT -- "A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, Oct.4, 1994 - 3 Region should pick up ~ tab for blue box costs, say Scugog councillors Township council has passed a resolution calling on the regional government to fund expansions to the local recycling program. At a meeting last Monday afternoon the councillors voted in favor of the resolution after the township administrator said it could cost as much as $200,000 to offer curbside pick- up of recyclables throughout the township. Earl Cuddie told the coun- cillors the expansion, ordered by the province, calls for blue box recycling to be extended to all households receiving garbage pick-up in the town- ship. Of the 5,000 homes cur- rently serviced with garbage pick-up, 3,000 have blue box service, said Mr. Cuddie, esti- mating a cost of $110,000 to meet the provincial directive. Providing the service to all 7,000 households in the town- ship would cost another $110,000, said the administra- tor. Councillors agreed that the cost ought to be passed on to Durham Region -- which cur- rently administers recycling programs -- but took issue with the expansion. They said town- ship residents are currently served well by transfer stations where they can drive up and deposit their recyclables. Councillor David Dietlein (Ward 4) said the current 8ys- tem works well, and shouldn't be tampered with. "Why fix something that's not broken?" he asked. Councillor Marilyn Pearce agreed the issue ought to be taken up with the province. "That's provincial policy and we should be lobbying the province on that one, because it doesn't make any sense," she said. The resolution says that: Q the council endorses a joint venture approach between area municipalities and the region to implement the blue box program in rural areas and at apartment build- ings; 0 municipal staff should be authorized to negotiate a pick- up contract with Miller Waste Systems Inc. for extension of the program; 0 that the council endorses a joint tendering process with area municipalities and the region for pick-up at apart- ment buildings, and 0 that the township will ask the region to provide full fund- ing for the extended program. Township offers course for hosts of licensed events Scugog Township is once again offering a course on "serv- er intervention" for people host- ing functions where alcohol is served. The course focuses on issues surrounding the legal liability of serving alcohol and recogniz- ing signs of intoxication, and also provides recommendations on how to deal with people who've had too much to drink. The township requires that at least one member of any group taking out a special occa- sion permit where booze will be served at municipal facilities must have taken the course. Special occasion permits are also subject to Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario requirements and municipal approval. During the course partici- pants are also given the basic knowledge they need to imple- ment their own alcohol policies and procedures for their event. The course is taking place Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Latcham Centre in Port Perry. Cost is $30, plus GST. Registrations must be made in advance at the clerk's office at 208 North St. in Port Perry; the township is asking that participants register in person. Township buys local man's sculptures Will adorne local facilities Works by a local artist will adorn two Scugog Township facilities in the near future. The township recreation department has spent $900 on the two sculptures by Burt Hoskin of Nestleton, a retited GM worker who took up his craft after leaving the work- place. The large, busy sculptures, which feature farm imple- ments and tools welded to metal wheel rims, were bought at a recent auction by the town- ship, said rec department chair Marilyn Pearce. "It's the first time" a pur- chase of art for community areas has been made, said Mrs. Pearce, councillor for Ward 2. "I hope we can do more of it." The department seized on the opportunity to make the purchases when word of the auction came, said Councillor Pearce. Mr. Hoskin is moving from his country home to an apartment. "There was one we were extremely interested in, and that was a Canada goose," she added. "However, we were not successful; we had only a lim- ited amount of funds, and we couldn't do it." The goose sculpture wound up at a home near Seagrave; the pieces bought by the town- ship will likely be placed at Blackstock fairgrounds after improvements are made there, and another will find a home at the new community centre near Scugog arena in Port Perry.
