Home M of Halfcon Hills THE October A of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 10 1 Main SI South Georgetown Ontario HI I Publisher Second Mall Number shows healthy scepticism Members of Helton regional council solid waste committee are on the right track with their comments about a private business proposal to establish a landfill site in rural Burlington than jump at this easy solution to the regions thorny problem of solid waste disposal committee members ire the plan with a healthy amount of scepticism National Sewer Pipe wants to their shale quarry into a landfill site with a capacity for up to 3 million tons of garbage this would help eliminate a major problem facing Halton especially with the s rejee Hon of the Milton Site dump it would also be extremely lucrative for National who without the dumpsite would simply be stuck with an empty pit once their quarrying operation is through As a number of regional councillors said the costs of developing the quarry as a landfill site must be borne by National completely Too often governments put themselves in a position of begging business for a develop ment that in reality is sufficiently lucrative for the business in the first place National cant move their hole If the quarry is not developed as a landfill site it is basically useless to the But as a landfill site it would be a lucrative source of revenue Certainly the regional and National would negotiate an equitable fee for waste dumping at their site and it would probably take at least a decade for the site to be filled So there no need for the region to give National handouts for site feasibility studies or to help cover the expenses of developing the site In this supposed free market economy those costs are known as investment capital and it is quite normal for the to bear their brunt alone At the same time as the region considers Nationals proposal they would be wise to listen to concerns expressed by regional councillor Bill Johnson who points out the landfill proposal is still miles away from a serious resource recovery system Under such a system the region would develop a waste disposal system in which the region s garbage would be turned into marketable products like newsprint paperboard etc While this is rather a grand scheme one much easier to talk about than implement it is another avenue that should seriously be explored as the region wrestles to solve the problem of solid waste disposal CAS deserves funds Children Aid Society needs more money and they deserve it The local CAS find themselves in a critical situation following the provincial governments slashing of their budget request for 1979 While the CAS had requested a grant of for the government has only agreed to a budget of As a result the CAS have run up a deficit of already this year Had they received the requested grant the CAS would be under budget When trying to determine whether the CAS budget request is a justified one it s best to look at where the deficit funds have gone They ve gone to salaries and towards covering the increased demand and costs of institutional care for youngsters salary costs are not the result of salary hikes Its simply that the provincial government had wanted the local CAS to layoff staff this year and this salary savings was calculated in the governments budget The CAS did not go through with the layoffs with an average caseload of per worker the provincial average is 27 they could not justify cutting back on staff if anything they needed more Group care costs are up 20 per cent These are the costs to the society of having children cared for either in a foster home or some type of group home Because of recent changes to the child welfare act more children are now in the custody of the CAS rather than being out in detention centres as was the previous practise It probably a good idea but one that costs the local CAS more money to enact While the provincial govern ment is reducing the CAS budget request the society is already acknowledged as one of the most cost efficient CASs in the province Their reward is budget reductions The current fiscal crisis presently being endured by the CAS has to strike society staff as unjust After all the provincial government brought in what was supposed to be the definitive child welfare legislation this past summer There were lengthy tracts designed to help eliminate child abuse keep retrainable children from being locked away and many more laudible bits of legislation destined to put Ontario back on the social services map Unfortunately it doesn ap pear that the provincial govern gave the Children Aid Societies at least money to enact these highly loutH changes It a Year of the Child project without any teeth So let s hope the provincial government puts their money where their mouth is and gives the CAS the funding they needto enact new child welfare legislation It would probably more meaningful than governments television adds
