Gcorggtown Acton Monday TMtNnnptptrCaiBt ttCYCLED MwmrtonCai Phoney charities WALTER MULKEWICH Garbage opposition continues Halton planning committee has turned down a request for a special report on the planning problems to be solved in expanding the regions only remaining landfill site The request or the special report came from Councillor Walter Mulkewich Burlington following up on his promise at a recent regional council meeting to take all steps available to me as a cftiten to ensure the expansion proposal is stopped Earlier this month council approved a plan to seek approval under the Environ mental Protection Act to expand its own re maining garbage dump to serve for another four yean until the required Environmental Assessment Act approval Is obtained Tor a new site The alternative to expanding the Burling ton site councillors were told was a plan to ship per cent of the region a garbage to an incinerator in the United States while bury tag the remainder in two of the proposed our phases of the expansion In making his pitch for the planning study Mr Mulkewich said the region could find itself facing severe pro blems under current provincial planning laws and some of its own policies These include the provincial Parkway Belt rules and regulations and Helton poll designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas Hal tons environmental policies he noted require an In depth environmental impact study on development projects In ESAs The Burlington dump borders two such areas A tetter has been sent to all residents living on or near ESAs in the region telling them an Impact study will be required before they are allowed any development the councillor noted and for the region to proceed with the dump expansion without such a study would not be fair Until the regions planning staff has been given a chance to review the problems of the expansion project he said nothing should be done I think this la a serious to pass it off lightly is Irresponsible he said The credibility of the regional official plan Is at stake here The proposal to expand the Burlington dump however Is consistent with the landfill mentality which has capitvated this entire process he added Mr Mulkewich also accused the region of being unfair to the residents of his ward by requiring them to handle garbage disposal for the entire region but Councillor Bill Johnson replied be accused of unfair ness whenever we decide to put garbage In the ground Quilt contest deadline near Judging the Ontario Bicentennial Quilt Contest organized by the Ontario cultural

all likelihood there are nearly as many phoney charities around just before Chirst mas as there are unwary consumers ethical fundraisers may knock at your door or call you on phone Most of us are particularly at Christmas time and these promoters know it The truly needy would suffer without tbe efforts of the legitimate charities and fund- raising organisations The trick is to ensure that contributions end up with the people who need it most and not in some con artist pocket says The Ministry of Consumer Affairs Erring on the side of caution is probably the best defence against unscrupulous ators Follow these basic guidelines to spot the phoneys Give only to groups you know Ask questions Exactly how much money is the group attempting to raise What percentage will actually go to charity How much is earmarked for administrative costs Don be shy about asking for details Get the canvasser name address and tele phone number If they up they will take the time to explain the object ives of the organization and will give you All the information you ask for Remember that as a rule legitimate fundraisers are no in a big hurry The name of the group or organization may only sound legitimate Check the authenticity charity or fundraiser which is unknown to you Files on most of these groups are maintained by the Better Business Bureau The local Chamber of Commerce is also a good source of information State that you have already given to the charity of your choice and leave it at that This response may completely fluster a huckster who has his spiel all composed At Christmas time dont be taken in by the con artist favorite theme under privileged children Christmas cards for crippled children is a common comeon before Christmas The cards may arrive through the mail and there may be a letter enclosed which says keep these cards send us for the kids Return the card immediately to the sender You are not rcquried to pay for any material received by mail that you did not order Christmas is traditionally a time for giving so by all means give to those less fortunate Feel even better about having done go by making sure your gift is going to those who need it
