A 250 acre piece of land in the Town of Newcastle has been recommended as a location for a regional dump site by a Toronto consulting firm. * Both the planning and development and public works committees received the re- sults of a $74,000, two-year study ý on dump sites around the region by the James F. MacLaren consulting engine- ering Company at a joint meeting on Aug. 7. The choice was narrowed down to 16 sites from a total of 53 possible locations that the company originally consider- ed in the study., The recommended landfill 'ýte, bordering on -the munic- ai boundaries of Newcastle, 'ý_cugog and Oshawa hâs'been estimated at a cost of $14,560,3Wi. Chosen on the basis of economic feasibility and its suitability as a landfill dump, the proposed site would be used by ail eight municipal- ities in the région. The director of the study, Douglas Sexsmith, said that Newcastle was chosen be- cause it was the cheaper of the only two locations suitable for a dump. "Only two sites- had the capacity to serve as single sites," he toid the two commit- tees. Public Works Commissioner Bob Richardson said that even though the situation at the Oshawa and Whitby dump sites was critical, it would take at least three years before landfill operations couid begin. The usual government pro- cedures include public meet- ings, environmental hearings and the necessary legisiation whicb would delay operations for a certain period of time, he said. But the commissioner urged committee members to take quick action to improve the "limited facilities" at dumps in the region's soutbern areas. Among the committee mem- bers there were varied opin- ions on the study's recommen- dations. Some at the meeting questioned whetber it was economically practical to have the central site located in Newcastle while the western areas of Oshawa,' Whitby, Pickering and Ajax had a gteeater percentage of the region's garbage. Without regional roads, Newcastle might also have a problem handling the added traffic brought in from the dump site, others suggested. After receiving MacLaren's recommendatiôns for in- formation, the coinmittees. also voted to, have engineering and hydrogeological studies on the site in Newcastle conducted. The committees' motion also called for hydrogeological studies on the expansion of the present dump site at Darling- ton to be carried out along with negotiations with the townshiK~of Ajax and Picker- ing and Metro Toronto for dumping Whitby's trash at the Pickering landfill site. If the proposal were adopted by regional, council, landfill sites across the region would stop operating, with the ex- ception of Brock and Scugog Townships' facilities which will continue for another 15 years.

Setting it down on the steps with a long sigh, he looked up to where 1 was sitting on the porch and said, "Good afternoon, sir." "Whatever it is," 1 replied, "I don't want any." "Oh, good heavens, sir, I'm afraid I'm much too exhausted to try to seil anything more today. I was just hoping I might get a drink of water from your outside tap or perhaps a slurp from the rain barrel." "Well, I suppose I could get you a glass of water," I saîd, rising. Wben I returned, I noticed that he had managed to make himself comfortable on the top step, sitting with his back propped against the front of the bouse. He savoured tbe water as if it were vintage Amontillado. "May I tell you a story?"I he asked and, before I could protest, he had launched into his narrative. "I was not always as you see me now," he began. "No, there was a time when, as the poet said, I drank deeply from the well of life. I moved in high circles and dealt as an equal with the tycoons of industry and finance as well as the powers of government. I was i'ecognized -by head waiters inl all the major capitais of the world." He took a sip of water and emitted another sigh that seemed to send a shudder through biswbole body. "Wbatever happened?' I asked, suddenly interested. "It was a conspiracy by those who were jealous of 'My success, sans doute," he replied. "The intrigues of lesser men brought about my downfall from the heights whereat I ruled. Now, to pay for the magnificence I created almost singlehandedly, I must trudge door to door selling my wares." "What magnificence?" I asked. "Why, the Olympics," he replied in surprise. "Don't you recognize me?" "0f course," I exclaimed, "1you're . ...!I "Exactement," he said, "and 1 have stated that the Montreal Games will be self- financing and I meant ît. He opened bis suitcase. "Re- gardez, mon ami, here we have a new lottery where, for just ten dollars, you can buy a chance on having one of the Laurentian mountain peaks named after you." "Very interesting," I said, ".but, no."
