3 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 17, 1976 Section Two Scugog Firm In Opposition To Dump Site Scugog Township council has unanimously voted for a motion to ask Durham Region- al Council to maintain their opposition to a privately operated garbage dump with- in their boundaries. A regional works commit- tee, however, has recom- mended that the Durham council withdraw their opposi- tion to the proposed dump. The proposed site located on a 90 acre parcel of land in the southwestern area of the township is owned by a Whitby garbage disposal company, T., Puckrin and Son Ltd. The members of council opposed the proposal for varied reasons. Scugog Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said the region should remain opposed to the dump because it falls under its own control according to present policy. Suppórted by two other councillors, Vern Asseistine and Jerry Taylor, the mayor said a privately operated dump inr the region would run against the council's earlier recommendations, Councillor Don Frew took a negative view of the region's proposal to give the township responsibility for Durham's garbage. "Let them take care of their own," Councillor Frew said. Councillor Reg Rose, how- ever, pointed out that the dump would have to be located next to some resident's pro- perty. "No matter where you put such a site, someone is going to be affecte7i," he said. But among his objections to the Scugog site was the close distance it was from munici- pal water wells. Located about three miles from the community's water supply, he said the dump might be in danger of causing problems with pollution. Councillor Asselstine rec- ommended commissioning an engineering study on the site to determine the affect the dump would have. Before making a dçcision, he said "I would have to trust an engineer's report on the dangers."

The 280 members of the force would also receive a 10 per cent wage increase sub- ject to an Anti-Inflation Board ruling under the contract which was negotiated last week. The police budget will almost cover the salary in- creases, Chief Jenkins said.

The return to standard time, shorter daylight periods and colder weather bring, almost overnight, a dramatic jump in daily demands of two to three hundred thousand kilowatts, according to H.K. Wright, Hydro's Director of Energy Entwisle Won't Run This Fall Kirk Entwisle, the local councillor who represents Orono, Newcastle Village and the former Clarke Township, said last week that he will not seek re-election this fall. The councillor had indicated earlier that lie would try for a regional council seat but he explained last Thursday that he is simply too busy to hold such a position. He said his business and family responsibilities must come first. Mr. Entwisle, who is em- ployed as a contracts director with National Granite Limit- ed, pointed out that his work includes a lot of travelling. He recalled one case when he had to interrupt a business trip by flying from Winnipeg in order to attend a meeting for the town's Hydro Liaison Com- mittee. He estimated that his job as a local councillor involves about 25 hours of work every week. Mr. Entwisle said, however, that lie bas enjoyed the three years he spent on town council as well as the one year he served as deputy reeve of the former Clarke township. Recently he bas served as chairman of the town's plan- ning advisory committee and as a member of the town committee that is looking into the proposed Darlington Gen- erating plant. Mr. Entwisle bas been a resident of the Newtonville area for the past Il years. ronce uommissioners. The salary of a first-class constable will go from $15,611 to $17,172 under the new contract. The police said he had expected the contract to include two-man patrols. "It's being awarded more and more by arbitrators," he said. While about 25 cruisers with one officer are generally out during that shift now, Chief Jenkins said it was uncertain yet whether the number of - cars would le reduced if the manpower is increased for each car. Conservation. This is the time too, when plans are made to brighten the early winter with Christmas lighting displays. While not wanting to reduce the spirit of Christmas, Hydro 'points out the need to moderate the size of the lighting display as part of its conservation program. It has also adopted the slogan of "Off until 7 p.m., and off again at bedtime," regard- ing indoor and exterior light- ing displays for homes, stores and offices. Hydro does not anticipate a problem in meeting winter power needs this year, but points out electric power consumption continues on a rising curve. Last winter, for instance, five al-time record peak demands were set in successive months. Any sav- ings along the way, such as with Christmas displays, help to keep these increases more moderate. Gardens Pee Wees in Slump Hampton Gardens Minor Pee Wees continued in their slump over the weekend, losing two games. On Saturday, Nov. 6th, they bad Markham visit the Bow- manville arena and the score ended Markham 4, Bowman- vilie 2.

On Sunday, the Hampton Gardens boys went to Oshawa to play the Leafs in an exhibition at the beautiful Donevan complex. Leafs scored twice in the first period/ and once more early in the second before we scored our only goal of the game. Tim Preston scored the goal with assists going to Ruass Lipop and Steve Taylor.
