These two gentlemen are on the committee that is responsible for choosing the waste disposal sites in Durham, York and Peel Regions. We learned that On Saturday, February 2th, the students of Trish Scholz, who is teaching baton twirling, met at the hall. Examinations were held, and all passed. The parents and students would like to express their gratitude te Trish for ai the work she has put into training them. Normally some of the mothers are able te be there te help with the girls, but the month before exams none were available, and Trish did the work by herself. Good work Trish, it certainly is nice to sec that there is someone who is interested in the children.

Originally a long list of 57 sites was published and last Fal a short list was published listing 16 sites.

Another mandate of the I.W.A. is to recommend generous compensation for the surrounding landowners and anyone else who may be adversely affected by the location of the landfill site in their area. Mr. Pitman told the Lions that his commission deals with thousands of letters and phone calîs as well as attending numerous presentations throughout the area to make people aware of the situation. He also made it clear that is office is available to help any group or individual opposed to a particular site make their case. Mr. delot then explained the complicated process that is u sed by the I.W.A. to select the sites in the first place.
