November .10.1988 United Way Needs $40,000 The 1988 United Way campaign has reached 99 per cent of its objective and will continue to accept those last- minute contributions which may push the total over the top.

That's about $40,000 short of the goal. . Volunteers celebrated the conclusion conclusion of the campaign with a "touchdown" "touchdown" party held at Elusions in Oshawa. The event was emceed by the campaign's publicity director, Rob Owens. In order to go over the top, organizers organizers are keeping the campaign open to raise the last $40,000. They are appealing appealing to anyone who may still wish to contribute. It's not too late. Many new initiatives were introduced introduced into the campaign this year. These included more training of volunteers, volunteers, expansion of the donor base, and a new overall structure for the organization. organization.

Despite the presence of numerous consultants and dozens of charts, maps, and graphs, Helen MacDonald, MacDonald, from Citizens for a Safe Environment, Environment, clearly was not impressed.

Incurs Extra Charges Newcastle Town Council plans to ay Browning-Ferris Industries 9,623.88 because of the added costs it incurred during the 1988 spring garbage garbage clean-up. The decision was made after council council received a report on the matter from the director of public works, Walter Evans. The report said that BFI had contacted contacted the Town requesting that the Town pay a portion of the tipping fees ($11,015.47) and one-third of the labour labour costs ($2,711.60) related to the refuse refuse they collected during spring clean-up week. In a letter addressed to Chief Administrative Administrative Officer Lawrence Kot- seff, Wilf Goldlust, district manager for BFI, said there had been a misunderstanding misunderstanding regarding the spring clean-up collection. Householders placed some articles at the curb that would not normally be collected. However, town staff explained explained in a report that the contractor felt it was in the best interest of everyone everyone to collect what was left curbside. The amount BFI was seeking from the Town for added services during that week was $19,247.75. Mr. Evans told council that he felt the price of $9,623.88, represented a 50/ 50 compromise and was the best rec ommendation he could make. He said he felt the original contract between the Town and BFI was not totally totally clear. Mr. Evans said BFI claims the dost of spring clean-up was never included included in the contract for collecting trash from Orono, Orono Estates ana Newcastle Newcastle Village. BFI, however, provided the cleanup cleanup and never billed the Town for the extra collection. The cost increased when BFI collected collected in Bowmanville and it was at that time, Mr. Evans says, that they felt the Town should pay the extra Mr. Evans said he felt the compromise compromise was fair. Councillor Hamre, on the other hand, disagreed. She said that the contract with BFI,* the company which holds the contract for collecting municipal garbage, had been worded the same as it always always had been. She said she felt that by giving the company the extra money, other firms with contracts with the town will come back to the municipality with similar requests. The recommendation that BFI be paid half of the the total cost passed by a vote of 5-1. Councillor Hamre voted against the recommendation. Bits and Pieces LAST ROUND UP -- Two major campaigns in the area are nearing completion and are still below their objectives. There is an announcement elsewhere on this page saying that the United Way campaign still needs around $40,000 to reach its goal. So, anyone who has not yet contributed is urged to do so as soon as possible. A meeting for the fund-raising committee committee for the new Recreation Complex was slated for last night when, no doubt, head man Garnet Rickard will ask for ideas and effort to finish off that drive that is close to what originally was anticipated. We should have more on that one next week. SKATEBOARDERS GET THE BOOT -- We note that some action has finally been taken to have the skateboarders prohibited from using the town hall as a playground. Now, we will wait and see how well it will be enforced. Yesterday we watched a young lad tear up and down the sidewalks on King Street West on a motorcycle. Not too bright! Seems the days are gone when parents would have cuffed their kids up the side of the head for pulling these stunts. And while we're crabbing, what's going to be done about the congestion and parking problems in the downtown downtown core? Ah yes, it must be the festive season.
