Province Needs to Find Other Options --Transfer Station Cost at $49.5 Million-- The Durham Region is balking at provincial provincial demands for construction of a $49.5 million trash transfer station. Durham's elected officials learned from their consultants last week that their waste transfer station would cost more than double earlier estimates. As a result, the Durham Region is calling for the province of Ontario to consider other possibilities. The transfer station is a large building into which, garbage tnicks from across the Durham Region would deposit their cargo. At the station, the trash would be transferred to larger vehicles which would haul the garbage to the Keele Valley landfill site. The transfer station is expected to be built at die Brock West landfill operation operation in Pickering ~ a dump which is scheduled to close due to a lack of capacity capacity in a matter of a few years. Newcastle's Ward One Regional Councillor, Larry Hannah, said this week that the cost of constructing the ' new trash terminal could be a "disaster for the Durham Region." "We're not making any capital expenditures expenditures on it. We want a meeting (with the Province) and we want to look at other options," he said. Councillor Hannah estimates dial the cost of disposing of a tonne of garbage would rise from the present rate of $38 per tonne to $50 per tonne once the transfer station is operating and trash is being shipped outside Durham Region. Transportation costs would amount, to a further $17 per tonne, Councillor Hannah Hannah says. Some of the other options might include include reconsidering the Durham Region's Region's proposed Whitevalc landfill site or reconsidering the disposal of garbage in a landfill operation in northern Ontario.

'üMtJ Bob Rae Wants Working Relationship for Labor, Business and Government -- f by Lotira J. tt&hVds i • Getting business, labjur "and govern- ment to work together mid moVc towards towards a strong economy is a challenge Premier Bob Rae is ready to meet. However, to do this the confrontation which goes on in Ontario has to stop. That's the message Premier Rae brought to a luncheon meeting of the Durham Region Manufacturers' Association on Sept. 19, in Oshawa. "There is too much confrontation in this province," said Mr. Rae "We will lose out if we don't get it together." All sides, he told his audience, need to realize that they play an important part in the province's economic renewal. "We are now bringing education, labor, labor, business and government together on the same team." This team approach will help focus on die creation of jobs. To help, more money should be spent on training, research research and development, the premier said. "We have unemployment levels that arc too high. We have nearly one mil- A'ir/.Ci .Ontarians who,now depend on soj- "litia!'assistance."- j o ■l). Also, for the first time! since thé . |jl930s, the amount of revenue taken in i /has begun to decline in Ontario. 1 j And it does not help the situation "when Canadian-made products end up. 'going south-of-the-border, he said. "So much of what we produce goes to the United States. And when their economy economy gets going -- takes off -- then Ontario's Ontario's economy will grow," Premier Rae told the manufacturers of Durham Region. "The turn around is not going to be as quick or as dramatic as some would like it to be," admitted Premier Rae. This is why all forces must work together, together, he added. Another reason is to ensure Ontario's place in the world economy. To do this, the New Democrats are fighting to get the province's operating expenses under control. "That is the message from our budget," budget," said Premier Rae, "We are determined determined to get the number down on our operating budget." " The 1991 spring budget for the province province rests at a $9.7 billibn deficit. "Operating costs must be brought under under control and I'm here to tell you it won't be easy." To ensure this happens, all programs and budgets for new programs are to undergo undergo thorough reviews and scrutiny. The new programs which the province province must look at involve the environment, environment, child care and long-term care for the aging population, said premier Rae. "We have to ensure that the new stuff that needs to be done gets done," he said. All of this depends on the major players in the province's econo;),iy: the government, ilabor and business. Cooperation Cooperation from the three groups is needed. needed. In describing the situation, Premier Rae told his audience, about two bucks who were entangled in each other's antlers: antlers: "If they don't get unstuck, they'll die together." However, he admitted, "it is hard for people to give up old habits." "There are no magic answers or magic magic solutions -- just hard work," Ontario's Ontario's premier said. United Way Sets $3,125,000 Goal This year's United Way Campaign for Oshawa-Whitby-Newcastlc has only been underway for one week. So, there's still plenty of distance yet to cover in order order to reach the $3,125,000 goal. Last year's charitable proceeds fell short of United Way expectations by $75,000, which meant that some community community agencies received less money than they were counting on. And, as Ron Duffy, executive director director with United Way,, points out: "This year's target will just cover the bare bones needs" of United Way member agencies. The United Way supports health and rehabilitation services for seniors, youth services and community services. It sponsors CPR training, literacy instruction, instruction, blood donor clinics and much, much,'more. A full 91 cents out of every dollar donated donated goes directly to the United Way member agencies. Over 40 such agencies benefit from United Way funds. The 500 canvassers who attended campaign kick-off celebrations last Wednesday arc now directly appealing to the community to be generous this year. Mr. Duffy will get the first status report report on campaign contributions collected collected so far, tomorrow morning, at a meeting meeting with chief canvassers at United Way headquarters in Oshawa. Citizens of Bowmanville and the Newcastle area can make contributions at the Community Care office, at 80 King Street West, in Bowmanville or through their regular United Way channels. channels.
