Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, July 31, 1992 ~ 7 _4a LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Idea to end landfill sites, garbage crisis...forever? FROM PAGE 6 as a private business with finan- cial incentives from various levels of government, or as a municipal- ly owned corporation. The long term mouvaton would be profit by selling reclaimed material or charging other communiues for off-loading this segment of waste Another example: Community "Y" might be strong on compost- ing and could create a state of the art composung centre for large urban areas. The end result would be organic fertilizer fog sale throughout the GTA. Another company might wish to specialize in fine papers or dld phone books. They might make a deal with those who distribute the new phone books and at the same ume pick up the old ones Another one might deal just with old tires, el, ew The program would be open 0 all the communiues by Township through the various regions, first directed at those needing most 10 improve, their economic base and increase employment. All munici- palities might appoint steering committees from local business leaders and citizens groups active in these issues. Committee reps would elect a board of directors to sct up the system and recommend appropriate changes to the law. Incenuve programs could be set up. An annual GTA "Waste Not Fesuval" to award achieve- ment in waste reduction tech- mques. This would maintain spir- ited competition amang the van- ous segments of the communiues 10 keep working to improve the system and its components. A pro- gram to employ people now on welfare could be included. Disappointed in West Best coverage To the editor: I am writing this letter to show my disappointment towards the coverage of the 'West Best' con- test during Festival Days. | was very discouraged not to find any results in the papers last week. hen I called the offices 1d*find out "why?" I was told it would be covered the next week (edi- tor's note: 1 15) I reahze everyone has a lot to do for Fesuval Days and there is a lot 10 cover, however, if they would have cut down on some of the coverage and pictures of the Mutt Show, there would have been plenty of room for pictures (or at least results) of these peo- ple who raised money for the community. Most' people | talked to didn't even know what this contest was all about. This brings me to believe that if there were more coverage of this, maybe next year more people would get involved and raise double the money that was raised this year The winners ¢should have received their trophies downtown in front of the post office where they could have been recognized for their efforts. Sometimes 1t 1s difficult raising money in these hard times. Do you realize a baby raised over $500 alone for the hospital, and in total, over $2,000 raised? To me, these totals for « our community mean a lot more than pictares of dogs and cats which didn't raise a thing for town except fun. Don't get me wrong, 1 enjoy the Muu Show too, but couldn't they have shared the coverage so both events were covered equal- ly? After all, this contest was also a pan of the fesuviues (although I feel it went unnoticed) and our hospital is benefiting from at! Next year I will give it a lot more consideration as to whether to be involved in it again or not. J. Lane, Lindsay. P.S. Congratulations to the winners and all parucipants for a job well done! Is this what they call splitting hairs? To the editor: Recently, I had my hair cut behind a "his" door at a local hair shop. "Hers" in on the other door I expected and received a very sausfactory haircut from Ed the barber which Took about 20 min- utes. Later that same day, word came back to me that Ed had inad- vertently charged me $11 instead of the $14 I would have paid behind the "hers" door. When | returned wo the shop to pay the dif ference, the recepuonist declined 10 take the $3, but explained that the business 1s managed as two separate cstablishments. In order 10 avoid cutung into each other's business, they charge the going rate for the other shop. Also, my husband, who has always had a bigger head than mine, would be charged S11 behind the "hers" door. Is this where the,expression "splitting hairs" comes from? Judy Latta, Port Perry. VOLOR =SALE A major problem would be un- sorted waste. In this matter, there could regulations in place so a user-pay system would apply to' un-sorted waste. You pay a penal- ty for tossing away un-sorted garbage and that money would fund a fabour-intensive sorting operation If an incentive based program modeled after the entrepreneurial mass production system was initi- ated to divide the waste stream into many small segments, mou- «vated minds would attack the problem and we would be out of the current crisis mode. The whole strategy of having a network of many specialized recy- cle and re-use companies is dynamic and open to innovation. It will adapt with changing requirements and evolve into a better structure, just like the mass production systems that spawned the current waste crisis. This is only the sced of an idea. I would be the first to admit that much more thought needs to go into the overall plan, but that 100 would be dealt with on a much broader base once imuated. The important thing 1s to get a starting point and convince you, ° Honourable Ruth Grier, that an approach like this will bring you many more friends than you have enemies. And with all that posiuve ener- gy. the plan cannot fail William A. Lishman, RR 1, Blackstock. (PH COPRS| port parry printing 201 NORTH STREET 755 YW (o] |W nlord, USED CARS for less than $12,000.
