While away last week, the Mitchell's had been looking for ideas and colour schemes for refurbishing the building. According to Mrs. Mitchell, the structure that fell will be rebuilt and the remaining portions of the upper structure will be inspected and repaired if necessary. Mrs. Cawker told the Star, as she stood amidst the rubble, people were poking their heads out of windows and doors to see what had happened. "A lady from the "°° Cold Cut Centre came over and got me and fixed my. hand," she said. "l was a very lucky person, but I'm afraid more might come down," Mrs. Cawker said. "It was an awful experience." Township work crews fenced off the area with barracades and cleared the area a couple of hours after the incident occurred. Barrels were placed around the buildings until the following day when the winds subsided. Although insurance will. cover the damage to the " building and a car that was parked along the roadside, an estimate of the amount of damage was unavailable at press time Monday.

Report rules out any Scugog dump expansion There will be no expansion of the garbage dump in Scugog Township. Durham Region council last week accepted a report from a consulting geologist that the soil in the 100 acre proposed expansion area to the west of the existing dump is not suitable for landfill purposes. However, with the existing dump on Regional Road 8 just west of Port Perry expected to be filled within the next five years, Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor wanted to know what plans Durham Region has for an alternative site for Township garbage disposal. Durham's commissioner of public works Bill Twelvetrees told Mayor Taylor .at the council meeting last week that presently the Region has no plans for another dump site in Scugog, but by 1990, Durham will be looking for.a major dump up to 400 acres to handle garbage from all over the Region. Mr. Twelvetrees said there has been no serious search for a site this size. Mayor Taylor is concerned that when the existing Scugog site is filled, Township residents could end up paying more for garbage disposal if the trash has to be hauled to a dump site several miles away. Scales have been installed at the existing Scugog dump in an effort to extend its life expectancy, and once these scales have been certified, commercial garbage collectors from outside Scugog will be charged. The Region has negotiated a temporary dump site in North Whitby at the Heber Downs Conservation area for use in 1984, but this must first get approval through environmental hearings. As for the proposed expansion to the Scugog dump, Durham Region took out an option to purchase 100 acres immediately to the west, and hired -the geological consulting firm of Gartner Lee fissodidtess which carried out a series of tests last month. According to a report from The same area of the building after the wind blew the centre section over is the consultants, the results of those tests indicate "'land- filling on this property would likely contaminate the hydrogeologic environment off-site with leachate. "Collection of this leachate by an engineered system does 'not appear to be feasible," says the report. The report concludes by saying that "approval for landfilling would be difficult to obtain under present regulations." Eye donors needed Many people with cornea damage may have their sight restored through transplant operations. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind asks you to fill in an eye donor card for the Eye Bank of Canada. Blind- ness is everyone's concern. an mn he Lin Omni sb. lt mang, om
