20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, January 30, 1990 About 350,000 tons of gar- bage is created in Durham Re- gion each year. How this waste will be man- aged in the future was the topic of discussion at a public meet- ing Wednesday. e meeting was hosted by the newly formed Public Liai- son Committee (PLC) who are working with regional consul- tants, MacLaren Engineers, to devise a Durham Region Waste Management Master Plan in search of a Durham-only solu- tion to the garbage crisis. About 45 Scugog Township residents attended the meeting held at the Port Perry High School. Jon Read of MacLaren Engi- neers told Scugog Township residents that there are two possible scenarios. The first scenario assumes that Durham and Metro share a landfill site (probably in the Hamlet of Whitevale) from 1992 to 1996. After the shared site closes, the region opens a long-term Durham-only site. The second senario assumes that the GTA contingency plans are not put in place or are not utilized by Durham Region. Durham will have to manage its garbage from the years 1992 to 2016. Mr. Read explained that Ma- BOB BROWN Plumbing" 3 Generations in DURHAM REGION cLaren Engineers and the PLC are not involved in the GTA ne- tiations, but are working on inding a Durham-only solu- tion. He told the residents a land- fill site will always be needed no matter how much waste is re- duced or removed from the waste stream. "Even incineration can't burn everything," Mr. Read said. "And a landfill site is needed for the ashes and when the inciner- ator is down for repairs." Durham passed a bylaw in August 1988, committing the region to 26 per cent waste di- version by 1992, and 50 per cent by the year 2000. Mr. Read said MacLaren engineers took these objectives into account when se- lecting possible methods of waste management. The methods were short- listed to three technologies, all which included recycling, Mr. Read said. The three choices include landfill only; landfill coupled with a small energy from waste EFW plant that separates recy- the site needed for the Durham- only solution will be between 120 to 140 hectares. He explained to the residents how a landfill site is selected. "The object of the site selec- tion process is to ensure that a site is selected which can be de- veloped in a safe cost effective manner, with a low degree of impact on the natural and hu- man environment," Mr. Read told the residents. "At what time do residents find out that their property or neighboring property has been selected as a candidate site," a concerned citizen asked Mr. Read. He said MacLaren Engineers should have the candidate sites chosen by May. The consultants will then present their findings Public learns how future waste to be managed to Durham's waste manage- ment committee. The public will then be informed of which sites have been selected. During the gummer, MacLar- en Engineer will do detailed field work on the candidate sites. By fall, a site and a pre- ferred method of waste manage- ment will be decided upon, Mr. Read said. Scugog Township residents will get another chance to voice their questions and add theirin- put to the selection process at a meeting March 21. The meeting will held at 7:30 p.m. in the Port Perry High School cafeteria and will be hosted by the PLC. MacLaren Engineers will be present to give a detailed up- date and answer questions.

So it was no surprise when my toes cramped vw inside my skates Saturday afternoon. Clay came to my aid (in oth- er goede, he let me hang on to him while | wallowed in pain. But it isn't his action towards me that make him such a fine fellow. It's how he treats everyone. He'd do anything for anyone and he often watches out for the little guy. : it was at the outdoor skating rink Saturday that | really noticed this trait of his. , ; A small boy about eight years old was having a bad time of it. Try as he would, the boy just couldn't skate and all the Sher i he was playing tag with found him to be an easy arget. He kept complaining to his mother that his skates weren't tight enough, but she said she couldn't get them any tight- er. Clay, just sick with heartache for the poor little fellow, of- fered to try getting his laces a little tighter. After lacing up the left skate, he told the boy to "give that a whirl." | The look on that child's face was priceless as he started skating around -- still not perfectly but definitely an improve- ment could be seen. He immediately skated back to Clay and said: "Can ya do the other one, mister?" Clay, of course, obliged and the two of them skated into the sunset. (Meanwhile, my toes are still cramping. | think my skates were too tight.) Yes, my boyfriend is a klutz, but | love him just the same. Set the mood for Valentine's Day with Music ...
