TTT RRS ENTTTTTTIRR Tees Township residents urged fo participate during Pitch-In Week The mild weather we ex- perienced has melted much of the snow in Scugog Township but has left behind a revealing picture of all the garbage that has collected in parks, streets and open spaces over the winter. That makes it the perfect time to start thinking about cleaning up our community and the 1st An- nual Pitch-In Week campaign in Scugog Township. Pitch-In Week is May 7 - 13 this year and the Township Parks Department is co-ordinating the project. The idea is very simple: Pitch-In and clean-up the area where you live or play. The pro- ject began 11 years ago and is a Canada-wide event in which Guides, Brownies, Scouts, Schools and Service Clubs have shown a commitment. This year the Township Parks Department is also involved through sponsorship and publicity. This year is the first year that the campaign is asking people to separate recyclable materials from garbage destined for land- fill. The 1990 bags will have boxes to check to indicate what type of recyclables are inside. Recycling INSURANCE BROKERS LIMITED 193 QUEEN ST., PORT PERRY, ONT.

Last year over 3500 organiza- tions in Ontario applied to par- ticipate in the project. Such en- thusiasm throughout the province created a shortage of the special Pitch-In Week garbage bags. This year if your group fails to secure the special bags simply call the Township Parks Department (985-4360) or the Pitch-In Co- ordinator (985-9250) and bags as well as recycling boxes will be allocated. Keeping the environment clean is important. Our Township clean- up will help to impress on both children and adults the amount of waste which is disposed of im- properly and even though clean- ing up is important, educating people is more important. Your group can help our Community by volunteering as little time as a half an hour. Consider an evening Pitch-In Event or join us Satur- day, May 12 for a large scale clean-up or a beautification pro- ject for the Township. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 27, 1990 -- 11 Durham's dump deal turns sour (From page 1) negotiations, the deal -- dubbed the sweetheart deal because it is expected to line Durham coffers with $251- million -- may be in jeopardy, the chairman said. Durham is preparing a new plan in case Metro de- cides to take the bat and ball and go home, or doesn't want to play hardball by the rules, the chairman said. "We have a (proposed) agreement with Metro and we are developing a plan B at the same time," Chairman Herrema told reporters. The plan, which involves offering the site to the other regions in the Greater To- ronto Area Garbage Authori- ty, will be presented to Dur- ham councillgys next week, he said. "It's a matter of finance," the chairman said, adding that Durham will have to find an alternative way to fi- nance the dump and turning to York, Peel and Halton re- gions may be one solution. Although Chairman Her- rema and other Durham councillors stated that the deal is in jeopardy, Metro works chairman Paul Chris- tie told reporters that he thought the two sides could iron out the wrinkles in the deal. Mr. Christie arrived unex- pectedly at Durham Head- quarters late Thursday af- ternoon to talk to Chairman Herrema about problems in the deal. He informed reporters that officials from both sides had talked 10 days earlier and agreed on a deal. "Everybody shook hands assuming we had a deal," Mr. Christie said. When the Metro works chairman found out there was a problem he travelled to Durham to speak with Chairman Herrema. After their conversation, Mr. Christie still felt confi- dent that a deal between the two regions would be signed. Neither Mr. Christie, oth- er Metro councillors or Dur- ham councillors have seen the final legal agreement yet. Only the lawyers who drafted the agreement have seen it. Both sides agreed to bring the legal document to their councillors and resi- dents at the same time. Although Mr. Christie had not seen the document, he said he understood the prob- lem with the agreement was one of "legal niceties." "It could be a matter of context, how Durham might invite Metro to put that mon- ey forward," he said. "Nobody wants to strike a deal that winds up having people litigate immediately because of the legal techni- calities," Mr. Christie said. Ifthe two regions decide to dump the deal, Durham will have no place to stash its trash until the Whitevale siteisready in 1992. As part of the deal, Metro agreed to leave the Brock West site in Pickering to al- low Durham to dump there until the interim site opened.
