And the study concludes that the facilities (indoor pool, second ice pad,-banquet hall, squash courts and fitness room) are "very much in-demand (in Scugog) and both capital (con- struction) and on-going (operat- ing) costs are within the ability . ofthe Township to undertake." The lengthy and detailed- report of some 80 pages was pre- pared for the Township by the Ottawa consulting firm of Ses- quaig Inc. Township council received the report in draft form two weeks ago, and the final report Monday evening. Council took no action with the report, other than to receive it.

Mr. Cawker was Garbage deal with Metro could dump Durham Region and Metro Toronto have finally reached an agreement to share a new land- fill (garbage dump) in Durham. Jo ft a deal that could bring "Durham Region mniore than $260 million in net revenues over the five year life span of the dump known as P1 in rural Pickering when (and if) the dump opens on January 1, 1992 as planned. And Metro will pay Dur- ham $20 million immediately, plus a further $21 million cash when the dump gets final ap- proval from the Environment Ministry. Tipping fees paid by Metro for each tonne of garbage will add at least another $200 mil- lion to Regional coffers, once the dump is operational. But in exchange for all that cash, Durham will allow Metro to dump 4.6 million tonnes of Metro trash at the landfill be- tween 1992 and 1996. The dump will also take 1.4 million tonnes of Durham gar- bage over the same five year pe- riod. It's a complicated deal that took some 16 months of negotia- tions between Durham and Me- tro. And even though the deal has been approved by both sides, there is no guarantee the dump will open on January 1, 1992, if ever. Citizen groups from Picker- ing and from the tiny hamlet of Whitevale where the dump site is located have vowed to fight the dump on two fronts: at envi- ronmental hearings, and through the courts on the grounds such a massive dump in their back-yards infringes basic rights under Canada's Charter. And the council from the town of Pickering is opposed to the dump as well. When the agreement was put to a vote in front of Regional council last ~ $250 million into Durham's coffers week, Pickering councillors cast in the negative. But the agreement re- ceived wide Sprott from other regional councillors, including Scugog Mayor Howard Hall and councillor Yvonne Christie. "It is a good deal for the Re- gion," said Mayor Hall after the agreement was ratified by coun- cil last Wednesday afternoon. Without Metro's involve- ment financially, Durham would be faced with the pros- pect of opening the Whitevale site on its own at a cost estimat- ed between $40 and $50 million. Turn to Page 4 three year clearance The Blackstock Arena has passed a structural inspection with flying colours. The building has received certification for another three ears, according to a letter to ownship council. The engineering firm of J. E. Doubt and Associates of Co- bourg conducted the inspection May 2. The letter says there is no evidence of deterioration in the roof truss structure, supporting columns and masonry walls. But the engineers warn there is considerable corrosion of the steel reinforcement of the trusses. To stop the rusting, they recommend that all steep parts be scraped with a wire brush to remove rust and scalings, then re-painted with a primer.
