2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 27, 1990 Zero Garbage has noplans to dis-band From Page 1 and withdraw from all matters related to landfill." And he said he doesn't be- lieve the two potential sites in Ward 4 could end up on a list for possible GTA landfill because the Ward 4 sites "are too small," and the NDP policy has been not to use prime farmland for landfill sites. A site of just 400 acres, he said, would be filled with Metro Toronto garbage in about four years. Scugog Regional councillor Yvonne Christie, a member of the "Durham Waste Manage- ment Committee, said that while she is pleased Durham is out of the site selection process, there are still numerous con- cerns about waste manage- ment. There is always the possi- bility that the Province could re-designate any of the five Dur- ham sites, including those in Ward 4. "There is nothing to say they can't be re-designated, but my feeling is that they (the sites in Ward 4) are not large enough for GTA purposes." She also expressed concern over long-range waste manage- ment procedures. Local municipalities might end up shouldering the costs of expensive waste reduction plans like recycling, etc., while the province and/or the GTA could end up operating landfills that have the potential to gener- ate large amounts of revenue in tipping fees. Ward 4 councillor Glen Malcolm said he is still very much concerned about the sites in Ward 4. "Will the province turn around and re-designate those sites" he questioned. He said he feels a measure of relief that Durham is out of the process (site selection) but he added that Zero Garbage Committee should continue to prepare for any eventuality. What has local politicians and Zero Garbage members jit- tery is the portion of Grier's an- nouncement last week that a new "public service authority" will be set upimmediately. "This authority will work as a co-operative venture be- tween the province and the Re- gional municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). I will assign responsibility to the authority to search for and se- lect a waste disposal site," said 3. Stuck for what to give him for Christmas?

She went on to say "this site will be subject to approval un- der the revised Environmental Assessment Act.

The Minister pledged new initiatives in three R programs and new methods to reduce waste to landfill by 25 per cent by 1992. Materials such as wood and Bitter The president of the Toron- to/Peterborough Passenger Rail Association is bitter and angry over the province's announce- ment to provide GO bus service, rather than GO-Trains. Paul Pagneulo, who has campaigned doggedly to have commuter rail service restored from Peterborough to Toronto, termed Monday's announce- ment "deceitful." And he said commuters who live from Peterborough to Port Perry just may turn their backs on the GO bus service. "We had been looking for train service (restored) by Janu- ary 1. We are very disappointed with the decision. It is certainly not what we read in (NDP lead- er) Bob Rae's election state- ments. It was GO-train, not GO bus service," said Pagnuelo. He made the comments late Monday afternoon after Ontario transport minister Ed Philip announced in the Legis- lature that GO buses would serve Peterborough, Port Perry and other communities, start- ing February 1. The Passenger Association has been lobbying for GO Train service on the Toronto/ Peterborough line abandoned Dress to Impress!

While recognizing that there is a "crisis" in waste man- agement, the Minister went on to say that the Environmental Assessment Act will be changed to streamline the process and reduce the costs. And existing near-capacity dumps in Durham and Metro may be extended, if necessary. This includes the Metro operat- last January by VIA Rail. Scugog commuters were served on that line with stops in Burketon and Myrtle. Pagnuelo said the Passen- ger Association has no choice but to continue to fight for com- muter rail service.

Ms. Grier said that with stringent new Three R pro- grams, the proposed interim dump at Whitevale for Metro and Durham garbage will not be necessary. over GO-Bus I guess we'll just have to contin- ue the battle," he said. As recently as two weeks ago, Pagnuelo and members of the Association had meetings with transport minister Philip, and came away optimistic the NDP government would come through on its election cam- paign pledge to restore commut- er train service to these areas. Ice on roads causes mishaps Regional Police officers in 26 Division were kept hopping last Friday morning as there were 15 motor vehicle acci- dents, most of them caused by slippery road conditions. The accidents took place in both Scugog and Uxbridge Townships, and several were roll-overs. Staff Sgt. Bill Vandole- weerd said several of the vehi- cles were "complete write-offs," others sustained heavy dam- age, and he estimated the total damage in one morning could easily top $100,000. And he said it's a miracle there were no fatalities. Except in one case, injuries were de- scribed as minor. The driver of one car which rolled over near Uxbridge had to be transferred to St. Mi- chael's Hospital in Toronto. Black ice on the roads was the reason given for the rash of accidents that morning.
