According to IWA officials, the long list will contain ap- proximately 10 to 20 sites. Al- though he is a little concerned with the number of sites, he says it indicates that they are trying to be fair about the se- lection. "The more sites cho- sen, the fairer it is." Area councillor Marilyn Pearce echoed councillor Chris- tie's remarks concerning the duplication of the process, claiming "nothing is different from the last time." Adding that all the public was going to see was a re-working of work which has already been done. Councillor Pearce says un- less the public gets involved with the process at the begin- ning, nothing will be much dif- ferent from the last time. But should the public be involved from the start, they could ulti- mately choose the best site by expressing their concerns and eliminating sites. Mayor Howard Hall also could not see much radically different from the last report. Although he says the public consultation process is "great," he believes it won't accomplish much. "I don't care where you put it, not everybody is going to like it." He says the people whose area in which it is locat- ed will feel they were not lis- tened to. Mayor Hall says the only plus over this document as op- posed to the last is that it out- lines a much more comprehen- sive site selection process. He says the end result will be that the IWA will have backing to prove that the site has been chosen fairly. "Nobody wants the site, but if technically it proves to be the best location, then I don't know how people can fight it." Bill Lishman, chairman of Zero Garbage/Scugog, doesn't support the notion that the lat- est report is a copy of the previ- ous document. He says the IWA has "done its homework and is treading softly to avoid errors from the previous re- port." Mr. Lishman says the present report is "starting three steps further back" and involving the public a lot soon- er. He supports the idea of get- ting the public involved, as it will "provide more creative in- ONE DAY ONLY Stove, Chimneys, Fireplaces Fireplace Stove put and establish a better solu- tion." "The more people that have input, the better." He is critical of a landfill site, however. He says there are other methods for garbage disposal than "sticking it in the ground," and believes the gov- ernment should research alter- natives. Zero Garbage held a meeting of the executive on Sunday to review the document and dur- ing this meeting drafted a let- ter to be sent to both IWA and M.M. Dillon Ltd., the two agen- cies involved in the search pro- cess, to express their concerns. This 12-point letter asked for a clearer definition on a number of points and ques- tioned the selection process. Among its concerns were a clearer definition of an "urban shadow"; why water recharge zones and the Kawartha wa- tershed are not included in the screening process; the timeta- ble for biology, soil, archaeolog- ical, and hydrogeological as- sessments; the timetable for the consideration of highwa routes; and the public consul- tation process after the short list is developed. This letter has been forward- ed to Gary Komar, project manager, Durham Landfill Site Search, and Jim Joe, pro- gram advisor, at IWA. No matter what the replies are, Zero Garbage will not sup- port the idea of a landfill site in Scugog. Mr. Lishman says "we would do everything we could to retard a landfill site in Scu- gog." Local woman starts petition calling for capital punishment A local woman has begun a petition calling for the rein- statement of capital punish- ment. Tracey Picard, a Port Perry native, told the Port Perry Star Friday that she has begun to circulate a petition calling for the reinstatement of capital punishment for those convicted of crimes against children. This is in response to the death of Kayla Klaudusz. The petition states "Kayla wasn't allowed to live, her kill- er shouldn't be able to live ei- ther." Ms. Picard is hoping to gath- er "thousands of signatures." She says not only will she, along with the help of volun- teers, be going door-to-door so- liciting signatures, but copies of the petition will be available for signing at various locations throughout Port Perry, includ- ing Ives Florist. Ms. Picard says she feels strongly about this cause as she sympathizes with the Klau- dusz family. She has a niece and nephew around Kayla's age. After gathering the signa- tures she will send them to the Toronto Sun which has started its own campaign. She is hop- Vermont Castings, Elmira, Heritage, Lakewood Everything Reduced at least 10% TRACEY PICARD ing to gather 5,000 signatures. ."I hope very strongly that enough people take a stand," she said.
