Three people arrested Three people were arrested and more than 50 charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act as a result of police activity in Caesarea on the weekend. According to Durham Region- al Police, vehicle checks were set up in Caesarea over the weekend following reports of a large party planned at the Para- dice Riders clubhouse. Sandy Ryrie, media relations officer for Durham Regional Po- lice, said that although the par- ty proved to be "no real problem" and "little incident" there were three arrests made. Brian Needham, 26, and Syl- vie Gaudreau, 29, both of Lon- don, Ontario, were charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana. Mr. Needham was also charged with breech of reconnaisance. The name of the third person arrested was not available at press time. Sgt.

Council made the decision during a meetingon June 10. Seventeen sites were named in Durham Region by the Inter- im Waste Authority (IWA) on June 4. Five sites are in the Township of Scugog. Two are in Blackstock and three on High- way 12, south of Manchester. The IWA is seeking a long- term site for a landfill site. One will be located in Peel, one in Metro/York and one in Durham. But the councillors have de- cided to reserve judgement on the sites until a short list of sites is announced in 90 days time. The IWA expects to cut the number of sites down to be- tween four and six by Septem- ber. "There's no sense in spinning a lot of wheels until] there is a shortlist," Chairman Gary Her- rema said. In the meantime, Chairman Herrema says the region will be discussing the situation with the Region of York and Metro- politan Toronto, where 19 sites were named. Chairman Herrema also said they will encourage the IWA to announce the sites as quickly as possible. "Tremendous anxiety exists when you name sites," he says. "Neighbors would like to see it announced quickly to end ques- tions." John Aker, chairman of the Works Committee, echoed Chairman Herrema's senti- ments. "We want these sites reduced as soon as possible because it's unfair to have this anxiety hangingover their heads." Mr. Aker said they wouldn't issue a formal statement on the issue for at least 90 days. But it was agreed by council that there was a need to be united on the is- sue instead of battling against each other. "We should let them (the IWA) go through the process un- til they get down to two or three sites, then go at them. Then we can swing into gear," said New- castle Mayor Diane Hamre. Despite postponing a formal decision, Chairman Herrema was still critical of the selection of the 17 sites, particularly the five in Scugog. "They said they were not talk- ing about farmland, then they took Manchester and Black- stock," he said. Chairman Herrema was par- ticularly upset that Peter Hef- fering's Hanover Hills Farms near Manchester was named. He says the best cattle in the world are being bred on that farm. As a result of the IWA's deci- sion, Chairman Herrema says they find the choices ridiculous. "We're laughing at them and it's unfortunate that you have to laugh at them," he said. "It's ob- vious Mrs. Grier (Environment Minister) doesn't live in rural Ontario." When it comes down to nam- ing the short list of sites, he be- lieves three sites will be left on the table including the Laidlaw site in Newcastle and the P1 site in Whitevale, both existing landfill sites. He would not spec- ulate on the third site." Letters io the editor Wide open development To the Editor: The Ontario Government through the IWA has declared about 33 per cent of Scugog (or about 66 per cent of the GTA) to be in the urban shadow for a landfill site. Urban shadow means in transition from rural to urban, Scugog's now wide open for development. Develop- ers, now is your chance, a senior level of government (Ontario) takes precedence over the Re- gional Official Plan. Local coun- cils cannot object to any devel- opment in the urban shadow, lets get moving, subdivide the farms, build the estate lots, build all those projects that were held up by the official plan. The Ontario government has just given the go ahead for wide open development, unless the urban shadow designation is only for a dump site. Sincerely, Colin L.
