Discussion about region waste FROM PAGE 10 cillors if the Region would be receiving the rebate in 1989 since regional council decided not to cooperate with Metro in the search for an interim. landfill site. He said Metro is talking about raising its tipping fees to $85 a ton. Herrema has indicated the waste task force is to aike its decision on an interim landfill location by March 1. Lnterest in new plaza The southeast corner of Ross- land and Garden Sts will be a beehive of activity in the year to come with the construction of what will be known as the Whitby Municipal Centre Plaza. Morry Weiner, of the First Gulf Group, the developer build- ing the plaza, said that there are ongoing negotiations with several businesses for space in the facility. "The National Bank of Canada, a convenience store, a video operation, a hair salon, and others have shown interest (in retail space)," he said. The developer is also looking to engage men's and ladies' clo- thing retailers, a fish and chips rpstaurant, and a home supplies (wallpaper) store. Names of~pro- spective businesses were not given because of negotiations. Weiner said that second floor. space will be leased for business offices. "The unique thing is at the second floor, we will have walk- in offices, with no outside cor- ridor. Each office will be com- pletey furnished, a turn-key deal," he said. . The "landlord" will maintain the office and business space to suit. "We are doing this because the plaza is targeted to smaller retail operations. We're offering a package that you (the retailer or business) don't have to worry about financing,"he concluded. Homemakers get funding By Debbie Luchuk With an announcement by Community and Social Services Minister John Sweeney last week, the Red Cross Homemaker Service, along with six other non profit services will have its defi- cit covered to ensure another year of operation. The deficit for the next year of operation will also be covered by the Province. The Red Cross Homemakers Service has a projected deficit of $1.1 million for 1988-89. Provin- cial intervention to cover the deficit has kept the service from discontinuing in June of 1989. "It's a start, but there are many other issues to be addressed, such as wages and benefits," said Homemaker Ser- vice director for the Durham Red Cross, Cathy Maw. Maw said that homemakers are underpaid, and have no benefits; homemakers do not have paid travel time; most of their work, especially in ur- ham. is rurally based: and they are not paid f6r in service train- mng. "We are quite pleased, but we would like to reinforce that this is just a beginning," she said, adding that the Durham Red Cross Homemakers are hopeful that these longterm issues will be addressed by the provincial government in a promised pro- vincial study over the next year. In his announcement last week, Sweeney said, "This fund- ing will ensure the Red Cross and other organizations offering homemaking services can con- tinue to do so. However, there are a number of long tern issues affecting homemakers services which must be dealt with. My ministry, the Ministry of Health, and other ministries of govern- ment are committed to address- in those issues." The Red Cross Homemaker Service provides more than four million hours of homemaking per year and it accounts for 70 per cent of homemaking services in rural Ontario.
