Durham Recyling closia operation November 31, The Durham Recyclîng Centre mnc., a non-profit organization which has been operating the collec- tion of recyclable items through the blue box prograrn and sorting and selling the items, has given notice of a iayoff to its 90 ta 100 emploce~s and the cessation of the operation as of November 30th.. Durham Recycing Centre mnc. has operated the blue box program in agreement with the Region of Durham since its inception and on a non-profit basis. The Region of Durham has provided funding of a capital nature and for some of the operation costs., In April of 1989 the Region of Durham did give notice ta Durham Recycling that they were ter- minating the agreement between the two parties wthin the period of one year. Since that tinte Durhamd Region has had the agreemrent ex- tended on at least two occasions. It does appear that the decision of the Durham Recycling Board has caught the Region of Durihamn.couin- cil by surprise. Durhamn Region may ask legal opinion as to the action of the board to the iayoffs and closing out of the operation. Members of the Recycling Board hias stated that it does require an eight week notification of a lavoif to the workers and that the Ministry of' Labour was informed of the ac- tion iast Friday. lit appears that two members of Regionai couincil were not presenit at a'meeting of September 27th when the move was inistituted to close out the operation. As such members of counicil are asking for a legal opinion as to the validity of the notices. It has been reported that 'a han- dout at the recent council meeting had sought an extension of the agreement by Durham Recycling to the end of Novemnber. Gary Herrema has stuggested that a special meeting of council miay be necessary. Garden Tig by Gord MilIS Start on the autumn biitz of cut- ting down fade border plants. Spreading this job over the next couple of weeks will save you hav- ing to do thte job in one iast- panic purge before the snow-cornes. -Bruised apples that will not store can be le'ft in 'the middle of the ilawn. They wiil make a great feast for the birds when food is short. Water the compost heap. It won't rot down properly if it'sdry, when you need crumbly brown material for digging in later. Keep an 'eye on the weather forecast. If frost is forecast bring under glass or into the house any tender plants that could be damag- ed. As a young teenager in Engiànd, 1 took part in the VE Day celebra- tions in London on May 8, 1945. It ws the noisiest night London had ever seen - or wiil ever see. H-laf a million people danced and sang, wept and prayed, in the cty streets in a spontaneous ýcelebration of the moment when war ended after six long years. And who, of ail those hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, couid possibiy forget it anyway. The evenîng of October i, once again filied me with the same euphoria that had gripped me on VE Day. On this occasion, athough not celebrating the end of the war, thousands also gathered in the sarne expression of joy. The Ontario Legisiature had been declared "open" to ail citizens of Ontario to comne and celebrate the swearing in of the new govern- ment. 1 doubt if the "Ledge'" had ever witnessed such crowds.- There were hundreds upon hundreds of people ail talking at the s-ame tirne, whiîe trying to juigged food and drinks, in one hand. The building was lterally wall to wali with peo- ple. The Peariy King and Queen were there. beting out loud aid favorites from England. There was a Ger- man band playing in one corner. In another corner, on the second floor, a steel band fromn the Carri- bean played on steel drums. Bands and music flourished everywhere, mostly piaying nostalgic tunes from' a by-gone era. It almost seemed as if one wanted to be reminded of the past on a night ail were iooking to the future. Many people had tears in their eyes. Many wept with the joy of the occasion. There were young married couples there, dlut- ching their chiidren, ail with a look of new beginnings in their eyes. there were elderly people there, who had strugglecl to raise families in times of hardship. There were street people, staring in awe at the paintings of former Ontario's Premier's. There were people who neyer in their lives believed that they could cone into the building, yetalone made to feel welcome. An an era marked by voters' dis- dam 'for politicians, it was a per- sonal joy for me to share in this natural out-pouring by so many people. The celebrations of VE Day in 19 45, and the joy of the day, will re- main with me for ever. The celebra- tions on October 1, 1990, and the joy of the day, will also, remain with me for ever. Movie Theatre, in Port Hope Port Hopes capital theatre will be leased to a group and- is not being soid outright as-yet uinspecified. The atmospheric theatre is one of only three remaîning in Canada. It has not been operating as a theatre for a nutnber of years. No study - no amalgamation Port Hope, is no dloser to an amalgamation with Hope Township now then they were in the heginn- îng. Port Hope made a requset to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for a government-funded study on a malgamation. The Ministry denied any funding stating that there was no direct cost to Municipalities participating in the'Northumberland County Study on municipal restructuring. Without a study the Municipalities feel there wiii be great reserves about the amalgama- tion.
