Councillors reacted favourably to EWMC"s attempts to locate in Port Perry and council agreed to say 80 in a letter to the Provincial Environment Ministry which must issue a certificate of compliance to the company. "This is an excellent opportunity for the community," said Ward 1 councillor Ken Carruthers. And, he went on, it could have a "ripple effect in attracting other industry and commerce to Scugog. Councillors Carruthers said initially the company could employ 40-60 people with this number growing to 100 in five years.

DoNATIONS OF WARM CLOTHING NEEDED FOR WAR VIC forms: oil and carbon black. The company wants to use the Johnson Controls Plant to market this technology and to set up a show room and demonstration facility that would reduce about 3,000 rubber tires daily. In his letter to the council, company president Fairfull said: "I would like to stress to you that there is no confusion about our intention......this site * is not and will not be used as a commercial waste reduction facility, but only to demonstrate our equipment for the sales and marketing department and as a research and development centre." The letter goes on to say that storage of tires will be indoors and all safety requirements will be met. This technology, developed by an Ontario professor, uses a micro-wave process to break down the rubber, and there are no toxic emissions, said councillor Carruthers. He said that the company has made an offer to lease the Johnson Controls plant. "They have decided that Scugog is where they would prefer to locate," he told council.

With Kane leading the way, it is expected that other dogs will be added to the Unit over the next few years. Part of the money to set up the Unit went into special equipment, such as the rear seat travelling cage. It has a swing door that Kane can open and shut when the car door is open. And the car door can be opened automatically when Const. Vanderduim is away from the cruiser. Please see page two 1S - SEE PAGE Two
