Durham East MPP Gord Mills will push ahead with a survey to determine support for GO- Transit bus service from the Scugog area, even though GO- Trains into Whitby will be cut back in the near future. Mr. Mills told the Citizen he will be mailing survey forms in . about a week's time to 10,000 homes within his riding. "Yes, we are going ahead with the survey. There is no way I'm backing off from this," he told the Citizen. He wants to determine if there is support for GO bus service to Oshawa and to the GO station in Whitby from areas which now are not served by public transportation. Mr. Mills said he'has conferred with GO Transit officials about this and they are interested if it can be proven there is a need for this kind of service. He hopes the household survey will show just that. Mr. Mills made the comments on the heels of an announcement last week that GO train service to the station in Whitby will be cut back to peak hours only. In non-peak hours, the public will be bused from Whitby station to the trains at Pickering. Mr. Mills said this kind of cut- back in off hours "makes sense. | have no problem with that." Méanwhile, commenting on the ecohomic restraint packa unveiled recently by the N government, Mr. Mills said he is getting calls of support from known Conservatives and Reform Party members. He said the government's Social Contract proposal is extremely important for the future of the province. "If this doesn't work, I don't know what is going to happen to Ontario," he said. Dealing with the public sector unions will be tough, but Mr. Mills believes individual workers "just want to hang'on to their jobs," and will accept concessions like a wage freeze in return for job security. He admitted the NDP course of action is going to be very tough politically. "There comes a time when you have to put the province first" (ahead of politics) "Our (NDP) supporters expected us to act like the Opposition Parties, but it's a different kettle of fish for the Party in power," he noted.

A "short list" of five sites for'a 100 acre landfill in Victoria County was released last week. And.gome residents who live on or near the proposed sites are expressing strong concerns over this issue. Patrick Campbell, whose family owns a farm adjacent to one of the sites in Ops Township, * told the Citizen there was a lot of anger expressed by about 100 "invitation only" pecple at the Ops Community Centre last Wednesday evening. "A lot of people are feeling d ed," said Mr. Campbell when they learned the location of the five potential sites. The site referred to by Mr. Campbell is called County Road Site 18, located on the west side of the Scugog River, a mile east and a mile north of Valencia. Mr. Campbell said this site is about two miles from the northern shore of Lak Seugog. Another site is called Gountry Road 57 and is located northeast of Janetville on the west side of Highway 35. A third site is on thé south side of County Road 4, south of the Little Britain Creek. The other two sites named by the consulting firm of Procter and Redfern are on Gounty Road 35, Eldon Township, just west of Balsam Lake; and in Emily Township on Country Road 17, due east of Lindsay. An information package from Victoria County says the search for a landfill started with over 100 sites, was narrowed by the consultants to 24 sites and then to five announced last week. The site selection process will further eliminate four sites until a final preferred site is named.
