EL Ts I ---- a TNS a AT RE Scugog firefighter Charlie Lown peers out from a hole in the side of a burning barn, owned by Martin Demmer, which burst into flames Wednesday night at dinnertime. The fire, which started because of electrical faults, was contained to the south end of the barn, leaving a Mercedes car and some trailers unscathed. Approx- imately $10,000 damage was caused by the blaze on the north tip of Scugog Island. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1985 -- 3 At Cartwright Transfer Station Changes for the better As of January 21, the Cartwright Transfer Sta- tion was no longer un- supervised or open 24 hours each day. The transfer station, located just east of Blackstock, is used by residents to dump household garbage and other light trash. The move by Scugog Township to supervise the site and reduce the hours it is open appears to be working quite well, according to Regional councillor Lawrence Malcolm. He said that during the first week of reduced hours, Ross Burr, the newly hired supervisor turned away 22 trucks of various size whose drivers were trying to dump at the site, Some of the trucks con- tained scrap construc- tion materials, and several were from out of Scugog, said councillor Malcolm. He estimates that if each of those turned- away trucks contained one ton of garbage, the Township saved about $350, because Scugog must pay $15.25 per ton to have trash from the transfer station hauled away. With the station now open from 8:30 to 4:30 during the week and from 8:30 to 12:30 on Saturday only, a few peo- ple who showed up when the site was closed decid- ed to throw their garbage beside the gate. Councillor Malcolm said this kind of thing is expected immediately after changes are made in the hours'of operation. However, once the public becomes more aware that the site is closed on Sundays and Saturday afternoons, the number of people leaving trash by the main gate will decrease. He said he received a "few complaints" from people about the reduced hours of operation, but added he also heard favourable comments that the supervision is improving the overall picture at the transfer station. "I would say there has been an improvement there," he said. Firefighters kept hopping withconsecutive barn blazes Scugog Hall No. 1 Firefighters were kept busy last week, handling two barn fires, and a minor blaze in a Port Perry electrical panel. On Wednesday night, shortly after 6:30 p.m., a Scugog Island barn erupted into flames as the result of electrical problems. Firefighters were able to contain the . The blaze to about one quarter of the building, saving a Mercedes-Ben z car and a cluster of stored trailers and equip- ment. An estimated $10,000 damage was caused. next night, firefighters were called to a Utica area residence to battle a minor barn fire, started by an elec- A.W. BROCK'S ZEORUARY tric heater. The dinner- time blaze cost owner Aldon Smith approx- imately $500. And, early Saturday morning, an electrical fire in a panel box blew in a Shanley Street home owned by Norm Watson. Firefighters quickly ex- tinguished the flames, and minor smoke damage was the only result. Scugog Township council decided late last year to ask Durham Region to allow supervi- sion at the station, along with reduced hours the place is open. It had become obvious that abusers were taking place with some people dumping large amounts of heavy trash rather than pay the tipping fee at Darlington or Scugog landfill sites. The transfer station is only for light trash and household garbage. The move to supervi- sion and a reduction in hours will be a six month trial basis and Township council will re-assess the situation this July, accor- ding to councillor Malcolm. While the supervisor has the authority to turn trucks away at the gate, he has been instructed by the Township to use " discretion, said coun- cillor Malcolm. TRUCK DAMAGED A Whitby man who ar- rived in Port Perry Sun- day for some snowmobil- ing on Lake Scugog went home with a bill for about $500. Police say the man left his 83 Ford truck parked on Water St. and when he returned found the doors had been kicked to the tune of about $500 in damages. While Stock Lasts. All Sales Final.
