Be ai-- ant - Race heats up for School Bd. There will be a race for the Scugog seats on the Durham Board of Education with the announce- ment last week from a third can- didate seeking election on November 12. Debbie Tredway of R.R.2, Seagrave, a mother of two young children, joins incumbent Stuart McEntyre and Blackstock resident Joyce Kelly as candidates for the two Scugog seats on the public school board. Mrs. Tredway told the Star that her main concern in seeking office seats will be a commitment to the smaller schools in the Township such as Ep- som and Greenbank, and to try and speed up the process for construc- tion of a new school in the Port Perry area which she said "is so badly needed." This 1s Mrs. Tredway's first at- tempt at election to public office. For the past four years she has worked as a parent-helper at Epsom and Greenbank schools. Her two children, ages 8 and 6 are students at Greenbank Public School. Originally from Toronto where she worked in accounting with the Bank of Commerce and as a person- nel administrator, Mrs. Tredway has lived in Scugog for the past 11 years. Asked to comment on the con- troversial extension of funding to Catholic High Schools in Ontario. Mrs. Tredway said she has misgiv- ings about the cost of two publical- ly financed school systems in Ontario. But with the issue now being challenged in court on its constitu- tionality, she said it appears to be out of the hands of local school boards and trustees. She stressed that her campaign for election would centre around local issues in Scugog, especially the need for a new school in the Port Perry area and continued support for the smaller schools in the Township to guarantee that they re- main viable parts of the communi- ty they serve.

The main argument put forward by the Region's works committee for a joint venture was the cost. A lengthy report tabled at last week's meeting indicates that it would cost Durham $45 million to develop and pay for a new 450 acre dump over a period of 20 years. That $45 million over the 20 year life of a new dump would add seven per cent to the regional tax bill of all ratepayers in Durham. Oshawa councillor John Aker said that fact alone should be enough to pursuade Durham that a joint ven- ture with Metro is needed. During the long debate on the matter last week, there was little doubt that the garbage crunch is fast approaching for Durham Region. The Region presently has an agreement with Metro to dump at the Pickering site. That agreement expires next year, but will be ex- tended until 1992 when the life of the Metro dump in Pickering will run out. Several councillors expressed doubt last week that even if Durham and Metro start now to find a new dump, it would not be ready by 1992. The costs to buy the land, hold hearings and a complete en- vironmental assessment and then build facilities to trap methane gas and pipes to carry leachings into the sewer system will be astronomical. PANDA EF NF 5 i F 4 a ; : i 2 P, i Ot § ¥ 3 £ 1 3 % 4 Estimates put the actual cost at about $21 million, but debentured over 20 years, the price tag would rise to $45 million with debt charges tacked on. Still more startling is the combin- ed estimate for capital and operating cost of a new dump from 1993 to 2012, which amount to a mind-numbing $292 million. Because of these costs, several councillors urged the Region to start seriously looking at alternative methods of getting rid of garbage such as incineration ana re-cycling. The main objections to the joint Durham-Metro venture came from Pickering councillors who fear that if a new dump site is found, it will be in their municipality, because of the proximity of Metro. Metro currently owns 700 acres of land in Pickering and uses about 100 acres for garbage dumping. Picker- 'ing councillors also said the airport lands would be considered as a potential site, and the lands owned by the provincial government in the rural areas of the community. a | by A Say It with a ...

' Councillor Stoner vowed to fight attempts to locate a new dump in Pickering. She said the amount of garbage going into a Durham only site could be measured in the hundreds of thousands of tonnes. If Metro dumps its garbage there too, the number of tonnes is in the millions. Chesterfield Suites Love Seats - Sectionals & Mattresses -- A Large Selection -- LESS THAN 1/2 PRICE!
