Brock North has beén given an A, the worst rating; Brock West, which is still in use, an A-1. 4 "'These are the highest hazard ratings for humans," said Stoner. Brock North, on the Fifth Concession east of Brock Road, was a dum- ping ground for Metro Toronto waste before it was closed five years ago. Springs run through the dump and leachate (toxic drainage from the site) has several times overflowed into Cedar Creek. a Brock West, north-west of Highway 2 and Brock Road, is used as a municipal dump by Metro. It is scheduled to close in 1992, but Durham Region and Metro have agreed to study expanding or replacing the facility. On more than one occasion, Stoner has indicated she will fight expan- sion plans as she fought the original proposal.

PICKERING A suspect was arrested without incident by Durham Regional Police early last week after a Pickering family had been held at gunpoint in their home. Police indicated a man had entered an Altona Road home early in the evening carrying a loaded .22 calibre rifle and a heavy rock. A family member managed to escape the home and call police, who were in the vicinity when the suspect left in the family's car. Four police cruisers trailed the car into Scarborough, where it was pull- ed over near the Meadowvale Road-Sheppard Avenue intersection. Victor Giles, 30, of Lawrence Avenue East, Scarborough, was charg- ed with robbery, impaired driving, possession of a dangerous weapon, failure to stop for police, and driving while his licence was suspended. WHITBY . : Lake Ontario Steel Co. Ltd., (LASCO) has announced a $3.7 million expansion of its warehousing facilities in Whitby. The expansion will add an additional 40,000 square feet to the company's warehouse space, bringing the total storage capacity to nearly 270,000 square feet, according to a company spokesman. Much of the cost of the additional will be the installation of a 25-tonne crane which will be used to facilitate faster shipping of steel materials to customers across Canada and abroad. The addition, however, is not expected to add any more jobs at the plant, where more than 1,100 employees make it the largest employer in Whitby. LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO . ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS?

Although Tisha Mehta, right, had no pro- blems mastering chopsticks at Brooklin Library's "China Day," Shari Batty, centre, and Katie Flanders, weren't so sure this was such a great idea. A person could starve to death at this rate they were heard to mutter. The test of eating with chopsticks was part of the fun during this month's Slow Boat to China days. Redmen double Lakers in opener Defending Mann Cup Champions, Brooklin Redmen showed last year's Canadian Championship vic- tory was no fluke, as they stuck to their game plan and doubled Peter- borough Lakers 14-7 before a pack- ed house in Otonabee Aren~ in Keene last Friday night. Forgetting the bully-boy, rough- house tactics that usually are the main feature when these two clubs get together, Redmen stuck to the finer points of the game in the open- ing match of the best-of-seven On- tario Lacrosse Association (OLA) Major Series Championship. Their ploy obviously confused Lakers as Brooklin touted a 6-3 lead - at the end of the opening frame and built it up to a 10-3 margin heading for the final 20 minutes of play. It wasn't as though Lakers didn't - try. They had many opportunities, but Wayne Colley was superb, bet- ween the pipes for Brooklin, turning - away shot after shot from the Peter- borough team. Meanwhile, Ross Cowie wasn't faring as well in nets for Lakers. He stayed between the pipes until the 5:31 mark of the third period, letting in all the Brooklin goals. He left, tail between his legs, as Wayne Platt took over. Although Platt didn't allow any goals, it was too late for Lakers to make a move on Redmen. Tom Wreggitt had what could on- ly be described as an Excellent game. Apart from scoring three goals, he was Mr. Hustle for the en- WHITBY-OSHAWA HONDA 1110 Dundas St. East - Whithy, Ont.
