The program, which helps de- velopmentally handicapped adults remain in their homes, almost got the axe in early Octo- ber. APSWPis funded by the prov- ince but administered by the re- gion's health and social services committee, under the assump- tion that it always be funded by the province. The provincial government decided to drop funding for the project, and let it in the hands of Durham Regional Council. The health and social servic- es committee will recommend to the regional council that they continue the APSWP until 1990, pick up the estimated $46,000 deficit, and start seri- ous negotiations with the prov- ince in funding. Currently the program helps 156 adults, but another 56 are on the waiting list.

PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 24, 1989 -- 3 Plastic compost bags for leaves are disappearing like magic istrator Earl Cuddie. "The next nice day we have they'll be gone for sure." Residents are allowed to pick up, at no charge, 10 compost bags at the township office. Once the bags are full of leaves and other yard waste, they can be taken to the Scugog Landfill Site and be thrown into a specially-marked bin. "The only problem we've had with the project is that the bin is too high," said Mr. Cuddie. He explained that if the bin was lower, residents could empty the leaves into the bin and reuse the bags. He said the township is still hearing complaints about resi- dents burning leaves, but said that since the bags arrived (two weeks ago) the weather has been conducive to burning. The bagged leaves will be trucked to a controlled compost- ing site in Brock Township. Representatives from the St. Lawrence Starch Company and the University of Guelph will monitor and manage the com- post project for one year. Next October, residents will be able to pick up the compost and use it to fertilize their lawns and gardens. In its bid to reduce the amount of garbage entering re- gional dumps, Durham has banned leaves from landfill sites. Studies show that up to 18 per cent of all garbage entering regional dumps is "yard waste." The region hopes to reduce the waste stream 25 per cent by 1992,through projects like leaf composting and recycling.
