a REC RA 3 i NE Region will go it alone Durham/Toronto garbage d By Julia Ashton The dump deal between Dur- ham Region and Metro Toronto hasbeen filed under "G" for gar- bage. That means Durham officials will be hard pressed to keep this year's net regional levy at a 12 per cent increase, Regional Chairman Gary Herrema told the Star on Monday. _ "I have great doubts," Chair- man Herrema said about keep- ing the increase down. "We have to make big cuts." And that's Just what regional YAsials will be doing Wednes- ay. The eight mayors, chairmen and vice-chairmen of the vari- ous committees, and the region- al chairman plan to discuss probable cuts to the budget which has been delayed be- cause of the garbage agree- ment. : "We will review all of the bud- get, see what adjustments must Summer camp already togo af Durham YY' Summer is just around the cor- ner and the YMCA Day Camp is now taking registration. Port Perry and Uxbridge area children can once again have a fun filled summer at the Elgin Park, Ux- bridge site. The program for ages 6-14, will be under the leadership of Connie Stephenson, who is - herself an energetic Mom and who works year round for the YM- CA providing YMCA programs in and around Port Perry. . There'll be no chance for the "I'm bored'as kids enjoy games, songs, skits, crafts, learn about the environment, learn to cook outdoors, swim daily, and put on special days like Backwards Day, Carnival Day, Dressup Day and more. A family night complete with campfire, sing songs, skits and mar- shmallows is held each two week session. An optional sleep over adds even more excitement. A bus will run from the YMCA on Queen Street in Port Perry to the Uxbridge site. For the conve- nience of working parents, before and after camp care will be available. Camp hours are 9 a.m. -4 p.m. For further information and registration call 985-2824 or 668-6868 (collect). COMPARE THE RATE! be made, and determine how much we will have to deben- ture," the chairman said. Probable cuts in services in- clude extensive road repairs slated to start this summer, in- cluding construction to Region- al Road 57 (View Lake Road), Mr. Herrema said. "We have been promising the people of Durham Region that we would be fixing the roads for years now. Now we are reneg- ing again because of lack of money." Programs and staff will also be reduced to keep the net re- gional levy down, he said. Some of the staff cuts include reducing the number of new of- ficers the Durham Region Po- lice requested. Another factor pushing the levy higher is the increase in General Welfare Assistance payments. The payments have skyrocketed an incredible 90 per cent in one year in Durham £00 BEST AVAILABLE COPY Region. "We'd have come in at 10 per cent if it weren't for the GWA," the chairman said. "But four per cent of the budget increase isdue tothe GWA." In the 14 years Mr. Herrema has sat on Durham Region Council, this has been the lat- est the budget has ever been presented, he predicted. And the stumbling block this ear has been garbage -- 6 mil- ion tonnes of it. Durham and Metro were ready to sign on the dotted line of an agreement to dump gar- bage in Whitevale for five years when Durham noticed a change in the wording of a clause per- taining to the timing of upfront payments by Metro. The payments -- which repre- sent $41-million of the $251- million Durham would profit from the deal -- would be used todevelop the site. "We have no more choice," > PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 24, 1990 -- 3 the chairman said. "It can't go on any longer." Although he states the deal is dead, Mr. Herrema said Metro Chairman Allan Tonks has re- quested fo breakfast meeting with the chairman and works and waste management chair- man John Aker. Despite the proposed "consol- eal scrapped itory discussions" Mr. Herrema said "I think we're done" with Metro. Durham will now haye to find other ways to fund the interim landfill site, and officials are approaching other regions in the Greater Toronto Area Gar- bage Authority to see if there are any takers.
