Traffic along the causeway just east of Port Perry was stopped about 7:00 AM as sever- al Durham Police officers and four cruisers stopped a vehicle and took a man into custody.

And the suspect is also : ='wanted by Metro Toronto Police for a parole violation. An OPP officer stopped a car on Highway 401 in Picker- ing for a routine traffic violation and noticed what appeared to be a quantity of narcotics in a plastic container.

Despite political wrangling and a dispute between Durham Region and the Durham Re- Cycling Inc., Mr. Cuddie said the pick-up will not be disrupt- ed. Last week, Durham Re- Cycling announced that it was laying off all staff that work on the blue box pick-up and at the Re-Cycling depot in Whitby, ef- fective the end of November. Mr. Cuddie said that Scu- gog and the other municipali- ties that make up Durham are asking tenders for blue pick-up. And he's confident that Scugog will have a contractor ready to start the pick-up as of December 1. The tender will call for a 13-month contract and then for a further five years, he said. As for the cost to the Town- ship, he said Scugog has been paying for the blue box pick-up all along through the Regional levy. And he noted that garbage pick-up (which includes the re- cyclables in the blue box pro- gram) is a local reponsibility un- derlaw. "We (Scugog) will insure that all services will continue without interruption," he said. For the time being, he said the blue-box pickup will stay with the existing areas. However, he added that for 1992, the Township administra- tion will recommend to council that all of Scugog has blue box pick-up and regular garbage collection aswell. That will be the ideal time to extend these services Town- ship wide, he stated. Concerned about NDP review A) Hard at work for a good cause They were out in force last Saturday; Cubs, Scouts and Beavers, hard at work selling apples for the Annual Apple Day. The money raised by the youngsters will be used to pur- chase such things as badges and camping gear. These three were selling their apples In front of the Post Office. From left are Lyle Dufoe, 1st Port Perry Cubs; Thomas Greenough, 1st Port Perry Beavers; and Mark Richardson, 1st Port Perry Cubs. And as well as raising funds for a good cause, the boys seemed to having a good time in the process. 2 Zz Transit service back fo square one The Toronto/Peterborough Passenger Association feels it's back to square one with the newly elected NDP government in its efforts to have GO-Transit service from Toronto to Peterbo- rough. Association president Paul Pagnuelo said the group that has lobbied for train service on the old VIA line through Myr- tle, is very concerned that the NDP wants to review all trans- portation policies in the prov- ince. "It's not looking very good right now," Pagnuelo said Mon- day morning. Efforts by the group to get a face to face meet- ing with NDP transport minis- ter Ed Philips have not been successful so far, he said. And so far there has been nor reply from Premier Bob Rae to a letter September 11 from the Association, asking if Rae will follow through on a state- ment he made on GO service during the election campaign. Pagnuelo said that on Aug. 25, Rae made a commitment to extend GO service to Brantford and Peterborough. " "We (the Passenger Associ- ation) took that statement to mean 'immediate,' Pagnuelo said, adding that this "looks like the first broken promise" by the newly elected NDP govern- ment. to "What they are saying now is that everything (transporta- Turn to Page 2 Councillor wants dump search scrapped Scugog Township Ward 4 councillor has asked Durham Region's Waste Management Committee to give up the search for a new Regional landfill and concentrate on other methods of getting rid of garbage. In a personal letter to Dur- ham chairman Gery Herrema and committee chairman John Aker, Glenn Malcolm says "please listen to what the resi- dents of Scugog/Durham have been saying and re-consider your whole approach to the gar- bage crisis. People are looking to their representatives to show leadership and find a '90's solu- tion to this old problem." Councillor Malcolm also says in his letter that Durham most solve its garbage problems through "a combination of a more intensive 3R program and incineration." The full text of this letter is printed in this week in the "let- ters to the editor" section. Meanwhile, the Star has received several other letters to the editor on the issue of gar- bage, almost all of them from residents of Ward 4. The letters express shock and anger that Ward 4 was named September 22 by Dur- ham consultants as the location of two potential sites for a new Regional landfill. Three other sites were also named, one in north Oshawa, one in Newcastle and one on the Whitby-Pickering boundary. (see letters to the editor in thisissue of the Star) le i Se a Or mi Sl RT DE PAY
