Region halts ban on construction waste Durham Region has with- drawn a waste management committee recommendation to ban various construction mate- rials from regional landfill sites.

An exception was made for petroleum contaminated soil which can be recycled by the soil recycling company located o the Keele Valley Landfill ite. The waste committee initiat- ed the ban when Metro Toronto council pre d a similar ban at their landfill sites. The region feared that if con- struction waste was banned from Metro landfills, Durham dumps would be inundated with Metro's construction waste, waste management committee chairman John Aker told the press outside council chambers Wednesday. But Metro has not passed the recommendation through their council yet and until they do, no corresponding ban will be im- posed in Durham. Durham's waste manage- ment committee withdrew the recommendation before deal- ing with other waste recom- mendations. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 20, 1990 -- 3 Group wants Board of Education to stop plans for condom dispensers The Family Action Council of Durham Region is launching a campaign to stop any plans by the Board of Education to put condom dispensers in Regional high schools. Although the Durham Board of Education is now just studying the issue and won't make a decision until early in the New Year, the Family Ac- tion Council has written a long brief to the Board outlining why the idea is not appropriate. "When there is talk of 'safe sex, there is little mention of 'condom failure,' AIDS risks, phychological danger of prema- ture intimacy, peer pressure, al- ternatives such as abstinence," says the council's acting direc- tor Terry Ruddell in a brief pre- sented this month to Board of Education director Pauline La- ing. Ruddell goes on to say that with condoms having a failure rate of "10-18 per cent" the Board would not be acting re- sponsibly by placing the dis- pensers in high school wash- rooms. And he said the Board might face legal action if a per- son became pregnant or con- tacted AIDS or any other dis- ease, if there was condom failure. "The Christian emphasis on sexual relations as the em- bodiment of monogamous rela- tionships of commital and love is the only safeguard for our children against a future of mis- carriages, sterility, and other medical as well as social compli- cations due to promiscuous be- havior," Rudell writes. As well as lobbying Board trustees to turn down the pro sal, Ruddell says the council is organizing citizen petitions to back up their arguments. And it is encouraging churches and other organiza- tions to voice their opposition as well. The Family Action Council, based in Oshawa is described by Ruddell as a "non-profit coali- tion of churches, organizations and family members working to pressive family values in Dur- am Region." The installation of condom dispensers in high school wash- rooms has been approved by school boards in Toronto and Peterborough.
