Mr. Briley and his 11-year-old daughter Kasey worked to- gether on this unique and thought-provoking display depicting the current garbage crisis. Inset is a close-up of one of the three papier mache skulls the Brileys made especially for the display. Please see story for more details. landfill message across By Julia Dempsey Port Perry Star Tyler Briley's latest work of artis garbage. Well, sort of. Distressed about the garbage crisis and the effect it may have on Scugog Township, Mr. Briley decided to do some creative landscaping on the front lawn of his Poplar Park Crescent home. What he ended up with is a very unique and thought-provoking display. Mr. Briley explained the premiss behind the display is "the seeds you sow is the har- vest you grow." By throwing garbage into the ground, mankind will harvest death, he says. Productive farm- land, water quality, and a high standard of living will be gone forever. That idea is brought home in the display which features a miniature landfill site on one side and papier mache skulls on the other. But itis our lifestyle that con- tinues to cause the problem, he pointed out. "Humans are animals of dou- ble and triple packaging. Even when we throw out the gar- bage," Mr. Briley said, adding it's human nature to tie the top of a small bag of garbage and then placeitin alargerbag. "We have to change our way of living and thinking." He would like to see home composting become mandatory. Not only would it cut down on the amount of landfill in the waste stream, but it also pro- duces a rich soil that is excellent for gardens, Mr. Briley noted. Although he doesn't profess to know the complete solution to the landfill crisis, Mr. Briley says "the Zero Garbage people have the best train of thought." Mankind must work towards producing no garbage by reduc- ing, reusing, recycling and re- furbishingeverything. As for the present crisis In Scugog Township, he says he 1s "a little disappointed more peo- ple haven't gotten involved." "People are so apathetic in Canada. We live in a democracy Vision Control L) Solariums & Sunrooms Retractable Fabric Awnings Windows & Doors A. OPPERS LTD. and what the people want the people should get," he said. Mr. Briley issued a warning to all Scugog Township resi- dents. "A landfill site here will affect everyone in Scugog Township," he said. "If people believe for one minute that they can contain the stuff (leachate) they better wake up and smell the roses." Telephone scam being investigated Durham Regional Police are investigating a telephone solic- iting scam in Port Perry. According to Inspector Ross Smith, a Port Perry resident re- ceived a phone call recently so- hating money for a summer camp called Green Summer Camp. The caller claimed to be from a summer camp for under prnivi- leged children. He said it was privately funded but they were forced to solicitdonations. The caller also stated that the organization was supported by Durham Regional Police and Durham Region Social Services. But a check conducted by both the person receiving the call as well as Durham Police's Fraud Squad revealed that both de- partments know nothing of this organization. Despite the fraudulent re- quests, Inspector Smith says the party 1s not committing a crime by asking for money. He says only when money 1s re- ceived will it be considered a crime. Inspector Smith was unable to estimate how many other people have been contacted by this orgamzation as well. He said just the one complaint had been received so far. Inspector Smith suggests anybody who receives suspi- cious calls get as much informa- tion as possible and report it Durham Regional Police. IN
