Durham have entered into a joint venture that will see the development of an in- dustrial park on provincially -owned land in Government Ser- vices Minister Chris Ward, Durham Centre MPP Allan Furlong, Regional Chair- man Gary Herrema and Whitby Mayor Robert At- tersley announced last week. The 185 -acre Lynde Shores Business Park will be located on Victoria St., adjacent to Highway 401 and west of the Whitby GO station. "This joint venture agreement marks a first for my ministry," Mr. Ward said, "and it clearly demonstrates the objective we share with Durham's local levels of government to ensure a good supply of serviced industrial land in the region„ Under the agreement, the Mmistry of Govern- ment Services l MGS i pro- vides the land and Durham Region will develop and market the business park. MGS will recover the cur- rent market value of the land at the time the sites are sold and Durham will recover its development and marketing costs. Any remaining revenues will be divided evenly between the two parties to the agree- ment. "Both parties benefit tinder this agreement," Mr. Ward said, '-the region doesn't have to pay for the land upfront and the pro- vmce saves the cost of ser- vicing, development and marketing." "Durham is pleased to take part in this innovative co-operative approach and we're looking forward to providing attractive in- dustrial sites that will br- ing new business into the region," Mr. Herrema stated. "I see this as a very positive step, government using its land assets in new ways to promote communi- ty development. It's a 'win- win' situatim," said Allan Furlong, MPP for Durham Centre. The land for the business park is part of the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital site which is being redeveloped not only for industrial pur- poses but also for a major residential subdivision. An additional 25 acre site along Lynde Creek will be sold to the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, Mr. Ward said, providing an important open space area. Sales in the Business Park will be restricted to end-users for environmentally -friendly light industries, distribu- tion facilities or corporate head offices. The result of the development will be an attractive, prestige business complex. It Pays To Advertise Page 2 THE NEWS POST Wed. Feb. 14, 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Debt Reduction by Bob Watson One of the problems of a democratically elected govern- ment is the constant desire to satisfy the demands of voters. Individual Members of Parliament are steadily attempting to get things done for constituents because it means a good vote in the next election. The same applies to the person selected as Prime Minister. He or she is trying (well, usually) to come up with "goodies" for the public so that in the next election the government political party will gain on the votes. Over the years a lot of nice "goodies" have become part of the way of life in the government. If some senior groups get money to have bingo games, euchres or newsletters. they get it every year because their votes are important. However, the cost of these "goodies" adds up to more deficit on the budget. Then, of course, every ethnic group must get its "goodie" or more votes are lost - so the political parties think' One of the biggest costs in government is the constant dishing out of money to so called "native" Canadians. which means people who are born today to a parent or parents who happen to be of Red Indian or Eskimo descent. While we haven't read the agreements made with Indian tribes when deals were made away back in the past, we do find it very puzzling w•hy native peoples get money to eat. live, go to school - and free tuition to go to university! This makes these human beings not just equal to other Cana- dians but much "more equal". And we were brought up to believe that equality to human beings was the highest point in our system. We have nothing against native peoples but we do believe in equality. Every year that we can remember either the federal government or provincial government has given more land to an Indian tribe. We now have over 800 tribes in Canada - and we don't believe that there were that many when the white mart made his original deals to the Indians. With Canada's debt (just the federal government) heading towards 400 billion dollars causing annual interest of about $40 billion it seems absolutely essential that all giveaways to anybody should be abandoned in favour of paying off the debt. We believe that every citi2en will accept the cast of pay- ing off the debt if the government exercises reasonable use of its money and asks all of us to pay extra taxes on our in- comes. And let's not get involved in a complicated tax. such as a sales tax. but stick to the one tax that is the fairest - income tax. or in the case of a corporation, business tax. The number of federal civil servants in the federal government's pay should be reduced. When some one retires reorganize the department with one less employee. Any business person knows that private enterprise can use a lot less man and women power to run a business. Govern- ment will have to live the same way in order to conserve the cost of government. And we don't need to continually add more departments on to government at Ottawa with the resultant high costs of administration. Cut back the number of departments to the basic needs. The only reason for some of these extra depart- ments created in the last few years is to create another cabinet post for another well deserved party man or woman. Then there is the simplification factor. Let's abolish all the "ifs"...ands" and .'buts" in the income tax routine. Every exemption of "if" makes more civil servant work and costs more money. Let's cut most of these deviations out of the income tax deal. Wants Realistic Analyses Dear Editor: On Sat. Jan. 13, 1990, the small town of Minden in Ontario was besieged by a reported 7000 people. The occasion was the competitive dog sleigh race. The weather was crisp. the snow was piled high. an ideal weekend for the event. Dogs came from all directions of Canada, the United States and the Yukon. While this was going on I read where 450 stalwart Cana- dians gathered at Union Station in Toronto to protest our Via Train debacle by Mr. Mulroney's government. Our Con- servative government force is proceeding with its game of favouritism instead of realistic analvses. There is not another responsible country that would bring on a policy at- trition against the efficiency of its railways in order to pro- mote a false make -works program for the automobile and trucking industry.

Of course, a kickback of the money will go to the Metro Toron- to Police funds to help their huge budget. I object to this particular ticket because I believe that whether I Wear a seat belt is my business and if I don't wear it I am not endangering any human being but myself. I further object to the way I was "captured". In a heavy traffic flow on Markham Rd. coming south to Nugget Ave., I was suddenly motioned by a young police officer to pull over. There were three police cars patted on the paved area Where TTC buses stop for passengers and there is an entrance to Kally's Restaurant. I objected to the young officer that three police offices checking seat belts was a waste of valuable police time when there were thousands of drug dealers to catch. I pointed out that if the police flowed with the traffic they would catch motorists who are driving poorly and creating danger for other cars and humans. He said if I had a com- plaint to speak to his sergeant. However. a short conference with the sergeant. who equipment as compared to the long term durability of train and railway facility will result in otr manufacturing facilities producing mountains of junk.

One recent estimate places the number of stockpiled, discarded tires in North America at about six billion. This alternating between polluting our air, the burn- ing process, the manufacture of metal junk, our expensive service stations is a useless employment of our workforce. If our country can afford to support such costly expen- ditures and uselessly employ our people we could just as well afford to put them on unemployment insurance. Our goal should be to devise more useful emplyment before we impoverish our country and turn it into a tundra where eventually our dogsleigh becomes a necessity again. Yours truly.

May I suggest that those working on nitpicking little chores like enforcing seat belts could be sent to more valuable chores" After all, the police budget uses up the most taxes of the taxes we property taxpayers pay to Metro Toronto. After this experience I hope the Metro Council turns down the request for 100 more police officers until the police can verify that they are using their manpower more effectively than just collecting revenue for the province.

Business Community_ES Centennial Spreads The Message Centennial College, a pioneer of strategic plann- ing among educational in- stitutions in Canada, has been sought to share its ex- pertise in southeast Asia. Margaret Kende, P.Eng., the college's executive -director of Strategic Management and Planning, left on Jan. 27 for a six-week spell in southeast Asia, during which as strategic planning specialist, she will work with officials of the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMED). "I will gather and analyze data, conduct in- terviews and prepare recommendations for a management and planning framework and schedule for SEAMEO. The strategic pian will involve the organization's centres and projects for the next five years," Kende explain- ed SEAMEO was formed 25 years ago to serve the region's educational, scienr tific and cultural needs, especially in human resources development. Centres have been established in each of the five countries, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines. Brunei, which has recently joined, will also have a centre next year. Kende's trip has been ar- ranged under the auspices of the Association of Cana- dian Community Colleges, and is the result of discus- sion between the Canadian International Development Agency and SEAMEO.

Feb. 14, 1980 THE NEWS/POST Page 5 Future Of Ontario Electricity Scarborough Public Utilities Commission is .term • Specifically, the board repeats its call for the transfer of controllers from other airports at premium pay to Pearson to increase the capacity level. The board expressed "surprise" at the lack of an explicit role for the business community in ad- dressing the problems fac- ed by Ontario's health care system, particularly in view of the advent of the Employer Health Levy (EHL) . The board specifically :opposed the council's pro- posal to impose a cap on total fee payments to doc- tors, saying that "The 'board is as much in disagreement with the idea of arbitrarily capping the income of physicians as much as it would be concer- ning the income earned by any private industry". The board recommended a thorough review of several possible remunera- tion systems for physi- cians, as well as: differen- tial funning for hospitals in recognition of the high cost of living in Toronto; public awareness initiatives con- cerning the cost of health care in Ontario, increased emphasis on preventive health rare; and increased funding for the training of medical researchers and scientists.

Feb. 14, 1!M Bill Watt's Worlds OVERTURE: Next Monday at Roy Thomson Hall the Toronto Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by 76 year old Hilliard Conway. Sym- phony conductors in their seventies and even eighties .are not unusual, so why are we mentioning Mr. Conway at this time? Well, you see, the gentleman can't read a note of music! He is, however, the most recent winner in the annual Dream Auction -he also won in 1963 and 1984 -and his prize is again the oppor- tunity to conduct the prestigious orchestra. The only preparation he will receive is a half hour coaching session with con- ductor Erich Kunzel and two hour rehearsal the day before the concert. Then at 8 p.m. on the evening of the perfor- mance, Maestro Kunzel will hand his baton to Mr. Conway and perhaps a new career will begin. Why not? If Harlan Sanders could become a millionaire starting in his seventies by selling fried chicken, why can't Hilliard Conway do the same flogg- ing lollipops? Good luck sir' AT THE OPERA: We think ane would have to love opera without reser vation in order to enjoy Wozzeck, the work just con- cluded by the Canadian Opera Company at The O'Keefe. The story, though well in- tended, is a highly im- probable one but even so Wozzeck might just possibly be successful as a straight play. Saddled, however, with the relentless atonality of the Alban Berg score Wozzeck, like the title character, flails and flounders its way to a -dare we say it? -mercifully brief conclu- sion. (The opera runs just under two hours with no in- termission. Even so, many left before the conclusion-) The opera is set in post World War I Germany. Wozzack is a dull witted or- dinary soldier whose mistress makes a cuckold of him. whose Captain sub- jects him, with the aid of a glory seeking doctor, to a series of sadistic medical experiments and whose Drum -Major physically and emotionally abuses him all the while boasting of his conquest of Wozzeck's mistress. That's an awkwardly constructed sentence we agree but then Wozzeck is an awkwardly constructed opera though possibly well conceived. Like the works of Kafka, Brecht and others of that ilk.

Fair enough one supposes but is it what one wishes to endure for an evening intended to refresh and stimulate? And that "music" of .Berg! We are not reluctant to state that Berg is to serious music as Syd Vicious to popular music. So was there anything to enjoy or admire about Wozzeck? Well, the voices of the principals were, as always, superb. Judith Forst is moving as the mistress torn between lust .and honor. Only lust could .have been the attraction ,she must have felt for the dull Wozzeck. In the title role Allan Monk sang well but the role itself is such a silly and poorly defined one that almost nothing can be done with it. The sets were effective in conveying the way in which man can feel dwarfed by the world around trim. The lighting of reliable Michael Whitfield might well have been the most effective component of the entire production. Blood figures muchly in the plot and the lighting effects conveyed the horror with almost tac- tile sensations. One cannot carat the number of recordings there are of such works as Carmen, Faust, La Boheme and other well lov- ed operas. To the best of our knowledge there are perhaps three of Wozzeck. Perhaps that best conveys the message we have been attempting, possibly without success, to deliver. CODA: This Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the Tanenbaum Centre, the Canadian Opera Com- pany presents an evening of the music of Austria and Germany. This will be the third in a fan part recital series celebrating the 10th anniversary of the C.O.C. Ensemble. Among the composers to be featured are Mahler, Strauss and Brahms. Ah Brahms. Now that's more like it' ON YOUR TOES: Tonight -Valentine's -the National Ballet begins its Spring Season at The O'Keefe with the charming LA Fille Mal Gardee. Woks to follow are the company premiere of Gloria by Sir Kenneth Mac- Millan. Transfigured Night, Concerta, the world premiere of The Need by David Parsons, Elite Syn- copation: and Serenade. Regrettably we had to miss the recent media con- ference announcing the 1990 91 Season and, as this is being written, our crack postal service hasn't yet delivered the press release of same. The P.O. is pro- bably taking improvement lessons in Warsaw. Anyway, we cannot at this time advise details of the next season but anything conceived by Reid Anderson is all right with us. Primedia Productions advises us that its produc- tion of Swan Lake will ap- pear on Sun. Feb. 25th at 2 p.m. on Veronica Tennant's Sunday Arts Entertainment over CBC - TV. It will star Evelyn Hart and Peter Schaufuss. Warner Brothers has in- vested and acquired the domestic distribution rights to The Nutcracker as an animated feature film. The production is cur- rently under way in Ot- tawa. Voices to be featured will be those of Kiefer Sutherland as the Nut- cracker Prince, Phyllis Diller as the Mouse Queen, Peter O'Toole as Pantaloon ( Pantaloon?) and Megan Follows as Clara. If the part of the nasty lit- tle boy is to be retained in this animated version why not give it to Michael Wilson? Perfect type casting we'd say. THEATRE NOTES: Opening tomorrow even- ing at the Bluma Appel Theatre is the Canadian Stage Company presenta- tion of The Legend of the Avro Arrow. One hopes it flies. Certainly the craft itself did and very well in- deed. Roles include those of many Canadian politicians and the advance notes ad- vise there is even to be an appearance by a very young Brian Mulroney . . taking it on the chin one supposes, rather in the manner that one hopes will be the case in the next federal lection. Currently appearing at the Bathurst Street Theatre is gorgeous June- va va voom-Wilkinson in Wally's Cafe. If you missed her in this at Stage West, here's another opportunity to sample her ah, charms. The Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres have an- nounced a Spring Season package of new works to follow The Wizard of Oz and Side by Side by Son- dbeim. At the Elgin. Kenneth Branagh directs his own Renaissance Company's productions of King Lear and A Midsummer Night's Dream in repertory from June 16th to the 19th. Mr. Branagh will appear in both plays. This is an ex- clusive Canadian engage - 1. At the Winter Garden the attractions will be Other People's Money, a comedy, and Alan Lund's Legend of the Durnbells. The former plays from Apr. 16th to May 5th to be followed by the latter playing from May 8th to May 26th. We'll be passing along more details but for the present we want to point out that ticket prices for these attractions are substantially more economical when they are purchased in multiples rather than single pur- chases. Tickets for packages can be ordered by mail, fax or in person at the box office. Order forms are already appearing in the newspapers. Economics of business must prevail and it is only right that Midsummer Night's Dream should play at the larger Elgin. One can't help wishing, however, that it might have played at the Winter Garden, a theatre just made for it, the name not- withstanding. BRIDAL NOTES: Dianne Weinrib sends along advice of and hopefully an invitaiton to Tony `n' Tina's Wedding starting Mar. 7th at 7 p.m. for a limited run. A wedding? Limited run? Say again. T N T is a theatrical presentation. "Guests" Women's Centre Invites You. Scarborough Women's Centre invites interested women to join its board of directors.

After witnessing the "marriage" guests walk the block and a half to Emerson's Bar and Grill for a wedding reception and dinner with dancing and a cash bar. T N T is presently doing sell out business in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Toronto is the fust Canadian engage- ment .. engagement?

The "wedding feast" includes baked ziti, Milano Salada, Romana wedding cake, champagne "Naplesque" and hot beverages. Sounds like it could be followed by Canadian in- digestion. Sorry but we couldn't resist that. FAST EXIT: Among the Juno nominees for Best Dance Recording is Let Your Backbone Slide by Maestro Fresh Wes. You can bear it on the Attic L.P. Symphony in Effect. Fresh Wes is Wesley Williams who grew up in North York but attended elementary school in Scar- borough. Go figure. Still it makes a good item for inclusion in a column seen and hopefully read in the two communities among others. Fresh Wes eh? Should we change our name to Silly Billie? about community resources available for women (eg. shelter, rape crisis, counselling) and courses, workshops and support groups related to physical and emotional health and employment.

The thought invokes images of endless stretches of sandy white beaches, sparkling clear waters, palm trees, theme parks, and of course, sunshine. You don't have to have Mel Fisher's gold to ex - the many diverse places and good times that can be had while travelling about the Sunshine State. if you yearn for that special Florida get -away this year but are concerned about the expense - relax. Florida is as affordable as it is en- ticing. From the tip of the keys to its northern border. Florida is jam-packed with free or nearly -free parks, attractions, tours and sights- Yet, the state has loads of room left to enjoy the best free amenity of all - mile after mile of unspoil- ed natural beauty. Travellers will ap- preciate the accessibility and affordability of Florida's motels and beach properties. Hotel and motel chains, conveniently located along Florida highways, offer air- conditioned, squeaky clean rooms, swimming pools for a quid[ dip before dinner, and colour televisions; to enjoy in the evenings. Some properties even sport such extras as com- plimentary spas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, and or ex- erise facilities for ymw use. If nightlife or evening entertainment appeals to you, some lodges offer one complimentary cocktail in their on -property lounge or in a designated meeting room, giving gusts a plea- sant atmosphere in which to get acquainted. Bargain -basement rates can be found at hotels and motels throughout Florida, with surprisingly cozy rooms and facilities for the travel value shopper. Na- tionally known chains offer rates as low as $30 per night, based on double oc- cupancy. A common practice among motels in Florida allows children under 18 to stay free with parents, making Florida a real family travel destination. Senior citizens will also appreciate varying dis- counts extended to them at motels, attractions and restaurants across the state. So if you're under 18 or over 55, travelling throughout the Sunshine State can be especially economical. The ultimate Florida at- traction is its miles of ex- pansive coastline. Just park your car at one of the state's many free public wayside or state parks situated along a bay, lake or inlet. as well as on the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean, and the beach is at your beckon. Fed the sand between your toes as you smell the salt spray, knowing it doesn't cost a penny to en- joy. Want a waterfront view? Staying at hotels on the beach can be affor- dable. The most inexpensive time to hit the beach is dur- ing the low season, which varies according to the region of Florida you wish to visit. As a general rule, south Florida's low season rates last from May through September, while in North Florida, low season lasts from November through March.

You will save dollars and still be a short walk from the shore. Beach cottages of all sizes and degrees of luxury. privately -owned or manag- ed by a rental firm, offer great value for larger groups or families seeking seaside relaxation. Another option for budget-coasc ious visitors is the kitchen efficiency which supplies all the com- forts of horse, along with daily maid service and fresh towels in most facilities. You can spend a few dollars more a day for these efficiencies, but ac- tually save money by avoiding daily restaurant rounds. Local fish markets provide the fresh ingre- dients to create delicious seafood entrees, right in your own room or cottage. A corner grocery store is always nearby for kitchen supplies and commodities. making it even easier to Fishing & Sportsmen's Show Tbere won't be many "fish -out -of -water" at this year's Ontario Fishing do Sportsmen's Show which runs at the Metro East Trade Centre, Wed.

Each year, the federal government assists approximate- ly 5,000 post -secondary students from access Canada obtain summer employment. Time Career Oriented Summer Employment Program, or COSEP, is a program ad- ministered by Employment and Immigration Canada whereby departments of the Federal Government offer post -secondary students an opportunity to acquire working experience in their chosen academic field. This national program, operating in every province and in both ter- ritories, will again assist young Canadians in acquiring valuable career -oriented training, within the federal public service. In order to be eligible for the program, candidates must be full-time registered at a university, community college, CEGEP or technical institute and be planning to return to school as full-time students in the next academic year. Ap- plication forms are now available to students wishing to ap- ply. Those interested should report to a Canada Employ- ment Centre on Campus or drop by my constituency office. The deadline for applying is February 28, 1990. During the last weekend in January, I had the pleasure of participating in two anniversary celebrations. The Picker- ing Royal Canadian Legion celebrated its 25th anniversary and the Whitby Optimists its fifteenth. I congratulate both organizations for 40 years of combined services to our com- munity. On Mon. Jan. 29th, Ray Hnatyshyn was officially install- ed as Canada's new Governor General. Hnatyshyn, a 14 year political veteran, wants to be remembered as the Governor General who took action on the four areas of in- terest he spelled out on his first day; the environment, com- munity services, aging and literacy. Good luck "Your Ex- cellency" :�:�:..:ti:{ ................... The Stoner Report Norah Stoner, M.P.P. Durham West ................... -------------- -- DUMP .................... DUMP BATTLE UPDATE There is a famous saying which I think owes its beginning to American Baseball, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over". It is the thought to hold onto with respect to the proposed PI landfill site near the village of Whitevale. Although recent newspaper headlines would indicate that the war is over, the truth is it has not yet really begun. Let's talk about where we are to date - what skirmishes have taken place and what battles we have yet to fight. To date Durham Regional Council has rescinded its pre- election resolution to prohibit the creation of another Metro Dump in Durham. It has voted to join with other Metro area Runs and Metro itself to join in a two pronged - "Interim" and "long term" waste management scenario. "Interim" means landfilling within the various regions over the short term - although the garbage would remain in its "interim" burial site forever. "Long term" means all of the Regions jointly exporting their waste somewhere out- side the Greater Toronto Area. It is proposed that the "interim" sites are to be fast track- ed through the shorter Environmental Protection Act pro- cess and that the `long term" sites are to undergo the longer Environmental Assessment Act process. The act looks not only at the specifics of a proposed landfill site, but also at the other options and alternatives which could be considered. This is one of the battles yet to be fought. PACT "Picker- ing Ajax Citizens Together" will be challenging in court the removal of our rights under the Environmental Assessment Act - noting that the Region of Durham's Official Plan states than any new landfill site must be reviewed under the Environmental Assessment Act. I strongly support PAC 's position. In this case. "It Ain't Over" means we've not yet had our day in court. The Region of Durham chose the "Pi" site on Altona Road near Whitevale and put it forward as an "interim" site for both Durham and Metro. The site is 800 acres although Durham says it is only going to use 200 acres. Durham has hired MM Dillon to do the investigation of soil and water conditions on the site. Status - Dillon has finished Phase 1 of its study and is starting Phase 11. It has not released its report on Phase 1. "It Ain't Over' in this rase means, it is still possible that the site could be found technically unsuitable. Metro and Dtwham courmcils have passed resolutions agreeing in principle to put forward "Pi" as a joint interim site but they have not signed a legal agreement with respect to the finances of the deal. For years Durham has watched Metro make millions of dollars from its landfill sites in our community. Durham council saw "P1" as its chance to make millions on the Pl site. The millions would come from the commer- cial and industrial wastes which pay the full tipping fee and not from the household or muumcipal waste which gets a rebate on the tipping fee. When Metro councillors were discussing this recently they were told not to worry about all the money going to Durham because they could send all the municipal waste to Durham. By undercutting Durham's tipping fee they could direct the commercial industrial waste to the Metro owned Vaughan site and still collect full tipping fees. One Metro Toronto coumcilbr, Richard Gilbert, was quoted in the Globe dr Mail recently as saying, "Metro got such a good deal that he can't understand why Durham went along with it." In this instance, "It Ain't Over" mears Durham has not yet signed an agreement with Metro and it still has the op- portunity to reassess its position. Regariless of the outcome of the court challenge referred to above, the "Environmermtal Assessment AM" versus the —Environmental Protection Act" will still have a public bearing process. It must be proven that P1 is a suitable landfill site. Metro and Durham have not yet made an application for a hearing. Here "It Ain't Over" meats we could well win the battle of the hearing and have the site turned down because of such things as the potential contamination of the aquifer which is the only source of supply of water for many villages and farms, or because of potential damage to the Durffns, Petticoat or Rouge rivers. At the same time as Durham is considering going to bed with Metro again, Durham is also undertaking a study of a "Durham for Durham Only" waste management strategy. There has been very little coverage of this study but it is possible that it will show that Durham would be better off handling its waste within its own boundaries. This is the option which I personally endorse. We should neither import waste (for questionable profit) nor should we export waste to some other community. The people of Pickering - having lived with Metros' Beare Road Site, Brock West Site and Brock North Site know first hand the horrors of living with other peoples garbage and could not in good conscience wish the same on any other community. If we had to live with our own waste we would be highly motivated to ensure that there is as little of it as possible. We would expand the Blue Box recycling program to in- clude plastics and cardboards and make it available to apartments and businesses. We would introduce a two pro- nged composting program that would A) provide bins for garden compost and B) provide a collection service with a large scale composting facility. As consumers we would demand the prohibition of excess packaging, that newspapers be printed on recycled paper, that reuseable items be given priority over disposable ones and that "post consumer -recycled" fine paper be available for use to us in our offices and schools. The phenomenal success of the "Blue Box" program shows that people very much want to do the "right thing". The Atlantic Packaging newspaper deinking plant, being built in Whitby, clearly demonstrates that environmental objectives and business opportunities are profitably linked. A well orchestrated publicity campaign is trying to per- suade you that the Dump is a "done deal". Don't fall for it! Don't assume that the Dump Battle is last; it has not yet truly begun. "It Ain't Over". Keep up the good fight.
