Re a -- Oshawa gets into the juggling act The simmering issue of representation on Durham Regional Council took a new " twist July 12 when Oshawa Piayor Jim Potticary intro- duced a notice of motion which, if passed, would set the number of seats on the Council at one per 12,000 population. - Potticary's motion comes -on the heels of a notice of motion introduced June 28 by Ajax councillor Colin Mackie wy ffich calls for a reduction in the number of Oshawa seats -on council from 11 to 9, and an increase of one each in the number of seats for both Ajax and Whitby. | Piano results These are the: piano exam results that were held by the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music at Oshawa: Eleanor Bailey, Grade V received 76 marks - Honours; Lisa Bailey, Grade 1 received 88 marks - First Class Honours. Lisa received the highest @arks in the Oshawa exams for Grade 1 piano. Congratu- . lations. " HOSPITAL REPORT Week Ending July 13th * At the regular meeting July12, councillor Mackie said he wanted his motion put over another two weeks before it is brought to the council for full debate and a vote. He declined to go into full details of the reasons for the "motion, other than a concern that the two seats in Ajax now held on the council has not kept up with the popu- lation growth of the com- munity.' Potticary's motion to peg the number of seats on exact population figures .is certain to get no support from re- 'gional councillors in the smaller communities like Scugqe or Uxbridge, both of which have less than 12,000 people. , If the motion" car- ried, Scugog, Pepe and Community Care Brock could end up with only one regional councillor as- opposed to the two they have now. The motion would also mean that "Oshawa, with a population of about 110,000 people, would have its repre- sentation cut to' nine mem- bers from the present 11. In fact, based on a total population of 250,000, the motion from Potticary, if adopted, would: reduce the number of seats on Regional council from the present 30 to 21, and would mean _ at least one less councillor from almost all of the eight area municipalites which make up Durham. It is expected that the Mackie and the Pofficary motions will come under debate "when the council meets again July 26. service grows in Scugog Twp. . Regional Co-ordinator, Richard 'Johnston, reports that as of June 30, 1978, Community Care has over 800 clients registered in the seven communities present- ly served by the programme in the Region of Durham. "That figure represents a jump of 50 per cent since * March", said Johnston. + Scugog Community Care has doubled its clientele in the past three months from 2 clients to 90.

"There is a continuing need for volunteers in Port Perry where the greatest 'demand for services exists," he added. Interested people should call Mrs. Fulford weekday mornings at 985- 8461. Community Care provides services through volunteers, to the elderly to assist them to live independently in their own homes or apartments. ~ In some localities, where other services are not avail- able, Community Care assis- tance is extended to the handicapped and others under emergency needs. The programme also pro- - vides specially trained 'Mental Health volunteers. "+ The only area not present- ly receiving services is Ux- ~ bridge where a local steering committee has been meeting since the end of May to plan services and Johnston thinks that an Uxbridge office will ~ be opened by Mid October. "Then every community in the Region will be partici- pating in the programme", he said. Johnston also reports that the 'three suminer student employees collecting inior- mation on 'Community Care's first year of opera- tions have been uncovering some interesting facts. Of the first 407 clients files reviewed 46-per cent were of clients over 75 years of age and, there were almost exactly as many over 85 years of age, as between 60 gq. and 65 years of age. "What is surprising about -the high average age"', John- ston said, *'is that 60 per cent of these clients are living in their own homes." compares with 19 per cent in senior citizens apartments and 16 per cent in unsubsi- dized apartments. Only 5 per cent live with family or in shared accomodation. . The students make their final report to the Regional Community Care Committee on August 24. They are presently interviewing ran- domly selected clients for their opinions about the help * tiiey have received and about their attitudes to in- stitutional care.
