Commonly referred to as the "sunshine list", every March 31 the Province releases the names and incomes of public employees who earned more than $100,000 in the previous calendar year. The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act covers municipal governments, universities and colleges, school boards, hospitals, Crown agencies, provincial ministries and others who are paid using tax dollars. A total of 14 Town of Halton Hills employees made this year's list with Chief Administrative Office Dennis Perlin at the top with a salary of $178,393. Director of Recreation and Parks Terry Alyman, Director of Library Services Jane Diamanti, Town treasurer and Director of Corporate Services Ed Desousa, Fire Chief Brent Marshall and Town Engineer and Director of Infrastructure Services Chris Mills followed at $138,398 each. Halton Healthcare Services president and CEO John Oliver was the highest-paid Halton official at $474,795. A total of 83 HHS employees made the list. The provincial government is pressing forward with plans to tie the salaries of hospital CEOs directly to the performance of their medical institution. New legislation crafted to bring more accountability to hospitals, called the Excellent Care For All Act, is scheduled to come into effect soon. It will likely lower the take-home pay of hospital CEOs who regularly top the list. Ontario's hospitals soon must sub- mit reports to the government on how they plan to improve their performance. The success of the hospital in meeting those goals will be tied to the pay structure for those at the top of the facility's management structure. Below is a list of the other Halton organizations with the number of employees who made the list and significant earners: Halton District School Board (223) · Director Wayne Joudrie-- $158,302 · Associate Director Ruth Peden-- $189,026 · 11 superintendents earned between $158,302 and $166,789 Halton Catholic District School Board (113) · Director Michael Pautler-- $198,944 · Executive director Human Resources Joseph O'Hara-- $153,023 · Nine superintendents earned between $127,364 and $165,284.

Rock n' Roll 10 Line Clarification: Garage sale painting sold in 2007 Due to inaccurate information provided to The Independent & Free Press, a story in the March 31 edition contained two errors requiring clarification. The story, Women seek heirloom sold in garage sale, incorrectly stated the year a painting titled, Peterborough Clock Tower at Night, was inadvertently sold in a garage sale in Georgetown. The painting was sold in 2007. Also, the owner of the painting, Bruce MacLean, has not moved from Halton Hills, but is in the process of doing so. The Independent & Free Press apologizes for any confusion caused by the story. 79 Main Street South, Georgetown 905-877-3388
