Two Oakville service clubs planning to hold major fundraisers at townâ€"owned facilities this year had their rental fees for the events waived by town council on Monday night. Similar requests by the two clubs â€" Oakville Lions Club and Rotary Club of Oakville â€" had been rejected by the town‘s community services committee just last week. Last week, director of parks and recreation Bob Perkins told the committee requests for rental fee waivers by service clubs are expected to total about $12,000 in 1993. He said the figure represents "lost" rental fees for townâ€"owned facilities. But the service club representatives argued the fee waivers would have little or no impact on the average taxpayer despite claims by town staff the waivers repâ€" resent "lost" income to the town. "This fee waiver is not an expense to the town," Rotary Club spokesperson Mark Farrow told council. "There‘s been talk about the potential loss of revenue, but these facilities aren‘t booked 100% of the time." Farrow said the Rotary Club has not been charged a rental fee by the town for the past 20 years for the club‘s annual Lobsterfest. The event, which will be held in June at the River Oaks Recreation Centre, will raise about $15.000 for Halton Women‘s Place, he The club makes sure the event is not scheduled on a night when the arena has already been booked to a paying customer. Farrow said the event often attracts people who are seeing the municipal facility for the first time and may decide to hold their own event there in the future. _ The Halton Board of Education will set up a study committee to examine whether academic subâ€" jects are being crowded out of the student curricuâ€" lum by other social issues. Cassidy said the committee â€" to study the impact of the increasing number of social, medical and environmental issues on curricula â€" was more to "catalog" what‘s being lumped into curricula rather than to "challenge" it. By ANGELA BLACKBURN Oakville Beaver Staff He withdrew a similar request in late January after some trustees expressed problems with the makeâ€"up of the committee. said Lions Club representative Jim Norton, on hand to request a rental fee waiver for the club‘s annual "Super Draw" at the Oakville arena in May, said the The committee was established at the urging of Burlington school trustee Don Cassidy, Thursday night. It was the second time Cassidy had brought the committee to the board for approval. "I‘m concerned about social, medical and enviâ€" ronmental issues crowding out 2+2=4," he told trustees when he first raised the issue. Theft from auto suspects arreste Five Mississauga residents are facing charges in conâ€" nection to a series of theft from autos in the area of Sixth Line last week. The charges were laid after Halton Regional Police Constables Tom Poster and Duncan Taylor were on a routine patrol on Sixth Line and stopped a 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza containing three persons Feb. 11th. The officers found a quantity of stereo equipment â€" five AM/FM cassette stereos, an equalizer and a kicker (speaker) box worth approximately $4,500 inside the car. "Investigation revealed the stolen property had been obtained from cars entered in that area," said Det. Sgt. Peter Hodgson. SOMETHING SMELLS Committee to see if academics taking a backseat to other issues in schools St. Dominic‘s Grade 8 student Jennifer Sandilands‘ school science fair project may have been about the sense of smell, but it definitely wasn‘t a stinker, Matthew McCormick was named the overall winner (also first in the biological category) of the school science fair while other top finâ€" ishers included Simone Sklizovic (secondâ€"biological), Matthew Carlini (thirdâ€"biological), Angela Cowan (firstâ€"behavioral), Peter Zambosco (secondâ€"behavioral), Bruno Atristain (thirdâ€"behayâ€" joral), Aoife Earls (firstâ€"pure physical), Leach Karges (firstâ€"applied physical), Tom Watson (secâ€" ond applied physical), and Kevin Gibbons (thirdâ€"applied physical). (Photo by Peter McCusker) A j _ Robin Chadha, 18, and a 17â€"yearâ€"old male yot offender, both from Mississauga, each face a charge theft over $1,000. f As the result of further investigation by Oakvill Criminal Investigation Bureau‘s new task force, t other people were also charged in connection to t breakâ€"ins. Delilah Georgette Ryan, 18, Steven Samuels, 21 a a 17â€"yearâ€"old male young offender, all frc Mississauga, each face a charge of possession of sto property. fee waivers cost to the individual taxpayers is practiâ€" cally nil. Norton said the club will raise $40,000 which will be donated to various community groups, including the Oakville Fire Department. t The three parties were charged with possession stolen property and released to appear in court n« month. Cassidy‘s motion originally rose at the time t board reviewed continuance of its outdoor educati policy. P The issue became more clouded, however, followâ€" ing staff comments the "potential" revenue from the fee waivers had already been included in the town‘ 1993 operating budget. The town‘s finance director and treasurer explaine a procedure was put in place so that fee waiver approved by town council would be replaced throug a "feeâ€"waiver account so parks and recreation wasn‘ penalized by council‘s decision." However, Seguin said only $1,500 was budgete and the fee waivers exceeded that amount. "We thought the amount was reasonable at the tim but the error has come back to haunt us," she said. The committee will consist of a superintende coordinator, two or more trustees, and equal rep; sentation from elementary and secondary schools. Cassidy asked for a preliminary report to before the board by May 31, 1993. Seguin said the problem could be solved by th budget committee increasing the feeâ€"waivers expens account by $10,500 to allow the fees to be waived i 1993. Because of the confusion, some councillors argue the fee waivers requests be deferred to the Feb. 25t budget meeting, but that motion was defeated. "Regardless of its origin, a teacher‘s focus on a of these issues represents in addition to an academ curricula that already is crowded. Is somethi given up to accommodate these new priorities asked Cassidy. Ward 3 regional councillor Keith Bird, said his fir choice was to defer the requests, but then supporte waiving the requests for the two service clubs on tj condition town staff examine the issue of fee waiver "We charge different groups different fees depen ing on the sort of activities they want to hold," t said. "I agree it‘s embarrassing. We can let these tw go but we‘ve got to get a handle on what it‘s going | cost. We haven‘t approved the budget yet and no we‘re going to spend $10,000. It‘s folly." Cassidy said the board is often asked to incorp rate social, medical or environmental issues into tl school curricula. Some, like AIDS and the practice of race and et nocultural equity are legislated by the Ontar Ministry of Education. Others, like health activities for students, eny ronmental conservation, and awareness for preve tion of family violence, come from advoca groups. Instead, council agreed to grant the requests of th two service clubs, and report back on the issue of fe waivers at the special council meeting. i "I have found the procedure somewhat embarras ing," said Ward 2 councillor Kathy Graham. "I thin we should let these groups go home and get on wit their fundraising and the rest of the report be dea with Feb. 25th." “7 cbr )9 a
