Ray Green, assistant director of Operations for the Town‘s Public Works Department, surveys some of the shoreline damage at Carrington Promenade, just one of 10 locations slated for repair as outlined in a new report.

Green characterized damage to the shoreline since 1973 â€" the last time water levels reached such heights â€" as "fairly insignificant."

Scheel said no apology was necessary after Burlington trustee Linda Glover, at Thursday‘s meetâ€" ing, asked if Scheel would be takâ€" ing care of the apology. The letter from the residents â€" Kathleen Hadley, Marilyn Henderson and Anne Jones, all of Oakville, and Sandy Van Harten of Burlington â€" described a report compiled by Scheel on the Key communicator program as "like a gossipy supermarket tabloid." It stated the writers had waited 17 months for Ontario‘s Freedom of Information and Protection of Personal Privacy Commissioner to "It‘s not my program. I‘ve never attacked people individualâ€" ly. I‘m sorry, but no apology is necessary," said Scheel at Thursday‘s board meeting where the letter appeared. Glover said, in view of Scheel‘s response, she would be drafting a motion herself in regard to the issue to put before the board at its next meeting. But the program came under attack by Oakville Ward 3 trustee John Scheel who followed through on campaign promises to rid the school board of the proâ€" gram. The school board resisted revealing the identities of the key communicators until ordered by Ontario‘s Freedom of Information Commission. They included local politicians, business persons, community volunteers and others. hree Oakville residents and one from Burlington are demanding the Halton Board of Education apologize to key communicators.
