?1'r1979 Council RPegional Councillors Recommend $P500 Raiise, Newcastle's representatives -on Durham Regional Council were divided last week on the _juestion of increasing salaries for council members next Year. Counillors Bob Dykstra and Bruce Taylor voted in favor of a recommended raise for elected officiais whiie ,Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard and Counillor Ted Woodyard voted against. At a session in Whitby Wednesday,, June '14, members of Regional Council voted 15-9 in favor of a raise for regional councillors next year. The decision would give an extra $1,000 per year to Regional Chairman Walter Beath. It would provide an additional $500 per year to members of council. Since the action taken last week is only a 'recommendation to the councillors who wiil be elected at' the end of this year, the raises must be endorsed when Durham's new slate of elected officiais take their places. 'The' present salary for, coôuncillors stands at $12,480 per year, however, regional councillors receive extra remuneration for their duties at the local council level. In Newcastle, councillors are paid $5,700 for local council duties. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said he would flot support the extra salary being recommended by the Durham Region's management committee because he said it was not the right time to raise the salaries. "It's not the appropriate time to do it", he said. He noted that there are discrepancies between salaries paid for regional duties and ones paid for local council duties. He said he believed the whole matter shouid be reviewed. Newcastle Councillor Bob Dykstra said he supported the recommended pay increase. He said counciliors should indicate their stand on the issue at present. Both Counillor Dykstra and Mayor Rickard indicated that their council duties were a fuil-time _job. "I spend pretty Well all my tîme at council, work", commented In these times of rising taxes and ever increasing restrictions upon our freedom, des- pite ail these limita- tions, if gives me great pleasure to announce the arrival of a tax deduction.

Oshawa Mayor Jim Pottîcary was among the ranks of councillors who opposed the raise for next, year's regional officials. He said it is usually the job of individual councils to review salaries and added that this review generally takes place about a month after elections. "Our mandate runs out November 30," said John Aker, an Oshawa councillor. He saidhe believed the new council should decide the salary issue for itself., It arrived June thir- teenth, my thanks for the safe delivery of the fragile bundie are ex- tended to Dr. Westgarth and the maternity staff of Bowmanville Memo- rial Hospital.

Bowmanville 623-5408 First Step Taken in Moving, Ministry to Durham Region Two months ago the Treasurer of Ontario, Darcy McKeough, announced that the Ministry of Revenue would be relocated from Queen's Park to Oshawa; on Thursday night the first concrete step in that direction was taken. Lorne Maeck, Minister of Revenue, told an audience of approx imately 40 people at the Mcbaughlin Art Gallery that a liaison committee had been formed to help enice the 1000 or so ministry personnel to move into the Durham Region. Garnet Rickard,, Mayor of Newcastle, is one of the 24 who will serve on that committee and attended the meeting. His prime concern is to get as many of those ministry employees as possible to move into Newcastle., "Why should they move to Oshawa'?", said the Mayor, "Newcastle's got a lot to offer too." The committee is made up of representatives from across the region and bas four major functions: to provide a link between the Ministry of Revenue and the business, professioûnal and cultural interests of the community; to assist the ministry in acquainting its staff with the Durham Region: to provide a forum in which the progress of the various aspects of the relocation program can be discussed with the community and to keep the Regional community advised of the extent of the requirement for housing and other services which will resuit in the relocation of the staff., According to the ministry's releases, the committee will perform its functions by means, of meetings, information clinics, and special events. Mr. Maeck stated that he wanted to get together with the members every six months or so for informal meetings. "Through questionnaire responses, as well as the various questions posed daily to Branch Director, the Personnel Services Branch and relocation staff, it is apparent that our employees need a great deal of informa- tion, if they are to decide wisely and objectively whether or not to relocate with the minîstry and then whether to move their househoids or to commute," said the minister. "Revenue employees require information on the Durham communities in which they may be giving information on schools, shopping, daycare facilities, health facilities, cultural and recreational activities, libraries, housing and employ- ment opportunities for spouses and family." The sit e of the new ministry office is bounded by King, Centre, and Athol Streets in Oshawa and is 1.7 acres in size. The ministry purchased it for 2,455,000. At this time, there are several buildings on the site, however,,these are only being leased until the construction date. Preliminary design work is now being conducted by the Ministry of Government Services and it is expected that the building will provide approximately 370,000 square feet of gross floor area, somne of which will be utilized for commercial purposes. Only a limited amount of parking will be provided on site. There seems to be littie doubt in anyone's mind that such a move wili benefit the whole region indirectly. The new influx of capital and the jobs created will be welcomed by all. But, as Mayor Rickard points out, it's Up to Newcastle to display its own attractive- ness and finer points if it hopes to obtain more direct benefits.

Mel Morton moved to pay outstanding bills, seconded by Dan Gould. A message from Blake Sandford, co-ordinator, Ont. Region N.F.U. was read, concerning the tests reported on CBC Radio noon farm broadcast; 10 sample of U.S. beef livers and 10 samples Canadian and found extra- ordinary high amounts of the drug Diethylstilbestrol or DES. He has sent a letter to Hon. Eugene Whelan protest- ing the tardy way goverament has monitered the so-cailed- ban on the DES drug. He is alarmed to hear that the tests revealed samples as high as 3.72 parts per million - flot per billion the usual measurement used, from U.S. imports and a high 1.94 parts per million in the Canadian sample. The drug DES, a so-called cattie growth stimulant, is supposed General Motors employees as an excellent example for the ministry's staff. Many GM workers live in the municipality of Newcastle and travel in and out to work everyday. According to Mayor Rickard, he and council will be investigating the matter to see what they can do. The mayor delivered a' short' report to the councillors on the liaison committee meeting Monday. to be banned in Canada and ahl U.S. cattle imported are supposed to be certified as free fromn any traces of it. Mr. Sandford advised Mr. Whelan that the Government had better be more vigilant as no doubt most consumers will be alarmed by CBC's farm show revalations because Canadians were led to believe the ban was effective. He, said people who make a buck from" importing meats don't seemn to care about peoples health and perhaps some fe ed companies too, as DES has shown up in Canadian Beef, where the use of this drug is illegal! Our members felt that Guelph laboratories were frequently inaccurate in fertilizer and perhaps in other thîngs, and tended to cover up irregularities. The Potato Marketing Board plan was discussed. Members feit that powers to control prices and set production quotas were lacking. They also believed that they needed the same subsidy as is being granted to growers in the Maritimes in view of the terrible harvest conditions in 1977, here. 'We have heard that the remaining low priced PET potatoes are now in the hands of potato, brokers in Toronto, to be sold at much higher prices. A letter is to be sent to protest being lef t out on the potato subsidy. The auditors report found the books to be accurate and was accepted. The next local meeting will be July 11, at the home of Dan and Lucille Gould, Nestieton. The District picnic will be Sunday, July 23 at Hope Milîs Park. The NFU youth exchange will be July 17 to 25.
