Butcher, baker, candlestick maker The above tbre professions or possible saying fmum years ago ran across our mind last week wbile attending the Clarke High School annual Co-op Career Fair. Although we didn't find a butcher, a baker or a candie stick maker we did fmnd a lot of other careers that affect our daily lives one way or another. It was not ail a doctor, lawyer or dentist and as a point it may be our times that have set some change in the pattern of a few years ago. Certainly the Co-operative program involving outside scbool opportunities for education is one factor in bringing about change. It is interest, we thought, that Eva Nicholis is now principal of the 11gb School after, some years back, being a main stay in boosting the educational co-op programn. Much of wbat exists to-day came tbrough her efforts of those former years. Certainly we can't forget the effort on tbe part of the kids wbo really make it work, in most cases, and in these cases justify the existence of the program. The most unfortunate part of the visit to the school is that by some means or other the pictures were a wipe-out. To say the least we were impressed and would give the students a pat on tbe back for their efforts and apparent enthusiasm. The eart before the horse The Ganarask a Region Conservation Authority by putting the cart before the horse bas galloped into some stiff opposition in their quest to undertake a Ganaraska River Watersbed study. After hiring consultants for the first phase of the study at a price of $40,000 tbey have yet to clear a way to finance the second phase of the study at a cost of sorne $ 120,000 to $ 140,000 depending to whom you bear from. If the second phase doesnt go'it would be reasonable to believe that the Authority could ring up a $40,000 expenditure as a total loss. Not something to be proud of these days. The Authority bas not been upfront entirely as to the second stage cost factor and keeps insisting that notbing is yet final as to the cost to the muaicipalities. This may be true to some extent but a worst case scenario seems to be $60,000 whicb if costed out as under the regular share basis would cost Hope Township $3, 240 and Claington (Durham Region) $2 1,600. Most of the opposition is coming from Hope Townsbip.and some of that opposition, according to debate in Canton, cornes from cost. Surely a cost to Hope of $3,240 for a $170,000 is not out of the way. It bas been said that if one mumicipality opposes the project it is dead. Hardly an attitude in a demnocratic system of government. The problem to a great degree bas been self-inflicted by tbe Authority itself. A lack of available information from the authority. The Autbority does have the power to proceed and charge the cost back to the municipalities. They could take a leadership role. Letter to the January 9, 1995 Roy Fonvester Editor Orono Weely Times. Dear Roy: You regularly run a column by Gord Milîs, MPP, and bie often comments on the cost savings program of the NDP (not nur) government. Today 1 received the fiftb maiing from is office, all sent first class and ail clear propaganda. I bave called bis office twice and written once but cannot bave may nane removed from bis mailing lEst. Reporting to constituents is Edîtor: admirable but the distribution of unwanted propaganda at taxpayers' expense is inex- cusable. Clearly this is part of bis carnpaign to gala re-election. Irresponsible decisions sucb as Social Contract legislatîon wbicb penalizes teachers, firemen, policemen and civil servants in Ontario show clearly the goverument of Mr. Milîs is morally banknipt and must resort to desperate propaganda_ techniques. I expect this will botly denied by Mr. Milîs as be cannot accept criticism. Yours truly Tom Henderson Trinity United Chumch seeks paring lent The Trinity United Church, Bowmanville; is looking to the municipality tô assist in providing a solution for parking for those using the facillties Of the Church edifice especiaiiy duning the week days. Mr. Hârold Hammond, representing the Church at council meeting on Monday spoke Of the problem, especiaily during the we@k when parking is at a premium. He citeil the case wbere upwartls of 50 mothers attending the weekly toy lending library have difficulty in finding parking in the area. At the presenit time the municipality bas a parking lot directly to the west of the cburch wbicb is desigtated for municipal staff and furtber parking kitty- corner from the church. The church itself bas accommodation for 15 to 18 vehicles. Mr. Hammond reviewed historical happenings dating down from 1934 when the Church owned the parking lot lands west of thie Church. H1e said the lands wero deeded over ta the Town of Bowmanville at that time with the understanding that Clarington Band will Co-op with students In a recent conversation with Mr. Dan kapp, bead of Arts for the Northumberland - Clarington Board of Education, it was learneil that the board bas given approval to a plan that wiil allow Clarke Higb Scbool students to co-op with the Clarington Band. Clarke Higb School students may join the Clarington Band and attend the weekly practices on Tbursday evening, play concerts Level of contaminants to be removed (Continued firom page 1) lands. Later Counc. Mary Novak said that the level was less than that found la orchards. Mayor Hamre asked Mr. Veldhuis put bis report in writing and submit it ta council. Mr. Veldhuis said that Deep River was still in the process as a bost community and is expected to continue until the issue is put to a referendum in June. Mr. Veldhuis also stateil that the local Liaison Group would bc finished with their work as of April lst, 1995. Counc. Scott asked Mr. Veldhuis if he had any concerns that in Port Hope two possible sites for storage of the waste are in caverns in the lake. Mr. Veldhuis replied that he would flot like to comment on what is happening in another community. Council has taken no action on the level of the dlean-up as requested by Mr. Veldhuis. They will await bis written report. if the use of the lands were to change significantly that the churcb could make dlaim on the lands again. At the time of the transfer, 1934, the lands were occupied by a driving shed which was dismantled by the municipality. H1e said the use of the lands as a public parking lot was not a problem for the churcb but in recent years the parking lot was designated for use by municipal staff--o-oy-rdtitis was flot the intent' of the land transfer agreement in 1934. Mr. Hammond did say that with the new facilities at the cburch and its growing use there is greater need for public parking which just is flot available. H1e asked that council assist with a solution to the problem. "I amrnfot asking for the lands back but for a solution to our problem," he said. The matter bas been referred to the Chief Administrative Officer, Mr. Bill Stockwell to consider with staff and with other interests and to report back to council and thus earn a credit in music, providing, like other courses, their instructor finds a level of iniprovement in ability. The music program operates as does a co-op prograni which is an active part of education for students at Clarke High School. In speaking with Mr. Barrie Hodgson, director of music for the Clarington Band, he said, the idea was a great one for everyone, the students and the concert band alike. He was most support of the plan whicb bas also been-approved by the executive of the concert band. Mr. Kapp said that Clarke Higb Scbool bas been notified of the approval by the board of the program and be was bopefuil that the sanie plan could be developed in other areas, Bowmanville and Cobourg.
