2 The Canadian Statesman. Itowmanville. January 11.1989 Tidbits from PORT PERRY -- The warm weather of New Year's left two Lake Scugog snowmobilers with a cold, wet feeling when their snowmobiles fell through the ice early on the morning of January 1. Tom Laroche and Don Darncey, both of Port Perry, escaped injury and even got their snowmobiles back when they were retrieved later in the day. The pair had been travelling travelling along a narrow section of the lake about two kilometres south of highway 7A. OSHAWA -- A $4 million housing project soon will be under construction in Osliawa, designed to house battered women. Jointly announced by the federal and provincial governments, the 40-unit development development is sponsored by the Osliawa YWCA. The building building is a non-profit venture and will require subsidies of over $600,000 annually to operate. That cost will be shared by both levels of government, 60% by the "feds" and 40% by the province. OSHAWA -- Longtime Osliawa hydro commissioner Gord Burnett is plenty upset with Osliawa city hall. He says that the City owes the Hydro Commission $11,175.44 in interest on an unpaid hydro bill the city collected from a bankrupt business. The City four months ago presented the commission with $58,000 --the amount which Fittings Ltd. owed when it went out of business. But the city has not sent the accumulated interest payments which it collected from the business' new owners along with the original original $58,000. Mr. Burnett has threatened to cut off the power to city hall if the interest is not handed oyer post haste. He did not know if such drastic action would garner any support on his commission, but he did say that any work done for the city in the future would have to be paid for in advance. Courtice Still Unhappy From Page One position we're in after meeting with Oshawa council," says the Courtice resident. The residents believe they have a lot to offer Oshawa, particularly the residential tax base arising from a population of about 7,000. But the large tax base is one reason Newcastle is determined not to let Courtice go. In addition to the growing growing residential tax base, Councillor Hannah cited the potential for industrial industrial expansion in Courtice which would bring in many tax dollars. "The potential is quite obvious. Oshawa is running out of room," he said. He added that Canada Post has granted approval for a Courtice post office franchise which he is hopeful will be located on the corner of Pre- stonvale Road and Highway Two. And in response to numerous complaints complaints that there arc no streetlights along Nash Road where S.T. Worden Public School is located, he said, "I've asked the chairman of works to check a number of areas for streetlights. We're going on a tour soon to see a number of areas." Mr. Brown, however, is determined determined to push forward and reports that several people are still circulating circulating the petition. It now has well over 1,000 signatures. "I've lived here six months, he stated, "and I've had one constant battle. Almost every person we've talked to feels they are beating their heads against a wall." "We have Oshawa phone numbers, so why do we live in Newcastle?" Whelan Speaks at Lions PORT PERRY -- Port Perry's second public school is well under way and should be complete by September, September, 1989. That is the word from the Board of Education. The school is located a mile and a half north of R.H. Cornish Public School which, as the only public school in the town, is strained to accommodate accommodate all of the area's students. Included in the new school is a quarter-of-a-million-dollar daycare centre. OSHAWA -- Everybody's favourite basketball team was in Oshawa on Wednesday, January 4. The Harlem Harlem Globetrotters entertained over 2,500 enthusiasts at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, once again defeating defeating the Washington Generals, a team with the world's longest losing streak. The margin of victory was 87- 74. Many of the team's familiar gags brought choruses of laughter and applause from the crowd. WHITBY -- The vacant Cadbury property in south Whitby soon will have a new owner and operator. Rowntree Ltd. hopes'to close the purchase of the Whitby property this week, once it receives approval from its parent company, Nestle. Once the deal is closed, Rowntree will begin refurbishing the plant and preparing to transfer 1,000 jobs from a Toronto plant in the next three years. The 70-year-old west Toronto plant is no longer meeting the needs of the candy maker, said a Rowntree vice-president, Stewart Dryer. The Whitby plant was purchased from Cadbury by Neilson two years ago and the new owner promptly shut the plant down sending 420 workers out looking for new jobs. Rowntree makes ; such well known products qs Smarties, After Eight mints, and Coffee Crisp chocolate bars. The company's company's Scarborough plant is unaffected by the acquisition. acquisition. OSHAWA -- Oshawa and its surrounding communities communities received some good news last week when General Motors announced its 1988 sales figures. The number one automaker had its best sales year since 1980, buoyed considerably by an all-time record record in truck sales. Nearly 180,000 General Motors trucks were purchased by Canadians last year. A large percentage of these trucks were manufactured in Oshawa in the revamped and redesigned truck plant. GM's car sales remained virtually unchanged, rising by 0.1 per cent. The automaker's total sales rose by four per cent to 558,735 units. OSHAWA -- Citing a dispute over class size, Durham's 1,300 high school teachers have voted to strike January 23 if necessary. The date coincides with the first day of mid-year exams in many of the region's schools. The Friday vote was overwhelming, with 85.5% of those who voted opting to strike. The Board of Education has promised to hire 40 teachers over the next two years to alleviate the class crowding crowding dilemma. The teachers insist that the Board hire 68 teachers next year. Kim McCullouch, chairman of negotiations for the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, complained that Durham teachers are faced with larger class sizes and lower staff levels than the majority of members in their union. Board chairman Lorna Murphy said different boards measure class and staff sizes differently, thus making a direct comparison difficult and meaningless. meaningless. From Page One He pointed out that many of the subsidies subsidies to farmers are direct and therefore therefore obvious. But things such as highway highway construction costs and the massive subsidization of postsecondary postsecondary education in Canada far outstrip what farmers receive. The only difference is that no one thinks of these government expenditures as subsidies. Mr. Whelan is anxious to remind us that they are. "Doctors and professors receive a much higher percentage of their salary salary as subsidies than farmers do," he claimed. "We could pay for food like healthcare, with a broad base of tax collection and universal availability." availability." By way of boasting about Canada's first-class agricultural system the one-time Liberal leadership candidate candidate related his experience of showing showing Mikhail Gorbachev the Canadian system. He reported that the Soviet leader is very interested in reforming reforming the agricultural sector in his country. "The Soviet Union is considered a superpower, but why doesn't it have a food . system? Mostly because nonfarmers nonfarmers were making the decisions," offered Mr. Whelan. In closing he offered a little philosophical philosophical food for thought from Socrates: Socrates: "When the land lies idle and barren all other forms of life will suffer." suffer." Trash Problem From Page One and re-use. He lamented the incredible incredible amount of packaging North Americans throw away each year. And he suggested that the federal government government should step in and sharply reduce the amount of packaging used in Canada. Recycling is also very important and ranked third on Mr. Gilbert's wishlist. Acknowledging its importance, importance, he warned that it is receiving a disproportionate amount of exposure at the expense of reduction and reuse. Just above landfill was incineration. incineration. Pointing to Swedish studies and to other scientific evidence, the 13- year Toronto councillor said "incin- __eration is the bad boy of waste disposal, disposal, but evident shows it ie# better 'than landfill. Accordingly, he hopes that during the ten years his interim solution wnl buy for the Toronto area municipalities, they can set up workable workable incineration plants. He said that the cost of such facilities can be brought into line with landfill operations operations by selling electricity and steam generated at the plants. Accordingly, "there will be a strong economic imperative to have the incinerators near where the energy energy is needed." This means near population population centres. Mr. Gilbert reported sensing a new spirit of co-operation among different regional governments and officials and predicted that the regional authority authority investigating waste management management may be only the first of many such bodies to tactile problems which affect many areas surrounding Metro Metro Toronto. He suggested that transit woes and airport difficulties could also be solved in this fashion. In closing, he reminded the audience audience that "tnroughout history affluence affluence and waste have gone together. Our challenge is to break that link; solve our waste problems while remaining remaining affluent."
