The chairman of the Downtown Oshawa Board of Management, Randy Elliott, approached the city's executive committee on Thursday, Jan. 29, to tell them the downtown business group has no more money to pay for customer parking. "Since November 1989 we have paid a total of $65,000 to support free Saturday parking."

WHITBY--A day care centre has joined the effort . to persuade the federal or provincial governments to fund the Early Childhood Education Connection (ECE Connection). The service, which is being used by a number of day care centres in Whitby, has been described as excellent. Christine Stevenson, director of the Gordon Street Children's Cottage Day Care Centre, said the federal government has cut its funding to the program. The program developed at the Ajax campus of Durham College has provided day care centres in the area with a wide range of services and aids including consultant services, kits, workshops, training and other resources. The day care centres which have benefitted from ECE Connection have been both public and privately owned. PORT PERRY--It will be two weeks before the illegal storage of tires on Scugog Island is resolved, say municipal and provincial officials. At a meeting held on Jan. 31, at .the Township-of Scugog's office, the situation regarding the storage was discussed. The tires have been on the site for more than one year. Officials from the Township, the Ministry of the Environment, Durham East MPP Gord Mills and the property owner were present at the meeting. Gord Elston, Lite lessee of the property, was charged in January 1991 with illegally storing the tires and contravening a zoning by-law, However, it wasn't until Mardi, 1991 that the township was able to get a conviction. Mr. Elston was given a $500 fine by the court and given six months to pay off the fine. He left the property with about 75,000 tires and the fine behind. Since that time, the property has been under guard at a cost of $10,000 per month over the last 12 months. At the meeting, all remaining parties agreed to accept some responsibility in the disposal of the tires. Mayor Howard Hall is hoping to reach a cost-sharing agreement for the-parties to split the bill. Mayor Hall would like to see the tires recycled while the Ministry of the Environment has suggested burying them. Another meeting has been scheduled for Friday, Feb. 14, to settle the issue.
