The Clarington Independent, Bowmanville, Saturday, July 23,1994 3 Study Will Consider How Information Highway Can Benefit Local Health Care Consumers From page 1 "It just doesn't make sense to me. This is being railroaded through!" On the same side of the fence was Oshawa Councillor Margaret Shaw who said: "It is my understanding understanding that Regional Council doesn't give grants. "Will there be a change in policy?," policy?," Councillor Shaw inquired. "No," was the reply from Mayor Gerri Lynn O'Connor, the acting regional regional chairman. "Then this discussion is going no where," Councillor Shaw concluded. concluded. Whitby Councillor Joe Drumm said he would vote against granting of $1,500 for the study. Trying another tactic, Councillor Drumm asked, "Is this just the opening opening up of the bag?" Councillors Consider Extension of Service For Handi-Transit Clarington councillors have voted voted to inquire about the extension of Handi-Transit into Clarington for weekend scheduled pick-ups. Currently, Handi-Transit picks up and returns customers in Clarington Clarington during the week. Councillor Larry Hannah said the move is being made to ensure disabled disabled individuals in Clarington have the service they need. Mr. Hanna, the spokesman for the telecommunications project, said: "There will not be any more requests from this stage of the game." Clarington Councillor Ann Dres- linski noted she had objected to the request at the committee level when it came up on the agenda. "I think it's a bad project. We toured Hillsdale the other day where the conditions are such that there are gang washrooms. "I think that if there is any money money floating around, it should go to the homes for the aged and private washrooms." Susan Dulny also rejected the idea, noting she has rejected the request request previously debated at the Social Social Services meeting. On the other side of the issue of whether to give the grant to the committee was Oshawa Councillor Pauline Beal, who wanted to ensure that, by funding the project, Durham wasn't letting itself in for more requests requests for money. Clarington Councillor Larry Hannah Hannah noted he would support the granting of $1,500 because "the information information gathered could be very valuable to us and the residents of Durham." Councillor Hannah said the study could provide necessary details and the knowledge gleaned could help to cut costs in the future. Maurice Brenner, a Pickering Councillor, said he was "astounded" by the discussion regarding the funds. "The study's benfactors are the residents of Durham Region," Councillor Councillor Brenner stated quite emphatically. emphatically. The study would also help "to improve the quality of life in Durham Durham Region." The region's Chief Administrative Administrative Officer, Garry Cubitt, told councillors the $1,500 commitment made to the Durham Region Area Health Care Telecommunications Project committee did not mean that the region was in for the long haul. "The region's involvement can stop after the study is completed," Cubitt said. "This does not mean we will be going into any on-going situation." However, Cubitt did note that "the potential exists for continual support." Optimist Club Volunteers Set up Fireworks for Canada Day • >'■■■ / ' ■ : ' ■ 1 X :t :■ " : / ' . .. / ' ' .
