Page 2 The Claringlon/Courticc Independent, Bowmanville, Saturday, October 18, 1997 Wood You Believe?....It's a 16-Foot Lumberjack! Sculptor W.B. Fraser has just begun carving a 16-foot lumberjack which will be installed in front of the Tyrone Mill sometime next month. He began his project project on the Thanksgiving Weekend, making the big bools which will be at the base of the statue. The work will be made mainly from local cedar. A model of the lumberjack figure is shown at the upper left. Mill visitors arc already joining a contest to devise a name for the new landmark. Some of the suggestions so far include: Tyrone Miller, Timmy Timber, Woody, and Chipper. Fraser's sculptures have included the musicians oma set of pillars outside the Bowmanville Visual Arts Centre and a 14-foot cowboy at the Pickering Museum. Students Send Message to MPP From page 1 "How much do you take away from them before they stop going above and beyond the call of duty?" However, Conservative MPP John O'Toole wasn't buying claims about overworked overworked teachers. "Everybody today who makes over $50,000 a year works more than eight hours (per day)," lie told students. "The public who pay for education expect that." He pointed out that stu dents "get less teaching time per year in our system than the national average." "As a system, we spend more per capita, and our results aren't equal to other jurisdictions in Canada." Bill 160 is really a restructuring bill, O'Toole said. He said it was brought in as the province prepares to halve the number number of school boards and take over funding of eduction eduction from municipalities next year. "If the province is going to fund it, they have to have authorization to set standards," he says. Nevertheless, O'Toole expects the bill will see amendments before it becomes law. Public hearings begin on Monday. Teacher unions have threatened to stage a province-wide walk-out if changes arc not made. O'Toole agreed with the students that Premier Harris sent a "positive sig nal" in dropping John Snobclcn from his cabinet in favor of a new education education minister, Dave Johnson. "Dave Johnson is a very professional, respectful respectful and competent minister and has resolved a number of difficult issues,"' he said. The students left their meeting with O'Toole satisfied satisfied with his promise to present the petition at the next opportunity in the Ontario Legislature. <uoer DeaK during our Year-end CLEAROUT R % : Chamber i Sponsors ; Mayoralty Forum The Oshawa and vClarington Chamber of 'Commerce and The , Canadian Statesman will •(.host a Clarington Mayoral • Forum on Thursday, October 30th.
