The focus of this effort was to raise enough money in order that a full time Youth Coordinator could be hired in Clarington.

Clarington, the fundraising Ruling from U.S. Arbitrator Awaited All Quiet at GM Plants In Oshawa GM's Oshawa truck plant, which produces the Chevrolet Silverado and the CMC Sierra, ran out of parts earlier this week as a result of a work stoppage at parts plants in Flint, Mich. The truck plant was the last of GM's Oshawa operations to shut down. Approximately 3,000 workers have been laid off from the plant, bringing the total number of CAW Local 222 members out of work to about 12,000, says Local President Mike Shields. And he doesn't necessarily think they'll be back to work anytime soon. "They'd just as soon be back at work, but they understand what's going on. They're frustrated," said Shields of his union membership. An arbitrator was called in to determine the legality of the strike Wednesday, but GM spokesperson Greg Gibson said, as of Thursday, he hadn't heard if any headway headway had been made. There is currently no production taking place at the truck plant. Only skilled trades, maintenance maintenance and some production production staff were to remain on the job, said Gibson. "That way, we'll be in a situation when we dp start .up again that we'li be able Tlo do it very, very quickly," said Gibson.

During police attempts to subdue a street fight, a man apparently raised his voice to Montsteven after being cautioned about his coarse language. Montsteven said when the men then tackled him, he pressed a button on his belt which opened the cruiser door and let the dog out. The first attacker suddenly suddenly found Chase clamped onto his arm while Constable Phil Edgar struggled to bring the second attacker under control. But the attacker then turned on the dog, punching punching and kicking at Chase who would not release his grip. The police eventually used pepper spray to stop the fighters, Chase was seen later by a vet and treated for cuts and bruises. Two Oshawa men, aged 20 and 19, arc charged with assaulting police.
