on XA COPE OR LAR wv RR DYSON TRERRIES i) AY 10 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 10, 1978 PPHS winding . | Region favours local hiring Following a lengthy and at times heated debate, Re- gional council last week vot- e favour of having Dur- ham residents employed when possible on construct- ion projects let by the regional municipality. The motion which carried last Wednesday by a 17-13 margin and included a cou- ple of amendments, is a somewhat modified version of a motion which went down to defeat two weeks earlier when Regional Chairman Walter Beath was called on to break a deadlocked vote. Both Scugog Mayor Law- rence Malcolm and councill- or R~g Rose continued their oppus' «on to the motion and voted against it last week. The defeated motion three weeks ago raised the ire of union officials in Durham Region as the Oshawa Labour council threatened to throw picket lines around the Regional Headquarters on Rossland Road in Whitby. The motion before the council last Wednesday ini- tiated by Oshawa councillors John DeHart and Allen Dewar cited the concern for the welfare -and- unemploy- ment rolls in Durham, and porters of the motion of playing "political games," and said that placing resi- dency restrictions on people looking for work could be contrary to the Canadian Bill of Rights, : Whitby councillor Joy Thompson was vehement in her opposition, asking whether it could be the tip of the ice-berg that could end up applying to all business -- and industry in Durham up activities By Sheila O'Reilly Most of Port High's major events haye passed by, but don't be discouraged there's more to come!
