College will get bigger Durham College in Oshawa has been given $5 million from the provincial government for construction of a major addition to the main campus. Colleges and Universities Minister Lyn McLeod made the announcement at a news confer- ence held at the College last Fri- day morning. The two storey addition (about 40,000 square feet) will be built in the west area of the cam- pus on land already owned by the College. Work is expected to get under- way in the near future with addi- tion ready. by September next year. Two large theatre style class- rooms (for up to 100 students) will be part of the addition, along with new labs for the design pro- gram, Mrs. McLeod said Friday that $300,000 was granted the College S eS | 436-9817 Services to Business || Corporate & Individual | Tax Planning & Preparation . * pa Tr * SYy mt ta ~ Bookkeeping 5K Payroll a * " Consulting Services to Jndividuals, Corporations -- CALL-- RICHARD LOWE, M.A.B.A. ~ Director & Chief Consultant INCLUDES: ® [ife-time Warranty FURNACE FINANCING FOR ONLY $32.2 last year for the design and pre- liminary work on the new addi- tion. As well, Durham this year will be getting $286,000 for reno- vations. In making the announcement last week Mrs. McLeod said Dur- ham College plays a vital role in the post-secondary education sys- tem, and the addition will help meet the classroom needs for a growing student population. There are currently about 2700 students at Durham, and College president Mel Garland said some courses like early child- hood education and law and seguri- ty will be expanding once the new wing opens. He admitted that the College has experienced difficulty with op- erating costs because of enrolment increases. The Minister pledged that colleges like Durham in areas of rapid population growth would get more financial help for opera- tions. Durham College currently has an annual budget of just over $31 million. Several local MPPs attended the news conference last Friday morning to hear the Minister an- nounce the $5 million grant allo- cation. 'New lights, fence could be installed at diamond Council agreed Monday morn- ing to take into consideration the installation of new lights and fences at the 'old' ball diamond on the lakefront following a request from Don Harper. Mr. r approached council, on behalf of the Men's Ball League, to erect new fence and in- stal new lights as soon as possi- ble for the coming season. 'Last fall, council agreed to go ~~ ahead and 'install drainage-tile on = both ball diamonds, with the men's league chipping-in half the cost. "We have paid our share and would now like to finish the pro- ject", Mr. Harper told members of council. When asked what share the ball club would be prepared to pay this time, Mr. Harper indicated that he felt that some of the project is the obligation of the township, but indicated if the only way to get it done was to pay half, the Ball League would try to raise the money through projects. "We cannot aford to pay for our half of the entire project (about $26,000) all at once", he said, but felt they could pay it over two years. »95 PER MONTH e Absolutely no interest ® /nstallation and Taxes e 2 year Service Plan ® Deluxe Burner The project was divided into two parts, the lighting - which will cost about $16,627 for six poles, with 16 light fixtures; and a fur- ther $8,338. for 631 ft of six-foot high mesh-wire fencing. All members of council agreed that the outfield fencing had to be done this spring, but some felt that the old 12' fence along the north side could be utilized for a couple more years. Roads superintendent Ronn MacDonald cautioned council about replacing this high fence (about 12") with a six-foot fence. "It may be unsightly, but it does protect people using the park and beach areas from line drive balls", he said. He suggested if council was to replace the fence, they should . price-out the cost of a 12' fence, - or a lower fence with a.row.of. trees planted along the north side to protect park users. The plan will be referred to bud- get talks, with action being taken as soon as possible. EET Tr aa Ye mr PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 12, 1988 -- 3 Food drive big success in Port Everywhere in the vicinity of the Big Smoke, people responded enthusiastically to the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank drive, and Scugog was no different. For three days over the Easter weekend (March 31, April 1,2) volunteers stationed themselves at the Scugog No. 1 (Port Perry) fire hall, accepting donations for the Operation Scugog store. Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank (similar in purpose to Oper- ation Scugog store) provided brown paper bags in the March 30 edition of the Toronto Star, and people filled them with food to give to the needy. Local organizers like Ann Wan- ninkhof couldn't be happier about the results. "It was tremendous!" she told the Star. "I was so glad I did it." She figures roughly that 250 people and organizations (like the fire department, the First Port Perry Beaver Colony, the Blackstock and Nestleton United Churches, United Church Youth Group, Senior Citizens) donated non-perishable food to the drive, making it a complete success. Mrs. Wanninkhof says the store is now well-stocked for providing food for the needy in Scugog, but as she says, it's got to last a long time, and more donations are al- ways, always welcome. "We are well-stocked, but it's a long time until Christmas," she says, referring to Operation Scu- gog's traditional drive. As for the store itself, Mrs. | Wanninkhof says it is doing well, and may be open more hours in' the near future.
