Watch for the kids and support them generously. tted with Trustees accept sketch plans for new $25 million education facility Durham Board of Education trustees recently approved the conceptual sketch plans for the new education centre/ secondary school combined pro- ject. The $25-million facility will replace the existing board headquarters in Oshawa and will include a much-needed Whitby high school. The facility will be located on the north side of Taunton Road near Anderson Street in Whit- by. In an interview with the Port Perry Star, Scugog trustee Bob- bie Drew said the facility is very functional and aesthetical- ly pleasing without being ex- travagent. Although Mrs. Drew is not a member of the board's educa- tion centre design committee, she attended as many of the meetings as possible. "They really put a lot of thought intoit," she said. The education centre will be located at the front of the prop- erty, while the high school will be located further back to pro- vide students with direct access to the playing fields. As well as classrooms, a gymnasium and a library, the high school will house a day care facility. A link building, which will house shipping and receiving departments, a cafeteria, and other elements common to both Candidates "off and running" Candidates in the Nov. 12 municipal election are off and running. When nominations closed on Friday at 5 p.m., 24 municipal and school board candidates had officially declared their in- tention to run for office in Scu- gog. Breaking out of the starting gate, the 1991 election appears to be a real blockbuster. Challenging Mayor Howard Hall for the top seat on town- ship council is Glenn Malcolm. Mr. Malcolm has served one term as Ward 4 representative. Mr. Hall is completing his first term as mayor and has also rep- resented Ward 2 in previous terms. Colin Kemp, a first-time can- didate will take on incumbent Yvonne Christie for the region- al councillor seat. Mrs. Christie is seeking her second term as Scugog's representative at Dur- ham regional council. Scugog's biggest battle is for the Ward 1 spot on council. Present councillor, Neil Hunt- er, opened up the seat when he announced he would not be seeking re-election. Connie Southern, one of the candidates who challenged Mr. Hunter in the 1988 election, has decided to take a second {ol VLe{o el Redo] [TVR Val oY og S90] aod 4 [0] [0] = run at the position. Also looking to fill the posi- tion are first-time candidates Ken Carruthers, Allan (Hank) Bertrand, Fred Canning, and Andy Andrews. Marilyn Pearce, who has served as the Ward 2 councillor for one term, hopes to retain her seat. She faces first-time candidate Paul C. Michel. Ward 3 councillor, Al Gore- ski, is also retiring from local politics. Jim Tower, Mr. Gore- ski's challenger in the close- fought 1988 election, will face first-time candidates Marilyn Tripp, Ken Gadsden, and John Abbott. Glenn Malcolm's decision to run for the mayor's seat has left Ward 4 vacant. One of the con- tenders in the race is former Ward 4 councillor Neil McLaughlin who held the posi- tion during two previous terms. Mr. McLaughlin lost in his bid for the regional councillor seat in the 1988 election. He faces David Dietlein, Chuck Hill, and Cliff Davis -- all first-time candidates. Only three candidates had the luxury over the Thanksgiv- ing weekend of hanging up their sneakers.

"The link building is a real cost savings," Mrs. Drew said, adding that if the education centre and the high school were built separately, they would both need the services supplied by the common link building. The boardroom in the educa- tion centre is an example of how functional the facility is, the lo- cal trustee said. The room can be sectioned off into three meet- ing rooms therefore creating a use for it "every day of the week" and not just during full board meetings.
