2- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 10, 1995 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Board sets $11,000 limit for S in trustee homes comput By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star Durham Region's public school board has set an $11,000 ceiling for the installation of computers, fax machines and modems in trustees' homes. Trustees without computers will be supplied second-hand machines and new modems so that they can communicate via the board's electronic mail (E- Mail) system, according to a report to the board by Superintendent of Education and Business Brian Cain. Trustees will also be supplied with fax machines if they haven't already got them, the report recommends. It was to be reviewed by the board last night. Mr. Cain's report says that the communication devices will save trustees time and cut down on their mileage costs, as they will be able to carry out tasks such as the review and approval of meeting minutes without making trips to the board office. It calls for trustees without home computers to be supplied machines that are declared obsolete by the board because of insufficient memory; costs will be incurred in 8 lying the trustees modems ($100 each) and fax machine (esti- mated at $685 each). ' Total cost of the equipment would come to $11,775, says the report, but Scugog trustee Bobbie Drew says not all trustees will need the equip- Good news for people in the Port Perry area. | Oxymed has expanded to include a new location in the Medical Clinic at 462 Paxton Street, across from the Hospital.

She added that the comput- ers to be supplied are obsolete, and all equipment will belong to the board. "These are computers with not as much memory" as new machines being used in board offices and classrooms, said Mrs. Drew. "(Equipment) is board- owned, and at the end of the term or when they (trustees) retire, it will be taken back," she added. Costs for hooking the trustees up to the board's E- Mail and fax system can be cov- ered with funds from the 1994 budget, Mr. Cain said in his report. Vandalism From Page 1 been blocked. They say the will- ful damage is a harsh blow to volunteers who are trying to contribute to the community. "It takes away from what we can give back to the communi- ty," said Mr. Tapper, explaining that the damage eats into prof- its the Kinsmen will reap from the Ice Palace. The non-profit group is committed to direct all its earnings to community work. Mr. Foggetti said the club was planning Monday to replace the damaged sections of fence, and hopes that vandalism won't occur again. "We're trying to do something for the community," he said. "We're not taking away the whole lake." "All we're asking for is a little cooperation," added Mr. Tapper.

Scugog trustee Bobbie Drew made a motion at committee in favor of the expenditure, and was backed by all trustees present. The board was to vote on the committee recommen- dation Monday night. Mrs. Drew said membership in the OPSBA is valuable to the school board; the association is a powerful lobbying body, and provides area boards the means to work together for common causes. She noted that it was OPSBA's lobbying of the federal and provincial governments that allowed Ontario school boards access to Canada Works infrastructure grants; Ontario's boards are the only ones in the country to share in the program, which provides two-thirds funding for major capital expenditures. The Durham board was approved for $5.8 mil- lion worth of work under the program. OPSBA also carries out in-depth research of legislation affecting school boards and passes the information along to members, Mrs. Drew noted. "I think virtually all public boards of education belong to this," she said. Brian Cain, board superintendent of education and business, noted that the $78,168 membership fee is 3.3 per centless in 1995 than last year. ---- Receives $1,300 fine Local hunter charged in MNR decoy sting A Port Perry man was one of three hunters in the area who have been recently convicted of illegal hunting after charges were laid by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The hunters were nabbed after taking shots of deer decoys erected in the Oshawa area by the MNR, according to a news release sent out by the ministry last week. The 37-year-old Port man was fined $1,300 and had his hunting rights suspended for two years after an appearance before a Justice of the Peace in Whitby in December, the min- istry reported. He and another man, a 50-year-old South Porcupine residents, also for- feited their firearms to the Crown. In separate incidents Nov. 12both of the men stopped and shot from the roadway at a deer decoy in an area closed to deer hunting, the ministry alleged. A third hunter was fined $750 for stalking the decoy on private property and hunting deer during the closed season, the ministry reported. Wildlife decoys have been used extensively by the ministry in Ontario for three years. their primary purpose is to serve as an effective deterrent tool to control illegal hunting. The decoys have a variety of motorized body functions, such as moving ears and tails. They are controlled by conservation officers using remote control to simulate an animal's move- ments, said the ministry. In southern Ontario the decoys are used in and around private property where conser- vation officers know of or sus- pect illegal poaching. . 3 x 43 te EO 4 Taylor and Diane Redman. ~ SCOTT Jacqueline Jane Scott and Derrick Scot Taylor were united in marriage on Saturday, November 5th, 1994 at the Port Perry United Church.
