WEDNESDAY,JUNE 25, i986WHITBY FREE PRESS "Whats the fuss?"- CLOCA Chief officers of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority are asking themselves why all the fuss is being made about a meeting they held with a com- pany whir.h wants to rent CLOCA lands to build a golf-course near Durham Regional Rd. 23. "I don't know what all the excitement is about," said ad- ministrator Bill Cam- pbell. CLOCA officials held a meeting six weeks ago with Lynde Shores Golf Club Ltd. about the possibility of renting the land and building a $3 million' golf-course on the land, said CLOCA chairman Joe Drumm. "We didn't initiate the meeting we just listened," said the chairman. Drumm said CLOCA is always being ap- proached about the 3,000 acres of )and in the southern part of Durham Region but this is the first time someone- has approached CL)CA. with the idea of building a golf-course. However the meeting "was not terribly im- pressive," said Drumm. While Campbell didn't express his impressions of how the meeting went he did question whether the idea was "going anywhere. "Most of the board members aren't aware of the idea and until something meaningful happens the idea won't go to the board."

Since Millet Salter, architect for the Pringle Creek school, is one of the few firms using full computer design, the drawings can be done back to front, or a mirror image can be pro'duced. The board has in- dicated there may be further savings when both schools are ten- dered together.

Grade eight students Stacey Scanga and Chris Harper were chairperson and valedictorian respectively at the school's graduation ceremonies last week. Free Press Staff Photo 0 0 Prmcipa When the 401 students from Meadowcrest Public School open their report cards they will each find a personal handwritten note from their principal. "It took me one and a half mon- ths to do, and I've got writer's cramp, but it was a special little thing I wanted to do for my kids," says Joy Bain, who this year is retiring after 34 years as an educator. "It was time for me to retire ... I've enjoyed it but there are so many other things I'd like to do," says the 55-year-old-Bain, the 1985 recipient of Durham's Educator of the Year award. One of those things is making use of her expertise to work as a private consultant, supplying boards of education with assistan- ce in program development and curriculum management. She also plans to spend time with her husband Mal on Orchid Haven, an orchid-raising business they share, and she looks forward to travelling in the off season. "I think I've got a couple of kids' books in my head too." She laughs and adds, "If I pursued every in- terest I have, I'd be going 27 hours a day." Bain got into teaching originally because at age 16, when she graduated from the old Whitby High School, she was too young to go to university or to train as a nurse, so it was Toronto Normal School, as teachers' college was then called, for her. After graduating with a Carter Scholarship she went to her first teaching position, a grade four-five class at Niagara-On-The-Lake, followed in 1953 by St. Andrew's Senior Public School in Ajax where she taught core English and Math plus all the music. When she returned'to Whitby in 1959 to teach at her old high school which had become Colborne Senior Public School, "all the ghosts of my old teachers were there," she says. "The day they knocked that school down, I stood on the corner and tears rolled down my face." In 1964 she became music con- sultant for Whitby, then in 1969 began a two-year stint as vice principal at Meadowerest and then at R.A. Sennett. From there she became principal in 1973 at what is now Florence M. Heard Public School, before returning to Meadowerest in 1981. Commenting on the fact that there was then only one other woman principal with the Durham Board of Education, she said, "It was natural for me to be principal ...I see myself as an educator, not separate as a woman as opposed to SEE PG. 11 ma DR.

Sexual assault charges A Whitby man has been charged with six counts of sexual assault following a three year investigation by Durham Regional Police. The man was arrested after police connected him with a series of rapes which took place between 1984 and 1986 in Pickering and Whitby. Charged with six counts of sexual assault, one count of robbery and assault and bodily harm is David William Shortreed, 33, of 59 Calais St., Whitby. According to Sgt.
