The 1990 capital forecast, 36.4 per cent over the 1989 forecast, allows for 400 new portables at a cost of $34,500 each, 10 new projects (a combination of new schools and upgrading of existing schools) each in 1990 and 1991, eight new projects in 1992, seven new projects in 1993, and eight new projects in 1994. Required funding over the five- year period is: $83.9-million for 1991, $77.3-million for 1992, $54- million for 1993, $53.9-million for 1994 and $54.3-million for 1985. "This is not a wish list," says vice chairman Ian Brown. « It is projected on a must-have basis.", Brown says that plans to im- plement junior kindergarten over the next three years are included in the forecast, but hot included is $50-million needed for school projects in the future Seaton community. Half of the 200 portables needed in 1990 would go to accommodating the student population that would result - from the implementation of junior kindergartens; the other half are needed to accommodate the growth rate. They are expec- ted to house 7,000 of the board's 54,000 students. The ministry is now funding only 10 per cent of portable costs. Over the next five years, $65- million has been allotted for site acquisitions. "In 1990 mwe are Iookng at six sites, about 42 acres costing $12.5-Million," says Brown. "1%e amount of. capital we need over the next few years is mind-boggling," says Oshawa trustee Cathy O'Flynn.. "Do we have a hop?' "The staf say yes," says Pick- ering trstee Louise Farr, whose conmittee prepared the forecast. "But we will be in a position of bridge financing and that cost will go to the taxpayer." Farr says that the forecast has not been padded. "We have not in the p ast and will not in the future. I f you wish to continue to maintain credibilit with the ministry you can't do that. They would be able to punch holes in the forecast. We're asking for al Of it.py He s a miionacure JODRB1R Jandu of Whitby, an unemployed plum-. ber, won $2,609,233 in the Nov. 4 Lotto 6/49.

Ontario Lottery Corporation photo Servicing study 18 ULmder scrutiny By Trudie Zavadovics Durham's 1989/90 residential servicing and financing study for water supply, sanitary sewerage and roads is under scrutiny and attack by regional councillors. 've gone over the report in detail and arn having a lot of iproblems with the process," said Marie Hubbard, mayor of New- castle. "I a ro-ëveopmeit.I will supr e lot levies but I won't support the rest of the' report. I don't agree with some of the assessments here. I want to see a balanced region; development in Bowmanville and south Courtice. The issue of the GTA ii signifi- cant. We've been had. I don't think aIl the parts of the puzzle are flitting together properly. I'm not satisfied with the text of the report. I want to talk about management and co-ordination. It's not. fair for the tri-committee to struggle with ail these- balîs. We were elected to do public business. I have a lot of concern with -the direction of Durham. The future of the region of Dur- ham is aý tough one. I've resear- ched the subject and am wor- ried."1 . Councillors supported the lot levies, and many shared Hub- bard's concerns. "The lot levies are putting the onus where it. belongs," says Whitb councillor Marcel Brunelle. "What's going to mat- ter is the money. W're going to have to start using constraint and make tough decisions. What's goingto be important to the, Town of Whitby is our offlicial plan. There is no sense in our official plan where there is no servicing. We will be severely hampered and impacted by no services availabie.» You are cordially invited ta -aur "GI-iR ISTMAS HOUSE"9 on Sunday, November i 9th from il a.m. ta 3 p.m. 8% OFF - aur extensive gift selection Refreshments wviII be served white you shop or browse at yaur leisure.
