Seven councigors of 10 who are eligible have already gone to the trough to collect more than $60,000, inck drug Susan Dulny of Ajax and Kip Stan Kempen of Pickering. The councilors, who both lost their election fights, each collected $5,460 for their one term in office while others collected nearly $11,000 for their council service. Durham council approved severance packages for councillors in April , 1993. The vote was not recorded but Dupuy said she was "99 per cent sure" she supported the packages. "I don't have a problem with it. In light of the commitment and the responsibility, I can support it - it takes up much of your time," DOW said, pointing out that other businesses routinely offer severance payments to outgoing personnel- "Why are we any different than anyone else?" Dukny said the heat education trustees have been taking in Metro over more than $200,000 in severance payments to losing councillors doesn't apply here because unlike trustee positions, regional councillor jobs are not part-time positions.

A progress report will be available next month and Sillaots promised to provide a report to council by Feb. 6. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs isn't convinced the residents will be happy with the final solution but admitted hiring an engineer will be a step in the right direction.

The college's president was at regional council last week with a final progress report on Durham University Centre, a program with links to local business and industry — as well as three universities — that will allow Durham students to start and finish a degree program in Oshawa. The plan is part of the school's grand scheme to get Durham a university, although Polonsky admitted that may take up to 20 years. The university centre proposal, however, will happen next year 9 it receives provincial government approval in April. "This is not pie in the sky stuff. The time has come," Polonsky said, adding the university centre could be the "biggest development in Durham Region" since General Motors. "This is a great place to live and work but it could get greater. The number one gap between what we have � vz o�p�;vE and what we need is a university. Wye► should have had one years ago.' The concept of a university centre would link the college with Trent and York universities and Ryerson Polywhnical Institute to offer degree programs (including unique courses like automotive production and modern labor relations) to local students. The program would be teacher and technology-based, serve the region's high skill economy and link general knowledge and the workplace workplace. The Durham president said the concept is innovative and affordable, with a start-up price tag of $2 million to $3 million, instead of hundreds of millions of dollars to get a full university off the ground. Polonsky said the region, with a population of 400,000, deserves a university, especially with communities like Thunder Bay, Ont., Brandon, Man. and Sackville, NB — 'who don't hold a candle to Durham" — hosting "Universities enrich the life of 0 the community and 9 you don't have it you're really behind the eight -ball," he said. "Why shouldn't we have a university?" Polonsky wants the region to endorse the concept (it was passed unanimously) and talk "passionately and incessantly" to the education ministry to approve the deal in April. He cautioned, however, that the deal is not signed yet and pegged the odds of acceptance at between 50/50 and 60/40. "This is not a lock yet. This is still a big dream," he said. "But we have a fighting chance. If we don't get it now then the momentum we've carried will be lost and we'll have to scan all over again." The college has already received a $120,000 grant to develop the concept model for the university centre, which is expected to be finished by March. There are currently 2,400 university students on campus under a linking arrangement but those students have to attend part-time and on weekends in order to complete their degree.

Following the recent municipal election,. regional taxpayers could be on the hook for up to $77,000 in severance pay What a deal: run for office, get beat and get paid. Don't we all wish money came that easy. This isn't to demean what councillors do. They work hard for their money, and there may be some merit in paying severance to a councillor who has sat for more than one term and lost the election. They could very well be left high and dry in terms of income. (That begs the question whether they're eligible for unemployment insurance, which is another article.) But to pay severance to councillors who have chosen not to run again is ludicrous. It's a golden handshake that is unbecoming of public office. There was a time in this country when politicians served for the good of the office. They didn't expect severance pay, nor did they receive it. Those people survived. .-Over the years, though, the perks of office have grown, probably proportional to bull deficits. -Jt's time those in government I ealized we face some serious :monetary restraints. While :1$77,000 won't break the bank, =it's symptomatic of the bigger problems >#hat ;.:.plague :government spending at all -:levels - . -It's time politicians revisit this issue and do it quickly, while there's no election on the 1horieon. Surely, one should not die entitled to severance when they decline to put their name forward as a candidate. Stop the insanity now.

Struggling over a box of donuts are, from left, PC Terry Ryan, Inspector John Hamilton and PC Guy Paparella. Co-op job opens eyes On Jan. 9, 1 finally understood what people were trying to say when they warned that time goes by very quickly. 1 am a co-op student at The Bay News and one of the advantages of this job is that journalists see more of the world than most people. Recently, I accompanied the paper's photographer to the Metro East Trade Centre. What i saw was thousands of desperate people lining up in the freezing cold, waiting to apply fora job at General Motors. Very few of those people will get hired, but many of them were there the night before to be the first to apply. Also, I must admit I was shooed by so many people yelling at each other. Shouts of "Don't butt m" and "Get to the back of the line" were constant as some people tried to jump ahead of those who had waited. On Monday alone, at least 15,000 people stood in i line, just to get inside the building to complete a job application. I am 17 years old. Six of those 17 years 1 have been living in beautiful Canada. My family left Poland for the promise of greater opportunities and a brighter future. However, after living here for a while, we realize that no matter where you live nothing ever comes easily. Looking at the line it clicked in my head: will I find a job after 1 graduate from college or university? Many of those people were graduates with majors in many areas, yet they were not fortunate enough to get a job. Did my parents do the right thing by traveling from one end of the world to another so I could have a better future and a better life? What if 1, along with others, will have difficulty finding a job? Even worse, what if I never find a job? This is when I realized how fast time goes by and how little of it is left to determine how 1 will make a living. One very important thing is still flashing in my mind: what does it say about our economy when people stand in line for days to apply for a Job? Students must ask themselves: is it worth spending their time and money to train for jobs that may never be there? Despite what I saw on that cold gray Monday, I have decided not to give up on my future. I believe there is hope for everyone.

You can usually set up similar plans to have automatic deposits made into a deposit account, RRSP or mutual fund. Since you never see this money and can't spend it, you learn to live without it while the investment grows for your future use. Good money management means cutting back on the self- love exercise of shopping, keeping close track of more, as it ever was. For someone in a 40 -per- cent tax bracket, $5,000 invested at 10 per cent interest outside an RRSP will earn $21,500 in 25 years after the 40 per cent tax hit on your return has been factored in. The same $5,000 invested inside an RRSP at 10 per cent will yield a compounded $54,200 return because any tax hit is deferred to your lower- income (and therefore lower tax) retirement years. It's also a smart move to make larger -than -required mortgage payments. Money -management author Brice Cohen used what he calls his muffin -a -day mortgage plan. Cohen set aside the $1 cost of a muffin every day. By applying the extra $30 per month to his $100,000 mortgage at 8 per cent, he reduced his 25 -year amortization period by two and a half years and saved almost $13,000 in interest. As Cohen observed, proper money management can make people of relatively modest incomes appear to be better off than higher -income big - spenders who lose control of their finances to numerous f h"ous purchases. Inflation and shrinking spending power must be factored in when planning for retirement. Pay down mortgage Make your maximum RRSP contribution and use the refund to pay down your mortgage. • Save for retirement. • Earn tax-sheltered income. • Reduce current income tax • Reduce your mortgage ingest and amortization. The fad that you can now carry fawand your unused RRSP deduction room to later years may make it more appeafin9 to nse, d.wun ihn nv,rfnww First But unless your income improves dramatically, it will be tough to make a bigger contribution later and you will have sacrificed years of tax-free compounding in your RRSP. Younger people in a low tax bracket are often better to save for a down payment on a house. But if your marginal tax rate is 54 per cent, yam tax saving is 54 cents for every dols put in an RRSP. Contribute to an RRSP and put the tax refund kmord the dam naurnent Building a stock portfolio never easy Building an investment portfolio is an intimidating prospect for someone who's never had more than a savings account. There are so many places to invest your money it's hard to know where to start. The novice investor is confronted with a be wildering array of investments with names like deposit certificate, common stock, retractable preferred share, long-term bond, mutual fund, limited partner -ship, life annuity, treasury bill and commodity -futures contract. Then there are the acronyms: GIC, RRSP, RRIF, LIF, LIRA, RESP, CML, and CCA. The investment world is a scary place. But it doesn't have to be. The key is to try to ignore the fancy jargon and instead learn the basic categories of investment assets and the various ways to invest in each of them. At the same time you must investigate the various places to buy and sell investments, such as banks, trust companies, credit unions, stockbrokers, investment dealers, financial planners and investment counselors. It's also worth understanding one of the most basic of investment premises: the riskier an investment, generally the more money you stand to make but also to lose.

The amendment to zoning by-law 35-77 will allow developers to build one model home for every 10 new homes in the subdivision before the builder submits the final registration of the draft plan. "I think the by-law is positive in terms of the consumer, regional councillor Steve Parish, representing Wards 3 and 4, told the standing committee of the whole Monday night.

"The more choice and variety the consumer has, the better." Planning director Peter Tollefsen told the standing committee builders have been frustrated by the fact that no matter how large the subdivision may be, the old by-law allowed for only one model home. 'The town has received a number of requests from builders ... so they can begin to market their homes earlier," he said. The by-law allows one model for every 10 homes planned up to a maximum of 10 models in any one subdivision or phase of a subdivision. The builders are required to enter into a model home agreement with the town that includes such provisions as ensuring there is both access and water availability in case of fire; obtaining architectural contol approval; submitting siting and grading plans for each lot and the filing of a letter of credit with the town which remains in effect until the final subdivision agreement has been executed. In the course of reviewing the builders' request, staff found that Whitby, Oshawa, Cobourg and Vaughn all have a by-law in place that allows the construction of more than one model home prior to the registration of the draft plan of subdivision.

Security guard Don Osborne said he questioned Ward after the man barged through the municipal building doors. Osborne, a senior, said Ward then spouted profanities and tried to hit hum. Ward continued to curse in the chambers during an address by members of the Social Development Council — in the presence of a troop of boy scouts — and had to be cautioned by Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, an auxiliary police officer and a member of town staff before police were called. rhe Boy News o January25, 1995 11 *FREE Installation eFREE Balancing *FREE Tire Disposal *FREE Alignment Check J Brigadier 560 XT All Season 1 155x80R13 $42.00 205x75815 $67.00 175x80R13 $58.00 215x75R15 $70.00 185x80813 $60.00 225x75815 $74.00 185x75R14 $63.00 235x75815 $77.00 195x75R14 $65.00 215x70815 $75.00 205x75R14 $67.00 205x70814 $69.00 V 18500111114 195x70R14 185x601414 $65.00 $66.00 $70.00 195x60R14 215x60814 215x651415 $73.00 $76.00 $85.00 Used Tires $20.00 a up installed a balanced Dealer for.

Pickering Traditional Irish warmth and music at the Kerry Inn by Wendy Ashton Shimkofsky Johnny Johnston opens this weekend for a two-week engagement (Jan. 26, 27, 28 and Feb. 2. 3, 4) at The Kerry Inn in Ajax. The Belfast native, known for his versatility, gives his audience everything they could possibly want from traditional Irish tunes to Broadway numbers to ballads to good old rock and roll. And it's all presented with a generous dose of humour. The veteran entertainer has been appearing on stage since he was nine years old. In the late 50s. Johnston concentrated on rock and roll with his band Johnnie Johnston and the Midniters Johnston's talents continued to develop and, by the early 60s, he was the resident performer,/producer and master of ceremonies at the Club Orchid in Belfast. His success continued with television performances and a tour of Ireland with Engelbert Humperdinck. In 1970, he brought his music across the ocean to Canada. He toured with Johnny Johnston and the Shamrocks and recorded four albums. in 1974, Johnston decided to stop touring and concentrate on longer runs, which he has done with great success. He has an aWn called "Remember Me." Johnston is looking forward to his return to The Kerry Inn as `an opportunity to renew old acquaintances." The pub has a friendly, family atmosphere which can be traced to Victor, Colin and Bill McCullough, brothers who own the inn. Regulars, and there are a lot of them, are greeted by name and strangers are welcomed as new friends. The live entertainment on the weekends usually features a mix of classic rock and traditional Irish folk songs. Its exactly what the 'over -30' crowd wants to hear. The show starts at 9 p.m. and the dancing follows shortly after. It's difficult to resist the lively beat of favourite songs. The kitchen closes 15 minutes before the entertainers go on stage, so drop in early for dinner. The menu has a wide variety at reasonable prices including a prime rib special and 'The Platter'. an assortment of finger foods large enough to share. Of course, the traditional pub selections are featured as well. Watch for these performers next month: Memphis Committee on Feb. 9, 10, 11 and Feb. 16, 17, 18; and The Par 3, an Irish show band, scheduled for Feb. 23, 24, 25.

On Jan. 31 they vA perform on the stage at the Portages Theatre In the semifinal auditions for Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Drevmcoat.

Choruses from Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pkkratg, the Young Singers of Ajax and West Lynde Public School will also sing at the se:rifinal. Making ft to the sends was quite an achievement. But the work is far from oyer Under the direction of teachers Hilde Winter and Elizabeth Martin, the Duffins; Bay Choir has been practising three times a week since October 1994 and on a daily basis since Jan. 9. In addition to fine *xi ng their voices, they are trying lo add visual interest to their performance with straw hats and choreography. They have already perfected their two audition songs, "When I'm Sixty -Four" and "Castle on A Cloud." The West LW& Public School choir had participated in other competitions but as music teacher Janice Chaabane says, "We were looking for other challenges; to have something to work toward. It has been rewarding in the falx than rye worked with these children over marry, many fears. I coudd have easily made another choir of twenty-three, we have so many yt Tracy McMurray, recreation programmer with the Town of Ajax, says the Young Singers of Ajax formed a choir under the direction of Aetna -Lynn Murphy, speaffcafy for the Thud Toronto DreffaCOM Choral Challenge. "k was something the children and their pannus wanted to do. The kids have put their hearts and their souls into it and the parents have as well. It has become a family affair with parents taking time off work to go to the semifinals. No matter what, Jan. 31 will be a VA day for the kids." From past experience, they know the competition will be stiff. In 1992, the Duffin's Bay chorus was one of 10 choirs selected for the semifinals. Only four were ffiinya�lllychosen yto perform in the stage /yycoon. When asked why they took on this huge job, Winter says, 'it seemed like a good flea and we were overwhelmed by the nSrePD L9e " They certainly were. The fast time around in 1992, they had the monumental task of picking 23 students from the 350 who auditioned for the chorus. They learned from that experience. This time they didn't publicize the auditions as much, but they still had to turn away 77 hopefuls. Success on Jan. 31 will mean four performances a week, one matinee and three evening shows, from mid-May until the end of August. Two choirs, a total of 46 children, sing in each show.

She is working with a young group; all but one of the dnldren are under 13 years old In 1992, Taylor led a successful choir that went on to perform in the stage production. Naturally, hopes are high this year and the children feel very positive.

Durham Separate Schools get face lift by Heather Smith The Durham Separate School Board has announced $2.1 million in school renovations that has created jobs for local residents. A total of $2,149,557 and 10 projects have been approved by the government under the Infrastructure Works program, which will create approximately 30 full-time jobs for the region. Pickering Separate School Board trustee, Fran Pereira thinks the renovations are "money well spent" and `the jobs are a bonus." 'It important to have suitable school conditions so the children are learning to their full potential,' she said. 'These are jobs that need to be done," Pereira said. 'They're not being done just to spend the money." Approximately $997,000 will be spent to upgrade the boiler, heating and ventilation systems In I I schools. In Ajax and Pickering, the upgrades will be taking place in five schools: St. Bernadette, St. James, Our Lady of the Bay, St. Isaac Jogues and St. Mary. This renovation is scheduled to be completed at the end of the summer. A total of $555,000 has been spent on roof replacements and restorations at 10 schools. Since the project has already been completed, St. Francis de Sales in Ajax and SL Isaac Jogues in Pickering now have new or improved rooftops. Another $127,000 was spent on altering classrooms at Holy Redeemer in Pickering and at St. Paul in Whitby to provide both schools with new technical studies laboratories for Gades 7 and 8. Last, $29,000 has been Kinsmen break ground The Kinsmen Club of Ajax and the Town of Ajax broke ground recently on the service club's Largest project in its 48 - year history — the conversion . of a 138 -year-old Ajax house Into a clubhouse, corms city ceruhe and banquet hal. 1% gow phm on� the Frost Farmhouse at Rossland Road and Church Strleet lo period style and add a 2,100 sq.

In Ajax and Pickering, they were installed at St. Bernadette, St. James, St. Anthony Daniel, St. Isaac Jogues, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, St. Mary and St. Monica.
