There are a total of 22 positions in the Durham Board of Education and the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board that each pay more than $97,000 per year, with the top post of director of the public board (now held by Pauline Laing) worth a maximum of $123,935. Much has been made in the past few weeks about overpriced bureaucrats at the Metro education boards, where 113 directors and superintendents made annual salaries ranging from $93,000 to $164,000, costing taxpayers approxi - o, tr ` e - ,.,...fir d r Y'<:.. _ t I F+,ob by hm Lynch Learning safety Bill Coakley of Electricity Safety and Conservation, at right, visited local schools to show students the dangers of electricity and how to handle it safely.

And that announcement, prompted by a question from Ward 1 councillor Frank Schaper, started a storm of debate that ended with a notice of motion by Schaper demand- ing the region reduce the number of council- lors as well as terminate its severance package for councillors serving three or more years. The motion will be dealt with in two weeks' time. Parish said taxes will almost certainly go up as regional departments including works and police are asking for a significant increase in their budgets. He explained residents in municipalities hke Ajax and Pickering will absorb that hike, while those in Oshawa will likely not see the increase, because taxes are assessed on growth rates within those municipalities. Schaper warned with "the sunset" of the social contract in 1996, plus a significant decrease in provincial transfers municipalities are going to feeling the crunch as never before. "We're going to have to set an example," he said, adding a 1.3 per cent salary increase for councillors in 1992, 1993 and 1994 is not the way to do it.

The Ontario legislature is the only body with the power to amend the num- ber of regional councillors, under the Region of Durham Act and will only do so at the region's request. "That's ridiculous," McMaster fumed. "Regional council will never do it." Parish, who said his goal is a zero per cent increase, added the only way to ensure change is for resi- dents to get involved. "Only when the public gets fired up will there be any guarantee anything will be done," he said. "The only thing I can see happening is people get- ting upset and asking for change." "I'm not willing to let it go - I hope we get a politi- cal movement going because it's about time they moved into the 1990's," said McMaster. 'Heritage' Whitevale The hamlet of Whitevale has been declared a heritage community by the Ontario Municipal Board. The Town of Pickering and nearly three-quarters of the residents in the tiny community initiated the action about 18 months ago to get a heritage designation for Whitevale. Approximately 20 of the 75 families in the hamlet opted out, however, and their wishes were 0 also honored at the OMB hearing, which wrapped up yesterday. 'Everyone basically won,' said Ward 3 councillor Enrico Pistritto. Under the terms of a historical designation, future development in Whitevale will have to adhere to stringent building and environmental requirements that retains the 'character" of the community.

At the Catholic board, the numbers are about the same. Incoming director Grant Andrews will be paid from $111,203 to $121,437 per year. His eight superinten- dents will each make between $97,447 and $106,415 per year. As a form of comparison, the Chicago school board, with a student enrollment that dwarves Durham Region, is staffed by one director and six superinten- dents that cost taxpayers about $1.1 million. Directors and superinten- dents alone at the two Durham Region boards will cost local taxpayers nearly $2.3 million this year. There may be a light at the end of the bureaucratic tunnel, however. Education minister Dave Cooke announced Friday he will offer "incentives" to school boards to reduce administra- tion costs and put a cap on the amount of money boards can spend on administration. Cooke also plans to slash the number of school boards by at least 40 per cent, require boards to share ser- vices and report annual sav- ings to the public, cap trustee salaries at $20,000 per year and develop a for- mula for trustee representa- tion. "By cutting administration costs these initiatives will result in fewer, more efficient school boards that will more effectively serve the needs of Ontario's students," Cooke said in a press release. Cooke also established the Ontario School Board Reduction Task Force to oversee the school board restructuring. Long-term sav- ings can only be achieved, Cooke added, if school boards make "fundamental changes" in the way they do business. --------------------- 1J B , 105 *QY W 41 V Mid" 8 & TIS iOs Pickering rejects Metro's Brock West settlement offer from Page 1 cess and proceed to trial, if need be, in mid-May," said regional councillor Maurice Brenner Monday night. "The town has wanted. from the word go, the immediate closure of Brock West and compen- sation to the taxpayers." Pickering started legal action last October in Ontario Court. The court, on its own initiative. referred the action to Alternate Dispute Resolution on Feb. 15 and Metro and the province made their offer the fol- lowing day. Monday's announce- ment was Pickering's response to the offer, details of which cannot be revealed under a No Disclosure agreement. The ratification of Pickering c refusal u,as made public. however, under the terms of Bill 163, recent provin- cial legislation designed to make the affairs of munici- pal councils as open as possible. George Monteith, a rep- resentative with Metro's legal department, denied any knowledge of the offer made to Pickering. "1'm not prepared to discuss this litigation with you," he added. Brenner said the town claims the landfill site is overbuilt and should be closed immediately. Pickering is also demand- ing compensation from Metro, which operates the site, and the province, of several hundred thousand dollars. Pickering will be repre- sented in court by the firm Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt.

"I asked for the reforms to go way beyond what the Red Book called for. I wanted to see a pension that is reflective of the real world - this isn't," WTeague said "This system basically protects those who were elected before '93. It should reflect what's happening in the private sector but right now, it's two -and -a -half times richer.

The National Citizens Coalition (NCC) takes the issue one step farther, accusing Ottawa of "caving in to naked greed" over the pension reforms. McTeague has been championing the cause of Pension reforms since his ejection campaign in 1993 and introduced a private members bill after his election to end the practice of double dipping and raise the eligibility age. Under his proposal, pensions would only be available to members at age 60, and only after serving three consecutive terms with a minimum ten years service.

Bureaucratic fat cats Education Minister Dave Cooke is on the right track when he says his government is gang to tackle the bureaucratic excess that can be found in our provincial school boards. Both the public and separate school boards are paying exorbitant salaries to too many people at the top, which is causing the education ship to list dangerously to the port side. In most municipalities in Ontario, education accounts for the largest portion of the tax bill. In many cases, that money is being used to pay salaries in excess of $90,000. In Durham alone, taxpayers rill fork out $2.3 million to pay school directors and superintendents to oversee the growing bureaucracy of our tura school systems. Meanwhile, U.S. cities with bigger population bases get by with fewer staff. Surely, Canadian schools can deliver quality education without breaking the bureaucratic bank. School trustees must put their heads together and arrive at a solution for merging the separate and public school boards that would allow the two systems to remain distinct, yet affordable. The key to being distinct lies in programming and teaching, not in administering staff and buildings. it's time to merge as many functions of the public and separate school board as possible under one umbrella. Cooke's steps to offer incentives to boards to reduce administration costs and cap trustee salaries is a good start, but there's still a long way to go- IL1 Jim Lynch CRAFTY SALE: Ruby Fenton of Heritage Art works on a drawing at the Pickering Arts Council Arts and Crafts Sale at the Pickering Town Centre. —Letters Up-to-date information needed in Caffuther's decision To the editor.

Jennifer Harker, of M. M. Dillon and Associates, delivered a presentation to Ajax town council's Feb. 13 meeting that, while very Informative, .left unanswered many key FIM it must be rioted that the environmental study quoted by Ms. Harker was contracted by Runnymede and cannot be expected to draw conclusions that are exclusively in the interest of anyone other than Runnymede. Besides catering to the developer's agenda, this study is not current, being based on data at least four years old, making it unreliable both in terms of evaluating conditions and providing reliable inventory information. Some of Ms. Harker's conclusions must be questioned, particularly her contention that a buffer zone of 60-90 metres separating the development from the marsh is adequate to protect the marsh. The provincial Ministry of Natural Resources policy calls for a minimum natural buffer of 120 metres. Runnymede is conducting an admirable process in which all interested and affected parties can have input into the nature of this development. This "open door" method will afford our town council an impressive array of informational resources with which to work. Council must have full confidence that they are making these important and irreversible decisions based on complete and reliable information.

Why would someone steal a Canadian flag?" The flag, which was wired into a metal pole in front of the store, had been yanked from the pole, Fayer said.

Emergency plan in need of improvements While the recent mock nuclear disaster was a "productive" learning experience for local emergency services personnel, the simulation also re -affirmed fears the provincial emergency plan is not adequate to deal with a real emergency. Durham Regional Police Staff Superintendent John Kay, the exercise director, said the simulated disaster - a Level 3 Pickering Nuclear Generating Station "loss of coolant" accident - showed him there are inefficiencies, especially in communication, with the emergency plan. "We learned a lot but we recognized there are areas that need improvement," Kay said, citing inadequate phone lines and a temporary communications centre at the Whitby police station that was too small. "We need more automated phone lines to insure more rapid lines of DOORS AND WINDOWS FOR LESS FINANCF TER%C, AVAILABLE O A I. P -r installed, or do It yourself for extra PYTHON BUILDING SUPPLIES INC.

It was clearly demonstrated (the temporary site) was minimally effective." Regional Chairman Gary Herrema, speaking at a Thursday press conference, said the region will look into establishing a permanent communications centre in Durham. "We can't take this kind of chance in a real emergency," he said. Irene Kock, a member of Durham Nuclear Awareness, a local environmental watchdog granted observer status during the exercise, expressed "relief" that Herrema called for major improvements to the emergency plan. "Until now, local politicians have been sticking their heads in the sand. The complete failure of the emergency plan during the (heavy water spill) accident at Pickering last December gave politicians a reality check," she said. "There are two big challenges ahead; getting Ontario Hydro to pay for improved emergency plans and building public confidence. Better public access to the emergency planning process is urgently needed." The two-day exercise began Wednesday morning with a simulated level 2 accident at the nuclear station. The "accident" put the local provincial emergency plan *s Into effect, including the public alert system, traffic control plans and the evacuation plan. The situation was upgraded to a level 3 incident by the evening, with the evacuation plan activated shortly after 9 am Thursday. Hundreds of students from Holy Redeemer, Sir John A MacDonald, and Woodlands Centennial schools in Pickering and Notre Dame, St. Catherine of Sienna, Pickering Christian, Parkside and Exeter High from Ajax were evacuated within 20 minutes of the call. They were bused to reception areas in Oshawa, processed and then delivered back to school within a couple of hours. Kay emphasized the operation was a simulated exercise only, noting police would not wait until the following day to evacuate the students if it was a real emergency. Anti-fusion campaign starts Nuclear Awareness Project (NAP) has launched a national campaign against a Canadian bid for a $20 billion fusion reactor in Ontario, with the Darlington nuclear station as a possible site. The Oshawa -based nuclear watchdog wants Prime Minister Jean Chretien and Premier Bob Rae to drop plans - spearheaded, NAP says, by the Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project of Ontario Hydro - to bid on the International Thermonuclear Reactor, a joint European, Russian, Japanese and American project. The local organization, who believe Chretien will announce the bid at the G7 Summit in Halifax in June, called the proposal "high-tech nuclear extravagance with taxpayers' dollars."

Labatt Brier underway in Halifax by Jim Eason Special to The Bay News The 66th edition of the Canadian Men's Curling Championship got underway in Halifax March 4 and will end Sunday, March 12. Over 50,000 men started out last December in dub pfaydowns in every province, but only four will be left Sunday to hoist the Labatt Tankard in a victory celebration. The winners will represent Canada at the Ford World Championships in Brandon, Manitoba next month. Ontario is represented by the Ed Weenich rink from Toronto Avonlea, a two-time Brier champion. The team was entitled to faire a 5th man along with backup, and they have brought Richard Hart from the Tam Heather dub in West Hill. He is normally vice on the Mike Harris team that was runner-up in both the 1993 and 1994 Ontario Championship. At a media briefing, the sites under consideration for the 1997 Labatt Brier were discussed. Named were Sault John, Kitchener, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Calgary. Kamloops, B.C. is the site for the event next year. Locally, three double -team entries for Annandale Curffng Club played in the OCA Silver Tankard zone playdown at the club Feb. 26 and 27. Pairs of men's teems were also entered from Oshawa Go# and the Tam Heather club. The pairs of teams combine thea scores, and the winners stay alive while the teams with the lower score are eliminated. When the plagdown was completed, an Annandale double -team skipped by Warren Leslie and Jon Payne, was victorious. With Leslie are Harry Nope at vice, Marvin Harrison at record and Ken Bolsby plug lead. With Payne are Steve Ingham, Dave H tdnansw and Craig Reid respectively. If this double -team entry should win their way through the Silver Tankard Regional playdown at Weston Golf and Country Ckb on April 2, they will advance to the Ontario finals to be contested April 9 at the Whitby Curling Club. Strong local flavor at Winter Games A plethora of local athletes — 36 strong — are in Niagara Falls to see the sights and compete in the 1995 Ontario Winter Gaines. The competition will boast nearly 3,000 athletes competing in 23 sports, incudirg sports for adnleies INM disabWes. A total of 20 competitors, from 11 to 21, will represent Pickering, including four mem'aers of the Carter family in the shooting competition. Six Ajax tingehe players will be among a contingent of 16 participating in this year's gam.

The Lords played host to the OCAA champi- onships on the weekend and came away with their second consecutive bronze medal, thanks to an upset 75-64 win over Algonquin College Thunder. Humber College of Etobicoke won their record fifth straight provincial championship at the tournament, declawing the Sheridan Bruins 86-78 in the final. Durham's 11 -point vic- tory surprised some pun- dits because the Ottawa school had beaten Durham in both meetings this year. The Lords earned the victory in the second half after going into the dress- ing room down one. Cuban defector Augusto Duquesne, the league's leading scorer and a final four all-star, was Durham's spark once again in the bronze medal match, pumping in 30 points to lead all game scorers. Raefer Parray, with 14, Rick Jordan, with a dozen. and Adam Estabrooks, with 11, also scored in double figures for Durham while Bryan Ebume scored 23 to lead Algonquin. The win ended Durham's season, giving the Lords an impressive 24-9 record overall. The Lords were deprived of a chance to play in the final after being crushed by the Humber Hawks in the semi-final, 99-68, despite 40 points from Duquesne. Sheridan beat Algonquin 83-77 in the other semi-final. Joining Duquesne on the tournament all-star team were George Frempong and Wayne Mulgrave (Sheridan); Jason Daley (Humber); and Greg Shirley (Algonquin). Humber's Steve McGregor was named the tournament's most valuable player. Humber, who won three straight national champi- onships before being dethroned last year, now head to the CCAA National Championships this week in Halifax. The women's provincial championships were also played last weekend at Durham and London's Fanshawe College (17-1) came out on top, dump- ing Hamilton's Mohawk College 60-48 to eam a trip to Halifax for the nationals. Humber College cap- tured the bronze medal with an easy 74-50 deci- sion over Seneca College of North York. Durham's women's basketball team did not qualify for the provincial championship tournament..

They were so animated on the stage, and at ease. They showed their enthusiasm and their high level of energy." Krista Vander Neut, age 13, has been with the Young Singers of Ajax since the group started three seasons ago. She eventually wants to either be a professional musician or work in the theatre and felt this would be a great opportunity to start her career. She auditioned for the Joseph choir because as she says, 'Music is my fife." It certainly will be for the next few months. in mid-April, the choir will begin intense rehearsals of five to six hail -day sessions a week. The children will be missing some school but they will be gaining a unique opportunity to learn about staging a musical production from both behind the scenes and on stage.

Wed, Chevy's got it this year with the new Impala SS. Introduced last year in limited numbers, the Impala is a regular production option for the 1995 model year. This sporty looking Chevy goes as well as it looks. I am generally not a big fan of hAsizW cars, but I could sure learn to live with the Impala. Power for the SS comes in the form of the 260 hp 5.7 -litre (350 cv.in.) Corvette erxjne. A four -speed automatic transmission is the only unit available. Befitting of its name, the Impala comes with leather interior and bucket seats. Making the SS stand apart are 17 In. mag wheels, 4 -wheel disc brakes and heavy-duty sport suspension. Summing up the Impala, I would have to say that Chevy has really made a great attempt to put the fun back into drmng. As big as the SS might appear, it is a greaRwxling and nm -"e car to drive. GK. Up-market 1995 Passat worth a look by G" Konwow>sAi E. ` "" n an early introduction to the press, Volkswagen Canada `�` `'` has introduced the 1995 .:.:..:.:.::�;.>: Passat. All-new sheet metal graces the car, giving it a similar -but - new look. The new Passat will come in two body variations, a four -door sedan and four -door wagon. The model line-up will consist of the GLS and CLX. The GLS is a diesel powered car while the GLX is powered by Ws 2.8 -litre V6. The GLS diesel is turbo -charged, giving it 75 hp and 100 lbs. ft. of torque. This is the same diesel engine that powers the Jetta and past Passats. VW says a more powerful version is caning in the future. Giving the Passat its sports appeal is the 2.8 -litre V6 on the GLX. This innovative V6 produces 172 hp at 5800 rpm and 177 lbs. ft. of torque at 4200 rpm. This kind of power should give the GLX plenty of punch for all types of spirited driving. Transferring the power to the front wheels will be a standard 5 -speed manual transmission, standard on both models. A 4 -speed automatic will be an option only on the CLX. This year VW is moving the Passat up-market with lots of luxury appointments. These extras include power windows, heated headlight washers, heated side mirrors, premium stereo cassette, leather wrapped steering wheel, central locking and air conditioning, to name just a few. Safety is a big part of the Passaes features with dual air bags, anti-lock brakes and traction control on the GLX V6. One new welcome feature is the Passat's pollen filter. The people at VW claim the filter will catch up to 90 per cent of most air -born particles. Price, you ask? Well, the CLS diesel 4 -door sedan starts at $25,870. The CLX wagon, equipped with a 4 - speed automatic transmission, starts at $31,115. The only real options are the automatic, power glass sunroof and leather seats. So if European cars are your thing (like mine) the Passat is worth a look. 1995 Volkswagen Passat Front Dash with Air Baa and Knee Bar I.; . _ . .. ... :i: .4 •. � _mss r° AT SPRING CLEAR OUT PRICES Y.INTREPID BRAND NEW 1995 =CCL� HIGHLINE HIGHLINES _._a-- or , • 1Ea tiv',Z-CvVS • PCVER LOCKS • l•1�..,j • vA �?

U. v i. 1%.011111" l IJ& V Z AL W ZJ feature New products make car maintenance easy by Glen Konorowski If you do any type of work around a vehicle, working with wires can be troublesome and time consuming. A relatively new product that makes short work of electrical wiring jobs is the "Stripper" from Cliplight. The Stripper is a plier-like W that is designed to peel the plastic sheathing off wires. By virtue of its design, the Stripper also lets you cut or crimp terminals onto wire. I have seen tools like this in the past, and even -tied a few, but none of them ever really impressed me. The Strippers big test came while 1 was installing a sound system in my long-term Subaru Impreza. Since I had to give the Impreza back to Suban, ' 'iad to work with th, ext_ . .3 radio wiring to in -.:,. n. and disc. Th�- lot _ntailed cutting and stet, �lr ., the plastic ends of the Mites to fit into the connectors in the Imprezas sound systems wiring harness. If you have ever installed a complex sound system, you'll know that there are various sized wires- Add to this the complexity of using small bits of wire to make all the wvwctions mate up to the existing system and you have one heck of a job for an amateur. With gripping and cutting jaws, the Stripper grabs a covered wire, cuts through the covering, them PUNS the covering down and off the core of the wire. This is aN accomplished by pulling the Strippers handles together with very We effort. No matter what size the wile is, the effort purging the handles together is always the sante. The Stripper made short work of all the numerous shed wires while installing the sand system. From solid to stranded wires, the Stripper peeled off the wires plastic sheall ft with ease. The butt -in cutler in the centre of the Stripper made nice clean cuts through all the stranded and solid wire. Notches in the middle of the Strippers handles allow you to crimp terminals onto wires. To put it simply, I should have bought a Stripper long ago, as it certainly would have made my life much easier. At a retail price of around $24, the Stripper is worth buying. The Stripper can be found at auto parts suppliers. • • 1 When it canes time to clean your car s vinyl, rubber, glass and plastic there are about as many cleaners as there are types of cars. One area "I,: has been neglected is !iv cloth and carpeted areas k . our vehicles. Unlike your house, your vehicles seats and carpets generally onry need spot cleaning periodically. You really can't justify renting a steam cleaning unit for a few spots on the rug. The First Brands Company has recently released "Tuff Stuff" under the STP name in Canada. This is a multi purpose cleaner mainly devoted to the fabric, carpeting and (to a lesser extent) the vinyl in your car. M� first use of Tuff Stuff was during a panic attack when a car i was oad testing had to go mcK :c the manufacturer. The car was a new Q45 with a white interior. As I checked the car for items I may have left in it, I noticed some marks on the white carpeting and leather.

Tuff Stuff comes in either a spray can or a pump bottle To apply the Tuff Stuff you dust give it a good shake. spray it onto the carpet or upholstery. .vait for about 30 or 40 seconds and rub it out with a dry cloth In panic mode. I sprayed and rubbed and wondered if I would ever get another chance to drive the Q45. Happily, Tuff Stuff removed about 90 per cent of the stains on the carpeting with just a spray and wipe The next eight per cent came out oy rubbing it in with a brush and then wiping it with a dry cloth. As for the last two per cent, I faded them enough that it wasn't too noticeable. As for the leather. the Tuff Stuff cleaned it well ;with no effort. The only spots that TO Stuff didn't get out (on test carpeting) were ill and grease which I didn t expect It would. For these Ws 7f stars I usually use other cleaners. To double check the performance of Tuff Stuff, I tried it out on the big term Subaru Impreza $ince the intenor was a medium dark blue, the Tuff Stuff virtually eliminated all the stains. While cleaning. I accidentally over -sprayed onto my white ieather tennis shoe. Atter a good r,;o-dowr. ttR shoe looked almost new. Around ane house on carpeting and furniture, Tuff Stuff worked as well as it did in the car. • f • • This past year, Canadian Tire has introduced a new line of screw drivers called Doubie Grip.
