arks hospital war in Whitby
General has been in ques-
tion since the former NDP
government recommended
the facility be closed
because it could not justify
the $17 million -plus annual
operating cost. The propos-
al failed because of commu-
nity pressure and the board
then decided to follow the
recommendation made in
the Durham Region District
Health Council's acute care
study to convert the hospital
into a rehabilitation centre.
Flaherty says he knew
two years ago the board's
decision to pursue the rehab
idea was "foolhardy"

because it would "create a
dead-end street" for the hos-
pital.
"This facility was certain-
ly capable of being saved a
year and a half, two years
ago by joining Oshawa
General and forming the
nucleus of the regional hos-
pital structure - which is
where we are going," he
says. "Anyone with their
eyes open knows that."
But hospital board chair
Catherine Tunney disagrees
with Flaherty, saying that a
rehabilitation centre is
"what the region needs.
"It's in the best interest of
the public to start looking at
things regionally," she says.
"We can't keep blinders on
by looking at these imagi-
nary lines between Whitby
and Ajax, Pickering and
Oshawa. The problem is
people have a hard time
dealing with change."
Flaherty says he is doing
what is best for the region
and the community by sup-
porting Whitby General as
an acute care facility with
24 hour emergency service.
The problem, as he sees it,
is "that a certain clique on
the board" is unwilling to
accept that hospitals can no
longer support so many
administralive employees
and still provide quality
medical care.
"I'm afraid the board is
mistaking bricks and mortar
for health care." he says.
"The purpose of keeping the
building open is to serve the
people of the community. If
the building is not going to
serve these needs then does
it matter if the doors are
kept open just perform any
function."
Whitby councillor Dennis
Fox, who says the board has
been pulled 'back and forth
like a yo-yo" by successive
governments, claims the
board had no choice but to
accept the recommenda-
tions of the acute care study.
"This situation is not the
invention of the Whitby
General board," he says.
"They had to eventually
come to realize that if the
hospital was to remain open
in some fort they had to do
what the government of the
day told them to do and that
was to change their focus.

Region Pickering councillors,
during debate on the Official
Plan Monday night, all agreed

cultural yet voted to delete the

Although Fox says he
"can't speak for the board"
he is certain they would
approve a plan to keep the
facility as a community
hospital as long as it
received full funding from
the province.
But regional councillor
Gerry Emit, who sits on the
hospital board, says that
won't happen. Emm, who
claims other board mem-
bers asked hint to resign
"for not going along with
their way of thinking," says
the board "took it upon
themselves" to pursue the-
rehabilitation
herehabilitation path without
"reading what the majority
of residents of Whitby
wanted."
Emm believes the deci-
sion to convert to a rehabil-
itation centre was made
three or four years ago,
based on comments from
the health ministry.
Jane Stewart, a
spokesman with the provin-
cial government's Hospital

re in peril
agricultural designation and
incorporate the lands in the
Seaton study.
Planning director Neil
Carroll argued the study would
give the town an "up-to-date"
review of the lands and, if the
area is eventually resumed to
an agricultural designation,
put Pickering in a "stronger
position" at the Ontario
Municipal Board should a
developer challenge the zon-
ing.
The issue was triggered by
the provincial government's
recent decision to sell off the
lands. which councillor Sherry
Serbs believes will lead to
"rampant speculation."
Regional councillor
Maurice Brenner voted no to
including the agricultural
lands in the Seaton study area,
saying the lands should remain
agricultural forever. "I don't
tweed a study to tell me that."
PACT chairman Dave
Steck left the chambers after
the vote, saying tape council
decision was a "step back-
wards" in good Ping prac-
tices.

Municipal courthouse plan loses appeal in Pickering
by Glenn Hendry
An attempt to lobby the
provincial government for
Provincial Court facilities in
the Pickering Corporate
Centre was defeated at
Monday night's council meet-
ing, with one dissenter calling
the motion "grandstanding."
Councillor Sherry Senis
wanted staff to prepare a cost
analysis of the economic ben-
efits of locating court facili-
ties in the office building,
which will lose its primary
tenant - Clearnet - later this
year.
The trigger for the motion,
says Senis, was the govern-
ment's announcement that
municipalities will receive
greater responsibilities for
"ticketable" offenses, includ-
ing enforcement, administra-
tion and processing.
"They want to give us more
responsibilities, but we can't
just use the provincial courts.
We'd have to take the next
step." Senis explains. "If
they're going to do it, why not
in Pickering'? It's an ideal
location."
Regional councillor
Maurice Brenner supported
his colleague, noting that it
makes "logical sense" to
locate future court facilities in
Pickering. While the
Pickering plan is not in direct
competition with the City of D
Oshawa'-, proposal to build a ti
$70 million Provincial Court
facility (the proposal was
approved by the former NDP b
government but has been p

money by locating court
rooms in existing buildings. "

Schoolbus
system broken?
Many of us can remember in our youth
herring slightly exaggerated tales of earli-
er generations of students trudging miles
to get to school. These stories entailed
long walks through apparent waist -deep
snorer and assorted natural elements to
reach the schoolhouse. Then the students
would have to help clear the snow and
light the wood stove to take the chill off
the single room class to commence the
day's teaching of the three R's.
The baby boom generation cannot recall
the snow being as deep or the lighting of
the stove but they certainly can remember
walking or cycling great distances to
school as buses were, in essence, only for
out-of-towners.
In the 1990s the entire issue got out of
hand and, in fact, students could get free
bus rides for even laughably shoe dis-
tances. In the 1990s this practice was cut
back by some miraculous formula that
determined whether there would be bus-
ing or not as the school boards tried to cut
their outlay of expenses.
Today, it is unbelievable to hear the
continual whining about cutbacks in
funding from the Durham Board of
Education and yet see first hand the
wastage of twL dollars in transporting stu-
dents.
A couple of students were standing on
my street, waiting for the school bus,
when 1 stopped to chat. 1 thought they had
missed the bus as it had gone past about
five minutes earlier. No, they informed
me, that was the bus for the other school
board.
Unbelievable!
Here are two almost empty school buses
travelling the same street and route. What
is the reasoning behind segregating our
children on separate buses? There is no
reason that 1 can think of why the Roman
Catholic students cannot ride on the same
bus as the other students, and vice versa.
Whether we eventually do away with
multiple school boards - in favor of one
single taxpayer -supported education sys-
tem - is not yet the issue. Steely the
school boards owe it to each of us to make
a single, more efficient transportation sys-
tem work.

Dear Editor:
The Brock West Landfill Site stopped receiving garbage
last fall except for the garbage being transferred from the
Brock North Landfill Site. The transfer is expected to be
finished this spring.
PACT endorsed the idea of cleaning up the Brock North
Landfill Site. PACT did not endorse the moving of that site to
Brock West Landfill Site for technical, environmental and
moral reasons. PACT had, and still has. concerns with the
rationale of the method to move Brock North Landfill to the
Brock West Landfill; however, the move is being made
regardless of our documented concerns.
The intent from the conceptual stages of Brock West
Landfill was to tram the land over to the METRO Region
Conservation Authority for recreational purposes when the
landfill closed The Brock West L =Cdl Site has closed and

McTeague welcomes
Durham Sun
Dear Editor:
Please allow me to extend congratulations to you and the
staff of The Durham Sun Weekly on the occasion of your new
look and expanded publication. With the recent demise of the
Whitby Free Press and before that, the Oshawa Times. I com-
mend you for your decision to broaden your horizons at a time
when the newspaper industry, for the most part, is retrenching.
The public is better served when there is competition in the
marketplace and this is particularly so when it applies to the
media. The fewer the sources of unbiased information and fac-
tual comment, the poorer off we are as a society.
Again, my best wishes to The Durham San Weekly for
many successful years ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Dan McTeagne, MP

Dfte4 Da�A
Investing in RSPs
by Invest in a
Registered Savings
Plan?
I purposely left out the word
RETIREMENT in the heading
because RRSPs can be used for
much more than retirement. Here
are five good reasons to invest.
There are more.
I. Reduce current income tax.
The RRSP is one of the few
invesunenLs that provide you with a
full deduction from your gross
income, and ,you still have control
of the money. It is the ONLY
deduction that you can claim after
the December 31, 1996 year-end.
You still have to Much 1, 1997 to
make a contribution that can reduce
your 19% income tax bill.
2 Provide for tax-sheltered
growth. The RRSP should be
treated like a magical two-wav
mirror. You see everything that
goes on and arc in complete
j control, but the government only
secs' wbal you contribute and what
you withdraw. When you
contribute, they give you tax
breaks, when you withdraw, they
tax you on whatever comes out.
Here's the beauty - you can make
that RRSP grow as BIG as you can,
and you don't pay one pennv of lax
on it. In fact, you coned when and
how much you take out until age
69, when the RRIF rules kick in
and force you to take a minimum
annual withdraw. Wouldn't it be
great b own an invesumenl for 20
Of 30 vcars without paying lues on
it? This dramatically increases the
speed at which compounding
occurs.
3. Split income. In certain
situations a Spousal RRSP can be a
very effective way of reducine
taxes now, as well as in The future.
The idea is for The higher income
spouse to make the contribution
and get The tax deductions, but
register it in the name of the spouse
that will have the lower income
when you want to take it out. (Re
sure you understand bow it work.,
as it is not suitable for everyone).
4. Buy your first home. Under
the current Home buyer's Plan,
qualified individuals may withdraw
up to $20,000 6om their RRSP to
purchase their first home. No taxes
are payable as long as you atwk by
Ibe 15 year repayment schcdulc tltc
government sets up. Again, this
may not be applicable or suitable to
you.
5. Take a year off. Some client,
have used the RRSP to build up
funds for other than retirement.
Two exampl" are; a mother I(x)k
an unpaid leave for a year to be at
butir with ber newborn, they used
some of her RRSP to help out with
Tine expense and paid virtually no
tax on the withdrawl. ANother
client went back to school for a
year. She used RRSP to help fund
the costs without Ong Into debt.
Because she had tuition and other
expenses, and very little income,
she paid a small amount of tax on
her withdrawl.
With downsizing and cutbacks
being so comnLon today, it only
makes sense to give yourself sorry
flexibility by contributing io an
RRSP today. Call your financial
planner today.

Swimmer ","Locks" up
another Provincial crown
Durham Aquatic Club's Millie
Lockett has wrapped up his
fourth provincial title.
Swimming at the Senior
Provincial Championships at
Etobicoke Olympium, Lockett
was able to secure another 200
metre Provincial backstroke
title when he touched the wall
first in a time of 2:09.06.
Competing in the 16 and under
division, Lockett also placed
third in the 200m individual
medley, fourth in the 100m
backstroke and twelfth in the
I 00 butterfly. W also compet-
ed in the 50m freestyle and fin-
ished with a time of 26.3 sec-
onds.
But his first place finish in
the 200m backstroke is his
bread-and-butter stroke and
coach Tom McLoughlin is
.thrilled with his young star.
'This is an outstanding
achievement for Mike,* says
McLoughlin. 'To place first at
the Provincials is a great accom-
plishment. To do it in four sepa-
rate age groups is amazing.'
Richard Duhaney, 17, also
swam at the meet and recorded
times of 1:09.82 in the 100m
breaststroke and 25.7 in the 50m
breaststroke. Courtney
Mitchell, 18, swam the 100m
backstroke in a time of 1:09.8,
the 200m backstroke in 2:29.3,
and the 200m butterfly in 2:39.5
seconds.
