You answered our call, and we thank :you for -it... • Opinions are like noses or, if you prefer, bellybuttons: Everybody has • one. And, when we opened the doo • inviting our readers to send in a sam- ple column for our new weekly Opin- ion Shapers feature, it seemed like almost everybody, and we do mean • everybody, submitted an entry. • After going through more than submissions for Opinion Shapers, w ended up picking a lucky 13 reader to write four columns apiece at three - +month intervals to fill that prized jtpace. It was very difficult to make the 'facts needed to get down to 13 writ- %ers. Many of the submissions were ex- cellent, a lot were very good, some were OK; very few were poor. All provided some insight into the r writer and a window on our reader- ship. All of you who took the time to write and rewrite your pieces, who decided you wanted to put your name and face to a dozen precious inches 40 which will be read by thousands of e people every three months, those of s you who laid it on the line. thanks. It's not easy. The best columns showed some elements of grace and style which are not easily defined in a few words. They stayed on topic, usually re- vealed something about the writer and held the readers' attention from first word to last. The writers who were best able to blend that oh -so - elusive combination of style and sub- stance made the grade. In order of when their columns will appear in our pages this coming year, our 1998 Opinion Shapers are: Donald Young. 48, of Ajax, a busi- ness consultant with an interest in so- cial justice; Gloria Papastavros, 41, of Pickering who is a visual artist; Mike Archer, 51, of Pickering who is a systems analyst; and Judith Goulin, :Week five of RIDE: 16 more charged Sixteen motorists were charged • with alcohol-related offences during week five of the Durham Regional • Police holiday season RIDE pro- gram.

In addition to the seven charges, police handed out 12 -hour licence suspensions to Il drivers who registered a "warn" RIDE officers last week also laid charges for breach of recognizance and driving while disqualified. Shapers 51, of Ajax, who is a librarian. These four will lead off with our January columns. February will see the following four columnists make an appearance: Gillian Victor, 32, a legal assistant who lives in Ajax; Anne Polonen, 37, of Pickering, who is a homemaker; John Haste, 50, an Ajax resident who works as a communications man4g- er; and Beryl Cameron, 60, a school principal. In March and April, the last five Opinion Shapers will produce their first columns of 1998: Firefighter Geoff Nicholson. 42, of Pickering; Leslie Gossen. 44, of Ajax, who is a store manager and homemaker: Mar- garet Gerroir, 32. of Pickering: Brian Quinn, 63, a retired Ajax resident; and Ruth Hendricks, 43, of Picker- ing, who says she's an insurance bro- ker by day. We could say we weren't sur- prised to receive such a large re- sponse to our invitation, but that would be dishonest. That was more than anybody in the editorial depart- ment expected. And to be sure, we're delighted and honoured we have such a passionate, involved readership. We're the lucky ones and we want that to continue. To all those who didn't make the cut, our advice is simple: keep on writing and sharpen up your column ideas for next year when we'll pick a new team of 13 Opinion Shapers. -Am. i _ ,�-'-�^�'�.r�.• r .n �..�r�ti-• ♦ ..- _..ww�y+�J.1-r rMr,tiM1•��.w�Y►r��+.ir....M.M'AI�"'N'.W�'�f '��'1 R • iilza HUI Aoft AY Awft • 1midil Aldi Ndft '7= It W ADVUTl ME111iftiMfl.a6CGti m n. 1(07 • !Ase 3 No x Trustees' have''larger are'to 1610' 'F.FS/From page I Yet Brock trustee Bill Fairburn. 3 He also adds prove dley're informed ofthe changes taking who's chairmanlsochairmanof the Local Educa- funding will "largely res "to place within the education system.

Ward I local Councillor Dave Ryan suggested sending a resolution to Queen's Park was not going to be enough to persuade the provincial government to change its mind about dumping social services costs on a regressive tax base such as the prop- erty tax. "You don't deal with a scb000lyard bully by sending nice letters:' he gated. Mayor Arthurs said in a later in- terview he is still prepared to bold burden back some of the education taxes local municipalities must now col- lect for Queen's Park, in order to make provincial downloading rev- enue -neutral. According to the mayor. that is one of the strategies being consid- ered jointly by Greater Toronto Area mayors and chairmen. "Accepting the current arrange- ment is not an option:' he noted. Overall, the Province is picking up up $2.5 billion in education costs across Ontario, while passing on $3 billion in costs to municipalities. Queen's Park is also setting aside about $570 million to help munici- palities overburdened by the cost swaps.

That advisory council recommended, among other things, that the Province continue to set so- cial housing standards and municipalities pay for the programme. Social housing providers would continue to manage their properties. '"the provincial role in the reformed social housing system would be greatly reduced," the advisory council noted in a report. "lite major players would be the municipalities, as the major funder and administrator of the programme, and the providers" "By the end of '98, the reforms will take place," Mrs. McCord says. "For those Regions that are ready, (the Province) will look to de- volve to them. Durham Region is anxious be- cause they want 'say for pay'" The Durham Region Housing Authority man- ages almost 1,300 units for the Ontario Housing Corporation, which is being dissolved and its units will eventually be run by the Region. Mrs. McCord is also a member of the Social Housing Advisory Committee of Durham, an ad hot: group made up of representatives from the different social housing sectors. In the past when social housing was built, "a group came together, incorporated and applied for funding. It was a lengthy process, with a needs analysis on who you were targetting" Mrs. McCord says. It took about 18 months between the time a group was established until construction scatted, she notes. "Tire Region will have to decide how to man- age. It will be a fairly difficult decision for the Region to decide how to manage. We are the old- est social housing provider in Durham Region and the largest.

She expects in the first year Durham will simply want to "look at the costs. They probably won't build any units during the first year" Region Chairman Roger Anderson, mean- while, says, much work must be done to case the transition between current and future social housing responsibilities. He says a governance model must he devel- oped on how the units will be administered. Until then. he notes. "u, say exactly where we are is going to be hard... As for building marc ..ti,.if h ,u. _' M- \r ..;means. change for Durham the system- The government has adopted die me- otnrrtendatiars in principle and has thrix groups working out the final details. That advisory council recommended, among other things, that the Province continue to set so- cial housing standards and municipalities pay for the programme. Social housing providers would continue to manage their properties. '"the provincial role in the reformed social housing system would be greatly reduced," the advisory council noted in a report. "lite major players would be the municipalities, as the major funder and administrator of the programme, and the providers" "By the end of '98, the reforms will take place," Mrs. McCord says. "For those Regions that are ready, (the Province) will look to de- volve to them. Durham Region is anxious be- cause they want 'say for pay'" The Durham Region Housing Authority man- ages almost 1,300 units for the Ontario Housing Corporation, which is being dissolved and its units will eventually be run by the Region. Mrs. McCord is also a member of the Social Housing Advisory Committee of Durham, an ad hot: group made up of representatives from the different social housing sectors. In the past when social housing was built, "a group came together, incorporated and applied for funding. It was a lengthy process, with a needs analysis on who you were targetting" Mrs. McCord says. It took about 18 months between the time a group was established until construction scatted, she notes. "Tire Region will have to decide how to man- age. It will be a fairly difficult decision for the Region to decide how to manage. We are the old- est social housing provider in Durham Region and the largest. We also have the oldest build- ings" The state of those buildings is a concern to Mr. Anderson. "rho problem is we don't know the status and the condition of each home. Until we get the sta- tus, we don't know if the numbers are accurate:' he says. It's -a very. very real possibility" the Region will have to spend money to fix those buildings.
