Digging arena at Green and Ontario Sts. was included removal of the pipes used for ripped up to prepare for construction ice-making in the former arena. Free Press photo Building begins on centre Sod turning ceremonies took place recently for a new professional centre at the corner of Ontario and Green Streets in downtown Whitby. The 20,000-sq. ft. centre will house seven professional condominium units, three of which will be occupied by Mary Ann Goldhawk, of Goldhawk Chiroprac- tic Clinic. Whitby Professional Court, as the cen- il S. Bray R. Collins Regional Weed Inspectors for the Town of Whitby tre is named, was designed by architect Lennis Trotter and will be built by con- tractor Steve Wagner, owner of First Wagner Management. Negotiations are still taking place with the Town of Whitby regarding the number of parking spaces required, but Goldhawk anticipates the project should be completed and ready for occupancy by this fall. Higher driver education fees Students who plan to take courses under the driver education program this fall will be digging deeper into their pockets following a Ministry of Education decision to increase the cost of the in-car in- struction from $137 to $190. But the young people taking the course will be getting their money's worth. Driver education students will receive 30 hours of in-car in- struction, including 10 hours behind the wheel. This is up from the 24 hours in-car and eight hours of ac- tual driving. The classroom section of the course remains at 26 hours. Durham Board of Education, which approved the increase set forth by the ministry, also adopted a new hourly rate for in-car instruc- tors of $19.25. In presenting the motion, Whitby trustee Ian Brown, chairman of the finance committee, said the cost of the board's driving course is still much more economical than those which are operated privately run- ning around $300. Some 1,300 students throughout Durham took the driver education program last year. Graduates of a government-approved driver education course, such as the one offered through the Durham Board of Education, receive certificates of completion which can be used t, significantly lower insurance premiums for the young drivers.
