Mr. Ebedes noted that the school's intensive training program and small classes are two of the chief reasdns why students choose The Toronto School of Business. Another feature of the program is a two week training training workshop on effective job search skills.

A panel was set up last week to address the concerns concerns of Courtice residents whose wells had high levels of contamination. Although the panel couldn't tell the people what the exact cause of the contamination contamination was, they did offer some precise figures for the different solutions. Seen here are Walter Evans, by Rob Savage Angry Courtice residents had harsh words for Durham Region staff members members last Wednesday night after learning their wells were contaminated. "I pay $1400 a year in taxes to sit here and have you tell me you can't do anything anything about it," said Morris Lenihan, a Courtice resident. resident. "I would like to know what we can do to use the water for anything," added fellow resident Andy Jarvis. Jarvis. Their resentment followed followed investigations in the Nash Road and Darlington Blvd. area which found high levels of coliform and fecal bacteria in about 30 wells. Three of those wells had coliform readings called "overgross" because they were higher than the meters meters could measure. In response to the problem, problem, two proposals were offered offered by Councillor Ann Cowman and the regional, officials during last week's meeting at Courtice Secondary Secondary School. The first method would be to dig new wells. The second second method would be to install install new watermains, sanitary sanitary sewers, or both. Councillor Cowman told . the residents that she'd prefer prefer to see municipal water systems installed before Nash Road is completed. But her preferred proposal proposal was costly. Those who lived on Nash Road would have to pay all costs to have any water systems installed. installed. The people on Darlington Blvd. fared slightly better. On Varcoe's Road, which is north of Nash Road, a sanitary sanitary sewer and a water main are already scheduled to be constructed and residents would only have to pay connection connection charges. Those living south of Nash Road on Darlington Blvd. are scheduled to have a sanitary sewer installed but no watermain unless residents residents voted for one. For people with no planned planned systems who face the highest costs, three charges exist for either a watermain or a sanitary sewer. For a sanitary sewer, there's a frontage charge of $35.20 per foot if paid in one sum or $4.96 per foot annually if paid over a period of 15 years. That charge is followed by a connection charge of $1,965 and a user charge based on water consumption. consumption. Costs for a watermain are similar. The average price for a sewer system only or a water system only would be around $4,000. On Darlington Blvd., anyone anyone choosing to hook up to systems already being built only pays the connection and user charges. But many residents resented resented having to pay any- the design manager for the Regional Works Dept.; Councillor Ann Cowman; Jim Baker, the Manager of Administration for the Regional Works Dept.; and Harold Robinson, the Chief Inspector of the Health Dept, under the Region of Durham. thing. Some were very skeptical skeptical of the claims that the recent storms had caused contamination to spread from their septic tanks to their wells. They preferred to think the " contamination came from recent housing developments developments in the area. Harold Robinson, the Chief Inspector of the Health Department for Region Region of Durham, continued to tell the crowd that the contamination contamination found in their wells couldn't have come from road or housing construction. construction. Unfortunately, he had to admit that he also couldn't be sure the contamination came from septic tanks because because there's no affordable way to investigate it. "All we can tell you is that there's bacteria in there," he said. "Most dug wells are prone to bacterial contamination contamination at some time of the year." Mr. Robinson added that he doesn't think the wells in that region are the only ones contaminated. He said he's worried that people in other regions aren't checking their water for contamination levels and said his department doesn't have enough staff to do it for them. In fact, many people in the Courtice region didn't know their water was contaminated contaminated until Georgie Kingsley of 1410 Nash Rd. became ill. When Mrs. Kingsley learned she had been drinking contaminated water, she then went door- to-door asking neighbors to check their water. About 30 wells were found to be contaminated. Mrs. Kingsley phoned Councillor Cowman with that news and last week's meeting at the school was organized. The selection of that building seemed ironic to one student who said the school itself uses bottled water contamination was discovered last year. A four- day walkout by students led to investigations of the water at that time. Now, it seems the problem problem has grown. Councillor Cowman told the 60 residents at the meeting meeting that they aren't obligated obligated to accept the proposals proposals made by regional staff. She said they could vote for or against any municipal water systems. This will be the second 1 time they've voted on the systems. Last year, they voted in favor of keeping their wells, but they didn't know of any possible contamination contamination at that time. They're now voting again and if a majority vote in favor of municipal water sources, all residents will have to pay the frontage charges to have the systems installed. That thought seemed to annoy some people. "This sounds like the nice, polite, letter from the mayor that said, 'If you don't want to hookup, to hell with you,"' resident Sheila El- kington said. But others were swayed when they learned that digging digging deeper wells doesn't guarantee the water will be good. Mr. Robinson told the residents residents that adding chlorine to their water or boiling it would only be a temporary solution for their present wells. He said the wells will probably be contaminated after every wet season. "Generally speaking, I don't think it's going to go away."
