OSHAWA - The Durham Board of Education is deciding deciding on a plan to relocate its headquarters from Oshawa to Whitby. The plan, which would cost $44 million in 20 years, would see a 150,000 square foot building, ready for occupancy by 1994, built on Taunton Taunton Road near Anderson St. If the new headquarters are approved, education taxes for those in the Durham Durham school board will go up by $17.

The maximum fine for a conviction conviction is $5,000. In recent months township officials have found large amounts of litter on isolated rural roads in Scugog.

The GO Train station could be "established" "established" in Bowmanville by next spring, provincial Minister of Transportation Transportation Bill Wrye said last week. The minister, however, on a visit to Bowmanville on August 22, wasn't prepared to make any specific announcements announcements relating to the train rolling rolling into the municipality. ^'We're making progress and moving things as quickly as we can," he told a group of reporters, advising them he was not going to make any specific GO train announcements. His reason for being in the area, he explained, was merely to provide support support for Marilyn Pearce, Liberal candidate candidate for Durham East. Mr. Wiye also wasn't prepared to speak with representatives from the Toronto-Peterborough/Havelock Line Passenger Association regarding a train line to Peterborough. "They've had a number of opportunities opportunities to speak to me"'Mr. Wrye explained, explained, adding that a full study is being being planned to examine the possibility of a train going to Peterborough. He said he was "extremely disappointed" disappointed" with the federal government for walking away from its responsibili ties concerning that line. Mr. Wrye said he thought it was important important to look at extending a train service into Peterborough and said he was excited about the GO train coming to Bowmanville. The minister, note; that the train will reach Oshawa by the fall. Paul Pagnuelo, president of thé passenger passenger association, said he wasn't surprised surprised by the Minister's remarks and said it was unacceptable to not have a decision made on the Peterborough line before the September election. The Bombardier Study and the Canadian Canadian Commuter Rail Study have both been carried out on the line, Mr. Pagnuelo said, adding that it was e waste of time to conduct an additional study. "Our association wants a decision by this government before September 6." "They are not going to leave us with visions of GO Trains dancing in our heads during the election campaign," he added. He said if a decision isn't made soon, "you and I will still be discussing this before the next provincial election." election."

Mrs. Pearce, who found out about the announcement Tuesday morning, added that "I'm really pleased with this announcement today ... There are other issues and other things but today I'm just happy with the fact that we have an upgraded transit system."
