The maverick Oshawa councillor managed to get a motion on the floor which called for fines to be levied against councillors of $100 if they miss a council meeting; $50 for missing a committee meeting; and $25 if they are late for a meeting or leave before adjournment. However, members of council quickly<let Kolodzie know what they thought of the idea. And Oshawa coun- cillor Allan Dewar led the attack stating "this motion makes council look like children.....that we don't know what we are doing as a council." - He went on to say that council meetings are only a small part of the overall work a member does as an elected representative. "Some members can attend all the meetings and still do a lousy job as coun- cillors," he said. "It should be up to the electorate to. decide if a councillor is doing his job or not," he concluded. But the most stinging criti- cism came from Uxbridge Gary Herrema who called it a degrading motion, and referred to it "like a child who -got caught playing Crisis centre joins coalition The Scugog and District Sexual Abuse (Rape) Crisis Centre has been accepted as the 15th member of the Ontario Coalition of Crisis Centres. That decision was made at a series of meetings held late last month and attended by Jeanette Ross of Port Perry who is co-ordinator of the Scugog Centre. Volunteers with the local centre had been hoping that the organization would be accepted as part of the Ontario Coalition, but did not expect this would happen as soon as it did. The Scugog Centre has only been officially open for a little over a month, and maintains a small office in the Masonic Lodge on Queen Street. By joining the Coalition, the Scugog Centre will now have access to informational materials, and can have direct communications with other centres in the province on topics of mutual concern, such as sources of funding. Finding enough money to remain in operation has been a problem faced by many Crisis Centres in the pro- vince. £e ATR DN SU RE ORAS RE SR LS A LCC RTA Lh 7 En reba TAT Feat rh hata aa ul SR JE EH FA TEE 08 AVC ERG MA EAR Sd INO VIA Wad ey RE GE Ee SE iN AAR EBs Sidi Se v BALL EEUY I XA AA : HERIOT EER ST AA BRIAR 'hookey, and now wants to snitch on the rest of the kids." That remark was a refer: ence to the fact that council lor Kolodzie recently was absent from a council and committee meeting because he was giving a lecture at a community college in Toron- to on business management, and received a fee for doing SO. After weathering the attacks from his fellow councillors, Kolodzie then stood up and told the council that he wasn't really in favour of his own motion, but he simply wanted the issues to come under debate. When the recorded vote on the motion was taken, Kolod- zie voted against his motion, as did all the other council- lors in the Chambers at the time. Chairman Walter Beach had the last word on the affair as he looked at his watch and exclaimed aloud "that this has been a waste of 30 minutes of the council's time." eh TRL A oY Gloria Forder, give concert the Straw) for the benefit of his colleague in the balcony?
