Girl survives hay mow fall It was a lucky Christmas for a 12 year old Blackstock girl, who survived a terrible fall with only a few bruises. Durham Regional Police say Christina Marrotte of Greensboro Drive, was playing with two girl- friends in a nearby barn owned by Richard Van Camp, late Tuesday afternoon December 20. At about 4:15 p.m., Christina plunged through the hay mow and onto the stable floor. Fircighters from Scugog Hall No. 2 (Caesarea) responded to the emergency, as well as police and an ambulance crew. When help arrived at the scene, the injured girl was attempting to walk away from the bam, with the help of her friends. Ambulance at- tendants, with the help of fire- fighters, carried her across a field on a back board to the waiting ambulance. Christina was rushed to Port Perry's Community Memorial Hospital where, police say, medi- cal staff determined her leg was badly bruised but not broken. A police spokesman said Chris- tina was fortunate she wasn't more severely injured. Teens sentenced Two Bowmanville area teen- agers who caused about $50,000 damage to late model cars at a "demolition derby" at Mosport last March have been handed terms -in reformatory. | Kyle Allin, 18 of RR 3, New- castle will spend 11 months in jail for his part in the spree, while Jeff Kane, also 18 of Newcastle got an eight month sentence.

A third teen-ager involved in the incident, James McFarland, also 18 was put on probation for 18 months by Judge Peter Parker. Water and sewer rates in Dur- ham Region will be going up 7.1 per cent on January 1. That increase will add about average residence in the Region which uses 60,000 gallons of wa- ter each year. As expected, the Regional council put its stamp of approval on the new rates at the final meet- ing of 1988 on December 21. For billing purposes, Durham Region combines the water and | sewer charges into one bill. The 7.1 per cent overall in- crease represents a 10.5 per cent hike in the sewer rate and a 3 per cent addition for water charges. $4.80 to the quarterly bill for the Denture Therapy Clinic to long jail terms The six cars, all late sport models were owned by GM and were to be part of an advanced driving class the next day at Mos- port track. The trio admitted breaking into the park, hot wiring the vehi- cles and then playing "derby" by driving into each other, into a wall and into the side of a restau- rant at the track. The trio was convicted for other thefts not related to the Mosport incident and Allin had "been involved in two high speed chases with police in Bowman- ville. Region hikes water rates The Region will spend $24 4 million in 1989 operating water systems and a further $34.7 for sewage plants. The 7.1 per cent hike is the largest in five years, but custom- ers in Durham can look forward to rate increases between five and ten per cent over the next five years, according to a report prepared by the Region's works department. The Region is predicting that industrial water use will stay al- most stable in 1989, but residen- tial use will increase by nearly six per cent keeping pace with the strong growth trends in several ar- eas of Durham. 1330 Ritson Rd.

The announcement was made recently by the Honourable John McDermid, Minister of State (Housing), and Ontario Housing Minister Chaviva Hosek. The 40-unit development is be- ing sponsored by Oshawa YWCA. "This project results from the federal-provincial social housing agreement which allows us to meet housing needs in the most efficient and effective way possi- ble," said Mr. McDermid. "I am very pleased that we are able to assist battered women in Oshawa,'"' he added. Ms. Hosek said: '"The 40 units in Oshawa are among the almost 7,000 non-profit units we are com- mitting across Ontario in 1988. Projects like these are an integral part of our efforts to assure affor- dable housing for the people of Ontario - a significant addition to the more than 13,500 units we committed since 1986." The $4 million capital cost of the development is being met with a 35-year mortgage loan from Canada Life Mortgage Services. The loan is insured under the Na- tional Housing Act by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. } The total annual operating sub- sidy for the 40-unit project is estimated at more than $633,000. It is expected that 32 of the units will be allocated to needy HOSPITAL.
