ss T----- 4 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, February 27, 1990 Police arrest youth for arena break & entry Durham Region Police have charged one person and expect to lay more charges soon in connection with a break-in at the Scugog Arena last Thurs- day morning. Police said Monday, an acetylene torch was used to cut the hinges and door from a safe in the Arena Manager's office. A quantity of cigarettes and cash from the snack bar re- ceipts from the sold out Junior C hockey game Wednesday eve- ning, with a total value between $1500 and $2,000 were reported missing. Entry into the arena had Been gained by removing a pan- el in the overhead doors at the west side of the building. Police say the cutting torch used had been reported stolen earlier in the evening from a garage in Manchester. Some of the money and cig- arettes has been recovered by Police, along with the cutting torch. Following an investigation by Const. Paul Mooy, charges of break enter and theft were laid Sunday against Wade Jason Collins, 19 of Port Perry. He is also facing break and enter charges in connection with previous incidents at Port Perry Feeds Store and the Blackstock Community Centre. Staff Sgt. Bill Van Dole- weerd said Monday the investi- gation into the break-in at the Scugog Arena is continuing and police expect to lay more charg- Project 2000 (From page 3) sulted in personal injury. Of the fatalities, 28 percent of the drivers were impaired or re- ported to have been drinking. All of this amounts to an add- ed strain on provincial tax dol- lars -- a strain that in most cas- es could be prevented. Oneinevery three tax dollars in Ontario goes to health care, compared with one in every four dollars 10 years ago, Dr. Gold said. Because of this, mon- ey needed to repair roads and build schools is lost to the health care system. Even though these efforts are made by the provincial govern- ment, most Durham hospitals suffer frequent bed shortages. Dr. Gold said that in 1988, the average occupancy rate of the Oshawa General Hospital was 95 per cent. To add on top of all this, Dur- ham's aging population -- those over 85 years of age --isincreas- ing at a rate of 10 per cent a year. This group depends on the health care system tremen- dously. Education will be the main focus of Durham Project 2000. "We hope that the next dec- ade will represent a decade of increasing awareness of health for the residents of Durham Re- gion," Dr. Gold said. "Durham Project 2000 repre- sents a vision of a healthier to- morrow. We hope you will grasp our vision and work with us by fostering those attitudes, policies and ethics which will promote a healthier communi- ty. Only by the active participa- tion of many playersin our com- munity can we succeed." The goal of Durham Project 2000 is for all residents to reach their "optimal level of physical, mental, emotional and social development" suitable for their lifestyle, Dr. Gold said.
