PAGE 14, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1989 Temporary school FROM PAGE 1 Melissa will also go into Gr. 9. "I wasn't really in a panic," said Joanne. "I think they cane up with the best solution." "I knew they would have some- thing ready for us," said Melissa. "I'd rather go there than south Oshawa. We would have to share with another school." Joe Visconti, principal of Fr. Austin, is happy with the deci- Smon. "It is the best alternative. I had started looking for alterna- tives in June. I checked out a few locations. This -was by far the best." Visconti has sent a letter to parents informing them of the change, programing, busing and extracurricular activities. The building is being revam- ped to accommodate the stu- dents. After viewing the complex on Tuesday, Nicholas said, "M hus- band, daughter and mysef think the building is perfectly accep- table. It's a nice, quiet area in the back of the complex. Most of the traffic is in the front. The three of us have no qualms what- soever about their choice." No comments about condo There were no public com- ments received for a six-story condominium building applica- tion for the northeast corner of Dundas St. E. and Pine St., during a recent planning com- mittee meeting.

Whitby council recently appro- ved Marshall Macklin Monahan Ltd. as engineering consulting firm to undertake an environ- mental solutions study for Brook- lin, under the Ministry of Environment's direct grant pro- gram. The study objective is to deter- mine the nature and extent of sanitary sewage disposal pro- blems in Brooklin, possible solu- tions and a recommended solu- tion. Solutions to be examined will include various upgradings of in- dividual private sewage systems, and communal systems, such as a trunk sewer extension from Taunton Rd. The study will cost $108,000, of which 59 per cent is grant eli ble. U Borough Properties Ltd. will also contribute $46,927 towards the cost. North ward councillor Ross Batten explained that All Borough is an arm osf Sorbart Group which owns the bulk o, serviceable land in Brooklin. He said developers, as well as the Town, want to see services extended to Brooklin. Batten said the study will lead to the province becoming finan- cially involved in a recommended solution. "This will look at the least expensive way to fix the problem, Bell Canada last week announced that because of the negative results of the Brooklin survey, the toll-free access to Toronto will not be implemented. "Results indicate less than 50 per cent of subscribers want the toll-free access called extended area service (EAS) to Toronto," local section manager, Orma Lyttle said. Lyttle said the mail out survey done in May is the last step in addressing the criteria estab- lished by the CRTC on Sept. 29, 1988. That criteria requires that the septic tanks or sewers," said Batten. He expects the report to be back before council by October or November. Work, which will include a property-by-property survey in two exchanges are to be within 40 miles and that at least 60 per cent of Brooklin exchange subscribers must call to Toronto at least once a month and that a majority of Brooklin exchange subscribers must approve of the extension and rate increase throu2h a mail-out survey. Accurding to Lyttle, Brooklin meets the first two criteria but when polled, the Brooklin subscribers were not prepared to pay the higher monthly service fee in place of the long distance charges. the Brooklin study area, will start in mid-August and is expec- ted to last two months. Crew members will carry photo identification cards. A needs study had been con- ducted in Brooklin in 1986, the study including a survey of 329 sewage systems-and a detailed water quality study of' Lynde Creek. A repoit last year indicated the sewage prQblem in Brooklin, with bacterial contamination of Lynde Creek directly linked to stormwater discharge and mal- functioning private sewage sys- tems.
