Lillian Frances Massey, daughter of Hart Massey, the improving in-ground services, Little explainod. The~y would rather, opt for virgin areas that have been opened up ta developmnent, ho said. "If Whitby doesn't have any, they'1l go ta Oshawa. If Oshawa' doesn't have any, they'll go ta Ajax"',aga Little. "Ail municipalities are conmptingta put in new developnient and are ignoring their exmdsting areas," ho ad-ded. Sharinp many of Little's concerns is north ward councillor Don Mitchell, Who warned council last year of tho threat poed by the Brock-Taunton proposi And, like Little Mitchell alsa faults Durham i6egon for its development policies. 'Whitby can't isolate itself when everybodr else will allow it (developmeBnt),' ho said. The problem of decaying downtown areas ie a regional concerfi that should ho addrese~d by Durham Region, Mitchell maintains. Fromc a taurism point, the firet thing y ou see -is tii. downtown. That defînes a muriicipa]ity," ho said. "I agrle with ahnost overything ho (Little) says," Mitchell continued. 'When you get ta the bottam lino, downtown preservation is not addressed in the Region's officiai plan and tts disappointing." Councillor Ross Batton disagrees with Little that council bas not done enough to ensure preservation of the downtown. Batten referred ta Whitby's downtown secondary plan which sets guidelines for Igrowth, but stressed that council can only do so much. SCIENCE MATITMR: FUN WITH INSECTS PRESENTrAT[ON Somewhere in our youth moet of us lost our appreciation for inseets. This is unfortunate, because insects play a crucial role in nature as pollinators, natural composters and , early bites' in the food chain. According ta entomologist Nadino Clarke, who offers a science insect progranis at schools and libranies, the earth holds approximato two million spocies, of which one and a half mllion are of ;e insect world. Last October, students at Fairport Beach Public School in Pickering had the opportunity ta learn firat hand the importance of insects ta aur environment through observation, interaction and discussion when thoy invited Clarke and ber classroomn presentation entitled 'Fun With Insects.' Designed for levels JK ta Grade 8, this one-hour, in-class programn offered an opportunity ta understand and gain respect for the fragile nature of aur onvironinent. Included with the presentation were microscopes, magnifiera, books, posters and fireld guides as well as the opportunity ta handle several different insecte. "I'm always thrilled ta see id, who nover thought that they could handle insects, ho so excited when they actually hold them," stated Clarke. If eou are a science teacher who would like ta offer your schoo ',s students the opportunty of examining a walking stick inseet in their hand or pettrng a giant cockroach, bookings can ho made by contactinq Clarke at (416) 783-5397. 'Fun With Insects has been presented in more than 15U) schools across Ontario and is available Monday ta Friday. Workshops for teachers conférences and outdoor education facilities may alsohbook;ýed.

Batten areed with Little that there is a 'doficiency of services"l in downtawn Whitby, but said the cost of . improving the infrastructure should not be paid by taxpayers. It bas ta be borne by dovelopers that's fot a change frmîý hr else," ho said. "If it s put in vigin land, tho dolpr bearste coet. Ta won't chage." Batten said downtown Whitby has the capacity ta, accommodate growth, but as for in-ground service, iher Durhami Region nor the Ton "has tho dollars ta invest in infrastructure." As for Brock-Taunton, Batten said dosignating that area for future commercial development was don. for two roasons. First, the 400,000 square feet fgure was arnived at by reducing the roposal for the Roeslandf-Garden area originall7r contained in Durhamn Region s officiai plan, Batten said. 'We wanted to bring that down a littie bit ta ensure downtown Whidtby is the main focal point,"- ho said. "Second, it will servie a population of around 40-ta-50,000 pepé that will be in that area in a 20- to 30-year period." Centre ward. councillor John Doîstra also bas roservations about future development bypassing the downtawn. Dolstra said council must strive ta find a, "happy medium" that will allow growth at Brock-Taunton and elsewhere, whule roecting the downtown. "Until I get the answers that I want, j won't be bûWng into it," ho said.
