He thanked Council for their generous support.
Eric Jelinski, 2 Waverley Road, Bowmanville, L 1 C 1 K7, appeared
before Council regarding Report CLD-47-02. Mr. Jelinski advised
Council that the dog biting incident is bothering to him. He stated
that his gate is always double latched to deter but not prevent
someone from coming into their back yard. The evening the
incident took place their gate was double latched before the
Jelinski's went out. Possibly a malicious individual was trying to get
into their yard to either steal tools or, as he referred to a newspaper
article, hurt his dog. Another neighbourhood dog has been
reported to the town that is similar looking to the Jelinski's dog and
that dog is sometimes at large. He noted that he would be
interested in knowing the status of that dog, The dog that was
reported to police weighed 60 Ib to 70 lb. Mr. Jelinski's dog weighs
55 Ibs. The mother of the daughter who was bitten came to the
house and claimed that she saw shadows through the windows.
Again, this could have been someone trying to stake out the house
to steal items.

The Medical Officer of Health came to their property and found that
the dog came from and returned to his property; perhaps this other
dog was on his property. Neighbours have stated that it was not
the Jelinski's dog that bit the girl. Mr. Jelinski advised that their dog
needs to be coaxed out of its yard. Mr. Jelinski presented
additional letters of support from neighbours. Since this incident
occurred they have pad locked their gate and a motion light has
been installed.

Office of the Premier, advising Council that the Premier took action
to lower hydro bills for consumers and businesses across the
province. His plan would, if passed by the Legislature, lower and
freeze the price consumers pay for power and retroactively refund

plan would be in place at least until 2006 and would remain until
there is a sufficient electricity supply, at reasonable prices, to meet
Ontario's long-term needs.

K.R. Malcolmson, General Manager and CEO, Greater Oshawa
Chamber of Commerce, writing to the Federal Electoral Boundaries
Commission of Ontario, advising that the Greater Oshawa
Chamber of Commerce feels strongly that for future Boundary
restructuring the Commission should be considering "that instead of
increasing the number of seats in government, the government
increase the population base for which each seat serves, such that
there is no increase in the number of seats". Further, in reviewing
Mr. Alex Shepherd's proposal, the Chamber supports his position
that the Federal Electoral Boundary review currently underway
should allow for five Federal Ridings in Durham Region similar to
the recommendation from Mr. Shepherd. The Chamber feels it is
vitally important that where a division of communities is necessary,
the commission should strive to keep communities of interest intact.

Barry McKay, General Manager, Pub and Bar Coalition of Canada
(PUBCO), advising Council of misinformation distributed by the
Ontario Campaign for action on tobacco. The PUBCO challenges
the imposition of 100% smoke bans, both in Ottawa and across the
province, by promoting ventilation as a workable solution and
demonstrating the economic damage 100% bans cause to their
business. It took PUBCO's freedom of information request to
unearth the section of the poll deliberately concealed by the Health
Unit, in which 7 of 10 Ottawans clearly voiced their support for a
compromise solution.

Ron Dabor, Cobourg, writing to Chris Stockwell, Minister of the
Environment, questioning why the provincial government is still
funding Iter. Iter is an experimental installation designed to
produce nothing but danger and radioactive waste. Waste which
will be left in Ontario when the structures are torn down and
technology sent to Japan, With Hydro under attack, Iter will gobble
up irreplaceable megawatts of electric power while scientists fuss
and tinker trying to achieve what 60 years and $100 billion did not
achieve - marketable fusion. Iter spokesmen have seduced local
mayors with photo opportunities and promising jobs and
technology. Importing stale technology, risking Canadian lives and
funding a monument to indulgence, is not a concept which wins the
hearts of voters.

City of Oshawa, providing Council with a copy of a poll seeking
residents' opinions on the expenditure of the new Regional
headquarters. A new Regional headquarters will significantly
increase property taxes while providing residents with no additional
services or benefits. Oshawa City Council does not support a new
Regional headquarters, regardless of location. Beyond the cost of
this major expenditure, the decision will have a significant negative
economic impact if regional jobs located in Oshawa are moved to
one headquarters location,

Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), advising Council that
the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and five municipal
governments will make appeal arguments regarding CRTC
Decision 2001 - 23 in Federal Court. The January 2001 CRTC
ruling denied municipal government the full authority to manage
their public lands or charge for their use and occupation by
telecommunications companies. A decision on their appeal is
expected sometime during 2003, Since Decision 2001-23 was
issued in January 2001, and with the assistance of their
Telecommunications Technical Sub-committee, FCM has been
supporting the defense of municipal rights-of-way across the
country.

'WHEREAS proper road and ramp signage is important and
must be continuous so that any motorist requiring assistance
is able to recognize an easily identified visual marker; and

Ron Dabor, Cobourg, requesting Council to answer the following
questions regarding Iter:
1,
By the best estimates there is a shortfall of $3 - $4 billion in
the $12 billion Iter estimate; the province has limited their
commitments to $10 million a year for 30 years if Iter comes
to Clarington, The US and the Canadian federal government
will not participate in funding, where is this money coming
from? As the host country, does the shortfall legally fall on
Clarington's taxpayers? The Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission has no mandate to determine if these funds are
available, they can only assume funds will be there to meet
their safety standards.
2. Fusion (Iter) is riskier and more complex than fission.
Pickering and Darlington (fission) have racked up over 40
safety problems and refurbishing costs in the $billions.
3. When the Iter structures are torn down and the technology
given to Japan, what districts will receive the gift of
radioactive fuel and debris?
