In comparing the Region’s crime statistics from the first three months of 2001 to the first quarter of 2000, Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine said overall crimes involving victims were up 9.1 per cent from 1,400 dur- ing the first quarter of last year to 1,528 this year. “That basically means 17 times a day some person in Durham Region is a victim of crime,” he said during the Durham Regional Police Ser- vices Board’s quarterly briefing to Durham council. Chief McAlpine also report- ed assaults were up 8.4 per cent, from 735 to 797; thefts were up 8.6 per cent, from 1,383 to 1,502; charges for as- saulting police officers in- creased from 19 to 29; overall traffic offences were up 11.6 per cent from, 2,517 to 2,808, and the number of offensive weapons incidents increased by 28.5 per cent, from 123 to 158. “That is particularly troubling news,” the chief said of the increase in weapons incidents, noting there were almost two such incidents occurring in Durham every day during the first three months of the year.

Durham crime stats up First quarter numbers show 17 people are victims here each day Durham says no to donation forms Vote means hospitals won’t be helped BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —A Pickering councillor is standing by his pro- posal that municipalities should so- licit donations for Durham’s hospi- tals even though Regional council turned down his suggestion Wednesday. Regional representatives voted against Maurice Brenner’s motion to include a contribution form with this year’s tax bills that would allow taxpayers to make a donation to area hospitals.

The 18,000-square-foot facility, located at the corner of Hwy. 2 and Rosebank Road, will become the new home of the Rouge Hill Se- niors Club and the site of many youth programs. The $3-million facility, designed by Teeple Archi- tects Inc., includes a 10,000- sq.-ft. library featuring a col- lection of 35,000 items, a fireplace, a large children’s area and a view of the Petti- coat Creek valley and ravine through an expansive glass wall that runs along the west- ern side and front of the building. “I think it sets a new stan- dard for facilities in Picker- ing,” said Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Dave Ryan. “It’s the first City building that you see as you enter the western gateway not only into Picker- ing, but into Durham.” Coun. Ryan, who called the opening the “realization of a dream”, noted “libraries play an important part in our lives as we grow.” Mayor Wayne Arthurs told the crowd gathered at the centre Wednesday, “This is an important facility. To a large extent it begins to round out our library system.” The mayor noted that al- though library staff has hoped the new facility will provide some relief to the busy main branch, “I somehow suspect this will generate more inter- est in our library system.” The new library replaces the old Rouge Hill branch, which had been scheduled for closure with the opening of the Petticoat Creek branch, but closed in December due to a leaking roof.

Congratulations Trevor for being our Carrier of the Week. Father’s Day Rotary Park Volleyball Tourney $100/team Although there was no debate on the plan during Wednesday’s meeting, Coun. Brenner said in an interview he didn’t raise the issue because he could- n’t argue against the fact the Region doesn’t have the ability to collect taxes, which is a responsibility of the lower- tier governments. “I couldn’t argue against the report because the Region doesn’t have the ability to collect taxes,” Coun. Brenner said. He added he’s still hopeful local municipalities throughout Durham will be in favour of his plan. “I still stand by the fact the tax bills are an appropriate way... to provide an opportunity to do an elective contribu- tion,” he said. “I still believe this could be a win-win situation.” He noted although the hospitals have their own communications budgets, the Region has “the ability to communicate with a larger sector of the population”. He reported the City of Pickering has issued donation forms in the past, citing the Pickering 2000 campaign as an example. “I’m very disappointed in some of the responses (from local municipali- ties) that flatly denied it,” he said. P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 15, 2001 Brenner pushes for donation plan As for speeding tickets and other traffic charges under the Provincial Offences Act, the chief said there has been a 13.2- per cent increase this year over last. “We issued just shy of 7,000 speeding and other traffic tick- ets in the first quarter,” he said, adding he hopes “more consis- tent traffic enforcement” will help reduce that number in the future. Overall, Chief McAlpine re- ported calls for service were up 6.6 per cent, from 31,338 to 33,392, which translates into roughly 371 calls each day. And, he reported that num- ber is expected to climb even higher with the arrival of the warm weather, the increased ac- tivities in the community and the higher consumption of alco- hol on summer weekends. There was also some good news in the chief’s presentation as he told councillors there was a 1.7-per cent decrease in re- ported property crimes, from 6,558 to 6,444; a 3.4-per cent drop in drug charges to 225, and a 6.4-per cent drop in breaking and entering offences, from 654 to 612. When asked during an inter- view if the increase in crime statistics this year is compara- ble to years past, Chief McAlpine said, “No. I think things are moving up a little bit. Certainly violent crime was up.” However, he said it is diffi- cult to interpret whether the ris- ing crime statistics are the result of an increase in crime or are due to the fact that more people are willing to come forward and report crimes. He also noted the growing population in Durham has to be taken into account when re- viewing crime statistics. Meanwhile, councillors also heard Wednesday that the po- lice department is facing in- creased costs this year as a re- sult of new government legisla- tion. Police services board chair- man Bob Boychyn reported the Provincial Adequacy Standards, which took effect in January under an amendment to the Po- lice Services Act, have resulted in a $4-million increase in the police budget this year.

Dr. Donna Reynolds was at Picker- ing council Monday to tell councillors public health offi- cials are no longer wondering if the virus will enter the region, but when it will be de- tected here. “As the crow flies, West Nile Virus is here, we just have not de- tected it yet,” she told councillors. Dr. Reynolds explained the virus is spread by the bite of a fe- male mosquito and said that birds, such as crows, are the pri- mary hosts. “A mosquito may never look the same,” she said. Dr. Reynolds reported the virus was first detected in Uganda in 1937 and said there were also several outbreaks in Israel in the 1950s. But the virus wasn’t detected in North America until an outbreak occurred in Queens, New York in the sum- mer of 1999. That outbreak led to 62 hospital- izations and seven deaths, she noted. “The virus we’re seeing today appears to be more virulent... than the virus in the 1950s,” Dr. Reynolds said. And, that’s why the Region is not only stepping up its surveillance program this year, but is also setting up a Regional committee to de- velop an action plan and a mos- quito control pro- gram. “We want to have an action plan finalized for December 2001 for implementa- tion next year in the spring sea- son,” Dr. Reynolds said. She reported the health depart- ment’s surveil- lance plan is cur- rently focusing on monitoring dead birds, which are be- lieved to be an early indicator that the virus has entered an area. The department is asking members of the public to report any sightings of sick or dead birds, especially crows, ravens and blue jays. To report a sighting of a sick or dead bird, call the health department’s envi- ronmental help line at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2188.

To the editor: Re: ‘Downloading the focus at Banff meet- ing,’June 10. Like Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan, I also question the motivation of the five Pickering councillors out of seven, who opted to go to Banff to attend the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) confer- ence. It seems nothing has changed where free all-expenses-paid luxury trips for coun- cillors are concerned. As a former City of Barrie council mem- ber in the 1970s, I can attest first-hand to the battle that goes on as council representatives get on the list for luxury freebies. It seemed strange to me then, as now, that the rush to attend FCM conferences held in Ontario doesn’t have the same sense of urgency as those in faraway places with attractive side agendas. I chuckled at the comment made by Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner who said, “It was a packed conference.” I guess it was packed, after all isn’t enjoying a won- derful all-expenses-paid trip by taxpayers to Banff an item not to be missed under any cir- cumstances. What did this five-man trip cost the Pickering taxpayers, and did any of the wives attend? My guess is plenty, a stay at Banff doesn’t come cheap ever, and then add on the airfares and cab fares along with food, which I bet wasn’t from any local greasy spoon, and you have one hefty total. It’s time for the mayor to clamp down on such extravagant and reckless spending of tax dollars in times when property taxes rise, and the only people getting pay increases are politicians of every stripe. Will someone on council make a resolution to prevent this from ever happening again? Don’t allow anyone to hide behind the excuse they are entitled to two or three all-paid conventions each year.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 15, 2001 I always enjoy being served by the older women who work the school-hour shifts at fast-food joints. They are a model of calm and cheerful efficiency, born of long years of raising families and feeding the clan. One always has to wait longer with the distracted students who man the evening shifts. But it’s understandable. They’re not yet mothers (hopefully). Motherhood is just like working a long restaurant shift — on your feet running and fetching, serving meals, cleaning up, picking up, chasing children and lost shoes. Mothers can multi-task and remain cool amidst chaos. But there are no tips jingling in one’s pocket at the end of the day. Motherhood and housework are the ultimate volun- teer jobs. The McDonald’s mums make me think of another group of women preparing food. This unassuming gathering happened 12 years ago this month, but the impression it made has never left me. It was Fies- ta time in Oshawa, that annual cele- bration of the many diverse ethnic groups that make up Durham’s largest city. The Lviv pavilion, one of several pavilions representing Oshawa’s large Ukrainian commu- nity, was bustling, with perogies being served by the thousands. Down in the basement there were 32 grey-haired ladies, some in their 80s, sitting around a long table mak- ing buckets and buckets of perogies. Bright bandanas and hairnets cov- ered their heads and they sang and talked as they worked. They were very aware their hard work over the years, cooking and catering, had paid off the mortgages on their churches and community centres. It was clear to everyone there weren’t many younger women, who were busy balancing jobs and families, ready to step into their places. There were worries about how to hold everything to- gether once the older ladies were gone. That time has come now. Many of the older ladies around that table are no longer with us. I’m sure they are missed greatly as their com- munities struggle on without them. Volunteers work quietly in our communities, schools, hospitals and many other institutions. Collective- ly, volunteers in Canada contribute millions of dollars in unpaid work. Without them, our quality of life would suffer greatly. This is the International Year of the Volunteer and behind the plati- tudes, this is what it’s all about — a better life for all of us. And like the Lviv ladies singing and laughing and gossiping as they worked, vol- unteering has its own rewards — friendship, a sense of belonging and accomplishment, acquiring new skills, adding to a resume, being all you can be and helping others. If you haven’t tried volunteering yet, you should, for your own sake as well as others. There won’t be coins in your pocket, but there will be warmth in your heart. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Volunteer! You’ll be surprised by all the rewards They came, they saw, and then the fools stumbled into the long arms of the law. ‘They’ are the misguided zealots who are part of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty. Some of the members of this so-called protest group barged into Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty’s down- town Whitby constituency office near high noon on Tuesday and de- stroyed the place. After they’d turned the office upside down, 12 members of the group found themselves in jail, arrested after police arrived quickly on the scene. In spite of the massive publicity this boneheaded stunt drew, the only thing that was really trashed was OCAP’s image with the vast majority of Ontarians. How much bravery does it take to storm an unguarded, wide- open office, manned by four women, three of whom are university or high school students? How much intelligence does it take to smash equipment, over- turn desks and counters and plaster ‘Defeat Harris’ posters on the walls? How much judgement is involved in terrifying some defenceless students who are only trying to get some on-the-job experience? It’s clear this ridiculous mission was planned in advance. The 50- odd marauders came by bus from Toronto, had a few of their mem- bers scout out the territory for several minutes beforehand and only then came crashing through the Dundas Street doors. The senseless activity clearly will have no effect in reducing poverty in Ontario. Is it meant to force Mr. Flaherty to back down and make changes to next year’s provincial budget? Is it an attempt to make the Premier Mike Harris government and cabinet cower in fear, waiting for the next OCAP hit on one of their offices? None of these goals will be accomplished; on the other hand, the outcry against violent protest will only increase and OCAP’s ability to get its message out will be reduced, its credibility in tatters. The attack did raise one concern, however. It’s clear constituen- cy offices must be better protected. Tory house leader Janet Ecker will meet with her counterparts to come up with a plan to improve security. With the possibility of violence so clearly and quickly demonstrated this week, it’s obvious a deterrent may be necessary to protect staffers working inside. To be sure, there are a lot of people across Ontario unhappy with the provincial government and its policies. But there are legitimate, reasonable ways to protest those policies. Random trashings of con- stituency offices only serve the cause of violence,vindictiveness and vengeance. It’s not the Canadian way and Ontarians will have none of it. Kay Fisher Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Misguided fools only hurt their cause Violent, vindictive attacks on the defenceless not the way to promote group’s cause BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM ––Helping male youths improve their literacy skills and level- ling the playing field for all students are among the goals of Durham public school educators as they prepare for the Grade 10 literacy test. At the last Durham District School Board standing committee meeting, pro- grams superintendent Bev Freedman presented a report showing a “menu- list” of strategies from individual school action plans, created after the results of last fall’s test were analysed.. “More than most boards, we think we are ahead of the game,” she told trustees. The Ontario Secondary School Liter- acy Test is based on Ontario curriculum expectations to the end of Grade 9 and is administered by the Province’s Educa- tion Quality & Accountability Office. Ontario-wide, 61 per cent of students (including those who were absent or de- ferred from all or part of the test) passed both the reading and writing compo- nents last fall. At the Durham public board, 67 per cent of students passed. Last October’s test was just a trial run. But beginning this October, stu- dents will have to pass the literacy test in order to graduate from high school. They will have more than one opportu- nity to do so. “One of the biggest chal- lenges is that kids who come from very deprived families face all sorts of issues that middle-class kids just don’t face that get in the way of learning,” Ms. Freedman said in an interview. Some of the strategies for male youths, who did not score as well as fe- males, include giving them choices in writing assignments according to their interests and walking them through as- signment instructions. Students who did not follow test directions precisely or complete the test did not pass. Ms. Freedman explained boys tend to skip though instructions more than girls. “Following directions is a biggie,” she said, adding some students left out questions and wrote two paragraphs when three were required. Despite the strategies, Ms. Freedman told trustees “we will have large num- bers of students who will be unsuccess- ful” when they write the test in about four months. “Our concern is that the Grade 10 test is now a gatekeeper,” she said.

At a Durham District School Board budget meeting, she proposed the board withdraw from the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA) and use the almost $100,000 it spends to be a member to instead purchase text- books. She said students are suffering be- cause there are not enough textbooks in classrooms. “This is a big problem,” said Trustee Shetler. “I’m hearing it from parents and I’m hearing it from teachers.” She accepted Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers’ motion that the money be used for books and educational assis- tants who work with special-needs chil- dren. He said he would be willing to give up going to an OPSBA conference “where we spend all kinds of money”. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross said the same motion comes before the board about every two years, and he himself made it one at point. Mistakenly, said Trustee Ross. He said OPSBA is a school board’s, not a trustees’ association, and that the cost of not belonging “would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars every year”. Trustee Ross, who sits on the OPSBA finance committee, cited an ex- ample where a school board had to fight a developer who wanted more money for an expropriated piece of land. “If we don’t underwrite these costs as a group, then it would be the Durham board paying $200,000,” he said. The association is “one of the few or- ganizations the minister of education lis- tens to,” said Trustee Ross, suggesting trustees may want to look at conference expenses instead.

Business superintendent Ron Trbovich estimated the board re- ceives about $25,000 in legal ad- vice from OPSBA during the year. More important is OPSBA’s role in “lobbying the government effectively to get our point across,” he said.

As teachers from local boards of education walked picket lines in re- cent years, striking over teaching time and other changes to educa- tion forced by the Province, classes quietly continued at Durham’s pri- vate schools. But Durham’s private educators don’t necessarily see a connection between enrolment at their schools and the well-publicized troubles which have plagued the public edu- cation system over the past five years. “I’m not sure that enrolment in independent schools has jumped per se” as a result of any real or per- ceived turmoil in the public system, says George Briggs, principal of Whitby’s girls-only Trafalgar Cas- tle School, a member of the Con- ference of Independent Schools of Ontario. But for many parents, the school’s average class size of 15 students, and absolute maximum classroom load of 20 students, is among the major draws. Class size a big draw “Certainly when parents are coming to our school, they’re look- ing for smaller class sizes,” says Mr. Briggs, who also points to the single gender setting and the fact that all students, Grades 6 through 10, have laptop computers on which to do their school work, as motivators for parents, who shell out the more than $13,000 annually charged to attend Trafalgar as a day student. Class size is one of the things that attracts parents to send their children to Four Winds Montessori School in Bowmanville, says owner Annette Moore. The school, which accepts chil- dren into the half-day program be- ginning as soon as they are toilet- trained, has classes for students up to Grade 8. But students there are not neces- sarily pigeonholed into the grade they should be in given their age, says Ms. Moore. “They progress at their own lev- els. We may have a child who is 11 and working at a Grade 7 level,” she says, noting student work is based on individual capabilities. Christian schools are on the grow The motivation can be slightly different when it comes to parents making the choice to send their children to Christian schools in the area. “We have parents coming here who are very interested in Christian education,” says George Petrusma, principal of Knox Christian School in Bowmanville. He says being able to add Christian school to the strong Christian environment at home and church allows students “three different areas where a con- sistent message is being communi- cated to them.” The Bowmanville school, which started on its current site in 1957 with four classrooms, has had two additions, and is currently looking at a third add-on, has grown by about 100 students, to a population of 335, over the past decade. “We have experienced what I would consider to be slow, steady growth from 1991-92 to now,” he says, noting one of the “major fac- tors” behind the growth is the fact the school broadened its scope somewhat a number of years ago. “We came from what I would consider to be a Dutch Christian Reform background,” says Mr. Petrusma. But starting in 1990, the school opened to children who were “not just exclusively Dutch Christian.” Since then, the numbers have been climbing. Tax credit proposal welcomed The recent proposal by the Province of Ontario to allow par- ents who chose to send their chil- dren to private schools to claim a tax credit of up to $3,500 was wel- come news to private school educa- tors. The announcement meant more than money, notes Mr. Petrusma. “The biggest thing right now it means for us is that there’s an ac- knowledgement that we are permit- ted to have some kind of support from the government,” he says. “That feels good to us.” Despite reports to the contrary, being rich is not necessarily a pre- requisite for attending private schools, and that $3,500 credit might make a major difference to some, notes the principal. As it stands, the school helps out those who cannot afford full tu- ition. “We have a great program for families who find it hard to achieve that tuition level,” says Mr. Petrusma. “In our case, at Knox, you’re not talking about families who are very, very rich. They’re middle, even lower, income.” The main prerequisite for stu- dents attending Knox is a family wish to take part in Christian edu- cation, and that will continue to be so when the tax credit is in place, says Mr. Petrusma. Family tuition at Knox is based on a sliding scale based on income and grade level, says Mr. Petrusma. But the average cost to parents is about $7,000, he notes. Likewise, Trafalgar is not exclu- sive to only the very, very rich, in spite of the more than $13,000 price tag for day students, notes Mr. Briggs. “We have a lot of parents who are making considerable sacrifices to send their daughters here,” he says. A is for accountability: school principals While private schools are in- spected by the Ministry of Educa- tion only if they are issuing Ontario Secondary School Diplomas, principals of two local private schools say they are as account- able, if not more so, than schools in the public system. The board of directors made up of parents and community members in charge of Bow- manville’s Knox Christian School and Durham Christian High School has “very much a vested interest in what’s happening with- in the walls” of the two schools, says Knox principal George Petrusma. While public elementary schools follow Provincially-man- dated curriculum, students at Knox learn according to curricu- lum documents prepared by the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools. Teachers from across the province are able to join cur- riculum-writing teams. But that doesn’t mean the Province’s cur- riculum is disregarded, says Mr. Petrusma. “They use a number of re- source materials, including the Ministry guidelines,” notes the principal, adding curriculum pro- vided to Knox “meets or exceeds the current Ministry standards.” The difference, Mr. Petrusma says, is in the delivery. “We believe that this world was created by God, and that fact affects every area of the curricu- lum,” he says. Those schools offering the Ontario Secondary School Diplo- ma are subject to Education Min- istry rules, says ministry spokesman Dave Ross. “If they want to offer the OSSD, they are subject to inspec- tion, to ensure they are working to our guidelines and standards,” he says, noting those schools wish- ing to issue the diploma have to “follow the (Provincial) curriculum, and ensure their teachers are ac- tually teachers.” Knox teachers have to meet educational requirements, includ- ing having a Christian School Teachers’ Certification. Trafalgar Castle School teachers “have cer- tification from various jurisdic- tions,” says principal George Brig- gs. However, they don’t necessar- ily have to follow the same rules as teachers in the public system. “We are not obliged to hire only teachers who are certified in Ontario,” Mr. Briggs says. At Trafalgar, “we offer ad- vanced level courses only for uni- versity qualifications,” says Mr. Briggs. Ministry curriculum is fol- lowed for all grades offered at the school, which is open to students in Grade 6 through OAC. And the students at the school seem to be quite successful. Though some students take a year off after completing their high school education at Trafalgar, Mr. Briggs says the vast majority - 95 per cent, in fact - go on to post- secondary education. “Some people are suggesting that private schools are not ac- countable. We are certainly ac- countable to our stakeholders,” says Mr. Briggs.

We’re online at: durhamregion.com Ride the rails in Atlantic Canada East coast offers affordable beach vacation alternatives Imagine picturesque small towns and quiet sunny beaches. Imagine an unspoiled coastline, the salty tang of the ocean air, and an enchanting green countryside. For many Canadians, this beauti- ful vacation image has become just that — a figment of their imagination. Thanks to a continuously plunging dollar, many Canadians have put their annual love affair with the beach on hold. But what many don’t realize is that the beach vacations they crave can also be attained right in their own backyard — in Canada’s charm- ing Atlantic region. “With the dollar getting worse every year, more and more Cana- dians are looking for affordable alternatives to going down south for their beach vacations,” said Keith Moulton, director of mar- ket development, eastern Canada for Via Rail. Moulton said many travellers are now choosing Chaleur Bay, the Gaspé Peninsula and the At- lantic Coast as new destination options. “If you’re looking for a re- laxed, easy-going family vacation with beautiful scenery, unspoiled beaches, warmth and friendli- ness, Atlantic Canada is an ideal and affordable destination,” he said. So how do you get there? With Via’s eastern transcontinental trains your options include: the ‘Ocean’ and ‘Chaleur’. The Ocean travels between Montreal and Halifax, stopping at Charny, Rimouski, Mont-Joli, Matapedia, Bathurst and Monc- ton. Aboard the Ocean, Via offers economy class and easterly first- class sleepers. The Ocean departs six times a week and offers convenient train, ferry and bus connections — from Moncton to Saint John and Prince Edward Island, from Truro to Cape Breton Island and New- foundland, and Charny to Que- bec. The Chaleur plies the Montre- al/Gaspé route three times a week all-year round, travelling through Charny, Rimouski, Mont-Joli, Matapedia, Bonaventure and Percé. Aboard the Chaleur, you can choose economy class or sleeper class. Things to do in the Maritimes when you’re not enjoying the beautiful beaches: A few suggestions once you get off the Ocean: • Visit the port of Halifax, N.S., one of the largest ports in Canada. Don’t miss the Atlantic Maritime Museum and its dis- plays about the Titanic; • See the Louisbourg fortress and experience the atmosphere of this French fort destroyed by the English in 1760 — and recon- structed for your enjoyment; • Bring your bike and enjoy the finest cycling holiday you’ve ever experienced by touring Cape Breton Island. The countryside is staggering, and so are the hills you’ll have to climb. This trip is definitely for dedicated cyclists only; • Anywhere on the coast, stop off in one of the many fishing vil- lages and enjoy a fresh local lob- ster (or two); and • If you’re looking for a unique Celtic tour experience, you can try Via’s first-class train ‘Bras d’Or’ between Sydney and Hali- fax. Gaspé peninsula attractions once you disembark the Chaleur: • From the town of Gaspé, Que., visit Forillon National Park, and discover the nature and history of the Gaspé peninsula; • At Percé, you can’t miss the spectacular Percé Rock, an enor- mous rock sporting a huge hole drilled by the waves; • Boat tours to the renowned Bonaventure Island, a seabird sanctuary, are very popular as well. In the village of Bonaven- ture, 120 kilometres west of Percé, you’ll find one of Que- bec’s loveliest salmon rivers. You will need to make reservations if you want to fish; and • Stop in one of the villages along Chaleur Bay and pass the time by walking along the coast.

However, while that number seems impressive, more volunteers are still needed for the organization’s Drive Program. Elaine Wright comes from an en- tire family of volunteer drivers for the CAS and encourages more people to help out too. Her family became involved when her mother met a CAS volunteer in her church group. Being a stay-at- home mom, her mother decided to lend a hand. “She enjoyed it so much and I used to go with her from time to time when she had to drive outside the city and that, so I started driving to,” said Elaine. “Then I got my daughter and my son-in-law involved in it too.” Mrs. Wright, 53, has been driving for the CAS Monday to Friday for five or six hours a day since she start- ed with the agency in February, but added people can drive as little or as often as they’d like. “If you like children and you want to do some good for them, I think to see a little smile on their face when you come to pick them up because they recognize you, it’s almost like being a special friend to them and some of them need that,” she said. “They’ve had kind of a tough life and they need somebody to care about them a little bit.” Ron VandeWalker (a.k.a. Snowball to the children he drives) has been driving for 18 years. Shortly after he retired he was ap- proached, but admits he was hesitant at first. “I had a couple of social workers on my back saying ‘we need you’,” said Mr. VandeWalker. “And what a need. I had no idea.” He added earning a smile and of- fering friendship isn’t just beneficial to the children. “I can put my head on the pillow and sleep at night because I know I’ve done something good.” Anyone who becomes a driver for the CAS will be reimbursed for his or her mileage and expenses. Any drivers interested must be comfortable dealing with confidential and sensitive situations, provide ref- erences and pass a criminal reference check.

Whether your garden is sunny or shady, there is an ideal flowering shrub for your garden. The spireas and weiglas both contin- ue to gain in popular- ity as breeders find ways to ensure small- er growth habits or different coloured foliage. For example, “Bridalwreath”spirea typically is a large flowering shrub but for the same old-fash- ioned bloom with a neater smaller shrub try “Snowmound” spirea. Do you like the look of “Goldmound” spirea with its brightly hued yellow foliage but would like it as an edging plant? - try “Golden Elf” spirea which can be used as a ground cover. In the weiglas a popular variety is “Wine and Roses” or “Alexandria” which has a very dark bur- gundy foliage or “Minuet” which is much smaller that most cultivars or wei- gla but with the same delightful blooms. The hydrangeas are another popular shrub for areas with partial shade and as well provide flowers in white (“Annabelle” or “Peegee”), blue (“Nikko Blue”), pink (“Forever Pink”), or burgundy (“Burgundy Janice J. Donelle Horticulturist Pine Ridge Garden Gallery ADVERTISING FEATURE Lace”). For late blooms in your garden select from one of the many Rose-of-Sharons. From blues to pinks to whites, in single or double flower, the Rose-of-Sharon will provide continuous blooms from late summer to frost. A very unique Rose-of Sharon is the 3 in 1 which has double blooms of red, white, and blue on one plant. Buy early to avoid disappoint- ment. Areas with shade would be ideal for “Summersweet” and “Sweetspire” - both varieties will not only tolerate the shade but have delightful fragrant flowers and either yellow or red fall foliage. Flowering shrubs will provide your garden with added interest as well as being a background for your perennials and annuals. When planting your new shrubs use Garden Gallery transplanter to ensure good root for- mation and reduce transplant shock, add bonemeal to planting hole and water regu- larly as the tempera- ture and humidity soars. Visit us today at Pine Ridge Garden Gallery where you will find a vast assortment of flower- ing shrubs for your home and cottage. Until next week’s column, sit back and “Vision Your Garden”.

Two sought in assault on Ajax teen Crime Stoppers seeks tips to solve incident AJAX ––Crime Stoppers and Durham Regional Police are asking for help in solving an assault that oc- curred in Ajax last month. At about 9:50 p.m. on Thursday, May 31, a teenaged boy was walking along a pathway through a field west of Harwood Avenue and north of Kingston Road when he was ap- proached by a man riding a yellow bike. The man asked for a cigarette and the boy said he had none and contin- ued walking. A second man then ap- proached the boy with the same re- quest, and again, he said he had none and continued walking. The second man followed the boy a short distance and asked if he was carrying a wallet. When he attempted to locate a wallet, the boy began shouting and was grabbed and told to keep quiet. A struggle ensued and the victim was punched in the face before the attack- er fled on foot. Both suspects are black males, 16 to 19 years old, and tall. The first man was wearing dark pants and a white sweater, while the other was wearing a blue ‘Tommy’ jacket with a faded logo that was dif- ficult to read. The jacket’s hood was over his head.

Each year, approximately 600 Canadians drown in lakes, rivers, oceans, waterways, and pools. For children between the ages of one and four, drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional death in Canada. The Canadian Red Cross is offering parents advice to ensure a safe summer in and around water: • Make sure children are well-supervised at all times around the water. Be your child’s life- guard; • Enrol your children in swimming courses that include water safety training; • Make sure all occupants in a boat — adults included— wear properly fitted, approved life- jackets or personal flotation devices; • Be sure you have all necessary safety de- vices for backyard pools as required by munic- ipal bylaws; • Ensure gates to backyard pools are self- closing, latching and locking when the pool is not in use; • Know and obey the rules of the swimming area you are using.

Based on the popular video game series, ‘Tomb Raider’features the adventures of Lara Croft — an antiquities hunter-for-hire. She was born into wealth and groomed at the most elite schools. She travels to dangerous and mysterious locales around the globe in search of rare, lost crypts and long-for- gotten empires. She speaks numerous languages, is highly trained for combat and answers to no one, obeying only her desire for adventure. Now, she must face her greatest challenge yet: To find two halves of an ancient artifact buried in space and time. To possess it means ultimate power for its possessor. But, to get there, Croft must first take on a pow- erful and dangerous secret society. The fate of mankind rests in the hands of Croft. A female Indi- ana Jones, Croft’s expeditions are always chock full of action, danger, intrigue, suspense and her omnipresent knack for defying death in tight out- fits. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Pickering Town Centre). ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (Animated) Starring Michael J. Fox, James Garner, Claudia Christian, Mark Hamill. An inexperienced young adventurer becomes the key to unravelling an ancient mystery when he joins up with a group of daredevil explorers to find the legendary lost empire of Atlantis. At the centre of the group is naive-but-deter- mined museum cartographer Milo Thatch (Fox), who dreams of completing the quest begun by his late grandfather, a famous explorer. When a long-lost journal surfaces, providing new clues to the location, and an eccentric billion- aire agrees to fund an expedition, the action shifts into high gear. Milo ultimately leads Captain Rourke (Garner) and his team to the elusive undersea kingdom, but what they find there defies their expectations and triggers an explosive series of events that only Milo can resolve.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 I ’m getting very excited again! International Dairy Queen will rock the city of Pickering when we roll out the newest DQ Royal Treat THE BROWNIE EARTHQUAKE this week. I’m sure the shock waves will record a ten on the Richter Scale. Let me explain what prompted International Dairy Queen to come out with this new product. Do you remember the Hot Fudge Brownie Delight and the Fudge cake Supreme? When they were discontinued by IDQ there was a lot of complaints. This is the new improved product and I’m pleased to say that it is the DESSERT OF DESSERTS. First we start with the Brownie. Dairy Queen went to Mr. Christie to bake a special Oreo brownie for this dessert which is moist and chewy and filled with Oreo. You know the kind of brownies you get in that brown bag that melt in your mouth. Those Oreo brownies and a glass of ice cold milk would do it for me! After the two Oreo brownies are placed in the side of the dish a heaping mound of our famous DQ soft serve is spindled in. Our server then goes over to the stainless steel hot fudge pump where our private label hot fudge is kept at 140 degrees. No one else sells this exclusive blend of hot fudge which is one of the reasons people keep coming back for our products like the Peanut Buster Parfait, the Pecan Mudslide and the Chocolate Rock. The Brownie Earthquake will be no exception. A generous pump of hot fudge is sent cascading down over that mound of soft serve pooling on top of those moist brownies. Mmmm Good! Lets start now! Where’s my fork? But that’s not all. IDQ wanted something sweet and creamy so we now spiral a pump of our marshmallow topping around the top. Now here is the big one. In 16 years IDQ has never allowed blizzard toppings to be put on any other products. But in co-operation with Christies the new Brownie Earthquake will send tremors through the store when we sprinkle Oreo cookie pieces on top! Oh my! Oreo Brownies! Oreo Cookie! DQ Soft Serve! Marshmallow! Hot Fudge! And there’s more! To make his dessert complete two portions of Rich’s chilled whipped topping (prepared right here in the store) are dispensed on either side of this majestic mouth watering combination of ingredients. A final tribute to decadence. If you’re always a sweet person try it without the marshmallow topping. There is always something exciting happening at the Pickering Dairy Queen. As one of the mother’s said to me on a recent Friday night with the store filled with parents and teenagers. Charles this is a “happenin” place! Enjoy the coupon this week and meet me at DQ!

And that’s just in Durham Region. Across the country there are millions. Most are cats because they can survive the winter. There are also dogs that roam the neighbourhoods scavenging food and in some cases joining other dogs in packs. Their large numbers can be attributed to the uncontrolled sexual activity among the stray population But ultimately it all starts with irresponsible pet owners. One cat can give birth to several kittens and the geomet- ric progression can be mind bog- gling considering cats gestation period is 8 weeks and they can get pregnant again before their current litter is weaned. It’s not uncommon for cat owners to allow their cat to have at least one litter. The problem is finding them a home. If they don’t then they just might find themselves in the great outdoors. “It’s not true that a cat or dog must have at least one lit- ter,” says SPCA Inspector Betty Vanseters. “They don’t care and it doesn’t effect their health or longevity.” While Betty says the cost of spaying or neutering may be what stops owners from having it done, Dr. Donald Roden of Sheridan Veterinary Services in Pickering says getting an ani- mal spayed or neutered is not as expensive as you think. “In fact it only cost you 2 to $300 a year to keep your cat healthy in the first year and half as much after it has been ster- ilized,” he explains. “Most people spend a lot more in a year rent- ing videos or on car repairs.” Dr. Roden says that before you buy a pet you have to ask yourself one important ques- tion. Can I afford to look after it? If you can’t then you should- n’t. “Just because you had a cat or dog growing up and it never had to go to the vet does- n’t mean yours won’t,” he says. Preventative care can go a long way to preventing more serious illness.” Dr. Roden says it’s not surprising that his patients and those of others vets prac- tice preventative care and have their pets spayed or neutered. He explains that one of the reasons for an increase in the stray population is that tradi- tionally males pet owners are reluctant to get their male ani- mals neutered,” he says. “They empathize with the animal and feel somehow it reduces their masculinity.” He says more female pets get spayed but the num- ber of male cats and dogs is much lower. Of course this inequity doesn’t do much to reduce the pet population growth. Betty says new pet owners origi- nally intend on keep- ing their pets indoors so they see no reason to get them spayed or neutered. “But females go into heat many times a year and start howling and groaning to attract the males,” she says. “This howl- ing can get pretty annoying and as a result their owner kicks them outside and nature takes its course.” When it comes to males explains Betty, they look at their home as a territory much like they would out- side and start spraying to mark it. “It’s not long before this annoying habit also gets them turfed outside and well you know the rest,” she says It’s this proliferation of stray animals in the outdoors that means even those that have their ani- mal sterilized should keep them indoors. Roaming around out- side in a stray cat’s territory may result in serious injury or death to your cat if it wanders into unfriendly terrain. To emphasize the fact that some people just shouldn’t own pets the SPCA and Humane Societies get calls from people moving into new homes or apartments to find the owners have left their pets behind. “It can happen for many reasons,” says Betty. “The peo- ple were moving into a home that doesn’t allow pets or they just couldn’t travel with them. She says you should call the SPCA for help before you leave your pet behind. Not only have they discovered cats and long time family pets but also exotic animals like lizards and birds. Dr. Roden says you should think long and hard before you buy as pet. “You should do your home- work,” he says. “Determine if you can afford the expense and the time to own a dog or cat. And most definitely have it spayed or neutered.” Think Twice Before You Buy a Pet SPCA Inspector Betty Vanseters says stray cats are growing in numbers at an alarming rate and spaying and neutering is the only way to slow it down. Some of them end up at the Human Society in Oshawa, at right. Did you know... Your dog can become sunburned.

The debate over whether to use a crate for your dog, or not, is always a hot issue. To most, the use of a crate is a lifesaver. It buys us a bit of time, and allows us to take a much needed break from dealing with a boisterous pup the majority of the time. For others, the crate is seen as too much confinement and they feel it may take an emotional toll on the pup. Actually, the debate should be over the use of crates for adult dogs Vs puppies. A crate is a training tool and is used to greatly assist in housetraining a young pup. Crates can provide a comfortable den-like environment and when introduced correctly, should be your puppy’s favourite hang out. It can be a safe haven for your pup and if you have children, they should be taught to leave him alone once he enters his crate. The theory is that most pups do not soil the area in which they sleep. For housetraining purposes, your pup can be put into his crate whenever you are unable to supervise him. His crate should have comfortable bedding and a few of his favourite chew toys. Crates can also be used for time out. It is perfectly acceptable to give your pup some alone time during the day, a time where he will learn to settle down quietly. Lets face it... you may just need to get a bit of vacuuming done! Crates come in a variety of styles, from open wire to enclosed plastic. They should be kept in a social area of your home, like a kitchen or family room, not a basement or laundry room. It is nice for your pup to be able to see and enjoy the comings and goings of the family while in his crate. Of course, great care should be taken to ensure that your pup gets enough exercise. A daily romp in the park is a minimum. Adult dogs should be taught to respect your home, and most will not need to use a crate as they mature. Once your pup has been fully housetrained and he has learnt to be trustworthy in your home (not tearing up the TV guide before you get a glimpse of it), he can start to have his crate door left open. The next step is to give him his own bed. The bed should be placed in the same spot as his crate and voila... your dog is now a complete member of the family. Storing that crate in your garage for future use is a good idea. If your dog gets ill or injured you may find it will come in handy. Who knows, that crate may have the cobwebs dusted off it when dog number two joins the family! Dog Crate Debate Did you know...

In my opinion, Zeus is a normally active male dog with a slightly strong attitude, but I keep telling my wife that he’ll grow out of that in time. My wife disagrees and feels because of that and other reasons that we should neuter Zeus, but I don’t want to. I fail to see the reasoning behind it and feel it’s cruel and unnecessary. I think that once Zeus has been able to mate once or twice, he’ll get it out of his system and then he’ll calm down and his attitude will improve. I’ve heard that castrated dogs tend to gain weight and become extremely lazy, not to mention become somewhat of a “wimp” and I don’t want that to happen to Zeus. Please help me convince my wife that neutering Zeus is just not necessary. Ray. Donaldson (Ajax) Dear Ray: First things first, this isn’t about you, it’s about what is best for Zeus. Did you know that millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year because of over population. Allowing Zeus to “mate once or twice” to get it out of his system is only wishful thinking on your part. That action does not work in the human race and it does work in the animal kingdom either. In fact, it has the opposite effect. It is my opinion that breeding should be left to the experts. Let’s start by clearing up some misconceptions about neutering. We humans tend to avoid or be afraid of things that we do not understand. The procedure is called castration (“neutering” sounds so much nicer) and what it does is it removes the dogs’ reproductive organs (ie. testicles.). This procedure is done for a number of reasons, including for both medical and behavioural problems. Medical problems, which may be prevented and/or eliminated, are testicular cancer, prostatic disease, and certain types of hernias. Behavioural issues that may be resolved include roaming, certain types of hormone-related dominance, aggressive tendencies, male dog fighting and excessive territorial urine marking. It is only a myth that neutered/spayed animals become overweight and lazy. This only happens if you are over-feeding and/or under-exercising your pet. The procedure of neutering is relatively minor and is done under a general anaesthesia with a quick, usually painless recovery period of only a couple of days. I suggest that you speak to your vet about this procedure in more detail for a more in-depth explanation. After the procedure, I suggest that you and Zeus join a good obedience class and learn some strong training and control techniques. In summary, there is documented evidence to show that castration/neutering makes for a healthier and happier pet. What could possibly be more important than that?......Nothing! **************************** Dear Paws For Thought: I have a 3 year old spayed Springer Spaniel “Suki”. She’s a wonderful companion and my soul mate, but she does have one behaviour that I’m trying desperately to curb. When I or someone she likes comes into the house, Suki won’t stop jumping up on me or them. I can tolerate this most of the time, but it really proves to be a bit of a problem when children or my Grandmother visit. I did question a local trainer about this behaviour and her suggestion to me was that every time Suki jumps up on me - I was to lift my knee and “knee” her in the chest. Now, I’m not a professional dog trainer, but this action did not sit right with me and made me feel quite uncomfortable, to the point that I left and did not finish the training classes with that facility. Can you help with me with problem with perhaps a “painless” solution? Mary Church (Pickering) **************************** Dear Mary: You were definitely correct in feeling uncomfortable with that trainer’s suggestion and to leave the class. That trainer’s advice was totally unacceptable. NEVER inflict pain on your dog to receive a desired behaviour or to stop an unwanted one. It is inconceivable and unfair to punish a dog for a behaviour that we more than likely created and/or encouraged. Jumping up is one of the most common complaints most dog owners have, but in reality, is very easy to stop. What other creature in the world will continuously give you that type of greeting each and every time you come home....only a dog! Jumping up is a learned behaviour. Often when they are puppies and they jump up, it’s cute. It’s only when the dog gets older and bigger does it then become an unwanted behaviour. Please remember that you must be consistent with your corrections concerning Suki’s behaviour. If you cannot be consistent with your requests, you cannot expect Suki to be. I would suggest that you try keeping a few of her favourite toys, (ie. stuffed Kong, bone or ball) and/or treats near the door to use upon your arrival home. You know the action is coming from Suki as soon as you open the door, so now you will be prepared. Immediately draw Suki’s attention to the toy or treat and lure her down off you. Once all four feet are on the floor immediately reward that good behaviour. Do not treat her while she is jumping up, because you will in fact be rewarding that particular behaviour. It won’t be long before Suki begins to anticipate your actions when you come home and will, in turn, be anxiously awaiting that tossed Kong or bone or favourite treat when she sits in front of you. Soon this will become a fun game for you both when you come home. When visitors arrive at your door, I would suggest that you put Suki on a leash and put her in a sold sit/stay beside you. Reward that behaviour immediately. I would also suggest that you and Suki join a good obedience class and learn some strong training techniques. Make sure you approve of the trainer and they’re training techniques. Observe Suki’s attitude towards the trainer (ie. is Suki nervous or apprehensive with the trainer). Tell the trainer that you would like to sit in and watch a class before you join. Be sure to notice whether everyone in the class seems relaxed and having fun and that no dog seems to be stressed in the class. Training your canine companion should not be a chore or a painful experience for either of you, but rather should be fun, enjoyable and a bonding experience that will take you on one of the most cherished and rewarding adventures of your life. Good Luck. ********************** Dear Paws For Thought: I am a senior who has just recently been widowed and I live alone. It was my family’s suggestion that I get a puppy or kitten to keep me company. I did just that and I now have a 4 month old kitten “Honey” which I rescued from the local animal. “Honey” is quite affectionate, adorable, a great companion. She makes me laugh just sitting watching her antics. Honey is able to make me forget, even for just that brief moment, all life’s problems. My dilemma with “Honey” is that she scratches the back of my couch and chairs constantly. I’ve tried putting a towel over the back of them, but that doesn’t deter Honey in the least. Do you have any suggestions? S.D. Bowden (Oshawa) Dear S.D. Bowden: I’m thrilled that you rescued a kitten from the local shelter. Cats make wonderful companions, being much more independent than dogs, but they still need some training to a certain point. Let me start off by saying that scratching objects is a natural behaviour for cats. We humans tend to think scratching is wrong only because it is usually done on our prized possessions. Cats scratch for a number of reasons, such as nail maintenance, marking territory and release of stress. I would suggest that you purchase Honey a scratching post and show her how to use it, by placing her two front paws at the top of the post and slowly and gently bring them down the post. If you watch Honey’s face you will probably notice that the scratching does provide her with what would seem a pleasurable experience and probably feels wonderful for her to stretch out all of those retractor muscles in her paws. There are some wonderfully entertaining scratch posts out there, with plateaus at the top where cats just love to lounge and observe and watch all that goes on beneath them. I would also suggest, if you have not already done so, bring some toys and catnip home to entertain her as well. . If and only if you intend to keep Honey as an indoor cat -you may wish to speak to your veterinarian about having Honey’s front claws removed. She may still try and scratch the couch and chairs after being declawed, but with no claws - there will be no damage done. If Honey is going to be allowed outside, do not remove the claws because she will need those claws in the outside world. Paws For Thought Looking for a Change?

We all love our dogs and we all think they are special but dogs that do commercial work have unique talents, not unlike movie stars. Most dogs doing commercial or print work are hired through a dog talent agency. The agency has a roster of experienced dogs (and sometimes many other pets) that they can call on to get the job done. The company hiring the dog will dictate to the agent what they are looking for as far as physical appearance and talent and the agency will send out head shots and resumes of the dogs they feel are appropriate for this job...yes, the dogs have their own head shots! The bare minimum for any dog to know on any set is a good, solid stay. Meaning do not move, not at all, even with cameras zooming in, microphones over the head and the actors eating the donut they are advertising. And not only stay, but also look comfortable and happy doing it. Many dogs can sit and stay with lots of distractions but a good percentage of them look worried while doing it. Don’t forget, it is a very confusing and hectic environment for a dog that is not experienced. So, that is the stay, for a photograph to go on a package, flyer or billboard. What about dogs that act? This is where the dogs needs a lot more talent. Just because Max does a few tricks in the living room does not make him an actor, it makes him a really neat pet. People that handle dogs in studio settings or on movie sets are called Animal Wranglers. Dog actors need to be able to understand what the wrangler wants. The wrangler is experience in manipulating the scene and has a great rapport with the dog. The great animal actors have a charm, a spark, that comes through the screen...and they seem to really know how to ham it up! One of the more difficult things a dog actor needs to do is to work away from the wrangler, to do the desired behavior on the set while being directed with cues from the side. To complicate things a bit more, many dog actors must learn to look at and take cues from the human actor they are working with. Remember to factor in that that actor may or may not like dogs. So, you still want to get your dog into show biz. How do you do it? First, make sure you keep your dog learning. Enroll in dog classes and keep him in. Do it all. Get this dog learning sports, obedience and especially tricks. This may or may not land him the role, but will keep him thinking and learning all the time. Many dog agencies select dogs they think are suitable from the roster of dogs that they personally know. If your dog is a great dog and is out doing agility or flyball, he will have more exposure. Remember that it is not the agency that has the say over who goes to an audition. The company hiring the dog will dictate what they are looking for. If you have a stunning Golden Retriever, who can pull a person out of a burning building, it doesn’t matter if that is not what they are looking for. Your goal should not be to get your dog into show biz. Your ultimate goal should be to teach your dog as much as you can, to have fun and enjoy the company of your dog and if he gets discovered...you will be ready! Pet Playcare Lets The Dogs Out There’s no question you love your pet. You’d be there for them all the time if you could, but that’s not possible. You have to go to work or on vacation and your pet has to stay home. Melanie Hancock is the owner of Pet Playcare, a service that treats your pets like VIP’s - Very Important Pets. Pet Playcare solves the problem of what to do about your pet. They provide a daily dog walking service so your pet can get out for healthy exercise and fun. A mid day break for your pet helps to alleviate boredom also - and boredom can lead to mischief in the home. Melanie also provides a pet sitting service if you go on vacation or away on business. The pet stays in its own home where it feels most comfortable and receives multiple daily visits for feedings, walks and playtime. “We match our routine with the pet’s routine and it stays in its own home, sleeps in its own bed and eats its usual food” says Melanie. “We try to customize the care for each pet, because they all have unique needs.” Pet Playcare services the Pickering Ajax area and provides care for all kinds of domestic pets. All Pet Playcare staff are bonded, insured and have Pet First Aid, providing clients with peace of mind and the added security of knowing your pet and home are in good hands.For more information about Pet Playcare call 905-837-8853.
