A blue day for Pickering Life may slow down in Pickering Councillor wants speed limits dropped in communities BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- You may soon have to slow down to 40 km/h on all residential streets in Pickering. A council decision Monday night to reduce speeds on Rawl- ings Drive, Heathside Crescent, Walnut Lane and Longbow Drive has prompted Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Dave Ryan to push for 40 km/h postings on all internal res- idential streets, which would be considered those inside subdivi- sions. He plans to ask Pickering's traffic department at an upcom- ing council meeting to complete a map of all the City's streets with those aims in mind. "Three years ago I brought for- ward the discussion that we should make all internal roads 40 kilometres," he said Monday night. "Then we had the safer streets study for two-and-a-half years and still no recommenda- tion for 40 kilometres on internal streets. "But I hear now from Council- lor (Bill) McLean and Councillor (Mark) Holland that 40 kilome- tres is a good speed," Coun. Ryan said. Region expands recycling program starting in June BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Don't throw those milk cartons, plastic laundry detergent bottles and aerosol cans into the green garbage bag anymore. Beginning next month, all of Durham receives the expanded blue box service that began ear- lier this year in Clarington, Scu- gog, Uxbridge and Brock. The decision came Wednes- day, as regional council passed its 2003 solid waste manage- ment budget at a cost of $20,426,600 for operations and $720,000 for capital projects. The Region continues to be a leader in waste diversion, said Durham Chairman Roger An- derson at the finance meeting leading up to council's decision. He encouraged councillors to consider innovative ways to di- vert the Region's garbage out of landfill, including the expanded blue box program and separate collection of organic waste, such as kitchen scraps for com- posting as is currently done in four of the Region's municipali- ties. "We don't need Hazel McCal- lion or the Smart Growth Panel telling us how to get rid of our garbage," he said pointing out in recent contracts the Region negotiated assurances its land- fill needs will be met if there is ever a border-closing for trucks headed to Michigan. "We are the only municipality in Ontario with first right of re- fusal on any landfill site in On- tario." Under the expanded pro- gram, juice boxes, all plastic bottles with a twist-off cap, gable-top containers like juice, milk and cream cartons, and empty aerosol and paint cans join the list of materials resi- dents can add to the blue box. The expanded service is planned to begin in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering June 9.

Durham's public school board on Wednesday reached tentative con- tract agreements with the Canadian Union of Public Employees' local 218, averting a strike that was to have begun yesterday. The two-year deal affects roughly 1,700 education assistants, custodial and maintenance workers and office and clerical employees who work for the Durham District School Board. The agreement follows a deal reached on the weekend between the board and the local unit of the On- tario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF). The board ne- gotiating team was to bargain yester- day with the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO). Sally McIlveen, the board's employ- ee relations' superintendent, said the board negotiated simultaneously with all three CUPE groups for three days this week before reaching agree- ments, describing it as "quite a marathon. "I think it was certainly a long process that delved into a lot of is- sues that were important to both the union and the board." Ms. McIlveen said the agreement would come before the board of trustees for ratification May 20, the same night the OSSTF deal is to be finalized. She and Betty Sommers, a CUPE national representative, would not comment on specifics of the deal until it is ratified. "Both sides put their heads togeth- er and wanted to get a collective agreement so the children wouldn't be affected," said Ms. Sommers. She described the agreement as "a very good deal" and said the union bargaining team would recommend that members accept it in ratification votes Tuesday and Wednesday. CUPE local 218 had set a May 8 strike date and appeared headed for a walkout. "It just sort of did turn around," said Ms. Sommers. "It wasn't looking good up until, say, Tuesday night." Durham's OSSTF members are ex- pected to ratify their two-year tenta- tive agreement with the board at in- school votes today. Members held a mass meeting Wednesday night where they could ask the executive questions about the deal, and Durham OSSTF president Peter Tumey said the response has been favourable. "The message we're getting back is a very positive response," he said. "I think most of the teachers we've heard from appear satisfied." Ms. McIlveen said reaching a tenta- tive deal with OSSTF seemed to help in the CUPE talks, adding it didn't guarantee a settlement. "It just seemed to start a momen- tum, but I also think each group has issues that are important to them and were not going away," she said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 9, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P pickeringtowncentre.com great gifts for MomTwo one fantastic Mom Roshan, daughter Sarah & baby-to-be Alexander from Whitby Starts Thursday, May 1st, 2003 and runs until Sunday, May 11th, 2003, while quantities last, corporate orders excluded.

Sorry, no serrated knives, cleavers or sheers. Available at Speed is the "number-one concern" of residents living in the area of Rawlings, Heathside, Walnut, and Longbow, said Coun. McLean, as he introduced his motion. "It's 50 km/h on those particular streets and that is way too fast," he added. "Standing on the road talking to residents, I can tell you I observed people travelling more than 50. Some were doing 70 in some areas." Coun. McLean, a former Toronto police officer, has also called for the Province to allow municipalities the opportunity to use photo radar on residential streets. With the help of that technology, the new 40-km/h limit should slow down motorists in those particular areas, he said. Speeding on residential streets is an "epidemic problem" across the City, added Coun. Holland. "I get two or three requests a day for speed humps across the City," he said, calling that prospect "impracti- cal" for emergency services. "Forty kilometres is not the answer to all problems but it's a step." Most of the Bay Ridges communi- ty is posted at 40 km/h. It works "very effectively", said Coun. Holland. Asked if Durham Regional Police is aware of safety concerns in resi- dential areas of Pickering, chief ad- ministrative officer Tom Quinn said he meets regularly with the inspector of 19 Division to point out "hot spots". But the department only has so many resources. Cars have to be pulled away from major arteries like Brock and Taunton roads to patrol neighbourhoods, he pointed out. Ryan wants city motorists to slow down Enjoy choir’s mountain highs Join the discussion atdurhamregion.comDDAAVVEE RRYYAANN Brought forward the discussion three years ago. ✦ Ryan from page 1 P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 9, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Great start to speeding problem But it’s only first step in bringing issue under control Things could be slowing right down in Pickering - and just in time. Amidst ongoing calls at council for crack- downs on speeders in trouble spots and the very real concerns for the safety of our children, the City of Pickering is looking at reducing the speed limit on all residential streets to 40 km/h. Arterial roads wouldn't be affected by the change. The move stems from a decision by council this week to enact the lower limit on four streets, Rawlings Drive, Heath- side Crescent, Walnut Lane and Longbow Drive. As the OK was being given on that request, Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan broached the idea of extending it across the city. Councillors will leave it in the hands of Pickering traffic de- partment staff to further examine the idea, and to prepare maps of all City streets with this goal in mind. The idea certainly serves as a proactive approach to begin- ning to address a historic problem that plagues not only Pick- ering, but also just about every community across Ontario, and Canada for that matter. But we say just the beginning be- cause it would certainly only be one step in the process. Without the proper enforcement and support tools in place, the limit could be reduced to 10 km/h and Pickering residents wouldn't see any changes. The changes have to include a continued working relation- ship with Durham police to identify 'hot spots', and as an ex- tension, through the soon-to-be launched Road Watch pro- gram that relies on residents to report to officers the bad dri- ving habits of motorists. It also involves lobbying for tougher penalties, in the form of demerit points and fines, for those who drive excessively over the speed limit and with little regard for those around them. And finally, it calls for the Province to step forward and make available technology that will help municipalities get the problem under control. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean, to no avail to this point, has called on the provincial government to allow for the use of photo radar on residential streets. There's no better time than the present to lobby the Province hard for the tools needed to combat this problem. With an election just around the corner, Pickering councillors must demand that all parties lay out what tools and supports will be made available to municipalities wanting to tackle the issue. Too much is at stake and too many people are at risk to gloss over the issue. A reduced speed limit is a great start, but now it's time to follow through and drive home a great finish. Province stands behind preserve deal TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Time for preserve talk is now,' April 25. Your editorial leads off by asking the wrong question. I believe the question you should be asking is why is Pickering trying to undo a deal it signed? The deal was and is intended to protect the Duffins-Rouge Agricultural Preserve land. Maintaining the agricultural preserve is a commitment the Province made and one it intends to keep. We think as a sig- natory to that agreement, Pickering should do the same. The 1999 memorandum of understand- ing (MOU) signed by Pickering, Durham Region and the Province clearly protects these lands in perpetuity. The establish- ment of the minister's zoning order is consistent with the position that I, and the government, have taken since 1999. The City's current growth management strategy that contemplates development on this land is contrary to the spirit and the actual words of the MOU. The Province, on behalf of the taxpay- ers of Ontario, sold the land, protected by easements, pursuant to the provisions of the MOU, for agricultural purposes. A deal is a deal. The need for Pickering to grow is clear and the Seaton lands have been desig- nated for such purposes for some time. We have here a unique opportunity to plan a community using smart growth principles that will be a blueprint for communities across Ontario and the world. My colleague David Young, the minister of municipal affairs and hous- ing, has written to Pickering and the Re- gion indicating that through a strong and effective partnership, we can suc- ceed in this endeavour. As we work toward this objective, I be- lieve the onus should be on Pickering to answer why it wants to break a deal, in- stead of questioning why the Province is acting to uphold it.

Societal compassion would go a long way Ihave to admit I too fell victim to the buzz surrounding one of America's newest iconoclasts, Dr. Phil, telling it like it is. The episode I happened to tune in for was about obesity. On the panel were two hyper obese women who had tried for years to lose weight, yo-yoing over 200 pounds as they tried 'fad' diet after diet. The conversation drifted be- tween two poles of thought. The first was to treat the individuals like they were in a prison of their own creation, that the fault for their condition was entirely their own because of negligent eating habits. The second was to treat people who are overweight like they have a physical disability and to coddle them in a sickening, sac- charine sweet parody of under- standing. As I watched the episode I began to realize how intolerant a society we are. There were plenty of self- righteous 'thin' people proudly will- ing to share their feelings of dis- gust and loathing with regards to the overweight, but what was vir- tually missing from the discussion was any acceptance or compas- sion. The overweight are supposed to shrug off the unrelenting judg- ments and dehumanizing jokes that follow them wherever they go, and still muster the positive ener- gy to watch what they eat, follow a regular exercise regimen and con- tinue with their daily routines. It goes without saying all of this is supposed to be done with only a minimum of support. Somehow it is their due (be- cause of their weight) to suffer under this yoke of ridicule for the entirety of their lives. It's ludicrous how in our society only the margin- alized are accountable for their ac- tions or attitudes. Those of us who occupy the middle ground are pro- tected by a blanket of normalcy, sadly maintaining the status quo. It's so easy for people to sit in judgment, rather than mind their own affairs and work on improving themselves; to look upon others with understanding and compas- sion. Cultivating an attitude like this takes years of steadfast disci- pline, rooting out the pettiness that lurks in the recesses of all our hearts. Yet if we took all this undiluted 'ugliness' and worked on turning it inwards towards self-betterment, rather than reflecting it onto oth- ers we would become better for the effort. Instead of looking upon the overweight with intolerance we might extend them a helping hand and begin to view others by the quality of their character and not by their physical makeup. It's long past time, don't you think? Tim Logan is a 30-year-old writer who lives in Solina. In his spare time he is an avid mountaineer.

DURHAM REGIONAL SPELLING BEE 2003 Durham Bee Winners www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 9, 2003 PAGE 11 A/P BByy AAlliissoonn BBeellll Special to the News Advertiser PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Katy Howlett aspires to "rule the world". With the young Durham Regional Spelling Bee participant's attitude and energy level, the dream is not too far off. The eight-year-old learns quickly, said her mother Mavis, considering the amount of time she spends sitting still. "She's like a sponge," she said. "She absorbs every- thing." Ms. Howlett noticed Katy's potential the first time she tried to teach her. She and her husband, Tony, adopted Katy in Russia when she was three. "I started teaching her the alphabet on the plane over," said Ms. Howlett. "Her first English word was 'book'." When she first arrived in Canada, Katy was lan- g uage delayed. She was placed in speech therapy after waiting for a year. While waiting for the help, Ms. Howlett, a certified teacher, worked with Katy to develop her language skills. The hard work paid off, and by age five, she was reading at an age seven or eight level. Now eight, Katy attends a Montessori school in Ajax, where she continues to read at an advanced level. The school offers more challenging work, said Ms. Howlett, and also allows Katy to excel at math. The Howletts, who moved to Pickering 30 years ago, are originally from England. Their accents are prevalent in some of Katy's words, and even played a part in Katy's participation in the spelling bee. The Honey Bee was eliminated in Round 3, after mis- spelling the word 'half'. She recognized the word in her parent's accent, and in turn spelled the word, 'haff'. But despite not winning a trophy, Katy learned how to spell the more than 150 new words on her spelling list. To entertain the active young girl while preparing for the bee, Ms. Howlett made bingo and matching games. She also grouped the words and arranged them alphabetically. The spelling bee was not only a test of accurate spelling, noted Ms. Howlett. "It was about standing up there and doing it," she said.

Any resident who requires extra containers can purchase blue boxes from the works department or can use an alternative box. The Region rec- ommends using one container for paper collection, one for con- tainers and separately bundling boxboard and cardboard with string. In addition to the blue box ex- pansion, council approved the intent to provide green bin curbside organic waste pickup in Pickering as soon as possible, contingent on successful negoti- ations between Pickering, Miller Waste Systems (the City's garbage collection contractor and the material composter) and the Region. Once the green bin program begins, Pickering residents can join their counterparts in Clar- ington, Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock in throwing all kitchen scraps, including dairy and meat, into biodegradeable liner bags, which are then tossed into a green bin and collected as part of the regular garbage day. Residents will be provided with both a small bin for use in the kitchen and a larger 46-litre bin for the weekly curbside pickup. Composting of materials for the four municipalities current- ly is done at a Miller Waste Sys- tems composting site near Rich- mond Hill and the company said it can find an interim com- posting facility for the Pickering organics. However, an alternative facili- ty must be found, or built, be- fore the rest of Durham will be able to join the organic collec- tion program. There are no other composting facilities available within the GTA region at this time. The Region is in- vestigating a deal with Miller Waste, which has approvals to build an indoor compost facility on Squires Beach Road in Pick- ering. The Region is still reviewing its options as to where to take brush, leaf and yard waste after it stopped sending the outdoor organics to a Thornton Road site due to concerns with oper- ating conditions there.

Billboard MAY 9, 2003 Despite cap on teacher supervisory time, no 'concerns' for parents BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A 60-minute weekly cap on teacher supervisory time does not present a safety danger to students in school play- grounds, says Rachel Gencey. "I have no concerns at all," said the Durham unit president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario. "I don't think any parents should have any concerns either." L ast week, as part of the work-to-rule action in local schools, teachers began limiting supervisory time to one hour per week. Ms. Gencey said be- fore taking the step, workplace stewards from every public ele- mentary school met with the union leaders. "We went over every schedule and made sure there was ade- quate supervision for every schoolyard," she said. "We have said all along... that our num- ber-one priority in this is the safety of students." In half of the schools, she said no schedule changes were nec- essary since the teachers per- form an hour of supervisory duty or less per week. In other cases, Ms. Gencey said kindergarten teachers were doing far too much supervision and adjustments were made to schedules because more teach- ers than is necessary were on yard duty. "Each principal is reminding teachers of their responsibility to follow the supervision sched- ule as it has been assigned by the principal," said Sally McIl- veen, the Durham District School Board's employee rela- tions' superintendent. "It's cer- tainly something that has stretched the resources of the administrators." She is not aware of any school playgrounds that are off-limits to students because there's not enough supervision to ensure the safety of students.

The Zoning Order came into effect on the day that it was filed.

"When we get into bud- get and we start to hear about program cuts and program adjustments, people need to under- stand there's a reason for that," the Brock-Uxbridge trustee said at Monday's Durham District School Board meeting. Citing an Ontario Pub- lic School Boards' Associ- ation report on the agen- da, she suggested the board could still face a tough budget process be- cause the Province hasn't yet followed a crucial rec- ommendation in Mo rdechai Rozanski's ed- ucation funding review -- updating school boards' cost benchmarks. In December, Mr. Rozanski recommended the Province invest $2.1 billion in the education system over three years, including $340 million to negotiate collective agree- ments this year. The Province responded to that recommendation and more, with $1.1 billion in additional funding, in- cluding a second $340 mil- lion for salaries for the coming school year. Mr. Rozanski estimated it would cost $1.1 billion to update the benchmarks, which affect the amount of money boards receive to cover costs in virtually every area, through to this summer. Ed Hodgins, the board's business superintendent, noted most of the money announced post-Rozanski has been for salaries and new programs "and does nothing to address the shortfall that occurred be- tween 1998 and 2002. "From that perspective, very little of the an- nouncements to date have been for benchmark ad- justments to catch us up," he said at the meeting. As a result, boards face the prospect of falling fur- ther behind in coming budget years, said Mr. Hodgins. He stressed the board appreciates the additional funding the government has put into education and understands the Province is in the process of prioritizing the Rozans- ki recommendations. But the board is facing cost pressures this budget year in areas such as school operations, salaries, utilities and in the maintenance of schools. "The capital funding model hasn't been updat- ed since it was introduced in 1998," he said. In the 2003 budget, Fi- nance Minister Janet Ecker said the govern- ment would continue to invest in education and implement the Rozanski recommendations. By the 2005/06 school year, she said multi-year base fund- ing for school boards will have risen by about $2 bil- lion more than what was provided in the 2002 bud- get. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 9, 2003 PAGE 17 A/P New Store Hours: Mon. - Wed. 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Thurs. & Fri. 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., Sat 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sun. 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. 900 Champlain Ave., Oshaw a 1-800-642-4561 or (905) 723-5211 Right now during the lowest prices of the year event you’ll get, well, the lowest prices of the year .

Region offers assistance BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––With rumours in the air a provincial elec- tion could be close at hand, the Children's Aid Society (CAS) of Durham Region is calling for an all-candi- dates' debate on child wel- fare. Following a soon-to-be- released study conducted in conjunction with 25 ser- vice agencies in Durham Region, the CAS discov- ered there are some major issues emerging for Durham's children's ser- vices, says James Dubray, CAS executive director. "With the population growth expected over the next 10 years and looking at existing services we began to see major defi- ciencies occurring as peo- ple will be moving into Durham Region," he says. "The supports would not be there" for vulnerable families, he adds. "Durham is stalled in terms of family social safety nets." During the last provin- cial election the Region hosted the forum but this time around, regional councillors raised concerns about calling an all-candi- dates' debate on the issue of child welfare when there are so many other topics that should be voiced with the provincial government. "You can't just cherry- pick one issue," said Clar- ington Mayor John Mutton at a recent regional council meeting. "There are a lot of issues really," he added, listing hospitals, university funding and Hwy. 401 inter- changes among others. "You'd probably have a hard time getting all the candidates if it is just for one issue," he added. Pickering Councillor Mark Holland agreed, not- ing it was important for re- gional council to ensure all the concerns of local gov- ernment are heard by the candidates. However, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond said there are so many issues relevant to child welfare including housing, nutrition, literacy, the cost of providing ser- vices and "the list goes on. It's more than enough for one forum," Mayor Dia- mond said. Ultimately council deter- mined the Region would facilitate the debate but allow the CAS to host it. A debate date has not been set.

The daughter of a retired firef ighter, she grew up help- ing her father demonstrate to others the importance of fire safety. Tomorrow (Saturday), the Pickering resident spearheads 'In the spirit of the communi- ty ', an event geared toward raising awareness on every subject from installing smoke detectors to warding off West Nile virus. It takes place on the Es- planade North from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A mother of two boys under the age of five, Ms. Francis- Cleary wanted to prevent fu- ture tragedies like the Orchard Valley Court townhouse com- plex fire in January and to reach out to Jeannie Maillet, who lost her two young daugh- ters in the blaze. "My in-laws have a restau- rant in the plaza just next door (to the townhomes)," she explained. "I remember being there, watching the broadcast of the fire and someone saying, 'Those are the houses just over there'." Ms. Maillet, 30, managed to escape the fire by jumping out a third-floor window with her 11-year-old daughter Shiann. Her nine-year-old son Jesse was staying overnight at an- other unit. He tried to enter the house to save his sisters Kiara Charles, two, and five- year-old Briann, but was turned back by the flames. Fire officials ruled careless smoking as the cause. The early-morning blaze displaced eight families, in- cluding the Maillets. Most of those families have since re- turned to their homes, but the Maillet unit and the homes on either side continue to be under construction. Jesse and Shiann are stay- ing with their grandmother in Markham, while their mother is in St. John's Rehabilitation Community spirit shines Saturday Hospital in Toronto still recovering from injuries suffered in the fall. She is expected to be discharged in two weeks, said Ms. Francis-Cleary. "It's more of an emotional challenge for her, than physical, I would think at this point," she added. Ms. Maillet will be presented a crystal at tomorrow's event with the words 'In the spirit of the community' etched into it, along with the names of the two lost sisters and their birth- dates. There will also be a collection of toys and clothing (women's size 10 and boys' size 18) for Jesse and Shi- ann. Monetary donations for the fam- ily will also be accepted at the event and through the Jeannie Maillet Fund (transit no. 2982-1008689) at the Royal Bank. The Esplanade North will be closed to traffic to allow for its tents, which will feature fire, police and emergency personnel offering safety tip seminars. "We'll have experts talking about West Nile virus and what the local person can do in their own backyard to help prevent it," she said. "A mar- tial arts studio will demonstrate self- defence techniques and the City's recreation department will be pro- moting pre-teen workouts." Other activities include a basket- ball drill and training session for chil- dren offered by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, a jumping castle, and several draws and giveaways.

One of our main priorities is on improving the station’s resistance to earthquakes. We began by hiring independent third-party experts to make a seismic assessment of the site. The results indicated that Pickering A is capable of withstanding earthquakes up to a magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter scale. An earthquake of that magnitude has never been recorded in the Pickering area. We looked at what was necessary to enable a safe shutdown of Pickering A in the unlikely event of an earthquake – and we have incorporated all 24 upgrades recommended in the seismic assessment.

His eldest son, Rick Nakib-Arbaji, said his fa- ther often stopped for candy for his two youngest kids, Jordan, three-and-a- half, and Adam, two next month, before returning home from work. "I've opened up an ac- count for the boys, for their future," Mr. Nakib-Arbaji said. Mr. Nakib-Arbaji, re- membered as a loving fa- ther and hard worker, was the sole provider for his family. He was a driver for a To ronto taxi company. After the death of his first wife seven years ago -- they had three children togeth- er -- he married Aveer and had two more children. Donations to the fund can be made at the CIBC branch in the Westney Heights Plaza at 15 West- ney Rd. N. (at Kingston Road), or at any CIBC branch.

'I'll be back on top again' Woman vows to rebuild her life following fire BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Brigitte Lacourciere is steadily bouncing back from hitting bottom last week. "You should see me in about a year. I'll be back on top again," she said, her voice a little shaky. In her green sedan there sits a photo propped up on the back seat. It's of a young skier in mid-jump. Ms. Lacourciere once cut it out of a news- paper as a reminder of happier times. "That was me," she said. "I used to be able to do that." Today, the tan-coloured coat she wears, with the blackened edges, is the only piece of clothing the single mother managed to salvage from a fire last week. It completely con- sumed her family's home on the 4th Concession. Ms. Lacourciere credits a fire es- cape plan worked out with her two teenaged daughters years ago with saving their lives. Alexandra, 16, made it out by climbing out a third- storey window and down the televi- sion antenna. Danielle, 14, and her mother made it out the door. "On a cleaning binge" that night, Ms. Lacourciere said she was dusting a mirror in her bedroom when she bumped an overhead light fixture ac- cidentally. The next thing she knew the entire bedroom was going up in flames and she was running for an outdoor hose. Pickering Fire Services have ruled the blaze was started acci- dentally. "I tried to douse the flames but they overtook everything," Ms. La- courciere said. She managed to escape with her wallet and push her car away from the fire, although the keys were lost in the blaze. Pickering Fire Services ar- rived soon after to find the home fully engulfed. The last week has been spent try- ing to find clothing and shelter for her family and among other things, get new keys to start her car. Her med- ication for fibromyalgia also burned up in the blaze and two days after the fire, she came down with food poison- ing. "A lot of people have been reaching out to us," she said. The girls' schools have pitched in with fund-raisers and collections, while friends have provided clothing. Durham Regional Police Constable Leon Sowa pitched in by picking up new prescriptions, and neighbours Rob and Sylvia Holloway helped the family find temporary housing in To r onto for two weeks. "Then I have to make some deci- sions," added Ms. Lacourciere. "I ei- ther set up a trailer on my property, continue to live where I am, or find a less expensive place." Rebuilding the home, which dated back to 1860, could take up to a year, said Ms. Lacourciere, who has owned it since 1983. "I'm still in shock," she said. "It's everything I loved." This coat is the only piece of clothing Brigitte Lacourciere managed to pull from a fire that destroyed her home last week. Still, the woman vows she and her daugh- ters will rebuild their lives.

Annual event delivers strong message to 5,900 Grade 5 students BByy AAlliissoonn BBeellll Special to the News Advertiser DDUURRHHAAMM ––––More than 5,900 Grade 5 students are racing this week to learn the benefits of a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. From May 5 to 9, stu- dents from 121 schools in the Durham District School Board and Durham Catholic District School Board are visiting Iroquois Park in Whitby to race slot cars and learn about the dangers of alcohol and drugs. Throughout the race, students rotate through 30 stops, learning a lesson at each one. "Each pit stop is educa- tional," said Linda Lowery, substance abuse/commu- nity liaison for the Durham District School Board. Several stops in particu- lar are a big hit each year. Fatal vision goggles show first-hand the effects of al- cohol on driving. This stop's message is very clear because it is interactive, said Ms. Lowery, adding police officers operating the stop really drive home the message. The stops, which are spread over two of the arena's rinks, show the im- portance of having drug- free fun, she said. The event has been held yearly in Durham since 1998 by Racing Against Drugs, a drug and alcohol awareness program devel- oped by the RCMP. In ad- dition to being fun, auto racing is a sport with no tolerance for substance abuse, which makes it an ideal teacher. It also demonstrates a commit- ment to personal safety, said Ms. Lowery. Local businesses, indus- try, police services, com- munity agencies and indi- viduals combine to provide sponsors, volunteers and organizing committee members. New to the program this year are the Girl Guides, Durhamway Bus Lines and the Fetal Alcohol Task Fo rce, which have each set up a pit stop. Sessions run each day from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., and noon to 2 p.m. Race is on to keep kids drug-free Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Tyler Calderone learned the dangers of alcohol first-hand this week, thanks to these goggles that simulate impairment. The Duffin’s Bay Public School student and classmates joined thou- sands of other Grade 5 students for a number of interactive messages on drugs and alcohol. Meeting needs year-round United Way has wide mandate of services BByy AAlliissoonn BBeellll Special to the News Advertiser AAJJAAXX ---- As community needs come and go, the United Way of Ajax-Pick- ering-Uxbridge is constantly working to meet new demands. As such, the organization is contin- uing to broaden its reach in the com- munity and is more than just an or- ganization that runs a large fund- raising campaign each fall. "People think we have 22 agencies and that's all the funding we provide," said Edna Klazek, executive director for the United Way of Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge. "We want to form new rela- tionships." During the recent severe acute res- piratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, the Ajax-based organization dipped into its emergency reserves to help Ontario Volunteer Emergency Re- sponse Team Inc. (OVERT) with its delivery of food packages to quaran- tined individuals. Since many OVERT volunteers take time away from their paying jobs to work for the organization, the United Way provid- ed a $2,000 grant to cover volunteers' expenses such as gas and food. In addition to providing emergency funding, the organization also offers other services. The Bell United Wave is a grant delivered to high school students who form a team that bene- fits the community, said Ms. Klazek. They are given out twice yearly, in March and November, with the maxi- mum benefit being $1,000. They are completely funded by Bell, with ser- vices provided by the United Way. Re- cipients are decided by a grant review team, made up of students trained in decision making by the United Way. In March, three local high school teams received funding: Dunbarton High School Leadership Camp 2003 received $500, Pickering High School Leadership Camp 2003 received $1 ,000, and Unique, United and Uni- versal, which celebrates cultures, re- ceived $400. "It's nice to be able to support great work by talented young people," said Ms. Klazek. For information on the grant or the United Way of Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge, call 905-686-0606.

As the weather warms our garden visions will be constantly changing as spring bursts forth a parade of colour and fragrance to delight and enchant us once again. We longed for these days of warm sunshine, of fresh springtime breezes, of birds chirping their melodies, a new gardening season. With all the wonder and magic of spring our spirits are revived and restored as we are able to once more dream and envision our own garden visions. Visions of neatly manicured front gardens, visions of overflowing planters of colourful annuals, visions of an ever- changing flowering shrub and perennial garden. Or perhaps the vision is one of a beautiful rose garden or the whimsical dance of ornamental grasses or the majesty of a tree. Now is the time to turn all of our garden visions into reality- to enjoy the spring days, to visit the local nurseries and greenhouses, to roll up our sleeves and finally get our hands into the soil and plant, plant, plant. While we dream of our gardens at this time of year we take time this weekend to honour our mothers, grandmothers and “special” woman in our lives. Celebrating Mother’s Day in May also gives us an opportunity to surprise these special women with a new addition to their garden, a lasting token of love and appreciation. Perplexed on what to give that will endear you even more, the following are excellent suggestions: 1. A flowering standard for either the front yard or an area close to a deck or patio where both the blooms and fragrance can be enjoyed. Choices would include: ‘Dwarf Korean’ ‘Lilac,’ ‘Fragrant Vi burnum or Flowering Almond. 2. A rose bush such as ‘Smooth Angel’ or ‘Smooth Lady’ which not only has beautiful blooms but it is also thorn less. ‘David Austin’ varieties provide old-fashioned blooms with delightful fragrance. 3. For smaller balconies or patios an indoor flowering hibiscus is an easy to care for choice and can be enjoyed outside until the fall and then brought indoors. 4. A tree that will provide four-season interest such as Pagoda Dogwood, Chinese Dogwood or Serviceberry is an excellent addition for any garden size or style. 5. For the fully planted garden a unique garden ornament or accent piece such as a cement bench or free standing fountain is an excellent choice.

The crew finished fourth among 12 teams in fund-raising for the Lung Association, gathered $1,200. Tr ail opening the first step of many AAJJAAXX ––––One step at a time, a new trail system is taking shape in Ajax and Durham Region. A two-kilometre trail starting at the northwest corner of Kingston Road and Elizabeth Street, on the edge of Pickering Vil- lage, was officially opened April 26. Although the trail is rel- atively short, it is consid- ered the first step in cre- ating a trail system that crosses numerous munic- ipal boundaries. "In a few years when more work is completed, it will be clear that this portion is a keystone of the Duffins Watershed Trail System," stated Jim McMaster, Ajax regional councillor and the vice chairman of the Toronto and Region Conserva- tion, in a press release. "Within the next year or two, this stretch will allow hikers and walkers to head down to the lake and the waterfront trail, head west to the Seaton trail in Pickering, and eventually, head north to the Oak Ridges Moraine trail." The official opening of the trail included an hour-long guided tour by To ronto and Region Con- servation experts. The opening gala kicked off the beginning of Environmental Affairs Week. Litter cleanups along the trail and creek areas, as well as at Paulynn Park and the Greenwood Conservation Area, were organized by local anglers from the Ajax Rod and Gun Club.

Restaurants are encouraged to have a variety of healthy food choices on the menu and avail- able on request from customers and provide more non-smoking seating than is required by mu- nicipal bylaw. "The Eat Smart! program of- fers recognition to Ontario restaurants that meet exception- al standards in nutrition, food safety and non-smoking seating," said Greg Annis, senior public health inspector with Durham Region. In Durham, 44 restaurants won Eat Smart! awards. The munici- pality that was most recognized was Whitby with 13 awards. "We're very pleased with the success of the program and en- courage our residents to look for the Eat Smart! symbol whenever they dine in Durham Region," said Mr. Annis.

But her silence seemed to only infuriate him more. Then he began brutalizing their young daughter. Sonja became suicidal. She was frightened and didn’t know who to turn to. Finally an acquaintance told her to contact The Salvation Army. Immediately they delivered Sonja and her children to a safe house. Financial support was provided and a long-term plan developed to make sure she would never have to experience that kind of horror again. Today Sonja believes that The Salvation Army gave her and her children their lives back. 26,370 other abused women and children aided last year in Canada believe it too. Please, give what you can afford to The Salvation Army. And Get Behind The Shield. Due to the current health concern within our communities, there is a possibility that a Salvation Army volunteer may not visit your neighbourhood this year.

Lacrosse club expects tough go in second game of season BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ----The Ajax-Pickering Rock gets its second stern test on the lacrosse floor in as many games with one of its more antic- ipated matchups of the Ontario Lacrosse Association Senior 'B' schedule. A week after losing its inaugur- al game to the two-time Presi- dents Cup champion Owen Sound Woodsmen 10-6 at the Pickering Recreation Complex last Saturday, the Rock faces an- other of the league's elite teams in the Brooklin Merchants. Saturday's game in Brooklin is highlighted on the Rock schedule as one with extra-special mean- ing. The teams met in a pre-sea- son game two weeks ago, with the Merchants pounding the Rock 12- 5 in a highly physical affair. At that time, the Merchants roster was essentially set for the season, while the Rock was using the game to make their final cuts. And, although they've never met in a meaningful game of lacrosse before, the Rock and the Merchants already have plenty of history. For one, Paul St. John, the Rock's general manager and co-owner, is a former player with Brooklin. Also, Rock tough guy Kevin Taylor is a former member of the Merchants, traded to the Rock prior to the start of the sea- son in a cash deal. As Rock head coach Keith Beg- ley sees it, the team the Mer- chants dismantled a scant two weeks ago won't be the same one that shows up at the Luther Vipond Arena Saturday. "We're a totally different team and it should be a tough game. It would be nice to get a win there. Paul would love it," he said. "We had a good practice this week and we should come out strong. Beat- ing Brooklin would be a huge lift for our team. We want to send a message to them. Being so close to each other, the rivalry should be a natural one." With the Rock playing back-to- back games -- there's a home date Sunday against the Arthur Aces at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex at 2 p.m. -- the locals are hop- ing to at least earn a weekend split. "Two points is possible; four points this weekend would be nice," said Begley. After an uneven and undisci- plined effort in the opener against Owen Sound, Begley is hoping for a better overall performance. "I think it was just inexperi- ence. We got 81 minutes in penal- ties and the game is only 60 min- utes. They scored seven power- play goals. If we eliminate that, it's a different outcome. It was our first game and staying that close to Owen Sound was good. They worked hard to do that," said Be- gley. As in the Owen Sound game, the Rock will need more solid work from goaltender Mike Miron to have success on the weekend. The pro goaltender who played with the Columbus Landsharks of the National Lacrosse League this season was Ajax-Pickering's best player on the floor, facing a staggering 85 shots. "Without him, it could have been a lot different result. We could have got blown away," said Begley. Begley added Miron is almost like having a coach on the floor as he watches the play with a critical eye, passing along information to the coaching staff between periods. "He watches the game and has a good perspective of what's going on in front of him. It's a godsend having Mike there," said Begley. With only one game under his belt as the Rock coach, Begley is surprised with the overall talent at his disposal. While he was ex- pecting to see good things from Miron, Eddie Fines, Brandon Leforme and Brad Cann, he's been delighted with the play of several other players. He pointed to Jamie Lumsden, Bill McClean and Rob Milnes who played above expectations in the first game. "They're all nice surprises at this point. A few others, I think, are waiting to break out," said Be- gley. NNOOTTEESS:: Only one player is out of the lineup due to injury so far in the season. AAnnddrreeww HHiillll suffered an ankle injury at training camp and isn't expected to dress for ac- tion on the weekend. "We decided to get it corrected instead of play- ing with it all year," said BBeegglleeyy.

City gymnast among the elite at provincials Lauren Hargraves off to nationals after second-place showing PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----A city athlete earned her way into the Elite of Ontario's gymnasts with a solid showing at the provin- cial championships in Mis- sissauga recently. L auren Hargraves, 12, a member of the Winstonettes Gymnastic Association, placed second all-around at the Elite Ontario meet at Gymnastics Mississauga. Competing in the national high-performance novice stream, she was second on vault (8.7), seventh on un- even parallel bars (7.9), sec- ond on balance beam (9.535) and first on floor exercise (9.525). Her effort at Elite Ontario placed her on the Ontario team, which is off to Saska- toon to compete at the Cana- dian National Gymnastics Championships May 17 to 25. Her coach at the Win- stonettes, July Gerschcovich, was pleased to see her quali- fy for nationals. "She deserved this oppor- tunity. She has worked very hard," said Gerschcovich. Hargraves competed in the Tour Select meet last No- vember where she placed eighth all-round, including a second on floor and a fifth on vault. This qualified her to at- tend a national training camp hosted by Gemini Gymnastics in Oshawa last January. She'll be attending another training camp in Montreal next month. She also competed at the Elite Canada meet earlier this year where she qualified for high-performance status in gymnastics. Only the top 20 gymnasts in Canada are afforded this status each year. A Grade 7 student at St. Anthony Daniel Catholic School, Hargraves trains 29 hours per week at the Markham-based gymnastics club. LLAAUURREENN HHAARRGGRRAAVVEESS Second at Elite Ontario meet.

Starting in 1985 and every summer since, a familiar routine unfolds most Saturday nights for the Oshawa resi- dents: Driver Bill Northam, his wife Donna and daughters Sarah and Stacy make all the final preparations, pack up tires, gas, all manner of tools and various other racing parapherna- lia into trailers and, above all, the car, and head to the track. And, they wouldn't have it any other way. "Racing is our cottage," explains Nor tham, who's entering his 18th year on the track, mostly tearing up the as- phalt at Mosport International Speed- way in Clarington. "People say it's ex- pensive, but I look at it like this: If I had a Sea-Doo and a Ski-Doo, I would have as much invested in those as I do in a race car. I think I have more fun with my toy." "It gets in your blood," offers Sarah Nor tham-Gaylor, 26, who, since 1999, has joined her father behind the wheel. The father-and-daughter Northam team -- a rarity in the realm of car rac- ing -- is gearing up for another season when action reconvenes at the half- mile oval in mid-May. Nor tham, 52, will be behind the wheel of his #85 ('8' represented Sarah's age when he began racing in '85; '5' was daughter Stacy's age) yellow and black sportsman Challenger-se- ries car. Meanwhile, Northam-Gaylor will drive her #58 brown open-wheeled modified-class car, better known as a 'mod'. "This is a really exciting year for us," says Northam, who works alongside his daughter and wife at the family- owned automotive business in Picker- ing. "We had a good season with the Crate (GM) motor program and, at the end of the season, I thought I was faster than I was at the start of the season. I'm excited with Sarah's car; it's a good car with a good engine pro- g ram, too. And, we've got good finan- cial support from our sponsors." Father and daughter are at ease ru- minating about their exploits behind the wheel of racing machines that can reach 100-plus m.p.h. on the straight- aways. The Northams were strictly race fans back in 1985, watching local gearheads accelerate around the old Westgate quarter-mile oval. "Literally every Saturday night we went to the Westgate track in Peter- borough and watched the races," says Nor tham. "We knew some of the guys. I had always been a street racer with a '67 Camaro. I sold it and used the money to go racing. I didn't even know if I could do it." He brought a street-stock car in 1985 with the proceeds from the Ca- maro and eventually won the rookie of the year. He has been hooked on the local racing scene ever since. "To me, it's me and the car and 20 other guys and their cars. It's not a one-on-one thing. It's racing 20 to 30 laps and the psychology and strategy on the track. It's the thrill of racing 90 to 100 m.p.h. on straightaways. It's like on TV, but only we do it every Satur- day night. It's an absolute thrill and to achieve a win is awesome," he says. Northam came off a strong 2002 campaign in the Challenger class, fin- ishing fifth overall in the points stand- ings. But, most important, the car emerged relatively unscathed from the rigours of driving bumper to bumper. Thus, Northam's 350-horsepower en- g ine and chassis are in good shape en- tering the 2003 campaign. "It was really neat finishing a season without repairs. Sometimes you don't win the race, but you win the year by having the car come out intact," says Nor tham. That wasn't quite the case for Nor tham-Gaylor, whose 2002 season was marred by plenty of mechanical woes, including two blown motors. She finished 17th in the modified points standings. There is, however, plenty of room for optimism for Northam-Gaylor, one of a handful of women who do battle with the boys at Mosport Saturday nights. "My goal is to finish a race after last year when I didn't have a good year," says Northam-Gaylor, whose enthusi- asm for the sport comes through in spades. "Some people have gone 10 years without winning, but they just enjoy the racing." Although father and daughter have competed in different classes for most of their careers, they did race against each other in the modified class in Nor tham-Gaylor's first year. "That was fun," noted Northam- Gaylor. "He said if I ever passed him, he'd retire." Recalls Northam with a laugh: "She was banging on the back of me in one race and she actually tried to pass me." Aside from a tough season last sum- mer, Northam-Gaylor has steadily im- proved as a driver. She raced only two or three times her first year, but came back strongly in the modified class in 2000, despite an accident that wrote off her car only three weeks into the season. She later took over the driving chores of her dad's car and was named most improved driver that year. In 2001, her best campaign to date, she f inished just out of the top 10 in points while racing the modified class at Mo- sport and Peterborough. As for his daughter following him into the driver's seat of a race car, Northam is nothing if not proud. Al- though forbidden by his wife to en- courage it, he's glad she has taken to racing. "She's earned it. She had been hand- ing me wrenches for a long time. I had a deal with Donna that I wouldn't turn the girls into boys. Sarah had worked at the track as a lap counter and worked her way up to head scorer. For five or six years she worked in the tower at Mosport." Nor tham-Gaylor picks up the story: "A fter I finished college I decided that the only thing I hadn't done in racing was to race. So we said, 'let's take the old chassis (from a previous race car) and build a (modified) car'." Nor tham has absolutely no trepida- tion about having his daughter race, despite two fatalities at Mosport in the recent past -- one that occurred on the road course and another as a later consequence of a fire on the half-mile oval that severely burned one of the drivers. "I would never let her ride on a mo- torcycle, but I've never had a second thought about her getting in a race car," says Northam, who has suffered only two broken ribs in his 17 years. "You're more safe in that race car than driving on Hwy. 401," adds Northam-Gaylor. She notes drivers are relatively safe in the cars, through the use of hel- mets, three-layer fireproof safety suits and five-point seatbelt harnesses. Nor tham adds although some dri- vers aren't as safety conscious as oth- ers, mostly from the cost of some of the safety equipment, he's more than comfortable with the safety standards in place. "I don't have any problem with it." Racing is an expensive sport and Northam is grateful for a host of spon- sors who've helped him and his daugh- ter over the years. He has always treated the sport like a business, putting in a racing budget each year and sticking to it. "We have to make conscious deci- sions about what we can and can't do each year," he says. "We do the best we can." But, most of all, he's grateful for the ongoing support of his family. He em- phasizes without the participation of family, a racing career would be out of the question. "You had to race as a family," he says. "If I didn't, it wouldn't have been fair to my wife or it wouldn't have been fair to my kids. It wouldn't have been fair to anybody. I think racing helped keep the kids out of trouble because they were with us. "If you don't have your wife and fam- ily's support, you literally can't race. You can't do it without that support."

People around the world love their mother s For as long as there have been mothers, there have been children who have honoured them. As far back as ancient Greece, people celebrated Rhea, the goddess of all gods each spring. Later in the fifth century A.D., the Romans celebrated “Matralia” in honour of women and mothers throughout the month of June. Today in Canada, we celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. Originally created to thank mothers for everything they do for their families, the meaning behind this special day has remained unchanged over the years and gifts, flowers, cards, surprises and lots of affection are showered on mothers everywhere. But Canada isn’t the only country to honour its mothers. Throughout the world there are various traditions that celebrate the importance of these special women. In France, Napolean proposed the idea of officially celebrating Mother’s Day in the spring. But it was only later in 1906, that the first Mother’s Day was celebrated. By the 15th or 16th century in England, Mother’s Day was celebrated for the first time under the name “Mothering Day.” It gave mothers who worked as servants in the homes of wealthy families a chance to take the day off and spend it with their children. Later in 1872, Julia Ward Howe proposed the idea of creating Mother’s Day in the U.S. At the time, she organized annual celebrations in Boston. In 1907, another American by the name of Ana Jarvis took up this great idea and started a major campaign to have this day recognized as a national celebration. In May of 1914, the event finally became an official annual event. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY HAPPY MOTHERS DAY HAPPY MOTHERS DAY 85 Kingston Rd.
