Terrifying Tuesday
Pickering Nuclear Generating Station officials go on alert after U.S. terrorist attacks
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —In the
wake of a massive terrorist at-
tack in the U.S. Tuesday, On-
tario Power Generation (OPG)
invoked heightened security
measures at the Pickering Nu-
clear Generating Station.
Security measures were
taken at Durham's two nuclear
power plants in the wake of the
attacks. Security officials at
the gate into the facilities were
rigorously checking vehicles
entering the plant, searching
undercarriages and the cab and
trunk space of all cars and
trucks.
The attacks began in New
York City Tuesday morning, as
terrorists hijacked two airlin-
ers and crashed them into the
World Trade Center, reducing
the twin 110-storey towers to
piles of rubble containing, ac-
cording some estimates, multi-
ple thousands of dead. Ap-
proximately 35 minutes after
the initial crashes, another hi-
jacked plane slammed into the
Pentagon in Washington, col-
lapsing part of that building.
By the early part of Tues-
day afternoon Canadian offi-
cials had reportedly closed
down the border and all Cana-
dian airports.
Pat O'Brien, Ontario Power
Generation's manager of pub-
lic affairs, said the Pickering
and Darlington plants were
following normal procedure
by increasing security, some-
thing they would do in the case
of any terrorist situation of this
magnitude on North American
soil.
"This is the normal thing,"
he said. "We've taken security
to the next level at the site."
For security reasons Mr.
O'Brien refused to provide de-
tails about specific measures
that would be taken, except to
say additional staff would be
on hand while the plant was on
alert.
Mr. O'Brien said several
staff members are American
citizens or have family living
in the U.S. and many were
given time off to contact rela-
tives or friends who may have
been affected.
"Our sympathy is with the
families of those hurt or killed
in this terrible situation," said
Mr. O'Brien. "For their friends
and family this is a stressful
situation."
Three American citizens,
who did not wish to be identi-
fied, said they had contacted
family back home to make
sure everything was fine. The
trio have been working at the
plant over the last few months
as a part of the Pickering 'A'-
side reactors' restart process.
"This is not good," said one
of the men. "You can bet a re-
sponse from the U.S. will be
quick and severe."
All three of the men, devas-
tated by the attack on their
home country, said they antici-
pate difficulties crossing the
border to go back home.
"I feel locked in here," said
one. "We can't get home even
if we wanted to."
"I'm from New York and I
have family in Pittsburgh,"
added another of the three
men. "This is unbelievable."
Oshawa Airport was shut
down "as a precautionary mea-
sure" yesterday morning. That
move was consistent with the
closing of airports across the
United States and Canada.
The airport was closed at
10:20 a.m. by Nav Canada,
which administers air traffic
control at the municipally-
owned facility, said Ted Good-
child, Oshawa's development
services commissioner.
"We're accepting only or-
phan flights that have to land
there," he said.
Orphan flights are planes
that have to land due to low
fuel levels and could be ones
diverted from Pearson Interna-
tional Airport, which was also
closed.
By noon Tuesday, there had
been no such planes but Os-
hawa Airport was prepared for
any, Mr. Goodchild said.
Due to the limited runway
space at the airport, large com-
mercial planes cannot land in
Oshawa.
Elsewhere in Durham, mu-
nicipalities were on standby
with emergency preparedness
plans at the ready. The

Businesses cash in on slots plans
As Picov Downs considers revamped operation, owners say proximity to slot machines a boon
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX — “It’s the reason
I’m here.”
Five years ago, Ed Guthrie
opened Just Eddie’s Casual
Dining on Atherley Road in
Orillia, two months after Casi-
no Rama opened.
“Business is fine. I have no
complaints. The winter is too
long, but the summer is OK,”
Mr. Guthrie says.
Atherley Road is a main
route from Orillia to the road
leading to Rama. So, anyone
going to or from the casino
passes Just Eddie’s.
“The amount of road traffic
it’s created, they have to go by
my door to get to the casino,”
Mr. Guthrie says. “There are
spinoffs from local hotels, from
people staying overnight.”
Those hopes for these types
of spinoffs could soon hit Ajax
should Norm Picov get provin-
cial approval to install up to
800 slot machines at his quar-
ter-horse racing track. Ajax has
given its OK to a redevelop-
ment of the site, on Hwy. 2 east
of Pickering Beach Road, while
Durham Region is expected to
consider the request sometime
this fall.
Should he get Regional ap-
proval, Mr. Picov will then ap-
proach the Province about in-
stalling the machines.
Mr. Picov is planning a $31-
million redevelopment, which
includes a five-furlong racing
oval, a 96,000-square-foot
grandstand with seating for
600, a restaurant, bar, betting
theatre and slots. He wants the
project completed and opened
in 2003, around the time a new
Hwy. 401 interchange is
opened at Pickering Beach
Road.
Orillia is “all tourists.
There’s no industry to speak of.
There’s some small industry.
The biggest industry is the
tourist industry. The casino cer-
tainly creates a benefit,” Mr.
Guthrie says.
“You can’t get a room here
all summer long during the
weekends. The casino is a big
part of that,” he says. “I hope it
will be all year round.”
A 300-bed hotel and a
5,000-seat showroom are being
added to Rama, and Mr.
Guthrie views that as a benefit.
He noted it will create a des-
tination of more than a few
hours of fun, adding currently
“people go there and then go
home”.
Colin Shiver, the owner of
the Bayview Inn, also on Ather-
ley, also hopes the area be-
comes more of a year-round at-
traction.
“It’s the summer time, so it’s
hard to tell. There’s so much
going on in the community,” he
notes.
As for how the casino will
affect business during the win-
ter, he said, “I don’t know.
They’ve only started running
concerts.”
Mr. Guthrie points to Las
Vegas, noting people predicted
it would suffer when casinos
opened in other areas of the
U.S., such as Atlantic City.
Now, there are theme parks and
“the whole family goes to
Vegas. It’s a tourist area. I hope
Rama does something like
that.”
With concerts, he’s hoping
people will stop by for dinner
on the way to the casino.
“The hotel, I’m looking for-
ward to it. It’s 350 people stay-
ing here nightly as opposed to
going somewhere else,” he
says.
On a recent visit to Rama,
the casino was packed at mid-
day. Unlike the Picov plan,
Rama also has card games,
such as blackjack, roulette and
craps. There are also tables for
players of pai gow tiles. And
there are the hundreds of slot
machines, with names like ‘lit-
tle green men’and ‘Cleopatra’.
The installation of slot ma-
chines at horse racing tracks is
a fairly new innovation for On-
tario, having started in the past
decade. There are now 11 such
racetrack and slot facilities,
with another just south of Bar-
rie set to open soon.
The Barrie site, on Hwy.
400, includes a track for stan-
dardbred or harness racing.
Horse racing is the oldest
form of legalized gambling in
Canada, dating back to 1886.
The horse-racing sector is
the third largest agricultural in-
dustry in Ontario, with more
than 45,000 people working as

Jockeys and horses come down the stretch during racing action Sunday at Picov Downs.
Picov’s wants to revamp the race track and add up to 800 slot machines among other plans.

Give your input on transit
system, chairman urges
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —It’s not Big Brother
watching, really. But the government
does want to know where you go and
how you get there.
Durham Region residents will be
part of a transit survey involving
130,000 households from Hamilton to
Clarington that involves the joint ef-
forts of the provincial government, the
TTC, GO Transit and 15 municipal
governments, including Durham Re-
gion.
“What we’re trying to do is get as
much information as possible from the
municipalities involved,” said Durham
Chairman Roger Anderson. “We’re
trying to find ways to improve region-
al transit and local transit.”
The survey will be conducted by
telephone and focus on the trip infor-
mation of each household member, in-
cluding the origin, destination, time,
reason for travel and mode of trans-
portation. The survey will also seek in-
formation on the number of vehicles in
the household and where each family
works or attends school. All personal
information will be kept confidential
and will be used for statistical purpos-
es only. It is being conducted by the
University of Toronto.
“It’s important if residents get a call
to answer as many questions as they
can. We want the residents to give a re-
ally clear message to the minister on
things they’d like to see happen,” said
Mr. Anderson. “As we grow there will
be more and more burden on our roads.
There are ways of getting people in
and out faster. We’re constantly trying
to get CP and CN to get more tracks.”
Mr. Anderson pointed out there are
innovative ways of transporting people
that haven’t been explored in Ontario
yet.
“If you look around Europe or even
the United States, there are other ways
than cars such as light rail, electric rail,
trains, buses and all sorts of things we
should be looking at,” he said.
The survey began Sept. 5 and is the
second phase of the research. The first
took place in fall 2000 when 30,000
households were contacted. The results
are expected to be released early in
2002.

Is your new car making a racket?
You’re all excited about your new
car and you’ve been showing if off
to all your friends and relatives.
But you’re starting to get worried
because when you started the car
this morning, you could have
sworn you heard a strange noise.
Your first reaction might be to
drive straight to the dealer. But
you should read the following first.
Most new motors are generally
made of aluminum. This metal is
not like the old cast iron and its
“consistency” can vary according
to the temperature. for example,
an aluminum alloy piston (and
most pistons are) can take on an
oval shape when cold. Actually,
it’s not as dramatic as it sounds,
since it is unnoticeable to the
naked eye. But given today’s
modern technology and its
extremely small margin of error for
metals, such a variation in shape
can cause undesirable noises
under the hood.
If the noise stops fairly quickly
after the car’s engine has started
to heat up, there’s no need to
panic. However, you should still
follow the manufacturer’s
suggestions and keep the engine
oil at the recommended level. You
should also stick to oil with good
viscosity.
You also need to respect your
vehicle’s mechanical needs. When
starting your car in the morning,
give the motor a few minutes to
warm up. Then drive slowly and
gently until the metal has had a
chance to reach its ideal driving
temperature.

But after-school activities will
resume as details worked out
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —As required by the
Province, Durham’s public school board
will create an extracurricular activities plan
to guide schools.
But, Grant Yeo, education director of the
Durham District School Board, said coming
up with a plan will not hinder efforts al-
ready under way in schools, where activities
are poised to make a big comeback after a
three-year absence.
“At the present time activities are being
organized at the school level,” said Mr. Yeo.
“The development of this plan... does not
need to inhibit or delay activities that are
being planned at the school level.”
He said conveners are in place for all
high school sports, and “we have every ex-
pectation that things will return to normal.”
At Ajax High School, the school has
gone from a cheerleading squad and limited
participation in a track and field competi-
tion and soccer tournament last year, to a
whole different story this fall.
There’s girls’ basketball and field hock-
ey, boys’ soccer and volleyball, and cross
country, golf and tennis for both male and
female students.
A drama production and outdoors’ club
are also in the works, and principal Shirley
Smith said in an interview that school staff
is looking at starting other clubs as well.
“We’re really excited about the number
of different extracurricular activities that
are going to be running in the school,” she
said.
Board student trustee Brandon Reeve, an
Exeter High School pupil, at Monday’s
meeting said in the ninth grade
“I literally saw the spirit drain” at his
school.
“It’s been a really hard battle for us just
to maintain some level of spirit in the
school,” he said, noting he’s witnessed more
activities taking place the first week of
school than ever.
After three years of criticism and com-
plaints from parents and students, board
trustees were happy to have some goods
news about the issue.
“I’ve got a Grade 12 student at home
who’s never seen (extracurriculars in
school) so it’s been quite a good fall so far,”
noted Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper.
Answering a question from Uxbridge-
Brock Trustee Nancy Loraine, business su-
perintendent Ron Trbovich said the board
would monitor rural students’ access to ac-
tivities and ensure there is adequate trans-
portation for them.
Oshawa superintendent Sally McIllveen
has been given the job of heading a com-
mittee to develop the board’s plan.
In an interview, she said she would be
working closely with Rob Dyment, the
board’s health and physical education facil-
itator.
The extracurricular plan will not be fi-
nalized until it has gone the consultation
route involving school community councils,
teachers and other stakeholders.

Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Durham’s associate
medical officer of health is asking resi-
dents not to panic, in spite of the dis-
covery of a dead bird in Whitby be-
lieved to be carrying the West Nile
Virus.
“There’s really no cause for con-
cern,” says Dr. Donna Reynolds of
Durham Region’s health department.
“The risk of the West Nile Virus (to hu-
mans) is very low.”
The dead crow - the first in Durham
to show signs of the virus - turned up in
central Whitby Aug. 29, and was sent to
Guelph for testing. Sunday evening,
Sept. 9, the local health department re-
ceived notification that three prelimi-
nary tests were positive for the virus.
The bird was then sent to a federal lab
in Winnipeg for confirmation of the di-
agnosis. Test results are expected back
by Friday.
“To date, all the birds that have come
back with preliminary positives have
come back positive” after final testing,
notes Dr. Reynolds.
The mosquito-born virus was first
confirmed in Ontario when a bird found
in Windsor Aug. 22 tested positive. It
has since shown up in a variety of other
areas of the province.
“I think, as we look at the distribu-
tion of the West Nile virus... they’ve
seen it in Toronto, Peel and Halton. It
was just a matter of time before we saw
it in Durham,” says Dr. Reynolds. Still,
she says, more testing is necessary to
determine if the virus has actually made
its way to Durham, or if this is an iso-
lated case.
“We want to see if this is sporadic, or
will we see more cases in the Whitby
area,” she says. “We don’t know if the
bird (thought to have had the virus) flew
here to die.”
The health department is currently
working with the Ministry of Health
and Long-Term Care to set up a mos-
quito surveillance program to help
monitor the virus. Mosquito traps will
likely be set up in the area where the
suspected positive bird was found, says
Dr. Reynolds.
Mosquitoes transmit the virus after
feeding on the blood of birds which
carry the virus. Most people infected
with West Nile show no symptoms, or
mild flu-like symptoms. But, in rare
cases, the illness can cause meningitis
or encephalitis, and, in some cases,
death. Most at risk are the elderly, the
very young and those with suppressed
immune systems, says Health Canada.
According to Health Canada, the
first North American outbreak of the
virus occurred in and around New York
City about two years ago.
Though Dr. Reynolds says Durham
residents needn’t panic, she does advise
people to take some precautions, in-
cluding wearing long-sleeved shirts,
long pants, socks and shoes when out-
doors in the evening or early morning,
when mosquitoes are most active. As
well, mosquito repellent containing
DEET may be used, provided manufac-
turer’s instructions are followed. Such
repellents are not recommended for in-
fants under six months of age.
Residents are also being reminded to
take steps to reduce mosquito-breeding
sites around the home by removing
standing water; emptying and cleaning
bird baths weekly; chlorinating rain
barrels or covering them with mosquito
screening; disposing of water in yard
containers; checking that roof gutters
are clear and drain properly; cleaning
and chlorinating swimming pools and
outdoor hot tubs; draining water from
pool and chair covers; keeping grass,
shrubs or hedges trimmed regularly;
and making sure door and window
screens are tight-fitting and in good re-
pair.
The health department is asking peo-
ple to continue calling to report findings
of dead crows and blue jays. The de-
partment has fielded about 1,000 calls
since the local surveillance program
began in May, and “we’re assuming that
after finding this positive one, we’ll get
more calls as well,” says Dr. Reynolds.
To report findings of dead crows and
blue jays, call 905-723-8521, or 1-800-
841-2729, ext. 2188.

your bid for
Terry Fox
Auction items, donations
needed for annual event
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Organizers say
they are still looking for interesting
items to arouse excitement at the Pick-
ering Terry Fox Run’s silent auction
coming up this Sunday.
Local businesses and residents are
encouraged to donate items for the auc-
tion, which raised $1,200 from 22 items
last year. This year, run organizer San-
dra Armstrong said they already have
cellphones from Nokia and several dif-
ferent restaurant gift certificates on the
block.
Bids for auction items will be ac-
cepted at the run’s registration point, the
Pickering Recreation Centre at Valley
Farm Road and Hwy. 2.
Registration for the run itself will
begin at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 16 and
the winners of the auction will be an-
nounced at 12:30 p.m.
Ms. Armstrong said participants can
begin the 10-kilometre run any time be-
tween 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The route be-
gins at the recreation centre, goes up
Hwy. 2 to Dixie Road, and across Dixie
to Finch Avenue before looping around
and following the same route back to
the recreation centre. The start of the
run will be preceded by an opening cer-
emony featuring cancer-surviving
members of ‘Terry’s Team’.
Ms. Armstrong also sent out an invi-
tation for those wishing to remember
close relatives or friends lost to cancer.
She said they would once again be ask-
ing residents to sign a dedication poster
to be framed and hung in the recreation
centre after the run is complete.
With 288 runners taking part, last
year’s run raised just shy of $22,000 in
Pickering to directly fund cancer re-
search. Ms. Armstrong said she expects
a turnout of around 300 runners this
year and pledge sheets are still available
at a variety of shops, schools, commu-
nity centres and libraries around the
city.

United Way sets sights on $1.5 million
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX —Growing communi-
ties, with a variety of needs, means
the United Way of Ajax-Pickering
has set the bar higher for its annu-
al fund-raising campaign.
On Sunday, the organization
announced a goal of $1.5 million
for its 2001 campaign.
Executive director Edna Klazek
said the goal is up from last year’s
target of $1.35 million, which was
exceeded when $1.425 million
was raised in 2000.
The theme this year is the same
as last year — ‘people helping
people: without you there would
be no way’. The chairman for the
fund-raising campaign is Curtis
Weems, chief executive officer and
president of CDA Industries.
On Monday, Mr. Weems spoke
to Ajax council, saying the money
raised is “directed to where it’s
most needed. I’m confident we can
do this. We will be successful.
One-in-three citizens in Ajax is im-
pacted positively by services of the
United Way.”
The organization provides fi-
nancial support to 22 service agen-
cies, as well as seed money to get
specific projects started. Last year,
seed money totalling $24,000 was
given to various organizations.
Ms. Klazek said the area is
growing, with a changing demo-
graphic and “there’s a need for us
to develop initiatives” so services
are provided to all sectors of soci-
ety.
“The United Way must be
proactive and responsive to these
changing needs,” Mr. Weems told
councillors.
For more information on the
campaign, call 905-686-0606.
David Sherk gets his scooter ready for action during
the kickoff charity walk for the Ajax-Pickering United
Way Sunday. Area residents turned out to take advan-
tage of beautiful weather and a worthy cause. United
Way officials announced at the event they are at-
tempting to raise $1.5 million for community-based
agencies in the community.

Durham water-efficient
display wins CNE award
DURHAM ––Tie a
white ribbon round the
water-efficient garden.
Durham’s display at the
Canadian National Exhibi-
tion (CNE) took home a
third-place showing in the
Feature Garden Category of
the annual show. This fol-
lows a first-place showing
last year.
“Our CNE garden pro-
moted the use of rainfall
only in the garden to over
one million people during
the course of the show,”
says Glen Pleasance, the co-
ordinator of the Region’s
water efficient programs.
Durham’s CNE garden
was inspired by the Water
Efficient Demonstration
Garden at Durham Regional
Headquarters, 605 Rossland
Rd. E., Whitby.
As with last year’s gar-
den, it was designed by
Mason Hogue Gardens in
Coppins Corners.
Residents can visit the
demonstration garden in
Whitby or call 1-800-372-
1103 or 905-668-7725, ext.

Police looking into death
of 14-year-old at group home
PICKERING —
Durham Regional Police
and the coroner are probing
the death on Monday of a
14-year-old boy at a group
home for disabled children.
Police responded to the
Guild Road group home at
4:37 a.m. following a call to
assist paramedics after the
boy, described as being se-
verely disabled from an ac-
cidental near drowning, was
found in a bedroom without
vital signs.
Sergeant Paul Malik, po-
lice spokesman, said the
child was discovered by
staff, which reportedly had
checked on him about 15 or
20 minutes earlier.
He said detectives from
the Ajax and Pickering
Community Office and the
coroner are investigating
the circumstances surround-
ing the death, but foul play
isn’t suspected.
No other details were
available.

Schools must
teach facts –
anything less
is sophomoric
To the editor:
Re: ‘Homosexuality discussions
don’t belong in classrooms’, letter
to the editor, Sept. 5.
Despite Les Lamb’s analogy,
public education is not designed to
‘usurp’ the beliefs of families, but
to educate. To be effective, educa-
tion must be objective and thor-
ough. It is the family’s responsibil-
ity to support education by dis-
cussing issues, thereby adding its
own subjectivity, with its children.
There are many varieties of ‘fami-
ly values’ — not all of us are con-
servative, white, fundamentalist
Christians. No offence.
Parents can and do debate over
subjects taught in schools and this
is appropriate in any democracy.
The free exchange of ideas is built
upon such discourse, and any at-
tempt to hamstring that exchange
can only foster ignorance and big-
otry.
Homosexuality is a fact of life
and has been since the dawn of hu-
manity. For that matter, ours is not
the only species known to engage
in it.
I have family members, friends
and business associates who are
gay, lesbian, or bisexual. I do not
believe anyone else who reads this
paper can seriously claim other-
wise.
The bottom line is this: families
teach principles and share beliefs.
Schools teach facts and the means
to develop independent critical
thinking. Both are equally impor-
tant and to compromise either is a
disservice.
Hate is not a family value. Half
an education is sophomoric at
best.
Devyn Christopher Gillette
Let teachers
focus on
‘gender-neutral’
subjects
To the editor:
Re: ‘Gay, lesbian issues part of
Durham life,’ letter to the editor,
Aug. 29.
I question Mary Pope’s deci-
sion to teach her children to
“value and respect each and every
individual on this earth”.
I trust they haven’t read her let-
ter urging Bill Butcher, Durham
president of the Elementary
Teachers’ Federation of Ontario
“to take his head out of the sand”.
I’m not sure which part of “value
and respect” her attitude reflects.
I doubt Mr. Butcher would be
“surprised to learn many gays,
lesbians, bisexuals and transgen-
der individuals” live in Durham.
How many is many?
I suspect we could list several
other “alternative lifestyles’.
Would we expect funding to fa-
miliarize elementary school chil-
dren with the peculiar habits asso-
ciated with each group? I believe
Mr. Butcher’s remarks merely re-
flect a decision to allocate finan-
cial resources on a where-they-
are-most-needed basis.
Let’s teach our children at
home about sensitive issues like
sexual choices, which no amount
of money, or books or teaching
materials can ever adequately
cover.
We should free Durham educa-
tors to instruct our kids in math,
science, history, languages, com-
puter technology and other ‘gen-
der-neutral’ subjects.

Predicting Premier Mike Har-
ris’s next job has become Ontario’s
biggest growth industry, but it is
highly unlikely he is going any-
where.
Ontarians’ heads must be spin-
ning at the almost daily sugges-
tions the Progressive Conservative
premier will leave soon. The rea-
sons fall into four categories: he
will head a united right-of-centre
federal party; he has lost interest in
his current role; he recognizes he
cannot win an election due about
2003; or he might even be pushed
out in ignominy by his own party
because it feels he is a loser.
The notion Mr. Harris might
become leader of a party uniting
the federal Conservatives and
Canadian Alliance has continued
even though he has expressed dis-
interest. Recently one western
politician suggested Mr. Harris is
the only man who can heal rifts
that have emerged in the Alliance
and another suggested Mr. Harris
or Alberta premier Ralph Klein
would make the best leader.
But Mr. Harris turned down
such invitations even when the Al-
liance, then the Reform Party, had
a large membership that pulled to-
gether and there was some
prospect it could combine amica-
bly with the Tories. He would be
even less interested now that the
Alliance has internal feuds that
have made it a joke.
Mr. Harris also has shown no
inclination to woo voters outside
Ontario whose support he would
need as federal leader. He urged
the Liberal federal government to
follow him in making the cutting
of taxes its first priority and alien-
ated half-a-dozen have-not
provinces who would prefer it
spend more on social programs.
Mr. Harris also displayed his
lack of federal aspirations when he
scoffed Atlantic provinces who
want to continue receiving equal-
ization payments after they start
collecting revenues from their off-
shore energy resources are like lot-
tery winners who want to stay on
welfare. This is not the language of
a politician who wants to win
votes across the country.
The premier seems constantly
to be rejecting suggestions he is
out to become federal leader and
there has to be suspicion he enjoys
it, because it reminds Ontarians
some outside his own province
value him highly and gives him a
chance to say he wants to devote
all his energies to his first love,
Ontario. He sounds like he is sac-
rificing the opportunity to be a big
star on Broadway to help at home.
Mr. Harris has also been pic-
tured as stepping down voluntarily
and giving someone else a chance
to lead his party because it has fall-
en to 35 per cent in polls, as a re-
sult particularly of many feeling he
has gone too far in cutting ser-
vices, and whole pages have been
written assessing Tories who
might replace him.
But Mr. Harris has been down
to 35 per cent in a poll before, only
months before he won the 1999
election. It would not be in his na-
ture to give up easily. He fought
hard to be chosen leader when his
party had only 24 per cent in the
polls, its lowest ever, which does
not suggest he runs when the going
gets tough.
Premiers also usually do not
surrender at the whiff of danger.
Mr. Harris’s predecessor, New De-
mocrat Bob Rae, fought to keep
his prize when he had only 21 per
cent in polls and at least went
down fighting and there is the en-
couraging example of an earlier
Tory premier, William Davis,
twice losing his majority but hang-
ing in to win it back.
Mr. Harris also is pictured as
quitting because he has lost inter-
est in his job and does not take it
seriously and the evidence usually
given is he attends the legislature
infrequently.
But this is a strategy so he can
avoid having to answer questions
that might embarrass him. In fact,
he now attends more often than he
did before the 1999 election, when
his absences were little reported.
Mr. Harris is seen as in danger
of being pushed out by colleagues
unless his support in polls rises
and even a sympathetic newspaper
has warned a decision to leave may
not be his to make and others in
the party may force him to go.
There is no mechanism to do
this, however. There is not much
anyone can offer the premier to
leave and any would-be successor
who urged him to go publicly
would expose disunity in the party
and decrease its chances.
The only Tory ministers with
records as rebels, Bob Runciman
in economic development and
Norm Sterling in consumer ser-
vices, who took noted stands
against Mr. Davis over, respective-
ly, his intervening in business and
funding for Roman Catholic high
schools, have long mellowed and
other Tory ministers see eye-to-eye
with Mr. Harris on everything or
are mere ‘yes’men.
Ontario’s biggest growth industry
Rumours continue to swirl over Premier Mike Harris’s future

The enormity of what happened in the U.S. yesterday
won’t be adequately measured for some time.
The lives lost — some of them likely Canadian — are
being calculated in numbers hard to imagine.
The effect of the terrorist attacks in New York and
Washington could be seen in the thoughtful countenance of
people gazing at television screens. It could be heard in the
silence of those gathered around portable radios and Inter-
net Web sites as news reports filtered in.
Surely each and every one of us has taken pause these
last 24 hours to quietly ponder this assault on our belief
that our American neighbours — and by extension our-
selves — were safe from a terrorist attack of this magni-
tude.
Here at home, the skies over Durham Region fell silent
when Pearson International Airport was “virtually shut
down”, according to Phyllis Bennett, an information offi-
cer with Emergency Measures Ontario.
Not since Pearl Harbor in December 1941 has the U.S.
— our number-1 trading partner and best friend — en-
dured such an attack.
And, while we attempt to unravel the motive, method
and impact of the attack, we may take some comfort in the
Canadian response to the tragedy, and in the swift response
here at home.
Prime Minister Jean Chretien vowed yesterday after-
noon to provide all the support and resources necessary to
help the Americans in their recovery, beginning with the
clearance of U.S. commercial planes to land on Canadian
sites if needed. In Durham, the reaction was swift and effi-
cient. Officials at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station
invoked heightened security for incoming vehicles and
passengers. Durham Region’s Emergency Measures’ Of-
fice was put on standby, ready to act should action be re-
quired.
School officials spent a portion of their day patiently
answering the questions of frightened students while
closely monitoring the situation.
The attack may have occurred thousands of kilometres
away, but it was felt deeply, perhaps even physically, here
in Durham.
Canada is bound by its long history as a leading trading
partner and constant companion to the U.S. to provide a
symbolic shoulder to lean on and practical means of assis-
tance. And the effort can start right here at home.
It’s our duty to be a
shoulder to lean on
As U.S. begins rebuilding after terrifying
attack, Canada must offer helping hand
You said it
The question was:
Do you think extracurriculars
will return to high schools this year?
The Mike Harris government’s obsession with com-
parative numbers and accountability continues unabated
as it enters the halfway point of its second term.
It’s testing teachers. It’s testing students. It’s ranking
hospitals and it’s even considered ranking provincial
court judges.
The latest tangible example of the Province’s philoso-
phy is likely to be delivered to your home in Pickering in
the next month or so as municipalities issue their first-
ever ‘report cards’ showing how your civic government
conducts its business and manages your tax dollars.
Categories being covered include such things as ad-
ministration, firefighting, snow removal and garbage col-
lection.
At the Regional level of government, Durham is on the
hook for providing similar documentation and will report
on police services and the delivery of, for example, tap
water.
Notwithstanding the fact municipal taxpayers weigh in
regularly on how well they believe their town or city is
being run — in a democratic exercise known as a munic-
ipal election — these ‘report cards’ will serve to update
citizens on the way their little corner of the world stacks
up against others.
If you will, it can be more adequately described as a
‘progress report’ than a ‘report card’ since municipalities
constantly evolve to meet the needs of the day.
Municipal governments regularly share resources
within departments, shift priorities as they arise, and ad-
dress community issues as dictated by the will of the peo-
ple.
So, when yours arrives at your doorstep, take the doc-
uments for what they are: A relatively innocuous mid-
term update of how well our elected municipal leaders are
minding the store.
One question, though: Who has been ordered to report
on the impact, efficiency and leadership of our provincial
government?
Ken Goodwin
said,“I think
they will to
some degree. I
think teachers
understand stu-
dents need
that.”
Greg Rowe
said,“I think
they are going
to be by the
sounds of it.”
Geary White
said,“I hope it
does. It’s great
for kids.”

When will others
follow lead of West
Coast education
facility?
Why can’t schools, institu-
tions, corporate offices, and
other facilities follow in the foot-
steps of St. Ann’s Academy?
Earlier this year, BioCycle,
an international magazine on
composting and recycling, re-
ported a story on the recycling
done at a location similar to
Toronto’s Casa Loma.
Situated in the heart of Victo-
ria, B.C., St. Ann’s Academy is a
magnificent castle-like structure
that serves as an educational in-
stitution as well as an interpreta-
tive centre to relate the history of
the building and the people of
this former convent.
St. Ann’s has been declared ‘a
zero-waste building’. To reach
its almost ‘zero garbage’rate, the
academy’s 300 staff diligently
recycle and feed food daily to its
red wiggler worms.
Regular office wastebaskets
were exchanged for mini-bins
that are attached to a recycling
box.
The recycling program in-
cludes glass, tin, plastics (num-
bers l to 7), cardboard, and
mixed paper. Wood pallets are
also recycled.
To capture lunch scraps, as
well as coffee grounds and other
organics from the academy’s five
kitchens, food is deposited into
separate pails that are taken to
four large vermicomposters situ-
ated in an old single-car garage
that sits apart from the main
building.
This converted space also
stores the recyclables and many
clear bags of shredded newspa-
per, pre-mixed with a little peat
moss and water, which serves as
fresh bedding for the four large
worm bins.
Between 20 and 30 pounds of
food are deposited beneath the
bedding daily. The worms digest
both bedding and food until the
bedding is no longer visible.
Each worm bin is emptied
only three times a year.
During the year, thousands of
red wigglers turn the material
and the bedding into compost
that is used on the academy’s six
acres of lush gardens, which are
open to the public.
The only odour inside the
shed is a forest-like smell that
comes from the compost.
The cost to convert the garage
and to manufacture the six-by-
four foot worm bins was approx-
imately $4,000 — an amount
that has been repaid many times
over.
The academy’s two-yard-
long dumpster, which is located
behind the recycling shed, gath-
ers the debris that is not recycled.
This small unit is emptied only
three times a week, which is re-
markable considering the size of
this building, its staff, and the
events hosted there.
British Columbia Building
Corporation (BCBC), which
maintains the grounds and build-
ing, set the goal of at least 50 per
cent waste reduction by 2000.
They are now close to A 98
per cent diversion rate.
Former BCBC cleaning su-
pervisor Steve Hallett, who initi-
ated the composting system,
said, “The whole issue around
garbage is being accountable and
responsible for the waste that is
generated within your working
area.
With our diligent recycling
practices and the ability to com-
post organics, very little gets
trucked away for landfill.”

DURHAM —Durham Regional Police are
taking a close look at store surveillance tapes
following holdups at two local gas stations
early Monday.
Police believe the same suspect is likely re-
sponsible for both heists, which occurred less
than 90 minutes apart.
The Petro Canada station, at 1545 Rossland
Rd. E., was robbed at about 2 a.m. when a
man demanded money from the clerk, who
was not injured.
Approximately one hour and 20 minutes
later, a bandit made off with cash after a
holdup at the Sunoco on Paisley Court, near
Brock Street and Hwy. 401.
There were no reports of a weapon in either
case, Sergeant Paul Malik said.
The robber was caught on camera in at least
one of the robberies and detectives are study-
ing surveillance videotapes.

lice said the office was also on
alert.
"It's a case of just waiting to
see what's happening and see-
ing if there's any assistance to
be offered," he said.
Adding to the confusion of
Tuesday's events was a bomb
threat called into Durham Col-
lege at 12:15 p.m. The school
was evacuated while police
bomb specialists and Oshawa
Fire Services searched the
building. Similar threats, called
in from a payphone were also
received for Downtown Os-
hawa and the Glen Street area.
Nothing was found in any of
the areas.
"It seems to be related to
what's on the news in New
York,' said Oshawa Fire Chief
Milt Wilson.
General Motors of Canada
did not experience any produc-
tion problems because of the
airport closure and a slowdown
of traffic at the American-
Canadian border crossings,
said spokesman Richard James
in mid-afternoon. The company
continued to monitor the situa-
tion overnight, he added.
Over at the Durham District
School Board, officials were
encouraging parents and stu-
dents to remain calm after re-
ceiving some concerned calls
from local schools, said
spokesman Andrea Pidwerbec-
ki. She said the board had no
plans to send students home for
the day after speaking with
both the Durham Emergency
Measures' Office and other
school boards.
"At this point the best infor-
mation we have is we should
encourage calm and keep
everyone in," said Ms. Pidwer-
becki.
The Durham Catholic Dis-
trict School Board was moni-
toring the situation, but educa-
tion director Grant Andrews
said board staff "don't antici-
pate a problem here" and had
no plans to close schools.
"Right now I think our
hearts and our thoughts and our
prayers are with those who
have suffered so much in this
tragedy," he said.
In an e-mail to board staff,
Mr. Andrews said "all informa-
tion regarding closure of any of
the Durham Catholic District
School Board schools is incor-
rect. Durham MP Alex Shep-
herd says he doesn't believe
there was a large risk locally, in
spite of the region’s two nu-
clear plants, since security is in
place.
"I presume it's gone to a lit-
tle higher alert than normal," he
said. But, he maintained, "I
don't think there is a local con-
cern."
Politicians, too, have been
put on standby. Mr. Shepherd
says he and other MPs have
been contacted by the Liberal
party whip's office. "They want
to know where we're going to
be for the next 72 hours," said
Mr. Shepherd.
The MP said his office has
been contacted by a number of
area nurses and firefighters,
willing to travel to the U.S. to
lend a hand.
"We're trying to co-ordinate
and allocate their inquiries," he
said.

DURHAM — Captain
Michael VandenBos Public
School is in the Canadian
Armed Forces.
The Whitby school, offi-
cially opened in style Tuesday
with Snowbirds flying over-
head, hosted a dinner in hon-
our of Canada’s acrobatic
fliers later in the day.
Principal Claire Boychyn
said some 200 guests, includ-
ing the VandenBos family, all
of the Snowbird pilots and Ed-
ucation Minister Janet Ecker,
dined on sesame-crusted
chicken with grilled pineapple
in the school gymnasium. Pro-
ceeds from the evening are still
be tabulated.
Ms. Boychyn said the high-
light of the evening was when
Whitby-Ajax MP Judi Long-
field, representing Defence
Minister Art Eggleton, pre-
sented the school with a
unique and “gorgeous plaque”.
It reads, “This certificate
officially confirms that the
Captain Michael VandenBos
Public School is an honorary
member of Canada’s Air
Force.”
Ms. Boychyn said the
school is the only one in Cana-
da to be so honoured and she
was “blown away” when pre-
sented with the plaque, now on
display in the school.
Military brass and Snow-
bird pilots also visited class-
rooms earlier in the day to
speak with students.
As well, Ms. Boychyn said
the military personnel appreci-
ated the work of Grade 5
teacher Sara Oates, who paint-
ed a CT-114 Tutor jet on the
floor in the foyer outside the li-
brary. The plane is Snowbird
#2, which was flown by Capt.
VandenBos. Ms. Oates also
painted the school logo on the
gym wall above the stage.

More than $1 billion spent
annually on horse racing industry
drivers, jockeys, grooms, breed-
ers, trainers, veterinarians and
farriers. More than $1 billion is
spent annually on goods and
services, such as horse feed,
bedding and transportation.
About 20 per cent of the
gross slot machine revenues go
to the horse-racing sector. In the
fiscal year 2000-01, that totalled
about $180 million in Ontario.
The commission is shared be-
tween the racetrack and respec-
tive horse industry personnel,
with each getting 10 per cent of
the gross revenues.
But, the marriage of slot ma-
chine gambling and horses
seems to have divided those in-
volved in racing.
Ajax resident Joe Tavares,
with the Quarter Racing Owners
of Ontario Inc., says having
slots at Picov’s means “every-
thing” for those racing quarter-
horses.
“Basically, if we didn’t get
casino money, the money we’re
racing for we’d be financially
unable to run our horses. The in-
dustry couldn’t grow,” he says.
Slots have “amassed mil-
lions” and the money needs to
reach horse owners, he adds.
“It has taken horse racing to
another level.”
Alan Todd of Canfield, south
of Hamilton, agrees slots are
needed for the industry.
“It’s really important now.
It’s the only place our money is
coming from to continue racing
the horses.
“We get a small percentage
of the parimutuels, but not
enough. The purse money isn’t
enough to run horses. We’re
spending more money than we
could make.”
But, the Ontario Horse Rac-
ing Industry Association
(OHRIA) is concerned having
the slots could negatively affect
the racing. In a letter to the
Province, association chairman
Robert Hall stated 800 slots at
Picov’s “would make a mockery
of the racetrack slot program.
“The program is intended to
provide an alternative revenue
source to strengthen our existing
core business — live horse rac-
ing, not to change the structure
of the industry.
Such an allocation would
have a profound negative impact
on the neighbouring tracks such
as Kawartha, Barrie and Wood-
bine,” Mr. Hall wrote.
OHRIA can “only support an
allocation of up to 200 machines
at Picov Downs”, he added.
“This is the same allocation re-
ceived by Clinton, Dresden,
Hanover and Woodstock race-
ways, although only 100 ma-
chines have or will have (been)
installed at each of these sites.”
Mr. Picov said having fewer
than 800 slots would make the
redevelopment economically
unviable and he wouldn’t go
ahead with the project.
With the expanded facility,
Mr. Picov also wants to increase
the number of racing dates from
the approximately 20 now pro-
vided to about 50.
Picov’s is the only quarter-
horse track in Ontario. In fact,
it’s the only such track between
the Maritimes and western
Canada, where there are about
15 tracks.
Mr. Tavares notes the total
purses for a season of quarter-
horse racing at Picov’s is
$175,000 and that’s the amount
of money wagered on slots in
one day at Woodbine.
The top prize for a race at
Picov’s is about $1,200, while
an average prize for standard-
bred or thoroughbred races is
$12,000, he adds.
“We’re the only ones left out.
We’re the black sheep of horse
racing,” Mr. Tavares says.
Meanwhile, he says the taxi
industry would also benefit by
having slots at Picov’s.
“Business would be so
booming, they’d have to open
another (taxi) business,” Mr.
Tavares predicts. “The impact
here would be so incredible.”
Mr. Tavares runs between 12
and 15 horses, and he also has
mares and a breeding operation.
Mr. Todd notes at Flamboro
“the purses are higher than ours.
They’ve basically doubled. At
Woodbine, the purses increased
as well.
“With slots, that would go up
tremendously,” he says, adding
the winner of a race gets 45 per
cent of the purse.
As for quarter-horse racing
trainers, “they’re not making
much now off a horse. They’re
breaking even,” Mr. Todd said,
pointing out most trainers hold
down jobs and do the training
“after work”.
It takes about two months to
get a horse in proper shape to
compete. “If they’re not in
shape, they can hurt them-
selves.”
He says the average horse
would cost $5,000 to train and
maintain for a season and the
owner would break even. A bet-
ter-than-average horse would
earn a little more in purses, but
it’s not an industry someone
would get rich with.
“It costs you $5,000 and you
might be able to make $5,000.
We do it because we enjoy it,”
Mr. Todd states.
He makes his living in the
horse industry, working as a
blacksmith and with stud ser-
vices.
“With the races horses, I
break even or they cost me
money.”
While he likes to watch thor-
oughbreds and standardbreds,
“for me, the quarter-horses are
exciting. It’s like watching a
drag race. With the thorough-
breds, I don’t start watching
until they make the last turn. It’s
the same with the standard-
breds.”

Survey finds Internet use on the rise
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM — More
Durham elementary students
are using the Internet, and the
percentage increases as pupils
get older, a new survey has re-
vealed.
Bev Freedman, the Durham
District School Board’s pro-
grams superintendent, on Mon-
day night released the results of
the board’s second attitudinal
survey of grades 3 to 6 students.
Almost 18,000 surveys were
completed at selected Durham
schools in the spring.
“It’s the students speaking to
you,” she said of the survey re-
sults, adding the board will look
at the results to see “areas stu-
dents say we should be paying
attention to”.
While many results re-
mained roughly the same from
a 1999 survey, the use of the In-
ternet and computers in general
is rising among students. Fifty-
three per cent said they use the
Internet regularly, compared to
37 per cent two years ago. And,
while that number is 42 per cent
for Grade 3 students, it rises to
63 per cent in Grade 6.
Ms. Freedman said while
women are the most active
users of the Internet in North
America, the board survey
shows more boys (57 per cent)
than girls (49 per cent) say they
use the Internet ‘all or most of
the time’.
Seventy-four per cent of the
students said they use a com-
puter at home compared to 69
per cent two years ago. Asked if
they use a computer at home to
do homework, 32 per cent re-
sponded ‘all or most of the
time’, while 71 per cent re-
sponded ‘sometimes’, an in-
crease from 65 per cent in 1999.
Scugog Trustee Martin
Demmers asked Ms. Freedman
if she could prepare a one-page
report of system recommenda-
tions out of the survey.
But she responded it has not
been done in the past, noting,
the board is currently preparing
for Education Quality & Ac-
countability Office (EQAO)
testing. Ms. Freedman suggest-
ed she could have a report ready
in a couple of months.
Trustee Demmers made a
motion for the report, but staff
and trustees rejected the idea.
“EQAO results are what par-
ents are looking to,” said board
chairman Elizabeth Roy. “I
think that the energy of the staff
should be focused on the imme-
diate needs.”
Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee
Melinda Crawford suggested
the survey information, which
Trustee Roy earlier said should
be passed on to the Education
Ministry, be put into a bar
graph, comparing the most re-
cent and past surveys.
However, Oshawa Trustee
Susan Shetler said trustees
should not be making more
work for staff.
“I think it’s unfair on every
issue that comes up... to con-
stantly ask them (staff) for more
information,” she said.
“The information is already
there.”
Other survey results showed:
69 per cent of students say they
enjoy school; 80 per cent say
they feel safe in their school,
compared to 72 per cent who
say they feel safe on their
school’s playground; and 79 per
cent said they receive extra help
when they ask for it.

PICKERING —A local
Toronto Blue Jays’ prospect has
moved another step up pro base-
ball’s ladder toward the big club.
Lee Delfino, 21, after a short
stay with the Auburn (New York)
Doubledays of the New York-
Penn League — the Jays’ short-
season ‘A’ affiliate — has been
promoted to the Charleston,
(West Virginia) Alley Cats of the
South Atlantic League,Toronto’s
long-season ‘A’affiliate.
So far at Charleston, the Alley
Cats’shortstop has posted a .267
average with 39 hits, 16 runs, 10
doubles and 13 runs batted in as
of Sept. 10.
Unfortunately, the Alley Cats
have floundered this season,with
a 30-39 record and are currently
in last place in their division, 14
games behind division-leading
Hagerstown.
Shortly after being signed by
the Jays in late June, Delfino was
shipped to Auburn and made an
immediate impact. In his short
time there, he batted a whopping
.400 in five home games.
His stellar play earned him a
ticket to Charleston where he’s
expected to play the balance of
the season.
It’s been a long road
for the Pickering Base-
ball Association product
to finally become a
member of the Blue
Jays’ organization. Se-
lected by the Jays in the
fifth round of Major
League Baseball’s 1998 draft,
Delfino instead opted to attend
East Carolina University in
Greenville N.C. on a baseball
scholarship.
Delfino was again drafted by
the Blue Jays, this time in the
sixth round (182nd overall) of
the 2001 amateur draft in early
June. Later that month, the six-
foot one-inch, 180-pounder
signed a contract with the Toron-
to organization.

PICKERING —With a
rookie-laden roster, the Pick-
ering Boyer Pontiac Panthers
are hoping for the best when
they begin their 2001/02 ju-
nior ‘A’ hockey league season
tonight (Wednesday).
The Panthers will host the
neighbouring Ajax Axemen at
the Pickering Recreation
Complex at 7:30 to begin the
OHA Ontario Provincial Ju-
nior ‘A’ Hockey League South
Conference season.
The Panthers finished pre-
season play Tuesday night at
the Oshawa Civic Auditorium
against the Legionaires. The
result wasn’t available at the
News Advertiser’s press dead-
line.
In their next-to-last exhibi-
tion contest, the Panthers eked
out a 3-1 victory Saturday
night over the Port Hope
Predators at Port Hope’s Jack
Burger Sports Complex.
Rookie Kevin Day was
among the Pickering goal
scorers in the contest.
Panthers’ general manager
Cliff Long acknowledged that,
with so many rookies, goal
scoring may be a problem in
the short term, but expects his
charges to pick up the pace as
the season wears on.
“I think it looks pretty
promising. Our defence is
going to be strong and so will
our goaltending. I would like
to get a few more goal scorers,
though. But, I think once (our
rookies) get into the league
and get a few more games
under their belts, they should
do quite well,” said Long.
He’s also confident the vast
experience of new head coach
Bill Purcell will go a long way
into shaping the team into a
winner.
“I know that Bill is going to
be helping (the rookies) out,”
he said.
The Panthers played the
Ajax Axemen twice in pre-sea-
son contests, posting a 1-1
record.

Pickering minor peewees
drop final in rubber
match with Whitby
PICKERING —A late-game
rally fell short for the Pickering Red
Sox minor peewee rep baseball team
in the recent Eastern Ontario Base-
ball Association championship tour-
nament.
With Pickering and Whitby each
having one loss in the double-knock-
out format, the final was a winner-
take-all affair, with Whitby earning a
12-8 victory.
After Whitby held a slim 1-0 lead
in the first inning, an uncharacteris-
tic defensive meltdown by Pickering
in the second allowed Whitby to take
a 10-0 lead. Pickering’s bats went to
work in the third inning as Ross Nor-
man, Robert Carman and Chris Rose
combined for two runs batted in. A
double by Mike McFarlane, and a
triple by Mark Hoyne put the third
Pickering run on the board. Nor-
man’s hit delivered Kyle Kotchie to
the plate in the fourth to cut the
deficit to six runs.
The Whitby lead was cut to four
in the fifth as Travis Hendry and
Hoyne were brought home by
Kotchie’s line drive up the middle.

Whether you're looking for gift-
ware, loot bag fillers, seasonal decora-
tions or household gadgets, you're
sure to find it all and more at McLean's
Wholesale Outlet, your old-fashioned
general wholesaler since 1945.
"It would be hard to describe every-
thing we carry," admits owner Lou
Beauchamp, pointing to an inventory
that also includes candles, candlehold-
ers, wooden plaques, picture frames,
party supplies and toys.
The outlet opened its doors to the
general public several years ago, and
continues to offer merchandise to
independent stores located across the
country.
"Most people are awed on their first
visit," Mr. Beauchamp says proudly.
"Once they've visited us and get to
know us, they keep coming back. That
pleases me. I hope customers will con-
tinue to visit."
McLean's Wholesale Outlet is locat-
ed at 384 Westney Rd. S. at Bayly
Street in Ajax. It's open Monday
through Wednesday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.,

Papps offers a banquet/party room

also a meeting room for up to 40

The owners of the restaurant,
Chris and Tom Papatheodorou, live

tion that he started back in 1965.
What an exciting menu!

to salads, burgers and pasta.
Signature items include Big M “Steak

will be added to the great line up on
the menu. The installation of a stone
pizza oven will enable Papps to offer
thin crust gourmet pizza in a variety
of topping selections.

this nomination and invite new cus-
tomers to come on in and enjoy the
experience and thank all of their

port over the years.

Magwyers Pub
We are honoured once again
in 2001 to be nominated as
Ajax & Pickering’s Best Pub.
105 Bayly St., Ajax, West of Harwood
426-8877
If ever an establishment has earned the
right to boast, the Magwyers Pub in Ajax
is the one! Since its conception in 1998,
Magwyers has proven time and time
again, that consistency has played a
major role in their key to success.
Great food, selection and service, not to
mention the great hospitality are
continuously implemented at Magwyers.
They aim and strive to please no matter
what the circumstance may be. If you’ve
never ventured into this quaint
international pub, you’re guaranteed a
real treat. At first you may be surprised
by the smaller than usual size, but the
laughter, fabulous aromas and smiles are
sure to entice. For the beer connoisseur,
Magwyers has a fabulous bar that is
home to “24” choices of Import and
Exported draughts! The menu is based on
the traditional “Pub Grub” with a slight
twist, which makes the selection very
appealing to even the most finicky of
eaters. Quality, portion size and price are
said to be unbeatable by Magwyers many
satisfied patrons.
So, if you’ve just stopped in for a fast
bowl of homemade soup, or just to relax,
be prepared to be awed.
Thanks again Ajax/Pickering

Thank you
Ajax & Pickering for
nominating us in 2001
as your favorite denturist
Your Denturist
is a Denture
Specialist to
make complete
and partial
Dentures. He is
the only
professional
legislated
“specifically” to make Dentures. For Service and “one on
one” contact with the person who is actually making your
Denture, see your local Denturist for a consultation.
Do your dentures spend more time in a glass than in your
mouth?
A prominent biblical figure whose patience was legendary,
who withstood pestilence and calamity, was heard to say
one day that the only thing that got to him was “sore
gums”.
SORE SPOTS
The main reason for sore spots is ill-fitting dentures - It is a
combination of shrinking Gums and Denture wear.
NEW DENTURES
You can expect some adjustments the first month after
getting your dentures. It takes time to settle into place. At
the first sign of discomfort, do not be alarmed. If it lasts
more than 3 or four days, contact your denturist.
UPPER DENTURES
The upper Denture is the “Good Guy”. The one that gets all
the smiles. The Denture that causes the least discomfort.
The big plus of the upper Denture is its suction. The Air
caught between the palate of the denture and the roof of the
mouth makes an ideal suction cup.
LOWER DENTURES
Lower Dentures have become the “culprit” from much oral
abuse. Lower dentures are much maligned.
So much so, people tend to divorce them from your partner,
the upper Denture. The lower Denture has become
somewhat of a misfit, and seeks refuge in the most unlikely
places. Bottom drawers, bottom of the bed, amongst
lipsticks and combs in ladies’ handbags, lunch pails, back
pockets and if they have a caring owner, submerged for
eternity in a denture bath.
You may see the “lot” of a lower denture leaves “a lot” to
be desired.
ALL IS NOT LOST
You can have a “soft liner” put in your lower Denture. This
is a “permanent” liner and will stay soft as long as your
denture lasts.
SORE SPOTS
The main reason for sore spots is ill-fitting dentures -- it is
a combination of shrinking gums and Denture wear. See
the person who makes your Dentures.
OTHER REASONS
Medication can give you a “dry mouth”. This can cause
sore spots. Bone chips can appear many years after the
initial insertion. As we get older, our body goes through
change, tissue becomes more sensitive to pressure, which
leads to sore spots. Poor oral hygiene can be the reason for
denture discomfort. Dentures must be brushed thoroughly
after every meal.
TO EASE DISCOMFORT
Rinse your mouth with baking soda or Salt. Leave the
offending denture out as much as possible. You should
brush your gums, palate and tongue with a soft bristle
Toothbrush after every meal and before going to sleep. A
sore mouth, if untreated, could lead to complications. If the
problem recurs regularly, contact your local denturist.
SERVICE WITH A SMILE
Seeing a denturist can save you money. Denturist Fees are
affordable because there are no cost markups or outside
delays. Make an appointment full or partial dentures, new
or replacement, refit or repairs, whatever your denture
requirements see a Denturist. A referral is not necessary.

him what the philosophy and mission of the
school are and listen for a clearly articulated
answer, delivered with enthusiasm and commit-
ment. Questions about class size, qualifications
of teachers, resources available and involvement
of parents in the school will yield good informa-
tion about the school. Questions about the nature
of the curriculum offered are critical. You should
be confident that the school adheres to the
Provincial Curriculum and offers more
than the bare minimum. You may also
want to ask about the styles of teaching
employed - good schools will use a variety
of approaches that should include student-
centred learning. A good school will ensure
that your child is receiving an appropriate
education in Information Technology - be
sure to inquire about the ratio of comput-
ers to students but, more importantly, ask
how the computers are used. Ask to speak
to some students - they are often your best
source of information about the school.
You may also want to speak to a current
parent of a child in the appropriate grade
level. Do the parents feel that their child is
being challenged academically? Do teach-
ers demonstrate a genuine concern for the
students' progress? On the tour of the
school expect to see some classes in action
and watch for the nature of the interaction
between teacher and student. Is the facility
tidy and well kept? Is there an atmosphere
that has “energy” to it? Do people appear
happy to be in the school? A high quality
education does not have to occur in a som-
bre way.
Spend a Day.Many schools will invite
your daughter or son to spend a day or
portion of a day in the school. This visit
will provide excellent information. After
all, it is your child who will spend a good
deal of their year or years in the place. The
visit will also give your daughter or son the
opportunity to gauge the level of work
expected of them.
Trust Your Instincts.You know your child
and you will very quickly get a sense of a
school during a visit. Once you have made
your decision, commit to the school and throw
your support behind the teachers. Education,
after all, is a partnership, whether it is in a public
or independent school.
George Briggs is a parent of a student at Trafalgar Castle School in
Whitby. He holds a B.A. in Geography, M.Ed. in Education
Administration and has taught for 30 years in the public secondary;
member schools of the Canadian Association of Independent
Schools and the College of Education at Brock University. Mr.
Briggs is also the Principal and a teacher at Trafalgar Castle School.
Trafalgar Castle School would like to thank the
community for our nomination as #1 Private
School in Durham in the Readers' Choice
Awards. Over the past few years we have shared
with you a number of articles discussing educa-
tion, independent schools and girls' schools. It is
our hope that the stories and experiences from
Trafalgar Castle School have provided an addi-
tional resource when considering the options
available for your child's education.
Choosing an Independent School for Your Child
Today I would like to offer some suggestions for
parents embarking upon the process of choosing a
school. Although my comments are tailored for
independent schools, many of the choice factors
would apply for any school - public or independent.
Where Do I Begin? There are literally hundreds
of private and independent schools in the
Province of Ontario. The legal requirements for
opening a private school in the province are not
overly stringent, so it is a case of “buyer beware”.
Your best option is to choose an independent
school that is affiliated with an organization that
has clearly stated guidelines for membership. One
such organization is the Conference of
Independent Schools (Ontario). A listing of mem-
ber schools can be found at www.cis.edu.on.ca.
Schools that are members of CIS (Ontario) must
adhere to specific principles and pass inspection
prior to gaining membership.
What Type of School Should I Choose?
Independent schools come in a variety of shapes
and sizes. Co-educational, single gender, day and
residential are but a few of the major categories.
Trafalgar Castle School is a girls' only school
offering both day and residential programmes.
There is a considerable body of research that
indicates girls benefit from single gender school-
ing. Your son or daughter may not wish to attend
a single gender school and the desire to attend is
a critical factor in making a school work for your
child. This then becomes a highly personal issue.
What Do I Look for in a School?Be an educat-
ed consumer and ask lots of questions. You
should expect to meet the Headmaster or
Principal of a school during your visit. Ask her or

2001 READERS’ CHOICE OFFICIAL BALLOT
Looking for that perfect wedding or
anniversary diamond ring?
Or, perhaps, you’re in search of an ideal gift
for someone special.
Look no further than Donlands
Jewellers, a full-service jewellery store which
has all those special touches that puts it a cut
above the rest. In fact, it’s been recognized as
last year’s News Advertiser’s Reader’s
Choice Award for favorite jewellery store.
And, no wonder.
Donlands Jewellers has everything you
could ask for in a jewellery store. The outlet
specializes in gold and diamonds, and offers
a wide selection of in-stock rings and neck-
laces in a variety of tasteful styles to meet
every price range.
But that’s not all. Donlands Jewellers
also carries beautiful watches from top man-
ufacturers as well as sterling silver items.
The store also has a full line of stone rings
such as rubies and emeralds, as well as birth-
stone rings.
Donlands Jewellers also prides itself on
its price matching policy, which ensures cus-
tomers always get the lowest price on its
merchandise. The store will meet or beat the
price of another jeweller.
And, if there’s anything that’s not in
the store, says owner John Lorefice, then it
can be promptly ordered in for the customer.
“If you need a particular chain that we
don’t have in stock, we can get it in for
them,” she says.
Donlands Jewellers also does custom
work for its customers as well as repairs.
The store also carries a wide assort-
ment of giftware items, including picture
frames from Frameology - a popular line of
picture frames. There’s also candles and
Christmas giftware that’s now on the
shelves.
Diamond, Gold, Perfect Gift Ideas The Specialties of Donland Jewellers
Aside from its quality jewellery and
giftware, Donlands Jewellers also prides
itself on its community involvement over
the years. The store has sponsored and
donated to a variety of community organi-
zations and charitable causes over the years.
“We’re pretty active that way,” says
Mr. Lorefice of Donlands Jewellers involve-
ment in the community. “When people
bring in a letter to us, we try to help out the
community. We’ve helped everyone from
the Hospital for Sick Children to a local pee-
wee hockey team.”

THANK YOU
The Management and Staff of
Legend Music would like to
thank our loyal customers
for nominating as “Best
Musical Instruction and
Instrument Store”.
Legend Music, Where Service is #1
Legend Music of Pickering is Durham’s alternative
music store. The doors were opened on August 19,
1996, with the intent of creating a retail outlet with
an environment that would provide, top quality
service, expert repairs and a Lesson House that
fosters learning.
Being a good corporate citizen was key to us. We
have avidly supported and sponsored many programs
within our community, such as the Pickering Hockey
Association, Pickering Softball Association,
Pickering Rotary Music Festival, the Police
Association of Ontario Yearbook, and Elementary
Safety Book and Hospital Activity Book for
Children, and the Drug Facts for Young People
magazine, endorsed by The Mounted Police
Foundation.
Earlier this year two of our teachers volunteered
their time, and together we partnered with the
Pickering Youth Council to offer our services as the
judging panel for a “Battle of the Bands” event.
Legend Music offers a fun non-intimidating
atmosphere where students and customers are
encouraged to check out our products and seek
advice.
Our teachers are dedicated qualified professionals
who are actively involved in the music industry. As
playing musicians, they enhance their teaching skills
by being plugged into the latest trends in the music
world. Teaching at Legend Music is not a part-time
job for our teachers; this is what they do for a living
and they take it very seriously. Quarterly progress
report cards are prepared for each student outlining
achievement expectations, a learning skills effort
rating scale, and the student’s strengths, weaknesses
and next steps recommendations. Learning to read
music is a number one priority with Legend Music
and our teachers. For some students studying theory
is a quick means to losing interest, so, on occasion
lessons are dedicated to learning a song from a
student’s favourite CD. Parents are encouraged to
meet the teachers and our teachers are always
receptive to any questions put forward.
Legend Music is open Monday to Thursday from
11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 7
p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for more
information about Legend Music, call Jim Broomer
at (905) 837-2839.2000 READERS’ CHOICE WINNERSTake a leap above the rest!
Another Exciting Year Ahead
Another season has passed us by and
once again Cynthia’s Creative Dance Arts
prepares themselves for another exciting
year ahead.
Entering their 9th year Cynthia has had
the wonderful opportunity watching her
students grow and develop over the
years, from recreational to competitive.
It is her goal to ensure students at
C.C.D.A. receive the quality training she
promised 9 years ago. “You never know
when a student begins dance lessons
what their future holds, therefore it is
our goal to maintain high quality training
by qualified instructors to all our
students. Whatever the student dreams
we hope to help make it happen.
Part of C.C.D.A. ‘S success is contributed
by Cynthia’s desire to keep the growth
of the studio to a controllable size. “We
like to think of our studio as one big
family. I never want to loose perspective
of what our main objective is
“Commitment to quality training” and
understanding our clients needs.”
Cynthia’s training has stemmed from
some of the finest artists in the industry,
Brian Foley, Deborah Lundmark
(Canadian Dance Theater) Bill Orlowski
(Canadian Tap Dance Co.) Frank
Hatchett. She has also continued her
education in dance by attending annual
intensive workshops through the
National Ballet of Canada and various
workshops throughout the States.
Cynthia has had a professional career as
a dancer/actor/ choreographer for many
years, and some credits include: Cross
Canada Tour “Barbie” in Barbie and the
Rockers, Sonya Smitts stand in for
(Street Legal) Modeling jobs for Estée
Lauder, Benetton, Gap etc....including
many industrial shows. A very
memorable experience for Cynthia was
having the opportunity to choreograph
and Direct shows at the Roy Thompson
Hall for Chantelle Kraviasuk, BDC
young entrepreneurs of Canada in
Vancouver, just to name a few of her
every growing experience. Cynthia was
chosen recently to choreograph the
Wizard of Oz in February 2002.
Cynthia would like to note the ever
growing success of the competitive
students at C.C.D.A. winning Overall
high scores at All regional competitions
over the past 3 years. Ballet students
also continue to rank top standards
across Canada for results in exams. Last
year Cynthia’s dancers won in the
Vancouver finals, the overall group solo
award.
In conclusion Cynthia would like to
mention the Teachers, demonstrators,
and family are what make the studio the
well rounded environment she aims for.

We gratefully accept your nomination as
the Best Weight Loss Centre in
Ajax/Pickering
Health professionals at Herbal Magic can
help you take off your weight and keep a
healthy lifestyle
The ONLY method of weight loss that can work
is to teach the individual how to eat balanced
nutrition using their own grocery store bought
foods. This cannot be done in group meetings or
by using “fad diets”. It must be taught on an
individual basis to ensure the clients learn what
food they must avoid and what changes they
must make to their nutritional habits to become
more balanced. This cannot be learned in a
short term. Habits need to be changed over a
period of time. Weight loss can be expensive. It
is a multi billion dollar industry with North
Americans trying absolutely every gimmick out
there to lose some inches, usually getting
frustrated after dropping so much cash and
feeling like a failure. It doesn’t need to be like
that. Learning how to lose weight in a safe
consistent manner and then learning how to
increase your calories once you get to your goal
weight, so you can maintain a healthy new you is
MOST important and beneficial for a healthier
life.
With documented health problems attributed to
being overweight thousand of people make
resolutions to shed that unwanted flab and
become a healthier, happier human being. But
with all the different methods of weight loss being
marketed at desperate individuals that have tried
and failed before, which ones really work?
There is no quick fix, no special pill, nothing
abnormal. The only way to lose weight and
become healthier is a change of lifestyle. You
must learn how to eat properly balanced
nutrition. That doesn’t mean you can’t have your
favorites anymore. Most people look for the
quick fix; “Take the fat off me as fast as possible
so I can be thin again!”

32 Years Later
Blaisdale Provides
Educational Excellence
Blaisdale Montessori School
1969! That’s the year that Blaisdale
opened its first “Casa” to nine bright-
eyed, eager children age’s three to five.
Now, 32 years later Blaisdale Montessori
School has expanded to provide its
educational excellence to children from
ages 16 months to 14 years.
The Toddlers! What a wonderful age
when the world is new and exiting. A
time for Movement, Language and
discovering how capable you are!
Than, in the “Casa” class children from
three to five years work joyfully with
activities of their own choosing in
Reading, Math, Geography, Science, Art,
Music and Practical Life.
What about the child from six to twelve?
To quote Dr. Montessori, “It is not
enough for the teacher to love the child,
first she must also love and understand
the Universe!” Six-year-old Carson
remarked to his mother after his first few
weeks in the Elementary Class, “Mom,
the Casa was wonderful, but the
elementary class is awesome!” And,
indeed it is! Why? Because it appeals to
that most wonderful faculty of the young
mind -- imagination! The six-
year-old child is introduced to the
story of -- The Universe! As this
fascinating story unfolds, showing
how all things in the Universe are
connected, it opens up the various
disciplines of Geology,
Paleontology, Social History and other
subjects including, of course, the Arts and
Math and Language. In other words the
curriculum for the Elementary child
encompasses an overview of everything!
After the Elementary (ages 6 to 12)
comes the challenging Renaissance Class
(to ages 14) where subjects are studied in
more detail and new skills are developed
in the Academic and the Arts and
Sciences. Now is also the time when one
looks to the future to explore what will be
one’s life work and contribution to
society.
Eleanor Wilson, Blaisdale’s founder
stated, “I started Blaisdale because, like
all parents, I wanted the best for my
children.” After teaching children from
kindergarten to grade 8 in the public
system, Mrs. Wilson discovered
Montessori while living in England. “I
took the Montessori training there, and
after all these years I am still fascinated
and enthused by Montessori’s discoveries
and revelations about how children learn
and develop.”
Blaisdale Montessori School is open
from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. catering to
working parents. There are four campuses
in Ajax, two in Pickering and two
in Scarborough.
For more information please call
the head office at 905-509-5005.
Arrange for a visit. You’ll be
impressed!! I was!
Congratulations to all the nominees!
Now you must vote for your favourite
from the top three nominees in each
