Bid rubs councillor the wrong way
McLean, business
owners oppose
bid for body rub
parlours
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Business
owners, residents and City
Councillor Bill McLean are
“livid” over a zoning amend-
ment application they say could
turn a local business park into
“the sex mall of Durham”.
Diamond Swan Ventures
Corporation, owners of the
Squires Business Park at the
southwest corner of Squires
Beach and Clements roads, has
applied to have the 127 internal
units in the industrial and com-
mercial plaza, which do not
face the street, zoned to allow
body rub parlours.
Coun. McLean said he has
received dozens of letters from
local businesses and residents
opposed to the parlours and
says he’s against them as well.
He said he found in his 31
years as a Toronto police officer
many of these types of parlours
“bring nothing to the city except
trouble.”
Michael Andrigetti, who
represents Diamond Swan Ven-
tures Corporation, said the plan-
ning application only includes
all 127 interior units because
the company cannot rezone just
one unit and the intention is not
to build a whole industrial plaza
filled with body rub parlours.
“We’re not in the sex club
business,” he said, while reserv-
ing any other comment for “a
public forum”.
Durham Regional Police De-
tective Sergeant Peter
Naumgecki, speaking at a Nov.
15 statutory public information
meeting concerning the applica-
tion, said body rub parlours are
a growing concern in the region.
His concerns over such es-
tablishments included unsani-
tary conditions inside parlours,
used needles, condoms, prosti-
tution, theft, videotaping of cus-
tomers, and the use of runaways
in the business.
“We’ve had numerous com-
plaints of criminal activity in
body rub parlours,” he ex-
plained in an interview. “A
number of investigations in
Ajax and Pickering have led to
charges being laid and a number
of these establishments have
closed down.”
Ward Jardine, chief instruc-
tor at the Renseikan Dojo, lo-
cated inside the Squires Busi-
ness Park, said his concerns are
for the many women and chil-
Taxing issues: Pickering prepares 2002 budget
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Should the
City build a new ice rink?
Should it construct a new fire
hall? Maybe it should build
proper sidewalks on streets that
need them? Or perhaps it should
simply pay down the debt.
All these tough decisions and
more will have to be made with-
in the next few months as the
City plans next year’s budget.
For the many different City
staff members the process has
already begun as they plan their
own departmental budgets and
send the information off to Gil
Paterson.
“We’re accumulating staff
submissions from the different
departments including their re-
quests for funding,” said Mr. Pa-
terson, director of corporate ser-
vices and treasurer. “We take
their submissions and report
first to the chief administrative
officer and then to council in
due course.”
Mr. Paterson said the sub-
missions would include salaries
and any repair and maintenance
forecasts. Although no official
timeline has been set, the pro-
posals are compared with the
different committees and coun-
cil’s needs and then balanced
with the City’s revenues.
Any differences are made up
out of resident’s pockets,
through property tax hikes, ex-
pected again in the coming year.
The days of Pickering enjoy-
ing zero-per cent increases on its
portion of the municipal proper-
ty tax bill (every year since
1990, with the exception of
1998) came to an end in 2001
when the City approved a 9.8-
per cent jump. At the time,
Mayor Wayne Arthurs pro-
claimed the City’s “tax holiday”
was over.
However, Deputy Mayor and
Ward 1 Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner is not sure the
hit for homeowners in 2002 will
be that hard.
“I’m not convinced that the
director of finance’s projections
of doom and gloom are going to
be a reality,” he said. “There is
additional potential revenue to
offset the expenditures.”
Along with the Province tak-
ing back responsibility for fund-
ing GO Transit, Coun. Brenner
said a lump sum payment from
the City’s previous investment
in the now defunct Confedera-
tion Life is new revenue it can
depend on to cover the ever-
growing list of expenditures
they expect to see in the 2002
budget.
While additional revenues
might soften the tax impact,
Coun. Brenner doesn’t believe
Pickering residents should ex-
pect no hike at all.
“As much as I would love to
have a zero-per cent increase,
it’s probably not an obtainable
situation,” he said. “However,
we can reduce the impact on

Staff Writer
PICKERING —Develop-
ment of Pickering’s waterfront
was poised to get a little closer
to reality before Monday
night’s planning committee
meeting.
However, councillors
bowed to public outcry asking
for more time to consider a de-
tailed review of the area.
Several residents, including
Pickering Ajax Citizens To-
gether (PACT) for the Environ-
ment president David Steele,
complained they needed more
time to consider the study be-
fore giving their thoughts to
council and planning staff.
“This is unfair,” Mr. Steele
told the planning committee.
“PACT has not read this... we
have not been allowed to re-
view it in time for this commit-
tee meeting and cannot make
an effective presentation.”
The majority of the commit-
tee agreed, voting to defer con-
sideration until the first council
meeting in the new year, set for
Jan. 21.
“I barely had time to consid-
er the report myself,” Ward 2
Regional Councillor Mark
Officer had
‘opinion’,

Crown
Hadley inquest
continues in Toronto
DURHAM —An assistant
Crown attorney didn’t think it
was relevant for a court to know
about a police officer’s warning
of possible “dire consequences”
to Gillian Hadley if her husband
was released on bail, an inquest
into their murder-suicide has
heard.
“There was an opinion,”
Frank Giordano testified Mon-
day about a written report he re-
ceived from Durham Regional
Police Detective Constable
Cheryl Carter that formed part
of the documents he was exam-
ining before Ralph Hadley’s bail
hearing Feb. 28, 2000.
“But there was nothing of an
evidentiary value,” he said under
cross-examination by Geri San-
son, lawyer for the Ontario As-
sociation of Interval and Transi-
tion Houses.
Four months after the bail
hearing, Mr. Hadley broke into
his estranged wife’s home and
shot her in the head with an ille-
gally obtained handgun, shoot-
ing himself moments later.

dren who attend nightly martial arts
classes.
He noted the parlours have a reputa-
tion for “unsavoury characters... not
necessarily the kind of people you want
running around with your children,” he
said in an interview Wednesday. “Half
of my adult students are women, there
to learn self-defence skills. Ironically,
one of the things I teach is to avoid un-
safe environments. If they allow these
body rub parlours, my place of business
and the parking lot, (could) become an
unsafe environ-
ment.”
Mr. Jardine
said there are also
other youth- and
church-oriented
businesses in the
business park.
“Although the
City can’t deny
the application
based on morals,
if the business is
putting children
in danger, the
City should deny
it on the basis of
safety for our
kids,” he said.
However,
when the City
passed its body
rub parlour bylaw
last October forc-
ing the establish-
ments to obtain
City licensing
and restricting
them to a small
industrial zone,
the Squires Busi-
ness Park was in-
cluded in that
area.
Regardless,
Coun. McLean
said, he would
not be supporting
the application
when it comes
before council in
the near future.
“There is too
many family-
types of business
in that plaza,” he
said.

DURHAM —A young Oshawa
mother detailed to jurors last week a
horrifying 10-day kidnapping ordeal
that included being continuously as-
saulted with knives, rocks and sticks and
beaten in a forest until she passed out in
a creek.
Prosecutors contend Danielle Bon-
gard, a 20-year-old mother of two, was
taken from her Linden Court townhouse
May 3, 2000 by ex-boyfriend Dwayne
Kevin George, 21, of Pickering, with
help from his friends.
Ms. Bongard said last Friday Mr.
George confronted her in her residence
around supper
hour, kicked her
in the head and
ripped out her
pierced eyebrow
ring.
“It started
bleeding every-
where,” she testi-
fied.
Ms. Bongard
said Mr. George
took her to the
washroom and
shaved her head,
and at some point
a second man ap-
peared from her
bedroom closet.
She said the
men led her to a
van outside, dri-
ven by a third
man. During the
ride Mr. George
punched her in
the head and back
a few times and
questioned her
about “whether I
had cheated on
him while he was
in jail.”
Later, Mr.
George and the
man who had
been inside her
house brandished
large butcher
knives, Ms. Bon-
gard testified.
“He (Mr.
George) was ask-
ing me some
questions, putting
it (the tip of the
blade) in my
mouth and my
face so I would
answer him,” she
said.
Mr. George
and Ms. Bongard
were dropped off
behind a school in
Scarborough at
which time Ms.
Bongard was told
to walk into the
forest.
“He kept ask-
ing me if I cheat-
ed on him and I
said ‘no’. He just
kept punching me in the face,” she said.
“I told him not to hit me anymore,
my head was hurting,” she said.
“He asked me something else and he
hit me and then I blacked out.”
When Ms. Bongard regained con-
sciousness, she said she was lying in a
creek crying and Mr. George was with
two men, one masked.
“One of them asked (Mr. George)
what he wanted him to do with me and
(Mr. George) said ‘Just don’t hit her in
the head,” Ms. Bongard testified.
“Then they started beating on me, the
guy whose face I couldn’t see and the
guy who was in the closest... One of
them was trying to break my nose.”
Then, Ms. Bongard said, they started
hitting her with sticks and rocks.
“They were throwing them and hit-
ting my legs,” she told the jury.
During the beating she said Mr.
George was “just standing there”.
After the attack she washed the blood
off her face in the creek, she said.
When asked about her condition, Ms.
Bongard responded, “badly beaten up.
Very sore, my legs were swollen and I
had marks all over my body.”
Mr. George faces numerous charges,
including assault with a weapon, kid-
napping, confinement, threatening and
causing bodily harm.
Jason Brown-Campbell, 19, of Scar-
borough, is charged with kidnapping,
break and enter, assault and weapons of-
fences, while Jerome Jefferson Brown,
20, also of Scarborough, is charged with
assault causing bodily harm.
All three have pleaded not guilty.
Ms. Bongard said the day before the
ordeal began she and Mr. George had an
argument and he held her head under
burning hot water in the shower.
From May 4 to May 13, 2000 Ms.
Bongard said she was moved from
motel to motel.
Eventually Mr. George took her to
Montreal, where police found her
crouched in a hotel closet, her body cov-
ered in cuts and bruises.
She said Mr. George, who was
watching television when police en-
tered,forced her to spend the night in the
closet “because I wouldn’t eat plastic”.
Court heard two months prior to the
alleged kidnapping, a fire ruled as arson
destroyed Ms. Bongard’s apartment.
Soon after, Mr. George was arrested
after she gave a sworn police statement
saying he threatened to kill her, and had
killed her cat.
But Ms. Bongard later recanted the
statement, court was told.

Holland said in an interview follow-

“With its 200-odd pages and only
two business days to look it over, it
was not realistic to expect the report
to be voted on.”
The Liverpool South area detailed
review, almost two years in the mak-
ing, was presented at Monday night’s

The study es-
tablishes a Great

and calls for di-
viding the Liv-

include a parcel

dential uses
where the Pick-

taxpayers so it’s not as severe as the di-
rector of finance’s projections from
2001.”
Last year, as the City faced with the
reality of its first big hike in 10 years,
Coun. Brenner tried to implement a
guideline for staff to limit the increase.
Council voted against his motion,
with most councillors not wanting to
implement guidelines without a break-
down of departmental expenditures in
their hands first.
“I would like to raise the issue of
guidelines again because it would give
staff a better head start in their budget-
ing,” he said. “It’s in the best interest of
the public to have realistic guidelines as
a starting point for staff to budget with.”
Regardless of guidelines, Coun.
Brenner said staff and council definitely
have a tough job ahead of them with this
year’s budget.
“It’s not going to be a simple budget
and we have to prioritize,” he said.
“There’s no room for anyone’s Christ-
mas wish list and we’re going to have to
be very creative to minimize the impact
on taxpayers.”
While Coun. Brenner would like to
see continued funding and expansion of
the City’s new waste diversion pilot pro-
gram, which he noted is currently show-
ing an outstanding 70 per cent diversion
rate, both he and Mr. Paterson agree the
budget will have to address the need for
new ice rinks in Pickering, which could
come with a $3-million price tag.
Mr. Paterson said a new firehouse in
Brougham was supposed to be a part of
the budget, but Coun. Brenner said he
doesn’t necessarily see that as a reality.
However, both agreed the City has
some infrastructure funding issues and
should look to pay down some of its
debt.
Meanwhile, Mr. Paterson is not con-
vinced the one-time only payment from
Confederation Life will be the answer
to the City’s need for revenues to cover
all those expenditures, and since the GO
Transit money is held at Durham, he
said the Region determines where the
money goes, meaning it won’t necessar-
ily be a part of the City’s 2002 budget.
“It’s not going to be a rubber-stamp
budget, far from it,” said Coun. Brenner.
He added with the recent economic
woes felt across the continent,“We need
to be cautious of passing on costs to tax-
payers and be sensitive to the fact that
people can’t take a hit considering the
economic tailspin we’re in.”
Although they are only looking at
projections and no numbers are final-
ized just yet, Mr. Paterson said taxpay-
ers could count on one thing.
“Small increases in inflation, small
salary increases, 10 years of small in-
creases in service levels and 10 years of
wear and tear on the City’s infrastruc-
ture. The City needs a new coat of
paint,” he said. “It’s really too early to
tell, but a zero-percent tax increase, I
can’t see that.”
As the budget process continues, it
remains to be seen exactly how hard
property owners in Pickering will be hit.
However, Coun. Brenner is hoping
the “extra dollars that come in should
put us in a little better shape”.

Start at the beginning: Before you leave the house, be
aware of the weather conditions. Check the forecast if you’re
driving any sort of distance, and if bad weather is on the
way, decide whether your trip is necessary. Make sure you
let others know where you are going, what roads you will
take and how long the trip should last. Pack a cellphone if
possible, and call to check in with family or friends along
your route.
Fill your tank before heading off into snowy weather. You
never know when you will need that extra gas to keep your
car warm, and engines start faster with a full tank.
If there is any precipitation coming down, keep your low-
beam headlights on, even during the day, visibility factors
can change in an instant, and it’s unwise to trust the
eyesight of the drivers around you. Car pileups occur due to
poor visibility and drivers not taking the proper precautions.
Beware of “black ice” (sometimes called “glare ice”), the
condition of a very thin layer of ice on top of the roadway. It
can seem invisible to drivers, especially at night, and go
unnoticed until the car is already spinning.
During safe driving conditions, the rule is to stay at least
two car lengths behind the car in front or you. Expand that
to three if it’s snowing, and at least four if visibility is low. Let
those behind you honk...remind yourself that you may be
saving their lives, too.
Always remember this basic lesson from Driver’s Ed:
Turn in the direction of the skid. Strangely, as ingrained a
road rule as that is, many drivers will turn against the skid
in a split-second of forgetfulness.
If your car has an anti-lock brake system, you’ll fare
much better on bad roads. Without anti-lock brakes, pump
the pedal gently several times before going into a turn, and
before stopping completely at a stop sign or light.
The following are some live-saving tips on what to do
when trapped by a winter storm:
• Stay in the car, unless help is plainly visible within 100
years. Blowing and drifting snow can easily disorient you
and put you in peril.
• Display a trouble sign, in the absence of one, raise the
hood and tie a colored cloth on the antenna.
• Turn on the car engine for about 10 minutes each hour,
turning on the heater and dome light when the car is
running. Make sure that your exhaust pipe is not buried in
snow or clogged! Open a window slightly for ventilation
when the car is running.
• Clap hands and move your arms and legs occasionally.
Don’t stay in one position too long. If there is more than one
person in the car, take turns sleeping while the other
monitors the situation.

Hadley conduct had ‘cat and mouse’ quality
AJAX —Local resi-
dents are invited to learn the
basics of well water at an
upcoming free information
session.
The Durham Region
Health Department seminar
offers the fundamentals of
owning and operating a pri-
vate well system Thursday,
Nov. 29 from 7 to 8 p.m. at
the Rotary Park Pavilion in
Ajax.
Public health inspectors
will answer questions and
provide resource materials
for use at home, as well as
offer a short slide presenta-
tion on the proper operation
and maintenance of a pri-
vate water system.
Residents are encour-
aged to arrive early, as seat-
ing is limited and on a first-
come, first-served basis.

Well water seminar Thursday
At the February bail hearing,
Mr. Hadley was facing charges of
criminal harassment and breaching
two previous court orders to keep
the peace and not contact his wife.
Det. Const. Carter’s report to
the Crown indicated a “cat and
mouse” quality to Mr. Hadley’s
treatment of his wife.
He had been released in the past
and shown “a flagrant disrespect”
for the law, the officer wrote.
She concluded he was “ab-
solutely” likely to reoffend, “pos-
sibly with dire consequences”
given his past behaviour, “his ob-
session with the victim” and his
medication for depression.
Ms. Sanson suggested Det.
Const. Carter was providing a risk
assessment on Mr. Hadley, as rec-
ommended by federal guidelines
on criminal harassment.
But Mr. Giordano disagreed.
“Constable Carter’s opinion was of
interest”, but an individual’s opin-
ion is of no significance to a court,
he said.
In previous testimony, he said
Det. Const. Carter would not have
been accepted as an expert witness
by the presiding justice of the
peace on Mr. Hadley’s likelihood
of reoffending.
The inquest before coroner
Bonita Porter continues today.

Where to Turn When
Your Home Doesn’t Sell
DURHAM REGION – If your home
has just come off the market and hasn’t
sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason
your home did not sell may have nothing
to do with your home or the market. In
reality, your home may have been one of
the more desirable properties for sale.
So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell?
Last year many of the homes listed for
sale never sold at all, and many sellers
found that there was a tremendous
amount a homeowner needed to be
educated on to sell their home for top
dollar in the shortest time period.
Don’t risk making the wrong choices
and losing both time and money on your
investment. Before you hire a realtor,
know the right questions to ask to save
you time and money.
Industry experts have prepared a free
special report called “How to Sell a
House that Didn’t sell” which educates
you on the issues involved.
To hear a brief recorded message
about how to order your free copy of
this report, call 1-800-515-1698 and
enter ID # 1012. You can call any time, 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. Call now to
make sure your home sells the next time
you list it for sale.

The biggest question in the race
for Ontario premier is whether any-
one has a chance against Ernie
Eves and his gang of heavy-
weights. The answer is yes, al-
though probably not a large one.
The former deputy premier and
finance minister, who many senior
Progressive Conservatives coaxed
back from business to run, is indis-
putably the front-runner because he
has appeal in his own right as a
manager and speaker and has a
huge, even intimidating, portion of
the party hierarchy supporting him.
Mr. Eves has started with 14 of
20 available cabinet ministers
backing him, more support from
big names than any candidate for
premier has had in 30 years.
But it is still no certainty Mr.
Eves has the race wrapped up. So
many top Tories have endorsed Mr.
Eves that many of the party rank
and file, who will choose the new
premier, may feel the establish-
ment has designated him as its can-
didate and is pushing him on them.
Some will resent the party’s
upper crust telling them who to
choose at any time, but particularly
when the government has done
such a poor job recently it is strug-
gling 20 per cent behind the Liber-
als in polls.
Tory rank and file were never al-
lowed to express their opinions to
the outside world under Premier
Mike Harris, who held all their de-
bates on policies behind closed
doors in case any contrary views
slipped out. Many may feel this is
an opportunity to have a say they
cannot ignore.
Some in the grassroots will have
concerns about whether Mr. Eves
is committed enough to be premier.
He handled his ministry with ease
because he has skills, but was
something of a dilettante, absent
from his office, the legislature and
his riding so often local media
protested. He then found cash more
alluring.
Mr. Eves had no thought of run-
ning, as he has said, until friends
urged him, but governing the
province in an economic downturn
and keeping the Tories in power
will take huge enthusiasm and
work.
Some may also wonder if Mr.
Eves is too old. He is 55 and will be
57 at the time of the next election
and 61 in an election after that. No
rivals would dare say he is too old
because many people have huge
successes in all walks of life at that
age and older.
Some of those older successful
politicians include 67-year-old
Prime Minister Jean Chretien. Mr.
Eves’s opponents would also not
want to risk offending seniors and
their votes.
But Ontario has a recent tradi-
tion of younger, which sometimes
seems more vigorous, premiers.
Mr. Harris was 50 when he became
premier and Bob Rae, David Peter-
son and William Davis were in
their early 40s. Frank Miller, an ex-
ception who became premier at 57,
was quickly trounced, although for
a lot of reasons other than age.
Mr. Eves also is a contemporary
of and only a year younger than
Mr. Harris, who has decided it is
time to go.
Younger Tories are calling for
the party to continue “generational
change”, passing on leadership to a
younger generation, so Mr. Eves’s
age will be on some minds.
Some rank and file will worry
Ernie Eves from Parry Sound has
become too much of a city slicker
and out of place with them and
their thinking at backyard barbe-
cues since he took a $1.2-million-
a-year job with a financial compa-
ny in Toronto. No black-tie event in
Toronto would be complete with-
out him.
Mr. Eves has recognized this
danger by saying while he likes
Bay Street, he has always felt more
comfortable on Main Street. How-
ever, he looked at home on Bay
until the premier’s office became
available.
Mr. Eves’s coalition of heavy
hitters looks impressive, but some
are attracted to him for other rea-
sons than feeling he is best quali-
fied and have their own separate
agendas. It is a bit like the Northern
Alliance.
His two most prominent sup-
porters, Education Minister Jan
Ecker and Municipal Affairs Min-
ister Chris Hodgson, would run
themselves, but recognize they
cannot beat Mr. Eves and, as the
oldest candidate, he would leave
politics sooner than others at a time
when they will still be young
enough to try for leader.
They and their key supporters
will not work for Mr. Eves to win
quite as enthusiastically as they
would have pushed on their own
behalf, which means some of Mr.
Eves’s support is soft.
Powerful Tories in any case will
find it more difficult to steer votes
behind a candidate because all
party members will vote, and in
their ridings, instead of each riding
sending a handful of delegates to a
convention where they can be more
easily swayed. So Mr. Eves’s
friends will not have as much influ-
ence as their titles would suggest.
Can anyone beat Ernie Eves?
Yes, if concerns about his dedication to job come to the fore
In all the time the Tories have been in power, they’ve never
received as much mail in support of a cause as they did for
Durham’s brand new university, the Ontario Institute of Tech-
nology (OIT).
If there’s a message here, it’s this: listen to the people.
Clearly, there’s a need for a new university in this
province, the first to be built in Ontario since the 1960s. Over
the past three decades Ontario has grown by millions while
the Region of Durham has more than doubled in population
with a further doubling expected by 2020. Students here de-
serve a university to call their own.
In a new millennium with challenges we can only guess at
from this vantage point, a university built to meet the promise
of a new day is absolutely ideal. And what could be better
than the model proposed by Durham College president Gary
Polonsky?
The aspect of sharing resources, including some buildings,
administration and faculty and the opportunity for students to
take college and university courses at the same campus to earn
a combined degree/diploma is brilliant. It’s so groundbreak-
ing some may be suspicious of its workability. But it’s the
kind of approach students have wanted over the past three
decades. How many students have gone off to college or uni-
versity to earn a degree or diploma only to supplement their
education years later with a return to post-secondary school-
ing. With OIT and Durham College side by side, students will
now have the opportunity they’ve always dreamed of.
With a combined Grade 12/OAC class graduating in June
2003, the time couldn’t be better for OIT. Scheduled to open
its doors in September 2003, the university is ideally situated
to offer high school graduates from around Ontario and across
the country a brand new learning experience. If Durham Col-
lege’s level of success with student and employer satisfaction
is the yardstick — the college consistently rates near or at the
top in ratings among Ontario’s community colleges — OIT
will be a smash hit.
Rapid passage through the legislature is needed so students
can apply to and attend OIT in September 2003. The intro-
duction of the legislation on Tuesday is a welcome event.
The money needed to create OIT has been set aside. The
government, in Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s budget
speech this past May, has committed itself to the institution.
Now, all we must do is finish the job by making sure the
legislation passes during the next few weeks.
Brace yourselves.
That could well be the motto on municipal property tax
brochures in the coming weeks as treasury departments in
Ajax and Pickering dive into the heart of the annual bud-
getary process.
Tax hikes were the order of the season last spring as Pick-
ering and Ajax emerged from years of near-zero hikes on the
municipal portion of the tax bill. Durham’s portion of the tax
bill had also followed a flat line throughout the mid-1990s
before going up substantially in 2001 as well.
Already, citizens are being warned early more of the same
can be expected in 2002.
It’s not that municipal and regional leaders are squander-
ing your hard-earned dollars. It’s not that they are building
monuments to themselves. It’s not even a case of being
caught off guard when it came to fiscal management.
Simply put, many of the ‘chickens’set aside in the 1990s
(roads projects, new facilities, expanded services) are now
coming home to roost. Older roads today are in greater need
of repair; residential growth has spurred demand for new or
additional services; projects left on the sidelines now require
implementation to be managed effectively
So, while we expect to see some impact of all that on our
tax bills next year, we also remind civic leaders to remain vig-
ilant in finding efficiencies, to be ruthless in cutting where
cuts are necessary, and always with a view to the bottom line.
Solid leadership, strong fiscal management and a keen eye
to the future will help reduce the tax burden. Ajax and Pick-
ering residents expect nothing less of their elected officials.

Tories have
brought
‘nonsense’ to
health system
To the editor:
Re: ‘It all comes down to health
care,’editorial, Nov. 25.
I think it is time to stop bash-
ing the federal government over
health care, while exonerating
the sins of the provinces, espe-
cially Ontario.
The Province’s focus over the
last six years has been toward a
two-tier system.
It never did get its priorities
straight in the first place, and is
still grappling with the chaos
that resulted.
Queen’s Park paid little atten-
tion to the experiences of doctors
and nurses and was unwilling to
interpret their needs with any de-
gree of intelligence. As a result,
judgements made regarding
health care in Ontario were un-
reasonable and distorted and the
whole exercise has resulted in a
deterioration of health services.
Such judgments, in my opin-
ion, lack any of the common
sense the Tories are so keen to
promote, resulting in common
nonsense. Maybe it is time to un-
load the Tories.

Get a second
opinion on this
medical advice
To the editor:
Re: ‘We have to be tough to take
on the terrorists,’ W. Gifford
Jones column, Nov. 25.
This advice is irresponsible at
best and reveals an ignorance in
the understanding by a physician
of the nature and treatment of
depression that I find shocking
in this day and age.
Regardless of the contributing
factors to the emergence of a sig-
nificant mood disorder, patients
deserve the compassion and the
knowledge of a skilful profes-
sional, and the appropriate med-
ications, in the management of
their problem.
To hear a message they just
have to toughen up is a great dis-
service to them, and in some cir-
cumstances, a greater danger
than anything a terrorist could
likely do.
To sensationally use the
tragedy of recent events to show-
case his dismissive approach to
mental illness is beyond bad
taste.
Urging people to “stop swal-
lowing antidepressants” shows
poor medical judgment. I urge
all people to ignore everything
he has advised and put his col-
umn in the bottom of their bird-
cages, where at least it will serve
some useful purpose. And, to Dr.
Gifford-Jones, my prescription
to you is to remember, “...above
all, do no harm”.

DIL Line 3 workers
In February 1940, two surveyors came to a farming
area in Pickering Township. Within a year, 2,800
acres of land had to be expropriated and the largest
shell-filling plant in the British Empire had been built.
At peak production, the munitions plant operated by
Defence Industries Limited (DIL) would have 9,000
employees, the majority of whom were women. The
area, which was bordered by Hwy. 401, Lake Ontario,
Duffins Creek and Pickering Beach Road, would later
be named Ajax.

Learning the true value of compost
Montreal was the ‘hot spot’ last
week for an amazing amount of infor-
mation sharing during the Composting
Council of Canada’s annual confer-
ence.
Speakers and delegates discussed a
wide range of topics, including early
education at day care centres, uses for
compost, and new composting facili-
ties with all the latest technical re-
search and regulations. As we learn
more about large-scale composting,
the momentum continues to build.
Early American presidents appreci-
ated the fertile land they inherited and
sent many official letters regarding its
preservation through composting.
When one understands and shares the
benefits of compost, it is amazing we
ever allowed this knowledge to de-
cline.
At long last we are taking the or-
ganics out of the waste stream to cre-
ate a wonderful product from our re-
sources that we have become accus-
tomed to disregarding. In 1998, Nova
Scotia implemented a mandatory ban
of organics from landfill and incinera-
tion. Prince Edward Island is now
doing the same. Our everyday food
scraps and yard trimmings can be
turned into quality compost for many
uses, all of which benefit the soil.
One major area outlined at the con-
ference, by speaker Rod Tyler, is the
success of compost and composted
mulch in erosion control projects in
the United States. This is creating ex-
citement among state and local depart-
ments of transportation, construction
companies, landfill managers and con-
tractors.
A blanket of compost, applied to a
slope, will offer stabilization and con-
trol erosion. When compost is proper-
ly installed in long-filter berms, it has
been shown to work better than silt
fences in keeping both suspended and
settleable solids out of water sources
moving on the surface.
Filter berms reduce the speed of
water flowing on a slope, which
reduces the speed of soil parti-
cles tumbling down. Organic
materials in compost help water
infiltrate the soil underneath,
which is crucial to new
seedling germination when
vegetation needs to be estab-
lished on slopes.
Other information states ef-
ficient composting likely gen-
erates less greenhouse gases
than landfilling the same mate-
rial. By diverting waste from
landfills, there is a reduction of
methane gas emissions, nitro-
gen dioxide emissions (since
compost use reduces the need
for fertilizers), and a reduction
in carbon dioxide emissions,
since compost use increases
soil moisture retention and thus
reduces the amount of energy
needed for irrigation.
A college professor stated,
“I have a vision, and that is to
see compost on the stock ex-
change.”
After four days in Montreal
with the best of the best, I be-
lieve his vision has merit.
The Composting Council of
Canada will present sessions on
‘composting technologies and
practices’ and ‘markets for
compost’at the Canadian Waste
and Recycling Expo today
(Wednesday) and tomorrow at
the International Centre. To
register, call 1-877-226-5355.

Young Jen
Beckberger seizes
attention of
international
swimming world
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
AJAX —An Ajax teen
emerged as one of Cana-
da’s top swimmers after
making a big splash in Ed-
monton last weekend.
Ajax Aquatic Club’s Jen
Beckberger, 15, swam the
race of her life at the FINA
World Cup II event, which
attracted swimmers from
30 countries, including
many of the top athletes
from the U.S., Australia,
Great Britain, Brazil, Ger-
many and Russia.
Thinking only of post-
ing personal-best times in
her three events — the 50-
metre freestyle, the 50m
breaststroke and the 100m
individual medley — prior
to the Canadian leg of the
World Cup circuit, Beck-
berger went far beyond
those expectations, espe-
cially in the 50m free.
In fact, she qualified to
compete in the 50m free fi-
nals after finishing sixth in
the prelims, breaking a
long-standing Ajax Aquat-
ic Club record in the
process.
On the finals starting
block as the only swimmer
not a member of a national
team and the youngest in
the race by two years,
Beckberger pulled off an
astounding sixth-place fin-
ish in her first internation-
al meet.
She swam the final in
25.95 seconds, making her
the fastest 15-year-old in
the world and Canada this
year in the 50m free. She
also broke her own club
record set earlier in the
prelims.
For Beckberger, the
meet was both exciting and
challenging and definitely
the highlight of her young
swimming career to date.
“It was amazing. I did-
n’t think I was going to
make finals, but I did,”
Beckberger said in an in-
terview Monday.
She noted her confi-
dence grew considerably
after the 50m prelims, but
she was still justifiably
nervous prior to the start of
the final.
“I was just praying that
I didn’t come last,” she re-
called.
Beckberger also swam
to a new club record in the
50m breast. In the 100m
IM, she swam a personal
best time while placing
13th.
Beckberger will join the
Ajax club’s senior and ju-
nior swimmers at the Que-
bec provincial champi-
onships in Montreal in
three weeks.
The meet will serve as
preparation for her next
big competition — the ju-
nior nationals in British
Columbia in February.
Three other club mem-
bers also competed at
World Cup II. Heather
Crowdis had her best ever
meet, swimming personal
best times in all three of
her events — 50m free,
100m butterfly and 50m
butterfly. Her 50m fly time
broke the club record held
by Adrienne Karney since
1999.
Devon Ackroyd faced
tough competition at the
World Cup event. He
swam the 100m and 200m
IM and the 200m breast,
clocking personal-best
times in each.
Kelsey Nemeth repre-
sented the club in the 50m
free, 200m back and 400m
free. The club did not sup-
ply her results.

Friday’s game with
St. Andrew’s will
determine southern
Ontario high
school supremacy
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —A sea-
son’s worth of sweat and toil
boils down to one game for
the St. Mary Catholic Sec-
ondary School Monarchs
football team.
The 11-0 Monarchs take
direct aim at southern On-
tario football supremacy, not
to mention an undefeated
season, when they run out
on SkyDome’s artificial turf
in the Golden Horseshoe
Bowl final against the 9-0
St. Andrew’s College Saints
of Aurora Friday at 7:15
p.m.
St. Mary enters the cham-
pionship game as the num-
ber-two ranked team after
downing the third-ranked
Waterdown Warriors 28-14
in a bowl semifinal game at
York University Saturday af-
ternoon. Number-one St.
Andrew’s crushed fourth-
ranked St. Michael’s Col-
lege Kerry Blues of Toronto
38-14 in the other semifinal.
Getting this far along the
march toward a Golden
Horseshoe championship
has been rewarding for the
Durham Region champs,
said head coach Gordon
Judges. But, he noted the
Monarchs are nonetheless
focused on bringing home
the big prize.
“We’re very proud to go
to SkyDome. It represents
thousands of hours, all the
man-hours of hard work and
believing in ourselves. To be
able to achieve that, it’s very
gratifying, but now we have
to focus on winning the foot-
ball game. When you’ve
come this far, you might as
well go all the way,” he said.
But, winning won’t come
easy against the top-ranked
Saints, warned Judges. The
private school comes
equipped with a high pow-
ered attack that will no
doubt give the St. Mary de-
fensive backfield fits.
“St. Andrew’s presents a
huge challenge. They have
the best high school quarter-
back in Canada and they
have five or six very fast and
talented receivers who’ll be
playing on a fast track with
artificial turf,” he explained.
Judges said his defensive
backs must provide good
coverage downfield and the
rest of his defence must put
constant pressure on St. An-
drew’s Saints pivot Michael
Faulds, distracting him just
enough to prevent him from
effectively running his of-
fensive scheme.
As for the St. Mary of-
fence, Judges is convinced
the unit can hold its own
against any high school
squad.
“I’m confident we can
score points but, again, it’s
going to take a total team ef-
fort to win,” he said.
A total team effort is
what paved the way for the
semifinal win over Water-
down. Trailing 14-0 after
two Warriors offensive pos-
sessions, the Monarchs’ de-
fence tightened up consider-
ably the rest of the way,
bending but not breaking,
including stopping the War-
riors cold on a goal-line
stand late in the game.
Meanwhile, the St. Mary
offence rode the arm of tal-
ented Grade 10 quarterback
Erik Glavic to four consecu-
tive touchdowns through the
air to pull out the victory.
The Monarchs led 21-14 at
halftime.
Two of the touchdown
passes found receiver Ryan
D’Souza, while James
Judges and Sasha Glavic
pulled in one apiece.
Kicker Dane Okrasa was
good on all four convert at-
tempts.
“They pretty much shut
down our run, but we
thought they could be ex-
ploited in their secondary,”
said Judges. “Our offensive
line gave (Glavic) plenty of
time to throw the football
and our receivers did a fabu-
lous job of getting open.”
Being a relative underdog
in Friday’s bowl showdown
makes little difference, said
Judges.
“I think we would play as
hard even if we were ranked
number-one,” he said. “Our
trademark has always been
just to play hard.”

Pickering juniors
whip Waxers, lose
another one
to St. Mike’s
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING — There
was some good news and
some bad news on the week-
end for the Pickering Boyer
Pontiac Panthers junior ‘A’
hockey team.
The good news was the
Panthers travelled to
Markham Friday night for a
game versus the third-place
Waxers and skated away with
a well-earned 6-2 victory in
OHA Ontario Provincial Ju-
nior ‘A’ Hockey League play.
The bad news came two
nights later in Toronto against
the St. Michael Buzzers, who
beat the Panthers 4-2 Sunday
night for a sixth consecutive
time this season.
Sunday’s contest ended a
one-sided season series be-
tween the Panthers and the
Buzzers with the St. Mike’s
squad winning all six meet-
ings. If there’s a silver lining,
at least the Buzzers won’t
have the Panthers to kick
around for the remainder of
regular-season play.
The Buzzers were quick
out of the starting gate, scor-
ing twice in the first period
and then upped their lead to
4-0 after 40 minutes of play.
The Panthers finally got
rolling in the third period,
scoring twice in what was too
little too late for a comeback
against the powerhouse St.
Mike’s squad.
“We tightened up in the
third period, but it was too
late,” notes Panthers’ head
coach Bill Purcell.
Paul McFarland and Kyle
Aitken scored for the Pan-
thers in the losing cause. As-
sisting were Dan Schofield,
Alex Pavloski, Jay Grant and
Dave Tonkin.
The Buzzers outshot the
Panthers 34-24.
The Panthers got a little
help from their friends Friday
night in Markham. Their
friends in this case was the
team’s affiliate, the
Schomberg Cougars of the ju-
nior ‘C’ loop, that loaned the
Panthers forwards Darryl
Healy, Ken Hamilton and
Steve Reid for the contest.
Healy came up with a big
performance, scoring two
unassisted markers in the
contest, which helped the
Panthers nail down the impor-
tant win over the host Waxers.
It was the second time a
Schomberg player has con-
tributed a two-goal game after
being called up by the Pan-
thers. Forward Ken Hamilton
turned in a two-goal effort
earlier in the season.
“The kids gave us a lift,”
says Purcell, referring to the
three junior ‘C’ call-ups.
But, the prime reason for
the big win over Markham
was the Panthers’ smothering
team defence, which kept the
Waxers off balance through-
out the contest.
“From the goaltender out
we played well. We didn’t
give them a chance to do any-
thing. We didn’t give their
forwards a chance to get any-
thing going,” notes Purcell.
The Panthers led start to
finish against the Waxers,
leading 3-1 after the first peri-
od and then maintaining their
two-goal cushion after 40
minutes, leading 4-2. The
Pickering juniors scored two
more in the final frame to
earn their 10th win of the sea-
son.
Also scoring for Pickering

PICKERING —The St. Mary Mon-
archs received an unexpected emo-
tional lift early in the fourth quarter of
Saturday’s Golden Horseshoe Bowl
semifinal against the Waterdown War-
riors.
Early in the quarter, injured St.
Mary player Myron D’Costa made his
way into the York University stands in
a wheelchair with the aid of his par-
ents. Spectators and
even some of the
players chanted
‘Myron, Myron’ in ho-
nour of the player in-
jured earlier this
month on the last play of the game in
the Lake Ontario Secondary School
Athletics (LOSSA) football final in Os-
hawa.
D’Costa, after several minutes of
lying motionless on the field, initially
unable to move his arms and legs fol-
lowing the devastating hit by a Whitby
Henry Street Hawks player, was later
taken by ambulance to hospital. He’s
been convalescing since then and
Monarchs’ head coach Gordon Judges
his condition continues to improve.
The emotional lift provided by D’-
Costa’s presence at the crucial game
helped the Monarchs survive a late-
game scare by the Warriors as the St.
Mary defence thwarted a goal-line
stand.
“It was so emotional,” said Judges.
“They even sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to
him after the game. Saturday was his
birthday. It was very emotional for
everyone.”
•••
The Monarchs had a touchdown
called back in the fourth quarter of
Saturday’s semifinal. Fullback Dane
Okrasa had found the end zone, only
to have the play called back as offi-
cials ruled the
whistle was
blown before he
crossed the
goal line.
“He blew
the whistle for
some unknown
reason,” said
Judges. “But,
you can’t fight
city hall.”
•••
A berth in a
southern On-
tario high
school football
final is definite-
ly uncharted
territory for
Ajax and Pick-
ering schools.
Only one other
football team in
recent memory
has gone as
far. The Picker-
ing High School
Trojans met the
Central Tech
Blues from
Toronto in the
Metro Bowl fi-
nals in the late
1980s, only to
lose in an ex-
cruciating man-
ner. After lead-
ing most of the
game, the Tro-
jans were beat-
en on a ‘Hail
Mary’ pass on
the last play of
the game.
•••
At least one
member of the
Monarchs is no
stranger to big
games. St.
Mary head
coach Gordon
Judges played
in six Grey Cup
games during
his 15-year ca-
reer in the
Canadian Foot-
ball League
with the Mon-
treal Alouettes
and Toronto
Argonauts. He
won Grey Cups
with the Alou-
ettes in 1970,
1974 and 1977.
Judges is in
his second sea-
son as head
coach of the
Monarchs, tak-
ing his team
within a game
of the Metro
Bowl final a
year ago. Last
year, St. Mary
was upended
by a strong
Notre Dame
Fighting Irish
squad from
Burlington in
the semifinals.

Anyone
wishing to go to
SkyDome in
Toronto for Fri-
day’s bowl final
can purchase
tickets at the
St. Mary
school’s main
office during of-
fice hours all
week.
