DURHAM — The case of a
missing Scarborough toddler came
to a heartbreaking end yesterday
when police found the little girl’s
body in a wooded area of Clare-
mont.
For five hours, a team of 50 to
60 police officers from Toronto
and Durham, on foot and using po-
lice helicopter Air One and all-ter-
rain vehicles, combed a six square
kilometre rural section of the re-
gion for any sign of two-year-old
Alexis Currie.
Police said a child’s body was
found just after noon southeast of
Brock Road and Pickering
Uxbridge Town Line. Police
would not pinpoint the exact loca-
tion but said she was discovered in
a forest near two large ponds and
some homes.
“I’m deeply saddened to say at
12:06 (p.m.) a search team located
the body of a young child believed
(to be) that of Alexis Currie,” said
Staff Inspector Bruce Smollet of
the Toronto Police Service.
“This is a devastating piece of
news.”
Earlier in the day, Staff Insp.
Smollet told dozens of reporters
gathered at a command post at the
Claremont Community Centre po-
lice were holding out hope, but
were also being realistic.
Throughout the previous night,
Toronto officers planned the hunt
for the toddler who was last seen
Friday after her father picked up
her and her four-year-old sister
Robyn at a community access cen-
tre in Scarborough for a custodial
visit. The man returned Robyn to
her grandparent’s house Sunday,
but did not bring back Alexis.
Toronto police arrested Peter
Currie at a Kingston Road motel
Sunday night and charged him
with abduction, carrying a con-
cealed weapon and possession of a
dangerous weapon.
Mr. Currie, who had refused to
co-operate initially with the hunt
for Alexis, was brought to the
search area early Thursday morn-
ing. It’s not clear whether he led
police to the body.
Toronto officers, including
members of the homicide unit, ear-
lier this week searched Bluffers
Park at the base of the Scarbor-
ough bluffs for clues, later broad-
ening their scope from Whitby to
Mississauga.
On Tuesday afternoon, Toronto
police requested Durham’s assis-
tance through the use of the force’s
helicopter, Air One, to scour the
lakeshore in the area of Markham
and Brimley roads. Meanwhile,
police asked residents living near
Lake Ontario between Scarbor-
ough and Whitby to check their
backyards for signs of Alexis.
Late Wednesday night, Toronto
police received information from
“a credible source” that prompted
them to narrow their search to a
specific area of Durham.
After they found the toddler’s
body, police said the investigation
had “moved into another phase”.
As of the News Advertiser’s dead-
line, police had not laid charges in
connection with her death.
A post-mortem on the girl’s
body is scheduled for today in
Toronto.

DURHAM —Justice will soon
have a new alternative in Durham
now that a local group has been
awarded the opportunity to establish
a community media-
tion service.
Community Jus-
tice Alternatives of
Durham Region
(CJA) will receive
provincial funding
to train up to 30
local mediator vol-
unteers, hire a half-
time staff person for
two years and estab-
lish a centre to deal
with neighbour,
family, organization-
al and other dis-
putes.
“This will be a
community-based
program to look
after disputes,” said
Christy Conte, CJA
past-president and
20-year member of
the board. “A lot of
times when deci-
sions are handed
down by the justice
system people feel
slighted — we will
help mend fences.
With mediation
there is not a tradi-
tional winner and
loser... a mediator
can help both sides
come to an agree-
ment they both can
live with.”
Ms. Conte said
once volunteer train-
ing is complete, po-
lice and municipal
bylaw officers will
be referring cases of
neighbours’ fight-
ing, noise com-
plaints, landlord and
tenant disputes,
child and school is-
sues and others to
the centre.
“Many of the dis-
putes being referred
to the police and
municipalities
would be better dealt
with by third parties
trained in conflict
resolution. Once the
city or police be-
come involved, the
problem usually es-
calates and becomes
more expensive for
everyone both in
dollar terms and
time invested,” she
explained.
Along with the
CJA, Ms. Conte said
Pickering Regional
Councillor Maurice
Brenner helped
spearhead the initia-
tive.
Coun. Brenner,
who works as a me-
diator outside his
duties as a council-
lor, said the process
could be an effective
substitute to adding
to the existing back-
log within the court
system.
“When it comes to enforcement
there’s always a winner and a loser
and the legal answer isn’t necessari-
ly the best answer,” he added. “A
mediator can work out a compro-
mise.”
Ms. Conte said mediation ser-
vices would be free to Durham resi-
dents and Coun. Brenner added par-
ticipants do not waive their right to
go the legal route if community res-
olution doesn’t work for them.
Ms. Conte added the mediation
centre would open in late summer
or early fall, after which the group
will have approximately two years
to find revenue sources to keep the
project rolling. Anyone interested in
contributing to the centre can call
CJA executive director Susette Clu-
nis at 905-420-2401.

Board faces costs, lots
of paperwork for checks
Background reports required as part of provincial act
DURHAM —Criminal background
checks and other information school
boards must now collect will mean a lot
of paperwork, says John Vesters, the
Durham Catholic District School
Board’s human resources superinten-
dent.
As part of the Province’s Safe
Schools Act, designed to protect stu-
dents, boards have to require back-
ground checks from anyone who works
in a school.
And board employees who move to
another school must present an offence
declaration as an update to cover the pe-
riod following the background check.
“You can see that we will have our
hands full collecting this information
once we get rolling,” Mr. Vesters told
trustees at their March 11 board meet-
ing.
As a result of the regulation, he said
the board will have to review its con-
tracts with service providers and also
decide “which offences are completely
unacceptable” if they show up on a doc-
ument submitted by an employee.
Responding to trustees who asked
who would pay for the background
checks, education director Grant An-
drews replied the ministry has not pro-
vided any funding to cover them.

Anderson takes look back, ahead during board speech
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —While he claimed
the working relationship with Durham
MPPs is the best it has ever been, Roger
Anderson also ripped the Province this
week for failing to give municipalities
the tools they need to deal with down-
loaded services.
“Municipalities have new responsi-
bilities with no new increased authority
to generate revenues... this deal is not
working,” the regional chairman told a
small crowd of business leaders
Wednesday in his annual address to the
Ajax Pickering Board of Trade. “The
new Municipal Act does not give munic-
ipalities the tools, revenues or flexibility
to flourish in the 21st century... senior
levels of government promote partner-
ship, they talk the talk, but fail to walk
the walk.”
Mr. Anderson said the relationship
between municipalities and the Province
has never been equal, leaving the fate of
Ontario’s towns and cities up to the
whims of the provincial government and
he added provincial tax cuts often result
in tax increases from lower-tier munici-
palities.
He specifically mentioned social
housing as a downloaded responsibility
Durham is working to address, adding
he was “very concerned” about the in-
fluence the Province’s new ‘Smart
Growth’ panel would have on develop-
ment and growth in the region as only
one panel member is from Durham.
“It’s clearly western-GTA focused,”
he said.
One deal with the Province Mr. An-
derson said he would like to stick with is
building the new Hwy. 401 interchanges
at Carruthers Creek Drive in Ajax,
Stevenson Road in Oshawa and Lak-
eridge Road in Whitby.
The escalating cost of building the in-
terchanges has many regional council-
lors questioning the original open-ended
deal. However, Mr. Anderson said the
interchanges are paramount to future
economic growth in Durham and re-
gional council should not back out now.
“We can’t walk away from this deal
with the Province,” he explained.
“Whatever I can do to make sure that
deal stays together, I will do.”
But, Mr. Anderson did say if things
remain as they stand, “No other capital
projects” would go on, putting regional
roads projects back 10 years.
To combat the concern, Mr.
Anderson said he would be look-
ing for “relief” from the
Province in the form of an ex-
tended payment plan to allow the
Region to slowly pay for the in-
terchanges while continuing to
fund other Durham roads pro-
jects.
He added in Pickering, Hwy.
407, the Seaton lands, and a re-
gional reliever airport are impor-
tant issues to watch in the com-
ing months. In Ajax, shortfalls in
funding to cover the $1-million
annual cost of running the new
west Durham women’s shelter
must be made up by public fund-
raising. He also pointed out the
new University of Ontario Insti-
tute of Technology is of great im-
portance to the region, as is the
ITER international fusion re-
search project, which would give
Durham the opportunity to be-
come an “energy powerhouse in
North America”.
He noted a continued focus
on creating a regional transit sys-
tem that works for all municipal-
ities is also important and added
Durham’s large industrial tax
rate is coming down to be more
in line with other municipalities
in the Greater Toronto Area.

The Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 419 in Port Perry dropped off
a cheque for $10,000 to the hospital
foundation recently to help buy a car-
diac monitor defibrillator for the
emergency department.
A newspaper photo told the story,
a story important way beyond the ob-
vious generosity of the legion. It
makes the point our local hospitals
have been supported by the commu-
nities they serve. Fund-raising cam-
paigns have met their targets. We
have sustained our local hospitals.
We know we all need the help of
our local hospital sometime, to treat a
nasty wound, a croupy baby, or a bro-
ken hip. The hospital is an important
part of the infrastructure, the social
cement that makes our community a
good place to live.
So how come this nonsense, all of
a sudden, about curtailing services
and forcing people to go elsewhere
for care we’ve always had close to
home? There’s a deficit at Lakeridge
Health Corporation because the
provincial government no longer
sends back enough of our taxpayer
dollars to meet our basic needs. Sure,
the population has expanded and
grown older but we still pay our in-
come taxes and expect health care to
be a top priority. We didn’t tell any-
one to stop funding our hospitals.
I guess we have to raise a ruckus
to save our community hospitals that
were built when we had far fewer
disposable, discretionary dollars than
we have today. We’d better tell those
running our hospitals that these vital
facilities are not to be messed with.
When Lakeridge bureaucrats cuts
services let’s remind them those ser-
vices are the reason for the hospital
in the first place. They are not frills.
We’re not talking curtains or paint.
We’re talking about people, people
who want to know how come we
once had local hospitals where ba-
bies were born, broken limbs were
set, and a wide-range of illnesses
treated without resorting to parking
fees. Where an elderly patient could
expect to get a bed and care close to
home and the morale-building visits
of family and neighbours.
Now hospital administrators de-
mand property tax dollars and charge
parking fees.
No matter that some patients can’t
afford to park at the hospital. Too bad
if patients are told to go elsewhere
because their needs are no longer met
at the local hospital.
So again, how come we were able
to build a caring health-care system
when we were nowhere near as well
off as today? How come the hospitals
are apparently no longer ours? Is it
true we can no longer afford the hos-
pitals we helped build? Or are we
being fed a line that puts the bottom
line above our health-care needs?
Have hospitals really become too expensive?
Or is it simply a case of the bottom line being put above our health-care needs?
Cake, entertainer the
keys to party success
To the editor:
Re: ‘Oh no! It’s birthday party time again,’
opinion shaper column, March 1.
Cindy Baird’s column was right on tar-
get. My daughter is now 18 and I lived
through the development of this trend of
‘so-and-so’s daughter did that already so
what can we do to top it’horror?
Most people want their child’s parties to
be special — we started out at age one with
helium balloons (cost $50), followed at two
with a clown ($50), three was someone
dressed in a Minnie Mouse costume ($70
rental), four was a magician ($75), then on
to a ‘playland’that ran around $90.
Being a good little shopper, I started six
months ahead looking for neat goodies for
the loot bags. In my group, by 10 we finally
threw up our hands and said “We’re not
doing this anymore. We can’t beat each
other anymore.” Then came the 16th party,
which of course required something special
for the friends as well as the separate fami-
ly celebration.
For the last few years there has been a
swim party for half-a-dozen friends at
grandma’s condo, with a barbecue/mixed
party after. This year is the 19th and that will
be the real challenge — how to beat all the
other wonderful parties we’ve given.
For younger kids, the best bet is to rein-
state those home parties (much easier in the
summer) and hire an older sibling, cousin or
neighbourhood teen to run the entertain-
ment for you. I started hiring my daughter to
run her younger brother’s parties when she
was 12, and the younger kids had a wonder-
ful time with pin the tail on the donkey, pop-
ping balloons with treats inside them, and
hide and seek.
All you really need to have a great time
are a cake and someone who still has lots of
enthusiasm and energy to run the games.

To say operating a municipal government has seen better times
would be, well, grossly understating the obvious. In fact, it’s not
out of line to suggest Ontario municipalities are currently strug-
gling through their darkest days in the last decade.
Just last week Ajax approved a local tax hike of almost five per
cent, while Pickering is staring a whopping nine-per cent leap in
the face (it’s still early in the process), and the Durham portion of
property tax bills is escalating as well.
Granted there are a number of reasons for the trend upwards
the last few years. Downloading from the federal and provincial
governments has played a role, but so too have municipal politi-
cians with their past failures to identify the future pressures we’re
dealing with now.
However, at some point, passing the blame to the federal gov-
ernment or unloading on the Province gets tiresome and simply
isn’t enough. No, after years of absorbing the same old ‘it’s-some-
one-else’s-fault’ excuse, taxpayers are entitled to real solutions
and alternatives to addressing what has become a sizable munici-
pal funding void.
Already there are potential solutions afoot. Consider: Should
he become Ontario’s next premier, Ernie Eves has said he will
consider the introduction of municipal bonds, whereby local gov-
ernments can raise much needed cash for desperately neglected
infrastructure and other projects. Let’s hope Whitby-Ajax MPP
Jim Flaherty is just as receptive to the idea should he replace Mike
Harris at next weekend’s leadership convention.
Or how about Steve Parish’s call for a municipal bill of rights?
The Ajax mayor unveiled his plan last month and among the
points is more autonomy for municipalities and the elimination of
restrictions on existing revenue sources.
And it’s not just governments that have a role to play. Consid-
er the case of the group, Friends of the Ajax Public Library. With
almost $1 million raised to date toward a new central library, the
Friends proved essential to getting construction of the project well
on its way. It’s a perfect example of the real growth we can enjoy
when the community and our political leaders work together.
These are just a few examples of potential revenue generators
or avenues for savings. The possibilities are out there.
However, it’s time Mayor Parish stepped up his campaign for
a bill of rights, Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs introduced a plan
that will start reducing the heavy extra burden on his taxpayers, or
Durham Chairman Roger Anderson brought Durham’s municipal
leaders together to find ways of generating revenue and saving
taxpayers from taking a beating.
It’s time for our local leaders to step up and take charge.

hospital, have been stopped, said
Mr. Armstrong. A provincewide
estimate suggests on average
about 20 per cent of ambulance
calls are for non-urgent transfer
services, he said.
The halt in service has left
hospitals to find alternative trans-
portation for the patients affect-
ed, causing a back-up in the Ajax
hospital’s emergency depart-
ment, said Katie Cronin-Wood,
hospital spokesman. “The emer-
gency department has been im-
pacted. We have had to make
arrangements. We’re already a
very busy emergency department
and now we’re faced with having
to cope with this situation,” she
said.
“The nurses and managers are
doing their very best and have
been able to cope but it does add
another element to the depart-
ment,” says Ms. Cronin-Wood.
“It’s just added stress on an al-
ready stressful environment.”
The hospital’s emergency de-
partment was built to accommo-
date 20,000 patients a year. In
2002, it is expected to serve
40,000 patients, she says.
There may be a silver lining
however, suggests Mr. Arm-
strong. Ambulance emergency
response times are expected to
improve during the strike due to
the reduced workload.
“I think the strike will demon-
strate that if we’re not doing
these (transfer) calls our re-
sponse time will drop, which has
been the history in previous
strikes,” he said.
Almost 3,000 Durham civil
servants went on strike at 12:01
Wednesday, March 13. The
members of the Ontario Public
Service Employees Union
(OPSEU) include nurses, proba-
tion and parole officers, jail
guards, and court clerks.

DURHAM –There are no
corrections officers guarding
the 180 inmates in Whitby Jail.
“No, they’re not,” confirmed
Julia Noonan, spokesman for
the Ministry of Correctional
Services, when asked if guards
were still on the job. “Not on
the inside.”
Ms. Noonan was referring to
members of Local 359 of the
Ontario Public Service Employ-
ees Union picketing outside the
jail. They have been on strike
since March 13.
According to Ms. Noonan,
the Whitby correctional officers
were “not reporting for their
shifts. Managers are covering
the shifts and the ministry is
trying to utilize all our man-
agers to ensure the safe opera-
tions of (Ontario) facilities,” she
said.
But OPSEU staff representa-
tive Tom Tangi said that was not
the case.
“Management locked them
out,” he said. “That’s different.
They (Local 359 correctional
officers) were in there follow-
ing the essential services agree-
ment and management let them
out and told them to go home.”
The local jail was built in
1959 to house 128 convicts.

Staff Writer
DURHAM – A hot debate rages
on the council floor as speakers take
turns trading innuendo, opinions
and even taunts as part of the clash
of wills on the issues of the day.
But as open debate continues in
today’s public meeting, there are
other discussions being carried on
out of earshot of the press, the on-
lookers in the gallery and even the
majority of the elected officials in
the room. There are no whispers
during these information ex-
changes, only vibrations and quiet
buzzes that flit across the room like
bees in a clover patch. The hum
emits from councillors’ Blackber-
ries, little portable e-mail gadgets,
essentially wireless computers, that
handily clasp to belt buckles or slip
into purses bringing messages from
across town or, more significantly,
just across the room.
“It’s like passing notes,” says
Pickering Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner. “People have
done it for as long as I can remem-
ber. It’s no different than getting up
and talking to ‘Councillor Smith,’
theoretically. I don’t know if that
makes it right,” says Coun. Brenner,
who uses a Blackberry.
The Ontario Municipal Act has
very stringent guidelines around
what types of meetings may be held
in private: those dealing with legal,
personnel or property matters. All
other matters are supposed to take
place in the public eye.
Regional Deputy-Clerk Debi
Bentley says there has never been a
protocol set on note-passing at the
Region nor on Blackberry use.
While note-passing may occur,
confidentiality is not guaranteed as
the note makes its way to the recip-
ient.
But with the Blackberry e-mail
councillors can be carrying on con-
versations that the public, and even
participants in the debate, are not
privy to, even though they are in the
midst of a public meeting.
One positive aspect to the Black-
berries is they are not disruptive,
says Regional Chairman Roger An-
derson. “I’d rather they do that than
talk,” he says, noting even whispers
carry across council chambers.
Trying to eliminate side conver-
sations from the political forum
would be a challenge with or with-
out technology, he suggests.
“I think it has brought a new el-
ement into regional council meet-
ings,” says Clarington Mayor John
Mutton, “to the point movers of
motions and seconders are more
strategically situated through
Blackberry use. You can’t get up
and caucus (meet) in Regional
council but you can through the
Blackberry.
There are items that could be
brought up on the council floor that
might have come forward but might
not due to Blackberry use. In coun-
cil meetings you have to think on
your feet” he adds, noting when
people can use the Blackberry to
express their views that skill be-
comes less important.
“It’s difficult to say what the im-
pact has been at the Region but
there has been an impact.”
In January, Brock councillor and
health and social services commit-
tee chairman Larry O’Connor chas-
tised members of his committee for
indiscreet use of Blackberries.
The chairman felt members did
not show proper respect during a
presentation from a delegate whose
presence the committee had re-
quested.
“It’s a matter of etiquette,” says
Coun. O’Connor. “If we ask some-
one to come to a meeting, we
should listen to them.” Still, he be-
lieves there can be a place for
Blackberries in meetings. “There
can be discreet use if there is some-
thing you’ve been waiting for but to
use it to discuss something on the
floor of the meeting is inappropri-
ate,” he says. “If there’s something
you want to speak to, get it on the
floor.”
But even that isn’t black and
white, suggests Coun. Brenner,
who says the ultimate outcome of
side conversations can be positive
in ensuring the right decision is
made at the end of the day. “It can
assist in responsible decision-mak-
ing and ensuring accurate facts. Be-
cause of the way council is struc-
tured, you don’t have the ability to
have informal cross-dialogue.”
If another councillor has misin-
terpreted remarks, he or she may
vote based on misinformation,
points out Coun. Brenner. If the
speaker realizes his or her remarks
have been misinterpreted, the
Blackberry gives the speaker a
chance to clarify the position for
that councillor, he relates.
Still, he admits, that does take
part of the meeting out of the public
forum.
“Can it be abused? The answer
is yes I guess it could be. But it can,
at times, be very valuable,” reflects
Coun. Brenner.
Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt
says it isn’t just public access that
has benefited from technology. The
whole process has been given a
boost through improved communi-
cation thanks to Powerpoint, a pre-
sentation software program.
“Five years ago it was all over-
heads,” he says, referring to presen-
tations made to council from staff
and outside agencies.
“The presentations are much
better.”

Search on for
dangerous
offender
DURHAM –The Durham Regional
Police are asking for the public’s help in
locating a dangerous offender.
The local police force is assisting
Corrections Services Canada and the
provincial repeat offender program en-
forcement unit to find Cale Gordon Her-
mitte, 32. He is currently serving a five-
year sentence for break and enter and
armed robbery for the 1996 knifepoint-
mugging of a taxi driver. Police arrested
him in Oshawa in 1999 after he escaped
from a federal prison.
On Dec. 10, 2001, he was granted
statutory release to an Oshawa address
and then assigned to an Oshawa federal
halfway house after violating a parole
condition, police said. He disappeared
from his residence in south Oshawa in
February. A Canada-wide warrant has
been issued for his arrest.
Police said he is an associate of the
Hells Angels and has a history of being
armed. He is described as white, 5-foot-
10 and 193 pounds with short brown
hair and blue eyes. He wears silver-
rimmed glasses and has numerous tat-
toos, including oriental symbols on the
left side of his neck.
Anyone with information is asked to
call Detective Constable Paul Parker of
the provincial squad at 416-808-5907 or
page 1-888-803-9514 or call Crime
Stoppers at 905-436-8477.

Ajax family thankful as fire victim ‘doing much better’
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX — After eight years of hav-
ing a boat sit in their garage, the Turn-
er family was finally going to take it
out on the water.
Unfortunately, fate in the form of a
fire intervened, leaving Steve Turner in
hospital with second-degree burns to
his face and hands. Caroline Turner
said this week her husband is “doing
much better. He’ll be out on the week-
end.”
On the day of the fire, Mr. Turner
was taken to Rouge Valley Ajax and
Pickering hospital and then transferred
to Rouge Valley Centenary in Scarbor-
ough, where he remains.
The burns to Mr. Turner’s hands
“are the worst” and will probably keep
him off work as a carpenter with Binns
Designer Kitchens and Baths for about
three months, she said.
“His face has really healed. He
shaved,” Mrs. Turner added. “He
peeled off some dead skin before the
surgeon got there. That’s probably not
the best thing to do.”
The fire happened around 7:35 a.m.
Wednesday, March 6 when a spark ig-
nited gas vapours while Mr. Turner was
disconnecting a battery. He drained gas
out of the boat engine prior to discon-
necting the battery, according to Thom
Evered of Ajax Fire and Emergency
Services. The last time the family had
used the boat was shortly after their
daughter Miranda was born.
“It’s one of those toys you buy when
you’re not married and have no mort-
gage,” Mrs. Turner said, noting they
didn’t have insurance on the boat and
they won’t replace it.
“At the end of the day, it makes you
realize material things don’t matter.”
Mrs. Turner learned of the accident
after arriving at work. Mr. Turner was
home with Miranda, seven, and
Matthew, four, at the time.
“When I got to work, there were a
couple of panic messages and I headed
home,” she said. “The messages were
not to go home. The kids were safe and
I should go to the hospital.
“I thought he was dead during the
hour-and-a-half cab ride.”
Upon arriving at the hospital, “he
was sitting up in bed and a sense of re-
lief came over me,” Mrs. Turner said.
“With that kind of explosion, he could
have burned his lungs. But, he closed
his eyes and held his breath.”
The blaze was contained primarily
in the garage, with some reaching the
attic. Aside from smoke damage, the
rest of the house was fine, Mrs. Turner
said. “I didn’t know where the fire was.
I thought everything was gone.”
The damage estimate is about
$120,000, and could have been higher
had the Ajax firefighters not arrived “so
fast. That’s what saved the
house.”
Mrs. Turner has nothing but
praise for the help of the fami-
ly’s neighbours.
“I want to thank all our
neighbours on Burrells (Road),”
she said, pointing to Debbie and
Doug Peddle, and Sharon Mair,
who rode to the hospital with
Steve. “Some neighbours stayed
home that day to make sure
everyone was all right. The Ped-
dles was the hub centre. They
took care of my children and the
cat,” Mrs. Turner noted.
Also, Eric and Mandy
George “helped take the kids to
safety”, Mr. Peddle noted.
The family is currently stay-
ing with Mrs. Turner’s mother
in Whitby. “We’ll be out of the
house three or four months,” she
said.
Steve Turner, here with son
Matthew, is recovering from burns
to his face and hands after a spark
ignited gas vapours while he was
working on a boat motor.

DURHAM – There’s
good news and not so good
news: teenagers are smoking
less but drinking more.
Tobacco use is down but
heavy drinking remains a
problem, according to find-
ings from the latest study of
Ontario youth drug use.
Edward Adlaf, PhD, a re-
search scientist with the Cen-
tre for Addiction and Mental
Health, was in Oshawa re-
cently to share the findings
from the 2001 Ontario Stu-
dent Drug Use Survey. More
than 140 representatives from
area organizations that deal
with addictions and/or with
youth gathered to hear him at
the well-attended workshop.
“His research is one of the
key resources we look at,”
said Paul McGary, program
director for Pinewood Centre
and the workshop leader.
The survey is the longest
ongoing study of adolescent
drug use in Canada. It has its
roots in 1968 in Toronto, but
by 1977 took in the entire
province. The overall study is
based on 13 surveys conduct-
ed every two years leading up
to and including 2001 when
4,211 students from 41
school boards, 106 schools
and 272 classes were exam-
ined. The randomly-selected
subjects for the 2001 survey
attended Grade 7 through
OAC.
“Alcohol is by far the drug
used most often,” confirmed
Dr. Adlaf. “Seventy-one per
cent of students said they
drank alcohol in their lifetime
and 66 per cent said they
drank it in the past 12
months. And cannabis out-
ranks tobacco (use) with 30
per cent of students (report-
ing) they used cannabis in the
last 12 months compared to
24 per cent who said they
used tobacco in the last 12
months.”
The findings are
provincewide, but are also
broken down into northern
Ontario, western Ontario and
eastern Ontario. Durham Re-
gion falls into the latter geo-
graphic category, which the
study deems to be the area
east of York Region. “Eastern
Ontario is similar to the rest
of the province,” said Dr.
Adlaf. “The rates of use here
are very similar to the
province overall.”
Other findings highlighted
by Dr. Adlaf included that
males are more likely to
binge drink, use cannabis,
sniff glue and use metham-
phetamine, LSD, and other
hallucinogens. Girls are more
likely to use stimulants such
as diet pills.
The study found drug use
increases as students move
into higher grade levels,
peaking in grades 11 and 12.
Only solvent use decreases as
older students gain access to
what might be considered
more sophisticated sub-
stances. According to the sur-
vey, northern Ontario stu-
dents are more likely to
“drink and to binge drink”
while adolescents living in
western Ontario “are more
likely to use cannabis, heroin,
methamphetamine, hallu-
cinogens, cocaine, crack and
ecstasy.”
Between 1999 and 2001,
the use of three drugs had de-
clined significantly among
students. Cigarette smoking
is down to 23.6 per cent from
29.02 per cent, solvent use
has dropped from 7.1 per cent
to 5.7 per cent and LSD use
fell from 6.8 per cent to 4.5
per cent. Drug use by stu-
dents is the same or lower
than in the late 1970s, which
was the historical peak years
of drug use.

tre, reminds youth they have a choice when it comes to
alcohol, smoking and drugs.

DURHAM —The public is
being invited to comment on a pro-
posed used-fuel dry-storage facility
at the Darlington Nuclear Generat-
ing Station as part of an environ-
mental assessment (EA).
Until April 5 the public can make
recommendations on draft guide-
lines on the process the assessment
will follow. The dry-storage facility
will consist of concrete containment
for cooled fuel bundles within a
building to be built on-site at Dar-
lington. It is expected to be opera-
tional by 2007. Among other things,
the EA will determine the best loca-
tion for the storage.
Currently, spent fuel is stored in
a water pool within the facility.
After 10 years in water, the fuel
bundles can be transferred to dry
storage. Ontario Power Generation,
owner of Darlington, currently op-
erates a dry-fuel facility at its Pick-
ering site.
The EA will examine any possi-
ble effects on the environment relat-
ed to dry storage, including air,
water, groundwater, vegetation and
wildlife, and the impact on the com-
munity. As well, it will determine
any actions that may be necessary to
mitigate possible effects prior to the
construction of the facility.
The storage facility would hold
the spent radioactive fuel bundles
until the eventual decommissioning
of Darlington.
At that point the federal govern-
ment will determine the final loca-
tion for long-term storage of the
waste. That location may be on-site,
may involve geological burial or an-
other central site could be created to
hold nuclear fuel waste from a num-
ber of Canadian nuclear plants.
Anyone who would like to view
the draft EA for the facility can ob-
tain a copy at the Ajax Public Li-
brary, 65 Harwood Ave. S., or the
Pickering Public Library, One The
Esplanade, Pickering.
The Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission offers more informa-
tion on the EA process online at
www.nuclearsafety.gc.ca.

GM paint facility’s first phase
expected to cost $285 million
DURHAM —General Mo-
tors of Canada is investing about
$285 million for a pre-paint
preparation operation at the com-
pany’s two car-assembly plants
in Oshawa, a source says.
The investment is probably
the first step in an $885-million
overhaul of the aging paint-shop
facilities at the No. 1 and No. 2
car plants, insiders said. The
company will probably an-
nounce at least one other major
paint-shop investment in Oshawa
later this year, the insiders said.
GM, the country’s biggest au-
tomaker, told staff in an internal
bulletin last week about plans to
build an elpo-phosphate facility
for the two plants. The company
did not disclose the value of the
project in the bulletin.
One source familiar with the
plans, however, said the cost is
about $180 million U.S., or $285
million Canadian.
The facility will be used for
cleaning the exterior of a vehicle
and employing an electro-depo-
sition process for application of
the first layer of primer in a dip-
ping bath before final paint.
Sources said management has
lobbied the company’s Detroit
parent in recent years for a new
paint complex and the elpo-phos-
phate facility is a clear signal an-
other investment will follow.
Some union officials believe
another, bigger investment in the
paint operations could become a
bargaining chip in contract nego-
tiations with workers this fall.
The current paint shop is
about 20 years old and has be-
come a bottleneck at the Oshawa
car plants, slowing production
and efficiency.
Groundwork started recently
on preparing the site for the new
facility across the road from the
two existing car-assembly plants.
Construction is expected to start
next month and be completed
next year. GM would not com-
ment on when the new facility
would open or whether further
investment would be necessary
to make the operation functional
and efficient.
“We’re continuing to improve
our operations, but we have noth-
ing else to announce,” said
Richard James, GM’s manager
of corporate communications.
GM currently builds the
Chevrolet Impala and Monte
Carlo models at the No. 1 car
plant and the Buick Century and
Regal at the No. 2 site.
Production at the two plants
slid 16.2 per cent to 473,911 cars
last year. The No. 2 plant is cur-
rently idle for two weeks because
of lagging demand. About 2,500
workers are on layoff.
Output of the Impala and the
Monte Carlo at the No. 1 plant,
however, has jumped more than
10 per cent during the last month.
Management and the Canadian
Auto Workers union are negotiat-
ing the addition of a third shift at
the No. 1 plant to meet demand
for the Impala.
One source said the company
still needs to get some final com-
mitments from suppliers for
more parts to increase Impala
production.
GM also plans to build a new
Pontiac model later this year in
Oshawa, but has not revealed at
which plant. The company is in-
vesting $300 million for produc-
tion of the new vehicle.
GM pumped $135 million
into press and stamping opera-
tions in Oshawa and $440 mil-
lion for engine production in St.
Catharines in 2000. GM’s other
Oshawa assembly operation, a
booming truck plant, runs on
three shifts with overtime.

since become redundant. On
the French side, another fort
overlooks Marigot, the capi-
tal. Both can be explored.
But, most visitors tend to
get caught up in the bargains
to be found in the towns, par-
ticularly in the duty-free port
of Philipsburg. Jewelry, elec-
tronics and beautiful, em-
broidered linens are snapped
up by eager shore visitors
from the cruise ships that
dock each morning. At one
of the little shops selling
duty-free alcohol, ask for a
taste of guavaberry liqueur,
made from a local fruit. It
even comes in handsome,
hand-painted bottles. At the
open-air market, bargaining
is mandatory for everything
from woodcrafts and jewelry
to colourful Caribbean cloth-
ing and hats.
For those who want to un-
derstand the history of this
little island, visit the museum
just off Front Street in
Philipsburg. It’s compact and
offers a quick overview, as
well as a terrific little gift
shop. To the right, toward the
beach, nearby Caliente offers
a fresh mango, guava or pa-
paya juice drink, made with
milk, cane syrup and a drop
of vanilla... like a creamy
milkshake without the ice
cream. Yum!
Both Marigot and Philips-
burg boast fabulous restau-
rants. Try Antoine’s in
Philipsburg for fabulous
French cuisine, and for au-
thentic Caribbean flavour,
visit the Barefoot Terrace
right near the docks (save
room for real mango or
guava ice cream for dessert).
Marigot has a wonderful wa-
terfront shopping area with
kiosks of local artisans sell-
ing their wares. Something
we only saw on this side
were tagua nut carvings, ex-
quisite little figures and
plants carved from this hard,
rough brown nut with an
ivory interior.
The island also has sever-
al casinos, one right in the
Great Bay. I’m not really a
gambler, but I spent a con-
tented hour playing the nick-
el slots... total damage: $3.
St. Maarten has a lot to offer.
BY LIZ CAMPBELL
Special to the News Advertiser
Canadians understand two cultures
living in one country. But, the inhabi-
tants of St. Maarten/St. Martin share an
island of only 37 square miles. Dutch
and French have peacefully co-existed
here for 350 years, longer than any
other neighbours in history. Visiting this
glorious little island enables one to
enjoy both cultures in a unique experi-
ence.
We stayed on the Dutch side at the
Great Bay Resort, a handsome beach-
side hotel located a short walk from
Philipsburg, the capital. Each night we
simply opened the sliding door to our
balcony and slept to the lullaby of
waves rolling in, a few metres away.
Each morning we rose and walked
along the beach, taking in the sight of
the ocean’s early risers, seabirds diving
for their morning catch and fishermen
heading out for theirs.
The island makes a wonderful get-
away in the winter months. While
Canada freezes under mounds of snow,
St. Maarten maintains a balmy 28 to 32
C. Sunny skies and a turquoise ocean
beckon the swimmer to sparkling sandy
beaches to play in the water and relax
under an umbrella. But, there’s a lot
more to do on this little island.
At nearby Dawn Beach, you’ll find
some of the best snorkelling on the is-
land. You can rent your gear right on the
beach and swim out to the reef, only
100 to 200 metres away. Check the
weather, however. On a windy day, the
reef can be rather choppy. Once there,
you’re treated to a smorgasbord of mag-
nificent marine life, in all its colourful
array, and all within touching distance.
The reef is fairly shallow here allowing
for a close-up view.
If you’d rather be chauffeured out,
the Great Bay offers a morning excur-
sion to a part of the reef where a sunken
ship provides a little more interest to the
underwater vista. Here again, the ma-
rine life is spectacularly colourful. Re-
member to wear a T-shirt when
snorkelling to protect from sunburn.
Tri-Sport, located at Paradise Bay on
the Dutch side, offers plenty of excur-
sions for adventurous visitors. Moun-
tain biking, hiking and kayaking trips
are all available with experienced
guides. For those who have never tried
ocean kayaking, this spot is a good
place to experiment. The bay is shel-
tered, and our guide, Eric, was a great
instructor. He had the group paddling
moderately well, very quickly. We
headed to a small island where we en-
joyed a cool drink and a dip in the
ocean before making a circuit toward a
sheltered shore. Here we saw giant sea
cucumbers and hundreds of multi-hued
jellyfish basking in the shallow water as
we paddled along. Eric lifts a jellyfish
and allows us to stroke its slimy sur-
face. Great blue heron wheeled and
dipped in the sky, landing on the shore
around us. Pelicans perched on rocks.
It’s a little piece of perfection.
A fort nestles on the high hill over-
looking Great Bay, a short hike from
the hotel. Its use for defence has long

Invest in your Foundation
and Repair Those Leaks
Gordon Crawford of
Crawford & Sons has been
successfully repairing leak-
ing basements for over 24
years and although he says,
“I’m still learning,” he esti-
mates he has been in close to
15,000 homes and seen virtu-
ally every possible leaking
situation one can imagine.
Gordon says, “basically,
the amount of years I’ve been
in this business has forced
me to develop hundreds of
different techniques to suc-
cessfully solve every situa-
tion I’ve encountered”. He
also says that “having an
extensive background in spe-
cialty products for concrete, I
know which products to use
and which ones really work,
that’s why I can offer a 10
year full guarantee on all the
work I do”.
Gordon prides his com-
pany on fast, neat and effi-
cient service. He also prides
himself on his troubleshoot-
ing ability. “I like to profes-
sionally solve problems at
the least most reasonable cost
to the customer. Sometimes
that may involve excavating
the entire perimeter of the
house and replacing the
weeping tiles but that is
because it is absolutely nec-
essary. What I won’t do is
quote on an expensive exca-
vation type repair when I
know a simple little interior
injection will solve the prob-
lem. Give me a solid concrete
foundation and 90% of the
time I can inject the problem
with polyurethane by stand-
ing on the inside and pump-
ing right through the wall.
Block foundations should be
repaired from the outside but
I try to isolate the problem
within 10-15 ft. to mini-
mize the excavation nec-
essary.”
Gordon says “home
owners should invest in
their foundations in
much the same way they
invest in their roofs.
Water corrodes and very
quickly. The same way a
leak in your roof starts
corroding the wooden
rafters, a leak through
your foundation starts to
undermine the very
integrity of your home.
People tend to live with
the problem until it esca-
lates into a bigger one. Catch
it early enough and possibly
save yourself a fortune.”
Gordon goes on to say
that “no job is too big or too
small and I can promise you
a fair and objective evalua-
tion of the problem.” For a
free professional evaluation

The following new movies are
being screened this weekend:
ICE AGE (Animated)
Starring the voices of Ray Romano,
John Leguizamo, Denis Leary,
Goran Visnjic, Jack Black.
Directed by Chris Wedge.
Twenty-thousand years ago, the
Earth is a wondrous, prehistoric world
filled with danger, not the least of
which is the beginning of the Ice Age.
To avoid a really bad frostbite, the
planet’s majestic creatures — and a
few small, slothful ones — begin mi-
grating south. The exceptions are a
woolly mammoth named Manfred, a
high-plains drifter who does things his
own way; and a terminally lazy sloth
named Sid, who enjoys doing nothing,
his own way.
When Sid ‘adopts’ Manfred as his
protector, the mammoth tries every-
thing he can to unload his newfound
baggage. But that’s only the beginning
of his frustrations: Manny has been
roped by Sid into helping reunite an
abandoned human baby named
Roshan with his family. They are
joined by Diego, a sinister sabre-
toothed tiger who befriends Sid and
Manny, all the while seeing the infant
as a tasty treat.
As Sid, Manny and Diego make
their way across the vast, ice-covered
landscape, another creature, a prehis-
toric sabre-toothed squirrel known as
Scrat, tries desperately to carry out his
mission in life — to bury an acorn —
which, alas, triggers calamitous
events.
While Scrat wages war with the Ice
Age itself over his precious nut,
Manny, Sid, Diego and Roshan em-
bark on an incredible journey. They
narrowly escape avalanches, battle
over food with a hapless flock of
doomsday dodos, explore the
mysteries of a diaper, careen
through a prehistoric roller-coast-
er of ice funnels and traverse ice
bridges over lakes of volcanic
lava. They become the weirdest
herd of this, or any, age.
As for Scrat... he is probably
still trying to retrieve that cursed
acorn.

TION
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — Sitting
in front of a crowd of curious
students at Maple Ridge Pub-
lic School recently, Graeme
Murray could see there was a
lot of interest in his sport.
Murray, who was at the
Pickering school recently,
was just about to leave for the
Paralympic Games as part of
Canada’s sledge hockey team
in Salt Lake City. Some of the
students followed the recent
Winter Olympics as part of a
class project and fired ques-
tions at their guest ranging
from how he gets into the sled
to how he shoots the puck.
This is the first time Mur-
ray is playing in the Para-
lympics. Disabled since three
years of age, he’s played
sledge hockey for six years.
“I like to use the definition
of sledge hockey as exactly
the same as a stand-up hock-
ey game except that you’re
sitting down in a sledge,” he
told the students.
Sledge hockey players
have two hockey sticks with
metal spikes on the end to
push them around. The rules
and regulations are the same
as hockey and it can get just
as physical.
“If you want to be good at
a sport, you have to train all
the time,” Murray said, who
works out at the gym every
other day and plays about
four times a week. Even
though sledge hockey players
use just one hand to shoot,
they can still get the puck
moving at around 70 km/h.
So far in his two years on
the national team, Murray has
scored a goal against Japan
and against Sweden in tour-
naments played in those
countries. He’s hoping to
raise those numbers at the
Paralympics.
Visiting schools to spread
the word about the Para-
lympics is essential for Mur-
ray in promoting his sport.
“It’s really good for the
awareness, not a lot of people
know about it,” he said in an
interview after his talk. “If we
can get them at a younger
age, they’ll know what they
see when they grow up a lit-
tle.”
Nine-year-old Jaye Poole
was impressed.
“I think it’s a really great
way of letting disabled peo-
ple play hockey,” said Jaye,
adding he hopes to watch the
Paralympics as much as he
can. “If they didn’t have a
way, they might feel left out
because the people that aren’t
disabled would be having all
the fun.”
Erin Furdas first became
interested in the Paralympics
while reading the story of a
blind skier that she had to
present to her Grade 3 class.
“Now that I’ve met a Para-
lympic athlete, I have even
more interest in it,” Erin said.
“It’s a good way of letting
disabled people know they
actually have a chance of
playing hockey or any sport
they like. It’s also a good way
of letting them know they can
have fun.”
The Canadian sledge
hockey team is competing
against the United States,
Norway, Sweden, Japan, and
Estonia for gold. The Games
run until March 16. So far the
Canadians have a win against
Estonia, and losses to the
U.S. and Japan. They played
Sweden yesterday, after the
News Advertiser’s deadline.
Graeme Murray was in
Pickering recently to give
students an introduction to
sledge hockey.

Shields earns second term
as head of CAW Local 222
DURHAM —Canadian
Auto Workers Local 222
president Mike Shields has
been easily re-elected to his
third term heading Canada’s
largest private sector union.
In a vote March 5, Mr.
Shields received more than
80 per cent of the votes cast
by local members at 15 units.
The 43-year-old local
president said he’s pleased
with the vote of confidence
from the membership.
“I feel this is more of a re-
flection of the support the
membership has for the
union as a whole, as opposed
to my own personal popular-
ity,” he said. “This mandate
sends an important message
to General Motors as well, as
we head into bargaining this
fall, and that is we have the
full support of our mem-
bers.”
Financial secretary Terry
Spence was acclaimed in his
position. This is his second
term.

Felicien wins NCAA
60m indoor hurdles
title in record time
PICKERING —A city
athlete is the fastest collegiate
hurdler in America... bar none.
The University of Illinois
Fighting Illini’s Perdita Feli-
cien blazed to a record-break-
ing victory at the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association In-
door Track and Field Champi-
onships in the women’s 60-
metre hurdlers. The meet was
at the University of Arkansas at
Fayetteville.
Her time of 7.90 was good
enough to secure the NCAA
title, as well as run the fastest
time in NCAA history. Felicien
beat the previous record of
7.92 seconds set by Indiana
University’s Danielle Car-
ruthers earlier this season.
Felicien’s gold-medal per-
formance also represented the
first ever national title for a
University of Illinois women’s
track athlete.
The sophomore at the
Champagne, Illinois campus
won her qualifying heat in a
time of 8.03 seconds.
“I’m really excited right
now, it’s been a great two years
here and this is the perfect way
to end the indoor season,” said
Felicien in a story on the
school’s athletic Web site. “I
actually was running from be-
hind at hurdles one through
three, but at the fourth hurdle,
something just kicked in. I
never panicked during the race
when I saw that Danielle (Car-
ruthers) was ahead of me and
that’s what helped me to win.
We were both leaning at the
end, but I knew I won the race.”
“I’m really happy for her to
get this win,” noted her coach
Gary Winckler in the same
story. “She’s worked really
hard for it and deserves it.”
Felicien also received her
second indoor NCAA All-
American honour — the fourth
overall of her U.S. collegiate
career.
In addition, the Pine Ridge
Secondary School graduate
competed in the 60m dash, fin-
ishing 16th overall and failing
to qualify for the final. She ran
7.48 seconds in her heat.
Felicien was the Big
Ten Conference cham-
pion in the 60m hurdles
this year, capturing the
title earlier this month
in 8.01 seconds.
Two other Pickering
athletes on U.S. schol-
arships also competed
at the NCAA champi-
onships.
Dunbarton High
School graduate Anson
Henry represented the
Washington State
Cougars men’s track
and field team at the in-
door nationals.
Competing in the
60m dash, Henry ran to
a third-place finish in a
fast 6.66 seconds.
Meanwhile, Shel-
ley-Ann Brown, also a
Dunbarton High
School graduate, ran
for the University of
Nebraska Cornhuskers
women’s track team
and finished third in her heat of
the 60m hurdles with a time of
8.30 seconds.
Brown missed advancing to
the final by one-tenth of sec-
ond and wound up 10th over-
all.

AJAX —Select Food Products outlasted the
Bank of Montreal during recent Ajax Ladies Bas-
ketball League play.
Select soared past a tiring bankers squad late in
the game to post a 46-31 victory.
The bankers were quick to take the early lead
with excellent outside shooting, while Select strug-
gled to find the hoop. Select began to fight back to-
ward the end of the first half and continued its re-
vival during the second half en route to the victory.
Erinn Lynch netted 13 points for Select, while
Kelly Morrison
had 19 for the
bankers.
The night’s
closing game
featured East
Side Mario’s
against Et Tu

Mario’s used its
running game
and fast break in
the final half to
secure a 47-33
victory.
The teams
went basket for
basket early
using the outside
shot to rack up
the points.
Mario’s came to
the fore in the
last half with its
good inside play.

Kurtis Miller claims four firsts,
Barnes tops as well at nationals
PICKERING — Three Pickering athletes
displayed their talents at the recent 2002 Speedo
Youth and Junior Nationals East swimming
meet.
The meet attracted 525 swimmers represent-
ing 90 clubs from eastern Canada.
Kurtis Miller, 16, Warren Barnes, 16, and
Nicole Sabourin, 17 — all Dunbarton High
School students — were among the 13-member
Scarborough Swim Club squad that met the
meet’s tough entry qualifications.
Miller captured four golds and two silver
medals, which placed him second for the indi-
vidual high points’ award at the meet. Miller
broke two meet records in the 100-metre
freestyle event, clocking a time of 50.21 sec-
onds for his first golden performance. Miller
went on to capture first place in the 50m free,
the 50m butterfly and the 100m fly.
Miller brought home the silvers in the 50m
backstroke and 100m back events.
The next challenge for Miller is the Com-
monwealth Games trials in Winnipeg in March.
Barnes — a tough competitor in the breast-
stroke events — struck gold in the 100m breast.
He also garnered silver in the 50m breast and a
fifth-place showing in the 200m breast.
This was Sabourin’s fourth trip to junior na-
tionals and she qualified to swim in the 200m,
400m and 800m free and 200m fly.
The Scarborough Swim Club placed fifth
overall in the club standings.
