AT A GLANCE Motorcyclist killed in Pickering crash PICKERING — A motorcy- cle accident in north Pickering has taken the life of one Ajax resident and left another serious- ly injured. Police say Glenn Pawley, 52, of Dennis Drive in Ajax, was killed after his 1986 Honda mo- torcycle collided with a green Nissan at the corner of Brock Road and Hwy. 7. Durham Regional Police said Mr. Pawley was heading north on Brock at 3:25 p.m. on Saturday, June 30 when the driver of the southbound Nissan, a 53-year- old Toronto resident, turned left onto Hwy. 7 across the path of the motorcycle. The 54-year-old passenger on the rear of Mr. Pawley’s motorcy- cle, also of Dennis Drive, re- ceived serious but non-life- threatening injuries and was taken to the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre where she is now in intensive care. The Nissan’s driver and pas- sengers were not injured. Investigating officer Constable Garth Moore said there was no way to determine at this time whether either party was speed- ing and alcohol does not appear to be a factor.

Hospital vows to fight on BRUCE CLIFF ‘We are by no means giving up on the vision...’ Expansion plans will move ahead, but over longer period of time BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Officials at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre (APHC) remain com- mitted to expanding services at the hospital despite the Re- gion’s decision not to provide any funding towards the pro- ject. “We are by no means giving up on the vision for the Ajax site to become a full-service hospital,” said Bruce Cliff, the hospital’s chief operating offi- cer, in a recent interview. The hospital had asked the Region to contribute $28.2 million towards a $98.5-mil- lion expansion plan. The Province would have funded $56.6 million and the hospi- tal’s foundation has committed to raising $13.7 million. But, Durham councillors voted in May to turn down a re- quest for funding from area hospitals, leaving health-care officials scrambling to rework their plans. “We were disappointed in the vote,” Mr. Cliff said. “We’re not in the position to move ahead with the entire project we had presented to the Regional council.” However, after roughly two months of meetings with mem- bers of the hospital board and Ministry of Health officials, Mr. Cliff said the completion of the entire expansion project is still the goal, even though the timeframe will be extend- ed. The expansion plans focus on the recommendations made by the Health Services Re- structuring Commission, which has said a number of im- provements are needed here, including expanding and up- grading the emergency depart- ment, enhancing diagnostic services, introducing on-site rehabilitation and continuing care services, expanding the space for outpatient services, increasing mental health ser- vices and adding about 100 Pickering approves seniors’ home City residents turn out to oppose ‘desperately needed’facility BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Despite concerns from area residents, a “desperately needed” long- term care facility for seniors will be built on Sandy Beach Road in south Pickering. Pickering councillors last week unanimously approved an application from the Central Versa Development Corpora- tion for a two-storey, 124-bed facility on the west side of Sandy Beach, just south of Drava Street. “We have to do all that we can to support it,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. “If we don’t have the facility we will be doing a grave disservice to the commu- nity.” Central Versa had originally proposed a similar facility on Fairport Road but dropped that application in favour of the site on Sandy Beach. “For some period of time we have been looking for a long-term care facility in Pick- ering,” Coun. Holland said, noting the seniors’ residence is “desperately needed”. The facility is part of an ini- tiative announced by the Province in 1998 that set a goal of opening 20,000 new long- term care beds in Ontario by 2004. The initiative also set new standards for long-term care facilities. According to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, the government has committed $1.2 billion toward the expan- sion of long-term care facilities and homes for the aged. Fund- ing has been dispensed through ‘awards’ to applicants. Central Versa has been granted two awards, one in 1998 for 60 beds and another in 2000 for an additional 64 beds, for a total of 124 beds, which will be lo- Worries raised over whereabouts of criminally insane patients BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Concerns over the supervision of the criminally insane are being raised by police officials in the wake of two recent incidents in which forensic patients have gone missing while in the cus- tody of Whitby Mental Health Centre. Durham Regional Police are accusing the hospital of failing to notify them when patients of the 40-bed medium-security forensic unit leave the grounds - waiting as many as three days to report a patient missing in one case. WMHC Administrator Ron Ballantyne strongly denies the claim. “That’s absolutely incor- rect,” he said in a recent inter- view. However, the latest incidents have police worrying about public safety. Chi Yung (Alan) Lam left the lakefront grounds by taxi at about 10 a.m. June 15 on an un- escorted day pass. He was re- quired to report by phone every half-hour. Later that day, police were notified Mr. Lam, 37, was ar- rested at the Canada-U.S. bor- der, in Gananoque, after trying to cross into New York State. DURHAM ––The Whitby Mental Health Centre, seen from the air above Lake Ontario, is surrounded by green space and new housing. Police officials have expressed concern about recent cases in which patients have gone missing from the facility. Durham police, mental health centre officials fail to connect Police, Region reach tentative contract DURHAM ––A tentative contract agreement was reached Tuesday, June 27, between the Durham Police Services Board and the Durham Regional Police Association. The agreement is a multi- year contract ending Dec. 31, 2003. “After long, fruitful negotia- tions we have achieved a posi- tive result,” said Bob Boychyn, chairman of the police services board. “The agreement will ben- efit the members of the police association and the citizens of the Region. Overall, it’s a good contract for everyone.” “It was a very fair and equi- table agreement,” said Terry Ryan, president of the police as- sociation. “We appreciate the co-operation of the board in making it happen.” MARK HOLLAND ‘We have to do all that we can to support it.’ See POLICE page A4 See HOSPITAL page A2 See CITY page A5 A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 4, 2001 Hospital moves forward with ‘initial priorities’ new inpatient beds. Mr. Cliff reported the “initial prior- ities” are the expansion of the emer- gency department and enhancing di- agnostic services. “The ministry is very interested in us moving the emergency and diag- nostic imaging (expansions) ahead quickly,” he said, noting staff are working with the architects to deter- mine “what else can be done with the money we have”, which he says is about $45 million. Hospital officials weren’t as opti- mistic about their situation last month when the option of moving away from a full-service hospital was floated as a possibility in a letter to area mayors from Allan Whiting, the president and chief executive officer of the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS), in which the Ajax site is a partner with Scarborough’s Centenary Health Cen- tre. In that letter, dated June 7, Mr. Whiting said the RVHS was consider- ing a “one hospital/two-site approach” which would result in a reduction of services in Ajax. “The reality of the day suggests Rouge Valley cannot continue to sus- tain the Ajax and Pickering hospital in its present substandard form,” he wrote. But, Mr. Cliff said since that letter was written, hospital officials have had a series of positive meetings with the ministry. “When Mr. Whiting wrote that let- ter, we did not have approval from the Region to assist us and there were also a number of announcements coming out of the ministry regarding the bud- gets being flat-lined. We had some concerns with our ability to move this to a full-service hospital,” Mr. Cliff said. “More recently we’re feeling a little more positive about some of the operating dollars.” He added officials now believe that by phasing in the expansion plan one step at a time, the hospital can work towards its original goal over a longer timeframe. “The bottom line is I’ve got to get moving quickly with what I do have to work with,” Mr. Cliff said. “I would hope we might be able to do some site work this year,” he said, noting he expects it will take about two-and-a-half years to complete the first phase of the project. Meanwhile, Mr. Cliff reported the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation is continuing to work to raise its share of the capital dollars. “They’ve been very successful to date,” he said, noting the foundation has raised more than $5 million of the $13 million they’ve committed to- wards the project. “We’re not giving up,” Mr. Cliff said. “We have a vision and we’re working towards the vision but we need help. We need the government’s help; we need the community’s help. We’re trying to make this a first-class hospital.” HOSPITAL from page A1 Thugs relieve man of his cellphone PICKERING ––A young man was hit in the arm with a baseball bat during a street robbery early Saturday. Durham Regional Police said two men were walking home from a party about 2:50 a.m. along Glenanna Road when a white Ford Tempo approached them with four men in it. The car stopped and two men, described as being in their late teens, got out and approached the pedestrians, police said. One man from the car carried a baseball bat and hit one of the pedes- trians in the arm and took the man’s cellphone, pager and chain necklace, police said. The two men got back into the car and drove off. The victim’s arm was bruised. We’re online at durhamregion.com ‘Rough spot’ could have sick children on the move this summer DURHAM —A delay in opening a child health unit at the Ajax and Pickering Health Cen- tre (APHC) means children taken to the emergency depart- ment there this summer may have to be transferred to a Scar- borough hospital. Katie Cronin-Wood, director of communications at the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System, reports the hospital is planning to open an interim child health unit in the late fall. However, she noted, “We’re in a rough spot over the sum- mer.” Ms. Cronin-Wood said if a child’s condition warrants it, they will be transferred to the Regional Paediatric Centre at the Centenary Health Centre instead of being admitted in Ajax. “We had hoped to be able to build this unit as part of our over- all expansion plans,” said Bruce Cliff, chief operating officer of the APHC, in a news release. “But now we are going to have to phase it in and move some of our other services around to create the necessary space.” The hospital will be relocat- ing a number of services to cre- ate an interim child health unit on the fourth floor of the west tower. Outpatient services, which are currently located in that area, will move to a renovat- ed space on the ground floor in the early fall and then pediatric equipment and beds will be moved in to create a new unit. When the larger expansion project gets under way, all the equipment and beds from the in- terim child health unit will be moved to a permanent location on the main floor as part of the new emergency department. “The delay in opening the unit is having an impact on our ability to provide pediatric ser- vices to the community at the present time,” reports Dr. Fahti Abuzgaya, Rouge Valley’s asso- ciate chief of staff. “The shortage of pediatricians across the province and the inability to pro- vide them with a dedicated unit at the Ajax and Pickering site means that we will not have full pediatric coverage at the hospital over the summer.” Cafe/Bar 1550 Kingston Rd.

The Durham Coalition for Extracurricular Activities (DCECA) was formed last fall to put pressure on the provin- cial government, the Durham District School Board and local high school teachers after another school year began without most activities. And while new provincial legislation and a new contract between the board and its high school teachers are encourag- ing signs, DCECA spokesman Charlene Westbrook said com- mittee members only have “cautious optimism that things will start to get back to nor- mal” this fall. She said the group would be monitoring what happens in September and has no plans to disband. “Not until we see that this situation has resolved itself to a degree that we can say, ‘the kids have got the things they need in high school’,” said Ms. Westbrook. “We want a full comple- ment of choices for the stu- dents that are going to include all the students’ interests, not just sports.” She said DCECA is worried the high school teacher con- tract and the Stability and Ex- cellence in Education Act both happened at the end of the school year. It may make it difficult to get off to a running start in September, since a lot of planning is required and teachers are on holidays, said Ms. Westbrook. “If the teachers (who want to participate) are willing to work over the summer with the board of education and get things running, that would be great,” she said. Dan Munroe, the Henry Street High School pupil who led a student protest over a lack of activities last Septem- ber, said he believes some, but not all activities, will return in the fall. If that occurs, Mr. Munroe said he would consider orga- nizing another student walk- out. Before school ended, he said there was a fair bit of op- timism amongst students that September would see the re- turn of most, if not all, clubs and sports. “I don’t think anybody’s doubting that it’s happening,” said Mr. Munroe, adding until September, “it’s a waiting game”. Shelley Page, Durham pres- ident of the Ontario Secondary School teachers’Federation, in a recent interview said it would be, and always has been, up to individual teachers to decide if their schedule per- mits extracurricular involve- ment. The Durham District School Board and its high school teachers ratified a new collective agreement last week, the first negotiated deal in five years. Implementing the new, 6.25-of-eight-class instructional workload, it pro- vides teachers with more time in their schedule, time that could be spent on after-school activities. “We’re expecting big things from the board after the disap- pointments of the last few years; we’re expecting big things from the board and the teachers,” said Ms. Westbrook.

A/P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 4, 2001 Police concerned over supervision of mentally ill He was detained by U.S. im- migration, arrested by Canadian authorities under the Mental Health Act and held at the Brockville jail. He was later picked up by Durham police and escorted back to WMHC. Mr. Lam was found not crim- inally responsible (NCR) six years ago for the second-degree murder of his mother, Sun Yee Lam, 59, who was stabbed more than 20 times in 1993 and found in her bathtub in her Kitchener home. He was remanded into psychiatric care indefinitely and transferred to WMHC last No- vember. In the other incident, a Cana- da-wide arrest warrant was is- sued for a Whitby patient who vanished from a Toronto group home a month ago. Robert William Coombes, 23, was found NCR for attempted murder and aggravated assault after his roommate was attacked with a hammer and a knife in their north Oshawa residence in 1997. Although he is still de- tained at Whitby under an On- tario Review Board detention order, Mr. Coombes was re- leased by the hospital to the group home last November with conditions to report weekly to WMHC in person. (The ORB is an independent judicial tribunal created under the Criminal Code of Canada that annually reviews and deter- mines the level of treatment and freedom for people who have been found NCR because of a mental disorder, and ordered into psychiatric care indefinitely.) Mr. Coombes reported on May 17, but walked away from the group home May 21, leaving a message he was going to visit family in Huntsville. The hospital was not told of his disappearance for three days. Police say they did not receive an official report Mr. Coombes was missing until May 28. Police took the precaution of notifying the victim of the 1997 attack and issued a warrant for Mr. Coombes’s arrest for being unlawfully at large. He was also wanted for breaching the condi- tions of his ORB order. Last Friday, exactly one month after he disappeared, Mr. Coombes showed up at the Whit- by hospital and was arrested. The two cases are just the lat- est in a history of incidents at WMHC that have Durham po- lice officials expressing concerns about community safety. In February of this year Durham homicide detectives in- vestigating the murder of an Os- hawa man whose body was found in the Whitby harbour ar- rested a WMHC patient for vio- lating the conditions of his ORB disposition. Police alleged George Van- curenko Jr. was living at a sus- pected crack house in central Os- hawa –– where the murdered man, William Charles Foster, was known to live on occasion –– while under supervised re- lease from WMHC. Mr. Vancurenko Jr. was found not guilty by reason of insanity 15 years ago for the second-de- gree murder of an Oshawa woman, who was beaten to death. Although he remains under an ORB detention order, he had been living in the com- munity under WMHC’s supervi- sion since 1991, despite being convicted for assault, drugs, im- paired driving and theft in recent years. Police say they have insuf- ficient evidence to lay a criminal charge in Mr. Foster’s death. Prosecutors are currently seeking to have Mr. Vancurenko Jr. de- tained; a publication ban has been imposed on his ongoing ORB hearing. Frustrated, police officials said the case opened their eyes to a “gap” in communication be- tween police, WMHC and the ORB. They maintain they are not always notified when NCR pa- tients are released into the com- munity –– on a day pass or long- term basis –– or the conditions imposed on them by the ORB. The Vancurenko Jr. case sparked an internal review by the department and paved the way for discussions between police, the ORB, WMHC and govern- ment ministries aimed at creating a process by which the terms im- posed on released NCR patients would be readily available to all Ontario forces. Despite this development, In- spector Greg Reid, Whitby’s commanding officer, said in a re- cent interview he has “serious concerns about the level of su- pervision” of forensic psychi- atric patients at WMHC. “This is causing us great con- cerns,” he said. WMHC maintains police are told any time a forensic patient leaves the hospital. However, Insp. Reid said notification has been “sporadic,” at best. Mr. Ballantyne dismissed po- lice claims, saying the chief of police, Kevin McAlpine, is noti- fied by fax in writing “in every case” a forensic patient has been granted access to the community, regardless of the length of the pass. “I can show you 13 years of letters. I don’t know why they are saying that,” he said. Chief McAlpine said he per- sonally has no knowledge of the letters, though that doesn’t nec- essarily mean they were not sent since all correspondence to the police force is usually addressed to him. “I have no idea who’s re- ceiving them,” he said. Mr. Ballantyne acknowl- edged Whitby does not provide police with the terms imposed on the patient by the ORB, even though the dispositions are pub- lic documents, but conceded po- lice should have access to the in- formation. As for safety concerns, Mr. Ballantyne said the hospital is mandated to treat and rehabili- tate forensic patients, but there are always risks involved. “I don’t think the public should be concerned,” he said. RON BALLANTYNE ‘I don’t think the public should be concerned.’ POLICE from page A1 Advertising Feature When Labour Day rolls around each year, students file back into their schools - ready for a new school year. Or are they? A teacher friend of mine tells me that, "It isn't until mid October that most kids are back to speed. "This means that from July 1 through Thanksgiving many students are not focused or at their best. It may even be worse than that. Think about your child's learning experiences in June each year. Tests, exams, field trips and other events consume most of that month's schedule adding another month to the let-down period. Considering that the average school year includes only 195 days of instruction, we soon see why many schools struggle to meet the educational expectations of parents and society. We know that kids who are focused and ready in September, will learn, integrate and understand new material right away. How can you help your kids stay sharp over the summer holiday so there will be no let-down in the fall? Here are a few suggestions: • Reading: Make sure that your children read during the summer. Even if they have a busy social life and a part or full time job, make sure that they take time each day to read. • Studying : Set up brief study periods at least every other day. Times when your child can review the worst or hardest subjects, read ahead into next year's material and organize for next year. • Writing: Buy interesting journals and help them get started. Write each day - feelings, weather, what they did. Anything is fine. Encourage internet communication with a select group of friends using something like ICQ or Messenger. The more they write, the more they focus. • However, possibly the best way to help students stay sharp is through a good summer program such as those at Oxford Learning Centres to help keep those thinking, reading, writing, math and study skills sharp and ready for September. It's not so much the memorized material that students forget over the summer, it's learning how to learn that gets forgotten each summer. That's because it is seldom taught independent of school subjects. Students who develop good learning and thinking skills will be ready for success in September. Attending a study session over the summer at Oxford is the best way I know of overcoming the summer let- down. For more information call Oxford Learning Centre Pickering 905-420- 3141.

Neighbouring Region scraps proposed pipeline through city PICKERING —It’s official. York Region won’t be building a water pipeline through Pickering. York Regional councillors voted Thursday to enter into a contract with Peel Region, which will meet York’s long-term water supply needs until 2031. “This is a win-win deal for the two Regions and especially for York Re- gion taxpayers,” said York Regional Chairman Bill Fisch in a news re- lease. “Partnering with Peel Region to meet our long-term water supply needs is, by far, the most cost-effec- tive and environmentally sound solu- tion.” York Region completed an envi- ronmental assessment on plans to build a water pipeline through Pick- ering. But, that EA, which was with- drawn from the Ministry of Environ- ment in the spring, and negotiations with the City of Pickering and the Pickering Community Working Group have been suspended to pursue the agreement with Peel Region. A news release from York notes, “Unlike an agreement with Peel Re- gion, the Durham west option would require a significant capital invest- ment in new transmission mains and pumping stations to deliver a new lake-based water supply to York Re- gion. In addition to higher costs, the undertaking would also have a greater environmental impact than the Peel Region alternative.” However, York also reported the pipeline project through Pickering “remains an option for York Region if other servicing solutions are needed in the future.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 4, 2001 PAGE A5 P cated here. A handful of area residents, how- ever, told councillors they didn’t want the two-storey facility built near their homes because they believe it will re- sult in a loss of privacy in their back- yards and will lead to decreased prop- erty values on nearby streets. “The view from my home will be the parking lot,” said Reytan Boule- vard resident Maureen Whiteway, who urged councillors to take resi- dents’ concerns into consideration. But, Paul White, head of the Fair- port Beach Neighbourhood Associa- tion, pointed out the Rosebank Villa facility in his neighbourhood has not been the source of any problems for area residents. “There is a lack of facilities for se- niors,” he said. “We have an aging population... it has to go somewhere.” Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean said the facility will be a “first-class” building. He noted although “it’s unfortu- nate some people aren’t pleased... in the great scope of it all, this is going to benefit Pickering.” CITY from page A1 City paves way for new seniors’ home York’s water deal a-Peeling to Pickering PICKERING —The City is urg- ing the Province to move ahead with legislation to remove barriers for peo- ple with disabilities. Pickering councillors voted recent- ly to support a motion introduced by Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner asking the Province to pass the Ontarians With Disabilities Act on or before Nov. 23, a target date estab- lished by the provincial government several years ago. Coun. Brenner said the govern- ment needs to “move forward with the commitment” to approve the legisla- tion, which he said would “go a long way to ending the physical barriers the disabled com- munity faces”. The motion, passed by coun- cillors June 18, noted that the last throne speech in- cluded a plan to “ensure fair and equal access to opportunity for citizens with dis- abilities... by in- troducing amend- ments to the Human Rights Code”. But, Coun. Brenner maintained that won’t go far enough because the “Ontario Human Rights Code is weak in dealing with systemic discrimina- tion”. He said strong legislation is needed to ensure barriers affecting access are removed, otherwise the “private sec- tor just turns its nose up because of the cost” involved in making facilities accessible. He added that unless the Ontarians With Disabilities Act is passed in an effort to create a barrier-free society, then members of the disabled commu- nity will continue to struggle with ac- cess issues.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. Ontario has had a three-party system for more than half-a-centu- ry, but now it is down to two-and-a- half. Make that two-and-a-quarter — so low have the New Democrats fallen in numbers and influence. The decline of the NDP, which was in government only six years ago, has been underlined by the res- ignation from the legislature of deputy leader Frances Lankin to head a social service agency. She joins other former senior NDP ministers who have quit since the party lost government, includ- ing Floyd Laughren, Dave Cooke and Bud Wildman. All would have been assured of senior cabinet posts if the New De- mocrats regained power and they have signified they see no hope of it in the near future. Although usually the smallest of the parties, the NDP has been a part of a system in which three parties have shared available votes since the early 1940s. Ontario also has been virtually alone among provinces in recent years in having three major parties. Voters in other provinces have been much more polarized. As far back as 1943, the NDP, as the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, had the second largest number of seats in the legislature and was the official opposition. It was the official opposition again in the mid-1970s and com- monly won more than a quarter of the votes. In 1990 the NDP won govern- ment for the first time with 37.6 per cent of the votes, the best illustra- tion in Ontario history of how a party can win with few votes when the electorate is split three ways. To say the NDP no longer is a player in the three-party system is not a criticism of its policies and strategies or failure to acknowledge it sometimes does admirable work, but merely fact. In the 1995 election won by Mike Harris’s Progressive Conserv- atives, the NDP won only 21 per cent of the vote and in 1999 only 12.6 per cent, its worst showing since the 1930s. Recent polls and byelections, including a dramatical- ly poor showing in Vaughan-King- Aurora, show no signs of a recov- ery. The biggest blow to the NDP ironically was at long last getting elected to government. In opposi- tion it was seen as a voice of con- science, putting forward some ideas many had sympathy with. In government it unluckily had to cope with the worst economic slump in decades, but pushed on maintaining and even enhancing programs and running up huge spending deficits, offending many. It eventually also abandoned some promises long made and cherished, such as providing gov- ernment auto insurance, and alien- ated many of its traditional support- ers. This helped put voters in the mood for cuts in taxes and services, a mood captured well by the Tories under Mr. Harris. Other parties have had down- turns. The once-mighty Tories led by Larry Grossman won only 16 seats in the late 1980s and some members felt their party was so dis- liked it should change its name, but given their long history of govern- ing Ontario — a 42-year uninter- rupted run from 1943 to 85 — no one should have counted them to- tally out of the game. The decline of the NDP and lack of three major parties has major ramifications. A party could be rea- sonably sure of winning govern- ment with 40 per cent of the vote providing the remaining 60 per cent was split fairly evenly between two other parties. Parties sometimes won with less, like the NDP in 1990. But if one party can win only a few votes and the vast majority are split between two other parties, the winner will need a bigger percent- age, perhaps 45 per cent or more. Governments will worry more in elections, because they cannot rely on the votes against them being reasonably evenly divided and try to shape their policies accordingly. Parties hoping to win will need to appeal to a wider range of voters than their mere core votes, build coalitions and offer a broader range of policies — narrow ideological bases will not be enough. The Tories and Liberals already have developed some tactics to cash in on the decline of the NDP. The Liberals are telling voters if they want to get rid of Mr. Harris, they need to combine under the Liberals and not waste a vote on the NDP and recent byelections and polls show this is having some de- gree of success. Mr. Harris is trying oddly to prop up the NDP, saying it has poli- cies while the Liberals have none — he is very keen to have a viable third party. Three’s company in Ontario politics Rapid decline of NDP puts province on course for two-party system You said it The question was: How did you celebrate Canada Day? Durham parents can breathe a sigh of relief now that local public board teachers have new contracts in place. Until the deals were signed, the prospects for public board students were beginning to look bleak at best for the next school year. While the deals may not be perfect in terms of raising wages for occasional teachers, we believe the students will finally come out winners. Students and parents again this year found themselves caught in the middle of education conflict when the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation and Elementary Teachers’Federation of Ontario (ETFO) used ‘pink letters’to put pressure on the Durham District School Board to ink an acceptable deal. The unions threatened anyone who accepted a teaching position or position of added responsibility, faced disciplinary measures. The move presented a very real threat to students as unions essentially put a roadblock on hiring. While it may be an ef- fective negotiation tool for the union, the end result is students are used as pawns in an attempt to pressure school boards into new deals. Despite the new deals, the damage has already been done as high school students in Durham Region hoping to pick up summer credits this year have to look to the Catholic board for instruction. A lack of teaching applications due to the pink let- ter resulted in the cancellation of the public board’s secondary summer school program. Ingrid Thompson, responsible for occasional teachers as president of the ETFO’s Durham local, cited the pink list as one reason for what she calls a less-than-satisfactory contract. Supply teachers could not leave their full-time colleagues in the lurch by not agreeing to a deal, she said, noting the unit basically had to accept the same deal the other groups negoti- ated. “We were in a bind; we absolutely had no choice,” she said. These are words that should rightly come from the mouths of students and parents. For they are the ones who have con- tinually been given no choice during disputes that have waged between the teachers’unions, the board and the Province. In the end we believe it was the pressure of the new Sta- bility and Excellence in Education Act that made the differ- ence. The act, passed Friday, stipulates that following a phase- in period all new agreements between teachers and school boards must run for three years. Concerns over future funding meant neither side wanted a three-year deal and, presto, an agreement was struck. On the bright side, now that there is labour stability in the board, we can all hope for a better 2001/2002 school year. It’s not inexpensive to bid for the Olympics. Gone are the days when outlandish gifts, not to mention bribes, were given to members of the International Olympic Committee. No, the Olympic scandals of the past few years largely cleared up the outright corruption, the ceaseless river of greed. Now, just a few IOC members make an above-board trip to each city in the running. Everybody, in theory at least, gets a fair shot. But it still costs a lot to take that shot. In spite of guaran- tees no public money would be spent on bidding for the Olympic Games, it was revealed recently taxpayers were forced to cough up $6 million to help the bid. It turns out the $6 million is the amount the bid committee fell short in its at- tempt to get corporate support. It is distressing that, even before the Olympics have been awarded, the bid committee has already overspent. What does that mean should Toronto actually win the Games? Corporations, in exchange for priceless worldwide expo- sure, should be behind the Olympic bid and, if successful, the production of the Olympic Games in 2008. The reason for this is simple. Toronto does not want to find itself in the unenvi- able position of Montreal in 1976, which saw itself left with a $1-billion debt. Durham is lined up to host softball and shooting should the Toronto bid be a success on July 13 in Moscow. Will all the costs to turn Durham’s sites into world-class facilities be cov- ered by corporate donations or will local taxpayers be forced to foot part or all of the bill in exchange for being a small part of the Olympics? And who knows what it will all cost in the end? Clearly, those who live in Greater Toronto generally sup- port the Olympics provided they won’t have to pay off accu- mulated debt for the next couple of generations. If the Games are mismanaged as they have been elsewhere, winning the Olympics won’t feel like such a triumph. Ryan Tasker said,“I went to see the fireworks in Whitby. They could have been a little longer and brighter.” Marlene Phemister said, “We go to Sand- banks Provincial Park every year on Canada Day... All the dif- ferent campers put out Canada Day signs desig- nating where they were from.” Amanda Myshrall said, “I had my eighth birthday on Canada Day. We all went to the Stouffville Strawberry Fes- tival.” Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 4, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com A/P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 4, 2001 New deals breathe new life in schools Finally, it looks like the students have won a round in the ongoing education battle Winning at what cost? Olympics already costing us millions and host city hasn’t been announced Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com There’s hope for humanity – you can bank on it To the editor: In the face of all the tragic news and negative stories we hear all the time, I thought I would share a lit- tle story that renewed my faith in people and gave me reason not to lose hope that most people are kind-hearted and generous law- abiding citizens. On June 13, I was shopping in an Ajax department store when my daughter noticed a $2 blue flow- ered piggy bank that she just had to have. Seeing as she had been extra well-behaved that morning, I indulged her. Throughout the rest of the morning we continued to shop, her piggy bank clutched tightly. Our last stop was at the bank and while waiting in the lineup, I was explaining to her about the piggy bank and the importance of saving money. The gentleman ahead of us noticed the bank and complimented her on it. She was quite thrilled by his in- terest and smiled that smile that so often has melted the hearts of her doting family. The man reached in his pocket and slipped a $5 bill into the empty piggy bank. Need- less to say, I was completely sur- prised and taken aback by the gen- erosity of this stranger who did not realize he had given this little girl a present for her third birthday and showed both of us the spirit of giv- ing and thoughtfulness that is still present within us. I hope he reads this article and is proud when he recognizes him- self. Thanks again, sir, and may the strangers you meet always treat you with the same kindness you have shown us.

Unfortunately, the volume gradu- ally keeps going up. Recycling, by now, should be a way of life. Com- posting is next. Pickering will be hosting another one-day composter sale in Septem- ber. In May, all 240 composters, at the subsidized cost of $20 each, were sold by 10:30 a.m. In April, residents in Pickering sent 1,663.58 metric tonnes (18.90 kg per person) of garbage to landfill, which includes curbside collection and apartments. Ajacians sent 1,632.00, or 24.37 kg per person. I request these figures to give us a guide on how well or how poorly we are doing. During Waste Reduction Week in October this year, the Mayors’ Chal- lenge, to see which community sends the least to landfill, will be decided by waste figures from January until the latest available figures. ❑ ❑ ❑ Fast fact: Recycling one ton of waste material saves three cubic yards of landfill space.

But 24-year- old Salvatore Di- caro of Wood- bridge was not breathing by the time he was freed, says a fire department offi- cial. “It sounds like there was about a 10- to 12-minute frenzy of activi- ty” as people at the site attempted to free the man, says Divisional Chief Gord Weir of Clarington Emergency Ser- vices, who adds the man was re- moved from the sand about five minutes after fire- fighters got to the housing construc- tion site. “He wasn’t complete- ly buried when firefighters ar- rived, but he was- n’t breathing.” The man had no vital signs,and was taken by am- bulance to Lak- eridge Health Bowmanville. Police say Mr. Dicaro was acting as a signalman for a dump truck, which was pour- ing a load of sand into a drainage ditch over some piping, when the accident oc- curred. “He sig- nalled to (the dump truck driver to) dump the load, and it start- ed to drop,” says Staff Sergeant Al Mack of the Durham Regional Police Clarington Community Of- fice. Police be- lieve Mr. Dicaro saw the pipe starting to shift, and “signalled to stop, but the load had shifted and came out any- way.” 19 HARWOOD AVE.

AJAX —The Toronto Maple Leafs will officially lose the most popular player in their dressing room when backup goalie Glenn Healy clears waivers Thursday and has his contract bought out by the team. The Ajax resident, who will turn 39 in August, was placed on waivers by the Leafs Saturday and if he clears, as he is expected to, the Leafs will buy out the final year of his contract to make room for Swedish goalie Mikael Tellqvist, who is very close to signing a contract. Teams customarily have 48 hours to claim a player on waivers, but be- cause of both the Canada Day holiday and the Independence Day holiday in the United States today (Wednesday), teams will have until Thursday to claim him. If that doesn’t happen, the Leafs will buy Healy out for $300,000 (all figures in U.S. funds), which rep- resents two-thirds of the $450,000 he was due to make next season. Healy said he will wait until Thurs- day to announce whether he will retire or try to extend his career, but was not bitter about the Leafs’decision. He re- called that when he broke into the league as a full-time player with the Los Angeles Kings in 1987, he effec- tively nudged veteran goalie Al Jensen out of the organization and into retire- ment. “I remember a time when there was a young guy from Pickering who wanted to make his mark and he had the same levy allotted to him,” Healy said. “And I seized the moment and an older guy lost his job. The Leafs have made a decision and I’m not going to stamp my feet and complain about it. Our ties have been cut.” There would not be a shortage of possibilities for Healy should he de- cide to retire. Healy is both well-spo- ken and insightful and it has long been known a job as an analyst for Hockey Night in Canada would be his for the taking after his playing days. Over the past few seasons he has also received a number of assistant coaching jobs and may find himself behind an NHL bench. “I won’t say anything publicly about my plans until Thursday,” Healy said. “I have a game plan and I know what I’d like to do.” Healy joined the Leafs for the 1997-98 season and quickly became a team leader despite the fact he was not the No. 1 goalie. An avid bagpiper in the off-season, Healy often played his music of choice full blast in the dress- ing room and was popular with the media because of his wit and keen in- sights into the game. He always viewed it as a privilege to play for the Leafs and had faint recollections of their last Stanley Cup victory in 1967. His play slipped last season as he posted a 4-7-3 mark with a 2.62 goals- against average and .885 save percent- age. When the Leafs were in jeopardy of losing their playoff spot, they played starter Curtis Joseph in every game down the stretch and Joseph ap- peared in 68 games. That likely won’t happen this sea- son as the Leafs bring in Tellqvist, their top prospect and No. 1 goalie with Djurgardens of the Swedish Elite League. The 21-year-old helped Djur- gardens to its second straight league championship and led all goalies with a 2.08 goals-against average. Tellqvist was selected 70th overall by the Leafs in the 2000 entry draft and will likely play somewhere in the 30-game range, which will give Joseph more rest going into the play- offs. — Torstar News Service NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 4, 2001 PAGE B1 A/P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 4, 2001 A final waive goodbye to Healy’s lengthy NHL career?

PICKERING —An unseeded Pick- ering tennis player rose through the ranks to win the recent Student-Athlete Achievement Award Toronto Women’s Open Tournament. Anna Leksinska, 17, played 26-year- old Ljucovic Sophia, a former number- one under-18 ranked player who re- ceived a full scholarship to the universi- ty of South Carolina, in the final of the event held June 22 to 24 at Toronto’s York University. Leksinska fought hard on the centre-court stadium and went on to win the match and the tournament with a 6-1, 6-4 victory. In the semifinals, Leksinska faced the tournament’s second seed, Jennifer Cremieux, also of Pickering, and scored a 6-0, 6-3 win. Leksinska won her first-round match against Anala Dujsic to advance to the quarter-finals where she defeated Karen Najbert. A student at Dunbarton High School, Leksinska won the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) Tennis Championship for ranked singles’ players. She faced Cremieux in the finals, and came out with a 10-3 victory in games. Leksinska was scheduled to take part in the Provincial Outdoor Tennis Cham- pionships at the Kew Gardens Tennis Club in Toronto. The event began Mon- day, although results were not available at the News Advertiser’s deadline.

The star of such notable hit televi- sion shows as ‘Full House’ and ‘America’s Funniest People’is return- ing to his stand-up comedy roots dur- ing a summer tour, which includes Yuk Yuk’s East in Ajax July 6 to 8. The affable Los Angeles resident and Detroit native has a “certain af- fection for Canada” as many of his relatives were born in Canada, in- cluding his mother. In fact, his grand- mother continues to reside in Bathurst, N.B. Coulier also travels to Canada fre- quently as a member of the Celebrity All-Stars hockey team, which in- cludes Canadians Jason Priestly, Matthew Perry and Alan Thicke. He also served as the honorary captain of the Detroit Red Wings for the NHL’s 75th anniversary celebra- tions. “It’s funny, but every time I go (to Canada) I go through customs and they say ‘Hey Dave, how’s it going?’ So I’m friends with all the customs people in Canada,” says Coulier with a laugh in an interview from his Los Angeles home. Three years removed from the role of Joey Gladstone on ‘Full House’, Coulier explains he was itching to get back into stand-up comedy after tak- ing a well-deserved break. He started out in the genre in 1979 in Detroit at The Comedy Castle that also featured fellow comic and Detroit native, Tim Allen. “I started as a stand-up comic and my roots are on the stage, so I decid- ed to get that (stand-up) comedic muscle back in shape,” he says. His current tour started two weeks ago at Caroline’s on Broadway in New York City and he described the first outing as “great”, although there was some apprehension about start- ing out his tour in front of typically demanding Big Apple audiences. “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere,” he deadpans of his decision. He has since enjoyed sold-out shows at an Illinois comedy club. Coulier says his stand-up routine boasts an “eclectic mix” of comedy, including storytelling, imperson- ations and jokes. “It’s a mixed bag. There’s going to be all kinds of stuff going on. I’ve never been a real good joke teller, so I try to incorporate all the things that I do,” he explains. He notes that after eight years in the ‘Full House’ the best coup of all from doing the popular show was the friendships that have endured among the cast members. “It was an excellent group of peo- ple who really cared about the show,” he says. “The fact that we all stay in touch and get together says a lot about the people on the show.” Tickets for Coulier’s show are $20 each. Showtimes are 8 and 10:45 p.m. on July 6 and 7, and 8:30 p.m. on July 8. Yuk Yuk’s East is at 235 Bayly St. East, Ajax. For more information on the show, or to make reservations, call (905) 434-4985. DAVE COULIER ‘There’s going to be all kinds of stuff going on. I try to incorporate all the things that I do.’ Deanna Knight travels by starlight Durham vocalist releases debut CD BY JOHN DUARTE Staff Editor DURHAM ––It has been a long road to her first CD for Deanna Knight. She has emerged from that jour- ney rejuvenated and with a new- found strength. The Clarington-based singer has just released ‘Shadow of a Star’, an 11-track CD. “I’ve been working on this album for years,” says Knight. “This is a representation of who I am.” Knight says the time was right for ‘Shadow of a Star.’ She admits to “having some healing to do” after leaving the Fat Cats. “I needed a break. I sifted through a lot of emotions and started writ- ing,” she says. “A lot of the songs, the melodies and lyrics, were gifted to me.” ‘She Moon’is an eclectic blend of music. It combines catchy jazz songs and spoken word. “I had to make a decision to either stay on track or go all over the place,” Knight says. “There is a cer- tain amount of excitement as to how people will react.” The singer says the songs on ‘Shadow of a Star’ come from her soul. “These songs are very near and dear to me,” she says. “The CD has given me strength. It has helped me feel stronger - body, mind and spir- it.” Knight quickly points out not all the songs she wrote made it to ‘Shadow of a Star.’ “A lot of the writing I did, I left off the CD,” she says. “This is the happier stuff.” She hopes ‘Shadow of a Star,’and her music in general, has a similar effect on the people who hear it. “I hope peo- ple find it soothing and it makes them happy,” says Knight. “That will validate me as a song- writer.” The recording process itself took approxi- mately one year. Knight went into the studio in March 2000 and the CD was completed and ready to go to market in March this year. She credits the musicians she assembled for the recording as making process enjoy- able. Featured on the disc are George Koller, Jack Walker, Richard Bell, Gary Craig, Oliver Schroer, Carlos Del Junco, Ernie Tollar, Ben Gross- man and Jesse Lucas. “The musicians were able to slip right in and lift the melodies up,” she says. “I found they were really able to link to it. They understood the songs... their intuition.” That was the most surprising part of the process. “They played what I had been hearing in my head,” she says, adding it has helped her come a long way and through some tough times. “Because this is concrete,” Knight continues, “...this is my biggest step forward.” ‘Shadow of a Star’ is available by visiting Knight’s Web site (www.shemoon.com) or by calling 1-877-778-6667.

NEWS ADVERTISER BILLBOARD July 4, 2001ITER questions and answers Environmental assessment process beginning BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Community mem- bers are getting the chance to ask questions on a multi-billion dollar in- ternational energy research facility proposed for Clarington at public meetings within the community. The meetings, which began last week, are part of the environmental assessment process the project must go through to get licensing for Cana- da’s proposed site off Holt Road in Courtice, says Katherine Moshonas of the ITER International Fusion En- ergy Institute, an agency set up as a precursor to the one which will even- tually operate the facility if it is sited in Canada. ITER will be an international fu- sion research facility operated by in- ternational partners including the Eu- ropean Union, Japan and Russia. Canada has submitted a bid to host the facility and is estimated as having a 60 per cent chance of success against other bids expected to be sub- mitted by France and Japan, accord- ing to Dr. Murray Stewart, Director of ITER Canada. Although Canada has not yet won the bid, the ITER Institute is pro- ceeding with the EA so licensing will be in place should Canada be suc- cessful, says Mr. Stewart. At a meeting at Faith United Church in Courtice Tuesday, a num- ber of residents and environmental activists were in attendance and questioned the environmental safety, funding and energy requirements of the facility. Dave Renaud, president of the CAW Environmental Council, expressed concern hydro would be taken out of the grid to power the facility, which, for some short peak bursts, requires as much as 650 MW of power, a sub- stantial draw. He added generation of that power is an added pollutant to the environ- ment. Resident Suzanne Elston agreed, saying this was of more concern given Ontario’s move toward a dereg- ulated market and power shortages in other areas of North America. “My big concern is what kind of commit- ment has OPG made to this project and will we (residents) end up with brown-outs?” Dr. Stewart agreed the facility would, at times, require substantial power, which ultimately does pro- duce some pollution when generated. However, he said, “With any research and development there is a net invest- ment of money in, power in and peo- ple in.” But the result of the research, if it was successful, would be a far greater good in producing a safer, cleaner and sustainable energy source for the world in the latter half of the century than any pollution cre- ated from the power generated to run the facility, he said. Anytime General Motors or any other corporation expands, there is also a need for more power yet no one would argue expansion shouldn’t occur, he added. Although the baseload power for the facility will be generated at Dar- lington, Dr. Stewart said, the short bursts will be pulled from other On- tario Power Generation plants as well. He noted the Ontario energy market is “tremendously stable,” and in a worst-case scenario a co-genera- tion plant dedicated to the site’s ener- gy needs could be built. Dr. Stewart emphasized ITER will pay fair mar- ket value for all the electricity it re- quires. The opening of the market is “the only complication but it means OPG can sell directly to us. Technically we know it’s feasible,” he said, adding it is just the marketing conditions that need to be resolved. Ms. Elston also expressed concern about the amount of money - estimat- ed to be about $12 billion - going into the research instead of alternative en- ergy sources such as wind and solar power. “At the end of the day, the Ontario government is funding $300 million and there is not a nickel from the feds,” said Dr. Stewart. “There are things we need from them but not money.” He noted much of the funding comes from the other international partners as well as private enterprise within Canada. All types of energy resources, in- cluding wind and solar power as well as fusion should be researched to meet the long-term energy needs of the globe, he said. “I would be more concerned if we didn’t do all the op- tions. Then I’d be more concerned for my grandchildren. I don’t see the logic in closing off any technology that could be the (source of energy) in 50 to 100 years.” More community meetings are planned as part of the EA process and will be publicized, Dr. Stewart said. Durham police seek parole violator DURHAM –– Durham Re- gional Police is requesting the public’s help in locating a man wanted on a federal police warrant. Peter Adam Lyman, 22, has a lengthy crimi- nal record that includes con- victions for kid- napping, rob- bery, and as- sault with a weapon. In his most recent convic- tion he and his co-accused kid- napped a jew- eller and forced him into his ve- hicle. They then used duct tape and a blindfold to control the victim, whom they then sprayed with pepper spray and beat with a tire iron. Mr. Lyman is described as a white male, 5- foot-9 tall and 146 pounds. He has short red hair, hazel- coloured eyes, and a pierced left ear. There’s a scar on the bridge of his nose. Mr. Lyman was granted federal parole on June 16, 2001, with con- ditions to report to the Keele Street Centre in Toronto. He failed to appear and a federal parole warrant was is- sued. Investigators believe he is in the Ajax area. He is consid- ered a violent threat to public safety. Anyone with information on Peter Lyman is asked to call Durham Re- gional Police at 1-888-579- 1520, ext. 5357 or Crime Stop- pers at 1-800- 222-TIPS.
