Here’s hooking at you
PICKERING ––Mark Schuey displays one of his ‘canemaster’techniques dur-
ing a self-defence seminar presented to area seniors Thursday. The event, host-
ed by Kosho Ryu International, was held at the South Pickering Seniors’Activ-
ity Centre.
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Pickering is on the hook for
$10,000 in court fees and has been harshly criticized by
a Superior Court justice for failing to properly enforce its
own home-based business bylaw.
Pickering residents Fred and Barbara Beer filed a
civil case against their neighbours, John and Julia Hayes,
after several complaints to the City about the Hayes
failed to stop them from parking heavy trucks, storage
bins, and other equipment on their north Pickering prop-
erty, in contravention of the City’s bylaw.
The Beers claimed the Hayes were running an elec-
trical contracting operation under the guise of a nut tree
farm and calling it a home-based business when they
weren’t even living on the property.
In his decision, Justice Donald Ferguson of Ontario
Superior Court found “the nut tree farm was a ploy to try
to legitimize the use of the property for the electrical
contracting business” in a bid to get a home-based busi-
ness licence. In addition, he noted using the land for an
electrical operation was contradictory to zoning and the
City’s home-based business bylaw.
Justice Ferguson also criticized the City for failing to
enforce the bylaw, saying its actions, or lack thereof,
forced the Beers “to bear the burden and cost of bringing
this matter to court in order to enforce the City’s by-
laws”.
His Sept. 14 decision stated, “The City apparently
chose to ignore the overwhelming evidence provided by
the neighbours and to broker a political deal with the
Hayes only. I recognize that the City and its officials are
entitled to some deference in interpreting and applying
their own bylaws. However, I conclude the position of
the City concerning compliance with this bylaw is
patently unreasonable.”

Justice Ferguson found while one
City bylaw officer attempted to force
the Hayes to comply with the bylaw
and put a restriction on the home-
based business licence to not allow
storage of heavy trucks on the prop-
erty, the City’s position changed
after a meeting with the Hayes, City
staff, and a local councillor.
In his decision, Justice Ferguson
quoted from part of an internal 1998
City of Pickering memo referring to
the change that stated, “Although the
electrical contracting business that is
located within the residence does not
fully comply with all aspects of the
Town’s home-based business bylaw,
it is our opinion that the business is
currently being operated within the
general spirit and intent of that
bylaw”.
A copy of the memo obtained by
the Beers through a Freedom of In-
formation Act request and which
Justice Ferguson referred to, indi-
cates the Hayes, Ward 3 Regional
Councillor Rick Johnson, and other
City staff, not including the original
bylaw officer assigned to the case,
were present at that meeting.
In an interview Wednesday,
Coun. Johnson denied any knowl-
edge of the case, the Hayes or the
meeting, and referred any other
questions to his lawyer, adding,
“Print whatever you want.”
Justice Ferguson also made refer-
ence in his decision to the original
bylaw officer’s efforts in the case
and noted she was told to remove
any restrictions, continue to renew
the Hayes’ licence and discontinue
investigation of the property.
Justice Ferguson disagreed with
the City’s position, stating in his de-
cision the intent of the bylaw was to
allow a home-based business “clear-
ly subordinate to the primary resi-
dential use of that unit” and since the
Hayes were not living there and the
business was clearly the primary use
of the property, they were in viola-
tion.
While awarding court costs to the
Beers, Justice Ferguson also found
the City should be partly responsible
because of its role in failing to prop-
erly enforce the bylaw.
“While I recognize that the City
has the right to exercise some discre-
tion in the enforcement of its bylaws,
I find that it did not do so in good
faith,” his Oct. 11 endorsement on
costs states. “I also find that (the
City’s) conduct prolonged and com-
plicated the dispute between the
other parties and the trial. I order that
the other respondents are entitled to
indemnity against the City for the
costs awarded to the applicants to
the extent of $10,000.”
The justice noted in his decision,
“The City chose not to participate in
this proceeding in order to explain
its conduct or position.”
In an interview Friday, Pickering
Mayor Wayne Arthurs said the City
has no immediate plans to appeal.
“Municipalities often find them-
selves before the courts related to
bylaw enforcement in the case of
neighbour disputes,” he said. “They
don’t always win, they’re not always
right and I understand in this case
some costs have been attributed to
the City. I expect staff will review
the processes and administration of
bylaw enforcement to better protect
the City’s interests... Staff will re-
view the judgments, review the prac-
tices that led to (the judgment) and
try to avoid this in the future.”
Justice Ferguson ordered the
Hayes to remove the storage con-
tainers, all vehicles belonging to the
business except for two, which can
be a car or van only, all trucks, trail-
ers, boom or crane trucks, mechani-
cal jacks and other heavy equipment
and materials related to the business
by Oct. 30.
He also ordered the Hayes to per-
mit inspection of the property by the
City, without notice, to enforce his
order, adding the City should “vigor-
ously enforce” the order and bylaw.
In addition, he ordered inspections
by Nov. 1, another by May 31, 2002
and at other times as are necessary.
John Hayes represented himself
in the case and could not be reached
for comment. A Whitevale phone
number listed for the Hayes has been
disconnected and calls to a listed
number for the electrical contracting
business reached an answering ser-
vice, which said he is on vacation
until Nov. 19.

BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Rising
costs to finance two Hwy.
401 interchanges, declining
industrial assessment, in-
creasing debt payments and
ever-escalating police costs
are just a few of the budget
pressures Durham council
will have to contend with in
the coming months as they
set a budget for 2002.
At Wednesday’s meeting,
Durham’s finance and admin-
istration committee balked at
recommendations that would
mean a six-per cent increase
to the regional portion of
2002 tax bills and asked staff
to look for reductions.
“Costs are continually
growing like a cancer inside
the organization,” said Pick-
ering Councillor Mark Hol-
land. “It’s very destructive to
our budget process.”
In particular, he raised
concerns about the police
budget, which accounts for
half of the total increase to
the regional budget.
“It’s growing at levels that
give you nose bleeds,” said
Coun. Holland, noting the
police department is asking
for a 13-per cent increase in
its budget, representing a
three-per cent overall in-
crease to the Region’s budget.
“Nothing grows at 13 per
cent.”
Clarington Mayor John
Mutton raised concerns about
ballooning debt-financing
costs in Durham’s five-year
financial forecast.
“I think there’s some very
scary figures in this docu-
ment,” he said, adding the es-
calating cost of Hwy. 401 in-
terchanges at Stevenson and
Lakeridge roads are of con-
cern because no upper limit
was ever placed on the pro-
jects. Recent escalations in
construction prices have
pushed costs associated with
the projects, which Durham
is committed to partially fi-
nancing along with local mu-
nicipalities and the Province,
up at a time when develop-
ment charge income for roads
received by the Region has
decreased.
The cost of the inter-
changes is expected to take
30 to 50 per cent of develop-
ment charges away from
other regional road projects,
the committee heard.
Mayor Mutton also ques-
tioned whether it was time for
the Region to get out of the
nursing home business, not-
ing Hillsdale Manor, with
less than 500 residents, ac-
counts for $53 million of the
proposed 2002 budget.
The financial picture pre-
sented to the committee
“calls into question the need
to look at the feasibility of
new initiatives”, suggested
Oshawa Councillor John
Gray, who added the Region
must weigh carefully whether
it can afford to go ahead with
proposed transit initiatives.
“People will go ballistic if
they know there’s tax increas-
es at this level for years to
come,” he predicted.
Jim Clapp, Durham’s fi-
nance commissioner, noted
industrial assessment is also
declining, in part to the
Provincial property reassess-
ment process and to a lack of
substantial growth in that sec-
tor. One Tim Hortons restau-
rant provides the equivalent
tax income to 10 houses, he
noted.
The commissioner also
warned residents may actual-
ly receive a slightly higher in-
crease in taxes once a review
of the tax system is complet-
ed. The review is expected to
recommend an additional tax
shift off of multi-residential
and industrial properties that
will have to be picked up by
the residential sector, he said.
The committee has asked
staff to proceed with a draft
budget based on the six-per
cent increase (three per cent
for police, three per cent for
the rest of the expenditures),
but to also present another
based on a four-per cent in-
crease (two for police, two
for other costs) so councillors
can decide what level of ser-
vice is most appropriate.

Durham emergency rescue volunteers put out call for help
Volunteer rescue group
asks for $150,000
in regional funding
DURHAM —A regional volun-
teer rescue group is looking for a little
help.
The Ontario Volunteer Emergency
Rescue Team (OVERT) is asking
Durham council for about $150,000 to
cover operating search and rescue
costs and to allow the group to expand
its membership.
“There is clearly a need to have
this service in the region for the resi-
dents,” Shane Harbinson, OVERT co-
ordinator, told the Durham finance
and administration committee recent-
ly.
OVERT responds to requests from
the Durham Regional Police Service
when it is in need of large-scale
search and rescue operations. The ma-
jority of the victims OVERT conducts
searches for are young children,
Alzheimer’s patients and other vul-
nerable people, explained Mr. Harbin-
son, who added it is critical for the or-
ganization to have a large pool of
highly-skilled volunteers who can
respond quickly.
OVERT volunteers commit to
about 1,000 hours a year of train-
ing and field time, pay their own
gas to the required destination
and are on call 24 hours a day, he
explained. The organization,
which was conceived in 1991 and
became operational in 1996, is a
fully self-sufficient service ready
to respond in crisis.
To maintain this status, the or-
ganization must cover many ex-
penses for training, operations
and equipment, such as a pager
system that cost the group about
$8,000 to maintain last year, Mr.
Harbinson said.
The committee suggested Mr.
Harbinson approach the Durham
Police Services Board to include
the OVERT funding request in
the police budget for 2002. As
well, committee members en-
couraged Mr. Harbinson to apply
to Durham’s eight municipalities
for additional funding.

Get reacquainted with that lifelong magical friend
Books bridge generations, stir emotions and will surprise you with the impact they can have
We’ve just wrapped up a pretty
significant week here in Canada. At
least from where I sit anyway. But if
you didn’t get enough of or missed
Canadian Children’s Book Week al-
together, there’s still time to cele-
brate as our American cousins take a
turn toasting the value of a good
story over the coming seven days.
Sure, each week on the calendar
seems to have some sort of label
(and in many cases three or four) at-
tached to it these days. From fire
prevention week, to falls prevention
week, family week, and small busi-
ness week, the list seems to go on
and on. But somehow book week has
so much more significance or impor-
tance. Wouldn’t you agree?
After all, a good story can bridge
generation gaps, stir emotions like
nothing else and paint a million dif-
ferent pictures in the mind’s eye.
Still not convinced? Then look at it
this way: books are like a lifelong
friend — they’re always there, no
matter the time, stage of your life or
situation you may be in. Try getting
that from TV.
A phone call the other day re-
minded me of just how special books
can be. It came from a publishing
house promoting an upcoming visit
by Walter Gretzky to Coles in the
Pickering Town Centre Nov. 23 at 7
p.m. He’ll be there to sign copies of
his autobiography, ‘Walter Gretzky,
On Family, Hockey and Healing’.
You can bet I’ll be lined up for a
chance to tell him about the positive
impact he and his son Wayne had on
my life. It’s an impression made
through years of watching television
interviews, reading newspapers,
magazines and scouring score sheets
and statistics. But mostly, I think,
my admiration for father and son
began with Walter Gretzky’s book,
simply titled ‘Gretzky’, about his
son, the greatest to ever play the
game of hockey, growing up from
that backyard rink in Brantford so
many years ago, to the Stanley Cup.
It was refreshing to me then and it
still is now, how unaffected the two
seemed to be by the massive amount
of fame in their lives. How good they
seemed to be not on the ice, but off
it. And how strong their relationship
is. No matter how much I continue to
read, I’ve yet to come across another
pair quite the same.
So, I’ll be at the Pickering Town
Centre Nov. 23, armed with a pen for
an autograph, but also with a story
about the impact they’ve had — on
the off-chance I’ll get the opportuni-
ty to tell it in 30 seconds or so.
My, books can be magical, can’t
they?

Library board not
mistaken — veterans
fought for right to
have different views
To the editor:
Re: ‘Where was library board’s apology,’
letter to the editor, Nov. 2.
As a veteran, I believe one of the prin-
ciples I defended is that it is OK to dis-
agree.
The Pickering Library Board did not
make a mistake. They did not do some-
thing wrong. They did not do something
contrary to “common sense”, as writer
Ronald E. Dawe put it.
They did not set out to embarrass,
anger, or slight anyone. They did some-
thing with which others disagreed. They
have been forced to change it by those
who disagreed with their action.
But no apology is appropriate. Be-
cause of the freedom won by veterans, it
is OK to disagree.

Hundreds of thousands of fuel bundles of spent radioactive ma-
terial may not be leaving Durham as expected when the region’s
two nuclear plants are decommissioned.
Yet, at least one local MP didn’t think residents here needed to
be alerted to the legislation, nor does he think the communities af-
fected should be compensated if the waste, always intended to leave
Durham, does remain.
Proposed legislation will direct Ontario Power Generation to
make recommendations to the federal government over the next
three years as to where the waste for the Darlington and Pickering
nuclear generating stations should be permanently stored.
One of three possible options is an on-site storage solution that
could see the waste remain there in perpetuity.
In the past there has been considerable debate about the wisdom
of a proposed geological burial of the waste in the Canadian Shield.
Opponents suggest tossing radioactive waste down a big hole in a
pristine landscape is unwise, given the possibility future technolo-
gies could be discovered that would make that solution look like ar-
chaic ecological folly. The federal government wants other options.
Although there has never been any consensus as to where the
waste should go, there was never a suggestion the host communi-
ties of nuclear plants would bear the future burden of permanent
storage. Clarington Mayor John Mutton and Pickering Mayor
Wayne Arthurs suggest the legislation is flawed on two levels. First,
it puts this highly-sensitive decision-making process into the hands
of the industry, which they suggest, is “like putting the fox in charge
of the hen house”.
A commission looking at the issue in the mid-1990s had sug-
gested an arm’s-length committee form recommendations on the
long-term storage,points out Irene Kock of the Sierra Club of Cana-
da. She too would like to see the process taken out of the hands of
those with a financial stake in the end result.
Secondly, the mayors say, if the communities must store the
waste, the legislation should ensure OPG compensates them for the
resulting impact on the communities. After all, they rightly point
out, permanent storage was never part of the agreement when the
nuclear facilities came to Durham.
Durham MP Alex Shepherd disagrees. He said the communities
already benefited from the investment made to build the plants and
by the resulting employment. But as the mayors argue, the commu-
nities already paid the price for those jobs by living in the shadow
of nuclear facilities. Long-term storage is an entirely different issue
never factored into the original deals. The MP’s position is even
more puzzling, given that the mayors are asking for OPG, not fed-
eral taxpayers, to bear the brunt of compensation.
It begs the question: Who is really being represented in Ottawa?
Storage never part
of nuclear deal
Yet waste may stay here in perpetuity
if host communities deemed best option

Staff Writer
DURHAM –– The idea of yes-
terday’s pizza scraps, dryer lint and
even dirty diapers coming back to
you as electricity and triple mix gar-
den fertilizer may seem a little out
there, but it seems the future is here
and Durham may be about to em-
brace it.
The Region is searching for a
way to cut the amount of garbage
headed for landfill in half by 2007
or sooner and organic diversion may
be a big leap toward that end, sug-
gests Peter Watson, Durham’s waste
manager.
“If we are going to reach our 50
per cent diversion, we have to get
food waste out of the garbage bag,”
says Mr. Watson who adds, “40 per
cent of what residents throw out is
compostable.”
Durham is not alone in its think-
ing, he adds, noting at a conference
of the Recycling Council of Ontario
last month ‘organics’ was the buzz
word on the tip of every waste man-
ager’s tongue.
“That is the new cutting edge
way everybody wants to go,” he
confirms.
With Vaughan’s Keele Valley
landfill (where Durham currently
sends the majority of its garbage)
set to close in late 2002, the Region
will be looking for any viable alter-
natives to landfill to take its place.
The awareness about the environ-
mental problems associated with
landfill is one obvious motivator to
divert garbage elsewhere.
But there are other concerns too.
First there is the issue of finding
a host community that wants to take
approximately 145,000 tonnes of
garbage, the amount Durham sent to
landfill in 2000. If the garbage does
go to landfill, ideally it would be to
a nearby community because trans-
portation costs add up. Then there
are the tipping fees at any prospec-
tive dump; fees expected to be dras-
tically higher than those Durham
currently pays at the Vaughan site,
which was created 20 years ago
when dumps were not the valuable
commodity they are today.
While the Region may be
the tier of government charged
with storage of the garbage, it’s
Durham’s eight local municipalities
that collect it. To change disposal
patterns, you must first change the
collection process, suggests Mr.
Watson. Municipalities are doing
just that.
Whitby council is currently con-
sidering a pilot kitchen waste col-
lection program. And in Pickering
this week, the City jumped into the
future with both feet, implementing
a six-month pilot project in more
than 500 homes that will see resi-
dents sorting their organics into one
cart while splitting up recyclables
and garbage in another cart before
wheeling them to the curb. It’s a
project at least one Pickering coun-
cillor hopes will usher in a new era
of waste management for the city,
and ultimately the region.
“We (Pickering) have suffered
because of landfill,” says Councillor
Maurice Brenner, referring to two
dumps the city’s residents fought to
close.
“We know what it’s like. If I had
my way we’d have a 2003-2004 im-
plementation. It’s possible.”
Possible, it is. But it will require
the Region step up its current recy-
cling capabilities, says Pickering’s
waste co-ordinator, Stephen Brake.
“The
Region’s
program current-
ly only accepts type
one plastics. Because it wanted to
see how accepted and efficient the
program can be, the Region has
agreed to take all recyclable plastics
for the pilot.” If at the end of the
project Pickering decides to proceed
with the program but the Region de-
cides it doesn’t want to continue ac-
cepting a higher level of recyclables,
then, Mr. Brake points out, Picker-
ing city council has the right to find
somewhere that will.
Like Coun. Brenner, Mr. Brake
is keen to see the program succeed.
“I’ve been a resident of the town
(now city) all my life and I know the
City’s long-standing battle against
landfill,” he says. He finds it en-
couraging 98 per cent of the resi-
dents in the pilot project area agreed
to sign on with the cart program.
The program, he adds, will make
it easier for residents to toss recy-
clable material where it belongs.
“In our waste audits we were
finding there’s still a quantity of re-
cyclables people are putting in the
garbage,” says Mr. Brake, who sug-
gests people run out of blue box
space before recycle day and end up
tossing recyclables in the garbage
for the remainder of the week.
The cart provides four times as
much space for recyclables than the
blue box does, he explains.
Pickering isn’t the only munici-
pality ready to turn green. Four
other municipalities - Clarington,
Brock,
Scugog and
Uxbridge - will
be signing onto new
collection agreements in the spring
of 2002. Instead of heading out in
their own directions, the municipal-
ities have agreed to contract collec-
tion through the Region for a
process aimed to, among other
things, get those organics out of the
garbage bag with a possible destina-
tion at a composting plant.
“It will be integrating into one
common way of doing business,”
says Mr. Watson, who notes the re-
quest for proposal (RFP) closed
Nov. 6 and within a couple of
months a new system, collectors
and possibly even a final disposal
destination will be chosen. While
the Region went into the proposal
process with an idea of how it want-
ed the waste collected, it is keeping
an open mind, says Mr. Watson.
He notes the RFP allowed bid-
ders to bid on core collection, in-
cluding separation of recyclables
and organics, and allowed them to
offer a bid on alternative or addi-
tional services, disposal and even
an opportunity to put forward a
“new, innovative waste disposal
method different than outlined in
the RFP.”
Though he can’t say what the
winning collection system will ulti-
mately look like, it’s pretty safe to
say residents can expect changes at
their curb this spring. As Mr. Wat-
son relates, “The whole goal is to
reduce.”
Garbage
to earth
Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner stands among the recycling carts at the Pickering works
yard. Pickering has adopted a pilot project in 500 homes that will see residents sort organics into
one cart while splitting recyclables and garbage into another.
This is the 11th in a series of
monthly features covering waste
management issues in Durham
Region. In this story we look at
the possibility of using organic
garbage for electricity and
garden fertilizer.
From table scraps to electricity,
organics create energy and more
DURHAM –– Organic waste becomes part of the circle of life when
it is separated from other garbage and sent to a composting facility,
says Peter Watson, Durham’s waste manager.
This spring, four Durham municipalities will begin garbage collec-
tion under new contracts through the Region and depending who wins
the bid for the collection, the contract could include disposal of organic
waste at Canada Composting Inc. (CCI), says Randy Cluff, spokesman
for the Newmarket company.
If that happens, Durham residents could be sending their kitchen
scraps, pet litter and other organic waste to a place where it will be-
come methane gas to produce electricity and to be composted down to
a soil enhancer sold at many Ontario garden centres, Mr. Cluff says.
“It’s a methodology that’s really caught on in the last two years in
North America,” he says. Organic separation will become more com-
monplace in the near future throughout this continent, he predicts.
“Compared to Europe, North America is way behind.The reason is
simple. Here there’s massive land mass compared to Europe.” But as
landfill becomes a more expensive and politically less-popular alterna-
tive in Canada, he is convinced the tide will soon change here as well.

BETTER LEARNING 2001
Staying Involved In your Child's Education
By Dr. Gary Hunt
A child's education is a partnership consisting
of your child, teachers, and parents. Many parents
have a hectic schedule and a busy social life, includ-
ing the organization of their children's extra-curricu-
lar activities. To get the most out of your time with
your child, and to keep involved in your child's edu-
cation to the fullest here are some ideas.
It is important to keep in constant contact with
your child's school. The administration is always
interested in talking with involved parents. Parents
with flexible work schedules can volunteer to help out
in the classroom. You can always become involved
with the school Parent Teacher Association.
Regardless of the amount of time you commit, any
effort to establish a link with your child's school will
be of great benefit.
One of the most important things you do each
year, is establish a friendly and cooperative relation-
ship with your child's teachers. They nurture and
develop your child's learning. They have a genuine
interest in seeing your child progress over the year.
Input and feedback from the parents is important to
teachers. The parent-teacher interview is an appro-
priate time for cooperation to take place. Following
the interview, try to keep in regular contact with the
teacher. You might want to send him/her an occa-
sional note, demonstrating that you have genuine
interest your child's development.
Always listen to what your child tells you. Ask
your child specific questions related to school work.
Do not stop at "How was your day?" Ask what he/she
learned in math, to describe any science experiments
that he/she conducted, or to read journal entries at
the dinner table. Help your child when he/she is hav-
ing difficulty doing some homework assignment.
Seek professional help if you notice a persistent prob-
lem in some subject area. Show your child how to
organize his/her time with a planning agenda.
Above all else, show confidence and pride in your
child! There is nothing like praise and encourage-
ment from you, the parent, to help your child develop
self-esteem! For more information, call your local
Grade Expectations in Pickering at (905) 420-9930.

Wine club
tastes success
Pickering group
offers hands-on
appreciation,
lessons
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Fresh
off the pressing of their
reds, Pickering Wine Club
members are well into a
process that will produce a
wine they say is as good as
any other — at a fraction
of the cost.
Paul Stuart, past-presi-
dent and Web master, said
the 23-year-old club gets
its grapes from the same
place many of Niagara’s
commercial wineries do,
and by following an age-
old pressing, fermentation,
aging and bottling process,
is able to produce a wine
of excellent quality.
“The wine is the same
quality as wineries in Nia-
gara,” he said. “It’s just as
good, if not better, because
we do it as a labour of
love.”
Following the recent
pressing of the fermented
grapes, the juice was left to
ferment some more and
racked to remove the
“gunk”, said Mr. Stuart.
It is then left to age in
oak barrels for up to a year
or more before bottling.
The particular grape
used in this case was a
zweigelt of German origin
purchased in Niagara, and
will be blended with other
Pinot or Gamay noir wines
to make a finished product.
Mr. Stuart said the aver-
age bottle costs club mem-
bers as little as $3 to pro-
duce.
“It’s too expensive to
drink commercial wine,”
he said. “We do it because
we enjoy creating some-
thing and there is a satis-
faction when you make a
bottle as good as any com-
mercial winery or even
better.
“It feels good to open a
bottle of commercial wine
with friends and be able to
say I have something bet-
ter in the cellar.”
Along with the reds, the
club makes a variety of
different wines throughout
the year that are blind taste
tested and evaluated at
monthly meetings.
Each April, Mr. Stuart
said the club’s best wines
are chosen and brought to
the annual Amateur Wine-
makers of Ontario festival.
Next June’s festival is in
Hamilton and along with
showcasing its wines, Mr.
Stuart said it will also be a
good chance for the club to
attend information semi-
nars and taste test the best
of other Ontario amateurs.
“Really it’s a lot of tast-
ing, tasting, and tasting,”
he said.
The wine club shares
equipment among mem-
bers and meets on the sec-
ond Thursday of each
month for tastings.
New members are al-
ways welcome and Mr.
Stuart urges those interest-
ed to check out the club’s
Web site at www3.sympa-
tico.ca/pcstuart/webpage.h
tm.
Allan Gilker presses grapes during the preparation of
a new batch of wine. He’s a member of the Pickering
Wine Club, which has been operating for 23 years lo-
cally.
PICKERING —A 19-year old
man has been charged in a knife at-
tack at a local Pizza Pizza restaurant.
The man turned himself in to
Durham Regional Police Oct. 31, in
connection with an Oct. 19 incident at
the 1450 Kingston Rd. store. That
night, a man walked into the store
around 10:50 p.m. and began slashing
at customers with a knife. Several vic-
tims received minor cuts, but none re-
quired hospitalization.
Jason Lindon Cadogan, of no fixed
address, is charged with aggravated
assault, assault with a weapon, five
counts of assault, two counts of
threatening death, and two counts of
weapon dangerous. He was released
on bail Nov. 5, and will make his next

‘Reckless’to pursue
more tax cuts: McGuinty
Opposition leader
calls for security during
stop in Durham
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The security of On-
tario families — both fiscally and phys-
ically — was the message Ontario Lib-
eral leader Dalton McGuinty brought to
a group of his supporters Wednesday
night.
“We’ve got to put a firewall around
those services we have to have,” said
the leader of the Opposition at a down-
town Whitby restaurant for a meeting
of the Whitby-Ajax Provincial Liberal
Riding Association. “But the provincial
government has committed so much
money to corporate tax cuts that health
care and education have suffered.”
Visiting a community whose econo-
my is tied to the fortunes of corpora-
tions like General Motors of Canada,
Mr. McGuinty called for the cancella-
tion of the Tories’ $2.2 billion in tax
cuts for Ontario’s wealthiest corpora-
tions. The MPP from Ottawa South
came to Finance Minister Jim Flaher-
ty’s home riding to chide the govern-
ment for tax breaks parents of children
attending private schools will receive,
an initiative brought forward in last
May’s budget.
“The voters of Ontario are smart and
they have an appetite for change,”
warned Mr. McGuinty. “I haven’t
found a single economist yet that says
corporate tax cuts create jobs. A
healthy U.S. economy has been helpful
to us (Ontario), but during the last year,
Jim Flaherty has lost 30,000 jobs in
Ontario. It is reckless to pursue more
corporate tax cuts.
“And Ontario needs a security plan.
In the wake of Sept. 11, people want
substance... there’s nothing to help mu-
nicipalities prepare for emergencies,
and there’s no plan to create jobs.”
Mr. McGuinty called on the
Province to create jobs by speeding up
$1-billion worth of previously an-
nounced infrastructure projects. “And
then take 10 per cent, that’s $100-mil-
lion, and dedicate that to security mea-
sures.”
On Tuesday, Mr. Flaherty an-
nounced $30 million in new security
measures, but Mr. McGuinty claims the
Tories have only budgeted an addition-
al $11 million to the issue.
The reception at Mondo Bar and
Grill was held hours after an announce-
ment indicated former high-profile On-
tario cabinet minister Ernie Eves is ex-
pected to make a bid to re-enter politics
as Mike Harris’s replacement for pre-
mier and leader of the Conservatives.
“I say bring him on,” said Mr.
McGuinty.

they have an appetite for change.’

visions in wonderful works of art.

Owners David Ryan and Cathy
Laskar-Allamby opened their unique
gallery last June with the goal of show-
casing the talents of local artists.
“We wanted to display original
artworks rather than prints,” says
Cathy. “Aplace where people can enjoy
unique and beautiful pieces created by
artists in their own community.”
The contemporary works would
look great in any home or office and
with Christmas coming they would
make an ideal gift.
“We designed our gallery espe-
cially for browsing,” says David. “We
want people to come in and enjoy the
art. Some come back again and again
finally buying a piece they’ve had their
eye on.”
Visit the gallery starting Nov. 21st
for a presentation of four local artists in
a display called “Variations of Metal
and Glass”.
Also come on Nov. 23rd for an
open house from 7 to 10 p.m. when

the artists in person.

Development at
Harwood, Hwy. 2 in Ajax
gets initial go-ahead
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX —Development on a
portion of vacant land at the
northwest cor-
ner of Harwood
Avenue and
Hwy. 2 has
been given the
go-ahead.
Ajax coun-
cil’s communi-
ty affairs and
planning com-
mittee ap-
proved on Mon-
day a site plan
submitted by a
numbered com-
pany for First
Professional
Management.
The plan is
for the eastern
half of the va-
cant land and
will allow the
company to
build, in two
phases, about
60,000 square
feet of commer-
cial space.
Pending
final approval
by council,
construction of
the first phase
is expected to
start by the end
of the year and
will include a
30,000-square-
foot Best Buy
electronics out-
let and a 5,000-
sq.-ft. Kelsey’s
Restaurant,
which won’t
have an outdoor
patio.
“From First
Pro’s perspec-
tive, we’d like
to go to con-
struction next
year” on the
second phase,
First Profes-
sional spokesman Ornella
Richichi told the committee
Monday.
Vehicular access to the proper-
ty will come from a signalized
entrance off Hwy. 2.
Town planner Dave Meredith
told the committee there would
be no vehicle access to the site
from either Harwood Avenue or
Ducatel Crescent.
Mr. Meredith also noted the
Town received an application
from Loblaws on Monday to have
a large food store on the western
portion of the property.
“In all likelihood, Loblaws
will obtain these (western)
lands,” Mr. Meredith said.
Ms. Richichi added that
Loblaw Properties would, within
a week or two, purchase the land
running westerly to Post Hill
Manor.
One matter holding up
Loblaws is a restriction imposed
by the Town limiting food stores
on the site to 15,000 sq. ft.
Loblaws, through its lawyers, has
filed an appeal with the Ontario
Municipal Board to have the re-
striction removed.
“There are a number of issues
that have to be dealt with to the
west,” Mr. Meredith said at the
meeting.
One of the issues is access
from the vacant lands to the en-
trance-exit on the Post Hill prop-
erty, he added.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU.
Here are some other key environmental improvements we are currently working on
to return Pickering A to service:
REPLACING copper condenser tubes with steel to prevent the discharge of copper to the lake.
E X PA N D E D water sampling program to ensure that pollutants are not entering the lake.
P R E V E NTING spills is our goal.
UPGRADED emissions monitoring equipment.
MY NAME IS HELEN SPENCER and I work for
Ontario Power Generation here at Pickering Nuclear.
I’m one of the many employees dedicated to returning
Pickering A to service. And I’m a neighbour –
my family and I live ten minutes from the station.
Reducing Copper Emissions
As an Environmental Specialist, one of my jobs here
at the station is to manage the replacement of copper
tubes in all of Pickering A’s condensers. The tubes
contain cool lake water which is used to condense
steam from the station’s boilers after it has been used
to spin the turbines. As part of our environmental
commitment we are installing steel tubes, which
will eliminate copper discharges into the lake. These
installations will be completed on all units before
they are returned to service.
Preventing Spills
Another pollution prevention project I’m working
on involves managing our spill containment and
prevention program. We are installing dikes and
berms around potential on-site spill sources such
as outdoor transformers and storage tanks. If a spill
does occur, these improvements will help to ensure
that the environmental impact is minimized. It’s
part of our commitment to operating Pickering A
in an environmentally responsible way.
Meeting International Standards
My team and I are also responsible for maintaining
our station’s environmental certification under ISO
14001, which is a recognized international standard
for environmental management.
When all the improvements to Pickering A have
been completed, we can return this important source
of power to residents and industry in Ontario.

ADVERTISING FEATURE
Dear Readers:Every so often I come
across some information that I know will
be of interest to most everyone, whether
they currently have foot problems or not,
yet no one would even think to ask. For
example when you buy a new pair of
shoes, how do you lace them? Do you
take into account your foot shape, arch
height, flexibility, tendency for heel slip-
page or blackened toe nails? Probably
not, because our mothers taught us how
to lace a shoe in one particular way (the
conventional crisscross to the top of the
show technique) and we have not varied
from it. And for the most of us this will
continue to work well. Beginning at the
bottom of the shoe and pull the laces one
set of eyelets at a time to tighten. This will
distribute stress evenly across the eyelets
and therefore across the top of the foot
and allow for a more comfortable fit.
However, for those who do have
specific gait problems or who have feet
that are not average shaped, here are a
few lace alternatives to the standard that
may help keep you tied to be fit.
Let’s Ask
The
Podiatrist
Are You Fit To Be Tied
...Or Tied To Be Fit?
Ronald J.
Klein,
B.Sc.,
D.P.M.
Podiatrist-
Foot
Specialist
Did you ever wonder why your
new shoes seem to have extra eyelets?
Even manufacturers have designed their
shoes to allow for custom lacing. The
wider placed eyelets allow for laces to be
pulled in more tightly and are therefore
used for narrower feet, while the narrow-
er placed eyelets allow for more girth and
are more suitable for wider feet.
The following pattern of lacing is
ideal for those with a bony prominence
on the top of their foot as it minimizes
pressure. You begin in the conventional
manner until you approach the problem
area. The lacing again continues in the
conventional way until you approach the
problem area. The lacing continues in the
conventional way until the top of the
shoe.
To prevent heel slippage a conven-
tional pattern of lacing is done until the
last eyelet. By looping the end of each
lace and using the loop as an eyelet, a
more secure fit around the heel can be
obtained.
A square box pattern of lacing is
used for those with high arched rigid feet
or again for those with a boney bump on
the top of their foot. In this method the
lace never crosses over the tongue, but
passes under each eyelet. This method
eases pressure across the top of the foot.
If you are a runner who is prone to black-
ened toe nails or pressure at the front of
the foot, a single lace cross-over may
help. begin with the end of one lace much
shorter than the other. Place it in the
upper most inside eyelet and run it to the
lowest most diagonally opposite eyelet.
Then begin lacing from inside to side
through the remaining eyelets. This pat-
tern pulls the toe box of the show up,
relieving pressure on the toes.
For a custom fit, an independent
method of using two different laces may
be employed. This
may work well for
people with a wider
forefoot, for those
whose foot is two
different widths.
If you have a
question you would
like answered or a
topic you would
like addressed, mail

THE PODIATRIST.
Five Steps To
Health & Weight
Management
1. Foods can provide either a
healing or detrimental out-come;
Therefore, a Food Sensitivity test for a
broad range of foods is the 1st step.
This will expose the individual food
sensitivities so they can be removed
from the diet.
2. A follow-up to the food sensi-
tivity test is a nutrition packed 7-day
food plan that eliminates the food sen-
sitivities of the individual and provides
numerous alternative food choices.
Recipes and food preparation are dis-
cussed as well as nutritional advice.
3. A detoxification and cleansing
program is necessary to re-establish
digestive integrity and metabolic ener-
gy. At this stage the body is prepared
for the detoxification. Weight loss
begins naturally at this stage.
4. A Nutritional Consultation fur-
ther addresses symptoms of the indi-
vidual. Deficiencies and/or toxicities of
the body are revealed and root causes
are targeted to balance the body.
Natural supplements may be needed to
assist the body back to health.
5. A holistic weight loss plan is
implemented to specifically target
weight loss effectively for life. The role
& portions of carbohydrates, proteins
and fats are recommended in a simpli-
fied format (This is done with consider-
ation to the client’s lifestyle).
Don’t take your health for grant-
ed. The body “energetically” operates
daily on millions of complex internal
procedures - it needs ongoing support -
don’t wait until it is in trouble! Karen
Tazar provides food sensitivity testing
and nutritional protocols in Durham.

Ministry of Health Refuses to Back Down on OHIP Cutbacks for Hearing Testing
Oct. 25, 2001 - The
Ontario Association of
Speech-Language
Pathologists and
Audiologists (OSLA)
learned from several high
- ranking Ministry of
health staff that they
remain committed to
their changes that took
effect on August 13th.
These changes dramati-
cally reduced access to
hearing tests covered by
OHIP and eliminated
OHIP coverage of tests
related to the prescription
and selection of hearing
aids.
“We presented data
showing a huge impact,”
said Fiona Ryner,
Executive Director, OSLA
who also presented
detailed fee analysis that
show a hearing test under
OHIP can now cost tax-
payers up to four times as
much as before.
“Neither the impact
nor the wasted costs
caused the ministry staff
to waiver slightly in their
resolve,” said Ryner.
Rob Guadagno, audi-
ologist said, “We showed
data confirming an
immediate 50% drop in
OHIP covered tests by
audiologists, and that’s
just the beginning.”
He added that the
rules set by OHIP and the
College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Ontario can-
not be met in most cases.
“Our data reflects the
impossibility of compli-
ance with OHIP regula-
tions, says Rob. “If OHIP
regulations are enforced,
this will further reduce
access to only 4% of the
pre August 13 levels.
Ministry staff continue to
profess that audiologists
have never been directly
funded, despite the fact
that about 90% of audiol-
ogists provided hearing
tests that were paid for by
OHIP prior to August 13.
Ministry staff also contin-
ue to claim that hearing
tests are still OHIP cov-
ered, which suggests that
they have not accurately
assessed how few audiol-
ogist can enter arrange-
ments that comply with
OHIP regulations.”
A little known fact is
that the Physicians
Services Committee
(PSC) made a companion
recommendation to those
changes implemented in
August. The PSC predict-
ed the changes would
have a significant impact
and suggested they be
done along with compli-
mentary changes for
funding audiologists.
“When I asked why
they did not follow that
parallel recommendation,
the ministry officials
talked about the current
mandate to get health
spending under control,”
said Judy Davidson
Betrand, an audiologist
from Northern Ontario
which is hard hit by the
changes.
Ryner is concerned
that the members of the
public have been putting
their hearing care on hold
when they’ve been
unable to find OHIP cov-
ered hearing testing. She
urges people to seek out
an audiologist:
Consumers deserve the
kind of care audiologists
provide, and it seems the
ministry is prepared for
them to pay out of pock-
et.”

Curves for Women®, 30 Minute Fitness and Weight Loss
Centres, Celebrates its One year Anniversary in Pickering
November 11, 2001 - Curves for
Women®, 30 Minute Fitness and
Weight Loss Centres, celebrated its
one year anniversary in Pickering
with a party. With over 300 members
and more joining daily, Curves
International considers the Pickering
franchise a success in its first year of
operation.
Curves provides a thirty minute
total workout and weight loss coun-
selling in the same place.
“The reason Curves for Women
franchises grow so rapidly is because
Curves is a unique concept in the
exercise industry,” says owner and
manager Joanna Lopez. “The facility
is built around a breakthrough in
exercise with the use of the Quickfit
circuit. It’s a complete workout in just
half an hour”
The Quickfit
circuit is a system
of exercise that
alternates
hydraulic resis-
tance machines
with aerobic recov-
ery stations. As
you move around
the circuit, enjoy-
ing the music, you
perform both a
cardio and
strength training
workout at the
same time.
“The thirty
minute total work-
out burns as much
as 500 calories,”
says Joanna.
“Because you’re
moving fluid
rather than
weights, it’s safe
for any age or con-
dition.”
Weight loss
is the main reason
women join our
facility,” says
Joanna. “But
along with weight
loss are health rea-
sons such as
osteoporosis,
arthritis and dia-
betes; more ener-
gy; decrease stress
and firm up.
members are suc-
cessful in reaching
their fitness goals
for the first time
because the work-
out is quick and
fun, the atmos-
phere is not intim-
idating, and
monthly consulta-
tions monitor and
motivate. We also
run challenges
and exciting pro-
motions that encourage members to
come three times a week, the best fre-
quency for the best results.”
The testimonials given by the
facility’s members are an indication of
the facility’s success:
Member Nancy Raby, “the
Curves for Women program fits my
busy lifestyle. I get a complete work-
out of strength training and cardio,
which has improved my flexibility,
and lowered my blood pressure. My
first goal was to lose 45 pounds,
which I have accomplished by exer-
cising, cutting carbohydrates, sugars
and fats. My next goal is to lose 25
more pounds and
with the combina-
tion of exercise
and continued
food control, I feel
confident that it will happen. One
other reason Curves is so attractive is
the friendly and supportive atmos-
phere. I look forward to my workout
every morning.”
Member Lorna Cotter says “my
New year’s resolution was to do
something for me. This workout can
be done in 30 minutes and I get rid of
my stress in that time. I have lost 11
pounds, but the more incredible thing
is I have shrunk 18 inches! I look for-
ward to coming
to Curves and I
enjoy that it is
only for women.”

DURHAM — Two Dun-
barton High School Spartans
cross-country teams finished
in the top 10 in the province at
last weekend’s high school
championships in the Ottawa
area.
Dunbarton’s senior girls’
cross-country team finished
fifth overall, while the Spar-
tans’s junior boys’ squad
placed ninth at the 2001 On-
tario Federation of School
Athletic Associations
(OFSAA) Cross-Country
Championships at Blackburn
Hamlet, near Ottawa.
The Spartans senior girls’
team was led by long-distance
and triathlon specialist Alicia
Kaye, who finished 12th in the
five-kilometre race in a time of
21 minutes 23.4 seconds. She
was followed by Pam Johnston
in 53rd place, Ashley Colvin
in 89th place, Annie Jamieson
in 128th and Kim Scott in
205th.
Meanwhile, Craig Burrell
led Dunbarton’s junior boys’
contingent with a 45th-place
finish. Burrell was followed
by Ryan Thorpe in 48th place,
Chris Thorpe in 81st place,
Johnathan Kaye in 179th place
and David Reid in 207th.
The best finish, however,
by a local cross-country run-
ner came from Pickering High
School’s Ryan Finn, who
capped a strong cross-country
season with a fourth-place fin-
ish in the midget boys’ five-
kilometre run. He finished the
race in 18 minutes 41.4 sec-
onds. Finn finished second in
the midget boys’ category at
the Lake Ontario Secondary
School Athletics Cross-Coun-
try Championships.
Michael Murray of Ajax
High School finished 141st
overall in the midget boys’
bracket at OFSAA.
Darlene Lower of Pickering
High School finished 102nd in
the senior girls’ division.
In the senior boys’ catego-
ry, Tyler Lahti of Pine Ridge
Secondary School finished
27th. Josh Lumsden of Dun-
barton placed 62nd and Bryan
Mason, also of Dunbarton, fin-
ished in 131st place. Sean
Clayton, Mark Vukasinovic
and Scott Billing, all of Dun-
barton, finished 194th, 198th
and 207th, respectively.
Arianne MacNeill of Dun-
barton placed 84th in the ju-
nior girls’ four-kilometre
event. Teammates Katie
Toomsalu, Courtney Lumsden
and Kristel Jefferies finished
128th, 163rd and 175th, re-
spectively.
In the midget girls’ divi-
sion, the local results were:

the elect and attain life eternal. I promise
thee as my special patron and will do all in
my power to encourage devotion to thee and
have thee known as patron of helpless
cases. Amen M.H.

Tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers and
craftsmen are today’s newspaper carriers.
Learn skills that will last a lifetime, and earning a little
money on the side couldn’t hurt either.
Delivering for the Future
What do you call someone who runs their own
business, braves summer heat and the winter chill, is
on the job in the rain, snow and sleet, is always
cheerful and courteous and who brings the product
right to your door every time without fail while also
trying to conquer the intricacies of math, science
and auditioning for the first-chair
saxophone in the school band?
