remembered
for passion,
professionalism

DURHAM —The environ-
mental community has been left
reeling following the death of “a
terrific leader, an awesome per-
son”.
Irene Kock, a local activist and
Uxbridge resident, died Monday
evening from injuries suffered in a
two-vehicle crash in Whitchurch-
Stouffville. She was 40 years old.
“She’s a very, very important
and committed individual in this
community. She was a very special
person,” said Brian Buckles, of the
Uxbridge Conservation Associa-
tion (UCA) and Green Door Al-
liance.
“Everyone involved with her is
very deeply affected by the news.
There are very few people in the
community who had that kind of
impact. She’ll be missed.”
In addition to her work with the
UCA, Ms. Kock was also an anti-
nuclear activist and worked with a
number of environmental groups.
“She was a great environmen-
talist. It was her passion, totally,”
said Teresa Johnston, also of the
UCA. “Irene was a terrific leader,
an awesome person. She was very
strong and level-headed. She
wouldn’t fly off the handle.”
Elizabeth May, the Sierra Club
of Canada’s executive director,
noted being “tireless and extreme-
ly thorough were the hallmarks of
Irene’s work. If she made a state-
ment, there was no guesswork.
She read voluminously. She was
one of the most knowledgeable
people in the country on nuclear
matters.”
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs also praised her work.
“She’ll be missed. She was a
very strong advocate on behalf of
the environment,” he said. “She
ensured issues stayed in front of
the public.”

AJAX —It’s a girl — and for the McCabe
family of Courtice, it couldn’t be a happier new
year.
Samantha Mary Elizabeth McCabe was born at
12:38 p.m. Tuesday, making her Rouge Valley
Ajax and Pickering hospital’s first baby of 2002.
Proud parents Shawn and Kathleen McCabe,
along with big brother Nicholas, three, report the
newest edition to their family weighed in at nine
pounds, one ounce, but admit she wasn’t expected
to be the new year’s baby.
“Doctors were predicting the 29th or 30th,”
said Mrs. McCabe. “I saw my OB on the 28th and
they saw nothing, no indications that I was going
to give birth. I was scheduled to induce labour
(Jan. 2) and when Nicholas was born we had to in-
duce labour, so we didn’t doubt we would have to
induce again. Things change, obviously.”

The McCabe family welcomed its newest addition, Samantha Mary Elizabeth, on Jan. 1. Saman-
tha was the first baby born at the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System in 2002 and weighed
in at nine pounds, one ounce.
It’s a new year, baby!
See NEW page 2See KOCK page 4
Mr. McCabe said it felt “great” being
parents of the hospital’s first baby of 2002
and noted, in an interesting coincidence,
he and his wife met on New Year’s Eve
four years ago while both were working at
Rouge Valley’s Centenary site in Scarbor-
ough.
Labour began around 3:30 a.m. Jan. 1
and after more than nine hours, Mrs. Mc-
Cabe noted that although she felt pretty
tired, she was glad to be in the “nice and
familiar” surroundings of the Ajax hospital
where Nicholas was also born.
“I’ve been an employee at Centenary
for 14 years and there is a connection,” she
said.
“They really provide excellent care
here.”

DURHAM —
A busy time in
Courtice nine
months ago cul-
minated in three
Durham Region
hospitals New
Year’s Day.
Courtice kids
were the first ba-
bies of 2002 at
hospitals in Bow-
manville, Oshawa
and Ajax.
First, at Lak-
eridge Health Os-
hawa, Isabelle
Nicol Mitchell,
daughter of Tricia
and Scott
Mitchell, made
her debut at 5:43
a.m. She weighed
in at four pounds,
nine ounces.

manville’s New
Year’s baby was
Mickenzi
Emilee-Love
Crowells, daugh-
ter of Stephanie
Fracz and Shane
Crowells, born at
6:58 a.m. She
tipped the scales
at seven pounds,
14 ounces.
Mickenzi’s
mom was expect-
ing a holiday
baby, but with a
Dec. 22 due date,
she thought the
little one would
arrive closer to
Christmas.
Ms. Fracz was
scheduled to be
induced at 7:30
p.m. New Year’s
Eve, but started
having contrac-
tions at about
6:30 p.m.
Even then,
Ms. Fracz didn’t
think the baby,
the couple’s first-
born, would be
the first of the
new year in Bow-
manville.
Finally,
Samantha Mary

PICKERING —Police and fire of-
ficials discovered a large marijuana-
growing operation inside a luxury
home gutted by a New Year’s Day fire.
Durham Regional Police Sergeant
Paul Malik said the electrical fire de-
stroyed the upper levels of the two-
storey home on Laurier Crescent and
officers found more than 400 pot plants
with a street value of $250,000 in the
basement. In addition, they seized
$20,000 in growing equipment, while
another batch of fire-damaged equip-
ment remains at the house.
Pickering Fire Services Chief Bill
Douglas said firefighters were at the
home within six minutes of receiving a
possible fire call at 5:16 p.m. Jan. 1. He
said they found two “electrical fires”,
which were put out within five min-
utes.
Once the fire was under control, po-
lice and firefighters checked the resi-
dence for victims and found the so-
phisticated indoor hydroponics lab,
Sgt. Malik said. No one was home at
the time.
Based on an investigation by police,
Pickering Fire and the Ontario Fire
Marshal’s Office it appears the fire
“was a direct result of the marijuana-
growing operation”, said Sgt. Malik.
The home, which fire officials said
sustained an estimated $125,000 in
damage, had an illegal hydro bypass to
conceal increased power usage. Police
say the fire started on the second floor,
and blew out main- and upper-floor
windows.
“The whole house was used as a
marijuana factory,” Sgt. Malik said.
“There is an indication people were
living there but we don’t know where
they are.”
Anyone with information is asked
to call police at 905-683-9100 or
Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477.

AJAX —An Ajax mother
of two is dead following an
accident near Peterborough
on New Year’s Eve.
Anna Albert, 40, suc-
cumbed to her injuries at the
scene, on County Road 10 in
Cavan-Millbrook-North
Monaghan Township, just
south of Peterborough.
Mrs. Albert was in a 1992
Ford Aerostar van, being dri-
ven by her husband Frank.
Also in the van were their
children, Jacqueline and Na-
talie.
OPP Senior Constable
James Searle said the Alberts
were northbound on the road
Monday, Dec. 31 at about
2:30 p.m. when the vehicle
went out of control, crossed
into the southbound lanes and
was struck by a van operated
by a Fraserville man.
“The roads were slippery
and it was snowing quite
heavily at the time,” Const.
Searle added. Const. Seale
said alcohol was not a factor
in the accident.
Jacqueline, 11, was airlift-
ed to the Hospital for Sick
Children where she remains.
Her condition was not known
at the News Advertiser’s
press deadline. Natalie, four,
was taken to the Peterbor-
ough Regional Health Cen-
tre. Mr. Albert was also taken
to hospital, treated and re-
leased with minor injuries.
The 53-year-old driver of
the other van and a 57-year-
old female passenger were
taken to the Peterborough
hospital with non-life-threat-
ening injuries.
A funeral was to be held
today (Friday), at 1 p.m. at
Westminster Presbyterian
Church in Scarborough.
David Martin set up
Durham Nuclear Aware-
ness (DNA) shortly after
the Chernobyl nuclear ac-
cident in the mid-1980s.
Last year, the couple
moved under the umbrella
of the Sierra Club.
They battled with the
then Ontario Hydro, seek-
ing information on the op-
eration of nuclear stations
in the province, especially
the Pickering site.
Their efforts with the
Community Working
Group helped raise more
than 160 issues affecting
the plant.
Pat O’Brien, a
spokesman for Ontario
Power Generation, the suc-
cessor to Ontario Hydro,
praised her work.
“Dealing with Irene, she
was always extremely com-
mitted, very professional
and she had high ethics for
what she did,” Mr. O’Brien
said.
“We disagreed on phi-
losophy, but I respected her
for her commitment and
the professional manner in
which she put forward her
argument.”
He added, “Her asking
the question and us provid-
ing the answer provided a
service to the broader com-
munity.
“In one of the conversa-
tions we had, she went into
detail about her whole phi-
losophy. She was a critic
and she saw herself as a
critic of the nuclear indus-
try.
“That’s what she cham-
pioned. It’s what she was,
she was very proud of it
and she did it in a very pro-
fessional manner.”
David Steele of the
Pickering-Ajax Citizens
Together (PACT) for the
Environment, worked with
Ms. Kock on the 160-plus
issues.
“I’ll personally miss her.
She was a wonderful girl.
It’s a tragedy. I don’t know
who will take her place,”
he added. “You don’t re-
place people like that.”
The accident occurred
around 6:35 p.m. on Dec.
31.
York Regional Police re-
port Mr. Martin and Ms.
Kock were travelling west-
bound on Bloomington
Road near William Avenue
when their Volkswagen
Golf entered the eastbound
lanes into the path of a
1998 Toyota Four-Runner,
driven by a 59-year-old
Markham man.
Ms. Kock was taken to
the South Lake Regional
Health Centre, where she
succumbed to her injuries.
Mr. Martin and the other
driver were treated for non-
life-threatening injuries.
Funeral services are
being held Saturday, Jan. 5
at 2 p.m. at Low and Low
Funeral Home, 23 Main St.
S., Uxbridge.
There’s visitation prior
to the funeral from noon to
2 p.m.
In addition to Mr. Mar-
tin, Ms. Kock is survived
by her parents Dick and
Mary Kock, and siblings
John, Henry and Helen and
their partners.
In lieu of flowers, dona-
tions to the Sierra Club of
Canada Foundation (613-
241-4611) or the Uxbridge
Conservation Association
(905-852-6803) would be
appreciated by the family.

PICKERING —A
Pickering man accused of
fatally poisoning his preg-
nant wife on Mother’s
Day 2000 has been or-
dered to stand trial for
first-degree murder.
After a preliminary
hearing in Ontario Court
of Justice, Oshawa Judge
Paul Bellefontaine ruled
there is enough evidence
to commit Ganeshram
Raghunauth to trial.
No trial date has been
scheduled and he will ap-
pear in Superior Court in
Whitby later this month
for a pretrial conference.
Mr. Raghunauth called
911 on May 14, 2000 and
reported he had found his
wife, Hemoutie, lying un-
conscious on the bath-
room floor in the couple’s
Beaton Way residence in
the Brock Road and Finch
Avenue area, police said.
Mrs. Raghunauth, a 28-
year-old employee of a
Markham financial insti-
tution, was rushed by am-
bulance to Rouge Valley
Ajax and Pickering hospi-
tal, where she was pro-
nounced dead.
An autopsy was unable
to determine any anatomi-
cal cause of death and re-
vealed Mrs. Raghunauth
was pregnant, police said.
Several weeks later,
after toxicology tests,
Durham Region homicide
detectives charged Mr.
Raghunauth, 30, alleging
he poisoned his wife.
The couple’s one-year-
old son was placed in the
care of family members.

RIDE charges rise
despite fewer cars
being stopped
BY NATALIE MILLER
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Beware.
The latest Durham Regional
Police Reduce Impaired Driving
Everywhere (RIDE) numbers
show a disturbing trend toward
more drunk drivers on our roads.
Police have charged 62 people
with drinking and driving through
the first four weeks of this season’s
RIDE check, which runs until the
second week of January, compared
to 40 at the same point last year.
And it could be even worse, con-
sidering officers have stopped
24,000 vehicles, 3,235 fewer than
last year.
“It’s hard to say why,” said
Sergeant Paul Malik of the dramat-
ic increase.
“Why are people drinking and
driving? The message is out there
loud and clear — if you’re caught
drinking and driving you’re going
to get in trouble. If there’s any rea-
son why people are being stupid,
let us know.”
Many Canadian municipalities
are experiencing increases in
drunk-driving incidents, according
to national news reports.
Locally, new drivers don’t seem
to be getting the don’t-drink-and-
drive message.
Police have charged 31 ‘gradu-
ated-licensed’ motorists with
breaking their driving conditions
by consuming alcohol before get-
ting behind the wheel.
According to Mothers Against
Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada,
impaired driving is the No. 1 crim-
inal cause of death on Canadian
roads.
In a recent poll, four out of 10
Canadians acknowledged they
have driven a vehicle when they
believed they were legally im-
paired.
The president of the local
MADD chapter knows the deadly
consequences first-hand. Nancy
Codlin’s 18-year-old niece was
killed three years ago in an alco-
hol-related crash.
“I do think the general percep-
tion is ‘It can’t happen to me,’”
said Ms. Codlin.
“I’m very disappointed. There
certainly has been a lot of public
awareness.”
Ms. Codlin said the numbers
clearly show some residents aren’t
making responsible decisions. She
noted the government has to step
in with tougher laws.
The federal government in-
creased the maximum penalty for
drunk drivers who kill to a life sen-
tence. Previously it was 14 years.
Also, decision-makers bumped the
fine for first-time offenders to a
minimum of $600 instead of the
previous $300.
Under recent changes to the
Highway Traffic Act, people found
guilty of drinking and driving after
Dec. 23, 2001 will be forced to in-
stall an ignition interlock device in
their vehicle if they hope to get
back behind the wheel.
The device works like a
breathalyser test, requiring a driver
to blow into the machine, which is
connected to the vehicle’s ignition
system. The vehicle won’t start if
the driver’s blood-alcohol concen-
tration is above a preset limit.
MADD is currently lobbying
federally to lower the blood alco-
hol legal limit to 50 milligrams of
alcohol in 1,000 millilitres of
blood. Currently the limit is 80
milligrams.

Recycle!PICKERING —A local church
is offering a six-session program for
couples not planning to marry.
Traditional courses for couples
are usually of the premarital variety,
but many Canadian twosomes have
no plans to seal their union with a
wedding. Married or not, most of
the normal problems that arise in a
relationship are the same.
Beginning Jan. 22 and on the
fourth Tuesday of each month, Rev.
Glenn Brown will lead a program at
Dunbarton-Fairport United Church
that teaches participants how to be a
successful couple.
The cost is $100 for the program,
including a book. Call the church at

Tory education
changes outrageous
To the editor:
Since 1995, Ontario Premier Mike Har-
ris, Education Minister Janet Ecker and
their government have focused an inordi-
nate amount of time, energy and money on
the education system.
There has been the development and in-
troduction of a sweeping and rigorous new
provincial curriculum, and the costly, time-
consuming and contentious Education
Quality and Accountability Office assess-
ments of students.
Recently, standards for initial teacher
qualification were introduced along with a
three-year program for recertification.
Through all of this there has been
teacher, parent and student unrest, and in
some cases strikes, school closings and an
ongoing call for more money for our pub-
licly funded schools — in particular, spe-
cial-education funding.
The government has never wavered and
insisted this multitude of changes was nec-
essary along the road to improved educa-
tion. If Ontario students are to be competi-
tive in the global economy, these changes
have to be made, said Mr. Harris and Ms.
Ecker.
And now, for some inexplicable reason,
the rules have changed. Some schools, the
private ones supported by public money,can
hire unqualified teachers, who need not be
recertified. To teach what? To teach what
they want, perhaps intolerance, perhaps not.
To teach bias based on race, gender, religion
or culture, or perhaps not.
The money to support these schools will
be taken from an already cash-poor public
system that only last year Ms. Ecker said
would be negatively impacted by tax incen-
tives for private schools.
All citizens who realize the public school
system is the greatest harmonizer in one of
the world’s most multicultural areas should
be outraged at the far-reaching potential for
civil disharmony this short-sighted and
money-driven policy will create.
G.W. Brown,
Pickering

How is it possible the country that
produced the likes of Terry Fox or
the soldiers who fought and died for
us on distant shores could also give
birth to a generation of ‘Chicken Lit-
tles’?
Just over two years ago, the
phrase Y2K was enough to send peo-
ple out in search of survival gear,
cases of bottled water, enough
canned food to last the next 100
years, and if they could find one, a
generator powerful enough to supply
half of Durham.
Within days of the terrorist attacks
in the United States last Sept. 11, gas
masks and chemical suits were flying
off the shelves of every Army Sur-
plus store around. Baby powder
found in a department store ‘diaper-
ing area’ or a bit of dust found on a
case of pop was enough to trigger a
panic attack, a terrified phone call to
the local fire department and a mass
evacuation and decontamination.
I listened to a caller on a radio talk
show describe how he had just pur-
chased four gas masks and was going
to show his wife and two young chil-
dren how to use them after dinner
that evening. He couldn’t see the fact
that, unless they planned to wear
them 24 hours a day for the rest of
their lives, he was going to scare the
daylights out of his family for no rea-
son at all.
When did the words, “the sky is
falling,” get added to our national an-
them? Have we become so afraid of
all the bad things that can happen to
us we have forgotten not only how to
live but how to have some fun along
the way?
Here are some things to think
about for a new year; some resolu-
tions delivered a few days late, but
useful nonetheless. Try acting in a
way that would make your kids
proud of you, not ashamed. Try hav-
ing some fun every day; it causes
fewer wrinkles and makes your face
easier to look at. And finally, not one
of us will get out of this life alive so
why not spend what time we have
making things a little better. Hold a
hand, kiss away a tear or just spend a
little bit of your time trying to make
someone else’s day special. That way
everyone wins.
Oh yeah, the white powder on the
floor next to you may just be from a
jelly doughnut. Keep smiling. You
might not live longer but you will
have a lot more fun getting there.

Try pride, fun and healing it with a kiss
With terror of 2001 behind us, time to re-examine how we approach and live our lives
Despite the best efforts of numerous police officers in the
Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) program, clue-
less, dangerous, drinking drivers continue to plague our road-
ways.
The latest numbers from the Durham RIDE campaign are
truly discouraging.
Over the four weeks ending Dec. 30, Durham Regional Po-
lice had stopped 24,000 drivers and charged 62 with being over
the legal alcohol limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 1,000
millilitres of blood (commonly referred to as .08). That’s 22
more drivers than were charged in 2000 over the same time
frame when 3,000 fewer motorists were stopped.
In addition, the prime target group, young drivers, fared
poorly over the holidays. In four weeks, 31 graduated licence
drivers, who are not allowed to consume any alcohol at all be-
fore driving, were charged for contraventions of their driving
conditions.
Why are the numbers up? Nobody seems to know, especial-
ly since Mothers Against Drunk Driving has worked tirelessly
to publicize the perils of drunk driving, to push for harsher
penalties for those caught and to have the maximum alcohol in-
take slashed to .05 from .08.
Tougher penalties brought in by the Province, including au-
tomatic one-year, three-year and lifetime driving suspensions
for first, second and third drunk-driving convictions would
seem a deterrent, but the latest RIDE numbers don’t lie. The
message isn’t getting through.
That doesn’t mean, of course, groups like MADD shouldn’t
press forward. In fact, the latest RIDE stats are likely to push
MADD to lobby even harder for stiffer fines and lower drink-
ing limits.
It’s clear there should be absolutely no tolerance at all for re-
peat offenders. The law must punish those who, once caught
driving drunk, choose to once again drink and drive. Jail terms
and lifetime suspensions should be a consideration. Too strict
you say? Talk to the families who have lost loved ones to drunk
drivers.
Federal Justice Minister Anne McLellan is considering leg-
islation that would lower the limit to .05, surely a measure that
would have some impact on those who choose to drink and
drive. MADD estimates there are as many as 12.5 million im-
paired driving trips made in Canada annually and the chances
of being caught driving drunk are as low as 1 in 445.
With alcohol playing a role in 42 per cent of automobile fa-
talities a year, with more than 1,600 people dying from drink-
ing and driving in Canada each year, we have to do something.
We have to stop the insanity.

DURHAM –– ‘There has
got to be a better way.’
This mantra is fervently
invoked at rush hours as
commuters fight their way to
work in Toronto from their
homes in Pickering, Ajax,
Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington,
Port Perry and Uxbridge and
back again on some of the
most congested roadways -
Hwy. 401 - in North Ameri-
ca.
Huge tractor-trailers vie
for laneways to get the goods
our economy depends on to
market as efficiently as pos-
sible. They struggle for room
at the on-and-off ramps with
motorists desperate to bal-
ance time with family while
working at a job that sup-
ports their suburban lifestyle.
Add in some bad weather,
the odd flying tire and
human error and you have a
dilemma that is sucking the
quality of life out of the exis-
tence of thousands of
Durham Region residents, as
well as the air they breathe.
Enter Pickering-Ajax-
Uxbridge MP Dan
McTeague, who just might
have an idea to help ease the
gridlock that is making so
many lives miserable: a fast
ferry service to transport
goods across Lake Ontario.
“After the events of Sept.
11, more pressure than ever
has been put on the flow of
goods over the border,” says
the Liberal backbencher.
“Generally, the lake is under-
utilized ... Oshawa in partic-
ular could serve as a deep
port to allow the kind of uti-
lization, as they did in Eng-
land (to transport goods
across the English Channel)
prior to the building of the
Chunnel.”
Port master and chief ex-
ecutive officer of the Oshawa
Harbour Commission,
Donna Taylor, agrees Os-
hawa is not only a strong
contender, but has actually
been approached about the
type of service Mr.
McTeague envisions.
“The Port of Oshawa is
currently entertaining two
expressions of interest in this
type of service and has been
contacted in a preliminary
way by a company interested
in a passenger service only,”
confirms Ms. Taylor.
“The Port of Oshawa is
well positioned for a future
ferry service either for pas-
sengers or for trucks and
cargo,” she adds.
As a matter of fact, Ms.
Taylor points out a truck
ferry service did operate
briefly in the early 1980s
from the Port of Oshawa to
Oswego, N.Y.
“It was a good test,” she
says. The port developed fa-
cilities that still exist to ac-
commodate the service. Due
to a less than satisfactory
vessel and a downturn in the
economy, the ferry service
was short-lived.
“During the Ontario Mu-
nicipal Board hearing when
we were discussing the zon-
ing of the east port lands, our
port engineer gave consider-
able consideration to the fu-
ture requirements of a ferry
service in anticipation this
would be a future prospect
for the Port of Oshawa,” con-
tinues Ms. Taylor. “So we
are well-prepared to enter-
tain proposals.”
The way truck and pas-
senger ferry services from
Oshawa are envisioned by
the harbour commission
would be to have a passenger
ferry service positioned on
the west side of the harbour
in keeping with the more
public use of that area.
“A truck ferry service
would be located on the east
side of the harbour,” explains
Ms. Taylor. “This area is cur-
rently undeveloped, but has
sufficient acreage to accom-
modate the necessary park-
ing, a customs building and
specially designed ramps
which will depend on the
vessel type selected.”
Mr. McTeague doesn’t
see a hovercraft type of oper-
ation but does think once the
correct type of ship is identi-
fied, a spin-off to the Canadi-
an economy could be resur-
gence in the country’s ship-
building industry.
He says he’s spoken with
Transport Minister David
Collenette about the idea and
hopes talks can begin among
such players as the Governor
of New York, local mayors
and representatives of
Durham Region.
The stakes are not small.
When Ontario Premier Mike
Harris met with New York
Governor George Pataki in
October, they agreed trade
between their jurisdictions
must continue to thrive de-
spite heightened border se-
curity in the wake of Sept.
11. The two-way daily trade
between Ontario and New
York State, at the time of the
fall meeting, exceeded $84.4
million Cdn.
“To cross the lake it
would only take two to three
hours, depending on the
weather,” says Mr.
McTeague, “rather than
trucks spending several
hours if the destination is,
say, Buffalo. Time is money,
especially for companies like
General Motors.”
He says he believes the
best way to get more trucks
off the highways of Durham
Region is to interest the pri-
vate sector. “Of course there
would have to be substantial
commitment on the part of
governments,” he is quick to
add. “Before we talk about
fast ferries, we have to look
at bureaucratic responsibili-
ty.”
As for the authority oper-
ating the innovative trans-
portation service, he explains
although it would be the fed-
eral government that would
have to be in charge of “any
opening of the harbour,” the
“authority depends on who’s
putting up the money.”
“We would act as a land-
lord in this venture,” says
Ms. Taylor.
Mr. McTeague adds that
from Oshawa to Pickering
there are potential sites to
build terminals and depots,
complete with towing facili-
ties.
“We still have land that
could be made available for
depots,” he says.
“We could serve as a
bleeder line for (transport)
traffic but let’s do something
with our harbours ... There
are only several points of
entry into the U.S. from
Windsor to Quebec and
we’re right smack in the
middle of it. Time is money
and a ferry system could be
more efficient and we could
use rail at either end. It’s one
of the more intelligent ways
to transport goods. There is
no more public money to re-
build roads ... If we don’t do
these things in five years
then there will be an enor-
mous price to pay like toll
roads.
And I hate to think a com-
pany or business will not be
interested in locating in
Durham Region because
they can’t get their goods to
market ... This is an idea
whose time has definitely
come ... Let’s look at the
feasibility.”
On a more personal note,
Mr. McTeague knows first-
hand all about the anxiety
drivers experience as they
drive to and from the work-
place each day.
After his wife and young
children were in three car ac-
cidents, he moved his family
from Pickering to be closer
to the children’s caregiver
and his doctor wife’s practice
in Brampton.
“Of concern to us was the
amount of travel she and our
children had each day on
highways,” he wrote to his
constituents in his autumn
newsletter.
“After the third car acci-
dent involving my family it
simply would be irresponsi-
ble to further ignore the
threat to their safety.”
LLLL aaaa kkkk eeee
eeee ffff ffff eeee cccc tttt
Fast ferries might be
answer to gridlock: MP
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague believes a Lake Ontario ferry service
would help alleviate gridlock on Hwy. 401 and make the roads safer to travel.
Donna Taylor, port master and chief executive offi-
cer of the Oshawa Harbour Commission, says the
port is well positioned for a future ferry service.

DURHAM - Life in Durham Region
never looked so good. Snowmobiles ply
snow-covered, evergreen-lined trails in
one photograph while another features
sailboats skimming sparkling summer wa-
ters. These recreational delights are sur-
passed only by bucolic scenes of nature,
complete with bushels of ruby red apples,
blue skies and glorious autumnal splen-
dour. But the rubber really hits the road at
this well-designed and illustrated Web
site: clarington.PairoRegistry.com when
‘compensation and incentives’ are men-
tioned.
“Reimbursement of moving expenses
up to $4,000,” ... “$20,000 payable on
start-up” ... “three months’ free rent to
new tenants ... “
No, this is not a ploy by local realtors
to lure would-be homebuyers to the Re-
gion. It’s all about the battle to lure doc-
tors to an area starved for them. Thou-
sands of Durham citizens are currently
without a family physician and thousands
more will soon join them in one of the
fastest growing regions in Canada.
“The number of family physicians is
no longer adequate to meet the needs of
Canadians, and this serious and growing
deficiency threatens the future viability of
the health-care system,” concluded the re-
cent and most comprehensive survey of
family doctors ever undertaken in Canada.
According to the College of Family
Physicians of Canada’s 2001 National
Family Physician survey, which was sent
to all family physicians and general prac-
titioners in Canada with a response rate of
51 per cent (14,319), as much as 30 per
cent of the population is currently having
difficulty accessing a family doctor.
No one has to tell the residents of Clar-
ington and Scugog how difficult it is to
find a family doctor.
The scarcity of family physicians is so
dire in Scugog the Township has agreed to
give Lakeridge Health Port Perry
$25,000. The one-time funding is to be
used for bonuses - for things like interest
on student loans or the use of a car - in an
effort to assist negotiations with two doc-
tors interested in joining the 108-member
staff at the local 42-bed hospital.
Yvonne de Wit, Scugog’s chief ad-
ministration officer, told a December
economic development committee
meeting how not having enough family
doctors practising in the community is
costly in fiscal terms as well as human.
“It’s a community problem,” she
said. “It ties into economic develop-
ment in the fact if you don’t have ade-
quate health care, people won’t want to
locate here.”
But the Region’s six hospitals -
Ajax-Pickering, run by the Rouge Val-
ley Health System, along with Lak-
eridge Health’s Whitby, Oshawa, Bow-
manville, Port Perry and Uxbridge
sites - were built to handle a population
of about 200,000. Today, they are cop-
ing with a population base of almost
half a million. This same population is
expected to double to 1 million over
the next decade.
Not only is it a frustrating exercise
for patients to try to find a general practi-
tioner to call his or her own, shortages can
cause doctors to work an average of 73
hours a week.
“Our workforce is exhausted,” says Dr.
Don Gelhorn, president of the College of
Family Physicians of Canada.
Yet medical schools are producing
fewer graduates than a decade ago and it
is feared that by 2011, the shortfall will
double to at least 6,000. Right now, places
like Port Perry need four new family
physicians.
A mere 60 family doctors will graduate
from the University of Toronto this year
but only two to three per cent from all five
of Ontario medical schools will choose to
practice in a rural setting like Port Perry.
In Canada, towns under 10,000 account
for 31 per cent of the population (about
nine million people) yet they are served
by only 14 per cent of generalist physi-
cians. In Clarington alone, it is estimated
15,000 patients don’t have a family doc-
tor.
Kim Ferguson, M.D., is a rarity. Origi-
nally from Blackstock, when she com-
pletes her U of T studies, she’s heading
home to practice. It’s been a long haul for
the 36-year-old wife and mother of two:
three years in university, four years of
medical school and two years as a resi-
dent. She returns home to her family each
weekend and will be home for good once
her two-year residency program is com-
pleted July 2003.
“The plan is to practice in Port Perry,”
she says. “My residency is in rural Fami-
ly Medicine and I will be spending the
second year of my training on site in Port.
It makes sense to continue on there.”
Looking forward to experiencing “all
the best parts of medicine” she says a
family practice can provide - emergency
shifts, obstetrics and psychotherapy - it is
the diversity that challenges her.
“It also gives me the opportunity to
have a long-term relationship with my pa-
tients, their families, their children,” she
says.
“Having a long history to work with is
valuable as a clinician ... “ Unfortunately,
fewer and fewer medical students want
family medicine as their career. Another
downside is not only the scarcity of fami-
ly doctors but because specialties only
offer so many positions, some doctors
train in family medicine to fall back on
but don’t really want to practice it.
“Then there is the group that goes into
family medicine but doesn’t want to set
up a family practice,” she says. “These
people prefer to do emerg shifts, walk-in
clinics and surgical assists. This is attrac-
tive because they do not have to cover
overhead expenses. This is just a hint of
what is happening....”
Asked if she worries about the pressure
of likely having to work inordinate num-
bers of hours, Ms. Ferguson admits she’s
concerned.
“Unfortunately the shortage of doctors
is quite widespread so it is no longer just
the rural communities that are experienc-
ing this,” she explains.
“And it is getting worse. I realize my
practice will be quite busy and initially
there will be a learning curve, both in
terms of practice management and clini-
cal knowledge. I also realize, though, that
one person can only do so much and that
in these environments the key is to
know what your limits are and stay
well within those boundaries.
“In the long run, overworking your-
self and burning out is of no value to
your patients or the community ... It
does bring up the additional deterrent
for family medicine, though,” she ac-
knowledges. “Residents today put
lifestyle in a very high standing. Think-
ing that they are going to have to con-
tinue to work long hours every day is
not very appealing.”
Meanwhile, the College of Family
Physicians is urging Roy Romanow’s
Commission on the Future of Health
Care in Canada, due out in November
2002, to recommend ways to augment
and strengthen the country’s commit-
ment to medicare. One way has got to
be the ability to interest, educate, pro-
duce and support more dedicated pro-
fessionals like Kim Ferguson.
Prognosis negative
Medical Crisis:Doctor shortage felt throughout the region
According to the College of Family Physicians of Canada’s 2001 National Family
Physician survey, as much as 30 per cent of the population is currently having dif-
ficulty accessing a family doctor.

PICKERING —In a
move to get tow trucks out
of residential neighbour-
hoods, City council has di-
rected staff to come up with
changes to zoning bylaws
regarding the parking of
commercial vehicles.
Resident complaints
spurred council’s decision
late last month, which will
have to go through the nor-
mal course of action, in-
cluding public meetings,
before being debated and
voted on by Pickering
councillors early this year.
Two years ago, Picker-
ing council passed zoning
bylaw amendments allow-
ing residents to park com-
mercial vehicles under a
certain size on their resi-
dential properties.
The move, Pickering
resident John Jensen told
councillors at its last meet-
ing, “spoils the integrity of
the residential neighbour-
hood.
“It blurs the distinction
between residential and in-
dustrial areas.”
Mr. Jensen showed
councillors pictures of a
tow truck and other vehi-
cles parked on a neigh-
bour’s driveway.
“It creates an unsafe en-
vironment for children in
the neighbourhood,” he
said.
The zoning changes
were made to fit in with the
City’s home-based business
bylaw allowing residents to
use their homes for subor-
dinate business purposes.
But Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner said he
never intended to allow tow
trucks to park in residential
areas.
Regional Councillor
Mark Holland added the in-
tentions of the 1999
amendments aren’t being
met.
Commercial vehicles
parked in residential neigh-
bourhoods “is probably the
number two call we get
from residents.
“It’s an area of concern,”
he said. “This goes beyond
what any of us contemplat-
ed.”
Ward 1 City Councillor
Dave Ryan expressed some
concern councillors may be
opening themselves up to
the same lengthy process
they went through in pass-
ing the 1999 amendments.
However, City planner
Neil Carroll assured him
staff would only be looking
at excluding tow trucks
from the bylaw and not be-
ginning a process of look-
ing at all commercial vehi-
cles as they did two years
ago.

The following are the new
movies being screened at cinemas
in Ajax and Pickering this week-
end:
A BEAUTIFUL MIND
Starring Russell Crowe, Ed
Harris, Jennifer Connelly.
Directed by Ron Howard.
It’s 1947 and John Forbes Nash
Jr. (Crowe) has arrived at Prince-
ton for graduate studies in mathe-
matics. The mysterious West Vir-
ginia genius has no prep school
legacy or old money ties to cush-
ion his entry into the Ivy League
— just Princeton’s most presti-
gious fellowship to signify he does
indeed belong.
It’s not an easy fit for Nash, or
for Princeton. Social niceties mean
nothing to him; neither does at-
tending class. He is obsessed with
just one thing: finding a truly orig-
inal idea. That, he’s convinced, is
the only way he will ever matter.
Princeton’s math department is
brutally competitive and some of
Nash’s classmates would love to
see him fail. Still, they tolerate
him, and inadvertently incite him
to greatness. He’s with them one
night in a local bar when their re-
action to a hot blonde grabs his at-
tention.
As Nash observes their rivalry,
the idea that has been haunting
him bursts into focus. His resulting
paper on game theory — the math-
ematics of competition — boldly
contradicts the doctrines of Adam
Smith, the father of modern eco-
nomics.
One hundred and fifty years of
accepted thought is abruptly out-
dated, and Nash’s life is changed
forever.
Nash subsequently wins a cov-
eted research and teaching post at
MIT, but is not satisfied. Science
had played a huge role in bringing
about America’s triumph in the
Second World War, and now, as
the Cold War rages, Nash yearns
to play a role in this new conflict.
His wish is granted when the
shadowy William Parcher (Harris)
recruits him for a top-secret as-
signment as an enemy code-break-
er. Nash throws himself into this
consuming effort while continuing
his work at MIT. It is there he is
challenged in an altogether new
way by the beautiful and brilliant
Alicia Larde (Connelly), a physics
student who introduces Nash to a
concept he’d never seriously con-
sidered — love.
Nash and Alicia marry, but he
cannot confide the dangerous pro-
ject he has undertaken for Parcher.
The work, the secrecy and the dan-
ger take their toll. Nash is furtive,
obsessed and finally lost in a
world of overpowering delusions.
The diagnosis is paranoid schizo-
phrenia.
Devastated by the implications
of her husband’s condition, Alicia
struggles under the strain of loving
a broken genius. But Alicia can
still glimpse the charismatic man
she fell in love with, and that fuels
her commitment to him. Inspired
by her unwavering love and faith,
Nash finally decides to fight a dis-
ease thought to be not only incur-
able, but degenerative.
This humbled Nash has simpler
goals, but they are even harder to
achieve.
Still burdened by demons, still
driven by the intoxicating de-
mands of mathematical theory, he
is determined to find his own kind
of normalcy. Through sheer force
of will, he continues his work and
in 1994, receives the Nobel Prize.
By then, his insightful work in
game theory has become one of
the most influential ideas of the
20th century, while Nash has be-
come a man with a beautiful heart,
as well as a beautiful mind.
(Famous Players Pickering 8
Cinemas - Pickering Town Cen-
tre).
IMPOSTER
Starring Gary Sinise, Madeleine
Stowe, Vincent D’Onofrio, Tony
Shalhoub.
Directed by Gary Fleder.
The year is 2079. The Earth has
been at war with an alien force for
over a decade. Spencer Olham
(Sinise) is a lauded governmental
scientist whose latest work
promises to save the planet.
But, suddenly, he is accused
of being an alien spy and be-
comes the subject of a na-
tionwide manhunt. Olham is
faced with a two-tiered
dilemma — can he prove his
identity to the secret police
in time to help mankind?
Can he ultimately prove his
identity to himself?
Olham faces a disorient-
ing nightmare as he becomes a
fugitive from the law, as well as
friends and family, all of whom
become convinced he is a danger
to humanity.

This year we decided to do
something different for our staff party
at the hall at our church. We hired a
company called Kloda Productions to
transform our banquet hall so that we
could have an authentic Hawaiian Beach
Party. The truck from Kloda pulled up to
the hall, a ramp was rolled out and they
began unloading enough equipment for
a rock concert.
The first step was erecting a 20 by 30
foot high mural depicting a beach
which would also be the backdrop for
the elevated stage. Next lighted palm
trees bordered the stage and three
banks of moving lights were put up.
Then a digital sound system was set up
to make sure the music sounded
perfect for 70 partying teenagers.
Around the room, tropical lighting was
placed and special machines pumped
out smoke to heighten the atmosphere
and give the room a tropical smell.
The main contest was the best male
and female Hawaiian outfit and this year
Crystal won for the best female outfit
and Mike won it for the guys. Each won
a $50.00 bonus for the effort. The grass
skirt and the designer sunglasses
Crystal wore were particularly
charming.
However, the highlight for everyone
was the Sumo wrestling. If ever there
was a great equalizer, this was it. Once
our staff were dressed up in the Sumo
wrestling outfit, they were a sight for
sore eyes even before they wrestled.
Tears of laughter were rolling down my
cheeks even before they started. As they
ran at each other, fell down, rolled over,
jumped on top of each other and
generally wore themselves out, the
laughter from everyone continued
unabated. I videotaped every thing and
this will be the main highlight of our big
staff meeting in January.
One other hilarious highlight was the
two very talented interactive disc
jockeys who dressed our staff up in
everything from the Jackson Five with
those big afro wigs to the Village People
for an unforgettable rendition of
“YMCA”.
This was one of the most enjoyable
times we have ever had with our staff
and it was a chance for Sherry and I to
say thank you to them for the job they
do. As well it was a chance for everyone
to get know each other away from work.
Can we top this party for next year? I
already have an idea!

Full Disclosure Report to the
Residents of Ajax and Area
On Saturday, June 9th, 2001, we lost a beautiful young lady, Melody
Crawford in a tragic accident. She was the daughter of Scott
Crawford and Sandy Crawford and sister to Ashley and Christopher.
Several of us proceeded to commence a Memorial Fund in Melody’s
name to assist the family with their funeral and memorial expenses
and to establish an annual bursary for one or more high school
students in Ajax.
So that a full disclosure may be made to the public, accountant
Warren Hurren of the accounting firm Hurren, Flett, Sinclair, in addition to lawyer Murray Stroud of the
firm of Stroud & Kaufman generously volunteered to oversee and review the accounting & legal
procedures. The community responded generously and Mr. Stroud’s and Mr. Hurren’s reports follow:
I know the family has been acknowledging those who shared their grief in June. I would like to acknowledge some of
the people who assisted us in generating and collecting contributions. They include Cherry and Sarah and all town of
Ajax Council & staff as well as the councillors & staff at Durham Region. We also appreciated the work of Witty
Insurance, News Advertiser, Dickson Printing, Durham Police and their associated agencies, McEachnie Funeral
Home, Royal Bank, Hwy. #2 and Harwood, Chats Restaurant and Spectrum Productions.
Donations towards the Melody Crawford Bursary may still be made at the Royal Bank at Harwood & Hwy. #2, Account
#1009380 Transit 00042.
Thanks to your generosity, the name of Melody Crawford will live on in Ajax.
Respectfully submitted by Rob and Lorraine McArthur, and Donna and Joe Dickson, co-chairs.

Drive is
on for safe
motoring
Province urges caution,
using common sense
DURHAM —The Ministry of
Transportation is reminding drivers
Ontario winters place higher de-
mands on vehicles and driving skills.
Transportation Minister Brad
Clark is urging motorists to use cau-
tion and adjust their driving accord-
ing to changing weather and road
conditions.
“Ontario has the safest roads in
Canada and maintaining our excel-
lent road safety continues to be a top
priority for our government,” said
Mr. Clark.
“Motorists should do their part
and adhere to the three basics of safe
winter driving — stay alert, slow
down and stay in control.”
Winter-proofing your vehicle is
suggested — always check your
tires, brakes, battery, belts, hoses, ig-
nition system, wipers, windshield
washer and antifreeze.
In addition, be well rested before
driving and allow more time to reach
a destination, leaving plenty of space
between you and the vehicle ahead.
Use extra caution on shaded
roads, bridges and overpasses. Stay
well back from snowplows, buckle
up, secure child safety seats and
don’t drink and drive.
Motorists should plan ahead and
check road conditions before heading
out on a long journey.
Road conditions are posted on the
Internet at www.mto.gov.on.ca or
phone 1-800-268-4686 for the Min-
istry’s central region.

Panthers’ snipers fire blanks
Despite 94 shots, Pickering
musters three goals, two ties
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —The Pickering Boyer
Pontiac Panthers tied up a pair of home-
ice draws to start 2002.
On Wednesday, the Panthers fired 50
shots at the Vaughan Vipers’net, but could
muster only a 2-2 overtime draw in OHA
Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League action at the Pickering Recreation
Complex. Mike Hanna and Kyle Aitken
clanked shots off the iron in the five-
minute extra period.
The night before, on New Year’s Day,
the Panthers and North York Rangers
played to a 1-1 draw. In this one, the Pan-
thers aimed 44 shots at the Rangers’ net,
only to be thwarted by goaltender Mike
Snetsinger, a Pickering Hockey Associa-
tion (PHA) product.
The two points gained from the draws
moved the Panthers (13-17-4-2 for 32
points) into a fifth-place tie with the
Thornhill Rattlers in the league’s nine-
team South Conference standings. Thorn-
hill, however, has three games in hand.
The Panthers are unbeaten in their last
four league games and are 4-1-2 in their
last seven overall, including three games
at the Newmarket Junior Showcase Tour-
nament over the Christmas holidays.
The Panthers play their third of four
games this week tonight (Friday) at the
Pickering Recreation Complex against the
Wexford Raiders at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday,
the juniors travel to Toronto to play the
Rangers at 2:30 p.m.
The draws point to a supreme dearth of
scoring by Panthers’ snipers, although the
opportunities have been plentiful to say
the least, noted head coach Bill Purcell.
“We’ve got to get some guys scoring,”
said a clearly concerned Purcell. “We’re
making opportunities, but we’re just not
putting the puck in the net. It’s not like
we’re not getting the opportunities — we
are.”
Whereas the offence has sputtered, the
defence has saved the Panthers’ bacon of
late with outstanding efforts by Kevin Kli-
man, who tended net against North York,
and Scott Gray who started against Vaugh-
an.
“Our goaltending has been just great.
When you have a goals against average of
less than four goals a game, it’s fantastic
in this league,” explained Purcell.
Against Vaughan, the Panthers opened
a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes only to allow
the Vipers to score twice in the second pe-
riod. Pickering scored the equalizer with
5:31 remaining in the final frame.
Chris Anderson and Sean Bradley
scored for Pickering, with assists to Paul
McFarland with two and Scott Oldfield.
After two scoreless periods against
North York, the Panthers broke the goose
egg with a third-period power-play mark-
er by Dan Schofield, assisted by Aitken
and Garett Winder.
The Rangers, however, tied it up six
minutes later on a goal by, ironically,
James Snetsinger — another PHA prod-
uct.
Winder and Hanna each had goals
waived off in the North York contest.
At the Newmarket showcase tourna-
ment, Pickering defeated the Bramalea
Blues and the Port Hope Predators by 4-1
and 5-2 scores, respectively, on Dec. 27.
The Panthers finished round-robin play
with a 2-1 loss Dec. 29 to the Aurora
Tigers in a game that had the winner ad-
vancing to the quarter-finals and the loser
going home.

Time may help to ease the bitter pain
Of the loss of one held dear;
But only few know how we miss her,
And the loneliness of this year.
I try to be brave and remember
She now is free from all pain;
And at the road's end, God willing,
We, too, shall meet again.

In Loving Memory Of Our Dear
Christine Lusty
Lonely is our home without you,
Life to us is not the same,
And the world would be like heaven,
If we could have you back again,
A light from our house is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
That never can be filled,
If only we could have the time,
We never spent together,
The day you left, we didn't realize,
You were going away forever.

KOCK, Irene Mary - The environmental com-
munity mourns the tremendous loss of Irene
Kock. Ms. Kock, a renowned anti-nuclear ac-
tivist and respected author, died in an auto
accident on New Year's Eve. She was in her
41st year. Irene is survived by her loving
companion, David Martin, her long-time
partner in life and vocation. After more than
a decade at the helm of Nuclear Awareness
Project, Dave and Irene recently joined
forces with The Sierra Club of Canada. Irene
is survived by her parents, Dick and Mary
Kock, siblings John, Henry and Helen and
their partners. She will be sorely missed by all
those who knew her. Irene touched everyone
with her tremendous courage, strength, and
generosity. Her impact was so profound that
even those who never knew her will be af-
fected by her loss. Visitation will be held on
Saturday, January 5th, 2002 from 12:00 to
2:00 p.m. at the LOW & LOW FUNERAL
HOME,Uxbridge, 23 Main Street South (905-

mediately after at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flow-
ers, donations to the Sierra Club of Canada
Foundation (613-241-4611) or the Uxbridge
Conservation Association (905-852-6803)
would be deeply appreciated.

Curlers eye
Ontario title
BY JIM EASSON
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX —Three former Annan-
dale curlers are in the running for a
provincial title at the Ontario Terenet
Junior Curling Championships at the
Unionville Curling Club.
Skip Jason March and his team of
Blair Metrakos, Jason Duckworth of
Uxbridge, and Matt Critchley began
their quest for a provincial title with a
win in their first round-robin game
Wednesday. Play continues until the
championship at 2 p.m. Sunday.
The provincial junior men’s win-
ner advances to the Karcher Canadian
Junior Curling Championships in
Summerside, P.E.I. Jan. 19 to 27.
•••
Ajax resident Kristin Turcotte is
headed to the provincial women’s
curling final as the vice on Kirsten
Harmark’s Bayview rink. The Har-
mark team won the Scott Tournament
of Hearts regional playdowns Dec. 17
in Port Perry.
Turcotte is a former Canadian
champion, winning the national
women’s title with the Alison Goring
rink in 1990. The win advances the
team to the provincials in Thunder
Bay Jan. 21 to 27.
The winner there moves on to the
Canadian finals in Brandon, Man.
starting Feb. 23.
•••
League play resumes at Annandale
after the holiday break. The first
major event at the club in the new
year is the youth bonspiel Jan. 12.
