Pickering: The Province is raising safety awareness this week with its spring seat-belt campaign, which runs until Saturday, April 24. The campaign includes re- minders about the proper use of child safety seats and a focus on compliance with the mandatory use of seat-belts in Ontario. For more information about the Ministry of Transportation or about the seat-belt campaigns visit the Web site at www.mto.gov.on.ca. What’s On... Pickering:Emergency Prepared- ness Week, set for May 2 to 8, will see the Durham Emergency Mea- sures Office host a number of dis- plays to help people be aware of potential threats and be prepared for anything. On Monday, May 3, a display will be set up in the Oshawa Centre, with another to follow Friday, May 7 at the Pickering Town Centre. Both will provide citizens with details about how to deal with dangerous situations. Municipal representa- tives will also be on hand to answer any questions. Emergency situations strike without warning. Last August, mil- lions were without power and gaso- line when the power went out across the eastern seaboard. In January, 1998, millions of Canadians experienced a worst-case scenario of winter storms that caused about 100,000 people to take refuge in shelters. For more information on what can be done to prepare for an emergency, contact your local Emergency and Fire Services. Index...

Email: service@pickeringhonda.com The cost of governance More little people on the bus Day-care stops will be taken into consideration By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Wo r king parents who rely upon day care and rural secondary students who live far from a pickup point are winners in changes to the public school board’s busing policy. The Durham District School Board, in chairman Elizabeth Roy’s words, “re- laxed the rules” of procedure to approve the amendments that harmonize its trans- portation policy with that of the Durham Catholic board and try to address a growing number of busing complaints from parents. To save money, and at the urging of the provincial gov- ernment, the two boards last year voted in principle to cre- ate a transportation consor- tium with the goal of further sharing busing services. In Fe bruary, public board trustees created an ad hoc committee to review the board’s policy. The commit- tee’s report was delivered at Monday’s board meeting. Formalizing that parents can have their children bused to day care after school, the board in essence replaced its more general surplus seating procedure with a more specif- Return to their positions outside drug squad By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer DURHAM –Three former members of the Durham Re- gional Police drug unit are back at work after being sus- pended with pay two months ago for refusing to co-operate with an OPP investigation into alleged criminal miscon- duct. The three “highly decorat- ed” officers were reinstated “immediately” after submit- ting to a witness interview last Thursday, said Durham Regional Police Association (DRPA) president Doug Ca- vanaugh. “They never refused to co- operate with the investiga- tion, they just wanted assur- ances,” he said. The officers, who request- ed a transfer from the drug squad last August along with eight out of nine members of the 12-member unit, will re- turn to their Durham posi- tions outside of the drug squad. On the advice of their legal counsel, the three officers de- Holland, Johnson top 2003 expense list with almost $20,000 each By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Pickering’s six councillors and the mayor spent more than $69,000 for phones, meals and newslet- ters in 2003. The breakdown of expens- es was presented at Mon- day’s council meeting, with Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson topping the list with $19,484 - outspend- ing Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland by just $16. Mayor Dave Ryan spent the least, including the $1,113 in expenses he incurred while Ward 1 City Councillor and $91 in his first month as mayor. Coun. Johnson’s expenses included $3,255 for meals, re- ceptions and promotions, $6,489 for phones and Inter- net, $3,480 for newsletters and postage, and $4,800 for outside agencies. His ex- penses in 2002 totalled $11,514. More items were counted towards total ex- penses this year than in 2002, say City officials. Coun. Johnson explained his total was due to the num- ber of committees he chaired. “You tend to incur more expenses as you do more work, none of it is frivolous expenses. It’s the cost of doing your job,” he said. Coun. Johnson also ex- plained that some of the ex- Golden times for the Rouge Foundation celebrating 50th anniversary By Stephanie Mason Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING – The Rouge Val- ley Foundation celebrates its 50th anniversary this April and marks the occasion by re- membering ‘Mr. Conserva- tion’. Dr. A.H. Richardson — one of Canada’s most respected conservationists — is being recognized by the Rouge Val- ley Foundation for his work on behalf the valley. For the an- niversary, the foundation is choosing a specific spot in the Rouge to build a lookout tower in his honour, says Mur- ray Johnston, foundation president. On April 1, 1954, Dr. Richardson established the first conservation authority for the Rouge watershed. That piece of legislation was the framework for protecting, restoring and enhancing all area wildlife and its environ- ment. It’s also known as the Tor onto and Region Conser- vation Authority (TRCA). Fifty years later, environ- mentalists and conservation- ists who enjoy Rouge Valley want to give thanks to the man who started it all. “He was very proud,” said author Paul Masterson, about the man in his book ‘Herbert Richardson.’ “He was proud of his education.” His resume was exception- al.

Rescue safety PICKERING –– Members of the Pickering Fire Services practise procedures for ‘high angle’ rescues during a recent training session at Station No. 5. Steve Parent, front, gives recently purchased equipment a closer look, while high school co-op student Adam Cooms watches intently. A high angle rescue, for example, would involve reaching someone at the bottom of a cliff. Suspensions over for officers ✦See Council page A8 ✦See Bus page A4✦See Should page A2 •Councillors hire help; Johnson’s wife paid $4,800 – Page A8 clined orders from Durham Chief Kevin McAlpine in February to par- ticipate in the ongoing OPP investi- gation. But the constables didn’t feel the terms set out by the OPP and the chief were fair, said Mr. Cavanaugh. “The OPP wanted an audio-visual interview without giving any indica- tion beforehand what they would be asked,” he said. The officers wanted to be treated the same as several other officers in- ter viewed by the OPP last fall, in which audio statements were taken and “the particulars” of the inter- view were discussed beforehand, Mr. Cavanaugh said. Two weeks ago, the OPP and Chief McAlpine agreed to those terms and the officers agreed to par- ticipate in the investigation, he said. “Our position has been this is what should have been done two months ago,” Mr. Cavanaugh said. “I don’t know what has changed for the chief and the OPP. I would ask them that question.” Durham Regional Police spokesman Dave Selby said he couldn’t discuss any details related to how the OPP investigation is pro- ceeding. “All we can do at this point is con- firm that the suspensions have been revoked and the three officers have returned to duty,” he said. The three officers were members of Durham’s drug unit until last Au- gust, when they requested transfers. All are “extremely hard workers” with “impeccable records”, said Mr. Cavanaugh, noting the three officers were suspended without any charges. “We think this is has all been very unnecessary,” he said. Chief McAlpine called in the OPP in February 2003 to investigate alle- gations of criminal and professional misconduct made by a former unidentified drug squad officer. In August, 11 front-line officers in the 12-member drug squad request- ed transfers to other units in protest of the ongoing OPP investigation.

Durham Regional Police said a man called police Saturday, April 17 at around 4:15 p.m. to report his son had been drinking and was out of control. Officers arrived at a Beachview Street home in Ajax and took the son into custody. While en-route to 17th Division in Oshawa, the man started hitting the police cruiser and kicked in its window. Officers had to subdue the suspect with pepper spray and dropped him off at a Whitby hospi- tal for a psychiatric evaluation in- stead, police report. James Brunberg, 28, of Beachview Street, has been charged with mischief, attempting to escape police and breach of pro- bation. By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –After five months of de- lays, the Province is about to start public meetings on the latest stage of the proposed Hwy. 407 expansion through the Region. The draft terms of reference (or TOR) must be done before an envi- ronmental assessment has been completed, said Will MacKenzie, a spokesman for the Ministry of Transportation. The proposed extension would take the 407 from its current end at Brock Road in Pickering to Hwy. 11 5/35 in Clarington. Two freeway links to Hwy. 401 are being consid- ered: one near the Whitby/Ajax bor- der and another within Oshawa. The TOR were originally scoped, where a smaller study area is con- sidered using previous studies and scaled-down alternative options are used. But a court decision over a landfill site in Napanee, near Ot- tawa, ruled that scoped TORs could not be used. So the Province had to go back to the drawing board. Now it’s going to the public. “We’ll have to go back through those comments and, where neces- sary, work them in to the draft doc- uments,” Mr. MacKenzie said. “Then we’ll present it to the Min- istry of the Environment later this year.” The final terms were originally to have been submitted in the fall of 2003. In late January, an MTO spokesman said they would be in by the summer. Now MTO hopes to have them in by the end of 2004. “No, there is no exact date,” Mr. MacKenzie said. “It depends on how many changes we have to make.” Regional chairman Roger Ander- son has in the past bemoaned the frequent delays of the 407 exten- sion, construction of which was supposed to have started this year but will likely not start until at least 2010. “I’m glad they’ve acted as quickly as they have on the new terms of reference...but we’re talking a year of delays,” Mr. Anderson said. “Now we have to go through the public, then wait for the Province to make up its mind again.” The Region and its local munici- palities have also received copies of the draft TOR and will be making comments back to the Province, said Gene Chartier, manager of transportation, planning and de- sign. Both public and government comments are due to the MTO by July 1. The Region’s comments will go before a joint works-planning committee as soon as possible, Mr. Chartier said. “It (the 407) is a major piece of in- frastructure, and if the Province doesn’t start looking to the east, there are going to be problems,” Mr. Anderson said. “The 407 has been in our plans for almost 20 years.” The public meetings, all from 4 to 8 p.m. are: • May 4, Brooklin community centre, Whitby; • May 5, Rickard’s recreation complex, Bowmanville; • May 11, General Sikorski Polish veteran’s hall, Oshawa; • May 12, Ajax Community Cen- tre.

Call the Volunteer Resource Cen- tre for Durham Region at 905-430- 0479. The News Advertiser regrets the error. Future of 407 goes to the public Ajax man charged after cruiser window smashed ic, day care-only component. Trustees also changed the distance cut-off for the busing of high school students who do not have access to public transportation. Instead of four kilometres, rural students will not have to walk to a bus stop or transfer point if it’s more than 3.2 km away. “(The amended policy) identifies who is eligible and provides them with transportation right from the start of school, as opposed to an ad hoc process that doesn’t address everybody,” business superintendent Ed Hodgins said in an interview. He told trustees the child-care issue “was a point of significant dis- cussion at the ad hoc committee (meetings) due to the pervasive na- ture of child care in our society; it was an issue that had to be addressed.” Mr. Hodgins’ report to trustees noted the number of surplus seating applicants had jumped from roughly 17 0 in 1998 to about 900 in 2004. In the amended policy, busing will be pro- vided if the day-care address remains the same every day throughout the school year and if the student is eligi- ble for transportation to the desig- nated school. However those who have applied for surplus seating for other reasons, for example if the pupil is outside the school boundary, will no longer be eligible for bus service. Mr. Hodgins explains that in a shared-bus scenario, there are no sur- plus seats since the public and Catholic boards would split costs based upon the number of their stu- dents riding on the same bus. Cur- rently, filling empty seats on an exist- ing bus can be done at no cost. Mr. Hodgins says since buses are already picking up high school stu- dents in the country, and far more students live in urban areas, there would not be a great cost impact to reduce the walk distance. The final major change to the poli- cy is in how distance for busing pur- poses is measured. The public board this fall will start measuring from the closest major access road to the clos- est property line at the school. Cur- rently, the student’s driveway and the nearest driveway or pedestrian walk- way at the school are used. While the boards are proceeding with joint busing, they have been stalled at the provincial level. “We’ve had some difficulties and some confusion with the provincial government over what a consortium means from their perspective,” Mr. Hodgins told trustees.

Mr. Purcell said he has spent all his life on the Rouge after his father bought a nearby farm. Based on his knowledge and as an employee of the government at the Ministry of Lands and Forestry, Dr. Richardson was able to get things done, said Mr. Masterson. According to the author, Dr. Richardson believed that parks weren’t just for animals, but for peo- ple. And he worked hard to protect that. The government support has been tremendous, but according to Mr. Johnston, so to has the public. “The community support has been so strong,” he said. “Loblaws on Liv- erpool Road has been a big supporter of us.” Community help comes from all over Ontario, ranging from Durham Region to metropolitan areas. And it continues to grow. Anyone who visits the Rouge can go for a scenic, peaceful and majestic adventure through a park filled with trees, trails and wildlife. Travel through a large forest, walk along the Rouge River, observe exotic birds and explore the Greater Toronto Area’s largest green space treasure. “We have five recognized trails,” said Mr. Johnston.

Editorial Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 We can all play a part to f ight vandalism Call police about suspicious activity or even form a neighbourhood watch It's as sure a sign of spring and summer as tulips, sun, and hay fever. But like weeds in our lawns, this is one problem all communities can do without. Each year without fail, as the warmer weather sets in, so too do the problems with vandalism, destruction and senseless violence. All under the cover of night. Communities across Durham have been coming to grips with the issue the past few years. Too frequently we've heard stories about teens on their way home being swarmed for a few dollars or clothing and then beaten and left lying on the ground. Other times property is targeted. Too often we've heard about the destruction of a community landmark, or the desecration of a local park. Too frequently we've been left shaking our heads. So, what can be done? Quite a bit, but everyone in the community has a role to play. That includes police officers, politicians and all residents. Let's start with the public, because that's where offi- cers and politicians turn to so often for information. If you know of a problem area in your neighbour- hood, let police know. Tell them about the group that's reg ularly meeting late at night at the local park or at your area school. Or, take it a step further and form a neighbourhood watch committee. There's no better in- centive for bringing a group of like-minded citizens to- gether than wanting to ensure you're living in a safe community. The benefits, both financially and in terms of peace of mind, are plenty. However, remember, only through the help of the en- tire community can police truly get involved and make a difference. For their part, local municipalities can help tackle the problem with strong penalties for anyone found guilty of damaging property. And for those that don't already have them in place, municipalities can consid- er curfews for local parks and other public areas. Again, with stiff penalties for offenders. Above all, residents are best served by not putting themselves in dangerous situations. Make sure to use well-lit pathways and sidewalks when out at night, don't confront strangers if you believe they're up to trouble, and be aware of your surroundings. Everyone in the community has a role to play. Only by acting together can we truly ensure a safe summer sea- son, where heading out at night is no longer a gamble.

Letters to the Editor There's no place like home, there's no place like home. You got that right Dorothy. When you're sick or recovering or just plain worn out, you can't beat your own place. It's amazing how comforting just being around your own stuff can be. It's like you are once again surround- ed by a thousand little talismans, all beaming their healing power into you. Things that under normal cir- cumstances might be an annoy- ance, the thrum of the dryer, the rhythmic swish and swash of the dishwasher, even the sound of the dog's nails click, click, click- ing across the hardwood, are now comforting, perhaps even hypnotic suggestions that all will soon be well. Even if you're thrashing about in bed, unable to sleep, there is a certain comfort in knowing that at least you are wide awake in your own bed. Even throwing up is always more tolerable in your own toilet. During my early days back, when I was spending most of my time on the couch in the front room, the nicest sound of the day came around 3 p.m. I would hear the door to the family room open and slam closed followed hard by the happy, energetic voices of my children shouting "Hello, we're home!" At first, their mother tried to shush them, to let their father sleep, but I vetoed that. Their voices and their laughter and light birdlike chat- ter, f loating in from the kitchen, was a more potent healer than a thousand antibiotics. I am the most fortunate man in the world, too, in that I have a wife who apparently, was born to heal people. From the moment my illness was diagnosed, an engine inside my wife began to rev, a little Jew- ish two-stroke, built over two millennia ago, that runs like a top. This thing cranks out nur- turing and kindness by the ladle. From dawn to dusk I can hear my wife and her engine in the kitchen, pouring love and heal- ing and hope into muffin tins and juice glasses and casserole dishes. Cancer cells are leaping out of my body like rats from a sinking ship. My wife is pissed at them and they know it. Only the stu- pid and proud ones are still hanging around now and she has something special planned for them. Who would've thought I'd ever feel bad for some sorry- assed cancer cells? The only person at home who is somewhat indifferent to my situation is, of course, the dog. The dog will not get up from his place in front of the woodstove when I need to shuffle past. The dog's only concern was that I might develop Alzheimer's and forget where his leash is kept. The dog has his own baggage. He looks at me with a certain amount of disdain, as I lie on the couch. I know what he is think- ing. He is thinking that if it weren't for me, he would have that couch to himself and he is thinking if I am so sick how come I don't have one of those funnel collars around my head so I will not lick myself. Yes, Dorothy, there is indeed no place like home. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Neil Crone e n t e r l a u g h i n g Lower the limit for salary list To the editor: Re: 'Six-figure club is now out- dated,' editorial, April 7. Like many citizens, I was out- raged to read the salary report for government employees in the area. It goes to show how govern- ment spending is completely out of control in this country. Your editorial suggested that maybe the salary cut-off ought to be raised higher than $100,000 to ref lect inflation. I strongly dis- agree. If anything, the cut-off should be lowered. The salary figures quoted actu- ally vastly understate the true cost of government employees, since they do not include other payroll costs, such as the ex- tremely generous government employee benefits that most em- ployees in the private sector can only dream of (gold-plated group insurance plan, huge fully in- dexed defined-benefit pension plans, generous vacation pay, sick pay, etc.). These extra costs can easily add up to an additional 25 per cent or more of the employee's basic salary. If the government were to calculate and disclose the actual cost of its employees, then maybe a case for raising the cut- off could be made. As for employees being on the list because of such things as overtime, if there are a lot of em- ployees in this situation, the re- port at least tells us that the gov- ernment ought to be looking to hire more employees at regular salaries, instead of paying exces- sive overtime. This would save money and provide more em- ployment. The one thing that all the re- cent scandals tell us (sponsor- ship, gun registry, HRDC and OPG, to name a few) is that to keep the government account- able, we need far more govern- ment disclosure, not less. Ed Hosmar Oshawa Driftwood Theatre Group needs support To the editor: Re: 'It’s a made in Durham Shakesperean tragedy,' April 9. I was most interested in Christy Chase's article about the funding problems of the Drift- wood Theatre Group. As a long-time supporter, I have attended performances over its 10-year history, watching it grow from a grass roots volunteer initiative with opportunities for local students, to a professional summer touring theatre group producing performances of high calibre. The Driftwood Theatre Group is a well-run cultural organiza- tion that plays a critical social function in our community. Costs to continue have reached a level that is not sustainable, yet the costs to our community are great if we lose this creative talent. Driftwood Theatre has intro- duced dramatic arts to individu- als who would otherwise never have this opportunity, and in a way that adds to the health and vitality of our community. The troupe now needs dona- tions from those who can afford to pay so that they can continue to make professional, classic the- atre accessible to everyone. Cheryl MacLeod Newcastle Anderson’s actions build case to elect chairman To the editor: Re: 'Anderson pushing transit,' April 4. For the second time in a month I am disgusted and incensed by an item in your coverage of Durham council. In March I was angered by huge raises members of council granted themselves. This time it was a direct quote from the regional chairman. "You (local municipalities) can either get on board for transit or you're going to have to give me more money for roads because I can't keep widening them," said Roger Anderson. The dictionary defines a chair- man as: 1) a person who is in charge of a meeting; 2) the head of a committee; and 3) in New Brunswick the head of a village council; and 4) a man whose work is wheeling people in a chair. There is nothing about having the right to threaten councillors or personally widen roads. It is my opinion that Mr. An- derson is under a few delusions: 1) that he was elected at large in the Region, or even in one of the municipalities; 2) that he is enti- tled to impose conditions rather than referee a meeting; 3) that the funds so allocated belong to him; and 4) that he is in charge of widening the roads. What more rationale is there that we need a chairman elected at large, not appointed at the whim of 28 regional councillors? Vera E.

The money falls under the out- side agencies column in the Picker- ing council expense report present- ed to council Monday night. Coun. Johnson said because he lives in north Pickering, he set up an office in his own home instead of relying on the administrative sup- port provided at the Civic Complex and shared between all six council- lors. He said his wife takes a lot of the calls from constituents and handles e-mails. Coun. Johnson said in the past two terms having her administra- tive support has been valuable since he is busy with his duties as chairman of several committees. “I found it very useful over the past six years (to have the sup- port),” he said. “Most of the stuff we handle (as municipal politicians) are day to day so it is important to have some- one there (to respond).” Councillors are given a budget of $4,800 per year to pay for any addi- tional administrative support they require. Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland also used outside services. Coun. Holland, chairman of Win- terfest, said he paid $4,800 to David Johnson for his work as vice-chair- man of Winterfest. “We definitely do have help at the City but to have somebody out after hours and go out for the number of hours I have him putting in there’s no way I could get somebody to do that (as a volunteer),” he said. Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles spent $4,400 for the outside services to design and layout his newsletter, while Ward 2 City Coun- cillor Bill McLean expensed $650 for the help he received with his newsletter. penses, such as the $3,255 for meals, receptions and promotions, were in- curred for regional duties because there isn’t a budget for that at the Durham level. Coun. Holland’s total of $19,468 was an increase over the $13,012 he expensed in 2002. “Relative to the level of activity I’m putting in, they’re appropriate,” he said. He added being accessible through a cellphone and sending out regular notices to residents in his ward are necessary expenses to do his job. “If I didn’t do those things I wouldn’t be doing the job the way I see needing to do it,” he said. Coun. Holland’s top categories in- cluded $6,699 for newsletter and postage, $2,209 for meals, recep- tions and promotions, and $4,800 for outside agency services. He explained the majority of the newsletter expenses were spent on notices for public meetings concern- ing the waterfront. Coun. Holland is chairman of the waterfront co-ordi- nating committee. The $2,209 for meals, receptions and promotions went mostly to en- ter tainment for the waterfront cele- brations, a dinner for the waterfront co-ordinating committee, and to the library board dinner he co-hosted, Coun. Holland said. Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean’s $6,971 in expenses in 2003 was less than the $12,701 he claimed in 2002. He said part of the decrease was because he went to fewer con- ferences. Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles expensed $13,430 in 2003 compared with $9,630 in 2002. He said part of the reason for the in- crease was because he hired help to do his newsletter. In addition to the $4,575 Coun. Pickles spent on newsletters, no- tices and postage, he also spent $4,400 on support from outside agencies to help design and layout the newsletter. Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner expensed the least of any regional councillor, with his $8,491 coming in less than the $11,380 last year. Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Kevin Ashe (who only served one month in December) spent $437 his first month in office.

The youth safer partying kits are meant to help parents to help their children prepare for difficult decisions and situations that may arise from using alcohol or drugs in a party setting. “Any teen can end up in a difficult situation,” says Tricia Dallaway, a public health nurse with the Health Department. “It’s important that teens feel comfortable calling an adult for help if they find themselves in a tough situa- tion because one poorly made choice about the use of drugs or alcohol can put a teen’s safety at risk. By speaking to teens about these issues while planning for the coming prom season, parents can help their teens enjoy a safe cele- bration.” The new kit contains information and re- sources to help parents address alcohol and drug use with their kids. It provides parents with suggestions on managing the potential risks they may encounter as a result of their teen’s behaviour. A national study has found that 53 per cent of women who reported being sexually as- saulted admitted to being under the influence of alcohol at the time, while other research shows that 40 per cent of teenage drivers who were in fatal accidents had been under the in- fluence of alcohol. A 2003 Ontario Student Drug Use survey found that alcohol and marijuana continue to be the substances most commonly used by teens. Free copies of the youth safer partying kit along with more information about substance abuse can be found on the Durham Regional Health Department Web site, www.region.durham.on.ca, or by calling the Health Department at 905-723-8521 or 1-800- 841-2729, ext. 2545. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 21, 2004 PAGE A9 A/P Do you want to learn about managing arthritis and arthritis medications? 1.800.321.1433/info@on.arthritis.ca www.arthritis.ca/ontario Join us for this free educational event that provides people living with arthritis and their families with the information to better manage their life.

Year-end figures up about 50 per cent over 2002, residential numbers set record DURHAM –The value of building permits issued in Durham was up nearly 50 per cent in 2003, to about $1.7 billion from $1.2 billion in 2003, the 2003 building permit activity re- view said. New records were set in 2003, with $1.08 billion in residential permits, compared to $808 million in 2002. Around $649.8 million in non-resi- dential permits were given, com- pared to $375.4 in 2002. “The level of building permit activ- ity in Durham Region has been ex- ceptional in 2003,” the report said. “The total value of building per- mits...issued surpassed all previous- ly recorded levels in the Region since its inception in 1974.” Whitby had the greatest increase in building permit value, up 64 per cent from 2002. Ajax was second with a 34.7 per cent increase, fol- lowed by Uxbridge at 32.7. Both Brock and Scugog experienced de- creases. Durham contributed 13.2 per cent of the total value of building permits in the Greater Toronto Area, up from 11.5 per cent in 2002.

See page B2 Sports Briefs APRIL 21, 2004Two sports, no worries Jonke up for the challenge in collegiate career By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Playing two sports at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School never posed a problem for Frank Jonke. So, the 19-year-old Grade 12 stu- dent sees no worries in being a dou- ble-sport athlete for the Notre Dame College Falcons of South Eu- clid, Ohio, near Cleveland, starting in the fall. "Soccer and basketball are at two different time periods (of the year), so I hope (to play)," says Jonke who starred in both with the Monarchs this season. While he's signed on for a soccer scholarship, he plans to try out for the Falcons' men's basketball team. A hard-nosed frontcourt player with the Monarchs' basketball team, Jonke led the team to the quarter-finals at the Ontario Feder- ation of School Athletic Associa- tions championships (OFSAA) last month. And, in soccer, he was instrumen- tal in helping the senior boys' team capture the Durham senior 'AAA' title from the rival Dunbarton High School Spartans. The city resident signed a letter of intent to play at the small liberal arts college two weeks ago. The Fal- cons play in the National Associa- tion of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) American Mideast Confer- ence and have had a successful run in their three-year history, winning the conference title two years ago, ending its season in the regional f inal this year. But, for Jonke, the successful soc- cer program at Notre Dame College was only one of the factors that drew him to the institution. He notes the small student population and the Falcons' coach, Michael 'Mac' McBride, also figured promi- nently in his decision. "It's a very small school and you're a name, not a number. You know everybody there," explains Jonke, who credits his parents, Frank and Joanne, and former coaches Tom Croft and Paul Deabreu with spurring him on to a scholarship. "The coach is also very nice and straightforward. He tells you what he thinks; he doesn't beat around the bush." And, the Notre Dame soccer pro- gram is overjoyed to have the big centre-forward on board. McBride terms Jonke's signing as "what could be considered the biggest player signing in program history. "We expect Frank to be a big part of (the program). We lost two all- Americans to graduation and we're trying to fill their shoes and Frank has the potential to do that." Jonke says he had "five or six" schools interested in signing him to a soccer scholarship. He received calls from St. Bonaventure in New Yo rk State, James Madison, the University of Buffalo, Niagara Uni- versity and Notre Dame. In addition to the Ohio school, he paid only one other official visit, checking out St. Bonaventure. In the summer, Jonke will contin- ue to play at a high level for the To ronto Lynx of the Super 'Y' league, an elite youth development club for players across North Amer- ica. It serves as a feeder program for the 'A' league Toronto Lynx. The Ontario elite league, says Jonke, features many games against American competition and should prepare him well for what he'll face on the collegiate pitch. Jonke's no stranger to playing soccer at a high level. Last year as a member of the Unionville Strikers, under Deabreu, he helped the team earn a silver medal at the Canadian National Soccer Championships in the 18-and-under age group. He hopes to leave secondary school athletics with a bang, as the Monarchs soccer team plays for the provincial title in Pickering in early June. Although he's a little apprehen- sive about playing due to the possi- bility of injury, he's nonetheless eager to end his time at St. Mary on a high note -- with a provincial title. Jonke plans to study law at Notre Dame. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Frank Jonke plans to continue to be a two-sport athlete at Notre Dame College in Ohio, starting this fall. He was a standout soccer and basketball player at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School this year. Low numbers, high expectations Despite small turnout, Rock has big goals By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — With the defensive side of the rink all but squared away, the Ajax-Pickering Rock is searching for scoring. The Ontario Lacrosse Association senior 'B' league squad is in the throes of preparing for its second season of play. Training camp got under way last Thursday and contin- ued through the weekend at the Vil- lage Arena in Ajax. The final session is tomorrow (Thursday) night at the Ajax Community Centre. The Rock opens its 16-game sched- ule on their home floor against the defending league champion Owen Sound Woodsmen at the Pickering Recreation Complex Sunday, May 2 at 7 p.m. Paul St. John, the Rock's head coach and general manager, says he's buoyed by the quality of players at camp, but admits he's somewhat concerned by the low number in at- tendance. He expected 25 to 35 play- ers, but there have been only about 20, although some players are expect- ed to make appearances at the final two sessions. "I have mixed emotions. I'm defi- nitely happy with the calibre of the players coming in, but our numbers are down a bit," says St. John. The good news is the Rock is only looking to add about six or seven new players to the team's roster, especial- ly those with an offensive flair. "We're looking for a few more play- ers who can put the ball in the net, but every team in the league is in the same boat where that's concerned,' says St. John. Of special note is the emergence of two former Clarington Green Gaels junior players -- Tim Holland and Cody Laforme - at training camp. Both are making a strong case to- ward sticking on the roster. Holland, more noted as a defensive specialist with the junior 'B' Green Gaels, has shown he's also capable of playing offence, too. As for Laforme, the brother of Rock veteran Brandon Laforme, St. John says he could be a key contribu- tor this season. "If he turns out to be as good as we think he is, he could be the best rook- ie in the league," explains St. John. "He's fast and he has good hands." The Rock expect to generate of- fence with the return of snipers Brad Cann, a 20-goal scorer last season, Brandon Laforme and Paul O'Grady. Shawn Cardy, plucked off the Burlington Chiefs roster in the recent dispersal draft, and Pat VanHooser will also help the team’s offence. In goal, the Rock features arguably the best tandem in the league in Mike Miron and Jay Preece. Miron, who played last season for the Na- tional Lacrosse league's Arizona Sting, was pivotal in the Rock's sur- prising 11-5 regular-season record and playoff berth in its inaugural sea- son. As well, the Rock boast a full com- plement of returning defensive play- ers, including Graham Passmore, Eddie Fines, Kevin Taylor, Ian Harloff, Bill McLean and Shawn Summerfield. Jamie McKeracher, picked up at the trading deadline a year ago, is expected to join the Rock in late May. He recently completed the NLL season with the Anaheim Storm. Starting his first full season as head coach after taking over on the bench from Keith Begley three games into last season, St. John is excited to get going. He notes the Rock's ulti- mate goal is to win the league title and ultimately the Canadian crown. "I spent the winter wondering what we have to do to get better. Our goal is to get to the Canadian champi- onships and I'm definitely excited to get back together and get working on our mission," he says. Winning a league title, he admits, won't be an easy chore, as the Woods- men and the Kitchener-Waterloo Ko- diaks are the teams to beat again this year. "They do have very good teams, so the only way to beat those guys is by outworking them," he says, adding both clubs are well stocked with NLL players.

Girls go big in tourney win DURHAM —The Durham West Light- ning bantam 'AA' girls' rep hockey team rose to the occasion in Brampton on the weekend. Playing at an event dubbed the 'world's biggest female hockey tourna- ment,' the Lightning put forth a golden ef- fort to defeat Markham 4-3 in a thrilling double-overtime win to capture the title. Natalie Spooner was the hero for Durham West, netting the winner, assisted by Danielle Boudreau. Kathleen Edwards opened the scoring on an assist from Lind- say Hill. Tara Watchorn, on a pass from Amy Johnson, blistered a shot from the point to score Durham West's second goal. Boudreau potted the third goal, set up by Kirsten Roach and Kristi Farrow. Jessica Larabie played a solid game in net to post the win. To reach the finals, Durham had to go through its longtime rivals and tournament hosts, Brampton Canadettes. In the previ- ous two matches against Brampton, Durham West outshot and outplayed Brampton only to find itself on the wrong side of the scoresheet. This match would provide a different result. The Lightning proved too much for Brampton, winning 2- 1. Jessica Rankin was outstanding in net, frustrating Brampton shooters. In earlier action, Durham defeated Vaughan 5-1 and Etobicoke 1-0. Durham West head coach Scott Hill says the tournament win sets up his charges perfectly for a solid run at the On- tario crown at the provincial champi- onships this weekend. "The pressure on these girls is tremendous and they responded to the challenge. This was a big victory for us going into this week's provincial champi- onships, and we've clearly positioned our- selves as the favourite," he said. Hill also stated, "The team is playing in- spired hockey right now, and exactly where we want to be heading into the final weekend of the season." Other team members are Katie Caggiula, Brooke Sawyer, Kayla Richard, Erin Small, and Laura Anderson. Bob Wa tchorn and Doug Edwards are assistant coaches. The trainer is Gayle Boudreau and the manager is Donna Anderson. PICKERING MEN’S BASKETBALL LEAGUE Playoff results from April 5. GAME ONE Accent Building Sciences 47 vs. Synergy Trade Group 33.

Pickering High School has as- sembled its fourth East Meets West cultural show and dance, to be held tomorrow (Thursday) at the school. The goal of the event is to educate students about different cultures, according to PHS teacher Rohan Dass. "It was started because of the changing makeup of the school (di- versity)," said Mr. Dass. "One way to raise awareness is to show stu- dents through cultural displays." Mr. Dass added the show is gain- ing in popularity since its incep- tion, featuring a wider spectrum of students every year representing different backgrounds. "It is building now... we're trying to get more of a (cultural) mix, but it's getting bigger every year." He said despite the ice storm around the time of the last show, there was still an impressive turnout. Approximately 600 people attended the cultural show, with 200 to 300 participating in the dance. The cultural segment consists of talent shows, guest artists, music, and a fashion show, which Mr. Dass described as "fantastic." The dance portion allows students to bring a guest. The proceeds are donated to the To r onto Caribbean Children's Foundation, funding local hospital treatment for children who cannot get the same care in the Caribbean. "We know the money will be spent here in Canada," Mr. Dass com- mented. Tickets are $5 for the cultural show, or $7 for the show and dance. The show runs 6:15 to 7:45 p.m., with the dance commencing at 8 p.m. and ending at 10 p.m. Picker- ing High is at 180 Church St. N. in Ajax. To order tickets, call Mr. Dass at 905-683-4760.

A/P PAGE B4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 21, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Notice of Public Information Centre Series #3 407 East Completion Environmental Assessment (EA) Terms of Reference and Individual EA THE STUDY The Ministry of Transportation (MTO), in consultation with the Region of Durham and local municipalities, is undertaking an Environmental Assessment (EA) Terms of Reference and Individual EA to examine provincial transportation problems and opportunities within the Region of Durham. BACKGROUND In the summer of 2003, a draft EA Terms of Reference (ToR) was completed for 407 East Completion, in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Following a review of comments submitted by the public, agencies and municipalities, and recent case law that has resulted in changes to how EA ToR documents must be prepared, MTO recently completed a revised EA ToR document. The EA ToR provides a framework to guide the preparation of the Individual Environmental Assessment and must be approved by the Minister of the Environment prior to the Individual Environmental Assessment being initiated. Public and agency consultation is a key component in the preparation of a final EA ToR document. PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES (PICs) A series of Public Information Centres has been scheduled to provide an opportunity for the public to view the information regarding the EA ToR document. This is the third series of PICs dealing with the preparation of the ToR. The purpose of these PICs is to present the revisions to the EA ToR, prior to submission to the Minister of the Environment. Each PIC will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. You are encouraged to “drop-in” any time during the 4-hour period, view the information panels, ask questions of the Project Team members one-on-one and/or fill out a comment sheet. There will be no formal presentation or facilitated question and answer period at these sessions. The PICs will be held as follows: Tues., May 4, 2004 Wed., May 5, 2004 Tues., May 11, 2004 Wed., May 12, 2004 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Brooklin Community Centre Rickards Recreation Complex Gen.

'Guys and Dolls,' that's what. The Broadway musical, with music by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, is playing at Oshawa Little Theatre through May 8. "'Guys and Dolls' was written in 19 51," said director Michael Schnei- der. "It's based on the writing of New Yo rk author Damon Runyan. He spent quite a bit of time writing about the nightlife of New York City in the 19 20s and 30s. When the musical was written, it was update to the 50s and 60s." The story centres on New York's biggest floating crap game run by Nathan Detroit. The guys of the title are the gamblers. The dolls are the dancers from the Hot Box nightclub, a notch or two down from the top nightclubs of the city. Nathan is also half of one of the two love stories in the musical. His long- suffering fiancé of 14 years is Ade- laide. "He just cannot commit to getting married," Schneider said of Nathan. Sky Masterson is the biggest gam- bler, a character Runyan called "The Sky." He brags to Nathan that he can get any woman to go to Havanna with him for a week. Nathan takes the bet but says he gets to pick the woman. Sky agrees. Nathan picks Sarah Brown, a sergeant with the Salvation Army's Save a Soul mission. "Nathan and Adelaide, their rela- tionship is very comedic," Schneider said. "Sky and Sarah, it's more realis- tic." Added to the love stories are the laughs, the songs and the dances and a cast of 27, including the leads. "It's a classical musical basically," Schneider said. "It's one of the best loved." The big songs include 'Luck Be a Lady Tonight,' 'I'll Know,' 'Take Back Your Mink,' 'I Love You a Bushel and a Peck' and 'Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat.' The play was made into a movie in the 50s with Frank Sinatra as Nathan and Marlon Brando as Sky. For OLT, Nathan is played by Lance Pask while Sky is played by Dean Peel. "Both Lance and Dean were last seen in OLT's production of 'Into The Wood' where they were the two princes," Schneider said. "I've worked on stage with both of them." Adelaide is played by Tanya Wills, well-known for her work on stages in Durham Region, Schneider said. Uni- versity of Toronto voice major Laura Klassen, an O'Neill Collegiate gradu- ate, is Sarah. "She is absolutely outstanding," Schneider, a performing arts teacher at Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic Secondary School in Oshawa. "I'm just so delighted with her." The character of Nicely Nicely Johnson is played by Phil Cook. The gamblers, such as gangster Big Julie from Chicago, and dancers pro- vide the comedic touch in the musi- cal, Schneider said. The crap game sails April 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30 and May 1, 6, 7, 8 at 8 p.m. sharp, with a 2 p.m. matinee April 25. Tickets are $18. For ticket in- formation, call 905-723-0282. OLT is located on Russett Avenue in north Oshawa. Dean Peel (Sky) and Laura Klassan (Sarah) rehearse a scene from Oshawa Little Theatre’s, production of Guys and Dolls, recently.

The annual concert has raised more than $20,000 in the three years its been run- ning. "The first year, we had 200 people in attendance...an au- dience comprised of family, friends and co-workers," says Darryl Ducommun, whose dream of using music to raise money for sick children got the show up and running. "By 2003, we had grown to have more than 400 people. At this point, people attend because they have such a great time at the show." This year's concert will take place May 16 from 7 to 9:30 p.m., and will feature a wide variety of musical tal- ent, including singer Cheryl Duetsch, the Brooklin Vil- lage Kids Choir, and Anita Perras, two-time winner of the Canadian Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year award. The show will be held at Eastdale Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute, 265 Har- mony Rd. N. in Oshawa. Tickets are $10 and are available by contacting Joan- na Thornton at 905-985-0494, John Manning at 905-429- 3131 or Darryl Ducommun at 905-725-4800.
