Premier played
Santa well
More than 100 needy Durham
children received Yule gifts
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
More than 100 children in
Durham whose families contacted
the Region asking for assistance
during the Christmas season re-
ceived gifts from the Province last
month, a Regional councillor re-
ports.
Pickering Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner reports the names
of 119 local children were added to
the premier’s Christmas list after
Premier Mike Harris pledged in
early December to personally see
that every child in the province had
a present this past Christmas.
“This is one time I’m happy to
be able to compliment the
Province for coming through,”
says Coun. Brenner, who arranged
for the Region to dedicate an exist-
ing toll-free line to accept phone
calls from residents here who
wanted to ensure their child re-
ceived a Christmas gift.
Coun. Brenner, who serves as
the Children’s Advocate for
Durham Region, reports Regional
staff logged the names and ad-
dresses of those who phoned the
hot line and forwarded those
names to the premier’s office prior
to Christmas.
The Region then worked with
the Ministry of Community and
Social Services to authenticate the
names on the list and gifts were
sent to 119 of the approximately
300 names submitted.
“Every child who was authenti-
cated did get a gift,” Coun. Bren-
ner reports. “I’m very pleased.
“I was very skeptical at the be-
ginning,” he adds, noting “every-
body put aside their politics...the
real winners were the children.”
Coun. Brenner explains al-
though 300 names were submitted
to the Province, some children’s
names were submitted without the
knowledge of the family. So, gifts
were provided to those children
whose parents or guardian con-
firmed there was a need.
“It was a very emotional experi-
ence for the staff of Durham Re-
gion,” Coun. Brenner says, noting
the exercise provided a “real eye
opener” in terms of the need in the
local community.
He believes many of the chil-
dren who received gifts may not
have done so had the Region not
come forward to act as a go-be-
tween with the Province.
“People still can and do fall
through the cracks,” he adds.
Ministry spokesman Dianne
Lone reports more than 2,000 gifts,
donated by businesses, firefighting
services, churches and individuals
were distributed to needy children
across the province.
Pickering crash sends three to hospital
PICKERING —A father and
son received serious injuries in a
three-vehicle crash here Wednes-
day afternoon.
Durham Regional Police said a
Pontiac Bonneville carrying the
two was travelling westbound on
Finch Avenue around 1:35 p.m.
when their vehicle was rear-
ended by a Pontiac Transport van,
driven by a 37-year-old Pickering
man.
An eastbound Oldsmobile
Cutlass driven by another Picker-
ing man then broadsided the vic-
tims’ vehicle.
The father was taken by ambu-
lance to Toronto’s Sunnybrook
Health Sciences Centre with life-
threatening injuries.
He was listed in serious condi-
tion Thursday morning.
His son was transported to the
Ajax and Pickering Health Centre
(APHC), and subsequently taken
to Sunnybrook, where he was
listed in serious condition.
His condition had been up-
graded to fair by Thursday morn-
ing.
An ambulance also took the
driver of the Cutlass to the APHC
where he was treated and re-
leased.
The other person involved in
the crash was not injured, police
said.
Police said both the Cutlass
and the Bonneville were de-
stroyed in the collision, while the
van sustained heavy damage. The
total damage estimate was about
$22,000.
The Durham Regional Police
Traffic Management Unit is con-
tinuing its investigation of the
crash.
Anyone with information re-
garding the accident is asked to
call the traffic management unit
of the Durham Regional Police at
579-1520, ext. 5255.

BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
The Satan’s Choice motorcycle gang’s 35-year
biker reign in Oshawa has officially ended with the
mass conversion of its members to the notorious
Hells Angels.
Provincial police say about 150 members of On-
tario outlaw gangs, including the Choice, ParaDice
Riders, Lobos and Last Chance, switched alle-
giances to the Hells Angels at a “patch-over” cere-
mony Friday in Quebec.
The conversions give the Hells Angels its first
seven Ontario chapters, including one in Oshawa,
the founding city of the Satan’s Choice.
The Hells Angels expansion into Ontario, which
police have predicted for years, is believed to have
been triggered by the entry of the Texas-based Ban-
didos, which recently formed an alliance with the
Rock Machine. The Rock Machine, which now has
three chapters in Ontario, is the Hells’chief rival in
Quebec, where the two sides have waged a bloody
turf battle in recent years.
Durham Regional Police Superintendent of
Crime Management Chuck Mercier compared the
biker development to a “corporate takeover. The
larger corporation (the international Hells Angels)
wants more of the market share.”
The move into Ontario by the Bandidos and
Hells Angels has forced smaller clubs, such as the
Choice, with 96 members, to make tough “business
decisions”, he said.
“They had to decide: Align themselves with the
bigger clubs or be annihilated.”
It’s believed about 10 Oshawa Choice members,
who received patches identifying themselves as
full-fledged Hells Angels members, will form the
city’s chapter.
Supt. Mercier said the new Hells Angels mem-
bers are sponsoring “anywhere from two to a half-
dozen prospects,” known as probationary members
or “strikers”.
He said the Satan’s Choice clubhouse on Ortono
Road, near Bloor Street and Wilson Road, and the
ParaDice Riders-owned marina in Caesarea, in
Scugog Township, is likely now “property of Hells
Angels”.
The Choice logo, a grinning devil’s head, re-
mained perched atop the nondescript house yester-
day.
Police say they are prepared to deal with an in-
crease in organized criminal activity. In anticipation
of the new developments, a 44-member provincial
squad, comprised of officers from 18 police forces,
was created in 1998. Durham has one officer as-
signed to it, Supt. Mercier said.
Police say the Hells Angels have been visible in
Durham for several years, forging ties with local
bikers.
“The Angels have been around in our region for
years. Now we have a Hells Angels chapter. It’s not
alarming to us, we’ve been alarmed for years (about
the possibility). We’ve always been on the alert,”
Supt. Mercier said.
“They have a notorious reputation of using in-
timidation tactics and violence to achieve their
criminal goals. They are more sophisticated.”
He said the force plans to keep tabs on the gang
in the “traditional ways” and will work with the
provincial unit.
Ontario Provincial Police Staff Sergeant Don
Bell, of the Provincial Special Squad, said he does
not anticipate a repeat in Ontario of the violence in
Quebec, where more than 100 deaths in the past six
years have been blamed on the war between the
Hells Angels and the Rock Machine.
He said the Hells Angels main business is drug
trafficking, but they are also traditionally linked to
the exotic dance business, prostitution, extortion
and theft.
“The Hells Angels have an interest in any place
where they can make money, and Oshawa is close
to Hwy. 401, it’s part of the Golden Horseshoe and
part of a very lucrative market,” said Staff Sgt. Bell.
Police said Friday’s patch-over will ultimately
give the Hells Angels 10 chapters in Ontario and
181 worldwide.
For the Choice, the change of allegiance marks
the end of one of Ontario’s oldest outlaw motorcy-
cle gangs. The original chapter was founded in the
mid-1960s by Oshawa native Bernie Guindon.
Thirty years later, in 1995 Mr. Guindon, revered as
a rebel leader by outlaw bikers and branded a crime
kingpin by authorities, stepped down as Satan’s
Choice president. A year later a much-publicized
“retirement party” was held in his honour, much to
the skepticism of biker intelligence officers.

Children
urged to
get second
flu shot
Durham sets up
January clinics
for booster
Children who recently received
their first flu shot are being encour-
aged by the local health unit to get a
second shot in the coming weeks to
strengthen their immune system.
“It is recommended for children
less than nine years of age who have
received a flu shot for the first time
to receive a second vaccination at
least four weeks later,” explains Dr.
Donna Reynolds, Durham’s Associ-
ate Medical Officer of Health. “This
helps to build up their immune sys-
tem and improves the effectiveness
of the vaccine.”
However, children vaccinated in
previous years do not require a sec-
ond shot, she notes.
The Durham Region Health De-
partment has offered free flu shot
clinics here since
Nov. 16 as part
of the Ministry
of Health’s
provincewide in-
fluenza vaccina-
tion campaign
designed to re-
duce emergency
room overcrowd-
ing during the flu
season.
The vaccina-
tion program is
being funded by
the ministry to
the tune of $38
million in an ef-
fort to make ap-
proximately 7.9
million doses of the vaccine avail-
able to Ontarians.
Here in Durham, Dr. Reynolds
says 160,000 doses of the vaccine
have been distributed by the depart-
ment to various businesses and doc-
tors’ offices.
She also reports about 8,200
shots were given out during the free
clinics the health department held in
November and December.
And, she says, “anyone who
would still like to protect themselves
against influenza can go to their
family doctor.”
The health unit is hosting two
free vaccination clinics from 1 to 7
p.m. on Jan. 18 and 25 at the depart-
ment’s Whitby office on the second
floor of the Lang Tower at the Whit-
by Mall, 1615 Dundas St. E.
All children requiring a second
flu shot must have an appointment
scheduled.
Appointments can also be made
by anyone who would like to receive
a free flu shot at one of these clinics.
To book an appointment or for
more information on the free flu vac-
cination program, call the Durham
Region Health Department at 723-
8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2195.

School where the speed limit is 40
km/h. I live on Sheppard.
As stated by Fairport Road res-
idents, it is difficult and dangerous
to come out of your driveway
when traffic is moving at speeds
well above the speed limit. Last
summer I measured the distance
between two landmarks (a large
crack in the pavement and a man-
hole cover) and started clocking
cars for a few minutes on Satur-
days.
I measured speeds as high as 90
km/h for cars, while one motorcy-
cle went by at over 115 km/h.
Stephen Brake, the City’s traffic
and waste management co-ordina-
tor, was in my driveway one Sat-
urday for 25 minutes and used the
City’s radar gun to clock 95 cars.
The average speed was 61.2
km/h. Only one vehicle respected
the limit, and only six were not
going more than 10 km/h above
the limit. The highest speed he
recorded was 85 km/h per hour.
After his survey we saw a
radar-equipped car posted on the
street twice. But what good is
that? First you have the speeder
and then the cop chasing him at an
even higher speed. People kept
speeding by as the officer wrote
tickets.
Municipalities need to set
proper crews along the streets to
stop all speeders, not just one here
and there. If a hidden radar was
placed in the Dunbarton school-
yard, three officers were placed in
the school parking lot, if all cars
exceeding the speed limit by more
than 10 km/h were deviated into
the schoolyard and held there until
ticketed (which given the number
of speeders might be as much as
half an hour) and if such enforce-
ment was done randomly but reg-
ularly, the number of speeders in
Pickering would drop right down.
The amount collected if such
action had been ongoing during
the 25 minutes Mr. Brake was in
my driveway would have resulted
in over $10,000 in revenue accord-
ing to a police officer I spoke with.
More then enough to pay for the
radar and the four or five officers
who operate it.

Garbage: We in Durham can’t live
with it but no other site wants to live
with it either.
That’s the reality we face in 2001
as the clock counts down on zero hour
for Durham Region - Dec. 31, 2002.
Barring an unforseen and unexpected
extension, there have already been
several, the Keele Valley landfill site
which currently takes in nearly all of
Durham’s garbage will be closed on
that date. And, between now and then
we’ll have to find somewhere else to
put it.
That somewhere else appeared to
be the Adams Mine Site, some 700
kilometres to the north, adjacent to the
mining town of Kirkland Lake. Toron-
to and Durham councils had voted to
accept a deal to send our garbage to
the abandoned Adams Mine for the
next 20 years, buying time for new re-
cycling technologies and more mod-
ern solutions to dumping trash. But at
the last minute, the consortium which
would ship the garbage refused to
agree to terms and the deal was off.
It may still be on if new items in
the contract can be settled on. But, as-
suming Adams is off, what can we do?
We’ll be looking at all aspects of
garbage disposal over the next 12
months with today’s kick-off feature
investigating the political history of
trash in Durham Region.
As noted in today’s story, there is
no other issue which brings out the
NIMBY in people and politicians like
garbage.
It’s the ultimate not-in-my-back-
yard battle, and who can blame those
who live near proposed landfills from
fighting against them? Dumps lower
property values, affect quality of life
and raise fears about the future safety
of drinking water. Not a pretty picture.
There are no plans now or in the
future to establish a landfill in
Durham and it’s clear there won’t be
many takers in other parts of Ontario
for our trash. What alternatives re-
main?
We can look to other municipalities
in Canada and in Europe where waste
diversion and recycling programs
have drastically reduced the amount
of garbage produced. Our own target
in Durham is to drive recycling to at
least 50 per cent of all waste produced
by 2007 (it’s currently about 25 per
cent). That’s still well below rates of
over 75 per cent in Halifax-Dartmouth
and Edmonton right now. Clearly, we
have a long way to go in a short time.
The old dump is a thing of the past.
To help the environment and ultimate-
ly ourselves, we have to change our
ways. After all, the clock is ticking.
EDITORIAL
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
E-mail your comments on this opin-
ion to steve.houston@durhamnews.net.
Submissions that include a first and last
name, as well as the city of residence,
will be considered for publication.
Recently, an old friend in the On-
tario Legislature, deputy Speaker
Tony Martin, took off the robes of of-
fice, laid them gently on the Speak-
er’s chair and resigned on the spot
over the issue of poverty in Ontario.
The Office of the Speaker is not
normally the place to expect political
action given the neutrality expected
of the position. Some pundits
claimed Mr. Martin’s actions to be a
blatant disrespect of the office he was
sworn to uphold. Knowing Tony
Martin as I do, the inaction by this
government over poverty obviously
moved him enough to do the unthink-
able.
No matter how you view Mr. Mar-
tin’s behaviour, people of all political
stripes have to be concerned about
poverty, and in particular child
poverty, as it is in Ontario now. At a
time when Ontario’s finance minister
forks over $200 cheques to those
who are not in any great need, there
seems little desire of the majority to
stop to think about child poverty in
Ontario at all.
If you slow down enough to look
into the villages, towns and cities,
just slow enough so they come into
focus rather than rush by in a blur, we
see many people existing below the
poverty level in our society. Just who
are these people? They are the folks
who are never going to go to univer-
sity or college, never going to com-
plete an apprenticeship program,
never going to be trained for much
more than they are doing now, in
spite of the hype to the contrary.
These are the people literally stuck in
so-called ‘dead-end’ jobs.
Some of these folks are the hands-
on women who support their own
family while caring for the children
of others. Some make the beds for
our elderly parents, others flip burg-
ers, clean offices at night or are the
clerks in stores — all doing the
thankless tasks that keep our econo-
my on track. These are our mini-
mum-wage people.
Regardless of the tasks they do,
they all have rent or mortgage pay-
ments to make, food and clothing to
buy, or if lucky enough, the upkeep
on a car and all of the other things all
of us pay for every day. Like the rest
of us they too need time and money
for a little rest and recreation.
So until we are willing to pay, not
minimum wages, but a living wage to
everyone regardless of what she or he
may do, the rest of us shouldn’t be
too surprised to know poverty, real
poverty will continue to cause some
politicians and perhaps others, to do
unusual things.
Symbolism of resignation lost on most
Slow down and look — poverty is all around us

New century calls for
innovative trash solutions
Durham residents must radically reduce,
reuse and recycle
NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 5, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P
This is the first in a series of
monthly features covering waste
management issues in Durham past,
present and future. In this story, we
look at the history of waste manage-
ment in the region.
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
From the fight to close Brock
West to the debate over Kirkland
Lake, Regional councillors have
been talking trash for years.
And, as Durham embarks on the
new millennium, councillors are fac-
ing the garbage dilemma once again
as they contemplate where to send
the Region’s rubbish.
“There’s been a garbage crisis for
15 years in Durham Region,” said
Pickering Councillor and works
committee chairman Rick Johnson.
“No one really knew it because
we’ve been piggybacking with
Toronto.”
But, the Region may be going it
alone in the near future.
The Toronto-owned Keele Valley
landfill site in Vaughan, where
Durham currently sends about 85
per cent of its trash, is slated to close
at the end of 2002 after numerous
extensions to previous deadlines.
The Region’s plan to join Toron-
to in shipping its garbage north to
the Adams Mine site in the northern
Ontario municipality of Kirkland
Lake, which has been in the works
for the past decade, has been all but
derailed. That means Durham needs
to find somewhere to put the approx-
imately 150,000 tonnes of trash it
sends to landfill sites each year. And
soon. Coun. Johnson reports the Re-
gion is preparing to issue a request
for proposal this month in an attempt
to get that process under way. But,
that doesn’t mean a new landfill site
will open anywhere within the Re-
gion’s boundaries.
“Politically a landfill in Durham
is unacceptable,” he said, noting the
Region won’t support any new land-
fill sites here.
“Durham Region used to have a
series of landfills, probably every
municipality has its own landfill,”
Coun. Johnson reported, adding he
estimates somewhere between 20 to
25 landfills have been closed down
in Durham over the years.
However, the most controversial
battles have undoubtedly been
fought in Pickering as the munici-
pality lobbied for the closure of
Brock West and fought the creation
of two nearby mega-dumps known
as the ‘P1’and ‘EE11’sites.
Located on the Third Concession
just west of Brock Road, the Brock
West dump was in the rural area of
Pickering when it opened in 1975.
However, with the growth that’s oc-
curred in Pickering over the years,
the dump site is now less than 500
metres from a major residential sub-
division and less than three kilome-
tres from the centre of the city.
“The landfill was supposed to be
open for five years, and with its ex-
perimental liner, was not expected to
have problems. However, because of
political decisions and poor plan-
ning, the landfill (was) open for al-
most 20 years and (was) seriously
leaking,” stated Dr. Rosalie Bertell
of the International Institute of Con-
cern for Public Health in a 1995 re-
port examining the health impacts of
the dump on the surrounding com-
munity.
Concerns about the landfill cen-
tred around a horrendous smell com-
ing from the site. Then there were
complaints about illegal dumping
and things such as sewage sludge
being brought in. In later years the
disputes were with overfilling of the
site, alleged leachate contamina-
tion of adjacent lands and
Duffins Creek, and repeated de-
lays in the promised closure of
the dump.
“The capacity was to be half
of what it ended up being,” said
David Steele, chairman of Pick-
ering Ajax Citizens Together
(PACT) for the Environment,
which was formed in the mid-
1980s to prevent the extension of
the Brock West site.
“It always seemed provincial
governments wanted to put land-
fill sites in Ajax and Pickering,”
Mr. Steele said.
So, PACT, which maintains
Durham’s garbage problem
should be solved locally, orga-
nized a board of directors to op-
pose any new landfills in west
Durham and to encourage recy-
cling and composting.
“In reality PACT was about
15 years ahead of the politi-
cians,” Mr. Steele said, recalling
his first introduction to the group
at a public meeting about Toron-
to’s desire to create a landfill on a
250-acre parcel of land that City
owns in Ajax known as Brock
South. “PACT asked for a full public
environmental assessment with in-
tervener funding,” he recalled,
adding “we knew (the proposal)
wouldn’t pass.”
However, it wasn’t long until the
focus was on Pickering once again
as the search continued for a new
landfill for Metro and Durham. With
the formation of the Solid Waste In-
terim Steering Committee in March
1989, a proposal emerged for the P1
dump just west of Whitevale. Even
though Pickering was against the
dump, then-Regional chairman Gary
Herrema pursued the site.
In fact, a deal was struck between
Metro and Durham in May 1990 that
would have allowed Metro to dump
4.6-million tonnes of garbage at the
site between 1992 and 1996 had it
not been lifted from the table when
the Liberals were defeated by the
New Democratic Party (NDP) in
the 1990 provincial election.
Then in 1992, the NDP formed
the Interim Waste Authority (IWA)
under the Waste Management Act
in an attempt to find three landfill
sites, one for Durham, one for
York and Toronto and another for
Peel.
“We knew when the IWA was
formed we were in trouble,” Mr.
Steele said, explaining the IWA
went through a site selection
process and eventually centred on
the EE11 site next to Brock West.
“We fought EE11 and all the
sites in Pickering they’d chosen
through the environmental hear-
ings,” he said, recalling the group
gathered more than 13,000 signa-
tures from local citizens who
urged politicians to “dump the
dump”.
Following the election of the
Conservatives in June 1995, the
Province decided to disband the
IWA and scrap the EE11 mega-
dump proposed for north Picker-
ing.
“It would have been a total dis-
aster (had a new mega-dump been
allowed to open in Pickering),” Mr.
Steele said. “We would have been
the garbage capital of Ontario.”
Meanwhile, the decision to close
Brock West wasn’t made until April
1996 when an out-of-court settle-
ment was reached between Picker-
ing and Metro Toronto. Pickering
launched a lawsuit against Metro in
October 1994 to get the site shut
down. The settlement led to the clo-
sure of Brock West at the end of No-
vember 1996 to all regular garbage.
But as part of the settlement, Metro
was permitted to transfer into Brock
West the contents of its long-closed
Brock North landfill located east of
Brock Road near Fifth Concession
Road. That site was used as a tem-
porary facility for Toronto’s trash
during a 1970s garbage strike in that
city, Coun. Johnson reported, noting
about 180,000 tonnes of trash was
dumped there.
The Brock West landfill was fi-
nally closed March 26, 1997 after
more than 10 years of bickering be-
tween Pickering and Metro over the
management and size of the dump.
When Brock West closed,
Durham entered an agreement with
Toronto to send much of its trash to
Keele Valley.
Peter Watson, Durham’s waste
reduction manager,reports that facil-
ity will close on Dec. 31, 2002
which means the Region needs to
find somewhere to put its garbage
while working on waste diversion
initiatives. Some of the options open
to the Region are outlined in
Durham’s Long Term Waste Man-
agement Strategy, which was ap-
proved in principle by Regional
council in December 1999.
“The (plan) is a road map to give
members of staff and members of
committee the road along which we
will travel to achieve our goal,” Mr.
Watson said. “The number one pri-
ority is to secure disposal capacity
for the residential waste for January
2003.”
He added,“We need to ensure the
70 to 75 per cent of the total waste
stream currently going to landfill
sites continues to go somewhere.”
While the Adams Mine site ap-
pears to be off the table, Mr. Watson
pointed out Regional council ap-
proved a recommendation to negoti-
ate with Rail Cycle North for long-
term waste disposal.
“The prime site was Adams
Mine, but there are alternate sites in
that proposal,” he added, noting the
Region will explore all available op-
tions through the upcoming request
for proposal process.
As for waste diversion initiatives,
Mr. Watson reported “there are a
number of options we’re exploring
right now (regarding recycling)... the
Blue Box program is an extremely
popular recycling program in the
Region.
“I’m thrilled the residents of the
Region have embraced recycling so
conscientiously... they’re doing an
excellent job.”
Mr. Watson added the fact that
more and more residents are begin-
ning to ask what else they can do to
cut down on solid waste bodes well
for the Region’s goal to divert at
least 50 per cent of its residential
waste from landfills by 2007.
Coun. Johnson is confident
Durham will not only reach that goal
but will surpass it. He believes the
Region will develop new initiatives
within the next five to seven years
“that will make landfills look archa-
ic”.

New year in Durham Region gets off to violent start
Bar brawl, stabbing, home invasion mar some of the Dec. 31 celebrations
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
The new year began on a bloody
note in Durham Region with a vicious
beating, a stabbing and a home inva-
sion sparked by disputes over a game
and a girl, police say.
Durham Regional Police said a 33-
year-old man was attacked in an Os-
hawa bar shortly after midnight Tues-
day.
The incident happened after the
victim got into an argument with an-
other man while playing pool at the
Tartan Tavern, at 555 Rossland Rd. E.,
police said.
“The victim was apparently fol-
lowed into the washroom. While he
was at the urinal, an unknown as-
sailant grabbed his head from behind
and smashed his face into the wall,”
said spokesman Sergeant Jim Grimley.
The victim reportedly blacked out,
said the officer. When he regained
consciousness, the man, who was
bleeding profusely
from a head injury,
confronted his sus-
pected attacker at a
table near the bar, he
said. The suspect
was seated with
three other men and
a woman.
Bar witnesses
told police the vic-
tim was then
knocked to the floor
by the suspect and
then repeatedly
“punched and
kicked and stomped
on,” Sgt. Grimley
said.
He said the assault was stopped by
the suspect’s friends and the group
fled the bar in a dark Honda hatch-
back.
The victim was taken to hospital
with a possible broken nose, swollen
eye and cuts and gashes to his head.
Sgt. Grimley said the suspect was
described as white with olive com-
plexion, 5-foot-10, with a stocky build
and short dark hair. He is believed to
have an Italian accent and was wearing
black jeans and a black leather jacket.
In another incident, police said a
20-year-old Ajax man was stabbed in
the upper leg near the groin during a
fight at an Oshawa New Year’s Eve
house party on Malaga Road.
“The girlfriend of the (stabbing)
suspect is the ex-girlfriend of the vic-
tim, which we believe may have had
something to do with the altercation,”
Sgt. Grimley said.
He said the pair got into a fight dur-
ing which the victim was knifed. The
attacker fled the residence prior to of-
ficers arriving and the victim was
taken to Lakeridge Health Oshawa
with a “severe puncture wound,” he
said. The man, who suffered a large
amount of blood loss, was transferred
to St. Michael’s Hospital, Sgt. Grim-
ley said. His condition was not be-
lieved to be life-threatening.
Police believe the stabbing is relat-
ed to a terrifying home invasion in
Whitby, which occurred the next
night.
Four masked men armed with a
stun gun and a handgun forced their
way into a Nichol Avenue home at 7
p.m. Tuesday and bound two women
and three men with duct tape.
The thugs said they were looking
for one woman’s son - a suspect in the
earlier stabbing - and the victims
were threatened with a broken
liquor bottle, police said.
Inspector Greg Reid, of the
Whitby community police sta-
tion, said the bandits took a large
quantity of jewellery and fled.
One of the occupants of the home
managed to free himself and help
the others and police were called.
An 18-year-old man was later
arrested at an Oshawa residence
in connection with the New
Year’s stabbing.
Wallace Groves, of no fixed
address, faces charges of aggra-
vated assault, assault with a
weapon and breach of probation.
The investigation into the
home invasion continues.

BILLBOARD
JAN. 5, 2001
York U, Durham College nurse new deal
Durham College and York
University will collaborate on a
bachelor of science in nursing
(B.Sc.N) program beginning
this September,
Durham College recently
announced the agreement be-
tween the two institutions. It
will see nursing students spend
their first two years at the Os-
hawa college and their last two
at York’s campus in North
York.
“The collaborative bac-
calaureate program provides
students with the strong clini-
cal skills for which college
nursing programs have long
been recognized, plus the em-
phasis on theory and research
which are strengths of a
B.Sc.N,” stated Micki Walters,
dean of the schools of health
and human studies at Durham
College, in a press release.
The release notes the
Province last spring announced
changes to educational require-
ments for nurses. Starting in
2005, a B.Sc.N will be the min-
imum entry-level requirement
for Ontario nurses. At present,
nurses must have either a
B.Sc.N or a college nursing
diploma.
Graduates of the college’s
three-year nursing diploma
program can enhance their cre-
dentials by pursuing a post-
diploma B.Sc.N through uni-
versities such as York, Ryerson,
Laurentian and Athabasca.

Half of all Canadian
homeowners plan to reno-
vate their homes within the
next year. And more and
more homeowners across
Canada are turning to
Handyman Connection to
solve a wide variety of repair
and remodeling needs.
Our coast-to-coast ren-
ovation service pays atten-
tion to your small-to-medi-
um projects around the
home because we known
they’re important to you.
Whether it’s planning a door,
installing a new faucet or
renovating the entire bath-
room, our talented team of
retired craftsman and other
experts offer you a consistent
and reliable, high quality
solution.
Handyman Connection
consists of a team of talented
craftspeople - retired crafts-
men and other experts who
are ready to tackle small to
medium sized home repairs
or renovations at consider-
able savings.
“All our craftspeople
have a minimum ten years
experience and many people
have expertise in many
crafts,” says Alex Lloy,
owner of Handyman
Connection. “It saves our
customers time and money if
one person can do multiple
jobs.”
Handyman Connection
takes on all types of home
repairs and remodeling jobs,
including jobs considered
too small by some of the
larger companies. At
Handyman Connection, you
won’t find a slew of compa-
ny trucks or employees with
matching uniforms. The
savings on these kinds of
overhead expenses are
passed on directly to cus-
tomers.
Whatever type of work
you require carpentry, elec-
trical, plumbing, painting,
kitchen or bathroom renova-
tions, drywall or general
handyman jobs, Handyman
Connection is the place to
call for fast, free and no-
obligation quote.
With Handyman
Connection you’re never
locked into an unfamiliar
brand of fixtures or the
choice of poor quality prod-
ucts because you select your
own materials for the pro-
ject. And because you’re
purchasing the materials
separately, you avoid materi-
al mark-ups and surcharges
common throughout the ren-
ovation industry. Shop for

Handyman Connection a
call to install your savings.
If you need help in
itemizing exactly what you
need, our craftsman are
happy to coach you in prod-
uct options, assist you in the
selection of materials and
help in getting the materials
home. It’s part of the job and
a big part of our service.
Every Handyman
Connection project begins
with a no-obligation esti-
mate appointment. And
because our estimates are
free, you’re already saving
service charges other con-
tractors charge. We will
arrange for you to meet with
a craftsman specially select-
ed for your project. He pre-
pares a written labour esti-
mate in your home and
should it be acceptable to
you, our craftsman is
pleased to start the project
immediately. You pay only
when the job is finished and
only when you’re complete-
ly satisfied with the work.

year.

Need some good ideas for decorating the home? Decorating does
not have to be a tricky ordeal. There are resources for
homeowner's who need a little help in the decorating
department. Learn some simple strategies by following these
tips, courtesy of "Mary Emmerling's Quick Decorating"
(Clarkson Potter), by Jill A. Kirchner.
1. Instead of stripping and refinishing furniture that is not high
quality. It's much easier to paint it instead.
2. Chairs can be used for much more than seating; use them as
side tables to stack books on or as an impromptu easel for
artwork.
3. An old ladder can become a display space or narrow shelving.
4. Lamps can be created from almost any sturdy base- a salvaged
baluster, cast-iron urn, large wooden candlestick, country
birdhouse or even a china teapot.
5. If your rugs are too short or small for a room, try zigzagging
several across the floor.
6. Attractive door stops are hard to find, consider large shells,
cowboy boots or a sand-filled watering can.
7. Tuck vintage tablecloths between the mattress and box spring
to create a dust ruffle.

Soderbergh’s Traffic rolls into Pickering cinemas tonight
TRAFFIC
Starring Michael Douglas, Salma
Hayek, Erika Christensen, Dennis
Quaid, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Directed by Steven Soderbergh.
A patchwork of stories that evokes
the high-stakes, high-risk world of the
drug trade, as seen through a series of
inter-related stories. Some are highly
personal, some are filled with intrigue
and danger.
A Mexican policeman finds him-
self caught in a web of corruption; a
pair of undercover DEA agents work
in the sordid and dangerous world of
San Diego dealers; a wealthy drug
baron living in upscale, suburban
America is arrested and learns
how quickly his unknowing and
pampered wife takes over his
business; and the U.S. Presi-
dent’s new anti-drug czar, an
Ohio State Supreme Court Jus-
tice, must deal with his increas-
ingly drug-addicted teenage
daughter.

THRU
This year we decided to rent the
banquet hall at our church for our
staff Christmas party since more than
half our staff attend there. The
banquet hall at Carruthers Creek
Community Church is absolutely
beautiful with majestic floor to ceiling
windows, expansive carpeting and a
mahogany hardwood dance floor in
the centre.
Next we hired a unique company
called “Everlasting Impressions” who
come in and turned the hall into a
winter wonderland with white
Christmas trees, thousands of
twinkling mini-lights, hanging
ornaments and lots of Christmas
garland. A sound system was installed
as well as a 100 inch big screen
projection system. As our staff
entered the hall through an archway,
covered with Christmas Ivy and
sparkling mini-lights, there were
many ooohs and aaahs.
Our staff were treated to shrimp, a
variety of finger foods and a special 6
foot sub delivered from the Subway at
Bayly and Westney. They feasted on
fresh baked dinner rolls, meatballs
and Lasagna and then a variety of
Dairy Queen candy cakes made
especially for the occasion.
While eating we were treated to
some old video clips from our
security cameras when the store first
opened in 1995. I looked a lot
younger and a lot thinner then! Of
course many staff didn’t forget to
remind me of that very fact! We also
viewed all the new DQ commercials
that will be on TV in 2001 along with
videos from past staff outings and
Christmas parties.
We had many spot dances for our
staff and hundreds of dollars worth of
gift certificates from the Music World
in the Pickering Town Center and the
Lick’s store right beside us were
given out as prizes.
But for me the best part was the
contest for the best dressed male and
female. The girls looked so good,
some in dresses and some in long
dresses.The guys were equally
impressive in their jacket and pants
and some in suits. The staff were
allowed to bring dates or a friend and
all of them got their pictures taken
inside the lighted archway. Each staff
member received a copy of their
picture and the pictures turned out
great!
This same staff will be ready to
serve you in January and offer you
our Cheeseburger Lovers Special for
the whole month. Buy two single
Cheeseburgers for 2.99 or 2 double
cheeseburgers for 3.99. What a deal!

Into the great unknown
Social housing transfer brings questions for Region
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
Durham Region is facing yet another un-
known as it begins the new year thanks to
the transfer of social housing from the
Province on New Year’s Day, regional offi-
cials say.
The provincial government handed over
the ownership and responsibility for ad-
ministering the social housing program to
municipalities on Jan. 1. But, the financial
impact of that transfer on Durham Region
is still unknown.
The Region has been paying for social
housing since 1998. So, in that respect
there is no immediate or additional finan-
cial implications, reports Shirley Van
Steen, Durham’s social housing director.
However, she says the “great unknown
is what the longer-term capital costs will
be”.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
says although Durham assumed the owner-
ship of approximately 1,600 housing units
on New Year’s Day, the Region hasn’t had
the opportunity yet to conduct an audit of
the housing stock.
“One would hope they’ll be in as good a
shape as the Durham Region non-profit
housing stock... so the costs of upgrading
won’t be too much,” he said, adding, “I
couldn’t honestly tell you right now (what
the costs might be).”
But, despite the potential costs associat-
ed with the transfer, Mr. Anderson is confi-
dent Durham is up for the challenge.
“We’ll manage it as well as we’ve man-
aged the other items they’ve downloaded to
us,” he said in a recent interview.
He noted when the land ambulance ser-
vice was transferred from the Province to
municipalities Jan. 1, 2000 there were no
interruptions in service. In fact, he believes
the service has improved.
“I think we’ll handle the housing... we
just don’t know the final numbers yet,” he
said.
Under Bill 128, ‘The Social Housing
Reform Act’, all of the public housing in
Ontario, which has always been run by the
Province, became the property and the re-
sponsibility of area municipalities on Jan.
1.
“The Ontario government believes so-
cial housing is best administered by local
governments who are closest to the people
they serve and who best understand the
needs of their communities,” Tony
Clement, minister of municipal affairs and
housing, stated in the government’s ‘Guide
to Social Housing Reform’.
The social housing portfolio in Ontario
consists of 84,000 units of public housing,
previously owned by the Ontario Housing
Corporation; 156,000 units owned by non-
profit corporations and co-operative hous-
ing associations; and 21,000 tenants in pri-
vately owned buildings assisted through
rent-supplement contracts with landlords.
Ms. Van Steen, who was hired as
Durham’s director of housing services in
October, said the Region has issued a re-
quest for proposal (RFP) to hire a consul-
tant to review the buildings being handed
over in the first phase of the transfer.
In that phase, the Durham Regional
Housing Authority (DRHA), which was
previously owned by the Ontario Housing
Corporation and provides rent-geared-to-
income housing, will be transferred to the
Region.
The authority is being renamed the
Durham Regional Local Housing Corpora-
tion and Durham is assuming the owner-
ship of the real estate, which includes 1,276
social housing units and 452 private market
rent supplement units.
She reports the ownership of the non-
profit and co-operative housing units in
Durham will be transferred from the
Province to the Region in Phase 2 of the
transfer, which is to take place over the
next 18 months.
So, when the transfer is complete,
Durham will be responsible for more than
6,400 housing units, she said, noting the
audit of the housing stock is expected to be
completed in March.
And, as for the financial impact, Ms.
Van Steen is hopeful there may be savings
because the corporate overhead charged by
the Ontario Housing Corporation to local
housing authorities will be eliminated.
Meanwhile, according to a staff report,
the Region is still awaiting a response from
the Province regarding Durham’s applica-
tion for $930,000 in transition funding, ap-
proximately $400,000 of which is intended
to cover the technical audits of the social
housing stock.
But, Mr. Anderson said, “The Province
hasn’t been one to look favourably on tran-
sition costs. I wouldn’t expect to see much
from them.”
January is Crime Stoppers month
BY SERGEANT KEVIN SLANEY
Durham Region Crime Stoppers
January is Crime Stoppers month in
Canada, and as such, a time to reflect on the
successful program that has led to thousands
of arrests in Durham Region alone.
This successful crime-solving partner-
ship is comprised of the public, media and
police. Crime Stoppers dates back to the
tragic 1976 shooting death of a 17-year-old
gas station attendant in Albuquerque, N.M.
Anonymous information led to the arrest of
the murderers within a few days of a media-
sponsored crime re-enactment.
Since then, Crime Stoppers has evolved
into an internationally respected crime-
fighting program responsible for the arrest
of over 250,000 criminals and recovery of
$4.5 billion in stolen property and seized
narcotics.
Presently, there are more than 1,000
Crime Stoppers partnerships worldwide.
Forty of Canada’s 100 programs are in On-
tario.
In Durham, Crime Stoppers has made a
significant contribution in the fight against
crime. Since its inception in 1986, the local
Crime Stoppers has received more than
10,000 telephone calls. It has been responsi-
ble for the arrest of over 2,100 criminals,
4,772 charges being laid and the recovery of
over $16.5 million in stolen property and
seized narcotics.
Crime Stoppers works when we all do
our part to stop crime. It’s your program.
Why not use it?
Crime Stoppers will pay a cash reward of
up to $1,000 for any information of criminal
activity that leads to an arrest. Callers never
have to give their name or testify in court
and Crime Stoppers does not use call dis-
play.
❑ ❑ ❑
Sgt. Kevin Slaney is the police co-ordinator
of the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers
program.

PICKERING —The
Pickering Boyer Pontiac
Panthers posted a .500
record during tournament
action over the Christmas
holidays, but it wasn’t
enough to vault the team
into the playoff round.
Pickering was one of 28
teams — most from the
OHA Ontario Provincial
Junior ‘A’ Hockey League
— to compete at the 2000
Newmarket Junior ‘A’
Showcase Tournament Dec.
27 to 30. The tournament
offered Ontario Hockey
League and U.S. college
scouts a chance to see the
league’s best teams and
players in action.
After opening the event
with a loss and a win in
their first two games, the
Panthers needed a win over
the Mississauga Chargers
in the third game to ad-
vance to the playoff round.
With the score tied 4-4 late
in the game, the Panthers
pulled their goaltender in
an all-out attempt to go for
the win. The plan, however,
backfired as Mississauga
scored into the empty net.
Pickering replied to tie the
game 5-5 with four seconds
remaining.
No scoring information
was available.
Pickering opened the
tournament with a 6-4 loss
to the Lindsay Muskies, the
first-place team in the
league’s Eastern Confer-
ence. Trailing for most of
the contest, the Panthers re-
bounded to tie the game
with 1:06 remaining in the
second period on a goal by
Pat O’Halloran from Matt
Christie and Don Johnson.
Lindsay, however, put the
game away by scoring two
unanswered markers in the
final frame.
Also scoring for Picker-
ing were Darryl Lloyd,
Kyle Aitken and Christie.
Also assisting were Rob
Colangelo with two, Colin
Jennings, Christie and Gar-
ret Winder.
The Pickering juniors
rebounded to trounce the
Durham Huskies 9-1 in the
second game. The Pan-
thers’ special teams were
the story of the game, as
they struck for three short-
handed goals and two
power-play markers.
Scoring were Winder
with the hat trick, Colange-
lo with two, and Jennings,
Mike Cuzzolino, Dan
Schofield and John Busce-
ma. Assisting were Christie
with three, Doug Carr,
Schofield, Johnson and
Winder each with two,
Pavlovski, Alex Greig,
Brent Chandler, Lloyd,
Jason Ricupero and Busce-
ma with one apiece.
The Pickering juniors
play three games this
weekend, hosting the Auro-
ra Tigers at the Pickering
Recreation Complex
tonight (Friday) at 7:30
p.m.
On Saturday, the Picker-
ing juniors are in Thornhill
to face the Rattlers.
On Sunday, the Panthers
travel to Huntsville to meet
the Wildcats.

Panthers top Cedar
Hill at select tourney
PICKERING —The
Pickering Panthers minor
atom select hockey team
downed Don Mills to win
the Cedar Hill Minor Atom
Select Hockey Tournament
held in Scarborough Dec.
26 to 28.
Pickering won all three
of its games to be declared
the grand champions in the
event’s 25th year.
In the final, Pickering
skated past Don Mills 6-2,
defeating a squad that had
won its two previous
games with decisive
shutouts. The Pickering
players were not intimidat-
ed, however, and notched
three goals before Don
Mills responded. The Pan-
thers played well both of-
fensively and defensively
throughout the game.
Scoring for Pickering
were Taylor Robson and
Galen Sleeth, each with
two, and Richard Doherty
and Tyler McDonald with
one each. Brian Forrester,
who enjoyed a stellar tour-
nament on defence, record-
ed three assists, while
Jesse Metzger earned two
assists. McDonald, Rob
Fraser and Kyle Kinsman
each had a helper as well.
Nick Accetone was the
game’s most valuable play-
er.
Pickering completely
dominated its first contest
en route to an 8-1 victory
over Malvern. Goal scorers
were Robson and Sleeth,
the game’s MVP, with two
apiece, and Fraser, Daniel
Vanderstarren, Zach
MacLennan and Metzger
with one each. Helping
with two assists was
Richard Doherty, while
singles went to Fraser, Mc-
Donald, Robson, Metzger,
Sleeth, Accetone, Matt
Fowler and Kevin Mont-
gomery.
Pickering had its hands
full against a fast-skating
Ajax team in Game 2. Al-
though they eventually
won 5-4, the Panthers
trailed 3-2 at the end of the
second period. Ajax never
gave up and buzzed around
the Pickering net in the last
30 seconds trying to get the
tying goal.
Scoring for Pickering
were Sleeth and Eric
Bartholomew, the game’s
MVP, with two each. Fras-
er added the other. For-
rester assisted on three
goals, Robson contributed
two more, and Kinsman
and McDonald each had
one.
The Pickering defence
played a significant part in
all three victories, includ-
ing the play of Nigel Flem-
ing, Ryan Patrick and An-
drew Nauth.
Pickering goaltenders
Andrew LeClair and
Stephane Hamade were
outstanding throughout the
tournament.

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.
With All Our Love Honey

In loving memory of
❧CHRISTINE LUSTY ❧
who passed away January 5, 2000
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.
Lovingly remembered,
Sean

Be careful out there
Take steps to get the most
out of your winter fun
One of the best things you can do for
yourself is to get out and enjoy the sea-
son with some exercise in the fresh,
clean air of Durham Region. It’s good
for your mind, body and soul, especially
if it means spending some time with
those you care about. Thirty minutes of
moderate daily activity, accumulated in
10-minute intervals four times a week
are all that’s needed to maintain your
health. But as with any other time of
year, safety is a factor. The following are
some tips to consider, courtesy of
Tourism Durham:
• Walk, hike, ski or skate with others;
• Tell people where you are going,the
route you are taking and how long you
will be away;
• Carry a light fanny pack or back-
pack for identification, snacks and
drinks;
• Stretch prior to activity to help avoid
injury;
• Drink fluids while active;
• Wear comfortable, waterproof
footwear;
• In winter be especially aware of the
wind chill factor;
• Avoid icy surfaces and be active in
places where you are shielded from the
wind;
• When choosing clothing, consider
visibility, comfort and layering;
• Never surprise animals living in the
wild;
• Before starting a new physical activ-
ity, consult a physician;
• Skate, ice-fish, walk or snowmobile
on ice you are sure is thick enough to be
safe;
• Wear sunglasses with UVA and
UVB protection; and
• Use sunscreen and lip balm with
SPF 15 or higher that offers UVA and
UVB protection for your face.
FROSTBITE
Frostbite is the freezing of the skin
and/or the tissues under the skin. The flu-
ids in the body tissues and cellular
spaces freeze and crystallize. This can
cause damage to the blood vessels and
result in blood clotting and lack of oxy-
gen to the affected area.
Serious cases of frostbite can result in
damage to tissue so extreme amputation
is required. Hands, feet, ears, nose and
the face are most vulnerable to frostbite.
And if conditions are cold with a high
wind chill factor, or, if the temperature is
bitterly cold, even brief exposure of
uncovered body parts (for example, the
ears) may actually result in frostbite in
just minutes.
To prevent frostbite, wear proper
clothing for winter weather that insulates
from the cold,lets perspiration evaporate
and provides protection against wind,
rain and snow. Coverings for the head
and neck are important: hats, hoods,
scarves,earmuffs and face masks all pro-
vide good protection.
Also protect your feet and toes. Wear
two pairs of socks — wool is best,or cot-
ton socks with a pair of wool on top.
Wear well-fitted boots, high enough to
cover the ankles.
Hand coverings are vital. Mittens are
warmer than gloves, but may limit what
you can do with your fingers. Wear light-
weight gloves under mittens so you’ll
still have protection if you need to take
off your mittens to use your fingers.
The signs and symptoms of frostbite
include a blanching or whitening of the
skin in mild cases. In severe cases, the
frostbitten skin will appear waxy-look-
ing with a white,greyish-yellow or grey-
ish-blue colour. The affected part will
have no feeling (numbness) and blisters
may be present. The tissue will feel
frozen or “wooden”.
This indicates a very serious condi-
tion.
Other symptoms indicating frostbite
are swelling, itching, burning and deep
pain as the area is warmed.
If you think you may have frostbite,
even if it is a mild case, seek profession-
al medical help. It is highly recommend-
ed a medical professional be consulted.
The following list will provide some
guidelines to decrease the chance that
you suffer further injury:
• Don’t use dry heat (sun lamp, radi-
ator, heating pad, etc.) to thaw the
injured area;
• Don’t thaw the injury in melted ice;
• Don’t rub the area with snow; and
• Don’t use alcohol, nicotine or other
drugs that may affect blood flow.
HYPOTHERMIA
Hypothermia is a particularly danger-
ous condition that can lead to death. It
develops when a person becomes so cold
his or her body is unable to warm up and
the body’s natural defences against cool-
ing start to fail. The chilling conditions
of hypothermia set in when the body
loses heat faster than it retains heat.
Contact with water can bring hypother-
mia on even faster because water cools
body temperature 25 to 30 times faster
than air. If someone is drenched from
wet snow, rain or is perspiring heavily,
they will lose body heat faster than they
would under dry conditions.
So, if you plan to spend time outside
this winter, dress appropriately. Proper
winter dressing includes layering cloth-
ing made from natural fibres like silk,
cotton and wool to prevent excess per-
spiration. The outer layers should be
made of material to keep dry, including
gloves, sturdy waterproof boots and
headgear. About half of a body’s heat
escapes through the head, so wearing a
hat can slow down that process.
Symptoms of hypothermia include:
uncontrollable shivering, cool skin, rigid
muscles, weak pulse, a slow reaction
time and slurred speech.
Quick treatment of hypothermia is
vital. The following are actions to be
taken and avoided:
• Exercise or keep moving to stay
warm if unable to get to a warm place;
• Remove wet clothing as soon as
possible and replace with dry blankets or
clothing;
• Give the victim warm beverages;
• Don’t use direct heat or hot water to
warm the victim; and
• Don’t massage the skin.
