Parish appointed mayor of Ajax
by John Cooper
Ajax council's Dec. 11 meeting was a night of fears, tears,
cheers and a mayoral appointment by peers.
By night's end, the town had a new mayor in former regional
councillor Steve Parish (carrying on a family tradition — his
father Bill is a former mayor of the town), a new regional
councillor in Jim McMaster, and a by-election call for March
1996.
First the fears: of election overspending, provincial cutbacks of
more than $500,000 and the swallowing up of Ajax by the
Greater Toronto Area.
Then tears: from regional councillor Roger Anderson, who
openly coveted the mayor's chair but who said he set ambition
aside in the interests of a "united council" by nominating Parish
for mayor.
And finally cheers: for Parish, elected by a 4-2 vote of council.
for Anderson, and for the new mayor's replacement at regional
council. McMaster, formerly the Ward 3 councillor.
The sic council members were hoping to quickly fill the seat
left vacant by Jim Witty, who moved on to become Chair of
Durham Region following the death of Gary Herrema, through a
resolution to appoint a new mayor from within. Before they could
do that, they had to nut a gamut of comments from citizens either
supportive of the appointment resolution or calling for the
"openly democratic" process of an election. An election would
cost about $40.000, councillors said.
Those were the options, according to town clerk Joe Tiemay:
either appoint a new mayor and avoid an election or run the risk
of holding (potentially) three elections: one for mayor, one for a
regional council seat (should one of the two frontrunners,
regional councillors Parish and Anderson, have won) and one for
a vacant local council seat, should a local councillor move up to a
regional seat.
Several residents made their feelings plainly known.
"Council should suppon the resolution for appointment," said
Mark Bell. "In my opinion, spending 540.000 would not be in the
interests of the town at this time. The position of mayor would
best be served by someone already on council."
Oft
Lynn Thompson disagreed. "Even if you do appoint a mayor
and regional councillor you still must elect a (local) councillor. I
do not want to lose the democratic process. If this was for six
months, I don't have a problem, but for two years, I do have a
problem."
Susan Dulny, a candidate for a regional council seat in the
1994 election, made a vociferous call for an election and
expressed "disappointment" that there were not more citizens at
the meeting (about 75 attended). "You all have an important
decision ahead of you," she told council. "Forty thousand dollars
is less than one per cent of the budget. We say to the people, 'It's
your right to elect the mayor."'
Parish said council faces major issues that demand a mayor be
in place immediately and stressed that council could not afford
the "two to three months" it would take to run an election
campaign.
Those issues include provincial cutbacks of $531,000, which
could translate into a 5 per cent tax increase, the provincial
omnibus bill that could amalgamate municipalities, and local
projects like the Pickering Beach Road/Hwy. 401 interchange and
the Ajax waterfront. "The crunch is coming right now," he said.
"The crunch is now and tomorrow and in January."
While Ward 2 Councillor Scott Crawford and Ward 3
Councillor Jim McMaster voted against an appointment, perhaps
the most surprising move was the nomination of Parish by
Anderson. The two are often sparring partners on council.
After being sword in, Parish promised that decisions would be
made "in consultation" and that he would try to deliver a budget
free of tax increases. As well, he pledged a commitment to
maintain Ajax's autonomy. "Ajax is a community that must be
preserved," he said. "We will do what we must do to keep this
community a growing and vibrant community."
Parish, known for being a strong supporter of environmental
and social causes, countered a question about whether he is "anti -
development" by calling himself "pro-business."
"rd like to see more business here," he responded. "We are at
the end of a cycle — commercial land prices are down and there
is renewed interest. There will be significant development in
Call Your Community Newspaper - 837-1888
Ajax. For me, it's a top priority."
A by-election to fill the Ward 3 seat formerly held by
McMaster will take place March 4, 1996.
Perhaps the most poignant moment of the night came when a
tearful Anderson, who admitted that the last 10 days were "very
stressful," offered thanks to his supporters, then choked back a
sob.
During a break outside the council building, in -30 deg.
weather and wearing only a business suit, a shivering Anderson
puffed on a cigarette and said it "made no sense" to contest the
mayor's chair, indicating that during a private session with other
councillors before the meeting, support was 4-2 against him.
"The best thing to do is to get on with business," he said.
"Steve Parish and I spoke and it was agreed that if it should be
found that one of us had the support of council, the other one
should concede to avoid a bloodbath. What happened tonight
happened. It will be business as usual until (the election in)
1997."

Zo
Regional''a epp
by Joe Dickson
The election for our new
regional chairman drew a
standing room audience this
past Wednesday.
Four candidates had gained
support for the position.
including Ajax Mayor Jim
Witty, Pickering Mayor
Wayne Arthurs, Pickering
Regional Councillor Rick
Johnson and Whitby Regional
Councillor Marcel Brunelle.
Marcel is an old grade school
chum of mine from Lord Elgin
School in the original north,
Ajax and his father served on
Ajax council back in the '50s.
Both Wayne Arthurs and
Marcel Brunelle stood aside
prior to the election, leaving
just Witty and Johnson to vie
for the position.
Oshawa regional councillor
Iry Harrell nominated Johnson,
noting he's a matured
representative, always where
the action is, and a tremendous
fundraiser for charity.
Seconding Rick's nomination
was Pickering's Maurice
Brenner, who noted Rick was
"always the man who would
go to the wall for the little
guy." Johnson spoke well to
the audience focusing on his
vision of "quality of life," the
GTA, economic renewal and
ning s
protecting our tax base,
obviously concerned about
some of the current Tory
decisions affecting Durham
taxpayers.
Oshawa's Brian Nicholson
moved the nomination of Jim
Witty indicating we were
facing change and Witty was
the person to lead them to
work together on the issues of
change. He indicated Witty
had experienced leadership
qualifications and was the
person to project a vision of
the future. protect our assets
and lead a "combined team."
Seconding Witty was
Clarington's Ann Dreslinsky
who said he was "someone
who will listen to us, someone
I can trust and someone who is
unparochial."
Jim Witty spoke to the
forum indicating great concern
about tremendous changes that
were coming, especially some
that would be inflicted on us,
such as the Tory Omnibus bill.
He indicated it would merge
towns and boundaries with no
local input and additional
provincial reductions in grants
would have a disastrous impact
on Durham.
As chairman of finance at
the region for six years, Witty
was proud of his "pay as you
go policy" which has left
Durham Region in good shape
financially. He pledged to keep
an open mind and an open
door policy in his closing
remarks.
The process for voting was
identical to the past where all
32 members' names of regional
council were placed in a drum
and drawn one at a time by
regional clerk Cec Lundy.
With the drawing of each
councillor's name, that
councillor had to rise and
publicly state his vote.
Ironically, the first name
pulled was Marcel Brunelle
who cast his vote for Witty and
set the tone for a 23 to 9 vote
win by Jim.
Also ironical was the 17th
Witty vote which gave him the
majority being cast by Brian
Nicholson, who also moved
Witty's nomination. All of the
eight regional mayors voted
Witty, with the exception of
Nancy Diamond of Oshawa.
The vote ended on a very
positive note when Rick
Johnson made the decision
unanimous for regional
chairman Jim Witty by
crossing the floor to offer his
full support.
Gary Herrema would have
been pleased!
Potentially dangerous person warning
The Durham Regional
Police Service is issuing the
following information and
warning in the interest of
public safety.
Donald John Jones has been
released from the Kingston
Penitentiary on warrant expiry,
having served a full 8 -year
sentence for aggravated
assault. This offence involved
an elderly female and took
place in Ontario. Information
and background indicates that
this man represents a risk for
assaultive and sexually
assaultive behavior against
females of all ages. ,
Jones is 42 years old, S 9",
168 lbs. (medium build),
brown hair over the collar, full
beard, blue eyes. He is
presently believed to be
residing in the Newmarket,
area, but may also frequent the
Uxbridge area.
The Durham Regional
Police Service is issuing this
information and warning after
careful deliberation and
consideration of all related
issues, in the belief that then
is a compelling public interest
served by informing the
members of the community of
the release of Donald John
Jones, which outweighs
privacy concerns.
This Police Service has
concern for the immediate
safety of the public and has
probable grounds to believe it
is in the public interest to
disclose this information and
that the record of Donald John
Jones reveals a grave health
and safety hazard to the public.

Wine for the holiday season

As gifts, or for celebrating,
fine wine is the perfect choice
for this holiday season. Since
more wines are available
during this time than the rest of

are on sale at the LCBO, why
not give them a try?
Enjoy a medium to light -
bodied red, a dry Riesling, a
barrel -fermented chardonnay
or Pinot Gris with roast tudcey
at your holiday feast. If ham is
an the menu, a medimt-bodied
red or a Gamay would be a
perfect companion. For a
festive touch try Riesling or
Muscat with holiday sweets
and cake.

R ecess 'is over
7n celebrating Jim Witty's ascendance to
the throne of regional might and power, once
again we can't help feeling more than a little
annoyed with the democratic process — or
should we say, loss of it — these days. „
The inability of Durham residents to elect
their highest official, while perhaps
understandable, is vexing all the same.
Fortunately for us, this time around there was
no denying that Witty was the man for the job.
But what if there had been other equally
strung contenders?
For anyone who has ever watched the open -
election process practised at regional council,
it quickly becomes evident that the race is
usually little more than a popularity contest—
much like school kids choosing a team leader
at recess. No secret ballots here. jest stand up,
speak out and say who you Ince the best.
The hole left by Witty's departure from
Ajax council has also been filled in quasi -
democratic fashion. Whether you agree with
the outcome or not, surely with so much of the
mayoralty term left and with so much
authority riding on this decision, the choice of
mayor should have been made by the residents
of the town. Once again, a handful of elected
officials who may, or may not, have had axes
to grind were the only ones allowed to say who
they liked the best.
Recess over, we troop back into school.
But if true learning actually is the "school
of bard knocks" — and for most of as it is —
then isn't it about time we began re-examining
some of the processes going on in this so-called
democracy of ours?
If ever there were abuses of oar precious
democratic system, surely none could rival the
methods of our current Ontario government.
With GTA "recommendations" (read
"plans") not yet dry on the pages of the
Golden Report, the Harris government is am
busy ramrodding the "omnibus bill" which
will give our so-called leaders the power to
squash and mold municipalities like ours,
:.literally at will. _...
If ever there were a time whea we seeded to
be awake and pro -active as citmats, this is it.

and should mer=e NOW — while there is atilt

that we care about.

LACAC not affected by freeze
To the Original Bay News:
Re LACAC in jeopardy article of Nov. 1.
It was with some dismay that we read your article
lo learn that Ajax LACAC Ls in jeopardy. We believe
that John Cooper is a little confused on the subject.
and we would like to clarify the situation.
Although the Desim
gnated Property Grant progra
sponsored by the Ministry of Citizenship. Culture and
Recreation, has been put on a freeze for the balance
of the 1995196 fiscal year, this in no way affects the
operation of LACAC. In most cases, local councils
provide a modest operating budget for their LACAC
committees. Committee members are all volunteers,
brought together with the common purpose of
preserving our local heritage.
Ajax LACAC are looking forward to another
active year in 1996. Keep posted.
Joe Vranic, Chair
Ajax LACAC
Let democracy prevail in choosing new mayor
To the Original Bay News:
An open letter to members of Ajax town council
It is a sad day for democracy when elected
representatives of a [own/city decide to appoint the
mayor. Ever since the early beginnings of Ajax, all
matters concerning the future of this town and its
residents was done in a democratic manner and those
who were of voting age were asked to cast their
voice.
It is indeed sad to find that only two elected
representatives of this town believe in democracy; the
other four feel that the mandate they received (from
the residents) last fall justifies their present thinking:
to appoint somebody to 611 the seat of the highest
elected position in Ajax.1 say let democracy prevail,
let all eligible voters in Ajax decide who they want
(to serve them) as their mayor for the remainder of
this term and perhaps even beyond; not just six
residents of this town.

Here are a few scenarios to consider. Both regional
councillors will not resign their seat because they do
not want to disrupt the proceedings at region (budget,
Harris cuts, provincial bill that could merge
communities without consultation and other
significant issues) instead, they will let the
nomination take its course and the residents of Ajax
come forward with their nominees; or, both regional
councillors resign and trust that the new regional
representatives of the town will take their job
seriously enough to represent the residents to the best
of their ability.
It is really all up to both regional councillors: they
have to make the most important political choice in
their fife right now, but they will then have made the
right choice for democracy and their integrity: resign
and let the residents reward one of them with the top
job -
1 am sure that spending $40,000 to elect our mayor
is money well spent and no one in this town will ever
be upset about that, but to just appoint the mayor for
dee wrong masons will surety be membered in V.

a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed
Sunday. The Strouds were
staunch churchgoers. "My
husband didn't like doing
business on Sunday," she says.
The Strouds raised three
sons on the farm: "Murray's a
lawyer, Leonard's my farmer
and Nelson's a high school
teacher in London. And they
all married nurses," she says
with a chuckle. "The boys
have always been interested in
the farm."
Born into a farming family
in Cobourg, Stroud moved to
Durham in the mid -'30s. Emie,
the son of a harness maker,
had lived in Dunbarton since
the age of five.
Stroud pauses as a knock at
the door announces the arrival
of friends. They gather in the
kitchen, chatting about
everyday things. The kitchen is
spacious and airy but warm
with chitchat, local news and
memories. Stroud returns to
the living room and her story.
The Strouds met in a tomato
field in 1937. Each had been
working on their respective
family farms to supply the
nearby Metcalfe Tomato
Factory with produce. They
were married in 1938.
Ernie "washed carrots all
day to buy the marriage
license," she says. "I killed two
chickens to buy a dress."
.Married for 52 years, they
were members of Dunbarton
United Church for 47 years.
Their children grew up on the
farm, married and had their
own children. Stroud counts
seven grandchildren in all,
though one died early in life.
The family still gathers at
the farm to help during the
year, she says. It reinforces her
sense of community,
something she feels is rapidly
being lost as the area becomes
increasingly urbanized.
"Now, you don't mix with
people the way you used to,"
she says. "Years ago,
sometimes I had 30 or 40 kids
in the field working. Now it's
the tractor. You don't get as
close together. Back then, you
didn't have a lot and you had to
work closer together to help
one another."
But the Stroud tradition
continues. Located dhmugbout
Ajax and Pickering, the
family's vegetable stands
confirm for longtime
customers and friends in the
community that some things
— the crunch of a fresh carrot,
the taste of a freshly -baked
apple or pumpkin pie, the farm
roots out of which the
community grew — will,
thankfully, never change.

Grand opening
Sportmart
Former Canadian
Figure Skating
Champion Kurt
Browning, and
former Blue Jay
Kelly Gruber sign
autographs at the
opening of
Sportmart located in
the Pickering Home
and Leisure Centre
;Members of the Canadian National Swim Team are, from left to right, Robert Braknis, Stephanie
Richardson, Marie -Claire Ross and Jennifer Noddle.
Collegiate Sports. National
Sports Centre. Bay Sports.
And now... Sportmart.
Located in the Pickering
Home and Leisure Centre,
Pickering's newest edition to
the sports world officially
opened its doors last weekend
with a bang.
Originated out of Chicago,
this ninth Canadian Sportmart
and seventh in Ontario, gives
the sports consumer a new
place to shop. Now after 25
years in the United States,
Sportmart has opened its doors
on this side of the border after
three years of analyzing the
Canadian market.
Packed with a variety of
sports equipment, athletic wear
and hobbyist paraphernalia,
this new sports building vows
to be 40,000 sq. ft. of
consumer friendly shopping.
And to start off on the right
foot, Sportmart wanted to have
a rapport with the consumer by
bringing in some big -name
athletes.
World class stars, such as
gymnastics legend Nadia
Comaneci and Canada's figura
skating hero Kurt Browning,
dropped by the building to sip
autographs for hundreds of
adoring fans.
"By having these autograph
sessions it shows we have a
friendship with the customer,"
said assistant department
manager Clint Taylor. "But
this is just to say to people.
here we are."
Hundreds of little girls
flocked to see the 34 -year-old
gymnast who is famous for
scoring the first perfect 10 at
the 1976 Olympics. Ms.
Comaneci, feeling a little
under the weather, performed a
few moves on the beam which
won her the gold medal at the
Olympics and then signed
autograph after autograph for
her adoring fans, most of
whom were not born at the
time of her accomplishment.
Ms. Comaneci and Mr.
Browning were the big draws
over the weekend while other
athletes such as ex -Blue Jay
Kelly Gruber, freestyle skier
Phillip Latrouche and members
of the Canadian National swim
team took part in the autograph
sessions.
With 70 staff members
ready to serve, Sportmart feels
its customer service will be the
key to longevity in Pickering
and the test of the nation.
"Customer service is all
then is to it," says Mr. Taylor.
"Customer service is what
we're trying to really hit on.
People will come back because
they like the service. We're
confident if people like the
service, they'» come back,"
Mr. Taylor and department
manager Marc Hicks, firmly
believe their customer service
is the key to the whole
operation and if they want to
be known as the best sports
shopping centre, then it is up
to the staff members to supply
the friendly atmosphere.
"7bere is definitely going to
be people run out of town."
says Mr. Taylor. "And it will
be people who don't have
customer service."
One big aspect to Sportmart
is the savings they promise the
customer. A double -the -
difference policy plays a major
role in the store's future. For
example: if an item selling in
Sportmart valued at $200 is
selling at another local
competitor for $150, Sportmart
will match the price and
"double the difference" by
giving the shopper the
difference in prices on credit.
Now the shopper has $50 on
credit for his/her reward for
doing comparative pricing for
the store.
Not only are they offering
the lowest prices around,
Sportmart is filled with new
ideas not no this side of the
border.
When trying out a pair of
rollerblades or hockey skates,
Sportmart offers a testing area
for those wishing to try out the
product before tabng it home.
A strip designed for
rollerblading at the back end of
1976 Olympic Gold 'Medal Gvmnast Nadia Comaneci
the shop and a simulated ice
surface in the hockey
department give the store a
new wrinkle no other store
provides.
Another new concept the
store has installed is a
customer service button. When
in a designated area and a sales
representative is not around, a
simple push of a button will
send a call over the
loudspeaker for a sales person
to assist the customer in the
designated area. If assistance is
not provided by the third push
of the button, headquarters in
Chicago will know of the
problem.
Both Hicks and Taylor want
to carry as much sports
merchandise as possible to
bring all types of sports
jw*= into the shop. Carrying
items such as bye shoes, field
hockey equipment and other
items which may not be
available in most stores is
something Sportmart is trying
to achieve.
"We'll carry things just to
say we've got them," said Mr.
Hicks. "We've got curling
shoes just to say, hey, we've
got it, to separate us from the
competition."

amazing technicolor night for
the Young Singers of Ajax

their participation in the play
Joseph and the Amazing

to your certificates, as they
were the last things signed by
Jim Witty when he was mayor
and might be worth something

someday."
Choir director Anna Lynn
Murphy had high praise for the
town's support of the group.
"This choir has flourished for
the past four years thanks to
the help of the Ajax Paries and
Recreation Department. It has
been very gratifying to hear
members of the community
refer to the Young Singers of
Ajax as 'our young singers."'
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat,
starring former teen idol
Donny Osmond, played from
June to September at the
O'Keefe Centre. said Tracy
SicMurray, a programmer with
Ajax Parks and Recreation
who oversees the group.
Twenty-three were chosen out
of the total choir of 96, to go
through a rigorous set of
auditions that were narrowed
from 100 to 33 choirs, then
finally to four groups. Choirs
from across Ontario competed
for a part in the play.
The Young Singers of Ajax
range in age from eight to 16
and anyone is welcome to join,
said McMurray. The group
meets for weekly sessions and
has quadrupled in size since its
inception. McMurray called
the certificate presentation: "A
nice closing for the 'Joseph'
kids.
The ten commandments of car care
by Edwin Mercurio
Winter is the worst time to
have your car stall. Once your
battery goes dead, you lost
your car heater, and your
hazard lights stop blinking.
-While you sit in the cold inside
your car, hoping some tow
truck finds you, you may
wonder what went wrong. It's
possible that you have
disobeyed one or more of the
ten commandments of car care.
Perhaps you forgot to
winterize and protect your car.
FTK Motors offers a Ten
Plus One Check Winter
:Protection Package which
covers the ten most important
care items for cars, light trunks
t -and vans. Cooling system
flash, anti-fneeae draining and
refill; radiator cap pressure
check; drive belts wear and
e fear inspection; drive belts
tension adj engine and
systems check for leaks, heaw
flow check; wiper inspection;
visual inspection ofbattery and
electrical system; and tire
rotation. In addition, FTK will
'-align your headlamps. And all
for the special early bird price
Of $55.95.
Ken Lee, manager of FTK
Motors, advises tsar owners to
check and service the cooling
system at least once a year,
adjust and inspect drive belt
wear and tear, change engine
oil and filter at regular
intervals and have a licensed
mechanic inspect and check
your battery and electrical
system. Observing these
protective measures will assure
better car protection and
reduce the need for expensive
repairs, hesays.
The Ten Plus One Check
Witter Protection Package is
being offered by FTK to
celebrate its first anniversary
to business. "We would hloe to
dtaak the Pickering and Ajax
community for their
overwhelming support," says
Ken. "Our success has

��..ofany company's

FM Motors was opened in
1994 to respond to a need in
the community for well-

for more costly repairs at a
later date."

Economic cuts tough on everyone
by John Cooper
The response of local health,
education and municipal
officials to the Nov. 29
announcement of financial cuts
by the provincial government
ranged from caution and
concern to charges that the
provincial government failed
to keep its earlier promises.
Ontario Finance Minister
Ernie Eves announced that
provincial government
spending will be reduced by
$4.5 to $5.5 billion by 1996-
97. Included in those cuts,
which affect a variety of
programs and services across
government, are a $400
million reduction in transfers
to school boards in 1996/97; a
municipal reduction of more
than $600 million (to the
Ontario Municipal Support
Program, transit and libraries)
from 1996-1998, and a
reduction in hospital funding
of $365 million in 1994/97.
Pat Jermey, president of the
Ontario Secondary School
Teachers Federation Local 117
(Durham Region), said the
education cuts "translate to
$10 million in the Durham
Board of Education's budget.
The Conservatives are not
living up to their Common
Sense Revolution promise that
classroom funding would not
be reduced. We cannot take
this out and not expect it to
affect kids directly."
Jermey said OSSTF
members are waiting to see
specifics of the cuts. "We're
Moping the government might
direct some of these funding
cuts directly towards the upper
administrative levels," she
said. "But our fear is, if they
just come down through
general grant funds, they'll just
be unloaded to the classroom.
The Durham Board of
Education is not a wasteful
school board...and that kind of
funding cut just can't be done
without causing pain."
In a news release, Tom
Oldman, chair of the Durham
Region Roman Catholic
Separate School Board,
expressed a hope that funding
cuts won't fall on boards with
already -lean budgets. "It is
important to this board that the
government's funding
reductions take into account
the unfairness of the current
education funding model so
that the burden of these cuts
does not fall most heavily ori
those school boards already
operating with very limited
funds," said Oldmiln.
1n the health care sector,
Garth Johns, vice president,
human resources and hospital
services for Ajax and
Pickering General Hospital,
said he is hopeful the hospital
won't suffer drastic chops.
"Obviously it's our hope,
because were in a high gr wdi
area, that we won't be
suffering maximum
reductions," be said, adding
that he had heard mtumurings
from the health ministry that
hospitals in high-growth areas
like Durham, will be spared
major cuts. Ajax and Pickering
Geral Hospital, operating on
an annual budget of $34
million, currently serves a
population base of 150,000
and growing," said Johns.
He said he hopes the
position of Ajax and Pickering
as one of two acute care
hospitals in Durham (based on
a recent study) will be
unchanged as a result of the
economic statement. Former
Ajax Mayor Jim Witty (now
regional chair) called the
announcement "no surprise."
"I don't think it's a big
surprise to anybody," he said
of municipal reductions
totalling $614 million over the
next two fiscal years. "Nobody
knows yet what the impact will
be on the individual
municipalities. I think well be
getting that information in a
couple of weeks.
"There's no doubt in my
mind that well be in a position
to either reduce the levels of
service, incfase or implarrau
user fees or increase property
taus," he added. "Ilse Town
of Ajax happens to be in a
pretty good position as far as
the third ahemadve, thanks to
the cost management system
we implemented (the STAR$
program, to Save Town of
Ajax Real Dollars, initiated by
CAO Barry Malmsten in
September 1994). We're able
to handle something bike this a
lot better than other
municipalities."
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Ariburs said the cats will mean
a "difficult 1996 and '97" for
the town. "We've been holding
the line on taxes for four yenta
running," he said.

Area wrestlers grapple for gold
in invitational tournament
ith over 500 wrestlers in attendance at the
4th Henry Street High School Invitational
Wrestling Tournament` Pickering and Ajax
grapplers took home their fair share of medals.
Seven local athletes captured gold at the one -day meet
last Friday at the Whitby school.
Dunbarton's Brad Jamieson, along with Exeter's Brent
Sarson, Ajax's John McLean, St. Mary's Steve Brown
and Brad Fleming and Pine Ridge's Nick Lioktsis and
Ken Burgess captured gold.
"It was an easy day," said Burgess after handily
winning his Open 148-150 kilogram weight class. "it
was a pretty easy draw. When the guy from Pickering
wasn't here (James Brooks), I looked at the draw and
thought it would be pretty easy.
"I did everything I wanted to do. I didn't give up any
stupid points and didn't make any mistakes. I stuck with
what I knew would work."
Burgess breezed through the draw and made quick
work of Dunbarton's Ryan Brown 10-0, in the final, to
capture the gold medal in fine fashion.
While Burgess was looking forward to matching up
against Brooks at the tournament, he said the main focus
is on the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association
championships later in February. It's that meeting he is
looking forward to.
"That's the one that counts," says Burgess.
While Ajax and Pickering schools were on a gold
rush, other grapplers were content with bronze and silver
medals.
One such athlete whose day ended with a silver lining
was Exeter's Steve Jesso.
Wrestling against Canadian champion Kyle Telfer.
Jesso realized he was in tough. But he put up a got►d
showing, losing 6-0 in the gold mesial match -
A was proud of myself," said Jesso. "I fought hard
today. I knew 1 was the underdog. He's the Canadian
champion and 1 have nothing to be ashamed of."
Both wrestlers are good friends and wanted to meet up
with each other in the final. Jesso wasn't sure if he
would get to that point, but had to laugh afterwards
about having to wrestle one of his good friends.
Becauseof his efforts at the tournament, Jesso's
coach, John Watkins, said he would put in a bid for his
young wrestler to be named Athlete of the Week at his
school.
"He did a great job today," said Watkins. "He beat a
guy from Boston and only lost 6-0 to the Canadian
champion in the final."
What makes the silver more incredible at a
tournament of this magnitude is Jesso wrestles without
his sight.
But being blind hasn't stopped the young wrestler from
stepping on to the mat and giving everything he's got to
strap a medal around his neck at the end of the day.
"Steve wrestles better than most sighted guys in his
weight class," says Watkins.
Jesso was entered with 14 other grapplers looking for
some hardware. But only three left with a medal. And
Jesso was the proud owner of one.
Panthers poised for playoffs
he Pickering Panthcr; are to make their mo,•c up the .landings,
-i(,w is the time. Pickering is set for a tine -game homestand to end
inc month. beginning Dec. 17, with two of those games against
hascment dweller. Oshawa. Currently one spot out of the post -season.
Pickering coach John Blackbum said it is vital for the team to win the
games against Oshawa w they can keep pace with the teams abo%e them.
But the trek to the playoffs may have taken a blow when veteran
defenceman Stephen Koechlin left last Fndav m_ht, 7-4 home loss to the
Wexford Raiders with a shoulder injury. If K4,cchlin is lost for any amount

Area wrestlers grapple for gold
in invitational tournament
ith over 500 wrestlers in attendance at the
4th Henry Street High School Invitational
Wrestling Tournament` Pickering and Ajax
grapplers took home their fair share of medals.
Seven local athletes captured gold at the one -day meet
last Friday at the Whitby school.
Dunbarton's Brad Jamieson, along with Exeter's Brent
Sarson, Ajax's John McLean, St. Mary's Steve Brown
and Brad Fleming and Pine Ridge's Nick Lioktsis and
Ken Burgess captured gold.
"It was an easy day," said Burgess after handily
winning his Open 148-150 kilogram weight class. "it
was a pretty easy draw. When the guy from Pickering
wasn't here (James Brooks), I looked at the draw and
thought it would be pretty easy.
"I did everything I wanted to do. I didn't give up any
stupid points and didn't make any mistakes. I stuck with
what I knew would work."
Burgess breezed through the draw and made quick
work of Dunbarton's Ryan Brown 10-0, in the final, to
capture the gold medal in fine fashion.
While Burgess was looking forward to matching up
against Brooks at the tournament, he said the main focus
is on the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association
championships later in February. It's that meeting he is
looking forward to.
"That's the one that counts," says Burgess.
While Ajax and Pickering schools were on a gold
rush, other grapplers were content with bronze and silver
medals.
One such athlete whose day ended with a silver lining
was Exeter's Steve Jesso.
Wrestling against Canadian champion Kyle Telfer.
Jesso realized he was in tough. But he put up a got►d
showing, losing 6-0 in the gold mesial match -
A was proud of myself," said Jesso. "I fought hard
today. I knew 1 was the underdog. He's the Canadian
champion and 1 have nothing to be ashamed of."
Both wrestlers are good friends and wanted to meet up
with each other in the final. Jesso wasn't sure if he
would get to that point, but had to laugh afterwards
about having to wrestle one of his good friends.
Becauseof his efforts at the tournament, Jesso's
coach, John Watkins, said he would put in a bid for his
young wrestler to be named Athlete of the Week at his
school.
"He did a great job today," said Watkins. "He beat a
guy from Boston and only lost 6-0 to the Canadian
champion in the final."
What makes the silver more incredible at a
tournament of this magnitude is Jesso wrestles without
his sight.
But being blind hasn't stopped the young wrestler from
stepping on to the mat and giving everything he's got to
strap a medal around his neck at the end of the day.
"Steve wrestles better than most sighted guys in his
weight class," says Watkins.
Jesso was entered with 14 other grapplers looking for
some hardware. But only three left with a medal. And
Jesso was the proud owner of one.
Panthers poised for playoffs
he Pickering Panthcr; are to make their mo,•c up the .landings,
-i(,w is the time. Pickering is set for a tine -game homestand to end
inc month. beginning Dec. 17, with two of those games against
hascment dweller. Oshawa. Currently one spot out of the post -season.
Pickering coach John Blackbum said it is vital for the team to win the
games against Oshawa w they can keep pace with the teams abo%e them.
But the trek to the playoffs may have taken a blow when veteran
defenceman Stephen Koechlin left last Fndav m_ht, 7-4 home loss to the
Wexford Raiders with a shoulder injury. If K4,cchlin is lost for any amount
of time it will hurt the defensive corps the most.
With Koechlin, the road to the playoffs are a possibility. Without him, it
will be incredibly difficult.
Afterlosin2 to Wexford. the Panthers suffered a big blow the following

the "ongoing reality of

The newly elected officials
are: Audrey MacLean of
Oshawa, Chair of the Durham
Board; Sherrill Willard of
Ajax, Vice Chair; Faith

of the Standing Committee;
Kathleen Hopper of Oshawa,

"It is time for education to
continue its pursuit of
efficiency, effectiveness,
quality, accountability, and
decreased cost; for education
to re -organize itself," said
Bowman in her annual report
to the Durham board.
Bowman provided an
accurate reflection of the
complex environment faced by
the Durham Board of
Education as it "continues to
provide educational leadership
in 1996."
The Board, she said, "will
need to find the balance
between the leadership
directives of our provincial and
federal government, the
services provided by other
government agencies, the
expectations and support of
parents, the economic realities
facing our electors, the goals
of our employees, our
responsibility as employers,
and the ever-increasing social,
emotional and academic needs
of our students, as well as their
expectations of all educational
Pim
In spite of these complex
issues, Bowman stressed that
the Durham Board must
recognize it has an
extraordinary responsibility to
Durham commit passed the joW
committee's reconi endation 'that
all ass& mnnicodities, except lose
with a private disposal contract
(Whitby), be reimbursed $20 per
tout for waste disposal,
oommencing as of Sept. 18, until the
end of the present contract (mid-
January 1996).'
In 1996, other municipalities —
including Ajax and Pickering —
may follow Whitby's lead in the
the future. "With the potential
loss of Junior Kindergarten or
the proposed compression of
the Ontario Academic Credits,
the exact year of graduation
may change. In addition to our
ongoing focus on how children
learn, we in Durham are now
educating a student base which
is broader in ability, age and
interest than ever before in our
history."
Trustee Bowman also
pointed to one of the board's
major accomplishments saying
that Durham has "one of the
nation's highest student
retention rates. We have
compressed the drop-out rates
of the 1950s from roughly 40
per cent to under 10 per cent in
Durham."
The Durham Board, she
said, will continue to examine

councillor Rick Johnson says
working more closely with the

projects for innovative waste

involvement, and adding greater
emphasis to local collection and

Entertainment �' you can't we out of properly and
not being able to clean it because
by M.H. Parnu
There's no escaping it —
winter is here and that brings with
it a variety of driving conditions
that we need to be able to cope
with and adapt to.
"For insurance companies, the
winter months are our heaviest
collision times," says Robby
Robbs, an auto insurance expert
with The Co-operators. "These
collisions happen for a number of
reasons but mostly because drivers
don't adapt their driving habits to
reflect changing road conditions."
Below are some general tips to
help you drive safely this winter.
Winterize your car
Change to a lightweight,
multi -grade oil as heavy oil
thickens in cold weather, making
it harder for the engine to turn
over.
• Cold weather is hard on
batteries so if yours is a few years
old, check to make sure the
connections arc not corroded.
• Worn tires are dangerous
any time of the year — in winter
weather they are treacherous.
Safety, mileage and tread wear are
all affected by improper tire
pressure. Check your lire pressure
monthly as for every 5•C the
temperature drops, your tire
pressure decreases by one pound.
• Have the brakes checked
to make sure you have equalized
braking on all wheels — this
eliminates pulling to one side,
especially when stopping on a
slippery surface.

Braking techniques
A much greater distance is
needed to bring a vehicle to a stop
in icy or snowy conditions, so
keep a greater distance between
your vehicle and the car in front of
you. Slamming the brakes could
lock the wheels and produce an
uncontrolled skid. Motorists
should pump brakes gently and
intermittently to bring the vehicle
to a halt while maintaining
steering control. In winter
conditions you need to slow down
gradually in advance of any stop.
For better traction, start out
slowly and maintain an even
speed; jerky stops and starts can
cause skidding. Here's how to
handle a skid and prevent your
wheels from locking:
• Turn your steering wheel
slightly so your car's wheels point
in the direction you want to go;
• Take your foot off the gas
slowly:
• De -clutch with a standard
transmission or shift into neutral
with an automatic car,
• Apply the brakes gradually
and gently by squeezing the brake
pedal until you feel it grab — ease
off and repeat until you have
stopped.
Auto coverall
Many people routinely take
insurance off any vehicles they
don't drive in winter.
"If you get your auto insurance
suspended for a vehicle you don't
drive in the winter, we
recommend you keep at least
comprehensive coverage for
protection against vandalism or
theft," says Robby Robb of The
Co-operators.
