No tax increases for
Pickering residents
Pickering Council has
decided to put a few things
off for tomorrow to give
residents a zero tax increase
today.
Despite drastic reduc-
tions in provincial transfer
payments, Pickering coun-
cillors managed to tenta-
tively approve a $36 mil-
lion budget Monday that
will not hike property taxes.
Council did have to bite the
bullet on it few items on
their wish lists, however, in
order to meet their target.
Chopped during
,Monday's five-hour budget
meeting were S 140,000 set
aside for a new 5 -ton dump
truck (the 1968 model now
in use will have to make do
one more year) and
$225,000 for a new fire
truck. Put on hold was a
promised mace lift to Hydro
Park And unreserved was
,ilmost $500,000 (from a
S635,0(X) kitty) set aside in
I Social Contract reserve
fund.
Council did manage to
save $420,000 for a pumper
rescue fire truck and rescue
11 Pickering firefighters
scheduled for the chopping
block.
The fire department staff
reduction was included in
the original town staff bud-
get, which promised an
eight per cent reduction in
the mill rate. Mayor Wayne
Arthurs said council decid-
ed the short term gain to the
pocket book would be
worth the long-term civic
pain, however.
"We saw what the impact
of that budget process
would mean. Those ser-
vices you cannot do with-
out."
Council was able to make
up the shortfall in other
ways (such as a $5,000 cut
in their newspaper advertis-
ing budget) over the two
month long budget process
but still found enough cash
to spend $2 million on
roads, including $360,000
for the second phase of
Glendale Road.
Other requests for money
were put on hold, including
a donation plea from Ajax -
Pickering General Hospital.
The town has given the
hospital $25,000 in each of

Pickering may not have the
funds to help the cash-
strapped facility this year.
The budget document

more fine tuning before

"I'm happy we got to
zero. I said at the begin-

excellent job if we got to

"Council met that challenge

welcome as the first sign of
spring, when the green shoots of
all planted bulbs fust pop up out

spectacular beauty, which they
deliver.
Your hard work last fall plant-

other bulbs will be richly reward-

While you're enjoying the

Give "naturalized" bulbs a

The term naturalized refers to
bulbs that are left in the ground
to return year after year. Some
are better "returners" than others.
Most tulips, for example, are

bloom, but diminish over time.

such as daffodils, will not only

Is it pork -barrelling or good
Politics?
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish
Calls a decision to use
$400,000 in reserve funds for
Pickering Village road recon-
struction bad politics. But
regional councillor Roger
Anderson calls it the start of a
new era for Ajax.
The issue deadlocked Ajax
council in recent weeks and
became a central focus of the
March 4 by-election. It was
resolved March 5 after newly -
elected Ward 3 councillor Joe
Atkinson voted in favour of
using the funds. Drawn from
the town's mill rate stabiliza-
tion reserve. the money will be
used for construction and main-
tenance on Sherwood Road
East and George Jones Street.
Atkinson, who just after the
election spoke of a need to
repair the roads, broke a two-
week -old tie, joining regional
councillors Anderson and Jim
McMaster and Ward 1 council-
lor Frank Schaper on the yes
side. Opposed were Parish,
Ward 2 councillor Scott
Crawford and Ward 4 council-
lor Pat Brown.
The money will flow from a
capital projects and equipment
budget totalling 32462,900.
Parish calls the decision
"pork -barrelling" and a shift
away from the town's attempts
to provide suitable long-term
road maintenance planning.
And some area residents are
alleging the issue amounts to a
near half -million dollar pur-
chase of votes.
"I had calls from two resi-
dents on Sherwood Road who
said they didn't want the road
done and they felt the expendi-
ture was inappropriate," said
Parish. "We are in very uncer-
tain and troubled times and it's
not a time to spend money
without having thought through
the process and the implica-
tions. (What) I suggested on
that issue was to do a full
broadcast and plan it out so we
can do a sustainable capital
program to reconstruct roads in
Pickering Village."
Anderson, who originally
called for the allocation, said he
was pleased with the decision.
"It was everything 1 wanted
and obviously the majority of
council wanted it. It should be
just what the residents wanted
This will be the start of some-
thing."
But the mayor said the move
casts a negative light on local
politics. "I feel very strongly
that politicians everywhere, and
particularly politicians at the
municipal level, have to move
beyond the old-style parochial
pork -barrel decision-making
and on to very sound, financial-
ly conservative and prudent
decision-making that has the
best interests of the entire town
as its basis," he said. "If we do
that we're all going to come out
of these trying times as winners
but if we don't do it we'll be

This spring may be the
last time Pickering resi-
dents will be able to pay
their taxes by VISA or
Mastercard, unless the
town can swing a better
deal with the banks.
Pickering now pays a
1.85 per cent service fee
for VISA transactions, a
figure considerably higher
than the fee other busi-
nesses have to pay. . _
Last year the town han-
dled more than $4 million
in credit card tax transac-
tions, which translates
into a fee of approximate-
ly $105,000.
This year the figure
could reach $6 million,
which would cost the
town an extra $6,000, and
council decided — after
learning CIBC will not go
lower than 1.85 per cent —
to shop around for no
higher than 1.5 per vent.
Failing that, the town
will drop the credit card
service, effective May 1.

getting ourselves in deep."
According to Parish, the
ideal situation involves a "set-
ting of priorities. What we're
trying to do is move to a sys-
tem where we can say `These
logically are the priorities.
These are the revenues we'll
have over this time frame.'
"So when a municipal politi-
cian is asked 'When is my road
going to be done." he can say
(for example). 'Your road will
be done in 1998.' This program
that we're trying to do will give
us the ability to say, based on
our capital forecasts and our
budget, `Your road will be done Z
in 1998.

Once it's gone,` it's gone
Pork -barrelling - what a remarkable word And are
local Ajax politicians guilty of this? Of putting their own
interests ahead of that of the taxpayers? We certainly don't
like to think so.
We do wonder, however, why these councillors are in
such a rush to approve the withdrawal of $400,000 from
the town's reserve funds. Given the Town's dedication to
saving money and reducing costs through its STARS pro-
gram why take the questionable step of pulling the money,
literally out of savings, for what would appear to be a half-
baked idea in the first place.'
The Pickering Village roads in question arc not major
thoroughfares. Being in one of the older areas of the town,
the very character and personality is somehow kept in tact
— because the roads aren't pristine and perfect.

Shame! Shame! Shame!
Dear Sirs:
Shame! Shame! Shame! The two so-called strong pro-
ponents of the "Dump the Dump" cause, Maurice
Brenner and Dave Ryan, throwing support behind the
only member of past councils who supported the
Metro/Durham dump, Doug "Judas" Dickerson. With the
Town of Pickering already having spent millions of tax
payers' dollars and these two clowns turning around and
supporting Dickerson is incomprehensible. This clearly
shows the integrity of some individuals who have been
elected by the public to lead this town.
These two councillors who were supposedly so pas-
sionate towards the cause of no more garbage in
Pickering to vote for the only ex -Regional Councillor,
who, on a recorded vote elected to say that Pickering
needs Metro's garbage, is beyond a laugtning matter and
should not be taken lightly by the residents of Pickering.
Like our elected neigbours to the east of Ontario, it
appears these two elected members are talking from both
sides of their mouths too.
Personally, I feel that this is another dear indication of
the back mom deals that continue to plague Pickering.
STEPPING STONES
Kudos for Ms. Senis and Mayor Arthurs for voting with
their heads and not for what's down the road for their
self interests. Ward 2 residents had clearly sent out the
message over the last 2 election periods that Dickerson
was not wanted at either the local or the regional level.
Back room politicking still wages on here in our town
thanks to the likes of Brenner, Ryan, Rick Johnson and
Enrico Pistritto. What hidden agendas are you all work-
ing towards and ready to pass with the 5 of you "in bed"
with each other???? No doubt it will soon become evi-
dent. May all voters of all wards have long memories
come next years elections.

I L make major changes in Ontario, changes that would
help Ontario get back on track again. By squarely
facing the debt crisis and reducing the cost and size of
government, and by bringing tax relief to our provinces'
hard-working families, we will bring back economic
growth and prosperity.
In this, my first in a series of monthly columns in the
Original Bay News, I would like to report on our govem-
ment's progress to date;
- Through two financial statements we have started to
confront the problems that put Ontario into its fiscal
predicament. The fact that we are spending $1 million
more an hour than we take in, every hour of the day,
clearly illustrates the problem; that our debt is slowly but
surely undermining our ability to maintain and protect
valuable social programs. But by reducing government
spending and restructuring the way we provide services,
we have taken the first major steps towards the economic
recovery needed to sustain our priorities of health care,
education, and community safety.
- Job quotas are gone with the passage of Bill 8 which
restores the merit principle to hiring and makes Ontario's
business more conducive to job growth.
- We enacted major welfare reforms to break the cycle
of dependency and reward productive work. Welfare
rates were reduced to ten per cent above the average of
the other provinces and recipients were given the oppor-
tunity to earn back the difference between the new and
the old rates. Other measures, such as a citizens' hot-line
ancj special investigations teams, were introduced to
combat welfare fraud and tighten eligibility. From the
end of -June to January, over 119,000 people left
Ontario's welfare system.
- In order to protect the total health care budget as we
have pledged, we need to find efficiencies in the system
and reinvest the savings in arras where there is need. For
example, the government has set aside a fund of $25 mil-
lion to assist hospitals in growth regions like Durham.
Among other things, we've expanded kidney dialysis ser-
vices as well as front-line emergency care, and intro-
duced a measles vaccination program for school -aged
children across the province.
- A tool kit exists for school boards to help them
achieve savings in a way that will protect classroom
funding and provide opportunities for local decision mak-
ing.
- Throughout our negotia-tions with the Ontario Public
Service Union, we have maintained a position that is fair
to our employees and responsible to the taxpayers. While
we have some flexibility in terms of how we divide up
the existing financial resources, we simply cannot go to
the taxpayers and ask them for an additional $1.5 billion
to pay for the union's proposals.
We have held true to our commitments but much still
remains to be done. Putting more money into your hands
through tax relief is one of our next priorities. In this
Spring's budget we will announce specific details on the
tax cut. Tax relief, combined with the rest of our growth
plan, will work to make a better future for you and your
family in Ontario.

Soared -ft

;t was a pleasure listening to Jim Witty the Regional
Chairman for Durham at a recent business luncheon.
Jim, also a businessman, gave his views on
government reform in the Great Toronto Area.
Refreshingly, rather than repeat the standard party line
about how hell will freeze over before we become part
of Metro, Jim offered some constructive suggestions,
including his views on fair value assessment as it applies
to taxation. But the highlight for me was his response to
the question about possible mergers among monicrpah-
ties, such as Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. Jim made it
clear that, from his perspective, the region would not
stand in the way but the impetus for such a move should
come from the municipalities themselves.
When every level of government is strivinS to deliver
more, or the same, service for less cost, shouldn't we be
looping at this as a means to possible improvements in
government efficiency? A politician who would put sav-
ings to the taxpayers ahead of protecting his own t►irf
would get my vote.
But wait, could we really manage with fewer politi-
cians? _
with its own problems first. He
visualizes Durham adopting
what he refers to as "actual
value assessment" which
would be fairer to all property
taxpayers.
Witty minced no words
when he condemned the recent
Suggestions for reform support-
ed by Oshawa's mayor Nancy
Diamond. He referred to her
ideas as "The Greedy Report"
which had at heart only the
City of Oshawa and not the res-
idents of Durham Region.
Amalgamation of local
municipalities would not be
ruled out Witty added, but he
stressed that it should be local-
ly driven.

Servicing your vehicle: Every woman's nightmare
_
O
get home and have your hus-
band ask "why did you pay for O
this?" Don't be afraid to ask .¢
questions, it's your car and F -
your money.
There are many places to
get your vehicle serviced.
Companies spend huge dollars
advertising to gain and keep
your business. They know if
they provide good service,
don't overcharge or replace
pans before they are needed,
they will keep you as a client.
And you will probably tell
your friends. If you are not
getting the service you want or
deserve, I suggest you look
around and find a company
that will look after you,
respect your needs and your
finances.
Terry MacDonald -Cadieux
is a Professional road racing
driver. She conducts women's
car care seminars throughout
Canada and the United
States.

king your car in for
T
ervice is usually
iewed by many
women as an unpleasant expe-
rience - similar to going to the
doctor for that dreaded yearly
physical. You know there is
something wrong with you,
but you're not sure what the
problem is or how involved
the cure will be.
These same feelings can
exist when it's time to take
your little car in for service.
You know it's not been feeling
or running right, but you're
not sure what the problem is or
how involved the cure will be.
Those service men are going
to examine your little car's
private parts; then they will
tell you what they found.
Usually, they use big words
they know you won't under-
stand; just like the doctor. He
say you have ---, all it means
is a common cold, but the big
words scare you. The
doctor/service man becomes
the authority, and now has
what seems to be, full control
Of your emotions and wallet.
Since they are the profession-
als, you accept what they say;
not as if you understand, but
you will go along with any and
all suggestions.
Sometimes this is okay,
because you have built up a
trust factor with the doctor or
service manager. But if you
feel the slightest bit of discom-
fort or lack of mutual trust and
respect, stop at once. Trust is
key with your doctor and your
service manager.
Trust doesn't come
overnight. A new family in
town will ask around: who is
the best doctor? Does he pre-
scribe the correct medication?
Is he good with the children
and does he listen? Is he kind,
gentle and does he speak in a
language you can understand?
All these questions help find a
doctor you are comfortable
with and whom you will trust.
Do the same with the service
people who will work on your
vehicle.
When you take your vehicle
in for service, ask three very
important questions. One -
What are you going to do?
Two - WHY are you going to
do that? Three - How much
will it cost?
Now they may not be able
to answer these questions right
away. So, put some guidelines
around the job. Tell them you
Years can be deceiving
by Terry MacDonald -
Cadieux
Next week Sebring
Florida will host IMSA's
second Street Stock race, a
five hour race for the
Showroom stock drivers.
Among the 81 race cars tak-
ing the green flag will be
one of the few females in
the sport of auto racing,
Terry MacDonald -Cadieux.
MacDonald-Cadieux's
love for fast cars and auto
racing now takes her career
south of the Canadian bor-
der, as she concentrates her
1996 efforts on IMSA's
_Street Stock Series. Terry
will compete in a Pontiac
Firebird for Phoenix
American Motorsports.
Although she has been rac-
ing in Canada for six years, -
this upcoming race will be
ber 50th career start. .
` In only 49 races, oris red-
head has achieved the
"Rookie of the Year," and
'"Most Improved Driver."
During the 1995 champi-
anship, her team came
within 37 points of winning
the Championship. Owned
and managed by herself and
her husband, this deo only
had three DNFs in six
years. They also finished
85% of all races in the top
:0.
"Racing in the US IMSA
Street Stock series will
teach me how to race," says
Terry. "Over the past six
years I have learned how to
be a good driver. There is a
big difference between
driving a race car and rac-
ing the car." MacDonald -
Cadieux expects to undergo
a large learning curve in
1996.
To her credit, co-driver
Marty Miller, qualified the
#135 Firebird in 10th posi-
tion for the inaugural race
at - Daytona back in
February. MacDonald -
Cadieux started the rate and
within 30 minutes was rac-
ing/running
aceing/running in 5th. She is
learning quickly bow to be
a contender. ;
Putting all this into per-
spective, teammates John
Heinricy and Stu Hayner
have both competed in over
200 professional races.
They also took the win at
Daytona. Michael waltrip's
Daytona 500 in February
was his 300th career start.
Dave Marcus has just
placed 780 career starts
under his belt.
The year can be deceiv-
ing. "Racing in a pro series
in Canada, gives you eight
race weekends," she says.
"The cold weather makes
racing unsafe; so we didn't
start until May and finished
in September. Therefore a
driver must have talent and
instinct from the beginning,
because you don't get a lot
of practice."
MacDonald -Cadieux is
looking forward to her 50th
race in Sebring next week-
end. "I'm optiunistic we can
have a good race and finish.
I would love to finish on
the podium for my 50th
race."
Look for the GM
Goodwrench, Snap On,
Mobil 1, PPG Pontiac
Firebird racing around at
Sebring.

have a budget of xx number of
dollars. If they find the prob-
lem and can fix it without
spending over your xx dollars,
go ahead and fix it. Make sure
you find out what type of
guarantee is on the replace-
ment parts and work done. If
you don't have a realistic bud-
get and they cannot tell you
how much it will cost, give
them your telephone number
and tell them to call you with
the quote prior to any work or
other costs incurred. This way
you eliminate surprises when
it comes to picking up the
vehicle and paying the bill.
When you take your auto-
mobile in for service, give the
service person as many details
as possible; even sounds or
noises you hear often, and
where you think they are com-
ing from. The more informa-
tion you can give, the more
money you will save in the
long run. Going back to the
doctor's office: when you meet
the doctor, you tell him where
it hurts, or when you do this,
your body does that. The doc-
tor will ask more questions,
look at the areas you told him
about, assess the problem and
suggest a cure. Same with the
service personnel. If you just
drop off the car and say call
me when it's fixed, expect to
receive a very expensive bill.
You just gave them free rein to
look at and fix what they saw
broken or loose. The part they
may have replaced could pos-
sibly have had another 500
more kilometers worth of use,
while the problem you brought
it in for may have been over-
looked, simply because you
didn't give them sufficient
information of what problem
to look for.
When you get your bill,
look it over at the service
department. It's better to ask
what was this charged for, than

and municipal governments
within the proposed Greater
Toronto Area. The Region
is prepared to provide co-
operative assistance in the
formulation of an action
plan to address this need.
The report went on to say
that regional council dis-
agrees with any proposed
GTA -wide municipal gov-
ernment or administrative
body, especially the model
contained in the Golden
Report, and any provincially
initiated redefinition of the
boundaries of Durham
Region.
Council strongly objected
to the dramatic shifts in tax-
ation burden onto the
Durham Region which
would result from adopting
the recommendations of the
Golden Report. Mr. Cubitt
stated that the consultant
hired by the Province has
submitted three sets of fig-
ures on the impact of this
tax shift and in all cases.
"Taxes to the residents of
Durham are up."
Council did support a
number of Golden Report
recommendations however,
the most notable being the
eventual Province -wide
equitable assessment system
for property taxes — provid-
ing appropriate transitional
measures were taken.
Council supports a system
of variable mill rates at the
discretion of area munici-
palities, with the initial
implementation to be in
Metro Toronto.
Councillor Nicholson
stated: "We keep confusing
the Golden Commission
with facts. The more facts
we present them on the tax
issue, the more their suppo-
sitions fall apart." He went
on to say that he resents the
fact that the crux of the
issue is that Toronto does
not have its fiscal house in
order and is now looking to
the other Regions to bail
them out. He said he was
"flabbergasted" when he
reviewed some of the
Toronto councillors'
expenses. "One councillor
spent over $100,000 last
year that included a tour of
the world zoos! This guy
went to China, Scandinavia
and most of Europe at the
taxpayers' expense to look
at zoos."
In addition. Council
agreed with the proposed
full
Provincial funding of gener-
al welfare assistance and
children's services.
On the matter of Health
Services, Council promoted
the idea of the Province
assuming full funding of
public health services with
offsetting adjustments to be
made through the Ontario
Municipal Support
Program.
The Report recommended
that the Province consider a
joint review with the GTA
mayors and regional chairs
of the potential benefits
which could arise through
rationalization between the
Province, regions and area
municipalities.
Other issues advocated
were: inter -municipal transit
co-operation, a review of
duplication and inefficien-
cies between the regions,
municipalities and the
Province, and a restructur-
ing of regional council to
ensure efficient representa-
tion.
Whitby Mayor Toni
Edwards summed it up by
saying the measures put for-
ward in the report were,
"equitable and reasonable
for all concerned."

'Me woman at the centre of a
sizzling business dispute has
been given 90 days to move her
fish -and -chip truck out of the
Ajax Plaza.
The decision, served up by
members of Ajax's general gov-
ernment committee at its March
7 meeting, ended a lengthy con-
troversy between the Ajax
Business Improvement
Association (BW) and the truck
owner, Whitby resident Janet
Katsigiorgis.
The dispute surrounded a van
owned by Katsigiorgis.
Occupying two spaces in the
centre of the Harwood Plaza
parking lot, the truck operated
for several months of the year.
The BIA, led by President
Henry Nelson of Nelson
Hobbies, asked the town to
refuse the owner a permit for
1996.
Prior to the meeting,
Dan 1Ndibague, MP, wish-
es to remind seniors in
Ontario Riding to renew their
Guaranteed -::Income
Supplement (GIS) and
Spouse's Allowance (SPA)
before March 31, 1996.
The GIS is a monthly bene-
fit paid to seniors who receive
a basic Old Age Security
(OAS) pension and who have
little or no other income. The
Spouse's allowance is also a
monthly benefit paid to
spouses of OAS pensioners,
widows or widowers between
the age 60 and 64 who resid-
ed in Canada at least 10 years
after age 18.
Although GIS and SPA
pensions are not taxed, the
amount of either pension
received depends on the year-
Iy income of the pensioner
and their spouse. As in past
Ajax BIA ousts chip truck
Katsigiorgis was spitting mad
over what she called the BIA's
attempts to "squeeze me out."
According to Nelson, the
truck competed unfairly with
other eating establishments and
was "a bloody eyesore." Nelson
said the BIA, which has 160
members drawn from the Ajax
business community, met with
Katsigiorgis on February 29.
But the issue wasn't resolved
"We had a bunch of restau-
rant owners out," he said. "We
had quite a discussion. We
spent about 20 minutes on it,
arguing about it back and
forth."
Nelson said Katsigiorgis
undercut existing food outlets
and ruined the look of the plaza,
which has undergone several
business improvement initia-
tives, including $150,000 in
general improvements, tree
planting and landscaping -
"I've had ordinary customers
who had nothing to do with the
plaza come in and complain
about that eyesore out there."
Nelson said of the truck. -She's
(Katsigiorgis) offered to clean
up but we don't want that. We
want it out. It's not fair - busi-
nesses are paying business taxes
and rent and (an additional)
BIA tax. We have a 550,000
budget for the BIA area coming
in from the merchants.-
Town
erchants"Town Clerk Joe Tremay says
Katsigiorgis, who has operated
the business since 1984, had a
written agreement with the
town allowing her to operate in
the town -owned parking lot. In
addition, she had to buy an
annual $200 catering vehicle
licence.
An initial visit to the truck,
which Katsigiorgis said was
closed since January due to the
cold, confirmed Nelson's opin-
ion. The truck had flattened
tires and was badly in need of a

occasion, visitors noted that the
tires had since been pumped up
and the garbage removed.
Katsigiorgis said recently
there was nothing wrong with
the truck and vowed to fight the
BIA over what she says are her
rights as a business owner.
She said she went to court
twice in the past to keep her
business operating, adding that
the chip truck operation has a
40 -year history in the plaza and
was first owned by a Justice of
the Peace named Frank Smith.
Pnor to her operation the spot
in the plaza was occupied by a
man named Pilling, who was a
friend of noted politicians in the
town.
"I'm not going to roll over
for them;' said Katsigiorgis of
the B1A_ -Before I bought the

If there are any differences
between the income amounts
reported on the tax return and
the GIS or SPA form. the pen-
sion is calculated using the
higher of the two reported
amounts. Thus it is important
to report all income on
renewal forms as on tax
returns.
"I urge pensioners in our
area to ensure that they have
renewed their GIS/SPA
before the approaching dead-
line. If they have not received
their renewal applications or
want further information. they
may call Human Resources

isn't the only vending operation
in the plaza, she added. -1 see a
hell of a lot of vendors there.
I'm tired of being pushed
around and I ain't going to be
pushed around."
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish
said that usually the vehicle
owner would be required to
move the vehicle within 30
days and that the 90 -day stipu-
lation was an act of good faith
on the pan of council.

A History on the wiles of St. Patrick's Day
by Steve Bond
Each year on March 17th,
most people probably believe
that St. Patrick's claim to
fame was brewing green beer
and composing the song,
"When Irish Eyes are
Smiling." Nothing could be
further from the truth. St.
Patrick's Day honours
Ireland's beloved saint and
the day commemorates, not
his birthday, but the date of
his death. Record keeping
being somewhat vague back
then, researchers have
tracked down his birthplace
to Dumbarton, Scotland in
387. Pat's father was a
Roman commander named
Calphurnius and his mother
was a niece of St. Martin of
Tours. Because air travel was
several centuries in the
future, the variety of "tours"
would have been limited to
bus trips — probably to
Stonehenge or maybe
Graceland.
At age 16, Patrick was
captured by Irish Pirates
called Gaels, taken to
Ireland, and held as a slave
for six years, during which
time he tended sheep and
pigs. He escaped to Brittany
and made his way to the
monastery of his great uncle,
the aforementioned St.
Martin, where he spent eigh-
teen years studying to
become a missionary. His
Christian journeys took him
all over the British Isles
including Wales and Scotland
where you will still find
places named after him. His
best work, however, was
saved for Ireland, where he
spent many years preaching,
teaching, building churches,
and performing the odd mira-
cle in his spare time.
His bitter foes at that time
were the Druids, a charming
group of pagans who were
into cheery activities such as
human sacrifices, painting
themselves blue and howling
at the moon. Despite these
somewhat whimsical quali-
ties, they were also superb
poets and harpists, and when
Patrick finally converted
them to Christianity, he
taught their arts to his many
students. The harp went on to
become the badge of
Christian Ireland and is still
embroidered on the green
flag of the country.
The Shamrock had long
been considered sacred by
many diverse pagan groups
world wide, but Pat made it
his life's work to give the
plant a Christian application,
which gives you an idea of
how much time they had on
their hands in those days. He
claimed the three leaves rep-
resented the Trinity: the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
This should not be confused
with a wedding reception at
Hockey Hall of Fame goal -
tender, Ken Dryden's house,
which would be the father,
son and the Goalie Host.
March 17th also has agri-
cultural significance, as it is
traditionally the day that the
livestock are turned out to
pasture for the summer, and
the day that potatoes are
planted in Ireland.
Tradition has it that St.
Patrick drove the snakes out
of Ireland by beating on a
drum, which would explain
the total lack of snakes at
most rock concerts.
Paddy's saintly career
came to an end on March
17th, in the year 493. If you
do the math, he was 106
when he sipped his last pint
of green beer. He was laid to
rest in a place called
Downpatrick, which is some-
what appropriate if you think
about it.
Irish date bread updated
Tthe current craze for
bran as a key element in
healthy diets. In a 1920s
index card recipe collection,
one of the first offerings
was "Irish Date Bread,"
which listed bran as an
ingredient.
But, the recipe's ingredi-
ents listing shows its age by
calling for "melted fat."
Also, the cook is told to sift
the flour, not once but
twice. Today's cook, hardly
knowing where to look for
"melted fat," would use
melted margarine instead.
And who sifts flour any-
more?
Nevertheless, with some
minor adjustments to bring
it into step with the 1990s,
the recipe is still a palate-
pleaser today. Besides
switching to modern-day
margarine and all-purpose
flour, the updated version
adds half a carp of dropped
pecans (or walnuts) to a half
a cup of chopped dates

A winds of change are far
Oless dramatic in children's
to
fashions, according to
Rick Stefiszvn, fashion
L director, children's wear
Zat Sears Canada. "The
focus revolves around two
key themes: simple, easy-
going updated classics
and an ongoing celebra-
tion of the outdoors," he
says.
"Whether it's for them-
selves or their kids, con-
sumers are investing their
hard earned fashion dollar
into basic quality items
that are practical, versatile
and that stand the test of
time. Gone are the days
when people chased the
latest fad. They're looking
for updated pieces that
won't go out of style after
one season. This trans-
lates well into kidswear,
where kids'll probably,
outgrow their stuff before
they outwear it."
Part of Stefiszyn's
responsibilities as fashion
director for children's
wear at Sears Canada,
include travelling regular -
dated classics
f4o;ita fit, L"4 U V4t 14soozz4
ly to Europe, the United
States and throughout
Canada to study the latest
colours, fabrics and
styling trends. His
research is then adapted to
Sears own kidswear lines.
For instance, this spring in
boyswear some European
retailers are combining
blue denim separates with
a lot of taupe, ecru and
beige for a subtle, neutral
look. In Canada, Stefiszyn
says, brighter accent
colours such as orange,
red and yellow are more
popular with boys.
Below is a brief outline
of what Stefiszvn feels are
the key issues for kids this
sprung:
Denim
'Vo question, denim
continues to play a strong
role in kidswear. Denim is
everywhere ... from short-
falls, dresses and jumpers
for girls to jackets, over-
alls and shorts for boys.
Pair it with a denim or
denim -related top and
kids have got an easy-
wear, easy -care look that
almost nothing can beat.
However, "stone -
washed blue" denim is the
look in denim this year.
As well, equally important
in girlswear is embroi-
dered detailing along the
pockets of denim bottoms
and on denim shirt collars
and pockets. Although the
colour blue is tried and
true in denim jeans, pastel
pink is popular with girls.
Colours and Patterns
For girls the season's
colours are considerably
softer ... blues, pinks and
yellow as an accent
colour. Floral prints con-
tinue to dominate the
scene and daisies will be
the flower of the hour.
Watch for them on dress-
es, as well as accents on
gingham blouses and T-
shirts. For boys, on the
other hand, bold brights
are in, with orange play-
ing a major role. And,
with both genders blue
and white colour combi-
nations are very strong.
Vests
As far as boys and girls
are concerned, vests are
here to stay. A denim vest
paired with a flower
embroidered T-shirt for
her or a bright orange T-
shirt
shirt or henley for him
may be all they need to
get them through the sea-
son.
Licensed Apparel
Kids just can't get
enough of their favourite
licensed apparel. This sea-
son's favourites continue
to include Looney Tunes
and sports -related prints
like NBA teams such as
the Toronto Raptors or the
Vancouver Grizzlies, and
other athletic licenses.
Accessories
Denim and straw hats
with flowers or a bow trim
are a definite fashion must
have for her. While back
packs in either nylon, can-
vas, or denim remain a
fashion staple with kids of
all ages.
Shoes
Palladium canvas
oxfords or any athletic
boots, especially the pad-
dock boots, are comfort-
able footwear items kids
will be demanding this
season.

Elder abuse — a modern scourge
by June Crabtree
'Honour thy Father and
thy Mother' this quotation
expresses thoughts that Jean
Hunt, a member of the Elder
Abuse Awareness
Committee of Durham
legion, cares deeply about.
She explains the appalling
plight of abused seniors, and
what she is trying to do
about it.
.Jean is involved in a pro-
ject named the Senior Peer
Helping Group, where
trained volunteers act in
strict confidence, to provide
seniors with guidance in get-
ting advice and help.
Statistics taken from the
Elder Abuse Project
Stmornary Report are shock-
ing. Of all elders now living
in private dwellings, 4%
reported some form of
abuse.
Financial - the most fre-
quent - means bank
accounts have been cleared
out, and property sold.
Assaults may be physical or
sexual and include verbal
aces of violence. Neglect can
mean isolation, withholding
food, no visitors.
These abused seniors, usu-
ally shut-ins, believe it's
their own fault.
Hunt says "Ignorance is
the main problem"
In 1980 little was known
about 'granny -bashing' then
surveys were done and the
statistics show an overall
rate of 4% of abuse in
Canada.
In 1993 the Ontario gov-
ernment allocated
$647,000,000 for the five-
year plan to streamline all
care for the elderly and yet
"People still don't believe
this is happening," Hunt
says, "and they need to
know."
How should the general
public be informed?
Community agencies need
to train their staff to recog-
nize abuse and the
Community needs to provide
support to assist seniors to
be as independent as possi-
ble in shopping, personal
etre and meals.
In Toronto. Metro police
are developing a manual to
help police recognize and
deal with these issues. St.
Joseph's hospital supplies
literature to pharmacies and
dentists outlining the signs
and symptoms of abuse.
Everyone is responsible
for this issue.
Family caregivers, usually
a daughter, should know
where to get help when
needed or under stress. It's
not easy juggling relation-
ships, a spouse, children
while coping with fragile
forgetful parents too.
Seniors need to be educat-
ed about the dangers of iso-
lating themselves or giving
up their responsibilities.
Learned helplessness, or
refusal to accept help can
have serious consequences.
It's important that they keep
active, arrange control of
their affairs, arrange for a
Power of Attorney or better
yet, two — to watch over the
senior's assets and make
sure they're not sold out
from it them.
Seniors should be wary of
sharing a home and should
try to maintain community,
church and personal con -
facts.
Everyone should try to
ensure that the public, the
media, medical and social
care professionals within the
community, know how to
recognize and understand
abuse.
Prevention of this problem
can only come about by
more education, research
and advocacy. And through
legislation and the Criminal
Code.
The law now says that
abuse in nursing homes must
be reported and in "homes
for special care". abuse may
be reported, but abuse in pri-
vate homes, need not be
reported.
How do we get the infor-
mation out that all abuse
should be reported? "Inform
the general public" Hunt
says. "A campaign is needed
using television, radio, and
newspapers.,,
In Durham, there are
37,000 people now over 65,
a figure that will increase by
68% by the year 2010. In our
increasingly violent society
abuse will only escalate.

Local soccer players are making the right "connection".
Many young soccer kids have taken advantage of a winter
indoor program at Lincoln Alexander Public School. And
currently, the up-and-coming stars are benefiting from a
March Break program; all co-ordinated by the Soccer
Connection.
Providing instructional programs to the new generation,
the Soccer Connection has given the local players a wealth
of coaching talent from the surrounding area to instruct
them. Head coach Mark Purdy, Scott Landry, Carl Fletcher
and goalkeeping coach Paolo Ceccarelli have lent their ser-
vices to player development.
"What we want to do is improve their soccer skills and to
take them to the next level in skills development," said
Purdy. "To do that we're focusing on the basics of the
gam...
All four coaches have played or are currently playing at
the professional or national level. Providing year-round
training at a variety of levels for young soccer players in the
area, the Soccer Connection hopes to promote the sport as
well as improve the calibre of players and coaches.
"Some of the players here need coaching," said Purdy. "A
lot of their parents don't know a lot or enough to teach
themselves. What we're trying to do is give them a better
understanding of what they're doing."
Purdy is the most experienced of the four coaches. He has
seen action with the Toronto Blizzard and Hamilton Steelers
of the Canadian Soccer League, won two Ontario
University Athletic Association titles with the University of
Toronto and spent one year with Millwall in the English
league.
Landry also has a long list of accomplishments and feels
the Soccer Connection is a good opportunity for young boys
and girls to hone their skills.
"We really stress the basics," said Landry. "We give them
helpful hints from our experience. I find this camp is more
down to earth and personable.
Coaches at the camp won't be teaching the youngsters
how to do a bicycle kick or any other fancy footwork.
Instead. they stress the basics and take it from there.
"The game is basically the basic things done well," said
Fletcher. "From there we can guide them."
Goaltending is not neglected. And Ceccarelli is there to
provide some of his knowledge. He spent two years in
Scotland with Dundee reserves and played with the
Montreal Impact of the American Pro Soccer League.
"When I was a goalie at this age I never got any help."
recalls Ceccarelli. "I remember how difficult it was and if I
can do something with the younger kids, 1'11 be satisfied.
Keeping with the development of the sport, the Soccer
Connection will be giving young players (16 years of age
and over) an opportunity to assist with training programs
and to work with the experienced coaching staff. The orga-
nization is also hosting a 3 -on -3 tournament in the summer
as well as a camp during July. They also plan exhibition
games and group outings to special soccer events, which
include games in Canada and the United States. For more

lightning only strikes once
The Durham West Girls' Hockey
Association recently held its second
annual tournament. With 18 titles up
for grabs, only one Durham West
Lightning team won a crown.
"It doesn't matter whether our
teams win or not," said tournament
director Dan Peroff. "Winning is fun,
but the competition is what they're
here for."
After capturing three tides in their
inaugural tournament.
the Durham teams
came up short this
time around. Three of
the five teams who
reached the finals of
their respective divi-
sions failed to score
while one team man-
aged only one goal.
Durham's Atom C.
Pee Wee C and B,
along with the Novice
B club, fell one win short of capturing
titles. It was Durham's tiniest team,
the Tyke's, who were the only
Lightning team to hoist a banner after
defeating London 7-4.
London dominated the early stages
of the game until Lightning wonder
girl, Joanna Ogilvie kicked it into
gear.
This seven year-old superstar daz-
zled the crowd while she dippsy-doo-
dled her way around defenders. She
turned the opposition inside out with
her speed and incredible puck han-
dling to score five of her team's seven
goals. Two of Durham's other goals
came courtesy of Ellen Seedhouse.
But it was Joanna who stole the
show.
"She's a dynamite player," said
coach Bill Apps of Joanna."When
you tell her to go, she goes. There's
no stopping her."
Joanna has topped
the 80 -goal mark on the
season and the team is
on an undefeated streak
which has lasted two
years. In that span, the
team has tied only once
while winning every
other game played. A
mark which Apps
believes is in the mid -
thirty's.
Despite winning just
one title. Peroff was extremely
pleased with the tournament and said
the feedback he received from other
clubs was all positive.
"It was such a competitive tourna-
ment that it was the best they've been
at all year," said Peroff.
Peroff hopes to have in excess of
100 teams participate next year pro-
viding the ice time is available. This
year s event had 97 teams, up from 63
the inaugural year.

Local high school wrestlers were hoping to tum in better performances

Two grapplers, Sheldon Shah of Ajax High School and Oren Morgan of
Pme Ridge Secondary School, returned home with silver medals while
Dumbarton's Bruno Acevedo settled for bronze. John Maclean of Ajax
