(2, 0 " e4 5 U,.), Daffodil Days buy hope This week marks the beginning of a special time in Durham Region, signified by bright flowers and lots of hope. April and Spring are here to kick off the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil Days, a time when buying a bunch of daf- f6dils will mean buying a big bunch of hope for millions of Canadians. The West Durham Chapter of the society hopes to raise $448,000 this year, with 5235,000 hoped for from this month's door-to- door canvass drive, says fundraising chairper- son Leanne Lewis. "I know these are tight times but more than half of the money raised comes back to Durham Region so I hope people are generous when canvassers knock on their door," she says. "Cancer affects everyone. One in three Canadians will get cancer in their lifetime." Twenty-two per cent of the money raised pays for patient ser- vices provided by local volunteers, such as driving patients to appointments in Toronto, and support groups run by volunteer health care professionals. Another 18 per cent of the money goes into education and prevention, including seminars, workshops and news releases about breast cancer, nutrition (about 35 per cent of cancers are related to what you eat) and skin cancer.

Sixty years ago barely 20 per cent survived. Still, an estimated 61,000 Canadians will die from cancer this year and the disease costs the health care system $3.5 billion per year, mak- ing donations from the public even more ne- cessary. The public will get their chances to help this month during Daffodil Days, when the Durham chapters army of volunteers makes its rounds. If you missed your canvasser, buying a bunch of daffodils for just $4 (the local goal is to raise $54,000 from the sale of flowers) will also help to fight against the disease.

In the meantime, Walls was ordered to cool his heels at home, with pay. It's a situation he doesn't like and he accused council of having a "hit list" with his name on it. "Obviously I'm on the list. rm in the position of saying 'no' to councillor spending and some of them don't like that. They obviously have the feeling rm not giving them the right fig- ures," he said. "I think they're picking on me and trying to embarrass me." Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs implied all department heads, as well as council, should take the blame for the oversight. adding that he expects the audi- tors to confirm that the transfer payment cuts - as well as the timing of this year's budget - led to the glitch. -rhe budget was effectively done twice. When it was pre- pared the first time the provin- cial figures were not yet avail- able and staff, as they were packaging up all the information (for the second look)..some- where in that process is where the $900,000 went missing," Arthurs explained. "It got lost in the translation." Anhurs pointed out it's unlikely anyone will be fired over the glitch. "I wouldn't go as far as to suggest someone might lose their position over this but it's being treated seriously by council. There has to be accountability somewhere on this one." As for Walls, he insists he has done nothing wrong and is less than happy with his treatment by council. "I have no idea what's in their mind; they have a hidden agen- da, perhaps. They certainly have unusual ways of doing things," he said, adding his wife is tak- ing the situation harder than he is. "1 think we'll all survive this.

Plus all the other annual chores which allow us time for nostalgia; remembering happy times when Faster meant a whole new outfit, shiny shoes, visits -- to church and from the Easter Bunny — and of course. the big family dinner. Of course, weather-wise, Easter is always a grab-bag. Celebrated on the "first Sunday after the paschal moon," which may be anytime from March 22nd to April 25th, Easter can also revive some not -so -happy memories of mornings when, shivering in our new Spring coats, we braved the walk to church in bone -chilling cold. Hopefully, this year, we can expect some warmth Also the period of Passover, this is one time in the year when both Christians and Jews find reasons to honor their individual traditions and beliefs. It is a special season indeed. But while Easter remains a time of newness and reflec- tion and rebirth, it has also become a time for an annual food drive in the greater metropolitan Toronto area. A drive which, admittedly, does well each year as warmer weather lifts our spirits, making us want to fill a beg with food for those less fortunate than ourselves. We don't like to brink of families starving, right hese in the land of plenty. Children going w bed hungry is not nomtaUy a topic for conversation around the dimer table at Faster. But fwu are facts and the reality is that, even before this recession hit, a Food Bank had become a necessity in Ajax sad Pkkning. In our rush to get an with our lives, how easy it is to forget thorn less fortunate. And to forget that the Food Bads eat every day of the year for some people -- not just at Christrnas and Fasterh is never too late to fill a bag and deliver it: the need is, sadly. always there. The Salvation Army responds, year -'round, to the needs of the hungry in the Ajax/Pickering area. By calling them at 686-1264, you can arrange to drop off a bag for the Food Bank at any tune which is suitable to you. 7b their credit, many of the larger food stores now maintain regular drop-off areas when bags of food can be left at the end of any day's shopping for pick-up by the Sally Ann. Easter is a glorious dyne of renewal. The sun is warm these days, the gnaw is growing. and the birds ate back to greet us every moming. Yes, life really is good in the land of plenty. ti Well, isn't it? Lam, za z� Ei4u4 Hydro responds Dear Sill: The new "Face Off Column" in your February 28th issue, raises some interesting questions regarding the most effective delivery of Hydro services. The topic is timely because the Macdonald Advisory Committee on Competition in Ontario's Electricity System is cur- rently undertaking hearings across the province on this very subject. The Committee will report to the Ontario Government at the end of April. The electricity system which has served Ontario so well for most of this century is clearly in need of reform. Ontario Hydro's cost of generating electric power represents about 70% of the electric bill, and many would argue that this business must be opened up to greater competition, and to an open market. Ontario Hydro's cost of transmitting electric power from the generating stations to the municipal electric utilities, represents a further 15% of the electric bill. On the whole, municipal utilities would argue that this should remain in public hands so that we can be assured of a reliable and fairly priced supply of elec- tric power to all parts of the province. STEPPING STONES rgeO)TIAER USS ME , SO" TO YOU 90TA(ULD LIKE To TEETER - TER W1TIN ME? MY "e IS DELILW, ?RE DUR11AiA SUMO INMSTUN6 Ct1AMPlold, ...&W YOU ARE? Your municipal electric utility's costs typically rep- resent the last 15% of the electric bill. The most recent data (1994) on 115 participating Ontario Utilities, compares such key indicators is the average residential bill (1000 kWh/month), OM&A (Operations Maintenance and Administration) Costs per Customer, and Customers Served per full time Employee. Our own data, which is current, and which compares Pickering Hydro these utilities, is impres- sive. It has been almost 16 years since Pickering Hydro was established, our utility is almost debt free, and rates are significantly below those paid by Ontario Hydro Customers, a true sign of our success. Lastly, our Commissioners are appointed by Pickering Town Council, and I am satisfied that this process is very objective, having been invited to pro- vide input. Thank you for this opportunity to respond to this column, and chairs for raising a very timely issue. Yours truly, I Wierstna, P.Eng.

I had the pleasure of chairing the region -wide challenge again this year. A tip of the hat to Pickering's Larraine Roulston and Ajax's Bob Bailey for their help, as well as Pickering's Steve Brake for coordinating the results accumulation. The overall urban winner was the City of Oshawa, with only 3.80 kilograms per capita going for disposal, while Scugog was the best rural municipality with only 2.87 kilograms per capita going to waste sites. Also, thanks to J&F Haulage for their sponsorship of awards! G� Sound Off A tale of two cities emembering back to our school days and the Dicken's classic, "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." I cannot help but compare Ajax and Pickering and their totally different approaches to the handling of taxpayer money. At this critical budget time, it is bard to imagine that Pickering Council can spend days of budget meetings plus (according to some coun- cillors) many hours preparing for the budget, and yet lose track of nearly a million dollar annual shortfall of funds. In today's information age of computers, there is little excuse for miscalculating this huge sum of money — a significant amount by anyone's standard; to, in essence, lose, misplace, or forget in one's calculations? We are lucky in the Ajax & Pickering area to have friendly bank faces and professional staff whenever we deal with our local financial institutions. As a 25 year businessman, I appreciate these qualities. However, when I recently looked at all the charges I was incurring on one of my accounts, I shuddered. At about the same time, I incurred an extra charge of $25 for an overdraft privilege, I had several thousand dollars lying dormant in another account in the same bank. Knowing that I was being ripped off, I called my local bank branch contact of 25 years, only to find out that someone in a bank phone pool in downtown Toronto was answering my call. My local contact, "SC," would have resolved my prob- lem immediately. Not so with the downtown phone pool which I ceased speaking to, unsuccessfully, 12 minutes later. While banks generate all-time record profits in this recession, with people not only losing their jobs, but their homes as well, it reminds me of the banks' golden rule. Those who have the gold.- make the rules! An overflow audience was on hand to show its appre- ciation to Alex McMurray, who has just retired as one of "Durham's finest" deputy -police chiefs. Joining the Ajax Police Department 31 years ago, Alex, with the support of his wife. Eileen, made policing his career. As a very young man, I remember Alex coming to town. We all lose something when someone of his cali- bre retires! My best to Alex and Eileen, and their daugh- ters, Sharon and Tracy. Equally interesting is how the shortfall will now be made up. Councillors have quickly suggested axing projects of dubious ben- efit, such as footings for a future pedestrian bridge over Highway 401. It begs the question: if we can live without it now (to cover up for the mistake) couldn't we have done without it in the fust place? Not all politicians have the same approach. And that brings us to Ajax, that just celebrated with its staff, the real savings created by their "STARS" program in which staff has been encouraged to bring forward suggestions that contribute to the efficiency of run- ning the town. The result is savings over the years of millions of taxpayer dollars by finding a proverbial "better way" to run the town. I have always believed Ajax and Pickering should become one single, more efficient municipality. Pickering could start right now, by adopting the highly successful "STARS" program from Ajax. Don't bet on it happening. Speak Easy... What does Easter mean to you? Asked around Pickering.

Construction of the high- way past Markham Road (pan of the western portion has already been completed and the leg to Markham Road was approved last November) is still under review by the Mike Harris government. But the min- istry was recently given the go-ahead to plan the next three legs of the road, which will take travellers east to B rack Road. The idea, project study director Paul Jankowski told Pickering council Monday night, is to be ready for con- struction if the portion east of Markham Road is approved, adding that stop- ping work at Markham Road would add to existing traffic problems in the eastern GTA. "The main objective of this study is to find a solu- tion to the Markham Road issue which can be imple- mented at the same time (as the first stage)." The ministry team has already selected a preferred route, which would see the highway cut across the top of the Seaton lands and between Brougham and Greenwood. The project is also well into an environ- mental assessment. The 65 -km leg from Hwy 410 in Brampton to Markham Road is scheduled for completion late next year, with a price tag of approximately $1.2 billion. The highway will be a toll road, however, with revenue expected to quickly offset capital costs. The rest of the extension (the dream is to extend the road to Hwys 35/115) is also 65 km long. "It will be a massive undertaking," Jankowski said. No time frame has been given for construction of the eastern legs, he added. A public meeting on Hwy 407 will be held Thursday at Kahn Auction Barns on Brock Road, between Taunton Road and Highway 7.

LCBO union seeks Ajax support by John Cooper The provincial govern- ment's plan to privatize the Liquor control Board of Ontario (LCBO) will increase social problems associated with alcoholism and boost the cost of police and health care programs, Ajax Council heard on April 1. Ray Gorse of the Ontario Liquor Boards Employees' Union asked for a motion supporting the union's posi- tion of keeping the LCBO in the public domain. The Ajax LCBO outlet employs 17 full and part-time work- ers. Groups like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and the Addiction Research Foundation have come out strongly against the plan to privatize the LCBO, said Gorse, adding that the experience in the U.S., where 32 or 50 states allow privatized liquor sales, contradicts the government's contention that liquor prices will decrease and selection will increase. In fact, "stud- ies show a price increase" as retailers try to maximize their profit from sales after government taxes are taken off, he said. A privatization initiative in Alberta has been a dismal failure, said Gorse. "Increased availability means increased consump- tion and increased costs in health care and policing." As with cigarettes, retail- ers in a competitive market may be tempted to sell to minors to make ends meet. "Chances are, the people you least want to get the product will get it," Gorse said. Selection is also likely to diminish as popular brands outmuscle their smaller competition on the shelves. Products from big U.S. firms will "edge out" many small Ontario wineries that have traditionally used the LCBO for getting their product into the marketplace. Mayor Steve Parish said later that council reserved judgment on the request. "I don't think any member of council was prepared to bring anything forward on it. I don't know if anybody feels comfortable doing any- thing about it now," he said. "Frankly, I don't see the need to rush to privatize the LCBO since the LCBO con- tinues to serve the needs of the consumer. I think there's a lot of comfort that people get from an establishment that is strict in terms of deal- ing with minors. I think par- ents would have the feeling that if it were in the comer grocery store that there might be a profit motive to sell to people who are 15 or 16 though they may look 19 or 20." —� CECILF&t Monday's - Free Pool & 15¢ Wings Wednesdays Coming Soon - Comedy Night Thursdays - Exotic Male Dancers r Friday's & Saturday's �' Jack Pot Karaoke (905) 837-2266 1010 Brock Rd.

Fluorescent lamps use less energy Compact fluorescent lamps use up to 75% less energy than a standard incandescent light bulb. A 15 watt compact fluorescent bulb will give you about the same amount of light as a regular 60 watt incandescent bulb. The best locations for these bulbs are fixtures where the light is on three or more hours per day. These bulbs also last up to 10 times longer than a standard incandescent bulb, so they are perfect for hard to reach locations. Remember that the amount of light a bulb provides is measured it lumens and not watts. Consult your local lighting retailer about the benefits of compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Of course hoping sales would lean towards the love side. Dodge wanted the intro- duction into the market to have a distinctive splash and memory. And that it did. Now in itis 3rd model year, consumers are still undecided whether they like the look of the Dodge Ram. But Dodge feel the marketing and redesign has created a true success story. The Ram certainly gets noticed on the streets. It looks like a baby MAC truck coming towards you. Certainly smaller vehicles will get out of the way as this RAM has a way of intimidating with stocky muscular shape. During the fust year of production, Dodge dealers sold 18,300 vehicles. The following year that number increased to just over 20,000 units. Are people still deciding whether they like the look or not, or has the RAM grown on you? Last year Dodge took another step out of their conservative mold, into the courageous world of Motorsports. Richard Petty now carries the Ram colors on his racing truck in NASCARis Super Truck series. There are a few more Dodge Rams compet- ing in this series this year, although the series has only have two races to date, we donit know yet how the Ram will fair in the points championship.

"Easter Sunday is the number one Christian celebration of the year -- Christmas would be second," said the Reverend Richard Newland of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Ajax.

To understand the historical r Ile Jim Lynch BUNNY HUG: The Easter Bunny was just one of many attractions at spring [fling in the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday. This little girl loved the time they spent together. importance and spiritual impact of Easter, one has to step back in time, almost 2,000 years in fact, to the final days of Jesus' life. Perhaps the saddest part of the circumstances surrounding his death concern the methods his enemies used to have him killed. It's a tale of power and perceived threats to power, deceit, cowardice and, ultimately, murder, says Reverend Newland. "He was persecuted because he was perceived as a threat to some of the people in power, they hatched a plan to get him killed," he explained. -Ile religions leaders of the time used a little-known part of Roman law to allow him to be cru- cified: based on his assumption he was King of the Jews." It should be pointed out that reli- gion, at the time, was rife with cor- ruption. Jesus, who had assembled quite a large following of disciples with his teachings of love, peace and rumple widoms, was an enigma to those religious leaders: He couldn't be bought so, therefore, he bad to be killed. The "problem" of what to do with ksus was brought to the attention of ;Pontius. who was the Roman equiv- alent of governor in the Jerusalem area at the time. Pontius, says Reverend Newland, didn't really want Jesus to be killed, but wasn't blessed with a strong backbone either. "Pontius became the fall guy: he really didn't want to carry out the order, but be didn't want to get into any kind of trouble. This all occurred during the Jewish festival of Passover and Jerusalem was filled with people. It was like a World Series game, only much big- ger and the last thing Pontius warn- ed was a riot."

The next day was the Sabbath, so it was early the following morning, Easier Sunday, when some of the women in Jesus' group went to his tomb, with the intention of anointing Christ with aromatic oils for the funeral. That said Reverend Newland, was when they noticed the tomb had been opened, and Jesus' body was gone. 'That's when they met the pres- ence of the angel who told them Don't be afraid. He has arisen.'" The celebration of that day actu- ally lasts 97 days in the Christian faith. The 40 days prior to Easter (plus the seven Sundays, which are not counted) are marked by Lent, a time when followers of the faith give up something of significance to bring them closer to Jesus. (The days before Lent are also special to many Christians, with an orgy of partying and carousing, a la Mardi Gras.) Then, there are the 50 days of Easter, with events of religious importance throughout. Wh ich brings as to the Easter Bunny. That, says Reverend Newland with a grin, is obviously a product of some Madison Avenue ad executive's vivid imagination. "Having Easter eggs is a very old Christian tradition — they're sym- bols of the resurrection. But bow they got the eggs and a bunny together — that's beyond me." Whatever your reason for cele- bration this Easter weekend, may the spirit of the season guide you through the rest of the year.

SALES *SERVICE • SELECTION 1050 Brock Rd. S. Pick Unit !9 (Beside Caritty Style) 837-2906 He's not just the best in the country, but the best in North America. Pickering High School triple jumper Devon Davis has established himself as the top high school jumper on the conti- nent after an incredible performance recently at the 1996 National Scholastic Indoor Track and Field Championships. The meet featured the top North American high school triple jumpers and ranks as the most prestigious indoor meet for secondary school students. Davis, 17, collected the gold medal at the Reggie Lewis Track and Field Center on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston by being the only jumper to leap over 50 feet with a jump of 15.25 meters. The jump was Davis's personal best jump. "I was jumping up and down after that," said Davis of his 50 -foot jump. "When I jump, I don't think how far I can go. I just do my best." Competing against the best jumpers in Canada and the United States, Davis said he felt some tension. "I feel the pressure all the time," said Davis. "But I'm used to winning at my events and my coaches were counting on me and I didn't want to let them down." Californian Geraldo Williams, who fin- ished second place in the triple jump, had the long jump and the 60m hurdles. "I believe it was my fault I lost," said Davis. "Coaches aren't capable of win- ning. It's just a matter of applying myself." Because of his efforts at the meet, Davis earned All-American honors and Record numb '.Mountain bikers have broken the ice for the new season.

He also established himself as the top Canadian Junior and has qualified to compete at the Olympic trials in Montreal on June 13. A spot on the national team will be on the line, but Davis isn't expecting to knock off any of the top senior jumpers. Rich Duncan, Canada's top triple jumper, is jumping 16.4m and Davis is modest about competing with the big boys at this point in his career. "It depends on how hard I train," said Davis about the possibilities of represent- ing his country at the Atlanta Olympics. "If I train hard I can get to that point (16.4m) next year. I believe I can get into the high 15's by the end of this year." For now, Davis is focused on winning his third consecutive Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association triple jump title. But he is also focusing on earn- ing a spot on the Canadian National Junior team that will compete at the World Junior Championships in Sydney, Australia later this summer. And maybe a shot at going to Atlanta. "First I want to pass my S.A.T's," said Davis. "From there, I want to go to col- lege or university in the United States.

Beneficial as both a way of relieving stress and getting exercise, cycling continues to increase in popularity every year. Based in Whitby, the Touring Concept Cycling Group boasts a mem- bersbip that hails from Scarborough to Bowmanville and includes mem- bers up to 80 years of age. The club is a family -orientated organization that cycles as a group to many locations in Durham and beyond. Regular Sunday rides, evening mini -rides and time trials are hell from early April to late October. Special events include century, weekend and specialty rides in which they lend support to fundraisers held by many worthwhile organizations in the area. Members can join for an annual membership fee of $20, and for this they get an information package, bi-monthly newsletter, monthly meet- ings, and workshops on bicycle maintenance and touring basics. As well there is a club picnic and an awards banquet at which members' achieve- ments are honoured. Touring Concept currently has 45 members that ride in three groups: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The Sunday ride schedule includes a choice of destinations and staggers the starting times for the different groups whose goal is to have fun, enjoy the exercise and see the countryside. As members gain confidence and expertise they move up through the groups. Members are also safety conscious — all wear hel- mets. The outings are designed so that no-one gets left behind whatever the person's level of skill. Participants who can't continue for any reason, physical or mechanical, return in the company of others. Lucy Perri, public relations officer for the group, extols the virtues of cycling. " I joined as a way of handling stress and. physically, I feel bet- ter now than I did 20 years ago." The club was started in 1991 by Scottish champion Ed Reilly to bring together people inter- ested in getting into shape and having a good time. In the winter the club fea- tures speakers who share their cycling experiences in locales as diverse as Florida, Imland, Italy, and Australia. On March 21, an information night on ..Cycling around Europe" was presented. On April 4, duathlete — running and cycling — Andy Lubczynski will be featured. These meetings are free to all. Fitness has become a way of life for the group and moray use wind trainers orad cross training in the winter to maintain the edge that they have built vp during the past year. One of the special events on their calendar is the "Explore The Sbore" ride on the Whitby waterfront May 5 to support the Arthritis Society. The event is open to resideats of Durham Region, and the family entry fee includes food, drink and prizes. To register for this event or if you are interested in becoming a member call Lucy A 420- 4275.
