Parish, who is on record against a merger with neigh- boring Pickering - "there's no evidence it will save monev or give the public better ser- vice" - has honored a request from Pickering Mayor Wane Arthurs to resurrect amalgamation talks Easter !Monday in the Ajax council chambers. The March 31 date was Ajax -Pickering merger agreed on by Ajax politicians laic last month and Arthurs confirmed last week the meeting will go ahead. " we. rc on for the 31st." Arthurs says. "With the bud- get discussions we haven't had time for further talks but we're on schedule for the 31 sl." Parish. however, believes it should be the people. not the politicians, who deter- mine the fate of the munici- palities. A referendum this fall. he adds, will give resi- dents that chance. "1 think the people deserve a say in the future of their communities. The only way to put the issue to bed or get a clear man- date to pro- ceed is to oo the people."~ Putting a referendum on the municipal election ballot in November makes perfect sense. Parish points out. No extra cont will be incurred - a stand-alone plebiscite could cost S 100.000 - and the ballet would be secret and above reproach. "If the people say no, that should be the end of it." Parish notes. "If they say yes then the new council will have a mandate to proceed and they have three years to do it." The Ajax mayor says he is aware a forced merger may be in the cards - ala Metro - and wants to be prepared for that situation. "1 would like to have a full and proper referendum in my pocket to say.'ihis is what the people want'." The Easter Monday meet- ing will be open to the pub- lic, a requirement insisted on by Ajax councillors. Pickering had been pushing for more informal meetings on the merger before taking the issue into the public forum but Arthurs, who has recently come out strongly in support of amalgamation. is satisfied with the open- door format. Ajax councillors have gone on record as opposed to a union of towns - loss of control, history and identity and jobs have been cited as' serious concerns - but are looking at more partnerships that save public money. The two towns already share a hospital, animal con- trol, a trade board and the kcal United Way and recent- ly merged handi-trans opera- tions. Additional partnerships will also be on the meeting's agenda. University dream gets Regional cash start The Durham University dream is now one step closer to fruition. Durham Region's finance committee is recommending a $3io .IXX1 donation this year to help Durham College build towards university accredation status. Committee members also voted to support future councils continue the funding up to $1.75 million. The total budget for the University Centre is expected to top $12 million. Durham College has already raised more than $ I million and college president Gary Polonsky is negotiating with General Motors and other c r- porations for donations. The university centre also has the support of the provincial education ministry. Polonsky told committee members. The college currently offers a limited number of degree pro- grams through partnerships New deal on welfare? by Glenn Hendry It may be that the Province blinked, or it may be that Queen's Park has finally decided to listen to the howls of protest from municipalities on the down- loading of welfare costs. In any event, the straight, $6 billion transfer of educa- tion for social services - ealled "not negotiable" by Deputy Premier Ernie Eves only a week ago - may not be a dare deal, after all. Municipal ,Affairs Minister Al Leach said last week he's prepared to "revise' the proposal,' a comment law backed up by Premier Mike Harris. The sudden softening of the Province's downloading stance is welcome news to Ajax Counciillot Roger Anderson, who calls the present prole 'unaccept able" because of the poten- tial risk to property tartpay- ers, who world have to foot the unstable social services bill..-.�..

Copswill cost You knew the warm and fuzzy no -tax -hike news from local councils feeling wouldn't last. While town councils are doing their jobs in keeping mill rate increases at zero (although it's not over yet), Durham Regional Council's desire to keep cops on the street will cost you a little extra this year. The region's finance commit- tee approved the preliminary budget recently, a document that will see Whitby property taxes rise about $10, Pickering taxes go up $15 and Ajax taxes sky- rocket $16417. The reason? An increased police budget and provincial cut- backs. All regional departments save police had to take a cut this year to meet $b million in provincial reductions. The police budget, facing cuts that would jeopar- dize public safety,raised its share of the budget to $54 mil- lion, about half the entire region- al levy. "Council, save the police bud- get, brought in a flat line budget, but the pdblic has been support- ive of enhanced police services," says Durham budget chair Wayne Arthurs. " I liere's a will of the public for little or no growth (in taxes), except for that area." Durham councillors will get two more shots at the regaaal budget, on Manch 19 (finance) and March 26 (full council). BROKEN WINDSHIELD? NO OVERCHARGE TO INSURANCE CO.

"The bottom line is they took amounts of $35.31 and $130.93 out of my account." The health club has "the upper hand and all the power," Morgan adds, because the only way you can join is to give your personal banking information. Also, once they have access to your bank account and the money is withdrawn it's up to the customer to fight to recover it. She says she had to "throw herself down" on the floor of the bank and make "such a fuss" before she was able to resolve her problems with the automatic withdrawal process. The bank is now under strict instructions to only accept her hand-written cheque as payment. Morgan says she will not be renewing her membership contract at the beginning of April and she will be watch- ing her account "very close- ly" for any withdrawal of funds. Dowhaniuk will also be keeping a close eye on her account after cancelling her membership with the health club last month. She says she went to the club to submit the letter of cancellation - required under the contract - to White, but he refused to accept it. -I'm just waiting," she says. "Mv last payment came out March I and FI I be watching very closely to make sure they don't keep billing me." Mousseau has a similar ,;tor:. After unsuccessfully twin-, to cancel her contract as of December, she says she thought she had "protected" herself by paying cash for her membership. Although a pay- ment wasn't removed from her account in January, a dou- ble payment was taken out in February. "I never gave them any autho- rization to go into my account," she says, adding that the club didn't tell her she was signing a perpet- ual contract. "When I tried to talk to Joe, he hung up on me and wouldn't talk.' "I never gave them any authorization to go into my account" Patti Mousseau The Durham Sun Weeltly - March 12, 1997 3 over contract White, however, says the allegations are "not true," claiming the health club does not go into members' accounts without authority. He says members know they are signing a "perpetual -- contract. which gives the club authority to access their account after one year. If the member doesn't cancel the membership, the health club can legally go into any mem- ber account to "get our dues." " If you pay for a year, auto- matically it says on the con- tract that after that year you pay on a month-to-month basis. We can go into your account and you give us the authority to do it." David Stavert, a CIBC manager who has dealt with many health club contracts, warns that clients should know it is a case of' "buyer beware" when signing a membership contract. According to Stavert, once an individual signs a contract. the health club may be given ..open-ended authority" to access a bank account. "Know what you're sign- ing," he says. "Once you sign a contract with a health club it's not the hank's mandate to interfere in a contractual dis- pute.

"We had some difficulties last summer and this is one way of dealing with them. Hopefully we can expand on them even further," Flood said. "We think it'll be suc- cessful." Leisure Services Manager Linda Cork, who authored the report to council, said the town needs to provide as many programs as possible for youth, serving prevention and intervention roles as well as recreation. "We must... establish an environment that provides encouragement. establishes respect and builds trust." Cork stated in her report. "We must also keep in mind that we are not going to provide All the answers and we must not think that we can. We are only one aspect within a total community that can help pro- vide some positive experi- ences. " Cork also said the program expansion is a "long-term prcx:ess" that will require the involvement and support of business leaders and resi- youth host race forum is rinse nsideats got io nee t ommemoraft the UnitedRyan aid Behind Ruthhnd and shaping their expexta- racism through doe eyes of Nations bma national Day for How youi we the tzsoh tions for the future." ^ youth, says members of the the Elimination of Racial "is the key to this yews flume, LaW youth will pont on the Pickering Advisory is 'ittauugh vew. prngtam, which incardes drA- Comokeeon Rase Relations Our Eyes.

Financial sup- port will also be needed for the Celebration of Youth event while the teen dance (May or June) is expected to be self-sufficient. Town councillor Joe Atkinson said the program should "go a long way" in providing activities for youth. "These are small wins. But small wins lead to big wins," he said. "The best thing about this report is that it doesn't try to change the world tomor- row. It deals with one or two events that ace winnable." d March I2, 1997 The Durham Sun VNeeldv Editorial Opinion .......................... Say no to Bill 84 Professional firefighters who serve Ajax. Pickering and Whitby make sense when they voice their opposition to the provincially initiated changes in Bill 84. The privatization of firefighting resources appears to be a curious step backwards to the 1800s. History records how towns and cities in England were left with virtually no fire protection save for insurance companies. The insurance com- panies, as part of their service to policy holders and to protea their own financial interests. hired volun- teer fire brigades. When an insurance policy was sold the building owner was furnished with a written document or policy as part of the contract. With the policy came a lead, bronze or brass "firemark" or insurance company insignia to be displayed near the front door of the establishment. This proudly displayed the name of the insurance company that insured that particular building. If a fire broke out the alarm bell or cries for help would cause numerous private fur brigades - each owned by individual insurance companies - to spring into action. Each team would racer: to the scene to identifj, the firetnark. Only the fire brigade whose inxurance company was displayed would start fighting the fire. If the unfortunate owner of the burning building had no insurancc he would sometimes negotiate on the spot for the firefighters' services. Over the years the private teams were amalga- mated into municipally funded services. Clearly, there is no substitution for full-time trained firefighters in our urban areas. To short- change the public will mean, potentially, loss of lives, property and rising insurance premiums. Local govenunents should take a proactive stand in Bill 64, rather than make a big deal over whether or not the firefighters are dressed in uniform when passing out information pertaining to the bill. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs has stated .he supports privatization of some functions. He has also been apposed to hiring the firefighters who mired in 1996. It's not clear where Ajax and Whitby stand. but will[ a growing population,, to reduce tate number of firefighters is a foolhardy -budget cut. If memory serves, Pickering taxpayers paid a spo tial tax levy to defray the costs of additional fire- fighters. What happened? Will taxpayers get a refund? _. . We think not. r; ,.If adequate firefighting is important to you, get behind your firefighters and be sure to let your politicians know how you feel. +� a , l �W Letters to the Editor >..,,,...,........,...........,........... Politicians need to deal with change Our many politicians and bwU= ats don't help. Our federal and provincial governments have the mandate to tape changes. We gave it to them.

The proponents of the changes sea, to be felly canmined to needs MW expected results. How does the resident know who is best or true? Do we really know what is needed? The basic situation is that the senior levels of government spend more than we give them in taxes. They are cutting back, brat not very quickly.

The days are often spring like and warm and noticeably longer. However, the nights are still cold and a spring snow storm is always a possibility. This weather is great for getting the maple syrup running, and on those cold clear March mornings, I often see my favorite bird. The northern cardinal. Cardinals at this time of year are starting to stake out their territory. On March mornings you can often see the brilliantly colored male singing from the tallest tree proclaiming his domain. Cardinals are very territorial, they live in the same general area for up to seven years, and defend their territory voraciously from any intruder. They are one of the most colorful birds, with a bright red plumage, crested head, and a yellow bill that is offset by a black patch surrounding the bill. Cardinals were named after the Cardinals of the Catholic church because the red robes are similar to the rich, bright red color found on the male bird. The really neat thing about cardinals besides their bright red color and distinctive song, is the fact that they are one of the many species of birds that have actually benefited from humans. Cardinals are a relatively recent bird in the Ontario landscape; they have moved northward from the Ohio area in the northern part of their range. The first recorded cardinal sighting in Ontario was in 1849 in Chatham. The first nest recorded was found in 1901 at Point Pelee, and it was first recorded in the Toronto area around 1922. Over the years it has steadily moved into our province, due in part to the clearing of land and, more intriguing, the proliferation of backyard bird feeders. It is now common throughout southern Ontario below the Canadian Shield. So the next time you see a cardinal, just think that this colorful neighborhood bird would not be found in the Toronto area if our forefathers had not cleared the land, and the popular pastime of keeping backyard bird feeders was not so wide spread.

I said Ole, but surprise, surprise, I received an extra billing from my doctor. Understand here that my family physician and I have a great rap- port. along with mutual admiration and respect for each others' profes- sion/business. I asked my doctor'why' tlw extra billing'.' and he Indicated it was because of the province's B- 12 bill, the wording of which was hung on his waiting room wall.. But at no time prior to our talk was 1 advised of any extra charge. 1 was told payment was not mandatory or immediate and the office staff would accept easy payment schedules. Accordingly, I was advised the office would "allo-w the patient the dignity to pay for ser- vices." At that point 1 thought of myself adding extra charge, to one of my printing customers. I would he laughed out of business. I asked my doctor if the "XYZ" shot would increase the speed of my recovery by a couple of days and lie stud yes! It certainly begs the question: between the province's B-12 bill and the doctors, how many people endure extra days of pain and suffering if they can't afford the extra billings?

Judi Longfield has been involved with both the federal and proviriciai Liberal Parties in many capacities since 1965 including Field Organizer for the Ontario Liberal. Party from 1984 to 1987. In announcing her nomination, Longfield said she would offer a "wide range" of political experience to the community and was committed to bringing the needs of the riding to the forefront of federal concerns.

Four of the seven teams were victorious, but tournament publicity committee spokesperson Paul Kelly said it would have been a success it no local team had won. "This particular tournament is really popular," says Kelly. "Thirty five teams make it a point to come back here. It sounds like we're blowing our own horn, but we put on a really good show here." Part of the festivities included a gift pack for every player, a Much Music dance party and a surprise visit from a Agnes Jacks. Jacks makes several Ting k appearances at various ringette tournaments, not only in the province but national and international competitions.

"The kids just loved her." Reaching the silver anniversary of the tournament, Kelly says the association wanted to make this year's version a little extra special for everyone involved. "We probably spent a little more money than we usually do." admits Kelly. "Wc have a really good group of people and an association that hacks us up. We had two major sponsors (Royal Bank and Bell Canada) and over 1(M volunteers that pulled it all together." Of the 15 divisions. only two didn't have a surrounding area tram playing for the championship.

"It makes it special for me and for Ajax to see this team do well." say~ Kelly. Ajax's Tween B. Petite C. and Novice C Blue Division team came up just short in their respective championship matches. "You wouldn't have the excitement if Ajax didn't win some finals." says Kellv. "But the best women win and it's still a successful tournament no matter who wins." Whithy teams won the Novice C Blue, Major Bunny. Petite C Red. Novice C Red, and Bunnv Minor divisions at the tournament. Ten Whitby teams competed in the finals.

Now, a first round match - up with the Oshawa Le_-ionaires is set. Oshawa won the last meeting of the season 5 2 last Saturday in the Motor City, the only victory to live defeats, before heading into the post - season. But the loss wasn't a big concern for head coach John Blackburn. Missing a few players because of injuries and a short defensive corps. Blackburn promises his team will be ready for Oshawa in the playoffs. "Next Saturday is when everything is on the line," says Blackburn. "It's for all the marbles, and we'll be ready."

"They wanted to gain their confidence against us and send us a message." admits Blackburn. "We know it's going to be a tough series and we'll have a better effort. Wc've played pressure hocke% for the last two months. Oshawa has a good hockey team. but so do we. It's a whole brand new season and it's going to he scratch and claw.and a lot of fun." Blackburn said the loss may have been just what the team needed to realize what to expect in the upcoming week. "It's going to he a hell of a series,.' predicts Blackburn.

While no injuries were reported, a few hearts were broken... hearts of visiting hockey teams. Four teams out of the Durham West Girls' Hockey Association recently captured tournament titles at the 3rd Annual Tournament hosted by the organization. In the Novice "A" championship, the Lightning lost a heartbreaker. 1-0, to Brampton before the titles starting adding up. "They knew they played hard and that's all that counts," says novice coach Duncan Emslie. "We hope to return the favour when we go to their tournament and take away their trophy." It was a clean sweep for the Atom Division with the Atom "A" team's exciting 2- 1 victory over the Stoney Creek Sabres. "We were beating this team five and six to nothing at the beginning of the season," recalls Durham coach and tournament director Dan Peroff. "They surprised a lot of teams at this tournament and we knew what we were up against." Durham's Atom "BB" team was victorious in a shootout with Sarnia and Katie Dale rounded out the atom sweep when she scored her first hat trick to power the Atom "C" team to a 3-0 blanking of Mississauga. It was the first time Durham's Atom "C" team had struck down Mississauga this season. "The only way we could beat them was if we out- worked them and out - hustled them," says coach D i n o Cagguila. "And we did that." After several one- and two -goal losses to the Mississauga Chiefs, the players were excited to final win a game against them. "To beat them 3-0 is sweet victory," says assistant coach Rick Sears. "This team showed a lot of heart this time and that's what won this game." Peroff says the tournament continues to be successful and hopes the tradition will continue for years. Currently the third largest girls hockey tournament in Ontario this year's version featured over 100 teams in 19 divisions with 12 Lightning teams taking part. "We get a lot of good feedback with people liking the comfortable atmosphere and having a good time when their here," says Peroff. "I think one of the reasons we are successful is because we're situated in the mid point for a lot of teams outside the region. In that respect we're lucky, but it enables us to bring in a lot of teams." Although still considered a big tournament, Peroff would love to see it grow in size and says it would if more ice time was available. But for now, everyone on the committee wants the visiting teams to enjoy themselves and return again for future tournaments. "We always hope that everyone who comes here feels at home in Durham," says Peroff After coaching the Atom C team to victory, Cagguila was also a part of the coaching staff which took the Tyke team to victory in a shootout with the Scarborough. In game one of the tournament, the Lightning's accurate up -ice passing from the defensive corps of Cassie Britton, Siobhan Cassidy, Schancy Marescau:,and Samantha Pegler helped power the offence to a decisive 5-0 win over their rivals, the Scarborough Sharks. -- Brooke Sawyer returned to the line-up against the "Pay As You Go" 'DAILY • WEEKLY • MONTHLY R Keeping e simpl INITIATION FEE OPEN TILL MIDNIGH427-6277 2 / �� 1035 Brock Rd., Pickering / GOOD USED TIRES P2255015 ULTRAS 2 P2156515 GOODYEAR 41 P2357515 MICHELIN .-_ 4 P2055515 PIRELLI W210 4 P1857014 SNOWS 4 P1957014 MICHELIN XW4 4 Prices start from $9.95 cal Patti at ANJ Tires 420-3686 .e -e...:: ....s'....y ;:w3r...-..6.x':.•a .:,tr.v? _ft 0 44, Mississauga Chiefs after missing a recent London tournament. She helped strengthen an offensive squad of Laura Waters, Jennifer Wakefield, Jamie Tostik, Ellen Seedhouse. Kirsten Roach, Tracy Kish, Jamie Gooding, and Meghan Edwards to a convincing 41 victory. Scarborough would be Durham opponents in the championship match. The highly motivated Sharks played brilliantly and fought the Lightning tooth and nail. A 0-0 regulation draw set up an exciting and tense shootout for the title. Lightning goaltcnder Katie Caggiula threw a net over the Sharks and Jamie Tostik game -winner for the Tykes sealed the crown. That same weekend, the Lightning Tykes played their final games of the Timmie Tyke Tournament- They lost both games to boys' teams from Brampton and North York, fighting hard and showing incredible d e t e r m i n a t i o n. Overshadowing the losses, the Tykes took pride in playing in the 3,000th Timmie Tyke game and were pleased in receiving recognition for their fundraising efforts, which were televised. The coaching staff' of Jim Gooding, Dino Caggiula, Harold Zorn, Tim Wakefield, and trainer Ann Seedhouse are proud of the girls in their understanding and effort on behalf of the Easter Seals through the Timmie Tyke Hockey Tournament.
