Downloading adds up for Durham taxpayers BY KEITH GILLIGAN STAFF REPORTER Provincial downloading could cost homeowners in Durham Region $100 more in property taxes. Durham's finance com- :mssioncr Jim Clapp told Re- ,:ional Council on Wednesday the Province wants Durham to find $10.4 million in 1998, R which works out to between $50 and $65 per household. Including the municipal portion of downloading, the amount works out to between $75 and $100 per household, R he added.

Since then, a group of Green- wood landowners has retained a planning consultant and come forward with a proposal to pay part of the cost of the study. The landowners submitted a proposal to the Town under which the study would be done by consultants, and have offered to pay $34,760 toward the pro- ject, with Pickering to contribute about $25,000 to cover the rest of the cost. Planning department staff rec- t ommended the Town accept the proposal, and noted in a report to Council similar arrangements r with landowners have been made t for other recent land use and de - Pickering man PICKERING — A Pickering man has won $250,000 playing the Ontario Lottery Corporation's 'Encore' game. Robert Leigh won the prize in the Dec:. 13 draw. He's 42, is a self-em- ployed plumber, and has six children to - sign studies. Town director of planning Neil Carroll told Council's exec- utive committee last week Durham Region will not allow any development beyond Greenwood's current boundaries to move forward without completion of an expan- tiion study, including in- vestigation of the im- pact of growth on the area environment. Area landowner Don Beach, who appeared before the committee on behalf of the landown- ers' group, urged coun- cillors to proceed with he study. He said Greenwood esidents want to know the de - ails of future development plans for the area "so we can all govern our lives accordingly" He main- tained the Town should not just wait for a development proposal to corne forward before dealing with the expansion issue. "The residents would like as much informa- tion as possible about what might happen in the area;" Mr. Beach told councillors. Greenwood's current population is about 235. with room within the hamlet's existing bor- ders for about 15 more people or five or six more households. In first rejecting the study proposal, Picker- ing councillors suggest- ed they didn't want the Town to spend money on a study that might otherwise be paid for by WAYNE ARTHURS 'I don't want to waste money' wins $250,000 gether with his wife, Judy. The couple have no solid plans for how they will spend the money, and intend to put it in the bank. Mr. Leigh bought his winning ticket at the News Shop at the Pickering GO station.

L IS 2H5 PHONE: 683-5110 FAX: 683-7363 Publisher: Tim Whittaker ♦ Editorial Reduced debt and taxes spell relief No sooner had the federal government announced it had slain the deficit beast than suggestions started pouring in about how it should go about spending any surplus. Tax relief? Debt reduction? Increased social pro- gram spending? More money for health care? The suggestions are as plentiful as the zeros on the national debt. Here in Durham Region, Liberal MPs and Progres- sive Conservative MPPs, naturally, differ somewhat on what the federal government should do next year with its so-called 'fiscal dividend'. Liberal MP Judi Longfield says health care spend- ing is a priority, though she remains suspicious about what the Ontario government might do with money handed down from the feds. For her part, Tory MPP and Community and Social Services Minister Janet Ecker tends to agree with Lib- eral MP Dan McTeague that some tax relief and a start toward paying down the national debt should be strongly considered. That view — debt reduction and a measure of tax relief — holds the most appeal for ordinary Canadians in terms of applying any fiscal surplus. Canadians tightened their belts along with various government levels when the Liberals took office in 1993 and announced their intention to eliminate the massive budget deficit. Consequently, they deserve some reward for their willingness to shoulder the load. More importantly, however, the focus must also turn to debt reduction so Canadians can enjoy — down the road — long-term fiscal rewards. The Chretien government is the first in recent years to meet its commitment in battling the deficit; for that it deserves credit. But again, ordinary Canadians were the people who bore the brunt of cuts in the last four years. They — you — merit some of the benefits of those efforts. By any measure, Canadians do deserve some tax relief. But, they also deserve effective fiscal manage- ment that will sustain us in future years. .Pay down the debt today and we'll reap the bene- fits — for our children — tomorrow.

How could the same government that spent the past two - plus years ignoring the wishes of the electorate have the gall to use our own tax dollars to send us questionnaires? I must be missing something here. Mike and company do not even ap. pear to understand the concepts of fair- ness, compassion, respect, tolerance or democracy. They dismiss all who seek to have their views heard as "whiners;' "complainers" and "special interest groups". They place barricades around the legislature, close the public gal- leries, trot out the police riot squads at will, and then ask us to speak up. This has to be a cruel hoax. I will fill out my questionnaire and return it, but I don't expect to be heard; that would require a government intent on listening. Sadly, we don't have that in Ontario today. William Lambert, Pickering Roger Anderson was not thrown out of office To the editor. I would like to point out the need for clarification of a letter to the editor m your Dec. 12 edition. Reader John Hillman, when com- menting on the retirement of former Regional Chairman Jim Witty and the subsequent appointment of Roger An- derson to that position, stated that vot- ers "threw Mr. Anderson out of office in Ajax". To clarify, Mr. Anderson chose to run for the position of Ajax mayor, as opposed to seeking re-election as re- gional councillor. On Nov. 10, Steve Parish was elected mayor and Mr. An- derson was defeated in his quest for that position. He was never "thrown out of office". On behalf of all Ajax residents, congratulations to Mr. Parish and to Mr. Anderson. Both have traditions of excellent leadership, and both will continue to represent Ajax very well for the next three years.

Lawyers for Crown attomev John Scott and Assistant Crown attorney Susan MacLean launched eleventh -hour legal applications on Wednesday, objecting to notices advising the prosecutors that findings of misconduct could potentially be made against them in commissioner Justice Fred Kaufman's final report. In the applications, their lawyers argued the notices were too broad and vague, therefore their clients could not properly respond to the allegations. Michelle Fuerst, Ms. MacLean's lawyer, agreed on Thursday to drop the challenge and, on Friday, after being provided with further details, Mr. Scott's lawyer, Robert Armstrong, agreed to withdraw his ap- plication as well. "We are now of the view we have the partic- ulars we require... We arc content" Mr. Armstrong said. Notices of potential misconduct findings are believed to have been sent to numerous individuals involved in the Morin case, as required under the Public Inquiries Act. Though highly confidential — since they may or may not re- sult in findings of misconduct — the notices sent to Mr. Scott and Ms. MacLean became public when they were included in their notices of application. Mr. Justice Kaufman does not have the mandate to assign criminal or civil responsibility, but find- ings of misconduct could jeopardize the reputation of those cited.

"It reinforces our practices in law," says Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board director Grant Andrews. "Our practice has been to hire Catholic teachers" Catholic school trustees launched the court challenge more than two years ago, maintaining the law — which effec- tively prevents the separate school sys- tem from discriminating in favour of Catholics when hiring and promoting was unconstitutional. Catholic schools would be Catholic in name only if the law were allowed to stand, they argued. Mr. Justice Robert Sharpe of the On- tario Court, general division, released a 45 -page decision Thursday. Justice Sharpe says the religious faith of the teacher is relevant with re- spect to teaching of religion and family studies. Mr. Andrews agrees, saying the board has a mission statement based on Catholic beliefs. "It's important that people we hire to be leaders in our system have the same philosophy." He says hiring non-Catholic teachers "has never been an issue for us" The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation was among those which opposed the challenge. Representatives argued that all mem- bers of the public should be eligible for employment at Catholic schools because bdeei116r Catholic Church MASSES: Christmas Eve 6pm, Rpm, l 1pm Christmas Day 10:30 am SEASON'S GREETINGS 55 Taunton Road Fast 619-0500, Fax: 619-0210 www.ajaxhydro.on.ca Office Closed December 25,26 and January 1,2, 1997 Come to CinepIn.

For three years now, station employees and Ex- eter students have gotten together to organize a Christmas food and toy drive for local needy fami- lies. A wrap-up party for the drive was held Tuesday at the nuclear station. "We adopt 15 families with Exeter and make sure they have a good Christ- mas;" says Don Terry, em- ployee communications co-ordinator at the station and one of the organizers of the drive. At the station, staff have collected about $6,000 to purchase gifts for the 15 adopted fami- lies, food for the Salvation Army and pyjamas and stuffed animals for the Denise House shelter for abused women and chil- dren. About three small van -loads of food and toys have also been donated by the employees for the Sal- vation Army to distribute to other needy families. At Exeter, the students have collected enough food and cash to provide Christmas dinners for the 15 families. Pickering station em- ployees actually started their own Christmas drive about 10 years ago when Mr. Terry came up with the idea. It was adopted enthusiastically by other staff and the drive has been getting bigger every year since. The Exeter students also had their own drive going which was success- ful at collecting food, but they were finding it diffi- cult to get toys for their adopted Christmas fami- lies. Then, when the station and school began to form partnerships in areas such as work co-op programs and curriculum develop- ment, it seemed natural to work together on the Christmas drive as well. -We run it in partner- ship with the students and staff at Exeter;' says Mr. Terry. photo by A.J. Groen Students at Ajax's Exeter High School and employees at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station joined forces in a bid to make Christmas a little brighter for needy families in Durham Region, and came away with quite a load of donations. In all, more than '$6,000 was raised and spent on toys and food for 15 'adopted' families.

Carolyn Prear, 23, is a finalist in two categories — Best Entertainment for a Corporation and Most Out- standing Event Under $100,000 — after planning an anniversary cele- bration in Alliston in October high- lighting Canadian and Japanese cul- ture. "We had to celebrate both aspects of the company's culture with au- thentic entertainment;' the Ajax resi- dent says of the event organized and held to mark the 10th anniversary of a company which makes parts for Honda. Ms. Prear, an entertainment ad- ministrator/event producer with for special events award roads Entertainment & Event Corporation in Toronto, organized magicians, a native Canadian dance troupe and Japanese drummers. At the request of the company, she also included a Las Vegas - style show. But the highlight for Ms. Prear was a pyrotechnic display, which went off from the centrepiece at each table at the same time. "I love blowing things up;' admits Ms. Prear, who was "really nervous" before the event, which took two months to plan and carried a price tag of $75,000. She credits her boss for "offering so much encour- agement and believing in me. Ms. Prear graduated from Durham College in Entertainment Administra- tion. She is currently a part-time in- structor in the Festivals and Events Certificate programme at George Brown College in Toronto. She has worked with several well- known Canadian entertainers, in- cluding Andre Philippe Gagnon and Alannah 'Mules, whom she brought to Ajax during last year's Home Week celebrations. The 1997 Canadian Event Industry Awards is an inaugural event that will be held in Van- couver on Jan. 27 in ��► conjunction with the first day of the 1998 Pa- cific North West Spe- cial Events Show. The awards have been created to encour- age quality of service and excellence in the Canadian special events industry and to recog- nize outstanding achievements in this field. Events arc judged on a number of criteria including originality. concept development, creativity, and success in integrating event elements with an overall theme.

Region Nose Region to issue report on odour from Oshawa auto plant supplier OSHANA — A report on an odour problem coming from Peregrine Industries will be ready in February. Residents near the plant at the southwest cor- ner of Ritson Road North and Adelaide Avenue East have complained for years about an odour problem, according to Durham Region's envi- ronmental health division director Brian Devitt. The Ministry of the Environment and Ener- gy's (MOEE) Trace Air Gaff Analysis (TAGA) mobile testing unit conducted an air monitoring survey in October, Mr. Devitt told Regional Council's health and social services committee Tuesday. The: TAGA unit first conducted tests near the plant in April. 1992 and found emissions from the factory were within ministry guidelines and would have no long-term health effects, Mr. De- vitt said. "In the last few months, there have been many more calls;' he reported. -It seems the No new playground equipment OSHAWA -- Iuco Oshawa schools have been denied in their Md to get the City to help fund m -A pla}ground equipment. The City received requests from Beau Valley Public School and Ecole Catholique Corpus Christi for funding. Although the City has recent- ly provided SI0,0(X) toward new equipment at Queen Elizabeth and Glen Street schools, it re- jected requests from Beau Valley and Corpus Chnsti for two different reasons. In a report. Stephen Bedford. community ser- vices commissioner, says the Beau Valley school area already has sufficient parkland with play- ground equipment for its population. The Corpus Christi area doesn't have enough parkland, the re- port says. but the request was denied due to the proximity of playground equipment at Laval Park and the future parkland that will be provided in the Champlain Avenue/Fox Street development. problem is more pronounced and something seems to be triggering these complaints:' Ministry official Dave Fumerton said MOEE staff have met with Peregrine officials recently to discuss complaints about the odour which is caused by N -butyl acetate. The fact that use of N -butyl acetate has been reduced at the factory may be triggering other odours. Mr. Fumerton said. "N -butyl acetate is a masking odour. If you get rid of that odour, you'll smell other odours" Keith Willson, also of the MOEE, compared the odour to the presence of a skunk and per- fume in the same room; people would notice the skunk's odour over the perfume's scent. Mr. Fumerton said when Peregrine altered its incineration process in July that could have "changed the characteristics of the odour. We'll know for sure when we see the report" N -butyl acetate is the "dominant chemical used. N -butyl acetate was always within the ministry's criteria, even when you could smell it" Peregrine officials have told Mr. Fumerton more equipment is being installed during the up- coming Chnstma% shutdown to remove the odour. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said. "Waiting four months for a report when there could be a problem is unacceptable" Ministry staff spent the spring, summer and fall doing TAGA testing and will write the re- ports in winter. Mr. Fumerton noted. Mr. Devitt said if the TAGA unit picked up something significant. the Region would have been notified. photo by Ron Pietroniro He's got the music in him...

Police officers escape injury as stolen van narrowly misses them OSHAWA — Durham Regional Police are looking for the driver of a stolen van which nearly ran down two officers Wednesday night. The 17 Division constables were responding to a 911 call about 7:45 p.m. regarding several youths drinking in a vehicle in the parking lot be- hind e hind 275 Wentworth St. W. The officers were provided with the licence plate numbers of the Chevy Lumina and learned i was a stolen vehicle before arriving at the scene, Sergeant.Jim Grimley said. He said the officers pulled into the parking lot, parked the police cruiser in front of the suspect van and, with their revolvers drawn, ordered the two occupants out. "Neither of the males complied and the driver put the van in reverse, striking a car which in turn struck two others," Sgt. Grimley said. The driver then "drove directly at the officers;' both of whom managed to get out of the vanOs path, he said. A short time later police found the vehiclem abandoned near Cedar and Taarack streets and arrested the 14 -year-old passenger of the vehicle at the scene, Sgt. Grimley said. The driver managed to elude officers. Zile Oshawa boy was charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and breach of pro- bation. scores and declared overall event winners.

Proper feeding habits and even cleaning of the teeth as soon as they erupt into the mouth are of great importance. The medical doctor's background contains very little information about preventive dental care, so you should receive advice from your dentist about the health of your child's mouth. Healthy and well -formed baby teeth make a necessary foundation for a truly permanent dentition. Paedodontists (childrens' dentists) find, that despite advances in all fields of health care, we have to deal with an increasing number of dental problems at a very early age, in some cases, soon after the baby teeth start erupting. The irony of it all is that our expertise and knowledge are more than sufficient to prevent these conditions, but non -sufficient communication between us and the general public hinders us from spreading the necessary information. Following, we will try to put down in point form some basics for good dental health for very young infants. If these are followed, then the child's own first visit to the dentist at around 2 1/2 years of age should be a pleasant experience and form a good relationship with the dentist for all the yeah to come. A Few Pointers For Good Dental Health I. Breastfeeding is preferable to bottlefeeding mostly from a medical point of view, but paedonontists and orthodontists do suggest it as well, mostly because bottlefeeding can easily become habit-forming. 2. If you bottlefeed, you may need to add a certain amount of sugar or syrup to the formula. This should be omitted as soon as a medical doctor permits it. At around 1 year of age, a cup should replace the bottle, particularly the night bottle. 3. The baby's positioning at bottlefeeding should imitate that of breastfeeding. The hold in the bottle nipple should be small enough to make the baby use the oral nuscles to the same extent as with breastfeeding - this will help proper development of the oral cavity. Not at any time should the bottle be left with the baby in the crib because: a) The contents of the bottle (even unsweetened juice or even milk) can be damaging to the teeth if left in contact with them for any length of time. b) The nipple itself, depending on its positioning in the mouth, can before a developing mouth permanently. 4. If the baby shows a tendency toward thumbsucking, we would advise a soother which, however, should never be dipped in sugar, honey or any other sweetener. It can be tiring popping the soother back into the baby's mouth time after time at the beginning, but this effort is still small compared to the trips to the dentist later on, if the baby becomes a habitual thumbsucker. At about 1 year of age, the soother should be discarded. Some crankiness may follow, but the chances of having a deformed mouth are largely diminished. 5. At teething time, any kinds of biscuits are definitely not recommended. They have a doubly damaging effect by forming a sticky, cariogenic (cavity -forming) film around the teeth and also introducing an appetite spoiling snacking habit. Rubber teething rings and soft plastic toys are excellent for the purpose. Also rubbing the baby's gums with a piece of gauze dipped in water will both relieve itchiness in gums and concurrently clean any already erupted teeth. 6. When choosing baby foods, remember that infants like bland foods. As a guideline, do not use your own taste but common sense, avoiding sugary and salty foods. Read the labels. 7.

We have all said and heard others say, "I must have caught this cold from "so-and-so". So one person wants to take responsibility for starting the whole thing - nor should anyone. When we get a cold or a flu we have no one to blame but ourselves. The immune system is an amazing little army of defense. When a foreign invader enters a person's body, the army in your body, especially your white blood cells, go on the attack. When you are healthy and your white blood cells are plentiful you can march those invaders right out of your body without noticing any symptoms. It is when we have a suppressed immune system that our army shuts down and we allow ourselves to get sick. What factors arc involved in suppressing the immune system'' Number one is stress. Stress can be physical, emotional or psychological stress. Tis the season for hustle and hustle shopping and entertaining friends and relatives all in a very short period of time. Find at least ten minutes to every day to spend by yourself and do some deep breathing exercises. Oxygen is a great healer, but we tend to breathe shallowly which doesn't bring oxygen deep into the lungs. Deep breathing does that. Indoor air quality can be very poor and is second factor in immune depression, especially for those that suffer from indoor allergies and asthma. We spend more time indoors in the winter and naturally we will he exposed to more indoor air pollutants. Try to get outside and do outdoor activities. Walking is a great activity and helps to lift the mood as well. Diet is a large factor in keeping the immune system as healthy as possible. What we don't put in our mouths is just as, or more important as, what we do put in our mouths. Refined sugar in cookies, cakes, brownies, pies, etc. are the biggest contributor to immune suppression. When we eat refined sugar our white blood cell activity, our army of defense, becomes suppressed for the next five hours. Dairy, including cheese, milk, and yogurt all contribute to sludging up the system. Dairy is a big mucus producer. When you have a chest cold or are sick for any reason, stay away from dairy altogether. Hydrogenated fats that are found in almost all packaged food including margarine should be avoided at all foods and extend their shelf lives, but they do nothing for extending our lives. They contribute to shortening our lives, though. Not only are they depressing to our immune systems, they are one of the largest contributors to heart disease. Do yourself a favour. Start reading food ingredient lists on packages and discover for yourselves how plentiful this ingredient is in food. I think you will be amazed. Foods to focus on are the following (in order of priority): Vegetables, especially the green, yellow and orange vegetables high in Beta Carotene; Fruit; Legumes (beans, peas, lentils); Whole grains; lean meats; nuts; seeds. For the first few days of a cold or flu you may not feel like eating. Listen to your body. Eat lightly but really focus on the vegetables. They contain the essential nutrients you need to heal.

As is typical of this time of year, we are faced with warnings of the necessity of increased rates, Iwo t P�5 and the major slap in the face new 1 of recordrofits from our financial GODS. What ticks me off more ' than anything, is what I consider an insult to our — J b intelligence, that the economy is growing at too rapid a pace, and rates must increase to curb infla- tion. I must have blinders on, because the only thing I see is a slight improvement over the past few years, with most people still having a major concern as to 1 t job security. If these exorbitant billion plus profits were taken out of the equation I wonder if every- tkk hing would still look so rosy?
