PICKERING —Town Council has
decided to abandon plans to purchase
automated fare technology for Picker-
ing Transit following the refusal of the
Province to extend the application
deadline to receive funding for it.
A provincial grant of about
S 130,000 to assist with the purchase of
a new 'smart card' fare system for
Pickering Transit would have been
available if the Town had chosen a sup-
plier of the new system by the end of
this year.
However, the purchase was delayed
chase on several occasions since eariv
October so the matter could be sorted
out and eventually so an extension
could be asked for from the Ministry of
Transportation. But the Town received
word in a Dec. 19 letter from the
Durham West MPP and Minister of
Community and Social Services Janet
Ecker that its request for an extension
had been denied. On Monday. Council
voted not to accept any of the propos-
als for the new system.

Former councillor calls for independent water testing of nuclear neighbours
BY MARIANNE TAKACS
STAFF REPORTER
PICKERING — Former
Ward 2 councillor Sherry
Senis is looking for residents
interested in working together
to achieve independent testing
of local drinking water.
Currently, testing for ra-
dioactive tritium in the water
is done through Ontario
Hydro, which operates the
Pickering nuclear station that
is the source of the tritium.
The station releases tritium
into the lake, at levels below
the legal maximum, as a nor-
mal part of its operations. As
well, additional tritium has
sometimes been accidentally
released from the station.
Ms. Senis and the Town
have asked Ontario Hydro for
the independent testing on
previous occasions, but noth-
ing has, come of the requests
yet, she says. She raised the
issue at a public meeting on
the Pickering station held here
by Hydro Dec. 11.
At the time, Hydro nuclear
division head Carl Andognini
said he had not taken action
on the testing because he had
heard nothing from the Town
since the request was made.
That prompted a some-
what heated exchange be-
tween Mr. Andognini and
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs, during which the
mayor criticized Hydro for
trying to pass off the responsi-
bility on the matter to the
Town, and Mr. Andognini
countered that he didn't think
Hydro should become in-
volved in the engagement of
whatever independent party
was to do the testing. Mr. An-
dognini finally said Hydro
would look after the matter.
Ms. Senis suggests a group
of residents should get togeth-
er to look into exactly what
needs to be done to get the in-

The victim, clad only in her top,
frantically hanged on the side door of a
residence shouting for help. When no
one answered she went to a second
house. awakening a woman who took
her inside.
"The officers (who responded to the
911 call) were advised she was ab-

having "copped out" on Pickering.
"There's no reason they couldn't
extend it;' said Coun. Brenner, adding
the transport minister "is not really
committed to public transit"
Pickering Transit had planned to in-
troducc the automated fare technology
in the fall of 1997.
It would have allowed passengers
to pay for their ride using a small plas-
tic card which would only have to be
passed in front of a 'reader' on each
bus.
Other expected benefits included
cost savings from elimination of the
need to print and distribute transfers,
tickets and monthly student passes;
improved cash control and audit capa-
bility; and better information on transit
performance and use patterns.
Last June, Town Council approved
an expenditure of $290,000 for the
system, a portion of which would be
paid for with the provincial grant.
In an interview, Mayor Wayne
Arthurs made light of the loss of the
grant and the abandoning of the smart
card plan, noting he'd rather have the
Town's share of the cost in the bank.
-The buses will still roll, people
will still get on them and people will
still get off them;' he said.
In her letter to the Town, Ms. Ecker
said the extensions was denied be-
cause it could set a precedent.
"(Transportation Minister Tony
Clement) feels that should he approve
an exemption for one municipality, he
would be obliged to do the same for
many others who have also requested
an exemption and that, unfortunately,
is not possible at this time:' she wrote.
al Hospital where she was treated and
released later that morning, Sgt. Grim-
ley said.
She suffered "noticeable scrapes,
swelling and bruising on her face and
eyes" and soreness from the numerous
punches and kicks to her body.
Sgt. Grimley said the victirn had
been dropped off in the area by taxi
after leaving an office Christmas party
at a local bar.
She was no more than 250 metres
from her boyfriend's home when at-
tacked.
In an initial interview with police,
the woman described her assailant as a
black male, 22 to 23 years of age with
a medium build and short afro hair
style.
The suspect may have a scratch to
his face.
Detectives with the sexual assault
unit had no immediate leads in the case
but hoped a second interview with the
victim later in the day would reveal a
more detailed description of her at-
tacker, Sgt. Grimley said.
Meanwhile, police are asking any
residents who may have information
about the case to call detectives Eva
Reti or Dave Henderson at (905) 693-
9100, extensions 5322 or 5323. To re-
main anonymous call Crime Stoppers

If not workfare,
���,�� what
Reports have surfaced lately which indicate an orga-
nization called the Interfaith Social Assistance Reform
Coalition opposes mandatory workfare for welfare re-
cipients.
At the same time, welfare rolls in Durham Region
have dropped to the same level they were at in January,
1991 when there were 12.700 welfare cases in Durham.
The November, 1997 number was 12.506.
No doubt a much healthier economy over the last few
years has helped result in fewer welfare cases. It's also
likely the 21 per cent cut in the amount of welfare
cheques implemented two years ago by the Harris gov-
ernment made it much less palatable to be on welfare.
The policy of workfare can be argued against on its
merits. Some critics claim it's not cost-effective, that it
is actually cheaper to pay out welfare claims without re-
quiring recipients to work for their cheques. Others
seem opposed to workfare because it is different from
past practice. They feel it isn't right or fair to make wel-
fare recipients 'work' for their taxpayer -funded
cheques.
The real question is this: what alternative to workfare
would critics of it implement:' Would they merely de-
mand the status quo stay in place with recipients simply
getting a welfare cheque and providing nothing in re-
turn?
The ultimate goal would be to have no welfare cases
at all. That's not realistic, but it should be the desire of
the government at least. Workfare does provide positive
alternatives to d6ing nothing and recipients must do one
of three things to get their cheques: they must get job
training of some kind. volunteer their time to non-prof-
it agencies; or work full-time or look for full-time work.
All of the components of workfare offer a positive al-
ternative to the welfare recipient. All offer a hand -up,
rather than a hand-out, which is the purpose of workfare
and not the purpose of welfare.
Taking into consideration that the economy is the
biggest factor in welfare numbers, the current govern-
ment's policies have helped reduce the number of wel-
fare recipients dramatically over a two-year period.
Workfare can only augment that downward spiral and
help many more welfare recipients break the cycle over
the next few years.

• Letters to the editor
Many questions
still remain after
welfare snitch line
editorial
To the editor:
1, for one, found your
recent editorial quite en-
lightening but from a dif-
fercnt perspective than
that of yourselves.
In the editorial on
'Welfare Reform' you
point out that in two
years of operation the
Snitch Line operated by
Janet Ecker's Ministry of
Community and Social
Services has received
26,000 calls from -hon-
est, hardworking, tax
paying Ontarians" My
first concern would be to
question your description
of the callers. If this is in-
deed, as touted, an
anonymous caller -- who
is supplying you with the
above mentioned caller
profile?
My second concern
would go to Ms. Ecker's
numbers, 26,000 calls of
which only 2,075 re-
vealed cases of abuse.
These results, by your ar-
ticle, only resulted in
benefits being reduced or
stopped. No charges. A
further 20 persons were
charged.
Does it not concern
anyone at your paper that
23,905 calls appear to
have been fruitless?
That's 91.9 per cent. That
23,905 'honest, hard-
working, tax paying On-
tarians', probably not so
anonymously, have a file
deep inside Janet Esker's
ministry waiting to be re-
visited when the next
anonymous 'hard work-
ing, tax paying Ontarian'
decides to call.
I find that your editor-
ial reads more like a
press release than an edi-
torial. You have an oppor-
tunity here to ask some
questions and make some
news rather than regurgi-
tate an early campaign re-
lease. Very disappoint-
ing!

As time goes by
Some have a lifetime, some just a day.
Love isn't something you measure that way.
Nothing's ever forever.
Forever's a lie.
All we have is between hello and goodbye.
Another year gone. My, oh my, where did the time go?
Well, I don't have to ask that question. I know what happened
to my time. 1 spent it, just as sure as I spend my money.
I keep a journal, a habit I got into 10 years ago. Every night I
write a few paragraphs on my thoughts and feelings about the day
I've just spent. This helps me try and live my life one day at a time
— like many of you I'm sure, I sometimes make the mistake of try-
ing to live yesterday, today and tomorrow all at once.
The term "spending your time" is very accurate because that's
what we do with our time. We literally spend it -- sometimes foxtl-
ishly, sometimes wisely.
According to my journal (and my journal never lies), I spent my
time well for the most part in 1997. I'm a work -in -progress, 1 am
under construction, I am -re -building- as my friends in the sports
world like to say — but I'm confident I am headed in the right di-
rection both professionally and persomally.
That's the good news for me from my 1997 journal. Now for the
bad.
I was guilty of murder this past year. Once again in 1997, far,
far toxo often, 1 killed my time. Wasted my time. Lost my time.
I could have accomplished so much more professionally in
1997. I could have helped mem people in 1997. I could have had
much more joy in my life in 1997 than 1 did. But 1 wasted my tirne.
1 plead guilty to the horrible crime of "killing time"
The thing about time is that we never know how much time we
have, or hone many new years we're going to get to ring in. Time
really is what you make of it -- you can waste a lifetime, or make
a single afternoon precious. You can live a short great life of 30 full
years and die at 30 fulfilled, or live the same year 70 timc-s and die
at 70 unfulfilled. It's up to us.
Oh, oft -- the inch count is getting a little high and it's the final
column of 1997. I better not waste my time and say what I want to
say.
I. Life is too short -- too short not to take a chance, too short to
play it safe, too short not to care. Put your love out there every day.
2. As hard as it is, we have to change. If you always do what
you've always done, you will only get what you've always got.
3. If you believe one thing, let it be this: your future does not
have to be the same as your past.
4. "Tice important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sac-
rifice what we are for what we could become " — Charles DuBois.
5. "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is
the stuff life is made of." — Benjamin Franklin.
A fresh new journal with nice clears pages await me in 1998
(and you too). Time. Have to make the best of it.
The bottom line for 1997 is just this my friends — we are all just
so damn lucky to be alive. Really, we are. Take a deep breath.
Smile. Now go out and make the most of your precious time.
There. My time's up. ,I said everything I wanted to say.
Oh, just one more thing. Happy New Year.

Durham Nuclear Awareness Project seeks tougher regulations
Durham's Nuclear Awareness Project is
calling for tougher regulations for the nuclear
industry and increased powers for the coun-
try's nuclear watchdog in light of problems at
the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.
The environmental group, which is affiliat-
ed with Durham Nuclear Awareness, has been
tracking the affairs of the Atomic Energy Con-
trol Board (AECB) fir almost 10 years and
Irene Kock, spokesman for the group, says it's
time the board's role is reviewed.
' I'he control board has to be tougher and
has to have more powers to guarantee things
aren't going to go wrong;' she says, noting one
area of concern is the safety of aging nuclear
plants.
"Right now i think our main concern is the
increasing problems that are going to be faced
as the (Pickering) station gets older." she says.
adding she'd like to see the AECB conduct a
"solid review of aging problems"
Ms. Kock says the Nuclear Awareness Pro-
ject has been calling on the federal government
to ram' out an environmental assessment at
the Pickering facility since 1994, noting 87 per
cent of Pickering residents who voted in the
Nov. 10 municipal election were in favour of a
full public review of the station.
In a letter to Ralph Gcxnlale. federal Minis-
ter of Natural Resources. Ms. Keck urges the
Hydro issues November `report
card' on Pickering nuclear station
PICKERING —The Pickerino nuclear station
has posted mixed performance results, accordint,
to the November issue of the 'report cards' now
being released monthly by the provincial utility to
make itself more accountable to the public.
The Pickering plant missed seven of 16 perfor-
mance indicator targets set for it by Ontario Hydro
but exceeded the targets in seven other categories
and met them in two. The results were as follows,
all for this year to date:
D In nine industry standard performance measures
set by the World Association of Nuclear Operators
— 52.7 per cent, meeting Hydro's target of 53 per
cent but falling short of the U.S. industry median
of 80 per cent.
0 incidents or 'events' at the station which had to
be reported to the Atomic Entergy Control Board
— 316, failing to meet Hydro's target of 138.
D Incidents of non-compliance with operating
policies and principles related to public safety —
20, falling short of the Hydro target of 12.9.
0 'Reactor trips' or the number of unplanned au-
tomatic reactor shutdowns per 7.(XX) hrs. — 0.2.
surpassing the Hydro target of I.
0 The number of special safety systems which ex-
ceeded their yearly unavailability target
— 0 betterin the H dro oaf of 1
power as a percentage of perfect performance —
58.5 per cent, failing to meet the Hydro goal of
73.8 per cent.
0 Total outage days per reactor — 127.2, falling
short of the Hydro target of 101.9.
0 Radioactive waste produced — 3,932 cubic me-
tres, failing to meet the Hydro target of 2.376 cubic
metres.
O Radiation dose to the public — 0.58 millirem,
bettering the Hydro goal of 1.88 mrem.
0 Spills of hazardous liquids into the environment
— 2,357 litres, falling short of the Hydro target of
1.833 litres.
O Total collective dose of radiation to all on-site
Personnel and visitors — 37.8 Rem, tittering the
Hydra goal of 87.1 Rem.
0 Worker accidents resulting in temporary ab-
sence from work, per 2000X) wort: hours — 0.5.
bettering the Hydro target of 0.6.
O Accident severity rate or the number of days lost
fox injuries per 200.000 hours worked — 3.2. sur-
passing the Hydro goal of 14.2.

Travellers' notes
By Colin Duddridge
Wow! There was no other expression to use on stepping inside the
atrium of the Nordic Empress.
Wow! A second time on seeing the suite with private balcony that
was to be home away from home for the next few days of sheer
unadulterated pampering.
"A miserable old curmudgeon" had been the mildest epithet thrown
at me in months - "no, I don't want to go on a cruise: I will be bored. I
will be claustrophobic. I don't want to be regimented. I will fall
overboard and drown;' - you get the idea. It took no time at all, once
on board, to convince myself that was 1 ever wrong ( of course I never
live it down or my feelings about Florida, Mexico, Disney, etc., but
those are other stories of how wrong one man can be).
No I had become a monster! Out anniversary was coming up and we
decided that the family would enjoy a cruise with us. The `boys" ( at
this time 24 and 26) were convinced that Father should be committed
to somewhere warm and cozy, but daughter who was in the travel
business convinced them, and her husband, that it was essential to her
career to experience a cruise. With much trepidation this motley crew
followed a very enthusiastic father aboard the MS Westerdam at Fort
Lauderdale. The boys were fully equipped with portable stereo
equipment, personal computers and all sorts of other electronic toys -
they would try to counteract the boredom somehow, they did perk up a
little when led off by a young lady to find their cabin. Even their inside
cabin at the "budget" price was very respectable. Daughter's cabin
being mid -price was an outside with a window that was very
comfortable for two and many of this type will accommodate an extra
adult or two children, Our suite was magnificent. My approach to life
took a turn (for the better) when I realized that I had never, ever seen a
hearse towing a U -Haul trailer with the worldly goods of the departed.
I am now determined that our worldly goods were intended to be spent
in this world with us - not left for the offspring to fight over so our
travel tends to be done with a bit of style.
Regardless of this cabin or suite everything else is the same treatment
to all. Holland America are, quite deservedly, many times voted the
best value cruise line in the world and their "tradition of excellence"
comes over in many ways. If you want to put on 20 pounds in a week it
would be very easy to do, equally if you want to remain svelte then the
low-fat diet and the array of exercise equipment available may even
help you lose some inches. To call the food on the cruise just food is to
do it a great disservice. Food is an event! Not only is the preparation
fastidious the presentation is impeccable and the service is always with
a smile. The shows are up to Vegas standard, the lounges range from
quiet contemplation to Karaoke noise! the casino - well it depends on
lady luck but it is certainly well equipped. There is no way to criticize
the crew, whether the ship's crew or the hotel staff. From the captain
down to the lowliest deckhand they know the passenger's pleasure is
their paramount concern -- and it shows with a ready smile, always.
How did the boys cope? The computer was never turned on, the
stereo was played rarely and they seemed to be able to grab a couple
hours of sleep each day - there was a time when middle son thought he
had slept through St. Thomas but ... well that's another story. The
general opinion? If you have yet to cruise - please do not hesitate. You
will not be disappointed. 1998 has many new ships available and the
value has never been better. Your professional travel agent should be
able to find you the right cruise for your personality, and if they are
really professional the cost should be at least 30 per cent below
brochure price, if you're really lucky it could be up to 50 per cent off.

Don't leave home
without them
Going on vacation' 'I Be sure to pack all
your health-care essentials.
A lot of careful planning goes into your
family's vacation. One of the most important
steps to a carefree vacation is knowing what to
take with you. When shopping for holiday
essentials, a stop at your local pharmacy can
help take care of all your family's health-care
needs while travelling.
It is important to remember that your holi-
day destination may not have certain health-
care products available. John Makepeace rec-
ommends the following "packing check -list -
for a safe and worry -fret vacation:
- Prescription medication: Don't forget to take
your prescription medication with you. Pack it
in your carry -on luggage, in case your
checked baggage does not arrive with you.
- Sun -block (SPF 15 or more): After weeks of
winter weather, your skin is very susceptible
to damage from LTV rays. Always apply plen-
ty of sun -block before heading outdoors - and
don't forget your hat. Also remember that
buying sun -block in holiday/resort areas can
be very expensive.
- Sunburn soothing products: Just in case you
or a family member does get too much sun,
bring along a soothing gel to apply that can
ease the soreness and keep the damaged skin
moistunzed and protected.
- Antiseptic creamJspray and bandages: Minor
abrasions and cuts should be treated quickly
with antiseptic cream or spray and covered
with a bandage to avoid infection. Make sure
the area is clean and dry before applying the
dressing.
- Stomach remedies: Foreign water and food
may upset your stomach. Your Wal-Mart phar-
macist can help you choose the remedy that is
best for you.
- Headache/pain relievers: Whether it's too
much sun, or too much fun, you may experi-
ence minor aches and
vacation spot.
- Allergy medication: If you suffer from aller-
gies, talk to your pharmacist about how to
cope with the symptoms while on vacation.
Keep in mind that you may be exposed to
different allergy triggers to which you arc
unaccustomed.
- Motion sickness remedies: Whether you
travel by plane, train or automobile, motion
sickness can turn an otherwise pleasant jour-
ney into an uncomfortable one. Talk to your
community pharmacist about available remc- .
dies that can ease motion sickness.

New online service
offers computer
train reservation
Plan your rail
excursion from
your home computer
Train travel is easier than ever now that
travellers need go no further than their
personal computer to reserve a seat with
VIA Rail Canada.
Once reserved. tickets can be picked
up at VIA stations or authorized travel
agencies or may be charged and sent
directly by mail.
The new on-line reservation system, VIA
Resernet Interactive, was launched
fecently in Montreal's Central Station
and Toronto's Eaton Centre.
VIA is the first railway in the world, as
well as the first passenger carrier in
Canada, to give customers the option of
using the internet to interface with the
company's reservation system.
VIA also used the launch to unveil its
second -generation website which has the
same address as its predecessor:
http://www.viaraii.ca.
The original site, an innovation when it
was launched in 1995, gave visitors
access to schedules and fares. It had
become so popular that in January alone,
it received 19,000 visitors and recorded
more than 600,000 hits. The site has
now been revised and redesigned in
terms of both graphics and content.
Bonnie View Inn
Bonnie view Inn was named
a unique, romantic way.
An old Scottish Wy, a native of the distnct, sits entranced, as she gazes across the
bay in which the Inn is situated, to the long undulating skyline, the Haliburton Highlands sur-
rounding the lake. They are wreathed with a crown of trees of many varieties. She is lost in
wonder with the beauty of the scene. From the waves which lap the shore with absorbing
rhythm, the majestic trees, slowly waving their boughs in the refreshing breeze, to the green
crested 'braes and doons' thence over the dancing blue waters of the lake that sparkle in the
sunlight to the distant horizon where the little hills are shrouded in purple haze. They remind
her of the heather covered hills of Scotland as she sits there with the summer zephyr stirring
her white hair, the beauty of the scene holds her enraptured. She shakes her head and mur-
murs, "Aye, but it's a Bonnie View."
What of the old Scottish lady you inquire? Ah! in this shifting world, friends and
things we hold dear disappears. The quiet and glimmering twilight fades as the shades of night
descend upon the earth, so this one fades from our view, but the everlasting hills and valleys,
narrows and lakes forever remain the theme of our vision.
As she, and other before her stood upon the shore and sensed the rest of mind that
the view inspires, so we in turn -far from the maddening crowd" may here come to rest; when
the wild beauty greets our gaze, we too will be led the exclaim Aye, its a Bonnie View."

Will that be service charges or old-fashioned Service?
There's a new name in Ajax for travel service and it stands for service.
Many agencies are making travelers pay a service charge for airline tickets, hotel and car
bookings and many other formerly "free" services. There is some justification due to
"commission caps" by the airlines, but Intra ADL Travel only charges in exceptional situations
such as exchanging tickets or "free" vouchers.

reflect the "values" of the com-
munity, board staff and the re-
gion's trustees.
The board's co-ordinating
committee will hold municipal

Storeowners split
on volume of
downtown sales
BY CHRIS'TY CHASE
AND CINDY ENGt.ERT
DUkHAM S [AFT
WHITBY — Holiday sales made most
downtown shopkeepers happy this year but some
storeowners could have used more Christmas cheer.
Marie Hotte, owner of the Whatz-it Store said her
husiness did well with its Sews catalogue sales this
Yule.
"A lot of people are doing catalogue shopping this
year." Ms. Hoite said. "I would say more than usual.
I think people don't have time to go to the store. It's
quicker through the catalogue. They get good deals,
it's more convenient and they can shop 24 hours a
day "
Ms. Hotte estimated sales are up by about 60 per
cent this year. the store's third Christmas.
Gene Yackison, co-owner of the three-year-old
Exotic Collectable Car Co., said sales are up about 20
per cent this year over a "good'' last year.
"We had a great October and November:" Mr.
Yackisom said. "I would suggest that a lot of cus-
tomers are shopping earlier, to get a better %election:'
But some downtown businesses were wishing for
more Christmas traffic.
Rita Osborne, co-owner of Gem, said sales are
do% n from last year, though she hasn't worked out by
hew much.
"Usually I like this season bitter. from a husiness
point of view:' Ms. Osborne said "But this year is
not as good as previous years:'
Richard Pell, owner of Mexlel'T Computers, said
sales were about the same as last year for the three-
year-old bus-mcss. He found sales of computer sys-
tems are down, as the marker for computers appears
to be saturated. But on the up sick, upgrade%. addi-
tiom; and accessories arc selling well, he said.
He adds downtown husinc-sscs would have hene-
fited from more walk-up traffic before. Christmas.

Fire tragedy brings out
best in women's family
OSHAWA - An Oshawa mother says she's
learned about 'Vie true meaning of Christmas" de-
spite being homeless for the holidays.
Jennifer Lewis says the $200,000 fire which
de-stroyed her apartment at 945 Simcoe St. N. five
days before Christmas helped "put things in per-
spective in terms of family and friends"
Ms. Lewis and her two daughters, Amanda, 8,
and Michelle, 6, weren't at home when the fire
broke out, and the family feels "very lucky, very
fortunate to be alive."
The family is also "very overwhelmed" by the
support shown by family, friends and the commu-
nity at large.
The girls received toys and gifts for Christmas
from the Durham Regional Police Toy Drive, a
PC company has offered appliances and total strangers
WGH's beds be divided between .Ajax -Picker-
ing and Oshawa hospitals.
She added the commission states closing
the hospital will save $603,000 but dors not
indicate how much it will cost to care for the
hospital's patients and Whitby's residents
elsewhere. The commission also did not in-
clude any capital costs for rehabilitation ser-
vices in Ajax and Oshawa, she says. Oshawa
General Hospital indicated recently its overall
redevelopment will cost $2(X) million, she
says.
Mrs. Tunney says too many uncertainties
regarding hospital services in Durham Region
exist right now to make a decision to close any
facility. The commission's report notes deci-
have offered food, clothes and other goods to help
them recover from the fire. Ms. Lewis had no in-
surance.
Ms. Lewis, who is staying with her niece in Os-
hawa during the holidays, says she can't return to
her apartment for at least two months and may look
for a new place to live.
The fire was caused by clothes placed too close
to an baseboard heater, Oshawa fire officials say.
Mayor, councillors
meet -and -greet at
New Year's Day levee
OSHAWA - All of Oshawa is invited to

The annual Mayor's New Year's Levee will
be held at Parkwood, 270 Simcoe St. N., on
cions have yet to be made on North Durham
hospital services, emergency health care, can-
cer services, complex continuing care and
other long-term care services, she says.
There are also inconsistencies in the com-
mission's report, Mrs. Tunney says. The com-
mission has approved stand-alone rehabilita-
tion centres in Toronto, London and Windsor
but has rejected the idea in Durham, she says.
The hospital doers support the formation of
a single hospital corporation for east Durham
and appreciates the recognition the commis-
sion gave to WGH's expertise and achieve-
ments in rehabilitation services.
The commission is expected to have a final
report out in February.
Thursday, Jan. 1 from 1:30 p.m. until 3 p.m.

PICKERING — The Pick-

road warriors, but home ice has
been quite another story in
league action this past weekend.

allowed two quick goals. He
was replaced by Joel Cameron
who was all but unbeatable the
rest of the way. The Panthers
roared back to score two third -
period goals to tie the score at 2-
2. Team captain Chris Hunter
scored on a breakaway and
Justin Squires tallied to finish
off an end-to-end rush by Bill
Duncan.
McGillis says his charges
were denied their second road
win of the weekend, although
they were the better team on the
ice.
"The guys came out and
were determined to work
through everything to get the
win. It was a tough loss, but I
was happy with the way

the second frame as the Panthers
played virtually all of it short-
handed. Durham led 5-2 after
two.
The Panthers put together a
decent effort in the third period,
but couldn't gain any ground on
the Huskies who were full value
for the win.
No scoring details were
available for Friday's game.
