The Ministry of Education and Training will kick off the third and final phase of its 3100 - million investment in textbooks and learning materials next week, but schools likely won't see those new materials until the spring, reports a ministry offi- cial. Ministry spokesman Daniele Gauvin says school boards will receive a memo early next week outlining their funding alloca- tion for round three of the provincial government's pur- chasing initiative. They will also receive",the Province's approved list of learning materials that can be bought during the next phase. "January 5 is the date we ex- pect to have the approved list posted:' she says, adding "we're hoping to get orders in by Feb. L" The government promised $100 million for the purchase of textbooks and other learning materials to support the new el- ementary curriculum in the 1998 Ontario Budget, an- nounced last May. To date, the Durham District School Board has received ap- proximately $2.6 million under the initiative, while the Durham Catholic District School Board has received roughly $1.4 mil- lion. The first funding installment provided roughly S67 million for math and language text- books in schools across the province while the second phase provided approximately $32.2 million for learning materials for science and kindergarten programs in Ontario's elemen- tary schools. Ms. Gauvin reports the sav- ings realized through bulk or- ders in the first phase of the ini- tiative, an estimated $12.8 mil- lion, and any savings realiied in phase two are being used to fi- nance the third and final phase of the investment. Ms. Gauvin adds yjsy the third phase of the initiative will provide school boards with money to purchase "textbooks originally approved in phase one as well as new texts to (sup- port) the new curriculum and re - for teachers:' But while the deadline for placing orders in the second round of purchasing was Dec. 3, that science equipment is not yet in schools and likely won't be in classrooms until the spring due to the "variety of manufacturers involved:' she says, adding "all orders will be filled by the end of March " She adds that the amount of funding each Ontario school board receives in phase three will he based on their enrol- ment.

So it is in Pickering as 1998 draws to a close and Town officials consider all which has passed, and that which lies ahead. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs has more than a few clear ideas about what he'd like to see happen here in the coming year, and all of them deserve consideration. What Mayor Arthurs says on amalgamation with Ajax: "What I'd like is a complete amalgamation of the two towns into one community on July I, 2000" Though the notion of amalgamation makes sense for taxpayers in terms of efficiency, better value for services and the elimination of duplications, it's going to take great and sustained effort to see it hap- pen. Though an 18 -month time frame for complete amalgamation might be a bit too ambitious, it's something that must be debated publicly, openly and frequently. The most important element of this, however, is full public consultation to gauge the mood for a merger. Political will is important, cer- tainly, but so too is public consent. Here's hoping 1999 shapes up to be a year of consultation — at the very least — on the amalgamation front. What Mayor Arthurs says on proposed airport designation for north Pickering lands: "It's been a long. long wait to be able to do something construc- tive (on the airport issue) at the community level.- Again. evel"Again, the public will and should play a crucial role in helping to shape the course of the debate over this politically -charged issue. Mayor Arthurs wants the federal government to agree to help estab- lish a "stakeholders forum" to discuss the future of and planning process for the airport lands. Ongoing and open public debate, with participation by the Town. provincial and federal government represen- tatives, will help clear the air, put to bed some myths and identify important arca.. for further discussion. We couldn't agree with the mayor more when he says he hopes a forum will help "bring sotne defin- ition to what the long-term use of those lands will be.- Indeed. e"Indeed. What Mayor Arthurs says in describing the envi- ronmental review of the Pickering Nuclear Generat- ing Station completed by Ontario Hydro this year: It's been "a major step:' It's true the study's completion is an important step toward a stronger, less cynical relationship with the operators of the nuclear plant. But Pickering has an important stake in ensuring Ontario Hydro does indeed follow through with a detailed, ambitious ac- tion plan to address problems found in the review. As well, Pickering residents must be persistent in demanding that Town officials also live up to their commitment to push for a broader investigation of the nuclear plant and its effect on the community. Such a probe would identify other equally impor- tant — though less tangible — issues that affect the people who live and work in Pickering. Such a study could also serve to further improve relations be- tween the nuclear plant — which employs a sub- stantial number of Pickering residents — and the public at large. Finally, Mayor Arthurs would like to see imple- mentation of some of the Pickering 2001 Waterfront Task Force recommendations. The lakeshore and Frenchman's Bay areas were most aptly described by one former councillor as a jewel" in Pickering. There can be nothing but added value for residents when the lakeshore and bay areas are enhanced and improved. Let the work begin! An ambitious agenda lies ahead for Pickering in this last year of the century. With political leader- ship and a citizenry that participates, touch of what we hope to achieve can indeed be achieved. Happy new yam! YOU SAID IT The question was: If you had one wish for 1999, what would it be? Craig Murray Aro Kriete Mattie Williams says, "To be says, "To be says, "Better debt -free" healthy:' health for the whole family." ri a LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Airport foes quiet on noisy 407 extension To the editor. It appear that many members of Voters Organized to Cancel Air- right of way of 106 metres. Perhaps there is little objection to the 407 extension because it will be a convenience for commuters and will reduce traffic on the Ah Concession and Hwy. 7. But the noise level adjacent to the highway will be continuous 24 hours a day. Dow Brougbam port Lands are misinformed about the proposed airport in Pickering. The airport would occupy at TRCA Sleeps most 5.300 acres so 13,000 acres would be available for agriculture, while forest falls conservation areas, recreation facil- ioes, housing and industry.

For a number of months. I have requested the Town of Pickering planning deparanent and the Toron- to Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to be proactive in .tormwater management and re- quested extensive environmental re- ports with recommendations to manage the lard at Whites and Finch. The TRCA has the requited laws to enforce proper lard devel- opment and protection of Duffin's Creek headwaters, the forest, and the shoreline which filters and recharges our groundwater before heading for the creeks and French- man's Bay. The citizens of Pickcnng should take note that the environmental de- terioration into Frenchman's Bay, the loss of pnme cedar swamp at Whites and Finch and the selling of conservation lands along the Rouge and waterfront have taken place under the eye of the TRCA. Just what then is its role — erhvirunmen- ul watchdog or developer? By its demonstrated lack of any affirma- tive action in Pickering, the answer is clear. While the TRCA sleeps. our environment and those special places we have taken for granted arc in danger. David Steele, Pickering Premier must stand and deliver Ultimate blame rests with Mike Harris Premier Mike Harris refuses to accept any blame for an outra- geous payment of taxpayers' motley to settle the legislature's most notorious sex scandal in memory, but most will have diffi- culty absolving hits. The Progressive Conservative Premier argued in a year-end dis- ctssion with news media that he has no responsibility for the out- come of the caste in which an aide to former Tory Speaker Al McLear[ sought damages claiming he fired her because she refused to have sex with him. The legislature's board of inter- nal economy, which handles its fi- nances, approved paying her $250,000 and Mr. McLean $130.000 for his legal cost., which helps the Tories by keeping em- barrassing allegations out of court and prompted protests at taxpay- ers footing the bill of an MPP whose denials had not even been tested in court. Mr. Harris claimed the settle- ment was "not my decision" but made by MPPs on the board who acted independently and the affair had been mismanaged and the ac- tions of those responsible, whom he [tattled as the board, legislature and Speaker's and Clerk's offices, should be reviewed to improve procedures. But Mr. Harris's attempt to wash his hands of the settlement does not stand up, first because he appoints the Tory majority on the committee including Environment Minister Norm Sterling, who also is government Howse leader, and Transportation Minister Tony Clement, who was a backroom aide to Mr. Harris before he was elected Premier and is exception- ally partisan. Eric Dowd At Queen's Park Mr. Harris guides his ministers and MPPs with a firm hand and they do not embark on any imua- tives of substance without his ap- proval- As one Tory MPP, veteran Morley ICells, put it: "rite direc- tion of this administration resides almost totally in the hands of the political operators in the Premier's office:' Another, Toni Skarica, felt, " nw Premier and a couple of un- elected staff run the province — it's a dictatorship" and a mayors' association refused to discuss downloading with any minister but Mr. Harris because "Harris is the Man." How the board of internal economy handled the claim against Mr. McLean was crucial to Mr. Harris. If it was not settled quietly, but aired in court, voters would have heard allegations that could have undermined Mr. Har- ris's plan to picture his party in an election as the protector of family values. The Tories on the committee proposed the settlement and pushed it through despite objet' tions by Liberals and New De- mocrats on it. It is inconceivable Mr. Harris would have allowed his Tories a free hand on how to vote, or to vote without saying what he want- ed, find much more likely he would have spelled out precisely to them what the settlement should be. This also is not the first time Mr. Hams has tried to shrug off blame that properly should have been his and deflect it to subordi- nates. The Premier improperly identi- fied a young offender in his Throne Speech, but persuaded So- licitor General Bob Runciman to resign briefly on the grounds his ministry supplied the information. If anyone is to resign, it should have been Mr. Harris, because the speech was his statement of poli- cy- When the Premier was asked why he did not have a mandatory program to test auto emission., he blamed Mr. Sterling publicly, say- ing he had asked for one but the environment minister was slow to develop it. When asked why funds did not reach hospitals in time, Mr. Harris pointed a finger at respected Health Minister Elizabeth Witmer and rushed out to deliver them personally, as if to say she could never do it right. Earlier Premiers by contrast did not blame ministers publicly, but felt it their duty to make sure those they appointed did the job or they'd get rid of them. Mr. Harris also blamed lawyers for mistakes his government made including its first, paltry offers to compensate the surviving Dionne quintuplets and tainted blood vic- tims, which it increased when it saw they could cost votes. Mr. Harris does not seem to recognize as Premier he is respon- sible in the end for what his gov- ernment does and the buck stops with him. r PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER A Metroland Community Newspaper Tim Whittaker Publisher Joanne Burghardt Ediror-in-Chief Steve Houston Managing Editor Bruce Danford Director of Advertising Duncan Fletcher Retail Adverrising ,Manager Eddie Kolodziejcak Classt ied Adiertismg .tfan- ager John Willems Real Fstare Automotive Ad- vertising Manager Abe Fakhourie Distribution Manager Lillian Hook OJTce.Manager Barb Harrison Composing .tlanager bm (905)683-5110 5 (905)683-5110 l7assified• (905)683-0707 Disthbalima (905)693-5117 General Fas (905)683-7363 , Eltiail newsroom u durham.net Web address www.durharnrw% nct 130 Commercial Ave..

You'd he giving a gift more valuable than any you handed out this past Christ- mas — the gift of life that comes with donating blood on a regular basis. Thousands of Durham residents do just that when they roll up their sleeves at donor clinics run by Canadian Blood Senices. established to take over from the Canadian Red Cross Society follow- ing revelations in the Krever inquiry into the country's blood collection and deliv- ery system. Darwin Adams is among those Durham residents who give the most precious gift of all — to complete stranger.

It might be a new mother who runs into complications during the birth of a child. It could be a hemophiliac for whom a small cut might be life-threatening. Or. it could be you who needs blood. That's in the back of Stephanie Langstaff's mind at this clinic. "There's a good chance someday I'll need some bloil:" the Ajax resident says. "It's good karma. What goes around, hopefully, will come back when I need it" She's giving blood for the. seventh time since she first rolled up her sleeves at age 17.

That MD died about 50 years ago after he was involved in an automo- bile accident and was turned away from a whites -only hospital in the American south. "He died because he couldn't get a transfusion. That's a joke:' Mr. Adams says. He's not the only one in his family who donates Mood. Mr. Adams's middle son gives when he can. The oldest of his three suns doesn't donate because he's afraid of needles and the youngest "faints at the sight of bloat". But, there's absolutely no reason for fear, according to blood donor clinic volunteer like Marjorie Rayner, who's helped out for more than 1 I year.

IM For the love of the game Officials put I*t on line — and it's not for the money BY BRIAN MCNAIR SiaJJ linter There's something discon- certing about a job where your best work goes completely un- noticed and your perceived mis- takes are greeted with harsh words or cyen physical abuse. Welcome to the life of a sports official. Fortunateh cases such as a recent stick -swinging incident in Whitby, where two officials were reportedly struck by a hockey player. arc few and far between. In fact. ask those who mediate games in hockey, bas- ketball. baseball and the like. and most will tell you abuse on the playing surface is nothing compared with that from the stands. especially where young players are involved. "I just can't understand poo - pie going to a house league game and yelling at 14- and 15 - year -old officials;' says Ivan Locke. who nonetheless has seen plenty of that in a 50 -year involvement with hockey offici- ating at just about every level. Locke. currently the referee - in -chief with the Ontario Women's Hockey Association and aninstructor/supervisor of officials for the OWHA, the On- tario Hockey Association, and the Ontario Minor Hockey As- sociation. is a true authority on officiating hockey. He says a national program that grooms young officials loses about one-third of its prospects after a year, and one- half of the remainder the follow- ing year. '`lust of it is because they can't stand the so-called adults hollering at them.- Locke says. Robert Drury, a 22 -year-old who began officiating hox:kcy eight years ago but now prefers calling ringette games. has a theory why parents of young hockey plavers can be so obnox- ious -The main difference in hockey is that all the parents think their kids are going to make it to the NHL:' he says. "You hear profanity you don't like to hear out on the street let alone in front of seven- and eight-year-old kids." But hockey is not the only breeding ground for overzeal- ous parents. Drury was punched in the helmet following a ringctte Darr v/ Dawson wheres the black and white in the Ontario Hockey League. He starred oi9Sciatin,g at age 11 and. like man other referees, has aspirations to call games in the Natitmal Hockey League. game by the father of a girl he had tossed from the game. The father was escorted out and charged by police. And Jim Lutton- who has held a similar reputation to Locke as a baseball umpire and basketball official for the past 36 years, says parents in those sports are also cause for concern at the grassroots level. -One of the biggest problems we have right now, i, getting young kids to stay involved be- cause of parents yelling and screaming at the kids.- says Lut- ton, who supervises and runs clinics for umpires in the On- tario Baseball 'Association. -Somehow we've got to get through and educate the pu- cnts:' It's generally agreed that abuse from the stands has in- creased noticeably over the past 10 or 15 years and something must be done to curtail it. Some organizations have empowered officials to have spectators re- moved from the game if they be- come too vociferous. but that can become a distraction from where an official's concentra- tion should remain. on the game. It is the game, after all, that keeps officials coming back for more. -You certainly don't do it for the money:' says Al Radbourne. a Level 4 official who has offici- ated minor hockey in Oshawa for the past seven years and make, anywhere from $13 to 52; per game. "I think you do it to stay in- volved in the game;' Radbourne says. "It's for the love of the game and hopefully you're help- ing the system. - That seems to be the general consensus. Although some, such as 28 -year-old Darryl Dawson, have had aspirations of a career in the National Hockey League, he says it's not the underlying reason for donning the zebra stripes. "We don't get rich from it:" says Dawson, who. as a referee in the Ontario Hockey League. does much better than most when he collects $105 per game plus 42 cents for each mile he travels. "We do it for the love of the game. - Dawson started officiating at 1 I in his hometown of Lindsay and was doing the highest level of all-star hockey by the time he was 16 He quit playing after Ju- nior C to concentrate on officiat- ing and worked his way up to an NHL trainee program until he was let go after last season. Although he hasn't complete- ly abandoned his dream of reaching the NHL, his priorities are quite different now. -I enjoy it:' says Dawson. who refs two OHL games and one or two Tier 2 games in a typical week. "it's a night out and a chance to stay involved in the game -This is not to suggest there arc no problems on the ice or playing field. It's just that play- ers and coaches tend to under- stand the game better than fans and can usually be disciplined within the rules. Those who stick with offici- ating have a combination of qualities: they develop a thick - skin without a sense of arro- gance, they undersmnd the rules and enforce them without bias, and, most of all. they retain a love for the game. It's a difficult balancing act and, when achieved, one that is usually un- apprcc iated. "An umpire's expected to be perfect in his first game and im- prove every game after that;' says Lutton. "You have to be thick- skinned. Thcy accuse you of being blind, but you almost have to be deaf." Ajax peewees chalk up pair of wins AJAX — The wins keep coming lir the Ajax Water- maxx/Noble Chiropractic minor peewee 'A' team which racked up a pair of victories recently. A goal by Ryan Brogan with three seconds left gave Ajax a hard-fought 5-4 victory over Uxbridge. The offensive star for the locals was Matthew Haire. who potted two goals and assist- ed on three others. Brogan also had two goals, while Jamie Kennedy chipped in with a sin- gle marker. Drawing assists were Jason McMaster and Todd McDonald with two each, Sean Mansour and Michael Guyett with one apiece. Ryan Park was solid in net, turning away 35 of 39 shots. In a rematch with arch -rival Pickering- Ajax dominated en route to a 4-2 win. Kennedy netted a pair of goals, while Darryl Matsushita and Brogan turned on the red light once each.
