Durham boards question criteria School rankings rankle officials BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Local educa- tion officials say the first-ever ranking of Ontario’s high schools is misleading in that it compares public and private facilities. Released this week by The Fraser Institute, the British Co- lumbia-based think tank, the Re- port Card on Ontario’s Sec- ondary Schools: 2001 Edition ranks schools based on five crite- ria: The percentage of advanced courses taken, the percentage of courses passed, core courses taken by students, the difference between male and female stu- dents in the average course mark received for advanced Grade 12- level English (or French), and the difference in math scores. The results give schools a ranking out of 10. The top 16 spots on the list are occupied by private schools, all of which scored a perfect 10. Durham’s two private schools scored near the top of the list, with Kingsway College sitting 25th with a ranking of 9.2 and Whitby’s Trafalgar Castle School at 32 with a 9. The Fraser Institute looked at 815 schools in all and ranked 568 based on the 1998-99 school year. Schools without a rating did not have sufficient data to de- termine a score. Durham’s top non-private high schools were Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School in Whitby and O’Neill Collegiate & Vocational Institute in Oshawa, which sit in a tie for 81st position with a ranking of eight. Other notables included Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pick- ering, with a 7.9, good enough for 89th spot. Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School ranked 109th with a 7.7, and two other Picker- ing schools and Brock High School rounded out Durham’s best finishes. Dunbarton High School scored a 7.6 (120th) while St. Mary Catholic Secondary School and Brock were ranked 145th with a 7.3. Near the bottom of the list were two Oshawa schools. G.L. Roberts Collegiate & Vocational Institute finished in 533rd spot with a 3.4, and Central Colle- giate Institute is 552nd with a 2.4. Grant Yeo, education director at the Durham District School ‘Aggressive’pet licensing program to continue Pickering councillor questions door-to-door approach PICKERING —The City will continue a door-to-door campaign to enforce a bylaw requiring cat and dog owners in Pickering to li- cense their pets, despite concerns from one councillor that the cam- paign is too aggressive. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland was unsuccessful Tuesday in convincing his col- leagues to put an end to the li- censing program, which he be- lieves is being enforced too vigor- ously. “There is no other bylaw I am aware of we enforce door-to-door in our municipality,” he said dur- ing the City’s council meeting, noting he’s heard from several res- idents who have reported the door-to-door canvassers are ag- gressive. The City contracts the service to an outside company, which em- ploys commissioned salespeople who canvass residents to ensure their pets are licensed. And, Coun. Holland said some residents have told him they felt “they were being almost harassed in some instances”. Coun. Holland agreed every cat and dog should be licensed and that the bylaw should be enforced, but he questioned the extent to which the matter is being pursued. “I personally don’t feel it’s a program we should be continu- ing,” he said. However, Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said he doesn’t believe the door-to- door campaign is a problem. “Communicating with the pub- lic is responsible,” he said. “Com- municating the benefits of licens- ing is responsible. The motive for the door-to-door canvass isn’t the problem.” MARK HOLLAND ‘Almost harassed.’ See DURHAM page 2 See PICKERING’S page 4 Board, said Central is an example of what the Fraser Institute didn’t take into account by focusing on academic performance. “(The school) has been concentrating on serving many students who are not in- terested in university but in specific ca- reers they can get a start on in classes at Central,” he said. “These classes are either open-level or not advanced. By not being reported on, it seems to be a negative.” Mr. Yeo added the report is “certainly not a comprehensive review”. In focusing on Grade 11 to OAC students, he said only a portion of a school’s population was looked at. And he said considering private and public schools together is misleading since the latter offer programs ranging from special education to advanced cours- es while private schools do not. The public board intends to analyse the report, but Mr. Yeo did say, “secondary school life and what is offered is beyond this report”. Grant Andrews, education director at the Durham Catholic District School Board, said his board’s schools did “rela- tively good” in the ranking, but he also questioned the criteria. He suggested the success rates of stu- dents once they have left high school would have been an appropriate criterion. The Fraser Institute says the report al- lows parents to compare schools and ask good questions of staff when considering where to send their child. Mr. Andrews questioned the value in lumping together public and private schools, noting the top-ranking schools were private, more-advantaged schools. “If you’re a parent of a child in a private school, you’ve already made the decision that there’s more advantage in a private school,” said Mr. Andrews, who asked, “When did you last hear about special ed- ucation in a private school?” The Fraser Institute’s first-ever Ontario report card follows similar reports they have published on high schools in British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec. The On- tario report card will be published annual- ly and can be viewed at www.fraserinsti- tute.ca.

With that in mind, Ontario Power Generation is holding special events throughout Pickering and Ajax in sup- port of Earth Day on April 22. OPG will be planting large indigenous trees in several different schoolyards to not only help the environment, but also to help raise environmental awareness in the students. St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School and Lord Durham Public School in Ajax and Pickering’s Valley Farm Public School will all be receiving trees. OPG has also organized an event for students from Valley Farm and R.H. Cornish Public School in Port Perry, as those students will get to ex- plore the world of bugs. Co-hosted by Humber Nurseries, children will learn about the tiny and fascinating world of bugs and butterflies. After discovering life from a bug’s perspective, children will build their own bug kit and then head out to ob- serve first-hand the insect world at Pickering’s Alex Robertson Park.

The 25-year-old victim suffered gunshot wounds to his hand and leg during the attack Jan. 9 at the townhouse complex at 1990 Whites Rd. Durham Regional Police said the man was walking through the housing complex at 8 p.m. when a gunman standing near bushes opened fire on him. The wounded man was chased by two assailants and numerous shots were fired at him, with several bullets nar- rowly missing children who were playing in the area and striking parked vehicles and nearby buildings, police said. One bullet ripped through a wall and was found in a shoe inside a bedroom closet. The victim, who fled to a residence, did not know his attackers and detectives be- lieve the wrong man was tar- geted in the botched murder bid. He was treated at hospital and released. “The investigation would indicate that this in fact was a case of mistaken identity,” said Sergeant Jim Grimley, police spokesman. Police did not reveal the identity of the intended target or comment on the motive for the shoot- ing. Detectives arrested a man and woman Wednesday and are continuing the investiga- tion. A handgun believed used in the shooting has been recovered. Germaine Roberts, 24, of Lawrence Avenue, Toronto, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, careless use of a firearm, pos- session of a restricted weapon, possession of a dan- gerous weapon, use of a firearm to commit an in- dictable offence and six counts of breach of recog- nizance. Sherill Clarke, 34, of Murison Avenue, Toronto, is charged with being an acces- sory to an attempted murder after the fact, obstructing po- lice and aiding and abetting to breach a court order. Mr. Roberts was held for a bail hearing while Ms. Clarke was released with a court date of May 11 in Oshawa.

Pickering councillors voted 4-2 Tuesday to partici- pate in the second phase of Durham’s ‘Who Does What’ (WHW) review, which is considering ways of eliminat- ing duplication and cutting costs in public works services across the region. Ward 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner and Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland both argued against continuation of the study. “It seems to me rather ludicrous to proceed with a Who Does What study with- out considering all the vari- ables therein,” Coun. Holland said, noting the governance issue and the future role of the Greater Toronto Services Board should be taken into account. “We’re looking at a very small piece of the puz- zle,” he said. Coun. Brenner also believes the study needs to be broadened if it’s going to be a success. “I do not be- lieve one can (study services) in isolation. Durham Region is taking a white-gloved ap- proach,” he said.. However, Ward 3 Region- al Councillor and Durham works committee chairman Rick Johnson said the study is a separate issue from mu- nicipal restructuring. “This study does not look at governance... this is (about) service delivery in public works areas,” he said. He noted the City should inform the company per- forming the service that there have been some com- plaints. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean reported can- vassers have visited 15,000 homes and there have only been five complaints regis- tered with the City’s clerk’s department. “The number of com- plaints is very minimal,” Coun. McLean said. He also reported the pro- gram generated $30,000 in revenues last year and it’s expected that figure will double this year because cats must also be licensed in Pickering now. He noted the licensing fee for cats and dogs is $15 if the pet has been spayed or neutered and $25 if they haven’t.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 20, 2001 PAGE 5 A/P Throne speech calls for tax cuts, tight spending BY JOE CHIN Staff Writer DURHAM — Ontario residents can expect more tax cuts and tight restric- tions on spending by public agencies, when the Progressive Conservative gov- ernment returns to business next week following a winter break. In a speech from the throne delivered Thursday by Lieutenant Governor Hi- lary Weston to open the spring session of the Ontario legislature, the governing Tories unveiled a 21-point plan focused on economic growth and job creation. Though details of the tax cuts and economic “smart growth” won’t be an- nounced until the budget is brought down May 9, the government made clear the direction it intends to take on several other fronts. In particular, it resurrected its agenda of privatization, which was first raised in 1995 but failed to fully materialize. This time, it will set up a panel to exam- ine which businesses the government should continue to operate and which it should turn over to the private sector. The fate of TVOntario and the LCBO could be determined by this panel. Finance Minister and Ajax-Whitby MPP Jim Flaherty is expected to intro- duce the concept of ‘zero-based budget- ing’ for government ministries and agencies. “It means most ministries and agencies will not automatically receive a set amount of funding, but will have to justify every penny it gets in advance,” Mr. Flaherty said. While some min- istries may see their funding capped, it appears the Province’s health-care bud- get will, for the sixth consecutive year, increase, but not at such a healthy rate. The most recent financial report indi- cated the health budget has soared to $22.5-billion annually, up 19 per cent in the past two years alone. “Given the rapid escalation... are our health services that much better?” Mr. Flaherty asked. “We are now spending more than $61 million a day... more than $700 a second on health care in the province of Ontario.” Mr. Flaherty said he’s not talk- ing about cuts to the health budget, but ensuring the beefed-up system is better at meeting the needs of pa- tients. The throne speech also re- newed the government’s pledge to open the electricity market to com- petition, although it did not set a timetable. On the education front, the government promised to give parents “more choice to enrol their children in any available school within their system.”And there will be report cards on schools to help parents make this choice. In a move certain to anger teacher unions, the government will challenge the grid system for paying salaries to teachers by en- couraging school boards to reward high-performing teachers and prin- cipals under a merit system.

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser April 20, 2001 Prince Anderson and his sheriffs a taxing outfit To the editor: Re: ‘Committee approves police budget request,’April 11. The provincial government and, to a lesser extent, the federal gov- ernment have recognized that the taxpayer is overburdened with taxes. No so in Durham Region. Durham Chairman Roger An- derson is proposing a temporary special tax levy to finance hospital expansion. Income tax was a tem- porary tax and so was the one-cent increase in gas pricing that the Lib- erals levied to purchase Petro- Canada. What has happened to these temporary taxes? Mr. Anderson, some time ago, said he was looking for a 6.5-per cent increase in taxes. This year alone, they are talking of nine per cent and possibly more. For Mr. Anderson to pay extra tax is no problem because he has remuneration for his unelected of- fice, plus expenses, plus gas al- lowance, in addition to what he makes from his real estate business. Ask those on fixed incomes and trying hard to make ends meet if the extra tax is a burden or not. Ask any working individual who cannot vote himself an eight-per cent-plus pay increase if the added tax is a hardship. It was reported Mr. Anderson did not want to go over the police budget “line by line”. Is that not his job? I cannot help but compare the Durham chairman and his council- lors to Prince John and the sheriff of Nottingham from the childhood story, ‘Robin Hood’: tax the peas- ant to death while they lived in op- ulent luxury. Louis Formosa, Pickering So, was your school 25th out of 568? Or did it finish 552nd? Or do you attend a school that found its way to 81st, 219th or 323rd? We can only be talking about The Fraser Institute Report Card on On- tario’s high schools of course. Based on a five-point academic achievement scale, which places utmost importance on advanced and core courses at the Grade 12/OAC level, the right-wing think tank rated 568 of Ontario’s high schools and released its findings Wednesday morning. Pine Ridge Secondary School was Pickering’s top-ranked school at 89, while in Ajax, Pickering High School logged in at 160. Before getting out the party hats or dunce caps however, the report cards must bear much closer scrutiny. And under a harsh spotlight, many flaws are revealed. For instance, over 300 high schools, some private but most public (almost the entire Toronto Catholic board’s high schools and some Durham schools), were not judged because of insufficient data. In addition, the criteria used are so biased in favour of small, private schools, which include students who must write exams to gain entrance, are from extremely affluent backgrounds and who are fixated on attending uni- versity upon graduation, that many vo- cational and institutional schools suffer poorly in comparison. Central, Eastdale and G.L. Roberts in Oshawa, all of whom rated in the bot- tom 10 per cent of the 568, pride them- selves on having top technical pro- grams. Students are geared to appren- ticeships and colleges, not to universi- ties. Academics matter, but not many students take advanced or core subjects as they are required to do at private schools, or as students tend to gravitate towards at higher-rated schools like Whitby’s Father Leo Austin (81st) and Pine Ridge. Because they’re somewhat isolated and must serve all types of students, rural schools also suffered as did those in Northern Ontario, which time and again rated the worst in the province based on the Fraser numbers. While it’s a start at comparing schools and does offer a rating of sorts, this report is most notable for what it doesn’t say about our schools rather than what it does. A comparison that fairly rates private against private schools and technical/vocational schools against like institutes, urban schools against each other and rural schools matched up would be fair and reasonable. No one size fits all and this report is mistaken in leaving that im- pression. E-mail your comments on this opinion to steve.houston@durhamnews.net.

He was all business; a man of au- thority clearly focused on the task at hand. Looking up from his papers he bellowed, “Stay out of trouble or we’ll send you back.” My parents never forgot the words of that immigration official as they landed on these shores to join postwar Canada. Newcomers of the day re- spected that advice and their new land. Those who did not were in fact, “sent back”. That philosophy no longer ex- ists today. In the positive evolution of our country’s institutions and laws, the ministry of immigration has sadly de- teriorated into an expensive and mis- managed monument to incompetence. It is simply impossible for well- meaning individuals to engage in con- structive useful dialogue on this issue without the inevitable appearance of the tired ‘R’word. Those able to bring about positive change would rather ac- cept the status quo and avoid the issue entirely as opposed to running the risk of being branded a racist by special-in- terest groups. Our greatest problems exist within a fundamentally flawed and frighten- ingly expensive refugee program. While the majority of the world’s in- dustrialized nations find less than five per cent of refugee claimants to be le- gitimate, Canadian acceptance figures frequently exceed 75 per cent, a statis- tic even the United Nations finds ex- traordinary. Refugee status is sought under the premise an individual faces certain persecution or death upon return to his homeland. Why then do thousands of claimants apply for visitor’s visas to return to their homeland once their sta- tus has been granted? Would it be safe to assume their applications were ex- aggerated or fraudulent? Why do we grant refugee status to individuals in our federal prisons? On average there are 10 such claims each month. Why are newcomers allowed to accumulate numerous convictions for assorted crimes with no fear of de- portation? The questions are many, the answers are few. We’ve been blessed. From the beginning the brightest and best of the world have come to Cana- da. Newcomers have helped fight our wars, build our cities and railroads, settled and farmed the land. They have freely given their blood, their sweat, their lives. We, as a nation, can afford to be selective. It’s time to plug the holes in the system. We do not need to give lawbreakers a second chance or provide questionable refugee appli- cants an endless appeal process. We owe it to the immigrants of yes- terday and today who simply seek to live in peace, respecting the laws of this great land. If you agree, call your MP today.

STK #4683A $29,9884x4 SPORTOnly33,000 KMSNEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 20, 2001 PAGE 7 AP BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Creating opportunities that encourage developers to build affordable housing in Durham is the aim of a new Regional task force. Durham council voted April 11 to set up the Region- al Chairman’s Task Force on Affordable/Sustainable Housing in an effort to ad- dress the lack of reasonably priced housing across the Re- gion. “Our problem right now is we spend an awful lot of time worrying and fighting about the administration of hous- ing,” said Pickering Council- lor Maurice Brenner, who spearheaded the drive to cre- ate the task force. “We’ve got to get back into providing af- fordable and sustainable housing.” Coun. Brenner has pro- posed the task force be formed with membership from groups such as the Urban Development Institute (UDI) and the Durham Re- gion Homebuilders Associa- tion, as well as the non-profit housing sector to develop strategies to create sustain- able housing here. According to Coun. Bren- ner, there hasn’t been any new social housing in Durham since 1995. And, that’s created a backlog of ap- plications. He reported the current waiting list includes approximately 4,700 appli- cants, noting it could take be- tween three to five years for those people to be placed. “Through the creation of a task force, we have the ability to review with the private sec- tor what are the barriers that impede them from bringing forward a range of affordable and sustainable housing in Durham Region,” Coun. Brenner stated in a recent re- port to the health and social services committee. “Through this type of dia- logue an action plan can be presented to council that could establish incentives re- sulting in a willingness on the part of the private sector to become involved in the con- struction of a stock of afford- able, sustainable housing across the Region.” Coun. Brenner has sug- gested a target of 500 units a year, including rentals and homes that can be purchased, as being realistic. He noted that figure represents 10 per cent of the existing waiting list in Durham Region. He also pointed out, “In determining the housing needs for Durham, it is im- portant to note that sustain- able and affordable housing is not just rental but also the ability to become a new home purchaser.” And, he believes a good example of affordable owner- ship is the work done by Habitat for Humanity, which has built several homes across the Region, including three in Pickering, in recent years. “We need to find some creative mechanisms,” he said, noting municipalities have the ability to either waive or adjust development charges for social housing. “I’m optimistic by work- ing as a team we can make some headway,” he said. The task force will submit its findings to Durham coun- cil this fall.

The Durham Family Court Clinic is seeking vol- unteers to serve on its volun- teer board of directors for a two-year term. The non-prof- it agency has been serving Durham Region for more than 20 years. The group pro- vides clinical assessment ser- vices to children, youth and families who are before the court, mediation services for separating and divorcing cou- ples and clinical services to high-risk youth. Currently, the group is working on improving these services and is looking for candidates who can help bring together community and government resources to assist with this task. The candidate should also be willing to devote time to marketing and fund-raising activities. Individuals inter- ested in a volunteer board po- sition must be 18 years of age or older and be a resident of Durham Region. The board meets monthly, with additional regular com- mittee meetings. Selected candidates must also submit a criminal reference check. To receive a nomination information package and form, contact Yvonne at 905- 436-6754 ext. 22 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Nomina- tion forms must be received by Friday, May 4, 2001. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 20, 2001 PAGE 9 A/P Trustees vote to take a moment for ‘reflection’ But motion is for public board members, not Durham Region students BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer Public school board trustees have decided to take a moment of silence before the national anthem at regular board meet- ings. “You can refer to it as a kind of reflection,” said Ajax Ward 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Craw- ford, who made the motion. Trustees could use the mo- ment to think of a local child who has died, to say a private prayer, or as a time of thank- fulness, she suggested. Trustee Crawford said it would be “a wise use of time” and later ‘begged’ her colleagues to ap- prove the motion. “I think one minute of si- lence in a long day... is not a whole lot to ask for,” said Scu- gog Trustee Martin Demmers. “To me, it would help us to focus our thoughts on students and teachers, what we are about.” However, some trustees felt a moment was not required. “If this does pass, maybe (trustees) want to reflect on using time wisely,” quipped Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hop- per. Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine said she does her preparation for meetings before she arrives at the Educa- tion Centre in Whitby. “A minute is too short a time to reflect on the issues,” she said. “I would hope we all do that before we start the in-camera meeting (which comes before the public meeting).” Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen said when her brother was killed in an accident, her school held a moment of si- lence in his memory. “I can’t tell you how much that meant to me,” she said. Perhaps anticipating the re- action of some colleagues and members of the public, Trustee Steffen said the moment was not “for religious intent, but to acknowledge students who have passed away.” The place of religion and prayer in public schools has been explosive issues at the board table for years. Last No- vember, after an 18-month process, trustees rejected a book of inspirational secular and non-secular readings for use in schools at the start of the day. So did 74 of 96 school community councils and community groups who reviewed it. Student representative Chris Skin- ner suggested the moment of reflec- tion sounded a bit contrived, and that trustees should not have to set aside time for that purpose. “I just don’t see it as a necessary thing,” he said. Trustees passed the motion in a 6- 5 recorded vote. In favour were trustees Demmers, Steffen, Melinda Crawford, Paul Crawford (Pickering), Marilyn Crawford (Ajax Wards 1 & 2) and Susan Shetler (Oshawa). Trustees Hopper, Loraine, Doug Ross, Jennifer Bridge and Elizabeth Roy were against the motion. Student trustees Skinner and Karmyn Giesbrecht opposed the mo- tion.

The communications manager at the Durham District School Board is retiring this week after a 15-year career. “Golfing, gardening, reading, all the things I don’t have time to do or have to squeeze in now,” she said of her retirement plans. A 37-year Oshawa resident, Ms. Brown also plans to spend a lot more time with her husband and two daughters. She came to the board after previously running a small adver- tising agency and working in public relations. Ms. Brown said the people she worked alongside and the variety inherent in the job was what made it satisfying. “It’s always been a really in- teresting position because you just never know what’s around the corner,” she said. “It’s been challenging and interesting to be involved in over the years as funding and education changed. I think I’ll really miss the people. The people here are just marvel- lous. They work really hard on behalf of kids.” A high point of her career is the ‘Hey You’re Lookin’ Good This Summer’ contest, which en- courages schools to be good neighbours in their community by keeping their property clear of weeds and garbage, planting and maintaining gardens. Ms. Brown started the contest and visited each entrant to pick the winning schools. The program won national recognition from the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education. Ms. Brown did not want to talk about the low points, but she was certainly in the eye of the storm recently when a controversy over limiting the classroom use of the Harry Potter series of books at- tracted international media atten- tion. “I think you have to use a lot of common sense, and you have to be willing to listen to a lot of people’s point of view,” she said, noting residents phone the board to express their view on such is- sues. “Those calls generally come to me... You have to explain the board’s position and why (those decisions) were made.” Ms. Brown lists the revamping of education funding by the provincial government as the biggest change she has witnessed during her tenure at the board. “Before that, budget meetings were long and difficult, trying to meet everyone’s needs,” she said. “Now, none of that is possible simply because you can’t go to the community for funding any- more.” But Ms. Brown has found stu- dents and their needs have been constants. Her official last day was April 12, but Ms. Brown says she “will be around for a little while” as her replacement, Andrea Pidwer- becki, settles into the job.

FROM CAMPING TO SHOPPING FROM CAMPING FROM CAMPING TO SHOPPING FROM CAMPING TO SHOPPING FROM CAMPING TO SHOPPING CR-V EX $28,300 MSRP* DURHAM —Strong truck sales have spurred a re- birth of overtime at General Motors of Canada’s truck plant this spring. “We are putting some Saturdays back into the plant,” said company spokesman Faye Roberts. “The employees have been notified. It starts this Satur- day.” The company, reacting to a sales slump and a need to reduce inventory, cancelled all scheduled overtime for the first quarter of 2001 for the plant’s 3,600 employees and those at all other Cana- dian plants. Until then, the truck plant had regularly op- erated on overtime. Ms. Roberts said the de- mand for the Oshawa-pro- duced Sierra and Silverado trucks means overtime is called for again. Eight shifts of overtime are planned during April and May: April 21 and 28, May 5, 12 and 26. The 2,500 workers at Os- hawa’s No. 2 car plant, how- ever, still face two weeks of layoffs as the company con- tinues to reduce its car in- ventory. Those employees will be off the job the weeks of April 30 and May 7. Since the start of the year, the No. 2 plant has been idle for four weeks. The No. 1 car plant was shut down for one week.

They will join over 500 million people in over 164 countries in a wide variety of projects, activities, and events. These range from tree and native garden plantings, festivals, cultural events, and con- certs, workshops and semi- nars, to waste reduction pro- jects and the launching of proactive environmental programs. Celebrated annually on April 22, International Earth Day is about solutions. In Canada, the event has grown into Earth Weeks (April 14-29) to accommo- date the profusion of events that take place. Thousands of school, community, youth, and employee groups as well as environ- mental and conservation organizations are planning events that range from large scale public events to small, private ones. Earth Day Facts: • The first Earth Day was celebrated in the U.S. on April 22, 1970. A scant few Canadians participated in the first Earth Day. • The first International Earth Day took place on April 22, 1990. 2 million Canadians joined 200 mil- lion people in 141 countries in environmental activities and projects that addressed pollution and environmen- tal degradation. •Today, about 6 million Canadians participate in Earth Day activities across Canada. This includes schools, community groups, and employee groups. •Today, 500 million people in over 164 countries continue to celebrate International Earth Day. •School children are the most active Earth Day participants. Virtually every school child takes part in an Earth Day event. Earth Day is the third most important date on the school activities calendar (after Halloween and Christmas). • Earth Day events include tree plantings, neighbourhood clean-ups, workshops and seminars, concerts, eco-fairs, the launching/expansion of environmental programs, and much more. How Much Have Temperatures Increased? The theme for Earth Day 2001 is Climate Change: It hurts all of us. Climate Change is one of the most critical environ- mental issues facing humans and wildlife. Yet, recent polls conducted by Pollara, Corporate Research Associates Inc. and Earnscliffe Research and Communications indicate that Canadians don’t under- stand the urgency of the issue and are not engaged in addressing it. In fact, accord- ing to Pollara, only 18% of Canadians surveyed are very concerned about the negative impacts of climate change. The consen- sus among scien- tists is that the Earth has warmed by about 0.3 to 0.6 o C since the late 19 th century. And it could rise by another 1 to 3.5 o C in the next 100 years, with a dou- bling of C02 emis- sions. Environment Canada predicts an increase in annual mean tempera- tures in some Canadian regions between 5 and 10 o C. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, uncertain- ties exist, but the average rate of warming is expect- ed to be greater than any experi- enced in the last 10,000 years. The 1980s and 1990s were among the warmest decades on record. What can be done to slow down climate change? Canadians can reduce their CO2 emissions by: • Minimizing our depen- dence on fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas). • Using energy efficient technology. • Conserving our forests and wetlands. • Planting trees. • Car-pooling. • Becoming savvy conserva- tionists. • Adopting the reuse ethic. • Considering how our pre- sent actions will impact the future. • Lifestyle changes.

No matter the size or scope of the garden, find room for a rose or perhaps two or one hundred. Rose lovers know that even when the garden is complete a new introduction or AARS winner will certainly fuel the search for “I’m certain I have room for one more rose!” On a trellis, arbor or obelisk grow a climbing rose and be rewarded with a mass of flowers and delighted fra- grance. ‘Blaze Improve’ in red continues to be one of the more popular climbers - per- haps visions of our ancestors homestead with the white arbor loaded down with hun- dreds of blooms. New Dawn in light pink and ‘Coral Dawn’ in peachy pink are also excellent climbers. For added interest and to apply contrast plant ‘Joseph’s Coat’ a show-stopper with multi- toned blooms in yellow, orange fading to shades of red. Also available in climbers are the hardy ‘Explorer’ roses - varieties include ‘William Baffin’ (pink), ‘John Cabot’ (deep pink to red), or ‘Henry Kelsey’ (red). Hybrid teas, floribun- das and grandifloras come in a vast array of colours and fragrances. Unsure of what to buy? Choose AARS (American Association Rose Selection) winners - these roses have been grown in tri- als and have been chosen for outstanding performance, flower form and shape, fra- grance, and insect and dis- ease resistance. ‘Glowing Peace’ a yellow/orange gran- diflora and ‘Marmalade Skies’, an orange floribunda are 2001 AARS winners. Previous selections include ‘Double Delight’ (1977) elect- ed to the Rose Hall of Fame as one of the most popular roses of the last 25 years; ‘Mister Lincoln’ (1965), ‘Tropicana’ (1963), and ‘Peace’ (1946). Limited space allows the option of carpet roses or miniatures - a welcome addi- tion close to the front door if there is ample sun. ‘The Fairy’ is a gently branching pink which produces blooms up until frost. Use ‘Our Rosy Carpet’ or ‘Ivory Carpet’ as a ground cover instead of creeping perennials. Now is the ideal time to plant roses as they are still dormant or first starting to bud.

Tom Green aims low with ‘Freddy Got Fingered’ Following are the new movie releases being screened this weekend at cinemas in Ajax and Pickering. CROCODILE DUNDEE IN LOS ANGELES Starring: Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, Serge Cockburn, Paul Rodriguez, Aida Turtur- ro. Directed by Simon Wincer. Mick Dundee is an adventur- er in the truest sense. He is an ace crocodile hunter who lives in the wilds of the Australian Outback. He has even survived the dangers of New York City. However, his latest adven- ture may be the biggest test for him yet. Mick is travelling to that bizarre netherworld — Los An- geles, California. Wrestling crocodiles is nothing compared to swimming with the sharks in Los Angeles. Accompanying Mick and Sue this time is their young son, Mikey (Cockburn). In Chapter 3 of the saga, Sue (Kozlowski), his American- born significant other, is tem- porarily assigned to the Los An- geles bureau of her father’s newspaper. The original bureau chief died under suspicious cir- cumstances and Sue is called back to fill in. Mick, going through a slow period as a croc- odile wrangler, thinks it’s a good time to expose nine-year- old son Mikey to the world out- side their small Australian town of Walkabout Creek. For the amiable Mick, he not only gets to play dad and tourist in Los Angeles, but also a sleuth from Down Under when he ac- cidentally gets caught up in Sue’s investigation. (Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Pickering Town Cen- tre, Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas). FREDDY GOT FINGERED Starring Drew Barrymore, Marisa Coughlan, Tom Green, Julie Hagerty, Eddie Kaye Thomas. Directed by Tom Green. Gord’s (Green) desire to please his father comes from his special — well, OK, bizarre in- nocence. He also has an endearing sense of curiosity about every- thing, whether it’s getting too friendly with a horse on a stud farm, dancing inside a deer car- cass, or wreaking havoc inside a hospital delivery room. Gord’s just an overgrown boy with a wild imagination. But when the 28-year-old Gord decides he wants to be an animator, quits his job at a cheese factory and returns home to live in his par- ents’basement, his father is nei- ther amused nor proud. Dad thinks Gord is a slacker and should give up his dream of “doodling” for a living, grow up, get a real job and get out of the house. But Gord won’t budge, and father and son em- bark on an all-out war that ends up taking them halfway around the world.

CHUM 1050 SIGNS OFF AND I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU! I listened to CHUM when I was a teenager and when it went to playing the old hits it became the only station I could tolerate on the AM dial. It brought back a lot of fond memories. Now it’s gone, replaced by a 24 hour sports station as of May 7. One of those memories I shared in an earlier article was going to see the Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1966. When our store first opened my brother Bob gave me a CHUM CHART from 1966 to commemorate our new store. He gave it to me because on the back of the CHUM CHART was an advertisement for Dairy Queen. It was advertising a burger value meal sale. A burger, fries and a drink regular 90 cents was on sale for 59 cents! Read on for a surprise. That ad in 1966 proves a point I have been making since we opened. DQ has been serving burgers for a long time! DQ has been serving burgers for almost 50 years! The incredible surge in the popularity of the Dairy Queen soft serve products in the last 30 years has literally overshadowed the excellent fast food that we serve. Many customer’s eyes pop wide open when they see our salads and chicken products as well. However, ask any regular customer about our FLAME BROILED BURGERS (never fried) and they will tell you how good they are. It’s hard to beat our combination of price and value and no one offers a sundae, let alone our 2.19 world famous DQ sundae for only 99 cents when you buy a burger value meal. You can redeem that 99 cent sundae any day, any month, any year. Below you will see a copy of the back of the CHUM CHART from May 2, 1966. “Monday, Monday” by the Mommas and Papas was #1 on the CHUM CHART. I will recreate that 59 cent sale if you cut around the dotted line of the whole ad and bring it in. I’ll give you our regular burger or the small fries or the small Misty (no substitutes) for only 59 cents each. Or you can have all three for 59 cents each with the CHUM CHART. It will be good till April 30th, 2001. DRIVE THRU P LA Y PA LACE NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 20, 2001 PAGE 25 A/P Writers’ circle has month of events planned DURHAM —Learn how to im- prove your writing through a series of workshops from The Writers’ Cir- cle of Durham Region (WCDR). Among the topics up for discus- sion are magazine, advertising and ‘proprioceptive’ writing. Proprioceptive writing is a medi- tational practice that helps writers break through writing blocks. Annie Jacobsen, a certified teacher of proprioceptive writing, leads the workshop April 21 at the Whitby Public Library. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a cost of $40 for WCDR members and $45 to non-members. To register call Lois at 905-259- 6520. Once they’ve overcome writing blocks, writers can learn how to sell their stories to magazines. On April 28, Gabrielle Bauer, an award-winning author, will lead the workshop, ‘Ready, Set, Byline’. This session is designed to teach people how to prepare an article out- line, discover a magazine’s needs and more. This workshop runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Pickering Central Library Auditorium. The cost is $20 for WCDR members and $25 for non-members. Call Bauer at 416-264-8231 to register. Once you’ve sold a magazine on your idea, Barbara Frank, president of McLeod and Frank Corporate Cat- alysts and executive producer of ‘Business Buffet’ a help-yourself se- ries, will be hosting a breakfast workshop on how to make the busi- ness aspects of writing easier. The workshop will take place May 12 between 8:30 to 11 a.m. at the Iro- quois Sports Centre Sports Garden Café, 50 Victoria St. W. in Whitby. The breakfast meeting is $12 for WCDR members and $15 for non- members. Since the event will be catered and seating is limited, call the WCDR at 905-259-6520 before May 10 to re- serve a seat. The last workshop in the series deals with advertising writing. On May 26 at the Pickering Cen- tral Library Auditorium, Dorothea Helms leads ‘Getting the word out: ad writing for print and radio’. Helms, who owns the Write Stuff Writing Services, a communications and ad agency, will present an overview of what ad writing involves and how it differs from the literary style. Registration is required before May 19 and the workshop is $45 for WCDR members and $50 for non- members.

Pelan is a member of the Skyriders Trampoline Place in Richmond Hill. Pickering teen tramples the competition PICKERING —A Picker- ing trampolinist bounced to a higher plateau with a silver- medal showing at the 2001 Provincial Trampoline Champi- onships in Etobicoke. Evan Pelan, 14, represented the Richmond Hill Skyriders Trampoline Place in his first-ever provincial championship, held April 6 to 8. Competing in the national novice men’s division, Pelan finished second with a total score of 83.55 behind Skyriders’teammate Sean Butler with a 84.43 score. Pelan, a Grade 9 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, was obviously satisfied with his work. “I was very pleased with my- self,” said Pelan, who’s been in the sport for the past four years. “There was tough competition there, but it was a lot of fun too.” In order to get to the provin- cials, Pelan took part in three qualifying events. He placed sec- ond in the first qualifier in Kingston, seventh in Toronto and seventh again at the final qualifi- er in Ottawa. As a result of his second- place finish at provincials, Pelan earned a berth at the National Tumbling and Trampoline Championships at Humber Col- lege in Toronto May 15 to 20. Pelan said he’s looking for- ward to a good performance at his first national-level competi- tion next month. “I’m hoping for a good result. I’m hoping for the best, although I don’t know how well I’m going to do,” he said. The provincial medal and the nationals berth have been the cul- mination of a solid season for Pelan. In February, he travelled to the National Age Group Tram- poline Championships in Burna- by B.C. where he finished fourth in the national novice division. Pelan said his ultimate goal is to eventually earn a spot on the Canadian trampoline team for the Olympics. “That is my main goal. I plan to take it as far as I can.” PICKERING —Four Pickering members of the Os- hawa-based Gemini Gymnas- tics turned in outstanding re- sults at the 2001 Burlington Spring Cup this past weekend.

Y O U ’V E EARNED IT. TM you want the taste of DURHAM —The Durham West Lightning Ontario Power Generation atom girls’ team went undefeated en route to win the ‘C’ championship at the recent Oshawa Girls Hockey As- sociation Tournament. Durham West met Whitby in the championship game, prevailing 2-1 in overtime. It was the second well- played contest between the two at the tournament, and followed an earlier 1-1 tie. Whitby took an early 1-0 lead in the final, scoring 1:35 into the first period. The Lightning tied it up late in the period on a short-handed goal from the point by Kelly Vickers. End- to-end play in the third period was unable to break the deadlock. In over- time, the strong forechecking of the forward line of Jennifer Masterton, Lindsey Riches and Lindsay Knipe, backed up by the defensive pair of Katie Lakics and Lauren Sears, was too much for Whitby to handle. With 45 seconds gone in the extra frame, Masterton scored the winning goal from Riches. Durham West started the tourna- ment with a 2-2 draw against Stouf- fville. Stouffville struck first, but Durham West responded with two goals by Samantha Switzer to take a 2-1 lead. Katie Watson drew an assist on Switzer’s second goal. Stouffville, however, tied it up late in the second period. Both teams tightened up de- fensively in the third and, as a result, neither team was able to score. Switzer was chosen the game’s most valuable player. Durham West and Whitby played to a 1-1 draw in Game 2. Whitby took a 1-0 lead midway through the second period, before Durham West tied it up late in the second period on a break- away by Alana Anderson, assisted by Renee Bonneau. The defensive play of Lakics, Sears, Katie Watson, Lisa Azuma, Jaclyn Greer and especially Vickers was outstanding in limiting Whitby’s best player to one goal. Game MVP Melissa Nicholls was outstanding in net, turning away nu- merous scoring chances. The atoms played the host Oshawa squad in Game 3. The Lightning took a 2-0 lead only to have it wiped out by two Oshawa goals late in the third period. With under a minute to play, Durham West had to play for the win in order to secure a spot in the final round and elected to go with the extra attacker. With 10 second to play, Vickers scored the winning goal, as- sisted by Switzer. The other goals were scored by game MVP Bonneau and Riches. Assisting were Switzer, Nicole Sylvester and Bonneau. The hard work of centre Jessica Hall throughout the tournament was instrumental in limiting opposition scoring. Also noted for her strong play along the boards was Jennifer Sylvester. The team is coached by Mark La- kics, assisted by Sandi Howlett. The trainer is Mike Thompson.

Caesar’s, by virtue of a slim 33-29 victory over the bankers, will meet Se- lect Food Products in the league cham- pionship next Wednesday. Select ad- vance to the final after edging East Side Mario’s by an identical 33-29 score. In the opening semifinal game, Caesar’s was dominant from the tipoff, using its height advantage to gain re- bounds and put points on the board. The bankers were slow to settle in the first half, but went on the attack in the second. With its speed and accurate shooting, the Bank of Montreal closed the gap. Under mounting pressure, Caesar’s called a time out and on the restart used up the clock by keeping possession to hold on for the victory. Lana Letourneau had a game-high 15 points. Debi Bonar replied with eight for the bankers. In the other semifinal, both Select Food Products and East Side Mario’s played excellent defence and, as a re- sult, scoring opportunities were low. In the second half, Mario’s took the ini- tiative and held a small lead, but Select came back strongly and as Mario’s got into foul trouble, Select used free throws to steal the lead. At the buzzer, Select held on for the win. Carol Stephenson netted 15 for Se- lect. Julie Hughes scored 17 for East Side. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering.

Pickering Ontario, L1V 6P7 PICKERING —The Pickering belle ‘B’ team fell just short of the gold medal after dropping a close con- test to Oshawa in the divi- sion final at the Regional Ringette Championships in Ajax April 6 to 8. In the gold-medal game, Pickering lost a close 5-4 match. Leading the way was Brittany Taylor with a solid two-goal performance. Kim Fregona and Lisa Murison supplied individual markers. Julie Hull chipped in with two assists and Christie Bar- low and Murison provided one apiece. Michelle Vitale and Wendy Taylor were strong defensively for Pick- ering. In the opening game against Whitby, Pickering won 5-2 with solid perfor- mances from Jessica Cater, who netted two goals plus an assist, and Hull who had a goal and an assist. Jen Han- nen and Barlow also chipped in with goals, while Wendy Taylor and Aline Lapierre earned assists. Ivana Sajovic put in a solid performance in goal. In Game 2 against Ennis- more, Pickering was victori- ous 4-2. Hannen, Cater, Hull and Fregona scored for Picker- ing. Hull also contributed two assists and Lapierre, Barlow and Murison added one assist apiece. Sajovic was once again outstanding. In a hard-fought, penalty- filled game against Ajax, Pickering battled to a 5-5 tie with the hosts. The contest was marred by 34 minutes of combined penalties. After two opening goals by Cater, Pickering found itself down 4-2 to a swarming Ajax squad. That’s when Fregona found her magic and scored three consecutive goals in the space of one minute and nine seconds. Ajax later scored to tie the game. Hull and Hannen supplied solid performances as they each had three assists. Brittany Taylor and Murison also pro- vided assists. Amanda Wallace was sidelined for the entire tour- nament, but she nevertheless cheered on her teammates throughout the event. The Pickering team staff is Pat Hannen, Rob Cater, Barry Wallace, Mary Barlow and Dagmar Sajovic.
