BLACK DOG PUB (416) 286-4544 www.blackdogpub.com 1800 FINE RESTAURANT (416) 281-2180 www.180finedining.com Capital funding bid shot down Durham says no to hospitals BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —The Region’s refusal to help fund construction projects at area hospitals is a “se- rious setback” for health-care fa- cilities here, say hospital officials who claim the health and safety of residents is at risk if the facilities aren’t expanded. “We’re extremely devastated by the decision that was made... and the lack of support,” said Bruce Cliff, chief operating officer for the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre, during a press conference in Whitby Thursday. “It’s a serious setback for us, a serious blow.” Mr. Cliff was responding to the outcome of Wednesday’s Regional council meeting during which councillors declined to make any financial contribution to local hos- pitals. He also noted Thursday, “This is not a safe situation. We’re on the brink of having some serious dis- asters here.” However, councillors did sup- port a motion introduced by Ajax Mayor Steve Parish stating Durham is prepared to become a partner in funding local hospital expansions if the Province agrees to increase its contribution and allow municipalities to levy devel- opment charges to help fund hos- pital expansions. “Everybody knows that health care and hospital funding is the re- sponsibility of the Province,” Mayor Parish said, adding the fed- eral government also has a role to play in funding health care. “The motion seeks to say to the Province, ‘You must come back to the table’,” he added. “We have to have development charge revenue in order to support hospitals.” But, hospital officials claim even if the Province changed the funding formula for hospitals and amended the DC Act, those changes wouldn’t happen soon enough to address the current cri- sis in local health-care facilities.

Durham changes position on pipe Region backs Pickering on York proposal Durham budget calls for 5.2-per cent hike –– SEE PAGE 8 See HOSPITALS page 4 BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham is wading into the debate over York Region’s proposal to build a water pipeline through Pickering. And, this time, the Region’s position is in support of the City. Regional councillors voted 26- 1 at Wednesday’s council meet- ing to support Pickering council in its opposition to the proposed pipeline, reversing a three-com- mittee decision adopted a day earlier when councillors turned down a request from Pickering asking for the Region’s support. “I don’t know how much stronger a message can be sent,” said Pickering Councillor Mau- rice Brenner in an interview Thursday, noting both school boards, the City, community members and now the Region have voiced their opposition to project, which would see a water main constructed from Lake On- tario through Pickering and into York. “Durham Region as a commu- nity is 100 per cent behind Pick- ering,” Coun. Brenner said, adding he’s hopeful the Region’s position will be an incentive to York Region to look elsewhere to find a solution to meet the long- term water supply needs for the area. Pickering Councillor Mark Holland, who introduced the mo- tion Wednesday asking his col- leagues to support Pickering’s position, said Thursday he was surprised at the vote. “I thought it was going to be close,” he said, noting the only councillor who voted against his motion was Oshawa Councillor John Gray.

Holland reported the Region’s new position is now consistent with the stand Pick- ering has taken on the issue. The City has always been opposed to the project but is working with York on a series of mitigation measures to en- sure the municipality and its residents are compensated should the pipeline be built here. Coun. Holland noted the Region will also still have the opportunity to be at the table if the project goes ahead. “It’s going to be a huge help,” he said of Wednesday’s vote. “Every agency but the Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority has come out in opposition to this project.” Regional councillors also supported a recommendation from the tri-committee to ask York Region to investigate working with Peel or Toronto to meet its long-term water supply needs before imple- menting its Durham west plan. The Region has also out- lined a list of conditions York will have to meet if the envi- ronment minister grants ap- proval for the project. The minister’s decision is expected this fall.

Durham Regional Police said the victim and his brother were working on the vehicle at a resi- dence on Sideline 20, between the 7th and 8th Concession, at 9:20 p.m. The man was pouring gasoline into the carburetor when the truck backfired, spark- ing the flames, police said. The man was rushed to Markham-Stouffville Hospital with burns to 25 per cent of his body, while his brother was treated for burns to his hands as a result of trying to smother the flames, police said. Two injured in car fire BUYER BEWARE: 13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs - on top of the purchase price - that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you’re not informed and prepared. Some of these costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. While not all of these costs will apply in every situation, it’s better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly. Remember, buying a home is a major milestone, and whether it’s your first, second or tenth, there are many small but important details, not to mention stress and excitement, to deal with during the process. The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations in the hours before you take possession of your new home. To help homebuyers understand what these extra costs are, and in what situations they may apply, a free industry report has been prepared called “13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home”.

SPECIAL PURCHASE $899 99 “Any delay is going to re- sult in adverse conse- quences,” Lakeridge Health chief of staff Dr. Robin Davies told councillors at Wednesday’s meeting. “The only way we can ensure (Durham residents have) ac- cess to health-care services is to provide it ourselves.” But, Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt pointed out “There is no quick fix to this”. He added, “The hospital community has been remiss in not doing its advanced planning.” But, hospital officials re- ported they have been plan- ning ever since the Health Services Restructuring Commission outlined its vi- sion for health care in On- tario several years ago. And, Mr. Cliff said Thursday Durham’s deci- sion “puts all the planning we’ve done on hold for all the hospitals in Durham Re- gion. “This is not a good situa- tion. I don’t believe this is the end of the discussion by any means... people are still going to need health care.” Brian Lemon, head of the Lakeridge Health Corpora- tion, said Thursday morning, “We were really counting on the support from the Re- gion... to continue with the expansion (of the Oshawa site). “We’re definitely not giv- ing up on getting funding from the Region. “So many other regions have supported hospital expansions... it will be very difficult for us to move forward without that kind of support in Durham Region.” Meanwhile, several coun- cillors complained Wednes- day the $300,000 the hospi- tals reportedly spent on a joint advertising campaign to raise public awareness of the need for hospital expan- sions here was money that could have been better spent in providing direct care to patients. “The campaign was not only, I think, excessive in dollars, but it was one that was obsessive,” said Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond. “I have never seen such an angry response (to an adver- tising campaign).” But, Gale Mossman, past-chairman of the Rouge Valley Health System and a member of the Durham Hos- pitals Expansion Group, told councillors the hospitals were simply trying to raise awareness about the needs here.

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser May 4, 2001 Don’t bring down the curtain on special memories To the editor, I recently attended my daugh- ter’s school play at Alexander Gra- ham Bell Public School. As the cast gathered on stage for the final tu- multuous curtain call, I was bathed in the warm joy of that incompara- ble group high as parents, children, staff, teachers and administrators grin wildly and clap until their hands hurt. There are hugs all round and children who may have had a detention the day before are calling on their parents to rise out of their seats to salute their teachers. I cried as I always do at these functions, as I always have for the 13 years I have had children in the elementary school system. But this time my elation was tainted with the knowledge that these days of shared experience and learning are almost at an end, for next year I will have three children in high school. There I will be lucky to meet my children’s teachers for five minutes in the chaos of Meet the Teacher Night. I remember that same high when I was in high school on the closing nights of plays. My husband got the same rush after every basketball game or track and field meet. High school reunions were just as much about meeting those beloved teach- ers again as they were about seeing old friends. Anyone who thinks most teach- ers aren’t aching to re-establish ex- tracurricular activities should have been there last week at my daugh- ter’s school. They should have seen the pride on those teachers’ faces and the outpouring of affection. You simply don’t get that in math class or science. Thank you, Mr. Beales (he wrote and directed the play) and all the other teachers involved in the production last week. Thank you to all the teachers my children have had over the years, who inspired them and challenged them or groaned with them when the team did not make the final round. Please, Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker, give the teachers back their time and give them and our children a reason to love school again before it’s too late. Mary Delaney, Brougham Regional councillors can’t say they weren’t warned. When we’re all screaming about the horrible state of our hospitals five or 10 years from now, we’ll be able to go to our regional representatives and ask them why they weren’t willing to con- tribute something — anything — to- ward needed expansion. It was so easy for our councillors to throw another $10 million this year at the police who, get this, actually wanted a $20-million increase. You can count on the police to demand, and probably get, another $10 million or more next year to meet what Chief Kevin McAlpine called “an expensive busi- ness”. It should be noted the police are now accounting for a huge chunk of the 5.2 per cent regional tax increase and it should also be noted crimes of violence are on the rise. Does that mean we’re becoming a safer community as we spend millions more on policing? The statistics don’t bear that out. Even a token $2-million contribution to a hospital reserve fund, less than one per cent of the $240-million regional budget, was turned down flat. It’s hard to understand how regional councillors, so quick to point to the eco- nomic advantages of locating in Durham, won’t spend a penny to im- prove hospitals. Don’t they realize the quality of health care here is of prime importance when businesses and work- ers decide where they’ll move? Faced with a choice of severely underfunded and overstressed hospitals in Durham, or better, updated facilities in other parts of the GTA, Durham will lose out. Those who claim hospital expansion is only a federal and provincial respon- sibility are wrong, wrong, wrong. Hos- pital expansion has always been a shared-cost venture with senior levels of government supplying anywhere from 50-70 per cent of the cost and local communities through charitable contri- butions and/or regional/municipal levies of one sort or another kicking in the rest. It’s unfortunate those against region- al participation were able to push the fed/provincial 100-per-cent-of-the-cost argument. That will not happen. Re- gional councillors have bought into this thinking and now we sit without the prospect of anything being done. As a result, we can expect to lose top-notch specialists, doctors and nurses in years to come as these highly trained medical professionals will look to better hospi- tals for work. Lineups will get longer and longer at emergency departments that are nowhere near adequate, even now, for Durham’s ever-growing and aging population. We could have done something about this right here in Durham but our councillors chose to do nothing. Re- member that when you desperately need quality medical attention and it’s just not there.

EDITORIAL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Councillors blew their chance on health care Now Durham faces frightening uncertainty Having survived the annual shake- down by our government known as the tax season, it occurs to me a flat-tax system is long overdue. I’m sure you’ve heard about it, in one variation or another. It is a single taxation rate, applied to all, regardless of income level or financial circum- stance. In its simplest form it is a tax system without tax brackets, exemp- tions, credits, deductions, and to a large degree, tax lawyers and accoun- tants. Several political hopefuls have vig- orously endorsed variations of the flat tax system both in Canada and the U.S. They lament the current system of taxation as unfair and inequitable. They bemoan the immense collection bureaucracy and the expense associat- ed with it. Some even go so far as to assert the system’s complexity leaves it prone to manipulation by those with the wealth and expertise to exploit its loopholes. These politicians though, invariably reconsider their position as their polit- ical stars rise. They amend their plan to include selected exemptions, income thresholds or other measures. Ultimately, they often scrap their plan entirely and propose a few in- significant amendments to the existing tax system. In recent years, most levels of gov- ernment have acknowledged we are taxed to death (although the final mug- ging doesn’t actually take place until estate taxes are assessed shortly there- after). They tell us they want to relieve our burden. They tell us it’s time for tax cuts. And so the shell game begins. The federal government reduces taxes with great fanfare while they qui- etly manipulate programs such as em- ployment insurance and the Canada Pension Plan to reduce benefits while increasing premiums. They also elimi- nate or download previous federal re- sponsibilities to the Province. We are expected to applaud our benevolent leaders on Parliament Hill. The provincial government reduces our taxes with great fanfare while they quietly rework eligibility and benefits for such programs as Workplace Safe- ty Insurance Board and social assis- tance, sell or privatize provincial assets and increase fees and requirements through the Ministry of Transporta- tion. They also eliminate or download previous provincial responsibilities to the municipality. We are expected to applaud our benevolent leaders at Queen’s Park. The municipal government protests the downloading while slashing pro- grams, instituting user fees, and rais- ing property taxes. We are expected to applaud our benevolent leaders at City Hall for their ‘tough choices’. There is only one taxpayer, but un- fortunately the right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left hand is doing until they meet in his wallet.

Regional politicians voted 24-2 at Wednesday’s council meeting to ap- prove Durham’s 2001 capital and oper- ating budgets totalling $240 million. The budget means police will receive an additional $10 million, local hospi- tals won’t receive a penny and Regional property taxpayers will be paying an in- crease of approximately 5.2 per cent this year. Finance commissioner Jim Clapp re- ports the tax hike, which doesn’t include the impact from the recent property re- assessments or the government’s tax policy changes, translates into an addi- tional $56 on a home assessed at $150,000. He reports council will con- sider the final impact on this year’s tax rates May 23. The budget also allows for a special levy for roads rehabilitation projects, in- creased funding for conservation au- thorities and more money for other Re- gional operations such as land ambu- lance services. Durham councillors had set a budget guideline of 6.5 per cent for this year’s budget and the recommendation from the finance and administration commit- tee that went to council Wednesday called for an increase of 6.28 per cent. However, councillors voted 15-12 to support a motion by Oshawa Councillor Clare Aker to use $2 million from the Region’s rate stabilization fund (RSF) to offset the tax impact on residents. “The RSF is a surplus we have over- taxed the citizens of Durham Region in the past,” she said. “I would suggest it would be only prudent that we start to return those monies... in order to reduce the impact on the taxpayers this year.” Mr. Clapp told councillors the bal- ance in the RSF is $25.8 million. He also reported about $12 million of that is earmarked to finance the new Hillsdale Manor in Oshawa and noted roughly $4.5 million of the $7.2 million surplus from 2000 is being used in the 2001 budget. Mayor Nancy Diamond, who along with Oshawa Councillor John Gray did not support the overall budget, raised concerns about the level of spending in Durham this year, particularly regarding the police budget. “There is always room to make improvements,” she said in supporting an unsuccessful motion by Pickering Councillor Mark Holland to hold the police to the $80-million target council set for their budget this year. But, the police reported if any further cuts were made, no new officers would be hired this year. Meanwhile, councillors also voted 18-8 against a motion by Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs to set aside $2 million from the RSF in a reserve ac- count for hospitals. “I’m asking in light of all or our de- bate today that we identify dollars that have already been acquired, that are available to use, that have no impact on the levy,” Mayor Arthurs said. He also noted the contribution would “speak to our partnership... it would speak to the health-care needs within the Region.” Last 3 days!

The junior and intermediate teams from St. Christopher Catholic Elemen- tary School came out on top in the com- petition that challenges four-person teams of Catholic elementary students to find creative solutions to a problem they are presented with and dramatically per- form their best response. “It is coming into its own,” Debbie Lukow, Think Bowl co-chairman, says of the competition held since 1998. “The teams that do the best are the ones that have done it before, because the first year’s always the hardest.” That held true for the Oshawa school, which has been involved in Think Bowl every year since it began. St. Christopher’s junior team of grades 4 to 6 pupils barely beat out the team from St. Matthew Catholic Ele- mentary School in Whitby. The Oshawa team finished with 101 out of a possible 125 points, while the St. Matthew ju- niors scored 100.75. A second Whitby team, from St. Bernard Catholic Ele- mentary School, finished third with 99.25 points. St. Bernard’s intermediate team of grades 7 and 8 students finished second with 98.25 points, behind St. Christo- pher’s 100.25 points. Third place went to the team from Holy Cross Catholic School in Oshawa, which scored 92.25 points. The top three teams in each division received medals. Rookie coach Aisling Deehan, a Grade 5 teacher at St. Christopher, said she would love to be involved in the competition again after she returns from a maternity leave. “The teams were absolutely amaz- ing,” she said, paying tribute to the “fan- tastic job” the St. Bernard teams did. Junior teams were challenged to de- velop a plan to deal with a society of in- creasingly sedentary people, which does not bode well for our collective health. The St. Christopher team determined the best solution was to start kids on the road to physical fitness early by getting them involved in activities at a younger age, said team member Gregory Paziuk, a Grade 6 student. Their performance in- volved creating a sports camp, where gust speakers such as Tiger Woods dropped by. Gregory said he likes Think Bowl be- cause it presents a challenge. “Sometimes, to tell you the truth, school gets a little boring,” he said. The intermediate teams were asked to consider the pros and cons of the vir- tual classroom and make a suggestion to their school board. Team member Teresa Labriola, a Grade 8 student, said the group decided it wasn’t ideal to have students working on computers at home all the time. Their solution was to bring the computers into the classroom, where students could still interact with each other and their teacher. The performance demonstrated the problems of educating students sole- ly at home, and the benefits of finding a balance between the traditional and vir- tual classroom. “Since I like acting, I like being able to present and come up with a lot of so- lutions,” she said. Gregory is excited about the upcom- ing provincial championships. “Oh yeah,” he noted. “Big time.” A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 4, 2001 Students step up to claim Think Bowl Oshawa school takes Durham honours in competition Potters guild hosts annual sale AJAX ––The Durham Potters Guild is holding its annual pottery sale at the Ajax Kinsmen Heritage Centre Sunday, May 6 between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. All pottery is handmade and was created by local potters.

The Ajax Public Library hosted the fi- nals of its ‘Battle of the Books’ at the McLean Community Centre on April 26. In the junior division, made up of stu- dents in grades 4 to 6, the team from Lin- coln Avenue Public School took home the gold medal and championship trophy. Teams made up of grades 7 and 8 stu- dents competed in the senior division, with St. Patrick Catholic Elementary School tak- ing home the gold and trophy. The success didn’t end there for St. Patrick. The school’s junior team finished second, while Southwood Park Public School finished third in the 11-school field. Southwood lost a tiebreaker for second in the senior division, settling for third be- hind Alexander Graham Bell Public School. Ten schools took part.

(ASI) of St. Catharines is applying to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) to provide supplemental effluent treatment to assist with the control of zebra mussels within the Ontario Power Generation Inc., Pickering A Nuclear Power Generating Station raw water supply system. The zebra mussel was introduced to the Great Lakes in 1986 and has since adversely impacted industrial and municipal water consumers throughout the region by colonizing the inside surfaces of facility piping. ASI is proposing to dechlorinate treated low pressure service water. The effluent (discharge) will be stringently monitored under guidelines set forth by the MOE for the removal of trace total residual chlorine prior to final discharge. The length of the program is approximately from May until November and will be performed on a yearly basis as required. The 2001 operation will begin approximately May 15, 2001.

According to Mr. Carson, the chron- ic overcrowding in Whitby is contribut- ing to increased stress and tension for both corrections staff and inmates. And he said guards are on the receiving end of violence as a result. “This facility was originally built to house 58 prisoners - it now has 165 in a typical week. On some weekends, when the intermittents come in, there are sometimes over 200,” he said. “People are sleeping on the floor, with their heads near the toilets. They’re all over the place.” The situation has deteriorated to such a level, said Mr. Carson, that the jail is forced to bus some in- mates as far away as Ottawa to re- lieve the overcrowding. “It’s ridiculous. Just think of the cost involved,” he said. “We take them there for a day or two and then have to bring them back.” Exacerbating the situation, the union said, is the threat by Correc- tions Minister Norm Sterling to privatise more Ontario correctional facilities, not just the 1,200-bed ‘superjail’ in Penetangushene, if guards did not cut their use of sick time. Under the current govern- ment, sick time use by corrections officers has risen from an average of 12 days per year in 1995 to 20 days per year in 2001. “The Harris government is de- liberately making scapegoats of correctional officers to provide a flimsy rationale for privatising prisons,” said OPSEU president Leah Casselman. She claims a comprehensive survey of 44 Ontario correctional facilities shows a direct link be- tween Correction Ministry policies and increased use of sick time by corrections staff. The union-com- missioned study details how severe overcrowding, program cuts and poor sanitation are causing in- creased violence, sickness and stress behind bars. “Excellent programs such as the Durham Crest halfway house and TAP (temporary absence pro- gram) have been shut down, putting increased pressure on Whitby Jail and our members,” said Mr. Carson. “We used to feel relatively safe going in to work. I don’t have that feeling any more.” FOR ALL YOUR APPLIANCE NEEDS Sales • Service Great selection! Great prices! Great service! New!

TO THE RESIDENTS OF PICKERING Spring Cleaning begins with Boiler Cleaning at Pickering Nuclear My name is Jamie Lawrie, Manager of Boiler Projects at Pickering Nuclear and I’m in charge of the plant’s boiler cleaning. It’s a pretty well known fact that keeping pots, pans or even a tea kettle clean can make them last longer. In the same way, we want to add years to the life of our boilers. In addition to preserving these valued appliances, this cleaning also helps our boilers operate more reliably by reducing the risk of future downtime due to boiler leaks. The process is completely safe and will have little impact on the Pickering community. You may see an increased amount of steam being released during ventilation. Some residents close to the station may notice a slight odour of ammonia. The entire operation will be monitored to meet Ministry of Environment standards and at no time, will health, safety or the environment be compromised.

The East Coast Trail on Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula runs parallel to the northbound humpback whales, the southbound arctic icebergs, and near a seabird colony where the populations number in the millions. This triple treat is avail- able nowhere else in the world. That alone makes the East Coast Trail unique, but the trail also passes through centuries-old fishing vil- lages with a strong Irish character. About 200 kilometres of trail has already been con- structed between St. John’s and Cape Broyle. The 11 separate paths that comprise this section range from an easy two- hour stroll along a gravel road to the abandoned vil- lage of La Manche, to a strenuous 18-km expedi- tion over hilly terrain to a wave-driven geyser called The Spout. All the paths have direc- tional signs, and a trail map shows the paths, their rat- ings of difficulty, and com- munity-based facilities along the way. In places like Bay Bulls and Witless Bay, you can take a break from the trail and hop a tour boat to the Witless Bay Ecological Re- serve. The whales tarry here in spring and summer for the same reason the seabirds nest on the reserve’s four islands: there’s lots of food, especially a vital food chain link called the caplin. This 20-centimetre long silvery smelt-like package of protein migrates inshore in the untold billions to spawn. Birds dive to scoop them up for hungry chicks tucked away in hillside bur- rows. The reserve is home to the second-largest Atlantic puffin colony in the north- west Atlantic, plus other birds such as the black- legged kittiwake and the common murre. All told, there are almost 300 seabird colonies in Newfoundland and Labrador. Humpbacks actually herd fish into dense schools, using air bubbles to surround their prey and sound to force them to the surface where they are quickly consumed. Caplin are usually tightly packed together anyway, which makes the whales’ job easi- er. Even though a hump- back can weigh 30 tonnes, it’s an incredibly graceful creature and can turn on a dime when it’s dinner time. Accommodations are available in five communi- ties between Petty Harbour and Cape Broyle, so it’s possible, with a bit of plan- ning, to hike between bed and breakfasts. This is the heart of Irish Newfoundland. The welcome is always warm, and the hospitality is all you could hope for. There’s always music in the air. Fiddles and tin whistles and accordions and voices ring out with the jigs, reels and airs brought to these shores from Ireland long ago. This music is the real thing, alive, not preserved, and proudly performed as an integral ingredient of identity. If you’d rather camp out, there’s a provincial park near La Manche in a beau- tiful little valley with a re- markable variety of wild- flowers. For more information on the East Coast Trail, you can call 709-738-4453, e- mail ecta@nf.aibn.com, or visit the Web site at www.ecta.nf.ca which has photos, links and much more. –– News Canada Whales, birds and bergs Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail leads to amazement Those using the East Coast Trail will likely see na- ture’s artwork in the waters of the Avalon Peninsula. P PAGE 18 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 4, 2001 Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER may 4, 2001 Archeology tours bring adventure to Newfoundland visitors Tour operators are turning to Newfoundland and Labrador for new cultural/ heritage and learning vaca- tion itineraries. The diversity and distinct mix of Euro- pean, Viking, and Aboriginal interpretative and active ar- chaeological sites dating back over 9,000 years make Newfoundland and Labrador globally significant destina- tions. Saga Holidays picked Newfoundland as its destina- tion for the new and highly popular ‘road scholar pro- gram’. Canadian Cultural Landscape’s Barry Lane of- fers Newfoundland and Labrador as one of its most popular ‘new’packages. And when Smithsonian Study Tours added ‘Wild New- foundland’ to its program, it quickly became one of its fastest selling new products. “A wonderful destination for time travellers” is how Archaeology Magazine edi- tor Angela Schuster de- scribes Newfoundland and Labrador. Schuster added, “The host of interpretation centres and ongoing archae- ological excavations provide insight into the lives of its first inhabitants, with each culture leaving its indelible mark on this dramatic, pris- tine landscape.” For hotel manager Chad Letto at the Northern Light Inn in Labrador there is something “invigorating” about sharing stories, songs and a baked apple pie around a cosy evening fire with these groups. When tourists return from a day that takes them to the 16th century Basque whaling station at Red Bay National Historic Site and inside the tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Cana- da at Point Amour, there is an undeniable sense of pride and place for Mr. Letto. For the visitor, there is a remarkable sense of discov- ery and fascination as they have ventured to one of the most inspiring parts of this great country and shared with its people their life his- tory. The Canadian Tourism Commission, Canadian Her- itage/Parks Canada, the gov- ernment of Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Tourism, Culture and Recre- ation, the Viking Trail Tourism Association, and the Colony Of Avalon have teamed up with academics from Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Ar- chaeological Institute of America’s Archaeological Magazine to develop itiner- aries and packages and cre- ate awareness of this ‘New Found Destination’.

Many people have found the traffic-laden trip to the cottage so exhausting that they have now “brought the cottage to the city”. Now with the addition of a garden pond, they are using their yard more than ever. A water feature can be anything from a tiny piece of statuary with water bubbling through it, surrounded by mosses and ferns, to a large goldfish or koi pond, where you can watch them darting around through the waterfall or enjoy feeding them by hand. For some folks their enjoyment might come from a well-stocked aquatic plant pond with a lovely stream meandering creatively through their gardens. When choosing a site for your pond, consider a location where you can view it not only from your deck or patio, but also from inside your home, thus creating a pond enjoyable for a much longer part of each season. Envision the wonder of submersible lights highlighting your waterfall at night while subdued lighting enhances the gardens around it. Choosing the correct pumps and filters are extremely important - often making the difference between being frustrated with your pond or really enjoying it. One of the best things you can do for yourself, while researching which pond or water feature can best meet your needs, is to talk to the pond and fish experts at your local Nursery or Garden Center, who will be more than happy to advise you to all facets of this wonderfully relaxing pastime. PART II: DETAILS Once you’ve decided on the best location for your pond, consider the size you want. If you are going to have aquatic plants or fish only for the summer, then a depth of 18” will be adequate. However if you would like to keep your fish outside with your lilies over the winter, then a pond must be at least a minimum of three feet deep, depending upon your frost line. Whether your property is to be fenced or not will have an affect upon your pond’s depth. If uncertain, consult your area’s local building codes. Generally speaking, in most areas you can have a pond depth of 18” without the requirement of a pool-type fence When it comes to keeping your pond water clean, use a good pump and filter, but also consider the use of lots of aquatic plants. Their roots do an excellent job of naturally cleaning the water. To keep your pond from going “green”, a condition caused by an algae bloom, plan to cover your pond surface 60-70% with floating plants such as water hyacinths, water lilies, duckweed or lily leaves. If you can screen the surface of the pond from the sun you should have no problems. To keep control of algae naturally, the need for chemical treatments may be avoided by placing bales of barley straw into your pond, weighting them to drop to the bottom. As the barley decomposes, it give off a natural herbicide that helps control the algae. Once your pond is set up don’t be surprised to find toads, frogs, birds and raccoons visiting your yard. Having your pond deep will also discourage those pesky raccoons from catching themselves a buffet dinner, whether in the form of your fish or your water plants. Maintenance-wise, fertilize your aquatic plants on a very regular basis and also trim off old dead foliage so it won’t decompose in your pond. If you’ve chosen the option of keeping fish, remember they can grow and multiply very quickly, so don’t overstock your pond. Once your pond is stocked with plants and fish, pull up your lawnchair, sit back, relax and enjoy. For more information on watergardening, contact Vandermeer Nursery at 905-427-2525.

Diplomat Pool and Spa has been providing pool and spa services for over 30 years, serving Pickering for over 18 of those years. Since 1971, Diplomat Pools has been specializing in constructing custom designed, award winning swimming pool backyard getaways that will soothe your body and relax your mind. Water Balance For Your Swimming Pool Adding chlorine pucks, some shock and a little algicide is not just the way to chemically treat swimming pool water. Water balance is the governing factor for proper water maintenance. When water is out of balance, pool/spa water chemicals will not work properly or efficiently. Balanced water is neither corrosive or scale forming. Balancing pool water will require proper levels of Chlorine/Bromine, pH, Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and up to 15 parameters that may be checked at our water analysis lab. Since fresh tap water and rain water have levels that are much lower than necessary, Diplomat Pools recommends once every two to three weeks or minimum once a month and during an algae or clarity problem. Why Balance your pool/spa water? Balanced water will: Look and feel better: Unbalanced water will appear cloudy or murky Unbalanced water will feel uncomfortable to the skin and the eyes Protect your investment: Unbalanced water can damage pool equipment and surfaces Save money: Chemicals work more efficiency in balanced water conditions Neglected pools or water that has not been checked in months can have levels that are much lower than ideal. Also, the lower the levels are, the more chemicals will be required to bring to a balanced or ideal level. Ideal Ranges pH (7.4 - 7.6) Total Alkalinity (Vinyl Liner 125 - 150 ppm) (Concrete 80 - 125 ppm) Calcium Hardness (Vinyl Liner 175 - 225 ppm) (Concrete 200 - 275 ppm) Stabilizer (minimum 40 ppm) Diplomat Pools and Spas has also expanded. Our new show room has hot tubs and spas. We carry the Sunrise Spa line. Spas and hot tubs provide hydrotherapy that relaxes your muscles and relieves any stress and tension in your body.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 4, 2001 PAGE 21 A/P A/P PAGE 22 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 4, 2001 McTeague bullish on Durham’s future in annual address BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague says our economy is still strong and he sees great opportunities for Durham Re- gion. “Canada’s economy is far stronger than anticipated,” he told local busi- ness leaders in the MP’s annual ad- dress to the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, Friday,April 27. “There may be a recession in the U.S. and it looks like Canada will be the only G7 country to escape this fate.” Higher training levels, a competi- tive dollar, and a budget synchronized with monetary policy has left the Canadian econo- my better braced to withstand a U.S. economic slowdown, de- spite the fact total trade to the U.S. has risen from 69 to 85 per cent re- cently, he said. Mr. McTeague also said the fed- eral government’s elimination of the deficit and its moves to begin paying down the debt are important steps in strengthening our economy. Locally, Mr. McTeague pointed to several transportation initiatives, in- cluding Hwy. 407 expansion, the pro- posed lands for a Pickering airport, and an idea to bring fast ferries to Durham as key issues for growth in the region. “An airport in Pickering should only be built in a time that makes fi- nancial sense,” he said, explaining he expects the airport to be on its way be- tween the years 2006 and 2018. Mr. McTeague said plans for the site to be used as regional relief for small aircraft and not as an interna- tional airport made the most sense. Discussing transportation routes in Durham, Mr. McTeague said the re- gion would be aided by expansion of Hwy. 407, however, new initiatives should be considered. “The federal government needs to take a leadership role in improv- ing our transportation network,” he said. Instead of more highways, he suggested considering fast ferries to carry transports to the U.S. as the answer for the future of trans- portation in Durham. “Fast ferries could be far more expedient,” he said, outlining Durham could take advantage of under-utilized ports in the region. Because of the U.S. energy crisis, and a surplus here in Durham, Mr. McTeague said he sees a great opportunity for the region. He also said he sees a strong argument for Durham Region hosting the ITER project, an ex- perimental fusion reactor re- search and development centre to be located in Clarington if Cana- da is chosen as the host country. “It will certainly attract re- search and development to the re- gion,” he said. “I see great poten- tial for the future.” DAN McTEAGUE Doulas in a prize-giving mood for their special month PICKERING —Choices Child- birth Education and Doula Services is celebrating International Doula Month with a stop tomorrow at the Pickering Town Centre.

Deep within a shadowy chamber in the British Mu- seum of London, an ancient force of terror is about to be reborn. It is 1933, the Year of the Scorpion. Eight years have passed since dashing legionnaire Rick O’Connell (Fraser) and fearless Egyp- tologist Evelyn (Weisz) fought for their lives against a 3,000-year-old enemy named Imhotep. Rick and Evelyn are married now and have set- tled in London where they are raising their son Alex. When a chain of events finds the corpse of Imhotep resurrected in the British Museum, the mummy Imhotep walks the earth once more, determined to fulfil his quest for immor- tality. But another force has also been set loose in the world... one born of the darkest rituals of ancient Egyptian mysticism, and even more powerful than Imhotep. When these two forces clash, the fate of the world will hang in the balance, sending the O’Connells on a desperate race to save the world from unspeakable evil and rescue their son be- fore it is too late. Their quest will take them back to Egypt, into the realm of The Scorpion King (The Rock). This fierce warrior promised his soul to the god Anubis in exchange for mil- itary might long ago. He and his army have been frozen in time, suspended between life and death and ready to kill again, through five millennia.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU When we first decided to put a play center in our store we did a lot of research. The three biggest concerns of mothers were a clean play center, no big kids allowed in the crawl areas for those under 48 inches and parents controlling their kids especially the yellers and the screamers. To show our commitment to a clean play center we produced a video showing how the play center was cleaned and played it in the store. We made a commitment to clean it every night. No sooner had we made this commitment then parents started to tell us how important a clean play center was to them and how much they appreciated our commitment. What followed was interesting. Some of our mothers came into our store and told us that one of our competitors at Port Union had closed their play center for three days to clean it. I have always said that competition benefits you the consumer and here is another example. I’m sure this play center was absolutely clean but maybe they wanted to remind their mothers that they too were committed to a clean environment. A further commitment has been our insistence that our parents not allow their kids in the play center without socks. This is only common sense. We even have socks for sale that I purchase at the Pickering Town Center to avoid this problem. Whatever I pay at the store I charge the customer. I don’t want to make a profit I just want a clean safe environment for the kids. We also wanted to have something for kids over 48 inches but under five feet so we went to a company call Primary Industries, a Canadian company, located in Whitby and they designed a video game unit that the kids could play and we installed six standup units in the play center at a cost of over 10,000 dollars. Soon, after our mothers told us that the store at Port Union had also installed video games. However, competition benefits the consumer in many other ways too. One is the price. We compete! Another is the quality of the toys we include free of charge with our kids meals. These are toys that are educational and that the kids can actually play with! And of course no one offers a free DQ dessert with every kids meal but we do! And you can redeem that free dessert any day, any month, any year! Am I saying we are the only place to come for kids meals? Of course not, variety is the spice of life but I am saying that when you choose us you are getting real value and I guarantee that. Most of all your kids will have a blast. Finally I know for sure that some parents enjoy coming to our store. Even if they come in the afternoon with the kids there is no mother that doesn’t want to reward herself with a DQ Blizzard, Banana Split or Pecan Mudslide as she watches her kids play. I get a big charge out of watching the kids trying to grab back their FREE TOY from parents who WON’T GIVE THEM UP. Even more hilarious is the parents who try to hide the FREE DESSERT coupon from their kids! Mothers you’ll love this coupon below.

After being drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth round (141st overall) of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) draft in 1998, the talented shortstop declined to join the Jays when a baseball scholar- ship to the Greenville, North Carolina campus beckoned. This time around, it’s a whole new ball game for the 20-year- old economics major who’s eli- gible for the draft once again. After three years of exceptional play — including being a two- time Colonial Athletic Associa- tion (CAA) second-team all-star and a freshman all-American — he’s ready for whatever the MLB draft brings. But, Delfino cau- tions returning to college is al- ways an option. “I feel like I’m physically and mentally ready to play pro base- ball,” said the six-foot-one-inch, 180-pound Pickering Baseball Association product in a recent telephone interview. “At the same time, I’m one-and-a-half years away from completing my degree, so if the draft doesn’t work out, I can go back and play college baseball. I’ve had a lot of fun playing ball here, so it wouldn’t be a disappointment if I had to go back to school. But, I’m really excited to play pro baseball.” And, by all accounts, his draft stock seems to be on the rise. Delfino’s projected to go in the first two rounds of the MLB am- ateur draft, conducted at league headquarters in New York via conference call June 5 to 7. He’s also expected to be the top Cana- dian player chosen. Delfino noted he’s unsure of which team will pick him in the draft, as there have been major league scouts at every East Car- olina Pirates game this season, but admitted three teams have shown the most interest in him so far. “The (Toronto) Blue Jays, (New York) Yankees and (Ana- heim) Angels have scouted me more than the other teams, but baseball’s draft is weird. One pick can screw up the entire draft,” he said. The 2001 diamond campaign for Delfino has been another strong one. After 46 games this season, he’s led East Carolina to a 36-10 record with nine games remaining in the season. The Pi- rates are also the 14th-ranked team in National Collegiate Ath- letic Association Division 1 baseball. Individually, he’s hit- ting at a .361 clip with 11 home runs (tied for the team lead) and 46 runs batted in. “Overall, I’m having a good year. I’m doing what I have to do to help the team win. I think this has been the best year out of all three years here,” he said. This past week, Delfino was named the CAA’s player of the week after batting .556 in four games, including a three-game sweep of Old Dominion Univer- sity of Virginia and a loss to the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. Following the conclusion of the conference season, Delfino plans to be playing with the Pi- rates in the 64-team NCAA Divi- sion 1 baseball playdowns, which use a similar format as NCAA basketball. The Pirates, he said, are expected to earn an at-large berth to one of the four- team regional round-robin play- downs. He’s convinced this could be year the Pirates emerge as a con- tender to play at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebras- ka. “This team, out of all the three teams (I’ve played on), this is the one that could do it. We’re 48-16 in the last two years, so I think this is the year that we could do it,” said Delfino. photo courtesy of John Aronson, East Carolina University Pickering’s Lee Delfino, 20, is poised to go high in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft in June after three outstanding seasons with the East Carolina University Pirates. The Toronto Blues Jays, which drafted him back in 1998, are again among the teams which may choose him. Here, Delfino makes a play while playing shortstop with the Pirates this season. Sport SHORTS MAY 4, 2001 Pickering Aerials sport golden girls PICKERING —Pickering Aerials Gymnastic Club pre-competitive ath- letes were golden at the recent Gyros Gymnastics Club meet. Melissa Pavlidis, competing in the 8A category, earned the all-round gold medal with first-place efforts on bal- ance beam and floor exercise. In the 7B category, Lindsay Qual- trough captured first overall with a first- place finish on beam. In the same divi- sion, Katrina Van Draanen finished fourth all-round following a second on vault. In the 8B bracket, Demi Chong earned the overall silver medal, with a first-place performance on beam. In the pre-competitive 9-10 ‘B’ divi- sion, Nicollette Evans finished second overall after a first-place effort on floor. In the 7C category, Shannon Rich- es, competing at the level for the first time, finished second overall. She placed first on vault, uneven bars and floor. Teammate Tanya Froebel fin- ished fifth overall with a second on bars. In the 8C division, Alexandra Clay- ton finished fifth all-around, with sec- ond-place finishes on vault and bars. Amanda Kent placed sixth overall with a bronze medal on vault. The Aerials’ pre-competitive gym- nasts are currently training hard in preparation for the club’s annual Rain- bow Classic meet at the Pickering Recreation Complex May 11 to 13. Caesar’s rules ladies’ basketball empire AJAX —Et Tu Caesar’s captured the championship of the Ajax Ladies’ Basketball League in fine style, upset- ting regular-season winner Select Food Products in the final played at Ajax High School Wednesday night. Caesar’s captured a 27-17 victory over Select in the championship game. Meanwhile, the Bank of Mon- treal posted a 45-36 victory over East Side Mario’s in the consolation con- test. Similar to the regular-season bat- tles between Select and Caesar’s, the contest was a defensive battle. The first half belonged to Caesar’s as it used its height advantage to rebound at both ends of the court. Select, how- ever, tried the long shot to stay in touch. Both teams effectively shut down each other’s offence in the sec- ond half with only 13 points scored.As Select Foods tried to battle for pos- session late in the second half, Et Tu Caesar’s used the clock up wisely to post the championship victory. Lana Letourneau deposited a game-high 10 points for Et Tu Cae- sar’s. Carol Stephenson replied with six for Select. In the consolation final, Ria Bah- dursingh led the way for the bankers with 13 points. Joanna Reardon net- ted 14 for East Side Mario’s. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering.

PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers major atom select hockey team went undefeated through five games over the Easter weekend to win the Scarborough Shamrock Select Tournament. In an action-packed, close game, Pickering edged Whitby 1-0 to win the tournament title. Chris Paul scored the winner on a spirited rush early in the third period. Assists went to Michael Scott and Ryad Alli. Picker- ing played solid defensively through- out the game, but especially in the final period, to preserve the win. Goaltenders Jeff Love and Daniel Thorpe combined to shut down a solid Whitby team that had been undefeated at the tournament. Thorpe was named the game’s most valuable player. In the semifinal game, Pickering and Meadowvale played a tight- checking first period, but Pickering eventually broke open the game and skated to a convincing 6-1 win. Scor- ing for Pickering were Adam Wilkin- son, Andrew Brien, Brian Smith, Mark Jovanov, Chris Paul, and Mark Hoyne. Michael Degroot and Brad Spiers had two assists apiece, while Jovanov and Alli provided singles. Pickering doubled Faustina 4-2 in its first game. Smith opened the scor- ing, assisted by Jordan Bonnie. Chris Paul and Degroot followed with unas- sisted goals and Brendan Doyle closed out the scoring, assisted by Jeff Paul. In the second game, Pickering crushed Cedar Hill 7-0. Jovanov tal- lied four times, with singles to Alli, Doyle and Hoyne. Brian Smith checked in with three assists, Chris Paul added two, and Scott, Degroot and Hoyne added one apiece. Again, Love and Thorpe combined for the shutout. Pickering skated to a 5-2 win over the Scarborough Sabres in Game 3. Jovanov scored twice, and Chris Paul, Doyle and Degroot added the others. Doyle, Jovanov, Smith, Spiers, Drew West and Bryan Kirow chipped in with assists. The tournament capped a success- ful campaign for the major atom se- lects, who finished in the top tier of their league division. After defeating Clarington in the opening round of the playoffs, Pickering pushed first-place Whitby to the final game of their semifinal series before bowing out in a well played, tight match. The team is coached by Steve Spiers, Greg Scott and Doug Paul. Larry Brien is the trainer.
