Interest-ing rates: How low can they go?
Mortgages
attractive for new
buyers, those
looking to renew
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
DURHAM —With the
Bank of Canada dropping its
trend-setting lending rate three
quarters of a point last week and
the country’s banks following
suit, mortgage rates should be
even more attractive.
The central bank’s overnight
rate now sits at 2.75 per cent, its
lowest point since 1961. Robert
Boyd, mortgage consultant with
The Mortgage Centre in Ajax,
said he expects homeowners to
be looking at a 40-year low in
mortgage rates fairly soon.
“I believe the interest rate
drops are not reflected in the
banks posted rates just yet,” he
said in an interview Thursday.
“We’ll probably see the rates
drop over the next three to five
days, but now, we’re looking at
a 40-year low, in principle.”
However, Mr. Boyd, who, as
a mortgage broker, helps find
people the best rates and terms
available among all the major
banks, warns against new home-
owners jumping in the market to
take advantage of low rates if
they have to max out their fi-
nances to do so.
He said those homeowners
could be in a “difficult” position
should rates rise in the next five
years and they’re faced with a
monthly mortgage payment
they can’t afford.
On the other hand, homebuy-
ers locking into longer terms
may have the chance to accrue
more equity in their homes and
be in a better position to renego-
tiate a more manageable month-
ly payment if rates do rise over
that time, he said.
Based on his more than 10
years experience in Durham, he
Lower interest rates pose both opportunities and challenges
in the current economy, say local financial experts. For home
buyers, mortgage rates are particularly attractive right now.

Hadley not taken seriously
Family members fed Ralph’s rage at estranged wife, inquest hears
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM — Ralph Hadley
told family members on several
occasions his wife, Gillian, de-
served a “bullet in the head” and
that he knew how to get hold of
a gun — yet no one took his
threats seriously, court heard
yesterday.
“One time he said: ‘You
know if I wanted to I could
probably get a gun’,” Mr.
Hadley’s cousin Gordon Baines
testified at the coroner’s inquest
looking into the Pickering cou-
ple’s June 20, 2000 murder-sui-
cide.
“I never ever thought he was
capable of doing what he (did)...
To be totally honest I did not
take these as threats... I did not
take them seriously.”
At the time of the murder Mr.
Hadley faced charges of domes-
tic assault, criminal harassment
and breach of recognizance and
was on bail with strict condi-
tions not to communicate with
his estranged wife nor possess
firearms.
Mr. Hadley, 34, told his
cousin he could get the gun
through the “post office”, Mr.
Baines said.
“That’s where (Mr. Hadley)
worked; he said he knew lots of
people.”
The inquest, which is exam-
ining the couple’s death and is-
sues surrounding domestic vio-
lence, has heard Mr. Hadley was
armed with a handgun when he
broke into the former matrimo-
nial home, where Mrs. Hadley
still resided on Hillcrest Road,
and surprised the 35-year-old
mother of three early June 20.
Mrs. Hadley fled to the street
naked and screaming. Despite
the attempts of neighbours to
rescue her, Mr. Hadley dragged
his wife back into the bungalow,
closed the door and shot her in
Hwy. 407
leads to
complaints
Pickering fields
calls on speeding,
traffic volume
PICKERING —The new
eastern extension of Hwy. 407
has had “a fairly big impact” on
the flow of traffic in Pickering,
says a City official.
“Certainly Brock Road has
seen a substantial increase in
volume,” said Stephen Brake,
Pickering’s traffic and waste
management co-ordinator,
adding that is just one of three
areas of concern to City staff
since the toll highway opened
the15-kilometre extension from
Markham Road to Brock Road
in Pickering.
Mr. Brake said residents in
Greenwood have also reported
to traffic management staff an
increase in volume and the num-
ber of cars speeding in the area.
In addition, he said residents
have reported a decrease in traf-
fic on Concession Road 3 West
of Altona Road, which some are
suggesting is leading to an in-
crease in speeders in that area.
With Brock Road a Durham
Region responsibility, Mr. Brake
said he expects to see the im-
provements over the next year.
He also said there is a plan in
place to appease the other resi-
dents’concerns.
City staff is preparing a set of
criteria and a policy to be fol-
lowed when implementing traf-
fic-calming measures in the City
as a part of their ongoing safer
streets traffic management initia-
tive, which began last spring.
Mr. Brake said once the poli-
cies and criteria are set residents
can apply to have a traffic situa-
tion reviewed and the City
would then discuss implement-
ing measures such as speed
humps, islands, and traffic-calm-
ing circles.
Smoking
ban in
Durham?
Businesses fear
for their health
BY JACQUIE MCINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham
smokers could have to forgo
that after-dinner cigarette if
regional councillors decide to
proceed with a Toronto-style
anti-smoking bylaw.
Durham’s eight municipali-
ties may be asked whether the
Region should proceed with a
region-wide bylaw regulating
smoking in public places and
workplaces — including
restaurants — similar to oth-
ers in the Greater Toronto
Area.
As Durham’s health and
social services committee pre-
pares to debate the issue to-
morrow, (Thursday), restau-
rant owners and managers
across the region are express-
ing concern a smoking bylaw
could be bad for the health of
their businesses.
“We do have concerns
based on what’s happened in
the Toronto-area restaurants,”
said Vickie Camar, manager
of East Side Mario’s in Ajax.
“Their experience has been a
very big decrease in business.”
Sherry Bassin, owner of
three Don Cherry restaurants
in Durham, said he would be
concerned too, although as a
non-smoker he can understand
the health concerns.
“From a health standpoint I
agree, but from a business and
personal-choice aspect I do
not totally agree with it,” he
said. Don Cherry restaurants

bylaws have been brought in

said many new homebuyers look for
rates to bottom out before reacting. But,
faced with the lowest rates in decades,
the bottom may be here today.
“I definitely think we’ve seen a larg-
er influx of business coming through our
doors,” he said. “It’s a combination of
new sales and a lot of refinancing for
sure.”
Overall, Mr. Boyd said, the drop in
rates will definitely stimulate the local
housing market and Blake Butler, sales
and market manger at the Royal Bank
Durham Business Banking Centre in
Oshawa, agrees.
However, while Mr. Butler said the
Bank of Canada’s latest move did have
an immediate impact on short-term
lending rates at the Royal Bank, it will
not necessarily affect long-term mort-
gage rates, which are based more on the
bond rate.
Either way, Mr. Butler said mortgage
rates are still at a 40-year low.
While he agrees with most economic
forecasts that say any economic down-
turn will not be long and deep, he also
predicted we probably won’t experience
runaway growth anytime soon.
That means less risk for homeown-
ers, homebuyers, and mortgage rates,
Mr. Butler said.
“Interest rates should remain stable
and low,” he said. “I don’t envision huge
growth or an increase in interest rates so
(for homeowners taking advantage of
lower short-term rates) there’s not a
huge risk.”
However, Mr. Butler does suggest
considering a long-term mortgage now
to take advantage of the rates.
“People need to manage their mort-
gage by choosing the appropriate term,”
he said. “People need to look at the situ-
ation. Perhaps locking into a longer term
at the current rates is the best thing for
them... a variable mortgage can expose
you to an upswing in interest rates, and
you can eliminate that risk by taking a
longer term. That way you don’t lie
awake at night thinking about interest
rates and you are protected.”
Brett Puckrin, president of the
Durham Region Real Estate Board, said
with interest rates dropping to a 40-year
low he expects to see renewed interest in
the real estate market.
“There’s no reason as long as things
remain as they are that things won’t pick
up in November and December,” he
said. “It’s an opportune time to buy.”
Mr. Puckrin is also confident the real
estate market will be in good shape
through the new year.
“It’s not going to go crazy,” he said.
“But, the market will be stable, driven
by first-time homebuyers and move-up
buyers.”
“It’s a great value for the average
reader, a chance to get involved, add
some excitement and take advantage
of some great savings,” he said.
Among the items are a Hyundai
Accent, Suzuki Vitara, computer
equipment, jewelry and a golf mem-
bership. Opening bids on most items
start at 60 to 65 per cent of the retail
value.

SAVE MONEY AT THE PUMP: TRY THESE TIPS
If you own a car, chances are you experienced
more than a bit of sticker shock at the gas pumps
over the last year. Fuel prices rose by as much as 10
cents per litre from one day to the next, and still
haven’t returned to their low points of 18 months ago.
While they may have become a tad more stable,
rumors of cutbacks in foreign oil production mean
prices may jump again this year.
While it’s hard not to feel like a slave to petroleum
prices, there are ways that we can all fight back. With
a little behavior modification, and perhaps a
modification on your car’s engine, you can take some
of the sting out of your next trip to the gas station.
First, examine your weekly driving routine. Are you
taking the shortest distance between two points, or
does your driving involve some meandering? Planned
travel, focusing on the shortest routes, will keep you
from needlessly burning fuel. Whenever possible,
stick to the open roads and avoid congested areas
with a lot of stop-and-go traffic. And if you’re not in a
carpool, consider being a trailblazer among your
friends by starting one.
On the subject of driving habits, think what ones
you may have that aren’t fuel-efficient. Many of us fall
into the category of “idlers”; we allow our cars to
“warm up” in the morning (not necessary with new
vehicles) or sit with the motor running in drive-through
lanes or while a passenger makes a quick trip into a
store. Remember, too, the lessons from driver’s
education in high school: “Jackrabbit” starts or
speeding may not only get you in trouble with the law,
but also needlessly burn gas.
Now, take a good look at your wheels. According to
the Car Care Council, tires that are under inflated by
eight pounds increase the car’s rolling resistance by
as much as 5%, which will waste at least a couple of
dollars in fuel each month. It takes just a moment to
check your tire pressure, and it should be done
weekly. Wheels that are out of alignment also
produce a drag on the engine that burns up extra
gas, so make sure your tires are aligned and
balanced by a professional.
New date to be announced soon,
after initial exam posted on Internet
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The arm’s-length organiza-
tion that administers the Education Ministry’s
standardized tests will soon announce a new
date for the Grade 10 literacy test.
Originally scheduled for Oct. 16 and 17, the
Ontario secondary school literacy test was can-
celled after a breach of security saw portions of
the test posted on the Internet.
“I think it’s too soon to give an estimated
time (for the test), but at some point this week,
probably later in the week, there will be a date,”
Angie Rosati, communications manager for the
Education Quality and Accountability Office
(EQAO), said in an interview Monday.
She said having students write the test before
the end of this calendar year is one option being
looked at.
The EQAO had prepared a spring test for a
second writing session “that for the most part
we’ll refine and use” as the first test, she said.
That test was intended to give students who
failed the October exam another opportunity to
pass. As it stands, Ms. Rosati said, students who
fail the first writing can still write the test a sec-
ond time during the current school year.
Beginning this year, passing the literacy test
is a diploma requirement for high school stu-
dents.
Last year, roughly 4,600 local students wrote
the test in a provincewide trial run. When the
results were tallied, 61 per cent of Grade 10s
had successfully completed the test. The
Durham District School Board had a 67-per
cent pass rate, while 71 per cent of Durham
Catholic District School Board students suc-
cessfully navigated the five-hour test.
Both scores were among the best in the
province.
Ms. Rosati said it’s difficult to calculate how
much money has been lost after the original test
was cancelled.
From start to finish, the Grade 10 test costs
about $12 million, she said. When the test was
cancelled, roughly $5 million to $7 million in
costs had already been incurred, said Ms.
Rosati, noting not all of that money has been
wasted.
Two weeks ago, EQAO spokesman Nadia
Temple said a group claiming to be members of
the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty entered
the EQAO’s Toronto office on Oct. 11. The
group had a copy of the English-language ver-
sion of the Grade 10 test, which they tore up be-
fore leaving. Portions of the test were posted on
the Internet shortly thereafter.
Toronto police subsequently charged an 18-
year-old Toronto woman with mischief and pos-
session of property obtained through a crime.

Judicial
mix-up sees
man go free
AJAX ––An Ajax man thought he
caught a huge break last week when a
judge told him he was free to go. He
later discovered it was an unfortunate
error.
Last Thursday, the 22-year old man
appeared in Oshawa court for assault
charges. The judge told him the
charges were withdrawn and he was
free to go. What the judge didn’t real-
ize was that the accused was up for
separate assault charges and being
held for bail. A Durham Regional Po-
lice spokesman said the man hesitated
a little when he was told to go, but
added when a judge says go home, you
go.
The mix-up occurred as a result of
information being separated because
the man had pleaded not guilty to
some of his charges and trials were
still ongoing. A court security officer
realized the error and by 5 p.m. police
had the man back in custody.
Because the man didn’t technically
escape, he was not charged with being
unlawfully at large.

Boos in the ’hood
PICKERING –– Jim Jameson (left) and Ray Kiomall joined forces on
Wollaston Court to design and set up pneumatically operated Hal-
loween displays as a treat for neighbourhood families. The front yard
props are operated by sensors and move as people step over them. The
pair, like many other residents in communities across Durham, have
embraced the Halloween celebration to help increase the fun –– and
fear –– factor for their neighbours.
‘Wonderful relationship’
quickly deteriorated
the head. He then turned the gun on
himself.
In a seven-page suicide note he
claimed Mrs. Hadley was a bad mother
and that he had no choice but to kill his
wife to protect their infant son, Chase.
Court was told the couple started dat-
ing in late 1996 and prior to marrying in
October 1997 purchased the Hillcrest
Road home with Mr. Baines, who
owned an equal share of the residence
and lived in the basement.
Mr. Baines said Mr. Hadley, whom
he described as “like a brother”, was
loud and opinionated and held outdated
views on relationships and women.
“He felt a woman had her place... to
be a little subservient to the man,” he
said, adding he disagreed with his
cousin’s perspectives.
Mr. Baines said the couple seemed to
have a “wonderful relationship” at first
but early in the marriage financial prob-
lems arose.
Mr. Baines said Mr. Hadley was
“devastated” when charged in early
1999 with physically abusing Mrs.
Hadley’s severely disabled son from an
earlier marriage. Mrs. Hadley was
steadfast in support of him at first, he
said. But the marriage fell apart after
Mr. Hadley accepted a peace bond in
December 1999 in exchange for the
charge being withdrawn, court was told.
Mr. Hadley became suspicious his
wife was having an affair and “hired a
private investigator” to follow Mrs.
Hadley. The task was assigned to broth-
er-in-law Brian Parish, the husband of
Mrs. Hadley’s sister Lisa, court heard.
On Jan. 7, 2000 Mr. Hadley caught
Mrs. Hadley in bed with her new
boyfriend after being followed by her
sister and her husband, Mr. Baines said.
Mr. Hadley was charged with assault
after he slapped her in the face and
slammed her head against the wall out-
side the residence.
Under terms of his release, he was
required to move out of the Hillcrest res-
idence, have no contact with Mrs.
Hadley and live with his parents.
Mr. Baines said he and other rela-
tives were angry with Mrs. Hadley for
pressing charges. “She could have han-
dled the whole situation differently... I
thought she was being vindictive... The
charge should have never been laid,” he
said, adding Mrs. Hadley seemed deter-
mined to “drive this man nuts”.
At his cousin’s request, Mr. Baines
said he started spying on Mrs. Hadley.
He kept a journal documenting Mrs.
Hadley’s activities around the house,
when her boyfriend stayed over, record-
ing visitors’ licence plates, logging
times she left and returned and eaves-
dropping on phone conversations.
“I was asked to keep track of any and
all goings on in that home,” Mr. Baines
testified. He would then report back to
Mr. Hadley. Mr. Baines testified he
spied on Mrs. Hadley even though he
soon realized the information was only
feeding Mr. Hadley’s rage at his wife.
“It seemed to enrage him... He would
get very upset,” he testified.
At times Mr. Hadley would make
comments about Mrs. Hadley such as
“she’ll get hers” and “she deserves a
bullet to the head,” Mr. Baines testified.
“I heard him say it on several occa-
sions” in the presence of Gerald Hadley
— Ralph’s father — at Mr. Hadley’s
parents’ house in Scarborough or in the
car while on the way to one of his court
appearances, Mr. Baines testified.
Gerald Hadley shared his son’s senti-
ments with comments like Mrs. Hadley
“deserved to be shot”, Mr. Baines told
the five-member inquest jury.
“I told them, that’s not the answer...
My feelings are no one deserves to die,
or the death penalty.”
After Mr. Hadley was charged with
criminal harassment in February 2000,
and released on bail, he told Mr. Baines
he felt his rights were being violated:
“His rights to access (11-month-old
Chase, who lived with Mrs. Hadley)...
his wife... his home... his life,” Mr.
Baines said. In the weeks leading up to
the murder-suicide Mr. Baines said Mr.
Hadley appeared less upset about his
marriage situation and more at ease.
“He was no longer angry... He be-
came quiet, withdrawn. He seemed very
calm,” he said.
“In hindsight, I think he made up his
mind at that point what action he was
going to take... Unfortunately I thought
he was coming to terms with the situa-
tion.”
Mr. Baines testified that shortly be-
fore Mrs. Hadley was killed he over-
heard a conversation in which she indi-
cated she feared for her life.
“I believed she was afraid in her own
mind but I was never afraid for her. I be-
lieved I knew my cousin and it was
baseless,” he testified.
Mr. Baines also testified his 20-year-
old sister was murdered by her ex-
boyfriend — a post-office colleague of
Mr. Hadley, who had set the couple up.

have also been hit with a decline in business, he
said. Mr. Bassin said he would like to see other
measures considered, such as partitions or ven-
tilation for restaurants that do not want to go
fully non-smoking.
But Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner, a
member of the health and social services com-
mittee, said Durham needs to get with the times.
“I am 100-per cent committed to ramming
this through at the Region,” said the councillor,
who added his local council would support a
smoking ban but doesn’t want to be the only
one.
“It’s needed. There have been a lot of calls, a
lot of e-mails from the public. What good is
having a smoking and a non-smoking section if
there is this invisible wall and you’re the unfor-
tunate one near that artificial wall inhaling sec-
ond-hand smoke?”
While some municipalities may get a
favourable response, Oshawa isn’t ready for it,
suggested restaurateur Mary Albis, owner of
Sopraffino in the downtown core. She suggest-
ed such legislation will not only hurt restau-
rants, but the entire downtown, which depends
on restaurant patrons for spinoff business.
For restaurants that rely on bar sales, the ban
could be an even bigger problem, suggested
Elaine Nieminen of Emiel’s Place in Port Perry.
“People who like to drink like to have a cig-
arette,” she said, noting the largest part of the
dining room is already non-smoking.
A total ban may not be a realistic goal, con-
ceded Durham health and social services com-
mittee chairman, Brock Councillor Larry O’-
Connor.
“I think it’s time to take a look at creating a
lot more smoke-free places,” said Coun. O’-
Connor, who has advocated the Province set
regulations through the tobacco control act. The
councillor noted it will take “extraordinary ef-
fort” to get any regional bylaw passed because
it requires the will of the majority of local coun-
cils in addition to the majority of regional coun-
cillors before it can go forward.

Can this really be Premier Mike
Harris: all emotional, sentimental,
romantic and even a touch poetic?
The Progressive Conservative
premier has an image of being
plain-spoken, gruff and tough at
times, always watching the balance
sheet and cutting taxes like no one
before him.
But he got out of character ex-
plaining he flew home to North
Bay, a journey he had made hun-
dreds of times, at Thanksgiving,
saw “one of the most breathtaking
experiences, the miles of autumn
colours on a crisp fall day, the
leaves and the land” and this
prompted him to reflect on life and
resign.
A couple of days later the pre-
mier held a news conference on
scenic Jack Pine Hill overlooking
his city and its lake instead of as
usual at his constituency office,
gazed down wistfully and said how
great it was to be back home with
family and friends.
At a fund-raising rally tears
welled in his eyes as he talked of
his wife, Janet, with whom he had
just reconciled two years after he
left her, and described her as “com-
passionate, caring, very under-
standing and forgiving”, which no
one can quarrel with.
Mr. Harris’s description of what
led him to resign was unexpected,
because he normally has not used
such imaginative language.
The premier has been more
noted for slang like “by golly”‚ and
getting “a bum rap”‚ and “doing
my doggonest”, or inventions such
as Prime Minister Jean Chretien is
full of “bafflegabby”, which most
of us have never heard before, al-
though we know what he means.
The only time Mr. Harris men-
tioned a poem was when he was
elected premier in 1995 and quoted
from Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not
Taken.’ “I took the one less trav-
elled by, and that has made all the
difference,” he recited, which was
fitting because he offered policies
very different from all mainstream
parties.
Nor has the premier expressed
much love of nature and his record
on protecting forests is mixed —
he set aside large tracts as parks,
but is allowing too much logging
on them.
There also is reason to believe
he made up his mind to quit before
he gazed out on the forests anyway,
because his companion during his
marriage breakdown, Sharon
Dunn, said he told her months ear-
lier he was planning to leave poli-
tics and live in North Bay and they
then decided to part ways.
But his claim he saw the forests
and was motivated by them is more
elevating and dramatic. Who re-
members the explanation of
William Davis, the last premier to
quit under his own steam, that he
felt he probably would not run
again after winning an election
three years earlier, but waited,
spent 10 days weighing the pros
and cons, then told his family,
which sounds like a sensible
process but dull.
News media and historians will
much prefer Mr. Harris’s seeing the
forests, like Pierre Trudeau’s claim
he went for “a walk in the snow”,
and quit as prime minister, which is
often recalled decades later.
The two leaders would not have
got as much respect if they had said
they laid awake worrying whether
they could win another election,
which was probably closer to the
truth in both cases.
The premier and his admirable
wife would not have reunited un-
less they genuinely felt deep affec-
tion for each other, so there can be
no suggestion they did it to help his
political image.
But the Tories milked the recon-
ciliation by quickly leaking it to
friendly media, so while Mr. Harris
never said he was quitting for his
wife and family, the sequence of
events sounded like he was and
newspapers ran headlines like
‘Harris picks family over revolu-

Why would Mr. Harris want to
appear warmer and more caring
when he will never run in another
election and look personally for
votes?
Among smaller benefits it will
help his party. While the Tories will
have another leader in the next

their best to recall Mr. Harris and
parts of his record they feel will
hurt the party.
Mr. Harris has a long time to
live after he leaves politics and his
family and neighbours, and busi-
ness that inevitably will offer him
lucrative posts for all he has done
for it, will like him more if he exits
on a high note.

Proud members of
Since restaurants in Toronto, Peel and York regions took
the non-smoking plunge June 1, the pressure has been on to
follow suit in Durham.
It’s time to butt out.
As Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said,
“It’s needed. There have been a lot of calls, a lot of e-mails
from the public. What good is having a smoking and non-
smoking section if there is that invisible wall and you’re the
unfortunate one near that artificial wall inhaling second-hand
smoke?”
Coun. Brenner, a member of the Region’s health and social
services committee, said he is “100-per cent committed to
ramming through” a region-wide bylaw banning smoking in
Durham’s restaurants and bars.
Not surprisingly restaurant owners aren’t thrilled with the
proposal. Some have suggested their businesses will be ad-
versely affected by a smoking ban. Others say reduced diners
will lead to a fall-off in commerce in nearby businesses.
As has happened with virtually every other smoking bylaw
over the past few decades, everyone will eventually adapt to a
smoking ban in restaurants and bars. For many smokers, it
could be the last straw on the road to quitting. Fed up with the
constant and ever-increasing restrictions on their right to
smoke in public places, some smokers have reached the point
where they feel the habit isn’t worth the hassle anymore.
Aside from protecting non-smokers from the effects of
second-hand smoke, the desire to reduce smoking everywhere
should be the intent of the bylaw.
It hardly needs to be said, but each year smoking kills
thousands of Canadians. Many of these unfortunates will suf-
fer long, painful, expensive deaths hooked up to oxygen
tanks. Any move designed to reduce smoking, from the ads
that warn youth of the hazards of cigarettes to smoking re-
strictions in public places, deserves our support.
We have to have a consistent policy that makes it clear that
smoking, while legal for those 19 and older, is not something
our society encourages its citizens to take up. The medical
costs, which must be borne by us all under our medicare sys-
tem, are horrendous and can’t be made up simply through to-
bacco taxes. The elimination of tobacco sponsorship for
sports and cultural events, the increasingly vivid pictures of
the health horrors on cigarette packages and the increased
fines for those who sell to minors are all part of an overall plan
to reduce smoking.
A smoking ban in Durham’s restaurants and bars, in con-
cert with the rest of the Greater Toronto Area, is another step
on the road to reducing smoking. It’s a step we should take.
You’ll run into some of your smaller neighbours this
evening, right around the time the sun sets on another day.
They’ll come in various guises. They’ll knock on your
door, chant ‘trick or treat’and wait patiently while you drop a
few confections into their pumpkin pails, grocery bags or con-
verted pillowcases.
They’ll be firefighters and fairies, ghosts and goblins, good
guys and bad guys.
Given the events of the past six weeks, it’s important
young people in our communities are reassured through the
annual ritual we call Halloween. It’s a wonderful opportunity
for children to dress up as other characters, escape to a make-
believe world for a few hours and celebrate these simple plea-
sures without the awful reality of our world intruding, even if
only for a few hours.
For those at home to attend to little visitors, greet them at
your door with a friendly smile. Encourage them to have fun
while out with their friends. Take the time to marvel at their
creativity, fuss over their wonderful costumes and share with
them your enthusiasm. Throw an extra treat into their bags.
For those of us who will be out on the roads tonight, drive
a little more slowly in residential areas. Have patience with
the inevitable gaggle of kids crossing the street all at once, or
one at a time. Pay more attention to the activity around your
vehicle, particularly since those youngsters will be distracted
with all of the loot they’re collecting.
Finally, let’s enjoy the evening ourselves. Let’s forget al-
Quida, George W., and the coalition and focus on reacquaint-
ing ourselves with our communities. Say hello to that neigh-
bour up the street. Participate in the action right outside your
front door. Feel free to indulge your own sweet tooth.
Tonight is Halloween. It’s one day in a calendar full of
them, but it’s a perfect opportunity to forget the real horrors of
this world we live in. Do it and feel good about it. Just for one
night.

Give someone

To the editor:
Re: ‘Please sign your organ donor
cards,’letter to the editor, Oct. 3.
A few weeks ago a broken-
hearted girl wrote about her father
who passed away from liver dis-
ease. His name had been on a
transplant list, but he lost the battle
before help could come his way.
I, too, recently lost my mother.
She had been a kidney dialysis pa-
tient for the last three years of her
life. Although a transplant would
not have helped in her particular
case, there are countless others
whose health could be saved or
greatly improved through a ‘gift of
life’donation.
I think we innocently and fool-
ishly take our health for granted.
Unless we are personally affected,
there is no opportunity to recog-
nize the compromised lifestyle, or
physical and emotional struggle
that is faced daily by these people.
Hope is the one thing they live
for. The courage and strength they
find to do this should be an inspi-
ration to us all.

Library board’s
decision a shame
To the editor:
The City of Pickering has been
placed on the map of Canada by its
library board. All Canadian citizens
now know what a bunch of dunder-
heads run our library. Can you
imagine the reaction from most
Canadians upon learning a group of
supposedly intelligent library per-
sonnel would ban the poppy from
being distributed at a public place?
Shame.
Poppies are not sold, they are
distributed to the public as a sym-
bol of remembrance. Remember-
ing those who saved their country
in times of war to preserve our
peaceful, democratic way of life.
The cash box that is with the
poppies is for donations, freely
given. The money collected is to
provide the assistance to needy vet-
erans and their widows that our
government does not. Remem-
brance Day to veterans is every day
of the year. We ask the public to
join us in remembrance one day,
Nov. 11, and to that end we distrib-
ute poppies as a symbol of peace.
Lest we forget.

Let’s remember
meaning of
poppy
To the editor:
I remember when schools were
closed Nov. 11. I remember when
schools gave out poppies to stu-
dents. I remember when we had a
minute of silence for those who
gave their lives defending the civ-
ilized world: a minute of silence
on television and radio stations.
I think the poppy is more than
the ‘charity’that the Pickering Li-
brary Board claims it to be. On the
same day thousands of Canadians
were entering a war zone, this
board had the gall to declare
poppy sales were just another
charity.

BY JANE MCDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– ‘Happy
Halloween, Boils and
Ghouls,’ says the sign on a
particularly creative neigh-
bourhood tribute to today’s
autumn ritual.
For eight years, Lance
Richardson has let his
macabre imagination run
wild at Halloween. The 20-
year-old Seagrave man has
actually built a set in the
family’s garage, complete
with corridors and rooms
blackened with tarpaper. Pul-
sating strobe lights, the
‘Boils and Ghouls’ sign and
the scariest props this side of
a Stephen King horror flick
combine to scare the living
daylights out of those who
dare enter.
“I wasn’t sure how it
would turn out up here,” he
says of his move a year ago
from Ajax to the northern
part of the Region. “It went
well last year so I decided to
continue.”
Mr. Richardson’s Hal-
loween homage involves
nine people - made up of
family and friends - all
dressed in a variety of grue-
some garb, and who move at
appropriate moments as visi-
tors wind their way through
a maze of hanging bats,
snakes and skeletons. One of
the volunteers takes his place
in a coffin, rising up at exact-
ly the right moment as un-
suspecting visitors walk past
the sarcophagus. Then, a hu-
mungous spider is sent slid-
ing down a guide wire to-
wards trick-or-treaters just as
they think they’ve come to
the end of the frightful expe-
rience.
“The kids are not expect-
ing something like this. I re-
member this one guy in Ajax
who used to decorate his
place when I was a kid and I
really liked going there,”
says Mr. Richardson. “Then
when I was not able to go out
(trick-or-treating) anymore
as an adult, I wanted to give
the kids some of the fun I
had.”
“We have fun,” confirms
Mr. Richardson’s mother,
Elaine Daughen. “The whole
neighbourhood comes
through.”
“Halloween is my hus-
band’s favourite time of
year,” says Janet Noel. “He’d
like to build a haunted house
and make it into a tourist at-
traction.”
But for now, Ken Noel,
who works at a large build-
ing supply centre, takes the
morbid side of his creative
skills out on his own house
and garage.
This year the family home
in east Oshawa has been
transformed into a veritable
funeral parlour, complete
with organ-playing skeleton,
a painting dripping with
blood, and fog machine to
create the requisite creepy
atmosphere.
“Even the (neighbour-
hood) adults start asking if
there will be anything new
this year,” laughs Mrs. Noel.
“And every year he tries to
think up something new. The
kids come back three or four
times and although there is
nothing really scary to
frighten the little kids, for
some of them, we have to
walk their treats down the
driveway to them.”
Mr. Richardson finds the
same response in Seagrave.
The special feature he’s cre-
ated this year is the ‘Snake
Pit’ but he and his family are
careful not to scare the
youngest children too much.
“Some parents come with
the children, and we say they
have to come through (the
display) to get their candy,
but if it looks like the little
ones are too scared, we have
passwords (to ease up on the
scariest effects),” says Larry
Richardson, Lance’s father.
Perhaps no one in
Durham Region is busier in
the days leading up to Oct.
31 than Laurence Peet. He
and his partner operate two
Costume King stores - one in
Oshawa (for the past two
years) and another in Peter-
borough - that cater to a
growing number of Hal-
loween enthusiasts.
Though ‘Planet of the
Apes’ masks are popular this
year because of the recent
film of the same name, it is
the highly crafted Marie An-
toinette gown that most fe-
male customers like to
choose.
“One of our customers
won a $250 first prize at a
(costume) ball last year for
her Marie Antoinette,” says a
proud Mr. Peet. “Austin
Powers was very popular last
year but nothing has taken
over quite as much yet this
year except ‘Planet of the
Apes’ and our monkey and
ape costumes.”
Realistic masks and faux
fur body suits promise to
keep family and friends
guessing the identity of those
who chose to make a monkey
out of themselves. “They
make masks today a lot dif-
ferent than they used to,”
adds Mr. Peet. “The ape
mask moves. You can talk
just like the actors do in the
movies. It fits your face and
you can move and talk with
it. It’s very real.”
Some of the store’s cos-
tumes are for sale but most
of them are rented out at an
average cost of from $10 to
$65. Accessories abound in
the store with a full range of
masks, wigs, teeth, contain-
ers of ‘blood’ and makeup to
complement any disguise. A
pair of angel’s wings, made
of real feathers, can be had
for $29.95 should a lifetime
of good deeds be too high a
price.
“Women like to dress up
more than men do,” Mr. Peet
has observed. “And women
like to dress up a little sexy.
The guys just go along with
whatever their wife wants
them to wear.”
He has seen couples pair
up as Mickey and Minnie
Mouse, Marie Antoinette and
Louis XVI or Anthony and
Cleopatra. Standby costumes
to transform the wearer into
a witch, Dracula, ghost or pi-
rate are popular every year.
But it is the slinky Cat
Woman ensemble with tight-
fitting body suit, whip and
mask that offers a bit of sex-
iness to the woman who
dares.
“The Cat Woman costume
is very flattering and you can
see it in their (female cus-
tomers’) eyes,” offers Mr.
Peet. “They feel pretty good
about themselves ... A lot of
people, when they get
dressed up, lose their inhibi-
tions and their personalities
come to light. Cat Woman
really helps women come to
light. They really think they
look good.”
HAUNTED DURHAM
Frightful displays a delight
for Halloween howlers
Every Halloween the Noel family goes the distance, decorating their Oshawa townhouse
and preparing some frightful displays to greet trick-or-treaters.
Trick-or-treaters in Seagrave will get a taste of the Snake Pit haunted maze if they visit
the home of Lance Richardson.
Take care of teeth
on Halloween
DURHAM –– Halloween
doesn’t have to be a scary
time for children’s teeth and
gums, according to the Ontario
Dental Association.
The ODA says residents
can save their children’s teeth
around Halloween without de-
priving them from the fun of
Halloween treats, so long as
they are smart about their
choice of snack.
“It’s unrealistic to think we
can keep all candy away from
our children at Halloween,”
says ODA president, Dr. Peter
Trainor. “In fact, hiding candy
from our children when others
have it may just make them
want it more.”
The doctor offers three
suggestions to improve dental
care during Halloween season.
“First, parents can do their
part by handing out healthy
Halloween snacks. Second,
sort through the treats collect-
ed by your children. And third,
encourage good dental habits,”
says Dr.Trainor.
He added there is no trick
to maintaining dental health,
but to make a ritual out of
brushing with a soft-bristle
toothbrush and flossing after
snacking to clear away sweet
and sticky substances, which
promote tooth decay.
“Treats are best eaten im-
mediately following meals
when there’s a better flow of
salvia to help wash away foods
and dilute sugar,” he says. “If
your child is snacking away
from home and can’t brush,
give them some sugarless
gum to help get the saliva flow-
ing.” The ODA says all junk
foods are not created equal
and many common snacks are
worse for teeth than Halloween
chocolates and candies, such
as raisins and fruit roll-ups.
Sticky sweets are the prime
culprits behind decay-causing
bacteria and plaque, says Dr.
Trainor. Good treats include
sugarless or low sugar can-
dies, which are not hard, such
as fruit, sugarless gum, potato
or tortilla chips, cheese puffs,
sunflower seeds, popcorn and
sugarless lollipops. Scary
treats are sweet but not sticky,
such as candies, chocolate
bars, regular gum and lollipops
and Ghostly treats are very
sweet, sticky or hard - rock
candy, raisins, peanut brittle,
toffee, caramels, jellybeans
and gummy treats.
Those with dental appli-
ances are also reminded by
the ODA to take extra precau-
tions. Retainers should be re-
moved before snacking to pre-
vent damage and people with
braces should watch their oral
hygiene even more because
particles of plaque get trapped
in tiny spaces between the
teeth and under the wires.

Veridian will continue burying wires, but it will cost customers
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Veridian
Corporation may get back
into the business of burying
wires in Pickering, but tax-
payers will be footing the
bill.
Concerned the utility com-
pany may be “abandoning its
Pickering roots”, Ward 1 Re-
gional Councillor Maurice
Brenner met with Veridian
president and chief executive
officer John Weirsma Oct. 16
to discuss the company’s
commitment to the City and
future wire-burying projects.
Mr. Weirsma has indicated
the company will no longer
take on capital projects that
won’t provide a return on in-
vestment or that can’t be re-
covered from customers.
What they agreed to in
principle, said Coun. Bren-
ner, is Pickering council’s
support of an application
from Veridian to the Ontario
Energy Board to increase
customer rates to pay for the
burying of wires across the
city.
In an interview last week,
Coun. Brenner said he will be
asking for council’s support
in directing City staff to pre-
pare a comprehensive “work-
ing plan”, including the costs
involved with burying wires
in specific areas of the city
over the next five years, to be
included in the City’s 2002
capital budget. In addition, he
will ask for a letter in support
of Veridian’s submission for a
rate increase to cover its por-
tion of the costs.
“Somebody has to pay,”
said Coun. Brenner. Burying
wires “should be part of the
day-to-day cost of service
and incorporated into the
rates”.
Coun. Brenner and Mr.
Weirsma said they were both
pleased with the meeting and
Coun. Brenner added the
wire-burying projects should
be “back on track, pending
the approval of the energy
board, and we’re teaming
with Veridian to make that
happen”.
Mr. Weirsma hopes with
the support of Pickering and
other municipalities Veridian
can convince the energy
board to allow a rate increase
to fund wire burying.
“Our meeting was very
productive and we look for-
ward to working with the
City on a plan that will work
for everyone,” he said.

Region-wide system
up for discussion
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The fate of a possible
region-wide transit system and the form
it would take will be in the hands of
Durham’s eight mayors and other mem-
bers of a new task force.
Along with the mayors, current
members of a transit co-ordination
committee will make up the new task
force formed by Durham council
Wednesday.
The task force will consider whether
a region-wide system should be created
and how the service would be delivered
and by whom. It will then report back to
council with those recommendations.
At a transit committee meeting earli-
er in the day, Durham Chairman Roger
Anderson said the Province will be
“watching us very carefully” to see
what action the Region is going to take
on transit. Later at council he said he
was confident there will be some
money from the Province for regional
transit systems as a result of a Sept. 27
announcement by Premier Mike Harris,
saying the provincial government will
get back into transit funding, a service it
had previously downloaded onto mu-
nicipalities.
Mr. Anderson also said he “could as-
sure but could not guarantee” the feder-
al government will come up with some
transit funding as well.
Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond op-
posed the idea of the task force, saying
she would prefer to see the group sit
down and discuss the co-ordination of
current transit systems already in place
in the region. The mayor has stated on
numerous occasions the only profitable
route in local transit — the Hwy. 2 cor-
ridor — might be “cherry-picked” by
the Region, leaving the municipalities
operating only the money-losing local
systems.
However, Whitby Mayor Marcel
Brunelle, who chairs the transit com-
mittee, suggested it is prudent to con-
sider the various options available to
council for creating a regional system.
“One thing that is not going to come
out of this is having more costs on the
municipalities,” he said. “There should
be an opportunity to improve our transit
system. It certainly needs it.”
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish suggested
the task force should not be set up until
more details are available on the
amount of funding that will result from
the Sept. 27 announcement.
But many councillors suggested
there is an urgency to proceed in order
to meet the need for a region-wide sys-
tem to accommodate the opening of the
Ontario Institute of Technology, a new
Durham university slated to open in
2003 at Durham College in Oshawa.

Terrorized mom, daughter
hope family is rescued from
horrors of religious war
BY CINDY UPSHALL
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Far away from the
daily horror of her Pakistani home, Laila
is consumed with fear.
Although she is safe now, living in
Oshawa, she weeps every day for her
husband and four children who remain
in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
She’s petrified that if the Muslim
fundamentalists responsible for terroriz-
ing her home town discover she and her
14-year-old daughter have made it to the
safety of Canada, they will execute her
family. She’s so frightened she refuses
to use her real name for fear someone
with connections to her homeland will
report her escape. For that very same
reason she steadfastly denies requests to
have any photographs taken of her, even
from behind.
“They pick up the young women or
any women and rape them brutally and
the boys too,” she said through a transla-
tor in her native language of Urdu. She
said if the victims don’t die from the vi-
olent attacks, the terrorists come back to
kill them.
“They” in this case are fundamental-
ist Muslims who over the past five to
seven years have been targeting Pak-
istan’s Shi’a Muslims. About 97 per cent
of Pakistan’s population of 141.6 mil-
lion are Muslims — 20 per cent of the
Shi’a sect and the rest of the Sunni sect.
Called the Sesabaa by the people of
Pakistan, the terrorist group targets
Shi’a mosques and family homes. They
have bombed buildings in the cities and
targeted anyone who does not subscribe
to their fundamentalist views.
“They say they are Muslim but that is
not the teaching of the Koran,” said
Laila, not her real name. “It’s absolutely
wrong what they do.”
It’s a refrain that’s been heard count-
less times since the world spotlight has
focused on the Taliban and its treatment
of the Afghan people. The tactics of the
Sesabaa are the same as the Taliban and
many have suggested they are the same
organization. Areas targeted in Pakistan
are located in the northern part of the
country, which is bordered by
Afghanistan.
Although the Pakistani government
does not support the group there is little
it can do to stop it.
“There is so much power and so
much money that they can disappear,”
said Laila, who seems resigned to the
situation. The attacks are not even re-
ported on the news because television
journalists fear for their lives.
When the government does arrest the
men responsible, usually dressed in
black with long beards and covered
faces, they are invariably set free with-
out being tried or punished and returned
to their mountain hideaways. Soon after,
the terrorists are back again, using vio-
lence to enforce their beliefs.
Laila knows first-hand how devastat-
ing their tactics can be.
Almost two years ago, while she and
her husband were at mosque celebrating
Mohraam, a holy observance of the
Shi’a faith, Sesabaa members tossed a
Molotov cocktail into the room where
her children slept.
Her daughter Maia barely escaped
with her life. She was severely burned
from the chest down and remained in
hospital for a year while doctors per-
formed skin graphs.
It was while Laila and her husband
were at the hospital, tending to their sick
daughter that someone, preying on their
vulnerability, said for a price Laila and
her daughter could escape the terror of
Pakistan. It would cost $50,000.
Laila and her husband sold every-
thing they could. Her dowry jewelry and
much of the family’s clothing and shoes
were sold, while family members gave
whatever they could so the two could es-
cape.
As she handed the money over to the
so-called immigration agent, Laila des-
perately believed she was doing the right
thing. Soon she would board a plane and
arrive in Canada. Not surprisingly, this
wasn’t what happened.
There was a plane that left this sum-
mer, but it only took them to Singapore
where Laila and her daughter, along
with other families, were stowed away
on a ship. Sixteen days later they arrived
in New York State. Now August, the
agent grouped the families into cabs and
sent them to the Peace Bridge.
Once there the agent said “now you
are on your own. We’ve done our busi-
ness,” recalled Laila, who becomes
more animated and excited as she tells
the story. When she asked for her pass-
port and documents the agent said they
were his and disappeared.
After several hours of interrogation
and examination of the severe burns on
her daughter, Canadian immigration of-
ficials filed papers for refugee status.
From there she was taken to a Mus-
lim shelter in Whitby, where workers
helped her secure permanent accommo-
dations and enrolled her daughter in
Grade 8 for the start of school in Sep-
tember.
Their modest Oshawa apartment is
immaculate. The floors shine and there
isn’t a speck of dust. Reducing the risk
of infection for Maia has become a para-
mount concern for Laila. They have yet
to get a family doctor and concern is
mounting because the cream to treat
Maia’s burns will soon run out.
Their new home is furnished by do-
nations from local churches, new friends
and the Salvation Army. Food was pur-
chased through emergency money from
social services.
There is a single bedroom that has
one bed for mother and daughter to
share. Some nights, when the pain of
being separated from their family is too
great Maia cuddles beside Laila for
comfort. The same room has a
makeshift desk — it’s really an old
kitchen table discarded by a previous
tenant. Beside it is a copy of Maia’s
school timetable and pictures the girl
has drawn with her donated crayons.
There are three pictures in the house,
all of her children, which she smuggled
out of the country by tucking them in-
side her Koran. If Sesabaa discovered
the pictures, they would have suspected
she was trying to leave Pakistan and
killed her. Looking at the pictures, she
cries as she explains her youngest son
just celebrated his seventh birthday.
When she called to wish him a happy
birthday he begged her to come home.
There is no phone in the apartment.
All contact must be made from public
telephones using phone cards. She fears
letters will be opened and read by the
terrorist group.
There is also no radio or television.
The only modern convenience is an old
microwave provided by her landlord.
There isn’t even a kettle and the water
for the tea Laila makes is boiled in a pot
from the Salvation Army. Despite the lit-
tle bit she has, she still offers to make a
lunch of rice and beans for her visitors.
Maia, who was educated in an Eng-
lish school in Pakistan, is flourishing,
having already made two friends and is
excelling in school. She loves to play
basketball says her mother, even though
her scarred skin sometimes makes it dif-
ficult. While she doesn’t have a comput-
er, she aspires to be a computer engi-
neer. School assignments that require
computer use must be done at school in
half-hour intervals. It costs $40 per year
to use these terminals.
Sometimes Laila said she feels sad
for what Maia has been through. But the
bright girl eases her mother’s mind say-
ing, “It doesn’t matter what my body
looks like, I’m strong.”

The jack-o’-lantern is not just anoth-
er scary face.
He is filled with nutrients for the soil
and should be composted rather than
shoved in a green garbage bag. But be-
fore heading to the compost heap, har-
vest the pumpkin’s golden goodness
using recipes from any good cookbook.
Ruth Johnson, author of ‘The Cre-
ative Cook’s Recycling Book,’ offers
eight pumpkin recipes, ranging from
casseroles to soups. For the recent Waste
Reduction Week in Canada (WRW), the
Beer Store in the Whites Road Plaza had
this cookbook as its prize in a contest to
guess the amount of bottle caps. The
winner was Katie Bowden and the activ-
ity demonstrated bottle caps can go into
the blue box for recycling.
Other pumpkin news included a dis-
play at the Pickering Recreation Com-
plex that reminded both children and
parents alike to ‘please compost me!’
Other prize winners during the week
were as follows: Ali Winston won the
mini blue box filled with environmental-
ly friendly items. Contributions to that
prize came from Grand & Toy, the City
of Pickering, Dominion Sav-A-Centre,
and Pickering Chiropractic Health Cen-
tre.
Winners of Earth Machine com-
posters were A. Wirkowskyj and Renata
Rozinger of Pickering and Ajax’s Lean-
na Bell.
Maple Ridge Public School and St.
Marguerite Bourgeoys in Pickering
were the winners in a draw to receive
‘Pee Wee at Castle Compost’ a puppet
show and vermicomposting demonstra-
tion.
During the week, the Pickering waste
reduction committee sent out its report
regarding recycling at the Frenchman’s
Bay Festival. Anyone interested in re-
ceiving the report can contact me at
roulstonlp@sympatico.ca.
The mayors’ challenge was won by
Pickering. The event examines which
municipality, Pickering or Ajax, sends
the least residential waste to landfill.
Residential garbage trucks are weighed
from January to the most recent figures
available.
From being in this business for many
years, I have come to know which areas
are the best recyclers and who sends the
least to landfill. Good recyclers are the
folks between Rougemount Drive and
Rosebank Road, south of Hwy. 2. They
know what goes into the blue box and
how to set items out right. Hats off to the
families in West Shore that, as a rule, set
out the least garbage.
Both the City of Pickering 905-420-
4660 ext 2064 and Ajax 905-683-2951
have a limited supply of composters at
the subsidized cost of $20.
If you do not compost, at least set
your old pumpkin to slowly decompose
somewhere in your yard. Pumpkins will
not be picked up with yard trimmings by
Durham Region.

Staff Writer
DURHAM ––With such
dreary weather creeping in, the
Whitby Courthouse Theatre is
hoping to lighten local spirits as
it begins its 2001-2002 season.
‘Office Hours,’ a fast-paced
comedy written by top Canadi-
an playwright Norm Foster, will
hit the stage from Nov. 8-24.
Shows run each Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday.
“It’s a very funny play that
audiences will be highly enter-
tained by, but there’s slices-of-
life moments in there too that
make you think,” says Rick
Kerr, the play’s director. “That’s
typical Norm Foster, he’s a
wonderful comedic writer.”
A cast of 16 actors ranging
from extremely experienced
down to talented newcomers,
fill the roles in ‘Office Hours.’
“What it’s about is it’s Fri-
day afternoon in the big city
and the lives of the people in the
play, which are seemingly unre-
lated, are about to change due
to quirks of fate - you might say
they are about to change hilari-
ously,” says Kerr.
“It takes place in six differ-
ent offices in a big city and it
just shows how through little
quirks and little chance happen-
ings all these people are interre-
lated and they don’t know it.”
Play promoter Bert Heaver
said the WCT tries to read the
minds of its audience before
picking a play and even takes
weather into consideration.
“For instance, when winter
is approaching or in the middle
of winter we like to try and pick
a comedy just to brighten up the
days,” says Heaver.
“That format has worked re-
ally successfully over the years
and ‘Office Hours’ really fits
that category.”
Kerr is a Norm Foster fan
and said even though his work
is really funny, sometimes it’s
very poignant as well and
shows how he understands the
Canadian human condition with
grass roots people can grab hold
of.
“In these times when there’s
an awful lot of worry in the
world, I think it’s valuable for
people to force themselves to
go out, get their head away
from the negative world condi-
tions and just go out and forget
about life for a while and just
come on and have a good
laugh,” added Kerr. “I really be-
lieve this play will give people a
very entertaining diversion
from the everyday stresses of
life.”
The 30th season for the
WCT will be restricted to two
plays this season as renovations
will put the theatre out of action
later in 2002.
In addition to ‘Office
Hours,’ Moliere’s ‘The Imagi-
nary Invalid’ takes place from
Feb. 7-23, 2002. Subscriptions
for the two-play series are avail-
able at Lafontaine Trading Post
at 106 Dundas St., in Whitby:
905-430-3774, or by phoning
the theatre at 416 Centre St. S.
in Whitby at 905-668-1171.

Defensive battle goes to
St. Mary, 14-0 over Pine Ridge
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —While offence has carried
the day for the St. Mary Catholic Secondary
School Monarchs football team this season, it
was the defence that stepped up in a pivotal clash
with the Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas
Tuesday.
The St. Mary defence was at its level best in
completely shutting down Pine Ridge en route to
a 14-0 win in a battle between two Lake Ontario
Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) football
squads that entered Tuesday’s contest with iden-
tical 5-0 records.
Although the win was atypical for a St. Mary
squad able to score almost at will this season, the
Monarchs nonetheless rode the thorough defen-
sive effort to the victory.
“We were very happy to get the win,” noted
Monarchs’ head coach Gordon Judges. “We
knew it would be a big challenge. The guys came
through and played some tough, hard-nosed foot-
ball today. Playing for first place was everything
we knew it would be. Our defence played mag-
nificently. They played the game the way it was
supposed to be played.”
While absorbing their first loss of the season,
the Pumas, said head coach Bruce Elliott, can
take solace in limiting a potent St. Mary offence.
“I was surprised they could only score 14
points. That was a real credit to our defence,” said
Elliott, who was impressed with the play of Amir
Thompson, a defensive end and offensive guard
who’s been a stalwart performer for the Pumas
this year.
After a scoreless first half, St. Mary aban-
doned its varied offensive sets to instead go with
a straight-ahead, smash-mouth ground game,
supplied by fullback Dane Okrasa. The move
paid off in a touchdown after a long series that ate
up most of the third quarter. Okrasa
barged in from about five yards out
and then kicked the convert.
Judges explained Okrasa was just the tonic to
get the offence started.
“When you have 240 pounds of fullback com-
ing at you, you have your hands full,” said
Judges. “We felt that running him inside was the
way to play.”
Elliott conceded his club’s inability to curtail
the straight-ahead running of Okrasa in the sec-
ond half was a factor in the loss.
“They found a spot on our defence and ex-
ploited it,” he said. “But, we’ll change that for the
next time.”
The Monarchs’ ability to pass wasn’t com-
pletely curtailed by the Pumas. After St. Mary
was awarded excellent field position on a botched
Pine Ridge punt, quarterback Erik Glavic hooked
up with receiver Ryan D’Sousza for a 15-yard
touchdown strike in the corner of the end zone.
Again, Okrasa was good with the point-after at-
tempt.
With the win, the Mon-
archs clinched first place
and home-field advantage
in the LOSSA ‘A’semifinal
contest slated for Tuesday,
Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. St. Mary
will likely host Ajax’s
Archbishop Denis O’Con-
nor Catholic High School
Chargers. Meanwhile, Pine
Ridge is expected to hook
up with Whitby’s Henry
Street High School Hawks
in the other ‘A’ semifinal
game, also Nov. 6 at 2 p.m.
St. Mary finishes the
regular season by hosting
Whitby’s Sinclair Sec-
ondary School Celtics Fri-
day. Meanwhile, Pine
Ridge also closes the sea-
son Friday with a game
against the Exeter High
School Falcons of Ajax.
But win over Oshawa gives
Pickering weekend split
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —The Pickering Boyer Pontiac
Panthers continued their string of futility against
the St. Michael’s Buzzers Sunday night.
The Panthers are 0-for-4 against the first-place
Buzzers this season after losing 6-3 in OHA On-
tario Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League action at
St. Michael’s Arena in Toronto Sunday. Pickering
split the weekend action with a 5-1 win over the
last-place Oshawa Legionaires at the Pickering
Recreation Complex Friday.
The split leaves the Panthers (6-8-2-1 for 15
points) in fifth place in the league’s South Confer-
ence standings.
The Panthers and the Legionaires hooked up
again Tuesday night at the Oshawa Civic Auditori-
um. The result wasn’t available at the News Adver-
tiser’s press deadline.
In a textbook case of how not to have a prayer of
beating the talented St. Mike’s squad, the Panthers
fell into an early hole by giving up two quick goals,
and another later in the first period. To their credit,
the Panthers mounted a comeback, scoring once in
the first and then, after a scoreless second period,
opened the scoring in the third period with a power-
play marker to cut the deficit 3-2. St. Michael’s,
however, added three more, including an empty-net
marker, to seal the deal.
A shaky start by veteran goaltender Mike An-
dreoff set the tone for the Panthers, as he was beat-
en for three goals on the first six shots. Head coach
Bill Purcell gave Andreoff the hook after the third
goal, inserting Scott Gray for the remainder of the
game.
Purcell noted the team needed consistently good
goaltending to compete against the run-and-gun
Buzzers, but it didn’t materialize in the early going.
“You’ve got to have good goaltending to have a
chance to beat that club. He’s got to hold you in
there,” said Purcell.
The Panthers also received a scare in an appar-
ent serious injury to veteran defenceman Alex
Greig. In the second period, Greig was cut with a
skate blade in the lower part of his arm. He was
taken to hospital where he received several stitches
and later released.
Ryan Taylor, Brent Chandler and Iain McPhee
scored for Pickering. Picking up assists
were Scott Oldfield, Mike Alexiou,
Garett Winder and Chandler.
The Panthers were outshot 26-21.
Meanwhile, in a solid effort against
Oshawa (3-9-4-0), the Panthers recov-
ered from a relatively slow start to post
a thorough victory.
Gray led his team to victory, stop-
ping 44 shots and missing a shutout on
a controversial play. With Pickering
leading 5-0 in the third, Legionaires’
Matt Sherban’s close-range shot trickled through
Gray’s pads. Gray reached around and swooped the
puck away but a linesman ruled the puck had al-
ready crossed the line.
Purcell said he was impressed with the effort of
his charges.
“We had one of those nights when everyone
clicked. Everyone did their jobs and when we do
that we can win hockey games,” said Purcell.
Chandler led the scoring charge with a two-goal
effort and was solid in his checking role against the
Legionaires’ top forward line. Also scoring were
Winder, Sean Bradley and Paul McFarland, with
two assists to Alexiou, and singles to Kyle Aitken,
Colin Jennings, Scott Mitchell and Greig.
The Panthers have a busy three-games-in-four-
nights stretch on the horizon, starting Friday at the
Pickering Recreation Complex against the Thorn-
hill Rattlers at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Panthers
host the Buzzers at 7:30 p.m., and on Monday, the
juniors are on the road to Vaughan for a game
against the Vipers at 7:15 p.m.
PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:The Panthers
lost forward Dan Schofield to a shoulder injury for
an indefinite period of time. In addition, the club
may be without Greig indefinitely, owing to the cut
on his arm...

Pontiac Panthers forward Brent
Chandler has been a solid two-
way performer for the Panthers of
late, as witnessed by his play in
two Provincial junior ‘a’ hockey
games this past weekend.
In a 5-1 win over the Oshawa
Legionaires Friday night, Chandler
led the scoring charge with a two-
goal effort and was solid in his
checking role against the
Legionaires’ top forward line.
Chandler also registered a goal
and an assist in a 6-3 loss to the
St. Michael’s Buzzers in Toronto
Sunday night.

AUCTION
Durham Region 2001
Ajax Pickering News Advertiser
BIDDING AS EASY AS...

BIDDING AS EASY AS...
What is The Auction Durham Region?
It’s a Southern Ontario newspaper silent auction
and it’s happening right here in Durham Region.
For a period of seven consecutive days, the readers
of The Ajax Pickering News Advertiser can bid on
all sorts of great merchandise and services...and
have the chance to save some real dollars at the
same time! With hundreds of items worth
thousands of dollars up for grabs, it’s going to be
fun and exciting!
How Does it Work?
Rather than a live auction like you’re probably
used to, Auction is a silent auction. Instead of an
auctioneer taking bids, there is an Auction Trust
Committee that over sees the whole bidding
process. Instead of a number or people trying to
outbid each other one after another, people submit
their Maximum Secret Bid and the Auction Trust
Committee acts on their behalf and submits bids
for them according to a predetermined set of rules.
(Watch your newspaper for a complete description
of how it works or pick up a copy of the rules at
The Ajax Pickering News Advertiser or go to
www.auctiondurhamregion.com. The benefit of
this type of auction is not having to constantly
submit one bid after another when you are outbid
and, consequently, not having to follow the auction
minute by minute as it unfolds. (In an seven-day
auction that would be very time consuming!)
When the auction is finished, the person who has
submitted the highest bid will buy the item only
$10 over the second-place bid.
Are These All New Items?
Yes! All items and services in the Auction come
with applicable warranties, just as if you purchased
the item direct from the retailer. The selling prices
listed throughout this program reflect the actual
retail prices of their respective items.
* Pre-owned appliances purchased through a
dealer.
When Does The Auction Start?
Auction Durham Region commences at 9:00 a.m.
on Saturday, November 3, 2001, and concludes at
5:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 10, 2001.
However, there are only certain times that bids will
be accepted by phone.
Does My Bid Include Tax?
No. Successful bidders will be responsible for all
applicable taxes on the items they purchase on their
winning bids.
What if I See Multiple
Item Numbers for One Item?
If you see in the ‘Product Profile’ ad four (4) item
numbers for example, this means there are four (4)
of that same product up for auction. You will need
to choose one item number that you want to bid on
and then call in or submit your bid electronically. In
this example there are four (4), each valued at $626.
You can bid on any one or more of the four (4). Then
follow the results as you normally would in The
Ajax Pickering News Advertiser or at
www.auctiondurhamregion.com.
Why Participate?
Besides the fact that you may never again have the
opportunity to buy items like the ones we are
featuring at such unheard of savings, bidding is
competitive, exciting and fun!
How do I Participate?
Bid early and bid wisely. Here’s how: Find an item
(or two or more) that catches your eye. Maybe it’s
something you need, or maybe it’s something you
want for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
Visit or contact the participant businesses to view or
to learn more about the item(s) you will be bidding
on. Pick your own deal. You decide how much
you’re willing to spend on the item. Remember, if
you win the auction, you are obligated to buy the
item for the winning bid amount, and all sales are
final.
Who is Eligible to Participate?
Bidding is open to any resident of Ontario 18 years
of age or over. Employees of The News Advertiser
and their immediate family members are not
eligible to participate. Employees of participating
businesses may bid, but not on items that are
provided by their respective companies.
How do I Keep Track of The Auction?
Follow the bidding in The News Advertiser, or at
www.auctiondurhamregion.com. Each update will
consist of item number and description, actual
selling price, current bid value, ID code of the high
bidder and reserve status. If you notice that you are
outbid, that is to say the published bid level is
higher than your Maximum Secret Bid , you might
want to consider submitting a higher Maximum
Secret Bid to still try and win that auction.
What is the ID Code?
The published ID code of a bidder is the way to
protect the identity of a high bidder on an auction
item while still letting that bidder know their
status. The ID code consists of the initials of the
bidder and the last three digits of the bidder’s
phone number.
What is Reserve Status?
Reserve status tells you whether or not the reserve
price for an item has been met. Each item has a
reserve price. In the event that there are no bids for
an item equal to or greater than this price when the
auction ends, the item may not be sold to the high
bidder. The reserve prices range from 50% to 65% of
the actual selling price of the item. The reserve
prices are fixed values that have been set by the
Auction Trust Committee and will not be altered
after bidding is underway. Reserve status may have
one of two values:
Reserve not yet met: The value of the highest bid is
less than the reserve amount.
Reserve met: item will sell: The value of the highest
bid is at least the reserve amount. The item will be
sold. Please note that any Maximum Secret Bid
placed which exceeds the reserve will automatically
be placed by the Auction Trust Committee at the
reserve price.
What Happens if I’m the Winning Bidder?
The Auction Trust Committee will contact you by
phone within five business days upon closing of the
auction if your bid is the winning bid for any given
item at the end of the auction.
How do I Pay for the Item(s) I have Purchased?
Winning bid amounts must be paid in full to the
News Advertiser or Oshawa This Week. You may
pay by cash, certified cheque, money order, VISA,
MasterCard, Interac.
SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON HUNDREDS OF ITEMSSAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON HUNDREDS OF ITEMS
Why Enter a Maximum Secret Bid?
Because Auction Durham Region is not a live auction, you cannot react instantly to someone bidding against you on
the same item. For this reason, we are using a system called Proxy Bidding.
Under Proxy bidding, you tell our Auction Trust Committee the most you are willing to pay for an item. This is your
Maximum Secret Bid and is known only by you and the Auction Trust Committee. The Committee then places a bid
on your behalf at the lowest level possible to make you the high bidder for the item. If you are outbid, the Auction
Trust Committee will raise your bid by $20 increments until you are again the high bidder or until your Maximum
Secret Bid is reached. Your bid will not exceed your Maximum Secret Bid unless you submit another form with a
higher Maximum Secret Bid. Check listings in The News Advertiser or at www.auctiondurhamregion.com each day
for the current bid level for your item. If it is below your secret maximum, you remain the highest bidder. If it
exceeds your last highest bid, it is time for you to submition a higher bid, therefore you save the trouble of call or
submit via email when somebody outbids you. As a result, you reduce the chances of being outbid at the last minute
before the auction ends.
Example of Bidding Process
1. Bidding for an item starts at $500
2. Bidder A determines that he is willing to pay $740 for that item and, therefore, submits a Maximum Secret Bid of
$740 for that item.
3. The Auction Trust Committee enters a bid of $500 (the opening bid) on behalf of bidder A, which is the minimum
needed to make bidder A the highest bidder.
4. You determine that you are willing to pay $1000 for the same item; therefore, you submit a Maximum Secret Bid of
$1000 for that item.
5. The Auction Trust Committee enters a bid for $760 on your behalf, which is the minimum amount needed to make
you the highest bidder.
6. The auction ends.
7. You are the winner, you purchase the item for $760, plus applicable taxes.
Determine the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item you are bidding on.That will be your Maximum Secret Bid.
Be sure you know the item number and description of the item you are bidding on as well. Your Maximum Secret Bid may not
necessarily be the price you pay if you are the successful bidder (you may pay less, never more.) However, choose a maximum
carefully as you won’t be able to reduce it later and you’ll be legally bound to pay that price if it is the winning bid.
If you are bidding online, fill out your full, address, your age and your home and work phone number in the applicable fields.
After you have become a registered bidder, then follow the online instructions. If bidding by telephone, have the above
information on hand. You must include all information.
Forms with missing information are not valid and will be rejected without notice.
Submit your bid anytime between 9 a.m., Saturday, November 3, 2001 and 5:00 p.m. Saturday, November 10, 2001. Phone in your
bid between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays, and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekends. Under no
circumstances will bids be accepted after 5:00 p.m. on the auction’s final day, Saturday, November 10, 2001. Bids will ONLY be
accepted by phone or online. By phone: Call the Auction Durham Region Bid Line at 1-866-834-2243 beginning at 9:00 a.m.,
Saturday, November 3, 2001. Via our Website: www.auctiondurhamregion.com

’Tis the season
AJAX –– Cassie and Brandon Zinga put their stamp on a couple of
small pumpkins during the recent Pickering Village Fall Festival. With
the help of their mother, Shirley, the youngsters got an early start on
festivities which culminate tonight with trick-or-treating in neigh-
bourhoods across Durham Region.
Hellish conditions a fact of life
in Durham for mother, daughter
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The frail, harried
young woman dreads winter. Not
only can’t she afford to buy warm
clothing for herself and a growing
daughter, but the one-bedroom apart-
ment she shares with 10-year-old
Cathy has no heat.
“We’ve lived there over a year
now,” said Mary over a coffee not far
from where she lives in a Durham
Region town. But with no support
from Cathy’s father, the $1,000 per
month income she receives from On-
tario Works doesn’t allow for much
living.
Mary desperately wants a home. A
two-bedroom apartment in a safe and
clean building or house would be a
dream come true for the 33-year-old
who broke her leg so badly last year,
she can’t work.
Her current living conditions are
substandard by anyone’s assessment.
Mary sleeps on the couch and Cathy
on the bed. There is no door between
the two sleeping areas and therefore
no privacy for either. But that’s not
the worst of it.
A malfunctioning septic system
has backed up, flooding the basement
floor. Vermin run rampant throughout
the house and the stench is unbear-
able.
The stove doesn’t work and there
are no smoke detectors.
“Our room is the only room that
doesn’t smell,” said Mary. “I can’t do
too much laundry at one time be-
cause the mice get in the clean
clothes and I always have to rewash
the dishes because of the mouse
feces.”
The cost of utilities plus $575 a
month rent leaves less than $300 for
food, clothing, transportation and
Cathy’s school supplies. Forget
Christmas. Financial struggle is a
daily given but what really strikes
fear in the heart of the single mother
is losing her child.
She is terrified of contacting the
municipal property standards author-
ities about the deplorable state of her
rental unit for fear the Children’s Aid
Society will be alerted about the con-
ditions and remove her daughter from
the home.
“I cannot lose my child,” said
Mary. “She would be lost without her
mom. We would be lost without each
other.
“I can’t move. You need first and
last months’ rent.”
The concerned mother has applied
to the Durham Region Housing Ac-
cess Centre for low rental housing,
but the waiting list is at least five to
eight years.
This kind of anxiety is not new to
Pickering Councillor Maurice Bren-
ner who chaired an affordable hous-
ing forum in Oshawa Oct. 23.
Calling the lack of affordable
housing a national crisis, he and
other speakers brought home the
point Durham Region has a housing
crisis, too.
Speaker after speaker, including a
survivor of homelessness and run-
down rooming houses, a church-
based activist involved in educating
the community to help support fami-
lies lucky enough to find transitional
housing, and Shirley Van Steen,
Durham’s first housing director and a
representative of Durham Region’s
task force on affordable housing, all
agreed something must be done to
make housing available to the poor
and disabled.
Ms. Van Steen told the large audi-
ence the task force is reviewing with
the private sector what barriers there
are to building new affordable rental
housing.
“We report back to council on
Dec. 5... Council has to come to
some conclusion and recommenda-
tion... It’s not an easy problem to
solve... but I’m optimistic the task
force will come up with something
concrete although, realistically, we
can’t do it alone. We need other lev-
els of government.”
(Although their plight is accurate
and in no way exaggerated, some of
the descriptive details of Mary’s situ-
ation have been changed to protect
her and her daughter’s identity).
‘I cannot lose my child.
She would be lost without
her mom. We would be
lost without each other.’
–– Mary
Stay
safe this
Halloween
night
AJAX —Fol-
lowing a few
safety precau-
tions can ensure
a safe and fire-
free Halloween.
Thom Evered,
chief fire preven-
tion officer for
the Town of
Ajax, noted
property damage,
injury and fatali-
ty rates all in-
crease during
holidays and
other festive sea-
sons.
To ensure
safety, Mr.
Evered has some
suggestions.
“Use flash-
lights or light
sticks, not can-
dles, during Hal-
loween,” he said.
“If you do plan to
use candles in-
doors, take spe-
cial precautions.
Always place
candles in a can-
dle stick before
lighting them and
provide a sturdy
base to collect
the melted wax.”
Candles
should be placed
far enough away
from com-
bustible materi-
als, such as cur-
tains and bed-
ding, in order to
prevent an acci-
dental ignition.
Also, never put
candles near a
door, because a
fire could block
an exit out of the
room.
“And, never
place a lighted
candle in a win-
dow. It could eas-
ily fall off the
window ledge or
ignite window
coverings,” Mr.
Evered said.
Other safety
tips include:
• Use flash-
lights in jack-o’-
lanterns, not can-
dles;
• Never cover
light bulbs with
paper or other
combustible ma-
terials;
• All paper
and cloth used
for decorations
should be flame
retardant;
• Keep corn
stalk decorations
away from fire;
and
• Use only
flame-retardant
paper or fabric
for costumes.
