And this could be just the start on a long road of new standards from the provincial government that could cost millions more, suggested Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son. “This is just the beginning,” he predicted at a recent works commit- tee meeting. “When Walkerton (re- port) comes out there’s no way this government isn’t going to do exact- ly what this guy says.” Mr. Anderson was referring to an inquiry into last year’s tainted water epidemic in the northwest Ontario community that killed a handful of people and left thousands others sick.

See DURHAM page 4 Board hears of limited choice in filling advisory panels BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler says the results of this year’s public school commu- nity council elections are “shock- ing”. Luigia Ayotte, the Durham District School Board’s Pickering superintendent, at Monday’s standing committee meeting pre- sented a report on SCC elections, which concluded early last month. School councils are advisory bodies to principals and school boards comprised of parents, teaching and non-teaching staff members and community repre- sentatives. A year ago the Province introduced new regula- tions that now require principals and school boards to consult with councils when they develop or amend policies affecting students.

Constable Cheryl Carter said Mrs. Hadley filed a complaint against Mr. Hadley, who was under a restraining order not to communicate with his wife, at 11:19 a.m. on Feb. 22, 2000. The call had been displayed on the police computer system and listed as “low priority,” said Const. Carter, who took it upon herself to attend Gillian’s Hillcrest Road home in Pickering at 8 p.m. the following day. “The fact that it’s a domestic (case), it’s more than a low-priority call. She was in trouble. A car needed to be dispatched,” the six-year veteran testified yesterday at the inquest into the couple’s June 20, 2000 murder- suicide. “I didn’t feel comfortable that this call had been on the screen for this long.” According to court documents, Mr. Hadley had called his wife at least eight times from Feb. 13 to 21, 2000, and was spotted lingering near her house on seven occasions. He was under a restraining order awaiting trial for assaulting Gillian Jan. 7, 2000, when he caught her hav- ing sex at her secret lover’s Ajax home. He consistently pushed Mrs. Hadley to meet with him and threat- ened to make public some “compro- mising” photos of her and her lover, Clark Kostyshyn. “After what you’ve done to me, wait till I get through with you, what I’m going to do to you,” Mr. Hadley apparently told his wife in the last phone call before she called police. Const. Carter said Mrs. Hadley was more annoyed at the time than concerned about her safety. But the officer, who has taken domestic vio- lence training on her own initiative, told her, “I believe he would kill you. He is losing control of you and I’m extremely concerned for your safety.” Based on materials from courses she took at Durham College, Carter assessed the risk factors facing Mrs. Hadley and determined her life was in great danger. Mr. Hadley was arrested Feb. 25, 2000 and released on bail three days later. On June 20, he snuck into Mrs. Hadley’s home and shot her before taking his own life. She was among five victims of domestic violence in Ajax and Pickering in 1999 and 2000, Const. Carter said. After the couple’s deaths, Durham police introduced a new directive on domestic violence Sept. 8, 2000, pro- viding officers with a specific inves- tigative checklist and a case threat as- sessment form. But “there was no training and we were (only) told to fill out these re- ports when an arrest was made,” Const. Carter noted. When asked by coroner counsel Al O’Marra if there was more she could have done to help save Mrs. Hadley, she replied, “I don’t really know. The Crown could have called me to the bail hearing. In this case, I might have a chance to talk to (Mr. Hadley’s lawyer).” — TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE 900 Champlain Avenue, Oshawa 1-800-642-4561 (905) 723-5211 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARY 50TH ANNIVERSARYReclinersRecliners fromfrom $ $419419 includes GST** creditincludes GST** credit ** Credit equal to the GST 1 YEAR NO INTEREST NO PAYMENTS* NO GST 1 YEAR NO INTEREST NO PAYMENTS* NO GST 1 YEAR NO INTEREST NO PAYMENTS* NO GST Room Settings atRoom Settings at Sale PricesSale Prices *Customer may choose only one of the following offers.

The locations requiring the most substantial work are the Os- hawa plant, built in 1931 and the Whitby plant, constructed in 1975. The Os- hawa site will re- quire $13.1 mil- lion in upgrades, while the estimat- ed cost in Whitby is $5.4 million. Twelve other Durham Region plants require less extensive work. If the entire cost is absorbed through rate in- creases, water rates would go up 60 per cent, said Jack McCorkell, the Region’s works director. Although the ministry has stat- ed the upgrades must be complete by the end of 2002, the Region is hoping it will be allowed to phase in the im- provements over a five-year period to make the fi- nancial commit- ment less painful for ratepayers, said Mr. Mc- Corkell. But Mr. An- derson said five years is too long to wait and the Region must find another way to get the improve- ments completed sooner without hammering users for the cost. “Water and sewer is our life- line. The Region must be able to say it can provide the best water. I suggest staff come back immediately with a game plan. Durham has to be able to say to the public ‘not only do we meet the current regulations, we exceed them’.” The regional chairman suggested reserves are kept for a rainy day and it is about to “pour”. The improvements cannot be done strictly on a levy basis, he said. Works committee chairman and Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson noted, “It’s only fair that we all know we’re not going to raise rates 60 per cent.” He added the price tag for the work is an estimate and the actual cost may not be that high.

Ms. Ayotte’s report states several schools did not have enough parents come forward and many had to ap- point parent volunteers. Four SCCs have no teacher representatives and 37 have no non-teaching members. “I find the results shocking, the dis- interest, and yet I say that with tongue in cheek because I know parents are interested,” said Trustee Shetler. She wondered if parents are too busy, or “maxed out” doing other things like helping their children with homework, to sit on councils. And re- ferring to the board’s SCC handbook for parents, a think binder of informa- tion, she speculated parents are intim- idated by “too many rules and regula- tions”. Ms. Ayotte agreed the SCC process has become “a lot more formal”, but said she thinks “a fear of the un- known” may be keeping parents away. Referring to non-teaching council members, she noted the Province does not permit board employees to sit on councils at the school where they work. Last April, board chairman Eliza- beth Roy expressed concerns that with paid lunchroom supervisors no longer allowed to serve on councils, half of the board’s SCCs would be adversely affected. Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melin- da Crawford agreed the SCC data is “kind of sad looking”, and suggested a leadership development program for parents and recognition letters from the board director to parents who have served on SCCs, among other mea- sures, might encourage parents to get involved. “We’re still getting lots of parents interested in what’s taking place in their schools, is that correct?” asked Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford. “Absolutely,” Ms. Ayotte replied, noting one school boasts more than 70 volunteers. Responding to Trustee Melinda Crawford, she said the board in the past has “tried everything to encour- age people to step forward and stay” on SCCs. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers, a former SCC chairman in Port Perry, said in his experience the principals’ attitude towards councils is a decisive factor in their success. He suggested seniors and school custodians could serve as able SCC members. However Jack Massie, the board’s facilities superintendent, said custodi- ans are “under considerable pressure to maintain the buildings” and would have to volunteer to serve on SCCs in their free time. Ms. Ayotte said the good news is that every school has a council, and that community members, when asked to sit on councils, are very willing to do so.

Crops that have been genetically modified (GM) are changing the face of agriculture around the world. There are roughly 109-million acres of GM crops around the world. Advocates claim these crops provide benefits to consumers as well as the environment. By inserting selected genes into plants they can be altered to resist in- sects, disease or tolerate weed-killing herbicides. The gene used to make plants in- sect-resistant enables them to produce their own toxins to combat insects that normally feed on them. This can greatly reduce the amount of pesticide used on the crop, which translates into dollar savings as well as less impact on the environment. In the U.S. alone, about 971 million pounds of pesti- cides are used each year. However, this modification is con- troversial because the pollen generat- ed may come in contact with other plant species. These other plants can then produce their own toxin affecting the insects and animals that feed on them, such as the monarch butterfly. Crops that have been genetically modified to resist herbicides may also be beneficial, as less toxic weed-con- trol is required. On the other hand, this attribute is likely to spread to related plants that are considered weeds, thus potentially producing ‘super weeds’. This apparently is the case in some areas with canola crops. Another concern regarding GM crops is that eventually, as with many pesticides, the weeds and insects adapt. Farmers use “refuge” areas to combat this potential problem. These areas are planted with non-modified crops in order to reduce this likelihood of resistance. Many scientists are con- cerned about GM crops, as very few studies have been done to prove their safety. They would prefer more stud- ies are undertaken and in the mean- time have farmers use more environ- mentally friendly practices such as crop rotation. As many as 60 per cent of products in the U.S. (cereals, etc.) contain a GM ingredient. GM crops include soybean, canola, cotton and corn. At the moment, there are trial sites in five provinces for GM wheat. The Canadi- an Wheat board as well as farmers and scientists are concerned because there are many countries that will not ac- cept GM foods. There is a risk other wheat crops could become contami- nated with obvious undesirable re- sults. Many plants naturally produce poisons and allergens, and it is possi- ble genetic modification can have un- expected results. Companies developing this tech- nology assure us peanut genes will not be introduced into other plants, be- cause of the concern of allergies. One would hope more studies will be initi- ated and that products are proven safe. GM food crops — the pros and cons of science Do benefits of protecting against weeds, disease outweigh risk of resistance, harm to environment? Janice Freund Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 9, 2001 Grandstanding on poppies embarrassing To the editor: Re: The library board’s banning of poppy campaign and subsequent rever- sal. It is very regretful the City of Picker- ing has gone through this national em- barrassment. This is certainly the wrong reason for having the city’s name in front of the nation. It is equally embarrassing that certain members of council quickly seized this opportunity for political grandstanding and didn’t care about the negativity the city would have to deal with. Shame on you. This is an issue that most certainly could, and should, have been solved be- hind closed doors in a rational and intel- ligent manner, but some councillors seem to enjoy washing dirty laundry in public and putting their own political agendas above all else, even at the cost of smearing the reputations of others. Perhaps with stronger and firmer leader- ship at the top, future embarrassing inci- dents will not occur. I might add no member of the public, library board or council, expressed any- thing but sincere appreciation and re- spect for what our veterans and war dead have done to preserve our much trea- sured and enjoyed freedoms (which in- cludes the freedom of speech and the freedom to vote in a democratic forum without fear of harassment and persecu- tion). Making a donation for a poppy is not supporting a charity, but is preserv- ing a memory. Lest we forget.

It also happens to fall precisely two months after the hor- rific terrorist attack on New York and Washington that shocked the world. Twenty-four Canadians were killed when two jets slammed into the World Trade Center towers, causing the mammoth buildings to eventually collapse to the Earth. Many firefight- ers, police officers and other emergency workers died trying to save those trapped inside. In all, more than 5,000 innocent people lost their lives. So we stand silently Sunday and remember them. We also think about the thousands of Canadians at sea off the shores of Pakistan, working to make this world of ours a better place. These fine young men and women are carrying on a sacred trust, a belief in our way of life that saw many thousands of Canadian men die on the battlefields of Europe, Africa and Asia during the past century. The two World Wars were cataclysmic events that truly shook the globe. To attempt to compare what has happened in the past few months with the slaughter of millions during 1914-18 and 1939-45 is pure folly. We can only hope and pray the world will never again see devastation like those unreal 20th century wars. More than 50 million people alone were killed during the Second World War. However, we must be prepared for whatever comes our way. This is a time to remember what we have suffered through in the past, but it also stands as a day to consider what we must do to meet the challenges of the future. Do we have the military strength to defend the freedoms we cherish in Canada? Are we ready to deal with a terrorist at- tack? Do we have the intelligence network needed to handle the inevitable difficulties we will be subjected to now and in the years to come? How vulnerable are we to bioterrorism? These are all difficult questions and we must be able to an- swer ‘Yes’ to them in the near future. The price needed to pay for the freedoms we take for grant- ed is very high. If you don’t realize that, think about it Sunday. Ask a veteran about that price. He’ll no doubt be able to tell you about it in no uncertain terms. Now, more than ever we must not forget As the fight for freedom continues, honour these sacrifices this Remembrance Day really exhausted or totally stim- ulated.

The forum runs from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Whitby Men- tal Health Centre in the auditorium on 700 Gordon St. Tickets are $35 each, $60 for a family and include lunch. “I have a lot of friends and family members with ADD and ADHD so I met these practitioners and thought that they have a lot of integrity and I see that what they are doing works,” said Leslie Laycox, of Holistic Health and Nutrition, which will be hosting the forum. To be discussed are beneficial foods to better control the disorders, coaching for ADD and ADHD, naturopathic medicine, allergy treat- ments, brain gym to help integrate the left and right brain to provide more focus, and building the self es- teem of teens with it. “We have a physiotherapist who will be speaking about self-esteem for children and teens with ADD and ADHD because they’re often la- belled behavioural problems,” she said. “They’re not; they’re just really highly creative, intelligent people with a lot of energy and most people can’t handle that and that’s frustrat- ing.” Ms. Laycox added how in some cases the high level of energy can be caused by something such as high amounts of sugar causing an imbal- ance in the brain. It can also be an allergic reaction to wheat or sugar and produced one of two reactions: they’re going to be NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 9, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P Saturday forum puts focus on attention deficit disorder Just the fax: 905-683-7363 ARE YOUR RECYCLABLES AND FOOD AND YARD WASTES ENDING UP HERE?

The Education Quality and Account- ability Office (EQAO), an arm’s-length agency of the provincial government, tested the Province’s grades 3 and 6 stu- dents earlier this year in reading, writing and math. It was the third straight year for the test and board-by-board results were released Tuesday, indicating the percentage of students who met or sur- passed the provincial standard of Level 3, which translates to between 70 and 79 per cent. Bev Freedman, programs superinten- dent at the Durham District School Board, said she was “pleased” the board’s scores were at or above the provincial average. Her only disappoint- ment was that reading and writing re- sults did not show greater improvement. “We’re pleased and hopefully next year we’ll be even more pleased,” said Ms. Freedman. In five of the six subject and grade categories, a greater percentage of pub- lic school students achieved at or above the provincial standard than last year. Fifty-five per cent of local Grade 6s met or surpassed the standard in reading, compared to 50 per cent last year. The writing percentage increased from 49 to 53, and 53 per cent of the Grade 6s met or bettered the provincial math standard, two points better than 2000. In Grade 3, 51 per cent of students met or surpassed the standard in reading, compared to 50 per cent last year. The writing percentage dropped by one point to 52, while 63 per cent of local Grade 3s met or exceeded the math standard, compared to 60 per cent in 2000. At the Durham Catholic District School Board, Gerry Blake, elementary programs superintendent, said the board was “very pleased” with the Grade 6 re- sults, but not so with the Grade 3 num- bers, which all fell from last year. “We are somewhat disappointed in our Grade 3 results because we are somewhat below the provincial aver- age,” he said. The board will develop an action plan to address the low scores, said Mr. Blake. In Grade 3, 46 per cent of Catholic students met or surpassed the standard in reading, compared to 49 per cent last year. The writing percentage dropped by two points to 50, while 54 per cent met or exceeded the standard in math, com- pared to 55 per cent last year. Meanwhile, 57 per cent of Grade 6s met or surpassed the standard in reading, compared to 52 last year. The writing percentage increased from 50 to 55, and 53 per cent met or did better in math than the provincial standard, two points better than 2000. Provincially, the percentage of Grade 3 students who met or did better than the standard in reading, writing and math was 49, 52 and 61, respectively, and 55, 53 and 54 per cent for Grade 6 students. The Catholic board is to release school-by-school results at its Nov. 12 board meeting in Oshawa. The public board is looking at early December to release its results.

Public trustees will present five suggested options to public BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s public school board plans to hold meetings in seven of the region’s eight munic- ipalities to ask residents what the fu- ture of publicly funded education in Ontario should look like. The decision was prompted by an Ontario Public School Boards’ Association discussion paper, ‘ex- ploring future directions in publicly- funded education’. The paper asks boards to consid- er five models or options for the de- livery of education to students: the status quo, with four publicly-fund- ed systems based on religion and language; a secular model based on language; a secular model based on language, but with academic studies of civics and world religions; a plu- ralistic model with religious instruc- tion offered outside of the regular school day, based on community need; and a pluralistic model incor- porating religious indoctrination into the school day, again, based on area needs. The OPSBA has asked school boards to determine what options they would consider pursuing. And while the Durham District School Board formed an ad hoc committee to respond to OPSBA, which set a mid-December deadline, Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen went a step further, successfully motioning at Monday’s standing committee meeting that the discussion be taken to the public in the new year. Meet- ings will be in all Durham commu- nities except Clarington, which does not fall under its jurisdiction. “I think the board needs to look at possibilities and throw the ball back to the public,” she said in an in- terview. Trustee Steffen conceded “it would be confusing” for the board to take one position and then find the public favours another. But she believes the OPSBA timeline is too tight. “For the board to come to a deci- sion that soon, I just don’t think it would be a valid decision,” said Trustee Steffen. She favours the fifth option in which under one publicly funded system, faith communities could have their own school if there were enough numbers to justify a facility. Trustee Steffen said this “magnet school” option could apply, for ex- ample, in Toronto where there is a large Jewish community. “All of these kids are going to private Jewish schools,” she said. “Why not bring that community under the umbrella of public educa- tion, we’re losing them.” At the meeting, after she mo- tioned for public meetings, Trustee Steffen said she “didn’t want to ap- pear to be beating up on the Catholic school board, we’re not.” Whitby Trustee Doug Ross, the board’s OPSBA representative, also favours the final option and supports the magnet concept. But he said it’s too early to go to the community. Trustee Ross would prefer to first ask board staff to look into the issue and see if magnet schools within the existing school board are possible and could be offered at no extra cost. “If it’s not feasible, why go for public consultation?” he asked. “If it is, the next step is to go for public consultation.” Trustee Ross said the Province’s controversial tax credit for private school parents could see students, and provincial funding, siphoned away from the public system to tiny schools that would not be able to offer students as many opportunities as the public system. And while the tax credit “accel- erated” the discussion about how education should be delivered, Trustee Ross said it began in earnest after a 1999 United Nations deci- sion. The UN upheld the view of Arieh Waldman, whose children at- tend a Jewish Day School in Toron- to. He argued Ontario’s system of subsidizing only one religious de- nomination went against Canada’s support of the International Covenant on Political and Civil Rights.

The Sierra Legal Defence Fund released a report this week based on Ministry of Envi- ronment data that showed water at both On- tario Power Generation’s (OPG) Pickering and Darlington plants failed the tests con- ducted by the company as part of ministry regulations. But a company spokesman said the pub- lic does not need to worry its health was im- pacted. “OPG doesn’t believe there were any health concerns from these discharges. They dealt with a minor volume of water in process systems” within the plant, said John Earl, OPG spokesman. There were 58 violations of toxicity tests at the Darlington plant and 27 at the Picker- ing plant in 1999, said Sierra’s Dr. Elaine MacDonald. The two plants had the most vi- olations for failure of the toxicity test of any industry in the province that year, she said. However, Dr. MacDonald added that doesn’t necessarily classify them as the worst polluters in the province, noting, “There were many ahead of them for overall violations.” Dr. MacDonald said the toxicity in the nuclear plant tests were not related to ra- dioactive materials. However, the environ- mental group cannot specifically identify what toxins were in the water because the ministry’s data does not detail that, she said. To comply with ministry regulations, the company must undertake the water tests on a regular basis, said Mr. Earl. He stressed the tested water came from internal “process sumps” through the plants, not directly from Lake Ontario. He said last year Darlington conducted approximately 20,000 such tests on water systems through the plants. “There are not large volumes being dis- charged into the lake,” he said, noting the water was placed through a water treatment process following testing and prior to dis- charge into the lake. The test involves placing young trout and water fleas into sample water for a specific period of time, laid out by ministry guide- lines. “It’s a pass or fail based on a 50-per cent survival rate” of the fish and fleas, he said. The toxicity could have come from a number of sources, including chlorine used in the plants’ intake pipes, used to kill zebra mussels. The company has been working with the ministry to rid the plants of the trou- blesome organisms, which come into the plants’systems with lake water, he said. Mr. Earl noted the company has worked to add new systems at the plants to correct the toxicity problem at both plants. Dr. MacDonald said she is encouraged the company has worked to resolve the prob- lem. Pickering Volkswagen Inc.

We’re at durhamregion.com Nuclear waste here to stay? Local mayors call for a say in federal legislation BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Pickering and Clarington could be forced to permanently store nuclear waste under new federal legislation. The mayors of the mu- nicipalities said they have serious concerns if the waste is left on site, adding they were not even consult- ed by federal officials. “If Kincardine had not alerted Clarington to this legislation it would have been passed before we found out,” said Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who added he’s very concerned the municipalities involved were not informed by local federal representatives of Bill C-27, expected to re- ceive final reading Nov. 20. “This has caught all the nu- clear communities by sur- prise. It looks like it’s being rammed through very quickly.” Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs agreed with the concerns. “On-site storage was never envisioned,” he said. “In any of the planning for the facilities it was never considered that a permanent solution would be a local solution. It was always the premise it would be off- site.” The legislation proposes the nuclear industry, includ- ing Ontario Power Genera- tion, consider three options for permanent storage of the waste: geological burial in the Canadian Shield, a cen- tral off-site facility, or per- manent on-site storage at the generating stations. Durham MP Alex Shep- herd said the municipalities have a right to be concerned about the legislation and the proposal for on-site storage but does not feel the onus is on the MPs to inform the municipalities. “There is a multiplicity of legislation that affects Durham,” said the MP, not- ing there is cruelty to ani- mal legislation coming up and he questioned if his constituents wouldn’t care more about that. Bill C-27 “has been sitting here for half a year. Is that the re- sponsibility of a federal member of parliament?” he asked. Mr. Shepherd said he has discussed the issue on be- half of his riding during caucus sessions. “I think it is a stop-gap measure and I raised that concern,” said the MP, adding in his opinion the waste should be stored in the Canadian Shield. Mayor Mutton said the two mayors and the mayor of Kincardine (where the Bruce generating station is located) will make a delega- tion before a standing com- mittee in Ottawa Thursday. “Our goal is to change the legislation as far as membership on the board, compensation for the mu- nicipalities and identifying the municipalities as a stakeholder,” said Mayor Mutton. However, Mr. Shepherd said he does not feel Clar- ington or Pickering should be compensated if the stor- age does remain on-site. “If we look at the eco- nomic facts, the reality is if you take the pure cost of Darlington, the compensa- tion to Clarington has been tremendous. Money was spent there, jobs were creat- ed there,” he said. Irene Kock of the Sierra Club of Canada said her or- ganization has concerns with the bill. Primarily, is the fact it is industry mem- bers who will form the com- mittee reviewing site selec- tion over the next three years and making final rec- ommendations for the gov- ernment’s consideration. A commission created in the mid-1990s to examine the issue specifically rec- ommended an arm’s-length committee determine the final disposal method, she said. John Earl, a spokesman for Ontario Power Genera- tion, pointed out that ulti- mately it will be the federal government that makes the decision on how and where the waste is stored. “We anticipate this will be a very open process in terms of public input,” he said.

While on a trip to Washington, he and his family stopped off at the Pentagon to see the destruction from Sept. 11's terrorist attacks. It was "a pile of rubble" but enough to take the 82-year-old back to the Belgian border and the jun- gles of Burma, when he was a young gunner for the British Second Division fac- ing off against the German and Japanese forces. "I was hoping in my time not to see another one," says the Manchester resident. "I hope this war is over be- fore it gets up to the kids. My one grandson just had his 20th birthday last month. I have another grandson. He's 22. "But I guess my younger brother was 17 and I was 19 when we joined the army." Today's youth know nothing of war, says Mr. Franks, who plans to bring home the message behind Re- membrance Day for a local scouts troupe this month. The only Dunkirk veteran at Port Perry's Royal Canadian Legion Branch 419, he usually brings along his steel army helmet for just such an occasion. "I ask them how they would have liked to wear that for 24 hours a day or to have used it for a pillow," says the vet. "I try and get them to realize what was done during the war, if it wasn't done, they most likely wouldn't be here today." Mr. Franks finds it difficult to fully describe the impacts of war. He only started talking about his ex- perience with family after the death of his wife six years ago. "I didn't mind talking about the good things but not the gory things," he adds. He remembers struggling with dysentery and malaria, some of the reactions of which he still feels today. "Sometimes you wouldn't take your clothes off in a week. You got so used to wearing socks and boots, they would feel like a part of you," he adds. The "good things" were "you met people from all walks of life and you get to see so many things", says Mr. Franks, who completed missions in France, England, India, Arakan, Kohima-Assam and finally Burma before the end of the war. Armed service teaches discipline and Mr. Franks says that's why he wouldn't discourage any of his chil- dren or grandchildren from joining the army today. It's the reason his own father, who served in both the Boer War and First World War, did- n't discourage him and his five brothers. But he admits he finds aspects of this new war on terrorism scary, es- pecially anthrax, and fears it may make its way to Canada soon. Mr. Franks also sympathizes with the challenges of ground troops in Afghanistan. "Bin Laden is so slippery. He's in the mountains, he's moving place to place," he adds. Local veterans have been follow- ing the events of Sept. 11 and the war on terrorism very closely. In fact, many Legion branches report their televisions have been set to news stations a lot this fall. "There was a feeling of anger and sympathy for the people hit," ex- plains Dave Barkwell, poppy chair- man for Whitby's Branch 112. "They aren't saying too much but they're upset with the way things are going. They want to know how peo- ple could get away with stuff like that and they hope the United States press on through the United Na- tions." But it hasn't made vets question the meaning of what they went through 60 years ago, says Rory Thompson, president of Branch 419 in Port Perry. "Most of them still feel they did it for a real cause," he adds. While some Legions are quick to point out Remembrance Day falls exactly two months to the day of the attacks, most aren't acknowledging the coincidence but instead sticking to tradition. "I think we'd like to keep things on a low profile because it may give some vets flashbacks," explains Barb Doupe, Port Perry's poppy co- chairman. But she points out this year's poppy campaign may be even more crucial because there will be servicemen and women from the war on terrorism, who will need poppy funds down the road. In Oshawa, Branch 43 is already starting to see a difference in the number of wreaths being ordered for their Remembrance Ceremonies. Based on early orders, poppy chair- man Marilyn Roach says she ex- pects about twice as many to be laid at the Memorial Park Cenotaph this year. "People are more aware of what is going this year," she adds. That's what members of the Uxbridge branch are hoping. While they aren't "going out of their way" to point to Sept. 11, poppy chairman Blair Kelly says he expects the sub- ject will be just what they need to impress the importance of remem- bering past sacrifices when they visit local schools. "Children and younger adults, when they look at veterans, they see old war-mongers," he explains. "But some of these fellas could be them and today the world is not different than it was in 1939 or 1914." DURHAM – Manchester resident Doug Franks with a photo- graph of himself taken in uniform during the Second World War. Reminders of wars lurk in Sept. 11 attacks ‘I try to get them to realize what was done during the war; if it wasn’t done, they most likely wouldn’t be here today.’ Doug Franks Dunkirk veteran PICKERING —The local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion wants area residents to remember those who gave their lives fighting for our freedom. Branch 606 in Pickering has two events planned to honour Remembrance Day, beginning with its annual dinner and dance this Saturday, Nov. 10 at the le- gion, 1555 Bayly St.The evening begins with cocktails at 5 p.m., followed by dinner at 6 p.m. and a DJ and dancing throughout the evening. Tickets are available for $8 from the bar at the legion or by calling 905-839-2990. The legion’s Remembrance Day parade and service go Sun- day morning. Legionnaires, veterans, and the public will meet at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Road, at 10 a.m. Nov. 11 and then parade across to the cenotaph behind Pickering City Hall at 10:30 a.m. Representatives from the le- gion and local war veterans will speak during the service at the cenotaph, which begins at 11 a.m. Everyone is invited back to the legion for hot dogs and hot chocolate following the service. The legion’s poppy drive also continues until Saturday. Branch 606 first vice-presi- dent Wayne Aston said with all the attention paid to the program following the Pickering Library Board’s decision, and subse- quent reversal, to ban poppy sales on library property, this year’s donations are looking up. “We had a very good year last year,” he said. “But, by Friday (last week) we were already four or five thousand dollars ahead of last year’s total at this time.” Ajax legion will not forget... AJAX —There will be plenty of opportunities to remember those who gave the ultimate sac- rifice for the freedoms we hold dear.

Remembering in Ajax and Pickering CARL FERENCZ/ News Advertiser photo NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, November 9, 2001 PAGE 19 The following are the new movie releas- es being screened at cinemas in Ajax and Pickering this weekend: SHALLOW HAL Starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Jack Black, Jason Alexander, Rene Kirby. Directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly. Throughout history, few concepts have been pondered as much as the nature of beauty. Philosophers, poets, scientists, and the- ologists have contemplated and been in- spired by its many forms and mysteries. Some find it in the wonders of nature, oth- ers in a simple, enigmatic smile. There are even those who have travelled to the ends of the Earth and beyond in search of beau- ty. Then there’s Hal Larsen, the ultimate shallow guy. Hal finds beauty only in supermodels and centrefolds. The first thing he looks for in a woman is, well, looks. Hal won’t even consider dating someone with a less- than-perfect body, smile and sense of style. But after an impromptu hypnosis by self-help guru Tony Robbins, Hal’s view of women makes a 180-degree turn — he now sees their true inner beauty. Enter Rosemary (Paltrow), an overweight Peace Corps volunteer. Hal, envisioning Rosemary’s kindness and humour as female physical nirvana, is instantly smitten and an idyllic romance begins. When the spell is broken, Hal must face an unrecognizable Rosemary and learn one of life’s most important lessons. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Fa- mous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Pickering Town Centre). HEIST Starring Gene Hackman, Rebecca Pid- geon, Sam Rockwell, Danny DeVito, Delroy Lindo, Ricky Jay. Directed by David Mamet. Joe Moore (Hackman) has a beautiful young wife, money owed to him, and a job he loves. He’s a thief. His job goes sour when he gets caught on security camera tape. His fence, Bergman (DeVito) reneges on the money he’s owed, and his wife (Pidgeon) may be betraying him with the fence’s young lieutenant (Rockwell). Moore and his partner, Bobby Blane (Lindo) and their utility man, Pinky Pincus (Jay) find themselves broke, betrayed, and blackmailed. Moore is forced to commit his crew to do Bergman’s ‘last big job’. Will Bergman shop Moore to the po- lice? Will Moore’s wife trade him in for a younger model? Will Blane and Pincus cut their losses and get out? Who is to be be- lieved, who is to be betrayed? Won’t some- one who has lied once lie again? Who’s going to walk away smiling, and who’s not going to walk at all? Answer: Love makes the world go round. Love of gold.

One of the most popular features of our anniversary celebrations has been the 99 cent HAMBURGER. How about a 99 cent CHEESEBURGER. How about a 99 cent DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER! Beginning Friday November 5 to Friday November 30 we will put our regular DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER (the same size year in and year out, it won’t be smaller just for the sale, think about that) on sale for only 99 cents with every double cheeseburger you purchase at the regular price.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, November 9, 2001 PAGE 21 A/P Home Sweet HomeHome Sweet Home ADVERTISING FEATURE Invest in your Foundation and Repair Those Leaks Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons has been successfully repairing leaking basements for over 24 years and although he says, “I’m still learning,” he estimates he has been in close to 15,000 homes and seen virtually every possible leaking situa- tion one can imagine. Gordon says, “basically, the amount of years I’ve been in this business has forced me to develop hundreds of differ- ent techniques to successfully solve every situation I’ve encountered”. He also says that “having an extensive background in specialty prod- ucts for concrete, I know which products to use and which ones really work, that’s why I can offer a 10 year full guarantee on all the work I do”. Gordon prides his com- pany on fast, neat and effi- cient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshoot- ing ability. “I like to profes- sionally solve problems at the least most reasonable cost to the customer. Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles but that is because it is absolutely necessary. What I won’t do is quote on an expensive excavation type repair when I know a simple little interior injection will solve the problem. Give me a solid concrete foundation and 90% of the time I can inject the problem with polyurethane by standing on the inside and pumping right through the wall. Block foundations should be repaired from the outside but I try to isolate the problem within 10-15 ft. to minimize the excavation nec- essary.” Gordon says “home owners should invest in their foundations in much the same way they invest in their roofs. Water corrodes and very quickly. The same way a leak in your roof starts corroding the wooden rafters, a leak through your foundation starts to undermine the very integrity of your home. People tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and possibly save yourself a for- tune.” Gordon goes on to say that “no job is too big or too small and I can promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.” For a free professional evaluation call Gordon at 905-686-6880. 905-686-6880 our expert trouble shooting offers you the optimum repair at the best prices with a 10 YEAR FULL GUARANTEE FREE ESTIMATES LEAKING BASEMENTS Cement Block Foundations rubber membranes/sump pumps/weeping tiles FIX POTENTIAL LEAKS BEFORE RENOVATIONS FIX LEAKS NOW.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, November 9, 2001 PAGE 23 A/P ~ Design Answers ~ Covering Your Windows Problem: Our home has varying ceiling heights, angles, and half walls, this has resulted in some interest- ingly shaped windows. I am unsure how to bring cohe- siveness to the many unique shapes and how to cover some of the higher windows. Our main floor is an open concept and we like the day light but must cover the win- dows for privacy at night. W hat solutions can you offer? Solution:The concept of ‘thinking outside of the box’ has modern architec- ture offering up many possi- bilities for impressive home design. Where in the past, eight foot ceilings were the norm, today’s design rules are very loose. Ceiling heights can be anywhere from eight to 20 odd feet high. This type of spatial manipulation in contempo- rary architecture results in some exciting and beautiful windows. This new genera- tion of windows though a delight to behold are also quite a challenge to dress. Incorporating complemen- tary window treatments are always a factor when designing for open concept schemes; however, your situ- ation is further complicated by the many differing win- dow shapes, sizes and heights. Here are a few design answers to assist in solving your window cover- ing dilemmas: Treat your windows simply ~ with drapery pan- els or classic shutters ~ as over done dressing are costly and currently not a design trend. Select either the same fabric or from within the same color family for your differing windows shapes ~ and only vary the style of covering as needed to suit your functional require- ments. •Soaring windows, usually two stories high, are difficult to reach from floor level . With windows such as these the only safe and effec- tive way to create the combi- nation of natural light, and privacy options is a motor- ized window treatment. •Motorizing your win- dow treatment offers the advantage being able to operate hard to reach win- dows with a switch, sun acti- vated sensor or timers, or by a remote control transmitter. So get on the move - 21st century windows require 21st century window cover- ing solutions!

Eighteen awards were handed out Nov. 2 at the McLean Community Centre as part of the PineRidge Arts Council and Town of Ajax’s third annual juried art exhibition. John Leonard, an internationally acclaimed artist, teacher and member of the Royal Canadian Academy, evaluated 130 entries in his role as juror. Oshawa artist Ray Partridge’s ‘Six Sunny Gourds’ topped the evening as the ‘best in show’ award winner in the adult category. The ‘mayor’s’ award’ went to an- other Oshawa artist, Bob Thackeray. Awards of excellence in the adult cate- gory were handed out to Kim Burns of Os- hawa, Gail George of Unionville, Marilyn Beaven Smith of Pickering and Tim Packer of Whitby. Honourable mentions went to Barry Bolton, Angela Hennessey and An- drea Macdonald, all of Cannington, Martin Brown of Pickering, Callie Gray of Port Perry, Shirley Heard of Oshawa, and Pat McCauley of Ajax. Blythe George, of Ajax, won ‘best in show’ in the youth division with ‘Algo- nquin Memories’. The ‘mayor’s award’ in the youth category was captured by Jessen Sheridan, also of Ajax. Linda Moore and Randy McVeigh, both of Ajax, were awards of excellence recipi- ents. PineRidge Art Council’s visual arts co- ordinator April Polak noted the evening was a shining success. She added the new-look McLean centre served as a fine hosting venue. “We are pleased with the recent addition to the community centre as it allowed us to hang 59 original pieces of our members and residents of Durham. We are fortunate to partner with the Town of Ajax and commu- nity-minded sponsors, which enable us to promote the talent of local artists.” The art show and sale continue at the centre, 95 Magill Dr., at Westney Road in Ajax, until Dec. 2. Admission is free. Visitors to the McLean Community Centre in Ajax examine some of the entries in the PineRidge Arts Council and Town of Ajax’s juried art show. It runs until Dec. 2.

He has recorded six solo albums, re- ceived four Juno nominations and has al- most 20 years of experience in club, the- atre, and festival circuit performances.

In 1996 they released their debut album called ‘High Or Hurtin’ which received a Juno nomination in 1997 for Best Roots and Traditional Group.

The keynote speaker is Sarah Mc- Donald, a vice-principal at Pickering High School, and she’ll talk at 10 a.m. Ms. Mc- Donald will discuss the changing face of the commu- nity and identify some of the questions teachers may have, such as how they can provide all students with equal oppor- tunities. Other topics include how to provide a positive learning experience, how teachers evaluate and critique avail- able resources, and how edu- cators examine teaching practices. The workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the centre is at Westney Road North and Magill Drive. The committee can be reached via its voice mailbox at 905-619-2529, ext. 366, or at its Web site at www.ajaxracerelations.ca.

The assessment will be a waste of taxpayers’ dollars if Canada is not successful in its bid to host the $12-billion international energy project in Clarington, said Irene Kock, a researcher with the environmental watchdog group, in a recent presenta- tion to Clarington council. “We are suggesting this may be premature,” she told councillors, noting the as- sessment is being used as a “marketing tool” by the In- ternational Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Canada board in its bid to win the project and will be a waste of money if the bid loses. But ITER director, Dr. Murray Stewart, suggested it is important for the EA to go forward as early as possible so any concerns of the com- munity can be addressed in the planning stage of the pro- ject, which will proceed very quickly if Canada wins the bid. “One of the foundations of the Canadian environmen- tal assessment process is that it should be used as a plan- ning tool for projects,” Dr. Stewart stated. “This can only be effectively done if the environmental assess- ment process is started early in the project planning stage.” The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has begun the environmental assessment on the proposed facility, a collaboration be- tween the European Union, Japan, Russia and Canada. The host facility will likely be announced next spring. Ms. Kock noted the Sierra Club has a number of con- cerns about the project, in- cluding the level of environ- mental assessment chosen by the CNSC. The regulator selected a screening level assessment as opposed to a more compre- hensive assessment. Ms. Kock suggested to council this isn’t deep enough in scope to properly gauge the potential environmental and economic impacts of the pro- ject. But Dr. Stewart suggested any impact from ITER would not be significant enough to meet the warrants for a comprehensive study, which is why the regulator chose to proceed with a screening level assessment. Ms. Kock also said more examination is required on the effect of the large mag- nets used in the research and their effect on workers at the site. The large magnets are contained within an encase- ment and background mag- netic activity is undetectable beyond 300 metres, said Dr. Stewart, who added there is no health issue related to the magnetic field. Other concerns Ms. Kock wants the EA to address in- clude: • The impact on electrici- ty ratepayers due to the need for large amounts of electric- ity for the project; • The economic impact on Durham Region when the project is decommissioned in 30 years; and • The cost to taxpayers to cover the Ontario govern- ment’s 30-year, $300 million commitment to the project in addition to the contribution of land and tritium by On- tario Power Generation. “The EA will respond to every single issue,” Dr. Stew- art said.

Pesticide use reviewed by health officials BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s health depart- ment is reviewing the health effects of pesticides, such as those on lawns, be- fore determining if their use should be regulated. The Durham Region Health Department is cur- rently reviewing medical literature on the health ef- fects associated with pesti- cide use. It is also awaiting re- sults of a similar study by Toronto’s health depart- ment and will conduct a survey of Durham resi- dents this month to decide whether to recommend pesticide regulations with- in the Region, said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical officer of health. Municipal representa- tives, other regional de- partments, the Durham en- vironmental advisory com- mittee, and other commu- nity stakeholders, should hold a meeting in the new year to review the findings, the Durham health and so- cial services committee recommended last Thurs- day. “I am really pleased with the direction this is going in,” said Oshawa Re- gional Councillor Cathy Clarke. “I really like the holistic approach, the con- sultative approach. This means we can deal with it as a whole instead of piecemeal within each mu- nicipality.” Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Bren- ner said the studies will “give each municipality a better understanding” of the issue. Pesticide control is in the jurisdiction of the local municipalities to en- force, he noted. “The Quebec Supreme Court ruled it was OK for municipalities to form by- laws banning or regulating pesticides,” said committee chairman and Brock Coun- cillor Larry O’Connor. “(Regional) staff will work with area municipalities,” on regulations.

DURHAM —Durham College was evacuated Monday after experiencing its second chemical scare this year. The college’s Simcoe Street North campus in Os- hawa was evacuated and ventilated after two stu- dents reported having scratchy throats and a shortness of breath from being in the stairway of L, C, and D wings. Durham Regional Police officers attending the scene experienced the same symptoms. “The exact location of the chemical spill was never determined, but a similar incident happened back in April involving the same chemical, nitric acid,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham police spokesman. Nitric acid is a chemical used in the photo lab. Police are trying to de- termine whether the chemi- cal blew back through the ventilation system because of high winds or if some- one released it. Two students were taken to the hospital and treated for inhalation and five were treated at the scene.

Second effort puts Pickering skater in sectionals St. Mary advances to Ontario soccer finals with 2-0 win over McLaughlin PICKERING —The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs senior boys’ soccer team saved its best ef- fort for when it mattered most. The Monarchs put it all to- gether in Wednesday’s Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) champi- onship game to defeat Os- hawa’s McLaughlin Trojans 2- 0 at Oshawa’s Civic Fields. St. Mary will advance to the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championship in St. Catharines next June. After a scoreless first half, Chris Deabreu converted a penalty shot to put the Mon- archs on the path to victory. Later in the half, Jerone Mills crossed a ball into the penalty area to Cory Scopel who tipped the ball past the McLaughlin keeper for an in- surance marker. Monarchs’ head coach An- drew McLaughlin said the club peaked in the final. “For me, it was the first time the team put together everything at the same time. Every single player con- tributed in a positive way. As a team, it was a phenomenal ef- fort,” he said. “From the start of the year, everyone at the school knew that we had a skilled team. But, sometimes it kind of takes a while to have everyone come together as a team.” The Monarchs ended the LOSSA regular season with a 5-0-2 mark, first in their divi- sion. In the quarter-finals, St. Mary and the Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School Pumas played to a 1-1 draw in regulation time. The game proceeded to penalty shots, with St. Mary outscoring the Pumas 4-3. In the semifinals, the Mon- archs won handily over Os- hawa’s O’Neill Collegiate Redmen 5-2. John Jonke and Nick Deabreu each scored twice and Nick Viera added a single goal against O’Neill. McLaughlin said it will be a “big challenge” keeping the team together until represent- ing the Durham area at the OFSAA championships. The St. Mary team, however, will play a series of indoor tourna- ments and work out indoors during the winter months in preparation.

Over the past 54 years, more than 100 Canadians gave their lives in the line of duty, not including the 516 soldiers who perished during the Korean War (1950-1953). For over a year, Canada has had its own Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After an initial ceremony held at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France, the remains of an unknown Canadian soldier, who died during the First World War, were repatriated to Canada. On May 28, 2000, this solder was buried at the foot of the National War Memorial in Ottawa in a special tomb. In addition to representing and honouring all the Canadian men and women who sacrificed their lives, this unknown soldier pays tribute to all the men and women who could one day die while protecting their country. In early November, members of the Canadian Royal Legion will be scattered across the country, selling lapel poppies, the symbol of remembrance of all the men and women who sacrificed their lives in order to protect our right to freedom. This November 11, wear the poppy proudly and observe two minutes of silence for these heroes. flowers after the battles. In Canada, the poppy was officially adopted in 1921 by the First World War Veteran’s Association. Wearing a poppy is a way of remembering those soldiers and demonstrating our pride in being Canadian. Canadians also have the National War Memorial, which is located in Confederation Square in downtown Ottawa. This work of art honours all the men and women who bravely gave their lives for our country. Remembrance Day is an important part of the work undertaken by the Canadian Royal Legion. By contributing to its poppy campaign, you will be supporting veterans, former service members and those who are in their care.

Wearing a red poppy on this day is a sign of respect and compassion for these men and women, as well as for those soldiers who are still alive today. Wearing a poppy is a way of saying: “I remember”.

We’re finally starting lives of our own -- beginning our careers, entering relationships, building our families -- and we’re not looking for any more burdens or responsibilities. “That’s how I saw religion, until I learned more about Unitarian Universalism. Here was a religion that gave me room to breathe. They offer services that are relevant to my life. Their philosophy encourages me to explore my inner spirituality. And their belief in activism and social justice inspires me to look outward. “Sure, any religion is something of a commitment. But until I discovere d Unitarian Universalism, I never knew a commitment could be liberating.” The Unitarian Universalists Celebrate The True Meaning of Christmas.
