Durham war ns of tax hikes in 2003 Numbers also point to successive years of increases See SEATON page 5 Region has questions on Pickering land plan Councillors seek clarification on Seaton property swap BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —A set of draft principles guiding the Seaton land swap need further clarification in two key areas — the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve and the role of local planning in the exchange. That’s the message Durham Re- gion councillors are sending to the Province following a special tri- committee meeting Wednesday morning. “We need to say to the Province, ‘We’re not ready on this BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —Homeowners could be faced with a four per cent hike on their regional taxes next year — if they’re lucky, that is. Looking into the future, six to eight per cent increas- es could be on the way for each of the next five years. Durham’s finance committee has asked staff to deter- mine what it will take to trim down a proposed six per cent hike in 2003 to four per cent. Approximately half can be attributed to increased police services costs. “I think it’s premature to hang our hat on six per cent,” said Oshawa Councillor John Gray, who chal- lenged staff to get to four per cent. He said he had been through enough budgets not to be worried by the six per cent figure, which is really a guideline for staff. Increases will be whittled down as the process moves forward, he said. “If we set the groundwork now for what our expecta- tions are, it makes it easier,” he said, adding, “Show us what we have to do to get down to two and two (for op- erations and police).” Under a four per cent increase, a homeowner with a property assessed at $200,000 would pay an extra $56 next year as compared to an additional $84 under the six per cent increase. A wish list for 2003 from the Region’s departments, the police services board and conservation authorities originally forecasted an 11 per cent tax increase would be needed. Under the six per cent scenario, the overall increase would work out to about three per cent for policing and three for regional operations. Those guidelines take into account two per cent growth in assessment.

OPEN TIL 4 AM Ajax and Pickering News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Tw o West Nile cases suspected in Durham Health department investigates symptoms in two residents DURHAM —Durham health officials are investigating two po- tential cases of people suffering from West Nile virus (WNV). An Ajax resident and another from Whitby may have had the potentially deadly virus. Symp- toms were identified in August and early September and the two are undergoing testing. “Nothing has been confirmed in Durham. What we have is an investigation,” said Durham Re- gion health department spokesman Glendene Collins. The two went for medical at- tention because they were feeling ill, she said. “Testing for WNV in humans is complicated and takes several weeks for results to be con- firmed,” said associate medical officer of health Dr. Donna Reynolds. All testing in humans is done at a provincial public health labo- ratory and at the federal Health Canada lab in Winnipeg. There have been 26 confirmed cases and 45 probable cases re- ported by 10 health units in On- tario. “Unfortunately, with the rapid spread of this virus throughout Ontario, it was only a matter of time before people in Durham Region would be affected,” Dr. Reynolds said. “Reducing the risk of infec- tion by reducing mosquito popu- lations early in the year and avoiding mosquito bites are the best measures for protecting against West Nile virus.” The virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito, which gets it by feed- ing on infected birds. The virus can’t be transmitted from person to person or from bird to person directly. Most people infected show no symptoms or may develop a mild illness. The most serious cases may result in the rapid onset of severe headache, high fever, stiff neck, muscle weakness and disorienta- tion. Most people recover from the virus, but severe illness could re- sult in death, health officials have said. For more information, call the Durham health department’s en- vironmental health line at 905- 723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2188, or check the Internet We b site at www.region.durham.on.ca. DR. DONNA REYNOLDS ‘Testing...in humans is complicated.’ All possibilities need to be “flushed out”, said Pickering Councillor Mark Holland, espe- cially in getting the police budget down to a two per cent increase of the overall budget. He pointed out the police services board is asking for a 10 per cent increase in its funding for 2003, when other regional departments are just staying within inflation. “I’m not say- ing slash (the po- lice budget) but I think it’s reason- able to say ex- pectations need to be trimmed,” Coun. Holland said. “We need to meet the needs of the police in the community but not at the cost of every- thing else.” The bulk of the police ser- vices budget, which under the police request climbs from $91.1 million in 2002 to $100.7 million in 2003, is due to “annu- alization”, said Jim Clapp, com- missioner of fi- nance. He ex- plained a num- ber of police per- sonnel were hired last year to keep up with the Region’s growth and those new salaries along with inflationary costs for other wages amounts to about $5 mil- lion, he said. With regional operations kept to a three per cent overall in- crease, “there will be no room for new pro- grams and no room for growth in existing pro- grams,” said Mr. Clapp. Trimming it down to two per cent will be tough, he said, as most of the in- crease is needed to cover infla- tionary costs re- lated to wages under union agreements. Nor does the guideline take into account any impacts related to provincial re- assessment, provincial download- ing or new social housing capital, he said. In his projections, Mr. Clapp predicted Durham will continue to have tax increases of between six to eight per cent in each of the next five years. Regional taxes increased 5.9 per cent in 2001 and 3.5 per cent in 2002 and “there doesn’t appear to be a downward trend in the fu- ture”, he said. Finance staff point to anticipat- ed increases in police services, re- gional wages, and general infla- tionary pressures for the upward trend, as well as several risk fac- tors. It is still unknown just how much Durham will be affected in the future by social housing, GO Transit or current value assess- ment.

The Durham Catholic District School Board at Monday’s board meeting re- leased the results of its school facility survey. The Province requires boards to conduct annual surveys of its school build- ings, enlisting students, school community councils, teachers, non-teaching staff and principals to rate schools on their overall cleanliness, condition, comfort and safe- ty. A scale of 1 to 4 is used, with 1 representing ‘needs improvement’ and 4 repre- senting ‘excellent’. According to the board’s 2001/02 survey, the overall rating for its schools is 3.04, a ‘good’ mark and a high evaluation. Ninety-two per cent of responses were either good (78 per cent) or excel- lent (14 per cent). The board’s overall rating in 2000/01 was 2.97. The board’s numbers are better than the provincial av- erage, where 70 per cent of responses were good or ex- cellent last year. Topping the ratings list was All Saints Catholic Sec- ondary School in Whitby, a facility that opened last year, which received an overall 3.9 rating. Other schools at the top of the heap include Fa- ther Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School, also in Whitby, Holy Redeemer Catholic School in Pickering and St. Patrick Catholic School in Ajax, all of which received 3.6. The lowest rating, 1.8, went to St. Joseph Catholic School in Oshawa, one of the board’s oldest facilities. Also rated low were St. John the Evangelist Catholic School in Whitby (2.3), and St. Gre- gory and St. Bernadette Catholic schools, in Oshawa and Ajax, respectively, at 2.4. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 18, 2002 PAGE 5 P WILDBLUEBERRIES The Home of FLASH FROZEN fruit and vegetables, pies, cookie and muffin batters and meats.

Principle 6 designates the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve, just west of Seaton, as agricultural preserve in perpetu- ity. It has sparked controversy among the area’s farmers, who argue their rights as landowners are being infringed. Principle 3 (a) also refers to the preserve as part of a secondary plan for the development of north Pickering. The Province is in the process of swapping publicly owned lands in Seaton for privately owned lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge. It has appointed the North Pickering Land Exchange and Review Panel, led by former To ronto mayor David Crombie, to release a set of principles guiding the valuation, exchange and development of the Picker- ing lands. Municipalities have been asked to respond to the draft principles by Oct. 24. Members of the Region’s works, planning and finance committees generally agreed with most of the principles. But when it came to the two in ques- tion, Mayor Diamond said she needed more information on the history of the preserve and how it applies to the regional and local official plans as well as Pickering’s growth management study. “Being from outside of the immediate area”, Mayor Dia- mond said she was struggling to understand the long-standing is- sues surrounding Seaton and the agricultural preserve. Pickering Councillor Mark Holland urged members to sepa- rate the two. The sustainable de- velopment of Seaton is the most important issue, and the agricul- tural preserve a distraction creat- ed by the Province, he said. “Until we become focused on Seaton as the primary area of de- bate, we risk having a strong voice,” he added. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said there’s no separat- ing the two because the provin- cially-appointed panel is clearly overstepping its mandate in des- ignating privately owned lands. The principles, overall, are consistent with the Region’s goals but some of the recom- mended actions need clarifica- tion, said Alex Georgieff, com- missioner of planning. For instance, the Region needs to know the exact role of the fairness commissioner, who will be appointed to oversee the land exchange and ensure it is fair. The Region and Pickering need to be clearly defined as the primary planners of future devel- opment in Seaton, he said. And while infrastructure costs should be shared between all three levels of government, that arrangement needs to be clearly stated and issues of job creation and transportation high- lighted, Mr. Georgieff said. Durham Catholic schools get great grades SEATON from page 1 WAYNE ARTHURS No separating two related issues.

This awakening encour- ages people to pray in an uplifting manner, instead of fantasizing and acting on revenge and justice. The awakening is being chal- lenged by the threat of war and violence. To use brute force will only slow down or halt our perception, drive and ability to see a world where people live in harmony. I am not a scholar of any prestigious uni- versity, a philosopher, nor am I a major contributor to any particular social group or religion. I am a 25-year-old who has caught a glimpse of a world where people are aware of their intentions and life purposes. In short, I am a person who cares more about people and the environment than the materialistic world most of us were raised in. A world where we use prayer to uplift others is not only rewarding for individuals, but for the world as a whole. We need peo- ple who can help us to obtain the enlight- enment that so many of us desire. As hu- mans, we must realize we are not at a lull or plateau of our existence, but at the begin- ning of yet another peak. This one will bring us tremendous rewards. We as citizens of this and other countries are in fact the government. Our opinions, thoughts and prayers hold significant meaning and force.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 18, 2002 Looks like George W. Bush and the Americans are going to attack Iraq all right. ‘Bout time, eh? Kick some Sad- dam Hussein butt all right! And if those jerks at the United Nations try to hold them back I guess G.W. will just have to say to hell with the UN if it thinks it can get in the way of a just re- venge. Besides, who does the world community think it is to tell the Unit- ed States what to do? Not when G.W. has the world’s most potent arsenal of modern weaponry and most of the globe’s existing stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in his hip pocket. Truth be told, attacking Iraq is all about payback. Someone has to pay for 9/11. And if the U.S. can’t get Osama, well, Saddam is the next best thing. Hell, they’ve been trying to get him for the last decade — mostly by killing off as many as two million Iraqi children through sanctions de- signed to lead to his ouster. You know, UNICEF officials estimated in 2000 that 5,000 to 6,000 Iraqi children were dying each month due to the sanc- tions. That’s equivalent to a World Tr ade towers-scale calamity — in a nation of only 18 million — every month for the past decade or more. Of course, reality-proof North American media pays little attention to the suffering of others around the world. At least, not if they live in countries that have been demonized by successive jingoistic U.S. adminis- trations. Truth be told, most Americans — and Canadians — probably want the U.S. to attack Iraq. Saddam Hussein is clearly the kind of unpleasant rogue world leader that would invade anoth- er country if he had the weapons to do so. And besides, an attack on Iraq will make great TV just when ‘Survivor’is wrapping up. Anyway, who even cares that U.S. foreign policy — military, political and economic — has worsened condi- tions for most of the world’s poor over the last 20 years or so. Who even thinks about the fact the price of our prosperity and comfort is increasingly based on the economic enslavement of millions around the world in the service of ‘globalization’? Who could care less that North Americans, who make up only five per cent of the world’s population, use about a third of its resources? Meanwhile, one-fifth of the world’s population lives in dire poverty, slowly dying of hunger and disease. Hell, when you think about it, the real surprise about 9/11 is that some- thing like it didn’t happen a lot soon- er. And that it doesn’t happen every day. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com It’s surprising 9/11-type tragedies don’t happen daily The long and winding road to a Durham budget next spring starts with the numbers six and eight. In a projection by finance commissioner Jim Clapp, he be- lieves taxpayers will be hit with annual increases of between six and eight per cent on the regional portion of their property tax bill in each of the next five years. Before you break out in a cold sweat, consider original re- quests for regional funds next year would mandate a tax in- crease of 11 per cent. That’s far too high according to Oshawa Councillor John Gray, Region finance committee chairman, who said “I think it’s premature to hang our hat on six per cent.” He’s hopeful of hitting a target of “just” four per cent. It was only a few years ago that the Region was able to promise zero per cent increases year after year. Those days are long gone however, largely thanks to the Durham Regional Po- lice Service. As always, the Region’s budget woes start with police de- mands. The early request has our boys and girls in black ask- ing for an extraordinary nine-figure amount, just over $100 million for 2003. That’s up from $91.1 million this year, $82.4 million in 2001 and $72.1 million in 2000. The police budget has climbed 30 per cent in only three years. Chief Kevin McAlpine has successfully convinced the po- lice services board and council the increases are vital to the op- eration of his department. He has skilfully used statistics from other police forces combined with regulations mandated by Queen’s Park to bring Durham’s manpower, equipment and technology up to levels equal to the best Ontario has to offer. Fair enough. No doubt Durham was behind in staffing and equipment levels in the past and the chief has done his job to make up the difference. But the latest increase surely fills the gap. It’s only reasonable the police learn to live within the ways and means with which all other departments at the Re- gion cope. As Pickering Councillor Mark Holland said, “I’m not say- ing slash (the police services budget) but I think it’s reasonable to say expectations need to be trimmed. We need to meet the needs of the police in the community but not at the cost of everything else.” We can’t afford to stifle growth and need year after year in all other departments just to please the police. Our roads, tran- sit systems, seniors’ homes and regional health services need investment too. An ever-escalating police budget comes with the price tag of denying other vital services. We can’t continue to fund po- lice services at the level requested.

OVERWEIGHT? FREQUENT BATHROOM TRIPS? High school challenges no problem for this group DURHAM —The high school curriculum wasn’t so tough for 281 Durham Catholic District School Board graduating students, Ontario scholars who achieved a high school average of 80 per cent or better in the 2001/02 school year. Katherine Rudzinski, a Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School student, sported the best overall aver- age, a stunning 97.67 per cent. Hot on her heels was Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School student Fiona Lai’s 97.17 per cent. The third highest average was Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School pupil Adam Puzio’s 96.7 per cent. Dwyer (Oshawa) had 86 Ontario scholars, St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School in Pickering 64, Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax 53, and Austin (Whitby) and Monsignor Pereyma (Oshawa) each had 39. Almost perfect scores deliver honours to Catholic students‘The game is afoot’ in ITER competition Final push for project is on now LY ONS, FRANCE ––On June 6, when three more bids were introduced to compete with Canada’s offering for the site of a $12-billion fusion en- ergy research facility, the head of Iter Canada said, “the game is afoot.” Dr. Murray Stewart’s pre- diction has certainly been borne out at the international fusion conference in Lyons, France continuing until Satur- day. This time around, the bi-an- nual conference has a different flavour from those in the past as politicians and government bureaucrats from the candidate countries join what would nor- mally be a purely academic and scientific exercise. Here, government officials from Canada, Clarington Mayor John Mutton and Re- gional Chairman Roger An- derson along with staff from the Region, Clarington and Iter Canada, are joined by their counterparts from Spain, France and Japan. They’re all there for the same purpose, to make the sale. Subtlety is a thing of the past as the international dele- gates get closer to the final site selection in the first half of next year. Polite politics are now giving way to competitive tactics not unlike the differ- ence between regular season play and the Stanley Cup play- offs. The game may be the same but the stakes are much greater. France took advantage of home territory, orchestrating a visit by the Minister of Re- search, who delivered a strong message that this is a country whose government is fully supportive of the ITER project and the research behind it. France, Spain and Japan all have strong, government-fund- ed fusion research facilities, and as they reported on their latest findings, each in turn used the chance to promote their ITER bid. Canada, where the federal government terminated a fu- sion research project five years ago, had to answer some pointed questions from dele- gates who wanted to know if the feds are really committed to this project. While I was standing in the registration line before the conference had even begun, I was offered the unsolicited opinion the perception is our federal government support is weak and that is a problem for our bid. Questions on where our feds stand on ITER was to be a recurring theme throughout our time in Lyon. As my check-in friend put it, it is more a question of a “moral commitment” than a financial one. Clearly it was important to have our local politicians at the conference, delivering the message Durham wants ITER but one had the feeling the federal representatives are going to have to raise their voices another octave to help drown out the memories of that dismantled fusion project. Te chnically, culturally and economically, Clarington is a great site and the decision- makers know it. But to beat the other three very attractive alternatives, perhaps the feds must heal old wounds and make the international part- ners feel good about making Canada their choice.

Not all makes/models. Diesel engine not included Fo r-profit health care slammed by coalition Campaign says it’s less effective, more expensive than current system BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM ––The cam- paign against for-profit health care rolled into Oshawa last week armed with statistics about the increased incidence of death in for-profit hospitals and a warning about the future of Lakeridge Health Uxbridge. Maude Barlow, national chairman of the Council of Canadians, and her band of health-care experts are travel- ling throughout the province on a 22-city tour over the next three months spreading the message for-profit health care is the wrong answer to the woes of Canada’s current sys- tem. Referring to a McMaster University study on profit ver- sus non-profit health care, campaign supporters said there is a two per cent higher risk of death among adults and a nine per cent higher risk of death among infants in for-profit hospitals resulting in 2,200 more lives lost every year. “Profit is not the cure,” Ms. Barlow said. “We have to make a clear choice of health care over tax cuts.” In order to pay for the in- creasing costs of the publicly funded health care system, Ms. Barlow and her colleagues ad- vocate better management of public funds, a more equitable tax system, increasing the amount of private practitioners in all communities to lessen the load on hospitals, and re- working the patent monopoly many prescription drug compa- nies enjoy, allowing generic drug makers into the market therefore lowering the cost of the drugs. Pointing to statistics outlin- ing total health care spending was $3,298 per person in Canada and $7,000 per person in the U.S., campaign support- ers also said our not-for-profit system has remained less cost- ly and provided an even higher level of care than the privately run, for-profit system used by Americans. “Do you really think taking a quarter out of every dollar for profit isn’t going to affect care?” asked economist Armine Yalnizyan. “What we really need to do is allocate the public money more effective- ly.” Campaign supporters said they are also very concerned about the future of the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital here in Durham Region. The Uxbridge Cottage Hos- pital Foundation and Lak- eridge Health are currently awaiting Ontario Ministry of Health approval on a plan to build a facility twice the size of the existing hospital. A private company would build and own the hospital and Lakeridge Health would enter into a 25- year lease agreement to use the facility. Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hos- pital Unions/CUPE, says pub- lic-private partnerships like this one, which the Province has already approved in Ot- tawa and Brampton, are much more costly than building hos- pitals publicly. British studies done on sim- ilar public-private partnerships on the other side of the Atlantic show these hospitals may cost as much as 73 per cent more over the long haul. Mr. Hurley said the studies also show for-profit hospitals end up with 30 per cent fewer beds, eight per cent fewer doc- tors and 14 per cent fewer nurses than publicly owned and operated facilities. “Staffing levels at Lak- eridge hospitals are already stressed with all the local pop- ulation growth and potential staff cuts looming,” he added. “The public-private partner- ship in Uxbridge should be of great concern to the people in the commu- nity.” Bette Hodgins, chief operating of- ficer at Lakeridge Health Uxbridge, responded to the campaign’s claims in an interview Thursday, and while she admitted under the proposed plan the hospital will cost more over the long run, she said without private fi- nancing the hospital would have little chance of being built at all. “It’s like buying a house. Most people don’t have the full cost of the house in dollars so they get a mort- gage. This is like a mortgage,” she ex- plained. “The Province did a survey and found capital construction needs for hospitals in Ontario exceeded $7 billion with another $2 billion in computer equipment needs. The Province has identified that we need to locate alternative ways to fund con- struction.” DURHAM ––George Sebris says this past weekend in New York City featured one of the most “powerful and emotional” events he’s been part of in his more than 30 years as an Oshawa firefighter. “I’ve been to services before, but this was really something, it was just overwhelming,” said the Oshawa Fire Services Platoon Chief, who, along with firefighters from across Durham Region, attended a memorial Saturday in New York City for the 352 firefight- ers who died on Sept. 11, 2001. “The magnitude of it, the size, they shut down downtown New York and that was something else.” It is estimated more than 125,000 firefighters from across the globe at- tended the memorial, which included a uniformed parade on the streets of New York and a service with the fami- lies of the fallen firefighters at Madi- son Square Garden. Mr. Sebris said he met firefighters from as far away as England, Scotland, all across Canada and the United States. “You name it - they were there,” he said. “We’re really all one big family that supports each other.” Along with the service, Mr. Sebris said he and other Durham firefighters visited fire stations across the city that had lost all or parts of their crews in the terrorist attacks. The Durham contingent also made its way down to ground zero. “That was really emotional,” he ex- plained. “To see what could happen, the amount of people lost, it’s unbe- lievable something like this could ever happen.” Firefighters from Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington at- tended the memorial.

Ajax wants to be in one riding Population growth spurs changes to federal boundaries AJAX —A redrawing of the federal electoral boundaries should end with all of Ajax within a single riding, say Town councillors. “I don’t know if Ajax has been particularly well served by being cut in half. I’d like to see Ajax in one riding,” said Mayor Steve Parish at Ajax council’s general government committee meeting. To address population growth, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission is changing the configuration of federal ridings. The Province mirrors the federal ridings, so a change federally would also mean a change provincially. The commission is propos- ing to create the riding of Ajax- Pickering, which would include all of Ajax and Pickering south of the Third Concession and east of Dixie Road. The riding would have a population of about 111,000 people. Currently,Ajax is in two rid- ings, separated along Hwy. 2. North of the highway, it’s Pick- ering-Ajax-Uxbridge Riding and south is Whitby-Ajax. The committee approved Mayor Parish’s recommenda- tion that the proposal of Ajax- Pickering be endorsed or “any- thing with Ajax as one”. Other changes include Pick- ering-Durham, comprising the remainder of Pickering and all of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock townships. The riding of Whitby-Os- hawa would include all of Whitby and a portion of north Oshawa. The commission holds a public meeting Friday, Nov. 8 in Whitby at 9:30 a.m. at Durham Region headquarters, Rossland Road and Garden Street.

Earlier this year, the Durham Catholic District School Board filed a claim with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) for roughly $840,000. It followed a court case vic- tory for Quebec school boards that successfully argued boards should receive a 100 per cent rebate on transporta- tion services they provide, not the 68 per cent the Excise Tax Act permits. After the court ruling, the board petitioned the support of local MPs to object to the fed- eral government’s proposal to retroactively amend the act, in effect denying Canadian school boards an estimated $70 million. A recent letter from the CCRA denied the board’s claim. Staff then contacted its tax specialist to determine if the board should challenge the de- cision. “The tax specialist has indi- cated it is unlikely that any further action by staff will pro- duce a favourable outcome,” David Visser, the board’s busi- ness superintendent, stated in a report to trustees on the Oct. 15 board meeting agenda.

Still another month to make Ajax design contest deadline AJAX —The deadline is ap- proaching for entries in the To wn’s 50th anniversary logo contest. Everyone who lives or works in Ajax can submit an idea, with the winner receiving $250. To date, about a dozen logos have been submitted since the contest was launched in August, anniversary steering committee member Debra Bloomfield noted. “Most of them are hand- drawn, but that’s not a problem. If we like a hand-drawn design best, we’ll have it recreated by a graphic artist and the original designer will still win the prize,” she added. The Town celebrates its gold- en anniversary in 2005, but the logo is needed before then so souvenir and publicity materials can be developed. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 15 and the winner is ex- pected to be announced at the council meeting Nov. 25. Organizers want a simple de- sign that will look good in any size or colour. The entries can be hand- drawn or created on a computer, but printed paper must be sub- mitted, as these will be used for the judging. Local councillors Ralph Gol- berg and Pat Brown, co-chair- men of the steering committee, along with two staff members on the committee and two members of the Ajax cultural arts advisory committee, will judge the en- tries. Brochures with details have been sent to all local schools. They are also available at Town facilities or online at www.townofajax.com/fifty. For more information on the logo design contest, call Ms. Bloomfield at 905-619-2529, ext. 362.

Relief agency helps fund basic needs for communities around the world DURHAM ––The Ad- ventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) in Canada, in conjunction with the Bowmanville Sev- enth-day Adventist Church, has launched its 95th ADRA Annual Appeal. ADRA Canada is a reg- istered charity to which do- nations over $5 for the ADRA Annual Appeal are eligible for tax-deductible receipts. Until Dec. 31 there will be thousands of volunteers in every province campaigning in malls, approaching busi- nesses and going door-to- door to raise funds for ADRA. These funds will be channelled into develop- ment projects overseas, worldwide disaster re- sponse efforts and commu- nity services programs in Canada. This international non- profit organization has been supporting communi- ty-based programs, assist- ing the underprivileged and has been partnered with the Canadian International De- velopment Agency (CIDA) since the early 1980s. ADRA concentrates on helping communities around the world with basic needs, such as clean water, primary health care, agri- cultural training, basic edu- cation and income genera- tion programs. ADRA helps over 10,000 people daily and every year more than $170 million in food programs is donated to help benefit more than 3.8 million peo- ple worldwide. Last year’s campaign funded programs which in- cluded polio immunization campaigns in Guinea, India, Mongolia, Nepal, and Yemen. There were also social development programs in Togo and Nepal. In Canada, more than $300,000 was dispersed to 171 communities across Canada assisting in social programs such as food dis- tribution, computer train- ing, and work skills devel- opment. Over the next several weeks, ADRA volunteers will be in Clarington en- couraging people to donate. Fifty-four per cent of a do- nation made will stay in Canada to sponsor social programs while the remain- ing 46 per cent can be matched by the Canadian government and sent over- seas to a developing coun- try.

People Against Pornography celebrates White Ribbon Week Group focuses on age of consent legislation DURHAM ––Describing it- self as a ‘family focus group,’ Durham Region People Against Pornography is celebrating White Ribbon Week Oct. 20-27 with books on keeping children safe. By bringing attention to the age-of-consent law, the organiza- tion hopes it can lobby the feder- al government to raise the age from 14 to 16. Last spring, Larry Spencer, Canadian Alliance fami- ly issues critic, presented a mo- tion in Parliament that would pro- tect underage children from sexu- al exploitation by adults, by rais- ing the Canadian legal age of consent. “People are astounded that (the age of consent is) 14,” says Susan Shetler, founder of Durham Region People Against Pornography. “There’s a strong lobby to increase it to 16. And this ties in more and more with Internet pornography where chil- dren are being lured.” The local anti-pornography group plans to donate books to local schools, libraries, colleges and family groups on Internet safety. These books can be seen at the current white ribbon dis- play in the Northview Branch of the Oshawa Public Library, 250 Beatrice St. E., Oshawa. Depression help for parents offered AJAX —Ajax-Pickering COPE has designed a 10-session program for parents suffering from depres- sion. COPE is a non-profit agency that helps adults with emotional or psy- chiatric problems and having trouble dealing with day-to-day activities. Parenting through depression in- cludes an overview of depression with therapy options, how to handle the frantic ‘morning rush’, taking time for yourself, healthy choices and a closing session, including feed- back and ‘where to go from here.’ The program is designed to break the cycle of behaviours that can con- tribute to mental illness. One session has already been held, but parents are still welcome at the next meeting, Wednesday, Nov. 20. The program takes place on the third Wednesday of every month, from 6:45 to 9 p.m., at the Ajax respite program office, 486 Westney Rd. S., Units 19 and 20, in Ajax. To register, call Jody Taylor at 905-686-3248. Pre-registration is re- quired. Since Pickering Town Centre opened its doors in 1972 it has grown and flourished with the surrounding community. From its humble beginnings as Sheridan Mall, the one-time strip plaza has developed into a large regional shopping centre housing over 200 stores and services. Located in the “heart” of the City of Pickering, Pickering Town Centre is more than a place to shop. There is always a buzz at the shopping centre with events that range from mall-wide sidewalk sales to community group performances. Every December the centre hosts one of the country’s largest Choirs Festivals with over 40 local schools competing each year. Pickering Town Centre believes in keeping the community in touch with each other. Space within the Centre is allocated for local community groups and charitable events. “Wish” money from the fountains is donated to charities within the community. In support of the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation, Pickering Town Centre has sponsored the Pickering Town Centre’s Mayors’ Charity Classic golf event for the past seven years raising over $820,000 for the Health Centre. As well as improving the aesthetics of the inside of the Centre, in May 1999 Pickering Town Centre added a 17 foot tall, highly polished stainless steel sculpture, entitled Dreamscape; a gift of public art for the community. In recent years the mall has placed a greater emphasis on its services. From Guest Services, Customer with Child Parking, Gift-Wrapping Service, mall-wide Gift Certificates, the MallWalker Program to the Security Team, Pickering Town Centre is a great place for people to meet, relax and of course...shop. Pickering Town Centre has made changes to the interior and exterior of the Shopping Centre over the years but it continues to remain a Centre focused on the community. With the support of its loyal customers, Pickering Town Centre plans to continue to grow, expand and flourish with the community. • The Grand Opening in 1972, known then as Sheridan Mall, introduces over 80 new stores and covers 421,000 square feet. • In 1985, the shopping centre is renovated and expanded with the addition of the Eaton’s Wing. The mall is renamed Pickering Town Centre. • In 1988, Pickering Town Centre is further expanded with the Sears Wing. The shopping centre now houses over 200 stores and services contained in over one million square feet of space, all under one roof. •1997 marks the inaugural year of the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic in support of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation.

Volunteers sought to aid settlement of immigrants in Ajax and Pickering DURHAM —Coming to a new country is difficult, but the transition can be made a little easier with some help. To aid newcomers to Canada, the Social Develop- ment Council of Ajax-Pick- ering offers its host program. The council provides the pro- gram in Durham Region for Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Volunteers are matched with new immigrants, pro- viding friendship, support, help with language barriers and assistance in adjusting to life here. Volunteers help find such services as enrolling in schools and using transit, program co-ordinator Mah- mood Mustafa said. On average, volunteers spend three to four hours a week with the newcomer and the pair can decide when and where to meet and what to do. “It’s a wonderful opportu- nity for Canadians to help new immigrants participate in the community,” Mr. Mustafa says. “Volunteers have the chance to make a new friend, learn about another country, possibly a different language and a new culture.” An information meeting explaining the program is being held Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in the main branch of the Ajax Public Li- brary, at Harwood Avenue South and Kings Crescent, next to Town Hall. Both prospective volun- teers and immigrants can at- tend. For more information, call Mr. Mustafa at 905-686- 2661.

Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 18, 2002 Talking safety while on the road Cellphones can be essential gear for autumn excursions This fall, as Canadians take to the highways for seasonal getaways, even more people are taking their wireless phones, not just for convenience but for an extra assurance of safe- ty and access to help. More than 11 million Canadians own wireless phones and many recog- nize the role they can play in personal and road safety. A wireless phone can help you keep in touch with family, friends and business contacts while you are away. While cellphones are a recognized safety tool, it’s important to use them safe- ly. With increased traffic on the roads, it’s also im- portant to be aware of dis- tractions. Here are some common sense tips for en- suring safety on the road this fall season: • Always buckle up, keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road; • Pull over to the side of the road if you are tired or your concentration starts to waiver; • Use a hands-free de- vice for your phone to help keep both hands on the wheel; • Do not engage in stressful or emotional con- versations with your pas- sengers or on the phone that may divert your atten- tion from the road; • Give yourself enough time to get to your destina- tion so you are not rushed; • When dialling manual- ly, dial only when stopped. Or, have a passenger dial for you; • Never read maps or take notes while driving. Safely pull off the road if you need to find directions or write something down; and • Let voice mail take your calls when it’s incon- venient and unsafe to an- swer the phone, or when driving conditions become hazardous. For more information, visit the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Asso- ciation Web site at www.cwta.ca. — News Canada Wi reless phones can be an important tool for those travelling by car, but precautions should be taken to ensure road safety. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association offers timely tips on promoting safe use of wireless phone products while you’re heading by car to your favourite destination. Distractions can be deadly Does this sound familiar? It’s Fri- day and you’re trying to beat the traffic after work on your way to the cottage, so you pick up fast food and eat dinner on the road. Or perhaps you’re on the way to a dinner party and you touch up your makeup or hair as you drive. Maybe you jot down driving directions while speaking with your friend on your cell- phone. Or there’s still an hour to go be- fore you get to your campsite and the kids are starting World War III in the back seat. Perhaps the CD you just have to listen to is stuck in its case. All of these distractions take your attention away from what should be your primary focus: driving. Always give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and take care of eat- ing or grooming before you start your car. Never take notes while driving and make sure that your favourite CD is al- ready in the player before you drive out of the garage. On long drives, take frequent breaks to help prevent fatigue, especially if you have kids in the back. — News Canada Internet offers virtual maps Did you know Canadians have had access to free maps on the Internet since 1999?

Those rebels would be volun- teers at Pickering Museum Vil- lage doing their part to keep alive Pickering Township’s role in the Rebellion of 1837. When history lovers — and those with an ap- preciation for live theatre — ar- rive for next fall’s production of the annual ‘A Spirit Walk’, there will be an important new addi- tion to the tale. Proudly displayed as part of the show will be a replica of a banner confiscated by then-lieu- tenant governor of Upper Canada Sir Francis Bond Head, shortly after the rebels were defeated. As the story goes, Sir Bond Head discovered the red banner in Montgomery’s Tavern, a meet- ing point for the rebels. He took it along with him on his return to England in 1838 and it remained with his family until the 1960s when a great-great-granddaugh- ter helped arrange for it to be turned over to the provincial gov- ernment. The original now re- sides at the Archives of Ontario in Toronto. Bringing the replica to life are Lyn McGowan and Barbara Vranic. The two have been in various stages of work since ob- taining a colour picture of the original from the archives back in January. “We thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a replica of the banner,” said Vranic who, along with fellow museum volunteer Mary Cook, made the initial dis- covery. With a little help from a story that appeared in an Ontario His- torical Society publication,Vran- ic and McGowan began their work with hopes of completion in time for the 2002 ‘A Spirit Walk’ held at the beginning of September. The project, however, has had its share of challenges. “I think it’s been getting the proper, most correct yarn to weave the banner cloth,” said Vranic. “It’s been difficult finding the right kind of wool. It’s quite a job, it takes quite a while, never mind finding the yarn.” McGowan agreed. “Finding a yarn fine enough, strong enough and it has been a real challenge getting the right colouring,” she said. McGowan is well along in weaving the 36-by-104-inch ban- ner, which she described as a bal- anced tabby weave. “It’s just been technical prob- lems that happen,” said the Scar- borough resident. “With any weaving project, you have to weave some, check it and take it out and then weave some more until you get it the way it’s sup- posed to be.” She’s picked up the pace now, reporting she can finish about a foot every two hours as she works away in the Greenwood Community Centre. Vranic’s turn comes when it’s time to apply the white lettering, for which she has prepared tem- plates. One side of the banner reads ‘Bidwell and the glorious Manority 1837 and a good begin- ning’, while the other is in- scribed ‘Victoria 1st and reform’. During the annual Spirit Walk, the banner will hang in the muse- um’s Odd Fellows’ hall, and Vranic, an Ajax resident, expects it will be used in other ways throughout the remainder of the year, possibly as an additional education tool. The two have devoted count- less time thus far to the project. McGowan estimates 300 hours of work on her part when all is said and done, and that’s without counting Vranic’s contributions to date and those still to come. The Pickering Museum Village Foundation is covering the cost of the materials. Yet, despite all those hours of searching, researching and labour, the two have enjoyed the project. In fact, a possible new project popped into McGowan’s head re- cently when she came across in- formation describing what was apparently a rebel flag. “I was looking at that and I thought, gee, it would be fun to weave that if I survive this,” she laughed. Anyone interested in checking out the progress of the project has a chance later this month at an open house, show and sale held by the Shuttlebug Weavers and Spinners Guild. The event is at the Guild Stu- dio in the Greenwood Communi- ty Centre on Greenwood Road and it runs from 1 to 8 p.m. Fri- day, Oct. 25 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26.

THE RING Directed by Gore Verbinski Starring Naomi Watts, David Dorfman, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox It sounded like just another urban legend –– a videotape filled with nightmarish images, leading to a phone call foretelling the viewer’s death in exactly seven days. As a newspaper reporter, Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) was naturally skeptical of the story, until four teenagers all met with mysterious deaths exactly one week after watching just such a tape. Allowing her investigative cu- riosity to get the better of her, Rachel tracks down the video and watches it. Now she has just seven days to unravel the mystery of the ‘Ring.’ FORMULA 51 Directed by Ronny Yu Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Carlyle, Meat Loaf Elmo McElroy (Samuel L. Jackson) is a streetwise American master chemist who heads to England to sell his special new formula, a powerful blue concoc- tion guaranteed to take you to the 51st state. McElroy’s new prod- uct delivers a feeling 51 times more powerful than any thrill, any pleasure, any high in history. But his plans for a quick, prof- itable score go comically awry when he gets stuck in with an un- likely escort (Robert Carlyle) and becomes entangled in a bizarre web of double-dealing and dou- ble-crosses. ABANDON Directed by Stephen Goghan Starring Benjamin Bratt, Katie Holmes, Charlie Hunnam Catherine Burke (Katie Holmes) is under pressure. She faces exams, completion of her thesis, and a competitive interview process, all of which is compounded when a police de- tective, Wade Handler (Benjamin Bratt), begins investigating the two year-old disappearance of her boyfriend, Embry Langan (Charlie Hunnam), a young man whose memory haunts and ob- sesses her. As the investigation continues, Catherine is forced to choose be- tween past passions and new pos- sibilities, even as Handler is dis- covering surprising new facts about Embry and his possible connection to another disappear- ance from campus.

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

Aboard a Renard Formula 2000 race car, Kelly MacPhaden took part this past summer in the four-day Bridgestone/Firestone Racing Academy at Mosport, near Bowmanville, where she learned all the rules of the road, while also engaging in mock races. And, she hopes to parlay her newly found racing skills into a ride in a series next summer, pointing to either the Formula Vee 1600 Series or Formula 2000 se- ries as possibilities. “I’m in the process of putting a team together,” says the petite 29- year-old who’s been a racing en- thusiast all her life. “Definitely, I plan to be racing in the 2003 sea- son. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and now I’m putting my mind to it.” Most of her confidence was gained through her experience at the racing academy. She was the lone female among the field of wannabe drivers. “It was a great school to devel- op your skills in the racing busi- ness,” notes MacPhaden. “The coaching was unbelievable. They take their time with you and help you to be better. That’s one of the things I enjoyed about the school. I think I did very well.” She started off learning how to do shifting in a Firebird car, where she also learned about col- lision avoidance and skid-pad control. Soon after, she was at the wheel of a F2000 car where she was schooled in passing, lapping, accelerating through corners, and eventually took part in races, with the help of instructors, who later critiqued each student’s progress. MacPhaden noted she was in awe of the performance of the F2000 cars. “They were really fast and they accelerated quickly,” she said. “I wasn’t used to that from driving my own car. It was cer- tainly an experience I’ll never for- get.” Far from being intimidated by entering the testosterone-charged, male-dominated world of car rac- ing, MacPhaden noted she’s pre- pared to overcome all obstacles to fulfill her dream. A fan of the For- mula One and CART series’, she attends as many races as possible each summer. “I think a lot more females looking for a thrill are entering the sport and they’re not intimi- dated that racing is dominated by males,” she said. “Being a female, it might be harder to get sponsor- ship. It may seem odd to enter a racing series instead of doing some other sport that isn’t as dan- gerous, but I feel I’m up to the challenge.” MacPhaden plans to continue racing karts indoors in Etobicoke this winter, as well as keeping her wits razor sharp while using a computer program that simulates the track conditions and speed of F1 racing. Her ultimate goal is to be good enough to eventually compete in the Canadian Formula Ford Se- ries. “Hopefully, with sponsorship I’ll be able to enter the Formula Ford Series. I’ll just keep learning and see where it goes from there. I’m going to try my best.” Kelly MacPhaden plans to hitch a ride in a racing series next summer after completing the Bridgestone/Firestone Racing Academy at Mosport this summer. An avid race fan who has raced karts in Toronto, the 29-year-old Ajax resident plans to ascend the latter of the racing world dominated by male drivers.

Constantly worried about his health and his own state of mind, he found himself wanting to avoid situations that made him feel anxious such as being alone, going to work and socializing. In time Mike realized he was not alone in his suffering. Anxiety disorder is the number one emotional problem in our country today. Mike will share the story of his recovery and provide coping skills at a FREE seminar open to the public in your area. Symptoms of anxiety, panic and depression include heart palpitations, chest pains, dizziness, stomach problems, bewildered & spaced out feelings, confusion, shortness of breath, scary thoughts, trembling or shaking, nervous or panicky feelings, feeling helpless and hopeless, loss of appetite, excessively tired, and easily prone to guilt. Generally people fear what Mike calls, “losing control”, having a heart attack, embarrassing themselves, or losing their minds. The Midwest Center For Stress and Anxiety, with whom Mike works, has done stress and anxiety seminars for companies such as Chrysler, AT & T, and McDonald’s. They have also been featured on OPRAH, REGIS and KATHY LEE and ‘THE VIEW’ with BARBARA WALTERS. If you cannot attend, please call 1-800-318-7766 for information.
