Pickering preserve gets Region’s support BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The Region of Durham has reconfirmed its sup- port of the provincial decision to prevent development on agricul- ture land in Pickering. We dnesday, on a narrowly won recorded vote, regional council voted to support Minister of Mu- nicipal Affairs David Young's "ac- tion to protect the agricultural preserve" noting that that deci- sion is "consistent with regional policy".

In the past week, call volumes into the Durham Regional Health Department have been so high, staff there are con- cerned people who genuinely need to be reviewed may not be getting through. "Most of the calls are people concerned they were potentially exposed in Bowmanville," said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham's associate medical officer of health. On May 24, a 75-year-old male patient in Lakeridge Health Bowmanville was added to the list of probable cases, according to Chris Kooy, the hospital's chief operating officer. The pa- tient, who is linked to cases at North York General Hospital where he was previously admit- ted, remains in isolation but is no longer showing SARS-like symptoms, Ms. Kooy said. At Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, hospital staff is seeing more outpatients but still re- stricting visitors. "We have a lot (of patients) in respiratory isolation right now and we're just watching them at this point," said hospital spokesman Maria Milanetti. Earlier this week, Rouge Valley had reported one suspected case of severe acute respiratory syn- drome (SARS) in Ajax, but as of Thursday, the hospital had no probable or suspected cases. Rouge Valley had started to restrict its outpatient proce- dures in Ajax earlier this week, but is now starting to restore those services to about 75 per cent of its overall caseload, Ms. Milanetti said. More elective surgeries are also being sched- uled. "We were really trying to make sure we had enough beds, not because of SARS, but due to high volumes in our emergency department," she said. While the emergency depart- ment has been busy at the Scar- borough site, things have been fairly normal in Ajax, she added. The visitor policy, however, is still in effect as a precautionary measure. Only families of criti- cally-ill patients, one person per labouring mother and parents of pediatric patients are allowed access. All screening remains in place as well. Since May 23, when the latest outbreak was announced after a cluster of cases appeared at Nor th York General Hospital, the health department has re- ceived 1,163 calls and has made 2,532 outgoing calls on the issue.

However Mary Ann Martin, chairman of the Durham Catholic District School Board, said it's just "a precau- tionary measure" and nothing should be read into it. The board and the Durham elementary unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' As- sociation (OECTA), roughly 950 teachers, have been trying to reach a collective agree- ment for a year. Two months ago, 87 per cent of voting teachers gave the union a strike mandate. With a provin- cial conciliation officer present for talks May 20, the board asked for a no board report, a move required to begin a 17- day countdown to sanctions by either the board or the teachers. The two sides meet with a provincial mediator June 2. Marnie Daly, the Durham el- ementary OECTA president, said the board's action is "un- precedented" and indicates it is moving towards sanctioning teachers. "We are worried about the intentions of the board, but we are going into mediation on June 2 as positively as we can to reach an agreement," she said. Ms. Daly said teachers have not initiated any work-to- rule sanctions against the board and do not intend to. Trustee Martin said the no board report was requested because after one year of talks the board is "getting nowhere with OECTA". She said the board wants to end the stale- mate and replied, "absolutely not", when asked if that means the board is going to lock teachers out. "At this point in time, all the board wants is a settlement," she said. "There's no talk at the board about sanctions, lockouts." She said nothing should be read into the board's action. As for report cards, Trustee Martin said the board is play- ing it safe -- teachers are in a legal strike position June 11 and if they were to begin sanc- tions or walk out, the board wants to ensure parents re- ceive report cards. She said asking teachers to have the re- port cards ready earlier was no big deal, since the vast ma- jority of students' work is done by then. Ms. Daly was infuriated at the suggestion June isn't a heavy work month for stu- dents and teachers. "For a trustee to indicate that on May 29 most of the year's work is done is an (enor- mous) indication of a lack of knowledge and a lack of un- derstanding or sensitivity to the work done by teachers in the classroom," she said. She said by moving up the report card timetable, the board has in effect made June "an ineffective teaching month." MMAARRYY AANNNN MMAARRTTIINN Request a ‘precautionary measure.’ Local leaders preach ITER Ottawa meetings making headway BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Durham's ITER delegation has returned from Ottawa feeling much more positive about the federal govern- ment's commitment to the $12-billion en- ergy research project than when they left. But the deal isn't in the bag yet. A missive from UOIT President and Iter Community Council Chairman Gary Polonsky, Tuesday summed up the trip. "We're making progress. Chances are better today than 48 hours ago. Still much to be done. Speaking of which, gotta run!" The delegation, including Clarington Mayor John Mutton, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and labour leader Larry Cann darted between meetings with cau- cus leaders and cabinet ministers. Their goal was to get the message out to as many MPs and staffers on the Hill as possible in their whirlwind two-day visit. On day two alone, the group had 10 ap- pointments set up by local MPs Paul Macklin (Northumberland) and Alex Shepherd (Durham) who also attended many meetings and raised the issue in the House of Commons. The delegation was armed with thou- sands of 'We Want Iter' postcards sent from the community, a letter of endorse- ment from provincial Liberal leader Dal- ton McGuinty and the company of two scientists from the University of Toronto and the University of Ontario Institute of Te c hnology, there to verify the legitimacy of the science of fusion. Clarington councillors joined in the ef- forts as well, making their presence known in the gallery of the House where they were introduced by the local MPs. Their mission was to secure a $1-billion commitment from the federal govern- ment to match Ontario's contribution in the event Canada is selected as the pro- ject host by the G-8 countries, which are all participating in the project. In return, the host is expected to receive approxi- mately $10 billion in revenue from the project. If it intends to pursue its bid for the facility, Canada must also make a commitment to participate in the project with the United States, Europe, Japan, Russia and China, regardless of whether it is selected. The cost of that to the fed- eral government would be about $500 million. Half of Canada's participant in- vestment would be spent in this country on technologies that would then be con- tributed to the project. Japan, Spain and France are also vying to host the facility. Time is of the essence because Canada's re-tooled bid needs to be on the interna- tional negotiating table at a meeting of the partners in Vienna, June 19. If Clarington is selected to host ITER, the International Thermonuclear Exper- imental Reactor, it will be "the largest sci- entific research project of its kind, jetti- soning Canada onto the world stage of clean and safe energy, creating 70,000 person years of high-paid work, paid 90 per cent by non-Canadian sources - all for a chocolate bar per Canadian per year worth of public investment," says Mr. Polonsky. He remains optimistic the federal gov- ernment will see the benefits of pursuing the bid for the project. "The probability of getting the Govern- ment on board in the necessary way is no worse than the probability was of getting the university approved. Yet, the commu- nity prevailed. Maybe it can again," says Mr. Polonsky The key says Mr. Cann, who remained in Ottawa lobbying Thursday, is getting the Ontario ministers' strong support to sell the project to the rest of cabinet. One thing for certain, he says, the Durham contingent did raise ITER's pro- file in Ottawa, substantially. "They're all very aware of it. The lobbying effort has been very successful in raising the aware- ness no doubt about it."

The Pickering man's five- month-old trial has been in a holding pattern since early May while Justice Robert Scott re- covers from a ruptured ap- pendix. Last week, ju- rors were told f inal submis- sions would begin Monday. The arguments have now been rescheduled to start next Mon- day.

City wants power for the people BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––An effort to put an end to power lines and communications towers in Rouge Park isn't practical, say City officials. Pickering's planning committee has decided not to support a Rouge Park Alliance request calling for an end to future infrastructure through Rouge Park. "They want all infrastructure stopped and that's just not practical or appropriate from a municipal standpoint," said Ward 1 City Coun- cillor David Ryan, Pickering's repre- sentative on the alliance. "We appreciate and support the principles of the Rouge Alliance to protect Rouge Valley, but we feel that's best accomplished by following the environmental assessment under the Rouge Valley North Management Plan." Rouge Valley Alliance's request stems from a history of not being in- formed of such applications "until after the fact", said general manager Lewis Yeager. "We don't want to become a dump- ing ground for infrastructure," he said, pointing out often there is a bias towards running roads and power lines through public land because it is cheaper. But structures like communication towers and pipelines run counter to the natural environmental features within the Rouge Park, Mr. Yeager said. Rouge Valley Alliance, an intergov- ernmental planning and manage- ment authority for the park, needs to "be at the table" for such issues, he said. The Alliance should have input, but there is a process under the Rouge Valley North Management Plan that requires projects be re- viewed under the Environmental As- sessment Act, said Coun. Ryan. He pointed to the widening of the Steeles Avenue/Taunton Road corri- dor in Pickering, as a project that would never had been realized if there had been a ban on infrastruc- ture in Rouge Park. "You can't deny the fact we have people living in Pickering, Ajax and Yo rk Region, who have a need to travel in between," Coun. Ryan said. But Mr. Yeager pointed out the Rouge Valley North Management Plan has yet to be formally imple- mented. Only Markham has adopted it so far in its Official Plan. Durham Region and Pickering have plans to consider an Official Plan amendment later this year. "It is on our agenda though," said Coun. Ryan. durhamregion.com ing townline across to West Duffin Creek from Finch Av- enue, thinning out as it runs north to Hwy. 7. The decision reconfirms a position Durham council took in December when it voted to support the provincial protec- tion for land sold by the On- tario Realty Corporation in Pickering. The sales were made with guarantees the land would remain agricultur- al, in perpetuity. Earlier this year, the City of Pickering began a develop- ment study, paid for by devel- opers, for land within the mu- nicipality, including the pre- serve. This action raised con- cerns with some community members and environmental- ists that the land was being considered for development al- though City councillors have repeatedly denied this. Howev- er, Pickering council opposed the provincial decision to hold jurisdiction over the lands, stating it contravenes its right for local planning autonomy. During discussions Wednes- day, Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs reiterated this con- cern and opposed regional council's support for the devel- opment freeze by the Province. However, Oshawa Mayor and regional planning commit- tee member Nancy Diamond said the Region made a deal on those lands with the Province and the City of Pick- ering for them to remain agri- cultural. Pickering Councillor Mark Holland said he did not sup- port the agricultural preserve being included in Pickering's development study, however, he added the debate on those lands should not cloud the "real issue" that Pickering's planning rights are "being ripped away". The Province also plans to work with developers to create an urban area on lands it owns in Pickering, known as Seaton. Council is asking the Province to ensure Seaton is planned through "a community-based approach led by Pickering and the Region." www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 30, 2003 PAGE 5 P THE WALLPAPER CENTRE NO GST NO PST Sorry Mr. Chretien!

On Thursday, the LHB man was the only probable case in the region; three people were under investiga- tion and 509 were in quarantine.

Fixed dates needed for elections Party in power has too much influence in current system There’s an election coming, no there’s not. Open a cam- paign office, close it down. Will he or won’t he? It’s high time we stopped the now-you-see-it, now-you- don’t nature of election calls by majority governments in Canada. Federal and provincial majority governments should be held to an election exactly four years later. Majority governments have become the norm in Canadian politics despite the proliferation of parties on the federal scene. Not since 1979 has there been a minority federal gov- ernment. In Ontario, there has been just one minority, be- tween 1985-87, in more than 20 years. With a majority, all the power as to when an election is called rides solely with the premier. The system opens itself up to numerous political abuses including false starts that can drain the resources of opposition candidates. It also al- lows the party in power advantages no other party has. Candidates on the government side, who have the inside track from the premier’s office on just when an election is coming, can plan their campaigns accordingly. The premier, naturally, keeps a sharp eye on the polls and will not pull the trigger on an election until the time is just right to go to the people. Such a process merely encourages cynicism on the part of voters who have been turning out in fewer numbers over the past few decades. In Ontario, premiers have jumped the gun early and paid the price. David Peterson called a snap election in 1990 after just three years on the job and was whipped by the NDP. The strategy seemed to work however for Jean Chretien in 2000 when he went to the people just after three years in power. In either case, neither leader had fulfilled his mandate and their reasons for calling an election didn’t bear up under scrutiny. Voters expect a four-year term from their majority governments. The next logical step is to establish legislation in the Elections Act that would force an election every four years. Such a decision would give all candidates an equal shot at success, would take the backroom element of decision-mak- ing and time judgment away from the process and would es- tablish an election season in Canada. As we have with our own municipal elections, held every third November and as the United States does with all its elections for federal office, every second November, Ontario and Canada could take the unfair advantage away from pre- mier and prime minister and level the playing field. Elec- tions should be fair for all concerned and should give every- one an equal chance to reach the people. Note to Tories: Seniors do care about education TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: I have a message for Janet Ecker and her cohorts. This is one old voter you won’t buy with your shameless scheme to elimi- nate education taxes for seniors. You need a civics lesson. Taxation isn’t about picking and choosing the services I want and paying for them. It’s about doing my part to help build and sustain the kind of soci- ety in which I am proud to live. Long ago we decided it was in the col- lective best interests of everyone in this country to have an educated, literate population. After all, today’s student might become the doctor who performs life-saving surgery on me 10 years from now. Keep your property tax reduction, Ms. Ecker, you have no right to mort- gage the future of this province in a shabby attempt to save your political neck. VVeerrnnoonn RR..

I gave up trying to make out what the musicians were singing in 1970 and it has saved me a lot of grief. So many words tend to come and go just like fads in fashion. It has been eons since I heard anyone say, ‘Hubba hubba!’ I suppose, ‘You go, girl!’ will eventually die out as well. New words also find their way into more formal language and they aren’t so easy to shrug off. Ever since the Benylin commer- cial, folks wanting to sound up- scale talk about formulations in- stead of formulas (or fomulae to be more accurate). I don’t know about the rest of you but I can’t envisage feeding the baby her for- mulation, and I know it was a se- cret formula, not a formulation, that turned Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde. There is another new word (at least it’s new to me) that has grabbed my attention lately. Radio and television interviewers and their guests have been slipping it into their conversations with in- creasing frequency. At first I tried to ascertain its meaning from hearing it in context. I thought it had something to do with evolv- ing. Finally, I thought I’d better look it up. If the word was going to be so popular I should make an ef- fort to use it myself and I’d need to learn the exact connotation. I couldn’t find it. I have three dictionaries and I couldn’t find it! Maybe I just didn’t know how to spell it. I tried to formulate it in as many different ways as my usually superior spelling ability could dream up - segway wasn’t in my dictionaries so I tried zegway, seig- way, ceigweigh, sugwhey, even sig- wer (maybe the word was French). Ah-hah! Lightbulb flashing! The English language is so rich, so colourful, so useful worldwide, because it borrows shamelessly from other languages. My new word had to be one of those expro- priations. Back to Daniel Web- ster... and there it was - segue, pro- nounced segway and meaning “proceed to what follows without pause.” It comes from Italian and has been mostly used in English as a musical term. I don’t suppose my granddaugh- ter could segue from one song to another while dancing unless the musicians segued a medley of tunes, but I often find myself segueing from one topic to anoth- er while talking on the phone, and I’m segueing all the time while watching TV with my trusty re- mote in hand. What a useful word for our segueing society! A Goodwood resident, Eleanor Todd is a retired schoolteacher who loves local history.

And it seems to be working, ac- cording to Mary Anne Pietrusiask, epidemiologist who says a survey conducted this year by the Durham Region Health Department shows in 2002 the number of residents using pesticides had dropped nine per cent over the year before, from 52 per cent to 43 per cent. Last year, the Region investigated reduction and elimination of pesti- cides for cosmetic use on behalf of the eight local municipalities, which are each responsible for bylaws in their own jurisdiction. Unlike its Toronto counterpart, which urged a ban, Durham recom- mended public education to reduce its use on private property where fea- sible, says Ms. Pietrusiask. She says the health department recommends, "less is better, avoid pesticides if you can, use alternative methods if you can and don't use more than you need to." That's been the philosophy of most Durham municipalities, which have adopted an integrated pest manage- ment (IPM) program. The IPM pro- gram can include numerous initia- tives incorporating appropriate plant selection, using the best soil, biologi- cal organisms for grub control, mulches, effective fertilizing based on analysis of soil conditions, the use of Aquicide hot-water sprayers to kill unwanted weeds and vegetation, high-blade mowing, proper watering and lawn aeration and, as a last re- sort, pesticides. All those practices can be used equally-well on private property. The City of Oshawa has reduced its pesticide use by 80 per cent in the past decade, according to Noel Hutchinson, director of parks and fa- cilities. In the next four years, the de- partment is proposing to reduce its pesticide use further to almost nil. But it will come at a price, admits Mr. Hutchinson. He is expecting the 2003 base maintenance budget of $125,000 to increase gradually to an annual cost of about $400,000 by 2007 to ac- commodate the new way of manag- ing the City's public spaces. The City is also drafting guidelines for con- tractors developing new facilities and parks to ensure "you have a better quality product to begin with and have a better situation down the road." Although the new regime comes at a greater cost, Mr. Hutchinson says he believes the majority of the public is supportive of the new system. "We used to get about 25 calls to spray dandelions to every one we got not to spray them. Now that's reversed." Aside from the cost consideration, Mr. Hutchinson says people will need to accept a slightly deteriorated qual- ity of lawn. High-use areas, like soccer fields will "need more time to rejuve- nate. We might need an extra field or two" to provide a break for those high-use areas to recover. The jury is still out on whether pes- ticides really create a health risk when used appropriately. There are studies that indicate there is an asso- ciated risk and others that counter those findings. The Region's position is the "epidemiological evidence is in- adequate to draw a cause and effect," between health issues and pesticides, However, that doesn't mean they def- initely do not exist. "It is better safe than sorry," says Mr. Hutchinson. "It's going to cost more to keep up to the same quality as using chemicals but for the sake of our health and our children, it's worth it."

At Monday's Durham District School Board meeting, the Oshawa trustee successfully mo- tioned that an ad hoc com- mittee be set up to review the policy. Trustees Shetler, Martin Demmers (Scugog), Paul Crawford (Pickering) and Cynthia Steffen (Oshawa) will re- view the policy and possi- bly bring recommenda- tions to the entire board. Trustee Shetler said the board's policy should en- sure "the whole community is involved" in the process. In an interview she noted there's a marked difference between the interest in school naming shown in north Durham and in the urban south. "(Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine's) citizens are so involved and so interested because up north you find there's generations of people who have lived in the vicinity," she said. Trustee Shetler would like to see that level of in- volvement in urban Durham. She noted the re- cent naming of Sherwood Public School in Oshawa attracted only seven sug- gested names, "only half of which were usable." As well, she said just two par- ents, two students, the school principal, Oshawa superintendent Chris Wa rd and trustees, includ- ing herself, chose the name, which she believes is not representative of the community. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross at the meeting op- posed forming a commit- tee, arguing the board's policy is sound and it can't ensure there is a lot of in- volvement in naming. Trustee Shetler re- sponded, "then we reach out further." She noted the naming of Sherwood Public School included the City of Os- hawa almost as an after- thought, wondering what else is missing from the process. The board has now made it standard to consult the relevant mu- nicipality in naming a school. Trustee Shetler twice in two years has sat on nam- ing committees but then objected to both the cho- sen name and the process by which it was picked. When Pierre Elliott Trudeau Public School was named in 2001, she called for the process to take place again when it came forward for final board approval. One of the other names up for consid- eration was former Durham police chief Jon Jenkins. Trustee Shetler, the Durham Regional Po- lice Service's Durham West volunteer co-ordinator, had hoped Mr. Jenkins's name would have come for- ward again when Sher- wood was named, and agreed she would like to see a school bearing the former chief's name. "I would lobby for that," she said in the interview. "He was the first chief of the amalgamated Durham Regional Police Service." However, Trustee Shetler said that's not why she wants the process re- viewed. A school's name will stick for a long time, she said, and should be well chosen. "Naming a school to me is an honour," said Trustee Shetler. "So let's put our all into it. Let's include se- niors, people who live in the area."

The $1,000 annual award will go to a Durham District School Board stu- dent graduating from high school. The winner will have shown excellent leadership and citizenship and done a good job rep- resenting student issues to others. The trustee committee that reviewed the criteria for all scholarships deter- mined that both the Chairperson's and all scholarships awarded on behalf of former directors of education should be the same amount. The committee that chooses the Chairperson's award will be made up of the board chairman and four other trustees. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said the scholar- ship name should be changed to reflect the en- tire board. "I think it should come from the board, the mem- bers of the board, some- times called trustees," he said at the meeting. No other trustee spoke in favour of changing the name. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 30, 2003 PAGE 13 A/P Thornton Cemetery has been serving your community since 1984.

Student representatives serve a one-year term and are chosen by a committee made up of their peers and trustees, including the current student trustees. They can take part in discussions and votes at the board table and are leaders of the student senate, comprised of stu- dent leaders from all of the board's high schools. Carolyn Arbuckle, a student at Dunbarton High School in Picker- ing, and Liam Mooney, who attends Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute in Oshawa, are the student trustees for the 2003/04 school year. Two alternates were chosen in case a student trustee position opens up during the next school year. The first alternate is Nikki Shaffeeullah from Sinclair Sec- ondary School in Whitby, and the second is Christina Allen, who at- tends G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa. The new trustees replace Melissa Gerritts from R.S. McLaughlin Col- legiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa and Brock High School's Lori McAvoy. Pickering, Oshawa students join board Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Big Bike’s back in town PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– It’s that time of year again. Area businesses and groups get teams together to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, while also having a little fun with a ride on the big bike. The ‘Ferocious Bikers’ from Pickering Town Centre, led by front, from left, Amanda Comek, team captain Chris Couch and Al Tischer, raised $3,017 for the cause. Recyclables, organics collection plays important role Blue bins for recyclables! Green carts for organics! During the Frenchman's Bay Wa- terfront Festival, June 6 to 8, the City of Pickering is providing more big blue recycling bins, as well as adding green carts to gather unwanted food and paper plates. These containers should appear beside trash cans to make recycling and composting easy. In the past, the Pickering Waste Reduction Committee, together with the 2525 Royal Canadian Pickering Corps, tackled the recycling issue with a couple of blue bins, many blue boxes and pails to gather food scraps, which were taken to a backyard com- poster. In this year's large blue bins you now can include drinking boxes, milk/juice waxed cartons and all plas- tic beverage bottles with a screw top, as well as the familiar recyclable con- tainers. The green carts, which are currently used in Amberlea's commu- nity composting program, make their debut at the festival to take unwant- ed potato chips and fries, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, paper plates, apple cores, fruit peelings, corn cobs, paper towels, serviettes, paper cups and paper drinking trays, tissues, ice cream sticks, popcorn bags, and even the sticky paper hold- er from candy floss. As Durham Re- gion does not, as yet, have a com- posting facility, these organic con- tents will be taken to Miller Waste's facility in York Region. The City also is striving to provide recycle bins at the June 7 Dragon boat races too. If containers are not available at this event, by either orga- nizers or the City, participants and viewers should take back home all re- cyclable paper, food containers and food scraps to their own blue boxes and composters. Look for the 'Right' containers or the dogs that frequent these events may bark out 'It's about time to paws to recycle and compost!' ReThink, the future is Rs! ••• Starting in June, our blue box will collect more materials. Watch for Durham Region's advertising cam- paign. With the new materials -- all plastic bottles with a screw top, drinking boxes, empty paint and aerosol cans, all rigid foil, and waxed gable topped milk/juice cartons -- the average household will need more blue boxes. You can purchase them from any of the regional transfer sta- tions and Miller Waste Recycling. The blue box is ideal for recycling collectors as it provides a good grip, the size is manageable to lift and tip into the truck, and it has holes in the bottom for water drainage. If you do not wish to buy more, become 'Re- sourceful' and look around your house for hampers or other suitable containers. In June, businesses have an excel- lent opportunity to combine the month with the blue box as part of marketing campaigns, thus provid- ing a needed service and good public relations as well as supporting the Region with its promotion. A supermarket, for example, could offer a blue box with each grocery purchase of over $100. Garden centres might place topsoil in a blue box. Video outlets may opt to devise a type of 'stamp a card for blue', which gives away a blue box with a given number of movie rentals. Banks often promote new accounts with a gift -- why not a blue box?

MOVING SALE ALL FLOOR STOCK AND FABRICS REDUCED SAVE UP TO 50% OFF V isions Of The Garden By Janice J Donelle, Horticulturist Pine Ridge Garden Gallery Visions of vibrant red climbing roses cascading gracefully over a white arbour; visions of multi- petalled, old-fashioned blooms, emitting wondrous fragrance into the air; visions of carpet roses spreading daintily amid tidy front yard evergreens. Roses continue to grow in popularity and your garden, no matter the size, will benefit from the addition of the never-ending appeal of a rose. The welcome addition of roses into your gardening vision is one of the easiest ways to bring fragrance and beautiful blooms into any area of the garden. From sprawling climbers to sunlight, however, roses typically require full sun to thrive and flourish. 2. Proper planting techniques are important. Dig an adequate-sized hole, supplement existing soil with compost and organic matter, firm the rose plant into the soil and fertilize with transplant fertilizer. 3. Fertilize established roses with an appropriate bloom- enhancing fertilizer. Do not fertilize new or established rose bushes after August. 4. ‘Dead head’ or remove- faded blooms to ensure more grandifloras and hybrid teas, from ‘David Austin’ rose to ‘Hardy Explorer’ shrub roses, from miniature roses to patio bushes, your choices are only limited by your imagination, vision, and on a practical note, space. A few key components to ensure vibrant healthy roses are as follows: 1. Choose a site in the garden that receives six hours of sunlight. Certain varieties will thrive with less bloom production and promote added rigour to the plant. 5. Provide winter protection by hilling up soil around the base of the plant or cover the plant completely with a specifically-designed rose hut. Landscaping possibilities for roses would consist of the following: 1. Soften an expanse of fence with climbing roses. 2. ‘Carpet Roses’ can be used effectively as a ground cover or a low-accent specimen. 3. Shrub roses, such as the many varieties of the ‘Explorer’ series, can be used a hedge, screen or a single accent in a mixed flower border. 4. Miniature or patio roses are ideal for small gardening areas by the front entranceway or ar ound a backyard patio. 5. The ‘David Austin’ series of roses bred with incredible fragrances, huge old- fashioned blooms and increased disease resistance can be used in a formal rose garden or as accent specimens. Enjoy the many delights of roses, from fragrance to vibrant blooms and until next week’s column, “sit back and vision your garden”. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 30, 2003 PAGE 15 A/P Mary and Gary Riches of Pickering invite you to celebrate the opening of The Water Drop™.

AJAX 905-686-6420 HOT TUB SPECIAL SEVERAL TUBS IN STOCK READY FOR DELIVERY Q. There are so many things in the home that are a potential danger to children, it’s overwhelming. How do I get started? A. Childproofing the home may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Go through the home room by room with a pad and pencil and write down potential dangers. For example, in the living room it may be a glass bowl on a coffee table. A child may pick it up, drop it and get cut on the glass. Or perhaps it is an area rug that can cause them to trip, or a hard-edged coffee table that they can bump themselves on. Keep these things in mind when little ones are running about. Candles can also be a hazard. Ever-popular in home décor, make sure lit candles are placed on a high shelf, out of the reach of small children. Q. We always hear about the dangers in the kitchen in regards to the cleaning supplies. Are there any other kitchen dangers we need to be aware of? A. Yes. The kitchen is full of potential hazards to children. Keep the handles of pots and pans turned inward while cooking so curious hands can’t pull them off the stove and be scalded. Keep children away from hot ovens, especially when cooking a meal that takes a long time to prepare, like a holiday turkey. Children can get burned on the glass, even on the outside of the door. Keep forks, knives and other utensils out of a child’s reach and don’t leave them on countertops or tables. Children can grab these off the counter and take off running before you know it. Q. What about the rest of the home? Again, co nduct safety surveys a couple of times a year. Don’t just concentrate on the obvious, even the most seemingly inconsequential item, such as a splinter on a shelving unit, a stray pen or an untacked carpet can pose a potential danger to small children. The Bathroom Never leave small children unattended in a bathtub, even for a second. Small children can drown in as little as two inches of water. Apply non-slip decals in the tub and shower to help prevent slipping. Cushion faucets and the hard edges of countertops in case of a fall and make sure the medicine cabinet is locked at all times - children can often mistake medicine for candy. Throughout The Home Use socket guards to prevent electrical injury. Keep stairwells well-lit and blocked off- both top and bottom- with gates. Doors should be closed and locked wherever possible to prevent children from wandering outside or into another room and out of your line of vision.

The Picker- ing man was checking the winning Lotto Super 7 num- bers in the paper two Sat- urdays ago and was stunned to notice that they matched the numbers on his ticket. He and his wife, Teresa, had won sec- ond prize in the May 16th draw - good for $109,008.60. "We won! I think we won! He kept repeat- ing that and was very excit- ed," Teresa told Ontario Lot- tery and Gam- ing Corpora- tion (OLGC) staff when they claimed their prize money. Ms. Scott is a personal banker and her husband works in insurance. The couple has three kids and plans on shar- ing the money with family, paying bills and buying a new vehicle.Read up at:durhamregion.com www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 30, 2003 PAGE 19 A/P Come See the 726 Wilson Road South, Oshawa (905) 576-1860 Miller Road Show Tour!

Dianne Cunningham, minister of training, colleges and universities, on Thursday announced the Pickering resident is the government's first am- bassador to promote the skilled trades to high school pupils. Mr. Jones is a sports broadcaster and former amateur boxing champion. He is a familiar face in Durham schools, often speaking to students of the tough time he had as a young man before turning his life around. "Young people need opportunities to develop confidence in themselves and their skills," Mr. Jones said in a re- lease. "They also need to learn about the wide range of opportunities avail- able if they take the time to plan their training and education, and put their heart and energy into achieving their goals. My message to students is that the more education and training you have, the more opportunities you have to succeed, and apprenticeship training provides an excellent opportunity for a great career." As ambassador, his role involves vis- iting schools across the province to en- courage young people to make good choices for the future, and promoting provincial programs that give stu- dents a head start in a skilled-trades career. Those programs include the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Pro- gram, Ontario Summer Jobs and co- operative education placements. SSPPIIDDEERR JJOONNEESS Skilled trades ambassador.

Batten disease can hurt children in particularly cruel ways. That fact and a boy named Dylan are why the Durham Chapter of Harley- Davidson Owners (HOG) is riding for the seventh year - to help find a cure. Batten Disease, the most common form of a group of disorders called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), claimed the life of 10-year-old Dylan last year. Over time, af- fected children suffer mental impairment, worsening seizures, and progressive loss of sight and motor skills. Eventually, children with Ju- venile Batten Disease become blind, bedridden, and unable to communicate. Batten Dis- ease is always fatal. "We're hoping we get 300 to 400 (riders) out this year," says Ed Jakiwchuk, assistant director for 'Bikes for Batten - the Dylan Carr Memorial Ride.' We had 196 (riders) last year and are hoping to double the funds raised." One reason why more rid- ers and sponsors may very well become involved this year is because of Dylan Carr. Cheryl Base, Dylan's aunt, is grateful to the HOG group, and remembers how her nephew liked to go for 'rides' on the back of the big bikes. "This year's bike ride will be especially difficult for all of us, as will all of the 'first times' without Dylan," says Ms. Base. "The first Christmas, the first Easter, his birthday (May 1) and, of course, the first bike ride. I know we will all miss Dylan's physical pres- ence June 1, although I know that he will be with us all in our hearts and our memo- ries." Entry fees and sponsor- ships are donated to Batten Disease Support and Re- search Association. Forms are available at Mackie's new 880 Champlain Rd., Oshawa deal- ership, where the 100-km ride begins and finishes. The ride starts at 10 a.m. June 1. Call 905-434-6060 or visit www.durhamhog.com for more information. Ed Jakiwchuk is ready for the seventh annual Bikes for Batten – the Dylan Carr Memorial Ride. Proceeds go towards research to find a cure for Batten disease.

A/P PAGE 26 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 30, 2003 www.durhamregion.com SSppoorrttss FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 Swing for cash Rotary golf event has millions up for grabs See page 32 Niall Maynard suits up with Merchants for another shot at pros BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor AAJJAAXX — A summer in the ‘B’ league will hopefully end in a trip back to the big leagues for an Ajax lacrosse player. Niall Maynard is suiting up with the nearby Brooklin Mer- chants of the Ontario Lacrosse Association’s senior ‘B’ league this summer, hoping to get his game and his health back on track for the 2004 season. “I’m hoping to be picked up by a pro team next year,” said the 24-year-old. “I’ve got to keep my head up and have a good season and hopefully next year I can come back (to the pros) with a vengeance.” His pro career to date, said Maynard, has been marked mainly by injury, bad luck and mostly frustration. Drafted originally by the National L acrosse League’s (NLL) To ronto Rock, he was shipped to the Ottawa Rebel and during one of his first two practices, twisted an ankle and wasn’t able to play. He was later re- leased and landed with the Columbus Landsharks. A month after joining the Ohio- based squad, his ankle was in- jured again, which prompted his release last year. As it stands currently, May- nard is a free agent and thus can be picked up by any of the NLL’s 12 teams when the 2004 season rolls around. Being a free agent, said May- nard, is not a big deal as most of the players in the NLL are only signed to play a year at a time. And, because the league has un- dergone rapid expansion in the past several seasons, he’s opti- mistic he’ll catch on somewhere. “It was a big disappointment. It was a setback. With this league and the way it’s expand- ing, it’s a lot easier to get back into it,” said Maynard, who en- joyed a stellar amateur career, winning a Minto Cup with the Whitby junior ‘A’ Warriors and a Mann Cup with the Brooklin Redmen senior ‘A’ team. Which brings us back to Brooklin where Maynard has de- cided to play for the summer. A year ago, he played with the se- nior ‘A’ Peterborough Lakers, but decided against going back there this year. Instead, he opted to play with the Merchants as it would allow him more floor time, as well as the chance to play of- fence, as opposed to the defen- sive role he played with the Lak- ers and in his stints in the pro ranks. “I’m hoping to improve my of- fensive game at the senior ‘B’ level and get back to playing of- fence like I did in junior,” said Maynard, adding “I’ll get a lot of chances on the power play.” The Merchants were also a good fit as one of his good friends, Terry Rowland, is coach of the team. And, the Merchants also have a solid lineup, which should make for a competitive summer. “We’ve got a good squad and we’re looking at winning the President’s Cup,” he said, with the Merchants currently owning a 7-1 record, good for second place. “I’m sure we can. We’ve got a solid team and we’ve got a good coach in Terry.” As for playing even closer to home with the Ajax-Pickering Rock, one of two expansion teams in the senior ‘B’ loop this year, Maynard said he was un- aware of the team when he signed on with the Merchants. He is, however, pleased to know the Ajax and Pickering areas are supporting lacrosse at the minor and senior levels. “I think it’s great for the area. Between Whitby and Scarbor- ough there were no leagues up until now. The kids will see it and maybe it will encourage them to stick with it.” A hockey player in his youth, Maynard recalled being dragged along to a lacrosse practice in Whitby by longtime friend and Ajax resident Gee Nash, a goal- tender who’s playing with the Brooklin Redmen senior ‘A’ team this summer in preparation for another season with the NLL’s New York Saints. At that prac- tice, for 12- and 13-year-olds, he worked out for legendary coach Jim Bishop. The rest, as they say, is histo- ry, as hockey became Maynard’s secondary sport and lacrosse came to the fore. New Merchant out to regain his feet - and his game “I’m hoping to improve my offensive game at the senior ‘B’ level and get back to playing offence like I did in junior. I’ll get a lot of chances on the power play.” NNIIAALLLL MMAAYYNNAARRDD Suiting up for the Merchants, but hoping to be picked up by a pro team next season.

Lynn ❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦ IN MEMORY OF TERRY RYAN (JAN. 8, 1947 - MAY 31, 2002) A whole year has come and went Since the sudden, tragic accident That took our dear Terry away We all miss you so much every day Terry gave of himself all that he could It doesn’t seem fair to lose someone so good Terry was always there for everyone Whether it was at home, at work, or just for fun He had a way of making us feel special He touched us all with a hug and a smile The future of our family has changed so much Since we have lost our dear Terry’s wonderful touch A day has not gone by without our tears But we all have so much to cherish from past years You were the best Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Poppa and Friend that there could be It was you, dear Terry, who made us such a happy family You worked very hard during your policing career We had no idea of the impact you made far and near You’ve left a legacy to make us all so proud But we would rather have you with us laughing out loud You had a zest for life, like no other To all who met you, you were like a brother Now our family and friends don’t know who to turn to for advice As it was you who had the answers for our problems in life There’s a void in our lives we can never replace We can only hug pictures of your smiling face As your wife I waited so long by the front door Hoping to have a chance to hug you once more But as time went by, it would seem What I was experiencing was not a dream Our dear Terry is gone and we could not say goodbye We will forever miss you and always question - why? Our plans for the future were taken away All because one man decided to drink and drive on that day We hope you can feel the warmth of our love As you look down on us from heaven above Please know dear Terry that we shall miss you dearly and love you forever!
