Pickering councillors split over new committee structure Plan would ‘cut out public access’ BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —A proposal to change the City’s committee struc- ture to a system that would see councillors meeting during the day rather than at night will “cut out public access” to local govern- ment. That’s the concern shared by Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles and Pickering resident David Steele regarding a motion council will vote on tomorrow (Monday). “I am vehemently opposed to the proposed committee struc- ture,” said Coun. Pickles. “I see it as an affront to ensuring an open and accessible government for our residents.” But, Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland, who’s recom- mending the change, says he’s doing so because he doesn’t be- lieve the current system is working well. “I don’t feel the executive com- mittee is effective,” he said. “We are essentially the same body re- porting to ourselves.” Coun. Holland’s proposal calls for the executive committee, which meets every two weeks and reports to council twice a month, to be replaced by three separate committees that would address planning, operations and finance issues. The committees would be com- prised of three or four members of council and each councillor would be limited to serving on two of the three committees, all of which would report to council once a month. The proposal also recommends councillors receive an additional $2,500 in pay for each committee they serve on. The meeting schedules have not been determined, but it is intended the committees would meet during the day with the exception of the planning committee, which would DAVID PICKLES ‘Vehemently opposed.’See COMMITTEE page 2 meet at night. Council meetings would also contin- ue to be held in the evening. “There is a problem, in my opinion, with the com- munication with staff,” said Coun. Holland, who main- tained councillors don’t have enough time under the current system to have in- depth discussions with staff members about many of the issues council deals with. He believes a more infor- mal structure, with daytime meetings, would provide a greater opportunity for open dialogue with staff and the public. But, Coun. Pickles is concerned that holding day- time committee meetings will limit the opportunity for members of the public to participate because many people work during the day. Mr. Steele, who serves as chairman of the Pickering Community Working Group and Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Environ- ment (PACT), shares that concern. “I’m very disappointed for a number of reasons,” he said in an interview Friday, noting most members of the public aren’t aware this issue is being discussed Monday and won’t have the opportunity to address council prior to the vote. “I think it’s an abuse of power... a total abuse of public office,” said Mr. Steele. “The purpose of a demo- cratic system is so it’s very accessible to the public,” he added, noting the proposal displays “total ignorance of the true democratic system we’re supposed to have”. But, Coun. Holland doesn’t believe public ac- cess will change. He also said if there is an issue of public interest, the opera- tions or finance meetings can be held in the evening, just as the planning meet- ings will be. Meanwhile, Coun. Pick- les reported he’s also op- posed to the proposal to pay councillors an additional $2,500 for each committee they serve on. “Given council remuner- ation is $20,000, this amounts to a 25-per cent in- crease,” he said, noting the total cost would be $37,000. However, Coun. Holland said if councillors are ex- pected to dedicate more time to the job, they should receive an additional stipend. If approved, the new structure would be imple- mented in September.

Stefi Lara Celebrates Grand Opening in Ajax BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —The Region is moving ahead with a study to ex- plore the possibility of building a new headquarters to replace the properties Durham currently rents here, despite some councillors’ concerns about the timing of the study. Regional councillors voted 21-6 Wednesday in favour of conducting a “spatial needs assessment” to ex- amine the feasibility of construct- ing a larger Durham headquarters to house all of the Region’s staff, currently occupying a number of leased premises throughout Durham, in one location. The motion introduced by Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle was amended to ensure Durham staff will complete the study. A consultant will not be hired for the project. “We may find there’s a consid- erable amount of savings,” Mayor Brunelle told his colleagues. “For 26 years we’ve been paying rent... it’s good economics to own.” According to a staff report pre- sented to the works committee re- cently, the Region currently spends $5.3 million a year to lease space in 25 locations across Durham. That figure, however, drops to about $4 million a year when the costs for the satellite health and Emergency Medical Services (am- bulance) buildings are excluded. It’s expected those facilities would need to remain in operation across the region even if a new headquar- ters is built. And, Mayor Brunelle estimates the Region could build a 200,000- square-foot facility for roughly $40 million, a fee he says could be debentured for roughly $4 million a year for a period of 20 to 25 years. “Regional taxpayers have paid long enough for landlords to become rich,” he said Wednesday. The study is “something we should be doing,” Mayor Brunelle said, adding it would probably be two to three years before council would make a decision on whether to move ahead. But, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Di- amond argued “it’s preposterous at best that we could even consider a new building at this time. “We don’t need any more em- pire building,” Mayor Diamond said. Mayor Diamond, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, Pickering Councillor Mark Holland and Oshawa coun- cillors Clare Aker, John Gray and John Neal voted against the motion to proceed with the study.

DURHAM —The questionnaires will be arriving any day now, and the answers will help define the future of Canada. Every household will be receiving a Stats Canada census questionnaire and by law they must be filled in and returned. Most of the population will receive a short list of seven de- mographic questions dealing with age, sex and marital status. The rest of the population, about 20 per cent, will receive a longer set of 59 questions dealing with education, mobility, income and employment. Farmers across Canada will also be receiv- ing a census questionnaire dealing with agri- culture issues such as land use, farm income and crops and livestock. The answers will help define the future of local services like public transit, fire and po- lice protection, subsidized housing and health care over the next five years. This year the census has a couple of new additions. There is a new two-part question on language at work and for the first time since 1971, a question on the birthplace of respon- dents’parents is included. Also in view of the legal recognition of same-sex couples, the question involving household relationships and common-law status will include two peo- ple of the same sex who live together as a cou- ple. Those who receive the census through the mail, as opposed to having someone come to their door, are asked to mail in their response by May 15. People needing a questionnaire in a differ- ent language or form, or have questions re- garding how to fill it out can call the census help line at 1-800-591-2001 between May 1 and 31 from 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 6, 2001 We’re online at durhamregion.comOttawa wants you to stand up and be counted in census DRIVER EDUCATION CENTRE ONTARIOSAFETYLEAGUE ESTABLISHED 1913 CALL TODAY AND REGISTER 426-9611 68 HARWOOD AVE.

Stupid is as stupid does, Pre- mier Mike Harris. As a parent who has stepped in to help coach a local high school rugby team, I have shown by my actions an in- terest in the subject. I can tell you that you’ve demonstrated a profound lack of understanding of what high school sports are all about. A team is all about motivation and an unmoti- vated coach cannot motivate a team. Without a motivated team, you have no team. Enough said, dream on if you think ordering teachers to provide extracurricular activities is a solu- tion to the high school teachers’ work-to-rule job action. Mike Newman, Pickering Hydro sale the latest sellout To the editor: Here we go again: Mike Harris and his great concern for the tax- payers. He recently announced our hydro is up for sale and there will be no control on how much we will have to pay. In other words he is going to let his buddies purchase our hydro which was built with our tax dol- lars and let them charge whatever they want as he doesn’t give two hoots in hell about what it is going to cost the consumer. This way he can get more funds for the Conservative Party and show us the democratic way he does things dictator-style. If the truth were known he probably already knows who the buyers are and how much it will cost. He has already screwed up most of Ontario. What else could we expect? Maybe the taxpayers will wake up next election and vote him out. Ernie Roberts Somebody should tell the Province it has won the war on welfare. You’d never know it from the way Premier Mike Harris and Social Ser- vices Minister John Baird have been carrying on over the past year or so. It’s not enough the Tories, helped by a terrific economic boom to be sure, have cut the number of welfare recipi- ents by more than half since their elec- tion in 1995. At that time, as we were coming out of a long recession, there was just over one million people on welfare, nearly 10 per cent of Ontari- ans. But month after month, the welfare rolls have shortened to the point just 437,000 Ontarians — less than the pop- ulation of Durham - received cheques out of more than 11 million Ontarians last month. Great work Mr. Harris, Mr. Baird and Janet Ecker, social services minis- ter prior to Mr. Baird. Having said that, it’s regrettable the Tories feel they have to punish that de- creasing number of welfare recipients. At one time the Province wanted to es- tablish fingerprinting to prevent welfare abuse and fraud. Later on the govern- ment brought forth a snitch line, sort of like a welfare Crime Stoppers for citi- zens to tattle on their neighbours. Recently Mr. Baird said those on welfare suspected of drug abuse would face mandatory drug testing. If they re- fused a request to be tested they would lose their benefits. If tested and they re- fused treatment, they would be cut off. Now, the Province is taking its war on welfare a step further. Not only will drug testing be part of the gauntlet re- cipients must endure but literacy testing is the new wrinkle in the welfare sham- ing program. Enough is enough! Already there are numerous rules and regulations surrounding welfare. The notion of sitting around collecting a cheque became a whole lot less at- tractive when benefits were cut 22 per cent back in 1995. Anybody on welfare at that time who has been able to find a job has since joined the workforce. We’re now getting down to the chroni- cally unemployable or those who live in parts of the province that traditionally have a higher rate of unemployment. Even in the best of times, there will al- ways be some who either can’t find or hold a job. Why bully them? Their monthly cheques barely cover food and shelter and they’re one very short step from homelessness. The Tories should shelve all these tests and use the money they’ll save for health care and job programs. That would be sensible spending.

EDITORIAL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Enough already! The welfare war has been won Literacy testing another step too far in what was successful job of reducing recipients Are you starting to wonder where your taxes are going? The Region contemplated and then turned down a request to help fund hospital capital costs, Mike Harris may make Hwy. 401 a toll road, more and more services are re- quiring user fees and oh, by the way, your taxes are going up this year. We are headed down a dangerous path where temporary tax measures are needed to pay for those things our current taxes are supposed to cover. We aren’t so naive as to be- lieve these measures will indeed be temporary. History shows politicians can’t break the dependency cycle. Apart from income tax, check out the fed’s track record on cigarettes. They make millions off a product that should by all rights be banned. But like nicotine itself, the addiction of the cash grab is too much for our government. Instead, it throws a por- tion towards anti-smoking cam- paigns so our MPs can sleep peace- fully at night. So if the trend is to implement more user fees and new tax measures the question remains, what are our current taxes going towards? Hospital spin doctors recently held a teary-eyed press conferences in an attempt win the ongoing war with the Region over taxes. They want councillors, who voted them- selves a pay raise and have now de- livered a tax increase, to approve measures to pay for capital costs. It’s yet another burden on the local tax base. General Motors says if a spe- cial hospital levy is approved it will pull its funding commitment to Lak- eridge Health Corporation. Hey, not a problem. They can just bump up our taxes to fill the void. The Province now wants to look at implementing toll roads on exist- ing highways, a common occurrence in the U.S. So, if we are hell-bent on becoming more like our neighbours to the south, then why don’t we adopt positive things like a lower sales tax? I’m not an economist, but it seems less sales taxes mean more buying power. More purchases mean more business and yes, more tax rev- enues. More business, more jobs. Our roads are deteriorating at a mind-numbing rate and we are being hit with new charges like user fees for fire departments for attending ac- cidents of non-area residents, ambu- lance fees and added costs for recre- ation. What’s next? A police officer is going to hand you a bill after he comes to your home to investigate a break and enter? Let’s remember Durham’s popu- lation base is aging and for many these additional tax burdens will not be an inconvenience, but instead a drastic drop in lifestyle.

In this story, we look at one of the new and emerging technologies within the industry, plasma converter systems. BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Looking beyond landfill to new technologies emerging in the waste management industry is the key to solving Durham’s garbage crisis, says an Ajax woman who believes she has the answers to the Region’s problems. Now that the Adams Mine proposal is of- ficially off the table here, the Region is be- ginning to search for another solution to handle the 150,000 tonnes of garbage that is disposed of in Durham each year. And, al- though the hunt for another landfill site will be part of that process, Durham is also com- mitted to supporting the development of “proven” new and emerging waste facilities, says Regional waste manager Peter Watson. Mr. Watson reports the Region is prepar- ing to issue a request for proposal (RFP) to look for another landfill site, while also ex- ploring the possibility of developing an en- ergy-from-waste facility and the feasibility of other new and emerging waste disposal methods. That’s where Donna Dickson of the Ajax-based Pearl Earth Sciences Corpora- tion enters in. Mrs. Dickson is confident her company can provide Durham with a long-term waste management solution through a process known as the plasma converter system. “We convert products that are no longer useful,” she said. “We can take all waste streams. Nothing is left over. There is no need for landfill or incineration.” According to Pearl Earth Sciences, which is the sole Canadian distributor of the Startech plasma converter, the plasma con- verter system offers the best solution for a clean and healthy environment by convert- ing hazardous and non-hazardous organic and inorganic wastes into safe valuable commodities. “The benefits from the profitable recov- ery of materials from waste and for the pre- vention of landfill expansion without the use of incineration will help to preserve the earth’s virgin resources and provide the blueprint for a truly sustainable society,” the company reports in its literature. And, although the process may sound complicated, Ms. Dickson says it’s really quite simple. “We use extremely high temperatures and it dissociates the molecules (of the waste),” she explained. The converter, which is powered by elec- tricity, uses a plasma torch that creates high temperatures that cause the waste materials — which Mrs. Dickson refers to as feed- stock — to break apart into their elemental components. “The plasma is discharged within the converter in a continuous arc of lightning- like energy than can produce temperatures in the range of 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit and higher,” states a pamphlet from the Startech Environmental Corporation in Connecticut. “When the waste materials are confronted with the in- tensity of the energy within the insulated plasma cham- ber, the excitation of the molecular bonds is so great that the waste materials dis- sociate.” But, the process doesn’t simply destroy the waste; it also produces usable prod- ucts such as recyclable met- als, a plasma-converted gas similar to natural gas, and inorganic silicates that can be used in the abrasives in- dustry or as an aggregate material for construction, Mrs. Dickson says. “From our gases we will have enough (electricity) to run our facility and sell twice as much back to the grid,” she said, adding “with the deregulation of hydro we feel we are positioned nicely.” Mrs. Dickson reports she’s been promot- ing the plasma conversion system across the private and municipal sectors for about three years now. “It’s been a long process,” she said. “It will be worthwhile if we can stop our garbage being thrown into the ground or burned... I think the public needs to know that there are alternatives.” Mrs. Dickson added, “We very much want each community to take pride in how it handles its waste.” And, she believes it’s important to begin by addressing the situation locally since Pearl Earth Sciences is locat- ed in Durham. “I followed the Pickering waste situation (Brock West Landfill)... and I knew of the money invested to get that site closed,” Mrs. Dickson says of the reason she be- came involved with plasma conversion. “I just thought there had to be something better. I thought I could be part of the solution.” Mrs. Dickson says Pearl Earth Sciences is negotiating with several municipalities and the private sector in an effort to get plasma convert- er systems up and running. In a presentation to Re- gional council last fall, she told councillors the company is proposing a plasma conversion facility on land in Northumberland that would handle about 500 tonnes of garbage a day. However, she told councillors if the land is rezoned, the company could build a facil- ity that could handle 5,000 tonnes of garbage a day. But, she admits the Northum- berland site isn’t the only location the com- pany is pursuing. Although Mrs. Dickson reports her plans are being met with enthusiasm by the private sector, there is some apprehension about the feasibility of plasma converter systems among those involved in the waste debate here in Durham. “We’re not aware of any full-scale opera- tions that process municipal waste,” Mr. Watson said, noting although there are demonstration sites around, they don’t have the capabilities to handle the amount of waste generated by municipalities. However, he reports Pearl Earth Sciences will have an opportunity to compete for the Region’s garbage. “A copy of the RFP will be forwarded to Donna Dickson and her group,” he said, not- ing the RFP process will likely take most of the year to complete. “We need to ensure the proponents have the credentials to do what you want to do... we need to plan this properly,” he said. Pickering Councillor and Durham works committee chairman Rick Johnson points out plasma conversion is “very effective” for getting rid of hazardous waste. But, he says it is “very cost prohibitive for the solid waste stream”. And, Pickering resident David Steele, who served on the Region’s citizens’ task force on waste management, says although that committee supported the development of “proven” new and emerging waste dis- posal facilities for the disposal of residual waste, there are still some problems to be ironed out with the plasma converter sys- tem. “I think that’s a key thing,” he said of the fact the committee recommended the tech- nology must be proven. “Plasma has been around for a very long time,” Mr. Steele said. “The problem is it’s very expensive at the present time.” He also pointed out, “There is not one plant operating for municipal solid waste anywhere yet.” And, he questions whether a plasma con- verter system, which can accept all types of waste, would eventually lead to a decrease in recycling and composting programs, two areas Mr. Steele believes the Region needs to focus on. However, he says the concept is a good one. “I think their heart is in the right place,” he said of Pearl Earth Sciences Corporation. “I think that would be an ideal thing 10 to 15 years down the road... the problem is it has- n’t been proven yet... I think Donna is about 10 to 15 years ahead of herself.” But, Mrs. Dickson believes the time to explore plasma converter systems is now. “It’s here now... somebody has to move this forward,” she said. “We have to leave something better for our kids... what we leave has to be better than what we’ve got now.” What a gas! Plasma converter systems emerge as promising waste management technology Ajax-based Pearl Earth Sciences Corporation is promoting the benefits of the Startech Plasma Converter, pictured above, which the company claims is the wave of the future in the waste management industry. Using a high-temperature plasma torch, waste is broken down to its elemental components. DURHAM ––The following are fre- quently asked questions on the plasma con- verter system: What is plasma? • A form of gaseous matter that conducts electricity; • Raw material of the sun and stars; • Makes up 99 per cent of all matter in the universe; • Found in the sun, lightning bolts, electric gases, aurora borealis and fluorescent lights; How the system works: • Forces gas through an electrical field to ionise the gas into a plasma that conducts electricity; • Intensity of plasma excites and breaks apart the molecular bonds; • Recycles waste into commodity prod- ucts: clean synthetic gas, metals and silicates; • Achieves volumetric reduction; and • Is safer than U.S. and Canadian environ- mental standards. Benefits of Plasma Converter Systems: • Reduces the costs and risks associated with hazardous waste generation; • Can process any and all waste materials; • Recycles wastes into valuable commod- ity products; • Provides safe and irreversible destruc- tion of even the most deadly wastes; • Converts toxic substances into harmless materials; and • Does not require garbage to be sorted.

Q&A DONNA DICKSON ‘We feel we are positioned nicely.’ Plasma NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 6, 2001 PAGE 9 P April auto sales remain steady for General Motors DURHAM —April was a good month for locally built Gen- eral Motors vehicles but the com- pany still ended with a sales de- crease. Cars and trucks built in Oshawa proved to be popular with cus- tomers last month as trucks sales jumped 6.6 per cent and car sales dropped 7.7 per cent, leading to an overall 1.5 per cent decrease. GM delivered 43,534 vehicles in April, consisting of 20,544 trucks and 22,990 cars. Sales, service and marketing vice-president Dick Conlin said several Oshawa-built vehicles had a good month in April. “The Oshawa-built Chevrolet Impala leapt to record levels last month, finishing the best-ever month just shy of the 2,000-vehi- cle mark, while another Oshawa- built car, the Buick Century, sold over 1,300 units,” he said. “We are thrilled with the continued strong sales of these core mid-sized vehi- cles in the GM stable. “General Motors’ full-size pickups and sport utilities also sold well last month, led by the ever- popular Oshawa-built Chevrolet extended cab pickup (up 19.5 per cent). It really is a built-in-Oshawa story, for April vehicle sales. ” F O C U S O N B U S I N E S S ADVERTISING FEATURE P I C K E R I N G We have been offering easy to understand computer solutions for 7 years.

ADVERTISING FEATURE Making Marriage Work - Durham Christian Fellowship hosts a series of free seminars on marriage Marriage is a beautiful experience when a couple has learned to commit them- selves fully into the relationship; this is not always an easy task, however, once he wed- ding bells have stopped chiming. Peter Wyns and Dennis Penner are teaching a series of three, free seminars at the Mcleans’s Centre in Ajax, beginning May 9, to help couples cope with the stresses of marriage and family life. The first seminar will focus on rais- ing and training children; in the second, Peter will discuss blended families and how to deal with the added stress of com- ing from different backgrounds; the third will focus on how to communicate efficient- ly with your partner and family. The semi- nars are designed to be interactive with the opportunity to receive individual advice. “Dennis and I have prepared our ses- sions to deal with couples on all levels,” says Peter. “Whether you’re planning a wedding and would like some pre-mar- riage counselling on how to always keep your marriage at the honeymoon stage, or you have been married for years and want some help bringing back a spark into your lives, these sessions will offer helpful hints and advice for everyone.” Peter has been married to his wife Joy for more than 26 years and share their lives with four beautiful children. He is the founding pastor of Niagara Community Church in Niagara Falls. Dennis is married with four children of his own. He and his wife Agnes also share their home with two foster children and are familiar with the complexities of raising children from all sorts of back- grounds, in co-operation with organiza- tions such as the Children’s Aid Society. The two have taught similar semi- nars to this in the past and have yielded extremely positive results. “Our heartfelt hope is that each person attending this seminar will walk away with a clearer view of their marriage and a few tools to make any adjustments that might be nec- essary,” said Dennis. For further information, or to regis- ter for these seminars, please call (905) 831-8596 or (905) 839-5458 and ask for Dennis or Agnes. The seminars will be held at the Mclean’s Centre May 9,16, and 23 at 8pm and are sponsored by Durham Christian Fellowship. DCF meets Sunday mornings at 10:30 at the Village Community Centre (Sherwood & Linton) Is there a legend more sustaining than that of the Phoenix? -- A magnifi- cent bird which rises from its own ashes, symbolizing triumphant rebirth and immorality. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Michael Lee’s modality, is a program of Hatha Yoga underpinned by Body/Mind psychology that may offer us a means to bring about change in our lives. Hatha Yoga has been a way to bring the body, mind, and spirit into har- mony. In developing PRYT, elements of contemporary psychology were added to create a powerful, safe and effective path to wellness and spiritual fitness. We are citizens of two worlds, the inner and the outer. True healing is a journey both inward and outward. That healing goes hand in hand with self awareness, which PRYT brings about through one-on-one assisted Yoga pos- tures, guided breathing, and non-direct- ed dialogue. PRYT practitioners advance through three levels of intense hands-on training to achieve their certifi- cation which requires hundreds of hours of effort. During a 90 minute session at Greenwood with Denis Brunke you’ll experience; assisted yoga postures, guid- ed breathing, and edge (physical sensa- tion - not pain) and while your aware- ness focuses on those sensations you’ll be invited to enter into dialogue. Rather than trying to fix something, you’ll listen to your body’s wisdom - listen without judgement or a need to change - which may help release underlying emotions, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and stress that often manifest in chronic aches and pains. Denis is a PRYT practitioner-in- training working out of the Greenwood Holistic Centre, where he recived his yoga training and inspiration in PRYT. PRYT may also be a good and sim- ply way of just breaing out of your daily rotutine and experiencing a “good stretch”, while letting someone else do the work for you.

Chase and his partner, Constable Dave Mounsteven, are featured in the documentary ‘Chase K-9 Hero’, a co- production of JAMS Productions Inc. and The New VR television station. The documentary required about a year of filming and follows Const. Mounsteven and Chase as they respond to calls and relax at home. Const. Mounsteven said Chase was fine with the filming, but was quite in- terested in the equipment. He says his family was a little overwhelmed. Chase is a five-year-old purebred German shepherd that graduated from police training before his first birthday. He is one of the seven dogs and six offi- cers who form the Durham Regional Po- lice Service’s K-9 Unit. Chase is the only “cross-trained” dog on the force, according to Const. Mounsteven. He is trained to deal with general patrol activ- ities and drug detection. Const. Mounsteven said he agreed to film the documentary to promote the K- 9 unit and its work in Durham Region. “I think it’s going to bring a lot of ex- posure for what we do,” said Const. Mounsteven, adding he thinks the show will, “clear up a lot of misconceptions”. He wants people to see what the dogs are really like and help dispel stereo- types about them being vicious. He also hopes the documentary will help promote the K-9 Unit and bring in some much-needed funds. “Times are tough,” he said. “People need to see how valuable we are to the police department. The bottom line is the dogs do a lot of good work.” The documentary shows how the dogs are trained, how they respond to calls and the bond between Const. Mounsteven and Chase, including a scene of Chase playing with Const. Mounsteven’s young son. “He lives with me, he works with me, he does everything (with me),” he said. The documentary also gives viewers a glimpse into a funeral for a fallen offi- cer,Troy, a K-9 officer who was killed in the line of duty. ‘Chase K-9 Hero’ is scheduled to air on The New VR, Mon- day, May 7 at 9 p.m. P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, May 6, 2001 TV crews Chase Durham officer Show documents life of K-9 constables Durham Regional Police Constable Dave Mounsteven and partner Chase.

The Quickfit system combines cardio and strength training in a circuit that is completed in 30 minutes. Members will alternate upper body strength training exercises with aerobic recovery stations followed by lower body exercises. Your target heart rate, crucial for weight loss, is maintained while you perform strength training. This is possible because the Quickfit system is based on hydraulic resistance. Hydra ulics use a cylinder where a piston will move fluid and the movement is more controlled - and there are no weight stacks to manage or change. The safe, accommodating resistance keeps you moving smoothly and safely around the circuit. It’s the hydraulic resistance that makes the Quickfit system safe for older women and women with health concerns such as arthritis. There are no classes or schedules to be concerned about. Members can come to the club at a time which fits their schedules. They simply start the circuit and the music will cue them when it’s time to change stations and when to check their heart rate. And the music makes it fun! The Quickfit system enables even the busiest women to get a complete workout. This is the only system that combines cardio and strength training in 30 minutes. With conventional equipment, members would need to work out 90 minutes to achieve comparable results. This is a real benefit for women who believe they don’t have enough time to exercise. Let Curves help you get into shape I have lost 54 lbs, 38 inches & gone from size 24 to 12! damaged and I was a cardiac arrest waiting to happen. It’s been over a year now since I joined Curves.

As more and more older adults find themselves owning computers, more and more courses are being offered to help seniors learn how to oper- ate the technology. And often, those courses are offered at a discount for re- tired people who wish to learn. “All of our courses are open to seniors,” said Jan Burnett, computer studies program of- ficer in Durham College’s con- tinuous learning department, where seniors are given a break on the cost. But the classes aren’t necessarily geared specifically to the older crowd, noted Ms. Burnett. “We tried setting up courses specifically designed for se- niors, but it didn’t go over that well. It seemed like we were trying to segregate them. Now, they come into general courses with everyone else,” said Ms. Burnett, adding the “age range is about 19 to 80,” though there is certainly no limit. “We’ve had people in here who are 80 or 85 years old,” she said. Mary Lou Naccarato, of Nacc’s Office World in Bow- manville, offers free Internet classes to the senior set at Clarington’s Older Adult Cen- tre, as well as cut-rate comput- er use for seniors at her King Street store. She says in some cases, she starts “right from the absolute beginning, right from holding the mouse”.

In many cases, the In- ternet “is more secure than going to a restaurant, or a gas station, and giving them a credit card number.” It’s largely a matter of get- ting used to the technology, says Ms. Burnett. “Their biggest stumbling block is getting the comfort level there,” she noted, adding instructors spend a fair amount of time telling stu- dents, “You can’t break it, relax.” That was one thing it took Bowmanville resident Fred Martin a while to get used to. The 68-year-old has had a computer for a some time, but when he got a new one, he de- cided he needed a little addi- tional help, so he approached Ms. Naccarato. She was able to help him get more comfortable, and even launch a Web site for a charitable organization with which he volunteers. “I’m always afraid I’m going to lose everything I had on there,” said Mr. Martin of his computer. But classes with Ms. Nac- carato have “instilled confi- dence that it’s actually very hard to lose stuff”.

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

One of the components of the legislation causing the greatest con- cern is a move to allow employers to create a 60-hour workweek with- out requiring prior permission from the Ministry of Labour. On Dec. 20, Bill 147, the Em- ployment Standards Act 2000, re- ceived third reading in the provin- cial parliament, updating the old rules governing the relationship be- tween employers and employees. The legislation has received both praise and criticism among busi- ness and union sectors as the regu- lations of the bill, expected to be complete by the end of summer, are created. “The government basically ham- mered this through. It was passed last December without any public input,” says Wayne Samuelson, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour, an organization repre- senting more than half a million of the province’s workers. “Our biggest challenge has been to make sure people know about this. The problem is the government just hammered the legislation through. The law might not directly affect union members but we all have kids. And all issues end up on the bargaining table. It’s only a matter of time until our employer says ‘we need this too’.” One of the bill’s most vocal crit- ics, Mr. Samuelson says the bill is “incredibly unpopular” with work- ers the federation has surveyed. “People don’t think it’s right to go back to a 60-hour workweek. We should be looking at shorter hours.” But Durham MPP John O’Toole suggests the spectre of a mandatory 60-hour workweek is just one of many misconceptions surrounding the new legislation. “There has been a fairly concert- ed effort to confuse people about what it does and does not do,” he says. Mr. O’Toole released a fact sheet on the legislation in which he states, “Bill 147 does not propose a mandatory 60-hour workweek. Under this legislation, employees retain all rights to refuse work in excess of 48 hours per week but may agree in writing to work more than 48 hours per week, up to a maximum of 60 hours. This legisla- tion simply matches workplace laws with the way we live and work today.” Under current employment laws, employers already have the right to create a maximum 60-hour workweek, but only after obtaining a permit from the government to do so. The new legislation, according to the Ministry of Labour, is aimed to give employers and their workers “the ability to arrange flexible work hours,” by taking the government out of the process. Roger Alexander, president of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, believes the new act won’t change the rights of workers but will re- move a tremendous amount of ad- ministrative red tape for business. The labour permit system is “quite an onerous process,” which “I don’t think really protected the employee anyway,” he says. As vice-president and general manager of Siemans Canada Ltd., a large corporation based in Ajax, Mr. Alexander notes his company has an employee who spends a “few hours a week” just to keep track of the permits for employees who opt for longer work days when they travel on business. Even requests by employees themselves who want to work flex- hours sometimes need to be ad- dressed under the permit system, he points out. Still, Mr. Samuelson believes re- moving the permit system could threaten workers’ rights, especially those not represented by a union and future employees who could be hired based on their agreement to work longer hours. “Anything over 48 hours, the worker has to agree in writing,” he says. But, “in a non-union work- place if you don’t agree to work you know as well as I do what will happen.” Mr. Samuelson also raises con- cern over provisions that allow overtime to be averaged over a four- week period instead of one week. This allows employers more flexibility to schedule more hours during a busy week without paying overtime as long as the hours aver- age out over the four-week period. He is also concerned about new provisions to allow vacations to be portioned out one day at a time ver- sus the traditional one-week blocks. While the government suggests this is a move to allow more flexibility for employees, Mr. Samuelson is skeptical. “For somebody who works in a small company where it’s slow on Tuesdays in February they could be told you better apply for holidays then,” he suggests. The legislation, he adds, as- sumes “an equal relationship” be- tween employer and employee. That, he says, is simply not a work- place reality. But Mr. O’Toole contends there are new provisions within the legis- lation that definitely protect em- ployees from that type of coercion. These scenarios are prevented by very strict “anti-reprisal” provi- sions within the legislation, includ- ing increased fines for employers who disregard the intent of the bill, he says. More investigators will be hired and repeat offenders would face stiff fines and even possible jail terms, according to the MPP’s fact sheet. As well, a mandatory posting of employee rights information and a toll-free complaint line will re- spond to anonymous tips, says Mr. O’Toole. Ruben Benmergui, president of the Durham chapter of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA), says he believes these measures will protect employees. He says the addition of “employ- ment referees” and a structure which allows employees to file a complaint directly without legal as- sistance provide accessibility for all Ontario workers. The new legislation, he says, “modernizes” the act. “It puts it in plain English and adds a measure of protection for both sides.”Although some business associations are giv- ing the legislation the thumbs up, there is still an air of caution among others. Des Newman, chairman of the Durham Region Manufacturers Association (DRMA), says he has some concern about the changes, the biggest being his members have little knowledge of them. “Some- thing needs to go on the agenda at the DRMA,” he says. “There are a number of issues companies need to be aware of. Although this (bill) is proclaimed, some of the regula- tions are still being formulated and the association is looking for feed- back. There are a number of things worthy of note.” The increase in fines for break- ing the principles of the act should be of concern to businesses, he says, given that many business owners and managers are unaware of the legislation and could unwit- tingly break the law. A severe penalty could be enough to jeopar- dize the financial stability of a small company, Mr. Newman sug- gests. “When the changes go in, they have — across the industry — an impact. There is the necessity of ed- ucating the (business) community. It becomes very important.” One potentially detrimental change created by the new legisla- tion for some companies, particu- larly small businesses, is the ex- tended parental leave, suggests Mr. Newman. The new parental leave regulations have already come into effect and allow parents to share up to one full year of parental leave following the birth of a baby. The leave can be taken by either parent. “If there are 20 people in the com- pany and two are out (on parental leave), that is 10 per cent of the workforce,” he points out. “Many, many of these provi- sions impact smaller, as opposed to larger companies. There are areas where it has to make distinctions. Several of these provisions get an inequity in situations which are probably not intended (but) it is dif- ferent in impact,” says Mr. New- man. In fact, there are provisions which acknowledge the differences between small and large businesses in some cases and that worries Mr. Samuelson. One component of the legislation could give workers in companies with more than 50 em- ployees job protection if they take unpaid sick leave for up to 10 days a year for family illness. The legis- lation does not address employees of smaller companies. That, says Mr. Samuelson, is un- fair to the majority of Ontario workers. “What kind of society needs a law to allow workers to take an un- paid day off when their kids are sick? What if the company has 49 employees, then can you be fired? The vast majority, at least 90 per cent, of companies have less than 50 employees,” he adds. Meanwhile in other sectors of the business community, the jury is still out on exactly what the impact of the new legislation will be. Wayne Clarke, president of the Durham Homebuilders’ Associa- tion, says his industry is awaiting the writing of the legislation to see if exemptions provided for home- builders to allow extended work- weeks under the old act will still apply. “There are still ongoing meet- ings for the exemptions,” he says, noting the construction industry is reliant on the weather and requires the flexibility allowed under the old act.
