And president Gary Polonsky says the first Ontario Institute of Technology (OIT) student should walk through the door in Septem- ber, 2003. The announcement ended 12 years of campaigning by Mr. Polonsky, who still remembers the moment when the dream began. “It was when a parent came to see me one morning with tears in his eyes because he had to tell his daughter the night before he and his wife could not afford to send her to the University of Windsor,” he said in an interview Thursday. “I thought, ‘that’s unfair’.” Mr. Polonsky has campaigned throughout Durham on the need for the university, a new kind of facility inextricably linked to the existing college, with the same board of governors presiding over both. The goal, he said, is to produce graduates who are “a combina- tion of doers and thinkers”, equipped with both the knowl- edge and the practical skills to meet the challenges of a world where technology, and applying it, is king. The OIT, said Mr. Polonsky, will be the equivalent of adding a facility the size of Brock Univer- DURHAM –There was one particular piece of good news in the Ontario budget for Durham Col- lege president Gary Polonsky – funding for a new university in the region. Mr. Polonsky (left) and Ontario Finance Minister Jim Flaherty went over the document during a post-budget breakfast in Whitby Thursday morning.

Kevin Edward MacPherson, 41, was arrested Friday by Kingston City Police, who were acting on a tip. He has since been returned to Joyceville Prison, from which he was released in March. A warrant was issued when he failed to report to Oshawa. Durham Regional Police are also seeking the public’s help in tracking down Daniel Cantwell, known as a heavy drinker who has a criminal history that includes manslaughter, assault, break and enter, theft and parole violations. Police consider Mr. Cantwell a serious risk to the public. He was paroled from Portsmouth Centre in April but failed to report to offi- cials in Toronto. He has family liv- ing in Oshawa and frequents local and Toronto bars, police say. He is described as white, 5- foot-7, 176 pounds, with blue eyes, brown hair and a receding hairline. He wears silver-rimmed glasses. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579- 1520, ext. 5357, or Crime Stoppers at 905-436-TIPS.

Pickering Jobs Fair Metro East Trade Centre 1899 Brock Road Pickering, Ontario May 16 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––In a tearful plea, the mother of slain security guard Roy Jones yesterday urged anyone with information about the case to display the courage her son showed in life and help police capture the cowards responsi- ble for his death. The key prosecution witness in an upcom- ing home invasion robbery trial was gunned down just steps from his Ajax residence on Feb. 4, three days before he was scheduled to testify at a preliminary hearing in the court case. Durham Regional Police won’t say whether the murder was linked to his role in the case, and three months later they’ve yet to make an arrest. Although detectives say the investiga- tion is continuing to progress, they’re hopeful the public may be able to provide a break in the case. With her husband Alty Jones by her side, a weeping Carmen Jones pleaded for witnesses to come forward to police,as her son had in the past. “He was my eldest son who I loved dear- ly. He was a kind, caring and loving son who was never in any kind of trouble,” said Mrs. Jones. “If anyone has seen or heard anything pertaining to his death we plead with you to come forward and share this information with the authorities, because I would not want any other parent to go through the pain or suffering I am going through,” said Mrs. Jones as she wiped tears from her eyes during a news con- ference at Durham Regional Police headquar- ters in Oshawa. Mr. Jones, 28, was confronted by one or more gunmen while walking home from work. He was chased down and shot several times on Pickering Beach Road, just a few feet from his family’s Twilley Lane home. His parents found him lying across the roadway, where he died. The killers fled on foot. “She (Mrs. Jones) obviously has a desire to seek justice,” said Durham homicide squad Detective Rolf Kluem, who along with his partner Detective Dave Henderson is leading a 14-officer team assigned to the case. Det. Kluem said police received assistance from local residents early in the probe, but he believes there are others “within our commu- nity and the greater southern Ontario area that have information” that could help. “We need all of the information that is out there in the community to assist us in making a proper determination as to the persons re- sponsible for this crime,” said Det. Kluem. Police are particularly interested in any “post-offence activities,” he said. Mr. Jones, the eldest of three brothers who grew up in Oshawa, worked closely with po- lice and was well respected by officers who knew him through his work as the head of se- curity at the Metro East Trade Centre in Pick- ering. As reported earlier, it was through his posi- tion Mr. Jones also had become a crucial Crown witness in the upcoming home invasion trial. Police don’t feel he was a victim of a ran- dom act, “but rather the target of person or per- sons specifically intending to harm him,” said Det. Kluem. “He was a witness in a case that is still in front of the courts. All avenues of investigation are being pursued... beyond that I can’t really comment.” On June 15, 2000, a 47-year-old Pickering woman and her 20-year-old son were bound with duct tape and handcuffed by three masked men, one armed with a handgun, who forced their way into the residence. A 25-year-old suspect, who was later ar- rested in Whitby, has been ordered to stand trial on charges of robbery with a handgun, break and enter to commit an indictable of- fence, forcible confinement, wearing a dis- guise with intent to commit an indictable of- fence and using a stolen credit card. A publication ban on evidence was im- posed at the preliminary hearing.

Councillors voted 4-3 to change the current meeting structure from the present executive committee, which meets every two weeks and reports to council twice a month, to one that in- cludes separate committees responsi- ble for planning, operations and fi- nance. “What we have here is not a change in governance. It is a critical change in how we communicate with staff,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, who led the charge to reform the current system, which he claims is not working well. “It will not change public access.” Coun. Holland argued the change is being made in an effort to improve communication with staff and create a more open and informal process for the public. His motion to change the committee structure was supported by Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean and Ward 3 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson. But, opponents of the plan, includ- ing several members of the public who attended Monday’s meeting, believe the changes will actually limit public access to local government. “I find it sad the first item of sig- nificance this new council deals with is a matter to take away evening exec- utive committees,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles, who op- posed the new structure along with Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan and Mayor Wayne Arthurs. Under the motion approved Mon- day, planning committee meetings will be held in the evening as will the other committee meetings if they are addressing an issue of public interest. Otherwise the operations and finance meetings will be held during the day. Councillors will be able to sit on as many as two committees and will re- ceive additional pay based on their at- tendance. That additional pay will be limited to $2,500 for each committee per year. So, the maximum amount councillors could receive would be an additional $5,000 on top of their cur- rent $20,000 salaries. The maximum cost of the addition- al remuneration to the City is $37,000 a year. Pickering will also set up a stake- holders group to gain input on the issue from the public during a three- month transition period, which begins June 1. The new format won’t come into effect until the fall. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner, who suggested the cre- ation of a stakeholders group, said the process represents the first time the public will have any input into the procedural direction adopted by coun- cil.

BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Regional councillors are heading north next week to try and hammer out an agreement on the future structure of governance in Durham. And, given the fact area municipali- ties have been reluctant to work together in studying the issue over the past year, it’s likely councillors will engage in a heated debate as they attempt to formu- late a plan for the Region’s future. Regional repre- sentatives will travel to the Pine- stone Resort in Haliburton on Wednesday night where they’ll stay until Friday after- noon to discuss “governance, gov- ernance, gover- nance,” said Durham Chairman Roger Anderson. He reported representatives from all munici- palities are partici- pating in the re- treat and he’s also hoping the 28 Re- gional councillors from Durham’s eight member mu- nicipalities can reach a consensus on restructuring. “I hope council comes back with some service re- alignments and some efficiencies the Province will look at that says we’re doing the right thing,” he said in an inter- view Wednesday, adding he also hopes councillors will review the size of council when they meet next week. “These are the things the govern- ment wants us to deal with.” The gover- nance issue has been a topic of de- bate here since Durham council- lors voted in Janu- ary 2000, during a retreat at the Fern Resort near Oril- lia, to support a “slimmed down” Regional govern- ment that would act as an agent of the lower-tier mu- nicipalities. It was also at that point that councillors set a deadline of June 30, 2001 to reach a consensus on the governance issue and to submit a re- port to the Province. But, there has been little in the way of consensus from municipalities here about how best to proceed with examining the issue in recent months. The municipalities of Pickering and Oshawa joined last year to hire a con- sulting firm to conduct a review of the possible governance options for the Re- gion. However, the Region and the other six municipalities here declined to par- ticipate in that study, opting instead to conduct their own reviews. Mr. Anderson said whatever recom- mendations are adopted next week will come back to the Region in June for ap- proval. They will then be circulated to local municipalities with the goal of re- porting to the Province during the first week of July, following the Region’s final council meeting before the summer recess, he said. The retreat is expected to cost rough- ly $6,000, Mr. Anderson noted.

I have been a resident of Pickering for over 16 years and have, like other residents, had to endure the widening of Hwy. 401, the Brock West landfill site, the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station and all its ‘little spills’, in addition to the threat of an inter- national airport. Now the 88,000 residents of our city are told we could have to put up with the con- struction of a water pipeline that will not benefit the city. This pipeline will cause major traffic chaos for the immediate residents and the over 100,000 vehicles that pass Whites Road during morning rush hour each day. Even though we have been assured the tunnelling will be underground, there still will be construction vehicle traffic along the route causing traffic congestion. Further- more, there are a considerable amount of school children who make their way to school each day in the area, which presents a serious safety concern for each and every one of them. From a health concern standpoint, the in- creased dust and dirt from the construction will seriously affect people like myself who suffer from severe asthma, not to mention the decrease in property values during the duration of the construction. I ask Janet Ecker to please address the concerns of the people she represents in an effort to stop this project before it goes any further. We don’t need compensation, a re- vitalized park, ‘ransom’road improvements or any compromises. We don’t want this project to go ahead. Now is the time for you to do your part.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 11, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com For years man was king of his own domain. Whether it be a grand castle or a simple mud hut, he was still the main focal point within that structure. All activities had to go through him for his approval. Any guidance given by him was always accepted because he was always right. This ancient ritual went on for thousands of years. So what happened in the last 30 years? If you look at the world timeline it barely measures a grain of sand, but to us men who are try- ing to raise families now, it’s a life- time sentence. Men were made to be rough and tough. We were meant to get dirty and then brag to our buddies about how we pushed our bodies to the limit and survived. We’re supposed to consume large quantities of food, not prepare it. We’re sup- posed to dirty dishes and some- times even break dishes but, never wash dishes (unless they’re dispos- able). Men were supposed to pro- vide children and a home and then stand proudly in front of them for all to see. There was a time when conception was the beginning and ending of fatherhood. Nowadays, a man’s parental duties can drag on for 20 or 30 years (sometimes more). We are challenged daily. It is a modern day battle of the sexes. Un- fortunately, I think men are losing their edge. How many times have we men finished a conversation with those famous new-era words, “It sounds good to me, but I’ll have to check with my wife first.” Today’s society has forced men to ask some very difficult questions such as, “How do I get this grease stain out of my shirt?” or “I can’t watch the game tonight because I’m helping the kids with their homework.” Women have been working on us diligently for the past 30 years. Most of us refer to it as being hen- pecked, but that was just the smokescreen women sent out to cover up what was really going on. The male stature (not to mention ego) has slowly been eroded away to the point that it is today. I can’t use the word ‘conspiracy’ for fear of hormonal reprisal, but I can tell you this much. Did you really think they were playing bingo all those times? Let’s be honest. It’s the per- fect venue for a large gathering of headstrong women. Now is the time we men must unite, stand together, fight back, get organized, uh oh, hold on a sec- ond. I gotta’ go. If I don’t get the softener in before the spin cycle, I’ll be kicked out of our castle right past the mud hut and into the dog- house! The king has been henpecked out of the building Jim Flaherty, you’ve made Durham proud! The finance minister, who doubles as Whitby-Ajax MPP, clear- ly remembered his roots Wednesday in announcing a brand new university for Durham. And what a great name: the Ontario Insti- tute of Technology (after the legendary university in the United States, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The $60-million investment completes many years of hard slog- ging by Durham College president Gary Polonsky, who lobbied long and loud for a combined college/university at the Oshawa campus. Credit also goes to the staff members who worked with Mr. Polonsky, those alumni and generous people who believe in the college to the tune of over $10 million in contributions for ‘Creating Futures’. Let’s not forget the municipal councils, which got behind Durham and donated funds to the cause, the Region which backed it all the way, and our local MPPs who, no doubt, lobbied at Queen’s Park to further the goal of getting a university here. Ladies and gentlemen, you can all take a bow. Still, it really does come back to the dynamic Mr. Polonsky. This really is his baby, the crowning achievement in more than a decade of leadership at Durham College. Year after year Mr. Polon- sky strives to improve the way the institute is run, increasing ap- plications, programs and students at the college, while keeping a close eye on the bottom line. Durham has proved to the Province nobody does it better when getting the most out of education grants. Students and employers have rated Durham at or near the top in satisfaction ratings over the years. Clearly, Mr. Polonsky and his staff have proven they are ready for the next step. They earned it. But the final decision fell on the desks of Premier Mike Harris and Mr. Flaherty. The finance minister obviously heard the argu- ments in support of a high-tech university in Durham and listened. Mr. Harris was persuaded the idea made sense and that, with twice as many high school graduates looking for post-secondary institu- tions in September 2003, the time for implementation is now. Mr. Polonsky’s longtime plan is coming together and is now ready to go. Durham will now have a university for the 21st century, a gem for local young people to attend and succeed at. They’ll have the op- tion of college and university courses or a mix of both. What could be better? The budget also promises the long-awaited Hwy. 407 link to Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington. Needless to say, the sooner this is com- pleted the better for us all. The 401 gridlock through west Durham during rush hours is costing us all. The Tories understand this and are doing something about it. Bravo! Jeff Renaud Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Best ever day for Durham Region?

As well, Mr. Fla- herty’s first budget as minister pledged $26 million over four years for the safety and security of abused women and their children in Ontario, including a women’s shelter in Ajax-Pickering. “Yesterday was probably the greatest budget in the history of Durham Region,” he told the as- sembly of business people, politi- cians and other local notables. “We fought hard for Durham,” he said of local MPPs, suggesting that between 1980 and 1995, when the Tories were not in power, that advocacy was not there. “It’s well- deserved. We’re a high-growth area, one of the fastest-growing areas in Canada.” Tax cuts continue to be corner- stones of the provincial govern- ment and Mr. Flaherty had a ready answer for opposition critics who say they represent lost revenue that should be spent on health care. “That’s not the choice in On- tario,” he said. “The choice is be- tween a vibrant economy and a stagnant economy. You have to have that kind of stimulus in the economy. Everybody recognizes that, except our opposition in On- tario.” Mr. Flaherty said the govern- ment’s tax cut agenda has in fact resulted in added revenue for the Province, more than $15 billion since 1995. Also, since the govern- ment came to power, business in- vestment in the province is up 66 per cent, more than 800,000 net new jobs have been created, and the gross domestic product has in- creased by 25 per cent, he said. There are two problems in the health-care sector, he told the audi- ence: the big issue of reforming the health-care system in the coun- try, and “the spiralling costs of health care” faced by governments across the country. He has called on federal Fi- nance Minister Paul Martin to spend part of the $20-billion gov- ernment surplus on health care, to cover 50 per cent of the increased health-care spending by the provinces. But it’s not just a question of money solving our health-care woes, said Mr. Flaherty. He called on all MPPs to engage their com- munities in the discussion of how to improve the system. At the same time, the government plans to bring a “common sense” business approach to health care by consult- ing with health professionals and mandating that hospitals balance their budgets each year. The Province has also pledged $250 million for inter-regional transit in the GTA to help address gridlock. “Lots of the municipalities are running transit services, but we need to do a much better job... of integrating these transit systems across the regions,” said Mr. Fla- herty. “The purpose of all of this is a recognition by the Province that we have to address economic growth and quality of life at the same time.” In an interview after the speech, Mr. Flaherty was asked about the most controversial aspect of the budget, partial tax credits for par- ents with children attending pri- vate schools. The Province will phase in credit rates over five years, to apply to the first $7,000 of tuition fees. The move has sparked outrage amongst those who fear it is the beginning of the disintegration of the public school system, which critics say is already under-funded. “I’d be outraged too if we were taking money out of the public school system; we’re not,” Mr. Fla- herty responded. Education spending is up $360 million this year, said Mr. Flaherty, “more than matching enrolment growth,” and assisting private school parents is a question of fair- ness. “Ontario is a more diverse place than it was 20 years ago,” he said, noting more than half of the province’s roughly 100,000 private school students are in religious in- stitutions. “These are not rich people. These are middle-class people. They’re paying their taxes for the public education system,” he said. The tax credit is capped at $3,500, said Mr. Flaherty, noting private school tuition fees range from $15,000 to $20,000.

MPP Jerry Ouellette was ill and couldn’t attend a post-budget breakfast meeting hosted by Mr. Flaherty. Durham university gets go-ahead sity to the Durham College site. By the end of this decade, he en- visions the combined university and college with about 15,000 full-time students and more than 50,000 part-timers. The college-university staff complement will almost double, he estimates, from 1,000 existing employees to roughly 1,750. The college already has two student residences, and he sees a third one being built buy 2003. The benefits to Durham Re- gion will be substantial, said Mr. Polonsky: an estimated $2 billion in spin-offs in areas such as pur- chasing opportunities. The name of the facility was chosen for two specific reasons, he said. ‘Ontario’ recognizes that the university is a resource for the whole province, while the rest of the moniker, not by accident, echoes the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. “Our vision is to become the MIT of Canada,” he said. “Boston has its MIT, we’re going to have our OIT.” And while he admitted it might sound “presumptuous” to com- pare MIT, with roughly 13 Nobel Prize laureates, to a facility with no students yet, Mr. Polonsky said he and his staff are up to the chal- lenge. “I will just say to the skeptics, ‘come back in 50 years’,” he said. On his travels over the years speaking to boards of trade and others in Durham Region, Mr. Polonsky would say Durham is big enough for a university, point- ing to the many universities west of Toronto and encouraging resi- dents to press their MPPs. “We felt we were being left out,” he said. That feeling of being a little sister to the rest of the GTA ended in a big way with the budget an- nouncement. Mr. Polonsky re- ceived a standing ovation from the audience at Thursday morn- ing’s 2001 Provincial Budget Breakfast, held at the AMC The- atre and Conference Complex in Whitby. Mr. Polonsky said while get- ting married and the birth of his children top his list, this week’s announcement counts as “one of the top 10 moments in my life”. If it opens on schedule, the On- tario Institute of Technology will first admit students in the year of the double cohort, when Grade 12 and OAC students graduate in the same year, creating an expected large increase in the number of post-secondary students. In his budget speech, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty described the university as “an exciting new venture in post-secondary educa- tion. “The OIT will focus on provid- ing students with a seamless tran- sition among college and univer- sity programs,” he said. “It will provide one-stop shop- ping for students looking for a mix of academic and hands-on experience.” DURHAM from page 1 Budget highlights ✘$60 million to help create the Ontario Institute of Technology at Durham College, offering both college diplomas and uni- versity degrees. ✘$293 million more for col- leges and universities; ✘$1.2 billion more for health care; ✘Final portion of 20-per-cent cut in personal income tax ar- riving in January 2002; ✘Tax credit of up to $3,500 per child per year for parents with children in private schools by the end of five years; ✘$55 million more this year for people with developmental dis- abilities; ✘Legislation to reduce the cor- porate income tax rate to eight per cent by 2005.

After Earth Week, community newspa- pers across Canada featured local volun- teers participating in litter pickups. This activity of gathering misplaced resources can draw any number of volunteers to clean out river beds, culverts, school yards, and parks. Often, individuals who are not associated with a group, will walk their neighbourhood with a couple of bags pick- ing up litter as their Earth Day contribu- tion. Although gathering bags of debris is wonderful, it is only doing half the job if the connection has not been made to sepa- rate the recyclable cans from the straws. For over two hours recently, two senior kindergarten students, a few Grade 2 and 3 students and their parents from Rosebank Road Public School in Pickering tackled the area at the foot of Dyson Road and down towards the Rouge River. This informal group had the foresight to separate as they collected, yielding eight bags of recyclable materials and six bags of garbage. The children were amazed that there were more recyclables than garbage and wondered why people would not just take them home to their own blue boxes. It took a new family to the neighbourhood to ini- tiate this cleanup, noting the area is a dis- grace to the people who live there. The environmental club at Fairport Beach Public School gathered just one bag of litter around their school, and teacher Mrs. Givens took out the beverage contain- ers for recycling. Many students at Dunbarton High School were out in full force as well. More than 50 bags of litter were gathered. Many of the bags contained everything, however by the end of the day some recyclables were captured. It takes no more effort for the person who is holding a bag to indicate that he or she is only collecting cans and plastic bottles; paper; boxboard and card- board; or glass. Even scruffy paper and or- ganics can be collected separately for com- posting. Our blue box has been here since 1987, yet 13 years later it is still an embarrass- ment the parks departments’ of our com- munities do not have the budget to take that extra step to hire more people so that they can separate recyclables. Also, more public education, together with recycling bins, should be located in our parks and at retail malls where, I would estimate, ap- proximately 90 per cent of public trash is recyclable. The children at Rosebank Road P.S. proved that over half our litter is recyclable and it is time our leaders forcefully tackle this issue.

A popular way to carry books and lunches but when used improperly can cause serious neck and shoulder problems. “Children are carrying very heavy backpacks on one shoulder,” says Sharon. “This is causing headaches and upper back pain.” She says children should use both shoulder straps to even out the weight and try their best to lighten their load by carrying only essential books.” Of course women with large purses have the same problems and it’s suggest- ed they switch shoulders and carry less items. “Men also have posture problems when carrying thick wallets in their back pockets,” says Sharon. “When they sit they’re slanted to one side and that can cause spinal problems.” Right now the centre is holding a contest for children from Grades 4 to 6. They want you to create a picture depict- ing good posture with the top prize being a mountain bike. The Pickering Chiropractic Centre is Music is a simple pleasure but a complex creation. It’s a creative journey that begins with a vision shaped by sound. Jim Morgan is an award winning producer and composer who has worked in the music industry for more than 30 years. Starting in the commercial jingle business in Toronto he worked for many major studios including RCA where he was their Chief Engineer. He’s won a Juno award for engi- neering the 1998 recording of Faith Chorale and received four Juno nominations for albums produced in 1999. Jim also received an Emmy award for audio production for the cartoon series “Beetlejuice”. He has worked with many artists including Jeff Hyslop of Phantom of the Opera fame, David Warrack, Moe Koffman and Guido Basso. After many years working in the city, Jim created Acrobat Music and built a state of the art recording studio in his Pickering home. This impressive facility is always busy and currently has book- ing through June. “Our business has increased 10 times since we started in 1984,” says Jim. While professional musicians and singers take advantage of Jim’s talents and his superior studio, he also offers studio time for those want- ing to make an individual song recording as a gift or just for themselves. As a special musical note, Jim’s partner Rena Gaile performs every Thursday night from 7 to 10 p.m. at the 180° Restaurant.

Producer and Composer Jim Morgan BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Two of the most overcrowded public schools in Durham Region are seeking a spot on the public school board’s next accommodation plan, a list of schools that most need ad- ditions to cope with rising student populations and out- dated facilities. At Monday night’s Durham District School Board standing committee meeting, trustees heard three requests for school additions and improvements from Pickering and Ajax schools. Near the end of this year, the board will unveil a new, five-year, system-wide ac- commodation and improve- ment plan. “We have the notorious distinction of being No. 1,” John McCracken, chairman of the Lakeside Public School addition committee, told trustees. “Lakeside PS has the greatest number of portables out of your 100 elementary schools. “On average Lakeside has been approximately three times the ministry- rated capacity. For the past 12 years, there have been more students in portables than in the school building.” He said plans for an addi- tion at the Ajax school were drawn up 10 years ago and asked the board to make it “one of your first priorities in the next accommodation plan”. Lakeside PS has 12 porta- bles and a student population of about 590 students. With 23 portables and 1,764 pupils, “tension in the halls and violent incidents have increased” at Pickering High School in Ajax, school council chairman John Barr said. The school is in desperate need of an addition for sev- eral reasons, he told trustees. Hallways are very crowded, one portable is 70 metres from the main building, and a common lunch means one gym has to be utilized, im- pacting on intramurals. There are not enough sci- ence rooms, the music room is too small, the technology rooms have reached their limit and the lack of space is having an impact on the pro- vision of programs. “When comparing the Pickering HS facility to other schools in Ajax and throughout the (board), Pickering HS has the most overcrowded conditions with the fewest facilities to house our students, staff and supporting staff properly,” said Mr. Barr. He said it’s “upsetting” for the school community that Ajax High School, with fewer students, recently re- ceived a major upgrade. Pickering HS also requires a big addition, including a new wing of classrooms, said Mr. Barr. “I’ve been at your school several times and I know everything you say is true,” said Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford. “I will certainly be support- ing your efforts.” Also seeking a place in the accommodation plan is Pickering’s Rosebank Road Public School. Gail Lawlor, who spoke on behalf of the Rosebank Road school com- munity, notes the school’s lack of a decent gym has im- pacted upon everything from school sports to plays and other productions. “Our students are using an inadequate gymnasium that has no change facilities, is at least 60 feet from the only washroom and, most importantly, is less than half the current regulation size of 4,000 square feet,” said Ms. Lawlor. A tiny gym means senior students have to go outside for any activities involving running or space such as basketball and volleyball, or go to another school. As well, the school community has tried every method pos- sible to make sure parents can see concerts and other festive occasions held in the gym, but without success, said Ms. Lawlor. “No matter how we orga- nize it, each special event re- sults in many parents jammed in the hallway, cran- ing their necks to see, or not attending at all and missing the performance,” she said. Ms. Lawlor said the school needs a new, larger gym. She suggested convert- ing the existing gym into music and art rooms, another pressing need, while adding new space to the facility. Pickering Trustee Jen- nifer Bridge, a Rosebank graduate, said she remem- bered the crowded condi- tions at the school. “Absolutely I support your need to be accommo- dated and I certainly hope you’re in the plan,” she said.

Linda Lowery, the public board’s substance abuse and community li- aison, presented a plaque to Ms. Sc- ahill recognizing her work with the public board in de- veloping and de- livering programs such as the Values Influences Peers program and Rac- ing Against Drugs. “Diana’s life revolves around children, both in- side and outside the classroom,” said Ms. Lowery. “I feel very humbled,” said Ms. Scahill. “I re- ally have valued the partnership with the Durham District School Board. It’s never been hard to do; it’s been very easy.” Doctors claim walking is the BEST exercise you can do. Why not invest in a pair of ProWalkers by Rockport with Patented Support System.

Also could you educate me on wool rugs in general? Solution: Sheep molt, thus all wool products shed, so yes it is absolutely normal for your new rug to cast off minor tuffs of wool. However this is not a bad thing, allow me to explain the manufacturing process in rug making. • First the wool is washed, carded (brushed), spun, dyed and finally dried. • Next the yarn is ready to be woven. There are a variety of knot types each creating a different fin- ished product. After each row of knots is completed, one or more weft threads are inserted to secure the knots and are beaten down tightly with a comb. • Finally at this stage, the pile ends are cut level with a pair of scissors. The alteration of wefts with rows of tied knots is repeated until the carpet is finished. When the rug arrives at your home, some of the loose yarns ease and work their way to the surface and rest on the carpet. Producing the tufts you’ve noticed. These tufts of yarn will gradually crease in time. Leaving behind all the advantages of why you’ve purchased a wool run in the first place: • Because wool is a natural product, it has oils within that withstand stains and repel soiling. • Wool rugs are knot- ted closely (approx. 300 knots/square inch) together making for a stronger con- struction. • Wool products are an investment that can be handed down for genera- tions to come. Not a bad trade off if you ask me. Charmaine Wynter is a Certified Interior Decorator and the Owner of Wynter Interiors Decorating Services. She can be reached at (905) 420-0040.

And if there are young children involved, you need to provide them with lots of space to run around and play. A family area can make a great play space for kids and a leisure area for par- ents. The entire family can enjoy a multi- functional space that allows each person to have fun in his or her own way. In addi- tion to sports equipment and a pool, you can also add a flower box that can be transformed into a toy box. Arest area is a wonderful way to take a break from the hectic rhythm of busy days. By creating an area that is in harmo- ny with the surrounding nature, it is an ideal spot for reading and afternoon naps. Whether it’s a pergola with a bench or a garden pavilion, a leisure area is a great way to enjoy the warm months. An intimate living area should be cre- ated if you want to enjoy quiet moments with friends and family without feeling like your neighbours are sitting there with you. Trellis paneling can help add a bit of seclusion. Floral arrangements in flower boxes or in hanging plants are also a nice addition to this type of design, and the panels will pro- vide some beneficial shade for these plants. In addition, flowers and greenery can be placed in special spots. For example, an arch- way surrounded by water can be decorated with flowers. Let your imagination run wild, your garden bloom and enjoy the warm months while they are here. ADVERTISING FEATURE PICOV FURNITURE C.C.

Comfort Shoppe: Quality, Service and Value Buying patio furniture can be a lot of fun, but there are many factors that you must first consider. Naturally, the size of the patio is the first element that must be addressed. You might want to have a large table with several chairs, a swing and some lounge chairs, but if they won’t all fit on your patio, you’ll have to cut your wish-list down to only the necessary items. To determine the number of items you’ll need to buy, try to foresee how many people will usually be on the patio at the same time, and which items of fur- niture will be used the most often. Then consider the style and comfort you want- with the available space in mind. You might have enough room for four chairs, but if you absolutely want a lounge chair, you will have to sacrifice two of those chairs. This might be cutting things a bit close for a family of four people. All these things must be considered before making any purchases.

A KNIGHT’S TALE Starring Heath Ledger, Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Laura Fraser, Rufus Sewell. Directed by Brian Helgeland. For lowborn William (Ledger), the son of a poor thatcher, it seems incom- prehensible that he could ever realize his foolish childhood dream of knight- hood. In this day and age, upward mobili- ty is not a common concept. Fortune is not changed overnight. People die in the same station into which they are born. That is the natur- al order. But one day, at a medieval jousting tournament, where knights race toward each other in tests of skill and nerve, fate deals the unheralded William a shot at the ring. Before long he has reinvented him- self, exploding into noble superstar Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland. Newly christened Sir Ulrich is a knight — if only in skill and not name — jousting in a no-holds-barred battle for pride, power and prestige. He has changed his destiny into the timeless tale of William and his band of medieval misfits — including seri- ous, soft-hearted Roland (Addy), hot- headed, flame-haired Wat (Alan Tudyk) and unemployed writer Geoff Chaucer (Bettany) — careening to- ward impossible glory.

That’s how best to describe Magwyers Pub which opened its doors at its Baywood Centre location last September. It has the look and feel of an old-world pub, says Magwyers’ owner, Norm Shunda. “The ambiance is pretty close to some of the pubs in Europe. A lot of traditional British clientele come into the pub and they can relate to it. It makes them feel like they’re home. What’s meant by an old-world pub, explains Norm, is one that is small and intimate, with friendly staff, a large selection of all the favourite varieties of draft beer on tap and a place where people can come to unwind, meet friends and relax. “Basically, it’s their ‘local’,” says Norm, who’s been in the hospitality business in Durham for the past 18 years. “That’s what they all call their pub. We actually have pictures on the walls of pubs from the old country. It’s a little bit of a reminder for them of home.” Magwyers offers a full selection of 24 draft beers on tap, as well as a large menu of pub fare which has been well-received by customers for its quality and value. “The feedback on our food has been exceptional,” says Norm. “We ’re not just a drinking establishment. People can come in here and get a good meal at a reasonable price.” Since opening Magwyers, Norm says he’s made it a point to become active in the community. He’s currently working on plans for the annual Ajax Home Week celebration coming in June. Norm would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Ajax & Pickering community for nominating & voting them your #1 Pub in the annual News Advertisers Readers Choice Awards. We would like to think of every day as being a “Celebration of Life” and so it is. “If you’ve never experienced Magwyers, now is as good a time as any to come out and celebrate. We promise, you’ll be glad that you did,” adds Norm. FREE With the purchase of another of equal or greater value. Please present Coupon when ordering. Valid until May 31/01.

The North Shore is one of 17 New York State Heritage areas and was designated in 1997 in recognition of former president George Washington’s visit to Long Island. The Long Island Heritage Trail meanders along the north shore of Long Island Sound where Mr. Washington travelled in 1790 and millionaires later built fabulous mansions in the ‘Roaring ‘20s’. This earned the area the name ‘Gold Coast’, im- mortalized by F. Scott Fitzgerald in ‘The Great Gatsby’. Historic homes, museums, arboretums and harbourside villages are found here. Events will be celebrated throughout the trail until May 27. Called the King’s Highway in Colonial days, the trail today is known as New York State Route, 25A. It traverses 40 miles be- tween Great Neck in the west and Port Jefferson, hugging Long Is- land Sound. The trail’s back roads and byways extend the route to more than 100 miles.

Sun. 12 - 6 P.M. BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING — Living and competing in the southern U.S. while being surrounded by a host of fellow Canadians have defi- nitely agreed with long-distance runner Ryan Kendall. After being red-shirted (inac- tive) in his freshman season, the 19-year-old graduate of Pine Ridge Secondary School has been the toast of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs (Mockingbirds) NCAA Division 1 men’s track and field team this year. His sophomore season has proven to be a breakthrough track campaign for Kendall, who has earned numerous accolades, both indoors and outdoors, as well as in cross-country. And, it hasn’t hurt that most of his teammates at the Chat- tanooga, Tennessee campus are Canadians. In fact, there are seven other Canucks on the team, providing Kendall with some ‘back-home’ familiarity while living in the south. “The team is comprised of mostly Canadians,” said Kendall, who added that, surprisingly, there are only two Americans on the men’s team. “One of the rea- sons I came here was because of the Canadians on the team. We teach everybody about Canada down here. It’s just like being in Canada, without the weather.” So far in his collegiate career, Kendall has set a new school record in the 800-metre race, as well as winning the Southern Conference (SoCon) Cross- Country Championships in North Carolina last November. The just-completed indoor cam- paign also yielded several fine results, both individually and in relays. Kendall credits the fine start to his sophomore season to a new level of maturity. “I just stepped it up a lot this year,” explained Kendall, who’s studying health and physical ed- ucation with an eye to becoming a teacher after graduation. “I stepped up my training and I’m more focused on what I need to do. And, it’s mostly a maturity thing. I’ve matured more in the past year than I have in my whole life.” His first outdoor meet of the season turned into a record- breaker for Kendall while run- ning at the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Invitational Meet in At- lanta, Georgia in early April. There, he finished second in the 800m in a time of 1:50.68, break- ing the school record for the event. “It was a great feeling,” said Kendall, who was the first colle- gian to finish the race as the win- ner, Jonas Motiejunas, was run- ning under the New York Elite athletic club banner. “I knew I had a big race going when I kicked it in the last 500 metres and I held it all the way to the finish line.” Last weekend, he competed in the SoCon Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the Vir- ginia Military Institute, where he earned a third-place result in the 1,500m and a fourth in the 800m. In both events, Kendall was ex- pecting to finish with better re- sults. “I should have easily been winning my races, but I had a bad race in the 1,500 metres. The 800 metres was an hour after the 1,500 metres, so I didn’t have time to rest and get ready. I was dejected and sort of down, so it was hard to come back after los- ing,” he said. Kendall’s run of fine achieve- ments started at the SoCon Men’s Cross-Country Champi- onships at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Car- olina last November. There, he captured first place out of hun- dreds of runners in the confer- ence in the eight-kilometre event. After running most of the race in 20th place, he gradually started increasing the pace to overtake the leaders in the last 800 metres. As a result of his cross-coun- try win, he was named runner of the year in the conference. He also participated in cross-country running as a freshman in 2000 and was named SoCon’s rookie of the year. During the 2001 indoor track and field season, Kendall ran the second fastest mile ever in UTC school history while competing at an invitational meet at Middle Tennessee State University. He won the mile in 4:08.00. An hour later he also won the 800m. He also helped the school’s men’s distance relay team to a win and a new school record in the medley relay at the Indiana University Invitational indoor event. Kendall ran the anchor (mile) leg of the race, helping the foursome get to the finish line in 9:59.82 to eclipse the old school record of 10:01 for the event. Kendall will run outdoor meets at Stanford University in California, at the University of Georgia and, finally, at Georgia Tech University this month in hopes of qualifying in either the 800m or the 1,500m for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore- gon in June.

I’ve matured more in the past year than I have in my whole life.’ Ryan Kendall on his recent success NOTICE Aquatic Sciences Inc. (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. The length of the program is approximately from May until November and will be performed on a yearly basis as required. The 2001 operation will begin approximately May 15, 2001.

Participating in its inau- gural season of competitive skipping, the highlight of the season for Ajax’s Mother Teresa Catholic School team was at the Provincial Rope Skipping Championships in Hamilton in early April. Eight members of the team — Breanne Allen, Ali- cia Indovino, Tania Lukacso- vics, Andrew King, Robert Chung, Meghan McKinnon, Aisha Smickle-Cleary and Meghan McCarthy — each participated in several events, including 30-second speed, three-minute speed, double and triple unders and individ- ual freestyle. Although none of the school’s skippers made it to nationals, many achieved personal bests with a couple of members receiving rib- bons for their efforts. The Mother Teresa com- petitive team also skipped at the Central Ontario Regional Championship in Brampton in February where several team members brought home medals. The team also partic- ipated in a skipping seminar in Niagara Region during the March break hosted by the ‘Lincoln Leapers’ — a com- petitive skipping club. Skipping took root at the Ajax school three years ago when students took the ‘Jumprope for Heart’ event a step further. The school start- ed a skipping demonstration team with the guidance of teacher Bernadette MacDon- ald. Over the past three years, the school’s three teams (pri- mary, junior and intermedi- ate) have demonstrated their skills and routines to music at The Race Against Drugs Open House, Durham Lives at the Pickering Town Centre and at various schools throughout Durham Region. Tryouts for the skipping team are usually held in the fall, with the students practis- ing after school and on Satur- days. The team acknowl- edges the contribution of coaches Rochelle Cadeau, MacDonald and Tanya Rus- sell for their enthusiasm and encouragement. Competitive team mem- bers are Allen, Chung, Kate- lyn Doyle, Indovino, King, Lukacsovics, Victoria MacKenzie, McCarthy, Megan McLaughlin, McKin- non, Jillian Polson, Samantha Rao, Brittney Renaud, Smickle-Cleary, Deanna Turco and C.J. Smith. AJAX —They may have only been in their first year, but the competitive skipping team at Mother Teresa Catholic School still performed well enough to quali- fy for the recent provincial championships.

She was born on November 27, 1970 and was 30 years of age. She will be sadly missed by her mother and father, Mari- lyn and Walter Ostheimer of Vernon, her two brothers, Shawn (Rachel Brown) of Burnaby, and Jeffrey of Vancouver, sister Sylvia Schuble of Switzerland; her Aunt Sandra and Uncle Alec Bonk of Pickering, ON; Uncle Eric and Aunt Clara Lockwood of Toronto, ON; Uncle George and Aunt Erika Schweiger of Marion, Indiana; Cousins: Cynthia, Nancy, David, Alan, Stephen and Michael as well as extended family and friends in Canada, Aus- tria, Switzerland and Germany. Michelle was a beautiful young lady with many talents and aspirations. Her musical abilities included singing, piano, and guitar. She enjoyed the company of children and hoped to write children's literature one day. Michelle loved animals and her dog 'Heidi' will also miss her dearly. Despite her daily struggles with living, Michelle's warmth and incredible generosity touched everyone around her. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the BCSS, Vernon Branch (Mental Illness Family Sup- port Office) 301-3402 27th Avenue, Vernon, V1T 1S1.
