Home My WebLink AboutNA2001_06_22BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Business owners in Brougham are facing a substantial loss in earnings due to the two-month closure of a small section of Hwy. 7, which takes effect next week, according to a local resident. Jim Lewis, owner of Brock Seven Auto, told Pickering councillors Monday area businesses would be negatively impacted by the closure of the highway, which is necessary due to the ongoing construction of Hwy. 407. “This time of year tends to be our busiest time,” Mr. Lewis said on behalf of the six businesses that will be impacted. “We’re all going to suffer financial loss so a huge company... can come in for financial gain... we feel like we’re being bullied,” he said. “I’m just a lit- tle guy on the side of the highway trying to make a living. Even two months will have a huge impact on our businesses.” Mr. Lewis, who also made a presentation to the Region’s works committee Wednesday, reported SLF Joint Venture, the company constructing Hwy. 407, notified business owners late last week that a portion of Hwy. 7 is being closed for two months. The closure is to begin June 26. “We weren’t given any notice,” he said, noting the businesses in the area — including two car deal- erships, a hardware store, an antique store, a restau- rant and a convenience store — all depend on “traf- fic flow for our business”.

A hefty toll to pay Brougham store owners say temporary closure of Hwy. 7 will hurt business Trimming Durham’s waste Councillors express disappointment during status update BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Although at least four Durham municipalities could adopt a new garbage collection sys- tem next year, more needs to be done to increase the amount of waste the Region diverts from land- fill, councillors say. Members of the Region’s works committee voted Wednesday to rec- ommend an integrated waste col- lection system be introduced in the municipalities of Uxbridge, Brock, Scugog and Clarington as of next April. The staff recommendation — See DURHAM page 2 RICK JOHNSON Highway closure ‘totally unacceptable.’ which means residents in those municipalities would have to separate their garbage into re- cyclables, compostables and residual waste — was part of an ac- tion plan for future Regional waste management con- tracts presented to the committee Wednesday. But, some councillors argued that plan doesn’t go far enough in terms of laying out new initiatives de- signed to increase diversion rates here. “I was sad- dened when I read the report,” Pick- ering Councillor and works com- mittee chairman Rick Johnson told reporters follow- ing the meeting. “I am disappointed our own staff have not taken the ini- tiative to be more proactive.” Works depart- ment staff also recommended Wednesday that councillors ap- prove the exten- sion of an existing blue box collec- tion contract as well as the Re- gion’s existing contract to sell re- cyclable papers to Atlantic Packag- ing Products. In addition, the re- port called on councillors to re- tender the existing contract to com- post and dispose of residential leaf and yard waste next year and that Durham issue ten- ders for the com- posting and dis- posal of residen- tial organic food wastes for a period of four years start- ing in April 2002. However, councillors voted to defer a decision on all those items until their next meeting in Au- gust. “I was not happy with the re- port,” Coun. John- son said, noting if the Region simply continues with its existing contracts, Durham won’t be any further ahead in its plan to divert more waste. “We have to find new and emerging tech- nologies,” he said. “Staff have to be more aggressive... we’re not prepared to go the same route we’ve been going for he past 20 years.” Although he supported the introduction of the integrated waste collection system in Clar- ington and the region’s three northern munic- ipalities, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson also expressed concerns about the length of time Durham has been talking about making changes to divert more waste from landfill. “If we just keep yapping, we’re never going to do anything,” he said. “This process is taking far too long,” he told his colleagues, adding the recommenda- tions presented to the committee “do nothing for me... let’s make some decisions”.

Pickering council will host the meeting Wednesday, June 27 at 7 p.m. in the council cham- bers at the civic complex, One The Esplanade. The governance study draft report, prepared for Pickering and Oshawa councils by the Berkeley Consulting Group, sets out seven options for municipal governance reform in Durham Region, including costs, tax im- pacts, effectiveness and account- ability, and the potential of each option. In the short term, the consul- tants propose municipalities continue to work in the existing two-tier government structure and recommend delaying deci- sions until the future role of the Greater Toronto Services Board is determined. A summary of the draft report will be available at the meeting. The summary is also available for pick up at the clerk’s depart- ment. The full report and a set of background working papers are available for viewing at the clerk’s department and at the Pickering Central Library.

Ms. Fevreau, who also made a presentation to the works committee Wednes- day, said plans for the re- alignment have been in- cluded in the project for years. She explained it’s neces- sary to close the section of Hwy. 7 so the construction firm can transport fill from the north side of Hwy. 7 to the south side of the high- way in order to create the new Sideline 16. And, she noted the Min- istry of Transportation (MTO), which owns Hwy. 7, “won’t even consider hauling the soil” while al- lowing traffic to continue using the roadway because of safety concerns. She reported there will be “adequate signage” in the area to notify motorists of the detour and said the section of Hwy. 7 where the businesses are located will still be open to local traffic, which can access the high- way from Brock Road. She also said she’s hope- ful the road won’t have to be closed for as long as two months, noting the eastern extension of the toll road is on schedule and may even open in mid-August, a few weeks earlier than planned. Ms. Fevreau also told the Region that the issue of compensation is the re- sponsibility of the MTO. However, Ward 3 Re- gional Councillor Rick Johnson said Wednesday that MTO officials indicat- ed this week that any com- pensation is the responsi- bility of SLF Joint Venture. Works committee mem- bers agreed to send a letter to both SLF and the MTO supporting the business owners’ request for finan- cial compensation. Coun. Johnson, who be- lieves the highway closure is “totally unacceptable”, also plans to introduce a motion at Pickering council Monday asking the City to take a similar stand.

Inmates of the maximum-secu- rity provincial institution started fires and barricaded themselves in a third-floor corridor for several hours June 12. After unsuccessful negotiations, the Institutional Cri- sis Intervention Team entered the area and forcibly removed the pris- oners, which ended the uprising. Damage to the jail was estimat- ed at $25,000. Four of the inmates were later transferred to Millbrook Correctional Facility. The following are charged with participating in a riot, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence (arson), arson with disregard for human life, mischief over $5,000 and mischief endangering life: Dexter Anthony Brown, 29, Cale Gordon Hermitte, 30, Isan Danjuma Jupiter, 29, Shane Jason Lang, 25, Brendan Charles Mak, 20, Jermaine Anthony Martinborough, 19, John Paul O’Brien, 24, William Raymond Za- paranuik, 24.

TWIN SETS FROM $299 99$299 99 Abortion is ‘murder’ To the editor: Re: ‘Many factors go into a woman’s deci- sion to abort a child,’ letter to the editor, June 6. Michele Gagnon’s justification for abor- tion that not every fetus grows to perfection, both physically and intellectually, is an ar- gument without end. The criteria for allow- ing a child to be aborted can very easily be extended to euthanasia and genocide. Abor- tion is just the beginning; its methods in de- termining the value of a human life are sim- ply a question of the impact of that life on the one making the choice. The arguments for abortion tend to view the aborted child as a known quantity. But life is not known. Predetermining the quali- ty of a child’s life overlooks the precious- ness of life itself. Life is the commodity of value, not its quality nor its completeness. The argument that the parents would be unable to care for the child fails also to con- sider the lengthy waiting lists for children by those desperate to adopt. There are many who wish to raise a child but are unable to. There is no excuse why one’s inability to care should deprive another that same op- portunity. To simply abort a child without exploring this possibility is selfish in the ex- treme. Abortion is wrong not because it offends our sensibilities or our religious beliefs, but because a human being dies. Abortion is murder and lives are being lost, not only those of the aborted children, who never have the chance to enjoy the world given to them by God, but also those who permit such atrocities to continue. We have been called to a higher purpose than this. Let our voices be heard in defence of the defenceless.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 22, 2001 A strange thing happened at the checkout the other day. I was at a well-known supermar- ket at a very busy time. As I quickly scanned the lineups to judge the shortest, I couldn’t believe my luck when I noticed one with just one per- son waiting as opposed to the rest with lineups three or four deep. As I approached the checkout operator, I fully expected her to tell me she was closing, but instead she gave me a ra- diant smile and a cheerful ‘Hello! How are you today?’ When I told her I thought she was closing, she assured me she was not and deftly and professionally attend- ed to me. I looked around, confused as to why others had not cottoned on to this fast-track lane as I had. Just then, a gentleman came up behind me and asked this nice lady the same question and was equally as delighted as I had been. Again, no one joined our party. I began to wonder if it had any- thing to do with the ethnic headdress this lady wore. Surely not! Not in Canada, the land of multicultural acceptance? I argued with myself and when later relaying this event to my hus- band he told me I must have imag- ined it. However, if I hadn’t been there I wouldn’t have believed it my- self, because I am hard-pressed to find a good reason for not wanting to get out of a busy supermarket as soon as possible. Can you? We chose to come live in this amazing country three years ago for many reasons. One reason we came here was our impression of the level of open- mindedness and the chance of having a better future for our son who has Asperger’s syndrome — the correct term for high-functioning autism. This beautiful, funny and talented child can read a book per day, spells and does math better than me, has us in stitches with his jokes, sings with gusto and without embarrassment, loves Lego, Nintendo and GameBoy, and can talk the hind legs off a horse about Pokemon and Digimon. Sounds a little like your child, eh? Except life is very pure in his world. It’s either black or white, good or bad. In simple terms, he understands how things work — but doesn’t un- derstand how people work. Sometimes I wonder too when faced with prejudice. Instead, I point out the beautiful things around us in this country we should feel proud of, and privileged to inhabit. Each and every one of us. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Prejudice affects us all in big and little bites ‘No more pencils, no more books’ ‘No more teachers, dirty looks...’ The traditional schoolyard verse has an extra painful element of truth to it for Durham District School Board students this year. Their teachers have turned their backs on them. The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) plan to prevent teachers from taking part in extra activities with the board has nixed summer school for Durham’s public high school students. In its ‘pink letter,’ sent to all OSSTF members earlier this year, president Earl Manners ordered members “not to apply for or to ac- cept any teaching position or position of added responsibility (in Durham)”. He added, “any member of the OSSTF who applies for or accepts a teaching position or position of added responsibility... or who accepts a position to fill a vacancy... will be subject to dis- cipline procedures as set out in the OSSTF bylaws 8 and 9.” In the end, that meant less than half the 170 summer school teachers needed annually by the board signed up for duty and the whole program, which as many as 5,000 Durham secondary school students rely on each year, was cancelled. Students in dire need of a summer credit will now have to scram- ble to find another board willing to accommodate their needs. The Durham Catholic board has opened its doors but it’s doubtful enough spaces will be available for all the students who need them. The standoff between the public board and its secondary school teachers has gone way beyond the breaking point. We’re now com- pleting three full years with little or no extracurricular activities for high school students in this board. Students, forced to go without the things that make high school ‘fun’ complain they are finding school life more miserable, more a chore than ever before. Many students only get through high school and graduate because they’re motivated through taking part in extracurriculars. Now, those thousands of students who need a summer credit will have to look elsewhere, their parents unable to rely on the board that their tax dollars directly support. The option of summer school is a fundamental right desperately needed by thousands of students each and every year. But this year, the teachers’union has stepped in and stopped the program in its tracks and only because it wants to up the ante in bargaining for a new contract with the board. Once again, the students are pawns in a war between adults who can’t compro- mise. Nice example. This is the most recent example of our public board demonstrating it can’t do the job of providing proper educa- tion services. The Ministry of Education should be, at the very least, consulted on this problem. It’s time for parents to turn up the heat on the Durham District School Board, the OSSTF and the minister of education. Perhaps a summer of letter writing and lobbying will get someone’s attention.

Durham District School Board trustees passed a motion Monday night to formalize the consultation process with SCCs, advisory bodies in each school. “Sometimes it’s nice to be asked; that’s all this does,” said Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. She and Ajax Trustee Melinda Craw- ford proposed the motion, following a public tongue-lashing last month. Faye McFarlane, SCC chair at R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate & Vocational In- stitute, expressed concern that trustees were bringing forward motions that councils did not know about and had no opportunity to comment upon. Provin- cial regulations now require that boards seek the views of its councils, said Ms. McFarlane, who said the board would face a roomful of angry parents if it did not do so. Education Minister Janet Ecker in December announced new regulations concerning councils. Among the changes is mandatory consulta- tion of councils by principals and school boards when forming and changing policies that affect stu- dents, including new education initiatives. Boards and principals also have to report back to coun- cils on the input they received. Trustee Hopper and Craw- ford’s motion states the consulta- tion process will be 60 days, and that the board will have three weeks to consider the SCCs’ feedback, unless a pressing mat- ter requires quick action. 27 Locations Over 200 Delivery Trucks 400 Clements Road West, Ajax 905.427.5556 SKID STEERS BACKHOES SCISSOR LIFTS COMPRESSORS EXCAVATORS GENERATORS ROLLERS LIGHT TOWERS SCAFFOLDING TELEHANDLERS TRASH PUMPS WELDERS AND MORE … MESSAGE BOARDS POWER TROWELS Get the equipment you need, when you need it, where you need it...

The good news is there won’t be any in- juries. The Ajax Fire and Emergency Services is hosting the Central Ontario Regional Auto Extrication Competition and Learning Sym- posium on Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24. Fire departments from across Ontario, along with some from the United States, are sending teams for the competition. The two-day event includes a public viewing and information component, when teams will take part in two different categories that will judge their speed, effi- ciency and safety in rescue situa- tions. In one category, teams of six can use heavy hydraulic equip- ment, such as the ‘jaws of life’, while in the other category they can only use hand-powered equip- ment. Real crashes will be recreated in the mall parking lot. In addition to fire departments, police and ambulance services will be on hand to give out information. The public can watch as teams perform rescues of simulated pa- tients using dummies. Weather permitting, the En- bridge Consumers Gas hot-air bal- loon will also be on site. The competition is a prelimi- nary event for the international level event being held in Burling- ton from Sept. 18 to 21. The mall is at the corner of Harwood Avenue and Bayly Street, and the competition runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. AJAX ––Firefighters will per- form rescues similar to this dur- ing a weekend-long competi- tion. This is the Ajax crew in ac- tion at a previous event. Help sought for multicultural workshop AJAX —Volunteers are need- ed to help organize the Multicul- tural Education Workshop and Re- source Fair. The Ajax Race Relations Com- mittee is hosting the day-long event in the fall, with the focus on the importance of education and awareness in schools and other learning centres. The theme is multicultural edu- cation and understanding — an es- sential tool for the 21st century. A number of educators and facilita- tors have been invited to speak, while teachers, teaching assistants and early childhood teachers are being invited to attend. In addition to the workshops is the resource fair, giving suppliers of multicultural teaching aids, school supplies and other educa- tion material a chance to display their products and share new initia- tives.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 22, 2001 PAGE 9 A/P A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 22, 2001 BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM –– Robyn Degarris says she watched her son come home from school with split lips and black eyes. Meanwhile, the work her daughter had been doing to become “more assertive and self- motivated” was being undone by “a few students who seem to have free passage at her,” Ms. Degarris be- lieves. But the straw that broke the camel’s back came in January for the Newcastle mom. “My son had surgery in January on his ears,” she recalls. Shortly after the surgery, “one kid pinned my son in the snow and jumped on his head.” That’s when Ms. Degarris decid- ed to pull two of her children, aged eight and nine, out of one area school, in favour of another, where she says her children are happier, and spend much less time defend- ing themselves against schoolyard bullies. She says she feels it’s time to really start punishing the aggres- sive children she feels were making her children’s school lives miser- able. “The argument of not suspend- ing a bully because it only gives him a holiday, a reward of sorts, is very weak,” says Ms. Degarris in a letter to the school board explaining why her children would be switch- ing schools mid-year. “In fact, this ‘holiday’ would in many ways be that of the victims. They would not have the intimidation or fear for the period of time the offender is away.” But local educators say they are ever vigilant to deal with the prob- lem of schoolyard bullies. “Certainly, bullying continues to be an issue that we want to keep re- viewing. We’re no longer saying, ‘well, that’s just a bully’ or ‘boys will be boys’,” notes Sherry Sum- mersides, superintendent of schools with the Kawartha Pine Ridge Dis- trict School Board. “Bullies are ad- dressed because bullies go on to be bigger bullies.” WHAT IS A BULLY? Once upon a time, likely as re- cently as when today’s parents were in school, bullying was in many cases just seen as a symptom of ‘kids being kids.’ But, as noted by Ms. Summersides, that excuse doesn’t necessarily wash with edu- cators anymore. Schoolyard bully- ing has become more of an issue in recent years, especially in light of serious acts of violence which have been linked to bullying, like the 1999 school shooting in Taber, Al- berta, which left one student dead and other seriously wounded. Durham Region is by no means immune to youth bullying, be it on the schoolyard or elsewhere. In February, six teenaged Ajax girls were arrested and charged with as- saulting, confining and threatening to kill a 15-year-old girl in an attack police have said was “boy-related.” The victim told police she was lured to an Ajax apartment, held against her will, and beaten. She suffered a concussion and bruises to her face and body. Two 15-year-olds and four 16-year-olds were charged. The act of bullying can come in a variety of forms, be it physical or verbal. “Bullying can be something as subtle as exclusion, where some- body isn’t welcome to be part of the group, and that can be just as bad as unwelcome, inappropriate com- ments,” notes Lewis Williams, race relations officer with the Durham District School Board. According to Bully Beware Pro- ductions, based in British Colum- bia, “Bullying in its truest form is comprised of a series of repeated or intentionally cruel incidents, in- volving the same children, in the same bully and victim roles.” But the organization’s Web site also notes that bullying “can consist of a single interaction.” While physical play among chil- dren is considered normal, there is a difference between playing and bul- lying, says Bully Beware. And there is often at least a perceived power difference between bully and vic- tim, be it physical, mental, or social, says the group’s Web site. But, once a bully doesn’t neces- sarily mean always a bully, says one local educator. “Some students try to assert themselves on the social pecking order... and it may not become a pattern,” says Dr. George Dimitroff, of the student services department at the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board. Still, even the single act can have an impact on the victim, notes Mr. Williams. “We know what a positive com- ment can mean to the way we live the rest of our day, and we certainly know the opposite,” he says. SAFE SCHOOLS Bullying has been dealt with in many ways by school boards over the years. And, it is one of many be- havioural issues covered by new Safe Schools Legislation, recently released by the Province. Under that law, schools must have a code of conduct, though many have long had such rules in place. In many ways, the new Provincial legislation has just meant schools have “fine- tuned or re-twigged” existing rules, says Ms. Summersides. While all the new regulations have yet to be implemented, Ms. Summersides says school boards could look at ap- plying specific, discretionary sus- pensions or even expulsions to ac- tions such as “bad behaviour injuri- ous to the learning environment.” And according to Ms. Degarris, the mother who removed two of her children from a school because of the harassment she says they were dealing with, bullying is something that does cause a problem in the learning environment. After all, she says, she did not send her children to school to “learn how to defend themselves at recess and lunch.” Fighting the school bully DURHAM ––Children who are bullied at school can be excluded from a peer group, with devastating effects at a time when children most need social connections. Whether your child is being bullied or is the bully, advice for parents in either situation has a common thread: contact the school. WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo illustration Visit the Bully Beware Web site www.bullybeware.com Which is worse: having a child who is being bullied, or having a child who is the bully? It’s a tough question, but for a parent in either situation, at least some of the advice is the same: get in touch with the child’s school. For parents of a child being bullied, Superintendent of Schools Sher- ry Summersides of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, sug- gests being in contact with the school, whether it be the principal or the classroom teacher. She suggests bringing up any supporting information or specific issues the child has shared with parents. “Discuss with the school strategies they may already have in place to deal with bullying,” suggests Ms. Summersides. At the same time, parents should attempt to “support the child at home,” says Ms. Summersides, who suggests sharing the school strate- gies with the child. The child may be taught how to “have a conversation, not a confrontation, with the bully.” Reinforcement of self-esteem may also be necessary. “Sometimes, children may in fact set themselves up without realizing it to be re-victimized,” notes Ms. Summersides. “If they have victim symp- toms, they open themselves up to be re-victimized.” Children in this situation may need to learn to “be assertive in a safe manner,” she suggests. For parents who believe their child may be bullying others at school, a conversation with teacher or principal may also be necessary, says the su- perintendent. “If a parent perceives their child as being a bully, and they’re not suc- cessful with dealing with it on the home front, go to the school and say (to the teacher or principal), ‘you must be noticing it too.’” Modelling behaviour for children is extremely important, she notes. “Appropriate behaviour is something we can all do. It’s important that we model behaviour that is socially appropriate and that we also reinforce it.” But she says no one should expect overnight success. “The key I believe is that bullying, again, is a pattern of behaviour, and it takes time to change a pattern of behaviour,” notes Ms. Summersides. Bullies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and use a variety of tech- niques to commit their offences. Bully Beware Productions, a BC-based organization, identifies four main types of bullies: • PHYSICAL BULLIES - Physical bullies are action-oriented. This type of bullying includes hitting or kicking the victim, or taking or damaging the vic- tim’s property.This is the least sophisticated type of bullying because it is so easy to identify. Physical bullies are soon known to the entire population in the school.As they get older, their attacks usually become more aggressive. These aggressive characteristics manifest themselves as bullies become adults. • VERBAL BULLIES - Verbal bullies use words to hurt or humiliate another person.Verbal bullying includes name-calling, insulting, making racist com- ments, and constant teasing.This type of bullying is the easiest to inflict on other children. It is quick and to the point. It can occur in the least amount of time available, and its effects can be more devastating in some ways than physical bullying because there are no visible scars. • RELATIONAL BULLIES - Relational or relationship bullies try to convince their peers to exclude or reject a certain person or people and cut the vic- tims off from their social connections. This type of bullying is linked to ver- bal bullying and usually occurs when children (most often girls) spread nasty rumours about others or exclude an ex-friend from the peer group. The most devastating effect with this type of bullying is the rejection by the peer group at a time when children most need their social connections. • REACTIVE VICTIMS - Reactive victims straddle a fence of being a bully or victim.They are often the most difficult to identify because at first glance they seem to be targets for other bullies. However, reactive victims often taunt bullies, and bully other people themselves. Most of the incidents are physical in nature. These victims are impulsive and react quickly to inten- tional and unintentional physical encounters. In some cases, reactive vic- tims begin as victims and become bullies as they try to retaliate. A reactive victim will approach a bully and say, “You better not bug me today, other- wise I’ll tell the teacher, and boy, will you be in trouble, so you just better watch out.” Advice for parents of bullies and victims The many faces of a schoolyard bully Campaign designed to save lives on region’s roads DURHAM —A new partnership between the Region’s works department and the Durham Regional Police Service is aiming to raise awareness about safe driving, according to a Re- gional report. The Save-A-Life Cam- paign, launched in mid- May, is designed to “in- crease driver awareness of the hazards of aggressive driving behaviour”, stated works commissioner Jack McCorkell in a written re- port presented to the works committee Wednesday. According to that report, the program involves stop- ping all vehicles at selected sites and handing out safe- ty bulletins identifying col- lision statistics and aggres- sive driving concerns spe- cific to the targeted section of roadway. Then, within a few days of the initial spot check, the police undertake a zero-tolerance approach to enforcement in the area in an effort to reinforce the is- sues included in the infor- mation bulletins. Mr. McCorkell reported the first spot check was held on Hwy. 47 in Good- wood in the Township of Uxbridge on May 16. Fol- low-up enforcement oc- curred on May 18 and May 21, with a total of 116 tick- ets issued. The second campaign, held on Westney Road in the community of Green- wood, located in Pickering, was held on May 23 with follow-up on May 25 and 28. A total of 103 tickets were issued. “Public support for the program from passing mo- torists has been extremely positive,” Mr. McCorkell’s report stated, noting the program is intended to op- erate year-round with sites being targeted throughout the region.

That is expected to come be- fore the next meeting of the par- ties in Vienna on July 17 to 19, Dr. Barnard says. He credits the Canadian government for allow- ing the ITER board to proceed with its bid submission. “It’s a real Canadian triumph, Canada actually getting a real bid in (now) with the ambassador and the full weight of the Canadian government behind it,” Dr. Barnard says. Durham MP Alex Shepherd, who has supported the ITER Canada project in caucus and rec- ommended it to the Prime Minis- ter, says he is “very happy. All the hard work has paid off. “The letter is in place and the federal government’s relations are excellent with ITER Canada. “I’m also very happy the am- bassador was able to present the bid. It is a great opportunity to showcase Clarington to the world,” says Mr. Shepherd. Durham site officially in the running for nuclear fusion facility BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Canada’s bid to have a $12-billion fusion facility lo- cated in Durham Region was “well-re- ceived” in Moscow where the Canadi- an delegation last weekend announced its intention to host the site, says the chairman of the Canadian team. The ITER (International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reactor) Canada chairman says delegates from the other partners in the research pro- ject to harness energy from fusion all went home with a 450-page document outlining Canada’s proposal to host the site. The Canadian bid “was widely cov- ered on Russian television,” reports Dr. Peter Barnard, who returned to Canada Monday. Reaction to the bid was “very com- plimentary,” he adds. To date, Canada is the only country to bid for the site but Japan and France are expected to follow with their bids as well. If it proceeds, ITER will be the largest international collaborative re- search and development investment after the International Space Station and is the crucial last step before the world builds its first demonstra- tion fusion power plant. It is expected to generate sig- nificant eco- nomic spin-offs including thou- sands of new jobs and invest- ment for the country which hosts it. Much of the weekend’s talks among the dele- gates, which in- cluded repre- sentatives from Canada, Russia, the European Union and Japan, focused on working out the details of site selection negoti- ations, says Dr. Barnard. A decision was also made for the ITER International board to issue a news release after each round of nego- tiations to ensure an “open and trans- parent procedure” says Dr. Barnard. As well, the session focused on get- ting all the partners “up to the same point” of commitment.

So it is perhaps fitting that naming an Oshawa school after Mr. Trudeau, who died last year, took a bit of time — namely, two Durham District School Board meetings and three trustee votes, one of them recorded. Trustees voted Monday night to call an east Oshawa school, to open this fall, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Public School. It is be- lieved to be one of the first, if not the first school in Canada named after Mr. Trudeau, Cana- da’s prime minister for 15 years. “I think it’s an honour to name a school after a great for- mer statesman,” Brock- Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Lo- raine said in recommending the name. Trustees were to have ap- proved the name last month but it was delayed at the request of Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen because her colleague, Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler, was not present. On Monday night the staff recommendation once again came forward, and Trustee Shetler called into question the process by which the name was chosen, saying school council members and those who submit- ted suggested school names should have been in on the process. Trustee Shetler asked for the naming process to take place a second time. The naming committee was comprised of trustees Shetler, Kathleen Hopper (Oshawa), Doug Ross (Whitby), Oshawa schools superintendent Kaye Egan and Trudy Worsley, who is to be principal of the 20-room facility. “I have sat on committees to name schools where parents ei- ther did not show up or sit on the committee,” said Trustee Ross. He said the time for Trustee Shetler to address her concern had long since passed, adding he is not aware of one official complaint about the naming process. “I have heard from several parents,” replied Trustee Shetler. Trustee Loraine said she had “serious concerns” about the message that would go out to the Durham community if a new process took place. Trustee Hopper said at least three or four submissions for Pierre Elliott Trudeau were re- ceived. “I am at this time concerned about a school that would go without a name,” she said. Trustees heard that if not named Monday, the naming would have to take place in mid- September, after the school had opened (students will mostly come from Duke of Edinburgh Public School and will start the year there in portables until the new building, at Beatrice Street and Grandview Street North, is ready in late October or early November). Trustee Steffen backed up Trustee Shetler. “I don’t see any problem in allowing a little more time for this process,” she said. Board Chairman Elizabeth Roy explained the importance of a school having a name well before it opens, describing it as “the basis for how a school is developed”. Meanwhile, Trustee Shetler expressed concerns that “some of you treat this so lightly,” she said. She said the process was not done properly, chided trustees for not thinking “proactively”, and questioned why a roomful of parents weren’t involved in the decision. Her motion to have a second naming process failed 7-4. Trustees Shetler and Steffen ab- stained in the vote to name the school after Mr. Trudeau. Trustee Shetler in a previous interview said she did not sup- port naming the school after Mr. Trudeau because the name was not unique to Oshawa. DURHAM —Just a little bit of your time can help keep one of the Ajax-Pickering community’s most im- portant services running. Every week of the year, from Mon- day to Friday, Meals on Wheels volun- teers deliver hot, nutritious meals to people who cannot cook for them- selves. Drivers receive a set route of six to eight addresses and deliver meals once a week. A packer packs the prepared meals and takes them to central depots in Ajax and Pickering where drivers pick up the meals and take them to se- niors and shut-ins. All it takes to be a driver or packer is about 75 minutes once a week. Dri- vers deliver the meals between 11:15 a.m. and 1 p.m., while packers work between 9:45 and 11:15 a.m. Growth in the service and a lack of volunteers during the vacation season means drivers and packers are desper- ately needed to keep this vital service operating. For more information and to volunteer, call the Durham Region Community Care Association, Meals on Wheels service co-ordinator, at 905- 686-3331. Got wheels?

Called a champi- on for social jus- tice, Mr. Arm- strong spoke to the Whitby Race Relations and Di- versity Commit- tee last Wednes- day about the need for equal opportunities for people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. “I am happy and pleased to have been part of the changes in Canada,” says Mr. Armstrong. “All of us can make a differ- ence.” He said Whit- by is changing from a predomi- nantly white community to one of diversity, and people need to recognize that. “Be sure Whitby becomes an equal employ- ment communi- ty,” says Mr. Armstrong. Before he came to Canada, Mr. Armstrong says coloured people were told they couldn’t live here because they wouldn’t be able to handle the cli- mate. But that was just the be- ginning. Once, people of colour arrived here, Mr. Armstrong says they couldn’t get jobs, places to live or even a cup of coffee. And the prejudice wasn’t just against different races, but against women too. He says when someone feels they didn’t get a job because of their skin colour, they need to start a “case study” by sending more coloured people to the same place for a job and see if anyone is hired. If qualified candidates are still not hired, they should take their case to the Ontario Human Rights Board and fight for their rights. He says even though Canada has its problems, it is still the best country in the world to live in be- cause when citizens are unhappy, they can discuss the problem and fight to prevent it from continuing to happen. That’s not the case everywhere. Mr. Armstrong’s half-century of activism has earned him the Order of Canada, the Order of Ontario, the Stanley Knowles Humanitarian Award, the Toronto Onyx Lions Club Award for outstanding ac- complishments, the Bahai Nation- al Race Unity Award and the Har- mony Award among many others. Unlike some immigrants who maintain their country of origin al- ways comes first and foremost, Mr. Armstrong says Canada is front and centre for him - and for his children. “I tell my kids they’re Canadi- an; I don’t tell them they’re Ja- maican because they’re not - they were born here,” says Mr. Arm- strong. “We can keep pushing and pushing until we’re treated equal- ly.” A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 22, 2001 Veteran activist against racism speaks out One Week To GoOne Week To Go Last Day, Store ClosingLast Day, Store Closing Sat.

PICKER- ING —A prop- erly used car safety seat can mean the differ- ence between life and death for a child. On Sunday, June 24 in Pick- ering, the Durham Region Car Safety Seat Committee, in conjunction with Durham police, invites parents to a free safety seat check event. It takes place at Formula Ford Sales, 1167 Kingston Rd., between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Trained vol- unteers will be on hand to help parents and caregivers who want to know if their seat is safe and learn more about seat-belt safety. The commit- tee was formed to increase the awareness and practice of prop- er car seat in- stallation and usage. Similar events have found that Durham parents have a lot to learn about these crucial safety devices. Almost a GO – train systems team up for service BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM ––Despite a recent announcement that VIA and GO Transit will find ways to work to- gether to run more routes between Windsor and Quebec City every day, GO isn’t sure it will participate just yet. Transport Minister David Col- lenette made the announcement at the Smog Summit in Toronto, say- ing VIA and GO Transit will ex- pand the frequency of existing ser- vices and improve connections be- tween Oshawa, Georgetown, Brampton, Malton, Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville, Guelph and the Toronto and Waterloo Region. That means the two train operations will carry each other’s passenger be- tween their shared stations in Os- hawa, Guildwood, Toronto, Hamil- ton, Aldershot, Georgetown, Brampton, Malton, and Oakville, allowing more seats for passengers. “From what I understand... from GO’s perspective it would be nice to use some available capacity on VIA trains for commuters and over- all that concept is a good one — to be able to use seats that are avail- able, but there are lots of things that need to be worked out before that,” said Karen Majerly, information of- ficer for GO Transit. She said GO hasn’t said ‘yes’ to anything yet and there are a lot of issues to face before they can agree to the minister’s plan. “Some of the things we face, just even at GO Transit, is Union Sta- tion is a very crowded place at rush hour and that’s really when we would like to be able to add more service. So in terms of managing the space at Union Station, the available capacity is always going to be an issue until there is major work done at that facility,” she said, adding railway traffic will also in- crease on the shared tracks and new tracks will need to be added. More tracks require more funding. “We had some discussions with VIA, but it’s very early stages, and the only issue that we’ve talked about so far is to investigate how we might work together on tickets,” said Ms. Majerly. “We’re talking with VIA so sure (working together is) a possibility. “We’ve got trains that are filling up very quickly at the first couple of stations: Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, those people at Pickering, they’re getting onto trains that are already significantly full,” said Ms. Majer- ly. “If it (the plan) provides more options for commuters to get to downtown, then ultimately that’s a good thing,” she said. As for additional trains, she said perhaps VIA would be getting some, but no GO trains will be added. AJAX —A two-day self-de- fence course for young women is being offered by The Youth Centre. The Wen-Do self-defence work- shop is being held on Saturdays, July 14 and 21 and participants must be able to attend both sessions.

The cost is $20 and sessions run from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the cen- tre and the course is open to females 13 to 25 years old.

Cleaning, repairing and sealing it yourself can often be done with minimal effort. In fact, a wide range of prod- ucts specifically designed for asphalt is available at many hardware stores. Made of thermoplastic acrylic and easy to use, these products will pro- tect and repair asphalt, provide a black or coloured satin-finish sur- face, facilitate cleaning and ensure durable pro- tection against oil, gas and frost. They are also environmentally friendly since they are water- based and contain low levels of solvent. And since they don’t stick to the soles of your shoes, they won’t stain your floor coverings. Degrease cleaners are formulated to remove oil stains. They will dissolve, flush out and grab on to the grease, making clean- ing easier. To fix cracks that are 1 cm or larger, crack sealant can be used and for cracks that are 2 cm wide or more, such as potholes, holes and hol- lows, a repair compound can be used. Leveling compound is effective in repairing irregularities and depressions, as well as cracks that are larger than 1 cm wide. It will also work with depres- sions and hollows that are less than 2 cm. Acrylic coats and acrylic protective sealant will provide a black satin surface and return the asphalt to its original look while offering durable protection. These low-cost solutions are effective ways of improv- ing the look of your asphalt. You can make your asphalt look new again by repairing, cleaning and sealing it. A wide range of products specifical- ly designed for asphalt is available at many hardware stores.

Sure Fit started 37 years in a small corner of the factory. Every Saturday morning they sold their fabric remnants to local home sewers. Today the Home Decor Genuine Factory Outlet offers over 5000 products in a much larger corner of the factory. The remnants are still on the sample table just as they were in 1964, but as the explosion in home fash- ion caused the business to grow, so did the factory outlet. As Owner Bernard Barry points out “Furnishings and lifestyle products are the focus of today’s home. The sophis- ticated homeowner can express that good taste through a well coordinated room.” The success of Home Decor Factory Outlet, located just south of Westney off Hwy 401, is truly one of the best shop- ping experiences you’ll ever have. Here, you can redeco- rate your home for a frac- tion of the price. From ready-made window fash- ions to lamps, the Outlet offers quality and value. It’s truly the affordable alternative for every room in your home. Five Day Sure Fit Truckload Sale in Port Perry Home Sweet HomeHome Sweet Home ADVERTISING FEATURE Now’s The Time To Decorate Your Patio 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 cut- ting things a bit close for a family of four people. All these things must be consid- ered before making any purchases. Fortunately, the choice of patio fur- niture is virtually endless. You can opt for high-backed swivel chairs-with or without cushions, adjustable lounge chairs, swinging loveseats with a canopy, bar stools, footstools as well as folding chairs for unexpected guests and a trolley for moving food and drinks around. An equally large variety exists for the type of table you can choose. Once you have determined the available space and the number of people who will be seated at this table, you can buy one that is square, round, oval or rectangular. And if the patio gets a lot of sun, consid- er adding a parasol. And don’t forget to save some room for the barbecue! GENUINE THANK YOU DURHAM FOR YOUR SUPPORT We’re a FACTORY, We’re a STORE...

DR. DOLITTLE 2 Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jeffrey Jones, Lil’ Zane, Kevin Pollak, Kyla Pratt. Directed by Steve Carr. Eddie Murphy returns as the doctor who can talk to the animals. This time, it’s Dolit- tle versus Darwin in the ulti- mate man versus nature showdown, in the midst of the animal kingdom’s first labour strike. The now-fa- mous doctor has more pa- tients — two-legged and four-legged — than he can handle. But, his animal friends want more than office visits. The outraged critters want to save the forest from unscrupulous human devel- opers and they’re seeking Dolittle’s help. Dolittle concocts a plan to save the forest: find an endan- gered species the law pro- tects. He discovers a lone en- dangered pacific western bear, Ava, living in the con- demned forest. But, she needs a mate and Dolittle thinks he’s found one in Archie, a city-dwelling, wise- cracking, fast-food-loving, circus-performing bear. Although Archie initially resists the idea, Dolittle con- vinces him there’s love to be found in his natural habitat. Dolittle and his dog Lucky head to the forest to try and teach Archie the ways of the wild. Unfortunately, it’s hard- ly a love connection for the mismatched bears as Ava is unimpressed by Archie’s bumbling antics. And, Lucky’s love life with a local wolf isn’t faring much better. Will Dolittle’s animal friends start walking picket lines? Can he come up with the right prescription to bring Ava and Archie together and save the forest? It’s down to the wire as Dolittle and com- pany give the money-hungry land-grabbers a taste of real bargaining power — wilder- ness style. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas - Pick- ering Town Centre). THE FAST AND THE FU- RIOUS Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Hill Harper, Michelle Ro- driguez. Directed by Rob Cohen. Dominic Toretto (Diesel) drives the streets of L.A. as if he owns them. As far as his crew is concerned, he does. He spends his days putting wrench-time into high perfor- mance racing cars — make and model matter less than the computer-controlled fuel injection that makes them fly. At night, Dominic pilots his own earth-bound rocket, pocketing as much as $10,000 a ride when some- body has the nerve to race him. The races are street the- atre, tribal gathering and bat- tlefield, fuelled by adrena- line, sexual tension and raw, out-of-control speed. Throngs pack otherwise des- olate streets to cheer and to jeer and to belong. Dominic struts though this high-octane outlaw scene like a rock star, presiding over the hungry roar of engines, all set to test the limits. Brian (Walker) is set to test the limits, too. He prides himself on street smarts, but to this crowd he’s white bread. He seeks Dominic’s ap- proval behind the wheel of his own muscle machine. After a blazing encounter with ruthless Johnny Tran, Dominic decides Brian is all right. Dominic’s sister Mia (Brewster) likes what she sees, too. The thing is, they don’t know he’s a cop. Brian is deep undercover, investi- gating a series of sensational big-rig hijackings. The police and FBI need it to stop before the truckers take matters into their own hands. Cash flows freely through the street-rac- ing scene and the cops know some of the money is dirty. Dominic and Johnny are both suspects. As the rivalry between Dominic’s and Johnny Tran’s crews esca- lates to ever more dangerous levels, Brian’s bonds with Dominic and Mia deepen. He feels genuine kinship with Dominic, and the attraction between him and Mia is too strong to deny. But, he’s still a cop and as the pressure to wrap up the hijacking case intensifies, Brian must decide where his loyalties lie and what his limits really are.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU This was the comment of a young couple who had just walked in ahead of me and saw the line was back out the door. They started to walk out. I introduced myself and said they would be at the counter in less than ten minutes or their order was free. They jumped into the line! They arrived at the counter in 7 minutes. I gave it to them anyway! Yes the lineups are long but they move quickly. But there are times when it does take longer make no mistake about that. When a baseball coach orders 15 cones for his team (and the kids look so cute!) or when a soccer coach orders 20 sundaes it may take a LITTLE longer. But they have our great sports bloopers on TV to watch while they are waiting! And don’t forget about Trivia TV. But that’s not the MAIN reason. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG? The very reason it takes so long is what makes our store so successful. We make our desserts from scratch! Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 steps to make a fresh Dairy Queen dessert. More people have commented on how delicious the Brownie Earthquake sounded when I described it in the last article. BUT did you notice how many steps were involved? Regular Dairy Queen customers keep coming back because we make our desserts and our fast food from scratch. They don’t mind waiting for a flame broiled burger on a fresh bun and they don’t mind waiting for the Cadillac of soft serve desserts. And when our regulars finish their dessert it’s the taste of that great combination of ingredients that brings them back time and time again. There is no comparison even when you go into any restaurant with the richest of desserts none of them have our world famous soft serve. How good are the ingredients that we use? The quality of Dairy Queen strawberries alone are so high that only a few companies in North America can supply strawberries to match the specs required of International Dairy Queen for its berries. I challenge you to try a DQ strawberry sundae or a fresh DQ strawberry shake and see the difference. Try this if you don’t believe me. Buy a strawberry sundae and run that spoon through that cold creamy SWEET soft serve and plunge it down into the strawberries. Now here is what will happen. First you will be overpowered by that incredible strawberry taste quickly followed by the sweet surge of the strawberry sauce and almost instantly by the incredible explosion of that cold creamy soft serve taste. If you don’t love this sundae take one of the customer comment cards at the cake line and fill it out with your name and phone number. I’ll call you and tell you when you can pick up gift certificates to cover the cost of that sundae. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. See our coupon below.

A/P PAGE 30 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 22, 2001 In 2000, the Municipal Councils of the Cities of Oshawa and Pickering commis- sioned The Berkeley Consulting Group to un- dertake an independent evaluation of gover- nance options for Durham. Seven options were assessed using four criteria (political accountability and represen- tation, size/scope for strategic effectiveness, cost/value for taxpayers and fair tax impacts). In delivering the ‘Made-in-Durham’ gov- ernance solution draft report to the councils, Berkeley points out that “all studies have lim- itations”. “Within the budget available to us, the evaluation of the options for Durham Region municipalities was comprehensive but at a ‘high level’. Detailed operational studies were not conducted. However, our evaluation will allow citizens and municipal councils to appreciate the ‘high level’ consequences of various governance options. With the infor- mation provided, all parties can take any de- sired next steps knowing that they are better informed.” Following is a condensed list of the con- clusions drawn by The Berkely Consulting Group. More detailed ‘Working Papers’ are available through the municipalities of Os- hawa and Pickering. Conclusions (from the Durham Governance Review Pub- lic Summary Report by The Berkeley Con- sulting Group) Based on our evaluation of options, we offer the following observations and conclusions. Potential for Savings Exists Within Durham but Risks are Significant — Our assessment of savings opportunities concluded that up to 5% savings are possible. However, the po- tential cost increase associated with service harmonization, and especially wage harmo- nization, make amalgamations a risk proposi- tion. Amalgamating to One City of Durham is especially risky. Proposed Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) Role has a Significant Impact on Fu- ture Governance — The recently proposed role of the GTSB has been approved by members of the GTSB and is awaiting provincial approval. The plan is for an evolv- ing GTSB that will start with planning and transportation functions, and evolve over time adding special purpose bodies as appro- priate. No Clear Governance Model for the Long Term — Our evaluation suggests that there are some possible options for the future given the GTSB evolves as planned. However, it would be premature to settle on a future model given that the GTSB will take time to evolve. Continue Working Within the Current Struc- ture — In the short term, there is no better governance structure than the current one. Therefore, municipalities should continue to work with it until the GTSB evolution is clar- ified over the next five or so years. There are some ‘do’s and don’ts’ about how to evolve within the current structure given our assess- ment. Don’t Create a Larger Region, One Service at a Time — Strictly speaking, as the Fern Re- sort Resolution suggests, slim down the Re- gion. Avoid expanding regional services, one-by-one based on technical analysis of po- tential benefits. Creating a bigger Region of Durham is strategically unsound given the fu- ture evolution of the GTA governance sys- tem. Do Encourage Cooperation Among Area Mu- nicipalities on Local Services — Given the longer term vision, it makes sense to consoli- date local services among municipalities and to arrange contracting between municipalities to economize. This builds on work already in progress among municipalities and on recent decisions (joint transit in Ajax and Picker- ing). These initiatives should be extended. Do Review Regional Functions in a GTA Context — With an emerging GTSB, a num- ber of Regional functions should be re- viewed. These reviews should concern the regional role given GTSB (planning) and consider broader approaches to deliver ser- vices working with other parts of the GTA (ambulances with York Region). Fresh Thinking about Durham Governance Includes the GTA and Services Boards — There is time to develop sound approaches that will benefit taxpayers and citizens of Durham. That will require fresh thinking and questioning of the old assumptions. The first key assumption is to face the reality of the GTA and consider it in forming options for Durham. Second, there needs to be some re- consideration of the value of service boards and special purpose bodies to manage region- wide services. Option #1: Region and Three Cities Rural Northern City One northern rural municipality com- prised of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge. Population: 47,924 Households: 19,550 Western Lakefront City A western lakefront city comprised of Ajax and Pickering. Population: 160,000 Households: 49,200 Eastern Lakefront City An eastern lakefront city comprised of Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. Population: 293,023 Households: 100,425 Aside from consolidating local services within the new area municipalities, there are few changes to the service alignment in this option. The major change would be the assignment of regional roads to the local level. In the proposal, we have esti- mated the impacts of funding the regional roads both at the local level and at the re- gional level. Political Accountability & Representation Public input required Scope/Size & Strategic Effectiveness Does not fit with an evolved GTSB Cost/Value to Taxpayers Limited savings (2%) with low risks. Fair Tax Impacts Dramatic increases for Whitby, Uxbridge Moderate ones for Scugog and Picker- ing Gains for Clarington (minor), Ajax, Os- hawa and especially Brock Overall, this option is rejected. There are limited benefits and substantial neg- ative consequences in the short-term to tax levels. The option makes little sense in the longer term with a GTSB evolving into greater services. Option #2: Region and Three Cities Rural Northern City One northern/eastern rural municipality comprised of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge. Population: 47,924 Households: 19,550 Western Lakefront City A western lakefront city comprised of Ajax Pickering and Whitby. Population: 243,200 Households: 75,975 Eastern Lakefront City An eastern lakefront city comprised of Oshawa and Clarington. Population: 209,823 Households: 73,650 This is similar to Option #1 with Whitby moved to the Western Lakefront City. Political Accountability & Representation Public input required Scope/Size & Strategic Effectiveness Does not fit with an evolved GTSB Cost/Value to Taxpayers Limited savings (2%) with low risks Fair Tax Impacts Moderate increases for Uxbridge, Scu- gog and Pickering Little change for Oshawa, Clarington and Whitby. Gains for Ajax, and especially Brock Overall, changes will create opposition but they are potentially acceptable Overall, this option is rejected. It is more palatable from a tax shift point of view. However, it delivers limited bene- fits and does not fit in the longer term given the expected GTSB role and evolu- tion. Option #3: Region and Four Cities Rural Northwest City One northwest rural municipality com- prised of Brock and Uxbridge. Population: 28,496 Households: 10,888 Western Lakefront City A western lakefront city comprised of Ajax and Pickering. Population: 160,000 Households: 49,200 Eastern Lakefront City An eastern lakefront city comprised of Whitby and Oshawa. Population: 224,820 Households: 77,691 Eastern Rural City An eastern rural city comprised of Scu- gog and Clarington Population: 87,631 Households: 31,396 This option is similar to Options #1 and #2 except the rurally-oriented municipalities are kept together. Political Accountability & Representation Public input required Scope/Size & Strategic Effectiveness Does not fit with an evolved GTSB Cost/Value to Taxpayers Limited savings (2%) with low risks Fair Tax Impacts Dramatic increases for Whitby, Uxbridge Moderate ones for Scugog and Picker- ing Gains for Clarington (minor), Ajax, Os- hawa and especially Brock Overall, unacceptable level of changes. Overall, this option is rejected. It pro- vides limited benefits and creates unac- ceptable tax shifts among current com- munities. It does not fit a long-term vi- sion with an evolving GTSB.

The Berkeley Consulting Group, which was retained by the City of Picker- ing and the City of Oshawa last fall to de- velop and evaluate a number of gover- nance options for Durham Region, is hosting the meeting at 7 p.m. to outline the ‘Made-in-Durham Governance Study Draft Report’. The public meeting takes place in council chambers at the Pickering Civic Complex, One The Esplanade. For more information, call Tom Mely- muk, head of corporate projects and poli- cy, at 905-420-4636. Option #4: Two Single-Tier Cities (North and South) Northern Rural City One northern rural municipality com- prised of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge and Clarington. Population: 116,127 Households: 42,284 Southern City One southern urban lakefront municipal- ity comprised of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa. Population: 384,820 Households: 126,891 The aim for this model is to have each city be self-sufficient. The northern rural city is broad geographically but it contains a size- able population and assessment base. Regional services need to be devolved or assumed by another entity. Police could be assumed by its own Board; water/sewer delivered by a region-wide utility. There are a number of alternative arrangements for Social and Health Services. A designated Service Manager could deliver them across the region — either the Southern City or a separate Board. Political Accountability & Representation Public input required Scope/Size & Strategic Effectiveness Does fit with an evolved GTSB. Creates areas with similar challenges and needs Cost/Value to Taxpayers Moderate savings (about 5%) with medium/low risks Fair Tax Impacts Dramatic increases for Pickering, Scu- gog and Uxbridge Moderate ones for Whitby. Little change for Clarington and Ajax Dramatic gains for Oshawa and espe- cially Brock. Overall, quite dramatic changes with poten- tially strong opposition. Overall, this option is possible in the longer term. It provides significant po- tential benefits with relatively low risks. Its major weakness concerns the tax im- pacts if implemented in the current situ- ation. It could not easily be implement- ed in the short term until the GTSB’s role evolves to play a stronger role in GTA-wide services.

Overall, dramatic and potentially unaccept- able Overall, this option is possible in the longer term. It provides benefits with moderate risks. Its major weakness con- cerns the tax impacts if implemented in the current situation.

Moderate level of changes compared with others. Overall, this option is possible in the longer term. The placement of Whitby with Ajax and Pickering makes less sense in terms of natural boundaries and limits the savings potential for operational effi- ciencies. However, this option creates tax impacts that are more acceptable. It could not easily be implemented in the short term until the GTSB’s role evolves to play a stronger role in GTA-wide services. Option #7: One City of Durham Amalgamation into one city — Region and the existing eight municipalities become one city Population: 500,947 Households: 169,175 Potential for a Community Council in each ex- isting municipal area to deal with local by-laws. Satellite offices will be required to ensure ac- cess across Durham. Some urban services (for example, transit, full- time firefighters) may be area rated so that taxpayers not receiving services would not pay for them. Political Accountability & Representation Public input required Scope/Size & Strategic Effectiveness Does not appear needed with an evolved GTSB Creates one area with diverse challenges and needs Cost/Value to Taxpayers Moderate savings (about 5%) possible Risks are high and could prove very costly — service and wage harmonization risks out- weigh potential savings Fair Tax Impacts Dramatic increases for Pickering Moderate ones for Whitby No change for Ajax Moderate Gains for Uxbridge, Scugog, Oshawa, Clarington Dramatic gains for Brock. Overall, significant opposition owing to negative impacts Overall, this option is rejected in both the long term and short term. While this op- tion has the highest potential savings, they are not much higher than other options with less risk. The risks and tax impacts make it unacceptable in the short term. Its major weakness concerns how it would tend to undermine and conflict with the planned role for the GTSB. It would unnec- essarily centralize the governing of local services and limit local accountability.

The Dolphins blanked the Hawkeyes 27-0 at Kinsmen Park in Pickering to up their record to a per- fect 3-0. The Dolphins’ special teams accounted for the first touchdown of the game as the bantams scored on a kickoff return. No other scoring informa- tion was provided. The defence also played a large role in the game’s outcome. The bantams travel to Burlington for a game against the Stampeders Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, in Dol- phins’ tyke house league play last Friday, the Titans and Phantoms played to a 6-6 tie. Running back Myles Daly scored for the Phantoms, while running back Tosh Miller Francis countered for the Titans. In the other tyke con- test, the Bulldogs’bite was definitely worse than their bark. Just ask the Blue Devils who were beaten 35-6. Darnell Brown, Andre Shand and Alan Forsythe scored the Bull- dogs’ touch- downs. Other scoring in- formation was not provid- ed. The Mud Dogs downed the Warriors 22-12 in a well-played, hard-fought contest in Dolphins’ atom house league play. Ian Schofield, Huntley Richards and David McIl- ravey scored touchdowns. Kicker Justice Mounsey also had a good day, adding several points to the Mud Dogs’ total. War- riors’ quarterback David Priestman kept the game close and competitive. Warriors linemen Mitchell Ting Fooh and Lucas Moody provided excellent efforts. Other scoring in- formation was not provid- ed. In the other atom game, the TimberWolves used an aerial barrage to defeat the Blue Devils 22-6. The TimberWolves’ Matthew Davis and Kadeem Hutchinson played excel- lent defensive games. Hutchinson, from his de- fensive back position, snared two interceptions. Andrew Smith hooked up with quarterback Travis Thomas on a beautiful 65- yard pass-and-run play that went for a touchdown. Blue Devils quarterback Joel Morvay threw many perfect spirals to his re- ceivers, including a 45- yard hook-up with Mark Fedosen. Other scoring in- formation was not provid- ed.
