The unexpected storm hit around 8:30 p.m., bringing high winds and torrential rain. Forecasters said there was a slight chance of rain Tuesday night, but the grey, puffy clouds that appeared late in the day gave no warning of the storm that quickly fol- lowed. “It kept us busy here; we’re still in cleanup mode,” said Jeff Stewart, the Town of Ajax’s manager of parks and envi- ronmental ser- vices, in an in- terview Thurs- day. All available Town forces, plus an addi- tional forestry crew brought in to help, have been busy cut- ting up trees that fell on roads or park paths, or are dangling from trees and posing a danger, said Mr. Stewart. The storm seemed to cut a clear swath through the town, hitting Pickering Village, and then contin- uing south toward the lake, before veering east, he noted. “We had a garden shed literally sucked off its foundation and carried onto the road,” he said, adding large trees were similarly plucked from the ground.

Durham Regional Police Consta- ble Phil Reed, traffic safety co-ordi- nator at the Ajax Pickering Commu- nity Police Office, reported the mandatory inspections will be imple- mented next year in an effort to en- sure every taxicab operating here is in good condition. The Durham Regional Police traf- fic safety branch conducted a taxi blitz in Pickering Tuesday, along with the provincial Ministry of Transporta- tion and officers from the Ajax and Pickering bylaw departments. Const. Reed reported while the re- sults of Tuesday’s inspection were better than those from a blitz in March, there are still taxis operating in the area that haven’t been inspect- ed in either blitz. “There were a number that were hiding obviously,” Const. Reed said, noting he’s suggested the Ajax and Pickering bylaw departments follow- up with the drivers and issue notices for failing to report for the inspection. He said the taxicabs that were in- spected were selected at random on Monday. “We just swooped on them (at the taxicab stands) and gave them notices (to attend the inspection),” he said, noting local bylaw officers also con- tacted the taxi companies in the area and told them to send their cars in. Of the 107 taxis registered in Ajax and Pickering, 47 were given notices to attend the inspection, held at the Ajax Pickering Community Police Office on Hwy. 2 at Brock Road in Pickering. Thirty-six taxicabs passed the in- spection without faults. Of the re- maining 11, two had their plates re- moved and were towed as unsafe ve- hicles, while another nine vehicles had minor defects. Const. Reed said the worst defects were found in the cabs that had plates removed. One had a leaking gas tank, while the other required major front- end repairs. The blitz held in Pickering during March found 52 per cent of the 39 taxis inspected had defects. But, the improved results may be because drivers were notified of the inspection a day in advance, he said. “A number of cabs showed up with obvious new parts in them,” Const. Reed said. “So from that standpoint it was successful.” He reported cab drivers weren’t given as much notice prior to the blitz held in March, noting the “primary objective (at that time) was to catch out the mechanics who had given cer- tification at the time of (annual li- cence plate) renewals in February.” Const. Reed added three mechanic shops are currently under investiga- tion by the MTO as a result. The taxis that were not inspected in Tuesday’s blitz will be required to attend a mandatory inspection at a fu- ture date.

He wondered if a severe downdraft or microburst was to blame, noting, “Something weird took place”. Church Street South res- ident Kirsten Abell won- dered if a tornado hit the area, noting how quickly the weather changed. “It was beautiful, except for a few grey clouds, and then wham,” she said. The wind uprooted a large willow tree near the rented home she shares with husband John Hovian- seian. The tree came crash- ing down onto the couple’s Honda CRX, totalling the vehicle. “It must have been a twister, because I saw a couple of funnel clouds,” said Ms. Abell, who attend- ed high school and college in Texas, which is prime twister country. Not anticipating the bad weather, Ms. Abell had gone out. Mr. Hovianseian went outside to roll up the windows of their Saturn when their dog, Kalli, “went crazy”, which Ms. Abell said was very un- characteristic. “She was not happy about him being outside,” she said. The wind was howling at this point, and Ms. Abell said her husband, watching from inside, saw the ground beneath the large tree lift. “He decided to step away from the window be- cause it was so bad,” she said. It was at that point that the tree came down on the car, also wiping out the shed, a dog run in the back- yard, and Ms. Abell’s perennial garden. She was trying to figure out the cost of the damage, estimating $3,000 to $4,000 for the Honda. Veridian Connections operator Jim Gilchrist noted, “We had quite a few trees down in the Pickering area, nothing too serious.” He said roughly 4,900 homes were without power for about two hours Tues- day night after a large tree came down on power lines in the Dixie Road and Finch Avenue area. He added there were some minor outages as well. Pickering firefighters responded to two car acci- dents and one alarm ring- ing call, said Deputy Fire Chief Mark Diotte, adding he does not know if they were related to the bad weather. Mr. Stewart said resi- dents should call the opera- tions department at 905- 683-2951 to report haz- ardous trees or limbs that may pose a danger, or if they have any other ques- tions.

The councillors, along with Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs for Ontario Power Generation (OPG), represented the City. Picker- ing was the only Canadian municipality to make a pre- sentation at the conference, which was attended by roughly 500 delegates from more than 20 countries. “Every aspect of it really went perfectly,” Coun. Hol- land said. “Our presentation definitely got a lot of notice.” The presentation focused on the community involve- ment and partnerships with local corporations that have made the project a success. And, Coun. Holland re- ported, “There is a lot to fol- low-up on. It was a real suc- cess, a trip that really worked out well. I’m happy with the opportunities that have come out of it... there are going to be some long-term benefits.” One of those benefits may be a solution to connect the east and west spits in French- man’s Bay, said Coun. Hol- land, who added he has sev- eral ideas for the project after seeing other presentations about waterfront develop- ment at the conference. “It’s hard to say more at this point,” he said, noting a presentation on the east/west spit connection is being planned for council’s Aug. 7 meeting. Meanwhile, Coun. Bren- ner estimated about 150 peo- ple attended the councillors’ presentation, which he said was “well-received” by the delegates, many of whom were interested in how the City formed partnerships and found the money to move forward with the project. Councillors Brenner and Holland also had an opportu- nity to meet with York West MP Judy Sgro, who serves as chairman of a federal task force on urban renewal, and Mississauga West MP Steve Mahoney who also sits on the task force. The councillors brought back information for the City’s planning department, including “a checklist to evaluate sustainable commu- nities”, Coun. Brenner said.

It was with great interest that I read Linda Sims’account of her visit to the su- permarket. It seems to me she judged the rest of the people in the store without reason, based solely on her perception. Could it be that she was observing herself, and that maybe she has issues around her lack of self-worth when it comes to being ac- cepted in another country other than her own? It has been my experience that it is im- possible to see in others what we do not have in ourselves. We tend to create dra- mas based on our own perceptions, ac- cording to our past experiences or fears. Could it be that the other people in the store were preoccupied with other thoughts and didn’t notice the short line- up elsewhere?

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 13, 2001 Recently, many people, includ- ing myself, were surprised and shocked to hear the Whitby con- stituency office of Ontario’s fi- nance minister, Jim Flaherty, had been raided and trashed by an anti- poverty organization. While I don’t in any way advo- cate or condone violence as a means to an end, there is something about this particular event that compels me to look at and reflect upon the broader picture. There’s no doubt in my mind that had I been a staff member on duty that day, I too would have been horrified and very frightened by a busload of people whose sole purpose was to create enough havoc to make a point. On the other hand, it’s not diffi- cult to understand the frustration that provoked such an action in the first place. The organization’s purpose, as I understand it, was to illustrate in a very dramatic way, what it is like for poverty-stricken people in this country to frequently be evicted from their homes. And in that, I be- lieve they succeeded. We read about huge pay increas- es for provincial and federal mem- bers of Parliament, salaries paid to sports figures, heads of large cor- porations receiving millions of dol- lars in bonuses each year and banks and oil companies making huge profits, while the level of poverty remains high in our country. Handing out pamphlets to bring our attention to the problem does little if anything to solve it. How many of us even look at them when they are handed to us on the street, or scan a headline on the subject and then, without a second thought, move onto the next page? I, myself, am a law-abiding citi- zen. I have to admit that I would not have the courage to storm an MPP’s office. But something inside of me insists I have at least some appreciation and respect for those who can and do, particularly where such justice issues are concerned. The recent action has certainly caught our attention in a way no other has so far. And while it may not produce the organization’s desired results, have we not been provoked and challenged, at least a little bit, to think about this very serious prob- lem in our society in a way we had- n’t before this happened?

That old refrain was whistling through the halls of Parlia- ment Hill last weekend. Friends and foes of Stockwell Day were serenading the end of his duties as Canadian Alliance leader and very likely his political career. Funny thing though; the music stopped Monday and Mr. Day was still the embattled leader of the Alliance — for how long is the big question. We’ve had backbenchers in the past complaining about their leader, but not to such an extent as the ‘rebel’forces within the Alliance. They want blood and aren’t going to stop until the sun sets on Mr. Day. To his credit, he realizes the party might be better off with a new leader — just not right away. Why else would he put so many conditions on his resignation? He offered to resign, but on his own terms. Fair enough, the party supporters voted him the boss and he is still the man in charge. It’s been reported he’ll quit but not until the next leadership convention in 2002. This would solid- ify him as a lame duck leader and fail to resolve the current in- fighting or give Canadians the strong voice in opposition they rightly deserve. Among Mr. Day’s reported conditions for leaving were picking his replacement, and thus, providing him with an op- portunity to run the party from an arm’s-length until next spring. The pregnant pause obviously doesn’t sit well with the MPs looking to pilot the Alliance in another direction. And who can blame them? The Alliance has suspended 13 ‘Rebel’MPs for their public criticisms of Mr. Day and as the summer wears on, that num- ber will grow. Every time an Alliance MP stood in the house, he had rea- son to cringe at the possible salvo coming his way. The bigger defection for Mr. Day, however, is that of the public support. He long ago lost his status as leader of the op- position in the eyes of the voters and has no chance of winning it back. The lack of a legitimate voice of opposition in Ottawa has the Liberals laughing all the way to the next set of polls. The momentum the Alliance mustered in the last election is being frittered away. It has to stop. The Conservatives and the Alliance must get on with the realignment of the right and put the Stockwell Day error behind them. Next on the chopping block: Jean Chretien.

Award-winning author/illustrator Kim Fernandes, who hosted the unique seminar, was giving Anthony a hand. Only two people have their say at Pickering governance meeting Open house detailed seven options for future makeup of Durham BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING — After months of debate on the merits of municipal restructuring and an extensive study into new governance options for Durham, only two members of the public turned up at a recent meeting to learn more about the Region’s future. The Berkeley Consulting Group, commissioned by the cities of Pickering and Oshawa to conduct a study into the vari- ous options for municipal re- structuring in Durham, hosted a meeting at the Civic Complex Wednesday to outline their find- ings. But, unlike the meeting held in Oshawa the previous night, which attracted roughly 50 peo- ple, only two community mem- bers came out to talk about local governance here. “I don’t think governance models are a hot-button issue when it’s 90 degrees outside,” the mayor said following the meeting, which ended up being an informal discussion between residents, the mayor and the consultants. “There is no sense of ur- gency,” Mayor Arthurs said, noting the Berkeley study has been available for some time and the Province has backed off on the issue of municipal amal- gamations. “People weren’t sure whether this was going to be a hot issue even when we started last year,” said Jim Mackay of the Berkeley group, noting the issue is “not as controversial in Pickering as it is in Oshawa.” Despite the small number in attendance, Mr. Mackay pro- ceeded to outline the study, which examined seven options for the future of the region, ranging from the creation of one large city to other options call- ing for the creation of either two or three cities here. Some op- tions included the continuation of the Regional government and others did not. He explained the entire study was based on the “assumption” that the Greater Toronto Ser- vices Board (GTSB) will even- tually take on a broader role in the funding and planning of in- frastructure across the Greater Toronto Area. “We’re going to have a third level of government of sorts,” Mr. Mackay said. “Given that, it doesn’t make sense to consoli- date eight municipalities into three cities and still have a Re- gion.” He believes the best options for Durham’s future would be the creation of two or three larg- er cities here, without a Region- al government. However, he said the best course of action for the immedi- ate future is to continue with the current structure. “In the short term, there is not an option that has any com- pelling reason to jump to,” he said. Of the options reviewed by the Berkeley group, Mayor Arthurs says he favours the sin- gle tier city models, with a sec- ond tier that’s either the Region or an inter-regional body. He continues to maintain the amalgamation of Ajax and Pick- ering is a logical step, but main- tains it would be premature to act on the issue prior to the de- termination of the GTSB’s fu- ture role. Meanwhile, Pickering resi- dent Terry James, one of the two people to attend Wednesday’s meeting, said while he believes the Region has a role to play, there are too many representa- tives at the Regional level. “I’d like to see fewer politi- cians. I don’t believe we need 29 councillors at the Region,” he said, adding “If the system is working now, fine tune it, but don’t change it.” Decorate your home for Summer.

Jenny Gould, Royal Bank’s re- gional vice-president for Vaughan/York/Durham, was on hand at the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS) Thursday to present hospital officials with a cheque for $350,000 toward capital expansion at Rouge Valley’s two sites. “A strong hospital system is a cor- nerstone in the foundation of a strong community,” she said. “You may have heard us talk about helping our cus- tomers build their dreams. At the Royal Bank Financial Group we be- lieve that communities also have dreams that are worth building on. We are proud to help the RVHS and this community build theirs.” The APHC and the Centenary Health Centre are planning extensive expansion projects over the next few years. The hospital foundations are committed to raising a total of $34 million toward the campaign. “We have a big job to do, an ambi- tious goal to reach and some hard work ahead of us,” said Gord Sim- monds, chairman of the Ajax Picker- ing Hospital Foundation’s ‘Vital Links’ campaign. “At the APHC our dream includes a brand new emer- gency services department, an ex- panded diagnostic services centre, a new rehabilitation services centre, new ambulatory care services and ex- tensive infrastructure and clinical up- grades.” Al Whiting, chief executive officer of the RVHS, said the donation from the Royal Bank will be “applied to continue to offer services to the pop- ulation in west Durham and east Toronto. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker told the crowd gathered for the announcement that local MPPs are committed to “pushing to make this hospital what it should be, a full-service hospital for Ajax and Pickering.” Former Toronto Maple Leaf goal- tender and Ajax resident Glenn Healy was also on hand to show his support of the local hospital. “I grew up here... I was born in this hospital, so was my wife and both of my kids,” he said in an inter- view. “I’m going to retire here, if I can help out to improve the quality of health care, I will.” He added, “I’ve probably had 150 stitches just in this hospital alone.” A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 13, 2001 Hospital banks expansion funds Royal contributes $350,000 to Ajax and Pickering Health Centre’s plans AJAX —With big expansion plans in the works, Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem, which includes the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre, gladly accept- ed this $350,000 cheque from the Royal Bank Financial Group.

The News Advertiser is on the Web at durhamregion.com Police probing threat to burn down Flaherty’s office DURHAM — Police forensic in- vestigators are examining a threatening letter sent to the riding office of On- tario Finance Minister and Whitby- Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty this week in the hope of identifying the culprit. The typed letter, which arrived in an envelope by mail at the Dundas Street constituency office Tuesday, threatened to burn down the office. It made reference to an incident two years ago in which a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window. “The letter was seized for investi- gation and it is undergoing forensic ex- amination” in the hope it will yield clues to the author’s identity, said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. “The contents are disturbing, espe- cially in light of the history of incidents at the office,” he said. Other past trouble included a rock being thrown through the storefront window in 1998, mere hours after Mr. Flaherty, at the time the Province’s at- torney general, announced new mea- sures targeting outlaw biker gangs. Last month, 19 members of the On- tario Coalition Against Poverty were arrested after protesters stormed and ransacked the office, terrifying staff. AJAX —A 20-year-old Ajax man is one of 11 people charged following a three-month investigation into common fraud schemes. In total, the 11 face 67 charges, in- cluding defrauding the public, posses- sion of counterfeit credit cards, posses- sion of credit card data, possession of in- struments for falsifying credit card data, breach of recognizance, and possession of property obtained by crime. ‘Project 7’ was undertaken by the Peel Regional Police fraud bureau, the Ontario Provincial Police anti-rackets section and the Canadian Bankers Asso- ciation. Other police services involved included Durham Region, Windsor, Ot- tawa-Carleton and Halton Region, as well as the U.S. Secret Service. The investigation targeted criminal groups involved in common fraud schemes, such as credit and debt card ‘skimming’and counterfeiting, the theft of personal identification data and Inter- net-based fraud. Over the three months, six search warrants were executed. The total loss is still not known. Pardeep Mann, of Ajax, has been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud.

Regional councillors approved a motion at their July 4 council meet- ing that sets out a six-month process for Durham to consider imposing a development charge for the GO Transit Service, slated to undergo major improvements over the next decade. The Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB), which formally took control of GO Transit in August 1999, has approved a $1-billion, 10- year capital expansion plan and an $800-million rehabilitation and re- placement plan. And, according to Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, who sits on the GO Transit board, “Munici- palities and the regions cannot pos- sibly afford that.” Mr. Anderson reported the entire 905 region is looking to introduce DCs for GO Transit, which was pre- viously controlled and funded by the provincial Toronto Area Transit Op- erating Authority but is now paid for by the City of Toronto and the re- gions of Durham, York, Peel, Hal- ton, and Hamilton-Wentworth. Those six jurisdictions have re- tained the firm of C.N. Watson and Associates to prepare a GO Transit Service background study that will be available to the public for review prior to a series of meetings being held here this fall. According to the motion ap- proved by councillors, members of the public have until Sept. 28 to send written submissions on the issue to council. A public meeting will be held Oct. 10 to provide the public with an opportunity to make presentations to council. Durham council will con- sider the final recommendations and bylaw Nov. 14. The last day for the public to appeal the bylaw is Dec. 24. “We’re asking the Province to give us an opportunity, to give us a source of revenue,” Mr. Anderson said. “Development charges from new growth would pay for infrastruc- ture.” Mr. Anderson reported the Re- gion currently pays about $12 to $13 million a year to fund GO Transit’s operational costs. However, to complete GO Tran- sit’s infrastructure program alone, GO would need a total of $80 mil- lion a year for each of the next 10 years from the six partners. Mr. Anderson maintained that’s a cost municipalities simply cannot afford. Extra savings are off our last ticketed prices. Brand & selection will vary by store.

A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 13, 2001 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — A local group com- mitted to restoring sports and clubs to Durham high schools isn’t going away just yet. The Durham Coalition for Ex- tracurricular Activities (DCECA) was formed last fall to put pressure on the provincial government, the Durham District School Board and local high school teachers after an- other school year began without most activities. And while new provincial legisla- tion and a new contract between the board and its high school teachers are encouraging signs, DCECA spokesman Charlene Westbrook said committee members only have “cautious optimism that things will start to get back to nor- mal” this fall. She said the group would be mon- itoring what happens in September and has no plans to disband. “Not until we see that this situa- tion has resolved itself to a degree that we can say, ‘the kids have got the things they need in high school’,” said Ms. Westbrook. “We want a full complement of choices for the students that are going to include all the students’ in- terests, not just sports.” She said DCECA is worried the high school teacher contract and the Stability and Excellence in Education Act both happened at the end of the school year. It may make it difficult to get off to a running start in September, since a lot of planning is required and teachers are on holidays, said Ms. Westbrook. “If the teachers (who want to par- ticipate) are willing to work over the Activist group promises fight for extracurriculars is not done summer with the board of edu- cation and get things running, that would be great,” she said. Dan Munroe, the Henry Street High School pupil who led a student protest over a lack of activities last Septem- ber, said he believes some, but not all activities, will return in the fall. If that occurs, Mr. Munroe said he would consider orga- nizing another student walk- out. Before school ended, he said there was a fair bit of op- timism amongst students that September would see the re- turn of most, if not all, clubs and sports. “I don’t think anybody’s doubting that it’s happening,” said Mr. Munroe, adding until September, “it’s a waiting game”. Shelley Page, Durham pres- ident of the Ontario Secondary School teachers’Federation, in a recent interview said it would be, and always has been, up to individual teachers to decide if their schedule permits ex- tracurricular involvement. The Durham District School Board and its high school teachers ratified a new collec- tive agreement last week, the first negotiated deal in five years. Implementing the new, 6.25-of-eight-class instruction- al workload, it provides teach- ers with more time in their schedule, time that could be spent on after-school activities. “We’re expecting big things from the board after the disap- pointments of the last few years; we’re expecting big things from the board and the teachers,” said Ms. Westbrook.

He was introducing Bill 160, the Education Quality Improve- ment Act, that among other things gave the Province the power to set teaching time standards. The amended bill became law two months later, and the Province increased the time high school teachers, on average, must spend in classrooms. From six- of-every-eight classes every two days, the new standard became 6.5 of eight, (it became 6.67 when the ‘teacher advisor pro- gram’was included with the pass- ing of Bill 74). That works out to four hours and 10 minutes, or 1,250 minutes of instructional time per week, which the govern- ment said was about the national average. The bill sparked a teachers’ strike, a Supreme Court of Cana- da challenge and bitterness that exists to this day. When the gov- ernment further clarified the teaching time definition last year, in essence closing loopholes that had given school boards and teacher unions bargaining room in assigning teacher workload, the withdrawal of most extracur- ricular activities from the province’s high schools followed. Teachers claimed the addition of an extra class allowed them no time to lead clubs, direct plays and coach sports. The Mike Harris government has always maintained it is not asking educators to do anything more than their colleagues across the country. But, comparing the workload of a teacher in British Columbia or Nova Scotia with an Ontario high school teacher can be an exercise in comparing ap- ples with oranges. Classroom instruction is the most visible part of a teachers’ job, but there’s a lot of work done outside the classroom as well. Lesson preparation, marking and contacting parents significantly add to the workload. And, the more students in a class, and the more classes a teacher is respon- sible for, the greater the work- load. The Canadian Teachers’ Fed- eration says the average Canadian teacher works 50 hours a week when these non-classroom duties are added to instructional time. If teaching time alone is the measure, teachers in several provinces appear to be spending more time teaching than their On- tario colleagues. “Our contract provides for 27.5 hours (1,650 minutes) of in- struction per week, spanning five days for secondary teachers,” Deborah Carty, a spokesman for the Vancouver School Board, said in an interview. “Our timetable is an eight- block rotation which spans over two days — Day 1 and Day 2. During this two-day period, teachers instruct for a total of seven blocks, (one hour is a non- instructional period for students) and each class is from 75 to 80 minutes long. So, a teacher might teach four blocks on day 1 and then three blocks on day 2, just as an example.” In other words, it’s a seven of eight-class schedule. She says teaching time in- cludes in-class instruction, class reading periods and the five min- utes between classes. Unlike On- tario, where the number of on- calls is negotiated between school boards and local teacher bargaining units, B.C. teachers do not have to cover for their absent colleagues. “We have an employee on-call service that teachers call early in the (morning), and substitutes are called into the district,” says Ms. Carty. Teachers are required to super- vise students at lunchtime, and while she says how much de- pends on the size of the high school, it’s “usually less than an hour a month on average”. Next door in Alberta, collec- tive agreements between the Al- berta Teachers’ Federation and school districts in Calgary and Edmonton are due to expire at the end of August. At Edmonton School District No. 7, high school teachers can- not be assigned duties in excess of 1,800 minutes per week, of which a maximum of 1,400 are devoted to the instruction of pupils. The remaining 400 minutes are for student supervision, pro- fessional activities like in-service sessions, staff meetings and parent/teacher conferences. It’s a similar story at Calgary School District No. 19. Teachers must be instructing students for 1,380 minutes per week, with the remaining 420 minutes devoted to marking students’ work, lesson prepara- tion, supervision and student interviews. At the other end of the country, the New Brunswick Teachers’ Asso- ciation is in ne- gotiations with the government for a new, provincewide agree- ment. Jim Dysart, the association’s deputy executive director, said the current agreement requires a minimum of 1,650 minutes and a maximum of 1,800 minutes per week from teachers. But, that number includes the other com- ponents that make up a teacher’s day, including an average of 35 minutes per day of preparation time. “That (workload) varies from school to school, jurisdiction to jurisdiction,” said Mr. Dysart. Supervisory time is equally shared among all staff, including principals and vice-prin- cipals, who are members of the teachers’ asso- ciation, unlike the setup in Ontario. Only in emergencies, such as when a teacher becomes ill and has to leave the school, do teachers have to cover on-calls. “Teachers have an opportunity to refuse if it’s not an emer- gency,” said Mr. Dysart. In semestered schools, over a two-year period teachers generally teach three out of four classes for three terms and four out of four for one term. Mr. Dysart is again quick to say it would be in- correct to say that applies to all teachers, as there are variations. He said there is flexibility at the school level in terms of as- signing workload. Specifically, each school has a teacher committee to allocate provincial funding dedicated specifically for its use in the areas of preparation time and supervi- sory duties, which amounted to $100-plus dollars per year per teacher in the 1999/2000 school year. “In smaller schools, where su- pervision may be an issue, they may, for example, use their fund- ing to hire someone to come in on an hourly basis to help super- vise,” said Mr. Dysart. Where there is a four-out-of- four workload, he said the associ- ation finds that teacher stress lev- els go up. Such teachers may be relieved of homeroom duties, or the teacher committee may pro- vide some assistance by provid- ing a supply teacher once a month so the teacher can catch up on marking. Mr. Dysart said comparing teachers across the country solely on the basis of instructional time “is very difficult”. Issues of stu- dent diversity in the classroom, the number of students and, espe- cially, the number of courses for which a teacher must prepare, are key factors in a teachers’ work day, he pointed out. People for Education, an On- tario organization made up of parents of children in Ontario public and Catholic schools, ear- lier this year released an informal study looking at high school teachers’ workload across the country. After hearing teachers’ unions claim the province’s workload is excessive, and the government claim that the 1,250 minutes merely brings teachers up to na- tional average, the group sur- veyed school board associations, teachers’ federations and others to try and find the truth. The group concluded that both sides were right: the 1,250- minute workload is indeed not excessive in Canada, but class sizes are generally higher in On- tario. People for Education says in six provinces, the workload is six courses a year or less. Quebec’s five-course and 1,200-minute workload is the lowest in Canada, but teachers must be in school for an hour-and-a-half per day be- yond the time spent instructing students. The group also stated that in no other province does law dic- tate teacher workload, as is the case in Ontario. That law was recently amend- ed. In late June, the Province passed the Stability and Excel- lence in Education Act, which ef- fectively reduced the workload of high school teachers in Ontario from 6.5 to 6.25 of eight classes. Fittingly, the place where the higher workload was first applied to high school teachers, and where activities first disappeared, Durham Region, may be the first to see an end to the dispute. Two days before the Province passed the legislation reducing the workload of teachers, and in- creasing the flexibility in assign- ing it, the Durham District School Board and its high school teachers reached a collective agreement — the first in five years. There are only so many minutes Breaking down teaching time like comparing apples and oranges A.J.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, July 13, 2001 PAGE 13 A/P Visions of The Garden For every garden and landscape design the initial cre- ation begins with a vision, an inspiration that propels the gar- dener forward. Perhaps the vision is the creation of our own sanctuary or retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life; a place to restore and revive. Your retreat area can be achieved simply by surround- ing an area with your favourite plants and adding a cement bench or it can be as ambitious as adding a pond and waterfall amongst a larger garden area. Your garden can also be based on a theme. Theme gardens for a sanctuary include a butterfly garden, bird garden or fragrant garden. A butterfly garden is easi- ly attainable by planting a mix- ture of flowering shrubs, peren- nials and annuals. The centre- piece in the butterfly garden is the aptly named ‘Butterfly Bush’ which is available in deep purple tones (Dark Knight), pinks and whites. A garden area which attracts birds is also popular. Plant ‘Fruit Weeping Mulberry’ which is in fruiting now as well as plants such as ‘Manchu Cherry’, ‘Serviceberry’ and ‘Winterberry’. The Viburnum family contains many excellent choices such as Arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum), Nannyberry (Viburnum ientago), Wayfaring Tree (Viburnum Iantana) and Maries Doublefile (Viburnum pli- catum ftomentosuin). The berries are typically produced in abundance and in addition to attracting birds to the garden add an interesting visual effect to the plant. Fragrant gardens not only fill the air with delightful scents they can also stimulate the sens- es or calm the soul. Lavender, for example can be planted not only in a perennial garden but also used as an edging plant around a rose garden or as a small hedge in larger shrub bor- ders. The gardener can enjoy their fragrance throughout the growing season. For example, shrubs such as lilac and Viburnum will provide spring fragrances with summer scents provided by the butterfly brush leading into the delightful late summer scents of Itea (Sweetspire) and Clethra (Summersweet). Garden fountains (free- standing) or a tabletop fountain are a welcome addition and at times the finishing touch for your backyard retreat. The rhythm of falling waters is soothing after a long hectic day.

That’s the message a small farm community is trying to get across to two teenagers at the centre of the one of the worst child abuse cases on record with Durham Regional Police. In fact, those words ex- actly are inscribed on a giant card being made available to the public to sign this week. A trust fund, named the Black- stock Teen Fund, will be open for donations at any CIBC branch Friday. “We felt bad this was happening so close to home,” says 16-year-old Ashley Fallis, who decided to open the account and have the signing along with her mother, Terri-Dawn. Blackstock is still feel- ing the aftershocks of last week’s arrest of a 49-year- old man and his 40-year- old wife based on allega- tions the couple locked up their two male children in separate enclosed baby cribs for hours on end on a daily basis for years. The boys, now in their teens, were forced to wear dia- pers, remain in their cribs for hours, suffered physical punishment and did not re- ceive adequate food, ac- cording to police. The man and his wife are in police custody await- ing bail. The boys are under the supervision of the Children’s Aid Society. “I didn’t know them per- sonally but I recognize them,” says Ashley, of the boys. She and her friends, Abby McLaughlin and Brandy Jones, held their first public card signing Tuesday afternoon in front of Cartwright High School. Another session is sched- uled Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. The teens say they re- member the older boy as a face in the playground and in a younger grade than them. “He was very friendly,” says Brandy. “I don’t think anyone picked on him. He seemed energetic, hyper. The younger one was quiet.” Nor did they detect any signs of abuse. “Who would have thought this would happen around Blackstock?” Brandy adds. “It seems like a small com- munity. For it to happen so nearby is scary.” The trust fund and card signing is Blackstock’s way of reaching out to the boys, says Mrs. Fallis. “The town would feel better if it did something nice for them,” she ex- plains. “If we could send them to college or buy one of them their first car - would- n’t that be great?” News of the child abuse case has been “heartbreak- ing to everyone”, she says. “People want to know what they can do to help.” Her own daughter had “millions of questions “ about the boys and their welfare after the arrest, Mrs. Fallis says. This effort has given her daughter and her friends some peace of mind.

THE SCORE Starring Robert De Niro, Ed- ward Norton, Angela Bassett, Marlon Brando. Directed by Frank Oz. Career thief Nick Wells (De Niro) is about to mastermind a nearly impossible theft that will require his joining forces with a clever young accomplice (Nor- ton). The unlikely alliance, arranged by Nick’s longtime friend and fence, Max (Brando), interrupts Nick’s plan to retire from crime and settle down with his fiancée, Diane (Bassett). Even worse — it requires that Nick violate his most important rule: Always work alone. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10, Fa- mous Players Pickering 8 Cine- mas, Pickering Town Centre) JURASSIC PARK 3 (Opens Wednesday, July 18) Starring: Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni. Directed by Joe Johnston. Anxious to fund research for his new theory of velociraptor intelligence, renowned paleon- tologist Dr. Alan Grant (Neill) is persuaded by a wealthy adven- turer (Macy) and his wife (Leoni) to accompany them on an aerial tour of Isla Sorna. This infamous island, once InGen’s site B, has become both a primordial breeding ground for magnificent creations and a magnet for thrill-seekers eager to encounter them. When a trag- ic accident maroons the party of seven, Grant discovers the true reason his deceptive hosts have invited him along. In their perilous attempt to escape with their lives, the dwindling group encounters ter- rifying new creatures undis- closed by InGen, and Grant is forced to learn the dreadful im- plications of his raptor intelli- gence theory first-hand.

Directed by Robert Luketic. Elle Woods (Witherspoon) has it all. She’s the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natur- al blonde. She dates the cutest fraterni- ty boy (Davis) on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there’s just one thing stop- ping Warner from popping the question: Elle is too blonde. Growing up across the street from Aaron Spelling might mean something in Los Ange- les, but it’s nothing to Warner’s East Coast blue blood family. So, when Warner packs up for Harvard law and reunites with an old sweetheart from prep school, Elle rallies all her re- sources and gets into Harvard, determined to win him back. But law school is a far cry from the comforts of her pool- side and the mall. Elle must wage the battle of her life, for her guy, for herself and for all the blondes who suffer endless indignities everyday.

We do it over three days to make it manageable and of course someone has to run the store! I’m writing this article Tuesday after day two. I’m exhausted but Sherry and I wouldn’t miss these days for anything. We begin at the store at 9:30 am and car pool it. Our first stop on the way up is the Tim Horton’s drive thru at Brook across from the Canadian Tire. We buy everyone what ever they want to eat plus a traditional box of Tim Bits. We’ve never eaten very many of those Tim Bits. At every traffic light we come to there are “Tim Bit Wars” and all our cars are pelted with them. This stunt is performed by experienced and mature teenagers. Please don’t try this at home! Once we get to Burleigh Falls, we head to the Big Cedar store on Highway 28 at the end of our road. In this old country store all the staff get to buy their favorite munchies and pop for snacking during the day. Good food is important for growing teens. We’re now are ready for the cottage. Once we arrive everyone changes and heads to the dock. The highlight this year was our new water trampoline. Once assembled we towed it out and anchored it and let the fun begin. Water skiing, tubing, swimming, seadooing, sunning and doing summersaults off the trampoline complete the daily activities. Lunch and dinner on the deck is big time too. Sherry barbecues DQ Burgers and grilled chicken with all the fixins plus potato salad, macaroni salad and cole slaw. The most popular combination? Our toasted DQ bun and the combination of a grilled chicken breast and a barbecued hamburger patty topped with cheese, bacon, mayo, onions and double pickles. Yeeeeessss!!!! One bite through that baby, a mouthful of cole slaw and a swig of ice cold Pepsi and I’m a happy camper. My special dessert for the staff this year started with a large chocolate macadamia nut cookie topped with DQ soft serve, drizzled with brown cow and sprinkled with Skor. OOhhhhh momma! After dinner a sunset cruise of the lake. Why do we do it? First we want the staff to know how much we appreciate them. When you see how hard they work trying to keep our lines moving you’ll know what I mean. We appreciate them and want them to know it. Second staff harmony is improved ten fold when you spend a whole day with your managers and co-workers getting to know them and having fun. Friendships are made here. Third our new staff feel more comfortable as they become part of the team. Fourth we hope events like this will nurture a friendly atmosphere and motivate our staff to stay with us right through university. And of course staff moral is improved even more when we come back to the store at the end of the day and let them make whatever kind of dessert they want! Try the ultimate of coupons below.

Well, help is only a mouse click away, thanks to four Durham stu- dents. Joe Larkin, Keith Puddick, Matt Agar and David Scannell, of Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, are going a long way towards taking sheer luck out of the search equation by creating a Web page that’s chock full of information about where to land that big one in Durham Region. The electronic fishing map can be found at www.region.durham.on.ca under the tourism section. And, lest one figures this is a theo- retical exercise by a bunch of comput- er geeks who wouldn’t know a muskie from a moose, the group is quick dispel the notion. “A couple of us are avid fisher- men,” insisted Mr. Larkin who con- ceived the idea as the foursome’s final computer class project. “Over the years, I’ve probably fished most of the spots.” Mr. Agar, too, allowed he’s done a bit of angling although he admitted, “I’ve never caught anything to speak about.” What started out as a class project became more practical when the lads approached Durham Region’s eco- nomic development and tourism de- partment about putting the pages on the agency’s Web site. “We thought it would be tremen- dous if our work could benefit the public,” said Mr. Larkin. Starting out with a basic map of the Region, the students plotted the best fishing sites, supplementing that info with fish descriptions, dates of fishing derbies, locations of marinas, motels, camp and trailer parks, boat launching ramps, bait and tackle shops — and much more. There’s a section, too, for suppliers who wish to advertise their services. In total, 128 files were used, said Mr. Larkin. He and Mr. Scannell did the HTML pro- gramming, with Mr. Agar and Mr. Puddick handling the data inputting and Beta testing. “From start to finish it maybe took us about a month and a half. It was a real learning experience,” said Mr. Larkin. Says teacher Stephen Hudson whose ‘computers and problem-solv- ing’ class emphasizes the case study approach, “The aim was to identify a need and create a commercial or pub- lic service site. They’ve done an ex- emplary job.” For which local and outside an- glers will be grateful. After only a few days, the Web site was already receiv- ing positive feedback, said Durham’s tourism manager, Patti Watson. “It was a great idea from the start, exceeding our expectations,” she said. The boys are dispersing to univer- sity in the fall, but their handiwork will go on without them. Thinking ahead, they produced an instruction manual so Ms. Watson’s staff could easily update the information when- ever it’s required.

At dinner, prairies stretch- ing to the horizon with wheat swaying in the wind surround your table. You take afternoon tea amid the spectacular grandeur of the Canadian Rock- ies. Where are you? You’re on a breathtaking voyage across Canada’s landscapes, rolling through some of the most beau- tiful scenery in the world. Not only that, but you’re doing it in the luxury and comfort of lov- ingly refurbished Art Deco rail cars from the 1950s. Welcome aboard the silver and blue class on Via Rail’s western transconti- nental train, the ‘Canadian’. Silver and blue class is the sleeper class on the Canadian, running between Toronto and Vancouver. This spectacular three-day/night experience takes you through central Canada, the Prairies, Rockies and down to the Pacific. This is a different kind of first class. This one-of-a- kind experience is like a cruise ship on rails. It’s called ‘land cruising’ and it’s the hottest trend in Canadian travel. “The silver and blue class is designed for the more mature, well-travelled consumer who is looking for a different type of travel experience,” said Ali Macaraeg, manager, market de- velopment for Via. VIA is marketing its silver and blue class as a luxurious “land cruise experience”. From its ‘bon voyage’ champagne send-off, organized activities, to its elegant dining service, sea cruise lovers can feel at home on the Canadian. Cozy private rooms and semi-private compartments lead to the acclaimed park car, locat- ed at the rear of the train, re- served for the exclusive use of silver and blue class passengers, with its wraparound windows enclosing the intimate bullet lounge. Above is the 360-degree scenic dome, the upper observa- tion deck, where you can experi- ence the true magic of travelling Canada by train, with sweeping views of nature and wildlife everywhere you look. The skyline car, a car or two away from your sleeping quar- ters, is where you will find the new dedicated activity centres on the train. There you can enjoy games like backgammon, cards, chess, Pictionary, and special activities like bingo and karaoke. There are even videos avail- able for your entertainment every day. A library exchange and a boutique featuring train- related souvenirs highlight the countless new activities on the Canadian. Aperitifs and a choice of fine domestic wines and mi- crobrewery products are avail- able from the takeout bar. Dining in silver and blue class is a memorable experience in itself. “Guests find that the con- stantly changing panoramas on the outside create a special mood all their own, whether for breakfast, lunch or any of the three evening sittings,” said Ms. Macaraeg. Each meal features an entic- ing new menu — soups and sal- ads, fresh bread, cold plates and superb hot entrees, topped off by delicious desserts. Your fare in- cludes all your meals and most non-alcoholic beverages. At the end of the evening, or earlier if you wish, an on-board attendant will transform your room into a cosy bedroom. Lights are dimmed, reading lamps readied, pillows fluffed, and your down duvet carefully turned down. There is access to a shower facility on each sleeper car. Cost for the entire trip ranges from $472 to $1,592 for adults. Discounts are available in the off-peak season and also for seniors, students and chil- dren.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, July 6, 2001 PAGE 21 A/P A chance to believe in themselves Durham Family Court Clinic offers a second chance to youth “I’ve learned so many things about what life is supposed to be like.” – Durham Family Court Clinic client It can be quite powerful and over- whelming when you put faces to statis- tics. When you’re talking about those growing numbers of young people who are assisted each year by the Durham Family Court Clinic (DFCC) you can understand why. It’s easy to get caught up in the num- bers game. Much of the information people receive about young people who have had brushes with the law comes spoon-fed in the form of statistics or crime reports. It’s equally as easy to bury the problem out of society’s watch- ful eye, and the solutions don’t come easy. Although it would be nice if prob- lems disappeared as simply as a turn of the head, it’s necessary for us all to put faces to societal problems. Only then can we understand how to formulate so- lutions. The way the public saw war was changed dramatically when Vietnam was played in television sets around the globe. It’s a valuable lesson that we should all seek the truth before we make assumptions or form concrete opinions. And that’s exactly the message DFCC is putting forward in its 20th an- niversary ‘celebrating success’ cam- paign. During its recent general meet- ing, DFCC released a new poster it hopes will deliver that eye-opening, hard-hitting message. It depicts a multi- pierced, punk-haired teen with four sim- ple lines... what society sees... danger; what his eyes see... abuse; what DFCC sees... hope. It’s never too late. Many people will see this as a lot of Liberal hogwash; the public’s safety often takes a back seat to young offend- ers. Whatever your feelings, you can’t ignore there are many philosophies and even I sometimes find myself looking at the actions of troubled teens with more anger than compassion. Blame is easy, solutions come much harder. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t deal harshly with the criminal actions of youth, but there is so much potential that is overlooked. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, a man involved in his own fund-raising programs for youth, may sound clichéd when he says, “Kids are our future”, but he couldn’t be more correct. “The Region is only as good as the people who live here,” he told DFCC board members and supporters at the an- nual general meeting. Last year DFCC worked with 802 cases, a massive jump from 342 the pre- vious year. The workload increased dra- matically with the introduction of medi- ation and information services. It’s the product of executive director Sylvia Pivko and her staff’s hard work that validates the group’s existence. Again this year the DFCC rewarded two young people for the commitment they made to the program, to themselves and society. While their stories differ, they are, like many of the DFCC clients, very similar. Both teens were bound for destruction, each having lost faith in so- ciety and themselves. Yet at some point they started to regain that faith through their work with the counsellors. It didn’t come overnight, but somewhere along this road paved with anger and frustra- tion, they saw light at the end of the tun- nel. This year’s winner of the Carmen Tardio Bursary was a resident of Rother- glen, a group home, when she had her first contact with the DFCC. Initially she resisted the olive branch extended her, but eventually she admitted it was help she needed. Now she has a new focus on life and faces one of the biggest challenges of her life... the birth of her first child. “I’m working towards my education and am getting great marks,” she said. “Thank you for being so patient with me.” A young man who had become “afraid of himself and afraid of the fu- ture” earned this year’s Jennifer Barnett Tribute. Through counselling and camp the shyness and anger began to dissi- pate. He even raised money so his moth- er and brother could travel back to Poland to visit his ailing grandmother. “I can now see all the joy that life has to offer,” he said. “I can feel again.” What a feeling it must have been for these kids to have a group of adults, many prominent in their communities, giving them, yes them, a standing ova- tion. To receive admiration, not disdain, from adults must have been an over- whelming experience. In your heart, you felt that these kids have a real chance to make something of themselves, because in their hearts they, for once, believe in themselves.

Spots still available for environmental camp DURHAM —Time is running out for youngsters looking for some healthy outdoor fun at the Earth keepers envi- ronmental day camp at the Enniskillen Conservation Day Camp. The Central Lake Ontario Conserva- tion Authority is hosting the day camp for youth five to 16 years old. “Earth keepers camp gives the kids a chance to reconnect with nature and ex- plore its natural wonders in a safe envi- ronment,” said Cathy Grant, day camp director. Added to this year’s camp are an overnight campout and leadership day. The camp runs July and August and costs $110 per week with discounts for families with more than one child at- tending.

Rafael Alvarez — a black belt in karate and an instructor at a local martial arts academy — will be part of a 12-member Canadian contingent to take part in the first memorial tour- nament in honour of Miyazato Ei’ichi, starting July 20 in Okinawa. Ei’ichi is the founder of jundokan and successor of the founder of the godu ryu system of martial arts. Most countries are expected to send delegations to the event, says Alvarez. Following the tournament, mem- bers of the delegations will partici- pate in a series of martial arts teach- ing seminars in Osaka. A masters’ tournament will be held following the seminars. “It should be a highlight (for the members of the Canadian contin- gent),” says Alvarez. “It should also help me to grow to be a better techni- cal adviser.” Members of the Canadian team — with the majority coming from On- tario — will return home July 31.
