Durham schools make bottom 500 Survey calls on parents to push for better results BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —An Alberta- based educational research com- pany has released rankings of Ontario elementary schools, in- tending to press parents into ac- tion so students can improve. Based on the results of Educa- tion Quality and Accountability Office grades 3 and 6 reading tests for the 1999/2000 school year, no school wants to be on the SchoolWorks! lists. The company listed the bot- tom 250 Grade 3 schools and lowest-ranking 250 Grade 6 facil- ities according to their reading failure rate, or what percentage of students failed to meet the Province’s acceptable standard, (Level 3), on the tests. “Ultimately, our concern has always been that parents need to rally at the school level and not accept all the standard excuses,” said Denis Lapierre, project di- rector for SchoolWorks! A former high school princi- pal, he said those excuses include socio-economic factors often cited as reasons for students’ poor performance on standard- ized tests. Mr. Lapierre said while these may be factors, they are considered when tests are de- veloped and cannot be used as excuses. “We’re looking to parents to become more critical,” he said. Nine Durham District School Board schools and two Durham Catholic District School Board schools made the lists, compiled using Method 2 test results, which only took into account stu- dents who wrote the test. Eight of the schools are in Oshawa, two are in Ajax and the other is in Brock Township. On the Grade 3 list, the rank- ings noted 85 per cent of the stu- dents at both Glen Street in Os- hawa and H.W. Knight public Steam burns Pickering worker PICKERING –– A 35-year- old man suffered severe steam burns to most of his body in a workplace accident at a power generating plant Wednesday. Durham Regional Police said the accident occurred about 8:30 a.m. at Eastern Power, a hydro generating station that burns methane gas from the former Brock Road landfill site to run a steam turbine. The victim, a Napanee man, was reportedly working near a boiler at the Third Concession plant when it suddenly blew, leaving the man with third-de- gree steam burns to approximate- ly 70 per cent of his body, police said. The man was rushed by am- bulance to Ajax and Pickering Health Centre and transferred to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in critical condition. The Ministry of Labour is in- vestigating. Slow down on reform plans, City told No need to rush changes to committee structure: Residents BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —A move to change Pickering’s committee structure should be deferred for a year to allow more time for public consultation, City staff has been told. City councillors approved a dis- cussion paper in June to allow for input from the public on a propos- al to change Pickering’s current committee structure to a standing committee system that would move some meetings to the day- time. But, several members of the 10 PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Chan, Tucker team Pickering Powers up in Rush Hour 2 way to soccer crown ENTERTAINMENT/18 SPORTS/22 PRESSRUN 51,100 28 PAGES FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 2001 OPTIONAL 4 WEEK DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND Pastimes of Past Times Sunday, August 12th 11 am - 5 pm Pickering Museum Village 905-683-8401 or cityofpickering.com Two Great Places!

He also said council should continue holding evening meetings to ensure any interested members of the public can attend. “Every citizen should be given the opportunity to at- tend (meetings),” said local resident Jacqueline Smart. “By moving them to the day- time you’re most likely re- moving the possibility of 90 per cent of people attend- ing... you’re excluding us and it’s just wrong.” A draft bylaw on the pro- posal, which will go to coun- cil for consideration Aug. 7 for implementation in Sep- tember, calls for the creation of four committees that re- port to council. The planning committee would include all members of council and would meet on the second Monday of each month in the evening; the committee of the whole would also include all mem- bers of council and would meet the same evening as the planning committee; the fi- nance committee would in- clude three members of council and the mayor with meetings on the fourth Mon- day of the month at 10 a.m.; and the operations commit- tee, which would also in- clude three councillors and the mayor, would meet later that same day at 1 p.m. Regular council meetings would continue to be held on the first and third Monday of each month. City clerk Bruce Taylor told those at the meeting that the proposed system reflects the recent administrative re- structuring within the City, which saw roughly nine de- partments condensed into four. He also noted the new structure would allow for more “informal” discussions between councillors, staff and the public, while giving “councillors the opportunity to become more specialized in the areas of finance and operations”. Mr. Taylor also confirmed councillors will not receive any additional pay if the new structure is implemented. The original motion coun- cil passed in May had pro- vided for up to an extra $5,000 a year for council- lors’ participation in the ad- ditional committees. Howev- er, that aspect of the proposal has since been dropped. “We wanted to take away some of those elements that were not at the core of what we wanted to get at,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, noting the issue of additional pay for councillors became “distract- ing”. Coun. Holland, the dri- ving force behind the issue, said he believes September is the right time to introduce the new structure, which will be evaluated in one year, be- cause it allows for input over the summer months.

Durham police on Wednesday said family members confirmed the body is Philibert Verayo of Scarborough. The 35-year-old man was reported missing Sun- day afternoon. At around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, a woman boating on the east side of the bay discovered what appeared to be a body floating in the water. Durham Regional Po- lice spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said the woman contacted Trenton Air/Sea rescue, which in turn alerted the Toronto Police Service, which then called Durham police. “It took a little time to get everything organized, so it was around 9 p.m. before we recov- ered the body,” he said. Durham police, assisted by the Toronto police marine unit, recovered and transported the body to Lakeridge Health Os- hawa, where family members identified Mr. Verayo around 11:30 p.m. Sergeant Malik said the woman discovered the body just after the Toronto marine unit had finished a day of searching. Family members had monitored the search from Beachpoint Promenade, and he said some were present when the body was pulled from the water. An autopsy performed Wednesday confirmed drowning was the cause of death. Mr. Verayo was one of 16 members of a dragon boat racing team that took kayaks out on the bay Sunday, practising for an upcoming race. But when the group returned to shore and began packing up, they noticed Mr. Verayo was not among them. Kayakers searched the bay for about an hour before notifying police around 2 p.m. Durham police had been searching the bay since Sunday, assisted by Toronto and York Region police and the City of Oshawa Marine Rescue Associa- tion.

Durham Works in Durham Region Ministers salute surpassing of placement targets BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM —Community and So- cial Services Minister John Baird came to Durham Thursday bearing congratu- lations and a hefty cheque for a job well done. Mr. Baird and Education Minister Janet Ecker, Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP and former community and social services minister, were acknowledging the success of Ontario Works Durham. The program, run by Durham Re- gion, places employable welfare recipi- ents in volunteer positions, in hopes they can go on to find jobs, using the skills and confidence they acquire. “Today in Durham we want to cele- brate the success, not just for meeting the targets but surpassing them,” Mr. Baird said. “The goal was 1,272 place- ments. Durham not only met that target but in fact they went way over — 1,524. That’s a 120-per cent success rate.” He congratulated Ontario Works Durham staff, regional administration and politicians. “You really have made a huge difference in people’s lives in Durham Region.”Then he handed over a certificate of appreciation to Councillor Larry O’Connor, chairman of the Re- gion’s health and social services com- mittee. Mr. Baird also announced Durham is getting $562,000 extra to use on services for people, part of the finan- cial incentive in Ontario Works. “It’s the front-line workers who have been essential in making sure the targets are met,” said Coun. O’Connor. He later said Regional staff will con- sider what to do with the money and make recommendations to council. “They’ve done a fantastic job,” Ms. Ecker said. “As the minister when the Ontario Works program was created, I was really pleased to be here... to say congratulations.

The Grade 6 list included Vil- lage Union, Har- mony Road, Rit- son, Queen Eliz- abeth and Cedardale pub- lic schools, Monsignor Phillip Coffey Catholic school and, in Ajax, Lincoln Alexan- der and Westney Heights public schools. “We believe that all children should be able to achieve a rea- sonable profi- ciency of learn- ing,” said Mr. Lapierre. South Os- hawa parent Sharon Higgins agreed a greater emphasis should be placed on reading in schools. She runs a drop-in centre for kids in Oshawa, many of whom attend Cedard- ale, and had a look at the infor- mation con- tained in the SchoolWorks! rankings. “Even here, I make them read in summertime,” she said. “Teachers don’t have the pa- tience or the extra help to push reading. Let’s face it, if you can’t read you’re not going to amount to anything.” Ms. Higgins believes parents and teachers need to organize reading pro- grams at schools, and that great care should be taken to find reading material that ap- peals to kids, and that will generate interest in reading and away from com- puter games, television and other distrac- tions. “I think we have to go through the books, find out things that are interesting to children, ask the child,” she said. “Stories have to be more interest- ing and there has to be more time.” But Ms. Higgins said parents who try to intervene in their child’s education are often seen as troublemakers and don’t get anywhere. Mr. Lapierre said the provin- cial government, which sets the reading standards on tests, is ulti- mately responsible to see that every child measures up. Parents should “turn the tables” on the government, always preaching accountability, and press for them to be accountable, he said. The list of schools can found at www.schoolrate.net/.

Those of us in the environmental move- ment become very discouraged when we hear someone referring to compost material as garbage or trash. Composting is not part of the garbage problem — it is part of the garbage solution. It’s what soil is made of, what plants grow in. North American cities for too long have lumped the two together, both figuratively and literally. Let’s follow the European model and nature’s own model and return to the Earth that which is part of the Earth. I, for one, welcome a compost facility in Pick- ering. As a parent and sometime educator, I have to overcome a psychological barrier with well-brought up urban children who are reluctant to throw an apple core into the bushes. We must teach our children — and our councillors — that when an apple falls from a tree it does not become garbage. And when plastic forks and chip bags are col- lected and put in garbage pails in well-in- tentioned ‘environmental’ efforts, they are still garbage.

While the Fraser Institute report relied heavily on core courses, academic achievement and preparation for university, clearly fac- tors which could not be measured fairly across the entire school sys- tem, Schoolworks! takes a much different approach. In fact, anybody with access to Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) grades 3 and 6 reading test results for 1999-2000 could have compiled the Schoolworks! list. Such in- formation is easily accessible to the public. The EQAO releases the spring test results in the fall to each school board across Ontario and the results are published regularly in news media. Schoolworks! only chose to target the worst 250 Grade 3 and lowest 250 Grade 6 schools on just one area of the tests. Even more defined, the list includes only students who actually wrote the test (known as Method 2) and indicates the percentage of students who failed to meet the Province’s acceptable standard (Level 3). Given that all the information on the Schoolworks! lists was al- ready printed in our pages last fall, it comes as absolutely no sur- prise 85 per cent of Glen Street (Oshawa) and H.W. Knight (Brock) Grade 3 public school students failed to meet Level 3 for reading. At Holy Cross Separate School in Oshawa 78 per cent of Grade 3s didn’t hit Level 3. The numbers were worse for Grade 6. Oshawa’s Village Union, Harmony Road, Ritson, Queen Elizabeth and Cedardale public schools and Monsignor Phillip Coffey Catholic School in Oshawa, and Ajax’s Lincoln Alexander and Westney Heights public schools all had an extremely high number of stu- dents who tested at substandard reading levels. The intent of the ratings, said project director Denis Lapierre, is to have parents “rally at the school level and not accept all the stan- dard excuses.” That may be true, but parents already know how their child and school did on the tests, so Schoolworks! is merely spouting old news. Indeed, Minister of Education Janet Ecker has pledged to work with schools that show consistently low marks, so the prob- lem is not being ignored. If Schoolworks! acts as a reminder or wake-up call to some parents, it’s useful. But for those who can rec- tify the problem, the list makes for old reading. Rankings a wake-up call and old news Listing worst scores for reading tests only reconfirms what many already know Prime Minister Jean Chrétien makes me ill, as does every squishy Liberal MP who votes for his wishes. Campaign promises, compassion, or conscience should have compelled the governing Liberals to scrap the GST, renegotiate free trade, reform the Young Offenders Act, ensure a thorough and open Somalia inquiry, kill the 1.5 cent/litre deficit-fighting gas tax once the deficit was eliminat- ed, and introduce an ethics counsel- lor reporting to Parliament rather than to Jean Chrétien alone. The federal Liberals shouldn’t have frittered away our tax dollars by paying half-a-billion dollars to kill a deal to replace our old 1950s Sea King helicopters, only to spend mil- lions more to maintain old ’copters and not find any better deal on re- placements. They shouldn’t have squandered a billion dollars on ques- tionable Human Resources grants or untold millions on a gun registry that criminals won’t use. They surely can’t defend their recent sucker- punch pay hike that will not only swell paycheques (over 40 per cent for Mr. Chrétien), but will help deter- mine those lifelong gold-plated pen- sions. This government’s massive health care and education transfer payment cuts in 1995 didn’t reduce spending a dime, only transferred it to our provincial taxes. Its changes to un- employment insurance looted the plan’s multibillion-dollar surplus, tightened eligibility and introduced a clawback that effectively turns part of your benefit into a loan. Its changes to the Canada Pension Plan created the biggest cash grab in Canadian history for a plan that still seems likely to collapse. The Chrétien government has shown contempt for our freedom and security by meeting aggressive pro- testers with pepper spray and tear gas, while ignoring peaceful protest. They’ve also shown it by trying to register every grandpa’s old hunting rifle in the city, and every long-bar- relled home security system in rural areas coast to coast, while being un- able to keep handguns out of our high schools. The country’s informa- tion commissioner, John Reid has even reported of a “palpable animos- ity toward the right of access”. Our prime minister has had ques- tionable business dealings in Shaw- inigan, imaginary homeless pals, has throttled a private citizen on camera, joked about pepper-spraying student protesters, has had petty legal dis- putes with a prominent publisher and a former prime minister, and almost gave the country away to the sepa- ratists. Yet he seems to believe he de- serves his fat-cat raise, his obscene pension and Canada’s thanks. I think he deserves a trial. “I was in federal politics for 21 years and I never met such a hyp- ocrite in all my life as the current prime minister” — Ed Broadbent, former NDP leader.

In this story, we look at the po- tential impact of new legislation that will create a corporation responsible for devel- oping new waste diversion programs in On- tario. BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Municipal leaders and in- dustry representatives are applauding a move by the provincial government that could help to push Ontario closer to its waste diversion goals. Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer introduced the proposed Waste Diversion Act 2001 on June 26 that will create an orga- nization responsible for developing and funding new waste diversion programs. Known as Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO), the permanent organization will build on the work of a one-year volunteer waste diversion organization established by the Province in 1999. The WDO, a not-for-profit organization that will be run by a board of industry and municipal representatives, is being given the task of setting up an industry funding organi- zation that will establish and collect fees from industries to pay for 50 per cent of the net operating costs of municipal blue box re- cycling programs. The WDO will also be responsible for de- veloping, implementing and funding waste diversion initiatives for used oil, organics, household special wastes, scrap tires and other materials in the future. “This legislation is good news for the en- vironment and for Ontario communities,” the minister said in a statement to the legislature June 26 when she introduced the proposed act. “It firmly establishes a long-term part- nership between industry and municipalities and lays out the framework for a recycling system that will serve this province for years to come.” Ms. Witmer added, “Not only will this confirm our government’s commitment to sustain and foster Ontario’s successful blue box program, it will greatly enhance our ef- forts to achieve and surpass our goal of re- ducing all waste in the province by 50 per cent.” According to the ministry, the legislation will ease the financial burden for municipal- ities, while creating a level playing field for industries. Here in Durham, waste manager Peter Watson predicted the WDO could save the Region hundreds of thousands of dollars a year once it’s up and running. “The WDO would pay half the net costs of blue box recycling, which is as much as $700,000 to the Region depending on what is included in the funding formula,” he said, noting in past years the Region has received about $140,000 from the Liquor Control Board of Ontario for recycling glass. He expects that program will continue until the new funding formula takes effect, which he estimates will happen in about a year’s time. Mr. Watson said the Region currently spends about $5 million a year to collect and process blue box materials. Durham receives about $3.5 million in revenue through the sale of goods, which leaves a net cost of about $1.5 million, half of which would be covered by industry in the future. “It’s a good step forward,” he said. The WDO will also work towards setting up a similar program to help fund the cost of composting organic materials such as kitchen scraps and leaf and yard waste. How- ever, Mr. Watson said he wanted to defer any comments on that aspect of the legislation until more details become available. Ann Mulvale, Oakville mayor and presi- dent of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), believes the WDO will cre- ate a beneficial partnership between munici- palities and industry in an effort to increase the amount of waste diverted from landfill. AMO was actively involved in the origi- nal volunteer waste diversion organization and will continue to work with the new cor- poration. In fact, the proposed legislation calls for four AMO representatives to sit on the new board. “We’re pleased to be involved,” Mayor Mulvale said. “It’s a positive step forward from where we have been in recent years.” The mayor believes the partnership will give “both sides of the funding stream a real motivation in terms of what can be recycled. Both partners have a vested interest in secur- ing markets, making them long-term and re- ducing what goes to landfill.” She noted because industry will be faced with paying half of the costs of recycling their products, they’ll be more likely to pro- duce items with less packaging and which are cheaper to recycle. “They’ll have a vested interest in lower- ing that bill,” she said. “It’s a partnership which encourages creativity.” Mayor Mulvale also supports the pursuit of other programs to help cover the costs of composting, which she says is essential if municipalities are going to reduce the amount sent to landfill. “We need to get on with the program,” she said, adding “there are a number of munici- palities that don’t have any landfill capacity.” The creation of the WDO also has the backing of the many companies that are members of Corporations Supporting Recy- cling (CSR), an organization that played a key role in the formation of the recommen- dations made by the original waste diversion organization. “This legislation signals the beginning of a new era in the development of cost-effec- tive, sustainable municipal waste diversion programs in Ontario,” CSR president Dami- an Bassett said following the minister’s an- nouncement in June. “CSR, whose members include many of the largest manufacturers and distributors of consumer products in Canada, looks forward to working with the Environment Ministry, Ontario municipali- ties and other industry sectors to make WDO a success.” In a recent interview, Mr. Bassett said al- though CSR’s 125 members have voluntarily supported the development of municipal re- cycling programs over the past 15 years in Ontario, the new legislation would ensure all companies whose products can be recycled pay their fair share of blue box costs. “The important thing from industry’s per- spective is that this creates a level playing field,” Mr. Bassett said. “No one can take a competitive advantage by not practising stewardship.” He reported the net cost of recycling pro- grams across Ontario is roughly $50 million, which means industry will be picking up a $25-million price tag to support the program. “Any industry that utilizes packaging will be obligated to participate,” he said, noting several industries, including cosmetics, toy and electronics, have not been contributing towards the costs of recycling their products. Barbara McConnell, CSR’s vice-presi- dent of communications, noted another ad- vantage to the legislation is the fact munici- palities will no longer be subject to the “ebbs and flow of recycling commodity markets. “If the price for paper fibre packaging de- creases, it won’t affect municipalities,” she said, explaining that whatever the net costs are after municipalities have collected their revenues, they will be shared with industry. Ms. McConnell added, “The other thing that’s critical in this formula is it puts in place the shared-responsibility model. It means all of the parties involved in produc- ing products, retailing them and buying them have a role to play and share somewhat in the cost of proper disposal. “It encourages manufacturers to, as much as possible, use materials that are recy- clable,” she said, noting retailers will have to look at better ways to ensure consumers are being encouraged to recycle and it will be up to consumers “to look for products that im- pact the environment to the least extent pos- sible and to put them in the blue box.” Harry Cole prepares to empty a blue box filled with recyclables on his route in north Whitby. A new provincial organization created by the Ontario government will now be responsible for developing and funding waste diversion programs, and is to be made up of government, business and municipal representatives. Tonnes of recycling going on Ontarians are increasing the amount of materials they reduce, reuse and recycle, ac- cording to a report on municipal ‘3Rs’ in Ontario. The following table shows that since 1996 there has been a steady increase, in terms of tonnage, in the total amount of recyclable materials being recovered across the province.

This year and in the future, the popular event will be held in September instead of June. And that’s one of only many changes from years past. The name is now the Pickering Vil- lage Heritage Fall Festival, re- flecting a desire to make the vil- lage’s history “front and centre” in the event, said festival chair- man Ruth Reinhardt. “The heritage of the village is important to me and to a lot of new people moving in,” the co- owner of The Copper Kettle Candy Company said in an inter- view. The change from the be- ginning of summer to the start of fall was made because Home Week is also held in June, she ex- plained. While festival hallmarks like the pancake breakfast, parade and craft vendors will be main- tained, the new-look festival is to feature a greater variety of things to do for all ages, more in line with a traditional fall fair. Memorial Park will play host to an exhibit of village pictures from years past. Kids can enjoy contests, games and a display of old toys from the Pickering Mu- seum Village. And the traditional heritage building walking tour will be replaced by a horse and wagon tour of the buildings. Other new features include a judged horticultural show and a baking contest. And Ms. Rein- hardt said organizers “would love to have some fresh produce” from area farmers side-by-side with craft vendors. The Pickering Village Busi- ness Improvement Area is also inviting the broader community to play a role in running the event. “We want the whole com- munity involved,” said Ms. Rein- hardt. “Right now it’s just the business people.” The Pickering Village Her- itage Fall Festival takes place at Church Street and Old Kingston Road in Ajax on Saturday, Sept. 22. To volunteer, enter a float in the parade, or to register as a vendor, call Ms. Reinhardt at 905-683-8215. If you want to attend a festi- val-organizing meeting to see what’s involved, call Ms. Rein- hardt for more information.

Charmaine what advice do you have for me to solve this problem? Solution:We have touched on this subject before, but it is worth repeating. Your rooms may be under lit because of one or a combination of the following reasons: • The type of lighting fixture may not be correct for your lighting require- ments. For instance many standing lamps are Torchier style with the light focuses upward at the ceiling; they are great for flooding an area with diffused light but still need the back up of lamps. So determine where you need light and purchase a fixture that meets your needs. • The placement of your lighting is also extremely important. Table lamps, light source (where the light is cast) should be directed towards the areas that needs to be lit when you’re seated. For floor lamps the light source should be above your left or right shoulder to pro- vide maximum illumination when read- ing. Carefully think about the activities you’ll do in the room and place the lighting accordingly. • The amount of lighting within the area: as a general rule of thumb, you should have one lamp for each corner of an averaged sized living room plus one more. Finally, remember to select your lamp not only for its function but also for its decorative effect. Lamp bases come in a variety of styles, there is a perfect one for your decorative needs.

One per customer per visit. Expires Aug 30, 2001 TM I want to tell you about one of our most popular blizzards. The CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BLIZZARD and I want to tell you something that will illustrate clearly why we are so different in the way we do things. I thought when I first saw the name Cookie Dough that it was raw cookie dough in a blizzard and I wasn’t interested until I realized exactly what it was and why it sold so many. The name obviously conjures up images of a chocolate chip cookie in a blizzard. First we spiral our famous DQ soft serve into the cup. We fill it right to the top. Here is the first big difference. We don’t put a translucent dome lid on top of every blizzard to make it look bigger and we don’t want to hid the product from you. One of the biggest selling points of our blizzards is what it looks like when we hand it to you! WE DON”T HID IT WITH A LID. The second big selling point is that we turn it upside down so that you are assured of a product full of soft serve. If there is not enough soft serve it will be runny and thin and we won’t be able to turn it over. Even more important is that the last part of your blizzard tastes the same as the first! We don’t mix your product with a big plastic hollow spoon that we leave in it. Our patented blizzard head mixes it top to bottom so that your ingredients are mixed evenly throughout the product. WE TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT. What is the difference between DQ soft serve and ice cream? Ice cream has 11-20% butter fat while DQ soft serve is 95% fat free with only 5% butterfat! Yes I love ice cream too but it is comforting to know that such a great tasting product as DQ soft serve is SO LOW IN FAT. Not only that but the exclusive rights to the DQ recipe is held by Natrel Canada, the pure filtered milk company. This patented recipe for DQ soft serve has been developed over 50 years. 50 YEARS! Do you think DQ knows soft serve? That rich creamy taste is unique. You can’t get it anywhere else and there is absolutely no after taste. Next we add a large portion of cookie dough pieces. Then we ladle in our warm chocolate cone dip at 120 degrees. This is the same product we dip your cone in and it hardens right away. The warm cone dip mixing with the cookie dough gives you the taste of real chocolate chip cookie pieces! Yes! Top this blizzard or any blizzard free with whipped cream by using the coupon below. Alberta’s two major centres, Edmonton and Calgary, are big cities without big city problems. These energetic western Canadian cities boast a young and vibrant population and a host of world-class attractions and activities in beautiful, clean and safe settings. It gets better. How about adding affordable into the mix? A long-standing but light-hearted rivalry has existed for years between Calgarians and Edmontonians — each claiming bragging rights to the biggest, tallest, fastest, best, newest, oldest... Visitors can jump in to the fray and make their own comparisons. Let’s talk greatest and biggest: Calgary is known worldwide for hosting the greatest outdoor show on earth, the Cal- gary Stampede. Held each July, Stampede spirit takes over the city for 10 days from the parade opening to the chuck wagon finals. Although grown-up cowboys and cowgirls enjoy the party too, scores of activities and events will keep little cowpokes entertained and happy. Not to be outdone, Edmonton embraces its past as a jumpoff point for aspiring prospec- tors, touching on the 1897 gold rush with its annual Klondike Days exhibition in late July. Klondike Days regalia is everywhere and ac- tivities include bathtub races, gold panning, rides and games. You can’t talk biggest without talking West Edmonton Mall — the granddaddy of all shopping malls in the world. “You want to talk big? West Edmonton Mall is Alberta’s number 1 tourist attraction,” said its marketing manager, Travis Reynolds. “People come because it is a unique experi- ence. They come to shop and play and stay overnight. It’s the ultimate family holiday.” West Edmonton Mall’s big facts speak for themselves: • It is in the Guinness Book of Records for both the largest shopping centre and largest parking lot; • It is equivalent to 115 football fields; • More than 22 million people visit each year; • Its Galaxyland Amusement Park is the world’s largest indoor amusement park; • Its Fantasyland Hotel, inside the mall, features fun theme rooms. Calgary takes kids outside for their thrills. Calaway Park, Western Canada’s largest out- door amusement park, is a great way to spend a cotton candy summer afternoon. Indoors, kids can enjoy one last ride before their plane takes off from the Calgary International Air- port, which now features SpacePort. Just opened, SpacePort includes: • A quarter-scale space shuttle; • An air traffic control tower; • A full-size bush plane; • Five flight and motion simulators; • A chance to fly model planes; and • A play area for younger children. Back outdoors in Edmonton, visitors can take in activities at the John Janzen Nature Centre, which is a focus for programs, events, exhibits and information to help awareness and understanding of nature in an urban set- ting. The centre features an active working beehive, a living pond community, nature trails and a gift shop. The striking glass pyramids of Edmon- ton’s Muttart Conservatory is an indoor re- treat for cool rainy days. It’s always summer- warm and the display gardens even include a desert. A last salvo in the battle of the bigs, Cal- gary’s Museum of the Regiments is the largest military museum in Western Canada. Its lifelike exhibits enthrall visitors of every age. Fastest: Calgary puts an end to the tortoise and hare myth once and for all. The prize for the fastest vacation excitement goes to two of this city’s attractions. Race City speedway offers fast-paced, high-octane excitement for the whole family every weekend throughout the summer. Canada Olympic Park houses many of the facilities used for the 1988 Olympics and is the place to head to ride a bobsled on the ac- tual Olympic track. In summer, speed demons can try the Road Rocket, which is a bobsled on wheels. Those more comfortable with virtual speed can try the simulated bob- sled and luge rides in the Olympic Hall of Fame, a three-floor museum paying tribute to the Olympics and its athletes. Oldest: Fort Edmonton Park takes visitors back to the fur trade and early pioneer days of Ed- monton’s past. There are activities for all ages, from an- tique vehicle rides, to pioneer children’s games and even a 1920s-style miniature golf course. All-you-can-ride steam train and streetcar rides are included in the admission price. If you want to talk old, Calgary’s Glenbow Museum and Art Gallery specializes in the history and pre-history of Western Canada. A popular feature of the museum is its out- standing military and arms display, including armour from the Middle Ages. To see history come to life, visitors can spend an entire day or afternoon at Heritage Park Historical Village in Calgary. The vil- lage overlooks the picturesque Glenmore Reservoir and portrays life in a typical town in the Canadian west prior to 1914. A re- stored train circles the park and a lake pad- dlewheel steamer sails on the reservoir. There is an amusement park with genuine rides from the early 20th Century, including a re- stored ferris wheel and caterpillar. A final ‘oldest old’contender is offered up by Edmonton. The Bruderheim meteorite — 4.6 billion years old — is housed in the Ed- monton Space and Science Centre.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 3, 2001 PAGE 21 A/P Women’s group seeks board members Recycle! Have a ball and help save a life this summer BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM —People can have fun this coming long weekend and still give blood. That’s the message the Canadian Blood Service (CBS) is trying to send during a sum- mer of increased blood de- mand. With the August long week- end approaching, CBS is en- couraging people to make a blood donation before or after their midsummer celebration. Its slogan is ‘have a ball this weekend and help save a life.’ “Historically, blood dona- tions decrease around holidays and long weekends because many regular donors are away on vacation or busy enjoying summer activities,” said Bruce Goss, CBS centre director in Toronto. “At the same time, summer brings with it increased travel on roadways and water- ways, which often results in a rise in trauma cases.” The campaign began May 15 and runs until Sept. 3, with a goal of collecting 40,000 units of blood. As of July 27, CNS had collected 33,941 units. “We recognize people are going to be going to the cottage, they’re going to be travelling, but at this time of the year be- cause of the increased demand, it’s very important to make a donation before they go on hol- idays,” said Doug Brenner, communications manager for the Toronto office, which also represents Durham Region. The increased chances of se- rious trauma cases means the need for major blood work also rises. “The highest demand is for ‘O’ positive blood,” said Mr. Brenner. “It’s the universal blood type (can be given to anyone who needs blood).” He added all blood types are great- ly accepted. One donation of blood can save up to four lives and most healthy, eligible people can give blood every 56 days. CBS is a non-profit organi- zation and handles all of Cana- da’s blood-supply, with the ex- ception of Quebec.

Among those who have already qual- ified for the Games, which run Aug. 11 to 25, are five volleyball players — Julia Hall of Whitby and Kristy Klawitter of Bowmanville on the women’s team, and Brendan Peel of Whitby and Jason Ster- giadis and Tim Verbroom of Pickering on the men’s side. Three rugby players — Dean Van Camp and Mike Blakey of Port Perry and Kevin Feheley of Whitby — have been named to the team. Pieter Meuleman of Whitby and Mark Stewart of Oshawa were named to the men’s soccer squad and Danielle Tanner of Whitby will play for the women’s team. Catherine Vipond of Oshawa will compete in cycling, while Pickering’s Kurtis Miller, at 15 the youngest partic- ipant at the 2000 Olympic Swimming Trials, will be in the pool. Durham flavour for Canada Games roster Pickering Powers to under-13 crown Fabrizo Savarino scores the winner in Kingston soccer tourney final PICKERING —By fir- ing away offensively and throwing up a wall defensive- ly, the Pickering Power boys’ under-13 soccer team earned a tournament championship crown recently. The squad dominated the 2001 Ambassador Cup Invi- tational Soccer Tournament in Kingston from July 27 to 29, winning all five games without surrendering a goal. In the final against Peter- borough, Pickering prevailed 1-0. The lone marker came when Fabrizo Savarino con- verted a corner kick by Michael Sarangi. Facing Gloucester in the semifinals, the Power boys triumphed 1-0, with the marker coming on a total team effort. The play started off with a kick by goalie William Mitchell, followed with touches by Erik Zenaitis to David James to Josip Bosnajk, and finally, Luke Stedmond for the goal. Dur- ing the play, no Gloucester player laid a foot on the ball. In round-robin play, Pick- ering started with a 6-0 past- ing of the Salvadoreno Jaguars from Ottawa. Tick- ling the twine for the Power were Mavrick Purchase, Stedmond, Thomas Dal- gliesh, Sarangi, Savarino and Jesse Assing. The Nepean Blackwell squad provided little opposi- tion, as Pickering cruised to a 4-0 win. Stedmond, Savari- no, Dalgliesh and Bosnajk found the back of the net. Kingston was next and Pickering ran off with a 2-0 victory. Savarino, on a penal- ty kick, and Stevie Boyle did the scoring damage. Other team members at the tournament were goalie William Mitchell, defensive players Jesse Trajkovski, William Rodriques, Jayden Geense, and Devon Munch, and midfielder Mathew Groves. Missing was Danny Carroll. Junior Groves coaches the team and Frank Mitchell is the assistant. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo He has them licked PICKERING – Shawn Donnelly sticks out his tongue to get a little extra on this pitch against Newmarket. Shawn and his Pickering select peewee teammates lost this game at Kinsmen Park. Hopkins on fire in soccer action AJAX — Bouncing back from an earlier loss to the league leaders, the Ajax United Eclipse under-12 girls blasted the Whit- by Iroquois Rock- ets 3-0 in recent soccer action. After a score- less first half, Caitlin Hopkins provided all the offence the Eclipse would need, scoring on a pass from Beth Shallhorn. Ten minutes later, Jen- nifer Wakefield went in alone and converted for a 2- 0 lead, before Hopkins scored her second of the game, again on a feed from Shall- horn. Jessica Dol- han recorded the shutout.
