Last month, Pickering chief administrative officer Tom Quinn said the local electricity company would no longer fund projects involving the burying of wires along Kingston Road. Coun. Brenner said the move is evidence the company, created by the municipality (as part of an amalgamation of public util- ities in Pickering, Ajax and Clarington), has forgotten about its commitments to the City. “This whole issue is about Ve ridian being a part of our community,” he said. “There’s been a change in the level of service... Veridian is turning its back on us.” Coun. Brenner said, as shareholders in Veridian, whether the money comes from ratepayers, the City’s tax levy, or from Veridian profits, Pickering taxpayers would be footing the bill for the future beautification of Kingston Road. So, if more wires are to be buried in the area, he wants Ve ridian to cover the cost. The City paid $110,000 as a part of an original cost-sharing plan for wires buried from Val- ley Farm Road to Liverpool Road, according to Mr. Quinn, although he said Veridian made a much higher contribution. Ve ridian president and chief executive officer John Weirsma said his company finished the On rockets and ‘robust’reactors DURHAM —The possibili- ty of heightened security at nu- clear stations to include rocket launchers is up to the federal regulator, says Ontario Power Generation (OPG). “It’s an action (the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) would take if they decide it’s a prudent course,” said OPG spokesman Ted Gruetzner. The possibility of rocket launchers have been broached in light of reports nuclear plants around North America could be targets of future terrorist attacks. They would be used to bring down a passenger jet on a crash course with a nuclear station. However, Mr. Gruetzner noted the Pickering and Dar- lington nuclear stations were built to withstand a strike by a jet. “They’re built robustly with reinforced concrete. Our feeling is it’s a robust design,” Mr. Gruetzner said. “We know it’s on people’s minds. They’re built to withstand impacts and earth- quakes.” However, in a published re- port on the weekend, an Ameri- can consultant contended the design of the Candu nuclear re- actors, which are in use at the two Durham plants, makes them vulnerable to a terrorist attack. Gordon Thompson, head of the Institute for Resource and Security Studies, said the Candu reactors were “susceptible” be- cause the multiple reactors rely on a common system for emer- gency core cooling and vacuum containment. Most of the reac- tors in the world have individual safety systems for each unit. Mr. Gruetzner noted safety at the stations is based on normal operations, but said, “The risk assessment is to the nth degree.” Durham Regional Police spokesman Paul Malik con- firmed this week the department still has officers involved in se- curity at the two stations. — WITH FILES FROM TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE Reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station pro- vide the backdrop for users of the Millennium Park board- walk. Pickering schools get some relief Ajax wins in school board’s new accommodation plan BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Ajax and Whitby have emerged as big winners in the public school board’s proposed new build- ing plan, though the news is not all good for the towns. The Durham District School Board released the first draft of its second, sys- tem-wide accommodation and school improvement plan Monday night. It outlines new schools, school additions, conversions and the planned closure of eight elementary facilities in Durham. “We’ve listened to the con- cerns and tried to address them,” said Jack Massie, the board’s facilities superinten- dent. The $89-million plan calls for a new 1,200-student high school to open in Whitby near Rossland Road and Cochrane Street in 2003, two new ele- mentary schools in Ajax for a total of 970 new pupil places, and additions to Lakeside (10 rooms), Alexander Graham Bell (eight) and Cadarackque (10) elementary schools in Ajax, and John Dryden (10) and Col. J.E. Farewell (eight rooms) in Whitby. The new schools in Ajax are slated for Hirons Drive, east of Picker- ing Beach Road, and the De- laney Drive and Church Street area. The plan also recommends a second and final reprieve for Exeter High School in Ajax. It would remain open and be converted into an elementary school for Lord Durham and Parkside public school stu- dents, as those schools are slated to close. Also on the closure list are Valley View in Pickering and Whitby’s R.A. Hutchison. Oshawa is virtually unaf- fected by the plan, with the exception of a new 500-stu- dent elementary school slated to open in two years in the Or- mond Drive and Ritson Road AJAX —Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering officials announced Friday that Dr. Errol Wai-Ping has given up his privileges at the local hos- pital. The Whitby doctor came under scrutiny earlier this year when numerous women came forward alleging they received substandard treat- ment while under his care. The hospital issued a release Friday, saying Dr. Wai-Ping “agreed to give up his prac- tice”. In May, a $25-million class-action lawsuit was launched against Rouge Val- ley Health System, which has sites in Ajax and Scarbor- ough, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario by former patient Denise Oostrom of Ajax. The statement of claim named Dr. Wai-Ping and other doctors and nurses who it says knew or should have known of the 47-year-old doctor’s alleged reputation for practising substandard medicine. It is alleged the defendants failed to adequately protect patients from a doctor with a long record of complaints.

Mr. Massie said under the Province’s education funding formu- la, closing the elementary schools would result in an additional $1.57 million in grants per year. The plan outlines projects over the next three years, though the Province now prefers five-year building fore- casts from boards. “This plan specifies that staff will bring a report back in 2003 to priori- tize projects with the budget in mind for the final two years,” he told trustees. Asked about one notable omission in the plan, an addition at Pickering High School (PHS) in Ajax, he sug- gested it might appear on the next building list. “Most of our secondary schools, we’re going to address them certain- ly later,” said Mr. Massie. He noted PHS is on a five-period day, has 21 portables and will receive some relief when J. Clarke Richard- son Collegiate opens in Ajax next fall. Mr. Massie acknowledged that both PHS and Pickering’s Dunbarton High School are “definitely over- crowded”. The plan calls for some relief for Dunbarton in the conversion of the neighbouring and closed Woodlands Centennial Public School into an annex of the high school. Meanwhile Valley Farm Public School in Pickering is to receive a 10-room, $3.8-million addition to begin next year. Five of the 10 elementary projects are in Ajax, at a total cost of almost $26 million. “That’s where the current growth is and we’re experiencing pressures there,” said Mr. Massie. Whitby Trustee and board chair- man Elizabeth Roy said she was in one sense “very happy” with the plan but “very upset” about planned clo- sures, especially at R.A. Hutchison. The accommodation plan also calls for a $12-million addition to Uxbridge Secondary School. Final approval of the plan is ex- pected in December.

However, with the City of Picker- ing the largest shareholder in the company at 47 per cent, Coun. Bren- ner thinks Veridian should consider covering the costs of the work out of its profits, in lieu of expanding the company into other municipalities or making payouts to shareholders like the City, which will have to immedi- ately turn around and give it back to Veridian to pay for the work. “It’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul,” he said. “Isn’t it ironic that a company owned by public shares, the municipality and the taxpayers, is telling us we have to pay for it, just like any other company?” According to Mr. Quinn, the City’s 2001 budget includes $1.892 million in income from Pickering’s interests in Veridian and he told coun- cil the company’s decision to discon- tinue funding future Kingston Road projects was “a business decision... strictly about money.” But, Mr. Weirsma said the bottom line is the discussions are not com- plete yet. He said several options are being considered and the burying of wires on Kingston Road could continue. “It’s open for discussion,” he said. “We’re not at a point now where we’ve reached any conclusion.” Coun. Brenner said he expected to meet with Mr. Weirsma yesterday (Tuesday) to discuss community part- nership and try and get the beautifica- tion of Kingston Road back on track.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 17, 2001 PAGE A3 A/P Durham police urge calm in anthrax scare DURHAM —Whether fuelled by public panic or precaution, local po- lice, fire and health officials are taking no chances as reports of suspicious substances increase in the midst of bio- terrorism fears south of the border. Durham Regional Police, local fire services and hazardous materials teams have been called to 10 separate inci- dents in the past few days as the grow- ing number of confirmed anthrax cases in the U.S. heightens concerns in Cana- da. In the U.S., one person has died, several became sick and more than a dozen have been exposed to the bacte- ria through contaminated mail since the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks on the U.S. Although there have been no con- firmed anthrax cases in Canada, offi- cials across the Greater Toronto Area are being inundated with false alarms. Sergeant Paul Malik, spokesman for Durham Regional Police, said police and emergency services are taking all reports seriously but urged calm. He suggested people try to “relax” while at the same time use common sense. “We don’t want panic to set in, al- though in some respects it already has. But we are trying to quell the public’s concerns as much as we can while at the same time taking all precautions to ensure safety,” the officer said. Health and emergency officials were notified and seized suspicious substances for testing from at least four locations Monday. In one incident a crystallized sub- stance was packaged and sent for analysis after being found by a janitor in a washroom at Durham College’s main campus in Oshawa. And four workers were taken to hospital as a precaution following a scare at General Motors’ truck plant during the third shift. “A powder was noticed on some of the parts at the receiving dock,” said Richard James, GM spokesman. “It didn’t get into the plant. We called in emergency services — fire, police — and our own security. A sample has been taken to an independent lab for analysis.” A Bowmanville chiropractic office was closed until tests are completed on a white “filmy” powder found in a plastic roll of two-dollar coins. Meanwhile a suspicious package re- ceived last week by a local radio sta- tion employee triggered alarm bells and was sent for analysis. It turned out to contain free concert tickets. According to Glendene Collins, manager of health communications for the Durham Region Health Depart- ment, suspect substances are tested at the Central Public Health Laboratory of the Ontario Ministry of Health. If something does turn out to be positive, she said the substance could then be sent for further analysis to Health Canada’s national testing facility in Winnipeg. Ms. Collins stresses using common sense when coming across suspicious packages. “If you feel you have found some- thing, call police,” she advised. “The police will alert (Durham Emergency Measures Organization) and they will alert various other agencies.” News Advertiser file photo Ajax firefighters donned hazardous materials coveralls during a scare last Friday afternoon when a woman became suspicious of a piece of un- solicited mail and contacted emergency services. GO gets charge out of Region plan If council gives final approval, fees would help with capital expansion BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —New home- owners could help Durham com- muters if the Region proceeds as expected with GO Transit capital development charges (DCs). The funding would mean two more trains in the Durham- Toronto corridor during rush hour within the next 10 years, according to consultant Cam Watson of C.N. Watson and As- sociates. The DCs would help cover the cost of upgrades to GO systems in the eastern Greater Toronto Area, including a $97.8- million rail track expansion along the Lakeshore East corri- dor from Union Station to Scar- borough, expansion of Oshawa and Whitby GO stations and an expanded platform at the Eglin- ton station in Scarborough. Under a provincial develop- ment charges act, regions can now charge home developers building lot levies proportional to the amount of growth in that region to support its share of capital costs. Based on Premier Mike Harris’s Sept. 27 GO fund- ing announcement, Mr. Watson told Durham regional council- lors at a public meeting last week he believes the municipal portion of capital costs for GO could cost Durham about $345 million over 10 years. Of that, approximately $150 million could come from development charges, with the remaining $195 million to be paid by prop- erty taxpayers. Durham would be paying just over 11 per cent of the total cost allocated to the GTA municipalities, which also include Halton, Hamilton, Peel, Toronto and York. The formula is based on the expected growth of the municipalities and the benefit each municipality will derive from capital improve- ments, Mr. Watson said. Durham Region Home- builders’ Association (DRHA) president Wayne Clarke told re- gional councillors his organiza- tion “opposes all development charges”. However, if they must be implemented, DRHA would ask building permits already being processed not be subjected to the new charge; that the pro- posed charge of $524 for a sin- gle-family home (less for apart- ment dwellings and townhouses) be reduced by 10 per cent and that the DCs be reviewed in two- and-a-half years when other re- gional and municipal develop- ment charges expire. Until it is clear whether the federal government is prepared to pay one-third of GO capital costs, it is questionable whether the plans for expansion will ever proceed, said Jeff Sully of the Urban Development Institute, Durham. “You could run with this bylaw for five years and none of the (GO) infrastructure be built,” he suggested. The Province’s plan includes its own investment of $3 billion over 10 years with $300 million annually from the GTA munici- palities and the federal govern- ment. The final draft of Durham’s development charge recommen- dations and bylaw is expected to come back for final council ap- proval on Nov. 14. Have fun, help a stray animal Durham ready with antibiotics, emergency plan DURHAM —Despite 10 inci- dents across Durham over the last few days where individuals came in contact with suspicious powders, Durham’s associate medical officer of health Dr. Donna Reynolds emphasizes the Region is well prepared because of its two nuclear power plants. “We have one of the best local emergency response plans,” she said. “All the ties we need are in place.” And even if the unthinkable happened, she assures there are 250,000 antibiotic doses available to treat anthrax bacteria. She said it is unlikely anyone in Durham Region has been or will be exposed to anthrax, but due to attempts to spread the dis- ease in the United States, it is un- derstandable people want to be aware of possible signs of infec- tion. Symptoms include: f e v e r , malaise, fatigue, cough, and mild chest discomfort, followed by se- vere respiratory distress. Again, unless someone was experiencing an extremely high fever or respiratory distress, it is not advisable to go to the hospi- tal.

SPECIAL OFFER FROM THE STAR A/P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 17, 2001 DURHAM ––Wondering who will be Ontario’s next premier? Count on a Durham-area MPP to be the first provincial leader since Os- hawa’s Gordon Conant briefly held the post in a Liberal government during the Second World War. Metroland’s long-time Queen’s Park columnist Eric Dowd, who’s been watching the legislature since 1963, likes either Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Fla- herty, currently the finance minister and deputy premier or Minster of Education Janet Ecker, Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP, to replace Mike Harris, who an- nounced his decision to step down Tues- day. Mr. Dowd, a keen observer of com- ings and goings at the Province, figures Mr. Flaherty is “the smartest candidate,” but feels Ms. Ecker is a “strong, good contender.” He rates less highly cabinet ministers Chris Hodgson who heads up Munici- pal Affairs (“he’s faded in the public eye”) Health Minister Tony Clement (“too young, he just turned 40”), Envi- ronment Minister Elizabeth Witmer (“well-liked in the party but not enough pizzazz”) and Labour Minister Chris Stockwell (“too much of an outsider.”) For her part, Ms. Ecker deflected questions Tuesday afternoon about her leadership aspirations in the wake of the premier’s decision to step down. “Right now, today, it’s his day and I’m sad to see him leave. When the fu- ture gets here, we’ll all be talking about what it will bring,” she said Tuesday. Ms. Ecker said she supported Mr. Harris in the 1990 Tory leadership race, was proud to run for him in 1995 and 1999 and would have done so again in the next election. “His vision has very much shaped this government,” she said, adding the premier “always stood up and said what he thought.” Whitby-Ajax MPP and provincial Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was un- available for comment yesterday at press time. Meanwhile, should Durham furnish the next premier, will Durham receive plenty of political goodies? Mr. Dowd says in his nearly four decades watching our MPPs and premiers, his experience suggests few tangible benefits to the re- gion from which the premier comes. “I didn’t see a lot going to North Bay during Mr. Harris’s tenure. It’s tough because the press gets all over any pre- mier who tries to give his riding more. “It was the same with Broadview- Greenwood (Toronto) when Bob Rae was premier or London when David Pe- terson was there or Brampton for Bill Davis. “In fact, the premier is hardly ever in his riding because he has so much re- sponsibility all over the rest of the province.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 17, 2001 PAGE A5 A/P Community news online at durhamregion.com Durham MPPs touted as potential premiers DURHAM — Ontario’s Grade 10 literacy test was can- celled late Mon- day, the day be- fore it was to begin, after a se- curity breach at a To ronto high school. The Educa- tion Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), which adminis- ters standardized tests for the Province’s Edu- cation Ministry, said carrying on with the test wouldn’t be fair to students.

If it’s not for the full season, it is at least for a few weeks, if not a few days. And many of them prefer taking their vehicle to travel south simply because it can be cheaper than flying and it also gives them more flexibility and freedom. Since they are leaving Canada, chances are they will drive their vehicle more than a few thousand kilometres to get to the sunny warm beaches. But does one tackle such a long trek without having his or her vehicle thoroughly checked? No matter what you drive, a compact car, SUV, truck or big RV, any of these vehicles should be well prepared for a long trip. That means a visit to your local service station or dealer to get the car ready. It is best to tell the mechanic your driving intentions and your destination. Expect an oil change (including the filter) , some greasing, checking of tire pressure, and other filter changes. If your mechanic advises you to change tires or to have the vehicle aligned before leaving, do as he says. Bad or worn out tires can be a safety hazard to you and your passengers. On the other hand, if you have noticed that one of the wheels has a tendency to shake, get them all balanced for a very comfortable ride. There is nothing more annoying than a shaking steering wheel or a vibration in the floor when you drive. And going south also means that your cooling system has to be in top shape. Have your radiator checked. Do the same with the coolant. Can it sustain warmer weather, especially in desert areas? At the same time, let your mechanic have a look at your trailer connections, if you have some. They should also be in good working condition to avoid any problems.

The verdict on the legacy of Premier Mike Harris, who an- nounced Tuesday that six years at the helm of Ontario was enough, won’t be delivered until the next provincial election. If the voters like what the premier has done these last half- dozen years, they’ll re-elect the Tories and the new premier. If not, we’ll see a new party at the helm. It’s really that simple. Consider, however, the state of On- tario in the spring of 1995 as we entered the election campaign that would shockingly vault the Harris-led Tories and their Common Sense Revolution from worst to first. Under Bob Rae, the NDP had run up a massive deficit, in part due to a brutal recession, and welfare spending was out of control. Tired of watching nothing work, Mr. Harris proposed radical change, was elected because of his message, and then delivered it. He vowed to slash provincial income taxes by 30 per cent. He pledged business tax cuts and a reduction of red tape. He said he would reduce welfare benefits and institute workfare. He pushed for one less year of high school saving $350 million. He talked of serious reductions of civil servants, of school boards and trustees, of leaner, more efficient gov- ernment. He made promises which he kept, especially during his first mandate. Not all appreciated the work of the Harris Tories. Civil ser- vice unions marched in anger when they felt wage offers were not sufficient. Teachers were less than thrilled over legislation that changed their working conditions, but which the govern- ment defended as fair, reasonable and in the best interests of students. Social activists felt Mr. Harris didn’t care about the poor and downtrodden and that his moves would only worsen the plight of those who needed government to survive. The Harris record features the greatest period of economic growth in Ontario in decades. The Tories promised the cre- ation of 725,000 jobs and beat that target. They also said they would eliminate the deficit and did so. How much Mr. Harris can take credit for all this is questionable. There was job growth and deficit elimination in almost every province across the country during his time as premier. But Ontario led the way. The tough love approach did not work for everybody. Child poverty in Ontario is still at miserable levels. Those cuts to welfare did drive many to find jobs, but those stuck at the bot- tom are suffering more than ever. Food banks still work over- time, too many are homeless. The Province seems to have lit- tle inclination to help the least fortunate. Health care is in crisis here, but not because of a lack of spending. The problem of our hospitals and health centres, of our system in general is that it needs a thorough review. The feds are conducting one currently and it will be up to the next premier to address the ever-present problems. Mr. Harris elicited strong emotions from friend and foe. Blunt-spoken and without pretension, he delivered on his be- lief that less government and lower taxes are best for Ontario. Our province was his province. His impact will be felt for decades to come. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 17, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Let’s stop ‘appalling’ selling of war To the editor: In light of the terrorist attacks on the United States, I find it ap- palling that local retailers would promote violence with the selling of war toys while on the other hand display donation boxes all over their stores asking for contri- butions to relief funds. At this difficult time that is being felt all over the world, par- ents are trying to instil in their children that violence is not the answer to solving problems. As a parent of three, I find it difficult to reassure my children that the world is safe. I have explained the people who committed this horrific act should be punished but not at the expense of thousands of other deaths. We have so many other heroes right now: the firefighters, the po- lice officers, the ambulatory ser- vice people and, of course, all the citizens who saved people they did not even know. I think retailers should follow the example of the movie industry and pull these items off the shelves and display areas of their stores, at least until the healing process is complete (if it ever is). So many children are fearing the worst. Let us not encourage this fear anymore by selling prod- ucts that promote such a thing as the ‘new war’. A.A. Houston, Pickering Go to the source for truth about Islam To the editor: In the wake of the recent con- fusion and stigma attaching Islam to evil, I want to make it absolutely clear Islam means peace and anything beyond that is contrary to Islam. There are some Muslims who are ‘Muslims’by name only, just like Christians and Jews. They just happen to be born into religions that they have mis- used to advance their own inter- ests much to their own detri- ment. Islam teaches us to value life even before a child is born, to love your neighbours even if they are not Muslims, to be kind to one another, etc. The Quran is the word of God and throughout the Quran, God commands us to forbid evil and enjoin good. Just because Catholics and Protestants fight each other does not mean Christianity is evil. There are good Muslims, Jews and Christians throughout the world. Regardless of which do- minion to which you belong, all human beings are creations of God and only God has the right to take life, which belongs solely to God. I am urging all Canadians to educate themselves about Islam by reading the Quran and not from sources that misrepresent Islam.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. Governments are suddenly be- coming more respectable and this poses a problem for Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives. The Tories, under Premier Mike Harris, won two elections largely on the claim government was too big, inefficient, wasteful and pervasive and needed to be cut and the savings used to reduce taxes. They said Ontarians were the world’s most over-governed peo- ple, paying more for government while receiving less value, and ar- gued private employers could do many jobs cheaper, faster and bet- ter and bureaucrats would never voluntarily surrender their power. They also never missed an op- portunity to belittle government, bringing in laws such as their Fewer Politicians, Government Efficiency and Cutting Red Tape acts and imposing ‘business plans’ on all its branches as if they were selling cars. Mr. Harris resembled a succes- sion of U.S. Republican presiden- tial candidates, who invariably declared their first job would be to go to Washington and get rid of all the bureaucracy that was ruin- ing the country. The Tories have cut some gov- ernment that needed to be trimmed because it was wasteful. Unfortunately, they cut ministries such as environment, which helped prevent pollution, and this helped them reduce taxes, but in doing so they made government a dirty word. Government at its best is peo- ple joining to provide necessary services they cannot provide indi- vidually and the Tories’view of it began to be questioned by many in Ontario when a contaminated water supply at Walkerton caused deaths and illnesses. But the Province recently or- dered many other local water sup- pliers to raise their operations to safe standards and the one sure outcome of a judicial enquiry, of which findings will be announced soon, is that it will ask govern- ment to assure better protection is in place, because no one else but government could do this. The Harris government also handed over responsibility for improving public transit around Toronto to municipalities, but has retreated and said it is too big a task and will do it itself. It planned to give hospitals much of the work of Cancer Care Ontario, its agency that organizes treatment for 225,000 patients, then abandoned the idea because some supervisory body needs to adjudicate between hospitals’ competing demands and govern- ment is best suited. But the most powerful stimu- lus to recognizing there are roles only government can play was last month’s terrorist attacks in the United States. Citizens looked to govern- ment to protect them and Canada made its initial commitment in armed forces and the vast majori- ty support it. Airlines and the tourism in- dustry turned to government, not private enterprise, for cash to keep their operations going. The biggest heroes have been workers in the public sector — firefighters killed rushing into buildings to save lives while occupants who could were fleeing them. Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman was turned down by his council earlier when he wanted to hire more firefighters, but it is a safe bet they will be approved now. Experts on the economy, in- cluding such bastions of free en- terprise as banks which normally argue governments should reduce their spending, have called on them in this emergency to in- crease it, particularly on infra- structure, military and security and even go into debt to stimulate stalled economies. One even uttered the heresy that government spending, be- cause it adds directly to output, is more effective and quicker than tax cuts, the route the Tories took. Private enterprise meanwhile has not looked as reliable. In- vestors have watched their stocks fall to their lowest value in three years. Business leaders are no longer trumpeted as today’s heroes. While investors in many compa- nies have lost money and employ- ees their jobs, their chief execu- tive officers have been raking in huge increased salaries and stock options sometimes running into tens of millions of dollars. Government has looked by comparison solid and steady and it will not be as easy for the To- ries and their new leader to win another election by running it down. Whipping boy suddenly looking good Tory cry of cutting government may need rethinking in wake of Sept. 11 Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com DIL Hospital c. 1953 When Defence Industries Limited (DIL) began opera- tion, it opened a 12-bed hospital at the corner of Kings Crescent and Exeter Road (where the Salvation Army building now stands) for its 9,000 workers. The simple frame building closed with the plant in 1945, and by 1950, area residents were demanding their own hospi- tal, as they had to travel to Oshawa or Toronto for care. The first Ajax Pickering General Hospital was built in 1953, incorporating the original DIL hospital building, which had been moved to just south of the present hos- pital’s location on Harwood Avenue. With the construc- tion of the new Ajax and Pickering Hospital in 1964, the original wood frame building was taken down.

Waste Reduction Week (WRW) is being celebrated not only in Ajax and Pickering this week, but across the country, marking the first time Canadian provinces and territories are working to- gether to make it a national event. “As an environmental issue, the problem of waste is now understood as being of far greater concern than just ‘where do we put all the garbage’?” said David Anderson, federal minister of the environment. “Increasingly, countries around the world are beginning to un- derstand that waste, in its many forms, is a direct cause of air and water pollution and energy use.” WRW, which began Monday and runs until Sunday, Oct. 21, is intended to raise public awareness about waste and its environmental and social ramifica- tions. This year’s theme, ‘too good to waste’, is about conveying an apprecia- tion of the richness and beauty of our di- verse world and how we can protect the environment by conserving resources and curbing wasteful practices. In Canada, we throw out more per person than any other country in the world. Each of us produces 1.7 kilo- grams of waste daily — roughly our body weight in garbage every single month. Because the issue is so serious, gov- ernments across Canada have set goals to reduce waste by 50 per cent or more. That is why the City of Pickering is planning to test its citizens in an upcom- ing pilot study of 518 homes in Amber- lea. The new split cart program will di- vert not only recyclables from the waste stream, but also organics. However, recycling and composting is not enough to solve the waste crisis. We still have to reduce and reuse. Dur- ing the month of October, The Beer Store outlets across Ontario will be dis- playing a box to collect unwanted sport- ing equipment. During WRW let us start thinking of ourselves not as consumers, but as conservers. Here’s some ways to make a differ- ence: There will be displays around Picker- ing and Ajax, and Ajax is also starting a promotional campaign of better recy- cling habits. Miller Waste collection crews of both recyclables and garbage will let me know their favourite and least favourite routes. The Beer Store in the Whites Road Plaza will offer ‘The Creative Cook’s Recycling Book’ as a prize for a bottle cap guess. This simply reminds people that caps can go into blue boxes too. Tonight (Wednesday), Amberlea resi- dents can attend a meeting to ask ques- tions regarding the pilot waste project. In addition, the Treasure Chest, a monthly feature of Recycler’s Corner and the News Advertiser, is giving away an Earth Machine composter in a draw. The winner of the annual mayors’ chal- lenge, to determine which municipality, Pickering or Ajax, sent the least waste to landfill, will be determined. The Pickering Waste Reduction Committee has finalized its report on re- cycling efforts at the Frenchman’s Bay Festival and has chosen this week to send it to the City and others who may be interested in its results.

A resident of Durham Region for 15 years, Allan has been the Centre Manager at Pickering Town Centre since 1991 and has been in real estate management and the retail industry for twenty-five years. Preceding his current role, Allan held the positions of General Manager, Director of Operations and National Director of Marketing during five years at Oshawa Centre. Prior to his tenure in Durham Region, Allan worked extensively throughout Canada in both the real estate and retail management fields. Allan has held such positions as 1st Vice President of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and Advisor to the Business Department of Durham College. Other positions include Appointee to the Mayors’ Task Force on Remuneration, member of the Communications Department for the Durham College fund raising campaign, Steering Committee Member & Major Sponsor for the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic in support of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation. He is a member of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade and the International Council of Shopping Centres. Allan is also a graduate of a Commercial Art & Design program at Holland College in PEI, and has been presented with a letter of commendation from the Office of the Premier for his work in the community. During his ten-year tenure at Pickering Town Centre, Allan has been the catalyst of many changes and upgrades to the property. With the addition of new stores, aesthetic upgrades and a shopping centre expansion, Allan has led the property through an accelerated pattern of growth over the past decade. What’s more, believing that Pickering Town Centre must continually provide improved services for its customers, Allan has been the champion of several customer service programmes such as a Guest Services Department, Customer with Child Parking, mall-wide Gift Certificates, and expanded Security Services. Allan has led the Pickering Town Centre team through many aesthetic upgrades including a new centre court renovation, exterior landscaping upgrades, renovation of all shopping centre washrooms, the addition of new benches and planters, a directional signage system and new directory boards. In May 1999 Allan was the principal driver in again improving the aesthetics of the shopping centre, when Pickering Town Centre welcomed “Dreamscape”, a 17 foot tall, highly polished stainless steel sculpture. This gift of public art for the community is the creation of sculptor Edward Falkenberg who was selected for this project from a committee led by Allan Arsenault. In support of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation, Allan has given his time, his leadership and his support to the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic for the past six years helping to raise over $675,000 for thousands of patients cared for at the Health Centre each year. The dollars raised have supported the purchase of vital medical equipment and the tournament is one of the most successful charity golf tournaments in the GTA. The future holds nothing but promise as Allan celebrates his tenth year at Pickering Town Centre. Allan’s staff, associates, community partners and friends join in celebration of this tenth anniversary knowing that with Allan’s leadership, Pickering Town Centre will continue to grow, expand and flourish with the community.

The concerns of the Pickering Boyer Ponti- ac Panthers’new head coach only escalated fol- lowing a 6-2 home-ice loss to the Wexford Raiders in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference action at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night. Despite two periods of solid play, the final 20 minutes resulted in a complete meltdown for the Panthers, allowing the Raiders to score three times and nail down their sixth victory of the season. For Pickering, the loss moves its league record to 4-5-1-1 for 10 points (fourth in the South Conference standings). “We played well for two periods, but there’s a thing called depth and that thing took over Fri- day. When you hold a team like that down to a couple of goals in the first two periods you’ve played pretty well. Up until (the third period) it was a pretty good hockey game,” said Purcell. The teams played to a 1-1 tie after the first period, with Wexford striking for two unan- swered goals in the middle frame for a 3-1 lead. The Panthers narrowed the gap to one goal early in the third, but a Wexford power-play marker at the 5:40 mark seemed to break the Panthers’spirit. The defensive zone coverage, noted Purcell, was a particularly sore spot as Wexford’s Gus Katsuras exploited the weakness to score four goals — something that rankles Purcell. “There were bad letdowns in our defensive zone coverage by one of our players,” he said, refusing to name the culprit.

After its opening loss to the Ice Dogs, Durham went on to beat Peterborough 2-0 with Stephanie Wil- son and Morgan Gerrie scoring, and Hamilton 3-1 thanks to a pair of goals from Stoneburgh and one from Gerrie. Jessica Rankin and Jessica Larabie provided out- standing goaltending, while Rebecca Van Gijn, Danielle Douglas, Kelly Woods, Sero and Jamie Gooding supplied solid defensive assistance. Stephanie Michalicka recorded four assists during the tournament, Sero pitched in with two, and Joanna Black, Wilson, Adair, Gerrie, Victoria Smith, and Stoneburgh all added one helper.

We have to have to guys who were here last year jump up a bit because we’re not getting many goals,” he said. Dan Schofield, on the power play, and Brent Chandler scored for Pickering.

ALL WINTER BOOTS Durham handed 10-1 loss by Beatrice in women’s hockey action DURHAM —The Telus Light- ning crashed back down to Earth with a lopsided loss to the powerhouse Beatrice Aeros in women’s hockey action Monday night. After defeating the Mississauga Ice Bears in its home opener last Tuesday, Telus couldn’t sustain the early promise and absorbed a 10-1 loss in Toronto to the defending Na- tional Women’s Hockey League champion Aeros. The loss, noted Telus general manager Bill Williamson, was exac- erbated by an inordinate amount of penalties against the Lightning. The number of infractions, he noted, were the undoing of what was otherwise a good hockey game. “To say that the referee changed the complexion of what was a great game in the first period is an understatement,” said Williamson. “Players at this level bump and grind et cetera but some of- ficials let them play and others seem to need to be the focus of the game.” Regardless of the penalties, Williamson said his players need to play through the refereeing in order to be successful. Telus held an early lead, but Beat- rice evened the score during a Light- ning penalty. More penalties in the opening frame allowed the Aeros to strike for two more power-play mark- ers to take a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes. Beatrice continued to make Telus pay on the power play in the second period, taking a 5-1 lead. The Aeros rounded out the scoring with five goals in the third. Telus plays in Brampton against the Thunder this Saturday night. The Lightning’s next home game is against the Ottawa Raiders at the Ajax Community Centre Saturday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Two-year-old turning heads with skateboard prowess BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A crowd of teenaged skateboarding aficionados marvelled as he deft- ly rode his board through the manmade hills and valleys of the Princess of Wales Skateboard Park Monday afternoon. They clapped and cheered as Tony Hawk-in- miniature, Mitch Nye, confidently rolled down into the bowl and up the other side while still standing firmly on his board. The scene is remarkable because the boy rid- ing the board is only two-and-a-half years old. What’s more, ‘Mighty’ Mitch, the son of Ingrid and Jamie Nye of Pickering, has been riding alongside the big boys at the skate park for the past year. During that time, he has mastered many of the tricks of the trade while rolling around on his big, red skateboard. His mother recalled her son was turned on to the activity after an older cousin visited from California more than a year ago. “He took a shine to the big boy board, so we bought him a kiddie one last year,” said Mrs. Nye. “He’s an oddity, I guess.” He received his big skateboard three weeks ago, but only after his mother used the promise of a bigger skateboard as the proverbial carrot to hasten his toilet training. “We told him when he didn’t need a diaper anymore he could get a bigger board. We told him, ‘you don’t want to be at a skateboard park in diapers,’ so it worked as motivation,” she said. Mitch hops aboard his board at the popular Pickering skate park every second day in the af- ternoon, but only after the precocious tot has completed his daily nap. His mother pointed out he’s learning to ‘ollie’ (flip the skateboard 360- degrees and land back on its surface) and has mastered riding down the quarter pipe and into the big bowl and returning safely to the other side. “All the other kids who are there help him out and show him stuff,” Mrs. Nye commented, adding that each session at the park lasts for about an hour. “It’s pretty physical for a guy his age.” It’s every mother’s worry that a child so young could be hurt while riding at the skate- board park with older and larger youths. Fortu- nately, Mitch has suffered no injuries as he sim- ply rolls off the board when losing his balance. One time, however, Mrs. Nye described a close call as Mitch had a collision with an older skateboarder. “A big galoot of a guy wiped him out. He was OK, but he landed on his head,” she said, adding her son was wearing his helmet. Mrs. Nye noted she’s not surprised by her son’s skateboarding prowess as he’s always been a strong child who immediately took a shine to sports. “When he was a baby he could lift a lot of things. He’s always been very strong and has al- ways been co-ordinated. He’s very petite, but very strong,” she said. In addition to skateboarding, Mitch is also fond of tennis. His mother said on a trip to Florida last winter, he learned to return the ball over the net as a two-year-old. Whether or not his love of skateboarding will progress as he grows older, his mother is unsure. But, she’s convinced he’ll be involved in sports in some capacity. “It’s hard to say if a two-year-old will stick with (skateboarding). We were hoping he would have liked the tennis better,” said Mrs. Nye with a laugh.

The review affects an area of land generally bound by Kingston Road, Whites Road, and Sheppard Avenue and is shown on the map below. The purpose of the review is to recommend changes to the Development Guidelines, which will assist in achieving a cohesive identify for the area, to guide development on private property, and to provide Pickering with a framework for reviewing development applications. As part of the review, the feasibility of piping a tributary of Amberlea Creek as well as the consolidation of access points along Kingston Road and an internal road scheme to service the interior of the quadrant are being examined. City Staff would like to present information on the major components of the review, namely transportation, environmental/ stormwater, and draft development guidelines.

When Pickering firefighters found out hundreds of their New York colleagues died in the collapse of the World Trade Center they offered to help any way they could. A list of firefighters willing to join the clean-up effort was compiled and this City’s life- savers waited for the call, but that was just the beginning. The Pickering Firefighters Association decided this year’s proceeds from their annual boot drive would go to the New York Firefighters 911 Relief Fund. In just 10 hours last week- end at local malls and fire halls, they raised more than $50,000 for the families of the firefighters lost in the terrorist attack. “This has affected the whole world,” said the firefighters as- sociation public relations di- rector Kirk Smythe. “The tragedy has really hit home.” Mr. Smythe said a team of Pickering Firefighters played a friendly hockey game against a New York squad five years ago, and he can’t help but think those he checked into the boards and then shared a beer with after the game have been devastated by the events on Sept. 11. “A part of our souls are gone,” he said. “These guys feel like family members even though we may have never met them. We’ll help out any way we can.” The relief effort continues as the association is selling re- lief fund T-shirts at Pickering fire station five at Bayly Street and Brock Road and Mr. Smythe said they sold the first 250 in a day and a half. Mr. Smythe praised all the local residents and businesses that helped them raise the money and hopes the effort will continue.

Funding available to upgrade wells DURHAM —Durham well own- ers could be eligible for financial as- sistance to improve their working wells or to decommission abandoned ones. The Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture (OFA) will be overseeing a pro- gram that will provide assistance for well owners for up to 70 per cent of the cost for work done to improve well safety or to take abandoned wells out of service. Farmers interested in participating in the program must complete an en- vironmental farm plan (EFP) while non-agricultural residents must have their wells scrutinized under the EFP process. Application forms for the well water projects are available from all OFA member service representatives or from the OFA office at 40 Eglinton Ave. E., 5th floor, Toronto, M4P 3A2 or by calling 416-485-3333.

Church to host remains of St. Therese of Lisieux for 24 hours BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM —More than 100 years after her death, St. Therese of Lisieux will visit Courtice, perhaps on the very type of missionary trip the young nun dreamed of making during her short life. St. Therese Catholic Church on Courtice Road has been chosen as one of only two sites in the geograph- ically large Peterborough diocese to host the major reliquary, or bodily re- mains, of St. Therese. The 24-hour visit begins on Mon- day, Oct. 22 at 6 p.m., and runs around the clock until 6 p.m. the next day when St. Therese will resume her journey. Since 1994, the remains of the young woman, only 24 when she died of tuberculosis in 1897, have been travelling around the world, with throngs of the faithful, or even the merely curious, flocking to the host sites. The idea of relics being an integral part of Christianity and the Catholic Church dates back many years, says Father Norbert Glasmacher, parish priest at St. Therese. “Relics have always played a part in the faith,” he explained. And, the tradition has continued through the years. “Even today, there is a relic embedded in the altar of each parish church.” But, “for all the remains of a saint to be sent on a tour, that is not com- mon”. St. Therese was only 15 years old when, against the wishes of many who believed she was too young for such a vocation, she entered the con- vent. “She was so passionate about be- coming a nun at such an early age,” related Denise Walker, a parishioner at St. Therese. “She spoke to her father, her priest, the bishop. Then her family goes to Rome, and she begs the Pope to ask him to allow her to become a nun.” Finally, she entered the convent, where she spent her time looking after young nuns entering the voca- tion. Within several years, it became clear she was dying of TB, and “as part of her obedience, the Mother Su- perior asked her to write her spiritual thoughts,” said Ms. Walker. The thoughts, a collection of three manu- scripts, were published under the title of ‘A Story of a Soul.’ “Nobody knew how profound a thinker she was,” explained Ms. Walker. “The book has been translat- ed into just about every possible lan- guage. “She was made a saint because she, in the confines on the convent, all locked away, was able to live to such great spiritual heights.” According to information from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, St. Therese’s “reputation for holiness” spread after publication of her book. “Right after her death, there were reports of extraordinary events asso- ciated with her, including cures and conversions. Pilgrims were soon flocking to Lisieux”, in France, where she had lived in the Carmelite convent. She was canonized in 1925, and in October 1997, current Pope John Paul II, given her worldwide in- fluence, proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church. The visit of her remains allows St. Therese to do something she was un- able to do during her life, said Father Glasmacher. “She wanted to be a missionary, but she was a sister in a convent, re- moved physically from the world,” he said. “Now she’s a missionary, travel- ling the world.” The Courtice church is preparing itself for about 10,000 visitors during the 24-hour visit, which will run throughout the night and day with mass being held several times. “She’s in Vancouver now, and by the thousands they were out,” said Fa- ther Glasmacher last week. But, he noted, “In the end, it’s not a number. Success is not measured in numbers; it’s measured in something much more personal.” The visit is not just open to those who are already members of the Church, he said. “We’re encouraging all people to come, non-Catholic, not from the parish — even if they’re just curious,” he said. “As a missionary, she teaches everybody. This is not about making people Catholic; that’s not her point at all.” There will be a closing mass at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday and a gift shop and limited refreshment area will be set up, and off-site parking will be available to allow people to get to the church, located on the west side of Courtice Road, north of Nash Road. After the closing mass, the major reliquary will move to its next stop in Peterborough, before leaving the dio- cese to continue its journey. More information is available by calling 905-436-2126, via e-mail at sainttherese@sprint.ca, or on the church’s Website, at www.st-therese- church.com.

THERESE OF LISIEUX Remains arrive in Durham Monday, Oct. 22 Police blitz makes an Impact More than 600 tickets issued in first three days DURHAM — A motorist rushing his sick dog to the vet- erinarian was among hun- dreds of speed- ers and other traffic violators nabbed by po- lice across the region during the first three days of ‘Opera- tion Impact’. As part of the annual na- tionwide law enforcement traffic blitz, Durham Re- gional Police set up teams in Whitby, Ajax and Pickering Tuesday and Wednesday. During the two days, police is- sued 223 tickets for speeding, 10 for intersection- traffic light in- fractions, six for failing to wear seat-belts and 14 for other assorted High- way Traffic Act violations. In total, po- lice across the region have is- sued 609 traffic tickets during the first three days of the pro- ject — and they’ve heard just about as many excuses. According to police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik, one dri- ver who was clocked doing 118 km/h in a 60 km/h zone claimed: “My dog just ate a box of maca- roons and is sick, I am tak- ing him to the vet.” Teams of of- ficers fanned out across north Durham last Friday, the first day of Opera- tion Impact, and issued 152 traf- fic tickets, 128 for speeding. The cam- paign continues this weekend. HALLOWEEN PARTY JOIN US! GARY TAYLOR 416-281-8090 HUGE LOT Well maintained 3 bdrm. home. 50’ x 150’ lot. Quiet street.
