HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2001_10_19Threat almost ‘no
concern’: Regional
chairman
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Roger Anderson
sent out a message of reassurance
to Durham citizens yesterday and
called for calm in the wake of bio-
terrorism sabotage in the United
States.
“To those of you who are con-
cerned, you don’t have to be,” the
Durham chairman said at a hur-
riedly called press conference
Thursday morning at Regional
headquarters. “The threat of bio-
terrorism in Durham Region is
very, very, very small, almost to
the point of being no concern
whatsoever.”
The chairman hastened to add
that in the unlikely event of a real
anthrax or other bio-hazardous in-
cident, the Region’s emergency
services departments are prepared.
“There is a plan that is active
and in effect,” said Mr. Anderson.
The chairman was flanked by
Durham Regional Police Chief
Kevin McAlpine, Durham’s med-
ical officer of health Dr. Robert
Kyle, Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wil-
son, who is the Region’s deputy
regional fire co-ordinator, and
Durham emergency measures di-
rector Ivan Ciuciura. They took
turns reassuring all possible mea-
sures are being taken for public
safety.
Since Oct. 10, Durham Region-
al Police have responded to 17
calls of suspicious substances,
said Chief McAlpine, who pointed
out that in the same time period
there were 3,300 calls for service
on other matters.
“Most businesses are taking a
calm, common sense approach to
this,” said Chief McAlpine.
All of the calls to date have been
false alarms, he noted.
“There has been no case of an-
thrax in Durham Region or indeed
in Ontario or Canada for many
years,” confirmed Dr. Kyle. Of the
17 calls, only three warranted test-
ing at a Toronto public health lab,
he said. Of those, one contained
no powder or substance, another
was negative and one was awaiting
results but was considered “likely

Current $75-million
limit in event of accident
‘not what it should be’
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The federal
Nuclear Liability Act was back in
the fold Monday night as council-
lors agreed to ask for an increase
to the financial limits.
“After all this time there’s no
further need for review and discus-
sion,”said Ward 1 Regional Coun-
cillor Maurice Brenner at a council
meeting. “We know (the liability
amount) is not what it should be
and has not been what it should be
for some time.”
The act, which currently re-
quires facility operators to carry
$75 million in liability coverage in
the event of a nuclear accident, is
under review by the federal Min-
istry of Natural Resources and a
$650 million amount is being con-
sidered as the new benchmark.
Pickering councillors voted to
ask the federal minister of natural
resources to conclude a review of
the act and implement steps to in-
crease the liability.
Pat O’Brien, manager of public
affairs for Ontario Power Genera-
tion (OPG) in Pickering, has previ-
ously expressed support of in-
creased liability amounts and
Coun. Brenner now wants some
closure brought to the issue.
“We ’ve been underinsured in

Money GOing, GOing, gone?
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––It’s hard to
divvy up a pie when you don’t
know how many pieces there
are, regional councillors deter-
mined after discovering there
are more questions than an-
swers on last month’s provin-
cial GO funding announcement.
Shortly after the Sept. 27 an-
nouncement that the Province
would take back financial re-
sponsibility for GO Transit, the
mayors and regional chairman
began speculating on how the
money currently contributed to
GO by the Region - about $12
million a year - should be real-
located to local transit systems.
But, after reviewing a report
by Commissioner of Finance
Jim Clapp last week, many
councillors are scratching their
heads as to whether the Region
will actually see any of that
money for local improvements.
“I would be very cautious as
to if we are truly going to be
funding capital locally (with
that money). There may not be
any savings. There may be ad-
ditional costs,” the commission-
er warned councillors at a fi-
nance and administration meet-
ing. “I’m not so sure there will
be a surplus at the end of the
day.”
Since the announcement, the
Province has provided “no fur-
ther details” about the financial
implications for municipalities,
Mr. Clapp reported.
Currently, Durham pays 11.3
per cent of the GTA GO pooling
fund.
Later the same day at a meet-
ing of regional council, Ajax
Mayor Steve Parish suggested
the Region should investigate a
way to ensure any money com-
ing back to Durham as a result
of the Sept. 27 announcement
go to current transit operators
within the region.
Other councillors said they
would prefer to see a regional
transit system created with the
money.
“We should be looking of
breaking out of the envelope,”
said Pickering Councillor Mau-
rice Brenner.
Council will reconsider
Mayor Parish’s motion at its
first meeting in the new year.

negative” at the time of the
press conference.
Dr. Kyle cautioned the
public against “indiscrimi-
nate use” of antibiotics to
combat Anthrax. “All drugs
have certain side effects,” he
said, adding widespread use
could lead to drug-resistant
illnesses down the road.
Chief Wilson noted there
is co-operation between the
Region’s municipal fire de-
partments. “We’re totally
prepared to deal with these
situations,” he said.
Chief McAlpine said
anyone caught playing a
hoax or sending suspicious
material through the mail
“would have their opportu-
nity to say, ‘good morning
your honour’.”
Unfortunately, he added,
many mail marketers send
items without a return ad-
dress, a practice he would
like to see banned in Cana-
da.
However, in light of the
fact it is a common practice,
he suggested residents re-
ceiving such mail not jump
to the conclusion it is auto-
matically suspicious in na-
ture. Other characteristics of
suspicious mail may in-
clude: excessive postage,
oily stains, discolorations or
odours on the package or
handwritten or poorly typed
addresses.
Anyone who does come
across a suspicious package
is encouraged to leave the
area, wash their hands and
call 911.
However, suggested Mr.
Anderson, “Analyse the situ-
ation for a few moments be-
fore you dial 911,” to ensure
it isn’t an overreaction.

City backs larger liability

terms of nuclear liability for
too long,” he said.
Ward 2 City Councillor
Bill McLean also spoke in
favour of asking the Minis-
ter to bring the matter to a
quick conclusion.
“This is a very important
issue. As our property val-
ues have increased so has
the value of our insurance...
we need to do this as quick-
ly as possible,” he said.
“This has nothing to do
with what happened Sept.
11, it’s just a piece of
housekeeping and I know
OPG is in favour of it.”

DURHAM —Uxbridge
Public School’s garden was
named the best in the
Durham District School
Board as the ‘Hey we’re
looking good this summer’
contest winners were an-
nounced Monday night.
Board spokesman Andrea
Pidwerbecki noted the con-
test is designed “to help
schools be better neighbours
to the communities they
serve, particularly in the
summer when the schools
are vacant”.
Staff and students are en-
couraged to spruce up the
appearance of their schools
during the summer. Ms. Pid-
werbecki visited the schools
and viewed the gardens and
grounds, judging them using
criteria that included the ab-
sence of trash and weeds.
Uxbridge Public School
was chosen for its peace gar-
den to celebrate the facility’s
70th anniversary. The school
received $300 and a plaque.
Second place and a $200
cheque was awarded to
Ormiston Public School in
Whitby.
Remaining finalists were

Sometimes peace
just not possible
To the editor:
Re: ‘This is not Islam,’Oct. 10.
High praise is due Mr. Kazim Qureshi
for rejecting terrorism. However, wanting to
limit it to one misguided man and group is
not borne out by just some of the facts:
• An entire network of separate groups
allied in the same cause is spread all around
the world;
• Mullahs everywhere are agitating for
holy war not through philosophical debate,
but by any and all other means;
• Muslim regimes everywhere are deadly
afraid of these fundamentalist zealots in
their own countries;
• Not a single Muslim regime has open-
ly and unequivocally condemned the radi-
cals, let alone tried to eradicate or even os-
tracize them from their own societies;
• The Al Muhajiron group in London,
England, issuing a fatwa against all leaders
supporting the U.S.-led coalition; and
• We must also remember that, with only
few exceptions, Islamic clergy and govern-
ments are often so closely intertwined as to
be virtually indistinguishable. This makes it
extremely difficult for outsiders to identify
and isolate the culprits for appropriate ac-
tion. Can anyone doubt the outcry if any
number of the items listed above were to be
proposed by a fundamentalist Christian
group against Islam? The media would go
absolutely berserk and neither governments
nor mainstream faiths would countenance
such evil.
In closing, while a peaceful solution is
most preferable, surely even Mr. Qureshi
will understand, after additional thought,
there are deeds, circumstances and times
when this is simply not possible, if for no
other reason than the integrity of a nation, if
not its outright political, economic and
defining survival.

My father-in-law, a man with
many unique stories and experiences
from a long life well-lived, often
talks of an old uncle. The abbreviat-
ed version of the story has Uncle
Elmer, wrongly charged by township
police, for a traffic violation. Upon
his conviction, Elmer insisted a mis-
carriage of justice had taken place.
He paid his fine and vowed never to
drive his car in Midland Township
again; and it was for the next 45
years that he was true to his word.
One might dismiss these actions
as the antics of an eccentric old man,
however, hearing the story for the
first time, my feelings were quite the
contrary. I found myself mourning
the loss of a dying breed of people,
those who live by their principles.
The end of the 20th century was
not kind to time-honoured traditions
such as honesty, integrity and re-
spect, as our society’s moral com-
pass seemed to stop providing a
clear sense of direction. Various ele-
ments may share the blame, such as
the deterioration of basic parenting
skills, but I place the greatest burden
at the feet of our governments. Why
is it that we Canadians are so willing
to accept mediocrity from our elect-
ed representatives?
We need to look no further than
recent events surrounding federal
cabinet minister Hedy Fry. She was
exposed as a liar for uttering several
provocative falsehoods on the floor
of the House of Commons and yet
there were no repercussions for this
unacceptable behaviour. What exam-
ple does this send to the generations,
young and old alike, when dishon-
esty is a tolerated form of behaviour
within our national government?
Honesty and respect continue to be
the exception rather than the rule of
our lives, thanks in part to individu-
als such as Ms. Fry.
My friend has a sign on his fridge
that reads: ‘Integrity is doing the
right thing when no one is watching.’
I must confess, my life was a lot sim-
pler when the line dividing right
from wrong had a degree of flexibil-
ity.
Becoming a parent has had a lot
to do with the solidification of that
line. Society can be graded on the
subtle events. How should we view
an individual who openly brags
about planning a home renovation
around an insurance claim?
I’m hoping our future generations
will live by the words of the Tibetan
Dalai Lama: “Live a good, hon-
ourable life. Then, when you get
older and think back, you’ll be able
to enjoy it a second time.”
What example are you setting for
your children?

What example are you setting for your children?
‘Live a good, honourable life and when you get older, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time’
They’ve both held tough, demanding portfolios even though
they have just six years experience as MPPs. In their short politi-
cal careers as elected representatives, Janet Ecker and Jim Fla-
herty have proven conclusively they can rise to the challenge and
provide leadership under fire.
Now comes the ultimate test in Canada’s largest, richest and
most diverse province.
Will Ecker, the education minister,Tory house leader and MPP
for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, try to grab for the brass ring and
become the first female Conservative leader in Ontario, the first
female premier of the province?
Will Finance Minister and Deputy Premier Flaherty, the MPP
for Whitby-Ajax, take the next step in a career that has progressed
from the backbenches all the way to the No. 2 job in just over
half-a-decade?
The smart money is both will run and both will emerge as very
strong competitors in a field of up to seven candidates to replace
outgoing Premier Mike Harris.
Both have done a very solid job — and earned Mr. Harris’s
trust and respect in the process — ever since they came to
Queen’s Park in June 1995. Ms. Ecker took on the demanding
Community and Social Services Ministry and delivered ever-de-
creasing welfare numbers month in and month out. In education,
she has faced the wrath of teachers’ unions head on and hasn’t
flinched.
Mr. Flaherty’s profile increased steadily throughout the Tory
mandate and made his way from labour to attorney general and
finally, in the second term of government, to finance.
Clearly, one consideration for all mulling a leadership run is
the prohibitive cost and the amount of organization required. It’s
estimated a first-class campaign would cost between $1 million
and $2 million over a six-month period. Since the provincial To-
ries raised only $12 million last year in total, that provides for a
fairly small field.
Still, it’s almost certain Health Minister Tony Clement will
compete for the job as will Environment Minister Elizabeth Wit-
mer.
Other possible contenders include Municipal Affairs Minister
Chris Hodgson, Labour Minister Chris Stockwell, and Northern
Affairs and Mines Minister Tim Hudak.
While it can’t be denied ministers Clement and Witmer have
also shown their mettle (both have been in health, next to finance
the toughest of all ministries), our hope is the next premier of this
province will be either Ms. Ecker or Mr. Flaherty.
Janet or Jim: may
the best person win

Students from preschool to Grade 8 explore interactive curriculum to help stay risk-free
Classroom CONNECTIONS
News Advertiser Oct. 19, 2001
Not on
St. Marguerite’s watch
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM — A coalition of community
partners has joined forces at a local school this
year so lessons students learn will help keep
them and their families safe.
St. Marguerite d’Youville Catholic School
is the first in Whitby to introduce Risk Watch,
a pilot program for kids in preschool through
Grade 8. The non-profit National Fire Protec-
tion Association in the United States devel-
oped Risk Watch. It is the first injury preven-
tion curriculum available for use in schools
that addresses major unintentional injuries
that are the leading killers of children.
Principal Suzanne Roche said Risk Watch
opens up dialogue about safety in the home
and heightens children’s awareness.
“Children in most homes get some of this
knowledge at home, but it was brought to our
attention by (Durham Regional Police Con-
stable) Gord Fleming that if the teacher says
this is how it’s done, they have trust in teach-
ers, it’s more meaningful for them,” she said.
Vice-principal Louise Liberty, the school’s
Risk Watch facilitator, said the grade-by-
grade, sequential program addresses eight
modules per year. Each grade spends a total of
eight weeks learning about motor vehicle
safety; prevention of fires and burns, choking,
poisoning, firearms injury, falls, suffocation
and strangulation; and bike, pedestrian and
water safety.
Students are encouraged to take what they
learn and apply it to their own home environ-
ment. In a sense, the students become the
safety experts and learn not only from their
teachers, but also from coalition partners from
the Durham Region Health Department, po-
lice service and Whitby Fire and Emergency
Services.
“We’re able to enhance what the teachers
are teaching in that we can provide visual
aids,” said Fire Prevention Officer Janice
Laswick.
Teachers are able to book experts such as
Ms. Laswick during the week they are teach-
ing a specific module, in this case, fire and
burn prevention.
In a recent interview, Ms. Laswick said she
was preparing to visit a Grade 6 class that
morning to discuss the importance of having
working smoke alarms in homes. The students
would also develop home escape plans with
their families, and then bring them back to
school for evaluation. Ms. Laswick said prac-
tice is an important component of the escape
plan. Twice a year parents are encouraged to
sound the fire alarm so the family can rehearse
what they have learned, making them better
prepared in the event of an emergency.
“We want the families to get involved,” she
said.
Later that same day Ms. Laswick was to
visit grades 7 and 8 students for a classroom
‘baseball’game designed to reinforce a lesson
on the three major causes of residential fires.
Grade 6 student Jamie Minaret, after a
week of learning about motor vehicle safety,
demonstrated he had retained some important
information. Jamie said he learned about
school bus safety, to stay out of the “danger
zone” around the vehicle, not to stand while
riding on a bus, and other safety precautions.
“I learned that a lot of people don’t buckle
up their kids safely in a car seat,” he added.
Jamie also knows he is still too young to sit
in the front seat of a vehicle — and why.
“Because of the air bag; it could kill me,”
he said.
Students write a multiple-choice test be-
fore the program begins to test their safety
knowledge, and write another when the pro-
gram is finished to determine how much Risk
Watch has helped. When the program wraps
up for the year later this fall, Ms. Laswick will
submit a school report to the Ontario fire mar-
shal’s office. It will include the pre- and post-
tests, any success stories, and a questionnaire
completed by both parents and teachers.
St. Marguerite received more than $5,000
in funding and training from the fire marshal’s
office. As part of the application requirements,
the coalition had to commit to raising at least
$5,000 annually for two years. Ms. Laswick
said service clubs, private individuals and oth-
ers already have or plan to commit money that
will cover program expenses and, with what-
ever funds are left, expand the program into
other Whitby schools.
While Risk Watch is important in its own
right, Ms. Liberty noted, “The reason we
chose this one is it does have some ties with
our curriculum.”
A look at the grades 3/4 Risk Watch pro-
gram, when matched to expectations in the
Grade 3 curriculum, reveals numerous links in
each of the eight modules. There are ties to
Education Ministry requirements in the areas
of health and physical education, language
and even the arts. The planning to bring Risk
Watch to St. Marguerite began in April, when
the coalition attended training at the Ontario
Fire College. The partners met throughout the
summer and the program was officially
launched in grand fashion last month with a
curriculum evening and barbecue.
Students had the opportunity to operate a
fire extinguisher, receive demonstrations in
the proper use of seat-belts and the operation
of bicycles. They also saw vehicles that had
been involved in collisions, reinforcing the
reason why safety prevention is so important.
While she doesn’t want to see her students
face any dangers, Ms. Roche said, “I would
like to hope that a few students in our school
will have the opportunity to show some of the
things they have learned over the next few
years.”

DURHAM —Durham’s pub-
lic school board has distributed a
new suspicious packages proce-
dure to school principals.
And next week, principals of
schools near the region’s nuclear
power plants will meet to review
an updated evacuation procedure.
Norm Powers, the Durham
District School Board’s opera-
tions superinten-
dent, said the list
of what a princi-
pal has to be
concerned about
has grown in the
last month.
“Now we’re
talking about
chemical haz-
ards, bomb
threats, nuclear
evacuation — all
these things are
high on our
minds since
Sept. 11,” he said
in an interview.
Mr. Powers
said the new
packages proce-
dure was not in
response to any
incidents at
schools, but was
a “proactive”
measure. With
rising fears both
in the U.S. and
in Canada about
mail contaminat-
ed with anthrax,
Mr. Powers said
“we knew this
question was
going to come
up.”
The proce-
dure is prefaced
with advice from
the Durham
Emergency Mea-
sures Office.
“A suspicious
package can be a
letter, bag, canis-
ter or box that
raises suspicion
that there may be
a maliciously
placed hazard
within,” it states.
Packages that
are leaking, have
an unusual odour, or come in a
lopsided or uneven envelope are
to be regarded as suspicious.
The procedure states the
placement of a package if found,
for example, adjacent to a venti-
lation system, should also be
cause for concern.
In response, staff members
should not handle the package
further and are instructed to evac-
uate and secure the immediate
area and call 911.
Anyone who may have been
exposed to the package “should
congregate in one safe area (to)
facilitate issues around briefing,
decontamination, medical assess-
ment, etc.,” it states.
As for updates to the nuclear
evacuation procedure, Wednes-
day’s “refresher” meeting is not
unusual in that such meetings
have taken place before, said Mr.
Powers, who also noted the pro-
cedure is updated every year.
The meeting will bring togeth-
er many new school principals,
though Mr. Powers conceded he
normally would have waited until
January or February. It is being
held next week in response to
current tensions.
The meeting is for principals
of schools within a 10-kilometre
radius of the nuclear generating
stations in Pickering and Claring-
ton. Affected schools are in Pick-
ering, Ajax and Oshawa.
Mr. Powers said he received
about 40 responses from interest-
ed administrators the first day
after telling them about the meet-
ing.
At Monday’s school board
meeting, he reviewed 17 existing
emergency, operational and per-
sonnel procedures for trustees.

Police continue investigation of MD
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —An exhaus-
tive police investigation into
allegations of criminal negli-
gence against a former local
gynecologist continues to
move forward, despite authori-
ties in his native Britain aban-
doning a similar probe.
Reports that North York-
shire Police have decided
against filing criminal charges
against Dr. Richard Neale,
who 16 years ago was stripped
of his medical licence in On-
tario, will have no bearing on
the final decision whether he
should be prosecuted here, a
Durham Regional Police
spokesman says.
Dr. Neale was banned last
year from practising medicine
in the U.K. after Britain’s
General Medical Council
found him guilty of 34 counts
of professional misconduct.
The hearings were told he left
a trail of medically maimed
patients resulting from
botched surgical procedures
over a decade.
Police in Yorkshire carried
out a two-year criminal inves-
tigation into the 55-year-old
physican’s practice, including
cases involving three deaths,
but reportedly decided this
week against laying charges
on the grounds there was no
realistic prospect for convic-
tion.
However, Durham Region
police Sergeant Paul Malik
said results of the British in-
vestigation will not have an
impact on the local force’s
own criminal probe, currently
being conducted by a detective
from the homicide squad.
“It really has no bearing on
our investigation,” he said.
Police here opened an in-
vestigation last year at the re-
quest of more than a dozen
former local patients who filed
individual reports alleging
they, or in one case a relative,
were the victims of criminal
negligence by Dr. Neale.
Among the complainants is
Kathy Tanner, whose 40-year-
old mother Geraldine Kraw-
chuk died in 1981 during
labour at Oshawa General
Hospital after being given an
overdose of a banned drug.
The circumstances of the
death of the mother of five —
the baby survived — are being
closely examined as part of the
Durham criminal investiga-
tion.

DURHAM —The bad
news is personal crime is on
the increase in Durham Re-
gion, but the good news is our
possessions are safer.
Those were just two of the
findings of the Durham Re-
gional Police Service’s semi-
annual statistics report pre-
sented to Durham council last
week.
At the same time, Police
Chief Kevin McAlpine
briefed councillors on a new
business plan being created
that will help the force target
and address specific areas of
concern. The plan, being
completed now, was created
with the input of elected offi-
cials, police officers and the
community.
The plan is “a matter of
fine-tuning (police services)
as opposed to doing policing
differently,” explained Os-
hawa Councillor Bob Boy-
chyn, the Durham Police Ser-
vices Board chairman. “Basic
policing has to be done in a
certain way but by fine-tun-
ing the focus”, identified
crime problems within the
community can be addressed.
While the population of
Durham has increased by 12
per cent in the last five years,
“crimes against persons”
have increased by 35 per cent
in the first six months of
2001, compared to the same
period in 1996. However,
crimes against persons are up
only marginally (1.2 per cent)
from the same time last year,
according to the board’s re-
port.
Crimes against property
have declined 13.7 per cent
since 1996 but increased by
just over four per cent since
last year.
Behind these statistics
were more specifics that ex-
plain where the numbers
come from, including an over
100-per cent increase in the
number of robberies in Ajax
and Pickering in the past
year, despite a decline in rob-
beries in other communities
such as Clarington, Oshawa
and north Durham. The Ajax-
Pickering numbers were
“largely attributable to street-
level muggings”.
And while offensive
weapon attacks have declined
since last year, the number of
incidents is still up 45.6 per
cent when compared to the
same time period five year
ago.
Chief McAlpine told
council one issue Durham
needs to address is rapid
growth, specifically as it af-
fects the region’s youth.
“The growth impacts on
the capacity of (community
groups) to service youth,” he
said, noting organizations
such as Scouts and recre-
ational sports are finding
their resources tapped. “The
message to council is: the
problem is community-
based. We need better utiliza-
tion of existing facilities.
From our point of view these
activities need to be there or
kids are going to be in the
parks causing problems and
drinking beer.”
The chief noted police
calls have increased by more
than eight per cent in the past
year, putting more demand
on manpower. However, the
increase is actually good
news, noted Chief McAlpine.
“It means citizens are pay-
ing attention,” he said. He en-
couraged residents to be
mindful of what is happening
in their neighbourhood and to
report any suspicious behav-
iour. He also encouraged
greater use of the Road
Watch system some munici-
palities have implemented.
The program allows people
to report poor driving behav-
iour through written reports,
which can later be followed
up by Road Watch commit-
tees and police.
Councillor Boychyn noted
traffic management seems to
be the “most important con-
cern” of many Durham resi-
dents. This is one example of
a problem that has been iden-
tified and can be addressed
through the business plan, he
suggested.
In researching the busi-
ness plan, more than 4,000
individuals and 50 communi-
ty organizations were con-
sulted, Chief McAlpine told
council. The final draft is ex-
pected in December.
The plan will be an effec-
tive way to help the public
understand the budget re-
quirements of the police ser-
vices, Coun. Boychyn said.

Transport Canada will preserve approximately
2,251 hectares (5,562 acres) of the Oak Ridges
Moraine located on the northern portion of the
federally owned Pickering Lands site. In
addition, Transport Canada will preserve
another 800 hectares (2,000 acres) along the
western boundary for the purpose of an alternate
Rouge Park Corridor.
Transport Canada’s Green Space Project Team
is exploring the future stewardship and manage-
ment of these lands and is seeking input from
a broad range of interested parties including
residents and community organizations.

Pickering youth centre loses its Edge
Eviction has directors
looking for new home before
it loses funding
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The old landlord says
they didn’t pay, the new landlord says he
didn’t know that, and as a result, a local
drop-in centre for teens has been left
homeless.
The Edge Youth Centre was locked out
of its home at the Liverpool South Plaza
Aug. 30, with the previous and present
landlords unable to agree on why they are
gone.
The centre opened its doors in February
2000 and ever since has been providing
various drop-in programs for youth ages
11 to 19.
Paul Pryce, director of the centre, said
more than 200 local youths have come
through its doors.
Mr. Pryce is concerned about finding a
new home and hopes the centre can contin-
ue to serve the local community.
He added he is afraid recent funding of
more than $10,000, including a grant from
the United Way, may not be around for
long.
“At this point we may be sending the
money back... organizations gave us the
money to do something and we’re not
doing it,” he said. “We’re looking for a
new space, but we need the community’s
support.”
John Wilkinson, executive director of
Youth Unlimited, the organization behind
the Edge Youth Centre, said the funds are
now on hold and if the centre can’t find a
new home by the end of October they may
have to return the money.
The former owner of the plaza, John
Hurlburt, said the centre could have stayed
in the plaza, if officials had signed his
offer earlier this year to lease the 3,300-
square-foot property at $1 per square foot
per year, plus common area maintenance
fees and realty taxes.
He said the centre was paying rent at the
$1 rate, but stopped in May when their
funding fell through.
Mr. Hurlburt and his lawyer said as a
part of the sale agreement for the property,
they were asked by the new owners to evict
the centre because they hadn’t been paying
rent.
“This tenant was in substantial arrears,
they had not paid the rent for many, many
months and the purchaser requested the
locks be changed by closing,” said Mr.
Hurlburt’s lawyer, Harry Wylde.
However, the plaza’s new owner, Jack
Dutsch, said he had no knowledge of a ten-
ant being in arrears or being evicted until
he sat down to close the deal.
“We never had any agreement (to re-
move the centre),” he said. “I only found
out at the last minute that there were no
tenants in that unit because they didn’t pay
the rent.”
Mr. Wilkinson said the centre had an
agreement with Mr. Hurlburt that due to
the uncertainty over funding, no rent
would be paid on the condition the centre
be given two weeks notice to vacate should
a new tenant be found.
“We had a verbal agreement that we
could stay, rent-free, paying only the utili-
ties,” he said.
“There was no obligation morally or
any other way for us to pay.”
Mr. Pryce confirmed the centre had not
paid rent since last May, but also thought
an agreement was in place with the land-
lord and that there would be an opportuni-
ty to negotiate with the plaza’s new own-
ers.
“We paid up until May, but not for June,
July, and August because we were not sure
where our funding would come from,” he
explained.
Paul Pryce, director of The Edge Youth Centre in Pickering, is looking for a new
place to call home after being evicted from a Liverpool Road plaza. A lack of
funding resulted in rent not being paid, and new owners have since taken over the
plaza.

Durham women hang experiences out for all to see
Victims of violence
contribute to YWCA’s
clothesline project
BY CRYSTAL CRIMI
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The battle to stop
violence against women and chil-
dren is being hung out for all to see
this week.
The YWCA of Oshawa, which
services all of Durham Region,
holds its ‘clothesline project’during
‘Week Without Violence’, which
began Sunday and runs until Friday,
Oct. 19 (today).
“The project involves women
painting T-shirts, decorating T-shirts
to reflect their feelings, their experi-
ences around violence in their
lives,” said Eva Martin-Blythe, ex-
ecutive director for the local
YWCA.
“It’s literally a clothesline with
T-shirts displayed on it that have
been made by women victims of vi-
olence and also child victims of vio-
lence.
“It’s a really visual display of
women’s emotions. In years past
we’ve displayed the clothesline in
the main hall in the Adelaide House
and men in particular are just kind
of awestruck and it brings out a
whole variety of emotions I think.”
The event kicked off Sunday at
Adelaide House with the unveiling
of the clothesline project and a can-
dlelight vigil.
The clothesline is moving around
to various schools and locations this
week as international YWCAs do
their part to stop violence in homes,
workplaces and communities.
Tomorrow (Thursday),Yuk Yuk’s
in Ajax hosts a comedy and silent
auction fund-raiser at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $15 each and must be
purchased in advance by calling the
YWCA at 905-576-8880.
Proceeds will help the YWCA’s
work with abused and at-risk
women.
Workshops in various schools
will occur Friday.
“Our volunteers and Durham
College students who are work-
ing with us on this project will
be working in the schools doing
dramatic presentations that
hopefully will evoke discussions
around issues like date rape, vio-
lence in dating, caring for one-
self, protecting oneself...” said
Mrs. Martin-Blythe.
Another way the local YWCA
will be teaching women how to
protect themselves is through a
free self-defence class, details
for which are still being
arranged.
Mrs. Martin-Blythe said too
many women and children are
abused in Durham, adding the
week isn’t just aimed at those
being abused, but for everyone.
“We as citizens need to be
aware of the issues, making sure
our friends, our family mem-
bers... if they are in a domestic
violence situation that they get
help and we do what we can as
citizens to try and stop it,” she

Check smoke
alarm batteries
PICKERING —Warning bells
are ringing for homes without smoke
alarms.
Local firefighters are reminding
residents that smoke alarms are the
best early warning system in the event
of fire. And with the end of daylight
saving time arriving Oct. 28, they’re
also reminding that the usual rounds
of turning back the clocks should in-
clude a check of smoke alarm batter-
ies.
Regular battery checks are essen-
tial in keeping alarms working proper-
ly, as is ensuring they are kept in dust-
free areas.
Alarms should be placed on each
level of the house, in or near bed-
rooms, in the centre of rooms and
hallways, and as needed to compen-
sate for closed doors and other obsta-
cles.
Alarms should not be placed in
high humidity or poorly ventilated
areas.

Police seek crash witnesses
DURHAM —Police are looking
for witnesses to an accident last month
that claimed the life of a 20-year-old
Courtice man.
Durham Regional Police say they
suspect racing may have played a role
in the Sept. 14 crash that killed Jamie
Barry of Cherry Blossom Crescent.
He died after his eastbound 1988
red Honda went out of control, crossed
the centre line, hit a parked car and
rolled into the bushes on Hwy. 2, east
of Solina Road, just after midnight. At
the time, police said speed contributed
to the collision.
Now, police believe two vehicles,
including Mr. Barry’s, were involved
in a race that may have begun at a
Hwy. 2 and Courtice Road plaza, says
the police traffic management unit.
The second vehicle police believe
may have been involved, which is
being described only as North Ameri-
can made, was gone by the time police
arrived.
Police are asking anyone with any
information on the crash to call 905-
579-1520, ext. 5227.

Staff will consider
options to improve
public access
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City
councillors are looking for
ways to make the council
process more accessible to
the public.
At Monday’s council
meeting, councillors directed
chief administrative officer
Tom Quinn and staff to pre-
pare a report for February
2002 outlining the feasibility
of several key initiatives.
“People would like to see
the process more accessible,”
said Ward 2 Regional Coun-
cillor Mark Holland while
outlining his request that
staff look into including an
information line for council
and committee agenda items
that quickly, clearly and sim-
ply explains what the issue is
and where it will be going
next.
Other requests include
giving options with respect
to increasing the circulation
of residents receiving notice
of development applications,
proper notice of implement-
ing zoning bylaws and any
additional measures that
would make council’s
process more transparent.
“I remember before I
joined council coming to the
meetings as a member of the
public and having a tough
time figuring out what each
item was,” said Coun. Hol-
land in an interview follow-
ing the meeting, adding
sometimes councillors
“don’t know what the agenda
is about”.
Mayor Wayne Arthurs,
while supporting the request,
was unsure the suggested
measures would improve the
process.
“The idea of the informa-
tion line is a good one, every
once in a while council has
one too,” he said. “However,
I am not sure increasing the
circulation radius of devel-
opment applications will
change the level of public in-
terest or public engagement.
If the issue is of interest, it
tends to get out there.”
The report is expected to
come before the committee
of the whole for it’s first
meeting in February 2002.

Durham works to raise awareness
in Falls Prevention Week
Events help area
residents recognize
dangers
DURHAM ––Falls pre-
vention week is being cele-
brated throughout Durham Re-
gion this week, Oct. 15 to 21.
The Durham Region Health
Department will raise public
awareness by planning events
where area citizens can learn
the potential risks falls pose
for seniors.
Prevention displays will be
at the Oshawa Senior Citizens
Centre, 43 John St. W.
throughout the week.
“Falls prevention is a major
public health concern in On-
tario,” explains Joan Segal, a
Durham public health nurse.
More than 550 of Durham’s
senior residents were hospi-
talised in 1999 due to a fall
that resulted in an injury, ac-
cording to the Ontario Min-
istry of Health and Long-Term
Care. The indirect and direct
costs of falls in Ontario add up
to $1.3 billion, according to
the Alder Group for the
Provincial Partners of Senior
Falls Campaign.
“Although women tend to
fall twice as often as men, men
are more likely to die as a re-
sult of a fall,” notes Ms. Segal,
who notes 60 per cent of falls
are the result of trips or slips.
Men slip more often while
women have a tendency to
trip,” she says.
Risk factors for falling in-
clude lack of physical activity,
social isolation, poor nutrition,
inappropriate footwear, poor
medication practices and rush-
ing about, says Ms. Segal.
To obtain more information
on tips to prevent falls, call
Durham Region Public Health
Nurse Barb Wilson Myers at
905-852-9161 or 1-800-361-
3268.

Lessons learned in
England could
apply here
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––As
Durham keeps its fingers
crossed that it could land a
multi-billion dollar fusion
research facility, Claring-
ton’s mayor has just returned
from a trip to the project’s
predecessor in Oxfordshire,
England.
Mayor John Mutton and
Chief Administrative Officer
Frank Wu returned late last
week from a six-day trip to
the communities surround-
ing the Joint European Torus
(JET) fusion project, the pre-
cursor to the proposed ITER
(International Thermonu-
clear Experimental Reactor)
facility. Canada has bid to
host the international re-
search facility, proposed to
begin construction in 2003,
that will take research com-
pleted at JET to the next
level and is hoped to be the
final research step before a
pilot fusion plant is built
about 30 years from now.
When built, ITER will be the
second-largest international
research collaboration, sec-
ond only to the international
space station.
“The public (in England)
is so supportive of alterna-
tive energy sources like fu-
sion,” says Mayor Mutton,
who adds much of that sup-
port can be attributed to the
“amount of effluent going
into the environment” from
coal-fired generating plants
as big as a city block. In fact,
he adds, almost everything
he heard about the JET pro-
gram was positive.
“I asked about communi-
ty safety concerns,” relates
the mayor. “There were
none.”
The fusion project, ex-
plains the mayor, is the focal
point of a larger technology
community, which has been
created around it and in-
cludes numerous spin-off,
high-tech companies.
“JET is the main focus of
the Cullum Science Centre
which employs about 2,000
people. It’s no question it’s
been a benefit to all high-
tech businesses there. Even
when JET is decommis-
sioned, it doesn’t mean all
these businesses will be
going away,” the mayor re-
lates. He notes that while the
actual research facility does
not pay property tax, all the
affiliated businesses do. “It
has great tax assessment and
economic spin-off,” he says.
The business implications
are not only for high-tech
companies and the munici-
palities, however, says the
mayor. Local contractors for
grass cutting, maintenance,
window washing as well as
local clerical workers and
support staff have all gained
employment from JET.
“It can have more local
content (of contractors) than
Ontario Power Generation
because the process doesn’t
have to be fortified in the
same way,” notes Mayor
Mutton. “Fusion is much
safer than fission. You’re not
dealing with the same kind
of materials. They are very
loyal to the local communi-
ty,” he says.
The estimated 250 fami-
lies that would immigrate to
Canada and likely reside in
the Durham area would also
bring a human resource ben-
efit with them, suggests the
mayor.
“There’s a really strong
feeling they want to become
part of the local community.
A lot of them are members
of local service clubs,” he
says noting the area where
JET is located just outside
Oxford is “very similar in
population and size to Clar-
ington.
“They can get the same
kind of lifestyle here as they
do in JET,” he says, noting
when he pulled workers
aside, overwhelmingly they
told him Canada is their des-
tination of choice for the
ITER project. In addition to
Canada, Japan and France
are expected to bid to host
the project.
To date, the Ontario gov-
ernment has committed
$300 million over a 30-year
period to the project in addi-
tion to the provision of land
and tritium required for the
research facility to be donat-
ed through Ontario Power
Generation. Canada’s private
sector has also committed
millions of dollars in fund-
ing for the project should it
come to Canada, but much
of ITER’s costs would be fi-
nanced by the international
partners such as the Euro-
pean Union and Japan.
There were some lessons
learned at JET that Durham
should keep in mind if Cana-
da should win the bid, says
Mayor Mutton.
One is the need for ac-
commodation for the ongo-
ing influx of visiting scien-
tists who will not reside here
but will visit for various as-
pects of the project on a reg-
ular basis, says the mayor,
who notes Clarington could
expect up to 200 business
visitors to the facility at any
given time.
The decision of where
ITER will be sited is expect-
ed to be announced by June
2002.

Following are the new movie releases
being screened at local cinemas this week-
end:
FROM HELL
Starring Johnny Depp, Heather Graham,
Ian Holm, Robbie Coltrane, Susan
Lynch.
Directed by Albert Hughes, Allen Hugh-
es.
Scotland Yard Inspector Frank Abber-
line’s new assignment is to investigate the
brutal ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders in the
Whitechapel district of London. Virtually
driven to madness during his hunt, he un-
covers a conspiracy involving the govern-
ment, a string of prostitutes and blackmail
that could lead straight to the Royal Palace.
(Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Fa-
mous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas -
Pickering Town Centre).
RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS
Starring Drew Barrymore, Vincent Pas-
tore, Adam Garcia, Mika Boorem, Brit-
tany Murphy.
Directed by Penny Marshall.
After failing to get into college, Bev
Donofrio (Barrymore) loses interest in
everything but riding around town in cars
drinking, smoking, and rebelling against au-
thority.
After becoming pregnant, marrying, then
divorcing, she must cope with being a
teenage single parent.
She finally ends up at an elite New Eng-
land university where she tries to reach a
balance between her mistakes and her goals.
(Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Fa-
mous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas -
Pickering Town Centre).
THE LAST CASTLE
Starring Robert Redford, James Gan-
dolfini, Sam Ball, Frank Fox, Steve Bur-
ton.
Directed by Rod Lurie.
The Castle is an unlikely last stop in the
brilliant career of three-star General Irwin.
Court-martialled and stripped of his
rank, Irwin has been sentenced to the maxi-
mum-security military prison, which is run
with an iron fist by its warden, Colonel
Winter. Winter can’t help but respect the
once-legendary general, but it isn’t long be-
fore that respect turns to resentment and
then open hostility as Irwin continually con-
fronts the warden on his methods.
Setting out to break Irwin by whatever
means necessary, the colonel’s tactics only
fuel Irwin’s defiance and cause the other
prisoners to rally behind the general in his
new mission: to seize control of the prison
and remove Winter from his command.
The men imprisoned in The Castle have
been told they are no longer soldiers... but
they are about to prove they can still fight a
war.
(Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas, Fa-
mous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas -
Pickering Town Centre).

Staff Editor
AJAX —Frances Stecyk
has her plate full to overflow-
ing with her current role at
the Herongate Barn Dinner
Theatre in Pickering — and
she couldn’t be happier.
Starring in the theatre’s
current musical production,
‘The Pinchpenny Phantom of
the Opera’, the energetic
Ajax resident plays seven,
that’s right, seven roles in this
farcical stage offering of a
down-on-its-luck opera
house with its own phantom
who excises (read murders)
each of the house’s seven
divas — all played to the hilt
by Stecyk.
Suffice it to say,Pinchpen-
ny represents the up-and-
coming singer/actress’s
toughest role to date.
“It is the most complicat-
ed role I’ve ever done,” ex-
plained Stecyk, appearing in
her third Herongate produc-
tion. “When I first started
learning the music it was a
little bit unnerving. It’s a take
off on opera, so I worked on
that and then I had to work on
the different roles. I had to
find differences in character
traits: the tone of voice, the
attitude, the physicality.”
Although the role is chal-
lenging, the play is nonethe-
less a source of fun for her
and the other cast members,
noted Stecyk. She said work-
ing with co-star, Jeffrey
Coulter, of Oshawa, who
plays Gaston, the owner and
star tenor at the opera house,
has been “marvellous.
“His character and his fa-
cial expressions are so amaz-
ing. You give him something
and he’ll take it and run with
it,” said Ms. Stecyk, who also
shares the stage with Don
Green, of Pickering, who
plays the role of Bubby, and
Whitby’s Bethany Gillian,
18, a high school student
who’s making her first ap-
pearance on the Herongate
stage. Herongate itself is also
a fun and challenging place
for actors, said Ms. Stecyk, as
director Ann Ward routinely
adds newcomers to the mix
for each production.
“She likes to give opportu-
nities to new talent. She gets
established actors and a few
new people and everyone
works together to make it
come alive,” said Ms. Stecyk.
Live theatre has been a
constant for the mother of
two since auditioning for the
Pickering West Hill Musical
Theatre’s ‘Cabaret’ in 1996.
Her first role was with that
troupe’s production of ‘Any-
thing Goes’. She also per-
formed in productions with
the Scarborough Choral Soci-
ety, Scarborough Music The-
atre and the Pickering Players
theatre troupe before landing
her first professional role in
‘Sinners’ at Whitby’s Touch
of Class Dinner Theatre in
1999. That year, she made
her Herongate debut in ‘Boe-
ing Boeing’, playing a U.S.
stewardess. Her other Heron-
gate role was the lead of Na-
talie in the comedy ‘Natalie
Needs a Nightie’ that ran at
the dinner theatre last Febru-
ary.
“I got the bug and I
haven’t stopped,” said Ms.
Stecyk of live theatre. “It re-
ally keeps you on your toes.
It’s fun working with good
actors. You just keep playing
off each other.”
Keeping busy is second
nature to Ms. Stecyk. In addi-
tion to running a home-based
business, she has also found
time to audition for other act-
ing parts. Most notable are
two long-running television
commercials for radio station
CHFI-FM, where she inter-
acts with morning radio dee-
jays Bob and Erin. She has
also served as the musical di-
rector for two theatrical pro-
ductions at her daughter
Christina’s previous school,
St. James Catholic School in
Ajax.
Pinchpenny started a nine-
week run Sept. 7. After the
play’s end Nov. 3, Ms. Stecyk
will move on to her next pro-
ject — a breakthrough pro-
fessional role in live theatre.
She’ll be part of the 16-voice
ghostly chorus in the new
Canadian musical ‘The
Dance of the Dead’for Cana-
dian Stage Theatre at Toron-
to’s Berkley Street Theatre.
“It’s amazing. I’m really
excited about it,” enthused
Ms. Stecyk. “It’s my first
union Equity (the Canadian
actors’ guild) project, a new
level for me. I started out in
community theatre and now
I’m going to downtown
Toronto.”

A moment to ponder
PICKERING –– It was U.S.A. Day at Sir John A.
Macdonald Public School last Friday and students
put their thinking caps on to write personal notes,
create red, white and blue pieces of artwork and
donate money to victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist at-
tacks. Students like Owen Simpson helped the
school raise $708 for the cause. School officials are
asking other schools to match their fund-raising ef-
forts.

AJAX —Fuel-burning
appliances used to keep you
warm this fall and winter
could be hazardous to your
health.
With that in mind, Ajax
fire and emergency services
is reminding local residents
once again of the dangers of
carbon monoxide (CO).
Carbon monoxide in high
quantities over a short period
of time or even in small
quantities over a long period
of time can be fatal. Symp-
toms of carbon monoxide
poisoning include
headaches, nausea, dizzi-
ness, burning eyes, confu-
sion, drowsiness and a loss
of consciousness.
“Preventing CO from be-
coming a problem is better
than relying on a carbon
monoxide detector to protect
you and your loved ones,”
said Thom Evered, fire pre-
vention officer with Ajax fire
and emergency services.
Among potential danger
areas are: fuel-burning appli-
ances, venting systems, and
chimneys that have not been
serviced and maintained reg-
ularly by a qualified service
technician; a blocked chim-
ney; improper venting of a
furnace or a cracked furnace
heat exchanger; exhaust
fumes that leak into the
house from a running vehi-
cle in an attached garage;
using fuel-burning appli-
ances designed for outdoor
use in an enclosed area; and
combustion gases spilling
into a home if too much air is
being consumed by a fire-
place. Mr. Evered also re-
minds annual inspections of
chimneys, flues and flue
pipes are required under the
Ontario Fire Code.
For more information,
call Mr. Evered at 905-683-
7791.

Minor atoms down London
2-1 to capture tourney title
DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Raiders
Cousins Packaging/The Office Furniture Store

don to capture the consolation title at a Thanks-
giving weekend tournament in Markham.

Brawley drew assists.
The Raiders were hoping for a repeat of last

same tourney. A 4-1 loss to the Cambridge
Hawks in the tourney opener, however, demoted
the local atoms to the consolation round.
Cousins netted the lone goal, assisted by Kirk
and Callum Lynch.
The Raiders rebounded with a strong effort
against St. Catharines, winning 4-2.
Evan Haga scored twice and Purcell and An-
dreoff added one apiece. Brawley recorded two

twice, with Purcell adding the other. Marconato,

PICKERING —The
Pickering Boyer Pontiac
Panthers and the Ajax Axe-
men renew their junior
hockey rivalry on the ice
here tonight (Friday).
The neighbouring OHA
Ontario Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League South Conference
teams will meet for the
third time this season. The
Axemen won a matchup in
Pickering Sept. 12 3-0,
while the Panthers turned
the tables in Ajax Sept. 23,
winning 5-2.
There’s a little more at
stake in this game as Ajax
(4-8-1-1) and Pickering (4-
6-1-1) are currently tied for
fifth in the South Confer-
ence standings with 10
points apiece.
Both teams appear to be
headed in opposite direc-
tions of late. The Panthers
have lost their past two
games, while the Axemen
are 1-0-1 against strong op-
position, including a 5-3
victory over the Wexford
Raiders in Toronto Tuesday
night.
Game time at the Pick-
ering Recreation Complex
is 7:30 p.m.
The Panthers travel to
Thornhill Saturday night to
play the Rattlers at 7:30
p.m. On Sunday, the Pan-
thers are in Toronto to play
Wexford at 7 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Axemen
host the Markham Waxers

PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers
Sheridan Dental minor peewee ‘AA’rep hock-
ey team opened the 2001/02 league season
with a solid string of four consecutive wins.
The Panthers latest win came over a deter-
mined Ajax Knights club, 5-3, in the second
half of a home-and-home series. Kevin Preb-
ble was spectacular in goal, holding off the
Knights as they attempted a third-period
comeback. Kyle Ramsay scored twice, while
Ryan Lamanna, Shawn Watson and John Pa-
terson added the others. Travis Hendry count-
ed three assists, Watson had two, and Mathew
Kavanagh, Chris Paul and Craig Watters
added one apiece.
Pickering topped Ajax 7-1 in the first meet-
ing. Goaltender James Balsdon was outstand-
ing, losing his shutout bid in the last minute of
the game. Ramsay led the way with a hat
trick, with Watson adding two goals and Pa-
terson and Paul contributing singles. Assists
went to Watson with three, Kavanagh and
Lamanna with two each, and Ian Doherty,
Matthew Miller, Paul, Brandon Racicot,
Hendry, Ramsay and Paterson.
The peewees dumped the Georgina Blaze
5-2 for their second win of the season. Preb-
ble was solid in net and Racicot led the way
with two goals. Michael Hurl and Nicholas
Johnston added singles. The other goal scorer
wasn’t reported. Assists went to Hendry with
three, Lamanna with two, and Watters, Adam
Morra, Michael Mayne, Hurl and Watson.
The Panthers started the season with a 3-2
nail-biter victory over Georgina. Balsdon was
stellar in goal, holding off a last-minute rush.
Leading the way were Ramsay with two goals
and an assist, Kavanagh with a goal and two
assists, Watson with two assists, and Paul had
one assist.
The Panthers are back on the ice next week
with games against Barrie, Markham, and
Richmond Hill.

AJAX —East Side Mario’s used its
height and solid defensive play to post a
37-29 win over the Bank of Montreal in
Ajax Ladies’ Basketball League play
Wednesday night.
Mario’s scored most of its points close
to the basket, while the bankers used accu-
rate outside shooting to put up points. East
Side’s solid defensive work translated into
fast-break points to gain the lead, and al-
though the bankers attempted to keep
pace, Mario’s hung on for the victory.
Krystal Green led the way for East Side
with 13 points and Kelly Morrison replied
with 12 for the bankers.
In the second game, Select Food Prod-
ucts earned a 39-31 victory over Et Tu
Caesar’s. Joanne Reardon netted 11 points
for Select and Lori Lomberg registered
eight for Caesar’s.

The smoke-free car campaign kicked
off last Thursday at Gus Brown Pontiac
Buick in Whitby with the Durham Re-
gion Health Department providing
‘smoke-free for me and my kids’ pack-
ages. The kits contain information about
second-hand smoke and making a vehi-
cle smoke-free.
“Protection from second-hand smoke
is as important as protection from auto-
mobile accidents,” said Dr. Robert Kyle,
commissioner and medical officer of
health at the health department. “It’s
along the spectrum of something we can
do to protect our kids.
“We’re encouraging people to take
action and build toward their families’
health. There’s no safe level of second-
hand smoke.”
As part of the campaign, every Gus
Brown Pontiac Buick vehicle will con-
tain a smoke-free package with a sticker
to declare the vehicle a non-smoking en-
vironment.
Exposure to second-hand smoke can
have various affects on children, includ-
ing sudden infant death syndrome, low
birth weight, pneumonia, bronchitis, and
ear infections. It also puts children at
higher risk for developing or having
more frequent and severe asthma at-
tacks.
According to a 2001 health depart-
ment survey, one third of adult residents
smoke in their cars. Second-hand smoke
has more than 4,000 chemicals, which
are more harmful than inhaling directly.
“We know people make decisions for
their children before they make them for
themselves and we wanted to highlight
that,” said Brian Dallaway, public health
nurse with the department. “We want to
raise awareness of second-hand smoke
and its dangers so people can decide
what areas of their life they want to
make smoke-free.”
He added the Region is hoping other
motorists will see the smoke-free stick-
ers on vehicles and change their minds
about smoking in the car.
Brooklin resident Sharon Reardon
wouldn’t dare let anyone smoke in a car
with her two-year-old twin boys.
“It would be like not putting their
seat-belt on or feeding them junk food
every day,” she said. “People think
rolling down the window makes it OK
(to smoke in the car) but it’s not because
it usually just blows into the backseat —
it’s almost worse to smoke in the car be-
cause it’s so contained.”
For more information on the smoke-
free homes and cars initiatives, call the
health department at 905-723-8521 or 1-
800-841-2729 ext. 2125.

gion.durham.on.ca.
A Durham car dealership and the region’s health department joined
forces last week to promote smoke-free cars. As part of the campaign, kits
will be made available to car purchasers with information on the dangers
of second-hand smoke. Here, Jeffery Reardon takes part in the kickoff.

DURHAM —A Black-
stock woman, accused with
her husband of locking their
two adopted sons in
makeshift cages for long
periods, faces new charges
for allegedly also confining
the couple’s five-year-old
granddaughter.
The bizarre case of sus-
pected child abuse, which
includes allegations the
teenaged boys were forced
to wear diapers, caged in
enclosed baby cribs for
hours at a time over years,
physically abused and un-
derfed, was uncovered by
Durham Regional Police
and the Durham Children’s
Aid Society in July.
The boys, ages 14 and
15, were seized by authori-
ties and placed in foster
care. The parents, a 40-
year-old woman and 49-
year-old man, who cannot
be named by court order,
were charged with forcible
confinement, fail to provide
the necessaries of life, as-
sault, assault with a weapon
and aggravated assault.
The mother was also
charged with administering
a noxious substance, and a
28-year-old Port Perry man
described as an extended
family member was
charged with assault with a
weapon and confinement of
the teens.
As a result of the contin-
uing investigation, police
have now filed two addi-
tional charges of assault
with a weapon — a shoe-
horn — and forcible con-
finement against the
woman in relation to her
granddaughter.
“During the investiga-
tion we received informa-
tion that during visits to her
grandmother’s place the girl
was treated in a fashion
similar to the boys,” said
Acting Detective Sergeant
Paul Nadeau of the sex-as-
sault-child abuse unit.
It’s alleged during visits
over the past year she was
confined to one of the baby
cribs converted to
“makeshift cages” and used
for the boys, he said.
The three accused are
due back in court Nov. 7.

10 REASONS TO LAUNCH AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
1. CREATE AWARENESS
It’s absolutely essential in today’s volatile marketplace.
2. BUILD BRAND PREFERENCE
Low brand preference equals small margins.
3. KEEP CUSTOMERS SOLD
Guess who your competitor’s best prospects are?
4. CREATE IMAGE
A positive one, that is.
5. BE NUMBER ONE ON YOUR PROSPECT’S
NUMBER TWO LIST
That way you’re the first one to be called when they
change suppliers.
6. CHANGE IMAGE
Before it’s too late.
7. BE MORE VISIBLE THAN COMPETITORS
If your competitors have cut back on
advertising...opportunity knocks.
8. INTIMIDATE COMPETITION
Sounds fair to us.
9. INCREASE MARKET SHARE
Without having to buy it.
10.ANNOUNCE CHANGES
Or you could let the rumor mill do it for you.
