BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A 19-year-old mother of two was kidnapped from her Oshawa townhouse and subjected to cruel, relentless beatings before being found 10 days later in Montreal hotel room closet covered in cuts and bruises, a jury has been told. When Montreal Urban Community Police stormed the downtown hotel May 13, 2000, officers discovered Danielle Bongard crouched in a closet with her head shaved, Detective Sergeant Jeffrey Stern testified. Her ex-boyfriend, Dwayne Kevin George, 21 of Pickering, was sitting on the bed in front of the televi- sion and was arrested, the Montreal officer said. Mr. George, formerly of Geta Circle, is on trial charged with kidnapping, unlawful confinement, threatening death, break and enter, assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon and unlawful pos- session of a weapon. Two of his associates are also on trial for alleged roles in the case. Jason Harriott Brown-Campbell, 19, of Scarborough, is charged with kidnapping, break and enter, assault and weapons offences, while Jerome Jefferson Brown, 20, of Scarborough, faces one count of assault causing bodily harm. All three have pleaded not guilty and are being tried by a jury in Superior Court in Whitby in front of Madame Justice Myrna Lack. In his opening address Wednesday, Crown Attor- ney John Scott alleged Ms. Bongard was taken from her Linden Court home May 3, 2000 by Mr. George and Mr. Brown-Campbell and subjected to relentless assaults. Mr. Scott said a day prior to the alleged kidnapping Mr. George and Ms. Bongard got into an argument at her residence and he held her head in the shower under hot water, causing the skin on her scalp to peel.

Not all grades 3 and 6 test results recorded in Durham BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The Province’s student testing body says grades 3 and 6 test results at some Durham schools will change significantly and that the contractor that tallied the marks will not be doing the work again. Nadia Temple, the Education Quality and Accountability Of- fice’s (EQAO) director of external relations, in an interview said the arm’s-length agency of the provin- cial government estimates that roughly eight per cent of both the BLACK DOG PUB (416) 286-4544 www.blackdogpub.com 180 0 FINE RESTAURANT (416) 281-2180 www.180finedining.com CATERING FOR ALL OCCASIONS local Grade 3 and Grade 6 student results were not recorded. Ms. Temple defended the accura- cy of the overall board results, re- leased by EQAO on Nov. 6, and the individual student reports already re- leased to schools. But she said EQAO expects changes in school results when missing data is lo- cated and added to existing num- bers. “The impact is huge at the school level because par- ents are waiting for the results and schools are wait- ing for the re- sults,” said Ms. Temple. She said EQAO has “been playing catch-up” ever since errors were first found in student data at the end of August. Ms. Temple ex- plained the optical scanning technol- ogy used by EQAO’s contrac- tor did not record multiple-choice answer sheets in some cases. “The impor- tance around the student answer sheet is we gener- ate the overall score for a student based on the mul- tiple choice,” she said. Ms. Temple said if the answer sheet was not recorded, an over- all score was not captured, “essen- tially telling the (computer) pro- gram the student had not participat- ed”. In what she de- scribed as “a very labour-intensive process”, EQAO stopped relying on the optical scanners and in- stead opted for the manual input of data. Ms. Temple did not have an es- timate on when the new numbers would be posted on the EQAO Web site. “We do under- stand the difficul- ty that has been created in schools,” she said. The Durham Catholic District School Board publicly released its results about two weeks ago. Gerry Blake, ele- mentary programs superintendent, said the board has no regrets about releasing the numbers earlier than many boards. “We just felt that in the interests of transparency we would release it,” he said. But, the results were released with an asterisk. Education director Grant Andrews at the Nov. 12 board meeting said there were inconsisten- cies in the data and he expected the numbers to change. Mr. Blake said it’s been frustrat- ing trying to access the EQAO Web site to obtain results and dealing with incomplete data. He noted that EQAO released no school data for St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School in Oshawa. The Durham District School Board, meanwhile, plans to release its school data at its Dec. 3 standing committee meeting.

Jim Flaherty, Whitby-Ajax MPP, fi- nance minister and deputy premier, today (Friday) will officially launch his campaign to succeed Premier Mike Har- ris as leader of the provin- cial Tories. “I do have a vision for the province and I hope it meets with acceptance — so I know what I want to do,” he said in an interview shortly before the an- nouncement that will take place at Whitby’s Iroquois Park Sports Centre. Unlike other leadership hopefuls, including former finance minister Ernie Eves and current Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer, who have advocated the party needs a kinder, gentler and more conciliatory ap- proach than in the past six years, Mr. Flaherty is staying the course. “We have to be committed to eco- nomic growth, be fiscally conservative and stay the course,” he said, adding while he’s known for keeping a firm grip on the purse strings, he’s also electable. His vision includes an Ontario with the highest standard of living in the world, where young people are trained in post-secondary facilities for jobs in demand by the province’s economy. En- suring people are trained in the required careers will ensure a strong economy and “allow us to fund health care and education at a high- er level,” he said. “Ontario can become one of the strongest economies in the world. We can easily become the best in the world if we make the right choic- es. We have a brilliant future in Ontario, if we choose to have a brilliant future.” When Ontario’s Conserv- atives head to the polls next year to select a leader they could have as many as five candidate to choose from. Mr. Eves, who is return- ing to politics after retiring in February, is widely held to be the front-runner with several cabi- net ministers, including Janet Ecker, ed- ucation minister and Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MPP, standing behind him. But Mr. Flaherty said he’s not worry- ing about having his record compared to Mr. Eves during the leadership race. “It is a litmus test for a government to live through an economic slowdown and help shepherd the province through the slowdown,” he said, adding voters should judge him on how well he navi- gates the crisis. Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Flaherty admitted, “it will be an uphill battle” but not one he’s afraid to wage. “I’m a fighter. I played a lot of hock- ey and I am not a big person. You learn to hold your own.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 23, 2001 PAGE 3 P Durham MPP joins Tory leadership race JIM FLAHERTY ‘I have a vision for the province...’ Ladies’ or Men’s TWO 2 PC SUITS Excluded silk, pleats, dresses, leather or suede 235 BAYLY ST.

The next day, Ms. Bongard was in a playground behind her residence with her daughters, aged two and three, and two friends around supper hour. She went back into the home briefly and was confronted by Mr. George and Mr. Brown-Campbell, who popped out of a cupboard, Mr. Scott said. Mr. George kicked Ms. Bongard in the head twice, pulled the ring out of her pierced left eyebrow, causing her to bleed, and took her to the bathroom where her head was shaved and the hair placed in a bag, Mr. Scott said. As Ms. Bongard was being led out- side to a van, he said her two-year-old daughter entered the residence and was told, “Mommy will be going away.” Once in the van, driven by Mr. Brown-Campbell, Mr. George ques- tioned Ms. Bongard about “who she had been sleeping with while he was away” and struck her numerous times about the head, ribs and back, Mr. Scott said. The Crown said during a subse- quent forensic examination police found Ms. Bongard’s blood in the van, owned by Mr. Brown-Campbell’s fa- ther. Later in the van, after a stop at his home, Mr. George ran a butcher knife down Ms. Bongard’s cheek and put the blade in her mouth, Mr. Scott said. Court was told Mr. George and Ms. Bongard were dropped off in a wooded area in Scarborough where he punched and kicked her repeatedly. At one point, Ms. Bongard indicat- ed she was losing consciousness and he hit her again, knocking her into a stream where she passed out, Mr. Scott said. When she regained consciousness, Mr. George was accompanied by two other men, one wearing a bandana over his face. The men continued beating Ms. Bongard under directions from Mr. George, Mr. Scott told the jury. “She is again struck repeatedly in various parts of her person... She is struck with large rocks... She is struck with sticks,” the prosecutor said. Over the next few days Ms. Bon- gard was taken to various motels in Scarborough and eventually driven to Montreal by Mr. George in a car he rented. Court heard the day after she went missing, Ms. Bongard phoned her mother and the call was traced back to Mr. Brown-Campbell’s residence. On May 13, Montreal police re- ceived a tip from a bank that Mr. George’s credit card was used to check into the Montreal hotel, court was told. Det. Sgt. Stern testified when Ms. Bon- gard was found she had a black eye, a scab above her eyebrow and her face and body were “heavily bruised”. Jurors were shown photographs, taken at the hospital, of her face, head, arms, wrists and legs with extensive red marks, swelling, cuts and bruising.

We all talk about why children are failing reading tests, and wonder why we cannot solve this problem in such an affluent coun- try. Well, some of us got together in Picker- ing in September,1992 and started a reading circle. We have a mentoring program and read on a buddy system with the same child every Saturday morning for an hour. These children are doing better in school and read for pleasure. In addition, many high school students find it rewarding to work with one child at a time, and it also counts as community ser- vice. Our volunteers come from all ethnic and age groups, and represent a microcosm of this community. Now, is there someone who will start a math circle? Clearly, there is a need, as many of our students could use additional help. As the pressures on families increase, parents are less and less able to cope. Those who can spare an hour or two per week should now come forward and help our chil- dren do better.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 23, 2001 The saying goes ‘a change is as good as a rest.’ I’ve done both. Al- though I prefer the change, I wel- come the rest. We decided to change our ad- dress. We wanted to make our house more attractive to prospective buyers. Our real estate agent, Diane, suggest- ed changing the kitchen floor and doing some painting. “But no more than $3,000!” she said, with a smile. We de-junked. We packed 30 boxes of ‘crap’ from the single-car garage that hadn’t stored our single car in over a year. We took all the pic- tures off the walls, packed up the col- lectibles and mementos, and went at it. A janitorial company not only cleaned all 900 square feet of carpet, but also washed the windows and sills, stripped wallpaper (that’s an- other story), and even painted the stairway walls. We hired our friends to paint all the rooms, but the kitchen, a light shade of silver to off- set the grey carpet. We went slightly over budget and replaced the carpet in two rooms and put new vinyl in the bathrooms, hall and kitchen. Was it worth it? A resounding yes! It looked like a model home. The house was ready to show on a Tuesday. Two couples came through. One couple returned the next night. By Friday, we had an offer to pur- chase and it was a done deal by Mon- day. No long drawn out agony, no massive open house, no wondering for weeks or months if anyone want- ed our house. I didn’t have to nag the kids about picking up and I didn’t have to be on guard for messes and handprints on the wall. It was fresh and clean and ready for the next fam- ily to make memories. Ready for a change. And so was I. I was also ex- hausted. Soon it was time to pack up and move to our new house. It’s three years younger, has one extra bed- room and more floor space. Boxes are littering the basement and the double-car garage (that has- n’t housed our single car, yet, either). One of the moving men chuckled as he carried in a box. It was labelled ‘More crap’. Now it’s time to unpack, write thank-you notes, get the kids to and from the bus stop more than two kilo- metres away and meet the neigh- bours. I’m grateful to the Welcome Wagon lady who dropped by on a Sunday evening to welcome us to the community. She introduced us to local merchants and businesses and left us her name and phone number for if we have any questions. I’ll take a while to settle in, but I’m looking forward to even more changes.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Rest assured – change is always welcome But boy, it sure can cost a lot of money and leave you in desperate need of a break When thousands of Progressive Conservative party members decide who will be our next premier, they’ll face a choice that will pit front-runner Ernie Eves against a handful of challengers. They’ll be asked to select the man or woman they feel will carry on the principles established in the Common Sense Revo- lution, the person they believe can go to the voters with a winnable platform in an election expected in 2003. Those delegates will have to decide who presents the best combination of talents to voters faced with a choice between Dalton McGuinty and his Liberal candidates and the new pre- mier and his Tory team. When those Conservative members make their call for their new leader and our new premier, we’re hoping they pick Whit- by-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty. Mr. Flaherty, a well-respected local lawyer, has long been a part of the Conservative team. He ran and lost in Durham Cen- tre in 1990 but came back to win easily in 1995, followed by re- election in 1999. Over his six years in office, Mr. Flaherty has continued to move up in the cabinet ranks. He has served as minister of labour, as solicitor general and minister of correctional services, as attorney general and minister responsible for native affairs. But it was his move early this year to the second most im- portant position in cabinet as minister of finance and deputy pre- mier that set Mr. Flaherty above the other contenders in the race to succeed outgoing Premier Mike Harris. The 51-year-old minister has a proven record of accomplish- ment in government and has the knowledge and experience nec- essary to take Ontario to the next level. Mr. Eves, while well-respected and with experience that in- cludes 20 years in the legislature before his retirement this past February, must be questioned about his motives. The former fi- nance minister made it clear he was tired of serving in govern- ment when he stepped down less than 12 months ago. Can On- tarians count on him to stick with the job through the tough choices a premier is forced to confront? Mr. Eves had an easy five-year ride in the finance chair as the economy grew in the Western world at astronomical levels. It was easy for the Parry Sound representative to sit back and take the credit. In a post-Sept. 11 world, where layoffs are the norm and not the exception, will Mr. Eves have what it takes? Dele- gates must ask this vital question. Mr. Flaherty is the best of a strong field and we hope when the final ballot has been cast he is left standing as our next pre- mier.

The Durham District School Board’s education director was responding to a question by Uxbridge resident John Carroll at Monday’s school board meeting in Whitby. Twenty of 22 questions during public question period dealt with the board’s plan, a three-year schedule of capital projects to take effect in January. The draft plan includes a new high school in Whitby, a substantial addition to Uxbridge Secondary School (USS) and seven school closures. Residents are pressing trustees to approve the draft plan, to change it, to keep their schools open and, in some cases, to shut facilities. The pressure is clearly on, and some speakers suggested trustees must bite the bullet and close schools. Mr. Carroll was one of several Uxbridge residents at the meet- ing. He asked what contingency plan the board has in place to deal with overcrowding at USS if the plan is not approved because of what he sees as trustees’ “unwill- ingness to make tough deci- sions”. Asked by Mr. Carroll if he was aware there is only room for one more portable at USS, Mr. Yeo replied, “I am.” Jane Ling and other Brooklin parents have lobbied for the pro- posed new Whitby high school. She asked if high growth areas like Brooklin, also hoping for an- other elementary school in the near future, would have to wait if trustees do not close the seven schools on the draft plan list. Mr. Yeo agreed the board would receive less provincial money and that such projects would have to be put on the back burner. Anne Clements, chairman of the Kathleen R. Rowe Public School community council, said a number of schools in downtown Whitby are targeted for closure and improvements in the near fu- ture. She asked if the board had considered looking at the schools as a group to come up with a so- lution that would allow for capital funding to remain there, possibly for use in years four and five of the plan, in “a broad-based solu- tion” for downtown Whitby. Jack Massie, the board’s facil- ities superintendent, replied the board’s proposed plan prioritizes needs, matches the budget and the situation at schools, and will be reviewed again for years four and five. “We’ve been hearing that same comment now for eight years,” replied Ms. Clements. Several R.A. Hutchison Public School parents attended the meet- ing. The Whitby elementary school is on the closure list, and parents fear their children will be in dan- ger if they have to cross busy roads to attend Leslie McFarlane Public School. Parent Scott Templeton told trustees the board would be “putting (pupils’) lives at risk every day” if they have to cross the Garden Street/Hwy. 2 inter- section. “The planning department is looking at issues of safety at Gar- den and Hwy. 2,” replied Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy. Answering another question, business superintendent Ron Tr- bovich said the provincial fund- ing formula, based on student en- rolment, is not beneficial to schools with low student num- bers. “The funding formula moves the board in the direction of, frankly, eliminating small schools,” he said.

Although he says “every little bit helps,” when it comes to giving recognition to doctors on call, Dr. Tony Stone, president of the medical staff at Lakeridge Health, pointed out the $1 million was actually “old money from a contract agreed upon 18 months ago.” The minister explained the cash injection was the first time his gov- ernment has directly funded this kind of coverage for on-call doctors pro- viding hospital services. “The goal of the program is to distribute available funds to doctors in a fair manner,” said Mr. Clement. “It’s an incentive for doctors to work the extra hours. “I am also working with Uxbridge and Port Perry on a similar funding announcement in the near future,” said Mr. Clement to a crowded room in Bowmanville hospital, full of hos- pital administrators and representa- tives of auxiliaries and foundations. One of the health care issues iden- tified by Opposition leader Dalton McGuinty has been to establish 24-7 (24 hours-seven days-a-week) health care availability in Ontario. “Our doctors have been very helpful in im- plementing a 24-7 system,” stated Mr. Clement. “Travel and wait times will be less of an issue.” Mr. Clement told reporters follow- ing the brief announcement the ex- tended hours - 24-7 - “is a sweetener to the pot and includes all types of physicians, GPs, specialists. The funding is for all on-call physicians. Before, hospitals used to have to take matters into their own hands.” Last month, Lakeridge Health Corporation announced layoffs and service cuts to help reduce 2001- 2002 budget deficits. It was also forced to draw on cash reserves of $7 million, leaving no re- serves for the 2002-2003 year. Lak- eridge CEO, Brian Lemon, said physicians have faced an enormous inequity over the past 15 years. “Now we can reward our physicians for the time and effort they spend in hospi- tals.” The $1-million funding is scheduled to be distributed immedi- ately. One of the issues that concerns Dr. Stone and his colleagues most is the growing shortage of physicians in Durham Region. He cautions that if hospital rede- velopment takes too long, less than adequate local facilities will have a negative effect on doctors wanting to practice here. “We’re losing people and there is an inability to attract new staff,” says Dr. Stone..$45 Gift Certificate with Purchase Receive a FREE $45 Gift Certificate with the purchase of HP PSC750 All-In-One (715-271).

DURHAM —Durham’s Catholic school board has more important things to spend money on than the On- tario Catholic School Trustees’ Association (OCSTA), says Stan Kar- wowski, The Oshawa trustee op- poses paying the board’s $74,400 membership fee for 2001/02. The seven other Durham Catholic District School Board members at the board meeting last week approved the payment, which is based on student enrolment. This year’s fee was $322 higher than last year’s. The OCSTA lobbies the provincial government to in- fluence policy, provides labour relations support for boards, and offers profes- sional development confer- ences and seminars for trustees, among other ser- vices, according to executive director John Stunt. “If you ask my personal opinion, I wouldn’t put a dol- lar into that organization; we have higher priority needs,” Trustee Karwowski said in an interview. While he called OCSTA “a valuable organization”, he said given the board’s recent low Education Quality and Assessment Office (EQAO) test scores, especially in Grade 3, the board should spend the money to hire an- other teacher or improve stu- dents’reading skills. Trustee Karwowski noted the board’s grades 3 and 6 EQAO test scores were the lowest in the Greater Toronto Area. And while board offi- cials at the meeting down- played the results, with edu- cation director Grant An- drews noting parental in- come and other factors have an influence on student suc- cess, Trustee Karwowski suggested the sheer number of students tested in each board eliminates such vari- ables. “I’m sure there are poor people in York Region that would have written the test,” he said. “Is that factor alone attributable to a (large) dif- ference? I don’t think so. If that was the case we should have beat Toronto Catholic and we didn’t.” York’s public and Catholic boards, respective- ly, had the highest test scores of the GTA’s 10 school boards. At both boards, an average of all three areas of testing showed approximate- ly 65 per cent of students in grades 3 and 6 met the provincial standard, which is 70 to 79 per cent. Meanwhile 52.5 per cent of Durham Catholic board students met the standard, compared to 52.8 per cent at the Toronto Catholic board. Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira, one of OCSTA’s 13 region directors, said the board more than gets its money’s worth as a member. “If we as a board wanted to respond to every piece of legislation, every mandate of the government individually, we would pay that money I don’t know how many times over,” she said. The OCSTA has the legal expertise and historical back- ground “at their fingertips”, and for the board to do its own legwork it would cost plenty more in terms of staff time and money, said Trustee Pereira. Trustee Karwowski, at the meeting, blamed the low test scores on the lack of provin- cial funding. The Catholic board’s funding is 66th out of 72 school boards. He said the test results would im- prove with more resources devoted to young pupils. “I think the major factor is we need more money,” he said. “We need more money for specialized teachers in reading, writing, we also need more teacher aids.” A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 23, 2001 Catholic trustee questions $74,000 membership fee Serving Toronto And Durham Region With Sony Products For Over 46 Years 401 Lawrence Kingsto n R d G&G MorningsideOne of the largest selections of Sony products in stock and on display anywhere.

That’s how a four-mem- ber security panel summed up life after the terrorist at- tacks in the United States Sept. 11 at a ‘town hall’ meeting held by the Durham Federal Liberal Association in Courtice, Nov. 15. “It’s trite to say the world has changed, but our view of the threat posed by terrorists has changed,” said Jim Blyth of the Canadian Nu- clear Safety Commission (CNSC), the country’s regu- lator for nuclear facilities. “The idea of people that are well-thought out, well orga- nized, patient and willing to give up their lives was for- eign to us.” Just over a month follow- ing the attacks, the CNSC announced new, more strin- gent regulations for nuclear power plants, including the requirement to have an “armed response” at the fa- cilities. Stronger fortifica- tion of nuclear facilities will not be a temporary measure, he reported. “The long-term solution is there will be an armed re- sponse on site and we’re not going back,” said Mr. Blyth. This new requirement will mean security forces at nu- clear sites will need a higher level of training than in the past, he noted. He added the CNSC is imposing the new measures despite the fact Canada’s nu- clear facilities are “some of the strongest structures on earth”, built to sustain sub- stantial damage without a radioactive release into the environment. Durham riding MP Alex Shepherd said airport securi- ty workers also face more intense training and will re- ceive better tools to perform their jobs. “There’s no question the Sept. 11 events tore a big hole in our confidence in our security system,” admitted Mr. Shepherd. “There are a number of issues that clearly came out of this.” But, he added, air mar- shals on planes aren’t neces- sarily the best method of de- fence against terrorism in the air. “There are two different theories of thought,” he said. One is hiring air marshals and the other is to ensure the highest level of security is carried out on the ground so there is not a need for sky police. Airline security is only one of many areas the gov- ernment is re-examining be- cause no one knows what form terrorism may take in the future, Mr. Shepherd said. “We have to be cognizant the next terrorist threat, if heaven forbid there be such a thing, could be quite dif- ferent,” he added. “You bet- ter be prepared to fight the last war but you’ve got to think what the next one might look like.” Policing has changed in the last two months as well, said Corporal John Green of the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police (RCMP). Like 2,000 of his fellow officers, Crpl. Green has been reas- signed to address possible terrorism activity in Canada. More than 8,000 tips, from frivolous to valuable, have been received since the RCMP set up a hotline, he said. Inspector Tom Cameron of the Durham Region Po- lice Service’s Clarington of- fice said local police have taken a closer look at their procedures. Some changes have taken place including a new pres- ence by Durham police at the region’s two nuclear sta- tions (paid for by Ontario Power Generation) and a higher level of communica- tion with other forces na- tionally and internationally about counter-terrorism. “We’ve taken our emer- gency plans down off the shelf and dusted them off,” he added, noting a higher level of “daily vigilance” in standard police routines. However, Insp. Cameron reminded the audience “there has been no con- firmed, direct, real threat in Canada,” since the war on terrorism began. Still, he added, police are preparing for the unlikely.

Despite protests from Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond, the Region will include the additional space in its request for proposal (RFP) process currently under way for a new 300,000-sq.-ft. home, council has decided. “When we look at priorities, when we look at pressures, to just drop this item in and say we want more space; I don’t think we should even be con- sidering (this),” Mayor Diamond told council. The Durham Police Services Board has requested council add in the additional 40,000 sq. ft. and at least 40 parking spaces to accommo- date a future headquarters as it antic- ipates outgrowing its current location on Centre Street in Oshawa in com- ing years. Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son told council the request is only for consideration and council is under no obligation to approve the extra 40,000 sq. ft. once proposals are submitted on the Regional head- quarters project, which is expected to cost approximately $50 million if ap- proved. “I think what’s being asked here is somewhat simple,” the chairman re- lated. “If we’re going for an RFP, in- clude it. If we don’t like it when it comes in, we don’t include it. If you don’t like it take it out of the RFP just like you will everything else (council doesn’t want). All they’re asking for is consideration.” In an October meeting, council had debated the request by the police department but tabled the item after Mayor Diamond had raised a concern there was not enough detail in the re- quest to make an informed decision. The item was tabled until the Nov. 14 meeting so a more detailed report could be obtained. Once again, Mayor Diamond complained the analysis provided by Durham Regional Police was too sketchy to use as a basis for approv- ing consideration of a new headquar- ters. “This needs to go back to the po- lice services board,” the mayor said. “There is no analysis, nothing that speaks to such major changes to po- lice services.” But Doug Moffatt, Scugog mayor and police services board vice-chair- man, defended the report, noting all building specifications for the police department must originate from the Regional public works department. In order for public works to examine future capital needs of the depart- ment, council must approve consid- eration of the matter, he said. *We will give you a discount equivalent to the GST and PST off our last ticketed prices.

After 12 years of grinding effort, the Multicultural Council of Oshawa/Durham has finally met its commitment to raise money for a place to call home. The council recently opened its first permanent location at 57 Kenneth Ave., in Oshawa. Since its beginnings in 1980 the council has been holding its meetings in members’homes or rented space. The home base will offer the council many more opportunities and advan- tages. “We can do a lot more, such as having meetings, having spe- cial people come to talk to us, having different ministers, dif- ferent counsellors, different groups sit down and talk about the focus of the multicultural council in Durham Region,” said Richard Davidson, presi- dent of the group. “Instead of (members) using their own materials and faxes and phones to work out of their own homes... instead of renting space from other committee groups to do volunteer work be- cause we are using our fund- raising monies to rent space — that money can be put toward different things.” The council advocates for the vast array of nationalities and cultures that make up Durham Region. “Sometimes a lot of confi- dentiality goes along with hav- ing your own building,” said Mr. Davidson. “People feel more comfortable going in an office space and talking about issues of concern rather than going to someone’s home or carrying on a conversation over the telephone and I think (hav- ing an office to go to) gives peo- ple more of a sense of security.” Those with any suggestions on how the Multicultural Coun- cil of Oshawa/Durham can im- prove life in Durham Region can visit or mail their sugges- tions to 57 Kenneth Ave., Os- hawa, L1G 5N3. 15%15% ON A L L ON A L L IN-ST O C K IN-ST O C K ACCE S S O R I E S ACCE S S O R I E S SAVE SAVE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALEMOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa The Area’s ONLY Full Line LA-Z-BOY Dealer 1-800-642-4561 (905) 723-5211 THE INCREDIBLE EVENT SPECIA L SPECIA L SPECIA L PURCH A S E S PURCH A S E S PURCH A S E S THROU G H O U T THROU G H O U T THE ST O R E THE ST O R E For 3 days only the night owl gets the worm.

But more and more people are discovering their many other benefits. These include stronger suction, greatly reduced noise levels, and improved air quality (IAQ). Some commonly asked question are: Q:What is "indoor air quality"? A:Many factors com- bine to pollute air inside homes, including chemical vapors off-gasing from wall, ceiling and floor coverings, cooking by products (grease, steam, odors), animal hair and dander, dust mites (pre- sent in all house ducts), molds, spores, bacteria, lawn chemicals carried into the home on shoes or pets, and airborne pollens. Q:Do tightly insulated homes actually increase indoor air pollution? A:Yes. In cold climates new homes have been insu- lated to higher values since the mid 1970's energy crisis and are often shut-up for months at a time in winter. This restricts circulations of fresh, outdoor air. The result is air quality much worse (up to 100 times dirtier) than outdoor air in the most pol- luted cities in Canada and the US. Q:I've heard wall-to- wall carpet contributes to poor indoor air. A:If need not kept clean in a home with lots of carpet, forced air heat, central air- conditioning, children and pets (a typical home), carpet gets dirtier and dirtier from the time its installed until it's replaced (on average every seven years). Effectiveness of regular carpet cleaning with a central system can be enhanced with dry chemical deep cleaning two to four times a year. Q:Are bacteria and molds commonly found in homes? A:Bacteria and molds are very common and pre- sent in places you might not suspect. Damp walls or floors anywhere, but espe- cially basements are breed- ing grounds for molds. Vac. ducts are also bacteria and mold collection points. Colds, flu and allergies are generated, transmitted and aggravated by debris in these vents. Clean them reg- ularly and limit material taken into them by regular cleaning of floors, walls and upholstered surfaces. prices and you save time and money when you come to us.” Sumit Crystal and China carries gift and collector items like Swarovski Crystal and many more.

Durham businessman joins rural economic development panel BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM —Rural businesses forming partnerships may benefit from a new provincial program, says a Durham businessman. Fred Archibald, co-owner and op- erator of Archibald Orchards and Es- tate Winery north of Bowmanville, has been named to a 12-member in- dependent advisory panel that will recommend projects for funding under the five-year, $200-million rural economic development pro- gram. “It’s a very broad-based pro- gram... driven by partnerships,” said Mr. Archibald, adding “It’s designed to bring partnerships together and stimulate job creation.” Run by the Ontario Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), the program allows partnerships between individuals, businesses, community and not-for- profit organizations and municipali- ties. “Many things can be considered” as potential projects, said Mr. Archibald. Projects will be cost-shared with the Province providing up to 50 per cent of the expense. “I’m enthusiastic about the pro- gram in general,” said Mr. Archibald. “It’s going to offer a lot of groups, a lot of partnerships, the opportunity to get large amounts of assistance.” More information is available at Ontario government information cen- tres, on OMAFRA’s Web site at www.gov.on.ca/omafra, or at OMAFRA resource centres. 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 1-800-642-4561 (905) 723-5211MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE The Area’s ONLY Full Line LA-Z-BOY Dealer MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE Located In The Rear Of *OAC $29.99 administration fee due plus taxes due at time of purchase.

The daughter of Tilley En- durables founder and legendary hat designer Alex Tilley, Ms. Tilley has travelled around the world 10 times since the age of 17. Her wish this festive season, and all year round, is that more people will ex- perience the joy of travel, even if it’s only a short drive away. Encouraging travellers to jour- ney with efficiency and safety in mind, she has compiled a wish list of items that will delight both the rookie and intrepid traveller on your holiday list. • Whether buying for a back- packer, seasoned traveller or on- the-go business person, a spacious, durable bag can help make travel- ling a worry-free experience. Look for bags with lots of secure pockets for change, pens, maps and other travel documents. Ensure it has practical features such as a key clip and a large main compartment; • A lightweight, versatile and collapsible water bottle makes an excellent stocking stuffer for an outdoor enthusiast because it can fit almost anywhere. Look for one that is leak-proof and lined with a taste-free food- grade plastic, so water can be frozen or heated and still taste great. As an added touch, throw in an ultra-secure water bottle holder, which will ensure liquids are kept hot or cold and can clip on to belts and waistbands for versatility; • Suitable for all seasons, a knit twin set can offer both a tank top or short-sleeved shirt with a matching cardigan to throw on for protection against cool breezes. Cardigans can be worn buttoned up or casually open and can be dressed up with jewelry or a scarf; • Sun safety is important year- round, whether the person on your gift list is snorkelling in the tropics or dog sledding in Alaska. A sun- protective hat with a wide brim is an excellent gift for every season. Look for hats that are durable, water-repellent, packable, crush- able, floatable, and come equipped with secret pockets and a lifetime guarantee. Look for winter hats that repel snow and sleet and come with tuck-away ear and forehead flaps for ultimate warmth and pro- tection; • Socks will always please the adventurer on your list, especially if they are guaranteed to dry overnight, have a moisture escape panel and a ‘no-feel’ toe seam. — News Canada Wide-brimmed hats are a great Christmas gift for the traveller in your life. 905-426-6242 OPEN Mon. - Fri. 9 A.M. - 9 P.M.

Introducing the stylishly redesigned Passat. BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM —Citing compe- tition from nearby Toronto broadcasters, CHEX-TV’s ‘NewsWatch Durham’ will be cancelled early in the new year, affecting up to a dozen jobs. “As of Feb. 8, we’re stopping production of the half-hour news program,” said Scott Johnston, a general manager with CHEX. “We haven’t decided what will run (in its place) at 6 p.m. ... Oshawa’s proximity to Toronto makes competition for news viewers and national advertising dollars very difficult. We cannot compete with the biggest and the best in the country.” CHEX-TV is one of three over-the-air Canadian Broad- casting Corporation stations in Ontario, and is twinned with Pe- terborough. The third television location airs as CKWS-TV out of Kingston. “All three stations were looked at,” confirmed Mr. John- ston. News, production, sales and marketing positions are in- volved in what a Nov. 19 press release describes as “business reviews throughout the corpora- tion.” The stations are owned and operated by Corus Entertain- ment Inc., a multimedia corpo- ration that recently acquired WTN (the Women’s Television Network), and which owns YTV and Country Music Television along with over 50 radio sta- tions. “Nine positions within a bar- gaining unit are directly affect- ed” with the production of the soon-to-be chopped program, said Mr. Johnston. Durham staff members were notified Nov. 15 but because some are members of a bargaining unit and have ‘bumping’ rights, their seniority could land them jobs with one of the other two stations. Both Pe- terborough and Kingston also lost positions: five and two, re- spectively. “There are also a couple of positions outside the bargaining unit that were affected by the ad- justment,” added Mr. Johnston. “These are sales positions... We are attempting to look out for them. We are keeping our people informed.” The general manager said the local station, whose coverage area includes “Clarington, Os- hawa, Whitby, Ajax, Port Perry, Uxbridge and is spotty in Pick- ering”, will still provide local news, sports and weather infor- mation although not in a tradi- tional dinner-hour format. ‘First Take with Dan Carter’ will con- tinue to be produced as will ‘Discover Durham’. “On Monday, Feb. 11, we lose that (6 p.m. news) time due to CBC Olympic coverage so the viewers won’t notice any real change until early March,” said Mr. Johnston.

Starring Robert Redford, Brad Pitt Directed by Tony Scott. CIA operative Nathan Muir (Redford) is on the brink of retirement from the field when he learns his protégé, Tom Bishop (Pitt), has been arrested in China on a charge of espionage. No stranger to the machinations of the CIA’s top echelon, Muir hones all his skills and irreverent manner in order to find a way to free Bishop. As he embarks on his mission, Muir recalls how he recruited and trained the young rookie, then a sergeant serving in Viet- nam, their turbulent times together as front-line oper- atives and the woman who ultimately threatened their friendship.

Snowboarding buddies Rick (London), Luke (Gal- ifianakis), Anthony (Alexander) and Pig Pen (Hamilton) are living large on Alaska’s Bull Mountain. Partying hard, looking for girls, and doing just about anything to have a good time is what life on Bull Mountain is all about. But when town founder Papa Muntz dies, his son Ted (Willie Garson) de- cides to sell the mountain to slick Colorado ski mogul John Majors (Majors). Everyone is bummed by his plans to turn the board- ing mountain into an espresso-and-tofu ski re- sort, and it’s up to our he- roes — along with Majors’ beautiful, rebellious daugh- ters, Inga (Silvstedt) and Anna (Dhavernas) — to keep Bull Mountain yup- pie-free.

In the CHICKEN STRIP BASKET we start with a generous order of DQ french fries. We add four plump crispy chicken strips with all white chicken breast meat. Yes four! We then add a helping of Texas Toast and a portion of our own rich brown gravy for dipping. You can also dip your fries and chicken in barbecue, sweet and sour or honey dipping sauces. Our chicken strips are lightly breaded and we fry only in pure vegetable oil. Remember we make our basket from scratch so it takes about 5 minutes. The Chicken Strip salad starts with a fresh bed of crisp lettuce, followed by grated cheese, bacon bits and chopped tomatoes and then those warm chicken strips are sliced into the salad.

The Marauders (10-1-1), which in- cluded running back Phil Dehaney, fullback Rob Fortunato, wide receiver Kris Edwards and defensive back Jantzen Campbell-Skinner, ended a fine season one step short of a Vanier Cup berth last weekend. The Maraud- ers dropped the Canadian Inter-univer- sity Athletic Union’s Churchill Bowl (Vanier Cup semifinals) 27-6 to the University of Manitoba Bisons in Manitoba Nov. 17. The Marauders earned a trip to the game after capturing the Ontario Uni- versity Athletics’ (OUA) Yates Cup with a 30-22 over the University of Ot- tawa Gee-Gees at McMaster’s Les Prince field Nov. 10. To capture the cup, McMaster defeated York Univer- sity 62-0 in the quarter-finals and Lon- don’s University of Western Ontario 46-20 in the OUA semifinals. Rookies Fortunato and Edwards and second-year player Dehaney are graduates of St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School. Campbell-Skinner, a Pickering resident and first-year player with Hamilton, is a graduate of Picker- ing High School in Ajax. The Vanier Cup is Dec. 1 at Toron- to’s SkyDome with the Halifax-based St. Mary’s University Huskies — the top-ranked team in the nation — play- ing the number-three ranked Bisons for the national university football crown. The Huskies have one local mem- ber on its roster, rookie Rocco Ciccia- rella, who’s one of four quarterbacks on the team. A St. Mary grad, Ciccia- rella led the Monarchs to the 2000 Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics title, helping the team to the Metro Bowl semifinals where it lost to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish from Burlington. Kurtis Miller qualifies for World Cup swimming event PICKERING —A Pickering swimmer will compete against the world’s best at an upcoming meet in New York. Kurtis Miller, 16, of the Scarbor- ough Swim Club, has qualified to at- tend the US Open Swim Meet in East Meadow, Nov. 27 and 28. The meet will attract more than 150 of the world’s top athletes from 30 countries. More than $60,000 in prize money will be up for grabs at the FINA World Cup Series stop. An additional $40,000 sits in the world record bonus pot. The series is a circuit of nine stops around the world — three in the Amer- icas (Rio de Janeiro, Edmonton, New York), two in Asia/Oceania (Shanghai, Melbourne) and four in Europe (Impe- ria, Paris, Stockholm, Berlin). The se- ries runs November through January. In New York, swimmers will earn $1,000 for a first-place finish, with $500 and $250 going to second and third place, respectively. The short- course meet offers events from 50m of each stroke up to the 1,500m free for men and 800m free for women. Miller is a Canadian record holder in the 50m freestyle for his age group. Scarborough Swim Club head coach, Sylvain Pineau, will attend the meet with the Canadian national team. Pineau was selected by Swim Canada to coach the national team on this leg of the World Cup Tour. He joined the national team for the Canadian portion of the Tour in Edmonton, currently under way, and then travels to New York.
