The CFIB said the FCM caucus, made up of 21 mayors from the country’s largest urban centres, had been push- ing for changes to Canada’s constitutional framework in order to gain more taxation power for municipalities, such as new sales or income taxes. However, 95 per cent of businesses surveyed in the Greater Toronto Area said they were opposed to increased mu- nicipal taxation powers, while two per cent were supportive, and three per cent said they did not know. FCM has categorically re- jected the CFIB position, say- ing the mayors are not asking for the right to impose munici- pal sales and income taxes. Rather than saddling Cana- dians with additional levels of taxation, the FCM said munic- ipalities would like to see a portion of growth tax revenues collected by federal, provincial and territorial governments al- located to covering the costs of municipal services. “Let me be very clear,” began FCM president and Toronto Councillor Jack Lay- ton in a press release, “Munic- ipalities do not want the power to impose municipal sales or income taxes. What we do want is to encourage a national discussion on revenue-sharing between municipalities and the federal and provincial/territori- al governments.” Woman robbed at gunpoint in front of home PICKERING —A Picker- ing woman was left shaken after being robbed at gunpoint in front of her home Monday morning. The 46-year-old woman ar- rived at a Chapman Court home around 1 a.m. after fin- ishing work, Durham Regional Police said. She parked her car in the garage and as she walked to- wards the house, she was ap- proached by a man. Police said he pointed a black handgun at the ground and demanded she give him the bag she was carrying, po- lice said. He grabbed the backpack containing cash and personal belongings and fled towards Major Oaks Drive. The woman wasn’t injured. The man is described as black, 5-foot-11 to 6 feet, slim and in his early 20s. He was wearing a long, light blue jack- et zipped up to his mouth. Police said some items from the bag were recovered in the area. Pickering’s winter supplies salted away Weather may be friendly now, but ‘it’s best to be prepared’ BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —For the last two months snowflakes have been a rare sight in the City, while unseasonably warm temperatures have made for little or no ice on local roads. For City crews, which usu- ally spend the winter spread- ing salt over frozen roads, this winter so far has brought a much lighter schedule and the chance to save the salt re- serves hit so hard at the be- ginning of 2001. “There’s been very little snow and we’ve only had to salt twice so far in November and December,” said Richard Holborn, Pickering’s division head of municipal property and engineering. Energy incentives put wind in sails of green power BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —When On- tario Power Generation (OPG) built North America’s largest windmill on the Pickering wa- terfront this summer the com- pany hailed wind-generated turbines as the green energy source of the future. Now, a little help from the federal government may make that statement ring true. As part of the federal gov- ernment’s commitment to en- courage renewable energy pro- duction in Canada, its recent budget proposed a new incen- tive for electricity produced from qualifying wind energy projects. An initial incentive payment of 1.2 cents per kilowatt-hour of production, gradually de- clining to 0.8 cents, will be in- troduced for eligible projects commissioned between April 1, 2002 and March 31, 2007. The incentive will be avail- able for the first 10 years of production and the federal gov- ernment is hoping it will result in more investment in wind en- ergy projects across Canada. Provincial and territorial governments are also being en- couraged to provide support. Many of the preliminary de- tails will soon be announced by the minister of natural re- sources and, following consul- tations, final program details, including eligibility criteria, will be announced before April 1. OPG itself has committed to raising its green energy portfo- lio to 500 megawatts by 2005. The Pickering windmill, which stands 30 storeys high and is expected to produce a maximum output of 1.8 megawatts, produces enough energy to power 600 homes, bringing OPG’s total green en- ergy production up to approxi- mately 140 megawatts of power. That figure includes sources such as small hydro electricity, solar power, and biogas and biomass. OPG spokesman John Earl said while the federal govern- ment’s latest initiative may not put any money in the compa- ny’s pockets for the Pickering windmill, its commitment to green energy has not wavered. “We have a major commit- ment to green power and weThe wind turbine on Picker- ing’s waterfront is the first but not necessarily the last.See GREEN page 2 ...see page 3 AT A GLANCE Resolve to donate pint of blood in new year DURHAM —Just when you thought the gift-giving season was over, opportunities abound to give the most important gift of all.

Since the program began on Nov. 29, a total of 507,490 cars have been checked, compared to 376,650 during the same time last year. The number of people charged with impaired driving of- fences has increased from 394 in 2000 to 472 this year. Last year, to this point, 756 12-hour suspensions were issued - this year there have been 1,039. Collisions remain down from the same time last year, however 45 people have died this year in accidents, compared to 35 in 2000. Eight of those lives were lost in alcohol-related crashes. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Pushing forward in the pool PICKERING –– Kristy Rebek gets a gentle push from her mother, Barb, during a family swim at the Pickering Recreation Complex on the weekend. The City of Pick- ering also hosted families on New Year’s Eve with a swim and skating session at the complex. See DURHAM page 2 See CITY page 5 will stick to our commitment,” he said. “We’re going to quadruple our green power to 500 megawatts by 2005 — that’s wind and solar power. Consumers have put an em- phasis on green power and if the market demands more, we will do what needs to be done.” Mr. Earl noted small businesses involved in wind power could be- come the big beneficiaries. “The federal budget commit- ment to wind power will certainly open more opportunity for capital funding for the small entrepre- neur,” he said. At least one small business here in Durham, Ajax’s Tri-Service Metal Products Inc., recently stepped into the windmill tower- building market. In an interview earlier this year, company president John Berger said he saw a very bright future for the wind energy industry. Tri-Service constructed a 65- metre tower for a 1.5-megawatt windmill in Port Albert, Ont., erected in mid-October. Mr. Berger said the company jumped on the opportunity after hearing the Canadian Wind Energy Association call for 10,000 megawatts of wind power capacity by the end of the decade. At the time, only 140 megawatts were being produced in Canada. “There’s great potential here,” he said, adding, “We’re on the verge of an emerging opportunity.” A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 2, 2002 Green power future in the wind Recycle!GREEN from page 1 Durham mayors speak out on tax issue Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs agreed. “I can’t see us being in the tax- ation business directly,” he said. “There’s already multi levels of government in the taxation busi- ness and it would be confusing at best.” Both Mayor Arthurs and Mayor Mutton also want an in- creased piece of the taxes collect- ed by the provincial and federal governments. In separate interviews, the two said they would like to see a por- tion of gas taxes come to munici- palities to pay for road mainte- nance or transit. Mayor Mutton added a portion of the taxes on alcohol and tobac- co products would also be valu- able and wondered why the provincial government, so quick to cut taxes, has left the munici- palities wanting more. “The Province is cutting taxes and sending cheques out to peo- ple while we’re left bearing the brunt of their downloading,” he said. “Obviously the pie is unfair- ly cut.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said “There needs to be a balance be- tween more responsibilities and its revenues. With downloading, it’s gotten very significantly out of kilter. We’re taking on many, many more responsibilities and there’s been no change to our rev- enues. “We’re seeing the outcome of that. The Ontario government is starting to take back some of the responsibilities. We’re seeing some of that with GO Transit.” As responsibilities are passed down “they’ll have to give municipalities broader taxing capabilities, but I’m not sure if a sales tax is the right way to go,” he added.

Both the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and the Ontario Federation of All-Terrain Vehicle Clubs (OFATV) are request- ing ATV riders refrain from using OFSC trail systems until grooming operations stop next spring. “OFSC trails are paid for and op- erated for snowmobilers, not ATV riders who do not buy snowmobile trail permits,” said OFSC general manager Ron Purchase. “ATVers must either develop their own trails for winter use or ride on trails other than those maintained by OFSC clubs. Better yet, why not join us on a snowmobile?” Riding an ATV on OFSC trails not only can cause surface damage the ATV operator does not pay to re- pair, but can also have other equally serious results, the snowmobile or- ganization ar- gues. Many snowmobile trails exist thanks to the generosity of private property owners who have agreed to allow snowmo- biles on their land. However, this permission does not extend to ATVs, so any ATVs trespass- ing on OFSC trails across pri- vate land may cause landowner problems for the local snowmo- bile club. “ATV riders trespassing on OFSC snowmo- bile trails this winter is part of a much larger issue that needs to be addressed co-operatively by the OFSC and the OFATV,” com- mented Pur- chase.

The City takes a five-year average of the amount of salt and man-hours needed to fight winter battles on the roads when budgeting for an upcom- ing year. Mr. Holborn said three out of the last five years have been harsh win- ters, leaving Pickering with probably more than enough to go around in these Indian summer-like conditions. Pickering’s salt dome is at the works depot at Brock and Taunton roads, where supplies are maintained at a level roughly enough for three severe storms. In his 10 years with the City, Mr. Holborn said this is probably the lightest year, in terms of snow and ice. However, he warned that just be- cause winter hasn’t hit yet, doesn’t mean it’s not going to. “It could happen tomorrow,” he said, remembering an 18-inch snow- fall that hit the City hard Dec. 11, 1992. “It’s best to be prepared.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 2, 2002 PAGE 5 P Visit us online and read all about it at durhamregion.com City gets a break from Mother Nature – so far CITY from page 1 Now Over 165 Centres Across Canada www.herbalmagicsystems.com We Guarantee you can lose all the weight you need!

I lost 30 pounds with Positive Changes Hypnosis. I went from a size 16 to a size 8 in four short months. I’m at my ideal weight and I feel great! Daily Struggle I struggled with my weight all my life. Up and down, up and down, like a yo-yo. I thought to myself, I am an intelligent woman, why can’t I control something as simple as food? I knew that I was dealing with more than just weight. I had tried the national diet chains. I lost weight, but I was hungry and cranky. I am a former diet ‘leader’. I had a lot of knowledge about weight loss, but it didn’t motivate me. After working so hard to lose 80 pounds, I had gained back 30. I heard a testimony from a Positive Changes Hypnosis customer on the radio. I was impressed with the weight she had lost and the other changes she had made in her life. I had carried that 30 pounds for six months. I couldn’t get a handle on it. I picked up the phone and called Positive Changes. 100% Satisfied While on diet programs I was haunted by a feeling that my weight was waiting around the corner to pounce on me.

It may have been a less than vintage year for those of us who lost jobs, cowered in horror at the thought of ter- rorist attacks or had less than a jolly Christmas because of a nasty case of the flu. But 2001 was an incredible year for politicians. Our democratically elected representatives, across al- most every level of government, enjoyed massive self- prescribed pay raises. Happy New Year indeed! We’re sure the Dom Perignon flowed freely as beluga caviar was ingested by many a chortling regional politician, MP or MPP. Regional politicians decided a raise would be a fine idea. So they boosted their pay last March by eight per cent, retroactive to Jan. 1 of course. Then, figuring one raise was simply not enough, they decided to give them- selves another and jacked up their pay another nine per cent (over the next three years). But it doesn’t stop there. Figure in severance pay, one-time retirement fund pay and an ongoing retirement savings plan and our council- lors are just rolling in it. MPs and MPPs, who’ve whined for years they don’t get enough compensation — never mind many enjoy fringe benefits you and I only dream about — made up for it this past year. Both quickly passed bills that jumped their pay by more than $20,000 annually, a tidy sum in- deed. And those numbers multiply for cabinet ministers, party leaders, etc. But while these people treat themselves to goodies at our expense, they act like Scrooge toward us. Finance ministers brag about massive tax cuts, but there’s little evidence in the average working person’s pay packet. The federal government trims five cents per hundred dollars earned off our employment insurance premiums but will jack up Canadian Pension Plan premiums by 40 cents per hundred dollars earned. In the end, the moves will all but eliminate any federal income tax cut for the average earner. The multibillion-dollar EI surplus keeps growing and growing, a juicy hedge against a budget deficit for the fed, which continues to underfund medicare and let the provinces take the political heat. The GST and PST continue to eat up 15 per cent on just about every purchase made — no sign of a cut coming there ei- ther. The Province and Region complain there isn’t enough money to go around and cry for more from above. But in- dividual politicians certainly have no trouble finding an awful lot more money — our tax money — for them- selves. Yes, it’s a very happy new year for our politicians. We’re betting they’re happiest of all they won’t have to face the electorate in 2002 and that they hope by 2003 none of us will remember how good they were to them- selves last year. Let’s not forget.

It was on the bench at a bus stop at the east entrance to the Pickering Town Centre. When I got off the bus in the GO Transit parking lot I noticed my green canvas bag missing. One of the woman bus drivers suggested I get back on the bus and go back to where I initially got on the bus. When we got there I didn’t see my bag. After the driver sug- gested I take a better look, I walked over to the bus shelter and couldn’t believe my eyes: there was my bag pushed in to the corner with all my shopping still inside. Therefore, I wish to thank the person who found it for being so honest and not keeping my bag. I also would like to thank the bus drivers for her help in finding it. Helen Pucci, Pickering Time to speak up and save Valley View To the editor: Re: ‘Closing schools doesn’t sup- port growing community,’ letter to the editor, Dec. 19. I’ve seen the worried parents, in the precious months leading up to Christmas, fighting a battle to keep Valley View Public School open. I have been to the meetings and heard the evidence. The idea of closing this good school lacks common sense. It’s time for the people we elected to stand up and speak out in support of Valley View and the strong community it serves. Len Bitondo, Greenwood Oh to be an overpaid, underworked politician To the editor: Would you believe the Mike Harris provincial government worked so hard between Dec. 10 and 13 that they had to shut down Queen’s Park for three months to rest up? They pushed through 21 differ- ent bills in those four days; under a democratic system it would take two to three months. I think what it is, is that Pre- mier Harris created so many part- time jobs, he is going to have our MPPs go work on a part-time basis. The difference between MPPs and the working class is the work- ing class only get paid for the hours worked while MPPs get full-time pay and a raise besides. I don’t think many of the work- ing class part-timers get a raise. Oh, to be a politician. How sweet it must be.

It was a simple one-storey red brick building, located on Pickering Beach Road near Dreyer Drive. Between 1862 and 1900, the pioneer families of the area sent their children to learn reading, writing and math. Later it was used by the children of the Pickering Beach community. The building went out of use as a school in 1955 and was demolished in 1986. Photos supplied by the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee on behalf of the Ajax Community Archives.

Editorial cartoon Ontario’s Progressive Conserv- atives could soon have a premier without a seat in the legislature and a bit of a headache on their hands. Ernie Eves, the former deputy premier and finance minister, has a huge lead among senior Tories in the race to succeed Premier Mike Harris and must be considered at this stage to have the best chance of winning, although this is no certainty. Mr. Eves gave up the riding of Parry Sound-Muskoka when he quit as an MPP last February after 20 years to take a $1.2-million-a- year job in investment banking. There is no law that says a pre- mier has to have a seat in the leg- islature, but there is an obligation for a premier to obtain one reason- ably quickly to speak for his party and answer opposition parties’ questions about its policies. The last premier to be without a seat, George Drew, also a Tory, lost his in the 1948 election and hung on as premier, running the cabinet and government for four months. He then won his party’s federal leadership and departed from provincial politics. Bob Rae also did not have a seat in the legislature when the New Democratic Party, then in op- position, chose him leader in 1982. He ran the party partly from a seat in the public gallery for nine months until a former leader, Don- ald MacDonald, unselfishly gave up his and gave Mr. Rae the chance to win a byelection. Mr. Eves could call a general election immediately if he wins the leadership, but it would be risky because the last was in 1999 and the public has shown it has lit- tle tolerance for early elections. If Mr. Eves tried to win in a by- election, he would be unlikely to get the opportunity to run again in his former riding. He was suc- ceeded there in a byelection by Norman Miller, whose late father, Frank, premier briefly in 1985, held much of the riding before it was merged with Mr. Eves’s. Mr. Miller said Mr. Eves has not asked him if he would give up his riding, but he has launched into being an MPP with enthusi- asm, is a more-frequent-than-av- erage participant in debates, par- ticularly in feeding ministers questions that give them openings to boost their policies, and radi- ates pride in following his father. If Mr. Miller stepped aside and Mr. Eves won the byelection, Mr. Eves most likely would try to win a couple of general elections and it could be seven or eight years be- fore Mr. Miller would have a chance to resume a political ca- reer, although less if Mr. Eves lost. Mr. Miller then might have dif- ficulty winning back the riding, because he could be thought of as someone who lacked commitment to it — it is almost inconceivable he would step down for Mr. Eves. Premier Harris holds the ad- joining riding of Nipissing, which might seem an opportunity for Mr. Eves. In announcing he will quit as premier, Premier Harris promised to serve the balance of his term to the next general elec- tion, due about 2003, “the way I began, as a member of the legisla- ture representing the people of Nipissing”. But promises premiers make about their futures should not be taken as written in stone. Premier Harris for example also said many times, flatly, with- out equivocating and up to the day he was found to be quitting, he would stay and fight at least one more election. Premier Harris has won in his riding reasonably comfortably, but the Liberals made a fight of it in 1999 and the area used to be Lib- eral, and there is some doubt any- way Mr. Eves could win in either of these two northern ridings. Mr. Eves would be handi- capped because he visited his rid- ing less frequently after becoming finance minister and enamoured of Toronto’s brighter lights. Some constituents made an issue of it and his acrimonious marriage breakup is more likely to be re- membered in the north. Many northerners also will think of him as someone they now glimpse mostly on the society pages in dashing tuxedo and cum- merbund who left them to become the epitome of a city slicker. Mr. Eves probably would have a better chance in one of the so- called 905-area ridings, in the Toronto suburbs, where most peo- ple are doing fairly well financial- ly and benefiting from Premier Harris’s tax cuts and less con- cerned about his cuts in services. The most likely would be Mis- sissauga South, which has been held comfortably since 1985 by Tory Margaret Marland, who has been a minister and appears to be easing down. It would be a diffi- cult riding for a Tory to lose and Mr. Eves would fit in there like a Tim Hortons. Where oh where would Ernie sit? It may be a Timbit early, but Mississauga could be the perfect fit Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com 24 Hour Access 905-420-4660 cityofpickering.com905-420-2222 Public Swim Giant Slide for Holiday Hours 905-683-6582 Winter Programs Extended Registration Hours until January 7 905-420-4621 Watch for the Giant Inflatable Slide Jan. 2nd to Jan. 6th 1-4 pm • 7-9 pm The inflatable slide is 6 metres long and will be in the Rec Complex Pool for Family Swim Times between Jan. 2nd to January 6th.

He said the OFAH was “shocked” when the Province reworked the Mo- torized Snow Vehicle Act earlier this year. After months of consultation with his group and others, Bill 101 ignored the traditional understanding that has existed between snowmobile groups and anglers and hunters for years, he said. “Anglers and hunters have always been exempted under the previous snowmobile trail act from having to purchase a trail permit,” Mr. Holmes related. “But there was no exemption under Bill 101.” The Province has since passed a regulation extending a “limited ex- ception” from the new requirement to have and display a snowmobile trail permit to qualified anglers and hunters. To be eligible, anglers must have a valid fishing or fishing/hunting out- doors card and a valid sport-fishing tag. Hunters must have a valid out- doors card, a valid licence to hunt and be carrying hunting equipment. Fines range from $200 to $1,000. Snowmobile clubs have always supported anglers and hunters using their trails, but with Bill 101, which made purchasing and displaying trail permits mandatory for the first time, it was “too hard to define” that rela- tionship legally, said Tim West, man- ager of external relations for the On- tario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC). While Mr. West said the OFSC en- courages everyone to purchase a per- mit, if a hunter or angler is using a short section of trail and can show proof, they should be granted the ex- emption. “We’re not asking someone who hunts or fishes to be given carte blanche — to be able to use any trail all the time,” added Mr. Holmes. “Anyone who rides recreationally, we urge them to get a permit.” Ontario Provincial Police and other enforcement groups will be checking riders for the closest point of access, said Mr. West. “If you’re supposed to be trapping in Sudbury and using a trail in North Bay, I’d say you’re abusing the sys- tem,” he added.

Distress Centre needs a few good men and women Help for small business on the way New committee meets in January to find ways to cut red tape DURHAM —Whitby-Ajax MPP and Finance Minister Jim Fla- herty announced the establishment of the Small Business Advisory Committee last month. “From the very beginning, the Ontario government has tried to create a strong and healthy business environment,” said Mr. Flaherty. “In order for us to maintain sound economic policies, it is important that we receive input from small business leaders.” The committee, which meets for the first time Jan. 16, will comprise small business representatives, tax administration personnel and other key stakeholders, including mem- bers of the Red Tape Commission. Its mandate is to identify and discuss new ways of simplifying tax administration and cutting red tape. “We applaud the government for seeking out and listening to the ad- vice of small businesses on simpli- fying tax rules and procedures,” said Judith Andrew, vice-president of Ontario for the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent Business. “The goal is to reinforce small firms’key role in the economy by reducing the time and cost of complying with Ontario’s tax statutes.” Mr. Flaherty pointed out smaller businesses play an important role in the Ontario economy. “It is estimated that small and medium-sized businesses create more than half of all new jobs,” he said. “We know it takes an incredible amount of work to build and create your own business. “This government recognizes the small business community’s signif- icant contribution to the province of Ontario.” The committee will be led by Mr. Flaherty’s parliamentary assis- tant, Durham MPP John O’Toole, and is expected to make recommen- dations by April, 2002.
