DURHAM —Police is- sued 531 traffic violations, mostly for speeding, last week during its spring enforcement blitz across the region. The highest number of vio- lators was found in Whitby, where Durham Regional Po- lice snared 118 speeders while handing out 144 tickets. Oshawa ranked a dubious second, racking up 138 viola- tions, of which 118 were for speeding. Rounding out the numbers were north Durham with 76 infractions, Claring- ton with 88 and Ajax-Picker- ing with 85. Officers cautioned 116 other motorists about bad dri- ving, police said. Police are reminding dri- vers the traffic enforcement unit will be conducting regular crackdowns. They also urge motorists to buckle up or pay up as the spring seat-belt campaign began Monday and runs until April 27. Traffic blitz nabs hundreds BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —At Durham’s final budget meeting, some coun- cillors wanted to reduce the tax impact by dipping into reserves while others asked to increase it for much needed road work. In the end, taxpayers ended up with the finance committee’s rec- ommended 3.5-per cent hike. “In itself, the 2002 regional budget is an achievement in that this council is able to limit the tax increase yet at the same time we are able to finance a number of current and capital requirements associated with the delivery of im- portant regional services in 2002,” said finance chairman and Ajax Councillor Jim McMaster. The increase will mean an extra $47 per year on the regional por- tion of the tax bill on a residential property valued at $200,000. That increase will be added to any in- crease at the municipal level and to any jump or decline to the educa- tion portion of the bill, expected to be announced in the next provin- cial budget. Not all municipalities have set their budgets yet but the increases are running from a low of a 2.3-per cent in Clarington to possibly as much as eight per cent in Oshawa, which has not yet finalized its numbers. In Pickering the increase is 7.66 per cent, while the Ajax hike is 4.82. In total, the Region will spend about $600 million this year for capital and operating costs. Of that, just over $255 million will come from the tax base with the remainder financed through devel- opment charges, provincial gov- ernment contributions, the rate sta- bilization fund, water and sewers rates and a waste charge from the four municipalities that have adopted a regional collection sys- tem. Highlights of the budget out- lined by Coun. McMaster include: • Planned construction of new ambulance stations in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax; • The addition of 25 new police officers, 22 civilian staff and a new policing facility in Whitby; • About $750,000 more for con- servation authorities; and • An increased one-time financ- ing of $3.1 million for road capi- tal.

Avid tennis players, they recalled playing in long pants and coats a year ago. On this day, however, they had to stop the game on occasion and wipe off the sweat while playing at the Glendale Ten- nis Club’s courts in Pickering.

Thieves entered the Liverpool and Kingston roads-area school Monday night, stole computer equipment and left a huge mess. “Two, five-pound fire extin- guishers were emptied on the main floor and they cut the nozzle off of one of the firehoses,” explained Jan Bate, the Durham District School Board’s Pickering administrative officer. The culprits broke two windows See STUDENTS page 8 had been fought out in past weeks, there was still debate on how much of the funding should come from taxpayers and how much should be subsi- dized by the rate stabilization fund. Oshawa Councillor Clare Aker asked coun- cil to reduce the tax increase to 2.5 per cent by pulling $2.2 mil- lion out of the $42-million fund. “The fund is very clear in its name. It’s meant to be applied to reduce the impact on taxpayers,” she said.However, other councillors felt there needed to be a more comprehensive study on what the fund may be needed for in the future and the motion lost on a 10-14 recorded vote. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs asked to have the tax in- crease upped by half a per cent in order to facilitate further road rehabilitation. Coun. McMaster noted $9-million in ad- ditional funding was included in this year’s budget and that motion was also defeated.

Premier Ernie Eves and Education Minister Eliza- beth Witmer on Wednesday announced Ontario school boards would receive an additional $65 million this year so they can buy text- books and technology- based learning materials. The Durham District School Board’s share of the pot is $2,095,471. “We are obviously very pleased, it will make a dif- ference,” said Bev Freed- man, programs superinten- dent. “Part of the problem of course is that... every course changed in every grade. Especially at sec- ondary, the textbooks are very expensive, they range anywhere from $50 to $100 a textbook, and that’s in one subject, and students are obviously carrying somewhere between six and eight courses, so that’s a lot of textbooks to be pro- viding.” This September, Grade 12 students will be taught the new Ontario curricu- lum, completing the Province’s overhaul of the curriculum from kinder- garten to the end of high school. Steve Blake, principal of Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, said it’s too early to know what kind of an impact the money will have. “It’s been a priority that our kids have the resources they need,” he said. “We have drawn on our school budget to top up what the Province has given us for new textbooks.” At the Durham Catholic District School Board, comptroller Ryan Putnam said the board’s share of the funding is $812,042. Education director Grant Andrews said the funding announcement was “great news”. He said the memoran- dum from the ministry states the funding is to be used to purchase resources to support the Grade 12 curriculum, for special- needs student resources like picture-scanning soft- ware, and for resources in other grades. During the recent Pro- gressive Conservative Party leadership campaign, Pre- mier Eves said if elected he would provide more money for textbooks. “We have set higher aca- demic standards for our children, so it is vital that students have the books and resources they need to reach those standards,” he said in a release. “Today’s funding announcement will help children all across On- tario enjoy improved op- portunities for learning.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 19, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P New premier’s textbook promise nets Durham boards $3 million •FREE Consultation & Patch Test •FREE Consultation & Patch Test "Spring Special $50 Off With This Ad” Written Guarantee: Canada's Leader in Hair Removal with over 100,000 treatments Written Guarantee: Canada's Leader in Hair Removal with over 100,000 treatments LCI-MARKHAM 1-866-237-6667 LCI-MARKHAM 1-866-237-6667 LCI-PICKERING 1-866-767-6668 LCI-PICKERING 1-866-767-6668 FIRST PICKERING PLACE, 1550 KINGSTON RD. 905-831-1110FIRST PICKERING PLACE, 1550 KINGSTON RD. 905-831-1110 LCI-PICKERING LASER HAIR REMOVALLCI-PICKERING LASER HAIR REMOVAL "Spring Special $50 Off With This Ad” 1-800-642-4561 • (905) 723-5211 The Area’s Only Full Line LA-Z-BOY Dealer No one will be admitted until 12 Noon on April 18, 2002.

PRE SHOW “PRINT SALE” IN-STORE NOW - LIMITED STOCK AVAILABLE If there was ever any doubt capitalism has taken over in the heart of the Russian Federation, a drive into downtown Moscow — where one quickly senses the need for advertising sign bylaws — will remove it. As our Aeroflot Russian air- line Boeing 767 taxied our dele- gation into the Moscow airport, located about half an hour north of the capital city, our first view of our temporary home was a large billboard for Fusion brand cigarettes. The billboards, ad- vertising street banners and flashy signs, promoting materi- alism in every form, only prolif- erated as we headed into the city core. The irony of the Fusion ad- vertisement was not lost on our party of six: five Durham dele- gates — Durham Chairman Roger Anderson, Clarington Mayor John Mutton, Durham University president Gary Polonsky, Clarington planning director David Crome, Durham economic development officer Pat Olive — and an observer, me, here for international nego- tiations on Canada’s bid for the $12-billion ITER fusion energy research and development facil- ity. Mr. Anderson called the Fu- sion billboard “an omen”. A good one, of course. Our flight on the Russian air- line was a comfortable, direct nine hours, although it would take us almost half that again to clear customs and rush-hour traffic to reach our hotel down- town. Such is progress. Aeroflot has embraced competition and is working hard to prove its wings, proudly boasting its 14- per cent increase in ridership last year and a new non-smok- ing policy, all done in the name of customer satisfaction. That same competitive spirit evident in Aeroflot can be seen everywhere as we enter Moscow. A myriad of stores have cropped up since the fall of communism and the city is lead- ing the country’s once faltering ascent into the open market. Change has not come easily however, and as our car sat in a traffic jam on Moscow’s out- skirts the view revealed rural shanties and old forgotten infra- structure. Here grime is the win- dow-dressing for row upon row of rundown apartments sur- rounded by scrubland with squatters spotted throughout. But then, as if we have driven through some invisible wall, people dressed in the latest fash- ions walk past large storefronts munching McDonald’s fries with Cokes. Here in the down- town, new cars attest to growing wealth, at least for some. Majes- tic buildings, parks and city in- frastructure from a bygone era stretched ahead of us, (not un- like Yonge Street in Toronto be- tween Bloor and Queen) leading to the Kremlin and Red Square. Moscow, it is evident, has embraced capitalism along with international businesses that have happily set up shop.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, April 19, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P Another pushy sales rep from one of those new unregulated “energy re- tailers” came by the house last week- end. You know the pitch: “On May 1 electricity goes private. We will save you money. Sign here now!” I’m told if I sign on to their ‘price protection discount program’ I’m guaranteed a rate of 5.95 cents per kilowatt hour — typical of what these energy retailers offer. Looks great on the surface, especially when the rep points to my utility bill to “compare” my current rate. Thing is, my current rate includes the price of delivery and this new retailer’s rate is for the “com- modity” only. Electricity currently costs about 4.3 cents per kWh in Ontario. By signing with a retailer like this I ac- cept a 38-per cent increase in the cost of my electricity effective May 1. Locked in for five years. Funny, the sales reps never mention this, do they? Of course the Tories, who have pushed privatized electricity since the 1998 passage of The Energy Compe- tition Act, are similarly tight-lipped about the disastrous experiences of other jurisdictions or the threat to our sovereignty an open-market power in- dustry bodes. They never mention California — ironically the original ‘model’ for the Tories’deregulation scheme — where privatization of electricity has been a catastrophe, resulting in spiralling rates and widespread energy short- ages. The government there even spent $13 billion to buy electricity for taxpayers in an attempt to mitigate the rate increases. In the end, many utili- ties went bankrupt and Californians were still saddled with a 40-per cent rate hike. Neither do the Tories mention the threat to Ontario’s sovereignty privati- zation means. Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement gives private corporations unprece- dented legal rights over local govern- ments. The Ontario government could be legally prevented from protecting the environment, guaranteeing reli- able electric service or even stopping companies from gouging Ontario con- sumers if it interferes with the ability of private corporations to make money. Of course, if the electricity system was to remain in public hands, NAFTA would not apply. The privatization of electricity is another poorly thought-out and un- necessary Tory initiative. At stake is 50 years of cheap, dependable power — one of the things that has made On- tario such an attractive place to live and do business. Unfortunately, if the Tories can’t be made to reconsider electricity deregulation before May 1, then we might have to be nicer to those pushy “energy retailer” sales reps and their so-called deals. May day is no deal for energy consumers Youngster sets priorities straight To the editor: Re: ‘Many supporting board decision,’letter to the editor, April 7. I was appalled at being spoken for as a Christian. Perhaps the Catholic religion does not accept homosexuality but it does not speak for other religions. The teachings of the Bible are meant to guide us today, in this time frame. Being all accepting is Christianity, something many adults no longer understand. The most beau- tiful thing I have ever seen happened last summer at church. One week, a few of the churchwomen were ushering and as I stood with them, we watched my three-year-old son walk up the aisle and say good morning to every single person already seated. As new people came in, he approached them as well. He said good morning to each person and gave them a hug. It didn’t matter to him if he knew them or not. It didn’t mat- ter if they were black or white, old or young, homosexual or heterosexual. Each person received the same huge smile and greeting. The women and I stood there in amaze- ment and watched. He reinforced for me that we are all connected through God, be- cause only God could have guided that little one in such an innocent manner to unite all those people in a matter of moments. Leave gay Oshawa high school student Marc Hall alone and allow him to enjoy his prom with whomever he loves. That’s his prerogative as a human being. Remember happy people love one another. Angry peo- ple who have nothing to look forward to, emanate animosity and cause hatred. I pre- fer the world to be a happy place where peo- ple care about one another... and it took a three-year-old to make that clear to me.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER APRIL 19, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com The tax cut frenzy of the late 1990s was both welcome and necessary. Federal and provincial governments introduced succes- sive budgets that, over a period of years, reduced the tax burden on Canadians. Municipally, governments in Ajax and Pickering managed to produce zero-per cent increase budgets over several years as well, which meshed perfectly with the governing mood of the day. You’ll remember though, particularly at the provincial level, the positive effects of those tax cuts were mitigated by the ill-ad- vised downloading of services to the municipal governments al- ready running tight fiscal ships. Today, Ajax and Pickering councils have seen local projects delayed or even shelved due to money constraints. That, says Toronto Councillor Jack Layton, is a perfect exam- ple of why municipalities need a new deal from the upper levels of government, as well as a co-operative approach with one an- other to maintain important services and create new opportunities. Indeed, he claimed at a recent meeting among municipal and community representatives in Pickering last week, that while fed- eral revenues have increased 30 per cent in the last five years, and while provincial coffers swelled by 25 per cent, municipalities have only seen a seven-per cent increase in revenues. Those numbers underscore the widening gap between the most responsive and accessible level of government — municipal — and the upper tiers. What seems to be forgotten in the midst of this massive fiscal shell game is the fact there is only one taxpayer. It is incumbent upon the Province (and perhaps we’ll see some action on behalf of municipalities under the leadership of new Premier Ernie Eves) and federal government to pay heed to the clamour of voices in towns and cities across Ontario and Canada. They need more money to provide sustainable services to the peo- ple who contribute to the pool. Roads projects in Ajax and Pickering need attention. Transit services must continue to be improved to move people seamless- ly between regions. Meanwhile, the continued migration of new residents from Toronto and elsewhere to our communities will continue to put pressure on existing services. It’s not enough for politicians to show up two or three times a year at ground-breakings or hospital renovation projects with one- time funding cheques. More must be done, and on a more sustainable basis. Towns and cities are struggling while the fed and Province shirk their re- sponsibilities, all the while telling municipalities to tighten their belts and be more fiscally responsible. A new deal is needed. Currently, there is no deal at all.

In the school building itself, the thieves broke an entrance door window and took com- puter hard drives from the custodial and special-educa- tion offices. “The principal arrived about 7:30 a.m. and prompt- ly called the superintendent, Luigia Ayotte,” said Ms. Bate. Where a parent or guardian could be reached, students were sent home for the day. Otherwise, students were kept on the second floor of the building. “There was some concern about what was in the mater- ial sprayed,” said Ms. Bate, who reported it was “back to regular business” Wednes- day. Board spokesman Andrea Pidwerbecki said board health and safety staff was in the school to ensure it was safe for students to return. Ms. Bate said repairing the windows and refilling the extinguishers cost roughly $1,000. She did not have a dollar estimate on the elec- tronic equipment.

Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and mem- bers of regional council will grant the Freedom of the Region to the 151 Chadburn Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets at 1 p.m. The gesture is in honour of the formation of the Chadburn Squadron in con- junction with the squadron’s 60th anniver- sary reunion weekend. “It is a pleasure to be able to recognize the ac- complishments of this youth organization that promotes leadership and citizenship and has con- tributed enthusiastically to this region over the last 60 years,” said Mr. Anderson. The freedom of the munic- ipality is the highest hon- our a municipality can con- fer on a military unit and dates back to medieval times when cities were walled and military units were not welcome inside. Today the honour is given to recognize community service. The ceremony itself, however, has remained en- trenched in tradition. “We know of only two other air cadet squadrons in Canada that have been granted the freedom of the city. We’re proud to be able to grant this to Chadburn Squadron. It will be a great event for the whole fami- ly,” said Mr. Anderson. The 151 Chadburn Squadron will parade from the Whitby Community Recreation Centre to a lone drumbeat. Approximately 200 cadets and alumni will travel Rossland Road in Whitby where they will be ceremonially halted and challenged at the driveway of the Regional Headquar- ters by the Chief of Police. He will lead the command- ing officer to the headquar- ters building for a brief meeting with Mr. Ander- son, who will then pro- claim the Freedom of the Region to the squadron and present a scroll giving them the right to parade through Durham and the band per- mission to play. The chairman, along with invited dignitaries, will inspect the squadron and receive a ceremonial march past and salute be- fore the squadron marches off. Durham Regional Head- quarters is located at 605 Rossland Rd. E., in Whit- by.

Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices runs its annual residential fire safety awareness program from May 1 to September. Over the next few weeks, fire- fighters will distribute calling cards in selected neighbourhoods, providing a brief description about the ‘safe at home’ program and to give residents the chance to decide if they wish to partici- pate. In May, firefighters will can- vass neighbourhoods Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays be- tween 7 to 9 p.m., doing inspec- tions for those wanting one. “The program is designed to aid families in identifying poten- tial fire hazards in the home and to provide information on how to reduce or eliminate these haz- ards,” said Chief Randy Wilson, adding it’s free and completely voluntary. “The primary goal of this pro- gram will be an overall communi- ty effort to reduce fires, injuries and deaths within the communi- ty.” Each visit takes about 15 min- utes, with firefighters checking basements, utility rooms, storage areas, kitchens, sheds and garages for potential hazards. The homeowner or occupant will be advised of any potential hazards and methods to correct them. Firefighters will also check to ensure there’s a working smoke alarm on every level of the home, in- cluding the basement. Resi- dents will receive a safety information package. Residents can also con- tact the fire department to arrange an appointment any day or evening, year-round. For more information or to arrange an appointment, call 905- 683-3050.

The Durham health and social services com- mittee approved plans to hold meetings two evenings a week through June, lasting up to a max- imum of three hours each. Delegations will be limited to five minutes on the possible bylaw. The Region is consid- ering creating a bylaw that would encompass all of Durham that could prohibit smoking in restaurants and other work and public places. The bylaw could also include bingo halls al- though no decision has been made on the form of the bylaw. For area residents who cannot attend the meetings, there may be other options created including a voicemail box, telephone surveys and a survey on the Region’s Web site. The meetings are expected to be led by the health and so- cial services committee. Durham Region’s MPs and MPPs will also be invited to attend the various public fo- rums.

A report by Environmental Defence Cana- da, an independent watchdog group, slams OPG for its position as the number-one pol- luter in the electricity market,producing “26.7 million tonnes of air pollution over an eight- month period alone”. However, that doesn’t make it Ontario’s worst polluter, with the transportation and other industries accounting for more than 75 per cent of air contaminants. The emissions in question are primarily emitted from OPG’s five coal plants and one gas/oil generator, said OPG spokesman John Earl. “Coal fire in the OPG mix is roughly 25 per cent. We supply more than 70 per cent of electricity and our hydro-electric and nuclear plants are basically emission-free,” he said. OPG has nuclear plants in Pickering and Clar- ington. OPG is the only electricity provider that owns coal plants, noted Mr. Earl, who said it isn’t surprising the largest electricity producer by far would also be the largest polluter. OPG owns two coal plants in northern On- tario and three in southwestern Ontario. “When you compare our fossil fuel plants to neighbouring municipalities we fare favourably,” he added. Environmental Defence is calling on the Ontario government to phase-out coal-fuelled electricity production. Already, one of the OPG plants, the Lakeview Generating Station in Mississauga, must reduce its emissions to the level of a gas-generated plant in the next five years as part of a provincial government directive. “Pollution from electricity generation is a major cause of health-damaging nitrogen ox- ides, responsible for smog,” said Environmen- tal Defence Canada executive director Burkhard Mausberg. Electricity production accounts for 15 per cent of nitrogen oxides, 14 per cent of carbon dioxide equivalents, 24 per cent of sulphur dioxide and .1 per cent of volatile organic compounds, according to Environmental De- fence’s statistics. By comparison, the transportation sector accounts for 63 per cent of nitrogen oxides, six per cent of sulphur dioxides, 30 per cent of carbon dioxide equivalents and 30 per cent of volatile organic compounds. Industry ac- counts for 69 per cent of sulphur dioxide, 33 per cent of carbon dioxide equivalents, 17 per cent of nitrogen oxides and 56 per cent of volatile organic compounds. Although Environmental Defence Canada stated it obtained the data through unpub- lished government data, Mr. Earl said OPG has kept emission records “for years”. Since 2000, the Ministry of Environment has re- quired all electricity generating plants to re- port emissions.

But as the number of Canadians concerned with the negative impacts these issues are having on our health and on the environment continues to grow, more and more people are saying, “We must be heard on those issues. It’s time for all of us to take action and work towards a zero-waste planet!” Thankfully, amid all the reports of illness and destruction, there is one piece of good news: April is Earth Month. And with spring in the air, there’s a sense of renewal that accompanies it, making April the perfect month of focus on protecting our planet. Earth Month is a reminder to all of us that there are things we can do to improve the quality of our environment, health and lives. And the more we get involved, the more quickly positive changes will take place. Every voice does make a difference. Let your voice be heard by demanding that your local city council implement special bylaws to ban or at least restrict the use of pesticides, or send a message to your MP requesting that genetically modified foods be properly labeled. You can even take a more personal stance against pollution by finding out which emissions are caused by your own community and volunteer to work on various clean-up projects. You can also help protect the environment by contributing to local conservation efforts. For more information on how you can take action towards zero waste, contact the Canadian Wildlife Federation at www.wwfcanada.org or the Government of Canada at www.canada.gc.ca. Take action towards zero waste NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 19, 2002 PAGE 19 P Hospital energy focuses on conservation Rouge Valley Health System Ajax and Pick- ering hospital officials accepted a gold award for their conservation efforts Mon- day. Chief operating officer Bruce Cliff (left) was on hand to both accept the award and promote the hospital’s efforts. With Mr. Cliff is local activist and environmental columnist Larraine Roulston. BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —It’s called eco-look — you just look back before you leave a room and turn off any lights, unused com- puters and other electronic equipment. And, officials at the Rouge Valley Health System’s Ajax site say by encouraging staff to do something as simple as eco- look, the hospital can save ener- gy and an additional $12,000 a year, all while reducing green- house gas emissions. “We’re committed to green- house gas reduction,” said Glo- ria Zive, the hospital’s vice- president of support services. “We are conscious of the cli- mate change and rising energy costs at Rouge Valley. Taking care to reduce energy use and thus energy costs will not only support Canada’s commitment to the Kyoto Protocol (an agree- ment between many of the world’s developed nations to re- duce greenhouse gas emis- sions), but also help the health system’s bottom line, and that’s good for our patients.” The hospital kicked off its energy saving awareness pro- gram Monday afternoon, while at the same time celebrating a ‘gold award’for its energy man- agement action plan. Facility manager Bob Flo- rence noted the money saved will go right back into the hos- pital for more advanced and en- ergy-efficient equipment. “We’re looking at getting our greenhouse gas emissions 8.5- per cent lower than the number from 1990,” he explained. “This is an awareness program that gets everybody in the facility in- volved. We’re already at six-per cent below the projected num- bers at the Centenary site (in Scarborough); here the program is brand new, it’s fresh.” It’s the numbers they’ve al- ready reached and plans for more reductions that made Rouge Valley the first hospital corporation in Ontario to re- ceive the gold award from the Canadian government’s volun- tary challenge and registry — a program that invites organiza- tions to voluntarily limit or re- duce greenhouse gas emissions. Now, as they look to kitchen facilities first and then around the rest of the hospital for even more savings,Ajax hospital em- ployees are encouraging area residents to join them. “We’re challenging the local community to save energy while saving money,” added Ms. Zive. “They can save at home, on the road, and at work... individuals can make a difference.” News Advertiser recycling columnist Larraine Roulston ap- plauded the hospital’s efforts and reminded staff about the op- tions they have at home and work to continue energy-saving efforts. “You’ve done a wonderful job,” she said. “It’s up to us to change our daily habits and our attitudes... there are many things we can do.” Group meets to share ideas DURHAM –– The Ajax-Picker- ing Chapter of the Congress of Black Women meets tomorrow (Saturday) and you’re invited to take part. The group meets the third Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. to share ideas on community building. Call 905-420- 4840, or 905- 686-1458 for in- formation and the location. BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —A local group dedicated to offering non-medical and emotional support to individuals and their families facing life-threatening illnesses is currently facing its own un- timely demise. “Usually I come before you talking about quality of living, now I am be- fore you talking about the quality of dying here in Durham,” Hospice Durham volunteer Gayle Clow told Pickering council recently. “We are in crisis, Hospice Durham is in danger of closing down and needs your help.” Hospice Durham, which has been operating in Durham for the last 10 years, is a non-profit organization that matches volunteers with people facing critical illnesses. The group has helped over 100 peo- ple in Pickering and Ajax in the last 12 months with volunteers contributing more than 2,700 hours to the cause. Across Durham, more than 300 people have been helped in the last year as volunteers gave more than 7,800 hours of time. Volunteers provide an array of sup- port services, from help with groceries to acting as a liaison with medical pro- fessionals. “Individuals and their families should not have to face a life-threaten- ing illness alone,” Ms. Clow said. “We provide education and support to the person and their family.” Hospice Durham’s office in Whitby is run by the equivalent of 3.5 full-time employees. Ms. Clow said because of the suc- cess of the program there are more vol- unteers and more referrals than the or- ganization can handle. “It puts a greater strain on our staff,” she said. “It’s doubling their hours and they’re burning out.” She added with 30 per cent of the Durham population now over the age of 65, and more baby boomers headed there as well, the need for services is increasing. At the same time she said funding from the Ministry of Health covers only 20 per cent of costs. “We have survived on bingo, but our income is dropping because of the casinos,” she explained. Ms. Clow said Hospice Durham needs help raising at least $108,000 to cover core costs and asked council to help in lobbying the ministry for con- tinued core funding, for some regional funding, and to use whatever influence it can to push other municipalities to donate. Mayor Wayne Arthurs told Ms. Clow Pickering has budgeted for a $1,500 donation this year rather than the City’s usual $1,000. Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Holland said he would do what he could to push for more cash from the Region and area municipalities. “Hospice Durham provides a tremendous community service,” Coun. Holland said. “It must continue to be supported... we will issue a chal- lenge to the other municipalities.” Hospice Durham in need of financial care MARK HOLLAND ‘Hospice Durham provides a tremendous community service.’ Compost Give-Away!Compost Give-Away!

Party Tyme Rentals Has Everything you Need to Party! The lawn-visions of lush green carpet, of children frol- icking, of dogs playing fetch. Visions of lifeless grass, of ripped up patches from skunks and raccoons, of dan- delions and clover. Where should you begin? Establishing an action plan for the maintenance and care of the home lawn is an ideal place to start. Secondly, obtaining proper advice from garden centres that sell lawn care products will enable you to execute your action plan prop- erly. Lastly, making a “time commitment” to devote to the lawn will help you obtain the desired results. In these hectic busy lives we all lead, perhaps the care of your home lawn can be viewed as a therapeutic endeavour - a time to leave the cell phone, pager and daytimer in the house while you allow yourself an hour to spend out- side beautifying your outdoor space and reviving your spirit. The home lawn, just like the human body, needs to be nourished and fed in order to survive. Just as we need water so does your lawn - remember that those tiny blades of grass are living, growing entities - just as we need vitamins and minerals so does the lawn need fertilizer. At times when we become ill and require antibiotics to build up our immune systems, so will the home lawn require additional help in the way of lawn insecticides or herbicides to combat the serious life - zap- ping effects of lawn insects or infestations of weeds. With regular treatment your home lawn will flourish and thrive. The number one step of your home lawn maintenance plan may be the application of “Crabgrass Control” Fertilizer - apply now to eliminate the germination of seeds. Or treat the lawn to a boost after the long cold winter by applying the first dose of nutrients in the form of spring fertilizer. Soon the grass responds by “green- ing up” and actively growing. When the lawn is dry a spring raking is essential to remove debris, twigs and thatch that have accumulated since the last raking in the fall. As the days become warmer, “topdressing” the lawn with seed and soil will thicken up the existing grass and help to improve the appearance and texture. Before your first mowing check the lawn mower blades for sharpness and cleanliness; check all fluid levels and move the lawn mower from the back corner of the garage/tool shed (where lawnmowers “hiber- nate” over winter) to an easily accessible area at the front. Try not to view home lawn care as a chore but as an oppor- tunity for aerobic exercise, or a “greet and meet” with the neighbors as well as your con- tribution to beautifying not only your home but the envi- ronment. Visit us today at Pine Ridge Garden Gallery for advice on your lawn. Until next week’s column.....”Sit Back and Vision Your Garden”. Visions of The Garden Janice J.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 19, 2002 PAGE 27 P Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER APRIL 19, 2002 The Scorpion King is back and ready for action The following movies are de- buting in theatres this weekend. THE SCORPION KING Starring Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock), Steven Brand, Kelly Hu, Michael Clarke. Directed by Chuck Russell. Five thousand years ago, a ruthlessly ambitious warlord named Memnon (Steven Brand) believed he was destined to rule the scattered peoples of the desert. With an army of crude barbarians at his command, he swept across the mountains and plains, enslaving those he did not slaughter. He struck with a merciless precision that filled those who opposed him with dread because as his enemies were acutely aware, Memnon’s strategies were plotted by a seer who ad- vised him on when, where and how to attack. He never lost a battle. Only a few tribes, never nat- ural allies, stand between Mem- non and the throne. Knowing his final strike is inevitable, they grudgingly unite against their common foe by enlisting the ser- vices of Mathayus (Dwayne Johnson), a man descended from generations of Akkadian assas- sins skilled in the deadly arts, to eliminate the sorcerer and de- prive Memnon of his most dan- gerous asset. Mathayus enters a battle that demands all the cunning, courage and strength he can rouse from his powerful core. MURDER BY NUMBERS Starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Gosling, Michael Pitt, Agnes Bruckner. Directed by Barbet Schroeder. The body of a young woman is found in a ditch in the woods of the small California coastal town of San Benito. Sandra Bul- lock stars as Cassie Mayweath- er, the seasoned homicide detec- tive and crime scene specialist assigned to the case along with her new partner Sam Kennedy (Ben Chaplin). The two detectives make their way through microscopic hints of evidence, which seem to indicate a random act of vio- lence, but Cassie has a gut feel- ing that there is more to this murder than meets the eye. Something about this case re- minds her of her past exactly at a time when she is asked to appear at a parole hearing on an old po- lice matter. These events force Cassie to revisit the past. Following the evidence leads the two detectives to a young man named Richard Haywood (Ryan Gosling), whose unique pair of boots (which he reported stolen from his locker) may have been worn by the killer at the crime scene. Solving the perfect murder forces Cassie to face and free herself from the tormented past she buried long ago. LUCKY BREAK Starring James Nesbitt, Olivia Williams. Directed by Peter Cattaneo. From the director of The Full Monty comes Lucky Break, a comedy about a prison escape with a musical twist. Smalltime crook Jimmy Hands botches a bank robbery and lands in prison. Facing twelve years be- hind bars, Jimmy stages a musi- cal as Act One of his perfect es- cape plan. But it’s Act Two that’s got Jimmy stumped. Turns out his leading lady has captured his heart, and with one leg already over the wall, he’s got to come up with a new ending ... as the curtain falls fast on his freedom.

BEST PICTURE, DIRECTOR PG P L A Y LPA A C E DRIVE THRU Pickering 1099 Kingston Rd., L1V 1B5 905-831-2665 We did get quite a response to the ad last week. Our store has been lined up and the big seller is the Chocolate Xtreme. Those new DQ Chocolate Xtreme commercials on TV with Smashmouth and Republica are some of the best I’ve ever seen as well. While the Chocolate Xtreme is a big seller there are other blizzards that I have been trying. One is the Chocolate Pecan Blizzard. Add extra pecans for a real crunchy experience. Now you know about the Georgia Mud Fudge, It’s a combination of cold fudge, pecans and fudge pieces. Like the Chocolate Xtreme it is a chocolate lovers blizzard and I’m not ashamed to say that. But if you want pure chocolate and lots of pecans then this is the blizzard for you. Why?...because our FRESH Georgia pecans are some of the best tasting pecans you will ever taste. Yes this is a showcase for the great taste of fresh pecans and chocolate. I’m sampling one right now. But the final ingredient that makes this a winner is our new whipped topping called “ON TOP”. You can order it as a Chocolate Blizzard with pecans or double pecans and whipped cream. Let me tell you a bit about our whipped cream. For years we used an excellent whipped topping. It was very rich. Also you know that DQ soft serve is 95% fat free with only 5% butter fat. DQ soft serve is not only famous for it’s incredibly rich creamy taste, but it’s low fat content compared to ice cream which has to have 11% to 20% butter fat to be legally called ice cream. Well our new “ON TOP” is also much lower in fat and like the DQ soft serve still has a sweet smooth rich creamy taste. Let that red spoon slice down through the ON TOP whipped topping, then down into that blended chocolate with pecans and take a mouthful of both the topping and the blizzard mix together and you will experience a real taste sensation. Another one I have been trying is a Caramel Pecan Blizzard with ON TOP whipped topping. Again it was excellent. Try one today and see if you agree. See the coupon below and try our new “ON TOP”...”ON ME”.

Expires April 30 ,2002 Chocolate Pecan Blizzard with “ON TOP” Shelley Beach gets a ‘charge’out of her work BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —For Shelley Beach, nature is her muse. A collection of her art work, ‘learning from na- ture’, is currently on dis- play at the Pickering Nu- clear Information Centre. The paintings were done in acrylic, watercolours, and monotype styles. Studying nature and putting it to canvas is something the Pickering resident has always done. “I have a real affinity for nature,” said Beach, who has spent her last 15 sum- mers in the scenic cottage country of Haliburton. “It’s something that’s always recharged my batteries.” Beach has also been teaching watercolour class- es since early 1994 through the Pickering culture and recreation program, and for a Whitby art store. Despite the busy sched- ule, she hasn’t always been such an active artist. Beach was previously an X-ray technologist and a real es- tate agent. It was when she took on the role of staying at home to care for her two children that she began to revisit her lifelong love. “I took advantage of that time. I began to take more classes and workshops,” she said. The time she spent at home with her children served as a creative outlet, she says. Currently, she’s a full-time student at the On- tario College of Art and Design. “This is a big step going back full time,” Beach said, adding the decision was one of “personal growth. I really believe everything you do in life opens up doors.” She has another year and a half of studies left and will probably complete her thesis next year. Beach’s art has won nu- merous awards, including the Toronto Watercolour Society Award of Merit, the Ontario Arts Council exhi- bition grant 2000, and the Guild Award of Merit for watercolour. Her work has also been well-received by those at her exhibitions. Although Beach often finds buyers interested in her work, the satisfaction she derives from the paint- ings isn’t fiscal. She cites an exhibition she held in Haliburton, one of her best events yet, as an example. “That was an amazing show for me,” she remem- bered. A painting of a red canoe, a well-known land- mark in the town, was sold immediately. “I could have sold that painting 20 times more, but what’s the point? I would never do the same painting.” Beach said it’s the cre- ative process that makes the work rewarding. “It’s therapeutic. People say ‘it must be so relaxing’, but, you know, it’s not like that at all,” she explained. “It’s a lot of work, it’s very demanding. I find after working on a piece out in nature for two to three hours it’s quite exhausting. It’s exhausting and it’s en- ergizing at the same time.” ‘Learning from nature’ continues at the informa- tion centre until May 17.

SPRING SHOES ARRIVING PICKERING —The death earlier this month of a longtime volunteer in Pick- ering’s sporting community has left a huge void. Maurice Silcock, a tire- less worker for both the Pickering Hockey Associa- tion (PHA) and the Picker- ing Baseball Association (PBA), died April 3 while playing a game of old- timers hockey with the Malvern Men’s League. He was 50. Silcock served both the PHA and the PBA as the vice-president of house league play. He was a PHA volunteer for at least seven years, spending at least five years with the PBA. In the PHA, Silcock had organized the entire house league season last year, from soliciting volunteers for coaching positions, to running the draft, to super- vising the team balancing exercise, to patrolling the rinks on Sundays. In addition, he coached for several years, revamped the playoff structure for this season and organized and ran the PHA’s annual house league tournament between Christmas and New Year’s. “Maurice was a very special and well-respected person in both the Pickering sports community and in his business life. The likes of him will never be re- placed,” said Tom Clouti- er, the PHA’s vice-presi- dent of hockey develop- ment. Added PHA president Steve Morgan: “It was my privilege to have known Maurice Silcock. As a member of the Pickering Hockey Association board of directors, he was an ex- tremely hard-working and dedicated volunteer who was a leader, not a follow- er. Maurice has been a part of our organization for many years, and spent countless hours coaching and helping the youth of our community. The many young people who attended his visitation was a testa- ment to the respect and ad- miration that Maurice is held under by any player who was fortunate to have played for him.” After the hockey season ended, Silcock switched sports and put his efforts into helping the PBA where he served as the house league director and as a coach for several years. He also helped in rep girls’soc- cer within the Pickering Soccer Club. Silcock is survived by his wife, Lesley Ann, daughter Erin and son, Brandon.

Situated on two major migration routes, known as the Mississippi and Atlantic fly- ways, Manitoba has the advantage of attract- ing birds from both east and west. Birders might see whiskey jacks from the boreal for- est region, meadowlarks from the prairies, herons from the lakeshores, and sandpipers from the north, depending on where they travel in the province. The northern Manitoba port of Churchill is often associated with whales and polar bears but also offers stellar birding opportu- nities. Cape Merry National Historic Site at the mouth of the Churchill River is a popular stop for sea ducks, eiders, oldsquaw ducks, jaegers, scoters and Pacific loons. Further in- land, birders can see Arctic terns and Bona- parte’s gulls. About 40 kilometres north of downtown Winnipeg, Oak Hammock Marsh earns its reputation as one of the best bird-viewing sites in North America. Home to 260 vari- eties of birds, as well as assorted mammals and reptiles, the marsh features an excellent interpretive centre with an impressive array of family-oriented activities. Great blue herons, American white peli- cans, bobolinks and short-eared owls have been observed. Right in Winnipeg, the Fort Whyte Nature Centre has 27 species of waterfowl, and thousands of migrating ducks and geese in the spring and fall. Evening goose landings at both Oak Hammock and Fort Whyte in October are amazing as skein after skein of geese descend on the lakes. Self-guided trails lead through replicas of seven Manitoba wet- land habitats, where floating boardwalks provide excellent sightlines. To the east, birding havens like the Wild Wings Trail in Grand Beach Provincial Park draw ospreys, eagles, western grebes, yel- low-headed and red-winged blackbirds and majestic blue herons. West of the Manitoba capital is Delta Marsh, home of the University of Manitoba’s Field Research Station and 130 species of birds. During the migration season, in May and September, as many as 300 different va- rieties of birds may visit the marsh. Another birder’s choice is Riding Moun- tain National Park, 95 kilometres north of Brandon in Manitoba’s scenic parkland re- gion. Here, more than 260 varieties of birds are seen, including the bald eagle, great grey owl and peregrine falcon. Travel Manitoba’s 46-page Great Outdoor Adventure Guide includes many more wildlife viewing options, as well as helpful information on hiking, biking, horseback rid- ing and other active, outdoor adventures. To order your free copy of the guide and for more information about birding and other ad- venture travel opportunities, call Travel Man- itoba at 1-866-MANITOBA or visit www.travelmanitoba.com. — News Canada Several bird species can be spotted at various locations in and around Winnipeg, Manitoba.
