BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––James Poland was provoked into bludgeoning his wife with an axe, a jury has decided in finding the Ajax father guilty of manslaughter. Mr. Poland, 38, stood with his hands clasped as eight men and four women on the jury returned the verdict at 7:20 p.m. Wednesday, after deliberating for five hours. As he was told by the foreman he was found not guilty of second-degree murder as charged, but guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter, an emotional Mr. Poland lowered his head into his hands. The verdict spared the father of three an automat- ic life sentence. Court heard Mr. Poland struck his common-law wife Andrea Schneider, 38, in the head with an axe twice inside the garage of their Perfitt Crescent home during a heated confrontation the morning of June 7, 2001. Mr. Poland hid his wife’s bloody body, the weapon and other evidence in the trunk of the fami- ly Oldsmobile, which he parked a block away at the Durham Centre shopping plaza at Harwood Avenue and Hwy. 2. He later enlisted friend Carlos Almeida to dispose of the body and car. Instead, his pal phoned police, court heard. Mr. Poland, 38, admitted killing Ms. Schneider but claimed the defence of provocation. He testified he “snapped, lost it” after his wife hit him with a plastic hockey stick, kicked him in the groin, hurled insults and revealed she was having an affair with a New York businessman and planned to leave him. She would take their sons, John-Michael, 12, and Thomas, six, and Mr. Poland could keep their se- verely disabled daughter, Stephanie, who suffers WHO’S PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN?

General Motors of Canada con- firmed Wednesday the new 2004 Ponti- ac Grand Prix will be assembled at its No. 2 car plant in Oshawa. Production begins this fall. “In June 2000, we announced that the next generation Pontiac mid-size car would be built in Oshawa,” said GM of Canada president Michael Grimaldi. “Since that time, the Oshawa car assem- bly plants have set the standard for vehi- cle quality and productivity in this in- dustry. “Oshawa Number 2 won the Gold Plant Award in the 2002 J.D. Power Ini- tial Quality Study and Oshawa Number 1 placed first in the 2002 Harbour Re- port as the most productive plant in North America. With achievements like this and Pontiac’s performance heritage, the new Pontiac Grand Prix is destined for success.” GM Canada spokesman Richard James said the Grand Prix would be the first Pontiac product built in Oshawa since the 1960s. He also said it would allow the No. 2 car plant to maintain its current level of employment, but could mean more jobs in the future. “We’re optimistic the vehicle will be successful,” he said. “If things go very well and the demand for the vehicle is there, we do have the flexibility at that plant to increase capacity.” The No. 2 plant will continue to as- semble the Buick Century and Buick Regal. In June 2000, GM of Canada an- nounced it would invest almost $300 million to bring a new Pontiac passenger car to Oshawa. CAW Local 222 car plant chairman Jim Hoy said the move “will secure that much more work for us,” he said.

Married to the provincial budget act, which passed late Thursday, the act formally estab- lishing Durham’s first university as a legal entity cleared the legis- lature — on the last day of the spring session. An “ecstatic” Gary Polonsky, UOIT and Durham College president, said it was “a beautiful, important day” for Durham and Northumberland residents. “In Ontario and Canada, every university has an act pertaining to it that is passed in the legislature and contains language about its mission and governance, all kinds of stuff,” he explained in an interview. “Until that happens, one is really not a grown-up univer- sity, one is kind of like an embryo. And if we put our- selves in the shoes of top students graduating a year from now, and they had to choose between estab- lished, top-notch universities, why would they take a chance on one that doesn’t even have its fundamentals yet?” Mr. Polonsky said the same ap- plies to profes- sors, university donors and re- search opportuni- ties: without the act, the UOIT would have a credibility prob- lem. But with its passing, he said the university is immediately on par with the Uni- versity of Toronto and other respect- ed institutions across Canada. He gave credit to Finance Minis- ter Janet Ecker for incorporating the UOIT act into the budget act. “This is a bril- liant strategy for which I credit Janet Ecker; it was her idea,” said Mr. Polonsky. The UOIT act could have passed in December, but did not receive all- party assent to skip ahead to third reading. Even its passing in the shortened spring session seemed in question. Mr. Polonsky at the time was “cautiously confident” it would pass this time around, but said if it didn’t, UOIT would not be ready to play its part in easing student con- gestion as a result of the ‘double co- hort’in 2003. That’s when Ontario’s OAC and Grade 12 students gradu- ate at the same time, creating an ex- pected glut of students seeking en- trance to colleges and universities. “Now the whole world knows we will be up and running in a year’s time, as we said we would be,” he said Thursday.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 28, 2002 How well are you being served by your local government representa- tives? Are municipal councillors respon- sive to your needs? Does your local school trustee return calls and dis- cuss your concerns knowledgeably? Have you been adequately informed about development in your neigh- bourhood, or changes at your son or daughter’s school? Your vote is the only one that counts on election day, but the News Advertiser shares its views in today’s edition with our annual report card on municipal politicians and public and Catholic school board trustees. These men and women put their names forward as candidates in 2000 to solicit your support. In the inter- vening 19 months, much has hap- pened on their watch and much can be determined about their approach, their successes and their effective- ness. That scrutiny, by the voters and a free press, is an important element of a democratic society. Once again, our elected represen- tatives are being asked the question on behalf of voters:Are city residents being served? The answer, in most cases, is a clear affirmative. At Pickering council, Mayor Wayne Arthurs continues to provide quiet and effective leadership. He is articulate, knowledgeable and brings dignity to the chair, while continuing to exert influence locally and region- ally through his experience and keen awareness of important issues that affect Pickering and Durham. Pickering’s regional representa- tives remain at or near the top of their games. Councillor Maurice Brenner is an effective, active and outspoken repre- sentative who led the initiative for a successful waste roll-cart pilot pro- ject in the Amberlea community. Councillor Mark Holland contin- ues to be effective in representing local interests at City Hall and re- gional interests at Durham council. He is informed, connected and vocal and doesn’t back down. He should continue to ably serve residents. Councillor Rick Johnson, who represents rural constituents in north Pickering, is still the single-minded and active representative he’s always been. He’s big on waste management and a proponent of the benefits of Hwy. 407, but raised eyebrows last year with a personal road develop- ment project on his Pickering proper- ty. He clearly miscalculated the reac- tion the project would stir in the com- munity and subsequently had to di- vert attention from local issues when he and the City were sued by the Township of Uxbridge over the work. Coun. Johnson counter-sued and the controversy currently sits before the courts. We encourage Coun. Johnson to get past this episode and turn his full concentration and energy to im- portant issues facing his community. Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan still brings a quiet and effective presence to council. He remains in- formed and decisive while giving constituents good value for their money. He stood up on behalf of all charities during his support of an ill- advised decision to ban poppy sales at Pickering Library branches last year. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean has maintained good grades and provided decent representation in the second year of his first term. His professional background helps him bring a unique perspective to the table. We look forward to a more ef- fective third year. Ward 3’s David Pickles continues to be on guard for environmental is- sues in his rural area and beyond and has been an important voice regard- ing the airport lands and develop- ment in the area. He’s knowledgeable and accessible and serves his con- stituents well. At the regional helm, Durham chairman Roger Anderson continues to be the area’s top salesman at provincial, federal and international levels. He helped marshal support for the experimental ITER project in Bowmanville and went abroad earli- er this year to sell Canada’s bid in Moscow. He was also a strong advo- cate for getting the new university in Durham. Mr. Anderson’s steady lead- ership and familiar face are exactly what the Region needs right now. Pickering residents continue to be well served at the Durham Catholic District School Board. Trustee Jim McCafferty’s practi- cal and no-nonsense approach is al- ways rooted in his belief in repre- senting students and parents and he isn’t afraid to take an opposing view, even if it’s unpopular. Trustee Fran Pereira remains en- gaged and committed to Catholic principles at the board level and in the community. She’s an excellent representative with an excellent record. Voters are fortunate to have her working on their behalf. At the Durham District School Board, too many important issues are not being given the attention they de- serve as trustees argue constantly over issues not related to educating our children. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford is still wasting energy and time on procedural rules at the board table while the Durham board continues to struggle, for example, with a sub- stantial shortfall in special-education funding. Mr. Crawford rarely con- tributes meaningful ideas at the table, or shares his knowledge with a view to improving the system. Jennifer Bridge arrived at the board table as a bit of a novelty in 2000. Elected while still a high school student, she showed some promise in her first year by becoming engaged in the process and trying to learn the issues. However, she ap- pears disinterested at board meetings and seems to have lost the energy she brought to the table last year. Though she continues to vote sensibly, it’s unfortunate she hasn’t lived up to that earlier promise. Taken as a whole, Pickering has been well represented in the last half of 2001 and first half of 2002. The few who have disappointed still have time to educate themselves, take leadership roles and adequately rep- resent their constituents and commu- nities. Everyone, though, must con- tinue to provide dedicated and innov- ative leadership as this term of gov- ernment winds down in the next year. Voters, you’ll remember, have the final say in November 2003. To the editor: The weekend of March 9 and 10 my husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. That same weekend a terrible tragedy oc- curred three kilometres from our Claremont home. Two-year-old Alexis Currie was murdered and left in a bushy area on Westney Road. This hit many people hard and although we do not know the Currie family, we have grandchildren close to the same age as Alexis and her sister Robin. Several times we drove with heavy hearts to the area where Alexis was found. After the danger of frost was over, I went and placed a large beautiful plant with pink blooms and ribbons well off to the side of the road. About 10 days later, I went to water the plant and it was gone. I hope whoever stole it realizes it was placed there in memory of Alexis.

Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com from a rare terminal dis- ease, Mr. Poland quoted Ms. Schneider as saying. “I think you’ve arrived at the proper verdict in this case, thank you,” Mr. Jus- tice Robert Scott told the jury before discharging them. Three hours into their deliberations, the jury asked for clarification on the legal definition of provocation. Judge Scott instructed them to return a manslaugh- ter verdict if they found Mr. Poland was provoked into a blind rage by a series of “wrongful acts or insults,” and that he swung the axe without any time for his “passion to cool.” “Where there is a num- ber of insults or wrongful acts, it may be the straw that broke the camel’s back,” the judge said. Defence lawyer Lorne Sabsay said the verdict was “just.” Mr. Poland had offered to plead guilty to manslaughter prior to the trial. “Mr. Poland has always been willing to take responsibility for the death of his wife. It’s some- thing that he re- grets to this day and probably will forever,” he said. The lawyer said Mr. Poland deeply loves Ms. Schneider and wishes he could turn back time and change what happened June 7. “He has a pic- ture of her in his cell that he looks at every day,” he said. Renate Schneider-Sand- ford, Ms. Schnei- der’s mother, was too distraught to comment on the verdict. The Burling- ton woman and her husband are now raising the couple’s two sons, who were inside the home when their mother was killed, court heard. Eight-year-old Stephanie, who has Batten Disease, lives at a Pickering group home. Whitby Jail officials have allowed the child, who is blind and can’t walk or talk, to have occasional vis- its with Mr. Poland, Mr. Sabsay said. Mr. Poland worked as a butcher and a window washer before becoming a stay-at-home father five years ago, after his daugh- ter’s illness struck. Ms. Schneider worked as secretary to the Royal On- tario Museum board of trustees. The jury was not told Mr. Poland has a prior criminal record, which included a conviction for assaulting a previous girlfriend in 1992 as well as drug and property offences that go back 20 years. Judge Scott also ruled statements Mr. Poland made to detectives after his arrest inadmissible, saying the ac- cused’s right to remain silent was violated. During interrogation, Mr. Poland initially blamed his wife’s death on a man, who he couldn’t identify by name, who showed up at their home June 7. He eventually confessed during the six-hour police interview. “I was having a really bad day,” Mr. Poland testi- fied during a pretrial mo- tion, while describing his state of mind on June 7. While in custody at po- lice headquarters after his arrest, Mr. Poland three times asked officers the score of a hockey playoff game. Court heard Ms. Schnei- der suffered two blows of tremendous force to the head, which crushed her face and skull, and split open her forehead. Prosecutors Michael Hill and Tom Hewitt portrayed Mr. Poland as a cold, calcu- lating killer who intended to murder his wife then “me- thodically” tried to cover up the crime. However, Mr. Sabsay said his client simply pan- icked when he realized Ms. Schneider was dead and spent the day “flying by the seat of his pants.” A date for Mr. Poland’s sentencing hearing will be set Thursday.

Attendance: In Pickering, attended 25/25 special council, 19/19 council, 12/12 committee of the whole, 8/8 planning, 2/3 fi- nance, 4/4 operations, and 5/5 finance and operations committee meetings; regionally, attended 14/14 council, and 12/12 planning committee. Expenses: Pickering — $20,028; Region — $5,191.13 Committees: Chairman regional plan- ning committee, development charges com- plaint committee, regional transit task force, Ajax/Pickering Transit Authority, Durham Non-Profit Housing Corporation, Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities, and Veridian Corporation. Most important issues facing the city:I will be providing leadership in three key areas during the coming year. The first being to ensure our financial house remains in good order. Slowed growth has created new challenges in managing our revenue and ex- penditure streams to provide quality services and protect municipal assets. Secondly, fu- ture growth management is a big part of our go-forward agenda. Thirdly, our recently completed ‘recreation, parks and cultural services master plan’ requires careful re- view, public consultation and planning for effective implementation in the years ahead. News Advertiser’s comments:Picker- ing council works and Mayor Arthurs is a big part of the reason why. He has continued to be an effective leader because of his good rapport with City staff and councillors and does not get mired in personal battles at the table. He has become an important voice at the municipal, regional, provincial and fed- eral levels on nuclear issues and the plans for an airport and provincial land holdings in north Pickering. Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan This year: B Last year: B Serving his third term. Attendance: Attended 24/25 special council, 18/19 council, 11/12 committee of the whole, 7/8 planning, 4/4 operations, and 5/5 finance and operations. Expenses: $5,917 Committees: Chairman of Advisory Committee on Race Relations and Equity, Pickering Ajax Citizens Together (PACT) li- aison, audit committee, public library board member, Toronto Region Conservation Au- thority (TRCA) representative, Rouge Park Alliance representative, Durham police ser- vices liaison committee, site plan committee member, budget committee member. Most important issues facing the city: The most important issues facing council in the balance of this term are growth and fi- nancial management. We need to develop and execute an overall growth management strategy that protects environmentally sensi- tive lands and optimizes the use of devel- opable lands, including a defined industrial corridor along Hwy. 407. There is a pent up demand for recreational and cultural facili- ties that cannot be accomplished on the cur- rent tax structure. In addition, we have an urgent requirement for new infrastructure. These objectives can only be accomplished with an expanded tax base with a much larg- er industrial and commercial component. News Advertiser’s comments:Coun. Ryan gives his constituents the most bang for their buck. His expenses are low and his involvement and understanding of important issues facing the City are high. Despite be- coming the lightning rod for the Pickering library board poppy issue late last year, Coun. Ryan stood his ground and fought for equal treatment of all charities and fund- raising groups. He doesn’t vote unless he understands an issue and trusts his col- leagues for input on their wards. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean This year: B Last year: B Serving his first term. Attendance: Attended 23/25 special council, 18/19 council, 12/12 committee of the whole, 8/8 planning, 4/4 operations, and 5/5 finance and operations. Expenses: $11,273 Committees: Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Joint Animal Control, civic awards selection committee, site plan committee, Liverpool West Community Association. Most important issues facing the city: Finding places for appropriate residential and industrial growth in the city. Ensuring environmentally sensitive areas in the growth management study will be protected and land that is developable, developed. While Pickering residents have enjoyed a decade of zero-per cent tax increases, that has also resulted in road and infrastructure disrepair, which must be addressed immedi- ately. We must find money for these pro- jects. I believe there is room for future com- mercial growth in the Hwy. 407 corridor. I will continue to support appropriate and compatible uses for our waterfront. News Advertiser’s comments:Coun. McLean has gotten to know his way around council this year, as evidenced by his work on the animal shelter issue that culminated in council approving a move away from the current system to a joint two-municipality operation with Ajax, pending its interest. He is not as talkative at the table as some of his colleagues, but his background as a former police officer and current vocation as a real estate agent helps him continue to bring a unique and informed perspective to many is- sues. The News Advertiser looks forward to watching Coun. McLean grab the reins and run with them a bit more now that his com- fort level is higher. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles This year: B+ Last year: B+ Serving second term. Attendance: Attended 23/25 special council, 18/19 council, 9/12 committee of the whole, 5/8 planning, 3/4 operations, and 3/5 finance and operations. Expenses: $9,899 Committees: Budget committee, Pickering Public Library Board, advance funding alloca- tions committee, personnel committee, site plan committee, Glen Major management plan advisory committee, Rouge Park Neighbour- hood Advisory Committee, Ajax-Pickering In- terim Amalgamated Transit Board, Ajax-Pick- ering Police Liaison Committee, and City of Pickering Museum advisory committee. Most important issues facing the city: Moving ahead with improvements such as family change rooms at the recreation com- plex; continuing to enhance our waterfront; the new ice pad at Don Beer Area; and parks and playground upgrades. More recreational op- portunities for families,youths and seniors. Ad- dressing public safety for residents through a new fire station on Brock Road, road improve- ments, new sidewalks, and pedestrian and park safety measures. Ensuring growth, particularly to the north,is guided by the City and residents’ desire for vibrant and safe neighbourhoods in which to live, work, and play and our desire to preserve green spaces. News Advertiser’s comments:Coun. Pickles is committed to representing the inter- ests of his Ward 3 constituents, which include protecting the environment and the rural way of life. His continued battle for a say in the devel- opment of an airport in north Pickering should prove important for residents who want a voice on the future of the skies above the municipality. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner This year: A- Last year: B+ Fourth term as a regional councillor after two terms as local representative for Ward 1. Attendance: In Pickering, attended 25/25 special council, 18/19 council, 12/12 committee of the whole, 8/8 planning, 2/3 fi- nance, and 5/5 finance and operations; re- gionally, attended 13/14 council and 11/14 health and social services committee meet- ings. Expenses: Pickering — $11,858; Region — $5,714.59 Committees: Chairman audit committee, co-chairman Ajax Pickering Transit Author- ity, Ajax Pickering Partnership/Efficiencies Committee, Canadian Urban Transit Associ- ation, Region of Durham children’s advo- cate, Durham Child Poverty Task Force, Durham health and social services commit- tee, president Durham Region Municipal Non-Profit Housing Corporation, board of directors Durham Region Local Housing Corporation, Durham Region transit co-co- ordinating committee, Durham Regional transit task force, Durham Region Home- lessness Committee, Regional chairman’s committee on affordable/sustainable hous- ing. Most important issues facing the city: Creating less dependency on a residential tax base by promoting office and other com- mercial development by developing more employment uses and private and public partnerships on infrastructure projects such as building an enclosed walkway over Hwy. 401 linking downtown Pickering to the GO station. Dealing with the increased impact on property taxation by finding greater effi- ciencies and cost savings through shared services and joint ventures among Durham municipalities. Changing the mindset from waste management to resource management by building on the Amberlea pilot cart pro- gram to achieve a waste-diversion target in excess of 60 to 70 per cent. News Advertiser’s comments:Coun. Brenner likes to say he’s on a roll and the News Advertiser agrees. He helped bring waste diversion to the residents of Amber- lea, a growth management study to north Pickering, and aided residents in getting in- formation about two pedophiles living in the city. He is clearly one of the most active and informed members of council, committed to his constituents and all of the City’s resi- dents. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland This year: A- Last year: B+ Serving his first term as a regional coun- cillor after one term as Ward 2 local coun- cillor. Attendance:In Pickering, attended 25/25 special council, 19/19 council, 12/12 committee of the whole, 8/8 planning, 3/3 fi- nance, and 5/5 finance and operations; re- gionally, attended 13/14 council, and 15/15 finance and administration committee. Expenses:Pickering — $11,813; Region — $4,526.17 Committees:Chairman Waterfront Co- ordinating Committee, chairman Pickering Winterfest, chairman Youth Partnership Ini- tiative, Durham finance and administration committee, Canadian Association of Nu- clear Host Communities, Business Advisory Centre of Durham personnel committee, Pickering Public Library Board, Rouge Park News Advertiser Municipal Report Card June 2002 PICKERING Grades Achievement of Expectations A- to A+Excellent, best among peers B- to B+Solid performance, moves fair share of motions C- to C+Fair, only average in most categories D- to D+Weak, not up to the task, not effective, not accessible F Awful, shouldn’t be there. In what has become a yearly tradition, the News Advertiser offers its opinion on the performance of our municipally-elected officials and of the Durham Regional chairman. Our assessment is based not only on their performance at public meetings and functions, but on the feedback we receive from the public during the course of reporting on local issues. See PICKERING page 9 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 28, 2002 PAGE 9 P Alliance audit committee, Durham ad-hoc committee on the selection of the regional chairman, Congress of New Urbanism, Pickering liaison Social Development Coun- cil of Ajax-Pickering. Most important issues facing the city: Future development of Pickering — the ac- tions we take today will determine if we sprawl into meandering and unconnected subdivisions or evolve into a self-sufficient, connected community with a clear sense of identity. We must focus upon urban renewal and employment opportunities and reject residential green space development that will compound servicing, traffic and envi- ronmental issues. Make our existing urban context work first, while focusing upon our niche strengths such as our waterfront, pro- tection of our vast and naturally spectacular rural areas and utilization of the Hwy. 407 corridor for employment and industrial op- portunities. News Advertiser’s comments:Coun. Holland is never short of opinions on impor- tant issues, but they usually have a factual base. Informed, active, a natural leader, Coun. Holland is up on all issues municipal- ly, regionally, provincially, federally, and even globally. He plays a unique role in bringing Pickering to the world and the world to Pickering in both promoting the city and in bringing forward motions to show Pickering is a player on a larger stage. His refusal to back away from a battle with the Pickering Harbour Company over water- front redevelopment shows his commitment to his constituents. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson This year: B- Last year: B+ Serving his fourth term as a regional councillor after one term as a local represen- tative. Attendance: In Pickering, attended 22/25 special council, 17/19 council, 12/12 committee of the whole, 7/8 planning, 2/3 fi- nance, and 3/5 finance and operations; re- gionally, attended 13/14 council, and 14/16 works. Expenses:Pickering — $9,665; Region — $5,618.06 Committees: Chairman Ontario Traffic Conference, Pickering hydro commissioner, Veridian board of directors, chairman Pick- ering site plan committee, chairman of Cen- tral Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, Pickering committee of adjustment, chair- man Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Con- trol, chairman of Durham Mobility Study, chairman of Durham public works, chair- man of Durham waste management, Durham Non-Profit Housing, Ontario Con- servation Foundation, development charges committee. Most important issues facing the city: Safe and clean drinking water is the number- one priority. Planning and protecting our en- vironment is number two. Keeping our roads safe, our hydro rates low, our taxes at a rea- sonable rate, our communities safe from do- mestic violence, and access to parks and fa- cilities for all to enjoy. Waste management is on the verge of a new direction here in Durham. We all must be willing to accept a new collection system to attempt to divert as much waste from landfill as possible. News Advertiser comments:Despite a legal dispute with both the City and Town- ship of Uxbridge in regards to roadwork at his north Pickering property, Coun. Johnson remains mostly committed to his job. How- ever, he would have been more active and ef- fective if those problems hadn’t distracted him from duties and demands regarding council business. Coun. Johnson represents his constituents well, but would serve them even more effectively without the spectre of this legal battle still in the spotlight. Roger Anderson Regional Chairman This year: B Last year: B Attendance:14/14 regional council, 6/14 health and social services, 8/12 plan- ning committee, 11/16 works committee, 13/15 finance and administration committee Expenses: $36,919.42 Committees: GO Transit Board, Associ- ation of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) vice-president, AMO ambulance implemen- tation steering committee co-chairman, Iter Canada, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, Durham Children’s Aid Soci- ety, Junior Achievement of Durham Region, all regional standing committees. Important issues:Several opportunities are within Durham’s grasp - the ITER bid, the University and the Transit Task Force Report all offer great potential. Issues of concern include: rising costs of the 401 in- terchanges, funding for needed regional in- frastructure and passage of the UOIT Act. Working actively as part of the Pickering Airport Committee, implementing a waste management solution by January 2003 and responding to the Walkerton Inquiry recom- mendations are also key challenges for the coming months. News Advertiser’s comments:Chair- man Anderson has weathered a year during which his role on council has been under scrutiny and some members of his council have put his authority to the test. The chair- man is a bit of a scrapper, unafraid to state his opinion regardless of whether it will be popular with those who appointed him. While it is good to have a strong voice at the helm, the chairman could sometimes benefit from a less confrontational, more co-opera- tive approach with members of council. The chairman is a firm supporter of a borderless regional transit system and of the new Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology. He has lent his support to the bid to bring the ITER fusion research facility to Durham, creating a delegation that successfully repre- sented the community in Moscow this spring. As well, he has worked to get himself plugged in at the provincial level and inter- municipally through participation on provin- cial boards and at the Association of Munic- ipalities. Durham District School Board — Pickering Trustees • Attendance is from June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2002, when 10 standing committee and 12 board meetings were held. • Mileage, conference, telephone and other expenses are from the past year, start- ing in June 2001. • Summaries of the ‘most important is- sues facing the board’ were based on sub- missions from trustees. • Committee membership may include both school board and other education-re- lated positions. Paul Crawford This year: F Last year: F Note: Trustee Crawford did not fully participate in the report cards. Serving second term as a trustee. Attendance: Attended 10/10 standing committee and 11/12 board meetings. Expenses: $2,373.71 Committees: A member of the expulsion and expulsion appeal committees; and fi- nance and transportation liaison to board staff. Most important issues facing the board:“Trustee Paul Crawford, as have all the trustees, has more than fulfilled the obligations as outlined in the Education Act.” News Advertiser comments:At his im- perious best at a recent board meeting, re- sponding to an unsolicited comment from the gallery with, “I want that woman re- moved.” Often the culprit when trustees go off course, as in a pointless debate about how meeting minutes should be recorded. Trustee Crawford proposed a committee to interpret what the Education Act means by full and complete recording. Continues to beat the student smoking horse, not to death, but to pulp. Defended and expected taxpay- ers to cover the $8,000-plus legal bill some trustees incurred for outside legal advice. Uses his knowledge of the rules of proce- dure not to help the board but as a stick in the wheel spokes, though he is often correct. Jennifer Bridge This year: D Last year: C+ Note: Did not respond to numerous re- quests for report card information. Serving first term as a trustee. Attendance: Attended 10/10 standing committee and 9/12 board meetings. Expenses: None. Committees: Member of board bargain- ing team for high school teachers; and eth- nocultural, growth and development and board expulsion committees. Most important issues facing the board:None submitted. News Advertiser comments:You can’t blame Trustee Bridge for being bored at some of the tedious discussions that take place during public meetings, but nodding off, on more than one occasion, is unaccept- able. During the accommodation plan process, supported the Valley View Public School community’s campaign to avoid clo- sure. Also during that process, said the board didn’t have the money to sustain small schools, stating then-education minister Janet Ecker was the one closing schools, not the board. Rarely makes a comment during debates, but continues to vote sensibly.

Jim McCafferty This year: B+ Last year: B+ Serving fourth term as a trustee. Attendance:Attended 21/21 board meet- ings. Expenses: $1,017.42 News Advertiser comments:Chairman of the special education advisory committee and the board’s negotiating teams for the As- sociation of Professional Student Services personnel; vice-chairman of the joint ser- vices committee and Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association youth awards committee; a member of the board’s ele- mentary and secondary teachers’negotiating teams; and expulsion and suspension ap- peals committees. Most important issues facing the board:Ministry funding issues include in- adequacies in special-education classifica- tion, ongoing curriculum changes, textbooks for all students; student transportation — in- sufficient funding, rising costs and limited sharing of busing; and overcrowding in our schools. Preparing students for successful entrance into colleges and the workplace; and ensuring placements for our 2003 grad- uates. Accountability to the community and within the board. News Advertiser’s comments:He claimed parents have said the roughly PICKERING from page 8 See PICKERING page 10 $2,500 spent on a plaque to commemorate a school opening would be better spent in the classroom. Boy- cotted the trustee seminar near Orillia, describing it as “a waste of money that could be used elsewhere.” He had a point in that — all but one of the presenters were board staff and, in one case, a fellow trustee. Fran Pereira This year: A Last year: A Serving third term on the board. Attendance: Attended 21/21 board meetings. Expenses: $5,175.46 Committees: Vice-chair- man of the board (December 2000 to Nov. 30, 2001); chairman of policy commit- tee; member of the terms and conditions for employ- ment for principals, vice- principals and other staff; expulsion, archdiocesan- board liaison and the Catholic School Council handbook development committees; mentor for stu- dent representatives on the board of trustees; trustee representative on the Re- gional Catholic School Council and the Student Council Presidents’commit- tee; Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association repre- sentative for Region 10; and member and representative on other OCSTA commit- tees. Most important issues facing the board:Adequate funding continues to chal- lenge trustees, in particular for special education and in- creased transportation, heat- ing and electricity costs. Also, although we have had many computer initiatives in recent years, many of our student computers now re- quire upgrading. Continuing to work with our provincial association, OCSTA, during the Ministry of Education funding review to address these and other board fund- ing requirements. News Advertiser’s com- ments:Probably Durham Region’s most engaged trustee, Trustee Pereira’s in- volvement in Catholic edu- cation at the local and provincial level is extensive. She was uncomfortable with a peer’s suggestion the board take interest from a re- serve fund, warning trustees would be entering “danger- ous waters” if they started tinkering with the budget. She claims provincial test scores are “not valid” be- cause the same students are not tested year after year. When Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty entered the Marc Hall fray, appealing to the board “as a Catholic” in sup- port of the gay student, Trustee Pereira said he “did Catholics a disservice and he did politicians a disser- vice”.

Environmental assessment on highway extension to begin BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Durham com- muters could be sitting in traffic for another eight years awaiting Hwy. 407 east of Brock Road. An environmental assessment is about to get under way but won’t be complete until the end of 2004, the Durham Region works committee learned Wednesday. With added time for ministry ap- proval, any required land acquisition and construction, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson estimated it could be 2010 before anyone is driving on the new highway, an alternative to Hwy. 401. That timeline is “completely unac- ceptable,” said Chairman Anderson, especially since the Region partici- pated in a contentious, costly and time-consuming environmental as- sessment process back in 1994 and already determined a technically pre- ferred route, he added. “This is a joke. It’s absolutely 100- per cent unacceptable. I can’t believe all the work we did in the early 1990s. “It was a total waste of taxpayers’ money,” Mr. Anderson said. Fred Leech, manager of provincial and environmental planning with the Ministry of Transportation, said the original EA was never filed with the Ministry of Environment (MOE). Also, given the timeframe since the study was conducted, priorities may have changed and the plan must be re-visited. “We will use as much as possible from the previous study,” Mr. Leech said. However, the process can’t be fast- tracked despite the information al- ready available because there must be consultation with the public, affected municipalities and other stakehold- ers. Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt asked if, at the very least, the section between Brock Road and Hwy. 12 could be taken in isolation and con- structed sooner. “I don’t know how these people who live there are going to survive another eight years,” he said. “Hwy. 12 to Brock Road has to be looked at faster.” He said it was an internal mistake at the Ministry of Transportation that the 1994 environmental assessment was shelved. It is the ministry’s re- sponsibility to “go back and fix it,” he said. Mr. Leech said dividing the pro- ject into chunks is problematic be- cause then further studies have to be conducted to determine how traffic coming on and off the highway at those junctures will be managed. The EA study will look at route designation and property protection including through environmentally sensitive areas such as the Oak Ridges Moraine but will not be an implementation plan, Mr. Leech said. The design for the highway will follow MOE approval of the EA after it is filed in December 2004. The provincial assessment will be done in tandem with a federal assessment, he said. The public will have a chance to have its say at meetings to be held at four locations throughout the Region to be announced at a future date. The terms of reference for the study will be complete by winter, 2003 with the actual study expected to begin in that fall.

But today, it’s not so sim- ple. With the high-strung na- ture of global competition, crops can be hurt by much more than mere drought or hail. Agriculture is one of Canada’s most valuable and fragile industries. And with the new Farm Bill launched in the United States May 13 by American President George W. Bush, farmers south of the border will be able to offer their pro- duce at cheaper prices than Canadian farmers, even in Canada. As a result, the fed- eral government says it now has an answer to Canadian farmers’call for help. Its new agricultural policy frame- work (APF) intends to assist the industry with $5.2 billion over the next six years. And with provincial participation, the number could exceed $8 billion. “It’s a crucial time for Canadian farmers who are faced with unfair competition prompted by the recent pass- ing of the U.S. Farm Bill. We want our farmers to be recog- nized as the most efficient in the world,” Durham MP Alex Shepherd said, adding Cana- dian farmers are competing heavily against farmers in the U.S. and Europe. And this includes farmers in Durham. “It’s a huge step in the right direction,” said John Wagenaar, co-director of the Durham Region Federation of Agriculture. Although the manner in which the funds will be divided is yet to be de- termined, he said a large per- centage will likely go to grain and oils, an area of farming jeopardized by low U.S. prices. Regardless of the out- come, Mr. Wagenaar said “there is more of an air of op- timism in the farming com- munity” after news of the APF was announced June 20. Durham Region Federa- tion of Agriculture president Dave Barry agreed. “It’s the best news we’ve had in a long time,” he said, although he added the fine print will determine the suc- cess of the framework. The APF’s five goals, as outlined by the government, are food safety and quality, environment, skills and re- newal, science and innova- tion, and management of business risks. But for many in the agricultural communi- ty, the new policy is consid- ered weak. Dale Mountjoy, director of the Ontario Corn Producers Association for Durham, said although names have changed under the new framework, very lit- tle “new money” is being in- troduced. Only about $1.2 billion, he said, will be added as transitional money for the entire country, resulting in a nation miles behind the U.S. “Our federal government is turning a blind eye,” Mr. Mountjoy said.

One of the most visible effects of this trend is strengthened family ties. Not only are families becoming much closer, but they are also spending a lot more time together. Do you wish you could spend more quality time with your kids, sib- lings and parents? Why not install a swimming pool in your backyard? It’s a great way to get everyone together in a fun, relaxing environ- ment. While a pool may initially seem to be a huge investment, when you spread the cost out over a period of 10 years, you will be surprised at how inexpensive a new pool really is. And when you consider all the fun that it will add to your family’s life, the decision becomes even easier to make. For example, a $3,000 pool will only cost you a little over $300 a year for 10 years. And its maintenance and electric- ity costs will only run $300 to $400 a year. A pool is a great way to relax, improve your swimming skills and simply have fun. The best thing about a pool is that it can be used by family members of all ages. In fact, swimming is considered to be one of the best forms of exercise that you can do for your body. And there’s nothing like getting lots of fresh air, especially after being cooped up indoors all winter. And late at night, you can relax in your warm pool and gaze at the stars. Now here’s one investment you can enjoy now and for many years to come. Looking for ways to bring your family closer together? Why not install a swim- ming pool in your backyard?

DEEDS Starring Adam Sandler Directed by Steven Brill Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) is a sweet, lovable guy leading a sim- ple happy life in the tiny hamlet of Mandrake Falls, N.H. Deeds is ad- mired by the locals who crowd into his pizzeria to hear him recite his offbeat (but hilarious) greeting card poetry. Life is good until two fancy corporate execs bring news that Deeds is about to be rolling in a different kind of dough. A long-lost relative has left him an in- heritance of $40 billion along with the largest media company in the world, football and basketball teams, and a private helicopter ready to whisk him off to corporate America. Deeds ulti- mately discovers what life is really all about and has to prove money changes everything... but not everyone. HEY ARNOLD! THE MOVIE Animated Life in the big city can be lonely. Luckily, Arnold and his pals live in a neighbourhood so close-knit it could pass for a small town plopped down in the middle of a major metropolis. But when a powerful developer wants to knock down all the stores and houses so he can build a mammoth ‘mall-plex’ it looks like Arnold’s neighbourhood moves to save their beloved blocks before it’s too late. LOVELY AND AMAZING Starring Catherine Keener Directed by Nicole Holofcener Academy Award-nominated ac- tresses Catherine Keener (‘Being John Malkovich’) and Brenda Blethyn (‘Se- crets & Lies’) star in Nicole Holofcener’s followup feature to her critically acclaimed debut ‘Walking and Talking’. A finely observed comedy, ‘Lovely and Amazing’ is an intimate family portrait of four hapless but resilient women and the bittersweet lessons they learn in keeping up with the hec- tic demands of their individual neu- roses. PUMPKIN Starring Christina Ricci, Hank Har- ris Directed by Adam Larson Broder, Tony Abrams Carolyn McDuffy (Christina Ricci) is the model of Pasadena perfection as she trundles her way in her Cabrio con- vertible toward Southern California State University for her senior year. To her horror, she discovers her sorority has taken on the Challenged Games as its off-campus charity. The sisters have agreed to help train River- side County’s physically and mentally handicapped athletes for their annual match against Orange County. After resisting the task, Carolyn finds herself saddled with mentoring an earnest challenged athlete named Pumpkin (Hank Harris) who is immediately en- amoured with her.

After weeks of delays, first-year school beats Bowmanville for title AJAX —Although it was put on hold several times, the regional high school championship for boys’baseball was finally played Wednesday, with the Cinderella team of the league winning the Durham crown. The Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School Cougars captured the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athlet- ics (LOSSA) crown with a 4-2 victory over Bowmanville High School. The LOSSA title was all the more signifi- cant as the team was in its first year of competition after the school opened last September. The title game, played at the Ajax Community Centre diamond Wednes- day, was a long time coming. The con- test had to be postponed through the Prentice Cup (provincial) regional playdowns (with both teams qualifying to represent Durham), two rainouts and exams. Notre Dame sprinted out to a big lead in its first at-bats, putting three runs on the board in the bottom of the first inning. The Cougars added another run in the bottom of the third before Bow- manville rallied in the top of the fifth inning, scoring its two runs. Willie Neadles led the Cougars at the dish, going 2-for-3 with two runs batted in and two runs scored. Jon Rossi went 3-for-3 with a double and game-winning run. Matt Firth earned the win, register- ing eight strikeouts. For Notre Dame co-coach Chad McPherson, who coached the team along with Greg Kieszkowski, the sea- son has gone beyond anyone’s wildest expectations. The Cougars put together a solid regular season, qualified for the playoffs where they pulled off a big 4- 1 upset over the perennially strong Pickering High School Trojans in the semifinal and eventually landed in the Ontario Federa- tion of School Athletic Associ- ation regionals in Ottawa. There, Notre Dame earned one win in four games. “It’s been a great year and we’re looking forward to next year for sure,” said McPherson.

HORNUNG, Horst Adolf - Passed away peace- fully on the morning of Saturday, June 22, 2002, at home with his family by his side, fol- lowing a courageous battle with cancer. Horst was 65 years old. Horst immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1956 with $40.00 in his pocket. Although he had little money, he came as a skilled toolmaker and with much ambition to succeed in his adopted country. After working hard for many years, he be- came a partner in a mould-making company, D&E Precision Tooling Ltd. From this fledgling business grew a varied group of successful companies in the Durham Region specializing in Tool & Die Making, Plastic Injection Moulding, Industrial Supply and Real Estate. He was the loving husband of Diane, beloved father and father-in-law of Karen & Bob Mc- Burney, Richard & Catherine Hornung, Jac- queline and Dave Bracken, caring stepfather of Cindy Dunn (Galveston, Texas), Robin and Ken Turner and Jacqueline and Jerry Kucharchuk. Horst's 7 grandchildren, Julia, Jamie, Jessica, Andrew, Joey, Jeffrey and baby Samuel will all miss their Opa. Horst will be dearly missed by all whose lives have been touched by this special man. Horst's family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Sunnybrook Hospital and Cancer Centre for their expert care during his illness. Horst will be laid to rest at Resurrection Cemetery on Ta unton Rd. in Whitby.

Other new homes start as low as $109,900 and range in size up to 1,690 square feet. It’ll be quickly apparent, when you first visit our idyllic lakeside community, why over 1,200 people have chosen to run away to Wilmot Creek.

Swim a few laps or play a few sets on one of our regulation tennis courts. You can tee it up on our executive 9 hole golf course, or just stroll the winding roads and trails that meander throughout Wilmot Creek, including one along our picturesque lakefront. Then, there’s our 28,000 square foot recreation centre that is full of activities: a computer room with internet access, a fitness centre and a wood working shop, just to mention a few.

Gormley and others were tak- ing part in the second annual Big Sisters Associa- tion of Ajax and Pickering Charity Golf Tourna- ment, raising money while teeing it up for 18 holes on the course. PICKERING —A Pickering man earned two medals at the recent National Karate As- sociation Canadian Black Belt Champi- onships in Toronto. Takayoshi ‘Rafael’ Alvarez, who studies the karate discipline of Okinawa Goju Ryu, captured master national champion status after winning the gold medal in kumite (self- defence) and the silver in kata (patterns) at the Regal Constellation Hotel. Alvarez was one of two black belts from Ontario to compete in the discipline. As gold medallist,Alvarez advances to the WKF World Championships in Madrid, Spain Nov. 22 to 24. Alvarez, a seventh degree black belt in Okinawa Goju Ryu, came to Canada from the Dominican Republic in 1997 and has since gained a reputation as one of the best karateka in Ontario. He is planning to visit Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in Au- gust for competition and to provide instruc- tion. Last summer, Alvarez was part of a 12- member delegation to Japan where he served as a technical adviser.

Colin Sharpe, 15, of Ajax, and Bernhardt Mattes, 15, a former Ajax resident who recently moved to Cour- tice, earned a combined three individ- ual medals while competing for On- tario at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Sharpe, competing in the novice category, earned a silver medal on pommel horse with a score of 9.95. He also won the bronze medal on floor ex- ercise with a score of 9.6. In addition, Sharpe placed fourth on high bar and was 12th overall with a score of 52.05. Meanwhile, Mattes placed seventh overall in the open division, which fea- tured 30 competitors. He earned a sil- ver medal on floor with a mark of 9.6. He also placed fourth on rings, fifth on vault, seventh on high bar, 10th on par- allel bars and 16th on pommel horse. In the team standings, Sharpe and Mattes helped the Ontario team finish first. Wo rking more than 22 hours per week in the gym, Mattes and Sharpe have put together a solid season that led to the breakthroughs at provincials and nationals. At provincials in Wood- stock in April, Sharpe was second overall and Mattes finished third. Chris Hanley coaches Mattes and Sharpe at the Markham Gymnastics Club. Sharpe on the Mattes! Colin Sharpe, coach Chris Hanley and Bernhardt Mattes represented Ontario at the recent Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Winnipeg recently. Transmissions are very costly to repair so if you hear strange noises coming from this impor- tant part of your vehicle you shouldn’t ignore them. According to the Car Care Council, at the first indication of any noise, the transmission fluid should be checked. If the level is low, adding fluid may cor- rect the trouble. If the noise persists, the culprit could be a clogged transmission filter which is preventing fluid from reaching the pump. The result, the transmis- sion is starved of fluid, with even- tual destruction of the pump and other compo- nents. This can add up to a very large repair bill. The above mentioned horror story should never happen, says Car Care Council, if auto- matic transmis- sion fluid is checked regularly (at least as often as the oil is changed) and if fluid and filter are replaced peri- odically. The Council r ecommends checking fluid only when the vehicle has been run for a few miles after the engine has reached normal operating temper- ature. Check to see if it is discolored, rather than pink or red, which is normal. When fluid has turned brown, this is an indication that it has been burned. Note also if it smells burned. Burned fluid should be drained and replaced, along with the filter. The Council also notes that the tip of the dip stick should be cool enough to touch; an auto- matic transmission should operate at 66-94 deg.C. Severe service driving, which can overheat the transmission, may call for the addition of a transmis- sion cooler. Fluid life is greatly extended when it is kept within normal operat- ing temperature. Most types of "severe" service driving require most frequent fluid and fil- ter changes, as well as other periodic services. This type of service is described as follows: • Frequent idling for long periods of time, such as stop-and-go driving in heavy traffic. •Sustained highway driving in hot weather. •Towing a boat or trail- er, or carrying heavy objects on a rooftop rack. •Driving in dusty con- ditions. •Prolonged operation at sub-zero temperatures. •Driving on steep hills or mountains on a regular basis. Preventive mainte- nance is critical to long, efficient car life, summa- rized Car Care Council. When it is neglected one's senses of sight, sound and smell may signal trouble. Beware of Strange Noises Coming From Your Transmission Most types of "severe" service driving require most frequent fluid and filter changes, as well as other periodic services.

Spartans put blemish on record Ajax mosquitoes earn 10-10 tie with previously perfect Pickering club AJAX —The Ajax Spartans mos- quito rep baseball team engaged in an all-out battle with the rival Pickering Red Sox here Monday night. Pickering entered the game in first place in the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association standings with an unde- feated 9-0 league mark. Meanwhile, the Spartans have improved each game entering the tilt. With the game tied 10-10, both teams and the umpire agreed to play an extra inning in an attempt to break the stalemate. In the end, however, the teams had to be content with the draw. The lead changed hands several times and Ajax received hits from Andrew Ward, Todd Blair, Thomas Fearon, George Halim, Brennan Con- quer and Colton Kennedy. The Spartans’ Kyle Lewis, Rai- hann Patel, Kristopher Barclay and Wayne Feltham supplied solid play in the field. Patel and Blair both stole several bases. Fearon and Kennedy pitched well for Ajax. The Spartans are preparing for an upcoming tournament in Cambridge.
