Residents swing into action Upset with City’s plan to move playground equipment at Bruce Hanscombe Park BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Several West Shore residents are upset over the City’s plans to move a swing set in the park next to their homes. “It’s huge and it will block the view that I paid for,” said Blake Wallis, a Breezy Drive resident whose home is adja- cent to Bruce Hanscombe Memorial Park and overlook- ing Frenchman’s Bay. “It’s at least 12-feet high and (one neighbour) says when the kids are on it they’ll be able to look right through his windows.” The playground equipment and swing set had a home in the remote north end of the park before the City decided it was amongst several groups of playground equipment that needed to be replaced for safe- ty reasons. A letter went out from the City to residents informing them that while the equipment was being replaced it would also move to a more wide- open area of the park “in an effort to reduce vandalism and disruptive use”. Area residents say after complaints about proposed lo- cations, the City said the move would be shelved until con- cerns could be addressed. Then last week Mr. Wallis said he and others saw City workers marking the location and getting ready to begin the work. “The only reason we found out about it was because we saw them out there marking it off before 9 a.m. this morn- ing,” he said in an interview last Thursday. “They said there’s nothing we can do about it... they said it’ll be done by the end of the week and when we complained the City’s guys said ‘tough, it’s going through’.” Frustrated with the re- sponse from City workers and lack of answers from City management, residents put to- gether a petition demanding the equipment not be replaced at all.

Durham Region waste manager Peter Watson shows off some of the new items to be collected under a new expanded recy- cling program in four Durham municipalities. BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —While our To ronto neighbours watched garbage pile up due to a strike by municipal workers there, trash collection in Durham is becoming more streamlined. Tw o decades ago life was easy for the householder re- sponsible for taking out the garbage. Grab the green bags and toss them in a heap at the curb where they’d be trans- ported to the dump. Landfill communities con- tended with all the messy side effects, including groundwa- ter contamination and air- quality issues, but for the rest of us it was out of sight, out of mind. Today, the Durham resi- dent’s garbage chore is a little more complex but also more environmentally friendly with diversion of paper, cardboard, cans and even some plastics to our blue boxes, where the materials are recycled for an- other go-round as useful products. Hazardous wastes such as batteries, old paint cans and chemicals are processed sepa- rately at designated depots to ensure they are not leaking toxins into the ground as they once did. Yard waste is col- lected separately and turned into rich compost that can be returned to the earth in a ben- eficial way. But, with a residential di- version rate hovering around 30 per cent, there is a whole lot more Durham could be doing to be more environmen- tally-friendly with its garbage, admits Peter Watson, the Region’s waste manager. “Most municipalities have a minimum 50 per cent diver- sion goal,” he says. “Most are about 28 to 30 per cent now. We ’r e all doing essentially the same kind of thing. Every- body clearly attributes getting food waste out of the garbage so we can increase diversion significantly.” Durham is in the midst of a garbage revolution that should improve its diversion rate by at least 20 per cent, if not more, in the next few years, Mr. Watson says. In October, the garbage chore will get just a little more complicated for house- holders in four of Durham’s eight municipalities: Claring- ton, Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock. The process will in- clude an expanded blue box program that for the first time will take items such as tetra pack juice boxes, gable- topped containers — such as orange juice and milk con- tainers — aerosol cans and additional plastics including laundry detergent and dish soap bottles. More important- Garbage diversion projects similar to one in Pickering offer optimism BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM –– A former Durham Region prosecutor faces 18 charges relating to theft of charitable funds originating from criminal plea-bargains. Charges were filed Monday against Bryan T. Davies follow- ing a year-long investigation by OPP’s Caledon Crime Unit and Anti-Rackets Section. An OPP statement said it began the investigation in July 2001 into allegations of misap- propriation of money from the W. Bruce Affleck Scholarship Fund “involving the Crown At- torney’s office in Durham Re- gion.” Court documents allege Mr. Davies, a trustee of the fund cre- ated six years ago in memory of the prominent Oshawa lawyer, committed the crimes over a 41- month period from Jan. 1, 1998 to June 1, 2001. He is accused, among other things, of failing to deposit trust fund donations in the amounts of $5,000 and $30,000 made by two women as part of plea deals struck in a major prosecution three years ago.

Compostable waste accounts for 40 per cent of Durham’s garbage, notes Mr. Watson, who says getting organics out of the garbage bag will go a long way toward improving the diversion rate. If things go as planned, the other four municipalities — Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa and Whitby — will follow suit some time in 2003. Toronto, which is about to imple- ment a similar program in Etobicoke this fall, estimates organic collection combined with the City’s recycling program will bring the City’s diver- sion rate to 60 per cent when it’s fully operational. In Pickering, 516 homes in the Amberlea community are part of an ongoing successful pilot project that began last November. The three- stream waste management system sees garbage and household recy- clables separated in a 416-litre split- cart, while kitchen organic waste and yard waste, not including wood, are set in a 242-litre cart. The program includes an expanded recycling sys- tem and carts are picked up weekly. After the first month, a reported 97 per cent of homes were participating, resulting in a 73 per cent diversion rate. The big numbers didn’t end there. The diversion rate continues to run at over 60 per cent and the project was extended earlier this year throughout 2002. Peterborough, which has taken or- ganic collection even further in a 600-home pilot project, has achieved a 68- per cent diversion rate in partic- ipating households. In addition to kitchen waste, it collects dog feces, kitty litter, wax paper and other pa- pers that can’t go into a regular recy- cling program. The organic program there is in combination with the al- ready extensive blue box program that includes collection of almost every type of plastic, including gro- cery bags. Mr. Watson says Durham will not collect plastic grocery bags in its blue box program because there is no mar- ket for them and they may ultimately end up in landfill. But, Peterborough recycling co- ordinator Susan Sauve says the city has never sent any of its recyclable items to landfill. The market for film plastics does go up and down, she ad- mits, and, on occasion, there has been a need to store the bags in trailers until a market turn-around, but the City has always managed to sell them. “Coloured glass is a challenge right now, too,” she says, “but we work hard at it. For the integrity of the program it’s really important for us to recycle everything we collect.” Recycling is still less expensive than traditional landfill she points out, suggesting the cost for Peterbor- ough’s recycling is about $65 a tonne compared to $115 for the collection and disposal of landfill-bound garbage. “Some people sell recycling as a program that will pay for itself. I don’t believe in saying that but it’s still cheaper per tonne than waste dis- posal and environmentally, you don’t even have to think about it,” she said. While many residents have been calling for an expanded garbage di- version program in Durham for years, one problem has been co-ordinating the effort between the eight munici- palities, says Mr. Watson. In the past, each municipality has been responsi- ble for its own garbage collection with the exception of the blue box. The Region, on the other hand, was responsible for disposal. This has made consideration of any innovative disposal system a logistical night- mare. Increased diversion would have required eight different collectors to agree on a similar collection method, then agree to purchase any new equipment and vehicles to accommo- date that program. “Collection, processing and dis- posal are all interlinked,” explains Mr. Watson, who adds integrated waste management means looking at all three components in tandem to find the most cost-effective and envi- ronmentally-friendly system. When you have eight different governments collecting the trash, it makes it much more difficult to create one effective way to process and dispose of it, he says. Earlier this year, collection con- tracts in Clarington, Brock, Uxbridge and Scugog came due for renewal and a window of opportunity was cre- ated. All four municipalities agreed to have the Region assume responsi- bility of garbage collection, allowing it, for the first time, to dictate how the waste is collected so it can then direct it to more environmentally-friendly disposal. In Oshawa and Whitby, municipal employees and equipment collect garbage. Mr. Watson said discussions are ongoing between the Region and Os- hawa and Whitby about ways to make the systems compatible. Ajax and Pickering are both in the middle of long-term collection contracts. Pickering council recently passed a motion stating the City is prepared to negotiate being a participating mu- nicipality in the Region’s acceptance of all waste management powers. However, involvement is contingent upon the Region adopting a curbside organic waste collection and expand- ed recyclables system similar to the Amberlea project. On the other side of the waste-dis- posal equation, Durham Region, like Toronto, recently signed a contract to haul its landfill waste to Michigan. Some say Durham’s eight-year con- tract to send 100,000 tonnes of garbage a year down the highway and across the border — out of sight and out of mind — contradicts the Re- gion’s mantra about better waste management. But, Jack McCorkell, Durham’s commissioner of works, says the Re- gion has also commissioned a study to find alternatives to landfill. Op- tions such as energy-from-waste are being considered, he says. “No matter what happens there’s going to be residual waste left and that’s the component we’re talking about now.” The Michigan contract is flexible enough to allow for a reduction of tonnage if Durham finds a better so- lution, he says, while giving the Re- gion somewhere to send its garbage when the Keele Valley landfill in Toronto closes later this year. Success of higher diversion from landfill hinges on the buy-in from the public, adds Mr. Watson, who says the Region is looking for ways to make good recycling practices as easy as possible for residents. At the end of the day, at least for a while longer, some of our garbage will find its way to a hole in the ground somewhere. How much of it continues to go there may ultimately depend on those of us who put out the trash. Pickering pilot project offers reason for optimism After one month participation neared 100 per cent; diversion continues to run at over 60 per cent in Amberlea community DURHAM — A study of Durham’s residential garbage habits revealed we are throwing a lot more into landfill than we need to. The amount of garbage diverted out of landfill in March 2001 was estimated at 26 per cent. But, of the items being trucked to the dump, only 11 per cent are classified as those that could not be taken out of the landfill stream with an expand- ed recycling system and full organ- ic waste diversion program.

Contrary to the recommenda- tions of planning staff, regional council voted to support Ajax council’s decision to allow rear yards facing onto main streets. The decision contravenes the Town’s Official Plan and gener- ally-accepted planning theories, according to Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, who voted against the de- cision both locally and at the Re- gion. In 1999, in order to settle a costly Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) appeal, the Town negoti- ated an agreement with subdivi- sion developers Runnymede and Tribute, allowing them to keep portions of the plans as reverse- lot frontage, but with other areas, on Westney Road and Harwood Avenue, front-facing, the mayor said. In late 2001, the developer applied to change the deal, al- lowing more backyards to face onto the main streets. Concerns with this type of de- sign, which many municipalities do not allow under their official plans, include safety for pedestri- ans on those streets and an “eye- sore” streetscape, especially if fences erected as sound barriers become old and neglected, the mayor said. “What kind of precedent does that set in your municipality? Will developers say all settle- ments are fair game and you can reopen them anytime?” he asked. But Thomas Lederer, a lawyer for the developers said, “It is not uncommon where there is a contract for one party to think it can be approved and to go to the other parties,” to ask for it to be reconsidered, he said. “That’s what happened here.” He added the developers have a proven track record. “We have learned how successful this ap- proach could be. It has succeed- ed in every respect,” he said. The Durham Environmental Advisory Committee recom- mended against the change say- ing the plan was “not supportive of public transit, not esthetically pleasing and not environmentally friendly”. The applications are “incon- sistent with the goals of provin- cial policy statements, the provincial smart growth princi- ples and transit supportive land use guidelines,” Durham plan- ning commissioner Alex Georgi- eff added in a report. While some members of re- gional council said they too have concerns with backyards facing onto main streets for these rea- sons, they noted it was the will of Ajax council as a whole to ap- prove the developers’ changes. “Rear-lotting is not the best idea in the world but if council of a municipality wants to change something, I will almost always go along,” said Whitby Council- lor Joe Drumm. However, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond said if regional council is just going to rubber- stamp the decisions of the local council it really doesn’t have a role to play at all. In a recorded vote, only Mayor Diamond and Scugog Councillor Ken Carruthers sup- ported Mayor Parish’s position. Ajax Councillor Jim McMaster was absent due to a death in the family but sent a letter to the Re- gion in support of the applica- tion. Mayor Marcel Brunelle was also absent for the vote. An OMB hearing on the ap- plication has been set for Aug. 8.

Mayor questions ramifications of Region backing plan Please recycle this copy of the News AdvertiserSTEVE PARISH ‘What kind of precedent does that set in your municipality?’ BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer AJAX —The Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority (TRCA) released two reports last week that it hopes will help guide future planning around two major wa- tersheds in Durham. The state of the watersheds reports for the Duffins and Carruthers creeks outline in detail what makes the watersheds tick and sheds some light on signs of decline and op- portunities for improvements. The reports also lay the groundwork for the watersheds’ management strategy, ex- pected to be released this September. “In the two state of the watershed re- ports, we have the data to make smart deci- sions about watersheds,” said Gary Bowen, watershed specialist with the TRCA. “The decisions that are made with our municipal partners will have a long-reaching impact on everything from drinking water and air quality to the fish communities and public use of the watersheds.” The TRCA’s hope is the documents will assist decision makers in future watershed management and development surrounding the creeks. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish hopes so, too. “We have to make sure we don’t leave them on the shelf,” he said. “We can use them everyday in making planning decisions. We should take this wis- dom and apply it everyday. We can keep this the most beautiful watershed around if we do the right thing. If we don’t, we could lose it.” The TRCA says Duffins Creek is one of the healthiest watersheds on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The creek flows from the Oak Ridges Moraine in Uxbridge and Whitchurch-Stouffville, south through Markham, Pickering and Ajax into Duffins Marsh. In contrast, Mr. Bowen said there is evi- dence the Carruthers Creek watershed, which flows from the 8th Concession in Pickering through Ajax into Carruthers Marsh, “was going downhill fast”, prompt- ing the studies two years ago. Mr. Bowen described the studies as “liv- ing documents”. He said task forces for the two water- sheds, which include experts, local stake- holders and municipal representatives, will now develop the management strategies that will lead to the formation of an implementa- tion task force. That will lead to a regular report card monitoring the condition of the watershed and reporting on the progress of the strate- gies. Mr. Bowen also said since only 10 per cent of the area surrounding the two water- sheds has been developed and over 50 per cent of the Duffins watershed is in public ownership, there is a unique opportunity to take a proactive approach, use proper plan- ning and forward thinking to managing the watershed rather than relying on costly water treatment and remedial plans after de- velopment and damage to the watersheds has already occurred. The reports will be available this week on the TRCA Web site at www.trca.on.ca.

Reports look to future of Duffins, Carruthers creeks watersheds MARTIN DERBYSHIRE/ News Advertiser photo Duffy the Duffins Duck visited Duffins Creek last week to herald the release of two re- ports dealing with the future of the Duffins and Carruthers creeks watersheds.Recycle The two accused were among more than a couple of dozen women of influence charged with participating in money pyramid schemes in 1999. Mr. Davies, 43, who was one of the region’s top prosecutors while an assis- tant Crown for eight years, was in charge of the pyramid prosecutions. As part of their guilty pleas, the women re- ceived conditional discharges in exchange for donations to local charities that were ap- proved by the Crown. Charges relating to the case allege Mr. Davies de- frauded the scholarship fund by failing to deposit entire donations made by two of the accused women. It is also alleged receipts with false charity numbers were forged. Other allega- tions include unlawfully con- verting money “to a use not authorized by the trust,” and stealing unspecified sums of money from the trust fund, each less than $5,000, by is- suing cheques to All Saints Church Choir, “himself and to others not authorized by the trust,” charges state. Mr. Davies was suspend- ed by the Ministry of Attor- ney General from prosecuto- rial duties in mid-2001, sev- eral months after the allega- tions surfaced. His caseload, which in- cluded a first-degree murder case he was prosecuting at the time, was re-assigned. Mr. Davies resigned in March this year, citing med- ical problems. In all, he’s charged with four counts each of fraud over $5,000, fraud and theft under $5,000 and three counts of theft over $5,000. He is also charged with one count each of forgery, utter- ing forged documents and breach of trust. He is scheduled to make his first appearance in Os- hawa court Tuesday. Prominent Toronto lawyer David Humphrey has been named as independent prose- cutor of the case. Mr. Davies’s lawyer, Bernie O’Brien, said his client is dealing with the charges and ongoing health problems as best he can under the circumstances. “It’s just a very sad situa- tion. He worked very hard for the community (as a Crown) and really performed great services for this com- munity,” said Mr. O’Brien, who added Mr. Davies was responsible for numerous successful major prosecu- tions and is also an active volunteer in the community. In a recent interview, Mr. Davies said he fully co-oper- ated with police “and anyone with an interest in this mat- ter.” It is the second police in- vestigation of a local Crown this year. John Scott, Senior Crown Attorney, was charged by Durham police earlier this year with impaired driving causing bodily harm and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident. He eventu- ally pleaded guilty under the Highway Traffic Act to care- less driving, and the criminal charges were withdrawn. It’s also the second inves- tigation of Mr. Davies for misappropriation of funds. In 1994, while in private practice, he was found guilty of professional misconduct for misappropriating $58,000 in client funds and improper- ly borrowing $50,000 from another client. The Law Society’s Disci- pline Committee, noting “ex- tenuating circumstances” and dozens of letters support- ing Mr. Davies from ex- clients, lawyers and judges, decided not to disbar him. He was suspended one year. He was hired as a part- time Durham prosecutor while awaiting the outcome of the discipline proceedings, and later given a full-time position. At the time, disci- pline committee chairman Joan Lax said the misconduct was committed prior to Mr. Davies being diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, a medical condition that can lead to im- paired judgement. to the petition said there are several good reasons why it shouldn’t be re- placed. Among those reasons, Mr. Micallef said there are few children in the imme- diate vicinity of the park, there is no parking, and the proposed new location is dangerously close to the water. Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner said last week he under- stands the concerns and would set up a meeting with City staff and resi- dents to discuss the future of the park and equipment. “I’m not saying we are definitely going to change the location, but we are going to sit down and dis- cuss it and the residents’ concerns will be ad- dressed,” he said. “We need to separate the nim- byism from the valid con- cerns.” Coun. Brenner and City staff planned to meet with residents to hear their con- cerns last night and will try to come up with an amica- ble solution before the end of the month.

DURHAM ––Durham College's Community Employment Resource Centre is launching its Summer Jobs Service Program with a Work and Roll Sports Extravaganza, Friday, July 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Palmer Park. The event will feature a free barbe- cue, music, basketball and games. In- formation to assist students find jobs will be posted, and employers will be present to speak about career options and employment opportunities. Everyone is invited to attend. Call 905-985-1441 for further de- tails. College serves up career options A politician trying to get to the top in Ontario may someday boast he was raised in a comfortable home, had straight ‘A’s at Harvard and is a whiz at polo, but don’t count on it. Most politicians are intent on proving they are just ordinary guys. Ernie Eves has been trying to show it since he announced he was coming back from his $1-million- a-year job in the financial world to run for premier and he is still hard at it. Mr. Eves’s first, famous words in his comeback were he always felt more comfortable on Main Street than on Bay Street. He re- counted also how his parents were working-class and he worked hard to put himself through university and become a lawyer. When Mr. Eves ran for a seat in the legislature in a rural area where many wealthy Torontonians — in- cluding his partner, Isabel Bassett, have country homes — he fur- thered his image of being an ordi- nary joe by saying they know him at the local Canadian Tire store and Howard’s, the butcher’s shop. The premier is busy now claim- ing his budget is more Main Street than Bay Street, because it post- poned tax cuts that would have helped the better off, to provide more money to spend on services for all. Politicians have had a mania to show they came from humble roots since Abraham Lincoln emerged from his log cabin and probably earlier. They want to assure voters they can appreciate the concerns of av- erage families through experience and were not born with silver spoons in their mouths, but worked their way up. Thus Elizabeth Witmer, who ran against Mr. Eves for leader and got to be deputy premier, told in her campaign how she immigrated as a small child with her parents from Holland. The family had “lit- tle in material goods” and she worked in a local convenience store from the age of 12. Tony Clement, who also lost the leader’s race, stressed he worked in his father’s restaurant from 10 a.m. to 2 the next morn- ing, making this seem a province of child labour, as well as opportu- nity. Mike Harris, Mr. Eves’s prede- cessor as premier, was keen to be seen as an ordinary guy, although his family owned various business- es. Mr. Harris said, “I come from the people. I’m the guy next door. I’m a working stiff. I’m Mike from North Bay.” Mr. Harris once said he knew what it is like to have to live on bologna, but his scrupu- lously honest father could not re- member it. Mr. Harris once accused his predecessor, New Democrat pre- mier Bob Rae, of having an “elit- ist” background. Mr. Rae was the son of a career diplomat and one of the brainy group of Rhodes Schol- ars at Oxford and lived in some up- scale neighbourhoods. But when he was premier Mr. Rae played this down, saying he lived “pretty frugally and my fam- ily has a mortgage and a car loan and we don’t live very differently from millions of others.” Durable Tory premier William Davis liked to picture himself as just a small-town guy at heart, al- though he was a lawyer who, on retiring, immediately collected a score of Bay Street directorships. John Robarts, another lawyer, liked it to be known that when he enlisted in the navy in the Second World War, he held the rank of or- dinary seaman. Leslie Frost, also a small-town lawyer, knew how to seem an ordi- nary guy around election times, when he got out his battered old car to drive down the concession roads seeking votes. David Peterson, Liberal pre- mier from 1985 to 90, was the only premier who did not care whether the public thought he was well off. Mr. Peterson came from a well- to-do family, never disguised it, feeling it fit the yuppie atmosphere of the times, bought a million-dol- lar-home in upscale Rosedale, seemed to spend half his life in tuxedo and scarlet cummerbund and was accused by opponents of living a “lifestyle of the rich and famous”, after a popular TV pro- gram of the time. This was one of several reasons Mr. Peterson looked out of touch and lost an election. Premiers since have been particularly anx- ious to seem ordinary and humble. Just humble, hard-working people Premiers, and those who want the job too, do their best to fit in Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 17, 2002 Proud members of It doesn’t come as a surprise, perhaps because it never had much of a chance from the very start. The decision by Durham’s 28 regional councillors to keep the choice of picking the Regional chairman all to themselves is essentially a slap in the face to the democ- ratic process. What should be a position open to election - as are all other municipal and regional council positions in Durham - will continue to be chosen in a vote of regional council- lors during the first meeting after each municipal elec- tion. There is one important switch, however. Any eligi- ble voter in Durham Region can now stand for election again. Council policy in the last election was to select from within. Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt’s comments on the issue of election of the Regional chairman were revealing. To the proposition of asking voters in a referendum if they favour election of the Regional chairman, Mayor Moffatt said: “If you put a question on the ballot, ‘Are you in favour of lower taxes?’ the answer would be ‘Yes,’ and if you ask ‘Are you in favour of a holiday?’ the answer would be ‘Yes,’ and if you ask, ‘Are you in favour of electing the chairman?’ the answer would be ‘Yes,’ be- cause it makes sense on a cursory view to say ‘Yes.’You are going to get an uninformed answer and then people will say later, ‘How did that happen?’” While the mayor seemingly has a low regard for the decision-making power of Durham Region voters, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish took a different tack. “To vote against this is to say they (voters) can’t be trusted to give us in- formed advice on this. I think it forgets who pays the bills here.” Those who pay the bills should have the final say on who holds the best-paid, most important elected leader- ship position in Durham Region. The issue seems clear. Just who exactly is the chairman responsible to? Under the current system, he owes his job only to the handful of regional councillors who vote for him on elec- tion day. It’s unfortunate most councillors believe only they know what’s best. Perhaps the provincial Minister of Mu- nicipal Affairs should eventually make the decision, since councillors have too much to lose by giving up their power to select the chairman. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 17, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Give us a list of criteria To the editor: Re: ‘Municipal report cards,’ June 28. As usual, the News Advertiser gave us its annual municipal re- port card. After reading these for a few years now, some questions come to mind: What are the cri- teria being used to grade our politicians? The only information we have is that it is based on performance and feedback received from the public. Even this begs the question: How does the News Advertiser measure performance? The News Advertiser needs to establish a list of criteria, and publish it, and measure our politicians accurately and fairly based on these criteria, and these only. How one attends all the meetings or is a good speaker or is committed to representing the interests of his constituents (isn’t that what they are suppose to do anyway?), isn’t enough to get an ‘A’ or a ‘B’, and ultimately is misleading to the residents. Sylvain Trépanier Pickering Teacher an inspiration to many students To the editor: Re: ‘Local teacher loses licence over sex allegations,’July 7. I was very disturbed by this arti- cle. I have known Peter Kaiser since September 1997 when I came to Dunbarton High School as a Grade 9 student. I got to know Mr. Kaiser even better through my involvement in many sporting activities at Dunbar- ton where he was the head of the physical education department. Throughout that time, despite the fact I was never in one of his class- es, Mr. Kaiser became one of my favourite teachers to talk to. I would frequently find my way into his office in search of guidance in regards to a great many subjects, which included my athletic future and any personal issues I was un- dergoing. All the students at the 1999 Dunbarton athletic banquet were in tears, including myself, when the announcement came that Mr. Kaiser was leaving Dunbarton to teach at Exeter High School the following year. When reading the article about Mr. Kaiser, I was appalled at how biased a local newspaper could be about a local teacher who was so well respected. There was no infor- mation to support Mr. Kaiser’s side of the incident at all. I am very dis- appointed this type of journalism would be featured in our local newspaper, or in any newspaper.

They pur- chased Lots 16 and 17 on Concession 4, being the land northwest of what is now Taunton Road and Church Street. The family still owned this land into the 1950s. All the above mentioned family members rest in the Bethel or Ellicott Cemetery which occupies about an acre on the southwest corner of the Concession 5 and Sideline 16. The cemetery seems to have taken its name from Bethel Church, a small church that stood on the site until 1902 when it was torn down.

Note: A Rain Gage will aid you in determining when your lawn requires water. Rain Gages can be picked up free of charge while supplies last, courtesy of the Region of Durham, One The Esplanade, second floor, Municipal Property and Engineering Division.

Motorcyclists participating in the Cappy Ride, also known as the Ride For Kids, are setting their wheels in motion for the 10th anniversary ride. A Durham contingent, meeting at Country Style Donuts, Hwy. 12 and 7A, Manchester, will ride to the Grand River Powwow, Saturday, July 27, at 9 a.m. Every dollar raised, says regional organizer Bob Brozina, will go directly to the Durham Chil- dren’s Aid Society. An honorary past president of the CAS, Mr. Brozina says the Ride “exists to pro- mote awareness of the problems of child abuse.” Although motorcyclists all over Ontario take part in the ride, every penny is directed to charities in the area where the money is raised. The Children’s Aid Society, explains Mr. Broz- ina, helps youngsters in ways the government can’t, due to over-stretched funds and an increase in kids who need help. “It addresses those situations where children fall between the cracks,” he explains. Although govern- ment funding has increased, he says, the number of children in need at the CAS has risen from under 200 children a decade ago, to over 1,000 this year. “It’s a scary situation,” he says. “Child abuse is surely a pervasive problem, (and) is so pre- ventable.” People have to pay more attention to the causes, he adds, and spend money not just on the crises, but prevention. Through awareness and education, Mr. Brozina says, positive steps can be made to keep families from breaking down. The Cappy Ride is one of those steps, he adds. The ride, which will be scenic and winding, is a good time, Mr. Brozina says. All types of people participate, he explains, and a volunteer police es- cort leads the way. Registration is $30 per rider, and $15 per pas- senger. Pledge sheets are available for added con- tributions. Registration includes refreshments, dream catcher necklace, and admission to the pow- wow. Contact Mr. Brozina, 905-668-1477 ext. 22, or 905-985-9003, for more information or registra- tion.

Low-tech, cuddly, and endearing, the fuzzy favorite continues to be loved by generation after generation. But did you know that teddy can aid in your child’s development? According to toy experts Joanne and Stephanie Oppenheim, teddys and other classic toys can play a role in helping children develop analytical and social skills. TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOLERS For older toddlers, a soft cuddly bear can quickly become a treasured friend. Like a security blanket, the bears help make difficult life transitions easier for your child. Taking them along to unfamiliar or stressful new settings, like day care and the doctor’s office can provide some much-needed comfort. Toddlers also enjoy hugging and lugging oversized huggables with other important belongings. Developing motor skills are reinforced when your child loads and unloads lightweight but “hefty” possessions like a plush toy. As your child’s language skills grow, so will his or her budding imagination. Providing your child with the props for pretend play will encourage storytelling ability, which provides children with the foundation skills for reading and writing. Another benefit of a classic, low-tech bear is that it can say whatever your child wants it to say; the play is directed by your child. You’ll often hear the language you use with your child being spoken to the toy because most preschoolers like to try on more adult roles. As with older toddlers, preschoolers will still find great comfort and companionship from a favorite toy. As many parents can attest, it’s not unusual for a preschooler to become very attached to one particular item that simply “must” go along everywhere he or she goes. OLDER CHILDREN By his or her early school years you’ll often find that your child will want to build collections. As he or she explores their role in the family, school and community, collecting helps provide a sense of structure and a way of ordering the world. Encourage your child to write stories or plays for their bears that he or she can illustrate as well. Kids are also fascinated with how things are made. For example, the opportunity to make their own teddy bear at a Build-A-Bear Workshop® can help fulfill their natural curiosity as well as foster a sense of creativity, confidence and accomplishment. For more information on where you can make your own a bear, visit www.buildabear.com. TEENS AND ‘TWEENS Even as children move through the ‘tween and teen years, and beyond. Beloved toys often become collectibles that provide an acceptable way of keeping one foot in childhood, while allowing them to express their own interests and personalities. No matter what their ages, there is a comfort factor in having a warm and cuddly friend that asks for nothing more than a hug.

DURHAM — A fund-raiser this week- end promises a fun day on the links. The AIDS Committee of Durham holds its first-ever fund-raising golf tournament Saturday, July 20. Supporting the event is the Simple Alternative Funeral Centre. Golfing will be at the Four Seasons Country Club in north Pickering, starting at 10 a.m., followed by a barbecue at the fu- neral centre, on Brock Road between Hwy. 401 and Bayly Street. A day of activities are also planned at the funeral centre, including live entertainment, crafters and artisans selling their wares, and a display and sale of fine art. There’s also a face painter for the children, games, clowns and refreshments. It all starts at noon. Prizes and trophies for the golf, along with dinner, begins at 5:30 p.m. The cost is $95, which includes green fees, use of a cart and a steak barbecue. Tickets for the barbecue only are $20. For more information or to register, call the AIDS Committee of Durham at 905- 576-1445 or tournament organizer Ron Ire- land at 905-619-6714. Tee off for AIDS committee What would Durham do in strike? Tip composting habits in your favour and help reduce your waste During Toronto’s garbage strike, it was reported many discarded bags contained recyclables and organics. It was noted if more people recycled and everyone composted, there wouldn’t be such a problem. If Durham were in the same labour dispute, would you drag bags of garbage and line up at a transfer sta- tion or simply save recyclables, com- post, and refuse to purchase dispos- able items? Pickering’s Amberlea res- idents have the green cart in the ‘rolling to reduce’ pilot project and this study is proving people are ready and willing to separate kitchen scraps for composting. Until other areas in- clude a kitchen organics collection system, you can still join the many Canadians who are now composting in order to produce a rich soil condi- tioner for their gardens and, at the same time, reducing household garbage by one-third. First, gather a supply of accessible leaves and twigs. You don’t need any special knowledge, nor do you need to be a dedicated gardener. After you have acquired a composter and found a convenient location, start with a base of brush cuttings, which provide carbon to the pile and ensure good airflow. Next, add fruit/vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, etc., which give the pile nitrogen. Try to add a handful of leaves after each pail full of kitchen scraps to give the proper carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. You can also include cooled wood ashes, sawdust from untreated wood, clothes dryer lint, hair clippings, pet fur, wilted flowers, bits of cotton, felt, rope, wool, feathers and string, as well as pulp paper egg cartons and takeout drinking trays. Items that should not be placed into a composter include: meat scraps, fats or dairy products. Here are some other tips to follow in maintaining your composter: • Include water from leftover tea, cooking pasta, etc. to keep your com- post pile moist; • Add soil occasionally to suppress any odour and to introduce more micro-organisms to speed up the de- composition; • If you have little yard trimmings, use ripped up cardboard, paper egg cartons, and brown paper bags to give the pile the carbon it needs; • By turning the compost with a pitchfork or prodding it with an air ventilator, it will help to rejuvenate the natural process causing the pile to heat up. In a few months you should have some compost at the bottom of your unit; • In autumn, save leaves to add to your composter all winter; • Before the frost, remove the unit, turn over the pile and add lots of leaves. Cover with a dark plastic to draw the sun’s heat. The mound should be ready to use in the spring. Now you have an empty composter to start the winter. In cold weather the cycle is slower and your unit will be full by April. With spring’s return, your pile will quickly decrease in vol- ume; and • Apartment dwellers can use a vermicompost bin with the use of red wiggler worms. Currently, the City of Pickering has 30 composters at the civic centre for the subsidized cost of $20. In order to be supportive of all composting initiatives, the Compost- ing Council of Canada, a non-profit organization, was established in 1991. Membership is open to all those concerned with advancing the development of composting in Cana- da. Visit www.compost.org. Larraine Roulston Recycler’s Corner roulstonlp@sympatico.ca Help stop alien invasion PICKERING —We’re being invaded... Not by aliens, but by exotic plants. These plants, including dog strangling vine and common buckthorn, are similar to purple loosestrife in that they take away habitat from na- tive plant species and provide little to no benefit to local birds, rep- tiles, insects and mammals. Volunteers are needed to help with the removal of these two ‘alien’ plants from a local woodlot area. To find out more about the plants and meth- ods of control, join the City of Pickering for a morning of plant pulling and dig- ging Saturday, July 20 at the West Shore Com- munity Centre, off Bayly Street. The session runs from 10 a.m. to noon. The French- man’s Bay Water- shed Rehabilita- tion Project group will provide plant identification, garbage bags, gloves and shov- els.

There are a variety of discount available, so it helps to know the right questions to ask. A booklet, Shopping For Car Insurance, published and distributed free-of charge by the Financial Service Commission of Ontario (FSCO) is an invaluable source for tips and information. It covers everything from how to compare price and service; to deciding on optional coverage; to understanding insurance language; to reducing your rates. Discounts are available, but each company applies them differently. It is wise to bring information such as the following, to the attention of your broker, agent of insurance company: Q: I am employed by a large corporation and belong to a union. Do I get any breaks on my car insurance? A: A group insurance discount could be in store for you if you are a member of an organized group of persons that is a labour union, a professional or occupational association, an alumni association or a non-profit organization. Q: Will I get a discount if I use the same company that insures my home? Do I get a break on each car insure? A: These are two powerful reasons to get a discount. Multi-policy discounts can range from 3 to 15, Multi -vehical discounts range from 5 to 15%. Q: I’m a senior and my yearly mileage is much lower than the average driver. Should I get discount? A: Seniors with good driving records often qualify for a discount, and low yearly mileage is a good argument for lowering everyone’s premiums.

A phone call to Hewitt-Henderson was all it took to find another swim home. “I know her and I think she’s a great coach and it will be good oppor- tunity for me to work with her,” said Ottenbrite, who’s moving along with her family to Port Perry next week. Suffice it to say, Pickering Swim Club president Krista Griffith said the club is overjoyed to have such a high- calibre coach on staff. Ottenbrite will handle the club’s ‘junior blue’ group when the next swimming session be- gins in the fall at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex pool. “We’re very fortunate to have her. It really is a coup for us to have some- one of that ranking come to us. For us, we’re already happy with our head coach and now we have someone of her calibre at the age group level. It gives us a wide range of excellent coaches,” said Griffith. Coaching has been Ottenbrite’s passion for the past 12 years and she’s instructed at the university, high school and age group level along the way. She said she enjoys helping up- and-coming swimmers set goals and then watching them achieve them. “I don’t expect everyone to reach that pinnacle (of Olympic gold), but I expect them to get the same satisfac- tion out of reaching goals as I did,” she said. A former member of the Ajax Aquatic Club, Ottenbrite has a storied past in swimming, setting numerous Canadian and Commonwealth records en route to her Olympic glory in 1984. She won a gold medal in the 200-metre breaststroke, breaking a 72-year medal drought in Olympic swimming for Canada. She was also a silver medallist in the 100m breast- stroke and swam for Canada’s 4-x- 100m medley relay team that took bronze. In the aftermath of her Olympic triumph, Ottenbrite was named to the Order of Canada later that year at age 18. Among the accolades that fol- lowed in the wake of her Olympic tri- umphs was the renaming in her hon- our of the pool at Whitby’s Iroquois Sports Centre.

OLYMPIAN from page B1 SCOREBOARD from page B2 Fax it: 905-683-7363 BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM –– An aversion to Whitby winters took John Elray far from the home he knew here from 1961 to 1971 in what was then the north end of town, near Brock Street and Rossland Road. Today, at 49, he lives in Hawaii near Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. But the former resi- dent has not been idle in paradise. He’s just published his first novel, ‘Khalifah,’ and plans to write more. Memories of his studies at local schools - St. Bernard, St. Theresa and St. John the Evangelist Catholic schools, Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High and Henry Street High School - bring back early writing ex- periences. “I really made the rounds here,” he recalls. “I enjoyed writing for school projects (like) my ‘masterpiece’ on New York City for Grade 6 geogra- phy class.” The subject of ‘Khalifah,’ howev- er, is even farther removed from Elray’s Hawaii home. The 336-page novel tells the tale of the struggle for control in the early years of the Mus- lim world, its seventh century protag- onist’s empire stretching from Egypt to Persia. Elray’s own journeys seem just as vast. After leaving Whitby in August 1971 to attend the University of Toronto as a chemistry major, he says he soon became disillusioned with the field when the job prospects for chemists took a nosedive in 1972. He then worked as a research assistant with U of T’s high energy physics de- partment for a year before transfer- ring to an engineering program at Ry- erson Polytechnical Institute (now Ryerson University). Upon complet- ing the three-year course of studies at Ryerson, he left Toronto for warmer climes, travelling the Caribbean and Latin America. “(This was) my first venture out- side of Canada during the winter of 1976,” he says. Eventually, after completing graduate school in 1985, he took an engineering assignment in Hawaii and has lived there for most of the past 17 years. But no matter how far and wide his tropical excur- sions took him, the journeys made possible by writing fiction became more and more important to him. “I never really considered it seri- ously until the age of 40 when I real- ized writing was what I really wanted to do,” he says. “Over the past 20- plus years, I’ve done a lot of techni- cal writing in my real job as an engi- neering consultant, but that’s only part of the job and a lot different than being a published author.” It hasn’t been easy, as any pub- lished author will tell you. It took Elray 10 years to write ‘Khalifah’ from start to finish, working most nights and weekends. “The first six months were exclu- sively research, which continued off and on throughout the project through library, museum (here and in Europe), and Internet sources,” he ex- plains. “What followed, five years later, was a complete and consistent first draft. At that point I thought it was done. Big surprise. After a year’s hiatus, I performed three or four complete revisions and a couple of partial revisions as I was learning the art and business of writing at writers’ workshops and conferences (primari- ly the noted annual Maui Writers Conference).” The history contained in ‘Khali- fah’ begs the question whether Sept. 11 changed the way the book was completed. “No,” says Elray, “the book was completed and cast in concrete by June of 2001.” So, does the novelist with a Whit- by past ever brave the cool local cli- mate? “Yes, periodically to visit my par- ents,” he says. “As a matter of fact, I was in Whitby just recently during the early part of May.” ‘Khalifah’ was picked up for pub- lication by a small independent pub- lisher, Aardwolfe Books, in 2001, which also distributes it. The novel is also available through all major on- line book sources and should be in Indigo-Chapters stores this month.

A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 17, 2002 Noah’s Ark floats in for drama camp next month DURHAM –– A one-week summer drama camp is being sponsored in August by Clar- ington/Whit- by/Pickering community churches. Designed for children ages four to eight, the camp will see children per- form Kaye Umansky’s comic version of ‘Noah’s Ark.’ The camp will be held from Aug. 19- 23 at the Montessori School gym at Kingsview United Church, 505 Adelaide Ave. E., Os- hawa. The pro- duction of the play will be held Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. Auditions will be held prior to July 21. The cost of the camp is $80.

It’s time for the Highlands of Durham Games. The Games, July 20, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 28, will include animal shows, highland dancing, sheep dog trials, a British car show, heavy games (caber toss, hammer throw, tug of war), a charity golf tourna- ment, and much more. A new tartan for the Games, reg- istered in Edinburgh, will be worn by over 500 highland dancers, and four event organizers. The tartan’s colours symbolize the three town- ships of north Durham: green, for the fields of Uxbridge; blue, for the waters of Lake Scugog; yellow, for the sunsets over Lake Simcoe in the Township of Brock; and red and white for Canada. Visitors to the sheep dog trials should bring their own lawn chair. “We always wanted to (have our own tartan),” says Stewart Bennett, Games director. “This year, we have it.” Mr. Bennett says he is excited about this year’s Games, and hopes the event draws many tourists to the area. He says he hopes local residents will attend as well. “(The Games) give (people) a chance to renew their pride and Celtic heritage,” he explains, adding that individuals without British heritage love the Games also. He explains how an acquain- tance of his, with no Scottish back- ground, went to the games for an hour, and ended up staying for two days. This year, special to the Games, will be a highland wedding on July 27 at 10 a.m. in Elgin Park, Uxbridge. Rings will be flown to the ceremony by a falcon, and the public is invited to attend. Mr. Ben- nett says the wedding will be “very Scottish.” People wanting to open their homes as bed and breakfasts for the Games are still needed, adds Mr. Bennett, as he has already received several calls for accommodations. Details about the events, along with times and locations, can be found by visiting www.highland- sofdurhamgames.com, or by call- ing 1-888-253-5552.

PICKERING, AJAX, WHITBY ANIMAL SERVICES There are compelling reasons to make this choice! Your pet will be healthier and happier, and you will be saving lives. Many people just aren’t aware that there is an overwhelming and tragic pet over population problem. Last year alone, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services took in 658 stray and homeless pets - an increase of 27% over the previous year. Far too many of these pets do not find a new home and family. There are just not enough good homes for the numbers of animals being born. And because people aren’t aware of the problem, they often allow their own pets, either accidentally or on purpose, to add to the crisis. Of course, all baby animals are adorable and it is hard to accept that these little miracles of life could bring anything but joy into the world. Sadly, the reality is that for every new pet baby born one more potential home is taken away from the hundreds of already born homeless animals waiting and hoping for a second chance. Your pet will be better off too! An altered pet is a more content, gentle and affectionate pet. And an altered pet is a healthier pet, less likely to get mammary or testicular cancer, less territorial, no messy heat for females, and males less likely to wander in search of the ladies. By far the majority of pets hit by cars are unneutered males! Please help us end the pet overpopulation tragedy. Make an appointment with your vet today! S.

Tournament scores $50,000 for Grandview children services BY BRIAN LEGREE Staff Editor DURHAM — Six-time Stanley Cup champion Dick Duff came all the way from Port Credit for the Grandview Charity Golf Tournament. But this wasn’t about him. CFTO-TV sports anchor Lance Brown, one of Uxbridge’s most recogniz- able faces, returned from his family’s vacation near Peterborough to play the Grandview event at Mill Run Golf Course. But this wasn’t about him, either. Paralympic athlete Rob Snoek of Bowmanville, who has represented Cana- da on the international stage for more than a decade, came in for the tourney. But this, too, was- n’t about him. Nor is it about Oshawa radio per- sonality Terry Johnston, who helped emcee the pro- ceedings. More than 150 golfers anted up $175 to play golf on the gently rolling terrain in Uxbridge Wednesday, but this most certainly was- n’t about them either. The Grandview golf tourney is about kids — more than 3,100 of them — from all over Durham Region, who need the services offered by the children’s centre. The sixth annual Grand- view tournament raised over $50,000 for the chil- dren’s centre, which has its main facility in Oshawa, but also has satellite offices in Ajax, Bowmanville, Port Perry and Uxbridge. Mr. Snoek, a sprinter who can cover the 100 me- tres in 11.9 seconds on an artificial leg, said much like the challenges he’s faced, the programs at Grandview are inspira- tional. “It’s possible to take disadvantages and turn them into advantages,”he told the gathering. “I think that’s what Grandview is all about, through computer technol- ogy and interacting with peers.” Mr. Snoek also said he believes golf is an acronym which — in Grandview’s case — means “gener- ating opportunities lasting forever.” Funds raised at the tourney are earmarked for Grandview’s new recreation and leisure program, said Linda Watson, the centre’s executive director. In its short six-year existence, the tournament has raised more than $140,000 for Grandview. This year’s event also featured long-drive specialist Todd Yarrow of Oshawa, who staged a clinic prior to the tournament and played a hole with each group. Like every charity tournament held during the golf season, the event enjoys incredible support from the corporate community, including Metroland community newspapers in Durham, but special mention goes to major sponsors EDS and Scotiabank. Legendary Toronto Maple Leafs winger Dick Duff (second from right) has a thing or two to say about golf during the annual charity tournament for Grandview Chil- dren’s Centre, which serves more than 3,500 children across Durham Region.

Your hometown newspaper “not exactly as illustrated” Mysterious-looking package sparks building evacuation DURHAM –– A bomb scare in downtown Oshawa closed a bus sta- tion and sections of Centre and Bond streets for about two hours last week, forcing motorists to take detours. The bus terminal on the corner of Centre and Bond streets and its at- tached parking lot were evacuated after a suspicious package was left in a first-floor stairwell around 4 p.m. Thursday, according to Durham Re- gional Police. “Someone called and said ‘we have a device we suspect is explosives so we’re evacuating our building’,” said Sergeant. Paul Malik, media spokesman for the Durham Regional Police. The explosives disposal unit arrived shortly after to investigate what Sgt. Malik described as a “white package wrapped in paper with some sort of rod sticking out of it.” The mysterious-looking package was not a bomb, police determined. While police were investigating, vehicles were prevented from travel- ling south on Centre Street and west on Bond Street. Traffic was rerouted north on Simcoe and south to Park until approximately 6 p.m. The investigation continues. CALL (905) 683-0707 Some products may vary due to availability. FREE!
