BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING — Vendors went to the source Tuesday morning in their fight to keep the Pickering Markets open for six more months. Armed with placards read- ing, ‘First Pro Stop Destroying Small Business’, about 130 pro- testers delivered four crates of sour grapes to First Pro Shop- ping Centre’s head office in Scarborough. “First Pro owes the commu- nity and the Pickering market vendors time to relocate,” said Tom Ristov, a member of the Pickering Markets Merchants Association, which was formed to negotiate a smooth transition with First Pro. “I look at my family and I wonder how am I going to af- ford my mortgage. How am I going to afford my bills?” he said “I can’t afford a six-month vacation.” First Pro is set to demolish the Metro East Trade Centre, which houses the markets, Feb. 1 as part of its plan to build big box stores there. Vendors have to vacate the building Jan. 31 and, while a new home is in the works, it may not be complete for several months afterwards. “We want them to let us run our businesses until a new site is ready,” he said. “Hopefully ten- ants who want to occupy the site will allow us time to move.” Mr. Ristov, who was accom- panied by his wife and their three small children, said he fears his produce stand will lose the clientele it has built over the last five years if it is shut down for several months. “I asked (my kids) if we could afford to take six months off and they said, ‘I need to eat every day’,” he added. Joining in on the fight was A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Tom Ristov, a member of the Pickering Markets Merchants Association, makes a point Tuesday during a protest outside the head office of First Pro Shopping Centre. With their current home facing demolition in February, the group is attempting to acquire more time to find a new home before being uprooted. Market vendors plead for more time Mixed reaction to hydro cap BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING — Dave Palachik sure could use the break. His last hydro bill was $1,200, that’s more than dou- ble what he usually pays to run On-Site Service, a local computer sales and service centre. But it’s the independent In- ternet provider service he of- fers, which really took the hit, to the tune of $300 more this past billing. “That part of the company was losing. We thought we were going to have to ask our customers to pay 20 per cent more, but we didn’t do it,” Mr. Palachik said. “We use a lot of electricity. There are 12 massive comput- ers here that run all the time.” It’s no surprise the owner greeted with glee the Province’s plans to cap hydro rates and issue rebates over the next several months. But making rebates retroactive to May 1, when the electricity industry was first deregulated, was shocking, Mr. Palachik said. “As a consumer, at home, I’m pleased to get that money back,” he said. “But I’m a small business owner. They usually take, take, take.” Premier Ernie Eves an- nounced Monday hydro rates will be frozen at 4.3 cents per kilowatt hour, along with a re- fund “of every penny” of the difference between the 4.3 cents price of power and what consumers actually paid since deregulation. He also promised to cap delivery charges, order an in- dependent review of how other charges are calculated on electricity bills to ensure they are reasonable, and de- mand the federal government stop charging GST on hydro bills. The Province is also devel- Burch appears set to lead school board BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —It appears public school board trustees opted for a familiar face in picking a new education direc- tor. Tw o, well-placed sources confirmed to the News Adver- tiser that Craig Burch, the Durham District School Board’s operations superinten- dent, was to be named the new director at a special board meet- ing held last night. He could not be reached for comment. The board had planned to announce the incoming director next Monday, but after trustees made the decision on the week- end, board chairman Elizabeth Roy said it was better to go public right away and avoid a week of speculation. “We came to a decision on Saturday,” she said in an inter- view. “We have agreement, so we thought it would be better for the system if we made the announcement.” Tr ustee Roy would not iden- tify the new director.

For the first time, students will soon be able to obtain a nursing de- gree without leaving Durham Re- gion. Opening in September 2003, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology will offer a four-year collaborative Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing program with Durham College - its partner in edu- cation. A nursing degree from Canada’s newest university couldn’t come at a better time. By 2005 this designation will be required to practise as a regis- tered nurse in Ontario. “There’s no better time to choose a rewarding career in nursing,” says Carolyn Byrne, dean of the School of Health Science at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “It’s one of the few professions that’s priv- ileged to touch all aspects of people’s lives. It’s scope and areas of practice are unlimited.” She says the population of Durham Region is expected to grow substantially in the next 30 years and the need for health-care services, in- cluding nursing, will increase dra- matically. It’s estimated by 2004, the province will face a shortage of more than 12,000 nurses in the hospital sector alone. Dr. Byrne speaks with enthusiasm about state-of-the-art nursing labs that have been designed to provide students with practical, hands-on ex- perience in hospital and home-care settings - with the latest technology right at their fingertips. UOIT has the distinction of being Ontario’s first laptop-based universi- ty, where each student will receive a current model of the IBM ThinkPad to be used in fully networked class- rooms and learning spaces or any- where on campus. “Students will benefit tremen- dously from our small class sizes and get the individual attention they de- serve from highly qualified faculty,” says Dr. Byrne. “At our university, students won’t feel like they’re just another number - they are our reason for being.” Students in the nursing degree program will acquire the foundations for excellence in clinical practice, as well as lifelong learning, research, teamwork and leadership skills es- sential for a nursing career. Students will develop strong communication, critical-thinking and problem-solv- ing skills. Close to 50 health-care employers provide placement experience for nursing students in Durham Region and beyond. Research is an important part of the university’s School of Health Sci- ence. Dr. Byrne recently met with stakeholders from the Durham Re- gion’s health care community to de- termine the key areas in which health research is needed. Initially, research will focus on community health is- sues that frequently involve hospi- tals, public health organizations and social service agencies. The universi- ty is currently applying for major funding grants to carry out its re- search. Information session Nov. 13:Stu- dents, parents, teachers, guidance counsellors and members of the com- munity are invited to attend the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology’s first information session on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2002, to learn about the university’s nursing pro- gram, meet the dean and tour the new facilities. The session will be held in the South Wing of the Oshawa cam- pus at 2000 Simcoe Street North from 6 to 8 p.m. For more informa- tion, visit www.uoit.ca, call 1-866- 844-8648 or e-mail admissions@uoit.ca. Four-year nursing degree at Durham’s UOIT among program options for double-cohort grads Carolyn Byrne, Dean School of Health Science An associate professor at McMaster University’s School of Nursing, Professor Carolyn Byrne is an investigator in two re- search units, the system-linked Research Unit on Health and Social Service Utiliza- tion, and the community-linked AIDS Re- source Unit. She will continue research col- laboration with McMaster University, as well as establish research at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Her clinical work as a nurse and psy- chotherapist is in the area of mental health, and she has considerable expertise in un- derstanding depression as well as its im- pact on spouses and the capacity to parent. She is an experienced teacher in graduate and undergraduate programs, and is the former chairman of the undergraduate nursing program. In 1999 she received the President’s Award for Educational Leadership at McMaster. A graduate of the Hamilton Civic School of Nursing, Professor Byrne received her Master of Health Sciences from McMaster in 1981 and her PhD from the University of Guelph in 2001. Students interested in the nursing degree program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology should apply through the Ontario Col- lege Application Services. Entrance requirements include an Ontario Sec- ondary School Diploma (OSSD) with a minimum average of 70 per cent in six courses.These include: * under the new Ontario curricu- lum, six 12U or M credits includ- ing English (ENG4U), one math, biology, chemistry or physics, or; * six OAC credits including Eng- lish OA1, one math, biology, chemistry or physics. “We encourage applicants who meet other equivalent academic qual- ifications to apply and their applica- tions will be reviewed on an individ- ual basis,” adds Carolyn Byrne, dean of the School of Health Science at UOIT. Graduates of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s nursing degree program will be pre- pared to write the licensing examina- tion for the College of Nurses of On- tario. For more information about the Bachelor of Science in Nursing pro- gram, visit www.uoit.ca or call 1.866.844.8648. Applying for a degree in nursing Dan McTeague, MP for Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge, who called the issue important not only to Pickering but the entire country. “People ask me why, as a federal member, am I getting involved in this,” he said. “When you put 350 people out of work and onto the employment lines, then by God, it’s a federal issue.” First Pro’s plans to tear down the trade centre and redevelop the proper- ty have been public since October 2001, said Ornella Richichi, director of land development. She said it has allowed vendors to stay through this Christmas season, but First Pro needs to demolish the centre in February to ensure construc- tion can begin in March and be com- plete by next fall. “We have a commitment for the ex- isting tenants on our property and we can’t indefinitely ask our tenants to wait,” Ms. Richichi said. “It could be eight or nine months (before a new market is built).” She wouldn’t name her tenants, just that an anchor store would be built at the market and several retail stores around it. “We feel confident we have done all we can do, both in helping them find a new home and in following the process as prescribed by the City,” she said. The property is currently underde- veloped and never fulfilled Pickering’s vision for the trade centre, Ms. Richichi said. It generates $280,000 in taxes now for the City, but when rede- veloped, it will bring $2.3 million to the municipality and create 1,200 jobs, she said. First Pro says its plans known for long time Current director Grant Yeo an- nounced in August he would be retiring in January after six years at the helm of the 70,000-student board. Six people applied for the job. Mr. Burch was appointed operations superintendent just before the start of the current school year. The depart- ment addresses individual and board- wide staff development needs and is re- sponsible for business-industry part- nerships, continuing education and the Durham Alternative Secondary School. Before that, Mr. Burch was the board’s employee relations superinten- dent, in charge of staff recruitment and hiring and all aspects of labour rela- tions, including collective agreements. At the same time, he was superinten- dent of schools in Scugog Township. Mr. Burch is also the board’s au- thority on proper meeting procedure.

NEW from page A1 FIRST from page A1 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM –– A Durham Region prosecutor once compared him to a terrorist, but anti-poverty activist John Clarke makes “no apologies.” Moments after charges against the controversial leader of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty were with- drawn yesterday, the 48-year-old Toronto resident said he had ab- solutely no regrets about OCAP’s mock “eviction” that saw protesters trash the Whitby riding office of MPP Jim Flaherty on June 12, 2001. The demonstration, targeting the Whitby-Ajax MPP, who was On- tario’s finance minister at the time, resulted in the arrests of Mr. Clarke and 18 others, accused of storming and ransacking the Dundas Street constituency office. Displays and cabinets were over- turned, anti-government posters were pasted over windows and office furni- ture, papers and supplies were tossed out onto the sidewalk and street. OCAP took credit for what it called a protest symbolic of govern- ment policies it says has led to a growing number of evictions of On- tario’s poor. “It was to respond to the misery of the homeless and the plague of evic- tions his government... is responsible for,” Mr. Clarke said outside court. “We will be issuing no apologies to what happened at Mr. Flaherty’s office.” Accused of spearheading the ram- page, Mr. Clarke was charged with mischief causing property damage exceeding $5,000, causing a distur- bance, unlawful assembly and three counts of breaching bail conditions. The last charges stemmed from the terms of his release on charges relat- ing to a 2000 demonstration at Queen’s Park that turned violent. OCAP’s controversial protest tac- tics have been condemned by some of its own supporters in the past. How- ever, Mr. Clarke said, “If we’re going to oppose the agenda of this govern- ment we are going to have to resist it seriously.” Mr. Clarke was originally denied bail by a justice of the peace. He spent 25 days in Whitby Jail before a Superior Court justice ordered him released. A prosecutor compared the protest to an “act of terrorism” at the hearing. “She must lead a very quiet life if she considered that an act of terror- ism,” said Mr. Clarke, a founding or- ganizer of OCAP. The trial of Mr. Clarke and several other OCAP accused was scheduled to go ahead yesterday in the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa. Instead, Mr. Clarke made a $500 charitable donation to Simcoe Hall Settlement House in Oshawa, which runs a food bank, and was placed on a 12-month peace bond. The recognizance was imposed by Judge Paul Bellefontaine at the re- quest of prosecutor Michael Hill, with Mr. Clarke’s consent. Under terms of the court order he must keep the peace and remain 100 metres away from any constituency office of an MP or MPP in Durham Region. Court was told the peace bond is based on “reasonable fear” Mr. Clarke will damage the property of Mr. Flaherty, on account of a prior threat. In exchange for the court order and donation, the Crown withdrew the charges against Mr. Clarke. He is scheduled to stand trial in January on the Queen’s Park charges. Meanwhile, the Crown has also withdrawn dozens of charges - with- out any conditions - against another 12 OCAP protesters who were arrest- ed by Durham Regional Police in connection with the Whitby incident. One other accused made a $300 donation before his charges were dropped. Mr. Hill declined to comment when asked why the bulk of the charges were withdrawn. Only three of the 19 people charged have been found guilty of any offences. Sean Lee-Popham, 25, of Toronto, pleaded guilty yesterday to obstruct- ing police and breach of recog- nizance. Charges of causing a disturbance and escaping custody are to be with- drawn at his sentencing hearing in January, court was told. Jeffrey Shantz, 34, of Toronto, ear- lier pleaded guilty to causing a dis- turbance and Nathaniel Moses-Wein- er, 18, pleaded guilty to obstructing police. Both Toronto men received 18 months’ probation and were ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. Meanwhile, trial proceedings con- tinue today against John Mura, 59, and Shawn Michael Brant, 37, both of Toronto and charged with assault, causing a disturbance and mischief over $5,000. Several people have filed civil suits against Durham police alleging false arrest. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 13, 2002 PAGE A3 A/P Let’s the Outdoors!

Durham Regional Police said at 3 a.m. a man armed with a steel bar en- tered the Coffee Time at 800 Taunton Rd. W., demanded money from the clerk and emptied out the cash trays. The bandit fled in a white pickup truck, which was driven by an accom- plice, police said. At about 5:55 a.m., a truck match- ing the same description stopped at a Petro Canada gas station at Hwys. 35 and 115 in Newcastle, police said. The passenger filled up the tank, entered the kiosk, pulled out a hand- gun and demanded the 24-year-old manager hand over the money, police said. When the victim replied there was no money in the till, the would-be robber fled empty-handed to the wait- ing truck, which took off, police said. Police were also checking out a possible connection to a theft of gas from a station in Ajax on Saturday. The robbery unit is investigating. ...because education is important For further information on Community Newspapers in Education email us at newsroom@durhamregion.com This Week Canadian Statesman NEWS ADVERTISER Times-Journal DURHAM ––David Crom- bie will head up the advisory council that will determine the long-term fate of Durham’s nu- clear waste. Mr. Crombie has been chosen chairman of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s (NWMO) advisory council that will assist the organization’s board of directors in determin- ing a long-term storage solution for Canada’s nuclear spent fuel. The organization, comprised of Ontario Power Generation, Hydro Quebec and New Brunswick Power, was given the mandate by the federal govern- ment earlier this year to look at three options for long-term stor- age of the used nuclear fuel: ge- ological burial, on-site storage or a central depository for the waste. “The long-term management of used nuclear fuel is a signifi- cant public policy issue,” Mr. Crombie said. “I look forward to working with this outstanding panel pro- viding advice to the NWMO as it develops its plans.” Other members of the advi- sory council include: •David Cameron, professor of political science at the Universi- ty of Toronto; •Helen Cooper, former mayor of Kingston, community work- er; •Gordon Cressy, vice-presi- dent of Ryerson University; •Frederick Gilbert, president of Lakehead University; •Dr. Derek Lister, who holds a chair in nuclear engineering, University of New Brunswick; •Donald Obonsawin, former deputy minister of several On- tario government ministries; •Daniel Rozon, department head, engineering physics at Ecole Polytechnique in Montre- al.

Pledge forms are now avail- able at all Royal Bank loca- tions in Durham Region and at the Alzheimer Society's office in the Oshawa Centre for the Walk for Memories, being held Jan. 5. Proceeds benefit local sup- port services for more than 4,200 people living with Alzheimer Disease and relat- ed dementia. Last year, with almost 200 walkers, the event raised more than $37,000. As in the past, this year's Walk for Memories is at Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village. Walkers are invited to stay for lunch and family en- tertainment after the walk. In- centive prizes are also avail- able at certain pledge levels. All pledge walkers will also receive a free pass to visit Cullen Gardens the evening of the walk and see the Festival of Lights at its best. For more information, call the Alzheimer Society of Durham region at 905-576- 2567 or toll free at 1-888-301- 1106. Alzheimer’s walk for memories pledge forms available now oping an action plan for new electric- ity supply. While pleased with the immediate relief the plan offers, Mr. Palachik warns about the long-term implica- tions of the strategy. Like many gov- ernment critics, he believes it will cost more than the $700 million stored away in a consumer protection fund set aside by the Ontario Power Generation and Hydro One. “It will cost everyone in the long- term, we just won’t see it,” he said. Mr. Palachik said he was also shocked to hear about the $700 mil- lion set aside. “Here we are paying down the (old Ontario Hydro) debt and with GST,” he said. Pickering resident Susan Black said rebates and caps won’t work without investigating new energy sources. Her bill increased 13 per cent de- spite cutting down on her consump- tion by what she calculated at 16 per cent. She paid 7.4 cents per kWh on her recent bill, but also faced signifi- cant increases in delivery and con- nection charges. “I wish instead of deregulation they had tried to maintain (Ontario Hydro’s) debt,” she said. DURHAM — David Visser, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s business superintendent, said it remains to be seen if the announce- ment of hydro rebates and price caps will affect school boards. “If each school is considered a small business, then we may fall under the cap,” he said, in an interview. If the board does not qualify for the price cap, however, Mr. Visser said he fears it could mean higher costs for larger users like boards to make up for the break given home and small-busi- ness owners. “We wouldn’t support an undue burden being placed on boards to com- pensate,” said Mr. Visser. He said the board’s yearly hydro bill is about $2.5 million. The Durham District School Board spends about $4 million per year on hydro, said business superintendent Ron Trbovich. However, if the cost of hydro for boards is not capped and we have another hot summer next year, he said the bill would likely be $900,000 higher. Mr. Trbovich said he’s “confident” school boards would be taken into ac- count in a price cap, with the issue ad- dressed in provincial education fund- ing. He was far less confident that the board would receive a rebate. Mr. Trbovich noted the Province last year gave boards extra money to cover high natural gas costs. DURHAM —All the fuss about hydro bills recently won’t put a damper on the holidays in Ajax and Pickering this year. Both municipalities say they have no plans to cut back in their decorat- ing this season. Nor do they have plans to expand it either. “We don’t have a lot of Christmas lights,” said Brian Skinner, director of operations for the Town of Ajax. His department typically lights Harwood Avenue from Bayly Avenue to Kingston Road, and parts of Pick- ering Village. “Two years ago we also retrofitted a number of our light fixtures to a new style, which draw less electrici- ty,” Mr. Skinner explained. “The cost of hydro is a concern for all of us, but thankfully this is for a short period of time.” Chief administrative officer Tom Quinn said Pickering isn’t “jumping into panic mode” either. “I don’t think we go overboard. We light one place, the Esplanade Park around City Hall, for about three weeks. The lights go off around midnight.” Staff made the switch to low- wattage lights some time ago in preparation for climbing rates. “I didn’t need anyone to hit me in the head with a hydro bill,” Mr. Quinn said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 13, 2002 PAGE A5 P Valid until November 19, 2002, or while quantities last.

Stanley Mann, hired by Mr. Tuckett as a real estate agent, soon became a committed resi- dent. In the 1930s, he helped the residents form the Pickering Beach Community Association. The Associ- ation formalized its constitution in 1937 and elected officers in order to present their concerns about the roads, sanitation and other matters to the Township. After several successful years as a sales agent, he ac- cepted a pair of lots in lieu of commission from James Tuckett and built a store. He lived for a number of years above the store, but moved into a house after his marriage in 1946. Photos supplied by the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee on behalf of the Ajax Community Archives.

P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 13, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Proud members of Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 13, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Communities the losers in two-hatter debate To the editor: Re: ‘Two hatter bill on firefight- ers moves ahead,’Nov. 3. The Ontario Professional Fire- fighters Association (OPFFA) op- position to Bill 30 is one of pro- tection for its members and the community. Why would any union or mu- nicipality using two-hatters want their firefighters to contravene provincial legislation? The Fire Protection and Prevention Act limits hours a firefighter can work to a maximum 42 per week and mandates time off between shifts. Why would any union or municipality using two-hatters want their firefighters exposed to even greater risks of contracting one of many occupational dis- eases? Unbeknownst to most people, firefighters are at a much higher risk than the general population of contracting numerous occupa- tional diseases such as brain can- cer, leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, to name just a few. This fact has been recognized often by the provincial Work- place Safety and Insurance Board in the number of firefighter com- pensation claims they approve. When a full-time firefighter is injured at their volunteer job and can’t report for work at their full- time job, who covers the cost of the sick time? That burden falls upon the municipality that pays the full-time salary. When a major emergency happens such as the ice storms a few years back, where does the full-time firefighter respond, to his part- time or full-time job? One of the two communities loses out. Rob Leathen Ajax Something’s wrong here To the editor: There’s something wrong with a provincial government that dis- plays such incompetence at run- ning the services for which they collect our tax dollars. There’s something wrong with a government that causes such hardship to those on fixed and low incomes while paying out as- tronomical compensation pack- ages such as Eleanor Clitheroe’s. There’s something wrong with a government that insists things are going as planned when the sky is falling. There’s something wrong with this government. As my daughter used to say when she was two, ‘I smell sumpin.’ Susan L. Black, Pickering Questions raised on prisoners’ right to vote To the editor: Some thoughts I have on the logistics of dealing with the Supreme Court Ruling recogniz- ing prisoners’ right to vote... 1) Will the prisoners be en- couraged to ‘Get out and vote - you can make a difference?’ 2) Will prisoners be required or at least encouraged to partake in political discussion amongst themselves? 3) Will prisoners be allowed to make financial contributions to their favourite party or candidate or to campaign on behalf thereof? 4) Will receipts for tax purpos- es be issued for financial contri- butions? 5) Will voting be an indication of responsible good behaviour and count towards early parole? 6) Will polling stations be set up within the prisons or will the prisoners be escorted to an out- side polling station? 7) Will prisoners be entitled to have access to advance polls in the event they will be unavailable on voting day? 8) Will the prisoners’ votes count in the riding in which the prison is located or should they count in the home riding of each individual prisoner? 9) Will candidates be permit- ted or maybe required to go into the prisons to campaign and in- form the prisoners of the issues and party platforms? 10) Would guards and prison staff be permitted to campaign on behalf of the candidates? 11) Will prisoners be permit- ted to attend (under escort) polit- ical rallies and debates? 12) Will signs and placards be displayed throughout the prisons, i.e ‘Vote for Jean Chretien - He understands your plight’ or ‘A vote for the Liberal Party is a vote for even more prisoner rights and freedoms in the fu- ture?’ 13) Will prisoners also be wel- come to become members of a political party? 14) Will the prison population be permitted to put forth suitable individuals for possible nomina- tion as candidates or run some- one as an independent? 15) Will the prisoners be al- lowed to have a victory party?

This week’s question: Is the Province’s hydro rebate and capping of costs the right answer to controlling higher prices? ❑ Yes ❑No Last week’s question: Do you plan to participate in any local Remembrance Day ceremonies? ❑ No 43.9 per cent ❑ Yes 56.1 per cent Votes cast: 41 Cast your vote online at infodurhamregion.com Click and say Premier sends shockwaves across province Ernie Eves won’t be scapegoat for Hydro mess If Ernie Eves planned to win the next election, he had to come to grips with the Hydro bill nightmare now. One thing you can say about the premier: he heard loud and clear the howls of protest from one end of On- tario to the other and has admitted the move to open-mar- ket electricity pricing was a terrible mistake. Years in the making under Mr. Eves’s predecessor, Mike Harris, the vaunted hydro deregulation finally oc- curred May 1. Nobody noticed much for the first three or four months - until the bills began to roll in. It was truly a black October for many as some received invoices dou- ble and triple the amounts they paid before. The explana- tions of an uncommonly hot summer, that paying down the stranded Hydro debt of $38 billion was part of the new system, just didn’t wash. People screamed for relief. The premier heard the message and realized if he did- n’t act fast, he, and not just we, would pay a crippling price. Small businesses were looking at closing up shop, those on fixed incomes were worried about surviving the winter, and municipal governments were warning taxpay- ers they’d face a double-whammy: higher property taxes to pay for skyrocketing government hydro bills plus their own increased electricity costs. Why did it go so wrong? Ontario simply doesn’t pro- duce enough low-cost power to meet its immense de- mands. As a result, suppliers had to purchase power from out-of-province at premium rates to meet demand during the summer. When the bills came in a month ago, they re- flected that expensive power. Mr. Eves has scrapped the entire system as of Dec. 1, capping the cost at 4.3 cents per kilowatt hour. Refunds will also be provided to all who paid more than 4.3 cents, retroactive to May 1, 2002. In addition, an investigation into delays at restoring power at the Pickering nuclear generating station will be undertaken, hydro bills will be simplified and standardized across Ontario, tax incen- tives for conservation will be provided, and the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) board of directors, which came under heavy criticism for excessive salaries and benefits, will be revamped. The freeze is in effect until at least 2006. While relief has been provided, the problem of even- tually coming to terms with the real cost of hydro re- mains. At some point, some generation of Ontarians will have to face a growing hydro debt, which will only in- crease due to this latest freeze. We’ve got short-term gain for long-term pain. Mr. Eves must go back to the drawing board and figure out a better way. In the meantime, he’s bought his government some time. One of the things I’ve never been able to figure out, other than where babies come from, is why so many senior citizens drive so slowly. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been boned behind some sweet old couple in the obligatory champagne-coloured Park Avenue or LeSabre, putter- ing along at a good 10 klicks below the posted speed. And I al- ways scratch my head. Don’t these people realize they’re living on borrowed time! If anyone should be in a hurry to get some- where it’s a senior for heaven’s sake! What little time these folks have left should not be squan- dered behind the wheel; the lead car in a fuming column of 50. That’s why I’ve devised a new plan for Ontario’s highways. I think from now on where we drive on the road should be dictat- ed by our age. For instance, on a standard four-lane highway, very new drivers and drivers-in-train- ing will be allowed to drive only in the far right-hand lane, ostensi- bly the slowest and safest lane. The middle two lanes will be devoted to the bulk of drivers, those who have been driving for anywhere from five to 35 years. These two lanes should hum along nicely at approximately 20 to 30 kilometres above the limit. Now then, here is the real genius of my plan. The far left lane, his- torically known as the passing lane will now be reserved solely for seniors. There will be no speed limit. The far left lane will now become, in essence, an Octo- genarian Autobahn. Consider the brilliance of my plan. The trickle down economies of it are staggering. Car manufac- turers will now be able to market vehicles to a whole new, and ex- ponentially growing, niche. Picture the new Ford ‘Fogie’ fully loaded with a snarling 300 Horse V8 and a handy pill dis- penser. Or what about the incred- ibly high-tech Chrysler ‘Geezer’ with a computer chip that remem- bers for you. Imagine a pleasant- ly digitized voice gently nudging you in the right direction during those awkward moments “That woman beside you is your wife. Her name is Marion.” What about the Plymouth ‘Coot’ with its handy heads-up Checkers display, the Suzuki ‘Sil- verback’ an SUV with a sporty four-wheel drive walker in the trunk, and of course, the aptly named ‘Oldsmobile.’Who would- n’t want to be in on the ground floor of some of these projects? Our elders have spent a life- time obeying the speed limit. Let’s show them the respect they deserve and let them cut loose be- hind the wheel. Let them speed with impunity to their aged hearts desire. Remember these people are not travelling to mundane, unim- portant things like jobs. They are like the ‘fire keepers’ of old. In that car, along with the Scotch mints and the Ray Conniff tapes, are stories, wisdom and birthday presents for grandchildren. In short, the perpetuation of our cul- ture. So pull over folks and let ‘em through. Life is short, why waste it behind the wheel?

Hello, I’m Wendy Rayner. I lost 45 pounds of fat in six short months! I dropped from an uncomfortable size 16 to a petite size 4! I’m sharing my amazing true story with you in hopes that you too will be inspired to have the healthy life you deserve. For as long as I can remember dieting was a significant part of my life. I was always embarrassed about my size. If we went to a pool party, I would hide in shorts and oversized t-shirts. People would say to me, “Aren’t you hot?” “Not at all,” I would coolly lie. “I’m cool as a cucumber.” I wasn’t fooling anybody. They knew I was suffering to avoid showing my body. For 30 years I was on and off Weight Watchers. I tried all sorts of diets and gimmicks in between. I was depressed and desperate to find a better way. I saw an ad in the paper for Positive Changes Hypnosis Centres and said, “I’m there!” I called that very day for my free consultation. Positive Changes Delivered! I simply can’t express how satisfied I am. With Positive Changes, I melted off 45 lbs. easily! And keeping my weight off is a snap. My hypnosis program totally blew away everything else I’d tried. I have no cravings. I don’t feel deprived. I never have those dieter’s hunger pangs. The only time I’m hungry is when it’s the right time to eat. Is that really me in leather pants? I have had so much fun shopping for clothes now that I am slim. At my first session, my hypnotist asked me what I would be wearing when I lost my 45 pounds. I said, “I will be wearing a pair of black leather pants.” As you can see in my after pictures, I have my leather pants, in a sleek size 4, and I look great in them! Now that I have lost my weight with Positive Changes, I know I will never gain it back. Call today, start slimming tomorrow. If you’re ready to lose your weight for good, and feel as good as you can possibly feel, I urge you to pick up your telephone and call Positive Changes Hypnosis right now. Ask to schedule your complimentary hypnosis screening and demonstration. If you’re like me, it will be the best decision of your life! Call now.

Not intended to solicit properties currently listed for sale. DURHAM REGION - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your free copy of this report, call 1-800-515- 1698 and enter ID# 1001. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home. A.J.

BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —More than 75 floats and bands are getting set to take to the streets this weekend. The 35th annual Santa Claus Parade is Saturday, Nov. 16, beginning at 10 a.m. “This year’s theme is ‘Christmas in the city’,” said parade committee chair- man Randy Thompson. “We have a theme every year. This one’s about coming back to family values.” Organized annually by the Kins- men-Kinette Club of Pickering, the procession launches from Vaughan Willard Public School at the corner of Dixie and Glenanna roads. It then heads east along Glenanna, crosses Kingston Road and finishes up behind the Pickering Town Centre. Mrs. Claus is accompanying Santa again this year on his float, said Mr. Thompson, adding her debut in 2001 was a big hit. “They will be interacting with the crowd again this year through a sound system instead of them trying to ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ over everyone,” he said. “We had great feedback from it last year.” Five judges, made up of local digni- taries, will determine the best commu- nity float, the best commercial or cor- porate float and the best youth group float. Kinsmen-Kinette Club president Daisy Poyner will presents the presi- dent’s award for “whatever catches her eye” during the parade, said Mr. Thompson. After the parade, Santa takes his seat at the Pickering Town Centre, where he’ll hear children’s requests up until the holiday. “There will be lots of goodies hand- ed out this year at the parade,” added Mr. Thompson.

Dec. 7 and 8 BABY, TODDLER and KIDS SHOW NOV. 16TH & 17TH Breakfast Bingo Call her Premier Valerie Davis BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Valerie Davis has a newfound respect for Ontario Pre- mier Ernie Eves. The Pickering teen recently spent a day in his shoes as part of a mock par- liament performed at the Ontario Fes- tival. “I got to experience how a bill was introduced and what it takes to get it through,” she said. “It really gave me an appreciation for what he does.” The moment was definitely one of the highlights in a month spent as a page at Queen’s Park. And talk about good timing. Va- lerie’s stint, which ran from Sept. 23 to Oct. 18, just happened to coincide with the visit of Queen Elizabeth II, who was celebrating her golden jubilee. The 13-year-old actually performed the mock debate for Her Royal High- ness and had a chance to meet the monarch beforehand. “She really struck me as one of those people who could be your grand- mother,” said Valerie. “I just wanted to reach out and hug her.” Valerie applied for the page pro- gram last January. She received a phone call in July telling her she would be reporting to Queen’s Park instead of Holy Redeemer Catholic School for the first month of her Grade 8 studies. To be considered, students had to have an average of 80 per cent or bet- ter and take an active role in the com- munity. Valerie sports an impressive portfo- lio, taking part in Pathfinders and her church choir. She also volunteered at the gift drop booth every Saturday at the Pickering Markets last Christmas, which helped raise money for the March of Dimes. The teen and her family often help out at St. Paul’s on-the-Hill food bank as well. As a page, Valerie spent each day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Queen’s Park. She learned to ride the TTC each day from her grandparents’ home in North Yo rk. “I love the subway,” she said. Her morning duties included setting up desks for each MPP in the Ontario legislature before learning about the parliamentary system in class with other students in the page program. “At one o’clock (p.m.) we would do any last-minute preparations in the leg- islature and then spend from 1:30 to 6 (p.m.) in the house,” Valerie said.

Judges is one of 10 nominees from across the country for the 2002 NFL/CFL high school coach of the year. The award, in its fourth year, recognizes coaches who make sig- nificant contributions to the game of football and to the development of players on and off the field. As head coach at St. Mary for the past three years, Judges has enjoyed his fair share of success, leading the Monarchs to Lake Ontario Sec- ondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) titles in each of those seasons. He said he’s honoured to be among the nominees. “I’m very surprised to be nomi- nated,” said Judges after his Mon- archs team captured its fourth con- secutive Durham senior football title Saturday. “To me, it’s just amazing flattery.” Former player Trevor Small, who currently plays football on the Uni- versity of Guelph Gryphons varsity team, nominated Judges. In his nom- ination essay, Small describes his former coach as having an “unbeat- able work ethic” that has enabled the football program at St. Mary to grow and gain respect. “Coach used to say, ‘Practice doesn’t make perfect; perfect prac- tice makes perfect’. As long as the players were willing to stay on the field and give him one more play, he was going to stay to help make that extra repetition better,” he wrote. Small also pointed out Judges was there for teammate Myron D’- Costa who suffered a severe neck in- jury in the 2001 LOSSA champi- onship game, suffering temporary paralysis. His leadership in the after- math of the serious injury was exem- plary. “True to our team motto ‘Twelve go up, twelve come back’ coach Judges took it upon himself as a team leader to make sure Myron was treat- ed with the greatest of care. Coach Judges spent countless nights at the hospital comforting Myron and the D’Costa family. The LOSSA trophy was placed next to Myron’s bed as a sign that the Monarchs would always be with him, in good times and in bad. He even arranged to take play- ers to see Myron every day to keep his spirits high,” he said. “Myron wasn’t a star player and was taking the place of an injured player on the punt return when the accident happened. Although Myron wasn’t a starter, coach still treated him with the same respect and digni- ty that he treated all his players, whether he was a superstar or not. Coach Judges not only cared about the team as players, but as people, which is crucial in gaining the re- spect and devotion of the team.” A lineman with the CFL’s Mon- treal Alouettes and Toronto Arg- onauts from 1968 to 1982, Judges played in six Grey Cup games, win- ning with the Alouettes in 1970, 1974 and 1977. He followed his son James onto the St. Mary football field, first serving as the line coach for three years, before becoming the volunteer head football coach. The winning coach receives $7,500 in football equipment for his school. Two runners-up each receive $2,500 in equipment. The winner is selected from a panel of NFL, CFL, Vanier Cup offi- cials and journalists from across Canada and is announced Monday, Nov. 18 in Toronto. Four-time LOSSA champions now prepare for tussle with Gators BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —Surviving a scare in the Durham finals, the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs senior football team is nonetheless “well-prepared” for its date in the Golden Horseshoe Bowl quarter-finals. The four-time Durham Region champions and top-seeded (7-0) Monarchs face number-four Lakeshore Catholic Gators, of Port Colborne, the Southern Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletic Association runners-up, in an East Regional quar- ter-final clash Friday, Nov. 15 at Os- hawa’s Civic Stadium at 2:30 p.m. Monarchs’ head coach Gordon Judges said he was pleasantly sur- prised to be the top seed in the east. He believed the Markham District Secondary School Marauders, after obliterating Newmarket in the York final, would get top billing over the Monarchs, who struggled to down the Dunbarton High School Spartans 21- 14 in the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) final in Oshawa last Saturday. “It surprised me a bit. I thought Markham would be the top seed, es- pecially since we only beat Dunbar- ton by a touchdown,” said Judges, a former CFLer. As for the Lakeshore Catholic Gators, Judges says he knows little about them. He does know, however, they’re coached by another former CFLer, ex-Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ Rocky DiPietro. He’s also aware they’re a squad that loves to run the football. “They’re a very skilled and quick team. They do run the ball more than they pass.” Judges added his charges need bet- ter execution on offence and better special teams play in order to ad- vance beyond the quarter-final. “We just have to execute our game plan on both sides of the ball as best as we can. We’re equipped to face anything. Then, it’s a matter of exe- cution and effort. We have to do a better job of our kicking game than we did last weekend against Dunbar- ton. Our kids are well-prepared, so I guess it comes down to may the best team on that day win.” The LOSSA final was expected to be another coronation for the high- flying Monarchs. It turned out to be anything but. In fact, a fired-up un- derdog Spartans squad gave St. Mary — which defeated Dunbarton 52-8 in their regular-season meeting in late September — all it could handle. But, despite keeping the high-oc- tane Monarchs’ offence in check and putting 14 points on the board — the most scored against St. Mary this season — the Spartans were victim- ized by a Monarchs’ desperation play that turned out to be the back-breaker for Dunbarton. With the game tied 14-14 in the final quarter and the Monarchs backed up to their own goal line, St. Mary quarterback Erik Glavic threw a third-down strike to wide receiver J.P. Lambert in a pass-and-run play that covered 45 yards. Two subse- quent Dunbarton penalties placed St. Mary in scoring range. Later in the series, with the ball on the five-yard line, Monarchs’ running back Joe Dublin barged in for the winning touchdown with just more than five minutes to play. Ben Voss was good on the convert. “If we had of stopped them in the red zone, we would be getting the gold today,” said Spartans’ coach Jim Bardgett. “We had them backed up quite a few times. We gave them a good run for their money. We certain- ly showed them we’re an up-and- coming team.” St. Mary opened a 1-0 lead early in the game after Ryan Mungal was credited with tackling Spartans’ punt returner Callan Exeter in the end zone. Later in the quarter, Glavic scrambled out of the pocket and hit receiver Aaron Racioppa with a 15- yard pass in the end zone. Voss’s con- vert put St. Mary in front 8-0. A long second-quarter offensive drive by the Spartans was capped with a one-yard plunge by running back Oliver Salmon, converted by Jesse Athwal. Later in the second quarter, Ryan Bardgett called his own number and took the ball five yards to the end zone. Athwal’s convert put Dunbar- ton up 14-8. With 1:22 remaining in the half, Racioppa put his team back on an even footing after catching a Glavic pass up the middle in a play that cov- ered 48 yards for the major. Voss’s convert attempt was blocked. The other regional quarter-final clash pits the second-ranked Markham Marauders from York Re- gion against number-three De La Salle (Conference of Independent Secondary School Association champs) from Toronto in Oshawa at 10:30 a.m. In the west side of the Golden Horseshoe regional bracket are Wa- terdown, Hamilton Cathedral, Lorne Park Secondary School (Mississauga) and Nelson (Burlington). Quarter-final winners advance to the Golden Horseshoe semifinals at Yo rk University Nov. 24. GORDON JUDGES Nominated for national coaching award.

Monarchs reign supreme Productive weekend hurts Panthers JOE DUBLIN Scores winning touchdown for Monarchs in football title win over Dunbarton Spartans. Club earns win, tie, but loses three players to injuries BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING — A winning weekend for the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers came at a price. In the midst of knocking off the rival Ajax Axemen 5-2 in OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action in Ajax Sunday after- noon, the Panthers received more bad news on the injury front. Defenceman Ken Brown left the game in the sec- ond period with a separated shoulder, leaving an already short-staffed de- fensive corps with only three blue- liners on the bench. Holding a slim 3-2 lead at the time, the Panthers scored two unan- swered markers in the third period for the victory, their first over the Axe- men this season. “The kids played with intensity and battled hard in the third period. They certainly deserve full marks for it,” noted Panthers’ head coach Jim Wilson.

Nolte nicks mixed curling ’spiel field Tigers ride Whyte knight to football championship Uxbridge clinches ‘B’ crown on 22-yard field goal DURHAM — A field goal late in the second-quarter pro- pelled the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers to the Durham Re- gion ‘B’senior football title over Oshawa’s Paul Dwyer Saints. As time ran out in the second quarter, Uxbridge’s James Whyte put a 22-yard attempt through the uprights to give the Tigers a 10-7 lead at Oshawa’s Civic Stadium last Saturday. Neither side was able to score in the second half, giving the Tigers the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) ‘B’title. Uxbridge opened the scoring in the first quarter on a Rob Halko touchdown. Whyte nailed the convert. Later in the quarter, Dwyer’s workhorse running back Lee Deboo scored a major with Alex Neto kicking the con- vert to knot the score, setting the table for Whyte’s winner. ••• Following the LOSSA ‘A’se- nior football game, convener Rick Townend handed out the hardware to outstanding players this season. St. Mary quarter- back Erik Glavic and Archbish- op Denis O’Connor Chargers’ pivot James Leckey were named league most valuable players. For Leckey, it was the second season in the row he’s received the award. Meanwhile, Glavic and Dunbarton’s Justin Wiltshire were recipients of the ‘A’ final MVP awards. ••• One could forgive the Dun- barton Spartans senior football team for thinking it was a little like Rodney Dangerfield, name- ly getting no respect. On the game program, the Spartans were referred to as the ‘Spar- tons’. ••• The LOSSA junior football championships are slated for Saturday afternoon at Oshawa’s Civic Stadium. The ‘A’ final pits the semifinal winner of the Pick- ering High School Trojans (8-0) and the Uxbridge Tigers (4-3-1) against the winner of the other semifinal game between the Eastdale Eagles (6-2) and the Paul Dwyer Saints (4-3-1). Semifinal games were played Tuesday at Pickering High and at Eastdale. Winners weren’t known at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. ‘B’ semifinal games are played today (Wednesday) with J. Clarke Richardson at Ander- son and Henry Street at Pine Ridge. Both games start at 1 p.m. The ‘B’ championship is at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, followed by the ‘A’final at 2:30 p.m. ERIK GLAVIC LOSSA MVP. Panthers hack down Axemen, tie Vipers “It was one of those week- ends where we deserved the points we got. We had excel- lent goaltending by Scott Gray and some of the younger boys on the team are starting to feel like they belong. They’re feel- ing more comfortable in their responsibilities.” First-year forward Andrew Dissanayake led the way with a two-goal effort, including the game winner at the halfway point of the second period. Corey Black, Andrew Jackson and Bryan Hampton also hit the scoresheet. Gray continued his strong play of late, making 23 saves. Gray’s solid play was need- ed in spades in the Panthers’5- 5 draw with the visiting Vaugh- an Vipers at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night. The second-year net- minder was deluged with a whopping 63 shots. In fact, the Panthers were outshot by a bet- ter than 2:1 ratio, with the Pickering juniors firing 29 shots at the Vipers’ Mike Malmholt. Vaughan led 2-1 after the first period, with the game knotted at 4-4 after two. The teams traded goals in the final frame, with the five-minute overtime solving nothing. Pickering got goals from James Gadon, Black, Jamie Wright, Casey Trudeau and Bryan Hampton, who netted the tying marker on the power play at the midway point of the third period. Tw o Panthers’ were injured during the contest with for- ward Patrick Miller suffering a broken finger and defenceman Shawn Coultice going out with a separated shoulder. Both will be lost to the club indefinitely. The team received some hopeful news on the injury front, however, as forwards Andrew Gilbert (broken leg) and Cory York (broken arm) are set to return to the lineup within a week’s time. Defence- man Michael Freeman (shoul- der) is also expected to be back in the lineup this week. Pickering (4-16-3-0 for 11 points) is tied for eighth spot in the league’s South Conference with the Thornhill Rattlers. The Panthers played in Collingwood against the Blues in a North-South Conference crossover contest Tuesday. The result wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s deadline. The Panthers host the Huntsville Wildcats at the recreation complex tonight (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. On Friday, the Wexford Raiders come to town to play the Pan- thers, also at 7:30 p.m. SCOTT GRAY Goalie faces lots of shots.

She’ll be thrown, grabbed, tossed around and do plenty of screaming, yet the voice on the other end of the line sounds faint, scratchy and in plenty of trouble. Reid-Clarke’s playing Joyce Pullen in the current Herongate Barn Dinner The- atre production, ‘Shut Your Eyes and Think of England’, and wasn’t planning to let voice troubles get in the way of the demanding role. “It’s a very physical role for me,” said the Bowmanville res- ident. “I’m hoisted in the sheik’s arms, thrown on a chair and a couch and I have a lot of screaming.” The British farce, written by John Chapman and Antho- ny Marriot, opened Nov. 8 with Toronto resident Chris Cole playing the lead role of Arthur, Joyce’s husband. “He’s always in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said director Ann Ward. “He arrives to find Sir Justin Holbrook in a compro- mising situation and things just carry on from there.” Having directed over 30 plays at Herongate, which she owns, Ward called the produc- tion very well written, adding it takes a different twist than many other farces. “I think they’re just going to be laughing and laughing it’s so funny,” Ward said of audi- ences. “The gags, characters and the situations they get themselves into.” The cast is made up of nine characters and rehearsals began in October. Ward noted the introduction into the play of Joyce Pullen sends the action off in a differ- ent direction. “She offers a new angle on things because the sheik falls in love with her and wants to take her back to his country.” Reid-Clarke agreed Arthur’s wife makes things in- teresting. “She’s a pretty mousy little woman, the housewife type, and hasn’t had a very exciting life. As Arthur Pullen’s wife, she’s content ... until she meets the sheik,” she said. She added the meeting of the two characters proves in- teresting. “She’s quite afraid, she has no intentions towards him at all, but by the end of the play she’s changed her mind about him,” said Reid-Clarke. Reid-Clarke has been acting for about 11 years, including roles with the Durham Shoe- string Performers and Oshawa Little Theatre groups in Os- hawa, and the recently launched Port Perry Players dinner theatre. Her start came when some friends encouraged her to audi- tion for a play in Whitby. “They said come along and have some fun and I did, I got the part and I’ve been hooked ever since,” she said with a laugh. The cast of ‘Shut Your Eyes and Think of England is round- ed out by Victoria Dwight, Paul Francies, Daryl Marks, and Margaret St. John, all of Pickering, Robert Calvert of Whitby, Walter Klemick, William Granger, stage man- ager Roberta Northey and as- sistant stage manager Michelle Tremblant. The play continues Thurs- days to Sundays until Dec. 21, with an additional show New Year’s Eve. Herongate is at 2885 Altona Rd., in Whitevale.

Today, the senior citizen and mem- ber of the Oshawa Central Lions Club is coming of the high of the recent big bash to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Jube, as it’s known, one of the few remaining dance pavilions in On- tario. The big band sounds of the Swing Street Band, a local group, kept dancers on their toes at the pavilion, located in Oshawa’s Lakeview Park. “I’m one of the old-timers who came down here and danced during the 40s,” Russell said. “My dancing started at the Jubilee Pavilion. I learned to dance down here in 1942. I was about 14 or 15 years old.” He kept dancing and, after moving to the United States, competed for 25 years in the swing category of ballroom dancing, even winning a Florida state championship. He still dances. Opened in 1927 and named to mark Canada’s 60th jubilee anniversary of Confederation, the Jube was one of a number of dance pavilions in Ontario. It’s one of the few still existing and still used for dances. Today, it’s leased and managed by the Central Lions Club. “It’s one of the oldest continually operating dance halls and dance pavil- ions in Ontario,” said Oshawa author Peter Young, who played in several Toronto-based rock bands in the 1960s and played the Jube numerous times. “I don’t know how many people in Os- hawa are aware of that.” The Jube is featured in his book, ‘Let’s Dance,’which looks at the dance pavilions of Ontario and their fates. “I used to play at the Jube,” he said. “The Jube was one of the places where bands played a lot. The Jube’s special because it’s a year-round place.” He became interested in finding out about what happened to these pavil- ions, did the research and decided to write his book. He discovered dance enthusiasts in the Oshawa area are lucky. “There aren’t too many of these places left,” he said. Many succumbed to fire, others were demolished and yet others were converted to other uses. The Jube, originally a wood-frame building, was renovated and the brick exterior added in the early 1980s. The exterior is changed from the original pavilion but the interior, with the 42- foot by 118-foot maple dance floor, re- mains much the same,Young said. Popular bands from the early Jube days include Ozzie Williams, Stan Williams and his Blue Marines, Boyd Valleau (one Lions club member played with the band), Jack Denton and Pat Riccio, who made his debut as a bandleader at the Jube in 1957. In the 1960s, Art Hallman and his band were regulars at the Jube and continued play- ing there through to 1991. In the 1960s, dance music was joined by the sounds of rock and roll at the Jube. Jube manager Owen McCro- han recognized the popularity of rock and alternated dance nights with rock nights,Young said. “The Jube was really successful for making the transition from the big band, swing era into the rock-and-roll era,” he said. Some of the groups that played the Jube include Lighthouse, Goddo, David Wilcox, Doug and The Slugs, Kim Mitchell and favourites Little Cae- sar and the Consuls. For a while, the music gave way to bingo but about five years ago, the Lions turned once again to music and dances. There are big band and swing dances, the music of the Lincolnaires playing “oldies rock” and even youth dances for the younger generation. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo The historic Jubilee Pavilion recently celebrated its 75th anniversary with a dance and plenty of memories. ‘Old-timer’ Charlie Russell, with Rita Russell, fondly recalled he learned to dance there. Rita Taylor continues DURHAM –– Durham Shoestring Per- formers its run of the home- grown comedy, ‘Rita Taylor.’ Written and directed by Whitby resident Ken Bond, the play tells the story of a woman who wakes with a skin condition on her hand and takes to wearing a hand puppet to hide it. It runs Nov. 13, 14, 15 and 16. Perfor- mances, set for 8 p.m. each night, take place at the Arts Re- source Centre, behind Oshawa City Hall on Centre Street. Tickets are $10 and are available at Wal- ters Music and the United Way Information Ser- vices, both at the Oshawa Centre. www.durhamregion.com BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Editor DURHAM ––Heather Wha- ley has quite a story to tell and she’s doing it full-time now. The Whitby resident has struck out on her own as a storyteller, re- leasing a CD and playing venues throughout Ontario and even the United States. Whaley, also a singer and song- writer, had, until this year, been telling her stories and singing her songs while working at Whitby Public Library, mostly in chil- dren’s programming. But as her gigs as a storyteller picked up and she found herself strapped for time to write new material, she de- cided it was time to concentrate on storytelling. “People don’t realize the scope of storytelling,” she said. “Stories are not just for children. It really relates to all ages. I just told to se- niors on Halloween. A lot of what I do is folk style but there is a mix that appeals to all ages.” Her double-album CD, ‘A Bit of This and That’ and ‘A Snap, Clap, Tap!’, has material for chil- dren and adults. Her career in storytelling actu- ally began after the birth of her children. A registered nursing as- sistant before the children arrived, she decided to stay at home with them. She took to volunteering in the school and worked with Kids on the Block, a volunteer puppet troupe that takes messages of tol- erance and safety to schools throughout Durham Region. “That was a great thing,” Wha- ley said. “I was in schools every week and developed public speak- ing skills.” She’d always written “little songs and stories” and found that talent came in handy. As Brownie leader, she was often called on to lead songs or singalongs. “I had never really thought of it as a career,” she said. Then she got a job at the library around 1989. While she started in the circulation department, her job evolved to include some programs for children. She put her creativity to work. “They seemed to like what I did,” she said of the children who came to the programs. So she did more and more and eventually came to work at the main branch, where she had the opportunity to do more programs and to receive specialized staff training. She realized she could in- clude her own materials in the pro- grams. She was soon asked to take her programs into local schools. “The opportunity to expand on my talent and creativity in that kind of environment is amazing,” Whaley said. “It’s exciting be- cause I’d discovered that all I love to do, I could apply to the pro- grams.” She got into storytelling, with its mix of stories, poems and songs and joined the Writers’ Cir- cle of Durham Region, even putting on workshops, such as Write to Sing, for children. She joined the Durham Folklore Soci- ety, discovered her Scottish roots and added that tradition to her cre- ative repertoire. She also joined the Storytellers Club of Toronto. Earlier this year, she left the li- brary, grateful for the support and experience it provided her for over 13 years. She does children’s programs, separating them for ages three to six, seven to nine and 10 and up, with folktales, legends, fairytales and personal tales mixed with music and set off by props. She has theme programs, too, and tries to blend multiculturalism and hu- manitarianism into her shows. Her adult programs include traditional, personal and contemporary blends of story and song and has per- formed in cafes, pubs, festivals, theatres and concert venues. She’s performed throughout Ontario and even in the States, through the South Coast Story- tellers Guild. “Hopefully I’ll be able to bring a little Canadian content to them. They really don’t know a lot about Canada,” Whaley said. Her CD will be for sale at Wil- low Book Store in Port Perry. She’ll be there to sign her CDs on Dec. 14. She’ll be appearing at Park- wood Estate in Oshawa Dec. 17 for a family Christmas and Har- bourfront in Toronto in February for the Storytellers Club’s Listen Up! Festival.

As the agent for Management Board Secretariat, the ORC is responsible for the property. The Whitevale Dam spans the West Duffins Creek on land owned by the Province of Ontario in what is known as the North Pickering Land Assembly. Following watershed studies undertaken in the past year, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the City of Pickering have raised concerns about the condition of the dam. A study suggests that immediate repairs are required. The ORC wants to proceed with this work as soon as practical, while having regard for the natural, recreational and cultural heritage aspects of this particular area. With this in mind, the ORC is hosting a Public Information Meeting to outline the work being carried out, in the short and longer term, which will have the least amount of impact on the natural environment, nearby residents and regular users of the area. The Public Information Meeting will be held Thursday, November 14, 2002, at the DEL Management Solutions office, 310 Highway 7, in Green River, from 7 - 9 p.m. The Green River office is located on the north side of Hwy 7 approximately 1 kilometer east of York Durham Line.
