Pet bylaw needs more teeth: City Recent biting raises calls to investigate new local legislation BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Local councillors say the City’s dog and cat bylaw needs more teeth. In the wake of a recent dog biting, Pickering council wants the Pickering Ajax Whitby (PAW) An- imal Services Centre to muzzle and leash every dog in the city that bites a person, until its owner can prove they have effective control of the animal. Also, all dog bites must be reported to the City, which may appeal to the courts to have the dog de- stroyed through the Dog Owner’s Liability Act if it is deemed in the best interest and safety of the com- munity. It’s a big departure from Pickering’s original bylaw, passed in 2000, which gave PAW’s animal control supervisor the power to decide if a dog should be muzzled, leashed or both. Pickering, Ajax and Whitby fund PAW. “We thought we could trust PAW’s discretion but we see now, we can’t,” said Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner, who brought the motion for- ward Nov. 4. He was contacted by a frustrated Cindy Mason, who said her son, Shawn, was bitten in the back of the leg by a neighbourhood dog Oct. 10. She claims the dog has bitten people on three different occa- sions and appealed to PAW for help. “They said they couldn’t do anything other than keep the dog until the owner came to get it,” Ms. Mason said. She was told by PAW she could appeal to a provincial court under the Dog Owner’s Liability Act to have the dog destroyed and was offered the use of the City’s court prosecuting agent Rhonda Bishop. But the justice of the peace refused to hear her case on the basis Pickering council should be deal- ing with the matter through its bylaw. The dog has since been ordered muzzled with the help of Coun. Brenner and Ward 2 City Councillor Santa’s here on Saturday PICKERING —Don’t forget Santa is coming to town this weekend. The 35th annual Kinsmen- Kinette Santa Claus Parade is Sat- urday, Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. Organized annually by the Kinsmen-Kinette Club of Picker- ing, 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 Picker- ing Town Centre. After the parade, Santa takes his seat at the Pickering Town Centre, where he’ll hear chil- dren’s requests up until the holi- day.

The robber fled on foot. A po- lice dog tracked the suspect’s scent to Old Forest Road, where the trail went cold. It’s believed the culprit got into a car. The suspect was described as male, black, 25 to 30, 5-foot-9, wearing brown pants and a black leather jacket.

A voice believed to be Osama bin Laden specifically mentioned Canada and other allies in the U.S.-led fight against terrorism, raising fears of attacks here at home. Ontario Power Generation spokesman John Earl said the company “always holds security as a high priority at all of our assets. We have a number of special opportunities with local security agencies. “This is truly a national security issue. Yes, we’ve heightened security and we continue to work with (security) agencies. We have talked about having heightened security, but we haven’t talked about specifics. We’re working with all (governmental) levels.” Security at all nuclear facilities in Canada was increased following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States and it has remained high ever since, he noted. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Com- mission stopped all public tours of nu- clear facilities following Sept. 11 and ordered heightened security measures. Shortly after the attacks, OPG and the Durham Regional Police signed an agreement to have armed officers sta- tioned at the Pickering and Darlington plants.

But the most embarrassing thing of all for Pickering, said Coun. Bren- ner, is that a justice of the peace has pointed out the City’s bylaw is too weak to protect bite victims. “I admit as a councillor I didn’t do all I could have done to be on top of this bylaw before this,” he said. Changes in Pickering’s bylaw will be forwarded to the PAW committee for discussion at its meeting Dec. 11 and a report of its comments will come back to City council with the bylaw for final approval, said Coun. McLean. The only member of council to vote against the changes, Coun. McLean said while its intentions are good, he questions if the plan is workable. A muzzle order for each dog that bites doesn’t take into account ca- nines, which attack to protect their property, or even police dogs in the line of duty, he said. “Each circumstance should dic- tate the outcome and that’s the trust we put in the supervisor,” he said. Coun. McLean also said the ani- mal control service is limited to en- forcing municipal bylaws and can’t pursue an action under the Dog Owner’s Liability Act, a provincial statute, he explained. “I do like the fact the City’s clerk’s department will be notified of every dog biting,” Coun. McLean said. “It is a traumatic experience for anyone to be bit by a dog, whether you are a child or an adult.” Hypothermia cited in death AJAX ––A 19-year-old cyclist found lying in an Ajax field with no vital signs ap- pears likely to have died from hypothermia, Durham Regional Police say. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor. Jonathan Doward, of Hendley Drive, Ajax, was found by a passerby north- east of Chapman Drive and Kingston Road about 7 a.m. Wednesday. He was rushed with no vital signs to the Rouge Val- ley Ajax-Pickering hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. A post-mortem per- formed Thursday found no significant injuries that would have caused his death, said Staff Sergeant John Wright of 19 Division. He was likely lying there up to six hours, said Staff Sgt. Wright.

The Pickering High School pupils are starting what they hope becomes a yearly tradition. Santa’s Walk for Sick Kids is a walk-a-thon on the Ajax school’s track Saturday, Nov. 30 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The event takes place rain or shine, and if there’s enough snow, participants are invited to bring sleds or cross-country skis to circle the track. “We hope it’s a success; we really want it to be big,” co-orga- nizer Nicole Price said. “Our goal is for a lot of people to come out.” She said she and her friends Jen Adams, Leigh-Ann Bell, Sara Bell, Erika Pahl and Tara Streeter, all OAC students, de- cided a couple of months ago to do “something cool and good for Christmas”. Initially, the young women decided they would walk the track for an hour and collect pledges to make a donation to a worthy cause, but the idea “just kind of snowballed into this big thing the whole community could get involved in.” The Hos- pital for Sick Children came to mind as a recipient since chil- dren from all over the world come there for medical help. Ms. Price said the youths hope to hold the child- and fami- ly-oriented event every year, per- haps donating the money to other charities and organizations as they see fit. Santa Claus will be a special guest at the event, and participants can pay $2 to have their child’s picture taken with St. Nick. Everyone who has a photo taken receives a ticket for raffle prizes. Others can buy raf- fle tickets at $2 for one and three for $5, and several local restau- rants have donated gift certifi- cates as prizes. There’s also free hot choco- late and light snacks for every- one and, while supplies last, coupons for free treats at local eateries. To get involved, just show up at the track on walk day with your donation. Participants can walk as long as they like, or, for those who want to garner pledges, can commit to an hour- long walk. Those who make donations of $10 or more receive a tax receipt. For more information, call Ms. Price at 905-427-6865. A.J.

It’s official: Burch succeeds Yeo as public board director BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —An Oshawa resi- dent who was born and schooled in the city and has lived there for most of his 53 years was named the public school board’s incoming director of education Tuesday night. Craig Burch, the Durham Dis- trict School Board’s operations su- perintendent, was officially named Grant Yeo’s successor at a special board meeting in Whitby. “I’m honoured,” he told trustees. “I’m humbled that you have chosen me to lead this great organization.” Mr. Burch said he was proud of the Durham board, its staff and the partnerships it has established. “Most of all, it’s all about our kids,” he said, adding he looks for- ward to leading all students, in- cluding special-education pupils, to success. Mr. Burch was one of six candi- dates, including three internal ap- plicants, who applied for Mr. Yeo’s job after the board’s top bureaucrat in August announced his retire- ment. Mr. Burch takes over Feb. 1. Asked in an interview what em- ployees, students and parents can expect in terms of his leadership style, Mr. Burch said “the Harvard business school talks about the new leader. “I’m the quiet leader; I’m the coach,” he said. Mr. Burch attended Coronation Public School and R.S. McLaugh- lin Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute (CVI). He returned to his old high school in 1973 to begin his teaching career. Following stints at G.L. Roberts CVI, General Vanier Secondary School and Anderson CVI, Mr. Burch became adminis- trative officer to the director of ed- ucation in 1990. The following year he was appointed principal of Pickering High School. In 1995 he became the superintendent of edu- cation in charge of employee rela- tions, a post he held until the start of this school year, when he was appointed operations superinten- dent. Mr. Burch said he would be starting from scratch in terms of assuming the reins. “I guess I want to do an entry process and talk to a lot of our partners as if I was knew to the system,” he said, referring to the Durham Catholic District School Board and Durham Regional Po- lice as key board partners. Mr. Burch said the first thing on his mind “is certainly to improve the education of our kids”. Trustees congratulated Mr. Burch and were pleased they were able to promote from within the system. Pickering Trustee Paul Craw- ford noted “the quality of the can- didates was outstanding,” and that the board would have been proud to bring one or two of the external applicants into the Durham system in other roles. “Superintendent Burch, you came up against some good people and you should be very proud,” he said. “It was a good exercise,” said Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers. “The calibre of the candidates was very high, both internal and exter- nal. And I’m very pleased that as a learning organization we have a leader from within our superinten- dents.” Craig Burch (right) was welcomed Tuesday as the incoming di- rector of education for the Durham District School Board. He suc- ceeds Grant Yeo (left), who served in the role since 1996. On Nov. 11, 1997, I attended the funeral of Morley Delbert Ward. He was my father’s uncle. Remem- brance Day seemed like a fitting oc- casion for the funeral, as Morley Wa rd was a veteran of the Second Wo rld War. I didn’t know Morley too well as I had very few chances to meet him. It was only a few years be- fore his death that I learned of his service in the Canadian Army. Morley Ward saw action in Eu- rope and participated in the liberation of Holland, an accomplishment of which he was especially proud. Half a century after the war, he was forced to fight another battle — cancer. De- spite the fact his health had deterio- rated from the effects of the disease, he still managed to attend the 50th anniversary of Holland’s liberation. The people of Holland hadn’t for- gotten any of the old warriors from Canada. Dutch children are still taught what Canadian soldiers did in winning the country’s freedom. Dur- ing the parades, many of the children ran out to shake hands with the veter- ans and thanked them for their efforts of 50 years before. One of the reasons I attended Morley’s funeral was to express grat- itude on behalf of a little girl who suffered through the occupation of Holland. That little girl was my future mother-in-law. The Gestapo took possession of her and tossed the 19 members of her family into the street, forcing them to seek refuge in a cur- tained-off section of a schoolhouse. Hunger and fear are the words my mother-in-law used to describe those days of dark uncertainty. And then the Canadians came. She fondly remembers the chocolate bars Canadians soldiers handed out to people in the streets. Eating choco- late after years of malnutrition made many of them sick; but nevertheless, its sweet taste represented freedom at long last. As I stood with the other mourn- ers in that cemetery on Remem- brance Day in 1997, I couldn’t help but wonder if it had been my father’s uncle who handed my mother-in-law that chocolate bar in 1945, perhaps sewing a connection between our families for the first time. My wife, my children, my moth- er-in-law, all these people I’m grate- ful to have in my life. And that is why I went to the funeral of a man I bare- ly knew. Thank you Morley Delbert Wa rd. You had every right to be proud. Great uncle had every right to be proud Dennis Keefer Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Experiences of war woven through family P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 15, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Is this what the future holds? To the editor: Just recently I have developed an in- creasingly pessimistic view of the direc- tion Canada is taking towards social aid. I am currently in Grade 12, and in class we find ourselves frequently debating issues such as welfare, social aid for Natives, and the idea of social programs in general. Unfortunately, I find the class is made up of a majority of right-wing minded stu- dents, who care little for social programs, but ultimately fear they may have to face higher taxes to help out those who are in need. This scenario scares me because I know the future of our country lies in this Grade 12 class, and if they are willing to risk lives in order to decrease taxes, I am afraid our country will soon become a heartless, capitalist society which cares lit- tle about its own citizens, but greatly about its dollar.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com No one wants to see 350 people out of work — be it a tempo- rary situation or a permanent one. The impact on the local economy is felt not only by the indi- viduals through the loss of wages, but also through indirect av- enues such as the loss of that income in the community. That’s exactly the situation Pickering is facing with the immi- nent demolition of the Metro East Trade Centre, which houses the immensely popular Pickering Markets. The markets have been a mainstay in Pickering for as long as many can remember. It offers an all-sensory experience with the smells, the sounds, the tastes and the bartering for the perfect deal — no matter how big or small. It’s arguably one of the most rec- ognizable landmarks in the city, drawing customers and vendors from across Durham Region, the Greater Toronto Area and well beyond. The vendors and the owner of the property, First Pro Shopping Centre, find themselves in a standoff on the timeline for demolition and beginning of construction on new big box stores. The vendors want an additional six months to bridge the gap between leaving their current home at the end of January and the building of a new location at Squires Beach Road and Bayly Street. Ye t, it’s hard to disagree with the First Pro argument that the vendors have had ample notice of the plans, and its contention it has construction commitments to new tenants that must be met for next fall. In fact, examine the plan further and you’ll see the new setup will bring in $2.3 million in taxes annually to Pickering (from the current $280,000) and create 1,200 jobs. Certainly a rosy econom- ic picture for a municipality that is struggling, like so many others, with generating revenue. But that still leaves an important unanswered question. The real issue now is ensuring as seamless a transition as possible between the time the vendors leave their current home for the new location. Durham councillors threw a wrinkle into the issue Wednesday when they decided to delay approval of the bylaw to rezone the Metro East property and make way for the new construction. While the move buys time until at least January, and possibly months longer, there is still the possibility First Pro could get approval to move ahead with its current schedule, starting in February. Staff and councillors at both the City and regional levels, along with First Pro officials, must seize this opportunity to work again with vendors to develop a viable alternative solution or location.

Whitby psychiatrist Dr. Khalid Sohail is presenting a full-day semi- nar designed for therapists, social workers, mental health workers, counsellors, psychologists, doctors, and nurses on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Durham College, 2000 Simcoe St. N., Os- hawa. Members of the public are also welcome. According to Dr. Sohail, we live in a variety of family, work, social and community systems. In each system we operate in either a positive enjoy- able green zone where relationships are open and clear, an anxious and stressful yellow zone where relation- ships are strained, or an angry, dis- tressed, possibly out of control red zone where relationships are hostile and falling apart. Based on his new book, ‘The Art of Living in Your Green Zone,’ Dr. Sohail’s techniques and tools can help people recognize which zone they are operating in, understand what events, people, situations and behaviours lead to each zone, as well as take action to increase their Green Zone and reduce the yellow and the red. He says the benefits of his new therapy can include reduced stress, improved relationships, and an in- creased life enjoyment.

Ajax council approved the request Tuesday, supporitng the recommendation of its community affairs and plan- ning committee to approve the 77-acre cemetery on the east side of Westney Road, between Taunton Road and Fielding Court. The only sticking point raised during the committee meeting last week was a re- quest by Mike Everard, a planning consultant for the applicant, for the Town to re- duce the amount the archdio- cese must contribute for park- land. With each development proposal, an applicant has to set aside five per cent of the land for parkland and open space, or make a ‘cash-in- lieu’ payment. A cash pay- ment is usually made when a project is small or a park isn’t appropriate, as in this case. To wn planner Ron Warne estimated a cash donation with this proposal could be about $100,000. Mr. Everard said the Catholic Cemeteries Arch- diocese of Toronto is a regis- tered non-profit charity. “We’re providing an essential service to the Catholic com- munity. We are very con- scious of our dollars. Be- tween now and the site plan, we’ll work with the Town.” He suggested the cash-in- lieu be based on the net acreage as opposed to the gross acreage. “Perhaps it could be waived,”he said. “We’d like you to favourably consider our request.” While considering the ap- plication, Mr. Warne noted most of trees on the property were to be removed. “The Town and the Toron- to and Region Conservation authority had a great deal of concern about removing some of the vegetation,” he said. The loss of vegetation would “affect wildlife, which uses this as a corridor”, he added. A compromise was worked out where a strip at least 500-feet wide would be kept along the northern por- tion of the property, he noted.

DIGITAL CAMERA PRINTS Fax it The News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Ajax gives green light to Catholic cemetery proposal “Now the consumer will only pay 4.3 cents and the Province will pay the rest from the profits of Ontario Power Generation (OPG),” he says. Although OPG was privatized as part of the change in electricity delivery, the Province is still the major shareholder, says Mr. O’Toole. Now that the question of cost to the consumer is resolved, the issue still rais- ing concern from critics, including the energy watchdog organization Ener- gyProbe, is the availability of supply. One worry is that freezing rates will dis- courage investment by the private sector in new electricity generation plants. That investment is needed to ensure On- tario has a stable supply of electricity. Currently the Province imports about 15 per cent of its electricity during peak pe- riods, says Mr. Gretzner, who notes On- tario’s availability of electricity is the same as it was prior to the May market opening. However, he adds, the delay of the restart at the Pickering A reactors has had a negative effect on domestic supply. Mr. O’Toole says market price will still be paid to generators, the only dif- ference will be the amount showing up on consumers’bills because the govern- ment will be paying the difference. Also, in a further announcement Tuesday, the government announced tax strategies to encourage private sector in- vestment including rapid depreciation allowances on capital investments. A third announcement is expected later this week regarding the governance of OPG, Mr. O’Toole said. “We are doing whatever it takes to protect the consumer,” says Mr. O’- Toole. “At the same time we must plan for a future with clean, sustainable power in support of the Kyoto targets.” A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 15, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies.

Come See Us Now. IT’S BOOT SEASON Durham residents, businesses welcome hydro rate freeze BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Durham resi- dents and businesses are rejoic- ing at news of a retroactive freeze in hydro rates after the Province backed down on a plan to stop subsidizing electricity costs. “Our hydro bill was $3,500 for 60 days on our last bill,” says Kathy Anyan, co-owner of Kings Court Catering and Einstein Restaurant in Bowmanville. “That’s $700 to $800 more” than the company would have paid during the same period last year, she says. A rebate program and rate freeze for the next four years is very welcome, says Mrs. Anyan. “It means I can pay other bills. It’s not a big deal now with Christmas but in January and February when it’s not really busy, it becomes a concern.” Since 1994 Ontarians enjoyed a freeze in hydro rates until the market opening May 1. Con- sumers were then charged the real commodity price for the first time in more than eight years. But with businesses and resi- dents across Ontario balking at hydro bills that jumped signifi- cantly in the past few months, Premier Ernie Eves backtracked on the plan earlier this week, an- nouncing the government would freeze rates at 4.3 cents per kilo- watt/hour, approximately the rate consumers were paying prior to market opening. Since market opening, rates have fluctuated from under four cents per kilowatt/hour to more than eight cents with an average of 5.1 cents from May to the end of October. The biggest concerns have come when consumers re- ceived bills for the August and September periods when rates were ranging between six and eight cents, says Ted Gretzner, spokesman for the Independent Market Operator (IMO). The commodity price for electricity makes up roughly half the elec- tricity bill, with other services in- cluding delivery and a service charge to pay off the former On- tario Hydro’s stranded debt com- prising the remaining amount paid by the end user. Local MPPs say they too were hearing from constituents whose livelihood and quality of life was threatened by the in- crease in rates. “The freeze on the rates was very, very important to me. I have a responsibility to my con- stituents and the calls I got were dealing primarily with people on fixed incomes,” says Durham MPP John O’Toole. The MPP sits on the cabinet committee for energy and environment.

The second in a series focusing on the degree programs being offered at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Sept. 2003. Canada’s newest university, the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology, plans to offer Durham Region’s first education degree and Ontario’s only lap- top-based education program. The one-year Bachelor of Ed- ucation program will be avail- able to students who have com- pleted an undergraduate science degree, pending approval by the Ontario College of Teachers. The program will focus on teaching science, mathematics and computer science from Grades 7 to 12. It’s one of few education programs specializing in science and mathematics in Canada. “We’re facing a major short- age of teachers in Ontario - par- ticularly in Durham Region,” notes Dr. Bill Hunter, dean of the School of Education at the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Te chnology. “The university’s new education program focuses on science, mathematics and computer science because of the demand for teachers with exper- tise in these areas.” According to the Ontario Col- lege of Teachers, an estimated 4,800 teachers of grades 7 to 12 will be needed by 2010 to re- place retiring teachers. Sec- ondary schools alone will need to replace more than 650 math teachers and nearly 500 science teachers over the next eight years. “Generally school systems prefer to hire teachers from the community’s local university,” says Dr. Hunter. “Offering a high-quality education program to students enables the university to help meet the need for teach- ers in Durham Region.” The education program will primarily use case-based learn- ing to teach students to apply communication, critical-think- ing, problem-solving and leader- ship skills in the classroom. Students will learn to use pre- sentation and multimedia soft- ware, and develop Web sites for use in their own classroom. In addition, students will learn the latest teaching meth- ods, such as advanced instruc- tional design, to help them ac- quire the skills to teach in indus- tries outside the classroom. The University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology’s educa- tion program will be the first in Canada to offer a course in un- derstanding and applying educa- tional research. “Traditionally teachers haven’t been able to apply re- search in their practice,” says Dr. Hunter. “Graduates of our pro- gram will be able to use research to help solve problems in the classroom.” Research will also be a strong focus of the School of Education at the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology. Research will focus primarily on improv- ing educational technology such as online learning. The university is developing a concurrent education degree pro- gram with further emphasis on technology, as well as other sub- ject areas. “We will be continu- ously reviewing the needs in the community and responding to those needs,” adds Hunter. At Ontario’s first laptop- based university, each student will use a current model of the IBM ThinkPad and benefit from fully networked classrooms and learning spaces. “We offer the first education degree [in Ontario] where stu- dents will use laptop computers in all of their classes from the beginning of the program,” says Dr. Hunter. Applying for education Students interested in the education degree program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology will require an un- dergraduate science degree, as well as a personal profile ad- dressing skills and related work experience, and letters of refer- ence. Graduates of this pro- gram are recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for certification as practitioners in the Ontario education system. For more information about the Bachelor of Education pro- gram, visit www.uoit.ca or call 1.866.844.8648. University of Ontario Institute of Technology offers Durham Region’s first education degree William J. Hunter, Dean School of Education From 1986 to 2002, Professor William J.

Zion baking up one big sale Pickering chef serves up millionaire’s surprise Resident keeps big lottery win a temporary secret PICKERING —A 45-year- old Pickering man and his four co-workers are sharing a $12.5 million windfall from the week- end’s Lotto Super 7 draw. Jean Luc Touchard, an execu- tive chef at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, managed to keep the win secret from his staff until the end of the day Monday. “I didn’t want them to quit over the weekend,” said the Pick- ering resident. “First of all, I wanted them all to be together when I told them. But I also knew I had to have enough staff to run the kitchen properly.” His group has only been play- ing together for two months, but it managed to pick the only win- ning ticket in the Nov. 8 draw. When Mr. Touchard called a staff meeting after work Monday, they all admitted they were ner- vous, worrying something was wrong. But that’s when he shared the good news that each of them would be getting a $2.5 million share of the jackpot. “I’m going to make sure my son is secure for the rest of his life,” said Mr. Touchard. “I’m going to pay off all my bills and help my wife’s family back in the Philippines, as well as my own family.” Mr. Touchard purchased the ticket at Union Station Lotto Cen- tre, even missing his train to get the numbers.

Now in its fourth year, the Festival of Trees has become a much-anticipated annual event that welcomes the holiday season to Durham. It’s a time of year when we are reminded of everything that matters most in life. Our family. Dear friends. And the gift of good health for all. That the Festival of Trees is in support of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering makes perfect sense. This year, behind the glittering trees and spectacular events is also the knowledge that support for the event means the Hospital’s wish list will be answered. “The community really gets behind this event which is a celebration of all that is wonderful in our lives, and our community,” says Gale Mossman, chair of the Festival of Trees. “There is something for absolutely everyone.” Proceeds from the Festival Fashion Show, a must-see event chaired by Foundation volunteer Elizabeth Soler, will purchase several items for the medical wing. Portable pain pumps that allow patients to manage their own pain levels promote quicker and easier recovery times. Broda chairs are large comfortable chairs that offer a suitable alternative to bed, allowing patients a greater sense of mobility and freedom. And a new piece of equipment that measures a patient’s blood pressure and blood oxygen levels will be used extensively. “It is wonderful to know an event that people love attending is also so valuable to the hospital,” says Soler. “We enjoy producing the Festival Fashion Show as a way of giving to the community, and it’s so rewarding to know that vital equipment will be purchased thanks to everyone attending.” Other event proceeds will ensure the surgical department gets a special gift under their tree this year - a magnetic hand retractor, which sounds a bit like a hot, new toy with morphing capabilities, but this device is actually used during delicate microsurgery of the hand. The wish list goes on as the Hospital needs continue. Everyone is invited to attend the Festival of Trees. General admission tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. For a complete list of the special events, please go to the event schedule on page 2.

We believe it is important for all companies to give back to theircommunity as a gesture of good faith and responsible corporate citizenship. That is why we have chosen to partner with Rouge Valley Health System in presenting the Festival of Trees event for the second consecutive year. We have come to fully appreciate the countless volunteer hours that go into making this event a huge success and source of civic pride. We think it best exemplifies all that is great here in Durham - our strong sense of family, community and celebration. Aside from this, quite frankly we have a terrific time and look forward to attending the many events. We couldn’t be happier teaming up with the hospital to present this year’s Festival of Trees.

ALTONA/TWYN RIVERS Pickering elementary students can modify their schedules Altona Forest P.S. still accepting those interested in modified school calendar PICKERING — Altona For- est Public School is still accept- ing registrations for Pickering el- ementary students who wish to attend classes on a modified school year calendar. Tr udy Deacon, principal at the Pickering school, said Saturday’s registration day was very suc- cessful. “It went very well,” she said in an interview. “We have more than 60 fami- lies who have registered.” Ms. Deacon noted the sign up is not limited to Altona Forest students, but open to any student who attends a Pickering elemen- tary school. “Many parents from other schools are just finding out about it now,” she said, noting this week registration would continue until the end of the month. The school hopes to offer both a modified calendar and a regular school year program starting next fall for junior kindergarten (kids born in 1999) to Grade 8 stu- dents. The school community has set a general target of about 170 stu- dents in various grades required to offer a viable modified pro- gram. Ms. Deacon said by the next school council meeting, currently slated for Nov. 26, “we should know what direction we’ll take from our numbers.” In a modified year, holidays are more evenly spread out throughout the year so there are smaller gaps between time off and time spent in school. In a sample modified school calendar, school would start in early August and students would have a two-week holiday in mid- October. After sharing Christmas holi- days with students on the regular school calendar, modified calen- dar students would then have a two-week March break and an- other week off in May. Summer holidays would last five weeks. Pickering parents who wish to register their children can call the school at 905-839-9900, or visit the school, at 405 Woodsmere Cres., weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. For more information on the modified calendar proposal, call the school and speak with Ms. Deacon, office administrator Lee Kimball, or school community council co-chairman Barbara Russell.

The Town is hiring a consultant to prepare a ‘secondary’plan for an area dubbed ‘A9’. The area is the last unplanned sec- tion within the Town’s urban bound- ary, the portion where urban-style de- velopment can occur. To wn planner Gary Muller told Ajax council’s general government committee last Thursday a secondary plan outlines detailed land uses, transportation systems, servicing and phasing for development. The plan will be used to judge subdivision plans for the area. A9 is roughly bounded by the bor- der with Pickering to the west, Taunton Road to the north, Duffins Creek, the Ontario Hydro corridor and Rossland Road. The area is pri- marily vacant or farmed land, with some rural and estate residential. About 1,500 homes could be built in the area. One of the bigger landowners is Cougs Development, which owns or has an interest in about 57 hectares (140 acres) south of the hydro corri- dor and on both sides of Church Street. Mr. Muller said Cougs has agreed to pay for the necessary studies on the west side of Duffins Creek. A development company called the Taunton/Ravenscroft Group owns land between the hydro corridor and Ta unton Road, east of Ravenscroft Road. Mr. Muller said the company is pre- pared to take part in the studies. “There will be no cost to the Town for the consultant studies,” Mr. Muller noted in his written report. What the cost will be would be de- termined through a ‘request for pro- posals’ process, he added. “The Town will select the consul- tant, prepare the terms of reference and retain the consultants,” Mr. Muller told the committee. “A f air amount of environmental work” has already been done, he wrote, so a peer review would be done to examine the results. Mr. Muller said “early and fre- quent public participation and in- volvement” would drive the plan. “Public input into this process is essential,” Mr. Muller wrote. “Staff expect the entire process to occur over a 15- to 18-month period. Devel- opment applications for the area would presumably follow the process.” The timetable for the work has a consultant hired by February 2003, with the first open house shortly after.

Canada’s western- most province offers scenic vistas, wonderful hospitality and adventures to suit every taste. Consider these tips for your next holiday: Spa Trail on Vancouver Island Tr ek along Vancouver Is- land’s new spa trail, where mystical rainforests meet the sea. Four of Vancouver Island’s destination spas are linked by a ribbon of roadway that skirts the sea and crests the moun- tains of Vancouver Island. Ex- perience traditional spa treat- ments with a unique west coast touch — warm sea stone mas- sages, body wraps in clay from a glacial lake — all enhanced by the calming sight of whales, sea lions and eagles in flight. The trail begins in Victoria at The Fairmont Empress Hotel’s Willow Stream Spa. It winds north to The Aerie Resort and Spa, a Mediterranean villa set high on the Malahat Mountain and overlooking Finlayson Arm. Continue in this direc- tion to the Kingfisher Resort and Spa in Courtenay, where you can have your massage on the beach looking out towards the ocean. Finally, complete your jour- ney by turning west, to the An- cient Cedars Spa at the Wick- ininnish Inn near Tofino. Fall into the sunshine coast Here comes the rain again, bringing back the vibrant green glow to B.C.’s sunshine coast. So pull on your slickers and head out for some bird watch- ing along the lagoon at Ruby Lake Resort, an eco-resort, bird sanctuary and authentic Italian restaurant. Ruby Lake is the perfect launching pad for exploring the coast peninsula. Visitors can hike in the old growth forest, cycle along the Sun Coaster Trail, or explore the coastline by boat or kayak. Perfect storm cruise If you think storm watching from shore is exciting, try it from a boat. Feel the power of the mighty Pacific and appreciate the safety of the harbour in a short 1.5 hour cruise on the Dixie IV (a former Coast Guard rescue boat).This scenic harbour tour takes you past the fish boat docks to the mouth of Ucluelet harbour on Vancouver Island for a taste of the ‘rough stuff’ — for a few minutes — before returning to the har- bour. Eagle, sea lion and seal sightings are quite common. North American Native Arts and Crafts Festival This year’s North American Native Arts and Crafts Festival offers a varied cultural experi- ence. Swing by the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre, located at 1607 East Hastings St., Dec. 14 and 15 to visit over 40 booths featuring beau- tiful northwest coast artwork such as gold and silver carved rings, bracelets, pendants, cedar wood carvings, prints, and Cowichan Indian Sweaters.

Canadians love their home and native land When it comes to tourism, Canadians can’t seem to get enough of their home and na- tive land. According to the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Canadi- an tourism facts and figures 2000 report, Canadians ac- counted for 70 per cent of the $54.1 billion spent on tourism in Canada in 2000. This shows more Canadians are vacationing at home and are spending a lot of money doing it. — News Canada www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 15, 2002 PAGE 27 A/P B w ing CELEBRITY LANES 5 & 10 PIN BOWLING BILLIARDS & ARCADE Register Now for Adult and Youth Bowling Leagues WE SPECIALIZE IN BIRTHDAY PARTIES OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK Bring in this coupon Celebrity Lanes 905-831-2920 963 Brock Road South, Pickering Expires Dec 30/02SAVE $3.00SAVE $3.00 On Bowling Only.

Daniels’ happy as an ape, thanks to Harry Grape BY MATT RISKO Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — A group of Durham youths are showing off their cultural her- itage this weekend. The Durham Tamil Association hosts the Durham Tamil Youth Festival 2002 Satur- day, Nov. 16 at Pine Ridge High School, 2155 Liverpool Rd. N., at 6 p.m. “This type of festival is to make people aware of our cultural history,” said Mut- tukumaru Chandrakumaran, vice-president of the Durham Tamil Association. “But at the same time it entertains the community.” The event features youth 10 to 19 years old from across Durham performing cultur- al music, dances and a Shakespearean drama. The 40 to 50 participants have been rehearsing in basements and school hall- ways for more than a month. Sixteen-year old Arun Sellathurai, presi- dent of the Durham Youth Tamils, is taking time from his school and work schedule to orchestrate the event. “It’s tough for us to all get together be- cause of work and school, but we manage,” he said, noting the youth Tamils are hoping the festival is a success and turns into an an- nual event. The Durham Tamil Association has been involved in the community for years, and with the addition of the youth group, is ful- filling its goal of helping to turn today’s youth into the role models and leaders of tomorrow. There is no cost for the festival. BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer AJAX —Nicholas Daniels never dreamt a class assignment would help launch his literary career. “I never intended it to be published,” the Ajax resident said of ‘Harry Grape, the Happy Ape’, his first children’s book. ‘Harry Grape’tells the tale of a young boy named Jonathan who happens upon the ape and several other characters in his quest to find a quarter to use a pay phone to tell his mother he will be late for supper. Daniels wrote the story for a Writers Craft English night course at the Adult Learning Centre in Oshawa shortly after attending Exeter High School. “I got a good mark on it — 90 per cent,” the 22-year-old re- membered. “But it was my dad who said it would make a good kids’book.” So Daniels approached a friend, who had started her own company publishing mainly his- tory books out of Kingston, called Cranberry Hill. The pub- lisher was looking for ways to expand into new directions and that’s how ‘Harry Grape’saw its way into print. Also an aspiring artist, Daniels also illustrated the book, which he calls a story time picture book designed for “quality time between parents and their children” before bed- time. ‘Harry Grape’ is ideal for children aged two to nine, he said. “Children’s literature is something I find very interest- ing,” Daniels added. “I’ve been involved in art for a long time and have always been writing stories.” Daniels said he’s also had a long-standing relationship with children, having worked with them at summer camps and at a portrait studio. He was also part of the ‘Crit- ical path youth project’, offered to new young Canadians and children with special needs through the Social Development Council of Ajax-Pickering. “We went to schools and put on puppet plays. I was Equality Man, a character I created to promote anti-racism,” Daniels said. “So, I know kids. I know what kids find funny.” Look for a possible children book series down the road and a contemporary adult novel with Daniels’ name on it. Those are just some of the projects the young writer is developing. In the meantime, you can meet ‘Harry Grape’ firsthand at his book launch Saturday, Nov. 23 at Chapters in the Durham Centre in Ajax. Daniels will read from his book shortly after 1 p.m. and hand out goodies until store closing.

Durham youth shine as Tamil group hits the stage Pickering school hosts more than 40 performers for cultural event The following movies open this weekend in local theatres. HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS Directed by Chris Columbus Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Kenneth Branagh, Robbie Coltraine, Alan Rickman Harry Potter has not had a good summer. Not only has he had to put up with his overbear- ing Aunt Petunia and Uncle Ver- non Dursley and their dread of his magical abilities, but it seems as if Harry’s best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger have forgotten him as they haven’t replied to one of his let- ters. Then, suddenly and mysteri- ously, house-elf Dobby appears in Harry’s bedroom and warns him of great danger if he should attempt to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wiz- ardry. But despite the elf’s mis- chievous efforts to thwart Harry’s return, the ever determined Harry is rescued from the Dursleys’ dreary clutches by Ron and his brothers and whisked into the warmth of the Weasley house- hold. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Harry finds his first-year heroics have caused him to become the centre of much unwanted atten- tion. His new fans include Ron’s little sister Ginny; first year would-be photographer Colin Creevey; and most irritatingly, the new defence against the dark arts professor, Gilderoy Lock- hart. Outshone only by his own vanity, Lockhart craves the atten- tion Harry shuns. But not even Lockhart can offer an explanation for the sinister new terror grip- ping the school. Now all eyes are on Harry, and his so-called friends are beginning to doubt him. Everyone, that is, except Ron and Hermione and fragile young Ginny, who has shifted her focus to her mysterious new diary. But Harry is not about to let his friends down and, with or without the support of Lockhart, will confront the dark force lurk- ing in his beloved school. HALF PAST DEAD Directed by Don Michael Paul Starring Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Tony Plana, Claudia Christian, Bruce Weitz Sascha Petrosevitch is a wid- owed undercover agent posing as a tough, international car thief. He has many friends on both sides of the law. One of them, ca- reer criminal Nick Frazier, has been like a brother to him. One night while on a heist job, Sascha and Nick are intercepted by a fe- male FBI agent, EZ Williams, who, unbeknownst to Nick, is working in tandem with Sascha. Nick refuses to surrender and the Feds open fire. Sascha takes seven bullets for Nick, saving his friend’s life, and nearly losing his own. To main- tain his cover, Sascha is sen- tenced with Nick to the newly re- furbished, high-tech Alcatraz, where inmates are fitted with special implants to prevent es- cape. The prison also boasts a state- of-the-art execution chamber, which will be used for the first time on the infamous criminal Lester, who’s been charged with robbing an armoured vehicle of $200 million worth of gold that was never recovered. However, intercepting that plan is a group of expertly trained mercenaries called the ‘49ers,’ who break into the highly secure prison. Led by 49er One, the group has come for one thing only –– to find out where the missing gold has been buried. When Lester refuses to tell them, they begin taking hostages, and it’s up to Sascha to rally the pris- oners to take on the ruthless com- mando force.

By January, the club will have undergone a complete renovation, expanding its gymnastics space by 8,500 square feet to 19,500 square feet. But, more importantly, the new-look facility will allow the club to become a “full-service” fa- cility, meaning new programs, in- cluding power tumbling, will be added and others will be expanded. Aerials’head coach Glen Coop- er said the non-profit club had ar- rived at a crossroads with its Kingston and Fairport roads facili- ty. With the gymnastics programs bursting at the seams, the club was looking at one of two options: a larger facility or pray for the oppor- tunity to renovate the existing site. “We had maxed out our facility here and we’ve been running at ca- pacity for some time,” noted Coop- er, head coach for the past four years. “We wanted to be able to offer new programs, but the space just wasn’t available. We were kind of limited as to what we could offer. “We’re a non-profit facility and our whole mandate is to offer the best programs and the most pro- grams we can.” The club’s prayers were an- swered this year. An opportunity existed to expand the facility after the tenant to the west of the Aerials, Greendale Warehouse, moved. Suf- fice it to say, the club jumped at the chance to incorporate that space into its current facility. Currently, only a doorway exists that leads into the new section. Most of the west wall will be re- moved by the end of the project and a new 60-foot tumbling runway will be added, along with a trampo- line at ground level. In the new year, the Aerials will add to the recreational and compet- itive trampoline programs and in- troduce power tumbling. Power tumbling is an offshoot of gymnas- tics, but focuses on a number of skills performed on a runway. The Aerials will initially offer it at the recreational level, with an eye to- ward expanding to include a com- petitive program in the near future. The Aerials will also expand the places in its recreational artistic gymnastics program. Currently, the Aerials have 700 recreational and 100 competitive gymnasts. They hope to increase that number to a combined 1,600. “It’s going to take us a few years, but that’s what we hope to do,” said Cooper, adding the club plans to expand its recreational boys’ program and launch a com- petitive program for males in the next couple of years. Lorraine Bianchet, the club’s head recreational coach, said the increased spaces for the artistic gymnastics program will allow the club to retain its elite gymnasts. “We’ll offer more competitive- stream spaces so they don’t have to go to another club.” In terms of the renovations and equipment, Cooper said the club will spend approximately $100,000, although it has applied for a Trillium grant to cover some of the costs of the new equipment. Football peewees play Scarborough Sunday DURHAM — The Ajax-Picker- ing Dolphins peewee football team is going to the final after an exciting double-overtime victory last week- end. The Dolphins compete for the Central Ontario Minor Football League peewee championship against the Scarborough Thunder at Oshawa Civic Fields this Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m. In tough on the road against the favoured Burlington Stampeders last Sunday, the Dolphins stunned their hosts by scoring a 22-14 dou- ble-overtime victory. The semifinal resembled a street fight as both teams struggled back and forth to gain the advantage. An unrelenting Dolphins’ defence stuffed the Stampeders on a fourth- and-two attempt, which turned the ball over to the offence with six minutes remaining in the second overtime. The offence methodically moved the ball, with the big play coming when quarterback Jesse Andrews hooked up with tight end Ben Schembri for a 27-yard pass-and- run play with 1:52 left in the period. Running back Jayson DiNatale barged into the end zone with 46 seconds remaining for the major. The Dolphins’special teams and defence played a key part in the vic- tory, bringing the Stampeders to a standstill. DiNatale racked up over 200- yards rushing, while fullback Jah- moy Tyrell added 125 more on the ground. Head coach Ken Fedosen com- mented it was a “heart-and-soul” ef- fort from all team members that paved the way for the heart-stop- ping victory. “They refused to be denied the victory,” said Fedosen. He gave full marks to the offen- sive line anchored by centre Bren- don Eadie and supported by Richard Morrison, Dylan Locke, Brendan Santos, Schembri, Andrew Smith and Shawn Walker, which opened running gaps. Defensive linemen Richard Mor- rison, Cameron McNairn, Craig Smith and Chris Webber stymied the Stampeders’ vaunted wishbone running attack. Linebackers Nick Williams, Brent Ste-Croix, Joytin Handa and the backfield corps, led by defensive captain Elboron Barzegar, made key tackles. Defen- sive backs and safeties Robert Spagnola, Shanic Thomas, Troy Bentley, Troy Davis and Scott Mac- Donald also shared in the defensive gem.
