DURHAM —Police have identified the passenger killed in a motor vehicle collision that closed a stretch of Hwy. 7 for several hours Tuesday morning. Ontario Provincial Police say Stephane Lefebvre, 23, of Brampton was killed at 7:17 a.m. when the eastbound Honda Civic he was travelling in slid into an oncoming Chevy Impala just west of Westney Road. Mr. Lefebvre and the driver of the Honda Civic, 25-year-old Gheorghe Aftan of Mississauga, were both pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Impala, a 65-year-old Oshawa man, was treated for minor injuries at Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital and released. Witnesses are asked to con- tact OPP Constable Jason Di- minie at 905-668-3388. Crash victim identified Police hunt ‘coward’ in violent holdup Pickering coffee shop worker beaten, stripped and robbed BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING ––A 30-year-old woman remains in hospital with se- rious facial injuries after she was robbed, badly beaten and stripped of her clothes by a doughnut-shop bandit, who police are calling “a coward.” The mother of two, who was working alone in the Coffee Time at Gates Plaza when attacked early Wednesday, suffered a broken jaw and smashed teeth and numerous bruises. “She’s been seriously hurt and is in a lot of pain. It was a very trau- matic experience for her,” said Durham might help hospital Committee agrees to consider $3.5-million request from local officials BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Regional taxpay- ers could help fund local hospital expansions in the near future if council approves a request from the Rouge Valley Pickering and Ajax hospital for a $3.5 million contribu- tion. “I think we all know there are two issues on the minds of resi- dents: hospitals and health,” said Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son at a special finance meeting Wednesday. Hospital representa- tives asked the Region to fund a quarter of the community’s required commitment of 30 per cent of the $50-million project. The $3.5 mil- lion would represent about 7.5 per cent of the total cost of the expan- sion project. “The Province has told us they’re ready to put this project forward,” said Hume Martin, the hospital’s president and CEO. “We have met all the criteria. The only criteria the hospital hasn’t yet met is a commit- ment to the local funding.” The Province agreed to fund 70 per cent of the $46-million proposal with the remainder, $13.7 million, to be raised in the community. His- torically, this has been the standard financing split between the Province and the local communities, noted Pickering Councillor Mark Holland. Mr. Hume added that in some areas, the local community has covered more than than half or even the en- tire cost of the project. “Historically communities have See DURHAM page 2 See POLICE page 4 contributed,” said Coun. Holland. “This is not a new phenomenon. This is not unique.” Jim Clapp, fi- nance commis- sioner for the Re- gion, says since Durham was formed in 1974 the regional gov- ernment had never contributed to hospital fund- raising campaigns prior to this year’s $7.5-million con- tribution to the re- gional cancer cen- tre being built in Oshawa. Under previous legisla- tion, Regions did have the ability to collect develop- ment charges (DCs) from builders for hos- pital capital pro- jects, however Durham never chose to do this, he says. Under new development charge legislation, the Region cannot collect DCs for this purpose. Some regional councillors have lobbied to have the Province re- verse that deci- sion. Gord Sim- monds, chairman of the Ajax and Pickering hospi- tal’s Vital Links Campaign, urged the Region to ap- prove the dona- tion as quickly as possible to ensure the Province’s continued sup- port. “If we dilly- dally, the long list of hospitals in other areas look- ing for money could get their at- tention,” he said. Chairman An- derson said he hopes council will consider funding not only this project but all Durham hospital expansions where the Province has agreed to fund 70 per cent of the cost. This will help ensure the provincial dollars are not lost due to lack of local funds, the chair- man said. Oshawa Coun- cillor John Gray said he would have a concern making a sweep- ing policy regard- ing health-care funding, especial- ly given the intense debate that oc- curred around the issue in the past term of council. The councillor said he would like to look at each request on an individual basis. Uxbridge is currently in the ini- tial stages of building a new hospital and in Bowmanville expansion plans have been discussed over the past few years although there has been no announcement to date. Mr. Simmonds told the commit- tee it not only makes good health- care sense to support the hospital expansion but will also make eco- nomic sense. “Excellent health care is an important contributor to healthy economic development helping to attract companies and in- dividual families,” he said.

Council voted Wednesday to delay the vote until Feb. 12. The in- tent of the deferral is to allow mu- nicipalities more time to study a re- port recommending a new regional headquarters released Jan. 10 and to hold public consultation meetings if they desire. Oshawa suggested it may hire the auditing firm of De- loitte and Touche to review the Re- gional staff business case, which suggests ownership would save mil- lions of dollars over the lifespan of the building. Clarington also wants to review the proposal while Ajax plans to hold a public meeting. Meanwhile, even some council- lors who said they support the pro- ject and believe it will be financially beneficial suggested the delay would allow the public to digest the information. Pickering Councillor Mark Holland said he would like the time to reverse the impression left with some of his constituents by a mail-out distributed by the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce en- titled, ‘Ratepayers to be hammered again.’ Bob Malcolmson, the CEO and general manager of the Greater Os- hawa Chamber of Commerce, was on the hot seat as regional council- lors took turns lambasting his orga- nization’s letter-writing campaign. The letter suggested other regional services may suffer if the headquar- ters proposal is approved. It urged people to express concern with the project, proposed for the Region’s Rossland Road and Garden Street property where the current regional headquarters is located. On Wednesday Mr. Malcolmson said the chamber still has questions about the business case and needs more time to have those questions answered by staff prior to reaching a conclusion on the wisdom of own- ing versus leasing. Mr. Malcolmson presented council with more than 700 of the form letters returned to the chamber from residents in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. The chamber sent out 19,000 letters to selected homes in those municipalities as a follow-up to an earlier mail-out in north Durham. “How can the chamber send something out when on one hand you are saying you need more infor- mation to make a definitive opinion yet you send out a letter saying ‘the ratepayers are going to get ham- mered again’?” Coun. Holland questioned. Mr. Malcolmson said he has had calls and letters from residents ex- pressing thanks for alerting them to the issue. The proposed five-storey build- ing would be built by EllisDon at a cost of $44 million with an addi- tional $13 million included for fur- nishings and equipment. As well, the price tag includes a $3.75 mil- lion contingency fund and $7 mil- lion for taxes and other costs. The finance department’s busi- ness case suggests ownership would be better for a number of reasons in- cluding: • A savings of $500,000 in the first year alone with an overall sav- ings in “present value dollars” of $8.5 million over 20 years and $28.2 million over 35 years. In cur- rent value dollars those numbers are even higher, suggesting savings of up to $121 million over the life of the building; • Three of the current leased fa- cilities are not deemed suitable for future occupancy due to issues relat- ed to sub-standard office space/con- ditions; • Leasing a larger, more modern building to consolidate staff, may not be feasible due to a lack of “suit- able office space of a sufficient size and standard,” with sufficient park- ing and technology capabilities; • The one building owned by the Region, the existing headquarters facility, is approaching 40 years of age and the Region faces capital costs of at least $5.5 million over the next 10 years. However, some regional council- lors, including Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, suggested there may be an alternative staff has not yet evaluat- ed such as renovating the current building and expanding it. A new headquarters “may be, at the end of the day, the way to go,” he said but he added, three to four weeks to “take a second look at it,” won’t hurt. The EllisDon price is fixed until the end of April. Anyone who would like to re- view the Region’s business case for the proposal can view it on-line at www.region.durham.on.ca.

Bleeding and naked in sub-zero tem- peratures, the victim made her way to a phone booth near the coffee shop, at 340 Kingston Rd., and called 911 at 4:37 a.m., after the ordeal. She told police a man armed with a small axe or hatchet entered the dough- nut shop, demanded money and ordered her to take off her clothes. The bandit emptied the cash register and took money from a back room. He then vio- lently attacked the victim for no reason, Sgt. Malik said. “She may have briefly lost consciousness during the assault,” he said. “(The robber) is a coward. It was just a cowardly and vicious attack on a defenceless victim.” She was taken by ambulance to Scarborough Grace Hospital, where she is still recovering, Sgt. Malik said. A massive police manhunt that in- cluded scent-tracking dogs was launched but failed to lead to her at- tacker, who left in an unknown direc- tion. The victim was not sexually assault- ed as initially believed, police said. Detectives from the robbery squad are investigating the violent holdup, and probing possible similarities to a recent robbery in the Scarborough area. The suspect is black, about 160 pounds, with a small build, small eyes, wearing a winter hat with earflaps and armed with a ‘hatchet-like tool.’ Anyone with information is asked to call 905-579-1520, ext. 5359. POLICE from page 1 Police tape surrounds the phone booth where a robbery victim placed a call early Wednesday. She is recovering in a Scarborough hospital, police say. Investigation continues into cause of fatal blaze BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —While the investi- gation into a fatal townhouse fire contin- ues, five families are due back in their homes at the end of this week. Five of the eight units at Orchard Val- ley Court have now been released back to the Durham Non-Profit Housing Cor- poration (DNHC) and are being cleaned and “defogged” of smoke odours, said chairman Maurice Brenner, a Pickering councillor. “Five of the eight units are habitable. Residents should be able to go back to them by the end of the week or begin- ning of next week,” said Coun. Brenner. The three remaining townhomes still involved in the fire investigation, includ- ing the Maillets, will be “out of circula- tion” for several months, he said. No cause has yet been determined for the blaze, which broke out Saturday at around 4 a.m., trapping Briann Maillet, six, and her two-year-old sister, Kiara Charles inside. Nor have funeral arrangements been announced for the sisters, who were found in their bedrooms after the fire was extinguished. Their mother, Debra Maillet and her 11-year-old daughter Shiann are still in To ronto hospitals recovering from in- juries after jumping from a third-floor window. Neighbours tried to enter the house, including Ms. Maillet’s nine-year-old son Jesse, but he was turned back by the flames. He had been staying overnight with friends and is now with relatives. One of the other displaced families is staying with relatives until they can re- turn to their unit, said Coun. Brenner. The other family has been offered a transfer to another Durham Region non- profit complex on an interim basis, he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 24, 2003 PAGE 5 A/P Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies.

Fi ve other families forced out of their homes are ex- pected to return by the end of this week. You’ve come a long way, baby. Or have you? In the 1920s, five determined women convinced the Canadian gov- ernment to declare women were in- deed ‘persons.’ This led to women attaining the right to vote and opened the door to women having the same rights as men. Over the last 80 years, women have inched their way up the ladder in a wide range of areas, from the boardroom to the operating room. Last year, for the first time, there were more women enrolled in Cana- dian universities than men. However, if we look at the basic wage of a woman compared to that of a man for the same work, we see considerable disparity still exists. Case in point: a 19-year-old man recently began his first real job, here in Durham Region. It was a labourer job, where no skills or training were necessary. It was not a physically de- manding job, and the young man began working eight-hour shifts, five days a week for $9 per hour. Not a lot of money, but he was satisfied it was fair pay for his time and effort. Recently, a 50-year-old woman began a job here in Durham Region for a high-profile locally owned small company. She brought with her many years of experience in re- lated work, most of it at home with her family. While not certified in the area of expertise of the business, she had done much of this particular spe- cialty and was quite adept at it. Money was not discussed up front, since she assumed it would be a fair amount for the work to be done. Near the end of the fourth day, she was told her hourly wage would be $8. This, for a person who by the fourth day, made over 1,200 pieces of product, most finished and packed before the end of an eight-hour shift. Wo rking a 40-hour week, with one-half hour deducted each day for lunch, this woman could expect to make approximately $300 per week, about $1,200 per month with no ben- efits. With rents in the $900 to $1,000 per month range, how could a person hope to exist on such a wage? The woman was insulted and quit at the end of the fourth day. She was fortunate in that she did not need the money to pay the rent and did secure a more lucrative job, shortly after. But what about the women who are supporting themselves and have no choices? How could they survive on this meagre income and why should they have to? When will the knowledge and ex- pertise of women and the contribu- tions they make finally be properly recognized and rewarded? We ’ve come a long way, baby. Or have we? We haven’t really come a long way, baby Diane Runcieman Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 24, 2003 www.durhamregion.com History does repeat itself To the editor: Re: ‘We’re far from ready for the rocking chair,’William Little opinion shaper, Jan. 17. Mr. Little states “Never before has there been such a large demographic group that has had no model before them from previ- ous generations.” For Mr. Little’s edifica- tion, the generation (of which I am one) im- mediately before his does present a model — thanks to the actions of his generation. It was the baby boomer generation that cast my generation to the side for exactly the reasons whined about by Mr. Little. Many of my generation were either termi- nated or forced into early retirement be- cause they were regarded “as past it”. The baby boomers were regarded as the genera- tion with fresh ideas and approaches. Sound familiar, Mr. Little? Mr. Little and I do agree on a couple of very important points. First, employers have lost the years of experience of these individ- uals and those years of experience cannot be replenished overnight. Second, there is no reason to retire if you do not wish to do so. With the shortage of experienced staff available to the short- sighted employers, there are all sorts of op- portunities for an experienced person to pro- vide consulting services or become a con- tract employee.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 24, 2003 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com It took seven years and thousands of dollars in legal fees, but a Pickering couple’s distressing battle with the federal government over improperly assessed back taxes ended happily this month. Tom and Helen Brouwer raised 82 children as foster parents over a 31-year period and were ordered by the federal government in 1996 to pay $100,000 in back taxes for payments they received through a foster parent agency. The Brouwers are a picture of domestic success. They are active and compassionate, involved in their community. They approached their duties as foster parents in much the same way they live their lives — with dignity, love and a good dose of common sense. Those characteristics helped them raise children with a better chance at the future, with proper social tools and the knowledge that love provides a strong foundation for growth. Their unseemly battle with the federal government underscored the need for consistency in applying tax laws as they relate to fos- ter parents. The problem for the Brouwers arose when they gave their time to a for-profit foster parents organization and continued to receive assistance payments for their services. Their status, be- cause they were hired by the for-profit agency, led to the demand for back-tax payments. But the federal government has since acknowledged it was wrong in assessing this case. As Canada Customs and Revenue Agency spokesman Collette Gentes-Hawn noted in an interview after the overdue settlement for the Brouwers, “Some parts of the country have interpreted the act one way, while others have been interpreting it another.” The federal government must establish clear protocols to be ho- noured nationwide as tax laws relate to foster parent income. It must educate its regional personnel to ensure consistency in the applica- tion of those laws. And it must create a more effective appeal sys- tem for people like the Brouwers, who were mired in a bureaucrat- ic maze with little power or knowledgeable guidance. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague took up the cause last year, giving the Brouwers a chance to make their case. Through their collective efforts, this case finally had a positive outcome. People like the Brouwers deserve recognition for their decades- long commitment to giving young people a hand up in our commu- nity. They deserve credit for their selflessness. They deserve the re- spect of an entire community. They didn’t deserve the harrowing experience they endured. Couple deserved credit and respect, not tax demands After so many years of giving, Brouwers didn’t need harrowing experience www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 24, 2003 PAGE 7 A/P Sabrina Mullen helps build support for medical research. Sabrina Mullen helps build support for people living with Huntington Disease – a hereditary brain disorder – and their families. As a member of and volunteer with the Huntington Society of Canada, she helps host fundraising events and contributes to the Toronto chapter’s quarterly newsletter. In addition, she is a cornerstone of the Society’s efforts to raise awareness about the disease, its impact and the need for more research. In February, Sabrina planned a well-attended information night featuring a leading medical expert. “Because Huntington’s is related to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s diseases, insights into Huntington’s will have far-reaching benefits,” says Sabrina. “My dream is that ultimately medical science will discover a cure.” We w ould like to thank Sabrina and the many other dedicated RBC Royal Bank employees who are involved in their communities volunteering their time to help make dreams come true.

The service club recently honoured the north Durham resident with its first-ever community leadership award. “I was both honoured and humbled to be the recipient of this inaugural award from the Rotary Club of Pickering,” said Ms. Wide- man. “Awards such as this encourage the re- cipient’s continuance in the pursuit of high ethical standards within business, communi- ty and in all relationships.” Ms. Wideman is the vice-president of em- ployee services for the Lenbrook Group of Companies in Pickering. She joined the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade (APBOT) in 1985 as Lenbrook’s representative. Over the years, Ms. Wideman served as director, second vice-president, first vice- president, chairman of the government rela- tions committee, and the APBOT’s represen- tative on the Durham Region Joint Boards of Tr ade/Chamber of Commerce. She was also a board member of the Bureau for Excel- lence in Durham Region. In 1994, Ms. Wideman become the co- chairman of the business reference group for the Durham Region Local Training Board, participating in several subcommittees and key strategic initiatives. More recently, she resumed the role of APBOT’s government relations committee and is first vice-president of the board. Ms. Wideman was selected because “she understands her vocation has value in the community and she uses the abilities she has learned through her work experience to help the community,” said Mr. Dyk. A mother of four, Ms. Wideman is also minister of music and co-chairman of a building expansion under way at her church. JOAN WIDEMAN ‘I was both honoured and humbled to be the recipient...’ DURHAM —Public school board trustees and staff on Monday honoured programs superintendent Bev Freedman, who is leav- ing the board at the end of the month after roughly nine years. The Jan. 20 Durham Dis- trict School Board meeting was Ms. Freedman’s last. Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine paid tribute to Ms. Freedman’s educational standards, compassion and commitment to excellence. “Bev is what every parent would like to see in an edu- cator,” she said. “We could not have hoped for a more outstanding superintendent and leader in the system. We are forever grateful.” Craig Burch, who be- comes the board’s director of education Feb. 1, said he would miss “not having a person who sometimes took a different view. “I will also miss Bev’s caring and concern for all the children in our board,” he said at the meeting. Ms. Freedman said she is leaving her portfolio in good hands with new programs su- perintendent Luigia Ayotte. “I will think of you long- ingly when I’m reading a book or working on my doc- torate,” she told the board. “This is an extraordinary board. My colleagues and the trustees are knowledge- able and caring and they have allowed me to grow as a person.” Ms. Freedman compli- mented her “dynamic and caring” staff, and said she has come to love the parents and community of Durham.

Mr. Burton, president of the Joshua Creek Ratepayer Association, was in Durham to address the GTA Task Force on Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) Reforms. The task force, initiated by Durham Region, is headed by Regional Chairman Roger Anderson with members from all GTA municipalities including Toron- to and Hamilton. The committee in- tends to send a report to the Province early this spring with recommenda- tions on changing the way the OMB operates. The OMB is a provincial agency where developers, residents or other interested parties can appeal planning decisions made by local municipali- ties and regions. “For all intents and purposes the OMB has become the decision-maker about land use for most municipali- ties,” John Sewell, a former mayor of To ronto told the task force. “Devel- opers know they can usually override municipal councils by going to the OMB and forcing a long and costly hearing. (Municipal) official plans have no status at the council or the OMB... everything seems nego- tiable.” For Mr. Burton and the residents he represents, this has been the expe- rience. In the past “eight or nine years” he has lived in his subdivision of single-family homes with a mix- ture of housing from small 600 square-foot homes right up to estate lots of 5,000 square feet. In that time, he says, his group has been involved with the OMB a half-dozen times and spent tens of thousands of dollars to do so. “In every case our community suf- fered as a result,” Mr. Burton relates. Although in some situations the de- veloper didn’t get everything he de- sired, there was never a time when the full intent of the official plan was upheld, he says. Often, the cases have been heard at the request of a devel- oper after Oakville council had de- nied the application, Mr. Burton says. “Our history has been a story of pressures by land speculators and promoters eager to change the land- use designations on their properties. These have not been happy experi- ences for us,” he told the task force. Some of the projects the neighbour- hood has opposed include a waste transfer station, a water treatment plant, truck transfer operations in- cluding one with a 300,000-square foot warehouse “all of which are too close to the abutting residences,” Mr. Burton said. Peter Hennessy, a senior manager for the OMB said in an earlier inter- view, “The board doesn’t provide comment in terms of its mandate. The Province set the act and the board will continue to exercise that man- date.”Any change in the type of hear- ings conducted by the board would have to be addressed through the Ministry of the Attorney General, he said. Durham’s decision to form the task force followed endorsement by Durham council of a May 8 resolu- tion by the City of Mississauga ask- ing the government to review the role of the OMB, the Planning Act and the Ontario Municipal Board Act. In its resolution, Mississauga council stated minor planning matters currently being referred to the OMB should remain at the local planning level and the City called on the gov- ernment to “restore local control over planning by involving citizens and ensuring decisions are made by de- mocratically elected officials.” Mis- sissauga stated “smart growth,” a planning principle for ensuring effec- tive, manageable growth, cannot be accomplished currently because deci- sions made locally can be overturned “by an appointed body with often lit- tle knowledge of the municipalities whose future they are shaping.” While Mr. Burton would like to see the OMB abolished, the task force recommendation probably won’t go that far, says Chairman An- derson. He suggests the complexity of throwing out the system all togeth- er would be too great and time-con- suming to allow municipal business to function. However, he says, he does believe when it releases its re- port to the Province, there is a strong chance a list of reform measures will be highly recommended. Public board settles contract with clerical, technical workers DURHAM —Durham’s public school board on Jan. 20 ratified a one-year collective agreement with the office/clerical/technical unit, Local 218 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The union and the Durham Dis- trict School Board reached a tenta- tive deal in December and the union ratified the agreement Jan. 8. The deal is retroactive to March 1, 2002, and sees employees receive a 3.95 per cent raise by the end of next month. At that time, employees’ salaries will range from $12.50 to $26.77 per hour, up from a minimum of $12.22 and a maximum of $26.17. As well, a benefit plan improve- ment, effective April 1, will see the dental rate based on the 2000 Ontario Dental Association rates.

There have been wedding invita- tions.” One boy, Mr. Brouwer proudly pointed out, went on to graduate from university after their care. They took in 82 children over a peri- od of 31 years, but in 1996 received the shock of their lives. Canada Customs and Revenue Agency claimed the cou- ple owed $100,000 in back taxes for payments they received through Stewart Homes, a for-profit agency in Peterbor- ough. The Brouwers fought the federal tax department for six years, shuttling back and forth between their home in Picker- ing and an Ottawa court while interest and penalty costs compounded. Last spring, they finally gave up and paid $78,000 by cashing in their retirement savings. “It just became too much for both of us. We began to lose sleep. We were talking too much about it,” said Mr. Brouwer. In November, the Brouwers decided to go public with their struggle and things started to happen. The issue caught the attention of Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague and sev- eral talk shows. Mr. Brouwer received news they would be getting a full refund the week after Christmas. “My wife was in Australia at the time visiting one of our children,” he said. “When I called her, I couldn’t speak.” Canada Customs and Revenue Agency officials say there was confu- sion as to the tax status of foster parents like the Brouwers, who receive social- assistance payments for their services but are hired by for-profit organizations. Some weren’t properly assessed, added spokesman Collette Gentes-Hawn. “Some parts of the country have in- terpreted the act one way, while others have been interpreting it another,” she said. “But money paid to foster parents is not taxable if it is for a child living in a home they rent or own.” Mr. Brouwer, who is still fighting to recoup legal fees of about $5,600, said the charges of back taxes were hard to take given the level of commitment the couple has given to foster service over the years. “If you work it out by hour and it’s not a one-man operation, it is far below minimum wage,” he argued. “When the kids come home from school they need care and supervision.” Foster care isn’t a 9-to-5 job, Mr. Brouwer added. Parents of two sons and a daughter, the Brouwers decided to foster their first child in 1969, wanting to round out their family with another boy. But the couple was hit hard when his natural mother came to collect him about two years later. “The Children’s Aid (Society) came back to us and said, ‘You did such a ter- rific job. Would you like to foster again?’” Mr. Brouwer remembered. “But we thought, ‘This is too hard’.” CAS officials convinced them other- wise and eventually, Mr. Brouwer, a production manager in between jobs, and Mrs. Brouwer, a child-care worker, were operating their own group home. They came to Pickering in 1983, some- times having as many as seven children under their charge. The family became involved in the sibling program, which Mr. Brouwer said was fulfilling because it kept broth- ers and sisters together and meant work- ing with one natural parent. When the CAS discontinued its sib- ling program in 1983, the Brouwers turned to Stewart Homes and said he was told his services would be tax-free. Private agencies take much of the over- flow from the CAS, he explained, which are often much more difficult children. “But it was a tremendous experi- ence,” said Mr. Brouwer. “We formed an excellent team, my wife and I. We never had trouble and things like that can be hard on a marriage.” “I use to think I had a busy job but I ended up getting a lot busier.” P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, January 24, 2003 www.durhamregion.com CABLE 10 Durham and York Regions, Simcoe County 2003 Ontario Curling Championships The Nokia Cup &Scott Tournament of Hearts Exclusive coverage January 25 – February 2 Only on Rogers Cable To order call 1-888-ROGERS1 Full program schedule available on-line at www.rogerstelevision.com To e-Curling ActionToe-Curling Action 1477 Bayly Street, Pickering, ON L1W 3R5 Phone: 905-420-6484 After 16 years in the second hand clothing business we have decided to move in a new direction.

Have winter fun next door in February Greenwood Conservation home to a day of seasonal activities for the whole family Feb. 8 AJAX —It’s cold, but the time is right for some frosty fun. Winterfest, presented by Ajax recreation services, is a day of out- door fun for the whole family. This year it’s being held Saturday, Feb. 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Greenwood Conservation Area.

Quite the contrary, schlockey is perhaps the most popular of a number of unique activities that are part of the school’s PROPS program, where 25 children in Grades 6 through 8 organize games for the younger children during recess and lunch time. PROPS, short for Peers Run- ning Organized Play Stations, was introduced at a handful of schools last January by Durham’s two school boards in conjunction with the health department as a way of increasing physical activity and social interaction. If Coronation’s success is any indication, PROPS should be well-received when it is officially launched on March 31 at Eastdale Collegiate, after which time it is hoped every school within the Durham district public and sepa- rate school boards will jump on board. “The kids love it. It’s just an amazing program,” says Carole Morgulis, who teaches Grade 4 at Coronation and oversees the PROPS program along with col- league Tracey Wray. “Last year, we were one of the few schools that got it up and running. Now we have other schools coming and seeing us in action to see what we’ve actually done.” Among the “oodles of games” that are played at Coronation is schlockey, a version of hockey where two players with bladeless sticks try to guide a puck into small nets on a wooden board. The board is similar in size to a table hockey game, but sits on the ground. “Every time we bring out schlockey, we have long lines,” says Morgulis, whose father, Doug Dickson, made two such boards for the school. Tw enty-five student leaders were taught about 30 games by teachers at the start of the school year. Many are conventional ac- tivities re-invented, such as play- ing tag with rubber chickens or four-square with more than one ball. “I really like it because it’s a learning experience,” says 12- year-old Michael Hunter, one of the student leaders. “You get to learn how to be a leader and what to do in case there’s an emer- gency. You’re pretty well-trained and it’s a lot of fun.” Hunter, a well-spoken student and good athlete who plays club basketball, says the program will definitely help him down the road, no matter what path he chooses. “It’s a little bit far off for me, but maybe later on if I have to deal with children, I’ll know how to handle them a little better,” Hunter says of his future career. “If I’m a parent, I’ll know how to entertain my kids at least.” Emily Boyd, another 12-year- old student leader, agrees that the PROPS program is beneficial to all involved. “This is my second year in it and it’s very enjoyable for both myself and the kids that we’re working with,” she says. “It’s a very enjoyable experience be- cause we’re learning different things, whether it’s from health and safety to working with younger children.” In addition to the PROPS pro- gram, the 500 students at Corona- tion have just wrapped up Healthy Living Week, which included a play put on by Grade 4 students and members of the Oshawa Gen- erals and RCMP talking to stu- dents about healthy living choic- es. In May, 350 students from kindergarten to Grade 6 will be in- volved with a bike rodeo with the help of the Kiwanis Club. “It’s a lot of fun and the teach- ers absolutely love it,” Morgulis says of the school’s high level of activity, and especially the PROPS program. “It helps with a lot of the be- haviour outdoors. We have less students coming into the office with problems. It’s just an amaz- ing program.” is proudly presented by ...because education is important Coronation is getting its ‘PROPS’ ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photos DURHAM –– Blake Delvecchio (main photo) enjoys a game of four square at Coronation Public School; Emily Boyd (top photo) displays the rubber chicken used in tag; while teacher Carole Morgulis (bottom photo) oversees the new program at the Oshawa school. ‘GetFitDurham’ is a monthly series profiling Durham schools which promote healthy, recreational lifestyles.

Twenty-two Ajax artists have teamed up for ‘Art works in the li- brary’, an exhibition that is part of the celebration currently under way to mark the opening of the Ajax Pub- lic Library’s new main branch. The art display opened Jan. 14, a collabo- ration of the PineRidge Arts Council, To wn of Ajax and the library, and runs until Sunday, March 2 in the fa- cility’s Rotary Room. “It’s a celebration of the opening of the new library with something else that is part of the arts — the lit- erature and visual arts,” said April Polak, a PineRidge member and one of the organizers of the event. A number of familiar names dot the impressive list of talent, includ- ing Carol Kapuscinsky, Polak, and Miles Tsang, who won the best in show youth award at the recent fourth annual PineRidge Arts Council and To wn of Ajax juried art show. “Ajax has such a huge well of tal- ent,” said Polak. “The 22 going in are just a small number of the talented visual artists in Ajax.” Among the work on display are oils, pencil, watercolours, and glass, with each artist entering one piece. Polak noted the show took shape quickly after some preliminary talks. “When they knew the new library was a go, (chief librarian) Geoff Nie and I loosely talked about maybe having a show for the opening,” she said. “About a month ago, Geoff called and asked me if I could help put a show together for the opening.” The Rotary Room will be used for a number of purposes, said Nie, in- cluding Rotary Club meetings and educational forums. He said because of this new visual arts aspect for the branch, it seemed only natural there be an exhibition to coincide with the official opening Friday, Jan. 24. “To have an art show in the library that is of the calibre that it’s going to be is a great plus for the community,” he said. Nie said adding the new compo- nent to the branch achieves two pur- poses. First, it offers space for an impor- tant aspect of the community that “doesn’t get enough exposure through other avenues”. The other reason, he said, is that it fits in nicely with the community and educational aspects of libraries. “It’s helping to fulfil the public mandate of a public library in the community,” he said. The exhibition can be viewed Monday to Thursday between 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The branch is at 55 Harwood Ave. S.

The Lightning peewee AA team beat Mississauga 2-1 in the bantam final to clinch the Scarborough tournament. Kayla Richard opened the scor- ing for Durham West in the third period when she wired a shot under the crossbar. Sec- onds later, Amy Johnson’s shot from her knees made it 2-0. Mississauga scored a power play goal to lessen the gap but the girls shut the door the rest of the way. In round-robin action, the girls fought to one win and three ties. The first game was against the host team from Scarbor- ough. Kendra Seto, on assists from Johnson and Natalie Spooner, provided all the Light- ning scoring in a 1-1 tie. Kimmy Caggiula stopped 18 shots in net for Durham West. Game 2 saw the girls play a physical Mississauga team to a 2-2 draw. Call-up Darija Davidson and Brooke Sawyer scored, with as- sists to Kristi Farrow and Tara Watc horn. Danielle Boudreau, Spooner and Johnson scored in Game 3 as the Lightning earned a 3-2 win over Scarborough. Spooner, Seto, Kaitlyn Hill and Allannah Wakefield earned assists. The final round-robin game against Mississauga ended in a 2-2 knot. The girls fell behind 2-0 but rallied on goals by Spooner, from Hill, and Far- row, who was assisted on the play by Trisha Egberts. Other team members are Kailey Chappell and Jessica Ronald. Dino Caggiula, Tim Wakefield, Greg Chappell, and Bob Watchorn coach the team, Liane Ronald and Drina Hill are the trainers, and Andrew Ronald is the manager.
