look at public’s
access to council
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City
council is going straight to the
source to find out how it can
make the public better in-
formed and more involved in
the political process.
“Anything we can do to get
the message out, more clear
and more transparent, I think is
a good idea and I invite the
community to give us their
input,” said Ward 2 City Coun-
cillor Bill McLean. “We need a
simpler process.”
Back in October 2001 coun-
cil asked City staff to report on
changes it was suggesting for
an information line on agenda
items, an increase to the circu-
lation radius for development
applications, and improving
public notification of proposed
bylaws. In addition, they asked
for additional measures that
would make the political
process more transparent to the
public.
Staff returned to the com-
mittee of the whole last Mon-
day with suggestions ranging
from getting agendas into
council’s hands more quickly,
to leaving copies of reports on
planning items out for the pub-
lic on meeting nights, and en-
suring plain language is used in
public notices.
However, the report also in-
cluded advice from the City so-

Pickering
wants you
Lifesaver comes in right on McCue
Ajax man comes
to rescue of heart
attack victim
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX —It didn’t take
long for Mickey McCue to put
into action the skills he
learned at a CPR course.
Call it a case of being in
the right place at the right
time. Walking down to the
basement of Moodie’s Motor
Inn off-track betting room in
Pickering Village recently to
get a bag of salt, Mr. McCue,
friend of manager Bob Mar-
shall and owner Steve Brit-
tain, had no idea he was about
to save a man’s life.
“Steve said somebody was
having a heart attack,” Mr.
McCue, an Ajax resident, re-
called. “I asked if anyone
knew CPR and he said they
didn’t, so I said ‘OK, let’s
go’.”
The 45-year-old was led to
a bathroom where he found a
man lying on the floor, nearly
dead, with both his wife and
Mr. Marshall standing by.
Although the man’s wife
thought it was a stroke, Mr.
McCue quickly determined he
was actually displaying symp-
toms of a heart attack.
Mr. McCue started CPR
when he lost a pulse and con-
tinued until shortly after para-
medics arrived 10 minutes
later.
“At one point we lost him
completely,” Mr. Marshall
said. “He looked like he died.”
The condition of the man’s
health began to improve after
paramedics began resuscita-
tion with a defibrillator.
“The paramedics said that
(Mr. McCue) saved his
life...he just took charge,” said
Mr. Marshall.
Despite a number of at-
tempts, the News Advertiser
was unable to track down the
victim. Mr. McCue and Mr.
Marshall only knew him by
his first name, Barry.
While Mr. McCue was on
hand to help in this case, Der-
rick Stein, who teaches CPR
and other vital first-aid cours-
es, noted the number of peo-
ple who are prepared to save
the life of a heart attack or
stroke victim is “by no means
high enough.
“Currently what people are
doing (to train themselves) is
not enough,” added Mr. Stein,
who trains at the Ajax-based
Workplace Training Services.
“Thirty eight per cent of peo-
ple end up suffering from
heart attacks, strokes, or coro-
nary diseases.”
That’s why having one
trained person in a group
won’t do.
“Even if one person in a
family knows CPR, what if
that’s the person who gets a
heart attack?” Mr. Stein
asked.
Since the incident, Mr.
Marshall said, there’s been
some talk among the Mood-
ie’s employees about taking,
or retaking, CPR courses. Mr.
McCue said it’s important
everyone receive first-aid
training.
“You never know when
you’ll need it,” he said.
The victim’s wife has
called Mr. McCue to thank
him, he noted.
As for the moment when a
man’s life depended on the
skills he was taught, Mr.
McCue said there was no sec-
ond-guessing.
“When the time comes,
you’ve just got to do it,” he
said.

Mickey McCue’s CPR instruction paid off handsomely when
he helped stabilize a heart attack victim in Pickering Village.
He’s since been thanked by the victim and his family.

Energy retailer
says all signs point
to increase in
electricity bills
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —From the
energy retailer’s point of view
there’s no two ways about it —
the price of electricity is going
up.
The only question remain-
ing is by how much.
Carmine DiRuscio, sales
manager from First Source —
the energy retailing joint ven-
ture between Veridian Corpo-
ration, the local utility partially
owned by the City, and Ener-
source Hydro Mississauga Ser-
vices Inc. — told Pickering
council Monday night con-
sumers have two choices.
They can do nothing when
the market opens May 1 and be
subject to an unstable price for
their electricity, or sign a long-
term contract with a retailer,
guaranteeing their electricity
price for a fixed term. Howev-
er, either way, he said, the price
is headed up.
Mr. DiRuscio said the cur-
rent price of energy, as report-
ed by the Ontario Energy
Board, is 4.3 cents per kilo-
watt-hour and First Source is
offering consumers a three-
year fixed rate of 5.69 cents.
“The philosophy behind
deregulation is that over the
long run increases will be less
than what they would have
been under the old monopoly
situation,” he explained. “That
4.3 cents will change after the
market opens.”
But, Mr. DiRuscio’s expla-
nation left several councillors,
angered over the Province’s
decision to open the market,
less than satisfied.
“It’s going to be a night-
mare,” said Ward 1 Regional
Councillor Maurice Brenner.
“The government of Ontario is
doing a disservice to the con-
sumer... deregulation means a
minimum increase of 25 per
cent. How can they say it’sCARMINE DiRUSCIO
‘Over the long run,
increases will be less...’
AJAX ––An 18-year-old
Pickering man is charged with
aggravated assault after a 22-
year-old Pizza Pizza employee
was severely beaten Friday
night.
Durham Regional Police said
the victim was attacked by two
youths outside the Ajax store, at
706 Harwood Ave. S., at around
11:15 p.m.
Witnesses told police the em-
ployee was knocked to the
ground and kicked in the face
and body numerous times prior
to the arrival of officers.
The victim, an Ajax man,
suffered serious facial wounds
including cuts and broken teeth
and a possible broken arm, po-
lice said. He was taken to Ajax
and Pickering Health Centre and
likely will require reconstructive
surgery. Police said the alterca-
tion began when a group of
youths entered the pizza store
and someone apparently spit on
the employee. One man was ar-
rested at the scene.
Gerald Lamb, 18, of Deer-
brook Drive, Pickering, has been
charged with aggravated assault.
Police are still investigating.

Crime statistics on
the rise in many
different areas
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —For the Durham
Regional Police Service, ‘up’ was
the key word for 2001.
“Calls for service were up,
crimes against persons were up,
crimes against property were up,”
Chief Kevin McAlpine told Durham
council last week.
“Robberies, which were on a
downturn, are up again. Assaults
against officers are up, which is
troubling. Crimes against properties
are up for the first time in five
years.”
Calls for service increased by 8.3
per cent to 154,819 in total last year.
The added calls were divided among
theft, disturbance calls, suspicious
persons, and fraud and auto theft.
“Auto theft continues to be trou-
bling in the fact we can put a man on
the moon but we can’t seem to make
a car that isn’t stealable by every kid
in the neighbourhood,” related the
chief.
In the west end of the region, two
initiatives aimed at gang-related or-
ganized crime were carried out last
year.
“The bad news is the majority of
charges are laid under the Young Of-
fenders Act and most are back out
on the street,” noted Chief
McAlpine.
The traffic division was busier as
well in 2001 with an increase in dan-
gerous driving offences, up from
177 to 233.
Traffic fatalities increased from
33 to 36.
However, one small bright spot in
the year was a reduction in impaired
driving charges, down from 824 in
2000 to 752 in 2001.
The department continues to tar-
get large hydroponics marijuana op-
erations inside luxury homes in sub-
divisions throughout Durham, said
the chief.
In an ongoing investigation, 25
indoor grow operations were closed
in the region in 2001. It’s estimated
those operations were capable of
producing more than $25 million in
street drugs.
“They are highly organized.
Highly sophisticated. This is way
beyond someone growing a couple
of plants for their own use,” Chief
McAlpine said.
“This thing is extremely danger-
ous. It draws more power than an
entire neighbourhood.”
Many of the houses are purchased
through fax and over the Internet
from Toronto and are never occu-
pied.
Instead, massive hydroponics
systems are installed and the opera-
tors break into
the under-
ground hydro
system to steal
electricity be-
fore it reaches
the meter.
Because of
the hands-off
nature of the
crimes, crimi-
nals are hard to
catch, said the
chief.
“In most
cases the per-
son we’re ar-
resting is
someone way
down on the
food chain of
organized
crime and is
just hired to
water the
plants,” he
said.
The police
chief suggests
there needs to
be stiffer
penalties for
this type of
crime. “The
profit margin is
just so huge
this problem
will not go
away,” he said.
“The bad
news is it’s
dangerous and
there are kids
living in these
neighbour-
hoods. We’re
putting the
onus on real es-
tate agents and
insurance
agents to really
pay attention to
who’s buying
these things.”

Lots of people ask me this
question. But is it really
necessary to check the tire
alignment in the spring, even if the car
has only gone through one winter? The
answer is a clear and definite “yes”.
Why? It’s simple: your tires have
withstood a lot of shocks during the cold
winter months and this can wreak havoc
with the alignment. Need proof? Chances
are you have already noticed that your
vehicle doesn’t drive as smoothly as it
used to, or that it tends to veer of to one
side or the other.
But sometimes these deteriorations can be
extremely minor or barely noticeable at
all. However, it is still worth having the
alignment checked, even in these
instances. After all, tires are very
expensive to replace. While well-
maintained tires that are regularly aligned
will last a very long time, poorly aligned
tires will add extra stress to both the tires
and other vehicle parts (not to mention
the driver).
This means making an appointment to
have your tires aligned each spring is not
an unnecessary expense, but rather a
smart investment in your vehicle. And
while your vehicle is in the shop, have the
steering checked. Even if your vehicle is
new, there may be some worn-out part
that should be replaced. Naturally, if the
technician recommends that you change
certain parts, that is exactly what you
should do.
Q: Should I align my tires in the spring?
A:

DURHAM ––The regional chair-
man should be elected by the people at
large instead of by regional council,
suggests one councillor who would like
the Province to make the necessary
changes before the November 2003
election.
But Regional Chairman Roger An-
derson believes the move could cause a
conflict between the council and its
chairman and could also force all but
the wealthiest candidates out of the race
for the job.
“I’ve always believed, even before I
was elected, the position of regional
chairman should be elected and I’ve
never changed my mind,” says Oshawa
Councillor John Gray, who ran for the
position against Chairman Anderson in
2000 but was defeated.
Coun. Gray says he hopes to get the
idea in front of area municipal councils
for debate “or even better to get some
public consultation.
“The Region’s budget is over $600
million and the chairman is actually a
very powerful person. He can move mo-
tions at committee, he has influence
over staff and he can mould and shape
the Region to his liking. Someone in
that position should be elected by all
people in the region.”
Chairman Anderson points out he
currently only votes to break ties and
when he moves motions at committee,
“the committee can say yes or no to
them.”
When Chairman Anderson was
voted into the position by council, peo-
ple from the community at large could
come before council to be appointed
chairman. That has since been amended
and only persons first elected to council
can be appointed chairman by a majori-
ty of their peers on council.
Neither Coun. Gray nor Chairman
Anderson prefer the current method be-
cause it forces a by-election or appoint-
ment to replace the regional councillor
who steps up to become chairman.
“Maybe the person who wants to
give up his or her seat on regional coun-
cil won’t be the appropriate person,”
notes Chairman Anderson. “Personally
I liked it when they (regional council)
could pick somebody from outside,” he
says. “What if some (rookie councillor)
who has never been on council before
with no experience becomes chairman;
that poses a problem,” he says.
But, Chairman Anderson adds, to
elect the chairman at large has potential
for even greater problems. “If you have
an elected chairman his or her message
is going to be different than that of
council. Today the chairman isn’t there
to have influence over council. He is
there to take forward the ideas of coun-
cil. If he or she was elected, he or she
would be there to ensure his or her ideas
get done. Right now you have a
spokesman for the Region.”
The other problem the chairman sees
is the cost and feasibility of running an
election across such a vast geographical
area. He points out there are five MPs
covering the area. Look at their cam-
paign expenses and multiply by five, he
suggests. He also believes a candidate
from a large urban area would have a
distinct advantage over a rural candidate
and would bring that urban perspective
with them.
Coun. Gray discards this theory, sug-
gesting voters are much more interested
in the issues and opinions of a candidate
than in their home address. “If the issues
are presented properly, they have an
equal chance to anybody else,” he says.
Coun. Gray must get the support of
the majority of regional councillors in
order to request the Province amend the
Region of Durham Act to allow the
chairman to be elected at large. If he is
successful, the change could be in effect
for the next municipal election in No-
vember 2003.

DURHAM —Local students, par-
ents and educators have given Durham
Catholic schools a three-out-of-four,
or a good rating, in a provincially-
mandated facilities survey.
As part of the Education Ministry’s
Pupil Accommodation Accountability
Framework, the Province last year
began requiring education stakehold-
ers to fill out a survey rating their
school. The categories are cleanliness,
condition, comfort, access and the
level of teamwork between school
groups to ensure a safe, clean and
comfortable environment.
The board’s overall rating this year
is 3.04. The Province describes a three
rating as a “high evaluation, suggest-
ing component being measured ex-
ceeds acceptable standards.” Last year
the board’s overall rating was 2.97.
“Both years the results are very,
very positive,” said superintendent of
business David Visser. “I think that we
have to keep in mind that...there’s a
great deal of teamwork that has to take
place.”
School councils and teachers were
the hardest markers, this year giving
facilities a 2.87 and 2.92 overall rating.
Students graded schools at 3.18, while
principals bestowed a 3.09 rating and
non-teaching staff a 3.05.
The highest overall rating, a 3.9,
went to Whitby’s new high school,All
Saint’s Catholic Secondary School.
Teachers and the school principal gave
the facility a perfect four-out-of-four
rating. Also scoring high overall marks
were Father Leo J. Austin Catholic
Secondary School in Whitby, Picker-
ing’s Holy Redeemer Catholic School
and St. Patrick Catholic School in
Ajax. Each school was rated a 3.6.
The lowest overall rating, a 1.8,
went to St. Joseph Catholic School in
Oshawa, followed by St. John the
Evangelist Catholic School (2.3) in
Whitby. Two schools, St. Bernadette
Catholic School in Ajax and Oshawa’s
St. Gregory Catholic School, were
rated a 2.4.
In only one area of one category,
overall comfort, did board schools rate
lower than the 2000/2001 provincial
numbers. Two per cent of the time the
rating was “unacceptable,” compared
to a provincial average of 0.1.

In response,
Mr. DiRuscio
said he couldn’t
speak for the
Province.
“So prices are
expected to
rise?” asked
Ward 1 City
Councillor Dave
Ryan. “That’s the

by the govern-
ment. Councillor
Brenner is right,
it’s like a shell

Mr. DiRuscio

stead of the ag-

ing campaign

they will be sell-
ing their service
through a mail-
ing campaign
and a series of
upcoming open
houses through-
out the commu-
nity. Mayor
Wayne Arthurs
applauded the
move.
“I think that
strategy is a very
good move,” he
said. “It gives the
real option of re-
viewing the ma-
terial to con-
sumers... there’s
no pressure, they
can sit and make

sion.”
Further debate
drove council
down several

ing its shares in

PICKERING —A public
information meeting concern-
ing an application to demolish
the Metro East Trade Centre,
home of The Pickering Markets,
Canada’s largest flea and an-
tique market, and replace it with
commercial and retail develop-
ment will be held tomorrow
(Thursday).
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Mark Holland will chair the
Feb. 21 meeting at 7 p.m. in
council chambers at the Picker-
ing Civic Complex, One The
Esplanade.
Planning staff and the appli-
cant will be on hand explaining
the application and to answer
questions from the public.
Pickering seeks input
on community access
licitor telling council it cannot
require a larger circulation ra-
dius for development applica-
tions as it would be in conflict
with stipulations in the Plan-
ning Act. Several residents
stood up in opposition to the so-
licitor’s advice, saying the act
only sets out minimums for cir-
culation, not limits, and most of
council seemed to agree.
“It seems preposterous that
one could say we’re not al-
lowed to notify people,” said
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Mark Holland.
“Nothing denies us the abili-
ty to aspire above minimum
standards,” added Ward 1 Re-
gional Councillor Maurice
Brenner.
David Steele, president of
Pickering Ajax Citizens Togeth-
er for the Environment (PACT)
addressed council saying he
and other community members
might want more time to review
the report.
“There are some good parts
and there are some very bad
parts in the report,” said Mr.
Steele. “Now that we have it, let
us look at it and get back to you
with our comments.”
But, councillors did him one
better by directing staff to hold
discussions with community
and citizens’ groups including
PACT, and consider their sug-
gestions before reporting back
to the committee April 8.
“This is a good report as a
basis,” said Mayor Wayne
Arthurs. “Sending it back out to
the community to enhance it is
a great idea.”

A politician cannot become
premier these days without being
willing to debate opponents on TV
and Ernie Eves has accepted this,
grudgingly.
The former deputy premier,
front-runner in the race to succeed
Premier Mike Harris, had tried to
avoid appearing in a televised de-
bate on CTV with other candi-
dates on Feb 27.
The candidates have appeared
in debates organized by the Pro-
gressive Conservative party on
cable TV, which many cannot see.
The upcoming debate on CTV
will have journalists asking ques-
tions from a public, rather than
Tory, perspective and virtually all
residents will be able to tune in.
Mr. Eves refused and offered
lame excuses. He first said he had
a conflicting engagement and later
said journalists from only one net-
work questioning candidates
would not represent a wide
enough range of views.
But it is more likely he felt he
could continue more comfortably
as front-runner if he did not attend
more forums where he could be
compared to other candidates and
asked to describe his policies,
which are few, and why he quit the
legislature a year ago.
Rivals claimed Mr. Eves was
afraid to debate and Health Minis-
ter Tony Clement suggested Mr.
Eves, who is noted for his immac-
ulate dress, would claim next he
had to stay home and do his laun-
dry, while Finance Minister Jim
Flaherty called his excuses red
herrings.
Mr. Eves has eventually agreed
to join the debate after CTV point-
ed out it had no objection to other
networks joining in and providing
panellists who would add to the
diversity of viewpoints.
Mr. Eves had followed a long
line of front-runners or incum-
bents who have tried, and some-
times got away with, avoiding
sharing platforms with those run-
ning against them.
New Democratic Party leader
Howard Hampton, a competent
speaker who would almost have to
run off with someone else’s wife
to get space in the Toronto media,
challenges Mr. Harris once a
month to debate him on some spe-
cific issue, the latest being rising
energy prices, but the premier ig-
nores him.
Mr. Harris recently challenged
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chre-
tien to debate health-care costs on
TV, but Mr. Chretien turned down
the uppity provincial leader and
suggested he debate one of his un-
derling ministers. Mr. Chretien
can always draw his own crowd.
But times have changed since a
premier could dodge a TV debate
in an election campaign and get
away with it, as Tory William
Davis did in 1981.
Mr. Davis was a master of
many things, but not words, and
struggled in TV debates. In 1975
he wanted to avoid a discussion in
which he would appear with both
opposition party leaders, Liberal
Robert Nixon and New Democrat
Stephen Lewis, a noted orator.
So when his opponents asked
for a debate, Mr. Davis replied he
already had accepted a format pro-
posed by TV station CFTO, then
run by Tory John Bassett, in which
he would face each opposition
leader in separate debates, which
he felt he could handle easier, and
could not go back on his word.
Mr. Davis got his format and
debated each opponent separately,
but still lost his majority and fared
no better when he was shamed
into debating the other two leaders
on the same stage in 1977.
By 1981 Mr. Davis had no ap-
petite for a debate at all, but was
saved again by the obliging Mr.
Bassett. Mr. Davis announced he
would happily participate in a TV
debate providing all networks pro-
duced it jointly, which seemed
reasonable until Mr. Bassett’s sta-
tion refused to co-produce with
rival Global TV.
The station dug in its heels and
Mr. Davis soon discovered his
election schedule had become full
up and it was too late to arrange a
debate anyway. None was held
and Mr. Davis regained his major-
ity.
Mr. Davis’s successor as pre-
mier, Frank Miller, tried to do the
same in 1985. He refused a TV de-
bate on the grounds talking in a
studio would be artificial and ster-
ile. When opponents suggested
having one before a live audience,
he replied he had made his deci-
sion and was sticking to it.
Mr. Miller predicted the con-
cern at his refusal to debate on TV
would quickly disappear, but this
time it became a central issue and
one reason he lost the Tories’ ma-
jority and was quickly out of gov-
ernment.
Voters also now take it for
granted that candidates for pre-
mier will fight it out on TV and
would regard any who refused as
afraid of being compared and Mr.
Eves could not afford to stay out.
TV turn part of running for office
Yet long line of would-be premiers have tried to avoid it at all costs
If we elect our mayors, our members of provincial and fed-
eral parliament, our local and regional councillors, and our
school board trustees, why do we not elect our regional chair-
man?
If you’re looking for a logical explanation for this democ-
ratic anomaly, listen to what Durham Region Chairman Roger
Anderson and Oshawa Regional Councillor John Gray have to
say.
Chairman Anderson: “If you have an elected chairman, his
or her message is going to be different from that of council.
He is there to take forward the ideas of council. If he or she
was elected, he or she would be there to ensure his or her ideas
get done. Right now you have a spokesman for the region.”
Coun. Gray: “ The Region’s budget is over $600 million
and the chairman is actually a very powerful person. He can
move motions at committee, he has influence over stuff and he
can mould and shape the Region to his liking. Someone in that
position should be elected by all people in the region.”
Both politicians make good points for their view. Ulti-
mately however, Mr. Anderson misses a vital issue. In a sys-
tem where an incredible amount of public money is at the dis-
cretion of elected officials, the person at the top must be re-
sponsible and accountable to those who pay the bills. And
those who pay are not the small band of regional councillors
who, in their little club, elect the chairman every three years.
One key problem with the current system, which requires
the chairman come from the ranks of elected councillors or
the incumbent, is the chairman owes his job to those council-
lors who vote for him. What kind of position is the chairman
in after the election? Does he owe any favours to the council-
lors who backed him? Is he more likely to back an issue raised
by a supporter on council against the interests of a councillor
who voted against him?
Such questions bring up problems raised by the current
system. An elected regional chairman is answerable only to
the electorate and must work for the best interests of all
Durham residents.
The issue of a region-wide campaign — Mr. Anderson
worries about the costs of such an election and the type of can-
didates who would run for office — is a red herring. After all,
the regions of Hamilton-Wentworth and Waterloo elect their
regional chairmen.
Any individual eligible to run in any election should be
able to take a crack at the regional chairman’s post. The best
candidates will rise to the top, as they usually do, and the peo-
ple, in a fair and free election, will pick the person they feel is
best. That person may even be Mr. Anderson.
It’s time for democracy to speak loud and clear at the Re-
gion. Let’s have the Province amend the Region of Durham
Act in time for the next election in November 2003.

Skating offers
all the credibility
of wrestling
To the editor:
So let me see if I have this
straight.
Doping for performance en-
hancement by Olympic athletes is
illegal according to International
Olympic Committee (IOC) rules
because it gives an unfair advan-
tage. But the alleged vote tamper-
ing by International Skating Union
(ISU) member judges to skew the
playing field is not.
I do not have a problem with
Jamie Sale and David Pelletier gar-
nering a silver medal if it was
achieved on a level playing field.
However, this was not the case. The
back-room politics of the ISU
smacks of everything that is ugly
about the Olympics. The ISU inves-
tigating itself over this blunder is
tantamount to Colonel Saunders
minding your chickens.
The preordained outcome of the
pairs skating competition at the
hands of judges from Communist
and former Communist bloc coun-
tries as well as from France was
about as subtle as the manipulated
conclusion of a World Wrestling
Federation match.
Come to think of it, perhaps
Vince McMahon could replace
Jacques Rogge as IOC president
and Hulk Hogan could replace Ot-
tavio Cinquanta as ISU president.
At least I would not have high ex-
pectations.

Monarchy
pertinent part
of our heritage
To the editor:
Re: ‘God save the Queen and all
she represents,’ Tim Kelly column,
Feb. 10.
At last, someone nearly got the
point.
I say nearly because, in my
opinion, the writer stopped short
of explaining to us as Canadians,
like it or not, the monarchy is part
of our heritage. It is part of what
we, as Canadians, have been seek-
ing for so long — our identity.
Each time some group or an-
other wants to do away with or
change something pertinent to our
land, it wants to erase part of our
heritage, part of our identity.
I believe someone once said,
“ignore history at your peril.”
If we want to ‘find’ourselves, it
will be very hard if we keep
changing what is part of our coun-
try’s history, and how we came to
where we are today.
Let us not erase our roots. Let
us not bury them under the appear-
ance of being up-to-date.
We, as a country, are only
‘teenagers’ in the geo-political
scheme of things. Even teenagers,
whilst rebellious at times, mostly
grow up to love and respect their
parents.
Perhaps another point to be
considered before ‘dumping’ the
monarchy would be to think about
those nations that have gotten rid
of their royal families and how
they are now. Are they any better
off?
Chances are those countries are
not and their ‘replacements’ are
even more expensive to keep. In
addition, they generate no income
whatsoever for the tourist industry
and in some cases are even harder
to get rid of, as history has shown.

Ajax’s first grocery store
In the early days of Ajax, grocery shopping was a prob-
lem. If you were lucky enough to own a car (which very
few did), you could do your shopping at the A and P in
Whitby or the Red and White Store in Pickering Village.
For those without transportation, the problem was
solved by a red box nailed on a tree at a corner. Grocery
lists were put in the box in the morning, picked up by the
driver of the Red and White Store and groceries were
delivered in the afternoon. In May of 1943, a citizens’
committee was successful in getting a grocery store
opened in Ajax. The Ajax Marketeria opened in a large
frame building built by Central Mortgage and Housing
Corporation after successful negotiations with Wartime
Housing and Ross Murrison, owner of the Red and
White Store. The building was located on the west side
of Harwood Avenue between Mary and Brock streets.

trade centre and residential uses; and adding a new Special Purpose Commercial
designation and related policies to the “Mixed Use Areas” section. A change to the
Zoning By-law for the METC property is required to implement the proposed changes. A
related amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan (File: OPA 01-008/D) is also
being processed.
A STATUTORY PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING regarding the proposed
official plan amendment and zoning by-law amendment will be held on February 21,

Amberlea community rolling right along with ‘carts of hope’
When Pickering officially
launched its ‘rolling to reduce’
pilot cart system for 518 homes
in the Amberlea community,
Susan Antler, executive director
of the Composting Council of
Canada (CCC), called them
‘carts of hope’.
The green cart that collects
both kitchen food scraps and
yard trimmings certainly lives
up to that reputation as more
than 60 tonnes of organic mate-
rials have been composted since
the program began in early No-
vember.
Last Tuesday, I toured the
Miller Waste composting facili-
ty in York Region, where the
Amberlea organics are
processed, and arrived when the
vehicle dumped the week’s col-
lection.
Two medium-sized piles (vi-
sualize each being the size of a
small sofa) weighed approxi-
mately two tonnes. The piles
consisted mostly of kitchen
food scraps with some newspa-
per or paper bags that wrap
food and bones, cooled wood
ashes, paper towels and facial
tissues, pet bedding, flowers,
paper pulp egg cartons, wood
shavings and yard brush.
Only two contaminants were
spotted — one plastic bag and
an elastic band — so ‘R’ Am-
berlea residents are doing a
great job. Several people in the
pilot program have said they
didn’t think they would want to
separate food from garbage, but
once they got into the habit
found it no trouble at all.
Shortly after the load ar-
rived, it was mixed and covered
with wood chips to deter seag-
ulls. The pile then made its way
to one of the many long
windrows on Miller’s large site.
Over time it will cure and be ei-
ther used for mulch, spread on
agricultural lands, bagged for
nurseries, or go through a finer
screening process for golf
courses.
In a closed-in area on the
site, a large machine separates
plastic from compost. It is
hoped the plastic bits, which are
now being stored, will be added
to a mix to make plastic prod-
ucts such as fence posts, etc.
Since many municipalities now
use large paper bags to collect
leaves, the plastics problem is
being reduced.
Miller stated in one of its re-
ports that due to increasing en-
vironmental awareness over the
past decade, there has been con-
cern over the use of chemical
fertilizers, pesticides, herbi-
cides and fungicides. It has
been shown many of these com-
pounds can have a detrimental
effect on the natural environ-
ment, on the food chain and on
human health. The benefits of
using organic compost on lands
are numerous and encompass a
more environmentally sustain-
able approach.
It is time to stop referring to
organics as food and yard waste
— organics are a resource.
Compost is black gold and the
green carts ‘R’ carts of hope.
Until a composting system is
implemented region-wide, cre-
ate your own black gold by
composting kitchen food and
leaves. Backyard composters
are still available at the City of
Pickering and the Town of
Ajax. To learn more about the
CCC, visit www.compost.org.

rolling to reduce’project, which
may end March 31, visit the
City’s Web site at www.cityof-
pickering.com.

Scotia.

Panthers, Rattlers
in winner-take-all
contest tomorrow
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —It’s one game —
do or die — for the Pickering Boyer
Pontiac Panthers.
Facing Thornhill in their first-
round playoff series, the Panthers and
Rattlers hook up for a seventh and
deciding game in the OHA Ontario
Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League
South Conference series tomorrow
(Thursday) night. Surprisingly, the
contest will be played on neutral ice
at Toronto’s Beatrice Ice Gardens at
York University (Keele Street and
Steeles Avenue) at 7:30 p.m., owing
to a lack of ice time at the Rattlers’
home rink, the Thornhill Community
Centre.
The Pickering juniors staved off
elimination in the series by posting a
gritty 3-2 victory in Game 6 at the
Pickering Recreation Complex Sun-
day night. The Panthers opened the
weekend on a sour note, losing Game
5 4-2 in Thornhill Saturday night.
Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell
said he was in awe of the intensity
demonstrated by his players in Sun-
day’s contest.
“What an effort these kids gave,”
enthused Purcell, who has been on
the bench in the series despite suffer-
ing from the flu. “They had their
backs against the wall and they an-
swered the bell.”
The same type of intensity, how-
ever, will be needed to pull out the
series victory.
“We’re going to have to play the
game of our lives. We’ve been bat-
tling in every game. We haven’t
been blown out by anybody all sea-
son. (Thornhill) thought it would be
easy, but it hasn’t been. They have
taken some lumps (in the series),”
he said.
Sunday’s game had all the mak-
ings of a classic, but descended into
chaos with three seconds to go. A
fight broke out on the ice soon after
a faceoff in the neutral zone and
soon spilled over into the stands
with Durham Regional Police called
to quell the ugly situation.
The fallout had Thornhill’s Mike
Angelitis, Kyle Prodonovic and
Peter Kodba assessed fighting ma-
jors, game misconducts and a sec-
ond game misconduct. Three Pan-
thers, Brent Chandler, Ryan Taylor,
Kyle Aitken, were assessed similar-
ly. As well, Pickering’s Mitch Hugli
and Thornhill’s Jerimiah Gonzalves
were each given fight majors and a
game misconduct, with Gonzalves
also earning an instigator penalty.
Earlier in the period, Thornhill’s
Clay Costoff was assessed a fighting
major, a game misconduct and a sec-
ond game misconduct.
All seven players receiving sec-
ond game misconducts could be lost
for Game 7, but will likely be
bought back by their respective
teams for $100 per player, under
Ontario Hockey Association rules.
Pickering head coach Bill Purcell
said he’s angered by the fact three of
his players were assessed an extra
game misconduct, despite the fact
Thornhill’s Gonzalves was whistled
for the instigator penalty. Purcell
charged Thornhill head coach Louis
Carnevale with changing his for-
ward line in the last second, which
led to the last-second brawl.
“Why make a line change with
three seconds to go and why start a
fight? At the drop of the puck our
guys were jumped,” maintained Pur-
cell. “We’re going to be fined by the
league, and they started it.”
Sunday’s pivotal contest got off
to a rocky start for the Panthers after
they were assessed a warm-up viola-
tion penalty before the start of the
game. In the ensuing Thornhill power
play, Neil Johnson scored an unas-
sisted marker to give Thornhill the
early lead.
The Panthers bounced back to
score three times in the second peri-

Panthers’bantam selects
go undefeated at tourney
PICKERING —The Pickering
Panthers minor bantam select hockey
team went undefeated to take top hon-
ours at the recent Richmond Hill Tour-
nament.
Buoyed by determination and team-
work, the Panthers outhustled the
Whitby Wildcats for a 3-2 victory in
the championship game. Pickering
jumped out to an early lead on goals by
Justin Papizewski and Brad Downton.
Netting the game winner was Justin
Bruce. Ryan Lindsay recorded two as-
sists, while Taylor Gray, Chris Rotolo
and Andrew Paradis had one apiece.
The Panthers needed a late-game
marker and one in the opening two
minutes of overtime to subdue host
Richmond Hill 2-1 in the semifinal
game. Gray was the hero for Pickering,
first tying the contest with less than a
minute remaining in regulation time
and later netting the game winner with
barely 90 seconds gone in overtime.
Leland Street, Andrew Goldsmith, Pa-
pizewski, Rotolo, Downton and Bruce
added assists.
In preliminary-round play, the Pan-
thers opened the tourney with a 2-2 tie
against the Aurora Tigers. Paradis and
Gray scored, assisted by Downton with
two, and Gray with a single.
In game 2 against Thornhill, Picker-
ing prevailed 2-1. Matthew Evans and
Gray scored for the Panthers, assisted
by Derek Westlake, Bruce and Down-
ton.
The bantam Panthers clawed out a
2-1 victory over Vaughan to remain un-
defeated in the preliminary round.
Kyle Fredericks and Gray scored, with
assists to Derek Savoie, Evans, Street
and Goldsmith.
Goaltenders Matt McMulkin and
Mike Johnson were solid throughout
the tourney.
Also contributing to the success of
the team were Andrew Dowdell,
Daniel Thrift, Michael Lafferton and
Joey Paul.
Bob Bruce, Walter Papizewski,
Steve Gray and Herb Goldsmith coach
the team. The manager is Lance Lind-
say.

Pickering nips Wildcats to win Richmond HillPanthers
force playoff
series to a
game seven
od, with Dan Schofield tying the
score just 49 seconds into the
frame. Chandler scored the next
two markers, including the game
winner one second remaining.
Schofield, Sean Bradley and Tay-
lor drew assists.
While the Panthers were en-
joying a seven-minute power play
late in the third period, Thorn-
hill’s Chris Thaler scored an
unassisted short-handed marker
at the 4:36 mark to pull the Rat-
tlers back to within one. The Rat-
tlers were denied the equalizer
thanks to several fine saves by
Scott Gray, who made 26 saves
for the win.
In Saturday’s game, the Rat-
tlers opened the scoring in the
first period. The second period
was all Thornhill as they scored
three times to open a 4-1 lead
after 40 minutes. Alex Greig
scored the lone goal of the third,
potting a power-play marker from
Mike Hanna and Schofield.
Colin Jennings scored a sec-
ond-period marker for the Pan-
thers, assisted by Alex Pavloski
and Mike Alexiou.

Panthers tame Wild West
Injuries, hectic schedule
can’t stop Pickering bantams
at Vancouver Island tourney
PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers
major bantam ‘AA’ rep hockey team overcame
distance and injuries to post a tournament vic-
tory during a recent 12-day tour of Canada’s
west coast.
After two years of bottle drives, euchre
nights, golf tournaments and bingos, the ban-
tams enjoyed the fruits of their labour with a
once-in-a-lifetime trip to Vancouver and Victo-
ria, which included an appearance at the 25th
annual Alberni Valley Minor Hockey Associa-
tion Bantam Tournament.
Dealing with injuries that left the club short-
handed for the entire tournament, the Panthers
were undeterred and determined while suiting
up against top-quality competition from west-
ern Canada and the U.S.
In the championship game, the Panthers met
a strong team from Parksville, B.C. — a squad
that defeated Pickering earlier in the tourna-
ment.
This time, game most valuable player and
defensive specialist Chris Thorpe shut down
Parksville’s top player, thus opening up room
for Pickering’s snipers. The Panthers captured
the final with a solid 6-0 victory.
Special awards were handed out to Picker-
ing’s David Demarinas as the top goaltender in
the tournament; Troy Giasson for top defence-
man and Kyric Aitken for tournament MVP.
Pickering posted a solid 5-2 victory over a
team from Portland, Oregon in the semifinals.
The Panthers dressed only nine players due to
injuries.
Pickering played host Port Alberni in the
tourney opener, winning 6-1.
In the second game, Pickering lost 5-2 to
Parksville in a contest where both Pickering
netminders were injured, forcing the team to
dress forward Patrick Mundy. Mundy acquitted
himself well, despite limited experience. His
teammates, however, were stoned by the
Parksville goalie, despite outshooting
Parksville by a two-to-one ratio.
Pickering snapped out of its scoring slump in
Game 3 by hammering a team from Seattle,
Washington 15-1.
In their final round-robin match, the Pan-
thers dropped a 4-1 contest to Portland, finish-
ing round-robin play with a 2-2 mark, which
was enough to advance to the semifinals.
In the course of their trip, the team went to a
Vancouver Canucks game at GM Place, seeing
the team named up on the big screen during the
game. The players also enjoyed a three-day ski-
ing trip to Whistler.
The team’s staff and players acknowledge
the contributions and support of their friends,
family and the community.
Other team members are Kevin Cryan, Ryan
Daniels, Mike Krasnowski, Matt McCann,
Chris Pasternack, Mike Rocca, Rob Selig, Tay-
lor Sleeth, Michael Thomas and Matt Thrift.
Pat Daniels coaches the team, assisted by
Dave Pasternack. The trainer is Mark Thomas
and the manager is John Mundy.
The Pickering Panthers major bantam ‘AA’ players and staff celebrate the team’s champi-
onship victory at a tournament in Port Alberni, B.C. The Pickering contingent enjoyed a 12-
day stay on Canada’s west coast, complete with sightseeing in Vancouver and on Vancouver
Island, skiing at Whistler and a Vancouver Canucks NHL hockey game, to name a few of the
activities. The tour capped off two years of fund-raising by the players.

SCOREBOARD
Doyle’s Bonnie of a goal
leads selects to 6-5 win
over Ajax Knights
PICKERING —The Pickering
Panthers minor peewee select hockey
team ended its regular season on an
eight-game undefeated streak.
The season ended with an edge-of-
your seat game against Ajax with
Pickering winning 6-5 to give the
peewees an incredible 7-0-1 record in
their last eight.
The Panthers and Knights engaged
in a see-saw battle throughout the
contest. Pickering came out strong
with a goal by Brendan Doyle 30 sec-
onds into the first period, assisted by
Andrew Brien and Miles Ashmore.
Ajax tied it at 1-1, but Pickering went
ahead with six seconds left in the first
on an unassisted goal by Mark
Hoyne.
Ajax knotted the score early in the
second period but again Pickering
fought back as Jason Dwyer scored
on a power play, assisted by Bryan
Kirow and Brad Spiers.
Just over a minute later Ajax once
again tied it up, but not for long as
Spiers scored, assisted by Brian
Smith and Kirow with four seconds
left in the frame.
The Knights tied the game 4-4
early in the third and then 20 seconds
later got the go-ahead goal.
Pickering rallied back with Mark
Jovanov tying it up with less than two
minutes remaining in the period, as-
sisted by Spiers.
Then, with just over a minute left
in the game, Doyle scored the win-
ning goal, assisted by Jordan Bonnie.
The Panthers received solid goal-
tending throughout the undefeated
string from Jeff Love and Daniel
Thorpe.
Other minor peewee team mem-
bers are Adam Burke, Michael Deg-
root, Derek Filer, Michael Scott,
Adam Wilkinson and affiliated player
Steve Moses.
Steven Spiers, Greg Scott and Bob
Thorpe coach the team. The trainer is
Larry Brien.

Shelley Kenney, Lesley
Scott beat out other
hopefuls for dance spots
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Shelley Kenney
and Lesley Scott have always been a
team, on and off the dance floor.
The latest accomplishment for the
Durham Dance Centre pupils was
landing a professional dance job this
summer at Canada’s Wonderland.
Even though they didn’t audition to-
gether as a team, the 17-year-old girls
were chosen from 50 other hopefuls
Jan. 26.
“We were so excited,” Lesley, a
Pine Ridge Secondary School student,
said about learning they were success-
ful at the audition. “It was definitely
very shocking.”
“It was our first real audition,”
added Dunbarton High School student
Shelley. “It was a different atmos-
phere.”
The audition lasted for four straight
hours, but the two were prepared. They
practise at the Durham Dance Centre
six times a week, sometimes from 6:30
to 10:30 p.m. Despite the long hours,
they agree their passion for the art
never grows weary.
The best friends have been dancing
together as a duet since the age of 13,
winning many awards together along
the way. The girls’most recent accom-
plishment was coming fourth from
among 256 entries at last summer’s
Rising Star Talent Competition at the
CNE (Canadian National Exhibition).
They are currently in the musical show
‘Bollywood or Bust’ at the Ford Cen-
tre, and this summer, apart from danc-
ing at Wonderland, will be heading to
Spain to perform in the Euro Interna-
tionals in July.
Over the years, the girls have
helped each other with their dancing
styles.
“(Our technique) is sort of similar
in some ways,” Shelley said. “We work
well together. We can give each other
positive criticism.”
However, they both admit there’s
still a lot of work to be done to achieve
what they want. “You can always im-
prove,” Lesley said. “You’re always
looking to get better.”
The two plan on continuing their
dance studies at Ryerson Polytechnic
University, where their current dance
teacher, Tammy Roberts, attended.
Roberts is a figure both girls look up
to.
“She always pushes us to our ulti-
mate limit,” Lesley said. “She makes
us work hard all the time. She’s made
us the dancers we are today.”
Teaching is also something this duet
would one day like to do, but not be-
fore finishing Ryerson and then mov-
ing to Los Angeles to dance there.
Tap and jazz are their favourite
styles, but they also know ballet,
pointe, hip-hop, and musical theatre.
Though they aren’t exactly sure what
kind of dancing or what shows they
will be doing at Wonderland, they ex-
pect to find out this month. They start
in May.
“I just think it’s going to be a total-
ly different show,” said Shelley.
“It’ll be a good experience for us,”
added Lesley, noting they’ve never had
the opportunity to be part of such a
professional company.
