Pickering crash
sends three to hospital,
police seek witnesses
PICKERING - Police are
seeking witnesses to a collision
that sent a Pickering couple and
their five-year-old child to hospi-
tal last weekend.
Durham Regional Police
said the collision occurred Sun-
day at 3 p.m. when a van driven
by a 36-year-old Pickering man
pulled out of a motel parking lot
at 533 Kingston Rd. and was
struck by an eastbound car dri-
ven by a 20-year-old man, also
of Pickering.
Durham Regional Police say
the van’s driver was ejected and
trapped under the vehicle. He
was rushed to the Rouge Valley
Health System’s Centenary site,
where his condition has stabi-
lized, police said.
His 31-year-old wife and
five-year-old daughter were
treated for minor injuries and re-
leased, as was the driver of the
car, police said.
Both vehicles were demol-
ished.
Witnesses are asked to call
Constable Brian Pallister at the
Ajax-Pickering Community Po-
lice Office at 1-888-579-1520,

New legislation will hit bikers: Flaherty
‘Clubhouses, crack houses, anything’ will be exposed to seizure under new law
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
The Ontario government
wants to hit outlaw biker
gangs where it hurts the most
— in the wallet.
Attorney General and
Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Fla-
herty said his recently intro-
duced Bill 155, the ‘Remedies
for Organized Crime and
Other Unlawful Activities
Act’, will allow police to con-
fiscate the proceeds of crime.
“We’re saying organized
crime is a business, a business
motivated by profits. To lose a
foot soldier or two is not a
problem,” Mr. Flaherty said.
“(The bill) will make Ontario
an undesirable place. It will
create uncertainty and appre-
hension. The police need all
the tools they can to get after
these groups, who are busi-
ness groups.”
Bill 155 has received first
reading and is going to a leg-
islative committee for public
hearings, which Mr. Flaherty
expects to start in late January
or early February.
The legislation is the first
of its kind in Canada and will
allow police to seize the prop-
erty of people suspected of
being criminals even if they
have not been convicted,
noted Avery Smith, communi-
cations spokesman for Mr.
Flaherty.
“In Ontario, we’re leading
Canada with Bill 155,” Mr.
Flaherty said.
Late last month, 168 mem-

PICKERING — Funeral
services are being held today for
a “real family man” who loved
the outdoors and dedicated his
life to serving the community as
a longtime member of the Pick-
ering Fire Service.
Rick Pearsall, Pickering’s
fire chief since 1993, died sud-
denly Friday after suffering a
heart attack at a local barber
shop. He was 54.
“He was always worried
about us... he always worried
about the guys,” said Mark
Diotte, a training officer with
the Pickering Fire Service and
Mr. Pearsall’s nephew.
“As an uncle he was fantas-
tic. He was my mentor and
friend.”
Mr. Diotte will deliver the
eulogy at today’s (Wednesday)
funeral.
Mr. Pearsall served his com-
munity for more than 30 years
with the Pickering Fire Service,
Mayor Wayne Arthurs said dur-
ing Monday’s Pickering execu-
tive committee meeting, noting
the fire service is a profession
that requires you to be on call 24
hours a day, seven days a week,
365 days a year.
“That’s the type of service
we had from Rick for many
years,” Mayor Arthurs said.
“Rick will be sadly missed.”
Mr. Pearsall began his career
with the service as a part-time
firefighter in 1967. He became a
full-time firefighter in 1970 and
worked his way up through the
ranks serving as captain, train-
ing officer and deputy chief be-
fore being named Pickering’s
third fire chief in 1993.
Mr. Quinn, a longtime friend
of Mr. Pearsall, said news of the
death has been difficult for City
staff.
“We’re still a small family,”
he said. “It’s very hard for
staff... it was a very difficult day
(Monday).”
Mr. Quinn reported he will
make a recommendation to
council in the coming months
regarding the appointment of a
new chief. In the interim,
Deputy Chief Bill Douglas is
serving as the acting fire chief.
“He was a great guy, he was
a real family man,” Mr. Quinn
said of Mr. Pearsall, who loved
the outdoors and enjoyed spend-
ing time with his wife Rita and
daughter Patricia at their cottage
near Bancroft. “He was a good
guy and he’s really going to be
missed. I lost a good friend.”
Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wil-
son, who worked closely with
Mr. Pearsall over the years, says
“He always struck me as special
because of his thoughtfulness
and concern for other people’s
well-being.”
“He was extremely dedicat-
ed. He had this warm spot in his
heart for the people in the fire
service. He was always a happy,
jolly guy... he was really caring
about how people were doing.”
The funeral service is at St.
Paul’s on-the-Hill Anglican
Church at 11 a.m.
Family and friends are asked
to make a donation to the chari-
ty of their choice in Mr.
Pearsall’s memory.
Board prepares for 11,000 new students
Twenty-year strategic plan unveiled by Durham’s Catholic trustees
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
Durham Catholic school
trustees are set to approve a 20-
year capital strategic plan, a
document that will link finan-
cial and school construction
planning to meet the board’s
student place needs over the
next two decades.
Cynthia Clarke, associate
director of planning economists
C.N. Watson and Associates
Ltd., said the plan will give the
board a “beacon” to steer to-
wards, and put it in a new
league in the planning arena.
School boards have long
been considered ‘junior part-
ners’ in planning compared to
regions and municipalities, she
told Durham Catholic District
School Board trustees at Mon-
day’s board meeting.
“Municipalities and the Re-
gion for a long time have done
long-term planning,” she said.
“This will give you a great deal
more strength in inputting with
the Region and municipalities
in that regard.”
Ms. Clarke estimates the
board will have to spend
$246.12 million to meet its ac-
commodation needs over the
course of the plan, which will
be reviewed every five years.
That money will be required to
pay for roughly 9,400 elemen-
tary and 2,200 secondary pupil
places.
While the plan recognizes
the need for temporary accom-
modation, portables and relo-
catable classroom modules to
meet peak enrolment needs,
virtually all of the money will
be spent on permanent “bricks
and mortar” space. The forecast
is for 22 new elementary
schools, 14 additions to exist-
ing ones, four new high schools
and five secondary school addi-
tions.
And as this new construc-
tion takes place, the board will
dramatically reduce its need for
portables and port-a-pacs,
presently heavily relied upon
due to overcrowded schools.
The number of portables and
port-a-pacs are to drop from
146 to 88 at the elementary
level and 127 to 25 at the high
school level.
Education director Grant
Andrews told trustees they are
to look at the plan as having
started in 1998, since projects
such as the additions to the
board’s five high schools, and
new elementary schools like St.
Luke the Evangelist in Whitby,
marked the beginning of the
building boom.
He advised trustees the 20-
City library set to open another chapter
PICKERING —Although
community members will
soon be checking books out of
the new Petticoat Creek li-
brary branch, they’ll have to
wait a little longer to use the
adjoining community centre.
The library is slated to
open in early March, reports
Tom Quinn, chief administra-
tive officer for the City of
Pickering. But it could be a
little longer until the commu-
nity centre is ready, he said.
The library had originally
been slated to open at the end
of January but that date was
pushed back a month this past
fall.
“We’re about four weeks
behind because of a concrete
strike and problems getting
steel,” Mr. Quinn reported,
noting “our emphasis is on the
library because of the Rouge
Hill branch being closed.”
That branch, which was
supposed to remain open until
the new branch is ready, was
closed unexpectedly in early
December due to a leak in the
GRANT ANDREWS
Document ‘a guideline.’

BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
Pickering, Ajax and Whitby will be
the focus of Catholic school board con-
struction over the next three years if
trustees approve a capital strategic plan
outlined Monday.
Durham Catholic District School
Board trustees are expected to approve
the plan, setting out roughly 20 years of
new construction planning at their Jan.
22 board meeting.
The plan will allocate ‘Provincial
Pupil Accommodation Grant’ funds,
strategize on where schools and addi-
tions are needed, and forecast how
much money the board will need and
receive each year to meet its goals.
The first phase of building in the
plan covers 2001 to 2004 and, pending
trustee approval, calls for:
• A six-classroom addition to St.
Isaac Jogues Catholic Elementary
School in Pickering, creating 147 new
pupil places, to be
built in
2001/2002;
• A 10-class-
room addition to
Pickering’s St.
Elizabeth Seton
Catholic Elemen-
tary School, cre-
ating 245 pupil
places in
2001/2002;
• A 12-class-
room addition to
St. Monica
Catholic Elemen-
tary School in
Pickering, creat-
ing 294 addition-
al pupil places in
2002/2003;
• Two new ele-
mentary schools
in Ajax, one on
Shoal Point Road
and the second
near Harwood
Avenue and
Rossland Road,
which will add
about 960 new
pupil places be-
tween 2002 and
2004;
• A new ele-
mentary school in
Whitby, adding
almost 580 pupil
places.
A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 10, 2001
year plan is a “guideline,” not a docu-
ment set in stone.
“It is not in itself exactly what may
or may not happen,” said Mr. Andrews.
Trustees are expected to give the
plan their stamp of approval at the Jan.
22 board meeting.
“I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a
go,” board chairman Fred Jones said
after the meeting.
Using various sources, Ms. Clarke
estimates just over 73,000 additional
dwelling units will be built in the
board’s jurisdiction in the next two
decades. Most of that growth will
occur in central and western Durham,
according to forecasts that state almost
29 per cent of the growth is slated for
Whitby, while 22 per cent is to happen
in Pickering and 23 per cent in Ajax.
Meanwhile, Oshawa will account for
about 19 per cent of the growth and
north Durham, comprised of Brock,
Uxbridge and Scugog townships, will
account for a combined eight per cent.
The next round of construction, not
yet approved by trustees but detailed in
Monday’s agenda, would see additions
to three elementary schools in Picker-
ing, two new elementary schools in
Ajax, and a new elementary school in
Whitby.
Trustees received the 20-year plan
just before the meeting and in an inter-
view Mr. Andrews said before the next
round of projects can be approved
trustees need to understand and agree
with the vision.
“Before we start making decisions
in the short term, we better make sure
we have agreement on the long-term
goals,” said Mr. Andrews.
To help pay for the 20-year plan,
C.N. Watson suggests the board will
need to borrow $76 million, which
does not include the roughly $70.3
million the board has already bor-
rowed to finance capital work.
He said the board has historically
undertaken a five-year capital expendi-
ture forecast and that much of the 20-
year plan “builds on what has taken
place in the past.”
But business superintendent David
Visser stressed the plan is the first time
the board has looked so far ahead.
“We’re never had a document like
this in the past,” he said, describing it
as a “fantastic planning tool”.

It’s about to get much tougher for
convicted drunk drivers to reoffend.
Attorney General Jim Flaherty on
Monday unveiled the latest weapon in
the fight against drinking and driving —
the alcohol ignition interlock device.
Under Bill 131, which was passed
Dec. 21, the device will be mandatory
for those convicted of a criminal alco-
hol-related offence.
“Too many lives are lost in the
province because of the inability of
many drivers to curb their drinking-and-
driving habits,” said Mr. Flaherty, during
a demonstration of the machine in Whit-
by.
“This legislation is another step for-
ward to eradicate the carnage on our
roads.”
Use of the device is mandatory for a
period of one year for first-time offend-
ers, three years for second-time offend-
ers and permanently for third-time of-
fenders.
“We welcome this initiative, which
we believe is one of the toughest in
Canada,” said Nancy Codlin of Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD),
Durham chapter. “The message has to
go out that drinking and driving must
stop.”
Members of the Durham traffic man-
agement unit were on hand to demon-
strate the $1,200 device, which is in ef-
fect a sophisticated breath alcohol tester
with computer logic and memory capa-
bilities. Installed in the offender’s vehi-
cle, it is linked to the ignition system. If
the person has been drinking, the device
prevents the operation of the vehicle. Its
use is recorded and gives police a de-
tailed history of its operation and the
drinking/ driving habits of the user.
The costs for the installation and
maintenance of the device are the re-
sponsibility of the driver, estimated to be
$3 per day. They don’t have to purchase
the tester.
Although it is not fail-proof, Consta-
ble Brendan Kennaley, of the traffic
management unit, said “the fear alone of
having the device installed” will deter
people from drinking and driving.
Also, he explained, there are penal-
ties for those trying to circumvent the
law. For instance, charges will be laid
for anyone caught blowing for someone
else. Offenders will be fined if they try
to use another vehicle. Another safe-
guard is that retests are required as long
as the vehicle is running. If a retest is not
taken, or alcohol is detected above a pre-
set limit, an alarm is activated and re-
mains on until the driver passes the
breath test or pulls over and shuts off the
engine.

not getting
the message
Durham RIDE
program kept busy
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
They came from various walks of
life, but 74 motorists caught drinking
and driving during the holiday Reduce
Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE)
program all had one thing in common:
excuses.
And Acting Sergeant Mark Stone,
co-ordinator of the Durham Regional
Police 2000/2001 campaign and nine
colleagues heard them all during the
past seven weeks.
“It seems everybody has an excuse;
there’s always an excuse. They range
from ‘I only had two beers,’ to ‘I was
only going down the road,’ or ‘I had to
pick up a friend’.
“There are two groups (of drunk dri-
vers). The people who believe they’re
not over the limit and then there are the
hard-core alcoholics who blow substan-
tial levels.”
As far as Acting Sgt. Stone’s con-
cerned, this year’s final RIDE numbers
are a good news-bad news story.
On the positive side, he said, there
were no fatal collisions in the region in-
volving alcohol during the holiday sea-
son for the seventh consecutive year.
On the down side, however, is the
fact the number of drivers charged with
exceeding the legal blood-alcohol limit
of 80 mgs per 100 mls of blood isn’t
going down.
In fact, the figures are nearly identi-
cal to last year’s. The 74 charged in
2000/2001 is one more than last year
and the numbers likely would have
been higher if it hadn’t been for brutal
weather conditions which hampered the
team’s efforts, Acting Sgt. Stone said.
Heavy snow and bitter cold temper-
atures posed a major obstacle. “It was
very challenging for the officers as far
as standing outside. On some nights we
couldn’t stay out for more than 20 min-
utes,” Acting Sgt. Stone said.
The RIDE team worked 30 shifts
and stopped 40,150 vehicles at roadside
spot checks set up in high density areas
across the region, up from 36,500 last
year. In total, 742 drivers were given
roadside breath tests (a drop from 823
the previous year. Of those 182 regis-
tered a “warn” and received a 12-hour
licence suspension. Last year, 171 sus-
pensions were issued.

gangs were made members of the
Hells Angels during a ‘patch over’
ceremony in Sorel, Que. Joining the
Angels were the Satan’s Choice
(which was started during the mid-
1960s in Oshawa), the ParaDice Rid-
ers, Lobos and Last Chance.
“Provincewide, our concern is
any group conducting criminal activ-
ity. With Bill 155, making profits
and their assets are uncertain.
(Biker) clubhouses, crack houses,
anything will be exposed to seizure,
assuming we can convince a judge.”
Mr. Flaherty noted there have
been outlaw biker gangs in the
province for years.
“They find Ontario an attractive
place to do business. Ontario has a
strong economy.”
Among the activities are drug
dealing, child prostitution, murder
for hire, loan sharking, telemarket-
ing fraud, and enforcement or col-
lection of loans, he said.
“(In) all of these, organized crime
is involved,” Mr. Flaherty said.
In 1998, a 44-member provincial
squad of 18 police forces, including
Durham Region, was set up to com-
bat bikers.
Mr. Flaherty says there should
also be minimum mandatory sen-
tencing for anyone who commits a
crime while a member of a gang, he
added.
For the past six years, the Hells
Angels had been locked in a bloody
turf war in Quebec with the Rock
Machine. The battle claimed more
than 100 lives, most of them bikers
or associates.
But, also killed were an 11-year-
old boy and two prison guards.
“As attorney general, I have great
concern about innocent bystanders
being killed,” Mr. Flaherty said. “We
have, quite frankly, serious concerns
in the administration of justice, of
people seeking to influence the ad-
ministration of justice.
“It’s a serious situation in On-
tario. We know it’s a serious situa-
tion and it’s been getting a lot of
publicity. We’ve had it for a long
time. It hasn’t just happened.”

roof.
Mr. Quinn says the goal is to
open the community centre a
week or two after the library.
“I’m not happy about
(delay),” he said, adding “these
things happen... it is a reason-
able delay.”
Located in East Woodlands
Park on Kingston Road, the new
facility will include a 10,000-
square-foot library with an en-
larged children’s area, a reading
section centred around a fire-
place, lots of study tables and
computers with Internet access.
The community centre will
feature a spacious multi-purpose
room with a large kitchen as
well as a room for drop-in pro-
grams for young people.
While the opening is pegged
for March, at least one person is
hoping it comes sooner.
“We’re still hoping to be in
the building by Feb. 28,” said
Linda Linton, chief executive of-
ficer for the Pickering Public Li-
brary. “We’re still, at this point,
optimistic.”
Although, she said, “Clearly
the amount of snow we’re get-
ting doesn’t help.”
Ms. Linton reported the dry-
walling has begun, the roofing is
finished and all of the services
are in the new library facility.
And, she said substantial
progress is expected within the
next week or two, including the
installation of the building’s
large glass windows.
“The push is on to open the
library ASAP,” Ms. Linton
noted.

the progress of the new branch,

‘These things happen.’
Public split on who to blame over extracurriculars impasse: Survey
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
Ontarians are split on who is to
blame for the lack of extracurricu-
lar activities in high schools,
polling conducted for the Province
indicates.
Data made public last Thursday
shows the results of eight polls
conducted last year by Angus Reid
(now Ipsos-Reid) for the provin-
cial government, in which roughly
600 people were asked their opin-
ion on education issues. The
Province also polled Ontarians on
a variety of other issues in 2000,
including health care and the envi-
ronment.
In the Oct. 10 education poll,
roughly 50 per cent of respondents
said the teachers’unions have been
either very fair or somewhat fair
and reasonable on the issue of ex-
tracurricular activities, compared
to about 43 per cent who felt the
opposite. But at the same time, 50
per cent of those same people be-
lieved the government has been
very or somewhat fair and reason-
able, while 46 per cent believe the
government isn’t handling the ex-
tracurriculars issue fairly and rea-
sonably. A poll in July found that
close to 65 per cent of people be-
lieved the provincewide standards
on teaching time, which led to the
impasse between the government
and high school teachers, are very
or somewhat fair. The same poll
revealed 61 per cent of people
somewhat or strongly agree ex-
tracurriculars are voluntary activi-
ties, as opposed to about 37 per
cent who believe the opposite.
“I think obviously there is a
split in opinion,” said Jim Smith,
president of the Ontario English
Catholic Teachers’Association.
He found it “extremely encour-
aging” that most Ontarians believe
extracurriculars are voluntary ac-
tivities and that the government’s
efforts through advertising and
other means to convince the public
they’re on the right track with edu-
cation reforms has not been whol-
ly successful.
“We’re relatively pleased from
the perspective this government
has all the resources to shape pub-
lic opinion and has been unable to
convince the public the tack
they’re taking is working,” said
Mr. Smith.
Education Minister Janet Ecker
was unavailable for comment, but
ministry spokesman Dave Ross
said polling is nothing new for this
or other governments.
“I would say every government
has done polls to gauge public
opinion on issues,” he said.
Among other common ques-
tions asked in both polls was if the
government is headed in the right
direction with its educational
changes. The numbers show the
support for provincial reforms
dropped slightly towards the end
of the year.
In July, just over 18 per cent of
people strongly approved of the di-
rection the government is headed,
while almost 40 per cent some-
what approved. In October, the
numbers were 14 and 38 per cent
respectively. The number of peo-
ple who strongly disapproved rose
from about 21 per cent in July to
almost 25 per cent in October.
The poll results should be “a
wakeup call” for the government,
said Mr. Smith
“A substantial number of
ratepayers in this Province
are beginning to lose confi-
dence in the government’s
ability to deal with real is-
sues,” he said.
He termed as “extremely
misleading” a question that
asked if it’s fair that teachers
are refusing to supervise ac-
tivities because of the extra
half class they are required to
teach.

BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
PICKERING — Two Pickering
councillors say they’ll tell the Ontario
Energy Board (OEB) they’re against a
proposed rate hike by Veridian Corpora-
tion despite the City’s decision not to
comment on the issue.
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice
Brenner and Ward 2 Regional Council-
lor Mark Holland urged their colleagues
to take a stand against the proposed rate
increase at Monday’s executive commit-
tee meeting, pointing out the hike could
see homeowners here paying 16.8 per
cent more in energy costs over the next
three years.
But, councillors instead voted to sup-
port a motion by Mayor Wayne Arthurs
to receive a report on the issue for infor-
mation.
“What protection do the consumers
in Pickering have from this type of price
gauging?” argued Coun. Brenner who
said the proposed rate increases com-
bined with the impact of rate harmo-
nization of all Veridian customers will
result in a 16.8 per cent price increase
over the next three years.
“I respect and I understand what
Veridian needs to do to be competitive,”
Coun. Brenner added, noting “I thought
competitiveness meant the lowering of
costs, not increasing.”
Coun. Holland said Tuesday after-
noon he and Coun. Brenner were draft-
ing a letter objecting to the increase and
sending it to the OEB.
Veridian, which is owned by the mu-
nicipalities of Pickering, Ajax and Clar-
ington, has applied to the OEB for a rate
increase this year that averages 3.4 per
cent for the utility’s customers in Pick-
ering, Ajax, Uxbridge and Clarington.
If approved, the increase will come
into effect Feb. 1.
However, according to a report by
the corporation, that increase, which in-
cludes the impact of rate harmonization,
would equal 5.3 per cent in Pickering
because rates here are the lowest among
the municipalities Veridian serves.
So, a homeowner using approxi-
mately 1,000 kilowatts of electricity a
month would see their monthly bill in-
crease from $80.38 to $84.67 if the hike
is approved. When the proposed in-
creases for 2002 and 2003 are factored
in, local residents could see their bills
climb by 16.8 per cent to a total of
$93.87 per month, the report indicates.
But, as Mayor Arthurs explained, the
proposed rate increase isn’t a straight-
forward matter. “I wish the world was as
simple as it was being portrayed. But it
isn’t,” he said Monday.
Mayor Arthurs told the committee
Veridian “made it clear deregulation
would not result in decreased energy
costs by the distributor.”
And, in outlining some of the finan-
cial challenges facing the utility he said
Veridian is now responsible for regula-
tory costs, is facing higher energy bills
and is losing about $5 million a year in
development charges that it used to use
to pay capital infrastructure costs.
He also noted Veridian needs to
reach a market-based rate of return for
its shareholders.
“Those are costs the utility has to
incur to ensure a strong viable busi-
ness,” he said. “This is not a simple mat-
ter.”
Mayor Arthurs also pointed out that
utility bills here have decreased over the
past seven to eight years.
“The consumer has been well-
served,” he said, adding “the rules have
changed... energy costs have changed.
“It is necessary to recover lost rev-
enue streams... to operate the business
efficiently and effectively... and to pro-
vide a return to the various sharehold-
ers.” He added “we are no longer a non-
profit business operation... we expect to
make a profit on those customers.”
But, Coun. Holland argued if that’s
the case then the City should get out of
the energy business.
“If we want Veridian to achieve a
corporate rate of return, then sell it,” he
said, noting “there is a reason why pub-
lic corporations don’t own private cor-
porations... we’re a municipal public
corporation... our interest is the people.”

The Cash For Cancer Lottery is
back.
On Monday, the Oshawa General
Hospital Foundation launched its sec-
ond lottery to raise funds for the new re-
gional cancer centre, to be built at Lak-
eridge Health Oshawa.
Last year’s successful lottery raised
$1.5 million. It’s hoped this year’s will
raise $2.5 million.
Cancer patient Lise Kozlinski told of
her experiences travelling to Toronto for
radiation treatment and the importance
of having that treatment available closer
to home.
She initially thought she’d be able to
get herself to and from Toronto for at
least half her treatments. But after three
trips, she found herself having to rely on
family, friends, Cancer Society volun-
teers and even strangers to drive her for
her 27 remaining treatments, she said.
Chuck Powers,president of the foun-
dation said each purchase of a lottery
ticket helps bring the centre to Durham
Region.
“This vital facility will provide can-
cer diagnosis, treatment and support to
over 740,000 residents of Durham Re-
gion and beyond,” he said.
The lottery contains many prize
packages, said Jim Szeman, foundation
executive director.
“This year, we’ve made it worth a
whole lot more to be one of the early
birds,” he said.
The grand prize is $1 million in cash.
Total prize value is more than $4.1 mil-
lion. For tickets, call 1-877-460-3800.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Everyone has
to do their part
To the editor:
Religion and politics apart, I
have to express my disgust to say
the least at the Nigerian govern-
ment decision to allow 180 lashes
of 17-year-old Bariya Ibrahim
Magazu, who has been found
guilty of premarital sex, which she
says was against her will and re-
sulted in pregnancy. This is to take
place by the end of January.
It is certain she will not survive.
While not being aware of the facts
in this case and not wanting to ap-
pear to be a meddling do-gooder, is
it not time we stopped just standing
around and letting these injustices
go unchallenged? It is so true that
we don’t want to get involved un-
less it directly involves us. Let us
get away from this ‘me’-ism. We
have to get involved with each
other’s tragedies.
What can we do in Canada,
which is so far away? We can col-
lectively pray wholeheartedly that
pressure will be brought to bear on
those officials who can change this
sentence of certain death of this

Be careful about
warming up car
To the editor:
Did you know warming your
car in the garage, even for only a
few minutes, can lead to toxic car-
bon monoxide (CO) gas seeping
into the house?
It happened recently to someone
I know and outlines a few very im-
portant precautions all homeown-
ers, especially those with attached
garages, should know.
Vehicles should always, espe-
cially on cold days, be backed out
of the garage completely and
quickly after starting the engine be-
fore warming the car up. In a recent
incident, a car was warmed up for
about five minutes in the garage
with the garage door opened, but
also with the access door to the
house from the garage opened most
of that time.
Upon returning to the house
hours later, the CO detector was
sounding. The fire department was
called to check for presence of car-
bon monoxide and indeed the mea-
suring device showed levels up to
16 parts per million throughout the
house.
It was concluded that, in that
short span of time, CO gas from the
car exhaust had seeped into the
house.
Although these readings were
well below dangerous levels, they
nevertheless show how easily the
CO gas can enter the house. A read-
ing of 50 ppm is considered very
dangerous, as the carbon monoxide
gas, which is odourless and invisi-
ble but highly toxic, can cause nau-
sea, vomiting, drowsiness and can
be fatal.
The CO gas was quickly and ef-
ficiently expelled from the house
by the firefighters who opened all
the windows and fanned fresh out-
side air throughout the house.
This stresses the importance of
having CO detectors in the house:
If you don’t already have one, con-
sider getting one. And when warm-
ing up your car, or even starting it
up at any time in the garage,be sure
to back it completely out of the
garage right away, then wait a cou-
ple of minutes before closing the
garage door. Take the same precau-
tions, except in a reverse proce-
dure, when driving the car into the
garage.
These measures will help to dis-
sipate the exhaust gas out of the
garage and keep it from seeping
into the house.

It’s time for
decision on GTSB
Does massive board have
role to play in GTA’s future?
A delicate touch
New bylaw for body rub
parlours a responsible step
As former Toronto councillor Gordon Chong gets set to
take the reins of the Greater Toronto Services Board as its
new chairman, critical questions abound regarding the fu-
ture of the controversial body.
Now officially in existence for two years, the GTSB has
accomplished little so far. Most of the blame for that falls
with the Province, which has provided little direction and
few clues as to what the GTSB will do and how much power
it will have.
Mr. Chong said over the weekend he wants to see a
strong signal from the Province about what it intends to do
and where it plans to go with the GTSB.
The notion of ‘another level of government’ never sat
well in Durham where nearly all local politicians turned
thumbs-down on the idea.
Will the GTSB consist of yet another level of govern-
ment? Will it have taxing powers? Don’t we have enough
now with municipal, regional, provincial and federal gov-
ernments?
Will the GTSB be responsible for just transportation
across the GTA or will its mandate include land use plan-
ning, social programs and other cost-shared services (po-
lice, fire, water, electric, etc.).
Most Durham politicians have seen the GTSB as a way
for Toronto to muscle in on the tax base of the four sur-
rounding regions to help pay for its own programs.
Durham Chairman Roger Anderson minces no words on
the GTSB.
“I’d like to see the GTSB dissolved. But if the Province
is not going to do that, I’d like to see it stay focused on tran-
sit and transportation and leave the rest of it alone,” said Mr.
Anderson in a recent interview.
Others, like Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion are
tired of waiting around for the GTSB to get going. While
under the leadership of initial chairman Alan Tonks — who
was elected as a Liberal MP during the 2000 election — the
GTSB was a fuzzy construct which spent most of its time
listening to consultants explain what it should do.
Now, however, it’s time to put up or shut up. Minister of
Municipal Affairs Tony Clement, who talks a good game,
will have to explain clearly what the role of the GTSB is.
Up until now it’s only been involved in GO Transit. Is that
enough?
If we’re to keep the 42-member board let’s make sure it
provides effective representation, new ideas, and a vision of
the future for the GTA. If it does all that, it may be time to
end regional government.
But that’s a topic for another day.
It may have been an, ahem, touchy issue to deal with,
but council’s recent moves to put tighter restrictions on
body rub parlours in the city was a wise one.
As of Jan. 1, all body rub parlours within Pickering’s
borders must be licensed and regulated, and in addition,
anyone hoping to set up a new operation can only do so in
the Brock Industrial Area, which is south of Hwy. 401 and
east of the hydro right-of-way that runs north/ south be-
tween Brock and Sandy Beach roads.
The new bylaw makes it easier for the City to keep an
eye on a growing industry where some operators have
drawn attention to the occupation for the wrong reasons.
Critics may argue licensing is an invitation for every-
one and anyone to set up shop locally, but we worry more
about the alternatives if the City hadn’t acted. Through li-
censing, Pickering can make sure parlours are up to im-
portant health and building codes, comply with other by-
laws, and perhaps most importantly, keep an accurate list
of who is running them. In other words, no one will be
setting up on the sly.
As for those who complain the restriction on locations
is counter to free enterprise, we tend to feel it’s an impor-
tant first step in developing a trusting and long-term rela-
tionship between the City and operators. By showing they
can be good corporate citizens and that they don’t con-
tribute negatively to areas frequented by the public and
children — as councillors are worried about — operators
build a case for having the restrictions removed down the
road.
The bylaws are an important and responsible step by
council, but the job isn’t done. Public scrutiny and regu-
lar review are essential; we encourage council and City
staff to do both.

An almost unknown minister
has been given what amounts to the
giant task of saving the government
of Premier Mike Harris.
Attorney General Jim Flaherty,
whom most people would not rec-
ognize if he slapped them across
the face with a writ, could be seen
plugging away at his job when he
brought in almost all the govern-
ment’s legislation of consequence
in the past few months.
Mr. Harris is looking for a new
issue on which to fight the next
election because cutting taxes,
which won his Progressive Conser-
vatives election in 1995 and re-
election in 1999, has just about run
its course.
Further sizable tax cuts will be
difficult to provide because the
economy is slowing and revenue is
unlikely to continue increasing to
pay for them. More residents also
are questioning the desirability of
tax cuts that have weakened essen-
tial services.
Premier Harris clearly is bent on
making law and order his next
theme. One of Mr. Flaherty’s new
laws is Ontario’s first dramatic leg-
islation attempting to counter orga-
nized crime since 1964, when a
Tory government brought in the
notorious ‘police state bill’ that
would have enabled police to hold
indefinitely anyone who refused to
answer questions.
The earlier Tories had to aban-
don it after protests it would violate
civil rights and governments have
been paralysed on the issue ever
since.
Mr. Flaherty’s law will enable
his ministry to go to a civil court
and ask it to confiscate any proper-
ty it finds, on the balance of proba-
bilities, that a person owns through
unlawful activity.
This is far less proof than is re-
quired to seek confiscation under
the federal Criminal Code and also
competes with Ottawa’s code. The
law will face serious challenges
that it is unfair and unconstitution-
al.
But organized crime is patently
on the rise, particularly among bik-
ers and immigrant gangs, and Mr.
Harris feels many will give him
credit for not merely sitting and
watching.
Another of Mr. Flaherty’s laws
will allow the Province to go to
court to seize money criminals re-
ceive from retelling their crimes in
books or interviews.
Some other provinces have basi-
cally similar laws, but Ontario will
be the first to allocate money re-
covered from gabby criminals
specifically to compensate their
victims.
Mr. Flaherty has introduced leg-
islation to grab and protect children
as young as 13 who work as prosti-
tutes mostly in major cities but sur-
prisingly even in some smaller
communities.
It will enable police and child-
care workers to apprehend children
on the streets and in bawdy houses,
strip clubs, massage parlours and
motels and remove them to safe lo-
cations where children’s aid soci-
eties will assume temporary re-
sponsibility.
A court will then decide what to
do with them,what counselling and
other help should be given and
whether the children should be re-
turned to parents.
Mr. Flaherty had a bill passed
that makes parents liable in civil
court for damages their children
cause unless they can show they
exercised reasonable care to pre-
vent or discourage it.
The attorney general also has
shown more recognition to the fact
domestic violence is a crime by
bringing in a law under which
judges and justices of the peace
will be available around the clock
to issue intervention orders requir-
ing spouses to stop abusing and
even communicating with the
abused. Those who ignore orders
will be prosecuted in criminal
courts.
Another of Mr. Flaherty’s laws
set up a permanent office to help
crime victims, but the Tories have
paid some lip service in this area
before and it would be rash to pre-
dict how much it will help.
Other ministers have concur-
rently announced measures contin-
uing the same theme of promoting
law and order. Correctional Ser-
vices Minister Norm Sterling
brought in a law that will give
crime victims a chance to speak at
hearings at which those convicted
of the crimes seek parole.
Education Minister Janet Ecker
announced as part of a crackdown
any student who swears at or
threatens serious injury to a teacher
will be suspended immediately and
given counselling.
But Mr. Harris has clearly given
the main task to Mr. Flaherty, who
also will have to sell law and order
when statistics show most crime is
down — a tough job for an un-
known.

PICKERING —In a tough three-
games-in-three-days stretch, the
Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers
came through with flying colours in
junior hockey action last weekend.
The Panthers posted a more-than-
adequate 2-1 record over the week-
end in OHA Ontario Provincial Ju-
nior ‘A’ Hockey League play. More
importantly, the Pickering juniors
(16-14-3-2 for 37 points) were able to
jump over the Vaughan Vipers into
seventh place in the nine-team South
Conference standings as the Vipers
dropped two games to the Ajax Axe-
men.
The Panthers travelled to
Huntsville to meet the Wildcats Sun-
day afternoon, posting a 4-3 overtime
decision. The previous evening, Pick-
ering was beaten on the road 4-2 by
the Thornhill Rattlers. The Panthers
started the weekend Friday night at
the Pickering Recreation Complex
against the Aurora Tigers, winning 6-
4.
The common denominator to the
weekend’s activity was the standout
goaltending supplied by veteran net-
minder Mike Andreoff. Although
Bobby Poposki got the start in net in
the Aurora game, Andreoff was
pressed into action after Poposki was
ejected from the game with a fighting
major after a tussle with opposition
goalie Josh Gartner (son of former
Toronto Maple Leaf player Mike
Gartner) as part of a melee that oc-
curred in the second period.
Andreoff continued to play well in
the loss to Thornhill and was the
chief reason the Panthers were able to
pocket an overtime victory in
Huntsville as he robbed a Wildcats’
shooter on a breakaway during the
five-minute overtime frame.
“Andreoff had a truly outstanding
weekend,” noted Panthers’ assistant
coach Norm Rogers.
In Huntsville, the Panthers’ third
game in two-and-a-half days took its
toll on the club in the early going.
The Wildcats opened up a 3-1 lead
midway through the second period,
but the Panthers finally got their skat-
ing legs and closed the gap to one
goal before the end of the frame.
Pickering tied the game with seven
minutes to go in the third and sent the
contest into overtime. In the extra
frame, Dan Schofield scored with
two minutes left to salvage the victo-
ry.
Also scoring for Pickering were
John Buscema, Garret Winder, and
Rob Colangelo. Assisting were Don
Johnson with two, and Doug Carr,
Sean Bradley, Winder and Matt
Christie.
Undisciplined penalties and poor
penalty killing sunk the Panthers
against Thornhill. All four of the Rat-
tlers goals came on the power play.
The Panthers, however, were able to
score both of their markers with the
man advantage.
The turning point of the contest
came early in the second period when
the Panthers took an undisciplined
five-minute major penalty while lead-
ing 2-1. Thornhill scored twice on the
power play to take a 3-2 lead which
they would never relinquish.
“We took a bad penalty at a bad
time and it cost us the game,” noted
Rogers. “When we were playing five-
on-five against them we were playing
very well. But, you can’t afford to
take penalties against Thornhill, es-
pecially a five-minute major.”
Winder scored both Pickering
goals in the loss. Assists went to Carr,
Brent Chandler and Kyle Aitken.
In the victory over Aurora, the
Panthers didn’t fall victim to the
Tigers’ intimidation tactics in the
contest, preferring instead to focus on
the game, said Rogers.
“Aurora is a much older team and
they tried to intimidate us and play a
physical game. I thought our guys
stepped up and played very well. We
used our speed to counteract the
physical play of Aurora,” he said.
After holding one-goal leads in the
first and second periods, the Panthers
found themselves tied 4-4 early in the
final frame. However, Pickering
scored two more in the third to secure
the victory.
Schofield with two, Jason Ricu-
pero, Colangelo, Aitken and Carr
scored for the Panthers. Drawing as-
sists were Colin Jennings and Daryl
Lloyd each with two, Buscema, Matt
Garisto, Winder, Christie, Schofield,
Johnson, all with one.
The Panthers play Thursday night
in Oshawa against the Legionaires,
followed by a home-and-home series
with the first-place Wexford Raiders
Friday and Saturday evenings. Pick-
ering hosts the Raiders at the com-
plex Friday at 7 p.m., with both teams
back on the ice in Scarborough Satur-
day night. The Panthers play in
Vaughan against the Vipers Monday
night.

timing is everything. But, for the
Ajax Klondike Axemen junior hock-
ey club, pulling the plug on former
head coach Tim ‘Ace’ Bailey may be
a case of bad timing with just a
month left in the regular season.
Rightly or wrongly, that’s what
the Axemen management duo of
team owner Larry Labelle and gener-
al manager Chuck Sawdon has decid-
ed to do. And, with the playoffs
looming, time is short to get the good
ship Axemen turned in a direction
they would like to see it headed.
Labelle and Sawdon demoted the
affable Bailey to assistant coach
prior to last Thursday’s game in
Couchiching against the Terriers.
The demotion was something Bailey
— in his first year behind the Axe-
men bench — was loathe to accept
and he subsequently left the team.
The move was unexpected for
Bailey, who didn’t see it coming after
his club put up an unexpectedly
strong showing at the competitive
Newmarket Junior Showcase Tourna-
ment over the Christmas break. The
Axemen went undefeated in pool
play, including a big win over the
league’s top-ranked Newmarket Hur-
ricanes, and advanced to the quarter-
finals of the 28-team event before
losing to a strong Thornhill Rattlers
club.
The good result at the tourney ap-
parently wasn’t enough to satisfy La-
belle. He noted the Axemen defeated
sub-.500 teams in the South Win-
nipeg Blues and the Oakville Blades
in preliminary play, but were full
value in the win over Newmarket, a
calibre of team he claims the Aja-
cians should be beating on a regular
basis.
The Newmarket result aside, La-
belle acknowledges the real reason
for Bailey’s departure was recent
back-to-back losses to the Axemen’s
old nemesis, the Pickering Panthers.
Ajax lost 4-2 in Pickering Dec. 23,
then lost by a close 5-4 count at the
Pickering Recreation Complex on
Jan. 1. Those losses, explains La-
belle, sealed Bailey’s fate.
“If the Newmarket tourney was
such a high note, we should have
gone into Pickering with a strong
performance (Jan. 1), but what we
got was a loss,” says Labelle.
But the fact is the Axemen are a
country mile better than they were a
year ago. In fact, the Axemen have
already matched last year’s point out-
put. With 10 games remaining in the
regular season, the Axemen are 18-
17-3-0 for 39 points. Last season, the
team finished tied for sixth place in
the South Conference with a sub-par
16-26-6 record for 39 points. Due to
the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior
‘A’Hockey League’s overly generous
playoff format, the Axemen made it
to the post-season, only to be dis-
patched to the sidelines in the mini-
mum four games by Couchiching.
So far this season, it’s been an up-
and-down campaign for the Axemen,
with the fifth-place team still within
striking distance of third, but consis-
tently hovering around the .500 mark
for much of the season. During the
season, the team has made numerous
changes in player personnel, most
notably bringing in five players in
November from the sinking ship that
is the Port Hope Clippers of the
league’s East Conference (Jim
Stussy, Jesse Olden, Luca Felicetti,
Kirk O’Gorman and Dionne Penney,
who had a short stint in the Ajax line-
up) as well as adding Justin Olden
last month who’s turned out to be a
productive forward for the team. The
constant upheaval to the lineup, how-
ever, has hampered the progress of
the club and that, as well, did nothing
to help Bailey’s cause to stay on as
head coach.
But, as the owner of the team, it’s
Labelle’s prerogative to make the
changes as he sees fit. He’s con-
vinced a coaching change was the
right way to go, even at this late date
in the schedule. He’s adamant the tal-
ent level of the team is vastly better
than a year ago... but the expected re-
sults haven’t followed.
How the coaching change will
play out for the team in the waning
days of the campaign and into the
playoffs is anybody’s guess. Is the
move too little too late for the Axe-
men? Stay tuned.
Only time will
tell if Axemen
coaching change
the right move

PICKERING —A trio of Pickering Figure
Skating Club (PFSC) members were flush with
gold following a recent test day at the Ajax Com-
munity Centre.
Pickering’s Katie Ellis, Michelle Frazier and
Alexandra Richardson tried their tests at the Ajax
Figure Skating Club due to the high level of their
tests. Ajax and Pickering clubs often share their
‘high’ test days as the governing body — Skate
Canada-Central Ontario — requests the clubs do so
because of the availability of judges.
All three girls passed their final gold dance
tests, meaning they have completed the highest
level in the test stream program for dance. Ellis
was successful in passing the Argentine tango and
silver samba in the gold dance category. Mean-
while, Richardson and Frazier passed the Westmin-
ster test.
Other PFSC skaters to pass tests in Ajax were as
follows:
Skating skills 3 — Angie Vischaft;
Senior silver dance — paso: Cynthia Paulus; kil-
lian: Breanne Allen;
Gold dance - quickstep: Emily Gaudet, Joanna
Glavin.
In other PFSC news, a number of other skaters
passed various tests at the club’s own test day at the
Pickering Recreation Complex last month.
Those passing were:
Preliminary dance — Dutch waltz: Stephanie Fon-
ceca, Chelsey Forstner, Paula Gilchrist, Alexandra
Huebner, Natalie Huebner; canasta tango: Marina
Gargoura, Samantha Mason; baby blues: Cassan-
dra Cautius, Jeanette Ng, Jordan Pagnello.
Junior bronze dance — swing: Jennifer Adams,
Tori Giglio, Jennifer Hing, Ashley Lambe.
Senior bronze dance — European: Kristine Ar-
buckle, Jennifer Powell, Amanda Press; ten fox:
Jeanne Kim; 14 step: Katherine Levesque; ten fox
variation: Angie Vischaft.
Junior silver dance — Keats foxtrot: Kristine Ar-
buckle, Kelly Seifreid, Vanessa Seifried; Harris
tango: Dianna Ball; American waltz: Dianna Ball;
rocker foxtrot: Emma Cosgrove.
Bronze rhythm dance: Erin Seeley.
Skating skills class 5: Julia Blandisi, Jennifer Pow-
ell, Amanda Press.
Skating skills class 6: Paige Heathcote, Savannah
Heathcote.
Pickering Figure Skating Club members, from
left, Alexandra Richardson, Michelle Frazier
and Katie Ellis, celebrate after passing their
gold tests in the dance discipline recently.
Achieving a gold test takes many years of prac-
tise and dedication.

Ajax Axemen axe head coach
Team owner Larry Labelle steps behind bench for rest of season
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
AJAX —The Ajax Klondike Ax-
emen have parted company with their
head coach and the club’s owner has
taken over behind the bench for the
remainder of the season.
Tim ‘Ace’ Bailey stepped down as
coach following last Thursday’s 9-2
loss on the road to the Couchiching
Terriers. Prior to the game, Axemen
team owner Larry Labelle demoted
Bailey to assistant coach and named
himself head coach.
Labelle said the coaching move
was necessary as the club continued
to flounder around the .500 mark in
the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior
‘A’ Hockey League’s South Confer-
ence and he felt it should be perform-
ing at a much higher plateau given
the talent on the roster.
“It’s not so much a different direc-
tion, but a more positive direction,”
said Labelle. “Chuck (Sawdon, the
team’s general manager) and myself
have considered the last four weeks,
and we found that the team was stag-
nating. We know we have a much bet-
ter team than the results we were get-
ting.
“We thought going into this year,
and with the changes we’ve made
since that time, that in a worst-case
scenario we should be in third place
(in the South Conference standings).
But, we’ve only beaten Oshawa once
this year and we should not be losing
against teams below us. We shouldn’t
be losing to St. Mike’s and Picker-
ing.”
For Bailey, the move by Labelle
caught him completely by surprise.
After a solid showing at the 2000
Newmarket Junior Showcase Tourna-
ment (the Axemen finished as quar-
ter-finalists out of 28 teams) and with
the club’s point totals already above
that of last year, he felt he was broad-
sided by the sudden change.
“I’m so upset by this. It shouldn’t
be happening. It’s a winning team
and I get along with the players,” said
Bailey, who coached last season with
the Wexford Raiders ‘AAA’ midget
squad. “Why Larry took this action at
this time of year is beyond my imag-
ination.”
Labelle responded the coaching
change shouldn’t have caught Bailey
off-guard, as back-to-back losses to
the Pickering Panthers (4-2 on Dec.
23, 5-4 on Jan. 1) should have sound-
ed alarm bells. Bailey took over as
the head coach after Jason Nobili
stepped down last summer to become
an assistant coach with the Owen
Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey
League.
“The last two losses to Pickering
and the constant struggle to win a
hockey game” (were the catalysts for
the change), said Labelle. “He should
have seen it coming. He knew what
his shortcomings were, but maybe he
wasn’t listening to what we (manage-
ment) were saying. But, losing two
games in a row to Pickering, it
shouldn’t have come as a big sur-
prise.”
Labelle noted his first order of
business as head coach is to install
some much-needed discipline within
the club’s ranks as the team is taking
too many penalties. Secondly, he
wants to get both his forward lines
and defence working together.
“Our penalties have to be cut way
down. Every team I’ve coached has
played disciplined hockey,” said La-
belle who has coached the Axemen
before, mostly when it was a junior
‘C’ franchise in the 1980s. “We
have to get all four lines operating
on the same page and we have to
have the (defence) moving the puck
out of our zone quicker. Right now,
we’re being stopped in our own
zone and the penalties are killing us.
When we’re playing five-on-five,
we’re one of the better hockey
teams in the league.”
Since Labelle took over as coach
of the club, the Axemen have posted
a 2-1 record. Along with the loss to
Couchiching, Ajax won both ends of
a home-and-home weekend series
with the Vaughan Vipers by posting a
5-1 road victory Saturday and 5-4
win at home Sunday afternoon.
Bailey says he’s already been ap-
proached by a provincial junior ‘A’
team from another conference to
come aboard as an assistant coach.
He’s unsure, however, if he’ll accept
the position.

Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League action at the Ajax Community Cen-
tre Sunday afternoon. The Axemen posted a come-from-behind 5-4 victo-
ry to sweep a home-and-home series from the Vipers.
‘I’m so upset by this. It
shouldn’t be happening.
It’s a winning team and I
get along with the
players.’

Local musician still drawing
attention to ‘Littlest Hobo’
Terry Bush’s theme song for long-running show
in demand around the world
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
AJAX —An Ajax song-
writer and his much-beloved
theme song from the popular
television show ‘The Littlest
Hobo’ have come full circle.
Twenty-two years after pen-
ning the theme song ‘Maybe
Tomorrow’ for the television
show, Terry Bush recently re-
leased a 12-song CD anchored
by the theme song after much
prodding from fans around the
world.
“There’s been a huge outcry
for the song, so I finally said
‘OK, I’ll release it’. I did it as
close as I could to the original
song on TV,” said the 58-year-
old. Hobo’s executive producer,
Simon Christopher Dew, had
asked Bush and writing partner
John Crossen in 1979 to write
the theme music for the show
about a German shepherd who
lives a nomadic existence. In
about 15 minutes, Bush had the
music written, with Crossen
penning the lyrics a short time
later.
‘Maybe Tomorrow’ enjoyed
a popular resurgence last year
after the National Westminster
Bank in England used the song
in one if its commercials,
which won an award at a Los
Angeles Film Competition.
The television ad prompted
a flood of calls to the bank of-
fices, asking where they could
get a copy of the song. It was
subsequently re-recorded by
the UK band ‘Scooch’ in April
of last year.
Bush says he got word of the
song’s popularity from
Crossen, who works in the ad-
vertising field and had friends
in England tell him of the com-
mercial.
With the song’s popularity
in England and numerous re-
quests for the theme on ‘The
Littlest Hobo’Web sites, which
number in the hundreds on cy-
berspace, Bush decided to re-
lease it on CD. He recruited the
help of Dew to be the executive
producer of the project, with
the recording sessions in the
basement of Bush’s Ajax home
last summer.
The result was a recording
that remains faithful to the orig-
inal, with the addition of an
extra verse written by Crossen.
The other 11 songs have a con-
temporary country feel which
features Bush’s distinctive vo-
cals.
To this day, Bush is still
amazed at the longevity of the
song and the show, which was
run in as many as 80 countries
during its heyday in the 1980s
and can still be seen locally on
Vision TV. Incredibly, the show
has served as a launching pad
to numerous acting careers, in-
cluding those of Mike Myers
and Megan Follows.
“I’m amazed,” said Bush of
the song’s longevity. “Even at
the time, I had somebody say to
me ‘you don’t know how well
you’ll do with that song’. It’s
great. I’m very proud of it.”
‘Maybe Tomorrow’ may
have been the cornerstone of
Bush’s career, but it was far
from his only musical achieve-
ment. He’s composed jingles
for a number of large compa-
nies, including Maxwell House
Coffee. In 1964, he joined the
popular Canadian band Robbie
Lane and Disciples as a gui-
tarist. The band went on to play
for the legendary Rompin’
Ronnie Hawkins. Bush ap-
peared with the band on the
CTV variety show ‘It’s Hap-
pening’ for three years in the
‘60s.
Currently the CD is only
available on the Internet at
www.hobotheme.com, al-
though Bush said he’s currently
investigating getting it into
record stores.
Ajax musician Terry Bush
has had a long and fruitful
association with ‘The Littlest
Hobo’.

But the river flows between.
Someday, sometime we shall see
The face we loved so well
Some day will clasp his hand
And never say farewell
From your loving wife
Elvina

Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way
Though absent you are ever near
Still missed, loved always dear.
Loving wife Evelyn & family.
Noble, Shelley Anne
Although it has been four years
since we have been able to see you
and touch you, you are always with
us in our thoughts and hearts. So
many of our sentences begin with
"as Shelley would have said" and
Katie and Kevin speak so often of
their beloved auntie "Sheshey".
Our lives can never be the same
without you but are so much richer
for having had you here as an
incredible daughter, sister, aunt,
Godmother and friend.
We remember you with pride
and boundless and endless love
- Our Shelley.

Encouraging Durham residents to make their
homes smoke-free is the aim of a local campaign
that’s receiving additional funding from the
Province.
The Durham Region Health Department
is joining forces with other Greater Toron-
to Area health units for its’Breathing
Space’ campaign. Funding in the amount
of $264,725 is being provided for the ini-
tiative.
Launched last July and continued until
October, the campaign featured posters on
local bus shelters as well as newspaper and
radio advertisements informing people of
the dangers of second-hand smoke.
The campaign will continue as a part-
nership between the public health units in
Durham, Halton, Hamilton-Wentworth,
Peel, Toronto and York. The Simcoe Coun-
ty District Health Unit will now join the
campaign.
“Results received from the initial cam-
paign’s evaluation were very positive and
showed that the campaign had a significant
impact on people’s attitudes and behav-
ioural intentions, specifically in relation to
making their homes smoke-free,” reported
Durham public health nurse Stephanie Nieuwland,
noting the new funding will be used to restart the
campaign.
She added, “The ‘Breathing Space’ campaign is
an ideal adjunct to the health department’s annual
‘Open the Door to a Smoke-Free Home’ contest and
campaign, as both campaigns work together to
heighten public awareness of the dangers of second-
hand smoke.”
The health unit reported the restart of the cam-
paign will enable the department to enhance existing
programs designed to reduce tobacco use and expo-
sure to second-hand smoke.
“Exposure to second-hand smoke is a major
health hazard and the third leading preventable
cause of death,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds,
Durham’s associate medical officer of
health. “Children are particularly vulnera-
ble to its effects and have an increased risk
of developing asthma, pneumonia, bron-
chitis, ear infections and sudden infant
death syndrome.”
According to a 1999 survey from the
health department, 22 per cent of Durham
children live in homes where someone reg-
ularly smokes.
Overall, health department officials re-
port the number of smoke-free homes is on
the rise. In 1996/97, 66 per cent of
Durham residents were living smoke-free
according to health department numbers,
while in 1999 the number had jumped to
74 per cent.
“The proportion of adults living in a
smoke-free home in Durham Region con-
tinues to increase,” Dr. Reynolds said.
She added the numbers are “a strong in-
dication that our message is being heard”.

Space’campaign or to obtain information on making
your home smoke-free, call the health department at
