Durham chairman unmoved by merger flip-flop
Anderson says Harris government wants better service delivery
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
The Region is committed to be-
coming more efficient and finding
better ways to deliver services
here, regardless of the govern-
ment’s stance on municipal amal-
gamations, says Durham Chair-
man Roger Anderson.
Premier Mike Harris told re-
porters last week if municipalities
don’t work together co-operatively
they could be forced to amalga-
mate. But, in speaking with re-
porters Thursday, he declared fu-
ture amalgamations won’t be im-
posed, saying they will be done
only at the request of local munic-
ipalities.
Mr. Anderson has repeatedly
said amalgamation is not the an-
swer when it comes to municipal
restructuring in Durham.
“I don’t think amalgamation
was ever on the table in Durham
Region,” he said in an interview
Friday, noting there aren’t two
neighbouring municipalities here
that would agree to a merger.
And, although he’s heard re-
ports regarding the provincial gov-
ernment’s recent flip-flop on the
issue, he said, “I have not heard the
Province say (amalgamations
won’t be imposed).”
He added, “I have heard them
say they want to see municipalities
and regions continue to find effi-
ciencies and services have to be
delivered smarter.”
Mr. Anderson believes there is
an opportunity to save more
money through improving the de-
livery of services here than there
would be through a municipal re-
structuring.
“I don’t think there’s one penny
to be saved by amalgamating mu-
nicipalities,” he says, adding local
municipalities are working to find
ways to improve service delivery
through the Region’s Who Does
What review.
“I think that’s what the
Province wants us to do,” Mr. An-
derson said.
He also said if the Province is
sincere about not forcing amalga-
mations, it will help municipalities
get back to business.
He noted the Region and other
municipalities have been in a
“hamstring” of sorts when it
comes to hiring new staff because
there has been a degree of uncer-
tainty about what the governance
model will look like down the
road.
“That was a real drawback,” he
said, adding it “played havoc on
the Region of Durham and the re-
gions of York and Peel.”
Councillors have a self-im-
posed June 30 deadline to deal
with the governance issue and the
Region is hosting a two-day retreat
in May to ensure councillors meet
that target.

Ecker does house work
Extra
duties
for MPP
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge
MPP was “very pleased” to re-
main the minister of education
and is ready for the challenge of
some new duties following a
major cabinet shuffle by Ontario
Premier Mike Harris Thursday.
“As you know, premiers and
prime ministers never ask,”
quipped Janet Ecker, Pickering-
Ajax-Uxbridge MPP. “If he had,
I would have said very clearly ‘I
want to stay here’.”
Mr. Harris did, however, in-
crease Ms. Ecker’s workload by
appointing her government

The Durham Region
Health Department is en-
couraging local residents to
‘Celebrate in the Right
Spirit’ by practising re-
sponsible drinking habits.
The health department is
presenting a ‘Celebrate in
the Right Spirit’ display at
the Pickering Town Centre
(PTC) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Feb. 13 to remind commu-
nity members to celebrate
Valentine’s Day responsi-
bly.
“Responsible consum-
ing and serving of alcohol
is something we should all
practise year-round,” said
public health nurse Heather
Tucker. “For instance,
Valentine’s Day is a very
special reason for many of
us to celebrate and this oc-
casion may often involve a
special dinner where alco-
hol might be consumed.
We’re encouraging every-
one to remember that re-
gardless of the reason, re-
sponsible drinking habits
should always be a part of
the celebration.”
Visitors to the display
will receive information on
responsible and safe con-
sumption of alcohol and
tips for serving alcohol at
home parties or other func-
tions.
Visitors will also receive
a free gift and have a
chance to enter a draw for a
Valentine’s gift basket from
the PTC’s Original Basket
Kase.
According to statistics
from the Centre for Addic-
tion and Mental Health, al-
most 80 per cent of people
in Ontario drink alcohol.
“For most people this
causes no problem. Howev-
er, statistics from Mothers
Against Drunk Driving
Canada indicate that drink-
ing and driving is the lead-
ing killer of Canadians
under the age of 40,” the
health department reported.
“A report on family vio-
lence in Canada published
last year by the Canadian
Centre for Justice notes
that 35 per cent of violence
in relationships involves al-
cohol.”
The health department
encourages Durham resi-
dents to follow these tips
provided by the Centre for
Addiction and Mental
Health:
• Never drink and drive;
• Never drink and oper-
ate a recreational vehicle;
• Drink no more than
two drinks on any day;
• Drink slowly; and
• Wait at least an hour in
between drinks and eat
food when drinking alco-
hol.

Flo Mennie, mother-in-law of Pickering Regional
Councillor Rick Johnson, received a special provin-
cial award as Ontario’s Senior of the Year in recog-
nition of her volunteer work. Ms. Mennie was hon-
oured at a recent presentation at Pickering City
Hall.
PICKERING —A
longtime Pickering volun-
teer was honoured at the
Civic Complex recently in
recognition of her service
to the community.
Flo Mennie was pre-
sented with the ‘Senior of
the Year Award for the
Year 2000’ by Pickering
Mayor Wayne Arthurs and
Ward 3 Regional Council-
lor Rick Johnson, who is
also her son-in-law.
The presentation was
made on behalf of the
Province.
“It’s wonderful,” the
71-year-old said. “I’m to-
tally surprised. I feel very
honoured.”
Ms. Mennie regularly
volunteers at the Pickering
Museum Village where
she puts on displays about
life in the 1830s.
She has also spent time
volunteering with the
Children’s Wish Founda-
tion, the Uxbridge hospital
and the Osteoporosis Soci-
ety.
“She’s been a great in-
spiration to our family and
to the community as well,”
said Coun. Johnson.

PICKERING —The Picker-
ing Public Library has received a
provincial award for providing ex-
cellent service to the community
through a Web site designed to help
small businesses here.
The library received the Angus
Mowat Award of Excellence from
the Ontario Library Association
during that organization’s annual
conference in Toronto last week.
The award was in recognition of a
Web site staff created,‘Starting and
Growing a Business in Pickering’.
“We have long recognized the
need for small business informa-
tion,” said the library’s chief execu-
tive officer Linda Linton, noting in
the past couple of years the library
has expanded its collection to in-
clude a greater number of re-
sources for entrepreneurs and small
business owners as well as partici-
pating in trade shows and provid-
ing information on registering a
business.
“We were trying to provide an
all-around approach to small busi-
nesses starting up,” she said. “One
thing that was missing was a one-
stop place to look for all of this in-
formation.”
Developing a Web site seemed
to be the obvious answer, she said.
“It was a partnership,” Ms. Lin-
ton said of the project, which was
completed in co-operation with the
City of Pickering’s Corporate Pro-
motions and Economic Develop-
ment Department.
However, she pointed out, “It
was initiated by the library staff.”
The Web site was officially
launched to the public in March
2000 and Ms. Linton reports, “the
response has been very positive. I
think the community has appreciat-
ed the proactive approach the li-
brary has taken to help small busi-
ness.”
The content of the site covers
everything from choosing the right
business to a self-analysis program
to help people determine whether
they have what it takes to be an en-
trepreneur.
The site also includes informa-
tion on financing, making your
business legal, sales and marketing
advice and the demographics of
Pickering.
The Web site was one of two
projects the library submitted for
this year’s awards,” Ms. Linton re-
ported. The other, which was not
recognized, was the Internet train-
ing program the library set up at the
Orchard Villa Retirement Resi-
dence.
“We’re the first library in On-
tario to have set up a site in a se-
niors’ residence for Internet train-
ing,” Ms. Linton said, noting the
award is the third the library has re-
ceived from the Ontario Library
Association in the past five years.
The library received the award
of excellence in 1995 in recogni-
tion of a job and career centre
which staff developed. In 1996, the
library was honoured with an
award for innovation for providing
local residents with a link to the
Canadian National Institute for the
Blind’s information database.
“Our staff are constantly think-
ing about what their users need,”
said Pickering Public Library
board chairman Jill Foster, who
credits the “phenomenal and in-
credibly talented library staff” with
the award.
“Whenever we find a niche we
think needs a little more in-depth
approach, we take a look at it and
see who we can partner with,” Ms.
Linton added. “We feel quite proud
to have won.”

A funeral service will be
held Tuesday for Roy Jones,
the Ajax man who was shot to
death three days before his
scheduled testimony in a
home invasion case.
A private service for the
slain Metro East Trade Centre
security guard
will be held at 11
a.m. at the Picker-
ing Pentecostal
Church on Okla-
homa Drive.
Stan Weathers
of Whitby, a close
friend of the vic-
tim’s father, said
Mr. Jones’s dev-
astated parents
are struggling to
cope in the wake
of their son’s
slaying and re-
main over-
whelmed with
heartache and
sadness. “I know
they are having a rough time.
It’s pretty hard for them right
now,” Mr. Weathers said Fri-
day. Mr. Jones’s two younger
brothers, approximately 10-
and 25-years-old, are taking
his death “very hard”, but are
holding up, Mr. Weathers
said. “They were close-knit
brothers. (Roy) would always
take care of the younger
brother.”
Mr. Jones, 28, a key pros-
ecution witness in a Pickering
home invasion case, was set
to testify Wednesday at a pre-
liminary hearing. He was
gunned down at around 10:25
p.m. Sunday just steps from
his Twilley Lane home.
Police, who have yet to
make any arrests, said Mr.
Jones was walking
home from work
when he was con-
fronted by one or
more people and
repeatedly shot as
he ran into Picker-
ing Beach Road.
His parents found
him dying on the
road.
The gunman, who
fled south on foot,
was described as
black, five-feet-
seven to five-feet-
11 inches tall, with
a slim to medium
build. He wore a
tuque and knee-
length brown or black jacket.
Police won’t say if they
believe the killing is connect-
ed to the upcoming trial and
note investigators are pursu-
ing “all avenues”. Homicide
detectives refused to release
any new details surrounding
the region’s first murder of
the year, fearing it could jeop-
ardize the investigation, po-
lice spokesman Sergeant Jim
Griepsma said Friday.
Police are appealing to
any witnesses who have not
yet come forward. Investiga-
tors especially want to speak
with an unidentified woman
who stopped at the scene fol-
lowing the shooting, spoke
with a distraught family
member and drove away be-
fore police arrived.
Mr. Weathers described
Mr. Jones as kind-hearted and
mild-mannered. “He was a
good-behaving kid, humble...
He was always quiet from
day one,” said Mr. Weathers,
a longtime neighbour who
watched Roy grow up while
they were living in Oshawa.
He said Mr. Jones recently
completed university, but did-
n’t know in what field of
study. The victim previously
talked of being a lawyer or
police officer and was well
liked by local officers who
dealt with him in his role as a
guard. “I just hope they catch
the (killer) soon, and that it’s
the right person,” Mr. Weath-
ers said.

Minister to work overtime
house leaders from the Liberal and
NDP parties.
“It is a daunting task to say the
least,” said Ms. Ecker, who appreciat-
ed the premier’s confidence in her
ability to handle the job.
“I’m prepared to work with my
opposition colleagues as I always
have been in getting legislation
through.”
Ms. Ecker said she would still be
in her Pickering constituency office
on Fridays to listen to the concerns of
local residents.
“One of the things I find helps me
do a good job in the legislature is to
meet and talk with people in the con-
stituency,” she said.
“Those are the people that em-
ployed me as an MPP and that I have
to be accountable to.”
The government remains commit-
ted to implementing legislation that
will fulfil its promises to the elec-
torate, such as fostering job growth
and making investments in key areas
such as health care and education,
said Ms. Ecker.
She said it was “great news” for
Durham Region that her colleague,
Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, had
been named minister of finance.

Vigilance
needed to protect
vulnerable
To the editor:
Re: ‘Latimer sentence outrageous,’
letter to the editor, Jan. 28.
Jo-Ann Lavery’s letter is very
disturbing as she credits no wis-
dom or insight to the couple who
loved and cared for two children
with disabilities, but credits Robert
Latimer with the perception to un-
derstand his daughter who loved
music, school, family and laughter
up until the day he killed her,
would rather have been dead than
disabled. I’m sorry, but Ms. Lavery
identified with the coward rather
than the courageous.
I spent the past eighteen years
caring for my daughter Carolyn
who had a disability similar to
Tracy Latimer, and whose care
needs were equally demanding. It
was sometimes very difficult. It
was often stressful. It was physical-
ly demanding and it was very ex-
pensive. The payback was an un-
derstanding of the beauty of the
human spirit that is clearly as diffi-
cult to teach as it is to learn.
Possessions didn’t matter to
Carolyn, only people mattered. To
love and be loved were her gifts,
and she shared them with anyone
who would take the time to sit with
her and hear her voice. Though she
could not speak, she was a girl who
had a lot to say. She was deeply
loved by her family and friends.
We cannot provide backbone to
those who won’t rise to the chal-
lenge of caring for a loved one. We
cannot convince everyone that a
child is equally delightful and
beloved despite disability or dis-
ease. We can however insists that
all Canadians will enjoy equal
rights under the law. The demand
for our vigilance is even greater for
those whose vulnerability makes it
difficult for them to protect them-
selves.

Your prime minister and mremier are
on a trade mission to the largest nation
in the world, a country primed for in-
vestment opportunities but with grave
questions about its treatment of its own
people. What do you do? Do you hope
your leaders can cut deals and establish
contracts that will lead to jobs and an
economic jolt for your economy? After
all, every capitalist country on the plan-
et is trying to make inroads in China,
trying to feed a market of more than 1
billion people.
On the other hand, reports Chinese-
Canadians are being threatened in
Canada because they are Falun Gong
practitioners is totally unacceptable.
Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms is
very specific in protecting freedom of
religion and freedom of speech. We take
these beliefs seriously and we must
make it clear to Chinese leaders that
anything done by Chinese nationals in
Canada is subject to Canadian law.
There is considerable pressure from
the hundreds of thousands of Chinese
immigrants in Canada, who still have
loved ones in the ‘old country’, that
Canadian leaders take Chinese leaders
to task on human rights violations.
Mr. Chretien has said on the issue,
“We’ve always had a very frank dia-
logue with the Chinese on the subject of
the problem of human rights. I intend to
raise these problems again.”
Just don’t expect Mr. Chretien to
make human rights the major point of
his trip. The large cast of business lead-
ers travelling with him to cut trade deals
wouldn’t appreciate it.
The main place to raise human rights
awareness remains the United Nations
where diplomats from any number of
countries can band together to pressure
the Chinese and other nations on human
rights abuses. Canada alone is going to
have little sway with a country that is
about 40 times our size. Combined with
European and United States muscle,
Canada stands a better chance of em-
barrassing China into reforms. It would
help too if Beijing was denied the 2008
Summer Olympics as punishment for
its lack of action in the decade since the
Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989.
This trade trip is necessary to contin-
ue Canada’s reach to expand markets
beyond the United States where nearly
80 per cent of our exports now go. Im-
proving our balance of trade around the
world is vital to our economic future
and a stronger Canada means a more in-
fluential player on the world stage with
more power to demand an end to human
rights abuses.

It’s time for the Region of
Durham to pipe up.
York Region has come under fire
from local residents and councillors
alike regarding its plan to build a
water pipeline through west Picker-
ing.
Hundreds of community mem-
bers have attended meetings, written
letters and spoken out in opposition
to the proposal, which proved to be
one of the biggest issues in Ward 1 in
last fall’s municipal election.
The City is on record in opposi-
tion to the project and Durham’s two
school boards are reportedly consid-
ering weighing in on the plan.
But, Durham’s upper-tier munici-
pality has yet to take a position.
And, with York’s draft environ-
mental assessment (EA) likely to be
in the hands of Ontario’s environ-
ment minister within the next few
months, it’s time now for Durham to
speak up.
Pickering politicians voted unani-
mously Monday to ask the Region to
support the City in its opposition to
the long-term water supply project,
which would see a water pipeline
tunnelled from Petticoat Creek Con-
servation Area north along Whites
Road.
“The Region should be an agent
of the lower-tier municipalities,” said
Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark
Holland, who pointed out it would
be “completely inappropriate for the
Region to do anything other than
step forward and support Pickering.”
That’s especially true now that
York’s draft EA is available to the
public for review and the Region is
expecting a response from the
Province this fall.
Residents have expressed con-
cerns about the impact of the
pipeline’s construction on their com-
munity and the safety of students in
the area who walk to school each
day.
The City, which learned about the
proposal through a media report
roughly three years ago, has fought
the plan since then, claiming it does-
n’t want to be a utility corridor for
other municipalities.
Still, Durham has remained silent.
The terms of reference for York’s
EA initially indicated the pipe had
the potential to meet the long-term
needs of Durham Region and the de-
velopment of an airport on the feder-
al lands in north Pickering.
However, York has modified the
project to delete any reference to
Durham and the federal lands.
Given the fact Durham has noth-
ing to gain from this project, there’s
no reason it shouldn’t support the ef-
forts of local citizens and councillors
by helping them in their fight.
Long line of concerns needs support
With nothing to gain from water pipe, Durham must speak up

Staff Writer
DURHAM - Everyone accepts it as a
given — you turn on your tap and water
comes out.
Clean water; safe water — at least
that’s been the experience with munici-
pally-supplied water in Durham. But
have you ever wondered what is done to
ensure our water’s safety, or where the
water comes from in the first place?
In the wake of the Walkerton tragedy
last spring, when seven people died and
2,300 became sick in an E. coli O157:H7
and campylobacter outbreak, municipal
water supplies have been under extreme
scrutiny.
But a trip to the local water supply
plant shows a system of extensive moni-
toring, on-line, in-house and through the
Regional Environmental Laboratory in
Pickering, an accredited facility.
Since 1996, the Region has also taken
part in the Ministry of the Environment’s
Drinking Water Surveillance program,
where samples of both raw and treated
water, including samples collected from
residences from many parts of the region,
go through about 180 different tests.
“The water we provide, we check it
out and make sure it’s safe,” assures Ron
Motum, supervisor of technical support
with the Durham Region Works Depart-
ment.
There are plenty of safeguards in
place, agrees one of his colleagues.
“The Region has taken water treat-
ment extremely seriously,” says Dave
West, of the Works Department’s
Water/Wastewater Operations Technical
Support Division. Testing is done at vir-
tually every step of the process, he adds.
“There is a ton of testing being done
to look at this water daily ... to identify a
problem before it becomes a concern,”
assures Mr. West.
Where does it come from?
The Region of Durham gets its water
from three sources: Lake Ontario, Lake
Simcoe, and 28 groundwater wells.
While the prospect of drinking water
that originated in Lake Ontario may not
thrill some residents,
Mr. West calls the lake a “good water
source.”
Intake pipes from the lake are a “con-
siderable” distance from shore and deep
within the water.
For example, at the Bowmanville
Water Supply Plant, the intake pipe is 1.3
kilometres out into the lake, at a depth of
12 metres.
At other, newer plants, such as one re-
cently opened in Ajax, Mr. West says the
pipe is out even further.
“It’s money well spent to get good
water at the source.
“Then, treatment isn’t nearly as criti-
cal or expensive,” he notes.
That’s not to say Durham’s drinking
water isn’t treated and extensively moni-
tored for safety, though.
Chlorine, one of the keys to water
safety, first enters the water picture in the
intake pipe.
That’s due to zebra mussels, which
can adhere to the inside of the intake
pipe, making it difficult to get water
through. In 1992, it was “decided by the
Ministry (of the Environment) that they
would inject chlorine into the pipe” to
get rid of the zebra mussels, says Mr.
West.
The system has been monitored, and
“it’s proved to be quite effective,” he
notes, adding divers are sent down occa-
sionally to check on the zebra mussel sit-
uation.
The water enters the plant, and goes
through a screen, which sometimes picks
up fish, sticks and stones, says Mr. West.
At that point, tiny dosages of a chem-
ical are added to the water.
“This chemical simply acts as glue,
and brings particles (of things we don’t
want in the water) together,” making a
large particle called a “floc,” which is fil-
tered out, explains Mr. West.
The next stage is filtration, which Mr.
West calls “a very natural process. We’re
trying to duplicate that, only much more
efficiently and rapidly.”
After filtration, chlorine is added to
remove any disease-causing organisms.
Some chlorine is left in the water to act
as a disinfectant through the distribution
system.
In areas served by groundwater wells,
nature takes care of most of the filtration.
In Durham, the works department some-
times adds sodium silicate to groundwa-
ter to deal with iron problems.
Then, chlorine is added, for the same
reason it is added to water coming from
the lake.
Chlorine: the good
outweighs the bad
Chlorine may affect the taste of water
somewhat, notes Mr. West.
“Some people don’t like the taste of it,
I know, but the down side (of not using
chlorine) is the Walkerton issue,” he
says.
Associate medical officer of health for
the region, Dr. Donna Reynolds, says
“treatment of the water supply with chlo-
rine has been a key public health inter-
vention,” which helps keep viruses and
bacteria out of what we drink.
There have, over the years, been con-
cerns raised about chlorine in the water
system mixing with organic material in
the water, causing trihalomethanes.
Though there had been concerns about
possible links between trihalomethanes
and some forms of cancer, Dr. Reynolds
says, “Health Canada has done a number
of reviews and have concluded at this
point that there is insufficient evidence”
to say trihalomethanes have caused the
cancers.
“The benefit of using chlorine to dis-
infect our water supply far outweighs”
the risk, says Dr. Reynolds.
The real disadvantage of chlorine in
the water is the taste, says Dr. Reynolds.
To reduce it, Dr. Reynolds suggests aer-
ating tap water in a blender, storing the
water in the fridge, using a filtre, or boil-
ing it.
Taste can also become an issue when
the temperature rises in the lake, causing
decomposition of algae.
That causes a somewhat musty, earthy
smell and taste to the water, usually in
the late summer, which lasts for a couple
of weeks.
“Some people are extremely sensitive
to it; some don’t notice it at all,” says Mr.
West.
The problem usually doesn’t last very
long, and is an aesthetic issue, the works
department says.
“It’s two weeks of the year that we
wish we could avoid,” Mr. West notes.
“But it’s not a health problem.”
From the plant to the tap
Water flows from the plant to a stor-
age facility, then through part of the re-
gion’s 1,912.7 kilometres of water
mains, to a copper connection which
comes into your home.
After that it’s simply a matter of
physics.
“Water is under pressure,” says Mr.
Motum.
“When you open the tap, water will
seek the easy route.”

Your tap: A little
cleaning job might
be in order
Extensive testing has shown
Durham’s water to be safe, say Re-
gional staff.
But a simple cleaning job can help
ensure we aren’t causing an in-home
problem with the water, says Ron
Motum, the Durham Region Works
Department’s supervisor of technical
support. It’s as simple as removing the
aerator found at the end of the tap, he
notes.
“It’s a good idea to take them off
periodically and disinfect them, be-
cause of splash-up from the sink,” he
says.
Immerse the aerator in regular
household bleach, then rinse it thor-
oughly, and “that will disinfect it fairly
quickly,” advises Mr. Motum.

Ajax doesn’t want temporary road access to be permanent
AJAX —Town councillors have
taken steps to ensure temporary
motor vehicle access to a housing
project here doesn’t become perma-
nent.
Members of Ajax council’s com-
munity affairs and planning com-
mittee on Monday approved an 85-
unit townhouse development in
north Ajax. One of the stipulations
is registering on title that a tempo-
rary access off Westney Road will
eventually be removed.
Yorklyn Homes wants to build
on a 2.4-hectare (six-acre) property
on the west side of Westney, just
north of Rossland Road.
The traffic from the Yorklyn
property will be channelled through
adjacent subdivisions once those
sites are built. No plans have been
submitted to the Town to develop
land next to the Yorklyn site.
Durham Region, which is responsi-
ble for Westney, normally wouldn’t
allow vehicular access onto the
road.
“I couldn’t even guess how long
(the temporary access) will be
there,” Town planner Ron Warne
told the committee. “We don’t know
when the lands to the west are to be
developed.”
Planning and development ser-
vices manager Brian Bridgeman
said, “I don’t anticipate any future
problem with closing up that (tem-
porary) road when the time comes.”
“I do,” Wards 3 and 4 Regional
Councillor Jim McMaster said.
Mayor Steve Parish agreed there
would be a problem in the future
when the Town tries to close the ac-
cess. “The original purchaser will
get notification, but subsequent
owners won’t,” Mayor Parish said,
adding the closure should be regis-
tered on title.
Yorklyn planning consultant
John Bousfield noted one of the rec-
ommendations is the erection of a
sign stating the access would be
temporary. The registry office is
“getting tough” about clauses being
registered on title, he added.
“We think the operative thing
here will be the sign,” Mr. Bousfield
said.
Ward 4 local Councillor Pat
Brown noted a development in her
ward had a temporary access that
was removed years ago, but she still
is asked why it wasn’t left in.
Councillors agreed a sign will be
erected at the temporary access, let-
ting motorists know it will eventual-
ly be removed.
Ward 3 local Councillor Randy
Low wondered if the Town was
“setting a precedent” by assuming
the costs of maintaining the sign.
Coun. McMaster countered it
“wouldn’t be massive. It’s not an
awful lot different than signs we
have up now.”

Crime Stoppers
Man sought in
Brougham store robbery
Crime Stoppers and the Durham
Regional Police need assistance in
solving a robbery in Brougham.
On Wednesday Jan. 17 at around
11:20 p.m., a lone male entered the
Beckers Store at 1688 Hwy. 7. An
employee, who was at the rear of the
store, came to the front to serve the
individual.
As the clerk approached, the sus-
pect lifted his sweater to show a
handgun tucked in his pants.
The victim, who was ordered to
empty the till, complied with the rob-
ber’s demand, turning over a quantity
of cash.
After an unsuccessful attempt to
open the store safe, the culprit fled.
He was last seen running east on
Hwy. 7, then north on Old Brougham
Road.
The suspect is described as white,
approximately 21 years of age. He
was wearing a dark blue jacket with a
hood over his head and black leather
gloves.
Crime Stoppers will pay cash for
any information that leads to an arrest
in this incident. Callers never have to
give their name or testify in court and
Crime Stoppers does not use call dis-
play.
Remember, Crime Stoppers is in-
terested in what you know, not who
you are. Our numbers are 436-8477
or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

When You’re Having New
Dentures Made, Go to the “Specialist”
Better Health ADVERTISING
FEATURE2001 2001
Because the denturist you see,
all he does is make dentures.
Your denturist is a dental spe-
cialist who makes complete and par-
tial dentures. He is the only profes-
sional legislated “specifically” to
make dentures. For service and “one
on one” contact with the person who
is actually making your denture, see
your local denturist for a consulta-
tion.
Do your dentures spend more
time in a glass than in your mouth?
A prominent biblical figure
whose patience was legendary, who
withstood pestilence and calamity,
was heard to say one day that the
only thing that got to him was “sore
gums”.
SORE SPOTS
The main reason for sore spots
is ill-fitting dentures - it is a combi-
nation of shrinking gums and den-
ture wear. See the person who makes
your dentures.
NEW DENTURES
You can expect some adjust-
ments the first month after getting
your dentures. It takes time to settle
into place. At the first sign of dis-
comfort, do not be alarmed. If it lasts
more than three or four days, contact
your denturists.
UPPER DENTURES
The upper denture is the
“good” guy”. The one that gets all
the smiles. The denture that causes
the least discomfort. The big plus of
the upper denture is its suction. The
air caught between the palate of the
denture and the roof of the mouth
makes an ideal suction cup.
LOWER DENTURES
Lower dentures have become
the “culprit” from much oral abuse.
Lower dentures are much maligned.
So much so, people tend to divorce
them from their partner, the upper
denture. The lower denture has
become somewhat of a misfit, and
seeks refuge in the most unlikely
places. Bottom drawers, bottom of
the bed, amongst lipsticks and
combs in ladies’ handbags, lunch
pails, back pockets, and if they have
a caring owner, submerged for eter-
nity in a denture bath.
You see the “lot” of a lower
denture leaves “a lot” to be desired.
ALL IS NOT LOST
You can have a “soft liner” put
in your lower denture. This is a “per-
manent” liner and will stay soft as
long as your denture lasts.
OTHER REASONS
Medication can give you a “dry
mouth”. This can cause sore spots.
Bone chips can appear many years
after the initial insertion. As we get
older, our body goes through
change, tissue becomes more sensi-
tive to pressure, which leads to sore
spots. Poor oral hygiene can be the
reason for denture discomfort.
Dentures must be brushed thor-
oughly after every meal.
TO EASE DISCOMFORT
Rinse your mouth with baking
soda or salt. Leave the offending
William Steil
D.D. F.C.A.C. (A)
denture out as much as
possible. You should brush
your gums, palate and
tongue with a soft bristle
toothbrush after every
meal and before going to
sleep. A sore mouth, if
untreated, could lead to
complications. If the prob-
lem recurs regularly, con-
tact your local denturist.
SERVICE WITH A
SMILE
Seeing a denturist
can save you money.
Denturist fees are afford-
able because there are no
cost markups or outside
delays. Make an appoint-
ment for full or partial
dentures, new or replace-
ment, refit or repairs.
Whatever your denture
requirements, see a den-
turist. A referral is not nec-
essary.

• Infant Hearing Research Speaks Volumes •
Hearing research at
The University of Western
Ontario is breaking the
sound barrier for newborns
in Ontario and around the
world.
Dr. Richard Seewald, a
professor and researcher in
Western’s National Centre
for Audiology (NCA), wants
to help children hear better
by improving early inter-
vention of congenital hear-
ing impairments. For the
last 20 years, he has worked
to successfully develop a
procedure that precisely fits
children’s hearing aids.
His computer software
package, Desired Sensation
Level (DSL), uses a mathe-
matical model that
improves the match
between a person’s individ-
ual hearing or amplification
needs and their hearing aid.
“Before this type of
software existed, audiolo-
gists used to say that fitting
hearing aids was an art, not
a science,” says Dr. Seewald,
who estimates that three out
of every 1000 children are
born with hearing impair-
ments. “I want to move it
closer to science, to a sys-
tematic practice, where peo-
ple can describe exactly
what they are doing.”
Dr. Seewald’s work in
the NCA involved years of
study to identify sources of
error and variation in the
hearing aid fitting process.
The resulting DSL soft-
ware enhanced their own
commercially available soft-
ware. Information is entered
into the program about a
particular child, and the
software helps a clinician
select the best hearing aid
for that person.
“Hearing impairment
is a hidden handicap in chil-
dren, especially when you
consider the average age for
identifying such a problem
is between 12 and 18
months,” says Dr. Seewald.
“Because we learn primarily
through the auditory chan-
nel, these children are not
developing speech and lan-
guage skills - all that time is
lost to them. Now we have
the technology to identify
the problem and to help
these children earlier, to pro-
vide support to their fami-
lies, and assist children in
taking advantage of their
full potential.”
The DSL software pio-
neered by Dr. Seewald is
currently used by more than
36 countries around the
world. It has also been
licensed to every major
hearing aid company in
North America, and more
recently, will play a major
role in early intervention for
many children in Ontario.
Last month Health and
Long-Term Care Minister
Elizabeth Witmer
announced Ontario is
launching a province-wide
Infant Hearing Screening
Program - an initiative that
ensures all newborns in
Ontario are screened for
hearing loss within their
first month of life.
A team of Ontario
audiologists, including Dr.
Seewald, Andree Durieux
Smith from the University of
Ottawa, and Martin Hyde
and Krista Riko from Mount
Sinai Hospital in Toronto,
were instrumental in bring-
ing this strategy to life. The
team will now consult with
the ministry in developing
guidelines and protocols for
fitting infants with appro-
priate hearing devices.
“Ontario has really
taken a role in this area,”
says Dr. Seewald. “It is a
huge initiative, and a suc-
cess story that I never could
have imagined when I start-
ed all this.”
The Ajax-Pickering
Audiology Clinic and
Whitby Hearing Centre
have embraced this technol-
ogy for over 5 years. Their
audiologists can identify
hearing loss in babies
between the ages of 1 day to
3 months and they can reha-
bilitate babies by the age of
six months.
“We are pleased to
offer and continue to offer
the Desired Sensation Level
(DSL) method to fit babies
and children who need
hearing aids,” says
Audiologist and Director, Lila O’Neill.
“This is a dream come true. We
have known for a very long time of
the importance to identify hearing
loss in the newborn.”
Lila obtained her Master’s
Degree in Audiology in 1978 from
Dalhousie University and was fortu-
nate to have studied under one of the
most renowned Canadian audiolo-
gists, leading in Newborn Screening
Testing and Protocol.
“The Rubella epidemic of 1975
left hundreds of babies with hearing
loss. We needed to detect hearing loss
as early as possible,” recalls Ms.
O’Neill. “And we needed the tools. A
huge newborn hearing screening pro-
gram was initiated at the Grace
Maternity Hospital, which I was lucky
to participate in, and over the years
the tools required to assess hearing
loss in the very young became avail-
able.
And now, with the help of anoth-
er famous Canadian audiologist, Dr.
Seewald, a procedure has been devel-
oped to rehabilitate using a software
program whereby a hearing aid can be
fit very precisely to the hearing loss.
“The government of Ontario can
be commended for its belief and com-
mitment that all children deserve a
good start,” says Ms. O’Neill. “And I
can only encourage all other provinces
to follow us in our mission of early
identification of hearing loss and to
early remediation.”

First, this is 100% digital hearing aid technology. And
what that means in quality of hearing is huge. Digital
sound is created by tiny computer chips that separate
each sound clearly and crisply. You can compare for
yourself by thinking how movies sounded 10 years ago
to going to a theatre today and hearing digital sound.
Custom fit, these digitals are available in several
models, including the virtually invisible CIC.
Behind-the-ear styles are available.

DEAR READERS:Sometimes in
my readings, I come across small, yet
interesting tidbits of information that
I know will keep your feet pain-free.
Anticipating problems before they
occur is the best way to maintain trou-
ble free feet, for there is no truer state-
ment than the one that says”when
your feet hurt, you hurt all over”.
Suffering from ATHLETES
FEET?When getting dressed in the
morning, make sure you put your
socks on first, before your underwear.
This will minimize the chance of
spreading the infection to the groin
and causing a jock itch.
When BUYING NEW SHOES,
make sure you do so in the later part
of the day to ensure a proper fit. Feet
may swell as the day goes on, so that
a shoe bought in the morning may
feel snug as the day progresses.
Studies have shown that CALCI-
UM does not directly affect nail
growth.
Greater attention should be paid
to feet in the WINTER with respect to
dry skin and the use of moisturizer
creams. This is because winter is less
humid than summer air. Women are
also more apt to wear nylons in the
winter.
JOGGERS should always
remember that the pitch of a
road is always higher in the
centre and lower at the curbs
(for drainage purposes). This
will affect the functional length
of the legs of a person jogging,
whereby the curb leg is forced
to be the longer leg. Change
the side of the road you are jog-
ging on halfway through your
run, in the same way you
would change the direction of
your run when jogging on a
banked track.
DIABETICS should
always take the time to dry
their feet well especially
between the toes, and should
cream their feet regularly but
NEVER between the toes.
Jogging with HEAD-
PHONES is a danger, as you
often hear what you cannot
see.
Acute injuries should be
treated by remembering the
acronym R.I.C.E. which repre-
sents Rest, Ice, Compression
and Elevation.
HEAT should never be
applied to an injured area until
the swelling has subsided.
Heat will cause blood vessels
to dilate, increasing blood flow
to the area causing more
swelling and possible tissue
damage.
During a kilometre of run-
ning, your foot will strike the
ground between 500 and 750
times with a force of up to 4
times your body weight. The
force depends on the length of
your stride and your body
weight.
The human body is made
up of 70% water, and its need
for water increases tremen-
dously with exertion. This is
because fluids are lost not only
through perspiration but by
increased breathing. FLUID
REPLACEMENT should occur
before, during and after the
activity.
FACT OR MYTH:Corns
have roots. This is a MYTH as a
corn is a build up of dead skin
against a bony prominence
because of shoe pressure. They
will recur even after being
pared down.
FACT OR MYTH:No
pain no gain. This is a MYTH
as pain is a signal sent out by
your body to slow down or
pay attention to a specific part
of the body. Continuing the
activity will only worsen the
problem, taking longer to
recover.
FACT OR MYTH:Gout is
a rich man’s disease. This is a
MYTH as gout can occur in
anyone who has difficulty
metabolizing uric acid. At one
time it was thought to occur in
people whose diets included
red meats and alcohol.
FACT OR MYTH:An
adult foot will never increase
in size. This is a MYTH as feet
can lengthen at least one shoe
size when the longitudinal
arch collapses. This is seen in
people as they age, gain weight
or in women during pregnan-
cy.

Evelyn Arbour is a
Registered Nutritionist and
is a guest speaker on the
“First Take with Dan
Carter” television show.
She is also someone
who has experienced
change in her life when it
comes to losing weight by
changing her eating habits.
“I know how it feels
physically and emotionally
to have a weight problem
and digestive disorders,”
she explains. “This experi-
ence helps me to work with
my clients so they can
achieve their goals.”
Evelyn has designed a 4
step program for her clients
that is easy to follow and
has resulted in long term
results.
The first step is a 1 hour
consultation. She finds out
what you’ve been eating
and how you’ve been feel-
ing. It’s a time to learn about
good and bad eating habits
as well as the differences
between good and bad
digestion.
Next you take home a
questionnaire. This helps
you to see which systems
you may be having trouble
with including digestion,
elimination and respiratory
as well as problems associat-
ed with vitamin and mineral
deficiencies.
Once this is done the
next step is to determine
whether you need a detoxi-
fication program.
“You may feel bloated
all the time, have bad breath
or feel tired all the time,”
says Evelyn. “Detoxification
is the body’s natural process
of elimination or neutraliz-
ing of toxins via the liver,
the kidneys, the urine, feces,
exhalation and perspira-
tion.”
This step of the pro-
gram also includes your eat-
ing plan based on your
needs whether it’s for detox-
ification, weight loss or
both.
Evelyn provides you
with easy and affordable
recipes and an individual-
ized eating plan which will
include herbal supplements
for detoxification.
She will also instruct
you on healthy food substi-
tutions in particular replac-
ing the 4W’s: white rice;
white flour; white pasta and
white sugar.
The last part of the pro-
gram is your maintenance
stage when Evelyn reexam-
ines your eating habits and
how you feel to determine if
you need to modify your
eating plan.

Following a Spiritual Path with Vegetarianism
Why Start
Tai-Chi?
For those of you who feel the
need to pursue vegetarianism you
are most likely following s spiritual
path. However, it is important to
have a nutritional consultation that
will support you physically.
You may be a non-meat eater
rather than a thriving vegetarian;
there is a huge difference!
When making the choice to go
vegetarian, do it right! Have your
sensitivity tested and know what
grains and meat alternatives you are
sensitive to. Then have a consulta-
tion to understand intestinal health
and what portions of protein, fats
and carbohydrates will be the right
combination for your success.
Weight gain and deficiencies are
often the case for those who don’t get
professional guidance. The bottom-
line whether you consume meat or
not, is to know your sensitivities. One person’s food can
be another person’s poison.
Karen Tazar does allergy/sensitivity testing and
nutritional consulting in Pickering (905) 837-6627
Tai Chi is a martial art that
makes use of very slow movements
that train balance and precise co-
ordination. It is a form of self-
defense. Yet, it is also a very power-
ful form of meditation that calms and
relaxes the mind. In fact, Tai Chi
works at three levels. At the physical
level it has powerful health benefits.
It improves circulation, respiration,
relieves stress and tension, and cre-
ates an increase in vitality. At the
mental level it improves concentra-
tion and brings about a profound
mental peace that helps to stop that
runaway mind that plagues people
nowadays. At the spiritual level Tai
Chi creates a sense of harmony and
deep connection that helps one’s life
flow better.
However, Tai Chi is also fun.
Learning Tai Chi is a rewarding and
pleasurable experience. Tai Chi
seems to attract warm and friendly
people. You’ll feel great after a Tai
Chi class and you’ll soon wonder
why you waited so long to learn Tai
Chi. You’ll start to notice how the
beauty, grace, and peace of Tai Chi
slowly begin to find their way into
the rest of your life.
You don’t need any special
training or to be in great shape to
start Tai Chi. So, you can begin at any
time. John Vervaeke is an excellent
instructor who combines great teach-
ing skills with a good sense of
humour and the friendly patience so
necessary for Tai Chi. We are current-
ly starting a Tuesday evening class at
6 p.m. Please call (905) 619-1405 and
register for your Tai Chi class.

Buying a home is a difficult
enough experience without the
problems of securing the financ-
ing to make it all possible.
The prospect of finding a
mortgage could mean visiting
many financial institutions in
order to find a desirable interest
rate and the subsequent approval.
Unfortunately this is the
mistake many people make -
shopping around for a mortgage.
Earl Willi is the owner/bro-
ker of Diamond Mortgage Inc.
and has more than 15 years expe-
rience helping his clients secure a
mortgage without wasting time
and hurting their credit rating.
“Every time you apply for
credit it shows up on your credit
bureau file and too many
inquiries will hurt your credit rat-
ing,” he says. “There is also the
time it takes to shop around and
most people are just too busy.”
As a broker, Earl will do the
shopping for you, contacting var-
ious banks and trust companies
that he does business with on a
regular basis.
“Once you fill out an appli-
cation for me and are qualified, I
will find the best deal,” he says.
“Most times 1 to 1.25%*off the
posted rate.”
You can have an application
faxed to you and you can fax it
right back to Earl or fill one out on
his website. He will also make a
personal visit if necessary. But
believe it or not you can apply for
a loan and be approved by fax
and phone.
“What’s even better there is
no cost to the client. No upfront
fees,” says Earl. “I’m paid by the
lender.”
In the U.S. more than 70% of
mortgages are secured through
brokers while in Canada it’s about
one-third but growing all the
time.
“Not only do you get the
best interest rate and maintain a
good credit rating but it saves you
time,” says Earl. “It’s a win- win
situation and the modern way to
get the financing to buy a home.”
Diamond Mortgage Inc. also
offers private funding for people
with sufficient equity in their
home.
“This is great for people
with equity but have problems
such as tax arrears, mortgage
arrears or bad credit,” says Earl.
For more information about
Diamond Mortgage Inc. call any-
time at (416) 739-6969 or visit the
website at www.diamondmort-
gage.on.ca

Plumbing Mart can now add value to your
home with a basement conversion
Plumbing Mart are leaders
when it comes to bathroom renova-
tions. Over the last 40 years they also
have established an excellent reputa-
tion and have since expanded their
specialty to include kitchens.
So it just seems natural to utilize
their talent and resources to create a
new basement for your home.
“We already have the best com-
bination when it comes to products
and people,” says Sam Beninato of
Plumbing Mart. “We ’ve done thou-
sands of bathrooms and kitchen pro-
jects so it makes sense for us to do
complete basement conversions.”
In the illustration above is a floor
plan of an in-law apartment they’re
working on. The photo shows the bath-
room that will be installed in the apart-
ment.
“We supply the products and the
people who will install fixtures and cabi-
nets as well as do the framing, drywall,
plumbing, electrical work, tile and
floors,” says Sam. “These are the same
people who have been completing our
kitchen and bathroom projects. The only
difference is that a new basement takes
longer to complete.”
Plumbing Mart will provide the
designs and even arrange financing OAC
for clients.
“There is a definite return on the
investment when you take into account
the rental income from the conversion. In
this example the owners have a positive
cash flow in excess of $500 a month after
taking into account the finance pay-
ments,” says Sam. “Also every basement
project is backed by Plumbing Mart’s 5-
year installation warranty.”
Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the
Plumbing Mart showroom is only 15
minutes from anywhere in Ajax and
Pickering. It's a short drive west on Hwy
401, south on McCowan Rd. to Lawrence,
go west two major intersections to
Midland and then just one block north to
Plumbing Mart on the west side.

Imagine going
through life never having
to wax, shave or tweeze
an unwanted hair ever
again? Sounds incredible.
Now imagine doing it
affordably, safely and
faster than ever before.
How?
The Laser Care Clinic
in Scarborough at 2235
Kennedy Road, employs
a brilliantly effective
process called IPL or
Intense Pulsed Light.
How does IPL remove
hair quickly and perma-
nently? It uses highly
controlled flashes of light
which are selectively
absorbed by hair-filled
follicles lying below the
surface of the skin. This
absorbed light heats the
hair, which damages or
destroys the regrowth
potential of the follicle.
All without damaging
the surrounding tissue.
This is a long-lasting
solution to unwanted
hair and is FDA
approved. This process is
a step beyond traditional
laser and requires fewer
treatments. And winter-
time is ideal because peo-
ple are recommended to
avoid the sun while
undergoing hair removal
as the underlying skin
will be sensitive to UV
for a few days during
exfoliation.
If you’d like to hear
more, book a consulta-
tion and test patch now,
just call (416) 754-9444
and ask for LIL. We’ll
take great care of you.

PICKERING —Perdita Felicien
has done it again — and again.
The Pickering native and member
of the University of Illinois women’s
track and field team broke her own
school indoor hurdles record while
competing in the annual Carle/Health
Alliance Illini Classic at the Armory
Track in Champaign, Ill. last week-
end.
Running in
her freshman
indoor season
with Illinois,
Felicien’s 60-
metre hurdles
time of 8.17
seconds in the
preliminary
heats bettered
her former
mark of 8.20.
Felicien, how-
ever, wasn’t
done. She then
broke her
record again in the final, running an
8.16 to win the gold medal in the
event.
Her clocking automatically quali-
fied her for the National Collegiate
Athletic Association championships.
Moreover, the time was a new Armory
Track record and is also the fastest
collegiate time in the U.S. this year.
“After the prelims, I tried not to let
the time get to my head,” said Feli-
cien, in a story
posted on the
university’s
women’s track
and field Web
site. “The goal
was the 8.17,
which is an auto-
matic ticket to
nationals. After
getting that time,
the pressure was
off. I think that
running on the
home track really
helped my per-
formances be-
cause I train on
that track.”
The Universi-
ty of Illinois
Fighting Illini
women’s track
and field team
will compete in
the Iowa State
Track Classic
this weekend.

SOFTBALL
ASSOCIATION
PICKERING —The
Pickering Panthers Lanatex-
Spintex Super 7 tyke select
hockey team overcame ad-
versity and exacted some re-
venge to take the champi-
onship at the 16th annual
Brantford Selects Tourna-
ment.
The tykes defeated a
tough Cambridge team 3-2
in the final. Brennan
Serville led the way with
two goals, and Michael
Wilkins, with overtime
looming, scored the winner
with 2:36 remaining. The
game featured furious action
throughout as both teams
went end-to-end in this ex-
citing and entertaining
game. Assists went to Jor-
dan Kotsopoulos, Patrick
Simmonds, Alex Fortin and
Kirk Thomas.
Goaltender Grant
Tamane was rock
solid in net, stop-
ping several
Cambridge
breakaways.
In addition to
several players
battling the flu,
the seven-year-
olds were without
the services of
top winger
Michael Walker
for both the semi-
final and final
games as he was
hospitalized with
a viral infection
after the tourna-
ment’s third
game. The Pan-
thers dedicated
the championship
win to Walker.
In the semis,
the Panthers
made short work
of the Jordan
Lions, winning
by a convincing
8-1 score.
Serville and Kot-
sopoulos regis-
tered hat tricks,
with single goals
to Taki Pantziris
and Simmonds.
Assisting were
Wilkins, Dylan
Morgan, C.J. Mil-
lier, Thomas,
Pantziris and Kot-
sopoulos. Tamane
and Dylan Hig-
gins shared goal-
tending duties.
Pickering
started the tour-
ney with a deci-
sive 5-1 win over
Welland. Kot-
sopoulos and
Wilkins each tal-
lied twice and
Walker added the
other. Assisting
were Wilkins,
Morgan, Tyler
Lyver, Michael
McGarry and
Serville.
In the second
game, the Panthers defeated
the Ridgeway Blackhawks
6-0. Walker scored twice,
while Wilkins, Lyver, Sim-
monds and Thomas notched
one apiece. Drawing assists
were Wilkins with two, Matt
Callahan, Morgan, Lyver,
Serville, Kotsopoulos and
Joe Doherty. Goaltenders
Tamane and Dylan Higgins
shared the shutout.
Pickering dropped a
heartbreaking 2-1 decision
to Cambridge in the third
game. The winning marker
came with just 24 seconds
remaining in the contest.
Kotsopoulos scored the lone
Panthers’ goal, assisted by
Walker and Wilkins. Hig-
gins was outstanding in net
to keep the score knotted at
1-1 until the dying seconds.

So the Montreal Canadiens have
American ownership. Imagine
that.
To some it’s unthinkable that a
fabled Canadian institution could
be purchased (for a tidy sum of
$190 million) by a Yank. Well
you know what? I think it’s
great.
People get way too caught up
in the business of sports. This is
an opportunity for long-time
suffering Habs’ fans to rejoice;
finally someone with an interest
in winning, not to mention the
capital resources to ensure it
happens, is in control of the
franchise.
Let’s face it, the Canadiens in
their current state are a mess
bordering on an embarrassment.
This, a team that has won more
Stanley Cups - 23 to be exact -
than any other team. But they
haven’t won the Cup since 1993
and they are on course for a third
straight sideline seat at playoff
time.
Never mind who’s pulling the
purse strings, fans should be
concerned with on-ice
performance. And if George
Gillett Jr. follows through on his
vow to honor the tradition of the
team and the community,
perhaps it is the first step on the
road back to respectability.
Heaven knows outgoing
ownership had different motives.
For me, as a youngster growing
up in Burlington, Ont., I used to
love the nights the Canadiens
were on TV. I was indifferent
toward the Leafs so the chance to
watch Jean Belliveau skate with
grace and presence. To watch
Henri (The Pocket Rocket)
Richard prove to anyone who
doubted that great things come in
small packages. To watch John
Ferguson define the role of
power forward. To watch J.C.
Tremblay flip the puck high into
the air and out of his own zone.
To watch Gump Worlsey and
Charlie Hodge defend the crease
like it was their life savings.
You didn’t have to be a fan of
the Canadiens to appreciate their
greatness and their legend. It
simply took a passion for the
sport.
And now the Canadiens have
new life. NHL commissioner
Gary Bettman has come out
strong in his defence of the sale
and has vowed the franchise will
remain in Montreal.
“I have been advised that it is
an expressed condition of the
proposed transaction and the
team will stay in Montreal,”
Bettman said, “and it is my
pledge that the condition will be
enforced explicitly. I could
conceive of no condition under
which a relocation of the
franchise would even be
considered.”
The way I see it, give
Canadiens’ fans victories. That’s
all they really want.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, February 11, 2001 PAGE 31 P
Bantams perfect in European exhibitions
Trip also included action at Switzerland tournament
PICKERING —The Pickering
Panthers major bantam ‘AA’rep hock-
ey team returned home with fond
memories recently after engaging in a
two-week tour of Europe, playing
against teams from Switzerland,
France, Austria and Germany.
The bantams played in a tourna-
ment in Switzerland and engaged in
five exhibition games during their Eu-
ropean tour in which the players were
accompanied by parents and siblings.
In all five exhibition games, the
Panthers emerged victorious. The
Pickering bantams bested the Austrian
team ‘VEU Feldkirch’ 5-4. A major
factor in the victory was the goaltend-
ing of Luke Chivers and Mike Flem-
ing.
The Panthers suited up against EV
Landsberg from Germany and
emerged with a 6-4 win. Leading the
scoring with a hat trick was Chris
Lovering. Greg Garrett, Stephen
Farmer and Cale Smith also scored.
Assisting were Matt Fettes, Michael
Watkins, Everett Hanna, Brian
Wilkins, Gordie Brettell, Stephen
Farmer, Derek Farmer and Matt Gart-
ner. Chivers provided the team with
solid goaltending.
The Panthers also defeated a strong
German team, the ‘Geretsried River
Rats’by a 6-3 score. No scoring details
were provided.
In France, the Panthers continued
their winning ways by defeating CSG
Strasbourg 7-0. Watkins, Lovering,
Stephen Farmer, Wilkins, Derek
Farmer, Hanna and Michael Tantsis
scored. Drawing assists were Watkins,
Brettell, Smith and Tyler Van Gijn. The
tough Panthers’ defence of Brian
Campbell, Gartner, Eric Neubauer,
Garrett, Hanna and Smith played well
in front of Fleming.
The Panthers played another Ger-
man team from Freiburg, winning 6-4.
Derek Farmer led the way with two
goals. Tantsis, Lovering, Brettell and
Watkins chipped in with singles.
Watkins, Campbell, Tantsis, Fettes,
Smith, Neubauer, Wilkins, Hanna and
Lovering all drew assists.
Although the Panthers failed to earn
a championship at the Switzerland
tournament, they played exceptional
hockey throughout. A highlight of the
tourney was a penalty shot awarded to
Neubauer. The defenceman made no
mistake on the shot against a tough
Swiss opponent. Neubauer also
demonstrated tough physical play as
he delivered one of the biggest hits of
the tourney.
The players acknowledge the work
of head coach John Fleming, assistants
Ken Campbell, Carl Chivers and Barry
Fettes for their efforts; manager Susan
Fleming for the extraordinary amount
of time put into the organization of the
international tour and for her fund-rais-
ing efforts; and the support and spon-
sorship of community businesses.

Mrs. Nieli's Heroes
Our Mother, Mrs. Nieli had been suffering with
Hepatitis C and Vasculitis for a very long time.
During this extended period of distress and
absolute need we had come to rely on the ex-
ceptional response and care of the Durham
medical community.
In times of critical care, when she needed to
be rushed to Hospital, the Paramedics were
there to ensure she was taken to the appro-
priate Emergency Department. Once she ar-
rived at the Emergency at the Rouge Valley
Health System-Ajax Site, she was greeted
with compassionate, caring and efficient Doc-
tors and Nurses, despite their crowded condi-
tions.
On a personal note we want to commend Dr.
Peter Campbell and Dr. Ron Lo for the expert
and kind way in which they treated our Moth-
er. They both maintained a very honest and
open relationship with the entire family.
We wish to thank all of the nurses and staff,
including Diane, Jill, Betty, Tracy, Joanne, the
"Sue's", Nikki, Marjorie, Donna, Mark, Marlene,
Heather, Mary Lou, Wendy, Jennifer, Sherri,
Laura, Kelly, Eleanor, Dorata, Delores, Kathy,
Lisa, Leanne, Mala and everyone else from 2
East/West and Emergency, that had the
pleasure to care for such a wonderful woman.
Thank you to all the personnel from Durham
Access to Care, VON and Red Cross who pro-
vided her in-home care.
We would like to particularly mention the ex-
traordinary ladies from Durham Hospice, Sally,
Elaine, Kim, who were so dearly loved by our
Mom, and became pillars of support for the
rest of the family.
We are very fortunate that she had the very
best of care from each of these "Heroes".
Of course, her biggest hero will always be her
husband, who was by her side each and every
day. He is best known around the hospital for
his dedication, his assistance, persistence, and
his "Tim Hortons treats".
Our Mom always has a passion for having her
family close to her, and we know that includes
all of the wonderful people mentioned above.
Thank you for making such a big difference
during a very difficult time for all of us.
Angie, Sandra and Tony
The Nieli Children
