Home My WebLink AboutNA2001_04_25BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —Larraine Roulston’s tireless work on behalf of the environment is now officially an award-win- ning effort. The Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) honoured the Pickering resident, who pens the ‘Recycler’s Corner’ col- umn for the News Advertiser, earlier this month for her work in waste reduction. At the RCO’s 2000 Ontario Waste Minimization Awards on April 18, she was awarded the Committee Award, which is presented to members of the RCO’s waste reduction week committee who themselves have demonstrated outstand- ing waste reduction initiatives during the past year. She was also a finalist for the Out- standing Adult Award. “It was great because I was recognized by the people I think so highly of,” said Ms. Roulston in a recent interview. She added, “Without them I wouldn’t be doing this.” As well as being the author of two children’s books on composting, performing an RCO puppet show on the same topic at schools, and being active in many groups and committees, Ms. Roulston has been writing her column for the News Advertiser for the past 13 years. Ms. Roulston has been ac- tive in waste reduction since 1970 when she attended her first Pollution Probe meeting.

Sunday’s Ajax-Pickering walk was just one of numerous events held across Ontario, attracting 35,000 participants in all and raising $3.3 million. “I was proud to witness such an outpouring of support and community participation across Ontario,” said Alistair Fraser, president and chief executive of the MS Society of Canada. Among its services, the MS Society of Canada provides infor- mation seminars, educational workshops, support counselling, assistive equipment programs, social and recreational activities, in-home assistance, and self-help groups. The walk also supports the MS Society’s research program, which invests nearly $5 million annually into finding a cause and cure for multiple sclerosis. Old wells needed for monitoring by conservation authority DURHAM —Old, unused water wells can be put to good use in a provincial groundwater monitoring program. Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority is looking for such wells, on private property, that could be used as sample points in the groundwater moni- toring network. Approximately 400 wells across Ontario will be monitored by CLOCA staff for water levels and water quality. The informa- tion will provide baseline data about groundwater in the area and ambient groundwater condi- tions and give local municipali- ties information on which to base land use planning deci- sions. Anyone with an unused well is asked to contact Neil MacFar- lane at neil@cloca.com or 905- 579-0411. New.. Nokia’s Digital PCS Phone ® Rogers Communications Inc. Used under License. ™ AT&T Corp.

Pickering man wounded during basketball game New charges laid in Pine Ridge shooting BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —The alleged gunman arrested after the shooting of Teran Richards during a pickup basketball game earlier this month at Pine Ridge Secondary School is now facing 23 charges, in- cluding attempted murder and aggravated assault. Durham Regional Police seized a .45-calibre semi-au- tomatic handgun the night of the shooting, and officers scouring a field in north Pick- ering last week recovered a .357 revolver, believed to have been the weapon used in the incident. Police said Mr. Richards, 22, of Ajax, was playing in a pickup basketball game in the high school gymnasium April 3 when an altercation erupted between opposing players. Mr. Richards was trying to act as “peacemaker” during the scuffle when a spectator sud- denly opened fire, police said. The Centennial College student and aspiring police of- ficer was struck by four bul- lets, two through the back, and suffered damage to vital or- gans. He was rushed to the trauma centre at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre where he underwent life-saving surgery. He has since been re- leased from hospital. Police later learned a bullet also “grazed” the face of a 15- year-old girl who was in the gym at the time of the shots, Sergeant Jim Grimley said. After the shooting, which occurred during a youth drop- in program run by the city, the gunmen fled in a car. A vehi- cle was spotted by officers a short time later and during an ensuing chase, the car struck another vehicle and crashed in the area of Taunton and Altona roads.

Durham officials fear new GTSB Greater Toronto agency votes to strengthen its role BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —The Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) is on the verge of be- coming another level of gov- ernment that could threaten the ability of local municipalities to manage development within their communities. That’s the fear of several Durham politicians who are raising concerns about the de- cisions made by the GTSB last Friday. Board members met April 20 to decide on the future structure and mandate of the board. Their recommendations will be submitted to the Province for final considera- tion. Included among the mo- tions approved Friday was a resolution to strengthen the role of the GTSB to include re- sponsibility for growth man- agement in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Board members also agreed the official plans of the municipalities within the GTA should comply with the board’s growth management strategy. “What is going to happen in a place like Scugog is going to be determined by people who have never been here,” said Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt, noting in the long-term, local planning decisions could be re- moved from local municipali- ties; a move he called, “a big mistake”. He noted the resolutions passed Friday say that “the planning documents in Durham and in Scugog will have to comply with whatever decision is made by (the GTSB). It’s a big change.” The board also agreed Fri- day that it should be given the authority for co-ordinating transportation planning across the GTA as well as the respon- sibility for allocating funds provided by the federal and provincial governments for capital investment in trans- portation. The board would also have the ability to assume the re- sponsibility for planning “non- transportation” services — such as water, sewer or garbage — across the GTA if area municipalities agreed. “They could move into any- thing they wish,” Mayor Mof- fatt said of the board’s future powers. The board is also recom- mending it be granted the au- thority to create special pur- pose bodies, such as a trans- portation authority, to oversee portions of the board’s man- date. Mayor Moffatt reported while he “fully supports” the Pickering woman charged after officer hit by car DURHAM —A Picker- ing woman is charged with dangerous driving after a po- lice pursuit that began in Whitby when a fleeing car struck an officer. Durham Regional Police said the officer was trying to break up a large fight in the middle of Brock Street South at 2:40 a.m. Friday, when two men got into a vehicle driven by a woman. Police said that, as the of- ficer tried to stop the car from leaving he was clipped by the side-view mirror, but not injured. The car fled south and was chased for about a kilometre, police said. When the vehicle stopped, the passengers took off on foot and the driver was ar- rested. Rebecca Kapronzai, 22, of Geta Circle, is charged with failing to stop for police and dangerous driving.

Durham coun- cil had planned to hold the spe- cial budget meet- ing today but that meeting was can- celled last week when the Province granted municipalities an extension in set- ting their tax rates. Regional councillors will now give final consideration to Durham’s 2001 budget during their regularly scheduled coun- cil meeting at 10 a.m. on May 2. Council, how- ever, won’t re- view Durham’s tax policies, which were also to be dealt with today, until May 23. BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —The City wants to ensure Pickering benefits financially if York Region negotiates a deal to lease land for a pumping station in Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. The Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority’s (TRCA) watershed management advisory board voted last week to direct staff to negotiate a draft lease agreement that would enable York Region to build a pumping sta- tion in the conservation area located at the foot of Whites Road. The pump- ing station is just one aspect of York’s proposed long-term water supply project that would see a pipeline construct- ed along the Whites Road corri- dor. Pickering coun- cil, which is op- posed to that pro- ject, unanimously supported a motion Monday to request that any funds de- rived from such a lease would be directed “exclusively to the improvement of the waterfront lands or the watershed” in Pickering. “We’re asking that the money be put back into our community,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, adding if an agreement is reached between the two parties then the City wants the deal to be “worth- while in terms of net benefit”. Coun. Brenner noted the City had asked the conservation authority to support Pickering in its opposition to the project. And, he believes if a lease is negotiated, then the TRCA is “in fact by their actions... promoting urban sprawl.” Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland also raised concerns with the direction the TRCA has taken on the pipeline issue. He told his colleagues Monday he believes there is an “inherent conflict” in the fact that TRCA receives a large part of its funding from York Region and is “making a decision that has a di- rect impact on York Region. He added, “If they’re going to bow to York Region and allow this project to go forward, we should be seeing the dollars.” TRCA will address the issue at its board meeting Friday.

Marlon Maragh, 21, and Tyshan Riley, 18, both of Scarborough, were originally charged with a number of weapons offences and remanded in custody.

He is also charged with failing to remain at an accident scene, careless use of a firearm, possession of a restricted weapon with ammunition, unautho- rized possession of a restricted weapon, possession of a restricted weapon in a vehicle and dangerous driving causing bodily harm and flight from police causing bodily harm.

Speculation has north Pickering property exchanged for Gan Eden BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer PICKERING —Speculation continues over a possible land swap involving a controversial residential development in Uxbridge with provincially owned lands in north Pickering. The rumoured deal would see the Gan Eden property, for which a 2,500-home development has been proposed in Uxbridge, swapped for the Seaton lands, located south of Hwy. 7 and west of Brock Road. The Province might be warming to the idea now as it would lend sub- stance to its new ‘Smart Growth’ vi- sion. The Seaton lands were the subject of an extensive urban development study in the early 1990s under Bob Rae’s NDP government. Uxbridge resident Brian Buckles was part of the advisory committee that recommended the Seaton lands be developed as a compact, mixed- use community. He feels a possible swap would be beneficial in that the Province would gain moraine lands to be protected, and it would kick-start development in the Seaton lands. The company that owns Hwy. 407 is planning to extend the toll road through the Seaton lands to Brock Road later this year, he pointed out. However, Alexandra Gillespie, communications adviser to Minister of Municipal Affairs Chris Hodgson, said the Province could not comment on the matter as the Gan Eden prop- erty files are currently still before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). And Mario Cortellucci, a promi- nent developer attempting to pur- chase the Gan Eden lands from the current owners, Jay-M Holdings, has declined to comment. Stephen Diamond, the legal repre- sentative for Jay-M Holdings, said that company had once proposed such an arrangement to the Province when Tony Clement was minister of municipal affairs and housing but added the idea was not met with en- thusiasm. The speculation comes on the heels of news the Gan Eden develop- ment will be taken off the table at the OMB pre-hearing set for Uxbridge council chambers May 14. Mr. Diamond said he has been in- structed by Mr. Cortellucci to with- draw the OMB application if the land purchase is finalized by May 14. “The intention is not to proceed with the hearing if (the sale) hap- pens,” said Mr. Diamond, adding he expects the sale to be completed within the next couple of weeks. The 2,500-home development was originally referred to the OMB in June 1999. The development quickly became a flashpoint for community and envi- ronmental groups protesting residen- tial growth on the Oak Ridges Moraine. According to the Uxbridge Con- servation Association, an indepen- dent citizens’ environmental group, the Gan Eden subject lands are envi- ronmentally sensitive as they contain the headwaters of both the Uxbridge and Pefferlaw brooks. Durham Region and Uxbridge Township also expressed reservations at the development’s possible impact on available services. With accommodations for up to 7,000 new residents, Gan Eden would essentially double Uxbridge’s urban population. The two local governments are concerned Gan Eden would require the extension of the so-called ‘Big Pipe’, or the York-Durham sewage servicing system. Though Mr. Cortellucci has not said what type of development he will propose for the Gan Eden loca- tion, he did say he will consult with the public and is “willing to do any- thing that is feasible and is good for the area.” Gas leak forces evacuation in Ajax AJAX —A subcontractor digging fence-post holes severed a natural gas pipeline here yesterday morning, caus- ing an evacuation of several nearby homes. The incident happened around 8:30 a.m. at Pickering Beach Road and Twilley Lane, between Hwy. 2 and Mandrake Street. Pickering Beach Road was closed off for most of the morning, firstly as a precaution and then to allow Enbridge Consumers Gas crews to seal the line. Enbridge spokesman Mike Camp- bell said a two-inch natural gas line was severed by an auger. Crews sealed the pipe at 10:15 a.m., but spent the rest of the morning inspecting the line. Dozens of homes in the area were evacuated for about an hour as a pre- caution,Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson said. Also, a nearby school was noti- fied, as the wind was blowing west to east, carrying the gas’s odour towards the school, but officials decided evacu- ation wasn’t necessary. NP0440901 Copyright 2001.

Since then, she has been incorporating waste reduction methods into her own life, as well as that of her family. When her four children were young they used cloth diapers, the family saved newspapers for local Boy Scout paper drives and collected cans and jars to be recycled or reused. Even after all this, Ms. Roulston admits, “Lots of work always needs to be done.” She urges all Pickering residents to compost, noting it would make a major difference in the amount of waste the city produces. “You’d reduce your garbage output by about one-third,” she said. Always quick to promote the envi- ronment, Ms. Roulston noted she will be participating in International Com- posting Awareness Week running April 29 to May 5 and urges everyone to get involved and become aware of the role they can play. “Everybody has to be responsible in their own little corner of the world,” she said. RECYCLER from page 1 Recycler honoured by provincial group Durham school boards await word on education funding BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —School boards will receive more money from Queen’s Park this September and can spend the increase with no strings attached. Education Minister Janet Ecker last week announced education funding for the coming school year will rise by more than $310 million to $13.8 bil- lion. In an interview she said the in- crease would be in the form of a new, local priorities grant. “One of the concerns we heard in our consultations is that boards felt they were not able to address local pri- orities,” said Ms. Ecker. “What this does is say, ‘here is new money you can use for board priorities’.” However, she said boards still must be prepared to answer for how they spend the cash. A breakdown of how much money will be going to individual school boards is expected in a few weeks. Ms. Ecker termed the increased ed- ucation spending “a significant, im- portant investment in quality educa- tion, especially given the pressures that are on our bottom line this year.” Ron Trbovich, business superinten- dent at the Durham District School Board, said the 2.4-per cent-funding increase is welcome given the eco- nomic downturn in recent months. “I’m pleased that we got that much because I’m also cognizant of the challenges the provincial revenue pic- ture is under,” he said. The funding announce- ment and the board break- downs are a bit later than normal this year, but Mr. Tr- bovich said it would not have a big impact on the board’s budget preparations. Among the unknowns is how much the Province will provide for employee salary adjustments. Both the public board and the Durham Catholic District School Board hope to approve their budgets at June 11 meetings. But David Visser, business su- perintendent at the Catholic Board, said that date was picked in November and the schedule may have to be ad- justed. He suggested it was diffi- cult to comment on the funding announcement since the board doesn’t know how much money it will receive. “The details surrounding the grant calculation have yet to be released by the ministry,” he said.

Pickering Councillor Mark Hol- land raised concerns at last Wednes- day’s finance and administration committee meeting about the addi- tional $125 million the City of Toron- to recently found to offset its budget shortfall. The Province announced April 11 the City would receive $50 million for transit and transportation that the government owed Toronto. However, Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman also an- nounced that day that the City was re- ceiving an additional $75 million to- wards this year’s budget as a result of regulatory changes the Province had introduced. Toronto Councillor David Shiner, the City’s budget chief, explained in an interview the additional revenue comes from a variety of sources, in- cluding about $12 million from slot machines at Woodbine Racetrack and $45 million as a result of Current Value Assessment (CVA) adjust- ments. He reported the money was not the result of a bailout from the Province. But, Coun. Holland told his col- leagues Wednesday, “It seems suspect to me. “I have real concerns around (what happened in Toronto) and around the ongoing impact of downloading costs in our budget,” he said. “There is a need for relief. I think that from this Region, there has to be a strong mes- sage that goes back (to the Province) that we need some offsetting help. In my opinion, that’s what happened in the City of Toronto.” However, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said he spoke with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty re- garding the situation in Toronto and he believes the City isn’t receiving special treatment. “I don’t know if we want to get into a war with the Province over our budget,” he said. “The problem is, no- body knows the whole deal in Toron- to. “If we knew there was $75 million handed to Toronto, everyone would say. ‘Where is ours?’ I don’t think that’s what happened in Toronto... I think we’re going up the wrong hill if we’re going to fight for what hap- pened in Toronto,” Mr. Anderson said. There was no motion on the issue. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 25, 2001 PAGE 5 A/P need for an organization to co-ordi- nate transit and transportation across the GTA, he doesn’t support the GTSB becoming a decision-making body. “They all say it isn’t (another level of government). And if they’re all say- ing it isn’t then it probably is... if you give it those kind of powers then it’s a level of government,” he said. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle said the outcome of the meeting was “horrible in the sense that I think what’s been created is another level of government if the Province in fact de- cides to go ahead with this.” He added, “I think we’re going to see some very difficult times ahead.” He believes the resolutions adopt- ed on the issue of growth management “basically give them control over the whole growth process... all the devel- opment will have to go through the GTSB.” Meanwhile, Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs reported he was gener- ally supportive of the resolutions adopted by the board last week. “I believe it reflected the position our council took,” he said, noting Pickering had expressed “qualified support” earlier this month regarding the evolution of the board into a co- ordinating body that’s responsible for planning and services. “It’s now up to the Province to de- termine what they want to legislate,” he said.

In the recently released Fraser Institute’s ‘Report Card on On- tario’s Secondary Schools: 2001 Edition’, schools have been evalu- ated according to five indicators that are focused on English (or French), math and science and on advance-level courses. This focus favours private schools and public schools in rich urban areas. Vocational training is downgraded and insures the schools that provide these services will do poorly. No allowance is made for the local needs and strengths. No credit is given to schools and teachers who work and have suc- cess with troubled teenagers, with students from low-economic areas or with students who come from violent neighbourhoods. No credit is given for schools with a large population of non- English-speaking students and spe- cialized language programs for re- cent immigrants. No value is placed on schools that stress the arts or schools with large special- needs classes. Not only are dedicated teachers, who are working with students other than the high achievers, being denigrated, but inner city schools, vocational schools, schools for the arts, rural schools and schools not included in the report (many Durham schools are not included) are being held up to ridicule and criticism by the literal readers of the report. Most importantly, students tak- ing subjects other than the three that the report arbitrarily says are measures of success are placed in a lower category. It is telling these students that English, math and sci- ence are important and their inter- est in art, history, geography, job skills development, vocational pro- grams, etc., is second rate, if that, and not important in measuring the success of their school in educa- tion. Larry Noonan, Pickering EDITORIAL Social housing needs must be addressed New task force holds important mandate of solving problem Is university near? Durham’s long-sought goal may be on the verge of reality We’ve settled nicely in the burbs out here in Ajax and Pick- ering haven’t we? New homes going up in our communities, plenty of new businesses, wonderful waterfronts — everything you could want in a big community, but still small enough to retain our attractive small-town appeal. But as we’ve evolved socially, culturally, politically, some of us have been left behind. So notes Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, who says there hasn’t been any new social housing units built in Ajax and Pickering, or Durham for that matter, since 1995. Yet, waiting lists have continued to grow across the region to the current 4,700 applicants, some of whom can expect to wait up to five years for an affordable place to call home. Unimpressive and troubling numbers, to say the least. Which is why the recent decision by Durham council to es- tablish the Regional Chairman’s Task Force on Affordable/Sustainable Housing couldn’t have come at a bet- ter time. The group will bring together an alliance of building groups such as the Urban Development Institute and the Durham Region Homebuilders Association, along with the non-profit housing sector, to develop strategies to create sus- tainable and affordable housing in Durham. It seems like a formula for success: the individuals already planning new subdivisions and building homes in Durham working closely with those managing and overseeing the cur- rent stock of social housing. However, they shouldn’t be expected to tackle the chal- lenge alone. It’s not unreasonable, especially in light of the downloading from the Province to Durham, to expect assis- tance from the provincial government. The help can be in the form of funding, provincial resources or even individual ex- pertise. And for those living in Ajax, Pickering and around Durham, we should all keep an open mind in helping to create an positive atmosphere for building affordable housing. It’s important we all work together to make sure we are giv- ing a hand up - not a handout - to the growing number of peo- ple struggling to keep a roof over their head. This task force can serve an important purpose in identify- ing needs, looking for solutions and providing for the less for- tunate. Our communities will be more whole for their efforts. Somehow it would be perfect karma if Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, in his role as minister of finance, gets to break the news Durham will finally get a university. It may come to that, since Mr. Flaherty is set to deliver his first budget in his new portfolio May 9. However, Dianne Cunningham, minister of training, colleges and universities may beat Mr. Flaherty to the punch. Circle April 26 on your calendars because it could well be a historic date for the re- gion. Tomorrow, Ms. Cunningham may well announce, if the hints from Durham MPP John O’Toole are anything to go by, that Durham students will be able to get university degrees and college diplomas in the same facility. It has been a dream of Durham College president Gary Polonsky that his campus be a model for all of Canada. For more than a decade Mr. Polonsky, with help from a crack staff of top professionals, has worked hard to make Durham the best college in Ontario. Rated on a number of categories — from employer to student satisfaction as well as funding per student — Durham is near the very top in the province. From a ramshackle building in north Oshawa in the mid- 1960s with a handful of teachers and students, to the ultra- modern, multi-campus facility it is today, Durham College has proved it can meet and surpass the challenges of the 21st cen- tury. Now it’s time, and we hope the Province clearly sees this, for Durham to take that next step. The superb plan to combine administrations and to allow students to take a mix of college and university courses to get a diploma/degree is one that fits with modern needs. Students must get practical training and experience, along with cutting edge theory in order to be ready for the challenges they’ll face. The north Oshawa campus, which will grow north of Con- lin Road in the future, is well-suited to a major expansion. And with the double cohort (OAC and Grade 12 students) due to graduate in 2003, the time is perfect to establish a Durham University right now. We’ll know shortly what the Province has decided but, sit- uated nicely in the Greater Toronto Area in the midst of the fastest growing area in Canada, a new university suits Durham and the Province perfectly.

Submissions that include a first and last name, as well as the city of residence, will be con- sidered for publication. Small towns to many mean, mom, apple pie and homespun wisdom. Premier Mike Harris would like to put himself in there somewhere. The Progressive Conservative premier has started promoting himself as the guy from the small town who understands them and shares their virtues. One snag in this is Mr. Harris has acquired many big-city char- acteristics since he left North Bay for Toronto. But he told a recent audience “I’m from a small town myself,” and went on to say small- town people are honest, hardwork- ing straight-shooters who look after each other and stick together. The premier mentioned small towns have problems that need to be tackled, including not enough jobs for the young people who grow up there, but his message clearly was he is a small-town guy and people should vote for him be- cause of it. This is a tactic that was hugely successful in Ontario over many decades, although premiers have not tried it recently. New Democrat Bob Rae, Mr. Harris’s immediate predecessor, represented a Toronto riding and was clearly identifiable as a big- city intellectual with his fondness for book launches and ballet. Liberal David Peterson, al- though from a smaller city, Lon- don, was the quintessential big city yuppie with his glamorous ac- tress wife and dog Blueberry Muf- fin and he quickly settled in Toronto’s Rosedale and has never left. But only a little earlier, in 1985, Frank Miller was chosen Tory leader and premier partly because he was the only candidate not from Toronto, which many living elsewhere have consistently dis- trusted as having too much power and money and being full of glib city slickers. He defeated such ur- banites as Larry Grossman, Den- nis Timbrell and Roy McMurtry. His durable predecessor, Tory William Davis, helped gain an image as down-to-earth and solid by insisting at every opportunity he was from Brampton, although even at that time it had become virtually a suburb of Toronto. Mr. Davis dropped a reference to Brampton, usually good-hu- moured, into every speech. He lived on its Main Street and his favourite topics were Brampton, his family, the Queen and the Tory party in that order and his famous last words when he stepped down as premier were “Let’s go home to Brampton.” John Robarts, Tory premier be- fore Mr. Davis, also was from London and had the well-tailored looks of the big-city boardroom, but while premier, won some re- spect for refusing to move his home to Toronto. Tory Leslie Frost was called the Laird of Lindsay and thrived on an image of being the ap- proachable small-town lawyer, finding out what Ontarians wanted while sitting in the local barber shop. When Mr. Frost ran for leader, and like Mr. Miller defeated three candidates from Toronto, his sup- porters cited as one of his virtues that he was “a product of Ontario life outside the big cities”. For many years being from Toronto was so much of a handi- cap parties rarely chose leaders from this city and only three of Ontario’s 22 premiers have repre- sented Toronto ridings. The province has steadily be- come more urbanized, but about half of today’s ridings still include or consist mainly of small towns and rural areas, so they contain a considerable proportion of voters who may be susceptible to Mr. Harris’s wooing. But Mr. Harris has lost some of his small-town credentials. He lives in a ritzy high-rise on the Toronto waterfront where he is seen often with his girlfriend after his second marriage broke up, which is hardly the picture of serene family values associated with small-town life. His best friend through his time in elected politics, Ernie Eves, who was his treasurer and came from another small town, Parry Sound, quit recently for a $1-mil- lion-a-year job with an interna- tional bank and suitably luxurious digs in Rosedale. Like Mr. Harris, Mr. Eves re- cently filed for divorce and is seen squiring another former cabinet minister, Isabel Bassett, around town. The premier also rubs shoul- ders constantly with the Bay Street barons, who lavish him with so much cash to finance his elec- tions he makes the opposition par- ties look like squeegee kids. There is not a lot of the small town left in Mr. Harris. E-mail your comments on this opinion to shouston@durhamre- gion.com.

YOU SAID IT The question was: Do you think Canada is heading into a recession? If so, what are you doing to prepare for the possibility? Rob Ford said, “No, not a re- cession but def- initely a slow- down. I’ll cut back with less home renova- tions this year.” Lynne Gerritsen said, “All the compa- nies seem to be laying off and downsizing. I’m thinking about opening my own business.” John Van Beek said,“We’re in for a slowdown, but I don’t think it will be as bad as the last one.” 24 Hour Access 420-4660 cityofpickering.com420-2222 OPERATIONS & EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT NEWS ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 25, 2001 PAGE A7 P For Benefits of Regular Activity Join Us At the Recreation Complex Call Now 905-683-6582 It’s not too soon to sign up for Summer Camps or Learn To Swim 905-420-4621 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL For meeting locations, times or details please call 905-420-2222 cityofpickering.com Executive Committee Meeting Committee of Adjustment City Council Meeting May 2 May 7 May 9 For your convenience computer terminals have been installed in the foyer at City Hall.

What does the April 2 for 1 PROMO at the Pickering Recreation Complex bring? BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––The throne speech was just a taste of things to come that “will be very good news for Durham,” promises local MPP John O’Toole. The Durham MPP, speaking at a post-throne speech breakfast Friday, said there was news he was privy to but unable to reveal which has him “ab- solutely thrilled.” The news, he sug- gested, could cause controversy through the province but will “be good for Durham.” The announcement will be part of the May 9 provincial budget, he said. While the MPP wouldn’t elaborate, that hasn’t stopped others from specu- lating. “I hope the big announcement is the Durham University,” says Adrian Fos- ter, president of the Clarington Board of Trade. “I think it would be great for this area.” It could be controversial, he noted, because Durham University could provide a more practical degree than those offered by universities cur- rently. Mayor John Mutton also believes a Durham University announcement could be pending. “It’s probably a university. There was thought when the premier was going to announce it when he was here a couple of weeks ago. There’s been talk of education whenever anyone (from the provincial government) has been around.” In a separate interview, Education Minister Janet Ecker was non-commit- tal on whether Durham University will become a reality. Durham College offi- cials have been working towards a uni- versity for a number of years to, in the words of president Gary Polonsky, “give young people access to a full line of college and university programs other regions take for granted.” “The Durham MPPs are continuing to push for Durham College, to imple- ment the plan they want to put in place,” says Ms. Ecker. “I don’t know if we’ll be successful.” Mr. Polonsky welcomes the an- nouncement of a new institution and says he’s looking forward to more de- tails. “If you’re wondering if I’m hopeful if they’re considering the Durham pro- posal, the answer is ‘Yes’,” he says. Mr. O’Toole told those in atten- dance for the breakfast the Harris gov- ernment has not stepped back on its agenda of change. The government gave the public a chance to digest some of the changes of its first term but is now ready to forge on, he sug- gested. “People needed some relief from the very significant changes,” he said. “The media has characterized the pre- mier as having lost his momentum. Nothing could be further from the truth,” Mr. O’Toole said. The throne speech agenda “is a change agenda,” he added. “It’s a re-ig- niting a change agenda.” The three key components of the throne speech are “creating a pro- growth economy, fiscal responsibility and accountability,” he said. Mr. O’Toole noted the local munic- ipality cannot carry a deficit and part of the agenda is to make other public bodies equally accountable. “The municipality does a good job. There are those that don’t.” In the past, many hospitals have run in a deficit po- sition, he added. That will no longer be allowed by the government. Mr. O’Toole referred to the part of the throne speech which promises more tax cuts. He said part of the gov- ernment’s agenda is to be competitive in the global economy and “that means to be tax competitive. “You can’t ignore George Bush and he’s going to have a trillion-dollar tax cut. We have to be competitive for each of us, and our children, to have jobs in our future.” Mr. Foster says it’s hard to argue with tax cuts. “In general the business community is going to support tax cuts.” However, he cautions, the gov- ernment “is really going to have to keep an eye on the ball to ensure we do in fact have the economic growth it’s suggesting.” A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 25, 2001 Throne speech hints at good news here, says MPP ‘Very good news’ could be Durham University, notes Durham mayor JOHN O’TOOLE Big secret has him ‘absolutely thrilled.’ GM takes wraps off overtime at car plants OSHAWA ––There’s more good news for General Motors’employees this spring. GM of Canada will be starting up overtime at the No. 1 car plant in Os- hawa next month. “We have started some overtime in plant No. 1 due to strong increas- es in demand for the Impala and Monte Carlo,” said Faye Roberts, company spokesman. “There are six shifts added back in during the month of May and June.” The Saturday shifts are the first scheduled overtime at the car plant, which employs 2,500 people, this year. The company, in order to shrink its inventory of cars and trucks, cancelled all scheduled over- time at the beginning of 2001. Earlier this month, GM an- nounced it was adding eight over- time shifts at the truck plant, starting this week and running through to May 26. The car plant produces about 5,500 cars a week. The overtime will see another 500 cars added to that total each shift. The Impalas and Monte Carlos had good sales during March in the United States, where most of the vehicles produced in Os- hawa are shipped. While the workers at No. 1 plant look forward to overtime, the 2,500 workers at the other car plant, which produces the Buick Regal and Cen- tury and Chevrolet Lumina, will begin two weeks of layoff starting April 30. That’s also when production of the Lumina ends. The plant has been idle for four weeks this year and the No. 1 plant for one week due to in- ventory cuts. In order to deal with the reduced demand for vehicles, GM cut pro- duction by 25 per cent in the first quarter and is aiming at a 17-per cent decrease in production for the second quarter.

Composting Awareness Week was first established in Canada in 1995 as a means to promote composting and compost utilization throughout the country. Communities, local environ- mental groups, as well as composting facilities, organize events of rele- vance to their areas to promote com- posting. Backyard composting distri- bution programs, the opening of cen- tralized composting facilities, gar- dening programs, and tree planting events are just some of the many ac- tivities that have been part of the week’s events. This year’s theme is ‘Make a Dif- ference... Compost!’ and to launch local activities, the West Pickering Community Garden Committee will be hosting a work day Saturday,April 28, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Rougemount Co-op at 400 Kingston Rd. While at the community garden site, a member of the Pickering Waste Reduction Committee will discuss composting. For details, call John Doleweerd at 905-509-5418. Students in Pickering schools will have the opportunity to enter a com- posting word jumble contest draw. Winning schools will receive either a pizza lunch, compliments of Pizza Pizza, or the puppet show ‘Pee Wee at Castle Compost’ thanks to the City of Pickering. For Earth Weeks, which wrap up April 29, Pee Wee was invited to Lakeside Public School in Ajax. Any teacher wishing to book the presenta- tion can call 905-420-5625. Also scheduled for next week is a composting display at Pickering’s Recreation Complex where you can see red wiggler worms in action di- verting organic food into a rich fertil- izer for plants. Several schools in Durham now have vermicomposters as well as backyard composters and our youth will grow up comfortable with the concept. However, vermicomposting is not just limited to classrooms as it is an ideal way for apartment dwellers and office employees to be a part of the solution. A few years ago vermicom- posters were placed in 10 offices at British Columbia’s legislative build- ing in Victoria. International Composting Aware- ness Week is being celebrated throughout the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada this year, thanks to the combined efforts of the UK Composting Association, the U.S. Composting Council and the Composting Council of Canada (CCC). ‘Make a Difference... Com- post!’ “We are delighted to join forces with our allies in both the United Kingdom and United States in utiliz- ing Composting Awareness Week to promote the composting message,” said Susan Antler, executive director of the CCC. “While our efforts to promote composting are a year-round priority, the strength of our message and programs have been enhanced significantly through our annual Composting Awareness Week events.” To keep composting events going after the week’s activities have ended, on May 26th at 8 a.m., the City of Pickering will be having a one-day composter sale. Only 250 Earth Machine composters will be available for the subsidized cost of $20. In addition, free compost will be given away by Durham Region. The city will also take this opportunity to sell blue boxes and collect household batteries for proper disposal. In 2001, Make a Difference... Compost! Larraine Roulston Recycler’s Corner AJAX —Crime Stoppers and the Durham Regional Police need assistance in solving a taxi robbery in Ajax last month. On Monday, March 19 at about 7:30 p.m., the victim was in his cab at the Lincoln Taxi stand in the Ajax Plaza when he was ap- proached by a male wanting to be taken to the River Breeze complex in Ajax. As the fare en- tered the cab, three more males jumped in the back seat. The group directed the cabby to a location on Willer Avenue, where he was requested to stop. The cabby was grabbed around the neck by one of the trio in the back seat and robbed of his wallet. The culprits then fled on foot, heading south on Willer. The wallet contained a quantity of cash and personal documents. The first suspect is described black, 18 years old, five-feet eight-inches tall and 160 pounds. He was wearing a baggy grey sweatshirt, a tuque and woollen gloves. The other three suspects all wore baggy clothing and are described as black and in their teens. Crime Stoppers will pay cash for any infor- mation 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 display. Crime Stoppers is interested in what you know, not who you are. The numbers are 905-436-8477 or 1-800- 222-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers Police seek help in solving cab robbery AJAX —Emergency 2001. No, it’s not a sequel to the 1970s television show. It’s the 2001 Central Ontario Regional Auto Extrication Competition and Learning Sympo- sium that Ajax is hosting in June. About 20 teams from across the province and parts of the United States are expected to attend, Ajax Fire Chief Randy Wilson told coun- cil’s general government committee last Thursday. The event is being held from June 22 to 24, with the extrication compe- tition in the Harwood Place Mall parking lot, he added. “Fire service rescue crews will demonstrate their techniques in extri- cating victims from simulated motor vehicle accidents. This event will be an excellent opportunity for firefight- ers to demonstrate their skills and learn from each other,” Chief Wilson stated in a written report. Durham Regional Police, the Durham Regional Emergency Med- ical Services (the ambulance service), Enbridge Consumer Gas and General Motors Canada are being invited to participate, he said. The event will be self-funded, al- though any incidental costs would be covered by the fire department, the chief added. ‘Jaws of Life’ put to the test Ajax hosts emergency extrication competition Red Cross salutes volunteers DURHAM ––It’s time to recog- nize the more than 7.5 million volun- teers contributing to Canada’s 175,000 non-profit organizations.

Sean’s Ruber match a winner Little Brother taught to be himself DURHAM —For the past seven years, Tony Ruber and Sean Baxter have been getting together at least once a week to hang out and have fun. However, the most im- portant part of their rela- tionship is just spending time together. For his efforts, Mr. Ruber was named the 2000 Ajax-Pickering Big Broth- er of the Year. The award was present- ed April 18 in a ceremony at the Kinsmen Heritage Centre in north Ajax, at- tended by about 100 peo- ple. Rob Braid was also honoured as the 2000 Ajax- Pickering Mentor of the Year. When asked in an inter- view about what they do together, Mr. Ruber re- sponded, “Whatever can be done.” They speak or get to- gether at least once a week, he added. “It’s something to do to share the fun,” Mr. Ruber said. Asked if it’s it worth it, he replied, “Oh yeah. I just watch Sean grow up and mature into a man.” Sean, 14, said he likes being a Little Brother “a lot, it’s really fun.” He describes Mr. Ruber as “just cool and fun to be around. He has a good per- sonality.” In his essay nominating Mr. Ruber for the award, Sean listed numerous qual- ities in his Big Brother. “My Big Brother Tony deserves the Big Brother of the Year Award because he is probably the nicest guy I have ever met. “He tries his hardest each week to make time to spend with me and have lots of fun... Every time I go to his house, he makes me feel welcome and not afraid of anything. He makes me feel like a little brother of his own. “I enjoy having him around because there are so many more things we could talk about that I would be embarrassed to talk about with my mom... Tony has taught me so many things, just like when he told me to be myself and be a leader not a follower. He also said that no matter what somebody else says, just don’t listen to them be- cause they have to accept you for the person you are.” He concluded, “Tony Ruber is a remarkable per- son and I am glad to call him my friend and broth- er.” Tony Ruber (left) was named Big Brother of the Year by the Ajax-Pickering Big Brothers Association. He was nominated by Little Brother, Sean Baxter (right).

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 25, 2001 PAGE 11 A/P A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER april 25, 2001 Let us entertain you!The News Advertiser JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Two for the Show performers Rob Tyler (left) and Allan MacKay are com- bining their love of performing with the fastest game on two feet in en- tertaining lacrosse fans at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The Durham-based duo bring their irreverent brand of music and comedy to all home games for the Toronto Rock professional lacrosse team. One for lacrosse fans, Two for the Show Local duo rocks ACC at home games BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor AJAX —A local musical duo has been rockin’ the house with The Rock this season. Two for the Show has become the official house band of the Toronto Rock lacrosse team of the National Lacrosse League. And, so far, band members and Ajax residents Rob Tyler and Allan MacKay have had a blast, popping up in various sections of the Air Canada Centre to entertain the masses in attendance during breaks in the action. “We play in the stands... all over the stadium,” said Tyler, noting they have developed a loyal fan base. “We also run out onto the playing field with our guitars on.” Tyler said The Rock gig was pro- posed to the band through Molson Breweries, a sponsor of the team. It didn’t hurt that Two for the Show played at club president Brad Wat- ters’s recent wedding reception. Needless to say, the band jumped at the chance to be involved with the club, signing a two-year deal to en- tertain lacrosse fans both during the regular-season campaign and the NLL playoffs. Recently, Two for the Show played to its largest-ever audience, performing for more than 19,000 lacrosse fans at the Air Canada Cen- tre during one game this season. They’ll also be performing for an ex- pected full house at the champi- onship game at the ACC this Friday when the Rock meet the Philadelphia Wings. “It’s an honour to play in one of the best rooms in the entire country,” noted Tyler. “Promotional-wise, it ranks right up there with one of the best things we could have ever done.” In addition to playing in the stands, the duo will also perform the national anthems at Rock home games next season. Two for the Show has been a fix- ture on the Durham club scene for several years, entertaining audiences with their mixture of comedy and music. The duo released their latest CD ‘Radio Friendly’ at a CD release party at Durham College last June. The band is on the Internet at www.twofortheshow.org.

Rest well in heaven Lady in Red. ADVERTISING FEATURE BY DANA RADER Golf For Women magazine Here’s what’s great about golf: You can play in your own com- fortable style, and there’s no single best approach to any given situation on the course. Consider one shot every golfer’s faced before: 20 yards from the hole and just off the green that slopes down and away. Before you decide on pace, direc- tion and club selection, you first have to plan out a strategy based on your skill level and the risk you’re willing to take. Once you’ve picked a shot,select an intermediate target and let the slope of the green carry the ball to the hole. Here are three possible approaches. Go ahead, take the risk! High Risk:Lob. The lob, with your highest-lofted club, creates a shot with high trajectory and very little roll on land- ing for precise distance control. The risk, how- ever, is that a mis-hit could send the ball over the green. We don’t recommend this shot unless you’ve spent some time with it on the range. Key thoughts: Use a practice swing to feel where the club bottoms out. Open your stance by dropping your left foot back. Swing with soft hands and a steady, slow arm speed. Medium Risk: Chip. With a lofted club, chip the ball into the fringe to soften the shot and slow it down, then let the slope carry the ball to the hole. It’s crucial to visualize a landing area. This choice gets the ball off the ground with a sim- ple, compact stroke. Key thoughts: Move the ball back in your stance to help you hit the ball first, then the ground. Keep your weight over your left foot throughout the swing. Use a pendulum motion back and through. Low Risk:Putt. Putting can be a smart play even for a very skilled golfer. This choice runs the risk of a bad bounce in the tall grass, but you’re al- most guaranteed to get the ball rolling in the general direction of the hole. Key thoughts: Line up to the spot where the ball will begin to turn. Keep your eyes di- rectly over the ball at address. Make solid contact in the center of the putter head.

Number of votes:905 THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Considering changes at Augusta National are imminent, which would have the greatest effect? Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com TRIVIA Believe it or not, double ea- gles are rarer than holes in one. The reason is that holes in one are usually made on relatively short par-3 holes, which is easier than having to hit two very long and extremely accurate shots on a par 5, the second of which must go into the hole. 2% 62% Vijay Singh 3% Mike McCullough 33% Annika Sorenstam Tiger Woods ETIQUETTE&RULES Q:What’s the proper procedure when a player overshoots a green and a spectator behind the green deliberately deflects the ball back onto the green? A:The player must drop the ball at the spot where the ball most likely would have come to rest had the spectator not purposely deflected it.

GLOBAL WARMING Annika Sorenstam, who is making history on the LPGA Tour,once car- ried a not-so-friendly rep- utation, but the Forecad- dieis pleased to see she is loosening up. On being repeatedly asked about shooting 59, she replied, “I’d rather talk about that than if I shot an 89 and everyone kept bringing it up.” And regarding news that her victory in Los Angeles made her No. 1 on the career money list at nearly $7 million, Soren- stam, said, “I didn’t know about that stat, but that’s great. It makes me wonder where all the money went.” Hey, don’t we all. TAP-INS & LIP- OUTS Fanny Sunesson has reunited temporarily with her former longtime boss Nick Fal- do. She will cad- die for the six- time major champi- onship winner until her regular employer,Notah Begay III, coaxes his ail- ing back into playing shape. Also, cash ma- chine Chris Perry has hired caddie Jimmy Johnson, who was for- merly on the bag of Nick Price and Carlos Franco. ... The Forecaddie is wor- ried that competitors in the 2003 British Open at Royal St. George’s Golf Course in Sand- wich, England, might have to bring galoshes. Recent developments near the 12-time British Open venue are threaten- ing to change the links character there. Record heavy rains aren’t the only problem. A decision by the national Environ- ment Agency to raise the water table in the area has brought subsurface water to within 18 inches of ground level. ... Teen-ager Ty Tryon , who made the cut at the Honda Classic, has accepted a sponsor invite into the B.C. Open in July. ... John Daly’s golf bag looks like something out of NASCAR’s pit row.

More than ever, it appears Gary Mc- Cord is finished as an an- nounc- er for CBS at the Mas- ters. When the Forecaddie button- holed a highly placed network official a week after that little pro-am in Augusta, this is what he heard: “Could you imagine the media frenzy if Gary came back? Every single thing he said would be overan- alyzed and somebody would say he didn’t say anything funny in the first hour of the telecast. And they would say normally Gary does. And they would say he’s obvi- ously being muzzled. It would be unfair to everybody. At least for the first couple of days there would be as many people follow- ing Gary as there would be following Tiger Woods. “Life’s too short for that. There’s no upside for CBS, or the tele- cast, or the Masters.” TOUR IMPOSTOR Hang around in the grill room long enough at a PGA Tour event,as the Forecaddie does on a regular basis, and you’re sure to uncover an untold gem or two. How’s this: A golfer who failed to qualify Monday at the Advil Western Open last July actually convinced three veteran PGA Tour players to let him join them for a money game during a Tues- day prac- tice round at Cog Hill. The Tour pros told the man to act like he knew what he was doing and walk in- side the ropes. As it turned out, the man shot about 75, and the three Tour pros clipped him for $295. But they didn’t collect. “In- stead, we bought him dinner,”one of the pros told the Forecaddie.
