Durham faces pipeline decision Tri-committee meeting will address York water project’s impact on Pickering BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Local resi- dents fighting to stop York Region from building a water pipeline through Pickering are hoping their campaign will get a boost from the Region this week. Regional councillors are meet- ing with York officials Tuesday to assess the impact of the proposed pipeline on the City of Pickering and Durham Region. “We’re hoping that Durham will join with us,” said Don Brooks of the Pickering Commu- nity Working Group (PCWG), or- ganized more than a year ago to oppose the pipeline plan. That citizens’group and Picker- ing council are seeking the Re- gion’s support in taking a stand against York’s long-term water supply project, which would see a water main constructed from Lake Ontario through Pickering and into York Region. The City has requested Durham join Pickering in opposing the pro- ject, but Regional councillors voted in February to defer a deci- sion until the Region’s works com- mittee had an opportunity to pro- vide councillors with a report on the impact of the proposed pipeline. Pickering Councillor and works committee Chairman Rick John- son said he expects members of Durham’s tri-committee, which in- cludes the works, finance and planning committees, will vote Tuesday to either support Picker- ing’s position or take a position of their own. The committee’s rec- ommendation would then go to Durham council on Wednesday, two days prior to the deadline, for public input on York’s environ- mental assessment. Should the Ontario Environ- ment Ministry approve the project, RICK JOHNSON Vote expected Tuesday. Contract for high school educators Catholic teachers ratify deal DURHAM ––Catholic high school teachers here on Tuesday voted 72 per cent in favour of a two-year, tentative agreement. Bob McDonnell, Durham sec- ondary president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Asso- ciation, said on Thursday about half of the members took part in the vote. The deal is retroactive to Sept. 1, 2000. “The turnout was low,” he said. “My interpretation would be the people who didn’t show, for the most part, would have accepted the offer.” However, while most were sat- isfied with the agreement, Mr. McDonnell said a fair number felt it was “weak” in the area of salary and the number of on-calls teach- See DEAL page 2 See PIPE page 2 PICKERING —Pickering coun- cillors are meeting this week to consid- er the City’s budget for 2001. The budget committee, which in- cludes all members of council, is scheduled to meet at City hall on Thursday to review the operating and capital budgets for this year. And, according to a budget overview presented to councillors ear- lier this month, the draft budget for 2001 calls for a 9.8-per cent increase this year, which equals an additional $75 per year on a home assessed at $200,000. The budget meeting is open to the public and will be held in the main committee room at 9 a.m. The committee will meet again Fri- day, if necessary. Copies of the budget and an execu- tive summary will be available at the meeting. The Pickering Civic Complex is at One The Esplanade. For more information, call the City at 905-420-4660. a raw water pumping station will be lo- cated in Petticoat Creek Conservation Area and the pipeline will be tunnelled north along Whites Road. Mr. Brooks said the PCWG has also been working with York on mitigation issues to ensure if the project does go ahead, the City and its residents will be compensated. But, he said although York has filed an EA that addresses some of the group’s concerns, the “community is not happy the risk has been mitigated sufficiently.” He maintained the project would re- sult in “too much residual risk”. Mr. Brooks explained residents liv- ing along the Whites Road corridor would experience an “awful lot of noise, dust and vibration” during the construction period. The group is also concerned with the truck traffic that would be travelling up and down Whites Road and with the safety of area children walking to and from neighbourhood schools. He’s hopeful if Durham speaks out in opposition to the pipeline it may carry some weight with the ministry before the Province makes a decision on the plan this fall. Meanwhile, Mr. Brooks reported the PCWG has had a good response to fliers distributed several weeks ago en- couraging local residents to write to Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker and the environment ministry to oppose the project. “We’re very happy with the re- sponse,” he said, adding community members can still provide input to the Province until Friday.

PICKERING —Two dates have been set for a hearing to amend the operating licence for the four laid-up reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will hold the hearings on Thursday, June 28 and Thursday, Aug. 9, both starting at 8:30 a.m. Ontario Power Generation has ap- plied to restart the four reactors on the ‘A’ side, which have been in a laid-up state since late 1997. Earlier this year, the CNSC approved an en- vironmental assessment, concluding there would be no adverse environ- mental affects by restarting the reac- tors. In late March, the CNSC approved 27-month operating licences for the ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides of the plant. The ‘A’ licence, however, requires the four reactors remain in a laid-up state. The public can present oral or written submissions at the second hearing date. Requests to participate, along with the text of oral or written submis- sions, must be filed with the commis- sion secretary by July 10. Both hearing sessions are open to the public. The CNSC is at 280 Slater St. in Ottawa. For more information or to file submissions, call Carmen Ellyson at 613-996-2026 or 1-800-668-5284, fax 613-995-5086 or e-mail interven- tions@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca.

Provincial court Judge Norman Edmondson on Tuesday committed Cosmo Joseph Jacobson to trial on charges of robbery, break and enter to commit an indictable offence, use of a firearm while committing an offence, wearing a disguise for crimi- nal intent, using a stolen cred- it card and two counts each of forcible confinement and possession of a controlled substance. A breach of proba- tion charge and third count of possession of a controlled substance were withdrawn by Crown Attorney John Scott. A pre-trial is scheduled for May 3 in Superior Court of Justice, Whitby. Mr. Jacobson is charged in connection with the violent home invasion-robbery of a mother and son June 16,2000 on Major Oaks Drive in Pick- ering. Police at the time re- ported a woman and her 20- year-old son were bound with duct tape, pistol-whipped and handcuffed by three men wearing handkerchiefs. The bandits, one of whom was armed with a handgun, took the woman’s bank cards and forced her to reveal her per- sonal code numbers. A preliminary hearing originally scheduled to take place on Feb. 7 in Oshawa court had to be adjourned after one of the Crown’s main witnesses, Mr. Jones, was shot to death outside his Ajax home three nights earlier. Police said Mr. Jones, a security guard at Metro East Trade Centre, was confronted near his Twilley Lane home by one or more gunmen while walking home from work, chased onto Pickering Beach Road and shot several times. The parents of the 28- year-old victim rushed out of their nearby home and found Mr. Jones lying in the middle of the roadway. He died at the scene. Durham homicide detec- tives have remained tight- lipped about the ongoing murder investigation and they have yet to make any arrests. Despite Mr. Jones’s death, the preliminary hearing was rescheduled and held over several days this past month, resulting in the judge’s ruling Tuesday. A pre-trial publica- tion ban prohibits reporting on any of the evidence. In other developments, Mr. Jacobson recently plead- ed guilty to one charge of breach of recognizance for violating the conditions of his bail. Following his arrest last year he was freed on $10,000 recognizance. On the date of the originally scheduled pre- liminary hearing Feb. 7, a family member asked to be relieved as surety and Mr. Ja- cobson’s bail was revoked. He is currently being held in custody without bail.

We All Benefit From Durham Hospital Expansion Patients Benefit Most Urgently needed hospital expansion will mean we can continue to meet our number one priority – providing you with the quality care you need, when you need it, close to home. Expanded, updated hospitals will mean access to state-of-the-art equipment and will put us in a better position to keep and attract the top quality doctors, nurses and health professionals we need. It also means a payback in terms of jobs and a stronger economy too! But it doesn’t stop there. Expansion will benefit patients most, for example: • Bigger and better equipped emergency departments • Life saving radiation treatment for Durham cancer patients • Increased availability of specialised services such as Alzheimer’s or after stroke care for seniors • Helping to ensure the region’s children can be treated for anything from broken arms to major childhood illnesses • A 50% increase in our ability to meet the needs of high risk babies and their families • Building larger, updated and modernised space will enable us to equip our hospitals with the latest technological equipment (e.g. MRIs, CT scanners, nuclear medicine) • Increased clinic facilities (e.g. day surgery, asthma care) available when and where you need them – making the best use of scarce hospital dollars. www.excellentcare.com www.lakeridgehealth.on.ca Benefiting from Excellent Staff, Nurses & Doctors Benefiting Durham Region’s Economy Durham Hospital Expansion - because it’s the right thing to do!

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser April 29, 2001 Considering hospital funding an assumption To the editor: Re: ‘Hospital proposal must be de- feated,’ Keith Gilligan column, April 22. I could not agree more with these comments. I have expressed my views on this subject before and cannot be- lieve Durham council is even still considering the assumption of a re- sponsibility that is not theirs to as- sume. Is this not much the same coun- cil that cried long and hard about the Premier Mike Harris govern- ment’s downloading to the Region shortly after the election of that government? It is, in my opinion, ludicrous for Durham Region to even con- sider placing such a burden on the taxpayers of this region. Whatever happened to the Ratepayers Asso- ciation of Durham Region? They are the ones who should be leading the fight. Why do we keep approving fur- ther residential development when we cannot accommodate these new residents in our hospitals? I have lived in this area since 1961 and it seems that since 1974, the municipal councils of the day have had a competition going to see which one could approve the greater number of homes. There was a promise made to Pickering Township Council in 1972 that the taxes of Pickering Township would not rise as a result of residential development. The Municipal Affairs Ministry of the Bill Davis government made the promise. What a bunch of baloney that promise turned out to be. I am now a senior citizen, re- tired and have sold my home and moved into a condo. There are thousands of people who have done the same, and my question to our Regional councillors is where do we go from here? Where we should go is after your political hides if this proposal goes through. How smart you were to put it off until after the election. John William Sr., Pickering Hardly a day goes by in which news about our precious publicly funded health-care system doesn’t get more, well... sickening. The latest is a claim by the head of the Ontario Hospital Association that the combined deficit of all the province’s hospitals in the coming year will hit a whopping $650 million. This comes on the heels of a recent $170- million bailout from Health Minister Tony Clement. And, it follows a vow by Premier Mike Harris that it will be ille- gal in future for hospitals to run deficits. Something’s seriously wrong here. The Health Care Restructuring Com- mission, set up soon after the Tories won office in 1995, made some tough, uncompromising recommendations years ago that were largely followed by the Province. The idea behind the com- mission was to find efficiencies in the system, to root out waste, to make hos- pitals more effective and efficient. Yet a few years later, after the Tories made the tough decisions to close hos- pitals, to reduce the number of unused hospital beds and to increase total fund- ing in the system to the most its ever seen, we’re in more trouble than ever. We have a serious doctor and critical nursing shortage. There are predictions that within a few years we will be short an incredible 110,000 nurses in this province. Somehow, even more money is needed, for salaries, for equipment, for buildings. It seems senseless, espe- cially now, that the Tories dispersed $200 cheques back to taxpayers when the $1 billion that giveaway cost could have been better used in health care. Such a decision we hope is a thing of the past and not to be repeated. While it’s clear provincial income and business tax cuts have helped to make the Ontario economic engine run, it might be time for the Tories to slow down the revolution and look at shoring up services. Privatization of health care on any large-scale basis will contravene the Canada Health Act and simply will not fly in Ottawa. The feds have made it clear - using Alberta as a test case - that privatization means one thing: no feder- al money for the system. However, the feds must be part of a solution to fix health care and provide it with the funding it needs to meet the challenges of the new millennium. It’s hoped the Romanow study now under way will provide some answers when the former premier reports to the Prime Minister in 18 months time. Until that time, Ottawa will have to help plug the financial leaks with some new money (not just replacing the money it removed from the system) and the Tories must look at ways to boost funding too. We can’t accept anything less. E-mail your comments on this opinion to shouston@durhamregion.com. EDITORIAL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What’s the solution to health-care misery? New look at funding formula, better organization needed to solve our woes If there is any easy answer to the debate about Durham Region funding hospital expansions here, it is this: There is no easy answer. Hospital officials in Durham have made an impressive — if repetitive — case for their dire need to grow with our communities in the region. Durham council has balked at the $100-million request that has dogged them since the issue was first broached late last summer. They are concerned, and rightly so I would suggest, that raising $100 million will handcuff them in meeting other regional obliga- tions. The Province, for its part, has agreed to kick in $216 million for cap- ital expansions, but has been soft on the idea of allowing development charges on new residential construc- tion to help fund these needed projects. At the bottom of the heap is the lowly taxpayer who will end up paying for all of this one way or another. So, who is right? Who is wrong? Are there good guys? Are there vil- lains? My family has had occasion to use the services of our local hospital and my experience has always been posi- tive. Officials at Rouge Valley, through their professionalism and dedication, are meeting the challenges they face with limited and sometimes dated re- sources. I agree they require this huge cash infusion to meet the needs of Durham Region in the future. I’m not sold, however, on the notion that $100 mil- lion from Durham taxpayers — the same people who will be approached through locally driven fund-raising drives — should foot the entire bill. This should hinge on the provincial government. The introduction of de- velopment charges on new homes con- struction specifically for hospital ex- pansions would be more palatable than the special tax levy proposed at Re- gional council. New residents bring new needs and help fuel further growth. Should they not help shoulder the monetary burden of hospital expansion? Surely develop- ment charges are logical in that con- text. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker has been wagging her fin- ger at Durham councillors over their responsibility in funding hospital ex- pansions, but she’s also offered a mea- sure of support in the push for an in- troduction of development charges. I believe a solution may lie some- where between a special tax levy on the population at large and an addi- tional development charge for incom- ing Durham Region residents. I don’t know if there’s a simple so- lution to such a complex problem. But I do know this: It won’t be found in the mounting piles of political verbiage, or at the end of a pointed finger, or even in the tears of emotional hospital offi- cials. It is there, though. Let’s find it. E-mail your comments on this opin- ion to shouston@durhamregion.com. The health-care answer is out there But creative solutions will have to be unearthed Steve Houston Managing Editor NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 29, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P More ideas, few details Province opens door to increased student testing, surveys BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Standardized testing for all grades, yearly parent surveys and ensuring students deserve to pass before being promoted to the next grade are the provincial government’s latest plans for the education system. Education Minister Janet Ecker out- lined a series of new initiatives in the legislature Thursday, many of which were different from last week’s throne speech. “These are additional announce- ments of our goals and objectives,” she said in an interview Thursday afternoon. But as was the case with the throne speech announcements, few details were provided. “Those will be coming in the next weeks and months as we roll out the next steps,” she said. Ms. Ecker said it has been standard practice to indicate the government’s commitments and goals before working with education partners to implement them. In its broad brush outline, the Province said it wants to ensure On- tario’s pupils are ready for the future. That includes ensuring schools promote only those students who achieve at an acceptable level. Ms. Ecker said that doesn’t mean a single test will determine if a student ad- vances. “Children’s assessments will depend on a number of written assessments as it does now,” she said. “That’s the key point. There’s not one single test.” The Province says recent testing of Ontario students, including the results of the Grade 10 literacy test, are proof more improvement to the education sys- tem is needed. To make it easier for par- ents and teachers to see how well pupils are faring in the core subjects, the gov- ernment plans to introduce standardized testing in every grade. But Ms. Ecker said those tests would not be the same as existing, provincewide testing of students. “What this doesn’t mean is the same kind of Education Quality and Account- ability Office test they do (in grades) 3, 6, 9 and 10,” she said. One of the announcements was time- specific. Beginning this November, the Province will implement yearly surveys of parents to determine how they feel about the education system. Ms. Ecker noted the government recently surveyed parents on school facilities. “We want to have broader surveys,” she said. “Our goal since we started our plan is to increase the role of parents and give them a stronger voice, not only in their own community but in the educa- tion system. The reason for testing, the reason for surveys is we identify the problems so we can fix them.” Ms. Ecker said the cost of more test- ing was well worth the price, since it in- dicates if the government’s initiatives are working. Test results are starting to show improvements, she said. “That’s taken a lot of hard work and commitment by our students, our teach- ers and our parents,” said Ms. Ecker. ®(TM) Trademarks of AIR MILES®International Trading B.V.

A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 29, 2001 BY BRIAN McNAIR Staff Writer DURHAM –– Sarah Ferencz has had enough — and she’s not alone. A 16-year-old student at O’Neill Collegiate in Oshawa, Sarah has played soccer since she was in kindergarten and developed such a love and understanding for the game she decided to get more involved — and make a little money to boot — by officiating in the Neighbourhood Association of Sports Committees (NASC) park league. But just two years after first clenching the whistle between her teeth, Sarah has packed it in, follow- ing a disturbing trend that has seen numerous young officials in just about every sport saying, ‘Enough is enough’. “I can’t say the pay isn’t good, because it is, but it’s not worth all the parents putting you down,” she said. In fact, she turned down an offer of more money — up from $12 to $16 for an hour-long under-14 game — to return to the pitch this summer. Little wonder, considering an in- cident last year when a coach refused to pay her at the start of the game and later threw the money at her after what he considered to be a bad call. “It wasn’t the final straw, but it re- ally got to me,” said Sarah, who also experienced plenty of abuse from sideline parents. “You just don’t do that to a person. It shocked me more than anything.” Walter Fernandez, referee-in- chief with Oshawa’s NASC soccer, says the organization is not having trouble getting new recruits, but con- firmed it is difficult to keep the young officials once they’ve experi- enced abuse from parents. Terry Gariba, who served as the referee-in-chief for the Pickering Soccer Club (PSC) for four years prior to becoming the club’s presi- dent for the past two years, says the incidents of officials’ abuse by coaches and parents have subsided in the past two seasons, thanks mostly to a zero-tolerance policy and stepped-up education programs on this issue. But, the problem hasn’t been completely eradicated. What’s more, the kids who “mouth off” at officials are getting younger with each passing season. “The thing that I have noticed, is (abuse of officials) is starting at an earlier age. Traditionally, it was 16- and 17-year-olds who were mouthing off, but now it’s starting as young as 10 years old,” said Gariba, noting that these 10-year-olds often engage in foul language. Gariba explained that this is, quite simply, a lack of respect for the officials and believes the kids engag- ing in this unacceptable form of be- haviour are learning it from their par- ents on the sidelines. “These kids are seeing what their coach and parents are saying on the sidelines. They think, ‘If my dad can do it, maybe I can, too’,” said Gariba, adding that two years ago, a parent was banned from attending PSC games. Gariba noted the club has com- bated the problem in two ways: The zero-tolerance policy for abuse of of- ficials and educational handouts that clearly state the expectations of play- ers and parents when watching or playing soccer. “We’ve had very few incidents in the past two years because of this,” he said. Also,new referees are given more hands-on training, which includes role playing on how to handle situa- tions with coaches and spectators. As well, Gariba said the club will quick- ly follow up on any problems report- ed by officials to ensure the situation is rectified. “It has worked wonderfully. The coaches now know we’re not going to let them get away with anything,” he said. As bad as soccer fans have be- come, they still don’t hold a candle to those in hockey. Ivan Locke, a supervisor and in- structor for officials in minor hockey and the Ontario Hockey Association, estimates one-third of new officials throw in the towel after one year and half within three years. “It’s the abuse — they just can’t stand it,” said Locke. “I’d like to see the only ones dropping out are the ones who don’t like it. It bothers me that so many drop out because of ha- rassment from parents.” Locke has been involved in offici- ating for 53 years, including 45 as an instructor and 30 as a supervisor. He takes his job very seriously and, as such, spends a lot of time at the rink watching games. He recalled with particular dis- gust a minor hockey game in New- market about five years ago, when a coach was so angry a penalty wasn’t called he challenged a player on the other team to a fight in the parking lot. The player was no more than 12 years old, if Locke’s memory serves. “I just shake my head and wonder why that guy even wants to coach,” he said. “The kids are out there to have fun and we have to realize that.” There’s the crux of the problem, especially with regard to hockey in Canada, where heroes are not in short supply. “In double A and triple A, all our kids are going to the NHL and be- coming millionaires by the time they’re 18 or 19,” Locke said of a prevailing mindset. Ray Baker, the Whitby Minor Baseball Association’s umpire-in- chief for the past 12 years, said en- rolment is up from 74 to 88 this sea- son, but agrees it is difficult to keep the younger umps onboard. Although he has witnessed his fair share of abuse — such as a po- liceman nearly getting into a fight with an opposing fan and tire-slash- ing threats from a group of Hamilton fans — Baker said baseball incidents rarely go too far. “I think hockey is worse,” said Baker. “There are more parents thinking little Johnny is going to make it to the NHL.” In Clarington, Paul Robinson, who has been assigning officials for rep hockey for three years, said “we don’t have a problem as far as guys walking away from the game.” He has a stable of 29 officials, and close to 10 of them officiate in the OHA, which he said is a benefit. He also added the minimum age for officiating rep games in Clarington is 18, which helps to deal with unruly fans, players and coaches. In football, problems are scarce, according to Bill Butcher, referee-in- chief for the Durham-York Football Officials. “Most parents don’t under- stand the game well enough to argue,” said Butcher, who is in charge of 52 officials. “Nobody I know of has ever reffed football and given it up because of abuse.” Logic points to a couple of rea- sons why young officials run into more trouble than adults: parents and coaches are more likely to try intim- idating those younger than they; and young officials lack the experience and courage to deal with it properly. “It’s definitely tough to keep the young guys with all the abuse,” said John Armstrong, a minor hockey of- ficial for the past 10 years. “With the older guys, it seems to roll off.” So, what can be done to keep the games fun for youth and to keep overzealous parents from spoiling it? Most associations are running clinics addressing such issues for their coaches, but it is the so-called fans most in need of the education. Gord Carey has done his small part. An emotional coach himself when he first took to the gridiron in Winnipeg more than 30 years ago, Carey penned a code of ethics that has since been adopted by the three local football associations he has helped found in Durham Region: the Ajax-Pickering Dolphins, Oshawa Hawkeyes and Clarington Tigercats. Among other things, it tells par- ents to cheer for both teams, allow the officials to do their job, support their children and, most importantly, keep it fun. “A lot of things could really, real- ly be changed or rectified with better communication,” said Carey. “All I’m trying to create with this code is a situation where, after see- ing a game, the players, fans and ref- erees all leave the field with a smile and you have to ask who won.” Unfortunately, such scenarios are far too rare. — with files from Al Rivett More young referees are calling it quits A.J.

Referee Bob Keenan prepares to officiate at a Clarington House League major tyke final game. This scene is played out in hockey arenas across Durham Region every winter weekend.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 29, 2001 PAGE 9 P Hospital has new high-tech weapon in treatment arsenal DURHAM —The Rouge Val- ley Health System (RVHS) now offers patients a less invasive treatment option for kidney stones thanks to the purchase of a new holmium laser. The $86,000 laser will enable urologists at the Centenary Health Centre, the Ajax and Pick- ering Health Centre’s partner in the RVHS, to treat kidney stones without making an incision into the patient. “For the patient, this technolo- gy means a shorter and easier re- covery,” said Dr. Henry Singer, chief of urology at the Centenary site. “With this technology, the pro- cedure is usually done on an out- patient basis, and most patients can return to their normal activi- ties after one day of rest.” Dr. Singer reported the holmi- um laser breaks down the kidney stones into pieces about the size of a grain of rice, which patients can then pass more easily. “Used properly, the holmium laser is very safe and very effec- tive,” he said. “The chief differ- ence is for patients afterwards, who can recover much more quickly and experience much less pain.” F O C U S O N B U S I N E S S P I C K E R I N G We have been offering easy to understand computer solutions for 7 years.

They can affect your marriage, your job, even your relationship with your children. But even worse is how they can affect you and your health. Many people find them- selves in financial hardship due to such things as divorce and sickness and need help. The stress associated with unmanage- able debts can be overwhelming. But there are options that can give you a new start and get you on the road to a life not con- stantly plagued by money prob- lems. Advice from a financial advisor, or a Trustee in Bankruptcy can be the first important step towards better management of your financial future. Robert Linder, Estate Manager of Harris & Partners Inc. has helped many people get out from under the burden of unpaid bills, harassing phone calls and overdue letters. “We can advise clients on the options available to them depending on their particular cir- cumstances,” he explains. “You can either declare Bankruptcy or make an arrangement by filing a Consumer Proposal. Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, a trustee or an administrator files a Proposal or an arrangement between you and your creditors to have you pay off only a portion of your debts, extend the time you have to pay off the debt, or provide some combination of both. “If this alternative does not work for you, and you're feeling "boxed in" bankruptcy may be the only way for you to get a fresh start’” says Robert. “One of the main purposes of bankruptcy leg- islation is to afford the opportuni- ty to a person, who is seriously burdened with debt, to free him- self of the debt and start fresh.” People who have come to terms with their situation and decided on a bankruptcy or pro- posal have realized they should have done it sooner and not when things got out of control. “Many discharged clients have gone on to lead successful careers and reacquire assets such as a new house and new car,” says Robert. “ This is a result of them properly dealing with cred- it and new debt within limits.” Your initial consultation is free. For more information about bankruptcy and proposal options contact Robert Linder at Harris and Partners Inc. Trustee in Bankruptcy at (905) 509-7007. Harris & Partners Inc. Offers Clients a Fresh Financial Start “One of the main purposes of bankruptcy legislation is to afford the opportunity to a person, who is seriously bur- dened with debt, to free him- self of the debt and start fresh.” Imagine going through life never hav- ing to wax, shave or tweeze an unwanted hair ever again? Sounds incredible. Now imagine doing it affordably, safe- ly 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 selective- ly 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. During sum- mer time people are rec- ommended 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.

May is Speech and Hearing Awareness Month (NC)-May is Speech and Hearing Awareness Month and it’s an excellent opportunity to raise public awareness of speech, language, and hearing disorders. Few of us know of the isolation and frustration faced by those affected by communication disorders. Speech, language, and hearing impairments in adults and children significantly affect the vocational, educational, and social well being of tens of thousands of Canadians. Sensitivity to the challenges faced by these individuals must be a priority in our busy world. The Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA) and their 4,000 members are working together throughout the month of May to generate public awareness to help encourage early detection and prevention of communication disorders and increase the public’s sensitivity to the challenges faced by people with communication disorders. Communication is one of the most vital elements in, and of, our world and that message is reflected in this year’s May Month theme “Communication Nation”.

The club’s goal is to pro- mote the spirit of Ajax’s youth and help out in the community any way it can. The club gives members a chance to learn valuable life lessons, says Drew. Members learn leader- ship and organizational skills and commitment, all of which will help them in the future, he said. The club is open to all high school students and meets the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. Anyone interested in join- ing the club or looking for more information can call Drew at 905-686-4007 or e- mail him at cfs_sniper@yahoo.com.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 29, 2001 PAGE 13 A/P Catholic trustees approve new draft policies Fund-raising, SCCs, code of conduct, among issues up for discussion by Durham board members BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Catholic District School Board trustees approved this week the first draft of five new poli- cies dealing with fund-raising, school community councils (SCC), a code of conduct, opening and closing exercises and access to school premises. Four of the policies discussed at Monday’s board meeting are being created or updated as a result of provincial initiatives, including the Safe Schools Act, while the fund- raising policy is a board initiative. School boards are mandated to set parameters for school councils, which have some flexibility in form- ing, for example, their own school code of conduct and council bylaws. Gerry Blake, elementary pro- grams superintendent, said the poli- cies have been sent to various union groups and each school council for input by the end of the school year. “These are very important poli- cies,” he told trustees. “We would ex- pect a response back from our vari- ous stakeholders by June 30th.” In an interview, Mr. Blake said the code of conduct and access to premises polices are required under the Province’s Safe School’s Act, and more policies related to safety are on the way. Chris Hurst, Oshawa schools su- perintendent, said much of what is contained in the draft SCC policy stems from provincial regulations. The draft policy states parents and guardians of children enrolled at a school will comprise the majority of a council. A minimum of six meetings a year is proposed, and no meeting could take place un- less a majority of members are present and they must be parents or guardians. Council members would serve a one-year term, and could be re-elected or reappointed for no more than three consecutive terms. “Under the old policy we had two terms of two years; now it’s a one-year term,” said Mr. Hurst. A council member after three years would have to step down for a year before seeking re- election, he said, noting the idea is to ensure new people have an opportunity to sit on a council. A non-Catholic, even if mar- ried to a Catholic and with chil- dren in the separate school sys- tem, cannot be a council mem- ber. However in such a case, the parent could sit on an SCC sub- committee, provided that at least one SCC member is on the com- mittee. The fund-raising policy states school principals are to ensure fund-raisers involve no door-to- door fund-raising or public so- licitation, and that written con- sent from parents/guardians is obtained for students under 18 years of age who will be in- volved. As well, the principal would ensure that no more than one major fund-raiser take place during the school year. “It becomes an equity issue around the system,” explained Mr. Hurst. “There are social and economic conditions in the schools that would find more than one effort prohibitive.” WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE A FRESH START Professional and Personalized Service Free Confidential Consultation CLARKE HENNING INC.

Everyone does this at home and we do it at Pickering Nuclear. Starting in late April, Ontario Power Generation will be turning its attention to cleaning the plant’s steam boilers. TO THE RESIDENTS OF PICKERING Spring Cleaning begins with Boiler Cleaning at Pickering Nuclear My name is Jamie Lawrie, Manager of Boiler Projects at Pickering Nuclear and I’m in charge of the plant’s boiler cleaning. It’s a pretty well known fact that keeping pots, pans or even a tea kettle clean can make them last longer. In the same way, we want to add years to the life of our boilers. In addition to preserving these valued appliances, this cleaning also helps our boilers operate more reliably by reducing the risk of future downtime due to boiler leaks. The process is completely safe and will have little impact on the Pickering community. You may see an increased amount of steam being released during ventilation. Some residents close to the station may notice a slight odour of ammonia. The entire operation will be monitored to meet Ministry of Environment standards and at no time, will health, safety or the environment be compromised.

Examine these excuses for a moment. Ask yourself “How do I feel?” Are you an ener- getic and focused as you should be? This is a question that many of us try to avoid answering, because the honest answer would be resounding: “NOTHING”. We have a list of explanations and excuses “I don’t have time, the kids ....”, “I don’t have the money, the house .... or I’m much to old to learn ....” and there are many more , such reasonable grounds on which we stay put. Examine these explana- tions for a moment. Ask yourself “How do I feel?” Are you as energetic and focused as you could be? ? Is there enough ‘adult’ stimulation in your day, or do you feel isolated, bored and find yourself getting less fit but a little more fat every day? Here you are, sipping your morning cof- fee, having just sent the kids to school. Pen and paper in hand, you’re making your list for gro- ceries and weekly errands, hockey practices and appointments. Add one more - this one is just for you: Yoga, Monday at 9:30 am, Tuesday at 1:00 pm or Thursday at 9:30 am, or Tai Chi on Wednesday at 2:00 pm. Lots of times to choose from, that wasn’t so hard was it? You just made time for yourself. With Yoga or Tai Chi on your weekly ‘to do list’, you are headed for well-being instead of losing your cool. Focus on what is within you. The flexibility and strength that comes with the practice of both Yoga and Tai Chi, will stay with you through life as long as you keep practicing. The flexibility of your mind, helping you deal with everyday stress and will also help to keep your mind active as you age. Yoga and Tai Chi are not just for the young, but for the young at heart. The slow movements are suited to many people, includ- ing seniors. We want to invite you to open up your day to include yourself in your calendar. Our day time classes at Greenwood are timed just right for people like yourself with children to be shuttled around. Why not come out to meet like-minded folk, looking for shared community and emo- tional and physical wellness?

She had a lot of practice at her former school in Whitby, School Section #8, a one-room schoolhouse long gone from its former site at the GO Transit station. “When you go through a school like that, you learn to be a teacher of yourself,” Ms. Miller said in an in- terview. The Stephen G. Saywell Public School principal was named 2001 Educator of the Year Friday, hon- oured at the Durham Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s Educator’s Breakfast in Ajax. “It means a tremendous amount,” Ms. Miller said in an in- terview. “It’s an honour to be recog- nized by your peers.” In her third year at the Oshawa school, Ms. Miller has spent 31 years working in Durham schools, starting in Ajax at St. Andrew’s Se- nior Public School. The challenges have become greater, she says, working in an environment where so much change is occurring. And, the kids have become more worldly, inundated with information that is as close as their fingertips. But elementary students still need the guidance of educators to understand that information and what it means to them, said Ms. Miller. And, while she has done a lot of teaching in her time, she’s learned a lot as well. “Experience has taught me everything,” she said. “It’s taught me to be more objective, tolerant, open-minded about kids and fami- lies and education issues. You can’t be rigid, you have to be flexible.” When asked what she most likes about the job, Ms. Miller doesn’t hesitate in saying “working with the kids. Seeing the kids come in happy to learn. Saywell is a very support- ive community. As a result, when the kids come to school they’re very motivated to learn.” The toughest part is dealing with conflicts, trying to arrive at the best resolution to problems, which in- volves “stick-handling” through the expectations of students and par- ents. The current education climate is one of political unrest, labour un- rest and philosophical differences, but Ms. Miller says educators have much to be proud of. “I think teachers can hold their head high,” she said. Durham ETFO president Bill Butcher introduced Ms. Miller at the breakfast, saying that in her ca- reer she has left behind “a trail of students, staff and parents all en- riched by their contact with her.” He added,“Today,as principal of Stephen Saywell P.S., Isobel has united her staff to work with and for the students under the continually mounting pressure felt in schools today. This week at our transfer of teachers the most desired positions were at Stephen Saywell P.S. The word is out in the system that work- ing with Isobel Miller is truly an en- riching experience.” Durham Regions 3rd Annual 1ST QUALIFYING SITE OSHAWA • WHITBY Ajax/Pickering The Community Newspaper since 1965 RULES: CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZESQUALIFYING SITE PRIZES • Hole in One wins Wilson Fat Shaft Irons courtesy of Cliff Mill Motors. • 1st, 2nd & 3rd wins...

Good Luck.” Grade Math Programs - You Do The Math Mathematics can be looked upon as a series of building blocks. You start by learning to count, and progress though the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, to such practical applications as measure- ment of length, area, volume, mass, time, and money. Rounding off the elementary concepts come estimation, interpretation of data, and problem solving. Only when these basics are firmly in place, can your child progress to more advanced con- cepts of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and finite math. As a life skill, the subject of mathe- matics must be suc- cessfully addressed for a child to be able to function in today’s environ- ment. The current Ontario math cur- riculum is challeng- ing and sets out very specific expecta- tions, which must be accomplished by the end of each grade in order to qualify for progression to subsequent grades. Having said these things, we rec- ognize that not everybody has a flair for math, nor is everybody expected to study the subject at an advanced level. It is, however, incumbent on all students to develop math skills to their fullest poten- tial in order to keep the doors open for pursuit of the many opportunities requir- ing competency in math. Grade Math Programs in Pickering are an excellent assistance program and is the best alternative to Kumon. The Grade Math Program covers grades one through ten and strictly adheres to the Ontario math curriculum. The Grade Math Program consists of fifteen minutes of home study five evenings per week, two evenings of instruction and all materials. The cost of the pro- gram is a very reasonable $70 per month, plus a $25 dollar registration fee. For more information, please call the Pickering Grade Math Programs at (905) 831-4643.

Game 2 was a defensive battle with Newmarket winning 1-0. The Panthers earned their date with the Redmen after winning their best-of- three series with Richmond Hill Stars two games to one. Six different scorers led the way in the series-clinching 6-0 win over the Stars. Bryan Cruse, Adam Turi, Andrew Dowdell, Kyle Fredericks, Perrault and Taylor Gray scored for Pickering, with Perrault and Cruse adding two assists each and Westlake, Turi and Ryan VanSantvoort adding single helpers. Matthew McMulkin earned the shutout. The Panthers scored a 5-4 win in Game 2, as VanSantvoort netted two goals and Perrault, Derek Savoie and Fredericks scored once.
