However, despite the com- ments, Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical of- ficer of health, said, “There is no cause for alarm for the gen- eral public... this is not a killer organism.” E. Coli is “a bacteria found in the normal human bowel and is necessary for digestion,” she said, noting the extended spec- trum beta lactamase (ESBL) strain, which is under investiga- tion, “has acquired resistance to some of these antibiotics. “The ESBL E. coli is not 0157:H7, which is the strain AT A GLANCE Travel Pickering via the Internet PICKERING — The Pickering Public Library has introduced a new Web site featuring local tourism information.

Durham board ready for the worst Lack of time with new curriculum likely to hurt Grade 9 math marks BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —A Durham education official doesn’t have high expectations for the Grade 9 math test local stu- dents are writing over the next two weeks. “We expect not wonderful results because these are stu- dents who have had only two years of the new curriculum,” Bev Freedman, programs su- perintendent at the Durham District School Board, said in an interview. She predicts the number of passing students will be low in Durham and across the province because of the lack of preparation time with the new curriculum, but believes the re- sults will be better after this year’s test. The high school curriculum is being phased in one year at a time, with new Grade 11 ex- pectations to be introduced this fall. The Grade 9 curriculum first appeared in the 1999/2000 school year. School board superinten- dents across the province had asked that the test be delayed a year so the students would be better prepared, said Ms. Freedman, estimating about 1,000 pubic board students will write the test.

Catholic school board budget doesn’t compute GRANT ANDREWS Funding represents ‘an extremely large challenge.’ First draft contains $2.28-million deficit; textbooks, computer spending may be cut BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s Catholic school board propos- es to rely heavily on reserves and cut spending on computers and textbooks by $4.2 million in the coming year. The first draft of the Durham Catholic District School Board’s 2001/2002 budget was presented to trustees at Monday night’s board meeting. The bottom line, business superintendent David Visser says in his budget report, is that there’s not enough money from the Province to meet the board’s commitments. “Given cost pressures such as employee compensation, commodity price increases (e.g. natural gas, diesel for buses), as well as a slight de- crease in the level of special- education funding for the com- ing year, it is clear the level of funding provided for the 2001/2002 year is not suffi- cient,” states Mr. Visser. Education director Grant Andrews cautioned trustees that it was the first draft, but noted to operate the board next year with funding provided by Queen’s Park represents “an extremely large challenge”. At this point last year, the board found itself in a $347,000 deficit position and anticipated using reserves to- talling $3.35 million. This year’s first draft contains a deficit of $2.28 million and projects using $11.8 million in reserves. Mr. Visser’s report noted the deficit position “does not in- clude the annualized effect of negotiated salary increases of approximately $750,000”, meaning more budget cuts are likely in the 2002/2003 school year. Board chairman Fred Jones found it hard to understand there’s not enough money to meet the board’s commit- ments. Mr. Andrews explained con- tract agreements with two em- ployee groups are in excess of revenue provided by the Province. The board has sealed a deal with its secondary teach- ers, who will receive a 2.5-per cent hike next year (4.5 per cent retroactive to last sum- Pickering girl robbed at gunpoint PICKERING —A 16-year- old girl was robbed at gunpoint walking to school during lunch hour last Friday, Durham Re- gional Police say. Police said the teenager was on Liverpool Road, near Bever- ly Morgan Park, when three men, one with a handgun, con- fronted her at about 12:30 p.m. The victim was grabbed, her arm was twisted and the thugs took her money before speeding away in a red car. The girl, who was not injured during the at- tack, returned to school where she then reported the mugging to police. The suspects are de- scribed as black and 16 to 17 years old. One wore a bandana, another a green jacket, while a third had a white and red jacket.

She reported the two pa- tients were admitted from nursing homes recently as a result of other medical conditions. “They are not in any danger and they are not a danger to other people,” Ms. Cronin-Wood said. “Anybody going into the room is gloving and gown- ing,” she said, noting the patients are being kept in isolation as a precaution and that the hospital is also “following really aggres- sive hand washing. “We are looking for and managing any patients who are presenting as positive for that test,” she said in reference to a test for ex- tended spectrum beta lacta- mase (ESBL) E. coli. That particular strain of E. coli, which public health officials have described as drug resistant, has infected more than 100 people in the GTA in the past 17 months. The bacterium only spreads through direct con- tact with infected feces, which can include contact with faucets or door han- dles that have not been cleaned carefully. Durham Region health officials have stated the re- cent outbreak does not pose a threat to the general public. But, Ms. Cronin-Wood said the outbreak stresses the importance “of good hand washing... always wash your hands.” She added the hospital has had a policy in effect for years that directs staff to ask patients upon their admission to the hospital, or even during a visit to the emergency room, whether they are coming from a nursing home or if they’ve been in another hospital fa- cility within the past six months. “If the answer is ‘yes’, they’re swabbed for a num- ber of bacteria,” she said, noting the hospital has been testing for ESBL E. coli since last summer. “We did have one elder- ly patient who died of pneumonia who had tested positive for ESBL,” she said. A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 30, 2001 Durham health officials battle E. coli strain that causes hamburger disease or the waterborne outbreak that caused illness in Walkerton just over a year ago. ESBL E. coli does not cause diarrhea, vomit- ing or other gastrointestinal symptoms,” she said, adding most people who test positive for the bacteria do not display any symptoms. “What we know is it’s not spread through the air, it’s not in the water, it’s not in the food,” she said. “It’s passed from one person to another,” Ms. McGeer noted. The strain of E. coli is transmitted through contact with the feces of an in- fected person, she said, noting precau- tionary measures such as hand washing and using gloves in long-term facilities are helping to curb the spread of the bacteria. “We have clearly reduced its rate of transmission,” she said. “I feel we are bringing it under con- trol,” added Dr. Reynolds. “We are monitoring for new cases regularly.” The drug-resistant strain of E. coli was identified in a cluster of seven pa- tients at a Durham hospital last July, Dr. Reynolds reported, noting further inves- tigation revealed a potential link to two long-term care facilities within Durham. She noted physicians in the Durham area were alerted to the ESBL bacteria in early August. Long-term care facili- ties were also notified and the health de- partment’s investigation “included sam- ple screening at all Durham Region hos- pitals and long-term care facilities,” she said, noting the first carriers of the bac- teria were traced back to as early as De- cember 1999. “As of May 22, over a period of 17 months, there are now 93 residents with ESBL E. coli in Durham Region,” Dr. Reynolds said. “Twenty-one have cleared the ESBL E. coli on their own; four people may have had the organism as a contributing factor in their death, along with other serious medical condi- tions, and another 21 elderly people have died who were at one time ESBL carriers but we have no reason to sug- gest ESBL as a contributing cause of death.” Of the four deaths here, pneumonia was a factor in three cases, Dr. Reynolds said, noting in the fourth case, the E. coli bacteria had entered the individ- ual’s blood. The strain has also spread into York Region said Bill Mindell, director of in- fectious disease control with the York Region Health Services Department, who reported the Region began an in- vestigation on May 11 to try and deter- mine the extent of the outbreak. Here in Durham, individuals in eight facilities have been impacted, said Dr. Reynolds who would not confirm whether all of those sites were health- care facilities or seniors’facilities. “I will not label any specific institu- tion or facility,” she said.

Pickering representative calls it longtime practice of public board BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Whitby Trustee Doug Ross on Monday accused six of his colleagues of holding a secret, special board meeting to which all trustees were not invited. The meeting took place May 14 at the Education Centre in Whitby. Some trustees had asked for the meeting to finish business from the May 7 standing committee agenda, since that meeting was cut short by Trustee Ross’s motion to adjourn. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said five trustees requested the spe- cial meeting, but after phoning other trustees, who had conflicts, she de- cided not to agree to it. “I’m disappointed,” she said in an interview. “I’m very disappointed be- cause here you had six trustees who pulled together and performed ac- tions of the board. What’s to stop something further from happening?” The members who met are Ajax trustees Melinda Crawford and Mari- lyn Crawford, Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford, Oshawa trustees Cynthia Steffen and Susan Shetler, and Scu- gog Trustee Martin Demmers. Trustee Roy said the trustees in question were dealt with according to the board’s Bylaw No. 9, Breach Of Code Of Conduct, but would not say how. The bylaw describes the conse- quences for trustees who violate the board’s Code of Conduct. It states the board chairman can issue a verbal warning or a formal letter of censure to a trustee without requiring a reso- lution of the board. Last Monday night’s blow-up echoed an ongoing dispute amongst trustees over a March 19 suspension appeals committee meeting, attended by four trustees. Scugog Trustee Mar- tin Demmers claimed it was illegal for those trustees to act on behalf of the board because they did not consti- tute a quorum. The committee’s ac- tions later went to the full board and were approved. Again Monday night, Trustee Demmers called for a Min- istry of Education opinion on the le- gality of holding the meeting, which sparked an outburst from Trustee Ross. “That same trustee has been part of a group that met secretly and did not notify the public,” he said, refer- ring to the May 14 meeting. Trustee Paul Crawford said such meetings “have been the practice of this board for as long as I’ve been here” and defended the actions of the trustees. “The meeting that he’s referring to was called by six, six, six trustees, which is a quorum, and was asked for by five, five, five trustees,” he said. Trustee Ross claimed he and other trustees were not invited, which Trustee Paul Crawford denied. In an interview, Trustee Ross said while he was queried on holding a meeting, he was not informed it would take place. Trustee Roy said some trustees misunderstood what was required to call a special board meeting, but sug- gested others knew full well what they were doing. Five trustees must in writing call for the special meeting, which must be approved by the chair, who be- comes the sixth trustee, constituting a quorum. As well, a special board meeting is called to deal with a spe- cific item. Trustee Melinda Crawford defend- ed herself against allegations of a se- cret meeting. “Trustee Ross decided to spurt this out and therefore I will challenge him on it and I will consult a lawyer,” she said at the meeting. In an interview after the meeting, she pointed to relevant board policies as proof nothing was done incorrect- ly. However, after speaking with Trustee Ross, she wasn’t as sure. “If I screwed up I will apologize,” said Trustee Melinda Crawford. Trustee Marilyn Crawford chaired the May 14 meeting, attended by no board staff, with Trustee Demmers acting as recording secretary. “It was a mistake,” she said of at- tending the meeting in a subsequent interview. “It was just an honest mistake. I had no idea of the implications of what we were doing.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 30, 2001 PAGE 3 A/P Durham public board trustees defend ‘secret’ meeting ELIZABETH ROY ‘What’s to stop something further from happening?’ OFFICE XP UPGRADE YOUR OFFICE with the NEW Microsoft Office XP!

But Durham District School Board officials are concerned there may not be enough high school teachers in the class- room. “We haven’t got the response that we wanted,” operations su- perintendent Norm Powers said in an interview. “The pink list- ing is doing its job.” Mr. Powers was referring to a ‘Pink Letter’issued by the On- tario Secondary School Teach- ers’ Association (OSSTF) to its members, advising them “not to apply for or accept any teaching position or position of added re- sponsibility in the regular day school programs” at the board until a collective agreement is reached. Teachers can face penalties from the OSSTF for doing so. “We’re going ahead and planning this and hoping it’s going to run and we’ll have an alternate plan if we have a diffi- culty with the staffing issue,” said Mr. Powers. He said local teachers are being urged by OSSTF not to apply for summer school teaching positions. Shelley Page, Durham OSSTF president, did not return repeated calls Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. Powers plans to update trustees at the June 4 standing committee meeting. While he didn’t have a num- ber, and noted applications are still arriving, Mr. Powers said the board has “not nearly enough,” not even half the num- ber of secondary school teach- ers it needs. Mr. Powers said the board normally requires about 150 el- ementary and high school teach- ers to meet the demand of any- where between 3,300 and 5,000 students. Summer classes for high school students are slated to run between July 4 and Aug. 2 at Dunbarton High School and Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute and G.L. Roberts Collegiate & Vocational Institute in Oshawa, and Henry Street High School in Whitby. Registration forms went out to the high schools this week. He said last year a larger- than-usual number of students - about 2,700 of the 4,000 — were enrolled in the board’s summer school program taking high school courses. A number of reasons were cited, including construction work at the re- gion’s five Catholic high schools that resulted in only two schools being utilized instead of three. That prompted many stu- dents to take summer classes in a public school. Rob Fitzgibbon, principal of the Durham Catholic District School Board’s continuing and adult education program, said “we’re running our summer school per normal” this year. But that could change if there’s a problem with staffing for the public board program, he said, noting the two boards as a mat- ter of course discuss locations of facilities for the program, for example, so as not to “set up shop in the same community. “We’re going to have to work out some contingency plans based on (the public board’s staffing situation).” He did not have an estimate of how many Catholic high school students will enrol this year. Enrolment was down about 20 per cent last summer.

Earlier this month, the education minister announced the government will expand the definition of teaching time and allow boards to increase the average class size in high schools by one student to 22, a package designed to create a better climate for extracurricular activi- ties by freeing up teachers. “I am giving all the education part- ners the courtesy of working with us to implement that,” she said in an inter- view. “This is not a negotiation. The (ad- visory panel on extracurricular activi- ties) has recommended a package that we are moving forward with.” As the draft regulation is currently worded, it means a 6.25-of-eight class workload for high school teachers, not including remedial time for students, su- pervisory and-on call duties, said Ms. Ecker, explaining a workload number is needed to implement timetabling in schools. But Jim Smith, president of the On- tario English Catholic Teachers’Associ- ation (OECTA), says 6.25 won’t work. Like the current 6.5-class workload, he said it still means an extra class for teachers and does not address problems such as unqualified teachers in the class- room because qualified staff is unavail- able. “I’d be as happy as a pig in muck to find something that really works and this won’t work,” Mr. Smith said in an interview. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 30, 2001 PAGE 5 P dardized math test. Students in full- year high school programs or those in second-semester math classes will take the test, since first-semester math students wrote it in January. Schools have the choice of con- ducting the two-hour and 50-minute test over three or five consecutive days between May 28 and June 14. Based on the curriculum expectations for pupils taking Grade 9 applied and aca- demic math, the test requires that stu- dents answer multiple choice and short-answer questions. As well, they will be given six tasks — collections of related questions based on one or two strands from the curriculum. Unlike the Grade 10 literacy test, also administered by EQAO, students do not have to pass the math test in order to graduate from high school. Ms. Freedman said teachers have been doing practice tests with students and other exercises to get ready. Paul Pulla, secondary schools su- perintendent at the Durham Catholic District School Board, estimates half of the board’s Grade 9 population — around 1,100 students — are writing the test. Two classes of pupils, one at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering and one at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in Oshawa, have been selected to write a more extensive form of the test, said Mr. Pulla, noting the test is still in “kind of a pilot basis”. And, while it does not count toward students’ diploma, he said, “any part of the assessment the schools are en- gaged in can be used as part of their regular assessment in schools,” at the discretion of teachers. Mr. Pulla said it’s hard to say how well students will do on the test. “I like to approach it from the point of view that any assessment... helps us assess where we’re at,” he said. “What we hope to get out of it is an overall picture of where we stand and how our students are faring.” Teachers will begin marking the test in July and the EQAO will release provincial- and board-level results in October. MATH from page 1 Math tests under way for Grade 9s Ecker says extracurriculars ball now in unions’ court Please Recycle! mer), and has committed to the same amount for elementary teachers, though a deal has not been finalized. Each one-per cent salary increase represents roughly $1.2 million, ex- plained Mr. Visser. His report noted the increasing cost of board employee benefit packages continues to be a worry, with increases expected to total $1 million. The board also expects to teach 428 fewer students next year, with a sig- nificant drop of 546 elementary stu- dents, offset by a secondary increase projected at 118 pupils. Since the funding model is largely based on the number of students, it means less rev- enue for the board. The board proposes cutting the computer budget by $2.8 million and the computer supplies/ textbook bud- get by $1.4 million. Mr. Visser said the board has made “great strides” in recent years in the area of classroom computers. Howev- er, he said it is now moving from an expansion to a cost-management mode, and the proposed cuts mean computer upgrades that ideally would take place, cannot. Staff has already eliminated $10 million in budget requests and Mr. Visser in his report suggested more might be necessary. The next draft of the budget is to be presented at the June 11 board meet- ing. CATHOLIC from page 1 Catholic board draft budget comes up short PRECIOUS PLATES ‘N THINGS 475 Westney Rd. N.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. It may be high time to go back to an old idea: photo radar. The increasing numbers of cars on Hwy. 401 and even the speedsters who inhabit secondary routes like Hwy. 2 and Hwy. 7 need to know somebody or something rather, is al- ways watching. Police crackdowns on speeders and dangerous drivers are effective but they simply don’t last. The impact of the pub- licity about a coming crackdown, the visible evidence of po- lice cruisers, the reports of numerous charges laid, are fine for the brief time of the crackdown. But their effectiveness ends the day the crackdown ends. There must be a better, long-term way to keep speed under control to save lives. Photo radar provides a cheap, reliable, safe method of en- suring drivers stay within 15 or 20 km/h of the posted speed limit. It need not be intrusive. Maintaining that ‘eye on the road’would keep drivers in line and under control. There’s a feeling the introduction of photo radar in the early 1990s helped create a deterrent and kept speeding and dangerous driving down. But its use was far too brief. The Tories made photo radar one of their main concerns when they went up against the governing NDP in the 1995 provincial election. Even though police agencies across the province noted speed limits on our highways came down, the Tories removed the device because motorists complained it was as though ‘Big Brother’was watching. Police highway crackdown units likely cost Ontario tax- payers more than photo radar ever would and, invariably, last a short time. Every month the traffic gets heavier and heav- ier on the 401. Drivers who travel at safe speeds need all the help they can get out there. It makes no sense for a government to keep turning its back on a proven, sensible way to make our highways a safer place. It’s time for the government to take a second look at its decision to ban photo radar from our highways. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 30, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Stolen bike was girl’s only mode of transportation To the editor: We would like to thank the per- son or persons responsible for stealing our daughter’s three-wheel bike on Tuesday, May 15. The bike was taken from our grey and black trailer parked at our home on Hill- crest Road in Pickering. We would like to tell you about our daughter. She is a very bright and vibrant young lady of 26 years who is also mentally challenged. This bike is our daughter’s only means of transportation other than walking, so with your weird, warped, and inconsiderate behav- iour, you have taken this privilege away from our daughter. This matter has been reported to the Durham Regional Police and they are investigating the incident. Our only hope is that you stole the bike because you have a son or daughter in a similar situation. However, something tells us you are very inconsiderate people. However, if you read this article and show any type of compassion, you can return the bike with no questions asked and the police will be notified that the bike was re- turned. If you have any conscience whatsoever, please return our daughter’s bike. David and Heather Smith, Pickering Off-street parking leaves a fine mess To the editor: On Saturday, May 26, my son went to get in to his jeep and found a parking ticket on the windshield. The ridiculous thing about it was that my son’s jeep was parked by the side of our driveway, on a part of our lawn where he has parked every day and night for the past three years because we have two other cars in our driveway. I had heard horror stories of people being ticketed in Scarbor- ough for parking in their own dri- veways, but I had foolishly thought this insanity would not reach Pick- ering. I was wrong. This is not serv- ing and protecting our community. This is pure and simple greed, in order to collect funds. As a taxpay- er living in Pickering for the past 30 years, I am furious our hard-earned money is being used to employ people who go around the neigh- bourhood ticketing people’s cars that are clearly not obstructing the safety of anyone driving on the street. The whole reason my son parked his jeep where he did was because he didn’t want to get tick- eted for parking on the street. If that part of my lawn belongs to the City of Pickering, then I ex- pect them to mow it and maintain it. I further expect they should shovel the lower part of my drive- way in winter and I would like 30 years back pay for having main- tained the lawn and shovelled the driveway all these years. I am ashamed to live in a city that allows its residents to be ha- rassed and intimidated in this man- ner and I feel it’s time we stopped being so complacent and started standing up for our rights as prop- erty owners — to freely park any- where we please on the property that we own and maintain. Jennifer Quinney, Pickering Premier Mike Harris has accom- plished a rare feat by coming up with a policy that has split both his own party and its main opposition and both will have problems patch- ing things up. The rifts showed up quickly after the Progressive Conservative premier said he will provide tax credits for parents who send their children to private schools. Liberal leader Dalton McGuin- ty, who now has a huge lead in the polls, said he will fight the funding tooth and nail, and, if necessary, cancel it if he becomes premier. But two prominent Liberal MPPs, Monte Kwinter and Michael Bryant, have been on the record as favouring funds for religious schools and said they will stick to that position. Both have large Jew- ish populations in their ridings and many parents who send children to Jewish schools lobbied for funds. Mr. Kwinter says he supports funds for religious schools because Roman Catholic schools already re- ceive them, but would prefer one publicly funded system and any who then want to send children to religious schools would have to pay. He is against funds for non-re- ligious private schools used mainly by the wealthy. Mr. Kwinter and Mr. Bryant are particularly useful to their party. Mr. Kwinter has respect because of his competent, steady, sober service while serving as a minister between 1985 and 1990 and since, and is the kind of MPP the Liberals need des- perately to attract business, which now overwhelmingly supports Mr. Harris. Mr. Bryant is much newer but has a reputation as brimming with ideas and able to capture publicity, so he is the most talked of young Liberal and a possible successor to Mr. McGuinty. The Liberals would be embar- rassed to have two such notable col- leagues vote against them on an issue that has quickly become a landmark of Tory policy and a sym- bol of their differences. The Tories have quickly tried to exploit this dissension among the Liberals. Mr. Harris chortled in the legislature there appear to be some Liberals who support his policy. Education Minister Janet Ecker has drawn attention to the Liberal split now fewer than five times, say- ing Mr. Kwinter and Mr. Bryant show more respect for the wishes of parents than Mr. McGuinty. But the smiles have been sud- denly wiped off Tory faces by con- firmation of what was suspected the moment the policy was announced, that some Tories, including Ms. Ecker, are not happy with it. Ms. Ecker, a moderate and for- mer aide to the red Tory premier, William Davis, had said, like Mr. Harris only months ago, she had no thought of providing funds for pri- vate schools and was intent on strengthening the public system. Mr. Harris reversed with encour- agement from his new, far-right fi- nance minister, Jim Flaherty. Ms. Ecker has denied she almost resigned in protest, but her rejoin- ders — such as she does not make her innermost thoughts public, “speculation of this kind is not helpful”, and the government in the end makes decisions and ministers articulate them — were not thun- dering enough to quash such a no- tion. Ms. Ecker is normally streets ahead of most Harris ministers in having information at her fingertips and explaining her actions, but could not answer such obvious questions as whether private schools when funded will have to hire certified teachers and be in- spected by her ministry like public schools, and her unenthusiastic de- fence suggested she had been left out of the planning and her heart was not in it. Most Tory MPPs are so right- wing they would follow Mr. Harris off a cliff, but a few others are more moderate and must share her mis- givings. All Tory MPPs could not have been wholeheartedly against funds for private schooling only months ago when Mr. Harris felt that way and how be wholehearted- ly for them. Ms. Ecker in fact has also ac- knowledged to later questioning there are different views on the issue in the Tory caucus and said this is common on many substantial issues. The Tories over many years mostly have been able to carry on their disputes behind closed doors because they have been mostly in government and had power to si- lence critics by rewards or punish- ments. Ms. Ecker also is unlikely to re- sign because she has been an out- standing minister and has a shot at leadership. But the Tories, split on a fundamental issue now public and Mr. Harris, who likes to think he runs a government that is firm and decisive, will hear a lot of criticism that it is not sure of itself. The dispute between the Liber- als also will be kept before the pub- lic because the issue has to be de- bated and voted on and they have a long history of quarrelling in public before elections — this is a party in which an MPP once justified his disagreement with party policy by saying “leaders come and leaders go”. Give them credit, idea splits parties But private school tax scheme also has Tories fighting amongst themselves Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com You said it The question was: Durham council is calling on the Province to reinstate photo radar. Would you like to see the return of photo radar? Angel Blomqvist said,“I agree. If people are caught in the act (of speed- ing), maybe they’ll smarten up.” Martin Koppens said, “No, I was caught once, but it was somebody else speeding. It wasn’t fair.” Tom Wells said,“No, if cops do their job, we don’t need the radar.” Barely six months into its three-year term, there is a bona fide crisis among trustees at the Durham District School Board. Clearly, a breach of trust, fundamental to the operation of a democratically elected body, has taken place. The story appears simple on the surface: the regular May 7 meeting of trustees was cut short by a motion to adjourn by Whitby Trustee Doug Ross. Five trustees asked that another meeting be held to finish up business and board chairman Elizabeth Roy, also a Whitby trustee, made calls to see if trustees would be available to meet. She discovered many trustees had a conflict and couldn’t make it so no meeting was scheduled. But that didn’t stop six trustees from getting together May 14 — unbeknownst to the other five — and holding their own meeting to take care of board business. Whitby wasn’t even represented at the meeting as trustees Ross and Roy didn’t know it was taking place. Neither did Uxbridge-Brock Trustee Nancy Loraine, Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge or Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. The gang of six was made up of Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford, Marilyn Crawford and Melinda Crawford of Ajax, Oshawa reps Cynthia Steffen and Susan Shetler and Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers. Trustee Paul Crawford, clearly missing the point of what he and his cohorts had done, insisted last week the six formed a quorum, that five had asked for the meeting and that special meetings “have been the practice of the board for as long as I’ve been here”. The public clearly has a right to know why these six trustees felt they needed to meet on their own, what discus- sions took place and what decisions they made. The public school taxpayers of Whitby, Uxbridge and Brock weren’t even represented, their interests ignored. Trustee Marilyn Crawford, who chaired the clandestine meeting, now admits “It was a mistake. I had no idea of the implications of what we were doing.” This board is out of control and is acting in an irresponsi- ble manner. While Trustee Roy said the six trustees were dis- ciplined according to a board bylaw that allows for either a verbal warning or a formal letter of censure, that is simply not enough. The business of running a huge organization like the Durham District School Board must be taken seriously. The citizens who fund the board deserve professional, proper rep- resentation, which is something they are not presently receiv- ing. The next election is still two years away but Durham resi- dents should contact their elected representatives now and let them know how inappropriate their behaviour is.

Miller Waste Durham, a corporate sponsor of the event, has given festival organizers 10 blue boxes to be placed be- side regular trash barrels. The City of Pickering will also have its large recycling bins on site. You can help out the volun- teer cadets from the 2525 Royal Canadian Pickering Corps, who will be on the Re- cycling Team, by looking for labelled bins for the disposal of discarded pop cans, paper, and any other recyclable ob- jects. The cadets also enlist public relations support from a K-9 team that roams the festival with its owners. Dogs are re- cruited to wear a cloth sign that says ‘Paws to Recycle’. Also, look for pails marked ‘compost’ that will take brown paper bags/ towels and apple cores, etc. Miller Waste will pick up all recyclables separated from regular trash and separated or- ganics will be taken to back- yard composters. Durham Region will have a display at the festival, featur- ing recycling handouts, infor- mation and a chance to buy a blue box for $4. Included at the festival’s ‘silent auction’ will be a blue box, contributed by the City of Pickering, which will be filled with corporate ‘eco-friendly’ donations from Dominion Sav- A-Centre, Grand & Toy, Pick- ering Chiropractic, and Bay Ridges Florist. The recycling information table, set up by the Pickering Waste Reduction Committee, will offer recycling activities for children. Red wiggler worms in a vermicomposter should also attract the attention of youngsters. Somewhere in our youth, most people lost their appreciation for these wonderful little creatures of the soil. By the time our children finish their education, let us hope their knowledge to re- plenish our soil through com- posting and to apply resource management in everyday life will be far greater than the adults of today. Join the fun on the bay at Liverpool Road. Walk the new millennium waterfront trail. Celebrate the joy of our Frenchman’s Bay and let us work to preserve it for future generations.

The Spartans booked their tickets to the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Associ- ation (OFSAA) ‘AAA’Rugby Champi- onships in Stoney Creek, near Hamil- ton, starting today (Wednesday) after defeating the Pickering High School Trojans 34-10 in the Durham District League final in Raglan, near Oshawa. Spartans’ head coach Bill Dalliday said he expects his charges to be ranked in the top eight teams at this year’s OFSAA playdowns. And, with a team that has played and beaten many of the squads at the provincials this year, he is confident his Spartans can come home with a medal. “I think we’re as strong as anybody there. There are probably six or eight teams that could beat each other,” said Dalliday. “I think we got a good shot — as good as anybody.” After an almost dead-even first half in the Durham final with the Trojans holding a slight 10-8 lead, the winds and ultimately the game shifted in favour of the Spartans in the final half. “More than anything, I think we wore the other guys down,” noted Dalliday. “They had bigger guys and they weren’t as effective in the second half. We were a little more relentless than they were.” Dean Paggos led the Spartans with two tries. Ken Stevens chipped in with a try, three converts and a penalty kick. Spencer Cameron and Jason Wyles added one try apiece. Scott Larkin scored a try for the Trojans. J.D. Smith had a penalty kick and a convert.

Here, Lally gives Grade 8 student Michael Harding some tips on his swing during the session at the Pickering Driving Range last Thursday afternoon. Durham rugby champions set sights on claiming OFSAA ‘AAA’title Heat is on the competition early PICKERING — The Boyer Pontiac Heat senior men’s fast pitch team is red hot to start 2001, winning its second tour- nament of the young season last weekend. The Heat returned from a tournament in Erie, Pa. with the championship, only two weeks after winning the TSO Chal- lenge in Oshawa. The fast start, explained Heat pitcher Brad Bricknell, has been partly due to the influx of new players brought into the fold this year. The Heat boast left-handed pitcher Brad Baker, formerly of Oshawa, who plays during the winter in New Zealand. Bricknell says the hurler is rated as one of the top 10 in the world. As well, the club has four New Zealand imports — catcher Lance Abbot, first baseman Mal- colm Namana, shortstop Craig Wallace and second baseman Rob Steffensen — who’ve also been playing all winter in New Zealand. The club also picked up third baseman Rob Watson who split time last year between the Oshawa Gators and a Washington-based senior team. “I credit a lot of it to the four New Zealanders who are coming off a full sea- son. With all our new senior ball players, the rest of us are feeding off these guys. The hitting has been contagious and we haven’t left too many people on base. Everyone has been coming through with clutch hits,” said Bricknell. The Heat played seven games at the 12- team Erie event, meeting a familiar foe in the Waterloo Twins in the final. Pickering posted a 5-2 victory, behind the outstand- ing pitching of Brad Baker. Jamie Baker went 2-for-3 at the dish, while Namana hit a two-run bomb. Dave Fowler contributed a run batted in (RBI). Pickering earned its place in the final after blanking Can-Am 5-0 in one semifi- nal contest. Brad Baker earned the win on the mound. Watson led the way offensive- ly by going 2-for-3 at the plate. Abbot had two RBI while Brad Baker, Chris McColl and Bricknell added one RBI apiece. The Heat began the five-game round- robin portion of the tourney with a 4-0 whitewash of the New York Smokers. Brad Baker pitched the shutout victory, recording seven strikeouts along the way. Bricknell went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. Namana also contributed two RBI. Next, the Heat dropped a 4-1 decision to the Twins. Bricknell took the loss on the mound. Rob Watson picked up the only RBI for the Heat. In the third game, the Heat defeated the PA (Pennsylvania) Power 6-1. Pitcher Mc- Coll earned the win, recording seven strikeouts. Ted Kosiezsa, Abbot, Namana and McColl all registered two hits apiece. The Heat beat Fedlock 5-2 in Game 4. Brad Baker recorded eight strikeouts while allowing only four hits in the win- ning cause. Abbot led the way at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI. In Game 5, the Heat proved too much for Orr Park in a 10-3 drubbing. Bricknell was a force on the mound, registering 11 strikeouts and scattering four hits. Wayne Stephen went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, McColl was 2-for-2, Namana 3-for- 4 and Steffensen went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI. At the TSO Challenge, the Heat defeat- ed the Can/Am Windmillers from New Jersey 3-0 in the final. After losing a 4-3 extra-inning decision to the Windmillers in the first game, Pick- ering reeled off wins against Owen Sound (5-4) and Waterloo (5-2) to reach the final. Again this year, the Heat will play in the International Softball Congress (ISC). The five-team league will consist of Wa- terloo, Innerkip (near London), Owen Sound and Palermo (Oakville). The Heat played its home opener against Palermo Tuesday night. The result wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. The Heat is hoping to earn a trip to the ISC World Fast-Pitch Championships in Eau Claire, Wisconsin this summer. The qualifying tournament for the event is slat- ed for Innerkip June 23 and 24.

The Niagara tournament at- tracted teams from both sides of the U.S.- Canada border, including rep-, elite- and provincial-level entries in the girls’ under-15 pool. Pickering progressed all the way to the final where they met an unde- feated elite- level Dixie team from Toronto. Lone Star re- mained strong throughout the first half of play, but two goals in the second half allowed Dixie to claim the cham- pionship with a 2-0 win. After two wins and a loss in regular tour- nament play, Pickering pro- gressed to meet a strong provin- cial Oakville team in the semifinals. Pickering’s 2-1 win was the re- sult of an over- all team effort with outstand- ing goalkeep- ing, key goal scoring, a strong midfield, and exceptional de- fensive play. Team mem- bers are Kayleigh Black, Breigh Cameron, Katie Dale, Marie Desroches, Kendel Doyle, Morgan Kelly, Krista Lantz, Erika MacNeill, Amanda Morra, Kristy Moore, Sarah Nishikawa, Haley Reeve, Katie Toomsalu, Kim Weston, Jacqueline Wil- ford and Elyse Wuerth. The team is coached by Bill Black, assisted by Mike Reeve and managed by Donna Lantz. The team’s trainers are Jo- hann Nishikawa and Eva Toom- salu.
