Trustee calls for resignations
CYNTHIA STEFFEN
‘The whole thing stems
from miscommunication.’
Ross may call in
Province to discuss
‘dismantling’
of Durham board
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The chair-
man and former chairman of
Durham’s public school board
say it may be necessary for the
Province to step in and deal
with a rebellious group of
trustees. And that may include
asking for a “dismantling” of
the board.
“If we can’t resolve this
shortly, I will be asking the
minister (of education) to give
us a hand and help us resolve
this,” Whitby Trustee Doug
Ross said following an in-cam-
era meeting following Monday
night’s standing committee
meeting.
Without naming names, he
said “a couple of trustees
should do their constituents a
favour and resign.”
Chairman and fellow Whit-
by Trustee Elizabeth Roy in an
interview said it might come to
the point of asking the
Province for a “dismantling” of
the board of trustees.
“Something has to be drasti-
cally done,” she said.
Trustee Ross said at an in-
camera meeting before the
public portion of the standing
committee meeting, six
trustees who had received a let-
ter of censure from Trustee
Roy “took it upon themselves
to surprise us tonight”.
With no prior notification
that it would be discussed, the
trustees said the chairman
acted “inappropriately” in pun-
ishing them and sought to have
their records cleared, Trustee
Ross said.
Trustees Paul Crawford
(Pickering), Marilyn Crawford
and Melinda Crawford (Ajax),
Cynthia Steffen and Susan
Shetler (Oshawa) and Martin
Demmers (Scugog) received
letters of censure for meeting
May 14, as the board of
trustees, with no board staff
member present and without
the approval of the chairman.
Trustee Paul Crawford has
said because the trustees
formed a quorum, they had
every right to meet.
Trustee Roy said her author-
ity as leader of the board is
clearly being challenged.
“I need the support of other
trustees to bring this out to the
public,” she said.
Trustee Roy said she walked
into an “ambush” on Monday
when she arrived at the Educa-
tion Centre in Whitby for the
meeting and the censured
trustees wanted to discuss the
issue.
But one of the six trustees
says the matter is a big misun-
derstanding.
Money
flows for
watershed
study
PICKERING —Restoring
Frenchman’s Bay and control-
ling the flow of storm water into
the watershed are the goals of a
joint study being conducted by
the City and the University of
Toronto.
Pickering councillors voted
Monday to contribute $225,000
over a three-year period to help
fund the study on ‘land develop-
ment impacts on water quality
and ecological sustainability’.
Students from the University of
Toronto will collect the data.
“It’s an exciting opportunity
and a major step forward to-
wards regenerating the health of
Frenchman’s Bay,” said Ward 2
Regional Councillor Mark Hol-
land, noting the study will en-
able the City to “take action to
ensure the sustainability of the
bay”.
City council approved a mo-
tion last fall to develop a French-
man’s Bay watershed remedia-
tion plan and to try and secure
other funding to help pay for the
study, which is expected to cost
about $465,500.
The City has been accumu-
lating funds for the past three
years for storm water manage-
ment projects so the City’s por-
tion of the cost will be covered
from funding carried over from
the 1998, 1999 and 2000 capital
budgets.
The remainder of the study
will be financed by grants from
the Ontario Innovation Trust and
the Natural Sciences and Engi-
neering Research Council
(NSERC), totalling $240,500.
Pickering backs windmill project
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The con-
struction of a 380-foot wind-
mill on the City’s waterfront
could begin this month if the
Ontario Power Generation
(OPG) project gets the green
light from a federal agency in
the coming weeks.
The project is awaiting one
final approval from the Cana-
dian Nuclear Safety Commis-
sion (CNSC) after the City of
Pickering on Monday unani-
mously endorsed OPG’s pro-
posal to locate a prototype of a
wind-generated turbine on the
grounds of the Pickering Nu-
clear Generating Station.
“We still need a letter of ap-
proval from the CNSC to lo-
cate it on the site,” Pat
O’Brien, manager of public af-
fairs for Pickering nuclear, said
in an interview Monday. “It’s
99-per cent sure of coming
here.”
OPG has considered sites
from Hamilton to Kingston but
Mr. O’Brien said Pickering is
the preferred location.
Mr. O’Brien reported if all
of the remaining pieces fall
into place as expected, the
groundbreaking could be held
as early as June 20, with the
windmill up and running by
the end of August.
“It’s critical to have the
City’s support,” Mr. O’Brien
said. “We’re looking forward
to getting it up and going.”

McLean said Monday that any

A return to roots at Pickering High School
Students mark
school’s golden
anniversary this
weekend
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
AJAX ––The grandfather
of grunge himself, Canadian
rocker Neil Young, once at-
tended Pickering High
School. So did world champi-
on diver Beverley Boyes. And
radio’s Marlane Oliver. And
artist Bill Lishman, whose ex-
ploits with Canadian Geese
inspired the movie ‘Fly Away
Home’.
And they are just a few of
the people who may be in
town for the school’s 50th an-
niversary celebration June 8
to 10.
Neil Young probably won’t
show. But Lenore Hawley
will be there. She taught Eng-
lish at the school between
1959 and 1990. A Stouffville
resident, Ms. Hawley still
teaches literature at the Os-
hawa Senior Citizens Centres
one day a week.
Did she teach Neil Young?
“Everybody asks me that,”
laughed Ms. Hawley, re-
sponding ‘no’ and adding the
Canadian rock star only went
to PHS for one term at the
most.
She was hired by J. Clarke
Richardson, the former prin-
cipal of the school, who later
became a public school board
superintendent. Mr. Richard-
son’s name will grace Ajax’s
new public high school, cur-
rently under construction at
Harwood Avenue and Ross-
land Road.
“Pickering District High
School opened in 1951 with
16 rooms and an enrolment of
418 students,” recalls Ms.
Hawley. “It was a rural school AJAX ––Pickering High School graduates include (from

Traffic blitz results in
326 tickets issued
DURHAM — Ontario Provin-
cial Police officers working out of
the Whitby Detachment heard
plenty of excuses from drivers
for their aggressive behaviour on
the highways during a recent
campaign.
The 2001 aggressive driving
campaign was held from May 18
to 31 and excuses ranged from
“being late for work” to “everyone
else is too slow”, reported OPP
Const. Julia McQuaig. Drivers
were charged with speeds rang-
ing from 159 km/h to 204 km/h.
The final results are 223
charges for speeding caught by
radar), 36 for speeding (non-
radar), 15 careless driving
charges, eight charges for follow-
ing too closely, 19 lane viola-
tions, and 25 other moving viola-
tions. Officers also gave over
200 warnings to drivers.

DURHAM —The public school
board here will try to get on the list of
presenters at public hearings into the
controversial education tax credit for
private school parents.
But Durham District School Board
trustees are divided on the issue, and it
may be hard to reach a consensus.
The biggest surprise in last month’s
provincial budget was the announce-
ment of the Equity in Education Tax
Credit. The credit would assist parents
who choose to send their child to a pri-
vate school, providing up to $3,500 per
year for each student when fully imple-
mented in 2006.
Teachers’ federations, the opposition
Liberal party and others say the credit
amounts to government encouragement
for parents to take their kids out of the
public school system.
The Province has agreed to hold
eight days of public hearings on the
issue, including sessions in Toronto. The
public board is seeking a spot at the
Toronto hearings.
Trustees supported a motion from
Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper that
education director Grant Yeo speak on
behalf of the board. If he cannot speak in
person, trustees authorized Mr. Yeo to
submit a written presentation reflecting
the board’s position.
But trustees who spoke at Monday’s
standing committee meeting expressed
both support and opposition for the tax
credit.
“I think it’ll strengthen the public
school system; we’re already in a pow-
erful position and getting stronger every
day,” said Pickering Trustee Paul Craw-
ford. He objected to the Ontario Public
School Boards’Association characteriz-
ing the credit as a government
“scheme”.
Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen also
spoke in favour of the credit, citing the
case of Alberta.
“Look at what’s going on in Alberta,”
she said. “Alberta has certainly strength-
ened their public school system.”
In an interview Trustee Steffen ex-
plained that private schools are under
the umbrella of the public school system
in Alberta.
As for criticism of the tax credit, she
said Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s of-
fice states the funding is not coming out
of the public education system.
Trustee Hopper, who motioned Mr.
Yeo speak on behalf of trustees, said in
an education funding system tied to en-
rolment, an incentive to leave the public
system means less money for public
school boards when parents choose a
private school.
“I think it’s not in the benefit of the
public education system to have this in
place,” she said.
Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers
said it would be premature to make a
presentation.
“We don’t really know if this item
will go forward,” he said.

trustee says
she was
‘ambushed’
“I think the whole thing stems
from miscommunication and I think
trustees have the right to appeal (the
censure letter),” said Trustee Steffen
in an interview Tuesday.
She denied the six trustees met se-
cretly. Trustee Steffen said trustees
who wanted a special meeting gave
Trustee Roy and their colleagues
plenty of notification.
They also asked Trustee Roy to
stay for the meeting following an ad
hoc meeting the same day, and she
declined, said Trustee Steffen.
She said she was not informed by
Trustee Roy that the chairman was
opposed to the special meeting.
“If trustees were going to have a
secret meeting, they wouldn’t have
gone to those lengths and held it at
the board office,” she said.
Trustee Steffen said she would
never challenge the authority of the
board chairman.
Asked how the situation could be
resolved, she said, “I honestly don’t
know the answer to that,” before say-
ing improved communication be-
tween trustees would help.
Trustee Roy did not attend the
public session
Monday night
and Trustee
Ross was in
and out of the
meeting.
Trustee
Ross said the
constant squab-
bling is having
an impact on
the ability of
the board of
trustees to con-
duct board
business. Im-
portant matters
such as the
board’s sum-
mer school
program for high school students, en-
dangered by a lack of teachers, the
accommodation plan and the budget
need trustees’ attention, he said.
“We’re not accomplishing any-
thing,” he said.
“None of the important things are
being asked. We spend all our time
arguing.”
Trustee Ross said he has been get-
ting phone calls, both from Whitby
and other Durham residents, with
everyone asking the same thing:
What’s going on?
Education ministry spokesman
Rob Savage noted the minister met
with trustees on Friday in a regularly
scheduled meeting.
“It’s certainly the minister’s view
and our view at this point that the
board really should be working to re-
solve its issues and to focus on deliv-
ering a good education,” Mr. Savage
said.

DURHAM —Crime Stoppers
and Durham Regional Police are
looking for help in solving a theft
that occurred in Pickering last
month.
Sometime during the overnight
hours of Thursday, May 25 and
Friday, May 26, someone entered
Pickering Marine at 1644 Bayly
St. in Pickering and made off with
a trailer containing two snow ma-
chines and other equipment.
The enclosed Pace Cargo Trail-

ing, had Ontario licence plate
number V52 355, is described as
white, 24-feet long, and had a V-
nose and the words ‘Pickering
Marine Racing’ on the rear.
Both snow machines were
black Artic Cats, one was a 1989
model, and the other a 1995 ZRT-
800.
A large quantity of tools,
snowmobile dollies and other re-
lated garage equipment were also
in the trailer, resulting in an esti-
mated loss of over $30,000.

for any information that will lead
to an arrest in this incident.

name or testify in court and Crime
Stoppers does not use call display.

Durham urged
to back warnings
on alcoholic
beverages
DURHAM —Drinking alcohol
during pregnancy can cause birth de-
fects.
That’s a message members of the
Region’s health and social services
committee want to see included on al-
coholic beverages sold in Canada.
The committee is urging Durham
council to call on the federal govern-
ment to require that all alcoholic bever-
age containers carry a warning label
about the effects of fetal alcohol syn-
drome (FAS).
In a report to the committee last
Thursday, Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s
medical officer of health, noted FAS is
“the most severe form of a spectrum of
abnormalities found in the children of
women who have consumed alcohol
while pregnant.”
He added FAS is “the leading cause
of developmental delay in Canada” and
said although it can be totally eliminat-
ed through prevention, it cannot be re-
versed or corrected.
Dr. Kyle’s report stated the House of
Commons’ standing committee on
health and welfare recommended in
1992 that the Food and Drug Act be
amended to require FAS warning labels
be printed on all alcohol containers sold
in Canada.
The report also noted that Canadian
businesses exporting alcohol products
to the United States have been required
since 1989 to include such a warning.
The recommendation will go to
council for consideration June 13.

overlooking the surrounding fields,
and the study of agriculture was an
important part of the curriculum.”
In the early years, she says the
school had a reputation in athletics
and was well known for its drama
program, led by Charles Joliffe, who
became one of the best-known drama
teachers in Ontario. Students won the
provincial Sears Drama Festival
award several times, recalled Ms.
Hawley.
She related some funny anecdotes.
“There was almost a strike when
the boys demanded doors on the cu-
bicles in their washrooms,” she said.
“The principal gave them the doors.
There was a special assembly at
which girls demanded the right to
wear slacks to school. The principal
graciously agreed.”
She’s been spending a lot of time
at the school preparing the reunion
souvenir booklet and is amazed at the
changes compared to the school’s
early years.
“It’s an entirely different world, a
faster world,” said Ms. Hawley. “The
great difference in education today is
the students own their own computers
at home and they have their own e-
mail.”
And, while she remembered an
“intimate, cozy” atmosphere at the
school, no one would use those words
to describe Pickering High School
today.
Al Monks is in his first year as
principal of the school, but is no
stranger to the facility after being
vice-principal for three years.
“There’s kind of a spirit at the
school that even the political prob-
lems haven’t quelled,” he said.
While teachers’ conflict with the
provincial government and the school
board have been constants in Durham
for about four years, resulting in a
general lack of extracurricular activi-
ties, a lot of things are still happening
at Pickering High.
Still, there are challenges as the
school turns 50. First and foremost,
the school needs an addition. Picker-
ing High School has an education
ministry-rated capacity of 1,080 stu-
dents, but is home to roughly 1,800
pupils.
“We haven’t had one since 1972,”
said Mr. Monks. “We would charac-
terize it as the secondary school with
the greatest need of an expansion (in
Durham Region).”
Bill Parish, an ex-teacher and the
former mayor of Ajax, is in charge of
co-ordinating some 15 or 16 subcom-
mittees that are handling various
facets of the reunion.
He says the committee chairmen
“have worked very hard over the last
six or seven months and things seem
to be coming together very well”.
The reunion has attracted former
staff and students from far afield, said
Mr. Parish.
“There’s at least a couple coming
from England,” he noted. “There is a
number coming from various parts of
the United States. We anticipate there
might be one or two from British Co-
lumbia and, of course, all over in On-
tario. I’ve already talked to a lot of
kids I taught in the 1950s and it’s
been delightful.”
He’s hoping to see several former
students, including Scugog Mayor
Doug Moffatt.
A variety of souvenirs will be on
sale at the reunion and organizers are
asking former staff and teachers to
share their memorabilia for use in
decade rooms. Several events, noted
in the accompanying chart, are sched-
uled.

DURHAM —A motorist was
robbed of money after stopping her
car on the side of Hwy. 401.
Durham Regional Police said a 30-
year-old woman reported she stopped
her car, due to wiper problems, about
10:30 p.m. Saturday on the eastbound
401 between Harwood Avenue and
Brock Street.
A red car containing four males
also stopped, she told police.
The men asked if she needed help
and then one man approached, with
his face covered and demanded
money.
The man indicated he was armed
with a knife but none was seen.
The woman gave the man money.
He got back into the car and the men
drove off.

PICKERING —There’s
plenty to celebrate at the
Frenchman’s Bay Festival
this coming weekend as the
event marks its 10th anniver-
sary and the unofficial open-
ing of the City’s new millen-
nium trail and square.
The annual event, which
traditionally draws crowds of
12,000 to 15,000 people, is
taking place along Picker-
ing’s waterfront at the bottom
of Liverpool Road
from Friday, June
8 to Sunday, June
10.
Dave Johnson,
president of the
Frenchman’s Bay
Community As-
sociation, said
there’s a host of
activities planned,
including
favourite tradi-
tional events and
new attractions.
He also noted
the weekend
wouldn’t be pos-
sible if it wasn’t
for the volunteers
who’ve been
working for
months to make
the festival hap-
pen.
“The involve-
ment of commu-
nity volunteers
makes this festival
possible,” Mr.
Johnson said, not-
ing a core group
of about 12 peo-
ple have been in-
volved in the
planning.
He also noted
about 80 mem-
bers of The 2525
Pickering Army
Cadet Corps will
be on hand
throughout the
weekend to en-
sure everything
runs smoothly.
The weekend’s
festivities kick off
with a pre-festival
pay-one-price
pass of $12 for
midway rides on
Thursday night.
The festival of-
ficially gets under
way with opening
ceremonies at
8:30 p.m. Friday
followed by Jump
up at the Bay, a
concert by the Ca-
lypso band Neu
Jenarashun.
“They’re
bringing a little
flavour of the
Caribbean to
Pickering,” Mr.
Johnson says of
the 10-piece band.
On Saturday,
the activities at
the foot of Liver-
pool Road include
a craft sale on the
boardwalk, per-
formances by the
jazz band Combo
#5 at the millenni-
um square at noon
and 2 p.m., a con-
cert by The John
Does in the beer
garden at 4 p.m.
and an afternoon
of activities for
the whole family.
Saturday’s
events finish off
with the festival’s
annual street
dance at 8 p.m.
However, Mr.
Johnson reported
this year’s street
dance, which has
traditionally been one of the
festival’s most popular
events, is changing a little.
He noted the theme is a
1970s and 1980s street dance
designed for the whole fami-
ly. On Sunday, festival activi-
ties continue and carnival
rides will be open through-
out.

welcome.
“I’m looking forward to
the project starting,” he said,
noting he believes the wind-
mill will become an attrac-
tion along the waterfront
trail.
“It’s an excellent oppor-
tunity for an interpretive sta-
tion along the trail,” added
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Mark Holland, who’s hope-
ful the site will be a “peo-
ple-friendly place.
“Aesthetically it’s going
to be an interesting, modern
looking piece.”
The prototype windmill,
which will generate about
1.8 megawatts — enough
power to service between
300 and 500 homes — is
part of OPG’s plan to in-
crease its commitment to
green energy.
“The nuclear plant was
the energy of the future 30
years ago,” Mr. O’Brien
said, noting wind-generated
turbines are part of the fu-
ture in (power) generation.
“It will be the largest
generator of its kind in
North America,” Mr.
O’Brien reported, adding
the windmill, which will not
create a lot of noise, will
measure 380 feet from the
base to the top of the blade.
It will have a 35-metre
wingspan and will be
shipped here from Denmark
once the go-ahead is given,
he said.
Installation will only
take about three days once
the base is prepared.
Mr. O’Brien said OPG is
planning to install informa-
tion kiosks at the base of the
windmill so members of the
public can learn more about
the project.
He also said the company
is planning a blade-signing
ceremony so people can get
involved in the project by
writing their name or a mes-
sage on one of the three
blades before the windmill
is constructed.

Premier Mike Harris’s Progres-
sive Conservatives are a bit tem-
peramental about show-business
personalities getting in on their
act, but have bombed in an effort
to respond to it.
Sarah Polley, a young actress
who has had success in movies and
on TV, helped organize a benefit
concert to oppose the Tory party’s
possible move toward private
health care.
Health Minister Tony Clement
jumped on this meddling outsider
with a heavy hand, saying he was
glad Ms. Polley was able to take
time off from being in Cannes to
get involved in an important public
issue.
This implied when the actress
attends film festivals such as
Cannes she goes on mere junkets,
although she promotes movies that
can be valuable exports. The min-
ister is also on dangerous ground
when the Ontarian most noted for
heading for sunnier climes, in his
case to play golf, is Mr. Clement’s
boss, Mr. Harris.
New Democrat house leader
Peter Kormos called it a cheap
shot and demanded Mr. Clement
apologize, but the minister refused
and challenged Ms. Polley to de-
bate him on health care.
Mr. Clement is among Mr. Har-
ris’s most articulate ministers and
someone not immersed in all as-
pects of the issue would have diffi-
culty matching him in debate. It
seemed he had silenced the up-
start.
But a member of the public is
entitled to express an opinion
without being threatened to step up
and debate the minister — this is
like Mike Tyson saying a sports-
writer who suggests he has lost his
punching power should get in the
ring with him.
Ms. Polley stuck to her guns
and countered she would be happy
to arrange for Clement to debate
someone from the health field who
has waited a long time to take on
the minister, which most people
will think is fairer, but Mr.
Clement saw no profit in having a
debate that would be more even
and has not replied.
The minister may have been
sensitive to an actress’s criticism
because people in show business
are more able to get the media to
take notice of them than the rest of
society including politicians.
The event Ms. Polley organized
attracted media interest and 900
people, more than usually go to
most events organized by politi-
cians.
In the same week, children’s
entertainers Sharon, Lois and
Bram were reported signing a peti-
tion opposing Mr. Harris’s plan to
give tax credits to parents who
send children to private schools.
Thousands more signed, but only
the entertainers were identified
and without them the media may
never have mentioned it.
Actor Robert Redford was
given a large chunk in papers to
explain why he opposes drilling
for oil in the Arctic, where it could
interfere with wildlife.
And Michael Moriarty, who
acted in TV’s ‘Law and Order’and
lives in Canada, was allotted simi-
lar space to warn that Oklahoma
City bomber Timothy McVeigh
should not be portrayed as a hero.
The article was so rambling and
barely coherent that editors would
never have approved it if a reporter
had written it.
Show business celebrities are as
entitled as others to have their
views heard and as knowledgeable
on public issues as most in society.
But they get heard more than
others because the public knows
them and most media regard al-
most anything they do or say as
news, which has some unfairness
to it and riles others wanting to be
heard, including politicians.
The Harris government also has
had run-ins with showbiz types be-
fore.
Actor Gordon Pinsent and the
Barenaked Ladies held a press
conference at the legislature to
protest cuts to arts funding. Ballet
dancer Karen Kain tried to take pe-
titions protesting the cuts to Mr.
Harris’s office, but was refused
entry to the building, and Mr. Har-
ris wrote to apologize and say this
was not on his orders.
But the Tories should not com-
plain about show business types
poking their noses in politics. To-
ries under premier William Davis
started a trend of using them by
bringing Hollywood actor Charl-
ton Heston to speak at a party
fund-raising dinner.
Mr. Heston was then making a
name as a right-wing activist and
progressed to become spokesman
for the National Rifle Association,
whose duties consist mainly of
warning, every time three more
teenagers are shot dead in U.S.
schools, this is no time to tighten
controls on guns.
So when the Tories claim enter-
tainment figures have too much to
say on political issues they should
remember they started it and with
someone in whom they cannot
take a lot of pride.
Conservatives feeling star-crossed
They started showbiz practice, but others are perfecting it
You said it
The question was:
Do you have any concerns about the recent
E. coli outbreak in Durham and across the GTA?
You couldn’t blame Durham Police Chief Kevin
McAlpine for the mile-wide smile. The chief, often embattled
during his three-and-a-half year tenure, now has two new
deputies to help share the load of directing a growing force.
Chuck Mercier and Rod Piukkala were announced as the
replacements of the departed Derek Denson, who stepped
down March 31 and the soon-to-retire Jim Adams, who leaves
June 30. The new deputies will begin their job together July
3, offering tremendous assistance to the chief.
Both deputies bring loads of experience and glittering re-
sumes to the job. Both were named officer of the year in their
respective regional police departments, Mr. Mercier in
Durham and Mr. Piukkala in York. Both have shown an ea-
gerness and desire to move up the ranks. Mr. Mercier has
great experience in the Durham force and most recently has
been a superintendent here. Mr. Piukkala comes to the job
after serving as police chief in Oxford, Ont., an area that in-
cludes Woodstock.
Most importantly, both deputies had to pass through an ex-
haustive selection process that saw 40 candidates submit re-
sumes in the search and eight finalists interviewed. Police ser-
vices board chairman Bob Boychyn said of the pair, “We are
absolutely delighted to have these two dynamic leaders in the
fold. They have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities
in their extensive policing careers. We’re looking forward to
new dynamism in the organization.”
That last point is vital. Just last year,Chief McAlpine faced
internal dissension when a survey organized by the Durham
Police Association showed widespread unhappiness among
rank-and-file officers with his leadership. The chief refused to
back down from the policies he’s carried out during his term
and he received the full backing of the police services board
during the crisis.
After weathering that storm the chief can now point to new
blood at the top. He also has been superb at convincing the
police services board and Regional council to grant huge an-
nual increases to his force. Just this past year, the police bud-
get jumped nearly 15 per cent going from $71 million to $82
million. That hike came after decent increases during the pre-
vious two years with Chief McAlpine at the helm. More
money means more officers and better equipment for the men
and women on the beat, surely a plus for the chief and a boost
for morale. Deputies Mercier and Piukkala will have chal-
lenging tasks ahead of them in the years to come. We wish
them well. Their success is a success for us all.
Some people still aren’t getting the message. And if they
are, they’re wilfully ignoring it.
So it was last week at the latest in a long line of truck safe-
ty blitzes carried out jointly in Durham by Ontario Provincial
Police, Durham Regional Police Service and the Ontario
Ministry of Transportation.
The blitz, which saw trucks checked in an unused parking
lot on Hwy. 2 in Pickering, found nearly half of the rigs ex-
amined were taken out of service due to safety concerns.
Further, four of those trucks were in such poor condition,
officials stripped them of their plates at the scene.
As it was, the blitz examined 45 trucks, which must repre-
sent only the tiniest portion of rigs that pass through Ajax and
Pickering each and every day. If nearly half of those were
deemed unsafe, how many more questionable rigs are out
there rumbling down our roads?
Surely, rig owners and operators are aware of the crack-
down in recent years on unsafe trucks. Surely they, too, read
the headlines about the innocent victims of these vehicles, in-
cluding Durham resident Angela Worona, who was struck
and killed by a flying wheel that came loose from a truck trav-
elling on Hwy. 401 in Durham.
Why, then, are there still so many trucks travelling our
roads without being properly maintained and serviced? Why
are these surprise blitzes still finding such disproportionately
high numbers of vehicles with safety deficiencies?
Clearly, the education and enforcement programs of recent
years are not working as effectively as was hoped.
Continuing to take unsafe rigs out of service is one way to
ensure compliance and should continue. So must prevention
and education programs. But the real responsibility lies with
the owners and operators.
Tougher legislation governing the industry should be
looked at once again, with a view to more serious conse-
quences — either via stiffer fines or even incarceration.
Angela Worona was an innocent casualty in a drive for
profit. Her death — and those of the other victims in recent
years — cannot be for nothing. We must remain vigilant, pun-
ish the offenders and make our roads safe for everyone.

Many factors go
into a woman’s
decision to
abort a child
To the editor:
Re: ‘Abortion the leading cause of
death in Canada,’ opinion shaper
column, June 1.
Harriette Mostert lives in a fan-
tasy world! A world where every
pregnant woman is involved in a
loving relationship that would
gladly welcome a child.
A world where every fetus
grows to perfection, both physical-
ly and intellectually. A world
where a child will be born into a
family with no emotional scars and
can be guaranteed its safety. Unfor-
tunately, that is not the real world.
Every aborted child was aborted
because the mother felt that in her
heart she could not care for that
child.
If she were forced to give birth
to that child, that child would grow
up and become another of society’s
statistics. Pick up a newspaper.
How many children are beaten or
murdered by those who gave it
life? How many children live in
poverty? I see no statistics in Ms.
Mostert’s article as to the mother’s
status. Would she become a single
mother? Was she under the age of
20? Was her pregnancy a result of
mutual consent? And just how
many of these “healthy victims”
were in fact healthy. Abortion is a
very controversial subject on which
everyone has an opinion. It is a
subject that spans both ethics and
religion.
However, like every other con-
troversy, there are two sides to
every story. Before stating that
your opinion is absolutely the right
one, ask to change places with
someone on the other side of the
fence. Perhaps after walking a mile
in their shoes you will change your
mind.
Michele Gagnon,
Pickering
No way to
MP pay raise
To the editor:
Pay raise? No way! You must
be kidding Jean.
With this Liberal dictatorship
you have instituted in Ottawa and
those seals you have so well
trained at your every command,
you should be ashamed of your-
self.
Let us have a say in the matter.
In case you forgot, we the taxpay-
ers, pay all the wages for all MPs
and yes, you Mr. Prime Minister.
You are just as bad as former
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
who instituted the dreaded GST
tax under the Conservative gov-
ernment. You said you would get
rid of his GST tax.
Look what happened to former
MP John Nunziata for reminding
you that you said you’d scrap it.
Remember Sheila Copps? Do
we have a choice today?

PICKERING —A pair of Pine
Ridge Secondary School track ath-
letes ran to four medals at the provin-
cial championships in Toronto last
weekend.
KerriAnn Mitchell and Paul Mar-
tin represented the school well at the
Ontario Federation of Schools Ath-
letic Association (OFSAA) Track
and Field Championships at Etobi-
coke’s Centennial Stadium June 1 to
3.
Mitchell won the gold medal in
the senior girls’ triple jump with a
winning leap of 12.05 metres. She
also captured the silver medal in the
senior girls’ long jump with a leap of
6.01 metres.
Meanwhile, Martin also brought
home a pair of medals, winning the
junior boys’ 110-metre hurdles in a
time of 14.57 seconds, defeating
training partner and rival Cameron
Sahadath of Pickering High School
in the final. In the preliminary heats,
Sahadath posted the fastest time of
14.79 seconds, while Martin was the
third fastest qualifier with a clocking
of 15.33 seconds.
Martin’s other medal came in the
junior boys’ 300m hurdles where he
finished third in a time of 38.34. He
missed a silver medal by a mere five-
tenths of a second. He was the top
qualifier in the preliminary heats
with a time of 39.14.
Martin also placed fifth in the ju-
nior boys’ high jump with a leap of
1.90 metres.
“They trained hard and they were
favoured to do well in their events,”
said Pine Ridge track coach Amanda
Miles-Berry.
She also noted the competition at
OFSAA for Mitchell and Martin was
not only of a provincial calibre, but
many of the rival athletes were “kids
who had competed on the national
track scene”.
Two other Pine Ridge track and
field athletes competed at OFSAA.
Leigh Cushnie competed in two hur-
dles events in the senior girls’ divi-
sion. She finished sixth in the final of
the 100m sprint hurdles and eighth in
the 400m hurdles. Meanwhile, Tyler
Lahti finished in the top 20 in the ju-
nior boys’ 3,000m race.
Other Pickering athletes competed
at OFSAA were:
• St. Mary Catholic Secondary
School’s Shannon Boodram won a
silver medal in the junior girls’300m
hurdles with a time of 43.99 seconds.
She won the preliminary race in a
time of 45.36. Boodram also won a
bronze medal in the 400m race in a
time of 56.96.
• Adam Morrison of Dunbarton
High School finished fifth in the final
of the 1,500m race in a time of
3:54.00. He also placed seventh in
the final of the senior boys’ 800m
race in a clocking of 2:00.18.
• Ian Mayne of St. Mary finished
fourth in the final of the senior boys’
3,000m race. He lost out on a bronze
medal by a mere 18/100ths of a sec-
ond.
Mayne also placed 12th in the
heats of the 1,500m race and didn’t
qualify for the final.

Roller hockey
club’s win streak
comes to an end
at Detroit tourney
DURHAM — The Toronto Tour
14-and-under roller hockey team fin-
ished fourth at a qualifying tourna-
ment at Joe Dumars Fieldhouse in
Detroit last weekend.
The Detroit tournament is a quali-
fying event for the North American
Roller Hockey Championship and
usually attracts many of the top teams
from Michigan and Ontario.
Despite winning all three of their
round-robin games, Toronto, which
includes several players from Ajax
and Pickering, was seeded third over-
all because of the goals-against
tiebreaker rule. Tour had seven goals
against, while Honeybaked had two
and Team Hyper Detroit had three.
Toronto was matched against
fourth-seed Team Nexed in the play-
offs. In an entertaining game with
goals being traded back and forth,
Nexed took a 6-4 lead with a few
minutes left, only to have Tour make
the game exciting by scoring with
1:10 remaining. Nexed scored an
empty-net marker to make the final 7-
5.
Thus, Toronto suffered its first loss
of the season, having won all of its
previous eight games and a tourna-
ment in Brampton.
In the first game of the round
robin, the speedy Toronto squad
soundly defeated the Devils 8-0.
In the second game, Tour took a
quick 3-0 lead over Nexed and then
relaxed too much. Nexed battled back
to make it close, forcing Tour to add
some extra goals to win 7-5.
Toronto mercied a physical
Canucks team in the third game, 10-2.
Team members are Ryan Annes-
ley, Quinn Caggiula, Jason Crete,
Kyle Cunningham, Andrew Dis-
sanayake, Danny Lefort, Liam Red-
dox, James Ronald, John Scrym-
geour, Kyle Tate, Chris Vanonlangs,
and Kyle Zettler.
The team is coached by Rob van
Onlangs and Ken Mulgrew.

PICKERING —A pair of city
athletes performed well against the
top collegiate athletes in the U.S. at
the National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation Outdoor Track and Field
Championships in Oregon this past
weekend.
Perdita Felicien, representing the
University of Illinois Fighting Illini,
and Devon Davis from the Universi-
ty of Northern Iowa, qualified to run
at the NCAA showcase at the Uni-
versity of Oregon’s Hayward Field
in Eugene, Ore.
Felicien, running in her specialty,
the 100-metre hurdles, came into the
event as the number-one ranked hur-
dler in the entire NCAA and the
fourth-ranked hurdler in the world.
She finished in fifth place in the final
in a time of 12.87 seconds.
Felicien was beaten for the
NCAA crown by gold medallist
Donica Merriman of Ohio State Uni-
versity. Merriman also claimed the
indoor 60-metre hurdles crown at the
national indoor championships earli-
er this year.
According to a story posted on
the University of Illinois athletic
Web site, Felicien and teammate Su-
sanna Kallur made contact twice
during the race, which may have
slowed down both hurdlers and, ulti-
mately, costing them a chance at a
medal.
“There was a lot of physical con-
tact in the race, but it all happened so
fast it’s hard for me to say what went
wrong until I look at it on tape,” Fe-
licien told the Web site.
Although she finished out of the
medal running, the Pine Ridge Sec-
ondary School graduate was
nonetheless philosophical in defeat.
“It’s a disappointing way to end
the season, but I have a lot of racing
left in my collegiate career,” said Fe-
licien.
Meanwhile, Davis placed sixth in
his heat in the men’s 100-metre dash
in a time of 10.39 seconds. The time
posted by the Pickering High School
graduate and junior at the Cedar
Falls, Iowa campus wasn’t fast
enough to earn him a ticket to the
final.

promises to be an unforgettable weekend for all
that attend. The event, the fourth annual, is set for
June 8th, 9th and 10th.
Held at Lakeview Park at the southern end of

activities day and night. “Organized by the Oshawa
Folk Arts Council, the festival features will include
nightly concerts, craft vendors, a carnival midway,

the Cellar Dwellers, a well known local band.
Last year, over 30,000 people attended the 3

“Our goal is to bring the people of Oshawa and
beyond a waterfront festival that will rival any in
southern Ontario,” said Maryanne Sholdra. “To
achieve this goal, we have attractions for all ages.”
Joe Kondyjowski, the concert organizer is
brimming with enthusiasm over the entertainment.
Friday features BIG WRECK at 9 p.m. with WIDE

Fourth Annual Oshawa Waterfront Festival
Set for June 8th, 9th and 10th
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
AJAX —By capturing musi-
cally the vitality and multicultur-
al flavour of Toronto, a Picker-
ing musician and songwriter has
provided a rallying point to spur
the city in its bid for the 2008
Summer Olympic Games.
Ron Korb, known for his
world-beat woodwind works, in
collaboration with writing part-
ner Donald Quan, submitted the
song ‘Expect the World’ to the
Toronto Olympic bid commit-
tee, hoping it would best encap-
sulate the essence of the city.
The tune proved to be such a hit
it was chosen the theme song for
the Toronto 2008 Olympic Bid’s
Arts & Culture Festival next
month.
Korb says simply that it was
an enormous tribute to have ‘Ex-
pect the World’ chosen by the
bid committee.
“It’s a great honour. I’m very
excited to be part of such a big
event,” said Korb, who has
recorded several world-beat CDs
and has performed his music
around the world. “I am grateful
that the Olympic bid committee
took a chance on emerging
songwriters like Donald and my-
self.”
Korb said he and Quan re-
sponded to a call to songwriters
last November to write a song
for the bid as a way for the com-
mittee to bring the city’s vibrant
arts and music communities into
the process. The duo subse-
quently submitted a demo
recording.
The talented flutist admits it
was a painstaking process, tak-
ing several months for ideas to
take root.
“Donald and I had ideas
about the song that had germi-
nated over weeks and months.
We spent a few long evenings
putting all the ideas together,”
noted Korb. “When we finished
our demo we really felt we had
nailed it. After we submitted the
song we waited an agonizing
few weeks before they made
their final decision. Even though
we were very confident about
our song when they announced
that we won we couldn’t believe
it.”
After being chosen, Korb and
Quan immediately went into the
studio to work on the arrange-
ments for the piece and ultimate-
ly produced a just-released CD
of the song, arranged in both
French and English. The CD,
recorded at McClear Digital stu-
dio in Toronto, featured a full
rhythm section, as well as the
Nathaniel Dett Chorale. The 20-
piece Samba Squad added its
world-beat groove with the deep
Brazilian surdo drums, shakers,
taborims and agogo bells to the
recording. Korb also played sev-
eral exotic flutes during the ses-
sion, including the Moroccan,
Native American, Irish, and
Japanese.
The focal point of the record-
ing was the musical interplay be-
tween unknown Toronto vocal-
ists Alana Bridgewater and
Justin Bacchus who gave ‘Ex-
pect the World’its soulful edge.
Korb said the two young
singers were uncovered after an
exhaustive audition process, and
he’s happy the committee decid-
ed to give these fledgling vocal-
ists a chance to shine.
“All the singers who audi-
tioned were good but these two
had a special soulful expression
that brought the song to life,”
said Korb. “They were great to
work with and I predict wonder-
ful careers for both of them.”
A musician with several solo
CDs to his credit, Korb nonethe-
less said it was his best experi-
ence in the studio to date.
“This is clearly the biggest
song project I have ever been in-
volved with,” he noted.
‘Expect the World’will serve
as the showpiece of the festival’s
International Olympic Day Gala
Concert at Toronto’s Roy Thom-
son Hall on Saturday, June 23 at
8 p.m. A fully orchestrated per-
formance of the song will serve
as the grand finale of the
evening, featuring the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra, a 250-
piece choir and the Samba
Squad.
Tickets are $20.08 and can be
purchased by calling 416-872-
4255. For more info visit the

Grade Math Program Adds up to Success
Math concepts taught in school today have changed
dramatically. No longer is the focus placed solely on
basic skills. In fact, in grades One through Eight your
children focus on five key areas of learning.
Number Sense and Numeration,
Measurement,
Data Management and Probability,
Geometry and Spatial Sense, and finally
Patterning and Algebra.
Each of the five strands is a building block in
preparation for the next year’s challenge.
The Ontario math curriculum demands that concepts be
mastered at a much earlier age than in the past. It
requires a determined effort on the part of students,
parents and teachers to ensure that all these concepts
are firmly understood. A short glance at your child’s
textbook will clearly indicate just how much things
have changed and the challenge they face.
Fortunately with the help of the Grade Math Program,
a student can learn or reinforce all needed concepts in a
matter of fifteen minutes each day. Developed to ensure
understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts,
Grade Math Program teaches to the expectations set in
the Ontario Math Curriculum. A math program that
mirror s the curriculum is only available through Grade
Math and is not available through other programs, such
as, Kumon. “Parents and students value this
consistency,” reports Michael Bateman owner of the
Bloor-West Grade Math Program. “The program allows
students to progress at a rate that will build their skill
and confidence -- ultimately allowing them to master
the math concepts they need to succeed.” Parents agree.
“Luke spends 15 minutes each night on this Grade
Math assignments,” acknowledges Mrs. Cassar whose
son Luke attends the twice weekly program. “Luke was
at Kumon, but got bogged down with endless repetition
of material unrelated to his class work. This program is
not at all like that. “I’m never going to stop coming
here.”
In Bloor-West Village, the Grade Math Program is
located in the Runnymede United Church. The
program costs $70 per month and includes all
materials. To enroll your child please contact Grade
Math @ 905-207-9645.

Lina Noreen Hughes
September 5, 1921
April 27, 2001
The children of Lina Hughes send their
sincerest thank-you's to the many friends
and neighbours who shared in the loss of
our dear mother.
Our thanks to the staff at the Ajax.
Pickering Hospital, emergency room and
the kind and caring nurses on the second
floor east, Dr. Stas for his compassion
and gentle care, The C. W. L. ladies of
St. Bernadettes, who so graciously
helped Mom on her journey. To Dino our
friend at Accentone Funeral Home, who
guided us every step. To our dear parish
priests, Father Dan and Father Jude, who
watched over Mom and gave her great
comfort in spirit and prayer. For the many
beautiful floral arrangements and dona-
tions. To the thoughtful friends who so
generously sent food to Mom's house. To
the nursing staff at Centenary Chemo-
therapy Clinic for their gentle care. To
the staff at the Ajax Med-Chem Clinic
who made mom's weekly visits much easi-
er. To the many, people who touched our
lives with the kindest words of our moth-
er and told us how this lady made a dif-
ference in their lives, just by her sweet
smile and embracing spirit.
And to you mom, who gave us each other

During March, residents in Pick-
ering sent 1574.31 metric tonnes
(17.89 kg per person) of garbage
to landfill, while Ajacians sent
1605.00 (23.96 kg per person). I
report these figures to give us a
guide as to how well or how
poorly we are doing. Unfortu-
nately, tonnage was up in March.
Both communities are now on
four-bag garbage limits.
