HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2001_06_10Body found in trunk of car at local shopping plaza BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer AJAX -A father of three is charged with second-degree murder after the body of his common-law wife was found in the trunk of her car at a local shopping plaza. A 911 call at 8:30 p.m. Thursday led Durham Regional Police to the parking lot at the Durham Centre plaza, at Harwood Avenue and Kingston Road, where they discov- ered the body of Andrea Schneider, 38. The mother of three was found in the car after officers obtained the keys to the four-door, blue Oldsmo- bile. There were obvious signs of trauma and an autopsy Friday con- firmed Mrs. Schneider died from blunt force trauma to her head, po- lice said. Based on information from a witness, who reported a van leaving the scene, police a short time later surrounded the couple’s Perfitt Crescent residence, a couple of kilometres north of the plaza, where her common-law husband of 11 years was arrested as he left the house roughly an hour after the grisly discovery. Carrying his severely disabled daughter, James Stewart Poland, 38, was taken into custody at about 9:30 p.m. by masked members of the po- lice tactical support unit. “He was coming outside, hold- ing his daughter in his arms, and they came up from behind and grabbed him. They took his daugh- ter and arrested him,” said a woman who watched through a window in her home across the street. A few minutes earlier, officers arrived at the residence and found the couple’s two sons - five-year-old Ajax man faces murder charge in woman’s death Pickering councillor questions need for five to attend conference BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Upper-tier governments need to be more sup- portive of local municipalities as they continue to take on increased responsibilities, say area councillors who attended the recent Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference in Banff, Alberta. Five of Pickering’s seven politi- cians were among the roughly 1,700 elected Canadian municipal offi- cials who travelled to Banff at the end of May to take part in the FCM’s 64th annual conference and municipal expo. “It was a packed conference,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, who spent three days in Banff. “There was a lot of discussion pertaining to the lack of funding by upper-tier governments across Canada. Sometimes you feel like you live in a vacuum, that you’re the only ones having problems.” But, he reported the practice of downloading additional responsibil- ities to the municipal level is some- thing that’s happening across the country.

The rail line was closed in 1989 due to climbing costs and runs across the northern borders of Clar- ington, Oshawa, Whitby and Pick- ering. But, Durham MP Alex Shepherd recently told the Scugog Chamber of Commerce that interest has been expressed in Peterborough towards reopening the line. He reported he’s been working with officials in Peterborough and the federal Ministry of Transport on the issue, but said it will take part- nerships with local municipalities and business groups to make it hap- pen. Mr. Anderson, a member of the GO Transit board, also said the pro- ject will require co-operation be- tween GO Transit and the federal government. “I’m going to ask them (the GO Transit board) to work with Alex because there’s no sense in the fed- eral government doing something that’s going to counter anything we’re doing.” He added, “it would be better if GO was in control of (the rail line).” However, GO Transit spokesman Karen Majerly has said it could be many years before GO train service will be offered on the line. “It’s not at the top of our priority list,” she reported. According to GO Transit’s ‘Road Map to the Future’report, in- frastructure requirements for peak period service on the line are ex- pected to cost at least $200 million. “It’s not in our current plans,” added Ms. Majerly. Municipalities in the GTA and Hamilton area fund GO Transit ser- vices, she said, noting when service extends outside that area, the ques- tion becomes who’s going to fund those services. “When services go beyond the GTA, they usually aren’t at the top of our list of priorities,” Ms. Majer- ly said. However, Mr. Anderson said, “Maybe (GO Transit’s) priorities should be looked at again.” The Region’s Official Plan indi- cates Regional council “supports the investigation of further exten- sions of rail passenger service along existing rail corridors, including the CPR Havelock line and the CNR Uxbridge line.” And, Pickering Councillor David Pickles said offering com- muter service on the line, which passes through north Pickering, could alleviate congestion on area highways. “I think it may be useful to con- sider at a time when we are experi- encing gridlock on the highways and the smog season is approach- ing,” he said. “It may provide a cleaner, safer commute for our resi- dents.” –– With files from Lesley Bovie Father’s Day gift idea pays off for golf fans DURHAM —If the only thing your father or husband talks about is golf, then the Lung As- sociation has a great gift idea for you.

Two heads are better than one for SCCs DURHAM —Two public school board trustees joined forces to present a motion for consideration at the next board meeting. At the Monday, June 4 stand- ing committee meeting, Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper and Ajax Trustee Melinda Craw- ford both in- tended to in- troduce a mo- tion on the Durham Dis- trict School Board’s con- sultation process with School Com- munity Coun- cils. They in- stead present- ed a joint mo- tion, to be dis- cussed June 18. The motion will spell out a meaningful board process, in- cluding timelines, for consulting with SCCs on policies and other appropriate board business. “This is not anything more than we are obligated to do under (provincial regulations), but this does formalize the process,” said Trustee Hopper. The motion will spell out that trustees’ “private motions” are to go to the SCCs for comment, she said. At the May 7 standing com- mittee meeting, Faye McFarlane chastised the board for not con- sulting with school councils on matters that affect student learn- ing and achievement, with her focus on private motions by trustees. The school council chair at R.S. McLaughlin Colle- giate & Vocational Institute said trustees are obligated to do so, and challenged any trustee to in- troduce a motion on consultation with SCCs. Trustee Hopper at the time said she would gladly do so. A.J.

Durham chairman wants line to get GOing again Ajax man critically injured in apartment grease fire AJAX —A 23-year-old man re- mains in critical condition following a fire in a basement apartment Wednesday. The man was pulled unconscious from his apartment at 301 Harwood Ave. S. by Ajax Fire and Emergency Services personnel around 7 a.m. The fire was in the kitchen area of the apartment and contained to one unit, although smoke did get into other apartments, Captain Marty Smith said. Thom Evered of the Ajax fire de- partment said an accidental grease fire was the cause, with damage set at $30,000 — $20,000 to the unit and $10,000 to the contents. He said a battery had been removed from the smoke alarm in the apartment. “Smoke alarms only work if they are maintained and tested regular- ly,” Mr. Evered noted. “You should replace the battery at least once a year and test them monthly.” The fire began around 6:50 a.m. and firefighters arrived within three minutes of the call, he said. “They forced their way into the apartment. They performed a rescue operation right away and found the man in the bedroom. They immedi- ately started working on him. The paramedics arrived a short time later,” Mr. Evered said. The man was revived and taken to the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre suffering from smoke in- halation and carbon monoxide poi- soning. He was then transferred to Toronto General Hospital, which has a hyperbaric chamber, as his lungs were filled with carbon monoxide. He was transferred back to the Ajax hospital Thursday morn- ing and remains in the intensive care unit. Dave McCormick, 37, a resident of the building, said he heard the fire alarm ring just after he left his apartment. Mr. McCormick saw thick, black smoke coming from the basement windows and firefighters arrived within minutes. “It didn’t look good,” he said. “They broke down the door with an axe and when they pulled him out he was barely breathing. You could see his chest jump like it was his first breath in a while.” Durham Regional Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said the windows of the basement apartment were shattered and smoke was pouring out onto the street and into the rest of the build- ing when firefighters entered. The other 24 apartments in the building were immediately evacuat- ed and residents were not allowed to return until after 9 a.m. ROGER ANDERSON ‘Why wouldn’t we look at it?’ AJAX ––Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul Malik said smoke was pouring out of the windows when firefighters arrived. PICKERING NEWS BRIEFS June 10, 2001 KATHLEEN HOPPER ‘Formalize the process.’ BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Allow- ing 125 homes to be built next to a golf course in north Pickering will only serve to promote urban sprawl, says the head of a local environ- mental group who’s urging the City to turn down a devel- opment proposal for the Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club. The City of Pickering’s committee of the whole will consider the development ap- plication Monday. And, Angie Jones, execu- tive director of the Durham Conservation Association, is hoping councillors won’t consider allowing a single home to be built near the golf course. “Not one house,” Ms. Jones said Thursday. “The urban envelope in Pickering only extends to the 3rd Con- cession... I think everybody’s got the (Hwy.) 407 itch... it’s just nonsense.” She noted Hwy. 407, which will open in Pickering later this summer,was intend- ed to be a “bypass express route around Toronto, not a private (route) to sprawl”. City staff is recommend- ing councillors allow a maxi- mum of 80 homes on the site rather than the proposed 125. “The proposed develop- ment, as revised, represents a desirable new form of rural settlement within the City that can be appropriately inte- grated into the existing rural landscape in a sensitive man- ner,” states the report council- lors will consider Monday, noting the development would “complement the ex- isting and future expanded Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club”. But, Ms. Jones maintained even 80 homes is too many. “I really think if this mu- nicipality wants to smarten up, it better look at smart growth and better get to work on its urban area first,” she said. “Refuse the application and let’s get on with trying to make our urban centre bet- ter.” The Cherry Downs pro- posal was first brought before the municipality in 1993, when it involved the con- struction of 300 homes near the existing Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club on 7th Concession Road east of Brock Road. However, after much dis- cussion, that initial applica- tion was altered and a revised 225-home proposal was sub- mitted to the Town in August 1995. That proposal was de- feated in January 1996 and the company has since come back with this proposal, the current 125-homes request adjacent to the golf course. “It’s a very contentious issue in north Pickering. Not many people in the area are in support of it,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson in an interview Thursday. “This plan is con- trary to what I feel the intent of the (City’s) Official Plan is,” he said, adding he be- lieves the development would have a significant impact on the infrastructure in north Pickering. Coun. Johnson pointed out the Cherry Downs appli- cation would create a com- munity that’s larger than Brougham or Whitevale. And he maintained if an additional 200 to 300 residents were dropped into the rural setting it would put a lot of “pressure on services” in the area. DURHAM —The law firm defend- ing Dr. Erroll Wai-Ping against com- plaints from former patients has hired a Toronto communications firm to repre- sent the beleaguered physician. Sean McPhee, president of Sean McPhee & Associates, issued a news re- lease Thursday saying Dr. Wai-Ping will “vigorously defend himself before the courts”. The statement was in response to media reports that detail allegations of surgical incompetence from former pa- tients of the Whitby obstetrician. They include botched hysterec- tomies, deliveries and other gynaecolog- ical procedures, as well as life-threaten- ing infections following surgery and missed diagnoses of cancer. None of the allegations have been proven in court. A total of 236 women, who claim to have been injured or maimed under Dr. Wai-Ping’s care, want to join a $25-mil- lion class-action lawsuit filed last week against the doctor and the Ajax-Picker- ing hospital site of the Rouge Valley Health System. The complaints are also being inves- tigated by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, which has been in- undated with calls following a daily newspaper investigation. Dr. Wai-Ping, 47, has taken a volun- tary leave of absence from the hospital. This week he underwent a rigorous as- sessment of his medical skills and knowledge, as ordered by the college’s quality assurance committee. — Torstar News Service Legal team hires communications firm for accused doctor NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 10, 2001 PAGE 3 P Golf course housing plan up for debate in Pickering Monday DRIVER EDUCATION CENTRE ONTARIOSAFETYLEAGUE ESTABLISHED 1913 CALL TODAY AND REGISTER 426-9611 68 HARWOOD AVE.

The children were whisked away by officers to a neighbour’s while police waited to make the arrest. Sergeant Paul Malik, po- lice spokesman, said the chil- dren are now in the care of family members. Police secured the two- storey brick home in the quiet, new subdivision and are treating it as the crime scene. Forensic officers and homicide investigators spent all day Friday examining and searching the garage and res- idence collecting evidence. “This is a domestic-relat- ed homicide, but we still don’t know the motive at this point,” said Sgt. Malik. Police seized what they believe was the murder weapon, but would not say what it was. Friends said Mrs. Schnei- der worked as secretary to the board of trustees at the Royal Ontario Museum while Mr. Poland stayed at home and cared for the couple’s daugh- ter Stephanie, 7, who has Batten disease. “He was a stay-at-home dad. He’s really friendly,real- ly neighbourly. He was al- ways outside playing with his kids. He’s just a really good father,” said a shocked Luisa Serroul, who lives directly behind the family. A close friend of Mrs. Schneider said Stephanie was diagnosed three years ago, prompting Mr. Poland to quit work as a butcher at the St. Lawrence Market. “Stephanie needed 24-7 care...She was his entire... it was a major effort for him,” said the Ajax woman, who would only give her first name as Michelle. Michelle knew of no his- tory of domestic violence in the home. Police said they had not been called to the couple’s residence in the past. “He was a happy-go- lucky guy, the dorky kind. Just a nice guy, devoted to the kids. I don’t think James is normally a violent man,” she added. Colleagues and friends suspected there was some- thing wrong Thursday when Mrs. Schneider failed to show up for work or call in to the museum, said Michelle, who added she last spoke to Mrs. Schneider Tuesday night. Michelle said she visited Mr. Poland Thursday, prior to the discovery of the body, after she learned Mrs. Schneider was apparently missing. She said she asked Mr. Poland about Mrs. Schnei- der’s whereabouts. “He was mumbling... He was concerned about Stephanie because he had to take her to the hospital earlier in the day. I was concerned but I honestly didn’t think she was dead,” Michelle said. When asked if she knows what could have led up to the tragedy, Michelle said: “I have a good idea... I’m her best friend. I know a lot of things about Andrea that other people may not. “She was a nice lady, she had a good job. They were civil to each other. I don’t know what happened to be honest. I’m finding it hard to believe.” The 911 tip that led police to the body was not random, but rather from “somebody that knows the parties,” Sgt. Malik said. Earlier in the day, at about 2 p.m., Mr. Poland was out playing in his backyard with son Thomas and the family dog, ‘Kiko,’Ms. Serroul said. “He seemed usual. He was just sitting outside having a cigarette and throwing the ball to the dog,” said Ms. Ser- roul. She last saw Mrs. Schnei- der in the backyard the night before. Next-door neighbour David Holland was devastat- ed by news of the murder. “I did know them very, very well. Last night we had the boys and they slept and ate here, but we didn’t know where Andrea was,” he said. “Right now, I’m in denial. I don’t believe it’s happened.” Moore’s clothing store employee Colleen Loscombe said six police cruisers showed up at the Durham Centre plaza at about 8:45 p.m. and pulled up to the car parked six spaces in front of the shop. Officers then cor- doned off the section of the lot with yellow police tape. The car was later removed to police headquarters for forensic examination. Ms. Loscombe didn’t no- tice how long the car had been parked. Mr. Poland appeared briefly in Oshawa provincial court Friday afternoon and was remanded in custody. He will be back in court Mon- day.

NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 10, 2001 PAGE 5 P Ryan to colleagues: ‘Was motivation dedication or destination?’ tives at the conference have agreed to call on the upper-tier govern- ments to “assume leadership roles in various areas, one of which was transportation. “All in all it was really informa- tive,” he said, noting the conference also provided an “opportunity to look at some of the parallel chal- lenges communities face in trying to preserve environmentally-sensitive areas from sprawl.” Asked whether he felt it was nec- essary for five City representatives to attend the conference, Coun. Brenner said, “With the number of sessions being held there was no way one person could cover them off.” He reported each of the council members with him — Mayor Wayne Arthurs, Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Bill McLean, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles and Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land — attended a number of differ- ent sessions. He also noted the at- tendance at this year’s conference was “very consistent” with the num- ber of councillors who’ve attended FCM events in past years. But, Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan said he thinks it’s “wrong” five of the City’s seven elected representatives went to Banff. “I question the motivation,” he said. “Was the motivation dedica- tion or destination? It’s ridiculous.” Coun. Ryan said the mayor was the only elected representative from Pickering to attend the FCM confer- ence in London, Ontario last year while six representatives went to the conference in Halifax in 1999. However, Coun. Pickles said the conference “provided a lot of food for thought... part of the value in going out is you bump into people from other municipalities and chat with them about things you would never expect.” Meanwhile, Durham Chairman Roger Anderson said, “I think our focus in Ontario and in Durham should change somewhat.” He believes the Region needs to “include the federal government in our funding formula more often. We tend to focus on (securing funding only from) the Province.” The federation’s next conference is being held in Hamilton.

You are encouraging drivers to speed by making the statement that drivers should be able to stay within 15 or 20 kilometres of the post- ed speed limit. I have been driving for over 28 years and have only had one speeding ci- tation, many years ago. As far as my knowledge goes, and I will admit if I am wrong, but posted speed limit signs are law and not just guidelines. Too many times I have argued with others about this and nobody has been able to prove it to me as yet. Instead of encouraging speeding, please, let’s try to enforce the current limits as none of the 400 series of highways were built for the kinds of speeds people are now driving. Slow down and live longer.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Is it really necessary to implement a massive plan to put On- tario’s schoolteachers to the test? From comments made by Education Minister Janet Ecker Thursday, the answer is an emphatic ‘Yes’. The minister re- leased a plan that would see more than 40,000 teachers put to the test next year. Plans would see all the province’s public school teachers forced to take the tests by the fall of 2002. The plan is ambitious, and many would say, a misguided one. It involves forcing teachers to take 14 professional devel- opment courses on their own time and possibly at their own ex- pense and then tests them on that course content. Those who fail such tests could lose their teaching licences. The 6,500 new teachers who hit the province’s classrooms this fall will be re- quired to take the courses and pass the tests next January. In addition, every five years all teachers will be retested or risk losing their certification. It all sounds like a case of overkill. Remember teachers, who must routinely get more than 80 per cent in university courses to get into teacher’s college, go through a year of intense schooling and extensive practise teaching. Only then do they graduate with an education degree. They are constantly being monitored by school principals, not to mention active parents who question every mark, every measure of discipline dished out, every decision pro or con made by their child’s teacher. In short, the job is demanding enough without making it a whole lot tougher through unnecessary testing and courses that the vast majority of teachers don’t need. Teachers will only re- sent this imposition. Many teachers now routinely go into their own pockets without any thought of reimbursement to provide necessary materials for their students. Teachers are already subject to discipline through the Col- lege of Teachers that suspends and/or removes licences of teachers deemed unworthy of instruction. Many teachers take summer courses upgrading their knowledge and also work through the summer learning the new curriculum the Ministry of Education has established. The bottom line is there’s no crying need for extra teacher courses and superfluous testing. The minister has not made a strong case for such a program. In the end, the extra demands on teacher time will not help solve such pressing problems as the secondary school extracurricular activities crisis. It will only drive teachers and the Province even further apart, which is regrettable. Teacher testing only creates more division Job is demanding enough without adding regular skills’review and courses to equation The world is in good hands with the next generation of kids. At least that’s a personal observation I made last week following a photo session involving a number of the best and brightest high school students in the area. The News Advertiser is sponsor- ing a special section, ‘Faces of the Future’, that will feature high school students throughout Durham Region, including nominees from athletics and the arts (music and drama). Here in Ajax and Pickering, we assembled students at the Ajax Community Centre and at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex where we took photos of the nominated students and had them fill out ques- tionnaires concerning their achieve- ments and future goals. What was apparent about these students was their well-rounded- ness: They were more than just ath- letes, musicians or actors. To a per- son, they were positive, polite, well-spoken and extremely person- able, which made it nice to be around these young people, not to mention making my job and the task of the photographer much more enjoyable. I interviewed one of the partici- pants — Dwayne Higgins from Pickering High School — during the photo shoot. He was a double medallist in hurdles at the recently concluded Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) Track and Field Champi- onships. Like his peers at the photo shoot, Dwayne is outstanding at what he does — and what he does is run the hurdles (the 110 sprint and the 400- metre) as well as any high schooler in the province. At OFSAA, Dwayne ran to a virtual dead heat with a London hurdler. Only after several hours of deliberation did the judges award the gold medal to the London athlete. Far from being dejected, Dwayne was happy with silver, even though less than ideal track conditions (it was raining) existed. Always the competitor, he vowed to do better at the upcoming nationals. “I’m not disappointed. I know I can do a lot better and I will at na- tionals this year,” he said. Like the others, Dwayne’s also an extremely personable individual with a bright future ahead of him. The 18-year-old Ajax resident will attend the University of West Virginia next year on an athletic scholarship. He’ll run for the Mountaineers’men’s track and field team and play for the UWV men’s soccer team, too. Even though there are lots of people willing to dump on the next generation, my experience in the past week confirms these young people represent what is good and positive about today’s youth. No kidding, our future is certainly in good hands Local high school students show they’re more than just athletes, musicians or actors Al Rivett Sports Editor arivett@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 10, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P Membership has dropped everywhere over the past decade In the labour movement there is an ex- pression: ‘Organize or Die.’ These days the saying is taking on a new urgency. The trade union movement in Canada, as in many other industrial countries, is in decline. Unions find themselves grappling with pressures arising from rapid economic and technological change, increased global competition and shifts in business practices. A peek at union membership figures tells the story. Today, only 31 per cent of paid workers belong to unions, down from 33 per cent in the early 1990s. Between 1992 and 1997, which includes the post-1994 period of “economic recovery,” membership declined by 255,000 or an average drop of 51,000 per year. Arguably, the single biggest factor facing organized labour is the expansion of service jobs coupled with dwindling employment in resource and industries and heavy manufac- turing - sectors where unions are well-en- trenched. Services now account for about three-quarters of paid employment. Figures show that except for transportation, public administration and a few largely government- provided services (e.g., health care and edu- cation), unions have failed to make major in- roads into the service sector. In order to bolster membership, unions have become increasingly competitive, even resorting to such unbrotherly activities as raids on one another. John Crispo, a labour- relations expert, has termed it as “pure canni- balism. “The sad truth is unions are going nowhere numerically, structurally or politi- cally,” he said. As they vie for new members, Canada’s unions have given up any notion of homo- geneity, dissolving into different factions. The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), for ex- ample, represents not only autoworkers but miners, airline ticket agents and food-ser- vices workers, among others. The labour movement has also suffered a setback on the political front. The traditional alliance with the New Democratic Party has worn thin and many prominent labour leaders openly advocate a formal break with the party. Increasingly, union members no longer automatically vote NDP in elections. “Fact is, if you’re not a force politically, you lose in terms of setting the rules of the game,” Mr. Crispo observed. A good example of this has occurred in Ontario. When the Tories took over from the NDP in 1995 they immediately set about re- pealing the pro-labour legislation the NDP enacted during its one term in government. It also embarked on enacting pro-business legislation of its own. One of the most con- tentious is Bill 31, which was introduced on June 4, 1998. It repeals the section of the On- tario Labour Relations Act, 1995, which had permitted the Labour Board to automatically certify a union as the bargaining agent for employees in proven cases of employer inter- ference with union organizing campaigns. Bill 31 also gives employers a mechanism by which they can challenge the union’s membership evidence. Previously, if a union claimed to have the support of at least 40 per cent of employees, the board was required to order a representation vote within five days after the application for certification was filed and the union’s membership evidence could not, effectively, be challenged. Now employers have the ability to challenge unions’ claims of membership support. Crit- ics of Bill 31 say it effectively legalizes em- ployer intimidation in union representation campaigns. It’s interesting to note Ontario, with 26.5 per cent, already has the second lowest per- centage of workers belonging to unions, trail- ing only Alberta, with 23 per cent. In a 1997 study prepared for the Canadian Labour Congress, authors Dr. Carla Lipsig- Mumme and Kate Laxer, both of York Uni- versity, noted the following changes in the workplace: • First, the demographics of the working class are changing. Women’s labour force participation and union membership have been rising steadily, while that of men has dropped continually since the 1980s. Men and women are almost equal in numbers in the union movement now. • Second, the structure of the workplace has changed. Firm size is declining. Of the 12 million paid workers in Canada, eight million work in organizations with fewer than 100 workers. Small firms are more economically unstable and the smaller the firm the less likely it is to be unionized. • Third, computer technology has trans- formed technology in virtually every sector. This creates a revolution in working hours, encourages contracting out and homework- ing, allows for a polarization of hours and contributes to the breakdown of secure em- ployment. The use of technology to isolate workers from each other is a powerful threat to union organizing and traditional sources of solidarity, the authors have found. • Fourth, the Canadian service economy is becoming an economy of private sector ser- vices. More than 50 per cent of all Canadian jobs are now in the private sector services, while both public sector employment and manufacturing are declining. Manufacturing and the public sector have been the bastion of union strength, while the private services are the most under-unionized of the economy. “After a generation in which the strength of union presence in manufacturing, the or- ganization of the public sector and effective and targeted influence over public policy have together created a ‘leveling-up’ effect for workers in all sectors, the pendulum is swinging back,” the report noted. This shift is seen all over - nationally, provincially, and re- gionally. When John Dolstra started with General Motors in Oshawa 28 years ago, the plant employed some 22,000 workers. Now there are less than half, represented by CAW Local 222. “Oshawa was indeed a union town back then,” said Mr. Dolstra who’s been active with CAW, the Durham Labour Council and the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) over the years. “Young people could count on get- ting a job at GM and obtaining half-decent wages and benefits. That’s no longer the case. Those days are fading away.” Mr. Dolstra remembers the days of the old battery plant, the CKD parts facility and the fabrication plant. “When GM sold the fabrication plant (to Paragon), 1,800 jobs were lost right there,” said Mr. Dolstra. “The trend is reduction of jobs by means of out-sourcing and contract- ing out. GM is determined to cut costs no matter what it takes.” And Mr. Dolstra doesn’t see it getting any better in the near future. “With free trade and the auto pact expiring in a few years, I’m not hopeful. Anything can happen,” he warned. It seems the alarm bells are receiving at- tention. Increasingly, unions are investing in- creased resources into organizing, resulting in a growth in the number and diversity of workers joining unions. More women, newer Canadians, service workers and workers em- ployed on a part-time basis are becoming union members. It is unclear, however, whether these ef- forts will compensate for the loss of union jobs resulting from government and business restructuring. Moreover, the activity has been accompanied by increased rivalry between unions, increased raiding and a weakening of central labour federations such as the Cana- dian Labour Congress and the Ontario Feder- ation of Labour. Also worrisome is the fact it’s not always clear what the game is anymore. A growing number of Canadians are now self-employed or work in small businesses. Anxious to limit their fixed costs for benefits and related over- head, business is increasingly turning to em- ployees who work on a contract or freelance basis, making them almost impossible for labour unions to organize. Actually, when compared to other indus- trialized countries, the picture in Canada doesn’t appear too bleak. Union density (the ratio of union members to paid workers) has fluctuated only slightly, between 31 per cent and 33 per cent, for the past 25 years. In the United States, membership dropped from 22 per cent to 13.5 per cent between 1980 and this year. In Australia, it declined from 51 per cent to 36 per cent between 1976 and 1996. In the United Kingdom, it declined from 51 per cent to 34 per cent between 1980 and 1994, and in France from 18 per cent to 9 per cent. Whether unions are here to stay or whether they are likely to be eclipsed in their role as agents of social and political change by other organizations more able to meet the needs of changing workforces, remains to be seen.

BETTER LEARNING 2001 Academy of Math and Science Helps Students Meet Goals At the academy of Mathematics and Science, we assist a wide variety of students, including those who want to maintain good grades, those who need a challenging enrichment program and those who are experiencing problems with school work. By helping these stu- dents excel as learners, the Academy ensures that individuals gain confidence and skills to succeed at home, at school, and in their future careers. To prepare for everyday challenges, it is essential that problem areas receive prompt atten- tion. If students do not understand basic concepts in early grades, those gaps quickly widen and students may loose interest or confidence in their abilities. As a result they may get further behind. At the Academy we fill these gaps to ensure that students understand and enjoy their studies. The Academy for Mathematics and Science uses a “building block” learning technique. As one topic builds on the next, stu- dents must master each topic learned before continuing. This ensures that students under- stand 100 percent of each concept taught. Upon enter- ing the Academy the students com- plete an evaluation to determine their strength and prob- lem areas. Individualized pro- grams are then developed to meet the needs of each student. At the Academy, students work at their own pace in a support- ive, understanding environment. This strategy reduces peer pressure and learning barriers and helps students find the right focus to achieve their academic goals. All work is done under the supervision of Academy tutors who are certified teach- ers or have a university back- ground in Mathematics, Science, and English. The tutors then assist the students with any questions and pro- vide further instruction to ensure understanding.

Canada’s ambassador to Moscow, Rod Irwin, presented Canada’s bid to host the science research project dur- ing the first morning of talks among in- ternational delegations — including the European Union, Japan and Russia — which have gathered for the first round of negotiations on site selection for the facility. The announcement signified the Canadian government’s official sup- port for the bid, something the ITER Canada board of directors has needed to present its site proposal to the inter- national delegates, said Dr. Peter Barnard, chairman of ITER Canada. The bid launch was warmly re- ceived in Moscow, he said in an inter- view Thursday from the Russian capi- tal. “It was very positive. It’s signifi- cant to the whole ITER project. We re- ceived lots of compliments and con- gratulations.” Dr. Barnard said the details of the Canadian bid were to be presented Fri- day. ITER (International Thermonu- clear Experimental Reactor) is expect- ed to be the last stage of fusion energy research that could provide a more sus- tainable and abundant source of energy for the world. Scientists from around the globe would come to Clarington to work on the project if it is sited here and thousands of jobs are expected to be created locally over a 30-year peri- od. “It’s a great day for Clarington and Durham Region,” said Clarington Mayor John Mutton. “The key to the Canadian bid is that not only is it the best site, but all three levels of govern- ment and the private sector are working together.” Japan and France are expected to submit bids for the project as well. “It’s great we’re the first bid put forward,” noted the mayor. Dr. Barnard agreed. “We wanted to be first because it has so many advan- tages over the others we’re hoping to dissuade one or two of them from bid- ding.” Gary Polonsky, chairman of the ITER Community Council, a board comprised of community members from the Durham area, praises the Durham business and political commu- nity for its work on the bid. “The ITER Community Council did a lot work with the sections relating to the community and the new university (Durham was recently awarded by the provincial government). A lot of sweat locally went into it,” he said. “I hope the world decides to build this R and D plant somewhere and I hope they chose us on our merits. If the choice is based on merit Canada will win it. If it is based on politics, it is up for grabs.” The winning site is expected to be announced in early 2002.

As a denturist, I have been confronted by a patient in my office bearing an old photograph; sometimes it’s a graduation photo and other times it’s from a wedding. The photographic images all have this in common: they portray youth and vigor and a wondrous smile. Invariably, the patient has one wish as he or she shares with me their prized photograph. They want that same wondrous smile they enjoyed in their youth. Denture changes, as designed and fitted by a dentur- ist, can help these patients recap- ture their youth. It should be the goal of the denturist to assure the design of new dentures such that they will sustain the image and appeal of a significantly younger person. Many people experience undue anxiety about visiting the denturist. Spending a few min- utes talking about infection con- trol procedures will not only boost their confidence, it will also help them to become knowledge- able dental consumers and will help us to form successful rela- tionships with our patients. There is a lot a denturist can accomplish. We ensure the correct positioning of the teeth to deter- mine proper lip support so as to provide the right labial inclina- tion and establish an automatic smile line. Setting the anterior teeth in a proper vertical inclina- tion will aid in meeting the expectation a patient has in rela- tion to their self-image. We have learned much in recent years about the physiology of aging though we are still left with the inevitable outcome and, in fact, fear the prospect of look- ing different. A comparison of a patient’s appearance today with the appearance of a few months ago may not indicate change. Nature works mysteriously, mol- ecules form and reform, taking us apart and putting us back togeth- er each and every day in an inex- plicable fashion. Consider this, as you con- template the mysteries of nature: humans grow two sets of teeth, elephants grow six sets and sharks produce an indefinite number during their lifetime. Other parts of the human body are continually regenerated, con- tinuing and affirming the circle of life. Though few of us are psy- chologically able to cope with the aging process, a denturist can help patients achieve a balance through hard work, common sense and sensitivity to patient needs. In summary, I suggest a denturist should always serious- ly consider the patient’s original individual anterior tooth arrangement through actual illus- trations of the esthetic effects and visual communication. As knowl- edge and technology advances we, as denturists, are far more capable of adequately creating the appearance our patients desire far more consistently than anyone else in dentistry. Indeed, we can help our patients re-create the youthful, smiling faces seen in those photographs.

The ‘Ready, Set, Grow Check-up’ is a new commu- nity screening program for babies and preschool chil- dren up to five years old. “As part of the health de- partment’s healthy babies/healthy children pro- gram, this new initiative is designed to assist families in monitoring their children’s growth and development,” explained program facilitator Eileen Deveau, noting new research indicates experi- ences in the first three years of life will affect a child’s learning, behaviour and de- velopment for the rest of their life. Parents will have an op- portunity to talk to profes- sionals from the health de- partment’s infant develop- ment program, Durham preschool speech and lan- guage program, Resources for Exceptional Children, Grandview Children’s Cen- tre and Family and Commu- nity Action Program. Staff from the health de- partment’s dental health pro- gram will also be on hand to complete oral assessments for children and provide in- formation about children’s dental health. A local op- tometrist will be available to perform visual screenings for children three to five years old. The drop-in session takes place from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the health depart- ment’s Ajax office, 126 Commercial Ave. For more information call the healthy babies/healthy children early identification office at 905- 427-8862 ext 331. 195 WESTNEY RD.

Shaun Sidey NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 10, 2001 PAGE 19 P Health &FITNESS NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 10, 2001 ‘Remember, they’re like zee pebbles on zee beach’ Twenty years ago, I wrote a column about my Father’s death and the huge loss I felt. It hit a positive chord with readers who thanked me for sharing my grief with them. Now, I want to share another loss with you of an old friend and colleague, Dr. Tom Jamieson. This family doctor’s death leaves a huge void in patient care. And medical schools must never let his kind become ‘the last of the Mohicans.’ I’ll never forget the impact of my final lecture at the Harvard Medical School. A tall imposing German doctor looked us all in the eye and remarked, “Remem- ber to make your patients feel as though they were zee only pebble on zee beach.” Dr. Tom Jamieson, a New- foundlander, was one of those doctors. I worked with him for a short time before specializing in surgery. He, like my German professor, helped to teach me the art of med- icine. Jamie could swear like a trooper. And he had the knack of knowing when to put it to good use in getting a message across to patients. One evening, after he had seen patients from early morning to late that evening, one of his old- timers, an 89-year-old woman, arrived at his office. Jamie was tired, but patiently listened as she rambled on and on about every ache and pain. Final- ly, Jamie looked her straight in the eye and said, “Jesus Christ Sophie, do you want to live forev- er!” Any other doctor trying this trick would have been reported to the College. But Sophie burst out laughing and left the office happi- er than she had entered it. The man’s charisma let him get away with it. I can’t envision this happening today. Rather, Sophie would be silenced quickly, a battery of tests ordered and in all probability none needed. Technology has taken the place of communica- tion, caring and humour. Tom Jamieson also knew his patients. Another incident illus- trates how a good family doctor is worth his weight in gold. One morning I entered the re- covery room after surgery to check on a patient’s condition. I noticed several doctors crowding around one of Jamie’s patients. It was obvious from the look on their faces something serious was wrong. The patient’s gallbladder had been removed without any diffi- culty. But the surgeon was concerned about his laboured breathing. In fact, so worried, he had urgently called a throat specialist for a sec- ond opinion. The specialist listened to the patient’s breathing and quickly concluded there was a major ob- struction to the airway. And that unless an immediate tracheotomy was done his life would be in danger. Luckily just as they were tak- ing the patient back to surgery Tom Jamieson arrived on the scene. The specialists advised him of the situation and the need for emergency surgery. He heard them out and then he too listened to the breathing. Fi- nally, he looked up at the assem- bled doctors and said, “Hell I’ve known George for 30 years and he always breathes that way.” That was the end of the tra- cheotomy! And the beginning of a few red faces among the spe- cialists. A recent British study asked 800 patients what they expected from a medical appointment. Eighty-eight per cent said they wanted good communication. I would add that they also want sound medical advice. And that isn’t easy to get these days. I have always told my wife and children what to do if I were crit- ically ill. If several specialists were giving different opinions as to the best treatment, and I was unable to voice my opinion, I urged them to call in Tom Jamieson. I was sure he would sort the wheat from the chaff and reach a common sense decision. Will family doctors, like Jamie, become the last of the Mo- hicans? I fear they will if medical schools continue to place more emphasis on high marks and less on personality and communica- tion. I recall a story about a White House aide. He was asked by re- porters whether President Theodore Roosevelt understood the complicated economic pack- age that was being presented to Congress. The aide thought for a moment and said, “Probably not. But Roo- sevelt knows how to be Presi- dent.” He, like Tom Jamieson, had learned the art of communi- cation. I know my old colleague would be furious at me for saying all these kind words about him. His reply could not be printed in this column! But since we worked together, few weeks have passed without one of us calling the other. How I’ll miss those calls. And now, who will my family call? W.

MOBILE SHOWROOM DURHAM —The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins bantam rep football team opened its summer season with a bang this past weekend. The Dolphins’ hammered the North York Grizzlies 43-8 in their league debut at Hamilton’s Ivor Wynn Stadium last Sunday. Dolphins’ quarterbacks Brandon Thompson and Brandon Pottle pro- vided outstanding offensive perfor- mances. Meanwhile, the defence con- sistently stifled any North York upris- ings in the contest. In other Dolphins’news, the club’s tyke house league program got under way this past weekend with games on Sunday night at Kinsmen Park in Pickering and Pickering High School in Ajax. In the opening game at Kinsmen Park, the Bulldogs claimed their first win over the Phantoms by a 31-24 score. The Phantoms received touch- downs from Adam Konkle, David Wilson and Myles Daly. Outstanding play by Bulldogs’Andre Shand, Dar- nell Brown and Tyler Milanovic kept them ahead by a touchdown. At Pickering High, the Titans beat the Blue Devils 33-0. The score did- n’t tell the entire story as the Blue Devils played a tough game against the Titans but were unable to stop a few breakaway plays. Florian Schlosser, David West and Tosh Miller Francis were key to the Titans’ offence and defence. Blue Devils’ Matt Blum, David Sanguinetti and Peter Dearness provided outstanding efforts. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atom house league also kicked off its 2001 summer season with two games last weekend. In the first contest, the Blue Devils downed the Mud Dogs 24-23. The Blue Devils opened the scoring with a touchdown and the Mud Dogs replied immediately with a major score of their own. Both sides contin- ued to play well, but the Blue Devils prevailed by a single point. Huntley Richards, Daniel Kelly and Robert Spagnola scored the Blue Devils’ touchdowns. The Blue Devils’ de- fence played solid football through- out the contest. Mud Dogs touch- downs were scored by David McIl- ravey and Ian Schofield. Lucas La- belle played a solid game for the Mud Dogs. In the other contest, the Timber- Wolves and the Warriors played to a 20-20 draw in a highly entertaining contest. The Warriors ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, but the TimberWolves replied by driving the ball downfield for a game-tying touchdown. This game had every- thing from pass plays to quarterbacks sacks. Jordan McLaughlin with two and Travis Thomas scored the Timber- Wolves touchdowns. Warriors’touch- downs were scored by Justin Davis. The offensive and defensive lines of the TimberWolves were outstanding in the contest.

The Tour — which boasts several players from Ajax and Pickering in the lineup — won all three of their round-robin games and semifinal game, but lost in the finals 4- 3 to the Ottawa Force Bears. Tour led the Bears 2-1 after the first peri- od, but Ottawa scored three times in the sec- ond with the winning goal coming with only 40 seconds remaining in the game. No scor- ing information was provided. In the semifinals, Toronto scored five unanswered goals in the second period to beat the Toronto Red Wings 7-1. Jason Crete scored twice while Chris van On- langs,Andrew Dissanayake, Kyle Cunning- ham, Danny Lefort, and Liam Reddox scored one each. The Toronto Tour squashed the Brant- ford Fire Wheels 9-1 in the first game of round-robin play. Kyle Cunningham popped four goals, Reddox scored twice, and singles went to Dissanayake, Crete, and Ryan Annesley. Tour won the second game 6-3 over the Mississauga Rattlers. Goals came from Cunningham with two, and Kyle Tate, Lefort, Reddox and Annesley with one apiece. In the third game, Dissanayake scored four times, and Kyle Zettler, Cunningham, Crete and Reddox scored once each to beat the Kitchener-Waterloo Rage 8-4. Cunningham received a trophy as the top scorer of the tournament. Other team members are Quinn Caggiu- la, James Ronald, John Scrymgeour, and Kyle Zettler. The team is coached by Rob van On- langs and Ken Mulgrew. Toronto’s Tour makes stop in Oakville Under-14 boys come up just short to Ottawa Force Bears in roller hockey final DURHAM —A duo from Courtice claimed the gold medal in the Ontario Senior Games Association’s mixed doubles tennis event in Pickering last Friday. The annual Durham tournament was origi- nally slated to be contested at the Sandy Beach Tennis Club in Pickering, but cold tem- peratures and wind necessitated the tourney be moved indoors to the Pickering Recreation Complex’s courts. Ed Taylor and Regny Vandyck from Cour- tice won the gold medal. Meanwhile, Ed Fry and Loida Woodford from Pickering earned the silver medal. The bronze went to the team of Lourencao Conceicao and Muriel Brown, also from Pick- ering.

Oakridge Golf Club is the Seventh Qualifying Site for the Third Annual Durham Region Hole in One Shootout. The beautiful rolling moraine countryside provides the setting for Thomas McBroom’s superbly designed Oakridge Golf Club and its deceptively challenging 18-hole championship course. You’ll find a par 71, 6400 yard course with bent grass fairways, 60 strategically placed bunkers and water on 8 holes. Most golfers will find the big test at Oakridge is in the approach shots at greens that are well protected by water and large bunkers. Oakridge offers two practice greens, a driving range and opening this summer, Warren’s Glen, a new heated indoor practice facility. There are also men’s and women’s change rooms equipped with lockers, showers and blow dryers. Oakridge also offers a fully stocked pro shop, with club sets to brand name clothing all available at very Golf Operations Manager Jim Roy attractive prices. The Oakridge Bar & Grill pro- vides an excellent licensed setting for a casual get together before and after your enjoyable round. Golf Hint:Golf Operations Manager Jim Roy says that hitting your ball 150 yards into the pin on hole #1 will require a firm yet delicate stroke to keep your ball away from side bunkers, yet placed well on the gentle sloped green - and hopefully into the cup!
