AT A GLANCE No new money for Durham Access to Care DURHAM — A provincial freeze on funding for community access centres will have an im- pact on home-care clients in Durham, says the local agency. “There will be some impact,” said Esther Filer, community and public relations co-ordinator for Durham Access To Care (DATC), the agency that oversees all homemaking and home nursing services in Durham Region. But she said DATC is working to ensure any impact is kept to a minimum. DATC’s priority, and that of its partners, is to ensure the clients with the greatest needs receive services. “We’re obviously going to have to make some changes,” she said. “We will have to make some decisions.” The Province has frozen fund- ing for access centres across Ontario while a consultant con- ducts a review to ensure ser- vices are being provided consis- tently. DATC’s funding has been frozen at the 2000 level of ap- proximately $41 million, Ms. Filer said. Officials had been hoping for increased funding this year to accommodate growth in popula- tion and need, she added. In the next week or so, DATC will inform its partners, including service agencies and local hos- pitals, of its plans to deal with the freeze.

The daughter of Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Regional Coun- cillor Scott Crawford, Ms. Crawford jumped for an un- known reason into Duffins Creek near a dam between Hwy. 401 and Kingston Road. Durham Regional Police have determined alcohol was a fac- tor in the incident, which is being described as an “unfor- tunate misadventure”. Proceeds from the fund will be used to help the family cover the costs of the funeral and to set up a bursary in Ms. Crawford’s name at Ajax High School. Coun. Crawford described his daughter as “fabulous. “Here’s a girl whose life was on the upswing, on the launching pad... She was al- ways happy,” Coun. Crawford said. “She called home at 3:30 a.m. (Saturday) and talked to her sister (Ashley). She was in great spirits, said she was happy and coming home. Oh, I’m going to miss her.” Ms. Crawford was known as ‘Mouse’ because “she was not that big”, her father noted. “When there was a problem with Ashley, I asked Melody to talk with her. Ashley thought she was the coolest person on the planet, which she was,” Coun. Crawford said. When she left home, “she said ‘I love you’ and I said ‘I love you Mouse’. I gave her a hug and out she went,” he said. Ms. Crawford graduated from Ajax High School two years ago and had enrolled in a graphics program at Geor- gian College in Barrie last September. But, she returned home halfway through the se- mester, Coun. Crawford said. “Dad’s cooking was better.” She had started a job with a firm in Toronto that cata- logued material for architec- tural firms. Her father said she wanted to start her own cloth- ing and fashion business, to be called Mouse Pads. Durham Regional Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said police are unsure how Ms. Crawford, who was Head injury killed Ajax mother of three Common-law husband back in court June 20 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer AJAX —A mother of three found dead inside the trunk of her car in a shopping plaza last Thursday night was killed early that morning, police now know, but despite an arrest in the case, detectives are at a loss to explain why. Durham Regional Police said Andrea Schneider, 38, died from blunt force head in- juries inflicted in the garage at her Perfitt Crescent home. James Stewart Poland, her 38-year-old common-law hus- band, appeared Monday in Os- hawa court on a charge of sec- ond-degree murder in her death. He was remanded into cus- tody and is scheduled to be back in court June 20. Police found Ms. Schnei- der’s body in the trunk of her Oldsmobile, parked at the Durham Centre plaza at Har- wood Avenue and Kingston Road, after receiving a 911 call at 8:30 p.m. About an hour after the dis- covery, tactical officers arrest- ed Mr. Poland outside the cou- ple’s nearby home as he was loading their children into the family van. He was carrying his terminally ill daughter, seven-year-old Stephanie, who suffers from Batten disease, from the house when arrested. Ms. Schneider was execu- tive secretary to the board of directors at the Royal Ontario Museum, but did not show up for work on Thursday. Police said she was killed early in the morning, placed in the car and driven to the lot.

Pickering councillors make ‘history’ Citizens laud defeat of golf course housing plan BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering councillors have turned down yet another proposal to build homes on the Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club in north Pickering. The City’s committee of the whole voted Monday to refuse a development application from Cherry Downs Co Venture Ltd. seeking to build 125 homes ad- jacent to the company’s golf course on 7th Concession Road. City staff had recommended council allow 80 homes on the site, but councillors agreed with area residents who told them Monday that not even one home should be built at Cherry Downs. “I feel history is being made right now,” said north Pickering resident Steve Murray, who called the development applica- tion the “epitome” of urban sprawl. “This is precedent-mak- ing. If you vote against it our history will see the members of this council as heroes who had the vision (to protect the area from sprawl).” The Cherry Downs proposal, which also calls for communal servicing, was first brought be- fore the municipality in 1993, when it involved the construc- tion of about 300 homes near the golf course. That initial ap- plication was altered and a re- vised 225-home proposal was submitted to the Town in Au- gust 1995 and defeated by council in January 1996. The latest application has the plan calling for 125 homes. In an interview,Angie Jones, executive director of the Durham Conservation Associa- tion, said she was “thrilled” with the committee’s decision. “They’ve obviously done their homework on smart growth and urban sprawl,” she said. Preventing urban sprawl was the primary concern expressed by many of the roughly 50 area residents who attended Mon- day’s meeting. Other concerns raised included protecting Pick- ering’s agricultural land and the impact of the proposed develop- ment on water levels in local creeks. However, Peter Smith of Bousfield, Dale-Harris, Cutler & Smith Inc., the consulting firm representing Cherry MAURICE BRENNER ‘Send a powerful message to the Ontario Municipal Board.’ MELODY CRAWFORD ‘Happy’teen phoned to say she was heading home.See FUND page A2 A.J.

Malik. That information came from a young man at the scene, a friend of the deceased, whom Sgt. Malik said went into the water to try and rescue her. When he could not, he placed a 911 call at around 4:30 a.m., responded to by police, fire and ambulance. Twenty minutes later, Ms. Craw- ford’s body was pulled from the water, roughly 300 feet south of the dam. Coun. Craw- ford praised the young man who tried to save his daughter. “He almost drowned trying to save her. That kid’s a hero, al- though he does- n’t feel like it right now,” he said. Coun. Craw- ford added, “The family would like to thank all the well-wish- ers, the cards and the calls,” and those who dropped off food.

Fund being set up in memory of Ajax teen FUND from page A1 Police continue to probe murder Police say the couple’s two sons, five-year-old Thomas and 11-year-old John Michael, were home at the time, but did not witness the attack. Stephanie, who was taken by her father to the Hospital for Sick Children later in the day after a seizure, is believed to have been at school at the time of the killing. Police have seized a weapon, but are not saying what it was. Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman, said a “tragic set of circumstances led to the death” of Ms. Schneider, but noted there were no previous reports to police of domestic violence from the home. Neighbours and friends de- scribed Mr. Poland as a devot- ed father who gave up work as a butcher three years ago to stay home and care for Stephanie, who is blind, needs a wheelchair and requires around-the-clock care. The couple had been to- gether for more than 11 years. Detective Steve Illing, lead homicide investigator, said there is no obvious motive for the slaying. Stephanie’s condition was a tremendous pressure on the couple, but otherwise they ap- peared to lead an average life, the detective said. “At the surface this wasn’t a normal family in as much as you have a severely disabled child and that is a huge under- taking for any family. “But outside of that, they appeared to be a normal, func- tioning family. There is no real explanation that we can make sense of at this point,” Det. Illing said. John Michael and Thomas are staying with their maternal grandmother, who lives in Burlington, while Stephanie is currently being cared for at the Hospital for Sick Children, where her needs can be met. “There are some very young, very confused and dev- astated young people dealing with this tragedy right now,” said Det. Illing. He said Ms. Schneider’s family has asked for privacy as they grieve. Funeral services were to be held Tuesday in Burlington. Later in the evening, John Michael was scheduled to par- ticipate in the singing of the national anthems at the Toron- to Blue Jays baseball game at SkyDome, as a member of the Canadian Children’s Opera Choir. “I think for all concerned, the family thought it would be a good thing that he continued (with the performance). His mother would have wanted him to,” said family friend Leo Feliciano, adding John Michael had been a member of the Toronto-based choir for at least a couple of years.

Read all about it online at durhamregion.com Inmates start fires at Whitby Jail Force needed to end tense standoff between inmates and guards BY JOE CHIN Staff Writer DURHAM -Inmates at the Whit- by Jail who started fires within the facility were removed by force after a tense standoff Tuesday. What started out as series of small fires set by inmates soon escalated into a standoff between the group of inmates and guards, backed up by the Durham Police Tactical Team. Negotiations ended around 5 p.m. and the Institutional Crisis Interven- tion Team was called to the jail. Of- ficials had to physically remove the eight inmates who were holed up in one area of the jail. Durham Police media spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said no one was injured, but three guards were taken to hospital and treated for smoke in- halation. Corrections spokesman Julia Noo- nan said the uprising started earlier in the day in the third floor common area shared by eight prisoners of the provincial facility. She said guards eventually managed to initiate a lockdown, but the situation escalated with a fire getting out of control. The fire department was called at 3 p.m. The Durham Police Tactical Unit arrived at the scene around 3:10 p.m. While Sgt. Malik was reluctant to de- scribe the situation as a riot or upris- ing, he did say two Ontario Provin- cial Police negotiators were in com- munication with the inmates in- volved. Bill Carson, one of the guards treated on scene for smoke inhala- tion, said inmates covered their faces to avoid the fumes and barricaded doors with various pieces of tied clothing. He said because it was a plastic fire, smoke inside was thick and black, making it near impossible to see. All through the afternoon, curious neighbours lined the street to take in the unfolding drama. “I hope they get the situation under control soon,” said Tom Peters, who lives on Byron Street South across from the jail. “I’ve been living here for a year-and-a-half and this sort of thing is so disruptive. My wife thinks it’s time to move out of here.” Sgt. Malik said the situation at Whitby Jail has nothing to do with the earlier vandalizing of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s constituency office on Dundas Street. “Those people are being detained at police headquarters in Oshawa, and not here,” he said. Sgt. Malik said four of the in- mates would be transferred to Mill- haven Correctional Facility and the other four would remain in Whitby. Charges are pending an investigation to assess who instigated the uprising. The Whitby Fire Department was also assisting to assess the amount of damage caused to the jail by the in- mates. - With files by Crystal Crimi WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM -Members of Durham Regional Police’s tactical unit set up positions around Whitby Jail Tuesday after fires were started by inmates inside the facility.

Mr. Smith also pointed out Cherry Downs has re- moved a proposal for nine estate lots from the applica- tion, which would drop the number of units to 116. He reported the company was concerned with the staff recommendation to further reduce that number to 80 units, saying such a move is not “necessary or desirable”. But, Brian Buckles of the Green Door Alliance told councillors that approving the application would con- flict with the City’s rural growth targets, which call for a population increase of between 100 and 600 people in new rural settlements until the year 2016. Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner, who moved the motion to refuse the development applica- tion, said councillors have a responsibility to ensure the “fabulous blend of rural and urban lifestyles” continues in Pickering. He urged his colleagues to turn down the application and “send a powerful mes- sage to the Ontario Munici- pal Board (OMB)”. However, Mayor Wayne Arthurs supported the staff plan, which he said had a “high degree of consisten- cy... with our Official Plan... it reflects a country residen- tial form.” The development appli- cation will go to council next week and will be the subject of an OMB hearing this fall.

Pickering committee nixes housing bid PICKERING from page A1 ‘Pink letter’kills public board summer school Lack of teachers signing on forces cancellation of classes BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —A lack of teach- ers has forced the Durham Dis- trict School Board to cancel its summer school program for high school students. A Tuesday morning press re- lease states local public high school students can apply to the Durham Catholic District School Board’s (DCDSB) program, ex- panded to offer more courses and a fourth high school site. The public board elementary summer program is not affected. “The Durham District School Board regrets any inconvenience caused by this decision but is pleased to have the support of the DCDSB to ensure secondary stu- dents have the opportunity to earn credits and continue their educa- tion this summer,” stated educa- tion director Grant Yeo. Operations superintendent Norm Powers stated “the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Fed- eration’s ‘pink letter’has been ef- fective in deterring secondary school teachers from delivering summer school this year.” The bulletin to OSSTF mem- bers advises them “not to apply for or accept any teaching posi- tion or position of added responsi- bility in the regular day school programs” at the board until a col- lective agreement is reached. Teachers face penalties from OSSTF for doing so. The public board normally re- quires about 150 elementary and high school teachers for its sum- mer school program, which has a total enrolment of between 3,300 and 5,000 students. Three weeks ago Mr. Powers said the board did not even have half the number of high school teachers it needs for summer school. Mel Barkwill, a centrally as- signed principal with the public board, said in an interview 172 high school students had signed up for summer school and the board had 27 high school teachers when the plug was pulled. He explained those students represent pupils who have planned ahead for summer school. The second semester is not yet finished and many more students are expected to sign up. Summer school was to have begun July 4. “At this point in time we’re not prepared to gamble,” said Mr. Barkwill. As a result of the public board’s situation, the Catholic board will offer summer high school courses at four sites, in- stead of the intended three. They are St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering, Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax, Whitby’s Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School and Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Oshawa. “The DCDSB welcomes all students to apply for programs being offered this year,” stated Paul Pulla, Catholic board sec- ondary schools superintendent. “Secondary students in the north- ern areas of Durham are encour- aged to register with one of the four DCDSB sites or with one of our neighbouring boards.” Questions about registering for summer school programs can be directed to the Catholic board’s continuing and alternative educa- tion site in Ajax at 905-683-7713.

Meeting a need whose time has come — most would say it came years ago — the feds have instituted six new com- muter trains to link riders to downtown Toronto from Oshawa, Kitchener and Hamilton. The measure will add 1,000 extra seats on the trains and will help, at least to a small degree, decrease road congestion on GTA highways. Federal Transport Minister David Collenette made the an- nouncement on the commuter-train increase Monday at the Toronto Smog Summit with one eye on reducing congestion, the other on reducing pollution. Mr. Collenette’s plan will also see Oshawa commuters given the unique option of using VIA trains instead of GO trains if they so choose. The upgrade to VIA would come with an extra payment, though the amount has not yet been deter- mined. The VIA option may draw even more people off high- ways and onto the comfortable trains. The only solutions for the overuse of the highway is to ex- pand the 401 from six to 12 lanes from Ajax to Clarington and to extend Hwy. 407 to Clarington; and/or to increase the fre- quency and amount of GO/VIA trains coming through Durham. The highway expansion option is incredibly expensive and though it will come in time, could easily take a decade or more to accomplish. On the other hand, adding train service is far less pricey and much easier to implement quickly and efficiently. What’s more, it’s much better for the environment, not a minor consideration to be sure. Mr. Collenette, who represents a Toronto riding and who also acts as federal minister with special responsibility for the GTA, has indicated that if the new measure is self-supporting and successful, more trains could be on the way. The extra trains hit the rails this fall, with service that will also include an extra train per day to Peterborough. While this is a federal initiative, Mr. Collenette has said he expects more money to come from the Province to support transit use. The Province has already said it expects transit to be supported at the regional and municipal government level. However, for commuter transit to be all that it must be for Canada’s largest and fastest-growing area, it will take a com- bined effort from all four levels of government. Pickering politician Dave Ryan isn’t one to get his name in the paper. He works behind the scenes on behalf of his Ward 1 city constituents; when he speaks on an issue at committee and council meetings, it’s always thoughtful and informed. Therefore, it was surprising to hear him speak out so publicly last week against the entourage of Pickering politi- cians who attended the Federation of Canadian Municipali- ties (FCM) Conference in picturesque Banff, Alberta. To be precise, Coun. Ryan wondered if the motivation for Mayor Wayne Arthurs, and councillors Maurice Bren- ner, Mark Holland, Bill McLean, and David Pickles to at- tend the event was based more on destination than dedica- tion. Good question. In a year that has seen property taxes rise across the board — and nearly 10 per cent on the municipal portion — it’s simply not appropriate for such a large contingent of our representatives to spend several days away at a lavish, ex- pensive function on the taxpayers’ tab. Some questions which come to mind: If so many councillors were away, who was minding constituent issues here at home? Are citizen needs put on hold while their municipal politicians are at the other end of the country? Did it occur to anyone to send a representative, two (or even three), with provisions for them to formally report back to council? In the absence of that, chief administrative officer Tom Quinn, who also attended, could formally re- port to council on issues, ideas or developments of interest from the conference. He’s certainly capable. How much did it cost the taxpayers of Pickering to send this large group to a tourist centre in the Rocky Mountains, including airfare, accommodations, meals and sundry items? These questions were surely on the mind of Coun. Ryan as he listened to his colleagues gush about how worthy the FCM conference was, and how Pickering attendance — in such goodly numbers — was a good investment. One more question: How many Pickering councillors will sign up next year for the FCM Conference in... Hamil- ton? Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 13, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Aborting a life never the right thing to do To the editor: Re: ‘Many factors go into a woman’s decision to abort a child,’letter to the editor, June 6. I am sure Harriette Mostert - whose June 1 opinion shaper column ‘Abortion the leading cause of death in Canada’drew a response from Michele Gagnon — is well aware of the world around her and knows only too well that not every pregnant woman is in a position to proper- ly care for her child. The fact that the mother may be single, under 20, was raped, or for any other reason does not want her baby, still does not give her the right to take another human being’s life. Even the possibility that a baby may be handicapped in some way does not warrant the taking of his life. What right do we have to de- cide whether a life is worth liv- ing? Don’t tell me that aborting a baby because “the mother felt that in her heart she could not care for that child” is anything but a totally selfish act. There is another solution. There are many, many childless couples who long to adopt a baby, even a handicapped baby, and give him/her a loving home. The waiting lists are endless. Certainly, to go through nine months of pregnancy only to give the baby up for adoption is a terribly difficult thing, but life is full of difficult things. To give life rather than take life is the most loving, unselfish thing a mother can do. Sure there are two sides to every story, and everyone has his opinions, but in the end, the tak- ing of life is never, never the right thing to do. Linda Wainwright, Pickering Moment of conception begins stages, development of life To the editor: Re: ‘Many factors go into a woman’s decision to abort a child,’letter to the editor, June 6. Let me unequivocally state that all of the hypothetical questions and situations Michele Gagnon posed, vis-a-vis that “abortion is a very controversial subject”, are ir- relevant. When considered in the light of the tenets of my Christian Creed, there is a Supreme Being who has complete dominion over life and death, which one cannot appropriate to oneself, or delegate to another as a so-called ‘right’ that has no foundation either in ethics, reason or religion. The question as to when a human “person” begins is a philo- sophical question, not a scientific one, but ‘personhood’ begins when the human being begins at fertilization. The current popular “personhood” claims in bioethics are based on a mythological sci- ence, which, to put it bluntly, is nothing more that an assortment of quack philosophical, theologi- cal and scientific figments. At the First International Con- ference on Abortion, held in Washington, D.C. in 1967, which brought together renowned au- thorities from around the world in the fields of medicine, law, ethics and the social sciences, the first major question considered was: “When does human life begin?” The unanimous conclusion was: “The group could find no point in time between the union of the sperm and the egg, or at least the blastocyst stage, at which point we could say that this was not a human life. The changes oc- curring between implantation, a six-week embryo, a six-month fetus, a one-week child and a ma- ture adult are merely stages of de- velopment and maturation.” I rest my case. John E.G. Stone, Pickering A Rocky decision At what cost to residents did five City councillors jet off to Banff? New commuter train’s a GO Extra route through Durham should help with highway gridlock Did you hear the one about the Newcastle priest and the Ajax fi- nancial analyst? One steals a combined $1 mil- lion from a pair of former em- ployers, including the Town of Ajax, while the other robs a teenaged boy of his innocence. If you’re waiting for the punch line, there isn’t any. Indeed, the joke is on Joe Public. On a recent Friday morning, justice was administered in these two separate high-profile sen- tences, the first beginning at 8 a.m. in Superior Court of Justice in Whitby where Father Patrick Herlihey, a youthful 48 years old, stood in the prisoner’s dock and received an 18-month conditional sentence. The sentence allows the for- mer pastor of St. Francis of Assisi and chaplain at Bowmanville’s St. Stephen’s High School to serve his jail term in the commu- nity under so-called “house ar- rest.”As an additional punishment - and we use the term very loose- ly - he was ordered by Justice Alf Stong to write three letters to newspapers detailing his crimes and host a panel discussion for Catholic church officials dealing with the topic of sexual abuse. Two hours later, in the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa, a sobbing and remorseful Brian Lee Wilson, his sincere and tear- ful apology to the court in sharp contrast to Father Herlihey’s hol- low denials of guilt, admitted to an astonishingly simple scheme by which he defrauded the Town of Ajax and another former em- ployer, INCO, of hundreds of thousands to feed a gambling ad- diction. For this crime of pure greed, the convicted swindler who looks more the part of computer geek than devious con - he presented an image of a pathetic, sweaty, emotional and oversized mass - must serve four-years of hard time in the federal penitentiary system. Is it just me, or does some- thing not seem right about a judi- cial system that imprisons the thief and allows the child sexual abuser to simply go home? The principle of sentencing, as mandated by Parliament, is based largely on deterrence and denun- ciation, in other words sending a message to individual offenders and society in general. So let’s take a minute to re- view: Father Herlihey is found guilty of sexually fondling and kissing a vulnerable youth, who was between 14 and 17, follow- ing a trial that forced the victim, now 30, to go through the painful process of testifying and reliving the past and receives not a day in jail. As for Mr. Wilson, four years in prison for what amounts to fraud. Yes, he is a crook (although not a very good one at that) and must be punished. But in comparison to the priest, his crimes pale in conse- quence. The money he swindled from the Town is covered by the mu- nicipality’s insurance. As for the victim of Father Herlihey, who court was told bat- tled substance abuse throughout the early stages of life and slept with a gun until recently, there is no form of restitution available for the loss of adolescence. On this recent Friday morning, the message from the courts was clear. Courts send a dangerous message Why is punishment for fraud worse than sex assault on youth? Stephen Shaw Staff Writer shouston@durhamregion.com You said it The question was: Do members of Parliament deserve a 20-per cent pay increase? Deanna Hackney said, “No, they get paid enough for not doing very much. They don’t deserve any pay raises.” Joe Marks said,“Yeah, I think they do. They work long hours and de- serve a raise. I feel paying them more pro- duces less chance of cor- ruption.” Zoltan Szinessy said,“Definite- ly not. They are only there to come up with ideas to raise our taxes. That is their only job besides voting themselves a big increase.” 24 Hour Access 420-4660 cityofpickering.com420-2222 Petticoat Creek Library & Community Centre Opening Events June 14th to 16th Call 905-420-6588 Antique Car Show Sun., June 24 11 a.m.-5 p.m. To register 905-649-2664 For info 905-683-8401 OPERATIONS & EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENTCITY OF PICKERING PUBLIC MEETINGS For Locations, Times or Details Call 905-420-2222 Committee of AdjustmentJune 13 City Council MeetingJune 18 Statutory Public Information MeetingJune 20 June 25 Committee of the Whole City Council Meeting July Summer Recess of Council July 4 Committee of Adjustment NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING Notion Road Land Use & Urban Design Study In December of 1999, the Town of Ajax and the City of Pickering commenced work on the Notion Road Land Use and Urban Design Study. As set out in the Terms of Reference which were approved by both Ajax and Pickering Councils in November 1999, the purpose of the study is to review existing land uses, urban design matters and traffic matters for the lands within the Study Area. A total of 5 Open Houses were held where staff presented a number of land use options and discussed urban design principles for the area. The Town is proposing that the lands east of Notion Road in the Town of Ajax be re-designated from “General Employment” to “Prestige Employment” with certain existing industrial uses being permitted to continue. On the west side of Notion Road in the City of Pickering, Pickering staff are proposing re-designating the lands from “Urban Study Area” to “Mixed Employment”. The Ajax amendments will be considered by the Ajax Community Affairs & Planning Committee, at a meeting to be held on Monday, June 18th, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Ajax Municipal Office, 65 Harwood Avenue South, Ajax. The copy of the Town’s proposed Official Plan Amendment, adopting By-law and Study Report are available at the Ajax Planning and Development Services Department, located at 75 Chambers Drive. The Staff Cover Report, dated June 18th, 2001, will be available after 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 15th, 2001. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Ajax Official Plan Amendment and/or zoning By-law Amendment you must make a written request to the Town of Ajax Clerk’s Department, 65 Harwood Avenue South, Ajax, Ontario, L1S 2H9 by Monday, June 18th, 2001, before 4:00 p.m. If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Town in respect of the proposed Official Plan Amendment and/or Zoning By-law Amendment, but does not make oral submission at the Public Meeting or make written submissions to the Town of Ajax before the proposed Official Plan Amendment and/or Zoning By-law Amendment is adopted, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal.

Well into the afternoon people were approaching City staff asking for the composters and blue boxes. Encouraging backyard composting is the most cost-effective way to keep organ- ics out of the waste stream. Last year, the Region of Durham initiated a pilot project in Courtice that asked residents of 1,500 homes to separate or- ganic kitchen scraps and place them with their yard trimmings. At present, any of Durham’s mu- nicipalities could begin, on any scale and then expand, a separate collection for all compostable materials that would be sent to a composting facility. Durham Re- gion is studying various collec- tion methods (reusable cart ver- sus paper or plastic bags.) From a business/financial standpoint, BioCycle Magazine reported a banker’s viewpoint in its April issue. Steve Gutmann, a commercial lender and credit an- alyst with ShoreBank Pacific in Portland, Oregon answered this question at BioCycle’s west coast composting conference, “What makes a recycling/com- posting deal bankable?” “From our perspective as bankers, we think the compost- ing industry as a whole is promising. We view it as a sun- rise industry. In one sense, it is quite unique in the business world, since there are at least two - and in some cases, three - po- tential revenue streams. You don’t see many businesses that get money for accepting ‘stuff’, then hold onto it for a while, add a little value or mix (or grind) it up, and then get money for sell- ing it at the other end,” he said. “Usually, you have to pay for raw materials. In the composting business you can get paid at one end, get paid at the other — and then some operators even obtain a third revenue stream by captur- ing methane and generating elec- trical power.” We have become a society of technological wizardry, yet it is taking years to come to terms with the fact that we can no longer deplete the earth’s re- sources. If citizens are educated about environmental concerns — resource management being only one issue — they will do their part. It is time to put into practice what has now been discussed and studied to death. COMING EVENT:The Com- posting Council of Canada’s an- nual conference is Nov 14 to 16 in Montreal.

That’s because the 18-year-old gymnast captured the gold medal on the rings at the recent Canadian Artis- tic Gymnastics Championships in Saint John, New Brunswick. A member of the Oshawa-based Durham Whiz Kids Gymnastics Acad- emy, Charbonneau won the gold medal on rings, while also winning the bronze medal on pommel horse and eventually placing seventh overall in Canada in the national over-15 catego- ry His other results at nationals in- cluded a sixth on parallel bars, eighth on vault, 20th on high bar and 23rd on floor. Being his first-ever appearance at the Canadian championships, Char- bonneau was more than happy with how the event unfolded. “I was very pleased. It was a very good show- ing for me. I went there to do my best. I had a really good com- petition and everything just seemed to click,” said Charbonneau, an OAC student at Dunbarton High School in that school’s high-performance athlete program. Durham Whiz Kids’ head coach Ray Collingham said he was a bit caught off guard that his prized pupil did so well in his first national appear- ance, where he competed against 31 athletes. “I was surprised considering we weren’t even going to put him in na- tionals. They implemented a whole new stream of requirements, so we put him in for the experience. We weren’t really expecting him to do as well as he did,” said Collingham. “Kyle worked very hard to accomplish his goals and represented himself very well at the Canadian championships.” Also surprising for Charbonneau was his gold-medal win. He admitted his strongest event over the past two seasons has been the pommel horse. This year, the rings have supplanted the pommel horse. “My favourite event has always been the pommel horse,” said Char- bonneau. “In the last two years, I’ve done well on rings, but usually my top event has been the pommel horse; tra- ditionally it has been my strongest event.” His results at nationals followed an outstanding meet at the provincial championships in North Bay earlier this year. There, he finished third overall in his national over-15 catego- ry, finishing first on rings and vault, second on pommel horse and third on parallel bars. Charbonneau was the all-around junior champion at the provincial championships in 2000. In gymnastics for the past seven years, mostly in the Whiz Kids’ pro- gram, Charbonneau said he plans to compete in the national over-15 divi- sion for two more years before mak- ing the jump to the senior national level. He would eventually like to com- pete for Canada at the Olympics. “Olympics is definitely the highest goal I would like to do,” he said.

"I have been given the opportunity to help someone realize his or her dreams. I have been given a chance to make a difference. This is a very exciting and satisfying." This is the response one gets when asking Larry O'Leary why he works so many hours at the O'Leary's School of Drama. Larry, Artistic Director of the school is so proud of the achievements of his students that it is difficult to get him to talk about his own achievements. They are many! As an Actor he has performed all over Toronto both on TV and Stage. He is an award winning Stage Director with credits far to numerous to mention. One thing is for certain, when it is known that O'Leary is directing a play there is no shortage of people ready to audition. Larry started the Town of Pickering's Parks and Recreation Drama Programme some 15 years ago and built it from one class with 6 children to over 10 classes a week for children and adults. During this period, Larry was busy acting and directing at Herongate Barn Dinner Theatre and elsewhere. Larry's volunteer activities are not something he talks about but it is a well known fact that whether it be Big Sisters, Ajax Pickering Hospital, Local Schools or any deserving charity, Larry is always there. A former Chairman of the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board, O'Leary has been teaching Acting and Theatre to children and adults now for over 20 years. "It was so wonderful to see these talented youngsters perform." "Drama and Theatre Arts should be a compulsory Course!" He states. "There is nothing else that better prepares a child to go through life. It teaches them how to interact with others, how to deal with their emotions and it opens their minds to some of the f inest literature ever written." With this philosophy it is not surprising that the O'Leary School of Drama in Pickering is such a success. With classes for students ages six to 16 and a very successful Adult programme. "Our students come to us from all over Durham Region as well as Scarborough, Toronto, North York, Sutton and Stouville." The highlight of this school year will be the "Summer Camp with a Difference", to be held at the beautiful Pickering Museum Village. One and two week sessions will be offered from July 3rd until August 24th. "Location is so important", says O'Leary. So this year, thanks to wonderful cooperation from the Town of Pickering, the campers will study, learn, play and perform in a rural 19th century village, set in a serene, grassy, 27 acres site. Some of the students will perform a play especially written for the camp. The play will be presented to all visitors to the Museum in August. It seems that this "Camp with a Difference" is going to be an instant success. It teaches and encourages creativity, initiative, social skills, teamwork and self conf idence. Students will learn acting, voice, movement, improv, audition skills, script work and much much more. In addition there will be theme days, costume days, barbecue days, treasure hunts and visits from guest celebrities. All under the watchful eye of O'Leary himself and a highly qualified staff. Pickering Transit will be providing a special bus to transport students daily from the school to the camp and back. "This has been a wonderful year for us" says O'Leary. "Lisa B." was accepted into the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York. "Bradley C." made a G.M. commercial. "Joe L." did a print ad for Good Year Tire and Rubber. So many of our students have achieved success this year, it is hard to keep track. There are so many unscrupulous schools and agencies out there, it is so refreshing to come upon a school, which is not only affordable, but whose goal is to provide the finest theatrical training.

The choral group has been invited to perform at the Festival of Lights Canada Day celebrations in Charlotte- town on July 1. “This is a very exciting opportuni- ty for the Young Singers,” said direc- tor Anna Lynn Murphy. “After our performance on Canada Day in Ot- tawa last year, we wanted to take on another adventure. We are looking for- ward to exploring the sites and tradi- tional music of the Maritimes on our trip.” The Young Singers of Ajax will tour P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia from June 28 to July 9. In addi- tion to their Canada Day performance, they will also perform with the inter- nationally acclaimed Men of the Deeps singing group, composed of working and retired coal miners from Cape Breton Island. The Ajax group will also participate in a choral work- shop at Dalhousie University and will be giving a number of community per- formances throughout the Maritimes. The Young Singers of Ajax was founded in 1992 by Ms. Murphy in co-operation with the Town of Ajax’s recreation services. Since that time, more than 400 children have been through the program and the choirs have participated in a variety of events, including ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ with Donny Osmond, a 10-day tour of NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 13, 2001 PAGE B3 A/P Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 13, 2001 Young Singers of Ajax head east Let us entertain you!Read up online at durhamregion.com Kinsmen club serves up Home Week sizzle AJAX —A steak dinner and some great music should add up to a great night Saturday.

Shoot, during his stay at the U.S. Women’s Open, the Forecaddie took a tour of the Taxidermy Hall of Fame and played a little checkers down at the garage with Goober. (Unfortunately, Goober won the best-of-seven series.) Seriously, though, Pine Nee- dles has proved to be a terrific golf course for the U.S. Women’s Open and a deserving recipient for another in 2007. Though on paper the track appears short at 6,256 yards, the par-4 holes — six of which measure 400 yards or more — pack plenty of mus- cle, and the typical Donald Ross greens serve as a quality defense against low scoring. Two Women’s Opens have produced only three 72-hole scores below par and two mar- quee champions in Annika Sorenstam and Karrie Webb. In fact, included among this year’s final groups was the 2000 U.S. Open winner (Webb), and the champs from 1999 (Juli Inkster) and 1998 (Se Ri Pak). As the famed adage goes, the U.S. Open is not supposed to embarrass the game’s best play- ers, but identify them. Bravo, Pine Needles. TAP-INS & LIP-OUTS The selection of the late Bob- by Locke as one of two Memori- al Honorees in 2002 is the second attempt in seven years by the Memorial Tournament to pay homage to the South African putting genius. Locke, a four- time British Open champion, was selected as honoree in 1995, but the gesture was rescinded when Locke’s wife and daughter de- manded they be paid for the hon- or. Sadly, Locke’s wife and daughter committed suicide last fall. ... One of the first get-well cards received by Ely Callaway was from Titleist’s Wally Uihlein, an oversize card that the 81-year- old Callaway company patriarch reportedly found hilarious. ... Latest player added to the IMG stable? Dottie Pepper . ... Leading driver at the men’s NCAAs:TaylorMade 300 se- ries. ... Buzz at the NCAAs was that Hunter Mahan, the 1999 U.S. Junior champ who won two tournaments as a freshman at Southern Cal this season, is not very fond of L.A. traffic and longs to return closer to his home in Texas. Potential candi- dates should he transfer? Okla- homa State,Texas and Southern Methodist. ... Yet another player is talking about the Titleist Pro V1 going 12 to 15 yards farther off the tee when the seam is aligned a certain way. The play- er? Jack Nicklaus. — Golfweek T iger Woods has won every major cham- pionship but one since July 1999. That hefty haul,of course,includes five of the last six and a record four in a row. It follows that,because of Woods, winning a Grand Slam title these days for other elite golfers is a high- ly difficult task, maybe more so than ever. It also fol- lows that Woods, perhaps, is in the heads of fellow marquee names at these annual significant gatherings. “Sure he is into players’ heads,” Hall of Famer Tom Watson said. “There is an intimidation factor. Everybody looks at what Tiger is doing.” Other veterans concurred. Jack Nicklaus, Hale Ir- win, Ben Crenshaw and Nick Price didn’t hesitate to answer in the affirmative when asked if Woods’pres- ence has become a mental burden for leading chal- lengers. “Absolutely,” Crenshaw said. “It’s psychological. When we were all chasing Jack,we were 2 down before we started because we knew he wouldn’t make a mental mis- take.” Most of Woods’contempo- raries, however, don’t buy into the premise, at least publicly. Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Jesper Parnevik and Justin Leonard are proud competitors who in effect say phooey to the in-the-noggin business. Of top contenders, Ernie Els came closest to allowing Woods a mental edge. “It’s more than we thought,”said Els,winner of two U.S. Opens. “Me,I expect to see him up there. I can’t speak for the other guys, but it seems like it’s had an effect. Especially at Augusta, you could see mistakes others made. It’d be nice to give him a go, but he’s got my number now. I just want to get better myself. I can’t think of Tiger all the time. It’s good that I’ve got two majors already, so I don’t have the pressure others do.” The two sides of the issue basically are separated by age. Veterans past their prime say one thing; current top-ranked professionals dissent. Nicklaus,for one,speaks from decades of experience in the Woods role. “Sure, of course I intimidated the guys, as Tiger does now,” Nicklaus said. “They’d come tell me I intimidated them. Now, it’s quite obvious that when Tiger’s coming down the stretch and he’s got a chance to win the golf tour- nament, everybody’s looking to see what he’s doing. They don’t even look to see what they’re doing. And of course that’s obviously a big advantage to him.” For his part,Woods says he likes his position. He main- tains his six professional major victories, 12 shy of Nick- laus’record, afford him two advantages. “I’ve already won mine and I’ve gotten that out of the way, so I don’t have to answer those questions day in and day out,” Woods said. “Second, I understand how to win those championships. I think that’s an even bigger deal,be- cause once you understand what it takes coming down the stretch ... that is only going to serve you when encountering those situations again. I’ve had a chance to reflect and say, ‘I’ve done this before, why can’t I do it now?’” Mickelson says he finds motivation in Woods’stronghold. “Right now there’s a strong argument that Tiger Woods is the best golfer ever, and that pro- vides a great opportunity for me,” said Mickelson, who has 12 top-10 finish- es in majors without a vic- tory. “If I rise up and beat him regularly in majors, does that not make me the best of all time? It’s a great opportunity playing against the best of all time, not a hin- drance.” Duval acknowledged that winning majors “probably” is more difficult now in Woods’prime “because we can’t make as many mistakes.” But he argued that Woods isn’t in his head. Duval says he’s concerned with himself, not others. “We know he has a good chance to be right there,so why worry about it?” said Duval, who has eight ma- jor top 10s without victory. “He does- n’t alter my game plan. I don’t rely on external stimula- tion; it’s internal.’’ Whether Woods is or isn’t on the minds of others, the question remains:What it will take to slow him down? The answer, by most accounts, relates to self-belief, improve- ment, elimination of mistakes and increased conversion of scoring opportunities. Leonard,the 1997 British Open champion,is among the many who say Woods’record makes him work harder. Citing history,Nicklaus said he expects Woods’compe- tition eventually to become stiffer. “When Arnold (Palmer) came along there was nobody dominating, and Arnold pretty much had his own way for about, what, five years,” Nicklaus said. “Then Gary (Player) came along, I came along, (Lee) Trevino came along and all of a sudden there was competition. Tiger has raised the bar; Arnold raised the bar and forced us to play better. “Then I had a bunch of (challengers) who knew how to win, who had won six, seven, eight majors. The difference now is I don’t think (Woods) has anybody yet who really knows how to win that much. I mean,his best players are all fighting for the category of ‘best players never to win a ma- jor.’” JEFF RUDE Golfweek THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Should qualifying for the U.S.Women’s Open be expanded from 18 holes to 36 holes? Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com MIND GAMES Tiger’s presence adds to major championship pressure ETIQUETTE&RULES Q:In a stroke-play event,one group was playing more quickly than the three groups in front of them and skipped ahead,agree- ing to come back and play the skipped hole after completing the 18th. What is the ruling here? A:The stipulated round consists of playing the holes of the course in the sequence pre- scribed (No. 1 through No. 18) — see Definition of “stipulated round.”The competitors in this group were in breach of the con- ditions of the competition, and the committee should in this case impose a penalty of dis- qualification under Rule 33-7. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) TRIVIA Only four players have ever won the Masters and Open titles in the same year — Craig Wood (1941),Ben Hogan (1951 and 1953),Arnold Palmer (1960) and Jack Nicklaus (1972). Thirteen players have won both events in their professional careers,the most recent being Tiger Woods.
