City turns
nose up at
compost plan
Pickering councillors
want Toronto
to look elsewhere
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City
politicians don’t want Toronto
to build a leaf and yard waste
composting facility on a for-
mer landfill site in north Pick-
ering.
Council voted Aug. 7 to in-
form the Ministry of the Envi-
ronment that the City is op-
posed to any consideration of
reopening the former Brock
North Landfill site for the pur-
pose of a composting facility.
“The reality is we are still
on record that every munici-
pality should be dealing with
their own (garbage) prob-
lems,” said Ward 1 Regional
Councillor Maurice Brenner,
who introduced the motion.
He added, “I think this mo-
tion is needed because we, in
good faith, did negotiate with
them (to close the site).”
The contents of Brock
North, which was used as a
temporary facility for Toron-
to’s trash during a 1970s
garbage strike in that city,
were transferred to the Brock
West landfill in Pickering
under a settlement between the
two cities that led to the clo-
sure of Brock West in March
1997.
However, the City of
Toronto still owns the Brock
North property as well as the
Brock South landfill in Ajax.
Toronto waste manager An-
gelos Bacopoulos confirmed
in a recent interview that City
is looking into building a com-
posting plant on one of the
sites it owns in the Greater
Toronto Area.
“We have a facility where
we compost leaf and yard
waste in the City of Vaughan
that will close in 2002,” he
said, noting City staff are
“considering all options” in
looking to replace that facility.
“We will be looking at all
the parcels of land the City
owns in and around Toronto,”
he said.
“Brock North would be
under consideration.”
He reported Toronto has a
Certificate of Approval for dis-
posal purposes on the Brock
North and Brock South sites
and said if either location was
chosen for a composting facil-
ity, that agreement would have
to be revisited through the
ministry.
He noted the municipal and
Regional governments here
would become involved in the
process if the City of Toronto
makes an application for the
facility.
Coun. Brenner pointed out
Pickering would require that
the community be involved in
discussions regarding the fu-
ture land use at the Brock
North site.
He noted the community
group Pickering Ajax Citizens
Together for the Environment
(PACT) played a large role in
the agreement to close the
landfill site and maintained
that group “has the right to be
a participant in any kind of
discussions that are contrary
to what our understanding
was.”
Meanwhile, Ward 3 Re-
gional Councillor Rick John-
son said the City should buy
the land.
“I still advocate we should
be buying this property and
taking away the opportunity
they have,” he said. “As long
as the City of Toronto owns
land in Pickering they’re going
to attempt in years to come to
use it for a waste management
facility.”
Pickering moves on committee changes
But councillors are
divided in recent vote
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Pickering
councillors approved the cre-
ation of a new committee sys-
tem last week, but turned down
a request to set up a series of
focus groups intended to in-
volve the public in ironing out
the guidelines for the new com-
mittees.
Council approved the cre-
ation of the new committees in
a 4-3 vote Aug. 7, with Ward 1
Regional Councillor Maurice
Brenner, Ward 2 City Council-
lor Bill McLean, Ward 2 Re-
gional Councillor Mark Hol-
land and Ward 3 Regional
Councillor Rick Johnson vot-
ing in favour. Ward 1 City
Councillor Dave Ryan, Ward 3
City Councillor David Pickles
and Mayor Wayne Arthurs
voted against it.
The new system will see the
creation of four committees
that report to council.
The planning committee
will include all members of
council and will meet on the
second Monday of each month
in the evening; the committee
of the whole will also include
all members of council and
will meet the same evening as
planning; the finance commit-
tee will include three members
of council and the mayor with
meetings to be held on the
fourth Monday of the month at
10 a.m.; and the operations
committee, which will also in-
clude three councillors and the
mayor, would meet later that
same day at 1 p.m.
Regular council meetings
will be held the first and third
Monday of each month.
Meanwhile, Coun. Bren-
ner’s motion to create a series
of focus groups responsible for
establishing guidelines for
each committee regarding is-
sues of public interest and the
delivery of agendas to commu-
nity members, was turned
down.
Coun. Brenner argued the
focus groups would create an
extended timeframe to allow
community members to pro-
vide input to the City on certain
aspects of the new system.

ity of each committee to strike

Durham teachers vow to skip certification tests
Ecker says ministry
move is ‘about
professional
development’
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Teachers
here are standing firm in their
decision to ignore the
Province’s directions on com-
petency testing despite a warn-
ing from the education minister
that educators who refuse to
participate will face “conse-
quences”.
In an interview Tuesday,
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP
Janet Ecker said teachers may
be penalized if they refuse to
complete the required tests.
“There are consequences if
any employee defies employ-
ment policies or any govern-
ment laws,” she said, adding,
“This is not about firing teach-
ers, this is about doing profes-
sional development.”
However, Phyllis Benedict,
the leader of the Elementary
Teachers’Federation of Ontario
(ETFO), has said her members
will not participate in the gov-
ernment’s mandatory recertifi-
cation tests every five years.
“Our members are not very
happy with the fact they have to
sit down and write a test...
we’re tested every day by the
public,” said Bill Butcher, pres-
ident of ETFO’s Durham divi-
sion, during an interview Tues-
day from the union’s annual
meeting at the Sheraton Centre
Hotel in Toronto.
Mr. Butcher reported about
98 per cent of ETFO’s mem-
bership voted this past spring to
ignore the Province’s direction
on teacher testing. He also reit-
erated Ms. Benedict’s com-
ments.
“There’s 65,000 of us,” Mr.
Butcher said. “How are they
going to fire us all?”
Mr. Butcher noted ETFOJANET ECKER
‘There are consequences.’

AT A GLANCE
Young suspect sought
in Pickering sex attack
PICKERING —A suspect be-
lieved to be as young as 13 is
sought after a woman fought off a
sex attacker while walking in
Rouge Valley Park.
The 38-year-old victim told
Durham Regional Police she was
walking north of Twyn Rivers Road
through the park at 7:45 p.m.
Monday, when she was grabbed
from behind.The woman elbowed
the attacker and attempted to kick
him, prompting the youth to turn
around and run away, police said.
The suspect is described as male,
black, 13 to 15 years old, wearing
a white T-shirt, dark pants and
possibly had sideburns.
Mugging suspect tackled
AJAX —A knife-wielding
purse-snatcher who assaulted a
62-year-old woman was chased
by citizens and tackled by an off-
duty police officer.
Durham Regional Police said
the victim was walking from a flo-
ral shop at Baywood Plaza, at 105
Bayly St.W., to her car when she
was suddenly attacked from be-
hind and knocked to the ground at
about 4:35 p.m. last Friday.
The attacker ripped her purse
from her shoulder and fled on foot.
Four citizens who witnessed the
purse-snatching, including the
Toronto officer, chased the mug-
ger through the lot toward a field
at Kitney Drive, police said.
After pulling out a knife and
threatening his pursuers, the sus-
pect was finally tackled to the
ground from behind by the off-duty
officer and held for uniform offi-
cers, said Durham Sergeant Paul
Malik, police spokesman.
Cory Williams, 23, of Harwood
Avenue, is charged with robbery,
assault with a weapon, carrying a
concealed weapon, threatening,
and possession of a dangerous
weapon.
Christian centre wants
to get to know you
PICKERING —The Word of
Truth Christian Centre is hosting a
free ‘Getting to Know You’ barbe-
cue for community members Sat-
urday, Aug. 18.The event runs
from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1527
Bayly St. in Pickering. Everyone is
welcome to attend.
PICKERING —The City has
given its final OK to merge the transit
systems in Pickering and Ajax.
Pickering council approved a bylaw
at its meeting Tuesday to authorize the
execution of the final transit system
merger agreement.
“This is a milestone in co-operation
between the City of Pickering and the
Town of Ajax,” said Ward 1 Regional
Councillor Maurice Brenner.
The two municipalities had agreed
to a memorandum of understanding in
March 2000 to create the Ajax Picker-
ing Transit Authority. Ajax council gave
its final approval during a meeting
Wednesday.
The merger agreement formalizes
the terms and conditions for the legal
amalgamation of Ajax Transit and Pick-
ering Transit. The first official day of
operations for the new authority is Sept.
4. Under the agreement, Ajax will pro-
vide human re-
sources and pay-
roll services,
while Pickering
will provide fi-
nancial, account-
ing, auditing,
budgeting, bank-
ing, internal con-
trol and corporate
legal duties.
Pickering
transportation di-
vision head Neil
Killens told Ajax
councillors
Wednesday all
current drivers
and staff will keep
their jobs under
the new authority.
However, he
noted the issue of
which union will
represent the em-
ployees still has
to be decided.
Ajax workers are
represented by
the Canadian
Auto Workers
union and Picker-
ing staff by the
Canadian Union
of Public Em-
ployees.
The merger
agreement stipu-
lates “service lev-
els at least equiva-
lent to the exist-
ing levels” will be
provided by the
new authority
and, “new stan-
dards of service”
will be estab-
lished for each
community.
AJAX —Happy Meal has a
whole lot more meaning for an
Ajax couple.
Chris Wren and Cheryl
Hicks won the second prize of
$97,387.40 in the Aug. 11 Lotto
6/49 draw.
“We had lunch at McDon-
ald’s last week and with our
meal purchase, we received a
voucher for a free Lotto 6/49
ticket. We redeemed it and it
was luckier than we ever could
have imagined,” Ms. Hicks told
staff with the Ontario Lottery
and Gaming Corporation.
Mr. Wren, 62, is an insur-
ance investigator and Ms.
Hicks, 38, owns and operates
her own cleaning company. The
couple have three children be-
tween them.
They plan a trip to Mexico, a
new car and paying bills.

moves
ahead with
committee
reforms
their own destiny,” he said.
The City held a stakeholders forum
on the issue July 26, during which
several community members asked
that the implementation of the new
system be delayed for a year. Mem-
bers of the public expressed concerns
that the new system will make it diffi-
cult for area residents to attend day-
time committee meetings and they
also wanted some clear guidelines to
be set regarding how the agendas will
be distributed for the meetings and
how the City will determine whether a
specific issue warrants a special night
meeting.
Coun. Ryan said he has had a num-
ber of phone calls following the pub-
lic forum and reported there was a
“general feeling of angst” that the new
structure was being ushered in during
the summer. He also argued the com-
munity needs more time to discuss the
new system and asked for a deferral
until September. His motion was lost.
Coun. Johnson noted, “my phone
has not been ringing off the wall on
this issue... I don’t see a need for more
dialogue.”
In an interview following the meet-
ing, Coun. Brenner said although he
voted for the new system, he plans to
introduce another motion in Septem-
ber seeking to include the public in a
process to determine committee
guidelines.

ASK VIC THE PROFESSIONAL
QUESTION: I have recently noticed a buildup of condensation in one of the headlights of my car. The moisture never seems to clear completely during the day. What can I do
to fix this problem?
ANSWER: Newer style headlights are constructed of either composite or glass with one or two removable Halogen bulbs. The headlight housing is equipped with one or two
vents to allow moisture to escape. Most vents have a small, short rubber or plastic hose attached. The vent hose can be either pinched or clogged, causing moisture to
accumulate inside your headlight housing in the form of condensation on the lens. Your technician can unclog or remove the vent tube, then remove the headlight housing and
bulbs, flush water into the housing to remove any dirt residue from the lens and remove the excess water with compressed air. Prior to the technician re-installing the
headlight housing and bulbs, he or she must be certain that the integrity of the adhesive seal that holds the lens to the headlight housing is intact and secure. Finally the
headlight housing and bulbs can be re-installed on your car and the headlights aimed correctly.

demonstrations, antique tractor and car
show, machinery, entertainment, a bar-
becue served by municipal councillors
and the hand-painted steam threshing

Ajax resident among those
facing charges
DURHAM —An Ajax resident is
among six young adults arrested and
charged with drug possession in the
Test Hill pit area in the early hours of
Friday morning.
The pot and hashish bust led to a
later search of an Oshawa home
where Durham Regional Police say
they found $9,000 worth of marijua-
na buds.
Durham Regional Police Sergeant
Glen Bonathan said the arrests oc-
curred around 2:30 a.m. Aug. 10 after
officers patrolling the Test Hill pit in
Scugog Township observed six peo-
ple standing by a green, four-door
1997 Chevrolet LS.
Sgt. Bonathan said a search turned
up marijuana and hashish and a drug
investigation ensued.
He said officers obtained a war-
rant to search the home of one of the
accused, where they allegedly found
three-quarters of a pound of marijua-
na.
Sgt. Bonathan said north Durham
officers have had problems in the
Test Hill area recently, especially
with dirt bike riders who are using
the pit.
One man died three months ago
after two motorbikes collided while
riding in the pit, he pointed out.
Since then Scugog council has
tried to launch a task force of munic-
ipalities and local conservation and
environmental authorities to address
the issue.
At a public meeting last week, po-
lice pledged to step up their ATV pa-
trols in Test Hill but also told local
residents they need their help in re-
porting incidents to police, said Scu-
gog Mayor Doug Moffatt.
Along with the drug bust, Durham
officers handed out a nine tickets to
off-road riders in the Test Hill area
over the weekend.
Six were for failing to have a valid
off-road licence, two were for failing
to wear a helmet and one was for
having an open liquor container.
Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt said
he was pleased with the results of the
patrols.
He added the task force is moving
forward and investigating certain
land use measures and other regula-
tions to crack down on off-roading
activity in Test Hill, a series of trails
and pits snaking through the eastern
edge of Scugog Township, Claring-
ton’s western boundaries and the Vil-
lage of Raglan, which is in the City
of Oshawa.
The following five are charged
with possession of a controlled sub-
stance: Michelle Murray, 19, of
Burcher Road in Ajax; Lynn
Sassville, 19, of Portage Trail in
Whitby; Daniel White, 22, of Calder
Crescent in Whitby; Cindy Elliot, of
Ribblesdale Drive in Whitby; and
Nathan Roe, 22, of Johnson Avenue
in Whitby.
Michael Howard, 22, of Traddles
Avenue in Oshawa, is charged with
possession of a controlled substance
and possession for the purpose of
trafficking.

DURHAM ––A large number of
Hells Angels from Ontario, Quebec
and Alberta spent the weekend in
Durham for what police suspect was
a “business meeting.”
Police surveillance teams tracked
the bikers’movements and conducted
numerous traffic stops.
One member of a recently formed
Clarington-based Hells puppet club,
the 987s, was arrested for breach of
an undertaking, stemming from his
release by police on an earlier charge,
police said.
About 150 bikers, some who rent-
ed rooms at local motels, held gather-
ings at the Oshawa chapter clubhouse
on Ortono Avenue and at the club-
owned marina compound in the vil-
lage of Caesarea, on Scugog Island.
Unlike a much-publicized large
Hells party held at the marina proper-
ty two weekends ago, police were not
expecting the visit this past weekend.
“We don’t believe it was a social
event like the last time. This was
more of a business meeting,” said
Durham Regional Police Sergeant
Paul Malik.
Several high-ranking members
were among those in attendance.
The Durham Regional Police heli-
copter, biker intelligence unit, and
members of the Provincial Special
Squad kept close watch on the club’s
activities.

members were to vote late Tuesday on
another motion with respect to the
government’s teacher testing plan. He
expected the federation would restate
the position taken earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Marnie Daly of the
Durham elementary division of the
Ontario English Catholic Teachers’
Association (OECTA) said Tuesday
she was “surprised” by the minister’s
comments.
“My initial thought would be that
the minister must be very out of touch
with the teacher shortage in Ontario at
this point in time,” she said, noting
school boards are having great diffi-
culty in finding qualified teachers to
fill vacant positions.
“Teachers are quite adamant they
are not going to enter into any written
test to justify their qualifications,” she
added, noting OECTA members
passed a motion a year ago, which
was then confirmed again earlier this
year, expressing their opposition to
the Province’s testing plan.

Next appearance for pair
charged with child abuse
set for Sept. 14
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– A Blackstock cou-
ple accused of physically abusing and
confining their two teenaged sons in
makeshift cages over a period of years
skipped their first court appearance
yesterday since being released on bail.
Alex Sosna, the lawyer for the 40-
year-old woman and her 49-year-old
husband, informed Judge Greg Regis
previous arrangements had been made
with the Crown permitting the pair to
miss their court appearance.
Judge Regis issued a discretionary
bench warrant for the couple and ad-
journed the case to Sept. 14 at the re-
quest of the defence.
The case made national headlines
July 5 when Durham Regional Police
arrested the parents of the adopted
boys, ages 14 and 15, and alleged they
were locked in enclosed baby cribs for
hours at a time on a daily basis for
years, forced to wear diapers, physi-
cally abused and deprived of nourish-
ment.
Both face charges of forcible con-
finement, failure to provide the neces-
saries of life, assault, assault with a
weapon and aggravated assault.
The mother is also charged with ad-
ministering a noxious substance.
A third person, a 28-year-old Port
Perry man described by police as a
“member of the extended family,” has
also been charged with assault with a
weapon and forcible confinement in
connection with the case, which left
residents of the tiny village of Black-
stock reeling in shock and disbelief.
Prior to the arrests, the boys were
taken from the home June 29, during a
visit by police and the Children’s Aid
Society. They are now in foster care.
After several weeks in custody the
parents were released on $10,000 bail.
They are required to live with a Lake-
field couple that signed as their
sureties.
The 28-year-old, meanwhile, who
police said has assisted in the investi-
gation, was released on an officer-in-
charge undertaking and is scheduled to
make his first appearance in court Aug.

Chalk Lake
spring still
clean despite
concerns
DURHAM ––The spring-fed
water source located at Lakeridge
and Chalk Lake roads in Uxbridge is
clean for drinking despite rumours
to the contrary, says an official with
Durham Region’s health depart-
ment.
Although the spring is an open
water source, the health department
tests the e-coli and coliform levels
once or twice a month at the Chalk
Lake spring, formerly known as the
Uxbridge spring.
“In 20 years, I have not seen an
adverse (bacteria) count,” said Tony
Wong, a manager of environmental
health for the Region.
Mr. Wong said recent rumours
that the water is not safe to drink
likely came from residents who have
taken a sample of the water on their
own to be tested at a private labora-
tory.
He said these residents often get
back poor water results because they
have not done the test properly, in-
cluding not using a proper container.
The Chalk Lake spring is a popu-
lar spot for local residents and espe-
cially cottagers, to stop and fill up
containers.

You said it
The question was:
Should Regional councillors be considering
a nine-per cent raise only months after
getting an eight-per cent increase?
Sally McGregor
said,“No, It
should be more
balanced so that
everyone gets a
raise. What makes
them so special?
They don’t de-
serve it.”
Rob Baker said,
“No. They don’t
need any more
money. They make
enough already.
They should put
that money back
into the Region in-
stead of their
pockets.”
Mark Birnie said,
“No, it’s not justi-
fied. They just got
a raise. Put more
money back in the
municipalities.”

You call this
protection?
To the editor:
I took a bike ride recently
through our bucolic back roads
— or so I thought that they were
bucolic.
They turned out to be dump-
ing grounds for urbanites who
missed their garbage pickup or,
for whatever other reason,
thought their garbage would be
better in the country than in their
possession.
I had my camera with me and
decided to record the disgusting
practice of some. I could not go
more than a few metres without
being disturbed by the sight of
garbage, car parts, building ma-
terials and litter.
This is the Rouge Valley,
which is deemed to be a protect-
ed area. Can you imagine what
the unprotected areas must look
like?
Having recently moved from
the west coast of Canada, I have
not seen a lot of the surrounding
area, but I am hoping it gets bet-
ter than this.

City gains in merger
Transit amalgamation makes a busload
of sense for local communities
This photo collage from Pickering resident Colin Knauf captures
the mess he found in the Rouge Valley recently.
We were disappointed with Durham council when it ap-
proved itself an eight-per cent raise this past March, retroac-
tive to Jan. 1.
At that time, council was wringing its hands over a request
from the police services board for $10 million more (they
eventually agreed to it) and over a plea from Durham hospi-
tals for $100 million (they said ‘No’). The message was:
there’s no money, it’s belt-tightening time.
So imagine our horror at reports Durham councillors are
considering a further nine-per cent raise. It must be a joke!
They must be dreaming.
According to Durham’s commissioner of human re-
sources, the plan to bump councillors up yet again this year is
perfectly legit.
“It sure makes sense,” said Don Paterson of tying council
pay to that of staff, who were recently granted a nine-per cent
hike over three years.
Where’s the sense however in linking the pay of those who
help negotiate contracts with those on the other end? Where’s
the incentive to keep raises down for your employees when
you’ll receive the same amount? Wouldn’t you be tempted to
give the other side an extra per cent or two when your pay will
be bumped up the same amount?
According to Mr. Paterson, councillors “were not comfort-
able” talking yet again about raises after just jacking up their
pay only months ago. Here’s hoping a majority of our repre-
sentatives can see how unfair a raise would be, how it would
send exactly the wrong message to taxpayers forced to deal
with rate increases across the region.
There is a better way to go.
First, the raise councillors got last March almost equals the
nine-per-cent they just granted inside employees. That takes
care of the problem of linking council pay to staff pay.
Second, when council next negotiates with staff, it can
consider a raise. That will fall just after the next election,
which seems a logical enough time to consider a pay bump.
It’s just not fair, not moral and not ethical for council to get
nine-per cent more after getting eight per cent only months
ago. Who do these people think they are, professional ath-
letes? Just because MPs gave themselves a whopping raise,
do our councillors feel they should stick their noses in the
trough too?
We need leadership on this issue, someone of stature on
council who will come out and say ‘No’to a raise. We’re wait-
ing.
And then there was one.
After more than a year of negotiation — and another be-
fore that in which Ajax and Pickering politicians touted the
idea — the two municipalities will now share one transit
system.
With votes by the separate municipal councils in Ajax
and Pickering last week, the new Ajax Pickering Transit
Authority comes into official service on Sept. 4.
This reality will mean several things for Ajax and Pick-
ering residents in general and transit users specifically. It
means the amalgamated service will more effectively meet
commuter needs over a greater geographic area. It means
the transit authority can realize greater efficiency and save
scarce dollars. It means a more seamless service from the
Scarborough-Pickering border on the west to the Ajax-
Whitby border on the east. It means greater access to GO
stations in both communities and a farther reach for the new
transit service with the future introduction of new routes as
needs dictate.
On a practical level, this move is aimed directly at
achieving greater efficiency and accessibility of commuter
services in our two municipalities. Politically, it shows
Ajax and Pickering, for all their differences, can rise above
petty politics and create something that is beneficial to en-
tire communities. For that, councillors and staff in Ajax and
Pickering deserve recognition for their efforts.
You may remember the tension and barbs traded be-
tween Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Ajax Mayor
Steve Parish when the municipal amalgamation debate dri-
ven by the provincial government reached a crescendo last
year.
That particular issue died a quiet death in 2000 when
Queen’s Park indicated it would no longer be aggressively
pushing for such amalgamations.
In Ajax and Pickering the transit merger, if nothing else,
illustrates the benefits that can be found when our two mu-
nicipalities work together rather than at cross-purposes.
On Sept. 4, residents in Ajax and Pickering will tangibly
see the results of that team approach.
Raise? Again?
Are they kidding?
Durham council playing games with our
money if it takes another nine per cent
Bears have been seen in north
Durham. Not to worry, I am
ready. I will not fight the bears in
the conventional way however.
Remember, I am a city boy... and
an ‘actor.’Nonetheless I have my
own arsenal of anti-bear
weaponry.
For starters, I think I shall
play opera music at high volume
day and night. Something from
‘Carmen’ should do the trick.
After all, in all my reading I have
never heard of one single bear at-
tack in Italy. There must be
something to that.
I had thought of playing show
tunes but then friends of mine
told me they were playing a Judy
Garland tape in their cabin once
and were attacked by a group of
rogue gay bears. My friends
watched in horror as the huge
beasts ransacked the place and
then completely redecorated, in-
cluding a fabulous chintz win-
dow treatment and some perky
throw pillows.
Next, I shall contact my
mother-in-law and get her recipe
for peas in Jell-O. We shall eat
nothing but this dish for the next
few weeks. Not even the most
ravenous bear would be attracted
to those leftovers.
Thirdly, I am going to erect a
‘Vote NDP’ sign on my front
lawn. Bears, I have read, are ter-
rified of lunatics and will go to
great lengths to avoid them.
Of course I have had to give
my kids the bear lecture. Poor
children. They have been lec-
tured to ad nauseam about road
safety, talking to strangers and
now bears for heaven’s sake.
I am afraid they have ingested
so many emergency instructions
they may get them all mixed up
when push comes to shove.
I can just see Duncan, my
nine-year-old, coming face to
face with a seven-foot bear. For a
heart-stopping moment he
freezes.
Then, in a flash, all of his
parental training comes back, he
looks both ways then swiftly
knees the beast in the groin,
screams as loud as he can and
runs to the nearest friendly
grown-up. Or, on the flip side,
him backing away slowly from
some creep in a black sedan, all
the while banging loudly on a
pot or a pan.
Oh well, I suppose we shall
all be fine. I actually pity the
bears a little. They must be in
pretty sad shape to come this
close to such danger.
I’m not talking about trigger-
happy hunters or irate farmers
either folks. I’m talking about
my wife.
Woe betide the bear who
messes up her vegetable patch or
sits on her tea roses. I acciden-
tally weed-whacked a hollyhock
once and I’d rather take on 10
starving bears than face what I
got that night. That bear will be
begging for an MNR dart in the
butt by the time Suzie finishes
with him.
On the upside, this whole
thing might well be parlayed into
a tidy little profit for all of us in
town. I can see it now, T-shirts
and bumper stickers with witty
sayings on them like ‘I knocked
the Pooh outta Winnie in Sun-
derland.’
And of course black bear gall
bladder is worth a fortune to the
Asians as an aphrodisiac. We’re
practically swimming in the
stuff.
Maybe we should change the
name of the town from Sunder-
land to Viagra Falls. Think about
it.
Just grin and bear it – it could pay off
There’s bound to be a profit in the visits from our furry friends

It’s 2001 and we have entered the
third decade of recycling programs, so
isn’t it about time we extended the sys-
tem outside of our homes and work-
places?
For the Frenchman’s Bay Festival
in June, Miller Waste Durham donated
10 blue boxes that allowed everyone at
the event the opportunity to recycle.
The idea was well received as indicat-
ed by the many positive comments, as
well as by the degree of participation.
To encourage recycling, K-9 am-
bassadors on a leash were recruited to
wear a ‘Paws To Recycle’ cloth sign.
One cadet with the Pickering 2525
Royal Canadian Army Cadets was an
amazing helper at the recycling dis-
play booth and was also pleased to
walk her dog ‘Chandra’ and promote
the 3Rs. By the end of the annual
event, the City of Pickering’s works
department had collected four large
clear bags of cans and plastic drinking
bottles, two boxes and half a large bag
of glass, half a large bag of paper, and
some corrugated cardboard.
With the help of the Pickering
Waste Reduction Committee (PWRC),
the festival has had a recycling pro-
gram in place for the past three years.
This year, the committee also helped
Arts Fest with its craft show by setting
up 10 blue boxes beside garbage cans.
City employee Tanya Price noted that
as soon as people saw a blue box, they
automatically tossed their beverage
containers into it. By day’s end, all
blue boxes were emptied into one of
the City’s large recycling containers.
“The fact that we gathered the
equivalent of one full blue box indicat-
ed almost 100-per cent participation,
as this was not an event that sold food
or drinks,” stated Ms. Price.
The PWRC is preparing a report on
its efforts, results, and observations for
the City of Pickering and will e-mail
copies to people and organizations that
would find this information useful.
Small blue boxes gather recy-
clables, however, they are more labour
intensive than larger recycling bins.
Jack McGinnis and Gail Lawlor of
Durham, who helped set up the recy-
cling program at the 1996 Summer
Olympic Games in Atlanta, found if
you place a large recycling container
with proper signs beside every regular
trash barrel they will be used correctly.
The questions I ask of our munici-
palities are: Will budgets allow the
purchase of enough recycling barrels
to accompany every garbage recepta-
cle, not only during upcoming events,
but also at every public location? Can
the pickup crews gather two bags per
stop? The volume is the same, just sep-
arated. Clear bags of recyclables can
be put on one side of the truck,
garbage bags on the other. This should
also apply to city litter pickups. To
save money, the plastic bags for recy-
clables, if carefully handled, could
probably be used more than once.
Both Ajax and Pickering are on a
four-garbage-bags limit with recom-
mendations from a consultant to re-
duce that to three. As residents are ex-
pected to recycle, nothing less should
be expected than for a City or Town at
a public event to have an intensive re-
cycling system, which in turn will help
with the transition as we move towards
less garbage and mandatory recycling.
To strengthen markets for the col-
lected recyclables, you should also
look for the recycling logo on packag-
ing as well as purchase items with re-
cycled content. It is only when recy-
cled content products are actually pur-
chased that recycling becomes a reali-
ty and not one second before.

Purcell returns to his roots
New Panthers coach back
where he began in 1970s
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —Bill Purcell has
come full circle with the Pickering
Boyer Pontiac Panthers.
The Toronto resident is back be-
hind the Panthers’ bench, the club he
began his coaching career with back
in the mid-1970s when the franchise
toiled as a member of the Metro Ju-
nior Hockey League. After three
years as a scout with Tallahassee of
the East Coast Hockey League, he
felt it was time to return to coaching.
“I coached in Pickering many
years ago and for one reason or an-
other I’m back where I started from,”
said Purcell. “I think it’s going to be
kind of fun.”
Purcell was hired by Panthers’
owner Michael Boyer earlier this
month to replace former head coach
Brian Blad who stepped down from
the Panthers this summer after a year
and a half at the helm of the Ontario
Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League
club.
Purcell is well travelled in hockey
circles, having coached for 30 years
at almost all levels of the game, from
the tier II junior ranks right up to the
pro ranks as a coach with the Kala-
mazoo Wings and the Adirondack
Red Wings of the International and
American hockey leagues, respec-
tively, in the ‘70s and ‘80s. He served
as an assistant coach with the Ontario
Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals
for two seasons before moving on to
scout for Tallahassee.
Purcell said simply the time was
right to return to coaching.
“A couple of guys said ‘why don’t
you get back into coaching?’ and the
more I thought about it, the more I
thought it was worth a try,” said Pur-
cell.
He noted he’s not sure what kind
of team the Panthers will ice this sea-
son after a 2000-2001 campaign that
saw the club finish fourth (21-19-7-2
for 51 points) in the league’s South
Conference, then bomb out four
games to one in the first round of the
playoffs to the lower-seeded St.
Michael’s Buzzers. His only predic-
tion is that the club will be competi-
tive.
“I don’t know what kind of team
we’ll have,” said Purcell. “Basically,
I’ll be starting from square one. I
don’t know any of the kids. I’m look-
ing forward to a competitive season.
My old saying is: ‘It’s not how you
start but how you finish that counts’.”
His coaching philosophy, he said,
is a simple one: find players who’ll
play hard game in and game out.
“I try to find players who want to
show up to play and who’ll play
hard. If they’re looking for a college
scholarship, they’re going to have to
play hard.”
The Panthers began their 2001-
2002 junior hockey campaign in
earnest on Monday night with their
annual rookie camp that runs through
to Thursday at the Pickering Recre-
ation Complex. Seventy first-year
players are expected to attend the
camp.
The Pickering squad’s main train-
ing camp is set to begin Monday,
Aug. 20 at the complex.
In other Panthers’ news:
• Pickering resident Craig Chan-
dler has signed on as a Panthers’ as-
sistant coach. Chandler has operated
a long-time hockey school in the
city;
• The Panthers are set to begin
their 30th anniversary season in ju-
nior hockey. To recognize the special
milestone, the team is urging bud-
ding artists to come up with a logo to
be used for a sweater patch to signify
the anniversary season. Call Al Clark
at 905-831-2693 for further details;
• The club has announced three
exhibition home dates at the Picker-
ing Recreation Complex. They are:
Saturday, Aug. 25, vs. Oshawa Le-
gionaires, 7 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug.
29, vs. Ajax Axemen, 8 p.m. and
Wednesday, Sept. 5, vs. Port Hope

PICKERING ––These two Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers wannabes

camp goes until Thursday evening. The main camp for the OHA Ontario
Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League team begins Monday, Aug. 20.
Henry anchors Canada
in relay semifinals at
world championships
in Edmonton
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —A couple of
bobbled hand-offs and the experience
of running on Canada’s relay team at
the world championships was over
for a Pickering track athlete.
Anson Henry, 22, ran the anchor
leg on Canada’s 4-x-100-metre men’s
relay team in the semifinal heat at the
2001 World Track and Field Champi-
onships in Edmonton that ended Sun-
day.
Henry was one of three local ath-
letes competing at the world champi-
onships. Another Pickering resident,
Devon Davis, joined Henry on the
relay team as an alternate, but didn’t
run in the team’s heat or semifinal
races. Meanwhile, Pickering’s Perdi-
ta Felicien ran for Canada in the
women’s 100m hurdles.
In summing up the race, Henry
said a couple of botched hand-offs
set the tone.
“The first couple of hand-offs did-
n’t go too well. We should have been
in the final for sure, but in the relay
these things happen sometimes,” said
Henry, who was joined by Nicolas
Macrozonaris of Laval, Que., Glen-
roy Gilbert of Ottawa and Jermaine
Joseph of Hamilton.
The Canadians finished a disap-
pointing sixth in the semifinal,
recording a time of 39.16 seconds.
The Americans won the heat, and
would later take the gold medal in the
final.
“It’s too bad I wasn’t in a position
to allow us to qualify,” said Henry,
who could make up no ground on the
leaders in the fourth and final leg of
the race.
While the semifinal result was dis-
appointing, Henry’s experience at the
worlds was anything but, as he
rubbed shoulders with many of Cana-
da’s best athletes, including track
stars such as Donovan Bailey and
Bruny Surin, part of Canada’s gold-
medal-winning relay team at the
1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
“The experience as a whole was
really cool. I met Donovan Bailey
and Bruny Surin while I was there. It
was good for me from a learning
standpoint, to see what it’s actually
like,” said Henry, who’ll be entering
his senior year at Washington State
University in Pullman,Washington in
the fall.
Most memorable for Henry at the
worlds was the sound of people in the
stands cheering for the Canadians in
the relay. He recalled the crowd was
so loud he couldn’t hear Joseph, run-
ning the third leg of the relay, coming
up from behind him.
“The fans in Edmonton were
going crazy. There were 60,000 peo-
ple there and once they heard the

PICKERING - Pickering’s Daniel Wilkins lets one fly toward the
plate while competing in a mite boys’ select softball tournament at
Dunmoore Park on the weekend. Teams from across the GTA took part
in the annual event.
Cosmos seeing stars
after battle with Rebels
Pickering takes under-19
crown at large American
soccer tourney
PICKERING —The Pickering
Nissan Power Rebels under-19 girls
soccer team recently returned from
Minnesota as 2001 Schwan’s USA
Cup champions.
The USA cup is the largest amateur
soccer tournament in North America,
attracting 762 teams from over 25
countries and 34 states.
Facing the North York Cosmos in
the final, Pickering rode an early goal
and the flawless work of goalkeeper
Kelly Zamora to 1-0 victory and the
championship.
Pickering took on St. Croix Sadha-
ka, a Minnesota team made up of
American university players, in the
semifinal, battling to a 0-0 draw
through regulation time. Zamora was
again solid in net throughout and the
Rebels won the overtime shootout 3-1.
Pickering opened the tournament
with a 2-1 victory over a local Min-
nesota team, Ricas Chicas, before
downing both the Yukon Strikers and
Whitby Iroquois Drillers by 4-0
scores.
The Rebels then faced off against
last year’s under-18 national champi-
ons from Ireland, the Lifford Ladies,
winning 3-1 to earn a semifinal berth.
Other team members are Nicole
Tanner, Nayiree Demirdji, Alicia
Smith, Rachel Mettler, Bianca Savari-
no, Jill Bunting, Cory Butler, Michelle
Anderson, Shannon McCutcheon,
Jennifer Pantin, Diane Grieve,
Meaghan Cosgrove, and Sandy
Klabachek.

word Canada, they went crazy. I could
barely here him (Joseph) telling me to
put my hand out.”
Henry said Gilbert, the team’s veter-
an leader, was a stabilizing force with
his young teammates. Gilbert, who was
running for the last time for Canada,
offered numerous pieces of advice
prior to the race.
“He was a really experienced runner
and he was good at calming things
down and keeping us together. He gave
us a lot of pointers like how to handle
the crowd. His experience helped out a
lot.”
Meanwhile, Felicien advanced
through the heats to the semifinals. In
that race last Friday, she started strong-
ly, but clipped a hurdle in the late
stages, ending up fifth in a time of
12.90 seconds, well off her personal
best of 12.73 seconds.
She missed finishing in the top
eight, thus qualifying for the final, by a
mere three-one-hundredths of a sec-
ond.
The University of Illinois student
finished second in the first heat in a
time of 12.89 seconds.

Ajax woman gets
ready for ‘Love Me
Tender Day’
AJAX — The countdown is
on.
Aug. 16, 2002, will be the
25th anniversary of the death of
Elvis Presley. To mark the occa-
sion, Ajax resident Charmaine
Jarvis is part of an international
effort to have ‘Love Me Tender
Day’ declared.
It’s a chance to recognize the
“legacy he left us. It’s to honour
what Elvis Pres-
ley was about,
his charity work
for instance. He
contributed so
much to humani-
ty,” Jarvis said.
“He had such an
effect on peo-
ple’s lives.”
The ‘Love Me
Tender Day’ pro-
ject is the inspi-
ration of Garyelvis Britt, an
Elvis impersonator, or an “Elvis
Tribute Artist” as Jarvis calls
him.
“It was created because peo-
ple have so many misconceived
notions about his career,” she
added.
One misconception about
Presley is he was “a druggie”,
she said, noting many other en-
tertainers think it’s “OK to go
out and get stoned.
“He had a bit of a (prescrip-
tion) drug problem. Other rock
stars get stoned and perform.
Elvis never did that.”
Presley’s legions of fans “re-
volve around the kind of man
he was. His whole life and en-
tire career revolved around his
fans. You don’t find any per-
former like that now,” Jarvis
said. “A lot of people have the
wrong impression of how he
died. They think he died of a
drug overdose. In fact, he died
of a heart attack.
“I get kind of fed up of peo-
ple’s negative comments. Elvis
Presley was a human being, just
like the rest of us. People seem
to put him down more than any-
one else. Everyone has prob-
lems.”
Jarvis, who’s spent a “lot of
hours” promoting the day,
added the event will celebrate a
number of different aspects of
Presley’s life.
“It’s more about the music.
It’s the kind of man he was.
He’s contributed more to soci-
ety than any of us,” Jarvis said.
“They say Elvis Presley was
the entertainer of the century.
He’s more than that. Even after
the 21st century ends, he’ll be
the entertainer of this century
then. Locally, I’m trying to
reach out to the community. It’s
difficult when there are no fan
clubs here.”
The hope is “every Aug. 16,
fans will gather together for a
day in memory of Elvis”.
The countdown starts this
Thursday. One year from to-
morrow, there will be celebra-
tions of Presley, culminating at
9 p.m. with a candlelight vigil
and fans gathering to sing Love
Me Tender. Also, food will be
collected for food banks and
teddy bears for children’s hos-
pital burn units.
Jarvis’s e-mail address is
lovemetenderday@home.com.

BY LESLEY BOVIE
Staff Writer
DURHAM — “I hope you’ve had
a wonderful summer.”
Those words are enough to tug at
the heartstrings of Terri-Dawn Fallis
when she thinks of where they come
from.
After launching a massive dona-
tion campaign in the hometown of
two teens at the centre of what
Durham police allege is the worst
case of abuse on record, Ms. Fallis
and her daughter Ashley received a
card this week from the boys thanking
them and the entire hamlet for its well
wishes and donations.
“The younger one wrote, ‘Thank
you so much for all of the stuff you
bought me,’” said Ms. Fallis. “The
older boy wrote, ‘I want to thank all
you nice people for the wonderful
gifts and I hope you’ve had a wonder-
ful summer’.”
Durham Regional Police arrested a
49-year-old man and his 40-year-old
wife July 5, alleging the couple
locked their two sons in separate en-
closed baby cribs for hours on end on
a daily basis for years.
The boys, now in their teens, suf-
fered physical punishment and did not
receive adequate food, according to
police.
The man and his wife have been re-
leased on bail, while the boys are
under the supervision of the Durham
Children’s Aid Society. A media ban
has been placed on the names of the
accused to protect the identity of the
children.
In response, the Fallis family creat-
ed the Blackstock Teen Fund, which
has since gone nationwide, and col-
lected donations to purchase wish list
items for the boys. Those items were
delivered last week through the
Durham CAS.
Ms. Fallis said she’s mindful of
protecting the identity of the teens but
at the same time, wanted to help
spread their gratitude to the greater
community. “I had to get their thank
you out there,” she added.
Touched by the card, Ms. Fallis
said she and Ashley feel they’ve
“completed a journey” in terms of
reaching out to the boys. The response
has been similar throughout Black-
stock.
“Everyone is talking about it and
feels great about it,” she said. “I just
want people to know this is about the
entire community, not just us.”
But the Blackstock resident admit-
ted she’d feel better if more money
was coming in to the fund. Since gain-
ing national attention, it has amassed
only $3,600.
“I had hoped to raise $50,000 and I
didn’t want to stop until we had
enough for their education or at least
a car,” said Ms. Fallis, who blames it
on a summer lull. “They’ll need all
the help they can get because they’ll
be out of the CAS’s care when they
are 18.”
As for Ms. Fallis’s part in the cam-
paign, she doesn’t think she can con-
tinue to carry all of its expenses with-
out some corporate sponsorship.
“It’s disappointing. I don’t want to
give up on it,” she said.
Contributions to the fund can be
made at any CIBC branch in Canada.

Community cares
PICKERING –– The Community Care organiza-
tion in Pickering and Ajax was the beneficiary of a
fund-raising event at Pickering Playing Fields last
week. Miniature golfers who hit the links helped
the facility raise $2,600 for the community-based
organization. Top photo, eight-year-old Harrison
Tim reacts as his ball nears the hole. Below, Sheri
Parker serves up some excitement on the beach
volleyball court. Sheri was there with friends to get

Project members
looking for help in
tracking purple killer
PICKERING —The
Frenchman’s Bay Water-
shed Rehabilitation Project
(FBWRP) is looking for
participants to help moni-
tor purple loosestrife and
its predator, the Galerucel-
la beetle.
“It may sound very
drastic, but the purple
loosestrife has truly invad-
ed our wetlands and has
earned its nickname ‘the
beautiful killer’... it’s rapid
growth has displaced many
of our native aquatic
plants, reducing the diver-
sity and composition of the
species present (in the
area),” states a news re-
lease.
The FBWRP reports
Galerucella beetles were
released into the French-
man’s Bay watershed in
the spring of 2000 and the
group notes the beetles are
having some success in
controlling the plants.
However, volunteers are
needed to track the
progress of the beetles as
part of an ongoing study of
purple loosestrife.
The FBWRP is inviting
community members to a
hands-on workshop on
Wednesday, Aug. 22 from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Alex
Robertson Park, south of
Bayly Street off Sandy
Beach Road.
Volunteers will collect
data on the population
densities of the plants, as-
sess damaged plants and
photograph existing condi-
tions.
Participants are asked to
register for the session by
calling the FBWRP at 905-
420-4660 ext. 2212.
Put your sneakers
on and get involved
with Terry Fox Run
New volunteers
sought to help
make annual
event a success
PICKERING —Orga-
nizers of this year’s Terry
Fox Run are looking for
volunteers to help make
the fund-raiser a success
once again in Pickering.
It’s been more than 20
years since Terry Fox
began his incredible
Marathon of Hope. On
Sunday, Sept. 16, thou-
sands around the globe will
keep his dream of finding a
cure for cancer alive as
they take part in the annual
run.
“We are gearing up for
our run again this year,”
said Sandra Armstrong,
who headed the volunteer
committee that planned
last year’s event. A kickoff
meeting is being held to-
morrow (Thursday) at the
Pickering Recreation Com-
plex.
“We’re desperately
looking for new volun-
teers,” she said last Friday.
“We had some wonderful
people on board last year,
but we’re also looking for
some new folks.”
The 260 individuals that
took part in Pickering’s run
last year raised more than
$22,000, which was col-
lected through pledges, a
silent auction, T-shirt sales
and memory posters. That
brought the total raised in
Pickering since 1988 to
more than $195,000.
Anyone interested in
volunteering for this year’s
event is encouraged to at-
tend the meeting Thursday
at 7 p.m. in room 3 at the
complex, 1867 Valley
Farm Rd.
