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. “There needs to be the abil- ity of each committee to strike MAURICE BRENNER ‘There needs to be the ability of each committee to strike their own destiny.’ 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.’ See PICKERING page A2 See DURHAM page A4 BILL BUTCHER ‘Members are not very happy.’ 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. P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 15, 2001 Pickering 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.

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.

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.

Pickering Town Centre 839-5990 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. A/P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 15, 2001 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.

Sunday, September 23, 2001 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. 23. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 15, 2001 PAGE A5 A/P Fax it The News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Blackstock couple doesn’t come to court 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. Recycle me! FOR ALL YOUR APPLIANCE NEEDS Sales • Service Great selection!

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 Neil Crone Guest column shouston@durhamregion.com 24 Hour Access 905-420-4660 cityofpickering.com905-420-2222 Dunbarton Indoor Pool closed for maintenance Mon.

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.

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 Clippers, 7 p.m. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING ––These two Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers wannabes take part in a scrimmage during the opening day of the team’s annual rookie camp at the Pickering Recreation Complex Monday night. The 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 World-ly experience good for Pickering track athletes PERDITA FELICIEN Finishes just out of a berth in the 100-metre hurdles final.

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. City athletes shine at worlds 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. ANSON HENRY Ran anchor leg for Canada’s 4-x-100-metre men’s relay team.

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.

Readers' Choice Awards 1998 Readers' Choice Awards 19981999 Readers' Choice Awards 2000 At the Pickering Town Centre Aug. 24, 25, 26 Mall Hours 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.

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.
