Tammy Munroe said she found the bird near the drive- way of her north Ajax home Monday evening. “The bird was alive when we found it, but it’s died since then,” she said. “I’m con- cerned. Not knowing how the virus affects the birds, I want it tested.” Ms. Munroe was expecting the Durham Region Health De- partment to collect the bird yesterday. The local health unit, which is conducting a monitoring program, has received an in- flux of calls from residents re- porting dead bird sightings across Durham since health of- ficials confirmed the virus had entered the province. “We had about 50 calls (on Monday) related to birds,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham Region’s associate medical of- ficer of health, in an interview Tuesday. She noted the depart- ment has witnessed an increase in the number of calls to the Region’s hotline since the virus was confirmed in Ontario. Dr. Reynolds said the local health unit has submitted a total of 140 birds to a lab in Guelph for testing. An addi- tional 100 dead birds have been reported here. “We’ve been asked by the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Centre to reduce the number of submissions to four a day,” Dr. Reynolds said, noting the cen- tre has been inundated with submissions from across On- tario in recent weeks. Dead birds, especially crows and blue jays, are be- lieved to be an early indicator that the virus has entered an area. The West Nile virus, which A.J.

It was to be picked up yes- terday to see if it was infected with the West Nile virus. AT A GLANCE Charges laid in bank fraud totalling $150,000 DURHAM —Durham Region- al Police have charged a Toronto man and issued a warrant for a second suspect in connection with a series of banking frauds that cost victims $149,213. Durham police’s major fraud unit allege the men used forged Ontario driver’s licences and client information to pretend they were customers of banks and to obtain bank cards. Police say fraudulent cheques were deposited into new accounts, leading to withdrawals and Interac purchases. The $149,213 in losses occurred in Durham and surrounding areas, say police. Police have been investigating the case for four months and are assisting Ottawa, Prescott and Wa- terloo police forces, which are look- ing into similar frauds. Theodoros David Zafiropoulos, 36, of Danforth Road in Toronto is charged with four counts of fraud over $5,000 and one count of at- tempted fraud. A warrant has been obtained for 41-year-old Brian Michael Feeney of Toronto for the same charges. He is currently in police cus- tody in British Columbia. The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to call the major fraud unit at 905-683-9100 ext. 5283. Pickering’s a beauty in garden competition PICKERING —A garden dis- play depicting the natural beauty of Pickering’s waterfront received an honourable mention in the garden odyssey competition at this year’s Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). The centrepiece of the display is a reproduction of the millennium tree, a kinetic sculpture at the foot of Liverpool Road designed by Ron and Linda Baird. The garden show is open every day during the CNE and is included in the admission to the grounds. The City’s display is in heritage court at the west end of the National Trade Centre, at the eastern end of the CNE grounds. The CNE continues until Labour Day. See VIRUS page A2 Pickering man says it was all a mistake BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —In a bizarre domestic dispute in- volving the genital mutilation of a Pickering man on his birthday, his common-law wife has been charged with aggravated assault. Barrington Wynn, in an interview outside the Oshawa courthouse on Tuesday, said he came home drunk after 1 a.m. Monday morning, fol- lowing a birthday celebration at a friend’s home in Picker- ing, and began “slapping around” the couple’s 15-year- old son because he had let an acquaintance of Mr. Wynn’s inside the home, despite in- structions not to do so. Mr. Wynn, 46, said his 42- year-old wife then grabbed his genitals to try and stop him resulting in the ripping open of his scrotum. Mr. Wynn said he was only wearing jockey shorts at the time. Durham Regional Police Sgt. Paul Malik said officers received a call shortly after 3 a.m. Monday and upon their arrival, immediately rushed Mr. Wynn to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Mr. Wynn said although doctors initially told him he would require surgery, he re- ceived 100 stitches and was released from hospital Mon- day. He said he felt fine. Mr. Wynn, who was in court for his common-law wife’s bail hearing, described the incident as accidental and said he did not want to press charges. “My wife made a mis- take,” he said. “This is a nightmare and I wish I could wake up. I want them to with- draw the charge.” However, his wife’s lawyer, Colin Adams, said the Crown may still pursue charges, claiming the wishes of victims in domestic dis- putes are often not respected. “As with most domestic situations in a long-standing relationship there are two sets of feelings involved,” he said. “There appears to be more to this than meets the eye at the moment.” He said the accused is also a victim in this case and has a strong self-defence argu- ment. Mr. Adams said his client would be staying at her sis- ter’s home overnight on Tuesday to allow Mr. Wynn the opportunity to move some of his belongings out of their Pickering home. Mr. Wynn said he would be staying with a friend until the case is settled. Donna Crichton of Gle- nanna Road, was released on $2,000 bail Tuesday with or- ders to stay away from the victim and father of their three children. Ms. Crichton is scheduled to be back in Oshawa court Sept. 10. Scrotum torn in domestic dispute ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Quinn denies Johnson had permission for roadwork PICKERING —Ward 3 Re- gional Councillor Rick Johnson did not have permission to con- struct either of the two roadways he built to access his landlocked property in north Pickering, ac- cording to the City’s chief admin- istrative officer. A written statement released Monday from the office of Tom Quinn, who is currently on vaca- tion, said the required approvals have not yet been granted for the work. Coun. Johnson has come under fire recently for bulldozing two roads, the first along a hiking trail and another on an unopened road allowance, to provide access to a piece of land- locked proper- ty he pur- chased last year on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Coun. John- son and his lawyer John Howes have maintained he had the neces- sary approvals to complete the work from Mr. Quinn. In an inter- view Tuesday, Mr. Howes said “at this point there is really nothing productive about us saying the same thing over again”. He said he will be discussing the matter with the City of Pickering solici- tor over the next few days. According to the statement is- sued by Mr. Quinn, Coun. John- son requested permission from municipal staff earlier this year to “undertake some clearing opera- tions on both Sideline 8 and the Uxbridge Pickering Town Line in order to use these road allowances as access to property he had ac- quired.” The statement reports Coun. Johnson advised City staff he was seeking the necessary approvals and permission to use the road al- lowances to access his property. “Mr. Johnson was advised that subject to obtaining the necessary approvals, which included an ex- amination of his plans, permission would be given to construct a laneway for access to his property to facilitate his clearing opera- tions,” the statement says. “Those approvals have not been attained nor have the neces- sary agreements been completed between City staff and Mr. John- son.” Pickering ponders ban on pesticides BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING — The City is seeking alternatives to using pesticides here in an effort to eliminate the adverse health and environmental impacts caused by the chemicals. Pickering councillors voted earlier this month to explore the use of alternatives to pesti- cides and the possibility of banning the use of toxic prod- ucts on municipal property. City staff has been asked to prepare a report for council- lors to consider before they make a decision. “I think it’s a good time to bring it forward. A number of other municipalities are con- sidering resolutions,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, noting one of “the major areas where we have been getting problems are in our watershed”. He said pesticides are a regular source of contami- nants in Frenchman’s Bay, adding “they play a large role in our inability to move for- ward with the regeneration of our wetlands.” Coun. Holland added area residents have expressed con- cerns with respect to the health effects of pesticides. He noted technology has advanced to the point where there are “viable” natural al- ternatives and said now is the time to begin exploring some of those options. Coun. Holland suggested a motion calling for a ban on all toxic pesticides in the munici- pality as of Jan. 1, 2004. How- ever, his colleagues wanted more information from staff before voting on that proposal. “There has to be a lot of work done between now and then,” he said, noting the mu- nicipality would have to pro- vide residents with informa- tion on the possible alterna- tives. He also said enforcement will be an important compo- nent should the City decide to ban the use of pesticides. “We have been mitigating our pesticide use over the years,” Coun. Holland said, adding the City has “not elim- inated our toxic inventory”. At the Regional level Mike Slocombe, an operations tech- nician for Durham roads, said there hasn’t been any direction from staff to ban the use of pesticides across the region. He explained the policy on Pickering resident Barrington Wynn speaks to media outside the Oshawa court Tuesday. His genitals were mutilated in a domestic dispute early Monday morning.

The virus is then spread to humans through mosquito bites. “The risk for contracting the West Nile Virus is still low. However, as we detect more positive birds... the virus is making an impact in Ontario,” Dr. Reynolds said. However, area residents are being reminded to take proactive measures to prevent mosquito bites as the num- ber of birds that have contracted the virus continues to climb across the province. To date 10 birds have been con- firmed positive, while another two in Toronto and three in Peel Region are presumed positive. Area residents are being advised to cover up and use a mosquito repellent containing DEET when outside in the evenings. Residents are also being urged to reduce mosquito-breeding sites around their homes by ensuring there is no standing water where mosqui- toes can lay their eggs. Dr. Reynolds reported the virus has not yet been detected in Durham, but said, “A number of birds are out there being tested. I would not be surprised if we follow the pattern that we see.” For more information about the West Nile virus, visit the Region’s Web site at www.region.durham.on.ca. A pam- phlet, ‘Mosquitoes and West Nile Virus’, is also available from the health department. To report a sighting of a sick or dead bird, call the health department’s environmental helpline at 905-723- 8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2188. VIRUS from page A1 Virus fears prompt flood of calls Read up online at durhamregion.comSchool board reviews OK: chairmen Just the fax: 905-683-7363 Catholic board education di- rector Grant Andrews said in the long run he’s not averse to look- ing at independent board reviews. He believes, however, there are more pressing needs in the educa- tion system, highlighted in the re- port, that need “immediate atten- tion” when the government prior- itizes the recommendations. “I think the first priority is to get a sufficient number of teachers of high standard to meet our exist- ing needs,” said Mr. Andrews. BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s school board chairmen favour the idea of inde- pendent reviews of school boards, as proposed by an education ministry task force. The 35 recommendations in the re- port of the Task Force on Effective Schools were released earlier this month. The wide-ranging suggestions in- clude a call for a new, arm’s-length agency of the Education Ministry to conduct regular reviews of school boards. The review would determine how boards are doing in fostering a high level of student achievement, and also look at board policies, board and school improvement plans, and how boards re- view school performance, among oth- ers suggestions. Education Minister Janet Ecker has said she likes many of the recommen- dations. Fred Jones, chairman of the Durham Catholic District School Board and trustee for Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock, said he has not read the recom- mendations in detail. But “a truly arm’s-length review structure of some sort... is clearly not a bad notion.” “Something of that nature is clearly re- quired either at a local board level or a higher level. I’m an advocate of ac- countability; I think accountability is a good thing.” Trustee Jones said he would prefer a board review process be established at the local board level, something “that wouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all organiza- tion” and could be fine-tuned to meet the needs of individual boards. “I don’t think it’s a bad thing,” added Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy, chair- man of the Durham District School Board. She said such a process may be ben- eficial in answering questions such as, what is an effective school board and why. A radiation therapist, Trustee Roy said she is accustomed to evaluation and re-evaluation in the health-care field and said it already occurs at the Durham public board. Trustee Jones set up an ad hoc audit and accountability committee at the Catholic board that for the past year has been “meeting to come up with terms of reference and a mandate which would be acceptable to the board of trustees”. Oshawa Trustee Stan Karwowski chairs the committee, while Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty is vice-chair- man. Next month Trustee Jones hopes trustees will make the group a perma- nent board committee. If formalized, the committee is intended to prompt in- dependent audits, as trustees see fit, where an outsider would evaluate infor- mation staff presents to trustees for ac- curacy.

New Hwy. 407 stretch opens early BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham residents will be able to travel the newest stretch of Ontario’s only toll road starting to- morrow. The 15-kilometre extension of Hwy. 407 from Markham Road to Brock Road in Pickering will be open to mo- torists Thursday following an official opening ceremony at the York/Durham line at 9 a.m. “It’s going to mean an awful lot for Durham residents and Durham busi- nesses, especially businesses in Ajax and Pickering,” said Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson, who’s been a longtime supporter of the need for the highway here. “It’s the end of a long process and the beginning of what I hope to be a shorter process on the ex- tension to Hwy. 35/115.” The construction of the east partial extension into Durham Region began in April 2000, eight months behind sched- ule. But, it’s opening four months earli- er than expected, said Betty Fevreau, spokesman for SLF Joint Venture, the company that built the highway. That’s an added bonus, said Mr. An- derson, who believes the “timing is good” with the long weekend approach- ing. “Some people will be very pleased. Obviously the people who are using the 407 presently can now get over to Brock Road and Hwy. 7 so some commuters will probably be very happy,” said Pick- ering Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. However, he said, “A number of people who live in the area are not going to be very pleased with the additional traffic it will bring. “I guess what we have to concentrate now on in the City of Pickering is get- ting the appropriate road improvements in place, like Brock Road,” Coun. Pick- les said, adding the City also has to en- sure the placement of future inter- changes is appropriate. The City of Pickering has been push- ing the Region to commit funding to help widen Brock Road for some time. However, that project has been dropped from the Region’s five-year plan, al- though Mr. Anderson said it’s still on the books. “The Region has a lot of roads to do. We’re trying to put as much money as we can into the Region’s capital budget for roads,” he said. “I think you’ll find after a while when the traffic patterns show them- selves, the impact may not be as severe as people expect.” Mr. Anderson added “any impact would be temporary” and will be re- duced when the next portion of the high- way opens.

BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM —Heading into Grandview Children’s Centre with its brightly painted cartoon walls, swim- ming pool and computers, doesn’t feel like walking into a place for chil- dren who have felt more pain than most people will ever know. The swimming pool, visible through giant circles of bubble glass, is heated to about 95 degrees and used for physiotherapy for children with juvenile arthritis. Many of the computers assist children in commu- nicating because they’ll never be able to speak. And though many of the clients at Grandview suffer severe pain all the time, the painted cartoon lands splashed over the walls reflect how the centre makes many special- needs children feel. “I’ve been here since I was diag- nosed with cerebral palsy,” said 12- year-old Chantelle Gavin. “Just being here and seeing people who are like me and having fun talking — this is my favourite in the world and where I’ve grown up... I went to school here, I did everything here.” In the last 10 years, Grandview’s caseload has increased by 300 per cent (1,339 clients in 1991/92 to 3,450 in 00/01) due to public aware- ness and high population growth. “We are the only facility in Durham Region that’s funded by the Ministry of Health to provide this particular range of services for kids with disabilities and special needs,” said Linda Watson, executive director for Grandview Children’s Centre. “It’s all government-funded so there’s no cost... all these services are publicly funded.” Grandview Children’s Centre of- fers physiotherapy, speech and lan- guage therapy, audiology and much more through hired health profes- sionals, including a medical director. Children up to age 21 with physical disabilities, speech and language problems and preschool kids with de- velopmental disabilities or concerns use the centre. “All of them (Grandview children) have some form of disability whether it be physical, behavioural, or ver- bal,” said Cheri Wardell-Carey, recre- ational co-ordinator. “That’s a pre- requisite to get into this program.” Part of the summer recreational program was a trip to the Grandview Children’s Foundation Golf Tourna- ment. “I got a bag with all kinds of stuff and I saw superman,” said seven- year-old Levi who went to the golf tournament. “Superman had a magic show and he made water disappear... I got a ride on the golf cart and I went golfing in the grass on the hill.” Levi’s excitement about the tour- nament and Grandview Children’s Centre, burst out of him. “I go outside and play at Grand- view,” said Levi. “I like it a lot and why I like it a lot is because I can go outside and play and make crafts and I can have a lot of fun.” The recreation program also in- cludes art programs, where children get to make crafts such as cut-and- paste alien faces with professional artist Wendy Wallace, who has been working with Grandview Children since 1995. “The reason I come back (to Grandview) is because of the one out of 15 kids that you can make a differ- ence with,” she said, adding she loves the art Grandview children make. “There’s a lot of freedom here; struc- ture doesn’t exist for a lot of these kids, so there’s that freedom of ex- pression. They have the freedom to make art with no boundaries.” The school housed within the cen- tre is separate from Grandview, but works closely with it. It has four classrooms, which hold seven chil- dren each. The school teaches chil- dren for one year, usually the first year of school, about how to commu- nicate through computers and use equipment independently to make daily living a little more manageable. In all the programs, many assis- tants are available for the children. Summer programs at Grandview such as the weeklong half-day recreation program are available for a nominal fee, allowing the centre to stay alive despite a funding crunch dating back to 1994. To keep up with the additional funding demands, the Grandview Children’s Foundation was created six years ago. “Grandview Children’s Founda- tion exists to raise funds for the cen- tre,” said Mrs. Watson. The founda- tion raises awareness and donates funds for the centre and school. It’s raised approximately $800,000 for equipment and special projects. A recent Ministry of Health re- view of Grandview resulted in a mod- est but appreciated increase in fund- ing for the centre during the May 9 provincial budget. Mrs. Watson said the increase is good news for people on the waiting list to get into the cen- tre and its satellite stations across Durham. The centre was started in 1953 by a group of people with seriously dis- abled children. Known as the Oshawa and District Cerebral Palsy School and Clinic, it acted as a playgroup that provided therapy. Since that time, the centre has switch hands and owners several times and in 1986/87, it became a new corporation under its current title, which stays in the hearts of many children. “Doctors told me I would never walk or talk, but look at me now,” said Chantelle. “I walk and I talk with the help of Grandview.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 29, 2001 Grandview makes all the difference for special kids Visit us online at:durhamregion.comA.J.

City to probe new ways to fight pests spraying Regional properties for weeds is set out in a quality standard that was approved by Durham council several years ago. The objective of the policy is “to discourage the spread of noxious weeds onto adja- cent properties while minimizing, as much as possi- ble, the impact on the environment and health of the citizens of the Re- gion.” Meanwhile, works department spokesman Sherri Munns-Audet re- ported the Region takes a proactive approach towards limiting the use of pesticides on the grounds surrounding its facilities. “There isn’t any weed spraying at Regional facilities unless it’s deemed absolutely necessary by Regional staff,” she said.

At Monday night’s Durham District School Board meeting, trustees agreed with the Brock-Uxbridge trustee that the survey, to be conducted in November, should be delayed until the Province de- cides what to do with recommendations from the Task Force on Effective Schools. “To do a blanket survey I think is a waste of money and I think sends the wrong signal to parents that you’re real- ly being accountable around survey methodology,” Trustee Loraine said in an interview. She said the Ontario-wide survey seems to fly in the face of the focus and some recommendations in the task force report, released two weeks ago, noting many centre on improvement at the in- dividual school level. Recommendation 21, for example, urges the ministry to “identify and man- date a common self-evaluation process for schools, one that is open and public; that involves a significant role for par- ents and, where appropriate, students; and that leads to a published improve- ment plan from every publicly-funded school in the province.” Trustee Loraine said the task force recommendations might lead to the gov- ernment asking school councils to do the survey. And with the ministry stressing individual school improvement, and giv- ing school councils a greater role in the education system, Trustee Loraine said her initial reaction to the provincial sur- vey was, “why would you have that sur- vey coming out of the ministry?” But Education Ministry spokesman Rob Savage said the Province has nei- ther decided how it will conduct the sur- vey nor if it will distribute it to parents only or people in general. “The mechanisms of how we are going to do this are still being looked at. Certainly the intent is to get the input of parents,” said Mr. Savage, noting that going through school councils is one op- tion. Last December, Education Minister Janet Ecker announced regulations to strengthen the role of school councils in the education system. School boards and individual principals are now required to seek the councils’ views in creating and changing policies that affect students, including action plans for student im- provement based on provincewide test results, and implementation plans for new education initiatives. In that context, Trustee Loraine said the Province seems to be saying “we’re going our own route” on the survey, while telling boards they must consult with school councils. Trustee Loraine said a survey of the broader population would generate re- sponses from people who do not know much about the education system, namely a lot of perceptions “which may not be based on any fact”. “The report is just a very shallow at- tempt at saying, ‘here’s a report card on how our mandate is progressing,” she said. “It’s not really going to be anything meaningful.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 29, 2001 PAGE A5 A/P Durham trustee questions effectiveness of education survey NANCY LORAINE ‘It’s not going to be anything meaningful.’ Student trustees ease into new positions DURHAM —The public school board’s new student trustees had a quiet first board meeting Monday night, but say they are prepared to be active mem- bers of the Durham District School Board. Brandon Reeve, a student at Exeter High School in Ajax, and David Werry, who attends Eastdale Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa, are the board’s student representatives for the coming school year. “I think it was interesting just getting a feel for the people and what goes on here,” Mr. Werry said after the meeting. “We both kind of sat back and ob- served to see how procedure works,” added Mr. Reeve. Last year, the board’s student trustees, Karmyn Giesbrecht of Henry Street High School in Whitby and Port Perry High School’s Chris Skinner, fre- quently became involved in trustee de- bates and discussions. Mr. Werry said he would certainly speak up if trustees were discussing an issue he feels strongly about. Mr. Reeve said he’s not going to comment on something if he knows nothing about the issue, but suggested he too will be involved when he has something to offer.

Love him or hate him, rural Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson is no stranger to controversy. He’s been brought to task in the past on various issues, he always shoots from the hip and it’s fair to say there are few in-betweens when it comes to the veteran Pickering politi- cian. The latest controversy for Coun. Johnson, regarding the creation of new roads and the removal of several trees in an environmentally sensitive area of land he acquired last year, is one that can’t simply be cast aside or dismissed out of hand. Pickering residents — and a growing contingent of politi- cians — are demanding answers. For Coun. Johnson, the City of Pickering and staff mem- bers involved in the issue, a full investigation is required to determine what violations, if any, occurred in the councillor’s pursuit of pastoral splendour. Coun. Johnson has maintained he has done nothing wrong and said he had the necessary verbal approvals from Picker- ing chief administrative officer Tom Quinn. “We do these agreements all the time with residents who want to open up a sideline and put a driveway in,” said Coun. Johnson. “I’ve done nothing to violate the public trust or the... position I hold. I’ll continue to serve my constituents to the best of my ability.” Mr. Quinn has since weighed in, noting in a release that “Mr. Johnson was advised that subject to obtaining the nec- essary approvals, which included an examination of his plans, permission would be given to construct a laneway for access to his property to facilitate his clearing operations.” However, the CAO clearly said in his statement that the re- quired approvals have still not been attained. Whatever the outcome, a transparent and public review of the process leading up to the point where shovels actually went in the ground will answer a lot of questions Pickering citizens are asking. As well, it could identify gaps in the approvals process that can be closed, or errors in communication that can be elimi- nated in future cases. Coun. Johnson has taken some hard knocks over this issue in recent weeks — not the least of which came from fellow Durham Region politician Gerri Lynn O’Connor. As such, he’d best be advised to actively participate in the upcoming probe and provide full disclosure in the matter to determine what, if anything, went wrong here. Almost since the day they were elected in October 1993, the federal Liberals have never run across a leak they didn’t love. Canadians, until this past decade, had rarely ever heard so much so soon about the finances of their federal govern- ment. But the Liberals absolutely love to put the spin on what- ever message they’re selling to the public and who can argue with their methods: they’ve won three straight majority gov- ernments and don’t look to be in any trouble of adding a fourth. Back in the fall of 1993, it was a stunned Paul Martin who revealed to the nation months before his February 1994 inau- gural budget that the country was in a deep financial chasm. The deficit was worse than we ever expected Mr. Martin moaned, preparing the country well for the tough-love, job- slashing budgets he presented in the mid-1990s. Similarly, when we turned the corner and became deficit- free several years ago, hints of the good news to come was made public weeks and months in advance to pump up the polls and spread the cheer well before Mr. Martin delivered the budget. Now, it would seem, we could be heading back to bad times. The economic numbers have not been good; growth has been stalled, inflation has been creeping upward, the dot- com sector has announced loads of layoffs. All of this plays havoc with Mr. Martin’s last five-year forecast, delivered in February 2000, which promised a massive $58-billion tax cut. That was announced at about the same time we were licking our chops over surpluses that were singing along in the $15 to $30 billion range. Growth rates were staggering then with lit- tle on the horizon to offer a negative outlook. But reduced profit means less tax revenue. While Mr. Mar- tin can’t take back his tax cut pledge — it would be political suicide to do so and might further hurt the economy — the prospects for new spending to fight child poverty, to clean up the environment, to bolster foreign aid, are grim. The message out of Ottawa these days is we could be in for some belt-tightening over the next year or so. That’s to be expected since a hot economy never lasts forever. The one good sign is that Prime Minister Jean Chretien and Mr. Mar- tin are absolutely committed to never going into deficit again. We may have to wait a little while for the good times to re- turn, but the Liberals would say they have all the time in the world. With no effective opposition to push the process along, they’re right. Paul Young said,“I am worried about going to some places like parks.” Geoff Claydon said,“Not for myself, but I am for my teenage son and other young people.” Trevor Brown said,“I am concerned. My brother walks the dog at night and I worry about him.” Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 29, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com So many ways to continue Terry’s legacy To the editor: At this time of year, newspapers and television shows are filled with images of Terry Fox at various stages during his ‘Marathon of Hope.’A few weeks ago on July 28, Terry would have celebrated his 43rd birthday. On Sunday, Sept. 16, the 21st Terry Fox Run takes place at the Pickering Recreation Complex and in several countries worldwide to raise money for cancer research.

You can walk, snowboard, push a baby in a stroller, in-line skate, or assist someone in a wheelchair or run. You can also show your support by coming to the run site to cheer the participants or purchase a but- ton, T-shirt, hat, sweatshirt or place a bid at the silent-auction table on items generously donated by area businesses. Along with local orga- nizer Sandra Armstrong, we, the volunteers, look forward to seeing you. Thanks to all of you, $22,000 was raised in 2000. This year we’re hoping to ex- ceed that total.

Joy Walton, Pickering Time to stand up to greed, materialism To the editor: Re: ‘Has our tolerance backfired,’ letter to the editor, Aug. 15. There isn’t enough room for me to say everything that needs to be said. I’m sure I could write a book about what has happened to our once quiet little town. We came here 12-and-a-half years ago and like Gary Jury says in his letter, it has expanded too much and too fast. However, we can’t blame a lack of tolerance on that. What we can blame it on is greed, materialism, commercial- ism, bad parenting, bad schooling, and too-long summer holidays, which lead to boredom as many parents can’t afford to send their kids away, let alone have a family holiday. Part of the problem is also bad judgement and parents who indulge their little darlings in their heart’s desire and who would rather be friends than parents — anything to keep the peace. This is a problem that is world- wide. It starts in the home and with humans in general who haven’t the willpower or the guts to say ‘no’to whatever. People who have to go one better than next door to give their kids the best of everything, etc. I’m afraid it won’t stop until we as a nation and who are supposed to have pride, get up and say ‘no’, enough already and mean it. It won’t matter where you move, the problems will follow you. We’ve tried it. J.R.

Negative vibes Federal government sending out feelers that good times coming to a halt Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty says his will be Ontario’s best-ever opposition party — so which was the best and whose mark does he have to beat? Those who were around at that time would find it hard not to pick the New Democratic Party led by Donald C. MacDonald between 1963 and 1967. This may sound odd because the NDP elected only seven MPPs in 1963 and added an eighth in a by- election a year later. Throughout that span it was outnumbered by the Liberal official opposition 3-1. Three of its MPPs also were what are commonly called good constituency members, those who look after their ridings well but have no talent for the parliamentary cut and thrust needed to embarrass a government. Therefore, this bur- den was thrown on an even fewer number. Those few obviously had excep- tional abilities. Mr. MacDonald was an all-round competent, dogged and tireless debater, the most under- rated party leader of recent times. His strengths included knowing, because he had to know, more about a broader range of govern- ment activities than anyone in any party. For one thing he had led the NDP when it had only three MPPs and he was its official spokesman on 20 of 22 ministries, so having seven MPPs was a luxury to him. He represented a Toronto riding with scarcely a blade of grass, but became so respected a critic on agriculture he started winning farm votes. Stephen Lewis was then in his mid-20s and was the legislature’s most brilliant orator in the past half- century. He is now the United Na- tions’ special envoy on AIDS and turns the intellectual level up sever- al notches every time he speaks in that role. Back in the 1960s, Mr. Lewis added charisma to a party known more for slogging and made the Tory government’s life miserable with his verbal dexterity. When Mr. Lewis finished his maiden speech, Progressive Con- servative premier John Robarts conceded generously and perhaps enviously “something new has been added to this legislature today”‚ and awestruck welfare minister Louis Cecile admitted he could “not even think of competing in ability to use the English language”. Jim Renwick, a former corpora- tion lawyer who turned his back on business and gave the NDP huge authority on legal issues; Ken Bry- den, only slightly in their shade and a professor who was top of the class in tackling almost any topic; and Fred Young a United Church minis- ter who put the fight for govern- ment auto insurance among the party’s commandments, made an almost unsurpassed front line. The NDP could spot issues that appealed to the public and fought for them with zest backed by infor- mation. It pointed to a lack of safe- ty measures at work, paltry welfare services, callousness in nursing homes, cruelty in jails and reform schools and failure to replant forests left wastelands in the north. Mr. Lewis argued the Tories “are incapable of keeping pace with the demands of contemporary society”‚ and when they responded to criti- cisms by knocking 11 cents off a case of 24 beer in the north, he scoffed “you cannot buy the north, gentlemen, for a fistful of hops.” The NDP broke new ground. It started the first real campaign in the legislature for equal treatment at work and later pay equity for women and urged the Province to ban imports of wines from South Africa, which was practising apartheid, eventually done only when a Liberal government came in two decades later. The NDP with the financial re- strictions of being so small had no media officer and Mr. MacDonald made up for it by becoming the only party leader ever to deliver his news releases personally to re- porters, which gave him an advan- tage in that they could ask him questions and he could spin the an- swers his way. Premier Robarts, whenever Lib- erals looked challenging, pointed across at the NDP and growled “we know who the real enemy is,” which was meant to undercut the Liberals but still carried some grain of truth. The NDP efforts bore some fruit. In the 1967 election it jumped to 20 seats, but brought in trouble- makers like Morton Shulman, who exposed Tory defects but hurt his own party with his errors, and John Brown, a social worker prickly even with friends and eventually jailed for defrauding the govern- ment. Mr. Lewis also pushed out Mr. MacDonald as leader. Mr. Mac- Donald warned Mr. Lewis might scare electors, which he did. The NDP then dropped back slightly in the next election. But there are lessons for Mr. McGuinty, who should recognize he is far ahead in polls more be- cause the Tories made mistakes than because of his own party’s per- formance. Current NDP leader Howard Hampton, who has only eight MPPs, at least might feel con- soled numbers are not always everything. Is McGuinty best opposition ever?

This 144-page book, printed on 50- per cent recycled paper with 20-per cent post consumer waste stock, is a compre- hensive how-to-guide for companies looking to ‘green’their operations. In 1990, the hotel chain undertook the development of a green program for its hotels across Canada. Its aim was to institute the highest possible standards of environmental stewardship and be- come international leaders in the indus- try. Management asked professional en- vironmental consultants for advice but most importantly they also asked their 10,000 employees how they would feel about introducing a green program. With overwhelming support, ideas came forth that formed the basis for their ac- tion plans and for the first edition of ‘The Green Partnership Guide’. The second edition, with foreword by Dr. David Suzuki and endorsed by Pol- lution Probe, World Wildlife Fund, the Government’s Environmental Choice Program, and the International Hotels Environment Initiatives, is an updated step-by-step guide of how to incorporate environmental initiatives into the work- place. It details everything needed to start, maintain, and promote an environmental program, including information on re- ducing operating costs, enhancing cor- porate profiles, employee motivation, and guest appreciation. With over 10 years of experience, Fairmont has proven that environmental stewardship is not only good for the planet, but it is also great for business. The guide begins chapters with a goal, which states a problem, lists facts, offers alternatives, and then follows with a success story. The guide also includes eight pages of ‘green’contacts. One success story describes how Vancouver’s Fairmont Hotel pioneered a unique pool sanitation system that is less harmful to guests and the environment. The saline pool technology is based on the manufacturing of chlorine, where no chlorine granules, pucks, or pellets are purchased. The hotel replaced these concentrat- ed forms with a baking soda and salt so- lution that maintains the water quality of the pool. Chlorine is required to sanitize pool water, but with the new system, chlorine is generated from electric currents and there is no longer a need to purchase the concentrated chlorine. This system also eliminated the use of chemical acid dis- infectants. Not only is it more environ- mentally friendly, but also saves the hotel money every year. Prior to this sys- tem, $2,700 a year was spent for the pur- chase of chlorine versus $750 for rock salt and baking soda. “A concrete example of how busi- nesses can involve employees in some- thing everyone can feel good about. It’s good for business, it’s good for morale, it’s good for the planet” writes Dr. Suzu- ki. The guide can be ordered for $30 ($20 for non-profit and environmental groups) by e-mailing lyle.thompson@fairmont.com or calling 416-874-2410 or 416-874-2600. You can also visit www.fairmont.com.

New coach wonders how offensive club will be BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —Where will the goals come from? That’s what new Pickering Pan- thers head coach Bill Purcell is won- dering as the club continues its train- ing camp in preparation for next month’s start of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League season. With last year’s leading scorer and South Conference rookie of the year Matt Christie not a lock to return to the club, and with another sniper, Dan Schofield, opting to attend college in the Ottawa Valley, the coach said goal scoring may pose a problem for the club this season. “We have a lot of work to do,” noted Purcell. “We don’t have a lot of players coming back (from last sea- son) so, basically, the way I look at it now, we’ve lost a lot of scoring. “The goal- tending is going to be good. I don’t think it’s something I’m going to have to worry about. I think we’re going to be de- cent on defence, but the goal scoring is some- thing I’m wor- ried about. It’s an unknown factor right now.” According to Purcell, Christie, who passed on the Ontario Hockey League draft in favour of at- tending a U.S. college on a hockey scholar- ship in a year’s time, is still not committed to a tier II junior ‘A’ team for the coming cam- paign, although Purcell admits St. Michael’s and Thornhill have made over- tures to the tal- ented forward. Nonetheless, Purcell believes firmly that Christie should return to the Panthers’ fold. “If Christie does come back, he’ll be a hell of an addi- tion for us,” he said. “We’re still trying to get him. He’s from Ajax, so I don’t know why he would want to play out of the area. At least he should give a new coach an interview. That’s something he should do, so I can ex- plain my side of things to him.” Pickering opened its pre-season campaign with a 5-2 loss to the Os- hawa Legionaires at the Pickering Recreation Complex Saturday after- noon. The exhibition contest allowed the Panthers’ coaching staff to ice 15 rookies, most of whom are still on the bubble to make the team. Purcell said he was “very pleased with the way things went”, noting the rookies stepped up, displaying both hustle and desire against a veteran- laden Oshawa squad, although he de- clined to name those who had im- pressed him the most. “We dressed 15 rookies for the game and I was very pleased with how they did... very pleased,” said Purcell. With offensive production being a question mark at this stage of the sea- son, two components of the team shaping up nicely for Pickering are its defence and goaltending. Veteran defencemen Kyle Aitken and Alex Greig are both expected back with the Panthers, although they are currently attending Ontario Hockey League training camps. In goal, the club has veteran goaltenders Mike An- dreoff and Bobby Poposki returning to the fold this season. Up front, veterans Garett Winder and Brent Chandler will also be back. The Panthers’ next exhibition tilt is against the Ajax Axemen today (Wednesday) at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex at 8:30 p.m. Ajax resident tees it up with North America’s best BY BRIAN LEGREE Staff Editor AJAX —The junior golf tour that spawned some of the top players in the world — Tiger Woods, Phil Mickleson, Sergio Garcia, Davis Love III and David Duval — is mak- ing a stop in Durham Region. One hundred of the top junior- aged players from across North America will be at Deer Creek Golf Club Aug. 29 to 31 for the American Junior Golf Association’s Future Links championship. The field includes players from as far away as California, New York, Texas and Michigan, as well as plen- ty from Ontario, including two of Durham’s top young guns — Axle Riley of Ajax and Oshawa’s Dustin Wetherup. “It’s a great chance for kids to showcase their talents,” said Stuart Brindle, director of golf at Deer Creek. “And it gives (U.S.) college coaches a chance to see who the good kids are. It’s an excellent vehicle to get a scholarship.” The 54-hole event begins at 7 a.m. on Aug. 29 and the public is welcome to attend. “It’s a really strong field,” said Brindle. “And the kids are such qual- ity kids. They’re so polite and the eti- quette and attitudes are phenomenal. It’s quite refreshing.” The tournament is just one of two AJGA events held in Canada. The other is in Whistler, B.C. “We’re in good company,” said Brindle, noting Deer Creek is com- mitted to assisting junior golf devel- opment. “It’s a great thing for the kids. It’s part of our overall program to give back to junior golf.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 29, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 29, 2001 Local course hosts top junior golfers Panthers on prowl for punch FAX Game results to News Advertiser newsroom 905-683-7363 ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Tumbling to the turf PICKERING — Ajax-Pickering Dolphins' running back Cecil Cherrie appears headed to the turf while at- tempting to break a big gain during Central Ontario Football League atom division action at Pickering's Kinsmen Park Sunday morning.

What is the benefit of changing the brake fluid? ANSWER: The majority of car manufacturers use a glycol based brake fluid due to fact that it is hydroscopic, which means that the fluid will readily absorb small amounts of water moisture. Glycol based brake fluid is typically rated at dot 3 or dot 4 to represent the specific characteristics of the fluid and conform to government standards (Department of Transportation) and the society of automotive engineers standards to successfully stop a vehicle in motion, the forward kinetic energy of the vehicle must be transformed into heat energy by the friction of brake system components and then dissipated into the air. A drop of water moisture in a hydraulic brake system will vaporize or turn from liquid to a gas when heated. The heat created by the brake system friction materials will exceed the boiling point of water, creating a small vapour lock in the hydraulic brake system. Gaseous vapour, unlike the liquid brake fluid can be compressed, creating a dangerously low, mushy brake pedal when the system is at operating temperature, moisture slowly enters a brake system through the brake component piston seals and the brake master cylinder reservoir cover. When opened this suspended moisture in the brake system may cause internal corrosion in the bores of the brake calipers, wheel cylinders, master cylinder and anti lock brake components that will in turn damage the piston seals of these various components as they move back and forth over the surface that has been corroded. Components may seize completely from the effects of corrosion if not corrected. Brake master cylinders can develop internal leakage from damaged seals and as a result cause the brake pedal to drop to the floor when applied. A brake fluid flush will replace all of the brake fluid in your cars hydraulic braking system and is accomplished by opening valves call bleeder screws on the brake calipers (disc brakes) and wheel cylinders (drum brakes) on all four corners of the car, then pumping new brake fluid through the system from the master cylinder reservoir by either applying pressure with the brake pedal or by using a device called a “power brake bleeder” that attaches to the top of the master cylinder reservoir with an adapter, via a hose to the device. The power brake bleeder holds a large volume of new brake fluid and a flexible air bladder that expands with regulated, compressed shop air. The new brake fluid is forced through the system, allowing the technician to shut off each bleeder or screw as the brake fluid begins to flow clearly, signifying that the old, dirty brake fluid has been displaced by new, clean fluid. The benefits of quality maintenance will be less expensive repair bills in the future, allowing your vehicle to age gracefully.

A/P PAGE B6-THE AJAX PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 29, 2001 Visit Us On the Internet: www.durhamregion.com Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 29, 2001 Pickering girl on a high following national highland dance competition PICKERING —A young highland dancer kicked up her heels while competing at a major dance event in Montreal recently. Lauren Black, nine, fin- ished near the top of the coun- try at the Canadian Inter- Provincial Highland Dance Championship in Montreal. A member of the Dalliday Dancers of Pickering, she took part in four days of competi- tion against the best dancers from each province. Black earned two third- place medals and two fifth- place medals, ranking her sixth in Canada in her catego- ry. The Pickering resident earned the right to wear the Ontario tartan sash at the Montreal event after posting an outstanding result at the Ontario Closed Highland Dancing Championships. In her debut performance in the premier category, she cap- tured the second runner-up po- sition in the premier nine-and- under group. Lauren’s highland dance career has charted an upward course over the four years since she began dancing in this discipline. After three years of competition, she worked her way to the top rank of premier. She now competes in all the traditional forms of highland dance — sword, fling, Seann Triubhas and reel — as well as less familiar dances — jig, hornpipe, blue bonnets, Earl of Errol, village maid and lad- die. Highland dance school choreographs a win AJAX —Following a year off, an Ajax-based highland dancing studio picked up where it left off in its pursuit of a Cana- dian championship. The Wallace-Symington School of Highland Dance re- entered the Canadian Inter- Provincial Highland Dancing Championships in Montreal re- cently, capturing the gold medal in the large group choreography category. The group reclaimed the title it won in Ottawa in 1999, before taking a year away from the competition in 2000. Also winning gold was the school’s entry in small group choreography in the 18-and-over category. The group, consisting of Jen- nifer Blackburn and Hill and Erin Rose, choreographed the number themselves. Individually, Erin Rose, 19, was the first runner-up in her age group at the inter-provincials and is currently ranked second in the world. All of the school’s dancers compete year-round at indoor and outdoor competitions and at Highland Games throughout Ontario and the U.S. from May until August. Currently, some of the dancers are in Scotland com- peting. Lorraine Symington instructs the girls. Highway 2 Brock RdLiverpool RdKingston Rd.
