Here, the Picker- ing midget girls select squad squares off against Chinguacousy in recent tournament action at Kinsmen Park. City backs nuclear restart Pickering councillors also seek conditions PICKERING —City council- lors voted Monday to support the restart of the ‘A’-side reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS). Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has applied to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for an amendment to its operating licence to allow the four A units to return to service. The re- actors have been shut down since Dec. 31, 1997. Council voted Aug. 8 to defer voting on supporting the restart until a proposed monitoring pro- gram had been finalized. But, the CNSC, which set a deadline of Aug. 31 for receiving public input on the matter, would not grant the City an extension. So, councillors held a special meeting Monday and voted to re- quest the CNSC make the creation of a monitoring program a condi- tion of relicensing. “I have to accept it’s tied to the conditions,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. Coun. Brenner had called on his colleagues to defer the issue in early August because he wanted to ensure the monitoring program would be in place. He noted the CNSC would not grant the extension for input and said if the City had failed to meet the deadline it “would have lost the opportunity” to comment. The City is also asking the CNSC to ensure OPG, as another condition of relicensing, makes arrangements with Pickering con- cerning fire and emergency re- sponse services. A staff report presented to Take a walk for United Way Annual campaign kicks off Sept. 9 DURHAM —The United Way of Ajax-Pickering is en- couraging local residents to lace up their sneakers and hit the road Sunday, Sept. 9 as the organization kicks off its 2001 fund-raising campaign. This year’s campaign gets under way with the Second An- nual Community Power Chal- lenge, a run/walk event along the waterfront. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” said United Way execu- tive director Edna Klazek, not- ing participants can take part in a timed five- or 10-kilometre run or a seven-kilometre walk. The routes vary for each event. Ms. Klazek said participants can either raise pledges or pay a $10 fee to take part. The indi- vidual who raises the most money will receive a television.

He said several residents have called police asking why there was so much police activity at the foot of Liverpool Road. Sergeant Malik would not be more specific on what the dive team was looking for, but said a police investigation involves both proving and eliminating informa- tion, suggesting police were at the bay for the latter. “It’s an elimination process PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Dolphins sweep The truth about Eagles in football cats and dogs...

Wednesday was orientation day at the Durham District School Board for some 250 teachers, who were among the 425 educators hired by the board so far for the coming year. Staff development co-ordinator Mark Joel said about 230 of the hires are new to the profession. The teachers received words of wel- come and support from board staff and teacher representatives at the education centre in Whitby. “I’m excited,” said Jason Motter- shead, a first-year teacher and science specialist who will teach Grade 7 at S.A. Cawker Public School in Port Perry. “I’m a little bit nervous, but I’m pretty confident.” Mr. Mottershead grew up in Bramp- ton and said he’s happy to be teaching in north Durham. “I was looking for a little bit of a smaller community,” he said. “I just think it offers different opportunities and advantages.” At the other end of the spectrum, new teacher Jaime Perkins will be in the big city, Oshawa, this year. Ms. Perkins grew up in Toronto and will be teaching grades 9 and 10 students, “mostly sci- ence”, at Central Collegiate Institute. “Oh, of course,” she replied when asked if she was nervous. Ms. Perkins said she plans to “enjoy it and get as much enthusiasm as I can out of my stu- dents” this year. After roughly five years of teaching, Jacqueline Ross said she still feels excit- ed at the start of school. Tuesday morn- ing will find her teaching Grade 7 and French at Jack Miner Public School in Whitby. “There’s always anticipation and ex- citement at the beginning of the new year,” said Ms. Ross. “I’m just like a kid starting a new year. You always have those butterflies in your stomach.” Oshawa resident Eileen Putnam’s teaching career will begin at Exeter High School in Ajax, teaching Grade 9 and two Grade 12 classes. “I’m really excited, but not nervous,” she said. “I feel really comfortable (teaching).” Education director Grant Yeo asked first-year teachers to raise their hands and roughly half of the group did so. He pointed out that starting a teaching ca- reer can be a traumatic experience, with new teachers having “idealistic, and in some cases, unrealistic expectations” and experiencing loneliness. Every edu- cator went through the same thing, said Mr. Yeo. “You’ll need energy and enthusiasm and a sense of humour and you will be exhausted...” he said. “Realize that al- though you may feel lonely, you are not alone... Don’t be reticent in asking for advice; you’re not expected to know everything.” Among the speakers to welcome the teachers and offer support were local El- ementary Teachers’ Federation of On- tario representative Anna Houston, On- tario Secondary School Teachers’Feder- ation representative Peter Tumey, and Mr. Joel. “How many of you have had the dream?” Mr. Joel asked the teachers. After a slight pause and a few chuck- les, he explained the dream is unique to new teachers, who often have a night- mare that they wake up late on the first day of school or face a similar crisis. “My fiancée is teaching in Oshawa and she had the dream this morning,” laughed Mr. Mottershead during an in- terview.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., fol- lowed by the walk at 9:30 a.m. and the run at 10 a.m. Ms. Klazek said teams and individ- uals are encouraged to take part and said everyone will receive a certificate of participation. In addition to the walking and running, the fund-raising goal for the organization’s annual campaign will be announced at the event. Last year’s goal was $1,350,000.

Yeo says budget concerns force delay in hiring staff BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —A public school board trustee was stunned to learn Monday night that his board-ap- proved resolution has not been car- ried out by staff. Scugog Trustee Martin Dem- mers wants the business depart- ment to produce quarter- ly budget updates so trustees can track expen- ditures in relation to the approved budget. Earlier in the year the Durham District School Board planned to hire two people who, among their duties, would help produce the reports. But that was before this year’s budget was passed in June, which included cuts to central administration and the use of almost $2 million in reserves. The use of reserves means the board is already in a budget short- fall position for next year. Staff next month will make a recom- mendation of where permanent cuts can be made. Trustee Demmers wanted to make the resolution a bylaw at Monday night’s board meeting, noting he was looking forward to the first quarterly report. That’s when business superintendent Ron Trbovich broke the news. “We will be unable to do that work on a quarterly basis and we will be unable to do that unless we have two financial analysts,” he said. Education director Grant Yeo said “he cannot in all good con- science” hire two people when there’s already a budget deficit for next year, and when they may be let go when trustees consider the budget re- duction plan. Trustee Demmers said when trustees approve a resolution it must be carried out. “It’s not a matter of whether we’re going to do it or not do it,” he told the board. Trustee Demmers agreed to wait until Oc- tober to discuss the two positions, but in an in- terview said he was surprised the resolution wasn’t carried out. “I’m really surprised that when a resolu- tion is passed by the board our staff would backtrack on it,” Trustee Demmers said. “I don’t think that’s their intention. “I can see the predicament we’re in. However we have over 5,000 businesses in Durham Region, maybe more, and I can guarantee you that every one has quarterly reports.” Trustee Demmers said he be- lieves “everything is in place” at the board now to produce the re- ports “at the touch of a button”. When told Mr. Trbovich had said in an interview that was not the case, Trustee Demmers agreed “his department is pretty lean”. In an interview Mr. Yeo said some motions passed during the budget process conflicted with one another, such as spending an addi- tional $500,000 on educational as- sistants while calling for a bal- anced budget this year and in the future. He said it was his decision not to hire the two staffers, noting the issue will be reviewed in October.

Committee members voted to recommend to council that staff be autho- rized to proceed with a re- quest for proposal (RFP) for a new Regional head- quarters as well as “any other facilities” that may be deemed appropriate. The motion stipulated the new facility should be situated on the land owned by the Region at Rossland Road and Garden Street in Whit- by, home of the current headquarters. “I want a Regional head- quarters,” Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle said in an interview, noting if it makes financial sense to build a new courthouse in conjunc- tion with a new headquar- ters, “so be it”. However, he added, “I’m skeptical as to whether we can do a courthouse and a Regional headquarters on that site. It’s just not large enough.” For years the Province has discussed building a new courthouse in Durham to consolidate courtrooms, prisoner handling and judi- ciary functions into one specialized high-security facility. Currently court- house locations are frag- mented at six sites across the Region and the facilities will not be able to meet fu- ture population and case- load demand. The original motion that came forward Wednesday only called for an RFP for a new administrative build- ing. But, Brock Mayor Terry Clayton persuaded his colleagues to broaden the motion to include any other facilities that may be deemed appropriate. “I don’t think we should restrict it,” he said. “This indicates we’re considering only the Regional head- quarters.” The motion to begin an RFP was passed following an in-camera delegation from the consulting firm of Marshall Macklin Mon- aghan Ltd. in which repre- sentatives presented a pro- posal to councillors on the Regional administrative headquarters. Durham council will still have to approve the motion.

He noted OPG is hoping to begin restarting the A- side reactors at the end of March 2002. PICKERING from page 1 New HQ courting justice facility?

Mr. Jones, a 28-year-old security supervisor at the Metro East Trade Centre in Pickering, was walking to his Twilley Lane home in Ajax on Feb. 4, when he was ambushed, chased onto Pickering Beach Road, shot sev- eral times and left for dead.

My vote for next year is each and every one of the doctors, nurses, techni- cians, paramedics and all the other staff at our hospital, Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering. Having recently had the misfortune of suffering a heart attack, I had plenty of time and opportunity to assess our hospi- tal efficiency whilst lying in the hospital. The care and attention I received really impressed me. We know all about med- ical cutbacks, but, in the various sections of the hospital where I spent time, the staff was extremely professional and I will always be forever grateful I am able to write this letter mainly due to their ministrations. So, bless you all from one very appre- ciative and satisfied patient. Frank R.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Blame it on our long hot summer. Blame it on video games, television shows, movies or music. Blame it on the influence emanating from Toron- to. Whatever its cause, Durham Re- gional Police feel they have the an- swer to the sudden explosion of ran- dom street violence in our region. They’ve formed a 12-officer task force, specifically to eliminate these punks from our city and town streets. These aren’t your normal gangs, not the way we typically understand the term. Usually, youth gangs are or- ganized along ethnic and economic lines; they involve teens or twenty- somethings from the bottom of the economic scale who feel they have nothing left to lose. They usually have an explicit hier- archy and are into crime for the long haul. This summer alone, an incredible, troubling trend is occurring, especial- ly in Ajax and Pickering, of bands of young thugs mercilessly beating and robbing innocent people. It’s unprecedented in Durham for its savagery, for the random way it’s occurring and for the seek-and-de- stroy-and-runaway nature of the crimes themselves. A typical attack sees a group of up to 20 teens roaming the streets in search of prey. Once spotted, the young criminals attack with the intent of robbing the unsuspecting victim of cash, jewelry, cellphones, Walkmans and any other valuables. The swarm- ings typically happen between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. and tend to happen off the main track on city side streets, schoolyards and parks. The only solace victims and police have so far is that no knives or guns have been used in these hit-and-runs. Then again the savage swarming and beating death in 1999 of Toronto’s Matti Baranovski didn’t involve weapons either but that didn’t save the 15-year-old. That of course is the concern. As the lust for violence continues unabat- ed it wouldn’t take much for a death to happen. It’s clear the robbery aspect is a secondary concern here. In fact, these gang members have been de- scribed by police as bored middle- class kids with nothing else to keep them occupied. Their idea of a fun evening is to go out and pound somebody into submis- sion. It’s hard to conceive of a mind that considers this a night out, but the sad fact is that it is happening and often. Police will do their level best to put a stop to this behaviour and we can only wish them luck. If you have any information on these street thugs, call detectives at 905-683-9100, ext. 2550 or Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477. We can’t allow our streets to become hostage to a bunch of punks.

Our members of provincial parliament took that old saying to the bank, literally, after they agreed to what could amount to a 37-per cent pay increase. Just last fall, MPPs, on the verge of accepting — depending on who you talk to — raises that went all the way up to 41 per cent, turned tail and ran. The massive public outcry frightened them away from ap- proving a huge raise. Oh, but what a difference a year makes. In that 10-month span, MPPs have seen local and regional councils, and most critically, federal MPs hike their own pay by leaps and bounds. Queen’s Park had appointed an integrity commissioner, former judge Gregory Evans, to independently establish a fair in- crease. This week, Mr. Evans came through with his report. His ad- vice is that MPPs get an immediate three-per cent increase this year and each year until the next election, likely in 2003. Then, wait for it, they’ll get a massive 25-per cent hike. At least it’s a down-the-road raise and will only go to those who actually win in the next election. But it seems pretty steep just the same. MPs, after all, gave themselves a one-time 22-per cent jump. But then again, MPs started farther ahead on the pay scale. In the end, the only question that begs an answer is this: Is it fair? What should an MPP get paid? Clearly the $78,000 annual salary, some $50,000 per year behind their Ottawa counter- parts, is not reasonable. Now, within two to three years, MPPs will receive $106,500, still less than what many make in the army of senior civil servants across Ontario. If school board superintendents, college presidents, chiefs of police, hospital administrators and city solicitors and man- agers deserve $100,000-plus each year, shouldn’t those who make the laws they all follow receive as much in compensa- tion? After going more than a decade without a raise, it was clear long-serving MPPs would have to receive something. No method for pay compensation is perfect and there will be howls of protest over this one, but at least it’s now done. With any luck we won’t have to hear about or talk about the pay of any of our politicians for many years to come. They’re all well taken care of now — let’s just make sure they earn it. Do they really deserve 35 per cent? Let’s hope MPPs’raise finally puts an end to ongoing pay hikes for elected officials NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 2, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM –– In March 1987, a Durham Region newspaper ran a story of a young woman who was trying to find a home for an aban- doned puppy. As she returned the calls of 200 readers who responded to the article, the plight of dogs in similar straits played on the res- cuer’s mind and the idea for The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS) was formed. TAGS founder, Kathy Asling of Blackstock, is still the pulse of the charitable organization that relies on about 20 volunteers to rescue and foster dogs until homes can be found for them. But, in the 14 years since TAGS was formed, Ms. Asling admits she finds herself in- creasingly discouraged by the sys- tem that still sees more than 1,000 animals euthanized by Durham shelters every year. “There are still many issues that need to be addressed pertaining to animal control facilities in the Durham area,” says Ms. Asling, who suggests more could be done to enhance co-operation between some shelters and rescue groups like TAGS. She also ques- tions policies, which, she believes, lead to higher euthanasia rates than necessary in some parts of the re- gion. While shelters in Clarington and Scugog (which also serves Uxbridge) boast high adoption rates, animals in other parts of Durham face a less optimistic fate if they are admitted to the local shelter. The Pickering, Ajax, Whitby (PAW) Animal Control Centre has the highest budget of any animal services shelter in Durham Region with three municipalities sharing the more than $609,000 annual op- erations budget; more than double the next highest-funded shelter. Al- though it admits an average num- ber of animals seen in regional shelters, it has the worst adoption record and the highest kill rate re- ported by all of Durham’s shelters. In 2000, almost half the dogs and more than three-quarters of the cats taken into PAW were euthanized. One PAW policy, not to adopt out dogs over the age of three years, is very likely a contributing factor to the shelter’s record, sug- gests Ms. Asling, who notes PAW is the only shelter in Durham Re- gion with this policy. “The majority of dogs we adopt out are over three years,” says the TAGS director, who adds, “When- ever we get calls, we are always sending (callers) to check animal control facilities first. The feedback we get is PAW never has anything for adoption.” PAW Supervisor Sylvie Koch says the shelter is responding to the demands of the public. “People don’t want animals over three,” she says. “Generally speaking animals over three don’t go up for adoption. We don’t have that clientele. We try things out and do what works.” Ms. Koch adds, “I don’t know why it (the adoption rate) is lower” than other Durham shelters. “I can’t an- swer that.” At the Oshawa Animal Services, manager Jason Irani reports older dogs are popular, especially with seniors who don’t want to get an animal that might outlive them. “A nine-year-old dog can still have a lot of life left,” he notes. In the past, the Oshawa shelter has also come under scrutiny for its facility’s operations. In the fall of 1999 and the winter of 2000, two newspaper stories revealed a lack of accountability at the shelter where no records were being kept on the fate of animals admitted, or even how many were impounded. The shelter’s euthanasia method was criticized at the time by some local animal activists who suggest- ed it was outdated and cruel to cats, which were gassed using methods considered antiquated. Today, things are changing at the shelter, says Mr. Irani, who was hired since the articles ran. While the shelter’s adoption rate is still quite low and its euthanasia rate high in comparison to neighbour- ing communities such as Claring- ton and Scugog, Mr. Irani notes records are now kept of all animals coming into and leaving the shelter. Mr. Irani notes Oshawa now se- dates cats before gassing them and a mixture of gas and oxygen, con- sidered more humane, is now being used. As well, he says, proactive ef- forts are being made to improve the adoption rate and reduce the death statistics including an annual open house, more contact with rescue groups and the use of free in-store space provided by animal supply retailer, PetSmart. There, groups can take animals in need of adop- tion to the store where the public has better access to them. Paul- mac’s Pet Foods Plus in Port Perry provides the same service for the Uxbridge-Scugog shelter. “It’s like having two shelters,” says Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Control Officer Vickie McWhirter. She attributes the high adoption rate at the Port Perry facility to partnerships with the store and local media outlets. “We have so many ways of adopting pets out. It’s hectic but it works well.” If there is one shelter that could serve as the model for the rest, it would be Clarington’s, says Ms. Asling, who notes standards of care there are the highest in Durham. “Clarington has a very caring staff. It’s definitely the best.” That municipality has another advantage over many of the other shelters because it is inviting to people looking to adopt a pet. It’s bright and cheerful and that en- courages people to visit, says Ms. Asling. “Most people, when we direct them to shelters, they don’t want to go there. They think of it as a place dogs go to die. Even if they choose one, they have to face the reality the others will probably be killed. “Many shelters are dark and very dreary,” she adds, noting some municipalities need to consider up- dating their facilities and the image that goes with it. As well, she sug- gests, if shelters were more open to the rescue groups’ efforts, volun- teers could come in and work with the dogs to make some more adopt- able. She says municipalities need to rethink how the animal shelters are operated. While there is a need for enforcement in animal control, there is also a need for people trained in animal care, she sug- gests, noting a background in law enforcement is the primary qualifi- cation for shelter employees, not animal care training. There is a need for employees with both skills, she suggests. Andrea Stephenson of Paulmac's Pet Store in Port Perry, holds Peaches, a female longhair cat. The store provides space for the Uxbridge- Scugog animal shelter, to give the community better access to the animals in need of adop- tion.

Michelle McPeak BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —Regional officials are preparing to host a delegation of representatives from the Ukraine in what will be the second trade mis- sion between Durham and the City of Dnipropetrovsk. A group of roughly 10 officials from Dnipropetrovsk will be in Durham from Oct. 4 to 11 to meet with municipal and business lead- ers. “They will visit every municipal- ity in Durham Region and see everything from General Motors to our farming operations and our re- tail outlets,” said Durham Chairman Roger Anderson who led a contin- gent of local officials on a 12-day trade mission to Dnipropetrovsk in late April 2000 as part of a twinning initiative. However, he admitted the re- sults of that excur- sion haven’t been as positive as was hoped. “We haven’t really seen a lot come out of it yet,” Mr. Ander- son said in a re- cent interview. “Part of our trip was exploratory.” He’s hopeful Ukrainian offi- cials will identify during their stay local businesses that may be able to create partner- ships with compa- nies in Europe. Durham coun- cil voted in March 2000 in favour of footing a $32,000 bill to send three politicians — Mr. Anderson, Os- hawa Councillor Bob Boychyn and former Clarington Councillor Mary Novak — and five senior staff mem- bers on the trade trip. Durham offi- cials were to join about a dozen community repre- sentatives and business leaders on the mission. But, the only business representa- tive who attended was Des New- man, the former Whitby mayor and president of Cametoid Limited. It was Mr. Newman who first pitched the idea of twinning with Dnipropetrovsk. Norm Leigh, Durham Region’s manager of economic development, is hopeful more business partner- ships will be created during the up- coming visit. He noted the Region has recently completed an update of its strategic alliance program, which provides information on local busi- nesses and the types of partnerships they’re interested in pursuing. “We think with that information (Ukrainian officials) should be able to determine what our companies here are looking for,” Mr. Leigh said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to find some matches.” As for Durham’s excursion to the Ukraine, Mr. Leigh confirmed there weren’t many spinoffs for local companies. He added he’s hoping to arrange meetings between local businesses and the visitors this fall to discuss the possibility of local participation in Ukrainian road construction and waste management projects. The mayor of Dnipropetrovsk is scheduled to address Regional council Oct. 10.

FREE ADMISSION Volunteering, social clubs make retirement enjoyable for region’s older adults BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM ––The word retirement has taken on a far different meaning than it used to have. And for Durham’s older adults, many of whom remain youthful and vital, that means plenty of time for socializing and volunteering. There are plenty of opportunities to do both locally. Lynda Lawson, of Whitby Community Care, says her organization relies heavily on retired adults to provide volunteer ser- vices such as Meals on Wheels, transporta- tion for medical appointments, home help and maintenance, and friendly visiting and telephone reassurance programs. “We hear from some of them that the reason they volunteer is that, someday, they may need our services,” says Ms. Lawson, noting the benefits of volunteer- ing are evident to both the volunteer and the recipient. “It definitely makes (volunteers) feel good about doing something,” she says. “And, for a lot of our clients, you don’t do a great deal for them, but it means so much. “We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without” volunteers, says Ms. Lawson, noting those who do choose to volunteer in their community can essentially make their own schedule. “We tend to be very flexible in terms of working around their schedules,” she says. Community Care, which runs under the umbrella Durham Region Community Care Association, has offices in each area of the region. Volunteer work isn’t the only activity available to Durham’s older adult set. Area seniors’ centres, located in a number of Durham municipalities, offer a wide range of social, physical and entertainment activ- ities.

Tournament, trophy fit for a great contributor in Pickering PICKERING —The South Pick- ering Lawn Bowling Club needed a major honour for one of its major founders, who also served time as the organization’s president. And so, the club felt it was only ap- propriate to rename an annual tourna- ment and trophy after the late Rene Li- zotte, along with dedicating one of its soon-to-be-built sun shelters in her name. Ms. Lizotte was instrumental in organizing meetings with City of Pick- ering officials in 1993 that eventually led to the club’s present location, greens and clubhouse. Her daughter and son-in-law, Chris and Bill Cook, were on hand for a re- cent dedication ceremony and also made a donation to the club in Ms. Li- zotte’s name.

Pickering senior completes 120-km fund-raising trek in the Netherlands BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Never judge a person until you’ve walked a kilometre, or 120, in their shoes. Well, last month 67-year-old Lorraine Thackeray travelled all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to tackle a 120-km trek. The Pickering resident of 37 years was in the city of Ni- jmegen, in the eastern Nether- lands, to take part in the ‘De 4 Daagse’, a four-day walk consid- ered to be the largest of its kind in the world. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Ms. Thacker- ay. “And, one of the most emo- tional times of my life.” Ms. Thackeray walked 30 kilometres a day from July 17 to 20, hitting the route from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with breaks to stretch every hour and a chance to sit down every two. Despite rain three of the four days and blisters on all her toes, support from the local townspeo- ple through each leg of the walk kept her going. “Seeing all the people out to cheer you on, it’s just incredible,” she said. “You never walk alone and I cried through every town.” The De 4 Daagse has been a part of Dutch culture since 1909 when the military used to walk with 10-kilogram backpacks through the countryside. Over the next 85 years the people made the walk their own, using it to collect donations for local chari- ties and other causes. Those par- ticipating now join groups walk- ing 30, 40, or 50 kilometres a day, depending on their age. Ms. Thackeray said 40,000 people began the walk this year, with 35,000 finishing the entire four days, including three partic- ipants over 80 years old. Ms. Thackeray started train- ing six weeks before her trip, walking two hours each weekday and four on the weekends. How- ever, she is no stranger to long walks, having taken part in sever- al charity events around Picker- ing, including walking 55 streets every year for the Canadian Can- cer Society. “If there’s somewhere to walk, people find my name,” she said. Ms. Thackeray helped raise $2,500 for a Dutch hospital and received the ‘four day marches cross medal’ from the Nether- lands’ queen. She plans to go back and take part again in two years, and if successful, the queen will add a crown to the medal. “I’m proud of this,” she said of finishing the walk. “I accom- plished it; come hell or high water, I did it.” A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 2, 2001 Just the fax: 905-683-7363 Long walk a Dutch treat Lorraine Thackeray is in fine form while out for a stroll in Pickering.

The Herongate Barn Dinner The- atre presents ‘The Pinchpenny Phantom of the Opera’ which de- buts Friday, Sept. 7 and runs until Nov. 3. Written by Dave Reiser and Jack Sharkey, the play follows the tale of Gaston, proprietor and star tenor of a tiny and tacky opera house. Only able to afford a chorus of two (Pristine and Bubby) and one guest soprano per opera, the guest sopranos keep succumbing to ghastly fates at the hands of the phantom.

With 744 stu- dents, the school is 59 per cent over capacity. Coun. Pickles noted his daugh- ter attends the school and will be starting Grade 4 there next week. He also said several other parents in the community have expressed their concerns to him. “I sought the support of (Pick- ering) council because this is an urgent concern of our residents and teachers and we support their request that the (Durham District School Board) approve an 11- classroom ex- pansion at the school to replace these portables,” he said. Members of the SCC told trustees in June they are seeking a place in the board’s next ac- commodation plan. The board is expected to un- veil a new five- year accommo- dation plan in the fall, which will set the course for building new schools and addi- tions to existing ones. School communities from across Durham have been lobbying to get on the list so their needs can be ad- dressed. Valley Farm SCC chairman Michele Semotiuk reported the 11 portables have been on the school grounds since 1997 and added there’s no relief in sight. “We want to be high on the (school board’s) list,” she said re- cently, noting there are a host of reasons why parents are con- cerned about the number of porta- bles on site, including students’ and teachers’ safety and security, crowded conditions, curriculum restrictions, lost time in travelling to the main building, lack of water and washroom facilities and in- creased allergic reactions. Jack Massie, superintendent of facilities services for the board, said the Valley Farm property is being considered for the next ac- commodation plan. “We’re currently in the process of developing (the plan). It will be going to the trustees early into the new school year, hopefully in September,” he said Tuesday, not- ing at that point board officials will meet with the various school communities to help finalize the accommodation plan later this year. “We are looking at Valley Farm. It’s hard to indicate at this particular point in time where it will fit into the plan because we have other needs that are equally as important and the dollars will definitely drive how much of the plan we are able to accomplish,” Mr. Massie explained, noting “some of those dollars will be de- rived through closures... we still have a way to go to finalize our positions.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 2, 2001 PAGE 15 A/P City asks school board for more room to move MICHELE SEMOTIUK ‘We want to be high on the school board’s list.’ Store Hours: Mon.-Wed. 10-6 Thurs.-Fri. 10-9 Sat. 9-5 OPEN SUNDAYS 12 - 5 SEPT.

The tykes won their home opener with a 32-6 win. The Dolphins were never in dan- ger after putting the first touchdown on the board in the first quarter. Re- ceiver Darnell Brown took a slant pass from quarterback Adam Konkle and ran 45 yards into the end zone for the major. Etobicoke tied the score later in the quarter, but Ajax-Picker- ing took a 12-6 lead into the locker room after a second-quarter touch- down by running back Myles Daly. The Dolphins came out strong in the third quarter with a touchdown by fullback Jesse Kelly. Daly dominated the fourth quarter with two more touchdowns to seal the victory. Defensive stars of the game were linebacker Derek Smith and corner- back Pat Charron. Brown and Kelly were the offensive stars. In the atom game, the Dolphins posted a resounding 46-0 victory over Etobicoke. In an intense defensive effort, the Dolphins received outstanding play from defensive back Travis Thomas, who had two interceptions, including one for a touchdown. Linebacker Lucas Labelle and the defensive line dominated the game from beginning to end. Offensively, quarterback Robert Spagnola led the way with three touchdowns. Mark Fedosen and Cecil Cherrie also had major scores and placekicker Jordan McLaughlin chipped in with 10 points. Offensive lineman Kent Williamson supplied a strong game. The Dolphins peewees made it the trifecta for the home team on the day, posting a 47-6 victory over the Etobi- coke Eagles in a game dominated by Ajax-Pickering from start to finish. Fullback Abbey Olusaga, tight end Chris Gavin and Shanic Thomas each scored a pair of touchdowns, while Jahmoy Tyrell scored one. Dan West and Troy Ruddock each added con- versions. Dolphins feast on Eagles Ajax golfer making noise at junior championships Axle Riley good enough for sixth through first two rounds AJAX —With the lead changing hands through the course of two rounds of play at the American Junior Golf Association Fu- turelinks Junior Championships, a number of golfers were within striking distance of the boys’ lead heading into the final 18 holes. The final rounds in the boys’and girls’di- visions, at Deer Creek Golf Club in Ajax, were played Friday. The results weren’t available at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. Jesse Dixon of Ann Arbor, Michigan fired a two-under-par 69 Thursday to erase a four-shot first-round deficit and climb atop the leaderboard in the boys’division after 36 holes. Dixon took the lead from Brad Moul- ton of Orangeville who led after the first day with a 68. He fell to fourth place, five strokes off the pace, after carding a second- round 78. Ajax’s Axle Riley sits in sixth place, seven shots off the pace after shooting a 73 on Thursday to go with an opening-round 75. Dixon found trouble early in the second round after carding a double-bogey on the first hole and missing the green with his tee shot on the 209-yard, par-three second hole. However, he was able to save par at the sec- ond and got back on track for the rest of the round. In the girls’ division, Seema Sadekar, of Stouffville, led the pack after two rounds, shooting a second-round 77. The AJGA Futurelinks event featured 99 of the top junior golfers from across the U.S. and Canada, including 65 players from On- tario. • Grade 1 to OAC • Individualized Program • Low Student/Teacher Ratio • Complete Assessment Enroll now for fall programs 420-9930 Ajax/Pickering 1885 Glenanna Rd.

Transport Canada will preserve approximately 2,251 hectares (5,562 acres) of the Oak Ridges Moraine located on the northern portion of the federally owned Pickering Lands Site. In addition, Transport Canada will preserve another 800 hectares (2,000 acres) along the western boundary for the purpose of an alter- nate Rouge Park Corridor. The Rouge Park North Management Plan envisions a contiguous green space corridor extending from Lake Ontario northward to the Oak Ridges Moraine. Transport Canada’s Green Space Project Team is exploring the future stewardship and manage- ment of these lands and is seeking input from residents, businesses in the public and private sectors, and community organizations. We invite you to come to learn more about this exciting project. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
