Provincial tax cuts lauded Durham chambers, board of trade encouraged by Province’s move BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham business leaders are reacting positively to the Province’s lat- est attempt at stimulating the economy, hit hard by last month’s terrorist attacks in the U.S. Premier Mike Harris an- nounced Monday the Province is accelerating a number of tax cuts that were originally planned for Jan. 1, including reductions to personal income, capital and corporate taxes. Effective Oct. 1, the general corporate income tax rate was cut from 14 to 12.5 per cent, the manufacturing and pro- cessing rate dropped from 12 to 11 per cent, the small busi- ness rate is now at six from 6.5, and a $5-million deduction from taxable paid-up capital — the first step in eliminating capital tax — will be available. In addition, the personal in- come tax cuts take effect im- mediately, resulting in first- and middle-tax rates of 6.16 and 9.22 per cent, respectively. “As far as business is con- cerned this is the right move,” said Ajax and Pickering Board of Trade president Roger Alexander. “Certainly (the tax cuts) will help to offset the ef- fects of an already stagnating economy.” Terry Souch, president of the Whitby Chamber of Com- merce, also expressed support. “We are supportive of the premier’s intention of immedi- ate implementation of the tax cuts originally intended for January 2002,” he said. “Al- though only three months early, this should help stimu- late local consumer demand and is a good boost for the economy at this time.” In his announcement, the premier stressed the impor- tance of the timing of the latest cuts. “While some have said that we should not proceed with these tax cuts in light of recent events, I believe that they are more important than ever be- Police now on patrol at Pickering nuclear site Pickering couple aid police in capturing robbery suspect Shelves bare at Pickering food bank St. Paul’s-on-the-Hill kicks off annual campaign to feed the hungry tomorrow DURHAM —The St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Communi- ty Food Bank of Ajax and Pickering begins its Thanks- giving Food Drive tomorrow.

BOB MALCOLMSON ‘This should settle some nerves...’ PICKERING —Durham Regional Police are patrolling the grounds at the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station. “They have a site presence,” OPG spokesman Ted Gruetzner confirmed last week. “It’s ongo- ing at the time being. I can’t be specific because of federal regu- lations.” Mr. Gruetzner said having police on site is part of “co-op- erative talks we had with securi- ty agencies, the police and groups that look after security”. Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at the Pickering station, said he could not dis- close who is paying the police. “We’re working with the fed- eral, provincial and municipal security authorities to ensure the security of the plant. Who’s pay- ing, we’re not a liberty to say,” he said. Last Thursday, the Durham police were called to the station around 3 p.m. after two men were spotted by a security guard inside the security gate near the shoreline. The police helicopter, ‘Air 1’, was called in but the men disappeared and could not be located by officers, according to police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. The men were de- scribed as white with dark hair. Mr. Gruetzner said the po- lice “will be around, but it’s not because of anything specific. They have a presence on site.” Since the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, there’s been an “increased pres- ence,” he added.

See BUSINESS page 5 PICKERING —A shiver- ing robbery suspect who spent the night outdoors showed up at a rural residence early yester- day asking the owner to call him a cab. The man got a ride in the back of a police car instead. Durham Regional Police said the man was freezing cold and appeared to have been out all night when he was found in the yard of a home on 7th Con- cession, between Sideline 22 and Brock Road, at about 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 2. He asked the couple at the house to call him a taxi, saying he needed a ride to Toronto. In- stead, they decided to call 911, said Sergeant Paul Malik. “The (police) call-taker real- ized there were still several out- standing suspects from an earli- er armed robbery and police chase in the area and smartly sent an unmarked detective’s car to pick the man up,” said Sgt. Malik. He was arrested without in- cident and turned over to York Regional Police. Late Monday,York Regional Police had pursued a stolen van carrying armed robbery sus- pects from Markham to Picker- ing, where the vehicle was ditched on Hwy. 7, west of Brock Road, and the occupants fled on foot. A 13-year-old boy was ar- rested shortly after, but the oth- ers disappeared into fields and eluded officers, despite an in- tensive ground and air search that included ‘Air 2’, the York police helicopter, along with Durham and York canine units and other officers. Andrew Christie, 20, and the 13-year-old, who cannot be named under the Young Of- fenders Act, are both Scarbor- ough residents and charged with disguise with intent, use of an imitation firearm, robbery, and possession of stolen prop- erty. York Regional Police are still looking for three male sus- pects between 14 and 17 years old. Police say one is white, an- other is black and the other is Asian. Anyone with any informa- tion can call York police at 905- 881-1221 ext. 7541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Durham public board weighs in after U.S. attacks, Catholic board decision expected next week BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Overseas trips by Durham public school students are being discouraged for the foreseeable future, while trips in Canada and North America will be reviewed. Following Monday night’s standing committee meeting, Grant Yeo, educa- tion director of the Durham District School Board, in an interview said while the final decision rests with school principals, they have been look- ing for direction from the top. “The principals came to us and said we should deal with it as a board,” he said. “So our advice at this point is no overseas (travel). That doesn’t mean forever. Things could change and maybe they will.” The issue now, he told trustees, is to determine if refunds are available from travel companies in cases where trips have been booked and money paid out by students. Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford at Monday’s meeting said a planned trip to Thailand this year by Pickering High School students saw pupils raise $3,000, half of the money required for the trip, which is non-re- fundable. “I know one student in particular who can’t afford to lose $3,000,” said Trustee Crawford. “What, if anything, can we do to help out the students?” Mr. Yeo said students would be looked at “on an individual basis in re- gard to refunds. “We are going to try (and recover money) if there are people out of money.” Pickering High School principal Al Monks said the trip to Thailand was one of a number of overseas trips that had been planned. Four senior students have done extensive preparation and planning for the Thailand trip as part of an international co-operative education program that began in Durham this year, he said. They were to leave in February and spend five months in Thailand, mainly teaching English to elementary students. “There’s a significant amount of money that has been paid to that trip,” said Mr. Monks. He said the school “has more ques- tions than answers at this point” but will do whatever it can to help the stu- dents recover as much money as possi- ble. About 20 students were going on a trip to Spain that has also been can- celled, said Mr. Monks, with each hav- ing made a payment of roughly $200. He said the school can, however, apply to the board for a band trip by train to Halifax to continue as planned. Trips are being cancelled or plan- ning has ceased at public schools across the region. At Uxbridge Sec- ondary School, two trips, including one to Hawaii, have been cancelled, said vice-principal Llewellyn Jones. In Oshawa, at R.S. McLaughlin Colle- giate & Vocational institute, principal Sandra Riches said staff had made ini- tial planning inquiries about trips but that process has stopped. Mr. Yeo in the interview said the concern is not necessarily that a jet will again be hijacked, but that U.S. actions against terrorists might take place while staff and students are away, stranding them in another part of the world. The Durham Catholic District School Board has placed a moratorium on the approval of new trips and is ex- pected to make an announcement on school trips next week.

Read up at durhamregion.com Principals make final decision, but school board discourages overseas trips Durham house sales soar in August DURHAM —House sales in Durham jumped almost 35 per cent in August from the same period a year ago, and even recent world events don’t seem to be impacting the market too much, suggests the Greater Toron- to Home Builder’s Association. Durham led the Greater Toronto Area to a strong showing in August with house and condominium sales totalling 314, compared to only 233 in the same month in 2000. Other com- munities in the GTA also experienced growth, but not as substantial as Durham. In mid-September, following news about terrorist attacks in the United States, sales did slow temporarily, re- ported Patrick O’Hanlon, the associa- tion’s president. However, he added, sales have already begun to pick up again. September results will be avail- able in mid-October. Dial 911 — but only in an emergency DURHAM —The Durham Region 911 Centre is reminding local residents that dialling 911 is for emergencies only. Durham operators report they are continuing to receive calls for lost wal- lets, noise complaints and stray ani- mals. Such calls, officials note, tie up lines that may be needed by someone who is in an emergency. As well, if you call 911 by accident, do not hang up. Wait on the line and ex- plain your mistake to an operator. If not, emergency services will respond to homes under the assumption someone is in need of assistance, but unable to speak. For police-related non-emergencies, call 905-683-9100 in Ajax and Picker- ing. SPECIALSALE Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser or flyers call Circulation at 683-5117.

Trustee denied in bid to discuss letter Board committee rules issue a ‘personal’matter with director BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Public school board trustees voted in private Monday night to distance themselves from a letter one of their colleagues wrote to the educa- tion director. Martin Demmers, Scugog trustee on the Durham District School Board, is pressing for quarterly staff budget re- ports so trustees can track board spend- ing. The previous board of trustees in 2000 was promised the reports and the current board voted to receive the re- ports earlier this year. In a letter to education director Grant Yeo, Trustee Demmers asks him to con- firm in writing by Sept. 28 “that delivery of this report will commence immedi- ately”. Trustee Demmers wanted his let- ter on the public portion of Monday’s standing committee agenda. He has also written a second letter to facilities su- perintendent Jack Massie, requesting in- formation on each school as the board prepares a new accommodation plan. But standing committee chairman Nancy Loraine, the Brock-Uxbridge trustee, said the letters were not ad- dressed to the board but to individual staff members and were not suitable for the public agenda. Trustee Demmers disputed that claim. “All this information is public infor- mation, it comes from public agendas and you can’t suppress it,” he said. “There is no attempt to suppress,” replied Trustee Loraine. “There are statements in that letter; it’s a personal letter.” She called a recess so trustees could discuss the letter’s inclusion on the pub- lic agenda. Trustees Demmers, Susan Shetler (Oshawa) and Paul Crawford (Pickering) did not take part, remaining in the board chamber. When trustees emerged, they voted to adopt the agenda as it stood, without the letter. Whitby Trustee and board chairman Elizabeth Roy stated the board of trustees had decided the letter “repre- sents the opinion of one trustee... and the board has voted to disassociate itself from the letter”. The letter is to be discussed by the board’s education finance committee, chaired by Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper and on which all trustees sit. In a recent interview, Mr. Yeo said he thought it was made quite clear to trustees why two staff people required to do the work had not been hired as planned. Staff made roughly $3 million in cuts and used about $2.3 million in reserves to balance this year’s budget and will soon bring forward a budget reduction plan calling for more cuts so reserves don’t have to be used next year. “We can’t add and cut at the same time,” Mr. Yeo said at the time. “I guess I’m a bit confused as to what (Trustee Demmers) doesn’t understand.” GRANT YEO ‘We can’t add and cut at the same time.’ AJAX NEWEST PUB The Portly Piper 235 Bayly St. W., Ajax 905-426-9535 October 4th-7th Live Entertainment THURSDAY NIGHT – “DEUCE” FRI. & SAT. - “JIMMY FRASIER” SUNDAY – “BRYAN LIVETT” Come join us for good food & entertainment!

TM Systems International Weight Management and Nutritional Centres TM A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 3, 2001 School work on the home front From 10 minutes to three hours, board offers guidelines BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The public school board has released a guide to help teachers and par- ents gauge how much homework children should be doing every night. Bev Freedman, program su- perintendent at the Durham Dis- trict School Board, said the doc- ument provides direction for teachers, suggestions for parents and research findings to back up the importance of homework in student success. “This is a guide for teachers because what we’ve been hear- ing is there’s a wide variation across the system,” said Ms. Freedman at Monday’s standing committee meeting. Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Mari- lyn Crawford said she has heard of some students in the same grade who receive no homework in one school and one-and-a-half hours a night in another. “The guidelines have been widely distributed and on any given night the homework may vary,” replied Ms. Freedman. She said what she hears from parents is that “most nights stu- dents have a fair amount of en- gaging homework”. An accompanying chart sug- gests kindergarten students should have up to 10 minutes of homework on most nights, while the average OAC student should generally hit the books for be- tween 90 minutes and three hours. Students in grades 7 and 8 should have 30 minutes to one hour of homework, while one to two hours per night is suggested in grades 9 to 12. The homework guideline em- phasizes that many factors deter- mine how much time a student spends on homework and that parents and guardians share with administrators, teachers and stu- dents “the responsibility for de- veloping and maintaining good homework practices”. Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford expressed concerns students have too heavy a load to bear in their backpacks, saying it’s hard on their backs to cart heavy books back and forth. Ms. Freedman noted many new backpacks are pulled on wheels, not carried. “Most of us walked to school with several books and somehow we survived,” she said. Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge said students are getting detentions and even being sus- pended for not doing homework, “which in my opinion is com- pletely inappropriate”. Ms. Freedman said staff are working on another guideline and “one of the issues is how schools and teachers respond to work that comes in late or does not come in at all”. She said school councils, ad- ministrators, teachers and stu- dents all had input on the proce- dure. The homework guideline does not just consider written work as homework, but also in- cludes being read to, reading aloud and independent reading, such as in-home reading pro- grams. Preparing for the next day’s class work or future lessons and developing, review- ing and reinforcing specific skills are also counted as home- work. A parent or guardian’s role, the guideline states, includes giv- ing appropriate encouragement and support, expecting students to finish homework regularly, and maintaining close contact with their child’s teacher. The homework guideline, procedure 6020, is to be posted on the board’s Web site at www.ddsb.durham.edu.on.ca/.

During question period in the House of Commons Sept. 19, the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP asked Ralph Goodale, minister of natural resources, what measures have been taken to ensure the security of our en- ergy systems in light of last month’s terrorist attacks in the U.S. Mr. Goodale replied enhanced se- curity remained in place but would not discuss the details. Mr. McTeague also forwarded a letter Sept. 21 to the minister in an at- tempt to ascertain the limit of public liability in the event of an attack and whether it would be changing given the circumstances in the U.S. Ministry of Natural Resources of- ficials have said the current liability legislation would be revised upwards following an ongoing consultation process. At Pickering council Monday, Councillor Maurice Brenner main- tained his dissatisfaction with the current Nuclear Liability Act and said he would be asking councillors in the coming weeks to support a re- quest that the process for changing the act be sped up. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 3, 2001 PAGE 5 P Read up online at durhamregion.com fore to show our faith in the tremen- dous growth potential for Ontario as well as the entrepreneurial sprit and productivity of Ontario’s workers,” said Mr. Harris. “I know that three weeks later, Ontario families are still concerned about the events of Sept. 11 and their impact on our province. On- tario is a very safe place. We are tak- ing steps to make it even more safe, and to ensure that our economy con- tinues to grow and create jobs.” Bob Malcolmson, general manager and chief executive officer of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, said the announcement is a sign of confidence in the economy by the Province, an important part of eas- ing the fears and doubts many share about an uncertain economic future. “This should settle some nerves and keep the economy going,” he said. “This was very timely; we’ve had a major economic hit psychologically. This could help put people’s mindset back on business, industry, and com- merce.” Mr. Harris also called for increased vigilance and security at the Canadian and U.S. border. “It is essential that Canada harmo- nize some of its rules and co-ordinate customs procedures to create a com- mon North American security perime- ter that will allow the continued free flow of people, goods and services be- tween Canada and the U.S.,” Mr. Har- ris said. “If we fail to do so, I believe that we may be jeopardizing the cross-bor- der access that has been so important to Ontario jobs and prosperity.” To this end the Province has ap- pointed Norman Inkster, retired com- missioner of the RCMP, and retired Major-General Lewis Mackenzie as security advisers to the provincial government. It also plans to review its emergency response plans. “Security is important in continu- ing the free flow of goods and services across the border,” noted Mr. Mal- colmson. “These measures will help the economy in Ontario.” BUSINESS from page 1 Business groups embrace tax-cut news McTeague puts nuclear liability questions to minister COMPLETE FAMILY EYE CARE DR.

Ontario has been urged to revive a legislature committee on terror- ism that was created to protect res- idents, but this would need a lot more than mouth-to-mouth resusci- tation. Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty said the Province needs to do all it can to assure residents’ safety and should “reconvene an all-party committee on terrorism it had in the 1980s”. One difficulty is this committee, which no one in today’s legislature seems to remember accurately, was never envisaged even remotely as helping defend North America against terrorism. Its aim, a worthy one, was to focus attention on violations of human rights, political killings, im- prisonment, torture and similar ter- rorism in other parts of the world in the hope of helping deter them. The second problem is the com- mittee was never allowed for a sec- ond to do even this task. The Pro- gressive Conservative government under premier William Davis had it forced on it and had no enthusiasm for it. The committee came into being after New Democrats had pleaded for two decades that the legislature take a stand and express concerns at violations of human rights in other countries. These included among many ex- amples of genocide in Biafra, where more than a million people died in civil war and famine, mur- ders and torture of government crit- ics in several South American countries and brutality against blacks by the white, pro-apartheid regime of South Africa. Mr. Davis and his Tory prede- cessor, John Robarts, countered they had sympathy in some cases, but they and even some Liberals viewed such international issues as outside the Province’s jurisdiction and matters for the federal govern- ment, which has responsibility for foreign affairs. The Tory government got in- volved in only a few international issues, for instance, condemning the United Nations for saying Zion- ism was racist and urging residents not to buy Soviet-made Lada cars. It took stands then because they appealed to large groups of voters in Ontario, Jews and immigrants who fled Soviet domination, while few votes could be won speaking against atrocities in Africa. But in 1980 New Democrat Jim Renwick moved a resolution the se- lect committee on the ombudsman, which normally looks at com- plaints about bureaucrats who fail Ontario residents, be asked to sug- gest ways the legislature could make its voice heard abroad and it was surprisingly approved by the legislature. Some Tories, including Larry Grossman, industry minister and later party leader, spoke in favour and the government felt it would be embarrassed if it put out word to defeat such a high-sounding pro- posal. The ombudsman committee, al- though dominated by Tories, took its task seriously and approached the federal external affairs ministry, which reported it had no objection to Ontario speaking up against po- litical repression abroad. The feder- al ministry even felt it would be useful. The committee said it wanted to avoid mere empty talk to repressive regimes and persuading them to ameliorate their repression would be slow, difficult and frustrating. But it said its research found some repressive regimes are sensi- tive to world opinion and publicity, political pressure and even personal appeals can help change policies. The committee, because it had experience handling investigations, offered to take on the role of look- ing into repression abroad and rec- ommending when and how the leg- islature should act. But Mr. Davis was wary of a committee that might criticize such nations as South Africa or Indone- sia, where hundreds of thousands were killed for political reasons but with whom Ontario had trade. Six years after the legislature ap- proved Mr. Renwick’s resolution, the ombudsman committee was still pleading it be allowed to take stands against terrorism abroad, but Mr. Davis ignored it. Liberal premier David Peterson at least took some sanctions against apartheid in South Africa, barring sales of that country’s wines in provincially owned liquor stores. But NDP premier Bob Rae compromised his party’s earlier stands by going on trade missions to China despite its abuse of human rights, and the current Tory pre- mier, Mike Harris, as opposition leader, criticized him for going there without speaking up, but later did the same himself. Premiers have been reluctant to give powers to all-party committees that may have different views from their own and Mr. Harris is not like- ly to allow one to tell him how to fight the new terrorism. Committee would face challenges All-party groups rarely given necessary power to enact real change The collateral damage from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is being felt around the world as job cuts and business losses mount. The terrorists took lives and ruined families; they also frightened millions away from air travel, caused thousands upon thousands of layoffs and put an already sliding econo- my into a free fall. It may not be enough to stop the bleeding but at least Pre- mier Mike Harris is making an effort to do what he can. The premier’s televised announcement Monday that he would speed up already scheduled tax cuts is welcome and necessary news. Instead of taking place Jan. 1, 2002, the following will happen immediately: • Low-income earners will see their personal income tax rate drop to 6.16 per cent, middle-income earners to 9.22 per cent. Overall tax savings for the remainder of this year will be $15 million; • General corporate taxes will drop from 14 to 12.5 per cent, a savings of $2.5 million for the rest of the year; • The small business tax rate drops from 6.5 to 6 per cent, while the manufacturing and processing rate goes to 11 from 12 per cent; and • The Province is also beginning the process of eliminating capital taxes with up to a $5-million deduction freed up from taxable paid-up capital. Mr. Harris’s tax-cut policy is intended to keep the twin en- gines of the economy — consumer spending and investment — humming along in the wake of the attacks and a worldwide economy that was slumping even before Sept. 11. The unexpected tax break, combined with further rate cuts by the Bank of Canada and U.S. Federal Reserve is about all that can be done at this point. The drastic move of deficit spending to stimulate the economy should be avoided at all costs. The premier also appointed retired Major-General Lewis MacKenzie and retired RCMP commissioner Norman Inkster as security advisers to provide guidance as to how the Province can deal with terrorist threats. This too is a protec- tive measure for our economy since a co-ordinated plan — Foreign Minister John Manley is in a similar position with the feds — to deal with further terrorist activity will act as a shield to shattered confidence. We must find ways to continue our lifestyle and our gov- ernments owe it to us to use all means at their disposal to pro- tect our security. These measures are a start. In light of all the tragic events unfolding around us across the globe in the last month, it’s only understandable that the routine of day-to-day living is taking some time to return to normal. But, as the healing process continues, time has begun tick- ing on a local organization that plays a big part in the lives of local residents. The United Way of Ajax-Pickering kicked off its annual fund-raising campaign only two days before the at- tack on the U.S. with a run/walk event at Ontario Power Gen- eration in Pickering. Organizers aimed their sights high this year, setting their fund-raising target at a record $1.5 million. And why not? Last year’s goal of $1.35 million was easily exceeded as local residents, businesses and organizations came through with almost $1,426,000. Each and every penny is being put to good use right here at home, right now. So, as the first-month mark nears in this campaign that runs until the end of the year, it’s important now to offer a reminder to all local residents of just how big a part the United Way plays in the everyday lives of people in our communities. For example, did you know that the Durham branch of the Red Cross Society received $48,000 in funding from the local United Way office in 2000? Or that the Ajax and Pickering Big Brothers and Big Sisters organizations received almost $100,000 between them to help young boys and girls make important connections with adults in their community? Or that the Social Development Council of Ajax-Pickering was given $50,000 to continue making a difference in so many local lives? The list, as always, is impressive. In fact, one in every three residents of Ajax and Pickering are impacted by the United Way’s contributions to local groups and agencies. The United Way has been an important leader in helping to build — and in some cases rebuild — the lives and organiza- tions that make up our communities. Do your part. Dig deep. Give to the United Way and send this year’s total way over the top. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 3, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Please sign your organ donor cards To the editor: In the days following the trag- ic event that took place in the United States on Sept. 11, people from all over flocked to Canadi- an Blood Services to donate blood. Those donations saved hundreds and possibly thousands of lives. Before this event, blood banks have always been set up for vol- unteers to donate their blood. These donations of blood saved my dad’s life for 19 emotional, roller-coaster hours. That was long enough to transport him to Toronto General Hospital and long enough for 24 members of his family and friends to be there with him when he took his last breath on Sept. 23. In his 52nd year, he left us at 2:30 p.m. with a strong fight. My father had liver disease and was on the waiting list for a transplant. Ontario alone has the lowest number of donors in North America. He wanted that second chance so desperately. His heart, lungs, brain and all other organs were working fine; all he needed to survive was a donor’s liver. Up until Sept. 22, everyone had hope. We thought we had a fighting chance and he was doing and feeling much bet- ter than he had in a very long time. Sadly, this event came too soon, without warning and too unexpectedly. On behalf of my father and all others who died, and those cur- rently waiting for an organ, I’m asking you to sign your donor cards and tell a family member of your wishes to donate once you’ve passed on. If you haven’t done so due to religious beliefs, I respect that. But please don’t do this out of fear, ignorance or neg- ligence. Thousands of people are waiting for the gift of an extend- ed life. In honour of my father, Ken- neth Stephen Kruitz, the funni- est, most intelligent man I knew, please pass this message on to offer the miraculous gift of life.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Proposed legislation would take strong action to better pro- tect Ontario students from sexual abuse, says Education Minister Janet Ecker. “It is the intention to make sure there are clear, tough, consistent rules across the province for those who would abuse our students,” she said in an interview Thursday. ‘The Student Protection Act’was in- troduced Wednesday at Queen’s Park. If passed, it would require all em- ployers of certified teachers to report to the Ontario College of Teachers if an ed- ucator is charged with a sexual offence against a student. It would define sexual abuse to encompass sexual harassment, and ensure any teacher in a publicly funded school is taken out of the class- room if charged with sexual assault against a student. The act would also make it clear that a teacher would not have to inform a colleague if they are submitting a sexu- al abuse report about them. Employers who break reporting rules would face a fine of up to $25,000. “I certainly support the legislation from what I’ve seen,” said Craig Burch, employee relations superintendent at the Durham District School Board. “And I don’t think it will be tremendously dif- ferent from the practice at the Durham District School Board.” He said the board “certainly reports to the college of teachers any teacher we think has done something disreputable in any kind of sexual offence”. Ms. Ecker said the legislation would also improve information sharing be- tween employers and the Ontario Col- lege of Teachers. An employer who has taken action to limit a teachers’access to students would have to inform the col- lege, she said. Similarly, the college would be bound to inform an employer if it took action against a teacher. Ms. Ecker said boards have been known to withdraw intended action against a teacher if the employee agrees to leave the board, which left open the possibility the person could go on to re- offend elsewhere. The legislation stems from former Ontario Court of Appeal Judge Sydney Robins’ report, ‘Protecting Our Stu- dents’, which made 101 recommenda- tions following his review of a case in- volving a Sault Ste. Marie teacher. In 1996, Ken DeLuca pleaded guilty to 14 of 41 sexual offences involving 13 fe- male students with which he was charged. The first of several complaints against him had been made roughly two decades earlier, but nothing was done to stop the teacher, who served 26 months in jail. Bill Butcher, Durham president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), said “it struck him as odd” that the proposed bill would only address teachers. “What about the other people in the building?” he asked. “It’s an unacceptable offence regardless of who commits it, but the legislation only addresses teachers.” He believes “teachers would feel no qualms” about reporting colleagues. Ms. Ecker emphasized “everyone recognizes that the vast majority of teachers have and deserve the respect and the trust of parents, students and their colleagues”. The bill’s definition of sexual abuse by a teacher is sexual intercourse or other forms of physical sexual relations between a teacher and student, touching of a sexual nature, or “behaviour or re- marks of a sexual nature.” It is derived from what is contained in the Regulated Health Professionals Act.

BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —The league’s hottest team cooled off the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Pan- thers on Sunday, thus ending their three-game unbeaten streak. The Pickering juniors suf- fered a 5-2 loss to the first-place and still undefeated St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Sunday. The Pan- thers (3-4-1-1 for eight points, fourth in South Conference) earned a single point on home ice last weekend after a come- from-behind 4-4 tie with the North York Rangers in OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ South Conference action Friday. The Panthers played in Os- hawa Tuesday night against the Legionaires at the Civic Audito- rium. The result wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. Despite outshooting the red- hot Buzzers by a 42-25 margin, the Panthers couldn’t translate scoring opportunities into goals against a Toronto team that has- n’t lost in seven consecutive games to start the regular season. In fact, costly defensive give- aways kept the team from possi- bly handing the Buzzers their first loss. “We played better in the loss than we did in the tie,” explained Panthers’ head coach Bill Pur- cell. “I thought we played a good game, but all the St. Michael’s goals were on giveaways. We would put the puck on their sticks and ‘bang’ it was in the net. We should have had a better outcome than the score indicat- ed.” St. Mike’s led 2-0 after the first period and 3-1 after 40 min- utes of play. Rookie forward Paul McFar- land continues to be one of the Panthers most productive for- wards, setting up both Pickering goals. The six-foot, one-inch, 165-pound forward is currently on a point-a-game clip so far this season with nine points in nine games. Steve Farquarson and Garett Winder scored, while Kyle Aitken also added an assist. In Friday’s tie with North York, the Panthers got off to sluggish start, allowing the visi- tors to score three times in the opening 20 minutes. Pickering, however, narrowed the gap to 3- 2 in the second period and then tied the game within the first two minutes of the third. North York regained the lead briefly at the five-minute mark only to have the Panthers knot the score less than three minutes later. The five-minute overtime frame failed to decide a winner. Purcell said a consistent effort would have translated into a win, as the poor start put the team in a big hole. “We didn’t play at all in the first period. We didn’t get going until the third period and you can’t do that,” said Purcell. The ability of the team to come back after being down early was a positive sign at this early stage of the season, noted Panthers’team captain Winder. “This shows that if we’re down, like tonight, down 3-0 we can come back and battle for 60 minutes. We shouldn’t be down 3-0 in the first place, but if we do get ourselves in those situations it’s good to know that we can battle back and play hard,” said Winder. McFarland, Farquarson, Dan Schofield and Winder scored for Pickering. Assisting were Alex Pavloski, Farquarson, Aitken, McFarland, Winder and Ryan Taylor, all with one. The Rangers outshot the Pan- thers 30-28. Scott Gray got the start in goal for the Panthers.

The noise becomes louder as the speed of the car increases. What can cause this type of noise to occur? ANSWER: A humming or droning noise is usually caused by the slow degradation of a bearing on a rotating component. The belt driven components such as the power steering pump, alternator and water pump can cause bearing noise if faulty. Powertrain components such as bearing and gears in the transaxle, final drive gears and bearings or sealed wheel bearing can also cause humming or droning noises when faulty. A competent technician can typically distinguish component is faulty by process of elimination through various testing methods. A good sense of hearing augmented by years of experience can save a lot of money in diagnostic time trying to determine the source of this abnormal humming, droning noise. Wheel bearing could be the source of the noise that you are hearing from your car. Before approaching your technician, gather as much information as possible regarding the conditions that affect the tone or pitch of the noise. This information will assist your technician in the diagnosis of pinpointing the source of the abnormal sound. Does the sound pitch change when the car is driven on slight left or right curves in the road? Does the sound become louder if the car is cold or hot? Does the sound become louder if it is raining outside or if it is sunny and dry? The conditions that affect the noise will assist your technician in duplication of the noise when diagnosing during a road test. A sealed front wheel bearing consists of two rows of steel ball bearings that roll inside a hardened steel race. Grease is contained in the bearing with synthetic seals. The bearing assembly is press fit into the front steering knuckle support that is attached to the suspension strut. The axle shaft fits through the sealed bearing to the hub that supports the brake rotor and the wheel and tire assembly. In essence, the wheel bearings support the entire weight of the car and must rotate as well! If the sound pitch of the humming, droning sound changes when on left or right curves in the road, a wheel bearing is the most likely culprit. A technician can usually determine which bearing is suspect by road testing, then loading the bearings by turning to the right or left while listening for changes in the pitch of the noise. The technician can also utilize a temperature measuring device to measure the temperature of both front wheel bearings after the roadtest. The faulty wheel bearing will usually be hotter than the bearing that is in good shape due to friction caused by the defective surface of the ball bearings or bearing race. These surface imperfections of the bearings can race are the actual source of the humming, droning noise that you hear as the parts rotate. There is no need to change both right and left side bearings at the same time as they do not tend to become faulty due to age. I hope that this information will assist you to ascertain the source of the noise in your car. Remember, always gather as much information as possible, prior to arriving at the repair shop. Your technician will appreciate the information and the time saved in diagnostic testing will be directly reflected on your repair bill!
