Murder accused to stand trial DURHAM —An Ajax man has been ordered to stand trial on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of his com- mon-law wife earlier this year. Judge Donald Halikowski ruled there was sufficient evi- dence to warrant a trial in the case of James Stewart Poland, 38, following a preliminary hearing last week in the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa. Mr. Poland is accused of murdering his common-law wife of 10 years, Andrea Schneider, in the garage of their Perfitt Crescent home on June 7. The body of the 38-year-old mother of three was found in the trunk of her car, parked at the Durham Centre plaza at Har- wood Avenue and Kingston Road in Ajax.An autopsy found she died of blunt force trauma to the head, police said. Mr. Poland was arrested later in the day at the couple’s resi- dence. A pretrial is scheduled for Jan. 31 in Whitby’s Superior Court. Durham police secure new OPG deal Contract calls for officers on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM ––The Durham Regional Police Service and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) inked a multimillion- dollar, multi-year deal yester- day, making the post-Sept. 11 police presence at the Picker- ing and Darlington nuclear generating stations a long-term reality. “Following the events of Sept. 11, OPG responded quickly to enhance security,” said John Murphy, OPG execu- tive vice-president of human resources. “This service agree- ment builds on the years of quality police service and it helps to further integrate our internal site security measures with the expertise and experi- ence of the regional police.” Few details about the agree- ment were released to the pub- lic for security reasons, howev- er, OPG said specially-trained personnel would be on-site at both plants 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Police Chief Kevin McAlpine confirmed the agreement would be in place for “at minimum the next seven years and likely as long as the plants are operating”. He also said taxpayers would not be hit with the hiring and training costs of the addi- tional officers as OPG is pick- ing up the tab. “Ontario Power Generation is getting a great team of high- ly skilled officers and we will be expanding our tactical ca- pacity without burdening re- gional ratepayers,” he ex- plained. “This is a win-win scenario.” Mr. Murphy added the agreement comes out of rec- ommendations from nuclear security experts OPG brought in to assess the “land, lake and air risks” at the two plants. He added other security measures are and will continue to be taken. Chief McAlpine also con- firmed there have been “no di- rect threats to either” of Durham’s nuclear plants, but added the new security mea- sures were part of a national and provincial strategy to in- crease safety in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. “The rules have changed (since Sept. 11),” said Neil Weaver, director of security for OPG nuclear. “Those events dictated a response, a higher level of security, a different level... this is a good step for the company, the community and nuclear safety in its entire- ty.” RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Ontario Power Generation’s John Murphy (left) and Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine announce new full-time security agreement yesterday. Dunbarton to absorb Woodlands Trustees give OK to $1-million expansion, relief for students BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Public school board trustees spent $39 million Monday night, ap- proving expansions to high schools in Pickering and Uxbridge, and a new facility in Whitby. Durham District School Board trustees split their three- year capital $89.05-million draft plan in half at Monday’s meeting and approved the sec- ondary portion. That means a $1-million expansion of Dun- barton High School that in- volves the annexation of the adjacent, and currently empty, Woodlands Centennial Public School. “I’m very happy about this, not just for Dunbarton but for Whitby and Uxbridge too, be- cause they’re overcrowded,” said Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge. Trustees also approved a $26-million high school for Whitby and a $12-million ad- dition to Uxbridge Secondary School. Trustee Bridge, a Dunbar- ton graduate, said she was con- cerned the addition would stall ‘Crazed’ teen charged with assaulting police PICKERING ––A 17- year-old boy described as being in a “crazed state” was arrested after a violent struggle with police that was captured on videotape. Durham Regional Police said the teenager broke into a home on Eringate Boulevard at about 3:20 a.m. Saturday, as- saulted a 15-year-old girl and chased the startled pyjama-clad family from the residence. The teen took a purse from the home and was leaving when two officers responding to a 911 call about a break-and- enter in progress confronted him. Sergeant Paul Malik, spokesman for the Durham po- lice force, said the youth was approached by police outside the residence, struck one of the constables in the head and then released a “barrage of punches. “He became increasingly aggressive and violent. Ac- cording to the officers he ap- peared to be in a crazed state,” Ajax resident James Poland has been ordered to stand trial in the murder of his wife, Andrea Schneider. Her body was found in the trunk of a car in a local parking lot last June. AT A GLANCE Durham police RIDE numbers head up in seasonal campaign DURHAM —Twice as many motorists have been charged in the region with drinking and dri- ving in the first two weeks of this year’s holiday Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) pro- gram compared to 2000, police say. Durham Regional Police said officers with the RIDE team are also alarmed by the number of graduated drivers — 10 — who have been cited for violating their new licences by consuming alcohol. Police stopped 14,550 vehi- cles at RIDE checkpoints during Week 2 of the campaign, admin- istered 257 roadside breathal- yser tests and charged 40 peo- ple with drunk driving. Another 58 motorists received 12-hour suspensions after registering a “warn”. In the same period last year, 12,675 vehicles were pulled over, 157 tests administered, 20 drivers were charged and 27 re- ceiving suspensions. This year’s RIDE spot checks have also resulted in po- lice laying another 16 criminal and 62 Highway Traffic Act charges. 911 call leads police to hundreds of marijuana plants in Pickering PICKERING ––A suspicious 911 call Friday led Durham Re- gional Police officers to an in- door marijuana growing opera- tion at a home on West Shore Boulevard. Police said a 911 call, with no voice contact, sparked an in- vestigation that led them to the residence, which was empty when checked by officers. A sophisticated hydroponics operation was found in the home along with 200 pot plants in the early stages of growth, police said. The lab included an illegal hydro bypass. Police seized the plants and $20,000 in growing equipment. The investigation is continuing. See TEEN page 5See PICKERING’S page 5 PRE-BOXING WEEK SALE!

City councillors are urging the Province to accept a design report which calls for 113 out- door sirens and 68,500 indoor tone alert radios for homes within three to 10 kilometres of the Pickering plant, in addi- tion to the 29 sirens and 6,300 radios already approved by the Province for the three-kilome- tre radius. Council endorsed the plan Monday evening and will now forward the report to the Province. Plant operators Ontario Power Generation (OPG) will cover the costs of the alerting system as required by the Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan. The Province approved the plan for the three-kilometre ra- dius in Pickering and another 17 sirens and 100 indoor sys- tems for those within three kilometres of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station after a meeting last month be- tween the provincial emer- gency measures office, OPG and the chief administrative officers of Pickering and Clar- ington. At the time, Clarington Mayor John Mutton said it was the right time to get moving on a 10-kilometre alerting system. Mayor Wayne Arthurs said the plan for both the three- kilometre and 10-kilometre radii represented a “positive step” toward effective notifica- tion of a nuclear emergency. The plan for the three-kilo- metre radius will now proceed to final design with OPG com- mitted to covering the costs of its implementation. To date, the Province and OPG have not committed to the three- to 10-kilometre plan, but the City will now be urging both sides to do so. Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at Pickering Nu- clear, said OPG is committed to doing whatever the provin- cial government plans to do. “Whatever the government decides is fine with us,” he said, adding that once the three-kilometre alerting sys- tem is in place the Province will likely assess the need for expansion to the ten-kilometre radius. “We just write the cheque.” Read all about it online at durhamregion.com BROKEN WINDSHIELD?SHIFT KNOBS $65 • WOOD DASH KITS •LEATHER • BOAT TOPS • TONNEAUS • SPOILERSDURHAM'S FINEST AUTOMOTIVE DETAILING SINCE 1987 • CAR ALARMS • REMOTE STARTERS $199 • SCOTCHGUARD • WAX • COMPOUND • POLISH • CUTOM UPHOLSTERY SPEEDY GLASS NETWORK831-4290(Northwest corner at Bayly) 1010 Brock Road South $300.00 Deductible We Pay Up To AUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY GREAT GIFT IDEAS Annual Rust Protection ....from $75.00 Paint Protection ....from $150.00 Remote Starters & Alarms “Your Vacuum Superstore” since 1985 AJAX 905-428-8227 29 HARWOOD AVE.

The area would roughly encom- pass between Bayly Street and Taunton Road. South of Bayly, it would still be called Pickering Beach and north of Taunton, it would remain Salem. The committee expressed, and Ministry of Transportation concurred, it would be preferable to have one continuous street name between pro- posed interchanges at Hwy. 401 and Hwy. 407. Ajax councillors then voted to ask Pickering to change the part of Salem Road in the municipality to Car- ruthers Creek Drive. But Pickering is asking Ajax to re- consider its choice and select the name Salem Road. “I don’t see the reason Ajax coun- cil would select this, the majority had supported Salem Road and then they shifted,” said Coun. Johnson. “We need to send a message that we are unanimous, however split their coun- cil may be.” Pickering planning staff’s report to council indicates the name Salem is supported by the Ministry of Trans- portation for safety reasons, because the name is shorter and requires less attention from drivers. The report also states it would be premature to change the name con- sidering the proposed Hwy. 407 inter- change at Salem Road has not been finalized. Approximately 27 lots have a Salem Road address, including the Salem Road Cemetery and Church, which would all have to go through an address change if the name were to be changed. City records indicate the cemetery has been in existence since the mid- 1800s and staff believes that provides historical reference for how long the road name has been used. Based on information from a 1999 News Advertiser article, City staff has determined the name Salem comes from a biblical name, which means ‘meeting place’ or ‘place of worship’. “For us to want to change that bib- lical name, I do not see a reason,” said Coun. Johnson. “There is enough support and re- spect for our ancestors (to keep the name Salem).” A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, December 19, 2001 Salem Road has history on its side: Pickering GM shuts down No. 2 car plant for month DURHAM ––More than 2,000 General Motors’employees in Oshawa will be off work for January as the carmaker continues to reduce its inventory of cars. The No. 2 car plant, which produces the Buick Regal and Century, will be shut down for most of the month, GM of Canada spokesman Richard James confirmed. “The plant will be down for the weeks of Dec. 31 and Jan. 7, 14 and 21,” he said. About 2,500 workers are employed at that plant which has already been idled for eight weeks this year due to inventory reductions. Canadian Auto Workers Local 222 president Mike Shields said “Anytime you have down time, it’s not a positive. That’s why we’ve ne- gotiated a sub plan to supplement people’s un- employment.” He added workers at the No. 2 car plant and the union are taking “some comfort” from the fact the shutdowns here are “market driven” and not lack of products as experienced at other automakers’plants in Canada and even at GM’s Ste. Therese plant which is being closed next year. “When we come out of this economic dive, it’ll be business as usual here,” Mr. Shields said, adding a post-Christmas slowdown is nat- ural in the automotive industry. The slowdown is exaggerated this year by the tragic events of Sept. 11, when terrorists struck the World Trade Center and Pentagon in the United States, he said. The January shutdowns will come after all three GM plants in Oshawa will be closed the week of Dec. 24 for the Christmas holidays. While the No. 2 car plant continues to expe- rience shutdowns, the No. 1 car plant, produc- ing the Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, and the truck plant are steadily operating. Employ- ees in these two plants are even working over- time, Mr. James said. FREE Massage! With Each Christmas Spa Package Gift Certificate Purchase! Call 905-619-2639 For Details!

She noted other school boards were eyeing Woodlands for pos- sible use. Dunbarton has an Education- Ministry-rated capacity of 1,368 but teaches 1,930 students, the second-highest population of any board school. In converting Woodlands for high school stu- dent use, roughly 15 of the school’s 21 portables could be re- moved. “It will make a big difference to the student population of the school,” said school community council chairman Anna Mariani. “It means indoor classes for everyone.” Pickering High School (PHS) in Ajax, the board’s most over- crowded high school, was not in- cluded in the plan. But Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford motioned that the school’s needs be reviewed in the third year of the plan when deci- sions are made about years four and five. The motion passed unanimously and also stated any available portable classroom module be moved to PHS as soon as possible. “Obviously I would have liked to have seen this school on the first three years (of the plan),” said Trustee Crawford. The remainder of the draft plan can still be approved as orig- inally drawn up by staff two months ago, but only if trustees vote to close seven elementary schools, including Valley View Public School in Pickering, and Lord Durham and Parkside pub- lic schools in Ajax. If one or more of those schools stays open, the board will not be able to complete the pro- posed elementary portion of the plan. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, December 19, 2001 PAGE 5 P Let us entertain you...Pleaserecycle!Sgt. Malik said. Sgt. Malik said the teen continued to fight with the constables, despite being pepper-sprayed and being struck with expandable ba- tons during the melee. “He didn’t appear to feel any pain. It was like he had supernatural strength. Several times he was re- strained but managed (to break away).” A neighbour videotaped part of the altercation and footage was later shown on a television newscast. Sgt. Malik said one of- ficer suffered cuts to his lips and a black eye in the skirmish, while his partner received bruises to the head. The youth, who can’t be identified under provisions of the Young Offenders Act, suffered minor in- juries and was treated at hospital, police said. Police alleged the teen had earlier tried to break into another home. He was charged with two counts of break-and- enter, assault to resist ar- rest and assault as well as theft, possession of stolen property, assaulting a po- lice officer and breach of probation. He was de- tained pending a bail hear- ing.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. The Ontario Progressive Con- servative party has been looking a bit like the Northern Alliance as it gets into the process of picking a new leader and premier to succeed Mike Harris. Differences in viewpoint have emerged between the five candi- dates that are many and deep and animosities revealed that are per- sonal and bitter. Mr. Harris, who has never used a soft word to avoid a confronta- tion, had encouraged the con- tenders to make it “an exciting con- test of ideas.” But he must be surprised at the ferocity of their attacks on each other, unusual in a governing party which has to get back to its day-to- day job of running the province after a leader is chosen. The squabbling began even be- fore any candidate had announced, prompted by news former deputy premier and finance minister Ernie Eves was considering returning from his well-paid job in big busi- ness to seek the leadership. That choice automatically would make him the front-runner. Current deputy premier and fi- nance minister Jim Flaherty, who would have been front-runner without Mr. Eves’s entry, quickly called his predecessor “a spender,” who had the luxury of governing when the economy and tax rev- enues kept growing and would not be as suited to today’s tight eco- nomic times. Mr. Flaherty, perhaps trying to squelch an Eves candidacy, also portrayed himself as the only po- tential candidate who had had a successful, long-term career in the private sector, which usually goes down well with Tories, who have extra respect for those who say they “met a payroll.” But Mr. Flaherty was merely a partner in a law firm, as Mr. Eves was for a shorter time, and none of the candidates, like Mr. Harris be- fore them, would be in the running for entrepreneur of the year. When Mr. Eves announced, he said he will not give up his private job until he knows whether he has won the premiership. Mr. Flaherty, who gives new meaning to the term ‘Fighting Irish,’ suggested Mr. Eves is unwilling to commit him- self fully to politics and might even have a conflict of interest, working for the private sector while running for premier (who can make deci- sions from which business could gain.) Mr. Eves retorted Mr. Flaherty’s argument was silly, because as a re- cently retired minister he is barred from lobbying and it was laughable Mr. Flaherty, as both a lawyer and former attorney general, would not know this. Mr. Eves also took a substantive slap at a high-profile Flaherty poli- cy, saying in providing tax credits to parents who send children to pri- vate schools he should insist they teach the province’s core curricu- lum. This would please critics in- cluding Education Minister Janet Ecker, who has had trouble defend- ing Mr. Flaherty’s plan and is a key Eves supporter. Health Minister Tony Clement, the youngest candidate at 40, took a run at Mr. Eves and Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer, in their mid-fifties like the retiring Mr. Harris, by calling for a “new gener- ation of leadership” and pointing out the Tories have dominated by consistently bringing in younger leaders. Mr. Eves replied he did not feel old enough to be Mr. Clement’s father. Mr. Eves and Ms. Witmer indi- cated they would be to the left of Mr. Harris, with Mr. Eves saying he is pragmatic and Ms. Witmer wanting to build bridges to and nurture pride and enthusiasm among teachers and nurses. Mr. Flaherty ripped back at the two by saying they are suggesting a path that looks inviting and easy, but would lead to higher govern- ment spending and taxes, which are anathema to many Tories. Mr. Clement said under these more centrist candidates the party would be in danger of losing its conservative principles, abandon- ing its roots and trying to be some- thing it is not. Labour Minister Chris Stock- well put down three rivals almost in one breath. He said a Flaherty proposal to abolish waiting lists for cancer treatment in five years “is fine, but how is he going to abolish them?” Mr. Stockwell said Ms. Wit- mer’s promise of reconciliation with teachers and nurses “sounds good, but how would she do it? Nurses will need more than a big hug to satisfy them - they want an- swers.” Mr. Stockwell also said he does not know what Mr. Eves means when he calls himself “a fiscal con- servative with a large social con- science,” a common claim of politicians wanting to seem all things to all people. The Tory contenders are raising a lot of questions including how they managed to stick together until now and how united they will be when the leadership race is over. Gloves off in Tory leadership battle Contender Flaherty gives new meaning to the term ‘Fighting Irish’ The decision about whether to enact a smoking ban on bars, restaurants and bingo halls in Durham Region is still far from a reality. That’s why the complaints by some business owners about the process may be a little premature. The Durham health and social services committee, by just a narrow margin, has asked the Region’s eight municipalities to discuss over the next month the possibility of a region-wide bylaw that would set the smoking standard across Durham. Only if a clear majority agree a region-wide solution is best, will public consultation on a bylaw take place. Even then, it’s uncertain what kind of bylaw the Region will come up with. It’s taken Durham a long time to catch up to many other parts of Ontario that have taken a more progressive stand on the smoking-in-public-places issue. Consider a major city like Ottawa already has a full smoking ban in place. As does Waterloo, Barrie and Oakville. Other cities looking into full bans are Cornwall, Halton, Kingston and Thunder Bay. Even Toronto is phasing in a full bylaw as are GTA regions Peel, Halton and York. So Durham is only playing catch-up in at least exploring the possibility of a region-wide smoking policy. Clearly, re- gional councillors have plenty of examples from which to choose in evaluating the effectiveness of smoking bans and how restaurants and bars have dealt with various bylaws. If a majority of municipalities choose to shun the regional route, they will still have to regulate their own smoking by- laws. As Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner indicated, however, Durham’s smoking bylaws are the weakest in the GTA. That suggests we are out of touch when it comes to dealing with the dangers of second-hand smoke. Does it make sense for Pickering to have a smoking bylaw while Ajax has a different one? Would different smoking by- laws for Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog add up? Shouldn’t Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington be on a level playing field when it comes to smoking legislation? Common sense would dictate that if it works for Halton, Peel, York and Toronto, shouldn’t it work as well for Durham? It will be important for our regional and local councillors to carefully study the smoking issue to come up with a sensi- ble plan for Durham. The world came to town last week to observe United Na- tions Human Rights Day. People from some walks of life turned out at the McLean Community Centre to discuss other walks of life. They were different colours, followed different religions, observed dif- ferent cultural traditions. They came individually but they thought collectively. The event, a forum called ‘Human rights — a prerequisite for peace’, provided the perfect setting in a world marred by terrorism and the new fight against it. The Taliban have fallen in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida organization is on the run. In Israel, the con- flict between Israelis and Palestinians continues to escalate, even as Yasser Arafat called on his followers Monday to end this latest cycle of violence. It all seems far away — or it did until Sept. 11 — but is still cause for concern here at home. The communities of Ajax and Pickering have long been ac- tive in promoting racial and cultural initiatives. The multicul- tural council of Durham Region continues its work. Students in both Durham school boards regularly take part in exercises and learning units on embracing tolerance and fighting racism. The work that goes on in our communities, in our neighbourhoods, in our classrooms, must continue to provide tangible evidence of the good that can come from working to- gether for the common good. We may never rid the world of terrorism, or of religious zealots, or the barriers some people face each and every day. But, we must continue to work on removing those barriers here at home if we are ever to succeed on a larger scale. We have the will, we have the motivation and we have a citizenry committed to the principles and practice of equality. Let’s keep up the good work and set an example every- where. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER DECEMBER 19, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Closing schools doesn’t support growing community To the editor: Re: Ongoing articles concerning the Durham District School Board’s draft accommodation plan. I don’t understand why the board would consider closing Val- ley View Public School. Other schools in the area are already over- crowded. Look at the number of portables. With all the construction in Ajax and Pickering there will be even more children. Hundreds of new homes are being built at Westney and Taunton roads. I thought Valley View was the home school for this area. Why can’t new students from the area come to Valley View? Do people realize Valley View is in the Hamlet of Greenwood, just five minutes north of Ajax? The board’s plan includes sever- al long overdue additions to Ajax and Pickering elementary schools. I think Valley View should remain open and more additions consid- ered at less cost to taxpayers than building new schools. Bill Middleton, Ajax Council raises can’t be justified To the editor: Re: ‘Durham councillors get early yule gifts,’Dec. 7. In these times of restraint we all must tighten our belts for many are losing their jobs for a host of rea- sons. Since Sept. 11 and before, a recession has hit the economy, no matter how many times politicians claim otherwise. The cost of living, food and shelter have jumped substantially lately and wages have either dropped or cease to rise, yet our politicians find money to give themselves higher wages and bonuses. As the old cliché goes, “They always have money to put in their pockets.” Of course, it’s taxpayers money, but who really cares? J.R. Hanko, Pickering Volunteers earn well-deserved recognition To the editor: The International Year of the Volunteer was celebrated recent- ly by the Social Development Council of Ajax/Pickering at the Ajax Community Centre. Judi Longfield, Whitby-Ajax MP, was guest of honour. Certifi- cates of appreciation were given to all volunteers by Ms. Long- field whose attendance was high- ly appreciated by everybody pre- sent. It was truly a multicultural gathering where food from many different countries and cultures was shared by all. I must congratulate the chief organizer and co-ordinator of the program, Mahmood Mustafa, for such an event and for recognizing the volunteers in the region. The social development coun- cil is a federally-funded volun- teer organization that provides many services to new immigrants settling in Durham Region.

Built in 1941 on Mills Road, the steam heat was vital to the production lines of Defence Indus- tries Limited’s (DIL) shell-filling plant. As late as the mid-1950s, the steam lines from the plant were still in use, supplying Ajax schools, apartments, the hospital and other new industries. These lines can be seen in most early pictures of the DIL days as they all ran sus- pended above ground. There are lines still in use today, now located underground, and in several areas, one can still see the steam being released from the ground.

Be sure candles are placed in sturdy, non-combustible holders, and are kept well away from decorations and other combustible materials. Check candles frequently to make sure they don’t burn down too far or drip hot wax. Don’t leave children unattended in a room with lit candles, and always keep candles, as well as matches and lighters, up high, out of reach of children (preferably stored in a locked cabinet). Don’t display lighted candles in windows or near exits in case you need these to escape. Under no circumstances is it safe to use candles to decorate Christmas trees! Keep flashlights and fresh batteries on hand to use for lighting in the event of a power outage.

The City representative should present proper identification to you. They are not Animal Control Officers and have no authority to fine you for failure to licence. They will, however, provide information to the City on all residents refusing to licence their pets. CAT OWNERS should note that City of Pickering By-law 5728/00 requires all cats to be licenced and leashed when off the owner’s property. DOG OWNERS should note that the same By-law prohibits the keeping of more than two dogs in any one household. Dogs and cats are important members of your family. Animal licences identify your pets and ensure that, should they become lost, they can be returned to their rightful home. A SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO KEEP YOUR PET SAFE! REGISTRATION FEES Pursuant to City of Pickering By-law 5728/00, all dog and cat owners must register their pets on a yearly basis. You could be charged if you fail to purchase the required licence. Yearly fees are as follows: Male or female dog or cat $25.00 Male or female dog or cat with microchip implant $20.00 Spayed or neutered dog or cat $15.00 Spayed or neutered dog or cat with microchip implant $10.00 QUESTIONS Any questions concerning dog or cat registration tags should be directed to the Animal Control Centre at (905) 427-8737.

NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, December 19, 2001 PAGE 7 P Maureen Kempston Darkes moves on DURHAM ––Maureen Kempston Darkes, president of General Motors of Canada Ltd. and vice president of GM Corp., is heading off to warmer climes. As of Jan. 1, the 53-year-old, Toronto-born executive will become president of GM Latin America, Africa and Mid-East and join the company’s automotive strategy board. She’ll report to Rick Wagoner, president and chief executive officer of the America-based company. “Maureen has been a strong leader for GM of Canada, delivering solid business results during her tenure as president,” Mr. Wagoner said. “I know she’ll do a great job for us in the Latin America, Africa, Mid-East region, where we plan to build on our traditionally strong position.” Ms. Kempston Darkes will move from Oshawa to Miami but will retain responsibility for Quebec, where the Ste-Therese plant is scheduled to close next fall, leading to 1,100 peo- ple out of work. She’s said she intends to continue her efforts to find another use for the plant. She said she’s looking forward to her move but called her years in Canada the proudest of her career. “I am very excited about the new challenges of leading the Latin Amer- ica, Africa and Mid-East operations for General Motors Corp,” she said. “The dedicated men and women of GM of Canada have helped make the past seven-and-a-half years as presi- dent of GM of Canada the proudest and most enjoyable time of my ca- reer.” With Ms. Kempston Darkes’ pro- motion, Michael Grimaldi, 49, cur- rently GM vice-president and general manager of field sales, service and parts for North America, will become president of GM of Canada in the new year. He has also worked as a GM vice-president and vehicle line executive for full-size trucks. Ms. Kempston Darkes was ap- pointed president and general manag- er of GM of Canada in July 1994. After joining the GM of Canada legal staff in 1975, she moved up in jobs of responsibility in the legal and public policy areas with both the corporate legal staff in Detroit and at GM of Canada. She also worked in the trea- surer’s office in New York from 1985 to 1987. She was named GM of Canada vice-president of corporate affairs in 1991 and elected to its board of directors. She took on addi- tional duties as general counsel and secretary of GM of Canada in July 1992. In her current position, she also serves on the board of CAMI Auto- motive, GM’s joint venture in Canada with Suzuki Motor Corp. Mr. Grimaldi began his GM career in 1976 with the worldwide product planning staff in Detroit. He joined the corporate financial staff in 1978. In the 1980s, he worked in several planning and marketing positions at the former Fisher Body Division, the corporate comptroller’s staff, the for- mer Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac Group, the Pontiac and Oldsmobile divisions. In 1992, Mr. Grimaldi became fi- nance director for the North Ameri- can marketing operations, and a year later he was named executive director of North American Operations Plan- ning and a member of the NAO Strat- egy Board. The career moves were the result of the retirement May 1 of GM Group vice-president and president of GM Asia Pacific, Rudy Schlais. Ms. Kempston Darkes was born and raised in the Toronto area and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and law degree from the University of Toronto. She serves on a number of business and volunteer boards and has been awarded an Order of On- tario and is an officer of the Order of Canada.

At the home of the Kastelic family, the project launch took place to demonstrate the vehicles and carts. I was on hand to con- gratulate those in this pilot program area who are changing their habits in order to assess the three- stream system to collect or- ganics, recyclables and garbage. Durham Region offered to process more recycable materials in this pilot. With all organics including meat and bones, which are sent for composting, this sys- tem, so far, has diverted more than 70 per cent of residential waste from landfill. We can all do our part to ‘Ho, Ho, Hold the Waste’ during the festive season. The following will help you to green your gift-giv- ing and seasonal activities: • Ask for and give gifts from consignment shops, books from the library’s discard table, transit tick- ets, a donation to a charity, the gift of entertainment, a composter, the gift of time (baby-sitting, dog walking, a poem), and homemade pies, etc.; • Wrap gifts in cloth bags, towels, reusable gift bags, the comics and magazine pages, and last year’s Christmas paper. Potato chip bags turned inside out and rinsed also make a great wrapping; • Think energy conserva- tion when it comes to light- ing up the outside of your home; • Take your own cloth bags for shopping; • Purchase baking ingredi- ents from the bulk section of your supermarket. • Decorate your tree with homemade edible cookies such as gingerbread peo- ple, popcorn and cranberry strings, apple rings, and or- naments that will not break. When it comes time to remove decorations from the tree, you will have little to do. When putting away some of the Christmas morning clutter, think ‘reuse and recycle’. You will be surprised to see how much is not garbage. Instead of using a green garbage bag, put out sever- al boxes to gather recyca- bles. Decide which family member would like to be in charge of this most impor- tant task. You can save Christmas greeting cards to be reused as tags, or make them into little boxes, or cut them in half to be used as post cards for next year, or send to a day-care centre for crafts. You can also reuse ribbons and bows for next year. In a consumer-driven society, it is difficult to practice the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle); however, during the holiday season it’s easy and can save you money, too. Changing our habits is the hard part.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, December 19, 2001 PAGE 11 A/P Billboard December 19, 2001 Share a penny with Alzheimer Society DURHAM —The Alzheimer So- ciety of Durham Region is out to raise awareness of the disease through a number of events in the next two months.

Th e m all is a tough gig for Santa. Waiting on the reindeer, the elves, his helpers and of course,for the child on his lap to stop crying so the photographer can take their picture. Waiting in a long check-out line can take serious time. Although walking out with- out paying could cost you serious time (if you know what we mean).TIP:Shop online to avoid line-ups and embarrassing situations. Cooking a whole turkey takes time. It could be an afternoon endeavor (4-5 hours though some ovens may vary). But the real ticking time-bomb is whether the gravy boat makes it to you before it's empty. What's the deal with the shopping craze the day after Christmas? Maybe people just can't wait any longer to get the gift they really wanted. The mechanic suggests waiting 2 – 5 minutes for your car to warm up, though it'll probably take most of the ride before you feel warm. The city claims that the maximum wait for the snow plow is 2 hours. But then why does it always seem to arrive 2 minutes after you've just finished shoveling,only to dump heaps of snow back onto your driveway? There's Eastern Standard Time (EST),Pacific Standard Time (PST) and then there's the little-known Family Standard Time (FST). Which might explain why your parents always arrive an hour before you're ready even though they live in the same time zone. (EST) (PST) (FST) STO P WAITI NG. S TART S UR FI NG.

The Pickering Boyer Pontiac Pan- thers dropped their eighth one-goal game of the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League regular-season campaign Sunday night, this time to the Markham Waxers by a 3-2 overtime de- cision at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex. A wild goalmouth scramble after a 4- on-1 Waxers’ rush ended up in the Pan- thers’net, with the puck barely crossing the goal line. Jesse Boucher, with his second of the game, was credited with the OT winner at the 2:16 mark. As has been the case so many other times this season, the Panthers’ scoring dried up at precisely the wrong time. Despite several quality opportunities, Pickering could only put two pucks be- hind Markham goaltender Chris Lawrence on 29 shots. And, the chronic scoring troubles, es- pecially by the veteran forwards, is a continuing source of concern for Pan- thers head coach Bill Purcell. “No one is blowing us out, but we’re just not getting goals. We’ve got to get some of our guys taking charge and putting the puck in the net. It gets to you. Where are the vets and why aren’t they scoring? We’ve got a few veteran play- ers who we count on to score goals,” said Purcell. The lone point earned in the overtime loss kept the Panthers (11-17-2-2 for 26 points) tied for sixth place in the South Conference standings with the surging Oshawa Legionaires. The Panthers, however, have three games in hand on the Legionaires. After playing a scoreless first period, the game was tied 1-1 after 40 minutes. Before the third period was two minutes old, Boucher put Markham into a 2-1 lead. Less than two minutes later, Mike Hanna tied the game. One Panthers veteran who has been consistently filling the net is recently ac- quired forward Hanna. The newcomer, who had previously played for the Pan- thers, has three goals and three assists in three games since joining the team in a cash deal with the Couchiching Terriers of the league’s North Conference. Purcell praised the work of Kevin Kliman who was steady in the net, fac- ing 37 shots. “Kliman played well. He certainly deserved a better fate on Sunday,” said Purcell. Paul McFarland scored the other Panthers goal. Drawing assists were Alex Greig, Garett Winder and Dan Schofield. The Panthers host the Vaughan Vipers Friday night at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the juniors make the long trek to northern Ontario to play the North Conference’s Parry Sound Shamrocks. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:The Panthers have scheduled two makeup home dates from earlier in the season. Pickering plays Vaughan at the complex Wednesday, Jan. 2 and Oshawa Wednes- day, Jan. 9. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. Please recycle FAX Game results to News Advertiser newsroom 905-683-7363 Nothing like a tie for ChristmasPanthers left to one-der RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo AJAX —St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’Sydney Bookal stretches for the basket past two Pickering High School Trojans’defend- ers during Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics senior boys’basket- ball action. The Trojans won 60-45 at the Ajax school Monday afternoon. Trojans bounce Monarchs Jerome Forde leads Pickering High to big win AJAX —After a disheartening loss to the Dunbarton Spartans, the Pickering High School Trojans got back on track in a major way against the St. Mary Mon- archs Monday afternoon. The Trojans brought their ‘A’game to their home basketball court to pull off a mild 60-45 upset over the Monarchs and improve their Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) record to 2-1. And, they did it with a back-to-basics approach, said head coach Finbar Stra- chan. “We didn’t try to do anything special. I have a lot of kids who like to play for the crowd. But, we took whatever they gave us and we converted,” said Stra- chan, who added that, ironically, his charges were somewhat disenchanted with not putting on a “show” on their home court. “There wasn’t a lot of style with it, so they weren’t happy.” His charges, explained Strachan, ef- fectively took the Monarchs out of their system with long passes and quick in- bounds passes. “We didn’t give them any time to set up their press”. After being spanked by the defending LOSSA champion Spartans 74-65 last week, the Trojans were a despondent bunch for a few days following the loss, said Strachan. But, in the practices lead- ing up to the test against the Monarchs, the team’s intensity and positive attitude returned. “I think a lot of our guys rededicated themselves at the practices,” said Stra- chan. “Things weren’t going well for us after losing to Dunbarton, with some fin- ger pointing which was a little bit dis- turbing. I think a lot of our kids were down after the loss to Dunbarton, but with St. Mary coming in, they wanted to prove that it was just one game and we are one of the teams to beat in LOSSA.” Jerome Forde led the way for the Trojans with 22 points, followed by Navin Singh with 15. Dave Ferdinand netted 17 for the Monarchs, while Syd- ney Bookal and Jermaine Reid had eight and six, respectively. PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers Ontario Power Generation mite hockey team kept its unbeaten string alive by playing to a come- from-behind 2-2 tie with the Vaughan Rangers Sunday. The Panthers were riding an 11- game unbeaten string, dating back to Oct. 14, heading into Sunday’s match. In the early going, it appeared a loss was in the cards as Vaughan caught all the breaks initially — the first of which resulted in a goal. A Pickering player’s attempt to clear the zone up the boards caught the side of the net, took an odd bounce, ricocheted off a Panthers player’s skate and was re-di- rected into the goal. Near the end of the second period,Vaughan went up 2- 0. The turning point for the Panthers came on a Vaughan shot that got by Pickering goaltender Travis Quirk, coming to rest for what seemed like an eternity on the goal line. Anthony Gi- anfriddo swatted the puck away before the Rangers could poke it in. With 4.2 seconds left in the second, Gianfriddo, assisted by Davis Kuksis, got Pickering on the board. Just 16 seconds into the third period, Harrison Wood took a pass from Steven Conely, charged the Vaughan net and put one past the lanky Ranger netminder. Both teams played cautious defen- sive hockey the rest of the game. 4 Page Flyer in Today s Paper!

BUT ALL CARRY NEW WARRANTIES BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM ––‘People Get Ready,’ because Canadian country star Michelle Wright will soon be looking to sing for at least ‘One Good Man’ here in Durham. Those are among the songs the Nashville-based songbird might perform March 1 after the Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise asked her to headline its major annual fund-raiser. She’ll be joined by special guest, The Nylons. This is the third year for the concert, which features a dif- ferent artist every year. Fund-raising committee member Keith Williams said Wright, born in Chatham, Ont., is a great fit because she supports many of the same causes. “She’s often involved in hu- manitarian work and she sup- ports things like the Special Olympics movement for hand- icapped kids,” he said. “She raises money for vari- ous hospitals and other hu- manitarian things so actually her playing this concert for us is a nice fit.” She’s a young and vibrant singer who’s a great spokesman for charitable caus- es, Williams added. “We’re very pleased to be able to bring a performer like Michelle Wright to Durham because of her notoriety as a country and western singer across North America,” said Lorne Coe, chairman of the Whitby Sunrise Rotary Club fund-raising committee. Since Wright’s debut in 1986, she has had 25 top 10 hits in Canada including seven No. 1 singles. She has also received over 30 major music awards, among them the Canadian Country Music Association 2000 Female Artist of the Year. In 1997, she received the CCMA’s prestigious C.F. Mar- tin Humanitarian Award for her work with the Special Olympics, her fund-raising ef- forts for St. Joseph’s Hospital in her hometown of Chatham and her support of the Manito- ba flood relief fund. In 1998, she was the spokesman for the Sears Cana- da Young Futures program. “One of the reasons she’s coming to perform in Oshawa is her commitment to the work Rotary undertakes at a local level,” added Coe. “The money we raise from the concert will go directly into Durham Region commu- nity groups, such as the Sun- rise Youth Group for develop- mentally challenged young men and women, for our smart walker program and the elder- ly and all those programs she’s very much committed to.” Rotary provides services for a number of people in and outside of the community, such as helping with the cost of special fixtures in the homes of handicapped people, providing wheelchairs, send- ing children with HIV or AIDS to special camps, student ex- change projects and services in other countries. “If we don’t have a good in- come, we can’t help others,” said Ron Murdock, secretary of the club and committee chairman for challenged indi- viduals or people with special needs. The concert makes more money than the rest of the club’s fund-raising events put together. The two previous concerts both sold out and it’s hoped this one will as well, and earn the club $50,000 to spend on projects. “I’d like to encourage Durham residents to support the concert,” Murdock added. “The investment they would make in going to the concert would ensure groups such as the Sunrise Youth Group would be able to conduct their programming for another year.” The Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise will present Michelle Wright on Friday, March 1, 2002 at 7 p.m. in the Oshawa Civic Auditorium. Tickets are $45 each and can be purchased at the Civic box office or obtained by phoning Ticketmaster at 416- 870-8000.
