The Ajax resident is one of six ambassadors in the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board’s (WSIB) ‘Safety starts with you’ campaign. “I’m greatly honoured to be part of this campaign,” Mr. Smith said in an interview. The eight-week campaign began last week and features Mr. Smith and others in TV com- mercials and print advertisements. It’s a topic Mr. Smith knows all about. In 1986, while working in a Pickering factory, a piece of wood got into his right eye, leaving him virtually sightless. He was born without sight in his left eye. “Unfortunately, I hit myself in my right eye with wood. I had to have two major surgeries,” Mr. Smith said. “I was a janitor. It was a freak accident. I poked myself in my right eye, my Mr. Smith goes to work RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Ray Smith, who lost his sight after a work- place accident in 1986, is now campaigning for safe job sites. He already had no sight in one eye when the accident occurred. Eves vows to help cities, towns Tory leadership contender would allow issuance of ‘opportunity bonds’ BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM —A Conserv- ative government with Ernie Eves as premier would allow municipalities to raise money by issuing their own bonds, the Tory leadership candidate announced in Oshawa last Fri- day. At a luncheon hosted by Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette, Mr. Eves said he’s prepared to give municipalities the chance to offer “opportunity bonds” for projects such as roads, bridges and other measures to ease traffic gridlock and water and sewer infrastructure. He acknowledged munici- palities have been looking for new ways to raise money, over and above property taxes. “Opportunity bonds would be tax-free bonds for individ- uals who purchase them,” he said, adding he’d encourage the federal government to ex- empt returns on such bonds from federal income tax. Such bonds would bring about more municipal pro- jects and allow residents to in- vest in their own communi- ties, he said. He noted that in the United States, more than 50,000 state and local govern- ments issue their own bonds and about $1.3 trillion in bonds have been issued. “I believe it can be just as effective right here in On- tario,” Mr. Eves said. If he is elected Conserva- tive leader and premier, he’d consult with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario Morning blaze forces family out of home Floodlight blamed for igniting fire AJAX —A fire caused by a floodlight left near com- bustible material has forced a family out of their north Ajax home until repairs are done. The fire at 75 Marshall Cres. began just before 9 a.m. Monday and caused more than $100,000 in damage. Thom Evered of Ajax Fire and Emergency Services said the cause was “accidental. A floodlight was left too close to combustibles.” The blaze began in the garage area, but spread to the second floor and into the attic, he added. The owners, a husband and wife, were home at the time and they managed to escape safely, Mr. Evered noted. “No- body was hurt, everybody got out OK.” He added there were work- ing smoke alarms in the house. In addition to structural damage, a vehicle in the garage and one in the driveway were destroyed. There was also minor damage to the roof and siding of the house next door, at 73 Marshall. The inhabitants are staying with family. “They’ll be out of the house for a while,” Mr. Evered added. A.J.

MP’s plans land in Pickering Collenette suggests new airport could be here in 10-13 years BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Jets could be taking off and landing in north Pickering within the next 13 years. Federal Transport Minister David Collenette, in announc- ing Toronto’s City Centre Air- port expansion will not fly, made the comments Monday, bringing an airport on federal- ly-owned lands in north Pick- ering closer to takeoff, while ruffling the feathers of at least one local citizens’ group. “The minister has not been honest,” said Stephen Freder- ick, president of Voters Orga- nized to Cancel the Airport Lands (VOCAL). “He’s traded off the interest of the people of Pickering for those in (Toron- to), it’s to hell with the people in Pickering.” Mr. Collenette said a rapid transit line between Union Sta- tion in Toronto and Pearson In- ternational Airport, along with the development of an airport in north Pickering, would be enough to effectively eliminate the need for Toronto City Cen- tre Airport (formerly island air- port) sparing Toronto the envi- ronmental impacts of its ex- pansion. While he used “2012, 2015” as a timeline for the new local airport, last April he said AT A GLANCE Hawley rides into Pickering tomorrow PICKERING —A local service club plans to horse around with a legend at its meeting tomorrow.

Gillian Hadley, murdered in her Pickering home by her es- tranged husband Ralph Hadley and now the subject of a coro- ner’s inquest. Two other cases, currently before the courts, involving murdered women.. Within the last three years, four women in Ajax and Picker- ing have been murdered. Admitting there is a problem that needs immediate solutions, Pickering councillors are preparing to lead the fight for the creation of a Durham Re- gional Police Service domestic violence unit after passing a motion Monday night request- ing police address the issue with a trained team of officers. “I moved to Pickering be- cause it was a safe community, I no longer feel that way,” said local resident Brenda Mignardi, while urging council to adopt the motion. “Would a domestic violence unit help? The officers I’ve spoken to say ‘yes’... we need to take up this challenge.” Armed with staggering num- bers from a 1993 Statistics Canada survey of 12,300 Cana- dian women that claim one out Pickering ‘takes up the challenge’ Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership hopeful Ernie Eves greets supporter Cynthia Steffen at a Durham luncheon.

The federal department of health delivers health care only to aboriginals. The provinces have the responsibility of delivering health care services to real people in real towns - hos- pitals, doctors, nurses ... that is our responsibility and that is where the real dollars should be,” he said. When asked to respond to Mr. Flaherty’s remarks Tuesday morning, a spokesman for the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation said the band “didn’t wish to dignify his comments with any kind of a response.” In a statement issued later Monday, Mr. Flaherty said his comments were designed to point out the federal government should “redirect its resources to- wards actual health care services and away from a bloated bureau- cracy” which would benefit all Canadians, including First Na- tions’people. “I have always had positive and mutually respectful relation- ship with them,” he said of abo- riginal communities in Ontario. His remarks have led to calls for his resignation from opposition leaders. Mike McGuire, presi- dent of the Ontario Metis Abo- riginal Association, said he knows Mr. Flaherty’s comments were misinterpreted, adding the leadership candidate is “a friend to aboriginal communities across Ontario.” Mr. Flaherty was minister re- sponsible for native affairs when he served as attorney-general. –– WITH TORSTAR FILES JIM FLAHERTY ‘I apologize if I have offended anyone in any way.’ PICKERING —Education Minister Janet Ecker is hosting a reception tonight in Pickering for Tory leadership candidate Ernie Eves. The Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MPP supports Mr. Eves, the former finance minis- ter, in his bid to become the next party leader and Ontario premier. Premier Mike Harris an- nounced last fall he was resign- ing as premier. The event takes place at Gal- lantry’s Banquet Hall at the Pick- ering Town Centre, located at the southeast corner of Liverpool and Kingston roads, and runs be- tween 6:30 and 8 p.m. Admission is free and there will be a cash bar. Call 416-318- 8307 for more information. Janet Ecker hosts contender Eves wants to bond with cities on the bonds, he said. Mayor Nancy Diamond, who attended the luncheon, said the idea is “a very inter- esting possibility. “I think the fact they would be tax-free to the purchaser would create an interest and open up more money to mu- nicipalities,” she said. Municipalities have been begging for such opportunities for years, she noted. That Mr. Eves is aware of this and is willing to consult with municipalities is good, she added. During his speech, Mr. Eves, one of five candidates for the provincial Tory leader- ship, also touched on local is- sues, including the cancer centre and courthouse. The Health Ministry is con- ducting a review of Lakeridge Health Corporation’s — it has five hospital sites in east and north Durham — finances in terms of the massive capital expansion at the Oshawa site. The Progressive Conserva- tive government has indicated its financial support for the cancer centre, part of that ex- pansion. Mr. Eves said as premier, he’d read the review results as soon as they’re available “so we can make decisions quick- ly and get on with the job”. As to the courthouse, promised to Oshawa by the former NDP government and now subject to a request-for- proposal project open to all Durham municipalities, Mr. Eves said he “is committed to fairness in the RFP process.” In a media interview after his speech, he said politics shouldn’t enter into the process, which should be “open and transparent. “You aren’t always going to be able to make people happy. Things aren’t always going where they think it should go.” But everyone can support a fair, open process even if they don’t win, he said. NANCY DIAMOND Opportunity bonds ‘a very interesting possibility.’ EVES from page A1 DURHAM —Local parents who want their children to become fluent in French can learn more about the public school board’s French immersion (FI) program Wednesday, Jan. 30. That’s when FI information and registration nights take place at the 11 Durham District School Board el- ementary schools offering the pro- gram. The meetings take place at 7 p.m. at each school. French immersion instruction be- gins in Grade 1 and continues through high school. The program is designed for parents who do not have a French background but want their kids to become fluent in both of Canada’s official languages. The program teaches the same curriculum as those in the regular courses, but French is the language of instruction. After elementary school, FI students take 10 French courses in high school, and at pro- gram’s end a student should be well prepared to converse in French, take French-language university or col- lege courses, or work or live in a French-speaking environment. The following schools are hold- ing FI information nights: Pickering: Frenchman’s Bay and Sir John A. Macdonald public schools. Ajax: Cadarackque and South- wood Park public schools. Whitby: Captain Michael Van- denBos and Florence M. Heard pub- lic schools. Oshawa: Walter E. Harris and T.R. McEwen public schools. Scugog: R.H. Cornish Public School. Brock: H.W. Knight Public School. Uxbridge: Uxbridge Public School. Registration looms for French immersion students Bounced cheque leads police to pot lab PICKERING —A bad cheque led police to a Rosebank Road resi- dence and the 21st marijuana grow- ing operation unearthed in Durham since November. Durham Regional Police said the landlord went to check on the resi- dence Sunday after a rent cheque re- turned NSF. The landlord alerted police after finding the house insecure and spot- ting marijuana plants growing in- side. Durham’s drug enforcement unit obtained a warrant to search the res- idence and uncovered a large hydro- ponics growing operation. Police seized 700 pot plants with a street value of $250,000 and growing equipment. No one was in the home at the time and officers are looking for a suspect.

YR.WAR. BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Local stu- dents may be struggling with the new math curriculum, but the Province’s higher learning expectations will pay off down the road, says a local educator. Bev Freedman, the Durham District School Board’s pro- grams’ superintendent, was commenting in an interview after she released, in the agenda for Monday night’s board meeting, school-by-school re- sults of the first, provincewide math assessment of Grade 9 students. The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) administered the test last year to 4,810 Durham public school students. “I’ve spoken to lots of par- ents whose kids have been dis- couraged and find (math) too challenging,” she said after Monday’s school board meet- ing. “In the long run, the changes have been good changes, but in the short run they’ve been painful for every- one.” Ms. Freedman said as stu- dents and teachers become more accustomed to the new curriculum, the test results should improve. However she and other educators around On- tario are advising the Province that the Grade 9 applied math curriculum needs to be altered. “I’m not worried about the academic program; I think we can do better,” said Ms. Freed- man. “I believe the applied pro- gram is just too difficult.” Students at 18 board high schools, a total of 3,331 acade- mic and 1,479 applied Grade 9 pupils, wrote last year’s test in January, May or June. The board’s overall score saw 43 per cent of academic students meet the provincial standard of a ‘B’ grade or better, while 10 per cent of applied students made the grade. Academic courses are more theory-based, intended for stu- dents who plan to go on to post- secondary studies, while ap- plied courses are more focused on practical applications. Stu- dents in each stream are taught different curricula and take dif- ferent tests, although some ele- ments are common to both. The board results show that a higher percentage of Whitby students achieved the provin- cial standard. At Sinclair Sec- ondary School, 75 per cent of academic and 27 per cent of ap- plied students, in both cases the highest percentage at any school, met or surpassed the standard. Ms. Freedman said the board intends to look more closely at schools where the highest percentage of applied students met the provincial standard to determine why that was the case. The EQAO also provided boards with a percent- age of students who passed the test, to clearly indicate that not meeting the provincial standard does not mean a student failed. At Central Collegiate in Os- hawa, for instance, 19 per cent of academic students met the standard, the lowest percentage at any school. However seven out of every 10 of those stu- dents passed the test. Similarly, in the applied stream, 10 per cent of the pupils at Pickering’s Pine Ridge Secondary School met the standard, but 63 per cent passed. Board-wide, 85 per cent of academic and 59 per cent of ap- plied students passed the test.

The provincial standard is Level 3, which is 70 to 79 per cent.The results include students who did not write the test or for whom no data was recorded. There were different tests for academic and applied students, although some elements were common. The first number in each column is the percentage of students who met Level 3 standards, followed after the slash by the percentage of pupils who recorded an overall passing grade.

But, Mr. Frederick wants to know why Pickering will not be spared the larger environmental impact of building a new airport from the ground up. “If the planes and the pollution are not acceptable to anyone in Toronto, they’re not going to be acceptable to anyone in Pickering,” he said. “There’s little consideration for the taxpayers here.” However, Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said this latest announcement is “not a new scenario” for the Pickering airport and local MP Dan McTeague agreed. “This is not new, not more specific (about timelines for the building of an airport in Pickering), and it’s not news as far as Pickering is concerned,” the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP said. “No determination to build an airport has been made.” Mr. McTeague said the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), which is just beginning to put together a Pickering advisory committee to dis- cuss the possibilities and needs for an airport in the city, will make a determi- nation by 2005 of whether or not the air- port will become a reality. And, even then, not without environ- mental impact studies, community in- volvement and an assessment of an air- port’s viability, will any shovels be slic- ing soil. However, for Mr. Frederick the question of the need for an air- port in Pickering is a simple one. “We never said never build an airport in Pick- ering. If there’s a need for an air- port in Pickering then build it,” he said. “With the is- land airport working at 20-per cent capacity, Buttonville at 40- per cent capacity and Hamilton at 40 per cent, there is no need.” He also wor- ries about what conclusions the GTAA may reach. “The GTAA is in the business of building airports. What do you think their report is going to say?” he asked. However, Mr. McTeague said the GTAA is a non-profit organi- zation developing strategies for air- ports across the Greater Toronto Area and is com- mitted to using up existing airport capacity before breaking ground in Pickering. “Mr. Freder- ick says there isn’t a need for an airport in Picker- ing and he’s ab- solutely right,” said Mr. McTeague, adding, “It does- n’t preclude a need for an air- port down the road.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 23, 2002 Airport comments ‘show little consideration’for Pickering: Frederick AIRPORT from page A1 STEPHEN FREDERICK ‘If the planes and pollution are not acceptable to anyone in Toronto, they’re not going to be acceptable to anyone in Pickering.’ YMCA has plenty to offer AJAX —The local YMCA of- fers a host of programs to help take the chill out of winter.

That includes training at both the police academy and once an officer joins the Durham force. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean, a former Toronto police offi- cer, agreed. “I’ve seen the hurt and the pain that comes out of domestic violence,” he said. “Domestic violence is an ugly business... we need to design funds specifically for this type of unit.” Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan, while supporting the motion, said he’d like it to be even stronger. He said Pickering’s representatives at the Region should become “advo- cates and evangelists” for the cause.

Sears Canada Inc. when you put it on your Sears Card Plea entered in connection to hepatitis B cases DURHAM —A neurol- ogist who recently settled the largest medical mal- practice suit in Canadian history after his diagnostic clinics, including one in Ajax, exposed 14,000 peo- ple to the hepatitis B virus, has pleaded not guilty to charges of professional misconduct. Dr. Ronald Wilson en- tered his plea Monday at the start of a five-week dis- ciplinary hearing of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, the regulatory body of the province’s doctors. The hearing began with public health inspectors testifying they discovered infection control measures were lax when they visited his Scarborough office in early 1996. About 14,000 Ontario patients received an elec- troencephalogram (EEG) at one of six clinics Dr. Wilson ran in the Toronto areas between 1990 and 1996. Up to 1,000 people were infected and at least one person died after receiving an EEG. Dr. Wilson has denied any wrongdoing. A public health investigation in 1996 linked the outbreak to Dr. Wilson’s technician, Nicholas Kyprianou, who later tested positive for he- patitis B. Yesterday Lynn Richardson, a senior health inspector with the then- Scarborough public health department, testified pub- lic health first confronted Dr. Wilson in mid-January 1996, when three cases of acute hepatitis B were linked to his Scarborough clinic. When Ms. Richardson told Dr. Wilson of the cases she knew of, she said she discovered Dr. Wilson knew of three other cases that he hadn’t reported. Dr. Wilson started doing blood tests on patients but didn’t tell them they were being tested for hepatitis B, Ms. Richardson testi- fied. At that point, the public health department launched its own investiga- tion. — TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE good eye, with wood. “I’m not hopeless. I have had great family to support me.” He’s “extremely short- sighted” in his right eye. “There’s nothing in front. I need a white cane,” Mr. Smith noted. “In a familiar area, I’m not too bad, but I do have my accidents.” Before his workplace in- jury, Mr. Smith could read, but not drive. “I loved to do puzzles. It was a great hobby of mine. I can’t do them now. I have to do other things.” He learned computer skills through the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and the WSIB and had a job with an insurance com- pany, working in a call centre doing customer service and di- versity training. “I was down- sized. Now I have a great op- portunity to be part of this cam- paign. I can give my heart, soul and passion on this great cam- paign,” he said. With time to help, Mr. Smith said, “I can stand behind people hurt at work or as an awareness campaign.” The WSIB “helped me out in my travels. There was a lot of support for my family, friends and co- workers,” he noted. Mr. Smith also credited his wife Sigrid and children, Michelle, 21, and Brian, 19. “The three have been excel- lent support,” he said, adding his children are in university and college. “They’re off doing schooling, but they look after me and my wife.” A WSIB commercial will air soon, show- ing the “daily life of Ray Smith, getting up, riding the GO train and fighting traffic. I speak about workplace safe- ty,” he said. He’s still looking for work and said his in- volvement with the WSIB cam- paign could lead to a job. “It’s a possi- bility. The com- munity has pro- vided me with a lot of great skills and confidence. I want to repay that to the community,” he added. There’s greater concern for job safety these days, he pointed out. “There’s more awareness now. In the past, maybe there wasn’t. Most compa- nies have a health and safe- ty committee,” Mr. Smith noted. One aim of the campaign is to have “people stand up and ask ‘is my workplace safe?’ People are getting more aware of safety in the workplace,” he said. He’s also willing to come and speak to any group or company about his experience and workplace safety. He can be reached at 905-683-8369.

The Progressive Conservative premier has cut corporate taxes, kept down the minimum wage, weakened unions and is always telling business how worthwhile it is compared to public sector layabouts. Mr. Harris is well-known also for his concern about organized crime and brought in the first law of its kind that will enable him to ask civil courts to seize property they suspect has been obtained through unlawful activity, even if its owner has not been convicted of a criminal offence. Business should have felt an obligation to do something in re- turn, and ought to have wanted to make its contribution to law and order anyway, when 400 members and associates of the Hells Angels assembled in Toronto to celebrate the banner year they have had. No one can have any doubt as to what the Hells Angels are. They have been established in North America for decades and commit thefts, drug-trafficking, extortion, loan-sharking, prostitution, beat- ings and murders when it suits them. Police have said often they are the best organized criminals, have killed scores of rivals and at least one innocent bystander in a strug- gle for control of crime in Quebec, and by taking over lesser gangs, have grown in the past year from only two members to the biggest crime group in Ontario. The Hells Angels met in one of the biggest downtown hotels to cel- ebrate their extraordinary year of expansion, trying to look like a ser- vice club proudly marking a suc- cessful membership drive. Their main aim in coming was to launder their image, try to appear respectable and lull the public into a false sense of security as to who they really are. They hope to be accepted, as they said in a statement sent out by their media spokesman, as “a mo- torcycle club” whose members like to hold conventions and enjoy themselves like other citizens. They also wanted to send a mes- sage to rival gangs they have ar- rived and are the dominant force and assert a presence in the down- town area of theatres, restaurants and bars where the event was held, probably as a first step to demand- ing ‘protection’ money from busi- nesses there. With so many Hells Angels gathered, it would have been natur- al if they used the opportunity to plot more crimes, just as any busi- ness convention would plan next year’s sales. The ludicrous Toronto mayor, Mel Lastman, shaking hands with a man in a Hells Angel jacket and claiming he did not know he was an Angel, overshadowed everything else that went on, but a more seri- ous concern should be that busi- nesses did virtually nothing to hin- der the Angels in achieving their goals. The bikers sent out an ad- vance notice promising local busi- nesses could rake in a big econom- ic spinoff from their visit. It was al- most like the Shriners were coming to town. The hotel seemed delighted to have them as guests and the only disapproval it showed was in throwing out news media who had the bad manners to question them about their real motives. Police, who were powerless to arrest Angels unless they could be seen committing a crime, which was highly unlikely because they came to show a false facade of being law-abiding citizens, at least tried to harass them. Cops pointed to their undesirability by asking the hotel and restaurants and bars not to serve them if they were wearing Angels jackets. But the hotel and almost all the other establishments refused. Some put up signs proclaiming ‘Wel- come, Hells Angels’and an associ- ation representing 150 businesses in the area explained the bikers’ money was as good as anybody’s. None of the many business groups that pop up often making proposals for benefiting society and their own members were seen deploring businesses welcoming criminals with open arms. This sort of thing has happened before. When several hundred Hells Angels held a meeting in Kenora last summer, motels gave them discounted corporate rates, a store displayed a sign saying ‘Wel- come, bikers’ and the mayor said they are customers and it is hard to turn them down. Does business care about nothing but making a few bucks? Hells, it’s all about the money Businesses ignore Harris crime agenda, turn blind eye to Angels Jim Flaherty has built a legal and political career around being an honest, straight-shooting, hard-working person. The Whitby-Ajax MPP, who has shot up the Queen’s Park ladder in less than seven years from the backbenches to fi- nance minister and deputy premier, put his foot in it Monday. In the midst of a five-way battle to replace outgoing Premier Mike Harris, the local contender castigated the feds for pro- viding health care only to aboriginals while the Province “has the responsibility of delivering health care to real people in real towns”. Mr. Flaherty’s terrible choice of words caused a pre- dictable reaction. When asked to respond to his remarks, a spokesman for the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation in north Durham said Tuesday morning the band “didn’t wish to dig- nify his comments with any kind of a response”. Charles Fox, vice-chairman of the Assembly of First Na- tions of Ontario, said, “If we’re not real people, I have a real problem with that.” Mr. Flaherty said he was “deeply saddened” by what he called a misinterpretation of his remarks. But his choice of words, for some at least, suggests he doesn’t consider aborig- inals real people. In a release he made it clear this is not at all what he means. He received some assistance from Mike McGuire, presi- dent of the Ontario Metis Aboriginal Association, who had some dealings with Mr. Flaherty when the latter spent 18 months as attorney general and was responsible in Ontario for native affairs. Mr. Flaherty is “a friend to aboriginal communities across Ontario”, said Mr. McGuire. The dispute behind the unfortunate misstatement is deadly serious for all Canadians. The ongoing battle between the provinces and the federal government over the funding of medicare has led to an almost constant verbal war between Ontario and Ottawa. On numerous occasions over many years, Mr. Harris, for- mer finance minister Ernie Eves, current health minister Tony Clement and before him Elizabeth Witmer, have gone to war with Prime Minister Jean Chretien, Finance Minister Paul Martin, former health minister Allan Rock and current Health Minister Anne McClellan. Mr. Flaherty was merely suggest- ing the fed is not funding its share of health care. With about an 85-15 split in provincial-federal funding, Mr. Flaherty is saying what many have said across Canada: the feds cannot continue to underfund our most critical service; that the sys- tem is unsustainable unless Ottawa puts much more money in. Mr. Flaherty poorly stated this theme Monday, appearing insensitive to native peoples. For that he has apologized. It’s time to move on. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 23, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Overcrowding causes problems To the editor: Re: ‘Teen arrested after school shooting,’Jan. 13. The time has come for the Min- istry of Education to stop hiding its head in the sand over the question of our desperately underfunded and overcrowded schools — before somebody gets killed. There has been another incident involving a gun and a student at Pickering High School, a school that is bursting at the seams — with 24 portables and approximately 1,850 students. Overcrowding (with no relief in sight) means the school has to operate on a five-peri- od day. Overworked administration and teaching staff, plus an equally stressed and under-funded police force are desperately trying to watch hallways and behind porta- bles, washrooms, change rooms and around corners in a school where literally hundreds of stu- dents are on spares at any given time. If you cram too many people into a house, a soccer stadium, a jail or a school, you have a recipe for violence. Then make most of them adolescents, throw in a few race issues, and take away extracur- ricular activities for three years so that the sense of community is fur- ther undermined, and you have an explosive situation. The school is doing its level best. I have nothing but respect for the administration and staff work- ing in this difficult environment. The police are doing their best as well. And the board has its hands tied because of the government’s ridiculous funding formula that treats schools like businesses and refuses to recognize these are not machines or ‘products’. They are our children, our future, the boys and girls we love. And somebody is going to get hurt. Education Minister Janet Ecker and Premier Mike Harris, the solu- tion is in your hands. Your Safe Schools Act is worthless under these conditions. Mary Delaney, Brougham Council was behind public schools To the editor: Re: ‘Time to take stand for smaller schools,’ Dec. 24, and ‘Speak up and save Valley View,’Jan. 2, letters to the editor. I can assure you that I, along with council, took a stand for Val- ley View and Valley Farm public schools. In addition to speaking with parents of students and attend- ing the public meeting at the Greenwood Community Centre, arranged by parents, I can also ad- vise you of the following actions I took to support these schools: 1. Notices of motion dated Aug. 7 and Nov. 19, 2001: both moved by myself supporting the addition to Valley Farm and having Valley View remain open, respectively. Council unanimously approved these motions; 2. My letters to Grant Yeo, the director of education, and all Durham District School Board trustees dated Oct. 31 and Dec. 6, 2001 supporting Valley View and Valley Farm; and 3. A statement prepared by my- self to the public board and trustees regarding the proposed accommo- dation plan and their meeting of Dec. 10, 2001. I provided this state- ment as my request to make a dele- gation was denied by the board. I also attended the Dec. 10 meeting. The above documents and ac- tions show that I, along with other members of council, was involved and in support of Valley View and Valley Farm public schools.

Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com The way we were Audley Church The inns of Pickering Village were rather subdued in comparison to that of Audley, which became rather un- ruly on the weekends. Men came from miles around to partake in football and horse racing, as well as whiskey. When John Nattress, a circuit rider from Markham, wit- nessed the events in Audley he set about establishing a more religious presence. The first church in the hamlet (pictured above) was built in the 1860s on land donated by William and Jane Bell and was located on the north side of Taunton Road, just east of Audley Road. A struc- ture attached to the right was an open shed for shelter- ing horses during services and meetings. The original wooden building was torn down in 1957 and replaced with the church that stands there today.

Sheffield United Blades striker Paul Peschisolido has sat out the club’s last two English First Division games, owing to a ligament injury to his big toe. The injury wouldn’t allow him to suit up for a big clash with Manchester City — the current First Division leaders — resulting in a 3-1 loss for the Blades. “I’ve been out two games; I’m hop- ing to be back Saturday, but I doubt it. It could be a week more,” Peschisoli- do said in a telephone interview from his Birmingham, England home. “It’s very frustrating being injured coming into the new year. There was a big crowd at the Manchester City game of 27,000 and it would have been a great game to play in. I’m disappointed, but it’s part of sport. They (injuries) just seem to come when everything is going right for me.” Just prior to his injury, the 30-year- old striker scored five goals in five games, emerging as one of the club’s key offensive threats after being brought on board in a cash deal with his previous team — Fulham Football Club of the English Premier Division — just prior to the start of the season last July. Leaving Fulham, noted Peschisoli- do, has jump-started his football ca- reer as his new club and the fans that pile into Bramall Lane field to watch Sheffield United have embraced him wholeheartedly. After four solid seasons with Ful- ham, which saw the club graduate from a downtrodden Second Division squad to the First Division during that time, the future held great promise for the Canadian striker to eventually play with Fulham as they made the big leap into the English Premier League — the top football league in the land. Peschisolido’s relationship with the club, however, soured after Fulham manager Kevin Keegan left the club and was replaced with Jean Tigana in the summer of 2000 following Ful- ham’s promotion to the Premier level. Relegated to the periphery, Peschisolido was loaned to three teams through the course of the 2000/01 season. He was first sent to the Queen’s Park Rangers of the Eng- lish First Division in November 2000. He was further loaned out to Sheffield United on a two-month basis, but was returned to Fulham in March after a long-term deal couldn’t be worked out. Finally, he was sent to Norwich City of the English First Division in March. “When the new manager, Jean Tigana, came in, I found out I wasn’t in his plans, which was disappointing. I was finally going to get a chance to get to the Premiership, but I was not part of his plans,” noted Peschisolido.

S., Ajax • 905-619-8875 ++ We Pay The We Pay The TAXTAX Limited time onlyLimited time only Pickering reps come up just short of Don Mills tourney title PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers Sheridan Dental minor pee- wee ‘AA’ rep hockey team fell just short of a title at the Don Mills Flyers Invitational tournament. The Panthers came close to earn- ing their third consecutive tourna- ment win of the season, dropping a 3- 2 decision to the Scarborough Young Bruins in the final of the prestigious Christmas tournament held at Victo- ria Village Arena. The peewees fell behind 3-0 early in the second period before making it close on their way to a silver medal. Kevin Prebble was outstanding in goal, stopping 24 shots. Scoring were Matt Miller and Nicholas Johnston, while Travis Hendry and Shawn Wat- son drew assists. The Panthers defeated league ri- vals Newmarket Redmen 3-1 in an exciting semifinal contest. James Balsdon was spectacular in goal. Miller, Ian Doherty and Johnston scored. Adam Morra, Craig Watters, Kyle Ramsay, John Paterson and Do- herty assisted. In round-robin play, the Panthers needed a victory against an undefeat- ed Toronto Royals team to advance to the semis. The Royals had not allowed a goal in the tourney until the Panthers took it to them with a 7-0 victory where Pickering needed to win every period to advance. Ryan Lamanna and John- ston notched two goals each, and Michael Hurl, Chris Paul and Pater- son added singles. Assisting were Ramsay with two, and Michael Mayne, Morra, Paul, Watson, Wat- ters, Hendry, Miller, Johnston, Hurl, Doherty and Paterson. Prebble earned the shutout. The Panthers also tied the York Toros 2-2 and lost a close one to the Hillcrest Summits 4-3. Against the Toros, Watson and Ramsay scored, with Ramsay, Hendry and Paul assist- ing. Against Hillcrest, Paul, with two, and Johnston scored; while Paterson, Doherty, Hendry and Watson earned assists. As injuries mount, Pickering has company in standings BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A flurry of injuries left the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers junior ‘A’hockey squad extremely vulnerable in an important home-and-home series with the Markham Waxers last weekend. The Waxers took full advantage of the depleted Panthers’ roster, earning a 7-4 vic- tory in Markham Friday night and then clos- ing out the weekend Sunday evening by ad- ministering a 9-4 thumping to the Panthers in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’Hock- ey League play at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The two losses all but took the Panthers (16-20-5-2 for 39 points) out of the race for third place with the Waxers (23-17-4-1 for 51 points) in the South Conference stand- ings. Instead, the losses allowed the Thorn- hill Rattlers and the Vaughan Vipers to pull into a fourth-place tie with the Panthers who’ve now dropped their last three contests after an eight-game unbeaten streaked ended last weekend. Friday’s opener saw the Panthers without forward Scott Oldfield due to a shoulder in- jury. In the early going, however, Pickering also lost forward Colin Jennings (elbow) and defenceman Alex Greig (back). None of the players returned for Sunday’s game. The injuries, noted Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell, left his roster too short-handed to play with any kind of effectiveness against a full-strength Markham squad. “If you don’t have the bodies to play with them, things are going to break down. You can’t play with three lines in this league. You can do it for a while, but all of the sud- den it catches up with you,” said Purcell. As witnessed by giving up 16 goals, the defensive zone coverage was nothing short of atrocious. His charges’ inability to play good man-to-man defence in their own zone is something that will have to be addressed with the playoffs looming. “Some of these guys just weren’t playing tough enough in our own end,” said Purcell. “Our guys just stopped going man on man. It was a complete breakdown.” The poor defensive coverage meant the Panthers goaltenders saw plenty of rubber, with Scott Gray facing 51 shots Sunday and Kevin Kliman facing 41 Friday. The short-staffed Panthers played two solid periods before imploding in the third stanza of Sunday’s game. With the game tied 4-4 after 40 minutes, the Waxers burned the hosts for five unanswered goals in the third. Paul McFarland, Mike Alexiou, Brent Chandler and Mitch Hugli scored. Mike Hanna drew two assists, while Kyle Aitken, Alexiou, McFarland and Garret Winder each added one. On Friday, the game was tied 3-3 midway through the second period before the Wax- ers scored two more later in the frame to take a 5-3 lead. Markham outscored Picker- ing 2-1 in the third. Hanna notched a hat trick, while Scott Mitchell netted the other. Assisting were Winder with three, Sean Bradley, McFar- land, Dan Schofield and Aitken. The Panthers play a gruelling three- games-in-three-days schedule this weekend. They host the Vipers Friday at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. On Satur- day night, the juniors are in Toronto for a game against the North York Rangers at 7:30 p.m. and finish the weekend in Ajax against the Axemen Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT: The Pan- thers have six games remaining in the regu- lar-season schedule. 3-x-50 Ajax Minor Hockey P PAGE B2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 23, 2002 He added, with some bitterness, Tigana had “never even watched me play. I was discouraged, to say the least.” Now, the diminutive striker couldn’t be happier with his new football life in Sheffield United. “I was delighted to go from Fulham to a place where I would be wel- comed and I would have fun playing football again. I love it here,” he said. “They have a great bunch of lads here. There’s still a possibility of getting to the playoffs. We need to get on a good run like we have been re- cently.” With Sheffield United, Peschisolido has emerged as one of the veteran lead- ers of an otherwise inex- perienced club, currently in the middle of the pack with a record of 8-11-9 for 35 points. His role as a leader and mentor is one he has relished. “I’ve been here for 10 years, so I’m one of the older players on the team. It’s fun for me to set an example for the younger players,” he said. One of the highlights of the current season was scoring two goals in a 4-0 win over another former club, Birmingham City, back in November. Inci- dentally, his wife, Karren Brady, is the managing di- rector of the Birmingham club, so the matchup made for headlines in the English press. “It has made for good reading,” he said. “I scored two goals against them earlier this season and it filled the newspa- pers. We all had a good laugh.” Ironically, Peschisoli- do met Brady while play- ing for Birmingham City in 1996. They later made the news internationally after his wife dealt him to another First Division team, West Bromwich Al- bion, later that season. In addition to playing in England, Peschisolido has been a steady per- former with the Canadian national team, with 44 in- ternational caps as a strik- er for Canada. He noted with pride that playing for Canada is an honour. “As long as the manag- er picks me, I would like to play for Canada. I’m proud to be Canadian, but sometimes it can be very difficult because the (Eu- ropean clubs) pay your wages and sometimes it’s difficult to leave,” he said. Peschisolido had been invited to play for Canada in the upcoming Gold Cup 2002 in Miami and Pasadena Jan. 18 to Feb. 2. He elected to turn down the invitation, however, owing to his current in- jury. He expects to continue his English football career until at least the age of 35. At that time, he’s hoping to return to Canada with his young family (Paul and Karren have two chil- dren — daughter Sophia, five, and son Paolo, three). “We would like to set- tle back in Canada where I could share my experi- ences with younger play- ers, either through coach- ing or running soccer schools.” Injured toe keeps Peschisolido out of Gold Cup tourney INJURED from page B1 Panthers hurt by two losses MIKE HANNA Scores a hat trick in Friday’s 7-4 loss to Markham Waxers.

There was a time when waxing a car was a long and tedious process which meant a great deal of rubbing and buffing. This is no so today. Advances in product composition have produced shampoos and waxes that are easy to apply and just as easy to buff into a corrosion-resisting shine. Industry insiders insist that regular washing and waxing will not only keep your car looking better as it fights the ravages of winter, but this type of care will also boost the resale value of the vehicle as well. Tips for washing & waxing • Using a water hose, spray away loose dirt, paying special attention to areas splashed by the wheels, where road grime tends to accumulate. Then, using a soft cloth or a washing mitt, shampoo all the surfaces. • Wash in sections, but not in direct sunlight. This can cause uneven drying and leave unwanted spots and streaks. Using too much soap can also produce the same result. To get it right every time, use a dispenser that ejects just the right amount of liquid soap, like Prestone’s Bullet Wash. This shampoo is also specially-formulated to be gentle to the paint and bodywork. Ordinary detergents often dull the finish and reduce the shine. •Dry the vehicle thoroughly, again with a dry soft cloth, and then use an easy-to-apply wax finish. Be sure to reach all corners and seams where winter salt and dirt may be trapped. There are wax products available with detachable applicators especially for this. Look for Prestone’s Bullet Wax. It easily reaches all car corners and then buffs up to a high gloss finish.

The country and western crooner from Ajax was invited to play in the land of the royals where he will per- form at shows spread between Wey- mouth and Lancaster, England, from Feb. 20 to 27. Lariviere was invited to perform in jolly old England at the behest of Allan Hines, the manager and direc- tor of Blue Diamond Records. Lariv- iere said he met the Englishman sev- eral years ago at an awards show in Tennessee, but had forgotten the meeting until last month when he was asked to travel to England for the shows. “Someone asked me at the recent show if I had ever been across the ocean. I told him that I had never been across Niagara Falls,” said Lar- iviere, who’s been churning out tradi- tional country and western records since 1997. Lariviere’s latest musical effort ‘Skid Row #2’ was released last Oc- tober. He recorded the music at Ambas- sador Records in Oshawa with a group of his musical friends, includ- ing principal songwriter Roy Payne. One cut on the album, ‘Roses of New’, was dedicated to his wife, Ber- nice, who died of cancer last May. “Everything in the song is about my wife,” noted Lariviere, who said ‘Roses of New’ is currently climbing the country and western charts in England. ‘Skid Row #2’ is Lariviere’s sixth independent traditional country and western release on his own L&L Records label. His debut recording ‘I’ve Never Been to Newfoundland’ was released in 1997, followed by ‘From New- foundland to Texas’, ‘Roses for Baby’ and ‘We Might Be Old and Ugly But We’re Good’. His recordings won several awards for traditional country music in the U.S. Next week, Lariviere plans to re- lease a recording of duets entitled ‘Betsy Lynn and Lincoln Lariviere Sing Country’. Following his stint in England, Lariviere heads to Tennessee in March where he will take part a tele- vision show with the Mandrell Sis- ters to be aired on the TNN network in the U.S. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 23, 2002 PAGE B3 A/P A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 23, 2002 Laugh away the winter blues at Ajax shows AJAX —A local comedy club is hoping its lineup of laughs will blow the mid-winter blues away next month.

GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Christmas gifts that keep giving PICKERING –– The Optimist Club of Pickering raised $2,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation during the Christmas season by taking pictures of children visiting with Santa Claus. Loblaws at Liverpool Road in Pickering processed the pictures at no cost. Celebrating the gift that keeps on giving are Optimist Club members (from left) Dawn Andrews, Brian Pease, Pamela Pedro, Paul Vorvis, Loblaws manager Terry Bahen and Josh Andrews (Santa Claus). Don’t tire on recycling While blue boxes have limits, there are other options This year, Durham’s blue box collection contract is ex- piring and the Region is look- ing at the following possible additions to be included in the new deal: all plastic bottles (no tubs), empty paint and aerosol cans; drinking boxes and milk/juice cartons; and polystyrene. At present, ‘R’ pioneers in Pickering’s Amberlea commu- nity, together with Miller Waste, the City of Pickering and Durham Region, is testing the three-stream ‘roll cart’sys- tem and is recycling all these items. While the rest of us await the new additions in ei- ther an expanded blue box program or roll carts, we can save what is possible or take items to friends who live in other municipalities that al- ready process these recy- clables materials. Be sure to recycle all household paper by placing it in a separate blue box or ham- per. By recycling one ton of paper we save: 17 trees; 6,953 gallons of water; 463 gallons of oil; 587 pounds of air pollu- tion; 3.06 cubic yards of land- fill space; and 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy. When pur- chasing paper such as gift cards, look for the recycling logo, which indicates it was made from recycled paper, in- cluding a percentage of post consumer waste. For those items we use but are not presently included in the blue box system, the fol- lowing indicates methods for their proper disposal: Tires: Take old tires to your garage mechanic or tire dealer for recycling. Drywall: Can-Sort Recy- cling, at 1048 Toy Ave. in Pickering, will accept small quantities free from home ren- ovators, or charge $65 a tonne from builders. Can Sort ensures it will be recycled by sending it to New West Gypsum Recycling Inc. In addition, the Oshawa trans- fer station at 1640 Ritson Rd. N. accepts drywall for recy- cling. Batteries and household hazardous waste: Take these items to the Oshawa transfer station. Car batteries can also be taken to Canadian Tire stores. To recycle rechargeable batteries, call 1-800-8-BAT- TERY for retailers. Scrap metal: Miller Waste Durham on Squires Beach Road, the Oshawa transfer sta- tion and Can Sort will ship out scrap metal for recycling. Plastic rings from cans: The Beer Store will ensure these get recycled. Plastic film: The Beer Store and Pickering’s Dominion Sav-A-Centre in Amberlea Plaza will accept clean plastic bags. Old vehicles: Call 1-800- CARDIED for details on how to recycle an old car. Electrical equipment: Old fax machines, telephones, ra- dios, and computers (not tele- visions) can be taken to Durham Region’s electrical re- cycling program at the Os- hawa transfer station. There are still more ‘Rs’ to come in future columns... even bad Rs.

Step McKINNON, NEIL In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away January 22, 2000. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did't go alone, For part of me went with you The day God called you home. The tears in my eyes I can wipe away, The ache in my heart will always stay. Sadly missed by his wife Cathie We miss you in so many ways, We miss things you used to say, And when old times we do recall It's then we miss you most of all. Always remembered by his son Jim, daughter Margaret, Gerry & family and son Danny, Liz and family. The family of the late Donna Timmins would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Nurses and Doctors at the Rouge Valley Health System who showed great compassion and kindness to Donna during her lengthy stay in hospital. We also wish to thank Dino Accettone and his family for helping us get through this very difficult time. Thanks also to Green Thumb florist for the beautiful floral tributes. Finally, we would like to thank our family and dear friends for their love and support.

Charlotte Snape, 14, placed first with a combined score of 56.80 to win the gold medal in the Provincial Level 3 female category at the second On- tario Trampoline Cup Jan. 18 to 20. The Twisters Gymnastics and Trampo- line Club of Orangeville hosted the competition. Snape placed third in a field of 20 competitors after her compulsory rou- tine scored 25.5 out of 30, but made the jump to first with an outstanding vol- untary routine of 31.3 out of 35.9. Snape, a Grade 9 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School, had not com- peted for four years in order to concen- trate on dancing, but decided to return this year with her old club, the Skyrid- ers Trampoline Place in Richmond Hill. She is now qualified to compete at the Ontario Provincial Championships in Etobicoke April 5 to 7. Before that, however, she will also compete at the third Ontario Trampo- line Cup in Ottawa, from Feb. 8 to 10, and will lead her regional team in the Ontario Winter Games in Guelph March 7 to 10.
