Home My WebLink AboutNA2002_03_27Friends, family turn out for Marc Hall BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —Supporters of a gay student fighting for the right to take his boyfriend to the prom disrupted the Durham Catholic District School Board meeting in Oshawa Monday night, demanding to be heard. As the meeting began short- ly after 7:30 p.m., a documen- tary filmmaker now following the plight of the student spoke out, asking the board to hear the more than 60 students, par- ents and gay-rights advocates who had come to show their support for Marc Hall. Mr. Hall was recently re- fused the right to take his boyfriend to the prom at Mon- signor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in Oshawa because the board says allow- ing his attendance would amount to encouraging homo- sexuality. Catholic board Chairman Mary Ann Martin quickly dis- missed the demands, saying the board requires seven days no- tice to hear delegations. Following a presentation to the board on World Youth Day, tension in the crowd began to mount. Supporters shouted out questions asking whether ho- mosexuals would be allowed at World Youth Day and asked if AT A GLANCE Weekend carnival aids Lupus research DURHAM —Kids and adults will be able to enjoy a car- nival atmosphere and help a good cause at the same time.

Gay supporter turfed from board meeting Rebirth follows life-saving kidney transplant While life improves for some patients more donors still needed BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Four people gathered recently to raise a flag proclaiming March Kidney Foundation month in Claring- ton, but not one was there for the same reason. For Jean Irving, it was the memory of her late husband Laurie that brought her from Port Hope for the Toronto East branch’s proclamation. In 1991 Mrs. Irving donated a kidney so her husband could escape a life tied to a dialysis machine. Mr. Irving died last year but his widow doesn’t re- gret giving up one of her own organs to give her husband 10 years of freedom. Mr. Irving began dialysis in April 1990 after he became ill and was diagnosed with kidney failure. The wait for organ transplants can be very long with compatibility require- ments complicated by a de- mand that far outweighs sup- ply. “I read an article about an- other couple’s transplant,” re- calls Mrs. Irving. “He was against the idea.” After she managed to convince her hus- band the risk to her was very low, the couple had to undergo nine months of testing to see if they were compatible. “It was like a million-to-one shot,” she says. But in March 1991, doctors confirmed the match was “good enough” and surgery took place the follow- ing month. Mrs. Irving looks back on her decision without regret. “I’ve always wanted to see the positive. We had 10 years where we could travel. When Laurie was on dialysis we could never make plans, he never knew how he’d be feel- ing that day.” She recalls when her husband awoke from the surgery. “He said immediately he felt better and instead of being on a special diet he was JACQUIE McINNES/ News Advertiser photo Karen Cockerham (front, left), Jean Irving (front right), Cecil Perry (back, left)) and Sam Majic gathered recently to raise awareness of kidney disease and the benefits of trans- plants.

Feds, Province put icing on new city rink BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The planned expansion and renova- tion of Don Beer Arena got a much-needed boost yesterday as the provincial and federal governments announced they would pony up more than $1.1 million for the project. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague, in the city to announce Industry Canada would be contributing $587,000 to arena improve- ments, along with an equal amount from the provincial SuperBuild initiative through the Canada-Ontario Infrastruc- ture Program, said everyone involved recognized the “ex- cruciating need” for additional ice space in Pickering. “You would try to get ice time in this city and it was vir- tually impossible,” he said. “Now the community can enjoy using this great new fa- cility.” The remainder of the $3.8 million renovation and expan- sion of the 32-year-old arena, which will include the con- struction of a third ice rink, six fully equipped dressing rooms, and measures to improve the accessibility for persons with disabilities, will be funded by the City in partnership with the Pickering Hockey Association and Durham West Girls Hock- ey Association. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said once the renova- tions are complete some time during next year’s hockey sea- son, it will bring Pickering’s total ice pads up to five, a much-needed expansion. “This will capture our im- mediate needs and give us some breathing room for the future,” he said. “This is money well spent.” Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker, also in atten- dance at the announcement, added she was pleased the three levels of government could get together on the initia- tive. “This is a good news day for Pickering,” she said. “Here we take a different approach, we realize we represent the same people and we work to- gether to solve problems...this JANET ECKER ‘This is a good news day for Pickering.’ BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering City Council has approved a plan for a 15 new homes to be built on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Province lifted the mora- torium on development of the Oak Ridges Moraine last No- vember, paving the way for mu- nicipal councils to start develop- ment on some areas of the envi- ronmentally sensitive land. Some applications had been held up by the freeze on devel- opment. While final approval of the plan for 15 detached homes, to be built on a new road proposed to extend north from Kodiak Street east of Sideline 20 in the Hamlet of Claremont, is still pending final adoption of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conserva- tion Act, council seemed satis- fied with City staff’s recommen- dation the planned subdivision See TRANSPLANT page 4 Pickering approves moraine homes bid See CATHOLIC page 2 See MORAINE page 4 See NEW page 5 DURHAM —Two volunteers at the Pickering Museum Village are among 40 young people from 35 communities across the province the Ontario Heritage Foundation (OHF) is honouring through its Young Heritage Leaders program. The Town of Ajax nominated An- drew Reeves in the cultural category for his volunteer work at the Pickering Mu- seum Village. Historical research, event planning, interpretive work with the public, and helping to maintain histori- cal records were among the many tasks Mr. Reeves performed for the living mu- seum. Alison Bezubiak, another volunteer at Pickering Museum Village, was nom- inated by the City of Pickering also in the cultural heritage category. Ms. Bezubiak has spent the last six years amassing more than 500 hours of volun- teer service at the Museum Village. Her contribution included dealing with the public and candle and weaving demon- strations. “The future of our heritage rests in the hearts and minds of the youth of On- tario,” said Allan Gotlieb, chairman of the OHF. “The contributions of this year’s Young Heritage Leaders are out- standing. The foundation is pleased to honour these committed and enthusias- tic young people and encourage them to continue to pursue their interests in the heritage field.” Through the Young Heritage leaders program municipal councils and their equivalent acknowledge local youth for significant voluntary contributions to cultural, natural, or built heritage. The councils work in conjunction with local school boards, service clubs, youth and heritage groups to identify individuals and groups who qualify for recognition. This is the second year the awards have been presented and sponsored by London Life Insurance Company. the Pope wanted young people to at- tend the event, wouldn’t he want them to attend their own prom. Mike Shields, president of Local 222 of the Canadian Auto Workers’ Union, then rose, demanding the board listen to delegations from the crowd and from Mr. Hall himself. “You have an obligation to hear from him,” he shouted. “He’s got the courage of his convictions, let us hear yours.” But, Ms. Martin quickly ordered the board into a three-minute recess. A security officer then asked Mr. Shields to leave the meeting room and when he refused police were called. Police escorted Mr. Shields out of the Catholic education centre on Rossland Road, saying the board claimed he was causing a disturbance. The meeting immediately recon- vened and Ms. Martin told the gallery they would not be heard and any more disruptions would result in another re- cess and the entire room cleared. “These are business meetings for us and business has to be done,” she explained. Immediately after the meeting’s adjournment Ms. Martin addressed the throng of media in attendance. “We follow the teachings of the Church and we’re not going to give in to this pressure,” she said. “I think it’s important to address these issues, just not at this point in time.” She added Mr. Hall is still wel- come at the prom, just not with a “male date”. Mr. Hall confronted Ms. Martin, telling her the Catholic Catechism calls for tolerance and acceptance of homosexuals. Director of Education Grant An- drews intervened, however, saying the principal at the school made a deci- sion and the board stands behind it. Outside the education centre prior to the meeting Mr. Hall said he had tried to register as a delegation on the agenda last Thursday, but was told he was too late. He added he had no in- tention of disrupting the meeting in any way. “I’m just here because I want the board to see what kind of support I have,” he said. “They should know I’m not going to go away.” Mr. Hall’s fa- ther, Audy Hall, also showed up to support his son. “I would think as Catholics we have bigger prob- lems than two teenagers going to the prom...Marc has a right to live like a normal person,” he said. “I’m proud of my son.” Following the meeting, Marc Hall said he was “overwhelmed” by the support from family, friends and oth- ers. “Without them I wouldn’t be here,” he said. “This is not just about me, or the prom, I’m going to continue this fight for everyone out there.” He added he would try to reg- ister as a delega- tion for the next Catholic board meeting April 8 and would be contacting a lawyer to see if his fight has legal merit.

A regional works department budget recommendation calls for bridge rehabilitation and construction including: Stevenson Road at the CN structure ($875,000); an Ajax pedestrian bridge crossing Duffins Creek in Pickering Village ($510,000); and the Mustard Bridge ($310,000) and the Lyons Bridge, ($845,000) both in Uxbridge. Other projects include a $2.3- million road reha- bilitation and repaving program region-wide, in- cluding badly needed recon- struction of Rit- son Road in Os- hawa worth $420,000 and an $800,000 signal- installation pro- gram. Another $650,000 has been allocated for resurfacing of Taunton Road in Oshawa. Other roads slated for work include Con- sumers Drive in Whitby ($430,000), Re- gional Road 5 and Regional Road 2 (Hwy. 2) in Os- hawa ($430,000) and Finch Avenue in Pickering ($390,000). An- other $6 million has been allocated for other expenses including envi- ronmental assess- ments, designs, land purchases and utility reloca- tions. The Carruthers Creek Drive Hwy. 401 interchange in Ajax will cost $10.5 million with related work on Carruthers Creek Drive an- ticipated to cost $4.97 million. Two-thirds of the interchange work price tag, about $9.8 mil- lion, is funded by the Town of Ajax and the Province. Another $2.5 mil- lion in former GO Transit levies and local services re- alignment fund- ing from the Province will help offset the cost of the interchanges, says Jim Clapp, Durham commissioner of finance. “The proposed 2002 gross capital budget of $31.3 million is approximately 50 per cent higher than the ap- proved 2001 (gross) budget of $21 million,” according to a report by Mr. Clapp and Jack McCorkell, the Re- gion’s works commissioner. However, the report notes, after contributions from other revenue sources are taken into account, the bud- get is $20.7 million, a 14-per cent increase from the net 2001 total of $18.2 million. Regional council is ex- pected to address budget rec- ommendations in April. BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM —For Nell Randall, it’s hard to put a price on hope. Her 11-year-old son Derrick has cerebral palsy, and she’s spent his whole life being his advocate. She only wants the best for him, something that doesn’t come easy considering all the expenses that comes with having a special-needs child. Many things Mrs. Randall wants for her son to improve his quality of life isn’t funded by the government, and she finds herself constantly looking for re- sources that can help. “When you have a child with special needs, you have to be the advocate for all the shortcomings the government can’t provide,” Mrs. Randall said. One instrument of hope for Derrick is hyperbaric oxygen treatment, a new and expensive therapy. There hasn’t been any solid proof of its benefits, al- though successful cases have been well documented. The theory behind this treatment is that it revives dormant brain cells in people with cerebral palsy, im- proving motor, vision, and speech skills. The problem for parents like Mrs. Ran- dall is that it is extremely expensive. “We just want what’s best for our son to reach his potential,” she said. But reaching that potential using hyperbaric oxygen treatment would have cost the Randall family around $5,000. Because the treatment is new and there’s no solid proof of its benefits, it isn’t covered by the government’s health plan. “The financial assistance we get (from the government) is great,” but not enough for this treatment, she said. It’s $125 a treatment for about 40 treat- ments. “It’s not a miracle cure, you have to go back for further treatment.” Mrs. Randall said that having a spe- cial-needs child often means having a one income family, because one spouse must stay at home to take care of the child, in this case Mrs. Randall. For the Love of a Child, a charity or- ganization that holds fund-raisers to help special-needs families, came to the aid of the Randalls. “This could be one child that gets up and walks, this could be one child that could speak,” said Josie Pilieci, one of the founding members of the group. “It’s the biggest thrill.” If not for the group, the alternatives for the Randalls and other families are not as bright. “They’d have to take a sec- ond mortgage on the house, borrow money, take out a loan,”Ms. Pilieci said. “People know how hard it is to live. It’s even harder with special-needs kids.” The group was founded in 1996. Eleven mothers with special-needs kids joined together to raise money for a par- ent to travel to England for a conference on her child’s disability. “We realized there was a need, there was nowhere to get money that wasn’t approved by the government.” Since 1996, For the Love of a Child’s has or- ganized dances, raffles, and golf tourna- ments. On Father’s Day, the group orga- nized plane rides for fathers and sons. Its annual dance is April 6, one of it biggest fund-raisers. Currently, For the Love of a Child is a Durham-based organization, although “Our goal is to get bigger than Durham,” Ms. Pilieci said. Though the group originally consist- ed of parents of special-needs children, there are now two members on the board of eight who have not been di- rectly affected by special-needs kids. Mrs. Randall agrees more people need to get involved. “It not only helps people in need, but it’s very rewarding. There needs to be more awareness.” For more information on For the Love of a Child, call 905-428-0830.

The school received a $1,000 grant from the Shell Canada Community Ser- vice Fund. The funds were awarded to recognize Bren- da Rappos, a Shell Canada employee who volunteers in a program that teaches students to build courage and tap into their creativity to solve problems as a team. The program is called ‘Destination Imagi- Nation’. “We’re delighted to use these funds to support the ‘Destination ImagiNation’ program at Frenchman’s Bay,” Barbara Jones, prin- cipal of Frenchman’s Bay, said. “Through the Commu- nity Service Fund, we rec- ognize and support Shell people who give personal time to non-profit organiza- tions on a regular, volun- teer basis,” said Jeff Gabert, of Shell Public Af- fairs. back to whatever he felt like.” Sam Majic, 54, knows the feeling of elation related to a kidney transplant. As a young man he found out he was in the early stages of kid- ney failure but managed to live fairly well with the dis- ease for 14 years until, in 1982, the disease had taken over to the point he was forced to go on dialysis. Fortunately, Mr. Majic, the willing guinea pig for an experimental anti-rejection drug, waited only a few more short months before he re- ceived a kidney from a de- ceased donor whose family had consented to organ dona- tion. Twenty years later, he is able to look back, grateful for the chance to lead a normal, productive life thanks to that kidney donor. “Everything else is falling apart but the kidney is fine,” he jokes. “I can say I have a life. When you’re on dialysis, there is no life. It’s so re- stricting. I was able to work (after the organ transplant),” says the recently-retired pro- bation and parole officer. “If people would sign their do- nation cards and donate or- gans, it really helps.” Karen Cockerham, 63, has been on dialysis for five years. The Hampton grand- mother first had problems with her kidneys in her early 20s when she was diagnosed with kidney stones and infec- tion. “Then I was fine until about five or six years ago. I started losing my sight and balance. The doctor said I had no choice but to go on dialysis,” says the retired florist, who had to sell her Bowmanville business about a year-and-a-half ago be- cause of her rigid dialysis schedule. “It was too much for me. The good news is, I am enjoying retirement.” Mrs. Cockerham spends five hours a day, three times a week on a dialysis machine. For many people, life on dialysis means eliminating travel from their life but not for this spunky lady, who managed a trip to Europe by making plans ahead of time. She was lucky there was a hospital near her destination able to accommodate an extra patient. Often, that isn’t the case. Still, she’s hopeful a transplant is in her future. Her 19-year-old granddaugh- ter, Crystal, is being tested to see if she has a compatible kidney for her grandmother. Cyril Perry began his work with the Kidney Foun- dation, Toronto East Branch after his son donated a kid- ney to his grandson. Kidney disease affects families, not just individuals, they say. Despite the fact more than 80 per cent of Canadians state a willingness to donate organs after death, the actual rate of donation is only 40 per cent. The volunteers, who are canvassing neigh- bourhoods for donations this month, are hoping the dona- tion rate will improve. They encourage people to let their families know of their wish to donate and to sign an organ donation card. Anyone interested in donating their organs after death can sign up online at www.orgando- nationontario.org, or for more information can call Organ Donation Ontario at 416-351-7328.

Mayor Wayne Arthurs said the sub- division is planned for the southerly edge of the Moraine and added con- cerns over the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act are covered off in city staff’s report. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said this project was held up anticipating new Oak Ridges Moraine legislation and the applicant has been waiting patiently. He also pointed out development on the moraine is nothing new for this area. “The entire Hamlet of Claremont, the Township of Uxbridge and every- thing in between has been built on the Oak Ridges Moraine,” he said. “I’m going to support this and I don’t feel we’re hindering the Oak Ridges Moraine by voting for it,nor would we be saving the Oak Ridges Moraine by voting against it.” Coun. Johnson said this is strictly an “infilling situation”.

He said right now up to 300 kids from Pickering go to Scarborough to play hockey and the additional 40 hours of ice time per week the new ice pad will provide will help bring most of them back. Richard Sabourin, president of the Durham West Girls Hockey Associa- tion, said without an additional ice pad there would have been no room for growth in the girls’ hockey league here, something he expects to see after the Canadian Women’s Olympic gold medal win at the Win- ter Olympics in Utah this year. “The sport is more socially ac- ceptable now,” he said. “I expect to see huge growth.” Mayor Arthurs added thanks to the provincial and federal represen- tatives for the funding, and said that along with the commitment of the local hockey associations, Pickering taxpayers would only be subject to a special tax levy of 0.6 per cent to fund the improvements at Don Beer.

The old school (S.S. No. 4) had been condemned, as the walls were spreading apart. It was also close to a hotel and horse stable which made the surroundings unsightly and unsanitary. The new school, on Church Street North, cost over $5,000 and accommodated 200 scholars. The school stood from 1888 to 1964, when it was finally torn down. To commemorate 100 years of education in Pickering Village, a centennial cairn was unveiled at the Lincoln Avenue School Dec. 5, 1967. The cairn contains the cor- nerstones of the school house of 1867 as well as the cor- nerstone and bell from the school house of 1888. P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, March 27, 2002 Proud members of Rarely, if ever, has a single student in Durham Region caused as much of a stir as 17- year-old Grade 12 pupil Marc Hall. As has been thoroughly re- ported over the past week, the Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic High School student has been banned from taking his 21-year-old boyfriend to his school’s prom. Openly gay, Marc feels (and many support him, not just in Durham but across North America) he’s being discriminat- ed against by the Catholic school board because he’s a homosexu- al. If only the issue were as sim- ple as that. A consultation of the most recent Catechism of the Catholic Church, published in 1992 and which Pope John Paul II calls, “a sure and authentic text for teaching Catholic doc- trine,” could cause some confu- sion. Part 2357 of the Catechism states: “homosexual acts are in- trinsically disordered... under no circumstances can they be ap- proved.” But the very next sec- tion, part 2358, claims, “They (homosexuals) must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.” What are we to make of two seemingly contradictory state- ments, set side-by-side in the catechism and endorsed by the Pope himself? The logical inference is that homosexual acts, which surely do not include mere attendance at a prom, are not approved. But unjust discrimination, which one could deduce involves banning a couple from attendance at a prom on the sole basis of sexual orientation, should be avoided. All other things being equal, there should be no barrier to Marc’s prom attendance with his boyfriend. We know Marc paid his $100 deposit to attend the prom, that he carries an 82 per cent average and is a first-class student. If Marc shares in every other aspect of high school life, if he is treated just like any other student on a day-to-day basis, how can the principal, backed up by the school board, deny him his right to celebrate the conclu- sion of his high school years with his partner? Confusing the issue further, the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board, the neighbouring board to Durham, would not prohibit a gay couple from attending any of the board’s Catholic high school proms. Marc’s Web site has re- ceived messages from young men who say they were allowed to take their boyfriends to their proms at Catholic high schools in St. Catharines and Kitchener over the past few years. Clearly, the decision made by Monsignor Pereyma principal Michael Powers and backed by Durham Catholic District School Board education director Grant Andrews is entirely arbitrary. In order to avoid treating Marc with ‘unjust discrimination’ the board and school should immediately reverse this decision and allow the couple to attend the prom. He’s b-a-c-k! It’s doubtful a year ago the freshly retired Ernie Eves en- visaged he’d be where he is today, but, after a five-month leadership race, it’s hardly surprising. In his campaign, Mr. Eves showed all the hallmarks of his 20 years in the legislature, especially his five-and-a-half year run as Mike Harris’s right-hand man. His campaign was calm, cool and collected. He held his composure de- spite some tough attacks by his successor as deputy pre- mier/finance minister, Jim Flaherty, and led the way wire to wire. With far more support among cabinet ministers and MPPs than his four competitors put together, there was lit- tle doubt Mr. Eves would win. Mr. Eves had more money, sold more PC party member- ships, had more businesses and lobbyists behind him. With Mr. Eves, it was always a matter of more, more, more. In the end, four of his contenders came off as less, less, less. In the end, as Saturday’s provincial leadership conven- tion so clearly showed, card-carrying Tories felt Mr. Eves was the most impressive contender and the one they want- ed to see lead the party into the next election. That’s not to say Mr. Flaherty, Whitby-Ajax MPP, didn’t give Mr. Eves a decent run for his money. The pugnacious Durham-area representative was the only serious candidate to provide a challenge and to generate clear and open de- bate about Tory policies. Mr. Flaherty, early and often, staked out positions on the far right spectrum of the party and his aggressive style slowly gained him support as the long campaign wound down. Pegged in Chris Stockwell territory (that is single-digit popularity) at the outset, Mr. Flaherty emerged as the clear runner-up on voting day. But he was also left standing alone as Tony Clement and Eliza- beth Witmer, well behind in third and fourth place respec- tively after the first ballot, jumped to the Eves camp. Besides the small matter of finding a safe Tory seat in which to run in a byelection (Nipissing perhaps, Mr. Har- ris’s current riding, though the former premier has not re- tired as an MPP just yet), Mr. Eves must decide where Mr. Flaherty and the core 30 per cent or so of the party he rep- resents, fits in with his cabinet. Mr. Flaherty should not be frozen out of a key post because Mr. Eves risks alienating the right-wing Tories who feel the Whitby resident is a champion of their views. The scene is now set for the next provincial election. Let’s hope the voters will have a clear choice between the policies of Liberal Dalton McGuinty and those of Mr. Eves.

Editorial cartoon Midwifery right for Ontario health care To the editor: Something is going very right in Ontario health care: Mid- wifery care. I am a 31-year-old woman who just had my first child March 4, 2002. Being a regis- tered nurse myself, and under- standing the medical system, I chose to have a midwife instead of a physician for my prenatal, labour and delivery and post-par- tum care. I want to commend the excellent care my baby, husband and I received under the Mid- wifery Services of Durham Re- gion office in Whitby. The mid- wives went beyond what I ever expected to provide professional and supportive care to our fami- ly. Midwifery care has been cov- ered by OHIP since 1993 as a care alternative for expecting parents. When I told people we would be using the services of a midwife, there were many mis- conceptions people had about what a midwife does and about their qualifications. Midwives are specialists in low-risk preg- nancies, labour and delivery and newborn care. They specialized exclusively in these areas for four years of university training and must complete a practicum prior to graduating. A master midwifery is also available and I know of one midwife currently working on this. They promote pregnancy as a natural process. I chose to have the midwife deliver my baby at Markham- Stouffville hospital, but I could have had a home birth if I want- ed. All medical interventions and medications were made available to me but because of the good in- formation and support I received from my midwife, I had an un- complicated, unmedicated birth with episiotomy. It is important this letter be read by others as I want to pro- mote midwifery care and inform the public that in these times of dissatisfaction with the health- care system, midwives are mak- ing a huge difference and need to be recognized for the contribu- tion they’re making to family health care. Dawn Ullman R.N., B.Sc.N. Pickering When will public’s fleecing by governments stop? To the editor: Re: ‘Big Tax Hike Looming for Pickering?’ (Pickering News Ad- vertiser, March 13) Why such a reckless tax hike at this time? This begs the question, when will all levels of government stop stripping us of our last $1 with impunity? If Pickering council is throw- ing a trial balloon our way it is not going to work for the simple rea- son a two-per cent tax increase will seriously hurt the unem- ployed, small businesses, seniors (mostly), and will inevitably result in the loss of jobs. And, why won’t the Ajax and Pickering people stand up and write their reps in local council and object to this crippling tax grab? And, let me ask, where is Mu- nicipal Affairs Minister Chris Hodgson and others at this time? Surely they should step in and stop this scourging tax grab, which really hurts the most vul- nerable. Look if you will at the power- ful American economy. It’s pow- erful because the people are left with money to spend. But, not so in Canada, as after taxes we have nothing left.

A Fair and Reasonable Offer The Government of Ontario has offered OPSEU members a fair and reasonable wage offer over three years. This offer is similar to those already accepted by other Ontario public service unions. OPSEU has rejected this offer and is now on strike. The Government remains available to return to the table at any time. The Government’s offer includes: An up to 10 per cent raise for all staff over a three-year contract made up of: •a 5.96 per cent raise for all staff over a three-year contract; •a one per cent raise in the first year in exchange for pro- ductivity and efficiency gains; and •an overall raise of three per cent over three years for staff who are at the maximum of their salary ranges, based on performance. Some 70 per cent of OPSEU staff are currently at the maximum of their salary grid and would be eligible for this increase. In addition: •an immediate 10 per cent raise for nurses; •an immediate eight per cent raise for ambulance dispatchers; •an immediate eight per cent raise for scientists; •additional compensation to Waste and Water Treatment Operators and mechanics employed by the Ontario Clean Water Agency to recognize credentials upgrading; •an increase in shift premiums for non-correctional employ- ees to 78 cents per hour for hours worked between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. to better reflect market rates; and •a one per cent pay-for-performance pool for employees who are at the maximum of their salary ranges. In addition, the Government also offers a competitive benefit and pension package. Our offer puts real money in our employees’ pockets.

Her presentation demonstrated ad- ditional uses for the several sizes of margarine tubs and other food contain- ers that can be reused to grow plants. The clamshells, for instance, make a perfect container for students to trans- port seedlings. Polystyrene can also be used as an insulator. “Those plastic name tags with pot- ted plants can be reused each year to mark rows in vegetable gardens. All it takes is a little sticky tape to cover the original message. It’s a shame that thousands of these sturdy little mark- ers get tossed away every year,” Ms. Middleton stated. She also added that disposable food trays with sections could provide a perfect container to sort seeds. With spring gardening just around the cor- ner, there will be thousands of discard- ed flowerpots and trays. Most nurs- eries will take them back for reuse; however, Ms. Middleton emphasized that to reuse these pots they should be thoroughly washed first. If pesky crows are a problem for you, try hanging those little plastic CD’s that often come in the mail. Spin- ning in the wind, the glare from the shiny surfaces seems to keep unwanted birds at bay. Ms. Middleton pointed out that worn-out pantyhose is still the best thing to tie up your tomatoes and other plants. The nylon has the stretch to allow plants to grow. Weather predictions are calling for droughts, so at a time when we need to practice water efficiency, a drip irriga- tion system was demonstrated by using a long pointed hollow shaft that attaches to plastic bottles. Fill the shaft with sand and the drinking bottle again with water. Punch a very tiny hole in the bot- tom and turn upside down to poke into the earth. Refill when empty. This method offers a slow and even way to give plants the water they need. One can also take the PET bottles and cut off the bottom and push the neck into the soil. In addition, compost, when spread on your lawn, will slowly re- lease moisture. Another method to capture water is to purchase a rain bar- rel and redirect your downspout to- ward your garden. Some people are opting for drive- ways made from an arrangement of bricks that allow rainfall to penetrate between the cracks and into the soil rather than asphalting. If you like ornaments in your gar- den, check out Dog Bites Steel in Uxbridge. As an exhibitor at the Canada Blooms show, local artist Jean Pierre Schoss displayed his funky and clever creations made from scrap metal. Mr. Schoss is always looking for old nuts, bolts and other pieces of metal too. Call 905-852-3085 or visit www.dog- bitesteel.com <http://www.dogbites- teel.com>. The Composting Council of Cana- da also had a booth to encourage ‘Plant A Row. Grow A Row’ for gar- deners to sow an extra row for their local food bank. And every gardener knows the true value of compost! Larraine Roulston Recycler’s Corner roulstonlp@sympatico.ca AJAX —The whole family can fling into spring the first weekend of April.

We’re at durhamregion.com Province invests in skilled workers Durham College gets boost for programs DURHAM — Durham Col- lege is getting $41,840 from the provincial government as part of an initia- tive to invest $1.3 million in certifying On- tario’s skilled workers. Dianne Cun- ningham, min- ister of Train- ing, Colleges and Universi- ties, announced on March 12 that the Jour- neyperson Up- dating Program would provide a chance for 3,500 skilled workers to up- grade their edu- cation. “Investing in the skills of these workers will strengthen economic growth and job creation,” Ms. Cunningham said in a press release. “Experi- enced workers can immediate- ly apply their new learning in the workplace, improving the competitiveness of individual employers and our economy in the global mar- ketplace.” Seventy- eight projects were chosen by the ministry from colleges and other train- ing providers that competi- tively applied to the program. The ministry is also investing $33 million by 2004-05 to dou- ble the number of entrants to apprenticeship programs in the skilled trades, both initiatives part of the 2001 budget commit- tee. Other col- leges getting funding are Centennial Col- lege, Fanshawe College, George Brown College, Conestoga Col- lege and Cam- brian College. The program at Durham receiv- ing funding will be Instruction in Techniques for Training Ex- perienced Workers. Skilled workers must apply to the courses and pay tuition fees set by the college. Journeypersons interested in participating in the program can call the Job- Grow and Training Hot- line at 1-888- JobGrow.

Good crowds watched as Suzanne Boudreault’s Guelph Curling Club team took the women’s title over the Jo-Ann Rizzo rink from Brant. In the final round-robin game, Boudreault stole a point in the 10th and final end to post a 4-3 victory over Rizzo. With Boudreault were Laura Davis-Cook, Deb Salo- nen, and Nancy Woods. In the men’s competition, round-robin action ended with three teams tied for first place. A draw-to-the-button playdown determined John Brotherhood of Whitby would meet the Doug Johnston rink from the Ottawa Curling Club in a semifinal; Jim Lyle of St. Thomas would earn a bye to the final. Johnston won the semifinal over Brotherhood 7-3, but went down 9-5 in the final to Lyle. On the Lyle rink were Kevin Brevik, Ken Baute and Ted Smith. ••• The Annandale bantam mixed team of Meaghan O’Leary, Peter Stecyk, Ashley Bianchi, Justin Ferreira, and coach Alex Bianchi competed in the OCA Pepsi Ban- tam Mixed Regional at Oshawa Golf on the weekend. In the double-knockout playdowns, the Annandale team was sidelined with a 1-2 record. They had won their way to the regional with a zone win at the Dalewood Curling Club, near Port Hope, in early March. ••• Ajax resident Bill Goodchild participated in the Cana- dian Police Curling Championships in Trois Rivieres, Que. last week. The Ontario team skipped by Don Glinz of Whitby won its way to the Page playoff final four with an 8-3 record. In round-robin play, they defeated the Saskatchewan team that later got revenge as they defeat- ed Ontario 5-4, thus eliminating the Glinz team from fur- ther play. Team Alberta beat Saskatchewan in the semifinal, and then lost to Prince Edward Island in the final.

The Ontario open team represen- tatives from Ottawa have named Erin Rourke to the team. Rourke played on Pickering’s open di- vision entry at the 2002 Provincial ‘AA’ Ringette Championships, finishing as Picker- ing’s top scorer with seven goals and four assists for 11 points at the provincials. The Pickering open squad finished in fourth spot at the provincials earlier this month after los- ing the bronze- medal game to Cambridge 7-3. Meanwhile, Courtney Howell, a member of the Ajax belle ‘AA’ ringette squad, was picked up by the Glouces- ter belle squad that will be Ontario’s representatives at nationals. The Ajax belles dropped the bronze- medal game to Wa- terloo 9-8. During the provincial champi- onships, Howell led the Ajax squad in scoring with six goals and eight as- sists.

News Advertiser CLASSIFIEDS 905-683-0707 PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers Coffee Time/Lone Star Café minor novice select hockey team has been sharp in both league and tournament play of late. Competing at the recent Pickering Select Tournament, the Panther novice selects ad- vanced to the semifinals before dropping a heart- breaking 2-1 decision on a last-minute goal by the eventual champion Waterloo Rockies. Goal- tenders Nathan Grant and Bradley Mason were co-winners of the play- er-of-the-game award for their solid efforts. Stephen Arnold scored the lone Pickering goal. The Panthers advanced to the tournament semifinal after recording two wins in pool play. The Pickering novices beat a strong Aurora squad 2-1 on goals by Arnold and Matthew Ross. The team continued its strong play by beating Cambridge 3-1. Arnold, Stewart Singleton and an empty-net marker by Dougie Lalach accounted for the Pickering offence in the contest. Grant and Mason pro- vided solid goaltending in both games. In league play, the Pickering novice selects advanced to the final of the York-Simcoe Hockey League ‘B’ championship after knocking off Unionville in two straight games. The Panthers were led in the first game by Corrado Cammissuli’s two goals in a 3-1 win in Unionville. Ross had the other marker. The Panthers then clinched the best-of-three playoff series with a 4- 3 overtime thriller. Kevin Rose scored the overtime goal, his second of the game, while playing shorthanded. Carmen Av arino and Chris Kiatipis also scored for Pick- ering. Other team members are Joe Higginson, Nathaniel Hargraves, Justin Walker, Quinn Etherington, David Lipsett, Matthew Farrell, Jake Lamanna, Ty Pagnello and Bradley Ro- chon. Peter Farrell, Gary Arnold, John Higgin- son and Jeff Mason coach the team.

It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us special memories From which we'll never part, God has you in his keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Scarlett-Harmon May 25, 1958 - March 26, 2001 Beloved daughter of Louise Scarlett and the late Phillip (Dec. 2000) In loving memory of my beloved daughter who died tragically one sad year ago. My heart still aches in sadness, and the tears still flow. What it means to lose you no one will ever know. Beautiful memories are all that’s left of a wonderful daughter I miss. A daughter I will never forget. The tears in my eyes I can wipe away, But the ache in my heart will always stay. Marcia, you will always be remembered by your Loving Mom, and all the rest of your family and friends. Sadly missed by all of us who wish you were here, Grandma, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Godparents and friends. Danielle Scarlett Harmon February 7, 1995 - March 26, 2001 In loving memory of my dear granddaughter who died tragically one sad year ago. The silent tears still flow. I find it so hard to let you go, you were only six years old and still had time left to grow. You left the world as you came into the world with your mother. Fly away my little sunshine, grandma’s pride and ray. We will meet again someday in the beautiful sunrise and Oh what a meeting it will be. 256 Deaths 256 Deaths 258 In Memoriam 258 In Memoriam GORDON Allan Roy (Veteran of WWII with the Royal Canadian Corps. of Signals, serving in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Holland) At Sunnycrest Nursing Home, Whitby on Tuesday, March 26th, 2002.

If it’s a trip in the family car, add another $50 to $75 for gasoline, and another $40 for incidentals. However, for the cost of one vacation day, you can have peace of mind throughout the entire vacation, by having your vehicle serviced before you leave home. The Gates Rubber Company estimates that for $300 to $350, the average family car could have a tune-up and cooling system flush and fill. You ’ll probably be able to replace two or three cooling system hoses, as well. If your car is four years old, the radiator and bypass hoses may be near failure. This investment of one day’s vacation will give you improved gas mileage and will keep your car out of the service bay in a distant location because of an overheated engine.

VEW is a monitoring program to engage community members in the collection of environmental data for the Frenchman's Bay watershed. The data collected by VEW will help staff and volunteers determine the success of the environmental enhancement projects and assess further steps in our ongoing efforts to rehabilitate Frenchman's Bay To date, over 250 volunteers have been trained to collect data for the following VEW programs: • Water Watch • Snake Watch • Butterfly Watch • Osprey Watch • Bug Watch • Plant Watch Some interesting Findings . . . • Osprey have been sighted migrating over Frenchman's Bay and have been caught checking out the newly installed osprey nesting platform, pictured left. • Volunteers participating in the Butterfly Watch program have identified 14 species, many within the butterfly garden created through the Frenchman's Bay Project. • Easter garter snakes were observed near the new snake hibernaculum in Alex Robertson Park. Further monitoring is planned to confirm their winter use of this habitat. Working for a Living City Region We are looking for more volunteers to join us in 2002.

The non-profit organization aimed at promoting the art, skill and support of writers already has breakfast dia- logues, workshops, writing circles, po- etry contests and retreats. Now a grant from the Ontario Trillium foundation has allowed the Writers’ Circle of Durham to offer more programs. Members will have their works published in an anthology available in bookstores and secondary school li- braries to inspire the region’s young writers. There is also a membership di- rectory provided to schools, libraries, non-profit community groups, service organizations, media, government and businesses with a list of workshop fa- cilitators, public speakers, published authors, editors, illustrators, re- searchers and writers. Developing and novice writers will have the opportunity to be critiqued by a professional writer in the Writer in Residence program. A second Trillium grant will go to- ward anchoring Words In Whitby, an ongoing event that allows local writers to feature their work with well-known names. The Ontario Trillium Foundation is an agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation.
