PPiicckkeerriinngg:: A trio of brazen bandits, believed responsible for a string of gunpoint heists across the region, robbed a Pickering corner store Fri- day. Three men armed with handguns entered Marksbury Variety, on Marksbury Road, with weapons pointed at the 20-year-old clerk at about 1:20 p.m., Durham Regional Police said. The bandits, wearing dark hood- ed sweaters and bandannas, or- dered the victim to open the cash register and get down on the floor, police said. They stuffed cash and cigarettes into pillowcases, and took the clerk's wallet, before fleeing on foot, running east on Park Crescent, police said. The suspects are all described as black, between 18 and 21 years of age, about 5-foot-10 to 6-feet-tall, wearing dark clothing. The robbery unit is investigating. What’s On...

NEW • Mobile Digital Camera!!! • Mobile Internet Browser • Large Colour Screen • World Phone So much history to be told Historical society wonders about lost opportunities with demolitions BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––John Sabean takes a long look at the 19th- century home before him and imagines what wonders are hidden behind its cinnamon- coloured brick and white gin- gerbread trim. Perhaps there is a box of old photos in the basement left behind in a move some time ago. Built in the 1870s, this 'Ontario Classic'-style home could have been passed down through the genera- tions from one of Pickering's earliest settlers. This is what the Pickering Historical Society president likes to call a "potential her- itage home", even though it has been boarded up and left vacant for at least a year. Situated on federally owned land, the house doesn't fall under Ottawa's guidelines, which require a property to have national prominence in order to be declared histori- cally significant. "I get a bit upset when they say homes like this don't have historical significance," said Mr. Sabean, who also re- searches properties for Public Wo rks and Government Ser- vices Canada, the landlord of federal lands in north Picker- ing. "It could have been home to a farmer who had contributed to the countryside by invent- ing some farming tool," he said. "Or (the residents) could have been involved in the church." The growing number of homes being boarded up and/or demolished on federal airport lands in Pickering has sparked concerns both from local residents and area politicians. Last month, 14 federally owned structures were levelled because of structural damage, poor water quality or mould, leav- ing Pickering council to won- der just how Public Works maintains its properties. "It's starting to look like a ghost town out there," Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles charged at a recent council session. The demolitions are "tearing the stomach" out of communities like Brougham Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo John Sabean, president of the Pickering Historical Society, can only wonder about the history being lost with the demolition of ‘potential heritage homes’. He’d like to see more saved. ✦See Working page A2 A.J.

Students set for action Shoppers could get more bang for their buck No blow to birds: study Pickering turbine hasn’t had big impact on population BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- The average cat is more of a menace to birds than the wind turbine at the Pickering Nuclear Generat- ing Station, finds a new study. Conducted for Ontario Power Generation, the study found only three birds flew into the tower in 2002, includ- ing one that hit it when the turbine wasn't operating. "The premise before we started was wind turbines kill birds, they kill a significant number of birds," said Chuck Edey, OPG's project manager for corporate development, at a gathering last week, When the company decid- ed to erect the turbine next to the nuclear station, it promised to conduct a study on bird mortality related to the structure. Also, the Cana- dian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion had requested a year- long study to assess the situ- ation. Dr. Ross James, an or- nithologist and bird expert with the Gateway Centre, was retained to conduct the study. "Cats kill 1,000 animals per year. Cats kill more than this tower," Dr. James stated. During the study, Dr. James scoured the area around the turbine on a regu- lar basis looking for dead birds. Mr. Edey said when a bird hits either the tower or a ro- tating blade, it would fall straight down and it wouldn't be thrown out into Lake On- tario. "Pretty much when it's struck, it's straight down." Also, Dr. James placed dead birds around the site to find out the reaction of other animals, such as foxes, rac- Pickering could have two flea markets to choose from BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Bargain hunters could be doubling their pleasure if plans for an- other flea market register. With the New Pickering Markets at Squires Beach Road and Bayly Street slat- ed to open in November, local councillors heard of plans for another at the for- mer Knob Hill Farms prop- erty on Kingston Road. But the newest proposal has local councillors and the property's owner in dispute over the current zoning. The Knob Hill Farms site is designated only for a food store, say City officials. But Chris Hinn maintained he's working within the proper- ty's zoning, which only re- quires 50 per cent of the square footage of the build- ing be used to sell food. "That's the legal opinion from my lawyers," he said, adding, "It's more of a com- petitive thing than a zoning issue." The City is concerned he'll be competing with the New Pickering Markets when his 55,000-square-foot flea mar- ket "with a grocery compo- nent" opens at the end of this month, Mr. Hinn said. The Pickering Markets closed up shop in January End to teachers' action returns activity to Pickering kids BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Now that ele- mentary teachers' work-to- rule action is over, the calen- dar is suddenly looking quite full for local students. For most of this calendar year, local members of the El- ementary Teachers' Federa- tion of Ontario were working to rule. That meant they weren't coaching or supervis- ing sports and clubs or help- ing Grade 8 students organize year-end graduation events. Tom Thompson, principal of Woodcrest Public School in Oshawa, said the feeling in his school is completely different with the labour action over. "Staff are much happier," he said. "Staff was not happy about what was going on. They were very uncomfort- able with it. They were torn between their professional roles and what the union was dictating to them." At Woodcrest, graduation for Grade 8 students will now go the full nine yards, with a dance and a trip to Wonder- land. A full slate of sports and other activities will return in the fall, but he said the Homework Club might be up and running by the end of the year. Mr. Thompson said "its debatable" how many school sports would be back in the next six weeks -- teachers have a lot to do before the year ends. "The problem now for teachers is they're very much behind in terms of assess- ment and marking before re- port cards come up in the next couple of weeks," he said. ✦See Grade page A2 ✦See Property page A5✦See Newer page A4 Norma Yeomanson, principal at Joseph Gould Public School in Uxbridge, said, "everybody is really glad" the work-to-rule is over. "People tried to stay positive. Everybody is looking to ending the year in a positive way." Luigia Ayotte, programs superin- tendent at the Durham District School Board, said the end of the work-to-rule means the Education Quality and Accountability Office testing for Grade 3 and 6 students can proceed. Teachers had refused to take part in any aspect of the test, and the board had postponed it. She said the test would take place at dif- ferent times depending on the school, with letters already starting to go home to parents giving them three days' notice. Rob Dyment, the board's health and physical education facilitator, is suddenly looking at a number of events in June, and said, "It's nice to be finishing (the year) this way." In schools during the work-to-rule, he said he saw, or rather felt, the im- pact of the labour action. "You could feel it more than it was spoken of," said Mr. Dyment. "The energy level in the schools was really low." That's going to change in a hurry - - just in time for Grade 8 students who felt their last hurrah in elemen- tary school was going to be a bust. On June 9 at Oshawa's Civic Fields, all 100 elementary schools are ex- pected to take part in a track and field meet for Grade 8 students. A co- ed baseball tournament for Grade 7 and 8 pupils is set for June 11 and 12 in Oshawa, and on June 19, a special abilities track and field meet, for ele- mentary and secondary students, takes place at the Civic Fields. To start the month, students, par- ents and teachers are invited to run for the fun of it June 1 in Whitby. Mr. Dyment explained that Grade 11 and 12 leadership students at O'Neill Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute in Oshawa have not been able to work with elementary kids in their feeder schools during the work-to- rule. So, in lieu of coaching a school team or otherwise working with stu- dents, the high schoolers have orga- nized a Fit For Fun Run at Heyden- shore-Kiwanis Park -- and Mr. Dy- ment said everybody's invited, in- cluding parents, teachers and stu- dents from local Catholic schools. Registration is set for 9 a.m. with the three- or five-kilometre run to start at 10 a.m. and Altona, which were expro- priated in the early 1970s for a future airport, added Councillor Rick Johnson, his regional counterpart. Council's letter asking for fu- ture demolitions to be put on hold for a public meeting on the issue took Public Works Canada by surprise, said Patricia Short- Gallé, regional manager, Picker- ing lands, green space and plan- ning. A full briefing was given beforehand at a stakeholders' committee, made up of council members, local community groups and citizens. Public Wo rks Canada also sent letters to Pickering while tendering the demolitions. "We've been very open and forthcoming," she added. In response to some concerns from Markham council and one particular demolition on feder- ally owned lands there, Public Wo rks Canada took that prop- erty off the list, Ms. Short-Gallé pointed out. It will also work with local municipalities, in- cluding Pickering, this summer to "further refine" its list of prop- erties and how they pertain to "true local heritage". Not all homes that are board- ed up are doomed for demoli- tion, she said. Each property is subject to a cost-benefit analy- sis. If the problem is too costly to f ix, the home may come down or simply be "mothballed. "Some buildings may have value in the future but they aren't remediated at the time because it's too expensive. We do an internal clean up of the mould, board it up, heat it and leave the electricity hooked up." Last year, Public Works Cana- da remediated 30 properties. It bulldozed 21. But all of the structures demolished last year had been vacant for some time, and not all houses, said the re- g ional manager. Some were derelict barns and sheds. "We really take it to heart when a cost-benefit analysis doesn't support remediation," said Ms. Short-Gallé, adding some of the homes are so infest- ed with mould crews need respi- ratory gear to enter them. Actions are taken swiftly to ensure the safety of the tenant. Public Works Canada has 10 houses ready on standby to rent out if a home is demolished, she said. If it qualifies for remedia- tion, fully furnished apartments are available on a temporary basis. Regardless, the Pickering Historical Society is considering striking up a committee to fur- ther examine the historical value of boarded homes that may have some heritage poten- tial. Mr. Sabean would like to see such houses restored if at all possible, or at the very least, their materials recovered and used to repair other designated homes. Pickering Museum Village is looking at three boarded-up homes, including the Conces- sion 7 house, to move one to the museum grounds and serve as a future welcoming centre. Local residents have suggested more of the homes with historical value could be moved off site to form their own subdivision somewhere else in Pickering, much like one that exists in Markham. Mr. Sabean envisions moving some of the potential heritage homes to Altona or Brougham, where they can "fill in some of the gaps in the smile" left by past demolitions and find a sim- ilar ambience. Public Works Canada is looking into how such a move to Altona might find into its green space master plan, which lays out protection for some of the federally owned lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Pickering. One of the plan's 15 guiding principles em- phasizes the enhancement of Altona, said Ms. Short-Gallé. "We hope to revitalize Brougham but that will have to wait until the (Greater Toronto Airports Authority) master plan is complete and we know where an airport could be located someday," she added. As for any suggestion the de- molitions are Public Works Canada's method of paving the way for a future airport, the re- gional manager said, "Absolute- ly not". "Our decisions are not based on the future use of the proper- ty. They are based on a cost- benefit analysis," she main- tained, adding the federal gov- ernment has yet to make its final decision on the subject. And, with the GTAA not ex- pected to make its recommen- dations to Ottawa until 2007, an airport will be "many years out".

Liberal leadership hopeful offers qualified support for project BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Paul Martin came to town with a plan to put Canada on the world stage and just maybe at the centre of ITER. Mr. Martin, no longer a cabinet minister but considered to still hold great influence in caucus as the runaway front-runner for the feder- al Liberal leadership race, came to Cobourg to meet with supporters from across Northumberland and Durham Tuesday. While there, he gave qualified support of Canada's bid to host ITER, the International Thermonu- clear Experimental Reactor, in Clarington beside the Darlington Generating Station. "I supported it while in cabinet," said Mr. Martin, who noted he has been talking to area MPs who have been very supportive of the project. "I understand the file (of support- ers) has evolved," added Mr. Mar- tin, who said he must finish review- ing the most recent details before giving his unqualified support. Clarington Mayor John Mutton had a brief opportunity to speak with Mr. Martin on ITER during the luncheon at the Cobourg Lions Club. Referring to Mr. Martin as "the future prime minister", Mayor Mutton said he "appeared very pos- itive the support for ITER is there in caucus through efforts from peo- ple like (Whitby-Ajax MP) Judi Longfield and (Northumberland MP) Paul Macklin," he said. Mr. Martin, whose leadership platform places a strong emphasis on education and health care, said during his interview with the media that ITER may well fall in with the research and development compo- nent of his vision for the country. However, he added, "Clearly we have to establish priorities" for which projects garner support. Mr. Martin delivered a passionate speech about Canada's potential for a strong leadership role in the glob- al village. He recalled when the Lib- erals came to power in the early 1990s that they faced a serious eco- nomic recession. Canada "was a very different place than it is today, very different. “Our economy is strong," he said noting the greatest challenges the country now faces are "from outside our borders." Mr. Martin said he be- lieves Canada can use its position of strength to provide leadership on international issues such as fair trading practices and world eco- nomic policy. When looking within the country, he said, "no doubt the number-one issue is to ensure our health care system is absolutely the best health care system in the world." There is a strong role for the federal govern- ment to play in education as well from early years learning to lifelong learning and research and develop- ment, Mr. Martin added. The Liberals are expected to se- lect a new leader this November. BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A Crown witness who was close enough to see the gun used to shoot Teran Richards four times in a Pickering school gymna- sium couldn't recognize the man accused of being the shooter in court Tuesday. "I take it the defendant, this man in the box, is not familiar to you," defence lawyer David Bayliss, pointing to his client Marlon Maragh in the prisoner dock, asked Ricardo Wade during cross-exami- nation. "I don't remember seeing him at all," Mr. Wade responded. The prosecution alleges Mr. Maragh is the "man in grey" who shot Mr. Richards with a handgun during a pickup basketball game at Pine Ridge High School on April 3, 2001. Mr. Richards, 22, then from Ajax, survived being shot three times in the back and once in the elbow dur- ing the after-hours basketball pro- g ram organized by the City of Pick- ering. A stray bullet also grazed a 15- year-old female spectator's cheek, a jury has heard. Mr. Maragh, 23, of Scarborough, has pleaded not guilty to attempt- ed murder, aggravated assault, f light from police and possession of a firearm while prohibited. Court has heard Mr. Richards was playing in a game of five-on- five when he got into an altercation over a foul with an opposing player. Mr. Wade, 23, was shooting bas- kets on the perimeter when he heard a commotion on the main court. Mr. Wade said he saw an angry Mr. Richards confronting the op- posing player who had punched his teammate, Al Nabe, giving him a bloody nose. Mr. Richards and the other play- er were shoving each other when the game supervisors intervened and held Mr. Richards back, he said. "(Mr. Richards) said he was calm and they released him," Mr. Wade said. However, Mr. Richards raced to- ward the opposing player, who had gone to a bench where two men had been sitting and watching the game. "There was a little bit of pushing back and forth," said Mr. Wade. At that point, Mr. Wade said, one of the two men who had been sit- ting on the bench stood up "holding out a gun pointed at Teran. "He pulled out a gun and started shooting... It was a black gun, it seemed like it had a barrel, it was- n't like a clip gun," the Durham Col- lege student said. The first shot hit Mr. Richards in the arm, who turned his back to the g unman, he said. The gunman fired "a few more shots" and Mr. Richards went down. "Everyone was just scared at this point, running in different direc- tions," he said. "I was pretty much shocked." He described the shooter as black, in his early 20s, about 5-foot- 10 w earing loose clothes, a hood on his head and possibly a do-rag. Mr. Wade stayed with Mr. Richards, who was lying on the f loor, wrapping his shirt around Mr. Richards's arm, trying to stop the bleeding. "I remember him saying, 'I'm going to die.' We were trying to keep him awake. “He looked like he was going un- conscious," Mr. Wade said.

Judge still recovering from ruptured appendix, return expected Monday DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Closing argu- ments in the first-degree mur- der trial of a Pickering man ac- cused of poisoning his preg- nant wife with cyanide have been delayed once again, while the judge recovers from a rup- tured appendix. The 12 jurors showed up Tuesday at the Superior Court expecting to hear Crown and defence final submissions, which had to be postponed May 12 after Mr. Justice Robert Scott suffered the serious health problem. Mr. Justice Bruce Glass, ad- dressing jurors in Justice Scott's absence, said the judge is still receiving medical treat- ment but is "at home conva- lescing." Justice Scott is expected to be ready to resume the five- month trial on Monday, at which time closing arguments will begin, Justice Glass told jurors. Jury instructions and delib- erations will follow final sub- missions.

In all cases, the dead birds weren't touched. Dr. James said that proved more birds didn't hit the tower, as preda- tors would eat dead birds. Of the birds that hit the turbine, "the injuries were consistent with striking a structure in flight," Mr. Edey stated. "It was probably in darkness, but not because they hit the blades." One of the birds killed hit the tower when it wasn't operating. Changes in technology have im- proved the performance and safety factor of turbines, Mr. Edey noted. Older turbines have lattice towers, which attract birds as a nesting place or for a perch for hunting birds, such as hawks. The blades on older turbines also rotate much quicker, between 70 and 80 times per minute, and are pointed down wind, thus increasing the potential for bird strikes. Also, lights on older towers stay on, which attracts birds. Newer turbines have solid towers, face upwind, have a slower and con- stant blade rotation and have flash- ing strobe lights. "They're much, much more ad- vanced machines," Mr. Edey said. The turbine at Pickering has a blade rotation of 15.3 r.p.m. at all times, except when starting. Old turbines are "a whole different class of machine than what we have here. It's like comparing a bicycle to your car," Mr. Edey said. As for the geese, "they fly around it. It's just one more thing in their world," Mr. Edey said. "The mortality of the turbine is comparable to that of a house." A California study found one hawk was being killed by a turbine every 30 years, Dr. James added.

As the rabies' season begins, the Durham Region Health Department is recommending homeowners and parents take some precautions to ensure their homes are bat-proofed and their children are educated about exposure to the animals, which are the most common carrier of rabies. "While less than one per cent of bats carry the rabies virus, it's not possible to determine which bats in a particular colony have the disease. Therefore, precautions should be taken at all times when there is human exposure to bats," says Roman Malanczyi, a senior Durham public health inspector. People are most often exposed to bats in their homes where bats may be nesting and make their way into bedrooms or other living areas. Last year, 79 people were treated with a rabies antidote as a precaution after being exposed to bats. The health department has infor- mation for homeowners on how to bat-proof their homes and how to construct bat houses away from their residence to keep bats from moving back in. Education packages for teachers are also available by vis- iting www.region.durham.on.ca or by calling the department's environ- mental help line at 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2188. when the Metro East Trade Centre was demolished to make way for a Sam's Club warehouse store. A grand opening for the new markets is scheduled for Nov. 1. A large number of Pickering ven- dors have since relocated to his Midtown Merchant's Market in To ronto, said Mr. Hinn. They will make up most of the 90 tenants at this new site. His group has also purchased the 350,000-sq.-ft. Knob Hill Farms in Oshawa for another future flea market. The Knob Hill Farms in Pickering will be used for a flea market in the short term and then make way for a future medical cen- tre about five years down the road, Mr. Hinn said. But the search is on for another property in Pickering to house an even larger, permanent flea market after that of about 300,000 to 400,000 square feet, he said. Regardless of Mr. Hinn's future plans, the City is only concerned with the current zoning of the Knob Hill Farms in Pickering, not compe- tition for the New Pickering Mar- kets, stressed Mayor Wayne Arthurs. "We've gone through a long process to put in place and negoti- ate an alternative site (for the Pick- ering Markets), supporting its de- velopment and supporting the de- velopment of services at the site," the mayor explained. "We have a particular obligation to ensure we don't allow an illegal use to occur if (another market) is operating without the proper zon- ing in place. “We have an obligation to ensure that any time it takes place in the municipality." Owners of the New Pickering Markets are currently working through the process of finalizing site plans and building permits, Mayor Arthurs said. The City has both met with Mr. Hinn and sent him letters advising of the need to rezone the property, but he has yet to submit an appli- cation. "I just think everybody should play by a level playing zone," added Mayor Arthurs. "If (the Knob Hill market) is legal, he can attract all the vendors he wants." Mr. Hinn intends to apply to Pickering's committee of adjust- ment in about two weeks to make the entire Knob Hill building legal for retail sale. In the meantime, the City is cur- rently seeking its own legal opinion on the issue, said the mayor. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 21, 2003 PAGE A5 P JAGUAR & LAND ROVER NOW TOGETHER UNDER ONE LUXURIOUS CANOPY. 2003 Jaguar XJ82003 Range Rover Land Rover Unionville Jaguar Unionville LAND ROVER UNIONVILLE | JAGUAR UNIONVILLE 4340 HIGHWAY #7 EAST,UNIONVILLE, ONTARIO L3R 1L6 tel (905) 948-0030 service (905) 948-0047 A Union of sorts.

The Government of Canada’s Work Sharing Program may help you. What is the Work Sharing Program? This program enables businesses to avoid layoffs by shortening the work week and paying reduced wages accordingly. Eligible workers draw benefits from Employment Insurance (EI) to compensate for the lower wages. Who can participate? Permanent full- or part-time employees eligible to receive regular EI benefits. How can employers qualify? Employers must have been in business in Canada for at least 2 years and demonstrate that the need for reduced hours is temporary, unavoidable and not seasonal. Other measures for employees If you are EI-eligible and have been quarantined you can collect EI benefits immediately without a medical certificate. If you work in a health care setting, had to miss work but are not EI-eligible, you could receive special assistance. We also have programs and services to help those who have lost their job.

Whitby Property owner has expansion plans ✦ Property from page A1 WWAAYYNNEE AARRTTHHUURRSS ‘A particular obligation...’ Tories don't think before they speak Ontario's Progressive Con- servative government has fallen into a danger- ous habit of saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time - just before an election. The Tories, led by Premier Ernie Eves through slips of the tongue and in one case the hand, have got themselves in a succession of mostly unneces- sary controversies. It makes them look insensitive and un- truthful and is unprecedented for a government about to call a vote. The gaffe voters will best re- member, because it was pic- tured on many newspaper front pages, was backbench MPP John O'Toole waving a finger at opponents who objected to his party's unveiling a budget on TV in an auto-parts plant. Most people view this gesture as obscene and manage to ex- press disagreement without using it. The Tory MPP also was ex- posed as untruthful when he claimed he had not made the gesture and was merely shuf- f ling documents, but the cam- eras that broadcast the legisla- ture caught his action and he admitted it. Another Tory backbencher, Joe Spina, was accused of shouting a graphic swear word in Italian at Liberal MPP Do- minic Agostino, who was heck- ling. Mr. Spina tried to fob off re- porters by claiming he was not in the legislature long enough to say anything, but Liberal Marie Bountrogianni, who speaks Italian, said she heard him say it clearly. A third Tory backbencher, Ted Chudleigh, commented 'bull----,' another word most residents would not use in front of their children, when Speaker Gary Carr ruled the Tories showed contempt by staging their budget outside. Finance Minister Janet Ecker said, at one stage, when insist- ing her budget outside the leg- islature was proper, she would do the same again. But as the heat built up, she denied saying it and a TV re- porter dug up a tape showing she had said she would hold it outside again, and an aide ex- plained she forgot. Vo t ers must now wonder if Tories regularly fail to tell the truth unless forced by cameras. Mr. Eves contributed when he was asked why he was golf- ing in Arizona when the World Health Organization issued a warning against travelling to Tor onto because of SARS. He scoffed it would not have changed anything if he had been "hunting for Easter eggs on Easter Sunday in Toronto." Vo t ers would not expect the premier to stay looking for Easter eggs, but would expect him to be in the province, help- ing co-ordinate the response, reassure residents and encour- age health-care workers in its worst health crisis in memory. Premier Eves also told re- porters he supported precau- tions against SARS and wore a surgical mask, but his face must have gone red when he discovered the city of Toronto had already advised wearing a mask was unnecessary and could even raise fears. Energy Minister John Baird joked he had just enjoyed a trip to Asia at a time there were fears of SARS originating there and could have caused On- tario's Asian community to feel it was being further stigma- tized. He later acknowledged he was thoughtless and insensi- tive. Mr. Spina also belittled his Liberal opponent in the elec- tion as "that little girl," a chau- vinism not heard in the legisla- ture for years, and acknowl- edged she is a woman after Lib- erals objected. The comments by Tories were mostly gratuitous - they would not have helped their party even if they had escaped without protest. All parties make offensive re- marks, but the Tories, includ- ing Mr. O'Toole and Mr. Chudleigh, normally among the most polite and proper MPPs, are running up a record num- ber because they are rattled with an election close and the Liberals far ahead in polls and at this stage showing no signs of collapsing. The election also will be de- cided more on policies than slips of the tongue, but the slips hurt the overall image of the government and, if the race is close, could make a difference. For decades, Eric Dowd has been covering provincial poli- tics as a freelance columnist based out of Queen's Park.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ TONY DOYLE, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 254 Letters to the Editor To ry promise on municipal taxes misplaced Tr apping local lawmakers not sensible, fair After eight years at the helm at Queen's Park, the best the Tories can do for cash-strapped municipal- ities is completely tie their hands and prevent them from raising taxes which local democratically-elected rep- resentatives believe are needed. The 'you can't raise taxes or add new ones without a ref- erendum proposal' is a key plank in the Tory election plat- form for the upcoming provincial race. The Tories have cast themselves as the white knights who plan to protect taxpayers against the evil tax-in- creasing local and regional councillors. They describe this as the 'Taxpayer Protection Act.' Never mind that for many years local and regional councils made cuts and bled their budgets dry to avoid tax increases or that the Province, in its move to reorganize responsibilities, ended up downloading services onto local levels of government. In brief, the Conservative pledge demands municipal or regional governments, should they decide on any tax in- crease or new tax, must first hold a referendum and get the support of a majority of taxpayers. Given that taxpayers favour higher taxes as much as they support say, voluntary root canal work, it's not likely many referendums would pass. More likely is that councils would twist themselves into pretzels hacking and slashing necessary services to avoid a tax increase and stay away from a referendum. Consider the impact, for instance, of inflation and cost-of-living increases. What about con- struction price jumps or other unavoidable rises? It will be difficult, if not impossible, for councillors to ex- plain all this to the average taxpayer and convince him or her it's in their best interest to approve a tax increase by way of referendum. With referendums costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to run, who will pay the cost for such a service? No surprise there, as ultimately, one way or an- other, it will be the taxpayer who foots the bill. Though they promise this wrong-headed notion, the Tories, if re-elected, must never implement it. It serves nobody's interest to have the Province bullying local councils. After all, just like MPPs, councillors are ac- countable to the electors they serve and must face the people every third November. On average, councillors must head to the polls more often then their provincial counterparts. Councillors are often closer to the voters they serve and, already, spend many committee and council meetings wrestling with numerous requests from departments and citizens for tax money. The Province must let local and regional councillors do the job we have elected them to do. We can't allow our local services and structures to crumble around us, while our representatives are handcuffed by their Queen's Park masters. The Tories should stick this promise in the shredder, where it belongs. George Henry Kirkpatrick ‘Pat’ St rathy 1918-1940 The streets throughout the Town of Ajax bear the names of the officers and men who served on the H.M.S. Ajax. Strathy Road in south Ajax is one such street. Pat Strathy was assigned to the H.M.S. Ajax in July 1940 and was killed in action on October 12, 1940. Born in England, the Strathy family returned to Toron- to in 1918. Pat graduated from Trinity College School and the University of Toronto. An exceptional scholar, the recipient of numerous scholarships and awards, Pat was one of 20 young Canadian scientists, chosen by the National Research Council of Canada for the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve to work with a new “secret weapon”. These individuals were sent overseas specifically to learn and operate these weapons, first called the radio-locator for radio directional finding. We now know it as radar. Wrong place, wrong time SARS offers new appreciation for health workers TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: The recent deadly outbreak of severe acute respiratory syn- drome (SARS) in this area now seems to have been contained, and hopefully eradicated. I would like to take the oppor- tunity to express thanks and congratulations to our local medical workers. From the people who push the mops and buckets to the top specialists at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, thank you for putting your lives on the line so that the rest of us stay disease-free. Your total profes- sionalism and dedication is something we should all be proud of and I would urge our mayor and council to ensure that words to this effect are sent along to the hospital on behalf of all the citizens of this area. Of course, we should also not forget the similar efforts by our local physicians and their staff who although already over- loaded because of a shortage of resources, came through with f lying colours. Something we can all learn from this is to per- haps be a little more tolerant and show more understanding when a doctor is running late, or the appointment that you want is not available, or the telephone rings for a little bit longer before being answered. Just remember this recent traumatic period for all workers in the health sector and count your blessings.

TToomm BBrreewweerr,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Nurse practitioners have important role to play TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr;; Re: 'Is there a doctor in the house,' News Advertiser, May 14. I wish Ms. Dixon and Mayor Wayne Arthurs' wife well in their search for a new family physi- cian. While Pickering is one of the few communities in Ontario not designated as underser- viced, new residents and those who have lost their regular physician will be hard-pressed to have their routine health-care needs met here in Pickering. One obvious solution to this problem is better utilization of nurse practitioners. As a nurse practitioner (NP), I am able to meet many of the routine health-care needs of area residents. Unfortunately, due to lack of political will, I must work in Toronto at a com- munity Health Centre, one of the few employers in the province for NPs, all while local residents must travel to access health care or resort to walk-in clinics or emergency depart- ments. While better utilization of NPs will not diminish the need for family physicians, it will certain- ly decrease their workload. Nurse practitioners are also utilized in the hospitalist pro- gram at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa, serving as primary-care providers for in-patients who do not have their own physician.

Nodell races out of the gate AAJJAAXX ----An Ajax motorcycle racer got the season off to a flying start dur- ing Round 1 of the 2003 CAN-AM 125 Grand Prix Challenge series at Shan- nonville Motorsport Park, near Belleville, May 18. Stuart Nodell, of Nodell Motor- sports Motorcycle racing team, put his Honda RS125 on the pole on the final lap of qualifying with a time of 1:11.01, followed by John Dempsey, Corey Sherman, and Jim Struke. "The team put me on an excellent motorcycle to get the job done," said Nodell following qualifying. At the start of the 10-lap final, Nodell got off to a quick start and never looked back. By Lap 2 he was breaking away from the field and was able to maintain a pace that no one else could match, cruising home with a solid victory. "With less-than-ideal track condi- tions the Ben Gartner-prepared RS125 worked flawlessly throughout the race and the team's result was a perfect weekend," noted Nodell in a press re- lease. Nodell Motorsports has a Web site at www.nodellmotorsports.com. Felicien scores a perfect 10 PPEERRDDIITTAA FFEELLIICCIIEENN Big Ten Conference hurdles champ. Pickering hurdler claims collegiate crown PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- A city track and field athlete earned some sweet vindica- tion while competing at the 2003 Big Ten Conference championships in Minneapolis last weekend. A year after clipping a hurdle and f inishing second in the conference championships, Perdita Felicien is back on top of the 100-metre hur- dles event after an outstanding day on the track at the University of Minnesota. There, she competed against other athletes from Big Ten univer- sities, including Michigan, Michi- gan State, Penn State, Indiana, Purdue and Ohio State. Felicien ran to the gold medal in a time of 12.88. It was her fastest time of the season, and also the quickest time registered by a colle- g iate hurdler in the U.S. this year. It was her second Big Ten Con- ference 100m hurdles title. "It feels good to win the Big Ten title again, but I was hoping for a little faster time," said Felicien in a story that appeared on the Univer- sity of Illinois athletic Web site. "The wind really threw off my steps and the hurdles came up on me a little fast, but I am happy to get this title back, especially after what happened last season." The Canadian Olympian also earned a silver medal by anchoring the Fighting Illini's 4-x-100m relay team to its best time this season, 44.27 seconds. The Indiana Univer- sity Hoosiers edged the Illinois foursome at the finish line. Felicien also ran in the 100m, fin- ishing eighth in a time of 11.78 sec- onds. Felicien competes at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships in Sacramento, California June 11 to 14. Guerrieri off to fast start Pickering driver wins pole, first race of season PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----A Pickering race-car driver made his first start of the year a winning one at Mosport In- ternational Raceway near Bow- manville last weekend. Chris Guerrieri, entering his sophomore season in the Canadian Formula Ford Racing Series, was among the front-runners in his Vec- tor through most of the season's f irst race and held on to earn the checkered flag by a full seven sec- onds over second-place finisher Di- dier Schraenen of Mont St-Hilaire, Que. After the race, an exhausted Guerrieri said his strategy was to drive hard for the lead, but to stay out of trouble in the process. "I tried to keep my distance all the time. (Louis-Philippe) Du- moulin came by but I still kept my lead. The car held up fine and that is important. I'm very happy," said Guerrieri. But, it was a weekend that tested the mettle of both driver and crew. Friday's qualifying was conducted under rainy conditions, which meant the setup of the car had to be altered to take the inclement weather into consideration. But, by Saturday, the rain gave way to sunny skies. That meant a different setup for the car, noted Guerrieri, last year's rookie of the year in the series. "We were in good shape for quali- fying, but on Friday it poured rain, so we had to make a few last- minute changes. We ended up get- ting the pole... While we had very bad weather on Friday, on Satur- day the clouds opened up and it was sunny. Everybody's good in the sun, but not everybody is good in the rain." Guerrieri said a full racing sched- ule during the winter months helped to keep him sharp behind the wheel. He had several testing sessions in F2000 Fran Am cars in the U.S., as well as driving at sever- al ice rallies in northern Ontario. He noted ice racing prepared him well for Friday's qualifying session. "J ust like any sport, if you stop long enough you get rusty. I did a lot of testing to keep me sharp for the summer and it certainly paid off," he said. Guerrieri set the early pace Sat- urday, followed by veteran Schrae- nen and Olivier Lambert, of Pin- court, Que. Guerrieri received CCHHRRIISS GGUUEERRRRIIEERRII Wins Formula Ford race at Mosport.

Coach's departure behind it, club focuses on floor action BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ----With the tumult of a week ago behind them, the Ajax- Pickering Rock senior 'B' lacrosse team has its focus where it needs to be -- on the game. Last week, the Rock released for- mer head coach Keith Begley three games into the schedule and com- ing off its first win of the season, an 8-6 decision over the Arthur Aces May 11. Rock co-owner and general man- ager Paul St. John took over the head coaching duties at the team's practice last Tuesday. And, he re- ports he and the players are moving ahead with instituting some sys- tems and plays -- something he be- lieves was sorely lacking under Beg- ley's stewardship. "Everyone now knows what's going on and we had a pretty spirit- ed practice," said St. John. "We needed to teach the kids now. They all come from all different organiza- tions and we've got to have plays and systems in hand to get this team to the next level." The Rock works out twice this week in preparation for its game on the road against the St. Clair Storm in Wallaceburg Saturday at 7 p.m. And, although it's a short-time frame to institute the new game plan, St. John is confident a lot of learning can be packed into the coming week. "You can teach very quickly at the senior level because the players tend to pick things up quickly," he said. The Storm, with a lowly 1-4 record to start the season, will be anything but a cakewalk for the upstart Rock, which has started 1-2, with the losses coming to the league- leading Brooklin Merchants (6-0) and to the defending senior 'B' league champion Owen Sound Woodsmen (2-0). St. John pointed to the fact the Storm are one of the highest-scor- ing teams in the league with 47 goals in five games. While St. Clair is averaging more than 11 goals a game, the Rock's offensive output is seven per contest. "Some teams have a poor record because they just haven't played well. But, I would say St. Clair is un- derachieving right now. I hope that with the team we have, we can get a victory," said St. John, adding the Storm have two pro players in their lineup -- Nick Trudeau and John Rosa -- both known for their scoring ability. "I know they have a lot of offence, but I'm not too sure how they are on defence. I understand from other teams that they have a good team and they're pretty tough." The next home game for the Rock is Saturday, May 31 when they host the Mohawk Stars (0-4) at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex at 7 p.m. NNOOTTEESS FFRROOMM TT HHEE RR OOCCKK PPIILLEE:: Although he doesn't plan to institute any lineup changes in the near future, SStt..

The club has al- ready completed a week of training and will conclude its camp this week. After that, the RRoocckk could ex- pect two or three players to join the club. "Definitely.

Schraenen overtook Du- moulin for sec- ond, with Dan Burchill of Mitchell, Ont., third. Guerrieri edged out Schraenen by a slight 0.128 sec- onds for the pole position. The teenage driver enjoys driving the track, saying it's a challenge from the stand- point of keeping your nerves in check. "I'm very comfortable at Mosport. It's a different track. It takes a lot of guts," he said. "It's not as much of a tech- nical track as it is a track that takes a lot of nerves. In the corners you want to let off the throttle, but you have to keep your foot down. People who win at Mo- sport have to deal with their emotions and have the most courage in the corners."

Hosted by the Region of Water- loo (ROW) Swim Club, the May 9 to 11 meet attracted a large contin- gent of competitors from across Ontario. PSC swimmers broke 10 long-course club records during the meet, including one long-standing mark set by Pickering Olympian Lisa Flood in 1986. Jessica Ward swam the girls' 13-14 age group 100-metre breaststroke in 1:18.61, breaking Flood's record of 1:19.40. It wasn't Ward's only record- breaking performance. She also set a new standard in the 100m back- stroke with a time of 1:17.94, three- one-hundredths of a second better than the previous record, set earli- er this year by Renata Jakiw-Zu- rakowsky. Karen Gordon bested three club records at the Waterloo meet. In the girls' 15-16 100m freestyle, Gor- don swam the race in 1:04.36, bet- tering the previous mark of 1:04.74 set by Karen Gerroir in 1996. Gor- don's time of 2:16.71 in the 200m free broke her own club record set earli- er this year at the Ajax Sprint Invi- tational. Finally, Gordon set the new club standard in the 400m free with a time of 4:45.22, which broke the previous mark of 4:49.49 set by Alicia Kaye in 1999. Adam Gomba broke three club records in Waterloo. He eclipsed the club mark in the boys' 11-12 50m backstroke with a time of 35.49. Michael Storto set the previous standard of 37.27 last year. Gomba also set a new mark in the 400m free with a swim of 4:53.79. He oblit- erated the previous mark of 4:57.98 set by Colin Russell in 1996. And, he also broke his own club record in the 200m free. He swam 2:19.04, bet- tering his old mark of 2:19.62 set at the Ajax Sprint Invitational last month. Alysha Lynden broke the former club record in the girls' 11-12 50m breast in a time of 43.21. Laura Barnes set the previous mark of 44.05 in 1999. Alex Griffith is the new club record-holder in the boys' 13-14 50m butterfly.

Bruce Almighty is coming to theatres See movies Friday Fa ther doesn't always know what’s best Comedy looks at man's relationship with son BByy AAlliissoonn BBeellll Special to the News Advertiser AAJJAAXX ––––A father's struggle to deal with the discovery of his son's homosexuality is the focus of a new comedy opening this weekend. 'Norman is that You?' hits the stage at Herongate Barn Theatre Friday. "The subject matter has changed dramatically over the past 30 years," said di- rector Glenn Ottoway. "First it was frowned upon, then people were proud, and now it's just part of life." After dealing with domes- tic issues, Ben, played by George Waugh, leaves his wife and job as a dry clean- er in Ohio and goes to see his son, Norman, played by Michael Savage, in New York. He is shocked to find out his son is gay and living with his partner. L aughter erupts when Ben, through a series of mishaps, tries to change his son's mind. "It is very funny," said Mr. Ottoway, a comedian him- self. The play marks his re- turn to the director's chair, and his first play on stage at Herongate. "I've wanted to get back into theatre for a long time," he said. His five cast members are from Ajax, Whitby, Bow- manville and Scarborough. They have been rehearsing since the beginning of April, and starting next week will meet nightly on the set. The play opens Friday, May 16 and runs until June 28 at Herongate, 2885 Al- tona Rd., in Whitevale. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Fa ther-son relations are put to the test in the new Herongate offering, ‘Norman is that You?’ The play stars Robert Culvert, front, and back from left, George Waugh, Marion Reid-Clarke, Michael Savage and Diana Czortek.
