Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo May have only 10-20 years left if action not taken BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Frenchman’s Bay is dying. The jewel of Pickering may only have 10 to 20 years left to live if something isn’t done soon to stop contami- nants and sediment from Hwy. 401 and other arterial roadways from seeping into the bay, say scientists. “Its long term future is questionable. This isn’t a do- nothing option,” says Profes- sor Nick Eyles, part of a uni- versity research group that has spent the last two years studying the Frenchman’s Bay watershed. His team has recommend- ed a series of water retention ponds be built at the north end of the bay to control storm water flows, filter out sediment, and improve water quality. The project, he estimates, could cost $10 million. “Water becomes trapped in the ponds and over time, the sediment comes out of suspension and settles to the bottom of the pond,” Prof. Eyles explains. “As the water moves through each successive pond it gets cleaned up. The sediment is vacuumed out every 10 years and sent to a landfill.” With a population of 50,000 people living within the area, Frenchman’s Bay is one of the most densely ur- banized watersheds in Cana- da. Severing it in two is a 500-metre wide transporta- tion corridor made up of Kingston Road, the Canadi- an National Rail Line, GO Transit and VIA rail lines, 12 lanes of Hwy. 401 and Bayly Street. In its final report, the re- search group, made up of scientists from University of Toronto and McMaster Uni- versity, found road runoff from the transportation cor- ridor has had the greatest negative impact on French- man’s Bay. As much as 100 tonnes of fine suspended sediment containing elevat- ed levels of metals and other urban contaminants such as road salt, metals and nutri- ents enters the bay each year. The most “degradation” is in the north end of the bay, immediately downstream of Hwy. 401, the report states. Those storm waters have No charges laid PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Armed with knives, a disturbed man bar- ricaded himself in a town- house and held police at bay for six hours, until tactical of- ficers stormed the residence early yesterday and ended the standoff. The 23-year-old man, who was taken into custody under the Mental Health Act, had several self-inflicted stab wounds to his chest and neck and was rushed to hospital by ambulance, Durham Re- gional Police said. His wounds weren’t be- lieved to be life-threatening, police said. Sergeant Paul Malik said police were called to the Eyer Drive home in the Bayly Street and Whites Road area at 8 p.m. Monday after the mentally distraught man barricaded himself in a bedroom and threatened to kill himself. A police negotia- tor and psychologist made contact with the man by phone, but couldn’t coax him out of the home after several hours of talks. At about 2:35 a.m., police fired tear gas through a window and offi- cers made a “dynamic entry” into the home, arresting the man, said Sgt. Malik. No charges will be laid, he said. Six-hour standoff in Pickering Region says 'No' to overtime pay for top two medical officers BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr aanndd MMaarrttiinn DDeerrbbyysshhiirree Staff Writers DDUURRHHAAMM — After hundreds of overtime hours dealing with the SARS outbreak, Durham's medical officers of health are being left out of a huge compensation package. Durham's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Kyle, and Dr. Donna Reynolds, the associate MOH, were not in- cluded in a $400,000 to $600,000 overtime package passed by regional council at an in-camera (private) meet- ing last Wednesday. The package, to be provided to Durham from the Province, will pay for the extra time- management put in during the severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak. "I am concerned about the message this sends," Dr. Reynolds said. "Public health physicians are a rare com- modity. This issue raises con- cerns about how organiza- tions can expect to recruit and retain qualified physi- cians. "The expectations (on us) seem so endless... but the value and respect seem so fi- nite." Dr. Kyle did not return calls for comment. One of the most public faces during the crisis, Dr. Reynolds even spent 10 days in quarantine after coming into contact with a suspected SARS-infected health care worker in Toronto. She was there after being brought in by the Province to work at the provincial SARS operations centre. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said he could not comment on a decision made in-camera. "I won't debate in public confidential matters or em- ployees' comments," he said. "The compensation package was an in-camera issue and it's a staff issue and it should have stayed in camera and the fact the media is aware of it in regards to staffing and morale is disheartening to say the least." Staff compensation was a "major debate" when it first came up at a health and so- cial services committee meet- ing more than three weeks DDRR..

Det. Sgt. Mike Davis of the homicide squad said Mohamad, a driver for Able Atlantic Taxi in Scar- borough, confronted the suspect and tried to disarm him. But the gunman turned on the 53-year-old father of five and fatally shot him. “The suspect attempted to open the cash register, but was unsuc- cessful and fled empty-handed,” Davis told reporters during a news conference at Toronto Police Head- quarters yesterday. “Since the day of the murder, there’s been an extensive investiga- tion but unfortunately a minimal re- sponse of assistance from the com- munity. We are now attempting to reach out to the community.” In an effort to get information, a Crime Stoppers poster with a photo of Mohamad will be placed on the front of 150 Toronto Sun boxes in Scarborough. “I’m frustrated that nobody’s come forward or called. I know there’s somebody that knows some- thing out there,” Rick Arbaji said. “Today what I’m asking for is for somebody out there, if you know anything please come forward and let’s get a killer off the streets.” The gunman is black, between 17 and 20 years old, five-feet seven- inches tall with a thin build. He was wearing dark clothing including a bandana and a wool hat. Anyone with information is urged to call the homicide squad at 416- 808-7400 or Crime Stoppers at 416- 222-TIPS.

Andrew Palamarchuk photo Please recycle Greater Toronto Area, Durham numbers top national poll BByy MMaarrttiinn DDeerrbbyysshhiirree Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — According to a new study by an indepen- dent research team, On- tario’s cops are tops. After interviewing a total of 1,667 people across Canada (458 in Ontario), public opinion research firm Pollara, Inc., found that impression ratings for local police forces are high- est in Ontario. In fact, Pollara’s re- search shows 77 per cent of Ontario residents surveyed give their local police a positive job rating, com- pared to the national aver- age of 68 per cent. Among residents of the Greater Toronto Area, in- cluding Durham, the figure is even higher at 79 per cent. Durham Regional Po- lice Chief Kevin McAlpine said the results were good, but the force is always looking to do better. “Certainly anytime the residents say they’re satis- fied with what we are doing we are very pleased, but anytime we’re less than 100 per cent we know we’ve still got work to do,” he said. “Overall, we are proud of our accomplish- ments and the good work we do.” In 2002, Durham police released its own region- wide police survey showing 86 per cent of the region’s residents were satisfied with the quality of police service. Chief McAlpine said with 26,723 people sur- veyed in the Durham study, it represents an even more accurate picture of how local residents feel about the local police force. The Durham survey re- sults are accurate plus or minus 3 per cent, 19 times out of 20. The Pollara re- port, entitled ‘Policing Per- spectives: Public Percep- tions of Law Enforcement in Canada’, also found 76 per cent of Canadians rate the relations between po- lice and neighbourhood residents as “excellent” or “good.” “These results are in- dicative of the positive re- lationship which has been established between Cana- dians and their police offi- cers,” said study author Sandra Austin. “Still, near- ly half (47 per cent) of re- spondents report that there are too few police in their neighbourhood.” The study also found 57 per cent of Canadians are concerned specifically about the amount of money that is given to law enforcement agencies to do their job. Chief McAlpine says these prob- lems are simply a reality of modern policing. “The days of being fully staffed and funded to do all the things the community wants are long gone,” he said. “I think there is a gener- al feeling that police agen- cies are doing their best with the resources they have available,” said Ms. Austin, a long-time Durham resident. “But Canadians on the whole are concerned about the resources that are given to police agencies to fight crime.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 16, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P pickeringtowncentre.com Just redeem your receipts at the Guest Services kiosk to receive your free gift.

DDUURRHHAAMM — Six motorists are charged with drinking and driving after being nabbed at RIDE spotchecks last weekend, Durham Regional Police said. Officers operating the RIDE program in Oshawa, Clarington and Port Perry stopped 5,700 vehi- cles and administered 48 roadside breath tests. In addition to the six drivers charged with exceeding the legal limit of 80 mgs, one person also was charged with refusing a breath demand, Durham police said. Four motorists were handed 12- hour licence suspensions after blowing a ‘Warn’ on breathalyser tests. Six charged in RIDE spotcheck Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your community than any other newspaper Metroland Durham Region Media Group ago, said Pickering Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner. "Many of us felt strongly... that every staff member, regardless of the level of administration, that put their lives on the line, should be compen- sated," he said. Oshawa Regional Councillor Cathy Clarke, who voted in favour of asking the Province for more money for Dr. Kyle and Dr. Reynolds, agreed. "These two went above and beyond their regular duties," she said. "They not only helped Durham Region deal with the SARS crisis, they helped the whole province." But the salaries of the doctors - $164,309.67 for Dr. Kyle and $134,341.29 for Dr. Reynolds - should be enough, said Oshawa Regional Councillor John Gray. "(They) are already compensated very well," he said. "I have a problem paying time-and-a-half to our top- level senior people just for doing their job." Coun. Gray compared the work of Dr. Kyle and Dr. Reynolds to that of finance staff doing extra work during budget time because of provincial downloading - and never receiving extra pay. "I don't want to set that kind of precedent," he said. "It just sends the wrong kind of message to our senior people." Thousands of extra hours were put in by directors, managers and staff during the three-month SARS crisis, Dr. Reynolds said, leaving everyone "weary but proud." She said she and Dr. Kyle are happy council approved extra compensation for them. "As to the exclusion of myself and Dr. Kyle, I will have to leave the ex- planation to others." The package passed during coun- cil was part of a policy that deter- mines how overtime pay will be divvied up during "emergency situa- tions" like SARS, Chairman Ander- son said. "In cases of emergency, similar to the SARS outbreak, management will be dealt with in a similar fashion to other employees as per their con- tacts," he said. "They would get over- time in emergency situations." Chairman Anderson refused to go into details about the confidential re- port, but said while the policy is a guideline for the future, it does apply backwards to the SARS crisis. Durham is expecting to bill the Province between $400,000 and $600,000 in staff overtime, which doesn't include any economic loss the Region suffered Chairman An- derson said. The money is part of a $10-million commitment from the Province, which will pay up to 100 per cent of the extraordinary costs suffered by municipalities in the GTA and Sim- coe County. Those costs include staff overtime and emergency medical services and operations centres. "We'll send something in that they have to approve," Chairman Ander- son said. "We'll submit as soon as we have the final numbers." eroded what was once an extensive wetland along the north shore into small islands. The loss of habitat has resulted in changes in fish population and aquatic life. In the south end of the bay, wa- ters inflowing from Lake Ontario have diluted some of the impacts but the team warns “deteriorating water quality and progressive loss of habitat throughout the entire bay is inevitable as the urban population of the watershed continues to grow.” “I think we knew we had a prob- lem. What we needed was a study to bring forward facts we had a suspi- cion about,” says Jim Dike, chair- man of the board for the French- man’s Bay Yacht Club and a mem- ber of Pickering’s Waterfront Co-or- dinating Committee. “It’s never going to be perfect, the way it was 100 years ago, but I think it can be improved,” he adds. Scientists had thought more could be done upstream to save the bay but Prof. Eyles points out the transportation corridor would negate that work. Any remediation must be done south of Hwy. 401. His team’s estimate also includes a water retention pond to be built at the end of Sandy Beach Road, where Krosno Creek runs into the bay. But Prof. Eyles says the group is also working out cost projections for piping the creek to the water reten- tion ponds at the north end of the bay but that may include major roadwork. “Krosno Creek is in the worst shape,” he says, of the four creeks that feed Frenchman’s Bay. “Krosno is more or less 100 per cent urban- ized, running in urban pipes and concrete panels.” Pickering staff is currently review- ing the report, which will be dis- cussed at the City’s finance and op- eration committee meeting in Sep- tember. In the meantime, the group is hoping to create a working team of different levels of government, Toronto Region Conservation offi- cials and university scientists to come up with a play it can pitch to potential funders. “There’s no way the $10 million price tag is going to happen on the City’s back alone and in all fairness, it shouldn’t,’ says Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, chairman of the Waterfront Co-ordinating Committee. With Hwy. 401 the biggest culprit and the quality of drinking water in Lake Ontario threatened, the health of Frenchman’s Bay should be a shared concern and responsi- bility of both the Province and fed- eral government as well, he says.

PET SUMMER CARE AND SAFETY TIPS The following tips will help with the care and comfort of your pet during the hot summer months. Some are applicable year round. NEVER LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN A PARKED CAR IN WARM WEATHER. Even if the car is parked in the shade and the windows are cracked open. The interior of a car can reach excessive temperatures. Your companion animal could suffer from heat stroke, brain damage or even death. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR PET OUTSIDE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, MAKE SURE IT HAS ACCESS TO PLENTY OF CLEAN, FRESH WATER, PROPER SHELTER AND LOTS OF SHADE. It is not advisable to leave your companion animal outside for any extended period of time. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL TO FEND FOR ITSELF. Arrange for a responsible pet sitter or a responsible boarding kennel to care for your pet. If you take your cat or dog with you, make sure it always wears a collar with current I.D. EXERCISE YOUR PET MODERATELY IN THE MORNING OR EVENING WHEN IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE. Use common sense and do not make your dog run behind your bike or roller blades. Don’t let your dog ride in the open back of a pick-up truck. The risk is too great for both your dog and other motorists. GROOM YOUR PET ON A REGULAR BASIS. Regular grooming will keep your cat or dog free of matts and excess hair, while also helping to detect fleas and ticks. Shaving an animal is not a good idea as fur actually insulates and protects the skin from sun and insect bites. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CAT OR DOG TO RUN AT LARGE. Warm weather means an increase in roaming animals. Make sure your companion animal is confined to the indoors or to your yard. SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO WELCOME A NEW ANIMAL INTO YOUR HOME. Make sure you are ready and committed to bringing an animal home for the rest of its life - not just the duration of the summer. If you are able to accept the responsibilities of being a pet owner, please visit the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services Centre where there are many wonderful animals needing a loving home. S.

Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo ✦ Frenchman’s from page 1 Boarders’ RV goes up in smoke BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer AAJJAAXX —Bummer, dudes. A motor home carrying touring skateboarders was destroyed in a fire on Hwy 401 just east of Harwood Av- enue Monday afternoon. The driver and passengers escaped the blaze uninjured, but the fire and heavy smoke caused the closure of all eastbound lanes for about 10 min- utes, resulting in a traffic backlog. The smoke and flames apparently weren’t severe enough to stop the group from saving their boards and other equipment. “They got out, got their gear out and the thing went up in flames,” said Constable Shayne Simpson of the Whitby OPP detachment. He said the party of “apparent- ly...well-known skateboarders” from California, the subject of a series or movie, are going town-to-town and were on their way to Ottawa. Around 12:40 p.m. the group heard a ‘pop’ sound and thought they had blown a tire until smoke and flames began coming from the engine. The driver pulled over but there was little to be done as the large recreational vehicle burned quickly. “It was fully involved upon our ar- rival,” said Randy Wilson, Ajax Fire and Emergency Services chief. He said it took about 45 minutes to fully extinguish the blaze, which he said was “well under control in 30 minutes.” Chief Wilson estimated the value of the 1989 vehicle at $35,000. Constable Simpson said the skate- boarders’ tour organizer was with the party and taxis ferried the group to Oshawa, where they rented vehicles and apparently were on their way again. Dude, where’s my Winnebago? Rouge Valley Health officials re- ceived a letter from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care June 24, advising the hospital it will re- ceive a cash advance of $1.4 million in SARS compensation for its Ajax and Scarborough sites. That represents 75 per cent of the claim Rouge Valley submitted to the Province, said president and chief executive officer Hume Mar- tin. “The remaining 25 per cent is to be considered subsequently,” he said. “I fully expect the ministry will cover those costs.” Rouge Valley’s total claim was $1.9 million for such things as 24- hour screening, the installation of negative pressure rooms and air handling systems for its isolation clinic, and for extra masks, gloves and gowns. But that doesn’t include another $1 million in lost revenues for such things as parking, private room ac- commodations, television rentals and cafeteria food. “Those items weren’t eligible for compensation,” Mr. Martin said.

The 44-year-old Oshawa man died March 10, 2001 in the emer- gency room at Lakeridge Health Oshawa from a heart attack trig- gered by acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Less than 24 hours earlier, he had turned himself into police for failing to appear on a break-and- enter charge. The inquest heard his demeanour changed from calm and polite to agitated and halluci- natory by the time of his bail hear- ing the next morning. He didn’t appear in court but was ordered to undergo a mental health assessment in hospital in- stead. An inquest is mandatory in deaths, which occur in police cus- tody. “Our hope is, through this in- quest, we not only answered the five questions surrounding Mr. Webster’s death,” said presiding coroner Dr. William Lucas. “But also through the recommendations made by the jury, some good may result, that an untimely death like his may be prevented in the fu- ture.” Most of the jury’s 11 recommen- dations were directed at Durham Regional Police, suggesting the force develop a “future mechanism” to transmit relevant medical infor- mation along with prisoners going to hospital, or from officer to offi- cer. In the meantime, the prisoner lodging form should be used as a “travel form”. Earlier this week, Constable Kathy Johnston testified she knew little about Mr. Webster other than he needed to be transported to hospital for a mental health assess- ment before picking him up in her cruiser from the Oshawa court- house. The inquest heard a prisoner lodging form filled out when Mr. Webster was booked listed he suf- fered from seizures, but little else was noted about the man’s condi- tion. That form didn’t follow Mr. Webster into the hospital but was likely with his personal belongings, as is customary, which were in the cruiser’s trunk. “It was my uneducated opinion that it was a men- tal health issue,” she said. Triage nurse Ann Marie Batten told the jury she knew Mr. Webster by name because he had been treat- ed under her care before at the hospital for mostly “mental health issues.” She had referred him to the hospital’s crisis inter- vention team, who the in- quest heard had suggested the man get treatment for alcohol withdrawal treat- ment in July 2000. But emergency staff did- n’t have access to those files when Mr. Webster was brought in, arms flailing and in a state of hallucina- tion, Ms. Batten said. Not only should the pris- oner lodging form be ex- panded to include more medical information and observations during cell checks, but also take into account changes in behav- iour, the jury recommend- ed. Officers should have a 15-minute overlap in shift changes to ensure informa- tion on prisoners is re- viewed. Booking officers should note symptoms of alcohol and drug with- drawal as well as the last time drugs or alcohol were taken. Recommendations were also directed to the Province and Ministry of Public Safety and Security to revise statutes related to confidentiality of patient records and review prison- er care and control within the next year. Afterwards, Staff- Sergeant Brian Fazackerly, representing the Durham Regional Police, praised the jury’s short and long- term thinking “I will be taking these recommendations back to be considered by the chief, our executive leaders group, police services board and civilian gover- nance,” he said. Earlier in the week, the inquest heard a mandatory Special Investigations Unit ruled in June 2001, “that Mr. Webster received rea- sonable and compassion- ate care while in police cus- tody.” This week’s inquiry did mean reliving those un- pleasant events again for the officers involved in Mr. Webster’s care two years ago, said Staff-Sgt. Faza- ckerly. “They were very humane in the way they treated him,” he added. “Recount- ing it is never easy, but they are professional peo- ple and part of the office they’ve been discharged is giving evidence in court.” Inquest calls for more police training An award-winning news team! Keeping an eye on the news News Advertiser ..Read by more people in your community than any other newspaper Metroland Durham Region Media Group Recycled ideas keep on comingand coming and... We seem to be in the middle of movie sequel hell right now. Take a quick glance through the entertainment section of any newspaper and you'll see what I mean. Everything old is new again. The interesting thing is that this recycling of themes seems to limit itself largely to the cinema only. Occasionally you'll see a hit TV show spawn a spin-off or two, but these are not techni- cally sequels. The phenome- non almost never happens in the world of print. Some authors have made good livings deliberately cranking out books starring the same character, but these, with the exception perhaps of the fantastically successful Harry Potter series, are usual- ly niche kind of books, not blockbusters. The big books, the ones everyone has heard about, the ones we re-read again and again and study in school are somehow sacro- sanct. Why, for instance has no one ever penned a sequel to Melville's classic 'Moby Dick'? Surely there is an audience out there for the much sexier 'Moby 2 - A View to a Krill' or 'Dive Hard'. Where is 'Uncle Tom's Cabin Cruiser"? 'The Manchurian Incumbent'? 'Atlas Yawned'? Or 'Hey look, it's Godot'? And who wouldn't want to read more about F. Scott Fitzgeralds' now middle- aged and somewhat pear- shaped protagonist in 'The Great Fatsby'? Aren't there also millions to be made in the very lucrative world of children's sequels? 'The Cat in the Wheelchair'? 'Where the Wild Things Were'. Or the unsurprising but still very readable 'There's Waldo'. Don't forget, too, about that other clever plot-regurgitating device, the prequel. The Star Wars people have very adeptly mined millions from our pock- ets using this little invention so who knows how many copies 'The Second Last of the Mohicans' might have sold? Or what about 'To take aim at a Mockingbird'? Or 'Gulliver's Itinerary'? Does all this sound silly? Laughable? Why then will we line up in droves to see endless variations and permutations of Rockys, Predators and Ter- minators? I'm not pointing fingers here folks. I'll be in those line-ups with you. I'm currently looking forward tremendously to hearing Arnie say his newest five lines of dia- logue as only he can. My question is, why is it only the movies? I love books, probably even more than I love films. But I really don't think I would be at all inter- ested in reading a sequel to any of my favourites. Perhaps that's because a re- ally good story, a story that resonates with something deep down inside you, whether told in print or on celluloid, leaves nothing else to be said. It is the complete package and anything else is merely chaff. Or maybe, and more to the point, probably it's something much more mundane. Maybe publishers just haven't gotten as hungry for our money as film producers have. If that is indeed the case, then it won't be long at all be- fore bookstore displays are crammed with the likes of 'Catch-23', '1985', 'Funeral of a Salesman', 'Still Quiet on the Western Front,' etc. etc. etc. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, an actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Not compensating top health officials for SARS is the wrong decision Not compensating top health officials for SARS is the wrong decision. While we're happy Durham council is attempting to set guidelines and follow precedent when it comes to bestowing staff bonuses, they've missed an obvious exception-to-the- rule when it comes to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) compensation. Given the chance to provide additional provincially-paid compensation for health department managers who went above and beyond the call of duty during the SARS crisis, councillors said 'Yes' to all regional managers who toiled to fight SARS - but 'No' to the two people who led the charge, the medical and associate medical officers of health. According to those we spoke with who attended a closed- door meeting to decide on bonuses, some politicians are at- tempting to stick to a precedent set previously when man- agers grappled with the weight of provincial downloading. Top managers were not paid extra for that work so, it is ar- gued, top managers should not be bonused for their long hours battling SARS. Downloading was undoubtedly difficult to deal with, but it can't be compared to the SARS crisis when lives were on the line and decisions made under fire could have had a fatal im- pact. It's hard to compare long hours of number-crunching with the sudden onset of a deadly 21st century airborne dis- ease. SARS thrust us into an unpredictable, worldwide health crisis that caused panic and tremendous stress on our health-care system. Strong leadership and unwavering round-the-clock dedication were needed to calm public fears, manage our health departments and save lives. Med- ical officer of health Dr. Robert Kyle and associate medical officer of health Dr. Donna Reynolds did an outstanding job of alerting the public to the dangers of SARS. Their efforts, in part, ensured there were no SARS fatalities during the four-month outbreak in Durham and the number of sus- pected and probable cases never rose above a handful across the region. Let's not forget Dr. Reynolds, forced into SARS isolation because of her job, continued to fight the battle from behind closed doors and windows. While nurses and hospital staff put in punishing hours and have been paid for their extra ef- forts, Region politicians have cut senior managers out of the provincially-funded compensation packages. It can be argued Dr. Kyle at $164,341.29 (2002) and Dr. Donna Reynolds at $134,309.67 are well-paid for their regular responsibilities, and as senior managers they are expected to go above and beyond the day-to-day requirements of the job. But bonuses for senior staff should be considered when those staff members accomplish something truly out of the ordinary. Can there be any more clear-cut example of the ex- ception-to-the-rule? We acknowledge council's effort to stick to precedent, but it should realize it has made a mistake by excluding Dr. Kyle and Dr. Reynolds. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson should call an emergency meeting of council and councillors should vote 'Yes' to including the top two health department officials as part of compensation provided by the Province for exceptional work during the SARS crisis. 717 Audley Road, Ajax Built in 1879, this is a lovely example of an old farm house. The original windows and brackets were still in place in the late 1980's. This land was originally part of the 6,400 acres given to Major John Smith in1795 by Lieutenant Governor General John Graves Simcoe. Out of the 74,600 acres of land that made up Pickering Township, Simcoe had place 18,000 acres in the hands of five peo- ple by the time he had completed his term of office in 1796.

Martin letter of June 9, 2003 I am about to leave for inter- national negotiations in Tokyo on the ITER fusion energy re- search and development centre. Canada is participating, along with the European Union, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United States, China and South Korea. These nations are committed to building the ITER research centre as the last step before development of a com- mercial fusion power plant. For Canada, ITER also represents a tremendous opportunity for in- ternational leadership in safe and sound scientific research, and economic benefits through direct foreign investment, jobs and a brain gain. It was therefore disappoint- ing to read the comments in your July 9 publication. The let- ter leads the reader to overlook the importance of research into new large-scale energy sources and to ignore the facts: 1) Fusion is inherently safe. This has been proven over decades by existing fusion facil- ities around the world. The fu- sion process stops if exacting conditions are not met. 2) Canadian taxpayers stand to gain from ITER. As host to ITER, Canadian taxpayers would see the benefits from $9.4 billion of direct foreign invest- ment coming to Canada. This investment will create thou- sands of jobs and generate bil- lions in economic activity. 3) The amount of energy ITER requires is insignificant. It is no different from other re- search centres in comparison to the size of Ontario's energy sup- ply network and will be used to create a solution for the future of the world's energy supply. 4) Fusion is clean. It produces no greenhouse gases. The waste from ITER will be stored in ex- isting facilities and be secured by established technologies. In addition, one of the purposes of ITER is to develop materials to ensure that fusion plants of the future do not produce any ra- dioactive waste. 5) ITER is a research centre. The purpose of ITER is to fur- ther the development of fusion energy. It will not, and is not in- tended to, be a power plant. 6) ITER supports govern- ment policies. These include the commitment to the principles of the Kyoto Protocol, Natural Re- sources Canada's Sustainable Development Strategy, the global strategy for Canadian science and technology outlined in the Throne Speech, Canada's Innovation Strategy and the commitment to Federal-Provin- cial co-operation. Perhaps most importantly, Canada has an opportunity to participate in collaborative sci- entific research into safer, clean- er energy sources - something I would have expected the Sierra Club to endorse.

My grandson visited me on his 31st birthday June 9 and gave me permission to write of his lasting friendship with his Big Brother Tom Hart, who is well-knownin the Durham Re- gion and won the citizen of the Year Award in 2002. My grandson Ian attended. Tom Hart attended the wed- ding of his little brother Ian. The very first year the idea came up of writing to nominate his best friend for Big Brother of trhe year, Tom Hart won with Ian's essay.

Pickering Museum Village ICKERING USEUM PM www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 16, 2003 PAGE 7 P Event puts the sizzle in the steak BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The smell and smoke of sizzling beef was too much to resist for dozens of people who hit the lawn of Region headquarters for a barbecue to support local cattle- men, Wednesday. The afternoon feast of hamburg- ers was put on by the Region, En- bridge Gas Distribution, Loblaws and the Durham Cattlemen’s Asso- ciation in hopes of bringing positive attention to the local beef industry - one that brings in $38 million a year and is suffering after the discovery of mad cow disease in one Alberta cow nearly seven weeks ago. The president of the cattlemen’s association calls it “the most devas- tating” crisis the industry has ever seen. “The Region has not only been af- fected as a beef provider, but every- one in the food chain” including slaughter houses, processors, stores and farm workers, said John Wolters, who represents 865 cattle farmers in Durham. “The only thing some people are getting by on now is extra credit.” While no Durham farms have been forced to close yet, the worst could still hit when many farmers try to sell their “fat cattle” in the fall, said Mr. Wolters, who farms in Black- stock. The price of beef, normally at $1.75 to $1.85 per pound, has plum- meted to as low as 75 to 85 cents. “(At that cost) there’s no use try- ing to sell them,” Mr. Wolters said. “It’s a different situation with cat- tle: you can’t just pull the key and turn them off. The costs go on and taxes have to be paid.” But, the Region is trying to help. “We have to do something to show our food is healthy, safe and di- gestible,” said Region chairman Roger Anderson, standing among a line of beef-hungry people that stretched from one end of the Ross- land Road and Garden Street lawn to the other. “If this keeps dragging on, someone is going to have to pay them (cattlemen) a lot of money. “The only way to stop that is to open the border.” That border is the American one, which almost immediately shut out Canadian beef after the mad cow case. It’s estimated the cattle indus- try is losing $11 million a day in ex- ports since other countries closed their borders to Canadian beef. But the border scare hasn’t per- suaded Liz and Ed Kennedy to avoid beef. The Whitby couple sat on a shaded bench enjoying plump Durham beef burgers. “We’re here to show we have faith in our government and to support our farmers,” said Mrs. Kennedy, who has never stopped buying beef. “It’s a scary thing, yes, but you can’t give up living.” Her husband agreed. “If things are handled properly, there’s no real need for fear,” Mr. Kennedy said. Greg Smith, who sat under a tree with his wife Kathleen and baby daughter Kaila, said his family was eating beef the night the mad cow scare began - and has never stopped. “I think we’re getting picked on by the U.S.,” he said, as Mrs. Smith slipped a nugget from a burger into Kaila’s mouth. “We’ve always been beef eaters... and have been buying it all along.” -- wwiitthh ffiilleess ffrroomm TToorrSSttaarr NNeewwss SSeerrvviiccee A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 16, 2003 www.durhamregion.com JULY 2 TO JULY 26, 2003 BIG TICKET EVENTTICKET EVENT 50 years of quality, value, service, trust NE073M203 ©2003.

Series begins Friday in Pickering BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ——The Ajax-Pickering Rock hopes a solid first season of se- nior 'B' lacrosse will translate into a good playoff run when the post-sea- son opens later this week. The expansion Rock will play its first-ever, first-round best-of-three se- ries in the Ontario Lacrosse Associa- tion's senior 'B' league against the Burlington Chiefs, beginning Friday night at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 8:30 p.m. The series continues Saturday in Burlington at 8:30 p.m. Game 3 in the series, if necessary, is at the complex next Tuesday night at 8:30 p.m. The Rock finished the regular sea- son with a 10-6 record, good enough for fourth place in the regular-season standings. They finished out the 2003 regular-season campaign with a 10-9 loss to the visiting Chiefs at the com- plex Saturday night. Meanwhile, Burlington ended up in fifth place in the standings with a 6-9- 1 record. Burlington's win over Ajax- Pickering, coupled with the Arthur Aces' loss to the Ennismore Sham- rocks last weekend, vaulted the Chiefs into fifth place, thus drawing the Rock in the post-season. Rock co-owner Rob Roche noted there's not much to choose between the two teams, which should trans- late into a competitive series with nei- ther team having a decided edge heading into Game 1 Friday. "They're a very solid team. They have a couple of good players who we're going to have to shut down," says Roche. "It definitely should be a good match-up. We're both right in the centre of the standings, so the teams are evenly matched. It's going to be a tight series, that's for sure." The Rock's playoff ambitions will hinge on several factors, notes Roche. He points out the team will have to play defence with the same intensity it showed during the regular season. Pro goaltender Mike Miron will have to be as good or better than he has in the regular season. And, the team's snipers -- newcomer Nick Trudeau, team captain Brad Cann and Rob Milnes -- will have to continue to show the way offensively. "Definitely, we're going to have to play tough defence, but our offence is going to have to score goals. We're confident that we can score goals," he says. Having home-floor advantage, es- pecially in a short, best-of-three series should be a huge advantage for the Rock, notes Roche. "We'd like to beat them in two games but, if not, we like the fact we have the home-floor edge," he says. The Rock, however, won't be enter- ing the post-season on a high note, after losing its final regular-season home game of the season to the Chiefs, losing 10-9 in a shootout. With the playoffs looming, the Rock decided to sit out a number of play- ers, including Joe Hiltz, Kevin Taylor, newcomer Jay McKeracher, Chris McKeown and Chad Martin in prepa- ration for the playoffs. Starting goal- tender Mike Miron was rested in favour of Jay Preece, with Miron com- ing on in the third period. Nick Trudeau led the way with four goals and two assists, to pad his al- ready impressive and league-leading stats. Trudeau finished as the league's leading point getter (35 goals, 32 assists for 67 points) and the lead- ing scorer (35 goals) this season. Also scoring for the Rock against Burling- ton were Grant Johnston with two goals, Pat VanHooser, Jeff Farmer and Cann with one apiece. Other as- sists went to Cann with three, Farmer with two, Johnson, Shawn Summer- field and John Desrochie, all with one.

City driver Guerrieri second at Toronto Indy Racer still second in Formula Ford drivers’ standings PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— A local race car driver did double duty on the track and in his sponsor's booth while competing at the Canadian Formula Ford Series stop at the Toronto Molson Indy last weekend. Aboard his www.sexualityandu.ca Vector, Pickering's Chris Guerrieri settled for a second-place finish in Round 4 of the series on the Indy course Sunday. Starting from the seventh slot, he worked his way through the field into second place, but couldn't overtake race winner David Clubine for the checkered flag. Walter Koller, of Toronto, finished third. "I was concentrating on moving up through the field one car at a time," says Guerrieri, 20, who was the For- mula Ford championship's rookie-of- the-year in 2002. "Unfortunately my start wasn't so great and I over- revved the clutch, but I was able to push it to the back of my mind and use the caution flags to make my way back. It was going well and maybe with another lap or two I could have caught Clubine. "I would have liked to win in front of my hometown crowd, but I'm glad I was able to finish second and stay close to first place in the points standings. We've got four races to go and I'm definitely still in the running. We 'll just have to try to get the win in Trois Rivieres." With the second-place finish, Guer- rieri remains in second spot with 59 points in the drivers' points stand- ings, four points in arrears of Clubine who has 61. Besides his work on the track this weekend, Guerrieri, whose primary sponsor is the Society of Obstetri- cians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), spent a substantial amount of time on Thunder Alley at the www.sexualityandu.ca booth. He signed autographs and handed out condoms to Molson Indy race fans. "It was great to be out on Thunder Alley," said Guerrieri. "The goal of this sponsorship program is to reach out to young people and let them know about www.sexualityandu.ca. A lot of teens don't know where to go with their questions about safe sex and sexuality. I think that handing out free condoms and spreading the word that www.sexualityandu.ca is a great place to get straight answers from a reliable source, the Society of Obste- tricians and Gynaecologists of Cana- da, is a really important thing to do." Lisa Spencer, co-ordinator of the Contraception Awareness Project, said the marriage of the SOGC and Guerrieri has been a match made in heaven, both on the track and as a spokesman for the organization. "We're very proud of Christopher," said Spencer. "To go from seventh the second place in the race is outstand- ing. His performance on the race track combined with the work he did with us on Thunder Alley telling race fans about www.sexualityandu.ca just goes to show how hard working and determined he is. We are very pleased to be a part of his racing pro- gram." The Canadian Formula Ford Championship now moves to Trois Rivieres, Quebec for Round 5 of the series Aug. 1 to 3.

Pickering played the host Gloucester Hornets for the cham- pionship, cruising to a 2-1 victory. Pickering scored the first two goals of the game, with the Hornets scor- ing in the dying minutes to keep it close. Benny Yi scored Pickering's first goal in the opening five minutes of play, on a pass from Stevie Axe. Tournament most valuable player Mathew Groves scored the game winner later in the contest. Power was hard-pressed to de- feat wild-card team Woodbridge Strikers in the semifinals. With the game tied 2-2, Miguel John, on a pass from Groves, scored the game winner with only minutes left in the contest. Groves and Fabrizio Savarino, on a penalty shot, accounted for the other Power goals. The Power's first game was against the Ottawa Internationals Athletics but the passing, en- durance, defending and scoring skills of the Pickering squad were too much for their opponents in a 3-0 Power victory. John started the scoring in the first five minutes of play. Midfielder Savarino's pin- point free kick and forward Mark Wa r d's goal off a snap kick added to the total. In Game 2, the Power faced St. Anthony and, in a contest played in hot conditions, prevailed 2-0. Savarino buried a free kick for the f irst goal and midfielder Axe crossed a perfect ball to Miguel John to score the game-clinching marker. In Pickering's final round-robin contest, Pickering scored a 1-0 vic- tory over St. Catharines. Savarino converted a penalty shot for the game winner. Goalkeepers Ryan Henriques and Matthew Ruston earned shutouts in all three preliminary- round games. Defenders Jesse Trajkovski, Thomas Berger, William Ro- driques, Devon Munch, Mathew Lym, Jayden Geense and Adrian Butters kept the goals against to only three out of five games. Mid- f ielder Thomas Rivas and forward Josip Bosnjak helped feed their strikers throughout the tourna- ment. Junior Groves coaches the team, assisted by Joe Savarino and George Trajkovski and trainer Jacque Landry.

An artist for more than 40 years (he retired after 30 as a salaried em- ployee at GM) and with 2,700 pieces in pencil, pen and ink, oil, water- colour and acrylic to his credit, Clark's work can be found in Eng- land, Germany, Jamaica, the U.S. and Canada. But one of his most challenging commissions to date has to be the mural he recently complet- ed for an Oshawa business. "I was eating fish and chips in a restaurant one day when the owner (of Super Suds Coin Laundry) came in," he recalls. "He used to live across the street from my parents so I guess he knew I was a painter from talking with my father. He asked if I would paint some pictures on the wall of his new laundromat." And so began Clark's task to paint two beach scenes in acrylic on the walls of the Marland Avenue laun- dromat. Above the washers, front door and windows, three-feet high, 28-feet-long images of sand, palm trees, huts, sea and sky help take the drudgery out of wash day. "It was done while mothers and fa- thers were doing the wash and the kids were screaming," jokes Clark. "But when I was there, people, most- ly women, said they appreciated the fact there was colour." Clark is also known as a cartoonist and publishers have called on him to do caricatures of famous authors. When Sir Jeffrey Archer, the flam- boyant British peer and novelist came to Toronto, he sat beside him at the lunch when the representa- tion of Archer's likeness was pre- sented. But meeting Group of Seven members A.J. Casson, Frederick Varley and A.Y. Jackson remains a particularly memorable experience. Clark studied fine art with Arnold Hodgkins of the Deerfoot Gallery near Uxbridge who knew the famous painters. "Casson told me to stay as far away from art as possible," recalls Clark. "Varley said, "Go for it, give it hell." Clark describes his work as "eclec- tic" ranging from fine art, detailed city street scenes, to landscapes, seascapes, still life and people. "I've been doing artwork frequent- ly when asked to come in to help a group of people socially," he says. "I've worked at two mental health centres, with the brain injury organi- zation and at Rose of Durham with pregnant teens. Anybody that needs something I'll go in and help." Clark has also taught locally and is a founder of the Robert McLaugh- lin Gallery as well as the Writers Cir- cle of Durham Region. His oil portraits range from $300 to $1,000, depending on the size. Car- icatures run $35 to $75, unframed. Clark can be reached at 905-434- 6932.

ADVERTISING FEATURE AArrttss &&EEnntteerrttaaiinnmmeenntt WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE McINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Everyone invited to feel the rhythm of the beat in Pickering BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess News Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----The boardwalk, a sum- mer's breeze and the sound of drums beating. It isn't some exotic getaway desti- nation that is calling. It's French- man's Bay beckoning every Wednes- day evening as the Rhythm Connec- tion invites the public to feel the beat at its drop-in drumming ses- sion in Millennium Square at the base of Liverpool Road in Pickering. "The concept is all about sharing the rhythm with the community," says Ron Cross, who founded the group last September. It began when the Pickering drum manufac- turer decided to form a group with some of the students who purchased drums from his company, Orion Drums. "I wanted to teach them but I did- n't want it to feel like a lesson. I wanted it to be fun," he says. So this summer he took the lessons outside and made them into a social event where the entire community is invit- ed to come and join in. The core group of Rhythm Connection mem- bers learn pieces and perform to- gether, sometimes for money, some- times just for the joy of drumming, but every Wednesday, anyone who happens by is invited to bring a drum or other percussion instru- ment and add their sound to the music. "You can drop in, check it out and see if you want to join," or just continue to come by on a casual basis, says Cross. The group brings extra percussion instruments for kids and often there are a few extra drums for those who come across the festivities by hap- penstance. However, he says, if someone knows they are coming, they can call his company and arrange to pick up a drum in ad- vance. The cost for the drop-in session is $10 per person. Anyone interested in becoming a full-fledged member of Rhythm Connection has to commit to practising the pieces for the per- formances and fulfil one other condi- tion; get the group a gig. The gig doesn't have to pay anything, he's quick to add. Anyone who would like to join in can drop by Millennium Square, Wednesdays until September from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. To arrange for a drum or get more information, call Cross at 905-427-9514 or check out the Web site at www.oriondrums.com. Many drummers drumming Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– Members of the Rhythm Connection percussion group practice every Wednesday night on the boardwalk at the foot of Liverpool Road in Pickering. The public is invited to come down and hear the music or join in with the practice. Some extra instru- ments are usually available for passersby or participants who know they will be coming out can call Ron Cross (at left, above) at 905-427-9514 in advance to pick out an instrument. The two-hour session begins at 7:30 p.m. in Millennium Square.

A METROLAND PUBLICATION November 27, 2002 BY JIM ROBINSON Road Worthy DaimlerChrylser seems not to really know what to do about the little Neon econ- omy car. Originally sold as the Plymouth Neon and the Dodge Neon, the impudent little smile of the grille and the goggle-eyed head- lights combined with the upturned, stubby rump, made the Neon look like a spirited puppy all ready to play. Along with the cute looks, the Neon also benefited from the 'cab forward' concept de- buted in the first generation Intrepid and Concorde. Neon proved a solid first step up the Chrysler ladder at the time when cars like the Prowler and Viper made people for- get Chrysler's dowdy image and get in on the new wave. Of course, things changed dramatically when Daimler-Benz moved in at Auburn Hills, Mich., and the complexion of the company began to change and so have its product offerings. It has also led to re- grouping and a focus on a wide range of new cars and trucks. And while we will see some truly excit- ing products this year like the Pacifica mini- van and the Crossfire sport coupe, the Neon has had to soldier on. With the death of Plymouth, Daimler- think decreed all cars would be Chryslers and all trucks would be Dodges. With the notable exception of the Dodge Viper, the Plymouth Prowler became a Chrysler before it was dropped earlier this year and the little Neon became a Chrysler. Even then it sounded odd. With no replacement immediately at hand, the Neon is now a Dodge for 2003 which seems a more logical fit. Dodge is seen as more lively and it is youthful buyers who are being targeted. There's even an ad- vertising catch line about Dodge bringing SX to the city which is a play on the TV show and also indicates the demographics Dodge wants to plumb with this car. At the front the Neon's pug nose is gone and replaced with the signature Dodge four- quadrant grille. The rear has also been cleaned up. But the cab forward concept of putting the wheels out to the four corners is retained which results in more cabin space. Much of that is due to the compact class leading wheelbase of 2,667 mm (105 inch- es). There are three basic versions, the Dodge SX 2.0 at $14,995, the Dodge SX 2.0 Sport at $17, 895, and the Dodge SX 2.0 R/T at $20,795. The differences are primarily in trim. All three use the venerable 2.0-litre single over- head cam four-cylinder with standard five- speed manual or optional four-speed auto- matic. On the SX and SX Sport, the engine produces 132 hp and 130 lb/ft of torque. The R/T pumps that to 150 hp and 135 lb/ft of torque. Suspension is four-wheel indepen- dent with discs at the front and drums rear unless you order the R/T which includes ABS with the four disc brakes. The base model has power steering and brakes as you would expect but it also in- cludes AM/FM CD changer, tilt steering wheel and fog lamps. You can option the base car up with a host of goodies like power sunroof, six-disc CD and even leather seats which kind of de- feats the reason for buying basic transporta- tion. One option worth it on the base car would be the 15-inch wheels and tires in- stead of the standard issue 14-inchers. The Sport adds a lot of things that make the SX more habitable like power windows, door locks and side mirrors. There is cruise control, remote entry, and a tach, which is a handy thing to have. Tested here is the R/T which arrives with 16-inch alloy wheels, the four disc brakes with ABS and a body colour centre instru- ment stack. Adding to the look is a huge hoop spoil- er at the rear and dual exhaust tips in Dodge SX takes over from the popular Neon The interior of the Dodge SX 2.0 looks a lot like that of the PT Cruiser because it shares many controls and trim pieces with the PT See DODGE page 2 ggygyjgg Spring 2003 $2.95 East Of The City Second Place, Best Cover Design 1952-20021952-2002 Fireman’s Prayer Oh Lord, please help this fireman, to be skillful and be brave. Please let me never falter, when there are lives to save. Be with my fellow fireman, and ride with us on each run. From the moment that we “suit-up”, until the job is done. Be with me as I guide a child, through the dark and smoky haze. Give me strength and courage, as I fight the deadly blaze. Lord, I put my safety in your hands, but in the chaos and the strife, Help me act with selfless courage, God, just let me save a life. Amen. Ramona K.
