STEVE PARISH `My first reaction, in five or six words, was stuff it.' Bring on the feds: truckers President wonders if new minister is the answer BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer It's more of the same from the provincial government and the in- dependent truckers who refuse to go away. Cash-strapped National Truck- ing Association (NTA) members waited throughout Thursday before heading to Toronto where the plan late yesterday afternoon was to tar- get refineries. "There is no meeting," said NTA president Bill Wellman at noon on Thursday. "Right now, what's happening is the people with the big money are trying to wear us down and to break us. That only makes me stronger. They might break me for one day but I'll come back stronger for two days." Mr. Wellman and NTA vice- president Keith Swayne were at a meeting at the provincial legisla- ture on Wednesday, but did not meet yesterday with Economic De- velopment Minister Al Palladini. Both NTA leaders had offered their resignations to their member- ship earlier in the week but are back at the helm as they fight for a See PRESIDENT page 3 Municipal report card idea the `height of arrogance' Durham says `stuff it' BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer The Province's plan to have municipalities issue report cards to, taxpayers is "the height of arro- gance" and "insulting", say re- gional councillors. Durham council voted over- whelmingly at Wednesday's coun- cil meeting to decline participating in the provincial government's `Municipal Performance Measure- ment Program', which will force all municipalities to issue the re- port cards each year on how they are delivering local services such as water, fire and roads. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was blunt in his assessment of the plan. "My first reaction, in five or six words, was 'stuff it'," he said. A Regional staff report called for the program to be deferred until more information becomes available. Mayor Parish said the matter should be deferred, noting, "When it comes back, I ain't doing no re- port card." He added the report cards are "the height of arrogance" and "insulting and arrogant". When the first report cards come out, Mayor Parish predicted, "We'll all get bad grades, Ds and a few Cs. In three years when the (provincial) governmentis seeking re-election, the grades will all go way up." Mayor Parish suggested the motion read, "We respectfully de- cline to participate in their report card program."

Pickering Canadian Tire recognizes the need for kids to have a nutritious breakfast before they start their school day. Before some staff at Canadian Tire go to work, they volunteer at Glengrove Public School to serve 40 children breakfast each day. "The Canadian Tire Foundation for Families collects funds to be used in the community and we strongly support Breakfast Clubs" said Jeff Gray, Manager of the Canadian Tire Pickering store. The Family Tree program is a national fundraising initiative of the Canadian Tire Foundation for Families. During the holiday season, $5.00 for the sale of every 4'/z foot or larger artificial tree will be donated to the Foundation in support of local charities. An additional $5.00 will be donated for purchases on the Canadian Tire Card or Options MasterCard. Last year the program raised more than $700,000 for families in need across Canada. Mr. Gray explains, "We saw a need to support Glengrove Public School's Breakfast Club because so many children don't eat or get a proper breakfast for a variety of reasons. It is pretty hectic in the morning at most households. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and gives kids a good start to their day. The Breakfast Club is something Canadian Tire can support in ways other than financial. With other schools in Pickering starting up programs, we look forward to trying to help them as well." The Canadian Tire staff has provided support with volunteers, financial contributions and donations of products to school nutrition programs in Pickering. "Partnerships between businesses and school nutrition programs ensures children have access to healthy food and teaches them to make healthy eating choices," said Carla Rhody, Coordinator of Durham's Child Nutrition Project.

Government sources were quoted in some media reports as saying meetings would continue in an effort to reach a deal surrounding fuel hikes as long as NTA members and their supporters did not demonstrate. In a press release yes- terday afternoon, Mr. Wellman stated he was "led to believe that negotiations would commence today (Oct. 19) but again, after a long nine months, Mr. Pal- ladini has stalled the talks ..." Mr. Swayne says when he called Mr. Palladini's office Thursday he was told they "wouldn't have time to call a meet- ing today (Oct. 19)."

"If they (the members) go back out protesting, talks will be called off so we've lost anoth- er day." Such frustration has moved Mr. Wellman to wonder if the NTA is dealing with the appro- priate level of government. "I want to call (new federal Industry Minister) Brian Tobin as soon as possible," said Mr. Wellman from the Whitby truck stop that has become the unoffi- cial headquarters for the NTA. "If Mr. Palladini says it is a federal and provincial issue, well, I think Mr. Tobin is an un- derstanding man and maybe he can close these issues." Independent truckers now re- ceive about $1 a mile for hauling produce and manufactured goods. They say they need at least an additional 24 cents per mile to cope with diesel fuel costs that have gone up by 30 cents a litre in the last year. "Twenty-four cents is a nice number to have with an accelera- tor as fuel keeps going up," said Mr. Wellman. Calls to Mr. Palladini's office yesterday were not returned.

Don't let week of political moves cloud decision-making for upcoming election So, who won? Did the Liberals get the upper hand Wednesday with Paul Martin's mini -budget and his huge new tax cuts, which will see billions more come our way in the next few years? Or did the Canadian Alliance ben- efit from Tuesday's scathing auditor - general's report that accused the feds of mismanaging billions of dollars of our money over the last five years? That is the mega -billion -dollar question that will surely be answered once and for all Nov. 27. Put it this way: Stockwell Day and the Alliance will have an uphill battle on their hands convincing Canadians things could only be better with a new party at the helm. After all, the past seven years have seen the government turn the tables on its finances by taking the federal budget from a $40 -billion deficit to a surplus that hit $12 billion this year and could crest $100 billion in the next five years. - To top it off, the finance minister has promised nearly $90 billion in tax relief over the next five years. Mr. Day is arguing the government should give taxpayers more than it is promising. The freshly minted chief was able to draw Toronto business leaders to a fund-raising dinner this week that reportedly put $1.7 million in Alliance coffers, but polls show his party is well behind the Liberals in public popularity. If this budget plays well in Quebec and Ontario, and early indications show people in central Canada like what they see, it's hard to picture the Alliance making the breakthrough it needs to topple the Liberals. The 'X' factor is Atlantic Canada. Will the cynical move to bring Brian Tobin, who does not hold a federal seat, back to cabinet from his spot as premier of Newfoundland pay divi- dends over the next five weeks? Will the Liberals, who won 31 of 32 seats in Atlantic Canada in 1993 and then stumbled to less than half that in 1997, regain their strength? How will the mini -budget play in Western Canada? Will the Liberals be able to win a few seats in Vancouver and Winnipeg to offset the Alliance tide? This busy political week has set the stage for Nov. 27. You'll be hear- ing an awful lot about tax cuts, tax rates, surpluses and social spending in the next 38 days.

LETTE S TO THE EDITO Stop poverty in its infancy To the editor: Re: `Products don't brand kids,' let- ter to the editor, Sept. 27. In a society where many fami- lies have so much, it is very difficult to comprehend that others live with so little. The alarming fact is that the rate and depth of poverty have been increasing at the same time that the economy appears to be booming. Those living in poverty can not afford food, clothes, shoes or winter boots. In a society where some families have the ability to afford brand- name clothes, runners and comput- ers, it seems unconscionable that other families have difficulty in just When did I become my mother? Rolled eyes straightened out with sensible parental wisdom When I was in my 20s, stiletto heels were all the rage and being seen in the latest fashion was a must. One day as I sashayed past my mother in five -inch heels she com- mented, "There will come a time when you'll choose comfort over style." I made a face. It's 30 years later and my mother was right. I've trad- ed my high heels for Birkenstocks. I still wear my heels when flat shoes just won't do but my heart belongs to my Birks. It's pretty scary to realize you are becoming your parents. It's a grad- ual thing. It just creeps up on you and before you know it you're like the parents you used to roll your eyes at. Lately when I flip- through a magazine, instead of turning to the latest fall fashions I'm drawn to ar- ticles entitled, `Is hormone replace- ment therapy for you?' I know more about my colon than I care to admit and I've noticed my Pauline Taylor Opinion Shaper kids' eyes glaze over when I discuss the benefits of bran. Decaf is my coffee of choice these days and high -fibre cereals have replaced the high-fat bacon and eggs breakfasts of the past. I'm also far more interested in where the bathrooms are located when I go out than I ever- was be- fore, and like my parents, I know which stores have blood -pressure stations in them. I also have my cho- lesterol counts memorized, yet I can't seem to remember where I put my glasses. Instead of burning the candle at both ends as I once did, these days I'm nodding off by 10. And just like my mother, most Sundays you'll find me curled up on the couch with the newspaper, enjoying a lazy day of crossword puzzles and old movies. I used to watch my parents put- tering around the garden and think, "How boring is that?" Now I'm planting fall bulbs in anticipation of another spring and reading garden- ing books to get me through the winter. As with all generations, it has taken me a while to realize how smart my parents really were. If it's true that what goes around comes around, perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough that my children will afford me the same compliment. Until then, I'm content with my mellowing lifestyle and wondering if my kids have noticed how uncom- fortable their shoes are becoming. .

For the one in seven Durham families liv- ing in poverty, providing back -to - school supplies becomes impossi- ble when there is not enough money to pay the rent or put food on the table. In September, children from poor families returned to school lacking the indoor and outdoor run- ning shoes that are requested by schools, as well as the calculators, math sets, coloured pencils, binders and school bags that are routinely purchased by the majority of fami- lies with school -aged children. Thanks to the generosity of the merchants and customers of the Pickering Town Centre, many of these children received school bags and supplies. Thanks also goes to the Red Cross and volunteers from Intercede who sorted and delivered the supplies to agencies, schools and other organizations which then discreetly, distributed the school bags. The generosity and volunteer time of many caring members of this community helped a number of children set off for school better prepared to learn and happier than they might otherwise have been. Being poor is not character building. The fact is research shows poor children perform less well at school. They have higher rates of emotional and behavioural prob- lems and chronic health problems. The long-term prognosis is also dis- couraging. Those growing up in poor families are more likely to drop out of school, have ongoing health problems and die at younger ages. We need to reverse the growth of poverty and begin programs to mit- igate the disastrous effects experi- enced by those growing up poor. Our hope is that the 'Back To School Pack Program' in some small measure will help. We also hope this program will spread across the region and be even more successful next year.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 20, 2000 PAGE 7 A/P Mini -budget aims for maximum effect Federal tax cuts the order of the day in Martin's speech BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer All that's needed now is the election call. That's expected this weekend, just days after Finance Minister Paul Martin delivered a minibud- get packed with good news on Wednesday. There are tax cuts for everyone, one-time payments for relief of high heating costs this winter for 11 million Canadians, improved child tax benefits and more money to pay down the debt. The mini -budget, or economic statement at Mr. Martin labelled it, calls for $100 billion in tax cuts over five years, a $42 -billion im- provement from the 2000 budget last February. "Our tax plan is designed with the following objectives in mind: First, providing tax relief to all Canadians but to moderate- and middle-income families in particu- lar. Second, helping those who need it most through a number of gener- al and targeted measures. Third, promoting job creation and eco- nomic growth to give Canada and Canadians an advantage in the new economy." Mr. Martin said. Budget highlights ✓ $100 billion in tax cuts over five years, a 42 -billion improvement over the February 2000 budget; ✓ Average personal income taxes will drop by 21 per cent over five years; ✓ New federal tax rates effective Jan. 1, 2001 for Canadians earn- ing up to $100,000 per year, with an average reduction of two per cent; ✓ A corporate tax -rate reduction of two points per year over the next three years, which will see the rate fall from 27 to 21 per cent; ✓ A payment this year of at least $10 billion towards the country's $554.5 billion debt, and a vow to spend at least $3 billion per year on debt reduction and more when economic times are good. "Our plan will achieve these ob- jectives by legislating - not promis- ing - the largest tax cut in Canadian history. And by bringing our mea- sures into effect by Jan. 1, 2001, less than two -and -a -half months from now." Mr. Martin announced the feder- al government is in a position to pay $10 billion down on the $554 - billion debt this year and will estab- lish $14 billion in new spending over three years on social pro- grams, university research, educa- tionand the environment. "For this year, 2000-01, we will pay down a minimum of $10 billion of debt. This means that over the last four years, we will have re- duced the national debt by over $28.7 billion, resulting in interest savings of $1.7 billion, for each and every year going forward - money that will now be available to meet the priorities of Canadians," he said. The mini -budget will see aver- age personal taxes drop by 21 per cent over five years while the aver- age decrease for families with chil- dren will be 27 per cent. The new cuts, combined with those announced in February's bud- get, will mean a two -income family of four with a combined income of $60,000 will save $1,021 in income taxes next year. A single person making $75,000 will pay $2,223 less in taxes in 2001 while a single person with one child and an income of $50,000 Hot economy, not election, stimulated tax cuts: MP Local Liberals respond to criticism BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer Canadians will have more money in their pockets under federal Finance Minister Paul Martin's mini -budget, delivered in the House of Commons Wednesday. But critics say the unprece- dented billions of dollars in tax cuts, which will see the average Canadian save about $1,000 on their tax bill next year, is a shameless attempt to buy the Liberals votes with an election just around the corner. They also contend its an at- tempt to steal a major compo- nent of the Canadian Alliance's platform, which calls for sweep- ing tax cuts. An election call is widely ex- pected on Sunday, with the vote to take place on Nov. 27. Pickering -Ajax -Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague was in cam- paign form Thursday, slamming the critics, noting "most nation- al observers are absolutely laud- ing and applauding this budget. "I think the criticism is prob- ably by a very narrow group of individuals who have a political message to deliver." The Canadian Alliance's cool reaction to the economic state- ment demonstrates they are "ab- solutely jealous" of the tax cuts the government has announced. He added the cuts are not an at- tempt to buy votes, but because the economy is so strong and •.f � r t..., iR. a DAN McTEAGUE 'Most national observers are absolutely lauding and applauding this budget.' "the government has to put something on the table. Though he acknowledges "we are on the eve of the elec- tion," the mini -budget reflects the fact the country's economy is "on the mend" as a result of factors such as the debt being paid down and a more favourable trade balance. Judi Longfield, Whitby -Ajax MP, suggests the federal gov- ernment didn't just wake up and decide to give Canadians tax cuts: the government said it would do so after giving a high priority to deficit reduction. "This is really just building on promises we made in 1997," she says, noting tax breaks were in the plan. As the government's surplus has risen, "our opportunity to do this has grown," says Ms. Long- field, who acknowledges the "pretty major sacrifices" Cana- dians have made to get the debt under control. She describes the economic statement as "balanced." "We haven't spent all of the surplus," says Ms. Longfield. "I'm delighted we have put so much into reducing the debt" Mr. McTeague described the an- nounced one-time home fuel price rebate of $125 for individ- uals or $250 for families who receive a GST tax credit, as "a validation for a lot of the work I've done over the past five years." The relief is intended to help lower-income families with higher energy costs. Mr. McTeague says the re- bate will benefit 11 million, or one in three Canadians, and notes Mr. Martin referred to his "invaluable assistance" in form- ing the government policy." "I can assure you that the views that you expressed in the House last month have been at the forefront of the govern- ment's thinking on how to ad- dress the difficult issue of rising energy costs," Mr. Martin stated in a letter. PAUL MARTIN Canada's economic • performance 'has been striking'. will see taxes drop by $1,150. Tax brackets will also be amend- ed. The lowest tax category, for tax- able income up to $30,754, will have the tax rate go from 17 to 16 per cent. The tax rate in the second category, income between $30,754 and $61,609, will drop from 24 per cent to 22 per cent and the next bracket, income between $61,609 and $100,000, would see a decrease from 29 to 26 per cent. The top cat- egory, covering taxable incomes over $100,000, would remain at 29 per cent. A five -per -cent income surtax on incomes over $61,509 will be dropped in 2001. It was to have been slowly phased out over a longer time period. Mr. Martin flatly rejected any consideration of a flat tax, stating it's unfair to middle- and lower-in- come Canadians. A flat tax is part of the Canadian Alliance's plat- form. This winter, Canadians with in- comes of up to $31,000 and who qualify for a GST rebate will be el- igible for a one-time payment of $125 for single and $250 for family to help alleviate the impact of high heating costs this winter. Mr. Mar- tin said this would be looked at on an annual basis. As of July 1, 2001, the Canada Child Tax Benefit for low- and mid- dle-income Canadians will be in- creased. Disability tax credit amount will be improved in Janu- ary, tax credits for caregivers of de- pendent relatives will be raised as will the tax credit for post -sec- ondary students. Mr. Martin noted Canada's eco- nomic performance recently "has been striking" with the last three months marking the 20th consecu- tive quarter of growth, "the longest sustained period of gain since the mid-1960s. Our current account is in the largest surplus position in its history. Our foreign indebtedness, as a percentage of our economy, is at its lowest level in more than 20 years" Job creation continues while thg unemployment rate is approaching the lowest level in 24 years, he said. That has left Canada with the best job creation rate in the G-7 for the third year in a row.

P �ISAG 8'heirS ADVEI TI§ER,��RIDAIf EDInoN bctober 20, 2000 A CARE puts focus, efforts into jobs BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING — Helping area adults find jobs. That's been the number - one job of the Pickering - based Career Assistance and Resources for Employment (CARE) agency since open- ing its doors in 1995. And, during those five years, area job -seekers have found em- ployment in large numbers. In fact, a high percentage of unemployed men and women who look to CARE for help have been finding work, notes Donna White- man, program manager/ca- reer and employment coun- sellor at CARE. "We have a 75 and 80 -per cent success rate. Obviously, this has more to do with the clients, but we're very proud of that," says Ms. Whiteman, adding that CARE sees be- tween 300 to 400 clients each month at its 1400 Bayly St. location. The agency, which oper- ates under the Durham Re- gion Unemployed Help Cen- tre umbrella, helps a wide range of people with their job -search skills, notes Ms. Whiteman. CARE's clients could include the stay-at- home mom who wants to re- turn to the work force, new Canadians attempting to find suitable employment, or those with a lengthy record of work experience who are now facing unemployment, and need help exploring their employment options. CARE is one of numerous Ajax and Pickering agencies helped financially by the United Way of Ajax -Picker- ing each year. This year, the United Way has set its fund- raising goal at $1.35 million. Ms. Whiteman explains CARE used its United Way funds ip its general operating budget which covers many of the services and programs of- fered at the agency. "We're very big support- ers of the United Way and they've been big supporters of us," she says. Since the effort needed to find a job is almost a full-time job in itself, learning the skills involved in finding the right job are crucial in today's marketplace. "Definitely, the greater ef- fort you put into it, obviously the better the results are going to be," she explains. "There are a lot of different things people can do other than hitting the job banks, which helps, but doesn't work for everybody" CARE provides help to job seekers over the age of 24 with its frequent job -search workshops, individual career counselling and its three-day job club events, Ms. White- man notes. Workshops are held each Thursday for a half day at its Pickering offices. Topics such as resume and cover letter preparation, interviewing skills and tips to search the hidden job market are cov- ered by CARE. Interestingly, more than 80 per cent of jobs aren't advertised, which GRAND OPENING SPECIAL 20°' OFF OPENS TODAY Doctors claim walking the BEST exercise you can do.

Individual career coun- selling at CARE is funded by the Ministry of Training, Col- leges and Universities. This service, notes Ms. Whiteman, helps clients establish their career goals and points them in the right direction. Meanwhile, the three-day job club is sponsored by the federal government's Human Resources Development Canada ministry. Described as an "intensive job -search program", the three-day, full- day workshop covers all facets of finding a job, in- cluding cover letters and re- sume preparation, interview- ing, self-esteem and a half day of Internet training. The job club is held each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at CARE. For more information on any of CARE's programs, Call 420-4010.

DURHAM REGION PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Brock Road From Bayly Street to Highway 407 And "the Brougham Bypass" From Concession 5 to 1 kilometer north of Brougham . In the City of Pickering The Regional Municipality of Durham will be holding a Public Open House to discuss possible improvements to Brock Road from Bayly Street to north of Brougham, including conceptual plans for a new alignment for a bypass of the community of Brougham. Improvements to Brock Road are needed to address anticipated traffic volumes when Highway 407 ETR is extended east to Brock Road. Improvements would also support planned development in north Pickering. The Brougham Bypass section of Brock Road has been shown in the Official Plans of both Durham and Pickering. Based on work completed to date, it is proposed to construct the bypass about 500 m east of existing Brock Road. A partial interchange with 407 ETR would be included, with signals at,the ramp intersections. The timing of construction has not been determined. Planning and design work is being conducted in accordance with the Schedule "C" of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Roads. You are invited to the Public Open House to see the proposed concepts and provide the study team with your comments and concerns.

Dr. Robert Kyle said flu shots are "very safe" and added it's "extremely rare" for someone to have a reaction. Health department staff were at Durham council's meeting Wednesday to administer flu shots to councillors. About an hour after the meet- ing started, Coun. Novak was no- ticed sitting in a chair against a wall and appeared dazed. Dr. Kyle called for an ambu- lance and at about 12:30 p.m. she was taken to hospital. Shortly after her departure, Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson told councillors MARY NOVAK 'It's not a big deaf I feel fine.' Coun. Novak "had a slight reac- tion to a flu shot". "I'm home and OK now," Coun. Novak said when reached by phone Wednesday afternoon. "It's not a big deal. I feel fine." She said the hospital gave her an antihistamine and that she needed some rest. In an interview, Dr. Kyle said if someone has a reaction, it's usually "local, with soreness or redness. "Extremely rarely, an individ- ual will develop an allergic reac- tion. It's usually minor, like a rash or tingling around the mouth."

It's not necessary to get sick for a week. "We know the influenza virus changes every year. If you had the flu shot (in the past), it doesn't mean you'll be protected next year."

According to data released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), third quarter starts were 44.5 per cent higher than in 1999, while year-to-date figures have exceeded 1999 levels by 29.1 per cent. In September, Whitby led the way with 110 singles and 60 multiples. Ajax was next starting 102 singles. Oshawa came in with 29 singles and 16 multiples, while in Clarington 36 single -de- tached units commenced con- struction. Both Whitby and Oshawa recorded gains over construc- tion levels last year. "Despite weaker local em- ployment figures recorded throughout most of 2000, Durham's residential construc- tion levels continue to be bol- stered by strong employment growth in Toronto, stable mortgage rates and the healthy local resale market," said Bev- erly Kueper, market analyst of CMHC's Oshawa -based of- fice. "These solid economic fundamentals are expected to drive housing starts well above last year's record-setting pace."

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 20, 2000 PAGE 13 A/P Grade 10 literacy tests goes `smooth as silk' BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer Roughly 4,600 Grade 10 students across Durham spent four hours this week showcasing their reading and writing abilities. A product of the Education Qual- ity and Accountability Office (EQAO), the independent agency es- tablished by the Province to improve education quality, the Test of Read- ing and Writing Skills was written in two sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Beginning next year, stu- dents will have to pass the test in order to graduate from high school. After a field test in a small num- ber of schools seven months ago — designed to ensure the test was ad- ministered properly at the school level — the Grade 10 test received a full trial run in Ontario high schools this week. "The test went extremely well," said Marilyn LeBrun, principal at Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School in Oshawa. "Smooth as silk was the expression I heard. The kids were wonderful; they took it very seriously." She said students were given two hours each day to complete the test, conducted in the school gym, broken up by a 15 -minute break. Ms. LeBrun said while students were "nervous" at the start of the test, they became more comfortable as it proceeded: They were helped prior to the test with support material from the edu- cation ministry, while teachers were allowed an opportunity to assist stu- dents with practice questions and ex- plain to them the test format. "It went really well in terms of the administration of the test," said Port Perry High School principal Mark Jefferies. "The feedback from students I've been able to talk to is they found the test reasonable." Roughly 270 students at Port Perry H.S. wrote the test, conducted in classrooms instead of the school gym so as not to take desks out of classes, he said. Mr. Jefferies said the test did in- volve "some logistical headaches in terms of organizing classes," and he relayed a concern over the cost of running the test. The school received - just one copy of support material from the education ministry, which meant it had to be photocopied. And temporary, extra staff in the form of a secretary and educational assistants was required. "I didn't get any increase in my school budget (to run the test)," he noted. Staff had to prepare students for the test and keep them focused though they were aware a pass was not required for graduation this year, said Mr. Jefferies. About 10 students did not write the test, most because they were ill. The parents of one stu- dent chose not to have the pupil take part. "The process seems to have gone very well," said Pauline Laing, co - moderator of the test for the EQAO. "We haven't had any major glitches that I'm aware of." She said when the test is adminis- tered next year, the format will re- main the same, seeing pupils reading passages and answering questions based on the material, and, in a an- other section, demonstrating their abilities to compose a written piece. However the content will be almost completely changed. Ms. Laing said the test results at each school will be known in late January of early February. The field test indicated a "full range of results" which, she said, gives the EQAO "a sense it's appropriate for kids". Some feedback suggested students found the test easy. "I think it's quite understand- able, especially if the comments are from kids," said Ms. Laing, who again referred to the field test to suggest students aren't accurate at predicting how well they fared. "No one at . this point other than the test developers has a sense of the whole test that they could come to a judgment on," she said. MATTRESS SUPERSTORE 71E SALE 6 Pc.

"My point of view is that we great- ly prefer a local -based solution" for municipal amalgamation plans, noted Tony Clement, keynote speaker at a fund-raiser for Durham MPP John O'- Toole in Newcastle Tuesday. "Ninety- five per cent of the time, we've been able in our restructurings (elsewhere in the province) to have a municipally -de- vised solution. Most (restructurings) are done through bottom-up deci- sions." Though he wouldn't indicate a time -frame for possible restructuring in Durham, Mr. Clement did point to a report commissioned by the Greater Toronto Services Board, due to be tabled in March, which will look at possible streamlining of service deliv- ery in the Greater Toronto Area. As well, he says new local and regional councils, after the Nov. 13 municipal election, will have to spend some time talking to constituents about the best plans for delivery of services and pos- sible re -alignment of municipal bound- aries. Referendum questions on amal- gamation being asked on the municipal ballots in Ajax and Whitby may also give insight into local solutions, Mr. Clement said. But he added the talks and information gathering aren't going to have a specific deadline. "We're not putting any time frame on it at all. We'll all know when the discussion is either fruitful or fruit- less," he noted, adding, "We're not near the point where local discussion has been exhausted." Only after lengthy discussion, Mr. Clement said, could the Province and municipalities start discussing specific plans for restructuring. "Let's get all these ideas on the table, and maybe we'll find out we agree on 90 per cent and we only have to work on 10 per cent," he remarked. Mr. Clement said he believes resi- dents and politicians can make a time- ly decision on restructuring. "It's wonderful how the mind can be concentrated when decisions have to be made," he noted, adding, "I would have to say that really the expe- rience in a lot of different places in On- tario is that the citizenry have the in- testinal fortitude to make the tough de- cisions" The Province has "no preconcep- tion" of what a restructured Durham could look like, said Mr. Clement. But, he said, the government does have a measuring stick by which it deter- mines a viable municipal restructuring. "Can it deliver better services to taxpayers at a lower cost with fewer, more accountable politicians," he said of a successful re -alignment. The 11 New 2000 Models Clearance Sale!

The teacher at Pickering's St. Eliz- abeth Seton Catholic School dis- cussed the election process with his pupils and held a mock election in the classroom for prime minister. "They loved it," said Mr. Bevilac- qua. "I couldn't believe how happy they were to get involved." That enthusiasm should bode well for the coming weeks, as Pickering students are going to the polls next month to take part in the municipal election. The Learning Partnership, a feder- al organization set up to enhance school kids' knowledge of govern- ment in Canada, is managing the 'Our Kids Can Vote Canada' program here in conjunction with the Ontario Teachers' Federation, Durham's school boards and the City of Picker- ing. Pickering clerk Bruce Taylor ex- plains the students in Grades 4 to 8 and 10 won't be casting a vote for mayor or other positions, but will an- swer a question on their own ballot at a Nov. 4 advance poll. And, after a meeting last week with local teachers, the question is all but determined. "It looks as though the question we will have on the Kids Can Vote ballot will be, 'Are you in favour of the City Kathleen Rowe in the money for lookin' good Students and staff at Kathleen Rowe Memorial Public School in Whitby were named the winners of the Durham District School Board's 12th 'Hey We're Lookin' Good This Sum- mer' contest on Monday night. The contest encourages schools to be good neighbours in their communi- ty by keeping property free of weeds and litter, planting gardens and main- taining them. Some 70 public schools entered this year and were visited by board communications manager Mary Brown, who chose four semifinalists, a runner-up and the overall winner. Kathlene Rowe received a framed photo of its gardening project, a $300 contribution to use on gardening pro- jects, and two plaques, one to keep and one to display for a year. The first runner-up was Mary Street Community School in Oshawa, which received $200, a framed photo and a plaque to keep and display. Semifinalist schools were Roland Michener Public School and Valley View Public School in Ajax, Ormiston Public School in Whitby and Prince Albert Public School in the Port Perry area, all of which received framed photos. All participants received $25 towards projects. BRUCE TAYLOR City of Pickering gets kids involved in electoral process. of Pickering amalgamating with Ajax to form one municipality?'," said Mr. Taylor. He says the question, chosen by teachers, has to be one of local SAVE DURINI interest on an issue that won't be decided or out of the spotlight for at least a year or so. Students will brush up on the issue before vot- ing by discussing it in class and with their parents, visiting the li- brary and generally becoming in- formed any way they can. Questions considered but re- jected included a query on the proposal to send Durham's garbage to an open -pit. mine near Kirkland Lake. Also rejected, but considered earlier, was having students cast a mayoral vote in Pickering. Mr. Taylor says The Learning Partnership "strongly advised" against municipalities having students vote for the top spot. After experiences in some U.S. elections, it was found "it put the kids at odds with their parents and in some cases caused serious problems," he said. As well, in some close races south of the bor- der, the winning candidates were not supported by the student vote, causing embarrassment for the winners who, it was said, did not have the kids' vote. Before the election studies, Mr. Bevilacqua says he had doubts a lot of students would turn out to take part in the amal- gamation vote. But, after seeing the students' enthusiasm, he be- lieves many students will cast a 'Yes' or 'No' vote on Nov. 4. However, he noted the pupils won't be happy they're not voting for the mayoral seat, as they were looking forward to casting a vote for the city's top politician. Mr. Taylor says any Pickering student who comes in to vote will be allowed to do so, even though the process is intended for pupils in Grades 4 to 8 and 10 as they're studying the issue in class. Students can vote at The Civic Complex, lower lobby, 1 The Es- planade, on Nov. 4 between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. The votes will be tallied and displayed on an elec- tion night board with other mu- nicipal results.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED! by: Charles Shaban Pickering Dairy Queen 1099 Kingston Rd. L1V 1B5 Drive Thru PLAY PALACE My next door neighbour Surin asked me about our 99 cent hamburger last week. He said I know that you say NO STRINGS but what's the catch Charles! I said there is none. Another customer said that you mean that I don't have to buy anything with it. I said No. I can buy 6 hamburgers with all the toppings, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, relish ... everything and it is only 99 cenis each? I said YES! My question is why pay more when you can get such a great deal at the front counter or through the drive thru? Every day. Day in and day out., I challenge you to find a better price for a one third pound double burger at 1.49 or a double burger combo meal at 3.99. One third of a pound! You can have whole wheat or sesame seed buns and you can have it your way. We don't condiment our burgers in advance. Yes it takes more time but you know what you're getting and it's flame broiled not fried. FINALLY. This is the big one. You get a world famous DQ sundae regular 1.99 for only 99 cents with every combo value meal. You can have it that day or any day. If you buy combo meals on a regular basis when you go out, why would you not have to have a 1.99 DQ sundae for only 99 cents that you can have anytime, any day, any year. It's a great value and a great price. I think you'll like the coupon below. Write to us anytime at the address above if you have any comments or call our customer comment hotline at (905) 831-2666.

In recent years recipi- ents of the awards have res- cued a man from drowning, organized cancer support groups, or given their help unquestionably in life- threatening situations. Last year four teenagers from Whitby working with local police, won the Group Award for a video about the misfortunes of drunk dri- ving. That video is now being used in schools across On- tario. This year celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the Ju- nior Citizen award and over the years community news- papers across Ontario have recognized the achieve- ments of mole than 260 young peop and 16 groups.. .

Winners of the Ontario Junior Citizens of the Year Award receive a plaque, a Junior Citizen of the year Lapel Pin, $200 and a por- trait. If you know of a youth who exhibits any of the qualities mentioned above; being an outstanding citi- zen, selflessly giving their time to help others or who have battled a limitation only to help others like them, nominate them for the Junior Achievement Award.

While the season is a joyful time for children, parents can help ensure it's also a safe one by following some tips from the Canadian Red Cross. When planning costumes: • Keep costumes short, with no long hanging pieces to trip over; • Instead of masks, use makeup. Masks limit visibility, and face -paint- ing can be lots of fun; • Weather in October is unpre- dictable. Layering waterproof clothing under a costume will help your chil- dren stay warm if it is cool; • Reflective materials make your children more visible in the darkness of the evening. While trick -or -treating: • Trick -or -treat early during day- light or dusk; • Don't let children go out and ap- proach doors without adult supervi- sion; • If older children go out without adult supervision, plan a route together and note the expected time it will take to complete the route; • Remind children to cross at cross- walks and traffic lights, and not to zig- zag across streets. After collecting Halloween treats: • Check treats and packages before allowing your children to eat or un- wrap them. Discard anything that has not been wrapped or looks like it has been tampered with; and • Keep small candies away from small children to avoid choking. In addition to these tips, the Red Cross offers a course for caregivers and parents dealing with injury preven- tion, child safety and first aid beyond Halloween. For more information on the course call 723-2933 ext. 204. A.J.

An excellent fall tour follows Route 9 south, crosses the Hud- son River, and then follows Route 9W north, providing stunning and panoramic views of the Hudson River Valley countryside all along the way. Take Route 9 south to Rhinebeck, and visit the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. The Aerodrome boasts a fasci- nating collection of vintage First World War fighter planes for avi- ation buffs. Fall foliage rides are offered each weekend in open cockpit bi- planes. Continue south on Route 9 along the scenic Hudson River. In Hyde Park visitors can ex- plore the elegantly landscaped grounds and enjoy breathtaking river views at the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt National His- toric Sites and the 1898 Vander- bilt Mansion National Historic Site. Tours of the mansions are available daily, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Splendid vistas, historic sites dot colourful New York landscape Next, head toward the delight- ful antiquing towns of Beacon, Cold Spring and Garrison. Re- sume driving along Route 9 south to the communities of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. This area (just about 24 miles north of Manhattan) attracts many visitors year-round. Philipsburg Manor, Lyndhurst, and Sunnyside are three of the area's restored homes open to visitors. Philipsburg Manor, in Sleepy Hollow, is a living history muse- um: a working 18th -century farm with a stone manor house, a water -powered grist mill and farm animals. Lyndhurst, a Gothic -revival mansion formerly owned by rail- road baron Jay Gould is replete with furnishings from the late - 19th and early -20th centuries. You'll find Lyndhurst on Route 9 in Tarrytown. Also in Tarrytown, Sunnyside, the charmingly picturesque for- mer home of Washington Irving, has period furnishings and land- scaped grounds. Tours of all three estates are available through Oc- tober. Cafes and picnic grounds are available on site. Cross the Hudson River on the Bed and breakfast in Ireland Ideally, visitors to Ireland prefer to grab a rental car and just drive. That's why bed and breakfast accommodations en route are so popular. And while pre - booking is advised in peak season there is now an option to also go as you please. A program with Air Transat Holi- days features as many as 250 bed and breakfasts across Ireland and Northern Ireland, where you travel on a pre -paid voucher system. Pay here in Canadian dollars (an average of $52 per person per night) and map out your own route. Travelling can also be done on the "pre -booked" option, where reserva- tions are made prior to departure from Canada. Or, you can use the "go -as - you -please" option.

That's the philosophy of Pickering's Deborah Men- donga who experienced a breakthrough season behind the wheel this year, beating the boys in the traditionally male -dominated sport of car racing. In only her second full season driving her Nissan NX 2000, the mother of two captured the points title in the Ontario Challenge Cup Grand Touring 3 class. The nine -event, closed - wheel racing series ran at Mosport International Speedway, near Bow- manville, and Shannonville Speedway, near Belleville, this past summer. Racing in the series began in April and continued until early Octo- ber. Mendonga says she was delighted, but not surprised, by her strong showing in the racing series this season. "I'm pleased with how it went, but I can't say I'm par- ticularly surprised," said Mendonga. "I expected to finish in the top three. Cer- tainly I was pleased with the outcome." Racing against men was not problematic for her. In fact, many of her male com- petitors were complimentary of her driving skills by the end of the series. "Once I put the helmet on, it shouldn't matter (that I'm a woman)," said Men- donga. "I think I'm competi- tive. I think it could hurt their egos, but it shouldn't matter. In the last three or four races in the series, I've proven myself. As I tell them, `there's no pink on my car' ." Racing cars has been a family affair as her father raced for many years and also owned a Honda dealer- ship. Her brother .Roger raced motorcycles and was crowned Canadian champi- on in the 250-c.c. class in 1984. "I guess racing has al- ways been in my blood," she admitted. Her best showing this season came at Mosport Oct. 1 in the ninth and final race. Mendonga finished second, but she was pushed the en- tire way during the tiring and gruelling one-hour race. "It was the most demand- ing race both mentally and physically," recalled Men- donga. "Three of us were in the running and basically we were in competition with each other through the whole race. Any one of us could have won, it was that close." In fact, Mendonga held A.J. GROEN/News Advertiser photo the lead until the final lap when she was passed by a driver with whom she had been duelling the entire race. "I let him pass because it wasn't worth something happening," noted Men- donga, adding it was more important to finish the race and get the necessary points than to win. "It was just a very intense race." Mendonga recalls the racing season didn't get off to a particularly good start, as she finished fifth in the first couple of races. Howev- er, her confidence level grew as she became more accus- tomed to the intense one- hour of racing. "Actually at the begin- ning of the season it was kind of disappointing. I was pulling in fifths and that sort of thing. My philosophy is I don't want to be racing and chasing the pack. You want to be competitive." This year was her first in the Grand Touring 3 class. Last year, she raced in the sprint class for Ontario Re- gion and was awarded the Knap Trophy for outstand- ing sportsmanship by the Canadian Automobile Sports Club. Mendonga's unsure where she'll be racing next season. Although she would like continue to hone her driving skills in a more com- petitive series, she still has- n't made up her mind as to what direction she'll go. "Even if I can get into a higher classification within the (Ontario Challenge Cup) racing series, that's also an option," she said. Pickering's Debbie Mendonca captured the overall championship of the Ontario Challenge Cup in the GT 3 class this past season.

The Power girls were double champions, winning both the Central Girls Soccer League (CGSL) East Division Cup Tournament and the Ajax Invi- tational Tournament recently. The coveted CGSL Cup Tro- phy is designed to have the di- visional teams square off in an elimination format. Pickering faced a challenging road to the championship, but all the hard work and training during the season came to the fore in this event. The Pickering under- 10s played the Ajax United Magic in the final. Although Pickering played with quality and deter- mination in the first half, Ajax played with equal courage yielding a scoreless first half. In. the second half, however, the relentless pressure on the Magic finally paid dividends. The Lone Star girls scored three. outstanding goals in the first 15 minutes of the half, putting the game out of reach for Ajax and ensuring the Cup champi- onship. *EA 0 O.* CER In the first round, the Power avenged an earlier defeat by Whitby with a 2-0 win. In the semifinal match against Peter- borough, Pickering showed strong technical qualities in a 5- 0 victory that earned them a berth in the championship game. Pickering also played in its final tournament of the year, The Ajax Invitational Tourna- ment. The Power girls played games against Ajax United Magic, Peterborough, Aurora and Georgetown in the prelimi- nary round. The winner of the group qualified for the tourna- ment final. The Lone Star girls earned a record of 3-0-1 to advance to the final against the Ajax War- riors. Although the girls sprint- ed out to a 2-0 lead late in the first half, Ajax responded with a goal before the half-time break and one more to tie the game at 2-2 early in the second. Once again, the determination and soccer quality of the Pickering squad showed through as they scored the winning goal and kept constant pressure on its op- ponents until the final whistle. In pool play, Pickering de- feated Ajax United 1-0 in a hard-fought game. A powerful offensive performance against Peterborough resulted in a 6-1 win in Game 2, while in the best game of the day, Pickering and Aurora played to an excit- ing scoreless draw. In its final round-robin game, Pickering posted a 2-0 win over George- town to advance to the final.
