nabbed by K-9 unit
PICKERING –– Durham Re-
gional Police Constable Dave
Mounsteven and his K-9 partner
Chase sniffed out a pair of armed
suspects hiding in a Pickering
shed following a robbery-related
incident Saturday night in Scar-
borough.
A knife, a loaded sawed-off
shotgun and ski masks were also
recovered.
Police said plainclothes
Toronto officers had pursued a
vehicle from Port Union Road
after observing four suspects
wearing balaclavas near a conve-
nience store.
The suspect car was chased
to Pickering and ditched near

enue.
Durham officers were called
in to assist in the search and the
K-9 team captured two of the four
suspects hiding in a nearby back-
yard shed at about 10:35 p.m.,

Start-up of idled Pickering reactors next step for Ontario Power Generation
Pickering nuclear to seek licence
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
PICKERING —The li-
censing process is the next step
for Ontario Power Generation
as it moves to restart four laid-
up reactors at the Pickering nu-
clear plant.
Last week, the Canadian Nu-
clear Safety Commission ap-
proved the Environmental As-
sessment completed by OPG on
the restart of the four older reac-
tors on the ‘A’side.
During a meeting of the
Community Advisory Council
(CAC), Pickering site support
director John Froats said the
CNSC decision “doesn’t mean
we have permission to restart it.
Now, we go back to the regular
process of licensing.”
In its decision last week, the
CNSC stated the restart “isn’t
likely to cause significant ad-
verse environmental effects”.
The four reactors have been idle
since 1997.
“Of course, we’re pretty
happy the process has got some
clear definition, a clear process
to it,” Mr. Froats said. “In
essence, the CNSC came to the
conclusion the restart isn’t like-
ly to adversely affect the envi-
ronment.”
The CNSC holds a licensing
hearing in Ottawa on March 8.
The hearing is for the ‘A’ and
‘B’ sides, and for the waste
management facility at Picker-
ing. The four reactors on the ‘B’
side are currently operating.
“We’ve got a lot of reviews
to go through,” Mr. Froats
noted. “There are at least three
opportunities to go to Ottawa
and be before the CNSC.”
OPG has a program to fol-
low in relicensing all four ‘A’re-
actors, but “we have to go back
(to the CNSC) with stages. The
CNSC can say ‘I want a presen-
tation moment by moment,’” he
said. “In March, we’ll know if
the standard process is the
process.”
If successful, the March
hearing “gets us a licence for
‘B’and some kind of licence for
‘A’,” Mr. Froats added. “Typi-
cally, we go back to the CNSC
at least every quarter. There are
documents we have to submit.”
OPG spokesman Pat
O’Brien said, “The EA decision
isn’t a green light to start the
plant. It’s a step in that direc-
tion. It allows us to spend $700
to $800 million (in improve-
ments) with a bit more confi-
dence.”
Among the conditions re-
quired before relicensing are
conducting a facility risk as-
sessment, a continued resolu-
tion of tritium in groundwater
under the plant and keeping the
public education program
going.
Liz Oliver, a CAC member
from Scarborough, said,
PAT O’BRIEN
EA decision ‘isn’t a green
light to start the plant.’

Pickering history
goes digital
Library electronically archives
newspapers dating back to 1800s
PICKERING —Picker-
ing residents will soon be able
to browse online through
local newspapers dating back
to the late 1800s, thanks to a
new Pickering Public Library
project.
The library launched on
Monday a historical database
that chronicles in a digitized
format, events in Pickering
from 1881 to 2000.
The first phase of the pro-
ject includes the digitization
of local newspapers including
The Pickering News Advertis-
er, The Pickering News, The
Bay News, The Bay Reporter
and The Pickering Post.
“Community newspapers
really play a significant role
in the history of our commu-
nity,” said Cathy Grant, who
demonstrated the online ac-
cess during a news confer-
ence Monday.
She noted the library,
which has been “in the busi-
ness of the preservation of our
historical records for many
years,” currently has newspa-
pers in various formats, in-
cluding microfiche, microfilm
and paper.
And she said the digital
format, which will provide
easy access to newspapers in
the library and on the Internet,
was “a logical next step for
us”.
Ms. Grant explained users
will simply choose a paper
and a date and then download
and browse through the entire
edition. She notes the PDF
format means the digital im-
ages look very much like the
original paper.
“This database will be a
valuable resource for stu-
dents, researchers and others
by making historical informa-
tion about Pickering more
easily accessible,” said Pick-
ering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan
McTeague, who was on hand
to represent the federal gov-
ernment, which contributed a
grant of $7,748 through the
Canada Millennium Partner-
ship Program.
“The money, I believe, is
more than well spent,” he

Pickering seeks waterfront views
PICKERING ––Members
of the public are invited to pro-
vide input on the design theme
for the south Liverpool Road
area at a public meeting being
held here next month.
A presentation on phase two
of the Liverpool Road South
Area Land Use and Design
Study is being held at City Hall
March 7.
The ongoing study, which
was triggered by two develop-
ment applications, is divided into
two phases and examines both
sides of Liverpool Road from
Commerce Street to Lake On-
tario. The first phase, which was
endorsed by the City last June,
examined the opportunities and
constraints for development in
the area, set broad land use and
design objectives and estab-
lished an implementation strate-
gy that will guide the review of
rezoning applications. Phase two
will prepare the detailed urban
design and landscape guidelines,
which will be used to guide the
review of site plan applications
and infrastructure designs.
The meeting takes place at
7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Civic
Complex, One The Esplanade.
For more information call 420-
4660 ext. 2033.
Trio charged in Ajax, Pickering burglary spree
Three alleged members of a
break-and-enter gang are fac-
ing a total of 78 criminal
charges following a two-week
Durham Regional Police inves-
tigation.
Sergeant Jim Grimley said
detectives from the Oshawa
and Whitby criminal investiga-
tion branches began the probe
after numerous homes and cot-
tages in Pickering, Ajax,
Uxbridge and Bolsover were
burglarized.
He said the investigation re-
vealed property stolen from the
residences was later sold to
second-hand stores in the Os-
hawa, Whitby and Ajax areas.
Three local men, who police
suspect in as many as 15 break-
ins, were arrested over the
weekend and charged with a
variety of burglary-related
counts, including possession of
stolen property and using
stolen credit cards.
Charged are Terry and Cory
Crockatt (also known by the
last name Battle), ages 20 and
19, of Salem Drive in Ajax, and
18-year-old Ricky Fraser, of
Annes Street in Whitby.
The investigation is continu-
ing by Durham and York re-
gional police.
EA on Hwy. 407 extension a done deal: Anderson
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
Get the transponders ready.
Regional chairman Roger
Anderson confirmed yester-
day the Province is set to
begin a needs study and envi-
ronmental assessment on a
Hwy. 407 extension through
Durham to Hwy. 35/115.
“We just received a letter
from the Minister of Trans-
portation today,” confirmed
Mr. Anderson Tuesday. “The
407 will come from Brock
Road (in Pickering) through to
Hwy. 35/115 with two high-
speed links to the 401.”
Durham MPP John O’-
Toole says the locations of the
links to Hwy. 401 are still not
confirmed. However, two pos-
sible considerations are Han-
cock Road, just east of Cour-
tice Road in Clarington and
Lakeridge Road on the Whitby
and Ajax border. The latter,
however, is “problematic” and
will need consideration during
the study process, says Mr.
O’Toole.
The Province’s technically
preferred route for the high-
way at this point jogs to the
north and south of Hwy. 7
through Ajax, Whitby and Os-
hawa, then dips down to with-
in about a mile of Taunton
Road at Courtice Road, says
Mr. O’Toole.
Mr. Anderson says the
Province “will commence the
needs study and environmen-
tal assessment in the next cou-
ple of months.” Although
there is no set date for con-
struction to begin, Mr. Ander-
son believes the studies will
take 12 to 14 months to com-

An Ajax man has been sentenced
to 30 months in prison for impaired
driving causing the death of a father
of two who was visiting from Aus-
tralia.
James Lever, 48, of Noake Cres-
cent, had a blood-alcohol level of
more than twice the legal limit when
he struck 40-year-old cyclist Michael
Carlson on Sunday, Sept. 5, 1999.
Mr. Carlson was thrown 55 metres
into a ditch,
killing him in-
stantly, court
was told.
At the time of
the collision,
Mr. Lever was
disqualified
from driving as a
result of a 1998
drinking and dri-
ving conviction,
said Constable
John Dorsch of
Durham Region-
al Police’s traffic
management
unit.
Mr. Carlson,
an Australian
government em-
ployee, and his
family were liv-
ing in Ajax at the
time while his
wife, Rhona,
was working as
a teacher as part
of a six-month
exchange pro-
gram, the police
officer said.
An avid cyclist, the father of two
young boys was riding south on
Westney Road on the paved shoulder
at about 8:20 a.m. when he was
struck from behind by Mr. Lever’s
full-size Chevy pickup, near Taunton
Road.
After a 20-hour flight from her
home, Mrs. Carlson gave an emotion-
al victim impact statement in an Os-
hawa court Thursday. Weeping
throughout, she told Judge Greg
Regis of the nightmare her visit to
Canada turned into and the devasta-
tion her husband’s death has caused
herself and the children.
Mr. Lever, who earlier pleaded
guilty to the impaired charge, was
also prohibited from driving for five
years as part of his sentence.
Crown attorney Jin Won Kim ar-
gued during the hearing for a prison
sentence of five to seven years, say-
ing he was “struck by how tragically
common the circumstances of this
case are” when reviewing case law.

Regional council members
received more than $700,000 in
remuneration and expenses last
year, according to a report pre-
sented to Durham’s finance and
administration committee
Wednesday.
The report, prepared by fi-
nance commissioner Jim Clapp,
is required on an annual basis
under the Municipal Act. In
2000, the total amount paid to
Regional council members in re-
muneration and expenses, which
includes mileage and costs for
attending conferences, conven-
tions and meetings, was
$776,253.
However, that figure does not
include the $120,976 paid to Re-
gional Chairman Roger Ander-
son for remuneration, automo-
tive expenses, and conferences,
conventions and meetings.
His salary in 2000 was
$87,711, automotive was
$3,913, and he claimed $29,351
in the other expense categories.
Figures are rounded to the near-
est dollar.
It also excludes the $11,455
costs for Mr. Anderson, Oshawa
Councillor Bob Boychyn and
former Clarington Councillor
Mary Novak to visit the Ukraine
on Regional business last
spring.
The Region received a
$10,000 contribution from the
Association of Canadian Com-
munity Colleges towards that
cost.
And, it excludes the remuner-
ation paid to Regional council
appointees on the five conserva-
tion authorities in Durham, the
Durham Haliburton Kawartha
and Pine Ridge District Health
Council, the Durham Region
Non-Profit Housing Corpora-
tion, the Land Division Com-
mittee and the Durham Police
Services Board.
In all, the total remuneration,
mileage and conference costs
for representatives on those
committees totalled more than
$73,000.
No remuneration or expenses
were paid to Regional council
appointees to the Durham Chil-
dren’s Aid Society, 911 Man-
agement Board, Durham Re-
gional Housing Authority or the
hospital boards.
Pickering Councillor Rick
Johnson, who chairs Durham’s
works committee, claimed the
most money in 2000 at $6,349,
including $1,555 in mileage and
$4,794 for conferences, conven-
tions and meetings.
Former Pickering Councillor
Doug Dickerson was next at
$3,942, including $571 in
mileage and $3,371 for confer-
ences, conventions and meet-
ings.
The base salary for a Region-
al councillor is $23,649, but
committee chairmen also re-
ceive extra pay.
Several councillors didn’t
claim any expenses in 2000 in-
cluding Oshawa Councillor
Clare Aker, Ajax Councillor
Scott Crawford, Whitby Coun-
cillor Joe Drumm, Oshawa
Councillor John Gray, former
Oshawa Councillor Irv Harrell
and Whitby Councillor Pat
Perkins.
Also near the bottom of the
spending list were Ajax Mayor
Steve Parish who claimed
$96.26 for conferences, conven-
tions and meetings.
He did not claim for any
mileage expenses last year. Os-
hawa Councillor Bob Boychyn
had $56.48 in expenses for con-
ferences, conventions and meet-
ings and $117 in mileage. In his
role as police board chairman,
Coun. Boychyn claimed $1,957
for conferences and $62 in
mileage.
The seven councillors elected
to the Region in November did
not claim any mileage or confer-
ence expenses.
According to the report, Re-
gional councillors are reim-
bursed for mileage based on a
rate per kilometre and for con-
ferences and meetings based on
a rate of $50 per day for meals,
etc. without any receipts.
If the daily rate is insuffi-
cient, actual expenses with re-
ceipts are reimbursed. Accom-
modation or registration costs
for conferences are also reim-
bursed based on actual receipts.
The report also indicated Os-
hawa Councillor Brian Nichol-
son, who was defeated in No-
vember’s municipal election,
and Oshawa Councillor Irv Har-
rell, who retired last fall,
claimed severance pay prior to
Dec. 31.
The former councillors were
eligible for $29,795 and
$23,795, respectively.
Mr. Clapp reported “a lot of
others have come forward since
Dec. 31 (to claim severance
pay).”
Those costs will be included
in the Region’s 2001 remunera-
tion and expense report,Mr.
Clapp said.
In an interview he explained
councillors who are defeated in
an election, who resign or who
retire from office are eligible for
severance pay under a Durham
bylaw.
The amount councillors re-
ceive is determined by multiply-
ing one-twelfth of the annual re-
muneration they receive by the
number of years they served on
council.
The maximum councillors
can receive is a year’s remuner-
ation.

plete and he hopes construction might
begin soon after.
The announcement is welcome
news for Clarington, says Mayor John
Mutton. The highway will be a solu-
tion to the gridlock in the east end, he
says, noting it will be good news for
the many commuters heading into
Toronto each day. “It’s great for the
commuters. It’s like a shot (fast route)
to the airport.”
Economically, the highway could
open a new chapter for Durham, sug-
gests Mr. Anderson.
“If it proceeds quickly it is huge
news for us. It will provide accessibil-
ity for our major employers. The eco-
nomic advantages are tremendous.
“That’s what we’re looking for. We
need that (commercial/industrial) as-
sessment growth and we won’t get it
without the highway.”
Mayor Mutton points out the high-
way would be an added selling point
for Canada’s bid to host a $12-billion
international research facility in Clar-
ington.
“It will be the third major highway
(through Clarington) and will be an
attraction to any business for the
movement of goods and people,” he
says.
Mr. O’Toole notes the environmen-
tal issues and co-ordination with the
federal government will be a large
part of the work in the coming
months. “There are moraine issues
and water issues,” he says. “I’m very
pleased there will be public process
during the environmental assess-
ment.”
Mayor Mutton concurs, suggesting
the studies will answer questions for
property owners who have been left to
speculate on whether the highway
will impact them.
“We’re happy we now know what the
date is. Up until now it’s been up in
the air. There are a lot of people won-
dering how it’s going to affect their
properties. The mystery is coming to
an end.”
“There’s almost a level of
comfort, at least in our com-
munity. There are no strong
views of people about the
plant. Community outreach
is part of that. I’m not saying
there’s not strong feelings.
The general feeling I’m get-
ting is people aren’t too con-
cerned.”
Mr. O’Brien also said the
reaction has been quiet.
“There isn’t the concern
expressed. People haven’t
expressed concern. I think
it’s generally been received
quite well,” he said.
OPG hopes to have Unit 4
on the A-side back online by
Dec. 31 of this year, Mr.
Froats said.
The schedule is to have
all the reactors up and run-
ning by the end of 2003.
“Typically, there’s six to
nine months between
(restarting) units,” Mr. Froats
said, adding the six- to nine-
month time frame is “stan-
dard in the industry”.

Durham Catholic elementary
teachers are meeting today (Wednes-
day) to decide if they will hold a
strike vote on March 5.
Bill Stratton, elementary president
of the Ontario English Catholic
Teachers’ Association (OECTA), on
Monday said talks with the Durham
Catholic District School Board are at
a standstill.
The teachers last Wednesday filed
a no board report, the first step to-
wards any possible labour action,
after a third conciliation session with
the board failed to produce an agree-
ment on all the outstanding issues
standing in the way of a new con-
tract.
The Ontario Ministry of Labour
granted the no board request last Fri-
day.
“Filing a report is an indication
that at least one side has determined
there is a stalemate in collective bar-
gaining, and that further action is
necessary,” said Mr. Stratton.
“It could be mediation or it could
be job action.”
Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin,
chairman of the board’s negotiating
team, said she is “still very hopeful”
a collective agreement can be
reached.
“I was surprised that they filed a
no board report,” she added.
She expects another meeting to be
held in the near future, noting the
provincial conciliator sets the date
after conferring with the parties.
Roughly 55 OECTA elementary
representatives will vote today on
whether or not to hold a general
meeting where a strike vote would be
held.
Mr. Stratton said teachers are in a
legal position to take job action 17
days after the no board report was
granted, on March 12, when the next
school board meeting is scheduled.
Action could include a work-to-rule
campaign or a full strike.
“We want to do everything we can
not to take the ultimate sanction, a
complete walkout,” he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
New initiative
has nice ring to it
To the editor:
I recently read about the
newest health-care initiative
being offered to the public by the
government of Ontario.
This new system called ‘Tele-
health Ontario’gives the commu-
nity access by telephone to health
care information from registered
nurses at any time of day or night.
The good thing about the service
is that it is free and will be avail-
able throughout the province by
the end of the year.
This move by the government
has been long overdue and will
help alleviate the pressures on
emergency waiting areas so they
will be able to deal with more ur-
gent and life-threatening issues. I
think this is a great service to the
public.
Many times it is the fear of the
unknown that sends patients to
hospital emergency rooms where
they may wait for hours regarding
health issues that were not urgent.
As a mother of young children, it
will be reassuring to know sound
advice is only a phone call away.
Based on the pilot program done
in northern Ontario, it should
prove to be beneficial to many.
D.M. Walker
Keep families
fire safe: chief
To the editor:
In the last month we have had
four major house fires where the
owners have literally been burned
out of their homes. Fortunately
there were no injuries, but that in
no way lessens my concerns. At
one particular fire, the safety of
four of my firefighters was jeopar-
dized as they narrowly escaped the
burning house.
No one ever wants to have a fire
in their home. The consequences
are too tragic. That’s why I encour-
age all Pickering citizens to be “fire
safe”.
It is important parents initiate a
‘fire escape plan’ with their loved
ones. They have to spend time, per-
haps simply at the dinner table,
talking about what everyone should
do if a fire occurs. This can include
things such as when smoke is de-
tected within the home, someone
calls 911 immediately. Valuable
time can be wasted by searching
the house for the source, as well as
there is a risk of injury. Please don’t
wait, make the phone call.
As well, ensure everybody is
safely out of the house and that
they all congregate at a pre-selected
spot, preferably in the front of the
house. That way when firefighters
arrive the officer on the first arriv-
ing truck can be told everyone is
out safely. This allows the officer to
adapt appropriate fire tactics.
Parents should complete a
‘walk-around’ through their house
before going to bed at night. This
will ensure everything that should
be turned off, is off. Make sure can-
dles are extinguished, keep com-
bustibles away from fireplaces and
look for and eliminate things that
could cause a fire.
Fire not only destroys the house
itself but it also destroys lifelong
mementos, pictures and collec-
tables. These items cannot be re-
placed. Psychologically, fires can
leave lasting memories for those
involved. Physically, people who
suffer from burns may have to face
long-term medical treatment.
As Pickering’s new fire chief, I
want people to take a few minutes
to ensure their families are kept
safe from fire.

EDITORIAL
Don’t stop shelter
efforts now
Groups’ works a tremendous
legacy for Gillian Hadley
A logical step back
Thanks to Pickering library
project, history’s at our fingertips
If there is anything good that can come from the June
2000 murder of Pickering resident Gillian Hadley, it will
be found in a permanent home for victims of domestic vi-
olence.
Ms. Hadley died from a single gunshot after her es-
tranged husband broke into her Pickering home on a
warm June morning and confronted her. Area neighbours
responded to her cries for help but could do nothing to
stop Ralph Hadley from carrying out his deadly mission.
The morning’s tragic events ended when Mr. Hadley
turned the gun on himself.
Details surrounding the case seemed chillingly famil-
iar to others in the news. The common thread in all is that
the victims were women and they died violently.
In the intervening eight months, individuals and group
in Ajax and Pickering have been working diligently be-
hind the scenes to honour the memory of Gillian Hadley
and all victims of domestic violence by pushing for a
shelter here in west Durham.
And, it seems, their efforts are starting to show results.
Barbara Fleming, a spokesman for the Ajax-Pickering
Women’s Centre (APWC) said a shelter could be up and
running by the fall season this year. Local groups joined
forces — including the APWC and the Social Develop-
ment Council — to begin the process to find a permanent
home for women who suffer at the hands of their mates.
Individual efforts as well, including those of Durham
Regional Police Constable Cheryl Carter, have been en-
couraging.
Their hard work, if nothing else, has served to identi-
fy the pressing need for some sort of shelter for residents
in the western portion of Durham Region. Denise House,
despite its best efforts, simply can’t meet the ever-grow-
ing need for shelter and support services.
In Ajax and Pickering, the numbers so far are impres-
sive, but more must be done. To date, reports Ms. Flem-
ing, more than $80,000 has been committed to establish-
ing a west Durham centre. But that money — which will
be used to operate programs, provide counselling and
support for domestic violence victims — cannot be used
without a shelter, without the bricks and mortar necessary
to shield these victims from further violence.
Certainly, Gillian Hadley’s memory is being honoured
by the efforts that have taken place so far. But the next big
step, securing a facility, will have a far more profound
and lasting impact on the lives of women here in the fu-
ture.
There is still such a long way to go; don’t stop now.
Digging into our past doesn’t get any easier than this.
The Pickering Public Library unveiled on Monday a
new feature coming soon to its Web site that will take you
back a week, year or even a couple of centuries at the
touch of a mouse.
The historical database chronicles the lives, loves and
leisures of Pickering from 1881 to 2000 through a num-
ber of different community newspapers, including the
Pickering News Advertiser.
The newspapers had been in various formats, including
microfiche, microfilm and paper, so the move to the digi-
tized format was “a logical next step for us”, said the li-
brary’s Cathy Grant.
Through the Internet link, users will simply choose a
paper and date and then download and browse through the
entire edition to enjoy generations of heroes and villains,
five-cent sales, and tragic tales.
And with today’s technologically progressive world,
it’s safe to say just about everyone has access to the In-
ternet through either a home computer, friend, work or
the public library. Which means this $31,000 project,
funded by the City of Pickering and Millennium Bureau
of Canada, is a giant bargain and boost for the communi-
ty.
From teachers and parents working with children on
projects dealing with their heritage, to men and women
investigating prospective business opportunities, to news-
paper reporters researching stories, it’s an invaluable tool
the entire city will be able to utilize for years to come.
It’s also the type of project that continues to reaffirm
why the Pickering Public Library has been rewarded time
and again for its innovative work.

Premier Mike Harris is running
out of excuses for refusing to speak
up against the abuse of human
rights in China — his next may be
he never learned the language.
The Progressive Conservative
premier was on Prime Minister
Jean Chretien’s trade mission to
China when the prime minister
said Canadians are disturbed by its
continued arrests and imprison-
ment of political and religious dis-
sidents.
Mr. Chretien mentioned partic-
ularly its crackdown on the Falun
Gong spiritual movement, in which
143 of its members have died, and
its continued occupation of Tibet.
Mr. Chretien watered down his
criticism by adding China has im-
proved on rights and he probably
would not have raised the issue if
he hadn’t been pushed by activists
in Canada, but at least he raised it.
Mr. Harris was there through-
out. We know because he kept re-
leasing statements the mission was
doing great work signing agree-
ments with China that will create
jobs in Ontario.
He also was seen in a Maple
Leafs’sweater in mock scrimmage
with Mr. Chretien before a hockey
game. But the premier did not chip
in any criticism of his own of
China’s abuse of rights, which was
a serious omission, because when
he was in opposition he said he
would not go to China without
telling it frankly it should stop
abusing rights.
New Democrat leader Bob Rae
was premier at the time and had
been to China to promote trade, but
did not publicly criticize it for
abusing rights. Five years earlier
Chinese troops had massacred
1,000 demonstrators in Beijing’s
Tiananmen Square and feelings
against China were still running
particularly high.
Mr. Rae and the New Democ-
rats before they were elected to
government also had a habit of
rushing to condemn repression
anywhere in the world and de-
manding Ontario speak up against
it.
But as premier Mr. Rae backed
off rebuking China because his
government needed more trade
desperately in a recession that left
it struggling to hold on to jobs and
finance programs, therefore he
could not afford to make criticisms
that might discourage it.
Mr. Rae said instead the best
way to encourage China to reform
rights was to expand ties in trade
and culture that would help citizens
of each country understand how
the other lived.
Mr. Rae claimed also a jurisdic-
tion as small as Ontario could not
say anything or impose any sanc-
tions that would force a huge coun-
try like China to change its poli-
cies.
Mr. Harris leaped on Mr. Rae,
saying he would have gone to
China because of the need for trade
but at the same time issued a clear
statement condemning that coun-
try’s abuse of rights.
“Pursuing trade cannot be an
excuse to downplay human rights,”
Mr. Harris said, suggesting Mr.
Rae should have been first to
protest, because he had been a
world champion in demanding oth-
ers do so.
Mr. Harris cannot argue abuse
of rights in China is no longer an
issue, because during the recent
mission, Amnesty International re-
leased a report saying imprison-
ment and torture of dissidents in
China is increasing.
The premier also cannot claim
Ontario is too small to influence
China and therefore should leave
Mr. Chretien to speak for the coun-
try, because he made the point to
Mr. Rae the province is a reason-
ably significant player in interna-
tional trade, so its premier will be
listened to.
Mr. Harris as premier has now
visited China twice and had two
Chinese leaders visit him here and
not raised any concern about
human rights, saying they were not
on the agenda.
The premier answered ques-
tions on his recent trip by saying it
would have been unsporting for
him to raise human rights, because
Toronto is competing against Bei-
jing to host the 2008 Olympic
Games and should win on its mer-
its as a site and not by knocking a
rival.
But the premier has made help-
ing business just about his No. 1
priority through cutting its taxes,
weakening unions and keeping the
minimum wage low.
He has by now made it clear he
is not going to speak out on human
rights if this could handicap On-
tario business in obtaining con-
tracts and he figures few will re-
member his promise anyway.
All bark, no bite on human rights
Despite past record, premier silent during China trip

YOU SAID IT
The question was:
What’s your reaction to the idea
we could face up to five years
of property tax hikes in Durham?
Dave Stewart
said,“I don’t
like the idea. We
pay enough
taxes. They can
cut it out of
other places.”
Gale Mossman
said,“We can’t
expect to have
this continued
high growth
without the in-
creased cost. It
just doesn’t
make sense.”
Bruce
Campbell said,
“What are you
going to do
about it? I’m
not happy, but
that’s the way it
goes.”

WARNING
THE ICE ON FRENCHMAN’S BAY is
not safe for persons to take any vehicle
including cars, trucks, snowmobiles and
all-terrain vehicles on.
Also, persons are warned that the ice on
the Bay is not safe for walking, skating or
ice fishing.
At this time of the year, the weather
fluctuates dramatically and temperature
changes to the water coming into
Frenchman’s Bay from Lake Ontario and
from the watercourses that drain into the
Bay have a tendency to weaken the ice
very quickly.
PROPOSED INCREASE
TO TAXICAB FARES
The Council of the City of Pickering will be
considering a by-law at its meeting of Monday,
March 5th, 2001 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council
Chamber at the Pickering Civic Complex to
increase taxicab fares by approximately 7.7%.
Any person wishing to address Council with
respect to this issue must contact the City
Clerk’s Office by noon of Friday, March 2nd to
register as a speaker at the Council Meeting.
A copy of the Report regarding this matter will
be available in the City Clerk’s Office on
Thursday, March 1st.

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is
hoping to begin restarting the Picker-
ing ‘A’ reactors at the end of this year.
The formal decision to allow the restart
of the four units requires a licence
amendment that will be considered by
the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis-
sion (CNSC formerly the Atomic Ener-
gy Control Board) on March 8.
The Sierra Club of Canada Nuclear
Campaign is calling on the federal
Minister of the Environment, David
Anderson, to order a full independent
environmental assessment on the
restart, following an announcement by
the CNSC that it has approved an
OPG-conducted screening level report
on the proposed restart of Canada’s
oldest commercial nuclear station.
“The nuclear commission refused to
consider the possibility of a catastroph-
ic nuclear accident at the Pickering
plant,” Sierra Club research consultant
Irene Kock said. “That is a wilful dis-
regard of public safety. Failure to deal
with the cost and energy alternatives to
restarting the four out-dated Pickering
reactors makes a mockery of the Envi-
ronmental Assessment Act. There are
safer, cleaner and cheaper energy alter-
natives to restarting the four old Pick-
ering reactors. An impartial public re-
view would prove it.”
Durham Nuclear Awareness (DNA),
Pickering citizen groups and the City
of Toronto have asked Mr. Anderson to
order a full impartial panel review on
the risks of restart and alternatives to
restart, but he has decided to await
completion of the nuclear commission
review.
The auditor general’s 2000 report
(released Feb. 6) noted CNSC does not
use an objective rating system to assess
reactor safety, but rather “an intuitive
approach, relying on the judgment and
expertise of staff”, many of whom have
come to the CNSC from the nuclear in-
dustry.
A recent letter to the editor in the
News Advertiser commented on the
fact Whites Road is one of the main ar-
teries for escape in the event of a nu-
clear accident. Although the letter was
referring to the proposed York water
pipe that would affect this road, the
point was a valid one. Through all the
concern about nuclear safety and the
need for more water, I ask of OPG and
the City of Pickering:
• Why isn’t the nuclear industry ex-
perimenting with wind power as in
Holland and other countries? If its
function is to supply energy, why are
they not branching out to something
environmentally sustainable? This
year, the City of Toronto is putting a
wind generator at Ashbridge’s Bay. It’s
time we saw wind generators appear at
Frenchman’s Bay; and
• Why is there not more public edu-
cation and implementation for water
and energy conservation?

DURHAM - A new report has just been
released which identifies the 6 most
common and costly mistakes that
homebuyers make when moving to a larger
home.
Unlike the experience of buying a first
home, when you’re looking to move-up, and
already own a home, there are certain
factors that can complicate the situation. It’s
very important for you to understand these
issues before you list your home for sale.
Not only is there the issue of financing to
consider, but you also have to sell your
present home at exactly the right time in
order to avoid either the financial burden of
owning two homes or, just as bad, the
dilemma of having no place to live during
the gap between closings.
In answer to this issue, industry insiders
have prepared a free special report entitled
“6 Inside Strategies to Avoid Trade-Up
Mistakes.”
These six strategies will help you make
informed choices before you put your home
on the market in anticipation of moving to a
larger home.
To hear a brief recorded message about
how to order your copy of this FREE
report, call 1-800-515-1698 and enter ID
#1007. You can call anytime, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.

know to make your move up to a larger
home worry-free and without complications.

Liphardt, Felicien front and centre
at Big Ten Conference indoor showdown
PICKERING —
Two one-hundredths of
a second.
That was the margin
that prevented Picker-
ing’s Perdita Felicien
from claiming a Big
Ten Conference indoor
track and field title in
the women’s 60-metre
hurdles at the champi-
onships at Purdue Uni-
versity in West
Lafayette, Ind. this past
weekend.
Felicien finished
second to Ohio State’s
Donica Merriman. The
Pine Ridge Secondary
School grad ran to a siz-
zling mark of 8.00 in
the final, edged by Mer-
riman who won in 7.98
— the event’s top colle-
giate time in the nation
this year. Felicien’s
time was the second
fastest of the year.
“I think this race
today speaks volumes
of how competitive the
Big Ten is in the hur-
dles,” said Felicien, in a
story posted on the Uni-
versity of Illinois’ ath-
letic Web site. “It is a
bittersweet feeling be-
cause I wanted to win
the title. But, I set a new
personal best, and I
can’t ask any more of
myself than that. Now I
have to turn my focus to
nationals, which are
only two weeks away.”
Her time of 8.07 in
the semifinals broke her
own school record and
was a new Big 10
record that, in turn, was
bettered by Merriman
in the final.
The Fighting Illini
women’s track and field
team finished eighth
overall in the Big Ten
Conference this year,
with a point total of 45
at the two-day champi-
onships. The host Pur-
due Boilermakers won
the title with 108
points.
Felicien will com-
pete in the event for the
University of Illinois at
the National Collegiate
Athletic Association In-
door Track and Field
Championships at the
University of Arkansas
in Fayetteville, Ark.
March 9 and 10.
Felicien wasn’t the
only local track and
field athlete who com-
peted at the Big Ten
championships. Krissy
Liphardt, of Ajax, a ju-
nior with Purdue,
helped her school win
the overall title by earn-
ing two gold medals.
Liphardt won the
women’s 400-metre
dash final in a time of
54.89 seconds. She also
anchored Purdue’s 4-x-
400-metre relay team
that won the gold medal
in a time of 3:42.91.
The Dunbarton High
School graduate’s indi-
vidual and team gold
medals were chiefly re-
sponsible for pushing
the Boilermakers to the
overall team title on the
final day of the champi-
onships. It was the first
time Purdue had cap-
tured the conference in-
door track title.
“I’ve never won an
individual champi-
onship before and I am
so happy that I did,”
said Liphardt in a story
on Purdue University’s
athletic Web site. “I was
overjoyed when we
won the relay which al-
lowed us to win the
championship.”
Both times were pro-
visional qualifying
times for the NCAA
championships next
month. By posting a
provisional time, it
means Liphardt’s met
the minimum standard
to qualify for the na-
tional championships.

PICKERING —The Pickering
Panthers TACC Construction major
bantam ‘A’ rep hockey team went un-
defeated to start the second round of
the Lakeshore League playoffs.
The Panthers took on their rivals,
the Peterborough Nationals, on the
road and managed to skate away with
an 11-5 victory. Scoring for the Pan-
thers were Colin Campbell, Paul Jef-
fries and Chris MacLeod with two
each and Giancarlo Domingo, Craig
Burrell and Matt Yarmoluk with one
each. The other goal scorers were not
provided. Kenny Saunders played a
strong game in net.
The Panthers played the Nationals
at home and were able to pull off an
exciting 7-3 win. Panthers’goalie An-
drew Wilcox had a stellar perfor-
mance. Scoring were Campbell with
a hat trick, Sean McAteer with a pair
and MacLeod and Craig Burrell with
singles.
The Panthers skated to a 1-1 tie
with a tough Trenton squad.
The two teams exchanged goals in
the second period but that would be
all for the game. Pickering was able
to hold off Trenton thanks to some
solid goaltending by Saunders. Scor-
ing for the Panthers was Robert Bay-
ley.

PICKER-
ING — The
Pickering belle
‘A’ team will
represent the
Central Region
at the Ontario
Ringette Cham-
pionships after
ousting Whitby
to earn a ticket
to the provin-
cials.
In the best-of-
three series
against Whitby
in Mariposa,
Pickering won
the first game 6-
0, then closed
out the series
with a close 3-2
victory to ad-
vance to the
provincials in
West Ferris from
March 15 to 18.
Outstanding
team play has
been the key to
the Pickering
squad’s success.
Goaltender
Cassy Clayton
has played ex-
tremely well
throughout the
season. She was
supported by the
fine defensive
work of Amanda
Deveaux, Emily
Helmer, Laura
Gallagher, Tara
Edwards,
Brooke
Jamieson and
Lauren Gold-
smith. The
team’s goals
against average
is the best in the
Central Ontario
Ringette League.
The Pickering
belle forwards
— Erica Purdy,
Terri Ellison,
Meagan McKen-
ty, Diana
Cholakov, Carrie
File, Tanya
Hanna, Melanie
Curran and
Stephanie Flat-
man — have
been consistent-
ly effective in
causing
turnovers and
scoring goals.
They have been
a key element in
the club’s first-
place standing in
league play
which featured
only one loss.
Pickering also
had a successful
tournament sea-
son with a third-
place finish in
Gloucester and
silver medals at
the Whitby and
Pickering tour-
naments. Strong
leadership from
captains De-
veaux, Purdy,
Ellison and
McKenty helped
bring this group
together. Picker-
ing has beaten
every team in the
province except
Chatham. In
both encounters
with Chatham,
the belles lost 4-
3.

late Dr. Irene S. Morrison. Special person and
friend to many who knew and admired him,
from his pals at General Motors to all the
people in the education field he dealt with in
the E.D.G.E. Program and the many long
friendships he enjoyed. Loved by his pets
Monty and Max. The family will receive

You need more than the write
stuff to be a successful writer.
For instance you need to know
how to deal with the taxman
when he comes calling.
On March 24, the Writers’
Circle of Durham Region pre-
sents a workshop, ‘Taxation Tips
for Writers,’ to ensure the gov-
ernment doesn’t profit from all
your hard work more than it
should.
How does Revenue Canada
define “freelance”? Can you
deduct research expenses? How
do you value a work in progress?
Gwynn Scheltema, a freelance
writer and an accountant for over
25 years, answer these and other
writer-related tax questions for
you.
\ Cost is $25 for non-members,
$20 for members. It takes place
at Toronto School of Business,
1450 Kingston Rd., Pickering,
from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Next up on WCDR’s spring
workshop lineup is ‘Creative
Non-Fiction - Truthful Tips.’ On
March 25, Dale Slongwhite will
help you discover “what is truth”
in non-fiction, how to expand
your view of the world through
art and photography, different
methods of organizing your
thoughts, and much more.
Cost is $40 for non-members,
$35 for members. It takes place
at College Park Church, 1164
King St. E., Oshawa, from 1164
King St. E., Oshawa, from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m.
On April 21, 10 a.m. to 4
p.m., Annie Jacobsen leads a
workshop on ‘Proprioceptive
Writing.’ Proprioceptive writing
is a meditational practice and a
therapy, a way to move deeply
into your psyche through the use
of a simple technique. It expands
expressive capabilities and helps
break through writing blocks.
Cost is $45 for non-members,
$40 for members. Location to be
announced.
On April 28, it’s ‘Ready, Set,
Byline’ with Gabrielle Bauer
who contributes regularly to
‘Chatelaine,’ ‘Canadian Living,’
and ‘Reader’s Digest,’ among
others. Ms. Bauer will walk you
through the steps to success,
covering the areas of creating a
market niche, developing a
saleable story idea and pitching
