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 Whites Road and Sheppard Av- 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., police said. The two accused, whose ages were not available, were turned over to Toronto’s 42 Divi- sion officers and charged with various weapons offences.

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.’ JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Swim like a butterfly Timothy Mak of the Ajax Aquatic Club flies through the water while competing in the butterfly event in the boys’ 11 and 12 age group.

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 DAN McTEAGUE ‘The money, I believe, is more than well spent.’ 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- See NUCLEAR page A4 See LIBRARY page A4 JOHN MUTTON ROGER ANDERSON See STUDIES page A4 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer 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.

Drunk driver jailed in cyclist’s death Australian man killed instantly after being thrown 55 metres Call alerts cops to pot plants A phantom 911 call led Durham Regional Police to $331,000 worth of hydroponics- grown marijuana in barns near the Pickering- Markham border. Fire, police and ambulance were sent to a property on Side- line 30 after re- ceiving a 911 call with no voice contact at about 9:10 p.m. Friday. When emergency crews arrived they found the residence was un- locked and empty. Members of the drug squad were called after officers searched a pair of barns on the property and discovered a large number of pot plants and grow- ing equipment, police said. Two firearms were also seized. Police said a dead battery in a cordless phone could send out an inadvertent 911 call. Norman Col- lier, 58, of that address, has been charged with pos- session of a con- trolled substance for the purpose of trafficking, pro- duction of a con- trolled substance and careless stor- age of firearms.Locations In: • Orillia • Peterborough • Cambridge • Waterloo • Oakville • Keswick • Sarnia • London • Hamilton • Toronto • Ingersoll • Bolton • Windsor • Belleville • Smith Falls • Stratford • Trenton • Brockville • Barrie NOW 89 LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA INCLUDING: LIQUIDATOR OF BRAND NAME MERCHANDISE FROM BANKRUPTCIES, INSURANCE CLAIMS, RECEIVERSHIPS & OTHER DISTRESS SITUATIONS PILLOWCASES STANDARD SIZE.................399 QUEEN OR KING SIZE ......599 PILLOW SHAMS ...........599 COMPARE UP TO 20.00 Each Each Each HIGH QUALITY BEDDING ORIGINALLY DESTINED FOR MAJOR U.S. DEPARTMENT STORES!

We’ve brought it to Canada and now it’s available for you! ATTENTION ALL ONTARIO RESIDENTS! STARTS TODAY! BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer 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.

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”.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer 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. Bill Douglas Pickering fire chief 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.

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.” OPERATIONS & EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Feb. 26 Executive Committee Meeting Mar. 5 City Council Meeting Mar. 19 Executive/City Council Meeting Mar. 21 Committee of Adjustment Mar. 22 Statutory Information Meeting Mar. 26 Executive Committee Meeting 24 Hour Access 420-4660 cityofpickering.com420-2222 Call now for new fitness programs to suit your needs and budget 683-6582 All Rec Complex memberships for Health, Fitness, Swim, Racquet, Sports and More. 683-6582 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL For more information on meeting times, locations or committee details please call 905-420-2222 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.

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? ❑ ❑ ❑ Energy tip:When using your comput- er, keep printer off until ready for use.

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.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, February 28, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER feb. 28, 2001 Area athletes make fast tracks to medals in U.S. 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. KRISSY LIPHARDT Two gold medals with Purdue University Boilermakers. PERDITA FELICIEN Edged for gold in 60-metre hurdles in record time.

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.

Bantam Panthers claw Peterborough in second round of Lakeshore playoffs Pickering hopes to be belles of provincial ringette ball News tip? Call 683-5110 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.
