The Province called back on Tuesday asking that the regional chairman attend instead.

Convicted killer on day parole makes dash for freedom By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING – A convicted killer who eluded a police manhunt in Pickering for three hours Tuesday night was being escorted back to prison in Kingston by a volunteer when he made his dash for free- dom, an assistant warden said. James Lionel Renaud, 53, was nabbed by a plainclothes Dur- ham Regional Police officer as he walked through a parking lot in the area of Brock Road and Hwy. 401, about three hours after he slipped away from the car he and his civilian escort had been travel- ling in. While he was at large, the in- mate from Frontenac Institution, a minimum-security prison in Kingston, was target of a manhunt that included the police helicop- ter, canine units and officers from Ajax-Pickering Community Police. Mr. Renaud, who’s been incar- cerated since being convicted of second-degree murder in 1987, was being accompanied on a day pass from jail by a volunteer with the Lifeline organization, said Chris Stafford, assistant warden of management services at Fronte- nac Institution. The two were returning to Kings- ton from Welland, where Mr. Ren- aud had visited family, when the convict made a break for freedom around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. The vol- unteer had stopped to get gas at Brock and Kingston roads when the unrestrained prisoner took off, Durham Regional Police said. The escape attempt came as a surprise to prison officials, who had previously allowed Mr. Ren- aud numerous day passes in prep- aration for his eventual release on parole, Mr. Stafford said. “He had been out on many ab- sences before ... more than 30,” Mr. Stafford said. Day parole is a privilege earned by prisoners over time, Mr. Staf- ford said. As they show they can be trusted, convicts can move to in- stitutions featuring lower levels of security and eventually qualify for absences from custody, he said. Mr. Stafford said it’s “very, very rare” for an inmate such as Mr. Renaud, who had earned such privileges and was nearing release on parole, to bolt the way he did. Mr. Renaud has been charged with escaping lawful custody. He is likely to be transferred from Frontenac to a prison with a high- er level of security as a result of the escape attempt, Mr. Stafford said. Mr. Stafford said that, despite the incident in Pickering, he doesn’t expect corrections officials to review policies on day parole or absences with civilian escorts. “It’s such an anomaly you wouldn’t do that,” he said. “It shouldn’t affect the way we do business.” Mr. Stafford said volunteers with groups such as Lifeline, which pro- vide support for inmates serving life sentences, undergo training before escorting prisoners. “They have to keep the person within sight and sound,” he said. Mr. Renaud is serving a life sen- tence for the second-degree mur- der of a youth in North Bay, police said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P OVER 60 retail locations at Pickering Town Centre are hiring new employees • Full-time • Part-time • Seasonal Need help in preparing for an interview or how to look for a job, or just need resume tips?

In doing so, trustees adhered to education minister Gerard Kennedy’s re- quest that boards not close any schools until after September of this year. At the time, the minister said he was reviewing provincial guidelines “to help boards make the best possible school closure and building planning decisions.” The Durham board would have included school closures in Phase 1 if not for the min- ister’s request, since under the current funding formula it would have generated more funds. However, Mr. Kennedy has criticized that rationale for closing a school, and while the moratorium is over, the board is still waiting for the Province to make a number of announce- ments related to the capital funding of both new schools and existing ones that require major upgrades. But trustees have opted to proceed with the building plan so they can hit the ground running following the announcements. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said it might be spring be- fore trustees approve Phase 2. Residents who want to make a presentation to trustees at the 7 to 10 p.m. public meeting must register by noon on Oct. 15 in order to be considered. A board press release states pre- sentations will be limited to 10 minutes each and that “based on the number of requests re- ceived, it may be necessary to limit presentations to one per school community.” To get on the speakers’ list, call trustees’ secretary Kim Cox at 905-666-6363, or e-mail cox_ kim@durham.edu.on.ca.

NEWS ADVERTISER EQAO introduces changes to standardized tests By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – The amount of time Durham students spend writing provincial tests is being chopped in half. The Province’s standard- ized tester, the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), on Thurs- day announced a number of changes to how it ad- ministers the tests to create assessments that are “less burdensome on children and are easier for schools to administer.” Created by the former Conservative government, the EQAO began testing Ontario pupils in 1996. Grade 3, 6 and 9 students are assessed each year, and the results are reported to schools and the public on a Level 1 to 4 scale. The pro- vincial standard is a Level 3, which equates to a ‘B,’ or 70 to 79 per cent. EQAO’s Grade 10 literacy test is a pass or fail, and students must pass it or a parallel literacy course in order to graduate from high school. Grade 3 and 6 students will now spend six instead of 12 hours on the reading, writing and math assess- ment, the Grade 9 math test will take two hours instead of roughly three, and the Grade 10 literacy test will be shortened from five hours to two-and-a-half. “Shortening the tests for the little ones is a good idea,” says Luigia Ayotte, programs superintendent at the Durham District School Board. “It’s going to make it easier on the kids, less stressful.” She doesn’t believe short- er tests will mean higher scores, however. “I think you’re going to get the same results whether it’s two days or three days,” she said. “Instead of five or 10 questions to test certain ex- pectations, it may only be two or three questions. Kids know it or they don’t know it.” EQAO says the Grade 10 test results will now be re- ported as one literacy score instead of separate reading and writing marks. That raised a few questions for Ms. Ayotte, who wondered if each section would be scored out of 50 to arrive at one mark and thus deter- mine a pass or fail. V ictoria Hemming, EQAO’s chief assessment officer, explained that as in the past, the reading and writing portions would be weighted the same, just re- ported as one mark. She noted another change will result in more detailed information being sent to school boards. Currently, a student’s score is reported as a Level 1 to 4. “What they will see now is where a student falls within the level,” Ms. Hemming ex- plains. For the Grade 3 and 6 assessment, boards will be permitted to administer it a little later in the year, into the first week of June. And the results will come back to boards faster, by late Au- gust for the Grade 3, 6 and 9 assessments. Quicker feedback was a recommen- dation of the ex- ternal EQAO re- view conducted by the Ontario Institute for Stud- ies in Education. Its report, deliv- ered earlier this year, cited “seri- ous concerns in the field about whether or not the assessment results are available when schools need them for planning.” Rhonda Kimberley- Yo ung, president of the Ontario Secondary School Te achers’ Federation, in a press release said the changes don’t address the fundamental problem with the assessments. “These changes will mean that these intrusive tests will not disrupt the learn- ing of students to the same degree as they have until now, but simply making the tests shorter and changing how the results are reported does not mean that the test- ing is (in) any way a valid measure of student achieve- ment,” she said. “I think large-scale as- sessments provide one source of very valuable data that schools, boards and communities can utilize,” said Ms. Hemming, noting it’s important both in terms of accountability and im- provement planning. “Data is important. Data is valu- able because it creates dia- logue among educators.” The Liberal government vowed during the last pro- vincial election campaign that by the end of its man- date in 2007, 75 per cent of students would be achiev- ing the provincial standard on the tests. It’s a tall order, since on the Grade 3 test, for example, 50 per cent of stu- dents achieved the standard in reading on the 2002/03 test, 55 per cent achieved a Level 3 or better in writing and 57 per cent got a ‘B’ or better in math.

NEWS ADVERTISER EDITORIALS & OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER ✦ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2004 EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Make your choice the right one Get to know your candidates before voting Nov. 8 It began early and never really let up. While Terry James was the first off the mark to sign on as a candidate for the Monday, Nov. 8 byelection for the Ward 2 City councillor’s position, it took only a mere five hours until Brian Evely made it a two-man race. They were soon joined by Eileen Higdon, Paul Crawford, Joe Brown, Serge Gizzo, Doug Dickerson, and Pat Mattson, setting up an eight-way free-for-all. The hopefuls are shooting to replace Bill McLean, who moved to the regional councillor’s seat after third-term Ward 2 representative Mark Holland was elected as the member of Parliament for Ajax-Pickering Riding. Wa rd 2 residents have a wide selection from which to choose when they head to the polls. The group includes former City councillors, a school board trustee, and other candidates with hours upon hours of community service. A deep field, such as the one here, is the only way to ensure democracy is truly served. While we would have liked a vis- ible minority candidate to reflect our truly multicultural com- munity, the fact one woman put her name forward is a step in the right direction. As the News Advertiser found in a recent four-part series, historically women and visible minorities haven’t even run for elected office, never mind having won. The candidates have done their parts, now it’s the resi- dents’ turn. In the coming weeks, do your homework. It’s incumbent upon all Ward 2 voters to meet the candidates, get to know their issues, and where they stand on hot topics. In the age of technology, there’s really no excuse for not reading up. From phone calls, to websites, and campaign lit- erature, put your issues to the candidates. In addition, attend all candidates’ meetings. Watch how the hopefuls handle the spotlight of a debate, how they think on their feet, and how they treat opponents who may not share their opinion. Truth be told, these debates really serve as a trial run for the council table, where we expect representatives to ask the tough ques- tions and swim against the current, if it’s the right thing for residents. Ta ke the offensive this election. It’s in your own best inter- est. Give to the hospital till it hurts To the editor: Re: ‘Multi-million dollar deficit for Rouge Valley’, Sept. 26. This story truly freaked me right out. I am truly worried for my young adult children and the next generations. Some- thing must be done now. I have a proposal. We, the baby boomers and our children, have enjoyed the highest prosperity ever allowed to the middle class. We are the most spoiled generation and the most demanding on the health-care system. And there’s more to come. The time is here and now to pay for our extravagance. Hence the municipalities should mandate a health levy of seven per cent on the sale price of all residential and com- mercial buildings and land sales (resales of properties) which would be directly applied to our Rouge Valley Health System. I support a levy. T.M.

Little learned from land swap deal T he announcement the people of Pickering had been waiting to hear for oh so many years finally happened last week and it didn’t tell them much. The Province finally announced it had reached a deal with developers to swap provincially-owned land in Seaton for developer-owned land on the environ- mentally-sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill. The only real piece of news in the announcement was how much land is being exchanged - 1,275 acres in Seaton for 1,057 acres in Richmond Hill. It put the public no further ahead when it comes to knowing which parcels of land are being exchanged and ultimately where development is going to take place. Bryan Kozman, director of the North Pickering Land Exchange, said the where details are not going to be released until the environmental assessment currently being conducted by the Ontario Realty Corporation is complete. Meanwhile the Ministry of Municipal Affairs is in the midst of a development plan for Seaton. So the government doesn’t yet know the extent of how environmentally sen- sitive the area is or what effect different kinds of development would have on the land, yet it is moving forward with a development plan and it has guaran- teed a specific amount of land to devel- opers. I am not a planning expert - in fact I’ll admit my level of knowledge is just a wee bit above that of the average person - but it appears as though the provincial government is moving a little too swiftly to get this land developed. Ye s, it is true the City of Pickering has all but run out of room to grow and yes, it is also true the area has been slated for development for decades. But what is also true is this area has sat in limbo for 30 years since the gov- ernment expropriated the land. Wait- ing an extra month or even a year be- fore making decisions that are going to change the face of those lands forever sounds like a good idea. The government needs to slow down and do one thing at a time before it makes a decision that can’t be reversed. Don’t leave the woodlots, farmland, cold water streams and aquifers of Seaton destroyed in the wake of urban sprawl, just for the sake of more cookie cutter houses.

Announcement a letdown Danielle Milley staff writer P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 durhamregion.com But concern over service information, employer letters By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – A survey of more than half of Durham residents quarantined dur- ing last year’s SARS outbreak shows that 78 per cent of them were happy with the help from the Region, but some improvements could be made. The health de- partment sent surveys to 1,950 residents 18 and older who were quarantined during both Severe Acute Respira- tory Syndrome (SARS) out- breaks in January and April of 2003. Of those, 1,057 responded to the mailed questionnaire. Overall, 84.7 per cent of residents said that the health department addressed their concerns during the out- breaks. “O verall, in terms of pro- viding support to the commu- nity, I think we’re pleased,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associ- ate medical officer of health. Every- one in Durham’s health department — from nurses to inspectors to nutritionists — helped keep in daily contact with quarantined residents, Dr. Reynolds said. Because the health department had to monitor the symptoms of residents in quarantine and protect other family mem- bers, masks and thermome- ters were delivered to them. Seventy-eight per cent said they got them in a timely manner. But there was less satis- faction surrounding services such as providing letters to employers explaining why they were in quarantine. Only 58 per cent of respon- dents said they received one in a timely manner. Dr. Reynolds said this was an unanticipated result of quarantine. People said they needed the letters to continue getting paid and, for some, to keep their jobs, Dr. Reynolds said. Residents were also not as happy about information they received about family counselling, grocery deliv- ery and income support, the survey showed. Only 54 per cent were satisfied. These were both examples of the department having to step out of its public health boundaries to help in unex- pected ways, Dr. Reynolds said. There were no agen- cies to help with grocery de- livery, for example. It was sometimes hard for the department to keep up, especially during high-vol- ume quarantine times, she added. “We had to go beyond public health control mea- sures to help in a humanitar- ian way...to help (residents) adhere to quarantine,” Dr. Reynolds said. The department is in the middle of analyzing data on the impact of SARS, and Dr. Reynolds said this will help staff with lessons learned from the two outbreaks.

Mr. Sanford, who has worked with the City surrounding Na- tive issues in Seaton, made a presentation at the Sept. 27 executive committee meeting following the land swap an- nouncement made by the prov- ince Sept. 23. “You all took a great chance and you all believed what I was telling you and all the times that we discussed plans the federal and provincial government should have been here,” he said. “The provincial government is coming in here and telling you what to do with your com- munity,” he said. “I’m hoping that somehow we can stand to- gether and fight this. I’ll be here if you’ll be here.” Mr. Sanford has given input to the City’s planners and con- sultants during its growth man- agement study to ensure envi- ronmentally sensitive and na- tive heritage land is protected in the City’s development plan. He said he has not been con- sulted by those currently com- pleting a development plan for the province. Pickering has an ally in Seaton fight Raised money to help Peterborough CLAREMONT – The Clare- mont Legion celebrated Legion We ek and raised money for a good cause recently. The legion held a dance to mark the week, which focuses on recalling and honouring Ca- nadian military contributions in the world wars and other conflicts. At the recent celebration, le- gion officials presented a $500 donation to Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson for the Peterborough Disaster Fund. The donation was made to help Peterborough residents who are still recovering from the damaging flood they expe- rienced this past summer. Legion remembers those in need day afternoon that an announcement about the north Pickering Seaton lands would be made that week, while Pick- ering Mayor Dave Ryan and the local councillors found out by TV reports and phone calls from reporters late Thursday afternoon. The chairman said he did tell Mayor Ryan that he met with the Province. “The Province didn’t tell me what day they were going to make the an- nouncement,” Mr. Anderson said in an interview Thursday. “What they told us was that they completed the land swap. “Whether the Province wants to make the announcement or not...I didn’t see any information that needed to be sent out to the City of Pickering.” The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced details of the long-standing land swap deal, which will see 1,057 acres of devel- oper-owned land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill exchanged for 1,275 acres of provincially-owned Seaton lands. The deal also says two-thirds of the Seaton lands will remain in provincial hands to protect it as a natural heritage system and keep it free from develop- ment. The public has been waiting for the details since 2001, when the deal was struck under the Conservative govern- ment to stop the building of homes on the environmentally sensitive mo- raine. Coun. Johnson heard the news on a 24-hour cable station, while Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said at council he was told by a re- porter calling for reaction. “I wasn’t aware of Durham Region being briefed two days in advance and it just increased my frustration,” Coun. Brenner said in an interview. “We like to think we are a very, very important part of Durham Region and that we work closely with (them) and it’s very frustrating. “It’s even worse when you com- pound it literally by being left in the dark.” While Coun. Johnson was surprised at not hearing from Mr. Anderson, he was less blown away by not hearing the news directly from the Province. “The bureaucrats, the Province have no respect for the lower tier municipal- ity or the politicians,” he said. “This is the way the Prov- ince has done things for years.” Mr. An- derson said at council that the Region has re- peatedly told the Province that they have to deal with Durham on the Seaton issue. “It isn’t going to happen without true dia- logue,” he said. “We suggested to them (at the meeting Tuesday) that’s nice, you can do what you want...just don’t build any toilets or sinks...because you can’t flush” water in Durham without talking to us about water and sewer. The Province said last week the value of the deal would not be released until a pending land swap deal with developers over a portion of the mo- raine in Uxbridge was complete. There was speculation at council Wednesday that developer Joey Tanenbaum would retain ownership of the lands. The Ministry is holding a pub- lic meeting to discuss the plan for Seaton and details of the agreement on Wednesday, Oct. 6 at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley Farm Rd, from 7 to 10 p.m. -w ith files from TorStar News Service durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 PAGE 9 P SATURDAYS ONLY $2495 +TAX Large Salad (Greek) 4 Chicken Souvlaki Sticks & 4 Tzatziki Cups 2 Garlic Breads Jumbo Fries & Large Gravy 4 Cans of Pop expires Oct.31/04 2 CAN DINE for $899 +TAX 2 4oz Burgers 2 Reg.Fries 2 Cans of Pop expires Oct.31/04.Pick-up only. 2 CAN DINE for $1099 +TAX 2 6oz Burgers 2 Reg.Fries 2 Cans of Pop expires Oct.31/04.Pick-up only. .50¢ OFF the regular price of any Burger Combo.

As part of its Thanksgiving food drive the church is holding a family fun event from 2 to 4 p.m. Those who come for the entertainment, games and activities are asked to bring a food donation. Organizers are hoping to get enough food to fill a hay wagon. Activities include bobbing for ap- ples, face painting, and children can learn how to weave on a loom or make a decorative painting project. All ac- tivities are free. There is also going to be a craft sale and refreshment table with proceeds going to cover the cost of the event. All food donations and money raised go to the St. Paul’s-on-the-Hill food bank in Pickering, which supports those in need in Pickering and Ajax. As well, there is going to be a rummage sale with proceeds for the food bank.

Plenty of fun on tap at museum Fall festival takes place Sunday By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – The Pickering Mu- seum Village is celebrating fall with some old-fashioned fun and games Sunday. The Fall Family Festival takes place Oct. 3 from noon to 4:30 p.m. at the museum with games, activities and entertainment. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s a relaxing kind of old-fashioned fun. A lot of people surprise themselves at how much fun they have,” said Pat Dunnill, chair- man of the Pickering Museum Village Foundation. He and the rest of the board have been busy getting everything orga- nized for the event, a fundraiser for the foundation. “It’s a heck of a lot of work,” he said. “I don’t know how many hours I have spent on it.” The festival features pumpkin carv- ing, horseshoes, a golf putting contest, several children’s games and of course the PentathaFUN. The PentathaFUN features teams from local businesses battling it out for prizes and glory. “They compete against each other in old-time things such as three- legged race, wheelbarrow race and tug of war,” he said. It is one of the more popular events. “There seems to be so much fun that goes on there it generates a lot of attention,” Mr. Dunnill said. The festival also features music, a raffle and visitors get a chance to see the old steam equipment up and run- ning - it is one of only two days where people can witness this. “It’s really a fun day and a family day because there ends up being some- thing for everyone,” Mr. Dunnill said. Admission and parking is free; some activities have a small cost. There is also going to be plenty of food avail- able. The Pickering Museum Village is located just off Hwy. 7 between Brock and Westney roads.

Volunteers with drive needed durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 PAGE 15 A/P FUNERAL INDUSTRY WORKS TO MEET NEW MAKEUP OF CHANGING COMMUNITIES By Tony Doyle Managing Editor This is the eighth in a series of stories exploring the ever-evolving and expanding multicultural makeup of Durham Region. DURHAM – A final send-off and resting place after a lifetime of living. For many residents in Durham it’s a given. We die, our families arrange a service, pick a casket, welcome mourners paying their respects and lay us in the ground. Bing, bang, a nice tidy package. But, as a greater community, it seems there’s some learning still to be done. Over the past decade, Durham has watched its cultural makeup explode. In Pickering and Ajax alone, approximately 25 per cent of the population is made up of visible minorities. We welcome varied backgrounds, faiths, cus- toms and religions to our communities. Yet, when it comes to that final dignity, ensuring one’s laid to rest in proper fashion, according to strict customs and beliefs, it’s not always so simple for our new neighbours. Many find their needs just can’t be fully met here in Durham, often turning to Scar- borough and other centres for support. That solution, however, comes up short when you live, work and play here. Many people want to lay at rest in the community they called home. For their grieving families, without services nearby, that means visita- tion, service and trips to final resting places can make for more travelling than desired. When Kalyani Sathiananthan’s husband passed away more than two years ago, she looked locally for services. While the Ajax woman found almost everything she needed, stressing the local funeral centre offered ex- cellent service in going out of its way to meet her family’s needs, it didn’t have a cremato- rium. The home did help arrange for one in Scarborough. “In this line of business (the industry) re- ally should look into (meeting all needs) be- cause I don’t think people would like to drive so far away,” she said, adding, “If a person lived here, they want to have last rites here also.” It’s a similar story for Muttukumaru Chan- drakumaran. The president of the Durham Tamil Association recalls very few of the group’s families finding what they needed in the region. “Only one or two funerals in our com- munity took place in Durham,” said the Ajax man. “Mostly they go to Scarborough be- cause there is no services here.” Still Ms. Sathiananthan believes more and more centres are starting to realize they must adapt to meet their changing communities. “I think now they’re kind of recognizing the fact they need to cater more to these sectors, the awareness is more,” said Ms. Sathianan- than. “The awareness and the population makes a big difference, they have recognized also at the end of the day the dollars and cents, which are going to another region.” Mr. Chandrakumaran admits part of the problem is educating and making more peo- ple and businesses aware of different needs. He would like to see funeral centres take the approach that they have to have services available for all community residents. “In most of Durham, the people are not used to our customs,” he said. “Any funeral or wedding, our customs have lamps set up. We do the service and it gives off smoke. I don’t think most of the funeral homes are used to that.” For its part, the funeral industry stresses it is aware of the changing face of the com- munity and is doing its best to meet the ever increasing needs. Paul Carter is manager of the Simple Al- ternative Funeral Centre in Pickering, a divi- sion of the Mount Pleasant Group, which has other funeral centres in North York and Mississauga. It took over in Pickering in 2001 from a family operation. Among it services, Simple Alternative offers burial, cremation, caskets, urns, visitation rooms, a family centre and 120-seat chapel. Burial plots are available up the road. Mr. Carter, who has 25 years experience in the business, says Simple Alternative aims to meet whatever needs come its way. “We’re very flexible in our day-to-day deal- ings,” he said. “We allow the families to tell us what they want. You have those little trigger words. You become a very good listener. He added that also means trying to think beyond the norm. “I recall one family requested the casket be set up at home during the day and evening,” he said. “They didn’t want anyone from the funeral home present. The biggest challenge we had was making sure they understood what requirements we would need.” Such requests, he said, have to factor in such variables as meeting the physical de- mands of first getting a casket through the door, and then finding a room big enough to display it. “You will normally find that people of vis- ible minorities are actually pretty traditional with their funeral services,” said Mr. Carter. “They are very traditional, always attended by many mourners, there’s an outpouring of grief.” Mount Pleasant has strategic plans and teams in place to identify future trends, he notes, adding the centre carries out a number of Hindu services. Provincewide the trend is similar. Think- ing beyond what had become ‘traditional’ for funeral services is very much happening, says Michael Fitzgerald, past-president of the Ontario Funeral Services Association and its approximately 450 members. The volunteer membership, non-profit group is governed by a board of directors. “Certainly we have multicultural literature and seminars put on for members. Brochures and materials can be put in funeral homes, not necessarily for themselves, but for the community attending the service,” he said. “They help people know what to do, what to say, what to wear, do you donate to char- ity?” This is particularly important now as the workforce and communities increasingly di- versify, he says, meaning one’s just as likely to find themselves at a Catholic service as they are at a Jewish, Hindu or Muslim memorial. The literature available at centres also in- cludes Christian services, he notes, pointing out that for many immigrants, it’s their first introduction to the faith. As for the future, success may lie with our students. “We’re looking at not only an increasing diversity in the population around the GTA, but we’re finally seeing diversity in our stu- dents themselves,” says Jeff Caldwell, a pro- fessor at Humber College in Etobicoke. “For a long time it was a program white males went into.” Currently the first year of studies in the funeral service education program revolves around full-time academics. The second year is tied to internships. Approximately 135 stu- dents begin tackling studies each fall, with Mr. Caldwell and three other full-time in- structors all licensed funeral directors. The plan long term is to lengthen the pro- gram, with a separate course looking at the different religions and cultures that are so much the reality today. Still, Mr. Caldwell notes the college is al- ready well aware of the changing dynamics and regularly tries to make that part of cur- rent studies. “A s an assignment, students must go out in the community and find three different cultures, be that different religions or even something as diverse as Aboriginals,” he said. “We then have the students go out and ap- proach the leaders of that faith and explain what they are doing and do an interview and find out more about the culture or faith and then write a paper.” For many students it’s an eye-opening ex- perience. But it’s all part of changing the long-term approach. “We’re trying to open the minds of stu- dents,” he said. “Some are from small-town Ontario where diversity may not be as preva- lent.” No longer open and shut Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo As the Ajax and Pickering communities continue to diversify, so to does the need for increasingly varied services. In the case of funeral centres, that can mean adapting to different services or requests than in the past. Paul Carter, manager of the Simple Alternative Funeral Centre in Pickering, says listening to a family’s needs and responding is key. Here at Duffins Meadow Cemetery, a section was specifically designed to meet the needs of the Chinese community, including the Gates of Heaven monument.

Students of both schools watched and listened Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. as their steady source of on-campus entertain- ment and information was launched on the world wide web for all to share. Students on the road, away and abroad will be able to share in the warmth of the familiar voices of the FreQ. The launch is intended to ensure all students are informed of events and activities regardless of their proximity to the schools. Many of the on-air personalities are entertainment administration stu- dents, although others are volunteers from other programs. Students from marketing, advertising, journalism, criminal justice and computer pro- gramming to name a few, also make their voices heard.

The FreQ takes students global ‘Positive’ assessment released by IMO DURHAM – The next 18 months look bright for Ontario’s electricity system. The Independent Electricity Market Operator (IMO) has re- leased its latest 18-month assess- ment, saying it “remains positive.” The IMO is responsible for managing the province’s bulk electricity system and operating the wholesale electricity market. The 18-month assessments are re- leased quarterly. In the past quarter, two gas-fired projects, providing 612 megawatts of power, have completed com- missioning, while the return of Unit 1 at the Pickering nuclear station was announced. This work will be completed by the fall of 2005 and provide 515 mw of power. In April of next year, the coal- fired Lakeview Generating Station will shut down, taking 1,150 mw out of commission. Measures are being put in place to handle the lost power, the IMO reports. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 PAGE 17 A/P If you don’t receive “Service Worth Paying For” or have any questions or delivery concerns please call The News Advertiser at: 905-683-5117 CARRIERS COLLECT EVERY THREE WEEKS SERVICE WORTH PAYING FOR 100% is kept by the carrier as payment for their delivery.

Provincial electricity system to power on over 18 months Team to participate in Toronto’s CIBC Run for the Cure By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – Some little people with big hearts are helping out with a good cause this weekend. Seven children from Giselle Sicchia’s day care decided they wanted to par- ticipate in the CIBC Run/Walk for the Cure and raise money for breast cancer research after hearing Ms. Sicchia was going to be participating. “They thought it was neat,” she said. Ms. Sicchia was surprised when the children told her they wanted to make their own team. “I was actually very surprised and very proud. I told them it was a lovely idea but when I told them they needed to do some fundraising or pay the $30 registration fee I thought it would make them change their mind,” she said. It didn’t and the team of five- to eight-year-olds (made up of Christine Toth, Jessica Walker, Brittany and Evan Heaslip, and James, Morgan and Megan Dunlop) has raised $450. The three children who took the lead with the idea wanted to participate be- cause their grandmother died of breast cancer last year; two of the other chil- dren are Ms. Sicchia’s. She said children are excited about the event and excited about wearing the matching team T-shirts she made for them The run takes place Oct. 3 in To- ronto. Ms. Sicchia had planned to do the five-kilometre walk, but when the chil- dren decided to participate she thought it would be best to do the one-kilometre route, but the kids have different plans. “They all said they’re going to try and do the five kilometre with me,” she said. “But we’re bringing the wagon just in case.” A/P PAGE 18 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 durhamregion.com Whitby Minor Baseball Association Announcement 2005 Rep Tryouts Schedule FF or a d d i t i o n a l i n f or m a t i o n p l e a s e v i s i t o u r w e b s i t e a t w w w .w h i t b y m i n o r b a s e b a l l .c o m 2 0 0 5 M i n o r M i d g e t R E P t r y o u t s f o r p l a y e r s b o r n i n 1 9 8 9 w i l l t a k e p l a c e S a t u r d a y O c t o b e r 2 n d , 1 :0 0 p m S u n d a y O c t o b e r 3 r d , 6 :0 0 p m a t Por t a g e .

Spent fuel will continue to be stored on-site until Province decides fate of waste By Shelley Jordan Staff Writer DURHAM – Ontario Power Generation has the OK to begin work on a temporary dry storage facility at its Darlington site. Licensing for the units came in August and covers construction only. Jacquie McInnes, communi- cations officer for OPG said that, for safety reasons, the project is licensed for each phase individu- ally to ensure the system meets the requirements necessary for safe storage of spent nuclear fuel. Currently, waste is stored on- site in a water tank that is about the size of an Olympic swimming pool. Ms. McInnes said under- water storage is necessary for a minimum of 10 years, to give the material time to cool down, and for radiation levels to drop. The tanks currently hold all the waste produced by the plant since it opened 15 years ago, but the wet bay is expected to be full by 2010, said Ms. McInnes. “A pproval of the application will give us ample time to construct the facility and have it operational prior to our needing it,” she said. The dry storage units will be con- structed of concrete and steel and are engineered for 50 years of life, until the long-term management system is in place. Ms. McInnes emphasized the system is safe. “They are r einforced (with) 20- inch-thick concrete walls that have inner and outer linings of heavy-gauge steel. After they’re loaded, each container is vacuum sealed and the lid is welded on.” Similar facilities already exist at the Bruce and Pickering nuclear plants, and by the time the wet bays at Darlington are full, much of the waste will have been sub- merged for 20 years. Ms. McInnes said the lid and wall create a barrier against radia- tion, and the whole unit is engi- neered to withstand a 6.5 mag- nitude earthquake. The units are then protected within buildings that are also earthquake resistant. “The point is to have this in ser- vice by 2007, even though we don’t need it until 2010,” said Ms. McInnes. She pointed out the temporary dry storage plan should not be confused with the federal initia- tive to find long-term storage for spent fuel. At recent meetings held by Nuclear Waste Manage- ment Organization across 12 Ca- nadian cities, a survey of values the public would like applied to the long-term storage of nuclear fuel was collected to be included in a report to the federal govern- ment. The three options currently being considered for long-term storage include storing on site at nuclear facilities, deep geological burial, and use of a central dis- posal depot. OPG receives a licence for dry storage facility A/P PAGE 20 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 1, 2004 durhamregion.com We’re your friends in the furniture business, Luke, Dave, Steve, Randy, Jennifer, Craig, Kendra, Paula, Donna & Bradley.

Why not invest in a pair of Clark's Shoes with special Arch Support MADE FOR WALKING Ready to take on the Liberals DURHAM – Jim Flaherty, MPP for Whitby-Ajax, has been appointed finance critic for Ontario’s Official Opposition last Tuesday by new Progressive Conserva- tive party leader John Tory. “I look forward to the challenges of my new re- sponsibilities and holding the government to account,” Mr. Flaherty said upon des- ignation of his new position within the PC party. Mr. Flaherty said the Ontario Liberals under the leadership of Premier Dal- ton McGuinty have “broken faith” with Ontario resi- dents by increasing taxes, user fees and adding $12 billion to the province’s debt by 2007. Despite Pre- mier McGuinty’s promise during the last Provincial election that he would not raise taxes, Mr. Flaherty said Ontarians will now pay $1.6 billion more in personal in- come tax through the Lib- eral’s newly implemented Ontario Health Tax. “Dalton McGuinty prom- ised to hold the line on taxes and he broke that promise,” Mr. Flaherty said. “He also promised to balance the budget and not to raise the public debt — two more fundamental promises to the people of Ontario that have been broken.” On Sept. 18, Mr. Flaherty lost his second bid in last three years to become lead- er of the Ontario PC party to Mr. Tory on a second ballot. Nevertheless, Mr. Flaherty indicated that he will con- tinue to stay on and serve his constituency in the Whitby-Ajax area.

The candidate for the Ward 2 City seat in the Nov. 8 byelec- tion is a financial consultant with eight years experience in the industry. “I would like Pickering to continue to be represented as an urban centre with rural flair,” he said. “I want to see Pickering be host to many choice film industries and art fest events. As an appointed official, I will assure the diversity of Picker- ing, its talents and cornerstone monuments continue to be de- picted.” Mr. Gizzo would like to see more businesses and key indus- tries call Pickering home, wants to see responsible growth, promises to work closely with the City’s planning department, and is calling for the preserva- tion of conservation lands such as Duffins and Petticoat creeks. In addition, he’d like to see taxes re-examined for “over- spending” and a re-examinina- tion of the collection process. Under his plan, he hopes to lower current municipal taxes paid in Ward 2 by having busi- nesses with more than 1,000 employees agree to pick up the cost variance. “This would be a voluntary participation by the corpora- tion and not a mandatory one,” he said. “The incentives of op- erating a business in Ward 2 of Pickering will far outweight the value of having to pay moderate additional taxes. The corpora- tion can appreciate additional tax write-offs for the business, whereby the homeonwer can- not.” Gizzo wants to see community grow Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo Serge Gizzo is calling for a new tax structure to benefit Ward 2 residents. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo A registered nurse, Eillen Higdon is concerned with the need for doctors in Pickering. PICKERING – An issue of concern nationally, provincially and locally has brought Eileen Higdon back to the political scene. Ms. Higdon, a registered nurse, is returning to political activism as a candidate in the Pickering Ward 2 byelection be- cause of the doctor shortage. One of her immediate concerns is the need for Pickering to be designated as under-serviced, which she says would bring more physicians to the city. She also believes new mod- els of primary care, being de- veloped at the provincial level, must be examined by local council members in order to apply them to Pickering’s needs. In addition to her concerns in the health sector, Ms. Higdon also sees two local problems as her main concerns. One is the design and place- ment of sirens in the area around the Pickering nuclear station. She believes the topic needs more community input and discussion. The other issue is the decreas- ing of parking at the foot of Liv- erpool Road where new housing development is encroaching on parking for the area. Ms. Higdon has lived in Pick- ering since 1979 and served as the Ward 2 city councillor 10 years ago. During her time on council, she says she worked hard on the waterfront - leading the fight for the acquisition of the Sandbury lands for parkland on the east shore of French- man’s Bay. She also founded the Frenchman’s Bay Festival and was the chairwoman for more than 10 years. Doctor shortage worries Higdon Watch for us Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for all your local news.

Rated PG Based in the beauty of Austra- lia’s Great Barrier Reef, this ani- mated mob comedy stars Oscar in a watery rut caused by his get- rich-quick schemes, and Leny a vegetarian mob shark who can’t swim in the family business.

It was nearly the upset of the season -- bar none. As it turned out, Telus wasn’t able to beat the powerhouse Torontonians, but the Aeros didn’t do their usual dance on the heads of the Lightning play- ers on this night. Telus held a two-goal lead in the second period of Tuesday’s tilt and appeared to have the visitors on the ropes. But, the Aeros roared back with three consecutive goals in a three-minute span in the sec- ond frame en route to a narrow 5-4 victory over the improving Light- ning squad. It was a moral victory in many ways for the Lightning, who’ve never beaten the Aeros in the six-year history of the Ajax-based franchise. When harking back to a season ago when the Aeros hum- bled Telus 11-0, the Lightning have come a long way. “We’ve never played them as well as we played them last night, as far as my time with the franchise is concerned,” says Telus coach Peter Perram. “Although it is a moral victory, it’s more important to re- inforce that this team is capable of winning games against any team in this league.” After being slow out of the gate in Telus’s season-opening loss to the Oakville Ice last Saturday, the Lightning coaching staff was deter- mined before the game to prevent that from happening again. Their pleas seemed to work as the Light- ning opened the scoring a mere 10 seconds into the contest. “We went into the game with a specific design to not have that happen again,” says Perram. “We challenged the ladies to really come out strong early and they did.” Perram also praised the work of starting goaltender Jennifer Piitz, who was sensational in the cage for Telus. She faced a barrage of 50 shots from the Aeros, making many key saves to keep her team in the hunt. There were no passengers on board the Telus train in this game, as the Telus players played unself- ish, team-oriented hockey to come agonizingly close to knocking off one of the top squads in the seven- team NWHL. “The team really came together. The fact is if we’re going to win we need to do it as a team,” he says, “We don’t have any superstars, we have a team of stars. We didn’t take stupid penalties. In fact, last year we tended to be on the other side. But, this year, we’re much more disciplined.” Perram hopes his club can take that momentum into a pair of weekend games against the Que- bec Avalanche (Saturday) and the Montreal Axion (Sunday) in Mon- treal. Amanda Reid, Tara Dunn, with her second of the season, Megan Friel and Meagan Aarts scored for Telus. Drawing assists were Nikki Leone, Melanie Roach, Trudy Reyns and Dunn.

The Dolphins’ peewees and atoms remained undefeated (7- 0-0) and atop their respective Central Ontario Minor Football League division standings after delivering 31-8 and 41-7 victories, respectively. The tykes also had little trouble with the Bucs, pitch- ing a 45-0 shutout. All three teams travel to Burl- ington to play the Stampeders at Nelson Stadium on Sunday. Injured quarterback Andrew Lim returned to the peewees’ starting lineup and proceeded to generate two touchdown drives in a bal- anced passing and rushing at- tack late in the second quarter and early in the third quarter. The Dolphins started the game with great field position due to a 45-yard kick return by Kyle Goffe which later culminated in a touch- down by fullback Andrew Quitten- ton, which showcased the power of the Dolphins’ offensive line. The next Dolphins touchdown came on a well-engineered 40-yard pass from quarterback Tosh Miller Francis to wide receiver Goffe to increase the lead to 17-0. Ajax- Pickering stymied the York-Simcoe offence late in the second quarter and with 62 seconds remaining in the first half the Dolphins’ offence took over, running and passing ef- ficiently to set up another touch- down by fullback Quittenton to stretch the Dolphin lead to 25-0 at the end of the first half. The Dolphins scored on their first possession of the third quar- ter when Lim scampered six yards into the end zone to extend the Dolphin lead to 31-0. The Young Bucs scored with less than a min- ute remaining in the contest to break the Dolphins’ shutout. In the Dolphins’ atoms rout of the Young Bucs, York-Simcoe got on the scoreboard first, but the Dolphins responded with 41 un- answered points for the win. Running back Tyler Grayer rushed for more than 100 yards, scoring four touchdowns, includ- ing a 65-yard passing reception from quarterback Jonathan Gray. Wide receiver Delino Smith had one reception, but supplied 11 points on converts and one field goal. Another touchdown was contributed by the defence, with Alyx McMillan intercepting a pass and running it back for a touch- down. It was McMillan’s fourth pick of the season. The Dolphins’ tykes improved their league mark to 4-2-1 (fourth in COMFL standings) with the victory. The Dolphins rode quar- terback Alex Horodnyk’s arm to victory. Horodnyk hooked up with wide receiver Michael Stobbart on a 25-yard fade pass for the first touchdown. Early in the second quarter fullback Jackson Harding ran the ball up the middle for 44 yards, scoring the second major to put Ajax-Pickering up 15-0 at half time. Fullback Omar Smith and run- ning back Denver Wright scored on sweep plays in the third quarter to extend the Dolphins’ lead. Tail- back Kevin McGarragle scored the final touchdown.

Throughout the summer campaign, the Pirates won two of three tournaments they entered, capturing champion- ships at events in Barrie and Mississauga. The Pickering Pirates were also consolation champs in Brampton. Last season, the Pickering Pirates minor bantam select team was the recipient of the City of Pickering’s civic award for sports teams. Te am members are Josh Lee, Ian Smook, Kevin Haggarty, Chris Rose, Mark Hoyne, Eric Watson, Tyler Henderson, Jer- emy Lee, Jeff Hannon, Aaron Karamath, Ross Norman and To dd LeBlanc.

And with good reason! One woman in nine will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. And the risk increases with age. An 80-year-old woman is ten times more likely to develop breast cancer than a 30-year- old woman. In Canada, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Canadian Cancer Society encourages all women to take control of their health and to remain vigilant and pro-active. How is one to be pro-active? By keeping up to date with new developments regarding breast cancer, including developments in detection and treatment, and sharing this information with your mother, your sisters and your friends. Pro-active also means staying active. Eat well. Learn a relaxation technique. Drink chamomile tea to help you sleep. Above all, exercise regularly. Regular exercise, which is good for both morale and health, has been proven to cut the risk of breast cancer in half. In spite of our best intentions and the advances of science, breast cancer remains the cancer most often diagnosed among Canadian women, representing approximately 30% of cancers. Thankfully, due to early detection techniques and increasingly effective treatments, the rate of mortality due to breast cancer has steadily decreased since the 1950s. A Pro-Active Lifestyle Is Still The Best Defense Against Breast Cancer Wom en who exercise regularly cut their risk of breast cancer in half.
