Class EA isn’t right for Seaton, they say By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — If it were up to the people who attended a public meeting Wednesday, the Seaton environmental assessment would be bumped up to a more compre- hensive study. The Ontario Realty Corporation’s consultants - Marshall Macklin Monaghan - hosted the meeting Wednesday to answer questions and listen to concerns regarding the EA study being conducted re- garding the acquisition of lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Rich- mond Hill and the transfer of pro- vincially owned land in Pickering. About 50 people were in atten- dance - although a dozen were from MMM or ORC - and several requested the category ‘C’ class EA be bumped up to an category ‘D’ individual EA. To m Melymuk from the City of Pickering again requested, on be- half of the City, that the EA be upgraded. Pickering council had previously passed a motion re- questing the Province or the ORC bump it up. “Why won’t the ORC comply with its own environmental assess- ment guidelines?” asked the head of corporate projects and policy. Under ORC guidelines a class EA is used when the transaction is of a recurring nature, has predict- able impacts and is similar to other undertakings, said Mr. Melymuk. The City, as well as community group Pickering and Ajax Citizens To gether for the Environment (PACT) and several others believe the size and environmentally sen- sitive nature of the Seaton lands in Pickering make this undertaking unique. “The ORC doesn’t agree with the City of Pickering’s interpretation of the guidelines. It believes that real estate transactions are of a recurring nature, that they happen all the time,” said Steve Willis, the project manager from MMM. Some of the differences between an individual and a class EA are that an individual EA has its own terms of reference and it takes longer while the class EA is done using guidelines laid out for simi- Ron Pietroniro / News Advertiser photo City of Pickering employees were among the many volunteers out on Tuesday to take part in the United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge’s Day of Caring.

PICKERING — Volunteers scoured Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge Tuesday, united in their caring. The first community-wide Day of Caring was held by the United Way of Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge, giving dozens of peo- ple a chance to help agencies by undertaking such projects as painting, yard work, com- puter training and renovations. “These agencies you are going to serve today really do appreciate this. They don’t have the resources to do this work,” Edna Klazek, the United Way’s executive director, told about 100 people prior to their heading out to work on proj- ects. “When you’re done today, you truly will have made a dif- ference in your community.” While most of the projects were done on Tuesday, one ini- tiative was completed on Mon- day.

NEWS ADVERTISER Pickering ready for action at annual Disabled Games By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING — It’s the smiles on their faces that keep them coming back. That’s why Durham Re- gional Police Constable Brendan Kennaley and dozens of volunteers are once again gearing up for tomorrow’s Dis- abled Children’s Games, to be held at the Pickering Recreation com- plex. Const. Ken- naley is enjoying his role as games organizer after several years of helping put the event on. “I’d volunteered and seen how wonderful a day it was for the kids,” he said. “They’re kids that live in our community that don’t normally get a chance to be involved in something like this.” Although the majority of the estimated 90 partici- pants in this year’s games are Durham residents, they come from throughout the G olden Horseshoe area, Const. Kennaley said. Par- ticipants, youngsters aged 6 to 16 with a variety of physical disabilities, take part in events including wheelchair basketball and obstacle courses. The high- light of the day is a wheel- chair rugby match between youngsters and Durham cops. The event, now in its 20th year, is staged with the assis- tance of some 100 volunteers, including off- duty Durham officers and local youth. All are committed to continuing to provide a mem- orable day for a group of special athletes, Const. Kennaley said. “It’s all about seeing the kids having a great time,” he said. “To see them lose them- selves in the moment — the smiles — that’s number one.” The games begin with opening ceremonies at 9 a.m. and continue through- out the day tomorrow. The Rec centre is located at 1867 Valley Farm Rd., south of Hwy. 2, in Pickering.

She noted at lunch on Monday, the volunteers “asked what else they could do. To them, this was a little thing. To us, it’s a great big thing.” During the kickoff, held at Papp’s Restaurant, Ms. Klazek said 15 projects were to be undertaken. “These projects today should be fun,” Ms. Klazek stated. “You are going to hear some stories, good stories, and you really will help out. “The most important thing is to have a good time today. Take the message back to your colleagues.” In Uxbridge, projects in- cluded a team led by Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor paint- ing a house, while others were doing yard work, Ms. Klazek noted. Paul Rosebush of the As- sociation of Community Living Ajax-Pickering-Whit- by said volunteers from Home Depot helped “refur- bish one of our homes.” While there, volunteers “g ot to know one of our residents. They keep com- ing back. Home Depot has almost adopted the home. I hope your experience is as magical.” Andrew Gordon from the Scotiabank said his team of 10 would be painting a home for the Community Living Association. Their involvement stemmed from a fax from the United Way about Day of Caring. “We thought it was a good idea to get involved,” Mr. Gordon said. He added it wasn’t dif- ficult finding volunteers. The bank volunteers come from the six bank branches in Ajax and Pick- ering. City of Pickering employ- ees were doing three proj- ects, including painting and levelling ground at a day care. Marisa Carpino, the su- pervisor of culture and rec- reation, said there was no problem getting volunteers. The projects give volun- teers a chance to “utilize the skills of the different depart- ments,” she added. durhamregion.com Just one more way to get your news thanks to your friends at the Metroland Durham Region Media Group Ajax, Pickering come together for 15 volunteer projects AJAX — Four Ajax teen- agers are facing charges after a school was broken into and vandalized early Sunday. Durham Regional Police said a security guard held suspects for officers after taking them into custody at about 3 a.m. The guard was responding to an alarm at Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School on Harwood Av enue North when he saw four people emerge from the building, police said. Police recovered prop- erty taken from the school and also discovered a fire extinguisher had been used to vandalize a room inside, according to a report. Four Ajax residents, all 18, have been charged with offences including break and enter, mischief, theft and possession of stolen property. Charged are Chris Gavin of Hearne Crescent, Ashley Irvine of Moynahan Cres- cent, Christopher Genuis of Dakin Drive, and Kim Yo ung of Sayor Drive. All four are scheduled to be in court in December. ✦ Ajax from page 1 Four teens charged after school break-in EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR City staff proving they’re on the ball Pickering nuclear alerting sirens not popular, but they can’t be ignored Their task may be an onerous one, but they’re just doing their job and doing it properly. City of Pickering employees are working with staff from the Region of Durham to prepare an implementation plan for the much-maligned nuclear siren alerting system. Bought and paid for, a system will go ahead, after all, provin- cial legislation mandates it. The poles the 27 sirens will be built on are 45-feet tall and will be located within a three-kilometre radius around the Pickering nuclear facility. Staff are in the middle of working on an alternative plan for distribution of the sirens, although there is no schedule or deadline for when they must be erected. The staff work, unfortunately, flies in the face of the many opponents of the system, including the public affected and several politicians who are taking up the fight to find an al- ternative system. But those efforts are still in the air. Once again, it’s a good thing staff are on the job. While politicians are looking for alternatives, City staff are considering how to make the current sirens as acceptable as possible. This past summer Mayor Dave Ryan said Pickering was working with the Region on alternative solutions, but admit- ted they had not found a new technology acceptable regard- ing the provincial requirements. And nothing has changed in the months since. The question is, how long will the Province allow this situ- ation to remain in limbo? How important is legislation if the City and the Region put off the decision indefinitely. We have to expect they will step in at some point and make the deci- sion for the lower levels of government. Whenever that happens, a level of input and control over the project is lost. If Pickering wants this done their way, they need to make a decision with the Region and get the job done. If all efforts to build a better mousetrap fall through, if council members opposed to the current system can’t find a more acceptable alternative, the City will have a plan ready to go forward. And they need that plan in order to meet the requirements of the provincial legislation for a nuclear alert- ing system. Hospital offers great care to residents To the editor: Much debate has occurred on these pages about the future of our hospital. I want to share with you why the future looks bright. My nine-year-old son recently fell off his scooter and broke his elbow. The care offered by the staff of the emergency de- partment at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, could not have been any better. From the timely patient intake, to the care offered by very supportive nurses, to the detailed explanation offered by the specialist, to the followup service offered by the fracture clinic, the care provided by this hospi- tal was first class. We are fortunate to have such a team of dedicated health- care professionals serving our community.

The job’s not the easiest one in the world They control the military, immi- gration, and most importantly federal income taxes, yet mem- bers of Parliament working in Ottawa are a long way from home. Constituents don’t have the luxury of watching their MPs at work - unless they have an affection for CPAC. Yo u can head down to the Pickering Civic Complex on a Monday night to watch municipal officials or you can take a trip to downtown Toronto to catch the provincial member of par- liament in action, but few people are going to make the four-hour trek to Ot- tawa to see their MP. So I took a trip for you. Technically I only took it for those residents who live in the riding of Ajax-Pickering (but for those of you who live in Pickering- Scarborough East, don’t worry MP Dan McTe ague was present and accounted for during the first Question Period of the 38th session of Parliament). I was on assignment to gain insight into the job of MP Mark Holland, as well as fellow rookie MPs Bev Oda of Durham riding and Oshawa’s Colin Carrie. Rest assured Pickering residents, the first week the house was in session your MP was hard at work, as were the other MPs I met with. Mr. Holland attended the throne speech, sat in the House for debate, was interviewed by a reporter and took people on a tour of the Hill all within the span of four hours. That week he met with the Liberal caucus, met with the minister of fish- eries and oceans, sat through his first Question Period, tried to keep his gov- ernment from being defeated (along with every other Liberal), and was ap- pointed to a committee. As any ordinary person paying a visit to Parliament Hill, and after speaking with Durham’s new MPs, I developed a new found appreciation for what it takes to be an MP. I couldn’t image being away from my family (especially small children) for five days at a time, working 60 to 70 hours a week, plus dealing with all the negative connotations that come with being a politician - even if some of them are warranted. Granted MPs know what they’re get- ting into when they put their name on the ballot - and the pay and perks aren’t that bad either - but it’s not the easiest job in the world, so voters should cut them some slack - at least some of the time.

The board’s transporta- tion grant would fall 19 per cent, requiring “significant changes to the overall trans- portation system for our board,” states a report on the Oct. 12 Durham Catho- lic District School Board agenda. The board received $7.05 million for the current school year, but is slated to receive $1.4 million less in the model. Business superinten- dent David Visser in an in- terview refused to discuss where cuts could be made if the board indeed loses the funding. He’s confident the model will change before it’s introduced. “In the GTA, all GTA boards except the Toronto boards are experiencing more difficulty with this model as presented,” he says. Mr. Visser’s report notes that 32 school boards would see a funding drop, includ- ing the York Re- gion public and Catholic boards, which Mr. Visser says are seen as a provincial model of ef- ficiency since they have been in a transporta- tion consortium for many years. In the Prov- ince’s model, those boards are slated to lose 20 and 19 per cent of their current funding, respectively. His report states that the board will continue to look at more joint busing with the Durham District School Board. But, where addition- al savings cannot be found, “s chool hours may have to change in order to use our contracted vehicles more ef- ficiently.” The previous government was to introduce a new model this school year, say- ing boards would have to be in a consortium in order to qualify for funding. The Durham boards received roughly $241,000 to set up and run a consortium, ap- proved in principle last year. But the criterion of having to be in a consortium was de- ferred by the Lib- eral government, which is currently listening to input on the model. The pub- lic board changed its policy in April, eliminating sur- plus seating and replacing it with a new provision for parents who use childcare. The report from business superintendent Ed Hodgins at the time indi- cated many surplus seating applications “were for child- care purposes.” The move angered par- ents, and several trustees have tried to re-open the policy with the intention of altering it, but there has never been quite enough support at the board table. Board chairman Eliza- beth Roy says the context of why the board changed its policy is important, not- ing it was done mainly to align the Durham boards’ busing policies at the urging of the Province, not because of the pending provincial model and expectations of less funding. “Why did we start this in the first place? Because it was initiated by the provin- cial government,” she said. The board already had concerns with surplus seat- ing, she said, since it “cre- ated headaches for staff” and parents were on hold until October each year be- fore learning if their chil- dren had surplus seats or not. She says if the board indeed loses the money in the new model, as it expects, “we still have more to come” in terms of changing the transportation policy. Ajax resident Denise Bar- rett said downplaying the ef- fect of the new model on the board’s decision to alter its policy is a change in tack for the board, which has been citing funding cuts. “Now they’ve got another excuse,” she said. “They’re back-tracking and provid- ing excuses. They’re still not willing to admit that the way they handled this was poor.” Wilma Davis, an Educa- tion Ministry spokeswom- an, said “The consultation is ongoing and the minister has said the model could change.” She said if there are changes, they would be made in time to be reflected in the education grants an- nounced in the spring. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 2004 PAGE 7 A/P Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations The Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations (PASZR) were passed on September 30, 2004, and were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II on October 20, 2004.

(The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is currently conduct- ing a development plan study for Seaton). Sarah Powell also questioned using a class EA. Ms. Powell is an environmental lawyer represent- ing a landowner in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve to the west of the study area. “This is a very complex process in my mind,” she said in an inter- view. “It is very hard to see how this is recurring in nature and it is hard to predict the effects. While at the microphone she asked those in the audience who want the EA bumped up - more than two thirds of those remaining raised their hands. Glen Shiers was one of those people. He was attending the meeting with his family, who have farmed on leased land in Seaton for 28 years. “I grew up on the land, I know what it is. Why are we here begging for a full environmental assessment,” Mr. Shiers said. “To me the whole thing is environ- mentally sensitive and shouldn’t be developed.” Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan also made an appearance. He accused the ORC of doing the less time and detail intensive class assessment so it would be completed as soon as possible in order for the land swap to be fi- nalized. “The plan for the Seaton area has been in the works for 30 years. Never has there been a full envi- r onmental assessment, now is the time,” he said. ORC can voluntarily bump up the environmental assessment or at the end of the process individu- als can request a bump to the min- ister of environment. Last month, the Province an- nounced a land swap deal had been reached to bring 1,057 acres of developer owned land on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill into public ownership by transferring 1,275 acres of provin- cially owned land in Seaton. The government has yet to announce which parcels of land are going to be transferred. Jim Butticci from the ORC said which parcels of land gets swapped depends on the results of the EA, which is expected to be completed in late winter or early spring. Panels on display at the meet- ing showed two other alternatives that were examined in addition to swapping land in Pickering. They were doing nothing (Oak Ridges Moraine land won’t come into public ownership) or looking for other ORC lands to swap. The Pickering swap was selected as the preferred alternative. Mr. Butticci said if significant en- vironmental features were found in Seaton during the EA it could affect the swap deal. Another public meeting will take place early in the new year after much of the technical work is completed. The boards on display at We dnesday’s meeting are going to be available on the ORC’s web- site at www.orc.on.ca. ✦ Time from page 1 Time for full environmental assessment is now, says Mayor Ryan Dave Ryan durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 2004 PAGE 9 A/P more than you came for women’s MEGA BRAND HOSIERY EVENT buy 6 or more save 40% buy 3 or more, save 35% buy 1 or 2, save 30% women’s hosiery by Silks, Mantles™, Hanes, WonderBra, Hue and more save 45% boxed bras by WonderBra and Warners save 40% women’s selected fall fashions by Mantles™, mac & jac and Nygård Collection.Includes petites and Above Average. save up to 40% women’s & men’s fashions & denim by CK Jeans, Buffalo, Hollywood, Chaps Denim, Nautica Jeans, Ikeda and Point Zero save 30% women’s sleepwear, robes, fashion bras, panties, daywear and shapewear jewellery, accessories &shoes buy 3, save 60% buy 2, save 55% buy 1, save 50% luggage by Samsonite, Ricardo of Beverly Hills, Air Canada & more save 50% men’s Nunn Bush slip-on moccasin dress shoes and corporate casuals Reg. $99.99-$109.99.

FORMULA FORD One Day Neighbourhood SALE Saturday October 23 TOMORROW Builder picked for new Ajax school AJAX — Percon Construction will build Ajax’s next Catholic school at a cost of $6.43 million, excluding GST. The Durham Catholic District School Board awarded the tender for the project at the Oct. 12 board meet- ing. The 481-student school is to be built on Segar Avenue, near Westney and Taunton roads, and open in September 2005. Business superintendent David Visser said the building will cost $131.04 per square foot. When the architectural drawings were presented to trustees in Febru- ary, board chairman Mary Ann Martin pointed out a number of design features she believed should be changed. She cited poor traffic flow as a concern on the property, saying the layout would “cause a real traffic jam,” criticized a light well, designed to bring natural light into the school, as “odd looking,” and suggested the location of a washroom be changed. “We did a couple of things and we didn’t do others,” Mr. Visser said in an interview. The skylight stayed and Mr. Visser noted the one-entrance road access to the school, which Trustee Martin criticized, is also still in place. Trustees had been told in February that the Town would not likely agree to a separate parking lot entrance. Enrolment swells DURHAM — Durham’s Catholic school board has 142 more students this year compared to last, and 282 more than projected. The Durham Catholic District School Board, at the Oct. 12 board meeting, received an enrolment report from staff. It compares both projections to actual enrolment this fall, and also 2003 to 2004. The elementary panel has 16,449 pupils, 295 fewer than in 2003, which was not unexpected, as the report from business superintendent David Visser states the decline “is a trend that the board has experienced since the start of the 2000/01 school year. “The primary factor in this down- ward trend is the declining fertility rate,” it states. On the other hand, the 8,385 high school students in the system represent an increase of 437 pupils, described in the report as “a result of higher enrol- ment numbers in the upper elementary grades moving into the secondary panel.” Mr. Visser states the enrolment increase will be contained in the board’s 2004/05 revised estimates, due at the Ministry of Education by Dec. 15. At the meeting, Mr. Visser said as it stands, the higher enrolment would mean another $300,000 to $400,000 for the board.

But when Rob Williamson was named the Durham Re- gional Police Officer of the Ye ar, no one in the room was more proud than his dad — a cop himself for al- most four decades. “My dad didn’t want me to be a police officer,” De- tective-Constable William- son said after receiving the honour Saturday. “He knew what came along with it. “But it was a perfect match for my life.” Sergeant Sam William- son, a 37-year veteran of the Miramichi Police Service in New Brunswick, was among the family, friends and col- leagues in attendance at the Jubilee Pavilion in Oshawa when the annual Durham Regional Police Association retirement dinner was held Saturday evening. The Offi- cer of the Year honour, pre- sented by the police service and the Oshawa Central Lions club, came as a com- plete surprise to Det.-Const. Williamson. He said he was particu- larly happy to have his dad in attendance when the honour, for which he was nominated by his peers at 17 Division in Oshawa, was presented. “He was there for my graduation from Loyalist College and he was there for my graduation from Ontario Police College,” Det.-Const. Williamson, 29, said. “He’s been there when I received my badge. “He claims this is his best moment as a father.” Det.-Const. Williamson said that early on in life his dad counselled him against a life in policing, citing the toll the job takes on one’s personal and family life. He left the Miramichi re- gion for Loyalist College in Belleville, where he studied environmental sciences. But the lure of a career in policing proved too strong; he obtained his qualifica- tion as an officer and was hired by Durham Regional Police in October of 1999, then took his oath in Febru- ary of 2000. He has quickly made his mark. In just four and a half years on the force Det.-Const. Williamson has lodged a high number of ar- rests and is currently work- ing with a specialty unit. His current work and his hopes of continuing his career in intelligence work serve as his inspiration to maintain high standards. Det.-Const. Williamson spent several years as a pa- trol officer before transfer- ring to crime management on a skills augmentation opportunity. He is a certi- fied Scenes of Crimes Of- ficer and a Sexual Assault Response Officer. “He’s the first officer to log on for duty and the last one to log off,” said Sergeant Nick Lisi. “He has no fear of tak- ing on a new challenge and his enthusiasm for policing shows every day. His work ethic is unbelievable.” Due to the sensitive na- ture of his work, the News Adveriser has decided to run this story without a pic- ture of the officer. Det.-Const. Williamson, married with a young son, said he hopes to finish his career in Durham. He re- alizes being named Officer of the Year after just a few years on the force means he’s off to an auspicious start. “The award was the icing on the cake,” he said. “Having a co-worker nominate you is the best part of it. “I really can’t describe it.” Durham’s officer of the year following in father’s footsteps durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 2004 PAGE 11 A/P YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL MADE SIMPLE.

Vital Links Campaign Gord Simmonds President & CEO I AM A VITAL LINK I AM A VITAL LINK SPONSORED BY Former NHL goaltender offers vital boost By Danielle Milley Staff Writer AJAX — For mer Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Glenn Healey is showing support for his local hospital. Mr. Healey is one of the voices in the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation’s Vital Links campaign. He is recording a 30-second radio commercial that talks about his commitment to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Mr. Healey, a lifelong Ajax resident, was born at the hospital and so were his wife and three daughters. “You might say that my family and I have made good use of our local hospital,” he said. “I’ve been there at least a dozen times with injuries I’ve sus- tained on and off the ice over the years. Plus my mom was sick for a number of years when I was growing up and for a time I was at the hospital every night.” The goal of the Ajax site’s side of the campaign is to raise $13.7 million and there is $1.6 million left to go. Angie Draskovic, the Vital Links campaign director, said having Mr. Healey on board is going to help reach the goal. “It means a great deal hav- ing the support of someone like Glenn Healey for the campaign and for the hospital,” she said. “When he chimes in his support and asks others to lend their support to us, they take no- tice.” Members of the public are invited to throw their support behind Mr. Healey and the foundation by be- coming a vital link. Busi- nesses, community groups and individuals are invited to organize their own fund- raising event to help the campaign. For information or ideas, on the Internet go to www.rougevalley.ca/ rvhsfoundation/. Before the campaign was launched, there were 17 MRI machines to the west of the Don Valley Parkway and only two to the east. Through community com- mitments, Rouge Valley now houses a new MRI at its Centenary site, which ser- vices east Toronto and west Durham. The campaign also sup- ports the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital’s $47-million redevelopment, which includes an expand- ed emergency department. The plans are in the detailed design stages and construc- tion is expected to begin in early 2006. “I get a lot of requests to support worthwhile charita- ble organizations, but I am passionate about my com- mitment to Rouge Valley,” Mr. Healey said. “We are a growing community and together we need to make sure our hospital grows with us so that it can be there when we need it.” Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital nets Healey for campaign The intent of this letter is to inform the public of a Wetland Rehabilitation Project in the Duffins Creek Marsh. This project is being implemented by Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) in the North West Lagoon and will allow us to: • control water levels to increase aquatic vegetation growth and abundance; • control carp from entering the marsh (non-native species which destroy important vegetation used by wildlife); • improve area for fish spawning and production; and help this area become more desirable for wildlife (waterfowl, marsh birds, amphibians, etc.).

The purpose of the public workshop is to inform and to listen to ideas on how additional capacity might be added, how the different alternatives should be evaluated and concerns regarding the overall project.

FORMULA FORD One Day Neighbourhood SALE Saturday October 23 TOMORROW By Jane McDonald Staff Writer DURHAM — The Public Service Al- liance of Canada has for all intents and purposes agreed with its boss — the federal government. Although they don’t yet have a con- tract, federal public servants who went on strike last week are back on the job. Striking workers went back to their jobs as early as last Friday with instruc- tion to work to rule. “It will take another five to six weeks for the agreements to ratify,” said Alain Cossette, PSAC spokesman. The short-lived strike began when 125,000 federal public servants began strike action across the country. Small groups of those workers reached tenta- tive agreements throughout the week. Revenue Canada workers reached a tentative deal mid-week, while about 4,800 Parks Canada workers who have been on strike since August reached a deal with the federal government on Monday. “These will now go out for ratifi- cation,” added Angela Fairweather, a regional PSAC representative from the union’s Toronto area office. About 300 federal employees work here in Dur- ham. When the agreements are ratified, it is estimated the workers will receive a 10-per cent pay raise over a four-year period. The striking civil servants’ union claims the agreements will also pro- vide term employees with improved sick, maternity and parental leave ben- efits. Civil servants back to work while awaiting ratification of recent agreements New home makes the cut DURHAM – It was all smiles in Oshawa recently as the cake was cut at the opening of the new location of both the VON and Volunteer Resource Centre for Durham Region. On hand were Alan Cavell, VON east central district executive director; Joyce Marshall, VON Canada-Ontario-Durham board president; Paul Ting, VON vice-president; Nancy Burke, Durham Resource Cen- tre manager, Nancy Hughes, VON Durham community support manager and Sandi Gauder, resource centre board president. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 2004 PAGE 15 A/P 900 Champlain Ave., Oshawa 1-800-642-4561 or (905) 723-5211 *See store for complete details.

Will the Region be able to keep pace with the needs of its residents? Boom town is a 12-part series ex- amining the issues we will confront now and in the near future. PA RT 10: THE IMPACT ON SERVICES B y Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — Abraham Maslow wrote about the five needs of hu- mans, he could very well have been discussing the necessities of communities. Neighbourhoods must offer res- idents several services in order to survive and thrive: shelter, water (and sewer), safety, recreation, education and health. The same way Maslow said hu- mans must meet certain needs be- fore acquiring others, communi- ties such as Durham and its grow- ing municipalities must keep up with the demands its residents are putting on services. Health care When Dr. Caroline McAllister took her spot in September among the other doctors at the Brooklin medical centre, she immediately stopped taking patients. “I was full the day I opened my practice,” she said. “There’s an awful lot of people in these areas who don’t have doctors.” Almost every municipality in Durham has been designated un- derserviced by the Province. Dr. McAllister took 600 patients from a waiting list of 1,800. Some had no doctor at all, while others have had to travel back and forth to doctors in other cities because none are available in Durham. Both situations have meant there’s been more demand on costly and less consistent walk-in clinics, Dr. McAllister said. Growth is also being felt at hos- pitals. While more people mean more development at the facili- ties, in the short term it “puts a lot of strain on resources,” said Brian Lemon, Lakeridge Health Corpo- ration’s chief executive officer. “We are getting pressure for more and more services,” Mr. Lemon said of the corporation’s four hospitals in Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry, es- pecially in obstetrics and needs for an aging population. “We aren’t always able to meet those needs and people are having to depend on downtown hospi- tals” and emergency rooms. Even free immunizations by the Durham Region health depart- ment have skyrocketed the past few years, said Regina Elliott, a nursing manager in immuniza- tion. In 2001, 10,000 Durhamites were vaccinated against the flu, compared to 20,000 last year. The in-school hepatitis B program has also increased, causing the health department to rely more on vol- unteers and couriers to keep track of information where once a nurse would visit a school. The department’s monthly fam- ily immunization clinic is increas- ing by 100 visits a year, Ms. Elliott said. “We’re finding the clinics are quite busy...because of a lack of physicians in Durham Region.” Safety and Policing In 1996, Durham’s emergency medical services (EMS) team re- sponded to 32,221 calls. In 2003, they responded to 65,689. “It’s the (growing population), it’s the age of the population,” said Richard Armstrong, director of EMS for the Region. “We expect to see the call volumes continue to climb, as a result of the increased growth in the population... and age of the population as it continues to mature and require more medical attention.” And with higher call volumes comes increased costs for sala- ries and education, kilometres on ambulances, new equipment, Mr. Armstrong said. More people in Durham also means more cars on the road and sometimes more de- lays responding to calls. While EMS has been keeping up with growth and keeping re- sponse times down, more money is needed from the Province, Mr. Armstrong added. The Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) has seen similar increases in the number of calls officers have responded to. In 1998, the police answered 138,000 calls. This year will see that number rise to just under 200,000, said Chief Kevin McAlpine. “Part of the problem... is that the vast majority of the growth has happened along the Lakeshore and between Taunton Road and Hwy. 7,” he said. “In our business, population density is a factor along with the total number of people. It’s only been in the past year or so that Durham finally met the one officer for every 750 residents benchmark, the Chief said. In 1998 the ratio was 1 to 604. Now it’s 1 to 757. The high-profile murder and drug cases that make the news do not make up the majority of the police’s workload either. “When you have more people in the same amount of space driving on the same roads, there are more cars to meet in intersections, more people to lose wallets and car keys and ding each other’s fenders,” Chief McAlpine said. “On top of that, we’re facing a real heavy demand from parents, schools and community groups looking for all kinds of police education programs. Every time there’s a new school and new kids, our ability to meet those crime prevention or community safety (duties)...gets pushed and pulled.” Social Services The biggest impact growth is having on social services is in day care, said Dr. Hugh Drouin. The Region’s commissioner of social services and his staff have seen the waiting list for subsidized child care go up and down through the years, but it’s never been as high as it was in the end of Sep- tember this year: 1,270 children are waiting for a spot. “There are more young fami- lies moving to Durham and they need two incomes,” Dr. Drouin said. “People want to go back to work, and child care is expensive so they’re asking for subsidized spaces. “The waiting list is certainly climbing.” So, too, are demands for rec- reation centres in Durham. Resi- dents want ice time for skating and hockey, community rooms for social groups and art classes. Soc- cer fields and baseball diamonds. The extra 5,000 people — mostly families — moving to Whitby each year is definitely putting a strain on the Town’s recreation facilities, said Peter LeBel, the town’s direc- tor of community and marketing services. “A s a result of growth in our community and concentrated growth in programs... we’ve had to accommodate that,” he said. “We’re trying to balance growth with demands on other areas, on the community as well as keep our tax rate as competitive as pos- sible.” The Town has one arena for every 10,000 people, considered “s ubstantially above the pro- vincial average,” Mr. LeBel said. Whitby’s main library on Dundas Street, which was fine for a popu- lation of 55,000, not for the current 100,000, is currently being rebuilt, he added. Education Steven Usher once stood up at a Durham District School Board meeting and said his kids were coming home with soaking wet and blackened socks. They were trudging back and forth between portables at Meadowcrest Public School in Brooklin and had to con- tinuously walk through slush. When the room erupted in ap- plause, Mr. Usher knew he wasn’t alone in his concern about over- crowding. The Ashburn parent of three children has been fighting for a new school in Brooklin, and was recently rewarded with the news of to be opened in 2005. But with vil- lage’s population bursting to 11,700 in the past few years, he fears the new building isn’t enough. “The school (Meadowcrest) was near 200 per cent capacity and there were more portables than classrooms,” Mr. Usher said. There’s one gym for 23 classes. Not enough musical instruments. Not enough time in the library. The soccer and baseball diamonds and playground are filled with por- tables. Board Chairwoman Elizabeth Roy hears stories like Mr. Usher’s every day. She said the frustration lies at the feet of the Province. “We don’t receive the increased dollars to keep up with” new schools and funding, she said. Prior to 1997, school boards, like municipalities, could set their own tax rate. Now funds are funneled through the Province. In 1999, 67,589 students were enrolled in DDSB schools. The 2004 draft number is 70,451. Next month: Cost of growth Boom town Servicing a growing population Keeping up with a population growing at a dizzying rate is not a small undertaking. School board officials are hard pressed to keep up with a growing school-age population as new subdivisions take shape around Durham.

Holiday specific deals are offered throughout the year. So, if you know where you want to go early, it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for sales on airfare and lodging. If you’re able to recognize a deal, act quickly to take advantage of money-saving opportunities. Following are some ideas on how to best plan your special getaway this holiday season: • If possible, maintain flexibility on your travel dates and destination. • Don’t push the time limits given the recent changes in fare rules and regulations. According to www.Travelocity.com, missing a flight may be more costly than simply waiting for the next one. • Look for low-price guarantees, Web specials, loyalty program deals and packages for greater savings on lodging. However, be sure to read any and all fine print before you commit, as some deals are non- refundable. • Last-minute getaway packages are becoming increasingly available. To ensure you’ve found the best package, be sure to check what is and isn’t included, such as air, hotel, airport transfers and rental cars.

Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Research will focus on an alternative to gasoline By Jennifer Stone Staff Writer DURHAM — Ibrahim Dincer says he’s glad he didn’t follow his soccer coach’s advice. The University of Ontar- io Institute of Technology professor accepted the Pre- mier’s Research Excellence Award for his research into fuel-cell technology for au- tomobiles Wednesday, say- ing that as a teen he was selected for the junior na- tional soccer team in Tur- key. “A fter I finished high school, I luckily passed two national university en- trance exams and got into a mechanical engineering program,” says the profes- sor, who claims only to have been an “average student” in high school. “My coach at the time told me, “Ibrahim, forget about university. To- morrow, you will only be an engineer.” But in spite of his coach’s advice, Mr. Dincer went on to university. “I think I did better (by going to school). And, here I am now,” says Mr. Dincer. The award brings with it $100,000 in research fund- ing from the Province, and $50,000 in matching funds from the university. Mr. Dincer is the first UOIT pro- fessor to receive the award, which will allow him to fund doctoral students to help with his research into using fuel cells to power ve- hicles. Mr. Dincer says he will focus his research on pas- senger vehicles, in an ef- fort to find an alternative to gasoline and, ultimately, help cut down on green- house gas emissions. The Premier’s Research Excellence Award was de- veloped in 1998 to help Ontario’s best researchers attract exceptional gradu- ate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research as- sociates to their research teams. Having a member of fac- ulty receive such an award is very important to the uni- versity, says Marc Rosen, dean of the Faculty of En- gineering and Applied Sci- ence. “It all starts with re- search,” says Mr. Rosen. “Without research, there would be nothing for us to teach.” A/P PAGE 28 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 2004 durhamregion.com Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies. • A Full Range of Dental Treatments - Bring the whole family. •Saturday & Evening Appointments - To serve you better. •Flexible Payment Options - Helping you get the treatment you want. •ARelaxing Atmosphere - Virtual vision glasses, stereo headphones to help ensure you have a pleasant visit.

Weave and spin your way over to Greenwood Clerks at Pickering, Scarborough stores terrorized by knife-wielding assailants By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM — An Ajax man faces penitentiary time after being convicted for his role in three violent robberies during which convenience store clerks were terrorized and assaulted with knives. Christopher Junior Brown was one of a crew of three young men who robbed stores in Pickering and Scarborough in the spring of 2003, Superior Court Justice Clair March- and declared in his ruling Wednesday. “They would terrorize the (store) owners to part with money, cigarettes and lottery (tickets),” the judge said. “They exhibited a vi- cious streak of violence during the robberies.” In convicting Mr. Brown on 12 charges, including robbery and aggravated assault, the judge rejected his defence that he was too drunk to know what he was getting involved in the night of May 21, 2003, when he was apprehended after run- ning away from the scene of a robbery on Kingston Road in Pickering. “All in all, I disbelieve his evidence that he was drunk during his commission of the robbery, at which he indicated he was present,” Justice Marchand said. “His original insistence of drunk- enness was a sham that could eventually be used to show lack of intent.” During a two-week trial that began earlier this month, the judge heard Mr. Brown was arrested a short distance away from the scene of the Kingston Road robbery. The Daisy Mart was being staked out by Durham Regional Police Detectives Adam Kelly and Craig Hudson, who were in- vestigating a rash of violent convenience store robber- ies, court heard. The officers watched as a van carrying four young black men pulled out of a Comfort Inn parking lot and drove along Kingston Road before turning up Rosebank Road; minutes later, three masked men ran through the parking lot, vaulted a railing and entered the store, the judge heard. Det. Kelly told the judge he was in the parking lot with his gun drawn when clerk Jayesh Patel ran out of the store, screaming he was being robbed. Hot on his heels were the three masked men, who scattered and ran for it when the cops yelled at them to freeze, court heard. Police apprehended one suspect, a young person who can’t be named, after a foot chase. They tracked the van to the home of Ofari Gordon, who pleaded guilty to charges relating to his role in the robberies. Court heard Det. Hudson was following the van when he saw one of the suspects bolt toward a residential area; Mr. Brown was ar- rested, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, near a house on Lightfoot Place minutes later. He had at- tempted to break into a house to evade police, court heard. Circumstantial evidence also links Mr. Brown to the robberies, the judge said in his ruling. He was wearing a jacket, upon which traces of blood from one of the robbery victims was found; and a bandana found near the scene of one of the Scar- borough robberies had his DNA on it. During the trial, defence lawyer Kevin Mitchell-Gill questioned the value of that DNA evidence, raising concerns about the chain of possession of the bandana and whether it may have been contaminated while being handled and pack- aged. He also raised the issue of Mr. Brown’s possible in- toxication, entering into ev- idence video from a police booking room that shows the young man frequently bending over at the waist and appearing to stagger as he was led away. But police officers who were present testified they smelled no alcohol on Mr. Brown and did not think he was drunk when he was taken into custody. In rendering judgment We dnesday, Justice March- and concluded Mr. Brown had been “acting” in a bid to create a defence for him- self. The judge noted “uncan- nily similar characteristics” among the three robberies, in which lone clerks were attacked by three men as they closed their stores for the night. In all three in- stances, clerks were slashed or menaced with knives; one storekeeper showed the judge scars on his hand and neck. Security video from one robbery showed assailants stabbing the clerk as he struggled with them near a cash register. A sentencing hearing is to be held Nov. 19. Crown prosecutor Mike Newell said he expects penitentiary time of several years. P PAGE 30 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 2004 durhamregion.com WALLPAPER CENTRE O P EN SU ND A YS1652 Bayly St. W.

According to official re- sults, Ontario has the high- est number of sites taking part in the challenge out of 19 regions across North America. The international event was sponsored by the Quintessence Foundation, a non-profit group that pro- vides education to parents and health-care profes- sionals about the benefits of breastfeeding. This year, more than 2,300 babies were involved at more than 130 different sites, spanning from Nunavut to Texas. “Locally, we did bet- ter than last year. I believe there were 22 babies,” said Sara Bingham, who helped organize the event in Dur- ham outside Old Navy in the Oshawa Centre. “Some of the people that came out were people who have been talking for a while and discussing par- enting issues over the Inter- net.” It was the second year Durham Region partici- pated in the event, and Ms. Bingham said she is defi- nitely going to help the re- gion participate next year. “If it just keeps on grow- ing and the word gets out and people know about it, all the better. We put it to- gether last year with about four days notice, and it went OK... but we were a little more organized this year,” she said. With more than 630 nurs- ing infants, British Colum- bia was first with the most babies participating in one region. Ontario came sec- ond with more than 500. “A ustralia had one (breastfeeding event) in August, and in total across 42 different locations they had more than 1,600 moth- ers breastfeeding all at the same time,” Ms. Bingham said. “It’s natural — we’re sup- pose to be doing this,” she added.

In the midst of their third cam- paign, the Cougars earned their first-ever playoff berth by scor- ing a 17-7 victory over the host Dunbarton Spartans in a crucial LOSSA West Division league con- test played at the Pickering school Thursday afternoon. The victory improved Notre Dame’s record to 2-2 on the sea- son, allowing the Cougars to finish no worse than fourth in the LOSSA West Division. The Cougars, how- ever, could still finish as high as third in the six-team league with a victory over Pickering’s Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas in the regular-season finale next Friday. Meanwhile, the Spartans, with a 1-3 mark, can also make the playoffs, but it’s a long shot. The team must beat the undefeated Pickering High School Trojans next Thursday. Cougars coach Brian Hughes says his team met the first of two goals set before its first game this season: to make the playoffs. The other goal, to get to the Durham Region championship game, is now the focus. He credits a solid corps of returning players and a good team concept with pushing the Cougars to the post season. “We’ve really benefitted from having a good group of kids,” says Hughes who’s been at the helm of the program since the school opened three years ago. “That’s why we may be ahead of sched- ule.” After a scoreless first quarter where both offences struggled to move the ball, the notoriously slow-starting Cougars’ finally got things rolling in the second quar- ter. Midway through the stanza, Notre Dame quarterback Chris Dahiroc kept the ball at the line of scrimmage before taking off on a 45-yard run down the sideline for the touchdown. Kicker Matt Whittaker was good on the convert to give the Cougars a 7-0 lead. The game really got away from the Spartans midway through the second quarter. A touchdown run by Dunbarton’s Jahmal Turner was called back by the game offi- cials on an objectionable conduct call when Turner leapt over the goal line with no Notre Dame tack- lers in sight. Forced to try to get to the end zone again, on the next play from scrimmage, a pass from Spartans’ quarterback Ryan Lind- say was picked off by the Cougars’ Cecil Cherrie at midfield. Another penalty call against Dunbarton provided the Cougars with solid field position. Running back Robert Chung got the call from approximately 20 yards out for the touchdown. Whittaker booted his second convert for a 14-0 Notre Dame lead at halftime. A botched snap that sailed over the head of Whittaker, in to punt, gave the Spartans new life in the third quarter. The ball was recovered by the Spartans on the Cougars’ one-yard line. On the next play, Ryan Bardgett took the plunge into the end zone for the major. Kyle Patterson kicked the extra point. Whittaker booted a 20-yard field goal with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Spartans coach Jamie Brown praised the work of his defence, especially when, on two occasions, the Dunbarton defence stuffed the Cougars on scoring drives deep in their zone on third-down at- tempts. But, Brown was unhappy with the number of penalties his team racked up. “The defence played really well, but we took too many penalties as usual. Notre Dame played sim- ple football and we couldn’t shut them down,” says Brown. According to Hughes, his Cou- gars recovered nicely after losing their last two games against league heavyweights from Pickering High School and St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School. “Those two teams (St. Mary and Pickering High) on those days were better than us,” says Hughes. “I didn’t think this team (Dun- barton) was better than we are. The one intangible was we started slowly again.” Coming into the contest, the Spartans’ and Cougars’ only other victory this year came against the J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate Storm of Ajax.

Wedding to take place in summer of 2006 Durham Teachers make a Difference: ABig Thank You Thanks to all the support Thomas Dusome received by the teachers, guidance and resource counselors at Lord Durham, Exeter and Ajax High School. The continuing effort, time and resources made it possible to have Tom enter college and know that he could succeed. There is another word I would like to add it is caring. For they did follow Tom's progress closely showing Tom they saw the potential and desire to do well. A note regarding extracurricular programs: many students benefit from such programs as sports, academic and music. Tom entered into the music program which has opened a new form of expression for him. I surely couldn't have given the opportunity either musically or financially and would have missed out of the great joy it has brought. To the guidance and resource staff that took their time to listen to my concerns. I always left their office knowing that they would do their best for my son. It is time that your efforts were recognized and that the public hears from an appreciative parent.

The Axemen were edged by the Vipers 3-2. Teamwork, solid goaltending paves way to first title of season DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Raiders Page Flooring/The Office Fur- niture Store minor bantam ‘AAA’ rep hockey team swept away the compe- tition at the recent Markham Wax- ers Thanksgiving Tourn ament. The Raid- ers captured the tournament title after outplay- ing the Wexford Raiders 5-2 in the final. Colton Ken- nedy opened the scoring with Dylan Page, Ian Watters, Colin Campbell and Ryan Brawley following suit with goals. Koree Wait recorded two assists, Brawley, Brett Holmberg, Jordan Ram- say, Mark Ramkema and Mike Purcell added one apiece. Goaltender Jared Cowley earned the win in the final. Watters was named the final game’s most valuable player. The Ajax-Pickering bantams gained entrance to the final after edging the Brantford 99ers out of contention with a 4-3 victory in the semifinal contest. Callum Lynch was the Raiders’ hero, scoring the game winner late in the contest. Kennedy and Colin Campbell also scored. Ramsay drew two assists, Evan Haga and Wait chipped in with one apiece. The Raiders opened the tourney with a narrow 2-1 win over the Elgin- Middlesex Chiefs. Kennedy and Bran- don Jeffries were the goal scorers. In Game 2, the Ajax-Pickering bantams chased the Central Ontario Wolves 3-1. Andy Andreoff scored twice with a single to Jeffries. Ramkema posted two assists, Haga and Holmberg added one apiece. In a tough third game, the Raiders prevailed over the Wheatfield Blades of New York state 2-1. Kennedy and Brawley scored, with assists to Ken- nedy, Watters and Ramsay. Solid goaltending by Cowley and Marco Tamburro, along with excellent teamwork, secured the title for Ajax- Pickering. The Raiders currently own a win- ning 4-1-1 record in league play.
