Citing traffic, transients and trains as reasons why the appli- cation should not be approved, about a dozen concerned resi- dents were on hand for Monday’s executive committee meeting. “One of the main issues that was brought about the proposed hotel is the possibility of it turn- ing into some sort of flop house,” said resident Joe Murray, who first attended a public meeting on the application last June. The original submission was for a five-storey, 34-unit all- suites hotel with full kitchens to be located on Sheppard Avenue at Merritton Road. This triggered concerns from the community that the building would be- come home to longer-term ten- ants. The reworked submission brought to executive committee (made up of members of coun- cil) was for a four-storey, 37-unit building with a bar fridge, sink No room for the inn proposed in Pickering New parking woes; Durham could outgrow new home by 2007 By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM — An additional $2.7 million is needed to expand the new garage at regional headquarters if there’s going to be enough parking — and that doesn’t include addi- tional spots that will be needed as staff grow out of the new building by 2007. “What more can be added onto this project?” asked Ajax Council- lor Scott Crawford, adding that he gets the increased costs of the new headquarters constantly thrown in his face. “Are there any more sur- prises?” The news comes as the Province announced it now wants the court to occupy and lease the entire exist- ing regional headquarters after staff move out. And that means parking spots that would have been revealed if portions of the building were torn down will remain covered. Further parking strain comes from increased provincial court staff members who will be in the build- ing, a report to Wednesday’s joint finance and administration and works committee meeting said. The Region has already approved a $14.5-million parking garage that will provide 806 spots. Combined with surface parking, 1,436 spots will be available by the end of Au- gust. But increased court staff, visit- ing regional staff, the public and busy jury days mean a minimum 1,630 parking spaces are needed. So staff are recommending com- pleting a fifth floor on the garage, which will add 177 spaces and cost $15,400 per spot, the report said. That would bring the total garage cost to $17.2 million. Staff are also looking at a tempo- rary lot across the road from head- ® • S A L E S • S E R V I C E • L E A S I N G • R E N T A L S • B O D Y S H O P 5 0 3 K in g s to n R d ., P ic ke r in g w w w .p v w .c o m (9 0 5 ) 4 2 0 -9 7 0 0 “T r y T h e B e s t ” P I C K E R I N G V O L K S W A G E N I N C .

Region delivers $2.7-million ‘surprise’ ✦ See Durham, Page 5 ✦ See Pickering, Page 4 A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 29, 2005 durhamregion.com By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING — Although work to refurbish a reactor at the Pickering nuclear station was over-budget and behind schedule, Ontario Power Generation workers have had to go back and correct a potential defect. John Coleby, site vice- president of Pickering ‘A’, said feeder tubes on Unit 4 are being inspected, tested and replaced because of thinning metal. The problem was found when the feeder tubes for Unit 1, which are undergoing a refurbishment, were tested and found to be thin. Speaking to the Commu- nity Advisory Committee on Tuesday, Mr. Coleby said the company decided to go back and check the tubes on Unit 4. The reactor was shutdown April 2 “as a result of what we found on Unit 1. Improve- ments are underway,” he stated. Feeder tubes carry hot, pressurized water from the reactor to the steam genera- tors, or boilers. Steam from the hot water turns the tur- bines, which creates electric- ity. If the tubes hadn’t been checked, small pinholes would have been created. “We would quickly detect that and shutdown the plant,” he said. CAC member Liz Oliver questioned why the feeder tubes for Unit 4 needed to be checked, considering the amount of work done to the reactor prior to it being re- started. Mr. Coleby said inspec- tions were done “around critical elbows” in the tubes on Unit 4. “It was all done and com- pleted successfully. We did the same on Unit 1 and found some areas were thin,” he stated. “We took what was a conservative decision” to shutdown Unit 4 to inspect the tubes. The tubes were sent to laboratories and technicians “found areas thinner than they were expected to be. “These things are continu- ally evolving. So far, every- thing looks OK,” he added. The refurbishing work on Unit 1 is 92 per cent com- plete. Testing on nuclear components is underway as the unit moves closer to re- turning to service. “We’re in the process of slowly completing all the construction-type work and laying off construction work- ers. More and more, we’re turning the work over to OPG workers,” Mr. Coleby said. On the ‘B’ side, Unit 5 is in the middle of a planned 120- day outage. Mr. Coleby noted the company’s financial picture “is significantly better than 2003.” In March, OPG announced a profit of $42 million for 2004, compared to a loss of $491 million in 2003. Much of the loss in 2003 was due to the provincial government’s decision to close the coal-fired plants in 2007 and “obviously we need to reflect that in our financial statements,” he said. The company’s financial picture should look brighter in the future, OPG reports, as it won’t have to pay back re- bates to customers. In 2004, the rebates cost OPG $1.15 billion and over the life of the rebate program, the com- pany had to pay back $3.5 bil- lion. “It will have a significant effect on our bottom line,” he said. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 29, 2005 PAGE 3 A/P Mon-Fri 8-9 pm Saturday 8-7 pm Sunday 9-6 pm 4038 Hwy. 7 905-479-2480 UNIONVILLE PICKERING 2215 Brock Rd.

Mr. Murray still had concerns. “I’m not convinced the long- term housing issue has been suc- cessfully dealt with,” he said. Scott Currie, who had previous- ly expressed his opposition to the project, also spoke at the meeting. “That would definitely con- cern me that this type of facility is being geared towards longer-term stays that we see in Scarborough on Kingston Road, refugees and such,” he said. “Certainly, I don’t think that’s appropriate for the Dunbarton neighbourhood.” Several speakers also said the location was bad because it was close to a rail line. “If I was renting a room in this building I’d ask for my money back because there is no way you’d get any sleep,” said Vern Bruce. Residents also expressed con- cern with the size of the lot and that the area isn’t right for the application because it lacks the amenities normally associated with a hotel, such as restaurants and shops. Although not in support of the application, Ward 2 City Council- lor Doug Dickerson expressed his disagreement with the speakers. “I don’t believe we can dictate whether someone can stay for a week or a day. Call them transients or whatnot, I call them human be- ings,” he said, a tinge of anger in his voice. Coun. Dickerson said his big- gest issue was the size of the lot. “What are the valid reasons for not wanting it there? The valid reasons are twofold: one, the over- development of the site and the parking issue,” he said. “I’m not going to support this tonight. It’s the right idea in the wrong spot.” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner acknowledged Pickering needs another hotel, but not there. “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head to put this on this site when our goal is to intensify our downtown core,” he said. Other councillors did express the same concerns raised by resi- dents. “It’s being sold to council as a hotel when the intent is for longer- term tenants,” said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. No one spoke on behalf of the numbered company that made the application. No member of committee supported the applica- tion.

OVER 27 YEARS IN BUSINESS! ✦ Pickering from page 1 Pickering raises concerns with Dunbarton hotel proposal quarters, where police who work in the courts and some Crown attorneys maintain offices, said Glenn Kippen, director of support services. That could add an extra 130 spaces. It’s the third time addi- tional costs have been added to the new headquarters at Rossland Road and Garden Street in north Whitby. After council guaranteed Durham residents that the build- ing would not exceed $67.7 million, a $1.9-million new phone system was added, along with the $14.5-million parking garage, and now the addition onto the garage, for a grand total of $86.8 million. The move received a tie vote at committee, and there- fore lost, but will now go to council on May 4 to be de- bated. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson insisted that the $1.5 million the Province contributed to the new ga- rage, plus the $3.6 million to $4.8 million in lease revenue from the courts remaining in the existing building (de- pending on how long they stay) are offsetting the cost of the garage. Adding the spots on now, while all the equipment and construction workers are in place, will save the Region almost $500,000, the re- port said. Some council- lors don’t buy it. Spending almost $3 million to ac- commodate the extra staff for three or four years until a new Durham courthouse is built and the exist- ing building is torn down to reveal more parking spots is an overly costly short-term proposition they said. “I see this cer- tainly as some- thing that was overlooked,” said Clarington Coun- cillor Charlie Trim. Mr. Anderson maintained that the $2.7 million would be “no tax increase, no tax impact to the resi- dents of Durham.” But those funds — and those used on all the other additions to the new build- ing and garage — are coming from “raiding other regional accounts” of money that could have been used else- where, said Oshawa Coun. Brian Nicholson. Even if the additional spots are built, it’s not the last of the Region’s parking woes: The new headquarters will be at maximum capacity by 2007. That means the new head- quarters will have to be ex- panded to accommodate any more people. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 29, 2005 PAGE 5 A/P AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING 5 ALOMAR ST.

When the $14.5-million parking garage was first being debated, staff proposed spending only $3.7 million on a temporary lot across the road from headquarters on land owned by the police and Province. But Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle said a “world-class established business” wanted to build office towers there, and that his council would not approve any site plans for parking. Now, the mayor said, the deal has fallen though. “I talked to the regional chairman about getting devel- opment there and he said no,” Mayor Brunelle said. “Those people have decided to go elsewhere.” Regional Chairman Roger Anderson denied the state- ment, saying he only said it would be very hard to get the police and Crown attorney off the property. Land deal falls through Scott Crawford P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 29, 2005 durhamregion.com EDITORIAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR Towe r, bridge would bring financial boom The sky could to be the limit where the Pickering city core is concerned. The downtown core has received plenty of attention the past few years, with the latest bit of vision unveiled recently amidst a tower of optimism. Pickering’s corporate promotions and economic development office has gone public with a pro- posed 20-storey high office tower for the southwest parking lot at the Pickering Town Centre. Offering more than 200,000 square feet of space, the concept is no doubt a long way from reality, but taken with a number of other projects, it could be an important piece of an economic boom for the city. Pickering has found itself in a tough spot the past few years, given the lack of developable land available to it as compared to other municipalities in Durham. Which, of course, means the tax base upon which to draw City revenues will remain virtually stagnant until the Seaton community eventually takes shape. Hence the City’s focus these past few years on intensification in the core area. Already that has paid off with the new office building to the east of the town centre and some infilling of new residential units all around that area. The final and probably most important link in the whole puzzle, however, is the proposed pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401 from the Pickering GO station to either the proposed office tower or to the town centre parking lot. Councillors recently added $300,000 for the bridge to the budget and if they can find the necessary private partnership to go with provincial funding, it could bring untold economic benefits to Pickering. It will turn upside down the old standard of Pickering resi- dents commuting to Toronto each day. With a fixed link over the highway, Toronto residents (for that matter, those in the east end of Durham too) could hop off the GO, skip across the highway and be at their desk without fighting crowds, traffic or any other morning hassles. It will also certainly bring more foot traffic to the area for shopping, dining and any of the many cultural events held each year around the civic centre. Pickering has much to gain by developing a strong down- town core area. It will bring more dollars to the tax base, boost the local economy and allow Pickering residents to live and work here at home. We all play a role in getting good government To the editor: Someone once said, “We get the government we deserve.” We’re all part of the problem and we’re all part of the solution. To o many of us think that the government is someone else. We are the government. If we don’t get involved, if we don’t speak up, if we don’t contribute financially to the political pro- cess, if we don’t take the time to get informed, and if we don’t exercise our democratic right to vote, then we deserve what we get. And what we got took advantage of our ignorance and apathy for its own gains. All political parties desire power over anything else, with slightly differing political views. Our job as members of the electorate is to be careful about whom we elect, to know their agendas, and to hold them accountable on a regular basis. Eight more months of this government are not going to change the fact that we need to change the political party running the government. More importantly, we need to change ourselves. Otherwise, we’ll only get the government we deserve.

Speak before Pickering budget is passed Monday F or municipal taxpayers in Pickering, Monday is one of the most impor- tant days of the year. It’s when council passes the 2005 bud- get and decides how much taxes are going to be, as well as what projects are going to be funded. How much do residents want to pay? What services do they want the City to offer? What capital projects do they want done this year? Time is running out to let council know. In the draft budget released a month ago, staff recommended a 6.7-per cent increase, which would have meant a $60 increase on the City portion of tax bills. Council wants that decreased to 5.5 per cent and on Monday we find out if that was achieved and at what cost. Did staff decide to fund more of the capital projects through debt financing? Did road repair work in the north get deferred for yet another year? Is the City going to use a chunk of the $2.5 million it received as part of a legal settlement to re- move agricultural easements from some properties in the agricultural preserve? The last option was the one advocated by many councillors to not only lower the tax increase, but also to pay for a wish list of additional projects. Projects such as $300,000 for design work on a proposed pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 401. The de- sign and construction is expected to cost $3 million, with the City already having received a $1 million grant from the pro- vincial government. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner has been advocating for the proj- ect for years and said the money is needed to get the project moving and spur inten- sification in the downtown core, such as an office tower the City recently began marketing. But the decision on whether the bridge gets the money isn’t a done deal yet. Resi- dents can still let their councillors know if they want the equivalent of about a one per cent tax hike going to help fund the project. Residents can also let council know if they want half of the easement settlement spent all at once or if it should be spread over several years or kept for a specific project. Council makes the final decisions Mon- day night but they make them based on what they have heard from residents and what they feel are the best decisions for Pickering and its citizens.

For photo reprint details see ‘customer service’ at durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER Metroland Durham Region Media Group Local hearing one of only four in the province By Jillian Follert Staff Writer DURHAM — Supporters of the Province’s proposed smoking ban flocked to Oshawa last Friday to voice their opinions at one of four public hearings on the controversial legislation. Members of the Economic and Finance Committee, including Durham MPP John O’To ole, heard from high school students, business owners, health-care providers and lobby groups over the course of the six-hour meeting, with the majority speaking out in favour of the Smoke Free Ontario Act. If passed, the act would prohibit smoking in all Ontario workplaces and public places, including bars, restaurants, casinos and le- gion halls. Advocates are also pushing for a ban on the “powerwall” tobacco displays found at most convenience stores. “Tobacco products featured alongside candy and snack foods create the impression that smoking is socially acceptable,” said Carolyn MacDonald, speaking on behalf of the Durham Lives! Council for a Smoke Free Durham Region. “There is also evidence available to show that tobacco advertising and promotion does actually increase to- bacco use.” As well as addressing the advertising issue, members of the local council are hope- ful that province-wide legislation will close some of the gaps in Durham’s bylaw, such as exemptions for long-term-care facilities, bingo halls, casinos and legion halls. In a letter submitted at the hearing, Don Vipond, president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 152, in Brooklin, dismissed con- cerns from those who say legions should be exempt from the ban, citing the success of a total smoking ban implemented at his branch last June. “It’s worked out great for us.... our rev- enue is up, we have members who left com- ing back, we have spouses coming in that wouldn’t come in before,” he said. “There are always a few objections to these things, but people get used to it. The government should go ahead with the legislation.” While all presenters agreed on the need for some kind of legislation, many had amend- ments to offer. Douglas Needham, president Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA), which represents hundreds of local members, stressed that those business own- ers who have already built designated smok- ing rooms to comply with municipal bylaws, should be allowed to keep them until 2010. He also asked that government-sponsored smoking cessation programs be given more time to take hold. “There is still 20 per cent of the Canadian adult population that smokes, and a higher proportion of them are the clientele found in bars, pubs and taverns,” he said. “The indus- try is in a terrible slump right now.... It would make more sense to reduce the number of smokers before we implement legislation like this.” The committee held four public hearings on the proposed legislation this month: two in Toronto, one in Oshawa and one in Till- sonburg. Written submissions are still being accepted until Friday, April 29. Visit www. ontla.on.ca for more information.

The program, Gear Girls, provides an opportunity for girls to experience the world of engineering and machining through hands- on projects and activities in a fun, innovative environ- ment. The one-week sum- mer program encourages girls to consider careers in these non-traditional fields. Gear Girls is offered at two times and locations: YWCA Durham on McGrigor Street in Oshawa from July 11 to 15, and the Durham College Whitby campus from Aug. 8 to 12. The cost is $100.

Girls can camp this summer infodurhamregion.com Higher enrolment, provincial dollars needed to balance By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s post-secondary institu- tions are counting on more provincial funding and higher enrollment to produce balanced budgets for the coming year. The Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology boards of governors ap- proved the 2005/06 budgets at a recent meeting in Oshawa. However both will come back to the boards to formulate a Plan B if the university does not receive $5.5 million and the college $1.8 million from the government in transition and Rae review funding, as the budgets assume. In addition, to help eliminate a projected $3.26 million DC deficit, The PIC Group, DC’s quality-training company, will have to kick in $2 million. “The (UOIT) budget as presented here is balanced if, and only if, there is transition money,” Sheldon Levy, vice-president of finance and strategy, told the board. However, the university budget also hinges on an enrolment estimate of 2,841 full-time-equivalent students next year and $1 million resulting from Bob Rae’s review of the post-secondary system. UOIT of- ficials believe the latter is a lock, since it assumes the upcoming provincial budget will provide 25 per cent of the Rae funding recommendations. Officials acknowledge that the enrolment esti- mate is a bit optimistic. In making its case to the Province for more transition funding, next year’s UOIT student estimate has already been lowered by about 250 students since last July. Lower student numbers would create a multimillion-dollar short- fall due to reduced grants and tuition revenue. “It’s not a big stretch; it’s at the ambitious end of the range we expected,” Richard Levin, vice-presi- dent of strategic enrolment management, said in an interview, noting that UOIT’s population is growing at 10 times the rate of the rest of the university sys- tem. The budget offers an option for the board if the $4.5 million in transition funding isn’t forthcoming, suggesting the money could be borrowed from the capital funds set aside to complete the engineering building. If that were to occur, the budget docu- ment states academic areas would receive less fund- ing than required in 2006/07, resulting in “radical changes to course delivery.” However, that’s a worst-case scenario and Mr. Levy said even if it played out, there would be no impact on finishing the engineering building. “It would have no effect because right now we have the funding for the engineering building but you’re not going to use it all right now,” he said in an interview. He stressed that the board of governors would have the final say on the course of action. Mr. Levy told the board Premier Dalton McGuinty recently indicated the Province will present a “post- secondary budget”, expected next month, that would see the facilities receive much more than the con- servative amounts the budgets forecast. Te rry Caputo, director, financial services, at the meeting said the PIC contribution to the DC budget “bridges the gap of what we are funded and what we should be funded.” In last year’s provincial funding, DC’s balanced budget was actually a hindrance, officials said, as colleges with a deficit received a larger funding share. The boards unanimously approved the bud- gets, with the understanding that both will come back for approval if the assumptions don’t play out. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 29, 2005 PAGE 15 A/P SUMMER SHORTS 2005 COLLEGE ANIMATION CHARACTER BUILDING DRAWING MASTER CLASSES MOVIE MAKING MULTIMEDIA PAINTING PHOTOGRAPHY For more information visit http://dca.durhamc.on.ca. or call Charlotte Hale at 905.721.3111 ext.2281.

At 55, his rail-thin body shows a lifetime of struggles. But it is here in a filthy but tidy one-bedroom apartment on Bloor Street East in south Oshawa that Mr. McKenzie finds security, safety and stability. This is home for him. Mr. McKenzie can’t handle large groups of people, and has held more than 100 jobs in his life. He used to be married. He doesn’t see his two children, 26 and 23, any- more. “I used to be a proud man,” he said. “But it’s kind of disappeared.” He’s been through the shelter system, and lived in rooming hous- es where he’d come home from work and find all of his possessions stolen. He’s lived on the street, too, keeping out of sight at night to avoid getting beaten up. But he prides himself on having never been ar- rested or done drugs. Now, living on disability support and receiving help from the Ca- nadian Mental Health Association, he ekes out a meagre but seem- ingly happy life with his two cats, Buddy and Storm. They, and once- a-month treats such as ribs or ham- burger, and reading seven books a week, keep him sane, he says. Mr. McKenzie is just one of thou- sands in Durham living in subsi- dized housing. But, as many as there are who have roofs over their heads, there are more on a huge waiting list, and it can be years be- fore an affordable home becomes available. “We have not built housing for people on fixed incomes in 10 years,” said Ed Goerz, executive di- rector of Cornerstone Community Association, which provides sup- port and housing services to the homeless and those out of prison. “The private sector really cannot make a profit — there’s no return on investment.” There are 6,374 subsidized units in the region, plus some run through private landlords. The Re- gion of Durham owns and manages 1,276, with the rest owned by non- profit organizations and co-opera- tives that receive funding from the Region, said Shirley Van Steen, di- rector of housing services. The units are a mix of low- and high-rise apartments and town- houses, and people from diverse backgrounds live in them, she added. Social housing was made a local responsibility by the provin- cial Conservatives in the late 1990s. In 2004, it cost the Region around $31.7 million to run the program, and will cost $32.1 million in 2005. And, what the Region received when housing was downloaded was not pretty — or cheap. “The Province turned over a portfolio that has a severe under- funding in capital reserves,” Ms. Va n Steen said, adding that more than $100 million is going to be needed for repairs to buildings in the near future. “This is an emerg- ing issue the Province hasn’t dealt with in any meaningful way. “We’ve heard absolutely nothing from them. It’s kind of a code of silence.” While serving the existing stock is one issue, new buildings are also desperately needed; there are 4,000 households waiting for housing in Durham, 200 of those being victims of family violence. “If everyone moved out of those units today, we still wouldn’t be able to house all those on our wait- ing list,” Mr. Goerz said, calling the situation a crisis. And, as people toil away while on a waiting list, they live in substan- dard housing, or housing that’s too expensive. They couch surf with friends and family. Some run out of options and end up on the street, where their situations can quickly deteriorate. There are emergency shelters and motel programs, and orga- nizations that help with rent ar- rears and utility bills in the winter months, but these are considered short-term, band-aid solutions to the real issue of not having enough units, officials say. Housing was a big election issue and budget promise of the federal Liberals, but nothing has been announced yet. The Liberals did announce recently that $150 million in what was once allotted to affordable housing will now be used as rent supplements, but the Province has to match the funds — and it hasn’t yet. “It’s not just people who are on social assistance — they’re on pen- sions or making minimum wage,” said Susan Hanley, manager of housing operations for the Durham Non-Profit Housing Corporation. “If they had a half-decent place to live that they can afford, then the sky’s the limit.” Spending a good part of her childhood in subsidized housing changed the life of Rhonda Jessup. When she was seven, Ms. Jessup’s parents divorced, suddenly leaving her stay-at-home mom in need of a job to support two young children. Working as a waitress brought in funds, but it was not a “living wage,” Ms. Jessup said. She remembers the day when the family found out they got into subsidized housing near down- town Oshawa. Her mom got off the phone, jumped up and yelled, “We got it!” “Without that, we really would have been in some tiny place, some roach-infested place, or we would have had to move around a lot,” said Ms. Jessup, now the public ser- vices manager at the Whitby Public Library. She’s always been grateful for living in a place with market rent units as well — nobody except im- mediate family knew they were in subsidized housing and it really helped with the prejudice. “Low rent doesn’t mean crimi- nal,” Ms. Jessup said. “Especially if you’re a child and you hear all the time that it’s a self-fulfilling proph- ecy.” Sara Belfour calls her subsidized unit on Ritson Road in south Os- hawa a lifesaver. Six months pregnant with twins, she, her husband and young daughter were flooded out of their Oakville basement apartment in 2000. Left with no insurance and no belongings, the family was forced to move in with her husband’s family in Oshawa and luckily got into their rent-geared-to-income townhouse shortly afterward. “We didn’t have any savings to begin with. We were living pay- cheque to paycheque,” she said. They gave themselves five years to get back on their feet, and are plan- ning to move out by the end of the year. They’ve dug themselves out of debt, are about to finish school and have secured new jobs, all while taking part in community programs such as preschool, reading groups and summer camps. “You do what you have to do to get by and survive,” she said.

Lean on Garaga: (905) 686-6195 End the inconvenience of getting out of your car to open the garage door. Get a door opener professionally installed by your Garaga dealer. LiftMaster Autograph Door Systems Ajax • Toronto • Durham Dan Hill When was the last time you performed a routine preventive maintenance on your garage door opener? Although your garage door opener is a great convenience and works well, almost all home owners take it for granted and overlook a monthly maintenance check. Neglecting regular maintenance of your garage door opener could potentially cause severe injury to family members. Dan Hill from Autograph Door Systems brought this very interesting fact to our attention: According to a recent US survey, 45 per cent of homeowners who have a garage use the garage door as the primary point of entry into their home. In addition, a separate survey indicates that 71 per cent use their garage door openers (GDO’s) to enter their homes. This seems like enough evidence to convince anyone about the importance of regular maintenance for their garage doors and openers. An important thing to remember is that a GDO can easily raise a 150 to 200 lbs. (65 to 90 kg.) residential door. Therefore, when a door reverses as it is closing, does it not seem logical that the door opening mechanism be in top notch shape? Listed are routine preventive maintenance tips from Dan Hill: 1.) Keep remote controls away from children and do not let them play with the wall control panel. 2.) Twice a year, you should deactivate the automatic opener (while the door is in the closed position). This can be done by pulling on the red cord or pull rope. 3.) Balance test: once the door is in ‘manual mode’ check to see if it is properly balanced. You should be able to lift the door easily with only two fi ngers. If this is not the case you may have a cable or spring malfunction. Call your local Garaga How safe is your garage door opener? dealer or speak with a qualifi ed garage door installer immediately. 4.) Visual inspection of rails, chain/belt and mounting brackets include horizontal rails which should always be parallel to insure that the door operates properly. 5.) Lubrication of all metal parts twice a year with proper metal lubricant (not WD-40) same applies for weather seals making sure to use a silicone based lubricant. This will add years of worry free operation to your garage door. 6.) Reversal test: Make sure that the reversal mechanisms of your garage door opener are functional. Since 1996, all garage door openers are equipped with two safety systems. The fi rst one is a photo cell system that will stop and reverse the motion of the door whenever a person or an object passes through the light beam. The second system will stop and reverse the door automatically if it senses any resistance while the door is closing. “Regular maintenance for a home owner should cost about $70 for a tune up (cost for parts is additional),” says Dan Hill from Autograph Door Systems. He concluded with the well-known saying: “It’s better to be safe than sorry”.

Step 1: Decide where you’d like to put a few planters. Remember that they are versatile and can be moved around or grouped together for that WOW factor! Step 2: Pick out the style of pots that match your outdoor decorating theme. Pots come in all sizes and material. You have the choice of plastic, metal, ceramic, clay, fi berglass, cast iron or cement. The choice of styles and sizes will be decided by a combination of factors such as budget, decorating themes and time for maintenance. Step 3: Picking the right soil for the containers. Not too light, not to heavy. Our Premium Garden Gallery Planter Soil has been designed for outdoor planters, urns, pots and window boxes. Step 4: Determining the lighting condition each planter will receive. Will it be lots of hot sun, shady all day, or morning sun only? Step 5: Picking out the plants. This is when the fun begins. We have a wide range of pre-planted containers if you’re more interested in an instant show and/or don’t have the time to assemble your own containers. When picking out plants it is important to have an idea of what you want to create. Purchase plants that will thrive on the lighting conditions they’ll be exposed to. Don’t be sidetracked by all the cute and colourful fl owers you’ll see. Some of your themes might be: A) Evening Planters: can be enjoyed in low lighting condition during the evening. B) Tropical Explosions: adding a touch of the tropics with a hibiscus, croton, mandervilla added to your annual fl owers. C) Downunder Dynamite: For a hot dry spot a larger container with a New Zealand F lax (Phormium) and Australia Fan Flower (Scaveola), combined with other sun loving annuals such as the heat tolerant Dragon Wing Begonias. D) Perennial Powerhouse: hot heucheras, cool hostas, blue fescue grasses, illumination cascading vinca vines can be combined with two to three classic annuals for all season colour and texture. E)Scented Fragrance: vanilla scented helitrope, sweet woodruff, helichrysum, evening scented stocks, lemon verbena, allysum, jazz it all up with a jasmine growing up a decorative obelisk in the center of your container!! F)Edible Concoctions: mad scientist at work!! Try a few herbs such as purple basil, tricolour sage, triple curled parsley, tiny tim patio tomato, everbearing strawberries, with a few classic geraniums for a colourful/edible combo. Step 6: Planting your creation. Make sure your container has drainage holes. Fill the Container planting: Head turning combinations at Pine Ridge Garden Gallery bottom half of the container with Garden Gallery Planter Soil. Add some Soil Sponge (coconut husk fi ber water absorbing material) to the soil. Then fi ll the balance of the container with more planter soil with a handful or two of slow releasing fertilizer 14-14- 14. Leave about one inch of the pot lip above the soil level (this helps keep the water in the pot). It’s time to plant. Plant the center items fi rst. Insert an obelisk at this point if needed, then plant the remaining plants out to the edge of the pot. Immediately water with a combination of water and Grow 50 (transplanting fertilizer). Water your containers at regular intervals (every one to three days). Two weeks later repeat the fertilizing with the Grow 50 fertilizer to create great roots. During the summer months fertilize once a week with Garden Gallery Grow 36 (encourages blooms). That great feeling you get right after you fi nish planting your containers will be dwarfed by the feeling you’ll get deep inside when strangers praise you on your glorious containers this summer.

BEDROOM SUITES* NEW NASA FOAM By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Despite a pending legal battle, Ber- rywoods Farms Inc. is get- ting an Ontario Municipal Board hearing on its plan to quadruple the size of Green- wood. The hearing for the Ber- rywoods expansion that would see the addition of 381 homes in the hamlet has been scheduled for Nov. 7. It is expected to run six weeks. At a pre-hearing confer- ence Friday morning Tom Lederer, Berrywoods’ law- yer, argued an OMB hearing should be scheduled to get the issue moving. “Our client has rights too, the right to a reasonable hearing date,” he said. “To simply sit on this for another three months or six months is simply inappropriate.” Stan Stein, the lawyer representing the Greater To ronto Airports Authority, asked for a time to be re- served in November but not set, in order to give enough opportunity for the applica- tion filed in divisional court to be settled. The issue has been de- layed since an earlier Supe- rior Court application was abandoned in February. It had been asking the court to say the OMB shouldn’t be hearing the matter because of the Province’s greenbelt legislation. The new applica- tion was filed in divisional court earlier this month by the GTAA and Transport Canada. They are asking for a declaration that the appli- cations made by Berrywoods “a re a nullity and no effect” under the Greenbelt Protec- tion Act 2004. “We do have the right to choose the appropriate forum in which we think the matter should be heard,” Mr. Stein said. Berrywoods, also known as Tribute Homes/Runny- mede Development Cor- poration, filed applications with the City March 19 to amend a zoning bylaw and to request approval of a draft plan of subdivision. Pickering never dealt with the application because it felt it fell under the Prov- ince’s Greenbelt Protection Act and the moratorium on land-use planning changes outside urban settlements that accompanied it. The legislation was intro- duced in December 2003 but didn’t become law until June. The Region of Durham dealt with the application until the bill became law. Transport Canada and the GTAA became involved be- cause the application falls in the noise contour area of the proposed Pickering airport. At the first pre-hearing conference, Mr. Stein said the proposed development would be right under the extension of the main east- west runway and its resi- dents would be living in an environment unsuitable for people. “The two are incompat- ible,” he said. OMB member Frederic Fa rrell set the hearing date and two more pre-hearing dates. “This board member be- lieves fixed target dates have to be set or nothing will hap- pen,” he said. The next pre-hearing date is June 29 at 11 a.m. with an- other scheduled for Sept. 1. Now that a hearing date has been set, the City must begin work on the applica- tion. Council has to take a position on the application and planning and develop- ment staff have to do all the technical reviews and stud- ies. Notre Dame brings experts together for a day By Brandon Mastromartino Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Companies, organizations, post-sec- ondary facilities and other groups from all over Dur- ham gathered last week for a career day at Notre Dame. Students at the Catho- lic secondary school had the chance to visit and ask questions of industry rep- resentatives. For some, it was a chance to gather information on the career they want to pursue. For others, it was an excuse to get out of class and talk with their friends. “I like the pens,” says Jesse Bulhoes on the nov- elty light up pens the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology handed out. “Career day is cool. Es- pecially the people from the cruise ship” adds Ali- son Santos, who hopes to have a career in the travel industry. Even the students un- decided on a future career found the day to be a good experience. “There are many inter- esting things here. A great variety” says Andrew Cha- put. It wasn’t just the students doing the learning either, as teachers also found it a learning experience. “This is a fabulous event for youth in our region,” says Clifford Azavedo, vocal music director at the school. “It is wonderful to see so many opportunities avail- able to them.” English and media teach- er Greg Kieszkowski says the event points to a strong community. “It is wonderful to see the Durham community care about the future of our young people,” he says. Among the booths were the YMCA Employment Services, Ajax and Picker- ing fire services, UOIT and Ryerson universities, and the News Advertiser. “It is a good chance for the students to discover non-mainstream careers such as mine, the trapper, and the funeral director,” says Melissa Church, a teacher of the deaf with the Durham Catholic District School Board. “It really opens up doors for students; they might not have even heard of these careers before.” Due to the success of the day, preparations are already underway for next year. durhamregion.com THE NEWS ADVERTISER, APRIL 29, 2005 PAGE 23 P We are the Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Services Centre (PAW) workers. We have been providing animal services, taking care of stray animals and family pets in our communities, for the past 20 years. The PAW agreement between the three municipalities started in 1985 to provide better co-ordinated quality services to residents of Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. The current contract between the municipalities expires on December 31, 2005. The City of Pickering is seriously considering opting out of the PAW agreement. Senior management is in the process of obtaining quotes from a private animal services company for contracting out of animal services. We need your help to stop the city’s politicians from privatizing and dismantling quality public services. Help us continue our work for the residents of Pickering. Some things to consider about the service we have provided for 20 years: -the shelter is only 13 miles to Whitby to retrieve your family pet or adopt a new pet. (The contractor’s shelter is 33 miles away in Aurora). -the shelter is open Monday to Saturday to answer your phone calls or emails if you need some advice or help. -we provide by-law enforcement, picking up of stray dogs and cats, picking up animals that have been unfortunately killed on the road, attending to injured dogs and cats as well as wildlife, a no charge quarantine isolation and park patrols. We provide these services 6 days a week. -we also provide an after hours emergency service 7 days a week. Will all these services be provided using a contractor? Pickering animal lovers and residents deserve quality public services. Please call and/or e-mail your local politicians and tell them you want your animal services to be provided by dedicated public workers from the PAW program, and ask them to stop the privatization of animal services.

Pickering resident Marcia Masino’s one-woman show of 21 watercolour, oil paint- ings and collages continues until May 24 at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Ma- gill Dr. in Ajax. The collec- tion of musically-inspired pieces represent the styles of music that can be seen. “I wanted to find how you visually capture sound,” began Masino, “That is why you will see a lot of jazz-in- spired pieces.” Masino has done numer- ous magazine and book covers, along with illustra- tions and her artwork can be seen in many private col- lections across Canada and the U.S. She likes variety in her subjects. “The typical visual art has been done, I like to do and explore all elements be- cause if I stayed in one area and one subject I would get bored. I like to go all over the map,” she says. The exhibit is open Mon- day to Friday from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. In addition, her work is online at www.geocities. com/marciamasino2.

The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy Directed By: Garth Jen- nings Starring: Martin Freeman, Zooey Deschanel, Mos Def and Sam Rockwell Rated: PG Everyone has their bad days, but for Arthur Dent, this one goes beyond a bad day. When he learns that a friend of his is actually an alien with advanced knowl- edge of Earth’s impending destruction, he is transport- ed off the planet seconds before it explodes. And as if that’s not enough, throw in being wanted by inter- galactic police, dealing with an insane electronic encyclopedia, a chronically depressed robot, and no tea anywhere to soothe his nerves. It all ends up being a search for the meaning of life and the greatest adven- ture one man ever had. Also opening up this weekend: xXx: State of the Union.

Page 38 Durham all-stars shine on court ‘AAAA’ hoops contest was close to the end By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The stars of Dur- ham high school senior boys’ basketball shone brightly in an evening devoted to the region’s best. The annual all-star contests — one for ‘AAAA’ schools as well as a ‘AAA’ and ‘AA’ schools combined game — played to a full to over- flowing crowd at St. Mary Catho- lic Secondary School in Pickering We dnesday night. The crowd took in not only the games, but also the hugely popular slam-dunk and 3- point shooting contests, featur- ing eight dunk specialists and 24 sharpshooters. And, no one left disappointed. The format remained the same, where coaches chose players for two teams: Team Black and Team White. It proved to be right on the mark, especially based on the parity between the squads in the ‘AAAA’ showcase. The high- scoring, high-intensity affair was close throughout. In the end, Te am White hit its shots down the stretch to post a 122-117 victory. Te am White co-coach Kirk Sales- man, of Pickering High School, who was on the bench with Jason McKenzie of Pine Ridge Second- ary School, was amazed by how equal the sides were. “The teams were very balanced and that made it an up-and-down game in terms of scoring and in terms of the matchups on the court,” says Salesman, a Picker- ing High alumnus and a former Te am Canada and U.S. collegiate player. Most difficult, Salesman noted, was divvying up the minutes among the 12 players to ensure everyone received a fair portion of playing time. “It’s an all-star game, so every- one wants to play. You want to keep everyone happy,” says Sales- man, who was on the Trojans’ bench this year with long-time coach Ron Parfitt. As someone who’s played ball at a high level and as someone who played in Durham, Salesman compares the calibre of the cur- rent all-stars favourably to those who played in his era. “I was impressed,” he says. “The guys look good fundamentally. In the 90s when I played, we were more ferocious and maybe had a little more height. We were more aggressive. Right now, they play more of an up-and-down game and the guys are fundamentally sound.” But mostly, coaching in his first all-star game was an enjoyable experience, says Salesman. “I loved it. All the guys came up to me after the game and told me ‘good game’,” he says. Pickering High School Trojans’ guard Lyndon Rainford earned most valuable player honours in the ‘AAAA’ contest, showing not only a good shooting range, but his ability to go to the offensive boards with abandon. All told, Rainford counted 22 points in the winning cause for Team White. After transferring from Scarbor- ough’s Stephen Leacock school a year ago, Rainford has been an of- fensive force with the Trojans this year. He was “proud” to not only win the MVP award, but also to play among the elite high school basketball players in the region. “It was fun. You want to show your skills, but to have a good time at the same time.” In addition to Rainford, two other Pickering High Trojans fin- ished in double figures for Team White. Forward Tim Cozier netted a game-high 25 points and Grade 10 guard Devoe Joseph finished with 11. St. Mary’s guard Duane Howard had 23 and Dunbarton High School Spartans’ Jovain Wil- son added 10. On the other side of the court, two other Trojans also scored in double figures for Team Black: Guard Stephen Lopez with 17 and guard Marcus Wong with 15. Kyle Johnson of J. Clarke Richardson led the team with 18 points. J. Clarke guard Tyrell Atkins added 15 and Ajax High centre Michael St. Rose chipped in with 12. Meanwhile, in the ‘AA’/’AAA’ all-star game, Team Black buried Te am White 102-63. Henry Street High School Hawks’ guard Mike Allicock led all scorers with 18 points for Team Black, followed by Leo J. Austin Wildcats’ cen- tre Terry Haweryluk with 14 and Wildcats’ teammate and guard Neil O’Sullivan with 13. Uxbridge Secondary Tigers’ centre Matt Fumerton and guard Mike Tomchick, from Oshawa’s Central Collegiate, scored 10 points apiece for Team White. A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Pickering High School’s Devoe Joseph, playing for Team White, keeps de- fensive tabs on Stephen Lopez, also from Pickering High, who suited up for Team Black in the annual Durham all-star high school basketball ‘AAAA’ game. Joseph — the 3-point shooting contest winner — helped Team White to a 122-117 victory. Joseph top marksman in 3-point shootout J. Clarke dunker slams down title DURHAM — A new 3-point shooting champion was crowned at the Durham all-star games at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering on Wednesday evening. Precocious Pickering High School Grade 10 guard Devoe Jo- seph wrested the title away from defending champion G.L. Roberts Lakers’ Matt Dewson at the event. It was held just prior to the ‘AAAA’ all-star game. Joseph, who also played for the ‘AAAA’ Team White all-stars, knocked down 14 points out of a possible 25 to unseat Dewson, who came up one point short with 13 in the second round. Dewson ended up earning a share of second place with Pickering High’s Travis Thom- as, who also amassed 13 points in the final round. Joseph says having fun was the order of the day for the shooting contest, adding that he wasn’t tense with the title on the line. “No, not really,” says Joseph, put- ting aside the notion. “I just wanted to go out there and have fun.” He acknowledged, however, that he was pushed throughout the competition by a fine assortment of shooters — 24 all told. “There were some pretty good shooters. All those guys could shoot,” says Joseph. Joseph advanced to the second round tied with four others after an opening-round score of 11. He was joined by Thomas, who was the top scorer in the first round with 15, followed by Emerson Brooks of All Saints of Whitby with 12; Dewson, Adam Crooks of Oshawa’s O’Neill Collegiate and David Reid of G.L. Roberts also scored 11. Meanwhile, in the slam-dunk contest, Justin Darlington of J. Clarke Richardson achieved lift- off over two basketball racks and slammed it down with authority to capture the slam-dunk crown. Eight dunkers performed their aerial acts for an appreciative crowd, with three advancing to the final round. Darryl Palmer of Oshawa’s Mon- signor Paul Dwyer captured sec- ond spot, followed by Nick Jarrett of J. Clarke Richardson in third spot.

Starting the season last October, the Roadrunners played early Sunday morning games at the Salem Soccer Centre and finished up a close sec- ond place in the season standings. But, having just missed the cham- pionship in a tournament at the new Darlington indoor soccer facility over the March break, after four consecu- tive undefeated games, the Ajax Unit- ed girls were not going to settle for second best this time. The Roadrunners dominated the Cup tournament en route to winning the championship game against the Pickering Green Lightning. No score was reported. Te am members are Alannah Jelic, Alicia Rose, Brittney Johnson, Cayley Fitzpatrick, Kenzie Barry, Kylie King, Ky ra Millar Ricci, Mina Jabalameli, Olivia Hartley, Rachel Matthews, Rachel Smith and Samantha Van- drunen. Marty Rose and Kevin Barry coach the team. Now looking forward to the sum- mer season, the Ajax United Ajax Mazda Roadrunners have begun out- door practices and will be playing in the Durham Girls’ Soccer League.
