Pickeringrobesjoint servic s with Aj*ax p e = Study to look at partnerships in bid to save money BY MARIANNE TAKACS Staff Writer (PICKERING — Town council has decided to press on with plans to investigate the amalgamation of services with Ajax even though the Province has turned down a joint application from the two Towns for money to fund the study. Pickering councillors Monday approved the Ajax and Pickering Joint Services Study, which sets out a work program to look at the ser- vices the two municipalities could partner on in the future. The docu-' ment has also been adopted by Ajax council's general government com- mittee, but has yet to be approved by council itself, which is expected to consider the matter March 15. The study would be carried out in three phases. Phase one would analyze which municipal services could be amalgamated; phase two would develop an implementation strategy for joint service delivery in the chosen areas; and phase three would involve follow-up monitor ing of joint services to recommend needed changes. Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner will oversee Pickering's in- volvement in the process. .

Murder trial hears sex videotape part of accused's plans , t BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer Days before her death, Laurie Anne White was blackmailed by ex- boyfriend Jesse Watkins with a videotape of the couple having sex and told "if he can't have her no- body could," a friend has testified. Keri Lorefice told court that in July 1996 Ms. White said she had broken up with Mr. Watkins, but in the weeks which followed "he would just not leave her alone. "Everywhere she would go he would follow (Ms. White). "He would constantly page her... Basically, he was harassing her, or stalk- ing her;' Mrs. Lorefice said. "She did mention on a few occasions that he said to her if he can't have her nobody could" The body of the 20 -year- old dental assistant was found in her bedroom at her parent's Pickering home with an elec(rical cord wrapped around her neck Oct. 8. 1996. Police initially believed the death was a hanging suicide, but later concluded she'd been strangled. Mr. Watkins, 26, of Pickering, was charged several months later and has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Five days before Ms. White's death, she revealed LAURIE WHITE_ Witness says ex-botifriend was 'stalking' her. to friends Mr. Watkins "had a videotape of the two of them having sex and black- mailed her;' threatening to send the tape to Ms. White's parents, Mrs. Lorefice testified. "I said to Laurie 'why don't you just tell your par- ents... there is a package coming to the house and out of respect for you don't open it.— Mrs. Lorefice said she was "shocked, in disbelief, questioning it;' when she learned of her friend's death.

"He specifically told me he was there no more than 10 minutes:" Mrs. Lorefice recalled. Mr. Watkins said "they got into an argument.

The only way the force could cut costs would be through trimming staff, Chief McAlpine said. Last year, the police department had a budget of about $59.5 million, the preliminary budget this year re- quests $68 million. "Eighty-four per cent of our bud- get is salary and benefits. After we're done buying cars and gas, there's not a whole lot left,” he noted. "The staff complement drives the budget. To make cuts, people would have to go" The chief said the department is running a surplus of about $2.2 mil- lion, but the final figures haven't been calculated. The drop in the crime rate for Durham was better than the five -per cent decline na- tionally in 1997. Crimes against persons, such as violent crimes like homicide, as- sault, robbery and threats, fell six per cent in Durham, compared to the national decline of 1.1 per cent in '97. Property crimes fell 7.4 per cent, while the national reduction was eight per cent. In 1998, the Durham Police re- sponded to 135,373 calls, generat- ing 42,688 incident reports. In Durham, the police charge an aver- age of 745 people a month. The clearance rate was 48 per cent, compared to the national rate of 46 per cent. One of the reasons for a higher clearance rate here is the assigning of officers to a particular arca for three years, Chief McAlpine said. Termed an 'ownership area', offi- cers are responsible for a specific geographic region in a community. Also this year, each community office will be getting more officers, he reported. The Clarington office will get two new officers, plus one traffic specialist, while Oshawa gets five Police force to shoulder blame on tax hike BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer Durham's police force will be singled out as the culprit for a Region tax increase in much the same way criminals are pointed out in a police line-up. Regional Council voted Wednesday to ask local munici- palities to show the Durham po- lice budget as a separate item on property tax hills to illustrate to ratepayers how much it costs to serve and protect them. And, the department's bud- get will be considered as a "stand-alone item" when the Region finalizes its 1999 spend- ing blueprint. The police department has submitted a preliminary budget of $68 million for this year, compared to a final 1998 allo- cation of $59.5 million. The addawrial money re- quested by the force would in- crease the regional portion of your property tax bill by five per cent if other departments hold the line on spending. Durham Council has set a guideline this year of no tax in- crease for areas covered by the Region, with the exception of provincially -downloaded ser- vices. Ajax Councillor Jim Mc- Master said it would he nearly impossible for other Region de- partments to trim enough money from their budgets to offset the spending increase the police force expects to incur. "It's getting to the point it's tough to get money out of our departments;" Coun. McMaster said. "Without police, staff will have to find (savings of) $4 mil- lion i to meet the icro euide- line). With police, they'll have to find $14 million. Well, good luck" Oshawa Councillor John Gray opposed treating the po- lice budget separately from those of the other Region de- partmcnts. "My belief is when you sep- arate out police and everything else is at zero, we're saying the minimum tax increase is five per cent" The budget needs to be "looked at in its totality. If there are decreases (by other depart- ments) to mitigate policing, so be it;" Coun. Gray said. But, Whitby Councillor Pat Perkins argued the police bud- get should be treated separately. "There's not enough fat to be trimmed (from other depart- ments) to give us the dollars for police.- The olice" new officers and two traffic special- ists. Whitby is getting four officers and a traffic specialist, Ajax-Pickcr- ing five officers and a traffic spe- cialist. The North Durham office is to get one or two new officers and a traffic specialist. A traffic specialist is to focus his efforts on traffic related matters, such as speeders and red-light run- ners. "Way more people are killed in traffic accidents than in crimes;' he noted. The chief said red-light cameras are something the force endorses. "We see technology as a tool we can use to increase the likelihood people will get caught without an increase in officers.- Having fficers"Having fewer officers means some days. we only do crisis polic- ing. We're very much at the barely adequate stage today. "There are citizen complaints we don't go to that we should go to. Fraud cases (involving businesses) we can't assign people to;" Chief .McAlpine added. There are sex assault cases that need to be investigated and the "homicide unit wants to go back to old cases, with new technology, we can't get to:' Add to that "noisy par- ties and the rowdies and we're chas- ing our tails all over town;' he said. , 9:, P PACE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, ,Mwch 12, 1999 N Editori I N E W S EDITORIAL & OPI.NIONS celetru;e the Futurer , DURHAM ADVERTISER MAR. 12, 1 9 9 9 1 774 i 1 ••• A tale of two towns and shared services A meeting of the minds by Pickering, Ajax officials should save taxpayers money Better late than never.

Many Ajax councillors have turned their thumbs down at even the notion of amalgamating the munici- pal corporations. Some have been reluc- tant to even entertain the possibility of shared services. That's changed. And that change is for the better. Pickering councillors Monday ap- proved the Ajax and Pickering Joint Ser- vices Study, which sets out a program to look at ways the two municipalities could partner in the future. Ajax coun- cil's general government committee en- dorsed the same study March 1, but it has yet to be approved by council, which is expected to consider the matter March 15. We urge Ajax council to rubber stamp the study next Monday, no matter how loudly Mayor Steve Parish might have protested March I when he inti- mated endorsing joint services is akin to inviting a hostile takeover by Pickering. Health Centro so elderly citizens wUh- out cars could visit ailing friends'? Elsewhere, planning departments in both towns should work together to de- velop a unified and seamless lakcshore recreational arra. No more need to trav- el to Toronto's harbour front. Pickering officials could tap into the expertise of their neighbours who de- vised the fabulously successful STAR$ (Saving Town of Ajax Real Dollar$) cost-cutting program. When it corner time for the two Towns to order salt for winter road maintenance, they might call for a joint tender to possibly save some money. Same goes for the purchase of munici- pal vehicles and other capital equip- ment. There are definitely savings that will result from sharing services. We're con- fident those savings can be found by civic officials when they sit down to share ideas. This is certainly a situation where two heads are better than one. Board shared buses, LETTERS TO Out of control To the editor: On Jan. 11, the mayor of Picker- ing and his six part-time council- lors voted themselves gencrows in- creases in benefits and pay which arc probably the best in Ontario with one dissenting vote. But, that single opponent, Councillor Dave Ryan, had just announced he's run- ning for Liberal MPP in this arca. Here is a partial list of what council members voted them- selves: pay increase to $20,000 for councillors and $50,000 for the mayor starting July 1, 2000; $3,600 mileage allowance; $6,000 conven- tion allowance; $3,600 typing ser- vice allowance; dental and pre- scription plan (100 per cent); vision THE EDITOR care; semi -private hospital beds; legal services; RRSP contributions; fax services; meals with guests cov- ered; retroactive pensions and bonuses. All of this will be paid for by the lowly taxpayer of Pickcr- ing. In the meantime we have sc- nioxs losing their homes because of high taxes, we have people with young families working in dough- nut shops, and we have fool banks. It's amazing politicians continue to think only of personal gain, to hell with the taxpayers. Do we need six part-time coun- cillors and a mayor to watch over approximately 75,000 people? It's time for us to get together and fire at least three of them. I also ask what would the reac- tion be if the Pickering branch of -- — -- -- — CUPE or the medical staff at Ajax- - Pickering hospital just decided to Catholic trustees vole their members some of the Stop putting brakes on plan to cut school transportation costs Sharing school buses to transport students to and from class could im- prove service and save millions for school boards across Ontario. That's what a recent report, submit- ted to the Ministry of Education and Training by an expert panel formed to review busing operations in the province, says of the way school trans- portation services should be delivered in the future. The Transportation Funding Re- view Committee is recommending public and separate school boards move toward joint delivery of school busing in their regions to reduce costs. It's an idea officials from Durham's public and separate school boards have discussed for several years now but have been unable to get off the ground. Durham District School Board trustees had hoped to implement a shared transportation system during the current school year. However, the initiative was delayed last summer Susan O'Neill Staff Writer pending approval by the Durham Catholic District School Board. Now roughly a year has passed and no progress has been made on the plan. The two boards have been unable to agree on the delivery of the integrated busing system which would essentially be based on a pilot project launched in Pickering in the fall of 1997. That pro- ject saw the boards adopt staggered start times at area schools to accom- modate a computer-generated trans- portation system allowing buses to serve both public and Catholic schools in the town. In a report to separate board trustees Monday, Walter Yewchyn, board su- perintendent of support services, indi- cated "immediate transportation im- provements" could be made if a joint system is adopted in Durham. He also said the Pickering pilot pro- ject was a success as the region's two school boards "shaved approximately $500,000 from their annual transporta- tion budgets" as a result of the initia- tive. And, based on that model, he said, "Similar savings can be achieved if the system is implemented in Ajax, Whit- by and Oshawa.,' But, rather than approve the rezom- mendation to get the shared busing ini- tiative moving, separate board trustees voted to refer the matter to the trans- portation committee for further review. It's about time the separate board stopped dragging its heels on the issue and started working with publi-. board officials to implement this worthwhile initiative this September. above benefits without consulting management'? But Pickering Coun- cil just does whatever it wishes with our money, including invest- ing $900,000 which disappeared off the books. Then, there's the new Town hall which we never needed. And, what- ever happened to amalgamation that was supposed to end overlap- ping services and excess deadwood politicians? There was thought of joining the three hydro commis- sions in Pickering, Ajax and Whit- by to oversee separate utilities op- erating out of three elaborate build- ings which are within five minutes from each other. That would save a little bit of money. But then some of Pickering's councillors sit on these hydro boards. Why would they want amalgamations? Sad -to say the culture of raisings - taxes not from necessity but tradi- tion is alive and well in Pickering. We seem to have no control over it 0CM because we accept it and say noth- ing. :Tom bong, Pickering PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER A Metroland Community Newspaper Tim Whittaker Publisher Joanne Burghardt Editor -in -Chief Steve Houston Alanagung Edaur Bruce Danford Director of Advertising Duncan Fletcher Retud :Idti•ertinng Manager Eddie Kolodziejcak ('/ossified Adwrhsing Alanager John Willems Real E state : I utomotive Advertising .tlanager Abe Fakhourie Distribution .Manager Lillian Hook Office Mumiger Barb Harrison Composing Manager News (905)683-5110 54k, (905)683-5110 f'lassifieds (905) 6834)707 Distribution (905)683-5117 general Fax (905)683-7363 E -Mail ncwsroomlddurham.net Web address www.durhamncws.net 130 Commercial Ave..

Fifteen -month-old Michael is suf- fering with croup. He's wheezing, his voice is raspy and his throat is sore, and he keeps tossing away the little toy she repeatedly hands him to try to distract him from his mis- ery. Mother and baby are in the emer- gency department of the Ajax -Pick- ering Health Centre. They were at the hospital yesterday too, for about 14 hours. Michael was supposed to be admitted last night but was sent home because there was no pedi- atric bed available. His mother brought him back at noon today after he seemed to get worse and she has again been told he'll be admit- ted. But it's 4:30 in the afternoon and she's struggling to keep him comfortable as they wait for a pedi- atric bed to be freed up. "You want to scream;' she says. "What are you supposed to do'.?" Mrs. Butler's frustration is most certainly shared by countless par- ents in many hospital emergency departments across the province as they cope with what has become an emergency care crisis in Ontario. She believes there's something wrong with the health care system when hospitals don't have enough beds open to take in sick children because of lack of staff. " 1 think they don't have the nurs- es to take care of people;' she says. "It's scary." It's "criminal", hospital director of nursing services Tricia Root says of the situation in the emergency de- partment. Ten admitted patients were already lying in emergency waiting to be found beds upstairs when staff arrived in the morning, and several of eight patients being held pending test results would need to be admitted too. "We haven't got enough inpa- tient beds," says Mrs. Root. "We don't seem to be able to get the pa- tients upstairs. It's not pleasant. There's so much noise down here. It's not an appropriate place for a patient to be. Since Christmas we have not gone a day without admit- ted patients in the department." ;. With only 19 stretchers and three cribs to accommodate the ill and in- jured, the presence of 1$ people al- ready in them by morning means there isn't much room for the pa- tients still to come in the rest of the day. In fact, the department will see 115 patients this day; nine will have to be admitted, including two chil- dren. The hospital will need to go on RDC ('re -direct consideration') be- tween 11 am. and 4 p.m., which means ambulances will have to be turned away because there's simply no room. And from 11:30 am. to s Y< p arns. It should take two to five =4, minutes at the very most to get a feel for it. /nr y CEUA BRONKHORSD News Advertiser photos Joanne Butler comforts 15 - month -old son Michael (top photo) during a recent visit to the emergency department at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre. Michael was suffering from the effects of croup, and spent several hours in the emer- gency ward. At right, nurse Joanne McGowan and director of nursing services Tricia Root discuss a case. As Ajax and Pickering grow, so too does the demand on the local- hospital's resources. Plans are under way to rebuild the emergency ward. p.m. the hospital will be on CCB ('critical cane bypass'), so that even critically ill ambulance patients have to be sent away, because the three emergency beds with heart monitors are occupied Over the fust two months of this year, the hospital has been on RDC for 323 hours and on CCB for 30 hours. "Ibis emergency department was built in 1973 to handle 20,000 patients," says Mrs. Root. "We're now handling 40,000 patients." She notes the facility is "antig4ated" and simply can't accommodate the load properly. The people doing their best to make it work are struggling. "My biggest concern is my staff," explains Mrs. Root. "Rrey're really working 'round the clock. It's just day in and day out. Marie McNeill has been lying on one of the emergency stretchers waiting for a bed for two days. The senior has been diagnosed with a blood clot and is -on intravenous blood thinners. If she doesn't get a space upstairs this evening it will be her third night in the emergency de- partment. But Mrs. McNeill is not complaining. ".It's busy," she says. '"Iirere are always been people around. But it isn't even keeping me awake. I have nothing bad to say about the care I've received at all' She admits she has heard horror stories about other people's experi- ences at hospitals. Her husband told her he noticed a decline in the qual- ity of care the last time he was in in- tensive care. And she's noticed there have been changes like not getting tissues in her room when she was in hospital for surgery recently in Toronto, and only getting half a bar of soap to use during her stay in emergency here. `"Thiene are little things like that you've always taken for granted' In the three hours since she came on duty this afternoon triage nurse Carmela MacLean has seen patients with broken wrists, abdominal pain, bad cases of the flu and asthma It's her job to assess whether their con- dition is non -urgent, urgent or emer- gent — a matter of life or death — and decid.- in what order patients should be seen. "You kind of do a very quick as - She has been a nurse for 15 years, including 13 years in emer- gency. "I like the action. I worked downtown for the first six years" According to APHC chief of emergency Dr. David Hancock the problem isn't so much the number of people coming to the department. "Tire ones who we're getting here are sicker:' he says, explaining their illnesses are more complex, higher risk and require more time to diagnose and treat than in the past. Where 10 years ago the depart- ment was seeing lots of earaches and sore throats not really requiring hospital care, says Dr. Hancock, only about 10 to 15 per cent of the patients he's seeing now don't need to be there. That's mostly because so many walk-in clinics have opened to offer night-time and weekend medical care. The doctor notes pushing for an even lower rate of unnecessary visits to emergency might result in some patients stay- ing away even if they really do need urgent care. Dr. Hancock maintains health care in Ontario has been "ratcheted down" over recent years, and some of the evidence is over -burdened emergency departments and ;tressed -out staff. -I really couldn't begin to de- scribe how much more difficult it is. I'm surprised we actually can do what we do, quite frankly" While it won't come for another scar or two, help may be on the way (c)r APHC's beleaguered emergency department. An expanded emer- gency facility is part of the $12.8 - million capital construction plan APHC is preparing for the provin- cial Ministry of Health. The min- istry has asked for the plan, which means there's a good chance the ex- pansion will actually occur, but nothing's definite yet, according to Carmen Salmon, corporate planning and restructuring consultant to APHC. '111vis is a project we want to go ahead with fairly quickly," says Ms. Salmon. "It's going to go ahead of some of the other (APHC capital construction projects) because we feel it's a critical area for us to ad- dress.,, If everything goes smoothly, construction could begin as soon as early 2000, and is expected to take 18 months to two years, depending on what is approved Whether the department would be renovated, re- located or a new one built from scratch has not yet been decided. Meanwhile, the possible reopen- ing of beds in Toronto hospitals could ease the crush in emergency departments there, which would mean fewer Toronto ambulances bringing patients from the city to add to the load out here. q►,A A arlyG ,iti1`t ^} A,tw'►R i��'tT11; rC jl��� i17%�7�iaV�i%+ i:\�/ith A/P PAGE 8 NEONS ADYER119ER FRIDAY 60ITION, Marcha2, 1999 ► r .

Carol Barkwell, a youth counsel- lor with The Rose of Durham, says it's the details of the LEAP (Learn- ing, Earning and Parenting) pro- gram which will determine if the program will be beneficial to young mothers. One of the big concerns is at what point a woman will he forced to go back to school, she says, pointing out that it should be at least as long as a working woman is enti- tled to remain home from a job. "If they're required to go back (earlier) there's issues around bond- ing, choice in parenting and breast feeding;" she says. The LEAP program was intro- duced by Ontario Community and Social Services Minister and Durham West MPP Janet Ecker last week and was touted as a way to break the welfare cycle of depen- dency teen moms and their children often fall into. Under the program, 16- and 17 - year -old parents will be required to take part in LEAP in order to re- ceive welfare. The major component of the pro- gram is a mandatory requirement that teens attend school and com- plete parenting courses; however there are also programs to help peo- ple acquire job skills and make the transition to the job market after graduation. Paul Cloutier, administrator of income support for Durham Region Social Services, says teens under the age of 18 are already required to attend school in order to receive so- cial assistance. However the new program will help teen parents with specific pro- grams geared toward their situa- tions. Pointing out that education levels are tied to employment, he says any effort to encourage youths "to stay in the education system, is seen as positive for them in the long run" Ms. Barkwell says without the program Rose of Durham has al- ready seen the number of young mothers who return to school in- creasing over the last five years. Right now "65 per cent of teens go back to school at the six month to one-year point," she says. Making the program mandatory creates difficulties for students who have unique needs such as family difficulties or post partum depres- sion, she says. Although she applauds parts of LEAP which would provide teens with child care and transportation to school and parenting classes, she wonders if complementary work will be done to make sure that sec- ondary school officials are more un- derstanding of teen parent situa- tions.

The 44 -year-old Sunderland con- tractor was planning to take his wife, Linda, and their three sons — Enzo, 20, Rocco, 17, and Michael, 15 — on a trip to Italy to revisit the family's roots. The money for the trip had al- ready been set aside. But the dream fell apart when a visit to the family home by four per lice officers on Dec. 28 left Tony fa- tally shot, Rocco seriously injured and Enzo facing assault charges. The four officers, two from York Region and two from the Durham force, had gone to the Romagnuolo home to investigate threats allegedly made against one of the officers by Enzo. In the confrontation that fol- lowed, Torry and Rocco were shot and an officer was wounded. Linda and Michael were then taken from the house in handcuffs and Enzo was arrested for assaulting po- lice. The money set aside for the trip has been used for funeral and burial expenses. legal fees and household expenses. "It was a happy, close-knit family before that day:' says Wayne Nikolich, Linda Romagnuolo's broth- er.

"Tony was everything to the boys. He was their father -figure and their friend" Rocco, a student in a co-op pro- gram at Sunderland High School, loved tinkering with small engines and would have been working in a garage this year if not for the events that occurred that fateful night. "He was a happy kid, full of life:' Mr. Nikolich says. "He was pleased with where he was heading, and his family knew that he was heading in a goxl direction. "He was an outgoing kid who laughed a lot and loved to play with his nieces and nephews" But Rocco hasn't had much to laugh at since police shot him once in the abdomen, Mr. Nikolich says. "He was on the critical list for al- most two months. He has had to en- dure three rounds of major surgery for stomach, liver and lung (damage), and he had to use those drainage tubes for so long. 'And he's had to deal with the fact that his dad is dead, and try to make some sense out of why it happened:' Friends and family have rallied to- gether to help Rocco pull through his ordeal, which was especially evident Feb. 10, when Rocco celebrated his first birthday since his father died.

There are also encouraging signs that Rocco is recovering, Mr. Nikolich says. He's been transferred to a rehabilitation centre, is finally able to eat solid food and is now start- ing to walk. But Mr. Nikolich won- ders if Rocco. who becomes "teary- eyed" whenever his father's name is brought up, will ever have a normal, happy, healthy life. He also worries about his sister Linda, whose life was changed so suddenly, and who has had to forge on by herself to support her three sons. '"I?»s family has been battered emotionally, physically and financial- ly:' Mr. Nikolich says. "We desper- ately want to know why this had to happen to Tony, Rocco, Michael and the rest of us. "But the support from friends and relatives has been enormous, and is going to help us make it through:" Mr. Nikolich says friends of the family are in the process of setting up a trust fund to help the Romagnuolos meet future contingencies. The circumstances surrounding the shootings are under investigation by the province's special investiga- tions unit. Ontario Provincial Police are also investigating. Ilk SIU, a civilian -led agency that probes serious injuries and deaths in- volving police, is waiting for the re- sults of forensic tests before they rec- ommend whether any charges should be laid against police officers. Enzo Romagnuolo was charged with assault causing bodily harm to a police officer, assault to resist arrest and uttering threats. A pre-trial hear- ing date has been set for April 9 in Newmarket coxal. Friends have established a trust fund for the Romaguuolo family. Money may be directed to the Ro- magnuolo Family Trust at the Candi- an Imperial Bank of Commerce Branch at 788 O'Connor Dr. in Toronto. —TIWSTN.R tiFTNN-ORK Please Reo-cle This .«<.paper Renciva. $ave Big at HomeHardwiwawsqare Save up to 50% "�'� 14 L -,u PTO 50% OFF WOW IF SCRATCH ARFA ONE DISCOUNT CARD PER CUSTOWER.

Being snowed in like this is perfect for conjuring up im- ages of my coming spring and summer garden. It's a great ex- cuse to loaf in front of the fire with a steaming mug of hot chocolate, my husband, the dogs, the cat and a stack of gardening catalogues strewn around me. Flipping through garden catalogues is a great source of entertainment for me. I get my best ideas from them. I love the Thompson and Morgan seed catalogue (Thompson & Morgan Inc., 3780 Peter St., Windsor, ON N9C 4H2 or call 1-8(X)-274- 7333 for free catalogue). It is small, about the size of a Reader's Digest magazine and has 200 pages in full colour. Of all the publications I like, it is the one with the most exotic and usually the most interest- ing new flower offerings. It has veggies too. There is one big drawback to this company and that is that most of the seeds arc %er% ex- pensive. 111�. Veronica S 1 iva In The Ga7den For example some gerani- um varieties are as much as $5.99 for eight seeds. When I had a greenhouse I did buy seeds from T&M, be- cause I could control the grow- ing conditions better than on my windowsill or under lights. These days I am less inclined to invest in the expense. Gar- denimport (PO Box 760, Thornhill, ON UT 4A5, cata- logue cover price $5) puts out a gorgeous catalogue. Most of its offerings are live plants, but they also mar- ket Suttons Garden Seeds, the largest supplier of garden seed in England. The photography is out- standing and they sell harder - to -find plants as well as some that are more commonly found. This company is very, very expensive. One expects to pay a premi- um for something unusual like an Pulmonaria, Raspberry Splash' at $17.95, but other more commonly found plants are overpriced. The herb Wooly Thyme at their reduced price of $9.95 is too much. I have seen it elsewhere for under $4. It pays to compare. A small specialty brochure, is the one put out by 'We're in the Hav- field Now.' This catalogue features the Daylily introductions of Dou- glas Lycett and Henry Lorrain of Orono. (Doug passed away last year and Henry is continu- ing their breeding program). If you like daylilies you must have this one. (4704 Pollard Road, RR 1, Orono, ON LOB IMO, Toll Free 1-888-818- 7234). I have left my favourite and I think the best for last. Since 1881 Stokes Seeds of St. Catharines have been in busi- ness. Theirs is not only a cata- logue for seeds and garden ac- cessories, but a valuable infor- mation resource as well. It's jam packed with growing in- formation and tips. I have never had a packet of seeds from this company that did not perform as promised. The price is right too, fair and reasonable.
