He noted that while Ottawa is trying to decide what to do with a 595 -billion federal budget sur- plus expected over the next few years, "they want to screw us for $142,577 (in 1998). It's nothing short of high- way robbery" The Town staff report points out that under the Province's capping leg- islation, municipal revenues lost through the limits on assessment -re- lated tax increases were balanced by a corresponding limit on assessment -re- lated tax cuts on commercial, industri- al and multi -residential properties.

So implies the Durham Region Health Department which found 1,012 "critical health hazards" in an inspection of 43 Town -owned playgrounds. Those hazards could potentially kill, dismember or permanently injure our children. The dangers found include playground equipment in which a youngster's head or neck could be trapped: slides and poles where kids' clothes might become entangled: and miss- ing or inadequate safety barriers on elevated equipment. To he fair, the health department applied 1998 Canadian Standards Association guidelines when it checked out play- grounds throughout Durham and found that, of those inspect- ed. Pickering's parks pose a greater rate of hazard than any other municipality's in the region. It's important to note that the 1998 CSA standard is a manufacturing guideline for the playground equipment industry and was not intended to be ap- plied retroactively. And. it should be pointed out. Pickenng has some playground equipment as much as 20 years old. The Town's director of parks and facilities uses those facts to defend the playgrounds his department oversees. Everett Buntsma says the health department's findings do not neces- sarily mean Pickering parks are unsafe. to Mr. Buntcma's credit• he and his staff swung into ac- tion after receiving a letter fmm the health department report- ing the results of the inspections of Pickering playgrounds conducted between May and October. Crews were dispatched to parks to correct every problem identified that could be fixed within the department budget for the year. A list of things that couldn't he corrected this year has been drawn up and Mr. Buntsma expects to have a full report from staff by January. Coincidentally, that's about the same time Town depart- ment heads like Mr. Buntsma will be finalizing their wish lists for consideration by Pickenng council during the politicians' annual budget deliberations At present, about $4(l(),(Xr) has been allocated in the Town's planned 20(x) budget for playground equipment re- placement and renovations. But Mr. Bunisma says he expects the changes required to bring all of Pickering's playgrounds up to the new CSA standard would cost more than that. The political will must be there to make the Town's parks as saffe as they can be. Pickcnng councillors have to make Playground upgrades a priority Our children and thew safety must come first. They deserve no less than to be able to play without fear of getting hurt ... or worse. Crack crackdown Police need more drug officers The numbers are troubling. From 1995 to 1998, crack possession and trafficking ar- rests in Durham jumped from 94 to 149, an increase of 59 per cent. In Oshawa alone, called 'crack city' by RCMP drug squad Constable Serge Giroux, arrests went up a whopping 85 per cent over that period from 68 to 126. Crack cocaine has become a scourge in Durham. Sergeant Jack Dancey, head of Durham Region's under- staffed drug squad, says bluntly. "Crack cocaine is the No. 1 drug problem we have in Durham Region. It seems like we're just getting overwhelmed with it:' With Just five officers at his disposal for drug investiga- tions, Sgt. Dancey doesn't have the manpower he needs to effectively tackle the problem. By way of comparison. Hamilton -Wentworth has 17 drug squad officers, York Re- gion has 16. while Peel Region has 25. No wonder the deal- ers are working Durham Region. With such a small number of officers to contend with, crack pushers figure the odds are good they'll get away with it. Still, local officers do get their man at times. Witness the more than 100 crack -related arrests in three takedowns the past three years. But much more could be accomplished with a greater emphasis on drug enforcement in Durham. Sgt. Dancey, head of the Region's drug squad for the past eight years and an officer for 22, says he believes up to "80 per cent of robberies are to feed a drug habit" The problem isn't just with the increase in drugs, but with the upward spiral of related crimes. Prostitution, ac- cording to one local prosecutor, wasn't seen in Durham until crack appeared here. Who knows how many muggings and break-ins were fueled by an addiction to crack? There's little doubt a drug addiction pushes people, who otherwise wouldn't take the risk, into criminal behaviour. Chief Kevin McAlpine admits the force is understaffed and is in the midst of a five-year plan to address the prob- lem. He should strongly consider asking for more drug of- ficers. Pushers need to be put on notice residents won't ac- cept our region becoming a haven for crack dealers. E -wail comments on editorials to wwews@durkaim net.

When Mr. Harris tried to fire five directors of a government agency and appoint others more compati- ble, a court said he could not do it before their terms expired without proving reasonable cause and they stayed. The premier was proud of a so- called victims' bill of rights he passed and flourished it at every op- portunity.

The premier wanted a law that would have forted separate schools to hive non-Catholic teachers, but a judge found separate schools have a right to exist in the constitution and also a means to preserve their reli- gious character.

Despite several major sweeps targeting street -level to upper-level suppliers, the flow of crack has reached alarming new heights, according to front-line officers. Although Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine says crack is a "serious prob- lem in Durham Region, we have no (statistical) evidence to suggest we have a worse problem than any other GTA municipality:'. But veteran drug cops strongly suggest otherwise. They say a growing market and a lack of police resources has attracted traffickers from Toronto and surrounding com- munities to this region's largest municipality, giving the 'City in Motion' a reputa- tion, in some circles, as the GTA's crack -distribution capi- tal. "There is a rich market out here. There's a large clientele;' says Corporal John Green of the RCMP's Bowmanville- based Toronto East drug sec- tion. "(Dealers) may think there is less chance of getting caught. It's a haven for deal- ers, and that's a reality." RCMP Constable Serge Giroux bluntly adds, "Oshawa is a safe place to deal crack co- caine... In some places in On- tario, Oshawa is known as crack city."' Including Durham, the RCMP unit is responsible for an area bounded by Toronto. Haliburton and Trenton. Mounties Green and Giroux have more than 42 years of combined experience in feder- al law enforcement. Together, they say they have witnessed an infiltration of crack dealers in Durham Region over the last decade. Tens years ago clack was practically non-existent in the region. Police say it first crossed the border over the Rouge Valley, hitting the streets of Oshawa in 1990. "That was when we first saw its beginnings. We chased it from south -Oshawa and up Simcoe Street. Today it's the drug of choice in Durham Re- gion:' said Corporal Green. "The spread has been dramat- ic... It has grown by leaps and bounds.. Criminal statistics com- piled by the Durham depart- ment show a dramatic rise in the number of crack -related arrests in Oshawa and Durham Region in the last four years. From 1995 to 1998, for ex- ample, the number of crack Undermanned police force in Durham swamped with drug infestation possession and trafficking ar- rests in the region shot up from 94 to 149, an overall in- crease of 59 per cent. In Oshawa there were 126 crack -related arrests in 1998 compared to 68 in 1995, an in- crease of 85 per cent. To combat the trade local drug cops began shifting their focus away from the street level and targeting upper -ech- elon players in organized crack -trafficking rings. The strategy change began in July 1996 with Operation Octopussy, a six-month joint - forces investigation by the RCMP and Durham Regional Police. The project culminated with the arrests of 52 alleged dealers and suppliers in Janu- ary 1997. Legal observers rank the case among the largest -ever crack conspiracy prosecutions in Ontario. Police say the intensive wiretap and surveillance probe revealed a network of crack houses across the region, most in Oshawa, run by an army of dealers enlisted by Dennis Warner, whom he called his "soldiers." Around the same time an- other undercover joint -forces probe targeting the crack trade in the region, Operation Crack -down, resulted in more than 30 arrests. And last month, another 20 suspected crack dealers and suppliers were scooped up in Operation Bomb Squad, a wiretap investigation conduct- ed solely by Durham Regional Police's drug squad, lasting five months. In each investigation, po- lice say they were targeting drug rings baud in Oshawa, but with supply links across the region from Pickering to Bowmanville to Brooklin. 0000 "Crack cocaine is the No. 1 drug problem we have in Durham Region. It seems like we're just getting over- whelmed with it:' remark. Sergeant Jack Dancey, a 22 yearveteran piilwc officer and the head of Durham Region's drug squad for the past eight years. He says a saturated market and fierce competition in Toronto has driven crack deal- ers to Durham Region. "It started off with some people coming over from Toronto and Scarborough and parking on the street or in a lot and unloading (crack);' says Sgt. Dancey. "They would come for the night or a couple of days until their supply was depleted. They had buyers lin- ing up " The market was so lucra- tive, Sgt.

The number of posses- sion -only arrests in Os- hawa rose from 34 in 1995 to 40 in 1996, 46 in 1997 to 60 in 1998, an increase of 30 per cent in the final year. The number of traffick- ing arrests in Oshawa dealers decided to become permanent residents. "It got to the point where these people realized, 'Hey, this is a great market' and they started to move into local mo- tels or apartments and set up business:' he says. Mentoring service offered to women seeking work in Ajax, Pickering Unemployed and underem- ployed women are invited to learn how to become more confident and successful in their job search. The Ajax -Pickering Women's Centre is offering Women and Employment: Strategies for the Next Millen- nium, an employment devel- opment project that will offer mentoring partnerships with a professional in their field of interest.

Region -wide totals show a similar surge. The overall number of crack cocaine trafficking arrests in Durham Region between 1995 and 1998 gradually increased from 43 to 61 to 62 to 72. The number of posses- sion -only crack arrests dur- ing the same period rose from 51 to 53 to 66 to 77. Police know of about 25 crack houses across the city. They operate out of motel rooms, rooming houses, apart - meats and houses, all rented for a single purpose. Many crack deals are made under cover of the night - on the streets, in back alleys or downtown parking lots - in the underbelly of the city, police say. It's an entire subculture in- visible to many in the general public, says Const. Giroux. "The police know all about it and the bad guys know all about it. Just watch the change in downtown Oshawa from day to night:" he says. Police say as many as three organized groups of traffickers have carved out territory in Oshawa and maintain a grip on the region's crack supply. Most of the crack is "cooked" in Scarborough and imported, police say. There are many independents. The drug rings, says Sgt. Dancey, "are run like a corpo- ration. It's as well -organized as things can be in the drug subculture. People have re- sponsibilities and they are ex- pected to produce. If they don't then they're tossed out:' He says the majority of crack dealers don't use the drug and they share one com- mon goal: profit. "The users are ruining their lives but the people profiting big generally aren't using. These people would sell to their own mothers if they could make a profit. "They don't have any con- science. It all comes down to money... tax free:" Sgt. Dancey ,ays. One kilogram of crack sold ,n the street at gram level is worth roughly $60,000. 000❑ Compared to regional drug squads across the GTA, local police are badly outgunned in the fight to combat crack. Es- sentially they are a platoon against armies. A survey of 905 regional police forces shows Durham's six -man unit is dwarfed in comparison. For example, the Peel Re- gion drug squad is staffed with 25 detectives and constables. the York Region drug squad with 16. Hamilton -Wentworth Regional Police, the depart- ment frequently held up as a comparison model to Durham, has 17 drug unit members - al- most triple. Sgt. Dancey acknowledges the unit's limited resources, saying, "We're certainly busier than ever." And although the number of officers in Durham's re- gional drug squad is the same as when it was established in 1990, the same can't be said for the workload. "It's gone from where we could spend about 30 per cent of our time on crack investiga- tions four years ago to now when, ideally, we could do nothing but crack investiga- tions," says Sgt. Dancey. "But I'm a%tonished with what we accomplish with what (resources) we have. I've never seen a harder working unit.- He nit"He says the unit sets realis- tic goals. As many as I(In case files on average are assigned to each individual officer in the squad and cases arc priori- tized. "It is a big problem and we are doing our best to try to keep a lid on it somewhat.." Corp. Green and Const. Giroux say Durham's drug unit does a "tremendous job;' considering its manpower. "These guys must be swamped. Their frustration level must be tremendous. They are doing a hard job with limited resources. Really, they can only scratch the surface of the problem. It's such a big task;' said Corp. Green. Chief McAlpine says the Durham department has been chronically undermanned for years and is currently in the midst of a five-year staffing plan to address the shortage. But there are no immediate plans to increase the size of the force's drug squad. "We have a significant lack of resources;" he says, adding many units are operating with minimum staffing. "If we had the number of officers (needed)... we'd be able to apply more resources (to drug investigations):" He adds not a "single per- son in this organization" has expressed concern about drug squad staffing in his two years as chief. Conducting major drug in- vestigations, because of legal and technical complexities, is time-consuming and labour in- tensive, the RCMP officers say. "To do these kinds of inves- tigations on a regular basis Lights and Yule magic... Christmas is the most colourful time of the year. But the magical time wouldn't be possible without a lot of hard work and a lot of little bulbs. The origin of lights was first introduced some- time in the 1500s by the lighting of candles, a prac- tice not recommended today unless you have a fas- cination with fire. Candles were only lit for a short period, but it's said Martin Luther, a professor at Saxon University of Wittenburg stand the practice of lighting candles on trees to remind young chil- dren of the stars in heaven, from which the Son of God, Jesus, descended to earth. It's also believed the very first electric lights were used in 1882 by takes resources. You need the finances, the equipment, the time and the manpower. (Durham) doesn't have enough people:' said Const. Giroux. He is the lead investigator in Project Octopussy, a case with 23 remaining accused persons, still working its way through the judicial process. So far, 17 people charged in Octopussy, including Dennis Warner, have received com- bined jail sentences totalling 60 years. All but one of those pleaded guilty. Const. Giroux stared ahead in a courtroom stonefaced when Mr. Warner, admitted crack kingpin, was led away in handcuffs after pleading guilty to trafficking conspiracy. The seasoned RCMP offi- cer expressed little satisfaction at Mr. Warner's conviction and sentence, eight years in peni- tentiary in exchange for his testimony, and downplayed the significance of his downfall. "We had been trying to get him for many years. He was at the top since 1991;" Const. Giroux acknowledged at the time, "but crack is still being sold in Oshawa. "The market is still there and there are a lot of cus- tomers. All you need is people like (Mr. Warner) to bring it there. There's always some- body to take his place" Trials are scheduled to begin at the Whitby court- house next year for the re- maining co -accused, following lengthy pretrial motions be- ginning in March. The Canadian Department of Jus- tice has appointed a special prosecutor to handle the case. Police and prosecutors sug- gest the rise in crack cocaine in the region is linked to in- creases in other crimes, such as assaults, home invasions, robberies and prostitution. "It has created a lot of spin- off crime. People aren't rob- bing banks to feed their kids. Our thoughts are 80 per cent (of robberies) are to feed a drug habit:' says Sgt. Danccy. Local prosecutor Terry Kclly adds: "We didn't have prostitution in (Oshawa) until we got crack. - Up until a few years ago, he says, local lawyers dealt large- ly with hash and marijuana prosecutions. "In general we do see a lot more crack . ases now. I'd say roughly 80 to 90 per cent in- volve crack, compared to about 50-50 five years ago," Mr. Kelly says. He adds crack cuts a path of destruction across socio-eco- nomic lines as offenders come from all walks of life, ranging from professionals to the un- employed. This past year a local school teacher was even convicted of possession of crack for the purpose of traf- ficking. Sgt. Dancey says "we've been lucky" Durham Region hasn't seen the same level of crack -related violence report- ed in Toronto. "There are lots of guns out there and we do see them fre- quently;" he says, adding the unit has seized firearms and hand grenades. He explains territorial vio- lence among rival groups of crack dealers in Oshawa is limited, mainly because the competition here isn't as fierce as in Toronto. "We have had some shoot- ings and drive-bys, but it isn't on a nightly basis like Toronto. There is enough business to go around for everybody here;' notes Sgt. Dancey, expressing concern that eventually could change. Edward Johnson, an associate of Thomas Edison. M --�- Ten years later the lights were sold commercially through General Electric. Today, Alderbrook In- dustries, Canada's largest manufacturer and de- signer of Christmas lights and other decorations, supplies this insatiable demand. Craig Rice, senior vice-president of Alderbrook Ind., located in Pick- q = J Bring, says more and more homeowners are deco- rating their homes with Christmas lights. *'The clear lights are the most popular followed by multi -colour lights... red then blue:' Icicle lights are all the rage still. Last year there weren't enough sets available, but this year it seems everyone has them: The next big thing, according to Mr. Rice, will be net light: which can be used to XW cover shrubs with ease. r - AV PAGE AS NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, 0aoern1, 1S, 1909 A beautiful casual sofa that fits any decor.

Scott Stephens is looking to move up in the racing world after capturing the drivers' championship of the Pro Formula 1200 Isseco- Kumho Series hosted at Quebec and Ontario tracks this pact summer. Driving the Redline Pro- motions Racing car with a Volkswagen engine, the 29 - year -old won four of the 13 races in his first year in the open -wheel series which took him to Mospo n, Shan- nonville and Mount Trem- blant race tracks. In addi- tion, he was on the podium as one of the top three fin- ishers on five other occa- sions. In the last race of the w- rics at Mosport. near Bow - Manville. in early October. Stephens needed to finish in the top nine in the first race of the evening to wrap up the drivers' championship. He Lroxscd the finish line fourth and in the second race of the evening placed third. Winning the series to his rookie season "was pretty amaimg,' sayti Stephens "it was a pretty hand �cnc% fhc team I was wroth µ.!.sin perienced tern I'. helped me a lot with the set- up of the car and they helped me to learn the various tracks" His most productive weekend of the series was at "I would like to go as far as I possibly can (in racing)" -- SCOTT STEPHENS Shannonville in May. Com- ing off seventh- and third- place finishes at Mosport in the series opener that month. Stephens earned the pole position and won both races to take a commanding lead in the drivers' standings - a lead he wouldn't relinquish. "Tire cars in the 1200 se- ries are so close in perfor- mancc that the lead changes hand many times in the course of a race. A lot of it has to do with drafting - using the wind. You have to stay close to the guys in front of you so can sling- shot past them. That's a big factor." Stephens says he's con- templating his options for next season. but he's sem he'll move up to a more competitive level of racing.

He says he might also opt for the regional 1600 series which runs at Mosport and Shannonville throughout the rummer. He may even do both series, but that will de- pend on getting backers for the coming season. "it will depend on spon- sorship. The pro series costs more money. If not, then I will run the regional series:' Stephens has been racing since getting behind the wheel of a go-kart at age eight. After competing on the Ko -kart circuit until the age of 17, he stepped up to cars and in 1995 finished sixth overall in the drivers' standings in the Valvoline Touring Car Champi- onships. In 1998, Stephens cap- tured the Canadian Automo- bile Sports Club's Ontario Region GTC championship. The sky's the limit for Stephens in auto racing, as he plans to go as far as his skills behind the wheel will take him. "I would like to go as far as I possibly can:' he says.
