Pickering councillors voted Monday to continue transit merger discussions with Ajax, after three of them told their colleagues their phone conver- sation with Mr. Parish gave them confidence the two major obstacles to a deal so far will he overcome.

A consultant hired by the two municipalities estimated the payment at $178,000, but Ajax councillors have suggest- ed that sum is not sufficient to cover the value of what their Town would be bringing into the deal.

Jwmiry 12,21M Special education still faces cutbacks BY SUSAN O'NFJIL Staff Writer Although the public school board is anticipating some financial "relief' to address a shortfall in funding for special education, it's likely the board will still have to make further cuts to programs for special needs students this fall, re- ports a public board official. Bev Freedman, superintendent of programs for the Durham District School Board, told trustees Monday the board will have to "cut back" its spend- ing on special education this September. "We know there is not likely to be a major infusion of dollars," she said, ex- plaining the board can't continue to fund its special education programs by using its reserve fund. lite public board used an additional $3.5 million on top of the Province's funding allocation to support special ed- ucation this year. And, even with that additional fund- ing, the board still had to restructure its special education programs, cutting the number of teachers who work with learning disabled students from 250 to 153 this year. "We will likely move more towards mainstreaming." Ms. Freedman said, explaining more and more special needs BEV FREEDMAN 'Not likely to be a major infusion of dollars.' students will be integrated into regular classrooms. '"Boat appears to be the di- rection of the Province." The program department will make recommendations to trustees regarding a further restructuring of the hoard's special education programs when the board begins budget discussions, Ms. Freedman noted. "I expect I will be coming forward with a further realignment of our model," she said. "All students are being served, but most of them are being served different- ly:' she said of the revised program. "We have a fewer number of people serving students and that becomes chal- lenging." Ms. Freedman reports another chal- lenge is the fact that there is no new money for special needs students that move into Durham during the middle of the school year. She's hopeful the Min- istry of Education will address that problem when funding is announced for the next school year. "We're hopeful the ministry has heard both our concerns and sugges- tions." she said in reference to the fact that representatives from boards across Ontario have been working together for months in an attempt to bring about changes to the Province's funding for- mula. Government funding for special needs students has drawn fire from edu- cators across Ontario who maintain the funding formula fails to respond to the diverse special education programs in place among the province's 72 school districts.

Austin site in Whitby so there will be more space for pupils, adding the whole accommodation plan -looks very promising." In a report to the board, director Grant Andrews said, 71"he need for secondary school accommodation for Catholic students in Durham Region has increased dramatically (since the mid-1980s when the board was only responsible for education up to Grade 10). "The board had very limited ac- commodation for students beyond Grade 8. (at that time) owning only part of a small building in Whitby and being provided classroom space by the Sisters of St. Joseph in Os- hawa," the director reports, noting in the last 15 years the board purchased and constructed five secondary schools. The director also reports that the Province's new funding formula has enabled the board to proceed with the construction of two new high schools. the joint facility in north Ajax that will serve students from Ajax and Pickering and a new school in northwest Whitby. Bah of those schools arc expected to open in Sep- tember 2001. Meanwhile, Mr. Andrews reports the reduction in class sizes and the continued growth in secondary school enrolment have meant that accommodation plans for secondary school students, both on a short and long-term basis, have had to be re- viewed and revised." He explains long-term enrolment projections were completed in Au- gust and reports staff used those pro- jections. which cover enrolment growth up to 2009, to plan permanent accommodations required to meet the Transit merger back on track TRANSIT from page 1 the merger takes effect. The second major issue has been an expectation by Ajax that Pickering pay to equip all its buses with 'Smart - Card' fare collection technology, which the Ajax transit system has. That could cost the City in excess of $300,000, according to its chief ad- ministrative officer. According to Coun. Brenner, Mayor Parish said he would agree to the $178,000 equalization payment from Pickering suggested by the con- sultant, with the timing of the pay- ment to be negotiated, and also said he would be willing to wait for the re- sults of a study by the consultant on the SmartCard issue. Court. Brenner said agreement on these two major issues and a number of smaller ones would allow the two municipalities to sign a transit union agreement soon, which would mean they could proceed to the implementa- tion phase of the merger plan drawn up by the consultant. An equalization payment schedule and a final decision on the SmartCards would be worked out in the implementation phase. The councillor says his expectation is both municipalities would accept the rec- ommendations of the consulwai on the SmartCard technology. Mayor Parish, who's away at a Durham Region policy discussion re- treat, was not available for comment. Pickering councillors instructed City staff to continue the negotiations and provide a status report to council no later tttun Feb. 7. board's short-term and long-term needs.

The citizens' group, VOCAL (Voters Organized to Cancel the Airport Lands), will be providing an update on airport lands issues. Another meeting related to the federal lands will be held in Pickering Friday morning. The "stakeholders forum" of municipal, regional, provin- cial, federal, VOCAL and other representatives will meet at 9 a.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 1867 Valley Farm Rd. It will be the first meeting of the stakeholders group since May, when it came up with a compromise solution under which local municipali- Shotgun-toting bandits gi in Pickering pizza parlour PICKERING — Two masked men armed with a sawed-off shotgun robbed a Pickering pizza parlour and got away Monday. Durham Regional Police Sergeant Jim Grimley said bandits wearing bandannas burst into Gino's Famous Pizza, at 750 Oklahoma Dr., just after 10 p.m. "An employee was ordered down on the floor and they scooped up the cash tray and fled;' said Sgt. Grimley, adding another worker was in the back. The suspects were hath de - Pickering pushes for pilot project PICKERING from page I much like a decal. Under the provincial Highway Traffic Act (HTA), blue sheet- ing and white lettering is currently re- quired for school crossing signs. Mr. Brake explains the new, non -regulation fluorescent material is being used by some Ontario municipalities on the basis that it exceeds the HTA require- ment. A committee of works department staff from Towns and Cities across Durham, including Pickering, recom- mended in September that Durham hold off on using the new fluorescent mater- ial for school crossings until the Province approves it. However. says Mr. Brake, an accident in October where a Sid was hit by a car in front of Clare- mont Public School persuaded Picker- ing to ask the Region to try the new ma- terial as a pilot project. "It was thought maybe we shouldn't wait, maybe we should try one location So see how it works and how drivers react to it:' Mr. Brake says the Region could test the effectiveness of the fluorescent signs in a number of ways —such as measur- ing speed% in the school zone where they're used, interviewing drivers, and asking school crossing guards how cf- fecnvc the signs are. He says the study would likely take the Region three to four months to complete. "1 expect we'd get something back in a few months, certainly before school ends.. Pickering is asking for the test only at the one location n and has not changed its position on waiting for a provincial decision, anticipated in about a year, be- fore changing signs elsewhere. Mr. Brake notes testing the new fluorescent sheeting here will give Durham a chance to formulate a well-founded po- sition on the issue and make its own rec- ornmendations to the Province. "We can sit back and wait or we can be proactive and give it a try. That is the position of Pickering." It's expected to cast Durham Region about 5600 to put in the new signs at the Claremont school, about triple the cost of the standard blue ones. If Ontario does ultimately adopt the fluorescent signs for school zones, Pickering would have more than 30 school crossings on City roads to update — at a potential east of $18,000. The estimated cost to Durharn of replacing school signs on the Region's roads would be in excess of $25,000, according to a regional staff reporL 911 system crash probe under way 9/1 jmnpp said. After the 911 system failed around 10 am. Monday, "It was quickly real- ized that the fault wasn't in the 911 centre itself, but a Bell Canada prob- lem," said Durham Regional Police Sergeant Jim Grimley. '"Itte system fault was later traced by Bell Canada and found to be a malfunction in Bell Canada's Oshawa switching station." Bell rerouted 911 calls to a seven - digit line by 11:50 a.m., allowing Durham residents to get through to re- port any emergencies The system was back up and run- ning by 2:45 p.m. Sgt. Grimley added. While the lines were down, anyone who called 911 found their phones were locked and they couldn't discon- nect when they tried to hang up. Sgt. Grimley said 18 locked calls were traced by Bell Canada and the ad- dresses where they originated were contacted by the Durham 911 centre. If no one answered, emergency units were sent out to check. scribed as about 19 -years -old and East Indian. They were wearing black hats and dark windbreakers, one possibly with three white stripes.

On one hand, there are the stories about vandalism, sex assault, schoolyard bullies, teen violence and the appropri- ately expressed concerns of people who live in Ajax and Pickering. On the other, there is the threat of extinction for one of the best community-based safety programs ever created for the youngest, most vulnerable members of our society. That's the unfortunate situation the Ajax -Pickering Block Parents Program finds itself in — again — without volunteers to help the organization continue. Marianne MacBride, chairman of the Ontario Block Par- ent Program, minced no words late last week when she pro- vided a status check for residents here: '"[ire bottom line is I get someone to co-ordinate the Ajax -Pickering program or I fold it." If that happens, it could mean: No safe haven for a young boy or girl who has, perhaps, been confronted by a stranger on their street. No place to turn for a youngster who is the victim of bul- lying, or who is being chased by a group of older children: No landmark or safe house for kids to count on between their school and their home, should an injury occur — or worse. Of course, the Block Parent program is only as good as the people running it. Historically, there have been selfless residents in Ajax and Pickering who have stepped forward in the past to ensure the existence of a local program. BuL they have done their part. They have provided the structural support by volunteering on the Block Parent ex- ecutive. They have provided training and necessary re- sources for actual Block Parent horse volunteers. They have screened the applications from volunteers and seen that the Block Parent signs are made available and properly posted. In short, they've made the effort to erasure that neigh- bourhood children — your children — were covered by a Block Parent house on your street in your corner of the community. Now, it's your turn to take the reins, as a member of the local program executive or as a Block Parent. If one child is saved from the clutches of a stranger, if one youngster is spared a beating at the had& of a bully, the program can be called a success. The Block Parent Program has a history of success. It has saved children from injury and provided a supportive environment for the timid and lost. Let's see that it continues here in Ajax and Pickering.

Pets left for 8 or more hours often start looking for ways to amuse themselves, and chewing and other mischief may be the result PET PLAYCaIRE, a pet care service specializing in daily dog walking and vacation pet sitting, can provide that hea" energy outlet for your pet 'Pet owners want to come home to a happy, healthy dog with no 'surprises' when they come in the door,' says Melanie Hancock, owner of Pet Piaycare, pictured above right with friend %Mlbur. Daily walking provides stimulation and exercise for your pet, while allowing them the opportunity for a mid-day 'potty" break. For many larger pets, its more than just a walk, says Melanie. Many play frisbee, fetch and even go swimming in the summer. It can be a chance to socialize your pet with other animals, and it also helps reinforce basic obedience commands, particularly for younger dogs and puppies. For more information about walking and exercise p rams 837-8853.
