P I C K E R I N G' S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1 9 6 5 Draft book of `inspirational' readings goes to public Durham public school board seeks input BY M1KF. RUT.4 Staff Wriler A draft book of inspirational readings to be used in local public schools is going to the Durham community for consultation. The resource hinder has been in the works since the board last June agreed to address the spiritu- al needs of students by creating a book of readings which can be used to start the school day. A committer which includes faith groups, municipal race relations committees, board staff and school communitv council mem- bers was given the task of collect- ing appropriate material. "We feel that the community committee has done an excellent job;' said Norm Powers, opera- tions superintendent for the Durham District School Board. The draft book will soon be sent to school community coun- cils and local groups for their input. The board is to approve the re- source binder in October and make it available for use in schools by the end of the year.

DRIV THR OPEN ALL EASTER WEEKEND (Nexta movisgaxs) ON SALE $2994 �QH OF APRIL Wye evastates ecology, foes charge Extension into western way for airport, protesters BY SUSAN O'NIiILL Stajj'Wriler PICKERING — Supporters of the 407 Action Group and local environ- mentalists who've staged regular protests this week along the route for the eastern extension of Hwy. 407 are holding a vigil and tree planting in the Rouge Valley today. The Pickering and Markham resi- dents opposed to the highway con- struction are hosting a prayer vigil and memorial service for the trees cut down to make way for the 407 Friday from I to 5 p.m. at Cedarena near Reesor Road and 14th Avenue in Markham. "It's almost all clear-cut now. lt's amazing;' says Karen Deer of the 407 Action Group. She reports workers have been "bulldozing and clear -cut- ting trees” since the federal govern- ment gave the extension the green light April 13. "It's devastating to be in the valley and to hear it" Members of the environmental group are upset by the recent decision of Federal Fisheries and Oceans Min- ister Herb Dhaliwal to allow the ex- tension without referring the project to the federal environment minister for an independent panel review. It "was a decision that served only the economic interests of a very few, at the expense of the taxpayers of the GTA and of the beautiful and ecologi- cally significant farmlands, forests and streams of the Duffin -Rouge. - says Ms. Deer. "1'm just shaking my head. This is the highway to nowhere. This is not a highway to Peterborough. it's a high- way to Brougham. The construction company who bought it only bought it to Brock Road" Pickering resident George Sim- gusa, who participated in protests at a Hwy. 407 construction site Tuesday, says he witnessed "the reckless devas- tation of trees with no concern what- soever for the protection of the small creeks in the area" Mr. Siragusa adds, "The extension of the 407, the butchering of the (Oak Ridges) Moraine in Richmond Hill and (York Region's) proposed instal- lation of (a water) pipeline system (through Pickering) are three converg- ing components of one and the same process by which beautiful and desir- able southern Ontario's natural envi- ronmental assets are disappearing at -an alarming rate under tete sprawl of urbanization. "The greatest paradox is that in a country ruled by politicians control- ling huge bureaucratic apparatuses at the municipal, regional and provincial level, there is no provision to stop any of these processes which are opposed by millions of constituents," he says. "Who is giving the orders in Ontario, our elected politicians or the construc- tion industry?". Mr. S;ragusa reports he wrote to Mr. Dhaliwal during the public input period on the government's environ- mental screening report because he's "concerned with the devastation of the natural watershed of the Rouge River." He adds another concern is that, 4- JANET ECKER 'It's too bad we had a delay that 1 don't think was merited.' GEORGE SIRAGUSA 'No concern whatsoever for the protection of the small creeks in the area.' "Once the 407 has been extended to Brougham there will be a very power- ful incentive to resuscitate the Picker- ing airport project " Meanwhile, local politicians like Pickering -Ajax -Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker and Durham Region chairman Roger Anderson, both of whom main, tain the highway is much-needed to improve the infrastructure here, agreed with the minister's decision last week that the extension "is not likely to cause significant negative en- vironmental effects as long as proper mitigation measures are put in place." "It's too bad we had a delay that I don't think was merited," says Ms. Ecker. "But, (Mr. Dhaliwal) made the right decision" The education minister, who be- lieves the environmental issues related to the extension have been adequately addressed, adds she's hopeful the delay in approving the project won't stall the planned opening date for the highway in the fall of 2001.

A whopping 650 surveys came into our offices over the past month and today we present the results for vour consideration. The bottom line on amalgamation - at least our survey says - is 61 per cent of you support it, while 39 per cent are against it. Our survey results come largely from those over 40, married with children who have some level of post- secondary education and who've lived here for at least 10 years. More men than women sent in surveys, at a rate of about 55-45 per cent. The most popular pro -amalgamation choice. but not by much, would see three new municipalities created: Ajax- Pickering. jax- Pickering. Oshawa-Whitby-Clarington; and north Durham. One super city• that is the ending of the eight municipalities and just a region remaining. was the second most popular pick while a two-way north -south split - A jax- Pickering-Oshawa-Whitby-Clar- ington; and Uxbridge-Scugog-Brock was a close third. There were several clear-cut trends revealed. A Pickering -Ajax marriage in some form seems all but a fait accompli to our readers. Pickering residents are almost unanimous in favouring amalga- mation while Ajax residents are far more ambivalent about that prospect. Oshawa wants to expand and most of those from the motor city who sent in surveys like the idea of a merger with Whitby and Clarington. However, Whit- by residents want no part of a union with Oshawa. Clarington, Scugog and Uxbridge readers are split on amalga- mation in general and are less certain about what they want to see. Regional council generally fared less well than local councils with our read- ers. There's a sense people don't know what regional council does which isn't a solid endorsement for a form of govern- ment in place in Durham since 1973. To those who would suggest people don't care about amalgamation and its prospects• we beg to differ. We have the surveys to prove it and you can be sure that when the Province makes a decision on the issue - and it will be- when not if - there will surely be a major local reac- tion. There's little doubt this issue won't be going away anytime soon and the ul- timate outcome of the process could have a tar -reaching impact on all of us. Our services, tax rates, economic devel- opment - all might well be influenced by a major change in governance. We know our readers care because they've told us they do. Mahe sure your local and re- gional politicians know what you think. Keep them accountable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers acting like they think they're better than students To the editor: I am .ick and tired of our teachers whining and moaning about teacher testing and extra- curricular activities. Our students who are entering Make mom feel really p special Save it with the ironing boards and steak knives, will ya? Mother's Day is less than a month away. This is to inform children and husbands that there is still plenty of time to come up with a decent gift idea. After all, Mother's Day is when children are supposed to pay homage to the most important woman in their lives. The one who endured waking up to vomiting instead of breakfast. Who got looks of disgust from everyone in the restaurant when she ordered the pineapple tuna sandwich with extra gravy. Who endured life's most painful experience so that the unborn child in- side of her could take its first breath of fresh air. This special woman has provided them the most precious gift of all and deserves to be showered with presents and embraced with thanks and love. However, this is not always the case. Everyone knows about the lame gifts usually passed on during Moth- er's Day. There are the traditional presents of flowers, candy, chocolates and dinner, but these have all been done to death. I spoke with some mothers and Nathan nkowski pion Shaper asked them about the worst gifts they have ever received. Among the winners were a garden hose holder, a set of steak knives, a goldfish and an ironing board. Talk about rocking her feel special. Many children have also used an- other popular Mother's Day gift: the coupon book. This is a hand -made booklet of promises that are considerably sweet, but none -the -less useless. For instance: A `free' car wash or massage or home-made meal, which usually consists of kraft dinner with cut-up hot dogs. Not exactly gourmet, but it's the thought that counts. Other coupons for mowing the lawn, shovelling the driveway or clean- ing the house are often found inside. You know, the stuff kids are sup- posed to do anyway. Children seem to think mothers fancy something useful or practical. We should be thinking of something mom's might not necessarily need, and wouldn't normally buy for themselves. Sone ideas, you ask? Maybe a full day at the spa, where they could enjoy a little role reversal and for once be on the receiving end of some heavy-duty pampering - Husbands should take responsibili- ty in cases where the children are too young to afford anything good. How about a gift certificate for a re- laxing massage? Maybe a therapist could pound out some of the stress that is balling up in [nom's back, likening her to the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Or, for maxirhum brownie points, call her mother and find out her favourite meal as a little girl and make it just like mom used to. You're sure to be in her good books until at least Christmas and watch the presents roll in! E -Mail your comments on this opinion to shoustonedurham.net Include your full name and community of residence. Grade 9 this fall are expected to pass a Grade 10 literacy test. If these students fail the test do you think that will give them incen- tive to go further with their edu- cation'? (i have a severely learn- ing disabled child and i know that he will have extreme diffi- culty with this test and he will give up on his education). High school students must also perform community work before they can graduate and are expected to put in their commu- nity service on their own time without pay. Do the teachers believe they are better than these students by thinking they do not have to be tested and looking to be paid for supervising extra -curricular ac- tivities for the youngsters when those activities should be part of going to school" In regards to the recent con- ference where the teachers gave Minister of Education ]anet Ecker the silent treatment, if our students had decided to do this in class when asked a question by the teacher do you think they would have been reprimanded?

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 21, 2000 PAGE 7 A/P Kim Phuc now makes her home in Ajax Mother recalls horrors of the Vietnam war BY LESLEY McMA.STER Staff j Writer It's a horrifying image — a nine-year-old girl running up a road screaming "Too Hot, Too Hot" as the hurnt skin peels away from her naked body. In a split -camera flash. Kim Phuc captured the world's atten- tion, pointing out the cruelties and hardship of war in Vietnam. Today, as a 37 -year-old mother of two, she travels around the world delivering a similar message, but forgiveness and coming to terms with the past are now part of the mix. ..I want to leave you with a new way of looking at my picture," Mrs. Phuc told a group at Hope Christian Reformed Church in Prince Albert Thursday. "When you see the little girl running up the road and see she is crying out. See it not as a cry of pain, but as a cry of peace.- Her eace"Her words of pain and inspira- tion drew both tears and sometimes laughter from the shocked audi- ence. The church went silent as her tale unfolded. A Canadian citizen since 1998, Mrs. Phuc now lives in Ajax with her husband Toan Bui, who she married in Cuba in 1992. They de- fected to Canada on the way home from honeymooning in Moscow. She is now a sought-after speaker and a United Nations vol- unteer goodwill ambassador for UNESCO. Mrs. Phuc has also cre- ated The Kim Foundation to care for today's children of war, and is the subject of a new book entitled 'The Kim Phuc Story: the Girl in the Picture' by Denise Chong. But her early childhood was spent in a small south Vietnam vil- lage, where Mrs. Phuc says her family of five brothers and six sis- ters enjoyed a big house, lots of land and many animals thanks to her mother's popular noodle shop. "I felt like a princess. I was so proud of our beautiful house. We had everything;' she says. Things began to change in the summer of 1972 when south Viet- namese soldiers came knocking on the doors of that beautiful house looking for shelter. Her family moved themselves to a nearby tem- ple thinking they would be safe until events took a tragic turn June 8. "I remember we were in the temple for three days and on the third day after lunch we heard a noise like an airplane;' she re- counted for the group. "'Ilse sol- diers told us they heard the sym- bols for bombs and told us to run out as quickly as we could" She ran out onto the road first with her brothers and cousins while her parents and uncles and aunts followed carrying the younger children. But what they didn't know was they were running into a miscalculated napalm attack lighting them literally on fire. Jour- nalists just happened to be in the area at the time and Nick Ut cap- tured Mrs. Phuc's image on film, winning the 1972 Pulitzer prize for the photograph. "I didn't even know he had taken my picture. The only thing on my mind was run:' she recalled. "A soldier gave me a drink and then poured water over me but be- cause napalm burns under the skin, it just cooked more. The pain was so terrible, I just lost conscious- ness. Photographers put down their cameras and rushed her to a hospi- tal where staff expected her to suc- cumb to the third-degree burns to over half her body. But Mrs. Phuc's family, with the help of a friend, had her transported to a burn unit where her treatment began. In 14 months, she sustained 17 operations to repair her charred skin. "My first memory is every morning at 8 am. nurses putting me in a bath with special medicine to make it easier for my dead skin to come off," she explained. 'It was so painful and I would cry. Sometimes I would pass out. My father would just sit beside me and cry." Returning to her village after treatment, Mrs. Phuc says her fam- ily was suddenly faced with deal- ing with poverty. Her own person- al battles began in trying to cope with the scars across her back and throughout her left arm, and the lack of mobility as a result of her burns. They also caused her head to be slumped to the side. "Ilse pain never disappears. It's still there, but I've learned to deal with it - especially with the change of weather. If it gets painful, I mas- sage it with cream, go for a walk or do something else," she explains. But, Mrs. Phuc says for a long time she had fears of never finding a husband able to look past her scars and of missing out on having a family. She escaped these fears by delving into her dream of being a doctor, which was partly grati- tude for the medical teams who had helped heal her wounds. Just as she was accepted to a medical school in Saigon, the gov- ernment tracked down the girl in the picture and Mrs. Phuc says "she became a victim all over again" She was forced to leave her studies behind and make herself available full-time for the Commu- nist propaganda machine. She re- members being watched 24 hours a day with thoughts of wanting to die but her religion wouldn't allow it. Instead, she turned to working on her English and became partic- ularly interested in reading the Bible and the New Testament. Her sister's Christian brother-in-law took her to his church one. Sunday and the pastor's message instilled within her a sense of hope to over- come her physical pain, she says. "I really needed that peace and for someone to take away my bur- den," she adds. Another turning point came in 1984 when a German journalist took her to his homeland for an op- eration. This was to be her last sur- gical procedure and it concentrated on increasing the mobility of her arm and correcting her slumping head. While it made her normal again, Mrs. Phuc said it was her first experience in a free country and the realization suddenly hit her she "wasn't free at all" Appealing to Vietnam's prime minister to allow her to finish her studies, she was sent to Cuba, an- other Communist country, to study Spanish and English at the Univer- sity of Havana. That's where she met her husband and heard the ru- mours of other students being able to defect to Canada on a flight from Moscow which stopped over in Gander, Newfoundland. She made the decision for both she and her husband on the return flight and hasn't looked back since, crediting God with giving her the strength to appeal to Canada's im- migration officials that day. "It was so cold - that's all I knew about Canada. But I had fall- en in love with the Canadian flag," Mrs. Phuc adds. Today, her husband is studying to be a missionary. She raises their sons with help from her parents, who are now in Canada as well. She has even met the man re- sponsible for the napalm attack, which wounded her, on a pilgrim- age to Washington's Vietnam memorial in 1996. Mrs. Phuc says even he is a victim of war, strug- gling with alcoholism to try and drown his pain from the war. "I learned the war made every- body suffer. They suffered too but in a different way. We need to help each other have forgiveness, she says. "Reconciliation is important to all of our lives:' As for her own healing, Mrs. Phuc's answer is simple. "I believe it was the fire of the bomb which burned my body, and the skills of a doctor which healed my skin, but it was the power of God which healed my heart," she adds. Durham reduces regional portion of property tax DURHAM from page I i by 1.26 per cent this year, which translates into an annual cost saving of approximately 513 on a home assessed at $150,(x)). The finance committee had recommended a tax decrease: of just under one per cent, but an agreement on the administration of the Provincial Offences Act (POA) Wednesday resulted in a further tax decrease. That decision also means ap- proximately 51.7 million in rev- enues from traffic tickets and other provincial offences will be dispersed to the Region and its eight member municipalities by the end of the week. "The number -one highlight is the end number," said finance and administration committee chairman and Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson. "The reduction of 1.26 per cent is the largest reduction in taxes, either regional or local, since the inception of Durham Region " Coun. Nicholson reports the budget decrease was made possi- ble this year due to good man- agement, continued assessment growth throughout Durham and a 55.3 -million reduction in provin- cial downloading costs. The provincially downloaded services costs for Durham in 21(X)0 total $69.7 million, down from $75 million last year. That decrease is due to a reduction of $4.8 million in the net down- loaded social assistance costs of - 18.8 f18.8 million. Social housing estimates for 2000 have also decreased by ap- proximately $1.7 million and the Region will receive $300,000 in Community Reinvestment Funds. The 2000 current and capital budgets also include an increase in regional road capital expendi- tures of $2.6 million and a hike in Durham Regional Police spending of $2.8 million. "This is a win-win budget for the residents, a great budget for the staff and the police:' Durham Region chairman Roger Ander- son told reporters, noting Durham Regional Police Ser- vices will be able to hire an addi- tional 20 officers and will be able to continue operating the Air 1 helicopter. "I think everybody on council should be happy, I think the resi- dents of Durham should be pleased. We worked extremely hard to keep our numbers at zero and we came in less than that:' Mr. Anderson said. "The residents of Durham Re- gion came out the big winners today:" ".1y :Y 5AIP PARE I IVIS ADVERTISER FRIDAII fornO%, April 21, 2000 John Baxter, President of Metroland Printing, Publishing and Distributing Ltd.

The Silver Quill Award recognized Mr. Baxter for more than twenty-five years of service to the Ontario community newspaper industry. Mr. Baxter's second award was for being -one of fifty people who have made significant business and personal contributions to the community newspaper industry in the past fifty years.

Ten years later he became executive vice-president before moving over to serve as president of Torstar's Metrospan in 1980 and 1981. When the two companies became one in 1981 (Torstar -owned Metroland Printing, Publishing and Distributing Ltd.), Mr. Baxter became responsible for it as President and has been the only person to serve in that role since the company's inception.

Seniors urged to take the PATH to avoid falls Falls are a major health risk for people over the age of 50. That fact has prompted PATH (Physiotherapy Active Treatment towards Health) to launch a cam- paign designed to increase peo- ple's awareness of how they can prevent falls. The Durham Orthopedic Clinic in Ajax will take part in the initia- tive during the week of April 24 when it will distribute information pamphlets, conduct risk assess- ments and host free balance class- es for people who are experiencing falls. Last year, 68 per cent of all the days people over 65 years spent in the hospital due to injury were the result of falls.

They don't have to be if you follow a few simple suggestions. When you are planting a garden, lay down some mulch on top of the soil around your plants. Not only will it reduce the weed population in the garden, but it will also keep the soil moist and reduce the amount of time you need to spend watering. Pruning can also be kept to a minimum if you choose your plants wisely when purchasing plant material for your garden. Try to choose plants that fit well into the space you have available. In small areas dwarf slow-growing evergreens like Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper, Blue Star Juniper, Dwarf Alberta Spruce, Dwarf Hinoki False Cypress and Rose Daphne are ideal. These can be mixed with smaller shrubs such as Dwarf Lilac. Compact Lemoine Deutzia, Dwarf Rockspray Cotoneaster, Potentilla and compact Spireas like "Thor "Goldmound" or "Shirbana". There are many annuals, perennials and roses that are very self-sufficient and beautiful in the garden. Some annuals that do not require any deadheading are Temari UHfl a„NQF � 173b Pkka.iwg BLUE SKY JUNIPER t pb.

Low maintenance perennials include ground covers (Ajuca, Sedum, creeping Vinca minor), single short Peonies, Daylilies, Astilbe, Huechera, summer bulbs (lilies) Sedum -Autumn Joy", ornamental grasses. Rudbeckia and Coneflowers. Planting berry bushes are an easy way to get fresh fruit from your garden without the spraying necessary with some fruit trees. Roses are often a plant that people associate with high maintenance, but there are many beautiful rose varieties that are almost maintenance free. These include the Carpet Series, Morden, David Austin, Explorer Series and Rugosa varieties which have better disease resistance and winter hardiness than some of the more common varieties of bushes and climbers. Take time this season to enjoy your garden. With a little care in the selection of your plants you can spend more time enjoying the view and less time working in it.

Broil is the key word whether it's your burger or your child's. Our pure beef burger is placed on a conveyor chain and the burger floats on the chain and it is flame broiled almost like you would do it on your barbecue. A lot of the fat drips off and when it comes out at the end the fat is cut. You can actually taste that real beef taste. Our burgers are juicy but not so much so that the fat drips all over your hands. Even more important is that every burger is done exactly the same. At the start of a shift the speed of the chain is set and each burger is done exactly the same. No human error. The burger is not turned over and over in its fat on a grill and it's delicious. We don't dress our burgers in advance. It's the way you want it And here's something you should kpow, we have all fresh toppings including lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mayo, mustard, ketchup, relish and our own special sauce.

Sun. 12 - 6 P.M. 905-426-6242 In Paris, outdoor restaurants are for lovers BY RAY CHATELIN Special to the News Advertiser The French know. They always have and have never tried to hide the fact. The essence of Paris is not in its mon- uments, nor in its music or in its fashion houses near the Champs Elysee. It's found in the mix of humanity that frequent the out- door cafes. Pick any single Paris cafe — morning, noon, or in the evening — and at every table there's a story unfolding. Sit and watch and it's like chapters in gothic novels come to life. You can easily pick out the types — lovers meeting, lovers separating, the lonely, the poets, the artists, students, businessmen trying to find relief from sales projections. You don't eat at a sidewalk cafe to conduct business. The French know this. So do the hal- ians and Greeks. The British don't understand this nor do the Japanese• the ti,,N eklcs or the Ger- mans.

A subtle glance, an understat- ed nod. coquettish glimpse from salad to woman or man to wine and then a sip from the glass. The French love intrigue. Even when it amounts to nothing, reac- tion is everything. A smile may acknowledge ap- proval or it might say, "Sorry. I'm taken. but it would have been nice.'* A frown may he a rejection, or a sign of disappointment. A kiss on the cheek may mean commit- ment or it might he signal that this is only friendship. It's all in the style and it's this skill of form that separates the French from other Europeans. In Greece, the style is group show- manship; in Italy it's individual flamboyance.

It's the local headquarters for the rich and the famous who want to eat out. But, no one merely enters they perform. The entrance is through a door at street level and then you descend via a staircase to the eating level in full view of everyone. Boisterous hugs and greetings fill the air as customers try to out - entrance one another. The food is incidental to the theatre. In North America, eating alone is a suggested admission of fail- ure. In Paris it's an advantage. How better to meet someone then when you're alone - and how much easier it is to play the game of cafe -language jus{ to keep in practice.
