WRASTRUCTURE - One -billion dollar commit- ment to Ontario's highway system in 2000-01. lowing a surplus in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year of $654 mil- lion. That good news was fuelled by $5.3 billion more in provin- cial revenues than anticipated and an economic growth rate of 5.7 per cent last year, the min- ister said. He noted that was a faster rate than the United States, any industrialized coun- try in the G-7 or any other province in Canada. The minister went further with the scales analogy, promising balance between 67 additional tax cuts, additional money for social programs and more money to reduce the debt. The money belongs to the -then and women who work hard to raise their families and pay their taxes," he said adding, "We will not lose sight of that as we turn our energies to tack- ling the burden of debt... the government's goal is to reduce the debt by at least $5 billion during this mandate" The Province anticipates the extra revenue for the debt will come from continuing its poli- cy of tax reductions to fuel the economy. Mr. Evcs said. "The evidence is irrefutable. Mr. Speaker. Tax cuts do create jobs, more than 700.000 jobs since 1995 - The mmis:cr an- nouncxd the government will rettun $I billion to all Ontan- ans who paid tax in 1999 — a dividend of Lip to $200 each. -Allowing Ontarians to keep more of their own hard-earned money... has meant that they we spending more and invest- ing more, boosting our econo- my and creating jobs:' he said. Other tax cuts will 'include reducing the tax rate for the lowest earners by five per cent and an unannounced reduction for middle-income taxpayers. The government will follow the federal government's lead from its recent budget and will return full indexation to the personal income tax system to eliminate bracket creep. As well, corpo- rate tax rates will decrease from 15.5 to eight per cent by 2005, starting with a one -point redaction immediately.

This date also marked the 330th anniversary of the Hudson's Bay Company, a retail icon that has responded to the shopping needs of Canadians through five centuries. The first Bay store in Pickering is 103,000 square feet and employs 230 full and part time associates. It intro- duces a unique shopping experience and a new standard in style and cus- tomers service excellence. On hand for the official ribbon cutting were Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, Store Manger Michael Symonds and Bay Vice -President Heather Andrechuck. The day featured many special events including a chanty challenge and, cheque presentation with pro- ceeds of $3,330 going to the North Pickering Family and Youth Action Centre. There was also entertainment by "The Royz Band" and "The Monday Night Crew", performances by the Toronto Argonaut Cheerleaders and appearances by Argos Paul Masotti and Adrian "Pee Wee" Smith who signed autographs and gave away Argo tickets. Entertainment for the children was provided by Professor Fripps who created balloon sculptures and performed magic tricks. With more than 27 years of department store experience, Store Manager Michael Symonds joined the Bay in 1999 as Store Manager of the Eglinton Square location in Toronto. "We're very excited to open our new Bay store in Pickering and offer a new and unique shopping experience that meets the needs of our customers' busy lifestyles;' he says. "As the first Bay store in Pickering, we're proud to be part of this community and look forward to delivering style, value and unparalleled customer service in an effortless shopping environment." The store is designed in the Bay's new and innovative suburban format. The first of its kind for department stores in Canada, it offers Canadian consumers what they asked for - more style, simplicity and ease of shopping. Strike has direct impact on parents, children Children's Aid visits curtailed nr.au,. orstaff shortage BY CINDY UPSHALL Staff Writer Families involved with the children's aid are feeling the sting of a strike at the agency. Parents are having their ac- cess restricted due to a lack of staff at the Children's Aid So- ciety of Durham Region to su- pervise visits. An Ajax woman, whose 10 - year -old son• who is in the care of the Durham CAS, was un- able to have a regularly sched- uled visit last Thursday be- cause of the staff shortage caused by the strike of 120 CUPS employees at the agency. The workers walked off the job Wednesday when negotia- tions failed to reach an agree- ment between the two sides. The potential loss of future visits is very upsetting to her son she says explaining "now to the point of taking away his visits they've taken away his hope-" The Ajax mother, whose son was put in to CAS care after she went into a coma last year as a result of ongoing health problems caused when she was hit by a drunk -driver 10 years ago, says while it's bad enough she has to visit her son in the presence of a case- worker only twice a week, hav- ing visits cancelled is intolera- ble. JIM DUBRAY Y know it's Irving and frustrating for parents who want to see their kids...' She says when she has called to ask questions about rescheduling visitation "every- one says you have to talk to the caseworker. "How do you talk to a case- worker when they're on strike'!" Jim Dubray, executive di- rector of Durham CAS says the agency is trying to ensure vis- its continue, as well as dealing with cases on an emergency basis. However visits likely won't be on the usual schedule or be as frequent. "I'm just trying to schedule them so we can handle them;" he says, noting CAS manage- ment staff is trying to pick up the responsibilities of the strik- ing workers. "We just can't handle the full schedule." He says 1 know it's trying and frustrating for parents who want to see their kids... I'm very sympathetic to the frustra- tion that the parents are feel- ing." What makes the visits more difficult. he says, is reluctance on the part of volunteer dri- vers, who bring the children to the CAS offices on Rossland Road, to cross picket lines, Mr. Dubray says. Another woman had her visit cut short Friday when her three -month-old son was 45 minutes late arriving for one of two regularly scheduled visits. "It's bad enough I have to see him through (CAS), let alone have to get my access cut short because of pickets:' she says. She says she's not even al- lowed to take him outside "be- cause I can't get in touch with anyone to ask" The CUPE workers are on strike over heavy workloads and wages. The two sides are expected to resume bargaining on Thursday, May 4.

Predictions were our province would hum along at a 3.8 per cent clip, an incredible rate at that. Imagine the tax boon for the government when the final numbers were tallied and the finance minister found himself sitting on a $645 -million surplus. That's because Ontario grew by a whopping 5.7 per cent, more than the rest of Canada, more than the United States, in fact more than any other G-7 country. Wow'. What's not to like? The finance minister promised years ago he'd have the budget balanced by 2001. In- stead, he made it a full year earlier and had plenty of money left over to spare. So, the Province will bring forth its 20 percent provin- cial income tax cut, to be granted over five years. That's on top of the 30 per cent cut delivered in its last mandate. In addition there are tax cut presents for small business and other investors. Health care funding has hit record levels, having grown from $17.4 billion in 1995 to more than $22 billion in the coming year. That's a jump of 30 per cent, far more than the increase in Ontario's population over the same time period. Investment in special education has been boosted as has the amount to be spent on child protection which chil- dren's aid societies across Ontario will surely appreciate. Of particular local interest, there was no mention of a new Durham University though the finance minister did refer to the SuperBuild project to build a new manufac- turing engineering centre in Durham, in partnership with the fcds and General Motors. Still with post -secondary education, there is a vow to create some 70.000 new post-sccondary spaces in col- Iegcs and universities across Ontario to keep pace with population growth in the province and to meet the needs of the double cohort in 2004. In the end, it's a budget that's very hard to quarrel with, though voices of opposition, as always, will be heard. Mr. Evcs played Santa Claus in May, secure in the white-hot Ontario economy. excited about job growth and thrilled with the generous surplus he has at his disposal. We can only hope the growth continues for with increased growth comes more tax dollars which can be used to fund the health care, education and social programs we depend upon and cherish. Speed kills Slow down those reckless drivers It's not often we'd advise people to take the Law into their own hands. But. there arc exceptions to every rule. And, this is one: of those exceptions. Pickering resident, can soxxh take the law into their own hands to stop criminals who pone a risk to law-abiding indi- viduals which is an even greater threat than that presented by purse snatchers, bttglan and even most armed robbers. The culprits are otherwise upstanding citizens who'd never contemplate committing a crime. But, many of those same people without a blemish in their background commit a crime on a daily basis, an oftener which cold have the most heinous of outcomes — taking the life of another human. We're talking about the increasing number of Pickering residents who break the law every time they get behind the wheel of their vehicle, turning it into a deadly weapon. They're the drivers who race along Pickering streets as el- ementary schools end classes for the day the motorist, who flout the posted speed limit on roads in heavily populated areas, the lead -foots who put the pedal to the metal and im- peril everyone in their way. You'll he able to put the brakes on those who drive at breakneck speeds in the near future with Monday's official launch of the Neighbourhood Traffic Watch program in Pick- ering. A joint effort of the City, the Town of Ajax and Durham Regional Police, the program will see community groups in- terested in deterring reckless driving issued a radar gun and a speed display board which advises an approaching motorist how fast they're travelling. Drivers clocked above the speed limit will for the first of- fence receive a notice from police advising them to slow down. Officers will deal more harshly with repeat offenders who police witness speeding. Pickering community groups wanting to reserve the radar gum and speed display board can call the City at 4204630. Go ahead, make our day. Take the law into your own hands. Before a speeder takes your life or a loved one.

Mr. Hams" Karen welch, Pickering Don't jaywalk To the editor: I would like to comment on the well-written and sensitive column by Tun Munro headlined 'A cau- tionary tale, in memory of Cora" in the March 22 News Advertiser. As a father of a girl who attends St. Mary Cadwlic Secondary School, I know how the school was affected by the death of Cora Ncal- Palma. It was a tragic story of a young person being hit by a car. Mr. Munro ends his column with a warring for drivers to be careful. Good advice. But there i something missing. The driver in- volved in this tragic accident was not speeding and was not at fault. A more careful driver would trot have prevented the accident. Could it have been avoided? Each day I drive past St. Mary's many students jaywalking. y Dunbarton High Schoolm the sae thing. Often I come too close to these stu- dents who seem to have no fear of the cars that are passing within a foot or two of them. That said, I re. member when I did the same thing going to my high school. Teens have a feeling of immor- ality. They trust their reflexes and their judgment of cars' speed and ar distance. They don't seem to real- ize that many drivers e not used to people crossing busy strects while the traffic is flowing. Too often this causes accidents or near accidents as drivers slow too fast or swerve, making it more dangerous for those crrnsing the strect and for other drivers. There is a reason jaywalking is against the law. It is dangerous. This law is all but impossible lei en- force so it is up to the pedestrians to do the right thing. 1 know that teens will not change their habit of jaywalking. j Nevertheless, Mr. Munro could have included a warring for the stu- dents. Please cross at intersections. Failing that, please crus chic street ercount with me caution and don't cnt ext the drivers seeing you, especial- ly at night, o r acting the way you think they will. Larry Newnan. Pickering Tories have Long memories Former backroom boy could suffer error of his ways Tom Long is appealing for votes from Ontario Progressive Conserv- atives, but he should he hoping they, have forgotten him in his earlier in- carnation. This was when Mr. Long, Pre- mier Mike Harris's former cam- paign chairman now running for leader of the Canadian Alliance was president of the Ontario PC Association more than a decade ago and rash enough to accuse fel- low Tories who had run the province until a short time earlier of having no principles. Mr. Long's charge came after the long -serving Tory premier William Davis retired and his suc- cessor Frank Miller was tunable to hold the fort and the party that held power for 42 successive years was reduced in two elections to its low- est, 16 seats in a 130 -seat legisla- ture. Mr. Long, who was thinking of running for provincial leader but abandoned this idea, said the main cause was toward the end the party lost touch with its roots. The Tory hierarchy froze party rank -and -file out of any meaningful role in generating ideas or influenc- ing policy, he said, and handed this to a'chosen few' including unelect- ed political professionals. These Tories abandoned doing what was right, he said, in favour of what paid experts told them could be sold safely without scaring vot- ers. Instead of staying up at night wrestling with issues of the day, they called pollsters and asked them what to do. "All the important final deci- sions;' Mr. Long said in a well- turned phrase, "were made by four guys sifting through polling data in a downtown hotel room:' Mr. Long said this style of gov- ernment may have worked in the past, but voters had awakened and started to lank for government that Eric Dowd would lead and not metely reflect polls. Mr. Long did not name narnes, but it was clear he refened to Mr. Davis and his government and there was also a lot of truth in what he said. Mr. Davis was basically right of centre and supportive of free enter- prise, but bent to accommodate other views including some further to the left - it was why he was called a Red Tory. Mr. Davis expanded social pro- grams and government s, regu- larly increased the minimum wage but never so anyone would get fat on it, regulated many business op- erations and even made conces- sions to unions, all of which of- fended Mr. Long's already ultra - right conservativism. Mr. Davis also had been tooted by others, although never before publicly by any Tories, to take polls into account to a large degree in shaping policies and like almost all premiers, including Mr. Harris later, had a small coterie of elected and unelected advisers who met and handed down their decisions to MPPs to rubber-stamp. Mr. Long's description fitted Mr. Davis like a glove. Many also liked Mr. Davis and his policies, however, and Mr. Davis and his advisers could argue their pragmatic positions helped keep their party in power another 14 years when political fashions were changing and voters might have been expected to grow tired of a party which had governed since the early 1940s, during which they were able to continue largely con- servative themes. Mr. Harris showed he also dis- agtieed with Mr. Davis's policies by taking a giant snide to the right and saying several times previous gov- ernments of all stripes grossly over- spent and while he was concerned particularly u New Democrats and Liberals he would not exempt his own party, but did not use the same scathing language as Mr. Long. Mr. Harris also snubbed Mr. Davis by not inviting any of his Seam into his inner circle of advis- ers and not asking the former pre- mier to endorse him in his first two elections as leader. Mr. Davis joined in rallies for local Tory candidates in those elec- tions because he always has been a loyal soldier when his party called, never missing, for example, lend- ing his support in federal elections. But when Mr. Harris felt tate Liberals threatening and finally asked Mr. Davis to endorse him in last June's election, the former pre- mier forgave the snubs and intro- duced him at a meeting and even Harris'shad kind words for Mr. Harris's policies. Many who had allegiance to Mr. Davis have managed to transfer it to Mr. Harris with varying degrees of comfort because they have felt at home with his further-righl view; or he is after all leader or it is diffi- cult to stay off a successful band- wagon. But Mr. Long is not premier or party leader and he [old these To- ries in memorable terms they had no principles. They may not be all that ready to forgive and forget.

As one of the lop graduating fe- male players in the province, Clarke already had her share of sales pitch- es from post -secondary Schools in the United States. Now it was time to make the choice. Clarke wasted little time fulfilling a verbal commitment by putting her signature the other day to a full ath- letic scholarship offer from the Uni- versity of Minnesota - an $18.000 (U.S.) annual gilt. That's the same schoxtl that won the unofficial NCAA championship a few weeks ago with Mis%issauga's Nadine Muzerall, the only other Canadian on the Golden Gophers roster, finishing the year as the top goal -scorer in the United States. Funny, but Clarke. a diminutive sniper from Pickering's Dunbanon High, is the same player who didn't impress provincial coaches enough two years ago to make the Ontario under -18 Squad. ..For a teenager, picking the right school can he a tough decision.' said Clarke, who scored 28 goals and set up 17 more for her whool team. -Minnesota was my first visit. 1 met the players and really liked the place but what impressed me was the home visit of the coach" Minnesota head coach Laura Halldorx,n said she spotted Clarke at a tournament a few years ago and followed her progress. "Her speed and work ethic really stood out and the offensive skill% will help us right away:' Said Halldor%on, whose team finished with a 32-6-1 record. "We did a lot of talking and I know she liked us but getting her name on the paper confirmed it. We're thrilled" Dunharton was the only school in Durham Region p, dance around the teacher turmoil and ice a team, so the Spartans were limited to tournament and exhibition games in posting a 9- 7-1 record. Clarke was 7 years old when her mother signed her up for figure skat- ing classes, and she remembers her instructor telling her that she skated like a hockey player. Two years later, she was playing in a rep league. ..There is nothing that 1 enjoy more than hockey and I hope this ex- perience and hard work will help me reach the next step someday - to play for Team Canada:' said Clarke.

During the "quiet" time of the off-season. there is still lots of work to be done to organize for next year. One such activity is the compilation of the 2(XX)- 2(X)I h,nspiel calendar. All the clubs in the Toronto area need to confirm dates for their Mmspiels, and Mak ice time. Historically, the Toronto Curling Association (TCA) and the Ontario Curling Association (OCA) have each produced separate calendars for their respec- tive activities. The OCA has undertaken to combine the icalendars for next season, with a specific sheet for the local GTA clubs. Another initiative now under the OCA jurisdiction is the production of a club map booklet. One of the local benefits to hosting the World Curling Champi- onships in Toronto in 1986 was the creation of the first map booklet.
