cries for help in
addressing needs
of Pickering High
By Mike Ruta
Staf f Writer
AJAX – Pickering High
School parents and students,
hoping the 53-year-old school
will receive renewal funding
this year, may be in for a let-
down.
Jack Massie, the Durham
District School Board’s facili-
ties services superintendent,
can’t guarantee any of the
needed school improvements
will be taken care of.
“Truthfully it’s not on the
(maintenance project) list,
but direction from the
trustees could move it up,” he
says.
Parents and students have
unsuccessfully campaigned
for inclusion on the board’s
accommodation plans the
last few years. Initially they
were seeking an addition due
to overcrowding. The opening
of J. Clarke Richardson Colle-
giate eased the congestion,
but the list of repairs required
at PHS is a long one, totalling
millions of dollars.
“At this point our interest is
the safety and security of the
student body and staff as
well,” says Margaret Church-
Hawkins, the school commu-
nity council chairman. “It’s
not a safe building and parts
of it aren’t functioning prop-
erly so we want that infra-
structure attended to.”
Ms. Church-Hawkins most
often hears concerns about
the school’s heating and
water systems.
“The boiler itself has had
multiple repairs; it appears to
be functioning reasonably,
and when it does break down Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo
Margaret Church-Hawkins, chairman of the Pickering High School community council, says the board needs
to pay attention to the many repairs needed on the aging facility.

Briefly...
Pickering: Pickering Museum Village
is starring in a documentary about
two 1800s-era families.
The museum was used in a
number of scenes for ‘Sisters in the
Wilderness’, a CBC production
based on the Strickland sisters, Su-
sannah Moodie and Catherine Parr
Tr aill.
Af ter settling in the Kawartha
area, the sisters wrote extensively
about their experiences and life.
The show airs Thursday, Feb. 26
at 8 p.m.
Durham:Six motorists were
charged with drinking and driving as
a result of random RIDE spot
checks across the region late last
week.
Durham Regional Police
stopped 1,792 vehicles Thursday and
Friday at RIDE checkpoints located
in Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering and
Bowmanville.
The six were charged with dri-
ving over the legal limit of 80 mgs of
alcohol per 100 mls of blood. Four
other drivers who registered a
“Warn” after providing roadside
breath tests were slapped with 12-
hour licence suspensions.
What’s On...
Pickering:The Pickering Museum
Village is challenging families to re-
live the life of the city’s earliest set-
tlers.
During the March break, see if
you have what it takes to be a ‘Set-
tler Survivor.’ The village has creat-
ed a self-guided hike through the
woods showing the difficulties facing
early settlers as they endured their
first winter in Canada. Activities in-
clude log sawing, beautiful vistas,
nature activities, outdoor children’s
games and cooking over an open
fire.
There is a choice of trails be-
tween 0.5 and one kilometre in
length, which take approximately
one to one-and-a-half hours to com-
plete. Appropriate clothing and
footwear should be worn. Bring
along a toboggan or sled for the
children. Homemade soup is avail-
able for purchase at the end of the
journey.
‘Settler Survivor’ is Wednesday,
March 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. Admis-
sion is $2 and village is on the south
side of Hwy. 7, three kilometres east
of Brougham in the Village of Green-
wood.

health
system
earns a
long
look
District council
begins review
By Carly Foster
Staff Writer
DURHAM –The district
health council is conducting
a sweeping review of the Re-
gion’s health-care system.
Three developments in the
Region have pushed the
Durham-Haliburton-
Kawartha-Pine Ridge Dis-
trict Health Council to assess
the system, said Linda Hes-
sey, the executive director.
They include Durham’s
population increase over the
past six years, delays in pro-
jects and services at Lak-
eridge Health Oshawa and
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick-
ering, combined with a
provincial restructuring com-
mission in the late 1990s that
recommended increasing
acute care.

Chairman
questions lack
of regional input
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
DURHAM – Roger Anderson
isn’t happy with the commit-
tee that’s going to make rec-
ommendations on a perma-
nent greenbelt in the Golden
Horseshoe.
The Durham Regional
Chairman is upset the task
force is being chaired by the
mayor of a municipality that
the Oak Ridges Moraine does-
n’t run through, Burlington’s
Mayor Rob MacIsaac. Also
upsetting to Mr. Anderson,
there are no other politicians
on the task force and there is
only one representative from
Durham.
“It’s just a poor committee
with no representation... and
certainly not capable of mak-
ing decisions that affect eight
or 10 or 12 municipalities,” Mr.
Anderson said.
The McGuinty government
announced the 13-member
Greenbelt Task Force last
week. The appointments to
the task force follow the intro-
duction of the proposed
Greenbelt Protection Act in
December, which if passed,
would create a greenbelt
study area with the Golden
Horseshoe; impose a one-year
moratorium on new urban de-
velopment on rural and agri-
cultural lands within this area;

Phase 2 of growth
management
study forecasts
plenty of activity
for north Pickering
By Danielle Milley
Staff Writer
PICKERING –Central Picker-
ing’s open space and farmland
could one day make way for
25,000 new residences and
33,000 jobs.
Those are 20-year estimates
based on a structural plan rec-
ommended by the consulting
firm conducting the City’s
growth management study.
The plan is part of the final re-
port for Phase 2 that was pre-
sented to executive committee
Monday.
“The study has fulfilled the
objectives that were estab-
lished for it,” Mayor Dave
Ryan said after Monday’s
meeting. “The study has pro-
vided for a plan option that
provides for 33,000 jobs and
77,000 residents and at the
same time has given full con-
sideration to the natural envi-
ronment.”
In September, ‘Option 3’
was selected as the City’s pre-
ferred choice from five pre-
sented by Dillon Consulting.
The structural plan is a modi-
fied version of that option,
which provides for a residen-
tial neighbourhood in the
provincially-owned Seaton
lands and another in the
southern part of the Duffin-
Rouge Agricultural Preserve
called the Cherrywood neigh-
bourhood.
Ann Joyner of Dillon said
the option made the most
sense because Cherrywood
can connect easily to services
in the existing urban area
while the northern part of the
preserve, which has been des-
ignated as countryside, is
maintained for existing farm
operations and future coun-
tryside uses such as agri-
tourism.
The plan designates an em-
ployment area along the Hwy.
407 corridor, as well as provid-
ing for job opportunities with-
in the community. There is
also a major institutional node
at the intersection of Whites

and clarify the transition provisions
on development applications relating
to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conser-
vation Act.
Mr. Anderson said the act takes
power away from lower-tier munici-
palities.
“We should be able to decide where
our greenbelts should be,” he said.
“You can’t give the municipality the
ability to plan and then take it away.
“It will certainly have an impact on
the way municipalities plan their fu-
tures,” he said of the Province’s deci-
sion.
The one-year moratorium prevents
further development across Ontario;
this could stall growth in Durham, he
said, where municipalities, such as
Pickering, have essentially run out of
urban land.
“Municipalities should be able to
proceed with planning,” Mr. Ander-
son said. “Municipalities do know
how to plan their urban area.”
Russ Powell, CAO of the Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authori-
ty (CLOCA), is the only Durham rep-
resentative on the task force, al-
though he said he was not chosen to
be a voice for the Region.
“We’ll just have to see how that
plays out,” he said. “I’m not appoint-
ed as a representative of Durham Re-
gion or the Conservation Authority.”
Mr. Powell, who is also on the
board of directors of the Oak Ridges
Moraine Foundation, said he was se-
lected as an individual interested in
conservation and planning.
He said the task force is comprised
of a good range of people who bring a
range of expertise. Members repre-
sent a broad cross-section of munici-
palities, the development industry,
and recreational, environmental and
agricultural interests in the Golden
Horseshoe.
The task force is to lead the consul-
tation with the public and stakehold-
ers; provide recommendations to the
government on the scope, content
and implementation of a proposed
future greenbelt within a specified
time frame; and develop a process for
dealing with requests related to lands
affected by the Minister’s Zoning
Order and the Greenbelt Protection
Act.
and Taunton Roads that could be
used as a future college or university
site.
“(The consultants) have done a lot
of work and looked at it from the per-
spective of the environment on the
land,” said Ward 3 City Councillor
David Pickles after the meeting.
“They’ve come up with some interest-
ing proposals for people’s considera-
tion.”
The study area is in Ward 3, encom-
passing the Seaton lands in the east,
the C.P. Rail line in the south, the
Yo rk-Durham boundary on the west
and Hwy. 7 to the north.
The recommended structural plan
lays out low- and medium-density res-
idential areas, parks and designates a
large percentage of the study area as
open space.
“There’s been a lot of thought and a
lot of work that previously hadn’t
been done on the area,” Coun. Pickles
said.
Executive committee (made up of
members of council) endorsed the re-
port for circulation in advance of
council’s approval. That will allow
stakeholders and the public as much
time as possible to view the plan. The
report is to be circulated to the Min-
istry of Municipal Affairs, Region of
Durham and Toronto and Region
Conservation.
The public can also view copies of
the report at branches of the Picker-
ing Public Library or request a copy
(on paper or CD-ROM) from the
planning department.
The deadline for comments to be
submitted to the City is April 2 and
the report with comments is to be
back at council May 3.
“I am very much looking forward to
being a part of the process and lead-
ing it from the mayor’s office,” Mayor
Ryan said.

It’s time to catch
the Bee buzz again
Parish, Ryan say
communities open
for business
By Keith Gilligan
Staff Writer
DURHAM –Rather than wait
for business to come to them,
Ajax and Pickering have plans
to attract it.
During the Ajax-Pickering
Board of Trade’s annual may-
oral address, Steve Parish and
Dave Ryan said their commu-
nities are poised for growth.
The breakfast, held Tuesday at
the Annandale Golf and Curl-
ing Club, attracted an audi-
ence of about 125 board mem-
bers.
Mayor Ryan said the ratio of
residential to commercial and
industrial in Pickering is 80-20.
“It’s my objective to get that to
60-40. Admittedly that’s ag-
gressive, but achievable.
“My goal is to create an envi-
ronment inviting business to
come to Pickering,” he stated,
noting he established an advi-
sory committee of local busi-
ness leaders.
One initiative under way is
the redevelopment of the
Metro East Trade Centre
property, owned by First Pro-
fessional, which created 1,000
jobs. Among the businesses
there are Sobey’s, Sam’s Club,
and Mark’s Work Warehouse.
“These and other initiatives
will build on our other achieve-
ments,” he said.
He said the second phase of
the City’s growth management
study, which covers the Seaton
lands in north Pickering, was
released at a City meeting this
week.
Mayor Ryan said he favours
a regional airport in north
Pickering, saying it would be a
boost to the City’s economic
development.
“The Greater Toronto Air-
ports Authority will finalize a
report soon that will probably
recommend an airport. The
environmental assessment
could start by the end of the
year.”
He also spoke of “transfer-
ring Kingston Road from a
highway to a main street.
“The revitalization won’t
happen overnight. Kingston
Road is a strong opportunity
for intensification and redevel-
opment. As we move to the
north, we have to maintain in-
tensification to the south.”
In Ajax, Mayor Parish said
marketing materials produced
by the Town are “all part of a
package to attract business to
Ajax.”
The recent opening of the
Hwy. 401 interchange at Salem
Road makes available about
1,000 acres of land zoned and
serviced for industrial uses,
called Carruthers Creek Prop-
erties. “It’s a real opportunity
to market a great product.
“Ajax is well-positioned.
We’re positioned for a strong
and dynamic employment sec-
tor. If you’re looking to relo-
cate, I urge you to take a hard
look at Ajax.”
Most new business comes
from within the GTA and not
from overseas, he added.
“We’re open for business and
we’re really looking for dynam-
ic growth with these 1,000
acres,” he stated.
Ajax is also developing
urban design guidelines for the
employment lands. The aim is
“people don’t want to be locat-
ed in an employment ghetto.
They want to be in an area
with services around them.”
This year the Town is devel-
oping a “comprehensive eco-
nomic development strategy.
It will put flesh on the bones to
get employers here,” Mayor
Parish said.
Ajax also has a new video it’s
using for promotion. Included
in it are testimonials by chief
executive officers with large
companies in the town.
“We’ll sell our community.
We’re doing everything we can
to actively promote the 1,000
acres,” Mayor Parish said.
“Part of it is to get a new hotel.
We own land (at Salem Road
and Hwy. 401) and we’re mar-
keting it. We’re in intensive ne-
gotiations right now with a
purchaser.”
The Town has put “an ex-
tremely high emphasis on
transportation. Moving goods
and people are vital to busi-
ness. That’s why we partnered
with the Province and Durham
Region on the Salem Road in-
terchange.”
Ajax is also pushing for the
widening of Taunton Road as
soon as possible, he stated,
adding the two-lane is creating
a “bottleneck”. The hope is to
have the road widened to four
lanes of traffic by the end of
next year.
Mayors deliver big plans

achievable.’

4 We restarted Pickering A’s Unit 4 reactor on September 25, adding 515 megawatts of electricity
capacity to Ontario’s supply. Unit 4 has helped meet Ontario’s high demand for electricity through
the recent cold weather.
4 Pickering B station received a five-year operating licence renewal from the Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission (CNSC) and Pickering A received a two-year operating licence.
4 Our Pickering A & B employees achieved strong safety results – including working more than
7 million hours without a lost time accident.
4 We continued to meet and improve on many of our environmental targets and successfully
achieved our ISO 14001 environmental management system certification.
4 As part of our security commitment we began construction in November of two new security
buildings which will house security screening, offices and training facilities.
4 We have begun to consolidate our nuclear support staff to the Pickering area – an initiative that
will further solidify Durham Region’s position as “Energy Capital of Ontario.”
4 Through OPG’s charity campaign,Pickering Nuclear
employees contributed more than $250,000 to help
support Ontario charities
On behalf of our employees at Pickering Nuclear, I want

HERE ARE SOME OF OUR 2003 ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE’RE PROUD OF:
Mr. Massie does send repair teams
out,” she says.
However, there was a sequence of
two or three days this winter when
the school temperature was in the
50s, says Ms. Church-Hawkins, and
students had to wear their coats in
the building.
Piping to and from the boiler
needs to be replaced, she says.
There’s no water pressure in the
drinking fountains. The cafeteria is
intended for 400 students, but
roughly 1,800 students attend the
school. The single-paned windows
need replacing. The school, says Ms.
Church-Hawkins, is crumbling.
“The brick is literally falling from
the building,” she says, noting the
school’s aluminium siding is not es-
thetic, but intended to help keep the
place intact.
Mr. Massie says Pickering High
and several other Durham schools
need a host of renewal work. The
Ajax school over the next 20 years
needs $20 million worth, which he
points out includes two or three roof
replacements.
“It is a huge problem and I don’t
think we’re any worse or better than
anyone else,” he says. “Our dollars
are allocated to the last penny.”
The board receives just $3.9 mil-
lion a year from the Province to keep
its buildings in good repair. In the
current board budget, approved last
June, 61 projects totalling $13.4 mil-
lion could not be addressed, includ-
ing lighting upgrades and parking
lot paving at Pickering High. Mr.
Massie says the school has three
boilers, two of which are new.
The board has invested in Picker-
ing High, including hundreds of
thousands of dollars a few years
back for lab upgrades, he says.
Just before the provincial Tory
government was defeated, he says it
completed a first-ever inventory of
all the deferred maintenance needs
at Ontario schools.
“There was I guess an assump-
tion... that the buildings weren’t in
bad shape provincewide,” Mr.
Massie says. “It took a long time to
convince the Province that they did-
n’t really know how bad the build-
ings were.”
It’s not known if the data will
prompt the government to increase
school renewal funding in this
spring’s budget, says Mr. Massie.
Student Amanda Canavan recent-
ly told trustees that something more
than patches here and there are re-
quired. Mr. Massie admits it could be
cheaper to build a new school entire-
ly rather than do all the work.
New school or not, Ms. Church
Hawkins says the school needs to be
brought up to snuff.
“This is not about a comparison to
any other school,” she says. “This is
about meeting the standards that
have been established by the
Durham District School Board, and
we do not meet them.”
Some of the decay at Pickering High
School is visible on this pillar out front of
the school.

at t ention for
aging facility
increasing financial pressures and
all hospitals have been directed to
move toward a balanced-budget po-
sition,” Ms. Hessey said. “We’re...
concerned what the impact might
be on services in Durham Region.”
The council - which advises the
Province on health planning - is
looking at Durham’s “full spectrum”
of health services, Ms. Hessey said.
Hospitals are a large part, but at-
home care, long-term care facilities
and other community groups are
also important.
“It’s not just acute (in-hospital)
care,” Ms. Hessey said. “There’s a
strong interdependency within
those and the community-based
services.
“A c ommon issue is that this be-
comes very disconnected,” she said.
“Do we have everything in the array
of services? You begin to think
about how we can better integrate
that care...that’s really important,
particularly from a consumer per-
spective.”
The steering committee has ini-
tially chosen specific health cate-
gories to review: pediatrics, obstet-
rics, adult cancer, respiratory and
heart disease. More may be added,
Ms. Hessey said.
Looking at people who work out-
side Durham and get their health
services elsewhere will also be ex-
amined, Ms. Hessey said.
The health council is currently
gathering data from the various
health sectors, and will follow up
with stakeholder meetings in the
near future.
The final report will be taken to
an experts panel and submitted to
the Ministry of Health and Long-
Term Care.

DURHAM –Public school board
trustees say they need more money
from the Province to cover rising
utility costs.
The Durham District School
Board is sending a letter to Premier
Dalton McGuinty — with copies to
Education Minister Gerard
Kennedy, Durham MPPs, local
school community councils and On-
tario school boards — requesting
additional funding.
Business superintendent Ed Hod-
g ins says actions beyond the
board’s control spell substantial in-
creases for the board. He points to
natural gas and electricity prices, as
well as including the higher electric-
ity cost cap that takes effect April 1.
“For the current year, the total in-
crease because of rate costs is
$482,000,” he says.
In 2004/05, he estimates the cost
at $717,000.

Carly Foster earns
employment group’s
award of excellence
By Shelley Jordan
Staff Writer
DURHAM – The Durham Region
Employment Network is honouring
one of Metroland’s own with a
media award of excellence.
The award, which will be present-
ed tomorrow evening at the Gener-
al Sikorski Polish Veterans Hall in
Oshawa, recognizes the contribu-
tion made by a media representa-
tive in promoting the hiring of per-
sons with barriers to employment.
Julian Luke, DREN board chairman
said reporter Carly Foster’s articles
stood out for judges because they
explained how confusing the sup-
port network can be for agency
members because of a lack of inte-
grated public transit and stereo-
types that create barriers for dis-
abled workers.
“We don’t have a glamorous pop-
ulation,” said Mr. Luke. “When we
are presented in a public forum
(newspaper), it brings up conversa-
tions and employees are more likely
to hire someone with a disability.”
“Carly is an extremely personable
person,” said Mr. Luke. “She hon-
est-to-goodness cares about what
people are talking about. She does-
n’t rest until she gets her story and
gets it right.”
Mrs. Foster, 24, graduated from
Ryerson University with a journal-
ism degree specializing in print
journalism in the spring of 2002.
While at Ryerson, her talents were
recognized by the Toronto Star
when she won the award for most
promising reporter while serving as
editor for two campus newspapers.
Mrs. Foster became regional re-
porter for all seven Metroland news-
papers in July following her start
with the Durham division at the
Ux bridge-Times Journal in Septem-
ber 2002.

Tories
time is
right now
Liberal government’s blunder
has opened door for new party
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent
inappropriately, more heads could roll alongside
Alfonso Gagliano's and we haven't even started
into the public inquiry called by the federal Liberals.
This much we know.
What we don't know is where and when this ugly, cost-
ly mess will come to an end, how many more careers
hang in the balance, and whether the Liberals can sur-
vive this beating they're taking in the polls. At the cur-
rent rate, the majority mandate in the coming election
that seemed so certain only weeks ago doesn't appear to
be in the cards.
The problems couldn't come at a better time for the
new Conservative Party of Canada. After years of failing
to deliver a united right-wing alternative that would
bring Alliance and Progressive Conservative party
members under one roof, the recent merger has posi-
tioned the party well as it works toward selecting its first
leader and prepares for an election call. That could
come as soon as this spring, or, depending on how bad
things go for the Liberals, much later.
There is plenty to celebrate for the new party. From
the attention it is receiving through its leadership race,
to the strong, recognizable candidates it is fielding
(more than a handful of former Mike Harris caucus
members are looking to make the jump federally), the
f ledgling party's early days have gone better than it
could have scripted.
But, optimism aside, the honeymoon will last only so
long. When you also consider the voting public's general
amnesia when it comes to Liberal blunders of the past
(human resources boondoggle, anyone?) there's plenty
of work for the Conservatives to do.
They must quickly establish why they are a true alter-
native to the Liberals and why voters should offer them
a mandate.
Thus far the party's been long on rhetoric, but short
on specifics. The individual leadership hopefuls have
made stands on various topics, but much is still a mys-
tery concerning the party's general framework.
Now, more than ever, officials have to be aggressive in
reaching the public to say where the Conservatives are
positioned on key issues such as health care, the econo-
my, job growth, our armed forces, environment and in-
frastructure programs, to name but a few.
The fine tuning from a new leader can come at a later
date.
It's time for the Conservatives to lay their cards on the
table and show why they deserve your vote. Only then
will voters have a true alternative to continued Liberal
rule when they next head to the polls.
Curriculum is
way too hard
To the editor:
Re: 'Curriculum hits hard,' Jan.
30.
After reading this article, I
couldn't help but agree.
As a high school student, I have
just finished the first semester of
the second year of my secondary
education. I have found the sub-
jects I once enjoyed - math and
science - have become the sub-
jects I have now come to greatly
dislike.
Science in Grade 10 was so
overwhelming, that I fear that I
may have to retake the course.
The time frame in which teachers
are given to cover the needed ma-
terial of the course curriculum is
so short that students, including
myself, find it hard to keep up
with the rapid movement.
It is said in the article that one
in every four high school students
are unlikely to graduate. At my
high school, with a student body
of over 1,500, that would mean
that nearly 375 would not receive
diplomas at the end of their
fourth year of high school. I can
relate to this statement because
many of my peers have had to re-
take certain courses. My main
question is why remove the fifth
year of high school? What's the
hurry to push us into the 'real
world?'
With high school condensed
into four years, the selection of
our courses now carries an even
heavier weight. With a few wrong
choices we may be faced with a
delayed entrance into the real
world. Overall, The pressures of
being in high school are very in-
tense. As a student, the path I
wish to follow is a difficult deci-
sion; a decision that now has to
be made with less time.

Just build an
airport now
To the editor:
Re: 'Airport departure now
2012 at earliest,' Feb. 11.
I can't take it any longer, just
build another airport. Waiting
until 2012 is way too far off for the
people in the Greater Toronto
Area, especially because of the
dramatically increasing rate of
population.
Having only one airport serv-
ing such a great number of peo-
ple only causes problems for
those who use it. Getting to the
airport takes longer because of
the insane traffic on the highway
and great difference in distance
for the people who live outside of
Toronto.
From personal experience, I
have noticed the airport becom-
ing more and more crowded. The
effects of having more people are
less service, better chances to
lose luggage and worse security.
Like the article said, having a
second airport would take pres-
sure away from the Pearson In-
ternational Airport by having an
airport for Toronto and an air-
port for the Greater Toronto
Area. This would create more
convenience and less chaos for
people travelling.
I don't know why it's taking so
long to build, but I'll be much
happier when all I have to do is
drive a short while north to trav-
el anywhere in the world.

Celebrate
heroes all year
long
To the editor:
Re: 'Celebrate Black History
Month at the library,' Feb. 4.
I think it is a great idea to allow
people to talk and learn more
about such an amazing subject.
Although, I do feel black histo-
ry isn't just something that we
should talk about for one month
a year. I think it is important for
all to understand that there are
many heroes in history, whether
black or white, and we should use
the whole year to commemorate
all of them.
This program is a step in the
right direction. It is important to
thank and honour all those black
people who have done so much
for us all. People like Harriet Tub-
man, Martin Luther King Jr.,
Jackie Robinson, Richard Wright,
Bessie Coleman and many more,
have done so much for the world
and should be recognized.
It is amazing to see that we are
able to openly talk about the
wonderful things that black peo-
ple have done for the world, when
only 50 years ago people were
persecuting them. It is an incred-
ible step to ensure that no one is
ever in the dark about issues like
this again.

Old-time hockey
Frances Day of Brougham brought us this photo of a
hockey team in Ajax from the 1940s. Mrs. Day reports
some of the men here are wearing sweaters with the name
Defence Industries Limited, of Ajax, and she believes one
of the men still lives in Ajax. However, many of the men are
unknown and she would like to hear from anyone who can
help identify them. Of those she knows, either full names
or just part, are back row from left, Frank Waterbury, Ab
Heenan, Johnny Paudash, Bob Simpson, Benny LeHaye,
Kenny, and finally, Tim Wiles, but the last four are un-
known. Mrs. Day can be reached at 905-683-4646.

In our community Just keep the jerks
and idiots away
Have you noticed that most
new subdivisions have wonder-
fully Disney-esque handles, like
Riverglen, Meadowbrook, and
Fox Ridge Acres?
Nine times out of ten, however,
the name has nothing at all to do
with where the place actually is
or what it looks like. It's strictly a
marketing tool. And sometimes
the name itself actually makes
little or no sense, consider The
Pines of Maplewood, Desert Lake
Estates or Hilltop Valley.
I'd like to see some places go up
that had honest names, names
that told you a little bit about
what you were really moving into.
How about The Manors of
Dampness, Plywood Ridge or
Not Up to Code Acres? Others
might be not-so-subtle indica-
tions of the demographic the
builder is looking to target: Six-
Figure Woods, No Kids Grove or
Spouse-Swap Terrace.
We are becoming more and
more selective about where and
with whom we live.
Developers know this and, as a
result, we're seeing more and
more niche-specific projects
going up. We're entitled, I sup-
pose, but I'm not sure this is the
direction society really wants to
go in. Shouldn't we be moving to-
ward an inclusive, rather than an
exclusive world? Or is there va-
lidity in certain types of segrega-
tion? I certainly want my chil-
dren to grow up playing with kids
of other nationalities and cul-
tures. I want them to understand
and appreciate diversity, to real-
ize they are only one colour in a
very big rainbow. I just don't
want them playing with jerks.
Maybe that's where we should
draw the line? Maybe segrega-
tion is okay when it's just jerks
we're talking about? I mean,
some idiots hate people who
speak different languages and
some jerks hate people with dif-
ferent skin colours, but doesn't
everybody hate idiots and jerks?
And the great thing about sep-
arating the idiots and jerks from
the rest of us is that they won't
really know what's going on.
They'll just keep on driving drunk
and leaving loaded handguns on
their kitchen tables and poking
their pit bulls with plastic light-
sabres like nothing has changed.
Give them a free satellite dish,
a snowmobile and a pond to drive
it into, and they won't even notice
the wall around their community
or the gun towers.
And I'm sure there's money to
be made by some bright entre-
preneurial sort. Imagine going on
a Jerk Safari:
"Keep the windows up folks"
growls your craggy-faced guide
as the armoured Humvee comes
to a stop just inside the graffiti
covered gates "We're in idiot terri-
tory."
The crowd inside the vehicle
murmurs nervously as the guide
points out a steaming pile of half-
eaten French fries left by a big
male. Flash bulbs pop and video
cameras whir as we slowly round
a corner and discover a pack of
females viciously fighting over a
carton of Craven A Mild. Sudden-
ly, one in bright pink sweatpants
charges the truck for a light. Your
guide quickly hits the gas and
there is a scream, as a fully
loaded disposable diaper smash-
es into the rear window.
How exciting is that?
We 'll never eradicate stupidity,
but we can keep it at arms
length. Ironically, we need idiots,
jerks and tools around if for no
other reason than to point to
them and say to our children
"That's why you need to eat fruit.
That's why you stay in school.
That's why you wash behind your
ears."

Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently
and past performance may not be repeated. The purchase of
mutual funds using borrowed money (i.e. leverage) magnifies
the gain or loss on the cash invested. Investors considering a
leveraged purchase of mutual funds should be aware that a
leveraged purchase involves greater risk than a purchase using
personal cash resources only. The extent of that risk will vary
depending on the circumstances of the investor and the type of
mutual fund purchased. If you borrow money to purchase
securities, your responsibility to repay the loan and pay interest
as required by its terms remains the same even if the value of

DURHAM –The Durham Region health
department is offering teens a new pro-
gram that provides help and support in
the fight to quit smoking.
“For years there have been a variety of
programs to help adults quit smoking,
but very few programs for teens,” says
Brian Dallaway, a nurse with the health
department. “We felt it was extremely im-
portant to offer a program suited for
teens who want to quit smoking that’s
geared specifically to meet their needs.”
Recently, studies have shown that
youth programs have helped teens ac-
knowledge and track their tobacco use,
while developing methods for coping with
habits and pressures that cause the urge
to smoke.
Sessions are Tuesday evenings from 6
to 7 p.m. Admission is free.
March 2 and April 6, sessions will be
held at The Firehouse in Clarington, 132
Church St.
On March 23, the Pickering Town Cen-
tre at 1355 Kingston Rd., hosts the meet-
ing.
The March 30 session is at the Whitby
Mall, 1615 Dundas St. E.
For more information, or to register for
a session, contact the Durham Region
health department at 905-723-8521 or 1-
800-841-2729.

Tobo helps
build a strong
foundation
Soccer future in
good hands with
Ajax resident
By Paul Futhey
Staff Writer
AJAX – Considering what Patrick
Tobo has done as a soccer player, it
can hardly rate as a surprise to see
the respect he’s accorded today.
Tobo was nearly six when he
started playing in his native
Cameroon. Hailing from Yaoundé,
the country’s capital, he now lives in
Ajax with his wife and is a key part
of the sport’s player development in
Durham Region.
“There was no organized soccer
like this,” he says, recalling his intro-
duction to the game in Africa.
In fact, Tobo didn’t get his first
pair of soccer shoes until he was 15.
As he makes the comment, he
gestures to the playing surface of
the Durham Indoor Soccer Centre
in Oshawa. Students in his under-10
advanced skills clinic are doing
what most kids do before a practice
officially starts: taking turns zipping
shots at a designated goalkeeper.
The clinic is just a small part of
his soccer involvement. In addition
to his myriad of coaching and train-
ing duties, Tobo scouts all over the
GTA and is one of six regional
coaches with the Ontario Soccer As-
sociation.
Over a series of Thursday after-
noons last month at the DISC, he
has led this group of 26 youngsters
through a program designed to de-
velop their skills, technique and sta-
mina.
“It’s rare for them to get on the
field like this in the winter and get
this opportunity,” says John Lay,
the president of the facility.
The opportunity is rare for a num-
ber of reasons, not the least of which
is Tobo’s rich playing experience,
which includes stints on
Cameroon’s Under-19 World Cup
team in 1981 and the country’s his-
toric 1990 FIFA World Cup entry.
His experience certainly carries
currency with his students.
“First of all, he’s got tremendous
respect,” says Lay. “Anybody with
his background... the kids look up to
it.”
What Cameroon did at the 1990
World Cup in Italy was unprece-
dented for an African nation.
Cameroon went on a magical run to
the quarter-finals, beating Argenti-
na in the round robin and Colombia
in the round of 16. Only one other
team on the continent, Senegal, has
advanced to World Cup quarter-fi-
nals since.
“It’s the dream for all soccer play-
ers,” Tobo says of the World Cup ex-
perience. “You’ve reached the point
where you want to go. That was my
dream.”
His playing career comprised 11
years at the first division level in
Cameroon. In Canada, he was an
all-star sweeper with the Toronto
Italia and Toronto Astros of the
Canadian National Soccer League
before retiring in 1995.
Now, his focus is on the sport’s de-
velopment here, in a country which,
historically, has had limited interna-
tional success. As a coach, he’s cur-
rently working with a pair of under-
13 t eams, a boys’ squad and a girls’
squad - where the development of
the individual is paramount.
“Right now, I’m going first with in-
dividual skill,” he says.
“A fter that, I’m going to go to the
team concepts. It’s hard if some
player is not able to receive his first
ball, have his first touch... he cannot
go far.”
Player development is something
that hasn’t escaped the attention of
John O’Neill, who owns the local
Canadian Professional Soccer
League franchise,
O’Neill made a point of introduc-
ing Tobo at last week’s press confer-
ence announcing the team’s pur-
chase. The owner stressed the im-
portance of local player develop-
ment as part of an overall plan to
ensure the ultimate success of the
franchise.
“Patrick is a tremendous asset,”
says O’Neill. “His role is very crucial.
He’s played the game against the
best in the world.”
Tobo is up for the important chal-
lenge, that of laying the foundation
for potential future success.
“If we have a good development
with a young team that means
Durham in the future will have good
players,” he says.

Patrick Tobo’s involvement in soccer runs deep. The Ajax resident coaches, trains and
scouts the Greater Toronto Area extensively among his many duties. He notes a good
development program is the key to a future success on the pitch in Durham.

DURHAM –– Ben Harley, left, of Pickering High School has the upper hand here, but in the end, Trent Boughner got the best of him
during their Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics wrestling matchup last week. Boughner went on to win the 54-kilogram title,
with Harley finishing third.
Select mines
women’s
hoops win
over jewellers
AJAX — Just when Donlands Jew-
ellers negated several scoring op-
tions for Select Food Products, an-
other one went off for a strong of-
fensive outing in Ajax Ladies’ Bas-
ketball League action last Wednes-
day.
With Donlands effectively shut-
ting down two of three high-scoring
Select players, Kerri Jolicoeur
stepped up to the basket to knock
down 10 points and lead Select to a
36-30 win.
A hard-working Sonia Thomas
(11 points) was able to work
through coverage to net eight
points from the field and three
more from the line.
L ana Edmonstone and Sue
Nowry replied with 11 and eight
points, respectively, for the jew-
ellers.
Scotiabank maintained its hold
on first place with a 35-17 win over
East Side Mario’s in Game 2. Kim
Bourque, who has crept into sec-
ond place in league scoring, led the
bankers with 12 points. Scotia-
bank’s Sharon Williamson proved
she can play offence by netting
eight.
Lori Lomberg and Marjorie Bates
replied for East Side with six and
four points, respectively.

PICKERING — The Pickering Pan-
thers Coffeetime-Moncada Windows
and Doors atom select hockey team is
looking forward to pirouettes and Sal-
chows from its coach after capturing

capture the tournament banner.
Matthew Ross led the way with two
goals; Stephen Arnold notched the

Durham Lords playoff
hopes dealt blow in
college hoops action
DURHAM – The Durham College
women’s basketball team suffered a
serious blow to its playoff hopes Tues-
day, thanks to a 51-45 loss to the
Seneca Sting.
By falling to Seneca, the Lords (4-
6) remain four points out of the final
playoff spot in the OCAA’s east division,
currently occupied by Algonquin (6-5).
With just two games remaining, the
Lords need to win both to even have a
hope of making the postseason dance.
Against the Sting, Durham was un-
able to hold on to a four-point halftime
lead, scoring just 15 points in the sec-
ond half.
Bonnie Slaughter was the Lords’
top point-getter with 22 points. Jackie
Birtwhistle and Pam Wilkinson each
chipped in with six.

Local band’s music
won’t be typecast
By Jeff Hayward
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING – It compares itself
to the popular British band Ra-
diohead. And it has the hunger
for success to match.
Maryjayne, a Pickering-based
musical quartet, is looking for
its chance to break into the in-
ternational music scene. In the
meantime, the band members
are enjoying local popularity,
and have expanded their hori-
zons well outside the region.
Band member Furhan Velji
says one of the keys to their suc-
cess over the last few years is
from being on the same level
with each other.
"We have this chemistry that
gives each of us room to create
and be free," said Velji, 26, an
original member who's the lead
vocalist and plays guitar.
"I bring ideas to the band and
we work out the arrangement
together," he said.
Drummer Trevor Easton
agrees the band has grown mu-
sically since the beginning, ex-
perimenting with its sound just
as Radiohead has.
"I think I've become a much
more confident player," said
Easton, 27. "We are always trying
as a band to come up with com-
pletely original compositions.
This keeps me on my toes."
He added there is a danger of
being typecast as a particular
type of band, if the sound does-
n't evolve.
"The next thing you know, all
your songs sound the same.
We 've been able to avoid all that
which allows me to come up
with interesting arrangements."
Mar yjayne has had recent
success playing in Toronto,
landing gigs at the Hard Rock
Café at Club 279. Easton lists
this particular venue as one of
his favourites.
"It has a great sound, onstage
and off. Everything is so alive
there. The lighting show they
put on for live (shows) is second
to none in the city... we always
have a great time when we play
there."
Although they are playing
regularly, they have had limited
shows in Durham. The reason
for this, says Easton, is the lack
of solid venues in Pickering.
Kevin Aspinall, 25, the band's
keyboardist, echoed Eastons
frustration about the lack of a
local music scene.
"People need to know that
there are great live shows they
can go and watch all the time
right in their own backyard," As-
pinall said. He has been with the
band since its beginning four
years ago.
Craig Murphy is a recent ad-
dition on bass guitar, a position
the band has switched up more
than once. The 25-year-old
brings his own musical influ-
ences to the band, such as Rage
Against The Machine, The Tea
Party, and Dave Mathews.
"I believe that the local music
scene is getting tougher and
tougher to break through in...
You have to have a unique and
catchy sound to make it these
days. On that note, I believe we
stand alone," Murphy said.
They all see the band moving
on to bigger things in the future.
"I see the band touring across
the globe and making lots of
music," said Velji. "As long as our
music is making us happy, we
will be playing. If we get the
chance, I would like to play on
the moon, too."
Those in Durham who want
to come and check out the band
need not fret, however. It has
been invited back to the Atria
Bar & Grill, 59 King St. E. in Os-
hawa, for a Feb. 27 show. This
will be their second show at
this venue.
To check out more on the
band, including a biography,
show listings, and photos, go to

March 12, 1938 ~
February 18, 1994
A letter to my Dad,
I can't believe it has been 10 years already. So
much has happened in that time; so much I
want to share with you. You have 2 new
daughters-in-law now, and 2 new grandsons
who would have loved their "Big Jim". I wish
so much they could have known you, known
the gentle man who would have cuddled them
on his knee, or read them the sports section of
the newspaper in his lullaby voice; known the
man who gave so much to his community but
amazingly never at the sacrifice of his family;
known the wonderful father, grandfather, and,
I am sure mom will attest, husband we knew.
I think of you always Dad, often remarking
how you would have loved that hockey game,
of how at Bill's or my wedding or the birth of
my sons that you should be here for this.
Everyone says I remind them of you Dad, and
that is a huge compliment, but I would much
rather have you back.
We all miss you and love you,
Your wife Nancy; son Steve (Lisa); son Bill
(Janice); daughter Melanie, (Phil); Grandchil-
dren Matthew, Connor, Zachary, Olivia, Sa-
rah and Gregory.
