Province gives OK to $900 million refurbishment of Unit 1 reactor By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer PICKERING – Restarting Unit 1 at the Pickering nuclear station is necessary not only to ensure the province has enough electricity, but it’s also important to the in- dustry itself, say officials. “The future of the nuclear in- dustry depends to a great extent in Ontario on the success of this project,” said Jake Epp, Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) chair- man of the board. Mr. Epp made the comment Wednesday following an an- nouncement by provincial Energy Minister Dwight Duncan that OPG can proceed with refurbish- ing the reactor, which has been in a laid-up state since 1997. Electricity from the unit will be needed as the provincial govern- ment moves to phase out energy produced from coal-fired plants by 2007. The unit will generate 515 megawatts of electricity, enough to provide power to 350,000 homes, or a city the size of Lon- don. “We’re facing a looming elec- tricity supply gap and must lever- age power that is most readily available to us,” Mr. Duncan stat- ed in a release Wednesday. The cost to finish retrofitting the reactor has been set at $900 million and the work is scheduled to be completed in 15 months. Unit 4 was the first of the four ‘A’-side reactors to be refurbished, completed last year, and it’s oper- ating at 100-per cent capacity. ® • SALES • SERVICE • LEASING • RENTALS • BODY SHOP 503 Kingston Rd., Pickering www.pvw.com (905) 420-9700 “Try The Best” PICKERING VOLKSWAGEN INC.

Examining the political landscape DURHAM – Today the News Advertiser begins a four-part series, Changing Times, look- ing at the lack of diversity in elected representatives in Ajax and Pickering. The series examines the sit- uations in the two municipali- ties compared to others in the Greater Toronto Area; how the two councils govern without having any representation from the multicultural commu- nities; delves into the lack of women representatives, specif- ically on Pickering council, but also at the provincial and fed- eral levels; and looks ahead to the future, asking politicians and community representa- tives what can be done to change the situation. Readers will hear from a wide variety of voices, includ- ing politicians, community representatives, those who have run for council and a po- litical scientist. See page 9.

The company has been audit- ing the Region’s books since 1973, a report to the finance and administration committee said last week. For the past five years, the f irm has charged the Region $78,000 a year, and has said it will keep the same price. Several councillors at the meeting questioned why the Region wasn’t going to tender on the deal, and hadn’t in more than 10 years. Jim Clapp, the commissioner of finance, said Durham’s cost is in the mid to low range com- pared to other municipalities. Mr. Clapp said it would not be worth the time or money to go through a request for proposal from other companies “to shave $5,000” off the price. Durham council approved on Wednesday the committee’s de- cision. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 9, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P 905-428-894541 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax Mon. - Thur. 10 - 7, Fri. 10 - 9 Sat. 9:30 - 6, Sun. 11 - 5*Not on sale or discounted items on matt r e s s sets NOPST & GST*BEDS DISCOUNTERSBEDS DISCOUNTERS SOLID PINESOLID BIRCHSOLID OAK $139TWIN BED $169TWIN BED $269DOUBLE BED NIGHT TABLE $149 MATES BED $399 5 DR CHEST $299 DESK HUTCH $399 DRAWERS $149 BUNK w/mattress purchase $299 QUEEN BED $399 ARMOIRE $499 DRESSER WITH MIRROR $499 ALL SOLID HONEY PINEALL SOLID HONEY PINE BUNK BEDS FUTONS DAY BEDS BEDROOM SUITES KIDS BEDS IRON BEDS $199PEACOCK DAYBED With mattress $369CANOPY BEDS Complete with frame $279RENO CAST IRON BED from NEWITEMSNEW I T E M S SLEIGH BEDSCANOPY BEDSMATES BEDSWonder Sleep $99SINGLE MATTRESS $159SET DOUBLE $159 $219 QUEEN $189 $269 KING N/A N/A Sleep-O-Pedic $169SINGLE MATTRESS $199SET DOUBLE $189 $249 QUEEN $229 $299 KING N/A N/A Orthopedic $189SINGLE MATTRESS $269SET DOUBLE $209 $299 QUEEN $249 $359 KING N/A N/A Posture Firm $249SINGLE MATTRESS $349SET DOUBLE $279 $399 QUEEN $299 $439 KING $559 $799 $495 KIDS 6 PIECE SUITE Includes dresser, mirror, headboard, mates bed, night table & mattress ADULT BEDROOM SUITES Lowest prices anywhere!

Specialty Drinks Every Tuesday is Seniors Day Specialty Drinks Gas tax fuels GTA meeting Leaders meet in Durham to talk issues By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – Gas tax, the federal elec- tion, transit and a 311 phone service were discussed as municipal leaders from across the Greater Toronto Area converged on Whitby. Durham was the host site for the latest mayors and chairs meeting, which includes mayors and regional chairmen from 30 municipalities and regions such as Newmarket, Hamil- ton and Oakville. The group meets six times a year to discuss common issues. Those issues this time around in- cluded how to get the elusive gas tax money both the federal and provin- cial governments have promised municipalities. “It’s our money,” said Durham Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson. “J ust pass it through. Don’t take a commission.” Ann Mulvale, mayor of Oakville and president of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), agreed. “We’re requesting the funding that they need to achieve their goals,” she said of the other levels of govern- ment, referring to the money going to transit in the GTA. The McGuinty Liberals have promised two cents in gas tax rev- enue, while Prime Minister Paul Mar tin pledged five cents during the recent election. “It’s about the next five to 10 years,” said York Region Regional Chairman Bill Fisch. “We have to have a system that’s improved dra- matically and not just the system we have now.” Milton Mayor Gordon Krantz joked that he “paid to park on the 407,” this morning as traffic was so bad. The group passed a resolution that the upper levels of government flow the gas tax money beginning in 2004-2005. It also states the funds must be “new net” money so that neither group cuts back funding from another area, Mayor Mulvale said. There’s also hope Prime Minister Mar tin will introduce a new cabinet minister specifically for the GTA, the group said. They said the minis- ter would be invited to the next meeting. A phone line to roll all municipal services - such as public health, road maintenance and reporting theft and vandalism - into one place was discussed at length. “This is particularly important in the GTA, as we have 10 digits” that people have to remember for a vari- ety of services, said Colleen Bell, a staff member from the city of Toron- to who made a presentation. To ronto currently has 261 phone numbers that the public can call, and the City would like to roll those into one. Municipalities from across Cana- da, including Toronto and Halton Region, have an application before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to institute the number nation-wide. One roadblock to overcome, though, would be determining whether municipalities or telecom- munications companies would pay to program the new number. The 311 system is used in the U.S. and has been very successful, de- spite some price tags as high as $25 million in cities like New York, Ms. Bell said. Chicago, for example, saved $6 million in one area. They also saved in cutting out duplication. (The city was constantly sending out multiple building inspectors for the same call.) The committee will meet again in Yo rk Region in late September. Top- ics for that gathering include new cabinet ministers, the federal throne speech and a GTA anti-littering campaign brought forth by Oshawa Mayor John Gray. ROGER ANDERSON ‘It’s our money.’ We ’re online at www.durhamregion.com ‘We have to find a way to be fair’ PICKERING –It is going to cost more money to build in Pickering. Pending final approval by council, the City is changing its development charges bylaw effec- tive Sept. 1 and increasing the fees for residential and commer- cial units. The proposed increase for a single-detached unit is $1,361, which would put the charge at $8,838. This puts the Pickering charges higher than Ajax and Whitby, but the City reports it is because the City has higher ser- vice levels for parks, recreation and libraries. Pickering also had lower amounts of growth to cover hard servicing costs. The charges are used to pro- vide capital funding to munici- palities for development-related roads, storm sewers, fire protec- tion, parks, libraries and other services. The commercial charges are being increased from $1.21 per square foot now to a possible high of $3.57, which is also higher than Whitby and Ajax. “We have to find a way to be fair but we have to find a way to pay for that infrastructure,” said Wa rd 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, adding the burden would be on other taxpayers to pay for those services if the charges don’t increase. The City held a public meeting regarding the proposed changes June 21 and the final draft of the bylaw is expected to be consid- ered at the July 26 council meet- ing. Anyone with comments or questions can submit them to the director of corporate services.

Durham Crown’s office wants nine-month sentence overturned By Chris Hall Staff Writer DURHAM –Durham Region Crown attorney John Scott has recom- mended the Province look into ap- pealing the nine-month sentence Ontario Justice Donald Halikowski handed two former Blackstock resi- dents who pleaded guilty to abusing and caging their two adopted sons over a period of more than 13 years. Brendan Crawley, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of the At- torney General, confirmed Wednes- day that Mr. Scott recommended to senior counsel with the Crown Law Office-Criminal branch of the attor- ney general that an appeal of the nine-month sentence be consid- ered. Mr. Scott’s recommendation to the attorney general came “certain- ly very soon after the sentencing,” said Mr. Crawley. He noted an ap- peal must be filed within 30 days of the original sentence. The senior counsel, who reviews appeal recommendations from across the Province, “will make a decision whether to allow the ap- peal. They can’t take more than 30 days... they must make a decision,” said Mr. Crawley. Mr. Scott’s office “has sent in doc- uments in support of their recom- mendation of the appeal,” said Mr. Crawley, adding “if senior counsel decide to pursue an appeal, they will file the appeal with the Court of Appeal of Ontario,” the highest court in the Province. Mr. Crawley also acknowledged his office is cognizant of the public outrage over the sentencing, which most are calling too lenient. “We are obviously aware there is a lot of public discussion surrounding this matter, but I have to stress a decision will be based on legal con- siderations, there will have to be a legal basis for an appeal,” he said. In January, the former Blackstock residents pleaded guilty to three counts each of forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and failing to provide the necessaries of life. On Monday, Judge Halikowski or- dered the couple to serve concur- rent nine-month sentences for the assault and confinement charges. They will also serve a concurrent one-month sentence for failing to provide the necessities of life for of- fering the boys no water while keep- ing them tethered or caged and for having no smoke alarm in their room. Upon their release from a provin- cial prison, the couple will also be on probation for three years. Under that order, the couple cannot have any association with their victims unless approved by the court; they are prohibited from associating with any youths under the age of 16 unless they attain parental or g uardian permission; and they must undergo counselling. Defense attorney Alex Sosna, who represented the woman charged in connection with the case, noted “the Crown is entitled to appeal any judgement or sentence they feel is in error. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 9, 2004 PAGE 5 A/P PETER’S ACADEMY OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING ONLY Learn with the BESTLearn w i t h t h e B E S T $$275275.00.0 0 PLUS GSTMinistry Approved Driver Education Course • 25 Hours in an MTO approved classroom • 15 private in-car lesson on automatic • FREE pick-up at home • Courses start every week • Defensive driving instruction • Learn life saving skills • Skid control • Evasive Maneuvers • braking techniques • FREE progress report card • EARLIER ROAD TEST 1050 BROCK ROAD UNIT # 10 PICKERING, ON L1W 3X4 PICKERING LOCATION HOURS: 7 DAYS A WEEK 10 AM - 10 PMCALL NOW! www.petersacademy.com 4 Day Courses July 12th - 15th July 26th - 29th Aug. 23rd - 26th OR (416) 750-0472 (905) 831-6464 MAXIMUM INSURANCE SAVINGS THREE LOCATIONS Gift Certificates Available 777 WARDEN AVENUE SUITE 211 SCARBOROUGH, ON M1L 4C3 SCARBOROUGH LOCATION INSTALLMENT PLAN AVAILABLE 8130 SHEPPARD AVENUE E.

Blackstock appeal launched P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 9, 2004 www.durhamregion.com We must change with the times Such a diverse community, yet our political makeup doesn’t reflect it Disappointing. There's no other way to describe the makeup of Ajax and Pickering's political representation. We live in Durham's multicultural heartland, where 26 per cent of Pickering's population is made up of visible minori- ties, and 24 per cent call Ajax home. We live in a community made up of countless women who lead committees, organiza- tions, companies and other groups. We live in a vibrant com- munity that brings so much to the table in terms of its strong diverse composition. Yet, look up and down the roster of Ajax and Pickering coun- cils, the list of federal and provincial representatives, and to our local school boards and you'll find nary a visible minority. The record is only a bit better when it comes to electing women. There, only eight of 25 available positions are held by women, and all but one of those officials represents Ajax. History isn't on our side either. Never before have we had a visible minority represent us and there has been only a margin- al amount of women running for and being elected to office. Make no mistake, this is not an indictment of our current MPs, MPPs, councillors, and school trustees. All were duly elected well within the confines of our democratic framework. Still, the situation is disappointing given that we have little to no representation from such vital members of our communi- ties. Today the News Advertiser begins Changing Times, a four- part series examining the issue of why our communities are fail- ing to even attract visible minority candidates and women in great numbers. In the editions ahead, readers will hear from a broad spectrum of representatives, offering their take on the problems and possible solutions for turning the tide. They will hear that some, such as the Town of Ajax, are becoming leaders in developing a more varied slate of election candidates. Our record is not good, but there's a movement afoot to make it better. Political voices and leaders from all corners of Ajax and Pickering have a role to play in developing a more engaged electorate and more engaged communities. There is work to be done, sure, but the payoff of having a pool of deep, varied candidates for our political offices knows no bounds. We must work to meet our changing times.

I'd never covered a federal elec- tion (or a provincial one) so this was my first taste of such a high demand story. It was a lot harder than expect- ed and even held a few surprises. Reporters from national news organizations spend weeks travel- ling with the leaders. At a commu- nity paper we concentrate on area candidates, not the entire country, but there is no less of an effort put forth to bring our readers the best coverage. It began with a roundup of all the candidates, including photos and biographies. This year there was some last-minute scrambling as NDP candidate Kevin Modeste was nominated after the election was called. Next it was on to the issue sto- ries where we always make fair- ness a top priority. To achieve this we gave each candidate the same amount of space to present their platforms. A week into the campaign brought a spur of the moment visit to Ajax from Conservative leader Stephen Harper. I thought it would be exciting and rearranged an already busy morning to be there. In reality it involved waiting in the hot sun for 45 minutes and then being pushed aside by all the national media travelling on the campaign bus. There were several weeks of night and split shifts to cover de- bates, and I even served as a pan- ellist at a Metroland/Rogers de- bate. All of the hard work culminated on election night. I was excited to be covering Liberal candidate Dan McTeague, who was favoured to be re-elected. I ended up spending an hour and a half in the parking lot of his campaign office waiting for him to arrive as I wasn't allowed to enter the building. His campaign com- mittee said it had decided not to let anyone in from the News Ad- vertiser because of our newspa- per's endorsement editorial, which favoured the Conservatives. Upon arrival, Mr. McTeague did- n't have time to talk to me and proceeded inside to give his victo- ry speech. I was disappointed to not have an election night story to wrap up weeks of work - but I could get the chance to do it all over again in the near future since we have a minor- ity government. Just give me a minute to take a nap first. Danielle Milley's column ap- pears every third Friday. E-mail dmilley@durhamregion.com. Election a great build up and letdown Editorials &Opinions FRIDAY, JULY 9, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Danielle Milley s t a f f w r i t e r Vo t ers would have advantages with elected chairman To the editor: Some regional councillors seem to be of the opinion that having the position of reg ional chairman appointed by them gives them the inside track for their own particular agenda. However, by electing the chairman at large, the taxpayer would have many ad- vantages. The recent obscene and outrageous pay raises given to themselves and sanc- tioned by the chair, would not have been tolerated by the public. If the position was an elected one, the chairman would have difficulty staying in office come the next election. I have a fair and equitable solution: a) Cut back all local and regional pay for politicians to $5,000 (Regional chair- man slightly higher) as was done to school board trustees. There has never been a shortage of candidates for any elected position regardless of the pay. Many of the overpaid incumbents would still seek office. b) Limit of two terms in office, includ- ing the Regional Chairman. Candidates would know their commitment and arrange their financial situations ac- cordingly. If this is not possible, don't run. c) Bring back the two-year term. Three years is too long for the taxpayers to wait to get rid of some of the bad ap- ples. Four-year fixed terms for provincial and federal politicians. Further, the recent tax increases, water and sewer rates etc., should never have been required, municipalities have been relieved of the GST (millions). These increases mainly cover the addi- tional pay raises, benefits and pensions for politicians. Seniors and those on fixed incomes get no raises, how do you think they feel?

Greenpeace critical of decision “The decision announced (Wednes- day) will allow Unit 1 to be completed with a number of milestones in place,” Mr. Epp said. “There’s 12 months of construction and three months of commissioning. “We’ve done all the preparatory work. We’ve stayed on schedule. We have a schedule.” Greenpeace Canada is critical of the decision, pointing to OPG’s poor track record in meeting deadlines and staying on budget. “On time and on budget are two concepts that have eluded every sin- gle nuclear power project in Canada,” said Rob Milling, the organization’s executive director. “Ontario would be better served by investing in a reliable technology, such as wind.” Mr. Milling added the reactor was built in the 1960s and was refurbished in the 1980s. Also, it doesn’t have a second emergency shutdown system, which is an international standard. The announcement also doesn’t in- clude the cost of storing nuclear waste, Mr. Milling noted. “I cannot change the history,” stat- ed Mr. Epp. “The history is what it is. You can’t judge me on Unit 4, but you can judge me on how successful, or not, we are with Unit 1.” The original cost to refurbish all four reactors on the ‘A’ side was set at about $800 million, but the cost on Unit 4 reached $1.255 billion. “Lessons have been learned, the learnings have been applied and the success that we believe we will achieve will be achieved,” Mr. Epp stated. So far, $410 million has been spent on Unit 1. All design engineering for Unit 1 has been completed, compared to only three per cent completed on Unit 4 when major construction began. Also, the required parts are in place, the work schedule and budget final- ized, and agreements have been signed with major contractors. Refurbishing the reactor involves completing about 20,000 tasks, with 6,000 already done, Mr. Epp said. The firm of Schiff Hardin has been retained to provide external oversight on the project, to make sure it re- mains on schedule and on budget, Mr. Epp said. The schedule calls for half the major construction work to be com- pleted by mid-January and 75 per cent by March 15. Commissioning work, or the start of powering up the reactor, would start in June and a re- turn to full power by September 2005. ✦ Greenpeace from page 1 A.J.

By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM –There’s something missing from the political scene in Ajax and Pickering. Despite the two communities being the most diverse in all of Durham Region, that is not, and has never been, reflected in the members of Parliament or provin- cial parliament, at the local coun- cil tables, or on the school boards. Women have also historically played a limited role at all levels of government. The current elected representa- tives bring years of political expe- rience, various backgrounds and life experiences to the table, but don’t accurately reflect the com- munities they serve. According to Statistics Cana- da’s 2001 census, the City of Pick- ering was home to 87,139 people, including 22,910 visible minorities. While 26 per cent of Pickering’s population was made up of visible minorities in 2001, not only are there none on council, but none have run for council. “We talk about (this issue) be- cause we’re not represented at all,” said Susan Maturine, the president of the Pickering Carib Canadian Cultural Association. She wants visible minorities to not only be at the council table, but also in local workplaces, in- cluding at the City. In Ajax, visible minorities make up 24 per cent of the population. Although there has never been a visible minority elected to Town council, there have been candi- dates. The situation is common among municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area, where visi- ble minority communities are proportionately underrepresent- ed on council. Myer Siemiatycki, a municipal politics professor at Ryerson Uni- versity in Toronto, sees a pattern of disparity. “Across the entire GTA there is a very large imbalance between population demographics and elected representation, so Picker- ing and Ajax are not alone in hav- ing under-representation but they certainly are at the end of the continuum with having none,” he said. Nor are Pickering and Ajax alone in Durham when it comes to not having any visible minorities on council. While other municipal- ities across the region have much lower percentages of visible mi- norities, the numbers are chang- ing everyday. “To draw the comparison, other municipalities are doing signifi- cantly better at electing visible minority representatives on their council than Pickering and Ajax,” Mr. Siemiatycki said. “You can certainly point to Toronto, but also Markham... Everywhere they are statistically massively under- represented, but they are there.” In the Town of Markham, for example, the population is 55 per cent visible minorities and the 13- member council has two visible minorities. In the City of Vaugh- an, it’s 19 per cent, with one mi- nority member on the nine-mem- ber council. Further, the two communities’ record on female political repre- sentation is mixed. The last woman to serve on Pickering council was Sherry Senis during the 1994-97 term, although it’s never had a high number of women. Over the years the num- ber of women on Ajax council has changed from term to term. “Pickering and Ajax really seem to stand out as old school white males running local council,” Mr. Siemiatycki said. “There is some- thing curious there.” He believes there are a couple of variables contributing to the lack of visible minorities, both running for and getting elected to the local councils. “One is size threshold. Markham is 50 per cent visible mi- nority. That gives you a critical mass of population and economic vitality and strength,” he said. ‘Pickering and Ajax really seem to stand out as old school white males running local council. There is something curious there.’ MYER SIEMIATYCKI A population of that size gives you a large base of both voters and campaign contributors, he said. “That becomes a very powerful platform on which candidates of an ethno-racial background can launch themselves,” he said. In Markham, for example, there is a large Chinese population that has been able to gain representa- tion, both at the local and provin- cial level. That base is also higher in Mis- sissauga and Brampton. “You need a certain large threshold, but it also really helps if there is a particular community that is dominant, that has a large number of voters and economic vitality to plug into a campaign,” Mr. Siematycki said. Both Pickering and Ajax recog- nize the lack of diversity at the council table and in senior staff. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said through speaking with mem- bers of different cultural commu- nities, he feels it’s just a matter of time before seeing change. “Many of the conversations that I’ve had with many of the in- dividuals in the different ethnic communities is that one of the things that you find is a common theme that ‘we’re new here, we’re just getting started and our ener- gy and our time is devoted to be- coming part of the broader soci- ety,’” he said. “(They’re) establishing them- selves, making a living and estab- lishing a home and all of the pres- sures that accompany that in a new environment really make it difficult to get actively involved with the degree of commitment that’s required. So I think as we see the second generation and the third generation well-established, we’re going to see more and more diversity and more diverse politi- cal representation.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish agrees that change is around the corner. “The ethnic community in Ajax is relatively new and I don’t think people have the confidence in their community (to run for of- fice) until they have a longer his- tory,” he said. “We’re right on the cusp of that changing.” ■ ■ ■ Part 2: The lack of elected visible minorities needs to be addressed, say local leaders. News Advertiser photo illustration Despite visible minorities making up about 25 per cent of the combined populations in Ajax and Pickering, there is no representation at any elected level of gov- ernment. The story is much the same with women, as only a few hold the 25 positions available in the communities.

Teens can enjoy the truth PICKERING – Ajax and Pickering teens have a new source to turn to for the truth. The Word of Truth Community Resource Centre opened in Pickering recently, offering services to children, youth and families, including men- toring programs for at-risk youth. Assistance with school and educa- tional matters for students and fam- ilies together is also planned, with help in resolving child welfare prob- lems. “The church is rising to meet its community responsibility and to ful- fil its mandate of empowering youth and strengthening families,” said Pastor Joseph Fisher, senior pastor at Word of Truth Christian Church, which is offering the centre. The church notes the centre meets a growing need in the community as increasing numbers of African and Caribbean families settle in Durham, particularly in Pickering, Ajax, Whit- by and Oshawa. The centre is at 1543 Bayly St. in Pickering. For more information, call Pastor Fisher at 905-839-0333. A.J.

Numerous sources, including lawyers and Durham po- lice brass, have confirmed that investiga- tive tactic. “I have serious reservations about how the OPP has conducted this so-called inde- pendent inquiry,” said Bernie O’Brien, who is representing former DEU Detective Tom Andrews. “To go out and solicit complaints from people who have been charged is a very dangerous course of action.” Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine flatly rejected assertions that po- lice brass are taking pre-emptive measures to avoid embarrassment over the OPP probe. “The original complaint alleged many things, some of which are criminal,” the chief said during an interview. The chief said he made the decision to call in an outside force to investigate the complaint. Durham police followed up on allegations of possible misconduct uncov- ered during the OPP probe, he said. While the allegations being probed by the Durham Regional Police task force are not criminal in nature, they speak to the pro- fessional conduct of officers, the chief said. “We take every complaint seriously,” Chief McAlpine said. “And we certainly want to make sure our people do their jobs properly.” He said as many as 30 officers have been targeted for Police Services Act charges so far. The OPP investigation has involved a re- view of more than 250 DEU case files, ac- cording to numerous sources. Of those, 27 files have been forwarded for review to the provincial Attorney General, sources said. The fall-out of the lengthy investigation has been low morale among the rank and file, and the destruction of the careers of DEU officers, all of whom have left the unit since the probe began, say sources, includ- ing union brass and former DEU officers. While the cops have been told they are under investigation for possible criminal activity, none of them have been informed of the nature of the alleged offences. It is not known if the allegations centre around the conduct of one, a few, or all of the for- mer DEU officers, sources say. Some of the cops who’ve been told they’re under investigation haven’t even been interviewed by the OPP. “Eighteen months ago we were advised there was an investigation into the conduct of the DEU,” said a former member of the unit. “To date, we’ve never actually been offi- cially told who the complainant is, or the nature of the allegations involved.” The officer, a veteran with more than 10 years of service under his belt who claims to have had an unblemished record prior to the current investigation, said the careers and lives of dedicated cops have been ir- reparably damaged by the probe. “It’s been devastating,” he said. “There’s marriages that have been destroyed.” In addition, the men who decided to leave the DEU have found their careers stalled, the cop said. “We were told at the outset (of the inves- tigation) that if the stress was too great, we could transfer out,” he said. “In August of 2003, we elected to transfer out en masse. Guys had been throwing the idea around for months.” The action brought a swift response from police brass, which had a superinten- dent address the drug officers, he said. “We were gathered together and were told by senior elements that what we were doing was an embarrassment to the ser- vice,” the officer said. “We were told we’d be doing nothing but pushing a cruiser around for the rest of our careers.” The cop said he’s never been approached by the OPP investigators for an interview. Likewise, Det. Andrews, the decorated head of the unit, has not spoken to investi- gators, despite his repeated offers to make a statement, Mr. O’Brien said. Det. Andrews was removed from the DEU and reassigned when the probe was announced in February of 2003, Mr. O’Brien said. “He ran this unit and he ran it very effec- tively,” Mr. O’Brien said, noting the high number of busts, including disruption of marijuana grow operations and cocaine distribution networks, by the unit during Det. Andrews’ tenure. “But he was taken from the DEU imme- diately and assigned a non-supervisory role and ordered to remain away from all DEU officers,” Mr. O’Brien said. Det. Andrews currently faces Police Ser- vices Act charges for allegedly disobeying that order. He made a brief appearance be- fore a police tribunal in Whitby Wednesday. One former DEU officer who spoke to this paper said actions by police brass have resulted in the dismantling of a unit that was putting up stellar numbers and ad- vancing the fight against drugs in Durham Region. “We arrested a little over 300 people,” he said. “Guys worked their guts out in this unit. We worked very well together. “There’s no doubt in my mind this has destroyed our policing careers,” he said. “It just amazes me this kind of thing could snowball out of control the way it has.” Tom Bell, vice-president of the Durham Regional Police Association, agreed that officers implicated in the DEU investiga- tion have seen their careers stall. “Careers have been destroyed. There’s no question about it,” Mr. Bell said. “Careers haven’t progressed as you would expect if this had not happened.” The dismantling of the unit has also raised concerns about the effectiveness of the police service’s response to Durham’s drug problem. During the period between November of 2001 and September 2002, the DEU busted 106 marijuana grow house op- erations, seizing more than 43,000 marijua- na plants and more than $3.5 million worth of illegal drugs. They laid hundreds of charges and were cited with a commenda- tion by Chief McAlpine in an internal memo in late January of 2002. Between Jan. 1, 2002, and Jan. 9, 2003, the unit racked up more than 350 arrests and laid 1,250 charges. The chief readily acknowledges the suc- cesses of the unit prior to its break-up last year. “There’s never been any question about that. It was a very busy time,” he said. “These people were doing a lot of work.” Chief McAlpine said he’s not troubled by the fact so few marijuana grow houses have been shut down in recent months. In the first half of 2004, just a few of the opera- tions have been detected - one of them by firef ighters responding to a blaze in Whitby last month. “We think, in fact, because of the work we’ve done ... many of these people have moved on to other places,” the chief said. “In the early days of the marijuana grow wave we were getting all kinds of Crime Stoppers (tips) and other information, and to a large extent, that’s tapered off quite a bit.” Mr. O’Brien, a criminal lawyer with ex- tensive experience in the region, said drug charges relating to large-scale operations have dropped off noticeably. “I’m in a courtroom every day and I do not see coming across the courts anywhere near the same numbers of drug offences, certainly, in terms of significance and im- portance and volume,” he said. “How do you redeploy a very effective, cohesive drug unit without the continuity of bringing in new officers and training them to the same level of expertise?” Chief McAlpine also acknowledged that while the DEU under Det. Andrews lodged a large number of arrests, the drug unit was not the source of an inordinate num- ber of complaints. Nor was the Special In- vestigations Unit ever called in to probe re- ports of injury or mistreatment among civilians dealt with by the unit, he said. But the chief steadfastly defended the decision to call in the OPP. And he rejects speculation among police and others that the probe has failed to find evidence of mis- conduct. “Your premise is inaccurate - the premise that, if there is criminality, it would have been dealt with before now,” he said. The chief said that the OPP has, in fact, completed its investigation and that infor- mation has been handed over to the provincial Attorney General for assess- ment. It will be the decision of the Crown attor- ney as to whether or not criminal charges will be laid. Some observers, however, think the lack of charges in the year and a half the OPP have been on the case is indicative of a lack of strong evidence against the cops they’re investigating. “As a cop, my instincts tell me they haven’t found a whole heck of a lot,” said Mr. Bell of the police union. “It’s been an exhaustive investigation. “If these officers are innocent, the longer this goes, the more frustrating it is and the more damaging it is for everyone,” he said. Mr. O’Brien said the DEU officers have been denied the same basic rights any citi- zen being investigated for criminality would be afforded - namely, being informed of the nature of the allegations and the evi- dence against them. “It’s denying them a basic right that all of us take for granted,” he said. One former member of the unit fumed over what he sees as a lack of due process that has left him and his colleagues unin- formed about the investigation and the ef- fect it may have on their lies and careers. “I am at the centre of a storm,” he said. “It is now vindictive and personal and about saving face at the expense of good people doing a tough job.” Another former DEU cop said that, while an investigation into the allegations was warranted, the length of time it has taken and the lack of disclosure to the officers in- volved has been unfair. “If the allegations are strong enough to warrant charges, why would you not pro- ceed with them?” he said, noting an RCMP investigation into Toronto police resulted in criminal charges just weeks after the probe began in April. “There has to be police discipline,” he said. “But at the same time, you have to be fair in how things are conducted. There’s no way you could get away with this if it were any average citizen.... “It’s destroyed good officers.” For his part, Chief McAlpine said the Durham Regional Police Service is adher- ing to a standard expected of it by the citi- zens it serves. To that end, the investiga- tive techniques employed by the OPP and Durham police, the length of time the probe has taken and the way in which indi- vidual officers have been dealt with is justi- fied, he said. “Certainly, when you’re conducting an investigation you don’t leave any stones unturned,” he said. The OPP has refused comment, other than to say the investigation is ongoing.

A/P PAGE 16 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 9, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Changes are afoot in the world of air conditioning. The coolant is changing, the energy efficiency is about to make a major improvement and energy costs are going through the roof. The coolant we have come to accept, commonly known as Freon, but more accurately called R22, is being phased out. While R22 is not completely outlawed until 2010, its price is expected to soar in the next few years as production is reduced. In its place will be an environmentally friendly R410A, also known as Enviromax R410A and Puron. On January 1, 2006, the United States Department of Energy will mandate that all air conditioning units must operate at 13 Seasonal Energy Efficiency R atio (SEER) or higher. This raised standard south of the border will raise the standard in Canada, as there are no air conditioning manufacturers in Canada. This will also accelerate the use of the new coolant, as manufacturers are making both changes to new units. The Scroll compressors that began appearing a few years ago, have become highly efficient and extraordinarily quiet. W hen combined with a two- speed condenser fan motor, sounds levels are reduced and efficiency is increased. As temperatures rise, the fan motor automatically adjusts to the higher speed to provide optimum cooling. Lastly the cost of energy, per KWHR, that we now pay (4.3 cents), will float on the open market to about 6.3 cents per KWHR. By purchasing a 13 SEER or better air conditioner, incorporating a scroll compressor and a two-speed fan motor, you can cut your electrical energy bills by 50 per cent during the cooling season.

However, young children especially, have an attraction to water and to help prevent accidents, here are a few helpful guidelines to safe swimming. • Never leave a child alone near the water. There is no replacement for adult super vision of children at poolside. The Royal Lifesaving Society recommends that if you are not ‘Within Arm’s Reach’, you are too far away. • Set rules for the use of your pool that include super vision rules, your safety equipment, diving restrictions, keeping the deck clear and poolside activities. • Check your fencing around the yard and pool area each year. Be sure that all latches work properly, that there are no gaps in your fence or objects that children can use to climb the fence. Ideally, your fence will isolate the pool from the house as well as the yard. • Pool alarms are another great way to improve safety around the pool. Wr ist alarms are worn like a watch and trigger an alarm when a child falls into the water, while other alarms float in the pool and trigger an alarm when motion is detected in the water or the pool area. • Access to the pool can also be prevented with a safety cover. Anchored into the deck, safety covers eliminate any gaps or openings where children or pets can climb through and are strong enough to allow an adult to walk on the surface of the cover to rescue a child or pet. These covers are ideal for both winter closing or summer vacations. • Hot tubs should be covered with a solid cover whenever they are not in use. In addition to providing a layer of safety, they help keep in the heat and keep out debris. Remember, providing a safe and fun pool environment for friends and family is up to you and a few simple rules will help ensure your maximum enjoyment this summer.

By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –Keep it local and respect the urban- rural boundary, residents told the Province at a public meeting on plan- ning reform. Only a dozen residents were in the more than 200 chairs set up at Dunbar- ton High School recently, where the Ministry of Mu- nicipal Affairs and Hous- ing was looking for the public’s input on the On- tario Municipal Board, provincial policy state- ments and changes to the Planning Act. The OMB is the provin- cial appeal body created in 1897 that hears plan- ning disputes between de- velopers and local munici- palities. The McGuinty government promised re- forms to it and other plan- ning policies during the 2003 election. Sue McInerney has been involved with three OMB appeals that have left her disillusioned with the process. “I’m not convinced the OMB is the answer,” she said, adding many people think the OMB is too de- veloper-friendly. She also has problems with OMB members being appoint- ed. “Why should they have more power than those we elected?” Planning power should stay within the municipal- ities so decision-makers are accessible and respon- sible, said John Wager, president of the Green- wood Ratepayer’s Associ- ation, which represents 70 of the 120 households in the hamlet. Chris Whillans wants the process more local- ized and streamlined. “Don’t lose context of the local issues,” said Mr. Whillans, who lives just outside Claremont. “We want you to listen to what we have to say, but we don’t want to have to fight these battles all the time.” He also asked for a clear definition of rural and urban and more protec- tion for greenspace. “Those of us who live in the north end would really like to keep it rural,” he said. He was echoed by Barb Hodgins, a planner for Durham Region who also sits on Whitby’s commit- tee of adjustment, which deals with development applications. She said hamlets are considered part of the urban settle- ment area in provincial documents when she feels they shouldn’t be. “I’m very concerned about the burden we’re going to leave for future generations,” she said. “A ll this is premised on in- creased growth, and things are going to start trailing off.” Many towns have had enough with expanding their “urban footprints” and want to focus on what’s inside, Ms. Hod- gins said. Lino Trombino, also a planner with the Region, referred to a recent OMB task force led by Regional Chairman Roger Ander- son. The task force recom- mended changes such as more time for municipali- ties to review applica- tions, providing funding to allow citizens to hire lawyers and expert wit- nesses and leaving urban boundary expansions to the local municipalities. The Province has pub- lished three discussion papers on the issues. Con- cerns listed include the OMB substituting its opinion for those of elect- ed councils and being in- accessible to the public. But the Province has also heard that the OMB is necessary for intensifica- tion projects because of strong neighbourhood concerns with these pro- jects. For more information on the Province’s plan- ning reforms, or to submit comments by Aug. 31, go to the Web site at www.planningreform.on- tario.ca or call 1-866-751- 8082.

Province, UOIT work on agreement By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – An external examiner has finished his evaluation of the UOIT business plan - but both the Province and the Oshawa universi- ty aren’t saying anything about it yet. Chris Carson, assistant to Mary Anne Chambers, minister of train- ing, colleges and universities, on Tuesday confirmed the seven page- report, with appendices, is finished and that the Province is “reaching an agreement of understanding with UOIT and it’s sort of getting down to the fine details. “Based on that report we’re working on an agreement with UOIT with respect to the capital plan. We certainly expect positive news to be on its way.” The government appointed Ralph Benson to look over the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology’s plan to grow to an estimat- ed 6,500 students by 2009/10 after Ms. Chambers, in a May 13 press re- lease, said information provided by UOIT “appears to identify risks in its existing capital plan.” Mr. Ben- son’s job was “to provide indepen- dent assurance that UOIT’s $190- million business plan is viable in its own right.” While Mr. Carson said the min- istry hopes to issue a press release “fairly soon,” he would not say any- thing about the report and would not release it until the press release comes out- and only then with UOIT’s permission. “We think it’s only fair to the in- stitution that we wait until every- body has an understanding,” said Mr. Carson. Mr. Polonsky did not return phone calls Tuesday. The former Tory government cre- ated the UOIT and before leaving office had agreed to allow UOIT to borrow up to $190 million to com- plete three buildings under con- struction, slated to open this Sep- tember. The government must sign off on the loan because Durham College, an agency of the Crown, is the guarantor. Following speculation that it was anti-UOIT, a spokeswoman for the new Liberal government in Febru- ary stated it was “committed to the success of the UOIT” and would ho- nour the former government’s bor- rowing promise. Deputy Minister Kevin Costante on Feb. 5 released a letter to Mr. Polonsky, stating the government had already permitted UOIT to bor- row up to $100 million. Mr. Costante said the govern- ment would approve the remaining $90 million “upon the Province re- ceiving an appropriate, results-ori- ented business plan from UOIT that clearly details how the funding will be allocated.” Mr. Polonsky has said the govern- ment is concerned about UOIT’s cash flow as it expands, describing the review as “normal business.” However, he acknowledged the uni- versity would likely have to curtail its growth plan for the next phase of construction, namely the engineer- ing, education and justice, and stu- dent services buildings.

His show, Threshold, featur- ing pregnant women, caught the eye of Catherine Delhaise, of the Oshawa Art Associa- tion, which was getting ready for its annual juried art exhibi- tion at the gallery at the same time. "I was so impressed I asked him if he would do the judging this year," Delhaise said. "He said yes." "We're very pleased about that," said association presi- dent Sharon Steinhaus. "He's the founder and presi- dent of the Society of African Canadian Artists and his works can be found in both public and private collections, including that of the Prince of Wales," said Delhaise. Clarke's decisions on which art entries to accept into the show were revealed at the 36th annual juried show's opening recently. About 95 artists submitted entries, with each submitting about two entries, said OAA member Marissa Sweet. Clarke looked over the 190 en- tries and made his selections of art to be included in the show. He then picked the win- ners. Ajax artist Michael Peech was among those selec- tions, taking the coveted ‘Best in Show’ for oil. The juried show was open to all OAA members and all artists living in Durham Re- g ion, said Delhaise. It's a chance for artists to submit their works and get feedback, not only from the judge but also from the public, if their art makes it to the show, she said. "The paintings and other works of art in the public show are for sale," she said. The show runs until July 11 at the gallery. This is one of three main, an- nual shows for the OAA, which has about 172 members from all over Durham and even a few beyond the region. This juried show lets the public know the extent of Durham's art scene and the variety of talented artists who live here, she said.

It's sure to be a dream season theatrically as the professional company pre- sents the magical, musi- cal, Shakespearean come- dy, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' which opens (today) July 9 at Park- wood Estate in Oshawa. Earlier this year, Drift- wood, faced with a deficit, put out a request for fi- nancial help to keep the season going. Artistic di- rector and founder Jeremy Smith said some help has come in from local busi- nesses but more is needed. The board of directors has decided to go ahead with the season, regardless of f inancial support. Drift- wood could be $40,000 in debt by the end of the summer, he said. Now, audiences are being asked to do their part to help keep Drift- wood going, by coming out to see performances and being generous with ad- mission fees. Driftwood doesn't charge a set price but is suggesting at least $12 per person and $30 per family. In the play, four lovers wander into the forest out- side Athens and spend a dream-filled night discov- ering the nature of love, hate, loathing and passion as their world is turned upside down by the King of the fairies and his mis- chievous servant. The play is the first Driftwood ever presented and seemed an appropri- ate pick for this summer, said Smith. "Certainly there is some nostalgia involved in our choice to revisit 'Dream.' We are completing a cycle of work with this produc- tion - 10 years is an impor- tant landmark." He added this will be Driftwood's most musical- ly ambitious production to date, with nearly one-third of the text presented in a capella song. "As opposed to layering music on top of the work, as with previous produc- tions, the music is being woven into the very fabric of the play," Smith said. "In order to create a world that is distinctly dif- ferent from our own, the world of the fairies - the world of magic - will be re- alized through song," said musical director, Lanie Treen. "But there will be no in- struments besides the ac- tors themselves. In this way, the magic of that fairie world is represented by a quality that we all possess, rendering the world in a stroke of famil- iarity while painting it in its own unique style." Treen works with com- poser/arrangers Kevin Fox and Tom Lillington for their third season with Driftwood. Smith conceived of and will direct the production. He's worked as designer, director, actor and theatre manager for the last decade and most recently assisted Michael Shamata in the direction of the CanStage/NAC production of 'Pélagie.' Reprising their original roles from Driftwood's in- augural season are Steven Burley as Oberon/Theseus and Jeremy Smith as Puck. Joining them are re- turning cast member Sara Moyle as Helena, and new members Mark Crawford as Peter Quince/Fairies, Christopher Darroch as Demetrius, Madeleine Donohue as Titania/Hyp- polita, Jesse Aaron Dwyre as Lysander/Starveling, Audra Gray as Hermia/Snug, Andrew Hodwitz as Bottome, Bethany Jillard as Pease- blossome/Snout, and Cameron Johnston as Egeus/Flute. The design team in- cludes Alisen Erskine, cos- tumes, and Alexandra Prichard, lighting, techni- cal director. The produc- tion team is completed by stage manager Melinda Frank, apprentice stage manager Stephanie Naka- mura, senior technician Dan Gallo, and touring crew members Laura Gayoso, Alan Leightizer, and Brendan Wiklund. Founded in 1995, The Driftwood Theatre Group produces an annual sea- son of outdoor summer theatre throughout Durham Region and be- yond. All performances are available for a pay-what- you-can contribution. Past company members have gone on to successful ca- reers with The Stratford Festival, The Shaw Festi- val, Soulpepper Theatre, CanStage, and many of Canada's regional profes- sional theatres.

Eighty clubs from across On- tario sent swimmers to the high- calibre competition. The AAC sent 18 swimmers who had qual- ified for the meet earlier in the swim season. Overall, the Ajax club finished seventh in the rankings -- a solid result considering it's a relatively small club in Ontario. The effort was the highest among the Durham Region clubs partici- pating.

She placed fifth in another event, the 200m fly. Nicholas Ducille also captured all variety of medals, earning gold in the boys' 14-15 50m free, silver in the 100m free and bronze in the 100m fly. He also placed eighth in the 200m free. In the same age group, Grego- ry Laughlin won gold in the 100m backstroke and silver in the 200m back. He was also seventh in the 50m free. Daniel Vollmer swam to gold in the boys' 16-17 100m back and sil- ver in the 50m free. He was also fifth in the 100m free, eighth in the 200m back and 13th in the 200m free. Cameron Harper won silver in the 50m back while competing in the 11-and-under boys' division. He was also fourth in the 100m back and 100m fly, seventh in the 50m free and eighth in the 200m back. The AAC also won medals in the relay races. The 12-13 age group girls' team of Raininger, Heather Lee, Carolanne Landry and Fleming won silver in the medley relay and bronze in the freestyle relay. Meanwhile, the AAC boys' 14-15 age group team of Laughlin, Jason Pelland, Aidan Zoellner- Dougan and Ducille earned bronze in the free relay. Also qualifying for provincials was Kateland Lawrie but, due to an injury, couldn't compete.

DURHAM –With fourth place nearly locked up, the Ajax-Pick- ering Rock are looking to lock up a playoff spot this weekend against a team they may face in the first round of the post sea- son. The Rock wraps up its On- tario Lacrosse Association se- nior 'B' league play tonight at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Against the Mohawk Stars. "We have to go out and have a strong game," says Rock coach Paul St. John. With a 7-7-1 record, good for 15 points, the Rock is preparing for its first-round opener next Fri- day, to be played at the complex. While fourth is nearly assured, the race for fifth is between Mo- hawk, the Ennismore Sham- rocks and the Arthur Aces. "We're in fourth and we can't move up, but there's an outside possibility we could go down," said St. John. "We don't have our sights on that." Owen Sound sits in first place with a 15-1 record. It lost its first game of the season and has been undefeated since. "We hope to get them in the second round of the playoffs," St. John says. July 1 was also the league's deadline to add players and the Rock were busy, picking up three, including Nick Trudeau, who suited up for the Rock last year. He'll be playing his first game for the Rock tonight. Also, Joel Johnston was ac- quired from the Brooklin Mer- chants for future considerations and the two teams swapped Brads as well. Brad Cann was sent to the Merchants while Brad Reed comes to the Rock. St. John says Reed can "do it all. He's tough," adding he had three goals and an assist against St. Clair July 3. "We expect big things out of all three, especially Brad. "We feel the team has a chance to make a run at the President's Cup. To bring these three in will bring our goals up three to four per game. If we get our goals up to nine or 10 per game, we'll be a tough team to beat." The Rock blitzed the St. Clair Storm 14-3 last weekend. "We were ready. We scored in the first 15 seconds and were on cruise control from there," St. John says. "It was 14-3, but it could have been worse, if not for their goalie." Game time tonight is 8:30 p.m. Rock getting primed for another shot at playoffs A.J.

How many thoughts can be heard in a tear? Time is to pass and allow the pain to fade And as time passes Greater memories are made. If you could imagine that happiness truly prevails Then we can somehow begin to speak of the tales. Through the laughter that shows When we speak of the past Its is never more true That memories are meant to last. We shall never allow For our children to forget As in your own words, Mom "You ain't seen nothing yet". We know you've not left us, We know you're not far As my boys will tell everyone, In the dark you're a star. We miss you, maybe selfishly But at the same time are glad That you're fulfilling your days with Dad and Granddad.
