Groen/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING – Sisters Jenifer and Emily White look for birds at Rotary Frenchman's Bay West park recently. They were there as part of the Frenchman's Bay Watershed Rehabilitation Project, volunteer environmental watch, where citizens monitor the flora and fauna in the area. Photo radar would be a great deterrent Pickering official says By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING –Local councillors want photo radar as a means to deal with one of the most com- mon complaints from con- stituents - speeders. Pickering Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said he and other councillors get a lot of calls on the issue of speeders in the community and photo radar is one way to deal with those concerns. "It's something that we believe we need in Pickering," he said. "While it doesn't have the impact of a police officer writing a ticket and there being demerit points, it does have the impact of issuing a cost to the owner of the vehi- cle." Premier Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday his government is open to the idea of bringing back photo radar, if that's what On- tario cities and towns want. Photo radar is something Pickering council has been in favour of for quite some time. In March 2003, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean (a retired To ronto police sergeant) intro- duced a motion asking the then Conservative government to allow the City to own and oper- ate its own photo radar on mu- nicipal streets. The motion passed unanimously. Coun. Brenner said the issue is bound to come up again. "There's going to be a lot of dis- cussion on this once we recon- vene, both at the City and at the Region," he said. Although there has never been discussion at Ajax council about photo radar, Ward 4 local Coun- cillor Pat Brown thinks allowing municipalities to use the tech- nology is a wonderful idea. "I know how it works, but I don't know how affordable it is," she said. "If we can get some- thing that we can move around the town, there isn't a street in Ajax that people aren't speeding Restructuring act aims to generate production too By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM –Electricity prices are going to rise, but Dwight Duncan promises the increases won't be harsh. Speaking on Tuesday to a legislative committee review- ing Bill 100, the Electricity Re- structuring Act, the Ontario energy minister said unstable world energy markets would affect Ontarians. But, regula- tions the provincial govern- ment is proposing will soften the blow. In an interview following his presentation, the minister de- nied consumers shouldn't be expecting higher prices. "No. (The act) is designed to generate more production and a stable pricing regime," Mr. Duncan stated, adding there's "instability in the world price." The bill is in committee dur- ing the summer and he's hop- ing it will be passed in the fall. Included in the bill are the creation of the Ontario Power Authority, a conservation bu- reau, and a chief conservation officer.

Part of what will come out of this bill is time-of-use rate plans and time-of-use meters," he said. The smart meters could benefit consumers as they would save money by using electricity during non-peak hours, such as early morning or late at night. Current meters only record the amount of energy used. Dave Martin of Greenpeace Canada said Ontarians "don't have the tools" to properly conserve, a statement Mr. Duncan agreed with. "He's absolutely right about that and we're moving to address that." One move is to c hange provin- cial statutes to make it more at- tractive to con- serve, Mr. Dun- can stated. John O'Toole, the MPP for Durham and the Conservative en- ergy critic, chal- lenged Mr. Dun- can's state- ments, saying he was "shocked" to hear the minister's comments. "The guiding principle behind all of (the former Tory) government's electricity reforms was to ensure that Ontarians received a reliable supply of electricity at a fair price. Today we have discovered that the L iberal agenda contains no such plan for reliable energy supply and is based on higher prices," Mr. O'- Toole stated in a press release. "These revelations are astound- ing when you consider the future need for electricity supply in our province. “The fact that the government is pursing a plan that will virtually g uarantee a shortage in electricity supply and asking Ontario con- sumers to pay higher rates in re- turn is unconscionable." Smart meters to be introduced ✦ Smart from page 1 JOHN O’TOOLE Liberals have no plan for ‘reliable energy supply’. By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –The UOIT is plugged into a computing system that will soon become the most pow- erful in Canada, allowing scien- tific research to proceed at breakneck speed. It's called the Shared Hierar- chical Academic Research Com- puting Network, SHARCNET for short. And thanks to $50 mil- lion in new funding, SHARC- NET is poised to become one of the most powerful high perfor- mance computing (HPC) cen- tres in the world. The University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa recently joined 10 other SHARCNET academic institu- tions in southern Ontario. "The really innovative idea is that the institutions, the re- searchers collaborate together," says William Smith, UOIT's dean of science. "This is the glue that holds them together." He explains that in the past, computer resources had to be lo- cated where the scientists were working, at great cost. With SHARCNET, a researcher can take advantage of the entire sys- tem's resources, accelerating the pace of research hundreds of thousands of times faster than on a regular desktop computer. A scientist can solve problems that require great computation- al power, quickly accessing or processing huge amounts of data or interactivity across a network not centred in one geo- graphic location. Mr. Smith says the new fund- ing, from The Canada Founda- tion for Innovation (CFI), the Ontario government and SHAR- CNET partners, means eight to 16 state-of-the-art processors will be installed at UOIT. UOIT researchers will make good use of SHARCNET. Mr. Smith's work involves predicting the properties of substances at the molecular level. Anatoli Chkrebtii, an associate professor in the school of science, will use SHARCNET to simulate the ef- fects of radiation on populations and environments. Research re- sults that in the past would have taken a year or more on a PC can now be produced in one day. "We can solve problems now that we couldn't have even tack- led before," says Mr. Smith. "It'll just advance science on a broad front." A former faculty member at the University of Guelph, a SHARCNET partner, when he came to UOIT Mr. Smith was "very anxious for us to join the consortium." By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer PICKERING –A 23-year-old man was terrorized and beaten in the second Pickering home invasion investigated by Durham Regional Police in a week. Police converged on Creekview Circle, a residential street south- east of the intersection of Whites Road and Bayly Street, around 3 p.m. Thursday. A man told offi- cers he'd escaped his house after being threatened with a gun and roughed up by two assailants who burst through his front door, de- manding money. Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said the man told in- vestigators he'd answered a knock at his front door around 1:45 and was confronted by two white men, one of whom bran- dished a handgun. "The handgun was pointed at him as they demanded money," Sgt. Malik said. The thugs pulled the clip from the gun to show him it was real. The victim was roughed up and confined to his bedroom for about 20 minutes while his house was ransacked, Sgt. Malik said. The man, who suffered cuts to his face and head, told investigators he managed to get out of the house and run to a neighbour's residence, where he called police. Police arrived on scene and set up around the house on the as- sumption the assailants might still be inside. But when police checked the interior they found no one there, Sgt. Malik said. Police are looking for two white men in their mid to late 20s. One of them has a shaved head. The robbery came after a simi- lar invasion just two days earlier in Pickering. In that incident, a 15-year-old boy was tied up while four men, one of them armed with a handgun, searched the house on Brookshire Square Tuesday. The suspects in that incident are described as four black men, aged 18 to 24. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, August 15, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P Now in its 9th year, the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic has successfully raised over one million dollars for the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation.

No g un was found and police have not confirmed that a shooting was the cause of a broken window reported by a trucker, said Sergeant Paul Malik of Durham Regional Police. Police responded around 12:30 after receiving a call that a vehicle had been shot at. The Peterborough trucker told police he was on Sandy Beach Road near Willowside Court when a window was broken. As- suming he'd been shot at, the trucker told police he'd seen a Chrysler Neon be- side him when the damage occurred. A short time later police pulled over a Neon similar to the one the trucker had described, Sgt. Malik said. A search of the car re- vealed no gun, but did yield a small amount - less than a gram - of pot. The marijuana was seized, but no charges were laid.www.durhamregion.comPo t found, but no gun in reported shooting Workshop Tuesday part of safety week PICKERING –School can be bad for your child's health - or at least carrying the text- books that go along with school.

Brenner said Pickering has already tried education campaigns and laser signs to make people aware of speeding and to get them to stop. "We've tried a number of initiatives and unfortu- nately the problem contin- ues," he said. "Education is important, it is a great tool but you need anoth- er level of enforce- ment and we'll never have enough po- lice officers to do that." Coun. Brown agreed. "Photo radar just might be the answer for people slowing down on local roads," she said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said photo radar is a solution talked about around the council table but he is cautious about comments made by Mr. McGuinty regarding it being a way to raise money. "I'm very concerned that photo radar will be used and viewed as a cash cow... That's most inappropri- ate," he said. "The only rea- son for implementing photo radar is for the safe- ty of our streets."

They have a noble goal, to come up with a system that will en- courage a higher turnout of voters. It's needed if you reflect on the ever-dropping turnout percentage shown in past years, both locally and across the province in municipal elections. In Pickering, voter turnout last November was a mere 28 per cent, down from three years prior when 30 per cent came to the polls. So, the problem is clear, but the solution is not. We look forward to seeing the alternatives the clerk's depart- ment presents to council for this byelection, but we'd like to point out that two of the options discussed have flaws. Mail-in voting, although successful in increasing turnout, has proven to have drawbacks. In Clarington in 2000, there were ac- cusations of extra ballots being handed out and in Scugog, there were cases where people were still receiving ballots, long after moving away from the township. Yes, voter turnout has been increased in those two areas and in Uxbridge as well, where it was implemented. But ultimately, how can we be sure who is marking those ballots before they are returned? Then there's Internet voting. This one has us a lot more wor- ried. There are many computer wizards out there who can get around Internet safeguards on Web sites and cause havoc. Some companies spend millions each year to prevent hackers. Let's look at it from another angle. Does democracy require governments to entice the population to vote in elections? The answer is no. It's up to citizens to be involved in the process of selecting who governs them. Under our system of democracy, governments must do every- thing in their power to inform citizens that an election is taking place and let them know how to get involved and how to vote. But, after that it's up to those individuals to act upon that knowledge. It's a sad state of affairs when democracy doesn't work. And less than one-third of the population taking the time to vote and choose our elected officials is just that, sad. Still, until we pass laws requiring all eligible voters to vote, we have to accept the system as it is. Plaza will bring further traffic headaches To the editor: For 14 years I have been living at Whites Road and Granite Court and in later years have experienced the traffic congestion. It is not getting better and will get worse, especially if the proposal for a commercial plaza is approved. I attended the July 26 council meeting and was not satisfied with the result and reasons given by members of council. Have councillors and the mayor at least stood at this location between 5 to 7 weeknights, especially on summer long weekends? Have they personally exited at Whites Road and Hwy. 401 west, either going north or south of Whites? Every member of the council voted in favour of the proposal and the only justi- fication I could gather, was the econom- ic benefit it will bring the city. Because it is going to be a food store, more money (taxes) will be generated, compared to other types of businesses. Please consid- er the negative impact to each individ- ual, especially the residents of the area. Remedies were recommended during the meeting to mitigate the problem, but I want council to be there when their approval and recommendations are complete, to see the actual situation. Anyone who gave his approval should be held accountable for all that will go wrong. Again, for the benefit of all, please do not consider this plan to open a grocery store at Whites and Granite.

The smokers bee-lined it outside. Some grabbed pop from the fridge. Most of us stood around chatting and laughing. Here at the newspaper, as the minutes went by, one of the sports guys turned on a little battery-pow- ered radio. That's when we realized that the blue-grey darkness in our warehouse office extended far be- yond south Oshawa. The power was out across most of southern On- tario and the northeastern U.S. The adrenaline immediately started pumping. In a somewhat disturbing way, mass emergencies throw journalists into a complete frenzy. An animal-like instinct kicks in to be there and get the story, as we are the recorders of history. While editors set about assigning stories and waiting to see if the power was going to come back in time to ship the paper, I dashed home to feed my dog, all the while trying - like thousands of others - to check in with family on useless cell- phones. My husband and I cooked eggs on the barbecue and ate Chef Bo- yardee. As he settled down to spend the balmy night outdoors listening to the radio, I was antsy to get out and see what was happening on Durham's streets. I saw dozens of people walking their dogs and children, civilians di- recting traffic (some in vain). Mass lineups at gas stations. Countless people eating ice cream, some straight out of the carton. The po- lice had flares under Hwy. 401 over- passes. It was surreal to be driving in such darkness. And the quiet; I kept thinking, this is what the eye of a hurricane must be like. At regional headquarters, the lights and air conditioning were on as the Region's top guns worked to make sure residents were safe. Back at the office, we took turns frantically typing by candlelight on one lone laptop. Our fax line was working as a phone, and we guard- ed it like vultures. We laughed and shared junk food. I'll never forget the next morning sitting outside on a picnic table, a computer hooked up to a converter, which was hooked up to an idling grey car as I filed my story. We ended up putting together an award-winning edition that day. Durham's police chief joked re- cently he wants to have regular blackouts because people behaved so well. What a great idea: a re- minder that life goes on despite the lights going out. Carly Foster's column appears every third Sunday. E-mail cfos- ter@durhamregion.com.

It’s difficult to establish benchmarks and to comparison shop for a home renovator because peo- ple don’t shop for one as often as they shop for items such as shoes. Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart says that a home renovation project should be a well thought out decisions. It could cost thousand of dollars and will affect your family for many years so enlisting the help of an expert is key. The first step is information gathering. Visit showrooms, websites and publications to learn what products are available on the market. Get an overview and then narrow it down to what you real- ly want. “The next step is having a face-to-face meet- ing with a specialist, not a generalist,” says Sam. “It’s important to work with a person you feel com- fortable with. A rapport has to be established as well as a bond of trust” HIRE A SPECIALIST General contractors usually have the skill to oversee an entire project and often contract out spe- cific parts of it. Specialists focus on one trade. They do it day-in, day-out. They usually work faster because there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to the work at hand. Sam says that consumers should look for spe- cialists such as those at Plumbing Mart, who can give them exact start dates, progress time and a sub- stantive completion date. “Buyers should be careful about vague time- lines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor can start work in July, does that mean at the beginning of July or a the end of the month? Your life could be turned upside down for a whole month.” Consumers should also ask how long a con- tractor has been in business. A contractor that just started his business may have great intentions, but may not be able to respond appropriately if an unforeseen problem is encountered. “Plumbing Mart has been in business for more than 40 years. If there is a problem we can make five phone calls and come up with five differ- ent solutions.” An established specialist will also have expe- rienced several home renovating trends throughout the years and come with its own innovations. WARRANTY Wa r ranty is a key point. Always ask if it cov- ers the product, service, labour, or all three. If a bathtub comes with a manufacturer’s warranty only, will your contractor remove it at no cost so that you can claim your warranty from the manufacturer? Is the cost of labour going to be charged to you? Only a specialist that stands behind all facets of its work can give consumers the peace of mind that they deserve. IT’S YOUR DREAM When telling your chosen renovator about your dream room, will that person follow your agen- da or his? A good renovator should be able to think outside the box and have the resources to deliver what you want. Once you have agreed on an idea, that renovator should shop for all parts needed to complete the job. Ensure that your renovator also commits to disposing of garage and to leaving your home clean so that your family can start to enjoy the newly ren- ovated kitchen or bathroom right away.
