Trustees opt not to hold breath for Province By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –Still smarting from its lost special-education fund- ing, the public school board might try to avoid the same fate by spending most of the building money it has salted away. Durham District School Board trustees, at Tuesday's standing committee meeting, will receive a staff report outlin- ing where the next schools or ad- ditions should be built in the re- g ion to ease accommodation pressure. The information will not be made public at that point, but if going ahead with the work is feasible, board chair- woman Elizabeth Roy wants the tagged projects to become pub- lic at the Oct. 18 board meeting. She says it's better to spend much of the board's capital re- serves to help address current, pressing needs than to wait for the Liberal government to pull together a number of capital ini- tiatives sometime this fall. "As a board, we have the abili- ty once again to build projects that would not require our board to close schools," Trustee Roy told trustees at Monday's board meeting. "We can be pay- ing cash for new projects rather than borrowing funds." She said holding money in re- serves "leaves the board of trustees open for scrutiny from our community, our employee groups and from the Ministry (of Education)." The board in June decided to pay for Phase 1 of its latest ac- commodation plan by borrowing $20 million and using $7.7 million in reserves. Previously, it planned to use more than $12 million in reserves. Vidyia Rego, the board's budget manager, did not have an up-to-date number of how much the reserve con- tains. A year ago it held $38.7 million. Early this summer the board, which had been expecting $2.8 million in special-education funding from the Province, Mixed reviews in Pickering for recommendations By Danielle Milley Staff Writer DURHAM –The provincial Greenbelt Task Force's recom- mendations held few surprises and few details according to Durham politicians. The recommendations were released Aug. 20 after the task force spent months consulting with the public and discussing how a permanent Golden Horse- shoe greenbelt should be desig- nated. "That's what they are, is rec- ommendations," said Durham Region Chairman Roger Ander- son. "For some municipalities it will be a huge relief for them to know that they can continue to develop and for others it won't be because there can be devel- opment." The task force's report named no specific locations that should be part of the greenbelt except for the tender fruit and grape lands in Niagara and Hamilton and the Holland Marsh. Mr. Anderson was upset when the task force was created since there were no Durham represen- tatives, but now that the report has been released he is pleased municipalities have some con- trol back. "It gives all municipalities the opportunity to open up the Offi- cial Plan and incorporate it," he said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan on the other hand thinks the re- port lacks details. "The task force's recommen- dations are very open-ended," he said. "It really hasn't gotten us any closer to knowing what will happen and how." The task force focused on the criteria and principles that the Public board ready to forge ahead ✦See Pickering page 4 ✦See Report page 2 Greenbelt still undecided Province should consider when defining the Golden Horseshoe greenbelt, rather than the specifics of what pieces of land are to be included. It submitted three rec- ommendations to the Province: that a multi-dis- ciplinary, multi-stakehold- er approach be undertak- en to define the greenbelt; that the following princi- ples be observed when de- ciding what lands ought to be included: lands already permanently protected by easements and those owned by charitable trusts are appropriate for inclu- sion, lands that are pub- licly owned are also impor- tant to consider and the Province should consider provincially owned lands for their suitability for in- clusion in the greenbelt's natural heritage system; and that the greenbelt and a provincial growth man- agement initiative proceed simultaneously. In Durham, the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Pre- serve in Pickering has easements designating it agricultural land in perpe- tuity. Mayor Ryan doesn't believe the recommenda- tion about easements is specifically referring to the preserve. The study recommends development of the south- ern portion of the preserve, which was bought mainly by developers despite the easements. Mr. Anderson agreed with Mayor Ryan that the task force didn't specifical- ly mean the agricultural preserve. "My understand- ing is they weren't referring to Pickering but that is a debate that will take place in the future locally, region- ally and provincially," he said. In the report to the Province, the task force (headed by Burlington Mayor Rob MacIsaac) said knowledge from the local level is going to be essential when drawing the lines that define the greenbelt. "I personally believe that it should be up to the mu- nicipality to decide what should be included and what should be developed," Mr. Anderson said. "To give us guidelines is one thing - to dictate is a problem." While the task force was conducting its discussions, the Province issued a one- year moratorium on plan- ning changes outside urban areas. Mayor Ryan is con- cerned the report could rush decisions on what should be included in the greenbelt so the decisions are made before the mora- torium ends. "The freeze is there until December and they have no desire to extend it," he said.

Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor McLean attended a seminar dealing with conservation. "It's certainly something I want the City to look at and at the Region they should look at (efficiency with) buildings and equip- ment," he said. During the seminar, participants heard from other municipalities that have saved money through energy efficien- cies. "Not only are we saving money, but we are saving hydro," he said.

AMO leaves councillors feeling green BILL McLEAN Wants City to look into conservation. Report lacks details, says mayor ✦ Report from page 1 Moffatt asks chief for speedy end to investigation By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM –The head of Durham Region's Police Services Board is pressing for a quick end to the on- going investigation into allegations of misconduct by former Drug Enforce- ment Unit (DEU) officers. Chairman Doug Moffatt said the continuing con- troversy could be drawing attention away from other pressing police matters. He's seeking a speedy con- clusion to an internal Durham Regional Police investigation into poten- tial conduct issues that could lead to charges under the Police Services Act. "I've asked the chief and the deputies to be as ex- peditious as they possibly can be," Mr. Moffatt said this week. "If there are charges to be laid under the Police Services Act, let's get it on. "If not, let's move on." Allegations of criminal conduct levelled by a for- mer DEU officer in Janu- ary of 2003 led Chief Kevin McAlpine to call in On- tario Provincial Police, who spent months inves- tigating the claims. Last Thursday, the chief said at a press conference that the OPP had concluded "there is no reasonable prospect of a criminal conviction". But the OPP has sent back 54 of the more than 270 files that were part of the original investigation, the chief said. Those files are now being examined by a team of Durham cops to determine if infractions under the Police Services Act may have occurred. The Police Services Act addresses officers' c onduct; c harges laid under the act are not criminal in nature, but con- viction could lead to sanc- tions in- cluding dismissal. The allegations under investigation by the Durham task force are primarily complaints of excessive use of force. Former DEU cops, all of whom transferred out of the unit after the OPP probe began in February of 2003, have expressed frustration with the ongo- ing investigation. And they say the wording of the announcement last Thursday by the chief fails to vindicate them, even though the extensive OPP investigation resulted in no criminal charges. Mr. Moffatt said a more definitive statement would have helped to clear the officers involved and restore public confi- dence. "I would have preferred a clear statement," Mr. Moffatt said. "If there is a weakness in the whole thing, it is the wording." Mr. Moffatt said the ex- haustive probe found no misconduct in the majori- ty of DEU cases. "You come down to about six or seven (in- stances) where somebody did something they shouldn't have," he said. "That's the positive as- pect and I wish they'd have said it that way." Still, Mr. Moffatt said any cops found to have committed infractions under the Police Services Act will "pay the price". He said a thorough in- vestigation of any allega- tions is important to pre- serve the public's trust in the police service. Recognized for ‘building bridges’ between youth and community DURHAM –A Durham Re- g ional Police officer has been recognized with a na- tional award for his efforts to build bridges between youth and the community. Constable Dean Roy, a youth officer and a 13-year veteran with Durham po- lice, was awarded the Na- tional Youth Justice Polic- ing Award at the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police conference, held re- cently in Vancouver. The award recognizes Const. Roy's ongoing work to help teach community stakeholders about the new Youth Criminal Jus- tice Act, and ways they can work together to help prevent youth crime. His efforts have includ- ed creating a forum with public and separate school boards to ensure consis- tency in dealing with youth issues; encouraging community stakeholders to work together in solving issues of youth at risk and developing a data base en- compassing more than 100 agencies serving youth. Superintendent Greg Mills, who nominated Const. Roy, said the offi- cer's efforts promote an atmosphere of under- standing and co-operation in the community's re- sponse to youth justice. "It is because of Dean's commitment and innova- tive approaches that Durham Region has been recognized as a leader in Ontario for its youth pro- grams," Insp. Mills said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 5, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P GET ON THE 416 869 3200 1 888 GET ON GO TTY ONLY: 1 800 387 3652 THE LEAVES AREN’T THE ONLY THINGS CH ANGING THIS FALL.

But work won't be finished for weeks in some cases By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM –Some of Durham's new schools aren't completely finished, but all will open to stu- dents Tuesday for the first day of classes. Jack Massie, the Durham Dis- trict School Board's facilities ser- vices superintendent, says the combination of an ongoing shortage of skilled labourers and this summer's wet weather were the main reasons work would continue at three of the board's four new buildings into the school year. The board opens Donald A. Wilson Secondary School in Whitby, Eagle Ridge and Car- ruthers Creek public schools in Ajax and Bobby Orr Public School in Oshawa next week. St. Bridget Catholic School in Brooklin is the Durham Catholic District School Board's only new facility. "We've been in a (building) boom for pretty much the last, maybe five or six years; it's been difficult," says Mr. Massie. When the Whitby education centre was built 10 years ago, he noted there were 400 workers on site at times. However, when it came to building the multi-use school facility in Ajax a few years ago, Mr. Massie says he could never get over 100 tradespeople at once. The rain sometimes slowed things down, or even brought work to a halt if there was groundwork to do, Mr. Massie says. He notes the board hires general contractors who in turn hire sub-contractors. If the latter show up for outside work and it's pouring rain, "you miss your time and you have to go back in the queue," or at the end of the line. Whitby's fourth public high school is the furthest behind schedule. Tendered for $27.6 mil- lion. Donald A. Wilson has an Ed- ucation Ministry-rated capacity of 1,254 pupils, but will open with just over 600 Grade 9 to 11 stu- dents. Principal Lou Vavougios says the Rossland Road West school is comprised of two sections, blocks A and B. The former is complete, but Block B is not. As well, a lot of flashing and land- scaping work on the exterior is not finished. "There should be full access to the building for the kids; we're not blocking any parts off," he says. The first day will be a hectic one, as it is also the first day of joint busing of Wilson and All Saints Catholic Secondary School pupils. The Catholic high school is located across the street. "It always is (crazy on the first day), but it's also exciting to start a school. I'm looking for- ward to it," says Mr. Vavougios. Carruthers Creek in Ajax is a 655-student building, located at Hirons and Greenhalf drives. "They'll still be doing some work on the school for a month or so," says Mr. Massie. While the 448-pupil Eagle Ridge, on Delaney Drive, is fur- ther along than Carruthers Creek, work will be ongoing there as well. Mr. Massie says it will occur at both schools during the evening hours, and workers should be out of the building by the end of October. The Catholic board says only "minor things" remain to be fin- ished at the 385-student-capaci- ty St. Bridget, its second Brook- lin school. The public board is also com- pleting additions to Valley Farm Public School in Pickering and Colonel J. E. Farewell Public School in Whitby. "Both are currently under con- struction; we should occupy mid- to late-October," Mr. Massie says.

Every Wednesday & Sunday Mornings Pick ups in: Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax & Pickering It’s difficult to establish benchmarks and to comparison shop for a home renovator because people don’t shop for one as often as they shop for items such as shoes. Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart said that a home renovation project should be a well-thought out decision. It could cost thousands of dollars and will affect your family for many years — 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 really want. “The next step is having a face-to- face meeting with a specialist, not a generalist,” Beninato said. It’s important to work with a person you feel comfortable 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 specific parts of it. Specialists focus on one trade. They do it day-in, dayout. They usually work faster because there is no learning curve and they are dedicated to the work at hand. Beninato said that consumers should look for specialists such as those at Plumbing Mart,who can give them exact start dates, progress time and a substantial completion date. “Buyers should be careful about vague timelines,” he said. “If you’re told that a contractor can start work in March, does that mean at the beginning of March or at the end of that month? Your life could be turned upside down for a whole month.” Consumers should also ask how long a contractor 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 different solutions.” An established specialist will also have experienced several home renovating trends throughout the years and come up with its own innovations. WARR ANTY Warranty is a key point. Always ask if it covers 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 mid that they deserve. IT ’S YOUR DREAM W hen telling your chosen renovator about your dream room, will that person follow your agenda 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 garbage and to leaving your home clean so that your family can start to enjoy the newly renovated kitchen or bathroom r ight away.

Trustee Roy doesn't want history to repeat itself with capital reserves. In June, when she first raised the idea, Trustee Roy said she wasn't hiding the fact that she wanted a new school or addition in Whitby. She still does, but on Monday Trustee Roy said she would support building where the needs are greatest. The like- ly candidates are the northern parts of Whitby. Ajax and Os- hawa. Trustees unani- mously support- ed Trustee Roy's motion. Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau noted that some of the school boards that spent all their special-ed- ucation reserves still had funding clawed back by the ministry, advising that the board should "exercise caution in spending" on new schools. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler said the board can't wait for the minister to sort out capi- tal funding. "We are in a crisis. We are bursting at the seems in some of our schools," she said. Education director Craig Burch noted that with the report coming to trustees Tuesday, "it's basically the beginning of the next phase of the accommoda- tion plan." New schools open doors to students Pickering trustee advises caution ✦ Pickering from page 1 SHERRY CROTEAU ‘Exercise caution in spending’. Residents are concerned about more dust, now that a gravel pit has been approved in Goodwood. Tw o residents attended a public meeting at the planning department Tuesday. Both par- ties' main concerns surround the amount of dust that cur- rently gets blown around from two existing pits on Concession 3, just outside of Uxbridge. Lafarge Canada wants to open the Boland Pit once the James Pit beside it has been exhausted. The company has agreed to 12 conditions, such as tall trees to mitigate the dust, and regular noise audits. The pit must be approved by regional council Sept. 8. Committee looking at waste options The Region is looking at al- ternative waste options, the community waste disposal task committee said at its first meeting Wednesday. The group was briefed by consultants at the meeting, where "a number of technolo- gies that don't include landfill" were dis- cussed on how to handle residual waste - of what's left over from recycling and compost," said Works Commissioner Cliff Curtis. The Region has spent $90,000 to hire a consultant, who was supposed to help with a proposal for an incinerator. The company has since come back and said several ques- tions need to be answered be- fore that, including picking a site, estab- lishing a guaranteed waste tonnage and public input. Durham's garbage is currently sent across the border to Michi- gan. Mr. Curtis said the committee will meet again before holding public meetings in late fall. Public auction Sept. 25 The Region is liquidating surplus goods at its annual auc- tion Sept. 25. Items up for sale include used office equipment, cars, trucks, chainsaws, generators and fans. The goods come from the Region as well as mu- nicipalities such as Oshawa, Pickering and Uxbridge. Buyers can preview items from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sept. 24, and from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Sept. 25. Office equipment will be first on the block. The auction is at the Re- gion's works depot at 825 Con- lin Rd. in Whitby.

Police received a call at about 10:10 p.m. regarding a home invasion on Tragun- na Lane in Ajax. The victim managed to call 911 prior to the three masked and armed men entering the home, police report. A gun and a knife were used in the incident. Officers from the Ajax Pickering Community Po- lice Office arrived in min- utes, entered the home and made gunpoint arrests. A 40-year-old woman and her 18-year-old son were as- saulted but sustained no serious injuries, police re- port. Police also recovered a vehicle parked nearby with a loaded handgun. Gregory Barrington Parker, 22, of Ajax; Ishmael Comrie, 22, of Scarborough; and a 16-year-old Ajax male, who cannot be named under the Youth Justice Act, face numerous robbery and weapons charges. The charges are armed robbery, forcible confinement, use of dis- guise with intent to commit robbery, unauthorized pos- session of a restricted weapon, unauthorized pos- session of a firearm with ammunition, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, and possession of property obtained by a crime under $5,000. In addition to these charges Mr. Parker also faces one count of posses- sion of a controlled sub- stance. The 16-year-old faces one count and Mr. Comrie two counts of breach of recognizance. All three were held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice Friday in Oshawa. Home invasion stopped CLIFF CURTIS Wa t ching what we eat Restaurant convictions serve notice health guidelines must be met Smoking while cooking, unprotected food, dirty counters and employee clothing, utensils not completely clean, and milk left out all day - Durham Region health inspectors have witnessed all this and more in the last year. Last week the Region released its latest list of restaurants not making the grade when it comes to health and safety in the kitchen. The 20 restaurants convicted this time around from the period of January to June, follow another 35 announced in March for last July to December. The health department is re- quired by the Province to carry out regular inspections to re- duce the risk of food-borne illness. What’s troubling with the numbers is that under the Region’s inspection for compliance approach, owners are given every op- portunity to ensure charges aren’t laid and that they won’t have to feel a pinch in the pocketbook. If a restaurant is found in some form of violation, Durham of- ficials say it’s instructed on how to come into compliance. If the department still doesn’t receive compliance, it issues a work order letter detailing what is to be done and a deadline for changes to be completed. As a final resort, it pursues legal ac- tion. In the case of convictions, that can result in anything from fines, right up to closure orders, depending on the situation. The final piece of the puzzle, the one that along with legal repercussions appears to be finally getting the attention of many in the industry, is the public release of the names of all convicted restaurants. Alex Connor, manager of environmental health for the Re- gion, noted previously Durham tried an educational approach to make restaurants aware of responsibilities. When that didn’t have the desired effect, it moved forward with the current “rigid” enforcement model. “We’re certainly not in business to put people out of busi- ness,” noted Mr. Connor, who added, “Now when we talk we get listened to at least.” To be sure, for many establishments a visit from Durham in- spectors isn’t much to worry about at all. Proper health and safety practices, along with employee training, are as common- place as taking customers’ orders. However, those abusing the guidelines are starting to rue the Region’s call. As well they should. Demanding, checking and then following up to ensure restaurants are doing everything possible to keep customers healthy can’t be optional, it must be mandatory. The legal recourse and release of names ensures the guidelines have the necessary teeth to leave the desired mark. A night on the town can’t be a gamble with one’s health. Time for teachers to stop holding students ransom To the editor: Re: 'Back to school and the picket line,' Tony Doyle column, Aug. 29. Mr. Doyle has hit the nail on the head. The real problem is not the current or previous government at Queens Park, but the inability of teachers and their aggressive unions to come to grips with the new reality. We all work harder than we did some five or 10 years ago. Every one of us. And most of us, if given the opportu- nity to work 10 or 11 hours a day with some of those hours at home, marking papers, instead of all in the workplace, and having two months off during the summer, would jump at the chance. Teachers complain of stress and inad- equate preparation time. We all have stress. That's life, and how much prep time do you need when teaching the same course as last year? Teachers already have more spare time and vastly superior pension bene- fits than most working people. They should count their blessings. I think it's just plain greed, and it's wrong for teachers to hold all taxpayers and espe- cially parents of school aged-children up for ransom to squeeze out more money and-or free time. We need more journalists telling it like it is instead of wringing their hands at those mean people in government. W.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 5, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Durham teen overwhelmed by public support for his pet cause K yle Gordon is one happy animal lover. The Oshawa teen was blown away by the support from the community after we ran a story about his bake/garage sale for The Animal Guardian Society. The phone at the Gordon household started ringing after the story went to print and didn’t really stop all weekend. People from all over Durham stopped by the house with items to be sold in the sale. Even more came to the event last Saturday, helping Kyle sur- pass his $1,000 goal by hundreds of dollars. And the giving didn’t stop when the family put the tables away. People were still showing up at the house on Sunday with donations for TAGS. The same community response was felt by the Copithorn family in Newcastle. Glen’s daughter, Jennifer, was brutally murdered a few years ago, and her dad is sell- ing a CD to raise money for a vic- tim’s rights fund. We wrote a story, and Glen has been bombarded with calls from people not only wanting to buy the CD, but also wanting to sell it at their stores. Hearing Glen’s voice on the line the other day when he was relat- ing this made my day, and is a thankful reminder of why many of us pursue community journalism. I’m not sure if it’s the busyness of our world today, but it’s often easy to forget that all of us are real people with families and lives and feelings. I have to admit that sometimes I take for granted the awareness and generosity of our readers. On behalf of both families, thank you. Thanks for caring enough to do something.

Oxford Learning's unique curriculum and internationally recognized assessment tools give students the skills to achieve better grades, more self confidence and increased motivation. 905-420-3141 PICKERING/AJAX www.oxfordlearning.com Reading Writing Math French Study Skills The new year begins with high hopes for success and achievement. No matter how much a student has struggled in the past, it’s a new opportunity. This is the year it will finally come together! Sometimes it does. As a parent, this is our heart’s wish. Sometimes, students acquire those organizational skills, set higher standards for themselves and stay motivated through the entire year. Often though, that motivation begins to erode before long and work begins to slide. Why is this and where does the motivation go? Let’s look to a true story for a clue. Two Grade 5 classmates, Bobby and Steve, were moving to a new school. Both were diligent students and got A’s in math. As soon as the year began it was obvious that these young men were behind in math. The standards at the new school were higher. Bobby got mad and felt it was unfair that he had never been taught some of the skills he needed this year. Instead of quitting, he was motivated by this unjustice to try harder. He soon mastered these skills, caught up to the class and was once again achieving his customary top grades. Steve also felt it was unfair. However, he worried that he would not do well, that his classmates would think he was dumb and that his parents would be disappointed. His fear and lack of confidence robbed him of his motivation so he stopped trying and fell behind. Two kids, both smart, both apparently motivated to do well in math - what happened? The difference beween these two young men was that one of them acted to reach his goals despite his feelings of fear - he did not give in to those feelings. Like most things in life, this is a skill - one that has to be learned. Our feelings are strong and, when we feel something, we often feel that we have to act upon it. But this is not always true. Feelings are there to guide us. It is not always appropriate for us to act upon them. Often our feelings lead us away from our goals. We must learn to hear our feelings, to respect them, but to act on our goals. That is the secret of success in school and life. When kids learn to distinguish the differences between feelings and goals, they can act to achieve their goals. Students who have not learned to recognize the differences, always act on their feelings. This explains why a student who truly wants to do better in school and who starts in the new year determined to do all these things, suddenly seems to run out of gas and lose all that motivation. It can happen because of a careless or inadvertently negative remark made by a parent or teacher or a jeering taunt made by a fellow student or just an incorrect assumption made by the student - “I’m dumb - everybody else in this whole class understands this math and I can’t get it at all.” That’s how it starts. After the initial damage is done, our brains seem to work against us - they look to verify the judgement suggested by the feeling. The feelings that follow are usually negative: “Why bother to study, I’ll never get it anyway!”, “School sucks. I can hardly wait until I get out.”, “Who needs school anyway?” and so on. This becomes a repetitive subconscious conversation we have with ourselves, which serves to reinforce our feelings of failure; motivation disappears. But, it does not have to. Students who learn how to distinguish the differences between thoughts and feelings and who learn how to set goals and how to construct plans of action, will be able to act despite their negative and draining feelings. Learning to feel and understand your feelings, but not to act on them, is possible. Oxford Learning Centres teach students how to set goals and achieve them.

Whitehead, Ph.D. TO ADVERTISE IN EDUCATION CALL MARILYN AT 905-683-5110 Rider taking unicycle to B.C. and back By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –Duncan Tillson is tak- ing his love of unicycling and his sorrow for victims of crime on a cross-Canada tour to help others. Mr. Tillson, who lives in Bow- manville, is hoping to ride his uni- cycle from Bowmanville to Hali- fax to British Columbia and back to raise funds for the Jennifer Co- pithorn Fund for Victims of Vio- lent Crime. After reading about Ms. Cop- ithorn's murder and her father's goal to raise money for victims in the sale of a CD, Mr. Tillson knew he had his reason to ride. "I've always known I'd like to ride across Canada and raise money for a cause," he said. "Now I've caught the heartbeat of Jen- nifer's case. Violent crimes affect everybody." Ms. Copithorn was only 24 when her obsessed ex-boyfriend, Robert Appleton, stabbed her to death in a bank in Bowmanville six years ago. Ms. Copithorn suf- fered 19 stab wounds, including one that pierced her spine. Mr. Tillson said he doesn't want to make the ride a personal issue, but his wife was abused before they got married, and has always said it's almost impossible to get proper protection. He said he was also mentally abused while work- ing in the automotive business before retiring. Unicycling is his full-time job - he plays guitar and juggles fire- sticks and hatchets at parties and children's ministries - and Mr. Tillson spends four hours each day training. "I had always done juggling and always had an interest in the uni- cycle," he said. "I just felt one day that the Lord bumped my heart and said to get a unicycle." Mr. Tillson said he saw a man at a street festival in downtown Bowmanville riding a unicycle, and bought one shortly after. The dealer couldn't believe when Mr. Tillson returned the next week and could ride the bike around the block. "Sometimes you just find you have a gift you didn't know you had," he said. He now has three unicycles: a freestyle one for performances, another called a muni for off- roading on trails and a coker, which has a giant 36-inch wheel. Mr. Tillson said he's prepared for the skeptics. "When I leave, people are going to say, 'He can't do it,'" he said. "I'll be 50. They'll think it's something that young kids do. (But) people all around here who know me, know that I've been training for this." Mr. Tillson hopes to start the ride in April, and figures it will take six months. He's looking for corporate sponsors to help. Con- tact him at 905-623-7803. He has one wheel and a whole lot of heart Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Duncan Tillson is preparing for a fundraising ride from Bowmanville to B.C. in the spring. Money will go to the Jennifer Copithorn Fund for Victims of Violent Crime. Opinions vary on need for 65-and-out rule By Jane McDonald Staff Writer DURHAM –When it comes to retirement, there are as many opinions as there are workers. The luckiest can't wait to get up in the morn- ing to go to work. They love what they do and they're good at it. These people don't even want to think about the gift his employer will give him when he hits 65. He'd much rather keep his job than wear a new watch. "I think all this talk about age is foolish. Every time I'm one year older, everyone else is, too," said film star Gloria Swanson, whose portrayal of Norma Desmond in 'Sunset Boule- vard' dealt with the cruel reality of a film star being put out to pasture while still in her early sixties. Myrna is not a glam- orous movie star. But in the last 30 years she has worked outside the home while single-handedly rais- ing two children. Would she like to see an end to mandatory retirement? No way. The woman, who asked that her full name not be used, has worked for a publishing firm for 30 years and says she can't wait until Jan. 28, 2005, when she's free. "I think it should be mandatory and I think it should be at 60 with full benefits, CPP, etc., she says. "The young ones need to work. Let the younger people take over. They need the jobs." Some workers have saved and planned and dreamed of a life free from work. They want to travel, take up water-colour painting and spend more time with the grandchil- dren. There have been many reactions to the Ontario government's recent an- nouncement to legislate a ban on mandatory retire- ment. In essence, Canadi- ans will be able to work past 65. The Prime Minis- ter doesn't like it, nor does the governor of the Bank of Canada think it's a good idea. The Canadian Asso- ciation of Retired Persons and the Ontario Human Rights Commission are also opposed to the plan. The three groups lead- ing the resistance to changing mandatory re- tirement rules are unions, employers and econo- mists. L abour unions worry that by removing a com- pulsory retirement age would give employers and governments the ability to weaken hard-won gains in private and public pen- sion. "We represent 200,000 workers in the province, the largest union in On- tario and we are absolutely opposed," said Sid Ryan, president of the Ontario Division. "We don't think someone working on the line at GM wants to work on the line at 70 years of age," says Mr. Ryan. The union leader says he would rather see more cre- ative approaches dis- cussed, such as early re- tirement. "But we must make sure everybody has a decent Pension plan so they can live in dignity'' Although a ban on mandatory retirement would allow someone to work as long as he or she wanted to and was able to, others worry that pension sponsors could raise the age for full benefits, penal- izing workers who didn't stay on the job an extra few years. Of course the govern- ment could save money by not having to pay pensions to pensionable baby boomers.

With just a single pinprick of your finger to extract a drop of blood that is magnified 1500x under a microscope we can view it on a TV screen, to reveal factors about your health. This introspective look at your red and white blood cells reveals your unique health condition. Trauma is a main cause of all illness and what are uncovered are the stressors relating to trauma. Examples of these stressors are chemicals, deficiencies of nutritional elements, lack of digestive integrity (proteins, fats and carbs), also signs of fungal and bacterial activity, and finally altered pH (resulting in acidosis of the tissues). Disease can only manifest in an acid environment. Your body functions best when the pH of most of its fluids is in range (6.5-7.0). Most of us unfortunately, are quite acidic and this affects our metabolism as pH changes the way our enzymes work for us.

Public school board moves to reduce class sizes DURHAM –Public school board trustees have signed off on the board's Primary Class Size Plan 2004/05. The Education Ministry gave the Durham District School Board $2.9 million this year to begin reducing class sizes in junior kindergarten to Grade 3 classes. It is a key part of the McGuinty government's strate- gy to improve students' Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) test scores. With the money, the board pur- chased eight portables, hired 34 full- time-equivalent teachers, and bought $80,000 worth of learning materials and classroom supplies to begin reducing class sizes in 44 Durham public schools. Staff used large primary class sizes and low lev- els of student achievement as the criteria. The schools are identified in the plan, to be posted on the board's website, ddsb.durham.edu.on.ca, after ministry approval. Fifteen are in Oshawa, eight each are in Picker- ing, Ajax and Whitby, three are in Scugog, and there is one each in Brock and Uxbridge. The ministry required school boards to submit the plan, outlining how they have used the funding, by Dec. 15. Student trustee elections could be changing DURHAM –Trustees have formed an ad hoc committee to review a num- ber of suggested changes to how stu- dent trustees make it to the Durham District School Board table. If put in place, elections would take place at the high school level to determine the school's pick for the position. From there, student coun- cil presidents and prime ministers representing each of the board's mu- nicipalities would choose the stu- dent trustees in a three-ballot, vot- ing process. Currently, after a call for those in- terested in the job at the school level, principals determine the schools' nominees. "I think there should be a lot of discussion around these changes," said Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler, vol- unteering to sit on the committee at the Aug. 30 board meeting. Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett, board chairman Elizabeth Roy and the board's new student trustees also expressed an interest in the committee. Julius Tapper, a Grade 12 student at Sin- clair Secondary School in Whitby, and Amanda Canavan, in her final year at Pickering High School in Ajax, were introduced at the meet- ing as the new student trustees.

Pickering beat Lindsay 2-1, but lost to the Ajax Axemen 4-2 in Ajax Thursday night. Teams to play another exhibition tilt Sept. 8; begin regular season in Ajax Sept. 12 DURHAM —Round one in this season's Pickering Panthers- Ajax Axemen rivalry goes to the Ajacians. The two OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior 'A' Hockey League teams hooked up for their first of two pre-season contests at the Ajax Community Centre Thurs- day night, with the Axemen drawing first blood by downing the Panthers 4-2. The two clubs suit up for the final time in the pre-season on Wednesday, Sept. 8 at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex at 8:30 p.m. The cross-town rivals will meet for the 2004-05 regular-season debut at the Ajax Community Centre on Sunday, Sept. 12 at 3 p.m. The Panthers came into Thursday's contest with a three- game pre-season win streak on the line. For the Axemen, it was their first exhibition win after previous losses to Wexford, Cobourg and Oshawa. Ajax scored twice in the first period, only to have the Panthers draw even with goals in the sec- ond by Craig McDonald and Gregg Riggs. Later in the second, Ajax took a 3-2 lead and ended the scoring in the third. For the Panthers, they went into the contest with a large con- tingent of veteran players in the line-up, including forwards Derek Lynden, Richard Schofield, Jeff Birr, John Scrym- geour, defencemen Ryan Annes- ley, Michael Banwell and Danny Sullivan and goaltender Brian Schermele. But, the veteran presence did- n't help against a fired-up Axe- men squad that mainly con- tained players on the roster bub- ble, looking to make an impres- sion on the coaching staff. Panthers' head coach John Winder says the Axemen simply wanted it more, and that fact was most evident on the ice. "They outskated us and outchanced us and they were able to capitalize on their chances," opined Winder. "We let a couple of soft goals in. But, we're still at a point where we're going with players who are look- ing for a shot to play at this level." Winder gave full marks to Axe- men starting goaltender Devon Ramasawmy, who played with the Panthers most of last season, for posting a strong, complete- game effort. "He played well. You have to give full credit where credit's due," says Winder. Axemen head coach Larry La- belle was impressed with his team's work. "Our guys played well. Every game they're getting better and better. I guess the guys were up for it. The night before in Os- hawa wasn't their best perfor- mance. We knew that and they tried to redeem themselves." Labelle was also well pleased with Ramasawmy's effort. So much so, that he left him in for the entire game. Usually, in pre- season, the action is split equally between two goalies. Both teams are close to finaliz- ing their rosters for the regular season, which gets underway next week. The Axemen are look- ing to make only one or two more cuts to arrive at a 22- or 23-man roster. They are, however, in a wait-and-see mode with four players who are currently in- jured, including Stephen Carnegie, formerly of the Uxbridge junior 'C' Bruins, with a separated shoulder; Jordan Weinberg with a mild concus- sion; Sean Greenwood, who's al- most fully recuperated from off- season knee surgery; and Jordan Hiormikson, who has a deep shoulder bruise. The club's also waiting on forward Brent Clarke who's currently attending the Ontario Hockey League Missis- sauga Ice Dogs' training camp. Labelle says he's hoping most of his injured players will be available for action during the season opener against Pickering. Meanwhile, Pickering will have its final 23-man roster in place in time for its remaining pre-season contests against Ajax on Sept. 8 and the Capital District Selects of New York State on Sept. 9. The Panthers are in Lindsay to play the Muskies this afternoon (Sunday) at 1:30 p.m. They trav- el to Scarborough to play the We xford Raiders at the Scarbor- ough Arena Gardens on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, the Axemen are at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday night against the Os- hawa Legionaires at 8:30 p.m. GAME NOTES:In addition to Ra- masawmy, Labelle noted sopho- more forward Devon Murphy was a solid performer in Thurs- day's win. "He has really stepped up his play," says Labelle... For the Panthers, Winder says rook- ies McDonald, Riggs, Ryan Mc- Sween (formerly of the Toronto Marlies) and Marcus Carroll, of the Ajax-Pickering Raiders minor midgets, all had solid games... Panthers currently have Chris Chappell, Chris Dixon, Ryan Daniels, Justin Fox and Phil McIlhone at Ontario Hockey League camps... The Panthers released forward Steve Horvat, formerly of the Toronto Red Wings midgets, after Thursday's game... Axemen outwork Panthers to take battle of Ajax-Pickering PICKERING — A trio of Pickering tennis players emerged victori- ous against U.S. competition at the Rochester Open Junior Ten- nis Championships recently. The Pickering Tennis Acade- my at the Pickering Recreation Complex sent three players to the tournament, with all three claiming their respective division titles. Irfan Shamasdin, 18, faced a tough challenge in the final, but was reward- ed with the c hampi- onship. Playing Tyler An- derson of Norwich, V ermont, Shamasdin was down 3- 4, 0-40 on his service. An- derson's penetrating returns and deep baseline attacks were threaten- ing Shamasdin with a critical break. Undaunted, Shamasdin rebounded with sound strategy to get back in the game. Both players continued to hold serve to 6-6. Shamasdin prevailed in the tiebreaker and held the mo- mentum the rest of the way to win 7-6, 6-1. Shamasdin defeated Rochester's hard-hitting Ben- jamin Guzick 6-0, 6-0 in the semi- finals. Idrees Khan, 15, captured the under-16 men's singles title, after struggling to get by his first op- ponent. Khan dominated top-seeded Matthew Rubenstein of Pitts- ford, New York 6-1, 6-1 in the final. In the semifinal, Khan defeated Jason Tahir of Rochester 6-0, 6-2. In early-round action, Khan was down 5-3 early against Ryan McCormick of Rochester. Khan rebounded to tie the match at 5- 5 and continued to gain momen- tum to take the match 7-5, 6-1. Khan knocked off second-seeded Michael Topf of Pittsford 6-0, 6-1 in his second match. In the under-12 division, An- drew Ochotta prevailed in the final over Rochester's Trevor Sluman 6-1, 6-1. Ochotta started strongly in his semifinal match, winning the first set 6-0, but the speed and experience of Timothy Kane of Hamburg, New York earned him the second set victo- ry, 4-6. Ochotta, however, re- bounded smartly to take the final set 6-0. Ochotta hammered his opening-round opponent, Eric Reimer of Rochester 6-0, 6-0.

Expires September 30th In today’s financial community, the most important factor is your credit score. This is made up from past and present credit ratings. (With the most weight being the present) One misconception is that if you have had problems IE: two or more months behind, and you have brought them cur- rent, the negative effect has gone away. Nothing could be further from real- ity. Arrears will have a major impact for a minimum of twelve months, and a minor impact for another twelve to twenty four months. Another miscon- ception is that “SHOPPING” a deal is a good thing. Every time you apply for something, the first thing a lender does is a credit bureau. Anymore than three inquiries over a six month period has a major negative impact as the computer deems you as a credit seeker. Make general calls to lenders, rather than a formal application, make sure they can give you what you require before making a formal application. Lastly, first Mortgage payments do not even show on your bureau. Little weight is placed on loans or leases. The almighty revolving credit (credit cards) is where your scoring comes from. Do not exceed your limits, and make sure you always make your minimum monthly payment. CONSOLIDATE NOW A good consolidation can save thousands in yearly payments. The average savings to our clients is in excess of $900.00 a month. For most people this can be the difference between a good credit scoring and a poor one. First and Second Mortgages are available to 100% of current market value, with good income and credit history. Private First and Second Mortgages are always available for those clients that don’t quite fit in the normal lend- ing flow. For fast Professional service where your requirements are the main priority, call Central Funding Group Limited. Till next time Glenn A.
