Developers requesting
25 storey high-rise
at former Bay Ridges Plaza
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — An additional 25-storey
building proposed for Bayly Street and Liv-
erpool Road will be a nightmare, says a local
resident.
Construction of the mixed-use develop-
ment San Francisco By the Bay is currently
underway on the southwest corner of Bayly
Street and Liverpool Road. Commercial
space, town homes and two high-rises have
been approved and, if Council passes the
newest proposal, the development will add
up to a total of 734 residential units and
2,408 square metres of gross leasable floor
space.
SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. has applied to
amend the City of Pickering Official Plan
zoning by-law to allow 225 units per hectare,
as opposed to the current 140.
The newest building would feature 237
units and 400 sq. metres of gross leaseable
floor space.
Doris Hopper-Riede of St. Martin’s Drive
fears the new building will bring even more
traffic to the already busy and dangerous
intersection. It’s gone beyond being a prob-
lem for immediate residents, she says, and
will affect commuters since even more cars
will clog up the intersection. She thinks
many drivers exiting the complex will turn
left onto St. Martins Drive, then left onto
Radom Street and back onto Liverpool Road
to avoid the intersection.
“It’s a perfect loop and it’s a perfect recipe
for gridlock,” she says.
Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson
disagrees since the intersection of Radom
Street and Liverpool Road is already busy.
Ms. Hopper-Riede feels the developer’s
projection of residents requiring less than
one parking space per unit is far-fetched,
and says even if it weren’t, that would bring
many more cars. She also questioned what
would happen if there were a nuclear catas-
trophe or any other type of emergency, since
Liverpool Road is supposed to be the area’s
main escape route in case of such an event.
Coun. Dickerson says new residents are
requiring even less parking than was pro-
jected.
“We’re down to .9 vehicles per unit,” he
says, adding the development has a con-
cierge vehicle service.
Georgs Kolesnikovs, chairman of the
Bayshore Neighbours Association, says the
“moral issue” bothers him most.
“It’s money, money, money,” he says.
He also fears for the environmental affects
since the building will go right beside the
Douglas Ravine, where wildlife, such as deer,
are often spotted.
A spokesman for the developer did not
return calls.
The new building would go right on top of
the Square Boy Plaza, where some remain-
ing businesses from the old plaza remain.
Local business owners did not want to go on
the record.
A public information meeting on the pro-
posal is on Monday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m. at
the Pickering Civic Complex. Those inter-
ested in speaking must notify the City clerk
by 4:30 p.m. that day.

DURHAM -- General Motors
revealed its intentions to stay in
Canada last week when it laid out
its restructuring plan.
Now it’s time to talk labour costs
with the Canadian Auto Workers.
The restructuring plan noted
something has to be done about
“exceptionally high ‘legacy costs’
related to the need to fund retiree
pensions and related health care
benefits.”
The current contract, which
was negotiated in May 2008, now
needs to be reopened and reex-
amined. And changes need to
be made by the end of March,
according to the restructuring
plan, which is required if GM is to
get bailout money from the federal
and provincial governments.
Representatives from the CAW
have been tight lipped about what
areas of the contract they are will-
ing to negotiate. National presi-
dent Ken Lewenza said, at a news
conference last week, the CAW is
committed to keeping the wages
and pension benefits that are in
place.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to go
into the pockets of our pension-
ers,” he said.
Enrollment in GM pension plans
for hourly and salaried employees
currently stands at 56,000. The
ratio of active workers to retiree or
surviving spouses is now over 1:3.
This ratio will increase to 1:5 when
the Oshawa truck and Windsor
transmission plants close and the
additional salaried employment
reductions in take place as part
of the 10,000 job cuts worldwide
announced earlier this month.
Pensions are not a new con-
cern for the union. Retiree bene-
fits have been underfunded since
1992, Local 222 president Chris
Buckley said.
“The criticism from the public is
so unfair,” he said.
The union has been bargaining
through phases of restructuring
for more than 15 years, Mr. Buck-
ley said. Since 1993, the CAW has
had 17,850 members take buyout
and early retirement packages, a
move he said has saved the jobs of
junior members.
This bargaining has kept people
off employment insurance and out
of the social welfare system, sav-
ing taxpayers money, Mr. Buckley
said.
Mr. Lewenza said last week that
the CAW intends to maintain its
competitive advantage against
the United Auto Workers (UAW).
The union plans to benchmark
its wage costs with the UAW, not
against non-unionized plants, he
said.
But the plan outlines the need
to be competitive with North
American transplant competitors
(Honda and Toyota production
facilities in Canada and the Unit-
ed States) that have costs “due to
demographic and contractual dif-
ferences between the work forc-
es.”
The plan also calls labour
provisions from past
collective bargaining
agreements in North
America untenable
versus new competi-
tors. “(GM Canada) has
also shared significant informa-
tion with the CAW relative to the
need to be competitive with US
Auto Transplants and the need to
address the legacy cost burden,”
the plan states.

DURHAM -- The restructur-
ing plan submitted by Gen-
eral Motors Canada shows
how important innovation and
research are to the automotive
industry.
Ronald Bordessa, president of
the University of Ontario Insti-
tute of Technology, said the
school’s Automotive Centre of
Excellence (ACE) is even more
important.
“It’s a good announcement,”
Dr. Bordessa said of the restruc-
turing plan. “It recognizes how
critical UOIT and automotive
innovation is to the future of
General Motors.”
GM and Chrysler Canada sub-
mitted separate restructuring
plans to the federal and Ontario
governments on Friday, as the
automakers seek bail-
out money needed to
keep them afloat.
GM filed a 52-page
proposal and is seek-
ing $6 to $7 billion in
aid.
“There is, actually, a
reference made to the
Beacon Project and
the General Motors
Automotive Centre of
Excellence at UOIT.
It (ACE) is currently
under construction,”
Dr. Bordessa said.
“It’s clear, it’s ensuring both
levels of government have indi-
cated the importance of these
centres,” Dr. Bordessa said.
Having the centre is important
from a research and develop-
ment capacity, he said.
“All in all, one could say, the
restructuring plan will real-
ly firmly establish UOIT as an
important player with
GM, recognizes what it
needs to do, to be suc-
cessful in the future,”
Dr. Bordessa said.
Research and devel-
opment will be even
more important in the
next few years as the
auto industry moves
towards electric cars,
such as GM’s Volt.
The ACE includes a
wind tunnel and the
centre, at UOIT in
Oshawa, is scheduled to be fin-
ished by the end of this year. The
provincial government contrib-
uted $66 million to con-
struct the facility, he
said.
“The wind tunnel
is a one-of-a-kind
facility. It allows
General Motors and
other users to test
vehicles under all
kinds of thermal and
climatic conditions. It’s
essential in the process of
designing new vehicles.”
There are several UOIT facility
members working on fuel cells,
electric motors and the use of
hydrogen as a fuel source, Dr.
Bordessa said.
“There’s all kinds of ways to
power cars.
“General Motors has pro-
vided us with some software
that’s quite expensive,” he said,
adding the software is used in
labs by students doing design
work.

Michelle Gaudet / Metroland
Chris Buckley, president of CAW Local 222, talks about the future of pension plans in Canada. General
Motors has indicated it needs help maintaining pensions given the state of the economy.
Here’s a breakdown of what
the plan released on Friday says
in regards to Oshawa:
Canadian Production
The plan maintains GM
Canada’s share of Canadian/U.S.
vehicle production. Production is
expected to range between 17
per cent and 20 per cent between
2009 and 2014. The document
said that going forward, GM’s pro-
duction capacity will focus on the
Oshawa Car Flex manufacturing
line and production at the CAMI
plant in Ingersoll.
Salaries and Benefits
Includes a 10 per cent reduc-
tion in executive salaries. There
will be reduced benefits and pay
for salaried workers. The docu-
ment states the company wants
to establish a “VEBA-like” struc-
ture for health care benefits. The
UAW has established a VEBA
health care structure, a tax-free
fund that employers and employ-
ees pay into. This would have to
work differently in Canada.
Greener Fleet
GM will offer more hybrid
models in 2009 than any com-
petitor, according to the plan. The
company will introduce the Chev-
rolet Volt extended range electric
car in 2011.
The Oshawa-Volt Connection
The plan says the company is
participating in the development
of electric vehicle technologies
through research and develop-
ment taking place at the Cana-
dian Engineering Cen-
tre in Oshawa.
It also talks
about
collabo-
ration
with
Ontario
Power
Generation and other utilities to
prepare consumers for electric
vehicle technology.
Built in Oshawa
The plan enables the launch
of four vehicles in Oshawa and
one in Ingersoll, including new
hybrid vehicle production.
But the union stresses
that these aren’t new
commitments.
“These aren’t
new vehicles,”
CAW Local
222 presi-
dent Chris
Buckley said.
“We bar-
gained these
vehicles in May and when we
resolved the truck plant closure.
We already knew these vehicles
were coming to Oshawa.”
Dealerships
There are more than 700 GM
dealers in Canada, a reduction of
approximately 15 per cent since
2000.
GMCL plans to continue to
work closely with its Canadian
dealers on further consolidation
and rationalization and expects to
have 450-500 dealers in Canada
by 2014.

Teacher charged
with abuse
of 14-year-old boy
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Allegations such as
those levelled this week against a
Durham teacher accused of sexual
activity with a young person are
addressed with the utmost gravity,
says a spokesman with the provin-
cial teacher’s college.
And while they make headlines,
accusations of sexual impropri-
ety among the province’s 220,000
teachers are “an aberration”, said
Brian Jamieson, of the Ontario
College of Teachers.
“It’s a fraction of the actual
number of (teachers) out there,”
Mr. Jamieson said Tuesday.
“It is an aberration when some-
thing like this happens.”
Durham police said Monday
a 34-year-old elementary school
teacher has been charged with
sexual assault and sexual exploita-
tion involving a 14-year-old boy.
A woman and boy were found
engaged in a sex act by officers
patrolling rural Clarington Friday
night, police said.
Police have refused to name the
teacher, saying that might reveal
the identity of the alleged victim.
The boy does not attend the Whitby
school where the woman teaches
but they have a “well-known rela-
tionship” in an athletics program
outside of school, said Detective-
Constable Jenn Bickle-Hearn.
The teacher, a Bowmanville
resident, was released on bail
with conditions; she has been sus-
pended with pay by the Durham
District School Board.
Mr. Jamieson said allegations
of sexual impropriety or abuse
against students are among the
gravest that can be levelled against
a teacher -- and can carry the dir-
est professional consequences.
“That’s the worst thing -- any
kind of assault or inappropriate
conduct with a student is the grav-
est thing,” he said.
“It’s very infrequent.”
The College is responsible for
investigating complaints against
teachers and, in the event they
are found to have substance, with
meting out discipline to offenders.
Sanctions can range from a repri-
mand to suspension and, in some
cases, revocation of a teacher’s
right to teach.
While the College may receive
up to 1,500 complaints a year, an
average of 300 will proceed to the
investigative level, Mr. Jamieson
said. College statistics for 2007
show that 325 complaints were
investigated -- 95 of them allega-
tions of abuse, including sexual
impropriety -- with 64 cases being
referred to the disciplinary com-
mittee.
In that year, 16 revocation or-
ders were issued by the discipline
committee while six teachers were
suspended and 13 were repri-
manded.
In the event criminal charges
are laid, the college’s actions will
occur after that process has been
completed, Mr. Jamieson said.

Q. Can I claim my hearing loss on my income tax?
A. If a person is disabled to the point that they cannot perform
one of the normal functions of day to day living (hearing,
walking), the person may qualify as “disabled” for tax purposes.
Tax Disability forms are available from your Accountant which specifi es the area
of disability and specifi es the criteria. With a recent audiogram (hearing test),
our staff Audiologists can certify an individual’s eligibility for the Disability Tax
Credit. This service is included in our Worry Free Program, otherwise a nominal
charge applies.
Q. How much can I save on my income tax if I qualify?
A. With a completed form, your accountant can amend any tax years covered by
the disability and claim a disability tax credit. The disability tax credit is worth
approximately $1400 in tax savings. It can also then open the door to eligibility for
additional medical claims.
Regardless of age, hearing loss requires early identifi cation and amplifi cation
intervention.

Van driven into bar patrons
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — A Montreal man accused of
plowing a van into a crowd of nightclub pa-
trons, killing one person, remains in custody
after being denied bail.
Kesevan Muthulingam, 26, has also been
charged with two more counts since the in-
cident at the Tropix club on Liverpool Road
near Kingston Road Dec. 17.
Mr. Muthulingam and four other men
were arrested in Montreal in early February
following a lengthy investigation into the
incident.
Durham police said several men who had
been ejected from the club left in a van, but
that the vehicle returned to the club and
raced through the parking lot, striking three
people. The van was then driven off.
Hardat (Ronald) Dyall, 35, of Scarbor-
ough, died of his injuries while two other
people were seriously hurt.
Mr. Muthulingam, the alleged driver, was
originally charged with criminal negligence
causing death, two counts of criminal neg-
ligence causing bodily harm and failing to
remain at the scene of an accident. In a sub-
sequent court appearance he was charged
with additional counts of threatening death
and failing to comply with probation.
Four other Montreal men face charges
including threatening death and acting as an
accessory after the fact.
Mr. Muthulingam is scheduled to appear
in court via video March 5.

Airport authority
supports retaining
Pickering lands for
a possible airport
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — In 1972, the
federal government set aside
18,600 acres of farmland in north
Pickering for a possible airport.
Thirty-seven years later, a shovel
has yet to hit the ground.
But, just before the federal bud-
get was announced last month, ru-
mours swirled airplanes may soon
hit a runway in Pickering after Re-
gional Chairman Roger Anderson
asked that infrastructure funding
be included in the budget to begin
construction on an airport.
In an online poll on www.news-
durhamregion.com, out of 761
votes, only 15 per cent supported
the construction. This didn’t come
as a surprise to Mary Delaney, a
Brougham resident and member
of the anti-airport group Land Over
Landings. Although she wasn’t
afraid the funding would be in-
cluded since “one or two ‘glitches’
need to be worked out before this
boondoggle could ever become
‘shovel-ready’, to put it mildly,” Ms.
Delaney was slightly relieved.
“On the day of the budget I asked
my daughter when I walked in the
door, ‘Any calls?’ When there were
no calls, I knew there was no an-
nouncement,” she said.
Pickering Council remains
against an airport, and passed
a motion in January reinforcing
its position when Council heard
about Mr. Anderson’s request.
Land Over Landings maintains
its position.
“We have a responsibility that
goes beyond our own doorsteps,
a responsibility to protect these
lands for fresh air, fresh food and
fresh water for successive gen-
erations,” Ms. Delaney said. “If
we don’t do that, we have failed
them.”
In queries to Transport Canada
(TC) in regards to the decision-
making process, the government
office is still in the midst of two
studies in the process of determin-
ing if an airport in Pickering will
fly.
“No final decision will be made
before late 2009 on whether or not
there is a need for an airport and
when an airport should be built,
should the need be identified,”
said TC regional communications
adviser Tina Bouchard in an e-
mail.
TC is awaiting the results of a
needs assessment study and a due
diligence review, and will then
decide whether to conduct a fed-
eral environmental assessment.
The needs assessment study will
examine the capacities and traf-
fic volumes of all airports within
100 kilometres of downtown To-
ronto to see whether they can
accommodate future traffic, Ms.
Bouchard said. The due diligence
review looks at the aviation needs
in the Greater Golden Horseshoe,
including the need for a potential
Pickering airport.
“It is important to note that no
final decision on the building of an
airport at Pickering can be made
until a federal environmental as-
sessment process has been com-
pleted,” she said.
In an e-mail, Trish Krale, GTAA
media co-ordinator, said Toronto
Pearson International Airport is
not at capacity.
“We currently have a capacity
of 38 million passengers, with the
potential to grow to a capacity of
50 million passengers with more
development,” she said, adding
Pearson handled more than 31.5
million passengers in 2007.
Lorrie McKee, GTAA director
of public affairs and communica-
tions, gave a presentation to Dur-
ham Region last week, and said
“until Transport Canada makes a
decision, the GTAA supports re-
taining and protecting the lands in
Pickering for an airport.”
Ms. Bouchard said there were
three evictions in 2008 on the fed-
erally owned airport lands, but no
homes were demolished.
“However, Transport Canada
removed two structures for safety
reasons: a collapsed barn and a
fire-damaged commercial office
structure,” she said.

Solar projects
are a bright idea
To the editor:
Solar power is the energy of today for
the future.
We should pass a law that every new
structure have solar panels; every new
home, new office building and new
factory should be required to have
them.
Money for infrastructure should be
directed to this project.
Adding solar panels will increase the
cost of building initially but when we
have thousands of buildings produc-
ing solar energy, the cost will go down.
The savings to the hydro power will be
great, those buildings that have panels
can sell the excess energy back to the
grid, the need for new nuclear power
will be eliminated or reduced and we
will all breath cleaner air.
The need for windmills would also be
reduced or eliminated.
Once all new buildings are up and
running, we can then refit existing
buildings with solar panels. What great
job opportunities for all the laid off
auto workers.
If I were an auto worker, I would
band together with my co-workers and
start up my own company and make
solar panels.
The auto union should get in on the
ground floor and supply startup money
for the company to make solar panels.
It’s obvious that the government is not
going to do it. We the people have to
take the lead and get going.

Airport would create
long-term jobs
To the editor:
Re: ‘Airport jobs would be fleeting’, Lys
Laurence letter, Feb. 12.
I read the above letter and smiled to
myself.
Obviously the writer does not fly very
often.
There are more security staff alone
in Toronto airport than the hamlets of
Greenwood and Brougham and prob-
ably Claremont combined could sup-
ply.
When (and if) the airport is ever
built the projections are that there will
be approximately 11,000 jobs in all
aspects of work around an airport of
the envisaged size.
I live in Greenwood and have more to
win (or lose) than a Scarborough resi-
dent.
I am neither pro nor anti the airport
as there are both positive and negative
aspects to the proposal. If writers wish
to present their views on the subject
then they should try to stick to items
that withstand scrutiny.

The ugly truth
about packaging
To the editor:
The logic that consumers would like
less packaging in return for a break in
the price and a break for the environ-
ment seems sound.
The logic that it makes sense however
is naive and misses the point.
Packaging is not added to most prod-
ucts for giggles. True, what we see as
excessive packaging comes with an
additional cost which gets passed on
down to us. But it does serve a purpose.
First consumers have more confi-
dence in the quality and security of
products with a certain amount of
packaging.
Given a choice of with or without,
many things they simply refuse to buy
without it.
The other ugly truth is that extra pack-
aging is often added to discourage theft.
Particularly small and or high-value
items have what seems an outrageous
amount of packaging because it cuts
down on shoplifting. Yes stolen mer-
chandise drives up the cost as well.
The theory is that really annoying extra
garbage that you end up throwing away
actually lowers the ultimate price we
pay.
It turns out that honesty is green. Who
knew?

Plan will
hurt before
GM gets
better
Y ou might say what GM has done to
date by filing its survival plan to the
provincial and federal governments
was the easy part.
The hard part will be implementing the
company’s proposed cuts and changes.
In asking for assistance of at least $6 bil-
lion, GM wants to slash as many as 250
dealerships in Canada, shift future benefit
costs to the Canadian Auto Workers Union,
get government help to pay for existing
pension obligations and get wage and sal-
ary cuts for all employees. And this all has
to be done by March 31 in order to get the
funds it’s requested from government.
CAW national president Ken Lewenza
has stated the union wants to be part of the
solution to this financial mess and to date
the union has shown leadership through
about $900 million in concessions dur-
ing its last contract. Wages are probably
the easiest things to deal with as salaried
employees are already taking cuts so it
won’t be a big stretch for hourly workers to
do the same. It’s better than not having a
job at all.
But the benefit cost proposal will be a
tough pill to swallow for the union unless
GM can make it worthwhile for it to take on
this added responsibility.
The good news is that GM stated last
week it doesn’t plan on any further plant
closings. To date the announced closings
have already reduced its workforce to
about 7,000 from the 20,000 it employed
across Canada just five years ago. That
includes our own truck plant here in
Oshawa and the switch from two car plants
to one flexible manufacturing line that is
producing the Camaro.
That being said, slashing 250 dealerships
is going to add to the steady stream of job
losses already suffered in the manufactur-
ing industry.
Pensions are also going to be tricky to
deal with and an area where the govern-
ment can step in and do the most good.
Retired workers need protection and after
a lifetime of contributing to their pensions,
they need these maintained in order to
survive.
Make no mistake, the next few years are
going to be tough for GM, its employees
and those employees of the company’s
feeder operations. But these changes are
necessary in order for the company to sur-
vive.

Motors of Canada submitted to

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 25, 2009 PAGE 7 A/Pdurhamregion.com
DURHAM -- It’s a January morning
and 6:15 a.m. at the Oshawa GO
Station. The snow’s picking up.
Hwy. 401 heading west has already
slowed to a slushy crawl and both the vol-
ume on the road and the snow will get
worse before the morning commute is
through. But the steady stream of people
traversing the parking lot or hopping off
Durham Region Transit buses and head-
ing to the platforms have nothing to worry
about.
As the ticket agents tell enquiring pas-
sengers, the trains are running smooth-
ly and on time. They’re right. The next
three trains leave exactly as scheduled.
They each carry a portion of the 44,000
passengers that make their way along the
Lakeshore East line, which stretches from
Oshawa to Union Station, every business
day.
On the 7:11 train, Oshawa resident Pat
Kruger and Courtice resident Gerald Rod-
dau call out to each other and grab side-
by-side seats. The two have known each
other since childhood and if they happen
to be on the same train they sit together
and catch up. Both of them have been
grabbing the GO for at least a decade.
They’ll be joined by more and more
passengers as the train winds its way
through Durham. In fact, the train only
makes four stops before heading express
to Union Station: Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax
and Pickering. Everyone on board is local.
It’ll take 45 minutes for those who board-
ed in Oshawa to get to Toronto and just 26
minutes for those who get on in Pickering.
The latter group has a shorter commute,
but they’re also less likely to get a seat.
This morning, most will.
Flipping through newspapers and nov-
els, catching up on work or simply sipping
on coffee, the riders kill the time.
Mr. Roddau is a fan of Sudoku puzzles,
but today he’s willing to chat and so’s
Ms. Kruger. “We all like to curse the GO
because prices keep going up and servic-
es keep going down,” said Ms. Kruger.
But it’s better than the alternative.
“Even with all those factors, you’ve got
to consider if you’re driving downtown,
it’s the wear and tear on your car, it’s the
insurance and it’s the parking and it’s all
the stress,” said Mr. Roddau.
Drivers they know need time to decom-
press every morning from the stress and
they say the highways are getting worse
every year too.
“Definitely the GO’s better than driving,”
said Ms. Kruger.
“If it worked properly, it’d be fantastic,”
added Mr. Roddau.
In fact, many residents across the GTA
are coming to the same conclusion and
GO’s popularity continues to increase,
leading to overloaded trains during cer-
tain peak times and delays when trains
must wait to let others pass. GO Tran-
sit says it’s working on meeting demand,
including adding a third track along por-
tions of the Lakeshore East and West
lines, GO’s most popular lines. The final
portions of the third track in the west end
are to be completed by the end of 2009. As
well, GO is adding more locomotives to
meet demand. Durham is getting at least
one new train in 2009, a 5:10 p.m. express
from Union to Pickering.
Still, there are delays that drive some
passengers batty.
It was particularly bad in early January
when signals froze in -20 degree weather
and some passengers were left waiting for
more than an hour. And every passenger
has a horror story. Mr. Roddau mentions
a two-and-a-half hour delay in a previous
year.
According to GO, the 7:11 train from
Oshawa was on time 78.9 per cent of the
time between February 2008 and January
2009. GO considers a train on time if it is
within five minutes of its scheduled time.
It’s one of five morning trains from Dur-
ham that regularly carries more passen-
gers than it has seats.
Passengers who opt for the 7:46 train
can expect less reliability, that train is list-
ed as arriving on time 57.9 per cent of the
time. Mr. Roddau said his wife is proactive
about the delays and the couple makes
sure to address the issue with GO.
“Every time it’s a major delay we do get
a refund ticket of some sort,” he said.
Vouchers are generally issued at Union
Station and can be used to offset the next
month’s pass. Given that Mr. Roddau and
his wife spend about $500 per month to
get into Toronto, the couple is looking for
value. The trains with the best records
leave early in the morning, before 6 a.m.
or after rush hour during the day.
Whitby resident Lucy Ricca agrees the
worst part about taking the GO is delays
and what she says is a lack of communi-
cation about the delays. But despite the
January freeze, she says the winter hasn’t
been that bad.
“Given the weather we’ve had this year,
I’ve been pleasantly surprised,” said Ms.
Ricca, who has been riding the GO train
since 1989. She too sees GO as a better
alternative to driving.
“I’m guessing I gain a half an hour by
taking the GO train.” As to her favourite
part, she enjoys catching up on her read-
ing. Ms. Kruger also enjoys the opportuni-
ty to relax when things aren’t going well.
“At least you have downtime, especially
if you get a seat,” she said.
As the train pulls into Union Station and
passengers stream out the doors, it’s one
of those days passengers are glad to be on
the GO compared to commuters strug-
gling on the snow-filled highways.

Taking the GO on a snowy day gives many commuters the chance to catch up on reading or talk with friends.
Next month it’s your turn
Next month we’ll hear from readers who have e-mailed about their daily experi-
ences through a selection of letters. If you want to talk about what it’s like to grab the

Most City of Pickering roads have been built to handle
year-round unrestricted traffi c. However, some older
roads and gravel roads were not built to withstand
the negative impact caused by heavy truck loads
during the spring thaws and the associated rainy
season (and throughout the year under site specifi c
circumstances).
Therefore, to reduce the impact to the City roads, a
seasonal reduced load period (referred to as “reduced
load restrictions”) is put into eff ect on various City
roads. See Section 122 of the Highway Traffi c Act to
learn about reduced load weight specifi cations and
other details.
(Note: Companies, organizations and individuals, who
have Oversized/Overweight Load Permits, are also
not permitted to travel on City roads with half load
restrictions in eff ect).
Subject to weather conditions, starting March 1 to
April 30 of each year, load restrictions are in eff ect.

WORKS DEPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION NEWSLETTER #1
The Regional Municipality of Durham has completed the tendering process
to widen Taunton Rd. (Reg. Rd. 4) to four lanes from 400m west of Church
St. to 100m west of Westney Rd. N., in the Town of Ajax. The project will
include roadway reconstruction, storm sewer installations and construction
of a new bridge structure, which will be completed in two stages.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
The Region’s contractor, Kapp Contracting Limited, will mobilize their
equipment and personnel on site to commence work the week of
March 2, and are expected to complete work by June 2010.
TRAFFIC MAINTENANCE
During construction, one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained
during peak traffic hours. For the safety of both motorists and construction
workers, a reduced maximum speed limit of 60 Km/h will be in effect
through the construction zone. Traffic signs will be posted, indicating the
areas of reduced speed and increased traffic violation fines. Local area
residents and businesses should expect traffic delays, and are asked to
exercise additional caution for the safety of the construction workers.
CONSTRUCTION STAGING
Taunton Rd. will be reconstructed in two stages. During Stage one, two
lanes of traffic will be in maintained on a temporary detour roadway on the
north half of Taunton Rd. while the south half of the roadway and bridge
construction is completed. During Stage two, traffic will be transferred to the
newly constructed roadway on the south half of Taunton Rd. to allow for the
construction of the north half of the roadway and completion of the bridge.
Access to residences and businesses along Taunton Road will be
maintained during construction.
For questions, please contact one of the following staff members from the
Regional Municipality of Durham Works Department. Project information is
posted on the Regional Municipality of Durham’s Website as noted below.

Four-legged guest proves
to be popular visitor
AJAX — A local cubs and beavers troop
received a visit from a four-legged guest
recently.
Sonik, a police dog with the Toronto
Police Services, and his handler Jim Ad-
amson were at a meeting of the 4th Ajax
Cubs and Beavers at St. Paul’s United
Church on Kings Crescent on Feb. 18,
explaining the work they do.
Troop leader Dan Cameron said hav-
ing a police dog at a meeting is “some-
thing I’ve always wanted to do, getting the
kids understanding dogs.”
The eight beavers, ages five to seven,
and 13 cubs, ages 7 to 10, enjoyed hav-
ing the pair at the meeting, Mr. Cameron
said.
“They loved it. I expected it would only
be a 20-minute piece,” he said, given the
attention span of the youngsters. “It went
for 50 to 55 minutes. He had the kids just
captivated. He did an excellent job.”
Mr. Adamson spoke about the duties
the dog has, saying Sonik “isn’t there to
hurt somebody. He’s there to help some-
body,” Mr. Cameron said.
He’s a “general purpose” dog, doing
such things as searches. Sonik isn’t a
sniffer dog, looking for bombs or drugs,
Mr. Cameron said.
“He talked about how they train the
dog and he went through some drills,” Mr.
Cameron said.
When the Cubs and Beavers see a dog,
they may “be terrified. Now they under-
stand. They have a better understanding,
including myself,” Mr. Cameron said.
Questions the boys asked included
what the dog eats and where he sleeps.
One Beaver asked, “How fast does he
run?”
Other questions included “Why the
dog does this and why he does that,” Mr.
Cameron said.
Another important question was, “how
many criminals has he caught?”

Judge cites breach
of trust as accused
ordered to repay $285,500
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY — A former City of Pickering
bylaw officer was handcuffed and led off to
jail Monday, almost four years after being
charged with fraud and breach of trust.
But even as a judge prepared to sentence
him, an unapologetic Fraser Copeland hint-
ed he shouldn’t shoulder all the blame for a
taxi licensing scam that bilked prospective
cab drivers out of more than $250,000.
“I know I was put in a position of trust ...
but I was not supervised,” Mr. Copeland, 49,
told Superior Court Justice Bryan Shaugh-
nessy.
“I did as I was told to do.”
Outside court Mr. Copeland’s lawyer,
Bernie O’Brien, said the cryptic statement
doesn’t mean any other city employees
were in on the fraud.
“No other person at the City of Pickering
is implicated,” Mr. O’Brien said.
Justice Shaughnessy agreed with a joint
submission from the Crown and defence,
sentencing Mr. Copeland to a year less a
day in jail on the charge of breach of trust,
to be followed by a year of house arrest for
the fraud charges.
He’ll be on probation for two years after
his sentence is served.
Mr. Copeland has also been ordered to
repay $258,500 to five people to whom he
sold bogus taxi licences.
“The most serious aspect of this offence
is the breach of trust by Mr. Copeland,” the
judge noted.
Mr. Copeland was arrested in July of 2005
after an investigation into his activities be-
tween January 2000 and October 2003.
The probe revealed that Mr. Copeland,
a bylaw officer, had accepted payment for
taxi licences, assuring the prospective buy-
ers he acted as an agent for the licence
holders and would forward transfer fees to
the city.
But there were no licence holders and no
money was paid to the municipality, Justice
Shaughnessy said in his judgment.
A forensic audit revealed deposits made to
Mr. Copeland’s bank account that matched
the money he’d charged for the licences.
The day his trial was to start in July 2008,
Mr. Copeland pleaded not guilty to the
charges, but did not dispute a statement
of facts read into the record by prosecutor
Jinwon Kim. Justice
Shaughnessy registered findings of guilt
on the three charges.

Pickering worker jailed in taxi scam
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Through an advertising cam-
paign, Ajax wants residents to be aware of
the Growing Durham plan and the implica-
tions it could have on the community.
“We want to make sure the people of Ajax
are aware of the Growth Plan. It will have sig-
nificant implications for Ajax,” Mayor Steve
Parish said.
Possible implications include an increased
risk of converting land set aside for em-
ployment purposes for other uses, primarily
housing, and more urban sprawl, the mayor
said.
“There’s been a lack of public consulta-
tion,” he said.
“Developers have had input. But, there
hasn’t been any real outreach to the public
and I think that’s a problem.”
The Region has paid “lip service” to pub-
lic involvement, Mayor Parish said. “Action
speaks louder than words.”
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson dis-
agrees with the assessment that developers
have had more input than the public.
“That’s absolutely untrue.
“There have been lots of meetings, lots
of opportunity to provide input,” Mr. An-
derson said. “Our planners and consultants
wouldn’t put forward a plan that can’t be
justified,” Mr. Anderson said. “There are 28
members of Regional council. If the mayor
Ajax doesn’t agree with the rest of council,
that’s what democracy is all about.”
If the deficiencies aren’t dealt with prior
to the plan’s approval, they’ll be addressed
“during a lengthy OMB hearing process,”
Mayor Parish said.
The Growing Durham plan, once approved
in June, will be forwarded to the Province.
“The provincial Growth Plan is all about
planning in a new way than we did before,
to using existing developable lands more ef-
ficiently. Durham’s approach is to ignore this
new regime of planning and do planning the
way it was done in the past. That will mean
more sprawl and chewing up prime agricul-
tural land,” Mayor Parish said.
The Region is holding a public meeting
on Growing Durham on Wednesday, March
4, starting at 7 p.m. in the council chambers
of the Town hall, at the corner of Harwood
Avenue and Kings Crescent.

OPG staffers show off artistic side
By Lyra Pappin
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — Fine arts and the Pickering
nuclear power plant might not seem like a
likely pair, but in the ongoing Employee Art
Show, Ontario Power Generation workers
are proving electricity is not the only amaz-
ing thing they produce. From fine photo-
graphs to intricate acrylic paintings, the
talent on display at the OPG Information
Centre is varied in style and inspiration.
Macaulay Eteli, a civil engineering techni-
cian, is an accomplished painter with two
works featured in the exhibition. Born in
Nigeria, the Pickering resident’s unique love
story provides the backdrop for his two
paintings of the same woman. Eteli’s affec-
tion for her is obvious in both the vibrant
and warm portrait of her, ‘When Lady “B”
Smiles, as well as when he speaks about
their romantic history.
“She was my girlfriend in Nigeria back in
1978,” he explains, adding that after losing
touch when he moved to Canada, circum-
stances found them together again in 2006.
“When I saw her again, it was like time
had not lapsed... I could see that she was
the same person, had the same smile,” Eteli
says.
From that point, Eteli knew they were
meant to be together and it was not long
before he was “painting with real passion”
once again. Eteli found this woman, an art
and fashion lover herself, the perfect muse
as, “she is very fashionable and she always
looks different. She is the same inside, you
can see, but she always has a new look that I
am inspired to capture.”
The multifaceted nature of the woman is
seen in the contrasting elements between the
warm and lively ‘When Lady “B” Smiles’ and
his second portrait, the far more reflective
and sombre, ‘A Penny For Your Thoughts’,
painted in darker shades. Although distance
is still keeping them apart right now, Eteli
is optimistic. Smiling he added, “When it is
about love, the moon is too close.”
Not all the artists involved had such long-
distance sources of inspiration, as OPG ex-
ecutive assistant by day and photographer
by nature, Jacqueline La Frano, finds beauty
in local surroundings.
An Ajax resident and dog-lover who en-
joys living by the lake, La Frano started out
as a painter but soon became compelled to
move onto photography, noting, “I found
photography to be more creative, it gives me
so many options.”
Her four photos on display reveal a keen
eye for beauty found in the often-overlooked
details of nature.
“I like gardens and flowers, roses in par-
ticular. Also I’m a big fan of macro photogra-
phy,” she says of her ‘Big Red’ photo, which
shows the intricate structure of a flower at
close range.
La Frano also disclosed how viewing
the world from unusual angles lead to the
maple leaf photograph, ‘True Friends Series
#2’. She laughs, “Yes, I took that one lying on
my back!”
With such creativity and innovative ap-
proaches to art, it’s clear that energy isn’t
the only thing fuelling the OPG employees.
Now if only they can find a way to run
homes on acrylic paint....
The OPG Employee Art Show runs until
March 2 at the Pickering Nuclear Informa-
tion Centre located at 1675 Montgomery
Park Rd. (at the foot of Brock Road) in
Pickering. Admission is free and open to the
public Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m.

Ajax Attack under siege
Juniors down two to
Kingston in divisional
semifinal playoff series
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — The chips may be down
— way down — for the Ajax Attack,
but the white flag isn’t being waved
just yet.
The Attack is in a deep crater in
its Ontario Junior Hockey League
best-of-seven Ruddock Division
semifinal series with the top-seed-
ed Kingston Voyageurs, which owns
a decisive 2-0 lead in the series after
the opening weekend of play.
The Ajacians were drilled 11-1 by
the Voyageurs in the series opener
at Kingston’s INVISTA Centre on
Saturday. In Game 2 at the Ajax
Community Centre on Sunday, the
same lop-sided result befell the At-
tack, this time being blistered 9-1.
The series reconvenes for Game
3 in Kingston on Thursday, with
Game 4 back in Ajax on Saturday at
3 p.m.
Attack head coach Carey Durant
offers no excuses; the Voyageurs
have flat-out outplayed and out-
worked his squad thus far.
“I’m not here to make excuses.
Kingston has been the better team
in both games. We have to take
ownership of that. All of us col-
lectively as a team have to put out
a better effort and we have to go
there with a winning attitude,” said
Durant.
In fact, the Voyageurs have thor-
oughly dominated the Attack in the
first two games, leading 4-1 through
20 minutes in Sunday’s game and
then pouring it on for five more
goals through the second and third
periods for the easy victory.
Saturday’s series-opening con-
test in Kingston was virtually over
after the first period, with the Voya-
geurs scoring three goals in the last
five minutes of the frame. They
scored eight more times in the next
40 minutes, interrupted only by a
power-play marker by Ajax’s John
Harrington with under five minutes
to play in the second period.
Durant said the next two games,
if nothing else, will reveal the char-
acter of his players. He’s hoping
they’ll respond with a better effort.
“Now we’re going to find out how
much character and how much re-
silience they have. I think the guys
will come back and play well. We
have a tremendous amount of pride
and we’re going to keep pushing
forward,” he said.

League divisional semifinal playoff game at the Ajax Community Centre. Kingston dominated the game en route to a 9
-1 win. Game 3 of the best-of-seven series goes in Kingston on Thursday night. Game 4 is at the community centre on
Saturday at 3 p.m.
Decision expected to
be rendered this week
AJAX — The case has been
made, the words have been spo-
ken, now it’s up to a three-mem-
ber panel from OFSAA to deter-
mine the fate of the Pickering
High School Trojans senior boys’
basketball team’s season.
A delegation of principal Anne
Taylor, physical department head
Laura Williams, coach Mike Gor-
densky and team captain Jona-
thon Tull met with the Ontario
Federation of School Athletic
Associations (OFSAA) board of
reference general committee for
about an hour Friday morning.
The purpose of the meeting,
at OFSAA’s Toronto offices,
was to hear an appeal by
the school of the sanc-
tions committee decision
to ban the team from
OFSAA championships
and tournaments for one
year.
The Pickering High Trojans are
the two-time defending OFSAA
‘AAAA’ basketball champs.
Taylor said she had no sense of
whether the meeting went well
with the OFSAA officials.
“Well, it was hard to tell,” said
Taylor in an interview follow-
ing the meeting. “We pre-
sented our side and they
listened. They asked a
few questions and told us
they would get back to
us early next week.”
Letters of sup-
port from the community
were presented to the commit-
tee, as well as a petition with ap-
proximately 300 signatures of
those who felt the sanctions are
unfair and that it be rescinded by
OFSAA.
Taylor says she has assurances
the final decision will be rendered
expeditiously, as it would still
allow the Trojans to compete at
OFSAA next month, if they qualify
and if the original decision by the
sanctions committee was over-
turned.
The Trojans began Lake On-
tario Secondary School Athletics
playoff action against the Father
Leo J. Austin Wildcats on Monday
afternoon, defeating the Whitby
squad handily 84-30.
Natiel Mackenzie scored 14 for
the defending LOSSA champion
Trojans.
