The suggestion, part of a recent report by the Education Policy Institute (EPI), says drastic tuition hikes must be part of a recession survival plan to avoid dilut- ing the quality of education. It predicts increases of up to 25 per cent in the next couple of years, which is similar to what occurred during the last recession. But adding such increases to what stu- dents are already shouldering would be devastating, said Don Lovi- sa, Durham College presi- dent. “Can you imagine?” Mr. Lovisa said. Significant tuition increas- es diminish the chances of deserving people to attend, said Ronald Bordessa, pres- ident of the University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology (UOIT). “You want to improve chances to come to the uni- versity, not lower them,” Mr. Bordessa said. “So I’m absolutely opposed to mak- ing fees too high.” There are ways the university tries to mitigate student’s share of their educa- tion, providing bursaries and scholar- ships. But higher tuition costs increase demand and competition for the money, and limit the amount available. As a new university, the UOIT doesn’t have the large endowment funds of other schools yet, he added. Colleges are crown corporations and don’t have the same mecha- nisms for endowments; univer- sities are independent corpora- tions. In Ontario, tuition increases are legislated by the Province and a 25 per cent hike wouldn’t be pos- sible, Mr. Lovisa said. With all reports, there needs to be some form of sensationalism to get people to read them, Mr. Lovisa added. What this particular document does is get people discussing some of the issues facing post-secondary schools across the country, which is good, Mr. Lovisa said. A lot of the report isn’t applicable to colleges, but it is correct about the reduc- tion of apprenticeship opportunities. There aren’t as many positions available because of the job cuts at places such as General Motors, where mechanics and electricians would be employed. Colleges are in discussions with the government right now on how to address these issues, perhaps by offering more simulation work to provide them with apprenticeship hours. In response to the report’s suggestion of the system being diluted without the increases, it’s always a balancing act, Mr. Bordessa said. “I don’t think I would say if you don’t have a 25 per cent infusion from that source, the quality will go down,” Mr. Bordessa said. The problem in this economy is they know the grants they’ll be getting this year are flat-lining, but there is still infla- tion, causing pressure to deliver more with less, Mr. Bordessa said. “We’re going to have to eat all the infla- tion,” Mr. Bordessa said. They might be able to absorb some of it without impacting quality, but eventu- ally, resources need to increase, he said. Salaries are the biggest cost to both Durham College and UOIT. At Durham College, teaching and sup- port staff are unionized and negotiate collective agreements. While wages have increased about 3.5 per cent a year over the last few years, grants have only gone up about 1.5 per cent, Mr. Lovisa said. The UOIT isn’t unionized, but has to keep salaries competitive with what other universities are offering, Mr. Bord- essa said. T he school has a hiring freeze on because it’s not sure how hard it will be hit, he said. Durham College, which is running a deficit, is also cutting back. It’s looking right across the system to cut costs such as staffing, class sizes, travel, and professional development. But the government needs to invest more too, Mr. Lovisa said. Ontario’s college grants are the lowest in the country, Mr. Lovisa said. WE ASKED Tuition fees at Durham College and UOIT are going up in excess of 4 % for all programs next year. What do you think this will do in a community facing an 8.2 % unemployment rate? (from left) ROBIN JAGGASSAR -- ‘I don’t think it is good, it will make it harder for people to take courses and we should be making it easi- er.’ GLENN DENNIS -- ‘It’s a catch 22 thing, the university needs money to continue to be competitive and yet it has to be afford- able.’ DOUG BRAY --‘I think the biggest problem is that student loans are too hard to come by if the parents’ income is too large and the kids live at home’ MARGARET FREDERICK --‘I think college or university education should be free as long as the student maintains good marks.’ DON LOVISA T H E OF POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION “ We’re going to have to eat all the inflation. Ronald Bordessa, president, University of Ontario Institute of Technology “ Region, like all consumers, would be taxed for gas, hydro DURHAM -- The Region doesn’t want any jobs lost due to the har- monization of federal and provin- cial sales taxes. Durham Regional councillors approved sending a letter to the Province requesting any job loss- es caused by harmonization be replaced by other jobs. The recent provincial budget included rolling the provincial sales tax (PST) and the federal GST together, into a harmonized sales tax (HST). The issue came up at the Region- al council meeting on Wednesday, when councillors dealt with a staff report on how the provincial bud- get could affect Durham. The staff report noted it’s pos- sible budget measures could cost the Region millions of dollars. Municipalities would have to pay the PST on items that were previ- ously exempt, such as gas, fuels and electricity. Those energy costs will cost the Region about $4.1 mil- lion a year. The actual amount Durham would have to pay would dif- fer, under a rebate program to be offered with the HST. The staff report noted the har- monized tax would be adminis- tered by the federal government. That could affect provincial minis- try of revenue employees working in Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering who deal with the PST. The federal government has said it would try to retain jobs in Ontar- io to help administer the tax. The HST starts on July, 1, 2010. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 8, 20093 AP www.chartwellreit.ca 1801 Valley Farm Road, Pickering 905-420-3369 The Retirement Option Of Choice Move into one of our one or two bedroom suites and receive one month’s FREE rent and $1000 towards moving expenses!* Call 905-420-3369 and book your tour today! *Some conditions apply.

At council’s last executive com- mittee meeting, members heard plans to construct a large sign featuring video outside of a pop- ular Pickering shopping cen- tre along Brock Road. As part of rebranding efforts in changing its name from the Pickering Home and Design Centre to Shops at Pickering Ridge, the owner applied to the City to construct three 10.6-metre signs fronting Hwy. 401, Pickering Parkway and Brock Road, with video at the lat- ter location. The committee expressed con- cern it would distract drivers, and by the time the application reached council, the applicant changed the proposal to drop the video component of the sign. Another sign will go on the roof of the former Papp’s restaurant, which is under new ownership.

All content copyright Editorial Opinions POLITICS Blame for trouble rests with opposition parties To the editor: Re: We need leadership from the top, Thomas O’Brien letter, March 26. Thomas O’Brien is obviously very mistaken with his claim that Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament twice. The PM had no choice since the three stooges of Canadian politics wanted to claim leadership when it was obvious that none of the three had any leadership skills. It’s obvious which side Mr. O’Brien is on. If anyone is treating our democratic institu- tions like a political football, it is the NDP and the Liberals, two parties that will not stop at anything to gain power. Imagine the mess we would be in if Stephane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe were leading the coun- try now. Mr. Dion would be mumbling along with Mr. Layton pulling the strings in an attempt to socialize all aspects of Canadian society and Mr. Duceppe doing his utmost to destroy the country. Wilfred Camilleri Ajax EDUCATION Don’t change UOIT name before seeing what it can do To the editor: Re: Name game will provide school solution, James McGillawee, letter, March 27. I don’t understand the need for changing the name of the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology within a few short years of the university being established. I agree with James McGillawee that if anyone needs to change a name, it would have been MIT. Over these many years, MIT is still Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology. To the point, we can change the name as much as we want, but it is the quality that matters. No matter how many times we change the name, if the quality is not there, there is no use for the changes. I went to Queensland University of Tech- nology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia. It was established as Queensland Institute of Tech- nology in 1965. It was not until 1989 that it was approved to become Queensland Uni- versity of Technology. And in 1993, it was awarded Australian University of the Year. My dean mentioned on several occa- sions that for every one overseas student they brought in, it opens up two more seats for Australian students. So if UOIT wants to make itself a name to be recognized, why not run a business model where it becomes self- sustainable by recruiting overseas students and charge them a high tuition price? They will pay any price to attend a university/insti- tute that is reputable. My parents paid close to AU$6,000 in tuition fees alone and the last time I checked, QUT now charges overseas students more than AU$10,000 per semester. Let’s establish what UOIT can do and achieve, before we start thinking about changing the name. Tek Ang ENVIRONMENT Other problems will arise from pesticide ban To the editor: The Canadian Government does not believe that if cosmetic pesticides are used properly, they will be a danger to one’s health or put little children at higher risk for cancer. There is no data that indicates there is a rise in children’s cancer due to the use of selective herbicides. This is just another example of the Liber- al program for making the public feel good about themselves in the environmental movement. The bigger problem from not using weed control chemicals will be the increased incidence of allergies and asth- ma attacks. These are proven facts, yet dealing with obvious facts has not been a Liberal strong suit. Alex Fabricius Get all the facts before heading to that tanning bed A nice deep tan in the middle of winter -- it’s something you’re not going to get unless you take that proverbial trip to a southern getaway -- or hit a nearby tan- ning bed. The cheaper alternative is of course the latter choice and it’s one the younger set has been relying on in greater numbers in recent years. The urge to look healthy and tanned year-round is a chic Hollywood staple and it’s irresistible to many in the teen set who want to be fashionable. But, according to the Canadian Can- cer Society, that desire to be bronzed and golden when it’s snowy and chilly outside can have long-term devastating effects. Stephanie Murray, senior co-ordina- tor of public issues and public affairs at the Canadian Cancer Society, says ultra violet rays are a human carcinogen and exposure to them before the age of 18 can increase the risk of skin cancer ear- lier and later in life. And Elaine Williams, a Durham Region Health Nurse, said skin cancer is the sec- ond most common cancer in those aged 15 to 34. She adds those teens who go to a tanning bed twice a week or more have a 65 per cent increased chance of getting skin cancer. On the surface, those are pretty omi- nous numbers and give weight to the society’s desire to have the Province ban the use of tanning beds by anyone under the age of 18. But a tanning association is not taking the society’s challenge lying down. Joint Canadian Tanning Associa- tion director Harry Jones takes issue with the society’s figures. He claims a little bit of tanning bed exposure can help prevent sunburn, which he says is the real danger, and adds those with very fair skin -- Skin Type I - - as they’re known -- are not allowed to use tanning beds. Ultimately, both sides in this issue have valid points to make. And the decision of whether or not to use tanning beds for those who are 16 or 17 has to come down to common sense and knowing any health risks that might be involved. There should be a wealth of information out there accessible to anyone who wants to access it. For those under 16, informed parental consent is a must. And there is also an onus on the opera- tors of tanning salons who have a respon- sibility to make sure young people are using their services in moderation. Which is what it comes down to in the end -- moderation and education.

Pickering Fire Services respond- ed to the call at 2710 Brock Road, just south of Taunton Road, at 2 p.m. on Sunday. “It was an old historical farm- house on the west side of Brock Road,” said Deputy Chief Gord Fer- guson. The house is owned by the City. With help from neighbouring Ajax firefighters, crews were on scene until 6 p.m. Deputy Chief Ferguson said the fire department had to rely on tankers to fight the fire since there are no hydrants in the area. The main building, a stone farmhouse thought to be about 150 years old, was saved, though a more recent attachment burned down. “It was vacant at the time,” said Deputy Chief Ferguson. “We’re putting an overall damage estimate on it of $200,000, but that will be adjusted once we get into it and find out what happened.” There was extensive smoke dam- age in the main building. He’s not drawing any links between this fire and another one in an abandoned house near Clare- mont in late March. “I guess the only commonality between the two is they were both vacant,” said the deputy chief. AJ GROEN / METROLAND PICKERING -- Pickering firefighters battle a fire in an old farm house on Brock Road a kilometre south of Taunton Road. The abandoned farm house was slated for demolition. FIRE KRISTEN CALIS / METROLAND Golly, maids PICKERING -- Mayor Dave Ryan and Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson were among the councillors and staff who recently volunteered their clean- ing expertise around Pickering City Hall to raise funds for the United Way.

A joint investigation by Durham and Ottawa police has resulted in numerous charges, including sex- ual assault and making and distrib- uting child pornography, against an Ottawa man. “We’re encouraging anyone who’s had contact with this person or the website to contact us,” Dur- ham Detective Randy Norton said Tuesday. So far 18 alleged victims -- three of them from Durham -- have been identified. Allegations against the Ottawa man highlight a trou- bling and growing trend among young Internet users who might be exploited by predators, Det. Norton said. Police allege the sus- pect coerced females between the ages of 14 and 21 to perform acts in front of webcams; the images are alleged to have been reproduced on a website titled Talen’s Play- ground, police said. Ryan Earl McCann, 19, of Otta- wa was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday on charges of sexu- al assault, extortion, fraud, uttering threats, making and distributing child pornography and invitation to sexual touching. Durham police continue their investigation. Anyone with infor- mation is encouraged to call Det. Norton at 905-579-1520, extension 5363 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 8, 200911 GAP KIDS |LA SENZA GIRL |OKAÏDI |PLEASE MUM |ROOTS BABY |H&M |SPORT CHEK Monday to Friday 9:30am to 9pm, Saturday 9:30am to 6pm and Sunday 11am to 6pm • North of Hwy 401, intersection of Stevenson Road and Hwy 2 • 905.728.6231 • oshawacentre.com April 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 10am to 6pm Come join the fun on the Bunny Hop Trail in Centre Court.

APEgg- citement for the Pickering Easter Parade PICKERING -- The Pickering Easter Parade marches into town on April 11. Sponsored by the Royal Cana- dian Legion and Ladies Auxilia- ry Branch 606, it will start at Mil- lennium Square at the south end of Liverpool Road and continue north along Liverpool before heading west on Annland Street and on to Krosno Boulevard, ending at the Legion, 1555 Bayly Street. There will be an eggstrava- ganza hunt, egg colouring and a chance to meet the Easter Bunny. All are invited to register and decorate a wagon, bike, or stroller. The egg-citement begins on Saturday, April 11 starting at 10 a.m. For more information call the Legion at 905-839-2990 or visit www.cityofpickering.com. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • April 8, 200917 AP 905-831-5400www.pickeringhonda.com • CORRECTIONNOTICECORRECTION NOTICE The Pickering Honda ad appearing on the back page of today’s Durham Wheels section should read: Civic Lease From /APR $178 @ 1.9% Accord Lease From/APR $278 @ 2.9% www.whitbygirlssoftball.com Iroquois Park 9-12 noon McKinney Arena 11-2 p.m. SATURDAY APR. 11 ON-LINE REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE Whitby Girls Softball 2009 Registration Scarborough resident Rosanne Sutanto is a fi sh and chip connoisseur. She has been to them all - from Duckworth’s to Chippy’s, the darling new boite of the Queen Street West crowd. So when she recommended Port Union Fish and Chips, it drew my attention. Port Union Fish and Chips is comfortable and is certainly geared toward family dining. Artwork designed by budding little Picassos is mounted on the sea blue walls among fi sh paraphernalia. Combo platters are worth a look. A shrimp trio ($13.99) features lemon, Cajun and popcorn shrimp. A captain’s plat- ter ($10.49) serves up fi sh, popcorn shrimp and clam strips. I went for the basics - a piece of halibut and fries ($9.49). What a treat! The fi sh was among the best I have sampled. The fi sh was the star, and the batter was as thin as paper. Snowy white and dewy, the halibut was a beautiful specimen. Fries were homemade and absolutely delicious. The chef fries at proper temperatures with clean oil, so there is not a trace of grease on the plate. A bonus, I also received a small cup of crisp, creamy cole- slaw. We also tried the fried scallops ($8.99), which were as fresh as the fi sh with the deep sea sweetness unique to this bivalve. Specials here offer excellent value. All-you-can-eat fi sh and chips on Tuesday are only $8.99. For lunch, have fi sh and chips for $5.99, and add a cup of soup for $1.99. Seniors can have the same for just $3.99, and that includes coffee or tea and coleslaw. Those counting calories can have their selections grilled or pan-fried. Sutanto has done the research, so now we can all reap the benefi ts. Port Union Fish and Chips is located at 65 Rylander Blvd. (Abby Lanes Plaza, Hwy. 2 and Rylander). The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Call 416-283-3474.
