Pickering Markets may flea south Developer starts process of new home for hundreds of vendors BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING — An empty lot at the corner of Squires Beach Road and Bayly Street could soon become the new home to the Pickering Markets. “A deal has not been formalized yet, but the City has received a development application from the owners of a property at Squires Beach and Bayly in which the uses include housing the Pickering Mar- kets,” said Ron Taylor, Pickering’s economic devel- opment officer. Canada’s largest flea and antique market, home to more than 700 flea and 100 antique booths run by more than 250 vendors, the Pickering Markets is now housed at the Metro East Trade Centre at Brock Road and Hwy. 401. The centre’s current owners, First Simcha Shop- ping Centres Limited, however, wants to tear down the existing structures and replace them with ‘big box’-type retail shops, restaurants and a grocery store. First Simcha’s application to rezone the proper- ty comes before Pickering council July 29. Now, a local industrial property owner has stepped up to the plate with a tentative deal to build the new home. Frank Spain, executive vice-president of Invar building corporation, confirmed Wednesday his company has begun the development application process to construct a building on its property at the corner of Squires and Bayly. Among the permitted uses is a flea market, but he said that doesn’t guar- antee anything. “We would be willing to be the new home to the Pickering Markets if they can work out some kind Swarming sends teen to hospital Arrest made in earlier street robbery BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM — A dozen young “hoodlums” punched, kicked and stomped on the head of a 15-year- old boy in the latest unprovoked swarming in Ajax and Pickering. Tuesday’s attack was another in a spate of street robberies or swarmings that have police wor- ried about rising youth violence. “It’s a gang mentality, the pack mentality that really concerns me because somebody’s going to get seriously hurt at some point,” said Detective Sergeant Peter Nau- mienko, in charge of 19 Division’s criminal investigations branch. “Pretty close” to one street rob- bery or attack is occurring per day, he said, attributing the violence to See TEEN page 4 PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Band of No longer brothers by the book SPORTS/33 FEATURE/8 PRESSRUN 51,100 40 PAGES FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2002 OPTIONAL DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND ® Y.D.

Richard Schewe, 31, and Mikaela, two, died May 7, 2001 when the pick- up truck they were in collided with a westbound train. At the time of the collision, Mr. Schewe was talking on a cellphone. The accident happened at a level crossing on Brock Road, just south of Taunton Road. The inquest was called by Dr. William Lucas, regional supervising coroner for Central Ontario. The inquest starts Monday, Sept. 9 at 9:30 a.m. at the provincial court- house in Whitby, 605 Rossland Rd. E. Dr. James Edwards will preside and Ken Polley of the Durham Crown at- torney’s office will act as counsel to the coroner. The inquest will review the events surrounding the deaths and may result in recommendations aimed at prevent- ing similar situations. At the time of the incident, Durham Regional Police attributed the accident to driver inattention. Witnesses report- ed the warning lights were flashing and the gates down prior to the acci- dent.Please recycle theNews Advertiser “just regular hoodlums” rather than gangs. At 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, two 15- year-olds were confronted by 12 youths on the bas- ketball court at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, on Whites Road. Police said one of the teenaged boys was chal- lenged to a one- on-one fight. Dur- ing the fisticuffs, the rest of the group swarmed the second teen. The victim was punched to the ground, kicked and stomped on the head repeatedly by his assailants. Two were brandishing a pipe and piece of wood. During the beating the group identified itself as the ‘Scarborough Crew,’ but scat- tered when school custodians inter- vened. As they fled, one of the youths threatened to return with his “burner”, gang slang for gun, po- lice said. The victim suf- fered bruises and superficial wounds to the face, head, chest and arms, as well as a foot im- print on his head. He was treated at Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing hospital and re- leased. The suspects were described as South Asian, all in their teens and wearing brown Timberland boots. The investiga- tion continues and arrests are expect- ed, Det. Sgt. Nau- mienko said. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday and charged with as- sault in connection with the swarm- ing-robbery of a teen Monday in Ajax. Police said as many as 50 by- standers watched as the victim was beaten and robbed by 10 to 15 ban- dana-wearing thugs in broad daylight. The victim, 17, was riding his mountain bike when he was con- fronted near Fishlock Drive and Harwood Avenue just after 2 p.m., police said. Someone yelled, “Let’s get him,” at which time he was punched to the ground and kicked repeatedly. The thugs took $5 from his wal- let, a piece of jewelry, his baseball cap, one running shoe and his bicy- cle. The teen suffered minor injuries. More arrests also are anticipated in that attack. Anyone with information on these incidents can call police at 905-683-9100.

Jan Brigé, 65, of Pickering, known on the circuit and to friends as ‘Poppa Smurf’succumbed to “complications of injury due to the accident” at Sunny- brook hospital July 17 according to the coroner in charge of the investigation. All accidental deaths are investigated, explains the coroner, Dr. David Evans. Durham Regional Police are also inves- tigating, said Constable John Payne, Thursday. Although the stock car accident hap- pened Saturday at 4:30 p.m., Const. Payne said yesterday the investigation was just getting under way. “The traffic management is on scene now,” he said, noting the investigation didn’t start until after Mr. Brigé died. “We just got word this morning. At the time, there was no indication there may be a fatality,” he said. In fact, one of the men who pulled Mr. Brigé out of the car, Mikey Lattrulo, said his friend actually walked to the ambulance after he was removed from the vehicle. “It happened during practice. Jan was trying to restart his car. He was trying to fire it up when another race car hit him,” he relates. “Two or three seconds later it exploded.” Mr. Lattrulo believes a fuel cell was ignited causing the explosion, which was “like something out of a movie.” Seeing the intensity of the flames, Mr. Lattrulo “debated whether to stay or go” help Mr. Brigé but says, “I thought, ‘He’s in there, I have to go. I’m going to get him out’.” Another race car driver, Doug Wills was first to the scene. “Dougie jumped out of his car and began dragging him out and I helped him get him out the rest of the way. He couldn’t have got him all the way out be- cause his (Mr. Wills’s) face was all singed.” As the two men pulled Mr. Brigé out, another driver hosed the three down with the extinguisher. “He hosed us all, otherwise we would have melted. I have no eyebrows and no eyelashes left and no forearm hair and I had a fire suit on,” says Mr. Lattrulo. Mr. Wills was treated for minor burns and Mr. Lattrulo and the driver who operated the extin- guisher were treated for smoke inhalation. “All of us are deeply saddened at his passing,” said Myles Brandt, general manager of Mo- sport. “Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends.” This Saturday is fan-apprecia- tion week at the track where those attending the weekly race get a chance to get an autograph from the drivers. A memorial to Mr. Brigé is being organized by the drivers as part of the event, says Mr. Lattrulo. “He’s been around here, easy, five years, and a lot of people know him.” The event begins at 6 p.m. Mikey Lattrulo is using his race car to pay tribute to his friend Jan ‘Poppa Smurf’ Brigé, a Pickering resident, who died from injuries he sustained in an accident last week- end at Mosport racetrack. Check the water before taking a dip DURHAM –– Not all beaches are completely safe to swim in this weekend. Water test completed by the Ontario Ministry of Health lab in Peterborough during the week of July 15 have left some beaches in the region posted. Those visiting Rotary Park in Ajax, Beaverton South Beach in Brock, and Kinsmen Beach in Scugog are cautioned to avoid swimming. The Durham Region Health Department con- ducts water tests at designated public beaches in the area on a weekly basis. P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 19, 2002 Give voters a say on region projects To the editor: I hope all Durham taxpayers are in line for the same increases in pay, or business, as the amount Pickering councillors have given themselves, because we are going to need every penny. Why should Durham council, which complained bitterly about former premier Mike Harris’s downloading, now be doing its own downloading? Why should we be asked to pay for Hwy. 401 interchanges costing millions of tax dollars? Why should we be contributing to a cancer centre that is obviously needed, and to a new university? The items are the responsibility of the federal and provincial governments. If indi- viduals wish to contribute to the cancer unit or the university they can, and maybe obtain a charitable donation slip for their income tax return. There is no way that any of the above should come from property taxes in Durham. The above items are not the re- sponsibility of the Region or its taxpayers. The regional responsibilities are clearly out- lined, and council should stay within the mandate its has been given. If one looks, as I have, at the highways and interchanges to the west of Toronto, we look like poor ne- glected cousins. Certainly we need highway improvements in this region, but I don’t think anyone has told the Province that. Can anyone imagine a problem at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station re- quiring evacuation around 3 to 5 p.m. any day of the week? You would not get to Church Street in Ajax. If we cannot get this roadwork done while we have ministers in the present gov- ernment, I think we need a change, at the provincial and regional levels. Why not put questions on election bal- lots and give people a say before council starts doling out our money?

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 19, 2002 If you live in an expensive house and pay higher taxes, should your vote count more than someone who lives in an apartment? Do rural residents deserve more representatives because they have more land? After hours of debate last week over how a regional chairman should be elected, that decision remains with council, not the public. But as if that question isn’t contentious enough, councillors decided to include a feisty side debate on whether members of council should be given a weighted vote on the matter, based on how much money their municipality con- tributes to regional coffers. In the end, they decided to chuck that idea too, going back to the stan- dard one vote per councillor. Unfortu- nately, at the moment, not everyone in Durham is being represented equally. Comprised of 28 representatives from the eight municipalities, Durham councillors oversee our regional roads, water and sewer, ambulance, police, health and social service pro- grams to name just a few. Just under 50 per cent of our property tax bill is spent in these chambers. But the composition of council is unbalanced based on the population and assessment each municipality brings to the table. The northern mu- nicipalities of Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog are all over-represented while others, including Clarington and Pick- ering, are currently under-represented. Clarington Mayor John Mutton and Pickering Councillor Mark Hol- land have been vocal lobbyists to have the vote for regional chairman weight- ed by assessment or population. “If you’re not going to have a chairman elected at large by the pub- lic at least have the councillors that represent the majority of Durham res- idents elect the chairman,” says Mayor Mutton. “It would add a bit more credibility to the process and a bit more democracy.” Scugog Councillor Ken Carruthers argued votes based on assessment are undemocratic. “Does a person with a $500,000 home get three votes instead of one for a person with a $200,000 home?” he asked. Coun. Carruthers is right. Rich people shouldn’t have more say than their less wealthy neighbours (al- though that is how it seems to work elsewhere in life). But neither should those who happen to live on 100 acres instead of in an apartment. The inequity of representation based on population that exists on re- gional council needs to be addressed, openly, fairly and soon. Council should skip the anticipated fall retreat to dance around this issue yet again. Just make it happen. Growing municipalities deserve to be fairly represented, not based on how rich they are, but based on how many people live in them. That is Canadian democracy. That is fair. And it’s just that simple. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com So, how much is your vote worth? There’s plenty to fret about with the latest national census fig- ures, revealed with a big media splash across the country this week. Much of the data offers little in the way of surprises. Demog- raphers have been talking for years about our aging population noting the Baby Boomers — those born between the late 1940s to early 1960s and comprising the largest single age bracket — are tottering toward seniorhood. What the census clearly shows is a frightening scenario: while the elderly continue to expand and live longer, not enough babies are being born to replace them. That means fewer workers in fu- ture to provide tax revenue to help support more seniors. That’s the bad news and it’s a problem faced by all western na- tions. The good news in Durham is that, outside of Alberta, we have the youngest population in Canada. With a median age of 35.9, almost two years below the Cana- dian average of 37.6, Durham’s growth is spurred on by young working couples, eager to buy a home and raise a family. This de- mographic buys many of the homes sold in subdivisions springing up in urban Durham. What does it all mean? For the Region as a whole, it requires planning with an aim to providing the services and employment opportunities that make Durham attractive and that keep twenty- and thirty-somethings here. Along with the necessary increase in school construction, Durham must provide the parks, pools, ice-pads and recreation centres to keep the region attractive for children and their parents. But there’s more. Exhibit No. 1 in Durham’s new look has to be the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, which works on a number of lev- els. The post-secondary school will keep many young Durham high school grads studying close to home; it will employ working- age region residents and will attract businesses to the Region. Exhibit No. 2 for the Region could be the attraction of ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The deci- sion on where to locate the high-tech project, either in Clarington or in competing sites in Spain, France or Japan, is expected by early next year. Should Durham win, ITER will provide a huge number of construction jobs followed by world-class scientific and technical positions. And, like UOIT, it will draw businesses to the Region. As Durham grows, accommodating the needs of youth and keeping them here will be a challenge. More young people also means an increased need for police services to contain the in- evitable bad apples and an aging population will require seniors’ homes and expanded health services. The challenges will be immense but Durham has an advantage on most of the rest of the country. For that we can be thankful.

We’re looking into every op- tion and ideally we want a win-win for everybody,” he said. “We’re glad the markets will stay in Pickering; it’ll just move from the north to the south.” Vendors looking for assurances VENDORS from page 1 Specialty police services to use TASERS on stun DURHAM ––Specialty police services in Ontario will now have another tool to help officers stop criminals in their tracks - the TASER Less-Lethal System. TASER is an acronym for Thomas A. Swift Electrical Rifle, a device which uses an electrical cur- rent to temporarily overpower the body’s normal electrical system, causing temporary loss of muscle control, according to the Ministry of Public Safety and Security. Medical experts say it does not cause perma- nent damage. “The TASER system has proven effective and is especially useful when police officers are involved in situations that could lead to having to use their firearms,” said Bob Runciman, Minister of Public Safe- ty and Security in a statement. “The TASER system offers safety bene- fits to both police and suspects dur- ing apprehension.” Ottawa and Toronto police ser- vices conducted TASER pilot pro- jects in 2000 with positive results, said the ministry, which led to rec- ommendations for the device to be put into use. For now, the TASER guns will only be used by police containment, tactical and hostage rescue teams. Durham police Sergeant Paul Wassill, of the Tactical Support Unit and Nuclear Site Response Team, welcomed the new weapon to the police arsenal. Sgt. Wassill said the stun guns give police another choice that isn’t lethal and noted they have proven successful, especially in resolving incidents involving emotionally dis- turbed persons. “We’re very pleased, there are no negatives. It’s a non-injurious weapon and the more less-lethal op- tions available the better,” said the use-of-force instructor. He said Durham police are in the process of arranging to host an in- struction program to train tactical officers around the GTA in the use of TASERS. A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 19, 2002 BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM –Walk through a li- brary on any given day and you’ll find people like Joan Halman, sink- ing into a plush couch and flipping through the latest copy of ‘In Britain’magazine. A member of Scugog Memorial Public Library for the past 14 years, Mrs. Halman and her husband make at least two to three trips a week. Today, she has a half hour to spare and just popped in for a light read by a set of large lakeside windows. “I’ve always loved reading,” the senior says. “Reading has gotten me through some tough times in my life.” Across the room, Anastacia Cal- nan, 24, logs on to her email account at one of the library’s six Internet workstations. Having recently moved here with her fiancé, Ms. Calnan isn’t hooked up at home yet and drops in a few times each week to keep up with friends and family in Cobourg. Both women are prime examples of the way libraries have evolved over the last decade. If you haven’t checked out your local library in a while, you’ll be surprised to find CDs, DVDs, and books on tape lining the shelves. Most have their own Web sites too. In fact, anyone with Internet ac- cess can now search most library catalogues in Durham. They can hold materials, renew them, check their card information and even ask quick reference questions from their own homes. So far, Uxbridge Public Library is the only library in the re- gion still working towards offering those services, but that kind of au- tomation will soon be on its way. Rather than turning away from technology, libraries are embracing it. They say traditional users like Mrs. Halman will never be eclipsed by the conveniences of the Informa- tion Age. Cuddling up with a good computer just doesn’t cut it. “People use electronic sources in a certain way,” says Wendy Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Oshawa Public Library. “People still want the ability to browse through the shelves or sit down with a maga- zine.” If anything, the Information Highway has provided a wealth of new opportunities to local libraries. As managers of information, librari- ans say it’s only natural they be the navigators for the new technology. In a way, it makes their role in soci- ety even more important. “As far as I’m concerned, the In- ternet is a gold mine (for us). There’s so much wrong information out there on it. It’s like job security for the next 100 years,” says Tom Bonanno, Chief Executive Officer of Scugog Public Library. Since the vast majority of people don’t know how to search on the In- ternet, they usually end up going to librarians anyway, says Uxbridge chief librarian Stephen Whelan. Li- braries can focus a specific search and offer specialized data bases not necessarily accessible through your PC at home. And let’s face it, most of us are busy and don’t have a lot of time to spend hours on the World Wide Web, says Mr. Whelan. Automation doesn’t seem to be hurting the library industry. Most li- braries in Durham report their circu- lation and number of members have remained steady over the last few years. In fact, a snapshot around the re- gion shows a number of libraries planning new central buildings. Bowmanville expects the construction of its new 24,000 square-foot facili- ty as part of Clarington’s municipal headquarters on Temperance Street to be complete by the end of the year. It replaces the current 5,000 square-foot main library built in 1965 and will include comput- er common areas. Ajax Public Library is planning to have double the amount of space when its $8.5 million new central library opens this fall at the same site as its current 37-year-old main facili- ty on Harwood Avenue. New features include more Internet workstations, meeting rooms and a multilingual section. Public libraries in Scu- gog and Oshawa say they, too, are considering expan- sions in the near future. Mr. Bonanno says another 5,000 square-feet would allow for a new children’s wing at Scugog Public Li- brary. Oshawa Public Library is contemplating a branch to ser- vice the northeast quarter of the city, says Ms. Brown. The most ambitious pro- ject on tap and perhaps most indicative of the way li- braries are heading, is the $15 million new central public library planned for Dundas and King streets in Whitby. Construction on the 45,000 square-foot building should begin next spring and will in- clude a civic square as part of an overall down- town redevelopment. Like Ajax and Bow- manville, the project brings Whitby Public li- brary not only up-to-date but up to speed with its skyrocketing population. The current building was never actually built like a library, but was once the Town’s municipal head- quarters before it moved in 1970. “Libraries traditional- ly have been a place in which you don’t talk. They are very rules orien- tated. You don’t do this and you don’t do that at them,” says Chief Execu- tive Officer Ian Ross. “But the library I envision is not going to be that.” Mr. Ross says the new Whitby building will be high tech, offering an electronic research training cen- tre as well as self-serve checkouts. Bar-coded material will allow pa- trons to check out their own materi- al if they wish. Staff will be able to take a complete inventory of the shelves by using a wand, much like the system used at grocery stores today. But at the same time, the CEO wants to create a comfortable at- mosphere, where people will natu- rally want to come and enjoy. Some areas of the li- brary will be lively to inspire young families and teens, but there will also be quiet areas for deep thinkers. A contem- porary café is also being considered for the project, which is currently in its preliminary design stage. In short, librarians don’t feel threatened at all by the onslaught of the Information Age. They relish it. Libraries do fail, however, when they no longer adapt to the changing needs of the public. As Mr. Bonanno puts it, there are two types of librar- ians - those who think they know what the public is reading, and those who actually do. “It’s not a private collection,” he says. “It’s not rocket science either. I usually pick up two newspapers a day or have a look at the Internet. We also take regular requests from our patrons.” But typically, programs are con- stantly being introduced at libraries to inspire more participation from the public. After all, that’s who funds the industry, points out Cyn- thia Mearns, Chief Executive Offi- cer of Pickering Public Library. Ontario statistics show library use is high among young children, drops off among teens, but then starts to climb as those young adults begin families. Seniors are also big users. Subsequently, you’ll find a lot of preschool programs and senior book chats are offered at your local library. Recently, most libraries in Durham have started to add teen and young adult sections to their collec- tions. Pickering even carries a sec- tion of non-fiction ‘e’ books with quick ‘how-to’ facts for those too busy to make it physically to the library but wanting information. Libraries – not by the book anymore A.J.

Flaherty woos investors Whitby-Ajax MPP in England drumming up business BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer DURHAM ––A local MPP has gone abroad to sell Ontario. Travel was expected to be a significant part of Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty’s new cabinet post as Minister of Enterprise, Opportunity and Innova- tion. The former finance min- ister and man who wanted to be premier is in England this week to encourage trade and investment in the province. He’s on a mission to at- tract foreign investors, which account for half of Ontario’s major industries. Seventy-five per cent of all manufactured exports are directly linked to foreign investment, according to the Province. Mr. Flaherty’s itinerary included a dinner Sunday for Ontario aerospace rep- resentatives in London. On Monday, he attended the Farnborough Air Show, a priority on his travel agen- da. He returns to Canada next week. Mr. Flaherty, who had been finance minister, was given the cabinet post in April when Ernie Eves was sworn in as the new pre- mier. His job also includes ex- panding small business and training young people for future jobs and generating growth in the pharmaceuti- cal and biotechnology in- dustries. “I’m a minister of the future growth of the province,” he said in an in- terview following the an- nouncement. “Innovation is con- tributing to a better quality of life and a higher stan- dard of living for everyone in Ontario, and in many cases, the world.” NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, July 19,2002 PAGE 11 A/P Shop the Villages of Abbey Lane 401 West to Kingston Rd.

He’ll receive $1,500 for placing first provincially and $100 for a first-place regional finish. He was one of four re- gional winners. “I entered the competition to test my knowledge,” he said. “I was very sur- prised when I learned that I was the top in the province.” After a summer studying French in Trois-Rivieres, he’ll head to Queen’s University for a bachelor of commerce degree and an eventual career in corpo- rate finance and/or accounting. Second-place regional winners were Kip Linton, of Ajax High School and Christopher Bateman, of Bowmanville High School. Christopher Van Abbema, of Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, was a third-place regional winner.

A senior detective confirmed OPP are probing a possible link between the unidentified remains and the case of missing teen Michelle Robichaud. Police were searching the Hwy. 35 property in Cameron on June 24 for ev- idence in connection with an earlier homicide case when a cadaver dog dis- covered the skeletal remains under a thin layer of hay in a barn loft. The search was part of an ongoing investigation in the beating death of Kent Knights, 35, whose body was found in Haliburton County last Decem- ber. Cousins John Robertson, 38, and Ryan Robertson, 21, residents of the farm, are charged with the first-degree murder of Mr. Knights, who was a ten- ant. Forensic anthropologists determined the remains found on the property last month were those of a white female be- tween 15 and 20 years, OPP said. Post-mortem examination revealed the female victim died of blunt force trauma. Aside from location, OPP are not saying if the homicides are linked. Police said clothing found with the remains was made and shipped to stores in 1999, helping investigators narrow down when she was killed. Detective Inspector Jim Wilson said police have reviewed about a hundred missing persons files in Ontario and Canada in efforts to identify the re- mains. A potential break in the case came late last week when investigators received a phone call from a worried rel- ative of Ms. Robichaud. She ran away from her Oshawa home in April 1999, at the age of 16. Family members have not heard from Ms. Robichaud since March 2000. At the time she indicated she was stay- ing with an older man in Peterborough. Det. Insp. Wilson, of the criminal in- vestigations branch, said the relative was spurred to call OPP after hearing about the remains in the news media. As a result of speaking with investi- gators, the family filed a missing per- sons report Thursday with Durham Re- gional Police. Durham police said the report has been turned over to OPP. “Certainly this missing person is of interest to us, it falls within the parame- ters (of the human remains investiga- tion),” said Det. Insp. Wilson, referring to Ms. Robichaud’s age and time frame of her disappearance. “We were not aware of her missing until Thursday, although she hadn’t been seen by her family in some time,” he added. Det. Insp. Wilson would not discuss what, if any evidence other than clothes, was recovered with the remains. Police planned to obtain a possible sample of Ms. Robichaud’s DNA for comparison with the remains. Investiga- tors met with the family Monday. Relatives of Ms. Robichaud living in Whitby could not be reached. BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM –– The West Nile Virus has arrived in Ontario this summer and the Durham Region Health Department is recom- mending precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, the virus carrier. Eleven birds have been con- firmed positive for West Nile Virus, including in Peel Region, Oxford County, Chatham-Kent, Middlesex-London, Halton Re- gion, Perth and Windsor-Essex, says Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical offi- cer of health. In addition, a mos- quito trapped in Peel was con- firmed to have the virus. West Nile Virus was first found in Ontario’s bird popula- tion last summer after the virus travelled on infected birds from the United States. In the state of New York, it has resulted in human fatalities but no human cases have yet been reported in Ontario. The virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito that has become infect- ed from feeding on the blood of a bird carrying the virus. The dis- ease is not passed person-to-per- son or bird-to-person but it is fatal to birds and to some hu- mans, especially those with de- pressed immune systems. This summer three human cases have been confirmed in Louisiana says Dr. Reynolds who suggests this part of North America is more likely to experience human cases in August and September. “The likelihood is quite high we will find an infected bird in Durham Region (this summer),” says Dr. Reynolds. “The positive aspect is, the level of infection in the bird population this year re- mains quite low,” she adds. How- ever, she says, this is the time of year when the cycle of transmis- sion of the disease from mosqui- to to human potentially begins, so residents are being encour- aged to reduce the risk of being bitten. “We want to emphasize that the risk of human illness remains low,” she says. Ways to reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes in- clude: •Avoid areas with high mos- quito populations; •Wear light-coloured clothing including long sleeves, pants and a hat to cover exposed skin; •Use mosquito repellent con- taining DEET, following manu- facturer’s instructions. Adults should look for repellents con- taining 30 per cent DEET or less while children should wear re- pellent with no more than six to 10 per cent DEET. Children under six months should not use DEET products while those six months to two years should only have it applied once per day. Children three to 12 should have it applied no more than three times a day; •Ensure all windows and doors in the home have screens in good condition; and •Take extra precautions from dusk to dawn when mosquito ac- tivity is high. The Durham Health Depart- ment recently began a mosquito surveillance program in addition to bird surveillance. Mosquitoes are captured and sent to Brock University in St. Catharines where they are counted and iden- tified by species before being sent to Health Canada to be test- ed for the virus. In addition to personal protec- tive measures, residents are en- couraged to continue to reduce potential breeding areas on their properties such as: •Draining all areas of stand- ing or stagnant water on the property; •Removing old tires, turning over pails, toys and wheelbar- rows; •Frequently changing the water in bird baths, at least week- ly; and •Keeping eaves troughs clear to avoid trapped water. Residents are also reminded to call in any sightings of dead crows for the bird surveillance program.

In fact, many including ferns, hostas and impatiens prefer the coolness of a shaded area. However, due to the vary- ing angles of the sun throughout the course of a day, there are different kinds of shade which require individual types of maintenance to pro- duce healthy plant life. It is important to understand the particular shade types, their perma- nence and density when choosing plants that grow in differing light condi- tions. Here is a break- down of the types of shade. Light and Dappled Shade The two easiest shade conditions in which to raise plants are light and dappled shade. Even plants that are normally grown in sun may thrive in these types of shade, although they can become leggy as their stems grow tall in search of light. Light shade is the type of permanent shade that is cast by a building or wall on sites that are otherwise open to the sky. It also occurs at wood- land edges or at the mar- gins of a tree canopy. Shade that occurs beneath deciduous vege- tation will be dappled, forming a moving patch- work of varying intensities of shade that changes with the sun’s daily movement. Partial Shade As the sun moves across the sky, a site with partial shade may receive between two and six hours of direct sun daily. This situation is ideal for plants that tolerate sun but little shade. In fact, only the most committed sun-loving plants fail to thrive in such conditions. The distinct advantage of partial shade is that it may alleviate the burning effects of midday or after- noon sun. Deep Shade This type of shade occurs beneath dense, evergreen trees or shrubs, at the base of high walls, or in passageways that run between tall buildings and may be near-per- manent if little or no direct sunlight strikes the site. Where plants are grown in deep shade cast by trees or shrub cover, they may also need to cope with poor, dry soil. Dry Shade The most difficult garden situ- ation for gardeners and plants alike is that of dry shade, which occurs in the rain shadow of walls and beneath the canopy of dense or evergreen foliage, especially where shallow-rooting trees and shrubs are taking all of the moisture. Relatively few plants are able to thrive in dry shade, which restricts the scope of planting designs, so it really helps to improve the dry soil with organic matter.

Q: I have a brand new house and not one window covering for the many win- dows in my home. I’m look- ing for custom made blinds and shades to replace the bed sheets and comforters that are now covering my windows. I’ve measured all my windows, now what should be my first step? A: Well, you’re already on the right track. You’ve measured your windows and came up with a makeshift set of coverings to assure some form of pri- vacy. You seem to have found out quickly that pri- vacy is the leading consider- ation in window décor and a good point to begin your thoughts on the functions that you need your treat- ments to provide. Privacy can be gained in many ways, but you need to first determine what kind of pri- vacy you need. Is it every day, all day because the room faces a busy street, or is it only at night when your neighbours tend to spend a lot of time in their room that is directly opposite yours? Just these two examples alone will determine the treatment you require, as with the former a blind that can swivel for privacy, but would still let in some light would be best, but in the later problem, an opaque shade that you only close in the evenings but keep open during the day, should solve the problem. Other factors can include daily sunlight expo- sure. Do the windows of the space face west or east? If so, heat and possibly too much light in the early mornings if it were a bed- room, would be major con- siderations. If the sunlight were going to fade the rugs and furniture in your living room you would need to protect against that too. If the problem is keeping the heat out and so maximizing your air conditioners poten- tial, you may choose drap- ery out of a heavier fabric, so as to create a barrier pre- venting the heat, from entering the room through the window. Similarly, light can wake you at 5 am, so a treatment that carries a blackout lining will leave you in dreamland for as long as you choose. But finally, the one issue that has no bearing on needs, is simply aesthet- ics. That is to say the “need” to create a mood, a theme, a way of beautifying the appearance of a room, even if the treatment is unnecessary for all the rea- sons outlined above. (NC) NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, July 19,2002 PAGE 25 A/P BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM –– Born and raised here, Michael Hurst, the son of late local Sports Hall of Famer Earl ‘Peg’ Hurst, has also gone on to distinguish himself, far from the playing fields of Durham. “I’m like a 55-year-old Indi- ana Jones,” Mr. Hurst joked from his mother’s Oshawa home while on a recent visit. The past he has unearthed may not be the Holy Grail, yet his quest has brought him to the attention of interna- tional historians, a distinguished but neglected group of Second World War veterans, and to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Now living in Taipei where he runs a promotions and advertis- ing business, Mr. Hurst will be inducted into the Order of the British Empire this fall in recog- nition of his exploration into - and championing of - an almost forgotten tragedy. As founder and director of the Taiwan PoW (prisoners of war) Camps Memorial Society, the deter- mined history buff has been in- strumental in bringing belated appreciation - and in some cases, pension and medical benefits - to Commonwealth and Allied pris- oners of war held in Japanese prison camps during the Second World War. The ordeal of these PoWs was as cruel as can be imagined. De- spite the terms of the Geneva Convention, the Japanese mili- tary code of honour at the time was such that any soldier who surrendered was thought to be worthless. The Allied prisoners suffered hunger, beatings, starva- tion and lacked basic medical care. They were used as slaves to work in mines, construction and to dig out riverbeds by hand. These harsh conditions were shown in the popular 1957 movie, ‘Bridge on the River Kwai.’ But that story was only loosely based on the building of two Kwai River bridges in Burma (one of steel, one of wood), to help move Japanese supplies and troops from Bangkok to Rangoon. In fact, the bridges were destroyed two years after their construction - in late June 1945 - quite the contrary to the film’s dramatic conclusion. “The PoWs hate that movie,” offers Mr. Hurst, adding he does “not hate the Japanese,” but wants to tell the story of the PoWs. Working tirelessly to accu- rately document PoWs’ experi- ences in the camps once located in Taiwan, the former Oshawa resident discovered extraordi- nary details to rival the academy award-winning extravaganza. One was the account of a Cana- dian military doctor who worked valiantly to save the lives of his fellow captives at a camp located A/P PAGE 26 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 19, 2002 & 4 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU (905)576-7600 (905)259-5925 *Call for details SUMMER SALE CENTRAL AIR & FURNACE NO DUCTS!

Your hometown newspaper “not exactly as illustrated” just 80 kilometres from Mr. Hurst’s Taipei home. “Major Ben Wheeler was from Al- berta,”he explains of the Canadian Army physician who was taken prison- er during the Fall of Singapore. “He had saved the lives of hundreds of men in- terned in Kinkaseki Camp, one of the most notorious of all Asian prisoner of war camps.” This discovery moved Mr. Hurst to establish a committee in 1997 to find out all he could about the prisoners who lost years, their health and, too often, their lives. “Because the doctor was Canadian, I wanted to do something to acknowl- edge his contribution and to remember the men who suffered and died in this camp,”he adds. Most of the men in the Kinkaseki Camp were British soldiers, forced to work in a copper mine. With no medi- cine or medical equipment, the sick and injured didn’t fare well. “But Dr. Wheeler performed many miracles, operating with razor blades and with no anesthetic,”says Mr. Hurst. More than 1,100 PoWs went through that camp in three years. The National Film Board documen- tary made by Anne Wheeler, Dr. Wheeler’s daughter, inspired him and is one he recommends people see. ‘A War Story’was made in 1981, based on the diaries Dr. Wheeler kept during his in- ternment in Kinkaseki. The years of investigating and con- tacting government veterans’groups have culminated in a monument being built on the site of the infamous camp. Three former PoWs were able to attend the dedication and Mr. Hurst has been able to ascertain there were a total of 15 camps located in Taiwan. Known dur- ing the Second World War as Formosa, Allied prisoners were sent there after being captured at various locations in the Pacific theatre of war. “Two guys tried to escape in the spring of 1943,”says Mr. Hurst. “But white people don’t survive long in an oriental environment. They were recap- tured in a couple of weeks, beaten and mutilated and paraded before their men. Then they were either shot or beheaded ....” About 200 survivors of the camps have contacted him. And by bringing their stories to light, he was influential in seeing British PoWs finally receive pensions and medical benefits in 2000. This group and their families and friends were, in turn, responsible in part for Mr. Hurst being awarded the MBE. “The most rewarding thing for me, though,”he clarifies,“is to see the hap- piness and joy in the faces of PoWs; that they haven’t been forgotten.” For more information about the Tai- wan PoW Camps Memorial Society, visit www.powtaiwan.org or if you are or know of a PoW held captive in Tai- wan, Mr. Hurst asks that you contact him be email at society@powtaiwan.org or write to him at P.O.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —An Uxbridge student and his parents are suing the Durham District School Board, five of its trustees and three staff members, seeking $250,000 in dam- ages and the clearing of the pupil’s record. At issue is the expulsion of the student, now 18, in January 2001. While he has since been readmitted, the defendants claim he was expelled based on un- proven information from Durham Regional Police, and that the board bungled the expulsion hearing, vio- lating the Education Act. Whitby trustees Eliza- beth Roy and Doug Ross, Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine, Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper and Pickering Trustee Jen- nifer Bridge are named in the suit. As well, the state- ment of claim filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice lists education director Grant Yeo, Uxbridge schools superin- tendent Bev Freedman and Uxbridge Secondary School principal Peter Morris as defendants. The student and his par- ents cannot be identified because he was under 18 at the time of the incident. In an interview, the stu- dent’s mother said the fam- ily has been through “hell”. She did not deny police caught her son off school property with marijuana during a holiday break, but denies he sold drugs at the school, as Durham Region- al Police and the board claim. Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham police spokesman, said Tuesday the teen was given a condi- tional discharge in the case. The parent said she real- ized something might be amiss when she read an Uxbridge Times-Journal story about a school board meeting in which a trustee alleged his colleagues vio- lated the Education Act in conducting an illegal ex- pulsion hearing. When she saw that the hearing took place on March 19, 2001, she realized they were talk- ing about her son’s case. The issue has been a contentious one amongst trustees. Five trustees formed a committee to conduct an expulsion hear- ing, and the entire board of trustees later ratified the decision, a course of action sanctioned by the board’s lawyer. Two weeks later at a standing committee meet- ing, Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers argued his col- leagues had no authority to form their own committee. Other trustees, including Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford and Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen, supported Trustee Dem- mers’ motion the board so- licit a second legal opinion. That motion was defeated. Earlier this year, when board members feuded over a controversial legal bill incurred by some trustees, the trustees in- volved indicated they sought advice from a lawyer after rejecting the opinion of the board solici- tor regarding an expulsion hearing. The parent confirmed some of the trustees in- volved in the legal bill, and their lawyer, had contacted her about her son’s case. In the board’s statement of defence, it claims nei- ther the student nor his par- ents “took any steps in 2001, whatsoever, to ap- peal and/or review the de- cision of the trustees. “The defendants plead that the expulsion hearing was properly conducted and the plaintiff’s reme- dies, arising therefrom, if anyone or more of them felt aggrieved, were to im- mediately appeal or seek judicial review of the deci- sion and that by their fail- ure to do so, they are now estopped by, amongst other things, their delay and laches from advancing any such claim in this hon- ourable court.” The statement says the student’s arrest “was a con- tinuation of an investiga- tion that was conducted at the school, relating to (the student’s) direct involve- ment in the distribution of narcotics on school proper- ty.” Alan Farrer, the board’s lawyer, said in an interview there are two parallel pro- ceedings, a judicial review and a lawsuit, that will be dealt with at different times. He expected the re- view to take place some- time this year but estimat- ed the trial likely would not be held this year. Mr. Farrer said it was not appropriate to get into details of the case. Howev- er, he acknowledged Mr. Morris was not present at the expulsion hearing. The family claims that’s a vio- lation of the Education Act, a claim rejected by Mr. Farrer.

Mr. Picov wants to greatly expand his quarter-horse racetrack in con- junction with the installation of slot machines. His $60-million business plan calls for up to 800 machines and he’s waiting for word from the Province on how many he’ll get. Last year, he said, approximately $32 million was wagered on horse racing at Picov’s, although the vast majority was done at three tele-the- atre betting sites. The quarter-horses accounted for less than $300,000. But, with expansion, he’s expecting the big time. “Interest is building. I never thought it would build (up) so great,” Mr. Picov said. Picov’s is the only quarter-horse racetrack in Ontario. With a new track — the building schedule calls for an opening late next year — the race season would be lengthened. And, it’s expected tourists will flock here. “With the race track, we expect a lot of tourists. We’ll have a lot of American horses racing in the first two years. Owners will follow their families. Owners like to be with their horses,” he noted. “We expect a lot of tourists from Oklahoma, Indiana and Texas.” He noted quarter-horse racing is a “niche market. We’ll get a lot of European tourists, from Belgium, Holland and Germany. I don’t know why. I guess they have friends in the area. “We’re a big, big tourist attraction. We hope to get bus tours with the border states, like Michigan. You’ll see a lot of Quebecers. They’re heav- ily involved in quarter-horse racing. There’ll be a lot of people from all over.” Mr. Picov is also trying to “work a circuit with Alberta and B.C. They’ll bring their horses here to race.” While walking about the communi- ty, he suggested, “half the people will be from somewhere else”. Having an expanded Picov’s, with slots, will help promote the area, noted Durham Region tourism manager Patti Wat- son. “It’s an asset to have casinos in the area,” she said, noting for visitors stay- ing the night, having slots will give them “something to do overnight”. Picov’s, along with other Durham at- tractions such as the Mosport race track in Clarington, make marketing the area easier, she said. “Even within Toronto, we try to make ourselves as unique as possible. We need to get into people’s minds,” Ms. Watson stated. “We need some- thing to set ourselves apart. They’re all important to the area.” Looking for a sure bet are Ian McAdams and daughter, Jackie. JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Sunday afternoons present good times for race enthusiasts at Picov Downs on Hwy. 2, just west of Lak- eridge Road. Above, jockey Keith Dimech is pictured riding Rare Silks. Quarter-horse racing, below, accounts for only $300,000 of the $32 million wagered each year at Picov’s. All that could change with the addition of up to 800 slot machines. Watching the race are brothers Will, visiting from Australia, and John Wylie.ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer DURHAM — Through- out her life, Uxbridge resi- dent Jessie Podpora was careful with money. “She didn’t smoke, she didn’t drink. She watched her money,” said her son Bill Podpora. Her thrifty attitude paid off. Despite raising nine kids, Mrs. Podpora man- aged to retire from Domin- ion Auto 15 years ago at the age of 60 with savings and ownership of a house in town. In February of this year, though, Mrs. Podpora en- tered the Versa-Care long- term care centre in Uxbridge, and her savings have dwindled since then, said her son. Starting Aug. 1, her pocketbook will take a major hit. That’s because the Province, just prior to the government’s summer break and the Canada Day long weekend, announced a $213 per month rent in- crease for the 60,000 resi- dents in Ontario’s 525 nurs- ing homes. The Province regulates rents at all nurs- ing homes, both public and privately owned. The price hike, which takes effect Aug. 1, equates to $7 more per day — a 15- per cent boost. Last year’s increase was only $1.49 a day. Therefore, someone liv- ing in a basic wardroom at one of Durham Region’s 14 nursing homes, which means they share the room with three other people, will now be paying approx- imately $1,567 per month for accommodation, food and to help maintain the fa- cility. For Mrs. Podpora, who pays an $8-a-day premium to live in a semi-private room with one other per- son, her rent will go up to more than $1,800 per month. That’s almost $1,000 more than she col- lects from Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security, said her son. Her savings pay for the difference. “It’s her investments and once her investments are gone, we’ll have to sell her home,” said Mr. Podpora, who takes care of his mom’s finances. Doreen Thomson, anoth- er resident of Versa-Care Uxbridge, said earlier this week she simply doesn’t have the money to pay for the rent increase. “They take everything I got now. I’ll have to mort- gage my wheelchair,” she added laughing, proving she’s keeping a sense of hu- mour despite the increase. Rosalind Robertson, a spokesman for Dan New- man, the minister responsi- ble for long-term care, said this week the Province’s de- cision would not result in the less-wealthy being thrown out of nursing homes. Any resident with an in- come less than $20,000 per year can apply for a rate re- duction, she said. The gov- ernment also does not pun- ish people by taking into account assets such as homes or investments, nor family members with money, she added. The government made the decision because it hopes to take some of the $50 million it currently spends to subsidize accom- modation costs for nursing home residents and put it toward nursing and person- al care at the facilities, said Ms. Robertson. She added the basic (wardroom) daily rate of $51.53 that residents will pay starting Aug. 1 is the fourth lowest among Cana- da’s provinces. The nation- al average is $79.04, she said. “This was an incredibly difficult decision to reach, it was not an easy decision for this government to make,” Ms. Robertson said. “However, we felt it was important for us to ask the people who can afford not to be subsidized to not be subsidized.” Ontario’s long-term care industry, which has been calling for the Province to invest substantially more money for nursing and per- sonal care in nursing homes, expressed disap- pointment the government decided to answer that call by upping rents. “We don’t believe this increase should be put on the backs of seniors with fixed incomes,” said Greg Fougere, chairman of the Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Ser- vices for Seniors. “There’s something fundamentally wrong about the thinking behind this decision. We’re asking the government to rescind the decision.” Mr. Fougere said many seniors make only slightly more than $20,000 annually and will not qualify for any rate reduction. However, he said they also won’t have much money left over for drugs, dental care, clothing or even transportation. Mr. Fougere said the Province has simply forced the cost of subsidizing low-income residents onto other resi- dents in the homes. The Liberals have also called for the Province to rescind the nursing home rate hike, arguing it is far higher than the 3.9 per cent rent increase landlords are able to charge tenants this year. Ms. Robertson said that is “comparing apples to or- anges. “This is not rent for a regular place,” she said of nursing homes. “There is cleaning staff, there is laundry staff, there is hydro and air condition- ing and food.” At Versa-Care Uxbridge, resident council president Mervin DeNure said he’s unimpressed with the way Mr. Newman chose to an- nounce the rent hike to the public on a Friday after- noon, after the legislature finished sitting. “It was sneaky. We weren’t asked about it,” he said. But he maintains the fight is not done. “I don’t think it’s over yet. It’s just unfair. There’s a lot of people who can’t af- ford the increase.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 19, 2002 PAGE 29 A/P Saturn Saab Isuzu of Pickering 980 KINGSTON RD., PICKERING 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering@saturncanada.com SATURN OF PICKERING KINGSTON RD.

K19: THE WIDOWMAKER Starring Harrison Ford, Liam Nee- son Directed by Kathryn Bigelow Harrison Ford and Liam Nee- son star in a thrilling drama about what many believe to be the most dangerous time in global history. Captain Alexei Vostrikov (Har- rison Ford), at the height of the Cold War, is ordered to take com- mand of the nuclear missile sub- marine K-19 away from its origi- nal commander Captain Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson). Vostrikov’s mission is to quickly ready the ill-prepared sub for her maiden voyage - no matter what the cost. But Vostrikov, Polenin and K- 19’s loyal crew can never imagine all that is expected of them. Nei- ther can they fathom what the price of failure might be for them and for the world when a nuclear reactor malfunctions, threatening a core meltdown and an explosion that will certainly kill all aboard. As they glide beneath the Arctic seas, it is the crew’s collective bravery and Vostrikov’s daring embrace of his duty toward his country and his men, which will ultimately save K- 19... and stave off what surely would have been a nuclear disaster.

BECAUSE THE CHICKEN IS STILL WARM! EVERY SALAD EVERY TIME. The chicken is not mass prepared with the salad in the morning and then refrigerated until lunch or delivered to the store from a food commissary. We make our salads in house every day. The grilled chicken breast or the chicken strips are not sliced on top of the salad until the salad is ordered. In a one hour period we have sold 60 salads in this store. The Second Secret? GRILL and CHILL: This concept has made DQ wonderfully successful (for instance a Peanut Buster Parfait with Hot Fudge and creamy cold soft serve tastes dreamy when you take a mouthful of the sweet rich hot, hot fudge mixed in with the ice cold creamy soft serve). That HOT/COLD combination is delicious! Well now this concept is being applied to our salad program. A CHILLED salad in delicious union with a hot GRILLED CHICKEN breast f illet sliced onto your salad. The combination of HOT and COLD. It’s not just the crisp lettuce, fresh chopped tomatoes, bacon pieces and shredded cheddar cheese but also that flame broiled all white breast chicken fillet sliced up into pieces and still warm when we serve it! Or those golden brown crispy chicken strips (from our Chicken Strip Basket) sliced on your salad. Top it with the dressing that gets raves...our incredible HONEY MUSTARD dressing (we also have Creamy Ranch and Light Italian) and you have a great tasting, healthy HOT and COLD salad!

Eric Pham Hung, left, and Lawrence Pham Hung, right, let fly with kicks directed at older brother Adam. The three siblings –– who all possess black belts in tae kwon do –– achieved outstanding results at the recent 2002 national junior championships in Rich- mond, B.C. Band of brothers Pham Hungs get their kicks...and medals...at Canadian Junior Taekwondo Championships in B.C. BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING — Their mother playfully refers to them as her “bodyguards” and with good reason. With three black belts, including a two- time Canadian tae kwon do champion, in the house, there’s good reason to feel safe. The three Pham Hung kids — Adam, 13, Eric, 11, and Lawrence, nine, — all enjoyed a phenomenal season of competition in tae kwon do at the provincial and national level. The three first-dan black belts, along with younger brother Michael, six, all receive in- struction in the martial art at the Young Choung Olympic Taekwondo Academy. They’ve all studied tae kwon do since age four under the tutelage of Grand Master Young Su Choung, the academy’s head mas- ter. Their mother, Shirley Nguyen, said the boys train almost every day, for an hour-and- a-half at a time, at the Toronto-based acade- my. “They train as much as they can,” she said, adding the club and Choung have helped the boys in every way possible, including finan- cially, to fulfil their promise on the national stage. “During the school year, it’s pretty hard. Every day, if we can, we get them down there.” She noted, at first, it was merely an activi- ty to give the boys a physical outlet. There was never any thought it could lead to nation- al titles. “We first enrolled them in the sport for fit- ness,” said Nguyen. “We never dreamed that they would accomplish so much. We’re 100 per cent behind them. As long as it keeps them busy and out of trouble, we’re all for it.” The capper for the Pham Hungs was their outstanding performances at the 2002 Canadi- an Junior National Taekwondo Champi- onships in Richmond, B.C. recently. Adam, the defending national champ in the fin division (ages 11 to 13, 36 to 40 kilo- grams), moved up to the fly category (ages 11 to 13, 40 to 44 kilograms) this year and was equally successful. In sparring, he won all four of his fights, while not giving up a single point, to earn gold. He also earned a bronze medal in patterns at nationals. Adam won his first two fights by knock- outs over Quebec and B.C. opponents, respec- tively, before winning his third fight, by an 8- 0 count over a Quebec fighter to earn his shot at gold. In the gold-medal match, he won with a 4-0 decision over his Quebec opponent. “It felt good that I won,” said Adam, who’s also a two-time provincial champion in the martial art. “I was nervous at the beginning of the competition, but at the end, I was feeling very good.” Meanwhile, brother Eric won his first three fights to make it into the final of the super fin division (ages 11 to 13, 32 to 36 kg) at na- tionals. He won his first fight by KO over an Albertan and then went on earn a second- round KO and a third-round 8-0 decision over two British Columbians. In the final, which pitted him against clubmate Siddhartha Bhat of Toronto, they battled to a 1-1 draw, but the decision was awarded to Bhat, leaving Eric with a national silver medal. Lawrence also qualified for nationals and received his gold medal by default, as there were no other fighters who met the qualifying standards in the fin ‘C’division (10 years and younger, 26 kg and under). He was also the 2002 provincial champion in his weight divi- sion at the championships in Sarnia earlier this year. All three brothers plan to train in order to earn their second-dan black belt designation at the tae kwon do academy. They also have full intentions of returning to the junior na- tionals next year in order to compete for medals once more. When they’re not training, all four brothers also compete in elite soccer, too. Adam plays at the under-13 regional level for Markham. Meanwhile, Eric plays for the Ajax Warriors under-12 premier division squad, while Lawrence and Michael also play on Warriors’ teams. They also hope to compete in their first in- ternational competition, the U.S. Open Taek- wondo Championships, in February.
