Security guard slain outside Ajax home was to testify today in home invasion case
Police probe murder
RICHARD SEREDUIK
Heard shots fired.
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
An off-duty security offi-
cer shot to death just steps
from his Ajax home was
scheduled to testify today in a
home invasion-robbery case,
the News Advertiser has
learned.
As the manhunt for Roy
Jones’s killer widened yester-
day, police would not say if
investigators believe the slay-
ing is linked to the upcoming
trial. Mr. Jones, a prosecution
witness, was set to take the
stand today at the preliminary
hearing.
When asked about suspect-
ed motives, lead homicide
squad detective Rolf Kluem
would only say, “I’m looking
at all avenues.”
“I can’t confirm or deny (a
connection to the case). I’m
looking at all avenues that
will lead us to the person re-
sponsible for this serious
crime,” he said.
Durham Regional Police
said the security guard at
Pickering’s Metro East Trade
Centre was walking home
from work at 10:25 p.m. when
he was confronted in front of
his parent’s Twilley Lane res-
idence, near Pickering Beach
Road and Hwy. 2, by one or
more assailants. A brief chase
followed.
“Shortly after person or
persons unknown shot Mr.
Jones as he ran onto Pickering
Beach Road, killing the vic-
tim,” said Sergeant Jim Grim-
ley, media relations officer.
It’s unclear if the victim strug-
gled with his killer(s).
Mr. Jones’s parents, as well
as several neighbours, were
drawn to the street by the
sound of the gunshots and
found their son sprawled
across the middle of the road-
way.
The gunman was spotted
running south from the shoot-
ing scene, Sgt. Grimley said.
Mr. Jones was pronounced
dead at the scene. An autopsy
performed yesterday con-

Three-man pile-up
City wants
Durham to pipe
up on support
Pickering councillors want Region
to take position on York pipe plan
PICKERING —Durham
Region will be asked to support
the City in its opposition to the
construction of a proposed water
pipeline through Pickering.
City councillors voted unani-
mously Monday to ask the Re-
gion to join Pickering in fighting
York Region’s proposed long-
term water supply project that
would see a water main tun-
nelled from Lake Ontario
through Petticoat Creek Conser-
vation Area and north along
Whites Road.
“It’s no secret in terms of
where the City stands,” said
Ward 1 Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner. “Now it’s time
for the Region of Durham to join
with the City of Pickering and
support our opposition.”
The City has been on record
as opposing the proposed project
for years. But Durham Region
has never taken a stand.
The terms of reference for
York Region’s environmental
assessment (EA) initially stated
the purpose of the project was to
provide water to meet York’s
long-term water supply needs.
The project was also identified
as having the potential to meet
the long-term needs of Durham
Region and the development of
an airport on the federal lands in
north Pickering.
However, York has modified
the project to delete any refer-
ence to Durham and the federal
lands and the Region has noth-
ing to gain, Coun. Brenner
noted.
“The Region should be an
agent of the lower-tier munici-
palities,” Ward 2 Regional
Councillor Mark Holland said,
noting it would be “completely
inappropriate for the Region to
do anything other than step for-
ward and support Pickering.”
Coun. Holland added, “It’s a
little surprising Durham Region
hasn’t taken a position in oppo-
sition... we need the Region to
take a position on this.”
Ward 1 local Councillor
Dave Ryan said he’s also sur-
prised Durham hasn’t comment-
ed on the proposed project,
which the City first learned
about approximately three years
ago.
“We had three years of op-
portunity for someone to take a
motion to the Region,” he said.
However, Coun. Brenner re-
ports the issue has been dis-
cussed at Durham council, not-
ing the last time the matter was
raised it was referred to a joint
committee of the planning and
works departments for further
input.
United Way goes way over the top
Ajax-Pickering fund-raising campaign reaches $1.4 million
The United Way of Ajax-
Pickering surpassed its fund-
raising goal for the first time in
years thanks to the communi-
ty’s generous participation in
the Year 2000 Campaign, the
organization reports.
“Our goal was $1,350,000
and we raised $1,415,000,”
United Way executive director
Edna Klazek said. “It is over
the top for the first time in
many, many years.”
Ms. Klazek announced the
campaign total at a celebration
Saturday, telling a crowd of
175 people gathered at the
Pickering Recreation Complex
for the organization’s Viva Las
Vegas party, “Without you
there would be no way... you
really proved how much the
people of Ajax and Pickering
care about each other.”
In an interview Monday,
Ms. Klazek said, “It’s been
years since we even hit the
goal in this community... to go
16 per cent over last year,
that’s huge.”
The campaign kicked off
Sept. 10 with a running and
walking challenge held along
the Ajax-Pickering waterfront
trail and wrapped up at the end
of December. The goal for
2000 was 10 per cent more
than the 1999 target.
Ms. Klazek believes the re-
cent campaign was such a
huge success because “we had
a lot of support... part if it had
to do with the fact the message
is getting out into the commu-
nity,”
She noted the United Way
has been working hard to raise
its visibility in the community
and she said a series of articles
published in the News Adver-
tiser about the agencies the or-
ganization supports con-
tributed to that success.
“The News Advertiser was
a part of that... the continuing
articles raised awareness,” she
said.
Ms. Klazek also reported

Durham trustees opt out of contract negotiations
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
Public school board
trustees, citing a lack of time,
are one step away from taking
themselves off the board’s
employee group negotiating
committees.
Despite a passionate plea
from former board chairman
and Whitby Trustee Doug
Ross, Durham District School
Board trustees Monday voted
6-5 in favour of Scugog
Trustee Martin Demmers’s
motion.
“What I’m hearing sure is
not campaign speeches,”
Trustee Ross said to his peers
at the standing committee
meeting in Whitby. “I can’t
imagine people during the
election campaign saying
these things.”
Several trustees had spo-
ken in favour of the motion,
arguing that with fewer
trustees on the board and
greater demands on their time,
board staff could be entrusted
to take the job over complete-
ly.
Trustee Demmers at a pre-
vious meeting had asked for a
report showing what was in
place in other jurisdictions.
Of 19 school boards that re-
sponded, 11 have trustees on

firmed he died as a result of multiple
gunshots, police said.
It is the first murder of the year in
Durham.
Sgt. Grimley said the man’s par-
ents had to be taken by ambulance to
Ajax-Pickering Health Centre and
treated for shock. Yesterday, police
and friends said they remained over-
whelmed with grief.
Richard Sereduik, whose Tams
Drive home is adjacent to the scene,
said he was watching TV when he
heard between five and seven gun-
shots ring out.
“The window was open... It sound-
ed like ‘Bang, bang, bang, bang,
bang. They were quite loud, like it
was echoing off the house,” he said.
“I heard about three shots first and
about 10 seconds later there were at
least two more.” Immediately after
the shooting the father of three chil-
dren said he heard a woman crying
and screaming for someone to call the
police.
“At first when I heard the shots I
panicked and locked my door... I
woke my wife up and called police,”
Mr. Sereduik said.
“I feel bad about the whole situa-
tion. I feel kind of sad, it’s a tragedy.”
Mr. Sereduik moved to the area
three years ago and described it as
usually quiet. “I’ve never heard any
trouble, nothing of this magnitude.”
Dozens of police officers respond-
ing to 911 calls, swarmed the neigh-
bourhood, sealed off streets and
launched a massive search for the
gunman, described as black, between
5-foot-7 and 5-foot-11, with slim to
medium build, wearing a toque and a
knee-length brown or black jacket.
Police dogs tracked the killer, be-
lieved armed with a handgun, south
and west, but the trail went cold.
“There were footprints that K-9 of-
ficers were tracking that would indi-
cate he may have doubled back
through a nearby shopping mall,” Sgt.
Grimley said.
A police tent was erected over the
shooting scene and the mobile com-
mand post was set up just north at
Pickering Beach Road and Hwy. 2.
The roadway from Hwy. 2 to Twilley
Lane was to remain closed until today
to allow forensic investigators to col-
lect potential evidence and recon-
struct the shooting.
Police canvassed residents door-to-
door seeking witnesses and conducted
ground searches hoping to locate a
weapon. None was found, police said.
Stan Weathers of Whitby said he
knew Mr. Jones “since he was a baby.
“He was a good, decent kid. I knew
him as he was growing up,” said Mr.
Weathers, who described himself as a
close friend of Mr. Jones’s father,
Alty.
The pair worked driving dump
trucks and were long-time neighbours
in Oshawa, where Mr. Jones grew up.
His mom works at Whitby Mental
Health Centre. “We’ve been friends
for 20 years. He called me (Monday)
morning and said I should come
over,” said Mr. Weathers. “He could-
n’t even talk... He was trying to tell
me what happened. He only said his
son was shot right in front of the
house after coming home from work,”
Mr. Weathers said.
“He was a good-behaving kid, al-
ways quiet, humble,” he said.
“They (Mr. Jones’s parents) are in bad
shape right now.”
He said Mr. Jones had two younger
brothers. The family moved to Ajax
about seven years ago and last De-
cember bought the Twilley Drive
townhome in a newly built complex.
At an earlier stage of his life Roy
Jones wanted to be a lawyer, Mr.
Weathers said. “My son is close to the
same age. They grew up together, like
twins. It feels like it’s your own son.
It’s terrible,” Mr. Weathers said.
The News Advertiser has learned
Mr. Jones was to testify today in On-
tario Court of Justice in Oshawa as a
Crown witness in the case of a 25-
year-old man charged in connection
with a Pickering home invasion.
During the June 15, 2000 robbery
a 47-year-old Pickering woman and
her 20-year-old son were bound with
duct tape and handcuffed. Police at
the time said three men, one armed
with a handgun, forced their way into
the Major Oaks Road residence after
the woman answered a knock on the
door.
The attackers, whose faces were
concealed by handkerchiefs, ran-
sacked the house, pistol-whipped the
man and robbed his mother of her
credit cards, forcing her to reveal her
PIN, according to police reports at the
time.
Police said the robbery was an intend-
ed drug rip-off. They later arrested a
man at a Whitby apartment after the
credit cards were used to get cash
from an ATM. Hash, hash oil and
marijuana along with other property
were seized. Police had said they
were seeking two other suspects but
no additional arrests were made.
“While it’s obviously of great con-
cern to us we’ve got no indication at
this time Mr. Jones’s death is related
to his role as a witness in the hearing.
Obviously of course, it’s crossed our
minds and is one of several avenues
that we are actively pursuing,” Sgt.
Grimley said. He refused to elaborate
on other possible motives.
A number of law enforcement
sources familiar with the case said
Mr. Jones played a crucial role for the
prosecution in the home invasion
trial.
“He was certainly a key witness. His
evidence was fairly important,” said a
source speaking on condition of
anonymity.
The source, however, said the
Crown had other evidence to rely on
and that the case could still be prose-
cuted without Mr. Jones’s evidence.
The assistant Crown attorney as-
signed to the home invasion case, Rob
Corbella, said he was aware of the
shocking development but could not
comment on the murder or what im-
pact it may have on the prosecution.
Durham Senior Crown attorney
Greg O’Driscoll said today’s hearing
would be adjourned “under the cir-
cumstances” and the case reviewed in
light of Mr. Jones’s death. He said he
knew little of the killing and could not
comment further.
Cosmo Joseph Jacobson, 25, of
Brampton, is facing 11 charges: rob-
bery, break and enter to commit an in-
dictable offence, two counts of
forcible confinement, robbery with a
handgun, wearing a disguise with in-
tent to commit an indictable offence,
breach of probation, using a stolen
credit card and three counts of pos-
session of a controlled substance.
Mr. Jacobson is free on $10,000
bail with conditions to reside with his
surety, his father, and stay away from
the victims of the home invasion, Mr.
Jones and 1899 Brock Rd., the Metro
East Trade Centre, records obtained
from Oshawa provincial court show.
A message to his Toronto lawyer
was not returned.
Meanwhile, police personnel at the
Ajax-Pickering Community Office
were stunned to learn of Mr. Jones’s
death. “The victim was well-known
through his job by a number of our of-
ficers at the Ajax-Pickering office. He
was well-respected,” Sgt. Grimley
said.
Mike Kiekebelt, president of First
Choice Security, said employees at
the Toronto company were distraught
by the news.
He said Mr. Jones worked at the
firm for three years and was site su-
pervisor at the Metro East Trade Cen-
tre for the last 18 months.
“It’s a terrible tragedy. He was an
upstanding person, a terrific guy. He
did his job fabulously out there.”
Police want to speak with a mo-
torist believed to have been driving by
the area just prior to the shooting and
any other persons who may have in-
formation about the slaying. Call de-
tectives at 579-1520, ext. 5220.

If Durham wants to leverage
more funding from the Province,
local politicians are going to have
to make some noise, says an Os-
hawa councillor.
“It seems to be the squeaky
wheel gets the grease,” Clare
Aker told the finance committee
Wednesday, noting Toronto
Mayor Mel Lastman, who’s been
extremely vocal about the fund-
ing shortfalls facing his city, has
been successful in negotiating
with the Province for additional
funding in the past. “Like him or
not, he’s been successful,” she
said of Mr. Lastman, noting at the
very least Durham should send a
letter to Premier Mike Harris in-
dicating there “has to be some
sort of equity. “What can we do as
a finance committee to really
make some noise?” Coun. Aker
asked.
Finance committee chairman
Jim McMaster responded saying
he’s asked finance commissioner
Jim Clapp to put together a list of
items the Region should be ask-
ing the Province for additional
funding for as the budget process
gets under way.
Charitable organizations across
Durham are being reminded to
take advantage of the Region to
promote upcoming events.
The Region of Durham
launched a new area on its Web
site in late November to enable
local organizations to post infor-
mation about upcoming activities
and fund-raisers here.
And, Pat Robinson, Durham’s
communication’s manager, reports
the response to the service has
been excellent.
“It’s been really good,” she
said, noting the Web site essential-
ly provides local non-profit groups
with free advertising.
“They seem to really like it. The
ones that use it tend to use it all the
time.”
The Lung Association of
Durham Region, which currently
has two postings on the site, decid-
ed to use the Web site to advertise
upcoming events after reading
about the service in the Oshawa
and Whitby This Week newspa-
pers, said Sheri Cotton.
“It provides us with another av-
enue to reach the public,” she said.
The Lung Association is cur-
rently advertising its ‘Pull for
Kids’event on the site. Participants
in the fund-raiser, which takes
place March 24, will have an op-
portunity to test their strength by
teaming up in groups of eight to try
and pull a pumper truck tug-of-war
style.
Ms. Cotton reports the response
to that event through the Web site
has been limited to date. But, feed-
back to the association’s Golf Priv-
ilege Books, which are also adver-
tised on the site, has been much
greater, she said.
For $25, golfers get a promo-
tional voucher book offering dis-
counts on courses across central
Ontario.
Proceeds from the book support
The Lung Association’s respirato-
ry research efforts and community
health programs.
“I just want to remind people
the service is there for them and
it’ll help them out,” Ms. Robinson
said.
The public can access informa-
tion on local events by visiting
Durham Region’s Web site at
www.region.durham.on.ca and
clicking on ‘public service an-
nouncements’.
Charitable organizations inter-
ested in participating can forward
information about upcoming
events to the Region through an
online form.

the campaign received a tremendous amount of
support from local businesses such as Siemens
Canada Ltd., Purdue Pharma, Messier-Dowty,
Veridian Corporation, Ontario Power Generation
and DaimlerChrysler among others.
“There was a lot of strong support in the com-
munity, people realize there’s a need,” she said.
And, work has already begun on the 2001
campaign, she said, noting the United Way is
hoping to have the campaign team together by
March.
“Next year is going to be even tougher,” she
said, referring to layoffs expected in the commu-
nity as companies like Chrysler move to down-
size their operations.
Ms. Klazek reported fund-raising efforts for
the next campaign will focus on ways to get
small businesses, restaurants and other commer-
cial establishments involved.
“There are a lot of ideas for next year. It has-
n’t been crystallized yet,” she said.
Funds raised through the campaign will go to-
wards the 22 community agencies, and the more
than 100 programs they deliver, which the Unit-
ed Way supports in Ajax and Pickering.

employee bargaining teams
and eight do not.
“I’d like to address each and
every trustee as an individual,
because the decision you face
as an individual is, do you
have enough time to do the
work?” he said. “I propose that
we trust our staff department
to handle this.”
Oshawa Trustee Kathleen
Hopper, the board’s longest-
serving member, agreed with
her colleague.
She noted the board former-
ly had 20 trustees, which
means each representative is
now responsible for more
schools. As well, trustees make
just $5,000 per year, and many
have children and part-time
jobs. She favoured “sending
staff away with the parameters
to work with the unions.”
Trustees Melinda Crawford
(Ajax), Paul Crawford (Picker-
ing), Susan Shetler and Cyn-
thia Steffen (Oshawa) also
supported the motion.
Trustee Ross said the out-
come of negotiations deter-
mine almost three-quarters of
board spending, and as “keep-
ers of the system,” trustees
should be involved in talks.
Besides, he noted, the board’s
employee groups “want to
know that their elected offi-
cials care enough to know
what they want to say.
“The time you should have
decided the workload was too
great was before the election,”
he added.
Board chairman and Whitby
Trustee Elizabeth Roy agreed.
“I’m very concerned that
we would even consider going
this way,” she said. “The nego-
tiating teams do want us
there.”
She exhorted her colleagues
to “make that vote in favour of
having trustees sit on (the
committees).”
Uxbridge-Brock Trustee
Nancy Loraine, standing com-
mittee chairman, passed the
gavel in order to speak on the
issue. She said she felt respon-
sible for the debate since she
had previously expressed con-
cerns over the time commit-
ment involved.
“The more I’ve had discus-
sions with people and looked
at what the implications of
what that would be... to be
honest, I’ve changed my
mind,” said Trustee Loraine.
Student trustee Chris Skin-
ner, who attends Port Perry
High School, said it was “bor-
derline ridiculous” to give up
on negotiations.
“I think you’re going to lose
a lot of respect from the com-
munities around you,” he said.
Referring to issues which
had previously been discussed
at the meeting, including a
computer initiative, Trustee
Demmers said trustees will
have more time to spend on
“the important things” if they
do not have to commit to com-
mittees. Unions, he speculated
may like to see an inexperi-
enced trustee at the bargaining
table.
The move would see the
board “gain the respect of our
employee groups” and send a
message to staff that trustees
have faith in their abilities, he
said.
“Our plate is full and I pro-
pose that we leave this to our
professional staff,” said
Trustee Demmers. “We’re not
the first; many boards are
doing it.”
Trustee Melinda Crawford
asked for a recorded vote. And
while the motion passed at
standing committee, it now
goes to the full board for ap-
proval on Feb. 19.

TRUSTEES from page A1
Trustees see
the plight as
parents push
for new school
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
Team Uxbridge scored a victory at
Monday’s Durham District School
Board standing committee meeting.
While an addition to Uxbridge Sec-
ondary School is not a sure thing, some
trustees supported it before a gallery of
at least 200 Uxbridge parents, students
and officials, who called for major
school improvements in the board’s
next accommodation plan.
“I’m thrilled when new trustees say
they see our plight,” school council
chairman Karyn Cotie said in an inter-
view.
She said the SCC will be watching
closely as the board prepares a five-
year schools’ building plan to take ef-
fect in 2002. Ms. Cotie said that in-
cludes keeping an eye on other com-
munities pressing for a place in the
plan.
She told trustees the message from
the USS community had not changed
since last year, when the SCC also
made a presentation to the board.
“Uxbridge Secondary School is still
bursting at the seams and we still have
critical program needs that need to be
addressed,” said Ms. Cotie.
A video of “A Day at USS” depict-
ed the overcrowding at the school, rated
for 810 students but currently home to
1,200.
Library, classroom and other facili-
ties are simply not big enough to handle
the student load, said Ms. Cotie.
Accommodation committee chair-
man Fred Bendell said the school needs
more science labs, another gym or a
larger gym, and a revamped and larger
parking area to help traffic, including
school buses, move smoothly. There is
no place in the crowded library and
cafeteria, where students rush at lunch
hour to secure a seat, for pupils to work
quietly on assignments.
“We see some students doing home-
work in their cars,” said Mr. Bendell.
Students from USS and Uxbridge’s
five public elementary schools circled
the board room floor in front of trustees
and staff, carrying signs that identified
critical needs and photos of areas like
the library, parking lot and congested
guidance area.
Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor, like
Ms. Cotie, thanked the board for recent
improvements to the school that result-
ed in more washroom and science lab
facilities.
She said Uxbridge council will work
with the board to address parking issues
and urged trustees to approve buying a
parcel of land next to the high school
where the proposed addition would be
built.
Three of the 11 trustees and student
representative Chris Skinner said they
support the call for an addition.
“I can’t believe that you’re not a
higher priority than some of the
(schools) in the (current) accommoda-
tion plan,” said Pickering Trustee Paul
Crawford.
He said an addition “should be a big
priority” in the next building plan, ex-
pected in the fall.
“I would agree with Trustee Paul
Crawford that we need to do some-
thing,” said Ajax Trustee Melinda
Crawford.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Release Robert
Latimer from
‘unfair’ sentence
To the editor:
The recent minimum 10-year
sentence imposed upon Robert
Latimer seems very unfair when
one considers the following facts:
1. This obviously much-loved
father selflessly put his own fu-
ture in jeopardy by freeing his
disabled daughter from pain, both
present and future.
2. The sentence is harsh when
compared to sentences already
imposed upon proven evil people
like Karla Homolka serving a
maximum of 12 years for ex-
tremely heinous crimes.
3. Robert Latimer is not likely
to be a danger to anyone in the
community in the future.
4. The people really being sen-
tenced are his loving wife and
family whose livelihood and fu-
ture on their farm are surely in
jeopardy.
I realize one has to be careful
about setting future precedents,
but I understand there was a
strong recommendation for le-
niency in this case based on ex-
tenuating circumstances.
I, as a compassionate fellow
Canadian citizen, ask Prime Min-
ister Jean Chretien to exercise his
powers to allow Robert Latimer
to return to his family with a pro-
viso that he take part in some
form of community service by
way of punishment, and surely
justice will then have been done.

Cat licensing a
waste of time
and money
To the editor:
Many cat owners, including
myself, have taken cats off the
street, paid to have them spayed
and neutered, given them vet care
and a home. Now we are to be pe-
nalized with a $15 licence even
though our pets are kept indoors or
allowed out under supervision.
Council thinks that by sending
people door to door to collect a $15
licence, it will eliminate the prob-
lem of stray cats. Would this
money not be better spent by offer-
ing a free spaying and neutering
service for those who cannot af-
ford it?
So many animals in shelters
desperately need to be adopted.
This new licence will only discour-
age many people from doing so.
There was no input from the
public before this law was passed.
I urge everyone to express their
feelings to their councillors.
Elizabeth Paton,
Pickering
Brother-sister
pact a
troubling deal
To the editor:
Re: ‘Latimer sentence outra-
geous,’ letter to the editor, Jan.
26.
I am outraged by this letter.
The writer states she made a pact
with her brother that if she be-
came severely disabled “he would
make sure I would not be left this
way.” The point here is that she
made this decision and not her
brother.
As ridiculous as it may now
sound, it makes one wonder if
persons sharing Robert Latimer’s
philosophy would, if they could,
sneak in and ‘Latimer’ my poor
bed-wetting, ailing grandmother.

EDITORIAL
In need of support
Now’s time for Region, board to
back Pickering in pipeline fight
It’s not hard to understand the frustration Pickering coun-
cillors and residents are feeling in their efforts to stop York Re-
gion’s proposed water pipeline from passing through the city.
Despite intense lobbying here at home and several public
meetings on the issue, it seems no one outside the city’s bor-
ders seems to care about the possible protracted construction
period, the preferred route through a conservation area and the
long-term implications of the plan. The pipe would be tun-
nelled from Lake Ontario through Petticoat Creek Conserva-
tion Area and north along Whites Road.
Take, for example, the Durham District School Board’s
hastiness Monday night in dismissing discussion on a motion
by trustee Jennifer Bridge relating to the pipeline project.
Trustees wanted the discussion delayed until another meeting
but reluctantly agreed to hear the motion when informed of a
tight deadline before an environmental assessment heads to the
Environment Ministry. They then agreed to look into the mat-
ter and put off a decision until the next meeting.
And then there’s Durham council. Three years into the
planning for the pipe and the Region has yet to take an official
position. At one time it was believed the line would benefit
Durham through long-term needs and the development of an
airport in north Pickering, but York has since deleted any such
references.
Trustee Bridge has legitimate worries the construction pe-
riod alone poses safety hazards to students at Dunbarton High
School. Putting off a decision too long could be costly on the
board’s part. As for the Region, it’s incumbent upon council-
lors to get behind the City and help strengthen its case before
the Province makes a decision.
As Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said, “The
Region should be an agent of the lower-tier municipalities.”
With the deadline for a final decision looming, it’s time for
the City to receive some important support in this battle it’s
been fighting single-handedly for far too long.

Sometimes — a columnist hates
to admit it — a picture is taken of a
political figure that has more im-
pact than a thousand words and
Ontario now has one of Premier
Mike Harris.
The Progressive Conservative
premier was not around the legisla-
ture to answer legitimate questions
about a friend who got planning re-
strictions on a development re-
moved after, according to a senior
civil servant, he took his case to the
political level.
So an enterprising newspaper
photographer tracked Mr. Harris to
an ‘exclusive’golf resort in Florida
and took a picture of a burly man,
running a little to seed, in rumpled
shirt and baggy shorts, with a cigar
hanging from his lips and his good
buddies in the background.
It reminded graphically of what
many have read often, that Mr. Har-
ris spends too much time away,
often relaxes in warm climes while
constituents plod through weary
winters and devotes a lot of time to
playing golf, in and out of Ontario.
(Although even his critics would
have to admit he must be home
working sometimes to conjure up
all those programs they complain
of.)
It reminded also that he hangs
around with some who do well out
of government and, while saying
he is still the guy next door, lives
off the fat of the land. That cigar
would have kept a welfare recipient
in food for days. The premier has
urged Ontarians to exercise and
smoke less and can be seen as set-
ting a bad example.
A security guard with Mr. Har-
ris also confirmed what occurred to
even the non-partisan — the pic-
ture made the premier look like a
mafia boss in TV’s ‘The Sopranos’
and ticked him off.
This is a picture that, because of
the way it shows the premier, will
be shown and mentioned again and
again. It will be surprising if oppo-
nents fail to revive it in an election.
Ontario politics have had few
such memorable pictures. The bet-
ter-known have been federal, such
as Liberal prime minister Pierre
Trudeau doing a pirouette at a for-
mal, state event, for which he was
rebuked for lacking dignity, and
Tory leader Robert Stanfield, often
called the best prime minister
Canada never had, dropping a foot-
ball thrown to him, for which he
was unfairly and forever cast as a
political fumbler.
One picture that was used with
some effect by Mr. Harris’s Tories
was taken when they followed Lib-
eral leader Dalton McGuinty on his
pre-1999 election travels and
snapped him looking tight-lipped
and grim, although for all we know
he may merely have had a piece of
rubber chicken stuck in his teeth.
Mr. Harris’s party ran it in TV
commercials scoffing ‘Dalton
McGuinty? He’s not up to the job,’
and it may have helped them, be-
cause the Liberals lost the election.
New Democrat premier Bob
Rae, who preceded Mr. Harris, was
generally pictured in a neat blue
suit, looking earnest and sincere, as
if he had the weight of the world on
his shoulders, which may have
been partly an attempt to convince
skeptical businesses his govern-
ment could be sober and restrained.
But the best-known pictures of
him came when he was found to be
something of a pianist and song-
writer and this produced novel pic-
tures of him, on and off TV, tieless
and in shirt sleeves, playing and
singing. It was also, because politi-
cians lose no opportunity to help
themselves, an attempt to soften his
image.
Liberal premier David Peterson
was photographed so often at the
theatre, ballet and book launches in
tuxedo and red cummerbund that
opponents scoffed at him as On-
tario’s equivalent of the popular TV
series, ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and
Famous,’ when many were needy,
and this helped lose him an elec-
tion.
The most celebrated picture of
Tory premier William Davis was
taken a few months after he took
office in 1971 and entered Ontario
Place a changed man. His short-
back-and-sides Brampton haircut
and baggy brown suits were re-
placed by stylish long hair and
sideburns, double-breasted jacket
and wide tie.
Mr. Davis was never said to
have charisma, but as he stepped
into the amphitheatre students pro-
pelled by the pop star craze of the
age rushed to surround him and he
used the picture in his election
leaflets.
At his right shoulder was a trust-
ed young aide, David MacLeod,
who became a Hollywood produc-
er (he was a cousin of Warren Beat-
ty and Shirley MacLaine) and 27
years later a fugitive on sex
charges, the only former aide to an
Ontario premier ever to be on the
FBI’s most wanted list. He was
found dead in a chilly Montreal
street with a can of lighter fluid he
had been drinking beside him.
Mr. Harris is not going to share
quite the same fate, but he must
worry the picture of him likely to
be most remembered shows a rum-
pled, cigar-smoking golfer in Flori-
da in baggy shorts.
Premier anything but picture perfect
Cigar-smoking shot will likely come back to haunt Harris

Trustees back away
from tough issue
Contract talks an important and
necessary part of the job
YOU SAID IT
The question was:
Is Durham Region doing enough to
encourage diverting garbage from landfill?
Durham District School Board trustees have taken another
step toward making themselves obsolete by voting to stay off
bargaining committees.
The Province took the lead several years ago when it re-
duced the number of boards, trustees and trustee salaries. Now,
trustees can only be paid a maximum of $5,000 per year when
in past years they used to make several times that amount. But
now, less than three months after the last election, trustees in a
6-5 standing committee vote have chosen to sidestep the tough,
crucial role of bargaining with the board’s thousands of teach-
ers. The vote, at the committee level, will go to full council for
debate and vote on Feb. 19.
The 6-5 vote saw all three Oshawa trustees, Kathleen Hop-
per, Susan Shetler and Cynthia Steffen support the motion
along with Ajax rep Melinda Crawford and Pickering’s Paul
Crawford. New Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers made the
motion. Mr. Demmers’s rhetorical question to his fellow
trustees was, “Do you have enough time to do the work?” His
motion was his negative answer. He was backed up by long-
time Trustee Hopper who pointed out the board formerly had
20 trustees for fewer students, that salaries for trustees have
been cut and that, with many trustees having part-time jobs and
children, they just don’t have the time needed for bargaining.
In defence of remaining a part of the bargaining process,
Whitby Trustee Doug Ross urgently argued trustees reconsid-
er. The board’s employee groups, “want to know their elected
officials care enough to know what they want to say.”
He added, “The time you should have decided the workload
was too great was before the election.” Fellow Whitby Trustee
Elizabeth Roy who said, “The negotiating teams do want us
there”, supported him. Uxbridge-Brock Trustee Nancy Lo-
raine, who had been leaning with the majority, had a change of
heart. It was left for student trustee Chris Skinner to put it in
plain language. It’s “borderline ridiculous” to give up on ne-
gotiations the Port Perry High School student said.
Ajax Trustee Jennifer Bridge and Pickering’s Marilyn
Crawford also voted to remain on the bargaining committees.
Trustees are the voice of the people, the democratically
elected representatives at the bargaining table. If they drop that
important responsibility, the question of whether they are nec-
essary has to be raised. On Feb. 19, just one changed trustee
vote would keep our representatives on the bargaining com-
mittees. We urge each of those who voted ‘Yes’ to ignoring
bargaining, to seriously reconsider.
Heather
MacDonald
said,“I think
they’re trying to
do something.
It’s a very diffi-
cult issue. It
would probably
be better if more
people recy-
cled.”
Adam Strong
said,“No, I
don’t think they
are. You don’t
see much incen-
tive from the Re-
gion. There are
also those ru-
mours about
charging per bag
pickup, which
don’t help.”
Kelly Wilson
said,“They’re
not doing
enough. There
should be no bag
limits. Every
family is differ-
ent. I think most
people today re-
cycle as much as
possible.”

NEWS ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY EDITION, February 7, 2001 PAGE 7 P
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
The achievements and history of
black Canadians are being celebrated
this month in schools across Durham
Region.
“I’m really pleased to see the level
of importance our teaching staff puts
on this month,” said Lewis Williams,
ethnocultural and race relations officer
at the Durham District School Board.
“When we learn some of the history
we weren’t taught as children, it in-
creases respect for other groups.”
In 1979, the Ontario Black History
Society successfully petitioned the
City of Toronto to proclaim February
as Black History Month. They did so
year after year until 1995, when Feb-
ruary was declared Black History
Month across the country.
Various activities are taking place
in local schools to mark the month.
Storyteller George Blake will pay a
visit to Bayview Heights Public
School in Pickering Feb. 12 and con-
duct a drumming workshop.
On Feb. 27, Rosemary Sadlier,
president of the Ontario Black History
Society, will give a historical speech to
students at Dr. Roberta Bondar Public
School in Ajax.
At Pine Ridge Secondary School in
Pickering, members of the board’s
Students Together Against Racism
(STAR) club will be making an-
nouncements over the school’s public
address system, quizzing students and
providing relevant information.
Robert Cutting is the consultant for
English as a second language/ English
literacy development for the Durham
Catholic District School Board.
He said Scarborough resident
Robert Small’s poster featuring fa-
mous black Canadians was ordered for
every board school and will be
“prominently displayed.” More than
that, the poster will become “a spring-
board” for discussion in classrooms,
as students learn more about promi-
nent people such as Scarborough MPP
Alvin Curling and cowboy, rancher
and former slave, John Ware.
Students Preventing Ignorance and
Racial Intolerance Together (SPIRIT)
groups are leading many activities in
local Catholic schools. In October, 75
students from 10 elementary schools
attended a SPIRIT Camp in Whitby,
intended to produce school leaders in
promoting ethnocultural equity and
harmony.
At one of those schools, St. Isaac
Jogues Catholic Elementary School in
Pickering, Mr. Cutting says SPIRIT
group students will be putting on a
puppet show for primary students, a
multicultural retelling of the ‘Cin-
derella’ story with a black heroine.
Mr. Williams said it’s important for
teachers to look for ways to enrich the
curriculum for blacks and other ethnic
groups throughout the year, not just
for Black History Month.

tion on other upcoming events.

Hills are alive with sound of Pickering girl’s music
Lisa Manis heads to Stratford for eight-month role as Brigitta Von Trapp
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
PICKERING —Whether belting out
a stirring rendition of ‘O Canada’at hock-
ey games and civic functions or singing
and acting in a theatre production, Picker-
ing’s Lisa Manis is at home on the stage.
And, being under the bright lights has
been a big part of the precocious 11-year-
old chanteuse’s life since she started tak-
ing singing lessons at age six.
Over the past several years, Lisa can
claim to have ‘been there, done that’,
making her mark as both a singer and as
an actress.
Among her long list of vocal accom-
plishments is singing the national anthem
at a host of community events, as well as
at numerous Ontario Hockey League
games, and singing — and winning — a
number of awards in musical competi-
tions, all of which have culminated in the
next –– and most ambitious –– chapter
of her young career set to take flight this
month.
Lisa landed a part in the cast of ‘The
Sound of Music’ to be staged at the ven-
erable Stratford Festival beginning in late
April.
After attending four auditions in
Toronto, the personable youngster won
the role of Brigitta Von Trapp in the eight-
month-long production of the beloved
Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.
“I was jumping for joy when I got the
part,” said Lisa, who tried out for the part
against literally hundreds of other hope-
fuls.
“I know it’s a good part. I just love the
music.
“I’m anxious to get started. Every day
seems like a week. I’m so excited, but I’m
definitely going to miss my home, my
friends and my family.”
She and her mother, Karen, leave for
Stratford Feb. 23 with rehearsals for ‘The
Sound of Music’to begin Feb. 26. Mother
and daughter will live in that city and Lisa
will attend a French immersion school
during the play’s run.
The rehearsal period continues into
April, followed by previews later that
month with the production running until
early November.
Lisa said she was instantly mesmerized
by the Stratford Theatre when visiting for
costume fittings.
“I was absolutely overwhelmed with it.
It’s so big and it’s so amazing,” she said,
adding all the costumes, right down to the
jewelry, are designed on the premises.
Another dream is coming true for Lisa
later this month.
‘I’m anxious to get started.
Every day seems like a
week. I’m so excited but I’m
definitely going to miss my
home, my friends and my
family.’
-- LISA MANIS
On Thursday, Feb. 22, she’ll sing the
national anthem prior to the National
Hockey League game featuring the Toron-
to Maple Leafs against the Vancouver
Canucks at the Air Canada Centre.
She was chosen from approximately
500 would-be soloists to sing ‘O Canada’
after the Leafs put out a call for anthem
singers last October.
Lisa was too young within the rules of
the contest, but was allowed to audition
anyway. The net result is she was chosen
as one of 10 soloists to perform at a Leafs
home game.
“I was really surprised that they picked
me,” said Lisa.
“Maybe it was because I was the
youngest there. I’m really going to have
to prepare for this one. It’s really big. I
know that I won’t be nervous. I’ll be more
excited than anything.”
Mrs. Manis said it was ironic her
daughter was chosen as an anthem soloist.
At the urging of St. Michael’s Majors’ of-
ficial, John Mills, Mrs. Manis contacted
the Leafs on several occasions about hav-
ing Lisa try out as an anthem singer. On
those occasions, she was politely re-
buffed.
“It was the irony of ironies that she
would be picked,” laughed Mrs. Manis.
Lisa’s foray into singing the national
anthem at hockey games goes back to
when she was eight.
Her uncle had asked the OHL’s
Kingston Frontenacs on her behalf (her
cousin, Michael Zigomanis, is the captain
of the Frontenacs) and she was finally
given the opportunity.
Since then, Lisa has sung 18 times at
OHL games, including those of the St.
Michael’s Majors.
Last month, Lisa finished a three-
month engagement in ‘Peter Pan’ at the
Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre
in Toronto.
She played two roles, that of a ‘lost
child’ and the grandchild of the story-
teller, played by ‘Mr. Dressup’ Ernie
Coombs.
The pantomime, which included lots of
audience involvement, was a lot of fun for
the entire cast, said Lisa.
“It was so funny, and a lot of fun to
do,” said Lisa, a Grade 6 French immer-
sion student at Holy Redeemer Catholic
School.
She’s grateful to all the excellent train-
ing she received here in Pickering. She
started out receiving vocal training by
Jean McDonald and went on to do choral
and solo work.
She also studied both tap and jazz
dancing with Durham Dance in Pickering,
where she still receives lessons each
week.
She’s also performed several times in
productions of the Pickering Players com-
munity theatre troupe over the years.
“To do musical theatre, you have to do
all three (dance, sing and act),” said Lisa.
“And, you have to sing and dance before
you can act.”

PICKERING —The Dunbar-
ton High School Spartans senior
team had to work overtime to cap-
ture the ‘silver’ championship at
the annual Father Goetz High
School Hockey Tournament this
past weekend.
The Spartans were one of 40 of
the top teams in Ontario to com-
pete at the annual hockey classic in
Toronto, reported to be one of the
biggest high school tournaments
of its kind in North America.
Dunbarton went undefeated
throughout the tournament, rack-
ing up six wins, including edge-of-
your-seat victories in the semifinal
and final games. Six teams quali-
fied for the championship games,
which were broken into ‘gold’,
‘silver’ and ‘bronze’ contests. The
Spartans qualified for the ‘silver’
final against Toronto’s Chaminade.
With the game ending in a 3-3
tie, the championship contest pro-
ceeded to three sudden-death over-
time frames before the Spartans
were able to claim the victory. The
third overtime period consisted of
three-on-three play for five min-
utes, two-on-two play for three
minutes and, finally, one on one.
At that point, Spartans’ coach Bill
Dalliday pulled his goaltender for
an extra attack. The move paid off
as Scott Billings netted the winner.
Kevin Crawford scored two
goals in regulation time for the
Spartans. Geoff Stewart was the
other goal getter. Assists went to
Shawn Cooper with two, and
James Follett, Darryn Dubeau and
James Cummins, all with one.
Crawford was named the most
valuable player of the tournament
and received a pair of Bauer 5000
skates for his efforts. Meanwhile,
goaltender James Snetsinger was
named the outstanding player of
the final game.
Dunbarton moved into the final
after defeating De La Salle from
Toronto in a semifinal game that
also went to extra time. After dead-
locking at 2-2 in regulation time,
the teams proceeded to overtime, a
shootout and finally a sudden-
death shootout before Ken Stevens
scored the winner to give the Spar-
tans a 3-2 victory. Snetsinger was
outstanding in net throughout the
heart-stopping overtime and
shootout. Stewart scored both
Spartans’ goals in regulation time,
with an assist to Matt Wyles.
In the quarter-final, Dunbarton
remained in the hunt after a 3-1
victory over Our Lady of Lourdes
from Guelph. Brent Dalliday,
Stevens and Billings scored for the
Spartans, with assists to Brad
Binns with two, and Dave Lewis
and Ryan Thorpe with one apiece.
The Spartans opened the tour-
ney with a narrow 2-1 win over St.
Michael’s College from Toronto.
Follett and Billings scored for
Dunbarton, assisted by Crawford,
Cooper and Cummins. Snetsinger
was outstanding in preserving the
victory.
Dunbarton, however, had a sig-
nificantly easier contest in Game 2
with a 10-2 victory over Holy
Cross from Peterborough. John
Porter and Crawford each notched
a hat trick to lead the way. Dalli-
day, Stewart, Cooper and Thorpe
chipped in with single markers.
Assisting were Dalliday, Billings,
Cooper and Thorpe with three as-
sists apiece, Steve Burnett with
two, and Aaron Calder and
Dubeau each with one. Goalie Dan
Sharpe got the start and earned the
victory.
With first place in their pool on
the line, the Spartans responded
with a 5-1 win over Father Bres-
sani from Woodbridge in Game 3.
Crawford and Dalliday scored
goals in the opening minute of
play to send the Spartans on their
way to the win. Crawford would
add two more goals to record the
hat trick, while Billings recorded
the other tally. Assisting were Dal-
liday and Burnett each with two,
Calder and Brandon Gifford with
one apiece. Sharpe earned the win
in net.
The Spartans — ranked fourth
in GTA high school hockey teams
— will suit up for one more tour-
nament, at York University, before
proceeding to the Ontario Federa-
tion of Schools Athletic Associa-
tion playdowns in Burlington
March 21 to 25.

Heading to the hoop
Seventh would
be anything
but heaven
for Panthers
With regular season done,
Pickering must play waiting
game for playoff opponents
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING — While
the Pickering Boyer Pontiac
Panthers can be happy with
getting four out a possible
six points in junior hockey
action last weekend, it’s the
two points that got away that
may yet haunt the club as
the playoffs loom.
The Panthers scored an
impressive 4-3 overtime vic-
tory over the Waxers in
Markham Friday night.
They closed off the week-
end, and their regular-sea-
son campaign, by routing
the visiting Durham Huskies
9-1 at the Pickering Recre-
ation Complex Sunday
night. On Saturday, howev-
er, the Panthers dropped a 5-
4 decision in Durham.
The loss may yet have a
profound effect on the Pan-
thers’ post-season fortunes.
Currently, the Panthers (21-
19-7-2 for 51 points) sit in
fourth place in the OHA On-
tario Provincial Junior ‘A’
Hockey League’s South
Conference standings. A
win would have guaranteed
the Panthers fourth place in
the conference. The loss,
however, means the Pan-
thers could slip to as low as
seventh place in the stand-
ings depending on how the
Ajax Axemen, Oshawa Le-
gionaires and the St.
Michael’s Buzzers do in
their remaining games.
And, seventh place holds
with it some rather grave
consequences. It means the
team that ends up in seventh
in the South Conference
would cross over to play the
strong Couchiching Terriers
in the North Conference.
“We didn’t seize the op-
portunity,” explained Pan-
thers’ assistant coach Norm
Rogers. “We’re schedule-
watching now. I don’t think
any team wants to finish in
seventh place.”
The murky post-season
picture will become clear
after regular-season play
concludes tonight, Wednes-
day. The Panthers could start
their opening-round series
as early as Friday evening.
The Panthers atoned for
Saturday’s loss to the lowly
Huskies with Sunday’s thor-
ough victory on home ice.
The game also came with
several firsts for Panthers’
players. Rookie defenceman
Sean Bradley recorded his
first-ever junior hockey
goal. Meanwhile, forward
Ian Haywood recorded his
first junior ‘A’hat trick.
The rout over Durham
was never in doubt as the
Panthers played a full 60
minutes to record the lop-
sided victory.
Also scoring for Picker-
ing were John Buscema and
Garett Winder each with
two, and Kyle Aitken with a
single. Assisting were Doug
Carr, Mike Cuzzolino, Brent
Chandler and Matt Christie
each with two, and Bradley,
Alex Greig, Kevin Rogers,
bantam ‘AAA’ call-up Brett
McConnachie, Colin Jen-
nings, Alex Pavloski,
Winder, Dan Schofield and
Daryl Lloyd, all with one.
On Saturday, the Pan-
thers fell behind and weren’t
able to recover against the
Huskies, winners of only six
games entering the tilt.
Suffering from some let-
down after Friday’s emo-
tional win over Markham
and a long bus ride delayed
by mechanical problems
while en route to Durham,
the Panthers fell behind 5-2
after the opening 40 minutes
of play. Pickering recovered
in the third by scoring two
goals in the first two-and-a-
half minutes of play, but was
unable to score the equaliz-
er, despite firing 20 shots at
the Durham netminder.
“We came out flat in the
first period. We dug too big
a hole early and we proba-
bly took them for granted,”
assessed Rogers of the loss.
Schofield scored twice,
Lloyd and Winder added
single markers. Assisting
were Carr with two, and
Haywood, Christie, Winder
and Schofield, all with one.
In one of the team’s better
efforts this season, the Pan-
thers surprised the Waxers.
The contest was marked by
a heroic, gutsy performance
by team leader Robbie
Colangelo. The forward was
hit in the face by a puck
midway through the second
period. Despite being in ob-
vious pain, Colangelo re-
fused to leave the game.
After the contest, he was
taken to Markham hospital,
and later referred to North
York hospital where he un-
derwent surgery on a broken
jaw.
“You could tell he was in
a lot of pain, but he wouldn’t
say that he was,” said
Rogers. “Every time I asked
him about it, he said ‘I’m
fine, I’m fine’. That leader-
ship got everybody going
because they knew how
much pain he was in. He
kind of dragged the kids
along with him.”
Sadly, Rogers says
Colangelo will probably be
lost to the club for the re-
mainder of the season.
Christie, with his second
of the contest, scored the
game winner for Pickering
at the 3:46 mark of the five-
minute overtime frame,
pouncing on a rebound after
a shot by Aitken.
Schofield and Aitken also
scored for the Panthers. As-
sisting were Christie and
Winder each with two, and
Schofield and Aitken with
one apiece.
The goaltending of
Bobby Poposki was also
pivotal to the win over
Markham as he made sever-
al outstanding saves in the
first period to allow the Pan-
thers to escape the opening
20 minutes with a 1-0 lead.

nen led Dickson with a game-high 18.

Diving for the ring
A Pickering tween ‘A’player (in white) and a
Mariposa player dive for a loose ring during
Pickering Ringette Tournament action at the
Pickering Recreation Complex this past
weekend. Teams from across Ontario and
Durham Region took part in the annual event.
The Pickering petite ‘A’ team
won a silver medal at the Picker-
ing Ringette Tournament on the
weekend after a heartbreaking
loss to Ajax.
In the final, Pickering built up
a 3-2 lead with less then four
minutes left in the game, but
Ajax never quit and went on to
win 5-3.
Pickering started the tourna-
ment with a convincing 11-3 vic-
tory over North Bay. Scoring for
Pickering were Jess McNair with
three goals, Christina Plank with
two, and Cassandra Abel, Nicole
Blake, Heather Bowes, Kelly
Rauhut, Natalie Pozzan and
Shannon Martell with singles.
Pickering then beat Stratford
and Jordan, both by 3-2 scores.
Goaltender Jacqui Lee McGarry
was outstanding as both oppo-
nents stormed the nets to try and
tie the score. Bowes had three
goals, Plank two and Kristen
Poirier one.
Also playing on the team
were Megan Hutton and Jessie
Kay.

It is estimated that there are over 75,000
heart attacks in Canada each year. In 1995 (the
latest year for which statistics are available
from Statistics Canada) 22,000 Canadians died
from heart attacks. Heart disease and stroke is
Canada’s leading cause of death. In Canada, it
claims on average more than 1,500 lives each
week, for a total of over 79,000 people annually.
Heart disease and stroke account for 36% of all
deaths in Canada. Heart disease and stroke is
also the most costly disease category in Canada,
accounting for more than $19 billion each year
in medical costs, lost production and lost wages.
Many people do survive a heart attack.
Heart attack victims have a far better chance of
survival if they seek medical attention AS
SOON AS chest pain, which is not relieved by
rest or nitroglycerine, occurs. Over 80% of heart
attack patients admitted to hospital survive.
In recent years the rate of death among
patients hospitalized for a heart attack has
dropped from 16 per cent to 8 per cent.
Stroke is the 4th leading cause of death in
Canada and the leading cause of adult neuro-
logical disability. 60% of stroke victims will be
left with a disability.
There are about 50,000 new strokes
reported in Canada annually. Close to 300,000
Canadians are stroke survivors, living with an
increased risk of a subsequent stroke.
A stroke survivor has a 20% chance of hav-
ing a recurrent event within 2 years. 1/3 of
stroke victims are under age 65.
After age 55, the risk of stroke doubles
every 10 years. Stroke is the leading cause of
transfer from hospital to long-term care.
The rate at which Canadians undergo
carotid endarterectomy (a surgical procedure to
remove fatty deposits from the arteries carrying
blood to the brain) varies from 1.3 per 100,000
in Newfoundland and Labrador, to 13.2 in
Quebec. There are 234 CT scan units in all of
Canada.
CT scan is essential if “clot busting” drugs
are to be used in the treatment of ischemic
stroke.

BY BRIAN McNAIR
Staff Writer
There were no real
losers after the M & M
Meat Shops Skins title
match Sunday at the Os-
hawa Golf Club.
While Kevin Martin’s
Edmonton rink left with the
trophy after downing Peter
Corner’s Hamilton team in
the final, Corner walked
away with more cash from
a weekend that showcased
eight of the country’s top
curling teams for some 750
fans. The Glenn Howard
team, which includes Pick-
ering residents Richard
Hart and Collin Mitchell,
lost in the semis to Corner.
Martin won the champi-
onship game $18,200 to
$16,800, clinching it by
taking a $4,200 skin in the
sixth end, but Corner took
home $28,800 in all, to
Martin’s $26,400.
“It doesn’t mean we won
the skins because we lost
the game,” Corner conced-
ed afterward. “We really
wanted to win the bonspiel.
That was our
goal, but second
place with the
money we won
wasn’t too bad.”
Martin, a two-
time Canadian
champ and 1999
Skins winner,
struggled through
his first two
matches — wins
over Allan Ly-
burn in the west-
ern quarter-final
and Jeff
Stoughton in the
semis — but put
everything to-
gether in the
final.
When asked
what brought
about the change,
he said, “No idea.
“I really enjoy
skins games,”
added Martin. “I
guess I came out
with the right
frame of mind —
to have some fun
with the crowd,
which we did. I
just felt better for
some reason, just
felt ready to go.”
The skins for-
mat is designed
to generate of-
fence, as the team
with the hammer
needs to take at
least two points
to win the cash
and the team
without the ham-
mer must steal at
least one. Money
not claimed car-
ries over to the
next end.
It made for a
number of im-
pressive shots
throughout the
weekend, espe-
cially from Cor-
ner, who stormed
back for a win
over defending
champ Wayne
Middaugh in the
quarter-final and
destroyed Glenn
Howard in the
semis. Howard’s
rink defeated
Guy Hemmings
in their first
match, and
earned $4,900 on
the weekend.
“I thought I
made a lot of
good pressure
shots for the
guys,” said Cor-
ner. “I’m glad the
fans had a good
time because it
means a lot to us
to put on a good
show.”
But Martin’s
rink was simply
too much for
Corner’s team in
the final.
He won
$1,400 in the first
end, but took
control with a
$12,600 purse in
the fifth end,
which included
carryover money
from the previous
two ends. He
then clinched the
win with a steal
in the sixth.
“I think it was
a good team effort,” Martin
said. “Earlier on, the guys
were kind of carrying me
through, but I think all four
of us played well in the
final.”

Week highlights essential nature of white canes
The Canadian National Institute for
the Blind (CNIB) is focused on raising
awareness about the issues and chal-
lenges facing blind or visually im-
paired Canadians during White Cane
Week from Feb. 4 to 10.
“When you meet a person who is
blind or visually impaired, the key
word is person, not blind,” said Dr. Eu-
clid Herie, president and CEO of the
CNIB. “It’s important to remember
that people who are blind or visually
impaired are individuals who do the
same things as people who are sighted,
they just use different techniques
sometimes.”
The CNIB reports people who use
white canes are no different from any-
one else.
“Their white canes are essential
tools for travel, so they can get around
safely on their own. But, there are still
misconceptions about the white cane
and the thousands of people who use
them,” states a news release.
The CNIB’s Durham branch reports
displays highlighting White Cane
Week, which was started by a group of
blind people in 1947 to raise aware-
ness about what the white cane repre-
sents, will be exhibited at local li-
braries throughout the week.
“The next time you see someone
with a white can think about what their
life is like and how the white cane al-
lows them to be independent in their
daily lives,” the institute notes.
For more information about events
taking place during White Cane Week,
contact the local CNIB office at (905)
436-7732 or visit a Web site at
www.cnib.ca.
