PACT, PESCA ask
City for help in
covering OMB
legal expenses
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —Two local
community groups have asked
council to cough up $20,000
for half the cost of defending
both the City’s and citizens’po-
sition at an upcoming Ontario
Municipal Board (OMB) hear-
ing.
But, very little public debate
on the matter was heard Mon-
day as both councillors Bill
McLean and Mark Holland
failed to collect the two-thirds
majority required to get the re-
quest in front of council.
Sylvain Trepanier, president
of the Pickering East Shore
Community Association
(PESCA), told councillors his
group and the Pickering Ajax
Citizens Together for the Envi-
ronment (PACT), which both
have standing at the June 10
OMB hearing, would probably
be facing up to $40,000 in legal
costs in their fight against the
Pickering Harbour Company
(PHC).
PHC plans to build 66 town-
houses on marina lands at the
south end of Liverpool Road
and move the boat cleaning and
maintenance side of the marina
across to the east side of Liver-
pool.
Twenty-six of the homes in
the plan would front Liverpool
and PHC plans to make eight of
those with commercially con-
vertible ground floors to ac-
commodate shops and restau-
rants.
The City, which plans to
turn the area into a tourist node,
has asked that all 26 homes
fronting Liverpool be commer-
cially convertible and no others
be built, leaving the marina
maintenance and cleaning op-
eration on the west side of the
street.
While defending the City’s
position 66 townhomes would
deter tourism in the area, PACT
and PESCA also maintain
building a development that
large would have a devastating
impact on the environment in
and around the bay.
“All we ask is that council
match what is being paid by the
community,” said Mr.
Trepanier. “Twenty-thousand
dollars for legal fees and expert
witnesses... it’s worthy of the
investment.”
Mr. Trepanier asked that
council make a quick decision

groups
Durham youth meet to break down barriers
BY NICOLE MILLION
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM ––Young peo-
ple from across the Durham
Region came together recently
to discuss barriers they face in
their communities.
Approximately 80 high
school students gathered at the
Ajax Community Centre to
participate in the United Way
Youth Workshops entitled
‘Sharing our Dreams, Building
a Vision Together’. The work-
shops, which also included
teachers, parents and youth
service providers from
Durham, came together to
identify root causes for the bar-
riers preventing young people
from fully participating in the
communities they belong to, as
well as forming project groups
to develop strategies to over-
come these barriers.
“We’re hoping to bring in
different sectors to talk about
the barriers affecting youth,
and to have a full integration of
young people into the commu-
nity,” said Paul Pakyam, chair
of the youth vision committee
for the United Way.
“It’s important to get our
voices heard,” said Marla Wal-
ters, of St. Stephen’s High
School in Bowmanville.
Andrea Gray, also from St.
Stephens, agreed. “We want to
get a better awareness of youth
activities,” she said.
Mr. Pakyam admitted he is
amazed at how many young
people attended. “We now have
an opportunity for youth to tell
us what problems they feel
they are facing.”
“This is a time when we can
all congregate, and for it to be
a milestone to a better commu-
nity,” said Tony Tie, an Ajax
High School student.
Barb Fannin, volunteer and
youth co-ordinator for the
United Way, is pleased with
how the day went.
“We had a good representa-
tion from both the young and
old population. So far is has
been successful.”
When asked why such a day
is important, Marla explained
it is to give people a better
sense of what youth are and
what stage they are in.
“It helps to better our youth
status, and to take down the
view that we’re all bad.”
Andrea believes the work-
shops were a great way to ex-
press the views and concerns
of the youth community.
“More people will be aware
of the issues that are going on
with youth,” said Andrea.
Mr. Pakyam said he hopes
the students will take away a
better understanding of the
problems they face and the
many avenues they can take to
prevent them.
Ms. Fannin echoed these

High school ‘sex clinic’sparks further debate
Durham public
board votes 6-4
to support ‘wellness
centre’
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Public
school board trustees flung
barbs at each other Monday
night as they discussed the
Wellness Centre at an Oshawa
high school.
But, in the end they reaf-
firmed their commitment to the
centre in a 6-4 vote.
Some residents at the May
21 Durham District School
Board meeting branded the
centre at G.L. Roberts Colle-
giate and Vocational Institute a
“sex clinic”, arguing birth con-
trol pills and condoms are
being dispensed to students
without parents’ knowledge,
although the ministry and
board curriculum teaches ab-
stinence.
The Oshawa Community
Health Centre (OCHC) oper-
ates the centre, leasing space
from the board for $1 a year. It
opened to students early last
year and offers a wide-range of
services.
“The G.L. Roberts Wellness
Centre is not a sex clinic,” Os-
hawa schools superintendent
Sally McIllveen said at the
board’s standing committee
meeting Monday. “That state-
ment, made by individuals who
are not the parties who attend
the clinic, is inflammatory.”
At the trustees’ request, she
presented a report showing
what services are offered there
and how the clinic came to be
in the school. Several trustees
applauded when she finished
speaking.
However, other board mem-
bers maintain housing a health
clinic in a school is “prece-
dent-setting” and trustees
should have been involved in
the decision. The board’s se-
nior administration, not
trustees, made the call early
last year.

Province’s four-part bill
doesn’t guarantee
passage of necessary
legislation
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The University of
Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)
is back in the queue, but there’s no guar-
antee the legislation required to make
the Oshawa university a legal entity will
be passed before MPPs adjourn for the
summer.
Dianne Cunningham, minister of
training, colleges and universities, last
Thursday introduced the four-part Post-
Secondary Education Opportunity Act,
2002, reintroducing bills that had re-
ceived first reading in the last session of
the legislature, including the University
of Ontario Institute of Technology Act,
2002.
Peter Hardie, executive assistant to
MPP Chris Stockwell, the governing
Tories’ house leader, said in an inter-
view Friday the spring session of the
legislature is slated to end June 27 and
the house is to reassemble for the fall
session Sept. 23.
“There are a number of other bills
that have priority over that,” he said.
Mr. Hardie said the current session
of the legislature was shortened because
of the Tory leadership campaign and
noted whether the act will be passed in
the next month is not a sure thing. He
did not know when it would be brought
forward for second reading.
“What we’re going to need for this
one (to be passed in this session) is co-
operation,” said Mr. Hardie.
The act to establish the university
would have been passed in December if
all three political parties had agreed to
bypass second reading and the commit-
tee process and move directly to third
reading. However the New Democratic
Party, while not opposing the bill in
principle, did not favour passing the leg-
islation without debate.
Peter Kormos, NDP house leader,
said in an interview the government
could have brought the original act for-
ward for second reading, but instead has
made the process more difficult by in-
troducing a four-part bill.
“The government introduced an om-
nibus bill this time, which is inherently
more difficult to deal with because it
covers more disparate ground,” he said.
“Quite frankly, an omnibus bill is more
contentious with all oppositions than the
original bill.”
Mr. Kormos said the government is
going to have to be “prodded to move
along here, one bill or the other.
“For the constituents involved, I
hope this government calls this for sec-
ond reading as soon as possible. The
government has to establish its priori-
ties; either Durham is a priority or it
isn’t.”
Gary Polonsky, UOIT and Durham
College president, in an interview said
he is “certainly hopeful and yes, cau-
tiously confident” the act will be passed
by the end of the session.
“The government is aware that it has
announced (the UOIT) over a year ago,
that we are expected to be a major solu-
tion to the double cohort...,” he said. “I
believe that leadership and common
sense will prevail.”
Mr. Polonsky expects it to be differ-
ent this month than it was in December.
“The NDP has told us they will not
be obstructionist this time around, we
have that in writing,” he said. “We truly
accept that they are people of their
word, so I’m feeling at peace about that
as well.”
Mr. Kormos defended the party
against the claim they were “obstruc-
tionist” in December, saying, “it’s our
job to debate.” He said Mr. Polonsky
was not helping matters with the re-
mark.
“I’m sure that Mr. Polonsky would
not want to be responsible for this bill
being delayed,” said Mr. Kormos.
Mr. Polonsky said UOIT has hired its
entire leadership team, chosen an archi-
tect and done a lot of other work to get
ready for September 2003.
“It’s fair to say the non-passage of
the bill in December has not slowed us
down,” he said.
“But if that happens again, it will
slow us down to the point that we will
not be ready for the double cohort in
2003.”
A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002
sentiments, adding the youth in atten-
dance at the workshops were able to
eloquently express their concerns.
“We found a lot of talent here
today. These kids have a good handle
on what the community is lacking
when it comes to youth concerns,” said
Ms. Fannin.
“This was a step to getting people’s
voices at the table.”

DURHAM —The public school
board’s special-education committee
wants trustees to break the piggy bank
to ensure adequate funding for stu-
dents next year.
The Special Education Advisory
Committee (SEAC) made the request
to trustees at Monday night’s Durham
District School Board standing com-
mittee meeting.
“We are here
to tell you that
the need for spe-
cial-education
supports and ser-
vices has not di-
minished or re-
mained static; it
continues to
grow,” said
SEAC represen-
tative Cindy
Mitchell.
SEAC is call-
ing for 40 more
educational as-
sistants to make
up a shortfall in
high schools and
to cover 68 high-
needs students it
knows are enter-
ing kindergarten
this fall. As well,
SEAC said the
board needs
more special-ed-
ucation resource
teachers in ele-
mentary schools
and academic re-
source teachers
in high schools
to support ex-
ceptional stu-
dents placed in
regular class-
rooms. The committee is also calling
for no reduction to special-education
facilitators.
In a report accompanying the first
draft of the board’s budget, business
superintendent Ron Trbovich said the
board did not receive $5.5 million in
‘intensive support amount’ (ISA),
special-education funding he said it
proved it needs but has not received
from the Province.
Mr. Trbovich in the report said the
board in this year’s budget would
continue its $2 million subsidization
of special education.
In an interview he said the money
the board is owed would “absolutely”
meet its special-education needs.
First draft of budget
shows $4.2 million
shortfall; elimination
of 13 positions
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s public
school board has a $4.2-million shortfall
for the coming school year and will like-
ly rely on reserve money to balance the
budget.
Ron Trbovich, the Durham District
School Board’s business superintendent,
presented the first draft of the 2002/03
budget at an education finance commit-
tee meeting. It identifies the cutting of
13 staff positions, including two admin-
istrative officers, and employee wellness
and maintenance programs, together to-
talling $830,000. Mr. Trbovich said in
an interview the draft document “pro-
tects all the areas of the budget, mainte-
nance, special education, everything”,
but the board is still short of funds. He
said the rainy day has arrived to use the
board’s $2.5 million in reserves.
“The only reason I would contem-
plate that is in the knowledge the fund-
ing formula will be reviewed with re-
spect to its adequacy and fairness,” said
Mr. Trbovich.
The Education Ministry recently an-
nounced a review of the funding formu-
la that boards say does not provide
enough money. The review is to be
completed this November.
Mr. Trbovich said the board needs $1
million from the Province to maintain its
$2-million subsidization of special edu-
cation, $650,000 to fund its Internet
learning program, $300,000 to cover
salary hikes that take effect in 2002 and
$600,000 for increased employee bene-
fit costs. The board also requires $1.7
million to avoid relying on its working
reserve fund to once again balance the
budget. He plans to “come up with some
options for the board to consider” at the
next budget meeting on June 11 at the
Education Centre in Whitby.
But unlike the Toronto District
School Board, which last week passed a
motion refusing to make further budget
cuts until the funding formula review is
finished, the public board has no plans
to challenge the Province in that matter.
Boards are not permitted by provincial
legislation to run budget deficits.
“There’s no way we would be con-
sidering a deficit budget; we’ll find a so-
lution, that’s our job,” said Mr. Trbovich.
Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn
Crawford said in an interview while she
doesn’t believe the funding formula re-
view will result in more money for
boards, “we have to try our best to bal-
ance our budget.”
She said she “admires Toronto for
what they’re doing”, but suggested they
will not be successful.
“My own feeling is it’s not good
enough for one board to do it,” said
Trustee Crawford. “If we’re going to do
it we all have to do it. If it’s going to be
effective it has to be all the boards.”
Referring to a report presented to
trustees Thursday night, she noted the
board’s shortfall does not take into ac-
count $5.5 million in ‘intensive support
amount’ funding the board feels it qual-
ifies for but has not received from the
Province.
“We’re probably going to have to
look at draining the reserves, or a good
portion of them anyway,” said Trustee
Crawford.
“It is being looked at,” board chair-
man Elizabeth Roy said of using reserve
money. She expressed concern doing so
wouldn’t be responsible because pru-
dence dictates there should be some-
thing left in the bank in case of unfore-
seen emergencies.
Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper
said she believes “there’s nothing left”
to cut in the budget and expects a rec-
ommendation from Mr. Trbovich to use
up its remaining discretionary reserves
— even though that goes against tradi-
tional board practice and thinking.
“The philosophy all along has been
(maintain) five or six million in re-
serves,” she said in an interview. “That’s
changed. I can only think Ron knows
what he’s doing. I think he’s going to
drain the reserves to meet the shortfall,
but I don’t know.”
The finance committee invites the
public to make budget deputations at its
June 11 meeting in Room 2007 of the
education centre. Call Cindy Benn at
905-666-6402 to schedule a presenta-
tion.

given the hearing is next Monday.
But, the community group’s request
came too late for any councillor to fol-
low the normal procedure of notifying
council two weeks in advance of any
motions.
To accommodate the 11th-hour re-
quest, Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Holland asked for leave to introduce a
motion, which would allow it to be
heard if two thirds of council agreed.
His request was denied as council-
lors David Pickles, Dave Ryan, and
Mayor Wayne Arthurs voted against it.
Coun. McLean then introduced a simi-
lar request asking that approved fund-
ing for legal fees the groups did not use
in a 1998 OMB hearing regarding a
waste transfer station on Notion Road
be redirected to them now.
However, councillors Ryan, Pick-
les, Rick Johnson and Mayor Arthurs
voted against hearing the motion.
Coun. Pickles said he voted against
hearing the motion because he had
hoped to deal with the matter behind
closed doors.
“I wanted it discussed in-camera,”
he said in an interview Tuesday. “It
was my intention to have a debate on
the matter, I hadn’t made up my mind
yet. I just thought since it concerned
our legal strategy it was best done in-
camera.”
Council did go in-camera following
the discussion, but Coun. Pickles said
the matter never came up.
While Coun. Holland admitted it
would probably be too late for PACT
and PESCA, he did give a notice of
motion regarding the funding, which
council will likely hear and debate
later this month.
portant enough to come to us?” Pick-
ering Trustee Paul Crawford asked.
He doesn’t doubt the centre meets
a need in the community, but said the
decision to approve it “should have
been run by us”.
Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen
asked education director Grant Yeo if
trustees would be consulted when
school space is leased.
“Not necessarily,” he replied.
Mr. Yeo said the partnership with
the OCHC “is within the philosophy
and values we have in this board”.
Trustees are entitled to change the
board’s values, he added.
“I would think anything as prece-
dent-setting as a health clinic in a
high school is trustee business,” said
Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler.
She motioned the board strike a
committee to look into the board’s
leasing agreements and policies.
However, that sparked some fire-
works.
“I find it appalling that we would
be thinking of putting together a
committee and the real issue is birth
control pills,” said board chairman
Elizabeth Roy.
“It’s about individuals who believe
birth control should not be given out,
and condoms.”
A committee is not needed, she
said, adding, “if trustees would go
into their schools they would know
what’s going on in their schools.”
“Trustees are being verbally
abused by the chair(man),” Trustee
Steffen responded.
She said the committee should
have been struck before the clinic
started.
Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper
said trustees criticizing the process of
approving the centre “is definitely
micromanagement.
“I think there is sort of a hidden
agenda here and it doesn’t have any-
thing to do with the wellness clinic.”
Student Trustee Brandon Reeve
said he agreed with trustees Hopper
and Roy.
“The public and the students are
not blind; they realize there is a dif-
ferent issue behind this; to deny it is
ridiculous,” he said.
Trustee Shetler said the clinic in
the school represents “two conflict-
ing agendas,” those of the education
ministry and the health department,
and it is appropriate to sit down and
look at the board’s property leases.
“That is our role, and that is what
we should be doing,” she said.
Trustee Shetler agreed personal
agendas are involved, saying they are
getting in the way every time the
board discusses important business.
Her motion was defeated. Trustee
Doug Ross then moved the original
recommendation from former Os-
hawa superintendent Kaye Egan sup-
porting the partnership with the cen-
tre.

Funeral services
held for Terry Ryan
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Funeral ser-
vices were held today in Os-
hawa for Durham Regional
Police Association President
Terry Ryan, while the man
charged with impaired driving
in the veteran officer’s death
was freed Sunday on bail.
The 55-year-old constable,
who began his career with the
Pickering police department a
year prior to the 1974 creation
of the regional force, was
killed in a head-on crash
Thursday in north Whitby.
A police funeral with full
honours was scheduled to take
place this afternoon at
Kingsview United Church,
with thousands from Ontario’s
law enforcement community
expected to attend.
Mr. Ryan, the popular asso-
ciation leader who colleagues
said “gave his heart and soul”
to the service, was northbound
on Lakeridge Road when his
car collided with a southbound
van police allege crossed the
centre line.
Mr. Ryan, who was return-
ing to his Oakwood home and
was off-duty, leaves his wife,
Carol, two sons, Kevin and
Jamie, and three grandchil-
dren.
The van’s driver suffered
injuries that were not life-
threatening and was taken to
Ajax and Pickering Health
Centre, where he was arrested
by police.
He was discharged from
hospital Sunday and
charged with impaired
driving causing death,
dangerous driving
causing death and ex-
ceeding the legal limit
of 80 mgs of alcohol
per 100 mls of blood,
police said.
Following a hearing
in Oshawa court, Scott
A. Webb, 37, of
Georgetown, was re-
leased by a justice of the peace
on $20,000 bail with condi-
tions to stay in his residence
except for employment or at-
tending court.
Other terms include he not
consume alcohol or drive. He
is scheduled to appear in court
June 14.
Meanwhile, an Ajax
woman officers were speaking
to as a potential witness at the
crash scene was herself arrest-
ed and charged with impaired
driving.
Police allege she was trav-
elling behind the van prior to
the fatal collision and that

Thousands pay respects to police association president
both drivers had just left a
“social function” at a near-
by golf club.
Mr. Ryan was in his
third term as Durham po-
lice association leader and
represented 900-plus uni-
form and civilian person-
nel.
He was also current
chairman of the Ontario
Police Association.
Gun, knife,
bat used in
robberies
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
PICKERING ––A teen struck
with a bat in a forest, a 19-year-old
jumped at a bus stop, a 17-year-old
threatened with a knife, and a 20-
year-old with a gun pointed at him
were all victims of weekend street
robberies, police say.
Durham Regional Police said
thugs were brandishing weapons in
three of four city muggings, although
no one was seriously hurt in any of
the attacks.
The 20-year-old, who had just
withdrawn money from a bank, was
getting into his car in the lot at 1360
Kingston Rd. at 1 p.m. on Friday
when a man opened his passenger
door, pointed a gun, snatched his wal-
let and fled.
The suspect was described as
black, 20-years-old, 5-foot-6, 180
pounds, with his hair in cornrows and
wearing a bright yellow T-shirt and
black jeans.
About 5:20 p.m. Saturday a 19-
year-old man was jumped and robbed
of his wallet by two suspects at the
bus shelter at Kingston and Whites
roads, police said.
Nearby a short time later officers
spotted two youths who matched the
suspect descriptions and they were ar-
rested following a foot chase, police
said.
Armand Pavel Puiu, 18, of Edge-
wood Place, Pickering and a 17-year-
old, who police said was talking on a
cellphone when arrested, are both
charged with robbery.
On Sunday, three assailants wear-
ing ski masks, one armed with a
knife, robbed a 17-year-old boy of his
cash and cellphone in the area of
Dixie Road and Finch Avenue about 1
a.m., police said
And, at 2:30 a.m. another 17-year-
old walking through a wooded area at
Dellbrook Avenue and Denby Street
was hit on the arm with a baseball bat
and struck in the head when he fell to
the ground, police report.
Three attackers took cash from his
pockets. The victim was not hurt.
GM sales

DURHAM ––May was a great
month for car and trucks sales for Gen-
eral Motors of Canada.
The automaker announced it deliv-
ered 58,162 vehicles last month, up 21

May than in any other month in our his-
tory. We had our best May since 1989.
And, we sold more cars in a month than
we have since June 1991. At this rate,
2002 could be our best year in the past
decade.”
During May, GM also learned Os-
hawa’s No. 1 car plant, which makes
the Buick Century and Regal, earned
the 2002 J.D. Power gold quality award
for the best quality among all assembly

mium mid-size cars. Sales of the car
were up 47.2 per cent during May, with

while truck sales are up 14.8 per cent to

My name is Marjorie Garst. I live with my
husband John. I am a homemaker and
mother of four. I volunteer as a foster
mother for newborn babies. I lost a
remarkable 71 pounds in eight short
months without dieting. I went from a
chubby size 20 to a trim size 10! This is my
true-life account of genuine, lasting weight
loss success.
I had read the hypnosis’ ads for months.
Frankly, I was skeptical. It seemed too
good to be true. Then I saw a special report
on the News. It featured folks who had quit
smoking and dropped weight with hypno-
sis. One lady said she lost over 90 lbs. She
said hypnosis made it simple. That got my
attention.
I honestly didn’t think the people
in the ads were real until I
saw it on the 11:00 News.
Now it’s happened to me
and I have my own true
story to tell.
Embarrassed and
Ashamed
I dreaded my year-
ly visits to the doctor. My
weight was climbing at a
rate of ten or more pounds a
year. It was dangerous for
me to gain weight. My
blood pressure and choles-
terol were sky high. My
joints were stiff and ached
constantly. I could barely
lift myself out of a chair. My health was in jeop-
ardy. Yet I couldn’t stop eating. I
was out of control.
I was a career snacker. I sat on
the sofa, watched TV and ate. I
sat at the kitchen table, read the
newspaper and ate. When I fed
my foster babies, I fed myself
too. I lived on sweets and soda
pop. Food seemed to have some
mysterious power over me. I ate
all day. With every expansion of
my hips and thighs my self-con-
fidence withered. I was embar-
rassed, shy and reserved.
Dieting was the most confusing and frustrat-
ing experience of my life. Diets made me crave
and binge. The only way I lost weight was by
starving myself. I lost ten pounds once. Then I
gave up and my weight came right back plus ten
pounds more. My self-esteem was demolished.
Immediate Results
I was nervous when I called for the appoint-
ment. I didn’t want to be pressured. The free hyp-
notic screening was a wonderful surprise. My
consultant was genuinely interested in me. The
high-pressure sales pitch never happened. She
explained hypnosis in a relaxed, entertaining way.
She went over the guarantee. I was impressed. If
I couldn’t be hypnotized, I would get a full
refund. I had nothing to lose except a lot of fat. I
signed up.
My new eating habits started immediately after
my first session. My hunger
pangs disappeared. My
taste for soda pop van-
ished. I found myself
craving healthy foods.
Fruits and vegetables tast-
ed different. It was like my
taste buds came alive.
One day I was walking
through the grocery store. I
marched right past the bakery, candy, chips and
soda without a glance. That’s when I was con-
vinced. Hyp-
nosis had com-
pletely changed
my taste.
Doctor’s
Delight!
My last visit
to my doctor
was a thrill!
My doctor nod-
ded his head
with delight.
He confirmed
my 71-pound
weight loss. For the first time in my life my blood
work and cholesterol are normal without pills!
I feel fantastic. No more aches and pains. No
more cravings or binges. Best of all, hypnosis
eliminated dieting for good!
Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effort-
less. I know I will never gain the weight back. All
the changes are permanent. I have a whole dif-
ferent way of thinking about what I put into my
body. I never feel deprived.
Self-Confidence Soars!
When I was overweight I was
extremely withdrawn. Some
days I hardly spoke a word. I
thought everyone was judging
me. My self-worth was zero.
When the weight
came off I felt better about
myself. Hyp-
nosis
helped me relax. I gained a feeling of inner peace.
I knew I was back in
control of my life.
One Sunday my minister asked me to stand up
in church to announce how much weight I had
lost. After the service folks surrounded me to ask
how I did it. I was completely comfortable chat-
ting away with them. I couldn’t believe it was me!
So relaxed! So confident! There are now seven
members of our church using hypnosis. Includ-
ing my husband, John! He’s already lost 30
pounds!
My entire family has changed thanks to hyp-
nosis. My son lost 22 pounds. My 83-year-old
mother lost 18 pounds. We’re saving money on
our food bill every week. What a bonus!
Twenty Years Younger
I thought I’d never wear a bathing suit again.
On the 4th of July I gazed at myself in the mirror.
I was wearing a sexy black and purple one-piece
suit. I loved what I saw! I wore
it that day and many days
since. The best day of my life
was spent filling two giant
boxes with fat clothes I’ll
never wear again.
People say I look
twenty years younger.
They wonder why
I’m always smil-
ing. I have
tons of ener-
gy. I’m
light on
my feet.
I have a
social life! I
owe it all to the power of
hypnosis.
Invaluable!
My results at using
hypnosis are invaluable to
me. That’s why I’m sharing
my story with you. I
believe in hypnosis. I’m
certain you’ll be as
thrilled as I am. I know
because I’ve met lots of other
folks who are getting results like
mine. They’ve shed 50, 60, even 90 pounds with
ease.
Call Now and Schedule your hypnotic screen-
ing. It’s absolutely free and there’s no obliga-
tion. Ask about their no-risk guarantee. You’ll
be glad you did. If your evaluator doesn’t think
hypnosis is for you, she’ll tell you so.
I know how much it hurts to be over-
weight. I’ve been there. If you have a weight
problem, don’t put it off. You’ll probably just
gain more weight. Do what I did. Call 905-686-
7717. Hypnosis worked for me. It can work for
you. Call now.

The way we were
Old Home Week c. 1961
In 1961, the Town of Ajax celebrated its 20th an-
niversary as a community during ‘Old Home Week’.
Sponsored by the mayor and council, invitations were
sent to all Ajax ‘old-timers’, especially encouraging
any who had moved away to revisit the town and see
the progress it had made in the previous 20 years.
The theme of the week, ‘Powder to pencils to
progress’, depicted the town’s birth from the Defence
Industries Limited shell-filling plant in 1941 to a seat
of education for the engineering students of the Uni-
versity of Toronto in 1945, and finally to the planning
of Ajax as it stood at that time.
The Ajax Kinsmen Club has sponsored annual
community events such as sports day competitions
since the 1950s and played an important part of the
1961 celebration. Its 1971 project was the forerunner
of Ajax Home Week, the 2002 version of which begins
this Saturday, as we now know it.
Photos supplied by the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee
on behalf of the Ajax Community Archives. For more information
about either, please call Brenda Kriz at 905-619-2529 ext. 343.
The Paul Martin dismissal/resignation was actually a
long time coming. For years now, even going back before
the November 2000 election, Mr. Martin’s and Prime
Minister Jean Chretien’s supporters have not seen eye-to-
eye. Mr. Martin has eagerly waited in the wings for the
PM to decide to call it a day, while Mr. Chretien, who
takes personal credit for winning three straight majori-
ties, feels it is his decision alone when he retires. It was
a stalemate that would produce no real winners, only
losers.
The question becomes, what will Mr. Martin’s re-
moval from cabinet mean to the federal government and
opposition? The larger issue is how Mr. Martin’s cabinet
leaving will impact the country.
For nearly a decade, Mr. Martin was the ideal No. 2
man to Mr. Chretien. He spoke with class and dignity,
had no skeletons in his closet, and showed his ability by
helping eliminate the deficit, marshalling huge tax
breaks for citizens and businesses and leaving the econ-
omy in much better shape than he found it.
To businessmen and financial leaders in government
and out, whether in Canada or outside, Mr. Martin was
the face of the Canadian government, not Mr. Chretien.
Mr. Martin’s sudden departure is a major blow to Cana-
da on the international stage. It only diminishes us
around the world.
For Mr. Chretien, the decision is puzzling. He can’t
help but see Mr. Martin as his successor — really, it’s not
a matter of will Mr. Martin be prime minister but when.
It now seems clear Mr. Chretien intends to lead the Lib-
erals, whether they like it or not, into a fourth federal
election in two years’ time. Fighting a battle against Mr.
Martin while trying to deal with the Canadian Alliance,
Bloc, Conservatives and NDP would seem a tall order in-
deed.
The Martin fiasco also falls hot on the heels of the fir-
ing of Defence Minister Art Eggleton, the resignation of
Brian Tobin, and a lacklustre loss of two byelections in
seats in Windsor and Newfoundland that the Liberals had
held for decades.
The polls show a serious loss of confidence in the Lib-
erals and suggest for the first time in years the Alliance
is starting to make progress.
Mr. Chretien is hypocritical if he blames Mr. Martin
for wanting a chance to lead. The PM has only to look to
1986 when, frustrated at losing the Liberal party leader-
ship to John Turner in 1984, he quit and then worked to
push the leader out.
Mr. Chretien won the leadership in 1990 beating... Mr.
Martin. Certainly, Mr. Martin, who has served his leader
for 12 years, has been much more loyal than Mr. Chre-
tien ever was to Mr. Turner. Obviously, that’s lost on Mr.
Chretien, who may now be writing his own grim epitaph
as PM.
It’s clear only the Liberals can beat themselves, but
infighting takes the focus off the important work minis-
ters must do for us.
Liberal mess
only hurts country
Ongoing leadership battle between
Martin, Chretien must be resolved
P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002
Proud members of
Premier Ernie Eves is trying to
show he is a moderate and gentle
guy at heart - but will anyone be-
lieve him?
In only a few weeks in his job,
the Progressive Conservative pre-
mier has moved quickly attempting
to demonstrate he is different from
the far-right policies and confronta-
tional style of his predecessor,
Mike Harris.
Mr. Eves’s actions have includ-
ed launching a review of Mr. Har-
ris’s decision to privatize the giant
hydro transmission system, al-
though he still has not ruled out
selling it, and providing protection
for hydro consumers who sign up
for service.
Mr. Eves conceded pay deals
Mr. Harris allowed senior hydro
staff were too generous and consid-
erately agreed to base his law to
protect drinking water on a New
Democrat MPP’s draft bill Mr.
Harris had left to wither and die.
Mr. Eves promised friendlier re-
lations with the Liberal federal
government, which Mr. Harris
could barely speak to politely.
Mr. Eves agreed to a request eye
treatment be covered by medicare
to which Mr. Harris had remained
blind. He rebuked a minister who
said insensitively no one should ex-
pect shelters for the homeless to be
as comfortable as Holiday Inns, a
remark that reminded of Mr. Har-
ris, who once scoffed many live on
the streets by choice.
Most reversals bear Mr. Eves’s
stamp. He pushed changes when
ministers hesitated, as, for exam-
ple, when Energy Minister Chris
Stockwell insisted the Province
should pay bar bills he and his staff
ran up while working
late in the labour ministry. Mr Eves
said the right thing would be to re-
imburse taxpayers, and they did.
Mr. Eves has started talking to
unions and others to whom Mr.
Harris would not give the time of
day and does not sneer at their lead-
ers, who are elected like himself, as
“union bosses,” as Mr. Harris did
until his last day.
Mr. Eves, who faces an election
probably next year, claims he al-
ways has been a pragmatist and
close to the political centre. He
says he is a cross between Mr. Har-
ris and William Davis, the moder-
ate Tory premier from 1971-85.
No premier in memory taking
over an existing government has
changed policies or tone as much
as Mr. Eves appears to be doing, so
there is no precedent as to how his
extraordinary re-birth will be seen
by voters.
But Mr. Eves’s changes will ap-
peal to some. Hard-line right-
wingers who idolized Mr. Harris
will feel Mr. Eves has gone soft on
them, but feel closer to him than to
Liberals and New Democrats and
support him with slightly dimin-
ished enthusiasm.
Some not committed ideologi-
cally to any party, who liked Mr.
Harris for his tax cuts but were
starting to feel he went too far in
cutting services and antagonizing,
will find the type of changes Mr.
Eves has been making enough in-
centive for them to vote Tory again.
This already worries the Liber-
als, who would have preferred to
keep the political centre to them-
selves and fight the election against
a Tory right-winger like Mr. Eves’s
chief rival for leader, Jim Flaherty.
Many voters will not pass judg-
ment until they see how far Mr.
Eves’s moderate approach will go.
He has not indicated for instance
whether he will change Mr. Har-
ris’s laws that weakened labour in
disputes with business, or restore
cuts Mr. Harris made in welfare
benefits or increase the minimum
wage Mr. Harris never raised in
seven years.
But Mr. Eves’s shift to modera-
tion also carries some risks. A little
over a year ago he was Mr. Harris’s
deputy premier, happily imple-
menting his far-right policies with-
out the slightest dissent.
His abrupt change now makes
him look as if he has no convictions
or principles, which is what his ri-
vals suggested in the leadership
campaign.
A lot of voters will conclude Mr.
Eves is changing his mind merely
to win votes, which is not the way
a premier wants to be pictured
going into an election.
Eves aims to show he’s no Harris
New premier a moderate at heart –– but does anyone believe him?

Column
‘irresponsible
journalism’
To the editor:
Re: ‘Environmentalists should
choose battles carefully,’ Martin
Derbyshire column, May 26.
I’m sorry, but I think he’s
missed the mark. Mr. Derbyshire
is wrong in his description of the
actions of the people trying to
stop the agricultural preserve
from being included in the growth
management study.
He’s commenting on groups
and people he needs to do a little
more research on before making
such statements. And name call-
ing? ‘Tree huggers’ and ‘weed
worshippers’.
Would his comments include
Pickering councillors Mark Hol-
land and Dave Pickles? They are
afraid of the same thing a lot of
people are — that including the
preserve it will open up the door
for it to be paved over.
I think it’s dangerous planning
when developers are allowed to
pave over everything, and leave
nowhere for me and my neigh-
bours’ children to play, or even
walk our dogs.
It bothers me developers are on
campaign contribution lists and
are paying for the growth study. I
want to ensure they aren’t expect-
ing something for it.
I attended the meeting dealing
with the preserve and I’m not
against growth, I’d just like to see
it done better. Mr. Derbyshire’s
wrong to state everyone is against
growth. I just don’t want to end up
like the north end of Markham.
Instead of squashing the aver-
age citizen (as I am) from partici-
pating in protecting our green
space, I think he’ll find he’s only
spurred it on.
He should try the Friends of
the Rouge Web site and get an ed-
ucation before making such dam-
aging statements. It’s truly irre-
sponsible journalism.

Hug a tree,
it’s better than
kissing the
pavement
To the editor:
Re: ‘Environmentalists should
choose battles carefully,’ Martin
Derbyshire column, May 26.
Conservation and preservation
will only serve to ensure the exis-
tence of mankind. So, who is anti-
man? It took over 25 different en-
vironmental groups and many,
many concerned individuals to
protect the Oak Ridges Moraine
from Caledon to Clarington.
Does Mr. Derbyshire even
know why the moraine is so im-
portant? For one, it is essential to
our water supply. He should do
his homework — the agricultural
preserve has already been found
to contain No. 1 and 2 class farm-
land (that’s why it was preserved
in the first place).
At a time when we have raw
sewage dumped into our Great
Lakes, among other things,
ground water contamination
(Walkerton), smog alerts all sum-
mer (less trees, more smog), asth-
ma at epidemic levels, less green
space, fields, wetlands and forest
areas, Mr. Derbyshire is discour-
aging responsible environmental
thinking from the average person?
Having the power of the media, he
should be encouraging some ac-
tion from the average people.
Instead of condemning envi-
ronmentalists we should all be
thanking them. Mr. Derbyshire is
the irresponsible dangerous one
and the one who should be
stopped.
I’d rather be hugging a tree,
than kissing the pavement. I’m
going to join my local environ-
mental group today.

TOOLS NOT TOYS
Remember to keep matches
and lighters out of reach of
children, and although some
lighters have c hild resistant
safety devices, this does not
mean that they are child proof.
It only takes a few moments for
an unsupervised child to gain
access to lighters or matches;
and the consequences can be
deadly.
The moment you take to
educate your children about the
dangers of fire may be the
moment that you save their
lives.
OUTDOOR
FIREPLACES -
USE PROHIBITED
Outdoor style fireplaces
currently sold in the Pickering
area such as the “Back Yard
Max” (a steel firebox with a
screened opening and short
vent stack) and the “Chiminea”
(a large clay fire pot with an opening for a fuel load and a short
vent stack) should not be used in the City of Pickering.
These units have been designed to be used as open-air burning
appliances. Open air burning is not permitted within the City of
Pickering and is enforceable under Ontario Fire Code Article
2.6.3.4.
Concerns regarding the use of these devices include: injury to
persons coming into contact with the appliances hot surfaces,
fire exposure hazards from sparks/embers for both the users and
neighbors property and adjacent trees, grass and weeds. The use
of these devices will also generate needless alarms for the City of
Pickering Fire Services.

fund-raising boost
PICKERING —Talk
about a big effort.
Pedal power, and plenty of
funds, ruled the day recently as
13 Pickering teams took part in
a local Big Bike for Stroke

Staff members at Westcreek Public School in Pickering used pedal power in the Picker-
ing Town Centre parking lot as one of 13 local teams to raise nearly $35,000 for heart
and stroke research. The bike makes its way to Ajax later this month.

AND PSYCHO FISH
DURHAM ––Liberal MP
Alex Shepherd says the courts
need to send a stiff message to
criminals profiting from mass-
production marijuana grows.
The Durham MP and 16
other federal legislators got an
“eye-opener” from law en-
forcement officials last week
during a briefing on the recent
proliferation of residential
pot-growing operations plagu-
ing the province.
Officers from Durham Re-
gional Police, OPP and other
Ontario forces met with MPs
in Ottawa for a presentation
organized by Mr. Shepherd.
Mr. Shepherd said until re-
cently he was not aware of the
size of the problem.
Police have shut down more
than 70 sophisticated drug
homes in Durham alone this
year, while other forces in the
GTA are reporting similar
numbers.
Police say each hydropon-
ics lab yields an annual cash
crop of between $1 million
and $2 million and that profits
far outweigh the risk of getting
caught.
“I didn’t know how signifi-
cant the problem was until I
started investigating,” said Mr.
Shepherd, adding he was
prompted by concerns voiced
to him recently by firefighters
and real estate agents.
Police say labs siphon
power from illegal under-
ground hydro hookups, which
pose a risk of explosion to un-
suspecting firefighters enter-
ing a home in the event of a
blaze.
Several house fires have
been sparked by residential
labs.
Mr. Shepherd said the
forum included discussion
about the biohazardous danger
to children living in the
homes, the need for tougher
sentences as a deterrent and
the violence associated with
the drug business. Three re-
cent murders in Ontario have
been linked to indoor marijua-
na grows.
“It was quite an eye-opener.
It is a significant problem that
has exploded in our communi-
ty... It’s a blight on the com-
munity,” Mr. Shepherd said.
“One of the concerns raised
was sentencing” and the need
to “send a stronger message to
the judicial system,” he said.
Typically, convicted mari-
juana growers in this region
receive six to 12 months’ jail
time but in the U.S., mass pot-
production is treated as a “se-
rious crime with serious con-
sequences,” said Mr. Shep-
herd.
He suggested stiffer terms
and larger fines would put a
dent in the billion-dollar busi-
ness, which police say is more
profitable than the forest in-
dustry.

PICKERING, AJAX, WHITBY ANIMAL SERVICES
There are compelling reasons to make this choice! Your pet will be healthier
and happier, and you will be saving lives.
Many people just aren’t aware that there is an overwhelming and tragic pet
over population problem. Last year alone, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal
Services took in 658 stray and homeless pets - an increase of 27% over the
previous year. Far too many of these pets do not find a new home and
family. There are just not enough good homes for the numbers of animals
being born. And because people aren’t aware of the problem, they often
allow their own pets, either accidentally or on purpose, to add to the crisis.
Of course, all baby animals are adorable and it is hard to accept that these
little miracles of life could bring anything but joy into the world. Sadly, the
reality is that for every new pet baby born one more potential home is taken
away from the hundreds of already born homeless animals waiting and
hoping for a second chance.
Your pet will be better off too! An altered pet is a more content, gentle and
affectionate pet. And an altered pet is a healthier pet, less likely to get
mammary or testicular cancer, less territorial, no messy heat for females,
and males less likely to wander in search of the ladies. By far the majority
of pets hit by cars are unneutered males!
Please help us end the pet overpopulation tragedy. Make an appointment
with your vet today!

DURHAM ––Learn all
about bicycle safety at an up-
coming ‘Headsfirst’ education
session.
Safe Kids Week runs this
week across Canada. To mark
the week everyone is invited to
learn about bicycle safety at a
Headsfirst education session
today, June 5, from 6 to 9 p.m.
at Kids Safety Village, 1129
Athol St., Whitby.
Headsfirst is a bicycle hel-
met use and safe cycling pro-
gram which educates cyclists
aged 18 and younger. It is co-
ordinated by the Durham Re-
gion Health Department and
the Headsfirst Bicycle and Edu-
cation Coalition. The program
enforces bicycle helmet laws,
as outlined in the Ontario High-
way Traffic act, and provides
bicycle education as an alterna-
tive to attend court for not
wearing a helmet while cycling.
“Normally these sessions
are limited to individuals under
18 who have been given notice
by police for not wearing a hel-
met while cycling. We’ve found
there’s a great interest from the
community and we’re inviting
everyone to attend this special
session,” said Joan Segal, a
public health nurse with
Durham Region Health Depart-
ment.
According to the health de-
partment, 51 hospital-
izations occurred in
Durham in 2000 due to
bicycle-related injuries
with 60 per cent of the
hospitalizations occurring to
youth under the age of 20. In
2001 a survey found Durham
residents are aware of safe cy-
cling practices, and 72 per cent
of youths age five to 17 always
wear a bike helmet.
For more information on
Headsfirst contact the Durham
Region Health Department at
905-723-8521 or 1-800-841-
2729, ext. 3147.

lected by the Durham Regional
Police Services Headfirst infor-
mation line at 1-888-579-1520

BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM - It has never been
more expensive to get a post-sec-
ondary education. With tuition fees
skyrocketing, the demand for expen-
sive yet necessary books, computer
software and laptops requires big
bucks.
With federal and provincial gov-
ernment cutbacks on funding to uni-
versities and colleges, institutions
of higher learning have no choice
but to raise tuition fees. Although
Canadian post-secondary education
is still relatively inexpensive com-
pared to what it is in the United
States, it is becoming financially
difficult for the average student to
realistically afford a quality educa-
tion.
A recent survey by the United
Nations committee charged with de-
termining whether or not Canada re-
mains in compliance with the UN’s
International Convention of Eco-
nomic, Social and Cultural Rights,
sums it up.
“The average student debt at
graduation seems to have almost
tripled since 1990,” reads question
59 of the survey. “What steps are
being taken to ensure that post-sec-
ondary education remains equally
accessible to all, regardless of in-
come?”
Time will tell. Student loans, bur-
saries, grants and scholarships can
help. But even the most brilliant
scholars, whose parents are well off,
have to think about climbing costs
let alone clothing, recreation, enter-
tainment and transportation. Costs
can really jump if students live away
from home to attend school when
accommodation, food, telephone
and return travel also have to be fac-
tored in.
What is a ‘poor’ kid to do? For
many students, the first step is sim-
ple. Get a job.
Easier said than gone. If students
didn’t have their resumes into
Durham Region municipalities at
the beginning of the year, they’re
out of luck this summer when it
comes to working for their home-
town governments.
The Municipality of Durham Re-
gion, for example, has hired 128
students for summer work with only
a few positions left at two of the Re-
gion’s homes for the aged.
“Applications should have been
in by January-February,” confirms
Pat Robinson, corporate communi-
cations manager for Durham Re-
gion. “Students usually send them in
during their reading week and we
began looking at them in March, al-
though they’re (the students) not on
strength until the beginning of
May.”
Because Durham Region is so di-
verse, the chance of a student doing
summer work in the same area as his
field of study is good. Legal, health,
social work and public works are
but a few of the departments Ms.
Robinson says can offer students
much-needed income, and a chance
to gain some practical experience.
The deadline for summer job ap-
plications at General Motors in Os-
hawa was also last March.
“It looks like we are hiring any-
where from 300 to 400 students,”
says GM spokesman Richard James,
“for the June-September timeframe.
“They’re essentially vacation re-
placements for our employees when
they take their vacations,” he says.
“The types of jobs differ throughout
the organization, obviously, but es-
sentially, the vast majority of them
are operator positions with perhaps
some administrative positions ... the
vast majority are operator jobs in
the assembly plants.”
Enter Kim Sorlie and her team of
summer employment officers - all
students themselves - helping other
students find summer jobs.
“There’s not too much of a differ-
ence from last year,” says the lead
summer employment officer with
Human Resources Development
Canada’s Oshawa office. “It’s pretty
consistent and there may be a few
more jobs.”
Students are welcome to go into
any HRDC office where nine sum-
mer employment officers like Ms.
Sorlie, who was hired by HRDC last
summer, work in five Durham Re-
gion locations: Bowmanville, Pick-
ering, Uxbridge, Port Perry and Os-
hawa.
One of three HRDC’s Student
Summer Job Action initiatives, the
summer employment officers help
students looking for work, especial-
ly those who haven’t worked before.
Working in concert with programs
like wage subsidies offered to em-
ployers who create summer jobs for
students, the employed HRDC stu-
dents help their peers with resumes
and interviewing techniques, trying
to match them up within the pro-
grams.
Ms. Sorlie says there are about
200 placements with employers re-
ceiving subsidies. Applications for
that program had to be in last April
but she’s hopeful about another 100
non-funded jobs will become avail-
able.
But whatever a student’s needs or
plans, she says she and her col-
leagues try to help them find full-
time or part-time summer employ-
ment. “Or we can help them through
the school year,” she says.
All the services provided by
HRDC’s Student Summer Job Ac-
tion program are free. Internet ac-
cess, photocopying and help with
cover letters to go out with resumes,
are offered at no charge at the local
employment offices, formerly
known as ‘Manpower.’
“We can help students throughout
the summer and even during the
school year,” says Ms. Sorlie, who
will be heading back to Hamilton
this fall for her fourth and final year
at McMaster University.
Like her, the gainfully employed
university student says the students
she has seen so far this year are
“very enthusiastic.”
Types of jobs she’s seen filled by
students range from placements in
retail stores, to law offices, to paint-
ing, to cutting grass. “If we don’t
have a job, we will help students to
list their skills and give them infor-
mation on where to go, be it
HRDC’s job bank, the job board (at
one of the area offices or the federal
department’s) Internet Web site. For
those students looking for their first
job, they may be a bit more needy.”
This is where the ‘Odd Job
Squad’ comes in. An employer may
be looking for students to take on a
part-time or even a ‘one-time’ task
but it does allow the student to earn
some money and to add the all-im-
portant word ‘experience’ to his or
her resume.
“Sometimes students are sur-
prised at how much experience they
already have,” says Ms. Sorlie. She
and other summer employment offi-
cers also go into schools to make
presentations.
“We show students what a re-
sume looks like,” she says. “And we
talk about workplace safety and stu-
dent employees’ rights and obliga-
tions. We tell them (students) about
the things they can ask an employer
for to make themselves safe.”

Trojans dominate
regional track meet
DURHAM —Pickering
High School athletes showed
they are on track for the provin-
cial meet after a dominating
performance at the central re-
gional competition in Midland
May 31.
The Trojans team had nu-
merous medal-winning efforts
under adverse weather condi-
tions at the Ontario Federation
of School Athletic Associations
(OFSAA) Central Region
Track and Field Championships
at St. Theresa’s Catholic High
School in Midland.
All told, 17 Trojans finished
in the top four in their respec-
tive events and will continue on
to the OFSAA Track and Field
Championships in Belleville
June 6 to 8.
Leading the Trojans was
team captain Cameron Saha-
dath, who won the junior boys’
110-metre hurdles crown in
14.79 seconds. He also ran to
gold in the junior boys’ 300m
hurdles in 40.40 seconds, win-
ning the event by a two-second
margin.
Sahadath was also part of
the Trojans’ junior boys’ 4-x-
100m relay team that finished
fourth and qualified for

Three Pickering
collegiate athletes
compete at NCAA
championships
PICKERING —Three
Pickering track athletes ran
at the pinnacle of U.S. col-
legiate sports on the week-
end, but only one was on
the podium at the end of
the meet.
Perdita Felicien, a ju-
nior at the University of
Illinois; Anson Henry, a se-
nior at Washington State
University, and Shelley-
Ann Brown, a junior at the
University of Nebraska, all
participated at the National
Collegiate Athletic Associ-
ation (NCAA) Outdoor
Track and Field Champi-
onships at the Louisiana
State University in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.
But, it was the Fighting
Illini’s Felicien who stole
the show as she won the
national championship in
the women’s 100-metre
hurdles with a time of
12.91 seconds.
Felicien is the first Uni-
versity of Illinois female
track athlete since 1996 to
win a national title. It also
represents back-to-back
national titles for the Cana-
dian Olympian, as she won
the 60m hurdles at the
NCAA Indoor Track and
Field Championships earli-
er this year. It’s the first
time in the school’s history
that an athlete has won
both indoor and outdoor
national crowns.
The Pine Ridge Sec-
ondary School graduate, in
a story on the University of
Illinois athletic Web site,
notes she still has an
NCAA record to achieve in
her senior year next sea-
son, although she’s ecstatic
to win back-to-back
NCAA hurdles crowns this
year.
“Tonight was perfect in
that I set out to win an out-
door national title before
the start of the season and I
was able to do it,” she said.
“I really wanted to break
the NCAA record in the

Notre Dame looks
to keep its fairy tale
ball season alive
AJAX —Cinderella is going to the
ball... make that ball tournament in Ot-
tawa this week.
The Notre Dame Catholic Sec-
ondary School Cougars boys’ baseball
team — in its first year of Lake Ontario
Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA)
play — surprised itself as well as the
favoured Pickering High School Tro-
jans 4-1 in the semifinal contest at Port
Hope’s Town Park Monday morning.
Because of time constraints owing to
declaring representative teams for the
Ontario Federation of School Athletic
Associations (OFSAA) regional play-
downs, Notre Dame will be one of the
two Durham representatives for
OFSAA play and will serve as the re-
gion’s number-one entry in Ottawa
today (Wednesday).
The LOSSA final will be played
June 14 at a time and location to be de-
termined. Notre Dame will play Bow-
manville High School, which defeated
Courtice High School 12-2 in the other
semifinal at Port Hope Monday.
Playing in the regional playdowns
and beating an established team like
Pickering in the LOSSA playoffs could
only be termed a pipe dream for an up-
start Notre Dame team at the start of the
season. A lot of hard work, a little luck
and, perhaps, some divine intervention
along the way played roles in helping
the Cougars advance, noted co-coach
Greg Kieszkowski.
“The guys are really excited about
moving on. It took a lot of guts to get
this far. Prayer had a lot to do with it.
We said ‘Hail Mary’before every game
and we thought it had a lot to do with
(our success). We asked for any help we
could get and we think we got some,”
noted Kieszkowski.
After Pickering High scored the first
run of the game in its half of the first in-
ning, Notre Dame pushed two runs
across in the bottom of the frame. Mike
Dahiroc scored the game-winning run
on an RBI by Willie Neadles. The
Cougars scored two more insurance
runs in the second inning to seal the
deal.
Chris Papalia sparkled on the mound
to earn the win.
The Cougars will play in one of four
regional tournaments against Golden
Horseshoe league champion Notre
Dame from Burlington, Toronto Dis-
trict league champion Northern Colle-
giate, National Capital league champ
Hillcrest and Capital District runners-
up Nepean. Winners in the four region-
al tournaments will vie for the Prentice
Cup at Toronto’s SkyDome June 11.
Kieszkowski said he’s unsure about
the Cougars’ chances in Ottawa, but
he’s sure his team will put up a good
fight,even without the services of pitch-
er and team leader Papalia, who won’t
attend because of another baseball com-
mitment in Oklahoma.
“We’re having a Cinderella season,
so absolutely anything is possible. I’m
confident that you might see us at Sky-
Dome,” he said.

Her victory was a come-from-be-
hind effort as she broke from the
blocks more slowly than she would
have liked, but kept her composure

scholarship to the University of Ne-
braska. She finished fifth in the final
in 13.38 seconds.
Brown finished 14th overall in the
preliminary heats with a time of
13.39, which pushed her into the
semifinals where she finished fifth in
a time of 13.34.
The fifth-place finish in the final was
totally unexpected for Brown.
“My goal at the beginning of the
year week was just to make it into
today’s final,” said Brown in a story
on the University of Nebraska’s ath-
letic Web site. “Placing fifth in the
event is an incredible feeling. I just
didn’t really expect to make it this
far. I’m so happy.”
Meanwhile, Henry, 23, also a
Dunbarton graduate, ran in the men’s
100 metres final at the NCAA cham-
pionships, but a leg cramp decimated
what could have been an outstanding
finish to his collegiate career at
WSU.
Henry finished a disappointing
eighth in the final after he suffered a
cramp 40 metres into the race, run-
ning in a time of 11.16. The time was
also a disappointing one as he had
run much faster in the preliminary
heats and the semifinals. Henry fin-
ished fourth in his preliminary heat in
10.23 seconds and later finished third
in the semifinal heat in a time of
10.25 seconds to qualify for the final.
Felicien also ran the 4-x-100-
metre relay at the NCAA champi-
onships, helping the University of
Illinois women’s team to sixth place.
The sixth-place performance was
somewhat unexpected as the Illinois
women’s team entered the event
with the eighth best time in the na-
tion this year.
NEWS AND NOTES:Brown was
named the ‘Huskers Power Female
Athlete of the Year’ for 2002. The
award’s in recognition of an athlete
who made great strides in athletic
conditioning and training, through
the use of the University of Nebras-
ka’s weight room complex. A series
of tests are conducted to measure the
amount of improvement in each ath-
lete.

‘The power of childhood dreams’
Olympian Daniel Igali
delivers powerful message
to local students
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
AJAX —The man responsible for
an indelible image from the 2000
Summer Olympic Games left an inspi-
rational message of the power of
dreams last Friday afternoon.
The television image of Canadian
wrestler Daniel Igali, fresh after beat-
ing his opponent in the gold-medal
match at the 2000 Games in Sydney,
Australia, running around the Canadi-
an flag and then gingerly bending
down and kissing the Maple Leaf has
endured as a lasting memory for
Canadians.
Two years after his Olympic mo-
ment, the Nigerian-born wrestler, who
immigrated to Canada in 1994 after
the Commonwealth Games in Victo-
ria, B.C., was at Pickering High
School to bring a positive message to
students who packed a gymnasium for
his presentation, part of the Ontario
Amateur Wrestling Association’s
‘Keep sweating Ontario Tour’. His
day also included visits to Sinclair
Secondary School in Whitby and a
Scarborough school.
Igali imparted the message one
would expect to hear: the value of
hard work, dedication and staying in
school and how it culminated in the
pinnacle of Olympic success. But,
mostly, he urged students to follow
their childhood dreams, no matter how
difficult they might be to realize.
“When I was 10 years old, in 1984,
a Nigerian Olympian (wrestler Appah
MacAuley) was speaking to us about
the Los Angeles Olympics. That’s
when my dream of going to the
Olympics took shape. He told us about
20 different foods and you could pick
what you wanted to eat and he flew on
a plane to L.A. I started thinking if I
went to the Olympics I would get to
go on a plane. It was about a plane and
not about Olympics. For 16 years, a
vow I made to myself when I was 10
years old kept me going,” said the
soft-spoken wrestler.
“There was a little voice in the back
of my mind saying that if I don’t go to
(wrestling) practice, I can say good-
bye to the Olympics. So, don’t under-
estimate the power of childhood
dreams.”
Igali’s life story is inspirational in
and of itself: He lived an impover-
ished existence in the Nigerian village
of Eniwari with his grandmother and
21 siblings while his mother and fa-
ther attended university in England.
He came to Canada with $50, while
asking a complete stranger to help him
stay in the country following the Com-
monwealth Games of 1994. All the
while, he had to move away from fam-
ily and friends in Nigeria.
He noted his arrival in 1994
marked a crossroads in his life and it
was far from an easy decision as he
was an African champion in wrestling.
But, the deteriorating political situa-
tion in Nigeria at the time, however,
proved too much to ignore.
“It was a defining time in my life as
I decided to stay in Canada. It was the
only way to improve my life and the
only way to become the person I saw
myself becoming.
“The political situation was unsta-
ble with military rule. There were no
rights and you could easily disappear.
I was a staunch student activist and I
was worried if I went back. I wanted a
university degree and I wanted to be a
better wrestler. I would have had to
give up one or the other in Nigeria. I
did not want to give one up — I want-
ed to do both.”
Igali also noted in life, as in sports,
losing is always more valuable than
winning. He noted along the way to
his 1999 world championship win and
his Olympic gold medal, he had many
disappointments, including placing
11th out of 13 wrestlers at the 1994
Commonwealth Games.
“Losing is something you can take
a lot more out of than winning. It
teaches you a more valuable lesson
than winning; losing is as necessary as
winning,” he said.
He also urged students not to get
caught up in the material world.
“Life is about what you do for oth-
ers and the people close to you. It’s
not about a house, money and cars,”
he said, adding proudly that, despite
his Olympic success, he continues to
live a modest lifestyle, including dri-
ving a 1992 Honda Civic.
Igali constantly gives back to
wrestling and to students whenever he
can. Apart from his current speaking
engagements in Ontario, he also does
weekly school visits in B.C. His phil-
anthropy also includes plans to build a
proper six-room school in Eniwari and
he’s got several Ontario schools on
board to help him raise the necessary
funds.
Following his presentation, stu-
dents asked a series of questions. The
engaging wrestler also took part in a
forum with Pickering High’s ‘Path-
ways to Excellence’ group, which en-
courages student leadership, as well as
a wrestling clinic.
Igali, a Vancouver resident, said he
plans to continue his studies at Simon
Fraser University toward a master’s
degree in criminology. As for
wrestling, he’s preparing to compete
at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
“If I did it once (win gold), I can do
it again. I want to be a two-time world
and Olympic champion; that’s what
keeps me going,” he said.
The messages contained in his pre-
sentation, which drew two standing
ovations, weren’t lost on students.
“I thought it was a very simple
(message) but true,” said Grade 11
student Ricardo Harripaul. “I’m from
a Third-World country, too, and it re-
ally touched me. It’s good to see that
people who are honest and good can
get somewhere in this world.”

PICKERING —The Ajax-
Pickering Dolphins’ new colle-
giate football team got the season
off on the wrong cleat at Pine
Ridge Secondary School in Pick-
ering Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the bantams fell
to 1-1 on the season after a close
loss to Burlington.
The Dolphins collegiate team,
for players 17 to 20 years old,
made its debut in Central Ontario
Minor Football League
(COMFL) play with a 43-0 loss
to the Burlington Stampeders.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins’
bantams gave the Stampeders all
they could handle before falling
by a close 40-36 score.
Bantams head coach Jim
Bardgett noted time was the
enemy of his charges as their
comeback attempt fell just short.
“I’m not disappointed at all
with the team,” said Bardgett.
“We had Burlington worried. If
we had a bit more time we could
have pulled off a win. The boys
know that they can beat Burling-
ton, which is important; most
teams do not score that many
points against them, let alone
nearly win. I’m sure their coach-
es know that they will have a
struggle with us in the playoffs.”
The Dolphins led 16-11 at the
half, but a strong offensive surge
by Burlington put them in the
lead early in the second half.
Both teams, however, took turns
with the lead throughout the sec-
ond half, before the Stampeders
took over for good in the late
stages.
Joe Dublin led the way for the
Dolphins with two touchdowns
and two two-point conversions.
Ryan Bardgett provided a touch-
down and a two-point conver-
sion. Oliver Salmon and
Jonathan Alvarez chipped in with
one major apiece.
Both Dolphins teams are on the
road Sunday, June 9 as the Dol-
phins play Etobicoke Eagles at
Burnhamthorpe Collegiate. The
bantams play at noon, followed
by the collegiate game at 3 p.m.
The next home games are
Sunday, June 16 at Pine Ridge
when the bantams host the
Markham Raiders at noon; the
collegiate squad hosts Markham
at 3 p.m.
AJAX —The Ajax Spartans
mosquito rep baseball team started
its 2002 diamond season with a
gem of an effort against Brighton
recently.
Commencing the season on the
road in Brighton, the Spartans
clobbered the hosts 23-3. The Aja-
cians received strong pitching per-
formances from Raihaan Patel and
Kyle Lewis, who combined for the
win.
The bats were in fine form, with
multiple-hit games by Lewis, An-
drew Ward, Todd Blair, Thomas
Fearon and Wayne Feltham.
Colton Kennedy, Chris Barclay,
Ward, Blair and George Halim
supplied the Spartans with strong
defence. The local mosquitoes also
exhibited speed on the base paths
with Lewis, Blair, Fearon,
Kennedy and Patel stealing multi-
ple bases.

Looking for her Riches
Pickering dancer’s
dedication starting
to pay off
BY NICOLE MILLION
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —A young
Pickering woman is reaching
for the stars.
Krystal Riches has been a
dancer for as long as she can re-
member and has loved every
minute of it. Now, at the age of
20, her love affair is starting to
pay off.
After auditioning for ‘Sing!
2002 — Excite the Night’, a
Vegas-type show with singing,
dancing and a live band, Riches
beat out about 70 other dancers
to earn a one-year contract for
the show, which opened three
weeks ago at Deerhurst Resort
in the Muskoka region.
“Dancing is everything to
me. It’s pretty much my life,”
she said.
According to Riches, the
show has a “little bit of every-
thing”, including songs by
Frank Sinatra, The Beatles and
Britney Spears. “I like it be-
cause it’s entertaining... and it’s
a great workout.”
She admitted the audition
was a little frightening, espe-
cially when they asked her to
sing.
“I had never really sung be-
fore. I mean, I can carry a tune,
but it’s not exactly my strong
point,” she said.
Getting the job was a dream
come true, she said.
“I was really overwhelmed. I
wasn’t expecting to get it...
there were people way more ex-
perienced than me,” said Rich-
es, who’s moved away from
home for the first time, which
she admitted was a little fright-
ening.
“It was kind of weird, every-
thing was so different, but I’ve
met a lot of great people,” she
said.
Riches said aside from the
fun, there is also a lot of hard
work involved.
“The rehearsals were very
intense. We sometimes had 14-
hour days. It’s a lot of work, but
it’s a lot of fun.”
When she looks to the future,
Riches said she still sees herself
dancing, and hopes to one day
work on a cruise line.

BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
DURHAM — One-nighters,
tours, covers, power-pop, imper-
sonators.
The music scene is its own
world. And while there are plen-
ty of people trying to be the next
Rolling Stone or Madonna, some
are carving out a different niche
for themselves.
Ajax-based duo Two for the
Show play about 300 one-
nighters a year, says Rob Tyler,
half of the group. In addition to
its club work, the pair played at
Toronto Rock lacrosse games
and will perform at Ottawa
Renegade games this summer
when the Canadian Football
League returns to the nation’s
capital.
There’s also Not By Choice, a
group of Ajax guys who went to
high school together and are
hoping for a big break, much like
another Ajax band, Sum 41.
Then there’s Bernie Jessome,
a 60-year-old Courtice resident
who’s keeping busy as a Roy Or-
bison impersonator, doing work
with the Legends of Rock ‘n’
Roll show.
Mr. Jessome has been in the
music business for 25 years, hav-
ing his band on the side while he
worked in human resources for
the Port of Toronto.
“I hooked up with the Leg-
ends a few years ago. I always
liked Roy Orbison, so that’s the
artist I chose,” he adds. “I’ve
done my own stuff. I did my own
stuff for 25 years. Legends has
taken me all over the world.
Mr. Jessome says he’s
“blessed” to have the same vocal
range as Orbison, adding, “With
a lot of makeup and dressing, I
can look close to him.”
He’s just completed a tour of
Michigan, and does between 30
and 40 shows a year. He plays
guitar and sings, usually accom-
panied by a five-piece band.
There’s a market for the Leg-
ends-style shows, Mr. Jessome
adds, noting a
play about Buddy
Holly has been
staged in London
for 15 years.
“Shows are
pretty well world-
wide. We get
around. There’s a
fairly high de-
mand for this,” he
states.
Two for the
Show, mean-
while, is “a fun
way to make a
living,” Mr. Tyler
says, whose part-
ner is Allan
Mackay.
The music and
comedy show is
“all I’ve ever
done,” Mr. Tyler
says.
Being in the
entertainment
business isn’t as
easy as one
would think, he
adds.
“Without
blowing my own
horn, I said it re-
ally takes an
enormous
amount of disci-
pline to do what I
do. Nobody tells
us where to be.
We have to be
proactive,” he
says.
“It’s a myth
that you can sleep
in all day. You’ll
be gone in a week
(doing that).”
In addition to the National
Lacrosse League’s Rock, which
played to packed houses at the
Air Canada Centre and the Rene-
gades, the group is also involved
with the Vancouver Indy.
“It’s a challenge when you
leave town,” he says, noting
going on the road “isn’t as easy
as playing a local club. Nothing
ventured, nothing gained.”
He likens it to “swinging at
the ball a lot harder.”
Not By Choice is in the early
stages of what they hope is a ful-
filling career, says Glenn ‘Chico’
Dunning.
He and Mike Bilcox began
playing “power-pop, punk rock”
together about six years ago.
They average four to five
shows a month and they’ll be
playing EdgeFest July 1 at Mol-
son Park in Barrie, an event that
attracts about 35,000 people.
Nickelback is the headliner.
“It sells out every year. There
are 20 bands and three stages,”
Mr. Dunning says. “We did two
dates on the Warped Tour. It’s the
same type of thing (as Edge-
Fest), but it’s more for punk
bands.”
At SkyDome it attracted be-
tween 17,000 and 18,000 people,
while the Montreal show had
35,000.
While still working, he wants
to make music his career.
Mr. Dunning plays lead guitar
and sings backup, while Mr. Bil-
cox plays guitar and sings lead
vocals, A.J. Bovaird is on bass
and Liam Killeen drums.
Mr. Bilcox does most of the
writing. “The songs are all his,”
Mr. Dunning says. “After he
writes the basic song, he sings it
to us and we all add our individ-
ual parts. It makes it that much
better.”
They’ve put out two CDs and
have sold about 2,400 copies in
the Toronto area.
“You can’t make any money
playing other people’s songs. We
think our songs are pretty good,”
Mr. Dunning states.
Could doing cover songs take
away their creativity? “I guess
that could happen, if you don’t
believe in yourself. Doing covers
is cool, but a lot go to shows for
bands they don’t know. They do
covers so they can relate to oth-
ers,” he says. “You can’t do a lot
just doing covers.
“Playing covers is a great way
to start playing better. You can
learn riffs and solos. You can
learn how to play. It’s how we
learned.”
He picked up skills listening
to Green Day and Nirvana.
“You can hone your skills,”
Mr. Dunning says. “If you want
to make it, you have to write
songs. Eventually, you’ll start
writing good ones.”
As for being the next Sum 41,
“we’re trying. Things are going
good. They help us out a lot.
They really put their input in.
They’ve gotten us on some cool
shows. We played with them
twice. In 2000, we opened up for
them. “They helped us get on the
Warped Tour last year. We’re
doing a Canadian tour in Sep-
tember with Sum 41. We’re
opening for them.”
They’ll do 11 shows over 19
days, stretching from Halifax to
Vancouver.
“It’s going to be awesome.
We’re really excited about it,” he
says. “Right now, we’re shop-
ping for a record deal. We’re
using the demos. We’re getting a
good response.”
The group’s next show is at
Jokers in Toronto, although it’s
for people 19 and older.
Rob Power and Ajax Region-
al Councillor Scott Crawford
have their own version of a Two
for the Show. Tabasco uses the
motto ‘Camp fire fun in a bar’
and plays guitars along with pre-
recorded background music.
Mr. Power looks to Two for
the Show, saying “look where
they are. As a recipe for success,
why not look at what they did.”
Mr. Crawford adds, “This is
my job. The other pays the bills.
That’s why I hate playing in
Ajax. I talk to people about their
property taxes.”
They play weekends at the
Puck and Beaver Pub in Ajax
and every Wednesday at the Fox
and Fiddle in Uxbridge.
In addition to music, Mr.
Power works as a comic with
Yuk Yuk’s, doing mostly corpo-
rate events as opposed to club
dates. He’s also a magician and
a disc jockey. Mr. Power goes by
the name Malibu Bob and he
calls himself “an entertainer.
“Our theory has always been
to screw around. This is a little
hobby, the little hobby that
could.” As for how long they’ve
been together, Mr. Power says,
“Too long. Three years. It’s a
project we do off and on. We
took most of last summer off.”
Tabasco hadn’t produced any
promotional material until re-
cently, Mr. Power notes. The
(business) cards are “a conscious
step, to let’s make a go of this for
the summer. See how far we can
go.”
Mr. Jessome has a pretty
good idea of where he’s headed.
“There’s enough of this work
to keep me going,” he says.
Being Roy Orbison is “my
job. I can take on so much work,
but I can’t turn any of it down. I
like to travel and I like doing it.”
With a Legends show, he’ll
do five Orbison songs, but if it’s
the Roy Orbison Story, it’s a
two-how presentation, from his
beginnings to his time with the
Traveling Wilburys.
“A lot of good friends are
doing people still with us and
they’re very good,” he says. “The
Legends are people no longer
with us. People grew up with the
music or are curious. They can
see a person no longer with us.”
Orbison was 52 when he
passed away in 1988.
“If Mick (Jagger) can keep
going, so can I,” he quips.
“This year is shaping up to be
a big year,” he adds, and that in-
cludes a show on June 8 at the
Jubilee Pavilion in Oshawa.
