Pickering vendors on the market Approval for demolition of trade centre won’t allow time for relocation BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING — Although a last-ditch effort could still materialize, the end of the Pickering Markets ap- pears to be near. City council approved the rezoning of the Metro East Trade Centre lands at its meeting Tuesday, allowing First Professional Shopping Centres Limited to go ahead with demolition and plans for several ‘big box’stores. The ap- proval may spell doom for the Pickering institution as several vendors say they won’t be able to survive the move. “They have failed everybody,” said Andy Paine, a markets vendor, in an interview. “They have failed the customers, the vendors and First Pro, because this will be a tainted site; people will remember they forced us out” he said. “The system has failed us. All I can say is I’ll remain open as long as I can.” While it originally appeared Invar Building Corpora- tion would be the markets’ saviour after it applied to build a new home for the flea market in south Pickering, it’s now clear construction on the facility would not be completed before the trade centre’s demolition. Ornella Richichi, senior project manager with First Professional, told councillors the development firm needs to begin demolition by Feb. 1, 2003 to meet the demands of its first ‘big box’ tenant or risk losing it al- together. With the Invar site still in the application stage, the company has said it would be impossible to have the new home ready before the summer of 2003. Arley Karpman, a lawyer representing several hun- dred of the approximately 340 vendors, hoped council would hold off on rezoning approval until a deal could be struck to create a seamless transition from the old Former local teacher faces sex assault charges BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING — A former Grade 2 teacher at a north Picker- ing public school has been charged with sexually assaulting eight students in the late 1980s. David Bruce Field, now living in Barry’s Bay, was arrested yes- terday after turning himself in to Durham Regional Police head- quarters in Oshawa.

Mr. Paine has been a ceramics manufacturer living in Pickering and selling his wares at the markets for the past 28 years. He said he’s never missed a single day in al- most 30 years of weekends at the markets and doesn’t want to start now. “I can’t afford to close for one day,” he said. “I might as well sell my home and my business and get out of here.” The Pickering Markets began at the Sheridan Mall. To make room for a new Eaton’s store and expansion to what is now the Pickering Town Centre, the mar- kets were moved in the mid-1980s to the newly con- structed Metro East Trade Cen- tre. The markets were moved again just a few years ago to make room for the Wal- Mart store. Having been there through it all, Mr. Paine said the moves from the mall and the trade centre site were flawless. Now, without a seamless move he believes many of his colleagues will be forced out of the city and doubts they’ll come back. Mr. Karpman said he would consider appeal- ing council’s de- cision to the On- tario Municipal Board in the hope it may buy ven- dors the time they need, or he may ask First Profes- sional’s new ten- ants to accept a delay. Ward 3 Re- gional Councillor Rick Johnson has asked City staff to investigate the possibility of the markets using the soon-to-be-con- structed third ice pad at Don Beer Arena as a tem- porary home. Chief admin- istrative officer Tom Quinn said anything is possi- ble, but he would- n’t want to disap- point the “3,000 children” in- volved in local minor hockey that the pad has been promised to. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said he would at- tempt to convince Durham council to delay their rezoning approval when it comes up in early October, but admitted that may be a long shot. “(Pickering council’s decision) may not be the end, but the markets have certainly been pushed to the edge of the cliff,” said Coun. Hol- land following Tuesday’s decision. “I don’t know if it can survive the transition.” Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Dan McTeague, speaking at the meeting Tuesday, said he would help the vendors look into a claim that removing the markets is an anti- competitive act under the Competi- tion Act. He admitted, however, his efforts were a “Hail Mary pass”. P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 20, 2002 www.durhamregion.com NO PAY M E N T S NO INTE R E S T For 1 ye a r .

Following an August board meeting, Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler questioned the Durham Dis- trict School Board chairman’s pub- lished remark that she had in the summer e-mailed all trustees about a ministry of education facilitator meeting with trustees. Trustee Shetler said she received no such e- mail and that it was the first time she had heard of a facilitator coming to the board. That meeting did not occur, but in the e-mail, which Trustee Roy provided to the News Advertiser, she stated, “involvement of the Min- istry of Education is also trying to be set up for this trustee meeting, to bring clarification to concerns and questions of trustees.” Trustee Roy, at a Sept. 3 standing committee meeting, called for a public apology from Trustee Shetler if the e-mail record, examined by the board’s system administrator, showed the message was sent. At the time, she said, “essentially the impression I have is that I am being called a liar.” Education director Grant Yeo at Monday’s board meeting said the electronic trail showed the message was sent to all trustees, with the ex- ception of Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen, who had computer prob- lems. “And Trustee Shetler, she did re- ceive it and delete it,” said Trustee Roy at Monday night’s board meet- ing. “The system administrator has proven it was received and deleted.” In an interview, Trustee Shetler maintained she had neither received nor deleted the e-mail. She said e- mailing is not the best method of communication, noting several times there have been problems with the board’s system. “I think a phone call is a good (method of) communication,” said Trustee Shetler. Laura Elliott, the board’s tech- nology and information services su- perintendent, said in an interview she was not aware of any e-mail problems in recent months. She said staff in her department could go into the e-mail files of individual trustees, and in this case, if the e- mail was not there, the assumption is it has been deleted. “There’s nothing that would pre- vent, in terms of our system, for it not to be received,” said Ms. Elliott. She said if an e-mail address was typed incorrectly or an e-mail for some other reason did not reach its destination, the sender would be aware of it. At Monday’s meeting, Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford suggested it was much ado about nothing, and said he objected to Trustee Roy going to the press about the issue. He, too, has said he did not get the e-mail. Trustee Roy said the press had approached her, and that it is noth- ing unusual since she is the board spokesman and interviewed often, especially after public meetings. “If you do not want the general public to know what is going on in the board... than we shouldn’t be in public office,” she said. After a bit more back-and-forth between the two, Whitby Trustee Doug Ross angrily interjected. “(Trustees) should have the courage to come forward instead of doing it behind your back,” he said. “Myself and my constituents are quite tired of this nonsense.” Trustee Ross said some trustees have been “sucking your thumbs” since the last election for board chairman. “Stop behaving like a bunch of lunatics and stop trying to discredit the chairman,” he thun- dered,prompting a burst of applause from the gallery. Trustee Paul Crawford called for an apology, but Trustee Ross re- fused. At that point Trustee Roy yelled “that’s enough,” and picked up the chairman’s gavel for the first time in two years, twice hammering it hard to restore order and compel trustees to drop the matter. In an interview after the meeting, she said the e-mail record provided “definite confirmation”. However Trustee Roy said she would not pur- sue an apology. “I don’t think I’ll ever get one, so I won’t be pursuing it — so, point made.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 20, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P Canadian Passport Photos Rapid Photo Pickering Town Centre 905-837-9232 $699 v i sit us online www.durhamc.on.ca/part-time Durham College Continuous Learning Last Chance to Register!

Course Fee: Course 1 - $39.00, Course 2 - $39.00, Both Courses - $70.00 Although many people have heard “sticks and stones may break our bones but words will never hurt us”, those who have suffered from verbal abuse know that words do hurt and can be as damaging as physical blows to the body. The scars from verbal assaults can last for years. They are psychological scars that leave people unsure of themselves, unable to recognize their true value, their talents and sometimes unable to adapt to life’s many challenges. Many people don’t recognize verbal abuse - especially when it comes from a person they believe loves them. Many of us recognize name calling as verbal abuse, however this is just one of more than a dozen categories of verbal abuse. If you feel there is something wrong with your relationship - it seems like a constant battle ground, you may be waking up to verbal abuse. We invite you to attend this two part seminar to learn more about the verbally abusive relationship and ways in which to respond to it with impact. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY SEATING IS LIMITED.

According to a letter from the Toronto and McMaster universities researchers to the City informing officials of the situation, the E. coli count in the Pickering creek is 6,200 per 100 millilitres of water with a total coliform count of 80,000 per 100ml. Provincial water quality objectives are 100 E. coli per 100ml and 1,000 total coliform counts per 100ml. The group took the samples during a major storm July 22 from a culvert in the creek where Alyssum Street joins Sandy Beach Road. “Very high values of E. coli present in Krosno Creek are consistent with the discharge of raw human sewage into the creek,” the letter states. “The discharge of sewage at a time of heavy rainfall and high flow suggests to us the presence of a combined sewer outfall in the Krosno Creek watershed.” Krosno is one of four major creeks that drain into French- man’s Bay. Researchers are systematically sampling the quality of surface water of all four to identify remedial ac- tion that can be taken to ensure the sustainability of the bay as a recreational and ecological resource. In an interview Thursday, University of Toronto Profes- sor Nick Eyles, who was part of the research team, said a healthy Frenchman’s Bay is only achievable with healthy surrounding watersheds. “The fact that E. coli is pre- sent is a real concern, “ he said. “The source of it needs to be identified and dealt with.” Regional Councillor Mark Holland said the Region of Durham and the City of Pick- ering would be doing further testing to determine the source of the E. coli and to see if the problem persists in the creek. “They tell me that if it were human waste it would be somewhere in the order of 600,000 per 100 ml. We still don’t know what to attribute this to, it could be geese poop, dog poop or any kind of ani- mal feces,” he said. “We must do further study.” Prof. Eyles said the high re- sults from their initial testing prompted him to notify the City, but he agreed further testing needs to be done in several different conditions. MARK HOLLAND ‘We still don’t know what to attribute this to.’ The 46-year-old man was charged with eight counts each of sexual assault and sexual interfer- ence. Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman, said the charges allege female students, ages six and seven at the time, were “inappropriately touched” by the teacher during classes in the late 1980s. A prior police investigation re- sulted in charges that were ultimate- ly stayed, he said. “These are new charges based on the same information” and new alle- gations that have since come to light, Sgt. Malik said. The force’s sexual assault and child abuse unit reopened the inves- tigation last year following a com- plaint from a former student, he said, adding detectives conducted numerous interviews. Mr. Field, now employed by a school in northern Ontario, was re- leased on $5,000 bail following a court appearance in Oshawa. His terms include no communica- tion with the alleged victims and no association with persons under 16, unless in the company of someone older than 21. He is also required to remain away from any parks, day cares, schoolyards or public places where children under 16 are present. A publication ban restricts reporting on the evidence heard at the bail hearing. Mr. Field is due back in court Oct. 18. Conditions put on teacher’s bail CONDITIONS from page 1 The biggest news story in decades has to be the terrorist at- tacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It was so gut-wrenching it makes us want to change the topic to some mundane thing like the weather. Wait a minute — did I say the weather? Has anyone noticed that, aside from Sept. 11 and the issues following it, the biggest news sto- ries in recent years have been about the weather? Remember the floods on the Saguenay and Red rivers? Did you see the TV coverage of the floods in Europe and Asia this sum- mer? The sheep population on the southern island of New Zealand is down. That might not seem like much, until you understand it’s be- cause of drought. Look at a globe. Europe and New Zealand are about as far apart as you can get, but both have to adapt to changing weather patterns. Those nasty floods in Europe threatened buildings that have been around for centuries. Maybe this globe of ours isn’t all that big after all. Maybe it’s just one tiny planet, and maybe we are all spinning around together. So, what about this Kyoto stuff? Is it imperfect? Of course it’s im- perfect. It’s difficult to imagine how long it would take for such a large number of nations to agree on “perfect”. Do we really have to wait for “perfect” before we wake up to the reality of what is happen- ing? The world was horrified by the destruction of the twin towers. Why do we ignore the possibility that the melting of the polar ice caps could wipe out all of Manhattan? Would ratification of the Kyoto agreement cost jobs? Of course, if we look only at the oil industry. Would it create jobs in other areas? Again, yes — somebody has to do the implementation, and technolo- gy doesn’t just materialize out of the ether. Ralph Klein doesn’t want to rat- ify Kyoto. Ralph, aren’t you the premier of the province that needs hay? We have been told cows need hay. Can they eat petroleum prod- ucts to survive? Can people in towns and cities drink oil? As for you weather announcers — please don’t tell me a hot sunny day during a drought is “another beautiful day” or that a non-exis- tent winter is “great weather”. Biggest story of our time is... the weather There are much more dire consequences to the arrival of yet another beautiful day Beverley Trull Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 20, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Young ‘thugs’ don’t need protection as they go about their theft and destruction To the editor: Re: ‘Pickering man robbed in home,’ Aug. 18. Surely it’s foolish the federal Liberals won’t allow the names or images of these thug home invaders to be exposed in the media until they are 18 years old. This gives them tacit approval to smash into homes in the darkness of night to rob, steal and assault innocent victims. Are carjackings and home invasions terrorist acts? They certainly are and I would beg the police to be vigilant since they also have vulnerable families.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com When Durham District School Board chairman Elizabeth Roy hammered her gavel Monday night to quiet bickering trustees, it was music to the ears of many observers. She had no choice but to forcefully silence trustees as name- calling and accusations of deceit and improprieties dragged the public board meeting to new lows. Audience members clapped in approval when Whitby Trustee Doug Ross angrily chastised those he implied were trying to un- dermine Trustee Roy’s efforts. Trustee Ross suggested trustees who did not support Trustee Roy’s election to chairman have been “sucking their thumbs” since the last election. His demand some trustees “stop behaving like a bunch of lu- natics and stop trying to discredit the chairman,” was met with ap- plause. The sad irony of Monday night’s debacle was the subject mat- ter fuelling this latest round of accusations. In an effort to get this board on track, Trustee Roy has arranged for a provincial facilita- tor to work with the trustees to iron out differences and to review the role of a trustee. To illustrate how disjointed this board is, trustees have been unable to agree on whether to attend such a meeting, whether it is necessary, and even if they received the July 16 e-mail notification of the proposal from Trustee Roy. At a Sept. 3 meeting, Trustee Cynthia Steffen indicated she had not received the e-mail. It has since been confirmed by school board officials her board-issued computer was not working prop- erly over the summer. Trustee Martin Demmers was apparently too busy over the summer to check his e-mail. At the Sept. 3 meeting he indicated he had not seen the e-mail, that he may have received it, but six weeks after it was sent he hadn’t had time to check. Trustee Susan Shetler of Oshawa, who in a recent interview cited “differing political opinions and weak leadership” as the root of trustees’ ongoing disputes with one another, has remained adamant she did not receive the e-mail. However, at Monday night’s meeting, education director Grant Yeo confirmed the mes- sage was sent to all trustees, except Trustee Steffen. Trustee Roy said specifically Trustee Shetler “did receive it and deleted it”. Trustee Shetler made no attempt at the meeting to argue this infor- mation but in a subsequent interview continued to deny she had ever received the message. All this bickering over e-mail when the school board is facing issues like shortfalls in education, special-education needs, con- struction delays and provincial testing results, is irresponsible. It has become crystal clear the only way this board will ever function effectively is if the electorate casts aside trustees who clearly cannot put their personal agendas aside in favour of better- ing our education system. Trustees simply can’t get priorities straight Debacle the latest in ongoing bickering that’s taking away from education PICKERING —If you’re a young person who didn’t return to school this fall who’s having trouble finding work, job connect may be for you.

The Drug Enforcement Unit seized 379 pot plants with a street value of $175,000 and $14,000 worth of hydroponics growing equipment after executing a search warrant Fri- day at a Naroch Boulevard home, po- lice said. It’s the 87th residential marijuana grow operation shut down in Durham this year, police said. No one was home at the time of the search, however, a man and two women were later arrested. Two chil- dren, ages five and six, with the adults were taken by officers and turned over to the Durham Children’s Aid Society. The majority of labs uncovered by police receive electricity from illegal hydro diversions. However, the home on Naroch relied on legally obtained power and “hydro bills were paid on a regular basis,” a police statement said. Charged with production of a con- trolled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking are Dang Van Dinh, 48, Yem Thi vi, 47, and My Lee Tran, 44, all of Dunn Avenue in Toronto. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 20, 2002 PAGE 9 A/P We’ve Got Your Size Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING For Best Selection in Quality & Style.

But one is only two-years-old and is, for many reasons, deserving of support. The ALS Society of Ontario’s Durham Chapter holds its second Walk to D’Feet ALS at Ajax Rotary Park on Sept. 28. Patterned after similar programs in the U.S., Walk to D’Feet ALS has become Canada’s national signature fund raising event for ALS societies at the national and provincial levels. Every region and chapter have the same unifying goals: raise funds for research to bring an end to one of the cruellest diseases on the planet while helping those who have the disease suffer as little as possible. ALS is the acronym for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a death sentence also known as Motor Neuron Disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease. An estimated 1,500 to 2,000 Canadians have ALS. There is no cure or even any real treatment. Every day two or three Canadians die of ALS, usually within two to five years after diagnosis. ALS affects motor neurons by which the brain signals muscles to control movement. When this doesn’t happen, muscles waste away, causing weakness in the limbs, often followed by a waning in the muscles controlling speech and swallowing. In the final stages of the disease, the diaphragm becomes too weak to properly inflate the lungs, leading to respiratory failure and death. Perhaps the most tragic characteristic of the disease is the fact ALS victims remain intellectually able. The ALS patient is alert and aware of the facts, trapped in a disintegrating body. Organizations like the Durham Region ALS chapter call the people they support ‘P’ALS.’ There will be some of these courageous people at the walk Sept. 28. Many more will be there because they are family members of those tormented by the particularly horrible indignities of ALS. Many more people and friends will be there because their P’ALS are gone. Nationally, the goal for 2002 is to have 20 Walks in locations across Canada in September and October raising $1,000,000. Durham Region’s is one of those 20 walks. Sixty per cent of the total raised locally will remain in the community hosting the walk while 40 per cent will be dedicated to ALS research. The ALS Society of Ontario Durham Chapter Walk on Saturday, Sept. 28 has a check in time of 9 a.m. in the main building at Ajax Rotary Park. The walk along the Waterfront Trail begins at 10 a.m. Contact Meghan Graham at 1-800-267-4257 or email fundcomm@alsontario.org for more information. CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR FEET?

Pickles made the comments in an interview last week the day after the issue was discussed at a Pickering committee of the whole meeting. Coun. Pickles and his Ward 3 regional counterpart Councillor Rick Johnson both say many of the people who live near the federal lands are totally against the idea, despite the fact the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) contin- ues the planning process on behalf of the federal gov- ernment. “There is mixed reaction in the community over this process, but quite a number don’t want an airport at all,” said Coun. Johnson at the com- mittee meeting. “If the feder- al government and (Picker- ing-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP) Dan McTeague want an air- port here I wish they’d just come out and say it and get on with it.” Coun. Pickles’ chief con- cern is the GTAA and what he believes to be closed-door policies. He said meetings of the GTAA’s Pickering Advisory Committee (PAC), made up of members of local and re- gional governments, key stakeholder groups, the pub- lic, and the GTAA, is clearly not as open and informative as it could be. The committee is supposed to act as a forum to advise the GTAA on is- sues related to the planning for a possible airport. Coun. Pickles believes the public is being left in the dark when it comes to those plans. “I’m not very pleased with respect to the ongoing process,” he told committee members. “We had a motion that sought more appoint- ments to PAC, but the chair did not accept that... it’s not satisfactory; these are not open meetings.” While GTAA communi- cations staff claim they are committed to keeping the public informed, they contin- ue to keep details about the possible shape and size of an airport and the business case to themselves. Coun. Johnson said at the meeting the public wants an- swers. “There are a lot of ques- tions from the community,” he said. “I think we need to send a message back that a lot of people don’t want this airport.” Without word from the federal government or the GTAA on the nature of a fu- ture airport, Coun. Johnson said it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the plan could include dumping on the north Pickering commu- nity, the flights other airports don’t want. He asked City staff to look into whether Missis- sauga has a bylaw regulating midnight to 7 a.m. flights at Pearson International Airport and whether Pickering could enact one to avoid becoming the future home for overnight cargo flights in the Greater Toronto Area. A spokesman for the City of Mississauga clerk’s office said they have no such bylaw.

BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer DURHAM ––The wood on the border of the sandbox is splitting, full of splinters. The ramps in the play- ground are everywhere, but they’ve been dubbed the ramps that go nowhere. Aside from a tic-tac-toe game of spinning plastic cylinders with faded Xs and Os, a few steering wheels and a couple of slides, there’s not much for a kid to do. Most of all, it’s not a playground that gives children with special needs independence. That’s about to change. Grandview Children’s Centre in Oshawa, which provides rehabilitation and support services to 3,500 young peo- ple in Durham Region with physical, developmental and communication challenges, is getting a new playground. It will be the only completely-acces- sible one in the re- gion. At a cost of $130,000, some community part- ners have come on board to support the project. Motorcity Sat- urn Isuzu in Whit- by presented an $8,000 cheque Saturday to Grandview as part of the local company’s participation in Saturn’s national play- ground program. In the past six years, Saturn Canada has built and refurbished 185 playgrounds, with the goal of creating safer places for chil- dren to play. “That’s a critical area in our community, that’s why we chose that playground,” says Anne Nurse, team leader at Saturn. “It’s a difficult de- cision now because there are so many playgrounds in need.” In the spring, Grandview began soliciting community support. The children’s centre removed equipment that was deemed unsafe following the Canadian Standards Associa- tion’s introduction of new guidelines. “A lot of the equipment there is not really accessible for disabled children,” says Pam McColl, foundation manager for Grandview. “We wanted to build a structure that would really benefit kids.” Grandview en- visions raised, accessible sandboxes and a poured rub- ber mat surrounding the structure instead of sand. There will also be bead and sensory boards, ramps to ac- cess different levels and a “talking tube,” built primarily underground, that allows a child to talk to a friend on the opposite side of the play- ground. These features will allow children to access equipment themselves without having to be carried or helped up and down, boosting their self-es- teem and independence, Ms. McColl says. The playground is used in recreation pro- grams and during therapy sessions but is also open to children who aren’t Grand- view clients. Grandview has chosen ABC Construction Limited for the project and anticipates work will begin in the spring.

With Parkin- son’s disease, two internationally known men, Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox, quickly come to mind. Parkinson’s doesn’t care if its victims are famous or coura- geous. The disease that affects the lives of 100,000 Canadians and their families does not dis- criminate. Parkinson’s is a chronic, slowly progressive neurological disease that most often hits peo- ple in the latter half of life with symptoms such as tremor, mus- cle rigidity, slowness of move- ment, impaired speech and diffi- culty with balance, walking and fine movements. Time is not on anyone’s side when it comes to Parkinson’s, which peaks at age 60, a mount- ing concern as Canada’s aging population grows. Mr. Fox, Canadian born, knows this and so does his friend, Mr. Ali. Headed for Toronto next month, the legendary boxing champion will be the hon- oured guest at the Toronto Argonauts home game at SkyDome Oct. 20 to raise funds for Parkinson’s re- search. Meanwhile, right here in Durham Region –– in Ajax, on Sunday, Sept. 29 –– some local champions will take part in the Parkinson Soci- ety Canada’s 12th Annual Super- Walk. The walk begins at 1 p.m. at Rotary Park, Lake Driveway West, Ajax.

(West of Harwood) Super effort needed for Parkinson’s Fund-raising walk is Sept. 29 along the Ajax waterfront BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM — The “fighter” who inspired them may have passed away recently, but that isn’t going to stop local motorcyclists from continuing the battle. Ten-year-old Dylan Carr suc- cumbed Aug. 22 to Batten disease, a genetic neuro-degenerative disor- der that primarily affects children. Come the first Sunday of each June, Durham chapter members of the Harley Owners Group, along with other motorcycle enthusiasts, ride to raise money to fund re- search. Durham chapter co-director Ed Jakiwchuk said more than $20,000 was raised this year. One of the Durham HOG mem- bers, a police officer named Matt Flowers, learned of Dylan through co-worker, and the boy’s father, Cliff Carr. At a monthly meeting, Mr. Flowers suggested raising money for the Batten association. “HOGs do a charity ride and we chose that as ours,” Mr. Jakiwchuk said. “We do other rides as a group. We join the Toronto chapter on their toy run. We go in and support them and they come out and sup- port us. “Now, it really means some- thing and we do the best we can.” The disease has four major groupings — infantile, late infan- tile, juvenile and, rarely, adult. Symptoms include seizures, loss of balance, eyesight and then mo- bility. Patients eventually lose the ability to look after themselves, needing to be fed through a tube. A majority can’t communicate and there’s no way of knowing if they understand, Mr. Carr noted. “There’s no cure and no treat- ment for the disease. The only treatment is to try to control seizure activity. It’s to give children a bet- ter quality of life while they’re with us,” he said. Depending on the form of the disease, the sufferer has a life ex- pectancy that could stretch into early adulthood. “Dylan was diagnosed with a variant form of late infantile,” Mr. Carr said. “He progressed as any normal child would until a month after his third birthday, when he had his first seizure.” In the next year, he was taken to the Hospital for Sick Children sev- eral times. “Seizures progressed to multi- ple seizures in a day. It wasn’t un- usual to have 30 a day,” he added. Dylan, who was on a “cocktail of drugs to control his seizures”, seemed to bounce back, Mr. Carr stated. His son was a “fighter. He al- ways was. He always had a smile,” he said. “A year ago, his school called to say we might as well come and get his wheelchair be- cause he wasn’t using it. “His speech was coming back and he was more coherent. He was like that until he passed. That’s why it was a shock to us when he passed away. Still, it was a blessing to us to enjoy him.” For the one day of visitation, about 500 people attended, he noted. “It showed us the impres- sion he made, the people he touched.” Dylan was in a special class at Lord Durham Public School in Ajax, and attended Bayfair Day Care in Pickering. Mr. Carr said Dylan loved going to the day-care centre. He also attended therapeutic horseback riding on Scugog Island for the past two years, an activity he looked forward to every week. Dylan was a member of a Beavers group for three years, loved to play games on his computer, watch music videos and was also eager to have someone read stories to him. Mr. Carr is the vice-president of the Canadian Batten Association and sits on the international board of directors. The Canadian association is en- tirely volunteer, with no overhead. The money raised by the ride and two golf tournaments goes to ge- netic research, Mr. Carr said. In past years, because there wasn’t any research into the dis- ease in Canada, the money raised went outside the country. “This year, I got lucky,” he said, pointing to the Canadian Institute of Genetics, a newly formed arm of Health Canada, along with a DNA lab at Sick Kids, which are doing genetic research. Over a two-year period, $70,000 is going to Batten and DNA re- search, as well as genetic research. “I’m pretty happy about that and to use the money here as opposed to sending it out of the country.” For more on the Durham HOG chapter, go to its Web site at www.durhamhog.com.

The Canadian Diabetes Associ- ation is partnering this Saturday, Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with all Ontario The Beer Stores for its annual Case for a Cure campaign. People are asked to bring their empties to the stores and donate the refunds to the dia- betes association. This year’s goal is to raise $225,000 to support diabetes re- search in Canada. The campaign has raised $1.6 million since its inception in 1992. For more information, call the Durham branch of The Canadian Diabetes Association at 905-436- 6648. DYLAN CARR He was a ‘fighter. He always was. He always had a smile’. Cash in and help diabetes research BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Dave Mann is ending his education career on a high. The G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute teacher was awarded the Durham District School Board’s Bruce Mather Award Sept. 16. The annual award goes to a board staff member or staff team who has made an extraordinary contribution to the growth of others. “I’m shy and I’m retiring, so this is a sur- prise,” he said at the meeting. Mr. Mann, who is retiring at the end of November, works with the Oshawa school’s senior developmental class, a group of se- verely disabled students who are over 16 years old and wheelchair-bound. After working with significantly chal- lenged people, Mr. Mann said he’s learned “every person wants to interact and commu- nicate with someone”. And, a good method in class is to “program and watch and learn”, a technique that he said allows him to deter- mine what students like, what they fear and what they want to learn. “We can always accept people for being different; they’re different and we’re differ- ent,” said Mr. Mann. He said the only other thing he’d ever won was a 50-pound turkey, and comically described the trouble he had bringing it home on the subway — and getting rid of the massive bird. “The mistake that I made was keeping it myself and attempting to eat it myself,” he said. Of the award, named for the board’s ed- ucation director between 1984 and 1989, Mr. Mann said he shared it with all the teachers, trustees, educational assistants and board support personnel who work hard every day. “Thank goodness in my own mind I only get a tiny fraction of this award,” he said. Trustees remarked Mr. Mann is an asset to the school and the board and would be missed. School principal Gloria Schwabe in an interview said watching Mr. Mann at work is “a lesson in humanity. “It’s such a treat to work in his midst. Dave is such a caring educator, a gentleman and a gentle man with his students, who are very fragile.” 2002 IS300 $398/mo.* 3.9%lease rate 2002 ES300 $498/mo.* 5.9% lease rate 2002 RX300 “Luxury Edition” $589/mo.* 6.9%lease rate www.scarboroughlexus.ca *36 month lease O.A.C. based on IS300 “C” package / RX300 “B” package / ES300 “D” package.

Elaine Minacs, founder, president and chief executive officer, did the hon- ours as General Motors of Canada pres- ident Michael Grimaldi and many other guests watched Sept. 12. GM of Cana- da’s headquarters and the Minacs build- ing are both located on Colonel Sam Drive, close to the Second Marsh. Also present was Chet Huber, presi- dent of OnStar Corporation, which opened a call centre at the Minacs build- ing in July. The centre handles 30,000 calls a month. For Ms. Minacs, the open- ing of the 103,000-square-foot facility marked a return home to Oshawa, where she started her business years ago. “Minacs is very community-minded ... with very strong ties to the communi- ty. It’s our original home,” she said. “Completed in only nine months, this $15-million state-of-the-art facility re- flects the dedication and commitment of the Minacs team and the strength of our business relationships with General Mo- tors.” The building, completed at the end of 2001, can house up to 800 employees and is set on more than 10 acres near the marsh, a provincially significant wet- land. Ms. Minacs made a $5,000 dona- tion to the Friends for education pro- grams. Minacs, a customer relationship management services company, em- ploys approximately 4,000 people in 20 locations, including Pickering, and provides a range of services to clients in manufacturing, financial services, technology, telecommunications and government services sectors.

Q:I’m 57 years old and have arthritis in my neck and hands. I really don’t want to give up the game because of my ailment. Is there anything I can do to ease the toll that golf takes on my body? A:My golfing friends who suffer from arthritis in their hands have had the grips of their clubs built up so that they don’t have to bend their fingers quite as much. (Make sure whoever switches your grips knows to rebalance the weight of the club, however, or the thick grip will make the head too light in comparison.) Another thing you can do — and even though I don’t have arthritis, I’ve done this as I’ve gotten older — is to switch to soft graphite shafts. They greatly reduce the shock your body feels at impact. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) he 2002 U.S. Solheim Cup squad will include five first-time partici- pants, the most since 1992,when the matches were played for only the second time. And U.S. captain Patty Sheehan isn’t planning to cod- dle her rookies — all are expected to play important roles Friday through Sunday at Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minn. Europe defeated the United States, 111/2 to 61/2, in those 1992 matches, the Europeans’only victory in the first five stagings of the competition. This year’s European squad has six rookies of its own. If nothing else, the American youngsters can find comfort in the fact that the five first-timers in 1992 had a combined record of 5-4-3, and helped earn five of the U.S. team’s 61/2 points. Back in 1992, no one could truly be called a Solheim veteran. The event started in 1990, and players on both sides were only beginning to get a taste of what the international com- petition was all about. But this year’s five first- timers, who are all under age 30 — Wendy Ward, 29; Emilee Klein, 28; Laura Diaz, 27; Kelli Kuehne, 25; and Cristie Kerr, 24 — will no doubt benefit from the wisdom and guidance of such Solheim veterans as Juli Inkster, Rosie Jones, Beth Daniel, Meg Mallon and Kelly Robbins. All of those players have seen action in at least three previous Solheims. Captain Sheehan has played in four. “We have got young players in there and older ones,” Sheehan said, “and not a lot in between. … I think it will make for a very good mix of vet- erans and rookies.” Although Solheim icon Dottie Pepper won’t be able to play because of an injured shoulder, she also will be in Minnesota — blue fingernails and all — to lend advice and inspira- tion to the U.S. squad as it tries to win back the cup that Europe regained with a 141/2 to 111/2 victory at Loch Lomond in Scotland two years ago. “In the long run, that may even help us,” Inkster said. “Dottie will be more into helping everyone else on the team rather than doing what she normally does to get ready (to play). With her on the sidelines, she will be able to be a good listener, giving her wisdom to the younger players, let- ting them know the little ins and outs of the Solheim. That can only help.” Pepper doesn’t think it will take the five new- comers very long to understand the inten- sity of the matches. “After you experience the open- ing ceremonies, I don’t think you have to be told again how important this event is,” Pepper said. “Just seeing the people carrying around the flags and dressed red, white and blue from head to toe lets you know right away.” Many of the rookies have been preparing for the moment since the beginning of their professional careers. And three — Kerr, Kuehne and Ward — played in the Curtis Cup, the Solheim’s amateur equivalent. “It’s very exciting for the younger players,” Sheehan said. “They are all jazzed. They are really excited and stoked to come and play the Solheim Cup. They have been watching it for years, and some of them have played the golf course. They know what it’s all about.” The balance of veterans and youngsters has the more experienced team members — including Inkster — looking especially forward to this year’s event. No U.S. team since 1994 has had more than three first-time players. Inkster and Sheehan say team chemistry formed off the course can have a lot to do with success in the Solheim. “What I remember the most from playing in this event are the off- course memories, the discussions in the team room, in the locker room,” Sheehan said. “The way you dis- cuss your experiences at the team dinners, the bonds that you form as teammates. I want to make those memories special for the new players, too.” “I think having all these young players is going to be a good thing,” Inkster said. “Sure, it’s nice to have people who have a lot of expe- rience, but experience only goes so far. You’ve still got to play good golf. And if you’re not playing good golf, you’ve got to grind through and do what it takes to win, and I think we’ve got a lot of good, confident young players who can do what they have to to win.” Sheehan also thinks her young- sters will have more than enough met- tle to combat whatever Interlachen or the Europeans throw their way. “They really are a fun, fiery group,” she said. “For some reason, some of them don’t like everybody to see what they’re made of, but I tell you what — it’s going to come out in the Solheim Cup. You’re going to see their true personalities come out, and they’re going to explode.” The younger players will need that and more to survive — and thrive — in a competition that is like no other in women’s professional golf. “The Solheim is such a different event,” Sheehan said. “It has such an effect on your nervous system. You can’t describe it until you’ve actually played in something of this magni- tude. It literally makes you sick to your stomach.” “Yeah, they’re going to be nervous at first,” Inkster said, “but I don’t want them to get stressed out that this is life or death. They’ve worked for two years to be a part of this team, so I want them to be able to enjoy it.” THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Who will be “Man of the Match” at next week’s Ryder Cup?

The non-profit, social service agency opened its doors at 75 Richmond St. W., inviting people in to see the offices and to find out more about the agency. The 7,000-square-foot facility, located across from the Human Resources Develop- ment Canada building, is more than twice the size of the society’s former location on Simcoe Street South, said Paul Dobbs, com- munity education worker. The new, one- floor location provides the agency with more opportunity to better serve its clients and even expand its programs, he said. The society is already looking into new programs it can offer in the larger facility, he said. More access to things such as comput- ers, fax, Internet and photocopiers are possi- ble now. The John Howard Society helps people with employment, housing, counselling, anger management, parenting, single dad and adult literacy programs, he said. It no longer deals just with men who’ve had brushes with the law, he added. In fact, in 2001, the society served nearly 17,000 children, youth and adults. By the end of 2002, that’s expected to climb to 20,000, Mr. Dobbs said. This can be attributed to the economy, an increased awareness about the society’s pro- grams and the rapid growth of Durham Re- gion, he said. Most programs offered by the society are free. The agency also has offices in Claring- ton, Whitby and Ajax. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 20, 2002 PAGE 25 A/P LIFESTYLE WITH CLASS SAT.

The self-proclaimed belles of rock ‘n’roll rocked the worlds of every music legend whose pants they could take off –– and they have the pictures to prove it. But it’s been more than two decades since the Banger Sisters earned their nickname, or even laid eyes on one an- other. Vinnie is now Lavinia - a prim, sub- urban mother, wife and pillar of the community, more at home at a garden party than a mosh pit. Suzette is still her brassy self - plus a few tattoos and a re- markably increased bust line. When Suzette’s world comes crash- ing down, she sets off in search of the one friend who might be able to rescue her, or at least give her a few thousand bucks. TRAPPED Starring Charlize Theron, Kevin Bacon, Courtney Love Directed by Luis Mandoki The perfect crime is, perhaps, the crime that is never reported. Some criminals seize control of their environment so convincingly, and cover their tracks so effectively they leave nothing but terrified victims –– so shocked they retreat into silence, grate- ful just to have their lives back. These are the unfortunate victims of Joe and Cheryl Hickey (Kevin Bacon and Courtney Love), who, along with Joe’s cousin Marvin (Pruitt Taylor Vince), have orchestrated and refined a foolproof plan to extort money from wealthy families. But this time, they picked the wrong family - a family that chooses to fight back and take control of a terrifying or- deal that is spiralling towards an un- thinkable outcome. THE FOUR FEATHERS Starring Heath Ledger, Wes Bentley, Kate Hudson Directed by Shekhar Kapur In the late 1800s, a British officer (Heath Ledger) resigns his post when he learns of his regiment’s plans to ship out to the Sudan for the conflict with the Mahdi. His friends and fiancee send him four white feathers to symbolize cowardice. To redeem his honour, he disguises him- self as an Arab and secretly saves the lives of those who branded him a cow- ard.

BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School re- ceived a not-so-friendly wel- come to senior football by the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic School Chargers here Thursday afternoon. The Chargers gave the upstart Cougars an initiation into Lake Ontario Secondary Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) foot- ball they won’t soon forget in a one-sided 57-0 pasting in the in- augural contest at Notre Dame. The Chargers — one of the pre-season favourites in the se- nior loop this season — took full advantage of a wealth of Notre Dame miscues and fumbles to give them excellent field posi- tion throughout the entire game. DO’C put 33 points on the scoreboard at halftime and never looked back in its first win of the season. Notre Dame had its best scor- ing opportunity in the dying minutes of play. A solid ground game provided by running back Chris Rennie put the Cougars deep into DO’C territory. After three unsuccessful attempts to get the ball to the end zone, Notre Dame’s field-goal attempt was partially blocked from 15 yards out. Notre Dame recov- ered the ball after it was kicked out of the Chargers’ end zone. But, with one play left before the end of the contest, Rennie was stopped just short of the goal line. Cougars’ head coach Brian Hughes was philosophical in de- feat, giving his team of largely junior-aged players, most with little or no previous football ex- perience, credit for their play. “Remember that we have to learn how to crawl and walk be- fore we can run. We played a team today that already knows how to run,” said Hughes. Hughes should know a thing or two about upstart football programs. Several years ago as the head coach of the first-year Denis O’Connor senior team, that squad dropped its first-ever LOSSA football game by a wide margin. “That first year DO’C played, we lost 63-0. Six or seven years later, look at them now,” he said. Hughes noted there were “significant positives” to take out of Thursday’s defeat, includ- ing the play of Rennie who was a force in the backfield. Rennie carried the ball at least 20 times and gained at least 100 yards. Chargers’ coach Jim Leckey gave full credit to his team’s spe- cial teams and to the defence for giving the offence excellent field position throughout. “The special teams pinned them deep; the defence held them there and the offence was able to punch it in. Top marks to the defence and the special teams for putting us in that posi- tion. It really was a dream se- quence for us,” said Leckey. He’s also proud of how the players have rallied around each other to create a truly team at- mosphere since the team started practising several weeks ago. “The guys have put their egos in check and are playing as a team. That’s the most rewarding part,” he said. Running back Dan West led the scoring parade with three touchdowns, quarterback James Leckey scored two, and single majors went to slotback Paul Leckey, Frank Aiello and wide receiver Keith Godding. Paul Leckey and James Leckey each added two-point converts, while kicker Erik Martinez booted two converts. DO’C plays at Sinclair against the Celtics in Whitby next Thursday, Sept. 26. The Cougars are off for a week before they meet the de- fending LOSSA champion St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs at Notre Dame Friday, Oct. 4.

Marie recently. The Ajacians had an uphill battle to wage against Oakville in the double- knockout event. With Oakville entering the final undefeated, having beaten Ajax in earlier action, the Spartans had to win twice to lay claim to the provincial cham- pionship. In Game 1 of the final, Ajax played sound fundamental baseball to post a 14-2 victory. Starting pitcher Scott Morgan pitched six solid innings en route to the victory. Ajax hit through the order in the fifth and sixth innings and played tight de- fensively, stranding 11 Oakville base run- ners. In the second game, Chris Dahiroc pitched five solid innings, giving up only four hits, on the way to an 11-1 title-clinch- ing win. Defensively, Daniel Lindeblom made an outstanding catch in left field and nearly threw out a base runner who was tagging up at first. Second baseman Addi- son Graham made two highlight plays on ground balls, one behind first and one be- hind second. Ajax earned a place in the final by de- feating Thunder Bay 11-1. Andrew Bergman allowed three hits through five in- nings. The bantams played London in their first game Friday evening, winning 3-2 be- hind Morgan, who struck out seven. The winning run was scored in the fifth inning when Gord McCaugherty singled, stole second and third, and scored on Adam Bosilac’s sacrifice fly to centre field. Ajax lost its only game of the tourna- ment, dropping a 4-2 decision to Oakville. Ajax faced Sudbury in Game 3, winning 8-3. Corey Magder pitched seven strong in- nings and everyone contributed to the win, including Mike Alldread, who scored Ajax’s third run after earning a walk in the second inning, and Stephen Notzl, who sin- gled in the third and came home on an All- dread single. The Spartans next played host Sault Ste. Marie, earning a 9-3 win. Offensively,Ajax was led by Brenden Williams, who had two singles and a triple and scored two runs. Matt Gilley pitched six innings, but got into trouble in the bottom of the last inning by walking two batters and giving up two sin- gles and two doubles. With the score 9-3 and runners at second and third, Mike Ryan relieved and slammed the door by striking out the next three batters on 12 pitches. Eric Bergman, Gary Graham, Tyrone Hilton and Andrew Notzl coach the team.
