Significant costs are on their way if the City decides to pick up the cheque, warns Everett Buntsma, director of operations and emergency services. “If it is a hazardous material or spill, the tab won’t be $900,” he told Pickering’s finance and operations committee Monday. “It could be $1 million or higher for a real incident.” His department is surveying other area municipalities before making recommendations to the committee Nov. 25 about two businesses billed for anthrax scares by Team 1 Environmental Services this year, as well as how to handle future incidents. City council approved a con- tract with Team 1 last November in which the owner of the busi- ness or person responsible for a hazardous spill would be in- voiced for the Hamilton-based company’s cleanup and han- dling services. Under the contract, the per- son involved must be asked if they wish to include Team 1, and that a fee for its services will be billed to them, Mr. Buntsma said. “They make the decision. There is the question why wouldn’t you (want to call Team 1), but the choice is still theirs,” he said. The owners of Legend Music Enterprises Corporation in Pick- ering claim they weren’t told of the charge to deploy Team 1.

Fourth annual yule celebration helps raise hospital funds BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM ––See 62 dif- ferent ways to decorate a Christ- mas tree this month. Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh are just some of the themes you’ll find at the 2002 CIBC Wood Gundy Durham Festival of Trees in support of Rouge Valley Health System, Ajax and Pickering hospital. Some events for the fourth annual festival, which takes place Nov. 20 to 24 at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex, are already starting to sell out, says Maureen Dowhaniuk, Rouge Valley Health System Founda- tion special events co-ordinator. New this year is Seniors’Day Friday, Nov. 22. Free bus trans- portation will be available from major seniors’ centres on an hourly basis from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to the recreation complex, where lunch will be served and a Christmas boutique and craft sale will take place. Tickets are $10 each. “Seniors like that kind of ac- tivity and it’s a group we haven’t directed the festival to in the past,” says Ms. Dowhaniuk. Last year, the festival raised $55,000 for hospital equipment. Organizers hope to hit $70,000 in 2002. A magnetic hand retractor, an automatic blood pressure/pulse oximetery unit and an emergency call system are among the items on the foundation’s fund-raising wish list. The festival kicks off with Holiday Fare, a cocktail party with a live and silent auction, Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 7 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $50 per per- son. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Jennifer Medeiros (left) and Maureen Farmer are busy volunteering to bring the annual CIBC Wood Gundy Durham Festival of Trees to the area Nov. 20-24. The event, which kicks off the Christmas season with a number of activities, serves as a hospital fund-raiser for the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation. Shelter behind schedule BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer AJAX —Construction of a new women’s shelter servicing families in west Durham is a couple months behind sched- ule, but with good reason, say those spearheading the project. “With any projects this size you want to make sure you’re on the right track before you come up with a plan,” said Bonnie Porter, president of the board of directors for the Ajax- Pickering Women’s Centre (APWC). Her 12-member board has been taking time to tour a num- ber of area shelters to “see what we like and don’t like” in formulating a plan for the new Ajax site, she said. Architects are working on the interior plans for the 25- bed facility now and a ground- breaking is being planned for the beginning of December.

A Licensed Non-Profit Agency For Information: Schools struggle to find council candidates Acclamations rule during ‘elections’ BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham pub- lic schools are struggling might- ily to find enough candidates to hold school council elections. Luigia Ayotte, the Durham District School Board’s superin- tendent overseeing school com- munity councils (SCC), reported at Monday’s standing committee meeting the results of this year’s elections, held for the most part in September. Of the 100 elementary and 17 secondary schools that respond- ed to a board survey, just two el- ementary schools had enough people come forward to hold an election. In every other school, SCC members were acclaimed. However, many councils are still lacking members. Ms. Ayotte reported two ele- mentary schools were unable to form a council because no parent wanted to be elected or ac- claimed. Forty-eight schools have no non-teaching members, and four do not have a teacher representative. Of the schools that have both teaching and non- teaching members, all the spots were filled by acclamation.

But Durham municipalities may want final say BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––The Region’s health department has heard the con- cerns and comments of the public, municipalities and business, and Nov. 13 it’s taking a smoking bylaw to Durham council for final approval. But some members of council are already saying they want local mu- nicipalities to have another look at the bylaw before they’ll give it their blessing. The bylaw, which would come into effect June, 2004 would ban smoking in workplaces and other public places with the exception of bingo halls and casinos, which would be required to provide 50 per cent smoke-free space. On Oct. 31, Durham Region’s health and social services committee members voted to send the draft bylaw to regional council after mu- nicipalities had reviewed it and replied with their comments earlier in the month. The municipalities’ responses in- cluded recommendations to allow designated smoking areas in bars and workplaces where desired. The health department decided to ignore these recommendations given the strong public support for full non- smoking facilities and a level playing field amongst businesses. The Region required five of the eight municipalities to consent to have the upper-tier government take over regulation of smoking in public places. In the past, the responsibility for smoking bylaws had been with the local municipalities. Four municipalities gave uncondi- tional support for the Region to pro- ceed while Uxbridge said it would support the move providing it had clarification on one item. Clarington gave support to the bylaw but wanted it to “have due re- gard” for the ‘Smoking in the Work- place Act.’ Specifically, that council wanted businesses to be permitted to create designated smoking rooms for their employees. Some committee members felt the Region should have extended the mu- nicipalities the courtesy of a second review of the bylaw before it goes for final approval to regional council. “The fact that we did go to local councils and asked their approval, we should return it to them,” said Clar- ington Councillor Charlie Trim. “It won’t take very long. Every- body responds as they are required. It would show we are listening to them and show we have a good sound process.” The committee decided instead to take a less formal route and have the health department report forwarded to each municipality without a re- sponse required. Oshawa Councillor Warren Young said he would not vote on the matter at committee out of principle but would take the information back to his city and then “deal with it on the (regional) council floor.” Whitby Councillor Pat Perkins suggested bars should be allowed the same exemption as casinos and bingo halls. “The bar scene is a different kettle of fish,” she said. “By and large it’s an adult clientele. They can make clear choices.” Coun. Perkins said she was con- cerned bars would lose business to house parties where people can smoke. Her motion lost but could be reintroduced at regional council. Grieving Durham parents mourn ‘gem’ BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING ––Wa v es of tears flooded the home of Bob and Jean Smith in the aftermath of a weekend collision that killed their 22-year-old son. Grant Robert Smith of Whitby died early Saturday when his westbound 1997 Cadillac slid across a Pickering road and collided with an eastbound car. Durham Regional Police are blam- ing icy road conditions for the crash, which happened on a Taunton Road bridge, east of Brock Road, at 6:30 a.m. Mr. Smith was dead at the scene. A 39-year-old Ajax man, driver of the eastbound 1988 Buick, suffered seri- ous injuries and underwent surgery at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. His injuries are not life-threatening. The tragedy has devastated the close-knit circle of family and friends of Mr. Smith, a former honours student and graduate of Henry Street High School. “We just loved him to death... He was a wonderful, wonderful son, a prince of a boy who never did anything wrong. He was a precious gem,” said his distraught father Bob Smith, 52, who was unable to fight back emo- tions. A third-year student of Durham College’s tool-and-dye program, Mr. Smith was on his way to work at a Markham shop at the time of the colli- sion. His parents received the tragic news upon returning from a trip to Ottawa. Wo rds were interrupted by cries of an- guish as an inconsolable Jean Smith spoke of her son. “He was so close to all us, it’s hard to...,” said Mrs. Smith, 51, unable to complete the sentence. She recalled her son’s days as the fun-loving, bleached-haired teenager who “didn’t know a chord” but played guitar in a garage rock band he formed with friends in high school, called ‘Grantera’ as a tribute to the group Pantera. Eight of the young man’s closest pals spent Sunday night at the family’s William Davidson Drive home, in the To wn’s northwest, sharing their stories and their sorrow. “He was always smiling, always friendly. All of the boys, even their parents, are devastated. They’re going to be pall bearers,” Mrs. Smith said. Mr. Smith said his son was a hard worker. “He was very responsible. He said he was working to save money so he could buy us better Christmas gifts.” He also was a big basketball fan. His parents had just bought him his Christmas presents: Michael Jordan shoes, a Jordan jersey and new tools. Constable Brendan Kennaley, of Durham’s collision investigations unit, said there was light snow on the bridge at the time of the crash and weather is the major contributing cause. “The road conditions were poor and going over the bridge just (worsened) the icy conditions. He just lost con- trol,” said Const. Kennaley, who re- minded motorists to take extra care on the roads this time of year, bridges es- pecially. Funeral services were scheduled to be held today, followed by cremation. Any witnesses to the collision are asked to call Const. Kennaley at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5256. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 6, 2002 PAGE A3 A/P 16 52 BAYLY ST. W.

Pickering (West of Whites) 905-831-2629 Saturday, November 9th featuring live entertainment by Stone Finger Karaoke Starts Sunday, November 10th at 8 p.m. The News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Debbie and Jim Broomer argue the City should pay the $995 bill incurred after a letter with white powder was sent to their business last June. The powder turned out to be paper residue from a poster sent from one of the couple’s New Jersey dealers. Team 1 also billed another local business in a similar incident this year, but City staff said that business has paid the fee, about $1,500. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner argued Pickering has a “legislative responsibility” to provide such services for its residents. The bill- back policy is “distasteful” and victim- izes small business, he said. Durham Regional Police issued an emergency response protocol for haz- ardous materials following Sept. 11, which determined fire personnel be the first responders, said Mr. Buntsma. He said Pickering decided to enlist an outside agency because it didn’t have the trained staff and equipment in such cases. He estimates the equipment alone could have cost the City $500,000 to $1 million. Training the entire fire department to handle the ma- terial would have cost “hundreds of thousands of dollars”, he said. Anthrax scares are a police matter and a regional responsibility, argued Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land, who suggested taking the invoices up with Durham’s finance committee. Hazardous waste debate continues Durham public schools short on SCC members Ms. Ayotte said while some schools can boast of countless volunteers, few are stepping forward to be involved in councils because the job is seen as “too political and too stringent. “Some people don’t want to speak for an entire community because they feel it’s too much of a responsibility for them.” She said all the board can do is to keep encouraging people to come for- ward. School councils are advisory bodies to principals and school boards, made up of parents, teaching and non-teaching staff members and community represen- tatives. Two years ago the provincial govern- ment introduced new regulations that re- quire principals and boards to get SCC input when they develop or change poli- cies affecting students, increasing SCCs’ workload. Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Lo- raine asked that copies of Ms. Ayotte’s report be sent to the minister of educa- tion and local MPPS. “This year there were more co-chairs than there have been in previous years,” she said. Trustee Loraine said that set off “alarm bells” for her as no one person was willing to lead a council. She said many councils are “feeling over- whelmed by many of the regulatory things they have to do”. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said it would be valuable to ask people who do not volunteer why they aren’t willing to do so, rather than having those people just discard election notices sent home from schools. Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy said even current council members did not necessarily set out to volunteer. “They came forward because no one came forward, and many of them are chairs because no one came forward,” she said. Trustee Roy said “parents in the com- munity are busy,” suggesting the SCC job has become too demanding and is keeping people away. “You’re asking too much; the num- bers show it,” she said. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers, a former school council chairman, said SCCs have become too political. He sug- gested having board policies go out to councils for consultation is taking up a lot of their time, and giving the councils a board-wide, instead of an individual, school focus. “I think that’s bogging down our school councils,” said Trustee Demmers. Last year’s SCC survey showed a similar lack of interest on the part of prospective members. In Ms. Ayotte’s November 2001 re- port, she stated only four of 93 schools surveyed held elections for parent mem- bers, four had no teacher representative and 37 had no non-teaching sector mem- bers.

Good grades in latest nuclear report card PICKERING —There were straight As in the latest report card for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Sta- tion. For the third quarter of this year, which ran from July to September, all eight performance indicators set for the station by Ontario Power Generation were either met or bettered. It’s the sec- ond consecutive quarter all eight indi- cators were met or bettered. Third quarter results were as fol- lows: • In an index reflecting 10 industry standard performance measures set by the World Association of Nuclear Op- erators — 72.4 per cent, better than OPG’s target of 68.7 per cent; • Public safety levels 1 and 2 events reportable to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission — no events and none this year; • ‘Reactor trips’ or the number of unplanned automatic reactor shut- downs per 7,000 hours — zero, better than the OPG target and industry stan- dard of one; • Capability factor or the amount of energy capable of being produced per month as a percentage of perfect per- formance — 84.1 per cent, better than the OPG goal of 83.4 per cent, but below the industry median of 91.3 per cent; • Radiation dose to the public from both the ‘A’and ‘B’stations — 5.2 mi- crosieverts, an international unit of dose, bettering the third quarter target of 7.5 and regulatory limit of 1,000; • Major and moderate preventable spills — zero, meeting the goal of zero; • Industrial safety accident rate, the number of accidents per 200,000 work hours that result in lost work time, re- stricted-work injuries or fatalities, for Pickering ‘A’ and ‘B’ — zero, better than the OPG target of 0.25 and, • Accident severity rate or the num- ber of days lost for injuries per 200,000 hours worked: Pickering ‘A’ — zero days and ‘B’0.39 days.

He then turned the gun on himself at their Hillcrest Road home. The murder-suicide ignited a coroner’s inquest and a call for the need for a women’s shelter, the need for changes to the legal system to protect women from violence and the need for more affordable housing in Durham. A task force was struck last year to work towards the establishment of a women’s shelter in the western por- tion of Durham Region. The Ministry of Community, Family and Children Services promised full funding to build the shelter. There have also been several community donations to help with ongoing operating costs, Ms. Porter said. The APWC is currently scouting out names for the new 15,000- square-foot facility, and officials might turn to the public for help. “‘Lighthouse’ was one name, which kept being thrown up but it’s fairly common and there are some questionable Web sites out there we didn’t want to be associated with,” she said. “We’re not 100 per cent sure as a board what we’ll do, but we’re look- ing at ways to have the community involved and one way might be for them to help us come up with a name.” Village United hosts Snowflake Bazaar AJAX ––Pickering Vil- lage United Church holds its 40th annual Snowflake Bazaar Saturday, Nov. 9 from 11 a.m.to 2 p.m. at the church, 300 Church St. N., Ajax.

Premier Ernie Eves, in a burst of compassion has chosen Jaime Watt, an advertising executive praised as a media guru and the party’s most astute communica- tions strategist, as co-chairman of his campaign in the election due next year. Mr. Watt specializes in making opponents look bad and won his reputation working for former pre- mier Mike Harris in the 1995 elec- tion, when he created a commer- cial showing a likeness of Liberal leader Lyn McLeod on a weather- vane, twisting and turning with each puff of wind and suggesting accurately the Liberals were inde- cisive. This left out, however, that Mr. Harris was not always pointed in the right direction, because he made promises, including one to stop government constantly in- creasing its revenue from gam- bling, which he dropped like a los- ing lottery ticket the moment the election was over. Mr. Harris planned to install Mr. Watt as communications ad- viser in his office, but a victim phoned revealing Mr. Watt had been convicted of fraud and forgery while owning a clothing store a decade earlier and Mr. Har- ris withdrew his offer. The much-in-demand Mr. Watt turned up a few months later work- ing on a contract for Mr. Eves, then finance minister, selling his eco- nomic statement, but the opposi- tion parties raised such an outcry he was cast out again. Mr. Watt still helped behind the scenes in the 1999 election and ran Jim Flaherty’s recent campaign for leader and, while no one had a real chance against Mr. Eves, injected the most excitement with his feisty claim Mr. Eves was a pale pink im- itation of Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty. Premier Eves has shown how highly he rates Mr. Watt by forgiv- ing and recruiting him, as an earli- er Tory premier, William Davis, snapped up those who ran Al Lawrence’s campaign and gave him a close race and fright. Mr. Eves risks opposition criti- cisms by appointing Mr. Watt. When his convictions were first re- vealed, the Liberals said they were shocked the Tories would “employ a convicted con artist” to sell their message. The New Democrats ques- tioned the Tories’integrity and said “everyone knows Watt is adept at selling people things they don’t want.” They can be expected to repeat these concerns as the Tories be- come more aggressive. The Tories already are circulating newsletters charging Mr. McGuinty is “still not up to the job,” a continuation of their successful theme last elec- tion, and lists of Liberal changes of mind. The Tories will argue Mr. Watt, who was in his 20s when he broke the law, has paid his penance and rehabilitated himself. But they have made it a major theme the opposition parties are soft on crime and have too much sympathy for those who commit offences and not enough for their victims. The Tories also have a zero-tol- erance policy toward welfare re- cipients who defraud and ban them from benefits for life, although most are pitiable people who have not had Mr. Watt’s advantages in education and work opportunities. The Tories, in addition, are not spreading their forgiveness evenly. The prime example of this is the case of Steve Gilchrist, who had been one of their brightest young prospects when he stepped down as municipal affairs minister in 1999. Mr. Gilchrist resigned as po- lice investigated an allegation he told developers who wanted to meet him, to speak first to a Tory fund-raiser. Police found no evidence of wrongdoing, but it emerged Mr. Gilchrist had been convicted of evading tax while involved, also in his 20s, in his family’s business. Mr. Gilchrist may be the hard- est-working MPP, commonly leav- ing his office at 3 a.m., and others without his drive and ability have been appointed to cabinet. While it is not enough of an excuse, if everyone who evaded tax was caught the courts would come to a standstill. But Mr. Gilchrist has not been reinstated in party favour and nei- ther have Alan Eagleson or Terry Jones or other former Tory MPPs who have been in trouble with the law, but they are not needed to win an election. Tories look to ex-con for help Eves chooses media guru Watt to run upcoming election campaign According to the International Association of Fire Fighters, a union bylaw preventing full-time firefighters from also serving as volunteers - or two-hatters as they’re known - has been on the books for 50 years. Which begs the question, why has such a bylaw been allowed to lapse and why does the IAFF feel the need to enforce it now? The issue has inflamed tensions among firefighters across Ontario where of the 17,000 who serve as volun- teers, as many as 1,000 do so as two-hatters. That means two-hatters put on the gear as full-timers each week, and when home, also serve as on-call volunteers. A Private Member’s Bill from Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott would protect two-hatters and allow them to continue in their role. Currently, Whitby full-time firefighter Timothy Lee, who volunteers as a fire-fighter in his free time, is facing IAFF sanctions and may lose his full-time position over his refusal to give up his volunteer hat. Provincial legislation would override IAFF bylaws and would allow Mr. Lee, and thousands like him, to continue to serve as two-hatters. The two-hat system is important in Ontario, where smaller communities which cannot afford full-timers and which may struggle to find volunteers, can get the exper- tise of two-hatters. That was the genesis of Mr. Arnott’s bill, which has passed first and second readings at Queen’s Park and now goes to a third and final reading. Should it pass, it will be- come law. “Nobody should be intimidated, charged and face the possible loss of their full-time job for being a volunteer firefighter. There is provincial and public interest in pro- tecting two-hatters who wish to serve as volunteer fire- fighters,” says Mr. Arnott. In Clarington alone, some 25 two-hatters have handed in their volunteer resignations this year, leaving the de- partment scrambling to find fully trained volunteers to fill the spots. Most Durham municipalities employ two-hatters so the impact of resignations is felt across the region. While the legislation will encourage some to maintain their two- hat status, union arguments to hang on to just the one full- time hat may persuade many to quit as volunteers. The point ultimately is that firefighters, many of whom have been two-hatters for a number of years, should have the choice of what they want to do. The legislation, once it has passed, will guarantee that right and will act as a protection to the smaller municipalities which need to maintain their stable of experienced volunteer firefight- ers. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 6, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Flaherty defends support for Picov Downs project To the editor: Re: ‘Betting is Conservatives face difficult election run-up,’ Opinion Shaper column by Den- nis Kivlahan, Oct. 25. Mr. Kivlahan recently ex- pressed concern over my support for Picov Downs. I refer him to Ontario’s independent integrity commissioner who, at my own request, looked into the matter and ruled my actions completely proper. The so-called “controversy” over Picov Downs is little more than an attempt by special inter- ests from outside our community to protect themselves at our ex- pense. It is the responsibility of an MPP to represent his or her con- stituents and to act in their best interests. In supporting the Picov Downs application, I am repre- senting the community which democratically expressed its support for the proposal through a referendum. I am joined in that support by virtually every elected official in the region, including those who sit with me as colleagues in On- tario’s legislature. Why? Because it’s good for Durham. There are the obvious eco- nomic benefits, including the po- tential to create more than 300 new jobs and generate an addi- tional $5 million in revenue for the Town of Ajax. This would also help Picov Downs become one of the premier quarter-horse tracks in North America and have a positive impact on the local agricultural community and the horse-racing industry as a whole. This industry provides many jobs in Ontario. It is my duty as a representa- tive from the region to support this initiative and I am proud to do so. Jim Flaherty MPP Whitby-Ajax New vision just more of the old To the editor: Re: ‘Vision fine if it comes to fruition,’editorial, Oct. 27. I find it hard to believe much will change because of the recent regional retreat, even with the hiring of a consultant. I would imagine when all is said and done and more taxpayers’ money is wasted, it will be business as usual. Sprawl will continue unabated (what other reason for a $30-mil- lion-plus 401 interchange at Lak- eridge Road, a mile east of the new Harwood interchange?), congestion will continue to rise, as will property taxes. Durham Chairman Roger An- derson and most of the local mayors (along with their devel- oper buddies) seem intent on bringing Mississauga-style con- gestion to Durham. Unfortunate- ly, they’re succeeding.

It was located just west of Duffins Creek on the north side of Kingston Road. During operation it employed five millers and could produce 200 barrels of flour a day. The 100-foot high elevator was built of hemlock timbers in 1905. In 1934, both the elevator and the mill were destroyed by fire. Moodie’s Motel is located on the land once occu- pied by the mill.

GROEN/ News Advertiser photo To the beat of his own drum DURHAM –– Orion Drums founder and Pickering resident Ron Get set to talk history GTA task force looks at OMB reform DURHAM ––A GTA task force led by Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson continues to look at ways to improve the Ontario Municipal Board, the provincial organization made up of non-elected appointees with the author- ity to overturn Regional, City and Town council planning decisions. Yet members of the task force - made up of council members and mu- nicipal planning staff from the 905, 705 and 416 areas with a mandate to make recommendations for OMB reform to the Province - seem to agree the power- ful OMB has value but needs clearer guidelines and limits. One suggestion made during the task force’s second meeting recently was to establish a ‘gatekeeper,’ an au- thority who would ensure only the most appropriate cases were heard by the OMB. The reasoning behind this is be- cause of the costs to municipalities when OMB hearings are called, some- times for less than major appeals. “But the bar would have to be quite high,” warned Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “You have made your case (to the gate- keeper) and the hearing should go ahead.” Before the task force makes any def- inite decisions, Mr. Anderson called for interested stakeholders to be invited to make presentations before the group. “I hope to hear from the three (provincial) political parties,” he said, adding the task force has only heard di- rectly from the Liberals. The Ontario Liberals are on record as saying that to take action against urban sprawl means ov erhauling the OMB. The Conserva- tives scrapped the NDP’s statement of policies stemming from former Toronto mayor John Sewell’s 1993 Commission on Planning and Development Reform in Ontario in which the OMB was ex- amined. “We should also draw from the aca- demic community,” said Mayor Parish. “From Queen’s (University), the Uni- versity of Toronto, Ryerson (Universi- ty), York (University), and the Universi- ty of Western Ontario.” Mr. Sewell’s name was put forward as one of the pre- senters to be invited. Mr. Anderson said he hopes the task force can make its recommendations before next spring. “I was hoping by March or April so we could deal with this by June because then they’re (provincial politicians) going to be busy.” Speculation is that an election could be called for that time period. The next task force meeting is scheduled for Nov. 18 at which time the committee hopes to begin hearing pre- sentations.

For example: •In a study reported in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, subjects who completed a behavioral treatment program for weight management that included hypnosis lost signifi- cantly more weight than subjects whose treatment plan did not include hypnosis. •A Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology reported on a study of 60 women who were at least 20% overweight. The women who participated in hyp- nosis lost an average of 17 pounds, while the control group lost only a half pound on aver- age. •Other studies show that unlike diets, which can only produce short-term weight loss, the bene- fits of hypnosis increased sub- stantially over time.

Operation Christmas Child asks individuals to fill a shoebox with new toys, school supplies, hygiene items and some candy to be shipped to a child in need. Individuals, churches, busi- nesses and schools have been participating in this program since 1993. The program was started by the charity Samaritan’s Purse and was founded by Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham. Last year 5.4 million gift-filled shoeboxes were col- lected in Australia, Canada, Fin- land, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United States. They were delivered to over 90 countries around the world. To participate in the program choose whether your gift will be for a boy or girl and the age cat- egory two to four, five to nine or 10 to 14. Place a label on your shoebox and include a $5 cheque for shipping. You may include a photograph or an encouraging note. Suggested gifts include: toys, school supplies, hygiene items, colouring books, crayons, picture books, hard candy, gum, ball caps, socks, T-shirts or watches. Do not include: used items, toy guns, knives, choco- late, canned or perishable food, liquids of any kind, medicine, cosmetics or breakable items. Carol Bukoski and Denise Yacknowiec are running this year’s program through the Bap- tist Calvary Church. Shoeboxes may be dropped off between Nov. 12 and 16 at the church, 300 Rossland Rd. E., Oshawa. Or, for other collection centre locations, call the church at 905-433-2960. For more information about Op- eration Christmas Child call 1- 800-663-6500. A.J.

Dr. Rakesh Bhargava says the clin- ic, which opened its doors in mid-Sep- tember at 372 King St. W., allows pa- tients referred by family doctors or the hospital to see one of three cardiolo- gists or the cardiac nurse within three days. That’s a huge improvement over the six- to seven-week waiting period Durham residents had come to expect, he says. “It definitely means rapid access to cardiac care,” Dr. Bhargava says of the clinic’s opening. “We’re hoping to see as many patients as quickly as we can.” Dr. Bhargava says delayed access to cardiologists, testing and surgeries are often cited as contributing factors to a high cardiac mortality rate. Health Canada reports heart disease and stroke is the leading cause of death in the country. The objective of RACC is to facili- tate urgent consultation with a team of cardiologists and avoid unnecessary hospitalization, reducing the burden on the emergency rooms of local hospi- tals. “We’re going to see people quickly and equally as well,” adds Dr. Bharga- va.

The three-time Lake Ontario Sec- ondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) champion St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs suit up against city rivals, the Dunbarton High School Spartans, for the cham- pionship at Oshawa Civic Stadium Nov. 9 at 2:30 p.m. The defending champs had little trouble earning a shot at a fourth con- secutive Durham Region crown after rolling to a convincing 44-0 victory over Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School Celtics in one semifinal con- test, played at St. Mary Tuesday after- noon. In the other semifinal, an underdog Spartans’ squad — the second-seeded team in the LOSSA West Division — handed the previously undefeated Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers of Ajax their first defeat of the season in an 18-6 upset at DO’C, also Tuesday after- noon. DO’C entered the game as the number-one seed in the East Division. For the Spartans, who’ve been qui- etly improving over the course of the season, they’re eager for another shot at the perennial champs from St. Mary. “We like being the underdog be- cause we have nothing to lose,” noted Dunbarton coach Jim Bardgett fol- lowing the semifinal victory. “We’re a better team than when St. Mary beat us (52-8 Sept. 26). We’ll be ready for them. They won’t see the same team they saw the last time.” Tuesday’s win was yet another de- cisive victory for the Monarchs (7-0) who are rapidly approaching dynasty status on the Durham senior gridiron scene. So dominant have they been that they’ve yet to lose a home game in the past six years. Following the Monarchs victory, St. Mary head coach Gordon Judges admitted both DO’C and Dunbarton would be worthy opponents in the LOSSA final. “DO’C and Dunbarton are both ex- cellent football teams. It’s only fitting that one of them is our opponent. We’re going to have to bring our ‘A’ game against them.” Judges noted his offence ran a va- riety of plays at the Celtics, all of them coming up aces. “When you’re playing in Novem- ber, you have to have all facets of your game going. We were ready to take whatever our opponent gave us. We run the ball inside and outside and, of course, pass the ball short or long.” The St. Mary offensive juggernaut received a 150-plus yard passing game from star quarterback Erik Glavic and running back Joe Dublin had another gem of a day, scoring three touchdowns and mowing down the Celtics’ defence for 100-plus yards rushing. Glavic noted the game plan was to run the ball, for the most part, and mix in some long passes. “We wanted to pound the ball inside and outside and burn them deep and that’s what we did,” he said. Dublin added he expects the run- ning attack to play a big role in the final. “We have to come out and pound the ball at them,” he said. The Monarchs led 16-0 at halftime, with Eric Robinson catching a 20- yard touchdown pass from Glavic in the opening quarter. In the second quarter, Triston Walker ran under a long pass from Glavic, with Ben Voss adding the convert for a 13-0 lead. Later in the quarter,Voss was good on a field goal attempt from about 25 yards. In the second half, it was all Dublin as he scored three consecutive touchdowns, the first two on short- yardage situations and the third on a pitch from Glavic that covered about 20 yards. A 40-yard carry down to the Sinclair five-yard line by Walker helped set up the Monarchs’ final touchdown, coming in the fourth quarter. Glavic barged into the end zone for the major. In the Spartans win, Bardgett said the key was his team’s ability to run the ball effectively. “We wanted to keep it on the ground and that’s what we did. We only passed when we had to pass.” The game was not without some controversy. DO’C coach Jim Leckey said a first-quarter ruling against the Chargers’ on a loose ball following a kickoff was pivotal. “That was the turning point. We were moving the ball (offensively) up until that point. It took the life right out of our team,” he said. With the game tied 6-6 late in the fourth quarter, Spartans’ quarterback Ryan Bardgett found Brandon Townsend in the end zone on a 10- yard pass. The two-point convert at- tempt was no good. DO’C looked to get back in the game, but two dropped passes in the last three minutes forced the Chargers to turn the ball over on fourth down. Jeff Murdoch’s second major of the game sealed the victory. DO’C’s lone touchdown came in the third quarter on a gift from the Spartans. A bad snap on a punt put DO’C first-and-goal on the Spartans’ two-yard line. Running back Dan West eventually scored to knot the score at 6-6.

Pickering women earn way to Laval after striking a blow at provincials BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —Two local boxers have earned a shot to go toe-to-toe with a ring foe and perhaps bring home a national title in the process. Liverpool Boxing Club’s Tara Willoughby and Amanda Beaulieu have advanced to the National Senior Boxing Championships in Laval, Que- bec Jan. 16 to 19 where they will enter the ring against the best female fight- ers in the country. They earned their shot at a national title after competing at the Intermedi- ate and Senior Open Provincial Box- ing Championships in Barrie last weekend. Beaulieu, 18, won her 67-kilogram bout against Sault Ste. Marie police of- ficer Karen Bell. Beaulieau beat her 35-year-old opponent on points, 16-8, to win gold and book her ticket to the nationals in Laval. Meanwhile,Willoughby, 26, won in a walkover as there was no one in her 48-kilogram weight class to fight. Willoughby notes it was “extremely disappointing” to go to the provincials only to discover that, after the weigh- in, there was no opponent, thus earn- ing the gold medal by default. “It’s really frustrating,” noted the Pickering resident who has been box- ing for two years out of the Liverpool club. “It feels like you don’t get the re- spect you deserve. When you get a walkover, they don’t respect you as much. It’s not my fault when there’s nobody out there. I’ve always had a difficult time getting fights because I’m so light.” Even without the challenge of fight- ing at the provincials, Willoughby notes she’s ready and able to take on all challengers at nationals. “I feel really confident. Last year was my first year and I think I’ve gained quite a bit more experience over the past year,” she said, adding she credits the work of coaches Pre- ston Roberts and Bil Manderson with helping her prepare for the ring. Training four times a week at the Pickering club, Willoughby says she plans to step up her training regimen to six days a week in preparation for na- tionals. For Beaulieu, it’s her first season boxing at the senior level after a stellar intermediate (18-and-under) career where she won back-to-back national crowns. Roberts is extremely pleased with his fighters’ progress, especially Beaulieu, who hasn’t missed a beat since graduating to the senior level and meeting older and more experienced opponents. “She’s handling the move up to the senior category as well as possible,” he said.

The second-year Panthers’ goalie made 50 saves in the contest, including 13 in the first seven minutes of the first period, against the Spirit. Despite Gray’s heroics, the Panthers went down to defeat 4-2. Dolphins squish playoff foes, advance to semifinals Sunday DURHAM —All three Ajax- Pickering Dolphins Football Club teams advanced to the semifinals this weekend after winning quarter-final playoff games in Pickering Sunday. The tykes and atoms soared past the Etobicoke Eagles 26-6 and 22-10, respectively, while the peewees prevailed 35-0 over the Markham Raiders in Central Ontario Minor Football League playoff action. This Sunday, the peewees travel to Burlington to face the rival Stampeders. Meanwhile, the atoms travel to Oshawa to meet the Hawkeyes at 11:30 a.m. The semifinal opponent for the tykes wasn’t known at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. The tykes started slowly against Etobicoke, giving up a touchdown in the first quarter. It was all Dolphins from there, as they scored 24 unanswered points. David Wilson scored the Dol- phins’ opening touchdown with kicker Giancarlo Amenta boot- ing the convert. Tyler Grayer and Nick Beurling caught touch- down passes from quarterback Jonathan Gray. Kareem Tucker scored the final touchdown. Amenta also added another con- vert. The Dolphins’defensive front five of Jelane Roberts, Michael Roache, Kyle DeBollotte, Jordan Ali and Brandon Misseri were solid. Misseri provided several big tackles to go along with a 20-yard interception return. An- drew Goary, Cole Tudor and Dil- lon Campbell also had strong games. Meanwhile, the atoms re- grouped after trailing 10-6 at halftime. The defence was impenetra- ble in the second half, led by Sean Carter, Mathew Blum, Myles Daly, David McIlravey, Alexander Ko, Kurtis Barrett, Michael Portner, Andrew Quit- tenton, Jordon McLaughlin and Brett Jamieson. Jamieson had an interception. Quarterback Andrew Lim threw a long bomb to receiver Christopher Piercey to get the Dolphins on the board in the sec- ond half. Running back Jer- mayne Goodridge ran for two touchdowns. Offensive linemen Taylor Rice, Adam Konkle, Jor- don Oram, Brandon Wood, Brendan Farrell, Tyler Harding played well. The peewees were near per- fect in chalking up the dominat- ing victory. Running back Jayson DiNatale scored two touchdowns on the ground on his way to well over 100 yards rush- ing. Fullback Jahmoy Tyrell and running back Tristan Ming also provided a number of exciting running plays. Quarterback Jesse Andrews’ passing attack was in full gear, completing passes to Cecil Cherrie, David Priestman and tight end Ben Schembri, who scored on a 45- yard pass-and-run play. The offensive line, centred by Brendan Eadie, opened gaping holes. Linemen Dylan Lock, Richard Morrison, Brendon San- tos, Ben Schembri, Andrew Smith, Chris Webber, Alex Amato, Josh Fudge, Scott Blake and Jesse MacPherson con- tributed strong efforts. Special teams chipped in with a big game-altering touchdown by Schembri in the second quar- ter and also scored five points on converts. Placeholder Travis Thomas executed a perfect pass into the end zone on a high snap from centre, which caught the Raiders completely by surprise. Kicker Justice Mounsey booted the ball with precision and punt return specialist Scott MacDon- ald provided excellent field posi- tion. The defence received three interceptions from Elboron Barzegar, two from safety Shan- ic Thomas and one more from safety Troy Davis. Davis ran the ball back 70 yards for a touch- down. Defensive tackles Craig Smith and Cameron McNair and linebackers Brent Ste-Croix, Nick Williams and Barzegar punished their opponents. De- fensive backs Robert Spagnola, Troy Bentley, Codee Whelan, Bryon Metcalfe, Alex Fedosen and Keith Hunter and lineback- ers Scott Campbell and Dan McIlravey were unyielding. BY JIM EASSON Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —A record number of wannabe and experienced curlers soaked up knowledge of the sport, making Satur- day’s clinic at the Annan- dale Curling Club the best yet. A total of 109 attended (84 novice and 25 ad- vanced), and would have been in tighter quarters if the 13 no-shows had also attended. Susannah Moylan was head instructor and, with the help of 10 volunteer coaches, enlightened the novice contingent. Meanwhile, Jennifer McGhee, along with two other coaches, handled the advanced curlers. Event convener Jim Easson heard many posi- tive comments on the concept and fulfilment of the day. ••• An Annandale senior men’s team will represent the club at the first On- tario Curling Association event of the curling cal- endar. Gord Norton will skip his quartet of Bert Du- rand, John Smith, and Vince Bain in the Mike’s Hard Lemonade senior men’s zone event in Whitby Nov. 18. Two winning teams at zones will advance to re- gionals at the Bayview Country Club, starting Nov. 30. ••• The first bonspiel of the season at Annandale is the Mixed Stakes this weekend, Nov. 7 and 8. The event is full again this year with 32 mixed teams competing in a points competition for the $500 first prize. Six of the teams en- tered are visiting from other clubs. The event features lots of fun off the ice, too.

PICKERING —The Picker- ing Boyer Pontiac Panthers did nothing to avoid slipping further into the cellar of the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock- ey League’s South Conference standings. The Panthers dropped its fourth and fifth consecutive games on the weekend, losing 6- 3 to the visiting Oshawa Legion- aires at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night and then surrendering a 4-2 decision to the visiting Stouffville Spirit Sunday night. The losses buried the Panthers (3-16-2-0 for eight points) deeper in the South Conference base- ment, as they sit a point behind eighth-place Thornhill Rattlers and four points in arrears of sev- enth-place Ajax Axemen. On Sunday, the Panthers’ de- fence was porous to say the least as the Spirit peppered the Picker- ing net with 54 shots. Starting goalie Scott Gray made a whop- ping 50 saves in the contest, in- cluding 13 shots on net before the game was seven minutes old. The Panthers netminder allowed only one goal, a Stouffville power- play marker, under a barrage of shots in the first period. Jamie Wright and James Gadon scored the Panthers’goals. On Friday, Oshawa continued its domination of the Panthers this season with their fourth win of the campaign. Trailing 5-0 deep into the third period, the Panthers refused to lie down, scoring three goals in a two- minute span in the final frame, but fell short of the comeback. Oshawa added an empty-net marker to seal the Panthers’ fate. Rob Foster, Andrew Dis- sanayake and Andrew Jackson scored the Panthers’ goals. The Panthers host the Vaughan Vipers at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex Friday night at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Pan- thers travel to Ajax to play the Axemen at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. Teams continue to feast on Panthers SCOREBOARD PICKERING HOCKEY ASSOCIATION ATOM HOUSE LEAGUE STANDINGS As of Nov. 3/02 TEAM G W L T GF GA PTS Papps 7 5 0 2 34 18 12 7/Eleven 7 4 2 1 29 21 9 Master Mech7 3 1 3 26 20 9 Monarch K. 7 4 2 1 23 26 9 Pick Old-T. 7 3 2 2 35 28 8 Boyer Pont. 7 4 3 0 33 21 8 Legion 606 7 2 2 3 25 23 7 Score Net. 7 2 3 2 24 30 6 3R Collision 7 2 4 1 22 32 5 Slo-Sports 7 2 5 0 40 50 4 Pick Honda 7 1 4 2 22 35 4 OPG 7 1 5 1 17 34 3 NOVEMBER 3 SCORES The Score Network 5 vs. Master Mechanic 5; Monarch Kitchens 1 vs. Boyer Pontiac 6; 7/Eleven 5 vs. Pickering Old Timers 2; Pickerng Slo-Sports Oldtimers 5 vs. Pick- ering Honda 8; Ontario Power Generation 2 vs. 3R Collision 3; Papps 1 vs. Legion 606 1.

IT’S BOOT SEASON BY TONY DOYLE Staff Editor AJAX —A look can say so much. And Ryan Fedorczenko figures his ability to capture his grandmother at just the right moment for ‘Ageless Beauty’ helped push his carbon pencil submission to the top at the Fourth An- nual PineRidge Arts Council and Town of Ajax Juried Art Show. “I’d say the expression on her face; I was able to capture it, and I hope on top of that, (it was recognized for) the technical aspects of the work,” the Os- hawa resident said in an interview be- fore the show’s gala opening Nov. 1 at the McLean Community Centre. His grandmother, Bernice McMullan, watched as he received his first-place award at the event. Fedorczenko’s work earned the best in show award from this year’s compe- tition, which attracted 188 entries from 101 different artists. More than 100 people turned out for the gala, taking in the 61 pieces selected for hanging and the official award presentations by community and business officials. Possibly making Fedorczenko’s ac- complishment all the more impressive was the fact it’s the first show he’s ever entered outside high school. Not that he’s new to the art world. In fact, de- spite his relatively youthful 26 years, that couldn’t be further from the truth. While he’s painted since grade school, it was a post-high school trip that really started him on the path to becoming a professional artist. During his travels in Florence he met classical painter John Angel. In the time since, he’s studied clas- sical painting and drawing extensively with the world-renowned artist at both Angel’s Italian and Toronto-based stu- dios. However, he also significantly praised the contribution of two teach- ers, Craig Wildman and Loreen Greer, from Oshawa’s O’Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute, for aiding in his success. “If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have pursued a career after high school,” said Fedorczenko, adding, in his opinion, there isn’t a better arts program anywhere. His first love is portraiture, which makes his three-quarter-bust winning work seem somewhat more appropri- ate. “I’m a realist painter, a naturalist and possibly most importantly a figu- rative painter. Any and all of those de- scribes me pretty accurately,” he said. He noted working a decorative painter’s job in Toronto-area homes by day and studying whenever he can has left little time for shows, although given his inaugural success, he hopes that soon changes. “My exact thoughts (on entering the PineRidge show) were I need to enter more juried shows and open up new doors and meet new artists to see what’s out there,” he said, adding, “You never know if you are on the right track. I guess it takes a juried show to let you know, or tell you you’re not.” Fedorczenko said his plans for the immediate future are to continue enter- ing more shows, have more figurative work shown and study and travel as often as possible. Show co-ordinator April Polak called the large number of artists and entries this year “overwhelming. “It was excellent. Every year there are more and more artists. This year there are new people I haven’t seen be- fore, new artists and repeat artists.” Professional artist and international lecturer Stephanie Rayner was the show’s juror. Along with Fedorczenko, numerous other winners took home prizes rang- ing from $50 to $750 for Best in Show. Ajax resident Miles Tsang earned Best in Youth honours for his work ‘Fire and Ice,’while a pair of Pickering residents earned the Mayor’s Award, Hi-Sook Barker in the adult category and Amber Bond for youth. Award of Excellence recipients were Jocelyn Ball and Dianne Hor- vath, of Ajax, Tim Packer from Whit- by, and Oshawa’s Joanne Hetherington at the adult level. Bob Xu and Danielle Manning, both of Pickering, were hon- oured for youth. Receiving adult honourable men- tions were Tony Rainford and Robert Hinves, of Pickering, Cannington resi- dent Charlot Morgan-McNeil, and Vanessa Pandos, while Manning, Tsang and Newcastle’s Ryan Howe earned youth nods. The show continues at the centre, 95 Magill Dr., at Westney Road in Ajax, until Dec. 1. Admission is free. BY TONY DOYLE Staff Editor AJAX —It seems the comic- book world may have a new marvel on its hands. That would be 13-year-old Ajax resident Miles Tsang, who took home Best in Youth honours from the Fourth Annual PineRidge Arts Coun- cil and Town of Ajax Juried Art Show for ‘Fire and Ice’. The work depicts a man throwing an upper cut at a sinister-looking dragon while the two are engaged in a mighty strug- gle. “I’m very fond of Japanese-style drawing,” said Miles, explaining his winning entry. “I always wanted to draw some- thing like that so I was kind of ex- perimenting.” It seems experimentation paid off handsomely for the Grade 8 student at St. James Catholic School. Miles also earned an honourable mention for another, albeit untitled, entry. That picture shows a man looking through some bushes at the activity being carried out by some aliens near their spaceship. “It was kind of my own style, I never really attempted something like that so I’m glad it turned out well,” he said. Contests and earning accolades for his work aren’t anything new for Miles, who has entered shows twice before at the Station Gallery in Whit- by. The first time around he finished second, while the second time it was a first. In addition, he was also a provincewide finalist in a school milk program poster contest. With his resume of accomplish- ments in the art world quickly grow- ing, it’s not a stretch to imagine where the young man would like to end up one day. “I want to be a comic artist,” he said. “Not like those comic strips you find in the Sunday newspaper, some- thing a little more serious like Dark Horse or Marvel.” Miles noted he’s been drawing “since I could pick up a pencil basi- cally”, adding he likes drawing im- ages from the motion pictures, ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, November 6, 2002 PAGE B3 A/P Every Monday & Tuesday in November TICKET WINDOW TicketsTicketsTicke ts BLOOMINGTON GOODWOOD You Could Win FREE TICKETS to • Fabulous Stage Shows • Concerts • Exciting Events For contest rules and regulations, or for information on how to enter, visit our Rapid Rewards Players Club Centre.

CD launch emerges from fond farewell DURHAM —Before Don Stewart bid a fond farewell to his hometown last summer, he and his musical part- ner of 25 years, David McCauley, spent three evenings in a recording studio. Their mission: to create a mu- sical memory of their time together. “Well, Don did leave in July and is settling most comfortably in his new city,” says McCauley. “He has been performing, now as a solo act, in sev- eral coffee houses and clubs in the Los Angeles area.” But from the recordings made by the two men at Gerry Fox’s local ‘FoxSongs’studio last spring, the duo knew they had more than just a per- sonal souvenir of their musical histo- ry. “Don and I were extremely pleased and somewhat surprised with the quality of the recording,” says Mc- Cauley. The rest, as they say, is history. A Stewart and McCauley CD called ‘The Vanishing Point’ was launched Oct. 19 when Stewart returned for a visit. The progressive-folk combo’s loyal fans can now buy the eclectic mix of material they’ve heard for more than two decades. With original cuts of their own and interpretations of others by songwriters they admire, the CD promises to help fill the void when Stewart heads back to LA. Stewart was a history teacher at O’Neill Colle- giate. He re- tired after 30 years just be- fore leaving for the coast and joined Mc- Cauley and members of the O’Neill Folk Club for a musical farewell last June. The fan base for the two musicians remains a loyal one and harkens back to the late 1970s when the two performed under the unlikely name, ‘Chicken Spit.’At one venue in the city that didn’t real- ly have much of a stage area, Mc- Cauley and Stewart performed in front of a chicken rotisserie, ergo Chicken Spit. It was a time when the Toronto- based folk scene was producing some memorable music and Chicken Spit’s mission was to introduce a larger au- dience to the words and music of Willie P. Bennett, David Wiffen, Fras- er and Debolt, Brent Titcomb, Dave Essig and Watson and Reynolds. “One of the highlights for us at a folk club in Greenbank was when we opened for Wiffen,” recalls Mc- Cauley. "We knew then we'd come a long way from Chicken Spit." Through McCauley’s sideline as a booking agent, the duo got to meet and befriend many of their musical mentors.

It was delivered from Detroit to Oil Springs on the train in a box. Some assembly was required. Mr. Whittaker had to make his own license plate and since gas stations were not yet invented, he bought gas at the drug store. When he taught himself to drive, he drove to Sarnia.
