Durham motorists are finding out what their com- mercial vehicle counterparts already know. Insurance rates are going up. “My insurance rates have increased a lot,” says Mosnaf Naeam of Safe Drivers Cana- da Ltd., in Oshawa. “Last year it cost me $1,800 and this year it was $3,800. That’s for one car.” Each instructor at his company has experienced the same type of increase, he says. Driving schools are getting hit with 100-per cent increas- es on average, says John Svensson, president of the Driving School Association of Ontario, who adds students can expect to pick up some of that expense in their course fee. At Noble Transport in Uxbridge, the last two years have brought big insurance rate increases that have just added to the industry’s woes of higher gas prices and a stronger Canadian dollar. Noble, a general freight oper- ator with 18 trucks, has seen a $40,000 increase since 2000 and Rob Leek, company president says, based on what he’s heard from other operators, he expects that cost will rise again when his renewal comes up in Septem- ber. “It’s almost doubled since 2001. It’s gone from 2.3 per cent of our total operating cost to 4.3 per cent of our cost. We can’t pass the cost on because the trucking in- dustry is too competitive,” says Mr. Leek. Transport companies, on average, have experienced in- creases of 32 per cent since 2000 while “increases of over 300 per cent have not been uncommon,” says Ontario Trucking Association spokesman Rebecka Torn. Meanwhile, as the rest of us get our insurance re- newals, we can expect in- creases too. On average mo- torists can expect a 20-per cent increase, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, which last week re- leased statistics showing from March 2002 to March 2003 rates increased by 20.1 per cent in Ontario. That is in addition to a national aver- age increase of 15 per cent in 2002 and a nine-per cent in- crease across Canada in 2001. In addition to higher rates, some drivers, particularly those who are considered high risk or who default on Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Rob Leer is dealing with an increase of $40,000 on his company’s in- surance rates over the last two years. The story is the same across the region as more and more people are being hit by higher rates.

Hospital gets the right medicine Smog settles over Pickering Let there be lights Pickering moves ahead at park despite funding concerns BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––A new park opening later this year along Frenchman’s Bay will be in lights after all. Pickering council decided Monday night to spend $65,000 this year to light Progress Frenchman’s Bay East Park. Raising concerns for safety, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland called the lights “one of the critical items” at the new park. “If makes sense to proceed and do it all at the same time.” Local councillors allocated $720,128 in the 2003 budget for the park, which is slated for the east side of Frenchman’s Bay, stretching roughly be- tween Annland and Com- merce streets. However, original tenders ranged from $994,791 to $1.1 million causing City staff to suggest a number of items be removed from the bid. As a re- Advisory in effect for Durham until further notice BByy JJeennnniiffeerr SSttoonnee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– The region re- mains under its first smog advisory of the year today as hot temperatures and south- west winds were expected to continue to cause bad air through much of the province. “The advisory is in effect until further notice,” con- firms Environment Ministry spokesman Mark Rabbior. The advisory was first is- sued Sunday to start Mon- day, and its continuation isn’t a surprise, he says. “We had expected it would last a couple of days, with the hot temperatures we have and the winds coming up from the southwest, which is bringing in air pollu- tion from the U.S.,” notes Mr. Rabbior. Mo re than 50 per cent of this area’s air pollution comes from sources in the United States, says Mr. Rab- bior. Smog advisories are is- sued by the Environment Ministry when air quality and weather conditions are likely to produce elevated smog levels.

Standing on the west lawn and future site of the new wing, Ontario Minister of Health Tony Clement signed over a $17.1-million cheque to hospital officials yesterday morning. The funds will go toward improving access to emer- gency and diagnostic ser- vices, as well as expand the hospital’s ambulatory care unit, complex continuing care beds and mental health services. “You have been loud and clear in the way you have ex- pressed a desire for bigger and better facilities,” the minister told the group. “It’s a great day for this community and I’m glad to bring this good news to your ears. You are one step closer to having a wonderful state- of-the-art hospital.” Expanding Ajax’s emer- gency department has been Rouge Valley Health’s “high- est priority” since the hospi- tal corporation was formed in 1998, said president and chief executive officer Hume ✦See Air page A5 ✦See Councillor page A2 ✦See Whole page A4 ✦See Rouge page A4 SOUNDING OFF Truly global effort went into Pontiac GTO exhaust system Wheels pullout A STEP BACK Sewell talks rebels at museum village foundation meeting Entertainment, B4 Briefly...

The strongest hold power in prison and weak or vulnerable inmates try to portray themselves as dangerous, an expert on in- mate culture testified Tuesday. “In jail, men do things that try to make them look more powerful, for example weightlifting and bodybuilding... Some will play roles. One common role is portraying yourself as a dangerous individual, some- one to be reckoned with,” said Dr. William Palmer, a correctional psychologist who has spent his career working within the Canadian penitentiary system. Dr. Palmer was testifying as a defence witness at the attempted murder trial of Marlon Maragh, 23, and gave jurors a por- trait of jailhouse life. The Crown alleges Mr. Maragh is the gunman who shot Teran Richards during a pickup basketball game at Pine Ridge High School on April 3, 2001. Court has heard Mr. Maragh confessed to the shooting to an undercover police of- ficer posing as a gang member in his cell at an Oshawa courthouse. However, defence counsel David Bayliss is arguing his client was just trying to “im- press” the undercover officer, who he thought was a violent criminal, and his confession was false, a form of “bravado.” Dr. Palmer told court prison is a place “rife with lawlessness and violence” and dominated by prisoners who wield power and control. “The inmate culture is developed largely around criminal values,” he said. In the jail environment, weak or smaller inmates are generally the most vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults, extortion and other kinds of control. They have several options for self-protec- tion, Dr. Palmer said. “The standard one is to go to the author- ities... the downside is it makes you into a ‘rat’ and increases your problems in the long run,” Dr. Palmer said. Another route is to request protective custody, where sex offenders and informers are usually placed, he said. But that means 23 hours-a-day lock-up. Two common means of self-preservation are to form a relationship with other in- mates who agree “to watch your back,” or develop a reputation as dangerous by false- ly claiming to have committed crimes or “play crazy,” Dr. Palmer said. He said inmates concerned about their safety will frequently lie about crimes they committed or embellish them to enhance their reputation. He testified he wouldn’t be surprised if a slight, unsophisticated inmate such as Mr. Maragh confessed to a violent crime, even though he was innocent. “I wouldn’t consider it to be an everyday occasion but it wouldn’t surprise me,” Dr. Palmer said in reply to a question by Mr. Bayliss. He said he has dealt with several false jailhouse confessions in his career includ- ing three cases where innocent men con- fessed to murder. One confessed to embarrass his police- officer father, another was a compulsive liar and the third confessed as a form of “self-protection,” he said. Mr. Richards survived three bullets in the back and one in the elbow from a .357- handgun during the after-hours game in the high school gymnasium. Mr. Maragh will testify in his own de- fence, Mr. Bayliss said during an opening jury address Tuesday. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 25, 2003 PAGE A3 A/P 880 Champlain Avenue, OSHAWA, Ontario L1A 7J6 (905) 434-6550 www.mackieharleydavidson.com Exit Thickson Road North off the 401, to the first street on the right.

Let’s make it a Million Dollar Year Inmates ‘role play’ while in jail durhamregion.com Board honours top students DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Durham’s Catholic school board recognized some of its finest stu- dents at the June 9 board meeting. The eight pupils were chosen at their schools as prospective board nominees for the Ontario Catholic School Trustee Asso- ciation’s (OCSTA) youth award. The OCSTA award recognizes one elementary and one secondary student in the province who exhibit strong Catholic leadership qualities, are committed to their families, and take part in activities at their schools and in the community. Michael Seeley, a student at St. Cather- ine of Siena Catholic School in Ajax, and Lauri Dunn, who attends Oshawa’s Mon- signor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School, were doubly honoured: they were nominat- ed by their schools and chosen as the Durham Catholic District School Board’s two representatives for the youth award, handed out last month. Also picked as school representatives were: Carlyn Tancioco of Our Lady of the Bay Catholic School in Pickering; Thomas ‘Tommy’ Parker from St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School in Pickering; Adam Sirek of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax; Meaghan Ross, a student at Mon- signor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in Oshawa; Adam Morrison, who at- tends All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby; and Nadia Kang from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering.Recycle Pleaded guilty over lack of permits, resulting sediment BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––The Ontario Ministry of Nat- ural Resources has fined the City $25,000 for allowing work that deposited silt in a local creek. The charge stems back to December 2001, when the ministry received a complaint about two large pieces of heavy machinery working in Amberlea Creek in Pickering. Appropriate sediment controls were not in place and silt-clogged water from the work site flowed downstream, said conser- vation officer Mitch Thinny. “The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act requires a permit to do work in and around a stream,” he explained. Further investigation revealed the City had contracted to have the work done with- out proper permits to ensure fish and fish habitat protection, Mr. Thinny added. The City’s contractor, Brinkman and As- sociates Reforestation Limited from North Bay, pleaded guilty to a $10,000 fine in Feb- ruary. Pickering pleaded guilty June 12 and has been fined $5,000 under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act because of the lack of permits, and $20,000 under the Fisheries Act because of the resulting sediment, said Mr. Thinny. Excessive sediment can harm fish by destroying aquatic food, hamper res- piration, cause stress and smother eggs, the ministry reported. Pickering had undertaken the work on Amberlea Creek because it was concerned erosion along the creek could cause some structures on adjacent properties to col- lapse, said City solicitor John Reble. “The City was attempting to get a permit and thought it was in the process of getting one when the charge was laid,” he said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 25, 2003 PAGE A5 P OFFER AVAILABLE ONLY AT THIS ROGERS™ AT&T ® STORE Pickering Town Centre (2nd Floor, beside Sears) (905) 420-0744 Ask how you can get an extra 25 anytime minutes per month!

The fifth an- nual Canada Day and Mus- lim Heritage Night Celebra- tions are Mon- day, June 30 in the HMS Ban- quet Hall at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre, 75 Centennial Rd. It begins at 8:30 p.m. with a dinner, fol- lowed by the awards ceremo- ny. Then Canada Day is celebrat- ed at 12:01 a.m. “Building bridges of un- derstanding is our mandate,” said Mobeen Khaja, presi- dent of the As- sociation of Progressive Muslims of Canada. “On this oc- casion, we cele- brate Canada Day in a very unique way and are probably the first ones in the country to do so,” he said. “We also recog- nize the contri- butions and achievements of Canadian Muslims, insti- tutions and in- dividuals from other faith groups that are actively en- gaged in pro- moting peace and under- standing or working to- wards improv- ing the lives of fellow Canadi- ans.” This year’s recipients in- clude Kingsview United Church in Oshawa; Campaign Against Child Poverty; Nahed Eid, editor-in- chief of the Arab Star; Khaled Homaidan, president of the Arab Heritage Centre; scholar and author Mo- hamed Yasin Hammoudeh; Dr. Hanif Kas- sam, acting c ommissioner and health offi- cer for York Re- g ion; and artist T asneem Sachee. For more in- formation about the event, call Mr. Khaja at 905- 683-7447.durhamregion.comAdvisory, there is a high probability of widespread and persistent elevated smog levels occurring within the next 24 hours. When smog advisories are issued, the min- istry encourages people to lower smog- causing emissions, and people are advised to avoid unnecessary exposure to smog. To help spare the air, the ministry sug- gests actions such as reducing car use, turning off lights, turning down the air conditioner, limiting use of small-engine tools like lawn mowers, delaying exercise, and avoiding use of gas barbecues. At 3 p.m. Tuesday, the Oshawa area was ranked at 59 on the Air Quality Index. Air quality between 50 and 99 on the scale is considered ‘poor’. A termination notice will be issued when the smog advisory is expected to end, says Mr. Rabbior. ✦ Air from page A1 Air quality registers ‘poor’ P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 25, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Insurance exclusions include terrorism acts I was really bored the other day so I actually read all the documentation that came with my property insurance renewal form. And you know, surpris- ingly, some of that stuff can get pretty sexy. I really should've been reading it all along too be- cause I'm fairly certain there's stuff on there now that wasn't on there even 10 years ago. For instance, I don't want to brag but I happen to have a terrorism exclusion endorse- ment, a grow operations exclu- sion endorsement and a fungi and fungal derivatives section. Cool huh? Now, I don't speak insurance too well, but what I think that basically means is that if some crazed Iraqi with athlete's foot blows up my house while growing dope in the basement, I'm screwed. No- body covers their own hiney like an insurance company. I have to admit however, I'm a little befuddled by the whole terrorism exclusion endorse- ment thing. I live in Sunder- land, population 900 and change. I can't even remember the last time I saw a notice for a Hamas meeting at the Legion or a strawberry intifada dinner or a Jack and Jill jihad. These things may go on, of course, but I don't think they're well- attended. My terrorism exclusion en- dorsement got me to thinking though. I mean, those insur- ance people are pretty sharp folks. They wouldn't put some- thing like that in there if they didn't have some kind of insid- er information. Otherwise it would be a massive waste of money wouldn't it? And insur- ance companies, you may re- member, throw nickels around like they're manhole covers. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more I realized how blind I had been to the enormous potential for cata- strophe in my little rural com- munity. Think about it. Sup- pose somebody hijacked a ma- nure spreader and crashed it into Town Hall. Can you imag- ine the carnage? Or what if a crazed suicide bomber ran into the Seed n' Feed and blew him- self up? We'd be up to our armpits in Purina Horse Chow. And those are the easy tar- gets. Any terrorist worth his salt would go for the infra- structure. Blow up a beer truck and you could bring most small towns to their knees. Take out the Co-op and you paralyze a r ural community. Nobody's farming anything without rub- ber boots and overalls. And if you really want to break our spirits, tear down our arenas or our ballparks or, God forbid, our Legions. These places are the heart and soul of our com- munities. They are the glue that holds all of us together. Now that I think about it, maybe that's the problem in the Middle East? Maybe all those Palestinians and Israelis need is just a good ol lob ball tournament or a ringette game or a Lions Club roast beef din- ner. I'm telling you, you can't go to one of those things without making at least a few friends. Maybe the best way to get rid of my terrorist exclusion en- dorsement is to invite a whole whack of those folks over here to see what community is real- ly about? Tell the gang down at the bakery to start cranking out the pita bread. I think I'm on to something here.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ TONY DOYLE, MANAGING EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 254 Letters to the Editor 456 Kingston Rd. W., Pickering Village First title to the property is listed as 1795 to Major John Smith, father of the Surveyor-General and Commandant at Fort Nia- gara, who held 6,400 acres in Pickering Township. This house was built in the 1830s and is believed to be the oldest building in Pickering Village. Based on land registry records, it is possible that this parcel of land may have been partially destroyed by the 1905 fire of Pickering College as there was a drop in the property value when it was sold in 1908. More to Fr aser rankings than meets the eye TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Report leaves rank feel- ings,' June 18. It is unfortunate the News Advertiser did not more clearly and accurately identify the Fraser Institute (FI). The arti- cle leaves one with the impres- sion the institute, a well-known, well-organized and, above all, a well-funded right-wing lobby organization, established in 1974 and headquartered in Van- couver, is expressing legitimate views of concern on public edu- cation. Nothing could be further from the truth. This organiza- tion has, in recent years, been increasingly successful in pro- moting its policies of less gov- ernment, low social spending, privatization, deregulation, and other public policies that more closely resemble those in the U.S. Ranking schools according to certain performance criteria r uns the risk of inviting a charge of hypocrisy unless the Fraser Institute is prepared to reveal a complete list of names of those funding the organiza- tion. The fact that a provincial election is on the horizon and that public funding for private schools will be an issue has more to do with the release of the school rankings, I suspect, than the institute's stated con- cern over test results. Public and Catholic school supporters as well as parents must be on guard and watch closely to see which political parties will support funding for private schools which, when fully implemented, will further undermine and erode public education in this province. HHeerrmmaann HH.. EEvveerrttmmaann,, PPiicckkeerriinngg We must end unnecessary visits to doctors TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: As we continue to recover from the latest strain of SARS on our already over-burdened health-care system and listen to what little money is available from our provincial and federal governments, I would like to offer a view that might help f ind dollars in the future. I would like to ask why our provincial and federal govern- ments let our corporations con- tinue to abuse our health-care system. Why is it necessary for workers who might be ill with a 24-to-72-hour illness which re- quires nothing more than a few Tylenol and bed rest to recover, to go to their family doctor or a walk-in clinic? The only reason for going to the doctor or clinic is to retain a medical note to take to their supervisor on their return to work as proof they were ill. All these visits are paid for by OHIP, not by the corporation. Perhaps if the corporations feel the need to have this much dis- trust with their employees, they should be required to re- imburse OHIP for these visits. Or why not pay for and set up their own medical clinics so that the employees they found honest enough to hire in the f irst place can go to verify that they are really ill? If we were to look over OHIP's records for visits such as the above and put an end to this abuse, maybe we would not be feeling the pinch in our med- ical system today. When a truly necessary reason for going to our doctors or health-care facil- ities arise then there would be funds available.

Whitby resident David Zekveld, 18, credits his deci- sion to study nuclear engineering in part on the public- ity raised by local media in the ITER bid. Mr. Zekveld, a student with a 92 per cent average who has just fin- ished his high school career at R.S. McLaughlin Voca- tional Institute in Oshawa, has landed the $28,000 Chancellor's scholarship to attend the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Mr. Zekveld can't wait to get started at Ontario's brand new university. "Being part of a new university and the first class is really exciting," he says. After all the lobbying, all the money raised, all the construction, Mr. Zekveld and his fellow scholarship winners put a student face on the inaugural class at Ontario's newest university. More than 800 students are registered to hit the north Oshawa campus this September, the final piece in the puzzle to the dream of a Durham university. Mr. Zekveld and many others will now be able to at- tend a university close to home. They can choose to save many thousands of dollars they would otherwise have to pay in room and board. The arrival of a univer- sity here may well make the difference between heading on to post-secondary education and foregoing the ex- perience. Clearly, these scholarship winners are in a special class. They have truly earned their place at UOIT. In addition to Mr. Zekveld, three students earned President's scholarships of $24,000 each including Blackstock's Shane Hart. Lisa Culbert of Belleville and Bayden Pritchard of Greenly also were awarded Presi- dent's scholarships. Those who received Founder's scholarships worth $20,000 are a pair of Whitby resi- dents, Sarah Rowe and Matt Van Wieringen, both of whom attended Sinclair Secondary School. Kelsey Der- mott of Sundridge also was awarded a Founder's schol- arship. The announcement on the scholarships is just one more step in completing the dream many have had for a university here. The passion and vision of many, most notably Durham College president Gary Polonsky, will very soon be realized. However, there is still much to be done to complete the dream. Dr. Polonsky is hard at it trying to raise the massive amount of money necessary to finalize the uni- versity. His goal is to see a 'Princeton of the north' in Durham Region, an elite post-secondary institution combining the very best of the college and university experience here. There is a long way to go, but based on what has happened so far, don't bet against it. 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 cityofpickering.com905.420.2222 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL DATE MEETING TIME July 2 Committee of Adjustment 7:00 pm July 28 City Council Meeting 7:30 pm July 28 Committee of the Whole 7:30 pm All meetings are open to the public.

For many, it can mean putting savings on the line and many worry-filled, sleepless nights. Then there are the long days necessary to get the enter- prise up and running, often going it quite alone. That’s where the Durham Home and Small Business As- sociation steps in. The non- profit organization serving the region not only provides its members with the chance to share information and net- work, its monthly meetings offer an opportunity for fellow- ship. Anne Louise Currie is presi- dent of DHSBA, and runs her own Oshawa business, the We b development company Digital Ripple. It was four years ago in Kamloops, B.C. when Ms. Currie took the plunge and set out on her own. Moving to On- tario while nurturing her new venture, she says the home and small business associa- tion she found here meant a lot. “It’s like an incubator,” she says. “Our members have been in business an average of from one to five years. For the newer members, we try to pro- vide a safe place to network but also a place where we can put competition at the door.” Ms. Currie is not unlike many of the members. She worked 12 years for a big cor- poration. “If I have a question, I still have lots of former col- leagues to bounce things off. Now I also have a group of DHSBA members in the same position.” Riding high these days after her recent DHSBA ‘Business of the Year’ award win is Susan Mladenovich, owner of The Accounting Department. “Of course I am very proud and honoured to receive this award,” says Ms. Mladen- ovich. “All the nominees are exceptional business owners. For me, this award has special meaning because I have many clients who are members of the DHSBA. So this award is an indicator that my clients are happy with me and my services.” Ms. Mladenovich, 37, works out of her home and has two associates. As fate would have it, she started her accounting business on Sept. 10, 2001 - the day before terrorists struck south of the border. But what started off with a cloud of potential doom has not made her regret going into business for herself. “Initially, the biggest chal- lenge is making enough money to stay in business long enough to allow for growth,” she explains. “Even in a ser- vice business like mine, there are many expenses required to get up and running. The on- going challenge is to achieve and maintain balance in your work and life. As a sole propri- etor, you are responsible for getting the work and getting the work done. “Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day,” adds Ms. Mladenovich. But the results of her hard work have paid off, quite liter- ally. “I have a tax client for whom we discovered an error on a prior year’s return that resulted in a refund to him of over $11,000,” she says. “Per- sonally, the highlight has been that I can be the master of my own schedule, without having to answer to someone else.” Ms. Mladenovich served as DHSBA’s treasurer last year, a little more than a year after joining. “I found the group in September 2001 and have been a member ever since,” she says. “It offers a forum to get together with others who understand your situation. The people there are genuine and helpful. I don’t believe I would have succeeded with- out the support of the group.” The association has about 35 members representing businesses that typically have one or two employees. “It’s challenging starting out on your own,” says Ms. Currie. “It’s been a soft econo- my. For my own business, when the Internet economy collapsed, I felt I had to strug- gle to recover. But the last couple of months have been really good.

Billboard JUNE 25, 2003 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Making a point AAJJAAXX –––– Success, stories and what the future holds were the orders of the day last week as Girls Incorporated of Durham (formerly Big Sisters of Ajax and Pick- ering) held its annual general meeting. Organization president Mary Dunlop was among those speaking at the Kinsmen Heritage Centre. Local cadets do Durham proud at Juno Beach Compliments ‘universal’ for role played in opening of memorial Centre BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The trip of a lifetime. That’s what two local councillors are calling their time spent visiting the new Juno Beach Centre and other various war memorial sites in France earlier this month. “To walk one of the cemeteries and see the tombs row on row just put tears in your eyes,” said Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean. “It really gave us a new perspective of the sacrifice some of these men and women made for their country.” Wa rd 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan spearheaded the community fund- raising campaign to send local veter- ans Jack Bates and Hal Whitten, along with representatives from the 2525 Pickering Army Cadets, 244 Har- wood Sea Cadets and 856 Pickering Air Cadets to the June 6 opening of the centre. Both councillors paid their own ticket, said Coun. Ryan. “The whole experience was a won- derful moving experience to see the two vets’ admiration for the cadets and the bond that grew between them over the week was really something to watch,” he said. Pickering’s 12 young representa- tives were the only cadets to have an active role in the opening, he said. They assisted veterans upon arrival at the centre, removed flags from each of its kiosks, and formed an honour guard presenting wreaths at the memorial. “The compliments they received were universal,” added Coun. Ryan. Both councillors marvelled at the opening ceremonies, which were launched by a Canadian paratrooper parachuting in with our national flag. It wrapped up with 43,000 poppies being dropped from the sky, marking the number of soldiers Canada lost on the D-Day landing. The centre, an interactive educa- tional facility, is entirely devoted to Canada’s role in the war and its histo- ry before and afterwards, said Coun. Ryan. One portion of the centre is made up like a landing craft. As you walk through it, names of the fallen Cana- dian soldiers are flashed overhead on the ceiling. “It takes over an hour for them to scroll through once,” Coun. Ryan said. Donations are still being accepted for the trip’s $47,000 fund-raising cam- paign. These members of the 2525 Pickering Army Cadets, 244 Harwood Sea Cadets and 856 Pickering Air Cadets had an active role in the recent opening of the Juno Beach Centre, a memorial to Canada’s role in the war.

See page B3 Win puts Timmers in class by himself PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- A Pickering go-kart racer leapfrogged from third place into the points lead after winning Race 5 in the Toronto Kart Club series calendar at Goodwood recently. Driving in the senior lite class, Darryl Timmers, a Grade 12 graduate from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, fin- ished first in his class after coming from behind to grab the lead in the 14-lap race at Goodwood Kart Ways. Af ter a slight accident on Lap 5 in- volving fellow Pickering racer Mike Rogers, it had the net effect of putting Timmers well back of the leader, Zach Snider. Timmers, however, pushed his kart back into contention and successful- ly reeled in Snider with two laps to go. Timmers qualified first for his Heat 1 race but finished second behind Rogers. The points' championship is Timmers' primary goal in his fifth season in kart racing, having finished third in the senior lite class in 2002. The previous year, he was voted the most improved driver in the Toronto Kart Club. In addition to the Toronto Kart Club series, Timmers also races in the Ron Fellows Kart Series, which has races across southern Ontario. He plans to drive in the Ontario Grand National Aug. 1 to 3, and the Canadian Grand Prix at Mo- sport Aug. 13 to 17. Ve teran band rocks for hockey club AAJJAAXX ----A Pickering Hockey Associa- tion team invites one and all to have a rockin' good time at a fund-raiser tomor- row (Thursday). Canadian rock 'n' roll veterans Goddo are on stage at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club in Ajax Thursday night. Fronted by singer and guitarist Greg Godovitz, the band has been a mainstay on the music scene for decades. Opening act, Two for the Show, starts the evening rocking around 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, and can be pur- chased at Annandale prior to the event, and at the door Thursday night. Doors open at 8 p.m. Proceeds from the event go to the PHA minor bantam 'AA' rep hockey team which will represent the association and the City on a trip to Europe this Decem- ber. The 14-year-old players, who have been working since a young age to be a part of this team, will have the opportuni- ty to play hockey against their counter- par ts in Europe and represent Canada in a tournament. The agenda for the trip in- cludes games in the Czech Republic, Aus- tria and Germany. In addition to the concert, funds for the trip are being raised through a vari- ety of activities such as bingos, car washes and community events. The fund- raising effort will continue through the fall. Annandale is at the corner of Church and Bayly streets Miller and Barnes head to Victoria with national dreams PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----Tw o Pickering swim- mers will attempt to secure a spot on the national team at the upcoming champi- onships in Victoria, B.C., beginning Thurs- day. Kurtis Miller, 17, and Warren Barnes, 18, will be among five members of the Scarborough Swim Club to swim at the na- tional championships and Pan-Am Games trials at the Saanich Commonwealth Place in Victoria June 26 to 30. Miller, a Canadian record holder, qual- ified in a variety of distances in the freestyle, butterfly and backstroke events. Meanwhile, Barnes -- currently ranked number two in Canada -- qualified to com- pete in three breaststroke events and the 400-metre individual medley races. The Pan-Am Games are hosted in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in Au- gust. Miller and Barnes are students at Dunbarton High School. Sports Briefs JUNE 25, 2003 Pickering tennis teen tops Toronto tourney Offensive punch helps Rock muzzle Kodiaks Ajax-Pickering upends undefeated ex pansion club, also dumps Arthur BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ----Some new blood has def- initely provided some scoring punch to the Ajax-Pickering Rock senior 'B' lacrosse team's lineup. The new recruits in the form of brothers Nick and Doug Trudeau, acquired last week in a cash deal with the dead-last St. Clair Storm, and Joe Hiltz and Grant Johnson, picked up from the Major Series Pe- terborough Lakers, have figured prominently in boosting the team's fortunes as playoffs loom on the hori- zon. The changes had an immediate impact. Nowhere was the injection of offensive-minded players more evi- dent than in the impressive weekend for the Rock, started Saturday night by handing the unbeaten and first- place Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks an 8-7 loss at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. The Rock followed this up with a 10-9 win on the road in a sluggish effort over the Arthur Aces Sunday night. "It was a great weekend, with Sat- urday night being the highlight," said coach and general manager Paul St. John, referring to the come-from-be- hind victory over the Rock's expan- sion brethren. The victories had the effect of im- proving the Rock's league record to 8-4-0 for 16 points, and all but solidi- fied Ajax-Pickering's hold on fourth place in the Ontario Lacrosse Asso- ciation senior 'B' standings. The Rock now trails third-place Brooklin Merchants by two points with four games to go. Saturday's victory was anything but a sure thing for the Rock, who f loundered for most of the contest. In fact, the home team trailed 7-3 after two periods. It was then, how- ever, that the Rock's new recruits went to work. Hiltz keyed the Rock comeback with consecutive goals to get to 7-5. At that point, Nick Trudeau was called for a five-minute major penal- ty, which could have spelled curtains for the Rock. The inverse happened, however, as killing the penalty seemed to energize the Ajax-Picker- ing side. Following the penalty, the Rock continued to roll, cutting the deficit to one. Nick Trudeau then set up Paul O'Grady with the tying goal and later scored the winner. "The boys dug down deep. It was one of the greatest moments of the summer so far," said St. John. "The players did it all themselves. It was amazing. We played our worst period of the year in the second period, but there was never any quit in our play- ers and that seemed to shock Kitch- ener." Hiltz ended the evening with a four-point effort, scoring a hat trick and adding an assist. Nick Trudeau pitched in with a goal and an assist and Doug Trudeau had an assist. Other goals went to Brandon L aforme, Rob Milnes, and Nick Moeller. Other assists went to Moeller, Brad Cann and Milnes with two apiece, and goaltender Mike Miron, Laforme, Pat Van Hooser, Jeff Farmer and John Derochie. In Sunday's game, the Rock expe- rienced some letdown after the emo- tional win. After building an 8-5 lead, the Rock allowed Arthur to come all the way back to tie the contest 8-8 and later 9-9. Milnes, however, scored the winner. Nick Trudeau was a force against Arthur with a five-point game, in- cluding two goals. Bill McLean and Farmer each added a pair of goals. Hiltz and Cann chipped in with a goal and an assist apiece. O'Grady had the other marker. Other assists went to goaltender Jay Preece and O'Grady each with two, and Doug Trudeau, Van Hooser, Farmer and Chad Martin. The Rock play Friday night with the Ennismore Shamrocks (2-9-0, eighth in standings) visiting the Pickering Recreation Complex at 8 p.m. On Saturday night, the Rock travel to Brantford to meet the Mo- hawk Stars at 7 p.m. PPEEBBBBLLEESS:: SShhaauunn SSuummmmeerrffiieelldd was out of the lineup Sunday after suffering an injury in Saturday's game with KKiittcchheenneerr--WWaatteerrlloooo ...

Kirk aces first tennis test to win Scarborough title PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----A Pickering teen got the summer tennis season off to a solid start by winning the Scarbor- ough Tennis Federation champi- onship last weekend. Maia Kirk, the second seed, de- feated Toronto's Elizabeth Keevil 6- 3, 6-1 to capture the championship in the under-14 girls' singles event. Tournament director Henry Michels presented Kirk a medal and a surf bodyboard on behalf of the Scarborough Tennis Federa- tion. In the first set of the final, Keevil got out to an early 2-0 lead. With former Canadian tennis great Helen Kelesi looking on, Kirk stormed back, winning 12 of the next 14 games to take the match. In the semifinals, Kirk met Veronica Makashov of Richmond Hill, whose excellent serve kept her in the first set. There was only one break in the set but it was enough to give Kirk a 6-4 edge. The second set was all Kirk, as her strategy and power led to a 6-1 win. Makashov is ranked eighth in Ontario in the under-12 age group but is quite at home competing against older girls. Kirk received a bye in the first round. Her second-round oppo- nent, Rina Dubosarski, went down to defeat 6-1, 6-0 in less than an hour. The early rounds of this Ontario Tennis Association-sanctioned event were played at the Tam Heather Tennis Club. The finals were played at the Malvern Centre. Kirk graduates from Grade 8 at Bayview Heights Public School this June. She was recently featured as one of two representatives from the school in the News Advertiser's 'Faces of the Future' special sec- tion. She's coached by John Long of Ajax Winter Tennis. News Advertiser file photo Maia Kirk made her first outing of the tennis season a winning one by capturing the under-14 girls’ singles title at the Scarborough Tennis Federation Championship. Connell, Gordon also winners AAJJAAXX ---- The road to the nation- al championships was paved with gold for three Pickering High School athletes at the Royal Canadian Legion District 'D' (Metro Toronto) Champi- onships at York University Sat- urday. Competition for athletes 15- and-under (midget) and 17-and- under (juvenile) commenced at the district level with the three PHS athletes hauling in seven gold and two bronze medals. In the 15-and-under category Sheldon Connell -- the provin- cial high school midget 100- metre hurdles bronze medallist -- won the 100m hurdles, the long jump and was third in the 100m. In the 17-and-under category, Ryan Finn won the 400m, 800m, and 3,000m events. Ryan Gor- don won the 110m hurdles, the triple jump and was third in the high jump.

Pickering edges Mississauga 10-7 in baseball tourney final PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ----The Pickering Pirates major mosquito select baseball team tamed the Mississauga Nor th Tigers to lay claim to the Canadian Legion Annual Baseball Tournament in Orillia last week- end. The Pirates edged the Tigers 10- 7 in the title game, avenging an earlier round-robin defeat. With the tournament win, Pickering qualifies for the provincial champi- onships on Labour Day weekend. The Pickering bats came alive in the final with Chris Stuart rocking a double and a triple to collect four RBIs. David Mott, Eric Wood, Charlie Graber, Graham Holland, Derek Smith and Ryan Hofmann all delivered clutch hits. Taylor Rivers and Chris Raguseo made solid defensive catches to keep the game close. Karl Reichel and Chris Stuart pitched well over the final four innings. The Pirates began the tourna- ment Saturday morning playing the pre-tournament favourites the Nor th Tigers. Members of the Pickering Pirates major mosquito select baseball team celebrate after capturing the cham- pionship at the Canadian Legion Baseball Tournament in Orillia last weekend. Pirates tame Tigers for title Mississauga scored five runs in the fifth to win 8-5. David Mott led Pickering offensively, going 3-for-3. Jo rdan Bean went 2-for-2 with a walk. Bean also pitched three strong in- nings and, after giving up two runs to the first two batters, retired nine in a row. Pickering defeated Nor th Bay 6-5 in Game 2, scoring a run in the bot- tom of the seventh inning for the victory. Eric Wood lined a sink- ing slider hard enough through the drawn infield to score Bean from third base with the winning run. Stuart and Karl Re- ichel combined to no-hit the North Bay squad over the last four innings, retir- ing 12 of 13 batters. A trip to the final was on the line when the Pi- rates played the Missis- sauga South Twins in Game 3. The game was close until Pickering erupted for seven runs in the third inning en route to a 15-8 victory. Bean pitched three strong innings and Chris Stuart closed for the save. The big inning started with a walk to Derek Smith and was followed by solid singles by Hof- mann and Mott. Raguseo went 2-for-2 and Scott An- derson scored three runs in three trips to the plate. Rob Bean coaches the team, assisted by Steve Stuart and Steve Hof- mann.

Scoreboard JUNE 25, 2003 AAJJAAXX ---- The Ajax United Magic En- ertech/Solid Gold Jewelry girls' under-10 rep soccer team worked a little wizardry on the field to capture the recent Peterborough City Soccer Tournament. The Magic was pitted against host Peterborough in a hotly contested championship game, scoring a deci- sive 2-0 victory. Both Magic goals were the result of skilful play and ball control. Cassan- dra Wilshire opened the scoring on a play started by Erin Lee who crossed the ball from the left side. Emily Hut- ton added an insurance goal, using her speed and ball control after she was put in the clear by team captain Chelsea Santos. In Game 1, Ajax defeated Oshawa Kicks 4-1. Santos led the way with a pair of goals, and Julianne Linde- blom and Wiltshire added one apiece. In the second game of round-robin play, the Magic edged Whitby 1-0. Lee scored on a well-placed penalty kick. Ajax played to a scoreless draw with Peterborough in the final round- robin contest. Mag ic goalkeeper Victoria For- musa was voted most valuable play- er. Rachelle Boutros, Sydney Melvin, Dana Murphy, Sydney O'Neill, Alana Raymond, Jessica Sauer, Sarah Smith, Kendra Wait, and Meghan Williams also represented the Magic. Ajax is Magic on the soccer pitch FAX GAME RESULTS TO NEWS ADVERTISER 905-683-7363 Newsroom 905-683-0386 Sewell talks rebels at foundation's annual meeting TTiimm MMuunnrroo Special to the News Advertiser DDUURRHHAAMM ----The banner William Lyon Mackenzie and his fellow rebels carried during their short but historic march on Toronto in 1837 reads, 'Bidwell and the Glorious Manority. 1837 a Good Beginning.' Maybe you had to be there. A replica of the banner, crafted using traditional methods and ma- terials, was presented to the Picker- ing Museum Village Foundation at its fifth annual general meeting, held last Thursday at the Petticoat Creek branch of the Pickering Pub- lic Library. The original banner was appropriated shortly after the rebel- lion by then-lieutenant governor Sir Francis Bond-Head and transport- ed to England. It has since been re- turned to Canada, and now rests in the Archives of Ontario. The banner presentation was fol- lowed by a short speech by John Sewell, the former mayor of Toronto and newspaper columnist. Sewell's speech was based on research done for his new book, 'Mackenzie: A Po- litical Biography'. "He believed that ordinary people were every bit as intelligent as the elites," said Mr. Sewell. "That was a radical idea at the time." One of Mackenzie's chief assis- tants during the rebellion was Peter Matthews, a resident of the hamlet of Brougham in northern Pickering. Matthews has the unfortunate dis- tinction of being one of only two rebel leaders executed for treason after the rebellion. "He was considered to be a real rebel, and they had to get rid of him," related Mr. Sewell. Pat Dunhill, chairman of the foun- dation, invited Mr. Sewell to speak at the meeting after seeing a tele- vised interview in which he was pro- moting the book. "The museum focuses a lot of at- tention on the 1837 Rebellion," said Mr. Dunnill. "Pickering played a big part in the Rebellion." M r . Mackenzie came to Canada from Scotland in 1820, and settled in what is now the Greater Toronto Area. He began printing a reformist newspa- per, the Colonial Advocate, before pursuing a career in provincial poli- tics. He was kicked out of the legisla- ture several times by the lieutenant governor, only to be re-elected each time. When the town of York became the City of Toronto in the early 19th century, Mackenzie served briefly as the first mayor of Toronto, a posi- tion his biographer would hold more than 100 years later. After the failure of the 1837 rebellion, Mr. Mackenzie f led to the United States, where he lived in exile for 12 years. He re- turned to Canada and took public office again, but radical changes in the colony's political structure left him voiceless and irrelevant. Mackenzie's greatest contribution to Canadian politics, according to Mr. Sewell, was his passionate advo- cacy of responsible governments that listened to and acted on the concerns of citizens. While the val- ues of openness and accountability may have since lost their popularity at the federal and provincial levels, Mr. Sewell noted, "If we look at our municipal politicians, we'll find many of them operate on Macken- zie's model." Even in 2003, it's still a good be- ginning. A/P PAGE B4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 25, 2003 www.durhamregion.com NE065A103 ©2003.

Durham motorists are finding out what their com- mercial vehicle counterparts already know. Insurance rates are going up. “My insurance rates have increased a lot,” says Mosnaf Naeam of Safe Drivers Cana- da Ltd., in Oshawa. “Last year it cost me $1,800 and this year it was $3,800. That’s for one car.” Each instructor at his company has experienced the same type of increase, he says. Driving schools are getting hit with 100-per cent increas- es on average, says John Svensson, president of the Driving School Association of Ontario, who adds students can expect to pick up some of that expense in their course fee. At Noble Transport in Uxbridge, the last two years have brought big insurance rate increases that have just added to the industry’s woes of higher gas prices and a stronger Canadian dollar. Noble, a general freight oper- ator with 18 trucks, has seen a $40,000 increase since 2000 and Rob Leek, company president says, based on what he’s heard from other operators, he expects that cost will rise again when his renewal comes up in Septem- ber. “It’s almost doubled since 2001. It’s gone from 2.3 per cent of our total operating cost to 4.3 per cent of our cost. We can’t pass the cost on because the trucking in- dustry is too competitive,” says Mr. Leek. Transport companies, on average, have experienced in- creases of 32 per cent since 2000 while “increases of over 300 per cent have not been uncommon,” says Ontario Trucking Association spokesman Rebecka Torn. Meanwhile, as the rest of us get our insurance re- newals, we can expect in- creases too. On average mo- torists can expect a 20-per cent increase, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, which last week re- leased statistics showing from March 2002 to March 2003 rates increased by 20.1 per cent in Ontario. That is in addition to a national aver- age increase of 15 per cent in 2002 and a nine-per cent in- crease across Canada in 2001. In addition to higher rates, some drivers, particularly those who are considered high risk or who default on Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Rob Leer is dealing with an increase of $40,000 on his company’s in- surance rates over the last two years. The story is the same across the region as more and more people are being hit by higher rates.

Hospital gets the right medicine Smog settles over Pickering Let there be lights Pickering moves ahead at park despite funding concerns BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––A new park opening later this year along Frenchman’s Bay will be in lights after all. Pickering council decided Monday night to spend $65,000 this year to light Progress Frenchman’s Bay East Park. Raising concerns for safety, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland called the lights “one of the critical items” at the new park. “If makes sense to proceed and do it all at the same time.” Local councillors allocated $720,128 in the 2003 budget for the park, which is slated for the east side of Frenchman’s Bay, stretching roughly be- tween Annland and Com- merce streets. However, original tenders ranged from $994,791 to $1.1 million causing City staff to suggest a number of items be removed from the bid. As a re- Advisory in effect for Durham until further notice BByy JJeennnniiffeerr SSttoonnee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM –––– The region re- mains under its first smog advisory of the year today as hot temperatures and south- west winds were expected to continue to cause bad air through much of the province. “The advisory is in effect until further notice,” con- firms Environment Ministry spokesman Mark Rabbior. The advisory was first is- sued Sunday to start Mon- day, and its continuation isn’t a surprise, he says. “We had expected it would last a couple of days, with the hot temperatures we have and the winds coming up from the southwest, which is bringing in air pollu- tion from the U.S.,” notes Mr. Rabbior. Mo re than 50 per cent of this area’s air pollution comes from sources in the United States, says Mr. Rab- bior. Smog advisories are is- sued by the Environment Ministry when air quality and weather conditions are likely to produce elevated smog levels. Under a Smog Clement delivers $17.1 million in funding for Ajax expansion BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer AAJJAAXX —— The dream of a new emergency department at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital took a big leap toward becoming a re- ality this week. Standing on the west lawn and future site of the new wing, Ontario Minister of Health Tony Clement signed over a $17.1-million cheque to hospital officials yesterday morning. The funds will go toward improving access to emer- gency and diagnostic ser- vices, as well as expand the hospital’s ambulatory care unit, complex continuing care beds and mental health services. “You have been loud and clear in the way you have ex- pressed a desire for bigger and better facilities,” the minister told the group. “It’s a great day for this community and I’m glad to bring this good news to your ears. You are one step closer to having a wonderful state- of-the-art hospital.” Expanding Ajax’s emer- gency department has been Rouge Valley Health’s “high- est priority” since the hospi- tal corporation was formed in 1998, said president and chief executive officer Hume ✦See Air page A5 ✦See Councillor page A2 ✦See Whole page A4 ✦See Rouge page A4 Career Training500 CLASS A, D, AND Z Endorse- ment training at Durham Col- lege Whitby.

Threshold, his exhibit of more than 20 watercolour paintings of the preg- nant form, opened for the summer on Thursday at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, after a two-year gestation period. "It's an interesting exhibit," the Ajax artist said, while taking a short break from hanging the works in Os- hawa Wednesday morning. "It's basi- cally been two years of preparation." Inspired by watching his wife go through two pregnancies with their daughters in the late 1980s, Clarke came up with the idea of an exhibit focusing of women on the threshold of a major change. He pitched it a couple of years ago to McLaughlin Gallery curator Linda Jansma who liked idea. Then came two years of finding models and painting their im- ages. Clarke started out by handing his business cards to pregnant women he saw in the community. "Nothing had come of it," he said. He then changed tactics and asked his friends to talk to any pregnant women they knew about his project and have them contact him if they were interested. The result was a se- ries of interested women who called him. "Almost all of these women are strangers to me," he pointed out. "They felt it was an interesting pro- ject." The full-time artist was delighted to see the exhibit go up Wednesday. "I never really looked at the whole group," he said. "Today will be the first I've seen the whole collection to- gether. It is pretty exciting to see the results." In her catalogue of the exhibit, Jansma noted Clarke has focused on the moment as they face the thresh- old. She wrote his ultimate desire is "to capture the 'physical, emotional and psychological aspects of preg- nancy'" as an outsider. Jansma also wrote of his understanding of the women as individuals which makes the series "rise to a level of heroism." His treatment of the human figure comes from a classical position. As a child, he read through his father's art books in their Jamaica family home. When he was six or seven, he hoped to be able to draw as well as the Mas- ters and was moved by images of the human form. He immigrated to Canada in 1974. He attended the Ontario College of Art and Design in the early 80s, fin- ishing with a year at the college's off- campus program in Florence, Italy. Inspiration came from Michelangelo, da Vinci and Caravaggio. He spent six months touring European art col- lections. While in Italy, watercolour became his favoured medium, a change from oils. He not only creates watercolours but also collects them, amassing more than 150 Victorian Canadian watercolours. Clarke also credits more contem- porary artists, such as John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Lucien Freud and Frederick Varley, for inspi- ration. Clarke just finished a two-year term as president of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolours and is founder and president of the Society of African Canadian Artists.
