She enjoys shopping, loves to dance and listen to top mod- ern artists such as LL Cool Jay, Ashantie and Nelly. But, behind the happy, teenaged exterior lies a night- mare of human suffering. Ms. Kamara is an innocent victim of the decade-long war in the West African country of Sier- ra Leone. Two concerts will be staged in Durham in the coming weeks, by Multicultural Durham, to assist with her medical ex- penses and to improve her qual- ity of life. In 1999, at age 13, Ms. Kamara was brutalized by Revolutionary United Guard soldiers, who since 1991 have been waging a campaign of terror against Sier- ra Leone’s civilian population in their efforts to overthrow the ex- isting government. In 1999, she was held hostage for more than 10 hours. She was beaten and raped. Then, the rebel soldiers brought out a ma- chete. “They didn’t tell me why they chopped off my hands,” she says. “They just said, ‘You go to Presi- dent (Ahmad Tejan) Kabbah and ask him to give you new hands.’ I replied, ‘You have just done this to me - why? I do not even know who this man is.’” After her ordeal, Ms. Kamara, wandered in the bush in shock for two days until villagers found her and took her to a hospital in Freetown. After a month, she was moved to a refugee camp, where she gave birth to her son Abdul, who was conceived as a Innocent victim of warfare Mariatu Kamara,left, with her guardian Kadijatu Nabe, suffered horrible crimes while she was living in war-torn Sierra Leone. Fund-raisers are being held to help Mariatu pay for prosthetic limbs. Her hands were hacked off by soldiers when she was 13. ✦See A page 9 Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo Want more than just a job? Searching for options? Are you looking in the right place?

Constantly worried about his health and his own state of mind, he found himself wanting to avoid situations that made him feel anxious such as being alone, going to work and socializing. In time Mike realized he was not alone in his suffering. Anxiety disorder is the number one emotional problem in our country today. Mike will share the story of his recovery and provide coping skills at a FREE seminar open to the public in your area. Symptoms of anxiety, panic and depression include heart palpitations, chest pains, dizziness, stomach problems, bewildered & spaced out feelings, confusion, shortness of breath, scary thoughts, trembling or shaking, nervous or panicky feelings, feeling helpless and hopeless, loss of appetite, excessively tired, and easily prone to guilt. Generally people fear what Mike calls, “losing control”, having a heart attack, embarrassing themselves, or losing their minds. The Midwest Center For Stress and Anxiety, with whom Mike works, has done stress and anxiety seminars for companies such as Chrysler, AT & T, and McDonald’s. They have also been featured on OPRAH, REGIS and KATHY LEE and ‘THE VIEW’ with BARBARA WALTERS. If you cannot attend, please call 1-800-318-7766 for information.

DURHAM — The last two feder- al elections show in the Oshawa and Durham ridings that combining the right wing votes would have allowed the Alliance/Reform and Conserva- tives to narrowly defeat the Liberal candidate. In the Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge and Whitby-Ajax ridings, it would have made for closer races.

Ms. Densham, the vice- president of the Whitby- Ajax CA riding association, is thrilled with Thursday’s announcement that the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative party will merge into the new Conservative Party of Canada. “It’s going to be good to have the family back to- gether again,” she said Fri- day. She believes the new party will be able to fare better in future elections since the vote won’t be split. She said in the last election there were 30 rid- ings in Ontario where if the Alliance and Tory votes were added together it would have been enough to defeat the Liberal winner. In the November 2000 election in Oshawa and Durham ridings the com- bined Conservative and Al- liance vote would have been enough to overtake the Liberals, who won 97 out of 102 seats in Ontario. The combined numbers would have made it a much closer race in Whitby-Ajax and Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge. Gerry Skipwith ran under the Canadian Al- liance banner in Durham in 2000. He thought Thurs- day’s announcement was great for the two parties, Canada and democracy in general. “Finally it’s going to give people a choice,” he said. He said he is still consid- ering whether he would seek the Durham nomina- tion for the new party. The next step for Al- liance leader Stephen Harper and Conservative leader Peter MacKay is to convince their members to vote for the merger. Each party’s member- ship has until Dec. 12 to vote to ratify the deal. Two- thirds of PC members need to vote in favour while the Alliance membership can approve the merger by a simple majority vote. Both Ms. Densham and Mr. Skipwith said the Al- liance members they know are in favour of the union. “Everybody feels the same way. We’ve had three elections now where noth- ing has been gained by being separate...We have to work together if we want to accomplish anything,” he said. “I talk to a lot of people, Canadian Alliance sup- porters, I don’t know one that will not support it,” Ms. Densham said. If the deal is ratified the next step will be finding a leader. Candidates will have until Feb. 29 to sell memberships and leader- ship selection will take place March 19 to 21. That won’t give the party much time to prepare for an expected spring election call. “I think we can be ready (for a spring election),” Ms. Densham said. “I know we can be ready if we put our two camps and our volun- teers together we’ll be working from a larger base.” She believes the new party will garner votes not only from traditional sup- porter of the two parties but also Liberal support- ers. “Some people currently supporting the Liberals will come back to a united right after years of Liberal scandals,” she said. “I feel very strongly that it would make for an inter- esting election,” Mr. Skip- with said. By press time no calls made to local Progressive Conservative members had been returned. United they stand Tories and Alliance see the light Unite the right should have been done years ago It's a good six years late in the making, but it seems federal Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Alliance mem- bers may have finally seen the light. After trying on several different leaders apiece, and even going for a party name change - Reform to Canadian Alliance - what seemed obvious to any man or woman in the street has struck home. Unless they join forces and form a united party the CA and PCs were going to sit in opposition forever as the Liberals ruled Canada. Now, maybe, just maybe, a single united party could actually challenge and defeat the Grits. Of course, a tentative deal between Tory leader Peter MacK- ay and his Canadian Alliance counterpart, Steven Harper, is just that, tentative. It will require a vote by the 130,000 or so grassroots members of both parties, affirming a single party. Then, of course, there will be a leadership convention, set for March. It's hoped all the necessary manoeuvres are complete before Liberal leader Paul Martin can call a federal election, ex- pected sometime next year. The right should have united immediately after the 1997 elec- tion, when it was clear all the efforts of the then Reform Party and Progessive Conservatives would not be enough to beat the Liberals. But both parties clung to non-existent hopes of a huge surge in popularity and wasted the 2000 election as the Liberals increased their majority. The huge egos of people like Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, Jean Charest and Joe Clark got in the way and made a deal impossible - until now. Canadi- ans were left with no real choice in opposition to the Liberals. Finally, Mr. MacKay and Mr. Harper have realized nothing would ever change unless they were prepared to make a change happen. Mr. MacKay, who has been criticized for some of the moves he made on the way to becoming Tory leader, de- serves kudos for realizing the only sensible future course is unity. And Mr. Harper, who has received lukewarm reviews over the last few years, is at least far-sighted enough to know the vote-splitting ways of the Tories and Alliance lead only to the opposition benches. It's not yet a done deal and will require a selling job to the rank-and-file in both parties, but at least it's a start. We can only hope the next federal election offers voters across the country a fair and real choice at the ballot box. It's what democracy and freedom sorely need. I’ll take Arnold any day over Jean TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'Politics less than inspiring; if you don’t laugh you just might cry,' column by Neil Crone of Wednesday, Oct. 15. I do not reside in the state of Califor- nia, or in the USA for that matter. How- ever, I am a close follower of world poli- tics, and I must say, I am not thrilled with the manner in which newly elected Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been received. How can so many people judge him when he has not even had a chance to shine? I, for one, wish there were more politi- cians like Arnold. It seems to me too many of us are impressed by iron- pressed suits, fancy schooling, and f lamboyant vocabulary. Mike Harris was one of those politicians, and we can thank him for the new curriculum, which hurt several students in the long run. Jean Chretien is another suit who comes to mind. What has he done? Nothing worth mentioning. Arnold is a man of conviction. He gave up a simple life of fame and money for the grudges of the political world, and to me, that says something about his character. He was willing to give all of that up in order to do his part in making his home a better place to live. When I look at other politicians, I do not see sacrifice. I see empty promises. The least we can do is give Arnold a chance before we judge him so harshly.

A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 19, 2003 www.durhamregion.com I used to think shoes said a lot about a person. But now, I think I'm hooked on election signs and interpreting their hidden meanings. This week, it was my only source of entertainment on a slow drive along Hwy. 2 to escape a major traf- fic nightmare on the 401. Here are my picks for the best and worst candidates have to offer across Durham's five southern municipal- ities: Best Attention Grabber: Joanne Dies, candidate for Ward 3 in Ajax gets the nod for snapping me out of a morning funk. It's difficult not to notice signs with DIES in big, bold letters emblazoned across the front, even on busy Harwood Av- enue. A close second is Jim Vinson, running for "counsillor" in Claring- ton's Ward 1. The misspelling of councillor stood out like a sore thumb on his signs, unfortunately. Even it was his printer's error, I think I'd be doing everything in my power to transform that 's' into a 'c'. It could be worse, Jim. You could be running for school board. Pushing the Boundaries of Polit- ical Good Taste: Doug Dickerson in Pickering proves leaving out a sim- ple word like 'for' can be all so im- portant. His carefully worded signs urge voters to "Elect Mayor Doug Dickerson", which could be a little misleading to people who might not know the former regional coun- cillor has never served as mayor. This harkens to Howard Hall, a former long-serving mayor of Scu- gog. He lost his seat in 1997 to Doug Moffatt, only to run against him again in 2000. Instead of investing in new signs, Mr. Hall dusted off his old placards, which just happened to have the words "re-elect" on them, stretching the truth, just a little. Best Design: The ladder- style signs now popping up in Pick- ering are easy to read, eye-catching and perfect on public property. Local MPP-elect Wayne Arthurs first used them this fall and now his friend and campaign manager Dave Ryan is putting them up for his own bid for mayor. But in all seriousness, there's more to a candidate than just the sign they put up on your lawn. Sometimes a green sign means nothing more than a green sign. Residents wanting to get the real deal should be seeking out all-can- didates debates and forums. It does make for some fun before election night, though.

TO ADVERTISE IN HEALTH & WELLNESS CALL MARILYN BROPHY AT 905-683-5110 When it comes to diet and cancer risk there may be some truth to the phrase “you are what you eat.” Research suggests that as many as 30 per cent of all cancers may be related to what we eat and drink. Diet has been linked to cancers of the breast, as well as cancers of the colon, stomach, mouth, liver, pancreas and prostate. The Canadian Cancer Society funds research examining the diet-breast cancer connection to find more answers about this important link. Two noteworthy studies, partly funded by the Canadian Cancer Society, are looking at how what we eat impacts breast health. At Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital, Dr. Norman Boyd, in collaboration with Dr. Greg Hislop in Va ncouver and other investigators in Windsor, London and Hamilton, is conducting a clinical trial with 4,600 women to see if eating less fat can reduce breast cancer risk. In this long-term study, the women have been randomly assigned to receive either general nutritional counselling or intensive dietary counselling aimed at reducing fat intake. The team will correlate, over time, the amount of fat the women have eaten with the development of breast cancer. This research could point to ways to prevent breast cancer. At Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Dr. Pamela Goodwin is following 535 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer to see how diet affects survival and cancer recur rence. She has discovered that both overweight and underweight women have an increased risk of breast cancer recurrence and death. In addition, high levels of insulin (which controls sugar levels in the blood) predict a higher occurrence of cancer recurrence and death. Building on this, Dr. Goodwin plans to further examine the effects of obesity and high insulin levels on breast cancer outcomes. This research will improve our understanding of risk factors for breast cancer and may lead to new treatment approaches. Since 1993, the Society has contributed close to $60 million to support a broad range of research related directly and indirectly to breast cancer.

Research suggests that as many as 30 per cent of all cancers may be related to what we eat and drink.

More and more women are using phytoestrogens, such as isoflavones found in soy plant, to tailor their menopausal therapy in a natural way. Equifem-Balance’s main potential benefits reside in its soy isoflavones content and include fewer menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, night sweats, etc.), a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Equifem-Mood is a unique remedy for improving general well-being and mood. Equifem-Mood is especially designed to ease symptoms of menopause or PMS such as mood-based symptoms like nervousness and irritability. Moreover, its powerful and soothing ingredients also help to diminish the physiological discomforts of menopause such as hot flushes and night sweats. Equifem-Mood may also be used by women who are intolerant to soy and wish to choose a natural alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Moreover, Equifem-Mood is ideal for women who wish to further address mood swings that may not be completely controlled with a natural selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).

Early treatment may help to: •guide proper growth of the jaw •widen a narrow jaw so new adult teeth have room to grow •reduce the need to remove teeth when braces are put in •reduce or eliminate the need for jaw surgery •prevent the risk of damage to teeth that are sticking out •correct harmful thumb sucking or mouth breathing habits •improve appearance and help your children feel better about themselves •simplify treatment and shorten the length of time braces need to be worn •reduce the chance of teeth shifting after braces are removed •make space for adult teeth to grow and not get trapped in the bone •improve speech development •help the mouth close properly •prevent or reduce jaw problems from developing •obtain better cooperation during treatment before the ‘teenage’ years. Dr. Christopher Torn is a certified specialist in orthodontics and maintains a private practice in the Pickering Town Centre, Lower Level. For more information please call 905-839-1268. Remember, all kids should have an orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7. I am currently pregnant with my first child. I have noticed that along with my other bodily changes, my feet and legs are also affected. What other changes might I expect and how can I keep myself more comfortable? As you begin to gain weight due to pregnancy the added stresses placed on the foot are most noticeable as you approach your delivery date. An important hormone you are producing during the pregnancy is relaxin. This enables your ligaments to be more lax so that they can expand, not just around the stomach and pelvic area for the fetus, but also in the foot. The foot will lengthen and widen during the pregnancy allowing for a greater surface area to carry the additional weight. After delivering, in most cases, the foot will revert back to normal, although some of my patients complain that their foot has remained at least half to a full size larger. The best bit of advice I can give you is to wear good supportive shoes. These will support the arch, shock absorb during the latter months and accommodate the swollen foot by loosening the laces. If you were used to wearing higher heeled shoes before the pregnancy and now you are wearing flats, you may notice some calf muscle strain, either at its insertion behind the knee or at the achilles tendon. Pressure of the fetus in the pelvic area where the veins lead back to the heart, may cause a back up of blood in these veins. This can lead to varicose veins and swelling of the foot and legs. It is most important to keep your legs elevated. Also a good pair of properly f itted, but not too tight, support hose will control the swelling. If you were a pronator before your pregnancy, the increased laxity and flatter arch will lead to hyperpronation. I cannot over emphasize the importance of a good supportive shoe. The increased incidence of planter war ts with pregnancy, especially in the f irst three months is noted as well as an increase in foot perspiration and corresponding odour. I always try to encourage my patients to avoid foot problems before they manifest themselves, however, having sore feet is a small price to pay for the wondrous miracle of having a child. Especially when most of the foot and leg problems will revert back to normal within the month or two after delivery.

She remained in the refugee camp until September 2002, when benefactors in Ontario and the United Kingdom paid for her to come to Canada. Pickering resident Abou Nabe and his wife Kadijatu currently care for Ms. Kamara. While she tries to move for- ward from this horrible violation of human rights, there is no jus- tice. She knows her attackers will never be found or made ac- countable for their crimes against humanity. It has been reported that over 20,000 civilians, half of them chil- dren, have had their limbs hacked off in Sierra Leone. This figure is just a fraction of the children injured and killed in recent conflicts around the world. The percentage of child casualties has been spiralling upwards since the turn of the 20th century, while the number of soldiers dying has been steadily dropping. It has been estimated that today 90 per cent of war fatalities are civilian; of those, about half are children. Although a peace treaty to end the war in Sierra Leone was signed in June 1999, fighting continued for another two years. In response to global conflicts and war crimes against the chil- dren of the world, the United Nations (UN) over the years has enacted human rights resolu- tions designed to specifically protect children, including the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. While the intent of these mea- sures is honourable they have proven toothless due to lack of enforcement. Ms. Kamara has now been in Canada one year and is current- ly taking English as a second language through the Durham Board of Education. “Her story personifies the strength of the human spirit over great cruelty, suffering and trauma,” says Kadijatu Nabe, her guardian in Canada. “She is a loving young girl, who cares very much for her mother and seven brothers and sisters she left behind. “Mariatu is enthusiastic about getting an education, and that she has learned to cope with her disability,” says Ms. Nabe. “All she aims for is to learn to read and write so she can write a let- ter to her family back home.” The Sierra Leone Immigrant Settlement Centre, formed in 2000 by the Nabe family and members of the Sierra Leone community in Canada, have been helping Ms. Kamara over the last year. Multicultural Durham, through its Peace and Commu- nity Harmony public education program, are organizing two multicultural fund-raising bene- fit concerts. Revenue raised from the con- certs, along with contributions from the community earmarked to her trust fund, established with the Royal Bank, will be used toward the cost of fitting Ms. Kamara with prosthetic hands. The first concert is at the Pickering Town Centre on Sat- urday, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The second concert will be held at the Caribbean Cultural Centre, 600 Wentworth St. E., Oshawa, on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 3 to 5 p.m. Businesses, organizations and members of the public interest- ed in making a donation to this fund-raising effort can do so by visiting any branch of the Royal Bank in Durham. Organizers have set up a bank account under the name of the Sierra Leone Immigrant Settle- ment Centre In Trust for Mariatu Kamara. The bank account number is 1018001 Transit # 3832. If a re- ceipt is required for income tax purposes, call Roland Rutland at Multicultural Durham before making a donation. In addition to the two con- certs, Multicultural Durham will be working with different schools throughout Durham to promote human rights educa- tion initiatives for a three- month period beginning in Oc- tober.

As Pickering’s only acclaimed candi- date, Mr. Holland has been spared the uncertainty of election night and returns for another three years as regional councillor in Ward 2. It hasn’t stopped him from knocking on doors, though, something that would just seem unnatural with election fever in the air, says the 29-year-old. “Obviously, if I was in full election mode, I’d be out there more,” he adds. “But I’ve tried to knock on a few doors. I’ve been getting questions from people asking why I don’t have any signs out there. Acclamations can be confusing to the public.” This is actually his second acclama- tion. Mr. Holland, who was elected to Wa rd 2 city councillor in 1997, was ac- claimed for the Ward 3 regional seat in 2000, when incumbent Doug Dickerson withdrew from the race at the last minute. “That was a little different because I campaigned hard for six months before,” he recalls. “I had all my signs and all my literature out there.” Mr. Holland says he was interested in returning to council because he feels there is still “a tremendous amount of work to be done. “I’m very excited about continuing the waterfront. It’s something I’ve really pushed for over the last six years and it’s coming together well,” he says. “But the biggest issue is the future development of Pickering, and it’s of par- ticular concern to me,” Mr. Holland adds. “We’re going to have very difficult deci- sions to make. We don’t want a collection of subdivisions. We want holistic develop- ment.” His other priorities include holding the Liberal government to its promises to reform the Ontario Municipal Board, working towards a pedestrian-friendly downtown, helping the Region implement its strategic plan and continuing to push for an integrated waste management system. He currently chairs the waterfront co-ordinating committee, Pickering Win- terfest, and the Youth Partnership Initia- tive; and sits on Durham Region finance and administration committee, Durham Region’s strategic planning steering com- mittee, Greater Toronto Task Force on Ontario Municipal Board reform, the Business Advisory Centre of Durham, Durham West Arts Centre, Pickering Public Library Board, Rouge Park Al- liance, Social Development Council of Ajax-Pickering, and the audit committee. Born and raised in Pickering, Mr. Holland lives in Bay Ridges with his wife Aerlyn and their three children.

Grades 6 to 12. OPEN HOUS E Thursday, O c t o b e r 2 3 , 7 : 0 0 – 9 : 0 0 p m Elephants normally win when fighting a mouse. But for once the mouse has won. A Canadian company has beaten the United States and achieved an historic first. Dimethaid Research has de- veloped a non-oral NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammato- ry drug) to treat osteoarthritis. And since it’s locally applied, it dramatically reduces the risk of stomach complications associ- ated with oral NSAIDs. It’s estimated that three mil- lion Canadians suffer from os- teoarthritis. It’s the wear-and- tear type of arthritis which pre- sents a challenge for patients day after day. Some people have had to give up a favourite sport, gardening or taking their daily walk. Others find it increasingly difficult to navigate the stairs or carry out household chores. Today, with an aging popula- tion, there’s a huge need for this safe and effective remedy. Dr. Peter Tugwell, Professor of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, recently presented his findings on Pennsaid to the Eu- ropean Congress of Rheumatol- ogy in Lisbon, Portugal. The study was conducted on 622 Canadian patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. The purpose was to compare Penn- said with the maximum daily dose of oral diclofenac, a nons- teroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Researchers found Pennsaid was as effective as the oral dose of NSAID in relieving pain and the physical impairment of arthritis. And since it’s applied locally, there is much less likeli- hood of the complications asso- ciated with oral NSAIDs. Why is Pennsaid such an his- toric event? For years the stan- dard treatment of arthritis has been the use of oral NSAIDs. They have helped millions of pa- tients in North America. But treating arthritis with them has always been a risky affair. Every year 1,900 Canadians die from the complications of these drugs. It’s a worldwide problem. A study in the United Kingdom used an optical instrument to examine the stomachs of pa- tients using the older NSAIDs. The results were shocking. Doc- tors reported that after two months of use, one in five pa- tients had a stomach ulcer with- out symptoms, one in 70 a painful ulcer, one in 150 a bleed- ing ulcer and one in 1200 died from a gastric hemorrhage. In a Danish study, re- searchers tracked 207,000 peo- ple for 19 years who had been on NSAIDs to determine the ex- tent of intestinal bleeding. It showed that NSAIDs increased the risk of bleeding five times. For those over 75 years of age the risk was 27 times greater. And in the U.S., 107,000 people are hospitalized every year due to the intestinal side effects of NSAIDs and 16,500 die. It’s a huge price to pay for pain relief. But in addition to life-threat- ening complications, many pa- tients using oral NSAIDs com- plain of abdominal pain, dys- pepsia, nausea, diarrhea and there may be abnormalities in liver function tests. This happens because the early NSAIDs destroyed an en- zyme called COX-1 which nor- mally protects the stomach’s lining from inflammation. So researchers did the obvi- ous thing. They designed new NSAIDs such as Celebrex, Mo- bicox and Vioxx to preserve COX -1 and protect the stom- ach. Studies show these NSAIDs are an improvement, but they have not eliminated se- rious complications. There is another aspect of NSAID medication that is rarely explained to patients suf- fering from arthritis. I frequent- ly see patients swallowing NSAIDs as if they were candies. They have never been informed that NSAIDs are powerful drugs that can have adverse ef- fects on kidneys, particularly aging ones. The availability of a stomach- friendly NSAID fills a big void in therapy. Initially, Pennsaid so- lution is applied onto the knee four times daily. Later as the pain subsides fewer daily appli- cations may be required. The most common side effect in- volves a minor skin reaction at the site of application. Pennsaid will undoubtedly save lives and be a godsend for those suffering from arthritis. But it will also help to save mil- lions of dollars spent treating the complications of oral NSAID medication. Doctors and patients have waited a long time for a locally applied NSAID. So if you’re suf- fering from osteoarthritis, ask your doctor about Pennsaid. It could be a major step in return- ing to a more comfortable life. And let me know if you are helped by Pennsaid.

It was summery weather following frost, hot, sunny days with no wind, that brought out such intense crimsons and scarlets, oranges and golds, in the Ridges. Farther north, from Haliburton to Algo- nquin, where killing frosts hit ear- lier, autumn hues were much more muted, featuring pinks, peaches and purples. Unable to stay indoors with such awesome beauty every- where we looked, my husband and I finally did something we’d been meaning to do all summer: tied the canoe on the car and went paddling. Two mini day trips - one floating down a river, one threading through a string of lakes - went a long way toward making up for us not taking a “real” canoe trip this summer. I thought we’d have the river to ourselves, but to my surprise a dozen ‘Ancient Mariners’ - a se- niors canoeing club from Cam- bridge, Ont. - were just putting in at our chosen drop-off spot. They were long gone, leaving no trace, by the time we’d done our car transfer and bicycled back, but we had the fun of catching up with them at a ‘lift-over’ rock ledge far downstream. Kingfishers patrolled sections of stream, as some do until freeze-up. It’s always male king- fishers that linger, likely hoping to be on hand to grab the best nesting territories come spring. We f lushed great blue herons hunting for frogs and minnows, and two hooded mergansers, tree-nesters that hang out in re- mote woodland lakes and ponds. Wood ducks, another forest species, take off from the water with a telltale squawk; we flushed one of them as well, to our de- light. Flocks of chickadees, brown creepers and golden-crowned kinglets were feeding in trees and tangles along the shores. Dennis, with his well-trained ears, heard ruby-crowned kinglets, plus pip- its passing overhead: two species I frequently miss. The next day, paddling silently across a satiny lake, we came close to a family of loons, two not-quite-grown grey- and-white babies closely guarded by Mom-or was it Dad? Dragonflies and giant water- bugs, long-tailed mayflies; muskrats and mink, whirligig beetles cutting V-shaped ripples in glassy waters, and golden leaves fluttering, falling, float- ing... We stored up many pre- cious, sun-filled moments to carry us through the dark months ahead. Nature queries or comments? mcarney@interlinks.net or (905) 725-2116.

See page 19 Bill Hutton marks four decades in Canada’s national game BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor AAJJAAXX ——After four decades of continuous involvement in lacrosse, an Ajax man will be hon- oured for his dedication at the grassroots, provincial and nation- al levels next month. William (Bill) Hutton will be in- ducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Association Hall of Fame as one of the true builders and guardians of the sport at the Canadian Lacrosse Association's awards dinner at the Firefighters' Banquet Hall in Burnaby, B.C. Nov. 1. "It's an honour for me," says Hutton in an interview at his south Ajax home. "It's a tribute to the boards I've worked with over the years." His resume is impressive not only for his length of service, but in his depth of commitment to lacrosse, especially in his exten- sive work to keep it viable and ac- cessible to all youths across Cana- da, and not solely to the sport's elite players. Hutton served as the president of the Ontario Minor Lacrosse Association (OMLA) from 1983 to 1985 and was the past president in 1985-86. He steered the nation- al body of lacrosse through turbu- lent times as the chairman of the transition team in 1986-87 when the Canadian Lacrosse Associa- tion (CLA) was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was instrumen- tal in setting the national organi- zation on a path of stability it en- joys today. The 61-year-old has served as the CLA's chairman of the board from 1987 to 1999 and has contin- ued his involvement as past-pres- ident and the current chairman of the Canadian Lacrosse Founda- tion, which raises funds and re- cruits corporate sponsors. Even though he ascended to lofty heights as an administrator in the sport, Hutton never lost sight of keeping the game open and fun for those at the grass- roots level. He hopes his legacy will be his commitment to making the game widely available to everyone, regardless of their level of performance. "Recreational level of participa- tion is essential to the growth of the sport," he says. "Total focus on competitive lacrosse is wrong; there has to be a balance. Not everyone wants to compete at the same level." Ironically, Hutton never played lacrosse as a youth. "My father wouldn't let me play." But, with his son Jim's decision to sign up for the now-defunct Ajax Lacrosse Association in the early 70s, Hutton was approached to get involved within the organi- zation. That started a volunteer career in Canada's national sport that began in 1971 and continues to this day. Within the Ajax Lacrosse Asso- ciation, he served as everything from equipment manager to coach in the early '70s before serv- ing three terms as the organiza- tion's president in the mid- to late '70s. The impetus for his getting involved was to contribute in a positive way. "They were looking for people to assist and because I was not going to drop him off at the arena, I volunteered my time and was a house league manager and coach. What drove me was I was one of those people who say, 'Don't com- plain about it, do something about it'," says Hutton, who was also involved with Ajax minor hockey at that time. While serving as president of Ajax lacrosse in 1978, he was asked to run for the board of di- rectors of the OMLA. He jumped at the chance, citing a need for change at the provincial level. "There were some things I did- n't like in minor lacrosse," recalled Hutton. "I believed they were going in the wrong direction and I believed I could help." What he objected to was the OMLA's focus on elite lacrosse, at the expense of the recreational arm of the sport. His plan was twofold: to revamp the provincial structure and go to a 'zone con- cept' where a group of communi- ties develop a relationship based on competition, and a skills com- ponent as part of the youth pro- gram in the province. Hutton points to the Whitby Minor Lacrosse Association as one that took the skills compo- nent to heart. And, to this day, that association still enjoys a solid recreational base as the un- derpinnings to its elite-level rep program. He's proud that the zone sys- tem still exists in minor lacrosse. He laments, however, that after he left office in the mid-'80s, the skills program was discontinued. "They didn't continue with the program because they felt it was too much work and it was easier to dump it," says Hutton, who maintains that the OMLA's shift away from skills development at that time eventually spelled the death knell for minor lacrosse in Ajax. His toughest task over the years, he admits, was bringing the Canadian Lacrosse Association back from the brink of collapse in the mid-'80s. Insolvent and in tat- ters at the time, Hutton was brought in as part of the transi- tion team to deal with the trou- bled organization. "I was drafted to go to the Canadian Lacrosse Association on a transition team because it was in dire straits," he recalled, adding the transition team was a group of people assembled who were essentially 'trustees in bank- ruptcy'. "They told me that if I didn't ac- cept the job they would close the office." Hutton spearheaded a re- designing and re-writing of the constitution of the CLA, setting out the organization's objectives and philosophies, all the while working to get its financial house in order, weaning it off govern- ment assistance on the road to self-sufficiency. "We applied some things to make (the CLA) more functional, while meeting the needs of the membership. We brought it back to life," he says. "It was a big job, but when you break it down into its components, it's workable." He's most proud of the nation- wide school program, launched in 1986, that brought lacrosse and the equipment needed to play the game into schools across Canada. "That program is still going." The president of a Pickering- based chemical company, Hutton has also assisted as a long-time volunteer in more than just lacrosse circles. He served for six years as president of the Ajax Fig- ure Skating Club where his daughter Debbie and son Jim skated for many years. He also sat as a member of the Ajax Sports and Recreation Advisory Council for stints in the '70s and '80s. Hutton's quick to give credit to his wife, who was also extensively involved as a volunteer in sports in a variety of capacities. "My wife Barbara was involved as a volunteer as well. You can't be involved as long as I did with- out the support of your family. I couldn't have done it without the support of my wife." Ajacian makes Hall of a contribution Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo William Hutton will be inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Association Hall of Fame in Burnaby, B.C. next month. Sports Briefs OCTOBER 19, 2003 Select Food turns in gem of an effort against jewellers AAJJAAXX ----The Ajax Ladies' Basket- ball League is back on the court for another season, and the 2003-04 campaign opened up with some fast- paced action Wednesday night. In a high-tempo game between Donlands Jewellers and Select Food Products, Select Foods pulled into an early lead and never looked back. Donlands kept it close, not trailing by more than two baskets until the last two minutes of the game when Select Food Products stormed to a 40-26 victory. Julie Hughes led the scoring with 12 points with her teammate and newcomer Sonia Thomas netted 10. Marie John replied with six points for Donlands Jewellers. In the second game, Scotiabank, a new sponsor, promptly scored a 32-26 victory over East Side Mario's. Af ter a well-balanced attack in the first half, Scotiabank led 17-12. Connie Joseph put the game away in the second by scoring nine of her 11 points for the bankers. Pam Roper replied with seven for East Side Mario's. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering. Axemen hope to bounce back against Huntsville AAJJAAXX ——The Ajax Axemen are looking for a little good news to ar- rive. And, that news could come in the form of the Huntsville Wildcats who arrive today (Sunday) at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. The struggling Axemen will be meeting a Huntsville squad that's as hard up for a point in the standings as the Ajacians these days. In fact, the Wildcats are in worse shape, going through the first 13 games of the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League regular sea- son without a victory. As a result, Huntsville is deeply mired in last place in the North Conference stand- ings. The Axemen (1-9-1-1 for four points, last in South Conference standings) are off to a slow start to the season, losing their last eight in a row entering Friday night's game against the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The result wasn't available at press time Friday. Aggressive work on the boards pays off for Pickering High BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAA MM ——Practice certainly made for perfect for the Pickering High School Trojans senior girls' basketball team. Put through their paces in prac- tice this week, leading up to Thurs- day's Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) tilt with the cross-town rival Dunbarton High School Spartans, the Trojans executed their offence well in the game situation. But, that wasn't the sole story of the Trojans' solid 46-34 victory over the visiting Spartans at the Ajax school. It was about ball movement, great work on the offensive and de- fensive boards but, most impor- tant, it was about aggressive play and pure hustle that paved the way for Trojans, who improved their LOSSA mark to 6-2 on the season. A beaming Trojans coach Sarah Wills was happy with the way the team practiced this week, and she was elated with how those court lessons translated into an overall solid effort in Thursday's game. "We spent a lot of time working on our offence and we made it work today," says Wills. "That was the best thing about the game. After a long weekend, it was great to see." She concurred that it was the Trojans' doggedness on the glass, led by forward Renee Reece, which had the biggest impact on the game's outcome. "We're not an exceptionally tall team, but we're an aggressive team," explained Wills. "They go for the rebounds." Conversely, Dunbarton coach Christine Campbell couldn't hide her disappointment with her charges' effort against the Trojans. Her Spartans were overshadowed in every facet of the game by Pick- ering High, but it was flat-out hus- tle that told the tale on this after- noon. "We played aggressively, but not aggressively enough to win today," says Campbell. "We didn't take ad- vantage of their mistakes.' Before the game was 30 seconds old, the Trojans had put their stamp on the proceedings, making the Spartans pay for turnovers in a 6-0 run. Riding some solid shooting by Shauna Morgan and some in- spired inside work by Reece, the Trojans held a 17-5 lead at the end of the first quarter. The senior Trojans led by as much as 14 points in the second quarter before some shots started dropping for the Spartans who cut the deficit to 10 points (25-15) at half time. Pickering High continued to re- bound the ball in the third quarter, which paid dividends in a 34-21 cushion at the finish of the third quarter. The Trojans opened up a 14- point advantage, but the Spartans chipped away at the Pickering High lead, getting it down to nine points at 39-30 at the midway mark of the fourth quarter after Dunbarton's Christine Banjac nailed a mid- range jumper. That seemed to shock the Tro- jans back to reality as they prompt- ly outscored the Spartans 7-2 the rest of the way to put the win in the bank. Mo rgan led all scorers with 17 points for the Trojans. Reece con- tributed 15 points. Meanwhile, Banjac led the Spar- tans with 11, followed by Jenn Wright with nine. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, October 19, 2003 PAGE 19 A/P 4999 COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE Helps protect and prolong life of cooling/heating components.

Inside, displayed on the walls, are the SecurPlus series of vinyl windows which you're free to oper- ate and you'll discover the many special features including how they can be cleaned without going out- side. "After being in this business for 25 years, I can honestly say these are the finest windows on the market," says Wayne. "They're triple sealed to reduce air leakage and come with heavy duty hardware." All SecurPlus vinyl windows come with Low E Glass which filters out the ultraviolet rays keeping your home cooler in the summer and eliminate fading of your curtains, drapes and furniture. All of the windows come with a lifetime warranty on the frame and hardware. Wayne would also like his cus- tomers to know that he does all of the estimates personally, eliminating the cost of a salesperson. Durham Windows and Doors also does all of its own installations, which ensures that every cus- tomer gets a high quality job done at the best possi- ble price.
