Riding to break the silence
A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser
Pickering resident Al Maggi is riding in Cycle for Autism events this
week in an effort to raise funds for research. His daughter Kyra was
diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Pickering man
helps raise
awareness, funds
through Cycle for
Autism events
By LLesley BBovie
Staff Writer
DURH AM –––Alberto and
Anna Maggi knew some-
thing was wrong when their
daughter, at the age of a
year and a half, still wasn’t
talking.
They took her to a pedia-
trician, who told them to get
her ears tested. From there,
they were referred to a
speech and language
pathologist and three
months ago, it was discov-
ered Kyra has autism spec-
trum disorder.
The diagnosis was devas-
tating.
“I’m a writer and one of
the biggest things in my life
is communication,” explains
Mr. Maggi. “I just thought
how cruel it is that I can’t
communicate with my own
daughter.”
Before the diagnosis, all
the Pickering dad knew
about autism was what he
had seen portrayed in the
f ilm, ‘Rain Man,’ starring
Dustin Hoffman and Tom
Cruise.
“But there’s so much more
to it than that,” he says.
“The movie showed the
worst form.”
Raising awareness about
autism is exactly what in-
spired him to take part in
two Cycle for Autism events
this week. He and his sister-
in-law Faelyne Templer, an
Ajax resident, took part in
the Toronto ride yesterday
and will participate in the
Durham Region event Sat-
urday, Aug. 9 in Oshawa.
“Faelyne is doing this be-
cause she recently had a
baby, who is now six months
old,” says Mr. Maggi. “It
makes you think. It doesn’t
allow you to stay detached
because it’s not such a re-
mote possibility anymore.”
Autism spectrum disor-
ders occur in at least one in
500 and in as many as one in
300 people, according to the
event’s Web site (www.cycle-
forautism.com). Symptoms
vary in each individual.
“Kyra has never self-stim-
ulated in that way,” Mr.
Magg i says, referring to the
hitting and rocking people
most associate with autism.
“She bounces a lot and
waves her arms.”
She also had trouble rec-
ognizing her name and mak-
ing eye contact with her par-
ents when they walked into
a room.
With the help of behav-
ioural therapy, the two-year-
old is now responding to
about 60 per cent of com-
mands and has started to
verbalize by making sounds.
Dave Elliott remembers
watching his friend John
Keating deal with the same
despair when his then-two-
year-old son Curtis was di-

Resident
wants
proper
tribute
to artist
Claremont man
wants ties to
Thomson noted
By LLesley BBovie
Staff Writer
CLAREMONT ––– You may
soon be able to stroll through
Tom Thomson Park or live
on Tom Thomson Lane in
Claremont, if Michael Skret-
teberg has his way.
He thinks Pickering should
consider renaming Clare-
mont Neighbourhood Park
and designating a street in
tribute to the late artist, who
was born in the hamlet in
18 77 and was thought to have
inspired the Group of Seven.
“It always perplexed me
how Claremont is the birth-
place of Tom Thomson yet
there’s nothing here to hon-
our him,” says Mr. Skrette-
berg. “When Mike Myers was
honoured recently by Scar-
borough with Mike Myers
Drive, I thought, ‘Ok, off
come the gloves’.”
So the Claremont resident,
who lives in a century home
built by Peter McNab, a fish-
ing buddy of Mr. Thomson’s
father, took his request to the

DURHAM —— Canada “can-
not afford” to opt out of the
ITER research and develop-
ment project or it will seri-
ously risk being left behind in
important energy research,
according to a study released
by some of Canada’s pre-em-
inent scientists.
The ‘due diligence study’,
co-authored by 29 members
of the North American sci-
ence community and
brought together by Univer-
sity of Toronto president
Robert Birgeneau, confirms
the validity of fusion science
and the requirement for the
International Thermonu-
clear Experimental Reactor

velopment of fusion energy.

‘Relief’ for hospital
CEO welcomes
Province’s total
commitment
By MMike RRuta
Staff Writer
AJAX ––– Hume Martin al-
ready has his hand out.
The Rouge Valley Health
System CEO warmly wel-
comed the news that the
Province would cover 100 per
cent of lost revenue by hospi-
tals affected by SARS. He says
the two hospitals were “pretty
hard hit by SARS” in terms of
expenses borne and revenue
lost.
“It’s a great relief to know
we will be able to submit
claims,” Mr. Martin says, not-
ing the system in the three
months ending June 30 lost
$1.6 million in revenue.
When lost telephone and
cafeteria revenue is included,
he says the figure is probably
close to $2 million over the
three months.
Parking revenue at the Ajax
site was down $68,000 from
April to June. In June alone,
cafeteria revenue was down
$12,000, OHIP billing dropped
$36,000, and the hospital lost
$56,000 in preferred accommo-
dation revenue compared to
June 2002.
“Up until now, we’ve been
remunerated at 75 per cent of
our expenses,” said Mr. Mar-
tin, noting the remaining 25

per cent has been held
back. “My hope is we’ll be
able to rely on full funding.”
Rouge Valley, he pointed
out, served one of the high-
est volumes of SARS pa-
tients in the Toronto area.
At the Ajax facility there
were nine probable and
nine suspect SARS cases,
while at the Scarborough
site there were 22 probable
and 28 suspect cases.
Another piece of good
news came when the
Province stated it would
bump up its previously an-
nounced funding increase
for Ontario hospitals by 28
per cent, with the Rouge
Valley Health System in
line for a total of $6.6 mil-
lion more than last year.
In the spring budget, the
government committed to
raising hospital base fund-
ing by $484 million in the
2003/04 year. Premier Ernie
Eves last week announced
a further $136 million “for
expanded services at re-
structured hospitals and
for priority programs.”
The $620 million increase
means funding to Ontario
hospitals will reach $10.4
billion in 2003/2004.
Mr. Martin said the un-
expected increase “was
above our expectations,
frankly, and therefore we’re
delighted.” The extra funds
will help stabilize the sys-
tem’s financial position, he
said.
“We have been, as a pair
of hospitals,... struggling
with our financial positions
for some time and trying to
stabilize it by making the
service changes needed to
make us run at a break-
even run rate,” said Mr.
Martin.
“This brings us closer to
that, but doesn’t get us
there,” he added.
Mr. Martin says staff is
still trying to determine if
the $6.6 million base fund-
ing increase includes
money the hospital re-
ceived earlier this year,
roughly $3.2 million. If it’s
all new money, he says the
increase translates to 3.8
per cent more in base fund-
ing over the previous year.
City’s committee of the
whole last week. Council-
lors said they were open to
the idea, but felt commu-
nity groups in Claremont
should be consulted first.
“I totally support where
you’re coming from but we
have to ask the residents,”
Ward 3 Regional Council-
lor Rick Johnson said at
the meeting. “It would be
like the Province telling us
how to plan for Pickering.”
That’s fine
with Mr. Skret-
teberg, who is
optimistic there
will be plenty of
support for the
idea. Groups
like the PineR-
idge Arts Coun-
cil and Picker-
ing Historical
Society have
been very recep-
tive, he says.
And with the
help of the his-
torical society,
he also plans to
approach the
Province to get
a historical
plaque erected
near the front
entrance of the
Claremont
Community
Centre.
“I’m going to
go after all
three. I’m only
48 years old and
I have a lot of
energy to put
into the things I
believe in,” he
adds.
Mr. Thomson was born
in Claremont, but actually
grew up near Georgian
Bay.
He drowned in 1917, but
his rugged landscapes still
hang in galleries around
the world.
Mr. Skretteberg says
he’s not an artist but he is
a fan of the Group of
Seven and appreciates the
contribution the painter
has made to Canadian art
history.

At the urging of the Toronto Region Conservation Authority,
the City of Pickering began an Official Plan Review, which led to a Growth Management Study.
The purpose of this study is to:
• Provide a better understanding of where growth should occur
• Preserve significant cultural and environmental lands
• Represents the interests of all parties involved
• Undertake this work in an open public process
The Tory Government wants to take this study away from you!
This has never been done to any other municipality in Ontario!
To sum it up, the Tory Government will plan the Seaton Lands in Pickering behind closed doors,
without meaningful input from the taxpaying residents of Pickering!
Does Janet Ecker really believe that the infrastructure for Seaton,
that is ESTIMATED AT $200 MILLION DOLLARS,
will be paid for by the tax payers in Pickering?

Pui-Yee Ho
started at
practice during
high school
BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee
Staff Writer
DDUURRHHAAMM ––––You might
say Pui-Yee Ho’s eyes
were opened to a whole
new world, when she first
stepped into the Picker-
ing Optometrist Clinic as
a high school student, al-
most a decade ago.
Today, the University of
Waterloo graduate is an
optometrist herself,
launching her own prac-
tice in Brooklin, and back
to work with the doctors
at their Pickering and Os-
hawa clinics.
“I wanted to be in the
medical profession but
I’m the type of person
who can’t deal with death
and sick people. I’d take it
home with me,” explains
Dr. Ho, 26.
“With optometry, the
results are almost imme-
diate. You put on the
glasses and you’re able to
make someone see. You’re
able to help most people,”
she adds.
Her work at the clinic
began in Grade 11 while
enrolled in the co-op pro-
gram at O’Neill Colle-
giate. From there, she
was hired for the summer
and began working one or
two nights assisting the
clinic’s three partners -
Dr. Mark Fitzsimmons,
Dr. Emile Gillezeau, and
Dr. Charlie Wang - until
graduating from high
school.
“It was really nice to see
(doctors) who really
wanted to help out a stu-
dent and encourage them
to follow their dreams,”
she remembers. “It was
nice to have some men-
tors.”
At the University of Wa-
terloo, Dr. Ho gained her
Bachelor of Science be-
fore going on to study op-
tometry. She graduated
last fall and has just re-
cently opened her own
practice at the Brooklin
Medical Centre, nice and
close to her family in Os-
hawa.
She divides her time be-
tween there and the Pick-
ering Optometrist Clinic
on Saturdays and Os-
hawa Eye Associates on
Mondays. One Friday a
month, she takes her
equipment to the Whitby
Mental Health Centre to
see patients there.
“It’s just my way of giv-
ing back to the communi-
ty,” Dr. Ho explains. “Nor-
mally patients are taken
to an outside clinic but by
the time they get there,
they are so agitated.”
The three partners at
the two clinics are proud
of Dr. Ho’s achievements
and flattered in a way.
“You feel like gee,
maybe you made some
kind of impact or had
some role in her wanting
to enter the field,” says
Dr. Fitzsimmons, who de-
scribes the new doctor as
“very kind-hearted and
generous”.

DDUURRHHAAMM –––– Ajax resident Leslie Fallaize raised $1,200 for Camp Trillium in Muskoka
and the Hospital for Sick Children after she had her long braids cut off at Cosimo’s
Hair Fashion in Whitby in exchange for pledges. The hair is being donated to Wigs for
Kids. The organization will use it to make wigs for kids undergoing chemotherapy.

release from
Pickering Unit 4
PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Steam re-
leased last Friday at the
Pickering Nuclear Gener-
ating Station was part of
the ongoing commission-
ing process, says Ontario
Power Generation.
Spokesman John Earl
said the steam was re-
leased from Unit 4 shortly
after 6 p.m., just as com-
muters were making their
way home.
“It was unfortunate
timing,” he said. “A num-
ber saw it. The 401 wasn’t
moving all that well at
that time.
“It wasn’t a safety issue.
All that was released was
steam used in the plant.”
About a dozen calls
came into the station
shortly after the release,
Mr. Earl noted.
Unit 4 is the first of the
four ‘A’-side reactors OPG
is bringing back online.
Subsequent reactors are
scheduled to be back in
service over nine- to 12-
month intervals.
“Commissioning will go
component by compo-
nent,” he said. “That’s
what we were doing on
Friday, testing a system.”
The unit is now operat-
ing at five per cent of full
power. “It allowed us to
move on. We believe we’ll
have electricity from Unit
4 this month,” Mr. Earl
noted, adding it would be
next month before the re-
actor is at full power.
Safety, he said, has been
the company’s priority as
it moves through the com-
missioning stages.
“We don’t want the
schedule to drive the
process. We want safety to
drive the process,” Mr.
Earl added.

P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 6, 2003 www.durhamregion.com
Where are these
kids’ parents?
My two boys and I just
got back from our
semi-annual pilgrim-
age to Canada's Wonderland.
Once again we had a ball rat-
tling our brains around inside
our heads doing loop-de-loops
at 90 km/h and once again, to
my utter sadness and disap-
pointment, it looked like we
were surrounded by the cast of
'Chained Heat'.
The only difference this year
was that I noticed my 11-year-
old staring at the nearly naked
teenage girls as much as I was.
What a lovely father and son
moment. My eight-year-old ei-
ther hasn't cottoned to the al-
lure of the female form yet or he
was just better at hiding it than
we were. I suspect the latter.
I'm not exaggerating when I
tell you how much these experi-
ences disturb me. I find it ab-
solutely spirit-crushing to see
everywhere around me young
women whose meager self-es-
teem clings anemically to a pair
of half-exposed breasts or a sug-
gestively waving tattooed rump.
Never mind what's inside baby,
get a load of this wrapping
paper!
To be fair, the young men are
no better. So many of them
wrapped up in navel gazing,
doing their damnedest to look
hard and tough and utterly de-
tached in their chains and head
bands, swearing and spitting
and waving their hands around
like a pathetic bunch of carpal
tunnel victims.
I don't mean to sound like
some myopic, right-wing, brush
cut hankering for the 'good 'ol
days'. I consider myself a fairly
enlightened individual. I read
Whitman, Thoreau, Emerson as
well as Maxim. I also remember
that the 'good 'ol days' weren't
always that good. We have al-
ways had apples who, for a myr-
iad of reasons, went bad. We al-
ways will. What, I suppose, I am
lamenting here is the large-scale
abandonment of parental re-
sponsibility I see around me.
Who is helping these kids?
Listen people, let your sons and
daughters express themselves
on the outside as they will and
must, but for God's sake make
sure you have shown them what
lies inside first. Show them their
iron, show them their art, show
them their infinite potential.
Teach them that they are born
unique and wonderful and that
nothing Calvin Klein or Britney
Spears or Kobe Bryant says or
does can change that. And first
and foremost, let's let them be
children for as long as it takes.
What some people expose their
young kids to, out of nothing
more than apathy, is absolutely
criminal.
We are flushing a generation
of wonder down the crapper
folks, because we are lazy par-
ents. Parenting is a voluntary
activity. You signed on for it so
suck it up. Stand for something.
Raise the bar. Money talks very
loudly so tell the manufacturers
of television shows, films, com-
mercials, music, fashion, any-
thing that affects your precious
child just exactly what you think
of what they're doing. Use your
power and make informed,
smart choices. Things will
change in a big hurry. I'm no
book burner. I will always be
first in line in support of individ-
ual rights and freedoms. Under-
stand however that included in
there is my children's right to
their childhood and a bright
and happy future. I'll go down
swinging protecting that.

Crone, actor-comic-writer,

Letters to the Editor
Doing it all,
except safe
driving
Long weekends offer police
special insight into danger
It's not as though people drive with care and caution
at the best of times, but there's something about
the summer long weekend that brings out, well, the
beast in highway motorists.
Take the 22-year-old reported to be driving 160 km/h
who was whipping all over Hwy. 400 in his attempts to
emulate a race-car driver. Or what about the man, who
not only had expired plates and no car insurance, but
was caught deep-frying food and tossing a salad, all
while going well over the highway speed limit. Or take
the lunatic who was clocked at 180 km/h and told offi-
cers he had already had a crash earlier in the day.
Yes, people, it's a jungle out there. It's a wonder any of
us take the wheel and risk our lives on the highways
and biways of southern Ontario.
Fearing for your life on Hwy. 400 or Hwy. 401 has be-
come part of the mad rush to and from the cottage. Of-
ficers caught one woman who blew three times the legal
limit, so the foolishness isn't confined strictly to idiots
who speed and try to multitask while dealing with other
maniacs at the same time.
Here in Durham, we still had at least 26 of 2,600 dri-
vers stopped by RIDE patrols who haven't yet come to
grips with the message that drinking and driving kills.
Eight of the drivers were nabbed for blowing over the
legal limit while 18 others were issued 12-hour warnings.
While one per cent may seem like a small number, re-
member that represents only those caught by a Reduce
Impaired Driving Everywhere patrol. No doubt other
impaired morons driving two-ton killing machines were
whipping around Durham undetected.
The RIDE patrols had company while out and about.
Members of the Durham chapter of Mothers Against
Drunk Driving, whose members include relatives of
people who have been killed by drunk drivers, accom-
panied RIDE patrollers. MADD members can and do
speak from the heart about the devastating effects
drinking and driving have had on their families.
Through visits to schools, articles in newspapers and
ads on television and radio, MADD does all it can to
highlight the dangers of drinking and driving. The goal
is to show all those who might drink and drive the hor-
rors their actions can lead to.
We can all remember the horror of the high-profile
deaths of Durham police association president Terry
Ryan, killed by a drunk driver in 2002 or father and son
Donald and Bryan Gainer, killed by a drunk driver in
2000.
Such deaths were so preventable if only the drivers
who chose to get behind the wheel, knowing they were
impaired, had put away the car keys and chosen not to
drive. It's a message we can't emphasize enough.
One generation
touched another
TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr::
I attended a very sad event on
Saturday, July 26. It was the fu-
neral of an extremely beautiful
young angel, Sarah Burnham. At
the age of 15 she succumbed to
heart failure.
It was strictly through the
friendship that my grand-
daughter had with Sarah that
gave me privilege to mingle with
this tender, loving and caring
young lady, if only for a couple of
times. But then at the age of 73,
perhaps I couldn't quite relate to
their world. Now I can!
At the end of the day on July
26, after witnessing so many
young people dressed in outfits
that would gladden the
Almighty himself, and the sin-
cere and reverend way they con-
ducted themselves, I was able to
return home feeling a lot happier
for this, our human race. Bless
you Sarah. Maybe those in heav-
en will show you the same love
and affection you gave to your
family and friends during your
very brief and temporary
stopover here on earth.

Parking woes during
dragon boat races
TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr::
Despite the agreements pertain-
ing to the annual dragon boat
races held at Frenchman's Bay
they have not been honoured.
Seven years ago we were told
parking rules would be adhered
to. This has not happened. As a
resident of 821 Elvira Court, I
find that every year my street
has become a parking lot for two
days. Vehicles with special per-
mits parked here are not related
to the residents. The three-hour
parking rule is violated. Who has
the right to constrict my road to
possible emergency vehicles?
While my mayor participates in
the festivities, he is totally obliv-
ious to the infractions on my
court. Bylaw enforcement is
non-existent. My concerns,
when expressed to the Pickering
dragon boat association, are ig-
nored. This must stop.

Not all seniors want
to give up tax credit
TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr::
In letters to the News Adver-
tiser in recent weeks, some se-
niors offered to gladly give up
any property tax credits in
favour of larger school budgets.
The tone of these letters gave
the impression that most se-
niors would feel the same.
Speaking for myself, I definitely
reject that view as do all of the
seniors I spoke to, by the way.
However, I am sure that noth-
ing would stop any and all 'pro-
tax' seniors from donating their
tax refund to their local school
board, or hospital, or charity, or
church, as they may see fit.
Come to think of it, these
same seniors should also be de-
lighted with the provincial Lib-
erals' platform for the next elec-
tion, which could include tax in-
creases. Or return to the happy
days for seniors when inflation
rose by 40 per cent from 1985 to
1995, yet property education
taxes rose by 120 per cent even
though enrolment only in-
creased by 16 per cent.

Education taxing
TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr::
Hugh Peterson's letter about
the seniors' school tax refund
showed deeply flawed thinking.
The circumstances in my life
have left me alone and working
at three part-time jobs to make
ends meet.
However, I am fit and healthy,
and I do not use our health-care
system very much. Does that
mean I can opt out of contribut-
ing to Mr. Peterson's hip re-
placement if he needs one? I
have a neighbour who does not
drive. Should she be exempt
from paying for road repairs? A
civilized society is not a super-
market, where citizens can self-
ishly choose and pay for only
the services they personally find
worthwhile. Having a healthy,
educated, productive popula-
tion benefits all of us. This tax
credit is no more than a despi-
cable attempt by Ernie Eves
and Janet Ecker to buy your
vote, at the expense of your
grandchildren's and great-
grandchildren's futures. Are you
really willing to fall into the
Tory trap?

Built in 1870, this is a beautiful example of a typical Victorian
house which some still refer to as the “Frank Prouse” house.
Mr. Prouse arrived in the Village in 1919 and established himself
as a reliable builder. He held the position of inspector for twen-
ty-seven years in Pickering Township and in the Village for two.
He served as a Village Trustee from 1923 - 48 and served on
the Volunteer Fire Brigade for seventeen years, twelve of
which were as Fire Chief. Mr. Prouse and M.S. Chapman
were responsible for Hydro extending the service to Pick-
ering in 1925 by canvassing the residents of Pickering Vil-
lage and collecting the signatures for the subscription to
the service.

NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION
for ROUGEMOUNT DRIVE
The reconstruction of Rougemount Drive is a project that must
follow the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process
approved under the Environmental Assessment Act. Due to the
traffic calming component of the project, it was classified as a
Schedule B project.
On February 19th, 2003, the City of Pickering published a
“Notice of Completion” for the planning process of the project.
Within the 30 day public review period, the City received
notification from the Ministry of the Environment of a request
for a Part II Order.
The E.A.A. Branch received the Part II Order request and a
recommendation was sent to the Minister of the Environment
for a decision. On July 14th, 2003, the City of Pickering received
the Minister’s decision to deny the Part II Order request. In
accordance with the Environmental Assessment Act, the project
may now proceed.
Commencing the week of August 25, 2003, the City of Pickering
(contracting the services of North Rock Construction), will
undertake the construction of Rougemount Drive under
Contract T-02-2003. This project will include:
• Full reconstruction of Rougemount Drive, from Rouge
Hill Court to Altona Road (with minor road works from
Dalewood Drive to Rouge Hill Court)
• Traffic calming measures
• New storm sewer and residential service connections
• New sidewalk (on the west and south side), from
Dalewood Drive to Altona Road
• Replace watermain and residential water service
connections
• Some additional sanitary service connections
• Minor utility works
The duration of the entire project will be approximately 12 - 15
weeks, during which time the road will be closed to traffic (local
traffic excepted). Emergency services, Transit, Waste Collection
and School Buses will be contacted, and advised of the work and
associated traffic control measures.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding in this
regard, and will make every effort to complete the construction
work as quickly and efficiently as possible, while keeping the
safety of the public paramount.
QUESTIONS:
A “Road Construction and How It Affects You” pamphlet will be
handed out to affected residents. This should provide answers to
frequently asked questions. If you have further questions, or wish

Family members,
friends invited to
get involved, talk
BByy AAlleexxiiss SScciiuukk
Staff Writer
DDUURRHHAAMM –––– She calls it the ‘quiet
factor.’
That’s how Laura Jenkinson, from
Oshawa, describes the wall of silence
that builds up around the issue of ho-
mosexuality. Ms. Jenkinson is a les-
bian who says many people have
trouble talking not only to her about
her sexual orientation but about gay
and lesbian relationships in general.
After holding it inside, Ms. Jenkinson,
then 25, finally decided to come out of
the closet eight years ago.
Now 33, Ms. Jenkinson says those
walls with people are just starting to
break down after years of silence
about her sexuality.
In hopes of bettering her relation-
ship with her family, Ms. Jenkinson
contacted Parents and Friends of
Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).
“Different members of my family
will accept me in different ways,” said
Ms. Jenkinson. “I contacted PFLAG
for myself, to try to connect my fami-
ly with my own sexual orientation
and bridge the gap. We were able to
have a meeting and it was a very pos-
itive experience. Being a lesbian is as
normal as anything else. It is all I
have ever known,” said Ms. Jenkin-
son.
PFLAG is a non-profit internation-
al volunteer organization which was
founded in 1981 to provide local sup-
port groups for family members who
have recently had a child “come out.”
PFLAG says it provides an opportu-
nity for dialogue about sexual orien-
tation and acts to create a society
that is healthy and respectful of all
human beings.
According to PFLAG there were no
local organizations dedicated to help-
ing gays and lesbians in Durham Re-
gion before spring 2002. People could
phone a Toronto-based youth phone
line to get answers to questions but,
according to Oshawa native, Lindsey
Clarke, one of the Durham PFLAG
organizers, that resource was just not
enough.
“What do you do when there is
someone on a Friday night at whatev-
er time who needs to talk?” said Ms.
Clarke.
Ms. Clarke said that the window of
opportunity for people to call was too
small and because of that she wants
people to know PFLAG is open 24
hours a day seven days a week.
“We are trying to get involved and
have people on call. If we get...an
emergency we want to let them know
it isn’t the end of the world,” she said.
According to PFLAG statistics, the
suicide rate among gay and lesbian
teenagers is far higher than among
heterosexual teenagers, which is why
the organization feels its services are
not only helpful but necessary.
Francine ‘Frankie’ Doucette of Os-
hawa began the PFLAG chapter in
Durham after her son David told her
he was gay. Lindsey Clarke is David’s
best friend and joined together with
Mrs. Doucette to help give teens an
outlet and opportunity to talk to peo-
ple who are supportive.
“I went into the [Pride] Parade last
year for the first time and I was so
overwhelmed by it that I just had a
lump in my throat the whole time I
was walking. And that is what gave
me more of the incentive to get this
going because I thought we really
need something like this,” said Mrs.
Doucette.
Mrs. Doucette says she under-
stands how parents feel after a child
tells them they are gay but wants par-
ents to know it isn’t the end of the
world either.
“It took me 10 minutes to get over
it. I said [to David] ‘You don’t look
any different, you are the same per-
son and I love you no matter what.’ “
After David told her he was gay, she
began wondering how long he had
kept it from her.
“I don’t know how long he held it in-
side. And that was the part that real-
ly bothered me, that he felt he had to
hold it inside for so long,” said Mrs.
Doucette.
Although the Durham PFLAG
chapter is still fairly young, the orga-
nization has been receiving calls. Ms.
Clarke hopes that in time the word
will get out that there is an organiza-
tion here to help families who are not
sure of what to say or do.
“One day we will get to a stage
where we are meeting on a regular
basis. And then maybe we can move
it out of the living room. We are on an
as-needed basis right now,” said Ms.
Clarke.
PFLAG will talk to anyone and en-
courages teens struggling to tell their
parents to call for advice or even
schedule a meeting.

579-2842 or Lindsey Clarke at 905-576-
5445.

Chest’ on a monthly basis. This
space allows residents to give away
items they no longer use and for
non-profit groups to list their
needs.
This month features events for
two groups that make regular re-
quests via the Treasure Chest. On
Aug. 9, Second Chance Wildlife
Sanctuary is having a barbecue
fund-raiser at Chatts Bar and
Grill, 368 Bayly St. W.
Also, anyone wishing to give a
cat a good home should visit the
sanctuary, located between Brock
and Westney roads on the 7th Con-
cession (beside the Cherry Downs
Golf Club), one concession north of
Hwy 7.
It’s ‘Bag-a-bargain’ days at Girls
Incorporated of Durham (formerly
Big Sisters) on Aug. 15 and 16. For
$5 you can purchase a bag and fill
it with clothes and accessories.
The not-for-profit store is at 398
Bayly St. W.
To utilize this space, call 905-

With Durham’s expanded blue
box collection, homeowners can
place as many blue boxes or ham-

should contain all household
paper, while others collect all to-

Bundle regular boxboard and

Other opportunities to reduce
waste include: Supporting the
community by giving away un-
wanted items; using the Treasure
Chest and Pickering’s new materi-
als exchange program; creating
space to backyard compost; inves-
tigating a disposable diaper recy-
cling service; taking household
hazardous waste and scrap metal
to Miller Waste and drywall to Can-
Sort; and making conscious pur-
chasing decisions. Even two bags
of garbage are too many.

Lottery shines for Summers
AAJJAAXX --Winning the Encore por-
tion of a lottery left an Ajax man
speechless.
Fraser Summers won the
$250,000 prize in the July 26 Lotto
6/49 draw.
“I jumped up and couldn’t talk,”
said the 59-year-old. “I had many
sleepless nights before I claimed
the prize.”
He works in the maintenance de-
partment at Sklar-Peppler in Whit-
by. His plans for the windfall in-
clude early retirement.
The winning ticket was bought at
AJ Convenience in the Ajax Plaza.

to ensure it takes its place with the
rest of the developed world on the
ITER project.
In June 2001, Canada put forward
a bid to host the project in Claring-
ton. To date, the federal government
has continued to negotiate to host
the research facility here, competing
against bids from Spain, France and
Japan, whose countries have also
submitted offers to host the facility
for the project’s international part-
ners, including all G-8 countries.
However, last December Canada
determined in light of stiffening
competition it would have to revise
its host bid if it was to have a chance
at the facility being located here. To
date, the federal cabinet has not
given the nod on the revised offer,
which would require it to commit
about $1.15 b illion over 30 years,
matching the investment of the
Province of Ontario. The anticipated
return on that investment is up-
wards of $10 billion for the host
country and as many as 69,000 man-
years of employment.
“Canada should enter negotia-
tions to become a full party in the
ITER project. Canada cannot afford
not to be part of ITER,” the panel
stated in the conclusion of the May
15 report.
“The commitments by the Euro-
peans, Japan, Russia, the United
States, China and possibly South
Korea (which has since committed
to the project) to go ahead with
ITER provides the opportunity for
Canada to be part of a tremendous
research effort that no country can
support on its own. Should power
generation by fusion reactors be-
come a reality, the benefits for each
participating country would be
enormous.”
As well, the panel calls for a full fu-
sion research program to be devel-
oped in Canada to ensure this coun-
try keeps pace with other nations in
fusion energy development.
“Regardless of where ITER is lo-
cated, Canada should develop a
properly funded co-ordinated na-
tional fusion program,” the panel
states. “Such a Canadian fusion (re-
search and development) program
will cost in the order of $30 million
per year - starting with $3.5 million
per year and escalating to $30 mil-
lion per year within five to six years.”
Murray Stewart, head of ITER
Canada, the organization that is
working with the federal govern-
ment to put Canada’s offer to host
ITER forward at international nego-
tiations, says the scientific study
was an important step in answering
the question of the project’s viability
and the benefits of participation.
“The structure is very much if you
(as a country) are not part of ITER,
you are not part of the ITER bene-
fits. From the scientific community’s
point of view, there is a huge risk if
Canada doesn’t participate.”
The study “puts one of the little
nagging questions” that some mem-
bers of Parliament had about the
project, “to bed,” he adds.
Gary Polonsky, president of the
University of Ontario Institute of
Technology, Ontario’s new universi-
ty scheduled to open in Oshawa this
September, says if ITER is located
at the Clarington site, UOIT would
become the lead university, not only
in this country, but worldwide for
the project. The benefits and return
on investment for Canada, and
UOIT “would be enormous”.
It would more than offset any
costs associated with creating a na-
tional fusion program, says Dr.
Polonsky, chairman of the ITER
community council.
“Unless Canada partners on this,
we are closing the door on a truly
enormous once-in-a-lifetime oppor-
tunity,” he says.
Clarington Mayor John Mutton
says in June, when a Durham dele-
gation went to Ottawa to shore up
support for ITER with MPs, took
the study and two of its authors,
Marc Rosen, UOIT’s dean of the
School of Manufacturing Engineer-
ing, and professor Tony Haasz, di-
rector of the University of Toronto
Institute for Aerospace Studies.
“It absolutely took that concern,
as to whether the science of ITER
was valid, off the table,” for those
MPs they spoke to, he said. “We were
trying to attack all the negatives we
were hearing.”
An international site decision is
still on schedule for late October, ac-
cording to Dr. Stewart and Canada
is the only country in the bidding
without an offer in its hand.

Local man wins the
showcase showdown
BByy CChhrriissttyy CChhaassee
Entertainment Editor
DDUURRHHAAMM —— Business student
James Telfser got a first-hand look
at show business this summer and
came out a winner.
The 20-year-old Oshawa man,
heading into his second year of busi-
ness studies at Laurier University,
won close to $20,000 U.S. in prizes on
the popular TV game show, 'The
Price is Right.'
"It was probably one of the happi-
est moments of my life so far," said
Telfser. "Everybody dreams of being
on 'The Price is Right.' Everybody
who watches it says they want to be
on it. I was the guy who made it. It
was awesome."
A fan of the show, Telfser watches
it daily with his roommates at
school. On Oct. 6, when his episode
of the show airs, they'll be watching
him successfully win a 19-foot sail-
boat, bathing suits and a trip to Aca-
pulco and a few other prizes.
"I think it's going to be a day off
school for everybody," he said. "It's
going to be a party."
Telfser and his girlfriend Kelly
Brooks were on a vacation to San
Diego, visiting a cousin, earlier this
summer. They got tickets to 'The
Price is Right' and headed to Los An-
geles, expecting to be members of
the audience.
"We left at three in the morning
and waited in line for eight hours," he
said. "But it was definitely worth it."
Staff from the show interview
everyone in the audience and then
contestants are picked to be on the
show. Much to his surprise and de-
light, Telfser was chosen.
"You just sit there and they called
up the first four people. Then they
called the next person's name and it
was my name. It was the biggest sur-
prise of my life."
On stage with show host Bob
Barker, Telfser put a bid on a
karaoke machine and won it. He
spun the wheel and won again on 80
cents.
"Then I went to the showcase and
won the showdown," he said.
He put in his guess of what the
items in the showcase were worth
and was just $1,000 off, without going
over, making him the winner.
He'll be taking his girlfriend with
him on the Acapulco trip, which has
to be taken within one year of the
airing of the show.
Backwoods
production at
Pickering Museum
BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann
Staff Writer
PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——It's the 1870's
and the clan has gathered to
bury Winnifred Slack.
And, that's when The
Chickens Come Home to
Roost.
The Backwoods Players'
are set to perform the sequel
to the comedy Mutton Veiled
as Lamb on Saturday, Aug. 9
and Sunday, Aug. 10.
"It's all ad-lib. It's not
scripted," says Backwoods'
spokesman Mary Delaney.
"It's first-person interpreta-
tion, so each person becomes
a character," she adds.
There are more than 100
people who are members of
the Backwoods Players, Ms.
Delaney adds, noting the en-
tire production crew is in-
volved in the play as cast
members.
"The main focus is fun. It's
good for all ages," Ms. Delaney
adds. "The cast has a ball.
They love it. It's crazy fun."
The event is being held at
the Pickering Museum Vil-
lage, with the doors opening
at 5:30 p.m. and the show
starting promptly at 6 p.m.
"As visitors arrive, they're
led down through the village
by cast members. They'll be
wearing black arm bands, as
they're presumably there for
the funeral," Ms. Delaney
states.
The audience gets a chance
to view the body and will be
offered 'hair souvenirs'. There
will also be a graveyard read-
ing to welcome the Slack fam-
ily members.
"Cast members will mingle
with the audience, so you
never know what's going to
happen," she adds.
The Comhaltas Ceoltiori
Durham, the Irish music soci-
ety, will perform during the
wake, she says. The idea is
they play the Irish family who
came for the funeral and now
a hat has to be passed to raise
the money to send them back
to Ireland.
The names of original Pick-
ering settlers are used by cast
members, such as Slack, Tool
and Drudge, she says.
Ms. Delaney won't reveal it,
but there's a surprise ending.
A great deal of research has
gone into the play, she says.
"It's been very carefully re-
searched, the food, the
music," she notes. "Over the
winter, two ladies researched
Victorian funeral practices."
One tradition they discov-
ered was to leave a bowl of
snuff next to the body. People
would take a pinch and it
would make them sneeze.
The sneeze would, presum-
ably, wake up the dead per-
son.
This is the Backwoods' sec-
ond such production and "the
third is in the works. It's al-
ready in our minds. We think
way ahead.
"Characters in this are writ-
ing letters to each other as
characters. It's outside of the
play and it won't be revealed
unless it's brought up" during
the play, she adds.
She notes that like a typical
village, there are people of all
ages in the production.
The museum village is in
the hamlet of Greenwood, at
Hwy. 7 and Westney Road, in
north Pickering.

TTOORROONNTTOO ——Two of Ontario's
most respected and high-profile
professional golfers are at the
helm of a new Canadian junior
golf tour being launched this
summer in Ontario.
The new Nationwide Junior
Golf Tour will be overseen in
Ontario by Keir Smith and Ash-
ley Chinner, both accomplished
Canadian tournament profes-
sionals.
Chinner, a Brooklin resident,
is a former Buy.Com player and
Canadian PGA national cham-
pion. Smith, who gained four
years of NCAA tournament ex-
perience at San Jose University
before playing on the Canadian
Tour, is now a teaching profes-
sional at Toronto's prestigious
National Golf Course.
The NJT, which will hold
events in Ashburn and Sudbury
this August, has its roots in the
West, where it has enjoyed
enormous success as the West-
ern Canada Junior Golf Tour.
Its popularity among junior
golfers - the WCJGT has been
the fastest-growing junior golf
tour in the country since its in-
ception five years ago - was be-
hind the decision to rename the
tour, and expand into Ontario.
The not-for-profit NJT
will stage numerous
events in the province
in 2004 and will expand
into Quebec and the
Maritimes in the com-
ing years.
In Ontario, the
Boston Pizza-spon-
sored NJT will link up with the
Canadian Professional Golf As-
sociation to host championship
events, and Smith says this will
also serve to make the Tour
unique.
"The response from all the
pros I've talked to has been
tremendous," he says. "There is
a niche for this Tour, whether
your goal is to play college golf
or to break 90 in competition,
and it's awesome that the pros
are getting involved."
This year's events include the
Ontario PGA Junior Champi-
onship, which will be held at the
Royal Ashburn Golf Course on
Aug 11-12, and the Northern On-
tario PGA Junior Champi-
onship, which will take place at
Timberwolf Golf Course, Aug.
25-26. Tournaments are open to
boys and girls, aged 10 to 23,
who will compete in four differ-
ent age divisions.
Shamasdin serves
up two tennis titles
in a row
PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——The titles are
starting to stack up for Irfan
Shamasdin.
The 16-year-old Pickering
youth has won two tennis
tournaments in the past few
weeks, including the Ottawa
Open 4-Star event this past
weekend.
Shamasdin easily overpow-
ered Ashish Bhandari in the
championships, winning 6-1,
6-1. It was the second consec-
utive tourney in which the two
players met in the finals.
Held at the Rideau Tennis
Club, Shamasdin played an
errorless baseline game and
excellent net play to win the
title.
In the semis, Shamasdin
got a service break in both
sets to knockoff Octavian
Stane of Toronto 7-5, 6-4.
Playing Daniel Furhman in
the quarters, Shamasdin won
handily, 6-0, 6-3.
During the boy's under-18
Ontario Tennis Association 3-
Star tourney, Shamasdin used
a solid serve and strong net
play in beating Bhandari 6-4,
6-2.
Artur Suski of Oshawa pro-
vided tough competition in
the semis, but Shamasdin
prevailed 4-6, 6-2, 6-1.
The quarters was another
three-setter, this time
Shamasdin won 7-5, 6-7, 6-2 in
three hours over Tomohiro
Ono of King City.
Shamasdin also breezed by
Aram Melmoukov of North
York during the early rounds,
winning 6-1, 6-0.
Coaching Shamasdin is
Dave Ochotta of the Pickering
Recreation Complex.

AAJJAAXX —— The Ajax Predators
under-10 girls' soccer team repre-
senting the Ajax Soccer Club
claimed first place in their home
club's tournament on July 27.
The Predators blanked a strong
Brams United squad 1-0 in the
exciting final to capture their
first ever championship. The
girls proved they knew how to get
to the finals by placing second
three times last year, but put it
all together with a tremendous
team effort.
In the finals, Nichelle Prince
scored in the 10th minute of play
to give the Predators the only
marker they would require.
Strong goaltending and fine de-
fensive play did not allow
Brampton a chance to tie the
score. In the semi-finals the
Predators survived a scare from
the Ajax Thunder team with a 2-
1 victory. The Predators scored
quickly but as always Ajax Thun-
der battled hard in this exciting
contest.
During the qualifying round
the Predators scored six times
and did not give up a goal. Other
team members include Courtney
Abel, Rhea Alonzi, Kathryn
Bean, Tori Edwards, Melanie
Ferrara, Taylor Frey, Kaitlyn
Fitzmaurice-Church, Emily
Greenop, Sara Kaljuvee, Joan
Moore, Vanessa Morra, Rachael
Pogue-Bozo, Tasha Vaughan and
Britney Walbourne. Coaches are
Robert Alonzi and Mike Bean.
The Predators next tournament is
August 16 and 17 in Whitby.

BEAUTIFUL KITCHENS & BATHS. PERFECTLY BUILT!
A home renovation should be a hassle-
free experience. It should start on schedule
and finish the same way. You shouldn’t have
to worry one minute about your new
kitchen or bathroom.
“Customers don’t want to hear excuses
of why a project is being delayed or that the
renovation crew is working on more than
one project at a time,” says Sam Beninato of
Plumbing Mart. “For instance they would
like to know they could go away on vaca-
tion and come back to a finished job.”
Right now Plumbing Mart wants you to
go on vacation with their “Now You’re
Cruising With Plumbing Mart” summer pro-
motion.
Just fill out a ballot at participating
Plumbing Mart locations and you’ll have a
chance to win a $10,000 luxury Caribbean
Cruise one week vacation for two including
airfare.
“At Plumbing Mart we have one crew
working at one project at a time,” says Sam.
“That is why we can guarantee our start and
finish dates.”
Satisfying their customers is what has
made Plumbing Mart leaders when it comes
to kitchen and bathroom renovations. Over
the last 45 years they have established an
excellent reputation with a list of more than
18,000 satisfied customers.”
“We have the best combination when
it comes to products and people,” says Sam.
“That’s to ensure each and everyone of our
customers is completely satisfied with their
project which is also backed by Plumbing
Mart’s 5-year installation warranty.”
Plumbing Mart designs, supplies and
installs with no hidden extras. They also
offer a FREE in-home, no obligation esti-
mate.
Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the
Plumbing Mart showroom is only 15 min-
utes from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering.
It's a short drive west on Hwy 401, south on
McCowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two
major intersections to Midland and then just
one block north to Plumbing Mart on the
west side.

for a free in-home estimate. Call Plumbing
Mart toll free at 1-888-BATHRENO or 1-
