Help needed during Thanksgiving crunch By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer PICKERING — It’s Tuesday morning just before 10 a.m. and St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Food Bank is humming with activity. A crew of about 20 volun- teers are darting around this converted storage unit on Pickering Parkway, stocking shelves, sorting through cans. There’s plenty of work to be done preparing for the 40 families expected to show up for food today. Roy Rey began volunteer- ing at St. Paul’s almost eight years ago. “I just wanted to help. I bring my grandson some- times in the summer to help out,” he says. Mr. Rey is one of about 70 people, who regularly volun- teer at the food bank, when you take into account all the sorters and drivers, making routine pick-ups from local grocery stores. Their deliveries are about to get bigger, at least that’s what director Rae Coulter is hoping. The annual Thanks- g iving Food Drive for St. Paul’s runs Oct. 4 to 18 and the timing couldn’t be better. “We have some empty shelves,” she says, gesturing around the room. “This all has to last until spring.” The food bank is short on pork and beans, stew, tin fruit, dry soups, luncheon meat, and snacks for chil- dren’s lunches. Higher ticket- ed items like juice and cereal are also hard to come by. St. Paul’s has had to use its monetary donations to help purchase tins of juice. Families are allowed to come here, twice a month, provided they have some proof of social assistance and live within Ajax and Picker- ing. Ms. Coulter says she has people come to her, who have full-time jobs but still unable to cope.

It’s been a longtime goal of durhamregion.com, said Todd Blayone, manager of Web pub- lishing for the site. “We’ve set records every month, but this is a milestone,” he said. The closest the site has ever come was in July, at 900,000 page views. Mr. Blayone expects more than 300,000 unique visitors to visit durhamregion.com a mil- lion times by the end of 2003 - and 90 per cent of that is local traffic. The rapid growth of the site is because of a redesign and re- structure in March that added many new features to the site, like milestones, movie listings, trade shows and more news. Future plans for durhamre- gion.com include a 411 business directory, a local personals/dat- ing service and a youth channel. In the short term watch our site Thursday night for regular provincial election updates once polls close at 8 p.m. Index...

Surrounded by the four Progressive Conservative candidates in Durham Re- g ion, Mr. Eves urged the small crowd of party workers and supporters to continue to “make one extra phone call, put in one more lawn sign, take that one extra step to talk to someone and I guarantee you that not only will we be back, but we’ll be forming our third consecu- tive majority government.” The polls, however, tell a different story. Published re- ports show the Liberals with Ev es makes push for Ajax-Pickering Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, left, and Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker, second from right, greet Premier Ernie Eves who visited Pickering Monday.

Local food bank feeling the pinch By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer PICKERING — The City has put its contingency plan in place should Wayne Arthurs be elected MPP Thursday night. Wa rd 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner was given unanimous approval at a special council meeting Monday afternoon to act as interim mayor. His office would only take effect if Mayor Arthurs wins the Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge seat Oct. 2 and last until a new council is sworn in after the Nov. 10 municipal elec- tion. “It’s in case of an emer- gency,” explained Coun. Brenner afterwards. “If the mayor has to vacate his seat, there has to be a mechanism if there is an emergency. And we’ve had one emergency after another lately.” Asked about compensa- tion, the councillor said he Kyle MacPherson/ News Advertiser photo By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer PICKERING — A 39-year-old man is dead after waves of six to eight feet in height tossed three Brampton men from a fishing boat off Pickering’s shores Friday night and nearly downed a local search and rescue team. Ngoc Manh Nguyen, of Austin Drive, was found floating along Lake Ontario’s shoreline, near the Pickering nuclear plant. He was later pronounced dead at Rouge Valley, Centenary hospital in Scarborough. A five-man crew from the Pickering Ajax Rescue Unit (PARU) is being commended for managing to pull one of the men out of the water after their own boat was thrown against the rocks, sustaining significant dam- age. “They took some consider- able risk upon themselves to carry on the rescue,” said Gary Endicott, commodore of the volunteer unit. “They had little speed and manoeuvrability, and had begun to take on water,” he added. Durham Regional Police said the three men had launched their 12-foot Zodi- ac-type boat from the end of Liverpool Road at around 8 p.m. At 9 p.m., officers were called to the lake at the bot- Deadly waters claim life ✦See Rescue page A3 ✦See Leaders page A2 ✦See Food page A3 Brenner named interim mayor ✦See Brenner page A5 THE OUTSIDE EDGE THE OUTSIDE EDGE To Advertise in this montly feature call Marilyn Brophy at 905-683-5110 We can help you have a change of heart about exercise We can help you have a change of heart about exercise Fitness & Weight Loss Centre for Women Work out for as little as a day!

Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty is scheduled to be in Durham Region this morning, to visit with candi- dates and supporters. Mr. Eves dismissed the polls, say- ing, “There’s a strong silent majori- ty of Tory supporters out there and they’re going to surprise the pun- dits this Thursday night.” He also joked, “Only a Liberal would assume the election is over before it is. “I never take people for granted,” he added, noting he won his first election in 1981 by six votes. About 100 people attended the noon-time event, including Durham MPPs, Janet Ecker (Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge), Jim Flaherty (Whitby- Ajax), Jerry Ouellette (Oshawa) and John O’Toole (Durham). In an interview following Mr. Eves speech, Mr. O’Toole also dismissed the poll showings, saying, “There’s such a large undecided (segment) that I’m seeing and the premier is reporting.” Mr. O’Toole added he’s getting a different impression knocking on doors. “Our polls are knocking on doors and there’s a large percentage of un- decided,” Mr. O’Toole said. Mr. Eves touched on campaign is- sues during his 15-minute speech, pointing to the government’s achievements over the past eight years. “Politics is all about choices, very clear choices. There’s the choice be- tween a prosperous economy or re- turning to the failed policies of the Liberals and NDP,” Mr. Eves stated. “It’s between tax cuts and tax hikes.” Standing at the podium, he said there are “three tax cutters up here”, as he, Mr. Flaherty and Ms. Ecker have all served as finance ministers. Mr. Eves stated Mr. McGuinty “admitted for the first time last week he’s going to raise your taxes by $1 billion. “Walter Robinson of the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation said last week ‘it’s very clear what Mr. McGuinty is proposing on the per- sonal income tax side is a tax in- crease.’ Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals are going to raise your per- sonal income taxes $1 billion. We’re going to continue to reduce taxes,” Mr. Eves added. Mr. Eves also touched on Tory promises to ban teacher strikes, lockouts or work-to-rule campaigns during the school year.

They found one man hanging onto the boat, about 150 feet from shore, and two more men in the water. “I think (the fishermen) soon real- ized they were in trouble but it was too late,” said police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. PA RU was called in by the Cana- dian Coast Guard and Pickering Fire Services, to aid in the rescue, while the Durham Regional Police deployed its helicopter Air-One. But it was while trying to get out of the channel near Frenchman’s Bay, that the PARU crew ran into trouble. The high seas on Lake Ontario meant not much water in the chan- nel and the boat bottomed out, ex- plained Commodore Endicott. It sustained considerable damage to both the starboard and port out drives, which help drive the boat’s engines. Without those drives, the boat was essentially left without any power steering, he explained. The crew, made up of coxswain Myles Thompson, Rob Anderson, Paul Murphy, Jim Coleman, and Al Smith, continued on anyway and reached the overturned boat at around 9:52 p.m. With the help of lights from Air One, the team pulled in the 42-year- old fisherman and treated him for hypothermia. He and a 36-year-old man, who managed to swim to shore, were taken to Rouge Valley, Ajax and Pickering hospital. Meanwhile, PARU’s only vessel has been pulled out of the water and stored at a nearby marina, where damage is still being estimated. Mr. Thompson takes little credit for the rescue, but instead defers to his crew. “I just happened to be in charge that night,” he said. It was a big weekend for PARU, which also sent four of its volunteers to compete at the 2004 International Search and Rescue Team in St. John’s, Newfoundland Sept. 26 and 27. The team took home first place in the on-the-water search and rescue, for fire dewatering operations and treatment for hypothermia. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 1, 2003 PAGE A3 P AJAX 282 Monarch Ave (905) 427-7708 Supplier Must Liquidate!

The Pickering resident was one of two candidates to register to run in the city for a spot on the Durham Catholic District School Board- and with two trustee positions on the board, Mr. Ban- nister was acclaimed along with incum- bent Jim McCafferty. Current Trustee Fran Pereira did not enter the 2003 race. In an interview, Mr. Bannister says he ran because there was a lack of Catholic trustee candidates in Pickering. Besides that, he has a vested interest in being a trustee. “I’d like to have my say,” he says. “I figure there isn’t too much of an interest there, and my son is going to go to school in a couple of years.” A former Brampton resident, Mr. Bannister has lived in Pickering for two- and-a-half years. Married with an 18- month-old son, he is an account manag- er for CN and a member of the Durham Region Manufacturers’ Association. Mr. Bannister has never held politi- cal office before, but says his priority is to do what he thinks is best for kids, now and looking ahead to the future. “I want to make sure that everyone’s rights and the rights of the kids going to school are protected; the students come first,” he says. As well, he wants to ensure students have the opportunity to take part in sports and other extracurricular activi- ties in their schools. BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Mary Ann Martin is quick to reply when it’s suggested that the decision to say ‘no’ to Marc Hall must have been a hard one. “It wasn’t tough for the board at all,” says the Whitby trustee and chairman of the Durham Catholic District School Board. “The board knew right from the beginning what our stand was.” Marc Hall was a student at Mon- signor John Pereyma Catholic Sec- ondary School in Oshawa last year. Both school principal Michael Pow- ers and the board turned him down when he asked permission to take his then-boyfriend to the school prom. A storm of attention, and crit- icism descended upon the board and even Liberal Party leader Dal- ton McGuinty entered the fray: a let- ter to trustees said they were being “unfair,” and he appealed to each of them “as a Catholic” to reconsider. Anthony Meagher, auxiliary bish- op of Toronto for Durham Region, responded to the letter, saying, “A student in our Catholic school sys- tem should never be made to feel ex- cluded or ostracized at any school event because of his or her sexual orientation.” At the same time, he said allowing the couple to attend together would be “a clear and posi- tive approval not just of the boy’s ‘orientation,’ but of his adopting a homosexual lifestyle.” After a brief trial in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Whitby, Mr. Justice Robert MacKinnon ruled in Mr. Hall’s favour. The larger issue, if the court’s de- cision can be applied elsewhere, is expected to come to court this fall. Even if Mr. Hall wins round two, the case could end up at the Supreme Court of Canada. Then, as now, the crux of the case pits the Canadian Constitution against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The latter forbids discrimination based on a person’s sexual orientation. Howev- er the Durham Catholic board main- tains that its decision was based on denominational grounds, protected by the Constitution and thus im- mune from scrutiny under the char- ter. Media from across the globe cov- ered Mr. Hall’s prom showdown. Since then, it has faded from the spotlight. “No one has really asked us about it,” says Trustee Martin, adding the board’s stance hasn’t changed. Marilyn Byers hasn’t forgotten about the case. The president and founder of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), York Region, she is also on the Coalition in Support of Marc Hall steering committee. Both groups have standing in the coming court case. Ms. Byers, the mother of a gay son and a retired Catholic teacher, urged the board to let Mr. Hall go to the prom with his boyfriend. She says the distinction between homosexual inclination and lifestyle does not exist, object- ing to both words. “Both these terms are incorrect, because it’s not an inclination, it is a part of who you are; you’re not in- clined to be gay,” says Ms. Byers. “Many people need education on this topic and it’s usually the fear of the unknown that’s causing this.” Similarly, she says being gay is not a chosen lifestyle, the way a person chooses to eat or skip breakfast, or attend a movie or not go. She believes the board chose a minor issue, attendance at a prom, on which to stand its ground, calling it “ridiculous.” Trustee Martin says the board re- ceived “hundreds and hundreds” of e-mails in support of its position. Opposing e-mails were generally not from individuals, but from groups such as PFLAG, she says. The e-mails to trustees did claim a casualty: former Oshawa trustee Stan Karwowski resigned after re- sponding angrily and disparagingly to one writer. Trustee Martin and Mr. Karwowski apologized, and she disassociated the board from his slam against homosexuals. Trustee Martin says the board based its decision on the Catholic position, summed up in the phrase, “God loves the sinner, not the sin.” In the coming case, the Ontario Catholic School Trustee Association (OCSTA) will be legally represented in the courtroom. “We’ve entered the case with the objective to protect Catholic school boards when they make decisions on denominational matters,” says Louise Ervin, OCSTA’s president and a Catholic trustee at the Water- loo Catholic District School Board. P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 1, 2003 www.durhamregion.com BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The municipal “elec- tion” for Catholic trustees is over. With eight positions on the Durham Catholic District School Board, and just eight registered can- didates at the close of nominations Friday, all the spots have been filled by acclamation. Catholic board chairman and Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin will return for a fifth term, as will six of the other seven trustees who com- prise the current board of trustees. The only exception is in Pickering, where first-time candidate Paul Bannister is replacing Trustee Fran Pereira, who did not run this time around so she could become a teacher. Also back for another term is vice chairman and Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey. He has been a Catholic trustee since Team Canada defeated the Soviet Union in the legendary 19 72 hockey series. “A c clamations right across the board,” the 73-year-old marvelled, noting the last time it occurred was in 1988. “I think that the ratepayers must be satisfied with the representation they’ve been getting from the exist- ing board,” said Trustee Corey, adding trustees have been able to get along as a group and set aside any squabbles that arise between them for the good of students. Apart from maintaining the board’s Catholicity, he said he ran because the board has a new educa- tion director, Patricia Manson, hired less than a year ago. “She has an excellent vision for the future and I want to be part of it,” said Trustee Corey. A name from the Catholic board’s past is in the 2003 race: Kevin Ashe, board chairman in 1994, is a Picker- ing city council candidate. Meanwhile, a flurry of last-minute sign ups has made Pickering the city to watch on public school trustee election night. Five Pickering hope- fuls, seeking one of the two positions on the Durham District School Board, registered last week, for a total of nine trustee contenders in the city. There are trustee races in six of the seven municipalities represent- ed on the 11-member public board, as Gordon Baxter was acclaimed in Uxbridge-Brock. Five of the 11 incumbents at the public board did not enter this year’s run for office. Pickering Trustee Jennifer Bridge, who as a high school student pulled off a shocker in 2000 by out-pacing both incumbents, sat this one out. Os- hawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen and Uxbridge-Brock representative Nancy Loraine didn’t sign up either. Two trustees are after municipal council seats - Whitby Trustee Doug Ross is running for a spot on Os- hawa council, while Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford hopes to be elected to Whitby coun- cil. Whitby will also attract some in- terest on trustee election night. In- cumbent and public board chairman Elizabeth Roy faces challenges from former town councillor John Dol- stra, Tim Pollock and Scott Temple- ton. Whitby ratepayers elect two trustees to the board. Two Oshawa residents, André Barrett and Joseph Gualdieri, have signed up for the Conseil scolaire de district Catholique Centre-Sud race. The board has schools in Ajax, Whit- by and Oshawa. Pickering resident Sylvie Landry, who registered for a spot on Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest, was ac- claimed. The board’s lone Durham school is in Oshawa. Here is the final list of public school board trustee candidates. An asterisk after the name denotes an incumbent.

The Pickering trustee on the Durham Catholic District School Board, like all his peers, was acclaimed after just two resi- dents signed up for the Nov. 10 municipal vote. A 25-year resident of the city, Trustee McCafferty is married with two adult chil- dren who went through the Durham Catholic school system. A computer ana- lyst, he has been a trustee here since 1991. “I’d like to bring our Pickering stu- dents back to Pickering,” Trustee McCaf- fer ty says when asked why he ran for re- election. “There are 464 students attend- ing Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax.” At Pickering’s St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School, he says there are 1,411 students, 300 hundred more than was projected for this year. Trustee McCaffer- ty says that means instead of two porta- bles at the school, 12 are required. While overcrowding has eased, add up the num- bers and he says it’s almost time for a second Catholic high school in Pickering, which he has often championed. Trustee McCafferty says the board’s accommoda- tion plan projects a new high school in about three years. If the Seaton community is built and the provincial Liberals are elected tomor- row, he says it would create more accom- modation pressure in Pickering. The Lib- erals have promised a “real cap” of 20 students per class in the primary grades, and that means more pupil spaces would be required. Trustee McCafferty supports joint busing with the public school board, since he believes savings can be achieved and directed back to the classroom. He says the board must continue to advocate for more special education funding from the Province, and for updated school- funding benchmarks, since the cost of es- sentials such as electricity are based on late-1990s dollars.

Candidate deadline closed for municipal election BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — All the nomination papers have been filed, and a few withdrawn, now it’s time to meet your candidates for the upcoming municipal election Nov. 10. There will be a three-way race for mayor in Pickering, with Mayor Wayne Arthurs seeking re-election. His challengers are Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan and former regional councillor Doug Dickerson. Two candidates for mayor with- drew their nomination. Margaret Osborne dropped out of the race last Thursday, citing personal rea- sons. Robert White withdrew his pa- pers Monday exactly one minute before the 5 p.m. deadline. His only interest in running was to ensure there were enough candi- dates for a mayoral race should Mayor Arthurs be elected MPP and have to drop out of the race, he said. The only acclaimed candidate was Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. One of the most interesting races promises to be in Ward 1, where five candidates will square off for the city seat. They include Ross Arnott, Kevin Ashe, Joe Pacione, Enrico Pistritto and David Steele. David Demerino withdrew his candidacy Monday. Elsewhere around Pickering, Wa rd 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner faces Paul White, who dropped out of the city seat race last Friday to enter the regional race. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean squares off against Brian Evely, and Bonnie Littley challenges Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pick- les. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson defends his seat, run- ning against Sally Miller. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 1, 2003 PAGE A5 P QUALITY, VALUE, SERVICE, TRUST NE101M103 ©2003.

Under Section 242 of the Munici- pal Act, a municipality may appoint a member of council to act in the place of the head of council when that person is “absent, refuses to act, or the office is vacant”. “And while so acting such member has all the powers and duties of the head of council,” the Act reads. Pickering has always had a rotat- ing acting mayor but it’s a position that is mainly ceremonial, repre- senting the head of council at com- munity events and functions in his or her absence, said Coun. Brenner. “It’s usually a lame duck council after nomination day,” he added. “It’s not so much what council is doing as much, as if there were an emergency.” At the meeting, Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Dave Ryan nominated Coun. Brenner for the appointment. But the only one to speak to it was Mayor Arthurs. He called the situation “an unusu- al circumstance”, adding the interim post would last little more than two months.

Citizens duty to vote Democracies only remain strong if participation level is high While there will no doubt be a winning party cho- sen on Thursday, this provincial election could well produce a big loser: us. That's because the most important single issue which truly measures the health of any democracy is the par- ticipation level of its electorate. And the numbers in provincial elections dating back to 1975 have not been good. The 1999 election saw only 58.3 per cent of eligible voters bother to go to the polls. That was the second worst turnout in a provincial election in the last eight elections. Only 1981 was lower when a sur- prise mid-winter campaign resulted in miserable weath- er on election day. Still, 58 per cent went to the polls. In June 1995, 62.9 per cent voted, while 64.4 per cent came to the polls in September 1990. In the fall of 1987, 62.7 per cent voted, while in May 1985, 61.5 per cent hit the polls. Turnouts in the 1970s were even better with the 1977 vote attracting a 65.6 per cent participation rate and 67.8 per cent, the best in nearly 30 years, voting in 1975. Obviously, the trend is rolling downhill, a worrisome problem that seems to defy an easy solution. Some believe youth issues are not discussed enough during campaigns and that the first-time voter feels left out of the process. Indeed, leaders talk in passing about tuition fees, the minimum wage and job-training, but it gets short shrift behind the biggies: taxes, power, health and education. Many people don't believe their vote means much. Those who support longshot parties aren't inclined to bother heading to the polls in our first-past-the-post sys- tem. Some adopt the 'if I don't have any chance whatso- ever of electing your candidate in your riding, why both- er to vote? Some have suggested Ontario and Canada adopt a proportional representation system which would ensure every vote would count. For example, in the last provin- cial election, the Green Party, which earned four per cent of the popular vote, would have four per cent of the seats in the legislature. Such a system would almost certainly eliminate future majority governments and might result in more frequent elections. But it would mean every vote matters. Until such a change occurs, it's important to make your voice heard. It's still one citizen, one vote and in some ridings, a small number of votes does make a dif- ference. Want proof? Recall the 2000 U.S. presidential election when a several hundred Floridians made the dif- ference between George Bush and Al Gore. Every vote mattered then and every vote will matter this Thursday so make the time and cast your ballot.

In exchange for per- forming certain menial duties and helping out around the house, the boys will be reward- ed with a sum of money at the end of each week. I am not certain I am com- fortable with this set-up. I never received an allowance as a kid. In my house it was ex- pected that, because we were part of a family, we would chip in and do our part to help out, without any thought of being paid for it. And it's not like we went without anything. If we needed money for some little thing all we had to do was ask. My par- ents were always more than happy to tell us "No." I'll admit I was always a little envious of those kids who did get an allowance, kids who had money for Mojo's, Blackballs and Ton'o gums, kids who actu- ally went into the variety store to buy stuff, not just to stare at the nudie magazines. But I got over it. I actually went on to lead a fairly successful, happy life in spite of my non-al- lowanced youth. And today, when I go into the variety store, I buy stuff and I look at the nudie magazines. But my wife, who is a lovely woman and who could probably take me in three out of four falls, assures me if the al- lowance is monitored properly, the children will gain valuable knowledge in the handling of money. It will be knowledge that will stand them in good stead as 'financially responsible adults.' That's a phrase that is, coincidentally, completely for- eign to both she and I. Suzanne and I have all the financial smarts of a pair of Magpies. If it's shiny and new we must have it. While our impulsive lifestyle has undoubtedly kept things fresh and fun, and certainly ex- citing for our bank manager, there is no question it could stand to be tempered with at least a little monetary acumen. Which leads me to the only real loophole in this closely monitored allowance plan. How am I, a fiscally challenged adult, supposed to be relied upon to make sure my kids handle their money properly? It's a little like leaving the fox to g uard the henhouse isn't it? "Well boys, you've each got a crisp, new $5 bill in your hands. Now, we could safely tuck that money away in a boring old GIC earning a paltry 4.5 per cent or we could buy ourselves a pantload of sponge toffee! Chicks dig a guy with a bag full of sponge toffee ya know! Or hey, look! If we put all that money together we can buy the new Transformatron action fig- ure. This one's totally amazing. When he's not battling evil he turns into a humidifier! How cool is that!" You see what I mean? It doesn't really bode well. I need someone to monitor me. Any- body want a job? I'll give you an allowance. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. NNeeiill CCrroonnee ee nn tt ee rr ll aa uu gg hh ii nn gg Columnist’s pen stifles democratic discussion TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Columnist Neil Crone saves his best lines for his column, as your paper tells us, was the best laugh of all. I saw nothing amusing or funny about his recent rant against those opposed to same sex marriages. Imagine a news- paper allowing its readers to be called 'drunks,' 'bigots' or 'hate mongers' because they oppose homosexual marriages. Crone claimed we are screaming mimes shouting at the top of our lungs while he screams the loudest at anyone who dares question the wisdom of recog- nizing homosexual unions as a proper marriage bond. For Crone's information, God did not create Adam and Steve but Adam and Eve. If Crone knew anything about the Bible he would know that because of Adam's disobedience, sin en- tered the world and twisted what God had made good. That includes our sexuality of which homosexuality is but one exam- ple of the perversion of God's gift of sexuality. Granted heterosexual unions are not all that they might be but adding a perverse wrong such as homosexual marriages does not make a right. Further, the claim that homosexuals are born that way doesn't wash. Is Crone suggesting therefore that adulterers, thieves, murderers were made that way and there- fore no penalty should be at- tached to their wrongdoings? Even if those opposed to homo- sexual marriages are wrong in the eye of Crone, should we not have a right to say so? What happens to our children who will be taught that homo- sexuality is acceptable? Already parliament is about to pass laws to make it a hate crime to speak against these things. This law goes far beyond two people doing their thing. It strikes at the root of all that is sacred and holy and at democ- racy itself. Crone's unfunny arti- cle makes it clear that you can bash the heterosexual commu- nity with impunity but don't you dare oppose the homosexu- al agenda of total acceptance or you will find yourself mocked by a columnist and punished by laws distorted to destroy what is best and good for society as a whole. PPaassttoorr BBrriiaann RRoobbiinnssoonn,, PPiicckkeerriinngg Former Pickering councillors gave athletes a lift up TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: It was great to see that the City of Pickering has honoured one of their own, Miss Perdita Felicien. She is one of the many Pickering residents that has benefited from the Pickering Recreation Complex. However, we fail to realize that this complex would never have been if it wasn't for the foresightedness of a previous council elected by the people of Pickering. The one person who was the driving force to get the recre- ation centre for the then Town of Pickering was Mr. Alexander M. Robertson. It was his love of sports that the Town now has the benefits of such a recre- ation complex. We as citizens fail to look to the people who have in the past given of themselves in many different ways. Mr. Robertson, who at the age of 65 was swimming lengths in the pool to raise money for one of the many charities that he was so involved with. It took many years to get the recreation complex to what it is now some 20 years later but no one seems to remember the hard work and perseverance it took to get the recreation com- plex built. It has gone away from its original intent that was to have a diving board of a height that local children could train in their home pool and not have to travel a great dis- tance to complete or train. The recreation complex has come a long way to what it is now. The citizens who live here now have benefited from what was to what is now, but it is the tendency of the present council to say look where we are now, when it was the foresight of the past council 20 years ago that has made the difference in the City of Pickering today. No one recognized their past contribu- tion to the city. It was past councils who have made the difference. HH..GG..

The News Advertiser This Week The Canadian Statesman Uxbridge Times-Journal Metroland Durham Region Media Group Celia Klemenz/ News Advertiser photo Homecoming for Felicien carried off in grand style By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —To the victor goes the spoils. And, Pickering's world champion Perdita Felicien was humbled and awed by the outpouring of affection, not to mention gifts, in a homecoming fit for a conquering hero Saturday. Wet and dreary weather notwith- standing, the red carpet was rolled out for Felicien in a celebration fea- turing plenty of pomp and circum- stance. The trappings of celebrity were everywhere: A limo that stretched half a city block ferried Perdita and her family to the Picker- ing Recreation Complex; a bevy of politicians were on hand, many trying to capture some of her star power; a crush of media out in full force to cover the proceedings and a lobby full of fans looked to catch a glimpse and hear from the City's and Canada's newest hero. But, most of all, the 23-year-old emerging track and field superstar was glad to be home, among friends, family and, now, a legion of adoring fans. "Going to the plane in Paris, I want- ed so much to go home," Felicien, suf- fering from a bout of laryngitis, told an audience at the Pickering Town Centre. She instead had to travel to Illinois to resume her studies at the University of Illinois. "I can't express how important your support has been to me. I definitely couldn't have done it without your support. I can't say thank you enough. I hope to make everyone proud next year in Athens and in the years to come." One month ago Saturday, Felicien shocked the world and herself, by winning the women's 100-metre hur- dles title at the 2003 IAAF World Track and Field Championships at St. Denis, near Paris. Her time of 12.53 seconds in the final represented a new personal best and a new Canadian record. A month later, the 23-year-old hur- dler was home from the University of Illinois, sharing her heady accom- plishment with her hometown. At 11 :30 a.m., Felicien stepped out of the Cadillac limo wearing a simple white blouse and black, pinstriped slacks and walked into the spotlight. With camera crews at the ready and Mayor Wayne Arthurs at her side, she was piped into the Pickering Recreation Complex by bagpiper John Hill and an honour guard from the Pickering fire department. Once inside, she was greeted to a rousing ovation from an overflowing crowd. Arthurs delivered the first of many personal tributes and accolades. At the podium, the mayor presented Fe- licien the key to the recreation com- plex, while adding, "You can treat it as a key to the City." The mayor later announced that at Monday's meeting of City Council, a bylaw would be passed naming Feli- cien as the 'City's Ambassador to the World.' Her former track coach Curtis Sa- hadath, who instructed her following her graduation from Grade 8 at Glen- grove Public School, was next to the dais. He saw potential in her right from the start. "Immediately we recognized that she was a very special athlete, espe- cially in the hurdles. "She took some time off after the first year, she came back and, as they say, the rest is history." But, in addition to being a world- class athlete, Sahadath says Felicien is so much more, referring to her as "delightful, extremely coachable and a tremendous leader. "She carries herself with more hu- mility than you can imagine." Sahadath later made bold predic- tions of his former protégé, noting she's on the cusp of winning three Olympic titles, "starting with the next one" in Athens in 2004. "I also believe that when her 100 me- tres time comes down from where it is, she'll be the first woman to run under 12 seconds in the 100-metre hurdles and I said it here today," says Sahadath. Fe licien acknowledged how much the support from her hometown has meant to her over the years, especial- ly at the world championships last month. "I love you guys; I thank you for the embrace. Thank you for welcoming me here as world champion," she said, her voice cracking. She added quickly, "I'm more ner- vous being here than I was before the race." The Pine Ridge Secondary School grad hinted gold could be in the offing following the Olympic Games in Athens next summer. "I hope you'll be around next year for an even greater celebration," she stated to more cheers. After participating in the presenta- tion of awards to the long-time mem- bers of the recreation complex, Feli- cien was immediately deluged by an awaiting throng of media and later signed autographs for fans upstairs at the complex, celebrating its 20th annual anniversary that day. Following a private reception and buffet luncheon with dignitaries at City hall, Felicien and her family were whisked to the Pickering Town Cen- tre where more fans and accolades were waiting. Felicien's appearance at the shop- ping mall took on that of rock star proportions, as the emcee counted down the minutes to the audience awaiting word of when she would be there. And, upon her arrival, he shouted: "Perdita Felicien is in the building." Upon entering the mall's centre court area, the world champion was cheered by the huge crowd on hand, some in the chairs by the stage, many more in the balcony. Following the introductions, Feli- cien's high school track and field coach at Pine Ridge, Pam Masales, took the podium. She added her voice to those who could see greatness in Felicien in her formative years in the sport. "Am I surprised? Not so. I knew that some day she would a world- class athlete. I knew she was gifted then," says Masales, who retired sev- eral years ago from Pine Ridge. Masales recalled Felicien first com- peted for the school in Grade 10, win- ning the silver medal in the junior women's 100 metres that year. By her senior year at Pine Ridge in 1999, "her reputation was well established." That year, she won the 100-metre hur- dles event at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) provincial track and field championships in a record 13.41 sec- onds. Her former track coach and teacher said seeing Felicien win the world championship last month "brought tears of joy to my eyes." She added the world champion has captured the imagination of the Pickering commu- nity. "You are my and this community's Canadian Idol," said Masales. Mayor Arthurs made several more presentations to Felicien at the town centre, including rolling luggage with the City of Pickering logo emblazoned on the front. She was also presented a large, framed City of Pickering wall plaque. A question-and-answer period en- sued following the speeches. Many in the audience offered their congratula- tions, while still others had such hard- hitting queries as "how old are you?" She answered them all with patience and a sense of humour. After cutting a ceremonial cake, Fe- licien was surrounded by autograph hounds waiting their turn for a word and the signature of the reigning world champion. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 1, 2003 PAGE B1 P Sports &Recreation WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 HOCKEY Oshawa Civic Auditorium Box Office Info 905-728-5163 • Fri., Oct. 3 vs. Windsor 7:35 p.m. • Sun., Oct. 5 vs. Ottawa 6:35 p.m. A hero’s welcome Al Rivett/ News Advertiser photo Perdita Felicien is surrounded by a phalanx of reporters at the celebration for her at the Pickering Recreation Complex Saturday.

"We'll be watching for gold in Athens." -- Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs. "This is the worst time in my life to have laryngitis." -- Felicien, speaking at the recreation complex. "I'm enjoying every bit of it." -- Felicien's mother Cathy Moe. "There are no words to describe it; it's awesome. We appreciate the people coming out and showing their support for her. She deserves it." -- Felicien's brother-in-law Andrew Harrison. "She was always very quiet and unas- suming. She was never one to stand out. She always kept herself back. But, she was always fast. She could just run," -- Al Kershaw, her principal at Glengrove Public School. "You exemplify excellence and triumph." -- Pam Masales, Felicien's track and field coach at Pine Ridge. "She had a dream for me and she wouldn't let me give up." -- Felicien, speaking of her mother's encouragement. "NCAA competition is as intense as it gets. It prepared me for Paris. I'm ready for battle and to do great things." -- Perdita Felicien, answering a question at the Pickering Town Centre (PTC).

"Everyone is going to want to beat me. They're not going to be thinking about Gail Devers; they're going to be think- ing about Perdita Felicien," -- Felicien, talking about the challenge that awaits in Athens.

A strong Whitby team, which has played together for the past three years, opened up a quick 4-0 lead in the first period. In the last half of the contest, however, Pickering outscored its oppo- nents 2-1. This season, the Pickering petite squad is a relatively new team, with play- ers from three different teams last year coming together to form this year's ros- ter. Sarah Thomson and Maddy South- well scored for Pickering, with assists Laura Brighton, Leah Abel, Stacey Forbes and Patricia Tillaart. Goaltender Alana Raymond was very strong in net, aided by the strong defensive play of Leigha Johnston, Kelsey Fran, Tillaart and Shelaney Lloyd. Michelle Stinson and Sarah Thomp- son were cited for strong play by the team's coaches. Lightning peewees take flight at Red Wings tourney DURHAM --The Durham West Light- ning Tormina Homes peewee 'A' girls' rep hockey team beat Leaside 2-1 to capture the championship at the Willowdale Red Wings Tournament recently. Durham West fell behind quickly on an early goal by Leaside. Until the Light- ning got going, goaltender Kim Roche kept Durham West in the game. With just more than three minutes remaining in the game, Durham West tied the score at 1-1. Colleen Broaderip scored, assist- ed by Erin Cameron. With 24 seconds remaining, Broaderip passed to April Thornton, whose point shot was tipped in by Cameron for the game winner. It was the first tournament of the season for the Tormina Homes peewees, and the first championship of the year. Durham West started the event with a 5-2 win over Scarborough. Thornton scored twice, with single markers to Cameron, Lynsey Nakamura and Michelle Sabourin. Samantha Michlits, Jennifer Grant, Kirsten MacDonald, Megan Hagg and Cameron chipped in with assists. Game 2 ended in a lopsided win for the Lightning over Mississauga, 6-0. Tiffany Allen notched a natural hat trick, with singles to Hagg, Samantha Bate- man, and Broaderip. Cameron drew two assists, Stefanie Thomson, Gillian Mor- gan, Michlits, Broaderip and Allen added one apiece. Roche earned the shutout. In what was a preview of the cham- pionship game, the Lightning opened up a big lead against Leaside en route to a 4-1 victory in Game 3. Leaside controlled the game early on, but due to the spec- tacular saves by Kristie Bye, Durham West was able to build a 4-0 lead. Lea- side broke the shutout with less than a minute to go. Cameron paced the attack with two goals, Morgan and Shannon Baker added singles. Michlits, Nakamura, Bateman, Thornton, Hagg and Thomson assisted. Richard Sabourin, Doug Morgan, Chris Baker, Bruce Nakamura coach the team. The trainer is Angie Thornton. Generals finish long road trip with loss to Majors DURHAM —The Oshawa Generals finished a five-game road string on a los- ing note, falling 4-1 to the St. Michael's Majors Sunday.

The Generals home opener is set for 7:35 p.m. Friday against the Windsor Spitfires (2-2-0-1), followed by an East Division clash with the Ottawa 67's (1-3-1- 0) Sunday at 6:35 p.m. at the Civic. In Toronto Sunday, the Generals went 0-for-9 on the power play and did- n't score at all until the third period, when defenceman Paul Ranger finally cut into a 4-0 St. Mike's lead.

And, the maddening inconsistency showed up in a 4-2 loss to an older, more ex- perienced Oshawa Legionaires in OHA On- tario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League ac- tion at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night. And, it continued unabated Saturday in Thornhill against the Major Is- landers where the Panthers fell behind in a sloppy first period, but rallied the rest of the way for a 3-3 draw. The Panthers (3-2-2-0 for eight points, tied for third place in South Conference standings) played in Oshawa Tuesday in a rematch with the Legionaires at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, with the result unavail- able at press time. Winder admits his Panthers still have a long way to go in terms of putting it all to- gether on the ice at the junior 'A' level. "We're taking two steps forward and one step back. We're seeing some great little plays and then they follow it up with some not-so-great ones. It's going to take them a while to learn the pace of junior hockey. But, overall, I'm happy where we are right now," says Winder. The Panthers dug themselves a big whole right from the get-go in Saturday's game in Thornhill, as the Major Islanders connected for three goals before the game was 10 min- utes old. To their credit, the Panthers chipped away at the lead, scoring a goal in the second period and two in the final frame. Despite putting pressure on the Islanders in the five-minute extra frame, the Panthers had to settle for the single point in the standings. "We outplayed them and I think they were just hanging on at the end," says Winder. "But, we couldn't get that last goal to finish them off." In the Oshawa game, Winder says his players were simply 'outsmarted' by the Le- gionaires, which executed their game plan to perfection, while the Panthers struggled to execute theirs. "A gain, because we're a young team, we try to go in with a game plan and we didn't exe- cute it; we didn't execute well at all." Oshawa and Pickering played even through 20 minutes of play, tied at 2-2. The Legionaires scored the game-winning goal on the power play in the second period and added an insurance marker midway through the final stanza. If there is one aspect of the Panthers that has been consistently fine, it is the play of the forward line of Kyle Robinson, Andrew Dissanayake and Craig Johnston. Winder admits he wasn't counting on them for much offence, but the threesome has played well, and has scored some key goals in the early going. "They weren't slated to be our top-scoring line, but now they're our big line and it's nice to see. They've really gelled as a unit," says Winder. He also heaped praise on defenceman and team captain Bryan Hampton who has been a rock on the blue line so far this season. "He has been playing outstanding hockey," he says. Jeremy Whelan and Danny Sullivan scored the Pickering goals against Oshawa Friday. Paul Michael Rivest, Phil McIlhone, Ryan Annesley and Dissanayake drew as- sists. Dissanayake, Richard Schofield and Kyle Robinson scored in Saturday's draw with Thornhill. Johnston had two assists, Robin- son and McIlhone added one apiece. The Panthers are on home ice at the Pick- ering Recreation Complex Friday night against the Vaughan Vipers. Game time is 7:30 p.m. PANTHERS' POSTSCRIPT:The Panthers charity car wash, which was scheduled for last Saturday, was cancelled due to in- clement weather.

Like most teams com- peting in the league, Water- maker has had its share of good and not-so-good sea- sons. Last May seemed to be the start of another promising year, the team was performing well and everyone was playing as ex- pected, although no one had any idea just how good the 2003 season was des- tined to be. In the playoffs, Water- maker ended its magical campaign on a high note. But, success didn't come without some adversity. After winning its first two playoff contests, beating Bobcaygeon's in the opener 27-14 and the Guzzlers 15- 14, Watermaker suffered its only loss of the playoffs, los- ing to the Melanie Pringles Sad Sacs 31-15. Facing elimination with a loss on Sept. 21, Water- maker reeled off three con- secutive wins to win the coveted divisional title. They opened with a 16-7 win over the Guzzlers, and then defeated the Melanie Pringles Sad Sacs twice, 22-3 and 16-8, to take the crown. The season for Water- maker was as special as it was productive. Watermak- er won its first three games before losing its fourth, dropping a 20-14 decision to Krueger Décor. And then it started. The team clicked like it had never clicked be- fore. The veteran and younger players alike start- ed hitting and playing the field like they had never done before. The team started winning again after that first loss, and kept on winning. "It didn't matter who the opposition was, the offence was amazing and the de- fence was near perfect," ex- plains pitcher Todd Young. When the regular season ended Watermaker com- piled a 15-1 record, its best ever, which clinched the 'D' division (Rebound Sports Division) championship. The two league tourna- ments (in June and Au- gust) proved to be much the same. Watermaker went all the way to the semifinal game in the June tourney only to lose to Steiners 14-11. Watermaker won the August tourna- ment, narrowly beating the same Steiners' team, 10-9. Wa termaker finished the season with the league’s best defensive record (runs against), and the second- best offence (runs scored). For Young, the year was one, long magical run. But, he admits no one's quite sure how or why it hap- pened. "The team looks back now and still wonders what caused everything to hap- pen so perfectly. Some feel it's that perfect balance of veteran players and younger stock, some say it's the support that the team members show for each other during every game, while others think it's just the skills coming together to make the team a greater thing than the sum of its parts. Hitting, infield, out- f ield and even pitching...everything worked. "Everyone is coming back next year...and look- ing forward to it." Wa t ermaker’s slow pitch season goes from fine to sublime Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Pickering Panthers’ Danny Sullivan nails Oshawa Legionaires’ Mike Griffin in junior hockey action at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday night.

E. Pickering (Rougemont Plaza) Fans of Ajax actress Fr an Stecyk get twice the pleasure this fall in two new productions BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Staff Editor AAJJAAXX —— An Ajax actress is doing double duty on the stage, starring in two productions over the next two months. Fran Stecyk, an actress-singer who has been a staple in local the- atre for several years, will star in two upcoming comedies, the first one opening at a Scarborough-based theatre this week. Stecyk is part of the cast of 'Nois- es Off' with the Scarborough The- atre Guild at the Scarborough Vil- lage Theatre. The play makes its debut Thursday night and contin- ues Oct. 18, each Thursday through Saturday evenings. The play is a classic British farce, but with an interesting twist, notes Stecyk. It's a 'play within a play' with the first act being the dress re- hearsal, the second act being the antics happening backstage and the third act being the closing of the play. "It's crazy, but it's fun," notes Ste- cyk, who has been rehearsing for the past eight weeks in the role of Belin- da Blair, one of the cast members in this madcap comedy. Written by Michael Frayn, 'Noises Off' follows Lloyd Fellows, the direc- tor, who's desperate to get his the- atre production together, despite the best efforts of the cast, crew, and lady luck. With breakneck pace and a rich gallery of characters, the play fol- lows the on- and off-stage antics of a touring company as they stumble from dress rehearsal to disastrous last night of the play. Everything that can go wrong, does, as the cast desperately try to hang on to their lines, their performances and the furniture. Stecyk notes she's happy to be working with the play's director, Mike Woodbridge, who has directed at other local theatres, including Pickering's Herongate Barn Dinner Theatre and at Class Act in Whitby. "I wanted to work with him be- cause he's so talented," says Stecyk. If that weren't enough, Stecyk's acting plate is also full with re- hearsals for an upcoming new musi- cal production, being put on by Mystery Theatre Experience at Tril- lium Trails in Raglan, north of Os- hawa. The Christmas comedy, entitled 'The Revenge of the Elves', is chalked full of fun, music and frivoli- ty. Santa, you see, wants to leave the Christmas thing behind and try his hand as a lounge singer. Stecyk plays the role of Shirley Kringle, Santa's wife. 'The Revenge of the Elves' opens at Trillium Trails on Nov. 26 and continues until Dec. 11.

We as Christians carry the five values of Jesus. We talk about them in no particular order because none is more important than the others. We talk about them together because none is sufficient for living a full life, without the others. We carry these values in imitation of God. One value is mercy. Mercy is not simply what a court of law shows when it declines to exert a strong punishment. Mercy is having to do with people who have no claim on you, as when you give aid to people on the street. Jesus said that those who are merciful will receive mercy…and every one of us needs mercy sometimes during our lives. A second value is closely related - it is compassion. The word’s root means “to walk alongside.” Compassion is a feeling deep in your gut that you are profoundly bothered by someone’s misfortune. You care enough about the other person that it bothers you. We are told not to presume to render a final judgement on anyone, as if we know completely who they are and will be. It isn’t possible to know another that thoroughly, nor for another to know you that well. “The judgment you give will be the judgement you receive,” Jesus cautions. From someone else, or from God, we wonder? Jesus doesn’t clarify - perhaps both. We are told to forgive. Period. What does that mean - forgive and forget? That may not be healthy. It may be necessary to remember that someone is willing to harm you, so that you can keep yourself from further harm. But it does mean to let go of the pain and anger and fear that can come with being hurt, so that those emotions do not have power over you. Everyone needs forgiveness, because everyone does and says things that hurt others. Jesus warned that if we don’t forgive others, God won’t forgive us. God is quite serious about this. Finally, we are to be as concerned for others as we are for ourselves, and for ourselves as we are for others (“love your neighbour as yourself”). This is far more demanding than the Golden Rule: “do unto others as you would have them do to you.” This value requires active interest in everyone and everything around you, seeking to know the effects of your actions on others and their’s on you. It is the Core Ethic of our lives. We carry these values in imitation of God. A good way to live, don’t you think? - Dunbarton Fairport United Church Dr. Gregory O. Baker, Pastor FaithWay Baptist Church – Ajax When she entered the department store, the elderly lady was startled when a band began to play. Balloons began to drop from the ceiling and a dignified executive pinned an orchid on the lady’s dress. He then handed her a crisp $100 bill! She was the store’s millionth customer. Television cameras were there and a reporter quickly stepped in front of the lady and with microphone in hand asked, “Tell me, just why did you come into the store today?” The lady was a little embarrased as she stated, “Actually, I’m on my way to the complaint department!” This scenario is often true of our present culture. We tend to complain about so many things in our daily lives. The Bible says of the children of Israel that when they complained it displeased the Lord! As we approach the Thanksgiving season in our community, we ought to stop for a moment and be grateful. In fact, instead of complaining about what we don’t get, we ought to be thankful we don’t get what we deserve! A discontented culture will breed a spirit of indifference and ingratitude. The spirit of ingratitude is a root that will someday yield destructive fruit. This can be true individually, in a family, at the work place, or wherever one resides or interacts. An old legend speaks of a king who was suffering from a painful ailment. One of his advisers told him he should find the most contented man in his kingdom and obtain his shirt. He was to wear the shirt day and night. Messengers were assembled and dispatched througout the kingdom in search of this individual. Months passed and all the messengers returned without a shirt. “Could you not find a contented man, “ asked the king? “Yes, sir, we found one, just one in your realm,” responded one of the king’s servants. “Why didn’t you bring me his shirt,” urged the king? “Master,” replied the messenger. “He wasn’t wearing a shirt!” It is not about getting more or having it easier! It is about having the attitude of gratitude.

He will bathe in an advertised tub, wash with advertised soap, shave with an advertised razor, eat a breakfast of advertised juice, cereal and toast (toasted in an advertised toaster), put on advertised clothing, and glance at his advertised watch. He will ride to work in an advertised car, sit at an advertised desk, drink an advertised coffee and write with an advertised pen. Yet this man hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising does not pay. Finally, when his unadvertised business goes under, he will advertise if for sale. ADVERTISING DOES PAY! .00
