Ms. McKeown is a clogger with Kick Up A Fuss, a Picker- ing group that travels to per- form at local fairs and festi- vals. Last weekend, Ms. McK- eown and her squad attended the Frenchman’s Bay Festival to demonstrate the art of clog- ging. Clogging is a Southern Ap- palachian dance that began years ago in barns and back porches and is similar in style to the Irish traditional dance that was the inspiration for the popular ‘Riverdance.’ Modern clogging has distinct steps, with such combinations as ‘wringing the chicken’s neck,” “stepping on a snake” and “briar patch.” Relatively new to the art , Ms. McKeown boasts that she picked it up quickly and now lists clogging as the best exer- cise program she has ever done. “It was my sister that got me into it a few years back. I love it. It is so much fun. All you need is tap shoes.” After performing an hour- long demonstration, the team, dressed all in black, set out to enjoy the festival for a little while longer before they left for Unionville, where they were scheduled to do another demonstration.

Vandals struck on the weekend, knocking down the sculpture and spraying graffiti on a building. Durham Regional Police are investigating. Progress takes step back Memorial art for dead child damaged by park vandals By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – A sculpture do- nated to the City by a resident, in memory of his son, was van- dalized Saturday night. Pickering Ward 2 City Coun- cillor Bill McLean said resi- dents living near the yet-to- be-opened Frenchman’s Bay East Progress Park saw some young people climbing the 16- foot tall piece. “It’s maddening that some- thing like this could happen before the park is open,” he said. “It shows a total disre- gard for the property.” The piece of art by K.S. Oliver, ‘Census Five’, had been donated a while ago by Irv Carr in memory of his young son who died of Batten dis- ease. After waiting for the right place to put the art, the City recently placed it in the northwest corner of the park overlooking Frenchman’s Bay. “We just put $800,000 into the park to create community pride and respect and you get some thoughtless kids who go down and destroy it,” Coun. McLean said. The thin metal sculpture, which is about half-an-inch thick, was bent over by the vandals. Coun. McLean said he hopes it is not damaged be- yond repair. It has been brought to the works department and they are going to try to strengthen it and save it. Coun. McLean said he con- tacted the police who came out to investigate Sunday. The investigation continues. In addition to the damage to the sculpture, the Progress Club building in the park was also spray painted with graffi- ti. “I just hope this isn’t the start of things to come and I hope we can nip this in the bud not just for this park but for other parks as well,” Coun. McLean said. If the sculpture is returned to the park he would like to see the City do something to try and protect it, he said, such as putting a barricade around it. Trustees having second thoughts about changes By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – The public school board’s new busing policy is on shaky ground and likely to shift. The Durham District School Board passed the poli- cy two months ago, enshrin- ing busing rights for day-care parents but taking away sur- plus seating for hundreds of others. Now trustees are hav- ing second thoughts, with one regretting a policy that “is di- viding families between schools. “I certainly, personally, be- lieve that I made a mistake,” Oshawa Trustee Michael Bar- rett said at Monday’s standing committee meeting, evoking applause from the gallery. “I don’t believe that I truly showed due diligence in un- derstanding the full ramifica- tions of this. “I erred,” he continued. “I’m not proud of my decision and will be the first to admit that I erred in my responsibilities to the community I serve.” Students in special pro- grams such as French immer- sion are guaranteed busing. However their siblings have generally been able to go to the same school if there’s an empty seat on the bus. The new policy takes away that ability, so parents have to get siblings not in the programs to school themselves if they want to keep the kids togeth- er. Pickering parent Margaret Eskins says the policy was pushed through without con- sultation. Trustees on April 19 agreed to skirt procedure and approve the policy at standing committee. “To give two months notice to parents is unfair, and now we’re being asked to hold on until a decision is made in June,” she said. She read about the policy change in the newspaper. Ms. Eskins says her child’s school principal knew nothing about it, referring her to the board transportation department. Based on incorrect informa- tion from staff, she changed Public board trustees back on school bus plan Composting program spreads out Over 1,000 city homes involved PICKERING – Residents in the city’s Amberlea neigh- bourhood are setting the trend for waste diversion. Durham Region is launch- ing this week its kitchen food waste composting program in the Pickering neighbour- hood. There are already 520 households involved in a pilot waste program and an additional 680 households in the same area are now being included in the new program. All of those households re- ceive a new green bin and in- side each locked curbside bin there is a kitchen food waste container, a waste informa- tion guide, kraft paper yard waste bags, kitchen contain- er liner bags and a rain gauge kit. The new program replaces the pilot project first imple- mented in Amberlea in No- vember 2001, which achieved waste diversion rates of bet- ter than 60 per cent. Pickering recently trans- ferred responsibility for waste collection to the Re- ✦See Board page A2✦See Pickering page A4 her child-care arrangements. Ms. Eskins called for public consul- tation and policy amendments. The latter might occur as soon as tonight (Wednesday), when trustees discuss the policy after a budget meeting. Both are public and take place at the board office in Whitby, 400 Taunton Rd. E., starting with the budget meeting at 7 p.m. and the trans- portation committee meeting at 9 p.m. Business superintendent Ed Hod- gins says a new provincial trans- portation policy, to be put in place this fall, means the board will likely receive $3.7 million less for trans- portation. At the same time, the board is trying to harmonize its bus- ing policies with the Durham Catholic board as they prepare to share services. Finally, Mr. Hodgins says surplus seating has to be manu- ally entered in the board bus routing system, creating a lot of headaches. Not all board members regretted the policy change. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler says trustees knew what they were getting into. She ob- jected when Whitby Trustee John Dolstra called for a public meeting. “This full board supported these policy changes; there’s nothing new here,” said Trustee Shetler. “I think we need to discuss these issues now.” Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford also called for a public meeting. How- ever Oshawa Trustee and meeting chairman Kathleen Hopper said time is running out on the current school year, and any changes would have to be approved at the June 21 board meeting. Education director Craig Burch said staff needs some direction on what policy changes trustees would consider. He also noted that pricier policy changes have an impact on the big picture- the upcoming budget for the next school year. “What you add in a draft budget, something needs to be dropped off,” said Mr. Burch. “Staff needs some sense of what you want to do.” Trustee Hopper says trustees will have new information at Wednes- day’s meeting.

UOIT’s first graduating class looks forward to bright future By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Nicola Frankland is the first class’s first spokesman. Fifty-six future science and math teachers graduated from the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology on Friday. The one-year, concurrent edu- cation graduates are the new university’s first alumni. “In your teaching and in your life, I urge you to be givers of your time, your coveted re- sources, but most of all, your imagination,” the Whitby- raised Ms. Frankland said in her valedictorian address. Dignitaries and guests, in- cluding Ian Clark, president and chief executive officer of the Council of Ontario Univer- sities, attended the convoca- tion in the campus’s athletic centre. He welcomed UOIT to the council, noting it was “a re- markable accomplishment” that it was graduating stu- dents so soon after being cre- ated. Also at the ceremony, Gary Polonsky was formally in- stalled as president and vice- chancellor of UOIT, and Lyn McLeod its founding chancel- lor. “Thank you for taking a risk on the new kid on the universi- ty block,” Mr. Polonsky told the graduates, later calling on them to provide foot-stomping accompaniment as he sang the UOIT song. “It’s exciting, for sure, to be a part of the first class,” Ms. Frankland said in an interview. “Universities don’t open very often. It’s nice to see a universi- ty come a little bit closer east.” The eight-month education program saw her in front of students for the first time at two placements, including Cadarackque Public School in Ajax. “You certainly learn a lot from being immersed in the classroom,” says the Anderson Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute graduate. “I think that the learning curve is steep in the beginning.” She says being a teacher seems a good way to stay young. “It’s certainly refreshing to be around kids for the day,” says Ms. Frankland, joking that after a 30-year career she’ll have to reassess. “Devel- oping a rapport with them, seeing them everyday in the classroom, there’s just some- thing special about having a group of kids come to see you every day to learn something.” She’s a McMaster University graduate and plans to move to Hamilton and begin sending out resumes to school boards west of Toronto. She hopes to become a high school science teacher and start and coach a lacrosse team. Born in western Canada, graduate Fraser Gill gets around. He grew up in New Brunswick, now calls Missis- sauga home and just returned from a canoe trip with friends on the Wanapitei River, north of Sudbury. After obtaining degrees in accounting and computer sci- ence, the 35-year-old worked with companies such as IBM. “I found myself getting more and more into the training side,” he says. With encouragement from wife Lana, he decided to go for a third degree and become a teacher. With his extensive technology background, Mr. Gill says UOIT was a natural fit. He did some of his practice teaching at J. Clarke Richard- son Collegiate in Ajax. “It was great; really good students,” says Mr. Gill. “That makes all the difference.” After the formal part of the convocation ceremony, gradu- ates, guests and staff members assembled outdoors for a re- ception. “If there’s anyone out there who’s considering UOIT as an option, spend some time look- ing into it,” Ms. Frankland ad- vises. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 9, 2004 PAGE A3 A/P rrs TM 209 Bloor St. E OSHAWA 404-6776 www.ossolighting.com MON - WED 9:30AM-6:00PM, THURS - FRI 9:30AM-8:00PM, SAT 9:30AM-5:00PM OSSO L I G H T I N G OSSO L I G H T I N G JUNE 10 - 11 - 12 THURSDAY - FRIDAY - SATURDAY O S S O L I G H T I N G O S S O L I G H T I N G OSSO L I G H T I N G 3 DAYS ONLY 3 DAYS ONLY 3 DAYS ONLY HUGE STORE WIDE SALE HUGE STORE WIDE SALE HUGE STORE WIDE SALE Shop Early For Best Selection!

The Pickering mayor and Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean were in Edmonton for the conference at the end of May to learn from other mu- nicipalities. “The opportunity to share those ideas and gain new knowledge from my peers (was valuable),” Mayor Ryan said. “We’ve both come back with a number of ideas we want to see exercised in Pickering.” He said some ideas could be easily transferred to Pickering while others would have to be tailored. The ideas included how other municipalities handle animal waste in parks, how they deal with pets in public places, and how they handle toxic waste collection. Coun. McLean said some municipalities have toxic roundup stations on specific dates so people can come to a central location and drop off items such as paint cans or motor oil bottles. “Something like that is not only going to benefit the envi- ronment, but also people,” he said. Another option could be to implement a red box for toxic waste that would be picked up once a month or every other month. Coun. McLean said he also picked up a lot of information on safe communities and property standards, which he believes could be useful if the City goes ahead with legaliz- ing basement apartments. The conference included speeches from both federal L iberal leader Paul Martin May 28 and federal NDP leader Jack Layton May 31. “Some good news that came from that is Mr. Martin has gone along with the findings of the FCM and committed part of the gas tax,” Coun. McLean said, of the prime minister’s election campaign pledge. Mr. Layton announced his party would commit half the gas tax to municipalities if elected.

As a volunteer face painter for the annual ArtFest, held last week- end, Ms. Mohr is extremely popular with children. “I have been volunteering with ArtFest for a few years now. I do it at a lot of community events and the Police Association Community Day. This is my thing - I face paint,” said Ms. Mohr. Over the years, Ms. Mohr figures she has painted thousands of chil- dren’s faces and has learned to draw every cartoon character, ac- tion hero and superstar. “A c ouple of people have asked for Pokemon this year and I haven’t had that for a couple of years.” As the line of children grows be- hind Ms. Mohr to get their faces painted, there isn’t one request that she can’t fulfill. Although she admits some pictures are harder to draw than others- such as Spider- man with all his webbing - she prides herself on being up to date with all of the new wishes of the younger generations. In the past, the most popular de- sign girls chose was the butterfly, and for boys Spiderman typically beats out all other superheroes, but this year the trend has changed. “I am expecting to do a bunch of Harry Potters today. Harry Potter is very big. Last year the big thing was Spiderman - this year I’m thinking its Harry Potter and Hermione.” Typically, Ms. Mohr’s canvass is cheeks, but sometimes kids prefer to get “tattoos” on their arms. “The face is the big thing, but it is a hot day and sleeveless is in, so tattoos might be a really good solu- tion,” said Ms. Mohr. “A lot of kids are here today getting their pic- tures taken with their soccer teams so they can’t have their face done, so maybe getting their arm done is a good solution.” C ynthia Ruhnke watched from the craft table as her daughter Alexandra climbed into the chair to get her third tattoo of the day. With both of her cheeks sporting crim- son red hearts Alexandra request- ed specific colours for a little but- terfly for her arm. “We were here two years ago,” said Mrs. Ruhnke. “It is a beautiful park and a great place for the kids. The crafts are great and the weather has cooper- ated, so we have had a really great time.” Along with being able to get their faces painted, visitors to ArtFest could also graffiti their own piece of Bristol board, create creatures with Play-Doh and choose from a variety of amusement park rides. But that was only for the kids. For the par- ents in the crowd there were more than 50 local artists on hand to show their work and give demon- strations. “The artists are wonderful,” said Mrs. Ruhnke. “For me it was great to come and see the artists, and for the kids the craft area was the best.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 9, 2004 PAGE A5 P BOLTON 857-4122 301 Queen Street South For the second year in a row Liquidation World is clearing out old inventory!

Editorial Editorials &Opinions WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Letters to the Editor Parking fines just don't belong here Call me old-fashioned, but there's just something wrong about parking tickets in a small town. My wife came home today with a ticket for parking a little too close to a fire hydrant in town. She wasn't in front of the hydrant, she real- ly wasn't anywhere near it, and she was just dashing into the ATM and back again. Ticket Lady must've been lurking in the bushes somewhere, saw a chance to make her monthly quota‚ and pounced. I'm not against tickets. In busy places where parking is at a premium and there is a neces- sity for keeping busy thorough- fares clear and moving freely, I'm all for parking tickets. Many is the time I've cussed out some ignorant, selfish S.O.B. who is blithely double- parked, and thereby bringing my drive home to a crawl. I'd love to see a green hornet nail his butt. But we live in a very small town. We do not yet number 1,000. There are Amish commu- nities that have more road rage than we encounter. One of the wonderful and unlooked-for sur- prises that my wife and I discov- ered upon moving here from the city some 12 years ago was that you could park just about any- where for free. I have free park- ing space around my own home than you could find in the GTA. As a commuter who was sub- jected on a daily basis to the highway robbery of parking downtown, I was in heaven when I moved here. I used to park my car in several different places during the course of a day, just because I could. "Look honey‚" I'd gaily squeal to my wife, "I've been parked in front of the hardware store all morning and it didn't cost me a red cent! Is this great or what?" And it is great. It's a very little thing, but the absence of park- ing tickets and the nosy govern- mental interference that they represent are (or were) part and parcel of the independent, pio- neering spirit small-towners enjoy. Those of us who weren't lucky enough to be born in this beautiful community came here to escape all those citified ways. The honour system works very well in small towns. Yep, that's Charlie's truck in front of the hy- drant, but he's just lettin' his dog have a pee, he'll be gone in a minute or two. Sure, Clyde's in the handicapped spot, but he's just ribbin' the Scranton boy about his prize calf. He won't be but a second, 'sides, some folks think Clyde is handicapped. You see, small town people don't mind. Small town people can wait for their turn to park ille- gally. No one gets mad either. Believe me, in a town of under 1,000 bodies, you pretty much know who owns the vehicle that's blocked you in, and you know they'll be right out as soon as they get their shotgun shells. No biggie. So, when you do get a ticket in a small town, it smarts. It hurts the pocketbook sure, but what really aches is your sense of fair play. Ticket Lady, I have noticed, does not live in my town. I think that pretty much says it all. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. Neil Crone e n t e r l a u g h i n g The ticket lady pounces Holland's still giving full-time effort To the editor: Re: 'Holland should reconsid- er,' editorial, June 4. How can a leave of absence be "the only fair thing for the pub- lic?" It is ridiculous to write that be- cause the man has cut back his hours from 60 to 40 per week, his council pay should be cut back. If Mark Holland was working less than 40 hours per week on coun- cil duties, your argument would make sense. But most people consider 40 hours per week full time. As far as the effectiveness of council, I believe the city gains more with him there than with- out. So let him earn his salary. That's fair for everyone. Perhaps the editors should re- consider. Peter Forint, Pickering What's good for Holland should be good for us To the editor: Re: 'Holland should reconsid- er,' editorial, June 4. Below is a copy of a letter I sent to my employer last week. Dear Boss, I would like to inform you that I have decided to cut my work- week by one third but still get paid a full salary. The reason is I really do not want the job that was given to me in good faith last year is because hopefully I will get a much more lucrative one at the end of June. The problem is there is a good chance I may not get the new job so I must keep my options open otherwise I will be out of work. Therefore even though you are paying me the same for working less hours, you must understand there is a chance I may be back and of course you do understand I am irreplaceable. Hopefully you will be in full agreement with my course of ac- tion and understand I may have to skip a few important meetings, etc. Incidentally there is a prece- dent for the above, as I am sure you are aware that the federal Liberal election candidate for Ajax-Pickering Riding is doing the same thing. Surely us 'John Does' have the same rights as politicians, don't we? My boss's reply unfortunately is unprintable - and if anyone out there is looking to hire, give me a call. John Haste Ajax Remember Holland's pay raise when you vote To the editor: It's interesting that Pickering Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land, federal Liberal candidate for Ajax-Pickering, didn't want to spend tax dollars on an adequate telephone system for the new re- gional headquarters. Too bad he wasn't as careful with our money when it came to the huge region- al councillor pay raises. But then that money was headed into his own pocket. Coun. Holland said he sup- ported the raises because he wanted to be treated like any other regional employee. Is a councillor an employee or an em- ployer? When asked why he didn't fol- low the lead of MPPs in declining scheduled raises, Coun. Holland said the Province was in a deficit situation, while the Region of Durham was not. He did not re- spond to the fact that the Region cannot, by law, have a deficit and that taxes would have to be raised to support the raises. The elimination of the one- third tax-free allowance of pay further showed Coun. Holland's lack of respect for the taxpayer. He voted for it, because, he said, it had been asked for for several years. He ignored the fact that Durham taxpayers would have to pay the extra amount of the equalization. Councillors also get six per cent of their remuneration in lieu of a pension plan. Many of us said we would re- member the raises come the next election. For Coun. Holland, the next election is June 28. Remem- ber him, and tell him, with your vote, what you think of the re- gional pay raises. David Bergson, Ajax OMB reform step in right direction Local control of development necessary to avoid problems Those who've long felt the Ontario Municipal Board has far too much say on development decisions in Ontario, may have a champion in the Ontario Lib- erals. Durham Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, who last year led a GTA taskforce to probe the board's policies and practices, has pointed to the fact that OMB decisions overruling local elected officials have caused problems in Durham - including the Village of Brooklin. Mr. Anderson said that, while the development is beautiful, it "hop- scotched development" and has cost the Region a lot of money as a result. In its present incarnation, the OMB, whose member- ship is comprised of private citizens who have been ap- pointed by the Province, has the authority to overrule vir- tually any local development decision made by a munici- pal or regional council. That being the case, residents who take on aggressive developers in their communities are often left to wonder why they should bother voicing their concerns to local government at all. Not surprisingly, the power of the OMB to deliver final rulings on contentious development issues, upsets mu- nicipal politicians. The Province has promised OMB reform and Durham politicians want to see a plan put in place that provides that, only major planning matters involving issues of provincial policy and approval of official plans may be re- ferred to the OMB. The move would leave everyday planning issues to mu- nicipal and regional councils. This way, in major cases, OMB appeals could, and should, continue to occur, which would be in keeping with the board's original purpose -to offer a route of appeal for citizens and developers who feel they haven't been treated fairly at the municipal or re- gional government level. When the system works, everyone benefits. A provincial review might freshen up the mandate of the OMB. Council also wants to see the Planning Act and On- tario Municipal Board Act get another look by the Province. Such an exercise should put planning and de- velopment power largely back in the hands of locally elect- ed officials, not provincially appointed commissioners. The Province will seek public input on the matter dur- ing a Pickering meeting to be held June 24 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Dunbarton High School, 655 Sheppard Ave. It's in every citizen's interest to attend and let Ontario know that the OMB cannot be allowed to continue to ig- nore the wants and needs of this community.

See page B2 Luttmer sets sail for Athens Games Pickering Olympian figures there's something good in the waters of Frenchman's Bay By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —For eight years Bernard Luttmer has been sailing to- ward a dream -- to represent Canada at the Olympics. Now, his dream has become reality. The 24-year-old Pickering native will be the lone Canadian representa- tive in laser sailing at the 2004 Sum- mer Olympic Games in Athens. He couldn't be happier, considering he was close, but came up just short of the mark in qualifying for the 2000 Olympics Games in Sydney, Aus- tralia. "Absolutely, I'm very excited, it's a pretty awesome feeling," says Luttmer at his south Pickering home during a brief respite from the water. "That's because in the 2000 trials I was third and narrowly missed going to Sydney. I've been thinking about (qualifying) for eight years and it finally hap- pened." Luttmer's Olympic dream took shape in Bodrum, Turkey at last month's World Laser Sailing Champi- onships. The race also served as the Canadian Olympic qualifier. Luttmer ended up finishing 41st overall but, most important, he beat out Canadi- an rival Andrew Childs, of Nova Sco- tia, for the Olympic berth. Earning the spot was no small feat, as Luttmer's early races went badly, with Child in front of him in the standings at the midway point of the event. Luttmer, however, rebounded in the later races. "I was favoured, so there was a lot of pressure on me. The event started out badly, I got some bad breaks, and he started well. He had a lead on me halfway through the event, so I had to keep my cool and fight back," he says. In fact, Luttmer says the world championships represented the toughest week of his life. "It was extra stressful. I've been training for eight years to get to the Olympics and it came down to one event. You're very dependent on the weather and the wind. I had to do everything I had control of and hope it was enough and this time it was." The longtime member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club in Toronto and the Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club in Pickering will continue training and competing right up to the start of the Athens Olympics in August. On Sunday, he's headed to Con- necticut for the North American Laser Sailing Championships. Luttmer is a three-time North Ameri- can champion and would dearly love to add a fourth title to his resume -- something no other sailor has accom- plished in the history of the event. "That's been my goal for a long time — to win the trophy more than any- one else," he says. In early July, Luttmer travels with the Canadian Yachting Association to Athens, Greece where he will train for two weeks at the site of the Olympic sailing events. During the third week of July, he'll move on to Warmunder, Germany where he'll join all the top sailors in the world at the European Sailing Championships. "That will be a good test. It will be a chance to fine-tune my skills and keep them sharp," says Luttmer. He fully acknowledges that he'll be upholding a strong sailing tradition for Pickering at the upcoming Olympics. Rod Davies represented the city in the same laser class at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. "There must be something special in the waters of Frenchman's Bay. Some very good sailors have come from here. The laser class has been part of the Olympics since Atlanta and, of the past three quadrennial, two times Frenchman's Bay sailors have represented our nation. It's no small coincidence, that's for sure," says Luttmer. Luttmer credits his early years in the sport, especially his training at Swan's Marina and the Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club in his youth, as the grounding that kept him firmly an- chored to sailing. "Frenchman's Bay is a great place to learn how to sail. I'm really sur- prised that there aren't more people out on it," he says. Luttmer raced internationally at age 14, earning a Canadian youth title in 1997. That year at the World Youth Sailing Championships, he finished with a silver medal. As for his Olympics experience, there is one goal. "I see myself winning gold — that's the only way to go. I'm not a favourite to win gold, but I have a shot and I'm going to do everything in my power to bring it home." Luttmer, who's ranked among the top 15 laser sailors on the planet, says his chief competition will come from Brazil's Robert Scheidt, who cap- tured his seventh world champi- onship in Bodrum. He won the gold medal in 1996 in Atlanta and was the silver medallist in Sydney. Scheidt's the definite favourite, but he's not invincible, says Luttmer. At an Olympic test event in 2002, Luttmer finished eighth overall, with Scheidt ending up 11th. "I'm at a level that I can compete with the world's best, so I'm going there to win." NOTES: Luttmer typically spends the winter months in warmer cli- mates in order to continue training. His winter training has taken him to such locales as the Dominican Re- public, Miami, Brazil and Athens... He completed his degree in mechanical engineering from Queen's University in Kingston last April. Since that time, he's been training full time for the Olympics... Luttmer was a silver medallist in laser sailing at the 2003 Pan Am Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic...

High school students test the waters Cricket match makes local history By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The genteel game of cricket and local high school sports have never been associated — until now. Pickering High School, in Ajax, and Pine Ridge Secondary School, in Pickering, are in the process of mak- ing local sports history by playing a game of high school cricket. The test match, played at the Ajax Cricket Club, started Monday and concludes today (Wednesday). And, if Jason McKenzie has any- thing to say about it, the sport will be- come a permanent part of the local high school sporting landscape. "That's going to be logically the next step," says McKenzie, a supply teacher in Durham Region, who coaches basketball at Pine Ridge. "You just need two teams to have a Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) sport sanctioned and recognized." A graduate of Pickering High School, McKenzie served as a liaison between the two sides to get the crick- et match on the field, saying the idea was hatched six weeks ago after he read a story on youths playing cricket in Toronto. "I wondered why the city of Toronto has a city-wide championship and we don't have any teams out here," he says. "I talked to people at Pine Ridge and they've had a team for the past two or three years. It was like a club, but there was no formal opposition. Pickering High School has the same kind of demographics as Pine Ridge, so I wanted to see (if a game) could happen. Pickering High School has a Muslim Student Association, which has been playing cricket for the past year or so. I talked to people at Pick- ering High and Pine Ridge and float- ed the idea (of a game)." At Pickering High, interest was high, with 45 students attending an organizing meeting. "It snowballed into something we couldn't have foreseen in such a rela- tively short period of time," he says, adding Pickering High has 25 players on its team; Pine Ridge has 18 or 19. McKenzie says he's not surprised by the strong interest in a match be- tween the schools and the eventual formation of a league. Multicultural- ism in Pickering and Ajax has grown to the point where changes are need- ed in what sports are offered at the schools. "Definitely, a lot has changed since I was at Pickering (High) in 1986. The sports that are offered have to change and we have to see if cricket can be put in the phys-ed curriculum. At one time, there was square dancing at Pickering High as it was considered a rural school up until 1990. Schools need to get with the times. We should be offering sports that are culturally responsive to the school population," he says. McKenzie noted Pickering High principal Al Monks has been a strong proponent of introducing cricket as a LOSSA sport, and has been actively speaking with other Durham educa- tors to gather support. "That is the goal, because all of this has taken place within the past six weeks — going from nothing to a test match between two schools," he says. "It's just the beginning."

Second-best effort from Felicien PICKERING —Pickering Olympian and two-time world champion hurdler Perdita Felicien continued her preparation last weekend for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Felicien competed at the Seville Grand Prix in Spain on Saturday, finishing second in the 100-metre hurdles in a time of 12.73 seconds. Delloreen Ennis-London of Jamaica won in 12.68 seconds. Last month, Felicien compet- ed at the presti- gious Home Depot Invitational meet in Carson, California where she finished fourth in a time of 12.70 seconds. Rival Gail Devers finished second. The leadup to Athens contin- ues for Felicien who will compete in several more European meets, including the Golden Spike in Ostrava, Czech Republic on Tuesday. The result was unavailable at press time. Next month, she competes at the Canadian Track and Field Championships and Olympic trials in Victoria from July 9 to 11. Spartans cage the Bengals for tourney title AJAX —The Ajax Spartans BMI pee- wee rep baseball team tamed the Missis- sauga Bengals to claim its first trophy of the season, last weekend at the Vaughan Tournament. Playing in the consolation champi- onship game against the heavily favoured Bengals, the Spartans exploded for seven runs early in the game, with strong pitch- ing and defence carrying Ajax the rest of the way to an 8-4 victory. In the semifinal, the Spartans met a strong Mississauga Majors team. Both teams engaged in a gem of a game, cruis- ing along to a scoreless tie after five. In the sixth inning, however, the Majors scored four runs to chalk up a hard- fought 4-0 win, sending Ajax to the conso- lation final. The Spartans demolished the home- town Vaughan I team 13-2 in the quarter- final game to advance to the final four. The Ajax boys doubled the score on the Vaughan II squad 8-4 to start the tour- nament. In Game 2, the Spartans thumped Etobicoke 15-5 with great hitting and pitching leading the way. The Ajax peewees started out strongly, leading a tough Mississauga Majors team 4-0 in the early going. Mississauga, however, re- bounded to score 10 runs to post a 10-5 win in Game 3. In the next several weeks the Ajax boys are looking at showing well at the Burlington and Mississauga tournaments. Af ter 18 games so far this season, the Ajax peewees have lost only five con- tests. Team members are Jake Olynyk, George Halim, Raihaan Patel, TJ Mckinlay, Todd Blair, Wayne Feltham, Jaymee Young, Brandon Kushner, Kyle Taylor, Andrew Wa r d, Jeffrey Whittle and Thomas Fearon. Powerful Tigers too much for Pickering PICKERING —The Pickering Power under-11 girls' rep soccer team dazzled its opposition last weekend to advance to the championship game of the Grimsby 'Dazzling Dozen' Tournament. The finals matched Pickering against a strong Burlington Tigers team, with a late Power comeback falling short in a 2-1 defeat. Burlington jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first half. Pickering regrouped and came out battling hard in the second, getting a goal back. The Power continued to press and attack, but were unable to solve the Burlington goalkeeper. The Tigers selected Pickering defend- er Nicole 'Niki' Mayers as the champi- onship game's most valuable player. Pickering was pitted in the semifinal against Saltfleet, a team determined to exact some revenge for the 3-0 beating by the Power earlier in the tourney. Pick- ering defeated Saltfleet 2-0 to advance to the championship game. The Power started the tournament by winning their first two games. Pickering blanked Saltfleet 3-0 in Game 1. Next, Pickering outlasted a tough Oakville squad 2-1, playing a strong second half. Based on its two preliminary-round wins, Pickering earned a bye into the semifinals. Other Pickering Power team mem- bers are Taylor Warrington, Katrina Jegg, Connie Cancellara, Kelly Bishop, Haley Henderson, Dana Murphy, Bianca Munch, Annalisa Iacobucci, Katherine Mitchell, Sarah Diosi, Madison Marmina, Ashley Tait and Linzee Exner. Frank Mitchell, Ted Warrington and Dorne Munch coach the team. The man- ager is Nina Cancellara. Sports Briefs JUNE 9, 2004 PERDITA FELICIEN Second in Spain. Pickering High athlete shakes off injury to win provincial title By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM —An injury wasn't enough to keep a Pickering High School track athlete from an ap- pointment with gold at the provin- cial track and field championships in Toronto last weekend. Trojans track team captain Ryan Finn, despite still feeling the pain from a heel injury suffered in the final of the open men's 2,000-metre steeplechase, was able to compete - and win - the gold in the senior men's 800m at the Ontario Federa- tion of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships at Etobi- coke's Centennial Stadium. The injury, says Finn, occurred when he landed awkwardly while entering a water pit in the steeple- chase. After the race, it was discov- ered he had suffered a contact bruise. Despite the injury, he still man- aged to finish fifth in that event. "I was really happy with it. It would have been nice to place high- er," he says. Finn says his heel was heavily taped prior to heading out on the track for the 800m final Saturday. He noted he had a severe case of the jitters prior to the race due to the injury. "I was frightened. I really wanted to win, but I didn't want to do any damage," says the 17-year-old Grade 11 student, who had won OFSAA gold in the event in the midget and junior categories. The taping of his heel helped, but only to a point. "It kind of hurt. I just gritted my teeth and kept running," he says. Over the first 400 metres Finn was part of the lead pack. But, as race leader Paul Walker started to sprint away, Finn decided to jump out and go with him. It wasn't until the final 100 metres that Finn took the lead, holding on for the win in a time of 1:54.93. He missed his per- sonal best by .3 of a second. His injured heel, however, forced Finn to bow out of Pickering's High's 4x400m relay team. The foursome was disqualified in the final. Finn wasn't the only gold medal- list for Ajax and Pickering track and field athletes at OFSAA. Hurdler Anthony Lue, also of Pickering High, continued his solid season after coming back from in- jury a year ago. He won the gold medal in the junior men's 100m hur- dles in 14.35 seconds, following up his gold-medal performances at the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championships and the OFSAA Central Regionals, where he won in 13.98. The 15-year-old also competed in the junior men's 300m hurdles where he finished eighth. Other top results among local athletes were: • Nikkita Holder, Dunbarton High School, silver in the senior women's 100m hurdles in 13.77 seconds. She also f inished sixth in the senior women's 200m; • Amber Cushnie, Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School, bronze in the junior women's 3,000m in 10:15.44. Cushnie was also fifth in the open women's 1,500m steeplechase; • Charles Forbes, St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, bronze in midget men's 100m in 11.65 seconds; • Pickering High's 4x100m senior men's relay team of Ryan Gordon, Matthew Lawrence, Stephen Lopez and Aaron Bramwell-Cole won a bronze medal; • Sommer Blackman, Pickering High, fourth in the senior women's triple jump, with a leap of 10.97 metres; • Coujoe Johnson, Dunbarton, fourth in the junior men's triple jump, with a leap of 13.39 metres. • Stephen Lopez, Pickering High, fourth in senior men's long jump, with a leap of 6.88 metres; • Michael Anderson, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, fourth in the junior men's 3,000m in 9:05.93; • Evan Tsiopoulos, Pickering High, fourth in midget men's 800m in 2:02.30; and • Jessica Nasmith, Pickering High, fourth in junior women's 300m hurdles in 45.64 seconds.

The event, which saw hundreds of young singers audition at local high schools, ends with the selection of a winner Sunday, June 13 at 7 p.m. at the Italian Recreation Club, 245 Sim- coe St. S., Oshawa. The 19 finalists, who have complet- ed a compilation CD, are ready for the last competition in D2R, a pilot project designed by producers Tony Tosti and Barry Hall, co-founders of Centre for Music and Sound Design in Oshawa. The finalists are competing for a produced, personal demo CD. They are Diana Aldridge, Dave Es- peut and Hayley Preziosi from O'Neill Collegiate in Oshawa, Steph Lam, Nashelle Ouellette and Nicole Williams from Donevan Collegiate in Oshawa, Kyoko Fujimura, Dustin LaFreniere and Ashley Wind from Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa, Kiara Stewart from Anderson Colle- g iate in Whitby, Anne O'Connor, Sonia Plusa and Chantal Prymka from Father Leo J. Austin in Whitby, Tasha Allamby, Alysha Harris and Jace Prohaska from Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School in Pickering, and Vanessa Corpuz, Danica Kotsopou- los and Hagop Porpossian from St. Mary's Catholic Secondary School in Pickering. Porpossian has high hopes for Sunday's selection showcase. He says everyone will be performing a song, with his offering a rendition of N'Sync's 'It's Gonna Be Me.' "There's a lot of really talented people in the show," says the Picker- ing resident. "Everybody who's made it this far is really talented." He explains that they each sang two songs for the demo and along with the N'Sync song, he sang a bal- lad, the Backstreet Boys' 'Show Me the Meaning.' He chose those songs from a karaoke CD he found. "I felt comfortable singing those songs especially," he says. His musical taste ranges from pop to rhythm and blues and he also en- joys the music of Usher. He's humble about his talents, though. He has no formal vocal training and not a lot of experience outside of school musicals. "Everybody seems to like (my music) though," he says. Prohaska will sing James Brown's 'I feel Good' Sunday for the show- case. The song appeals to her be- cause it's fast paced and she can dance. She has been in vocal class for five years and recently played Maril- la in Pine Ridge's recent musical, Anne of Green Gables. She says the Dreams to Reality contest and Sunday's show are good experiences towards building a ca- reer in singing, performing live under pressure, which is what counts for her. "I want to be a singer," she says. "So this is a stepping stone, win or lose." Tosti and Hall set up the contest to provide young people with a chance to perform and showcase their talents in a professional, com- petitive and fun environment, some- thing that's been lacking in Durham Region, they say. The competition isn't designed to make stars out of anyone but to give young musicians an idea of what's involved and whether they want to go any further in the industry. The two men approached local high schools and pitched their pro- gram, which was picked up by sever- al schools. They hope more will take part next year. To hear the finalists compete, tick- ets are available at the Centre of Music and Sound Design in the McL aughlin Square, 50 Richmond St. E., Oshawa, or by calling the cen- tre at 905-571-7898. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 9, 2004 PAGE B3 A/P SPECIALSALE Carriers of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

I wish she could be here with us, but she didn't have a choice. Not always did we talk alot, sometimes we fought like fools. I might just have to say she was as stubborn as a mule. But love each other that we did, to the end we would defend. Because not only was Soozee my sister, she also was my best friend. Sadly missed but happy the pain has ended. Forever in our hearts Penny & Dave, Nieces Carly and Maddy JONES, William (Bill) Bill was born on May 25th, 1915 in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England and passed on June 6th, 2004, at the Sunnybrook Medical Centre, in his 90th year. Bill is prede- ceased by his wife of 52 years Lily. He is survived by his son David and his wife Jean (of England) and Margaret and her husband Robin Barnes (of Eng- land), Ann and her husband Joseph Comerford (of Smith Falls), and twins Judy and husband Corry, and Janice and her partner Philip (of Tsawwessen, B.C.). He will be missed by his thirteeen Grandchil- dren and seven Great Grandchildren. Bill was edu- cated at Sir William Turner's School, Redcar and Cambridge University, England. Bill started as a re- search engineer in 1936, being engaged in the de- sign of television receivers and transmitters. In early 1937 he became involved in the design and devel- opment of Radar (RDF) systems and continued through WWII developing many systems some of which were vital to the success of the Battle of Brit- ain. Starting as a junior engineer with Pye Ltd., he eventually became chief engineer of Pye Telecom- munications Ltd. He emigrated to Canada in 1950 to manage Pye Canada, the first industry in Ajax, Ontario. In 1951 he became a "Dollar a Year" man for C.D. Howe in the Department of Defense Pro- duction (DDP) as head of Radar production during the Korean War and the Cold War. Bill was a radar pioneer and could tell many stories about the devel- opment of radar. During his business life in Cana- da, he was Chairman of the Ajax Industrial Associa- tion, Chairman of the Ajax Industrial Commission, Rotarian, President Transonic Limited, Vice Presi- dent and GM of Pye Canada Ltd., Vice President of Canastel Ltd., Vice President CJCH Halifax N.S., Director CHAN TV Vancouver, Founder and CEO of CHOO Radio Ajax, Chairman Electronic Division RETMA, Broadcast Consultant. Bill retired at the age of 65, but went on as an engineering consultant for AEG Telefunken Bayly, where he managed the broadcast division for 10 years. Bill was a member of the Half Century Club of the Canadian Associa- tion of Broadcasters. As per Bill’s wishes a Cele- bration of his and his wife Lily’s lives will be held at a later date. If desired, donations made in Bill’s memory to Rideau Lakes Home and Community Support Services, 4 George Street South, Smith Falls, Ontario K7A 1X4 would be appreciated.

The Grade 11 student won a bronze medal for her baking skills at the Canadian Skills Competi- tion, held in Winnipeg from May 27 to 30. She and the other competi- tors had 12 hours stretched over two days to come up with all the finished products. "I had to make flan, a loaf of bread, rolls, three kinds of cookies and decorate a cake," said the Pine Ridge Secondary student. Jessica travelled to Winnipeg with her aunt and sister for the two-day competition, adding, "It was a really good experience." She hopes to attend next year as well. To make it to nationals, Jessica placed first in the Ontario compe- tition. She's considering a career in baking.
