The group has been formed to look at other options for handling the gar- bage that is left over from recycling, particularly if it’s possible to harbour resourceful material such as energy during the process. In a report to the task force, Ms. Ja- nuszkiewicz said it will cost more than $4.8 million just to do the studies and required environmental assessments around an alternative waste solution. And that does not include the cost of actually building the facility. On top of that, the estimates will probably grow by 30 per cent as the project goes along, said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. It will take until at least 2008 for any discussions to start with a builder, the report said. Mr. Anderson estimated a new facility would not be built until at least 2012, and even that could be ambitious because of the approvals needed from the provincial govern- ment. “If you go past 2008, you have a new minister of the environment...and a new government, potentially,” he said. “Then you have to start over again.” [ Briefly ] Eyes on the sky are need- ed : All eyes are on the sky this Oc- tober as the launch of a bird watch program gets underway.

Durham Regional Police Detective Adam Kelly said he and his partner, Det. Craig Hudson, were parked across Kingston Road from the Daisy Mart at about 11 p.m. May 21, 2003, when they saw three suspects rush through the front door of the store. As many as 50 officers had fanned out across the region that night in re- sponse to a rash of convenience store robberies, Det. Kelly said during the trial of Christopher Junior Brown, 21, of Ajax. Mr. Brown faces 13 charges, Danielle Milley/ News Advertiser photo MP Mark Holland takes his seat in the House of Commons. Mr. Holland’s win in the Ajax-Pickering riding was the realization of a childhood dream. Aj ax-Pickering MP living his dream on Parliament Hill Mark Holland getting used to new life in Ottawa By Danielle Milley Staff Writer OTTAWA – The night Mark Hol- land won the Liberal nomination was the beginning of the realization of his childhood dream. That would explain why he was so overcome with emotion he was at a loss for words - a rare event for the for- mer municipal councillor as anyone who knows him could tell you. “It’s something I had wanted to do since Grade 4. For whatever reason it has always been in my blood,” he said. “I love politics, I love issues, I love Can- ada. It was a job that was my dream profession for a very long time.” For the man who volunteered for his first political campaign at the young age of 12, the opening of the 38th ses- sion of Parliament - his first as the MP for Ajax-Pickering - has been a period of mixed emotions. That week was the first time he was in Ottawa for a prolonged period of time and away from his family, but at the same time it is something he has wanted for years. “There are two sides to it. The one side is the quiet, when you get to the hotel room and it is quiet and you have time to think and to miss your family,” he said. “Then there is the side that is like now, where everything is just a whirlwind. There is an overwhelming sense of awe. When you walk through the halls you get the sense of tradition and the sense of what’s been done before and of the people who have walked those halls before and you get to sit in the Commons. It’s a really re- markable and honoured experience.” ✦ See New, Page 8 Cost is too high for waste options Cops on stakeout watched robbery unfold ✦ See Accused, Page 2 See Three page 8 Hall boasted ge t ting guns ‘no problem’ Taped phone call played at murder trial By Jeff Mitchell Staff Writer DURHAM – Sean Hall confidently assured a friend he’d be able to supply him with the handgun he needed to deal with a troublesome relative, tapes played at his first-degree murder trial reveal. During the phone call, intercepted by police in the summer of 2001 before Mr. Hall was charged with murder, Mr. Hall tells his friend there would be no problem rustling up a gun within days. But in a Whitby courtroom this week, Mr. Hall, 29, said he was just “bigging up” — bragging — to im- press his friend, named Gerald, with the connections he’d made with two undercover Durham police officers he believed at the time were high-placed gangsters. “I wasn’t trafficking guns,” Mr. Hall said under questioning by prosecutor Paul Murray. “I said yes. But I never asked (the undercover officers).” In the tape played this week, Mr. Hall takes a call from his friend Ger- ald, who says he’s having trouble with an upstart cousin who has become threatening. “I’m gonna buy a gun and if he comes around, I’m gonna shoot him right in the face,” Gerald says on the tape. “Hey, can you get hold of any gats (guns)?” Gerald asks. ✦ See Police, Page 5 Program aims to open eyes of teens to dangers while driving By Keith Gilligan Staff Writer DURHAM – High school students had their eyes opened last week. Accident Awareness ‘04 at the Pickering Markets offered high schoolers from across Durham Region an insight into the need for safety when behind the wheel. The public education program was sup- ported by the Durham Re- gional Police and other emer- gency services providers. On Thursday morning, Grade 12 students from J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax and Grade 9 to 11 stu- dents from Anderson Colle- giate in Whitby took in the presentation. “I think it’s great,” said Tyrone Sanders, a Grade 10 student at Anderson. “Not ev- eryone will think this stuff can happen to them, but it does.” He noted a traffic accident can happen “so quick. It’s like a shock.” Tyrone is hoping to start driving next year. “I hope I can drive with safe people.” Alex Dobrolioubova, from J. Clarke, said the program is “pretty interesting. It’s a little scary. Usually, you don’t see cars in accidents.” Durham police had a Pow- erPoint presentation on the importance of safe driving, obeying traffic laws, wearing seatbelts and not drinking and driving. Some of the video “images of being in the car were scary,” said Alex, who was starting driving school on the week- end. Kelly Batten, also from J. Clarke, said the event was “really awesome. The Power- Point really gives you an idea of what happens and how fast. It’s scary. It makes you really conscious of what could hap- pen and what has happened. It shows you what could hap- pen without a seatbelt.” Asked if the program will have any affect on students, she said, “I hope so. It defi- nitely had an effect on me.” J. Clarke’s Felicia Ogunniya- Clyke stated the program left a strong impression. “Some of the things they’re showing are horrifying,” she said, adding seeing the cars in accidents is “an eye-opener.” Josh Hindle and Cameron Duggan are both in Grade 9 at Anderson. Josh believes seeing the effects of accidents will influence participants. “Yeah, when you have cars from some accidents,” he said, adding he won’t be doing anything dangerous when he starts driving. “I’m just smart. I know.” Cameron also believes the images and displays will im- pact behaviour. “Yeah, Showing them all the accidents that can happen and what happens if you don’t have a seat-belt on,” he said. Louise Bedford, from J. Clarke, drives and has her own car. She thought the event “is smart for people who don’t have a licence yet. It will keep them cautious. People who are young don’t have the money for tickets.” As for what affect it will have, Louise said, “I think for the smart people it will have an effect. Others have to get into an accident to change them.” Durham Regional Police Sergeant Jeff Moore said 100 students were going through the displays at a time. “We’re hoping for thou- sands on the weekend.” He noted one of the drivers of a school bus came back on Thursday to see the exhibits. Among the other exhibitors were the Ajax-Pickering Road Watch Program, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Picker- ing Fire Department, Moth- ers Against Drunk Drivers, Durham Emergency Services paramedics, and the Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving.

DEER CREEK GOLF & DEER CREEK GOLF & BANQUET FACILITYBANQUET FACILITY Driving safety makes impact on Ajax and Pickering teens Q: How would you solve the con- cerns of the residents regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: I strongly disagree with the Dur- ham Emergency Measures Office’s rec- ommended solution to meet the 15- minute notification requirement of the Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan. This is a low-tech and visually obtru- sive proposal. With today’s technology, effective yet inconspicuous all-weather speaker-broadcast systems affixed to existing neighbourhood lamp stan- dards must be available. More units may be required, but this is preferable to the visual blight caused by the pro- posed system. Also, instead of installing a “black box alarm” in each home to be maintained by the householder or business, the existing emergency phone call-up system should be upgraded. Q: What is the single most impor- tant issue facing Ward 2? A: Ward 2 residents are extremely concerned about neighbourhood street safety. Transient drivers cutting through neighbourhoods, speeding in residen- tial and school areas, and insufficient parking, all contribute to widespread frustration. I recommend high-volume traffic area stud- ies be reassessed and ‘calming solutions’ intro- duced. These would in- clude ‘no-access’ signage at various times of the day, speed bumps, additional traffic lights and stop signs, and fixed photo radar. Increased public transit and a pedestrian walkway over Hwy. 401 will also reduce traffic. Overnight street parking policies will be reviewed and underused public parking in the Alexander Robertson Park area will be better advertised for waterfront trail ac- cess. Q: Why should Ward 2 residents vote for you? A: The residents of Ward 2 should vote for me because I have the demonstrated ability to build bridges throughout the community among diverse groups and I am committed to making our city a bet- ter community to live, work and raise a family. My longtime career in parks and recreation has equipped me with the knowledge and experience of working within the municipal government sys- tem to effectively get things done. My years of volunteerism have given me a perspective and understanding of com- munity issues and the zeal to become more involved. I am honest, hard-work- ing and able to commit myself full-time to serving my constituents. P PA GE 4 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆OCTOBER 13, 2004 How should Canada manage its used nuclear fuel in the future?

Local news at infodurhamregion.comJ Q: How would you solve residents’ concerns regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: The nuclear alerting system is necessary for the survival of Pickering residents. I believe the survival tech- niques offered by the plan are sound and effective. I do, however, believe that if time prevails there should be transporta- tion available upon emergency situa- tions that can transport people out of the danger zone as soon as possible. Schools should have a contract with all available buses and transportation within the zone at the emergency time to evict people as soon as possible. There should be a route available for GO buses and school transportation vehicles that would be notified and dispatched to their destination in case of an emergency. Q: What is the single most impor- tant issue facing Ward 2? A: I believe the most fundamental issue in this byelection is to do some- thing about the increases in municipal property taxes that have been continu- ally rising without proper representa- tion of services offered. We residents of Wa rd 2 are receiving increases to our property taxes yet the services provid- ed remain the same. This means that the increase is unjustified. The Munici- pal Property Assessment Corporation increases taxes based on the value of your property assessment. However, the fair representation of the services provided for those taxes collected are allotted to the same service compa- nies often for the same price. This is unfair. Q: Why should Ward 2 residents vote for you? A: Better busi- ness practices to attract larger corporations: I would like to see Pickering be host to more choice businesses, large corpo- rations with 1,000 employees or more and key industries that participate tre- mendously to Ontario’s growth. Provide balanced city budgets with accountability for every dollar spent. Continued social and community pro- grams: I want to see all social programs and services continue to help those in need. Responsible growth develop- ment and land preservation: I want to be a part of council that makes decisions with Pickering residents in mind. Better environment awareness and participation: I want to focus on a cleaner environment and stricter mea- sures for businesses that pollute. Gizzo wants evacuation plan created and implemented in Ward 2 Serge Gizzo Q: How would you solve the con- cerns of the residents regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: The sirens for the early warning system have already been purchased as a result of Durham Region’s inad- equate study that ignores social im- pact and property values. Because the sirens are inappropriate, council needs to rethink the design options. I ask the voters in Ward 2 to elect me to give leadership in this serious matter. While safety is a major concern, a more thor- ough study of available options will certainly come up with a solution that better meets the community’s needs. Q: What is the single most impor- tant issue facing Ward 2? A: The most important issue in this election is representation in Ward 2. Not only is there a need for a woman’s voice on council, but Pickering needs an experienced r epresentative who understands the issues. I believe I should be given the opportunity to focus on major concerns: with my leadership, Pickering could have a tax rebate for homeowners who donate money to municipal can- didates; and my nursing experience and membership in the district health council will help secure resources to address the physician shortage. Q: Why should Ward 2 residents vote for you? A: I am experienced in local politi- cal action. I also have a broad base of knowledge as well as energy to give to Pickering council. My awareness of the important is- sues will enable me to ask the right questions and find the information to help solve the problems that council faces: the physician shortage, parking, sirens, tax rebates, waterfront trail, and so many others. I am skillful at negoti- ating with others’ viewpoints and can offer a background of known integrity and strength. Hi gdon vows experience and energy to tackle Pickering’s important issues Eileen Higdon Q: How would you solve the con- cerns of the residents regarding the proposed nuclear alerting system? A: An alerting system is one major reason why I’m running in this elec- tion. Steps I would take are as follows: Establish a small group representing residents, business concerns to work with Durham Region and OPG; Review information received from residents at public meetings held April 28 and 29. Review minutes of these meetings from Durham Region, Ontario Power Generation and the City. Review re- sponses from the questionnaire by Durham emergency management; Set up a website nuclear alerting system within the City’s services; Investigate alternative alert- ing systems used in Great Britain, the U.S., and China; and De- velop guidelines for selecting an acceptable, de- pendable, effi- cient system that residents can ac- cept. Q: What is the single most impor- tant issue facing Ward 2? A: There are several important is- sues in the ward, however, the man- date to implement a public alerting system coming from the provincial government’s nuclear emergency plan is a priority .We need to address our transportation corridors and the flow of traffic throughout the Ward. Q: Why should Ward 2 residents vote for you? A: My professional background in both public and private sectors, and experiences gained working with peo- ple are key assets I offer. Experiences as a Ward 2 school trustee have given me a strong insight and understanding of the community’s needs and expec- tations. My community involvement with sports organizations, parents and youth demonstrates my hard working commitment to serving our commu- nity. As a past-member of the Picker- ing Kinsmen working within our com- munity, it was a highlight for me in the naming of Kinsmen Park in Ward 2. I’m a longtime member and supporter of Legion Branch 606.

PLEASE RECYCLE Pending Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage causes delay By Mike Ruta Staff Writer DURHAM – Supreme Court of Cana- da hearings to determine if the federal government can extend the legal defi- nition of marriage to include same-sex couples has impacted the Marc Hall court case. The court recently began hearing arguments on the matter in Ottawa and a decision is expected early in the new year. Lawyer Peter Lauwers is represent- ing the Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the federal case. He’s also the Durham Catholic District School Board’s lawyer in its defense of the May 2002 Ontario court decision that enabled Mr. Hall, a former Monsi- gnor John Perey- ma Catholic Sec- ondary School student, to at- tend the school prom with his boyfriend. “The concern that I had was that the (Su- preme) court was in the mid- dle of re-writing the rules on the matter of religious freedoms,” Mr. Lauwers said in an in- terview. Mr. Hall’s case was to have begun in Whitby Tuesday, but will now be heard a year from now. Former Perey- ma principal Michael Powers and the Catholic board refused to allow the couple to go to the dance as a couple, resulting in Mr. Hall’s court challenge. After Mr. Hall’s victory, the board filed a statement of defence, prompting fur- ther legal proceedings with a wider context. After the Supreme Court decision, the parties in the Marc Hall case “will need to absorb that and see how that affects our case as we move forward,” said Andrew Pinto, Mr. Hall’s lawyer, in an interview. The delay will also allow Mr. Hall, a University of Waterloo student, to raise money for the court case, he said. Mr. Lauwers says the two cases con- cern the seeming “clash of rights” in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While the charter protects religious freedom, it also forbids discrimina- tion on the basis of sexual orientation. In the Supreme Court case, Mr. Lau- wers is dealing with the question of whether or not freedom of religion in the charter protects religious officials from being forced to perform same- sex marriages. Similarly, the Marc Hall case pits freedom from discrimina- tion against the Catholic board’s right to run its school system according to Catholic teachings. Marc Hall court case will now be heard in 2005 Marc Hall including robbery and aggravated as- sault, in connection with three violent robberies in Durham Region and To- ronto in the spring of 2003. Det. Kelly told Superior Court Jus- tice Clair Marchand that he was carry- ing his standard-issue 9-mm pistol as well as a semi-automatic assault rifle while on the stakeout. “There was an increase in the level of violence at these convenience store robberies where firearms were pres- ent and being used by suspects,” Det. Kelly said under questioning by Crown counsel Mike Newell. The police car was in front of the Daisy Mart, and Det. Kelly was getting out of it with the rifle drawn when clerk Jayesh Patel emerged, shouting he’d been robbed, the cop testified. Mr. Patel was followed by three men, one of whom had a knife; they scattered, one of them running in the direction of a van parked nearby and two taking off behind the store. The Crown says it has evidence, including traces of DNA found on a bandana, linking Mr. Brown to the rob- beries. He was arrested the night of the Pickering robbery and originally charged with more than 20 robberies. Most of those charges were dropped, but police re-laid charges relating to two robberies in Toronto after uncover- ing new DNA evidence early this year. Defence lawyer Kevin Mitchell-Gill has argued that the charges should be thrown out because police waited too long to lay them, infringing upon Mr. Brown’s constitutional rights. Justice Marchand rejected a call for a stay of proceedings early in the trial. Also last week, Mr. Mitchell-Gill put forth the possibility that Mr. Brown was very drunk the night of the Pick- ering robbery, asking Mr. Patel if he’d smelled liquor on any of the three rob- bers as they struggled behind the coun- ter of the store. Mr. Patel replied he hadn’t. And Mr. Mitchell-Gill played video taken in the booking room the night Mr. Brown was brought in by police; the tape shows Mr. Brown bending over at the waist for several seconds at a time and appearing to stagger as he’s led away. Mr. Mitchell-Gill said Mr. Brown was drunk to the point of vomit- ing when he was picked up by police. But an arresting officer testified the accused man was not impaired. An entry on his booking form indicating he’d been using alcohol was an over- sight, the officer testified.

A/P PAGE 4 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆APRIL 30, 2004 Birthday party a chance to paint the town, er, kids As a special birthday cele- bration for our oldest son, my wife and I took our children and a passel of their pals to a paintball field on the week- end. And, while I was actually kind of excited about it, for my wife, an avowed peace- nik, it was not unlike taking a vegan to a steak house. But she is a trooper and she loves her kids dearly, so, biting her Quaker tongue almost clean through, she came along. I had never been to a paint ball place before. I had never seen paint ball devotees. They are scary people. I imagine most of the fellows we saw there, tramping about, slack- jawed, in their camo-paint and fatigues, were the sorts who, in the event of a plane crash, would be the first to suggest barbecuing their seatmates. These were hard- core paintballers and while I am loathe to use too broad a brush stroke here, I would have to hazard most of them had never read anything larg- er than the instruction book- let for their weapons. Even that would be a stretch were it not for the pictures. However, before I elevate myself to the level of saint- hood, I must tell you that there is something strangely hypnotic about holding that loaded gun in one’s hands. And there’s no denying the enormous adrenaline rush produced when you are in the field and people are shoot- ing things at you... things that hurt like stink. I don’t care how many letters you have after your name, we are, all of us, still only a few steps out of the cave. It’s a little unnerving how fast we devolve. In the middle of it all I found myself unashamedly high-fiving my 10-year-old for having “lit up” his mother’s backside. I don’t say it’s a good thing, but the game changes you. Even my wife, who I knew was expending untold energy trying to keep herself above it all, was not immune. At one point she had me pinned down behind a pile of old tires with a relentless enfilade of paintballs, which, I could not help but notice, were all coming in about crotch high. Make any metaphor you want from that. All I know is that at half- time, when she took that mask off, she looked more like Sgt. Fury than the Ivory girl I mar- ried. But you know what? We were having fun, all of us. And the really great thing about paintball, at least from a parental perspective, is this; You know how there is always that kid your children hang around with that kind of drives you nuts? And some days you wish you could just let him have it? Well, I discovered that, as the game organizer, I got to de- cide who was on which team. In other words, I got to choose my targets. And let me tell you there is a tremendously thera- peutic effect to hearing, “Ow! Mr. Crone!” “Ow! Mr. Crone!” over and over and over again. Sunderland resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. A/P PA GE 6 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆OCTOBER 13, 2004 Neil Crone enter lauging Ow! Mr. Crone, you sharpshooter Cut from the top To the editor: Re: ‘Multimillion-dollar def- icit for Rouge Valley,’ Sept. 26. According to chief executive officer Hume Martin, Rouge Valley is facing a projected deficit of $5 million this fis- cal year, with one issue being employee absenteeism. I have been on staff at the hospital since 1972. I know virtually every employee. They are dedicated and hard-work- ing individuals whose prime focus is to provide compas- sionate and excellent care for their patients - your rela- tives, friends and neighbours. However, staff is focused to work compulsory overtime in a top-down culture of secrecy and distrust. In that kind of environment, no wonder sick time is above the norm. The real reason for the pro- jected deficit is the program management style of adminis- tration and its monstrous bu- reaucracy. At amalgamation in 1998, there were four ad- ministrators receiving a base salary of more than $100,000 for a total of $500,000. By 2003 the number of administrators earning at least $100,000 had mushroomed to 26 for a total of $3.8 million. The CEO’s sal- ary for 2003 was $334,916.45. The solution is obvious - eliminate the program man- agement with its inefficient and costly bureaucracy and channel that money into es- sential medical services. There would be enough savings, not only to eliminate the deficit but to hire more full-time nurses and support staff and to reopen the 15 closed medi- cal beds. That would mean admitted patients don’t have to lie on stretchers in cubicles in the emergency department for days on end or worse, die in that horrific environment. The residents of west Dur- ham deserve better. Dr. Romas V. Stas Ajax Beef up your Christmas gifts this year To the editor: As the days of autumn go by many of us are turning our thoughts to Christmas shop- ping for our families and help- ing those who need assistance in the season of giving. One of the comments I hear so often, especially from grandmas and grandpas when discussions of gift giving for their families arise, is “I just give them money and they can buy what they like.” We never seem to know the right sports equipment, computer software or fashions to buy. However, writing a cheque, though easy, doesn’t bring us much pleasure. Off and on during the past two years, we have heard about the effect the border closing due to mad cow dis- ease has had on our beef in- dustry. Though not on our front pages any longer, it is indeed still front page news for our rural neighbors whose markets have evaporated. They must continue to in- vest even more in their cattle through feed because they cannot sell them. They are going deeper and deeper into debt and their futures are un- certain. I would like to suggest that this year, rather than giving money or buying something just for the sake of giving a gift, we purchase a side or quarter of beef from a local farm fam- ily. This gift for your fami- lies’ freezers will bring them health and pleasure. They won’t have to dust it or put it in a yard sale two years from now. You will also be making Christmas a little brighter for a farmer’s children. The beef is butchered and then cut and wrapped in quantities of your choosing by government-inspected pack- ing plants. It is safe and it is good. I have asked the Durham Cattleman’s Association for their assistance in providing information and contacts to help you with your purchase.

Gail Kerry, Port Perry LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We can’t wait for American politics to decide our region’s fate While it’s nice to know our trash is OK to ship to Michigan landfills at the present time, we can’t be certain such a solution has long-term viability. Just recently, U.S. presidential contender John Kerry made waves while in Michigan when he said that, if elected president on Nov. 2, he would put a stop to Canadian shipments of garbage to Michi- gan. It’s easy to be cynical about such an announcement, coming as it does in the middle of a too-close-to-call presidential campaign in which a state like Michigan could make the difference between winning and losing. However, Mr. Kerry’s announcement reminds us that Michigan, at best, is only a temporary solution to a long- term problem. It’s not the answer we need for decades to come. What’s more problematic for us in Durham is the notion that a local solution is as much as a decade away. It’s not as though we haven’t been warned of the problem of getting rid of our trash. After all, many years ago we knew that the Keele Valley Landfill would be closed by the end of 2002 — it was extended to the end of 2003 — and that we would have to find somewhere else to put our trash. No made-in-Durham solution was found to replace Keele Valley, so we merely piggybacked on the City of Toronto and have been sending our garbage to Michigan for close to a year. Such an an- swer to this profound problem shows a lack of political leadership and no forward thinking or vision. Now, we are discovering that nearly $5 million in studies will be needed and that we may have to build a local facility to handle all non-recyclable Durham waste. It also won’t be until 2012, at the earliest, before such a facility will be constructed within Durham’s borders. The problem is that extensive environmental assessments and approvals will be needed before work on a site can begin. There are also concerns about changes in provincial governments hap- pening. There will be two provincial elections (in 2007 and 2011) before construction on a facility could begin in 2012 and who knows what the priorities of a new government might be. We must push ahead as rapidly as humanly possible on this proj- ect. We can’t rely on the vagaries of American politics for our trash disposal. We make the waste: We should come up with a Durham solution so that we can dispose of it in a safe, secure manner in our region. Durham trash solutions must be our highest priority Loraine Lee ‘Yes, I believe peo- ple need to work together.’ We asked Ajax and Pickering residents: Do you believe our minority government can function effectively for Canadians?

CMMIII Manager, Supply & Services P PA GE 7 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆OCTOBER 13, 2004 A/P PA GE 8 ◆NEWS ADVERTISER ◆OCTOBER 13, 2004 Ne w MP says his family is reason behind his success When he took his seat for the first time in the House of Commons Oct. 4, surrounded by his Durham colleagues and not too far from Prime Minister Paul Martin, it was an experience he will not soon forget. He recalled how a friend advised him to remember how it felt. “(He said) anytime you begin to take for granted the position go back to how you felt on that first day that you sat in the Commons,” Mr. Holland said. “It’s up there in terms of life experiences, sitting in the House of Commons for the first time. It’s not quite up there with the birth of my children or meet- ing my wife but it’s up there on the list of the most amazing experiences. “It’s like stepping through a tele- vision or stepping through the other side of a play where you’ve watched something and you’ve followed it and suddenly you’re on the other side... it is a very surreal experience,” he said. “You really feel you’re at the heart of something, at the heart of something both historical and you feel you’re at the heart of the nation.” At only 29 years of age, Mr. Holland has accomplished a lot in the past de- cade. He is a father to three young chil- dren (Braeson, 8, Maia, 5, and Riley, 4), he is married to a very supportive woman, he served as a Pickering coun- cillor for seven years, he worked in banking and has written a sci-fi satire. But he got started young. At 12, while most pre-teen boys were busy playing video games or teasing girls, he was reading Maclean’s maga- zine and working on Norah Stoner’s campaign for the provincial seat for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge. “My mother would drop me off and give me some money for lunch and off I would go into the campaign office,” he said. “I put pins in the wall, still to this day I have no idea why I was putting pins into the wall, but basi- cally that was my job, put pins into the wall, make photocopies and do things around the office.” He also got to go to some rallies and be involved with more exciting aspects of the campaign. After that he stayed away from poli- tics for nearly half a dozen years until he became involved with Pickering- Scarborough East MP Dan McTeague’s first campaign (in the riding that was then called Ontario). Mr. Holland said he learned how to campaign through watching Mr. Mc- Te ague. “My work ethic when it comes to politics - in terms of knocking on doors - came from Dan. He would knock for- ever,” he said. After Mr. McTeague won, Mr. Hol- land worked in his office during the summer while he attended first Trent University studying cultural anthro- pology and then the University of To- ronto studying politics. Next came Mr. Holland’s first run for political office when he threw his name into the hat for trustee at the age of 19. “I ran and I lost,” he said. “I was devastated. I really thought I was going to win and I wasn’t really prepared for how difficult it was to lose... I swore off politics in the sense that I wasn’t going to run again.” His embargo against running lasted only three years until the next munici- pal election when he decided to run for the city councillor position in Ward 2 in Pickering and this time he won (during that term he also worked in banking). Three years later he ran for the regional seat in the ward and was acclaimed. He was acclaimed again in 2003. His time on council meant a lot to him and it was difficult for him to leave, but he said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity when the new riding was created. The friends he made on council are never far from his mind - or his sight. Some of the few photos he has on his still sparsely decorated office walls are group shots from his years on council. Mr. Holland’s early career accom- plishments seem impressive for any- one - let alone someone who has yet to reach 30 - but they are not goals he could have reached without the sup- port of his wife Aerlyn. He takes a deep breath and pauses before talking about her, but it doesn’t stop the emotion from creeping into his voice. “In some ways you feel very self- ish pursuing a profession like this be- cause it takes so much,” he said. “She is somebody who believes in what I be- lieve in and believes that I am making a difference... Even though it’s tough for us she’s excited for me because it is something she knows I wanted to do.” Organizing a schedule together while Mr. Holland is in Ottawa most of the week is not the first challenge he and his wife have faced together. The two were faced with becoming parents at a young age, which he said was very hard. “It’s a testimony to what a great team we are, how well we have done,” he said. “We’re really proud of what we did.” This newest challenge is probably not going to be the last - as anyone who watches Mr. Holland can see how passionate and ambitious about poli- tics he is. “My future goals are to do this job as best as I possibly can... If something else comes along - fantastic - I would welcome other opportunities, whether it be to serve in cabinet or whatever it may be, but if it doesn’t that’s fine too,” he said. “This was, to me, the op- portunity to sit in Parliament and have a voice at the table on national issues and play a part in shaping the future of the country and working with constit- uents. That to me was the goal and any other responsibilities I get or any other opportunities to make a difference are a bonus.” Does the ambitious young man who attained his dream job in June now harbour aspirations for the top politi- cal job in the country? “A nybody who goes into federal politics, who has a real passion for the country and a real vision for where they’d like to see the country go would answer that question yes,” he said. “Would I like to be prime minister? Yes.” Danielle Milley / News Advertiser photo MP Mark Holland is excited to take his place on Parliament Hill as the MP for Ajax-Pickering. DURHAM – Despite a request from Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, the Region says lights are not needed at the site of a large cycling accident in north Picker- ing. On Aug. 14, 15 cyclists from a bike club were hit when two vehicles collided at Brock Road and Concession 5. Mayor Parish, an avid cyclist, wrote in a letter to the works committee that the inter- section is extremely dangerous and that lights should be installed. In a report on the incident to the committee Wednesday, staff said colli- sions have declined from 10 to 11 a year, to three to four and that traffic warrants needed for lights are not met. This can be attributed to the opening of the 407 to the north, traf- fic-calming through the nearby town of Whitevale and residents taking alternate routes through the area. “The (accident)... while regrettable, was an unusual event that arguably would not have been prevented by a traffic control signal,” the report said, concluding that lights are not necessary. The intersection is scheduled to be widened to four lanes in 2009. Works equipment to cost $3.1 million DURHAM – The works department will spend $3.1 million replacing equip- ment such as pickup trucks, sanders, weed eaters and saws. The purchases won’t be made until 2005, but the department needs ap- proval this year to have enough time to place orders and get the best price, a report to the works committee Wednes- day said. It can take up to 10 months to get large trucks delivered, equipped and ready for plowing and sanding during the winter, for example. The money will come from the works equipment reserve fund. Shopping plaza proposes expansion DURHAM – A large shopping centre at Harmony and Taunton roads wants to get bigger. First Pro Shopping Centres, which owns facilities across Durham including the one in north Oshawa, wants to add an additional 18,125 sq. m. in commercial floor space to the centre, said a report and presentation to planning committee Tuesday. That would include expanding the existing Wal-Mart and adding six new buildings to an area just north of the centre where a recreation centre is being built. The Region’s official plan must be amended to redesignate the area for the expansion to happen, the report said. The planning committee heard from several residents who were concerned about noise, traffic and the possibility of making some residential areas near the site commercial. Some businesses also made a presentation, wondering how the expansion would affect them. A study to determine the impact of the expansion will be completed, at the expense of First Pro. Some residents didn’t know why quarantined: Survey DURHAM – A recent study of more than 1,000 adults who were quarantined during last year’s Severe Acute Respira- tory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak found that some didn’t fully understand why they had to stay at home. While 82 per cent knew one of the reasons they were quarantined was to protect the community, 57 per cent also thought it was because they had to pro- tect themselves against others, said Dr. Donna Reynolds in a presentation to the health and social services committee Thursday. Durham Region had the third-high- est number of SARS cases in Canada during the two outbreaks in March and May last year, with 27. Almost 4,200 residents were quarantined. The second part of the survey re- sults will focus on the impact of quaran- tine on those involved. While it has yet to be released, Dr. Reynolds did give some preliminary results, including that there was only a 50-per cent overall compli- ance with quarantine. Around 65 per cent said not being able to leave the house was the most difficult part of quarantine, while 56 per cent said it was very hard to take care of children and to have to wear a mask. More than 60 per cent said their feel- ings about quarantine included isolation, frustration, annoyance and worry. Tw o mosquito pools, eight birds positive for West Nile Virus DURHAM – At the end of West Nile Virus (WNV) season, Durham had eight positive birds and two positive mosquito pools, a report to Thursday’s health and social services committee said. The Region monitored 24 mosquito trapping sites, and more than 16,000 mosquitoes were sent to Brock Univer- sity for testing, the report said. The two positive pools were from Uxbridge and Pickering. Sixty dead birds were submitted for testing, with eight positive birds found in every municipality except Pickering. Postpartum depression support groups increase DURHAM – The health depart- ment will be offering additional support groups for new mothers experiencing postpartum depression, a report to Thursday’s health and social services committee said. Staff had planned four groups for 2004, but have added two more be- cause of an increase in client referrals. The support groups are offered once a week for 12 weeks and are run by public health nurses, the report said. Discussions focus on coping strategies, increasing confidence and understand- ing the depression. It’s estimated that 10 to 20 per cent of new mothers in Durham experience postpartum depression each year, the report said. For more information on where and when the groups will be held, contact the health department at 905-723-8521.

Exporting garbage to Michigan is not sustainable. And residents have said no to a landfill in Durham Region. So a “made in Dur- ham solution” must be found. Right now, works staff members are developing the proposed terms of ref- erence, which means looking at all alternative waste solutions and getting public input and suggestions. Some alternatives being looked at include processing garbage to end up with a recyclable material or methane gas, which could be used for energy, incineration and any new and innova- tive methods. The report will go to a finance meet- ing next week to get monetary approv- al before head- ing to regional council Oct. 20. Public meet- ings are cur- rently being held across Dur- ham. The dates of those and all information are at www.region. durham.on.ca/ residualwasteEA or by calling the works department at 905-668-7721.

Anna Postelnyak, 13, is one of more than 60 participants in the upcoming Canadian Chopin Piano Competition in Mississauga starting Sunday. The competition is held every five years and this is the second time the event is being held in Canada. The Grade 8 at Sir John A. Macdon- ald Public School has taken time off school to prepare for the competition. “I take up to about eight hours a day to practise.” Asked if she’s nervous, Anna says, “Kind of, because it’s a very big deal for me.” She’s taken part in other competi- tions, but “I don’t think anything this big.” She’ll compete in the junior divi- sion, which is for youths aged 12 to 17. The senior division is for ages 16 to 27. During the competition, Anna will play five Chopin pieces in 25 minutes. Her competition is being held on Thurs- day, Oct. 21. The top three winners in the senior category win a trip to Warsaw, Poland in October, 2005, to compete in the International Chopin Competition. There are prizes totalling $18,000 for the top three winners of each age category, plus a residency in the Banff Music and Sound program for the top two winners in the senior category. It’s being held from Oct. 17 to 22 at the John Paul II Cultural Centre in Mississauga, with the final gala concert at the Glenn Gould Studio at the CBC headquarters on Oct. 23, starting at 7:30 p.m. The Grade 10 piano student found out about the competition through her music teacher, Natalia Tyomkina. “My music teacher told me about it and asked if I wanted to participate.” Born in the Ukraine, she came to Canada with her family two years ago. Her mom is Myla, dad is Mykola and her sister is Mary, 8. She’s been playing piano for 10 years. “It’s something I like and enjoy,” she explains. Anna started playing piano when her father “met a music teacher back in the Ukraine. He said I could come over and I started playing. “We moved to Pickering as soon as we came here,” Anna says. “Yeah, I like it. It’s very nice.” She does miss her friends in the Ukraine. “I have to play everyday. It’s impor- tant,” she says, noting “on average,” she practises four hours a day. “Now, it’s up to eight hours because it’s very important.” Anna isn’t sure if she would like to make music a career. “I’m not sure yet. I think maybe, but I’m not sure yet. It’s definitely something I enjoy.” As for missing school to practice, she says, “I’ll have a lot of catching up to do when I get back. “I would like to say a special thank you to one person, Dave MacKay. He’s one of the greatest people I’ve ever met. He helped us as we immigrated to Canada and he helped us with living, showing us around and what Canada is.” Her dad Mykola says Mr. MacKay had a piano and “it’s only because of him we can do this. We’re very happy we met him.” Pickering teen is a classic A.J. Groen / News Advertiser photo Anna Postelnyal is busy practising for the Canadian Chopin Piano Competition.

Tw o-time world champion hurdler Perdita Felicien, laser sailor Ber- nard Luttmer and sprinter Anson Henry will be feted with a celebration at the Pickering Town Centre’s centre court at 7 p.m. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan and members of council will be in attendance at the celebration. Felicien suf- fered a heart- breaking fall in the final of the 100-metre hurdles at Athens, hitting the first hurdle and falling to the track. She had previously won her heat as well as the semifinal race to arrive in the final. Meanwhile, Henry and his Canadian 4-x-100- metre relay team- mates Nicolas Macrozonaris, Pierre Browne and Charles Allen finished seventh while running in the outside lane 8 in the heat, which wasn’t good enough to qualify for the final. It was Henry’s first Olympic Games. Luttmer finished 29th overall in his first Olympic Games as Canada’s repre- sentative in the laser class.

Five-time defending gridiron champs recover from lacklustre first half to crush Cougars By Al Rivett Sports Editor DURHAM — The Notre Dame Cath- olic Secondary Cougars knew the key to Friday’s game would be keeping St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’ quarterback Erik Glavic in check. But, knowing they’d have to corral the mobile pivot and actually doing so was another matter entirely for Notre Dame. Ultimately, the Cougars (1-1) could do nothing but marvel at Glavic’s abil- ity to scramble out of trouble, make big gains out of broken plays and generally give the Cougars’ defence fits. In the end, Glavic guided his high-octane St. Mary offence to 20 unanswered points in the second half en route to a 29-7 victory over the Cougars in Durham Region senior football action at the Oshawa Civic Stadium. Following the night game, played before a large crowd, Cougars’ head coach Brian Hughes tipped his hat to Glavic’s performance, noting all the advance preparation and scouting could do nothing to deter the Mon- archs’ quarterback on this night. “We knew going in that he was going to be able to do what he did. You can’t scout for that,” said Hughes, who viewed the game as a litmus test for his Cougars against the five-time Durham Region senior football champs. “We made mistakes and he killed us for 14 points. They read us in the second half and picked us apart.” For all his ability to throw with pre- cision, Glavic is at his best as a scram- bler. Time and again, his scrambling ability left Cougars tacklers grasping at air, either keeping the ball and running for big gains, or finding open receivers while dancing out of harm’s way. With Notre Dame leading 7-6 with six seconds remaining in the sec- ond quarter, Glavic recovered from a botched snap while in the shotgun formation, calmly picked up the loose ball and proceeded to weave his way down to the Notre Dame 10-yard line. On the next play, Glavic booted the field goal to give the Monarchs a 9-7 advantage. The Monarchs continued to gain momentum early in the second half. On their first offensive series, Glav- ic hooked up with favourite receiver Aaron Racioppa on a 15-yard pass- and-run play. The touchdown, and Glavic’s convert, put the Monarchs in front 16-7 and they never looked back. Late in the third quarter, Glavic scrambled out of trouble once again, rolled right, and hit Racioppa for his second touchdown of the game. Andrew Morrill and David Priest- man also counted touchdowns for St. Mary (2-0). Notre Dame scored its lone major in the second quarter with Cougars’ quarterback Chris Dahiroc firing a 13- yard strike to wide receiver Akeem Foster in the end zone. Matt Whittaker kicked the convert. St. Mary coach Enzo Antonucci noted his quarterback’s ability to read and react to any situation on the field sets him apart. “He has fantastic awareness of what’s going on on the field,” said Antonucci. Antonucci said the key to the game was his players’ ability to ratchet up the intensity in the second half after being held down in the first half. “I was a little worried because we weren’t playing the type of game we can play,” said Antonucci of his team’s first-half play. “Our intensity was a little off. I think we pumped up the intensity in the second half.” Hughes believed his players were no less intense in the second half. The major difference was the Monarchs’ ability to make adjustments on offence in the second half. “They read holes in our defence and exploited them,” explained Hughes. “We were no less intense. This sport is a game of mistakes. I’m OK with that. It’s not a back-to-the-drawing-board kind of result. We’ll put it behind us.” Both St. Mary and Notre Dame are involved in a doubleheader show- case of senior football in Oshawa this Friday.

NEWS ADVERTISER Junior squad goes 1-1-1 in weekend action By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — Facing their most daunting test during a heavy-duty weekend of hockey, the Pickering Pan- thers came through with a measure of respectability. The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club met the cream of the league crop on the weekend, with three games in three nights against the first-place St. Michael’s Buzzers, the defending South Conference cham- pion Wexford Raiders and the defend- ing national junior champion Aurora Tigers. Prior to the weekend, Panthers’ head coach John Winder noted the three- pack of games would reveal whether the Panthers could compete with the strongest teams in the south and north conferences. And, after posting a 1-1-1 record, he believes his Panthers rightly belong in the upper tier of the league’s South Conference. “I think they do,” he says. “Like I said, it was going to be a weekend to see how we responded to the upper echelon teams in the league. This is what we wanted to know and we showed that we can compete.” The Panthers finished the jam- packed weekend on a down note, los- ing 10-5 to the host St. Michael’s Buzz- ers (11-1-0-1, first in South Confer- ence) at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Arena on Sunday. They opened with a 4-4 tie with the Wexford Raiders (7-4-1-1, fifth in conference) at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday. Host- ing the Aurora Tigers (5-7-0-1, third in North Conference standings) at the complex Saturday, the Panthers post- ed their biggest win of the season to date, edging the defending Canadian champions from Aurora 3-2. Against St. Mike’s Sunday, the Pan- thers sprinted out to a 2-0 lead before giving it all back, with the score tied 2-2 after two minutes. The game was tied 3-3 early in the second frame, but a flurry of three Buzzers’ goals in a two-minute span, including two short- handed markers, put St. Mike’s ahead 6-3 and firmly in control the rest of the way. John Scrymgeour, Ryan Annesley, Andrew Dissanayake, Jeff Birr and Derek Lynden, with his team-leading 13th goal of the season, scored for Pickering. A late third-period goal by rookie Chris Chappell propelled the Panthers to the solid victory over the Aurora Tigers. Chappell scored the eventual game winner with 2:34 remaining in the contest, with the Panthers holding on through an Aurora onslaught late in the game for the big victory. The win also came courtesy of a strong goaltending performance from Pickering starter Bryan Schermele who was brilliant in the face of 38 shots by the Tigers. After a scoreless first period, the Panthers led 2-1 after the second pe- riod. The Tigers tied the score at 2-2 midway through the third period, set- ting the table for Chappell’s game- clinching marker. Lynden and Annesley scored the other Panthers goals against Aurora. The Panthers started the weekend by playing to a 4-4 tie with the visit- ing Wexford Raiders (8-2-2-0, third in South Conference). Unfortunately, it was a tie that might have been a win for the Panthers. The Panthers led 3-0 in the first period and ended up ahead 3-1 after 20 minutes. The Pickering juniors, however, were outscored by a 3-1 margin in the middle frame of the game, knotting it at 4-4. Neither team was able to break the deadlock in the final period. Chappell, Scrymgeour, Lynden and Phil Mc Ilhone scored for Pickering against Aurora. The Panthers host back-to-back home games this weekend. The Va ughan Vipers (3-6-0-1, seventh in South Conference) are at the complex on Friday night. The next evening, the St. Michael’s Buzzers are at the com- plex. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT: The Pan- thers’ sickbay still includes forward Richard Schofield (concussion, week- to-week) and defenceman Danny Sul- livan (upper body, day to day)...
