BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Cutting education assistants from the budget will further degrade a special-education program that is already not meeting the needs of students, public school trustees heard at a budget meeting Wednesday night. Draft 2 of the 2001/2002 Durham District School Board restored two of the 20 EA positions that were identified for reduction in the first draft. But members of the board’s special education advisory committee (SEAC) and others said the system needs more EAs to keep up with the growth of the special- needs population. “We can’t take any more cuts and they have to realize that; the number of identified students is going up,” SEAC member Marlene Avery said in an interview after her presenta- tion. Before the board restruc- tured its special-education pro- gram, starting in 1999, every school had a special-education classroom where teachers could send mainstream stu- dents, she said. Now more spe- cial-needs students are in mainstream classrooms where their needs are not being met and teachers are overwhelmed. “The classroom teachers have got to be totally stressed and that’s why I said that stress cannot even be compensated financially,” said Ms. Avery. She recommended the board increase the EA alloca- PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Nuclear team helps Moulin Rouge a retro manage environment bohemian rhapsody?

Ted Underwood, adminis- trator at the Rodd Avenue facil- ity, reported Thursday the re- sults from tests last Friday all came back negative. “There are no new cases,” he said. “All of the people we screened do not have ESBL.” Mr. Underwood reported about 52 seniors were screened for the bacteria after three cases of extended spectrum beta lactamase E. coli were identified at the home recently. “They are all negative,” he said, adding he’s relieved there are no new cases. Public health officials an- nounced earlier this week an outbreak of the bacteria has af- fected more than 100 residents in the eastern GTA. Ninety- three people in Durham have been diagnosed with the ESBL bacteria since last July. The bacteria is resistant to many common types of antibi- otics and the Durham Region Health Department has report- ed four deaths in Durham have been linked to the strain. Another 21 people who had tested positive for the bacteria have died, but ESBL was not considered a contributing fac- tor in their deaths. Another death in York Region is also being investigated. Meanwhile, health depart- ment spokesman Glendene Collins reported there has not been a formal call for an in- quiry into the deaths despite media reports an Oshawa man, whose father died after being diagnosed with ESBL E. coli last summer, is seeking an in- quest. Ms. Collins said she could not address the case because the department is “not permit- ted” to discuss any individual cases. She also reported there have been no changes this week in the department’s investigation into the outbreak. The department is working with eight facilities in Durham that have been affected by the outbreak in an effort to contain the drug-resistant organism.

As well, help must be offered to parents whose children have be- havioural prob- lems and are in regular class- rooms, said Ms. Avery. “These stu- dents are not being helped by being constantly sus- pended,” she said. Business su- perintendent Ron Trbovich respond- ed that the board fears it will lose $2 million in spe- cial-education funding after the next school year. The board spends every special-edu- cation dollar re- ceived from the Province on the program, in addi- tion to a $1.5-mil- lion subsidy gar- nered from other areas, he said. Ms. Avery said the board is bound by the Education Act that requires it to offer a range of placements to par- ents. “You can’t ex- pect a classroom teacher... to be able to modify and accommodate the needs of (special- needs kids in their class); they may have five or six different excep- tionalities in the classroom,” she said. Mr. Trbovich said staff have al- ready proposed $3 million in cuts to central adminis- tration this year and must find an additional $1.5 million next year. Approximately $6 million in working reserves is de- signed for emer- gencies, such as if the board’s enrol- ment estimate for next year is too high, resulting in less provincial funding. Marion Moore, chairman of the EA unit of Local 218 of the Canadi- an Union of Pub- lic Employees’ Union, said six out of 10 EAs sur- veyed said they do not have enough time to complete their duties. EAs complained that when they are absent, there is no replace- ment. That means work piles up, a co-worker has to pick up the slack and students’ needs are not being met. “We had a lot of EAs retire and resign this year,” she told trustees. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper, chair- man of the board’s education finance commit- tee and vice-chairman of SEAC, said in an in- terview trustees heard a consistent message that EAs can’t be cut and will probably revis- it the proposed reduction. “I think the board will look at least at matching the same service level this year,” she said.

As the head of a small business in Durham, I have supported many of the ac- tions of the current government at Queen’s Park. It dismays me, however, to think the minister of education is required to promote legislation that, according to the reports, she is opposed to. Are we then, as responsible citizens of this province, required to stand by and keep quiet, while Premier Mike Har- ris and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty enjoy their power trip at our expense and at the ex- pense of Education Minister Janet Ecker. If the actions of our top politicians are meant to impress the average Ontarian, I think it’s time someone gave their heads a shake and helped them to realize the people of this province put them in power and can exercise that same power to eject them. I think the NDP in British Columbia just re- ceived ample proof of that. I hope that if Ms. Ecker is,as reported,so vehemently opposed to the tax credit pro- posal, she may be permitted by her bosses to make her opinion public to the parents of the many children who cannot afford the luxury of private schooling.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com People in our society do not like rules and restrictions placed upon them, especially in matters that in- volve personal choice. When a talk radio program dis- cusses a moral issue, a choice issue, invariably a caller will state this ethic — “People can do whatever they want as long as they are not hurting anyone” — and apply it to the moral question at hand. Now, some of you may be wondering what is so wrong with this moral code; it sounds civilized and en- lightened. My main objection is this: to jus- tify “doing whatever you want”, people simply redefine “somebody” and “hurt”. In the past, entire cate- gories of humans (Jews, blacks, gypsies and even women) were de- nied the status of “somebody” and became victims. But today every “anyone” has rights, and there are human rights commissions and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms to guarantee them, aren’t there? Unfortunately not. The very youngest members of the human race are not regarded as anyones or somebodies when it is more convenient for them not to be, despite the testimony of the ultra- sound. How do we redefine “hurt”? When we are striving to please our- selves, it is easy to minimize any negative effect our actions could or do have on others. When the “oth- ers” in question are not “somebod- ies”, we take no notice when embry- ologists announce pain can be felt at 12 weeks gestation. Most newscasts do not carry the discovery that for a period of time beginning at 12 weeks, a fetus’s nat- ural pain-reduction system of endor- phins and other hormones is not yet in place. A pre-born baby at this stage feels more pain than any of us can imagine when it is violently dis- membered or poisoned to death. The leading cause of death in Canada today is not due to disease or accident. The vast majority of victims are perfectly healthy. Abortion killed 114,848 in 1997, with cancer a dis- tant second at 58,703 deaths over the same period. We are not used to hearing cause-of-death figures re- ported in this way. Why? If statistics Canada called abortion a death rather than something therapeutic, Canadians would have to admit somebody was hurt as they did whatever they wanted. And then we would discover that because our enlightened moral code does not protect everybody, it does- n’t work for anybody. Abortion the leading cause of death in Canada Hurtful statistics show tens of thousands of ‘somebodies’killed each year Just because a parliamentary committee chaired by a former Liberal ministers says MPs deserve a whopping raise, doesn’t mean it should be so. Recall the recommendations made by a committee of the On- tario legislature last year that called for a pay hike in the range of 33 per cent for MPPs. Remember the public furore that greeted such news? Mike Harris and his ministers and backbenchers cer- tainly do. That 33 per cent wound up being a big fat zero when all was said and done. There are a wide range of viewpoints on the 20-per cent hike MPs would get, the 42-per cent jump in pay the prime minister would receive and the hikes cabinet ministers, senators, the speak- er and others would get. Consider the numbers: MPs would go from $109,500 to a whopping $131,400; the PM would jump to $262,988 (same as the chief justice) from $184,600; the speaker and leader of the op- position would both go from $162,200 to $194,640 (plus both get elaborate residences as does the PM); cabinet ministers would leap from $159,500 to $194,600; the other three opposition lead- ers would get a huge boost from $141,100 to $176,320; chief whips would see their stipends bulge to $155,400 from $123,800; the Senate — the Senate for heaven’s sake — government leader would get an incredible $168,080 from the already amazing salary of $138,080; and senators, whose very existence is questioned on a regular basis across this country, would go from a paltry $88,200 to, gulp, $105,840. Hello Andrew Thompson, wherever you are! So there you have it. The annual pay hike would cost $10 mil- lion. It’s being justified by the prime minister who says it’s up to the public to decide whether he’s worth the same as the chief jus- tice. There are two problems with these raises: how they were done and how much is involved. It’s not unreasonable for MPs to expect a modest raise. But this is not modest. Combine it with an incredible pension and MPs are living the high life. No, the job isn’t easy. It does involve long hours and more meetings than most of us would ever want to take. But MPs, especially incumbents, know what’s involved and can calculate the costs and benefits. They want more money, at least three years before the next election, because they can simply vote themselves a raise, a privilege none of us in the real working world enjoy. They should remember it’s our money they’re playing with. The only raise they deserve is one that’s tied to the cost of living, set each year and adjusted annually. That’s only reasonable and fair.

In this story, we look at incineration and energy-from-waste facilities as an option for long-term waste management. BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM — For many, the process of burning garbage in an incinerator conjures up images of blazing fires and billows of thick black smoke being spewed into the air. But, as Peel Region is proving at its ener- gy-from-waste (EFW) facility in Brampton, where the emissions from the site are not vis- ible to the naked eye, the incinerators of today are nothing like those of days gone by. “Our emissions are lower than probably the (Hwy.) 407,” said Nathalie Henning, act- ing manager of waste management for Peel Region, during a recent tour of the KMS Peel Inc. site, located on Bramalea Road just south of Hwy. 407. She reports the Region and the Province closely monitor the emissions from the facili- ty, which has played a key role in reducing the amount of garbage the municipality sends to landfill each year. “We’re well ahead of other municipalities because of this incinerator,” she said, noting it enables the Region to look after its own waste without shipping tonnes of trash to landfill sites in other jurisdictions. “We want to try and take care of the garbage in Peel.” Open since February 1992, KMS Peel in- cinerates non-hazardous solid waste for the purpose of producing and selling electricity. The facility processes about 130,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste and 15,000 tonnes of industrial, commercial and institu- tional waste each year. The incineration process reduces the amount of waste requiring disposal by ap- proximately 70 per cent. And, as the waste is burned, the heat generated is used to produce electricity, which is then sold to Brampton Hydro. The facility, which operates seven days a week, 365 days a year, is “more like a power plant except garbage is the actual fuel,” said facility manager Frank Amaral, noting the plant generates enough power to service about 4,000 homes. The Province approved the construction of KMS Peel in 1988 after an extensive environ- mental assessment process that took place in the mid-1980s. The facility opened with four incinerators in 1992 and a fifth was added last year along with new air pollution control (APC) technology designed to reduce emis- sions, Mr. Amaral said. “We added something similar to a catalyt- ic converter,” he said, adding the new APC technology brings the facility up to European standards, which are even more stringent than the air quality regulations here. “We want to make sure we’re well above the guidelines,” said Ms. Henning, who re- ported the Region is also working to treat the ashes left over from the incineration process. She explained the incinerator produces three kinds of ash; bottom ash, which is used as daily cover for the Region’s Britannia Landfill Site, and fly ash and APC ash, both of which are considered hazardous and are dis- posed of at a secure hazardous waste landfill site. Ms. Henning also said the incinerator is only one aspect of the Region’s long-term waste management plan, which is aimed at di- verting 70 per cent of Peel’s waste. She reported the Region also operates a successful recycling program, is planning to introduce a three-bag limit on garbage collec- tion in early June, runs a curbside organics composting program in Caledon as well as the northern areas of Brampton, and offers leaf and yard waste composting to residents as well. “They’re using all of the waste manage- ment tools available to them,” said Durham’s waste manager Peter Watson. “It’s kind of impressive,” he said of Peel’s EFW facility, which he referred to as a “state- of-the-art” building that is “working excep- tionally well”. And, Mr. Watson said Durham is exploring the possibility of developing a similar facility here “provided we maximize recycling and maximize composting first. “I think the identity of this (type of facili- ty) being in the waste plan is very helpful,” Mr. Watson said, noting there has been a great deal of progress in terms of the technology as- sociated with incinerators. “The old incinerators of decades gone by would burn everything,” he said, noting the newer facilities “don’t want blue box materi- als, compostables or scrap metal”. He also noted the newer sites, such as KMS Peel, tend to be more compact and are monitored strict- ly by the provincial government. Pickering resident David Steele, chairman of Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment (PACT), said the Region of Durham’s citizens’ committee on waste man- agement is in favour of developing an EFW facility here as long as several conditions are met. “It cannot be sited in a residential area,” he said. “It has to be in an industrial area and (the community) has to be a willing host.” He added the use of an incinerator “would be the end of the problems for Durham’s garbage for 50 years”. Jayne Pilot, chairman of the KMS Peel Public Liaison Committee, maintained incin- eration is “the safest way to dispose of our waste today. I am not a supporter of landfill at all because of the spread of disease that comes from municipal garbage.” She added one of the benefits of incinera- tion “is you’re assured the waste is totally dis- posed of. You are also generating electricity and the facility uses energy to run its opera- tion so it’s cost-effective... more cost-effective than a landfill.” Ms. Pilot said the committee, which meets every two months, was established as a re- quirement of the Certificate of Ap- proval for the KMS Peel facility. The committee acts as a conduit for community feed- back and reviews the company’s on- going operations, she said, noting it is also involved in public education through presenta- tions to community groups and tours of the facility. And, although common criticisms of incinerators include concerns about emission levels and the impact on recycling and composting programs, Ms. Pilot said the public support for the facility in Brampton has been excellent. “We haven’t had any complaints from neighbours,” she said, noting the committee is satisfied the facility is operating well within the Province’s guidelines. “KMS Peel has always been open, they have open doors and open books,” she said. She also recognizes the incinerator is just one of the elements in Peel Region’s waste management plan, and said the Region’s strong recycling program has not been affect- ed due to the incinerator. “It’s just common sense that people would recycle paper and plastics, it’s a resource,” she said, adding Peel’s waste management pro- grams complement one another. In Durham, Pickering Councillor and Durham works committee chairman Rick Johnson said an EFW facility could “be viable in the Region of Durham if we partnered with the private sector”. He noted the Region has been following the development of KMS Peel Inc. since it opened. “It works quite well in an industrial set- ting,” Coun. Johnson said. But, he reported one of the concerns he has with EFW facilities is the fact “the best burn- ing material is the recyclables... if you burn everything and use it as feedstock you defeat the purpose.” That’s why he’d rather see improvements to Durham’s recycling program and the devel- opment of a composting facility before look- ing at the possibility of EFW. He also noted even if the Region built a facility, it would still need to landfill the ash that is produced through the incineration process. Despite his concerns, he said the Region needs to examine all options. “We’re on the edge of the evolution of EFW facilities and new technologies,”he said. “We have to explore them and make sure they’re cost-effective.” DURHAM — When the garbage is picked up at homes throughout Peel Region, the traditional landfill destination isn’t the first stop for the waste. Rather, the waste is taken directly to Brampton incinerator KMS Peel Inc., re- ports facility manager Frank Amaral. Collection trucks deliver the garbage to the facility and unload it onto the tipping floor where large items such as mattresses and bicycles are removed. The garbage is then loaded into the lower chambers of the incinerators every seven to 10 minutes. The air quality for combustion is controlled at about 850 C so that combus- tion is not completed at the end of the first stage. The gases are then moved to a second chamber, which reaches about 1,300 C, where the dioxins are burned and destroyed. From there, the hot gases enter heat re- covery boilers where they create the steam used to run the turbines and generate elec- tricity. The incinerated ash, or bottom ash as it is known, is then moved into a quench tank to cool. The residual gases, or flue gases, leaving the boilers are directed horizontally out to the emission control system, which Mr. Amaral refers to as the “heart” of the facili- ty. He explained the system is designed to absorb 90 per cent of the acid gases through the injection of hydrate lime and to remove 99.9 per cent of all particulate using what is referred to as ‘fabric filter bag houses’. Mr. Amaral said the hydrate lime neutral- izes any chemicals and the filters trap any particles before the hot air is released from the stacks into the environment. The emissions are continuously moni- tored and monthly reports are submitted to the Region and the Province. An indepen- dent consulting company also conducts an- nual tests. From garbage to electricity DURHAM – KMS Peel Inc. features five incinerators that burn garbage collected in Peel Region, turning it into energy that generates enough power to feed up to 4,000 homes. Emissions from the facility are not visible to the naked eye, and Peel Region and the Province closely monitor its operation.

However, despite those concerns, a City survey conducted in March, in which 51 of 68 homeowners and resi- dents on the street took part, found a majority are not seriously bothered by the chance the humps may delay emer- gency services. In addition, the majority supported the humps in general. Concerns were raised though about the quality of the road surface and the lack of sidewalks. Peter Williams, who has lived on Rougemount since 1991, was also on hand to speak to councillors and in an interview said the street desperately needs to be repaved and sidewalks are needed for children travelling back and forth to school. “The road surface is deplorable,” he said. “Forget the road humps, the road has just gone to hell.” Mr. Williams would also like to see the humps removed. The humps were needed at first because of added traffic due to Hwy. 401 being widened, he said, adding since the construction is complete, they are no longer needed. Ward 1 City Councillor David Ryan said the City put the humps in after hearing from area residents. “There were a number of concerns expressed in that area about traffic,” said Coun. Ryan in an interview, adding that when the humps were in- stalled, there was significant support from residents. The city has done surveys to gauge residents’ support since the humps were installed. Those findings have been released for public review and also include the survey results of residents in other areas with speed humps. City staff is seeking public feedback for a report to council and will hold open houses to get public opinion about traffic-calming measures in Pick- ering. Those interested in getting a copy of the report, ‘Safer streets traffic man- agement strategy’ are asked to call the City of Pickering at 905-420-4630.

And, the biodiversity and natural areas management plan has another two years to go, says Sonia MacMaster. A member of the environmental team at the Pickering nuclear station, Ms. Mac- Master adds the program aims to enhance and preserve ecological areas near the fa- cility. “A lot of things have been done on the shoreline. The work we’ve done so far is with the shoreline,” she noted, adding the Toronto and Region Conservation Authori- ty has done a lot of planting in the area for OPG. The plan’s goal is to gradually reinte- grate the shoreline near the plant into the waterfront landscape. The six goals of the plan are: avoid, cor- rect, monitor and offset any environmental affects the plant has; construct and main- tain the waterfront trail along Lake On- tario; enhance and protect the Hydro Marsh and the Krosno Creek watershed; support efforts to improve the environment of the Duffins Creek marsh; rehabilitate and naturalize areas to the east of the plant not needed for ongoing operations; and maintain and improve communication with the public on environmental matters. “We’ve done a lot of planting in the community,” Ms. MacMaster said. “There have been some tree plantings to the east of the plant. There’s still more to do. It’s an ongoing project.” One of the projects was the planting of a butterfly garden in Alex Robertson Park, at the end of Sandy Beach Road, next to the Hydro Marsh. “The garden includes plants, shrubs and herbs that attract certain species of butter- fly,” she said. “The garden included flow- ers and plants to attract different kinds of butterflies.” A butterfly will depend on specific plants throughout its lifespan, as a female butterfly will lay her eggs with a plant. A garden should have plants where a butterfly can lay eggs and other plants for food. Students from Holy Redeemer School helped with the garden, Ms. MacMaster said. Other school groups are also hoping to plant a butterfly garden, she said. “It’s a re- ally popular activity with the kids. The kids love it and it works into their curricu- lum.” In addition to helping with the planting, the students were given larvae to raise in their classroom. Asked if the garden is used by butter- flies, she replied, “Oh yeah.” Ms. MacMaster said more will be plant- ed in the communities of Ajax and Picker- ing. OPG fills environmental gaps at Pickering nuclear station PICKERING ––Sonia MacMaster, a member of the environmental team at OPG, is working to preserve ecological areas around the Pickering nuclear plant. ‘We’ve done a lot of planting in the community.

A survey conducted for the ITER Canada Community Council by Collis & Reed Re- search indicates almost 60 per cent of resi- dents familiar with the International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) pro- ject are supportive of it. Only one per cent of respondents felt negatively toward the project while 38 per cent reported feeling neither pos- itive nor negative. The results of the survey left the council - which represents the interests of the geo- graphical community in Durham and sur- rounding areas - pleasantly surprised, says Adrian Foster, chairman of the council’s com- munication committee and president of the Clarington Board of Trade. “We were surprised on a couple of levels,” he says. “We were pleased with the communi- ty support and the level of information. We were surprised by how much people knew and the depth of the questions we got.” The telephone survey was conducted be- tween Jan. 22 and Feb. 13 in an area spanning north to Lindsay and Peterborough south-east to Cobourg and west to Pickering. Clarington residents were the most knowl- edgeable on the project, with 44 per cent re- sponding they had read or heard something about ITER while only 15 per cent of respon- dents in areas north and east of Clarington were familiar with the project. Of those who had heard of ITER, 57 per cent reported they had read about it in a news- paper, with 87 per cent of those indicating the source to be their local newspaper. Another 27 per cent had seen news reports about ITER on television. When it is built, ITER will be the last stage of research in an international project to har- ness fusion as a useable energy source for the world. Researchers hope findings from ITER will pave the way for the first commercial demon- stration plant in about 30 years. The research project is expected to create thousands of person years of jobs and infuse billions of dollars into the economy of the country where it is located. Japan and France have also expressed an interest in hosting the project. Negotiations start in Russia June 7 to begin the process for choosing the site. Mr. Foster notes the respondents who com- pleted the phone survey did have a number of questions on the project, which the communi- ty council hopes to address through the cre- ation of a Web site that will soon be on-line. One message the council hopes to convey is the significance the project will have on the area’s future economic development, he says. “Part of what we can show to people is the potential for the next generation, for careers for our children that don’t exist today.” Mr. Foster also points to the potential for spin-off technology. He cites a fusion research facility at Princeton University in the United States where products ranging from rocket en- gines to agricultural technologies are being developed as a result of the fusion energy re- search. The safety of the research facility was an- other key area where respondents had ques- tions and again, says Mr. Foster, it’s a matter of getting the facts out to the public. Part of the process of hosting ITER in Canada will be an environmental assessment through the regulatory bodies, says Mr. Foster. Town hall meetings will be taking place as part of that process, he says. “We really, real- ly are interested in hearing from the commu- nity.” While the community council Web site is not yet operational, the ITER Canada site is. It can be accessed at www.itercanada.com. Durham Relay for Life hits the track tonight BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Animal actor Bongo the lion and jockey Sandy Hawley have something more in common than fame. The two are cancer survivors and together they will lead the Os- hawa Relay for Life this Friday, June 1. The event, a non-competitive overnight relay, takes place for the first time in Durham Region this year. The relay involves teams of 10 to 12 people who will walk or run around the Oshawa Civic track for half-hour intervals from 8 p.m. Friday night to 8 a.m. Saturday. “People are getting really excited about it,” said Amey Mezzabotta, co-ordinator for the Durham Relay for Life. “There are 51 teams registered with a minimum of 10 people and 116 (cancer) survivors registered. Our goal was 40 teams. That to us would’ve been a success. It’s more than we hoped for.” The teams have come from all over Durham, said Ms. Mezzabotta, noting the preparations began in February and word has very quickly spread through the community. “People have been telling their family and friends and everyone has been wanting to get involved. It’s been excellent.” The event will begin with a survivors’ lap around the track,led by Mr. Hawley and Bongo, a performing lion who resides at the Bow- manville Zoo. Last year Bongo was diagnosed with fibro sarcoma, the most lethal form of can- cer known to infect cats. Today,10 months post- operative, Bongo is as frisky as ever, say his trainers. Mr. Hawley, the honourary chairman of the Durham relay, is a Durham resident and melanoma cancer survivor.

Available in White and Bisque NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 1, 2001 PAGE 13 A/P BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A top Durham Region neurosurgeon scheduled to appear in an Oshawa courtroom yesterday on numerous sexual assault charges was instead in hospi- tal undergoing surgery for prostate cancer, his lawyer told the court. Dr. Douglas F. Waller was to go on trial in April on charges of sexual assault and sexual interference involving a 13-year-old boy, but that case was adjourned when lawyer Bernie O’Brien re- vealed his client was extremely ill. Mr. O’Brien told Judge Hugh Campbell yes- terday Dr. Waller could not attend court to set a new date as he was having surgery for prostate cancer. The trial was rescheduled for April 2002. Meanwhile, a preliminary hearing on sex- related charges filed against Dr. Waller by 11 former patients, proceedings that are being held separately, was rescheduled for March 2002. In a later in- terview, Mr. O’Brien said he is optimistic about his client’s prognosis for a recovery. “We are anx- ious to demon- strate his inno- cence and only wish his medical condition allowed us to have an earlier trial date,” the Oshawa lawyer said. Dr. Waller, 60, of Pickering, was charged in July 1999 with sexually assault- ing a 13-year-old Whitby boy in a wash- room at The Bay department store at the Oshawa centre. In the months following his arrest, po- lice received 11 individual complaints from former male patients who allege they were sexually assaulted during appointments at the neurologist’s office between 1987 and 1998. Dr. Waller was released on bail and per- mitted to continue practising medicine at his office at the Oshawa Clinic, on King Street East, and at Lakeridge Health Os- hawa, with the restriction that he not exam- ine any patients unless accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old.

Durham Regional Police believe Charles Anthony Johnson, 38, fled the U.S. late last year, slipped into Canada illegally and has been living at various Oshawa addresses for several months, while obtaining a car and employment. Sgt. Bruce Townley, of 19 Division, said police recently received informa- tion from a concerned member of the community that Mr. Johnson was in the region. On Saturday, detectives waited outside his work and arrested the fugi- tive after stopping his car on Westney Road in Ajax at 2 p.m. Sgt. Townley said the man initially provided officers with a false name. Sgt. Townley said Mr. Johnson served three years in prison for child molestation in California before being released last year. He vanished around Christmas 2000 and a parole warrant was issued for his arrest, the officer said. After it was believed he had entered the country, Canada Immigration offi- cers issued a deportation order, Sgt. Townley said. “We think he’s been living at a num- ber of locations in Oshawa, he’s rather transient. We would like to know what attracted him here. There’s obviously some connection to the area, possibly friends, and it is something we’re look- ing into,” said Sgt. Townley, adding fed- eral officials are trying to determine how and at which border he slipped into the country unnoticed. Mr. Johnson is not suspected of sex- ual offences in the region, he said. He was briefly detained at the Whit- by Jail and transferred to Niagara, where he was turned over to U.S. Marshals on Tuesday, Sgt. Townley said. $20.00 $20.00 $20.00 Auto Barn (east of lights) (originally a Blacksmith shop circa 1890) Gallery Brougham (originally the schoolhouse built 1859) Brougham Hardware & Country Store (originally the temperance house circa 1880)Norman’s Fine Art (west of lights) (original house moved here from Greenwood circa 1850 Durham Iron & Metal (replaced original garage in 1950’s) a world away...right here in Pickering Brock Rd and Hwy 7 Come by for a visit!

The Gan Eden lands are located just south of the Uxbridge urban area on the Oak Ridges Moraine. “It shows the government has at least some appreciation of the concerns (about devel- opment on) the Moraine,” Mr. Walters added. Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Chris Hodgson announced the de- velopment moratorium yes- terday morning in Richmond Hill, the site of an ongoing battle over developers’ appli- cations to build 8,000 homes on the moraine. Mr. Hodgson tabled his legis- lation, dubbed the Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Act, 2001 later in the after- noon at Queen’s Park. All three parties approved the bill and it passed all three re- quired readings without delay. The Oak Ridges Moraine is an irregular ridge of sandy hills stretching 160 kilome- tres, from the Trent River in the east to the Niagara Es- carpment in the west. The moraine’s underground aquifers provide drinking water for 250,000 people. Effective yesterday and lasting until Nov. 17, the leg- islation will essentially pre- vent municipalities, including regional governments, from approving or accepting devel- opment applications involv- ing land on the moraine. It will also stay any devel- opment applications before the Ontario Municipal Board involving lands on the moraine. Alexandra Gillespie, a spokesman from Mr. Hodg- son’s office, confirmed the OMB hearing into Sandhill Aggregates’ development proposal for the hamlet of Coppins Corners will not begin Tuesday, May 22 at Uxbridge’s Town Hall as originally planned. According to Mr. Hodg- son, the reason for the gov- ernment’s six-month freeze on development is to allow time for the government, public, developers and inter- est groups to develop a long- term action plan to protect the moraine. “Areas that need to be pro- tected will be protected. Areas that need further study will be studied, and develop- ment applications in areas that clearly need no special protection will be able to pro- ceed according to clear, un- derstandable rules,” Mr. Hodgson said in a statement. Mr. Walters said he has concerns those comments by Mr. Hodgson may mean the government will look to chop up the moraine like a patch- work quilt. He said his preferred solution to protect the moraine would include a linear “green”corri- dor that would be free of de- velopment pressures. Uxbridge Conservation Association spokesman Brian Buckles said he be- lieves Mr. Hodgson’s legisla- tion is a positive step but is concerned about the length of the freeze. “They seem to be expect- ing to do an awful lot in six months,” Mr. Buckles said, citing the fact Premier Mike Harris recently said the Province would also re-ex- amine the provincial plan- ning act. As part of the development process for its “Smart Growth” strategy, the Province will host a round of 17 regional consultations with stakeholders and is launching a new Web site inviting public input.

Sometimes overlooked by gardeners intent on achieving a “one time cost” thereby favoring perennials or grasses, annuals can pro- vide dashes of pre- dictable colour with a minimum of care ~ no staking, no dividing required. Afew of the essential tasks the gardener must do for their annual flow- ers are: regular removal of faded or finished booms (dead-heading); supplemental watering during hot, humid or dry weather and regular feed- ing every two weeks with an all-purpose fertilizer. Annual flowers reward the gardener with a con- tinuous bloom period, producing flower after flower after flower for many months. Geraniums continue to be a ‘classic’ favorite in the sunny annual border, container, planting or hanging basket in many hues of red, pink, peach, and white. For best results, do not over water geraniums, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings, remove faded blooms and don’t forget fertilizing. Janice J. Donelle Horticulturist Pine Ridge Garden Gallery ADVERTISING FEATURE Impatiens and bego- nias are suited for the shady portions of the annual border and are usually one of the last plants still busy flower- ing when the hard frost hits in October. These plants will not only grow taller but also wider and a mixed border of differ- ent colours looks very full and lush. Impatiens and begonias are avail- able in both a single and double flower and a wide variety of colours. Another interesting annual for those shady areas of the garden is coleus - multi patterned leaves in a wide assort- ment of colours, sizes, and patterns. The petunias contin- ue to delight and amaze the gardener with new and exciting varieties and colors. When a fel- low gardener exclaims that they planted only one “new wave” petunia in their window box, they are not kidding - one petunia will not only fill the window box, they will overfill the box or planter with their vibrant, slightly fragrant blooms. For added fragrance in the garden the “queen” has to be heliotrope with alyssum continuing to be a favorite for edging bor- ders or tucked amongst other plants in containers or window boxes. If your foundation planting is complete per- haps the finishing touch would be decorative planters on the front porch or back deck over- flowing with your favorite choice of annuals or perhaps the cottage needs a few splashes of colour. Whatever your needs for annual flowers, now is the time to visit Pine Ridge Garden Gallery where you will find a great selection of annuals for both home and cottage in a wide assortment of sizes and styles. Until next week’s column on “Trees”, sit back and “VISION YOUR GARDEN” Annuals provide flowers for the garden up until frost ARNTS LOAM SUPPLY LTD. (905) 683-0887 • (416) 984-4332 THINK GREEN!

Dean Hachey and friends are on their way in bid to row across Canada BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING ––It’s amazing the ideas two friends sitting at a kitchen table can dream up. For instance, just over a year ago, Dean Hachey and Kevin Thomson came up with the crazy idea of ‘row- ing’ a road vehicle across Canada. Yet, on May 22, the two, along with, Mike McGuinness, Neil Phipps and Jono Willcocks, began to do just that, as they left Halifax, N.S. for Vancou- ver, B.C. “It’s a life-changing experience,” said Mr. Hachey, a Claremont resi- dent. People have crossed Canada by air, train, bus, bike, even by foot, but never by rowing. In fact the group, with the help of some British Colum- bia-based companies, had to design the ‘Road Boat’ they are driving. Their new mobile home is powered by rowing machine parts, is made of aluminium, weighs 280 pounds and fits all five. Four crew members are rowing at all times while the other acts as a dri- ver, steering and braking when need- ed. The team rotates positions every two hours, giving each member a much-deserved break. The team faces 16-hour days, not including a 15- minute break every two hours. A support crew of two RVs — one in front and one behind –– is carrying food and other essentials. So, the question has to be asked: why would anyone want to do this? For Mr. Hachey, he says it’s the chance at setting a world record, but more importantly, it’s a chance to see Canada in unique way while raising money for two charities. The Children’s Wish Foundation and Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association (CEWHA) will benefit from their miles at sea, er, on the road. Mr. Hachey has been working with CEWHA for eight years and is trying to raise $50,000 so the organi- zation can buy seven new wheel- chairs and pay for maintenance and referees for the next three years. “It’s a great hockey league,” he said. “The problem they are having right now is funds.” The league is asking for pledges of one cent for each of the 5,954 kilo- metres on the trip, however, any do- nation will be welcomed. A week before the trip began, the group had already raised about $11,000. “Literally its been hundreds and hundreds of hours of training,” said Mr. Hachey, who works full time at i2 Technologies in Markham. “(I have trained) from 5 in the morning until everybody had gone to bed.” One morning he actually fell asleep while training. With the help of a coach, the five went from never having rowed be- fore, to finishing 100 metres a day within a matter of months, to going 20 hours at once. Regardless of the toll the experi- ence takes on their bodies, Mr. Hachey said, “Everybody is mentally and completely convinced we can do this.” While the five have already re- ceived plenty of support they’re hop- ing well-wishers will visit their Web site at www.rowingacrosscanada.com and post a message. The site will be updated three times a day with pictures from the road, and the team will be reading the messages while away. Mr. Hachey asks anyone wishing to donate to the CEWHA to e-mail him at dean_hachey@i2.com with his or her name, address, phone number and donation amount. The donations are tax deductible and receipts will be given. People wishing to donate to the Children’s Wish Foundation can visit its Web site at www.childrenswish.ca.

Following are the new movie releases being screened this weekend at cin- emas in Ajax and Pickering: MOULIN ROUGE Starring Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor. Directed by Baz Luhrmann. Picture this: A sepia- coloured rooftop studio, the icons of 19th century Paris out the window. A garrulous tribe of hand- coloured Bohemians led by Toulouse Lautrec are impro- vising a revolutionary musi- cal due to open the Moulin Rouge night club — and not making much headway. Then, one of the bohos trips over the cord of their ab- sinthetron/ synthesiser and they all pile through young wannabe Bohemian poet Christian’s roof. A pop-pre- scient talent who spouts the greatest love songs of the un- born 20th century, Christian is the answer to their prob- lems, so the idealistic Christ- ian is drawn into the dark, fantastical underworld of the Parisian nightclub. (Famous Players Pick- ering 8 Cinemas, Pickering Town Centre). THE ANIMAL Starring: Rob Schneider, Ed- ward Asner, Colleen Haskell. Directed by Luke Greenfield. Marvin Mange will soon have the strength of a mountain lion, the agility of a chim- panzee and the af- fections of... a goat? His life is going to be a zoo thanks to a weird experiment that invites him to take a walk on the wild side. A police evi- dence file clerk, Marvin dreams of becoming a full- fledged cop like his dad. One night, while Mar- vin is left alone at the precinct, he answers a 911 call. There’s a robbery in progress, and with no one to assist, a bungling Marvin races to the scene. The bad guys get away, and Marvin ends up in a near-fatal car crash. As he is pulled from the wreckage by a shadowy figure, he has no idea he is about to become the guinea pig for a bizarre procedure. His rescuer, the eccentric Dr. Wilder (Michael Caton), has cracked the genetic code. In his pri- vate barnyard lab, he repairs Marvin’s body with a strange fusion of animal organs, in- cluding those from a per- forming sea lion and a talent- ed dog, to name a few. When he returns to his job at the station, Marvin has no memory of Wilder’s proce- dure. As the animals within him start to take over, Mar- vin’s world gets more unpre- dictable by the minute. (Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas, Pickering Town Centre, Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas). WHAT’S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN? Starring Martin Lawrence, Danny DeVito. Directed by Sam Weisman. Kevin and Max have made careers out of stealing: Kevin Caffrey (Lawrence) is a professional thief with a taste for the finer things, while billionaire Max Fair- banks (DeVito) is a ruthless businessman used to getting whatever he wants. When Kevin targets Max’s supposedly unoccu- pied beachfront mansion for an easy night-time heist, he interrupts Max in a bathtub tryst with Miss September, and the tables are turned.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU I ’m getting very excited again! International Dairy Queen will rock the city of Pickering when we roll out the newest DQ Royal Treat THE BROWNIE EARTHQUAKE this week. I’m sure the shock waves will record a ten on the Richter Scale. Let me explain what prompted International Dairy Queen to come out with this new product. Do you remember the Hot Fudge Brownie Delight and the Fudge cake Supreme? When they were discontinued by IDQ there was a lot of complaints. This is the new improved product and I’m pleased to say that it is the DESSERT OF DESSERTS. First we start with the Brownie. Dairy Queen went to Mr. Christie to bake a special Oreo brownie for this dessert which is moist and chewy and filled with Oreo. You know the kind of brownies you get in that brown bag that melt in your mouth. Those Oreo brownies and a glass of ice cold milk would do it for me! After the two Oreo brownies are placed in the side of the dish a heaping mound of our famous DQ soft serve is spindled in. Our server then goes over to the stainless steel hot fudge pump where our private label hot fudge is kept at 140 degrees. No one else sells this exclusive blend of hot fudge which is one of the reasons people keep coming back for our products like the Peanut Buster Parfait, the Pecan Mudslide and the Chocolate Rock. The Brownie Earthquake will be no exception. A generous pump of hot fudge is sent cascading down over that mound of soft serve pooling on top of those moist brownies. Mmmm Good! Lets start now! Where’s my fork? But that’s not all. IDQ wanted something sweet and creamy so we now spiral a pump of our marshmallow topping around the top. Now here is the big one. In 16 years IDQ has never allowed blizzard toppings to be put on any other products. But in co- operation with Christies the new Brownie Earthquake will send tremors through the store when we sprinkle Oreo cookie pieces on top! Oh my! Oreo Brownies! Oreo Cookie! DQ Soft Serve! Marshmallow! Hot Fudge! And there’s more! To make his dessert complete two portions of Rich’s chilled whipped topping (prepared right here in the store) are dispensed on either side of this majestic mouth watering combination of ingredients. A final tribute to decadence. If you’re always a sweet person try it without the marshmallow topping. There is always something exciting happening at the Pickering Dairy Queen. As one of the mother’s said to me on a recent Friday night with the store filled with parents and teenagers. Charles this is a “happenin” place! Enjoy the coupon this week and meet me at DQ! This coupon in not redeemable with any other coupon or special offer. Sales tax extra. One per customer per visit. Expires June 15, 2001 FREE TACO SALAD with the purchase of the same.

While much has changed along today’s Mississippi, at least one stretch of ‘Old Man River’ hasn’t lost its turn-of-the-century charm — Wis- consin’s Great River Road. Meandering 250 miles along the majestic Mississippi River, Wisconsin’s Great River Road Na- tional Scenic Byway travels past towering limestone bluffs, wildlife areas and charming river towns alive with history. An eclectic mix of unique shopping, dining and sightseeing experiences, the route begins a mere half-hour from Min- neapolis/St. Paul International Air- port, in the town of Prescott. Located at the convergence of the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers, Prescott is Wisconsin’s old- est river town. It boasts a heritage centre, river walkway, park and marina. Below Prescott lies Stock- holm, Wisconsin’s oldest Swedish settlement. This charming ‘village of gardens’ is home to numerous antique shops and the Stockholm Institute museum. Laura Ingalls Wilder spent her early childhood in nearby Pepin. A replica of her famous log cabin can be seen at the Little House Wayside. History buffs will also enjoy the Pepin Historical Muse- um and the Pepin Railroad Muse- um, while boaters, anglers and birdwatchers will be drawn to beau- tiful Lake Pepin and the 13,000- acre Tiffany Wildlife Area. Further south, Victorian archi- tecture is on dis- play in the tiny villages of Trem- peleau and Alma. Trempeleau’s Main Street buildings, which date to the 1890s, and the entire town of Alma, are listed on the Na- tional Register of Historic Places. In addition to turn-of-the-centu- ry homes and charming antique shops, Alma’s Rieck’s Lake Park is nationally known for its an- nual fall migra- tion of tundra swans and other waterfowl. Victorian-era transportation takes centre stage in La Crosse, home of the Julia Belle Swain riverboat, one of just six re- maining paddlewheelers on the Mississippi. Nestled 600 feet be- neath Grandad Bluff, La Crosse also hosts one of the largest Okto- berfest celebrations outside of Germany. In Vernon and Crawford coun- ties, travellers can visit Amish farms and purchase handmade Amish quilts from roadside stands. Visitors can also tour Villa Louis in Prairie du Chien, an ex- quisitely restored 1870s mansion deemed “one of the finest Victori- an restorations in the United States”. Further south in Cassville are the Eagle Nature Preserve, a haven for migrating bald eagles, and Stonefield Village, an 1890s repli- ca frontier community. Potosi is home to the St. John Lead Mine, where visitors can tour over 40 sites from the 1827 ‘lead rush’. Travellers to Dickeyville can see the Dickeyville Grotto, a unique folk-art shrine built in the early 20th century.

In fact, the sophomore at the University of Illinois has garnered two of the most pres- tigious awards on the colle- giate track scene of late. Last Tuesday night in Eu- gene, Oregon, Felicien re- ceived the United States Track Coaches Association’s (USTCA) national female ath- lete of the year award. The coaches within the association vote on the award. “I’m very appreciative of the award, but I never expected something like this to happen so fast,” said Felicien in a story posted on the school athletic Web site. “I feel like all of my hard work is being recognized, because this is an award that’s coming from all the coaches across the nation.” Felicien was first chosen as the USTCA’s mid-west region athlete of the year, and then was picked as the national re- cipient from all the winners in nine regions throughout the U.S. Illinois women’s track coach Gary Winckler was thrilled for Felicien. “This is an honour for Perdita, and based on the kind of year she has had and the fact that she’s been the world leader for the majority of the year and the NCAA leader the entire year, I think it’s a very deserved award,” said Winck- ler on the Web site. “Typically this award goes to a senior. It says a lot about what kind of a season Perdita had, to the fact that she got the attention of the coaches as a sophomore and they voted her athlete of the year.” In addition to this national achievement, Felicien was also honoured as the Big Ten con- ference’s women’s outdoor athlete of the year for the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic As- sociation division 1 conference last week. It has been a season of su- perlatives for the graduate of Pine Ridge Secondary School. She’s presently the NCAA’s top-ranked athlete in the 100- metre hurdles. She won her first Big Ten championship in the event earlier this month, running a sizzling 12.73 sec- onds in the final. It was not only her personal best, but also represented an NCAA-leading time and an Illinois school record. She was also part of Illinois’s world record-setting shuttle relay team at the Drake Relays in Iowa. Felicien will cap an out- standing season by running at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. The event got under way on Thursday, with Felicien running in the preliminary heats. Following the collegiate season, Felicien is expected to run for Canada at the World Track and Field Champi- onships in Edmonton in Au- gust. She represented Canada in the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. U.S. track coaches name Felicien top female athlete DURHAM —High School dragon boat crews from Durham will hit the water this Sunday to take part in what organizers hope will be an annual event on French- man’s Bay. The High School Dragonboat Challenge takes to the water at Bruce Handscombe Park in the West Shore area of Pickering starting at 9 a.m. and ending at approximately 3 p.m. Twelve teams will take part. Organized by the West Rouge Canoe Club, it’s hoped the event will become something of an annu- al event for area secondary school students to take part in, said Scott Murray of the canoe club. “This is the first event and we would like to see it develop into an Ontario championship. There hasn’t been an Ontario championship (for dragon boat racing) in the past, so we’re hoping this will be the begin- ning of something big,” he said. Local teams participating in- clude two entries from St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, and one team each from Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School and Dunbarton High School, all from Pickering. Ajax will be represented with a crew from Pickering High School. Other teams include Cedarbrae Collegiate, Mowat Collegiate (two teams) and Mary Ward from Scarborough, Unionville High School, Whitby’s Anderson Collegiate and an exhibi- tion crew. Dragon boat crews consist of 20 paddlers, a helmsman and a drum- mer to keep the rhythm. Races cover a distance of 500 metres. The high school challenge will serve as a preamble to the annual Pickering Dragonboat Challenge on Saturday, June 9, also at Bruce Handscombe Park, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. More than 50 crews are expected to compete in four categories: high school, bank, women’s and open. Again, the West Rouge Canoe Club will organize the event as its biggest fund-raiser of the year. The club serves both Durham and Scar- borough paddlers. There is no admission for specta- tors at either event. ••• The West Rouge Canoe Club host an open house for high school paddlers this Saturday, June 2 at the club’s Pickering location on Beach- point Promenade (on Frenchman’s Bay) from 1 to 4 p.m. News Advertiser file photo PICKERING ––Pickering hurdler Perdita Felicien was ho- noured as the United States Track Coaches Association’s na- tional female athlete of the year. She was also named the Big Ten Conference’s female Track and field athlete of the year. The University of Illinois athlete will attempt to claim the gold medal in her specialty, the 100-metre hurdles, at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon this weekend.

By Susan Gillett (Advertising Feature) The first person appeared at 7:30 a.m., even though the doors were not slated to open until 10 a.m. Within 20 minutes of opening, the facility boasted 1500 people inside, with hundreds lined up outside. What was this exciting event? The Employment Expo!generously funded by Human Resources Development Canada and produced by the Durham District School Board and Durham Continuing Education, at the Metro East Trade Centre on May 23, 2001. What were the results of this day that culminated 3 months of intense preparation by a small but dynamic planning team? Ten thousand people came through the doors from as far away as Toronto to meet recruiters from 75 key area companies such as Ontario Power Generation, Durham Region, and the OPP. These companies were taking advantage of the event to fill their currently available jobs, including full-time, part-time, and summer jobs. Lots of positions! Also, the Expo was especially unique because the DREN group arranged for a comprehensive display of assistive devices for persons with disabilities. Their exhibits and attitude, in fact, earned them the award for being the friendliest exhibitor of the expo. How did the exhibitors feel after? John Ferguson, of Wrigley Canada was thrilled. "We got 600 GOOD resumes," he said. The people from Deer Creek and Glen Cedars Golf Course also felt the event was phenomenal from an employer's perspective. They received 250 qualified resumes too! All the exhibitors were eager to book for next year's event by the day's end! The Planning Team would like to personally thank the many people who assisted us so generously in making this huge event the overwhelming success that it was. This includes Sharyn Little of HRDC, Rhonda Christian of Durham College and Cathy Grant of the Pickering Public Library. We would also like to thank the many people in the community who contributed their time and expertise, the media and advertising suppliers who worked with us so patiently, the exhibitors, Chairman Mills, the staff at the Metro East Trade Centre, and of course, the wonderful staff, both office and custodial, at E. A. Lovell. The event was definitely the result of many people helping a little and a lot. And it sure showed. See you next year!

In fact, the sophomore at the University of Illinois has garnered two of the most prestigious awards on the collegiate track scene of late. Last Tuesday night in Eugene, Oregon, Felicien received the United States Track Coaches Associa- tion’s (USTCA) national fe- male athlete of the year award. The coaches within the association vote on the award. “I’m very appreciative of the award, but I never ex- pected something like this to happen so fast,” said Feli- cien in a story posted on the school athletic Web site. “I feel like all of my hard work is being recognized, be- cause this is an award that’s coming from all the coaches across the nation.” Felicien was first chosen as the USTCA’s mid-west region athlete of the year, and then was picked as the national recipient from all the winners in nine regions throughout the U.S. Illinois women’s track coach Gary Winckler was thrilled for Felicien. “This is an honour for Perdita, and based on the kind of year she has had and the fact that she’s been the world leader for the majori- ty of the year and the NCAA leader the entire year, I think it’s a very de- served award,” said Winck- ler on the Web site. “Typi- cally this award goes to a senior. It says a lot about what kind of a season Perdi- ta had, to the fact that she got the attention of the coaches as a sophomore and they voted her athlete of the year.” In addition to this nation- al achievement, Felicien was also honoured as the A PAGE 42 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 1, 2001 Big Ten conference’s women’s outdoor athlete of the year for the National Col- legiate Athletic Association division 1 conference last week. It has been a season of superlatives for the graduate of Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School. She’s presently the NCAA’s top-ranked athlete in the 100- metre hurdles. She won her first Big Ten championship in the event earlier this month, running a sizzling 12.73 seconds in the final. It was not only her personal best, but also represented an NCAA-leading time and an Illinois school record. She was also part of Illi- nois’s world record-setting shuttle relay team at the Drake Relays in Iowa. Felicien will cap an outstanding season by running at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. The event got under way on Thursday, with Felicien running in the preliminary heats. Following the collegiate season, Fe- licien is expected to run for Canada at the World Track and Field Champi- onships in Edmonton in August. She represented Canada in the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. DURHAM —The Toronto Tour 14-and-under roller hockey team finished fourth at a qualifying tour- nament at Joe Dumars Fieldhouse in Detroit last weekend. The Detroit tournament is a qualifying event for the North American Roller Hockey Championship and usually attracts many of the top teams from Michigan and Ontario. Despite winning all three of their round-robin games, Toronto, which includes several players from Ajax and Pickering, was seeded third overall because of the goals-against tiebreaker rule. Tour had seven goals against, while Honeybaked had two and Team Hyper Detroit had three. Toronto was matched against fourth-seed Team Nexed in the playoffs. In an entertaining game with goals being traded back and forth, Nexed took a 6-4 lead with a few minutes left, only to have Tour make the game exciting by scoring with 1:10 remaining. Nexed scored an empty-net marker to make the final 7-5. Thus, Toronto suffered its first loss of the season, having won all of its previ- ous eight games and a tour- nament in Brampton. In the first game of the round robin, the speedy Toronto squad soundly de- feated the Devils 8-0. In the second game, Tour took a quick 3-0 lead over Nexed and then relaxed too much. Nexed battled back to make it close, forcing Tour to add some extra goals to win 7-5. Toronto mercied a physi- cal Canucks team in the third game, 10-2. Team members are Ryan Annesley, Quinn Caggiula, Jason Crete, Kyle Cunning- ham, Andrew Dissanayake, Danny Lefort, Liam Red- dox, James Ronald, John Scrymgeour, Kyle Tate, Chris Vanonlangs, and Kyle Zettler. The team is coached by Rob van Onlangs and Ken Mulgrew.
