DURHAM ––Education Minister and Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker charmed young competitors in the Durham Regional Spelling Bee, co-organized by the Ajax-Pickering News Ad- vertiser, during the final competition last Saturday at Durham College. Here, Ms. Ecker shows the kids a special ‘bee’caricature drawn for her by News Advertiser contributing cartoonist Tim Do- lighan and presented at the finals.

Ecker offers help to board Mediation talks possible at Durham trustees’request BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The war of words between some Durham public school trustees shows no sign of abating. But Education Minister Janet Ecker says depending on what trustees’ request, ministry staff may be able to provide some help in sort- ing out matters. Following an in-camera meeting Monday night, the Durham District School Board’s Whitby trustees, Elizabeth Roy and Doug Ross, sug- gested it might be necessary for the Province to get involved to deal with the issue. In a Thursday interview, Ms. Ecker said she has certainly heard complaints from local residents about the conduct of the trustees. “Parents have been expressing their displeasure; they’re not happy with this kind of bickering amongst trustees,” she said. While it is not up to her to solve “interpersonal” disputes between trustees, Ms. Ecker said the ministry is willing to assist them. “If ministry staff can assist them in mediating conflict, we’re certain- ly prepared to provide them assis- tance,” said Ms. Ecker, adding a for- mal request from the board would not be needed for the ministry to get involved. “I would hope, as elected trustees accountable to taxpayers, they could work out these problems amongst themselves.” At issue is a May 14 meeting at- tended by six trustees. Trustee Roy, the board chairman, issued those trustees a censure letter this week for that meeting, saying it was held illegally. The censured trustees are Ajax trustees Melinda Crawford and Marilyn Crawford, Pickering Ten-digit dialing starts Saturday Let your fingers do more walking June 9 DURHAM —Effective this Saturday, it’s 10 digits or it’s nothing. Local 10-digit dialing is mandatory as of June 9 for all voice and data calls made in the 905 area. It means you’ll have to dial the area code and then the seven-digit number to have the call go through. Local calls made with only seven digits will be interrupted by a recorded announcement reminding the caller to dial the full 10-digit number. Howev- er, the call won’t go through after the reminder. You’ll have to hang up and try the call again. There are no changes to 911, 411 or 611 calls, as the area code isn’t required.

Michelle Semotiuk, School Community Council (SCC) chair- man, and SCC member John Kehoe appeared before the standing com- mittee, seeking a place in the board’s next accommodation plan. The Durham District School Board will unveil a new accommo- dation plan in the fall, setting out a five-year course for building new schools and additions to existing ones. School communities from across Durham are lobbying to get See DURHAM page 2 P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 8, 2001 Durham trustees continue war of words Trustee Paul Crawford, Oshawa trustees Cynthia Steffen and Susan Shetler, and Scugog Trustee Mar- tin Demmers. But, one of those trustees in an interview said she and her col- leagues did nothing wrong. Trustee Shetler said trustees were well aware of the request from five colleagues to have a spe- cial meeting. Trustee Roy was al- ready at the Education Centre for another meeting that day and was invited to stay for the special meet- ing, she said. “She did not say ‘no’,...,” said Trustee Shetler. “She said she would be unavailable to be there because she had an SCC meeting. At no time did she say ‘no’. At no time did she say it was not a sanctioned meeting.” Trustee Roy in an interview flatly denied those assertions. While she does not dispute the meeting was requested, Trustee Roy said she informed Trustee Shetler personally the day of the proposed meeting that it would not take place. Trustee Shetler said “nothing untoward has gone on here other than a few differing opinions and a few hotheads.” Pickering Trustee Paul Craw- ford maintained the meeting was “perfectly legitimate. “It’s really simple,” he said. “If five trustees ask for a meeting it happens, period.” Education director Grant Yeo said after a request for a special meeting, the board chairman de- velops the agenda and gives notice to trustees of the meeting time and place. The public is informed and the chairman conducts the meeting based on the agenda sent to all trustees. But trustees originally didn’t request a special board meeting, said Mr. Yeo. He under- stood the trustees wanted to com- plete the business left on the May 7 standing committee agenda. Ac- cording to the May 14 meeting minutes he received two days later, the trustees in question convened a special board meeting, the first time he was aware such a meeting had taken place. When a trustee asked him to distribute the minutes of the meet- ing, Mr. Yeo said he refused. “What surprised me was when that meeting... became a special board meeting,” he said. Mr. Yeo said “it’s a really dan- gerous precedent” to suggest, as he has read in comments in the press, that when six trustees are present, they are the board of trustees. Ms. Ecker, meanwhile, said trustees “are letting this fight over- shadow the good things that are happening” at the board. Pickering school full on the list so their schools’ needs can be addressed. Valley Farm P.S. currently has 11 portables, nine of which are in use, where grades 3 to 6 classes are held. With 744 students, the school is 59 per cent over ca- pacity. “It’s these portables that are a real concern among staff, parents and members of the SCC,” said Mr. Kehoe. He said while the school’s population has levelled off, it is not expected to decrease. The crowded conditions impact on delivering the cur- riculum in that there is a lack of space for drama re- hearsals, art supplies, and artwork displays and other learning materials, Mr. Kehoe told trustees. An addition would be “a lasting solution” to these problems, said Mr. Kehoe. In an interview, Jack Massie, the board’s facilities services superintendent, said while other elementary schools have more portables, it is a point in the SCC’s favour that the school popu- lation is expected to remain steady.

Pickering councillors Maurice Brenner and Rick Johnson had proposed the Region look into the possibility of including a contri- bution form with this year’s tax bills that would allow taxpayers to make a donation to local health-care facilities. But, after meeting with area treasurers recently, Durham’s fi- nance commissioner Jim Clapp is recommending council turn down the proposal because the program would result in additional costs to municipalities and would require extra staff to issue tax receipts, maintain records and remit any funds to the hospitals. “It was generally agreed that hospitals in Durham are likely better equipped administratively than municipalities to handle a voluntary donation program and that the participation in such a program should be left up to the discretion of each individual local municipality,” Mr. Clapp stated in a written report to the committee. Clarington Mayor John Mut- ton said at Wednesday’s commit- tee meeting that his council has already dealt with the issue and voted unanimously against the proposal because of the addition- al administrative costs that would be incurred. He noted municipal staff have already been “burdened” with changes in assessment and gov- ernment tax policies this year and said the proposal would require hiring additional staff, which Clarington is not prepared to do. He added Clarington council- lors were also “worried about being asked to match the contri- butions next year at the Regional level”. Mayor Mutton did say his mu- nicipality is planning to work with Lakeridge Health Bow- manville to help raise awareness of the need for funding. “We’ll take care of Lakeridge Health Bowmanville in our own way,” he told his colleagues. Meanwhile, Mr. Clapp pointed out property owners who live in apartments, corporate tenants and homeowners whose tax bills are directed to mortgage companies for payment would not receive the voluntary hospital contribu- tion flyer with their bills. He also noted there will be several other inserts sent to prop- erty owners with their tax bills this year because of changes in the new standard property tax forms being used, and additional inserts may only cause misunder- standings. “The Region should not be in- volved as (it) does not perform the tax billing or collection func- tion,” Mr. Clapp maintained. “Moreover, any further involve- ment will only incur additional administrative costs to taxpayers which have not been budgeted in 2001.” The issue will be addressed at Durham council June 13.

Visit our Web site at durhamregion.com Board drafts plan to deal with summer school hiring woes DURHAM — Norm Powers, operations su- perintendent at the Durham District School Board, is bring- ing a report to the June 18 board meeting to update trustees on the summer school program. The Ontario Secondary School Teach- ers’ Federation has issued a ‘pink letter’ against the board, he noted. The letter advis- es teachers not to apply for or accept any teaching posi- tion or position of added re- sponsibility with the board until a new con- tract is negotiat- ed. Mr. Powers said it has re- sulted in the board not being able to attract teachers for its secondary sum- mer school pro- gram. “Hopefully we’ll be able to come up with an alternate plan,” he said. The public will be informed as soon as the board deter- mines a course of action, said Mr. Powers, in response to a trustee’s ques- tion. bath n bed 9x30 Our Lease Is Up In AjaxOur Lease Is Up In Ajax STORESTORE CLOSINGCLOSINGIsIs HARWOOD & KINGSTON RD.

To the editor: I attended the June 4 standing com- mittee meeting of the Durham District School Board at which time Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper made a motion that the director of education make a pre- sentation at the Toronto sitting of the public hearings on the proposed educa- tion tax credit for private schools, or, if a time could not be reserved for our board at the hearings, then a written submis- sion be delivered. As this is a public school board then the presentation will, I assume, be in op- position to the proposed tax credit. The motion to have the director speak barely passed. Why? The only reasonable ex- planation is we have public school board trustees who do not support public edu- cation. So why are they there? It is incumbent upon each and every public school supporter to telephone dis- senting trustees Martin Demmers of Scu- gog, Paul Crawford of Pickering and Cynthia Steffen of Oshawa and abstain- ing trustee Susan Shetler of Oshawa to question their non-support of public edu- cation and call for their resignations as public school board trustees. Our public education system has been under attack from all sides but who would ever dream their own public school board trustee would mutiny? If these trustees are unwilling to provide support to their own board then what is their agenda in our public school sys- tem? Please note these same four above- named trustees were part of the so-called ‘secret’ May 14 board meeting... maybe they are intending to set up their own pri- vate school system with our hard-earned tax dollars. Good riddance!

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 8, 2001 There are only three inescapable certainties in life — death, taxes and the Maple Leafs’ playoff hopes being dashed before real leaves are out on the maples. It’s as inevitable as the bad boy being chased on ‘Cops’ not wearing a shirt. That’s why I count not being a fan a blessing. There are already enough sources of frustration in my life without adding the Leafs to them. Still, a great number of locals do care about the ‘Buds’and for them it’s been a particularly trying spring. As if 34 straight years of futility wasn’t enough for them to endure, there was added insult to their injury. There was the selling out of revered and retired Wendel Clark. One can’t turn on the radio these days without hearing ‘No. 17’ plugging a line of uniforms and suggesting a gas bar jockey or security guard wearing that uniform is going to feel the same pride Wendel did while sporting the Leafs jersey. Sure, there is dignity in any job done well, be it guarding a goal-crease in front of thousands or guarding a de- serted lot by night, (and there’s more dignity in either than in being a mere corporate shill) but the ad is still ludi- crous. Children play shinny on frozen ponds every winter, dreaming of win- ning the Stanley Cup; seldom do they stare at a construction site dreaming of a career watching it every day for min- imum wage. Then there was the infamous Tie Domi incident. Domi seemingly tried to decapitate a New Jersey player with his elbow. The result was his suspen- sion,a Devil’s concussion and a loss of momentum by Toronto that went on to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Days later, the team’s general man- ager, Pat Quinn, angrily grabbed a smaller newspaper photographer by the throat and shoved him aside be- cause, as he told the cameraman, “You were in my way!” Quinn was fined by the NHL for his hotheaded act. All things considered, it may be hard for even true blue fans to feel good about their beloved team this year. Yet while Wendel’s claims might be preposterous, we have an opposi- tion leader in Ottawa who campaigned on a platform of personal responsibili- ty while leaving taxpayers on the hook for his own personal legal debts. Domi’s a tough guy, but can his comic-book villainy compare to that of MP Tom Wappel who refused to help an 81-year-old constituent be- cause the vet hadn’t voted for him? Pat Quinn? Not the first time we’ve seen someone in the federal spotlight throttle somebody in a crowd — is it Jean Chretien?

That’s bad news for Durham’s pub- lic school students, parents, teachers and staff. Instead of spending their time worrying about the board’s jeop- ardized summer school program, its accommodation plan and its budget, trustees, split into two clear factions, are fighting constant- ly. This would be less worrisome if we had an election coming up this fall; but the next election is two-and-a-half years away. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross and board Chairman Elizabeth Roy are so perplexed and frustrated by the behaviour of some of their colleagues, they’ve considered requesting Education Minister Janet Ecker intervene in the stalemate. Chairman Roy goes so far as to suggest a complete “dismantling” of the board might be required. Such extreme measures are unlikely at best and a clear violation of the democratic process. Whether trustees Ross and Roy like it or not, all trustees were democratically and indisputably elected to their positions just seven months ago, entrusted to represent their constituents for a three-year term. Removal of trustees is not a trivial matter. The Education Act states trustees can only be forced to leave by committing an in- dictable offence or by missing three consecutive board meetings without cause. That’s clearly not the case in this situation. Rob Savage, spokesman for Minister Ecker, said trustees met with the minister just one week ago. He added, “It’s certainly the minister’s view and our view at this point that the board should be working to resolve its issues and to focus on delivering a good ed- ucation.” Education ministry spokesman Dave Ross (no relation to Trustee Doug) told this newspaper the Education Act does not allow the minister to arbitrarily intervene in internal school board matters. That said, we echo the frustration voiced by trustees Ross and Roy. This battle between the two factions involving allegations of ‘secret meetings’ and backdoor dealings is a result of huge differ- ences in ideologies. Trustees,elected to positions of leadership,must take a hard look in the mirror, read over their trustee handbooks, and come to the only reasonable conclusion about why they are on the board: their job is to serve students, parents, teachers and staff. Their mission is to work to improve and maintain the best educational programs, fa- cilities and staff for the students who are so dependent on their ac- tions. Their task is not to tacitly undermine the role of Durham’s public school board while pursuing their personal agendas — reli- gious or otherwise. This board of trustees, all 11 of them, has to sit down together and agree to work toward the job they were elected to do.

The Durham District School Board trustee in- troduced the no- tice of motion at the end of Mon- day’s standing committee meet- ing. Trustee Craw- ford said the in- tent is to avoid unnecessary trustee motions. As well, such a process would foster open com- munication amongst trustees, who could pool their collective knowledge and experience to ad- dress matters. The sessions, which she sug- gested should last around 20 min- utes, would also “assure con- stituents their concerns are being heard,” she said. Nancy Lo- raine, standing committee chair- man and Brock- Uxbridge trustee, expressed some discomfort with discussing such issues in private. In an inter- view, she said the proposed discus- sion topics are not really appro- priate for in-cam- era meetings, and if discussed in that context would require board staff to be present. As well, Trustee Loraine said two trustees previously raised the issue of such talks, which they envisioned would take place in a more informal setting. “The whole idea was this will be a time that trustees could just have conversations with each other without being confined to thinking of it in terms of a meeting,” she ex- plained. After Trustee Crawford introduced the motion, Trustee Loraine at the meeting said, “I’m wondering if you want to consider holding off on that.” Trustee Crawford let her colleague, Pick- ering Trustee Paul Crawford, respond to that suggestion. “My idea would be that we discuss it at the next board (meeting),” he said. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to delay a good idea.” Legion hosts bingo PICKERING ––Cash prizes are up for grabs at a bingo being hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606, 1555 Bayly St. (west of Brock Road) in Pickering.

Durham gets cash for water plant study Municipal federation plants $100,000 in Durham’s lap DURHAM —A design study for a new water pollution control plant in Courtice has been select- ed as one of 61 projects across the country that will receive environ- mental grants from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). FCM president Joanne Mon- aghan announced during the fed- eration’s annual conference in Banff, Alberta last week that more than $3.6 million will be disbursed to 48 municipalities across Canada under the federa- tion’s green municipal fund and the green municipal enabling fund. “We are pleased and proud of the leadership and outstanding ideas municipalities have devel- oped to protect the environment and improve the quality of their citizens’ lives,” she said. The Region will receive a $100,000 grant from the federa- tion towards a pre-design study for a new water pollution control plant. Durham works commissioner Jack McCorkell said Wednesday the Region applied for funding for six projects under the program and the design study was the only one approved. Thom Sloley, Durham’s man- ager of environmental services design, said the Region will begin the study this fall. The plant will be designed over the following year, with con- struction slated to take place from 2003 to 2005, he said, noting the plant will be located at the bottom of Courtice Road and will service the municipalities of Courtice and Oshawa. Mr. McCorkell noted a report outlining all the Region’s grant applications and the status of each project will be included in the agenda for the next works committee meeting on June 20.

As the first full-time member of the Durham Re- gional Police Computer Crime Unit, his weapons of choice these days are a keypad and mouse. The veteran officer is taking policing in Durham into the 21st century with the creation of a cyber- squad to assist in major crime investigations. While the rapid ad- vancement of technology has opened a new world of opportunity for criminal activity –– child pornogra- phy distribution, cyber- stalking, hacking, virus spreading, counterfeiting, etc. –– more and more po- lice forces are creating armies of cyber cops to keep up with the bad guys. And, much like police rely on fingerprints and DNA as investigative tools, computers are proving to be their latest crime-fight- ing weapon. “The last few years we’ve been dealing with an increasing number of of- fences involving comput- ers. “Not long ago most computer-related crime re- lated to fraud, but today just about any offence you can think of involves com- puters,” says Det. Const. Bradley. A year after the unit was born, it has been a key component in investiga- tions ranging from domes- tic-related offences, threat- ening, child pornography, major frauds, thefts, sexual assault and homicide cases, says Detective Sergeant Ken Anderson, the officer in charge of the robbery, fraud and comput- er units. While large police agencies in Canada like the RCMP and major forces in the U.S. have formed spe- cialized squads to combat computer-related crime, Durham is only the second department in the GTA to create a full-time unit. And given the demands on the unit in the past year,Det. Sgt. Anderson hopes to have a second of- ficer in the squad by 2002. The unit is tasked with investigations into illegal transmission, use or stor- age of electronic data, preparation and execution of search warrants for computer seizures and downloading information to be used in court. here investi- gators rou- tinely searched a suspect’s business or private records, it is now common practice for police to ob- tain court orders to seize computer systems from a suspect’s home or office when combing for clues. “Information that used to be stored in a filing cab- inet is now being stored electronically in computer files. So instead of follow- ing a paper trail of evi- dence, we’re tracking an electronic trail,” Det. Const. Bradley explains. “It used to be people communicated primarily by telephone. You could say that computers, specif- ically the Internet, have now replaced the phone as the new medium for com- munication,” Det. Const. Bradley says. Gone are the days when computer users could hide behind the keyboard, he adds. “There used to be a feel- ing of anonymity when people were using the In- ternet, but now with log- ging and monitoring fea- tures the anonymity is de- creasing,” the officer says. Much like forensic ex- amination of a crime scene, searching, dissect- ing and downloading data from computer hard drive is a slow and painstaking process, Det. Const. Bradley says. A hard-drive can contain thousands of files and finding that one crucial piece of evidence can sometimes be like lo- cating a needle in a haystack. “It can be a difficult challenge. Where it be- comes a long, arduous task is when the offences being investigated relate to sever- al different files,” he says. Depending on the level of knowledge and sophisti- cation of the criminal mind, key evidence may be hidden or disguised within a system in various ways. “Most hard-drives today have 20 gigabytes. That’s a pretty big filing cabinet to search,” says Det. Const. Bradley, noting a thorough forensic search of an entire computer system can take hundreds of hours over several months to com- plete. For example, when an Oshawa soccer coach was arrested three years ago for sexually assaulting a team player it took Det. Const. Bradley three months of “round the clock” work to complete the search of a computer seized from the man’s home. In addition to sexual as- sault, the man was also convicted of possession of child pornography on the basis of the evidence found on the computer. year ago, Det. Const. Bradley as- sisted in an investigation that traced the author of a series of e-mails vowing death to a dozen Claring- ton students. Another computer crime reported with in- creasing frequency is “cyber-stalking,” the latest trend in criminal harass- ment whereby an anony- mous stalker relentlessly e- mails unwanted messages to a victim at home or work. Former spouses, co- workers and chat-room users are the most common targets. “For example, a couple breaks up and there’s on- going communication. But instead of sending flowers and showing up unwanted at the door, it’s much easi- er to bombard a victim with e-mails as a form of criminal harassment. It’s the same crime, but in a different form,” says Det. Const. Bradley. With computers becom- ing more and more a part of everyday human life, he says it’s a virtual reality the number of cyber-cops on patrol will inevitably grow, with cyber-crime courses part of basic train- ing for police in the future.

RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM —Many Durham employers are plan- ning to do some hiring this summer, according to a sur- vey released by Manpower last month. The Third Quarter Em- ployment Outlook Survey, conducted by the private employment agency, re- vealed 32 per cent of Durham Region employers polled intend to add workers during the July-August-Sep- tember period, while eight per cent plan cuts. A further 58 per cent plan no changes, while two per cent of those surveyed are unsure of their summertime staffing needs. “The outlook was slight- ly softer a year ago at this time when 25 per cent planned to increase their staffs and five per cent planned reductions,” said Kim Murray, Manpower’s Durham spokesman. “Three months ago, employers fore- casted a rosy picture as 38 per cent reported new oppor- tunities and seven per cent foresaw cutbacks.” New job openings are ex- pected in non-durable goods manufacturing, transporta- tion-public utilities, whole- sale-retail trade, finance-in- surance-real estate, and edu- cation and public adminis- tration. The services’ indus- try and manufacturers of durable goods reported mixed intentions. The survey queries more than 1,700 companies across Canada and shows, national- ly, 37 percent plan to add workers, while seven per cent anticipate employment decreases.

On June 9, National Kids Day at the Whitby En- tertainment Centrum will help kids have fun through arts and crafts and raise money for Kids Help Phone in Canada. Children will also have the chance to enter the ‘Help Spread A Smile’con- test by drawing or bringing a picture of themselves smiling and writing a little bit about how they spread their smile to help or cheer people up. The three best smiles will be picked and sent to be judged on whose grin is the best in Canada and the winner will be an- nounced in July. People joining in the Kids Day fun are asked to make a small contribution and proceeds will go to- ward the Kids Help Phone. In the last two years, the change donated by children has helped raise over $100,000. Kids Help Phone is a 24-hour, bilingual, toll free, anonymous, phone counselling and referral service for children and youth in Canada. The pro- fessionally trained counsel- lors answer an average of 1,000 calls a day on issues range from relationships, substance abuse, homeless- ness, bullying, suicide and more. Kids Help Phone serves almost 3,000 com- munities in Canada. National Kids Day also aims to promote volun- teerism and compassion in Canada’s youth. Teachers can download a Teacher’s Guide promoting the two at www.nationalkidsday.com, where polls and contests are also featured. People can also send e-card greet- ings to celebrate the chil- dren in their lives from the site.

Jacqueline’s School of Dance 420-7399 Pickering PICKERING 837-2528 BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM —Twenty- five years ago, Tony Row- land was a self-described “pool rat” when Jim Kinlin slipped into the pool for his first swim to raise money for leukemia research. Today, as the Durham branch of the Leukemia Re- search Fund of Canada pre- pares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jim’s Swim, Constable Rowland, now with Durham Regional Po- lice Services’tactical support unit, remembers his days at Centennial Pool with Mr. Kinlin. “I knew him for years,” Const. Rowland said. “I was a pool rat there when he first started. I just got to know him better when I became a lifeguard. I got to understand better what he was doing. “He said he’d been sick and he decided he was going to raise money through a swimathon. He was told to exercise and he picked swim- ming. “We talked quite a bit. I’d be up on the stand there (as a lifeguard) and I’d watch him and we’d talk a lot about things. He had a flip chart that he put up on the wall, saying how many laps he’d done. He did a mile a day for 21 days.” Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease, Mr. Kin- lin started his fund-raising challenge in 1977, an out- growth of his regular swim at Centennial Pool. Every Janu- ary, he’d swim a mile a day for three weeks to raise funds for leukemia research. Leukemia is a group of dis- eases, including lymphoma, Hodgkin’s and multiple myeloma, that affects the white blood cells. Over the years, other swimmers would join him, including Barb Loreno, who kept on the swim after Mr. Kinlin died in 1990. Const. Rowland too once joined Mr. Kinlin in the an- nual swim. And the two saw each other after the younger man joined the police force. “I swam competitively so I used to go over to the pool often and I’d bump into him all the time. We’d share lanes sometimes,” Const. Rowland said. “I used to watch him. He wasn’t the fastest but he got through it. He got out there and did it. I thought it was very admirable.” Jim’s Swim has raised more than $325,000 for leukemia research in 25 years. That’s something Jackie Robinson appreciates. Her son Ryan, age three, was diagnosed with acute lym- phatic leukemia when he was just two years old. He’s in re- mission and in the last half of a three-year chemotherapy regimen, going into the Hos- pital for Sick Children every two weeks for a checkup and chemotherapy. “It can relapse any time but you just hope for the best,” Mrs. Robinson said. “He’s doing very well so far. He’s got a cheerful disposi- tion. He’s my Rock of Gibraltar. His attitude gives me the strength to get through.” The 25th annual Jim’s Swim takes place June 10 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cen- tennial Pool at the Civic Au- ditorium Complex. Swim- mers are still needed and can sign up by contacting the Durham branch of the Leukemia Research Fund at 905-665-8463. On the day, a light break- fast will be served from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and a barbecue and awards ceremony will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. There will be draws and a silent auction from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Money for the Leukemia Research Fund will also be raised in June in the United Food and Commercial Work- ers’annual ‘Walk for A Cure’ on June 17 at 10 a.m. starting at CLOCA headquarters, 100 Whiting Ave. For pledge forms and information, call 905-665-8463.

It has been as the Monkey Bar, Cloud Nine, the Treehouse and the New Treehouse. In the middle of June 2001, the name will change again to “The Puck and Beaver, a Canadian Pub, eh?” The phone number will be the same which is (905) 426-5501. The name will change but what goes on inside will not. Great food, great music and a whole lot of fun! First, the food. There are daily specials such as Rib Dinners, Fish Dinners and such. As well, each day has a munchie special. Sunday’s our Nacho Platters are only $5.00. Monday’s are 30 cent Won Tons. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are 30 cent wings day. Wednesday’s are “Make Your Own Platter for Only $2 an Item Day.” Friday’s are Fish Fridays and Saturdays have Pork Rib Dinners for $9.95. The menu has many great items that are sure to satisfy your appetite. There is always some sort of musical entertainment happening as well. Sunday’s through Thursday’s are regularly Karaoke in some form or another. Every other Tuesday is “Survivor Karaoke.” A cutthroat, mean and nasty competition where only the strong will survive! It’s great fun! June will also bring Local Legends to Ajax. Where local singers and performers can pay tribute to their favourite music star by singing and performing as their favourite legend. Friday is always Band Night. All kinds of music are presented on Fridays. Rock and Roll, Oldies, New Country, Old Country and Rhythm and Blues are but a few of the styles of music you will see. Saturdays are either Live Bands or Club Mix Dance Night with DJ Flirt. Some upcoming events will be a Sunday Afternoon Jam and Songwriters Corner. Watch for them.

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. 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 different colours looks very full and lush. Impatiens and begonias are available in both a single and double flower and a wide variety of colours. Another inter- esting 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 fellow 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 Visions of The Garden Janice J.

Every Saturday morning they sold their fab- ric remnants to local home sewers. Today the Home Decor Genuine Factory Outlet offers over 5000 products in a much larger corner of the factory. The remnants are still on the sample table just as they were in 1964, but as the explosion in home fashion caused the business to grow, so did the factory out- let. As Owner Bernard Barry points out “Furnishings and lifestyle products are the focus of today’s home. The sophisti- cated homeowner can express that good taste through a well coordinated room.” Being a factory and understanding the many facets of how to put togeth- er the variety of products that satisfy a particular taste in decor, the customer’s needs are what their well trained and focused staff have been doing all of their lives. The success of Home Decor Factory Outlet, locat- ed just south of Westney off Hwy 401, is truly one of the best shopping experiences you’ll ever have. Here, you can redeco- rate your home for a frac- tion of the price. From ready-made window fash- ions to lamps, the Outlet offers quality and value. It’s truly the affordable alternative for every room in your home. It All Started in a Small Corner of The Factory Home Sweet HomeHome Sweet Home ADVERTISING FEATURE The foyer is our first contact with the rest of the home. It should be decorated with care to ensure a welcoming and prac- tical ambiance. Ideally, the walls should be painted the same colour as adjacent rooms or lighter. Most foyers are less than palatial – many are only slightly larger than a hall- way. A chair, small cabinet or console can work well in these spaces. The furniture should not block circulation and should be convenient for leaving keys, mail, gloves, etc. The flooring should be resistant, and above all, easy to clean. Ceramic tiles, mar- ble, granite and slate are all excellent choices to portray luxury and practicality. Hardwood floors are another wise choice. You can match various materials and make wood and ceramic motifs, for exam- ple. Select lighting according to your tastes – halogen, embedded, wall-mount- ed, ceiling or table-lamp. There is a wealth of choices to accommodate your tastes and décor. A dimmer can help you adjust the atmosphere to your needs.

Gordon says, “basically, the amount of years I’ve been in this busi- ness has forced me to develop hundreds of different tech- niques to successfully solve every situation I’ve encoun- tered”. He also says that “having an extensive back- ground in specialty products for concrete, I know which products to use and which ones really work, that’s why I can offer a 10 year full guar- antee on all the work I do”. Gordon prides his company on fast, neat and efficient ser- vice. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the least most reasonable cost to the cus- tomer. Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles but that is because it is absolutely necessary. What I won’t do is quote on an expensive excavation type repair when I know a simple little interior injection will solve the problem. Give me a solid concrete foundation and 90% of the time I can inject the problem with polyurethane by standing on the inside and pumping right through the wall. Block foundations should be repaired from the outside but I try to isolate the problem within 10-15 ft. to minimize the excavation nec- essary.” Gordon says “home owners should invest in their foundations in much the same way they invest in their roofs. Water corrodes and very quickly. The same way a leak in your roof starts corroding the wooden rafters, a leak through your foundation starts to undermine the very integrity of your home. People tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and possibly save yourself a fortune.” Gordon goes on to say that “no job is too big or too small and I can promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.” For a free professional evaluation call Gordon at 905-686-6880.

A/P PAGE 30 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 8, 2001 Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 8, 2001 Wisconsin: A haven for Canadian racing fans Milwaukee’s Miller Park home to more than baseball Serious baseball (and archi- tecture fans) will be drawn to Milwaukee this summer as 2001 is the inaugural season for Miller Park, the Milwaukee Brewers’ new high-tech masterpiece. A unique baseball-only facili- ty, Miller Park is the only stadi- um in North America with a fan- shaped retractable roof. The stadium was built with spectators in mind. In addition to a climate-controlled environ- ment, its relatively intimate con- fines offer improved sight lines and close-to-the-action seating. In fact, two-thirds of Miller Park’s 43,000 seating capacity is in its lower levels. Miller Park also features 70 luxury suites and several special children’s areas. Open year-round, the park also includes a novelty store, restau- rant and microbrewery. While Miller Park’s exterior evokes images of classic stadi- ums from the early 1900s, its in- frastructure is pure 21st century. The seven-panel retractable roof, the park’s signature feature, weighs about 12,000 tons, takes about 10 minutes to open or close and allows for a natural grass playing field. When the roof is closed it reaches 200 feet above the playing field and the highest outside arch reaches 30 storeys tall. The park also fea- tures a high-tech 48-by-27-foot colour video screen in centre field, giving fans even better views of the game. The new stadium’s appeal has already been recognized by Major League Baseball, which has awarded Milwaukee the game’s showcase event, the All- Star Game, in 2002. Tours of Miller Park are avail- able for fans who want to catch a glimpse of the action behind the scenes. Tours last approximately 70 minutes and take visitors to the dugout, the press box, the clubhouse and a luxury suite. For ticket information, call 1- 800-933-7890 or visit www.brewers.mlb.com.

The state of Wisconsin boasts 40 race tracks. Canadian racers have traditionally done well on this track. Patrick Car- pentier has held the CART Fed Ex Championship Series track record at the Milwaukee Mile since 1998, while Paul Tracy took the event’s checkered flag in 1999. An hour to the north of Milwaukee is Elkhart Lake, home of Road Amer- ica (920-892-4576; www.roadameri- ca.com). Situated on 550 rolling acres in the scenic Kettle Moraine State Forest, this winding four-mile, 14-turn road racing circuit is an enchanting com- bination of natural beauty and carb- blasting excitement. Road America hosts five major events in 2001 including the ongoing American Motorcyclist Association Super Cycle Classic, which started June 7 and wraps up June 10 and the CART Motorola 220, from August 16 to 19. Well-known Canadian CART racer Paul Tracy took the checkered flag here in 2000, one of his three victories last year. Racing at these two great tracks is more than a spectator sport: both fa- cilities host driving schools that allow enthusiasts to experience the thrill of driving CART or NASCAR- level equipment. Contact the Mil- waukee Mile and Road America to learn more. As impressive as these facilities are, many race fans are even more impressed by the great food, afford- able hotels and friendly service Wis- consin has to offer. And with more than 40 other rac- ing tracks located throughout the state, racing action is never more than a short drive away.

So it was on a sunny Saturday morning this month at the finals of the Durham Regional spelling Bee. Four groups of 20 kids each, who had earned the right to participate in the finals by placing in the top four at community-based semifinal com- petitions in May, turned out at Durham College ready to go. And go they did. They spelled everything from ‘igneous’ to ‘de- crepit’ (and a whole bunch in between), much to the delight of audience members and Bee offi- cials. Kids from grades 1-8 had been studying word lists since February and showed us -- and them- selves, I hope -- a thing or two about good-na- tured competition. There were 700 children from across Durham Region who signed up for the Bee (organized and hosted by Metroland newspapers in Durham Re- gion). Many of them turned out at our coaching sessions, practised at home and came out with smiles and knowledge. Sure, some tears were spilled by some of the children when a word was spelled incorrectly. Some parents questioned judging decisions, as is their right. But, not one of those children should feel ashamed or that they failed. It’s not easy to stand up in front of a crowd of strangers and keep your wits about you, but these kids did. It’s not easy to spell an unfamiliar word, but these kids did. It’s not easy to keep your composure when you’re under stress, but these kids did. As far as I’m concerned, each and every child, from the first word to the last, was a winner in this event. Meanwhile, I have to acknowledge the student and adult volunteers who helped make this a suc- cess. Their efforts in helping to run the bees were immeasurable, their countenance always cheer- ful. I’m honoured to have worked with such a com- mitted and selfless group who had only the kids on their minds. They were as impressive as our young competi- tors. Now, on to the 2002 event! It was un-bee-lievable!

Directed by Dominic Sena There exists a world within our world. A world beneath what we call cyberspace. A world protected by firewalls, passwords and the most ad- vanced security systems. In this world we hide our deepest se- crets, our most incriminating information, and of course, a whole lot of money. This is the world of Swordfish. Gabriel Shear (Travolta), a charismatic and dangerous spy wanting to finance his own brand of patriotism, needs to get inside this world. If he can get in, billions in illegal govern- ment funds wait for the taking. To actually steal the money, however, he’ll need a super- hacker, someone whose talents make even the most airtight se- curity systems of the world look like child’s play. That’s where Stanley Jobson (Jackman) enters the picture. One of the two best hackers on the planet, Stanley has been for- bidden to get within 50 yards of the nearest electronics store after doing time for wreaking havoc on the FBI’s controver- sial high-tech cyber surveil- lance operations. Now Stanley is living out his life in a broken- down trailer, penniless, alone and without the one thing that gives his life meaning — his daughter Holly, whom he lost in a divorce. Gabriel and his beautiful partner Ginger (Berry) lure Stanley into their clandestine world, baiting him with the one thing he can’t have — a chance to reunite with Holly and start a new life. But once Stanley enters their world, he realizes that nothing in this operation is what it seems and he has become a pawn in a plot that’s a lot more sinister than a high-tech bank heist.

Directed by Ivan Reitman Chaos ensues when a meteor hits the earth carrying alien life forms that give new meaning to the term ‘survival of the fittest’. David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott and Julianne Moore are the only people standing between the aliens and world domination... which could be bad news for Earth.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU We are starting on our new store in the mall. Have you seen the big walls (called hoarding) erected around the old donut shop across from Shoppers Drug Mart, Sport Chek and PJ’s? The look on the face of the parents and kids as they see those 12 foot high purple walls and the huge DQ logo on each wall is exciting. As one father went by he said “What do think is going in here son? “His little boy yelled “DAIRY QUEEN!” We had seven contractors interested in this project. Very surprising especially at the beginning of the busy summer building season. We narrowed it down to four excellent contractors, one each from Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. It was tough but we chose Dalar Contracting, a Canadian owned company located right in Pickering just around the corner on Brock. It began with Dalar owner Dennis Large coming to our store and introducing himself and leaving me an impressive portfolio of completed projects including Honda, Sobey’s, Swiss Chalet and the Tim Horton’s right in the Pickering Town Center. The treatment we received from General manager Howard Dale and project manager Dan Bechberger was impressive. They assured me that this store would be as impressive as the main store built by my father-in-law. The original donut shop located in this spot opened in 1962 when it was called the Sheridan Mall. What a job we had ahead of us. First we had to demolish the whole site! The walls were pulled apart, the tile was removed from the concrete floor and then the tile adhesive was chipped off. Two ceilings were removed. What we thought were steel posts enclosed in dry wall were cement blocks stacked one on top of the other. I guess steel wasn’t plentiful back then. In order to support the state of the Dairy Queen Orange Julius signs (3 of them) and the security grill, that encloses the store when we close at night, we needed to hire an engineering designer named Sam Wong from SWS Engineering. We wanted an open design and didn’t want a lot of posts obscuring the view of our colourful store. Sam was able to come up with a steel design to support everything without any posts showing other than the landlord’s! We get our building permit today so “Let the construction begin”! In the coming weeks I will you in on how a DQ is built. Bring this complete article and I’ll give you a 5 oz cone free. No strings. Good till June 30. One per customer. Thanks for your business.

Lee Delfino, 21, was first drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth round of the 1998 draft. The Pickering Baseball Associ- ation product, however, elected to attend East Carolina University in Greenville N.C. on a baseball scholarship. After three outstanding seasons with the ECU Pirates, the shortstop was drafted by the Blue Jays once again, this time in the sixth round, 182nd overall. Delfino said he’s excited and ready to go to with the Blue Jays’organization, with one proviso: a deal still has to be worked out with the major league ball club. “I’m very excited,” said Delfino, in a telephone interview from Greenville, N.C. where he continues to work out every day. “Out of all the teams that had a bit of inter- est in me, I’m glad it was the Blue Jays. I love the organization from top to bottom. I have a lot of buddies who are part of the or- ganization. When I got the call I was very excited.” Delfino is confident that this time around, a deal can be worked out that will allow him to stay a Blue Jay. “I hope so,” he said. “I’ve dealt with them before and they know what type of person I am and what I’m looking for in a deal that would suit me. I would like to get it done.” But, if a deal cannot be worked out, the six-foot one-inch tall, 180-pound infielder warned he’s prepared to go back to ECU for his senior year. “I’d like to join the (Blue Jays) organi- zation. It’s a good fit for me,” he said. “But, if it doesn’t work out, I’m a year-and-and- a-half from earning my degree and I can al- ways go back (to ECU) if we can’t work things out.” The talented shortstop said he’s already been in touch with the Jays following the draft and, if he signs, will be converted into a second baseman, which is fine with him. “They want to move me over to second base. They don’t have as much depth in the organization at that position, so it could be a good move for me.” If he ends up signing with the Jays, he expects to join the organization’s short-sea- son ‘A’ New York-Penn League affiliate in Auburn, New York. If he doesn’t sign, he’ll continue to work out at ECU throughout the summer in preparation for the next col- legiate season. Delfino is coming off a strong season with the Pirates, posting a .262 average, with 11 home runs and 54 runs batted in. He also earned second team all-star hon- ours in the All-Colonial Athletic Associa- tion. He also helped the Pirates record an out- standing record of 47-13 this season, which tied the school record for wins. The Pirates ended up one step short of attending the college ‘World Series’in Omaha, Nebraska after a loss to the University of Tennessee at the Super Regional Tournament in May. In his three years at ECU, Delfino is a three-time Colonial Athletic Association second team all-star and, as a freshman, earned all-American honours.
