Home My WebLink AboutNA2001_08_24Twelve-officer squad to battle huge jump in attacks, muggings BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM — Police have created a special street-crime task force assigned to hunt down a gang of young thugs responsible for a “disturbing” wave of violent street robberies and assaults in Ajax and Pickering. The 12-officer team, which hit the streets Wednesday night, is a direct response by Durham Re- gional Police to an astounding in- crease in random street robberies and attacks in the western part of the region this year. Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said officers are grow- ing concerned about the number of assaults and an escalating level of violence. The “bullying-type” incidents in some cases involve up to 20 as- sailants attacking the victims with weapons such as baseball bats and sticks while robbing them of their cash, cellphones, jewelry and Walkmans, he said. In one, a 16-year-old Ajax boy suffered a broken orbital bone last week when he was swarmed, robbed, badly beaten and hit with a branch while sitting with friends on a bench near Lakeside Public School, police say. There have been 15 street rob- beries in Ajax and Pickering in the past three weeks alone, while police report 52 occurred in the area in the first six months of 2001, more than double the year previous. From January to June of last year, there were 22 mug- gings in the patrol area covered PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Windmill swings Woody’s hot on into action trail of fraud COMMUNITY/9 ENTERTAINMENT/23 PRESSRUN 51,100 40 PAGES FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 2001 OPTIONAL 4 WEEK DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND ‘Horrendous’ crash kills Pickering man Five-vehicle accident closes Taunton Road for over eight hours BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING — Two Durham men were killed early Thursday morning in a five-car accident that police say left everyone involved visibly shaken. Peter McMahon, 38 of Conces- sion Road South in Pickering, and Whitby resident Walter Rozin- skis, 47, of Dewbourne Place, were killed in the 6:15 a.m. acci- dent on Taunton Road about two kilometres west of Brock Road. Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham Regional Police spokesman, said the accident began when an east- bound 1986 GMC green pickup truck driven by Mr. McMahon sideswiped a westbound 1997 sil- ver Honda and then collided head on with a westbound 1997 black Dodge Ram pickup driven by Mr. Rozinskis. The two men were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Honda, an Oshawa man, did not require medical treatment. Two other vehicles swerved into the ditch bordering the road and were also hit with debris from the accident. “It was a horrendous crash scene, given the number of vehi- cles involved and the seriousness of the injuries,” said Sgt. Malik. Sgt. Malik said with debris all over the road, seven other vehi- cles believed they had also been hit, but a closer look determined they were not directly involved in the accident. “It’s only natural to think that way,” he said. The drivers of the ditched vehi- cles reported cuts and bruises and minor damage to their vehicles, Sgt. Malik said, adding everyone involved was visibly shaken. They did not require medical treatment. The Durham Regional Police traffic management unit was called to the scene to conduct the collision investigation, which closed Taunton from 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call 905-683-9100 ext. 5213 or ext. 5267. Durham Regional Police work to reconstruct the scene of a five-car collision early Thursday morning that killed two Durham men. The crash closed the road from about 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Two other motorists suffered minor injuries.

The education minister said the tele- vision ads, and a magazine that will be delivered to every Ontario household, are intended to inform parents about new provincial initiatives, including the teacher-testing program to begin next month. Ms. Ecker said the timing of the advertisements, just before the start of the school year, is not an accident. “This is when parents are most inter- ested in school...” she said in an inter- view. “It’s the best time to talk to parents about what’s happening in the education system.” Earl Manners, president of the On- tario Secondary School Teachers’Feder- ation (OSSTF), described the ads as government “propaganda”. However, Ms. Ecker countered that’s the same thing as saying investing re- sources to communicate with parents is not worthwhile. “This is a democracy,” she said. “This may sound old-fashioned, but government has an obligation to report to its citizens: here’s what we’re doing and why.” Television is the best way to commu- nicate with millions of people in the 21st century, said Ms. Ecker, adding it isn’t a one-way dialogue. Parents and ratepay- ers need the information before they can make up their own minds, and she added they have opportunities to provide input that helps the government make policy. She admitted to listening to a morn- ing radio show Thursday, which fea- tured guests including Durham District School Board chairman Elizabeth Roy. Trustee Roy suggested school boards could have distributed the information to parents through students. But Ms. Ecker said school boards have balked in the past when ap- proached to do just that. Mr. Manners, in an interview Thurs- day, said the boards have been unwilling to distribute information because some of it was political in nature, as is the cur- rent advertising campaign, which he said is designed “to try and change the public’s mind” as support for the gov- ernment wanes. “This isn’t government information, this is extremely glossy public relations advertising. It is very political in nature, it includes welcome statements in the brochure from the pre- mier and the minister of education.” He suggested the advertising cam- paign is ironic given Ms. Ecker has “gone out of her way to accuse OSSTF of politicizing the classroom”. Mr. Manners said the money could have gone to fund textbooks in the new school-to-work program for senior high school students who do not intend to go on to college or university.

The patients, under the direction of local cardiolo- gist Dr. Rakesh Bhargava, were part of a study of 12,562 patients from 28 countries. They’d had mild heart attacks in the past and were hos- pitalized with sub- sequent unstable angina or chest pains. The study, headed by Mc- Master professor Dr. Salim Yusuf, looked at the effect of clopidogrel, an anti-clotting drug, on heart patients. Results show pa- tients who were given the drug early and contin- ued it long-term had their risk of heart attack, stroke and death cut by 20 per cent, com- pared to patients who were given placebos. Those who received the drug were also given aspirin, an- other blood thin- ner. Local patients were recruited after being admit- ted to Lakeridge Health Oshawa. “All our pa- tients did well, al- though half of them by chance did not get the drug,” Dr. Bharga- va said. “Those on the drug and the aspirin did find a significant bene- fit.” The drug is not a new one but re- searchers are al- ways looking for ways to improve treatment and out- comes for heart patients, he said. It’s been used in the past by people who can’t take as- pirin or do not re- spond to aspirin, he added. The study was funded by a French pharma- ceutical company that markets clopi- dogrel as Plavix and Iscover. Dr. Bhargava said they provided money but did not have direct control over the study and its results. He said Dr. Yusuf had inde- pendent control of the study and the reporting of re- sults, published in the New Eng- land Journal of Medicine. A new study, this one funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Health Research Council, will start later this month, with Dr. Bhargava involved. This study, called ‘Wave’, will look at the use of warfarin, another blood thinner, with aspirin in people who have had strokes, heart attacks and blockages in leg arteries. Doctors are looking for patients who have had blockages in leg ar- teries and have had surgery or can’t be operated on to participate. People interested can contact Dr. Bhargava through their family doctors.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 24, 2001 PAGE 5 A/P by 19 Division. “It’s a huge, unexpected increase in both the num- bers and level of violence. Not only are these totally unprovoked random at- tacks, some are extremely vicious,” said Sergeant Bruce Townley, heading up the project. In some cases, the vic- tims have been robbed of as little as $2. Police are determined to solve the rash of attacks before an incident turns more serious or deadly, said Sgt. Townley. The new task force fol- lows a successful similar police crackdown on street gangs carried out earlier this year, dubbed ‘opera- tion eradication,’ which led to numerous arrests and more than 100 criminal charges, he said. Police suspect the same pack of youths terrorizing the area may be responsi- ble for many, but not neces- sarily all of the recent street robberies. The group is not con- nected to any “organized” gang, Sgt. Malik said. The suspects are de- scribed as teenagers be- tween 15 and 18 years old, sometimes riding bikes. No knives or guns have been used in the assaults. Most of the attacks have occurred between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. on public streets, schoolyards and parks. Police say parents of teenagers should keep track of their children’s whereabouts during late evening hours and know whom they associate with. To avoid being a target, know your surroundings, walk in well-lit, high-traf- fic areas and “walk quickly with a sense of purpose,” Sgt. Malik suggested. Anyone with informa- tion about violent crimes in the area is encouraged to call detectives at 905-683- 9100, ext. 2550, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 905-436-8477. Police out to stop ‘vicious’ attacks New task force follows successful campaign against street gangs POLICE from page 1 Cruise on over to Pickering Markets for classic day of fun Regulatory rules regarding local telephone service prices are now under review by the CanadianRadio-televisionandTelecommunicationsCommission(CRTC)aspartofPublic Notice CRTC 2001-37 –Price Cap Review and Related Issues. As part of this process, Bell Canada has filed proposals with the CRTC that are intended to: • Ensure that competition is maintained and encouraged in Canada's healthy, competitive telecommunications market; • Encourage investment in the communications industry, ensuring continued innovation and leading-edge technology; • Extend and improve local service in many remote areas; and • Ensure prices for local service remain affordable. Canadian Industry Facts Today, Canadians benefit from a world-leading communications industry with some of the most advanced and lowest priced telephone services anywhere. • Canadian prices for basic local service are lower than comparable services in other major industrialized countries. • Long distance prices in Canada have fallen more than 40 per cent since the introduction of competition. • Close to 99 per cent of Canadians have basic telephone service, a higher percentage than in the U.S. • Canadians benefit from the world's lowest prices for Internet access (both dial-up and high-speed). For many services, such as long distance, wireless and Internet access, Canada’s low prices are a direct result of competition and clearly demonstrate the benefits of reliance on market forces. Highlights of the Bell Proposal While the prices for many services are subject to market forces alone, local telephone services, such as the basic connection to the home and office and payphone services, are subject to a number of regulatory rules. Bell's proposal, which would come into effect over a four-year period beginning in 2002, does not call for specific price changes for regulated services. Rather, it recommends a framework that would limit any local service price changes, subject to CRTC approval, based on the following: • Monthly prices for basic local residential and business services in most areas could increase, on average, by no more than the annual rate of inflation; • Monthly prices for basic service in rural and remote areas – where prices today are far below the cost of providing the service – could increase by no more than $2.00 each year, to a maximum monthly charge of $29.65 at the end of the four-year period; • Ongoing monitoring of the effects of price increases on affordability would continue; • Customers would receive rebates if CRTC-mandated quality of service indicators were not met; and • The flexibility to increase prices of payphone service (affecting indoor payphones only, where the price could increase over the four-year period to 50 cents per call). Payphone prices have not changed since 1981. And with our latest Service Improvement Plan, Bell is proposing to invest $41 million to connect, over two years, more than 500 remote localities in Ontario and Quebec where basic local telephone service is currently unavailable. Through gradual and moderate increases in basic residential service prices, service would remain affordable, while encouraging greater competition and innovation. How to Participate in the CRTC Proceeding Initiated in March, 2001, the Price Cap Review and Related Issues proceeding follows up on key regulatory decisions that opened up Canada's telecommunications industry to competition in the 1990s.

CRTC Reviewing Rules for Local Telephone Service Prices Mugging no reason to give up on humanity To the editor: Re: ‘Mugging suspect tackled,’Aug. 15. I am the victim of this purse-snatching incident. My experience was terrifying, es- pecially as it happened at a busy mall in broad daylight. One minute I was happily walking toward my car holding a bouquet of flowers, and the next minute I was thrown to the sidewalk and my purse was forcibly taken from me. So my Friday evening was spent at the Ajax-Pickering Community Po- lice Station, and although there were no breaks or fractures, I do have badly bruised knees, arms and chin. A week later after the attack, most of the bruises are healing rather nicely, however, my right knee is inflamed and severely swollen and I will have to undergo physio- therapy in a few weeks time. My anger and hurt over this traumatic in- cident has been tempered by the knowledge that there are some wonderful people out there and one should not give up on human- ity. Immediately after the incident, I was surrounded by a number of very kind people who tended to me, whilst some incredibly brave people chased after and apprehended the suspect. I cannot thank all those people enough for their kind and considerate ac- tions — you truly are Good Samaritans.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 24, 2001 Have you noticed lately that almost everywhere you turn, people are de- picted wearing less and less? You pick up some milk at the corner store and are exposed to the covers of skin mag- azines and indecent movie posters. You drive to a doctor’s appointment and see a billboard or bus shelter ad of a person clothed only in milk. As you sit down in the waiting room, you page through a fashion magazine and see men and women in suggestive poses. When you arrive home, the televi- sion and Internet flash lewd images at you, even when you are not seeking them. Now recognize in each case a child has as much access to such ma- terial as you do. Maybe you are so used to these pictures you wonder why they merit discussion. Consider this: the semi- clad models who appear for everyone to see are wearing less than most peo- ple would wear in a public setting. It may be appropriate for women to wear bikinis at the beach or at a pool, but would we want to be shopping next to them at the grocery store? Would we feel at all uncomfortable if our health-care providers got new uniforms that resemble lingerie? It seems what we consider socially im- proper does not transfer to the world of images. Regarding children, society en- sures perverts who expose themselves to children at playgrounds are arrest- ed, but it pretends no damage is done when children are bombarded with sexual images. The prevalence of these images does have an effect on our children and us. We may begin to judge other people based on their appeal to our own lusts rather than seeing them as human beings with inherent dignity. Other people’s privacy is no longer re- spected and childhood innocence is lost. Our minds can easily become con- sumed by sexual content, resulting in a desire for even more explicit mater- ial. Furthermore, marriages have been damaged and destroyed because of the unfair comparison between a real- life spouse and airbrushed models. Lewd images will continue to be present wherever we go as long as they are making money. As one level of nudity becomes ‘normal’the adver- tisers will take another step to shock us and seduce us into buying some- thing else we don’t need or something we would buy anyway. How far will we let them go? The cycle can only be stopped if the producers discover disgust, and not excitement, is associated with their products or programs. If you want to know how things will look if we continue down this road, visit al- most any European country and take in its ‘sights.’ LETTERS POLICY All letters should be typed or neatly hand-written, 150 words.

For far too long now, mayors, reeves, regional chairmen and councillors across the breadth of Ontario have had to deal with an incredibly out-of-date Municipal Act. Believe it or not, the Ontario Municipal Act is actually older than the legislation that formed our nation in 1867, the British North America Act. Our provincial Municipal Act dates all the way back to 1849, the days of Upper and Lower Canada, of horse and buggy, of steam-driven locomotives and lakers, and just 12 years removed from the William Lyon MacKenzie-led citizen’s rebellions. There have been attempts to get the act updated over the past 152 years, but they haven’t borne fruit until now. The minister, without giving away too much in his speech to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario delegates earlier this week, said the new act will provide more decision-making responsibilities to municipalities. The Province “has to start to look at municipalities as a sep- arate level of government and not as their children... they should go about letting us do business as grown-ups,” said Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson. Mr. Anderson said if the minister gives municipalities that authority, “that’s a big step to where we want to go”. According to the ministry, the proposed act would give mu- nicipalities new flexibility to find the best ways to deliver ser- vices. It would also give municipalities “broad authority with- in 10 local spheres of jurisdiction, such as public utilities and local transportation”. That should clear the way for local councils to find ways to share services and cut costs. With less interference from the Province it should follow as well that local municipalities have the final say on decisions regarding amalgamation. While it’s nice to get more say in delivering local services, it remains to be seen what the final cost will be. Mr. Hodgson pledged the whole process will remain revenue-neutral with the Province and local governments each picking up an equal share of the costs, but we’ll believe it when we see it. If the Province is determined to force municipalities to be more accountable to local taxpayers, it must give them the tools to do so. With a new act in place, local leaders will now have the freedom to make the changes they feel necessary to make our towns and cities better places to live.

Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical offi- cer of health, reports the Province has announced its uni- versal immunization campaign will return this year. “We’re preparing for the an- nual influenza shots,” she said, noting the Durham Region Health Department will host a number of clinics throughout the Region during October and No- vember. “Lots of planning is going on at this time of year for that,” Dr. Reynolds said, adding informa- tion about the locations and times for the clinics will be avail- able next month. The Durham Region Health Department offered free flu shot clinics last year at locations across the region as part of the Ontario Ministry of Health’s uni- versal influenza vaccination campaign, designed to reduce emergency room overcrowding during the flu season. The provincewide vaccination program was funded by the min- istry to the tune of $38 million in an effort to make approximately 7.9 million doses of vaccination available to Ontario residents. Here in Durham, Dr. Reynolds said about 160,000 doses were distributed by the department to various businesses and doctors’ offices. Another 8,200 shots were given out during free clinics the health department held last No- vember and December. Earlier this summer, Health and Long-Term Care Minister Tony Clement announced $44 million was being set aside for this year’s program. “Last year’s incredible suc- cess, with over five million On- tarians vaccinated, illustrated the government’s commitment to making Ontarians healthier,” he noted.

News Advertiser photos by Ron Pietroniro and A.J. Groen PICKERING — The switch will be flipped on the new wind- mill at the Pickering waterfront next week as Ontario Power Gen- eration (OPG) launches another phase in its green energy program. The wind turbine, erected at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Sta- tion (PNGS) this week, is the largest of its kind in North Amer- ica. From the ground to the tip of the highest blade is 117 me- tres, or, the height of a 30- storey office building. The prototype windmill, re- cently approved by the Cana- dian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion, will generate about 1.8 megawatts, or, enough power to service about 600 homes. “It’s a pretty exciting event down here,” said Kathy Peck of PNGS’s public affairs department. “I can’t describe it as anything else but awesome.” OPG considered sites from Hamil- ton to Kingston for the location of the windmill but Pickering was selected as the preferred choice. The windmill, visible from Hwy. 401, is part of OPG’s plan to increase its commitment to green energy. While nu- clear power was the energy of the future 30 years ago, wind-generated turbines are part of the future in power genera- tion today. Ms. Peck reported roughly 400 com- munity members attended a blade-sign- ing ceremony on Sunday. The tower was then erected Tuesday and the blades were fitted Wednesday morning. “They’re still doing some work on it,” she said. “The wind turbine is not working yet.” She said the turbine will officially be turned on next Wednesday when local politicians and Ontario Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer will be on hand to flip the switch to the electrical grid. OPG is planning to install informa- tion kiosks at the base of the windmill so members of the public can learn more about the project. DURHAM —No more pencils, no more books...

Two suspects wanted in pizza store robbery PICKERING —Two masked men armed with lead pipes robbed a local pizza parlour and got away with cash late Tuesday. Durham Regional Police said the bandits, both wearing black bandanas and stockings pulled over their faces, burst in through a rear door at Free Topping Pizza, at 376 Kingston Rd., at 11:30 p.m. One robber stood guard at the door while the other threatened the owner and ordered him to open the cash register. The victim complied and the bandits emptied the till, ripped out a store phone, took the owner’s cellphone and fled on foot, police said. The suspects are described as male, one white and one black, both 18 or 19 years old, 5-foot-10 and thin.

Tilley has passed on his love of travel to his daugh- ter, Alison. Having been around the world 10 times since she was 17-years-old, Alison is an expert on the ins and outs of travelling. She uses her experience to contribute to the develop- ment of new products for Tilley, and has also prepared a number of tips to help oth- ers get the most out of their travel experiences. Avoiding the travel ‘bug’: • If taking medication, bring extra in case of travel delays; • Drink bottled water; • In tropical or wilder- ness locations, check shoes for bugs before putting them on; • Shop around for travel insurance. Gold or premium credit cards may provide travellers’ health insurance as a perk; know the details; and • Carry insurance poli- cies and health cards when travelling Passport pointers: • Ensure passports are valid for a reasonably long time. Many countries re- quire six months’ validity; • Check with a travel agent or airline carrier to see which countries require visas to enter. Carry extra passport-size photographs in case visas are needed en route; and • Photocopy your pass- port, visas, plane tickets, credit cards, travellers’ cheques, drug prescriptions and other important docu- ments. Carry copies sepa- rately and leave a copy at home or with a friend. Alison Tilley works closely with her father at Tilley Endurables.

The theme of the 22nd annual con- ference, Oct. 9 to 11 in Hamilton, is ‘The power of one: leading the revolu- tion’and will feature panel sessions and workshops, an exhibit area and local tours. The RCO’s yearly conference brings together speakers and delegates from government, businesses, and envi- ronmental groups to share a common goal. This year’s theme focuses on ef- forts that have led to the revolution of behavioural change in Ontario. “Whether it be the passionate indi- vidual, the groundbreaking municipal plan, leading-edge technology, or an in- novative public awareness campaign, it will be these singular powers that will provide leadership as we move for- ward,” said conference chairman Anne Mathewson. The plenary session/panel discussion will be, ‘Zero waste: is it feasible?’, which is appropriate given that in the past decade a number of corporations have embraced the concept of zero waste with startling results. Today it is a new rallying call for a growing number of environmental organizations and mu- nicipal governments, the most recent of which is the City of Toronto. But what does zero waste really mean? What kinds of dramatic system modifications and technical innovations are required and how can they be en- couraged? Television’s Steve Paikin will host the panel of experts to provide perspectives on what will actually be re- quired. It is often repeated that the youth of today are our hope for the future, but how often do we really hear what youth have to say? The session, ‘Youth and the environment: a discussion featuring government and industry leaders and se- lected secondary students’, will provide a unique opportunity to hear of their ex- pectations and what our leaders can learn from their vision of the future. The RCO’s annual conference has a proud tradition of offering members of non-profit volunteer environmental groups and students an opportunity to interact with business, government, and industry representatives. To facilitate this interaction, Dofasco Inc. will pay for the registration fees of a limited number of environmental non-govern- mental organizations and students with a specific interest in waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Applicants are asked to submit a written request for consideration under this fund, outlining the reasons and their interest in attending the conference, and/or their current studies and career ambition, as appropriate. Submissions will be accepted until Sept. 10. The RCO is a not-for-profit organi- zation. Its mission is to inform and edu- cate all members of society about the generation and avoidance of waste, more efficient use of resources, and the benefits and/or consequences of these activities.

When Mr. Rodger lost his youngest of three daughters after a five-month battle with the dis- ease, he knew what he had to do. “One of the most important things for me is to get the mes- sage out there about this dis- ease,” he said. “The signs are so subtle and so small, by the time people realize they have ovarian cancer, it’s often too late... you don’t understand it until it’s rag- ing.” Mr. Rodger wants to create a lasting legacy for Meagan. Dubbed ‘Miles for Meagan,’ he and others from across Canada will ride their bikes from Ottawa to Toronto beginning Sept. 17. The ride will arrive in Durham Sept. 7. The group will also stop in other Durham communities along the way, raising awareness and donations for the National Ovarian Cancer Society, and al- lowing people to show their sup- port by joining the ride, even if just for an hour. “It’s a brutal form of cancer, it pretty much lays waste to the person who gets it,” said Mr. Rodger. Some 2,500 Canadian women will get ovarian cancer this year and of those women, 1,400 will die within five years. Symptoms of the cancer in- clude abdominal pain and dis- comfort, swelling in the ab- domen, loss of appetite, and more. Early detection can in- crease the chances of surviving from 15 to 80 per cent. Howev- er, current tests are not very ef- fective for finding the disease in its earliest stages. “Meagan was complaining for some time about minor things like pain in her side or a sore tummy,” said Mr. Rodger. At first her family thought it was gas and common stomach prob- lems, but as time went on it be- came obvious something was wrong. “She was a tall, beautiful per- son and like any other teenager, she was healthy and not a thing was wrong with her ever in her life,” he said. His daughter was a popular child, with a goal of become a kindergarten teacher. He said while she was dying, she held herself with grace and dignity, never asking why it was happen- ing to her and teaching him a lot about hope. When the cancer was detected, hundreds of tu- mours, which could have spread a few weeks or months after the cancer began, filled her abdomen. She died last November. For more information about ‘Miles for Meagan’ and ovarian cancer or to donate money, visit www.milesformea- gan.org or call 1-877-413-7970. DURHAM —A regional orchestra is urging new members to help strike up the band once again next month. The Concordia Pops Orchestra, dubbed ‘The Light Orchestra of Durham Region’, is beginning its 13th season and announces openings for all instruments in the string, woodwind, brass and percussion sections. Under the direction of conductor and musical director Andrew Uranows- ki, the orchestra is composed of ama- teur and semi-professional musicians from all areas of Durham Region, in- cluding Ajax, Bowmanville, Oshawa, Pickering, Port Perry, Uxbridge and Whitby. The performers range in age from students to senior citizens. The group has served as an excellent training ground for young musicians and a source of recreation for the more mature members. Those wishing to play with the or- chestra should have a minimum of three years of playing experience and should prepare two contrasting pieces to per- form at an audition. Rehearsals take place Sunday evenings in the instrumental music room at Anderson Collegiate & Voca- tional Institute, 400 Anderson St.,Whit- by, from 7 to 9 p.m. The first rehearsal is Sunday, Sept. 9.

From the child to adult, dance has brought out the best in all ages who have experienced one or all of the various forms it can take. You need look no further than this feature to learn one or all of the many dance disciplines offered at the participating schools. Classes are available in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, ballroom dancing, pointe and creative dance. Everyone who participates will not only learn a new skill but also discover a fun way to exercise, develop co-ordination and good posture. For young people it means the concentration and self- discipline they develop will extend to other areas of their life including their school studies. Qualified and dedicated teachers guide each student through their training bringing out their best. Students are invited to compete and many have gone on to win awards and medals at competitions across the province and the country. Registrations start this fall so take a serious look at dance for yourself or your children and start on a journey of excitement and fun.

THE CURSE OF THE JADE SCOR- PION Starring Woody Allen, Dan Aykroyd, Elizabeth Berkley, Helen Hunt, Brian Markinson, Wallace Shawn, David Ogden Stiers and Charlize Theron. Directed by Woody Allen. C.W. Briggs (Allen), New York’s top insurance investigator in 1940 — or so he keeps telling the firm’s new efficien- cy expert Betty Ann Fitzgerald (Helen Hunt) — prides himself on being able to crack any insurance caper by getting into the mind of the thief. But now, thanks to the hypnotic powers of the Jade Scorpion, the mind of a thief is get- ting into Briggs. Briggs might be forced to relinquish bragging rights to being the best in the business when he falls under the spell of a crook — and a beautiful colleague — in his most baffling case to date, and may find he is the one left clueless. (Famous Players Pickering 8 Cine- mas, Pickering Town Centre) JOHN CARPENTER’S GHOSTS OF MARS Starring Natasha Henstridge, Ice Cube, Clea Duvall, Pam Grier, Jason Statham, Joanna Cassidy, Wanda de Jesus, Lobo Sebastian, Liam Waite. Williams has no plans to make Bal- lard’s job easy and what begins as a bat- tle of force and wits between cop and criminal soon turns into something more fundamental: a battle for human survival and escape from the doomed planet. Joining Lt. Ballard on the mission are Bashira (Duvall), the timid rookie; Jeri- cho (Statham), the fast-talking young gun; Commander Helena Braddock (Grier), the tough-as-nails veteran; and Descanso (Waite), the reliable soldier. (Famous Players Pickering 8 Cine- mas, Pickering Town Centre, Cine- plex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cinemas) For a complete listing of what’s play- ing this weekend, contact your local cin- ema. Directed by John Carpen- ter. Mars, 2176 AD. Long in- habited by human settlers, the Red Planet has become the dark and dangerous man- ifest destiny of an over-popu- lated Earth. A total of 640,000 people now live and work at far-flung outposts all over Mars, mining the planet for its abundant natural re- sources. But one of those mining operations has un- covered a deadly motherlode: a long-dormant Martian civi- lization whose warriors, now unleashed and apparently un- stoppable, are systematically taking over the bodies of human intruders, bent on rid- ding the planet of the in- vaders from Earth. Lt. Melanie Ballard (Hen- stridge), a veteran of two years on the Mars Police Force, is on transport assign- ment to Shining Canyon to bring James ‘Desolation’ Williams (Ice Cube), the planet’s most notorious crim- inal, to justice.

As Gary began to make it he spiralled the DQ soft serve into the cup and then he pumped in our thick rich creamy peanut butter sauce. Then he sliced in fresh banana and blended it together. Soon the soft serve turned to a thick rich creamy peanut butter colour. When I took my first spoonful I was overwhelmed. I really thought it was a peanut butter and banana sandwich only much richer and creamier. Boy was it good! Do you want a real thrill? Ask our server to add chocolate chunks!

Sherri Munns-Audet, Durham Region works communications officer, said despite the recent rain, extremely dry conditions remain in the Re- gion’s seven forests, all of which are in the town- ships of Brock and Uxbridge. As a result, residents are being asked to exer- cise caution when visiting. “Smoking and all open-flame fires are strictly prohibited within all public areas of Durham Re- gional forests,” said Lyle Kivell, manager of ad- ministrative services for the Durham Region works department. All of the forests remain open to the public and weather conditions will determine whether there’s any need to be temporarily closed, said Ms. Munns-Audet.

Ajax-Pickering bantams capture first COMFL crown since 1995 DURHAM —The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football bantams captured their first Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) title in six years with a victory over a tough Burlington Stampeders team in Toronto last Saturday. Two third-quarter touchdowns by the Dolphins led the way to a 35-14 victory over the Stampeders — who entered the title game undefeated this season — in the 2001 COMFL cham- pionship game played at Ester Shiner Stadium in North York. After Burlington scored the first touchdown of the game, the Dolphins responded with two major scores be- fore halftime for a 14-7 lead. Ryan McMillan scored the first Dolphins’ major, then, with 48 seconds left in the half, Joe Dublin scored for Picker- ing. The start of the second half was the key to the outcome of the game as the Dolphins took control of the field. Quarterback Erik Glavic led the of- fence with well-executed and heads- up plays. With another touchdown by McMillan and a 30-yard convert by kicker Mike Amato, the Dolphins jumped out to a 21-7 lead. Burlington responded with a touchdown and after a Dolphins drive stalled, it was time for the Ajax-Pickering defence to step up. Yannick Carter’s 60-yard intercep- tion return for a touchdown with just under five minutes to go in the third quarter put the Dolphins up 28-14. With one final major from McMil- lan, the Dolphins sealed their first bantam league championship since 1995. McMillan was named the Dol- phins’offensive most valuable player, while Carter was the defensive MVP. Dolphins head coach Brian Dobbin received the coach-of-the-game award. The Dolphins earned their berth in the final after edging a powerful Scar- borough Thunder squad 21-20 at Kinsmen Park on Aug. 12. The Thun- der led the contest 20-7 at halftime, but the Dolphins mounted a big-time comeback and dominated the second half from start to finish en route to the victory. The Ajax-Pickering bantams fin- ished regular-season play with a record of 8-3-1. Other team members are Dan Gazarek, Brandon Townsend, Matt Prior, Ola Allen, Tyler Schwartz, Jer- maine Oram, Jonathon Alvarez, Jason Collins, Justin Malik, Kyle Van Dusen, Randell Ryan, Nathan Silver- burg, Kyle Chappell, Martin Barreda, Brendon Doyle, Ryan Bardgett, Mike Dobbin, Michael Wang, David Lobo, Paul DiClemente, Craig Gordon, Brent Harasym, Michael Miceli, Den- nis Cole, Dean Britt, Tyler Russell, Sheldon Malcolm, Brandon Pottle, Greg Gauder, Nick Schembri, Blake Nikolas, Alex Ferriera and Ed Port- ner.
