Roughly 250 parents and stu- dents attended a meeting there Wednesday night, held, said princi- pal Al Monks, “to find community- based, long-term solutions to in- crease safety at our school”. The meeting followed two inci- dents involving guns at the school in the last two months, the latest a few weeks ago when a teen fired a gun- shot in the school’s foyer. One week later, the board installed three more security cameras in addition to one already in place at the school. The board also hired two security guards and a fourth vice-principal, who began work today (Friday). “It’s not that I don’t like my school, but I don’t like what’s hap- pening to it,” Jennifer Mason, an OAC student, told the assembly. Like several students who spoke up, she said students can’t be kept in the dark if they are to help find so- lutions. In an exchange with Mr. Monks, she asked why students weren’t given the same opportunityJENNIFER MASON ‘I don’t like what’s happening.’ See SCHOOL page 2 Crown attorney charged in hit-and-run BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Durham Senior Crown Attorney John Scott has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm and failing to remain at the scene of an accident after a collision that left a 16-year- old Ajax boy bruised. Durham Regional Police arrest- ed Mr. Scott, 55, who has served as this region’s top prosecutor for more than 20 years, late Tuesday night. Police said the teenaged pedes- trian, who was shaken up but not seriously hurt, was walking with three friends on the north shoulder of Rossland Road, just east of Har- wood Avenue, when he was struck by a westbound vehicle. Witnesses told police the car continued without stopping, leav- ing behind a broken side-view mir- ror.

In an interview, she said she walked through the school’s foyer five minutes after the shot, fired while she was leav- ing a classroom at the opposite end of the building. “If they had told me, ‘students, there’s an incident,’ that would have helped,” said Ms. Mason, adding she would have gladly returned to class. As it turned out, she walked out of the front entrance not knowing what had happened. She and fellow OAC student Teresa Reed recently formed a group at the school called Loud that holds biweekly drop-in meetings for students. Ms. Reed said they started the group after a teacher was robbed at gunpoint in De- cember and her own car was broken into at the school. “We wanted to raise awareness, a place where students could come and share what they were feeling,” said Ms. Reed. School administration at the meeting outlined the many programs in place at the school and others on the way, like ‘making the right choices’ and ‘path- ways to excellence’. And Durham Po- lice Sergeant Bruce Townley, who heads the force’s street crime unit, told parents the two incidents involving guns were “unique and isolated” happenings. Pick- ering High School is “a relatively safe school compared to other ones in Cana- da and our partners in the United States”, he said. But for most, that wasn’t good enough. “We want to be more than relatively safe,” said school community council chairman John Byard, provoking a round of applause. “It’s time to, I hate to use a cliché, but I think it’s time to take back our school,” he said. Like several speakers, he said the school’s overcrowding is a major factor in violent incidents. Ms. Mason agreed overcrowding is an issue at the school, but said “attitudes in general have changed amongst stu- dents, leading them towards violence and gang activity. “It’s like that everywhere. (But) this is us, in our school, and we want to make a difference in our school.” The school population of roughly 1,850 students is to drop by 250 to 300 students when J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate opens in September. School community seeks safety solutions SCHOOL from page 1 driver returned to the scene 10 minutes later, spoke to the vic- tim and his friends, and drove off. The teen’s father went to the scene and police were called. The 1993 Chevy Intrepid re- turned a second time shortly after, police said, and officers arrested a man who was identi- fied as the driver involved in the collision. The teen was taken to Ajax and Pickering Health Centre, treated for bruising and re- leased. The car’s windshield, hood and side-view mirror were dam- aged, police said. The man, who was taken to 19 Division in Pickering, “co- operated fully with the police,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham police spokesman. He said given the close working relationship between local police and prosecutors, in- vestigating officers consulted with senior officials from the Ministry of the Attorney Gener- al. Sgt. Malik said police laid charges after also consulting with independent counsel, which has been retained to pros- ecute the case. In addition, an outside police agency will be called in to conduct interviews with witnesses at the request of the independent counsel to en- sure impartiality in the investi- gation, Sgt. Malik said. Mr. Scott, of Ajax, faces one count each of failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm and impaired oper- ation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm. He was released on a promise to appear in Os- hawa court on March 12. Brendan Crawley, spokesman for the Attorney- General’s office, would not comment on the case or Mr. Scott’s status as region Crown Attorney. “It is a matter before the courts and these kinds of inter- nal issues are human resources matters on which we don’t com- ment,” Mr. Crawley said. Mr. Scott could not be reached at the Whitby Crown’s office late yesterday. Charges laid in hit-and-run CHARGES from page 1 235 BAYLY ST. W.

A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, February 1, 2002 BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —If you love winter sports, chances are, you weren’t relishing the recent unseasonably mild temperatures. With all the media atten- tion surrounding the record- breaking warm spell — over 10 C — local bait shops say they’re struggling to get the word out that there is still enough thick ice on Lake Scugog for ice fishing. “We’re hearing from peo- ple in Hamilton and St. Catharines who have heard on the radio or TV that all lakes are unsafe this year,” explained Joanne Sullivan, owner of Backbay Outfitters Fishing Tackle and Outer- wear, in Port Perry. While Lake Simcoe is certainly having its troubles, Lake Scugog is another mat- ter, she said. Some open water does exist at the north end of the lake, but there are spots as thick as 10 inches, she said. “It’s the first time the lake has iced this winter. Usually it ices up earlier in Novem- ber. The first ice is the best fishing ice,” Mrs. Sullivan pointed out. “If you go out on it, you’ll actually see the weeds below, it’s so clear.” Anglers don’t have to go very far to find a good spot. Fishing is fine at the Queen Street dock, said Mrs. Sulli- van. She recommends anglers walk, rather than drive out on the ice, and stick to “where the crowds are”, rather than wandering out to areas on their own. In the meantime, lack of snow cover has shut down Scugog’s snowmobile trails for most of January. Port Perry Snowmobile Club president Charlie Harper said his crews have only been out once to groom the trails. They were only open the weekend of Jan. 19 in a “limited fashion”, with all feeder trails closed to riders, he said. “We’ve had to spend a lot of hours and a lot of money clearing brush from the trails whether or not the trails were ready to go,” the president said. “There haven’t been any complaints from riders. Most people realize it is out of our control.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, February 1, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P Fax it The News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Check first, but the ice is nice for fishing in Durham You can afford a home security system.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, February 1, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P Most evenings we can tune into a very convincing commercial sponsored by the provincial gov- ernment regaling us with both the benefits of receiving our ‘free’ flu shots and of the possible tragic consequences to the ungrateful louts who would decline such a benevolent offer. If these shots are free, then who is the benefactor of such a generous gift? Is it a present from the throne of the pharmaceutical empire to the people of this province or is our government pouring more of our hard-earned tax dollars into the overstuffed coffers of these giants? Should the latter be true, then, es- sentially we are paying for our own shots, and dearly at that. We pay dearly because, despite all the vaccines, antibiotics, the up- pers and downers and genetic engi- neering, people are still getting sick and at an astounding rate. Ask any overextended physician (I imagine that would be all of them) what they dispense most? I would ven- ture to say a few minutes of com- passionate time — a few minutes where someone is listening to one’s feelings — is the best prescription medicine, the one that heals. Ob- serve the popularity of chat lines, psychic lines and all form of lines and you can see what we all need most is to connect with someone. Loneliness is a big industry. So, as all our illustrious leaders appear to be giving us something, other than cutbacks, for nothing, the purses of the fashion, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries are growing fatter. We pay a heavy price to try to soothe our souls. In recent years many visionaries began to notice that often people, given the same diagnosis, fare dif- ferently. Some accept the verdict and usually their health either stayed the same or deteriorated. Those who took responsibility for their health by incorporating strate- gies for the healing of mind, body and soul into their daily lives, often cured their ailments. Those who joined support groups and had car- ing support systems lived longer. This is where our dollars need to go — into educating new parents in the healing of their own wounds in order to raise healthy children in a mutually nurturing environment rather than in poverty, fear and ig- norance of past generations. We won’t have to spend billions of dol- lars trying to fix something if it isn’t broken. We are a populace slowly bleeding to death from the wounds of isolation, loneliness and broken spirits. Nurturing environment the key to health care Educating parents in the healing of wounds costs less than the current billions being spent Marcey Collins Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, February 1, 2002 Let’s make 2002 a time for making world a better place To the editor: Last year was very stressful and de- pressing because of the terrorist attacks on the United States Sept. 11. This year, the world will be a little shaky. Our everyday problems seem to be taking over our brains and make us focus on the negative things. We need to concentrate on the positive things, like what we are going to do when we grow up, and not live our lives in shame and regret. This year, we must all pray for the world to be a better place to live in and to be free of all the bad things that can hap- pen. Although the world is not perfect, we should try to make it as perfect as we can.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Embattled Pickering Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick John- son’s re-election to a fifth term as chairman of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Association (CLOCA) can certainly be viewed as a triumph, considering the issues he’s faced in recent months. Coun. Johnson, you may recall, cleared trees last year on Uxbridge-Pickering Town Line and Sideline 8 to access his north Pickering property and drew harsh criticism from several quar- ters. He’s since been ordered by the City of Pickering to restore the property to its original state or the City says it will do it at his expense. In the meantime, he’s the subject of a lawsuit by the Township of Uxbridge, and has countersued both that Township and the City of Pickering, claiming the roads were open allowances that weren’t properly maintained by the authorities charged with doing so. The civil suits will wind their way through the system in the coming months and eventually be dealt with. In the meantime though, we have a councillor who has been accused of environmentally unfriendly actions, raising a question of credibility as he leads a quasi-government body that is pri- marily mandated to protect the area’s natural assets. Following his re-election as chairman, Mr. Johnson said he re- mains a committed conservationist and pointed to his record as chairman of CLOCA. He qualified his comments by noting his “track record speaks for itself. “I am a conservationist, not one of those extreme environ- mentalists who try to protect every fly or nurse every goldfish, but I can live and work with those people.” Indeed, Mr. Johnson’s claim of being a conservationist is re- inforced by his leadership as the CLOCA chairman; the associa- tion’s record tends to bear that out. Still, the spectre of a legal battle between Coun. Johnson and his critics only clouds his record and efforts, strong and tangible as they may be. If, as he claims, Coun. Johnson is committed to conservation practices, he should step aside, even temporarily, as chairman while these civil suits are adequately dealt with. He does bring a depth and breadth of knowledge to the table, and should contin- ue to do so, but in an advisory capacity. Citizens in the community are looking for solutions regarding the dispute over Mr. Johnson’s rural property. It would be diffi- cult for taxpayers to reconcile the issue of civil lawsuits with his leadership of an important authority charged with protecting our natural resources. Mixed message for Pickering citizens Until lawsuits settled, Johnson should step aside as chairman of CLOCA 715 Kingston Rd., Exit 401 at Whites Rd.

One of the Province’s conditions in- cludes an immediate requirement wells be equipped with 24-hour automated monitors, something Durham Region officials say their wells already have. “Our testing of these sources, they’ve always met the Ontario Drink- ing Water objectives for water quality,” added Ken Thomson, director of envi- ronmental services for Durham’s works department. Mr. Thomson said the Region is also in the midst of complying with another condition the Province has imposed, that being hydro-geological studies of the seven suspect wells to determine if they are under the direct influence of surface water. Mr. Thomson said a study on two wells in Sunderland concluded the wells were not under the direct influ- ence of surface water. He said the Re- gion hopes to get studies under way for the other five wells. Two of the wells are located in a gravel pit in the south- west corner of Cannington, two more in the Skinner Springs and Mackie Creek area of Bowmanville, and one on Brock Street in Uxbridge. If any of the wells are found to be under the direct influence of surface water, the Region might have to treat and filter them as they would lake water in the southern municipalities and in Beaverton. Another more likely solution, Mr. Thomson suggested, would be for the Region to abandon contaminated wells and instead dig a deep-drilled well. –– WITH FILES FROM TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE Series: New Beginnings /February 3 “Go Train To Destiny.” 9:00 a.m. Sundays Tel: 905-839-7271 Dunbarton Fairport Church Dunbarton Rd., West of Dixie Rd., Just north of Kingston Rd./Highway #2 Celebrate and Worship with Us You do not need Absolute Faith To Be Welcomed Absolutely!

Thanks to a $1 million donation by OPG, the hospital was able to install the latest equipment to provide lung, bone and cardiac scans. Patients no longer have to travel outside the community for these vital tests. The clinic also provides the most up-to-date screening and diagnostic procedures for cancer and aids physicians in determining the various stage of the disease. “As a company dedicated to generating a significant amount of our electricity production from safe, clean nuclear power here in Durham Region,” said OPG President and CEO Ron Osborne, “it seemed a particularly good fit for us to support this nuclear medicine facility.” HEALTH SYSTEM Excellent Care. Close to Home. A report to the community from Rouge Valley Health System. New MRI means better access to care A cardiac centre of excellence adds another key service Afull-scale celebration was held when it arrived, and today, Rouge Valley’s new MRI is up and running. For many years, there has been a shortage of MRI facilities in the East GTA. Typically, patients in communities that included Scarborough, Pickering and Ajax waited six months or more for MRI services. Now that the machine is up and running at Rouge Valley Centenary, patients in these communities have significantly better access to the latest in imaging technology. “This is something we’ve needed for a very long time,” says Al Whiting, Rouge Valley’s President. “Now waiting times are reduced significantly, and there’s no question that this means better care for our patients.” MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. An MRI scan can see right through bone to image tissues, organs, and fluids such as blood, and is particularly useful in detecting multiple sclerosis, tumours, brain and spine diseases, fluid in the skull, cancer and other diseases in the kidneys, ovaries, uterus and liver. MRI has no known harmful side effects and can help with early detection for better treatment. Toyota Canada President Yoshio Nakatani, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Tony Clement, Scarborough East MPP Steve Gilchrist and Rouge Valley President Al Whiting celebrate the arrival of Rouge Valley’s MRI. Toyota was one of the lead donors in the campaign to raise the $2.5 million needed to purchase the machine. Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Tony Clement gave Rouge Valley Centenary another reason to celebrate with the announcement of a stand-alone angioplasty service at the hospital. “This is something we’ve needed for a very long time,” says Phil Diamond, a former cardiac patient and long-time advocate of bringing additional cardiac services to Rouge Valley. “This is great news for all the patients in this community.” “This is a significant advance,” says Dr. Joe Ricci, the medical director of the cardiac care program at Rouge Valley. “There is no question that having this service here, close to where people live, will provide much better care for our community.” Already regarded as a cardiac centre of excellence, Rouge Valley’s heart-health services include rapid treatment of heart attacks, a state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab; stress testing, echocardiography and nuclear function studies; a permanent pacemaker and implantable defibrillator clinic, and a full service cardiac rehab centre. Angioplasty is a procedure that is performed in the cardiac cath laboratory to open blocked arteries and prevent a heart attack and permanent damage to the heart. It is performed while the patient is awake, and in some cases can eliminate the need for the more invasive bypass surgery. Traditionally, angioplasty is performed in cardiac surgical centres, but with recent advances in cardiac care, it is now routinely performed in non cardiac-surgical centres in many parts of the world. Rouge Valley Centenary is the first hospital in Ontario to be granted permission to perform angioplasty without cardiac surgical services. The new service is scheduled to be up and running in April 2002. Community Calendar Women’s Wednesdays at Rouge Valley Health System Women’s Health and Wellness Services presents a series of speakers in the “Discovering New Possibilities” series on Wednesday nights. Upcoming topics include: •February 6th – Menopause Part Two. Holistic and traditional treatments are explored with speaker Dr. Alvin Pettle. •February 13th – Attitudes Towards Aging.

Whitby resident Phil Diamond was one of the leaders of the Cardiac Care Community Advisory Group that collected more than 20,000 signatures from residents in Scarborough, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and beyond, all of whom supported bringing additional cardiac services to Rouge Valley. “Those cards were a vital part of our success, and I’d like to thank everyone who worked on the campaign, and everyone who took the time to sign those cards,” says Diamond. “I’d also like to thank our local MPPs, including Steve Gilchrist, Janet Ecker and Jim Flaherty,” says Diamond. “Their voices helped persuade the Ministry of Health that it was time deliver those services close to home.” www.excellentcare.com 20,000 signed cards.

NEW & USED VEHICLE CENTRE Super Clean *SALE PRICE PLUS FRT., TAXES, ADMIN., LIC., REBATE ASSIGNED TO DEALER BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —The trucks that wreck the roads should pay to fix them. That’s the premise behind a cam- paign by the Region and some area mu- nicipalities to increase a levy paid by ag- gregate producers. But the past-chairman of the Aggre- gate Producers’ Association of Ontario (APAO) says municipalities already benefit from hosting quarries and pits, even without the levy. The amount currently collected is “clearly not enough to have an impact on road maintenance,” said Jack Mc- Corkell, director of works for Durham Region. “They clearly impact our road system prematurely.” The levy, which has not been changed since 1990 when it was origi- nally created by the Province, is current- ly six cents per tonne. Four cents goes to the local municipality, one cent to the Province and another half-cent goes to a rehabilitation fund for abandoned quar- ries. Only half-a-cent goes to the Re- gion, said Mr. McCorkell. “Most of the heavy traffic ends up on the regional road system,” he said. The Region is sending a letter to the Ontario Good Roads Association asking for its support in lobbying the Province. As well, said Mr. McCorkell, Durham would like to see compensation from ag- gregate companies operating just out- side the regional boundaries but regular- ly using Durham roads. The Region’s actions follow on the heels of comments made earlier this month by Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who raised the issue at a Jan. 7 committee meeting. Since then, Uxbridge and Brock coun- cils have also stated they want more compensation from aggregate producers using their roads. However, Dennis Schmiegelow, past- chairman of APAO,said the real purpose of the levy was not for road maintenance at all. “The real purpose was to provide recompense for municipalities where it involved a lot of municipal planning” to host an aggregate site, he said. On top of the levy, aggregate compa- nies pay municipal taxes as well, Mr. Schmiegelow pointed out, adding road construction and maintenance is one purpose for those taxes. Brian Messerschmidt, provincial manager of aggregate and petroleum re- sources, said the Province is not looking at raising the levy at this time. Not all Ontario quarries are required to follow regulations governing the aggregate in- dustry, he said. Of 155 million metric tonnes produced in the province each year, about 10 million are not regulated, and not levied.

SALE ENDS SUN FEB 3/02 SALE ENDS SUN FEB 3/02 LAST C H A N C E Mariachi bands an integral part of country’s culture BY HABEEB SALLOUM Special to the News Advertiser The mariachis’ words cut deep into my soul as I sat enjoying a Mexican gourmet meal at the Hacienda San José del Refugio, where Herradura tequila, one of the purest tequilas in Mexico, is distilled. In the courtyard of the converted ha- cienda, some 40 kilometres west of Guadalajara, the birthplace of the mari- achis, I listened, spellbound, as these heart-stirring singers serenaded the women in our group. I had heard the mariachis numerous times during many trips to Mexico, but this time their music seemed to envelop me. Their penetrating, lively and light-hearted songs gave me a feeling of elation and, at the same time, sadness — an unforgettable gamut of human passions. No one can better capture the passions and image of Mexico than these colourful singers. Proudly they stood in matching garb overshadowed by huge, broad-rimmed and silver-embroidered sombreros. Their traditional silver-decorated cos- tumes with short jackets, tight-fitting wool pants, ruffled white shirts and shiny point- ed boots gave added colour to their tunes. It is said the mariachis and Mexico are synonymous. Even more Mexican than tequila, also born in Guadalajara, the two go hand in hand when there is folkloric en- tertainment. Mariachis often perform in city squares and plazas, at baptisms, weddings and a type of Catholic mass as well as in local hotels and eateries. Playing the best-known Mexican music in the world, they are part and parcel of almost every carnival, tradi- tional fiesta or festival in Mexico and have become a trademark of the country and its culture. Mariachi music, from its very start, was not only sung but also danced. In the coun- tryside where mariachi has been popular for years, skilful footwork accompanies the songs. The origin of the name, mariachi, is much disputed. Some historians speculate it’s a corruption of the French word mariage (marriage) and was invented when the French Maximilian was emperor. However, the French never came to Guadalajara and the mariachis were play- ing in the 16th century, long before the French era. Others theorize the name is derived from music played at festivals honouring the Virgin Mary and is made up of two words: “Maria” and the Indian Nahuatl diminutive, “chi”. However, the most logical theory is the word has native roots and is derived from a local Coca Indian word meaning a small wooden stage on which the performers dance and sing. No matter how the name was derived, mariachi, in our times, means exciting and enchanting Mexican enter- tainment. At first, traditional mariachi bands only played string instruments that were accom- panied by popular dances like the jarabe. These early mariachis principally played the popular music of the day — a mixture of folk from Spain, Mexico and Africa. By the 19th century, the mariachi had devel- oped and more musical instruments had been added. In modern times, the bands use ordinary guitars, round-backed guitars called vi- huela, deep-voiced guitars called guitarro, violins, at times harps, and, of course, al- ways the blaring trumpets. Mariachi music has become Mexico’s cultural voice, a mixture of cultural, spiri- tual and traditional elements in society. In the last few decades, it has been ex- ported to countries as far away as Europe and Japan. More than the famous tequila, it has made Mexico well-known in many parts of the globe. As I listened to them that afternoon ser- enading the women with emotion-filled voices, in the courtyard of the hacienda, while sipping on another Mexican inven- tion — a margarita — it was easy to see why their music has become so popular.

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) of- fers its last driver-training course for the season Sunday, Feb. 17 at the Long Sault Ridge Runners clubhouse, 320 Sandy Hook Rd. in Pontypool. Riders must be 12 years old or over on the day of the course to be eligible. Successful candidates will receive their snow vehicle operator’s licence under the Mo- torized Vehicles Act. With a licence, riders are per- mitted to snowmobile off their own property and on recognized snowmobile trails with a club’s permission or an OFSC permit, or on private property where written permission has been granted. A person 16 or older must ac- company riders wishing to cross a roadway. This person must have a valid operator’s licence or dri- ver’s licence and take the snow- mobile across for the younger rider. The act prohibits riders from driving on any roadway until they reach the age of 16. Snowmobile operators and any passenger must wear an approved snowmobile helmet at all times and carry proof of ownership, in- surance, snow vehicle operator’s licence and a trail permit for rid- ing on prescribed trails.

Home Sweet HomeHome Sweet Home ADVERTISING FEATURE Enjoy the Timeless Beauty of Shellac (MS) — Shellac — a classic wood finish for furniture and interior wood- work — has been around for hundreds of years. Some of Europe’s finest muse- um pieces still retain their original shel- lac finish. Stradivarius used it to finish his prized violins. Steinway used it to finish his pianos. And, American crafts- men finished furniture and the interior woodwork and floors of most homes with shellac throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. In the mid-20th centu- ry, shellac fell from favour, as consumers turned to synthetic materials, like polyurethane, for their wood finishing projects. But, shellac is experiencing a Renaissance. In fact, if it were introduced today, it would be heralded as revo- lutionary — the “wonder finish” of the 21st century. Here are some of the reasons why: • Shellac makes wood look beautiful. Shellac gives wood a rich warmth and tone with a depth and clarity that enhances its natural beauty like no syn- thetic finish ever can. • Shellac has many other uses. Shellac is not only a great finish for wood furniture, doors, floors, trim and toys: it lit- erally has 1001 other uses. Use shellac as a sealer-fin- ish for art and craft projects like dried flower arrange- ments, pastel drawings and statuary. It’s also handy for repairing scratches in furniture, seal- ing pruned tree branches and more, much more. It’s probably the most versatile finish in the world! • Shellac is a great stain blocker/odour sealer. It forms a barrier that stains and odours cannot penetrate. Use shellac to seal in knots and sap from new wood, water stains on walls and ceilings, musty odors from smoke, fire, mildew and old furniture — even pet odours. No other finish has the seal- ing power of shellac. • Shellac dries quickly. Unlike syn- thetic varnishes, which can take hours to dry and days to cure, shellac is dry and ready to recoat or sand in 45 min- utes. That means that most wood-fin- ishing jobs can be completed in a day or less. • Shellac is non-toxic and environ- mentally friendly. Produced by the tiny Lac Bug, an insect native to India and Thailand, shellac is an all-natural, renewable resource. An environmentally friendly finish, shellac does not create the hazardous waste disposal problem associated with many synthetic fin- ishes. And, because it’s non-toxic when dry, it’s an ideal finish for cribs, high chairs, toys and other objects that require a child-safe fin- ish. A classic wood finish for furniture and interior wood- work, shellac has a multi- tude of uses First time in Eastern Canada! First time in Eastern Canada! Original Thomas Kinkade Painting On Display.

Martin Jr., Cameron Diaz Directed by Dewey Nicks Dave (Sawa), Sam (Segel) and Jeff (Maronna) are the most unconventional slack- ers at school. They manage to ace through their four years of college with a plethora of devious and complex schemes. They’re not lazy, exactly, but just too lazy to follow the necessary rules. Ethan (Schwartzman), the school’s biggest geek, eventually finds out what these suckers are up to and manages to blackmail Dave into helping him hook up with Angela, the most wanted girl on campus. Dave begins to fall in love with her himself and as a result, gets trapped in a moral dilem- ma: should he continue slacking his way through college or be with the hottest babe on campus?

WELL I THOUGHT I’D DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN WHEN I SAW THE NEW DQ MACHO MEAL. I’m not kidding! Most places have missed the mark on triple cheeseburgers. If you are going to serve someone a triple cheeseburger you have to have it all. Why? Because they’re hungry! Not just a triple cheeseburger with the regular fries and drink. It has to be huge. Some think that a truly substantial meal has to be sit down at a restaurant and of course pay restaurant prices or at the very least a full course take out meal. NOT! Let me tell you about our new MACHO MEAL. First may I make on thing abundantly clear. There are three FULL SIZE BURGERS on that fresh sesame seed bun. That’s right. I’m not going to advertise a triple burger and use smaller patties. They are the same patties we use on all our burgers. Over a half pound of meat on one burger! There are two slices of cheese in between. Now how about the fries. We have three sizes. Small, medium and large. You get the large or almost a half pound of spuds. It’s huge. As you know we fry only in pure vegetable oil. Now how about the drink. It’s the large 32 ounce size! Almost a quart of refreshment! Have you tried a DQ burger? The taste is incredible, now multiply it by three! And you can have all the mustard, ketchup, relish, pickles, mayo, onions, lettuce and tomato you want as it is with all our burgers. NO charge as usual. Yes I know. The price has got to be out of this world. Here it is. The whole Shebang for only 5.99. You may pay that much for a signature burger or double burger let alone a triple. Yes you can order it a la carte! And if you want a sundae for dessert it’s only 99 cents (regular 2.19) if you buy it with the meal. Too full? Redeem your sundae coin any day, any week, any month, any year. DQ - SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

During the week of April 22 to 26, Junior Achievement of Durham Region will have volunteers in every Grade 8 class in Durham’s 180 schools, said Donna Raetsen- Kemp, the regional organiza- tion’s president. “Volunteers will be going into the classroom” as part of the program ‘economics of staying in school’ (ESIS), she explained recently to Durham council. Employees of Durham Re- gion as well as local corpora- tions, small businesses and other organizations have vol- unteered their time for the pro- gram, Ms. Raetsen-Kemp said, noting many local service clubs, including many of the area Rotary Clubs and busi- nesses are sponsoring the pro- gram. All four Durham-area school boards are participating in the program, which will reach 10,000 students. “At its core is to encourage students that to stay in school is the best way to success,” said Brad Savage of Junior Achievement. “Volunteers go into the classroom as business profes- sionals, present the ESIS pro- gram in the context of their ca- reer, their experience and their educational background. In the end they’re as much a ca- reer motivator as anything. They’re role models.” Anyone interested in volun- teering with the in-school pro- gram can contact Terri Mil- burn at Junior Achievement at 905-432-2492, ext. 203. Council declared the week of April 22 ESIS week in Durham. Pile up the pancakes in Ajax Feb. 12 AJAX —Pancake lovers will want to stop by St. Paul’s United Church this month.

Pickering Panthers win one, lose one PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers won one and lost one on the weekend, blowing a 3-1 lead in the lat- ter game against North York. Pickering (18-21-5-2 for 43 points) rebounded from Saturday’s loss with a 5-4 victory in a 50-shot effort Sunday against the Ajax Ax- emen in OHA Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League ac- tion. After Ajax scored the game’s first goal, Pickering took the lead for good with consecutive goals from Mike Hanna, Brent Chandler and Ryan Taylor. Ajax scored the fifth goal of the first period to pull within one, but Garett Winder made it 4-2 with the only goal of the second peri- od. Winder added another in the third period to ensure the Axemen’s two goals in that frame weren’t enough to earn the tie. Mike Alexiou had three assists in the game, Hanna and Kyle Aitken provided two helpers apiece, and Winder had one. The Panthers scored a power-play goal in each peri- od and Scott Gray stopped 23 shots. After losing the first game of the season against the Axemen, the Panthers finished the season series with five straight wins. Hanna, Aitken and Ken Hamilton paced the Panthers to a two-goal, first-period lead against the Rangers, with assists from Dan Schofield, Alex Pavlovski, Iain McPhee and Daryl Healey. But the Panthers couldn’t hang on as North York scored two unanswered goals each in the second and third periods, outshooting Pickering 36 to 23 in a 5-3 win. Kevin Kliman made 31 saves for the Panthers. The Panthers currently sit fourth in the South Confer- ence standings, one point better than North York and two better than Thorhill, which has one game in hand. Pickering wraps up its regular season schedule this weekend, beginning Friday, Feb. 1 when the club hosts Wexford at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. A day later the Panthers are in Thornhill for a 7:30 p.m. start.
