Pickering group gets ministry letter to ‘protect the public’ PICKERING —A local group that fought a plan for a water pipeline through Picker- ing says the final nail has been driven into the coffin of the project. The Pickering Community Working Group (PCWG) claims a Feb. 14 letter from the Ontario Environment minister confirms the York Region pro- posed pipeline through Picker- ing is finally dead and cannot come back to life. No more worries on York pipeline BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM ––Jim Flaherty al- ready sounds like a winner. “We have momentum and that’s what makes me optimistic about Saturday,” says the Tory leadership contender and Ajax-Whitby MPP. “Ernie Eves and his supporters thought it was going to be a coro- nation. Now we have a serious two-way race between Eves and me.” When the campaign for the leadership of Ontario’s Conserva- tive Party began five months ago, polls at the time suggested Mr. Eves was a sure bet. But during the course of the contest, Mr. Flaher- ty’s strategy has been one of up- holding the tenets of the ‘Common Sense Revolution.’ His ‘Right Stuff’ campaign has consistently seen him take the most conserva- tive stand on a variety of issues, when compared to his rivals. From Council supports Holland’s bid to back out of Hwy. 401 interchanges deal BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering council stood up Monday night to stop the “runaway train” they say three new Hwy. 401 interchanges in Durham have become. Claiming regional roads pro- jects in the city are being delayed beyond an acceptable time frame because of increased construction costs for the interchanges, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land received unanimous support for a motion he is bringing for- ward to Durham council. He plans to ask regional councillors to pull out of the funding deal with the Province for the interchanges at Carruthers Creek Drive in Ajax RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Goalie kept on his toes PICKERING ––Netminder Gordon Omar manages to stop this shot from getting into the net as he plays a game of pickup hockey with friends in the parking lot of Vaughan Willard Public School. Friend John Moonlight was the unsuccessful shooter. Upbeat Flaherty nears finish line Pickering wants ‘runaway train’ derailed See PIPELINE page 2 See PICKERING page 2 See LEADERSHIP page 5 (currently under construc- tion), Stevenson Road in Os- hawa and Lakeridge Road on the Ajax-Whitby border (both yet to begin). “Look at the capital roads’budget for the Region — $390,000 — one per cent of the entire budget is being spent here in Pickering while this City provides 19 per cent of the entire assess- ment in Durham Region... That’s woefully inade- quate,” he said. “These in- terchanges are already cost- ing us over $30 million and that’s without the increases for Stevenson Road and Lakeridge Road... Car- ruthers Creek has already in- creased 107 per cent over the original cost estimates.” Coun. Holland said plans for improvements to Brock Road are among several oth- ers in the City that have been pushed back more than five years to give the Region time to pay for the ever-in- creasing cost of the inter- changes. He also claims other mu- nicipalities have received 100-per cent funding from the Province for Hwy. 401 interchanges and continuing with the current agreement would set a dangerous precedent where Durham would be on the hook for funding future improve- ments to the 400-series of highways, which are a provincial responsibility. “This has become a run- away train,” added Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner. “At no point did we agree to provide a blank cheque... this is going to drive our priorities not only to the bottom of the list, but off the map.” Ward 3 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson said be- fore pulling out of the inter- change projects, he hopes to hear word from the Province on alternative financing strategies such as the Region covering only the original budgeted costs, having a longer period to pay, or being given an interest-free loan. “I hope the whole deal doesn’t fall apart,” he said, telling council he expects an answer on the proposed al- ternatives from the Ministry of Transportation within days. Coun. Johnson agreed Pickering road projects have been pushed back too far, but he also said it would be the wrong time to damage the Region’s working rela- tionship with the Province by backing out of the fund- ing agreement. He added the Region signed the initial funding agreement to bring the three interchanges up higher on the provincial list of priori- ties, claiming without it, they never would have begun construction so quickly. Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean doesn’t vote at the regional level, but sup- ported the motion and said he knows a raw deal when he sees one. “The 400-series of high- ways are the Province’s re- sponsibility and they should be footing the bill,” he ex- plained, adding driver’s li- cence renewal fees and gas taxes should be going to support provincial roads, not property taxes. Durham’s committee of the whole will consider Coun. Holland’s motion at its March 27 meeting. P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 22, 2002 On Dec. 6, 2001, York Region council passed a resolution authorizing staff to sign a long-term water arrangement with Peel and withdraw the environmental assessment (EA) filed for the Durham west pipeline planned for Pickering. But, the PCWG still wanted to prevent the EA from being refiled on short notice sometime in the future. “We had to protect the public from being surprised by York Region at a later date,” said David Steele, PCWG chairman. “This let- ter gives us that protection.” The letter states if York Region wants to pursue a Lake Ontario water supply via Durham at some future date, it will have to prepare and submit a terms of refer- ence for approval before commencing work on a new EA. Mr. Steele said this would set York back years, giving the community ample time to deal with the matter. In 1996, York com- menced the process of ex- ploring opportunities to ob- tain a long-term supply of water. It was only in late 1999 that Pickering’s com- munity and civic leaders were informed of the signif- icant progress York had made towards a Durham so- lution. The PCWG was formed in early 2000, and began a campaign to stop the project from being ap- proved by the ministry. The project involved tunnelling out four kilome- tres under the lake from a pumping station in Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. From there, the pipeline was to run up Whites Road to Taunton Road and then west to York Region. Citi- zens were concerned about dust, noise, property values, safety, and traffic conges- tion. The PCWG hired a con- sultant, Dillon Engineering, to assist in filing official re- sponses to the environmen- tal assessment. Pickering council remained opposed to the project, as did Durham Region.

Robert Bridgeman, the former coach of the St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School Monarchs foot- ball team, was found guilty in a London, Ont. courtroom of one count each of sexual as- sault and gross indecency against a youth under 18. Mr. Bridge- man now faces an Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) hearing to determine if he has commit- ted profession- al misconduct and, if so, what the penalty will be. Denys Giguere, OCT media relations officer, said the hearing is scheduled for Sept. 18 to 20. “When a hearing is scheduled, that means an (OCT) investi- gation has been completed,” he said in an inter- view. Following a complaint that led to a five- month investi- gation, the London Police Service charged Mr. Bridgeman al- most two years ago for inci- dents that oc- curred in that city between 1983 and 1989. The London Superior Court heard evidence from the victim that Mr. Bridgeman struck up a friendship with him when he was about 10 years old and taught him how to masturbate. “The evi- dence was that it became a routine, there would be mu- tual masturba- tion and later drug use and alcohol use,” Brendan Evans, assis- tant Crown attorney in the County of Mid- dlesex, said in an interview. The Durham Catholic District School Board removed Mr. Bridgeman from the classroom when the charges were laid, but he remains a board employee. Education director Grant Andrews said earlier this month the board is “wrapping up our own work” on the matter, after which a recommendation regarding Mr. Bridgeman will come to the board of trustees. Mr. Andrews said he expected the issue to be dealt with by trustees by the end of the month.

In a Thursday telephone call just before he an- nounced the building of a new Variety Village-type fa- cility for the disabled at Iro- quois Park in Whitby, the fi- nance minister/deputy pre- mier said health care was definitely the number one issue on the minds of the people. “There are underlying is- sues people talk about like taxes and inflation, but peo- ple are concerned that we have strong economic growth so we can afford quality hospitals and schools,” he said. “They want equal access to health care regardless of means, and I agree.” When asked if he would serve in any of his rivals’ cabinets or welcome them in one formed by him, Mr. Fla- herty said, “Sure. I think all the people running for the leadership are all quality people.” He added he thought there would likely be more than one ballot to- morrow when Tories from the 103 Ontario ridings cast their votes to elect the next premier. What would Premier Fla- herty’s first order of busi- ness be? “The budget,” he answers, without hesitation. “The economic plan for the Province for the next year. I’ve been working on it.” As for tomorrow, Mr. Flaherty says, “As every hour goes by, we are more and more confident.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 22, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P Leadership vote Saturday JIM FLAHERTY ‘As every hour goes by, we are more confident’.

I am a lesbian living in Whitby and I thought I would share my input. Why is it that if a bunch of girls go to a prom together it is OK? No one knows if they are straight, lesbian or bisexual. All they know is that a bunch of friends are going together. But when someone finds out he or she is gay, it’s not al- lowed. I attended Monsignor John Pereyma in 1995 and 1996 and no one knew I was gay. The reason for that is because it is nobody’s business. I am very upset be- cause it’s 2002, and still people are so ig- norant. It is his prom, so let the guy go with his boyfriend. If he is going to make others feel uncomfortable, too bad. I am very sorry for him and for others who have not come out or who are going through this situation. Wake up people, it’s not a new thing, and it’s not going to stop. I wish Marc good luck in his efforts, and to those in the closet still. Crystal R. Alves Gay couple has right to enjoy prom To the editor: Re: ‘Gay couple won’t be at prom,’ March 20. I think in today’s society gay people are more accepted. I think Marc Hall has every right to take his boyfriend to the prom. He has every right to be there just the same as everyone else. He is open about it and I give him a lot of credit for that. Let people be what they want to be. I will support him and really hope he gets the opportunity to attend the prom with his boyfriend. Donna Holding Board within its religious rights To the editor: Re: ‘Gay couple won’t be at prom,’March 20. I’m not even Catholic. Perhaps my opinion is unwelcome. But I can’t help myself, so forgive me. Marc Hall’s complaint he cannot take his boyfriend to the prom needs to be put into context. His rights are not the only ones involved. The Catholic school board has stated while it doesn’t condemn homosexuals, it doesn’t want to encourage this lifestyle, citing religious convictions. Wouldn’t forbidding such convictions from religious schools make them public schools? If people send their kids there be- cause they favour the Catholic position on certain matters, then who is really being imposed upon here? Religious freedom is as much a part of the Bill of Rights as pro- tection from discrimination, which really is a ridiculous label for this situation. Marc Hall should act on his faith in the golden rule by either moving to the public board or by sticking to his alleged reli- gious affiliation.

In his nearly seven years in power, Mr. Harris has defined po- litical debate and set the guidelines for policy come election time. He has tapped into a clear constituency — a vast middle- class silent majority — whose concerns about tax cuts, about smaller government and about attacking crime, he clearly heard. And he has forced his opponents to deal with the electorate on his terms. It was so very different a decade ago. At that time, Mr. Har- ris was a political voice in the wilderness, very much the leader of Ontario’s third party, badly trailing the governing NDP and Opposition Liberals. He was little heard from in the media, his tax-fighting platform mocked at a time when NDP finance min- ister Floyd Laughren was jacking up the deficit to pay the Province’s bills. Given virtually no chance of winning a few months before the 1995 election, Mr. Harris ran a superb campaign, promising to slash taxes, cut welfare spending, reduce the size of government and fight crime. Then NDP premier Bob Rae’s record ensured he would lose, but the surprise was Liberal leader Lyn McLeod, who could not produce policies that resonated with voters. Mr. Harris’s Common Sense Revolution won the day, and it is that concise program that still determines policy today. Tories still promise (and deliver) tax cuts, and have held the line on welfare spending as the number of people on assistance dropped throughout their time in government. They have also continued to spend more on health care and education to meet the rising needs a growing province presents, despite criticisms to the con- trary. No doubt there have been slip-ups during the seven-year reign. No government in power for any length of time survives without mistakes. The Walkerton water disaster deeply tarnished Mr. Harris, who was forced to testify during the inquiry and whose government was deemed partly to blame for the May- June 2000 deaths in the town. Some feel the premier cut too many civil service jobs, and was too quick to slash welfare costs. But Mr. Harris came to power as a man on a mission, deter- mined to carry out a program he presented to the voters and which saw him win two straight majority governments. He earned respect for his views, even among those who disagreed with him, because he stood by his beliefs. Those who follow as premier will have to be true to their promises and will have to follow through on their campaign pledges. Mr. Harris has made sure of that.

I have sent letters to all the trustees of the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board and still feel I have not reached far enough. I am appalled by the action taken by the school board. Do they not realize they are condoning and encouraging prejudice? What are they thinking? The efforts that I, along with many other parents, devote to teaching our children acceptance and tolerance is blown away by acts of insensitivity and ignorance like this one. Our world, our community and our schools are in dire need of acceptance on all levels. Can it be deemed acceptable for one child to refuse to play with another child because he/she seems different? That is exactly what Grant Andrews is saying to these high school students in a very clear way. I consider this to be an unchristian; Un-Christ-like act, showing intolerance while encouraging discrimination in our impression- able youth and I am saddened by it. Jude Tunbridge Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —A gay Catholic high school student has found plenty of support for his fight to bring his boyfriend to the prom — but he has yet to change any minds or policies at the Durham Catholic District School Board. A Grade 12 student at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in Oshawa, Marc Hall said the Catholic board is discriminat- ing against him by not allow- ing him to take his partner to the prom, while the school board counters allowing a gay couple to attend would amount to encouraging ho- mosexuality. “Marc is extremely coura- geous, the gay community applauds him and is prepared to support him,” said George Smitherman, Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre-Rosedale, in an interview Thursday morning. “The board is really trying too hard to cling to policies of the past... this is a case of discrimination based on sexual orientation that should not be tolerated.” He represents what he calls a vastly diverse area of Toronto that includes every- one from the very poor to the extremely rich, countless mi- nority groups and the largest gay and lesbian community in the country. He is also On- tario’s first openly gay MPP. “It seems to me the people around him, other students who are not gay, are offering strong support,” he said. But, Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin said the Durham Catholic board has no plans to change its stance. “We don’t have our heads in the sand, we know homo- sexuals exist, we’re just not going to do things that en- courage or condone the prac- tice of homosexuality,” said the board chairman. “Me, personally, I have no interest in changing our stand and neither does the board... we cannot change the teachings of Christ, our beliefs, our reli- gion and our faith and why would we?” She also disagrees with those who say the board is acting in a discriminatory manner. “We’re not discriminating against homosexuals. We say nothing negative against ho- mosexuals... the Ontario Human Rights Code allows for an exception for us to function as a Catholic entity, we’re not doing anything ille- gal, immoral or discriminato- ry,” she said. “This isn’t a board decision and it isn’t a board policy, it is our beliefs and the teachings of Christ... the act of homosexuality is not acceptable.” Ms. Martin added she would appreciate some toler- ance and respect for Catholic beliefs and those who don’t agree shouldn’t attend Catholic schools.

Members rejected Oshawa Trustee Susan Shelter’s sugges- tion Monday night, arguing there are plenty of other ways for parents to get special educa- tion information. “These individuals are volun- teers, who represent different societies in Durham Region,” said board chairman Elizabeth Roy. “The (monthly) meetings already run until about 10 p.m. If there is an ability to access in- formation outside of SEAC that would be encouraged.” SEAC has looked at conduct- ing a question period much like those held at regular school board meetings, said the com- mittee’s chairman Laurie Beat- on. “But the SEAC didn’t feel it was our place to hold a public question period. We barely get through the agenda as it is,” she said. Parents are welcome to at- tend the open meetings and can ask members questions during the meeting’s break, Ms. Beaton pointed out. The DDSB also publishes in- formation about special educa- tion in a guide for parents, which is available on the Inter- net and at the board office, trustees pointed out. Parent con- cerns are often directed to SEAC via staff and trustees themselves, they said. “We are the elected trustees. Parents should come here and then we should refer them to SEAC,” said Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers. There are currently 8,000 stu- dents within the Durham Dis- trict School Board identified with special needs, said Ms. Beaton. “I can’t assure you everyone of those parents has the guide. But the ones I deal with do,” she said. Should parents require spe- cial education information, per- haps bringing those concerns to the board’s public question peri- od is the best forum, added Os- hawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper.Please recycle your News Advertiser!FREEFREE 2 Months Call 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for details WE OFFER SERVICES AND CAREWE OFFER SERVICES AND CARE TO SUIT YOUR NEEDSTO SUIT YOUR NEEDS REASONABLE RATES 534 RODD AVENUE, PICKERING CALL OR DROP BYCALL OR DROP BY (905) 509-2582(905) 509-2582 Professional Nursing Care 24 Hours A Day In-house Physician (On Call 24 Hours) Laboratory X-Ray & Pharmacy Services Podiatric Care Private & Semi-Private Accommodation Cable TV & Phone Varied & Attractive Menu Callbell In Each Suite Laundry Services Air Conditioning Hairdressing & Barber Services Vacation Stays Welcome Free Parking “ Education for the changing workplace” Pickering Campus: (905) 427-3010 Scarborough Campus: (416) 724-1053 Website: www.dbcc.on.ca Full and part-time instructor-lead classes HRDC funding available for current E.I. recipients or if you have received E.I. within the past three years.

A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 22, 2002 BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM –– Her midriff may have launched a million tiny belly tops, but educators say they feel pop icon Britney Spears won’t spell ruin for girls influ- enced by her scant fashions. Low-cut jeans, cut-off shirts, even tattoos and body piercing - Durham District School Board of Education officials chalk it all up to self-expression as young people try to discover them- selves. “Image is a statement of independence,” explains Su- perintendent of Programs Bev Freedman.” I have faith when these young people get older, most will have moved on from Britney Spears.” To be fair, Miss Spears isn’t the only culprit. Flip through any teen magazine and you’ll find a bevy of television and movie per- sonalities baring their bel- lies and stacked cleavages for the camera. But it’s Brit- ney’s transformation from sexy schoolgirl to sweaty and gyrating slave girl that has media-type tongues a- wagging. Certainly, none of Han- nah McLean’s classmates dress that way. The OAC student and Port Perry High School co-student president says Britney has had more of an effect on ‘tweens’, those just starting to make their way out of elementary school and into the high school stream. “Personally, I don’t see anyone having an effect on how we dress. It’s so diverse here,” she says. “I would say your friends have more of an impact, not really celebri- ties.” Grade 9s and Grade 10s, who start out dressing to im- press, are a little more risque in their fashion statement, Miss McLean says. But they eventually start to settle in and fit in with the rest of the crowd, which is comfortably casual, she says. “I think Britney is a little passe now,” says Alan Ne- smith, principal of Eastdale Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa. After 20 years in area high schools, he admits the latest fashions are still a mystery to him. But he can tell you Eastdale’s take on what is deemed appropriate attire. Exposed navels and offensive writing on T-shirts and ball caps are definitely no-nos. “I have to be quite candid with you. I don’t go around looking for exposed navels,” he admits. “It’s certainly in the eye of the beholder. If one person finds enough to send someone home to change, we do.” The DDSB has an “ap- propriate” dress code policy, meaning schools, school community councils and stu- dents come up with their own understanding about ap- propriate dress at their par- ticular school. Belly tops, short shorts and ball caps are a common violation. (In the case of ball caps, not only are they non-hy- genic, but schools regulate their use as a safety measure, explains Mr. Nesmith. By prohibiting them, staff can tell who does or doesn’t be- long on school property.) It’s not usual for students to want to mirror the latest trends in fashion, says Don McLean, board superinten- dent for Whitby schools. Dealing in safety and securi- ty issues with the DDSB, Mr. McLean translated the Province’s new dress code guidelines for schools here, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis as mandated by Queen’s Park. In terms of appropriate fashions, he says students aren’t pushing the envelope any more than they did in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Ms. Freedman remem- bers the lean and lanky British model, Twiggy, as all the rage when she was in her teens. “And she was pretty sexy back then,” she adds. There is a need to worry if young women flirting with their sexuality suddenly start to see their grades slip or take up smoking, Ms. Freed- man points out. Smoking as a form of diet control is one of the biggest concerns in teenage women, but evolv- ing health and physical edu- cation curriculum is address- ing those types of issues, she says. Students in Grades 7, 8 and 9 also learn about dating and wise decision making now. Self-esteem, body image and the role the media has to play are mainstays, Ms. Freedman says. In the end, the superinten- dent sees it as a partnership between parents and educa- tors, with solid values being introduced at home and rein- forced at school. “But we’re realistic. We realize a lot of parents work today and may not see what their children are wearing to school before they leave for work,” she adds. The teen fashion frenzy Bare Britney not hot with high schoolers who have own fashion sense Above, teen and fashion magazines are dominated by midriff-baring fashions illustrating what they see as the cool look for teens. Below, a student fashion show held at All Saints Catholic School in Whitby featured a wild look by model Lisa White. Hannah McLean is student council co-president at Port Perry High School. She says Britney Spears doesn't make much of a fashion impact on fellow students. Comfortable, casual wear is where it's at for her age group. CARL FERENCZ/ News Advertiser photo NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 22, 2002 PAGE 11 A/P ‘A few’local teacher students affected by Catholic union protest BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The Catholic teacher union’s fight with the Province over teacher recertification is stopping some future educators from practising in local schools. Late last month, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’Associa- tion (OECTA) directed its members to refuse student teachers in their classrooms. Student teachers must have at least 40 days of practice teaching experience, supervised by an experienced educator, as part of their studies. John Vesters, the Durham Catholic District School Board’s human resources superintendent, said of the 39 teacher candidates at the York University faculty of edu- cation’s local teacher education sites, “a few are short by five or six days. “We desperately need them in our Catholic schools,” he said. “We’ve interviewed a great many of these people and we’re prepared to offer them positions.” The Province’s teachers’ unions oppose the Education Ministry’s teacher testing program, especially the requirement teachers complete 14 professional development cours- es every five years to remain certi- fied. OECTA, however, is the only union refusing to host practice teachers to protest education facul- ties that offer the recertification courses.Marnie Daly, OECTA’s Durham elementary unit president, charges faculties providing courses “have jumped on board with the government’s recertification pro- gram” for the money, arguing they will take millions of dollars out of teachers’pockets for years. She rejected Education Minister Janet Ecker’s claim in a recent inter- view that the only victims in the ac- tion are student teachers. “Janet Ecker always uses that kind of approach,” said Ms. Daly. “Her approach is always to look to one isolated group and say it is being harmed. Janet Ecker knows as well as the student teachers know that the action is in place not only to benefit current teachers but student teachers.” She said hundreds of local teach- ers who recently received notices from the Ontario College of Teach- ers (OCT), advising them their first, five-year course cycle will soon begin, have sent them back. Ms. Daly said few local student teachers are affected by OECTA’s action. “The majority of the student teachers who are in our schools have completed their practicum,” she said. Education director Grant An- drews said he hopes to find “some accommodation” with the local unit at a meeting next week. “I’m still trying to do that prior to taking di- rect action, action that would result in their return to duty,” he said. Ms. Daly said educators who host student teachers do so voluntar- ily, and there is nothing in the unit’s contract with the board that says they must do it. “I’m waiting to hear what the director has to say,” she said of the meeting.

The East and West Durham units of the Canadian Cancer Society will hold the second annual Relay for Life on May 31 and June 1. From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., teams of 10 or 12 peo- ple will walk, run or stroll around the track at Civic Fields in Oshawa and hopefully raise $250,000 for the fight against cancer. Leading the way will be honorary chair- man and jockey Sandy Hawley, a cancer sur- vivor. He’ll take part in the survivors’ victory lap that will start the relay. At the media launch of the relay on Tues- day, Mr. Hawley, who lives in the region with his family, said the event will be “a lot of fun,” based on his experience last year. “There’s going to be entertainment, food,” he said. “I enjoy going to the tents, meeting people, saying hello.” (A tent will be pitched in the middle of the track for participants.) Diagnosed with malignant melanoma 12 years ago, Mr. Hawley underwent three bouts of surgery to remove cancer from his back, his neck and his lungs, the last operation eight years ago. He’s been healthy since and does all he can to promote cancer prevention. “I’m lucky to be here,” he said. Missing this year from the victory lap will be Bongo the lion, from the Bowmanville Zoo. The mascot from last year’s relay died of cancer in the fall of 2001. His cubs will take his place. The relay will start with the survivors’lap, with about 300 survivors of cancer expected to take part. After that, the teams will take to the track and walk through the night and early morning, raising money through pledges. At 7 p.m., a luminary ceremony will take place, with candles placed around the track in memory of people who have died of cancer and in honour of those who have survived. The candles will be lit and provide illumina- tion and inspiration throughout the night. Teams can be made up of families, friends and work colleagues. At least one team mem- ber must be on the track at all times during the relay. The registration cost is $10 per person and teams are encouraged to raise at least $1,000 in pledges. The person who raises the most money gets a one-year-lease on a new Volk- swagen Beetle, courtesy of Owasco Volkswa- gen and Pickering Volkswagen. For more information or to register, call the East Durham unit at 905-725-1166 or the West Durham unit at 905-686-1516. Candles can be purchased for $5 at Royal Bank branches in Durham and at Cancer Society units (302-171 King St. E., Oshawa, or 9-467 Westney Rd., Ajax.) Last year’s event raised $144,000.

Ajax educators honoured for community work AJAX —Two local educators were recently chosen as role models as part of the Town of Ajax’s Black History Month celebrations. Marilyn Sinclair, principal of Dr. Roberta Bondar Public School in Ajax, and Sarah McDonald, vice-principal of Pickering High School, were named ‘achievers’ by the Ajax Race Relations Committee at a reception held recently at the MacLean Community Centre. Ms. Sinclair has been involved in community volunteer and leadership roles for more than 16 years. She has won praise for outreach initiatives in- cluding a twinning program named Pro- ject Kenya, the Women in Crisis support and for helping to establish the first Caribbean Night celebration. Ms. McDonald has been an active member of the community for more than 21 years. The housing complex in Pickering, Sarah McDonald’s Place, was named after her in honour of her volunteer work. Both women received plaques as well as certificates from the Ontario ministers of education and finance. BEAUTY at the bay One gift per customer, please.

Jim Priestman, president of the Ajax-Pick- ering Dolphins Football Club, told Pickering council Monday the club is in dire need of ad- ditional resources and playing fields this year. The non-profit club, established in 1973, pro- vides an opportunity for boys and girls be- tween the ages of seven and 19 to play, Mr. Priestman reported, noting the organization has seen its membership grow from 60 to more than 700. But, the club has only had one dedicated playing field in Pickering, at Kins- men Park, for the past 29 years, he told coun- cillors. “We use the Kinsmen field from May through November,” said Mr. Priestman, who was accompanied at the meeting by a group of roughly 50 players and their parents. “There is absolutely no time for the field to recover, the problem is we don’t have alterna- tives within Pickering. The field is overused. We’re hoping we can get additional fields,” he said, adding “We understand there is not an over abundance of fields sitting idle.” In an in- terview following his presentation, Mr. Priest- man reported the club has worked well with the Town of Ajax over the years to find space to play in that municipality. “Ajax has provided us with all the ameni- ties we need,” he said, noting the club is intent on establishing that same relationship with Pickering council. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, who con- gratulated the club on its success over the years, said “we’re also non-profit these days and that’s one of our big challenges.” He noted many organizations are prosper- ing in Pickering and said that’s “placing un- paralleled challenges on the city. The frustra- tion you feel is a frustration many are feeling.” He explained while the City has a lack of resources, staff is willing to work with the club to try and help it out. Mr. Priestman said the club will have the use of several fields in Ajax this year, includ- ing at Pickering High School, Ajax High School, Lord Elgin Public School and Arch- bishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School. Mr. Priestman said he recognizes local soccer clubs have a lot of the fields tied up in Pickering, but he’s hopeful progress can be made. “The intent is for the kids to enjoy foot- ball,” he said, noting he would like to avoid having to put youngsters on waiting lists to join a football team. Mr. Priestman also told councillors the infrastructure at the Kinsmen facility is insufficient to meet the club’s needs. He noted there is no running water or elec- tricity and said there is also a lack of change rooms and washroom facilities as well as in- sufficient seating for spectators and inade- quate lighting for night games. “We need to maximize the use of the field and we need some assistance to do so,” he said. Mr. Priestman also said the club needs ad- ditional storage space to house the more than 500 sets of equipment it provides to players.

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRES- TRIAL Starring Dee Wallace-Stone, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore. Directed by Steven Spielberg Twenty years ago, audiences worldwide embraced a new film that almost immediately attained the status of a classic, a movie that touched hearts and minds in equal measure. And now, in celebration of its 20th anniversary, E.T. The Extra- Terrestrial is being re-released in a new edition that includes never- before-seen footage, state-of-the- art computer-generated enhance- ments, and a digitally-remixed soundtrack. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is the thrilling and deeply moving story of the special friendship that de- velops between Elliott, a lonely young boy living in a suburban California community, and a wise, benevolent visitor from another planet who becomes lost on Earth. As Elliott attempts to help his extra-terrestrial companion con- tact his home planet so that he might be rescued, they must elude scientists and government agents determined to apprehend the alien for their own purposes... which re- sults in an adventure greater than anything either of them could have imagined. SORORITY BOYS Starring Barry Watson, Har- land Williams, Michael Rosen- baum, Melissa Sagemiller. Directed by Wal- lace Wolodarsky In this hilari- ous comedy, Dave (Barry Wat- son), Adam (Michael Rosen- baum) and Doofer (Harland Williams) are about to go where no fraternity boys have gone before. The heroes are three playboy chauvinists who, strapped for cash, find themselves drawn to one last, desperate hope for free housing: one of their cam- pus’s sororities, Delta Omicron Gamma (or D.O.G.). With a little makeup and a little pantyhose, Dave, Adam and Doofer go under- cover in the sorority house as Daisy, Adina and Roberta. Every- thing goes according to plan... until Dave falls for Leah (Melissa Sagemiller), the alpha D.O.G. Life’s a drag as the boys see firsthand how the other half lives and their history of treating women badly comes back to haunt them. BLADE II Starring Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman, Luke Goss Directed by Guillermo del Toro After an accident triggers the deadly ‘Blood Tide,’ human/vam- pire warrior Blade must find a way to reverse the process and save the world that has been completely overrun by vampires.

E. AJAX 905-619-9048 See You Tonight BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —The Pickering Players community theatre troupe is putting a tried-and-true classic on stage for its first offering of the 2002 season. American playwright Ten- nessee Williams’ quasi-auto- biographical ‘The Glass Menagerie’ debuts at the Or- chard Villa Retirement Cen- tre auditorium tonight (Fri- day) at 8 p.m. It continues Friday, March 29 at 8 p.m. and concludes Saturday, March 30 at 8:30 p.m., also at the centre. Set in the 1930s in a dingy apartment in St. Louis, ‘The Glass Menagerie’follows the impoverished Wingfields, with their mother as the head of the household, struggling to hold the family together. She lives with her son, Tom, the family’s breadwinner who yearns to break free of his mother’s influence and start out on his own, and daughter Laura, a shy girl who seldom leaves the apart- ment. Players director/producer Lynn Valiquette said the play has proved challenging for the small cast, especially since three of the four actors are teenagers. “It has been a collabora- tive effort with the cast and crew,” said Valiquette, who has been involved in Picker- ing Players’ productions for the past five years. “The cast is very passionate and very excited about it. They’ve put a lot of work into it.” The mother, Amanda Wingfield, is played by Trish Stevens. Kevin Dowse plays Tom and Victoria Dwight plays Laura. Andrew Reeves plays Jim O’Connor, a facto- ry worker who’s a gentleman caller brought home by Tom to meet Laura. Following ‘The Glass Menagerie’, the Pickering Players will begin preparing for its annual ‘Evening of One Acts’in mid-May. Ms. Valiquette said the one acts are a chance for newcomers to the Pickering Players to get their feet wet in the skits that can be as short as 10 minutes. “It’s a great opportunity for people who are new to community theatre. It gives teenagers a chance to per- form and it also gives them a chance to direct,” she said. Through the years, the Pickering Players has been known for its pantomime productions. Produced on a yearly basis, the pantomimes have brought out thespians as young as four years and as old as 60 to become involved in what has become a tradi- tion.Last December,the Play- ers brought ‘The Good, the Bad and the Lovely’ — a western-themed pantomime — to the stage. As always, the production encouraged the audience to boo the bad guys and cheer the good guys. “We try to involve as many people as we can,” noted Ms. Valiquette. She explained the Picker- ing Players is always in search of new actors and for people with an interest in the behind-the-scenes work such as set building, publicity, etc. that forms the foundation on which the troupe is built. “We really want to get more people involved and in- crease the profile of commu- nity theatre in Pickering. Be- cause we don’t have a theatre, we’ve been kind of limited in what we can do. The more people we get involved, the more of a chance we have to join together and approach the City again,” she said. The Orchard Villa Retire- ment Centre is at 1955 Valley Farm Rd., between Finch Av- enue and Hwy. 2. Because of construction in the area, lim- ited parking is available. Tickets at $10 each and available by calling the box office at 416-410-0211. Raf- fle prizes will also be up for grabs. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 22, 2002 PAGE 19 A/P Please recycle!

The board, a ‘quasi-judi- cial tribunal,’ selected by the governor general under direc- tion of the prime minister and cabinet, has begun a new process for reviewing the scope of environmental as- sessments (EAs). The review is being undertaken to ensure its staff have set the appropri- ate level of assessment for projects regulated through the CNSC, said Jim Leveque, spokesman for the commis- sion.The review considers: “is it adequate, does it cover everything, does it cast the net too widely or not widely enough, and is the environ- mental assessment act being respected?” said Mr. Lev- eque, who noted the fusion facility and a proposed restart on the Bruce ‘A’nuclear reac- tors are the first two projects to be subjected to the new re- view process. “Times change,” he relat- ed. “Sometimes proponents or opponents to projects have asked the commission be in- volved in the process at an earlier stage.” The new re- view process is attempting to address that, Mr. Leveque suggested. ITER (International Ther- monuclear Experimental Re- actor) is a proposed interna- tional fusion-research facility Canada is vying to host. If Canada is selected as the site for the $12-billion centre, it will be built in Clarington be- tween the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and the St. Mary’s Cement plant. The economic spinoffs are antici- pated to be worth billions of dollars and as many as 68,000 person-years of em- ployment. The Iter Institute, the operating arm of the Canadian operation, began the EA process last year to prepare for the possibility Canada could be selected as the choice of its international partners in the project — Japan, the European Union and Russia. Its hope is to have the project licensed in time to begin construction in early 2003. The CNSC, which would be responsible for regulating the project if it is built, is charged with the duty of overseeing the project’s EA by the Canadian Environ- mental Assessment Agency. In September 2001, the CNSC announced ITER would undergo a screening level assessment, a process requiring numerous studies on the impact of the environ- ment and surrounding com- munities of the project site. Although very detailed, a screening level assessment is the lesser of two types of EAs. A comprehensive assess- ment, the other form of EA, is generally reserved for pro- jects with greater potential for environmental impacts. For projects where envi- ronmental effects could be uncertain or potentially even more significant, or if there is a high level of community concern related to a project, a review by a panel or mediator from an outside agency such as the Ministry of Environ- ment may be required. This process, while more thor- ough, can also be much more time-consuming. The recent review of the ITER and Bruce A projects was to en- sure the appropriate level of EA is being conducted and to determine if a panel review would be appropriate. The commission’s in- volvement in the early stage of the EA ensures any poten- tial concerns about the EA process are dealt with up front, suggested Mr. Lev- eque. “If the commission gets a way for the process to be more transparent and more open it is less likely to attract criticism and everybody’s better off,” he said. A decision by the CNSC board on the ITER EA is ex- pected by the end of the month. ITER awaits nuclear commission decision NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, March 22, 2002 PAGE 23 P New ITER corporation formed DURHAM —A who’s who of Canadian politics and business will lead Durham’s bid for a fusion research fa- cility to its conclusion. A new not-for-profit cor- poration, Iter Canada Host Inc., has been formed to oversee the Canadian re- sponsibilities in closing Canada’s bid for the building and operating of ITER (In- ternational Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), a fu- sion research and develop- ment centre worth $12 bil- lion. The project is expected to be the last step in research before a demonstration plant can be built somewhere in the world using fusion tech- nology to provide a cleaner, safer energy source. Canada’s bid is to host ITER in Clarington, adjacent to the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. The board’s chairman, Ontario Power Generation chairman Bill Farlinger, fo- cused on the project’s nation- al and international signifi- cance during the announce- ment. “This is an opportunity to spearhead the development of a new global energy source. It is important that we are working now, today, to develop the energy tech- nologies for the future,” he said. The corporation’s board of directors includes former prime minister Brian Mul- roney, former Ontario pre- mier Bob Rae; Ed Lumley, former federal cabinet minis- ter and current vice-chair- man of BMO Nesbitt Burns; Dr. Peter Barnard, chief ex- ecutive officer of Iter Canada Host Inc.; John Beck, CEO of Aecon Construction; Leo de Bever, senior vice-presi- dent of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan; Walter Murray, vice-chairman RBC Domin- ion Securities; Michael No- brega, president, Borealis Capital Corporation; and Alex Taylor, chairman of En- ersource Corporation. “The help of these com- mitted Canadians will bring us even closer to our goal,” said Dr. Barnard. “Canada’s chances of hosting the pro- ject will be substantially in- creased as this group focuses on marketing our country’s bid internationally.” South Practise like the Pros at Ontario’s Premiere Practice Facility - The Academy at Deer Creek The Winning Foursome 905-427-3276 golfdeercreek.com ‘Take pictures and leave footprints’ when you’re away DURHAM —Canadi- ans who travel to warmer climates and return with animals or other illegal items can face criminal charges, reminds the Hu- mane Society of Canada. The Humane Society is asking people to be green tourists and keep the envi- ronment in mind when ex- ploring foreign countries. People vacationing should only “take pictures and leave footprints”, said a press release. Some tourists unknow- ingly bring back things they shouldn’t, and others smuggle animals and ani- mal parts back into the country. “People caught bringing animals or other illegal items into the country can face criminal charges,” said Al Hickey, the society’s western regional director, in the release. Here are some steps tourists can follow to be humane and environmen- tally sound visitors: 1.Don’t purchase prod- ucts made from coral or tropical hardwoods as these items originate in irreplace- able tropical and undersea forests; 2.Don’t acquire ani- mals, animal parts or items made from animals includ- ing skins, ivory items and turtle shells; 3.Leave plants where they are; 4.Learn about the peo- ple, animals, plants and ge- ography of the countries you are visiting; 5.Don’t feed, scare or interfere with wild animals; 6.Patronize small, local businesses that are environ- mentally friendly; 7. Support local environ- mental and conservation ef- forts; 8.Travel established roads, trails and paths; 9.Travel in an environ- mentally friendly manner; walk, bicycle or use vehi- cles that carry several peo- ple at a time; 10. Conserve water and use it in a wise manner; 11.Turn off fans, air- conditioners and lights when not in use. Minimize your use of these energy- dependent items; 12.Eliminate or reduce your use of chemical pesti- cides. Try wearing long sleeve shirts and using mosquito nets to keep mos- quitoes away; 13.Use local guides and join environmentally friendly tourist groups; 14.Purchase arts and crafts that are not made from animals or plants; 15.Stay at locally owned facilities — avoid resorts; 16.Don’t be involved, either directly or indirectly, with anything that causes or leads to animal suffer- ing. Report animal cruelty and environmental viola- tions to the proper authori- ties; 17. When possible, trav- el during the ‘off-season’to minimize environmental impacts experienced during popular tourist periods; 18.Follow the 3 ‘Rs’ — reduce, reuse and recycle whenever possible; 19.Minimize your use of disposable items and dis- pose of these items appro- priately; and 20.Share your environ- mentally friendly experi- ences with friends, family and others when you return home. You might even offer to provide an educational presentation to other inter- ested environmentally friendly travellers at your local library or similar venue.

The Monarchs — the num- ber-one seed at the 16-team On- tario Federation of School Ath- letic Association ‘AAA’champi- onships — suffered a 5-2 loss to the St. Thomas Aquinas Flames of London in the gold-medal final at Peterborough’s Evinrude Centre Wednesday night. The loss snapped a 29-0-1 unbeaten string for St. Mary and the five goals against were the most the team has surrendered this season. The loss represented the sec- ond time in as many years the Monarchs came within a game of capturing OFSAA gold, set- tling for silver on both occa- sions. Teacher supervisor Lori Brown said although the result was disappointing, her players are nonetheless happy. “As we’ve been telling the girls, we didn’t lose gold, we won silver,” said Brown. “I’m not going to say the girls are thrilled. We had never played them before and after the game some of the girls were saying ‘can we play them again?’ So we’re not giving up.” Brown noted St. Thomas’ game plan of keeping close tabs on St. Mary snipers Ashley Riggs and Jennifer Sadler worked to a large degree as Sadler, with 12 goals earlier in the OFSAA tournament, was kept off the scoreboard. A wrist injury to defenceman Jessica Judges in the semifinal also lim- ited her effectiveness in the final. “They definitely kept on top of our best players,” said Brown. “It’s strategy, of course, and it affected our game. But, Ashley Riggs and Jennifer Sadler are used to it. It was not the end we had hoped for, but to finish sec- ond in Ontario wasn’t disap- pointing.” The game got off to a tough start for the Monarchs as St. Thomas Aquinas scored off a bouncing puck that eluded goal- tender Quinn Caggiula. The Flames scored later in the period to take a 2-0 lead. Sadler scored in the second period, but two consecutive power-play markers by the Flames put them up 4-1 in the third. St. Thomas Aquinas scored once more in the third before Melissa Gaudet notched a late goal to end the scoring. The Monarchs won four straight to end up in the final, in- cluding a 2-1 overtime victory over arch-rivals Our Lady of Mount Carmel from Missis- sauga — the team that beat St. Mary for gold in 2001. “We wanted to beat Mount Carmel,” noted Brown. “In a tough gold-medal game last year we lost eight min- utes into the 10-minute sudden-death overtime period with a short bench. We said at the time ‘give us a healthy, full team and let’s see if we can beat them’ and that’s what we did.” Riggs was the hero for the Monarchs in the semifinal game, scoring early in overtime. Sadler scored in regulation time. St. Mary started the champi- onships with an 8-4 win over Grand River from Kitchener. Riggs, with four, Gaudet, with two, Judges and Catherine Kerr scored. Next, St. Mary trimmed Au- rora 7-0. Riggs scored five goals; Melissa Meikle and Megan Friel added singles. In their last pool-play con- test, St. Mary silenced Ancaster 7-0, with Caggiula posting her second shutout. Kerr netted a hat trick, Sadler had two and Amanda Morra and Nicole Ruta chipped in with one goal apiece. Brown noted the Monarchs are well positioned for another gold-medal run next season, as the team loses only two seniors — Meikle and Gaudet — to graduation.

MacLean, Baetz-Dougan lead team with individual, duet first-place finishes DURHAM —The Durham Synchro Club scored top marks at the recent Gloucester Syn- chro Club competition. Four provincial ‘B’ teams and two duet rou- tines represented the Durham club. The first day of competition in synchronized swimming involves the judging of technical skills on an individual level. Each team mem- ber’s scores are combined to give a ranking for the team routine that fol- lows later in the meet. Julia MacLean and Brianna MacLellan received gold and silver respectively in figures for the 11- and-under age group. Sophie Baetz-Dougan and Katie LePage also received gold and silver respectively for figures in the 12 to 14 group. The scores from the figures com- petition resulted in the 11-and-under team placing fifth out of nine teams. For the 12 to 14 group, Durham’s teams placed second and eighth out of the 16 entrants. The following day, the 11-and-under athletes turned in an outstanding team performance to earn a bronze medal. The duet team of MacLean and MacLellan received gold. For the 12 to 14 group, Durham produced a silver medal and an eighth place standing. The Durham Synchro Club duet team of Baetz-Dougan and LePage brought home a gold medal.

The games bring together On- tario athletes every two years to compete in 23 sports. Ajax and Pickering sent 37 athletes to the games, held recently in Guelph. Charlotte Snape, 14, of Picker- ing, won gold as part of the four- member Central Region trampoline team. Each athlete competed in a com- pulsory, an optional, and a final rou- tine. Of each routine the three best of four scores were utilized for cal- culating position. Only the team score counted. Central Region garnered scores of 76.50, 91.70, and 94.20 for a total of 262.40, an outstanding 10.50 points clear of the second-place South-West club in the six-team field. The team trains at Skyriders Trampoline Place in Richmond Hill. Dane Sharp, of Pickering, helped the Toronto and District team win gold in men’s squash. Toronto de- feated Western Ontario 7-1 in games in the final. Allison Madeley, of Ajax, helped the six-member Central Ontario team to gold in the air-rifle shooting competition. Central Ontario fin- ished with a combined total of 3,208 points, finishing well ahead of sec- ond-place Western Ontario, which had 3,140. Patrick Tremblay-Sabourin, of Ajax, captured individual gold in men’s judo in the 51-kilo weight class. Meanwhile, Central-East teammate Dylan Cave, also of Ajax, earned the silver medal in the 60- kilo weight class. The Durham Synchro Club’s 12- to 14-year-old team captured a sil- ver medal. Team members were Tristin Gavin, Katie LePage, Jordan Anderson, Cassie Kolodzinski, So- phie Baetz-Dougan, Emily Bremn- er, Brianna McLellan and Julia MacLean. Michele Lopers and Hol- ley Lundmark coached the team. In ringette, the Central Ontario team — with a large contingent of Ajax and Pickering players — won silver after dropping a 2-0 decision to Eastern Ontario in the gold- medal final. On the team from Ajax were Jennifer Ross, Mary Faux and Lindsey Blakey. Laura Hill, Court- ney Howell, Jenna Clements, Kelly McNabney and Courtney Puddister were Pickering members of the team. Caitlin Hiller and brother Aaron Hiller, of Ajax, won medals in freestyle skiing. Caitlin won silver in the youth women’s category, while Aaron captured bronze in ju- venile men’s. Matthew Locke, of Pickering’s Liverpool Boxing Club, finished with the silver medal in the junior ‘A’ 34-kilo weight class. He lost in the final to Joshua Cameron of the Border City Boxing Club. Nicole Ruta, of Pickering, and Dorothy Aniuk, of Ajax, helped the North York Aeros team to a bronze- medal in women’s hockey. North York defeated Mississauga 3-2 in the battle for third.

AJAX —Coming back after the March break, the Ajax Ladies Basketball League opened with an end-to-end battle between East Side Mario’s and the Bank of Montre- al. In a well-played contest, the teams set- tled for a 36-36 draw. Neither side dominated but both were able to capitalize in the early going. Bank of Montreal enjoyed a height advantage but failed to get the inside plays and, in- stead, relied on its outside shooting. East Side also used the long shot to get their points. Kelly Stouffer had 12 points for the bankers; Krystal Green netted 10 for East Side. In the closing game, Select Food Prod- ucts posted a comfortable 44-25 victory over Et Tu Caesar’s. In the first half, Select used its running game to open up a large lead. Caesar’s had plenty of scoring opportunities but could- n’t capitalize. Caesar’s came out strongly in the sec- ond half and went basket for basket, but was unable to undo the first-half damage. Colleen Wetering posted a game-high 16 points for Select, while Carol Stephen- son replied with 15 for Caesar’s.
