Prepare for ‘potentially violent’ spring Durham Regional Police say turf war appears to be escalating BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Police in this region are preparing for a “potentially violent spring” as tensions be- tween rival outlaw motorcycle gangs appear to esca- late. In a somewhat unusual move, the Durham Re- gional Police force issued a news release Thursday warning of increased biker activity expected in the coming weeks, putting the public as well as gang members on notice. Police are “readying themselves and advising the public about a potentially violent spring and summer of activity among competing motorcycle gangs,” says the statement issued by Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Sgt. Malik says a “turf war” in southern Ontario between clubs “appears to be escalating and police believe rival gangs have begun to arm themselves in anticipation of future conflicts.” Arch rivals the Hells Angels and Bandidos (for- merly members of the Rock Machine) waged war in Quebec through the 1990s, claiming more than 100 lives. Police here have predicted a clash for territory since both clubs expanded into Ontario in 2000. The first drops of biker blood were shed in the province in Oshawa last December. A Bandido member was stabbed in the parking lot of a Bloor Street strip club and well-known hangout for mem- bers of the Hells Angels’ Oshawa chapter in an ap- parent “gang-related” ambush. The victim, Eric ‘The Red’ MacMillan, an Os- hawa man identified as sergeant-at-arms on the Ban- didos Web site, was whisked to hospital in a car that See COMMUNITY page 2 Pickering gets plenty of access suggestions Community groups offer 17 recommendations BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Few people attend Pickering council meetings on a regular basis. David Steele is one of them. He is best described as a con- cerned citizen and head of the group Pickering Ajax Citizens To- gether for the Environment (PACT).

Most of council has listened to the complaints of Mr. Steele and others, and an ef- fort has begun to improve accessi- bility to the polit- ical process. It started back in October 2001 when council asked City staff to report on changes it was suggesting and eventually led to councillors di- recting staff to hold discussions with residents and community groups to get their opinion on how public ac- cess could be im- proved. Staff was to report back to Pickering’s com- mittee of the whole April 8. A meeting was held in March between City staff and Mr. Steele, Craig Bamford and Paul White of the Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association, Paul Kelland of the Pickering East Shore Communi- ty Association, and Martin Her- zog of the Liver- pool West Com- munity Associa- tion. Each commu- nity association had a chance to air its concerns, leading to a con- sensus on 17 rec- ommendations. Among them were requests to have the full agenda, includ- ing backup docu- ments and re- ports, available to the public, e- mailing and fax- ing the entire document to associa- tions if requested, distributing it ear- lier, and posting it on the City’s Web site. The groups also asked that the public be notified of development applications 14 days prior to meet- ings and public notification time- lines on all agenda items be length- ened for all committees of council. “We need improved public ac- cess. The average member of the public trying to get the information can’t,” said Mr. Steele. “Every indi- vidual has the right to go in front of council. Things are happening in their neighbourhoods that they don’t know about or they may find out about too late.” He also noted April 8 came and went without the recommendations being considered by councillors and he wants to know why. “I expected them to deal with this in a timely fashion,” he said.

As a result of a miscalculation, 400 graduating teachers who had planned to write the four-hour morning test in Toronto have been assigned to write it in Hamilton. “What a fiasco — I live in Whitby, so I’ll either have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to be at the test site by 7:30 or pay for a hotel room the night before,” an incensed Deborah Whelan said Monday. The 23-year-old student at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Ed- ucation at the University of Toron- to said she also has been told she cannot bring food into the test, even though she is hypoglycemic and will need something to eat during the morning. “What do they think I’m going to do — bring a cheat sheet in with my juice box? It’s all so dis- organized,” said Ms. Whelan, who already has been offered a condi- tional job from the Durham Catholic District School Board to teach high school English this September. Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer confirmed Tuesday this year’s test will not count. “I have had an opportunity to review this initiative and will pro- ceed with a provincewide field trial for the first year of the test,” she said in a re- lease. “This is consistent with the advice and input received from education stakeholders. This test is im- portant for teacher candi- dates. The provincewide field trial is a prudent step to further validate the test and en- sure that it is fair, accurate and effective.” Durham teacher repre- sentatives called the move a good first step, but maintained the entire program, which includes the recertifica- tion of experi- enced teachers, should be scrapped. “It’s a good gesture,” said Bob McDonnell, president of the Durham Secondary branch of the Ontario English Catholic Teach- ers’ Association. “It’s good to see that they’re at least responding to some of the concerns that have been raised for months and months now.” He said the entry test for new teachers is not needed at all be- cause newcomers to the profes- sion “are already being evaluated by their faculties” of education, where programs have been accred- ited by the Education Ministry. Mr. McDonnell said the provincial backtracking on the entry test is a public relations ex- ercise, as is testing experienced teachers. Shelley Page, Durham presi- dent of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, said the government move should be the first small step towards can- celling teacher testing al- together. “I never thought that the entry test made any sense at all, so if they’re reflecting on the wisdom of having an entry test... then I guess putting it off is the smallest gesture one can expect,” she said. Ms. Page said the entry test is a “reference test”, which means some new teachers, “fully li- censed to teach”, will fail. “How is that helping to solve the teachers’ shortage?” she asked. Bob Willsher, chair- man of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, predicted there would be more an- nouncements like this from the ministry as it tries “to soften relation- ships with teachers and boards. “Clearly, up to this point in time, the government has been hard-nosed about this testing and professional development as well.” But Mr. Willsher said “time will tell” if the government is sin- cerely interested in making policy changes or is merely trying to appease educators. “We’ve been saying for some time there’s many things that need to be addressed by this government,” he said. “The whole relationship with teachers is one this board has been concerned about for some time.” — WITH FILES FROM TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 26, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P SHELLEY PAGE ‘I never thought that the entry test made any sense at all.’ Teacher tests this weekend only a practice run $24.99 For Lube, Oil & Filter, Tire Rotation and 20 Point Inspection Offer is for up to 5 litres of Kendall 5w30 or 10w30, and oil filter value doesn’t exceed $8.00 Offer valid until June 30,2002 COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE 1755 Plummer St. Pickering, Ontario L1W 3S1 (Just off Brock Rd. and Bayly St.) M.M.

He suffered a deep stomach wound and sur- vived. Since the incident, there have been “several recent altercations” involving suspected bike-gang asso- ciates, as well as a handful of arrests and weapons seizures in this region and others in Ontario, says Sgt. Malik. Also of concern to local authorities are uncon- firmed reports the Outlaws plan to lay down roots in Durham Region with a clubhouse in Pickering. The Outlaws, sworn en- emies of the Hells, are aligned with the Bandidos. Police say the clubs have been actively recruit- ing new members. The Oshawa Hells chap- ter, called the club’s fastest growing in the country, now has more than 20 full- patch and prospect mem- bers, as well as several other associates with “hang-around” status, says Detective Constable Dan McKinnon, of the force’s outlaw motorcycle gang squad. The local chapter also has a growing number of puppet clubs, he says. “There is definitely ten- sion building up. It’s a lot of escalation and specula- tion right now. “We’re not trying to alarm people, we just want to make them aware, give the public the heads up,” says Det. Const. McKin- non. “There’s going to be large numbers of Hells An- gels around the region this summer and lots of activi- ty.” He says police plan to keep a “close eye” on gang activity including summer biker runs and the annual gathering of Hells Angels and associates at the club’s Caesarea marina com- pound, known as the “On the Road” party. Meanwhile, police said they arrested the sergeant- at-arms of the Oshawa Hells Angels chapter early Friday for breaching bail conditions. Gary Malcolm Liv- ingston, 38, is accused of being out past curfew and violating a condition ban- ning him from possessing any Hells paraphernalia. Police arrested him out- side his Courtice residence at 12:30 a.m. Two gold chains with medallions bearing the club’s name were seized, police said. Mr. Livingston was originally released on $10,000 bail, with strict terms, after being charged with assault causing bodily harm and forcible confine- ment of an Oshawa teen last November. Now also charged with two counts of breach of recognizance, he was de- tained pending a bail hear- ing.

Yet, our federal and provincial governments have had no difficulty in af- fording massive tax cuts. The tax cuts were in large part funded by delisting medical services and by reducing federal health transfer payments from 40 per cent of the provincial cost to the current 10 per cent. Study after study has shown a two-tier system does not hold down costs, it merely robs the public system of top-rate practi- tioners and ensures poor quality service to the less wealthy. Yet our provincial govern- ment continues to contract to private com- panies for home-care services, radiology and new hospital construction (Brampton). Surely, it is merely common sense that a pri- vately owned company, driven to make as much profit as possible, cannot build and maintain a hospital for less money than a non-profit government-owned facility. The solution lies in establishing commu- nity-based, cost-efficient clinics that are op- erated on a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week basis by practitioners who are paid a flat rat, not by a per-service fee. The Ontario gov- ernment knows this but is resisting this so- lution because of political pressure from doctors who fear losing their high incomes. It is also necessary for the federal gov- ernment to increase taxes slightly (the Roy Romanow commission estimates by a mere $300 per year) in order to increase federal health transfers to the 50-per cent level and to make them direct and accountable. It took hard work by committed citizens to make the dream of universal health care a reality for millions of Canadians. It is up to us as citizens to let our governments know we will not allow them to disband it piece- meal.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER APRIL 26, 2002 Is it me, or does the world move a little too quickly in the 21st centu- ry? I was listening to a radio program last week and an American profes- sor mentioned how society does not waste time anymore. With the ad- vent of faxes, cellphones, the Inter- net, e-mail, ABMs, online banking, and any other new gadget that comes along, is it any wonder we have little time to waste? Everything is completed and processed quickly and speed is ex- pected in return. Wasting time has become anathema in our society. With all these new tools, one would think our lives would be a little less hectic with the extra high-tech help. Yet, as adults, we race from one thing to another — family commit- ments, work deadlines, meetings, personal engagements and get-to- gethers, without taking the time... to waste a little of it. Wasn’t it only a generation or two ago, the experts were predicting we would have so much leisure time on our hands we wouldn’t know what to do with it all? Work weeks would be cut down to three or four days, hobbies and recreational activ- ities would grow dramatically, and time spent relaxing would increase so greatly as to necessitate courses on how to deal with this newfound leisure time. Maybe I fell asleep during the movie, but I see people working more hours (in fact, I believed the aforementioned professor men- tioned a 10-hour weekly increase in the last 20 to 30 years), while often holding down two jobs and balanc- ing work, family and leisure time like an acrobat on a tightrope. We overbook ourselves until there’s nothing left for us. Unfortunately, I don’t have any answers. I do see the rise of con- sumerism, where we must get at all costs (and I do include myself in that number) and that we must keep spending and producing and spend- ing and producing until we end up like the little hamster in the wheel, out of gas, or fallen off the wheel. Short of checking out of society and becoming a hermit, there’s got to be a better way to find a little extra downtime. Until then, I’m sure I have some shopping to do, or maybe it was a walk down to the lake I had planned. I think I’ll choose the latter... I’ve got some time to waste. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Time out! We have to learn to relax, people! From family commitments, to work and meetings, there doesn’t seem to be enough hours If you’ve ever wondered if there are any tangible benefits to high school extracurricular activities, you need look no farther than schools in Ajax and Pickering. If you thought extracurriculars for high school students was primarily about camera clubs and intramural sports, think again. Since the revival of extracurricular activities for students — and it should be noted some schools in the community did man- age to offer a modified schedule during the three-year dispute between the provincial government and teachers — much has occurred to underscore the importance of these high school tra- ditions. Teachers across Ontario, you might remember, withdrew their services over the Mike Harris government’s approach to education policy. The full-bore return of extracurriculars locally has resulted in: Another Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations silver medal for the girls’hockey team at St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School, placing them second best in Ontario. St. Mary students have also achieved great success against opponents on the football field and on the basketball court. At Pickering High School, students there came in second in a national ‘Smart Ask’ competition similar to the old ‘Reach for the Top’ quiz show. As well, schools that abandoned extracurriculars altogether have made a great effort in reviving them. Clearly, extracurriculars serve an important purpose in pro- viding the types of life lessons students may not learn in the classroom or from a textbook. They foster personal growth for young men and women preparing for their entry into the adult world. Sports teams, for instance, illustrate the importance of self-discipline and teamwork. They teach students to rely on one another and work collectively toward a common goal. Extracurriculars provide an opportunity for students to shine in their particular discipline, whether it’s in the arts or at the ice rink. It teaches them how to deal constructively with disappoint- ment, and how to celebrate a group achievement. Moreover, these activities help teachers stitch together a more complete re- lationship with their young charges in settings outside the class- room, and provide guidance unrelated to algebra equations or sentence structures. The lessons learned by students who participate, much like the lessons they learn in their core subjects, will serve them throughout their lives. If you’ve ever wondered if there are any tangible benefits to high school extracurriculars, you need look no farther than schools in Ajax and Pickering. The extras benefits are all around us Return of high school activities paying off for Ajax, Pickering students Dennis Kivlahan Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Pickering school’s loonie day inspires thousands to take part this year BY SARAH TEPER Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —William Dunbar Public School is at it again. For the second year in a row, the Pickering school is taking part in raising money for autism research funds. ‘Toonie for Autism Day’ is this Friday, April 26 (today) where all students are asked to bring in a toonie. Bonnie McPhail, co- chairman of day’s organizing committee, said the event will help “make peo- ple more aware of autism”. William Dun- bar students, however, are not alone in their ef- forts. Ms. McPhail, co- chairman Ron Harrison, and other volunteers have helped spread the day to schools across Ontario. Currently 235 schools and 102,000 staff and students are par- ticipating in the campaign, with the numbers growing every day, said Mr. Harrison. “It’s the single biggest (autism) campaign ever,” he said. Durham, Toronto, Dufferin- Peel, and Niagara District are among the public, Catholic and French boards taking part. In addition, 25 companies have taken pledge packages and plan to do something as well, said Ms. McPhail. “Everything is going along re- ally well,” she said. “We’ve had a great response, more than we’ve anticipated.” Last year’s campaign was in- spired by Durham Regional Police Sergeant John Keating, who start- ed cycling across the United States to raise money and awareness for autism on April 26, 2001. He cy- cled more than 11,700 kilometres and raised more than $1 million. On April 27, 2001, William Dunbar held a ‘Loonie for Autism Day’ and raised $601. Ms. McPhail said it’s not too late to participate and schools can still join the campaign, even if they are unable to take part this week.Anyone interested in mak- ing a donation (all contributions of $20 or more will receive a tax re- ceipt) or for more information, can call the Autism Society of Ontario at 1-800-472-7789 or 416-246- 9592.

The firm Diamond- Schmidt has been chosen to undertake the design for two new academic buildings and a library, soon to be built on the college campus in north Oshawa. The university, which has been promised $60 million in provincial money to get started, is scheduled to take in its first students in Sep- tember 2003. “On April 2 we ended up picking one of the world’s great architects to create what we are determined will be one of the world’s great campuses,” said Gary Polonsky, Durham College president. “Jack Diamond and Don Schmidt have been creating sensational build- ings around the world for years.” Mr. Polonsky said for the next couple of years the campus will be full of cranes, dirt and construc- tion. “Where there are parking lots today, there will be green space,” he said. “Where there is green space, there will be some parking lots. And where there are some buildings, they won’t be there anymore. We will be much larger, much more beautiful, and much more modern.” Mr. Polonsky said the campus will present oppor- tunities for students and fac- ulty to encounter one anoth- er through a series of paths, connecting courtyards and buildings. “In addition to the stu- dent imperative, there will be a very important research capacity created,” he said. “Our destiny is to become a major research university.” The Centre for Integrated Justice Studies has just opened at the college and by this summer, more new buildings will be ready: a new south wing, the Inte- grated Manufacturing Cen- tre, and a new student resi- dence. In addition, Mr. Polonsky said construction on four other building will begin by the end of the year and be ready for summer 2004. Two new academic build- ings, a library for both the college and university, and a cafeteria that will have the flexibility to be converted into a performing arts space, are scheduled for the near future. “We’re not talking about a 10-year wish list,” said Mr. Polonsky. “We are talking about a two-year reality.” Diamond-Schmidt has an international reputation that ranges from a city hall in Jerusalem, to a symphony hall in Detroit, and a $100- million computer-science research building for the University of Toronto. The firm was chosen from a field of 40. Mr. Schmidt said he is excited to be part of the pro- ject. “It’s an extraordinary op- portunity to participate in a really great educational ven- ture,” he said.

Distribution is part of the provincial nuclear emer- gency plan (PNEP), and is being co-ordinated by the Durham Region Health De- partment and Durham Emergency Measures Of- fice (DEMO). In the event of a serious nuclear acci- dent, radio-iodine may be released. The KI pills pro- tect the thyroid gland, pre- venting or reducing the ab- sorption of radio-iodine. “KI pills are to be taken only upon direction from Emergency Measures On- tario as a protective mea- sure for dealing with the ef- fects of a nuclear emer- gency,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical of- ficer of health. Under the PNEP, the pills are made available to people who live or work within an approximate three-kilometre radius, known as the contiguous zone, of the Pickering or Darlington nuclear stations. In Pickering, the bound- aries are Whites Road in the west, Hwy. 401 in the north and Duffins Creek to the east. Drug stores with the pills are the Bay Ridges Pharmacy on Bayly Street, Guardian Main Drug Mart on Glenanna Road and the Liver- pool Pharmacy on Krosno Boulevard. In Darling- ton, the bound- aries are Cour- tice Road to the west, Baseline Road to the north and Wa- verley Road to the east. Phar- macies with the tablets are Guardian Drugs at 130 Waverley Rd. and Courtice Guardian Pharmacy at 2727 Courtice Rd. The pills, which have been distributed for years, come with an expiry date and should be replaced at that time. For those living outside the three-kilometre zone, pills will be provided at reception centres set up in the event of a nuclear emer- gency. “The recommended dosage is found on informa- tion sheets delivered with the tablets,” Dr. Kyle added. For more information on the tablets or the PNEP, call the health department at 905-723-8521 or 1-800- 841-2729, ext. 2289, or call DEMO at 905-430-2792 or 1-877-938-7426.

Whitby Marc Hall makes his pitch for prom May 6 and 7 DURHAM —Marc Hall’s court case will be heard in Whitby in two weeks. The gay Oshawa high school stu- dent is seeking an injunction against the Durham Catholic District School Board and Michael Powers, principal of Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School, which would en- able him to bring his boyfriend to the school’s May 10 prom. Mr. Powers refused Mr. Hall’s re- quest, a decision supported by trustees at the April 8 board meeting. The board says same-sex dating is homosexual behaviour, which the Catholic Church does not condone. Two days after the board meeting, Mr. Hall announced he was suing the board. Because he is not an adult, Toronto MPP George Smitherman, one of Mr. Hall’s supporters and a homosexual, will act as his litigation guardian. Lawyers for Mr. Hall and the board in a recent conference call agreed to set aside May 6 and 7 for the case. It will be heard at the Ontario Su- perior Court of Justice on Rossland Road. Peter Lauwers of Miller Thomson Barristers and Solicitors is represent- ing the board. In an interview he said it’s unlikely, but not impossible, that witnesses will testify. “This kind of a case, an interlocu- tory injunction, normally goes by way of paper,” said Mr. Lauwers. He explained Mr. Hall’s lawyer, David Corbett, has filed sworn, writ- ten witness statements, or affidavits, with the court and he will be doing the same. In court, each lawyer will have the right to cross-examine the state- ments. Mr. Hall is also seeking an injunc- tion to prevent the prom from being cancelled altogether, along with $100,000 in damages, and declara- tions that the board and Mr. Powers violated his rights under the Canadi- an Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Education Act. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 26, 2002 PAGE 11 A/P The fight continues... Ten years after her daughter Kristen’s murder, Donna French continues to raise awareness BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —It was Thursday, April 16, 1992 when 15-year-old Kris- ten French was abducted from a church parking lot in St. Catharines. She had reportedly stopped on her way home from school to give a young couple directions when they dragged her into their car and sped away. Fourteen days after that her body was found and only later would her family discover she was one of the vic- tims in one of this country’s most hor- rific crimes. On the 10-year anniversary of the abduction, as her killers Karla Homol- ka and Paul Bernardo languished in separate penitentiaries, Kristen’s mother Donna French came to Picker- ing. She came as a special guest of Dun- barton High School students, and told them about her experience, her pain, her loss and what they can do to end the violence that took her daughter and still plagues society today. “Each and every one of us is a po- tential victim,” she told the crowd of more than 400. “Yes, it can happen and it does. Every one of us has a responsi- bility to try and reduce violence. Vio- lence affects us all.” Mrs. French described the experi- ence of discovering her daughter was missing. She said feelings of “shock” and “fear” turned quickly into “no sleep that night and for many nights to come. “I remember jumping every time the phone rang, praying it was Kristen, but I soon had no doubt someone had taken her.” She also spoke of the deep sadness the family experienced when Kristen’s body was finally discovered. It was April 30 and police had found a young girl’s body in nearby Burlington. Mrs. French said she re- members praying it wouldn’t be her daughter, but knowing somehow it was. Then police came to her home, sat her and her husband down and gave them the news. Police said they found her in a field, it looked like she was sleeping, but she had been sexually as- saulted and asphyxiated. “In that moment our family crum- bled,” she said. “We would never be the same again. Someone would forev- er be missing.” But, Mrs. French also reminded the Dunbarton students her experiences are not all that uncommon. “Our story is just one of many,” she said describing several meetings with families also hit hard by violence over the last 10 years. “The list goes on and on.” In addition to encouraging people to end violence in their own communi- ties, Mrs. French is a proponent for victims rights and is also fighting for changes to section 7.45 of the Criminal Code, a “loophole” that allows con- victed murderers to apply for parole after 15 years of imprisonment. “It makes a farce out of our life sen- tence,” she said. “The result is they’re back in society after 15 years. Is that justice? I think not.” She said she would continue to lobby for changes to the code and never forget those who took her daugh- ter away — the sick and depraved cou- ple she describes as “pure evil. “Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka took her youth, her innocence and her life, but they could not take her spirit. Still, for a grieving family they took too much.” Mrs. French admits she is still grieving, but added breaking the cycle of violence is a cause worth dredging up old feelings of pain and sorrow for. “We will not tolerate violence. Tak- ing violence out of our society is our responsibility,” she said. “Together we can make a difference.” DONNA FRENCH ‘Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka took her youth, her innocence and her life, but they could not take her spirit.’Just the fax: 905-683-7363 Gay high school student gets his day in court MARC HALL Wants boyfriend at prom.

With that in mind, a local woodlot may provide just the place. Volunteers are needed for the Frenchman’s Bay Watershed Rehabil- itation Project group’s ‘spring into ac- tion’ event Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to noon at Alex Robertson Park, on Sandy Beach Road, south of Bayly Street. A variety of trees and shrubs are being planted in the area to help revi- talize it. Participants are asked to bring a small shovel or hand trowel for the planting, and mustn’t be afraid of getting their hands dirty. There will be a barbecue after- wards at the Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club. Restoring the woodlot is a part of the group’s commitment to restoring biodiversity in the watershed. For more information, call Angela Porteous, project co-ordinator, at 905- 420-4660, ext. 2212. Brew up a camping trip for kids in need DURHAM —Have a cup of cof- fee, or two, for a good cause May 15. Tim Hortons outlets will be donat- ing all coffee profits to the Tim Hor- tons Children’s Foundations that day. The annual fund-raiser helps more than 9,000 underprivileged children go to camp. Additional camp funding also comes from donations through counter and drive-through coin boxes. Individual stores hold their own events, so look for barbecues and pie- throwing contests. Camps are located in Parry Sound, Ont.; Tatamagouche, N.S.; Kananask- is, Alb.; Quyon, Que.; Camp- bellsville, Kentucky and St. George, Ont. Last year’s Camp Day at Tim Hor- tons raised over $4 million and sent more than 7,500 children to camp. Organizations interested in help- ing with the day can call Shelley Old- field at 905-339-6324.

But the Ministry of Natural Resources denies it’s aware of any illegal activity occurring be- cause of the strike. Mark Russell, district investi- gator with the Ontario Conserva- tion Officers Association’s (OCOA) Aurora district, said spring is a critical time of year and there’s no one protecting fish while they’re spawning or ani- mals from being poached. “Because people know that conservation officers are on strike, they are being blatant abusers of the law,” he said. “They have no fear of that con- servation officer jumping out from behind a tree.” The Aurora district covers the regions of Durham,York, Halton, Peel and the City of Toronto. But Paul Demers, spokesman for the Ministry of Natural Re- sources, said he hasn’t been made aware of any illegal activi- ty. “I think that most of the peo- ple in the province are law-abiding,” he said. “People who care about the natural re- sources are usual- ly the ones that are the most law- abiding.” Mr. Demers added there are enforcement su- pervisors on the job working to protect wildlife and natural re- sources, but be- cause of the strike, the number has been reduced to about 28 from 221 across the province. “These are conservation offi- cers,” he said. “But they are also the bosses of the conservation offi- cers. In their man- aging role, they are excluded from the strike.” While Mr. Russell said he has not witnessed any illegal activi- ty, he said there are signs that it is happening. “In the Durham Region, in me taking my family for walks and visiting other relatives across the region, I’ve seen numerous vi- olations,” he maintained. “If I can see them in a matter of a half- an-hour’s drive home, then there is a lot of it occurring.” Mr. Demers encouraged peo- ple to report those abusing the law. “If anyone does know of any activity that is happening illegal- ly, whether it’s conservation re- lated or neighbourhood watch, the police should be called,” he said. “There are actions the min- istry can take if there’s illegal ac- tivities that happen.” Across Ontario, 45,000 gov- ernment workers are off the job in the six-week-old strike.

The Durham child is still being treated at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Chil- dren, which tested a similar number of people at the beginning of the week who may have been exposed to the disease in its neonatal intensive care unit between Dec. 5, 2001 and Feb. 5, 2002. The Durham baby was one of those infected and therefore the call went out to anyone who may have come into contact with the baby at Lakeridge Health Oshawa when the infant was a patient April 8 to 12. The local child was transferred back to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto April 12 where treatment is ongoing. It is doubtful any active cases of TB will be discovered but because the illness can be so devastating to young children all infants who may have been exposed are automatically receiving antibiotics. For those adults who tested positive, it does not nec- essarily mean they have active TB disease. “These people are being seen by their own physicians for assessment and follow-up,” says Ms. Collins. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 26, 2002 PAGE 23 A/P TB tests done on 350 over two-day period Rouge Valley hospitals announce new CEO AJAX —Rouge Valley Health Sys- tem (RVHS), operator of hospital sites in Ajax and Scarborough, has named a new chief executive officer to replace Allan Whiting. Mr. Whiting announced his retire- ment in late 2001. Hume Martin, currently chief re- gional officer and executive director of Alberta Children’s Hospital of the Cal- gary Regional Health Authority, takes over July 8. Greg Anderson, chairman of the RVHS board of directors, said Mr. Martin is the right person to take over at this time. “He has a strong track record of de- cisiveness and an ability to assist boards in choosing their priorities wisely,” said Mr. Anderson. “We are confident that under Mr. Martin’s lead- ership Rouge Valley will continue to grow, to improve its facilities and ser- vices, and to make new inroads in pro- viding the best health care possible to the people of east Toronto and west Durham.” Mr. Martin has more than 20 years of experience in health-care adminis- tration. He joined the senior management team of North York General Hospital in 1982 and was appointed hospital president in 1986. Three years later, Mr. Martin left Toronto to become ex- ecutive director of the Bermuda Hospi- tals Board, and in 1994 returned to Canada as CEO of the Essex County District Health Council in Windsor. Since 1997, Mr. Martin’s work with Alberta Children’s Hospital has in- cluded serving on the Calgary Region- al Health Authority’s (CRHA) senior management team, with responsibility for strategic and service planning, sys- tem performance measurement and policy development. In 2000, Mr. Martin was appointed executive director of the Alberta Chil- dren’s Hospital, with overall manage- ment responsibility for women’s and child health services in the Calgary re- gion and tertiary services in southern Alberta. Home Sweet HomeHome Sweet Home Spring has arrived. It’s now the ideal time for routine maintenance on your garage door. GARAGA INC. offers you some practical and easy tips to help your door maintain its shine. The Door: To clean your door, use a gentle soap (e.g. dishwashing soap) with a car brush and thor- oughly rinse with a garden hose. For those tough stains, use an all purpose detergent for vinyl (e.g. Hertel). Do not use abrasive cleaners or other strong liquids. To stop the bad effects of acid rain and the ultra- violet rays of the sun, once a year, apply a liquid car wax to protect its lustre and give back its brightness. It is better to apply the wax during a non- sunny period. The Weatherstripping: If the weatherstripping is made of rubber (quality P.V.C.) we suggest cleaning it with an all-purpose detergent for vinyl, the same as you use for your garden furniture (e.g. Hertel) and then thoroughly rinse. Lubricate the weatherstripping every two months (more often depending on usage) with a sil- icone based product. Do not use lubricant with a petroleum base: the petroleum attacks rub- ber, which must remain flexible. The tracks, rollers and springs: Lubricate rollers and hinges with some motor oil. Do not use any lubricant with petroleum base because, aside from lubricating, it has the property of degreasing. Use motor oil for the tracks, especially in the curve. To prolong your springs’ useful life, apply motor oil and wipe off the excess oil with a cloth. The Electric Operator Once every month, do the maintenance on your elec- tric operator. Work the door manually. It must be well bal- anced. If the door is not bal- anced, contact a qualified garage door installer. Check if your door opens and close com- pletely. If necessary, adjust lim- its and/or force. Most garage door openers come with two knobs for these adjustments. Consult your owner’s manual. Check the safety revers- ing sensor. The door must reverse on contact if an object or a person is under it. Also, check if your photo sensors are cor- rectly plugged in and aligned. The door should reverse if any object passes through the beam. The opener does not require additional lubrication. Do not permit children to play with the opener. Keep the remote control in an inaccessi- ble location. Spring is Here!

But, Ajax Fire and Emer- gency Services wants residents to be careful their barbecue isn’t Old Smokey. “Propane and natural gas barbecues are safe and conve- nient if you maintain and use them properly,” said Thom Evered,Ajax chief fire preven- tion officer. Unfortunately, many people are needlessly in- jured every year while lighting their barbecue, he added. Before start- ing the barbecue, test all connec- tions and hoses for leaks by using a 50-50 so- lution of soap and water. Don’t use matches, lighters or flames to check for leaks. Check for in- sect nests and spider webs, as clogged tubes can cause a fire. Replace worn and rusted parts, while old or corroded burners should also be replaced. Clean everything thorough- ly. Light the match or lighter before opening the valve. And, always barbecue in a well-ventilated area, away from windows and com- bustible surfaces. If you smell gas, immedi- ately shut off the supply from the tank and turn off the burn- er controls. Extinguish any open flame and open the grill lid to venti- late the gas. Should the odour continue, contact your gas supplier or the fire department. Other items not to forget in- clude: • When moving your propane cylinder from one spot to another, be sure all valves are closed and the can- ister is in an upright position; • Keep children a safe dis- tance away, as the barbecue surface is hot and can cause burns; • Never leave a lit barbecue unattended; • After cooking, always turns off the barbecue and turn off the gas supply; and • Always follow the manu- facturer’s instructions before using or repairing your barbe- cue.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 26, 2002 PAGE 25 A/P Amnesty group turns 25 Durham residents making a difference in fight against political persecution BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —It was visions of impris- onment and torture that drove Dorothy Westney to do something about human rights abuses taking place around the world. In 1977, the former teacher and Ajax resident was watching a ‘Man Alive’ news program about political prisoners being cruelly punished in foreign countries and was so moved she had to do something about it. Twenty-five years later, there are 281 residents from across Durham Region working as part of a group with Ms. Westney to dedicate themselves to helping deliver people worldwide from persecution because of their po- litical beliefs. April 23 marked the 25th anniver- sary of Amnesty International Group 90 Ajax and Pickering. Amnesty In- ternational is a worldwide organiza- tion dedicated to advocating the re- lease of political prisoners and vic- tims of inhumane treatment. Alex Neve, secretary general for Amnesty International Canada, was the guest speaker at a special celebra- tion which also included music and other entertainment. Over the years, Ms. Westney has written many letters and recalled some successful stories, including one government that gave in to the flood of letters and public pressure. “One chap was getting so many letters all over the world,” she said. “The governor of the state called him and said ‘take your box of letters and get out of here, I never want to see you again’.” Ms. Westney admitted she never expects to hear of success stories, but adds it’s rewarding when she does. “When reading something like that I think, ‘why doesn’t everybody be- long to (Amnesty International)?’We could do so much better.” The more people who write, the better the chance the prisoner has, she said. “It is the volume; (the govern- ment) is afraid of public opinion.” The local Amnesty chapter was formed after Ms. Westney and a small group of her friends began writing letters to Ottawa out of their local churches to rally for their causes. And the group’s work is far from done. “There are many countries still not caring of human life,” Ms. Westney said. “They don’t have the same value we put on it. Life’s expendable.” Membership for Amnesty Interna- tional is $35 yearly. That includes a bulletin every two months with a list of causes to write for. There are also special speakers at meetings, such as Stephanie Coward, a musician, actor and activist against capital punishment, who performed at the recent March 23 gathering. Ms. Westney also admitted the success of Group 90 wasn’t foreseen when the letter writing began. “I think it’s the loyalty of all those in the past that have joined and have kept up their membership even though they move away,” Ms. West- ney said. “That’s why it’s grown.” But, she added, in order to keep growing, it’s important to get the young people of the community inter- ested. “We’re not going to be around forever, so there must be young peo- ple to take it up,” she said. Call 905-683-4721 for more infor- mation. Dorothy Westney peruses some of the information cru- cial to the efforts of the local Amnesty International chapter. The Ajax resident was one of the founders of the local chapter.

A lesson learned on drinking and driving It takes a mighty effort to get that blood-alcohol level over .08 BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM —How many drinks does it take before you can be charged with exceeding a .08 blood-alcohol concentration (BAC)? Probably a lot more than you think. Recently, I was given a unique op- portunity to see how much I could drink before blowing over .08. By the time I reached the deadly number there was no way I could have driven home — I was loaded like a gun. Drinking is not a big pastime for me and I’m frequently labelled a ‘cheap drunk’, so when the Durham Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Durham Regional Po- lice asked me how much I thought I could drink without blowing over .08, I thought four ounces would get me there, or pretty close. The BAC experiment I participated in is part of MADD’s attempt to prove people are too impaired to drive by the time they hit a BAC of .05, never mind .08. MADD has been lobbying the federal government to have the BAC dropped to .05. After all seven participants arrived by limousine and were fed a moderate lunch (two sandwiches and a couple of bonbons for me), it was noon and time for the good times to roll. My drink of choice was the traditional screwdriver — two ounces of vodka with orange juice as the mix. The first one went down fast and though I am ashamed to admit it, it did have a slight effect. I would have thought if I got into my car with a slight buzz I could kiss my licence goodbye for the next year, the tradi- tional penalty for those convicted on the first offence for drunk driving. Not so. After finishing my second double — about an hour after I began drinking — my head was a whirlpool. There was no way I could have driven and stayed in my own lane — yet I could have driven without losing my licence. I took the breathalyser and roadside test, but was only at .038 not even halfway there. I walked a straight line (I think), said the alpha- bet, and was able to touch my nose. Although an observer who doesn’t know me could have been fooled into believing I was OK, I was buzzing like a bee. The numbers came as a surprise to me. I’m 5-foot-5 and only 110 pounds, so the likelihood of blowing over .08 after two doubles in just an hour seemed high. My test results were recorded, then MADD and the police threw me back into the lion’s drinking den to guzzle even more. Quickly I began to forget I had only met one or two people in the room — now everyone was becoming my friend. By six ounces, I was in se- rious blabbering, chucklehead mode; in other words, drunk. I also began to look hammered — as those who were stone cold sober pointed out. My eyes were bloodshot, glassy and lazy, my face burning red. I slurped back an- other. By my fourth and last drink, it was storytime through slurred words — the kind where you start telling strangers about the time you got drunk and... I wasn’t just drunk any- more, I was toasted. I wouldn’t have been able to ride a bicycle without crashing it into the nearest ditch, never mind being able to drive my car. My police officer friend, who I like to call my ‘drinking coach,’ recorded what time I finished my fourth drink — about two-and-a-half hours since beginning my first — and sent me to do the tests again 15 minutes later. By this point, I wanted to blow over so I could stop drinking. By test time, I wasn’t sitting, but falling, into the chair in front of the breathalyser and then blew a number I was amazed to see: just .077, not even .08. I said my alphabet, mixing up one or two of the letters, couldn’t stop laughing at the officer testing me, could barely follow his pen with my eyes, never mind do it at a quick pace. I felt like one of those people on the TV show ‘COPS’ who cause viewers to laugh because of how drunk they are. I’d had enough of the game and was tapped out. I asked if I was re- quired to keep drinking and clearly noted how much I wanted to stop — there was no way my next sip could have gone down. Instead of forcing me to continue, we waited another 15 minutes to see if my reading changed. Half an hour after my last drink — without having anything else, I final- ly hit and exceeded the legal limit — I blew .102 or 102 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. The reason for the higher breathal- yser reading, according to the police, is that it takes about half-an-hour after your last drink to reach your BAC peak. So three hours after beginning my first of eight ounces of vodka I finally blew over — I had no idea how drunk you have to be for the Criminal Code to deem you incapable of driving. Be- fore doing the test, I would have thought someone could have blown over after feeling just a little buzzed. Some might say, “Well my friend only had four beers in a couple of hours and blew over.”After doing this test, my own response to that is, how much did your friend drink before those four beers? It wasn’t so much how many drinks I could consume that scared me, but how thoroughly drunk I was by the time I actually blew over. True, the eight ounces might not have as se- vere an effect on a 200-pound man, but after drinking them, he’s not like- ly to blow nearly as high as I did, ei- ther. Of the seven participants in the MADD study, only one said he was totally fine to drive after consuming four ounces of alcohol. Of the six people who said they wouldn’t drive, everyone blew under .05. Two laws people often confuse are impaired driving and exceeding .08 BAC. The charge of impaired driving can be brought against any motorist show- ing impairment to operate a vehicle due to lack of sleep, or consumption of drugs or alcohol, regardless of the breathalyser reading. Exceeding .08 BAC pertains strict- ly to the amount of alcohol consumed by a driver. Currently, when someone blows .05 to .0799, he faces a 12-hour licence suspension. MADD will use the results from the BAC experiment to try and con- vince the federal government the charge needs to be lowered to exceed- ing .05. Reporter Crystal Crimi tries to focus during a test to see how much alco- hol she could consume before being considered legally impaired. Her ex- perience taught her a lot about the effects alochol has on her body.

Directed by James Isaac In the year 2455, long after humans have abandoned Earth, professor Yilo and his students of archeology are on a field trip to the old planet now contami- nated and abandoned for cen- turies. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place they once fled - not to live, but to research the artifacts of the lost civiliza- tions. Soon, they discover a re- search facility where two people are cryogenically frozen: one a young woman, the other a male in a strange mask. The students bring the bodies back to their spaceship in hopes of resuscitating them. There’s only one problem: the auto-re- generation procedure has some- how been triggered. The frozen cryo-jell is melting like a block of ice and soon the two bodies will thaw and deteriorate! With time running out, the young explorers return to their starship and blast-off for Earth II, where they are surprisingly able to revive Rowan, the young woman. But very soon, these students will come face-to-face with a shocking, totally new form of evil as Jason comes back to life as well and begins to silently stalk them through the corridors of the spacecraft. LIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT Starring Angelina Jolie, Ed- ward Burns, Tony Shalhoub, Christian Kane. Directed by Stephen Herek. What would you do if you thought you only had one week left to live? Would you radically change what was left of your life? Re-evaluate your values and priorities? Those are the last questions in the world Lanie Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie) thought she’d ever have to face. A feature re- porter at a Seattle television sta- tion, Lanie thinks her life is per- fect. Perfect job. Perfect apart- ment. Perfect wardrobe. Perfect boyfriend. But her ‘perfect’ world starts unravelling after a homeless street seer (Tony Shalhoub) tells Lanie she leads a meaningless existence, and will die the fol- lowing week. When the savant’s other predictions come true, Lanie begins to re-examine her life and priorities, all in a whirl- wind one-week period. As if things weren’t crazy enough for Lanie, romantic sparks fly as she reluctantly teams with a cameraman (Ed- ward Burns) with whom she has long been at odds. FRANK MCKLUSKY, C.I. Starring Dave Sheridan, Frank Monaco. Directed by Arlene Sanford. Frank McKlusky is an insur- ance claims investigator who takes his job a little too serious- ly. As a child, he watched his daredevil father wipe out in a horribly-conceived motorcycle stunt and since then, Frank’s de- veloped an unhealthy aversion to any kind of risk: he lives with his parents, wears a helmet every- where he goes and lives his life strictly by the rules.

Two weeks ago we told you about our Day manager Lisa’s pursuit of her Master’s degree in the fall. Well on the weekend our Store Manager Ryan pursued a different master. The one he will marry! Just kidding! Ryan married his equestrian sweetheart Carey Ann on Saturday. It was a beautiful sunny day as I entered Pickering United Church on Church street at 3 pm. Part of our wedding gift to Ryan and Carey was a video of his wedding. Since we produce our own videos at the store it would be a piece of cake. As I set up my tripod I heard Ryan and Carey say “I DO” and at 3:15 everyone was leaving! Probably the fastest wedding I’ve ever attended. The last thing I remember was Ryan’s sister Erin (who used to work for us) popping up through the sun roof of the white stretch limo, her golden hair dancing in the wind, waving to everyone like a rock star as it sped away. Of course a number of staff and former staff were invited to the reception including Lisa and her husband Geoff. Everyone looked so beautiful including Ryan’s sister Erin fresh from a double burn at Fabutan and 5 hours at the hairdresser. Ryan’s Mom, Linda (who also works for us) was transformed for this day. She said it was Erin’s hairdresser who did it. Most of all my wife Sherry looked absolutely stunning for the occasion. The highlight of the reception was when Ryan looked at Carey during his toast and said how beautiful she looked as she walked down the aisle. Ryan will be back to work next week after he and Carey get settled in their new home in Brooklin. Of course a raise was in order to keep Ryan’s mind off his new mortgage. But we miss him already because running a million dollar business requires a lot of skill and most of all you have to love what you do. At age 16 years old I knew the food business was for me. I learned everything from my father and took over his business and then we started our own. Our hope is that Ryan will one day buy us out and have his own business. There is nothing like the freedom of being able to call your own shots. In honour of Ryan and Carey’s wedding bring this article in and our staff will give you a free 5 oz cone. No strings!

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 26, 2002 PAGE 29 A/P Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER APRIL 26, 2002 Community news online at durhamregion.comBerlin rivals Paris, London for intrigue Once an isolated outpost, Berlin is now a gateway between the East and West BY JANE STOKES At any time of day and night now, Berliners walk, cycle, drive, skate and jog between the east and west neigh- bourhoods of the city, back and forth where the Berlin Wall used to be. In- deed, residents and tourists alike also seem oblivious when crossing the old demarcation area they called “no man’s land”, where only 12 years ago they would have been shot. Berliners remember no man’s land exceedingly well. They remember the 30-metre wide death-strip; the empty zone of grassland between the outer and inner walls that literally locked in half the city. It was the Soviet-built buffer zone for the Berlin Wall and it was re- served solely for guard towers, watch- dogs and guns. Berliners can’t forget the prolonged torment and yet, Germany’s capital city is rebuilding at such a rapid pace now newcomers can’t be expected to fully appreciate the freedom to just come and go. I recall the last time I was here, standing at the wall on the western side, trying to peer up and over the four metre-high, 155 metre-long concrete barricade to get a better look at the dark and sombre Russian stronghold that was East Berlin. On my side, the free side, West Berliners had come to lay scores of white crosses and flowers throughout the years, each one in memory of an un- successful escape. During its 28-year existence, at least 160 people lost their lives in desperate attempts to cross no man’s land, until one day in 1989, the Wall — which had been separating the frontiers of capitalism and communism — was suddenly chopped up, leading to the full reunification of Germany as the Soviet Union collapsed. All at once Berlin found itself strad- dling the border of two distinct, but no longer separate worlds. Overnight the city changed from an isolated outpost in Soviet territory to the official gateway between East and West. The city’s entire foundation is a living museum and in- deed, it is attracting attention. There is no doubt it is the former East Berlin that western visitors come to see — and while the city is intent on re- building and blending all of Berlin to- gether to create one, dynamic European hub, still, most people will visit Berlin for its extraordinary past. The chance, for example, to see rem- nants of the communist reign, up close and personal, is an invaluable eye-open- er for our immediate generation. In the century preceding it too, Berlin was the intellectual heart of Imperial Prussia and therefore, centre stage for science, med- icine, education, technology, and the arts — and for entertainment. Indeed, after dark the city was equally identified for its raunchy nightclubs and adult- only cabarets. If you are like most Berliners howev- er, you may prefer to view this city on the leading edge for fine art, the per- forming arts, academics, architecture, fashion, hospitality and cuisine. The threat of nuclear holocaust taught Berliners to live like there was no to- morrow — and it has taken no time for its youth to step in and make up for lost time. To make the most of a brief time here, consider taking an orientation city bus tour. There are plenty of them at all hours of the day, including a ‘hop-on, hop-off’ ticket that encourages the free- dom to explore more than a dozen major sites. Germany’s capital city is now home to the ballet, the symphony, three opera houses, 150 theatres, 170 muse- ums and 300 galleries. More information on Berlin and all of Germany is available at www.ger- many-tourism.de. — News Canada The Brandenburg Gate remains a popular tourist stop for travellers in Europe.

Dave Ballingall’s first call came mid-afternoon in the fall of 1974. As a private citizen he fre- quently heard the fire alarm, an air-raid siren, wail- ing throughout the town of Port Perry. This time it was calling him. He got into his ve- hicle and drove to the fire hall, hopped on a truck and headed to an auto wrecking yard. Employees were cutting up cars and the sparks had started a grass fire. “I wondered what the heck I was going to do and how I was going to do it,” says Mr. Ballingall, now district chief for the Township of Scugog. That day, he was instructed to pull a hose off the truck. “They let me spray a little bit of water around,” he adds. There has been a complete turnaround in fire- fighter training since Mr. Ballingall first donned his gear. Firefighters are constantly learning new skills and upgrading their training throughout their careers. Yet, what they’re learning has less to do with battling blazes than ever before. The volunteer department in Scugog reports 75 per cent of its responses are to medical calls and motor vehicle collisions. Twenty-five per cent are fire-related. Meanwhile, Whitby Fire and Emer- gency Services saw a dramatic jump in the number of medical calls it responded to in 2001. Firefight- ers handled 453 more calls last year than in 2000 for ailments like difficulty breathing, heart attacks and chest pains for a total of 1,548 calls. They re- sponded to 444 motor vehicle collisions and just 146 fires. “It’s evolved from the basic response to house fires, miscellaneous calls, accidents, wires down and garbage can fires,” says Whitby Chief Kent MacCarl. “The fire department is pretty much a catch-all. It’s really difficult to keep the skills up.” While firefighters now routinely respond to medical calls, it wasn’t until the late 1970s fire- fighters in Whitby were even trained in CPR. They only had basic training in artificial respiration. “CPR came along and it was a really big thing,” Chief MacCarl says. “We spent hours and hours practicing. I can remember some people’s lips turning blue.” Back then, they learned to administer CPR on mannequins and had to provide a precise amount of air that was measured and recorded by a print- out. CPR was a stepping-stone into tiered re- sponse, which means police, ambulance and fire services attend a call. The Whitby department has been involved in tiered response for 17 years. “Availability is part of it. (There’s) the opportu- nity we can be there when (paramedics) can’t or before them. The focus is to save lives.” In the 1980s, firefighters began responding to an increasing number of serious car crashes and underwent training through the Ontario Fire Col- lege in extrication of people from vehicles. They spent a week in a wrecking yard tearing apart cars, says Chief MacCarl. The purpose was to familiarize themselves with a variety of vehicles they may encounter during rescue efforts. That’s also when the Jaws of Life and other heavy rescue equipment became a part of their response to col- lisions. Firefighters also take part in ice and water rescues, respond to carbon monoxide alarms, free children locked in vehicles and rescue people trapped in elevators. Calls to handle hazardous materials were sporadic prior to Sept. 11. Follow- ing the terrorist attacks, fire departments fielded a lot more inquiries about suspicious packages and substances in light of the threat of biological and chemical warfare. Anthrax, a colourless, odorless bacteria that can cause flu-like symptoms if spores are inhaled, turned up at media and government offices in the United States. Officials speculated the cases were terrorist-related. “There were numerous calls after Sept. 11,” says Chief MacCarl. “It put us all under a lot of strain.” The department was accustomed to one or two hazardous materials calls a year and that climbed to an average of three calls a month dur- ing October, November and December of 2001. That required collaboration with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office for direction. Firefighters’respon- sibilities shifted simultaneously with the decrease of fires. “Over the past 15 years, there has been a de- cline in fires across North America,” says Thom Evered, chief fire prevention officer for Ajax Fire and Emergency Services. He says firefighters of the past extinguished blazes as a reactive response to fire. Today, there’s equal effort in a proactive approach through fire prevention. “Just being in the public eye really makes a difference,” he notes. The Ajax department teaches fire safety to seniors, physically-challenged residents and babysitters and reaches school children from pre-school to Grade 8 through its Learn Not to Burn program. Beginning May 1, firefighters will go door-to-door to ensure Ajax residents aren’t living in homes filled with hazards. A Safe at Home visit takes around 15 minutes and in- volves a firefighter’s check of basements, utility rooms, storage areas, kitchens, sheds and garages for potential fire risks. The department’s goal is to cover every residence in the town over the next 10 years. Ron Morgan, as a youth during his fire-fighting days with the Pickering Fire Service, observed the construction of a fire station near his home in the area of Kingston and Rosebank roads. The fire hall, then run by volunteers, opened in 1952. The 15-year- old boy who watched the station go up joined the 20-man roster the following year, along with two other teens. “We became the gophers,” says Mr. Morgan, 64, who now lives in Aylmer, Que. “Manpower was hard to come by.” He recalls why there were more blazes then. Most of their calls were to house and barn blazes and grass fires he says. “Everybody burned everything in the ditch,” Mr. Morgan says. Buildings also had fire codes of greater lenience back then, which contributed to more blazes. Mr. Morgan moved into the fire prevention sec- tion in 1976 and retired five years ago. When he was hired, the only requirement was a Grade 10 education. Now,many wannabe firefighters under- go “stringent” training through York University that involves physical and medical tests,says Chief MacCarl. Some hopefuls choose to attend com- munity college programs, which combine theory and practical training. It’s an asset, but not manda- tory, in order to be hired by the Whitby depart- ment. The chief predicts in the future fire depart- ments will recruit from college programs. Depending on the department, potential fire- fighters may be required to complete an aptitude test, have training in CPR and First Aid and possess a DZ driver’s licence that per- mits the operation of a truck with air brakes. Dustin Watson is acting on his childhood dreams of becoming a firefighter. The 29-year-old Ajax resi- dent started with the depart- ment in that town on April 15 after leaving his job as an elementary school teacher in Pickering. He taught grades 3 and 4 and physical education at Altona Forest Public School for nearly two years while vol- unteering for the Ajax fire service. At- tending the Ontario Fire College for training was the turning point for him. Despite the increasing responsibilities and shifting focus of the job, men and women remain enthusiastic about the fire and emergency services field. “The competition is pretty stiff,” says Chief MacCarl. “There’s always been a high in- terest in the fire service.” Extinguishing the myth Whitby firefighters Christopher Curry and Patrick Fitzpatrick perform the daily check of medical equipment. Ajax fire department rookies Dan Bonnar,(right ),and Dustin Watson are part of a new breed of firefighters.

The Durham Attack fielded two of the top three midget boys volleyball teams in Ontario this year. The Attack Black won the gold medal at the Ontario Tier I championships in Oakville last weekend, while the Attack Red team earned bronze. The Black entered the tourney seeded third among the 10 teams, while the Red was ranked 10th. The Black went 4-0 in round-robin play. After earning a bye in the first round of the playoffs, they wound up playing Attack Red, winning 25-19, 25-17. In the gold medal game, the Attack Black downed the Ottawa Kangaroos 25-11, 19-25 and 15-8. “We went into this tournament ranked third, so we certainly faced some tough teams that we had to beat,” said Attack Black coach Phil Ovsenek. “Realistically, we were proba- bly the team to beat going in. We’ve won two of the four tournaments so far this year.” The Red went 3-1 in round-robin play, los- ing only to Waterloo. In the playoffs, the Attack Red defeated the Stingrays, from York Region 25-11, 25-13 be- fore losing to Attack Black. In the bronze medal game,Attack Red had a rematch with Waterloo, winning 25-11, 19- 25 and 15-8. The Red came into the tournament on a roll after finishing second at the recent Tier II tournament in Ottawa. That result earned them entry into the Tier 1 Championships. Attack Red coach Graham Hewitt said he was proud of his team’s achievements. Hewitt said the Attack Black team is composed of mainly second-year players, while Red is made up of mostly first-year players. The squads practice together, which Ovsenek said is a vital component to the suc- cess of both teams. “That’s why we really practice together, (because) we run the same system,” he said. “From a club perspective, we’re (looking) at the next levels up. We want them to all have the same basics, same type of team systems. So, they’re ready to move onto the juvenile, junior (divisions) and beyond, hopefully.” Most of the players on the two teams are from Oshawa, Whitby Ajax and Pickering, Hewitt said. Members of Attack Black are Eric Cun- liffe, Chris Ganesh, Chris Graham (captain), Kent Howe, Marc Jackson, Jordan Matthews, Matt Melissis, Jason Moreau, Steve Oram, Evan Rosser (assistant captain) and Chris Wright. Members of Attack Red are Matt Brooks, Kyle Costello, Greg Dionne, Greg Donnahue, Andrew Dyment (assistant co-captain), Jason Fleming, Pat Johnston, Tim Millar, Jake Patte (assistant co-captain), Aaron Racioppa (cap- tain), Jeff Silver, James Russea and Mike Wil- son. Members of the coaching staff are Phil Ovsenek, Josh Ovsenek, Ryan Williamson, Gord Baxter, Graham Hewitt and Joe Wrigley. Members of the Durham Attack Black and Red midget boys’volleyball squads had plenty to smile about after capturing medals at the recent provincial champi- onships. Select desposits basketball win, title at bankers’ expense Women’s championship game a low-scoring affair AJAX —Select Food Products out- lasted the Bank of Montreal to deposit the Ajax Ladies’ Basketball League crown following a low-scoring, defensive-orient- ed final Wednesday night. Neither side was able to find its scoring touch in the final, but Select scored just enough to win 19-9. As well, both sides were missing players, which had the net effect of slowing the pace of the game as the players tired. Colleen Wetering netted six for Select and Lana Letourneau chalked up five for the bankers. The consolation final featured East Side Mario’s cruising to a landslide 69-32 victory over Et Tu Caesar’s. Caesar’s could do little against the strong Mario’s defence. East Side inter- cepted passes to run the fast break and es- tablished a large first-half lead. Despite a valiant effort in the second half when Caesar’s managed to find its scoring touch, East Side cruised to the easy victory. Krystal Green sunk a game-high 20 points for East Side; Carol Stephenson replied with 16 for Caesar’s. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering.
