Canadian delegation back from Russia Public service workers, Province strike tentative deal BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham Ontario Pubic Service Employees Union (OPSEU) members are “ecstatic” after reaching a tentative deal with the Province to end a gruelling seven-week strike. More than 3,000 Durham OPSEU members, including nurs- es, probation and parole officers, jail guards, court clerks, systems officers and clerical workers, could be back to work next week. They walked off the job March 13. “They’re very ecstatic,” said Local 340 president Kathleen De- mareski of her members who work at the Ministry of Finance building in Oshawa. “It’s delightful.” On Thursday, six busloads of OPSEU members from the finance and transportation ministries gath- ered outside Premier Ernie Eves’s Orangeville campaign office. “It was supposed to be a lot more mil- itant. We were going to be in their faces,” she said. Instead, the 340 members cele- brated by having a barbecue. They have been stationed at King and Centre streets in Oshawa, across from the Michael Starr ministry building, for weeks. They attracted a crowd Monday when they danced on the sidewalks to wel- come their president, Leah Cassel- man, to the city. Wages, job security, pensions and benefits were the main issues of contention. Ms. Demareski said the ratification meeting is on the weekend and she is confident the situation will be resolved. The president of Local 331, the union that represents Whitby Men- tal Health Centre, said there might still be a way to go. “We’ve got an agreement in front of us,” said Joan Gates. “Our members have an opportunity to look at it. I haven’t seen anything in writing yet.” Details of the contract won’t be released until ratified.

Durham Regional Police said the victim, also 12, was punched and slapped as he left a local public school at lunch time Tuesday. When the boy returned after lunch, he was confronted again by the student, who this time was brandishing a three-inch knife and threatened to stab the victim, mak- ing jabbing motions with the weapon, police said. The victim reported the incident and the school’s principal recov- ered a knife hidden under a fence, said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Police were called and the 12- year-old alleged assailant was charged with assault, assault with a weapon and carry concealed weapon. He was released with a June court date.

The Independent Electricity Market Operator (IEMO), responsi- ble for operating the Province’s electricity system and new whole- sale marketplace, labelled the mid- night May 1 opening successful, with a first five-minute price of 2.54 cents per kilowatt hour. The IEMO said the average energy price for the first hour of the live market was 2.3 cents per kilowatt hour. Officials at local electricity dis- tributor Veridian Corporation, which is responsible for distributing electricity to over 88,000 customers in a number of communities, includ- ing Pickering, Ajax, Clarington, Port Hope, Uxbridge and Brock, were upbeat about the smooth tran- sition. “We’ve spent a year and a half getting ready for this and so far so good,” said president John Wiersma in an interview Thursday. “The av- erage price yesterday was 2.8 cents and that’s lower than I had expect- ed.” However, Mr. Wiersma said there is a logical explanation for why opening prices were low — it’s a seasonal thing. “If you look at the Ontario Ener- gy Board forecasts for 4.3 cents — that’s over the whole year. Right now we’re in between peak seasons of summer and winter,” he said. “It’s interesting to see that when demand is less the price responds. If we use less electricity the price goes down.” First Source, the retail arm of Veridian, was offering three-year fixed price contracts to local cus- tomers prior to market opening at 5.69 cents per kilowatt hour. George Armstrong, Veridian’s manager of regulatory affairs, said across its customer base only 17 to 18 per cent enrolled with either First Source or another retailer, com- pared to the Ontario average in the mid-20 per cent range. But, even though those who stuck with their local provider and opened themselves up to the market fluctuations paid less yesterday, Mr. Wiersma said fixed-rate customers shouldn’t panic just yet. “Yesterday they saved, but it’s not going to happen like that every day of the year,” he said. Meanwhile, critics of electricity deregulation remain, and have pointed to the rolling blackouts and unstable market resulting after deregulation in California. Many fear Ontario is headed towards that same fate. But, Mr. Armstrong said he doesn’t expect the same situation here in Ontario because the market opened in a different way. “We are much different than California. In Califor- nia they capped retail rates and when wholesale rates went up, end users had no sign they should curtail demand,” he said. “In Ontario the wholesale and re- tail markets opened together.” Mr. Armstrong said that means if larger industrial electricity users see prices rising they can curtail their demand during peak peri- ods and help drive prices down. And, Mr. Armstrong said while the individual homeown- er may not be able to make a difference, if residential users collectively curtail their de- mand, prices will also be affect- ed. “It’s difficult to predict whether prices will go up,” said Mr. Armstrong. “Price transparency is good, competition is good and we believe prices should be lower than they would have been before com- petition.

Fax it News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Tentative deal ‘fiscally responsible’ staffing retention at the psychi- atric hospital because of wage discrepancies with other health- care facilities. Ms. Gates said the contract agreement doesn’t address that completely. If union members and provincial cabinet ratify the agreement, OPSEU members will be back on the job next week. Non-striking employees and managers have worked long hours over the course of the strike. “It’s been a long strike for our employees, our managers and the public,” said David Tsubouchi, chairman of man- agement board of cabinet, in a news release. “But at the end of the day we have a tentative agreement that is both fair to our employees and fiscally responsible to the taxpayers of Ontario.” Ontario residents have been unable to obtain a health card, renew their driver’s licence or register a birth since the strike began. Some highlights, according to the OPSEU Web site, in- clude: • 8.45 per cent salary hike over three years, plus an addi- tional one per cent for employ- ees at the top of the pay grid in every category except correc- tions; • Immediate wage hikes for workers in several job classifi- cations, including medical and chemical laboratory technolo- gists, classroom assistants and school aides in provincial schools and others; • All contract (unclassified) employees will receive an addi- tional four per cent of pay in lieu of benefits. The time re- quired for conversion to perma- nent status will be reduced from 24 months to 18 months on the job. Seniority for contract workers in correctional facili- ties is recognized for purposes of transfer, promotion, and lay- off within individual institu- tions. JOAN GATES ‘We’ve got an agreement in front of us...’ Durham police pick up puppy, pot plants DURHAM ––Police scooped a stolen puppy with a $2,200 price tag and 19 pot plants during a search of a Park Road North bungalow Wednesday. Durham Regional Police said the English Bulldog pup was stolen from Mauch’s pet store on King Street West prior to opening April 20. Acting on a tip, investigating officers Wednesday obtained a warrant to search the Park Road residence where they lo- cated the missing pooch along with a small hydroponics marijuana operation on the main floor. Two men were arrested in connec- tion with the incident. Christopher Robert Doucet, 27, and Stacy Leigh Somers, 32, both of Park Road, are charged with possession of property obtained by crime and posses- sion and production of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. Mr. Doucet also faces a charge of break, enter and theft.

Corner of Station Street and Commercial Ave. Despite Dr. Kildare being my first television heartthrob, I have never had a great fondness for either doctors or hospitals. Nothing personal, it’s just I have a general distaste for ‘invasive procedures’ and an aversion to that hospital smell. It’s the one that lingers in your pores long after leaving these places. It’s the odour of procedures. So, for some time, I dodged these institutions by rubbing tiger balm on my forehead and sipping honeyed ginger tea. But alas, one day, the law of aver- ages caught up with our family. It’s the universal law that dictates should you wear white to dinner, red wine will be spilled upon you. It’s the same law that says if you have a fear or great distaste of small furry animals, one is bound to find his way wagging his tail in your face. It is the law that eventually brought me to be a keen observer of what a well-oiled piece of machinery the medical system is. Un- fortunately, most of the oil is greasing the wrong part of the machinery. More than half of all Canadians contribute to some health organiza- tion, yet, on any given day, you can find a patient, awaiting a much-too- early discharge, somberly watching as his just-vacated bed is sanitized and made ready for the fellow who is wait- ing on the other side for this vacancy. The daily act of balancing re- sources and staff defies that of any cir- cus juggling performance. Seldom do the overhead name tags match the res- ident in the bed below them, so quick is the turnover. Unless Lady Luck keeps you in one spot long enough, meals are fre- quently of the ‘guess what’s coming for dinner’variety. But, despite the reigning chaos, the eye-blearing hours, the emotional drain of allaying the fears of fright- ened patients and their families, the shortages, and the cutbacks, there is a golden thread that binds it all together. Strongly woven into the tapestry of each hospital, are the fibres of each in- dividual who contributes in any way, the devoted caregivers who dole out laughter, promises, and bed pans. There are scores of people showing compassion in the midst of human suffering, though conditions aren’t optimum. Though I would never care to make the hospital my home,I was cer- tainly made to feel at home by the car- ing staff in the hospital. I also had ample time to see where the money isn’t going. Staff make over-burdened hospitals work Yet recent hospital experience also leaves questions as to where health funding is going Leo was a pioneer in the community To the editor: Re: ‘Police mourn death of K-9 consta- ble,’News Advertiser, April 24. It is with sadness that we keep reading about the passing of Leo, the Durham Re- gional Police Service’s first canine mem- ber. He had a very distinguished career and a very effective tour of duty. He as- sisted his partner in many occurrences and, without Leo, there is little doubt many of these cases may not have been closed or at least closed as quickly. What is also sad, is that all through this reporting of Leo’s passing, is the absence of how Leo came to be the first Durham canine member. It was through the dedi- cation, fund-raising and expense of the Oshawa Central Lions Club (hence Leo). The club spent in excess of $5,000 pur- chasing and training Leo. These very able and exceptional dogs are also a very ex- pensive endeavour. The pilot project the Lions club undertook showed the value of Leo to the police service and since then, Durham police have expanded the canine unit to serve and protect us. We owe many thanks to Leo for his service, but, we also owe many thanks to the Oshawa Central Lions Club, which, without its selfless work, would not have allowed Leo the opportunity to be a part of our community.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 3, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Sometimes, reports, letters, teleconferences and videos are sim- ply not enough to sell the international community on a brilliant idea. Sometimes, you simply have to get on an airplane, and travel halfway around the world to high-level negotiations. That was the plan for a team of five high-profile Durham Region officials who decided they had to go to Moscow April 18 to 24 for the third round of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) site and technical negotiations. Led by Durham Chairman Roger Anderson, the group also in- cluded Clarington Mayor John Mutton, and Iter Community Coun- cil chairman Gary Polonsky, who also plays a strong role as presi- dent of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)/Durham College. Also along to provide support were Durham Region commissioner of economic development Pat Olive and Clarington planning director David Crome. The quintet had ample opportunity to network with representatives from the Euro- pean Union, Japan and the Russian Federation, the key partners who will make the final decision on where ITER will be located. Clarington’s strong bid for ITER, which has received provincial and federal government support, was first out of the gate, presented to the international community in June 2001. To date, it is the only bid, though Spain, France and Japan are expected to make official bids before the final site location is made near the end of 2002. The Durham contingent was front-and-centre at a reception for ITER delegates held at the Canadian Embassy in Moscow. Mr. Polonsky made the case for UOIT as a future source of knowledge and research for the world community. Mr. Anderson talked up the progressive growth of Durham Region and all the benefits it offers for business and professionals and Mayor Mutton discussed Clar- ington’s ability to host a world-class science facility. “My sense is the majority of the partners want to see something happen now. The future for the ITER project is now,” said the mayor. For Mr. Anderson, the Moscow trip was an eye-opener and pro- vided the chairman with a first-hand opportunity to see ITER Cana- da chairman Dr. Peter Barnard, director Dr. Murray Stewart and federal government lead negotiator Jim Campbell in action. “I was very surprised at how strong Canada is at the table and how respected they are at the table, especially in debate about po- tential partners,” said Mr. Anderson. Take it from a man who knows what it’s like to beat the odds. Mr. Polonsky was the ultimate underdog when his dream of estab- lishing a university at Durham College came true last year. “I think our chances are strong enough to pull out all the stops, do our very best and take our chances. If one does not jump into the water, one does not get an Olympics or a university or an ITER.” A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 World knows ‘We want ITER’ Five-man delegation’s travels to Russia show our desire for project Marcey Collins Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com NP0510102 Copyright 2002.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 3,2002 PAGE 7 A/P P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM –– Stocks, bonds, GICs and mutual funds. The words are prominent in your bank window, in newspapers, on TV and radio. Your neighbour has gone on for weeks about the money he’s making on the market. Sometimes it seems every adult in the world but you has invested in a stock or bond market somewhere. But what does it all mean? You may feel the time has come to take a few dollars from under the mattress or break your piggy bank to put into a so- called ‘can’t miss,’ blue-chip investment. But what plans are riskiest with a higher prospect of losses versus gains, what en- sure a small return over time but require patience, and what, in the end, is right for you? Most importantly, where do you start? In general, there are three types of invest- ments: stocks, bonds, and cash. “There are different investment vehicles out there. The most important factor is your time horizon, as well as your level of risk-tol- erance,” said Angela Yandt, a licensed admin- istrator for the Oshawa-based Investment Planning Council. She said before considering any type of in- vestment, you need to examine what your goals are. If you’re planning for your retirement and it is still decades away, long-term investments in the form of mutual funds (which usually combine stocks and bonds) are the most sen- sible way to go. If you want a safe, secure, medium-term investment with an established, fixed rate of return, a Guaranteed Income Certificate (GIC), can be purchased for as little as $500. GICs can be bought from investment houses or banks and usually mature at intervals rang- ing from one to five years. Other safe invest- ments include various savings bonds which offer low levels of interest as do bank chequing and savings accounts. If you have disposable income and are looking for a quicker, in-out investment choice, the stock market offers a vast array of possibilities. But the risks on the stock market are much higher than in mutual funds, GICs, bonds or bank accounts. And the risks have increased with the introduction over the past decade of online trading over the Internet. More amateur online investors are now doing it themselves and trading in stocks. What many don’t know is do-it-yourself on- line trading can be the easiest way to lose money. But, Greg York, an investment planner with CIBC Wood Gundy in Oshawa, said the stock market also has the biggest payoff po- tential because it is the biggest gamble. “Anyone can be a part of the stock market, but know what you’re doing before you start,” said Mr. York. “Be careful, there are a lot of scams out there. Be cautious and spend as much time understanding the stock market as you would buying a car. I think some people get into it too fast and the experience is not very good.” Local investors can play in three different markets: Canada, US, or NASDAQ. NAS- DAQ deals with high-tech names, such as Microsoft but is the market doing most poor- ly recently since the world found out it could live without all that excess technology, said Mr. York. A couple of years ago, Mr. York said stock markets were booming thanks to online in- vesting, but that hot streak didn’t last long. Online players had little knowledge and not enough time to spend investing in stocks. “Things got overvalued, people were bid- ding just to get the value up. You can only blow a bubble up so much before it bursts,” said Mr. York. When the stock train finally did derail and big investors began a mas- sive sell-off, some smaller investors got caught in a dismal squeeze and lost all their savings. “That’s why people pay us three times as much as they do online service providers - be- cause we give advice on how to make more money or lose less money,” added Mr. York. Brokers are usually paid a commission or percentage based on how much stock you buy. Online trading averages $20-$30 per trade. CIBC Wood Gundy charges $100 per trade through a broker. Besides the price of making a trade, the amounts invested differ vastly as well. An in- vestor must commit a minimum of $50,000 in an investment account to earn the stock brokerage services of CIBC Wood Gundy. Those playing solo online have no minimum amount required to invest. “The everyday person doesn’t have time to check all day and doesn’t have the profes- sional experience to buy stocks,” said Ms. Yandt. “There’s going to be more risk invest- ing without professional help. You can buy will kits and it’s legal, but you’re going to miss things a lawyer wouldn’t. “Unless you have professional education in the field and know how to analyse the com- pany as far as pur- chasing stock online, you can do it with a small amount of money - but not with your retirement savings,” she added. Stocks and bonds are not the same. While a stock represents a partial share in the value of a company, a bond is buying debt. In theo- ry, investors try to buy stocks when values are low and sell when they’re high; bond buyers purchase when interest rates are high and sell when they’re low. Bonds are issued by companies or govern- ment bodies and include a coupon and matu- rity date. If a coupon is for six per cent inter- est, the holder will receive six per cent on his money despite what happens to interest rates in the economy at large. Interest income is typically paid semi-annually. The maturity date indicates when the holder will be repaid in full and for how much. If a bond is pur- chased at a discounted price of $98 and has a par (value) of $100, the $98 will be replaced with $100 when the maturity date is reached. When you buy bonds from a firm, the commission value is already added into the purchase price. Maturity rates can vary in length. Some bonds may be paid back in a year; others as far as 30 years into the future. The longer the amount of time the bond is held, the higher the interest rate offered to the bearer. Rob Boycott, investment representative with the Edward Jones office in Cobourg, said bonds are not a risky investment to make because buyers are almost always guaranteed to get their money back and collect interest at the same time. “Bonds are like a fixed income invest- ment and they’re issued from various sources like provinces or the federal gov- ernment,” said Mr. Boycott. “Many bond investors are buying because they want that fixed income. A common group (of bond buyers) are retired and using the in- come (from interest) to supplement their pension. “The vast majority of people are not buy- ing bonds to trade; they’re buying them to get the income value that provides a cash flow,” Mr. Boycott added. “Bonds can be sold back into the market, but the price fluctuates on what the interest rates are. If interest rates increase, bonds go down,” he explained. For example, if the coupon attached to a savings bond is for six per cent, while regular rates are at three per cent, someone could sell a savings bond, which cost $98 and has a par of $100, for $102. “If you’re buying good quality bonds with quality ratings, than there’s a much lower risk than stocks. You have a fixed maturity rate and know how much you’ll get; that makes it more predictable and less risky than the stock market,” said Mr. Boycott. At Mr. Boycott’s firm, a minimum of $5,000 par value of bonds must be bought. A customer might only pay $4,800 for bonds to reach the minimum if bonds were purchased at a discounted price. Money is typically only lost if the issuer of the bond goes bankrupt. Cash is the investment with the least amount of risk - and the least potential to make money. Cash investments are savings plans, which vary in length, such as GICs. Money is deposited into an account. The bank uses the money to lend to customers and the depositor collects interest, which fluctu- ates based on the performance of the econo- my. With GICs, money is locked in from a typ- ical savings account. Steve Scatterty, a financial adviser for Cartier Partners Financial Group of Bowmanville, said GICs are the type of investment for someone who primarily wants to save and have his money protected. With low interest rates, there isn’t much potential for making money, but GICs do guarantee a return on your principal. “It’s basically a contract with a financial institution where the client agrees to lend money to the bank and it agrees to pay them,” explained Mr. Scatterty. When it comes to GICs, his job is to find customers the best in- terest rate. Whereas an individual may only get 2.7 per cent interest on a savings account, he may be able to get 3.7 per cent on a GIC. Generally, GIC buyers tend to be 55 and older. They’re investors who aren’t interested in playing in a volatile market, but still want a better-than-bank account interest rate of re- turn, said Mr. Scatterty. “The most important question to ask your- self is what do I want this money to do for me?” advised Mr. Scatterty. “The goal is the most important thing: if I don’t have to risk money to complete my goal, why should I? “The main disadvantage to GICs is they’re locked in and when you lock money in for a couple of years, if interest rates increase, you have no option to switch to a higher rate,” he said. Bank investments and savings are protect- ed by the federal government, to a certain Managing the marketManaging the market Steve Scatterty, branch manager and financial advisor for Cartier Financial Ser- vices says people should read the fine print when purchasing GICs. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo See MUTUAL page 9 point. Most GICs are covered by the Canadian Depositors Insurance Corporation for up to $60,000 per account, per bank. “Where people get into trouble is where they have $60,000 in a three-year GIC and another $60,000 in a five-year term. It leaves the second $60,000 uninsured,” said Mr. Scatterty. If the bank were to go bankrupt, which he said is very unlikely in Canada; the depositor would lose anything over $60,000. Mr. Scatterty said GIC holders should read the fine print on their contract and make sure they tell their bank not to automatically lock money in again. He said, un- less otherwise told, banks can legally lock it in without telling the customer before- hand. GIC depositors also pay tax on interest annually, even though they may not see the interest until the GIC is un- locked years later. While GICs, savings ac- counts, bonds, and stocks are familiar investing vehicles, an investment option which has gained a lot of attention over the past decade is the mutual fund. Mutual funds often blend a variety of stocks and bonds to provide diversity and reduce risk for investors and are usually held for the long haul. “Mutual funds are a pool of investments basically that several investors put money into. That pool is managed by a team so the risk is not the same as stocks,” said Ms. Yandt. “Mutual funds are di- versified by different sec- tors.” If an investor has $10,000, instead of using the money to buy one or two stocks, he can put it into the mutual fund with hundreds of other peo- ple. This allows the people to split on stocks, for example, 30 units of different stocks, bonds, or cash investments instead of just one or two. With so many types of invest- ments, if one drops to noth- ing, an investor isn’t out of the game or out of cash. Florence Koo, direct man- ager with the Bank of Mon- treal, said mutual funds are recommended to those inter- ested in investing for over five years and willing to take some level of risk. She said mutuals might be more of in- terest to a younger person, in- stead of someone closer to re- tirement. There are many benefits, especially with taxes. Ms. Koo said people don’t pay taxes on the funds and even if someone takes out a loan to buy mutual funds, the interest they are paying on the loan might be tax deductible. However, once you cash in your mutual fund, you will be taxed at a variable rate de- pending on how much you take out. “Mutual funds can be re- deemed at any time. They are very liquid, but funds could be very low at the time peo- ple need money and they could get deuced,” said Ms. Koo. “You don’t want to use it as an emergency fund; you don’t want to pull money out when it’s doing poorly.” She recommends if some- one has $5,000 for example, put half into a GIC, and the other half into mutual funds. If you have extra money to risk, she said a mutual fund plan is great, but if there is just enough, a GIC is safer. “A couple of years ago, we saw people make money, but a year ago, especially after the Sept. 11 terrorist at- tack, it’s not doing so well,” said Ms. Koo. “Right now we’re telling people to hold onto (their mutual funds) if they can afford it.” The World Trade Center disaster put a damper on in- vesting, but Mr. Scatterty said the best time to buy stocks or mutuals is when everyone else is in a panic. “The best bargains are found when everyone’s scared to buy,” he said. “I was advising my clients to hold on tight and you won’t lose and now the Toronto market is up.” All investments have some risk, no matter how minimal. But, anyone think- ing about investing is encour- aged to get professional ad- vice. Mr. Boycott said most financial institutions will teach, free of charge, poten- tial investors about opportu- nities. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 PAGE 9 P Exeter students hear they have the power to choose BY SARAH TEPER Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —The message to Exeter High School stu- dents this week could be heard loud and clear: “The choices you make today af- fect who you become to- morrow.” The messenger was Mano Watsa, who, along with the other ‘Power to Choose Sports Stars’(Sarah Havard, Mark Passley, Dave Munkley and Rob Duffey), entertained stu- dents at the Ajax school April 29 with a motivation- al and inspiring presenta- tion mixed with athletic tal- ent. In between messages of “set dreams for yourself,” and “seize the opportunities you’ve been given in life” and “you can choose to make a difference in your life,” the stars challenged the Exeter students to com- petitions of dodge ball, tug of war and basketball, while the crowd applauded and cheered its approval. Justin Hutchins, who played basketball against the stars, said the presenta- tion was pretty good and fun. “I like to play with better people, so I can play better. It’s a learning experience,” said the 18-year-old. Laura Hines, 15, and Mindy Wingate, 16, agreed the presentation was cool and noted it was good to see a woman playing on the stars team and not just men. “They said stuff from a real-life perspective which makes it easy to relate to,” Mindy noted. The Power to Choose Assembly Program was founded and directed by Mr. Watsa, a former Uni- versity of Waterloo basket- ball player. He leads former university and professional athletes all over Canada, encouraging students to succeed in life by setting goals, persevering, maxi- mizing their opportunities and gifts, and believing in themselves. The 26-year-old created the group because he was looking for way to combine his basketball talent with inspirational messages for students. “We like to think that if we make a difference in one student’s life then we’re doing a good job,” he said, adding the assembly is ef- fective and they receive a lot of feedback. While this was the first time the program has been to Ajax, Mr. Watsa said he’d like to return in the future and visit other schools. For more information on the program, visit www.powertochoose.ca.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 PAGE 11 A/P In Durham we have become accustomed to hearing the Iter Canada team and our municipal politicians singing the praises of the proposed fusion research facility. Across the world, in a Moscow hotel conference room, the work of thousands of research scientists in laboratories over the last half-century is represented by the 60-plus del- egates from the Russian Federation, Japan and the Euro- pean Union in third-round negotiations.The talk is not of jobs or economic spin-offs. It is about the need for a new, sustainable, clean energy that can meet the demands of emerging countries and industrial powers at a time when natural resources are dwindling and greenhouse gases are ruining the environment.They all want ITER, not to prop up their local economy, but to fuel their countries. ITER around the world Fusion scientists say its time has come AT RUSSIA’S Kurchatov Centre of nuclear studies, fu- sion research for en- ergy has been stud- ied since the early 1950s. The Japan Atomic Energy Re- search Institute (JAERI) has been working toward a nuclear fusion demonstration plant since 1961. Across Europe, both collec- tively and independently, mem- bers of the European Union have operated both small- and large- scale fusion experiments to the same end for several decades. In the United States, at Prince- ton, MIT and General Atomics, three major fusion research oper- ations continue today. In the mid-1980s, these four major powers in fusion research decided it was time to combine their resources and create a final- step fusion energy research and development project where they could combine the knowledge each had gained independently for the betterment of mankind and a cleaner, sustainable energy source. They called the project ITER, the International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reactor, the last step before a commercial demonstration plant. Canada has a fusion research history including projects in the 1980s that helped pave the way for the Joint European Torus (JET) project in Oxfordshire England. Canada’s proposed ITER site is in Durham Region, next to the Darlington Generating Station in Clarington. “These negotiations have been ongoing for 14 years,” relates Dr. Robert Aymar, the chairman of the Iter International board of di- rectors. Over the past 40 years, scientists have worked on the physics of fusion research, he says, and now it is time to fast- track this knowledge so it can be used to meet the energy needs of future generations. “Fusion energy will become very necessary by the middle of this century,” says Academician Evgeny Velikhov, president of the Kurchatov Centre in Moscow and the man considered to be the brainchild behind the ITER col- laboration. The academician esti- mates by 2030 fossil fuel re- sources will be exhausted. This coincides with an increasing need for more energy as more parts of the world become indus- trialized and First World nations continue to expand. While wind and solar energy sources will in- Durham Region welcomes the world Canadian reception a Moscow hit IN THE STATELY setting of Canadian ambas- sador Rod Irwin’s home, ad- joining the country’s em- bassy in Moscow, Durham told international fusion research delegates and high-ranking politi- cians, ‘We Want ITER.’ Durham, in conjunction with the Canadian embassy, hosted a recep- tion for more than 60 representa- tives from the European Union, Japan, Canada and Russia who were in the capital city for negotia- tions on the proposed ITER fusion research and development centre. The guests included deputy minis- ters, academicians, scientists and political representatives from the Russian Federation, the European Union, Japan and Canada. While most of the evening was devoted to social discussions, the Canadian delegation did take the opportunity to invite the delegates to consider Canada an ideal location for ITER. “If Clarington and Durham Re- gion are chosen (for) ITER then I think you will reflect on that deci- sion in a very, very positive way,” Iter Community Council Chairman Gary Polonsky told the internation- al delegates. “Just to re-emphasize what you’ve heard, we want ITER,” he said, following up on earlier comments by Durham Chairman Roger Anderson. In his remarks, Chairman Anderson intro- duced ‘We Want ITER,’ a publica- tion produced by Metroland Pub- lishing’s Durham division, to the delegates and told them each per- son would receive a copy before leaving the reception. Mr. Polonsky, whose father was born in Russia, spoke of an emo- tional journey he made to his fa- ther’s village while on the ITER trip. He recalled his family’s her- itage and his father’s life as an im- migrant in Canada where he cher- ished memories of his homeland. “In a way this is part of our Canadian story,” Mr. Polonsky said. “We are a new country, a country of immigrants that wel- comes the world. Our friends from France will know we are a fran- cophone country as well as an an- glophone country,” he said, stress- ing Canada’s diverse multicultural heritage. “In the Greater Toronto Area, every single human being is part of a minority and we all get along, we respect each other and we embrace each other’s cultures,” he said.

I think now we have reached that point where we see the top, we know how to get there and it is time to make the last effort in order to reach the top.” Dr. Umberto Finzi, European Commission, acting head of delegation A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 crease in importance, there are many parts of the world, including the Russ- ian Federation, where these nature-de- pendent technologies will not be effi- cient enough to meet large demand en- ergy needs, he says. Nuclear fission energy, dependent on uranium, could also become prob- lematic as uranium sources are deplet- ed later this century, he suggests. At the Kurchatov Centre work is being done to study a ‘fast-breeder’ fission genera- tor, a more advanced fission nuclear technology, which uses less uranium. Still, he says, another large-scale ener- gy source will be needed. The Russian Federation believes there is a need to fast-track the fusion program to ensure power availability through fusion by 2050, not only for traditional electricity uses but to provide power for the de- salination of water. This will be neces- sary to ensure the viability of the re- source throughout the world later in this century. An essential element of the fast-track program depends on the success of ITER proceeding, Dr. Ve- likhov says. For Japan, an island country with a population of more than 126 million, and one of the strongest world economies but no natural resources, en- ergy research is a priority, says Shigeru Aoe, of the Ministry of Education, Cul- ture, Sports, Science and Technology. “We are very concerned with the supply of energy for the future of the Japanese people. It is very important for us to think of the requirements of energy in the future and the supply of that energy. ITER, of course, without question, comes up as the most impor- tant issue naturally for us,” he says. In the late 1990s, the United States withdrew from the ITER project after negotiations on implementation of the project stalled. But international re- searchers and engineers continued to create designs and extensively test the parameters of the project including cal- culations related to the safe operation of the research facility. There is hope that within weeks or possibly, even days, the United States may announce its re-entry into the partnership. But regardless, the other partners, convinced of the need to find a new, sustainable energy source, continue to proceed toward a site selec- tion for the $12-billion project by the end of this year. ready and waiting for the scientists and their families who come to work on the project. The mayor related his visit to the Joint European Torus (JET) site in Ox- fordshire, England, and the lessons that have been learned by England’s experi- ence hosting a major research centre. The Canadian site for ITER will offer close proximity to a brand new university, with a strong technology bent. At the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology, scientists, and their spouses, could be pro- fessors and conduct joint research with the university, Mr. Polonsky noted. The Durham delegation’s presence in Moscow was praised by Dr. Vladimir Vinogradov, the first deputy minister of the Russian energy department, Mi- natom. “I think all the (international) del- egates will take into account and learn from the Canadian experience and be as enthusiastic as the Canadians are about their site,” he said during his speech to the delegates. The presence of Clarington and Durham in Moscow, expected to be the final neutral negotiation site before a de- cision is made on the location for ITER, was extremely beneficial, suggests Dr. Murray Stewart, director of Iter Canada. “We raised the bar on the kind of community, political and public support for the project,” he says. “It was very vis- ible, very proactive and very honest. You could see everyone was very committed to the project and understands the pro- ject. It wasn’t just a sales job. You could see that. I think it was a very, very good addition to our delegation in Moscow.” University, ITER bound for a relationship Japan wrestles with concerns for future supply of energy Ed Chow of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Iter Community Council Chairman Gary Polonsky take part in a briefing of the Canadian delegation at the President’s Hotel in Moscow for the N3 (third meeting of negotiations) of the ITER fusion research facility.

UNIVERSITY from page 11 JAPAN from page 11 Covering the ITER negotiations in Moscow IF ALL GOES AS anticipated, Durham will know by the end of this year if it will be the host site for the ITER fusion energy research and development centre. While there are some things Canada cannot offer, including sunny climes and close proximity to many of the par- ticipating countries, proponents say it still has the best shot of all possible bids. “I give our bid a 75-per cent chance,” estimates Clarington Mayor John Mut- ton, a member of the Iter Canada board. His enthusiasm is backed by the strong technical advantages of the site that make it a very economical choice for the partners. Jim Campbell, head of the Canadian delegation and director of financial and fiscal analysis, energy policy branch for Natural Resources Canada, says there are inherent qualities in the Canadian bid that put it in good stead to compete head-to-head with any site in the world. “The Canadian bid is very unique, unlike any other bid because of its na- ture with the partnership between the public and private sector. The validity of the bid rests on the technical excellence of the Clarington site; the tritium’s al- ready in place, we have a deep-water pier already in place, the 401 runs right past the site and so does the railway. It’s not far from an airport. “Then you have ocean transport right up to the site and the biggest cement factory in North America (next door). You could probably just run a conveyor belt for all the cement you need and there’s two steel mills just across the lake. Take the steel out of the mill, put it on a barge, push it across the lake and bingo, it’s at the construction site. When you add all these things up, all these natural advantages, it constitutes a very large technical advantage of the Canadi- an site over the competing sites,” says Mr. Campbell. As the only site with a supply of tri- tium, required as fuel for the project, Canada has a distinct advantage, says Dr. Murray Stewart, director of Iter Canada. Shipment of tritium to another site in the quantities required for ITER would be problematic because tritium is a weapon’s material and terrorism is- sues would be of concern. Currently tri- tium is shipped to a fusion research fa- cility in Oxfordshire, England but in far smaller amounts, says Dr. Stewart. Dr. Robert Aymar, chairman of the Iter International board, agrees the Clar- ington bid has some definite benefits as a host site. “The Canadian site has a lot of tech- nical advantages and strategic advan- tages. To be close to a big city like Toronto, to be directly on a site already prepared with all the facilities, a water supply, an electricity supply, highways, railways. It has very good technical input. Still, I know people could prefer something else. I don’t know if an opti- mum site exists but what I know is the Canadian site has a lot of good points.” Some delegates and observers of the ITER process - internationally and here at home - question why the federal gov- ernment has not contributed to the pro- ject financially. Any host community se- lected will be expected to put up 20 per cent of the financing for the $12-billion project. The Ontario government has committed to $10 million a year over the 30-year lifespan of the construction and operation of the project. But Mr. Campbell says the federal government believes Canada’s bid is strong enough without a further infusion of tax dollars. The site’s superiority is “an advan- tage in the billions of dollars,” for the international partners investing in the project, says Mr. Campbell. “We believe, in the federal govern- ment, these advantages are so large and so compelling there’s no requirement for the federal government to further top-up the attractiveness of the Canadi- an bid with federal subsidies. We be- lieve the bid really stands on its own merit.” While Dr. Stewart believes the feder- al government’s math adds up, he ad- mits the economic argument, without the obvious up-front hard cash contribu- tion of the federal government, is hard for some of the international delegates to grasp. Some delegates, he says, ques- tion whether Canada is contributing enough. “We obviously argue the point,” he relates. “When the delegates are looking at cost-sharing they tend not to count the value of the site. “We count the value of the site. It is requiring a lot of education on how pri- vate and public partnership works,” he adds, noting the concept is not as famil- iar to the other delegates as to North Americans. However, he says, once formal site comparisons begin and the cost details are examined, the economies of the Canadian site will become evident. Mr. Campbell agrees. “The natural advantages of the Canadian site are large enough that if we play it right we should have a good chance at attracting this project to Clarington.” At the ITER negotiations... “I think our chances are strong enough to pull out all the stops, do our very best and take our chances. If one does not jump into the water, one does not get an Olympics or a university or an ITER.” Gary Polonsky,President, Durham College and Ontario Institute of Technology NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P Canada’s proposal Clarington locale makes good economic sense Covering the ITER negotiations in Moscow Clarington Mayor John Mutton told delegates attending a reception at the Canadian ambassador’s home the municipality is ready to provide the nec- essary infrastructure, housing and education facilities if ITER is sited in Clarington.

At the ITER negotiations... “Many people might have expected a dramatic process during this N3 (third nego- tiation round) consultation. However, we may not have seen a very dramatic progress but I believe we have seen a very good progress. The ITER project is a very long un- dertaking. It takes tremendous expenditure of efforts of everyone involved. It is the respon- sibility of all of us. Everybody needs to be a cog of a big wheel and we need to make that wheel move forward together, steadily and surely.” Mr. Shigeru Aoe, head of delegation, Japan’s ministry of education, culture, sports, science and technology AS THE THIRD round ofnegotiations of the international ITER dele- gates wound up in Moscow last week, the one thing everyone seemed to agree upon is timing is everything. With a site-plan negotiation mandate that expires at the end of the year, all the international delegates are eager to push toward a final decision on where the ITER (International Thermonuclear Ex- perimental Reactor) research and devel- opment facility will be located. “We had thought as of today all dele- gations would have brought forward their proposals concerning the site. Un- fortunately we didn’t hear the propos- als,” related Dr. Vladimir Vinogradov, Russia’s deputy minister of energy, dur- ing speeches to the international dele- gates at a Canadian reception hosted by Durham Region, Clarington and the Canadian embassy. “We have requested several times during negotiations to speed up the process of proposals,” the Russian lead negotiator said, later in an interview. These comments echoed re- marks by Dr. Vinogradov earlier in the day during the official negotiations held at the President’s Hotel in downtown Moscow, according to Jim Campbell, Canada’s lead negotiator. The Canadians too have been eager to see more progress in site selection and expressed this during the talks, Mr. Campbell said. Originally a site selec- tion was expected to be made by June. Now, hopeful estimates put the decision at sometime this fall. “Deputy Minister Vinogradov spoke first and he mentioned a lot of the same concerns the Canadian delegation had. We met here a year ago, June 6, and agreed on a set of timetables and mile- stones... here we are almost a year after that and there is considerable evidence we might not meet these timetables. Russia is concerned with this and so are we,” Mr. Campbell said. The main stumbling block in negotia- tions to date has been reticence on the part of France and Japan to forward the bids both countries have been expected to submit. Neither country has indicated a change of heart about proposing a site, yet for different reasons neither has moved forward to bring a bid to the table. In fact, aside from Canada, which officially presented its bid last June, only Spain, a country not even considered in the running until recently, has made strong motions toward that end. Canada still remains the only country with a for- mal bid on the table. The Japanese government has not yet concluded for certain it wants to host the ITER facility, explained Shigeru Aoe, head delegate from Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. For Japan, the prospect of hosting the project is far more expensive than for Canada due to a reliance on imported electricity and other technical aspects not as easily satisfied as in Clarington, Canada’s proposed site. Still, fusion re- search is very important to the Japanese because of their reliance on other coun- tries for energy. Since 1961 the Japan- ese Atomic Energy Research Institute has invested in fusion research including operation of two tokamaks. The prospect of hosting ITER, expected to be the last leg of research before a com- mercial demonstration plant is built, is very appealing to the Japanese fusion science community, says Mr. Aoe. “We are working very hard for the Japanese government for a successful conclusion to be reached in a short peri- od of time. The probability of coming to the realization or reality of Japan offer- ing the hosting site is very high,” he said. “That is our understanding and also our expectation.” The Japanese delegation is optimistic a deal can be reached, as expected, by the end of 2002, Mr. Aoe said. “I fully expect that everything that has been laid down in the timeline to occur by the end of this year will hap- pen.” To date, he said, there has been very good progress in the negotiations despite the fact not everything has been completed according to the international committee’s original intention. “However, we recognize the fact we really need to work much harder to make up in some of the areas where we are still lagging behind based on the plans that we have laid out,” Mr. Aoe said. For France, currently embroiled in a heated national election, getting the bid on the table may not be possible before September, suggested Mr. Campbell. “There really are intractable problems and we have to respect the EU position on that,” he related. “They’re locked in.” However, Mr. Campbell said, the inter- national committee has agreed to add supplementary meetings to its agenda to resolve other issues to ensure when the France bid does arrive, a speedy deci- sion-making process can ensue unen- cumbered. “We’ll deal with as much as possible so there won’t be any delays,” he relates. “To achieve consensus on this was a big accomplishment.” A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 Covering the ITER negotiations in Moscow The clock is ticking Delegates agree that time is everything The Kurchatov Institute holds decades of secrets IN THE NORTH END OF Moscow,surrounded by middle- class apartments and estate-lined streets, sits a large compound with hundreds of buildings in various states of disrepair, quietly holding the secrets of almost 60 years of nuclear research. The Russian Research Centre, Kurcha- tov Institute, was founded in 1943. Stalin was in power and the Second World War was raging. The Soviet Union’s focus was not on energy creation but on the urgent need to defend a country under siege by Adolph Hitler. Work on the atom bomb was carried out at the centre by a small group of the country’s top scientists, led by academi- cian Igor Kurchatov. The group lived and worked side-by-side on the grounds near the laboratory in secrecy. Later that decade, the centre turned its focus to nuclear fission and fusion research. In 1946, the first chain reaction in a nuclear reactor in Europe or Asia was observed at the institute, says Dr. Lev Golubchikov, a retired director at the institute who toured the Durham delegation through the research centre’s seven institutes of nuclear study during its visit April 19. In the early 1950s, the Institute of Nu- clear Fusion (INF) at the centre was set up as a plasma physics department to study fu- sion, the source of energy that powers the sun and the stars. Under the direction of academician L.A. Artsimovich, INF scien- tists studied thermonuclear fusion. Here in 1954 the tokamak system for plasma con- tainment that would be the basis of future study around the world was created. The tokamak is the containment device that will be used for the ITER project when it is built. While the institute’s scientists still make valuable contributions to nuclear research, the fortunes of the institute have declined in recent years with the faltering of the Russ- ian economy. Ironically, today the Russian cold war enemy, the United States, con- tributes to the centre, providing security around its perimeter to ensure the secrets of nuclear weaponry are kept safe within the compound, says Dr. Golubchikov. Despite the financial constraints, Dr. Valentin Smirnov, director of the fusion in- stitute today, says the Russian Federation scientists still have much to contribute to fu- sion research. The institute currently oper- ates the T-10 tokamak studying plasma physics and controlled thermonuclear fu- sion. The institute has also constructed a four-storey tokamak that would run on a smaller scale replicating the principles of the ITER concept. Unfortunately, due to the current economic conditions in the Russian Federation and a lack of funding availabili- ty for research, the T-15 sits idle, says Dr. Smirnov. Due to these constraints, most of the in- stitute’s financial resources are focused on supporting the implementation of ITER through joint research for the design and fu- ture operation in conjunction with other countries. ITER represents the hopes of the future for providing fusion energy when it will be needed globally, in the middle of this centu- ry, says Evgeny Velikhov, president of the Kurchatov Institute. A group of Russian fu- sion specialists work in Germany and Japan on joint studies for ITER. Gary Polonsky, president of the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology,to be built in Oshawa, says he would like to find a way to bring some of the institute’s scien- tists to the university for research here. “We have had talks at the highest level with some of the most senior scientists in the world about our university’s school of nuclear science and engineering. We are going to continue the discussions about sev- eral of the top-ranking professors coming over here for a few years to help get that school started,” he says. Today, the INF continues to co-operate with many world-leading research centres under intergovernmental agreements with the United States, Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain as well as under direct agreements with other research centres in Japan, China and Korea. Russian nuclear history in Moscow The T-15 tokamak, a smaller-scale version of the ITER model, sits idle at the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow due to economic conditions in the country. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 PAGE 15 A/P Covering the ITER negotiations in Moscow Thoughts from the front Durham delegates come home with reflections AS THE AEROFLOT Boeing 767 flew over Greenland from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport to- ward Pearson International, a delegation of Durham representatives had time to reflect on its chances to host a $12-billion fusion research and devel- opment centre in Clarington. The delegation included Durham Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson, Clar- ington Mayor John Mutton, Ontario In- stitute of Technology and Durham Col- lege President Gary Polonsky, Claring- ton Planning Director David Crome and Durham Economic Development Com- missioner Pat Olive. The five were returning from Moscow where they attended the third round of negotiations for an international agreement to construct and operate ITER, the proposed fusion energy re- search project that, when built, will be the largest fusion centre in the world. Their presence at the event was simply a way to let the project’s partners - Japan, the European Union and the Russian Federation - know the community pro- posed to host ITER (International Ther- monuclear Experimental Reactor), a 30- year energy research project, is behind the Canadian bid all the way. During a week in Moscow, the dele- gation toured the Kurchatov Centre, the Russian Federation’s 60-year-old nuclear research facility. The centre is a massive compound with seven nuclear institutes, including one devoted solely to fusion research. It was an opportunity to talk with Russia’s leading experts on fusion research including academician Evgeny Velikhov, considered to be the ‘father of ITER’and president of the research cen- tre. The group also attended opening ne- gotiations for the ITER project and host- ed a reception with the Canadian em- bassy at the home of Rod Irwin, Cana- da’s ambassador to Russia. Now, as they reflected on their meet- ings with the world’s top fusion scien- tists and technology experts, they shared an optimism about the technical superi- ority of the Canadian offering. But that positive feeling was tainted by the real- ism that comes from spending time on the international stage. It’s a world where a political favour can tip the scales toward - or away from - even the most logical of selections. “There is no doubt the Canadian bid’s momentum is even stronger than be- fore,” said Mayor Mutton. “The delega- tions from the different countries were extremely impressed with the communi- ty’s support. The Russians seem to be very enthusiastic about moving forward with the Canadian site,” he noted. Chairman Anderson agreed. “I think it was a successful trip in as far as it showed the partners Durham’s commit- ment to the project, Durham’s munici- palities’commitment to the project and our sincere opinion we do have the best site and would like to see the project happen sooner than later. It showed the sincerity and commitment we have. I think a few were surprised to see us show up.” Having watched the negotiations, the chairman said he was impressed with the respect Canada garnered at the table. “I was surprised at how strong Canada is at the table and how respected we are espe- cially in the debate about potential part- ners.” But both Mayor Mutton and Chair- man Anderson noted the need for a stronger Canadian political presence at the negotiations. Currently Canada’s ne- gotiating team is led by Jim Campbell, director of financial and fiscal analysis, energy policy branch of Natural Re- sources Canada. “We’re pleased to have Jim Campbell but we need more of a po- litical presence as well including Prime Minister Jean Chrétien,” said Mayor Mutton. The mayor said he intends to lobby the federal cabinet ministers “to make sure they’re seen not only as sup- porters of the bid but leaders of the bid. The other countries’federal governments are front and centre on the ITER pro- ject,” the mayor noted. Chairman Anderson agreed. “Those sitting around the table, who all have the support of their governments, need to know our federal government is strongly there. It will be the responsibility of all of us to continue to talk to the federal MPs and any ministers of the impor- tance of not only ITER but information technology coming to Canada, in partic- ular to Durham. That’s said knowing full well our local MPs support it.” Iter Community Council chairman Mr. Polonsky says the visit opened his eyes both to the strengths of the Canadi- an bid and its weaknesses. “I think we’re going to need every strategic victory we can get. I believe we have an uphill battle,” Mr. Polonsky sug- gested, adding he believes the Durham delegation “scored a surprise coup” with its attendance in Moscow. All bids put on the table will be underdogs, he sug- gested, noting it is up to Canada to capi- talize on its strengths and improve on its weaknesses. Some of the issues Mr. Polonsky be- lieves Canada needs to address include its lack of a current fusion energy re- search program, Canada’s lack of large government investment in the project aside from $300 million being offered by the Ontario government, the distance of Canada from the other partners and its colder climate compared to some of the other potential sites. As well, he said Canada is the only partner that will drop out of the process if it is not chosen as the site to host the project. He suggested this “take-it or leave-it attitude” may have “created a sour taste” for some of the international delegates. Mr. Polonsky noted the decision will be made politically and Canada is a smaller player on the international scene. “It’s an uphill battle against experienced, wily, international giant competitors. I am not pessimistic that we can’t be suc- cessful but it may be we do everything humanly possible and we may not get it simply because the fusion scientists are all over there and they want to stay there,” he said. On the other hand, Mr. Polonsky pointed to some of Canada’s strengths in its bid including Canada’s claim as the only source of available tritium, the low operating cost of the site and excellent infrastructure. “The bottom line is we need to think with brutal clarity about our competitive strengths and weaknesses and move di- rectly to address each weakness that we can,” he said. Still, he related, “this was what I was saying about the university and it happened. So you can win some as well as lose some. Canada and Clar- ington and Durham can count on our joint team, Iter Canada, to do everything we can.” Durham delegates were well-received at the Kurchatov Institute where fusion research has been conducted for half a century.

Spring is an excellent time to plant nursery plants and trees, whether your yard needs a few well placed items or an entire landscaping. Rejuvenating a garden bed by removing over- grown evergreens is easily attainable now that the soil is moist and free of colourful annual flowers. Begin your planting pro- ject by first identifying what it is you are hoping to achieve - do you require one large tree to provide shade in the backyard? Is your front yard in need of some tidy, low maintenance evergreens? Is there gaps in a perennial border which would benefit from a flowering shrub? Armed with this information and a rough sketch perhaps of your garden areas, as well as amount of sunlight, visit your local nursery centre where you will find the trees, shrubs or evergreens required to fulfill your plan. Working within a budget is also helpful as this is just the start of the gardening season and your local nurseries will soon be bursting with row upon row of cheerful colourful annuals. Trained and knowl- edgeable staff will be able to help you with making the appropriate choices of plant material. A few suggestions for shade trees would include Norway or Globe Maples and Honey Locust for filtered shade. Ornamental trees that provide shade as well as four season interest include Katsura Tree, Japanese Silk Lilac, Newport Flowering Plum, Serviceberry and Flowering Cherry. Ideal low maintenance evergreens would be the Yews the Boxwoods and the Junipers. These evergreens come in a large assortment from upright to spreading, pyramidial to columnar, blue hues to greens and yellows. Flowering shrubs remain popular due to their predictable growing and blooming charac- teristics and include the Lilacs, the Spireas, the Viburnums and the Weiglas. Summersweet and Sweetpire shrubs grow and bloom extremely well in diffi- cult conditions such as moist/wet soil and shady areas.

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

Audrey’s Legacy is the name of a three-generation team that will take part in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event at Oshawa’s Civic Fields from 7 p.m. May 31 to 7 a.m. June 1. It’s the second year the family has taken part. Leading the team is Sandra Warren-Boone, daughter of the late Port Perry resident who died of cancer eight years ago in June. “Last year, I read about the relay in the paper, phoned every- one... to see if they’d be interest- ed,” she recalled. Everyone said yes, including a sister in Massachusetts, and they walked the track in shifts during the first Relay for Life in Durham. “My mom brought our family together every year at Christmas,” Ms. Warren-Boone, of Oshawa, said. “Now that she is gone, the Relay for Life is our opportunity to get together with one another, to honour my mother and help in the fight against cancer.” The team wears T-shirts bear- ing Mrs. Wilkinson’s picture and the team name. While the team didn’t burn up the track last year, they had a good time and lots of fun, Ms. Warren-Boone said. Families pitch tents for their rest period and refreshments and entertain- ment keeps everyone occupied. Friends and other family mem- bers help support them, bringing water or coffee and cheering them on, Ms. Warren-Boone said. Team members are Ms. War- ren-Boone, her daughter Missy Warren, grandson Darren, sister Deb Lediard, from Lindsay, her daughter Leona Boucher, and granddaughter Desiree, sister Brenda Gauthier from Massachu- setts, brother Wayne Smith of Port Perry, and his son Christopher, and sister Wanda Wilkinson, of Lindsay, her daughter Nina Mc- Clurge and her fiancé. The non-competitive event is open to teams of 10 to 12 people who take turns walking, running or strolling. Family, friends, busi- nesses and organizations can form teams. One business team will come from the Royal Bank, with employees from different branch- es joining efforts. “The relay works on a local level,” said team member Liz Burt. “It has a real community feel.” There will also be a special ceremony in which candles, in ho- nour of family members who have died from cancer or who have sur- vived the disease, will be lit around the track. About 30 relays are being held across Canada. 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 Volkswagen Beetle, courtesy of Owasco Volkswagen and Pick- ering Volkswagen. For more information or to reg- ister, 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., Os- hawa, or 9-467 Westney Rd., Ajax.) Last year’s event raised $144,000.

BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––A man convicted of an “horrific” at- tempted murder for viciously stabbing a stranger in the neck, nearly severing his jugular vein in a bid to steal a car stereo, has received a seven-year prison sentence. “I found this to be a hor- rific crime, one of the most frightening things anyone could go through,” Mr. Jus- tice Robert Scott said Wednesday. Kirk William Spencer, 22, of no fixed address, was found guilty in January of the frenzied attack on Uxbridge resident Jeremy Garrett, 20. “He was prepared to kill another person solely to get his car stereo,” Crown attor- ney Greg O’Driscoll told court. “It was vicious, it was bru- tal,it was cowardly and it was carried out in cold-hearted fashion.” Judge Scott, of Superior Court of Justice in Whitby, said Mr. Spencer most likely would be facing a life sen- tence for first-degree murder if not for the actions of a woman who in- terrupted the at- tack July 5, 2000. Court was told the victim was drinking with sev- eral friends at a downtown Whit- by strip club when Mr. Spencer befriend- ed the group. As a ruse to rob the victim of his sound system, Mr. Spencer of- fered marijuana in return for Mr. Garrett giving him a ride to a residence. While his friends waited at the bar, Mr. Gar- rett was directed by Mr. Spencer to pull into an empty parking lot on Byron Street, court heard. Mr. Spencer walked around to the driver’s side and suddenly or- dered an unsus- pecting Mr. Gar- rett to get out of the car. When the vic- tim refused, Mr. Spencer pulled a large knife and began stabbing him in the face and throat through the open driver’s side win- dow. Mr. Spencer told a trapped Mr. Garrett that he was “going to kill him” while he re- peatedly stabbed and slashed his helpless victim, court heard. Frances Westbury, a work- er at Colborne Community Services, adjacent to the parking lot, witnessed the at- tack and rushed outside shouting. The knife-wielding Mr. Spencer fled on foot. “(Ms. Westbury) virtually saved his life... Luckily for Mr. Garrett the Good Samar- itan came along and stopped the attack,” Judge Scott said. “But for a few millimetres he might have had his jugular severed in the attack and died at the scene.” Ms. Westbury wrapped towels around Mr. Garrett’s neck to stem the bleeding. Mr. Spencer was later ar- rested near the Oshawa- Courtice border. Mr. Garrett recovered and through an impact statement told court how the attack has permanently changed his life and left him psychologically scarred. In calling for a 10-year term, the Crown said Mr. Spencer was “prepared to take the life” of an innocent young man simply to rob him of his car stereo. “You are dealing with a murderer who got lucky that night,” Mr. O’Driscoll said. The prosecutor said Mr. Spencer, who has a history of violence, is a “serious men- ace” to society and poses a continuing threat to the pub- lic. Defence lawyer Chris Hanson, while agreeing with the Crown the attack had “el- ements of stark horror,” sug- gested the victim could have prevented it. “Had there been no resis- tance he may not have been stabbed,” he said. In a four-page letter to the court Mr. Spencer described his background and plans for the future. However, Mr. O’Driscoll noted the letter made no men- tion of the victim and said Mr. Spencer has shown “not an ounce” of remorse for his crime. Mr. Spencer spent nearly two years in pre-trial custody.

CALL: Yasmin Hassan (905) 426-4676 ext. 229SAMPLE BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer DURHAM —A finalized Oak Ridges Moraine conservation plan re- leased by the Province Monday could place severe financial expectations on Durham Region and its municipali- ties. “There are some significant obliga- tions to regions, like (the completion of) watershed studies; they cost money,” Alex Georgieff, Durham’s commissioner of planning, said Tues- day morning. Mr. Georgieff said the Region’s planning department would be con- ducting a review of the plan and would present an analysis to regional council’s planning committee in three weeks. The conservation plan is a detailed regulation that accompanies the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, which was passed into law by the Province last December. Essentially, the plan outlines what uses are al- lowed in four different land designa- tions on the moraine: natural core, natural linkage, countryside and set- tlement areas. However, the plan also requires municipalities begin watershed stud- ies and water budgets within one year for any stream with headwaters on the moraine. In Durham, there are 13 such creeks and rivers, under the man- agement of five separate conservation authorities. Some authorities have already completed strategic plans for a few of the watersheds, such as Uxbridge Brook and Duffins Creek, but most studies are only now getting under way. Studies on the East Cross River, Lake Scugog and Pefferlaw Brook were not scheduled to get started for another couple of years but that time- frame will be moved up. If watershed studies are not com- pleted by 2007, the Region and its municipalities will be unable to ap- prove any major developments for lands within those areas. In a submission to the Province last December, Durham Region asked for some financial assistance to complete the watershed studies and to make its Official Plan conform with the new moraine plan. But in announcements made Mon- day, the Province’s Ministry of Mu- nicipal Affairs and Housing only men- tioned assisting municipalities with technical help, not money. A spokesman from the ministry could not be reached for comment Tuesday. While the onus is on the Region to complete the watershed studies, the responsibility will likely be handed over to the conservation authorities. The Region would then fund the au- thorities. Despite the lack of financial assis- tance, the Province did address some other concerns raised by Uxbridge and Clarington, where the moraine occupies a significant amount of land. Specifically, the Province’s plan reclassifies sand and gravel pits that are surrounded by environmentally- sensitive areas as natural linkage areas rather than the less restrictive countryside designation. Some other items affecting Durham in the finalized moraine plan include: • New mapping of the various moraine land designations more accu- rately reflects what is contained in area official plans; • Clarington’s planning department said it believes an agreement worked out in the past between the municipal- ity and the aggregate industry will be upheld by the Province. The settle- ment included some tough restrictions on where sand and gravel pits could set up shop in Clarington, and the mu- nicipality was originally worried the new moraine plan would lessen those restrictions. • A number of properties originally “downzoned” in the draft conserva- tion plan now appear to have been given the go-ahead. Specifically, properties in countryside areas that have already been zoned for a specif- ic use, but which haven’t started oper- ating yet, will be allowed to proceed provided they meet a number of envi- ronmental standards; and • The minimum setback from streams and seepage areas and springs will be 30 metres, much higher than some municipalities now require. Clarington, for instance, only has a five-metre minimum setback though it requires developers to conduct envi- ronmental-impact studies to see if the setback should be more. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a 160- kilometre long ridge of sandy hills that stretches from the Niagara Es- carpment in the west to the Trent Wa- terway near Rice Lake in the east. The glacially-formed ridge is notable mostly because it provides the head- waters for more than 30 Greater Toronto Area streams and rivers flow- ing into Lake Ontario and Lake Sim- coe. The moraine stretches across six of Durham’s eight municipalities. Its groundwaters provide drinking water for 250,000 people including popula- tions in north Durham and Clarington. New moraine plan adds to Durham’s financial burden NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 3, 2002 PAGE 21 A/P A.J.

Premier Ernie Eves has made several changes to the makeup of his government, including the appointment of several new ministers. And Mr. O’Toole has not been overlooked.

Responsibilities of Mr. O’Toole’s new appointment include leading ministry con- sultations, overseeing policy initiatives, and carrying bills through the house or its com- mittees. “I appreciate the confi- dence Premier Eves has shown me with this appoint- ment,” he adds. In the past, Mr. O’Toole has served as a parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Consumer and Business Ser- vices.

On May 9, Community Liv- ing Oshawa/Clarington is invit- ing community members to the workshop ‘developing commu- nity networking with Donna Messer’. In 1979, as an unemployed mother of two, Ms. Messer de- cided to produce a variety of blended spice products for re- tail. After doing some market re- search and finding out there wasn’t much competition, she asked her neighbours to help her build the business and share in the profits. The business flour- ished and the neighbours be- came a team, each contributing their expertise while sharing the workload and profit. Ms. Messer will be teaching participants how to apply her strategies for proven results. The workshop is at the Gar- net B.

GRAND CLOSING! Maybe an uprising is needed, committee says BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Local parents and trustees spoke Monday night of mo- bilizing to tell the Province the Durham District School Board needs more money. The meeting of the Special Edu- cation Advisory Committee (SEAC) at the board’s Education Centre was to explain to parents how the provincial government funds the board’s special-education program in the context of this year’s budget process. But after hearing staff de- scribe the board’s dire financial straits, several of the roughly 50 people at the meeting said it’s time to lobby the government en masse, even stage a protest, for more funding. “How do we do it? That’s the $65,000 ques- tion,” said Ajax parent Bernie Cappuccitti in an interview. “We need to lobby the government; the government has to change the funding formula because the Durham board is underfunded.” During the meeting, he asked staff what the board was doing “to challenge the government” about inadequate funding. “Until we ad- dress it, we’re going to be strug- gling every spring with bud- get constraints,” said Mr. Cappuc- citti. Education di- rector Grant Yeo said the board’s appeals in the past have fallen on deaf hears, re- calling a rebuff to board staff mem- bers from former education minis- ter Janet Ecker. “We met re- peatedly with the MPPs and talked continually about our needs to the point that we were accused of whining,” he said. Business superintendent Ron Tr- bovich said the board’s $2 million top-up of provincial special-educa- tion funding would likely drop to $1 million this year. In terms of overall funding, he said only one other pub- lic school board in Ontario receives less provincial money per pupil than Durham’s public board. The board is hopeful it can se- cure $2 million or $3 million more in ‘intensive support amount’ spe- cial-education funding later this year, but “in the short term I think we have some serious (overall bud- get) problems,” said Mr. Trbovich. “We can only hope that the gov- ernment will move quickly to ad- dress some of the inequities in the funding formula,” he said, predict- ing “some serious cuts” to the board’s budget this year. Lakeside Public School commu- nity council chairman Donna Ed- wards said her experience is that parents’ writing individual letters to the Province is not effective. “What it takes is a collaborative group... to make a statement, other- wise it does not get heard,” she said. Ajax superintendent Gail Elliott, the board’s supervisory officer in charge of special education, agreed. “If 5,000 people landed on Queen’s Park’s doorstep waving placards... that does far more than 5,000 letters,” she said, adding it would take the “will of the people”. Ms. Elliott said staff is pulling out all the stops to avoid further cuts to the special-education program. But Mr. Yeo said if the board aligns its budget to provincial funding, as trustees have called for in a budget reduction plan, “there would be cuts.” Some speakers called on SEAC to be more vocal about the problem in Durham. SEAC chairman Laurie Beaton said the committee “can always im- prove” but noted that would be a de- parture for the group. “We’ve never been that public an advocate, but I’m sure at our next SEAC meeting there will be a lot of discussions generated from this meeting,” she said Whitby Trustee Doug Ross said “it’s a great injustice” that Durham students are funded $400 less per pupil than students in York Region. “I think you as individuals should be very mad,” he told par- ents.

An evening of fun planned at BondarEleven test positive for TB at Durham clinics DURHAM —Of the 400 people tested by the Durham Region Health Department at tuberculosis clinics held April 21 and 22, 11 results were pos- itive. “That number is well within the expected levels and un- doubtedly reflects past expo- sure,” said Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associate medical officer of health. No active cases of tuberculosis are believed to be in Durham but preventive measures have been taken. One hundred children under the age of six, who may have come in contact with an infant patient at Lakeridge Health Oshawa between April 8 and 12, have been started on an- tibiotics. Physicians will monitor the 11 adults who tested positive. As an added precaution, re- peat testing will be done in three months on everyone who tested negative during the clin- ics. Dr. Reynolds said the sec- ond assessment begins around the week of July 8 and lasts a few weeks to give people on holiday a chance to be tested a second time. Health-care officials, in- cluding those at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, assessed the 400 patients, family members and hospital visitors following the death of one baby from the disease at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and the confirmation of tuberculo- sis in a Durham infant.

Hwy 2 401Rougemount Whites HOOVER HOOVER ELECTRIC PACKAGEELECTRIC PACKAGE $579$579 Thirty years of collecting memorabilia pays off for history buff BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM —About a year ago it seemed the historic treasures Bob Stuart had collected and cared for would be lost to Durham Region. The 75-year-old had just had a heart attack and his doctor advised him to give up the cause of his stress — the cramped, unheated and damp museum housing authentic, one-of-a- kind military memorabilia. “I told my daughter and son what the doctor said and they said, ‘No’. Then I called (Oshawa Mayor) Nancy Diamond about giving up the muse- um and she said, “No, don’t do that,’” recalled Mr. Stuart. For 30 years, the Oshawa born and raised man steadfastly collected his- tory. Focusing on the air force and the men and women who served their country in both world wars, he amassed a visual record of Oshawa’s British Commonwealth Air Training Plan’s No. 20 flying school. Model planes, authentic docu- ments, pictures, maps, uniforms and medals filled the small Oshawa air- port Nissen hut he tried so valiantly to organize. He also had been entrusted with a vast array of fascinating artifacts from Camp X, the top-secret spy school and communications centre located here during the Second World War. With the mayor’s help, a Depart- ment of National Defence building at Oshawa airport was found, just around the corner from the old Nis- sen hut. And on Saturday, May 4, the grand opening of the Robert Stuart Aeronautical Collection took place. A large photograph of Sir William Stephenson, codenamed ‘Intrepid,’ and the spymaster who ran Camp X seems to welcome the visitor into a long-ago world of intrigue. A scale model of the camp that once strad- dled the Oshawa-Whitby border along the lakeshore shows what the restricted establishment actually looked like. A radio transmitter used by a se- cret agent parachuted behind enemy lines is on view, along with a hol- lowed-out book containing a small calibre revolver. “Every bit and piece I’ve been given... there’s a story behind all them,” said Mr. Stuart. As he gets ready for the big day, a tired Mr. Stuart thinks of those who’ve helped: his family, Mayor Di- amond, and the volunteers who’ve worked so hard. It would be an understatement to say the ‘Camp X’display is unique in the world, since it is the only such ex- hibit featuring the Second World War spy facility. “It’s like a dream,” said Mr. Stuart. “We waited seven months for the key but then moved in last December. I couldn’t visualize it and I had my (home) basement and garage full. I was a nuisance to a lot of people.” But he feels it’s been worth it. “We left thousands of boys over there (in war zones) that never came home,” he said. “They’ve been for- gotten. A lot of kids I went to school with never came home. We’ve ne- glected our military in this country but in time of need we sure call on them. Some of those kids were 18 and 19 years old.” As one would expect, the Canadi- an flag in front of the military green clapboard building, which houses those memories, flies at half-mast in honour of the four young Canadians killed April 17 in Afghanistan. The Robert Stuart Aeronautical Collection is located south of Os- hawa Airport’s south field. Go north on Stevenson Road North, past Ross- land Road, and take the first right when you reach the airport. The museum building is on the left.

But while the five-day all-star celebration is one of the world’s biggest events, it is just one of many attractions in this vibrant city. Perhaps the most publi- cized feature in Milwaukee is its breathtaking new art muse- um. With a dramatic new expan- sion designed by world- renowned architect Santiago Calatrava now complete, the Milwaukee Art Museum is a magnet for anyone interested in architecture. The museum’s Quadracci Pavilion, the first Calatrava- designed building in the U.S., boasts a 90-foot-high, glass- walled reception hall that is enclosed by the Burke Brise Soleil, a movable sunscreen that can be raised or lowered. Miller Park, the site of the all-star game, is another archi- tectural wonder. Opened in 2001, the high- tech stadium is the only one in North America with a fan- shaped, retractable roof. Another indoor-outdoor stadium, the Marcus Am- phitheater, can be found on Milwaukee’s Lake Michigan shoreline. This sprawling music venue offers nearly 30,000 seats (8,000 under cover) and serves as the focal point for Summer- fest, the world’s largest out- door music festival, which runs June 27 to July 7. Summer visitors to Mil- waukee can also take in a series of ethnic festi- vals, tour the Miller Brewery or visit a fac- tory in which the world-famous Harley- Davidson motorcycles are made. From July 5 through 9, however, baseball’s all-stars take centre stage. The events kick off July 5 with fan fest, held at the downtown Midwest Express Center. On July 8, the scene shifts to Miller Park for the home run derby. Finally, on July 9, the best players from the American and National Leagues face off in the 2002 all-star game, the first midsummer classic host- ed by Milwaukee in 25 years.

During the past decade, Wis- consin’s rolling, wooded terrain attracted some of the top names in golf course design. As a result, Wisconsin now offers nearly 500 public courses, including Whistling Straits, the site of the 2004 PGA Champi- onship. Nestled along Lake Michi- gan, the links-style Whistling Straits course is part of Kohler’s American Club complex, which also includes the Irish Course and Blackwolf Run (which host- ed the 1998 LPGA Champi- onship). A PGA Tour venue also awaits visiting golfers in Mil- waukee, where Brown Deer Park offers great parkland-style golf and modest greens fees. Another great value can be found at University Ridge in Verona, cited as one of ‘Ameri- ca’s Best Daily Fee Courses’ by Golfweek magazine; and at Nekoosa’s Lake Arrowhead. Other notable facilities in south- ern Wisconsin include The Bog, a winding Arnold Palmer design in Saukville; and two Lake Geneva courses: Geneva Nation- al and Grand Geneva. Wisconsin’s famous vacation peninsula, Door County, is an- other golf hot spot. Among the courses tucked into the bluffs above Green Bay are Wiscon- sin’s only Troon Golf facility — Horseshoe Bay Golf Club in Egg Harbor, and Peninsula State Park near Fish Creek. Travellers will also find a va- riety of challenging links in cen- tral and northern Wisconsin. Among the best are SentryWorld in Stevens Point; Cathedral Pines in Suring; St. Croix Na- tional in Somerset and Tom Lehman’s Troy Burne in Hud- son.

SPIDER-MAN Starring Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst. Directed by Sam Raimi. Orphaned at an early age, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) lived in Queens, New York with his beloved Aunt Mary (Rose- mary Harris) and Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson). Peter leads the life of a nor- mal student, working as a pho- tographer at the ‘Daily Bugle’ under the tutelage of publisher J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons), pining after the beautiful Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) and hanging out with buddy Harry Osborn (James Franco). On a school trip, during which Peter and his classmates are given a science demonstra- tion on spiders, Peter is bitten by a genetically altered spider. Soon after, he discovers he has unusual powers: he is endowed with the strength and agility of a spider along with a keen, ESP- like ‘spider sense.’ After discovering these pow- ers, Peter appears in a televised wrestling match and, armed with his new spider strength, wins the match in record time. But the wrestling promoter refuses to award Peter the $3,000 prize money, alleging Peter won too quickly. Soon afterwards, Peter has the opportunity to catch a bur- glar fleeing from the promoter’s office, but because he wants re- venge, refuses to stop him. Mo- ments later, the same burglar kills his beloved Uncle Ben. As spider-man, Peter appre- hends the burglar but is plagued with guilt for not being a hero sooner. During his time of turmoil, Peter remembers something Uncle Ben once told him: “With great power, there must also come great responsibility.” Peter takes this to heart and decides to use his extraordinary powers to fight crime. HOLLYWOOD ENDING Starring Woody Allen, Tea Leoni, Treat Williams. Directed by Woody Allen. Life reflects art in more ways than one in Woody Allen’s latest romantic comedy ‘Hollywood Ending.’ The movie inside the movie becomes the forum for down- and-out director Val Waxman (Woody Allen) to reclaim more than just his fading career. It’s a chance for the downtrodden artist to rekindle his passion for his work. His dilemma? The golden opportunity is being champi- oned on his behalf by the most unlikely cheerleader - Val’s ex-wife Ellie (Tea Leoni). It’s also a chance for the dejected and rejected Val to have one last shot at reigniting any residual passion that might still be lingering between him and Ellie. His issue? Hal (Treat Williams), the stu- dio head who holds the purse strings to Val’s comeback, is Ellie’s lover and boss... and the man she chose over Val. DEUCES WILD Starring Stephen Dorff, Brad Renfro, Fairuza Balk, Nor- man Reedus. Directed by Scott Kalvert. The summer of 1958 changed the Brooklyn landscape forever. Aside from the swelter- ing summer heat and the loss of their beloved Dodgers, Brook- lyn was in a state of unrest. Rumbles escalated into gun- fights, honour was quickly be- coming a thing of the past, and a new breed of wiseguys threat- ened to take control of Brook- lyn’s rough streets. But one gang wouldn’t back down: the Deuces. ‘Deuces Wild’ follows the gang as they learn loyalty and midnight rumbles can no longer protect them from the turbulent times ahead.

More than 20 young players from Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington, Ajax and Pickering are expected to be taken, led by Adam Berti of the Oshawa Carlo’s Electric major bantams. Berti is an offensive- minded centre-left winger, who could be a top-10 pick in the opening round. It’s possible the Oshawa Generals, who hold the sixth pick in the first round, could use it to snare the homegrown product. His older brother is Chris Berti, who is currently chasing an OHL championship as a member of the Erie Otters. Another highly-regarded prospect is Orono’s Bryan Bickell, a left-winger who played with the OHL Ban- tam Cup winning Toronto Red Wings. Other Oshawa prospects in- clude Michael Haley of the Oshawa Kiwanis midgets, Derrick Bagshaw, Mike McLean, Andrew Gibbons, Alex Irvine, Tyler Hickson and Julien St. Aubin of Os- hawa Carlo’s. Several players from the Whitby bantam AAA team could also see their names during the draft, which will be conducted for a second straight year via the Inter- net. Right-winger Zack Greer, centre Mathew Goodwin (son of former Oshawa Generals’ coach John Goodwin), Mike McKenzie (son of TSN broadcaster Bob McKen- zie), Femi Amurawaiye, Kyle O’Boyle, Kyle O’Brien, Kyle Clancy, Dan Barker and Nick Carson are among the Whitby prospects. Players from the Clar- ington bantams who are considered to have draft po- tential include Steven Omelko, Jason Speight, Kyle Brown and Steve Cor- nelissen. The Ajax-Pickering ban- tams also have several prospects, including Jason Winder, Brett Connolly, Ryan Annesley, Matthew Carroll (son of former NHLer Bill Carroll), Shawn Coultice, David Demarinis, Brian Eustace, Brent Small, Andrew Fagan and Patrick Milne. Jordan Froats, who played with the Port Perry MoJacks last season, and Derek Lynden of Uxbridge are also among Durham’s draft candidates.

Gymnast’s first-place showing helps club to team title PICKERING —A Pickering gymnast helped the Oshawa-based Gemini Gymnastics club capture the overall team title at the Corona Cup 2002 event in Nepean last month.

Pickering girl has nerves of Steele (Chino, CA)- Nemato Inc., the 2000 winner of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award, located in Whitby, Ontario, and Jacuzzi Premium, manufacturer of high-end hot tubs, have jointly announced a new store opening in Durham. A subsidiary of Nemato Inc., National Pool & Spa will feature Jacuzzi Premium hot tubs as well as other backyard and leisure living products. Jerry Greer, Vice-President Sales and Marketing of Jacuzzi Premium, stated, “We are honored that such a respected and well-known company as Nemato Inc. has opened a new store, National Pool & Spa, which will be a select dealer of our products. Communities in the greater Durham region can expect to receive excellent service and products from their only source for Jacuzzi Premium leisure products- National Pool & Spa.” Steve Andrews, President of Nemato Inc. and National Pool & Spa, stated, “Nemato Inc. has been a well-known and respected name within the swimming pool industry as a manufacturer of filtration systems and related products since 1987. Superior quality in products and services has and will continue to be the number one priority and cornerstone of our business. We are pleased to have Todd Thurston, with over 12 years of experience in servicing the pool and spa owners of Durham, as the General Manager of National Pool & Spa. We Advertorial LOCAL COMPANY APPOINTED DURHAM’S EXCLUSIVE JACUZZI PREMIUM RETAILER believe Todd and his staff’s proven commitment to quality and service along with the superior hot tubs manufactured by Jacuzzi Premium will provide true value to our retail pool and spa customers.” The legendary history of the Jacuzzi Company begins in the early 1900’s, with a family of ingenious means and strong desire to achieve its visions. In the early 20th century, the seven Jacuzzi brothers immigrated from Italy to the United States, eventually settling in California. There, the brothers began to create the inventions and innovations, which would astound the world with their ingenuity and ultimately provide comfort and enhancement to the lives of the general population. In 1956, the Jacuzzi brothers created the first portable whirlpool pump, which they placed freestanding in a bathtub, christening it the “J-300”. While the J- 300’s earliest applications were mainly for medical and rehabilitative purposes, it didn’t take long for the world to catch on to the many benefits of hot water therapy, or hydrotherapy. In 1968 Roy Jacuzzi revolutionized the industry by inventing and marketing the world’s first self-contained, fully integrated whirlpool bath, and in 1970 the Jacuzzi spa was born, establishing Jacuzzi as the first name in hot tubs. The hot tubs that are widely enjoyed today are based on the original concept, design and forward thinking of Roy Jacuzzi. Jacuzzi Premium currently holds the distinction of being the largest spa manufacturer in the world. The company has maintained all engineering and design aspects in house, and has continued in the tradition and quality that has long been associated with this legendary brand. The Jacuzzi name, trusted and renowned throughout the world, has become synonymous with the ideas and inventions that have improved and enhanced people’s lives and have brought enjoyment and relaxation to the comfort and convenience of their own backyards. Besides Jacuzzi Premium hot tubs, National Pool & Spa also carries a full line of pool and spa chemicals, aboveground and in-ground pools and other leisure items. If you would like more information about Jacuzzi Premium hot tubs or any other pool and spa needs, National Pool & Spa can be contacted at (905) 571-4095 or visit their store at 1605 McEwen Drive, Whitby, Ontario.

The match pitted Picker- ing’s Valley Farm Public School (16-0) against Ormis- ton Public School of Whitby in the championship game at the DEAA Final Four Cham- pionships hosted at Captain Michael VandenBos Public School in Whit- by April 25. The final was a nail-biter from the open- ing tip with the teams playing to a 17-17 half- time tie. With less than 30 sec- onds to go in the game, the score was knotted at 36-36 when Valley Farm’s Cory Joseph sank a crucial foul shot to give the Pickering school a narrow 37-36 victo- ry and the regional champi- onship. Valley Farm defeated an- other Whitby school, Leslie McFarlane Public School, 43-29 in the semifinal. Other Valley Farm team members are Kelly Armstrong, Junior Campbell, Jeremy Carr, Kevin Cole, Ammaar Dawson, Matt Halket, Robert Jaipaul, Nicholas Ramsahoye, Antho- ny Singh, Matthew St. Kitts and Jameel Williamson.

In the Durham championship game, Maple Ridge kept its perfect season (44-0) intact after earning an exciting 27-23 victory over Oshawa’s Vincent Massey Public School. After Maple Ridge jumped out to a 22-5 halftime lead, Vincent Massey showed a lot of character by battling back to make the score 22-17 at the end of the third quarter. Team play by Maple Ridge helped the girls hold off Vincent Massey in the fourth quarter. During the season, Maple Ridge won six Durham tournaments, includ- ing the Pickering Pride Invitational against 32 top Durham teams (March 22 and 23), the Sinclair S.S. Invitation- al (Feb. 16) and the Kedron Coyotes Invitational (April 5 and 6).
