Road rage leads to arrest Catholic board’s Karwowski ‘regrets’ e-mail; officials seek replacement BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —An Oshawa trustee has resigned after making an “inappropriate comment” in an e- mail. Stan Karwowski, one of two Os- hawa representatives on the Durham Catholic District School Board, stepped down Tuesday. He did not attend Wednesday night’s regular board meeting, when the board announced it is seeking applicants for the job and plans to appoint a new Oshawa trustee at a June 19, special board meeting. Trustee Karwowski, who was in his second, non-consecutive term on the board, said in an interview he made the comment to someone who had e-mailed him at his board ad- dress, one of hundreds of “harass- ing” e-mails and phone calls he said he received after the board took a stand to not allow Marc Hall, a gay Oshawa Catholic high school stu- dent, to attend his school prom with his boyfriend. “In the heat of the moment, I re- gretfully made an inappropriate comment and I apologize; I did not want my comment to become a lightning rod on this issue,” he said. Trustee Karwowski would not say what the remark was. “I have no comment; I’m not saying anything,” he said. “I have apologized to the individual.” Trustee Karwowski said he “thought it was best” to resign, adding he made the “difficult deci- sion” on his own and was not asked to step down. Trustees at the meeting did not discuss why their colleague had re- signed, just the logistics of appoint- See ‘INAPPROPRIATE’page 2 Farm lands included in growth study Working group will prepare terms of reference for Pickering review BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Despite the efforts of one member of council and pleas from environmentalists and local landowners, north Picker- ing’s agricultural assembly will re- main a part of a growth manage- ment study. After much debate over what to include and whether to do it at all, Pickering council voted 4-2 Mon- day night to establish a working group to prepare the terms of refer- ence for completing the growth management study in north Picker- ing. The study will guide further development and growth. See PICKERING page 4 TODAY’S LIFESTYLE Always Your Best Value!

Board chairman Mary Ann Mar- tin recently posted a message on an Internet message board on ‘The Marc Hall Web Site’, set up by some friends of Mr. Hall, who won a court in- junction against the board and Michael Powers, the Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic High School principal, enabling him and his boyfriend to attend the school’s May 10 prom as a couple. Mr. Hall’s boyfriend, Jean- Paul Dumond, re- vealed this week the two have since split up. “I have been informed about an e-mail message sent by one of our board trustees which has dis- turbed me great- ly,” Trustee Mar- tin stated on the site. “Although I have not seen the original message, its content has been relayed to me. The words that I am told were used in the e-mail message, I find to be com- pletely inappro- priate. The Durham Catholic District School Board disassoci- ates itself from the remarks. On be- half of the board I would like to apologize to you and anyone else who may have been hurt by the e- mail’s content. I can assure you such conduct by a trustee of this board is unaccept- able and will not be tolerated. Ac- tion is being taken by this board to prevent a reoccur- rence.” Trustee Martin in an interview said she met with Trustee Karwows- ki and it was agreed they would both apologize to the person involved, she on behalf of the board and to anyone else who may have been offended by the re- mark. “Stan was very apologetic for it, very sorry for what had taken place,” she said. “We all are human; we can all make mistakes.” Trustee Martin said other board members were reminded that as chairman, she would respond to any e-mails or phone calls they receive on the Marc Hall issue. The board plans to advertise the trustee opening starting this week- end. Education director Grant An- drews, in a Wednesday night report to trustees, said the Education Act allows boards to either appoint a trustee or hold a byelection when a vacancy occurs mid-term. Most boards choose to appoint someone because of the cost involved in a by- election, he said.

When the provincial government gave the thumbs-up to Durham’s Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technolo- gy in May 2001, it was time to get down to the task of making the dream a reality. “People have really been working around the clock,” says UOIT President Gary Polonsky. “We promised it would be open in September 2003.” It’s an oath they intend to keep. “It’s one thing to have the curriculum in place, it’s another to have the build- ings. We’ve put together a wonderful planning team. I can’t think how it could be any better. We will be ready. The buildings are going up now,” says Mr. Polonsky. “Ready” means completion of three new academic buildings with a total of 140,000 square feet of space to house manufacturing, justice, information technology and health departments. It also means building homes for students who will bunk on campus. An additional 214-space student residence will be built this year, adding to Durham College’s existing 400 spaces. “We plan to start another residence to be ready for 2003 and then year after year in 2004, 2005, 2006, says Mr. Polonsky. “We plan to be creating a city here or at least a town.” This town, or campus village, has a master plan that includes every aspect of student life from spiritual to physical to the academic. “It’s a miracle. To me, it’s a genuine miracle,” says the president whose enthusiasm for creating an inspi- rational learning space has extended to donating a carillon, a musical bell sys- tem, to be placed in the tower of one of the foremost buildings. “It will be ready by this fall. When people come onto the campus this Christmas,odds on they will be listening to ‘Joy to the World’.” The carillon is representative of the vision of harmony between nature and function and between people and their space which the overall campus plan en- compasses. “We have a number of principles that are defining the design work taking place,” says Mr. Polonsky. “Beauty, con- nectedness, safety, chances of encounter by which I mean we want students and staff to have multiple opportunities to just bump into each other, to be sur- rounded by informal places to engage in conversation. Wherever you stand, wherever you look, you will be invited to go to where you’re gazing.” The master plan for 115 acres south of Conlin Road, has already been un- veiled with the campus north of Conlin Road to be revealed at a May 27 board meeting. The south campus plan will begin with the three buildings opening this fall to be followed in 2003 by the first of five academic buildings that will surround a common area, creating a quadrangle of grassed space for students and faculty to gather. Also in 2003, the first of a cluster of three residences “overlooking the Os- hawa Creek valley and a beautiful vista,” will be built. But the major construction will come a year later, in 2004, when the plan is to build four additional academic buildings with “lots of glass and virtually no con- crete. Other buildings may include a future athletic complex and student service buildings. “We’ll look to world-class ar- chitects to knock our socks off yet still reinforce the other principles,” he says. “When one combines the plans for the campus it includes opening up the river valley, visually at least, in an ex- tremely environmental, splendid way,” says Mr. Polonsky.

Corner of Station Street and Commercial Ave. The area to be studied is from the Seaton lands (Brock Road) in the east to the York/Durham border in the west, Hwy. 7 to the north and the Canadian Pacific Railway line to the south, including the existing agricultural pre- serve. The preserve was cre- ated in 1999 by placing agri- cultural easements on most of 5,000 acres of Provincial land east of the York Region and Toronto borders, west of Duffins Creek and north of the CPR line up to the 5th Concession. The agricultural lands were then sold off with the easements in place to save the area as farmland. Several smaller landown- ers and environmentalists spoke Monday night about fears that developers who own some of the land would now be pushing for urban de- velopment. Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland also argued the agricultural easements were only placed three years ago and if Pickering contin- ues to show planning and zoning in the area is “fluid”, it will prove a sore spot in fu- ture negotiations with the Province in regards to the ‘Seaton’property it owns. “This is a disastrous strat- egy,” said Coun. Holland, ex- plaining the Province may use Pickering’s constantly changing plans for the north as an excuse to run roughshod over the local planning process. “If it’s fluid to us why would the Province not think it’s fluid for them... do you think they won’t use this as an excuse to impose a minister’s order because I do?” However, council voted in favour of doing a comprehen- sive review of the north and agreed the agricultural pre- serve needs to be included. Councillors Holland and Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles voted against it. Council’s decision, how- ever, was supported by David Steele, president of Pickering and Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment (PACT). “We must have a thorough environmental review of all lands,” he told council. “The growth management study is not an attempt, as some citi- zens fear, to force growth on Pickering; it does not try to grow suburbs in farmers’ fields — quite the contrary. It is simply a thorough exami- nation of the existing envi- ronment in Pickering, a state of the City study necessary to implement smart growth over the next decades.” The working group is ex- pected to report back to coun- cil on the terms of reference sometime after June, at which time council will issue a re- quest for proposals from qualified consulting teams capable of undertaking the study.

BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––A Toron- to Police officer accused of sexually abusing his two daughters has dismissed their testimony as “disgust- ing lies.” The 49-year-old Durham Region man has pleaded not guilty to two counts each of sexual assault, sex- ual interference and sexual exploitation. His eldest daughter testi- fied last week during the Superior Court trial that she was sexually assaulted by her father continuously from the time she was age four or five until she was 17, three to four times a week. The younger daughter has testified she was abused while aged 13 and 14, less frequently. On Wednes- day, the accused man denied all their allegations, calling them “preposterous” and “ridiculous” while questioned by his lawyer Iain Donnell. “That’s crazy. It never hap- pened, that’s a lie,” he testified, in response to one question re- garding the alle- gations involv- ing his oldest daughter, now 20. Asked about her evidence he would grab her by the arm and lead her to an upstairs bed- room, he replied: “It’s a plain lie, like all the other lies.” And, asked if he smoth- ered the older girl’s face with a towel or blanket while sexually assaulting her, he said: “I’d never do anything of that nature. Questioning turned to the alleged sex assaults on his younger daughter. “It’s disgusting, it’s re- volting. I wouldn’t do that to anyone, (not) my wife, my girlfriend,” the man re- sponded. Court has heard the older daughter disclosed the al- leged abuse to a family counsellor she was seeing shortly after her parents’ separated, and her sister told police she was sexually abused during the subse- quent police investigation. The man testified he had a “close-knit” relationship with his daughters, but after separating from his wife in late 1999, he saw them less frequently. While married, his wife did most of the disciplining of the children, he said. “I was the police officer and she was the chief at home. She screamed a lot at the kids, I didn’t like it,” he testified. Mr. Justice John Shep- pard is hearing the case without a jury.

I can’t imagine too many of them will be inclined to stay in uni- form if our government doesn’t start replacing their outdated equipment. A byproduct of Ottawa’s reluctance to modernize the military has left our soldiers enduring almost daily insults to one of their greatest assets — pride. Editorial cartoonists have been having a field day lampooning the equipment of our Armed Forces. Even late-night talk show hosts on Ameri- can television have been using the state of Canada’s military as cannon fodder for getting laughs from their audience. Despite all the derogatory remarks and obsolete equipment, Canadian soldiers continue to partici- pate in dangerous missions abroad, performing remarkable tasks that are never properly recognized by most of us. Very few Canadians are aware of the tremendous accomplishments Canadian peacekeepers have achieved in countries that have been ravaged by war. Canadian peacekeepers are ar- guably the best in the business, having learned what works best through countless experiences. But, the jobs they take on can’t be accomplished by pride alone. They desperately need the proper equipment in order to continue carrying out the precarious missions our government assigns to them. The movie ‘Black Hawk Down’ highlighted some of the tragic condi- tions peacekeepers have faced while trying to carry out their missions. A battle of similar proportions befell Canadian Forces in the former Yu- goslavia at a place known as the Medak Pocket. The battle they en- dured there was recorded as the biggest firefight Canadian soldiers have faced since the Korean War. While the unrest in the Balkan region no longer makes headlines in the daily newspapers, the presence of Canadian Forces in the region continues to sta- bilize the peace process. Our soldiers deserve so much more respect than they’ve been given. They are underfunded and under-appreciat- ed, and it is foolish to think these sol- diers aren’t negatively impacted by this neglect. We can only hope the sleepwalk- ing politicians in Ottawa wake up soon before the best of our soldiers decide to call it quits. Ottawa should consider providing some high-quality equipment that equals the pride of those who wear the uniform. Then, whether it comes to peacekeeping or peacemaking, our proud soldiers will have heard the last of the jokes. Time for government to rebuild military pride Let’s make sure our underfunded and under-appreciated soldiers have heard the last of the jokes Dennis Keefer Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 24, 2002 Agricultural lands need protection To the editor: Re: Pickering agricultural reserve being in- cluded in growth management study. Pickering council went on living in the past when it voted this week to, in essence, destroy the agricultural preserve in Picker- ing it had helped to create. Thus unlimited urban sprawl will now continue through the last green door of the Greater Toronto Area, which will become the catalyst to continued urban sprawl through Pickering and beyond. The preserve will now become an addi- tional urban area to the publicly owned Seaton lands, east of West Duffins Creek, which the Province is using as a land swap in exchange for land owned by developers on the Oak Ridges Moraine. It’s obvious Pickering has little clout in the disposition of the Seaton lands and will encourage ur- banization of the agricultural lands. Pickering council showed no interest in the fact many tenants living on the lands in question would be subject to the whims of developers. Many of the tenants were ex- propriated by the Province 30 years ago and have been renting back their lands since then. In fact, they have paid three times over for their properties. Pickering council, it seems, has an urban adviser on hand at all times, but no one to advise it on rural or environmental concerns which shows it, like Markham, will allow developers freedom to do what they like in the 21st century. It’s a very sad day for Pick- ering.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 24, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com There are many changes under way at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Officials at the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System have been busy in recent weeks talking up new initiatives at the hospital, including a new (albeit temporary) ambulatory care unit and a new dedicated ward for children. The efforts of hospital officials, still working as they are under tight fiscal restraints, are to be applauded. It’s clear the hospital administration is responsive to local health needs and has been working diligently with governments and corporate partners to bring top-notch services and facilities to the popu- lace. But all the good news can’t eliminate the more pressing is- sues still facing Rouge Valley. Even with internal changes, hos- pital officials can’t ignore a history of being chronically under- funded in a growing community. It’s important to point out, too, that the Ajax site’s emergency department sees approximately 42,000 patients every year in a facility designed to serve rough- ly 20,000. Certainly, those in the hospital industry must be feeling a lit- tle more optimistic about the future, at least as it relates to fund- ing issues, with the arrival of new Ontario Premier Ernie Eves. Mr. Eves signalled early on in the leadership race this spring it was time for the provincial government to reconsider certain is- sues when it came to health care and education. He followed that up with the recent throne speech promise of delivering multi-year funding announcements for the health sys- tem. That kind of stable setup will allow hospitals to plan for down the road, rather than living year to year. With the knowledge of these changes, hospital officials in Durham Region must now continue working to extract more funding commitments to adequately meet their needs in serving the growing communities in west Durham. Today, at least, hospital officials and the communities of Ajax and Pickering can acknowledge and celebrate some of the nec- essary changes and upgrades at Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker- ing. But let the celebration be taken in context; these are small steps on the road to a much better equipped and state-of-the-art hospital to serve the area.

Hospital officials cleared the site of viral gastroenteritis last week but the illness has made a comeback. A few patients on the fourth floor are ex- periencing nausea, vomit- ing, diarrhea and headache which prompted staff to ban visitors from that area. “It only takes one (case) to get us back where we started from,” said Linda Robinson, communica- tions specialist for the Lak- eridge Health Corporation. At one point, around 30 patients and 10 staff mem- bers were diagnosed with the stomach illness that is spread through close con- tact with an infected per- son. Symptoms usually last 24 to 48 hours and staff doesn’t consider being in the clear until there are no new cases within 48 hours. Ms. Robinson said there have been no new cases since Tuesday, but the hos- pital likely won’t be wel- coming visitors until Mon- day. LANDSCAPE DESIGNS AND INSTALLATION WE’RE HERE TO HELP!

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Several residents at Tues- day’s Durham District School Board meeting accused the board of housing a “sex clinic” at G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute. Carol Switzer, mother of Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen, asked the board to suspend operation of and investigate the Wellness Cen- tre that the Oshawa Community Health Cen- tre (OCHC) operates in leased space at the south Oshawa school. The residents claimed free condoms and birth control pills are dispensed there to stu- dents, without parents’knowledge and in con- travention of the Education Ministry curricu- lum the board follows on abstinence. “The administrator informed me that con- doms and abortion pills are freely, freely given to students,” Ms. Switzer said during question period, noting she was at the clinic Tuesday. Education director Grant Yeo replied ‘no’ when resident Carol Steffen asked if it was “the board’s mandate to sanction, endorse and facilitate promiscuous sex for our teens.” He said the centre doctors determine what services are offered to students, not the school, and that the centre operates on a year- ly lease. Lee Kierstead, OCHC executive director, would neither confirm nor deny the allegation in an interview. He said he had heard the com- ments made at the meeting, but would not ad- dress the complaints about contraceptives being dispensed. “Health care is our business and we’ll con- tinue to do that business while we have the support of the community and the board,” said Mr. Kierstead. The centre provides health-care services primarily to students, but ran an influenza vaccine program for the community this year, he said. The centre opened about two years ago and is funded by the Province, the federal government, the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa, the City of Oshawa, the Trillium Foundation and the community. Mr. Kierstead said there have been no complaints made to the OCHC about the cen- tre. Sally McIllveen, Oshawa schools superin- tendent, described the centre as “a vision that school administrators and local health practi- tioners had to provide medical care in a com- munity which did not have the necessary ac- cess to health service”, noting there are no doctors in Oshawa south of Hwy. 401. Ms. McIllveen said a major focus of the Wellness Centre is nutrition, including a breakfast program for roughly 80 students per day. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said she lives in south Oshawa and the centre provides “needed services” in a community where there are no other options for local people. Beyond their parents,she asked if residents would prefer their kids getting birth control information from their friends or a doctor. Trustee Steffen said she, too, lives in south Oshawa and is “sick and tired of being pitied by the same bunch.” She said “initially a lot of good things started at the clinic” like the breakfast pro- gram and dental clinic. “Giving out a muffin is a lot different than giving out birth control,” said Trustee Steffen. “Administrative council has passed this with- out trustees approving it and I think that’s hor- rendous.” “We do not micro-manage; we are not within the schools,” replied Whitby Trustee Elizabeth Roy, who said the clinic has had a positive impact. Trustee Roy proposed the issue come back for discussion at the next standing committee meeting, when staff is to provide a report.

The average selling price increased again last month to $205,577 up from $201,985 in February, and an 11-per cent increase from the average price of $185,110 in March 2001. Even the inventory of homes for sale increased to 1,658 active listings on the Multiple Listing System (MLS) in March, up from 1,438 in February. Howev- er, that still reflects a de- crease of 20 per cent from the 1,993 listings last March. The Durham housing market is still moving quickly with homes on the market an average of 28 days and selling at 99 per cent of the listing price. “We’re still setting records and expect the hot spring market will continue, especially with interest rates remaining relatively low,” added Ms. Mapplebeck.

We’re going to spend almost a million dollars and that may be OK or it may be a throw-away system,” said the mayor. As part of its waste reduc- tion strategy, the Region has taken over responsibility for garbage collection in the mu- nicipalities of Clarington, Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. In its 2002 budget process, regional council ap- proved collection of more re- cyclables and separated or- ganic waste for diversion from landfill. It hopes to get the remaining four munici- palities — Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering — on a similar system to further in- crease the diversion of garbage from landfill. Os- hawa and Whitby operate their own municipal collec- tion systems while Pickering and Ajax are currently under contract with private collec- tors. But the program, slated to begin in September, could be delayed if the works commit- tee can’t decide soon what type of container it wants res- idents to use for the food scraps and yard waste, said Peter Watson, manager of Durham’s waste manage- ment department. “The company’s not going to make a commitment to supply and deliver the carts when it hasn’t got an order from us,” he said, not- ing the manufacturer needs time to make the containers. Works department staff recommended a wheeled cart that stands about three-feet high for kitchen scraps and then separate collection of bundled yard waste. The carts would cost $783,789 for 40,800 sets. The price in- cludes a small countertop container residents could use to collect waste they would then transfer to light green plastic bags and throw in the container, which would then be wheeled to the curb. It is also small enough to put in the trunk and be driven to the curb by rural residents with long driveways. Scott Wolfe, general man- ager for Miller Waste Sys- tems, one of the collectors hired by the Region, told the committee his company would prefer to eliminate plastic bags from the collec- tion process although the contract it won was based on a plastic bag system. Mr. Wolfe also told the committee that although the small carts, manufactured by Norsemen, were probably the most ideal of the carts he knows of for rural areas, he believes the larger carts are preferable in urban areas. “We did bid to collect this waste stream in plastic bags as it was a requirement of the tender... this acknowledge- ment of the bid requirements should not be viewed howev- er as an endorsement by Miller of the use of plastic bags in organic collection systems,” Mr. Wolfe said. Some committee mem- bers questioned the wisdom of beginning a small cart pro- gram in rural areas if it wouldn’t be compatible with a system introduced in the urban areas at a later date, if other municipalities came on board. Works committee chair- man Rick Johnson supports the idea of a larger, aerated cart that stands about five- feet high that would hold both kitchen and yard waste. He suggested the larger cart would actually be easier for residents, would eliminate the need for plastic bags and would allow the collection companies to use automated trucks to lift the containers from the curb, which, he said could mean a savings in col- lection costs. But Mr. Watson pointed out Toronto, which has a pre- dominantly urban compo- nent, studied the issue at length and chose the Norse- man cart. Currently, he added, Durham can piggy- back on the Toronto order and receive a better price, an offer that won’t be around in- definitely. As well, the waste manag- er suggested the larger carts are too bulky for many resi- dents in townhouses where space is at a premium and in rural areas where they would be cumbersome to get down driveways, especially in win- ter. The larger carts are also significantly more expensive to purchase, he added. The committee has re- quested a more detailed cost analysis and report on the merits of various carts to be presented at its next meeting.

Ajax library looks to community for a look at the future BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —In the age of in- formation, the Ajax Public Library is looking to the fu- ture in an effort to keep up. With the changing de- mands for library service, the Ajax Public Library has put forth a draft strategic plan, which outlines two possible new service models for the li- brary, as well as various other financial aspects. “We’re trying to figure out what service should look like,” said Cindy Kimber, the library’s community relations co-ordinator. Currently, the library serves about 75,000 people at three locations. The draft’s objective is to provide ade- quate, safe, user friendly, ac- cessible, comfortable, and exciting library facilities to meet the growing needs of the community. The first of the two mod- els envisions services from two district locations (one being the under-construction central branch) and a network of community branches. The district branches would offer informational and recreation- al collections and services in- cluding reference collections, significant electronic re- sources, multilingual collec- tions, and extensive hours of service. The two to four com- munity branches would pri- marily offer popular and recreational collections, as well as some general refer- ence collections and electron- ic resources. The other model features one central branch (with fu- ture expansions of the new building by 20,000 square feet) and a network of com- munity branches. The central branch would offer extensive informational and recreation- al collections and services, including reference collec- tions, electronic resources and e-learning/computer training facilities, multilin- gual collections, and longer hours of service. The four neighbourhood branches would primarily offer popu- lar and recreational collec- tions, as well as some gener- al reference collections and electronic resources. The library is hosting pub- lic focus groups Wednesday, May 29 at 2 and 7 p.m. in the current main branch program room at 65 Harwood Ave. S. The sessions will review the two models, as well as other objectives from the draft plan. According to Mrs. Kim- ber, the purpose of the meet- ings is to set the stage, and ensure the library and com- munity are looking in the same direction. “We look for- ward to community input and seeing what residents envi- sion for the future library ser- vice in Ajax,” she said. Copies of the plan are available at all branches as well as on the Web site at www.townofajax.com/li- brary.

Advertorial BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Two female workers at a maximum security Young Offenders facility are ac- cused of having sex with male in- mates, in an alleged scandal also in- volving charges of drugs, booze and blackmail. Durham Regional Police have charged a bookkeeper and a guard at Kennedy House, a secure cus- tody detention centre on Main Street in Uxbridge, each with two counts of sexual assault and sexual exploitation. The charges allege encounters with three male teenaged inmates. The investigation began last month after detectives from the Sexual Assault Unit received infor- mation “that a female employee of Kennedy House had allegedly had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a male resident,” said a state- ment issued by police yesterday. During the probe a second youth told investigators he also had sexu- al encounters with the same man- agement employee, police said. Detectives arrested the 41-year- old bookkeeper a week ago Wednesday. Their investigation widened to include allegations one of the two teenaged boys, as well as a third male inmate, had also been in- volved in an “inappropriate sexual relationship” with a front-line fe- male guard. The guard, a 29-year-old Whitby woman, was arrested this past Wednesday. The accused both appeared in Oshawa court and were released on bail. Ed Blazo, executive director for Kennedy House Youth Services, a non-profit agency that operates the facility, said he was “shocked” by the arrests. “I’m very, very much concerned. My understanding is there was a child in the facility and once he was released reported allegations of sex- ual abuse to the CAS,” Mr. Blazo said. About 18 months ago Kennedy House took over running the 80-bed fenced facility, which houses Phase 1 male offenders, those aged 12-16. Prior to that, it was St. John’s Train- ing School, operated by Christian Brothers, which was rocked by a sex-abuse scandal in the 1990s. Court documents outlining the charges against the bookkeeper state between July 1, 2001 and March 31 this year she engaged in sexual intercourse with a young person while “in a position of trust and authority towards” the teen. The charges involving the sec- ond inmate alleged oral sex was performed on him between Sept. 1, 2001 and Jan. 31, 2002. The 29-year-old guard is ac- cused of engaging in intercourse with a third “young person” be- tween May 21, 1999 and Jan. 28, 2000 “while in a position of trust or authority,” and from May 8, 2001 to June 22, 2001 performing fellatio on one of the boys who is allegedly also involved with the first accused. Sources said the investigation also has involved allegations in- mates were provided with marijua- na and alcohol, and that one ac- cused was blackmailed by an in- mate, who threatened to report the alleged sexual encounters to author- ities unless he was given a large sum of cash. Erin Murphy-Simpson, 29, of Bassett Boulevard, Whitby was re- leased on $2,500 bail and is sched- uled to appear in Oshawa court June 12. Linda Harrison, 41, of Pefferlaw, is out on $2,000 bail and is due back in court May 31. She was or- dered not to be in the company of a child under 16 years unless in the presence of their parent or legal guardian.

Don’t ruin it by waking up with a hangover and a nameless piece of paper that includes a phone number saying ‘Call me.’ Durham schools, the Liquor Con- trol Board of Ontario (LCBO) and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) are working to keep proms safe. “Schools have presentations in conjunction with MADD,” said Mark Joel, staff development co-ordinator of the Durham District School Board. “Prom is a time of celebration of the end of a long career.” Mr. Joel added no celebration should end with an alcohol-related accident or injury. LCBO chief executive officer An- drew Brandt said stores across the province are vigorous in their efforts to prevent sales to anyone under 19. “Preventing sales to minors is a year-round priority the LCBO takes seriously. “Our store employees are espe- cially vigilant during prom season, watching for minors attempting to purchase alcohol for end-of-school celebrations,” said Mr. Brandt. At the Kawartha Pine Ridge Dis- trict School Board, which covers Clarington, students must put in writ- ing a promise they’ll be responsible for their own behaviour. “All the students who go to prom sign a behavioural guideline,” said education superintendent Sylvia Terpstra. “Students would want the protec- tion. What we want is for our kids to be successful. “We want the students to have good memories of what they accom- plished. Prom is a tradition we want to honour.” Above all, students are encour- aged to be sensible, smart and safe. “Are you willing to put your fu- ture on the line?” Mrs. Terpstra asked. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Students coast to first place in rollercoaster design contest PICKERING –– Ontario Academic Credit physics students at St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School took top honours for technical merit in a competition featuring student- built rollercoasters. The contest, organized by Canada’s Wonderland, brought out the best in designs among Ontario students. Here, (from left) students Joshua Schembri, Patrick Madera, Joseph Amantea, Malgorzata Figiel and Kevin Klinger display their working 85- centimetre-tall rollercoaster at the school. Know the risks of alcohol The Liquor Control Board of On- tario provides the following alcohol- abuse guidelines: • Five or more drinks in one sitting is binge drinking; • Too much alcohol in a short time can cause permanent organ damage, and can lead to alcohol poisoning; • In 2001, 25 per cent of underage youth reported they binge drink — up from 18 per cent in 1993. (Source: The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s 2001 Ontario survey of about 4,000 Ontario students in Grade 7 to OAC); • If you drink excessively, you’re more likely to engage in socially un- acceptable behaviour; • Heavy drinking increases the risk of injury, can lead to violence, un- wanted/ or unprotected sex and phys- ical harm; • Alcohol can ruin your looks, make you fall behind in school, and hurt your sports performance; and • A 12-oz. beer, a 5-oz. glass of wine, and one mixed drink with 1.5 oz. of spirits all contain the same amount of alcohol.

Durham Cancer Society branches merge DURHAM ––The two local branches of the Canadian Cancer So- ciety are joining forces in their fight against cancer. The Durham West and Durham East branches will become one to provide better service to Durham Re- gion, said Lynn Nazarko, manager of the West Durham unit. “The decision to move together came after considerable review and a thorough examination of our opera- tions,” she said. “With the combined efforts of many dedicated local volunteers and the support of five staff members, the Canadian Cancer Society will contin- ue to help people living with cancer in our community.” The two units are now looking for a new, central office location. There’s no date set yet for any moves but of- ficials hope things will be settled this fall, Ms. Nazarko said. Terry McCarl, president of the East Durham unit, said he’s “confi- dent this reorganization of resources will benefit those who need our assis- tance, people living with cancer and their families.” A name for the amalgamated unit has yet to be picked. The East Durham unit is responsi- ble for Oshawa, Scugog and Claring- ton and has its office in Oshawa. The West Durham unit handles Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Uxbridge and Brock and has its office in Ajax. Garage sale helps injured animals PICKERING ––A local group is hosting a garage sale this weekend to aid abandoned animals. Action Volunteers for Animals holds its annual garage sale Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26 starting at 8:30 a.m. at 1981 Spruce Hill Road, (1 block east of Whites, south of Finch). This huge sale benefits the Poor Tom Fund that helps to cover veteri- nary costs of abandoned and injured animals. Planner says lack of rental unit development could hurt town BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —There are plenty of single-detached homes being built or planned for Ajax, but there’s also a dearth of rental units, especially apartments. Of the approximately 4,400 residential units that have been approved for de- velopment, there isn’t one for a high-rise building, Ajax planner Gary Muller said in the Town’s annual housing report. The vacancy rate in the Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge area in 2000/01 was 0.9 per cent, he noted. “A healthy rental vacan- cy rate is considered to be in the order of at least three per cent,” Mr. Muller stated in his report. In a presentation to council last week, Mr. Muller said the Town was “on target of reaching growth of 800 units a year. There’s a lot of opportunity for growth,” he said, adding, “There isn’t a lot of interest in high-density homes.” Of the 4,400 units, about 3,200 are single-detached homes, almost 500 semi- detached and just over 700 are townhouses. High-density housing should be encouraged and revisions in approved plans to remove high-density units should be discour- aged, Mr. Muller added. “In general, there is a link between the provision of a full range of housing and the ability of the mu- nicipality to provide for a full range of services, jobs, facilities and diversity of non-residential activities that can be provided,” Mr. Muller added. “This diver- sity should be encouraged as new residential develop- ment applications are con- sidered.” Ward 1 local Councillor Ralph Golberg noted apart- ments could be built over businesses, such as the Courtyard in Pickering Vil- lage. “That type of develop- ment is encouraged by the Town,” Mr. Muller said. “It represents an opportunity. We’ve not seen any propos- als like that.” Ward 4 local Councillor Pat Brown added, “The last private (sector) apartment built in Ajax was 15 years ago. The last public (sec- tor) apartment was Post Hill and that was 12 years ago. “It’s a type of housing we’re in dire need of. The Province isn’t doing enough to promote this type of housing.” Mr. Muller agreed, say- ing, “Staff do recognize there’s a shortage. We rec- ognize it by the vacancy rate and by building permit activity. We’re at council’s disposal on what type of in- centives we can offer.” As for the homes that will be built, “the lion’s share of new residential growth will be north of Rossland Road,” he said. “Six thousand units are possible, although no ap- plications have yet been re- ceived and detailed plan- ning still has to occur,” he said. Ajax has about a 10- year supply of land for res- idential development, Mr. Muller added. Completing an annual housing report is one of the conditions contained in the Town’s Official Plan.

More than 50 pupils received free eyeglasses at the Durham District School Board Education Centre last Thursday and Friday, courtesy of LensCrafters’ gift of sight program that provides eye exams and glasses to students in need across North America. After a pre-screening of 3,000 stu- dents last month, when volunteers gave pupils a preliminary eye test, the LensCrafters’ ‘vision van’ was in Whitby to complete the process. The van is equipped with an optometrist, opticians and technicians and is a mobile store as well, so students can have their eyes tested by a profes- sional, choose frames and have their glasses made while they wait. “Our community is just over- whelmed with what support this is for kids, because these are kids who can’t see well enough to learn,” said Barbara Farrow, principal of Mary Street Community School, in an in- terview. Last Friday afternoon she was waiting for her 25 students aged four to 14 to return from Whitby with their new glasses. “This is a very cool thing,” she said of students’ reaction to going to the Education Centre. “They were going on a bus, seeing a magician, being fed, going on an outing.” The other schools involved in the program were Dr. C.F. Cannon, Queen Elizabeth, Village Union, Rit- son, Cedardale and Gertrude Colpus public schools. Board spokesman Andrea Pidwer- becki said the students were “thrilled” when they received their new glasses. “I can’t say enough about LensCrafters and its volunteers for providing such a wonderful service for our students,” she said. According to LensCrafters’ Web site, its two vision vans have given the gift of sight to some 125,000 North American children since 1995. Lens technician Sukarno Camanto prepares glasses for some of the children who received them from LensCrafters. It’s part of the company’s gift of sight program.

The transsexual serial bank robber on Tuesday pleaded guilty to 27 holdups, though she’s ad- mitted to others, that netted $80,000. The plea con- cludes a bizarre chapter in Canadian crime history. Throughout her run from the law, Christine White, 52, left police in 20 jurisdic- tions, including Durham Region, perplexed. Police were given con- flicting descriptions of the sickly looking suspect with blond hair, sunken eyes and peculiar traits; some wit- nesses described a feminine man, others portrayed the robber as a woman with masculine features. It was a case of he-said, she-said; truth be told, none of the accounts were inac- curate. Ms. White was born a male, Anatoli Ivan Misura, a divorced one-time con- struction manager original- ly from Quebec, her lawyer John Gale said. While in his 40s, Mr. Misura underwent sex- change procedures and by the mid-1990s, the gender transformation was com- pleted, Mr. Gale said. Under her new identity, Ms. White tried to find work, but found “no one would hire her,” Mr. Gale said. Required by law to disclose her background on her resume, Ms. White is convinced she was turned away by prospective em- ployers on the grounds of “transgender” discrimina- tion, the lawyer said. Feeling shunned by soci- ety, the college-educated Ms. White turned to robbing banks to support herself. “She couldn’t get a job and didn’t qualify for social assistance. She embarked on robbery because she felt she didn’t have any choice. She had to feed herself, pay for shelter,” said Mr. Gale, based in Kingston. On May 20, 1997, Ms. White began a life of crime, robbing a Bank of Montreal in Edmonton, and netting $1,790. Over the next 18 months Ms. White staged heists in more than 20 municipalities across Canada, including Calgary, Vancouver, Mon- treal, Toronto, London, Mississauga, Barrie, Brampton, Ajax and Whit- by. On Tuesday, Ms. White entered a “global” guilty plea to 38 charges, 27 counts of robbery and 11 counts of using an imitation firearm and wearing a dis- guise during a crime. Court heard Ms. White meticulously planned the holdups: she was selective in the banks she robbed, mapped out escape routes, scouted the distance from the nearest police station and estimated police re- sponse times. Ms. White was a master of disguise, dressing as a man wearing glasses and hats, leading to her being tagged “Bonnie and Clyde rolled into one.” She would pass notes to tellers demanding money and ‘NO DYE BOMBS,’ (cash bundles containing exploding dye packs) and flash a handgun, actually a starters’ pistol, to get her point across, court heard. In several heists, includ- ing one in Whitby, Ms. White left behind a bogus bomb she rigged with a kitchen timer to create chaos and assist with her es- cape. She made off riding a children’s bicycle to a parked getaway car. Ms. White hit Durham Region on three separate occasions, robbing the same downtown Whitby Scotia- bank Sept. 26, 1997 for $2,443 and again Feb. 20, 1998 for another $2,000, court was told. And on Aug. 5, 1998 she hauled a hefty $6,800 from a Bank of Montreal on Westney Road North in Ajax. The law finally caught up with Ms. White on Nov. 18, 1998 when she crashed her car while being pursued by police from a Belleville bank. Only then did police fi- nally unravel the gender mystery. During the sentencing hearing, which continues June 5, Assistant Crown At- torney Megan Allan urged Mr. Justice Edwin Minden to impose a prison sentence of 13 to 15 years for Ms. White’s transgressions, pointing to the planning, fear and potential for vio- lence involved in the stick- ups. “This was a well- thought-out process,” she said, adding the robberies escalated in boldness. “Each and every one of those 27 bank tellers thought they were looking at a real weapon,” including one victim who was preg- nant, Ms. Allan said. The defence noted Ms. White does not fit the typi- cal bank robber profile. She has no substance abuse problems, nor a prior crimi- nal past, court heard. “This lady is bright, de- termined and wants nothing other than to be accepted (by society) and get a regu- lar job,” Mr. Gale told Judge Minden. Court heard that after the first 11 holdups, in October and November of 1997, Ms. White took a break from bank robbing to complete a course in computer design. She sent out resumes in hopes of landing legitimate work. By Dec. 2, 1997 the Uni- sex Bandit was back rob- bing banks, court heard. Court was told Ms. White spent the past 42 months in custody in segre- gation units because of risks of being attacked by other female inmates. For the past 10 months she has been confined to an eight-by-four foot cell at the Whitby Jail that her lawyer described as a windowless “dungeon.” Mr. Gale urged the judge to consider the “hard time” she has already done and impose a sentence of seven or eight years, less the time served. Court heard Ms. White plans to write an autobiog- raphy. And, in a 1999 interview with a national newspaper, an article filed as evidence by the Crown, Ms. White offered “Unisex Robber Tips” to holding up banks and talked about hitting the talk-show circuit when re- leased from prison.

But, by Day 2, enthusiasm rose with the sun and this core group of youths would take away an enriched understanding of leadership prac- tices intended to encourage racial, religious and cultural awareness within their own schools. “It’s been a very deep learning experience,” said Tessa Santoni, of Sinclair Secondary School in Whit- by. “I’ve done more bonding in two days than in a whole year at school. It’s such a nice chance to get to know people on a higher level.” “It was raining when we got here and I didn’t want to be here,” admit- ted Navjeet Boparai of Dunbarton High School. “I was scared, but I got so much encouragement, it was wonderful.” Ten high schools in Durham Re- gion were represented at the recent camp. Senior students were selected by teachers based on academic standing, leadership and interper- sonal skills, as well as an interest in social justice and a concern for oth- ers. Kyle Martin of Uxbridge Sec- ondary School was pleasantly sur- prised. “It’s not just racist-oriented, but nature-oriented as well. It’s much more than what I expected.” The original ‘anti-racist leader- ship training camp’ program was initiated in 1993 and student partic- ipants came up with the STAR acronym — students together against racism. Now going into its 10th year, 1,200 students have ben- efited from the training and a net- work of associated programs has branched out, touching all levels from Grade 4 to 12. “This program has become a sig- nificant part of the Durham board,” said Lewis Williams, ethnocultural equity and race relations officer. “We’re empowering students and teachers to make a difference.” STAR programs were recently introduced to target students in Grade 4 to 6. In turn, the junior stu- dents are creating plays dealing with the concerns of discrimination, prej- udice and bullying to present to pri- mary students in Grade 1 to 3. Three years ago, members of the organizing committee decided to train senior students to become counsellors at the five-day STAR camp held each fall at the Ontario Education Leadership Centre on the shores of Lake Couchiching. Senior students, having received certifica- tion, help to facilitate activities, pro- vide additional supervision and be- come role models for the younger students. The training is intense, in- volving confidence-building, trust, dramatic role-playing and strategies to motivate others. “Drama naturally lends itself to anti-racial issues, allowing students to empathize through someone else’s eyes,” Mr. Williams said. In the afternoon of Day 2, the se- nior students were divided into two distinct cultures. One was described as a matriarchal society that was personally driven and communicat- ed through touching and talking. The second was a trading nation, without a verbal language, that ex- changed cards as its official code. Visitors were sent into each society and asked to describe how they felt. Words like alienated, excluded, rude and impolite came up in the debrief- ing session, suggesting how a new person at school may feel due to an inherent lack of understanding of that newcomer’s religion or culture. Nicole Daley of Uxbridge Sec- ondary School looked forward to the evening session where partici- pants shared a personal object asso- ciated with their heritage. “I’ve learned how to deal with discrimination and prejudice,” she said. “I would like to make my school more multicultural.” Jamie Bishop, of Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, has been associated with STAR for five years and is now a student represen- tative on the organizing committee for the senior STAR program and STAR camp. “STAR has played a big part in my own development,” said Mr. Bishop. “I’ve learned a lot about myself, as well as others.” Mr. Bishop presents workshops on how to develop activities and presentations for elementary stu- dents and discusses the role of the senior student counsellor. All teachers and facilitators for the STAR program donate their time and are personally committed. “You’ve been given a privilege, and you now have a responsibility,” said Rose Cowan, teacher and facilitator for STAR. The STAR program, offered by the Durham District School Board, has been highly recognized. Most recently, it was a nominee in 2001 for the Award of Excellence from the Canadian Race Relations Foun- dation. Students pay close attention during one of the STAR leadership camp work sessions.

Umbrellas and coats provided a barrier to the chilly and windy weather as the duo took in the sights. Food warning released over pasta salad DURHAM —Durham residents should be on the alert for signs of shigella infection, a form of food poi- soning that can be spread person-to- person. On May 18, the Canadian Food In- spection Agency (CFIA) issued a warning to the public not to consume ‘Greek-style pasta salad’ made by Tiffany Gate Foods of Toronto with dates of May 2 to 18. The product may be contaminated with shigella. The infection can cause diarrhea that may be bloody, along with ab- dominal cramps, fever, nausea and vomiting. The illness can last four to 14 days and be more severe in the very young, elderly or those with a compromised immune system. The Durham Region Health De- partment is urging anyone who may have eaten the pasta salad to seek medical attention and ask for a stool sample to be taken for laboratory testing. For more information, call the health department at 1-800-841- 2729, ext. 2188 or 905-723-8521. Additional information on the salad recall can be obtained by calling the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342.

Just Add Water Many of us wish we had the time and energy to go to the gym every day, but realis- tically there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Even when you get there it’s usually so crowded you spend more time waiting then actually working out. Bryce Reiter, Pool Specialist at Diplomat Pools and Spas and a graduate of Kinesiology states that swim- ming is the best and least stressful form of exercise there is. He says aquatic exercise covers all the bases when it comes to physical fitness including improved body composition, greater joint and muscle flexibility, improved cardio-respiratory performance and increased muscular strength and endurance. Aquatic exercises, combined with deep rhyth- mic breathing, clear your mind and calm you down, helping your heart to operate more efficiently, lowering your blood pressure and increasing the flow of oxygen throughout the body. What’s good for the body is also good for mind. Swimming pool and hot tub owners repeatedly cited physical and mental benefits from owning a pool or hot tub. Whatever your reasons for purchasing a pool or spa, whether it’s for relaxation or to increase quality time with friends and family, you can be sure that the benefits are numerous. Visit Diplomat Pools and Spas located at 637 Kingston Rd., Pickering and spend time with the friend- liest most informative staff around.

Style is important. Many new parents choose to "theme" the baby’s first room, and putting it all together is easy! The best space is a room where you and your baby can feel soothed by warmth and comfortable with the wall colour. Wallpaper will give the room this sense of com- fort and warmth. Once you have addressed the safety issues of the nursery (outlets, lighting, furniture placement) you can focus on decorating the baby’s space. Visit your local decorating cen- ter and ask to see the latest wall- paper sample books for babies and children. Not only will you find wallpaper and borders in these books, but also co-ordinat- ed fabrics that are also available. Designs for babies are avail- able in beautiful sage greens and soft yellows, sometimes accent- ed with blues and pinks, There are also choices in the intensity of the colour. Primary colours or pastels in addition to contempo- rary and traditional colour combina- tions are also available. Consider choices that will grow with the newborn, like a sculptured edge border to add dimension to the design. Growth chart borders are also a popular choice,especially the themes that include teddy bears, both for girls and boys. The babies will be captivated and stimulated by the shapes and colours. There are also wide-width borders (20"-27" wide) that are avail- able for decorating your baby’s nurs- ery. What impact life-sized scenes (from your baby’s point of view) would make on their growing minds and imaginations! Designs for babies are available in beautiful sage greens and soft yel- lows, sometimes accent- ed with blues and pinks, There are also choices in the intensity of the colour.

The Durham Region Health De- partment and the Adventure on Wheels Coalition is offering a free community event June 1, designed to raise awareness of the proper and safe use of bicycles, in-line skates, skateboards and scooters, while also encouraging having fun. Residents are invited to bring their helmets, wheels and safety gear down to Rotary Park in Ajax, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Our goal is to ensure that by the end of the tour, participants will be equipped with safety information to take home and a solid understanding of recreational riding and safety,” ex- plained Sheri Devereaux, a Durham Region public health nurse. Children ages five to 18 can sign up for an event passport that will allow them to tour a number of fun and interactive activities. Participants must wear proper safety equipment. According to Safe Kids Canada, a properly fitted and correctly worn helmet reduces the risk of serious head or brain injuries by up to 88 per cent. “As public health professionals, we repeatedly see devastating cases of head injuries and other injuries caused by falls that are entirely pre- ventable by wearing proper equip- ment and following some basic rules,” she said. “With some direc- tion and instruction, infused with fun activities, children can learn to ride responsibly and safely.” There will also be live music, in- flatable games, refreshments and face painting. Participants will have a chance to win one of two mountain bikes, donated by Durham Region Tim Hortons franchise owners. For more information, call the health department at 1-800-841- 2729, ext. 3143. Stress help for those with Parkinson’s DURHAM —Stress management is the topic of the next meeting of the Parkinson Society’s Durham support group.

Dr. Earle will discuss stress man- agement for those living with Parkin- son’s. Everyone is welcome. For more information, call 905- 619-1469. Oakridge Golf Club is the fourth qualifying site for the Fourth Annual Durham Region Hole in One Shootout. Oakridge, a beautiful scenic pub- lic course, only minutes away from Port Perry, Uxbridge and Whitby/Ajax offers 18 holes of mag- nificent golf over 6400 yards of bent- grass fairways and manicured greens. The golfer will enjoy this challenging Par 71 course layout, with water on eight holes and numerous bunkers strategically located throughout this Thomas McBroom designed layout. Practice or "Warming-Up" at Oakridge is now most enjoyable with our new indoor practice facility – Warren’s Glen now open 12 months of the year! The "Glen" provides the practicing golfer with 10 – automatic and 7 manual tee stations for hitting out to the 210-yard bentgrass fairway and three target greens. Inquire about our $1.25 warm-up special! Two fully stocked Pro Shops and the Oakridge Bar and Grill will round out a most enjoyable golf day! Golf Hint:General Manager Matt Anderson say that hitting into the green on #1 will require a gently hit, but accurate six iron stroke – as there is water on the left, rough on the right and sand behind your target! Matt says "Just visualize the water as grass, hit the ball 150 yards and put it in the cup!"

The students, ranging in age from 20 to 57, are on a seven- week Durham District School Board Continuing Education course to upgrade their skills. The building and maintenance course gives them up to three credits towards a Grade 12 diploma. After weeks of study in the E.A. Lovell School building at John and Centre streets in Oshawa, they were happy to get outside and put some of their newly-acquired abilities to the test. The benefi- ciary of their collective talents: Durham Deaf Services and its century-old Oshawa building. “We just finished a major renovation on the interior,” said Yvonne Hill, executive di- rector of Durham Deaf Ser- vices, which serves 300 to 500 individuals and their families throughout Durham Region. “Built in 1890, the building is always in need of ongoing maintenance because of its age.” So John Cooney’s students came to the rescue. “The students learn about electrical, plumbing, drywall, bricklaying, a little horticul- ture and general maintenance, like janitorial,” said Mr. Cooney, building and mainte- nance instructor. “What I’m trying to do is get them in a trade like plumbing, dry- walling or bricklaying. They spend time here and then go out on a co-op placement.” On May 17, it was outside work for the students. Clean- ing eavestroughs, sealing a deck, levelling the lawn, sow- ing grass seed and planting flowers were some of the chal- lenges at the King Street East building. “This kind of community service gives me an idea of how these students will do when they work in a different environment,” said Mr. Cooney. “It’s one of the best groups I’ve had.” Ms. Hill was grateful for the work. “We really appreciate Mr. Cooney’s program and his stu- dents’ help,” she said.

INSOMNIA Starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Hilary Swank Directed by Christopher Nolan ‘Insomnia’ is the story of Will Dormer (Al Paci- no), a veteran LAPD detec- tive who travels to a small Alaska town with his part- ner Hap (Martin Donovan) to investigate the disturb- ing murder of a 17-year-old girl. Under the glare of the region’s perpetual daylight, Dormer and Hap close in on the primary suspect, reclusive novelist Walter Finch (Robin Williams). During a tense stakeout on a rocky, fog-shrouded beach, Finch slips into the mist and out of Dormer’s grasp. As he makes his es- cape, shots ring out... and Hap is killed. As he struggles to cope with his sense of responsibility and remorse over his partner’s death, Dormer is forced into a psy- chological game of cat-and-mouse by the brilliantly malevolent Finch. The stakes escalate as Dormer contends with an unproven but perceptive local cop (Hilary Swank) and be- comes increas- ingly entangled in Finch’s web of manipulation. Unable to find respite from the relentless mid- night sun or his own distorted judgment, the dangerously sleep-deprived detective finds his stability gravely threat- ened. ENOUGH Starring Jen- nifer Lopez, Bill Campbell, Tessa Allen Directed by Michael Apted Working class waitress Slim (Jennifer Lopez) finds her life transformed when she marries wealthy contractor Mitch (Billy Campbell). She set- tles into an idyllic subur- ban life and seems to have everything she wants: lov- ing husband, beautiful home, and Gracie, an adorable 5-year-old daugh- ter. Her dream is shattered when she discovers her husband is anything but perfect. His abusive behaviour forces her to go on the run, eluding an increasingly ob- sessive Mitch and his lethal henchmen. Despite Slim’s efforts to make a new life, Mitch finds her and threatens her again. She puts Gracie in safekeeping, toughens her- self mentally and physical- ly and sets out to prove to Mitch she’s had ‘Enough.’ SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON Animated ‘Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron’ follows the ad- ventures of a wild and ram- bunctious mustang stallion as he journeys through the untamed American frontier. Encountering man for the first time, Spirit defies being broken, even as he develops a remarkable friendship with a young Lakota brave named Little Creek. The courageous young stallion also finds love with a beautiful paint mare named Rain on his way to becoming one of the great- est unsung heroes of the Old West.

Have you ever tried one of them? We are not only the QUEEN OF SOFT SERVE but we are also the KING OF ICE. I didn’t realize how extensive the selection was until I started to write this article and asked our Senior Manager Lisa to describe every variety to me. I’d never really tried them before but that has changed! Let me explain what each of these drinks is. They all have one thing in common ... SLUSH. This is what makes these drinks so unique and so icy refreshing. It’s a combination of finely crushed ice, a special blend of sugar and a rich Misty base. It’s the combination of our unique SLUSH with our huge selection of flavour ingredients that escalates the taste of this product to such incredible heights. As you can see DQ DOES NOT USE SIMPLE CRUSHED ICE IN IT’S ICED DRINKS BUT A SPECIAL BLEND THAT MAKES THEM TASTE EXTREMELY RICH. We are always so far from the ordinary at DQ. Let’s look at COOLERS and SLUSHES called Misty Coolers and Misty Slushes. The difference is that the MISTY COOLERS have real fruit in them like Strawberry, Cherry, Blueberry, Pineapple and Raspberry. A MISTY SLUSH has flavours like Misty Orange, Lemon Lime, Cherry, Grape, Strawberry Kiwi and Blue Raspberry. What a selection. I just finished a STRAWBERRY M I S T Y COOLER. How about a FREEZE? A freeze not only has slush and a variety of flavours BUT we mix in our world famous soft serve making it one of the smoothest iced drinks you will ever taste. The flavours? ANY SUNDAE FLAVOUR we have and ANY MISTY FLAVOUR we have. Oh Mama! Over 30 varieties. My favourite ... an ORANGE MISTY FREEZE. And now the cadillac of iced drinks our GLACIER SMOOTHIES. My favourite is the FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE. We start with our rich slush and spiral in our fresh DQ soft serve and then we pump in our newest topping called Chocolate Crackle Fudge. We blend it to a smooth consistency and top it with whipped cream. Other Smoothies include Strawberry Banana, Berry Cherry and an incredible Chocolate Mocha. See coupon.

The Dunbar- ton High School gradu- ate won the 100-metre crown in 10.29 seconds and the 200m in 20.52, which broke the previous school record of 20.54 set by Gary Minor in 1974. It was the first time since 1955 that a Cougars’athlete had won both sprint titles at the Pac 10 championships. It was also the first time since 1965 that a WSU ath- lete won the 100m title at the Pac 10 meet. “I was pretty much expecting this kind of result, so I’m not surprised, but it feels good to get it done,” Henry told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash- ington. And, capturing the titles in his last meet at his home track was something special for Henry, who’s likely headed to the NCAA outdoor championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana after posting pro- visional qualifying times in the 100m and 200m. He missed the automatic qualifying time in the 200 metres by a mere two-one hundredths of a second. “Some people think that nationals is more important, but this was important because it was at home and this was my final year. My first three years I struggled with injuries. I got fourth my sophomore year (in the 100m) and third last year. This win meant a lot to me. My start felt good. I kind of expected to be out there and I just tried to stay focused and not give up at the end,” said Henry in a story on the WSU athletic Web site. In addition, Henry also ran the second leg of the WSU men’s 4-x-100m relay team that finished second in an NCAA provisional qualifying time of 39.69 sec- onds. It was also a season-best time for the WSU foursome, which had to incorporate a new member into the team, owing to an injury to a regular member. What a capper for Henry! ANSON HENRY Runs to gold at Pac 10 meet.

All we have are cherished memories of times together and your devotion to your grandchildren - such a wonderful Grama. So many memories were yet to be made. You made such a difference in so many lives - especially mine. So many times your voice of reason on the phone gave me the courage to go on - follow my dreams. I could never find the words to Thank you for the sacrifices you made - the ones I know of, and the ones you never told me about. The countless times you put other’s needs before your own - a true friend. I have learned many things from you Mom - but this past year without you has taught me to make the best of each day, for if you don’t you’ll never get it back! We all miss you and though you are not here with us, you are with your beloved Jimmy. Your generous nature and funny antics live on. Missed, and always remembered with a smile by your daughter Kimberlee and your families. 258 In Memoriam 258 In Memoriam In Loving Memory of ALAN DUNNING - Age 37 taken from us suddenly from Canine Anaphlylaxis "Dog bite" on May 25th, 1995 "A TRIBUTE OF LOVE" Dear Lord put your arms around him And give him a great big hug Tell him its from his Mum And give him all my love It only takes a little space To write how much I miss you But "Al" it will take the rest of my life To forget the day I lost you.

CASCAR has announced some changes for the upcoming Super,Western and Sports Series seasons –– from new sponsorship deals to the addition of a couple of new rac- ing events. During a recent news conference at Mo- sport International Speedway, CASCAR President Tony Novotny described 2001 as a “fine example of excellent racing provid- ed by the competitors” that produced “pos- itive growth” among race fans and spon- sors. As a result, two non-automotive spon- sors, Sony Playstation 2 and United Food and Commercial Workers, have jumped on board this season, to add to the mix of auto- motive sponsors that dominate CASCAR, like Canadian Tire and Snap On Tools. As well, the three series’ have been “packaged together” Novotny said, to give the sponsors “total coverage” if they wish to sponsor cars in each of the series’ 12 races over the course of the season. The changes in sponsorship are just one aspect of the overhaul CASCAR has gone through in the off-season. The Super Series will also be returning to the Molson Indy events in Toronto and Vancouver, Novotny said. In addition, the Super Series will make two pit stops at Mosport, June 15-16 on the road course and June 22 on the oval. On June 30th, CASCAR will be hosting an event at Cayuga Speedway, in Ayr, Ont., in which some of the top drivers in the U.S.- based NASCAR series, like Johnny Benson, Dave Blaney, Matt Kenseth, Ken Schrader and Tony Stewart, will battle head-to-head with the top drivers in CASCAR. CASCAR will also have merchandise trailers travelling to every Super Series event this season, to give the fans the op- portunity to purchase clothing and col- lectibles of their favourite drivers.Hours: Monday-Wednesday 10-6, Thursday -Friday 10-8, Saturday 10-5, Sunday 12-5 Bayly St. We Are Here 1020 Brock Rd.
