A jury was told Carlos Almeida and his three-year-old son went to the Durham Centre shopping plaza with Mr. Poland and his disabled daughter the night of June 7, 2001 on the premise his friend had “car problems”. When they pulled up beside the car in the parking lot at Hwy. 2 and Harwood Avenue, Mr. Poland re- vealed the startling truth. “He grabs me by the arm and told me he did it,” Mr. Almeida quoted Mr. Poland. “I said, ‘Did what?’” “He said he killed Andrea.” Mr. Almeida was testifying Wednesday at the Superior Court of Justice trial of Mr. Poland, who has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. The 38-year-old father of three is accused of killing his common-law spouse Andrea Schneider, 37, in the garage of their Perfitt Crescent home. Mr. Poland stayed home to care for the couple’s three children, while Ms. Schneider worked as a secretary at the Royal Ontario Mu- seum. On June 7, Mr. Almeida said he was at his Toronto home with his son, who had strep throat, when Mr. Poland unexpectedly showed up in a minivan with his daughter. He claimed his car had broken down and he needed help. Mr. Almeida re- luctantly agreed.

THAT SIMPLE!You C an Wi n!You C an Wi n!You C an Wi n!Pontiac A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 14,2002 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Public school board trustees may approve next year’s budget at Monday night’s meeting, relying on reserves to cover a shortfall that has grown to roughly $4.6 million. Ron Trbovich, the Durham District School Board’s business superintendent, in an inter- view after Tuesday’s budget meeting said doing so would leave the board with about $1.5 million in discretionary reserves. But after deputations from special-educa- tion advocates Tuesday night, calling for more money for the program, he suggested the board might lean even more heavily on re- serves. “My sense is it’s not going to be $4.6 mil- lion; it’s going to be more than that,” said Mr. Trbovich. He told trustees the shortfall had grown be- cause the board had to add four vice-principal positions due to growth and make other staffing adjustments. Local parent Sherri Upton, represent- ing the Autism Society of Ontario (ASO), Durham Region branch, urged trustees to use any available reserve funds “to bridge the gap for this school year. “The parents of ASO want to let this board know that any cuts to special-edu- cation funding are completely unaccept- able, and we will not lay down and allow this to happen for yet another year. This is the year to make the morally right de- cision and increase the level of funding to meet the actual needs of your stu- dents, as you are obligated to do so by law. Vote no to special-education cuts and give us back the supports and services we need.” Ms. Upton and Jutta Genova, representing the Learning Disabilities Association of On- tario, said they are urging parents to write their MPPs to press for the funding. Whitby parent Kathy Galluzzo also called on trustees to “say no to cuts in special education. “Give our students the re- sources, services and supports they need to reach their full poten- tial. Let’s take the first step in a student-first concept. Our children deserve nothing less.” Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said beyond continued advocacy for more money for special educa- tion, there is little else parents and the board can do. “We have to keep going, right, because if you stop going, they stop listening,” she said in an interview. “I can really appreciate what the parents are saying; I’m a special-education parent.” Asked what had changed since last year, when special-education parents also called for more support and no further cuts, Trustee Roy said the board’s ability to subsidize special ed- ucation above provincial grants is weakened as reserves dwindle. And parents have real- ized “that it is not exactly the board that has the purse strings,” she said. Mr. Trbovich said he would have a report for trustees Monday following the provincial budget.

He just wanted me to get rid of her body and the car.” Mr. Almeida thought “it was some kind of joke” at first. When he realized Mr. Poland was serious, he said he was shocked and afraid. “I feared for my life... I re- ally didn’t know what to do... It’s way out of my league,” said Mr. Almeida, who ac- knowledged having a lengthy criminal record and credited Mr. Poland with helping him turn his life around. Mr. Almeida said he agreed to dispose of Ms. Schneider’s body and told Mr. Poland he would wait till nightfall. After handing Mr. Almeida the keys to the Olds and $80 cash, Mr. Poland drove away in his van with his daughter, Mr. Almeida testified. Mr. Almeida walked to a pet store, phoned his brother and then police. Durham Regional Police officers testified they met Mr. Almeida at the plaza just after 8:30 p.m. They received the keys to the car and a roll of four $20 bills. One of the bills appeared to be stained with blood, an officer said. When police opened the trunk of the blue, four-door Oldsmobile they found Ms. Schneider’s body wrapped in a blanket, with an axe placed on top. Court heard yesterday she suffered three major wounds to the head — two consistent with being hit with a heavy object such as an axe, said Dr. Nihad Ali-Ridha, a foren- sic pathologist at Lakeridge Health Oshawa who con- ducted the autopsy. One of the injuries, a semi-circular laceration to Ms. Schneider’s forehead, is consistent with her being struck at an angle by the sharp edge of “an axe... (or) any heavy object with a sharp edge,” testified Dr. Ali-Ridha. That injury would have caused tremendous bleeding and likely death.There was a second wound in the shape of an H on top of Ms. Schnei- der’s head, a “direct blow” that fractured her skull, Dr. Ali-Ridha said. That injury could have been inflicted with the blunt edge of an axe or another heavy object, he said. A third blow to the face smashed Ms. Schneider’s right eye socket, nasal bone and the base of her skull. MURDER from page 1 allow a large townhouse devel- opment on the existing marina lands at the south end of Liver- pool Road. The hearing is expected to take two weeks. OMB hearing chairman Wil- son Lee said public deputations will be heard Monday, June 17 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Pickering central library branch, One The Esplanade. But, he reminded the City solicitor he should organize the public’s efforts to make sure their comments are succinct. “This is not the same as a council meeting,” explained Mr. Lee. “It’s about the quality of the evidence not the quantity. Five- hundred people repeating the same evidence is not any differ- ent from one person. It should be done as simply and briefly as possible.” Mr. Lee also said the OMB is not a developer and wants to avoid a situation with the public where they wind up treating the board as such. He said City solicitor An- drew Biggart should hold the responsibility for ensuring “sober-minded and reasonable” comments come from the depu- tations. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said he would be sending a letter out to hundreds of area residents who have spo- ken at the different discussions and meetings regarding water- front redevelopment over the last couple of years. He said he hoped to arrange for seven to 10 people to speak. “This is their last and final chance to address how develop- ment will unfold on our water- front,” he said.

Testifying on behalf of the Pick- ering Harbour Company (PHC), planner David Matthews also said he believes the PHC marina redevel- opment plan represents “good” planning. “It’s my opinion that the plan is practical, implementable and is in the overall public interest,” he said. The PHC wants to build 66 townhouses on the marina lands at the south end of Liverpool Road. Twenty-six would front Liverpool and eight of those would include commercially convertible ground floors to accommodate shops, restaurants and home offices. The existing marina would continue to operate on the south end of the PHC property, but boat storage and main- tenance would move across Liver- pool to the existing empty lot that formerly housed the Coolwater Farms fish plant. The City wants only 26 homes built in total, all fronting Liverpool and commercially convertible. Plus, it wants the marina to remain as it is as part of a ‘Great Lakes nautical village’ to be created in the area. The dispute led the parties to the OMB hearing, which began Mon- day. “Staff supported the Pickering Harbour Company’s plan virtually from the outset,”said Mr. Matthews, explaining the plan fits in with what Pickering staff had recommended in its reports to council and as a part of the ‘Liverpool Road South detailed review’, which set out guidelines for development in the area. In fact, Mr. Matthews pointed out the review it- self included allowing residential development on the north end of the marina lands before that section of the report was ordered deleted by Pickering council. He testified the 40 townhouses being disputed would take up only 1.2 hectares or six per cent of the 19.8 hectares of total waterfront land in the area. He added that fits in with the City’s aim of making recreational and marina uses predominant in the area. As testimony began Monday, an- other PHC witness, Mississauga ar- chitect Michael Spaziani, explained the harbour company wants to make only eight of the townhomes on Liverpool commercially convertible because of cost constraints in con- structing up to building codes and required sizes. Mr. Spaziani showed diagrams and pictures of the plan to turn the north end of the marina lands into a townhouse development, complete with vistas and views of the bay, and a public promenade leading to more public space on the water’s edge. He explained how the existing marina would remain in operation through a redesign plan including the construction of a new laneway allowing boats to be transferred from the water to the Coolwater Farms property and providing car access to the docks. He also said a new building to house marina operations on the south end of the lands would be constructed along with retail kiosks for both the public and marina area along the water’s edge. While he went on to explain the features of the development that would be designed to fit in with the City’s plan for a ‘nautical village’, including a mix of private and pub- lic space, a seemingly frustrated OMB hearing chairman Wilson Lee questioned why the OMB was even called in. “At some time somebody’s going to have to explain to this panel just exactly what is the issue here, because it looks like both sides are in agreement,” he said. But, City solicitor Andrew Big- gart quickly explained the use of the marina lands for a housing develop- ment is not consistent with the City’s zoning and its vision for the area. Cross-examination of Mr. Matthews’ testimony and the City’s case continued throughout the rest of the week. The hearing is expect- ed to last two weeks. Stay out of trouble and keep your nose clean and there’s no reason for you to have any trouble with the law, right? There’s no reason for you to worry about how the cops do their job. After all, when they take an interest, somebody has probably done some- thing suspicious or they’ve given a cop some lip. They won’t invade your privacy. You won’t be thrown in jail. And if you were it would just be a case of mistaken identity. And anyway, you can make your call to a lawyer, clear up the confusion and you’re on your way home. And they aren’t going to pick on you just because you belong to a certain club or because your name came up on some damned list. Right? Wrong! The anti-terrorist law passed by Parliament could lead to ex- actly that kind of persecution of an in- nocent person, perhaps you or your son or daughter. It happened back in October 1970 when the War Measures Act gave police extraordinary powers. People were arrested without formal charge. Loved ones didn’t even know why they had disappeared or where they had gone. Many Canadians thought it was a good idea to ‘get tough’with the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) terror- ists. There had been mailbox bomb- ings and then the kidnapping of British diplomat James Cross and the murder of Quebec cabinet minister Pierre LaPorte. But, when everyone is angry or frightened that is exactly when a civil society needs to take a rational ap- proach, when Parliament and citizens need to use their best judgment. It turned out normal police powers were enough to deal with the ‘apprehended insurrection.’ Key cells of the FLQ were discovered, the perpetrators charged and sentenced. The police don’t need the awe- some powers of the recently passed anti-terrorist law. It lumps public demonstration and dissent with terror- ism. It condemns by association. It permits the invasion of your privacy by wiretap and access to your e-mails. You can be thrown into jail without charge. Not a problem? You’d just ex- plain they got the wrong guy right? Except who knows when they might get around to realizing there was no good reason to throw you in a cell? And would your neighbours assume where there’s smoke, there’s fire? Would your reputation survive the stigma? The threat won’t go away until the law is amended, which might not happen until it’s challenged at the Supreme Court. Your civil liberties are at risk. Let your MP know you don’t like the anti- terrorist law. It undermines our free- doms and copies the terrorists’ con- tempt for due process and the rule of law.

This was a very good letter and makes a number of excellent points. However, Bonnie Littley, when talking about Altona Forest, states “there is no public access on the west side.” This is an error. There is an open gate on the west side off Chickadee Court. This access point leads to one of the trails in the Altona For- est. At this time the trail is still under de- velopment and therefore does not have all the markings in place. In the future there will be another en- trance on the west side across from Pine Grove Avenue. The date for this second entrance has not been announced.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Regional councillors deserve kudos should they follow through July 10 on a committee recommendation to give the Regional Cancer Care Centre $7.5 million. The badly-needed public money will go a long way toward get- ting the centre, to be built at the site of Lakeridge Health Oshawa, up and running within a few years. The centre will serve an area beyond Durham’s borders though it’s clear the vast majority of its patients will come from within the region. Thus, a regional contribution to a major health project that will touch nearly all our lives is eminently sensible. While Lakeridge Health Corporation, which is to run the cen- tre with Cancer Care Ontario, is no doubt thrilled with the prospect of the generous donation, officials must be confused about the logic councillors have used in making their recommen- dation. Less than two years ago, councillors were vehement in their denunciation of a Lakeridge Health-Rouge Valley proposal that would have seen the Region contribute $100 million over nearly a decade to an ambitious $409-million plan to revamp and expand six hospital sites across Durham. That plan included a $205-million contribution from the Province, plus approximately $100 million from all Durham’s hospital foundations combined and the $100 million from the Region through property tax levies. At meeting after meeting, nearly all councillors claimed health care was strictly a provincial responsibility and vowed the Region would offer absolutely no funding toward capital costs for hospi- tals. It’s difficult to see a clear difference between contributing to the building of a cancer centre and the building of a hospital. If both are desperately needed, how can one be chosen over anoth- er? As regional finance chairman and Ajax Councillor Jim Mc- Master asked, “How do I tell my hospital, ‘We’re going to give money to the cancer centre but we don’t have any money for you?’” The cancer centre is receiving 70 per cent funding support from the Province and, already, $15 million of the needed $30 million in public contributions is in place. The Region’s $7.5-mil- lion pledge, 25 per cent of the public requirement, would bring the campaign to $22.5 million or just $7.5 million shy of the total re- quired. Council will take the donation out of the $27-million rate stabilization fund over a three-year period so no new tax levy will be required. While the cancer centre is integral to health care in Durham, so too is the need for vastly expanded and improved hospital facili- ties. Unless regional councillors begin to take seriously the need for some municipal government support of hospital expansion, terribly overcrowded facilities will be the prescription for our fu- ture population.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION,June 14,2002 PAGE 9 A/P A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 14, 2002 BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM — “We all come from somewhere, unless you’re an aboriginal,” is how Willard Williamson puts it. Canada is a nation of immi- grants. Some are the first of their family to come here while others can trace their roots back genera- tions. Either way, there’s a link to another place. That link to somewhere else is important. It’s a path to the past, to a heritage or culture that helped form people now living here. Local- ly, that path can be travelled through the many and varied clubs, organi- zations or alliances of different cul- tures. Ethnic clubs have been a part of the landscape for years. The Ukrain- ian Cultural Centre Dnipro goes back to the 1950s. Others predate it. Dnipro, by the way, is the main river running through the Ukraine, so “when immigrants came to Canada, they took a familiar name, so they named the hall after it,” says Marvin Matusiak. The Hispanic-Canadian Alliance of Durham was founded on Nov. 30, 1996 to bring those of Latin Ameri- can heritage together. The Pickering Carib-Canadian Cultural Associa- tion (PCCCA), of which Mr. Williamson is a member, has been around for more than 20 years. While they may represent differ- ent ethnic communities, all have one thing in common — bringing people together. Lucy King and her husband Ignacio Navarro were two of the founding members of the Hispanic alliance. Mr. Navarro is from Chile and Ms. King is from Peru. They met in Toronto. The alliance was born because of a need in the community, Ms. King says. “When we came here, we real- ized at first there were no other Spanish-speaking people around here. As we got to know people, we found people here” who could speak Spanish. “There was nobody to unite them,” she adds. Not all the members are from the same country, but the group “keeps them all together. We look for things we have in common, like the cul- ture. There are similarities. The one big thing is the language.” Asked if the group is important, Ms. King says, “It is important, I find. The Spanish culture is based on a lot of music, laughing, and jokes. It’s family-oriented and there are certain kinds of food, colours and movements.” When different cultures get to- gether, one culture can get lost and that’s what she found in Canada. “When we mix with other cul- tures, we hide it. It’s not as open. After a while, something is missing there,” she says. Eventually, there was a need to get in touch with their own culture, she says. “It makes us happy. We can be- come depressed, melancholy. This is good for the soul,” Ms. King states. “We love this country. It’s a great country. There are a lot of op- portunities here, but this is our roots. It’s why we behave, why we do the things we do.” She didn’t see snow until she came to Canada and “I still don’t like the snow.” One person told her “In order to love the snow, you have to go out in winter and try sports; I did it and I enjoyed it.” The main difficulty for a Hispan- ic person coming to Canada is the language barrier. “I found when I came I had dif- ficulty, of course, communicating. Of course, I became very dependent on my relatives. I was 21 when I came here. I felt like a little child again,” she says. “When I learned English, I realized how important it is to have this help, with other people, other organiza- tions.” Spanish culture is “a very inclu- sive society. I’m coming from a family-oriented society.”Some arriving here, though, have no help. “It’s harder for them. They don’t know anybody and they have no support. They know they have to work to learn the language,” she says. Dnipro, naturally, provides sup- port for Ukrainians. Work on building the hall began in 1952 and it opened in 1954. Mr. Matusiak has been a member since 1959 when he was five years old. “That’s why the hall was built, so the Ukrainian community has somewhere to go,” he says. He notes at the time, different ethnic communities tended to stay together. “Unfortunately, in the past 10 years, our community has dwin- dled. We’re a bedroom community of Toronto and a lot moved into Toronto to avoid the commute,” he notes. Despite that, there are still about 300 members, including approxi- mately 50 youths. One of the challenges for the centre is attracting more young members, he says, noting at one time there were about 250. That is a concern, he says. “It is, but there are other things we do,” pointing to the centre’s dance troupe, which has performed across southern Ontario and the northern United States. “The troupe has been together, at least, since the conception of the youth organization in the Oshawa area,” Mr. Matu- siak adds. Dancing is a central part of the Ukrainian culture, pointing to the movie ‘Fiddler on the Roof’. “Guys get to drinking, partying and dancing.” At a Ukrainian wedding, much to the consternation of the musi- cians, guys will start competing against each other on the dance floor, as will the women. Keeping the club membership up is “important. It’s very important and we want to maintain that.” Since the Ukraine gained its freedom from the former Soviet Union in 1992, immigration has slowed considerably. “Most of those here are first gen- eration. I was born here,” Mr. Matu- siak says. But, in western Canada, where many Ukrainians were en- ticed by the government to help populate the west, there are third and fourth generation families. “Here, the first generation is just starting to have a second genera- tion,” he notes. As soon as freedom came to the Ukraine, he took his father back. It was the first time he’d been back in 50 years. His father escaped during the war, when he was 14, and it was his first chance to go back. “He thoroughly enjoyed it.” The club is also an active partic- ipant in Oshawa’s Fiesta Week ac- tivities. The club received a Folk Arts Award as it’s been a part of Fi- esta Week since its inception, when it was held in Alexandra Park next to the hospital. In fact, because the club’s men’s choir was a perennial winner of the choir competition, the club was given the trophy. “No one could beat them,” he says. Being part of the community is one of the prime motivators for the PCCCA, Mr. Williamson says. “Different cultures come togeth- er, we’re not all from the same country. We’re from all over the place,” he notes. “The club is open and anyone can be a member of the club as long as they want to do community work. “Whatever is happening in the community, we try to put our two cents in. We’re well recognized by the community, working closely with them on cultural activities.” Paying members total between 40 and 50. Like other groups, the PCCCA has difficulty attracting a younger crowd. “Young people aren’t as focused on clubs as the older generations,” he points out. Founding PCCCA members Sarah McDonald and Chris Cartwright are “always there”. Ms. McDonald is a vice-princi- pal at Pickering High School and was also instrumental in having an assistive housing project built in Pickering. “An ethnic organization, we were the ones responsible for hav- ing that building built there. We worked for years to have it built,” Mr. Williamson points out with pride. Having the organization is “extremely important for the simple reason a lot of us, we’re labelled ethnic people. We need time to be part of the community.” It’s important to be in touch with the larger community, he says, which the group helps with. “We’re not just a set of individuals out there. We’re part of the community. It’s not just the Caribbean. It’s Canada.” There’s a tendency to “pi- geonhole people into one little area. We’re broad based,” Mr. Williamson adds. “That’s impor- tant and we try to do it, but it’s not the only thing. We show them, ex- pose them to whatever culture we’re from.” ‘‘GG oo oo dd ffoo rr tthh ee ssoo uu ll ’’ Zackary Holub, 11, and 10-year-old Corbin Charysz, right, step up the pace during Ukrainian dance classes at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre Dnipro.

FINAL WEEKE N D ! 2000 Young Singers of Ajax celebrate a perfect 10 Performances around the world, new CD have highlighted group’s first decade BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —With a busy few months behind them and plen- ty of more performances ahead, The Young Singers choir took a bit of a break last weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary. More than 700 people joined the Ajax group for a special concert at the Car- ruthers Creek Community Church in Ajax. Founded in 1992, The Young Singers is a community choir for children eight and up that combines the discipline of learning with the joy of singing and the art of performing. “The concert went very well. We were very excited,” said Anna Lynn Murphy, mu- sical director. Ms. Murphy added it was an opportunity to reflect on past accomplishments, and to show former members the choir’s current level of excel- lence. The community-based choir, which currently boasts more than 100 members, has performed around the world, as well as across Canada for several special events, includ- ing with Donny Osmond in the Toronto production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The Young Singers, which is currently holding auditions for the director’s choir (tour- ing group), and Random Notes (teenage singers), is looking at several different events for the year to come. The group is currently working on a theatre project, ‘Enchanted Forest’, the music for which is composed by R. Murray Schafer. “Along with our annual Christmas concert, we’re also looking into festivals, as well as the possibility of travelling in the near future... although we’re not sure if it will be in Europe or Canada,” said Ms. Murphy. In addition, members of The Young Singers recently re- leased their first CD, which Ms. Murphy admitted took about a year to complete. “We’re very pleased and excited with the final product. It was a great experience. It was a lot of hard work... but it was worth it.” Young Singer Danielle Johannes sings with a smile in preparation for the local choir’s 10th anniversary show held last weekend. The group has grown in size and renown in the last 10 years, with performances across Canada and around the world.

Treasures are often found among the waste of others DURHAM ––Garbage isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Oh, sure, there’s plenty of yucky guck, broken things and just plain un- wanted, unidentifiable stuff to be found in trash. But there are plenty of good, usable items that just need rescuing and a little tender care to be useful again. Years ago, when the City of Oshawa held twice-a-year collections of large junk, people could be seen travelling the streets at night, picking through the piles for those discarded treasures. That free supply has dried up but some peo- ple still have access to such garbage goodies. Rick Summers is one of them. He runs Garbage Removal Etc., an Os- hawa-based business that handles cleanup and disposal of items from homes and businesses, demolitions and more. In the years his business has been operating, he’s collected everything from pottery garden containers to an al- most new stove to a boat and trailer. Some stuff he keeps, some he sells and some he gives to less fortunate fam- ilies or charitable organizations. No matter where it ends up, it’s not in a dump and it’s getting a new life with an appreciative family. “The whole point of it is recycling,” he said. “The bottom line is it’s intend- ed for the garbage but it gets recycled. It helps out the environment when this stuff doesn’t go to the dump.” His business, which hires young of- fenders and youth associated with the Children’s Aid Society, will come in and clean up unwanted items from busi- nesses and homes. Landlords call him when a tenant skips out, leaving behind most possessions. Couples call him when they are moving into a smaller home and can’t take everything with them.

Or someone who can afford it just wants to get rid of an old couch or fridge or stove and get a new one. He goes all over Durham Re- gion and even further for his work. While much of the work is simply getting rid of garbage, he finds many items that are still usable, with some cleanup and elbow grease. Even the people who are paying him to take away the items are mindful of the continued worth of their old stuff. “People love it when you come and take their stuff away. I have people say ‘I hope you’re not tak- ing that to the dump.’” Mr. Summers’s two-car garage is filled almost to the brim with items he’s rescued from the trash heap. There’s a stack of old records sitting on a nice wooden table. There’s a harvest table that needs cleaning. There’s wicker lawn furniture. Mirrors. A black- board. An antique bureau and chair, both in need of some work. Old lamps. Even brand-new paint rollers that are still in their boxes. A stack of old doors, that need re- finishing. An air conditioner in al- most perfect condition. Children’s play equipment. Exercise equip- ment. He’s salvaged televisions that work, couches and chairs that need cleaning or upholstery re- pairs and even new items with sales tags still attached. He recently picked up a one- year-old stove that was missing the over-door window and didn’t fit in with a new décor. He got the glass replaced and a new stove out of it. “You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff people throw out,” he said.

As the baby boomer popula- tion ages, the percentage of seniors on the road is sure to increase even more. Thanks to several recent medical breakthroughs, seniors are enjoying longer, more inde- pendent and productive lives than ever — and continuing to drive. Driving means indepen- dence, and people who have driven for most of their lives want to keep that independence as long as possible, especially in sub- urban and rural areas where dri- ving is the only way to get around. However, despite modern medicine, certain conditions like hearing loss, reduced reaction time and impaired vision can make driving as an older adult more diffi- cult and haz- ardous. That’s why safety contin- ues to be one of the a main concerns when seniors slip behind the wheel. Many com- pensate for their limitations by dri- ving shorter dis- tances and avoid- ing night driving, busy highways and downtown areas. However, other safety precautions can be taken to ensure that a mature driver can continue to enjoy his or her freedom. Here are some tips from the Canada Safety Council. • Get regular vision and hearing exams. If necessary, be sure to wear eyeglasses and/or hearing aids. • Some medications can affect driving abilities For all your service needs. Don’t wait for the hot weather to have your air conditioning checked. Fuel Systems & Emissions Specialists Satisfaction Guaranteed should be used correctly. Be aware of any possible side effects. • Leave space cushions to the sides and behind the car as a safety precau- tion. • When planning trips, choose familiar routes and avoid dense and/or high- speed traffic. • Background noise should be kept at a minimum. Adjust radio volume, air conditioning and heater blowing units to their lowest settings. A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 14, 2002 NP0630302 Copyright 2002. Sears Canada Inc.

Pickering Kingston Rd.Brock Rd.Glenanna Rd.Pickering Town Centre 401 Glenanna Dental Centre Welcome to Glenanna Dental Group Ms. Dufour, you bake good cookies! Student earns silver in national high school competition BY AMMAR AQUIL Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING ––Winning silver in a national cooking competition is the way the cookie crumbled for Lauren Dufour. An OAC student at Pine Ridge Secondary School, Ms. Dufour recently went to the Canadian Skills Competition for baking, after placing first at both the Durham and On- tario Technological Skills competitions. At the nationals, her cook- ies placed second across the country. The competitions are held every year, and allow high school students to showcase their talents in a vast range of skills including auto service, carpentry, electronics, floristry and baking among many others. The national competitions were held in Vancouver this year. Ms. Dufour spent last se- mester in her co-operative ed- ucation program in her high school’s kitchen to prepare for the competition. “Fruit Flan, an occasion cake we had to bake and deco- rate, breads, rolls and pas- tries,” were some of the things baked in competition, says Ms. Dufour. “The last one (the Canadian Skills competition) we had to do cookies instead of pastries. “I’ve been baking since I was little, my grandma taught me, and in Grade 9 I figured this is what I want to do,” she said. Ms. Dufour has taken the baking courses since Grade 9. She was asked by Alfred Tan, her teacher of five years, to participate in skills competi- tion last year. “Mr. Tan asked me if I wanted to go in the competi- tion in Grade 12. I went to the Ontario (technical skills com- petition), but didn’t place,” Ms. Dufour said. “I started training three hours a day for this year’s competition in Feb- ruary, when my co-op class started.” Ms. Dufour says she plans to be a pastry chef and wants to own her own shop one day in the future. Come September, she’ll study in the pastry arts pro- gram at George Brown Col- lege in Toronto. “Practice all you can and give it your best, practice is never enough,” she advises prospective future participants in the Canadian Skills Compe- tition. Mr. Tan accompanied Ms. Dufour to Vancouver with the support of Martin Beckett, Pine Ridge principal, and sponsors from other communi- ty groups. A.J.

Extended to June 30/02 Low monthly payments (OAC) 905-427-5551 Here’s some gardening advice brought to you by the Ajax in Bloom Garden Competition committee. Despite harsh winter conditions, plants reward us with lush new growth and brilliant colours. The birds are claiming their territories with bird song-singing it seems, to herald the beginning of the growing season. Here are some rewards for the plants and wildlife that have returned to brighten our world. * Mulch plants to a depth of 2-3”. This protects the feeder roots close to the surface and helps regulate soil mois- ture and temperature as well as assisting with weed control. * Inspect plants regularly for signs of insects or disease. Many insects can be hand picked or hosed off with water, or controlled with insecticidal soaps. Avoid letting moisture sit for long periods on leaves to prevent many diseases: water the soil, not the plant, before the evening hours. *Remove spent flowers (dead heading) to encourage repeat blooming of annuals and perennials. * Don’t forget the trees. Deeply rooted plant materials need more moisture than regu- lar lawn watering provides. Water deeply under the tree canopy during drought condi- tions. * Aside from providing interest in the garden, birds also play an important role in pest con- trol. Some eat the larvae of pests while others eat weed seeds. Don’t forget to keep the bird bath clean by scrubbing weekly with a stiff brush and replacing with fresh water. Avoid the use of disinfectants at all costs. If you must use soap, be sure that everything is well rinsed before refilling. * Avoid moving plants in the heat of the summer. Mark plants so that they can be split or moved in cooler fall weather. Don’t forget to tend to newly planted items, which need extra care in their first season. Kathryn, Master Gardener, and Susanne Lowe, NPD, are coor- dinators of the Ajax in Bloom Garden Competition. Nomination deadline for the competition is June 21.

Summer In The Garden Advice From Ajax in Bloom Modern Patios Get a Slightly Darker Tan The latest trend in modern patios is a return to darker colours. And since they now come in a wide range of colours, recycled plas- tic patios are leading this trend towards dark- er shades. One such colour, the all-new stone brown with a slightly pinkish shade, promises to be quite popular in the near future. New earth tones will also be popular additions to any design, along with the new attractive shades of gray. As we mentioned, recycled plastic will get darker, but not too dark. This will prevent it from attracting too much sunlight and becoming unpleasantly hot. Of course, pale shades continue to be Without a doubt, maintenance-free water- proof products are leading the wave of latest trends for patios. As a result, we’ll be seeing a lot of recycled plastic and PVC. One notewor- thy new arrival is thicker recycled plastic: 1 1/2-inches instead of the standard 1-inch; a significant improvement when it comes to strength and durability. Treated wood continues to be popular, however, mainly because of its inviting warmth. It’s often the material of choice for both very small patios and for very large lev- eled patios with sophisticated designs that include pergolas, whirlpools, etc. Another current trend is multileveled patios. However, more and more designs are including integrated whirlpools rather than the traditional swimming pool. Thanks to new materials such as recycled plastic, the trend is for patios with rounder shapes, and as a result, modern patios will take on even more curves. popular. In addition, new PVC flooring is now available in soft shades of white, beige and gray. New Waterproof Products Make a Splash PICOV FURNITURE C.C.

Like the other spikes, the spikes for roses provide nutrition underground, where plant roots can use it most. There are a lot of ways to use flow- ers in your yard. Head out to your local nursery or chain retailer and check out their selection of summer blooms, and while you’re there, don’t forget to pick up your spikes. This Season, Plant ‘Perennial Favorites’ (MS) — Looking for a way to spruce up your yard without spending a lot of money? Few things can perk up a yard like a burst of vibrant blooms. Perennials are an especially wise choice because they’ll come back year after year. You’ll get a big return for a very small investment. This year, try planting some “perennial favorites” like chrysanthemums, daylilies, iris, hostas, phlox and peonies. The plants come in a variety of colors and do well in just about any area of the country. You’ll be amazed at how entranceways and porches can come to life with well-placed perennials or bulbs. Your flowers will flourish if you fertilize them well. Many gardeners say that the easiest way to get just the right amount of nutrients to their plants is by using fertilizer spikes for bulbs and perennials. By inserting the spikes just below the surface of the soil, you can be assured that your flowers will receive the exact amount of nutrients they need. Best of all, the slow-release formula will feed your plants between 4 to 8 weeks and won’t wash away like surface-applied fertilizers. You don’t have to create a new flowerbed to add flowers to your yard. Blooming plants, like begonias, look terrific in hang- ing baskets and of course, potted geraniums are always good for adding color to your home. Pull out some of your favorite old pots and experiment with different flowers. A deck or a patio is a great spot to place an arrangement of potted plants. One thing to keep in mind with container gardening is that the plants need to be watered more often because they dry faster than in-ground plants. You’ll also have to fertilize more often, because nutrients seep out with frequent watering. An effective way to keep potted plants healthy is by using fertilizer spikes for potted plants and hanging baskets. The easy- to-use spikes feed the plants at the roots, where they need it most, so you can be assured your plants are getting just what they need. Another way to add flow- ers to your yard is by planting roses. Roses come in a kaleido- scope of colors and can go a long way toward beautifying your yard. Choose a hardy variety, like floribunda roses, and plant them in an area that gets a lot of direct sunlight. When planted en masse, the generally low-grow- ing floribunda make great land- 1-800-995-6353 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 14,2002 PAGE 21 A/P Saturn Saab Isuzu of PickeringSaturn Saab Isuzu of Pickering 980 KINGSTON RD.,980 KINGSTON RD., PICKERING 905-839-6159www.saturnofpickering@saturncanada.com SATURN OF PICKERING KINGSTON RD.

Sat 10 am - 6 pm, Sun 10 am - 5 pm Mon & Tues 10 am - 9 pm Durham ponders $7.5-million donation to regional cancer centre Councillors’decision expected July 10 BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Less than two years ago, regional council couldn’t see its way clear to funding local hospitals but today it may be willing to spend $7.5 million to help the new Durham cancer centre reach its funding objective. The regional finance and administra- tion committee is recommending the Region donate the money to the Heroes of Hope Campaign for the soon-to-be constructed cancer centre. It will take that recommendation to council’s July 10 meeting for endorsement. “Let’s keep them (cancer patients) here. Let’s keep them close so their fam- ilies can come visit them. It’s not just about the drive and the gas to Toronto. There’s a lot more involved in it,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. His sentiments were echoed by a num- ber of councillors who said they be- lieved the citizens of Durham would support a contribution to the cancer cen- tre because so many people have been impacted in one way or another by the disease. If approved, the money will likely come from the Region’s rate stabiliza- tion fund over a three-year period. It currently sits at $27 million so the do- nation will not increase taxes for Durham property owners. Glenn Will- son, the gift chairman for the Heroes of Hope Campaign, specifically asked committee members not to create an ad- ditional tax levy to pay for any contri- bution. Donors, particularly some busi- ness donors, have indicated they would reduce their contribution by the same amount if they were taxed for it. “Make it a gift, not a tax,” he said. Mr. Anderson said, “Seven-and-a- half-million out of the rate stabilization fund isn’t going to have a significant impact on our taxpayers but it’s going to have a huge impact on our cancer pa- tients.” But Finance Chairman Ajax Coun- cillor Jim McMaster pointed out, “If you don’t want money to come from tax revenue you can’t come to us for dona- tions because all of our money comes from taxes.” Council was unwilling to provide funding for local hospitals 18 months ago because it considered health care a provincial responsibility, not a responsi- bility of regional property taxpayers, he recalled. Coun. McMaster was in favour of supporting the hospitals at that time. He said he would support the cancer centre donation, but he added, he has a hard time justifying it without also funding the Rouge Valley Ajax Picker- ing hospital, which is still millions short on its fund-raising campaign for a new emergency department. “How do I tell my hospital ‘we’re going to give money to the cancer cen- tre but we don’t have any money for you’?” he asked. Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond suggested the cancer centre funding was different because the Provincial contri- bution has been committed and “this is to top off funding” already in place in- stead of creating a continuous funding precedent. The mayor asked the fund- raisers to ensure they approach other municipalities outside of Durham that will be within the cancer centre catch- ment area, such as the City of Kawartha Lakes. “This is one project that must transcend municipal boundaries,” she said. The Heroes for Hope Campaign must raise $30 million, as a prereq- uisite for provincial funding. The Province is funding about 70 per cent of the project. To date the campaign fund-rais- ers have received commitments for donations totalling $15 million in- cluding $5 million from the R. Samuel McLaughlin Foundation, $6 million from the Cash for Can- cer lottery, $1.6 million from the Lakeridge Health foundations, $1 million from the Auxiliary of Lak- eridge Health Oshawa, $550,000 from local families, $450,000 from small businesses in Durham, $205,000 from Lakeridge Health employees and $50,000 from the Oshawa Professional Fire Fighter’s Association. If the Region comes through with the $7.5 million, it would leave $7.5 million more needed to meet the target. That last amount is likely to be the most difficult, pre- dicted Mr. Willson, because the most receptive donors have already committed. Still, he said, overall the campaign is “an easy sell. It’s a motherhood issue.” He pointed out he is neither a member of the hos- pital board nor the foundation and he believes citizens are happy to get behind the project. Among their future fund-raising plans, the campaign organizers are planning one more Cash for Cancer lottery. All the money raised is man- aged by Cancer Care Ontario and will be used exclusively for the cancer centre, said Chuck Powers, chairman of the Oshawa General Hospital Foundation. Just Like Magic!!

The latest Employment Outlook Sur- vey in Durham released by Manpower Inc. reveals 35 per cent of employers in the region plan to increase their staff dur- ing July, August, and September. Just seven per cent plan to reduce staff and 54 per cent plan on remaining at current lev- els. Four per cent of business owners aren’t certain about hiring intentions. “Three months ago employers were similarly optimistic,” said Kim Murray of Manpower. “Thirty per cent reported hir- ing intentions and two per cent foresaw the need to trim personnel. A year ago at this time, the outlook was also healthy when 32 per cent said they would add workers and eight per cent predicted cut- backs.” Staffing opportunities are predicted in construction, non-durable goods manu- facturing, transportation/public utilities, wholesale/retail trade, and public admin- istration. Manpower vice-president and general manager Steve Walker said, “The decision by many employers to significantly add to their employee base sends a strong signal of confidence for the summer months. While some industries, including manu- facturing, have not yet returned to season- ally expected levels of hiring, clear progress has been made from the picture of three months ago.” Construction has been the summer- time industry leader. The finance, insurance, and real estate area is reflecting unusually strong hiring intentions with its best third quarter out- look in 14 years. But the education field is showing a pattern of slippage that has persisted since last year, says Manpower. The quarterly employment survey is conducted by Manpower Inc.

One of the most effective tools your business could ever have!!! CALL: Yasmin Hassan (905) 426-4676 ext. 229SAMPLE1-800-995-6353 My name is Marjorie Garst. I live with my husband John. I am a homemaker and mother of four. I volunteer as a foster mother for newborn babies. I lost a remarkable 71 pounds in eight short months without dieting. I went from a chubby size 20 to a trim size 10! This is my true-life account of genuine, lasting weight loss success. I had read the hypnosis’ ads for months. Frankly, I was skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. Then I saw a special report on the News. It featured folks who had quit smoking and dropped weight with hypnosis. One lady said she lost over 90 lbs. She said hypnosis made it simple. That got my attention. I honestly didn’t think the people in the ads were real until I saw it on the 11:00 News. Now it’s happened to me and I have my own true story to tell. Embarrassed and Ashamed I dreaded my yearly visits to the doctor. My weight was climbing at a rate of ten or more pounds a year. It was dangerous for me to gain weight. My blood pressure and choles- terol were sky high. My joints were stiff and ached constantly.I could barely lift myself out of a chair. My health was in jeopardy. Yet I couldn’t stop eating. I was out of control. I was a career snacker. I sat on the sofa, watched TV and ate. I sat at the kitchen table, read the newspaper and ate. When I fed my foster babies, I fed myself too. I lived on sweets and soda pop. Food seemed to have some mysterious power over me. I ate all day. With every expansion of my hips and thighs my self-con- fidence withered. I was embar- rassed, shy and reserved. Dieting was the most con- fusing and frustrating experience of my life. Diets made me crave and binge. The only way I lost weight was by starving myself. I lost ten pounds once. Then I gave up and my weight came right back plus ten pounds more. My self- esteem was demolished. Immediate Results I was nervous when I called for the appoint- ment. I didn’t want to be pressured. The free hyp- notic screening was a wonderful surprise. My consultant was genuinely interested in me. The high-pressure sales pitch never happened. She explained hypnosis in a relaxed, entertaining way. She went over the guarantee. I was impressed. If I couldn’t be hypnotized, I would get a full refund. I had nothing to lose except a lot of fat. I signed up. My new eating habits started immediately after my first session. My hunger pangs disap- peared. My taste for soda pop vanished. I found myself craving healthy foods. Fruits and vegeta- bles tasted different. It was like my taste buds came alive. One day I was walk- ing through the grocery store. I marched right past the bak- ery, candy, chips and soda without a glance. That’s when I was convinced. Hypnosis had completely changed my taste. Doctor’s Delight! My last visit to my doc- tor was a thrill! My doctor nod- ded his head with delight. He confirmed my 71-pound weight loss. For the first time in my life my blood work and cholesterol are normal without pills! I feel fantastic. No more aches and pains. No more cravings or binges. Best of all, hypnosis eliminated dieting for good! Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effortless. I know I will never gain the weight back. All the changes are permanent. I have a whole different way of thinking about what I put into my body. I never feel deprived. Self-Confidence Soars! When I was overweight I was extremely withdrawn. Some days I hardly spoke a word. I thought everyone was judging me. My self-worth was zero. When the weight came off I felt better about myself. Hypnosis helped me relax. I gained a feeling of inner peace. I knew I was back in control of my life. One Sunday my minister asked me to stand up in church to announce how much weight I had lost. After the service folks surrounded me to ask how I did it. I was completely comfortable chat- ting away with them. I couldn’t believe it was me! So relaxed! So confident! There are now seven members of our church using hypnosis. Includ- ing my husband, John! He’s already lost 30 pounds! My entire family has changed thanks to hypnosis. My son lost 22 pounds. My 83-year- old mother lost 18 pounds. We’re saving money on our food bill every week. What a bonus! Twenty Years Younger I thought I’d never wear a bathing suit again. On the 4th of July I gazed at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a sexy black and purple one-piece suit. I loved what I saw! I wore it that day and many days since. The best day of my life was spent filling two giant boxes with fat clothes I’ll never wear again. People say I look twen- ty years younger. They wonder why I’m always smiling. I have tons of ener- gy. I’m light on my feet. I have a social life! I owe it all to the power of hypnosis. Invaluable! My results at using hypnosis are invaluable to me. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. I believe in hypnosis. I’m certain you’ll be as thrilled as I am. I know because I’ve met lots of other folks who are getting results like mine. They’ve shed 50, 60, even 90 pounds with ease. Call Now and Schedule your hypnotic screening. It’s absolutely free and there’s no obligation. Ask about their no-risk guarantee. You’ll be glad you did. If your evaluator doesn’t think hypnosis is for you, she’ll tell you so. I know how much it hurts to be over- weight. I’ve been there. If you have a weight problem, don’t put it off. You’ll probably just gain more weight. Do what I did. Call 905-686- 7717.

WINDTALKERS Starring Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach Directed by John Woo On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. For the next sev- eral years, U.S. forces were fully en- gaged in battle throughout the Pacific, taking over islands one by one in a slow progression towards mainland Japan. During this brutal campaign, the Japan- ese were continually able to break coded military transmissions, dramatically slowing U.S. progress. In 1942, several hundred Navajo Americans were recruited as Marines and trained to use their language as code. In ‘Windtalkers,’ Marine Joe En- ders (Nicolas Cage) is assigned to pro- tect Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) - a Navajo code talker, the Marines’new se- cret weapon. Enders’ orders are to pro- tect his code talker, but if Yahzee should fall into enemy hands, he’s to “protect the code at all costs.” Against the back- drop of the horrific Battle of Saipan, when capture is imminent, Enders is forced to make a decision: if he can’t protect his fellow Marine, can he bring himself to kill him to protect the code? The Navajo code was the only one never broken by the Japanese, and is considered to have been an important key in winning the war. THE BOURNE IDENTITY Starring Matt Damon Directed by Doug Liman Robert Ludlum’s 1980 novel ‘The Bourne Identity’is the first in the famed writer’s trio of international thrillers fea- turing master spy Jason Bourne. In this story, an amnesiac (Damon) is rescued, near death, from the ocean by the crew of an Italian fishing boat, and finds him- self being pursued by hired killers. He is completely without identity or background... but does possess a range of extraordinary talents in fighting, lin- guistics and self-defence that speak of a dangerous past. He sets out on a desperate search –– assisted by the initially rebellious Marie (Potente) –– to discover who he really is, and why just about everyone he en- counters wants him dead. SCOOBY-DOO Starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar. Directed by Raja Gosnell Zoinks! Two years after a clash of egos forced Mystery Inc. to close its doors, Scooby-Doo and his clever crime-solving cohorts Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Velma (Linda Cardellini) are individual- ly summoned to Spooky Island to inves- tigate a series of paranormal incidents at the ultra-hip Spring Break hot spot.

The legendary Down- child Blues Band will head- line a weeklong celebration of music, culture and com- munity Aug. 12 to 17 as part of the inaugural Os- hawa Jazz and Blues Festi- val. The Jazz and Chardon- nay concert series runs Aug. 14 to 16. For more informa- tion, email: kerr@eclipsec- oncerts.com or call Kerri Nowensky at 905-404- 2622. Downchild Blues Band heads to DurhamCage learns the code of the Windtalkers The following movies are de- buting at theatres this weekend. WINDTALKERS Starring Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach Directed by John Woo On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. For the next several years, U.S. forces were fully engaged in bat- tle throughout the Pacific, taking over islands one by one in a slow progression towards mainland Japan. During this brutal cam- paign, the Japanese were contin- ually able to break coded mili- tary transmissions, dramatically slowing U.S. progress. In 1942, several hundred Navajo Americans were recruit- ed as Marines and trained to use their language as code. In ‘Windtalkers,’ Marine Joe En- ders (Nicolas Cage) is assigned to protect Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) - a Navajo code talker, the Marines’new secret weapon. Enders’ orders are to protect his code talker, but if Yahzee should fall into enemy hands, he’s to “protect the code at all costs.” Against the backdrop of the hor- rific Battle of Saipan, when cap- ture is imminent, Enders is forced to make a decision: if he can’t protect his fellow Marine, can he bring himself to kill him to protect the code? The Navajo code was the only one never broken by the Japan- ese, and is considered to have been an important key in win- ning the war. THE BOURNE IDENTITY Starring Matt Damon Directed by Doug Liman Robert Ludlum’s 1980 novel ‘The Bourne Identity’ is the first in the famed writer’s trio of in- ternational thrillers featuring master spy Jason Bourne. In this story, an amnesiac (Damon) is rescued, near death, from the ocean by the crew of an Italian fishing boat, and finds himself being pursued by hired killers. He is completely without identity or background... but does possess a range of extraor- dinary talents in fighting, linguis- tics and self-defence that speak of a dangerous past. He sets out on a desperate search –– assisted by the initially rebellious Marie (Potente) –– to discover who he really is, and why just about everyone he en- counters wants him dead. SCOOBY-DOO Starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar. Directed by Raja Gosnell Zoinks! Two years after a clash of egos forced Mystery Inc. to close its doors, Scooby- Doo and his clever crime- solving cohorts Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lil- lard) and Velma (Linda Cardelli- ni) are individually summoned to Spooky Island to investigate a se- ries of paranormal incidents at the ultra-hip Spring Break hot spot. Concerned his frightfully popular resort might truly be haunted, Spooky Island owner Emile Mondavarious (Rowan Atkinson) tries to reunite those notoriously meddling detectives to solve the mystery before his supernatural secret scares away the college crowds. Scooby and the gang will have to overcome their personal differences and forget everything they think they know about fake ghouls and phony creatures to crack the case, save themselves and possibly, the world.

Men’s, women’s teams double the excitement Senior tennis finals settled in tiebreakers DURHAM —Area seniors served up some exciting court action at the Durham Senior Games tennis tournament in Pickering last Friday. Thirty-two seniors from Os- hawa, Whitby, Ajax and Picker- ing competed at the Sandy Beach Tennis Club, with hard-fought games in both the men’s and women’s brackets. Both the men’s and women’s doubles finals needed tiebreakers to determine the champions. The gold medals in the men’s doubles category went to Ed Taylor and Jeff Cookson of Os- hawa over silver medallists Lau- rencao Conceicao and Tak Hayashi of Pickering. The Whit- by duo of Ian Leckie and Win- ston Gonzales claimed the bronze medal. Meanwhile, in women’s dou- bles play, Rosemary Aiken, of Pickering, and partner Karen Owens, of Ajax, defeated Marg Townsend and Lee Mullen, both of Pickering, in the gold-medal match. Earning the bronze medal were Virginia Fedak and partner Suli Sarangi, both of Pickering.

Golden, but still not quite good enough Tabia Charles continuing to reach for new heights, despite track successes PICKERING — Winning a gold medal while shattering a record at the provincial high school champi- onships would make most athletes’ day a successful one. Except Tabia Charles — a con- summate perfectionist in track and field — was hoping for an even bet- ter result in the triple jump at the re- cent Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Track and Field Championships in Belleville. The 17-year-old Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School student captured a gold medal with a distance of 12.36 metres, establishing new Canadian and OFSAA records. Charles’s record-setting leap — on her third and final attempt — bettered the old OFSAA mark of 12.21 set three years ago and the Canadian high school mark of 12.25 set two years ago. Her distance, however, was well short of her personal best of 12.92 metres, which she landed last sum- mer at the Canada Summer Games trials for a new Canadian under-19 standard. “I wish I had performed better,” said the Grade 11 student. “But, I did what I could that day.” She explained jumping into a headwind, and being somewhat tired, as the triple jump was contest- ed on the same day as the 200m final, made it more difficult to put See CHARLES page 34 A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Scores and more ...Page 41 forth her best. Nonetheless, she was pleased with how her track events played out. She ran to a silver medal in the junior girls’ 100m in a personal best 12.21 seconds, after qualifying in fourth place in 12.36 seconds. She also placed fourth in the junior girls’200m in a time of 25.07 seconds. She established a new personal best in the event by finishing fourth overall in the preliminaries, qualifying in 24.96 seconds. It’s not the first record Charles has established at OFSAA. Competing in the midget girls’ triple jump in 2000, she recorded a distance of 11.80 me- tres, which equalled the record set in 1991. In March, while representing the Etobicoke Huskies Track Club, she captured a gold medal in the triple jump at the National Scholastic In- door Championships in New York City with a leap of 12.89 metres. There, she com- peted against top athletes from across Canada and the U.S. Her 2002 triple jump title represented back-to-back wins in the event; she also won the event in 2001. With one more year of high school and one more year to leave her mark upon the provincial high school track and field scene, Charles has plenty of time to plan her future. And, judging by the plethora of U.S. college recruiters lined up with athlet- ic scholarship offers, the future’s bright indeed. The universities of Miami, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Idaho and Nebraska, to name a few, have all made pitches. “I’m still young and I still have a year left,” she noted. “Hopefully, there will be more offers.” In the interim, she hopes to repre- sent Canada at the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Kingston, Jamaica July 16 to 21, as well as par- ticipate in the Canadian Junior Track and Field Championships in Kitchener July 26 to 28.

Entering into its 21st season, this is a chal- lenging 18 hole course for the beginner and the experienced golfer. A par 70, 5200 yard course that requires an accurate touch off the tee “It’s a tight course so accuracy is key to a good round,” says Manager and CPGA Pro Matt Butler. A picturesque course featuring rolling hills and mature trees, water comes into play on 8 holes with a tributary of the Oshawa Creek winding through the course and two ponds to chal- lenge your swing. There’s a fully stocked pro shop with cart and club rentals. Lessons are available and there’s a chipping and putting green. There is also a snack bar, as well as banquet facilities for up to 150. Winchester has 180 members and you can pay as you play with very reasonable green fees. This course is also very popular for tournaments. Golf Tip: Matt says the shootout hole will be challenging and requires a very accurate shot. The pin position will be at the back and unlike last year you won’t be able to roll it on to the green. Wind is always in play and Matt says you should use an extra club on this hole to make the ace. “Good Luck.” CPGA PRO and MANAGER MATT BUTLER Seventh Qualifying Site 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, June 17 Winchester Golf Club Hole # 2 ROB RUTKOWSKI BENDT JENSON GARY INNES BRUCE PRIESTMAN PIERRE BEDARD CRAIG BOWERS MARCEL MARTIN AL COLLINS TIM REINER LES JASMIN ED OTTEMBRAJT STAN OTTEMBRAJT ROGER GALLANT RICK ANDERSON RICH NOSAL BOB COPPINS STEVE GEORGE TIM COBOURN HOLE IN ONE SHOOTOUT QUALIFIERS HOLE IN ONE SHOOTOUT QUALIFIERS WATERFRONT FESTIVAL Rotary Park Chill at Magwyer’s Beer Garden June 16 at 12:00 - 6:00 p.m. AJAX –– Ajax Wanderers Rugby Club teams are in action against Lon- don Saturday afternoon at its Har- wood Avenue North field.
