DURHAM —“I cracked, I
lost it, I snapped,” James
Poland told jurors Wednesday
as he took the stand in his on-
going second-degree murder
trial.
Jurors heard on the day of
his common-law wife Andrea
Schneider’s murder, “I hit her
one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven times. I don’t know.”
The Ajax man then
slammed the garage door shut
and continued about his daily
routine.
He said it was only later in
the day as he took the garbage
to the garage that he discov-
ered his wife was dead.
“I saw Andrea dead,” he
said, covering his face with his
hands.

‘snapped’
Pickering votes
against contributing
to groups’OMB
legal costs
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —It’s a part-
nership that may have seen its
final days.
“This is a sad day,” said Pick-
ering East Shore Community As-
sociation (PESCA) president Syl-
vain Trepanier.
He was referring to City coun-
cil’s decision Monday night not
to help fund the legal costs of
PESCA and Pickering Ajax Citi-
zens Together for the Environ-
ment (PACT) in their battle with
the Pickering Harbour Company
(PHC) over redevelopment of the
marina lands at the south end of
Liverpool Road.
“It sends the wrong message to
residents. (The City) wants vol-
unteers, they want people to be
involved, but in the end they just
end up slapping them in the face,”
he added.
At the beginning of June,
PACT and PESCA asked council-
lors to consider giving them
$20,000 to cover half the cost of
lawyers and expert witnesses at
the Ontario Municipal Board
(OMB) hearing on the issue.
Along with PACT and PESCA,
both the City and the Toronto and
Region Conservation Association
are represented at the hearing and
oppose the PHC’s plan to build
66 townhouses on the east shore
of Frenchman’s Bay.
PACT and PESCA’s position is
similar to the City’s, but concen-
trates more on environmental op-
position, while the City’s argu-
ment is focused on planning is-
sues.
Ward 2 Regional Councillor
Catholic
board to vote
on budget
Monday
DURHAM —Catholic school
board trustees received the second
draft of the 2002/03 budget
Wednesday night, including a
staff proposal to use an additional
$522,000 in reserves.
That would bring the total re-
liance on reserves to $5.3 million
if nothing changes before Mon-
day, when trustees are slated to
approve the final budget.
David Visser, the Durham
Catholic District School Board’s
business superintendent, however,
suggested there might be some al-
terations made at that time.
“Staff are diligently looking
for any area we can trim the bud-
get and are trying to bring the uti-
lization of reserves down,” he said
in an interview.
Education director Grant An-
drews said it does not appear there
will be any major impact on the
board budget in the wake of Mon-
day’s provincial budget.
“Right now we’re not aware of
10 cents coming to us from the
budget,” he said.
See PICKERING page 2
Mark Holland and Ward 2 Councillor Bill
McLean introduced a motion Monday
night that asked the City to donate $10,000
to the legal fees.
Both council-
lors made pleas
asking for sup-
port of the
groups, saying
they have
worked tireless-
ly in helping to
create the City’s
vision for the
waterfront and
in defending it.
“We had a
partnership, we
joined with the
community and
supported one
another,” ex-
plained Coun.
Holland.
“This isn’t as
simple as a
community
group coming
out of the blue
and asking for
funding. We’ve
come down this
road together
and I don’t want
to see us leave
our partner
standing on the
side of the
road.”
But, although
Mayor Wayne
Arthurs said he
was thankful for
the efforts, he
didn’t want to
set a precedent
by handing
them cash.
“Funding
community
groups at OMB
hearings is out-
side of what we
should be
doing,” he said.
“If we did we’d
be hard-pressed
to say ‘no’ to
the next com-
munity organi-
zation who
asks.”
Councillors
David Pickles,
Dave Ryan and
Rick Johnson
agreed, defeat-
ing the request
4-3.
Ward 1 Re-
gional Council-
lor Maurice
Brenner also
was in favour.
“I’m disap-
pointed they
weren’t more
supportive of
the community
groups,” said
PACT and
PESCA lawyer
Philip Mc-
Mullen.
“We’ve had a
partnership for
years and now
the community
groups are get-
ting the short end of the stick.”
“We were supposed to be partners,”
added PESCA member Jacqueline Smart.
“We must have given (the City) hundreds
of thousands of dollars supporting differ-
ent projects.”
Now Coun. Holland and several mem-
bers of PESCA agree the history of part-
nership and joint venture funding between
the City and the community groups may
have come to an end. “That’s the danger
now,” said Coun. Holland following the
meeting. “If we don’t give (community
groups) the support they need why should
(they) support us.”

Approval given for
multi-million facility
despite plea from
Oshawa business group
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––A new regional
headquarters in north Whitby could
be the death knell for Oshawa’s
downtown and a fiasco for regional
taxpayers, says a local business
leader.
But despite protests from Bob
Malcolmson, executive director of
the Greater Oshawa Chamber of
Commerce, politicians voted 17-10
Wednesday to proceed with a new
regional headquarters at Rossland
Road and Garden Street at a cost of
$55 million to $70 million.
“An economic impact analysis
needs to be done,” Mr. Malcolmson
told council. “It is most appropriate
to not only look at the cost com-
parisons of lease versus buy but
also the economic impact on the
communities which will be affect-
ed.”
Oshawa Councillor Cathy
Clarke agreed, noting a new head-
quarters will put more than
200,000 square feet of leased space
back on the market all at one time
and the Oshawa downtown could
be in serious jeopardy as a result.
Oshawa Councillor Nester Pid-
werbecki said the impact on Os-
hawa could be even more devastat-
ing if police personnel are pulled
out of the city to be relocated at the
new regional headquarters.
Police Services Board Chair-
man and Oshawa Councillor Bob
Boychyn later said he could not
confirm whether personnel would
be relocated from Oshawa. Howev-
er, he said, there is going to be a
need for more police office space
and building in conjunction with
the new headquarters may make fi-
nancial sense.
Regional staff have recom-
mended building up to 350,000
square feet - 120,000 square feet
more than the Region currently oc-
cupies - to allow the current re-
gional services to be housed under
one roof, to allow for future growth
and possibly for police services.
Some councillors suggested the
capital costs of building a larger
building might be offset by long-
term efficiencies.
“The operating costs of these
old buildings has been out of order.
On top of that we’re fixing up other
people’s buildings,” Whitby Mayor
Marcel Brunelle, who made the
original motion to consider a new
headquarters.
But Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia-
mond told council the Region can-
not afford the debt. The Region’s
debtload is expected to increase
from $35 million in 2001 to $102
million by 2006 even before fi-
nancing of the new building, she
said.
Jim Clapp, the Region’s finance
commissioner, said financing for
the new headquarters could be off-
set by putting money down on the
building from the development
charge and rate stabilization re-
serves. He noted over 35 years the
Region would save $34 million by
owning instead of leasing. The sav-
ings would begin to kick in about
20 years down the road, he said.
Clarington Mayor John Mutton
suggested 20 years is too late for
constituents who cannot afford an
increase on their tax bill now. The
mayor said he could only support
the proposal if the new building
would cost current taxpayers no
more than what is being spent on
leasing. His motion to reduce the
proposed cost was defeated. The
mayor also asked council to table
the debate until the question could
be put to the public as a referen-
dum, likely during the next elec-
tion. That motion was also defeat-
ed.
Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs
said owning rather than leasing
may be beneficial but council has
not spent enough time considering
alternative sites and ideas. “I don’t
think we’ve been very visionary,”
the mayor said. The “centre of the
region” may not be at this
site down the road, he
added.
The Pickering mayor
suggested more consulta-
tion with the community,
such as the new universi-
ty, might be in order to
look at partnerships. He
also suggested considera-
tion of a node of build-
ings rather than one mas-
sive structure to better
serve future generations.
Pickering Councillor
Mark Holland said alter-
native sites, especially in
a downtown would be
ideal but “the reality is
we won’t come to a con-
sensus on this.” The councillor
said, “The question is operating ef-
ficiently, delivering service effec-
tively.”
In a 17-10 recorded vote, coun-
cil decided to proceed with propos-
als from five contractors to be cho-
sen out of 15 who expressed inter-
est in the project. All will be asked
to bid based on the Rossland Road
site, said Jack McCorkell, commis-
sioner of works. Council will have
to decide in the fall, prior to cre-
ation of the proposals, how large
the project will be, he said. Council
approved $350,000 for an architect
and expense honoraria for the bid-
ding firms.
Councillors voting to proceed
with a regional headquarters were:
Pickering councillors Maurice
Brenner, Mark Holland and Rick
Johnson; Ajax councillors Jim Mc-
Master and Scott Crawford; Whit-
by Mayor Marcel Brunelle and
councillors Joe Drumm, Gerry
Emm and Pat Perkins; Oshawa
Councillor Bob Boychyn; Claring-
ton Councillor Jim Schell;
Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’-
Connor and Councillor Susan Para;
Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt and
Councillor Ken Carruthers; Brock
Mayor Terry Clayton and Council-
lor Larry O’Connor.
Councillors voting against pro-
ceeding with the headquarters
were: Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs; Oshawa Mayor Nancy Di-
amond and councillors Clare Aker,
Cathy Clarke, John Gray, John
Neal, Nester Pidwerbecki and War-
ren Young; Clarington Mayor John
Mutton and Councillor Charlie
Trim. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish was
absent for the vote.

One-year deal gives
employee group almost
four-per cent raise
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The public school
board’s educational assistants have a
new contract, a one-year deal that
will see them receive a roughly four-
per cent raise by the end of next
March.
But, Don Bryans, president of
Local 218 of the Canadian Union of
Public Employees, suggested there’s
no celebration taking place in the
wake of the deal.
He was seeking at least a two-year
contract and more money for the
group, and blamed the provincial
government for both a lack of fund-
ing and a climate of financial uncer-
tainty for school boards.
The Durham District School
Board ratified the deal on Monday
night.
The roughly 650 employees are to
receive a 1.65-per cent salary in-
crease, retroactive to April 1, and a
further 2.3-per cent raise effective
March 31.
“It’s a disappointing time for us in
that raises are very hard to come by
in education,” said Mr. Bryans.
He noted, by comparison, Durham
Region last August gave its inside
workers, public health nurses and
employees at homes for the aged a
nine-per cent raise over three years.
Craig Burch, the board’s employ-
ee relation’s superintendent, agreed,
saying, “There’s no one else to lay
the blame on accurately than the
provincial government.
“There is no money available for
raises into the future for our employ-
ees and so I give full marks to the EA
committee.
“They knew the best they could do
was get some money into the mem-
bers’ pockets and see what the future
holds.”
Mr. Burch said, however, it was a
“good deal, a fair deal for one year”.
Under the new deal, by March 31,
a Class ‘1’ educational assistant will
make $19.40 an hour, while a Class 2
employee will earn $20.16. The rate
is based on a 30-hour, 10-month
work year.
Mr. Bryans said the short-term
contract means he’ll be back at the
bargaining table to negotiate a new
contract in about six months. He
noted roughly 80 per cent of the EAs
voted in favour of the deal, “lower
than what I thought it would have
been”.
He said employees are also aware
with the end of the Ontario Munici-
pal Employees Retirement System
(OMERS) contribution holiday at the
end of this year, they will have to
once again start paying into the pen-
sion fund, eventually meaning a six-
to seven-per cent drop in wages by
2005.
OMERS is one of Canada’s largest
pension plans, with over 300,000
members working for 1,000 employ-
ers.
Both parties make equal contribu-
tions to the plan, but the good eco-
nomic times of recent years meant
the plan had a surplus and thus con-
tributions were not required from ei-
ther workers or employers, hence the
‘holiday’.

Right people make
all the difference
To the editor:
On June 1, while at work in my Scarbor-
ough office, I experienced chest pains and
numbness of my left arm.
Since Scarborough General was the clos-
est hospital, my husband took me to its
emergency department. After they took the
information, I was sent to the waiting room
for over an hour without a nurse checking
me out. When I inquired about the wait, I
was told there were 15 other patients in
front of me so the wait would be another
couple of hours.
I thought if I had to wait, I would rather
wait at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Picker-
ing. So my husband took me to the Ajax
hospital. What a different experience! As
soon as I told the admitting nurse I had chest
pains and numbness, she gave me aspirin to
protect my heart, got me into the treatment
room and within 15 minutes I had an EEG,
blood drawn and a chest X-ray.
I was hooked up to a monitor while I was
waiting for the test results. The nurse in
charge of the room that night, Trudy, was
friendly and comforting. It turned out I had
a virus in my lungs and not a heart attack.
Although I was there for over two-and-a-
half hours, I felt safe and cared for the
whole time. I want to let everyone in Ajax
know of this experience as we usually hear
about the bad things in the health system,
but not often the good. Under the same re-
straints, two hospitals functioned very dif-
ferently. And the difference is the staff.
In Ajax, we are lucky to have this team of
dedicated health-care professionals and we
should support them in any way we can.
They should be very proud of themselves.
Susannah Moylan,
Ajax

The Durham YMCA, situated on
the corner of Mary and William
streets in Oshawa, has been my exer-
cise home for the last year. Taking
out a membership at the Y was the
best decision I could have made.
Not only have I improved my
level of fitness, I am part of an orga-
nization that has played an important
role in providing much-needed com-
munity services for Durham Region.
When the current building was
completed two-and-a-half years ago,
its location improved an area of Os-
hawa that was a blight on the land-
scape. Now, when one looks at the
space it occupies, one sees a beauti-
ful state-of-the-art exercise facility,
and in front, plenty of green space in-
stead of dirt and garbage. Inside, you
are greeted by friendly, helpful pro-
fessional staff members who really
love their work. The physical interior
of the building is awash in natural
light, and even on a grey, dull day, it
is pleasant to be able to look out and
see the world go by.
It seems a lot of people agree with
my assessment of what the Y offers,
judging by the number of partici-
pants of all ages in the various fitness
programs.
But the Y is so much more than a
place to get fit. The next time you
visit, take a moment to read the mis-
sion statement posted inside the en-
trance. Then reflect on the many ser-
vices the Y offers to the community.
Preschool and day programs, camps,
education programs, shelters for
those in need, and volunteer opportu-
nities, are just a few of the many
ways the Y strengthens the commu-
nity. The YMCA, and its sister, the
YWCA, have been leading the way
in helping to maintain the social safe-
ty net during these times of cutbacks
and mean-spirited attitudes on the
part of some of our elected officials.
The Y is an international organi-
zation. On the bulletin board in the
main hall, you will see just how far
afield the Y extends its hand of help
and friendship. Join one Y and you
join them all.
You can help too. The Y accepts
volunteers of all abilities. Make a do-
nation to the annual fund-raising
campaign, ‘The power of giving’. In-
quire about becoming a group fitness
leader or a camp counsellor. If you
have a business, you can consider do-
nating some of your product or ex-
pertise to the Y.
As a community organization, the
YMCA is visible and proactive. It
belongs to all of us. If we want to en-
sure its continued presence and valu-
able contributions, we need to be
there to support it. If we don’t, we all
lose.

Durham YMCA a real jewel in our community
There is no doubt that, with a population expected to double
in the next two decades, Durham Region will need a new, ex-
panded headquarters.
Since there is absolutely no need to rush the process, it’s
hard to understand why regional councillors feel pressed to
push forward now with a $55 million to $70 million building at
the Rossland Road site.
But in a 17-10 vote supported by six councillors from the
three north Durham municipalities, three from Pickering, two
from Ajax and one each from Oshawa and Clarington along
with, naturally, the four Whitby regional councillors, the Re-
gion has decided to push on ahead.
Seven Oshawa councillors led the opposition with support
from Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs and a pair of Clarington
reps.
The big question is: why now?
Taxpayers shouldn’t be too surprised. This is the same
council that just last year gave itself two generous salary rais-
es inside a 12-month span. So these councillors aren’t shy
about spending your money.
Those in favour of a new HQ point to savings they claim
will result over ownership as opposed to spending $5 million
annually on leases for private buildings across Durham. The ar-
gument goes that, long-term, ownership will save $34 million
over leasing.
But councillors in opposition point out those business own-
ers who’ve relied on Region leases will be stuck with empty
buildings. And Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce execu-
tive director Bob Malcolmson said “an economic impact analy-
sis needs to be done. It is most appropriate to not only look at
the cost comparisons of lease versus buy, but also the econom-
ic impact on the communities that will be affected.”
Oshawa Councillor Nester Pidwerbecki expressed worry the
Oshawa-based Durham Regional Police Service headquarters
could be abandoned if the new regional complex includes
space for a new police HQ.
But his question about the fate of the current police HQ
could not be answered by fellow Oshawa Councillor and police
services board chairman Bob Boychyn.
That’s exactly the problem with this ill-considered plan.
There are far too many questions and not nearly enough an-
swers.
Before this council blows a tonne of taxpayers’ money on a
regional palace, it must spend more time studying all the ram-
ifications of such a long-term, important decision. If a new
headquarters is needed, let’s be sure it’s the right building at
the right price in the right place at the right time.
Whoa! What's the
rush on headquarters?
New regional home base is one facility
that requires proper, measured planning

Accused murderer
took kids to school,
went shopping
after striking wife
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —James Poland
admits he “cracked” upon hearing
his wife was having an affair and
planned to leave him, but claims
he didn’t mean to bludgeon her to
death with an axe during an argu-
ment in their garage.
“I picked up the first thing that
was closest to me, which just hap-
pened to be the axe,” the Ajax man
told jurors.
“I hit her one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven times. I don’t
know,” he said.
Court heard as his wife lay
bleeding in the garage of their Per-
fitt Crescent home the morning of
June 7, 2001, Mr. Poland made his
sons’ lunches, dropped them at
school, stopped for a coffee and
then went grocery shopping.
The stay-at-home father of
three testified Wednesday at his
second-degree
murder trial in
the death of his
common-law
spouse, Andrea
Schneider, 38.
During the
Superior Court
trial witnesses
described Mr.
Poland as an
“obsessively”
devoted caregiv-
er to the cou-
ple’s severely
disabled daugh-
ter, Stephanie,
then seven, who
suffers from
Batten disease, a
rare fatal illness.
He also took
care of the cou-
ple’s two sons,
John-Michael,
then 11, and
Thomas, five,
while Ms.
Schneider
worked at the
Royal Ontario
Museum.
Mr. Poland,
38, said Ms.
Schneider got
angry with him
the morning of
June 7 after he
accidentally ru-
ined her new
$60 bra in the
dryer.
“She started
freaking, she
was really
upset... I didn’t
argue, that’s my
trait... She said
she’s so sick of
this place, she’s
so fed up,” Mr.
Poland said.
As she was
rushing to leave
for work, Ms.
Schneider tripped over their son’s
bicycle outside their home and be-
came irate, he said.
Ms. Schneider berated him for
not keeping the home clean, swore
at him and threw some plastic
hockey sticks, hitting him in the
head, he said. Then, she began
throwing tools, including a
wrench, vice grips and sockets, he
said.
As the argument escalated, Ms.
Schneider picked up an L-square
tool and “made a pointing gesture
toward me, like you’re not going to
walk away.
“I picked up what was next to
me, it happened to be the axe... for
defensive purposes.”
During an angry exchange, Mr.
Poland said his wife told him she
was having an affair with a friend
named Colin Devine, a New York
father of two, and that she planned
to leave him and move to a new
home in Toronto.
“She said ‘Colin thinks you’re
so naive. You really think I was in
Paris alone’?” She then revealed
she was having an affair with Mr.
Devine, he said.
“You know what? I’m moving
to the new house with the boys.
You love Stephanie so much, you
keep her,” Mr. Poland quoted his
wife.
He said he was hurt and “furi-
ous” over the comment about their
daughter, and that she was having
the affair with Mr. Devine, a com-
pany vice-president who was giv-
ing the couple $100,000 toward
the new home in High Park.
“It just split my soul,
(Stephanie’s) my life,Andrea’s my
life, the boys are my life,” he said.
“I cracked, I lost it, I snapped.”
Defence lawyer Lorne Sabsay
asked if he tried to kill Ms. Schnei-
der.
“I wasn’t trying to do any-
thing,” said Mr. Poland.
A series of e-mails Ms. Schnei-
der sent to Mr. Devine from March
through May 2001, revealing their
love affair, were filed as evidence.
Court heard Mr. Devine had
bought airline tickets for Mr.
Poland to go to his mother’s funer-
al in Edmonton in April and paid
for Ms. Schneider’s prior trip to
Paris.
Mr. Poland said he never sus-
pected they were romantically in-
volved.
The defence admits Mr. Poland
caused Ms. Schneider’s death but
is arguing it is a case of
manslaughter and not murder, that
he committed the act in the heat of
passion after being provoked.
Court heard after hitting Ms.
Schneider with the axe, he
slammed the garage door closed,
went to have a cigarette and back
into the house to return to his
morning routine of getting John-
Michael and Thomas ready for
school.
Stephanie had already been
picked up at 7:30 a.m. by a bus that
took her to a school program for
severely disabled children.
He laid out the boys’ clothes,
checked John-Michael’s home-
work, packed their lunches and
drove his sons to school in the
family van at 8:45 a.m. After, he
stopped for a coffee at Tim Hor-
tons and went grocery shopping at
Loblaws.
“I ran out of mustard for sand-
wiches,” he said.
When he returned home and
saw his wife’s car still home, Mr.
Poland said he thought she was
waiting inside and expected
“World War Three.”
Didn’t it occur to him that his
wife had been injured, Mr. Sabsay
asked.
“Not at all,” Mr. Poland said.
He testified he chatted with a
neighbour outside, played with the
dog, tidied up the home and start-
ed a load of laundry.
He said he took the garbage to
the garage, took one step and
“cried.
“I saw Andrea dead,” he said,
covering his face with his hands.
“I thought she was knocked out
or something. I said ‘Andrea, An-
drea’... All this blood came out of
nowhere... It seemed like a lake of
blood.”
Mr. Poland said he panicked,
realizing “I did it,” then worried
Thomas would come home from
school and find his mother dead.
“I thought to myself, I had to
get rid of the body.”
He wrapped his wife in a com-
forter, backed her car partway into
the garage and put her into the
trunk. Then, he began cleaning the
blood.
Mr. Poland drove the Oldsmo-
bile to the Durham Centre shop-
ping plaza, at Harwood Avenue
and Hwy. 2, and parked it in the
lot.

Ajax teen earns three
university scholarships
Matt Chase, a graduating Pickering High School student, earned
three separate scholarships to help him pursue post-secondary stud-
ies at Queen’s University in Kingston this fall.
AJAX —Thirteen is a lucky
number for Matt Chase — add
three zeros to the number and that’s
how much scholarship money the
Pickering High School student has
banked recently.
Mr. Chase received three schol-
arships this year and said the
money will certainly help with the
high cost of attending university.
“It was awesome,” he said in an
interview.
“I was totally thrilled. It’s just so
exciting to know the financial side
won’t be a problem.”
He plans to attend Queen’s Uni-
versity in Kingston this fall, and
won the $8,000 Queen’s principal
scholarship, an entrance award for
academic merit, demonstrated
leadership qualities and community
involvement. He wants to study
civil engineering.
“I’m thinking about working
overseas in developing countries
doing water treatments and other
things related to my field,” said Mr.
Chase.
He was also one of 900 Canadi-
an students to receive a millennium
scholarship, valued at $4,000, and
also picked up a $1,000 Herbert
Carnegie award.
Mr. Chase is especially proud of
the latter because the award recog-
nizes a student who actively makes
a positive contribution to their
school and community.
Brenda Hodgson, a Pickering
High guidance counsellor, de-
scribed Mr. Chase as a very deserv-
ing recipient.
“It’s his quiet leadership and
how he really cares about kids,” she
said, noting Mr. Chase tutors stu-
dents both inside and outside
school and is very involved in his
church’s youth programs.
Kids on the skids ‘Saved’ by
family court clinic in Durham
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Expressions
of gratitude from young people
once at risk made for an inspira-
tional annual general meeting of
the Durham Family Court Clinic
June 18.
It’s become a much-anticipat-
ed event for court clinic staff,
current and former clients, com-
munity leaders, donors and spon-
sors to hear success stories of
young people and how they have
turned their lives around. Coun-
selled and mentored by clinic
staff who make up the organiza-
tion’s ‘community support
team,’ the young people bravely
share their struggles and dreams
for the future. Five years
ago, Jesse was using drugs, steal-
ing and was finally arrested for
possession of narcotics. He was
hiding in a basement, not com-
municating with anyone, a virtu-
al hermit. Memories of the abuse
he suffered at the hands of his
stepfather began to haunt him.
Suicidal thoughts were a daily
occurrence.
“Jesse was in rough shape,”
recalls Cheryl Tsagarakis, his
CST mentor. “He was hiding
away in that basement. Anxiety,
depression and fear had taken
hold and he spent most of his
time sleeping or using drugs and
alcohol.”
Ms. Tsagarakis told the meet-
ing how the emotional struggle
that had hit Jesse in adolescence
was linked to the abuse he’d suf-
fered as a child. Eventually, with
great courage, he was able to put
his trust in Ms. Tsagarakis and
week by week, through simple
tasks like taking the bus and eat-
ing a meal in public, he started to
get better.
“Jesse understood that being a
survivor was better than being a
victim,” she said. Jesse gave up
drugs and alcohol and faced his
stepfather in court.
“Jesse realized withdrawing
from the world was not an op-
tion,” she told the meeting. “He
took that final leap. He thought
the world would see him as dif-
ferent ... but learned we are all
different because of our
wounds.”
Jesse’s unique acceptance
speech as one of two recipients
of the Jennifer Barnett Tribute,
awarded each year to individuals
“who display the courage to
make inspirational change in
their lives,” held the room spell-
bound.
“I tried to write a speech,” ex-
plained the handsome young
man, “but instead I’m going to
play this song by Jann Arden
called ‘Saved.” He then sat down
beside Ms. Tsagarakis as the
lyrics told his side of the story.
“I am Saved
I believe
I am not going to be like I was
I have changed, I am Saved”
The family court clinic works
with about 50 young offenders
and at-risk youth every year. The
clinic’s new ‘Seeds of Hope’
fund-raising campaign empha-
sizes rehabilitation and educa-
tion. Since 1999, for example,
intervention services provided
by DFCC have focussed on areas
such as the all-too-common ad-
versarial nature of separation and
divorce, and the harm it does to
the children involved. With time-
ly counselling and the learning of
new skills, feuding parents can
realize what their behaviours are
doing to their children.
When high-risk youth are
helped in time as the non-profit
community service agency has
been doing for more than 20
years, the entire community ben-
efits when young people’s in-
volvement in the legal system is
reduced or eliminated.
A video and CD have been
made to launch the clinic’s
‘Seeds of Hope’ fund-raising
campaign. The video highlights
Jesse’s story as well as those of
two other young men.
“I’m not a loser,” Jesse says in
the video. “I’m going to make it
... You’ve (Durham family court
clinic) done so much for me.”

BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––The head
of the Durham Rape Crisis
Centre was “horrified” to
learn the owner of a comput-
er business that hosted the
agency’s Web site is charged
with gang sex assault and dis-
tributing child porn.
The Oshawa-based cen-
tre’s Web site was shut down
May 23 as a result of a police
investigation that has led to
the arrests of two Toronto
men.
One of the accused, Pern
Terry Rowe, 58, had operated
home-based modelling, pho-
tography and computer busi-
nesses, including Butler
Computer and Photo by
Rowe, Toronto Police say.
The investigation began
after a Toronto woman al-
legedly was drugged and sex-
ually assaulted, police said.
Members of Toronto’s
sex-assault, technical support
and child exploitation units
executed a search warrant at
the businessman’s residence
and seized numerous com-
puters and photographs, po-
lice said.
Among the computer ser-
vices provided by the suspect
was hosting Internet Web
sites, including the Durham
crisis centre’s. The sites were
shut down as a result of the
police seizure, said Detective
Howard Payton.
Linda Jackson, executive
director of the Durham non-
profit agency, said the centre
was offered free Web-hosting
services in April by a busi-
nessman who was a friend of
a client. The client, who de-
signed and operated the Web
site, was “devastated” to
learn of the arrests and
charges, Ms. Jackson said.
“(The suspect) had a well-
established business. It was
all done for free. We were de-
lighted. We had a lot of visi-
tors. It was being utilized,”
she said of the Web site,
which detailed services and
provided links to other agen-
cies.
Ms. Jackson said she was
“horrified” when police con-
tacted the centre last month
and explained the reason the
site went down.
“It’s heart-wrenching. My
first concern was for the
woman who had designed the
site. She was devastated,”
Ms. Jackson said.
Without a host, there are
no immediate plans to re-
launch the site.
“I’m afraid to, hesitant.
It’s in limbo,” Ms. Jackson
said.
The agency, which pro-
vides services to 500 to 700
clients a year, operates on an
annual $340,000 budget and
cost is a factor, she said.
Mr. Rowe is charged with
gang sexual assault, posses-
sion, import/distribution of
child pornography and fail to
comply with probation.
Luis Adolfo Gomez, 24,
also of Toronto, is charged
with gang sex-assault, pos-
session and making child
porn, administer a drug for
sex and fail to comply with
probation.

First smog
advisory
issued
DURHAM ––The arrival of hot,
summer weather has brought the in-
evitable with it –– a smog advisory.
The first advisory for this area
was issued Thursday, meaning
there’s a strong likelihood of polluted
air conditions within 24 hours. The
advisory covered all of southern and
eastern Ontario.
Ontario’s environment ministry
said the advisory arises out of the
combination of hot, sunny conditions
and southwesterly winds blowing air
pollution out of the United States
into Ontario.
More than half the province’s
smog-causing pollution comes from
the States.
Smog is a mix of pollutants, in-
cluding ground-level ozone.
In order to lower air pollution,
people are asked to restrict the use of
gas-powered equipment, use car
pools or public transit, avoid the use
of oil-based paints, solvents and
cleaners, turn off vehicles instead of
idling them for prolonged periods,
turn down the air conditioning and
avoid barbecuing.
People with heart or lung dis-
eases, including asthma, are advised
to take it easy and stay indoors as
much as possible. Other people
should avoid heavy outdoor exercise
especially during the day.
This spring’s cool, wet conditions
have kept pollution and smog at bay
until now.

PICKERING ––PineRidge Arts Council mem-

to both appreciate the works of art created and to
carve their own designs.
Amateur group out to
demonstrate importance
of radio operators
at Petticoat Creek
BY NICOLE MILLION
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —A local club is
connecting with the world.
For almost 75 years, amateur radio
operators have been participating in a
preparedness exercise.
This weekend, members of the
South Pickering Amateur Radio Club
are joining thousands of other ‘hams’
across North and South America in
practising emergency communica-
tions skills in the continents’ largest
ham on-air event.
According to Robert Partridge,
South Pickering’s field day co-ordi-
nator, the purpose of the 24-hour ex-
ercise is to get amateur radio opera-
tors to set up stations in emergency
conditions with battery or generator
power and antennas that are set up in
a field.
“It’s a time to hone skills by con-
tacting as many other stations in
North and South America,” he said.
Mr. Partridge said that since the
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, people
have become more aware of the im-
portance of amateur radio operators.
In disasters, telephone and cellular
communication systems often be-
come overloaded and fail.
He said that in such situations, the
need for groups such as the Pickering
radio club is
very important.
“Groups like
the Red Cross
and the Salva-
tion Army need
to communicate
to ensure that
their supplies
are moved to
front-line sta-
tions... they use
amateur radio
operators who
volunteer and
are trained for
this purpose,” he
said.
Mr. Partridge
added he hopes
days such as this
weekend’s event
will help raise
public aware-
ness of the need
for radio opera-
tors.
“They will be
able to see it
demonstrated,
and see its use-
fulness,” he
said.
Mr. Par-
tridge, who considers himself a Ham,
admits the original meaning of the
term is “lost in the myths of antiqui-
ty”, but is one used by operators to
describe each other.
“We do it for the love of it,” he
said.
The preparedness event runs by
the lake at Petticoat Creek Conserva-
tion Area at the foot of Whites Road,
Saturday, June 22 at 2 p.m. to Sunday
at 2 p.m.

Pickering Yacht Club
helps teens ‘build sense
of community’
BY NICOLE MILLION
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Come sail
away.
The Pickering Yacht Club has
begun a second year of programs
that provide area youth with a
“healthy and entertaining” learning
experience of marine culture and
sailing, said Pierre Langevin, flag
officer for the club’s youth group.
The classes, which run Mondays
from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Saturdays
from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to
12:30 p.m., are run by experienced
boaters and members of the yacht
club out of the East shore communi-
ty on Frenchman’s Bay.
Mr. Langevin, who served in the
Canadian Navy for more than 20
years, said the club raises money
through raffles and other fund-rais-
ers, with all the proceeds going to
running the program.
“We’re hoping to build a sense of
community with this youth group,
the same as they do with church
groups,” he said.
There is a registration fee of $50,
which Mr. Langevin said is for in-
structional materials.
The youth group’s vision and
mission is to enhance community
life by providing youth with an op-
portunity to gain experience in team
participation and leadership, devel-
op a spirit of volunteerism, gain a
new appreciation of marine life on
Lake Ontario, and learn about such
trades as Fiberglas boat and paint re-
pair.
For more information on the
youth group, call Mr. Langevin at
905-831-2382.

fresh in their memories.
‘Lord Durham Reflections’ is a

Former representative
Kathy LeFort returns
to serve Oshawa on
Catholic board
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s new
trustee is no stranger to the job.
The Durham Catholic District
School Board on Wednesday night
appointed Kathy LeFort as its eighth
trustee and second in Oshawa.
The Port Perry resident was the
board’s north Durham trustee for 12
years before opting not to run in the
November 2000 municipal election.
Ms. LeFort fills the vacancy creat-
ed when former Oshawa trustee Stan
Karwowski resigned last month.
Trustees at a special board meet-
ing needed just one secret ballot to
choose the veteran from a list of can-
didates.
Ms. LeFort said in an interview
her ties to the board and her experi-
ence, combined with “what (the
board’s) gone through in the last six
months,” a reference to the issue sur-
rounding gay Oshawa high school
student Marc Hall, prompted her to
step forward.
She believes she can add the
strength a rookie could not offer right
away.
“My history with the board and
my dedication, you can’t just walk
away, you take ownership of it,” said
Ms. LeFort. “When it became avail-
able, I felt I could hit the ground run-
ning.”
Currently the board’s Scugog li-
brary representative, she said she
would have to resign that post in
order to become a trustee.
Ms. LeFort said she too would
have voted not to allow Mr. Hall to
attend his high school prom with his
then boyfriend when he appealed to
the board.
A judge last month forced the
board to permit it.
Ms. LeFort said she was ap-
proached by a number of people,
“throughout the region, really”, urg-
ing her to seek the job. As for repre-
senting a new municipality, and a
much more populous one than she
did in the past, Ms. LeFort does not
see it as a challenge.
“I have a history with Oshawa and
have always felt I was a regional
trustee,” she said.
Board chairman Mary Ann Martin
was clearly pleased with the choice,
citing Ms. LeFort’s “experience, her
commitment to Catholic education
and her dedication to our school sys-
tem.
“I’m absolutely delighted that she
put her name forward and we as a
board certainly look forward to
working with her for the remainder
of the term.”
Trustees will make their choice of
Ms. LeFort official with a swearing
in at the Monday, June 24 board
meeting.
Trustees interviewed 11 candi-
dates prior to the board meeting and
when it came to a vote chose Ms.
LeFort by a simple majority. The re-
sult was not announced and the bal-
lots were destroyed.
Her appointment closes a circle of
sorts created when Ms. LeFort chose
not to run last election.
Fred Jones, an Oshawa resident
and former trustee there, was ac-
claimed as the board’s north Durham
trustee 18 months ago when no other
candidates came forward.
“It’s certainly different the way
it’s worked out, but it’s a regional
school board,” said Trustee Martin.
Trustee Jones joked at the meeting
maybe they would switch municipal-
ities.
Among those also interviewed for
the job were Jim Woodward, a former
board trustee who placed third in the
Oshawa Catholic trustee race in the
last election, and Thora Cowan, the
third-place finisher in 2000 in the
Whitby Catholic trustee race.

Soak Away The Worries of The Day in
your Diplomat Pool, Spa or Hot Tub
When the pressure is
on, we always long for that
vacation that will take us
away from everything. A
vacation that allows us to
recoup our sense of well
being and give us that much
needed break from stress.
The only problem is that
with a two week vacation, it
takes many of us several
days to unwind from stress
which cuts into our vacation
time and this stress builds
up again upon our return to
the real world. What we
need most is a mini vacation
every day.
Diplomat Pools and
Spas have been providing
people with mini vacations
for over 31 years by making
their backyard dreams a
reality. The addition of a
pool and spa can make stay-
ing at home seem like a
vacation. In your own pool,
you can let the kids play all
day in the water. Swim to
your hearts content.
Lie in sun and get a tan.
Float on a raft a gentle
breeze. Throw a party for
friends and family. With
your own spa or hot tub,
you can soak away the wor-
ries of the day - every day.
Soothe your tired muscles.
Feel your spirits lifted by
thousands of tiny invigorat-
ing bubbles. Catch up on
the lives of your loved ones.
Have some friends over for
a long talk and let work
seem like it’s miles away.
Visit Diplomat Pools and
Spas located at 637 Kingston

Was it forbidden
love? Many
questions abound
over aging box
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM —She’s
worried, impatient, unde-
cided, tempted and willing
to endure eternal damna-
tion as a sinner. She’s in
love.
The unknown author of
passionate love letters and
romantic poems held noth-
ing back in expressing her
feelings of affection. But
that is one of the few
known facts about the neat-
ly folded cache of poetry
and prose describing a long
ago love that found its way
to the Lake Ontario shore
in Oshawa one recent
sunny afternoon.
At first, Jocelyn Malloy
walked by the metal box
containing the amorous
treasure floating in the
water.
“It was Saturday, June
8,” recalled the nine-year-
old. “I was at my grand-
dad’s house near Renais-
sance Park with Lance the
dog and my sister Brooklyn
and we were walking along
the shore.
“I was the first person to
see it floating on the
water,” added the Grade 3
student. “The water was
clear, pretty clean. I looked
at it, then walked away
from it. Then I went back
and picked it up and shook
it. I didn’t really know... I
guessed maybe it was trea-
sure.”
Whoever carefully sol-
dered the copper box, seal-
ing for decades its contents,
must have treasured the pa-
pers inside. When Jocelyn’s
grandfather pried open the
six-by-five-inch container,
quite green from its watery
oxidation, 10 handwritten
pages of varying sizes were
revealed.
Slightly yellowed with
age but with dark blue in-
scriptions from a fountain
pen’s ink, the undamaged
pages tell of the writer’s
longing.
“When I’m writing to
you there is a very sweet
comfort in the thought that
you are sharing my worry,”
reads one letter. “It makes
it a whole lot easier — it
seems to me that to-mor-
row (sic) night will never
come... and in the hell of
indecision comes again
your voice, ‘We both are
strong enough to crush
temptation of the will.’ But
even as you speak your
dear eyes fill with tears so
that to leave you too seems
wrong. And if to kiss your
lips again were sin, then I
confess I have no wish to
win.”
Jocelyn said she is sure
the writer who filled the
mismatched odds and ends
of mostly bond writing
paper was a woman. There
are no indications of dates,
places or names. The only
clue indicating when the
letters were written is
found on one page. When
held up to the light, it is im-
printed by the maker’s
‘Green & Son 1930 Hand-
made’ transparent logo.
Another page reads,
‘Eaton, Crane and Pine...
Made in Canada.’ But the
mention of a phone number
gives tantalizing hope of
tracing the origin of the let-
ters.
“You were quite right
about the phone number,”
one of the letters said. “It is
Waverley 0055.”
“Waverley was a Toron-
to exchange,” confirmed
Charles Dowsling, an exec-
utive consultant with Bell
Canada. “But there were
three different areas (in-
cluding Toronto).”
The area served by the
Waverley exchange now
has three area codes: 416,
519 and 705, plus many ex-
changes. Even if the origi-
nal 0055 survived, it would
be difficult to determine the
correct exchange.
Roy Chow, a member of
‘The Telephone Exchange
Name Project,’ also con-
firmed Waverley was a pre-
fix for the Toronto area dur-
ing the first half of the last
century.
“The Waverley ex-
change was in use from
March 1901, when ex-
change names first ap-
peared in the Toronto
phone book,” said Mr.
Chow, a Toronto resident
whose hobby is to preserve
the past by documenting
telephone exchange names
around the world.
“The changeover from
Waverley to Empire 8 oc-
curred in March 1953,” he
continued. “I don’t know
whether the transition from
six to seven digits pre-
served the original four
digits (0055) after the ex-
change name, though. Cur-
rent reverse directory
lookups find no listings for
(such a number).”
So, the letters date back
at least 50 years and possi-
bly 70. With no names,
dates, addresses, or en-
velopes to give any hint as
to who wrote the 10 pages
of deeply felt affection, or
to whom, their washing
ashore into Jocelyn’s pro-
tection remains a mystery.
‘The Way That Lovers
Use,’ by the First World
War poet Rupert Brooke, is
one of the verses copied out
with the letter-writer
adding, “Rupert Brooke
wrote that little poem and I
think he was a very wise
young man.”
The love described in
the letters and accentuated
with romantic poems,
seems to be of the unrequit-
ed kind, save for a kiss. The
romantic duo met on
Thursdays and attended the
same church. The author
took a trip and consulted a
fortune teller, was a good
speller and used punctua-
tion and grammar well.
“ Was out to church last
night and petted the arm of
your pew... Did I tell you
that the fortune teller saw
romance in my cup?... The
most important day of this
week is Thursday.”
The anonymity of the
long-ago love remains as
intact as the letters describ-
ing it. They also ask more
questions than they answer.
Why was the box sealed
shut? Did the author cere-
moniously cast the memo-
ries of a lost love adrift
when she heard of the
other’s death? Or did feud-
ing families oppose the ro-
mance? Perhaps one of the
lovers simply let the other
down in some way. Maybe
one or both were already
married. Or was the box
buried on a beach where
the lovers watched the sun
set in happy times, released
by a storm that uprooted it,
sending the cherished con-
tents into Jocelyn’s care?
What does Jocelyn
think?
“It was pretty cool but it
smelled really, really
weird,” she said. “I think
it’s about poems and a girl
talking to someone. At the
end of (one letter) it said,
‘Just seeing you in the rain
— it just made everything
all right. Bye’.”

Hundreds of students take
part in World Youth Day
cross activities
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Drivers honked their
horns and people waved last week as
Catholic high school students carried
the World Youth Day cross through
south Oshawa to Lakeview Park.
The symbol of the Catholic youth
event taking place in Toronto next
month, the wooden cross was given to
the world’s young people by Pope
John Paul II, who urged them to “carry
it throughout the world as a symbol of
Christ’s love for humanity.”
The cross was on loan to the
Durham Catholic District School
Board for the day, and students from
the board’s high schools had the op-
portunity to do just what the Pope di-
rected, taking the cross along residen-
tial streets to the park where a liturgy
was held.
“It’s an amazing experience be-
cause this cross has been all over the
world and touched by millions of
Catholics,” said Brian James a Grade
12 student in Pickering.
The St. Mary Catholic Secondary
School student said area residents
looked out their windows and many
came out to touch the cross as they
walked.
“We would go by houses and
schools and people would be there
waiting for us,” said Mr. James.
He plans to make the most out of
World Youth Day.
“I’ll be there all week and I hope to
take part in as many activities as I
can,” said Mr. James.
The day began with a mass at Mon-
signor John Pereyma Catholic Sec-
ondary School in Oshawa. Grade 12
student Leanne Marshall said students
all got a chance to touch the cross, and
others went a step further, hugging and
even kissing it.
“I just thought it was a real honour
(to carry it),” she said. “It’s a true sign
of our Christianity” in that the faith in-
cludes and unifies people of all races,
noting, “young people are going to be
the church of the future.”
For Father Don MacLellan, it was a
“very, very moving” experience that
had special significance: retiring as
school chaplain after this school year,
it was his last mass at Pereyma.
“I love the staff and students,” said
Father MacLellan. “They were my ex-
tended family.”
Speaking with many of the students
after the mass, he said they had “a
sense of awe” in the presence of the
cross.
“As the classes were leaving, I
made them turn to each other and im-
print the sign of the cross on each
other’s forehead,” he said.
Wayne Gow, an OAC student at Fa-
ther Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary
School in Whitby, said people who
drove by the students honked their
horns and others waved as they
carried the cross.
“It was spiritually uplifting
because this cross has been
around the world and we have a
chance to carry it as a sign of our
faith,” said Mr. Gow.
He is volunteering at World
Youth Day in faith instructional
sessions for the physically dis-
abled.
Amanda Glass, an OAC stu-
dent at Archbishop Denis O’-
Connor Catholic High School in
Ajax, said it was special to
“share the experience of carrying
the cross” as Jesus Christ did.
“The (WYD) cross is actually a fair
bit smaller than the actual cross that
He carried,” she said. “It puts it in per-
spective for us.”
At the liturgy in the park, students
re-enacted the 12 Stations of the
Cross, when Christ was forced to carry
the cross on which he would be cruci-
fied. The dramatizations reflected on
each station and related them to con-
temporary events, people and atti-
tudes.
Ms. Glass said the overriding mes-
sage in the presentations was, “you are
not alone, your faith will get you
through.”
Sharron McKeever, the board’s reli-
gious education consultant, said fears
the liturgy would be washed out by
threatening rain quickly disappeared.
“It’s been phenomenal,” she said.
“It started out with us worrying about
the rain and we have completely forgot
about it.”
Ms. McKeever echoed the thoughts
of several students, who were amazed
the cross that has been all over Canada
and the world was before them.
The cross is scheduled to return to
Durham with stops in Oshawa July 9,
Whitby July 10 and Ajax July 11.

Staff Writer
DURHAM —Today is Na-
tional Aboriginal Day, pro-
claimed in honour of the cultures
and contributions to Canada by
First Nations, Inuit and Métis
peoples.
In celebration of this day,
members of the Durham Native
Cultural Centre are busy organiz-
ing this weekend’s fifth annual
powwow.
Described by co-ordinator
Pam Schreiber as “probably the
biggest family reunion you’ll
ever want to attend,” the tradi-
tional powwow takes place at
Durham College’s main campus,
2000 Simcoe St. N. on June 22
and 23, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The ‘grand entry’ takes place
at noon and feature elders, mem-
bers of the Ojibway, Cree, Mo-
hawk and Oneida bands, and es-
pecially, children in full tradi-
tional regalia.
“This year’s theme is honour-
ing our youth,” said Ms.
Schreiber, a well-known area
musician and the daughter of an
Ojibway mother and Swiss fa-
ther. Born in Sudbury, and raised
in Wawa, Ms. Schreiber moved
to Oshawa in 1991, eventually
becoming an active member of
the Durham Native Cultural Cen-
tre. “We see our children as our
most cherished gifts from the
Creator and our most important
investment for the future,” she
continued. “They learn by exam-
ple, experience and from being
included and shown love and re-
spect.”
The powwow is a historic
First Nations gathering not un-
like a family reunion on a large
scale. It’s been described as a so-
cial get-together, a joyous occa-
sion, a lot of fun, a time of learn-
ing and renewal, and an intense-
ly deep, spiritual experience. It
also offers natives and non-na-
tives alike, the chance to learn
more about the culture.
Traditional native crafts will
be available by vendors repre-
senting a variety of time-hon-
oured artistry. Everyone stands
during the ‘honour song’, host
drum will be Medicine Sky,
while arena director Joe Canoe
will help orchestrate afternoons
filled with singing and dancing.
The Native Cultural Centre is
a community-based organization
with a mission to deliver pro-
grams and services developed
for, but not restricted to, native
people. Admission is $2 and el-
ders and children are admitted
free. For more information, call
Rick at 905-576-8367 or Pam at
905-436-2356.

Summer
solstice
DURHAM —June 21
was chosen National Aborigi-
nal Day by the Canadian gov-
ernment because of the cul-
tural significance of the sum-
mer solstice (first day of sum-
mer and longest day of the
year) to many First Nations
people. Aboriginal groups
mark this day as a time to cel-
ebrate their heritage. By set-
ting aside a day, the proclama-
tion becomes part of the wider
recognition of Aboriginal Peo-
ples’ important place within
the fabric of Canada and their
ongoing contributions.
“It is an opportunity for all
of us to celebrate our respect
and admiration for First Na-
tions, for Inuit, for Métis — for
the past, the present and the
future,” said Governor General
Adrienne Clarkson.
Local National Aboriginal
Day events culminate in a tra-
ditional powwow at Durham
College this weekend.
Car, truck plants
at top of productivity
rankings
DURHAM —There’s more
good news for General Motors of
Canada’s plants in Oshawa.
The No. 1 car plant is the No.
1 plant in North America when it
comes to productivity. The ‘2002
Harbour Report’ lists the plant,
which makes the Chevrolet Im-
pala and Monte Carlo, at the top
of the list of all assembly plants.
The plant’s 2,500 employees pro-
duce a car in 16.79 hours, the
lowest time in 82 assembly plants
in Canada, the United States and
Mexico. Last year, the plant
placed third and was eighth two
years ago.
Earlier this spring, GM of
Canada president Michael
Grimaldi announced a third shift
will start at the plant later this
year due to the popularity of the
Impala.
The No. 2 car plant, with the
Buick Century and Regal, ended
up in sixth place at 18.47 hours.
Recently, the plant placed first in
highest initial quality in the J.D.
Power and Associates’ annual re-
port and the Century was tops in
quality in the mid-size segment.
The truck plant, which pro-
duces the popular Silverado and
Sierra, didn’t make the top 10
among all vehicles but was first in
the 11 full-size pickup truck
plants in North America. It takes
20.59 hours for the plant to pro-
duce a truck.
Harbour, a manufacturing con-
sulting and auto research team,
measures productivity by taking
the number of work hours for all
employees in a plant and dividing
the figure by the number of vehi-
cles made in a day. The Harbour
Report originated in 1989.
“Today’s Harbour Report rec-
ognizes that we are on a roll and
moving in the right direction,”
said Mr. Grimaldi last Thursday.
“Our goal is to be No. 1 in every
measure. With today’s announce-
ment from Harbour and Associ-
ates and last month’s Gold Quali-
ty Award from J.D. Power, GM
Canada’s plants have taken the
lead as the most productive and
highest quality plants in North
America.”
Mike Shields, president
of Canadian Auto Workers
Local 222, which repre-
sents GM’s employees in
Oshawa, also welcomed
the news.
“It pleases us but it’s
certainly not a big surprise
the way we’ve been mov-
ing up the last few years,”
he said.
Mr. Shields said the per-
formances should help the
union in bargaining for a
new contract this fall.
“It’s nice to go into bargaining
when we’re so productive and the
company is making money,” he
added.
This is the first time a GM
plant has been first in the North
American auto industry in assem-
bly productivity.

split-second thinking have earned
Brian Giffin of Pickering and Shaun
Gillespie of Whitby a St. John Ambu-
lance award.
Mr. Giffin and Mr. Gillespie, an
OPP officer, were on their first day of
vacation in Venezuela when they no-
ticed a woman being dragged into the
sea by an undertow. Mr. Gillespie and
Mr. Giffin, both strong swimmers,
barely managed to rescue her while al-
most becoming victims to the deadly
current themselves, fighting six- to
eight-foot swells.
“There were some young lads who
were trying to help the woman, but they
weren’t very strong swimmers,” said
Mr. Gillespie, who has received an
award from St. John Ambulance in the
past for rescuing someone from a house
fire while on duty. “In the end, Brian
and I got all four people into shore.”
There were no lifeguards around at
the time.
The two were at the Ontario Regi-
ment Armoury in Oshawa for the St.
John Ambulance annual general meet-
ing, where awards were presented to
various volunteers and civilians, hon-
ouring life-saving achievements.
“After it was over, we just sat on the
shore and didn’t want to look into the
water anymore in case somebody else
was out there,” joked Mr. Giffin, recall-
ing there was a moment when they
thought they might not make it back
alive. “We swam a lot in the pool after
that.”
“It’s an honour,” noted Mr. Gillespie
of receiving the award. “This is a great
organization.”
Keith Heaton and his staff at the
Great Blue Heron Casino had no idea
their training in CPR would end up sav-
ing two lives in one day.
Mr. Heaton, of Oshawa, who is a
training officer at the casino on Scugog
Island, along with fellow Oshawa resi-
dent Jason Hawkins, Angela Higgins, a
Nestleton resident, and another
Durham resident, Robert Donahoe, all
played a part in resuscitating two se-
niors within a 24-hour span while on
the job last Aug. 3 and 4.
Because of their experience, the four
casino employees can attest to the im-
portance of knowing how to revive
someone, and of having first-aid tools
such as a defibrillator in the work place.
“It’s really important,” Ms. Higgins
said. The chance of putting the training
into use, she said, isn’t as remote as one
might think. “One instructor told me
we will experience (a cardiac arrest) in
the first five years (on the job). For us it
wasn’t even five years.”
Casino employees are required to be
trained in CPR said Mr. Heaton, who
also instructs a St. John Ambulance
CPR course. He added Ontario casinos
must also have defibrillators, a device
that shocks the heart to get it beating
regularly again.
“We were the first casino to use a
defibrillator,” he said. “Since then, the
Ontario Lottery Gaming Corporation
started to get other casinos to use defib-
rillators as well, following our lead.”
The four administered first aid to a
cardiac arrest victim near a slot ma-
chine, and once more in the parking lot
of the casino a short time later.
“Every minute a person doesn’t
have that CPR, 10 per cent of their
heart dies,” said Mr. Heaton, who noted
ambulance response time to Great Blue
Heron is 22 minutes. “Every minute
does count. Without our training and
the AD (automatic defibrillator) on site,
there’s a good chance those people
wouldn’t be here today.”

DURHAM ––Although
they’re ladies, nobody rushes to
hold the door open for them.
Asian ladybugs, or lady beetles,
are unwelcome in most house-
holds. But they’re great for your
garden.
The doors of
Canada have
been open to
the insects
since their in-
troduction to
the U.S. over
the course of the
1900s. As their name
implies, they are originally
from Asia - Japan, to be precise.
The bugs were brought to North
America in an attempt to lower
aphid populations.
But with no natural predator
on the continent, their popula-
tion has exploded in recent
years.
Last year, it seemed like they
were taking over the region.
And with an abundance of food
still available for the tiny in-
sects, this year seems to be
starting out the same way.
“It’ll take a couple of years
to cycle,” says Doug Bulloch of
the Ministry of Natural Re-
sources.
The beetles,
he adds, “are ac-
tually very, very
helpful.” More
than a decade
ago, Mr. Bulloch
says, the insects
could be bought
in tubes to help
kill pests in gar-
dens.
Many farmers
like them, too. A
mature ladybug
can eat 50 to 270
aphids per day,
as well as mites,
eggs, and other
tiny pests.
Aphids suck the
sap out of plants,
and can spread
plant disease
with their excre-
ment.
“The bottom
line,” says Mr.
Bulloch of the
lady beetles, “is
they’re a good
insect.”
And despite
being perceived
as a nuisance, the
beetles don’t
bore holes in
walls, or lay eggs
in homes. But if
you smash them,
they usually
bleed a yellow,
smelly fluid,
staining carpets
and walls. It’s
called reflex
bleeding. It’s an
evolutionary trick to prevent
their species from becoming a
regular part of a predator’s diet.
And the bugs may bite, too.
“I’ve never been bitten by
them,” says Mr. Bulloch, “(but
Asian lady beetles) are a little
bit more aggressive than our
common ladybug.”
But their bite is no more than
a nip, he says, and it only hap-
pens when the insects are
threatened.
Mr.
Bulloch says
he remembers an out-
break of June bugs
about 25 years ago.
They would collect
“eight inches deep in
front of every store,” he
explains. But the cycle ran
its course, and now June bugs
are rarely seen, he says.
Loren Collins, of Lloyd Pest
Control Services, says many
people call to get the lady bee-
tles removed from their homes,
even though the insects aren’t a
real threat to the buildings.
But with no registered chem-
ical to use on the bugs, he says
the best way to get rid of them
is to vacuum them up, or make
sure your house is properly
sealed.
Proper screening and caulk-
ing around windows and doors
is recommended.
Also, people with light
colour exteriors on their houses
should expect more beetles in-
terested in their homes. The
beetles are drawn to light
colours, such as white, grey,
and yellow. The insects are
more apt to seek shelter in late
autumn, in preparation for win-
ter.
Because so many appear in
October, and with their orange-
red colour, Asian lady
beetles are often
called Halloween
beetles.
And many of
the insects get a
sweet tooth in
the fall. When
prey becomes scarce, they feed
on over-ripe fruit as a sugar
source. But they’re not alone in
this deviant behaviour; other in-
sects, like hornets, bees, flies
and ants, join in the feast.

Lady beetles help
clear up those aphids
Following are the new movie
releases being screened at local
cinemas this weekend.
MINORITY REPORT
Starring Tom Cruise,
Max von Sydow.
Directed by Stephen Spielberg.
Based on a story by famed sci-
ence fiction writer Philip K.
Dick, Minority Report is an ac-
tion-detective thriller set in
Washington, D.C., in 2054,
where police utilize a psychic
technology to arrest and convict
murderers before they commit
their crime.
Tom Cruise plays the head of
this pre-crime unit and is himself
accused of the future murder of a
man he hasn’t even met.
He must find out what brought
it about and stop it before it can
happen.
JUWANNA MAN
Starring Miguel A. Nunez Jr.,
Vivica A. Fox.
Directed by Jesse Vaughan
Jamal Jeffries is one basket-
ball star who stirs up heat both on
and off the court. This player’s
got game, girls and attitude to
spare.
But when one confrontation
too many gets him booted out of
the league, Jamal is going to need
a lot more than a good agent to
get him back on the courts.
Jamal’s only chance to get his
game back is to join up with the
other league –– the women’s bas-
ketball league.
With coerced support from his
reluctant agent and a heavily
padded sports bra, Jamal trans-
forms himself from the bad boy
of basketball to its newest female
role model: Juwanna Mann.
LILO AND STITCH
Animated
Combining whimsical, unfor-
gettable characters, an imagina-
tive and offbeat story, and colour-
ful artistry, Walt Disney Pictures’
delightful new animated comedy,
‘Lilo and Stitch,’ tells a captivat-
ing tale of a young girl’s close en-
counter with the galaxy’s most
wanted extraterrestrial.
Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl
who adopts a small ugly dog,
whom she names Stitch.
Stitch would be the
perfect pet if he weren’t
in reality a genetic ex-
periment who has escaped from
an alien planet and crash-landed
on Earth. Through her love, faith
and unwavering belief in ‘ohana’
(the Hawaiian concept of family),
Lilo helps unlock Stitch’s heart
and gives him the one thing he
was never designed to have ––
the ability to care for someone
else.

what’s playing this weekend, con-
tact your local cinema.

McDonald’s and Salads
I was very interested last night as I
watched CTV’s coverage of the story
of the Nutrition Council’s concern
about fast food (McDonald’s products
were clearly displayed). The fat
content was mentioned and also the
need for better low calorie nutritional
choices. I questioned why
McDonald’s would allow their
products to be displayed for a
somewhat negative press release on
the heart of it’s business. My question
was answered shortly as this story
was followed up by extensive
coverage of the introduction of the
Mcdonald’s salad program. It’s also
interesting that the Nutrition Council
picked this time for their press release
at the very same time that
McDonald’s was making a huge
media splash with it’s new salad
program.
What’s more interesting is that we
have been selling tremendously
successful salads for two years. Two
years ago DQ introduced the Crispy
Chicken salad. Response was huge.
During this year’s hockey playoffs we
introduced the Grilled Chicken salad.
Huge response again. DQ does it’s
homework. So much so that our
salads and chicken products are
rivaling our burger sales which are
big to begin with. Then Wendy’s
introduces it’s new salad program
and finally McDonald’s. Yet the press
makes no mention of the leadership
DQ showed in response to a need for
better tasting salads. That’s OK
though because our customers know
and the huge increase in our salad
sales more than compensates for the
lack of appreciation for the healthy
food choices our customers have.
This week I was walking around
our store at lunch asking our
customers how everything was and a
lady from one of the offices close to
our store had to tell me how much
she loved our grilled chicken salads.
She was emphatic that she purchases
one every time she comes in for
lunch. Many of the mothers who
come in with their children have our
salads. And don’t think guys aren’t
into our salads. Most of the men
from the offices upstairs have our
salads on a regular basis including
yours truly.
The GRILLED CHICKEN
SALAD is not just crisp lettuce, fresh
tomatoes, bacon pieces and shredded
cheddar cheese but also that flamed
broiled (not fried) all white breast
chicken fillet cut up into pieces and
still warm when we serve it! Top it
with our incredible HONEY
MUSTARD dressing and you have a
great tasting healthy salad! Also try
our flamed broiled GRILLED
CHICKEN and new SOUTH-

Elizabeth Loewen
prepares for concert
tour with National
Youth Orchestra
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
AJAX —An Ajax woman
is on pins and needles with
excitement as she prepares to
tour the world as a member of
the National Youth Orchestra
of Canada.
Next week, Elizabeth
Loewen, 19, leaves for
Kingston where she will
begin three weeks of intensive
rehearsals of up to eight hours
per day in advance of this
summer’s tour of Ontario,
Japan, China and Canada’s
west coast with the 90-mem-
ber orchestra, under the direc-
tion of conductor Kazuyoshi
Akiyama. It’s been a long
journey for the young violin-
ist in finally landing with the
Toronto-based youth orches-
tra. She had previously audi-
tioned at age 15 and 16. After
an audition in Toronto in late
January, she waited anxiously
for the word from orchestra
officials. More than 800 hope-
fuls auditioned at sites across
Canada.
“I had some very positive
feedback with the audition, so
I was very encouraged by
that,” said Loewen, a Picker-
ing High School graduate in
her first year of music perfor-
mance at the University of
Toronto’s faculty of music.
In March, she received
word she would be joining the
2002 orchestra, which in-
cludes musicians ages 15 to
24.
“I’m excited for the oppor-
tunity to do what I love to do.
I’ve always wanted to play in
an orchestra professionally,”
she said. “I’m glad for the op-
portunity to make some great
music with excellent players.”
The four-week tour kicks
off with concerts at Queen’s
University’s Grant Hall in
Kingston July 23 and 24, fol-
lowed by shows at the Nation-
al Arts Centre in Ottawa July
26 and at Toronto’s Centre for
the Arts July 30. In August,
the orchestra heads to Japan
for performances at the Pre-
fecture Arts Centre in Niigata
Aug. 4, the Narashino Con-
cert Hall in Chiba City Aug. 6
and finishes the Japanese leg
of the tour at the Bunka
Kaikan Hall in Tokyo Aug. 8.
The tour continues on to
Hong Kong for one perfor-
mance Aug. 11. The orchestra
returns to Canada for a con-
cert at Vancouver’s Chan
Centre Aug. 16 and completes
the tour at the University of
Victoria’s Farquhar Auditori-
um Aug. 18.
Loewen noted she’ll be
going into next week’s re-
hearsals somewhat blind.
That said, however, she’s
looking forward to the chal-
lenge. “I won’t see the music
at all until I get there. Even
more intimidating is not
knowing where I’ll be sitting
(among 26 violinists). But,
I’ve always loved the initial
rehearsal,” she said. “You get
the pure feeling of the music
out right away. It has never
been something that has
scared me too much; I kind of
like diving right in.”
Loewen has been around
music all her life, as her fa-
ther, Robert, is a musician and
singer. Her first instrument
was the cello, but after hear-
ing a violinist in nursery
school, it quickly became the
apple of her eye. She’s been
taking violin instruction for
the past 15 years.
“It hasn’t always been
easy. There were a couple of
times I almost dumped it all.
But, music has always been in
me and I love to play,” she
said.

P PAGE 38 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 21, 2002
This is the first season for the Eldorado
Golf Club and its the host of both the Eighth
Qualifying Site and the Championship on July
8th. So if you’ve already qualified or are still
trying, this is the course to visit.
This 9-hole executive course adds a little
Tex Mex flavour to your golfing experience.
From the beautiful southwestern decor in the
dining room to the unique ornaments throughout the links, this is a fun
but challenging place to chase that little white ball.
Manager Kim Jordan says there are two par fours and water comes
into play on many of the holes. The white sand bunkers can also trap your
ball. “Both beginners and experienced golfers are enjoying the course,”
she says.
Whether you play golf or just want a great meal Tex Mex style, their
talented chef will serve you up delicious fajitas, burritos, his famous Rico’s
Ribs and much more. The dining room and outdoor patio are fully
licensed
Golf Tip: The 5th hole has a left pin placement to the front of the
slightly elevated green with a bunker on the front. It will take a solid
shot but don’t think you’ll get a bump and run with that bunker in the
way. Go high and drop it in. A little backspin will help too.
“Good Luck.”
Kim Jordan
Manager
