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.

Accused admits he ‘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.” P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 21, 2002 Pickering votes against funding community groups in OMB battle PICKERING from page 1 Remember, we are the factory.Please visit our website at www.sleepfactory.com Please visit our website at www.sleepfactory.com SERVING DURHAM & KAWARTHA COMMUNITIES FOR OVER 24 YEARS! rrs TM FINANCING ACCEPTED PHONE ORDERS ACCEPTED Since 1978 Since 1978 Set $339 DOUBLE $229 Set $409 QUEEN $289 Set $499 KING $479 Set $799 COMFORT SLEEP Single Mattress $189 $249Set $419 DOUBLE $309 Set $489 QUEEN $369 Set $549 KING $519 Set $849 ORTHOPEDIC S/E Single Mattress DOUBLE $539 Set $779 QUEEN $599 Set $859 KING $769 Set $1249 ORTHO SUPREME $429Single Mattress Si n g l e M a t t r e s s e s fr o m $ 5 9 . 0 0 POCKET COIL S/E $389 DOUBLE $499 Set $729 QUEEN $579 Set $829 KING $709 Set $1089 Single Mattress • Bed Frame • Pillow Cases • Mattress Pad • Bed Rails • Sheet Straps • Comforter • Layaway • Pillow • Set-up • Disposal of Old Set • Pillow Protector • Percale Set of Sheets • Local Delivery NO PST & GST ONLY WITH ANY MATCHING MATTRESS SET PURCHASED OR Any 4 FREE CHOICES $15995PC.

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. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 21, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P LTD. NEW TO YOUR COMMUNITY OR RECENTLY HAD A BABY? Let Us Welcome You!

A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 21,2002 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’.

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.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 21, 2002 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. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com 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 Mary Kelcey Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com 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.

GROEN/ News Advertiser photo 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.” Mac users meet DURHAM ––The Macin- tosh Users East group meets Wednesday, June 26 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the lecture theatre at Whit- by’s Durham Skills Training Centre, 1610 Champlain Ave. Andrew Chong of Apple Canada is guest speaker. Call 905-433-0777. 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.

Durham Rape Crisis Centre Web site host faces sex charges 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 —The Pickering Public Library is looking to make this sum- mer a fun one for kids.

PICKERING ––PineRidge Arts Council mem- ber Susan Lindo put her skills to use at the foot of Liverpool road recently as part of a sand sculpture event for local residents. Several people turned out 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. For more information on the South Pickering Amateur Radio Club, check out its Web site at members.rogers.com/ve3spc/.

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.

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.

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’.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 21, 2002 PAGE 23 P WEST PICKERING 300 Kingston Rd.

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.

BY JANE McDONALD 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. — WITH FILES FROM TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE A/P PAGE 26 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 21, 2002 416-569-8826 • Minor Dents & Dings • 1 / 3 t h e C o s t o f B o d y S h o p R e p a i r • No Body Work or Painting Req’d • S A V E $ o n L e a s e R e t u r n • Mobile Service • P r i c e s f r o m $ 1 0 0 , S p e c i a l R a t e s for Additional Dents PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL At Durham Secondary Academy, successful learning is a priority.

Pickering man, friend among those recognized by St. John Ambulance BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM —Sheer courage and 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.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 21, 2002 PAGE 27 A/P OAKRIDGE THE Golf Destination in Durham From Port Perry:905.985.8390 From 416 area code:905.649.6212 www.golfoakridge.com 4 km. south of Utica, 4 kms. north of Ashburn off Ashburn Road..

BY JEREMY LE PAGE Staff Writer 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.

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.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 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!

Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 21, 2002 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.

Kurtis Miller, 16, Nicole Sabourin, 17, and Warren Barnes, 16, all members of the Scarborough Swim Club, fly to Los Angeles in July before making their way to Mission Viejo in Southern California where they’ll compete in the 2002 TYR Swim Meet of Cham- pions. The 12 swimmers from Scarborough Swim Club face tough competition from U.S. athletes and sev- eral other countries.

To prepare for the meet, the athletes have been training approximately 22 to 25 hours per week, be- fore and after school. After the meet, the team will train in the outdoor 50- metre pool in the Califor- nia sunshine for one week. Upon returning to Canada to finish up their season, the team will travel to Que- bec for the Quebec Cup and Eastern Cup competi- tions. The competitive season ends with participation in the Canadian Nationals in Victoria, B.C. Pickering swimmers, from left, Warren Barnes, Nicole Sabourin and Kurtis Miller will travel with their Scar- borough Swim Club teammates to a prestigious meet in Mission Viejo, California. The three swimmers also plan to compete in several high-profile Canadian meets.

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 Eighth Qualifying Site 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, June 24 Eldorado Golf Club Hole # 5 WHITBY • OSHAWA Ajax/Pickering The Community Newspaper since 1965 RULES QUALIFYING SITE PRIZES • Hole in One wins a Buick Golf Bag courtesy of Cliff Mills Motors. • 1st, 2nd & 3rd wins...
