Ex-Crown subject of OPP probe Allegations of misappropriation of funds at heart of investigation Hospital fire forces evacuation Wednesday afternoon blaze contained to roof area BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital became the scene of an emergency Wednes- day rather than a refuge from one. A blaze in the venting system forced the evacuation of some pa- tients, non-essential staff and vol- unteers for about three hours. “We evacuated all ambulatory patients out of the emergency de- partment and non-urgent patients sitting in the waiting room or in the treatment room,” said hospital spokesman Katie Cronin-Wood. The fire was in the roof area See HOSPITAL page 7 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A Durham Region prosecutor, who recently resigned, is expected to be charged Monday after an OPP probe into alleged misappropriation of charitable donations arising from criminal plea-bar- gains. The decision to lay criminal charges follows a year- long police investigation, the News Advertiser has learned. Bryan Davies, an assistant Durham Crown attorney for the past eight years, was suspended by the Ministry of the Attorney General last year, after the allegations surfaced, justice sources said. “We can confirm we anticipate charges being laid Monday. However, we’re not fully aware of the entire extent of the allegations,” Oshawa lawyer Bernie O’Brien, who has been retained by Mr. Davies, said when contacted Wednesday. A first court appearance has been scheduled for July 23, he said. Mr. Davies resigned in March, citing health rea- sons, several months after the OPP began probing fi- nancial irregularities involving a trust fund he over- saw. A senior OPP officer confirmed the investigation, but details were not expected to be released until next week. “All I can tell you is we are conducting an investi- gation into allegations of misappropriation of funds from private trust accounts, involving an assistant Crown attorney in the Durham Region Crown Attor- ney’s office,” said Detective Inspector Cliff Strachan. The prosecutor’s “position as a Crown is relative to the investigation,” he said. The ministry requested the investigation in July 2001, said Det. Insp. Strachan, of the Orillia-based criminal investigations branch. Two investigators are assigned to the probe. In an interview, Mr. Davies acknowledged the OPP BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —Forty-nine townhouses have been approved for two vacant lots at Church Street and Delaney Avenue, over the objec- tion of one resi- dent concerned about safety. Horne Avenue resident Marilyn Dunnill said if there was an emergency while she was in her backyard, there would be no way to escape. Ms. Dunnill’s home backs onto one of the lots where John Boddy Develop- ments will build the homes. “When I bought, I was told there would be condominiums back there,” she told Ajax coun- cil’s community affairs and plan- ning committee Monday. Council approved the de- cision following the committee meeting. “Somehow, there should be good access (out of) the backyard.” Boddy plan- ning consultant Bob Cutler said the townhouses are “identical to what (surround- ing residents) have and those sold well.” Most sur- rounding home- owners are “happy there’s no apartments com- ing”, he added. Ajax planner Renrick Ashby said, “These lands were origi- nally designated high density. This type of develop- ment is less of an impact to existing residents.” Ed Boddy noted most near- by residents would be against a high-rise build- ing. Having a six- storey building “in my opinion, typically would have a negative impact” on the property values of adjacent homes, Mr. Boddy stated. “There’s a lack of privacy.” Ms. Dunnill also pointed out the only way some townhouse owners could get from the front yard to the back would be through the interi- or of the unit. But, Mr. Cutler said to have a path from the front to the back “takes three feet of us- able space out of the house. “Three feet is a lot to lose.” When questioned if a lane-way could be included between homes on the Boddy lands and Horne Avenue homes, Ajax planner Dave Meredith said, “We strongly urge against it,” noting it would attract teenagers and cause more problems than it would solve. Mr. Boddy said he hopes to start con- struction this year.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alterna- tives, in a report released last Thursday, says despite claims by the Education Min- istry that education funding has increased during the Tory government’s term of of- fice, it has declined by over $2 billion when school boards’enrolment growth, inflation and increased costs are taken into account. “Analysis of school board funding for 2002-03, including the (education funding) formula improvements an- nounced in the budget, shows that funding for elementary and secondary education on a real, per-student basis has been cut by more than $2.2 and $2.5 billion under the Conservative government,” states the report. “That is, accounting for enrolment change and cost increases, 2002-03 funding would have to be increased by more than $2.2 billion to match its 1994, pre- Mike Harris level.” The report also blasts the funding formula as “inflexi- ble”. Education Ministry spokesman Pat Nelson said in an interview that, since taking office, the new premier and edu- cation minister “have found an addi- tional $560 million for education in the province. “This comes at a time when the government faced a number of diffi- cult decisions this year.” He added enrolment growth is slated at just 0.4 per cent in the next school year. Mr. Nelson said the report “chooses to ig- nore that since 1998, the government has provid- ed $1.1 billion in one- time funding outside of the funding formula. “We’re pretty confi- dent in our numbers. The significant increases are there on paper and in budget documents.” The report lists win- ners and losers in the funding formula, with large, public boards in southern Ontario taking the biggest hits and northern, French-lan- guage and Catholic boards generally bene- fiting. According to the re- port, the Durham Dis- trict School Board is re- ceiving $343 less per student next year than it did in 1997. However, the Durham Catholic District School Board is on the other side of the ledger, with per pupil funding up by $169. Representatives at Durham’s two school boards have complained the funding formula does not provide them with enough money to run their systems. Last month they warned of severe cuts to pro- grams in the 2003-04 school year if they do not receive more provincial money. The boards used a total of roughly $19 million in reserves to finalize their budgets this year. David Visser, business superintendent at the Durham Catholic board, said he had not seen the report and could not comment. Ron Trbovich, his counterpart at the Durham public board, said while the board is definitely underfunded, he had problems with the findings. “On the basis of this report, I can’t sup- port the notion that this is the way it should be,” he said. The report looks at funding levels before the introduction of the Province’s education funding formula, said Mr. Trbovich. At that time, school boards had the ability to gener- ate their own money locally by raising edu- cation taxes, in addition to receiving provin- cial grants. As a result, more populous, urban boards could raise more money than their rural counterparts, the main reason why the funding formula was introduced, to create fairness. Mr. Trbovich said the report makes the assumption that what boards were spending before the funding formula was introduced in 1998 was appropriate, and that all boards were on a level playing field. “That starting point wasn’t really equi- table,” he said. Mr. Trbovich said he is working on a re- port to determine what the public board should be receiving from the Province. The report is to be presented to the Education Equality Task Force, currently conducting an independent review of the funding for- mula.

Public, Catholic school boards state their case with Elizabeth Witmer BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Local educa- tion officials recently met with the new education minister, ex- pressing the common needs of the Durham public and Catholic school boards. Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, in an interview said she had been trying to arrange a meeting since Elizabeth Witmer assumed the position almost three months ago. When the op- portunity presented itself, a June 27 meeting, she said she invited Durham Catholic District School Board representatives to attend as well. Trustee Roy, education direc- tor Grant Yeo, and their counter- parts at the Catholic board, chairman Mary Ann Martin and education director Grant An- drews, attended the meeting at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “We focused on the relation- ship between our two boards and what has been implemented and shared over the past years,” Tr ustee Roy said in an interview. “I must say that her initial reac- tion was very impressed to see that the two boards came togeth- er.” “We then discussed that we have balanced our budgets but are very concerned that as boards that have been fiscally responsible, in the future years we will have problems. Future budgets may entail addressing programs. “We discussed that with the salary scales of both boards that we are having difficulties in re- taining staff and that this fall we both have to hire a great number of teachers.” The education representatives also raised the issue of the need for more special-education funding, especially the intensive support amount component, where both boards feel they should be receiving more money from the Province. While she said the foursome didn’t really get any answers from the minister and her staff, “we had a voice, notes were taken and I think we left a very good impression of the two boards.” Neither Trustee Martin nor Mr. Andrews were available to comment.

Durham boards meet education minister in bid for funds We’re onine at durhamregion.com Is our society too politically cor- rect? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding yes. As we near the first anniversary of the horrific events of Sept. 11, one would think people would have reorganized their priori- ties. Yet people still get offended over the most minor things. As I sit here, writing this column, I have used the delete button more than a dozen times in trying to come up with an example. My problem: each one that comes to mind will of- fend someone if I put it to paper. I’ll try a couple, but please bear in mind (before you flood the newspaper with hate mail) this is an opinion column. I think a person should have opin- ions, just not to be so opinionated that one becomes offended about every little thing. People used to be able to tell slightly off-colour jokes without being accused of sexual ha- rassment. Oddly enough, blonde jokes and Newfie jokes are still con- sidered acceptable. I know a man who was afraid to tell his co-worker a simple “you look nice today” for fear of repercussions. People are timid to say ‘Merry Christmas’ anymore. We say ‘happy holidays,’or we say nothing. I under- stand, and respect, there are different religions, and that not everyone cele- brates Christmas. However, most people do, and those who don’t are not generally thrown into a tizzy when someone tells them to have a good Christmas. The sickening thing is we are force-feeding this political correct- ness upon our children, effectively stripping them of their wonderful out-of-the-mouths-of-babes inno- cence. Schools now enforce a hands- off policy. Don’t get me wrong, I think that is great... to a degree. I, personally, think they’ve gone over- board with the approach. Children need to be able to feel they can play games like tag without being expelled. It is in the hands-on environment of the schoolyard where children learn social graces and cop- ing skills. We used to play with hock- ey sticks (now considered a potential weapon by school boards) and kiss- ing tag. Heaven forbid that should occur now. A display of affection by a teacher to a student is construed as something sinister. Now, I’m certainly not saying we should revert to being Neanderthals; tact must prevail. I just cannot be- lieve people would want to waste precious time stressing out over the little things that, in the grand scheme of it all, are inconsequential. We all know what stress can do to a person. Live life lighter, and you’ll live life longer. And happier! We don’t have to be Neanderthals... But we have to get away somewhat from this new age of political correctness Road name battle has long history — in the movies To the editor: Re: ‘Salem or HMS Ajax’, July 7. It was interesting reading about the new road being named either Salem or HMS Ajax. The history of HMS Ajax — the town of Ajax took its name from the British warship involved in the first major Allied victory. The Ajax, Exeter and Achilles defeated the Graf Spee in 1939 as part of the Battle of the River Plate. What a coincidence that in the movie ‘Battle of the River Plate’, the Graf Spee was played by the USS Salem CA 139.

Editorial &OPINIONS AJAX NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 12, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Oh, it’s a good time to be alive and living and working in Durham Region. That’s not just a cliché emanating from the Durham Region chairman’s office; the numbers back it up. Whether it be added shifts at the region’s largest employer, General Motors, or solid employment numbers that have im- proved since a slight downturn last year, or the construction of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), or the need to buy or sell a house, things could hardly be better. GM workers will be keeping an eye on Canadian Auto Work- ers president Buzz Hargrove as he gets down to the nitty-gritty of contract negotiations with management. With General Motors doing tremendous business and Oshawa producing the best- made automobiles in North America, it’s in everybody’s best in- terest to cut a fair deal and keep the motor running in high gear. Employment numbers across the country have been solid. Some 300,000 Canadians have found work since the beginning of the year, a rebound after a stagnant 2001. In fact, the Canadi- an employment rate has risen by a robust two per cent in 2002 alone, an excellent figure considering the North American gloom last fall. Durham’s fortunes received a huge lift with the official leg- islative confirmation of UOIT, to be built at the Durham College campus. A massive construction project employing many is cur- rently under way. UOIT is expected to be open and ready to ac- cept its first class of students by September 2003. Finally, Durham has a university to call its own, with fabulous opportu- nities for local high school graduates to attend a state-of-the-art university close to home. The housing market has been excellent, which should come as little surprise. New developments are constantly going up in Clarington, Oshawa, and Whitby with annual growth across the region expected to nearly double over the next 20 years. In 2001, home sales were up over 12 per cent over 2000 numbers and re- altors in Durham are suggesting 2002 could be even better. Buy- ers are finding mortgage rates are the lowest they’ve been in 40 years, so making a purchase now is as good a time as any. And with demand for homes high, sellers are getting the best prices they’ve asked for in years. The average selling price for homes in Durham (excluding Brock and Uxbridge) increased to $187,480 in 2001 from $179,300 in 2000. And prices, spiked by demand, were even higher this year. It’s not hard to see why Durham remains one of the most pop- ular, fastest-growing places in Canada. Let the good times continue to roll.

The fire was contained to “the roof area, the venting for the boilers,” Ajax Deputy Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said Thursday. “It appears to be a malfunc- tion in the exhaust that caused it to overheat. The fire damage was fairly minimal.” Ashlee Riddell and Stephen Mans- field were waiting for an appointment in the first-floor fracture clinic, near the emergency department. “There was a staff alarm and the whole code red thing,” Ms. Riddell said. People were told to leave and “that’s what they’ve done,” she added. “Smoke was detected in the building and they said to get out till it’s found.” Mr. Mansfield hurt his foot on the weekend and was at the hospital to have a cast put on. Victoria Tucker of Oshawa was at the hospital after hurting her toe earli- er Wednesday. “I was waiting to get pills and an X- ray,” she said. Ms. Tucker was at the hospital with son Alexander, who was born there 12 weeks earlier. “The doctor just saw me and I was waiting for X-rays. I heard code red three times. I asked what it was and they said it was a fire,” Ms. Tucker stated. “A nurse came and said ‘we need to get you out’.” Zack Graham-Singh of Ajax was at the hospital with his mother Wilma, having hurt both ankles Tuesday while playing tag at the Ajax Community Centre. By Wednesday Zack, 10, was having trouble walking. “I was sitting (in the emergency de- partment) and relaxing. I smelled rub- ber burning and they said ‘code red, code red, code red, emergency’,” Zack said. “I didn’t even know what that meant. My mom helped me out.” Ajax Fire and Emergency Services Platoon Chief Dave Lang said Wednesday there was light smoke and firefighters were checking smoke- stacks to “make sure there’s no prob- lem. “We asked anybody walking around, waiting, to leave. Everybody else we left alone.” Ms. Cronin-Wood said the operating room was shut down during the incident, although there was only elective surgery scheduled. “As soon as the all-clear was given, the operating room sprang into action,” she added, noting no in-patients were evac- uated. Operations personnel at the hospital have to evaluate the damage before a dollar figure can be put on it, she stated. “Staff was wonderful and to- tally prepared. They performed amazingly well,” she said.

He did say, “I’ve co-operated completely with anyone with an interest in this matter.” Mr. Davies said his resignation was related to medical problems. The investigation centres around a high-profile prosecution two years ago that saw more than a dozen society women charged with participating in an illegal pyramid scheme, the News Adver- tiser has learned. Sources confirm the probe also focused on alleged donations to the W. Bruce Affleck Trust Fund as part of plea-bargain deals struck in the pyramid prosecution. The trust fund, used to create a Durham College scholarship in memory of the legendary Oshawa lawyer, originated with money from a fund-raiser in honour of local lawyer Terry Kelly’s 65th birthday six years ago. Mr. Davies was director of the fund, although there were original- ly three administrators when it was created. More than 20 women in the re- gion were charged in 1999 in the money pyramid scheme. The case resulted in many prominent women pleading guilty to participating or operating an il- legal scheme. As part of the resolutions, they received conditional discharges in exchange for making financial contributions to local charities, which were approved by the Crown. Mr. Davies was the Crown in charge of the pyramid prosecution. Among the allegations are that two of the approved donations, to- talling $30,000, were made to the W.B. Affleck trust fund, and that those monies were misappropriat- ed. In a 1999 interview, Mr. Davies said approximately $300,000 had been donated to local charitable organizations by way of the pyra- mid pleas. Calling them “community- based crimes,” Mr. Davies said it was appropriate the accused give to charity as a way of paying back society. It’s alleged a portion of the money in question, about $5,000, was given to a sexual assault vic- tim to help with her college tu- ition, sources said. Detective Sergeant Peter Nau- mienko, a Durham Regional Po- lice officer who headed the pyra- mid investigation, refused to com- ment on the OPP probe. Several local defence lawyers, who represented clients involved in the pyramid schemes, have been interviewed by the OPP as part of the investigation. “Their main focus was diver- sions involving” cases prosecuted by Mr. Davies, said one lawyer who was interviewed. “They wanted to know what di- versions we had with Bryan,” he said. Another lawyer, speaking on the promise of confidentiality, said it is common for criminal cases in- volving relatively minor charges, usually drug possession, to be re- solved prior to trial by way of ‘di- version.’ Diversion usually involves an accused person performing com- munity volunteer work or making a charitable donation. In exchange, the Crown drops the charges. The process helps reduce the logjam in the courts. All the money from the W. B. Affleck Trust Fund has been turned over to Durham College, which administers the scholarship. It is the second time in recent months a high-profile member of the Durham Region Crown’s Of- fice has been the subject of a po- lice investigation. John Scott, the Region’s senior Crown attorney, was charged by Durham police earlier this year with impaired driving causing bodily harm and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident. He pleaded guilty last month to a Highway Traffic Act charge of careless driving and the criminal charges were withdrawn. It is not the first time Mr. Davies has been the focus of an in- vestigation into misappropriation. In 1994 while in private prac- tice, Mr. Davies was found guilty by a Law Society of Upper Cana- da discipline committee of profes- sional misconduct for misappro- priating $58,000 in client funds. According to the report and de- cision of the Discipline Commit- tee, the money was used to support a failing business investment and advance funds to a client. He also improperly borrowed $50,000 from a client, violating professional rules, to “fulfil an obligation to a friend,” the report said. According to the Law Society decision, Mr. Davies, who was called to the bar in 1984 and was a partner in the Port Perry firm Fowler Davies, admitted “that he had misappropriated monies from one client to advance funds to an- other client.” He took $5,000 from the client trust account to give to the manag- er of an Oshawa bar in which he was an investor, and used smaller amounts to pay entrance fees for basketball tournaments for the team he coached, the decision said. None of the misconduct was motivated by greed nor resulted in financial gain to Mr. Davies, the committee found. Rather, the wrongdoing caused him “significant financial loss.” Mr. Davies made complete restitution. In the ruling Chairman Joan Lax said the misconduct occurred “during a period when Mr. Davies was suffering from a medical con- dition that can cause impaired judgement.” He was diagnosed with manic depression, a biochemical condi- tion that requires medication, and “the conduct is explained by the mental illness.” In August 1993, after voluntari- ly withdrawing from practice while waiting disciplinary pro- ceedings, he was hired as a part- time Crown. The committee said the normal punishment for misappropriation is disbarment. However, noting “extenuating circumstances,” the committee ac- cepted a joint submission that he be suspended one year, and upon reinstatement “permitted to prac- tise law, but only as a Crown attor- ney.” He was later hired as a full-time prosecutor. Calling the conduct “aberrant,” Chairman Lax said Mr. Davies was being treated for his condition and was unlikely to repeat the mis- conduct. “Mr. Davies is a valued and re- spected member of the legal pro- fession... As a part-time Crown at- torney Mr. Davies practices law in a structured and supervised setting and does not handle trust funds. If permitted to continue in the profession he proposes to continue to practice as a Crown attorney. “I do not hesitate to conclude the public is well-protected,” Chairman Lax said. Mr. Davies was regarded by Crown and defence colleagues as one of the region’s top prosecutors and handled a large share of major cases. In recent years he specialized in prosecuting Internet child pornog- raphy cases. In 1998 Mr. Davies and Greg O’Driscoll successfully prosecut- ed the Balaclava Bandits, two men convicted of the Gagnon Sports gun shop robbery and double-mur- der. In 2000, the Durham Regional Police Service conducted an inten- sive three-month investigation after learning of a suspected plot to murder Mr. Davies, who also is an active community volunteer and girls’ basketball coach. Mr. Davies was put under round-the-clock police protection, and the criminal investigation led to 15 arrests and dozens of drug and weapons trafficking charges.

Ajax gets ready for arrival of U.S. retailer Electronics firm Best Buy scheduled to open this fall AJAX —Get ready Ajax, Best Buy says it’s moving in at the in- tersection of technology and life. Best Buy Co., a specialty re- tailer of technology and enter- tainment products, announced plans to open eight stores in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) this year, including a new 30,000- square-foot store at Hwy. 2 and Harwood Avenue. Scheduled to open this fall, the Ajax location will be one of the first to open in Canada and out- side of the United States. “We are committed to bringing the Best Buy shopping experi- ence to the Canadian consumer. The new stores will provide con- sumers with the ultimate techno- tainment shopping experience,” said Mike Pratt, vice-president of store operations. “We look for- ward to providing the GTA with affordable, high-tech consumer electronics and entertainment products that make life easier and more fun.” Officials say the store will em- ploy approximately 120 full- and part-time employees in cashier, customer service, non-commis- sioned sales, music-software, stocking-shipping-receiving, technicians-car installation, prod- uct security and department su- pervisor positions.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Durham Regional Police, in co- operation with the Canadian Recording Industry Association’s (CRIA) anti- piracy office, seized the discs July 7. They are valued at about $20,000 “It’s a copyright infringement,” ex- plained RCMP Sergeant Michael O’Hare of the Toronto East Detachment in Bowmanville. Sergeant O’Hare said discs have been seized in the past at flea markets, but did not know if police had recovered any at the Pickering Flea Market before. “Other flea markets are being checked; it’s a continuous sort of thing,” he said. CRIA applauded the police agencies “in following through with this investi- gation. “No royalties were paid on the CDs seized by police in this case,” said Ken Thompson, CRIA vice-president and general counsel, in the RCMP press re- lease. The CRIA says worldwide sales of pirated sound recordings were roughly $6.5 billion in 2001. David Umezurike, 43, of Toronto, and Conrad Blackwood, 36, of Bramp- ton, are charged.

Normally interchange pro- jects are financed 100 per cent by the Province but the Region agreed in 1999 to fund 22 per cent of the cost as a way to kick-start construction. Other- wise the interchanges would not have been constructed in the foreseeable future. The municipalities of Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa each agreed to pay an additional 11 per cent on the highway ramps in their municipalities. But since then, costs have contin- ued to escalate. When they hit $29 million this spring, the Re- gion called on the Province for an explanation and assurances there would be no more sur- prises. The deal was struck last week between Minister of Transportation Norm Sterling, Durham Chairman Roger An- derson, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond and Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle. It ensures completion of the Ajax inter- change currently under con- struction east of Harwood Av- enue and secures the future of another on the Ajax-Whitby border at Lakeridge Road and a third in Oshawa at Stevenson Road. “I think it’s fair to say everyone was pretty happy when we signed it (in 1999). I don’t think anyone is happy how it turned out but at least it’s capped now,” said Mr. An- derson at a meeting Wednes- day, where council reluctantly voted to approve the new agreement. The Region’s commitment on the Ajax interchange, the most ambitious project, will be capped at $20.3 million while the Stevenson interchange will cost $6.6 million and Lak- eridge $7 million. The Region requested the cap be set at $29.2 million but in a letter to Mr. Anderson June 27, the minister said, the $33.9 million “reflects the current es- timates for the projects and is more indicative of the true costs that will be incurred in providing the interchanges”. He noted the Province’s own costs have risen to $84.1 mil- lion from the original estimate of $31.2 million. Durham MPP John O’Toole, who also attended the meeting with the minister and local politicians, said the costs have risen for a number of reasons, including changes made by the Province and municipalities. As well, “the original costs were done on very preliminary information. There were no en- gineering drawings. It was like signing an open cheque. I total- ly support the accountability framework the Region want- ed,” he said. Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia- mond asked council to support the deal despite the increase. Oshawa “will be at the table”, because the interchange is just too crucial to the Region’s economy to walk away from. As well, she added, Durham did agree to share the costs of the interchanges and the Province has already spent money preparing for the con- struction of the Stevenson and Lakeridge interchanges. “As a Region we have to keep our word,” she said. But Pickering Councillor Mark Holland, who voted against the deal, disagreed. “This is some 95 per cent in ex- cess of our original commit- ment. Our word was for $17.4 million, not $33.9. This sets an abysmal precedent,” he said. The Province has put Durham in a “trick box”, added Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt who said he will “reluctantly support” the deal but noted, “the rest of the Province would not put up with what Durham has had to put up with.” He suggested other parts of the province receive more prefer- ential treatment in access to in- frastructure. “I’ll support it, but by God never get into this again.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said he was only given two days’ notice of the meeting with the Province and could not attend. He has “very, very serious concerns with the deal” and the repercussions it could have for Ajax. “Capping is only one solu- tion. There are many, many items that should be taken out by the Region and Ajax,” he said, noting the Province had unilaterally made upgrades to the project, including lane ad- ditions and more costly light- ing the municipalities and Re- gion should not be charged for. By contrast, Whitby Mayor Brunelle called the deal a “good job” on the part of Mr. Anderson. The Stevenson project is ex- pected to begin in 2003 fol- lowed by Lakeridge later that year or 2004, said Mr. O’Toole. ROGER ANDERSON ‘I don’t think anyone is happy how it turned out but at least it’s capped now.’ DURHAM —The Durham public school board’s chairman is still hoping to appear before the Education Equali- ty Task Force. The task force, led by University of Guelph president Dr. Mordechai Rozanski, is conducting an indepen- dent review of the Province’s education funding formula for publicly-funded schools. The review will include a look at how effective the model is for fund- ing the range of school boards in the province, how much local spending flexibility boards should have, and the formula’s cost benchmarks structure. When the Durham District School Board finalized its budget last month, trustees approved a letter to Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer, requesting an opportunity to make a presentation to the task force “to ensure that the con- cerns of the (board), and the con- stituents it serves, are heard and ad- dressed”. Whitby Trustee and board chairman Elizabeth Roy said she hasn’t received a reply. Joe Corey, an Oshawa trustee on the Durham Catholic District School Board, in an interview said he was “90 per cent sure” the board would also try and address the task force. Ontario Premier Ernie Eves earlier this year pledged an immediate review of the formula. Public sessions are to take place in September in Toronto, Ottawa, Barrie, London, North Bay and Thunder Bay.

Young people from Picker- ing, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa are part of the choir, which is being managed by Oshawa resident Harold Marcotte. “They are thrilled about representing the young people of Canada before the world,” he said. “They have travelled into Toronto every Wednesday night since last September, preparing together to perform some of the most beautiful music ever written. “This says something spe- cial about the youth of Durham Region and we can be proud of them.” The choir will perform at the Molson Amphitheatre, along with an 80-member symphony orchestra and sever- al Canadian soloists, including baritone Russell Braun and mezzo-soprano Nina Scott- Stoddard. Local residents can take in the choir on July 20 at a dress rehearsal at the Civic Auditori- um, Thornton Road South, Os- hawa, beginning at 8 p.m. The doors open at 7 p.m. “The public is welcome to attend free of charge,” Mr. Marcotte said. “In the spirit of the entire festival, we are ask- ing the public who attend to make a donation in lieu of an admittance fee and to bring non-perishable food items that we will distribute to local food banks.” The choir will also perform as part of the closing mass for World Youth Day, which runs from July 22 to 28.

Car talks set to rev up between GM, autoworkers Current contract agreement expires in September BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM —Negotiations for a new contract between General Motors of Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union begin next week. Representatives of the two sides will sit down at the Royal York in Toronto Tuesday and officially open talks for a new contract. The current agreement ex- pires Sept. 17. Al Green, GM of Canada’s vice-president of personnel, and Buzz Hargrove, president of the CAW, are scheduled to make opening remarks at the media event. “The two parties will come together for the first time on July 16,” said GM spokesman Chick McGregor. “They will exchange thoughts on the process.” The company and union labour negotiating teams, in- cluding those from the Oshawa plants, will swing into action in earnest and will work out as many matters as possible throughout the summer, Mr. McGregor said. After Labour Day in Sep- tember, the CAW, which will also be negotiating with Ford and Daimler-Chrysler, will an- nounce its “target” for contract negotiations, Mr. Hargrove said. That company will be the lead company and any deal reached with it becomes the pattern for the others. It could be a difficult deci- sion this year, admitted Mr. Hargrove. “It’s a challenging round of negotiations,” he said. “I’m anxious to get started. Usually we have two of the three com- panies doing well. This time we have a mixed bag. All of the companies have major strengths and major weakness- es.” Three manufacturing plants, including GM’s car plant in Quebec, are being closed within 12 to 14 months of each other, he said. At the same time, some plants are working three shifts and/or overtime to keep up with demand, including Os- hawa’s truck plant and No. 1 car plant, which will get a third shift later this summer, he said. Other plants are struggling to keep going on two shifts, he said. The CAW has the obliga- tion to bargain for the best contract it can for its members and their families, Mr. Har- grove said. “I hope we can do it without a strike.” The CAW will also use con- tract negotiations and the media attention it receives to drive home to Canadians the importance of the auto indus- try to the country’s economy, he added. GM of Canada president Michael Grimaldi, while an- nouncing a third shift at the No. 1 car plant this spring, told reporters he hopes the CAW chooses GM as its target. Shortly after the third shift announcement, Mr. Grimaldi also announced the No. 2 car plant will start producing the Grand Prix for the 2004 model year. One of the plant’s current products, the Buick Century, was recently named top quali- ty premium mid-sized car by J.D. Power and Associates, which recognized the plant as tops in initial quality. In the 2002 Harbour Re- port, the No. 1 plant, which makes the popular Impala and Monte Carlo, won top spot in productivity among North American vehicle assembly plants.

All automobile engines are made of various types of metal. And to work together, these met- als need to be properly lubricat- ed. That’s why the automobile industry turned to the oil indus- try to create oils that would meet the specific needs of modern engines. As a result, there are many high quali- ty motor oils available on the market, but it is still up to car owners to follow the manufactur- er’s recommenda- tions and use the right product for their vehicle. When they do, their engine will run optimally for years. One of the most important things a car owner can do to keep his or her car running in peak condition is to regularly check the engine’s oil level. This process is extremely simple, but if you need extra help your owner’s manual explains this task step by step. It is important to remember that this is a preventa- tive measure and that a lack of oil will certainly reduce your engine’s perfor- mance. Car and truck manufactur- ers also recommend that you change the oil on a regular basis to extend your engine’s life. This is even more important if you live in a climate that has extreme temperatures, such as in Canada. Why? During the winter months, cars take longer to start and warm up, which requires more gas. Some of this gas can leak along the pistons and eventually mix in with the oil. Remember, you won’t save money buying cheaper oil. If you spend a little more now, you will save a lot in the future. Stick to quality oil and have it changed on a regular basis, preferably by a qualified mechanic. If you are willing to take the time, you can change the oil yourself; just remember to respect environ- mental rules.

INSTORE BARGAINS ON • DSC SECURITY SYSTEMS • SAMSUNG VACUUMS • QUANTUM WATER FILTERS NHow to Host a Summer Garden Party From wild to mild, no matter what kind of winter you’ve experi- enced, summer always arrives as a welcome relief. It’s a time to spend outdoors enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of nature. Besides the vacations and family outings that accompany summer, an at-home garden party for relatives and friends can liven up a quiet week- end. Start your own tradition with these tips: • Create handmade party invi- tations using a watering can stencil made from colourful construction paper. Use metallic-ink pens to compose a greeting. • Set up tables and chairs in separate areas around the garden and in the backyard where guests can relax and converse while enjoy- ing drinks and appetizers. Decorate shade umbrellas with lights and flowers. For appetizers, offer a selection of finger foods. • Create a festive atmosphere with lighting. Place lanterns, votives and stake lights around the bushes and lit luminarias on the edge of the patio. Put citronella candles on the bistro and buffet tables to keep bugs away and add a romantic ambience. Set up a stereo system outside for mood music. • Make a centerpiece for the buffet table that reflects the sum- mer’s bounty. Stack a pile of lemons in the shape of a pyramid. Secure them with toothpicks or bamboo barbecue skewers and accent the pyramid by tucking leaves, strawberries, and grapes in the gaps. Decorate tables with fresh flowers in clear vases with glass pebbles or colored glass stones to keep the stems in place. Always protect food with plastic or mesh food covers to keep insects away. • Use two grills when cooking for a crowd. Set up a table next to the grills to hold utensils, food, sauces and spices. If your grills have heaters, cover cooked food and place it on the heaters so every- thing can be served warm at the same time. • Keep salads and other foods in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them and don’t let them sit out too long. Line a wheel- barrow with plastic and fill it with ice to keep your beverages cool. • If children are invited, have a variety of outdoor games available to keep them busy. Volleyball, horse- shoes, table ten- nis and miniature golf are always fun. • Give each guest a party favor to take home. Watering cans filled with seed packets, gloves and spades make perfect gifts.

Studies report that stress levels of the average Canadian have reached all time highs. An astonishing 89% of adults describe experiencing high levels of stress and most say they are under more stress now than they were five or ten years ago. While you may not be able to control or avoid the things that trigger stress in your life, you can minimize its effects on your mind and body by escaping to your own backyard retreat. Swimming is the best and least stressful form of exercise there is. Aquatic exercise covers all the bases when it comes to physical fitness. Improved body composition, greater joint and muscle flexibility, improved cardio-respirato- ry performance and increased muscular strength and endurance. Aquatic exercises, com- bined with deep rhythmic breathing, clear your mind and calm you down, help- ing your heart to operate more efficiently, lowering your blood pressure and increasing the flow of oxy- gen throughout the body. As spas and hot tubs become increasingly popu- lar, hydrotherapy becomes prevalent. There are three basic elements of hydrotherapy. Heat-warm water affects your circulato- ry system. After a few min- utes of soaking in hot water, the blood vessels dilate, which helps to lower blood pressure. Buoyancy helps slow down your pulse because your heart no longer has to fight against gravity allowing it to oper- ate 10-20% more efficiently. Massage-the massage effect of the various jets can be designed to relieve muscle tension in high stress areas of the body; neck, shoulder, mid-back, lower back, thigh and feet. . What’s good for the body is also good for the mind. Swimming pool and hot tub owners repeatedly cited physical and mental benefits from owning a pool or a hot tub. Whatever your reasons for purchas- ing a pool or spa, whether it’s for relaxation or to increase quality time with friends and family, you can be sure that the benefits are numerous. 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 vaca- tion, 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. The addition of a pool and spa can make staying at home seem like a vacation. In your own pool, you can let the kids play all day in he water. Swim to your hearts’ content.. Lie in the sun and get a tan. Float on a raft in a gentle breeze. Throw a party for friends and family. With your own spa or hot tub, you can soak away the worries of the day. Soothe you tired muscles. Feel your spirits lifted by thousands of tiny invigorat- ing bubbles!

It took two tries but John Vandersanden paddled his canoe across Lake Ontario for World Youth Day. The unpredictabililty of the lake had the 38-year-old Bowmanville man wonder- ing if he could do it. He’d tried earlier last month but had to cancel the marathon journey due to a small craft warning. Then on June 22, the lake’s waters were like glass so he and his daugh- ters, Holly, 14 and Alicia, 12, started out for Olcott, New York. Rigged up in a powerboat carrying the Langford canoe he hoped he and his children could pad- dle back to Oshawa, they sailed for Olcott, east of Ni- agara Falls, N.Y. All seemed well. “About an hour before we got to Olcott, a storm came up and there were four-foot waves,” says Mr. Vander- sanden. Thankfully, the storm blew over after about three hours and they hoped for a better tomorrow. “We left the next morn- ing at 5:28. The conditions were perfect,” he says. But they weren’t to remain that way. There were a couple of hours of drizzle and then the wind caused waves with which he and his daughters had to contend. “At about 11:30 a.m. I thought we weren’t going to make it be- cause of the wind,” he re- calls. “Then it stopped com- pletely. About an hour-and- a-half after we left (Olcott), we saw a big ship in the shipping lanes and an hour- and-a-half later we got the ship’s wake.” He and his daughters rode those swells with no problem. Finally at about 3:30 p.m., they were a mile from Oshawa’s Lake- view Park shore. One more hour, after paddling a total of 11 hours, the intrepid crew docked the canoe at the Oshawa pier. “There were about 40 to 50 people there which was kind of nice,” says Mr. Van- dersanden, who has raised $2,500 in support of his church’s World Youth Day activities. Thankful to his daugh- ters, Mr. Vandersanden says, “I couldn’t have done it without them.” He wonders if he set or broke any records for a canoe crossing Lake Ontario, but he’s most grate- ful to the many people who donated money for WYD. A parishioner of St. Therese Roman Catholic Church in Courtice, the funds will go to help the church provide accommoda- tion and transport to pil- grims attending World Youth Day in Toronto, July 18 to 28. Half-a-million people are expected to visit the GTA this month from 150 countries. Anyone wanting to con- tribute can still do so at St. Therese Roman Catholic Church, 3800 Courtice Rd. N., Courtice or by calling 905-697-3654. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 12, 2002 PAGE 21 A/P Defeat Drought Before It Defeats Your Plants (MS) — Remember El Niño? Well, the experts say it may be back. According to the lat- est data the weather phe- nomenon continues to develop. What exactly is El Niño? Formally, it’s “a disruption of the ocean- atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather and climate around the globe.” For many gardeners around the country, that descrip- tion basically means one thing: dry weather. You can’t stop El Niño from coming, but as a gardener, you can cer- tainly prepare for it. Often, when drought-like conditions hit an area, homeowners are asked to conserve water. This usually means outdoor watering is limit- ed. Don’t let the thought of restricted water sup- plies worry you. There are many things you can do to prevent damage to your plants and trees, even with conservation measures in effect. One thing you can do is to make sure you use a landscape fabric in your landscape beds. Studies have shown that the fab- rics can actually help con- serve water. Landscape fabrics help keep soil moist and cool, thus encouraging root growth. Another great thing about land- scape fabrics is that they help stop weed growth, so your plants won’t have to compete with weeds for water. If you’re going to use a landscape fabric, experts say it’s good to stick with one made of UV treated polyethylene and features microfun- nels that are built to chan- nel water down to the plant’s roots. Landscape fabric is easy to install, all you have to do is spread the fabric over the plants, cut holes to the desired size and pull it down around the plant. Once you do that, you’ll be set for dry weather. This spring, while the experts track El Niño, track down products to help you protect your garden against dry conditions.

The Canadian champion in the 100-metre hurdles declined to run at the games, July 25 to Aug. 4 in Manchester, England, citing nagging injuries to her heel and knees — as well as fa- tigue — as the reasons behind her decision. “There are just physically a lot of things that I need to get healed up right now,” Felicien said in a phone interview from Champaign, Illinois. “For safe- ty’s sake and to be ready for next year, I decided to sit out the rest of this summer.” That’s not to say the 21-year- old hurdles phenomenon isn’t frustrated she won’t be repre- senting Canada on the interna- tional stage. “It is definitely disappoint- ing,” said Felicien, who’s enter- ing her senior year at the Univer- sity of Illinois in the fall. “I would love to go and be there and compete for Canada. The Commonwealth Games is a big event and Canada has always done well there. I’ve done every- thing to this point to be ready for the games, but it came down to my knees and a bone bruise on my heel. It’s really hard for me to run.” Her injuries, she explained, should have kept her out of both the National Collegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Louisiana and the 2002 Canadi- an Track and Field Champi- onships in Edmonton last month. “I ran at the (NCAA) nation- als with these injuries as I felt an obligation to the school. I shouldn’t have run at Canadians, but I thought I owed it to the country to run. I thought if I’m going to be in the world champi- onships in Paris in 2003 and the Olympics (in Athens) in two years time, I have to let these things heal.” She didn’t train during the three-week period leading up to the Canadian championships. In fact, she was on crutches with her badly bruised heel, suffered at the Big Ten Conference Championships in May, for most of that period. Despite the in- juries, she was still able to win the 100m hurdles crown. “I thought that it would prob- ably be the last race until Febru- ary. I just sucked it up, toughed it out and just tried to make the best of it,” she said. The physical rigours of the past season weren’t the only fac- tors in her decision to skip the games. “It’s a bit mental, too,” she said. “I’ve been running hard and juggling school at the same time. It’s sort of a blessing. It will allow me to recharge and have a better season next year.” That’s not to suggest her past season wasn’t filled with tri- umphs. In addition to her Cana- dian crown, she won the 60m in- doors and 100m outdoors NCAA hurdles titles, the first time an Illinois athlete has ever accomplished this feat. Felicien won the 60m title in an NCAA record time of 7.90, and the 100m crown in 12.91 seconds. She was also named the Uni- versity of Illinois female athlete of the year for the second year in a row. In addition to running for Canada at the worlds next year, the 2000 Canadian Olympian also plans to defend her NCAA hurdles titles. “Winning back-to-back NCAA titles in the same year is exactly what I set out to do. I’m hoping to do that again next year. I feel I’m an old veteran at that. Next year, I think I can do the same thing and break some records while I’m at it.” PERDITA FELICIEN ‘For safety’s sake...I decided to sit out the rest of this summer.’ A/P PAGE 24 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 12, 2002 *Sales Representative **Associate Broker ***Broker/Owner SUN., JUNE 14, 2-4 P.M., 45 INGLEWOOD PLACE, WHITBY RARE FIND! 3 CAR GARAGE + INCOME POTENTIAL! - Exclusive area - Custom “Corvinelli” built - Premium pie-shaped lot - Separate entrance to prof. fin. bsmt. - 4 bdrm. + 4 baths - 2 gas fps., hardwood, ceramics - Whirlpool tub, cent. air cond., cent. vac., 200 amp. - Prof. landscaped w/underground sprinkler system & interlocking + 2 tier deck - Too many upgrades to list!!!

Bantam squad posts 35-28 win, improve league record AJAX —The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins and Markham Raiders lit up the scoreboard last week- end, as the local club posted its fourth win of the year. Joe Dublin led the Dolphins with two touchdowns in the 35- 28 win during Central Ontario Minor Football League bantam action July 7 at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax. Ajax-Pickering, which improved its season record to 4-2, also got scoring from Ryan Bard- gett with one touchdown and two, two-point converts, touchdowns from Ola Allen and Erik Glavic, and a one-point convert from Ryan Mungal. The bantams now enjoy a short break before returning to the gridiron, owing to six mem- bers of the club being on the COMFL bantam all-star team heading to Montreal for a week. Players Milos Kucevic, Brett Lacey, Nick Schembri, Derek VanDusen and Dan West are on the club, joined by head coach Jim Bardgett. The bantams’ next game is at home against the North York Grizzlies Sunday, July 21 at noon at Pine Ridge Secondary School, 2155 Liverpool Rd. N. In other Dolphins action, the collegiate club lost its recent game to the Burlington Stamped- ers, although no score or details were reported. The collegians are also in action at Pine Ridge July 21. The club faces off against the Beeton Express at 3 p.m. Dublin leads Ajax-Pickering Dolphins to victory General Help510 ALWAYS HIRING! Full time, students welcome.

Ex-Crown subject of OPP probe See TORONTO page 2 Allegations of misappropriation of funds at heart of investigation BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A Durham Re- gion prosecutor, who recently re- signed, is expected to be charged Monday after an OPP probe into alleged misappropriation of chari- table donations arising from crim- inal plea-bargains. The decision to lay criminal charges follows a year-long police investigation, the News Advertiser has learned. Bryan Davies, an assistant Durham Crown attorney for the past eight years, was suspended by the Ministry of the Attorney Gen- eral last year, after the allegations surfaced, justice sources said. “We can confirm we anticipate charges being laid Monday. How- ever, we’re not fully aware of the entire extent of the allegations,” Oshawa lawyer Bernie O’Brien, who has been retained by Mr. Davies, said when contacted Wednesday. A first court appearance has been scheduled for July 23, he said. Mr. Davies resigned in March, citing health reasons, several months after the OPP began prob- ing financial irregularities involv- ing a trust fund he oversaw. A senior OPP officer confirmed the investigation, but details were not expected to be released until next week. “All I can tell you is we are conducting an investigation into allegations of misappropriation of funds from private trust accounts, involving an assistant Crown attor- ney in the Durham Region Crown Attorney’s office,” said Detective Inspector Cliff Strachan. The prosecutor’s “position as a Crown is relative to the investiga- tion,” he said. The ministry requested the in- vestigation in July 2001, said Det. Insp. Strachan, of the Orillia-based criminal investigations branch. Two investigators are assigned to the probe. In a recent interview, Mr. Davies acknowledged the OPP Blaze contained to roof area BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital be- came the scene of an emer- gency Wednesday rather than a refuge from one. A blaze in the venting sys- tem forced the evacuation of some patients, non-essential staff and volunteers for about three hours. “We evacuated all ambulato- ry patients out of the emer- gency department and non-ur- gent patients sitting in the wait- ing room or in the treatment room,” said hospital spokesman Katie Cronin-Wood. The fire was in the roof area T.O. trash finding its way to Pickering? City sees increase in illegal dumping BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The Toronto City workers’strike helped to send more than the smell of garbage across the Rouge River this week. Though the labour dispute was concluded late Thursday and some workers were expected back as early as today, the strike did have an impact here at home. City officials say more garbage, along with residents seeking a way to beat the heat, had been making their way to Picker- ing. “We’ve seen an increase in the ® • SALES • SERVICE • LEASING • RENTALS • BODY SHOP Make the most of small spaces. 503 Kingston Rd., Pickering www.pvw.com (905) 420-9700 “Try The Best” PICKERING VOLKSWAGEN INC. 905-683-8401 11 am - 5pm Pickering Museum Village Sunday July 14th See HOSPITAL page 7 PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Top athlete takes Banding together time out to heal to slay dragons SPORTS/23 ENTERTAINMENT/22 PRESSRUN 51,100 32 PAGES FRIDAY, JULY 12, 2002 OPTIONAL DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND Hospital fire forces evacuation See INVESTIGATION page 8 amount of illegal dumping in the city,” said Richard Holborn, division head of municipal property and engineering. “We can’t prove it was coming from Toronto, but you can put two and two to- gether and as- sume.” Areas close to the west end of the City, in- cluding Twyn Rivers Drive and the Pickering- Toronto City line have been most affected, said Mr. Hol- born. “We’re step- ping up patrols in the area, one to see if it can be stopped and two to clean it up,” he added, noting nobody was caught dumping this week. He also said the areas affect- ed are always popular with il- legal dumpers and it’s the time of year that peo- ple are doing a lot of it. “We don’t pick up grass clippings or sod so we’re seeing some of that,” he said. “We clean it up as quickly as we can.” Meanwhile, the pool at Petti- coat Creek Con- servation Area has enjoyed an influx of Toron- tonians looking for a place to take a dip. “We sure did the first week- end,” said Darryl Gray, superin- tendent at Bruce’s Mill and Petticoat Creek. “The long week- end especially. It’s been busy, (the strike) af- fected us and it’s been great.” In fact, Mr. Gray said traffic at the pool is up one-third since the strike began. “It’s because we’re so close to Scarborough. Four out of five phone calls we’re getting are people from Toronto,” he said, noting sev- eral camps that previously head- ed to a Toronto City pool for a swim are now coming to Pick- ering to get wet. “From a revenue point of view it’s been a boon.” Increased traffic at the Petticoat Creek pool means economic benefits for the con- servation area, as fees go to support the con- servation area and improvements to the pool and grounds. Mr. Gray said he hopes the added expo- sure from the strike will help keep numbers up throughout the rest of the summer and for years to come. “Hopefully the people will keep coming back,” he said. Mr. Holborn, meanwhile, said there’s also been increased demand for Pickering’s sports fields and parks. “There are pressures to be the next place to go,” he said. “But, we’re poised to deal with it.” Toronto-Pickering border a popular place for dumps during trash strike P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 12, 2002 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.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alterna- tives, in a report released last Thursday, says despite claims by the Education Min- istry that education funding has increased during the Tory government’s term of of- fice, it has declined by over $2 billion when school boards’enrolment growth, inflation and increased costs are taken into account. “Analysis of school board funding for 2002-03, including the (education funding) formula improvements an- nounced in the budget, shows that funding for elementary and secondary education on a real, per-student basis has been cut by more than $2.2 and $2.5 billion under the Conservative government,” states the report. “That is, accounting for enrolment change and cost increases, 2002-03 funding would have to be increased by more than $2.2 billion to match its 1994, pre- Mike Harris level.” The report also blasts the funding formula as “inflexi- ble”. Education Ministry spokesman Pat Nelson said in an interview that, since taking office, the new premier and edu- cation minister “have found an addi- tional $560 million for education in the province. “This comes at a time when the government faced a number of diffi- cult decisions this year.” He added enrolment growth is slated at just 0.4 per cent in the next school year. Mr. Nelson said the report “chooses to ig- nore that since 1998, the government has provid- ed $1.1 billion in one- time funding outside of the funding formula. “We’re pretty confi- dent in our numbers. The significant increases are there on paper and in budget documents.” The report lists win- ners and losers in the funding formula, with large, public boards in southern Ontario taking the biggest hits and northern, French-lan- guage and Catholic boards generally bene- fiting. According to the re- port, the Durham Dis- trict School Board is re- ceiving $343 less per student next year than it did in 1997. However, the Durham Catholic District School Board is on the other side of the ledger, with per pupil funding up by $169. Representatives at Durham’s two school boards have complained the funding formula does not provide them with enough money to run their systems. Last month they warned of severe cuts to pro- grams in the 2003-04 school year if they do not receive more provincial money. The boards used a total of roughly $19 million in reserves to finalize their budgets this year. David Visser, business superintendent at the Durham Catholic board, said he had not seen the report and could not comment. Ron Trbovich, his counterpart at the Durham public board, said while the board is definitely underfunded, he had problems with the findings. “On the basis of this report, I can’t sup- port the notion that this is the way it should be,” he said. The report looks at funding levels before the introduction of the Province’s education funding formula, said Mr. Trbovich. At that time, school boards had the ability to gener- ate their own money locally by raising edu- cation taxes, in addition to receiving provin- cial grants. As a result, more populous, urban boards could raise more money than their rural counterparts, the main reason why the funding formula was introduced, to create fairness. Mr. Trbovich said the report makes the assumption that what boards were spending before the funding formula was introduced in 1998 was appropriate, and that all boards were on a level playing field. “That starting point wasn’t really equi- table,” he said. Mr. Trbovich said he is working on a re- port to determine what the public board should be receiving from the Province. The report is to be presented to the Education Equality Task Force, currently conducting an independent review of the funding for- mula.

Public, Catholic school boards state their case with Elizabeth Witmer BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Local educa- tion officials recently met with the new education minister, ex- pressing the common needs of the Durham public and Catholic school boards. Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, in an interview said she had been trying to arrange a meeting since Elizabeth Witmer assumed the position almost three months ago. When the op- portunity presented itself, a June 27 meeting, she said she invited Durham Catholic District School Board representatives to attend as well. Trustee Roy, education direc- tor Grant Yeo, and their counter- parts at the Catholic board, chairman Mary Ann Martin and education director Grant An- drews, attended the meeting at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “We focused on the relation- ship between our two boards and what has been implemented and shared over the past years,” Tr ustee Roy said in an interview. “I must say that her initial reac- tion was very impressed to see that the two boards came togeth- er.” “We then discussed that we have balanced our budgets but are very concerned that as boards that have been fiscally responsible, in the future years we will have problems. Future budgets may entail addressing programs. “We discussed that with the salary scales of both boards that we are having difficulties in re- taining staff and that this fall we both have to hire a great number of teachers.” The education representatives also raised the issue of the need for more special-education funding, especially the intensive support amount component, where both boards feel they should be receiving more money from the Province. While she said the foursome didn’t really get any answers from the minister and her staff, “we had a voice, notes were taken and I think we left a very good impression of the two boards.” Neither Trustee Martin nor Mr. Andrews were available to comment.

Durham boards meet education minister in bid for funds We’re onine at durhamregion.com Is our society too politically cor- rect? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding yes. As we near the first anniversary of the horrific events of Sept. 11, one would think people would have reorganized their priori- ties. Yet people still get offended over the most minor things. As I sit here, writing this column, I have used the delete button more than a dozen times in trying to come up with an example. My problem: each one that comes to mind will of- fend someone if I put it to paper. I’ll try a couple, but please bear in mind (before you flood the newspaper with hate mail) this is an opinion column. I think a person should have opin- ions, just not to be so opinionated that one becomes offended about every little thing. People used to be able to tell slightly off-colour jokes without being accused of sexual ha- rassment. Oddly enough, blonde jokes and Newfie jokes are still con- sidered acceptable. I know a man who was afraid to tell his co-worker a simple “you look nice today” for fear of repercussions. People are timid to say ‘Merry Christmas’ anymore. We say ‘happy holidays,’or we say nothing. I under- stand, and respect, there are different religions, and that not everyone cele- brates Christmas. However, most people do, and those who don’t are not generally thrown into a tizzy when someone tells them to have a good Christmas. The sickening thing is we are force-feeding this political correct- ness upon our children, effectively stripping them of their wonderful out-of-the-mouths-of-babes inno- cence. Schools now enforce a hands- off policy. Don’t get me wrong, I think that is great... to a degree. I, personally, think they’ve gone over- board with the approach. Children need to be able to feel they can play games like tag without being expelled. It is in the hands-on environment of the schoolyard where children learn social graces and cop- ing skills. We used to play with hock- ey sticks (now considered a potential weapon by school boards) and kiss- ing tag. Heaven forbid that should occur now. A display of affection by a teacher to a student is construed as something sinister. Now, I’m certainly not saying we should revert to being Neanderthals; tact must prevail. I just cannot be- lieve people would want to waste precious time stressing out over the little things that, in the grand scheme of it all, are inconsequential. We all know what stress can do to a person. Live life lighter, and you’ll live life longer. And happier! We don’t have to be Neanderthals... But we have to get away somewhat from this new age of political correctness Jennifer Hibbert Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 12, 2002 New HQ not needed To the editor: Re: ‘Durham councillors make new head- quarters a go,’June 21. Durham council has decided to spend in the neighbourhood of between $55 million and $70 million building a new regional headquarters that will assist no one except those who work at that building. The Re- gion has also entertained a plan to lower taxes for large industry in Durham Region by balancing this with another tax increase for property owners to offset the loss. Now it wants to spend even more money, which will ultimately mean a higher levy against properties throughout the region for yet another project in Whitby for which other communities will pay. Regional coun- cil listened to very solid arguments from Bob Malcolmson, executive director of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, and Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs, but were shut down by other councillors who obviously don’t have their constituents’ tax bills in mind. For more than 20 years, Oshawa has been trying to come up with a downtown re- vitalization program, as available office space is underutilized in that city. The Re- gion would not have to increase its debt load by almost 200 per cent if it would con- sider leasing this readily available space. The mandarins at regional council won’t consider anything but a new building and damn the rest, regardless of how logical it may be. Regional council also defeated a motion this expenditure be put to a referendum vote at the next municipal election in November 2003. The big problem is voter apathy, which is why the Region will get away with this. Voter turnout for municipal elections is the lowest of any election, yet the taxpayer has more control over their tax dollars at the municipal level than at any other. I don’t need my property taxes increas- ing for such an absurd project and I’m hop- ing other property owners feel the same. Stephen R.

That’s not just a cliché emanating from the Durham Region chairman’s office; the numbers back it up. Whether it be added shifts at the region’s largest employer, General Motors, or solid employment numbers that have im- proved since a slight downturn last year, or the construction of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), or the need to buy or sell a house, things could hardly be better. GM workers will be keeping an eye on Canadian Auto Work- ers president Buzz Hargrove as he gets down to the nitty-gritty of contract negotiations with management. With General Motors doing tremendous business and Oshawa producing the best- made automobiles in North America, it’s in everybody’s best in- terest to cut a fair deal and keep the motor running in high gear. Employment numbers across the country have been solid. Some 300,000 Canadians have found work since the beginning of the year, a rebound after a stagnant 2001. In fact, the Canadi- an employment rate has risen by a robust two per cent in 2002 alone, an excellent figure considering the North American gloom last fall. Durham’s fortunes received a huge lift with the official leg- islative confirmation of UOIT, to be built at the Durham College campus. A massive construction project employing many is cur- rently under way. UOIT is expected to be open and ready to ac- cept its first class of students by September 2003. Finally, Durham has a university to call its own, with fabulous opportu- nities for local high school graduates to attend a state-of-the-art university close to home. The housing market has been excellent, which should come as little surprise. New developments are constantly going up in Clarington, Oshawa, and Whitby with annual growth across the region expected to nearly double over the next 20 years. In 2001, home sales were up over 12 per cent over 2000 numbers and re- altors in Durham are suggesting 2002 could be even better. Buy- ers are finding mortgage rates are the lowest they’ve been in 40 years, so making a purchase now is as good a time as any. And with demand for homes high, sellers are getting the best prices they’ve asked for in years. The average selling price for homes in Durham (excluding Brock and Uxbridge) increased to $187,480 in 2001 from $179,300 in 2000. And prices, spiked by demand, were even higher this year. It’s not hard to see why Durham remains one of the most pop- ular, fastest-growing places in Canada. Let the good times continue to roll.

The fire was contained to “the roof area, the venting for the boilers,” Ajax Deputy Fire Chief Matthew Pegg said Thursday. “It appears to be a malfunc- tion in the exhaust that caused it to overheat. The fire damage was fairly minimal.” Ashlee Riddell and Stephen Mans- field were waiting for an appointment in the first-floor fracture clinic, near the emergency department. “There was a staff alarm and the whole code red thing,” Ms. Riddell said. People were told to leave and “that’s what they’ve done,” she added. “Smoke was detected in the building and they said to get out till it’s found.” Mr. Mansfield hurt his foot on the weekend and was at the hospital to have a cast put on. Victoria Tucker of Oshawa was at the hospital after hurting her toe earli- er Wednesday. “I was waiting to get pills and an X- ray,” she said. Ms. Tucker was at the hospital with son Alexander, who was born there 12 weeks earlier. “The doctor just saw me and I was waiting for X-rays. I heard code red three times. I asked what it was and they said it was a fire,” Ms. Tucker stated. “A nurse came and said ‘we need to get you out’.” Zack Graham-Singh of Ajax was at the hospital with his mother Wilma, having hurt both ankles Tuesday while playing tag at the Ajax Community Centre. By Wednesday Zack, 10, was having trouble walking. “I was sitting (in the emergency de- partment) and relaxing. I smelled rub- ber burning and they said ‘code red, code red, code red, emergency’,” Zack said. “I didn’t even know what that meant. My mom helped me out.” Ajax Fire and Emergency Services Platoon Chief Dave Lang said Wednesday there was light smoke and firefighters were checking smoke- stacks to “make sure there’s no prob- lem. “We asked anybody walking around, waiting, to leave. Everybody else we left alone.” Ms. Cronin-Wood said the operating room was shut down during the incident, although there was only elective surgery scheduled. “As soon as the all-clear was given, the operating room sprang into action,” she added, noting no in-patients were evac- uated. Operations personnel at the hospital have to evaluate the damage before a dollar figure can be put on it, she stated. “Staff was wonderful and to- tally prepared. They performed amazingly well,” she said.

He did say, “I’ve co-operated completely with anyone with an interest in this matter.” Mr. Davies said his resignation was related to medical problems. The investigation centres around a high-profile prosecution two years ago that saw more than a dozen society women charged with participating in an illegal pyramid scheme, the News Adver- tiser has learned. Sources confirm the probe also focused on alleged donations to the W. Bruce Affleck Trust Fund as part of plea-bargain deals struck in the pyramid prosecution. The trust fund, used to create a Durham College scholarship in memory of the legendary Oshawa lawyer, originated with money from a fund-raiser in honour of local lawyer Terry Kelly’s 65th birthday six years ago. Mr. Davies was director of the fund, although there were original- ly three administrators when it was created. More than 20 women in the re- gion were charged in 1999 in the money pyramid scheme. The case resulted in many prominent women pleading guilty to participating or operating an il- legal scheme. As part of the resolutions, they received conditional discharges in exchange for making financial contributions to local charities, which were approved by the Crown. Mr. Davies was the Crown in charge of the pyramid prosecution. Among the allegations are that two of the approved donations, to- talling $30,000, were made to the W.B. Affleck trust fund, and that those monies were misappropriat- ed. In a 1999 interview, Mr. Davies said approximately $300,000 had been donated to local charitable organizations by way of the pyra- mid pleas. Calling them “community- based crimes,” Mr. Davies said it was appropriate the accused give to charity as a way of paying back society. It’s alleged a portion of the money in question, about $5,000, was given to a sexual assault vic- tim to help with her college tu- ition, sources said. Detective Sergeant Peter Nau- mienko, a Durham Regional Po- lice officer who headed the pyra- mid investigation, refused to com- ment on the OPP probe. Several local defence lawyers, who represented clients involved in the pyramid schemes, have been interviewed by the OPP as part of the investigation. “Their main focus was diver- sions involving” cases prosecuted by Mr. Davies, said one lawyer who was interviewed. “They wanted to know what di- versions we had with Bryan,” he said. Another lawyer, speaking on the promise of confidentiality, said it is common for criminal cases in- volving relatively minor charges, usually drug possession, to be re- solved prior to trial by way of ‘di- version.’ Diversion usually involves an accused person performing com- munity volunteer work or making a charitable donation. In exchange, the Crown drops the charges. The process helps reduce the logjam in the courts. All the money from the W. B. Affleck Trust Fund has been turned over to Durham College, which administers the scholarship. It is the second time in recent months a high-profile member of the Durham Region Crown’s Of- fice has been the subject of a po- lice investigation. John Scott, the Region’s senior Crown attorney, was charged by Durham police earlier this year with impaired driving causing bodily harm and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident. He pleaded guilty last month to a Highway Traffic Act charge of careless driving and the criminal charges were withdrawn. It is not the first time Mr. Davies has been the focus of an in- vestigation into misappropriation. In 1994 while in private prac- tice, Mr. Davies was found guilty by a Law Society of Upper Cana- da discipline committee of profes- sional misconduct for misappro- priating $58,000 in client funds. According to the report and de- cision of the Discipline Commit- tee, the money was used to support a failing business investment and advance funds to a client. He also improperly borrowed $50,000 from a client, violating professional rules, to “fulfil an obligation to a friend,” the report said. According to the Law Society decision, Mr. Davies, who was called to the bar in 1984 and was a partner in the Port Perry firm Fowler Davies, admitted “that he had misappropriated monies from one client to advance funds to an- other client.” He took $5,000 from the client trust account to give to the manag- er of an Oshawa bar in which he was an investor, and used smaller amounts to pay entrance fees for basketball tournaments for the team he coached, the decision said. None of the misconduct was motivated by greed nor resulted in financial gain to Mr. Davies, the committee found. Rather, the wrongdoing caused him “significant financial loss.” Mr. Davies made complete restitution. In the ruling Chairman Joan Lax said the misconduct occurred “during a period when Mr. Davies was suffering from a medical con- dition that can cause impaired judgement.” He was diagnosed with manic depression, a biochemical condi- tion that requires medication, and “the conduct is explained by the mental illness.” In August 1993, after voluntari- ly withdrawing from practice while waiting disciplinary pro- ceedings, he was hired as a part- time Crown. The committee said the normal punishment for misappropriation is disbarment. However, noting “extenuating circumstances,” the committee ac- cepted a joint submission that he be suspended one year, and upon reinstatement “permitted to prac- tise law, but only as a Crown attor- ney.” He was later hired as a full-time prosecutor. Calling the conduct “aberrant,” Chairman Lax said Mr. Davies was being treated for his condition and was unlikely to repeat the mis- conduct. “Mr. Davies is a valued and re- spected member of the legal pro- fession... As a part-time Crown at- torney Mr. Davies practices law in a structured and supervised setting and does not handle trust funds. If permitted to continue in the profession he proposes to continue to practice as a Crown attorney. “I do not hesitate to conclude the public is well-protected,” Chairman Lax said. Mr. Davies was regarded by Crown and defence colleagues as one of the region’s top prosecutors and handled a large share of major cases. In recent years he specialized in prosecuting Internet child pornog- raphy cases. In 1998 Mr. Davies and Greg O’Driscoll successfully prosecut- ed the Balaclava Bandits, two men convicted of the Gagnon Sports gun shop robbery and double-mur- der. In 2000, the Durham Regional Police Service conducted an inten- sive three-month investigation after learning of a suspected plot to murder Mr. Davies, who also is an active community volunteer and girls’ basketball coach. Mr. Davies was put under round-the-clock police protection, and the criminal investigation led to 15 arrests and dozens of drug and weapons trafficking charges.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Durham Regional Police, in co- operation with the Canadian Recording Industry Association’s (CRIA) anti- piracy office, seized the discs July 7. They are valued at about $20,000 “It’s a copyright infringement,” ex- plained RCMP Sergeant Michael O’Hare of the Toronto East Detachment in Bowmanville. Sergeant O’Hare said discs have been seized in the past at flea markets, but did not know if police had recovered any at the Pickering Flea Market before. “Other flea markets are being checked; it’s a continuous sort of thing,” he said. CRIA applauded the police agencies “in following through with this investi- gation. “No royalties were paid on the CDs seized by police in this case,” said Ken Thompson, CRIA vice-president and general counsel, in the RCMP press re- lease. The CRIA says worldwide sales of pirated sound recordings were roughly $6.5 billion in 2001. David Umezurike, 43, of Toronto, and Conrad Blackwood, 36, of Bramp- ton, are charged.

Normally interchange pro- jects are financed 100 per cent by the Province but the Region agreed in 1999 to fund 22 per cent of the cost as a way to kick-start construction. Other- wise the interchanges would not have been constructed in the foreseeable future. The municipalities of Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa each agreed to pay an additional 11 per cent on the highway ramps in their municipalities. But since then, costs have contin- ued to escalate. When they hit $29 million this spring, the Re- gion called on the Province for an explanation and assurances there would be no more sur- prises. The deal was struck last week between Minister of Transportation Norm Sterling, Durham Chairman Roger An- derson, Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond and Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle. It ensures completion of the Ajax inter- change currently under con- struction east of Harwood Av- enue and secures the future of another on the Ajax-Whitby border at Lakeridge Road and a third in Oshawa at Stevenson Road. “I think it’s fair to say everyone was pretty happy when we signed it (in 1999). I don’t think anyone is happy how it turned out but at least it’s capped now,” said Mr. An- derson at a meeting Wednes- day, where council reluctantly voted to approve the new agreement. The Region’s commitment on the Ajax interchange, the most ambitious project, will be capped at $20.3 million while the Stevenson interchange will cost $6.6 million and Lak- eridge $7 million. The Region requested the cap be set at $29.2 million but in a letter to Mr. Anderson June 27, the minister said, the $33.9 million “reflects the current es- timates for the projects and is more indicative of the true costs that will be incurred in providing the interchanges”. He noted the Province’s own costs have risen to $84.1 mil- lion from the original estimate of $31.2 million. Durham MPP John O’Toole, who also attended the meeting with the minister and local politicians, said the costs have risen for a number of reasons, including changes made by the Province and municipalities. As well, “the original costs were done on very preliminary information. There were no en- gineering drawings. It was like signing an open cheque. I total- ly support the accountability framework the Region want- ed,” he said. Oshawa Mayor Nancy Dia- mond asked council to support the deal despite the increase. Oshawa “will be at the table”, because the interchange is just too crucial to the Region’s economy to walk away from. As well, she added, Durham did agree to share the costs of the interchanges and the Province has already spent money preparing for the con- struction of the Stevenson and Lakeridge interchanges. “As a Region we have to keep our word,” she said. But Pickering Councillor Mark Holland, who voted against the deal, disagreed. “This is some 95 per cent in ex- cess of our original commit- ment. Our word was for $17.4 million, not $33.9. This sets an abysmal precedent,” he said. The Province has put Durham in a “trick box”, added Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt who said he will “reluctantly support” the deal but noted, “the rest of the Province would not put up with what Durham has had to put up with.” He suggested other parts of the province receive more prefer- ential treatment in access to in- frastructure. “I’ll support it, but by God never get into this again.” Ajax Mayor Steve Parish said he was only given two days’ notice of the meeting with the Province and could not attend. He has “very, very serious concerns with the deal” and the repercussions it could have for Ajax. “Capping is only one solu- tion. There are many, many items that should be taken out by the Region and Ajax,” he said, noting the Province had unilaterally made upgrades to the project, including lane ad- ditions and more costly light- ing the municipalities and Re- gion should not be charged for. By contrast, Whitby Mayor Brunelle called the deal a “good job” on the part of Mr. Anderson. The Stevenson project is ex- pected to begin in 2003 fol- lowed by Lakeridge later that year or 2004, said Mr. O’Toole. ROGER ANDERSON ‘I don’t think anyone is happy how it turned out but at least it’s capped now.’ DURHAM —The Durham public school board’s chairman is still hoping to appear before the Education Equali- ty Task Force. The task force, led by University of Guelph president Dr. Mordechai Rozanski, is conducting an indepen- dent review of the Province’s education funding formula for publicly-funded schools. The review will include a look at how effective the model is for fund- ing the range of school boards in the province, how much local spending flexibility boards should have, and the formula’s cost benchmarks structure. When the Durham District School Board finalized its budget last month, trustees approved a letter to Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer, requesting an opportunity to make a presentation to the task force “to ensure that the con- cerns of the (board), and the con- stituents it serves, are heard and ad- dressed”. Whitby Trustee and board chairman Elizabeth Roy said she hasn’t received a reply. Joe Corey, an Oshawa trustee on the Durham Catholic District School Board, in an interview said he was “90 per cent sure” the board would also try and address the task force. Ontario Premier Ernie Eves earlier this year pledged an immediate review of the formula. Public sessions are to take place in September in Toronto, Ottawa, Barrie, London, North Bay and Thunder Bay.

Young people from Picker- ing, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa are part of the choir, which is being managed by Oshawa resident Harold Marcotte. “They are thrilled about representing the young people of Canada before the world,” he said. “They have travelled into Toronto every Wednesday night since last September, preparing together to perform some of the most beautiful music ever written. “This says something spe- cial about the youth of Durham Region and we can be proud of them.” The choir will perform at the Molson Amphitheatre, along with an 80-member symphony orchestra and sever- al Canadian soloists, including baritone Russell Braun and mezzo-soprano Nina Scott- Stoddard. Local residents can take in the choir on July 20 at a dress rehearsal at the Civic Auditori- um, Thornton Road South, Os- hawa, beginning at 8 p.m. The doors open at 7 p.m. “The public is welcome to attend free of charge,” Mr. Marcotte said. “In the spirit of the entire festival, we are ask- ing the public who attend to make a donation in lieu of an admittance fee and to bring non-perishable food items that we will distribute to local food banks.” The choir will also perform as part of the closing mass for World Youth Day, which runs from July 22 to 28.

All automobile engines are made of various types of metal. And to work together, these met- als need to be properly lubricat- ed. That’s why the automobile industry turned to the oil indus- try to create oils that would meet the specific needs of modern engines. As a result, there are many high quali- ty motor oils available on the market, but it is still up to car owners to follow the manufactur- er’s recommenda- tions and use the right product for their vehicle. When they do, their engine will run optimally for years. One of the most important things a car owner can do to keep his or her car running in peak condition is to regularly check the engine’s oil level. This process is extremely simple, but if you need extra help your owner’s manual explains this task step by step. It is important to remember that this is a preventa- tive measure and that a lack of oil will certainly reduce your engine’s perfor- mance. Car and truck manufactur- ers also recommend that you change the oil on a regular basis to extend your engine’s life. This is even more important if you live in a climate that has extreme temperatures, such as in Canada. Why? During the winter months, cars take longer to start and warm up, which requires more gas. Some of this gas can leak along the pistons and eventually mix in with the oil. Remember, you won’t save money buying cheaper oil. If you spend a little more now, you will save a lot in the future. Stick to quality oil and have it changed on a regular basis, preferably by a qualified mechanic. If you are willing to take the time, you can change the oil yourself; just remember to respect environ- mental rules.

INSTORE BARGAINS ON • DSC SECURITY SYSTEMS • SAMSUNG VACUUMS • QUANTUM WATER FILTERS NHow to Host a Summer Garden Party From wild to mild, no matter what kind of winter you’ve experi- enced, summer always arrives as a welcome relief. It’s a time to spend outdoors enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of nature. Besides the vacations and family outings that accompany summer, an at-home garden party for relatives and friends can liven up a quiet week- end. Start your own tradition with these tips: • Create handmade party invi- tations using a watering can stencil made from colourful construction paper. Use metallic-ink pens to compose a greeting. • Set up tables and chairs in separate areas around the garden and in the backyard where guests can relax and converse while enjoy- ing drinks and appetizers. Decorate shade umbrellas with lights and flowers. For appetizers, offer a selection of finger foods. • Create a festive atmosphere with lighting. Place lanterns, votives and stake lights around the bushes and lit luminarias on the edge of the patio. Put citronella candles on the bistro and buffet tables to keep bugs away and add a romantic ambience. Set up a stereo system outside for mood music. • Make a centerpiece for the buffet table that reflects the sum- mer’s bounty. Stack a pile of lemons in the shape of a pyramid. Secure them with toothpicks or bamboo barbecue skewers and accent the pyramid by tucking leaves, strawberries, and grapes in the gaps. Decorate tables with fresh flowers in clear vases with glass pebbles or colored glass stones to keep the stems in place. Always protect food with plastic or mesh food covers to keep insects away. • Use two grills when cooking for a crowd. Set up a table next to the grills to hold utensils, food, sauces and spices. If your grills have heaters, cover cooked food and place it on the heaters so every- thing can be served warm at the same time. • Keep salads and other foods in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them and don’t let them sit out too long. Line a wheel- barrow with plastic and fill it with ice to keep your beverages cool. • If children are invited, have a variety of outdoor games available to keep them busy. Volleyball, horse- shoes, table ten- nis and miniature golf are always fun. • Give each guest a party favor to take home. Watering cans filled with seed packets, gloves and spades make perfect gifts.

Studies report that stress levels of the average Canadian have reached all time highs. An astonishing 89% of adults describe experiencing high levels of stress and most say they are under more stress now than they were five or ten years ago. While you may not be able to control or avoid the things that trigger stress in your life, you can minimize its effects on your mind and body by escaping to your own backyard retreat. Swimming is the best and least stressful form of exercise there is. Aquatic exercise covers all the bases when it comes to physical fitness. Improved body composition, greater joint and muscle flexibility, improved cardio-respirato- ry performance and increased muscular strength and endurance. Aquatic exercises, com- bined with deep rhythmic breathing, clear your mind and calm you down, help- ing your heart to operate more efficiently, lowering your blood pressure and increasing the flow of oxy- gen throughout the body. As spas and hot tubs become increasingly popu- lar, hydrotherapy becomes prevalent. There are three basic elements of hydrotherapy. Heat-warm water affects your circulato- ry system. After a few min- utes of soaking in hot water, the blood vessels dilate, which helps to lower blood pressure. Buoyancy helps slow down your pulse because your heart no longer has to fight against gravity allowing it to oper- ate 10-20% more efficiently. Massage-the massage effect of the various jets can be designed to relieve muscle tension in high stress areas of the body; neck, shoulder, mid-back, lower back, thigh and feet. . What’s good for the body is also good for the mind. Swimming pool and hot tub owners repeatedly cited physical and mental benefits from owning a pool or a hot tub. Whatever your reasons for purchas- ing a pool or spa, whether it’s for relaxation or to increase quality time with friends and family, you can be sure that the benefits are numerous. 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 vaca- tion, 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. The addition of a pool and spa can make staying at home seem like a vacation. In your own pool, you can let the kids play all day in he water. Swim to your hearts’ content.. Lie in the sun and get a tan. Float on a raft in a gentle breeze. Throw a party for friends and family. With your own spa or hot tub, you can soak away the worries of the day. Soothe you tired muscles. Feel your spirits lifted by thousands of tiny invigorat- ing bubbles!

It took two tries but John Vandersanden paddled his canoe across Lake Ontario for World Youth Day. The unpredictabililty of the lake had the 38-year-old Bowmanville man wonder- ing if he could do it. He’d tried earlier last month but had to cancel the marathon journey due to a small craft warning. Then on June 22, the lake’s waters were like glass so he and his daugh- ters, Holly, 14 and Alicia, 12, started out for Olcott, New York. Rigged up in a powerboat carrying the Langford canoe he hoped he and his children could pad- dle back to Oshawa, they sailed for Olcott, east of Ni- agara Falls, N.Y. All seemed well. “About an hour before we got to Olcott, a storm came up and there were four-foot waves,” says Mr. Vander- sanden. Thankfully, the storm blew over after about three hours and they hoped for a better tomorrow. “We left the next morn- ing at 5:28. The conditions were perfect,” he says. But they weren’t to remain that way. There were a couple of hours of drizzle and then the wind caused waves with which he and his daughters had to contend. “At about 11:30 a.m. I thought we weren’t going to make it be- cause of the wind,” he re- calls. “Then it stopped com- pletely. About an hour-and- a-half after we left (Olcott), we saw a big ship in the shipping lanes and an hour- and-a-half later we got the ship’s wake.” He and his daughters rode those swells with no problem. Finally at about 3:30 p.m., they were a mile from Oshawa’s Lake- view Park shore. One more hour, after paddling a total of 11 hours, the intrepid crew docked the canoe at the Oshawa pier. “There were about 40 to 50 people there which was kind of nice,” says Mr. Van- dersanden, who has raised $2,500 in support of his church’s World Youth Day activities. Thankful to his daugh- ters, Mr. Vandersanden says, “I couldn’t have done it without them.” He wonders if he set or broke any records for a canoe crossing Lake Ontario, but he’s most grate- ful to the many people who donated money for WYD. A parishioner of St. Therese Roman Catholic Church in Courtice, the funds will go to help the church provide accommoda- tion and transport to pil- grims attending World Youth Day in Toronto, July 18 to 28. Half-a-million people are expected to visit the GTA this month from 150 countries. Anyone wanting to con- tribute can still do so at St. Therese Roman Catholic Church, 3800 Courtice Rd. N., Courtice or by calling 905-697-3654. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 12, 2002 PAGE 21 A/P Defeat Drought Before It Defeats Your Plants (MS) — Remember El Niño? Well, the experts say it may be back. According to the lat- est data the weather phe- nomenon continues to develop. What exactly is El Niño? Formally, it’s “a disruption of the ocean- atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather and climate around the globe.” For many gardeners around the country, that descrip- tion basically means one thing: dry weather. You can’t stop El Niño from coming, but as a gardener, you can cer- tainly prepare for it. Often, when drought-like conditions hit an area, homeowners are asked to conserve water. This usually means outdoor watering is limit- ed. Don’t let the thought of restricted water sup- plies worry you. There are many things you can do to prevent damage to your plants and trees, even with conservation measures in effect. One thing you can do is to make sure you use a landscape fabric in your landscape beds. Studies have shown that the fab- rics can actually help con- serve water. Landscape fabrics help keep soil moist and cool, thus encouraging root growth. Another great thing about land- scape fabrics is that they help stop weed growth, so your plants won’t have to compete with weeds for water. If you’re going to use a landscape fabric, experts say it’s good to stick with one made of UV treated polyethylene and features microfun- nels that are built to chan- nel water down to the plant’s roots. Landscape fabric is easy to install, all you have to do is spread the fabric over the plants, cut holes to the desired size and pull it down around the plant. Once you do that, you’ll be set for dry weather. This spring, while the experts track El Niño, track down products to help you protect your garden against dry conditions.

Following are the new movie releases playing this weekend at local cinemas. REIGN OF FIRE Starring Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Ger- ard Butler, Izabella Scorupco, Alexander Siddig. Directed by Rob Bowman. In present day London, 12- year old Quinn’s mother, a con- struction engineer, accidentally wakes up an enormous fire- breathing dragon from cen- turies of sleep. After 20 years, the dragon and her babies have seared the earth. Quinn (Christian Bale) has become fire chief of a small community and is responsible for defending it from the drag- ons. He joins with an American named Van Zan (Matthew Mc- Conaughey) who says he has a way to kill all the monsters. ROAD TO PERDITION Starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Albert Molina, and Stanley Tucci. Directed by Sam Mendes. Hit man Michael O’Sullivan, known as the Angel of Death to his friends and enemies, is as devoted to his life as a husband and father as he is to his job. When those worlds collide and his wife and youngest son are killed, O’Sullivan is left with his oldest son, Michael Jr. They leave what was their peaceful home and begin a jour- ney of revenge. Set in Chicago during the depression-era, the film is based on a DC serialized mys- tery comic strip novel written by Max Allan Collins and illus- trated by Richard Piers Rayner. THE CROCODILE HUNTER: COLLISION COURSE Starring Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, Magda Szubanski, David Wenham. Directed by John Stainton. Australian adventurer Steve Irwin, known as ‘The Crocodile Hunter’, has snagged another beauty of a crocodile and is hoping to save it from poachers. However, the croc has previ- ously swallowed a top secret U.S. satellite beacon and the poachers after it are really American special agents sent to get it back. Through the out- back and bush with his wife Terri, the Crocodile Hunter is out to save and relocate the croc. If he can handle bird-eat- ing spiders, venomous snakes, and gun-wielding agents, sav- ing the croc shouldn’t be much of a problem. HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Tyra Banks, Bianca Kajlich, Busta Rhymes, Sean Patrick Thomas, Luke Kirby. Directed by Rick Rosenthal. Six college students have agreed to stay in the childhood home of serial killer Michael Myers. The doors are locked, the windows have been boarded up, and video cameras are all over the house to broadcast the night live on the Internet. But there’s a problem: Michael’s back.

It’s the huge variety of the very best toppings money can buy. And we have that vast selection of mouth watering toppings day in and day out. Every day. We don’t have to limit the choices of our toppings to a few flavours a month and then change them each month. Over 30 toppings every day ! How can we keep such an incredible selection of fresh toppings on hand at all times ? It’s because of the huge volume of desserts that we sell in this store and that IDQ sells world wide. Everything moves and it’s always fresh and OF COURSE every dessert is hand made. Yes people purchase pale imitations of our desserts to save a few cents but a close look at the weights and size of these products will show that we are truly competitive. NO ONE can match the taste, quality and size of our desserts or the variety. NO ONE. Do you know all the toppings we sell at our store ? Did you know that we have three hot toppings alone. Three, HOT FUDGE, HOT CARAMEL AND HOT BUTTERSCOTCH. Now watch as the server pumps it out at 140 degrees. Did you notice the stainless steel warmers the hot toppings are pumped from ? The S/S warmers ensure that the heat will be evenly distributed and that the toppings will flow majestically and smoothly over the soft serve. Actually we have three varieties of fudge topping alone ! HOT FUDGE for our sundaes, Peanut Buster Parfaits, the Chocolate Rock and the Pecan Mudslide. COLD FUDGE, a special blend we can mix into a blizzard, to keep it upside down thick without any melting occurring. CHOCOLATE CRACKLE FUDGE which is an exclusive combination of Cocoa and Fudge used in our Frozen Hot Chocolate and our Georgian Mud Fudge. Want more chocolate ? Our blizzard toppings include chocolate chunks, chocolate brownie pieces, Skor, Oreo Cookie, and Reeses Pieces. How about fruit toppings: blueberries, strawberries, pineapple and raspberries, You want nuts ? We have fresh Spanish peanuts, fresh Georgia whole pecans, a special blend of seasoned almonds and crushed Spanish nuts. Yes! And of course your dessert wouldn’t be a dessert without a pump of our new ON TOP whipped topping which is low in fat but rich in taste. OPPOSITES ATTRACT: For instance the marriage of our hot smooth Caramel topping cascading down over our ice cold creamy soft serve creates a deeply rich caramel vanilla surge of flavour that longs to be repeated over and over again. Topped with pecans and whipped topping and the marriage is complete.

Golf with the moon as your guide and help CNIBFelicien kneels to mounting injuries Local athlete skips Commonwealth Games, focuses on 2003 BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —Pickering’s Perdita Felicien will not run for Canada at the 2002 Common- wealth Games. The Canadian champion in the 100-metre hurdles declined to run at the games, July 25 to Aug. 4 in Manchester, England, citing nagging injuries to her heel and knees — as well as fa- tigue — as the reasons behind her decision. “There are just physically a lot of things that I need to get healed up right now,” Felicien said in a phone interview from Champaign, Illinois. “For safe- ty’s sake and to be ready for next year, I decided to sit out the rest of this summer.” That’s not to say the 21-year- old hurdles phenomenon isn’t frustrated she won’t be repre- senting Canada on the interna- tional stage. “It is definitely disappoint- ing,” said Felicien, who’s enter- ing her senior year at the Univer- sity of Illinois in the fall. “I would love to go and be there and compete for Canada. The Commonwealth Games is a big event and Canada has always done well there. I’ve done every- thing to this point to be ready for the games, but it came down to my knees and a bone bruise on my heel. It’s really hard for me to run.” Her injuries, she explained, should have kept her out of both the National Collegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Louisiana and the 2002 Canadi- an Track and Field Champi- onships in Edmonton last month. “I ran at the (NCAA) nation- als with these injuries as I felt an obligation to the school. I shouldn’t have run at Canadians, but I thought I owed it to the country to run. I thought if I’m going to be in the world champi- onships in Paris in 2003 and the Olympics (in Athens) in two years time, I have to let these things heal.” She didn’t train during the three-week period leading up to the Canadian championships. In fact, she was on crutches with her badly bruised heel, suffered at the Big Ten Conference Championships in May, for most of that period. Despite the in- juries, she was still able to win the 100m hurdles crown. “I thought that it would prob- ably be the last race until Febru- ary. I just sucked it up, toughed it out and just tried to make the best of it,” she said. The physical rigours of the past season weren’t the only fac- tors in her decision to skip the games. “It’s a bit mental, too,” she said. “I’ve been running hard and juggling school at the same time. It’s sort of a blessing. It will allow me to recharge and have a better season next year.” That’s not to suggest her past season wasn’t filled with tri- umphs. In addition to her Cana- dian crown, she won the 60m in- doors and 100m outdoors NCAA hurdles titles, the first time an Illinois athlete has ever accomplished this feat. Felicien won the 60m title in an NCAA record time of 7.90, and the 100m crown in 12.91 seconds. She was also named the Uni- versity of Illinois female athlete of the year for the second year in a row. In addition to running for Canada at the worlds next year, the 2000 Canadian Olympian also plans to defend her NCAA hurdles titles. “Winning back-to-back NCAA titles in the same year is exactly what I set out to do. I’m hoping to do that again next year. I feel I’m an old veteran at that. Next year, I think I can do the same thing and break some records while I’m at it.” PERDITA FELICIEN ‘For safety’s sake...I decided to sit out the rest of this summer.’ A/P PAGE 24 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 12, 2002 *Sales Representative **Associate Broker ***Broker/Owner SUN., JUNE 14, 2-4 P.M., 45 INGLEWOOD PLACE, WHITBY RARE FIND! 3 CAR GARAGE + INCOME POTENTIAL! - Exclusive area - Custom “Corvinelli” built - Premium pie-shaped lot - Separate entrance to prof. fin. bsmt. - 4 bdrm. + 4 baths - 2 gas fps., hardwood, ceramics - Whirlpool tub, cent. air cond., cent. vac., 200 amp. - Prof. landscaped w/underground sprinkler system & interlocking + 2 tier deck - Too many upgrades to list!!!

Bantam squad posts 35-28 win, improve league record AJAX —The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins and Markham Raiders lit up the scoreboard last week- end, as the local club posted its fourth win of the year. Joe Dublin led the Dolphins with two touchdowns in the 35- 28 win during Central Ontario Minor Football League bantam action July 7 at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School in Ajax. Ajax-Pickering, which improved its season record to 4-2, also got scoring from Ryan Bard- gett with one touchdown and two, two-point converts, touchdowns from Ola Allen and Erik Glavic, and a one-point convert from Ryan Mungal. The bantams now enjoy a short break before returning to the gridiron, owing to six mem- bers of the club being on the COMFL bantam all-star team heading to Montreal for a week. Players Milos Kucevic, Brett Lacey, Nick Schembri, Derek VanDusen and Dan West are on the club, joined by head coach Jim Bardgett. The bantams’ next game is at home against the North York Grizzlies Sunday, July 21 at noon at Pine Ridge Secondary School, 2155 Liverpool Rd. N. In other Dolphins action, the collegiate club lost its recent game to the Burlington Stamped- ers, although no score or details were reported. The collegians are also in action at Pine Ridge July 21.
