HomeMy WebLinkAboutNA2002_07_31BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —City council has put the freeze on development in north Picker- ing. With the exception of Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, council voted unani- mously Monday to pass an in- terim control bylaw that would halt all development in the area where the City is cur- rently conducting a growth management study. The area is bordered by Brock Road in the east, the York/Durham Town Line in the west, Hwy. 7 to the north and the Canadian Pacific Rail- way’s Belleville line to the south. The area includes the Seaton lands, which the Province is swapping with de- velopers for Oak Ridges Moraine lands in Markham and Uxbridge, the details of which have yet to be finalized. Ward 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner, who spearheaded the move to have the bylaw passed, said the City was placing the freeze on development to protect itself from the Province handing de- velopers “clear rights to de- velopment” of Seaton and also allowing them to bypass the local planning process. He said under the Province’s own Planning Act, the City has the right to place an interim control bylaw on an area it is studying. “This will ensure no leapfrogging over the local planning process and ensure solid planning even if the Province completes the land swap and gives away clear de- velopment rights,” he told councillors Monday. “It will create a level playing field.” Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland agreed the interim bylaw would give Pickering the protection it wants. “I have a great fear of how this whole thing is being han- dled by the provincial govern- ment. The Province of Ontario is operating in the shadows,” he said. “The more I hear the Province doesn’t like (the idea of an interim control bylaw) the more I think it’s a good idea... The Province of On- tario has another agenda here and I think this interim con- trol bylaw may help us find out what the real deal is on this land swap... We will have a hand in determining our own future.” Coun. Johnson said he had his own dealings with the Province over the Seaton swap and was upset with other councillors stepping on what he called his “turf”. He complained vigorously about the fact he had to find out about other councillors dealings in regards to his ward by reading about it in the AT A GLANCE Help bring Durham police puppets to life DURHAM —Durham Re- gional Police are looking for a few good puppeteers.

Pickering trade centre to make way for new retailers Developer plans big box stores while working to find new home for flea market vendors BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The demise of the Metro East Trade Centre was ultimately ap- proved by Pickering’s commit- tee of the whole Monday night, but council will wait until Sep- tember to ratify the move. The delay allows a deal for moving the Pickering Markets to a new location to be hashed out. Ornella Richichi, senior project manager with First Pro- fessional Shopping Centres Limited (First Pro), parent company of the owners of the trade centre site First Simcha Shopping Centres Limited, told councillors Monday First Professional bought the site in 2000 with the intention of re- development. She said the trade centre never fulfilled its promise and the company sought a more ef- ficient use of the property. Phase 1 of the redevelop- ment was the construction of the Wal-Mart store currently on the property and Ms. Richichi said Phase 2 would start this fall, culminating with the opening of 140,000 square feet of ‘big box’retail space in Feb- ruary. She also said by the end of 2003, 530,000 sq. ft. of retail space would fill the site, em- ploying 1,200 people and gen- erating approximately $2,380,000 in property taxes. The Metro East Trade Centre produces $280,000 in taxes. “Pickering residents will have an equal shopping experi- ence enjoyed by other munici- palities in their own back yards,” she said. “This will bring benefits to the City both in terms of revenue and shop- ping.” However, The Pickering Markets, the trade centre’s biggest tenant and Canada’s largest flea and antique market, ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo The Metro East Trade Centre site on Brock Road will be redeveloped in the coming months after a bid by First Professional was approved by a City committee Monday. A new local home is being sought for weekend flea market vendors. Pickering boy killed in ATV mishap Eight-year-old was riding at popular private trail PICKERING ––An eight- year-old boy was killed Sunday after falling from an all-terrain vehicle he was riding on private property, police say. Andrew Michael Mason was driving the four-wheel Yamaha on property belonging to a family friend on Sideline 6, in north Pickering, when the accident happened at about 5:10 p.m., said Sergeant Paul Malik. Andrew, from Cedarcroft Crescent, was found trapped underneath the overturned ATV by the family friend, said Sgt. Malik, police spokesman. The friend, Durham EMS and air ambulance personnel made “heroic efforts” to save the boy, who died at the scene before he could be air-lifted to hospital. Police said Andrew and his uncle had frequently visited the friend’s property and rode ATVs on a course behind the residence. Sergeant Tom Whiteway, head of the department’s traffic services unit, which is investi- gating the fatality, said the rid- ers were “safety conscious.” He said Andrew was wear- ing proper safety equipment in- cluding a helmet and chest pro- tector at the time of the acci- dent. The boy, his uncle and the friend were off-roading togeth- er earlier in the day, Sgt. White- way said. At the time of the fatal mishap, however, Andrew was “out on his own” riding the 1996 Yamaha, and no one wit- nessed him fall. Rules requiring supervision under the Off-Road Vehicles Act, a provincial statute, apply to public trails and not private property, he said. “It’s really a tragic set of cir- cumstances. Apparently he had been riding for some time and was an experienced driver, even at his young age,” he said.

Keeping her clients’ feet healthy is just one of numerous health care services provided at the Street Health Services Clinic. The clinic is one of several grass- roots organizations across Durham that will be getting a hand-up from $250,000 in funding thanks to the Community Participation Bonus program. The provincial funding is provid- ed to the Region of Durham when it meets quotas for finding volunteer positions with non-profit agencies for Ontario Works recipients. Be- tween April 1, 2001 and March 31, 2002, the Region placed 1,967 clients in those types of positions, more than 600 placements above its target of 1,301 placements. Nine agencies will receive fund- ing through the program, which is expected to provide $660,000 in total in 2002. Agencies receiving funding, in addition to the Gate 3:16 clinic are: Durham Children’s Aid Society; Rose of Durham; Resources for Ex- ceptional Children; YWCA; John Howard Society; College Park Sev- enth-Day Adventist Community Ser- vices; Durham Region’s Family Ser- vices Program and Durham Region’s Health Department’s Dental Health Division. “I would like to congratulate all staff members of Ontario Works for exceeding the community participa- tion targets for 2002,” says Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “Be- cause of their hard work and dedica- tion this money is available for these worthwhile programs and these agencies are better able to serve our region and our residents.” For Gate 3:16, the funding will mean it can continue to provide medical services for the rest of the year as an interim measure until more stable funding is secured. The program, which began with seed money from the federal government, is hoping to receive provincial fund- ing in 2003 under the auspices of the Ministry of Health. The service is critical to many people who don’t have doctors and in many cases, don’t even have a health card, says Ms. Lofsky. As a nurse practitioner, she can prescribe antibiotics for earaches, sore throats and other infections, administer im- munizations, counsel those with mental health issues and provide preventive health care for those at greatest risk. “This is great news. It means we can stay open,” she says. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Catherine Lofsky, of the Gate 3:16 drop-in shelter for the homeless in Durham, welcomes funding that will help provide medical services for the remainder of 2002. Teens attacked with bats, pipes in Pickering Youth’s jaw broken in confrontation PICKERING ––A teenager suf- fered a broken jaw when he and three friends were attacked by youths armed with bats and pipes in Rouge Valley. Durham Regional Police said the victims, three males and a female be- tween the ages of 18 and 20, were sitting at the lifeguard tower at the foot of Dyson Road when confronted by two other teens about 11:15 p.m. Friday. The pair asked for beer from the victims, and were given one each, police said. After downing the beer the pair asked for more, but the vic- tims refused. They were joined by a group of friends, some armed with bats and pipes, and began beating the male victims, who fled on foot and called the police. The victims were struck in the head during the attack and were taken to hospital, one with a broken jaw and the others with facial cuts and bruising. The female was not hurt. The police helicopter unit searched the area and it’s believed the suspects fled Pickering in several cars heading west toward Toronto. DURHAM ––Durham Region- al Police Volunteers will be finger- printing children during three days in August. Fingerprinting will be conduct- ed Aug. 17 at Oshawa’s Lakeview Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Aug. 21 and 23 at Five Points Mall from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Records will be retained by parents. The fingerprinting is being held in partnership with KIDS PRINTZ, an international child identification program working with police agencies, school boards and companies. Parents can get their children fingerprinted in August Extreme weather hits region Monday, but no serious damage reported DURHAM —There’s been no confirmation of funnel cloud activity in the area after an intense lightning and wind storm swept through Durham Monday evening. “We have not received any dam- age reports as yet,” said Environment Canada’s Julie Sheremeto at noon Tuesday. “It’s not likely there will be any confirmation.” Environment Canada’s radar indi- cated the conditions were right for funnel clouds and tornadoes to form at the peak of Monday’s storm, which downed trees and branches and knocked out power in scattered loca- tions throughout the area. A tornado warning had been issued for all of south Durham Region because of the conditions. At 6:23 p.m., there was a report of a funnel cloud at King and Centre streets in Oshawa’s downtown, Ms. Sheremeto said. The warning was cancelled about one hour later by Environment Cana- da as the system weakened and moved to the east. Along with most of southern On- tario, Durham was hit with the thun- der and lightning show, accompanied by high winds and rain, in the late af- ternoon and early evening.

Motorcycle club is ‘staking claim’locally BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer AJAX —An international outlaw motorcycle gang and longtime enemy of the infamous Hells Angels has es- tablished roots in Durham Region with a clubhouse in Ajax, say police, who are “closely monitoring” the move. “Our information is the Outlaws Motorcycle Club is staking claim to Ajax, but no official chapter has been identified at this point,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham Regional Police spokesman. With a two-year-old Hells Angels chapter in Oshawa, the increased presence of one of its rivals isn’t being taken lightly by local authori- ties. Sgt. Malik said the force’s intelli- gence and outlaw biker units are “closely monitoring activities” at the currently unmarked clubhouse, locat- ed at the back of a plaza at 855 West- ney Rd. S. The unit’s landlord, Orlando Maz- zotta, who was interviewed at the property Tuesday, said he leased the space without knowing it was for the club. “A guy I deal with for years said he needed it for storage,” the landlord said. He added the other businesses in the building “don’t feel good” about the presence of the club. No Durham Region or Ajax chap- ter has been officially announced on the club’s Web site, nor has the Out- laws’ skull and crossed pistons em- blem been posted outside the com- mercial unit, which has been under- going renovations. There are stickers posted on the doors noting there are closed-circuit cameras. “There’s a level of concern be- cause we don’t know anything about these people,” said Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor Jim McMas- ter, in whose ward the clubhouse is located. “I’m not sure there’s anything we can do about it.” The gang’s arrival is no surprise to police. There had been rumblings for months as police noticed an in- creased presence in Ajax-Pickering of members of the Outlaws and their puppet club, the Black Pistons, at area taverns and strip clubs, said Sgt. Malik, adding several members live in the region. Earlier this year, police warned of a looming “biker war” after a mem- ber of the Bandidos, the Hells An- gels’ arch rivals, was stabbed outside an Oshawa strip club in an apparent ambush. In addition, several local Angels have been charged in unrelat- ed incidents during the past year. “We stated our concerns previous- ly and the concerns are still the same. Is there room for two (outlaw clubs) in Durham Region? There isn’t room for any criminal activity,” Sgt. Malik said. Last weekend, officers arrested one member and one “associate” of the Black Pistons outside the West- ney Road location. Steven Gisitsch, 34, of Toronto, was charged with possession of co- caine and breach of an undertaking stemming from a prior release that included terms to stay out of Durham, said Sgt. Malik. A leather Black Pistons vest also was seized. Curtis Christopher Jones, 38, of no fixed address, was charged with breach of undertaking for violating a term he remain in Toronto. Just a couple of weeks ago, Ajax council passed a bylaw prohibiting fortification of property in the town, a bylaw many Ontario municipalities are passing with biker clubhouses in mind. Ajax bylaw services manager Dave Williams said the bylaw was “approved to deal with any sort of potential situation that could arise when basic fortification takes place.” He said enforcement would be car- ried out by police in the case of biker clubhouses. Approving the bylaw is “some- thing the police have been after mu- nicipalities to do,” he stated. The Outlaws, whose logo is dubbed ‘Charlie’, boasts on its Web site it is one of the world’s oldest and largest “one percenter” motorcycle clubs. The “one percenter” term was adopted by outlaw bikers based on the common statistical reference that 99 per cent of motorcyclists are law- abiding citizens. The Outlaws were founded in 1935 in Chicago as the McCook Out- laws MC. Now, there are more than 60 chapters across the United States, eight in Ontario and numerous others in over 12 countries worldwide. Currently there are Ontario chap- ters in Windsor, Woodstock, St. Catharines, Toronto, London, Mon- treal, Sault Ste. Marie and Ottawa. Police say the Outlaws, like other biker gangs, are typically linked to drug trafficking, prostitution, theft, loansharking and other illegal activi- ty. In a Web site “rebuttal” to an arti- cle in a U.S. newspaper, the Outlaws called unfair the police portrayal of the club as a criminal organization. “The Outlaws Motorcycle club as a group does not condone or promote such activities... In reality, if some members acting on their own accord as individuals were guilty of some of these allegations it was done without the club’s sanction or participation,” the club said. “The Outlaws Motorcycle club is not a drug-dealing criminal enter- prise as some law enforcement agen- cies try to make you believe... While it is true some other large clubs do engage in highly publicized criminal activity such as drug-dealing... you will not read about these activities in regards to the Outlaws MC. We are not at war with individuals or any other clubs.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 31, 2002 FALL REGISTRATIONFALL REGISTRATIONFALL REGISTRATION Becky, Paul & Courtney of O’Brien Dance Centre inc. two time winners of over-all high score Pre-teen duets & trios, two special awards, three platinum, one dynamic gold, one gold, one first place, two second place, and one third place medals.

Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul Malik said a fight over a girl resulted in the 27-year- old victim being shot outside a home on Varcoe Road about 1 a.m. on July 21. “There was a gathering of some people at the residence when the two wanted men allegedly were in- volved in the dispute over a girl, which escalated into a fight with the victim,”said Sgt. Malik, police spokesman. “They took it outside and the guns came out.” Sgt. Malik alleged both suspects were armed with handguns and fired the weapons. The victim was hit once in the shoulder. He was treated at hospital for non-lifethreatening injuries and re- leased. Detectives last week issued arrest warrants for the two suspects, both Scarborough men whose pho- tographs were released by police to the public. Accompanied by their lawyers, the pair turned themselves in at po- lice headquarters in Oshawa sepa- rately in recent days, Sgt. Malik said. Jason Hindmarsh, 24, was arrest- ed Friday and charged with aggra- vated assault and mischief. Andrew Dell, 25, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravat- ed assault and discharge of a firearm with intent to wound. They were detained pending bail hearings in Oshawa provincial court. Police are continuing the investi- gation into the shooting and are ask- ing anyone with information to call detectives at 905-579-1520, ext. 1691, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. News Advertiser. “We need to work with the government and work with the members and quit working through the media,” he said. “I would like some courtesy, I’m trying to work through this and I think we’d get a lot more with sugar and honey than by putting things in the media.” He said all the Province is trying to do is finalize the land swap and believes the City has an opportunity to work with the government. But, Mayor Wayne Arthurs disagreed, say- ing the interim control bylaw was the best strategy to pro- tect the integrity of the City’s growth manage- ment study, which will eventu- ally guide development in north Pickering, including Seaton. “This will not frus- trate what the Province needs to do,” he added. The bylaw freezes development in the area for up to one year in order to allow the City to complete the study. While council can rescind the freeze at any time, following the first year it must approve a second year if it wishes. How- ever, following that, the bylaw may not be continued for a third year. would be displaced by the new construction. Arley Karpman, a lawyer representing more than 40 ven- dors at the markets, told coun- cillors the tenants’ first goal is to stay where they are, but real- izing that is an unrealistic re- quest, a new home proposed by Invar Building Corporation at the corner of Bayly Street at Squires Beach Road is favourable. But, Mr. Karpman said Invar cannot move ahead with its construction plans until the company that runs the flea mar- ket, Charter Hall, is released from its contractual obligations with First Professional that does not allow it to negotiate a deal to move the markets. He also said it needs to work out an arrangement whereby the markets’ move from the trade centre to its new home is done seamlessly. “We need First Pro to release Charter Hall from their contrac- tual obligations. “Right now we’re at a stand- still,” he said. “First Pro wants to demolish in February 2003 and the Invar site won’t be ready until June or July 2003, that’s a gap of four to six months. We need more time to deal and we hope council can urge First Pro to release Charter Hall and help make the move to the new home a seamless transi- tion.” The committee approved re- zoning the lands to delete the trade centre usage, allow in- creased retail space and for- warded its recommendation to regional council to amend the Durham Official Plan. In delay- ing final approval of the demo- lition and new development until the Sept. 17 meeting of council, councillors said they hoped Charter Hall would be released and some indication would be presented that a deal is close to being finalized for the markets to move into the new home. Following Monday’s meet- ing, Ms. Richichi said she was “confident” First Professional can work out an arrangement with Charter Hall and Invar within the next few weeks. She also said if both sides were willing to bridge the gap a little, perhaps a seamless transi- tion for the Pickering Markets could be arranged.

The Missis- sauga resident conducted a cit- izen’s arrest on a Brougham woman after he witnessed a hit- and-run colli- sion on Toronto Street. According to police, the judge was sit- ting in his car with his wife around 2:45 p.m. when he witnessed a ve- hicle south- bound on Toronto Street cross over the centre line and sideswipe an- other car. Police said the judge fol- lowed the vehi- cle when it did not stop while his wife used her cellphone to call north Durham police. The judge continued to follow the sus- pect and honked his horn before she fi- nally pulled over on Brock Road. He then used his citi- zen’s power to arrest the woman. Offi- cers arrived on scene shortly after and took the woman into custody. Debbie Tillaart, 31, of Sideline 16, is charged with impaired dri- ving and failing to remain at the scene of a colli- sion. P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 31, 2002 Proud members of Ontario’s Progressive Conserva- tives boast they are the only party that protects taxpayers’ money, but they are failing to deliver. The Tories, first under premier Mike Harris and now Ernie Eves, have talked more than any other party about safeguarding the public purse. This theme runs through almost every line of their Common Sense Revolution program that won them two elections. They keep passing laws with such names as the Tax- payer Protection and Government Efficiency acts. They have imposed so-called “business plans” on every branch of every ministry detailing almost how to sharpen the pencils. Mr. Harris tried to suggest the Tories are more prudent than others by claiming “we are not govern- ment — we are the guys who came to fix government.” Tory businessmen in govern- ment have long jeered their Liberal and New Democrat opponents, saying they have “never met a pay- roll”, the cardinal sin, and their lat- est cry is government must be “ac- countable” with public money. But all the talk has not prevent- ed spending excesses like those re- vealed in Hydro One, the provin- cially-owned electricity transmis- sion network. According to govern- ment, the chief executive had an annual $2.18 million salary and perks including $214,000 in car al- lowances plus $110,000 for limou- sines (you could run a Formula One racing team for less) and membership in seven expensive clubs. The utility also spent $360,000 to sponsor yacht racing, the CEO’s favourite sport, and the elected To- ries, supposed to be keeping an eye on things, appeared to know none of this until news media and oppo- sition parties blew the whistle. There have been other spending abuses that taxpayers struggling to pay groceries can readily appreci- ate. Two ministers, Chris Stockwell and Tim Hudak, and their staffs had hefty bills for late-night drinks paid by the government, despite its poli- cy of not reimbursing for alcohol, and others even billed for fishing li- cences and chewing gum. Health Minister Tony Clement was found paying an aide $300,000 a year, four times what such assis- tants normally are paid, the only explanation being he is a longtime Tory party worker. The Tories have not been rea- sonably alert in business dealings. They sold a piece of land for $1.27 million, which the purchaser promptly resold for $3.9 million, and another for $1.92 million, which the lucky buyer resold for $4.39 million. They also privatized a stretch of the toll road Hwy. 407, part of which the purchaser resold for more than three times that amount. The Conservatives promised to make Ontario a good place for business, but did they have to make it this good? But no one should be surprised by these misjudgments by Tories who claim to be businesslike. The last long-lived Tory government under William Davis, premier from 1971-85, started building a domed sports stadium in Toronto, main- taining it would cost taxpayers only $30 million, but they wound up contributing $300 million before handing it over to private enter- prise. Mr. Davis invested $800 million of taxpayers’ money, including in- terest, buying shares of an oil com- pany, supposedly to get an inside view of what was going on in that industry at a time when he was worried about rising oil prices. The shares had to be sold in a depressed market for a loss of $410 million. Mr. Davis put another $140 mil- lion in an agency he set up to de- sign and sell innovative, high-tech rail commuter systems around the world, but packed this in and sold it for a mere $30 million. He also took over a bankrupt re- sort and poured $40 million into it trying to make it workable, but eventually it was sold to private en- terprise for a paltry one-tenth of that amount. Tories, when they get in power, prove not as smart at business as they claim and in business dealings they often get stung. They tend to want to help out business, whose donations help put them in govern- ment, and they are more tolerant of the big-business types they hire to help run government and fail to keep watch on them. The Tories, for a lot of reasons, have not been the defenders of the public purse they claim to be. You would not want them as your finan- cial advisers. Time to cut the purse strings Tories getting failing grade in managing taxpayers’money Lawyers, like politicians, aren’t often accorded an hon- oured position in the esteem of the public. No less a writer than William Shakespeare put it bluntly about 400 years ago in ‘Henry VI, Part 2’, “The first thing we do; let’s kill all the lawyers.” While that’s a phrase many would say has stood the test of time, for some of the most disadvantaged in our society, it’s the legal aid plan that stands a good chance of being killed. Lawyers are necessary to protect the administration of justice and to guarantee the basic Charter Right of being able “to re- tain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right”. The Ontario Legal Aid plan was set up decades ago in order to provide assistance for those in need of a lawyer but unable to afford one. Lawyers have complained for many years the hourly fee provided by the plan is insufficient to meet their costs. In fact, since 1987 there has been no increase in legal aid fees, prompting more and more lawyers to opt out of the plan. With a crisis developing and lawyers threatening to stop taking clients and to even boycott their court dates, the Province, which primarily funds the plan, broke down and raised the rate for the most experienced advocates to $87.93 per hour, from $83.75. That’s just a five-per cent raise and far below what the lawyers have called for. Lawyers have asked for a 26-per cent raise over three years, which would bring the rate to over $100 per hour. For lawyers sitting in on a day-by-day basis as duty coun- sel, the rate is just $70.35 per hour. And that’s a 23-per cent increase over what they’d been paid before. Durham lawyer Bernie O’Brien calls the increase, “about as paltry as it can get and woefully inadequate”. Some lawyers claim the rate doesn’t even cover all their office ex- penses and related overhead. While that will vary with each lawyer, it’s clear five per cent over 15 years isn’t going to solve the problem. The increase will amount to about $7 mil- lion more per year. The Province currently spends $238 mil- lion per year on legal aid. Lawyers point out if the plan only kept up with the annual rate of inflation it would be up to $98 per hour. It would seem more adjustment is needed. The administration of justice, the need for fair and equi- table treatment in our courts, is something we must continue to fight for. It comes at a steep cost but it’s clearly a vital com- ponent and central to our claim to being one of the most pro- gressive countries in the world. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 31, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Too many accountability questions To the editor: I really do like most of the vari- ous local councillors, trustees, and staff I have had to deal with. I just have to wonder at times whether, as groups, there is a sufficient level of accountability being demonstrated to the public these days. For example, Ajax and Durham Region recently reapproved the Tribute/Runnymede’s Nottingham housing development, despite the Town spending almost $1 million fighting it at the Ontario Municipal Board. Evidently, both the Official Plan and Town staff recommenda- tions were ignored in this process. Even the developers submitted a new proposal after the original set- tlement agreement with the Town. Both Ajax and Durham also seemed pleased about capping their contributions to an out-of-control interchange project that has missed all of its budget and timeline targets by extraordinary amounts. The Durham public isn’t even going to be allowed to elect its own regional chairman and avoid the controversy surrounding the cur- rent appointee, who did not face the electorate. Are we not as capable as Waterloo Region voters in electing our leaders? Even the Durham District School Board has displayed the same accountability symptoms, suffering with the eighth-lowest funding level in Ontario despite a local MPP being the education minister during that period. It also created a myriad of public relations nightmares, such as its school clos- ing process, which has impacted its credibility. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish won- ders if the public even cares. Well, more of us care about some of these issues than he probably realizes. Maybe it just takes someone to mo- bilize the masses and ask the ques- tions that need to be asked. Kim Sadler Ajax City fumbles playground decision To the editor: Re: ‘Residents swing into action,’ July 17. As a 36-year resident of West Shore and a mother of a two- and three-year-old I feel the whole playground issue could have been handled better by the City of Pick- ering. I arrived with my kids at the park one day only to find it torn down and gone. Helpful City grass-cutting staff informed me it was being re- placed with equipment further south. First of all, perhaps it would have been better to locate the new site before tearing down the old playground. It might also have been nice to let residents know about the proposed change. It is true there was a lot of van- dalism at the old playground, and I, along with all the mothers and home-care workers I meet there, am thrilled about the new loca- tion. We look forward to the play- ground and being able to enjoy such a nice setting. And yes, many children do live in the area and it’s a perfect central place for people to walk to. So parking is not an issue. The residents who can see the playground will also be able to see any potential vandals and call police, therefore saving the City and taxpayers money. I’m truly sorry for those resi- dents who believe children having fun and the community at large enjoying our bay, inconveniences them. Shame on you, last time I checked, the bay was something we all own and should be able to enjoy!

It is not clear who the two other gentleman are. The Field family started with a farm by the lake, where Rotary Park now sits. It is known the farm was well-established in 1893 when Thomas Field purchased the Post Hill house, also known as the Field House, adjacent to the Post Hill apartment complex on Hwy. 2 at Chapman Drive. The Post Hill house was rented out until 1911 when Thomas, his son Claude and family moved in. When Claude’s son George got married, a brick house was built for him and his new bride on the family farm. George, his wife Mar- garet and their children lived there until it was expro- priated by the government for development of the De- fence Industries Limited ammunition plant. The Field House remained in the family until 1987. NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 31, 2002 PAGE A7 P 24 Hour Access 905-420-4660 cityofpickering.com905-420-2222 Get Your Tele-Reg I.D.

Nine-year-old Felicia Tayler creates her own geyser with a bath toy while out recently with friends at the Memorial Outdoor Pool. Local youth can get fit and win United Way joins Ajax, Pickering in promoting active lifestyles AJAX —Teenagers can survive the summer with the chance to win prizes. The Town of Ajax, City of Pickering and The Youth Centre have created ‘Sur- vive the summer’, with funding support from the local United Way. The aim is to increase community awareness and encourage youths 13 to 19 to become more physically active. “We know that children and youth are less active today than in years past,” said Tracy McMurray, youth services co-ordinator with Ajax. “We want to give youth the opportunity this summer to participate in fun activi- ties that they might not nor- mally pursue. “Balancing time be- tween the computer or TV and physical activity is a good thing.” Free coupon books out- line activities in Pickering and Ajax. Each time a coupon is used, the youth’s name is entered in a draw. Supporting businesses have ballot boxes where entries can be deposited. Among the locations of- fering free or discounted ac- tivities are the Ajax Com- munity Centre, Memorial Outdoor Pool, the Pickering Recreation Complex, Dun- barton Indoor Pool, the Pet- ticoat Creek Conservation Area outdoor pool, and Putting Edge Mini Golf. Coupon books are avail- able at the East Shore Com- munity Centre on Liverpool Road south of Bayly Street in Pickering, and The Youth Centre on Bayly Street be- tween Westney Road and Finley Avenue in Ajax. There’s an early bird draw in mid-August and the grand prize draw is the first week of September. The contest closes Sept. 1 and winners will be con- tacted by phone. Classic Cellular, Roots, West49, Famous Players, National Sports and Plea- sure Valley have donated prizes.

BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff WriterKaren Auld is used to all kinds of reactions when it comes to dis- cussing retirement. “I’ve seen people 50 or 55, who are two years away from re- tirement but haven’t planned for it,” she says. “It’s like, ‘Oh, my God’, when they realize they’ll have to put away $10,000 a year for the next 10 years just to retire. “They just have no idea.” Retirement is much like hav- ing a baby, says the financial planner. We all think it sounds fun but never plan for it. While a lot of people wait until their 40s to start contribut- ing to registered retirement sav- ings plans, Ms. Auld says by that point, they’ve already missed out on valuable time. Retirement planning should begin in your 20s ideally, and at least your 30s, to take advantage of compound- ing interest, she says. For example, a 40-year-old can invest an initial lump sum of $500 plus $50 a month towards an RRSP until they retire at age 65 for a total contribution of $15,500. Under a modest five per cent annual rate of return, that contribution adds up to a nest egg of about $31,096.32. But a 20-year-old can invest the same amount of money and expect to have $102,878.67 when he or she retires at 65. Even more surprising, a 25- year-old can make an annual RRSP contribution of $2,400 for only 10 years and still hope to make as much as someone who begins contributing the same amount at age 32 for 32 years. Investing in your 20s makes sense too when you consider it’s probably the only time in your life when you aren’t faced with major bills, like a mortgage, al- though student loans have served to delay some young people from getting into the RRSP market, says Ms. Auld. “But the problem is most young people don’t realize they have to do it because most of us don’t have a concept of retire- ment even in our 30s and 40s,” she adds. “You have to force young people to think about it. Most of them are living pay- cheque to paycheque or living at home and have no concept of bills.” Ms. Auld, who speaks to schools on the topic through her Scugog-based business Auld In- surance and Financial Services, says there’s a lot of false security out there. Everyone should be con- cerned about having enough to retire on, unless perhaps they are teachers, police officers or munici- pal workers with substan- tial pension packages. And the days of working 20 years for the same company to build up a good pension plan are no longer the norm, she says. Some women are hit particularly hard when they retire. Those, who work part-time or in the retail industry don’t often have the luxury of pen- sions, says Ms. Auld. Tak- ing time off to raise a fam- ily can affect those who do have pensions, she says. “I see a lot of women in their 60s who have to clean homes after they re- tire,” she says. “I know women in their 70s doing real estate. Some have had to go back to living with relatives.” Mike Farrell, a char- tered financial planner with Foundation Finan- cial Services in Oshawa, suggests people take a long hard look at their pension plans well before retirement creeps up on the horizon. Many just have no idea what lies ahead of them, he says. A good pension plan will cover about 60 per cent of your annual in- come. Some employers, like Ontario Hydro or General Motors, cover even more, he says. The key is to decide what you want to do in your retirement, says Mr. Farrell, who like most planners asks their clients to visualize their lifestyle after 65, whether that includes regular travel or staying put. He then gives them a detailed worksheet listing all of he retire- ment income they will receive, plus the monthly expenses they plan to incur right down to restaurants, gas for the car, and even gifts. “I usually suggest some kind of rainy day fund as well in case of health problems down the road,” he says. “It’s important to have something to fall back on in case you have to go to a nursing home some day.” Determining one’s monthly expenses in retirement is the best tool to deciding how much to start investing today, Mr. Farrell says. “I see a lot of people who get caught up in paying their mort- gage and don’t invest when they are young,” he adds. “But you should approach it just like you’re paying a bill each month, except this one is for yourself.” Ms. Auld calls $50 a month “a reasonable sum” for a 20-year-old, but adds one’s con- tribution should increase in line with salary rais- es over the years. She also sug- gests regular monthly contribu- tions rather than purchasing one lump sum RRSP before the annu- al deadline, because interest rates fluctuate throughout the year. But even investing 10 per cent of one’s earnings can add up to substantial retirement savings if invested young enough, says Ms. Auld. “If you’ve read ‘The Wealthy Barber’, it’s true. You’ll never miss it,” she says. For those battling time, find- ing $1,000 each month to store away for retirement can be a daunting task, but Ms. Auld says it’s completely possible. It’s all about looking at what you really need to survive here and now to save for later, Ms. Auld says. She remembers one of her own friends,who at the age of 20, was convinced by his father and a life insurance agent to dedicate half his paycheque to an RRSP. There were days he couldn’t scrape together enough change to go in on a case of beer, she says. Still, he was able to buy his first house with cash at the age of 30 and has a nice nest egg ahead of him in his 40s today, Ms. Auld says.

What follows is my true story. How I stopped a 31-year smoking habit. How my dress size plunged from 14 to a sexy size 8. How hypnosis worked when all else failed. I started smoking when I was 16. I was hooked before I knew what hit me. For the last five years I was smoking two packs a day. Four years ago I tried to quit on my own. I gained 30 pounds. I was fat and still puffing away. I tried everything to stop. The patch, the gum, just putting them down. Nothing worked. The excess weight was unbearable. I hid my body under baggy clothes. I knew I was out of control. Amazing Results I was nervous the first time I was hypnotized. I didn’t want to do anything silly. Like you see on TV. My fears were unfounded. After the session, I was a different person. I was confi- dent. Happy. A day after my second ses- sion I lit a cigarette. I took a few drags and threw it out. It didn’t taste good. It stunk. I haven’t smoked since. No cravings. Zero withdrawals. Automatic Weight Loss Hypnosis made weight loss easy. I didn’t diet. Never felt deprived. I didn’t even know it was happening. My dress size plunged from a 14 to a sexy size 8. I lost 23 pounds. With hypnosis you don’t count calories or weigh food. You just sit back, relax and let your mind take back control. Hypnosis makes it so simple and easy even a child could be successful. My self-esteem is at an all time high. I look in the mirror and love what I see. Positive Changes Hypnosis deserves 100% of the credit. Recommends Positive Changes Hypnosis is special to me. They helped me when all else failed. That’s why I urge you to give them a call. Schedule your free hypnotic screening. They understand your needs and will do everything possi- ble to help. I finally rid myself of the old habits that devastated my health for years.

Paul Martin, 18, edged a familiar Durham Region rival to win gold in the 110-metre hurdles at the 2002 Canadian Junior Track and Field Championships in Kitchener-Water- loo, while also earning a silver medal in the 400m hurdles. In the process, the member of the Oshawa Legion Track Club managed to eclipse his previous personal best time in the 110m hurdles, winning gold over local rival and second-place finisher Cameron Sahadath of the Durham X-L’s Track Club in 14.28 seconds, bettering his old mark of 14.40. The key to the victory, said Martin, was total concentration. “I was focused, especially the day before. I practised the day of the final with some short sprints and I thought about getting a good start, but still being relaxed and running hard at the same time,” said Martin, who’s enter- ing his OAC year at Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School in the fall. Martin gave full credit to Saha- dath, a Pickering High School stu- dent, for a great race. He noted the friendly rivalry between them has been nothing but positive, helping Martin to new heights. “We both push each other. It’s a good rivalry and it makes it more ex- citing when he’s in the race,” said Martin. Where concentration was key to the sprint hurdles win, it deserted Martin for a fleeting second in the final of the 400m hurdles. Running neck and neck with John Opio of Al- berta, Martin suffered a slight stum- ble over the last hurdle, ultimately costing him a gold. Opio won the event in 54.09 seconds, with Martin Pickering sprinter fails to reach 100m finals at Commonwealth Games; gains valuable international experience BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A little disap- pointed with his performance, but nonetheless happy to compete on the international stage against many of the world’s best sprinters. That best summed up Anson Henry’s experience of competing in the premier event at the Common- wealth Games in Manchester, Eng- land — the men’s 100 metres — which took place at the City of Man- chester Stadium Friday and Saturday. The Pickering resident made his way through two heats before finish- ing a disappointing 11th overall with a time of 10.34 seconds in the meet’s second semifinal. A slow start, noted Henry, was his undoing in the semifinal. “I didn’t get out of the blocks as well as I had been. It didn’t set up the rest of the race well at all. And, I was way out there by myself in lane eight, which didn’t help. It didn’t go as well as I had planned,” said Henry in a telephone interview from Manches- ter. “I would be happier if I had run like I had all year, but I didn’t run as well as I wanted to. I don’t want to dwell on it. I just want to move for- ward from here and use it as a learn- ing experience.” The 23-year-old sprinter finished his first-round heat — the seventh of seven rounds — in 10.45 seconds. Henry finished second behind Aliu Desi of Nigeria. In the second of four second-round heats, he finished fourth in 10.36 to earn one of 16 semifinal spots on Saturday. Mark Lewis-Francis of England won the heat in 10.13 seconds. If there’s a silver lining to his Commonwealth Games experience, it was watching good friend, teammate and his roommate at the athletes’ vil- lage in Manchester, Pierre Browne, of Toronto, win the bronze medal in the 100m final. “If there was an upside for me, it was that,” said Henry. “I was happy to see him do well. I wanted to be in the final with him.” Now, the senior from Washington State University in Pullman, Wash. has to wait and see if he’ll run for Canada in the men’s 4-x-100m. He is uncertain whether he’ll be called upon for the race. “I believe so, but I’m not sure. I’m really tired right now, but I’m going to practice and we’ll see how every- thing goes. I might have to call it a season,” he said. With his event being so close to the start of the Games, Henry didn’t join the other Canadians in the parade of athletes during the opening cere- monies. “We would have been on our feet for five or six hours, so we were ad- vised to stay in the village and rest,” he said. Overall, the Commonwealth Games’ experience has been a posi- tive one. “For sure, I’m having a good time. The fans here love track,” he said.

Only days after her double-medal performance at the Ontario Summer Games, Maia Kirk, 13, led the field at Scarborough’s L’Amoreaux Tennis Centre, despite temperatures in the mid- 30s and soaring humidity. Seeded number two, Kirk took the court in the final to face number-one seeded Milijana Sobovic of London’s Greenhills Tennis Club. With the tem- perature at 34 C, both girls nonetheless rose to the occasion, playing spirited tennis. Kirk got out to an early lead, winning the first four games and taking the set 6-2. The second set was a hitting marathon,which Kirk eventually won 7- 5. Sunday’s semifinal match with Nicole Wedlock of the Ontario Racquet Club was already two hours old when, with the score knotted at 6-2, 5-7, Wed- lock withdrew. Kirk drew a bye in the first round. In the second round on Saturday, she faced circuit rival Chelsea Hseih, defeating her 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 in a match that lasted two hours and 40 minutes. Her next op- ponent, Natasha Bhalla of Scarborough, was dispatched quickly 6-3, 6-0. The GTA title caps a busy month for the Pickering teen. In addition to her Summer Games medals, Kirk was the under-14 finalist in the annual Mary Marshall Memorial Tournament in Erin Mills and under-16 finalist at the Scar- borough Tennis Federation Champi- onships. She also competed in the Under-16 Closed Provincial Champi- onships at the Milton Tennis Club.

Pickering teen serves another ace Maia Kirk, 13, has held a hot racquet of late, winning the GTA Summer Classic Tennis Tournament. Days earlier, she won two medals at the On- tario Summer Games in Kitchener-Waterloo. Sarangi advances to national championships following qualifying tournament in Toronto PICKERING —A Pickering player is moving on to nationals after a strong performance at the Under-14 National Selection Tennis Tournament at the Toron- to Granite Club last weekend. Mike Sarangi, 13, of the Pickering Tennis Academy at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex, was one of five early selec- tions in Ontario to earn a berth for the championships in August at the Rideau Racquet Club in Ottawa. There are three more team spots to be determined at another qualifying event next month. Sarangi’s inclusion at the na- tional tournament was based on finishing as the runner-up in Toronto. He battled to a close tiebreaker in the first set before succumbing to Mississauga’s Clay Donato 7-6, 6-3. Sarangi started his run to the finals by defeating Toronto’s Aamer Javed 1-6, 6-0, 6-1. A rainout postponed the sec- ond round for several weekends. When play resumed, Sarangi started out slowly, but came on strong to oust Niagara’s Julio Murch 6-3, 6-1. Sarangi’s coach, Dave Ochot- ta, noted he calmed down and re- ally began to focus midway through the first set, which car- ried on through the remainder of the match. In the quarter-final, Sarangi upset number-one seeded Anton Smirnov 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. There, he handily beat Jason Smits of Tren- ton 6-3, 6-2.

Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping and just sit as they balance their checkbook or cross something off of a list. Don’t do this; a predator could be watching, assessing the perfect opportunity to attack you. As soon as you get into your car, lock the doors and leave. Here are a few other tips for around the car: • Cars parked by your car - Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle and the passenger side. If someone is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to find a guard/police officer to walk you to your car. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into a van. • Sympathy ploy - Don’t be too quick to offer help to a stranger - as harsh as that may seem. That “handicapped” individual or well-dressed man who asks for help may actually be a predator. After all, Ted Bundy was a charming, attractive man who played on the sympathies of dozens of women.

Unfortunately, this fact remains true more than 100 years later. There is no known cure for the fatal illness that can strike anyone at any time, cruelly cutting short lives within three to five years following diagnosis, sometimes longer, but often in much less time. Organizations like the Durham Chapter of the ALS Society of Ontario work hard to raise money to find a cure and to help support those living with the disease. Again this fall, on Sept. 28, the chapter’s Walk to D’Feet ALS will be held in Ajax at Rotary Park. The volunteers also strive to raise awareness of the mysterious, deadly disease. ALS is the abbreviation for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a rapid and progressive neuromuscular disease that affects the motor neurons, leading to complete paralysis. ALS victims are usually lucid and quite aware of their fate as the muscles in their body controlling the arms and legs, speech and swallowing and, eventually, breathing weaken and stop functioning. It is estimated that between 1,500 to 2,000 Canadian live with ALS; two to three die every day. Twice as many people die each year of ALS than from cystic fibrosis and multiple sclerosis combined. Symptoms of ALS can begin with muscle weakness and fatigue. An individual may begin to trip and fall, lose the use of their hands and arms or have difficulty swallowing. Sometimes speech is affected and muscles may twitch but there is no specific order when the symptoms of ALS might appear. Diagnosis can take time and a thorough medical evaluation must be done followed by a neurological assessment. There is no known cause. The families of people living with ALS suffer, too. Knowing there is no cure is devastating enough, but a person living with the illness will require an average of $127,000 in equipment. Nursing care can exceed this amount many times over. The only reassuring fact for families is that ALS is rarely hereditary. For more information, contact the ALS Society of Ontario’s Durham Chapter at 905-668-2283.

Provincial Corporate Sponsors: Metroland Community Newspapers of Durham Region National Corporate Sponsors: finishing in 54.23. Martin has no doubt the small bobble cost him not only the gold, but a chance at earn- ing another personal best. “I was winning up to the second-last hur- dles. I stuttered a bit at the last hurdles in- stead of running straight through it. I believe if I had run straight through it, I would have won. Both of us were going stride for stride and it was a small difference in who was going to win the race.” Martin wasn’t the only area athlete to come home with medals from the junior na- tionals. Sprinter and jumper Tabia Charles, 17, of Pickering, also earned two medals. The triple jumper, who’s the current Canadian junior record holder in the event, easily captured gold with a leap of 12.49 metres. Sheriese Lucas, also of Pickering, won silver with a leap of 11.93 metres. Charles, competing for the Etobicoke Huskies Track Club, earned a silver medal in the long jump with a distance of 5.89 metres. Kerri-Ann Mitchell, of Pickering, represent- ing the Etobicoke Gladstone Track Club, won bronze with a leap of 5.87 metres. Lucas fin- ished in fourth place with a distance of 5.82 metres. Mitchell, a Pine Ridge graduate who com- pleted her freshman season with the Univer- sity of Arkansas women’s Lady Razorbacks track team, was also the silver medallist in the 100m. She finished second to Saska- toon’s Jenni Hucul in a time of 12.18 sec- onds. Lucas finished 13th overall in the 100m, followed by Charles in 14th place. Akiel John, who ran with the Pickering High School Trojans Track Team last school season, captured a silver medal in the triple jump with a distance of 14.48 metres. Kenen Shadd of Kitchener-Waterloo won the event with a leap of 15.28 metres. John also fin- ished 12th in the men’s long jump. Other local results: • Leigh Cushnie, of Pickering, finished 11th in the 100m hurdles and was 15th in the 400m hurdles. She represented the Oshawa Legion club. • T.J. Gibbs, also of Pickering High School, finished sixth in the high jump. He cleared 1.94 metres. NOTES:Mitchell also competed for Canada at the IAAF Coca-Cola World Junior Track and Field Championships in Kingston, Jamaica recently, where she competed in the 100m and the long jump. She finished sixth in the 100m semifinal in 11.95 seconds. The time, however, wasn’t good enough to move on to the finals. In the long jump, she fin- ished 12th in group ‘A’ in qualifying with a distance of 5.73 metres. That leap wasn’t enough to put her in the final.

The Pirates completed a perfect 4-0 outing to win the tourney crown, defeating a previously undefeated Bramp- ton squad 6-2 in the final. The peewees received outstand- ing pitching and defence to secure the title. Iain Smook was named the final’s most valuable player for his strong pitching performance. To get to the finals, the Pirates defeated Newmarket 11- 0 with exceptional offence and fantastic pitching. Mitchell Oke was the game MVP. The Pirates then went on to meet Hamilton, winning 10-0. Kyle Smeelen was named MVP for a double that cleared the bases and set the tone of the game. In Game 3, Pickering faced its old nemesis, the Whitby Chiefs. Down early in the game, the Pirates battled back to post a 12-5 win. Eric Watson was named the game’s MVP for his outstanding pitching and defence. Other team members are Eric Wilton, Tyler Henderson, Jeff Hannon, Ryan McMackin, Jeff Love, Andrew Adamac and Aaron Karamuth. Pirates claim ball title B.K. Baun Landscape Ltd.

SCOREBOARD from page B3 SCOREBOARD Durham woman has big-time dreams BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —Karrie Lynn Dymond’s life reads like the lyrics of a classic country song. Young mother overcomes a bad breakup and a bout with depression to pursue her long- time dream of becoming a country singer. “I’m really scared. This isn’t an easy business and there’s so much on the line,” said Dymond. “But I want this more than anything in the world. It means more to me than anything else except for my family of course.” Dymond is currently recording a three-song master with Wellcraft Music in Os- hawa under its development program for promising young musicians. Expected to be complete at the end of August, the master, different from a demo in its production quality, will be due for release in Octo- ber at which time one song is guaranteed play on a local radio station. Then it’s left up to fate and the hope other stations will spin her songs until eventually a record label pays attention. It’s taken two years of “ups and downs” to record the mas- ter, said Dymond. She and pro- ducer Jim Hobson didn’t like the first tracks she recorded and decided to redo them, and the project came to a slow- down because of money. Dymond said it’s been a struggle to finance her studio time but has done so with the help of her family, and holding car washes and benefit shows. The 27-year-old didn’t originally set out looking for musical fame, instead she wanted to become a cake and pastry designer. She spent her childhood moving around a lot, living in various parts of Scugog before settling in Ajax, where her class at the former Harwood Secondary School won an All-Ontario ginger- bread house award. Dymond was inches away from enrolling in George Brown College to study pas- tries but was stopped by an un- explainable feeling that, to this day, she doesn’t understand. Ask her about singing and she’ll recall her first memory of being sent away from a Christmas recital in Grade 4 because her teachers said she couldn’t sing, something that haunted her for years. Her first opportunity to prove them wrong came about nine years ago when a friend asked her to do some live shows with his band, Stone- haven, but her boyfriend at the time didn’t approve. Dymond was 18 and had just given birth to her son, Kyle. Their split years later sent Dymond into a depression and she turned to her love of music, belting it out on Karaoke machines and in jam sessions with friends. “It got to the point, the only time I was happy was when I had a microphone in my hand and my friends began to no- tice. People started saying to me, ‘Why don’t you do some- thing with this?’” she recalled. Since then, Dymond has been a finalist for the last three years running in the Cradle to Rave performance competition at the Corral in Oshawa; and was one of several artists fea- tured on a Christmas CD last year to raise money for Hos- pice Durham, a project co- sponsored by Wellcraft Music. “It was 140 degrees outside and I was singing ‘Blue Christmas’,” she said of her first studio experience. Dymond is also an accepted member of the Canadian Country Music Association, where she has met such greats as Terri Clark and The Good Brothers. She’s even secured her own five-man backup band, Time Off, made up of General Motors employees Keith Paradis, Dave Bradt, Paul Price, Brad Almond, and Claude Belaunget. “The three songs I chose for my master all have a little of me in them,” she said. “I chose ‘Breakin’ Away’ because of that relationship, ‘Go For Gold’ because I’m doing this, and ‘For A Moment’because it made me cry.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 31, 2002 PAGE B5 A/P Reduce •Reuse •Recycle •R eturn Quite possibly the most environmentally friendly store on earth.
