The High Enforcement, Zero Tolerance project was launched in response to concerns about the in- creasing number of street robberies in Pickering. During the past two weeks offi- cers from the street crime unit and Ajax-Pickering “Target Team” flooded parks and plazas where muggings had occurred, including the Pickering Recreation Complex, Skateboard Park, Hub Plaza and Pickering Town Centre. In total, police laid 27 criminal charges ranging from drug posses- sion and trafficking, robbery, theft, breach of probation, cause distur- bance and assault to resist arrest. Other charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act including drinking underage, supplying liquor to a person under 19 and having liquor in the open. BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer DURHAM —Tw o crows collected in Pickering and a third in Uxbridge earlier this month have tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV), bringing to five the number of infected birds discovered in Durham Region this year. And while infected birds have not been found in Ajax, Brock, Scugog or Oshawa this summer, Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham Region’s associate medical officer of health, said in an interview that doesn’t mean they are virus-free. “It is likely that every municipality within Durham has West Nile virus-positive birds,” she says. Dr. Reynolds says as a result of the recent find- ings, the region is focusing its mosquito-collection ef- forts using light traps in Pickering and Uxbridge. The purpose is twofold, she says: to look at the types of mosquitoes caught to see if they are va- rieties more likely to bite people, and to send the mosquitoes to Brock University for WNV testing. She says the Region has thus far sent 58 mosquito- filled traps for testing and is awaiting the results. Dr. Reynolds says public notification about the in- DONNA REYNOLDS ‘Likely that every municipality’has infected birds. DURHAM ––The number of police officers assigned to moni- tor the region’s growing outlaw biker population is increasing “significantly.” A Durham Regional Police spokesman said the force will benefit from an announcement Thursday by Ontario Minister of Public Safety and Security Bob Runciman to boost fund- ing of the Biker Enforcement Unit by $3 mil- lion. The BEU, once called Provincial Special Squad, includes offi- cers from 17 Ontario munic- ipal forces - in- cluding Durham - as well as RCMP and OPP. “We’ve seen an escalation of violence and indiscriminate use of firearms and explosives by outlaw mo- torcycle gangs,” said Mr. Runciman in making the announcement. The minister compared biker gangs to a “cancer” and promised po- lice will be giv- en the re- sources needed to combat them provincewide. “The gov- ernment won’t sit idly by while this crim- inal fraternity endangers law- abiding peo- ple,” he said. In Durham Region, police have repeatedly e xpressed growing fears in recent months about increasing ac- tivity among outlaw motor- cycle gangs here. Membership in the Oshawa chapter of the Hells Angels is rapidly grow- ing, while at the same time a rival gang, the Outlaws, have established a new clubhouse in Ajax, with a Durham chap- ter anticipated in the near future. Police officials welcomed the extra funding, said Sergeant Paul Malik. The provincial money will al- low the force to go ahead with plans to “significantly” increase the number of officers assigned full-time to Durham’s biker unit, although he refused to say by how many. Sgt. Malik suggested among the increased manpower will be officers seconded to the provin- cial BEU, which reimburses mu- nicipal police services.

Last year, AMO successfully lobbied to get a new municipal act passed –– the first time such a change has been implemented in more than 150 years. Mr. Anderson went head-to- head with Thunder Bay Mayor Ken Boshcoff for the AMO presi- dency, but was defeated during an election at the conference’s head- quarters at the Royal York Hotel in To ronto. Past-president of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association, Mr. Boshcoff has sat on the AMO board of directors for four years. “I’m disappointed, of course,” says Mr. Anderson, who has sat on the AMO board of directors for 12 years, five of those as vice-presi- dent. “But I’m pleased that the message delivered by me was heard by the Province.” And, although suggesting the decision to elect Mr. Boshcoff as president was a loss for him per- sonally, Mr. Anderson says the conference was still a win for the Region of Durham. “It’s not like Durham’s voice is- n’t going to be heard,” he explains. Included in Mr. Anderson’s mes- sage at the conference was the re- quest for multi-year funding con- tracts from the provincial govern- ment to municipalities; 50-50 provincial/municipal government funding; federal and provincial funding for transit; and more mon- ey for infrastructure. Mr. Anderson says Premier Ernie Eves later responded by an- nouncing an agreement to the mul- ti-year funding program at the con- ference. “Premier Eves did an awful lot at the conference,” Mr. Anderson relates, adding the premier made his message clear that the Province’s door will be open to municipalities. This is a positive change from past governments, Mr. Anderson says, suggesting the open lines of communication be- tween the two parties is an “impor- tant step for the Province of Ontario to make.” As a result, the conference was a big success for municipalities, suggests Mr. Anderson. The nomination of a vice-presi- dent had yet to be announced by the AMO board when Mr. Anderson talked to This Week. “That opportunity (to be vice- president) still presents itself,” he explains, adding he is still a board member, and happy to be involved with the association in any capacity. Mr. Anderson is al- so the co-chairman of a land ambulance implementation committee, and says he hopes to pursue funding for this ser- vice. Proper funding is essen- tial, he explains, adding the land ambulance system isn’t as effective as it needs to be. “Dispatch is a major issue,” he says, along with the 50/50 funding. But since Premier Eves has opened the door for dia- logue, Mr. Anderson says Durham and other municipal- ities will do their best to get a foot inside.

AMO Toronto conference ‘a big win’:Anderson ROGER ANDERSON ‘I’m pleased that the message delivered...was heard by the Province.’ A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 fected birds has sent the message to Durham residents that they need to take personal protective measures to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes, which transmit the virus. Last year, the health depart- ment discovered five crows with the virus, all in Whitby. However, the virus now has a foothold and is spreading in Ontario. As of Wednesday, 187 birds across Ontario had tested or were presumed positive, submitted by 32 of the province’s 37 health units. For the past two weeks, Durham’s health department has stopped collecting dead crows because Health Canada, which tests the birds at its lab in Winnipeg, has asked that submissions from Ontario be slowed down. Beginning Monday, Durham can once again submit birds for test- ing, and the region will be able to submit only four birds a week for testing. The health department will base its submissions on ensuring each of the municipalities is cov- ered. “So it may mean that the bird will not be collected or submit- ted,” Dr. Reynolds says. However, residents are still asked to report dead or dying birds, especially crows, since the Region is plotting their location. Dr. Reynolds advises residents to use gloves to bury a dead bird or double bag it and put it in the garbage. The virus cannot be spread to humans from infected birds, only through the bite of an infected mosquito. To report a dead or dying bird or learn more about WNV, call the health department’s environ- mental help line at 1-800-841- 2729, ext. 2188.

Residents urged to report dead birds RESIDENTS from page 1The presence of the West Nile virus in Canada was con- firmed on Aug. 22, 2001 in a bird submitted from the Windsor-Essex area. The first positive bird in Durham was an- nounced one week later. There is no specific treat- ment for those infected with the West Nile virus, so health offi- cials are focusing their efforts on getting residents to take pre- cautions to avoid getting mos- quito bites. Some recommendations in- clude: • Avoid areas with high mosquito populations; • Wear light-coloured cloth- ing as well as long sleeves, pants and a hat to cover ex- posed skin; • Use mosquito repellent containing DEET, but be sure to follow manufacturer’s instruc- tions, including taking precau- tions when applying it on chil- dren; • Make sure all windows and doors in your home have screens that are in good condi- tion; • Take extra precaution from dusk to dawn when mosquito activity is high; • Don’t allow any outside water to stand for more than four days. For more information on the issue, visit the provincial Ministry of Health’s Web site at www.gov.on.ca/health and click on West Nile Virus. How to protect yourself Steep fines, zero tolerance may curb dangerous driving To the editor: I am writing in response to the spike in traffic fatalities this year in the GTA and Durham Region in particular. Over and over again I hear that we can’t afford to put the police manpower on the streets required to control maniac drivers. Sorry, but I just don’t get it. Simply jack up the fines for speeding and dangerous behaviour. To me, danger- ous drivers are the most selfish because when they crack up themselves or cause other drivers to crack up, they sometimes take out whole families. Those other dri- vers may have spent years on the roads and never caused anyone any grief until some idiot starts a chain reaction. I just don’t see the problem with zero tolerance for those driving over the posted speed limits. Fines need to increase so it’s prohibitive in the pocketbook to break these laws.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Joe Clark is stepping down as leader of the Progressive Conser- vative Party. No big surprise there, considering no one, including Mr. Clark himself, thinks he can lead the Tories to victory in the next election. Well, he has it half right. True, the Progressive Conservatives had little chance of winning a federal election with Mr. Clark as their leader, but it’s doubtful whether it really matters who leads the party. Mr. Clark has had two kicks at the can and failed miserably each time. His politics were sound, but his execution ended up dashing his hopes. The Liberals are not about to lose their stranglehold on Parlia- ment Hill as long as both the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives remain in existence. It’s just too easy for them to me- ander through each session with no real agenda and timetable to fol- low. The Liberals are sequestered this week trying to determine the future of the party. They too are talking about leadership, or lack of it. But, for the Liberals it’s all a bunch of hot air as Mr. Chretien is not going anywhere until February, 2004. Voters can only hope the Grits now get down to the governing of this county and leave the leadership debates to the right wingers. With those two parties splitting the right-wing vote, the Liberals will continue to keep their ruling majority in the House of Com- mons. And, it doesn’t look like those two parties are about to get to- gether any time soon. The problem is, while both the Progressive Conservative and the Canadian Alliance may secretly wish to unite, they probably both fear the perception of being taken over by the other. Neither party wants to risk losing to the other party’s leadership candidate. Who can blame either party, really. So, while Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper was quick to follow Mr. Clark’s retirement announcement with a challenge for a joint leadership convention with his party, it’s not going to happen. And, while both parties claim to represent the right, they both seem to have major policy differences that would make an alliance unworkable. Which is bad for the country. In a democracy, a strong opposition is required to keep the rul- ing government honest and responsible. So when it comes to electing its next leader, we suggest the PCs look for someone who could possibly win over the Canadian Al- liance instead of just simply keeping it at bay. There are no sure or easy paths to power. Yet breaking what ap- pears to be a Liberal stranglehold on power is not an impossibility — even without uniting the right. All of the national parties in Canada — including the Liberals — are struggling with leadership issues. That means the next federal election is no sure thing. A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 I wonder if Mother Teresa would have made a good marine. After all, she practised the essential element of the U.S. Marines’motto: ‘No one gets left behind.’ Her mission, which she started in Calcutta, India, sought to reach out to the poorest of the poor. Many of those she took in were al- ready at death’s door and beyond sav- ing. She gave a perfect expression of how much she valued human life when she profoundly stated: “I bathed Christ today.” This ‘Christ’ she was referring to was a dying child that had been left on her mission’s doorstep. There was little she could do except wipe the dirt from the child’s face and cradle him in her arms before he died. Her compassion was a testament to what a boundless entity the human heart can be. She understood well the needs of the marginalized — a yearn- ing for both love and inclusion in the human family. When Mother Teresa passed away in 1997, the predominantly Hindu na- tion of India accorded her a state fu- neral, so great was the esteem and af- fection the people of India had for the woman they simply called, Mother. It was an appropriate title, as she loved and looked after both the young and the old in her care as though they were her children. Both during Mother Teresa’s life and today, our world is filled with those who answer the cry of the poor. There will always be challenges to every generation to heed their plea. Mother Teresa’s example encourages us to seek the security and well-being of strangers in need with the same in- trinsic devotion we apply to safe- guarding our own lives. How many of us have stated that some day the world will be a better place? Those words of hope come easy; the sacrifices needed are much harder. Whatever influences our fu- ture generations have on bettering our world will be derived from the exam- ples they have seen from the genera- tion before. Mother Teresa saw a world need- ing changes and possessed the courage to do something about it. The work she started continues today, her desire to help the poor secure in the hands of those she inspired. Her lega- cy is one of compassion, a legacy well-earned by an exceptional woman who spent her life among the dusty streets of the poor, brushing flies and sweat from her brow as she was bathing Christ. A profound example of compassion for us all Mother Teresa saw a world needing changes and had the courage to do something about it Dennis Keefer Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Strong opposition is needed for country Breaking Liberal stranglehold not impossible NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 PAGE 7 P P4 1.6 GHz ECONO PACK $$699699 99 55 Intel P 4 1.6 GHz Elitegroup Motherboard 128 MB DDRAM PC2100 266 MHz 20 GB Hard Drive UDMA 100 1.44 Floppy Drive 32 MB AGP Video (Shared) 52X CD-ROM 3D 16 Bit Integrated Sound 56K V.92 Fax Modem 104 Keyboard & Mouse ATX Medium Case + 300 Watt CSA Approved Chassis Windows 98SE + $139 17 inch Monitor + $199 256 MB SDRam ........................$ 79.99 17” Monitor .............................$199.99 AMD XP1700+ ...........................$149.99 P4 - 1.7 cpu ..............................$229.95 USB Hub ...................................$ 29.99 Keyboard .................................$ 9.99 Mouse ......................................$ 4.99 Blank 80 Minute CD’s .............$ .49 ATI Radeon 8500 128MB ........$209.99 40 GB Hard Drive ..................$119.99 80 GB Hard Drive .................$159.95 15” Flat Panel Monitor ........$529.99 GeForce 64 MB 400 MX with TV Out .........................$ 89.99 ATX Case ................................$ 34.99 High Resolution Logitec Webcam ................$ 49.99 GeForce 3 128 MB ................$199.99 www.unitedcomputers.ca Mon.-Fri. 10-7, Sat.10-5, Sun. 12-4 ALL PRICES ARE 3% DISCOUNTED FOR CASH Gov’t P.O’s Accepted rrs TM **OUR SYSTEMS COME PROTECTED WITH NORTON ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE SPECIALS ARE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY AND WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

Durham YMCA hits the road SaturdayWaterfront housing plan raises questions in south Pickering Harbour company says city residents will be welcomed to new East Shore development BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Community re- action is somewhat negative to the Ontario Municipal Board’s (OMB) decision approving the Pickering Harbour Company’s (PHC) plan for 66 townhouses on the east shore ma- rina lands. More than $3 million of the pub- lic’s money has been spent building the boardwalk, Millennium Square and splash park on the east shore of Frenchman’s Bay. Improvements to the streetscape on Liverpool Road, extensions of the boardwalk, docks and a new pontoon boat connecting the east and west sides of the bay will cost millions more. Now concerns are being raised for the area once all the new homeown- ers move in, says Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. He fears the new townhouse development may privatize the area the City had envi- sioned as a nautical village filled with open and public space. He added it may even put the summer- time Frenchman’s Bay Festival in jeopardy. “This is a massive injection of res- idential housing. The 200 or so peo- ple that are going to be moving in there are not going to be interested in festivals and the noise they bring,” he explained. “If they pay $400,000 or $380,000 to live there they’re not going to be willing to share their backyard with the rest of the community.” Dave Johnson, the festival’s orga- nizer, said 15,000 people come down to the three-day event held the sec- ond weekend of June and despite the new housing plans, the festival will go on. “As far as I’m concerned it will,” he explained. “Nothing will change.” Pickering East Shore Community Association president Sylvain Trepanier said he had hoped the area would be the future home to perhaps a jazz festival and a beach volleyball tournament, among other events. Now he fears new residents will not be in favour of sharing their neighbourhood with the masses. “They’re going to buy these town- houses for $400,000 or $500,000 and at that price they’re going to want some peace and quiet. They’re not going to want the disturbance and noise that comes with festivals,” he said. But, Harbour company president Harold Hough said the townhouse development envisioned includes public features and residents will be welcome at the south end of Liverpool. In their decision released last week, the presiding OMB members said they were satisfied the PHC plan, which includes a ‘village prom- enade’ walkway with public space from Liverpool down to and on the water’s edge plus vistas and views of the bay, which represents a fair amount of public access. “It would be pedestrian friendly... the nautical theme will appear and the vitality of the area would un- doubtedly emerge,” the decision reads. “All in all the board finds that the proposal endows public benefit and fulfils good planning objectives.” It remains to be seen whether the area will become the tourist node the City wants or whether new home- owners in the area will welcome the idea or fight for their privacy. However, Mr. Johnson said they will continue to use the public space for at least one festival every year. “The residents should be made aware that we’ve had this thing for the previous 10 years... it should be part of disclosure on the part of the vendor of the homes to let each resi- dent know we’ll be down there the second weekend in June every year,” he said.

That’s what we’re determining now.” Mr. Gregg says the draft re- port will be presented at a meeting in September to the Pickering Advisory Committee (PAC), a panel that serves as the forum for the GTAA to discuss issues with interested community stake- holders. He did not confirm any de- tails included in the report, preferring to wait for its re- lease in the coming weeks. Following completion of the financial feasibility study the GTAA has indicated it will complete an environmental as- sessment for the area and pre- sent its findings to the federal government before the planned 2005 deadline for a recommendation on whether an airport should go ahead.

BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––The swift action of a pair of Durham Regional Police patrol con- stables was the crucial link in the “chain of survival” for a three-week-old baby girl, who stopped breathing Monday. “I’ve got a little boy at home myself. I was just thinking there’s no way that this little girl is going to die,” said Constable Tony Romano, who moonlights part-time as an advanced care paramedic with Durham EMS. The frantic scene began just prior to 10:25 a.m. when Cassandra Myers- Brown was found lifeless in her Winona Avenue resi- dence by her sister and mother. At 10:28 a.m. police re- ceived a 911 call to ‘assist ambulance’ with a baby not breathing. Constables Romano and Matt Jewell raced to the home in separate squad cars, arriving three minutes later in unison, prior to am- bulance. They were met at the door by Cassandra’s hyster- ical mother Donna Myers, holding her child in her arms and crying “save my baby.” The infant was without vitals signs and her skin colour was blue. Together the officers took Cassandra from her mom, laid her down on the living room floor and began emergency resuscitation ef- forts. “Matt and I checked for a pulse and heartbeat. Nothing,” said Const. Romano, who started per- forming CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation). As he continued chest compressions and rescue breathing, manually stimu- lating a heartbeat, Const. Jewell held the baby’s arm, confirming a pulse. Outside, rookie Constable Stephanie Meraw, who had been riding with Const. Jewell, comfort- ed Cassandra’s mother and sister on the porch. When paramedics pulled up 60 to 90 seconds later, Const. Romano carried Cassandra to the ambu- lance. The infant, still not breathing on her own, was rushed to Lakeridge Health Oshawa, where she was re- vived by emergency room staff and transferred to The Hospital for Sick Children. She was listed in stable condition yesterday. Tests revealed Cassandra, born three weeks premature July 31, has a previously undetected heart condition. Family member Diana Jalbert praised the officers. “They were super. They pulled out all the stops with no hesitation, they saved her life,” she said. Const. Jewell, 26, who started with the force four years ago, has advanced first-aid training as a life- guard and Canadian Ski Patrol member. Const. Romano, 32, had been a full-time paramedic with Durham EMS since 1993 before joining the po- lice force in 2000 for “a new challenge.” He still works one shift a week for EMS, one of four Durham police- paramedics. When Cassandra opened her eyes and began breath- ing on her own at hospital, the officers felt a rush of eu- phoria and relief for the family. “The father shook my hand and there was tears in his eyes. The mother hugged me for quite a while,” said Const. Romano. Doctors said the pair’s efforts bought Cassandra crucial time, increasing her chances for survival. She was without a pulse for about nine minutes. For their part, the officers downplayed their roles. “All she needed was oxy- gen. The key to any success- ful resuscitation, especially with kids, is early, aggres- sive CPR,” Const. Romano said. “What we did was just one link in the chain of sur- vival. Hats off to the medics, the officers that closed off the intersections (for the ambulance run to hospital), to the nurses and all the emergency staff.” A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 We’ve Got Your Size Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING Doctors claim walking is the BEST exercise you can do.

DURHAM ––A woman who reported being raped in a field by a 300-pound stranger earlier this month made up the story, police now say. The 28-year-old “victim” has been charged with public mischief following an inves- tigation by the Durham Regional Police sex-assault unit. Detectives believe the woman fabricated the attack “to deceive a boyfriend,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Sgt. Malik said “signifi- cant police resources” were tied up by the rape investiga- tion, including the hours spent on the case by uniform officers, major crime detec- tives and members of the force’s Forensic Identification Unit. The woman told police she was grabbed by an un- known attacker in a field on the north side of O’Neill Collegiate, on Simcoe Street North, about 8:30 a.m. Aug. 2. She said she struggled, but was overpowered and raped. The allegedly false assault report was filed several hours later after she showed up at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. Police sealed the area where the rape was to have taken place and crime-scene specialists searched the field looking for evidence the next day. Police also released a de- tailed description of the pur- ported attacker, who was de- scribed as a 6-foot-tall, 300- pound black man with a “fat oval face,” goatee, and tattoo on his arm of a skull and dag- ger. Jennifer Theresa Lamb, of Bloor Street West, was ar- rested Aug. 14. She was re- leased on a promise to ap- pear in court Sept. 19 on the mischief charge.

A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM ––It’s never easy keeping the shelves filled in summer, but by this month’s halfway mark, Sandra Sweet knew Simcoe Hall Settlement House was in for a challenging time. By Aug. 16, more than 600 fam- ilies had used her agency’s food bank in order to survive, up by 200 families. “We like to see no more than 400 families a month be- cause it’s a constant struggle to maintain what we’re pre- pared to handle,” says Ms. Sweet, director of Simcoe Hall Settlement House, the local agency that runs the community food bank. “By Aug. 16, we had assisted over 600 families. That well ex- ceeds what we try to do.” Although some months during the year show what Ms. Sweet calls “spikes,” par- ticularly in months when low wager earners’ households receive bi-monthly utility bills, she says this month has been unusually tough. “It indicates that there are a lot of low-wage families barely getting by,” she says. “They have to make cuts into (how much they spend on) food.” Before a family can re- ceive food from the food bank, it must first of all qual- ify. An interview to establish legitimate need takes place, because as Ms. Sweet points out, “Donations are hard to get.” The interview process also allows her to find out if a family needs help in outfit- ting and equipping its chil- dren for school. Simcoe Hall Settlement House works with other local agencies like the YWCA to outfit students and if those kids need a safe place to play after school where they can receive a nutritious snack and homework sup- port, Simcoe Hall offers the programs. Ms. Sweet and her team of volunteers try to put together enough non-perish- able food to last a family about three days. “There is never enough beans or Kraft dinner,” she says. Canned fruit and veg- etables, pasta, boxed juices, breakfast cereals and healthy snacks such as granola bars are the kind of items the food bank tries to stock. With three to five volunteers each day, they screen donated goods to make sure it hasn’t been opened or its ‘best before’ date expired. Toiletries like toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other per- sonal care items are also bad- ly needed. “The number of visits to the food bank was 18,376 last year and Ms. Sweet fears this year will see a marked in- crease. Simcoe Hall Settlement House is located at 387 Simcoe St. S. and is open to take donations Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P BUNK BEDS FUTONS DAY BEDS BEDROOM SUITES KIDS BEDS IRON BEDS SOLID PINESOLID BIRCHSOLID OAKSLEIGH BEDS SHAKER BEDSCANNONBALL BEDSFLOOR MODELFLOOR MODEL CLEARANCECLEARANCE ON ALLON ALL WROUGHTWROUGHT IRON BEDSIRON BEDS BEDS DISCOUNTERSBEDS DISCOUNTERS “Let Our Good Night Sleep Consultant Make Your Dreams Sweet Ones!” 35 Years of Experience 905-428-894541 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax Mon. - Thurs. 10 - 7 Friday 10 - 9 Sat. 9:30 - 6 Sun. 11 - 5 *NO GST NO PST ON MATTRESS SETS (not on sale or discounted items) We’ve Expanded...

Lou Gehrig would have been 99-years-old if he’d lived, not an unheard of age for a physically fit man who lived clean and made his living as a professional athlete. But the New York Yankee didn’t live to see 40. Like so many others struck down by the disease that bears his name, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) as it’s known medically, ravaged his strong body and then killed him two weeks following his 38th birthday. Nicknamed ‘The Iron Horse,’ the f irst-baseman loved what he did. He never called in sick in all the years he played a record 2,130 consecutive games. But in 1939, Lou Gehrig’s batting average began to slip. His nervous system was under assault as the motor neurons by which the brain signals muscles to control movement, started to falter. His muscles were wasting away. In the final stages of ALS, the diaphragm becomes too weak to properly inflate the lungs, leading to respiratory failure and death. One of the most heartbreaking characteristics of the disease is the fact ALS victims are not impaired intellectually. They know full well they are trapped inside a disintegrating body and that there’s nothing anyone can do about it. P’ALS, as Persons with Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis are known, are a brave bunch. They have to be. Perhaps that’s why the long name for the fatal illness is more easily recognized as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Knowing he was also a f ine competitor, remembering him for his sportsmanship and fairness, it’s not surprising his famous speech on the day he officially left baseball so long ago still brings tears to the eyes. “Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got,” his voice echoed throughout Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939. “Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for 17 years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? ... So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for.” For decades Lou Gehrig’s record was thought to be unbeatable. But then Carl Ripkin played his 2,131 straight game in 1995. But Gehrig wouldn’t have minded, the team player that he was. What the man of courage and dignity would no doubt like to see come to an end, though, is the disease named after him. On Saturday, Sept. 28, the ALS five-kilometre ‘Walk to D’Feet ALS’ will be held at Rotary Park in Ajax. This is a chance to be a pal to all the P’ALS fighting for their lives while needing expensive care and equipment. After all, if ALS can cut down ‘The Iron Horse,’ it can strike anyone: a family member, a friend, ourselves. For more information about the walk, call the ALS Society of Ontario’s Durham Region chapter at 905- 728-8822 or visit the ALS Society of Ontario at www.alsontario.org. CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR FEET?

How many times have you seen these ‘cell-phonies’ driving through red lights, unexpectedly changing lanes and generally being life-threatening menaces to public safety? Probably today. You’ve likely seen those female drivers who are given to multi-tasking while operating a vehicle. You know - chatting on a cell phone, drinking coffee, putting on lipstick, re-arranging hair accessories, yelling at the kids in the backseat while changing lanes at 120 kilometres per hour. Certainly a hands-free phone would be the best alternative, aside from staying off the phone all- together when driving, and there are many new products out there with an eye to convenience as well as safety. Take the Sitback sound device from ARSM, Inc. in Villanova, Pa. Sitback is essentially an add-on leather headrest that houses an amplified speakers and microphone so you can keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. For US $299 Sitback Sound installs easily (plugs into the cigarette lighter), can be moved from one vehicle to the next, has an antenna plug, volume control and comes with a universal mount for the phone. Visit www.sitbacksound.com for more information or call 1-610-526-6682 to find out where to buy your very own unit. Make Safety a Priority The following ten tips may prove helpful while driving. 1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial, redial and voice mail. 2. Use a hands-fee device. Headsets allow drivers to keep both hands on the wheel while talking. Speakerphones also make it easy to have a hands- free conversation. 3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. 4. Let the person you are speaking with know if you are driving, it helps keep calls brief. 5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Use pre-set numbers for voice- activated or speed dialing. 6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. 7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road. 8. Be a good citizen: Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency numbers to report serious emergencies -- it’s a free call from your wireless phone. 9. To get roadside assistance or to report non- emergency situations, use special numbers assigned for those purposes in your area rather than 9-1-1. 10. Consider enrolling in a wireless carrier’s roadside help program.

If the hunt for vintage tires for your vintage vehicle has reached a dead end, it’s time to call Coker. If you’re like us, maybe you should have called them a long, long time ago. The company constructs and supplies original-style tires for just about any vehicle ever made. The selection of brand-name and in-house products ranges from original to authentic-looking modern (meaning much safer) renditions of period tires. For example, the Wide White Wall and Red Wall line of tires allows folks with vintage cars to enjoy better ride and handling, while still looking stock (prices start at about $200 each). Those of you with Musclecars will be happy to know that Coker also offers Pro-Tracs, which are similar to the wide custom tires used in the 1970s. Coker also carries reproduction wheels as well as tubes for radial and bias-ply applications. To find out more about Coker and its products, call 1-800-251- 6336 or visit www.coker.com. Keep your dash under cover Nothing can detract from a beautifully restored car like a ratty old dash. Unfortunately, getting ‘soft’ parts for older cars can be incredibly time consuming, expensive and, in the case of cars that came from Europe, nearly impossible. If you find yourself nodding your head as you read this, try giving Palco Industries in Reno, Nev. a call and ask about Dashtop. Unlike a full padded dash piece, Dashtop is simply a cover (which in many cases might be all you need) saving you a bunch of money. The grain of the tough plastic surface is virtually identical to the texture of your original piece. In the case of European dash covers that were generally black, Dashtop sells a variety of colours, which opens up your interior to a whole bunch of new possibilities. To install Dashtop, you simply cut out or flatten any high spots on your original dash, fill in any big holes and glue on the new cover. Prices range from just US$49-$119. To find a dealer near you, call 1-800-349-3974 or visit www.dashtop.com for a better look. Getting wired over wheels Wire wheels look great, but what do you do when they need repair or sprucing up? Dayton Wire Wheels, one of the world’s largest wire- wheel makers and restorers is there to help. On the restoration side, Dayton can refurbish just about any make, from a Borrani (the Michelangelo wheels) found on a Ferrari to the Dunlops on an MG. They’ll take your piece, clean up the rim, re-spoke it and replace the splined hub if need be. For British cars, it’s generally more cost effective to replace the factory wheel with either a painted replica or the optional chromed version. Dayton can also handle special requests if you need different offset or rim width. If your car is missing its factory rolling spokes, or you just want to upgrade, Dayton makes direct bolt-on wire wheels as well as the adapters so you can add authentic knock-offs. Prices range from US $200 to about US $1,300, depending on what you’re after. For a complete look at their products PartsDept.

The warranty, which is fully-transferable to subsequent owners at no extra cost, will be provided at no charge on new 2003 DaimlerChrysler Canada vehicles. Components covered by the 7/115 Powertrain Warranty include the engine, transmission (transaxle), transfer case and axles. Powertrain component coverage becomes effective following the standard bumper- to-bumper coverage of three years of 60,000 kilometres and extends to seven years or 115,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. The DaimlerChrysler Canada program also includes seven years or 115,000 kilometres of Roadside Assistance. Services provided include towing, changing a flat tire, battery charging, delivery of fuel and vehicle lockouts. “Simply stated, our overall quality levels have improved substantially while warranty costs have decreased by 20 per cent in the latest model year and have been reduced by half since 1996.” said Dieter Zetsche, Chrysler Group president and CEO. “Our entire management group has a mindset of making quality the top priority, and this program is yet another milestone in our ‘disciplined pizzazz’ approach. “Going forward, no one is better positioned to keep this priority in sharp focus as we combine North American innovation and design with German quality and technology.” “Today’s well-informed customers expect great quality and great after-sale service”. Ed Brust, chairman, president and CEO, DaimlerChrysler Canada, Inc. said. “We’re backing up our confidence in our 2003 model cars and trucks and the excellent service provided by our retailers (including over 250 Five-Star certified retailers) with this substantially enhanced warranty which will give our customers long- term peace of mind.” Ron Cole Would like to invite all his previous customers and friends to drop in and visit him at the ALL NEW AJAX MAZDA 365 Bayly St. Ajax 905-428-0088 †0.9% Purchase Financing/36 months available on the 2002 Mazda Protegé5 and MPV. †††3.9% Purchase Financing/36 months available on the 2002 Mazda Tribute.

The charm of a sum- mer evening filled with lemon verbena, the fresh- ness of dew-scented dawn, the flavor of ripe Italian tomatoes, cucumbers and red peppers fresh cut from your own garden! Lively, colorful, aston- ishing, unusual, exquisite – flowers and plants charm and seduce us with a host of extraordinary sensual surprises. They offer them- selves up for our pleasure: evening gardens, scent gardens, gourmet gar- dens…the possibilities are endless. The evening garden: a space to relax The evening garden is an invitation to dis- cover familiar scents and soothing per- fumes. Scatter English wall- flower, four- o’clocks, nicotiana, royal lily, orchids, scented gera- nium, magnolia and mock orange – all flowers and shrubs that release their fragrance at sundown – near the patio, around the hammock, and along the path that leads to the gar- den, and the sweet aroma lingering in the evening air will entice you to enjoy the sunset even more. A word of advice: Shop for your plants in the late afternoon so you know which ones release their perfume at this time of day. You can also create an enclosed space with a hedge, a windbreak or a fence, to enhance the feel- ing of privacy and keep the scent from escaping your property. Pick a scent theme for the whole gar- den or group your plants by scent, to prevent their aro- mas from mixing and chang- ing and to give them all the room they need to spread their delightful perfume. Lean toward luminous pinks and whites and pale green foliage, such as hostas and scented geraniums to add a touch of subdued light. Garden lights – installed here and there throughout the beds – and lamps hanging under trees and shrubs, all carefully directed toward the sky, will enhance the atmos- phere of relaxation.

UNIT #2 PICKERING 905-683-9163 UP TO GRAND OPENING SPECIALS Like any part of your home, your landscape repre- sents an investment. An expensive one! The time and energy you devote to effective groundskeeping and design will pay untold dividends year in and year out. Your property will not only make a lasting impression on guests and neighbours, but also provide a warm, safe and inviting atmosphere in which to live. Another con- sideration is in today’s real estate market. A well thought landscape adds to ‘curb appeal, and helps ensure top dollar for your home. Improvements to your home such as a retaining wall to elevate an area previ- ously unusable or a deck can beautify and increase your living area outside. Installation of inter- locking walls and paving stones though are only one of our many specialities. Have you ever considered the tranquil beauty of a pond with a cascading waterfall or fountainhead? This opens up a whole new world of outdoor enjoyment such as water plants, gold- fish or the many varieties of exotic Japanese Koi. The Village Groundskeeper can work with you to design, construct and main- tain a healthy pond environ- ment. Answering all your questions about pumps, fil- tration, plants and basic care makes pond ownership a snap. Planning a garden? Let our experts help you design the shape, amend soil for optimum growing condi- tions, suggest species to give you year round colour and appeal, as well as advice on caring for your new land- scape with tips on fertiliz- ing, pruning and disease control. Most of us know how important water is for keep- ing our lawns and land- scapes healthy and green. Without water our grass and plants can’t survive. The timely and effective applica- tion of water is also an important factor in ensuring a beautiful, lush lawn and garden. Automated lawn sprin- kler systems, which used to be seen only on golf courses, public parks and the grounds of office complexes, are now available for resi- dential use. Improved tech- nology has brought prices down, making these systems more affordable for home- owners than ever before.

Durham Regional Police, noting an increase of crack cocaine on the street, said it is the sixth home targeted across the region this summer. Armed with a search warrant, a team of Durham Regional Police drug officers kicked in the door of the Valley Drive home in the south end Friday. Nine people –– two women and seven men –– were arrested in the res- idence where police seized $2,000 worth of crack and $900 in alleged drug money. The search capped a three-month investigation, sparked by complaints from neighbours living in the water- front community, police said. When officers forced their way in- to the two-storey home at 10:30 p.m. they found needles and other drug paraphernalia scattered throughout and addicts injecting crack, a method known as “cranking”, where the drug is heated into liquid, said a drug unit sergeant who didn’t want his name used. It wasn’t uncommon for 20 cus- tomers to visit the home in a night, he said, alleging $2,000 to $4,000 in drug business was conducted daily. “Crack was both sold from and consumed at the residence. It was a high traffic place which we wanted shut down,” said the veteran officer. During the police search, “People kept showing up to buy drugs.” When police returned with the landlord to padlock the home Tuesday, “two more people showed up looking for drugs and were taken into cus- tody,” said the sergeant, adding they were arrested for offences unrelated to drugs. Douglas Mirowski, 42, the lone resident of the rented property, faces charges including possession of crack for the purpose of trafficking and pos- session of crime proceeds in connec- tion with the search Friday night. He was released on bail Tuesday with a term not to return to the home. The other eight, including two prosti- tutes, face charges of possession. In the past two months Durham’s drug squad has arrested 35 people and laid 103 charges in connection with crack dealing in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa. Six crackhouses around the region were targeted dur- ing this time. “Crack continues to be a growing concern. It’s continuously on the rise around the region, especially in younger people,” said the sergeant. A 15-year-old Whitby boy was arrested for dealing crack three weeks ago, he said. “(Suppliers) are enlisting young of- fenders and it’s scary. We’re trying to get a handle on it, but it’s been a busy summer. Traffickers are very mobile, they’ll sell walking down the street, from the home, bicycles, rented cars.” Red Cross offers f irst-aid training DURHAM –– The Red Cross Region of Durham Branch has scheduled ad- ditional training sessions to meet the increased de- mand from stu- dents in need of first aid certifica- tion before classes begin in September. Many college and university programs require first aid certifica- tion prior to en- trance. Red Cross cer- tification in stan- dard first aid, emergency first aid, and all levels of CPR are valid for three years. All courses cover ba- sic CPR, and in- clude a first aid manual. In order to be certified, learners must demonstrate skills and complete an examination with a minimal 75 per cent accuracy. Tr aining dates include, Aug. 29, and Sept. 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Later dates are al- so available. All classes run 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and cost $93 for standard first aid, and $66 for emergency first aid. To register, or for more informa- tion, call 905-723- 2933. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, August 23, 2002 PAGE 31 A/P BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM –– For the second straight day the mother of a teenaged boy worriedly paces the hallway out- side courtroom No. 5. As another afternoon of justice winds down at 242 King St. E. in Oshawa, the well-dressed, middle- aged woman vents her frustration. “I was told he’d be released but the problem is getting (his case called). He’s never been in jail be- fore, never had any problems. Jail is not a nice place. “Would you like your own kid in- carcerated with robbers and rapists for something stupid?” she says. The youth was arrested two nights earlier following a fight, says the woman, adding she can’t afford to miss another day of work. She complains to a passing Crown attorney, who provides a sympathetic ear but no answers. Her story is typical, as a growing backlog in Durham Region bail court has reached what lawyers, po- lice and court staff are calling a state of “crisis.” They say the provincial court sys- tem in this region, lacking adequate resources and facilities, has buckled under the pressure of a growing pop- ulation. In some cases, lawyers claim, ac- cused people are being “unlawfully detained” for days without having a bail hearing. “For the sake of dollars and cents people are remaining in jail unneces- sarily. This has reached a crisis. The public and politicians should know. It is totally wrong and unaccept- able,” long-time Durham lawyer Alex Sosna says. In recent months overcrowding in Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa has reached new levels. Exasperated by the increasing delays,some mem- bers of the bar, police officials and prosecutors are insisting change must come soon. Criminal cases at the provincial court level in Durham are heard in 10 courtrooms housed by two build- ings in Oshawa, 242 King St. E. and 850 King St. W. According to officials, the worst congestion is in bail court, held in No. 5 courtroom at 242 King St. E., also the region’s smallest. In the past year the number of prisoners appearing in bail court on a typical day has steadily risen from the mid-30s to the 40s, and now into the mid-50s. While July is usually one of the slowest months of the year, there were 66 prisoners scheduled to ap- pear in bail court one day late last month. Lawyers, justices of the peace, police and court staff worked till 8 p.m., with few hearings held and most cases adjourned. The docket dropped to 55 the next day. With each bail hearing lasting from 20 minutes to several hours, there simply aren’t enough hours in a day to hear the cases, meaning ac- cused individuals wait several days or longer before being released, even in cases where the Crown agrees to bail. “The biggest concern is people are being arrested and not brought to court in a timely fashion to deter- mine whether they should be granted bail,” says Mr. Sosna. In many cases accused aren’t brought to court and their case is ad- journed in their absence, raising seri- ous “legal questions,” Mr. Sosna adds. “There is nothing reasonable about people –– who are deemed re- leaseable –– having to wait five or six days before having a bail hear- ing,” he says. “In the last six months the system in Durham has been crumbling and crumbling. And now it’s collapsed. I’ve been practising 26 years and I’ve never seen a crisis this bad.” He blames the provincial govern- ment for failing to provide the facili- ties and staff required to keep up with the region’s booming popula- tion. “The system worked 25 years ago. It isn’t working today, and as a result people’s rights are being abused and often ignored.” While there’s no shortage of ac- cused people, there are simply not enough courtrooms, holding cells, judges, justice of the peaces and sup- port staff. “It isn’t just one problem, it’s a resources issue across the board,” one frustrated court official says. “We don’t have the bodies or the space. If a second court becomes free for bail hearings, there’s no jus- tice of the peace or clerk. If there’s a JP, there’s no court... Or there’s not enough court security to escort pris- oners, or the prisoners haven’t been brought to court because the cell is full. It’s ludicrous.” Court support staff, back to work after the recent civil service strike, frequently work through lunch breaks to keep up with paperwork, the staffer says. Defence lawyer Paul Farquharson offers his blunt opinion. “The bail system has broken down,it doesn’t function anymore,” he says, claiming the rights of the accused are being trampled. By law, an accused person must be brought within 24 hours of his ar- rest before a justice of the peace, who decides if bail should be grant- ed in cases other than murder. But Mr. Farquharson says clients wait days until their hearing is held. “People are languishing in jail needlessly. These are ‘releaseable’ people and they can’t get out of jail because they can’t get a bail hear- ing,” he says. Some prisoners spend more time in custody awaiting a bail hearing than they would receive during sen- tencing if found guilty, he adds. Mr. Farquharson recalls one client charged with domestic violence waited 11 days for his bail hearing before being released. Another pleaded guilty to a minor offence “so he would get out of cus- tody,” even though his lawyer told him he had a chance at acquittal . Another lawyer bypassed provin- cial bail court altogether and brought a motion to Superior Court of Justice in Whitby, arguing his client was un- lawfully detained. The judge agreed and the accused man was immedi- ately released. Durham Senior Crown John Scott says the region’s justice system is going through growing pains, but suggests the lawyer’s complaints are exaggerated. “I don’t believe the system is in crisis but we do have a volume prob- lem. We need additional capacity to hold bail hearings,” Mr. Scott agrees. He says a courtroom at 850 King St. W. will be converted to a second bail court in the afternoons starting in September to help clear the log- jam. Mr. Scott suggests repeated ad- journments requested by defence counsel, rather than an increase in cases, contribute to clogging up the courts. Durham Regional Police are also feeling the pressure. Chief Kevin McAlpine, whose force is responsi- ble for court security and prisoner transportation, says the system is nearing “gridlock.” Until a new courthouse is built, “Band-Aid” so- lutions will have to do. Chief McAlpine says the current court sys- tem can’t accommodate the growing population, and with it an increase in criminal activity. “We’re catching a lot of crooks,” he says, smiling. During the past decade the re- gion’s population has climbed by more than 100,000, to 527,200 in 2001 from 424,400 in 1991. In 1993, 6,300 prisoners were es- corted by police to and from court. In 2002, police are on pace for 15,000 prisoner transports, more than double a decade ago. Meanwhile, it’s projected 7,820 accused individuals will pass through Oshawa’s cramped bail court at 242 King St. E. in 2002, compared to 4,170 bail hearings in 1993. “Our volume has doubled yet the facilities haven’t changed. Everyone in the system knows we’re desperate for a new courthouse in Durham and is urging the Province to get on with it... We’re not really hearing any- thing,” Chief McAlpine says. “I think everyone is just trying to grin and bear it until the new court- house is built, because I think every- one has faith it will happen,” he says. Lawyers, perhaps by trade, are skeptical. They’ve heard too many promises from past governments, dating back to former NDP Premier Bob Rae in 1995. “They’ve been promising a new courthouse for years, meanwhile the population of Durham Region has just exploded,” Mr. Farquharson says. “There was talk of a new court- house back in 1980 and 22 years lat- er we don’t even have a shovel in the ground. Meanwhile, the system is bursting at the seams, bail court is just the worst example.” As the delays have increased, so has tension among prisoners and ver- bal outbursts from relatives and friends attending court to sign as sureties. “There are people who have taken three or four days off work to come to court as proposed sureties. They spend the whole day waiting and nothing gets done,” said Constable Dan Denyr, full-time bail court offi- cer. “People are understandably upset at the system, they’re angry.” Durham Region Administrative Judge Donald Halikowski and Senior Regional Judge Ray Taillon both de- clined comment on the issue. Brendan Crawley, spokesman for the Ministry of Attorney General, says a new Durham consolidated courthouse - there are six justice buildings spread across the region - is a “priority” among a list of 13 court projects in Ontario. “Absolutely, we are aware of the problems (in Durham) and that’s why it is at the top of the list. “It’s a process that takes time,” he says,calling it the “largest courthouse renewal and consolidation” project in Ontario history.

Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 23, 2002 Enjoy the endless summers in Florida Endless beaches are a perfect match for the endless summers tourists can enjoy in the southern U.S. state of Florida. Several programs are in place for Canadian visitors. Following are the new movie releases being screened at cinemas this weekend. S1MONE Starring Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, Jay Mohr, Evan Rachel Wood, Elias Koteas. Directed by Andrew Niccol. In Hollywood, the land of illusion, never have those words rung so true... until S1MONE. She is the ulti- mate director’s fantasy. Unlike her flesh and blood colleagues, she won’t get old, won’t gain an ounce. She won’t get drunk, will never need rehab. She doesn’t have an agent, manager, entourage or religious guru. She won’t demand a bigger trailer or a private jet. She does all of her own stunts. She doesn’t need a body double. She has no problem with nudity — clothes are simply an option. She’s programmed to love any script she’s offered. She’s not interested in money. The only power she craves comes from an electrical outlet. Viktor Taransky (Pacino) is a down-and-out Academy Aw ard-nominated director who just lost his last shot at a comeback when his tempera- mental flesh-and-blood ac- tress (Winona Ryder in a cameo role as Nicola Anders) walked off his movie ‘Sunrise, Sunset’. And when she left, so did Taransky’s self-respect. Fired by his ex- wife and studio head Elaine Christian (Keener), Taransky just lost any hope of recaptur- ing his former life with Elaine and their daughter Lainey (Wood). But then computer genius Hank Aleno (Koteas) shows up. Although Hank is not long for this world, he is certain his cre- ation will be in the right hands — Taransky’s. Although Taransky initially rebuffs Hank’s insane pro- posal, Hank has the last say. He bequeaths the software to Ta ransky that will change his life forever: Simulation One. Just a few keystrokes and an overnight sensation is born: S1MONE. Suddenly, Ta ransky has a taste of the success he always craved. UNDISPUTED Starring Wesley Snipes, Ving Rhames, Peter Falk. Directed by Walter Hill. James “Ice Man” Chambers (Rhames) is a top ranked heavyweight boxer. However, Chambers has his world turned upside down when he is accused of rape and sent to prison. Upon his arrival he hears talk about Monroe Hutchen (Snipes) who is the top-ranked prison boxing champ 10 years run- ning. Immediately there is bad blood with Chambers not wanting to be second to no one, which leads to a lunch- room fight between the men. Figuring it will be a good way to make money, fellow convict Emmanuel ‘Mendy’ Ripstein (Falk) sets up a prison boxing match between the two men to decide who is the real undisputed champ. SERVING SARA Starring Elizabeth Hurley, Matthew Perry, Bruce Campbell. Directed by Reginald Hudlin. When Sara (Hurley) is served divorce papers while she is in New York, she is stunned. Not about to lose the fortune made on a Texas cat- tle farm she amassed with her self-serving Texas husband (Campbell), she makes an of- fer to her process server, Joe (Perry), that sets them off on a wild trip across the country. In a strange twist of fate, the messenger steals the heart of the woman to whom he delivers the divorce papers and both must contend with the unpleasant ex-husband.

Pickering swimmers make waves at nationals PICKERING —Two Pickering swimmers registered breakthrough per- formances at the Summer National Swim Championships in B.C. recently. Kurtis Miller and Warren Barnes, both 17, were among more than 350 of the best swimmers in Canada who took part in the high-profile event at Sannich Common- wealth Place, a venue built for the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria. Swimmers were battling for national crowns in able-bodied and disabled cate- gories. Several members of Canada’s Commonwealth Games swim team were among the entries. The Pickering natives joined two other Scarborough Swim Club members who achieved the tough entry qualifications to earn berths at summer nationals. Miller qualified in a variety of dis- tances in the freestyle, butterfly and back- stroke events at nationals. The Dunbarton High School student made it through to the qualifying rounds in each of his events. Swimming against several Com- monwealth Games and university team members, Miller placed seventh in both the 100-metre and 200m backstroke fi- nals. Meanwhile, Barnes made it through to the qualifying rounds in each of his breaststroke events. He achieved his goal of making it through the qualifying rounds and surpassed his goal by break- ing through into the final of the 50m breast where he finished eighth in the country in a new personal best time of 30.06 seconds. The Scarborough boys finished 13th overall in boys’ team standings at nation- als. “Making finals for the first time ever was a positive experience for these young guys, and bodes well for the future of the team,” notes Sylvain Pineau, head coach at the Scarborough Swim Club. Ryan Thorpe to compete at mountain biking championships in Austria BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A teen mountain biker hopes his experi- ence at the upcoming world championships in Austria will be more memorable than his most recent outing. Ryan Thorpe, 18, didn’t have the greatest of luck in a tune-up event at Mount Snow Resort,Ver- mont last weekend for the 2002 Mountain Biking World Champi- onships in Kaprun, Austria Aug. 24 to Sept. 1. At the NORBA National Championship Series in Vermont Aug. 15 to 18, which featured many of the best junior expert mountain bikers in the U.S.,Thor- pe suffered two flat tires and did- n’t finish the race. To add insult to injury, he received stitches above his lip after an unfortunate crash. Undeterred by the setback in what has been an otherwise fine season of mountain bike racing, the Dunbarton High School stu- dent is excited and looking for- ward to being one of six junior riders to represent Canada at the worlds. “Oh yeah, I’m definitely excit- ed,” says Thorpe, who has been racing mountain bikes competi- tively for the past two years. “I definitely want to do well. I don’t know the European competition, so I’m not sure how I’ll stack up against them. I just want to have a really strong race. If I have a good result, that would be a bonus.” The member of the Bay Cycle Racing Team will compete in the cross-country event at worlds, tra- versing over hilly and often treacherous terrain that requires both a high degree of fitness and skill on the bike, not to mention nerves of steel needed to negotiate the course while being wary of other riders. Thorpe notes the trails can vary from anywhere from 20- kilometres in length to close to 30k. The level of difficulty of a trail, however, will ultimately de- termine the length of the course. “They usually try to make it so it takes two hours to do,” he says. Although Thorpe is uncertain how many riders will be in the field for the junior cross-country event, there could be upwards of 100 competitors taking part. In the Canada Cup series races he’s competed in this season, the fields usually include about 40 riders. Nonetheless, if there are 100 riders in his race, Thorpe says he would like to finish in the top half of the pack. A solid effort at worlds for Thorpe would be icing on the cake for what has been a strong season on the Canada Cup moun- tain biking circuit. His best results during this year’s campaign have included a second at Mont Trem- blant, Quebec in late June and a third at Hardwood Hills, near Orillia, in the junior expert men’s category, in early June. Thorpe’s solid efforts in the Canada Cup series, however, did- n’t translate into a good run at the Canadian Mountain Bike Cham- pionships at the Sun Peaks Re- sorts in Kamloops, B.C. late last month. There, he finished seventh in his class in the nation, despite the indignity of a broken chain that took several minutes to repair at the midway point in the race. “It was pretty crappy,” conced- ed Thorpe of nationals, adding that his fine races in the Canada Cup series were mostly responsi- ble for putting him on the nation- al team to worlds. “If they had just looked a what I did at nationals, I probably wouldn’t be going to worlds be- cause I had a pretty bad race there,” he says. Thorpe says he became enam- oured with mountain bike racing for a number of reasons. At the top of his list is dealing with the unexpected each and every race. “It pretty much has everything in it. There’s tons of fitness in it, because you have to be able to ride for two hours. And, there’s a lot of technical stuff involved,” he says, adding there are risks in- volved as he has endured plenty of bumps and bruises along the way. Competitive mountain biking has also blossomed into a family passion for the Thorpes. Brothers Chris, 16, and Daniel, 12, also ride for the Bay Cycle Racing Team. Chris is currently ranked first in Ontario in his age group, while Daniel is 14th in his age group. “It’s kind of like a family affair to go racing,” says Thorpe. A.J.
