Home My WebLink AboutNA2002_11_08BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING ––Residents are concerned the City may lose the op- portunity to complete Pickering’s waterfront trail now that two lake- side lots are on the real estate mar- ket. Offers opened Thursday (Nov. 7) for two abutting properties along the south end of Park Crescent and Marksbury Road on the west shore of Frenchman’s Bay. The two lots are the last private- ly owned lands blocking the water- front trail between Petticoat Creek and West Shore Boulevard, said Craig Bamford, a Marksbury resi- dent and former vice-chairman of the City’s waterfront task force. “If they are bought by a new pri- vate owner, the waterfront trail won’t be able to go through,” he said. The trail currently curves north around those properties connecting to West Shore Boulevard via Surf Av enue. Mr. Bamford said the ob- jective of his task force was a wa- terfront trail along the lakeshore, not a path that meanders through housing as it does now on Surf. The only way to accomplish that is to establish a trail across those two properties, he said. Judy Scott-Jacobs agrees it would be “a travesty” for the com- munity if the lots couldn’t be pur- chased for the trail. “It’s a beautiful piece of proper- ty and it should be enjoyed by the public,” the Marksbury resident says. She says she purchased her house next door a few years ago un- der the assumption those properties would be converted into public lands some day. To ronto Region Conservation (TRC) officials confirmed the au- thority has been in discussion with the trustee of the land, which has been willed to several charities, hoping to purchase it for the trail.

Water charge hearing delayed Durham’s day in court to face 15 charges slated for Dec. 9 DURHAM ––The Region’s day in court on 22 charges related to management of north Durham water facilities has been delayed until Dec. 9. On Oct. 2, the Region was charged with infractions related to reporting procedures at its Uxbridge, Port Perry and Green- bank water distribution systems. In total, the maximum fines for the charges could amount to as much as $91.5 million although the final cost, if the Region is found guilty on the charges, will be at the judge’s discretion. The Region was charged on 15 counts of failing to notify the ministry of “indicators of adverse water” samples between October 2000 and July 2001 in its Green- bank, Uxbridge and Port Perry water distribution systems. Each of those charges carries a maxi- mum fine of $6 million. Another five charges, with a maximum penalty of $250,000 each, were also laid relating to failure to monitor for nitrate lev- els at Greenbank well number six. Two further charges were laid for exceeding the flow rate on the water-taking permit at Greenbank well number one. Those charges also carry a maximum $250,000 fine each. A lawyer representing the Re- gion appeared in provincial of- fences court, 701 Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby on Oct. 25 on the charges but the trial was put over until Dec. 9 at 11 a.m. See PICKERING page 4 Get missing link, City told BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Ta rgeting out- law motorcycle and street gangs causing “havoc” across the region will be a top po- lice priority in the coming year. An Opera- tional Priorities and Objectives report prepared by Deputy- Chief Rod Piukkala, re- ceived by the police services board, lists gang activity and traf- fic enforcement as being the de- partment’s main focus for 2003. Unit and di- visional leaders across Durham Region will be directed to “fur- ther focus their individual 2003 goals and objec- tives based on these two orga- nization-wide items,” said the deputy-chief. The region is home to a rapid- ly expanding Hells Angels chapter in Os- hawa, while ri- val Outlaws have been ru- moured to be launching a Durham-based chapter in Ajax, where a new clubhouse re- cently opened. An increas- ing number of so-called “pup- pet clubs,” which are aligned with the larger gangs, al- so have sprouted up in Durham in the past two years. Police claim outlaw biker gangs are typi- cally involved in criminal activity such as drug trafficking, ex- tortion, prostitu- tion, theft and assaults. Meanwhile, police are also concerned about a proliferation of street gangs, responsible for street-level crimes such as drug dealing and muggings. Asked Tues- day by board member Bob Nicol the num- ber of such gangs, Chief Kevin McAlpine said there are “less than 50” throughout the region. Young people emulating hard- core U.S. street gangs, like Crips and Bloods, are now a “Toronto phenomenon that’s coming our way,”he said. “We’re seeing an increasing number of people associating with that sort of street-gang folk- lore... It’s a fairly small number, but they create a fair bit of hav- oc.” Traffic enforcement will con- tinue to be a priority in 2003, for the second year in a row. There have been 22 people killed in mo- tor vehicle collisions in the re- gion to date this year, while there were 30 traffic fatalities in all of 2001.

We’ve grown up with it. “Some people think we don’t eat for 30 days straight,” she laughed. Her father, Kazim, said he encour- ages his four children to speak openly with others about the month of fasting. Education promotes understanding. And understanding is key to Ramadan. “The focus on fasting from dawn to sunset is under the idea that hunger makes a person weak and humble,” ex- plained Mr. Qureshi, an Ajax resident. “Once we are weak and humble, we can realize how it feels to be like other peo- ple who may not be as blessed as we are.” Ramadan takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which follows the rise of the moon. It signifies the month God revealed the holy Koran to the Prophet Mohammed. Muslims be- lieve the Koran is the word of God. More than 200 families in Ajax and Pickering are now observing Ramadan, which began Nov. 6 and involves a month-long period of abstinence and in- tense devotional activity. Fasting involves total abstinence from all food and drink, including water and cigarettes, and marital relations throughout daylight hours. The ritual is obligatory for all Muslims past the age of puberty. Only children, travellers, the old or weak, and women, who are either preg- nant, nursing or menstruating, are ex- empt. For the Qureshis, this means get- ting up at 4:30 a.m. or earlier each day during Ramadan to prepare and eat their first meal of the day before sunrise. The Ajax family follows a list of sunrise and sunset times provided by the Pickering Islamic Centre, where Mr. Qureshi is a trustee. “Once you program up here,” said Mr. Qureshi, pointing to the top of his head, “You don’t mind.” This is the short season for Ramadan, he said, only 12 hours. In the summer, Ramadan is longer, about 18 hours. Mr. Qureshi said his children won’t experi- ence that season for another 12 to 14 years. “In Muslim countries all restaurants, all hotels are closed during Ramadan during daylight hours,” he explained. “From the day a child is born they are trained this way. I know some families where children four or five years old want to get up early just to eat with the family.” Usma said she’s used to not eating during the day anyway. She often skips breakfast and lunch. Fasting is observed by a number of religions and it’s only one of the five pil- lars of Islam, Mr. Qureshi pointed out. Believing in the oneness of God, of- fering prayer five times a day, the im- portance of offering charity and making a pilgrimage to Mecca are the others. Prayer and charity are emphasized during Ramadan. Muslims are not only expected to make special trips to mosque, but donate 2.5 per cent of their total assets to charity as well. Donations are to be made in this order: to the poor first, then neighbours, the community, nationally and then internationally. Ramadan wraps up with a celebra- tion called Eid ul-Fitr, where donations are again pledged (five dollars for each member of the family), special prayers are made, gifts are exchanged and an ar- ray of sweets are served. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 8, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P REAL PEOPLE REAL RESULTS KEEP ‘N FIT HEALTH CLUBS INC.

The Park Crescent property, a 60- foot-by-181-foot lot, is listed at $229,900, while the Marksbury Road property, a 60-foot-by-147.50-foot lot, is listed at $239,900. Coun. Ryan said with servicing easements and erosion on the two properties, the combined lots will only support one home. Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, another waterfront co-ordi- nating committee member, said he’s trying to get Durham Region involved in the transaction. With concerns for erosion control along those lands, Coun. Holland said the purchase would fit in nicely with a new initiative to acquire environmentally sensitive lands with the Region’s casino slot ma- chine revenues from the Great Blue Heron Charity Casino on Scugog Is- land. “We need to move quickly but not at any price,” he said. Pickering urged to buy lots PICKERING from page 1 Local war veteran recalls ‘sheer chance’ Eleventh hour decision kept Karol Wa gner from worst possible fate BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —For a long time no one believed him, not his wife, or his air force buddies. But Karol Wagner insisted he was there, literally steps away from the Katyn Forest, where 5,000 Polish officers were exe- cuted by the Soviet Union during the Second World War. His was one of only two pris- oner of war trainloads redirected to another camp at the eleventh hour. “If you ask me, even today, what was the reason I was spared. It was a sheer chance,” the Pickering resident said. Now, at the age of 87, Mr. Wagner has proof. His name ap- pears in a book of survivors doc- umented by Soviet records and compiled by the museum dedi- cated to the worst massacre in Polish history. His memories of that day in May 1940 are haunting and in- credibly clear. “A fter two days of travelling, we stopped and were told to dis- embark,” Mr. Wagner remem- bered. “We saw an empty truck to our left and a few hundred yards away, a small railway sta- tion, ‘Gniezdowo’. “The ground was flat. A cou- ple of kilometres away, on the horizon, you could see hills cov- ered with forest. The Soviets told us to form a column and we start- ed to march toward the forest.” After about half a kilometre of marching, Mr. Wagner said he recalls a staff car approaching from behind the railway station. It stopped in front of the column. “From the car stepped out a political officer in the rank of general,” he said. “He walked to the commandant of our execu- tion, a colonel, gave him some papers, and they talked for about 20 minutes. After that, our com- mandant gave orders to his staff and we were turned around and marched back to the train.” Mr. Wagner’s transport was taken to an ex-nobleman’s estate, which had been converted into a camp and where they were treat- ed to traditional Polish food, new clothing, and entertainment. This was luxury, he said, after months spent in rags, fighting off disease and hunger in Kozielsk, one of three Russian camps used to in- tern the Polish intelligentsia (of- ficers and professionals). A battery officer, Mr. Wagn- er’s squadron surrendered near Trembowla soon after the Soviet Union invaded eastern Poland in September 1939. “Could you imagine being at the peak of age and your need for nourishment,” said Mr. Wagner, who was 24 at the time. “We would get one slice of toast per day and the soup. It was green water. It was supposed to be cab- bage soup, but not one leaf did I see.” Wa shroom facilities were a 40-foot-by-20-foot hole with logs across it. Mr. Wagner re- members a high-ranking officer slipping on the urine-covered logs frozen in the winter and drowning in the excrement. To avoid a similar fate, he went outside one night to relieve himself and was caught by a guard. “He marched me to the guard- house and wanted me to sign a confession that I’d tried to es- cape,” Mr. Wagner said. “That was impossible. I would have had to climb a barbed wire fence and run through six feet of snow on the other side in my under- wear.” He was hit in the face with the butt of a revolver when the guards refused to accept his sto- ry, and lost his two front teeth. In early 1940, word started in Kozielsk of the Soviets starting to send home prisoners. Mr. Wa gner remembers regular transports of 100 and 400 sol- diers every day or two. He said his once cramped camp was thinned out to only a few hun- dred before he boarded the trans- port himself. But he wouldn’t learn how close he had come to execution that day until the German army discovered the mass graves at Katyn Forest in 1943. By then, Mr. Wagner had been released by the Soviets, had signed up with the reformed Polish Army in Iraq, and joined the British Air Force in 1942. Nazi officials publicized the grave and accused the Soviets of the massacre. However, Moscow denied the charge and claimed the Germans were attempting to cover up their own atrocity. Despite evidence the Kremlin was behind the massacre, the Al- lies chose to look the other way. It wasn’t until 1990 that Mikhail Gorbachev officially admitted Russia’s involvement. Mr. Wagner prefers to stay away from the politics of Katyn, but chooses to look back at his war years with appreciation for today. “You young people don’t know how good you have it to- day,” he said, waving a finger. The war affected everyone of his generation. His wife Eva nar- rowly escaped from Yugoslavia to seek out employment in Britain, where the couple met in 1954. Her parents were sent to labour camps. Her father died there, shot for his family’s pock- et watch. Instead of going back to his homeland, Mr. Wagner brought his family to Canada in 1957, where he worked in electronics until his retirement in 1979. He settled in Pickering in 1980. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Pickering resident Karol Wagner escaped death at the hands of Soviet army in 1940. Mr. Wagner, 87, is reliving the mem- ories as Nov. 11 nears. Remembrance Day cere- monies in Pickering take place Sunday, Nov. 10 with a parade beginning at 10:40 a.m. from the Pickering Recreation Com- plex to the city cenotaph on the Esplanade.Services follow at the cenotaph at 11 a.m.with refreshments afterwards at Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 606, 1555 Bayly St. Nov. 11 service BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer PICKERING —A public in- quiry won’t be called into the delay and cost overruns on the restart of four reactors at the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station. “It’s not something we’re con- sidering at this time. It’s not some- thing we’re considering, period,” said Dan Miles, director of com- munications for Ontario Energy Minister John Baird. Tom Adams of Energy Probe, a consumer and environmental group, is calling for an inquiry. “Clearly there’s a major prob- lem with Pickering ‘A’ (reactors). The project is four years behind schedule and over 200 per cent over budget. It’s creating a big hole in the power system and huge headache for ratepayers,” Mr. Adams said. “There’s been no pub- lic disclosure and that’s clearly un- acceptable.” The four reactors have been laid up since late 1997. Ontario Power Generation wants to restart them one at a time, but the work is be- hind schedule. The first reactor was originally to be back in service late last year. Mr. Adams said his consumer and environmental organization has been “pleading” with succes- sive provincial energy ministers for an inquiry, but has not had success. “We’ve got to get to the bottom of what’s going on there,” he not- ed. “I think it’s more of the same. Cost overruns, exotic technical problems, delays and no one is held to account.” However, Mr. Miles said Mr. Baird has been meeting with OPG officials “regularly. “I think this is something that has the minister’s full attention. Mr. Baird is wanting to ensure the project is continuing along and is on track and stays on track. He’s said up to this point he’s not happy the project is delayed and with the cost overruns. He wants to see it completed expeditiously.” As for the charge regarding po- tential blackouts, Mr. Miles said the ministry has positive informa- tion about the coming months. “We refer to the experts and that’s the Independent Market Op- erators,” he said. “In their 18- month outlook, we have sufficient power over the next 18-month pe- riod..” OPG spokesman John Earl said the call for an inquiry “isn’t a position for OPG to comment on. “We’ve always made information available. We report regularly to the regulator.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 8, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P WHITBY 1540 Dundas Street East Northwest corner of Thickson & Dundas 668-4300 PICKERING 1755 Pickering Parkway Northwest corner of Hwy. 401 & Brock Rd. 427-2047 MATTRESSES • FURNITURE • LINEN • FUTONS DUNDAS 401 THICKSON RD.BROCK RD.METRO EAST CONVENTION CENTRE HWY. 401 GUARANTEED BEST PRICE SERTA PARKRIDGE PLUSH SET PERFECT SLEEPER PILLOWTOP PLUSH SET “DO-NOT-DISTURB” MATTRESS!

Did you notice councillors waited until they returned from their retreat to tell us this? Some of them thought this retreat was fruitless. Hats off to Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, who refused to go. Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond also said it was lacking in content, but off they went anyway. I guess they figured they bet- ter find a way to spend the $20,000 allotted for conference expenses in 2002. What is wrong with saving this money? I was shocked to learn they paid for a hospitality room complete with bartender, gratuity, glasses, beer, liquor and wine. I thought you go there to think, not drink? Then, upon their return we read about what a success it was. Do you think we are real- ly that gullible? Now they want to hire a consultant to provide us with a vision for the future. What did we vote them in for? Is this not part of their job? Mayor Parish is concerned with the tim- ing of hiring this consultant and I agree, and also question the necessity. We don’t need any more increases in taxes. We are getting hit hard with hydro right now and supposedly the water bill is increasing as well. When is it going to stop? I feel sorry for young families struggling to make a living today. It seems they take two steps forward and the government puts them 10 back. I would like to see an end to regional gov- ernment and an end to unnecessary retreats. Enough is enough.

If they could re- alize how their own lives may have been affected by what it all adds up to, they might give it more rever- ence. For example, my own father was in the First World War. His duty with the Canadian Army was as a front lines munitions supply wagon driver. For the most part they used a horse-drawn wagon to deliver mu- nitions to the front lines. Because he and other veterans did not talk of the war, the only time he related anything about his army days was on this one occasion. He said you became aware of the sound enemy shells passing over- head would make, whether they were going to explode near you or not. He related one time he thought a shell would be close, so he decid- ed to jump from the wagonload of munitions and into a shell hole. If he hadn’t done that, I would not be here today, because it was a direct hit on his wagon loaded with am- munition. I was fortunate that my age group was not allowed to join the armed forces or be called up to serve during the Second World War. I was only six when the war started in 1939. There were many who did fight in that war, and there were many who fought for our freedom in the First World War as well. Also, during those two conflicts, many people did not return home because they had made the ultimate sacri- fice. Sometimes, we allow ourselves to fall into deep thought about one thing or another. It can be illuminat- ing to us to become deep in thought about this subject as well. To get you started on this, you might won- der if in this present day and age how many of us would not have been born if it turned out that our mothers or fathers had become lost to the war. Remembrance Day is Nov. 11 and includes a minute of silence at 11 a.m. For those who are not aware of the meaning of that day, please demonstrate a degree of respect. You many attend a memorial ser- vice in your community at that time if you wish. Just make sure you’re there before 11 a.m. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com We must never forget sacrifices our ancestors made A rare occasion has surfaced in Pickering that could allow the popular waterfront trail to continue unbroken across the western portion of the city. Tw o properties previously held in trust have been put on the market creating an important opportunity for the City to im- prove the trail’s presence as it follows the natural contours of the lakeshore. The trail currently extends north and away from Lake On- tario on Park Crescent because of these last two privately owned properties that block the pathway between Petticoat Creek and West Shore Boulevard. Craig Bamford, a Marksbury Road resident and former vice-chairman of the City’s waterfront task force, fears the properties could be purchased by new private owners, perhaps preventing the City from its last great chance at creating an un- broken ribbon along Pickering’s waterfront. But City officials and the Toronto Region Conservation (TRC), despite their mutual interest in creating a completely connected waterfront trail, must also consider the nearly $470,000 combined list price for the properties. Fiscal pru- dence must prevail in any case. The current trail is widely used by area residents and, ex- cept for the short detour, remains popular. It’s not perfect, but serves as a wonderfully accessible and scenic route for the many who walk, ride or jog along the route. City officials are keenly interested in bidding for the prop- erties, but are approaching the issue logically and with a view to making any decisions within reason. Mr. Bamford believes deeply in the importance of an un- broken trail and it would indeed provide an important amenity to all Pickering residents. But, City officials, as was suggested by Councillor Mark Holland, must explore all funding options, such as obtaining casino proceeds for environmentally sensitive lands to acquire the properties. Tw o issues here require thoughtful consideration: Exploring any and all additional funding sources to reduce the fiscal im- pact on the City of Pickering and the TRC, and avoiding an ac- quisition-at-any-cost approach. City officials must be wary of being drawn into a bidding war. The waterfront trail is an important part of Pickering’s de- veloping shoreline communities on both sides of Frenchman’s Bay. Collaboration, exploration and a commitment to doing what’s right for everybody will best serve the City and its tax- payers. Opportunity exists to make final link Prudent purchase of property would offer final piece to waterfront trail Walter Trehern Opinion shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Imagine where we’d be today without them CANADA’S ONLY FURNITURE SUPERSTORES 2 YEA R IN-HO M E W A R R A N T Y 18 Cu.

Seven of Durham’s mayors, MPP John O’Toole and MP Judi Longfield met last week to devise a plan to keep the municipalities of Durham in elec- toral ridings within the region. As part of a 10-year census review, Elections Canada is proposing to adjust federal electoral boundaries to reflect changes and movement of Canada’s population. It’s expected the Province may also adopt whatever boundaries are set by the federal commission to remain consistent with a policy established be- fore the 1999 provincial election. But some of the proposed changes affecting Durham have met with a neg- ative response from local representa- tives. One concern with the proposed boundaries is the plan to take Clarington out of the current Durham riding and join it with Northumberland. As well, local politicians are wary of boundaries that join rural areas in north Durham with urban areas like Pickering. The di- vision of some municipalities into a number of different ridings has also raised a red flag with local politicians. “We are concerned our respective municipalities have many areas of inter- action with our elected members at the senior levels of government,” Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt wrote to the boundaries commission on behalf of Durham’s area municipalities. “We want to make sure the best possible re- structuring take place and that the vari- ous communities of interest are effec- tively represented.” The area municipalities have proposed the commis- sion consider some specific principles when looking at the realignment of the region including: • Durham is an entity with about 500,000 residents and since each federal boundary is expected to cover about 100,000 people, the region should be divided into five ridings; • Area municipalities should not be divided into different ridings but if they must be, they should not be part of more than two rid- ings; • Where it is necessary to divide a municipality, ‘com- munities of interest’ should be kept intact. Monday, Clarington and Oshawa councils endorsed the recommendations and other area municipalities were expected to consider doing the same. “This proposal does keep us in with the GTA which will be very important down the line,” said Clarington Re- gional Councillor Charlie Trim, at a meeting in Clar- ington Monday. “It’s a good split.” The municipalities were to appear before the commis- sion today in Durham Re- gion.

For everything you need and all you wish for! Chris Conway made a career out of writing traffic tickets, as a police officer for the Toronto Police service and with the Ontario Provincial Police. In March of this year, Chris retired after twenty-seven years as a traffic cop. Now he provides legal representation to people with traffic ticket problems, as the owner of Traffic Ticket People in Durham Region. The company is located on Westney Road one light north of Highway 401 in Ajax. The Traffic Ticket People in Ajax is one of four offices of the company that provides affordable, legal advice to people with traffic tickets or driving related charges. During Chris’s career he worked as a radar officer, accident investigator, and Breathalyzer technician and he earned over twenty commendations for excellent police work throughout his career. That specialized training has qualified him to help people today with their traffic ticket and driving charges. As well as working to help people with traffic tickets, Chris is also teaching the Highway Traffic Act at Durham College to students hoping to pursue a career in law enforcement. At the Ajax office Chris offers free consultation and welcomes people to speak to him about traffic ticket concerns or any criminal driving charge. Chris can be heard Saturday mornings on AM640 where he hosts a weekly radio show about traffic tickets. Chris can be reached at 905-424- XOPP(9677) or at his office on Westney Rd. or on the Internet at www.trafficticketpeople.com.

LO W M A I N T E N A N C E F E E $134,800 $194,900 BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —If you live on a ravine lot in Pickering, you may soon need a permit to remove a healthy tree from your backyard. Local councillors are asking staff to draft a bylaw outlining very lim- ited circumstances in which the felling of healthy trees would be permitted on properties backing on- to watercourse ravine areas. The draft bylaw, which would set out a permit fee and fines for viola- tion, is expected to come back to the City’s finance and operations com- mittee for consideration before Feb. 24. “We spend considerable amounts of money to rehabilitate creeks and watercourses but we have nothing in place to stop some- one from knocking down adjacent trees,” said Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Holland, who intro- duced the idea. He said the issue was raised re- cently by a group of his constituents whose properties back on to ravines. “Ninety-nine per cent” of ravine lot owners live there because they like natural areas and want them protect- ed, Coun. Holland said. The City of Toronto is currently implementing a City-wide bylaw, following the examples of former municipalities East York and Scar- borough, he said. While in favour of preserving trees, Ward 2 City Councillor Bill McLean said he couldn’t support a bylaw, which would essentially tell landowners what they can and can’t do on their own property. He compared the bylaw to the North Pickering Land Exchange Review panel telling private landowners on the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve their lands should be used for agriculture in perpetuity. “What if someone has a pool or a swing set they want to put up or if there is a dangerous tree ready to fall on their property?’ Coun. McLean asked. Wa rd 3 City Councillor David Pickles said he also supported the intention of the bylaw but predicted there will be a lot of upcoming de- bate. Details like who determines which properties are affected and the parameters of the permit need to be worked out, he said. Chief administrative officer Tom Quinn said, he too, was concerned about the “mechanics” of the pro- posed bylaw, and if his staff had enough expertise to enforce such a permit. “My fear is we’ll have staff look- ing at trees with neighbours hanging over fences,” he said. Surprised by the debate, Coun. Holland said municipalities already control things like grading and wa- ter flow on private property. Also, City staff regularly determines the health of trees in Pickering, he ar- gued. Pickering ponders bylaw restricting tree-cutting in ravines Astra Milberg speaks up for those with disabilities BY JENNIFER JONES Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM ––Astra Milberg is on a mission. The 30-year-old is fighting to raise awareness of Down’s syndrome, a chromoso- mal condition that delays devel- opment and causes intellectual disabilities at birth. But Ms. Milberg is no ordi- nary activist. Like 42,000 Canadians, she has Down’s syndrome, which is why close to 200 people crammed into a conference room at Oshawa’s Holiday Inn last Sat- urday to hear what she had to say. The speech kicked off Down Syndrome Awareness Week, Nov. 1 to Nov. 7. But if Ms. Milberg had it her way,Down syndrome awareness would take place all the time. “I would extend awareness time until all the parents are hap- py to have a son or daughter with Down’s syndrome and love and raise them to their full potential,” said Ms. Milberg. “We are gross- ly misunderstood, misjudged and in many instances unwanted.” And this is precisely what Ms. Milberg is striving to change. “Why would anybody not want a lovable, good natured and trust- ing child?” she asks. She has set out to change the “old myths” where children with Down’s syn- drome are segregated from other children and schools. She be- lieves people with Down’s syn- drome should be integrated into all aspects of society. But she says this is often not the case. “Some parents keep them away from the world and don’t let them have their own lives,” says Ms. Milberg. “I want to see others with Down’s syndrome in the commu- nity so I can have more friends and possibly a boyfriend.” Ms. Milberg says many par- ents who have children with Down’s syndrome often shield them from doing normal things in life, like using the telephone. She says this is a mistake; she thinks parents should always help their children learn despite their condition. She says society needs to real- ize people with Down’s syn- drome don’t understand why they are treated differently. “I do not feel any different,” she says. “I love life and feel very human.” Ms. Milberg’s speech sent waves of laughter throughout the crowded Holiday Inn room, as well as a few tears. The young woman has trav- elled across Canada making speeches and teaching people about Down’s syndrome. She was awarded the Lieu- tenant Governor of Ontario Vol- unteer Action Award in 1996 and recently received a medal from the Canadian Down Syndrome Society for her work on the Dis- ability Pride Campaign TV com- mercials, which she appeared in and helped produce. Ms. Milberg hopes her speech- es will teach society people with Down’s syndrome “are as human as anybody else” and deserve the same love and respect. She says, “Down syndrome is still an iron- clad load around our necks,” which needs to change. “We have feelings, we have emotional needs, we have needs to be recognized and respected. We must come out of hiding and we must be treated for what we are –– quite adorable, honest, trusting human beings.” Saturday’s conference, ‘The Future is ours,’ was hosted by the Durham Down Syndrome Associ- ation. Educators, parents and oth- er stakeholders from across southern Ontario came to partici- pate in workshops such as lan- guage development, mental health issues and interaction with schools. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 8, 2002 PAGE 15 A/P Bachelor of Education Program Interested in becoming a teacher?

Ta ke CPR and help learn to save a life DURHAM ––November is CPR Month and the Canadian Red Cross, Re- gion of Durham Branch is offering courses to expand education in helping to save lives. “Knowing what to do in an emer- gency can make the difference between full recovery, permanent disability and even death,” says Sharon Walker, branch manager. “The Red Cross would like everyone to be trained in first aid and one way to encourage people to learn basic CPR skills is to co-ordinate groups of people that are co-workers, family or friends in their own home or place of work together.” Over 50,000 Canadians die each year of coronary disease making it the lead- ing cause of death in Canada: 50 per cent of these deaths occur before the victim reaches the hospital. In most Canadian cities, the average ambulance response time is eight to 12 minutes. During CPR Month, the Red Cross wants to improve the importance of CPR in saving lives and to have individ- uals have the necessary tools and knowl- edge to react when seconds count in emergency situations. “You can never be too old or young to learn the necessary skills that can save the life of someone you love, or your- self,” says Ms. Walker. CPR training teaches people how to recognize the signs of a heart attack and how to react quickly and effectively in an emergency situation. For more infor- mation or to register, call 905-723- 2933.

Of course, the style of a room’s décor is a good start- ing point for guiding your accessory purchases: con- temporary, antique, modern, colonial, exotic, or thematic. And while an eclectic decor will give you freer rein on your choices, you need to be careful to combine your accessories in such a way so that harmony does not quickly descend into total chaos. When it comes to the colours of your accessories, remember that they should be finishing touches that complement the shades of the surrounding decor. This might mean adding neutral tones to a very colourful room or adding much-need- ed colour to a monochromat- ic room. In the end, acces- sories should bring all the colours in the room together harmonious- ly. On the other hand, accessories can sometimes become the room’s main attraction. For example, in thematic rooms, accessories should play a more central role, since they help to justify the over- all theme. It’s not always easy to fix up an unattractive cor- ner. However, sometimes it only takes a bit of imagina- tion and a few well-chosen accessories. But before jumping into this kind of project, it’s important to consider the surrounding environment. If the corner in ques- tion is near the entrance to your home, it will be one of the first things visitors will see. You can fix this area in several ways. One option is to add a decorative element such as a small table with a lamp or vase, along with a painting or a mirror on the wall. Alternatively, you can hide this corner by adding a decorative armoire, a stor- age bench, or a floor plant (providing the area gets enough sunlight). Last but not least, you can always direct attention from the area by adding something to camouflage it. An awkward space beneath a staircase can eas- ily be converted into a stor- age unit. It’s also common to find an unused space in a room or between two rooms. In this case, you can add a few decorative details that will blend in with the room’s decor to add a touch of elegance. By playing with vari- ous elements such as trin- kets, vases, flowers, plants, lamps, chandeliers, fabrics, small furniture pieces, stands, columns, paintings, mirrors, etc., it is possible to turn an “ugly duckling” of a corner into a “beautiful swan”.

That’s because you couldn’t have picked a better time to take on such a project, thanks to the latest trend of sleek, conserva- tive styling, wood counters and earth tones. With this kind of ele- gant beauty, it doesn’t take a lot to make a huge statement. Wood is a natural material that exudes warmth and adds a beautiful tone to any bathroom. Why not opt for treated wood veneer? That way you’ll get the beauty of wood while helping to protect our forests. The hot trends in colours this year are white, cream, chrome, golden, and antique shades like bronze. You can also combine soft pastel shades with metal to make your wooden cabinets and coun- ters really stand out. There are also a few new ele- ments for contemporary bath- rooms this year. The hottest items are transparent and very distinc- tive with modern motifs and avant-garde styling. Regardless of the style you decide on when planning or reno- vating a bathroom, always make durability and ease of use your most important criteria when choosing new fixtures. These cabinets with a braided cherry panel in the centre add special charm to a bathroom. Thinking about adding a few plants to your home’s decor? Not only will they add a touch of beauty and charm, they will also add humidity and clean the air inside your home. The best thing about plants is that they can be used in any room, as long as you take the time to select the right ones. Still need more convinc- ing as to why you should have some plants inside your home? Don’t forget that they bring nature inside - after all, plants are a great way to forget about our long Canadian winters and be constantly surrounded by the feel of spring and sum- mer! What’s more, thanks to the decorative versatility of plants, they can liven up an unattractive space, fill up an awkward void or add a fin- ishing touch. Choosing the right plant isn’t all that difficult. You just need to remember to choose plants according to the amount of space and light that is available to them. Those who have lots of space can opt for plants that will grow and grow and grow! But most of us gener- ally don’t have that much available space and need to choose plants according to whether they will be put on a table, hung in front of a window or placed in a large, decorative pot on the floor. You also need to keep in mind that various plants cre- ate different effects. For example, there are bushy plants, plants with bare trunks, plants with small leaves and plants with huge leaves. The choices are virtu- ally endless, so finding the right plant for the right spot can sometimes take a keen eye. And don’t forget to choose a plant that will do best in the amount of sun- light available in the room in question. A good bet is sticking to healthy, decorative plants. Put them in a decorative pot, take good care of them and they will add beauty to your home for years to come.

Billboard November 8, 2002 Children’s Aid Society, workers ratify new contract Three-year deal approved DURHAM ––Durham Children’s Aid Society workers have a new con- tract. It’s one that doesn’t ad- dress workload, but gives them a pay increase of 9.5 per cent over three years, ac- cording to Mary Anne Lesniewski, president of CUPE Local 3223. The union represents 230 CAS employees, including full- time and part-time child protection workers, child and youth workers, support and maintenance staff and public health nurses. Mem- bers ratified the deal Friday afternoon. “It’s something we have to live with,” she says. “There are some good things in the package.” She says a heavy workload still remains, which was the key issue on the table. Management ratified the contract earlier this week. In a news release, the agency’s executive director said the agreement addresses work- load, along with salary and benefits. The parties were in a le- gal strike/lockout position as of Oct. 26. They have been negotiating since February. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 8, 2002 PAGE 25 A/P Coming November 12 Do you see ordoyou have vision?

Travel &TOURISM NEWS ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 8, 2002 Preserve your vacation memories in style Te c hnology makes holiday scrapbooking much easier Your family’s holiday photographs are priceless snapshots of special people and joyous moments spent together. Un- fortunately, all too often these memories end up unprotected in boxes and can eventually become lost or damaged. Protecting photos and preserving the past is a trend that’s taking North Amer- ica by storm. Canadians are gathering their photo memories from holidays and vacations and putting them into great looking, protective scrapbooks that will stand the test of time. Now, digital imaging is allowing Canadians to take scrapbooking one step further by allowing them to do all of their projects at home. With an inexpensive photo printer, scanner, computer and photo paper, hobbyists can produce a scrapbook from start to finish, without having to visit a copy or photo store for expensive scrap- booking bits and pieces. Plus, they can preserve all of their original photos by making copies with their colour printer. Epson Canada’s Don Cameron ex- plains how the inkjet printer and scanner is an invaluable tool for home scrap- booking projects. Layout and scanning First, take the time to organize the photos you want for your vacation scrapbook. If you find you’re running short on creative ideas, visit some of the online scrapbooking Web sites to get you going, such as www.scrapbook- ing.com. You’ll get all sorts of ideas on how to get started. Once you have a layout in mind, it’s time to put your scanner to work. Most scanners can digitally reproduce photos with amazing speed and accuracy. The scanner transfers the digital copy to your computer where you can crop, shrink or enlarge the image to the size and shape your scrapbook requires, or remove im- perfections like red-eye and scratches. Printing Once your photos have been scanned and paper is in the printer, all you have to do is click start and off you go. To- day’s colour printers produce images that look just like your original photos, so you can print multiple copies of attention teachers A Day in the Life of Your School photo contest for students in Grade 7-OAC Win great prizes including...

Once you’ve got everything printed out, you’re all set to cre- ate. Tips of the trade Following proper scrapbook- ing techniques is key to ensuring your scrapbook lasts for years. Here are some tips: • The ink and the paper that you work with is crucial — choose inks and photo papers specifical- ly designed to last without fad- ing; • Using page protectors is an excellent way to shield your scrapbook’s pages and photos from moisture, dust and dirt; • To protect your memories against premature fading, avoid storing your scrapbook in direct sunlight; and • Use only acid-free, photo safe paper and adhesives for mounting photos. — News Canada METROLAND Durham Region Media Group This Week ● Canadian Statesman ● NEWS ADVERTISER Times-Journal● durhamregion.com BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Editor DURHAM —Each Feb- ruary, Cubs and Scouts in Whitby gather to race the mini-vehicles they’ve lov- ingly created out of hunks of wood. This month, some of the race cars and 18-wheelers they make are on display at Whitby Station Gallery, part of a double dose of artistic vehicles. ‘Pit Stop: Speed Ma- chines’ features Kub Kars and 18 Wheelers created by Whitby area Cubs and Scouts. This exhibit, on through Nov. 17, comple- ments the show, ‘Cruising the margins’ by Tom Ben- ner, an artist who creates three-quarter-size, colourful models of older cars and trucks. “We were delighted when the Station Gallery asked us to be part of the show,” said Gregory Luke, deputy commission of train- ing for the Whitby area. “The Cubs and Scouts work really hard when they build these things. I don’t think it occurs to them they’re creating works of art. The fact that they’re in an art gallery, they’re ecstat- ic.” About 30 young people, most of whom did the work by themselves, created the tiny racers and 18-wheel trucks on display. The cars and the trucks are raced on a special track each February, with awards for speed and design. Each youth is given a kit, which includes a block of wood for the cars and sever- al blocks for the trucks. They create their vehicles, paint them up and race them. They can’t add any- thing, other than paint and a limited amount of weights, to the kit. “They can cut it all up and glue it back together in a different shape,” Luke said. “They can’t add any- thing to it.” Cruising the margins fea- tures three larger vehicles made by Benner, who built them from wood, hides and metal. The exhibit combines his work in the relationship between humans and nature and First Nations’role in es- tablishing Canada with an examination of the appropri- ation of First Nation names and history by the car indus- try. The models on display are a 1958 Pontiac, named for an Ottawa chief who united tribes, successfully for a time, against the British, a 1958 DeSoto and a 1957 Chev Apache, dedicat- ed to Geronimo. DeSoto was a Spanish soldier who, during a four-year march into North America in the 1500s, plundered and de- stroyed native villages from Florida to Lake Michigan to Te xas, after first wrecking havoc in Peru. The brightly- painted Apache pickup truck is named for one of the pre- dominant First Nations in the southwestern United States, who fought fiercely for their territory. Geronimo was a chief of the Chiric- ahua Apache. Linda Paulocik, a racing car enthusiast, was making arrangements for the Benner show when an assistant told her of the Cub and Scout ve- hicles. She liked the idea of showing both the big and lit- tle artistic vehicles at the same time and called Luke. “They’ve been really ter- rific,” she said of Whitby area Scouts. She said the two shows make for a “special and dif- ferent” experience for everyone visiting the gallery. The gallery is open from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, noon to 5 p.m. Friday and 2 to 5 p.m. week- ends. It’s located at the cor- ner of Henry and Victoria streets. BY TONY DOYLE Staff Editor AJAX —It offers more colours than a northern On- tario landscape in autumn, and is produced by an experi- enced lineup of talent. Every fall — and spring for that matter — members of the Ajax Creative Arts group gather an impressive array of work for their annu- al shows and sales. The club has hosted these shows since 1966 and looks forward to the Nov. 22 to 24 event at the Pickering Village Communi- ty Centre. Pam Auguste, the non- profit group’s publicity direc- tor, notes more than 60 of the club’s 140 members are in the show this month, featur- ing everything from oils and watercolours, to pastels, miniatures and large paint- ings, as well as hand-painted cards. “Most people are a little dumbfounded that we have so much,” said Auguste, not- ing it appeals to all different tastes and styles. “I think everyone enjoys the show whether they buy something or not.” In addition, the event of- fers a chance to win a framed original work from a group member, and refreshments in the tearoom. Proceeds from the tearoom go to Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary in north Pickering. There is no cost to enter the show, but a portion of the art sales goes to help pay for workshops, demonstrations and other club activities. Auguste said there is plenty of talent in the group’s ranks, including members of both the Canadian and To ronto watercolour soci- eties. The club gets together usually at least five times a week, whether it is for offi- cial meetings or just to paint. Auguste said new members are always welcome, and artists certainly don’t have to make every gathering of the group. “A nyone is welcome,” she said, noting the one excep- tion is young children. “If they’re beginners, we don’t mind, we all started some- where.” The club meets out of the community centre, 22 Sher- wood Rd., and the annual cost is $60 for members. The show runs noon to 9 p.m. on the Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

The people of Detroit know ‘8 Mile’ as the city limit, a border, a boundary. It is also a psychologi- cal dividing line that sepa- rates Jimmy Smith Jr. (Em- inem) from where and who he wants to be. The young rapper strug- gles with his anger through music. Can a white kid with a blue vocabulary and lots of hate in his heart transcend his meager be- ginnings and attain global superdupermegastar suc- cess? ‘8 Mile’ is a fictional examination of a critical week in Jimmy’s life, star- ring multi-platinum recording artist Eminem in his first leading role in a feature film. Kim Basinger plays Jimmy’s mother. FEMME FATALE Directed by Brian De Palma Starring Antonio Ban- deras, Rebecca Romijn- Stamos, Peter Coyote Cool precision and ven- omous beauty entwine in the striking figure of Laure Ash (‘Rebecca Romijn- Stamos’), a woman who can only be expected to do the unexpected. A master of manipula- tion and guile, Laure plays a crucial role in a sultry jewel theft and then abruptly leaves her life of crime -––and her blood- thirsty cohorts –– behind her. Reinvented in the guise of a respectable married woman, Laure soon cap- tures the attention of Nico- las (Antonio Banderas), a soulful ex-paparazzo mes- merized by the elusive and enthralling adventuress. Attracted to the enig- matic Laure but serving an agenda of his own, Nicolas shatters her carefully craft- ed world with one shutter click of his camera. Suddenly exposed to the world and vulnerable to her enemies, Laure is de- termined to use her consid- erable assets –– and Nico- las’s voyeuristic instincts –– to transform her identi- ty and once again escape her past. But as she ensnares Nicolas in her calculated seduction, Laure finds her quest for revenge compli- cated by their mutual at- traction.

The Panthers met the previously undefeated Ajax Knights peewees, winning 4-2 on Oct. 27. Jakob Turi was Pickering’s leading scorer with two. Assisting were Jeff Paul, Ryan Lee and Sean Pavlidis. Adam Fin- layson opened the scoring for the Panthers, assisted by Cole Watkins. Anthony Lauriola rounded out the scoring with Dylan McDonald and Pavlidis drawing assists.

Cole Watkins scored the first two Pickering goals. Nigel Fleming assisted on the first goal and Taylor Robson and Adam Finlayson drew helpers on the second.

Erica Cotterell was the top scor- er for Donlands with 14; Lori Lomberg replied with 19 for Select. Players live in Ajax and Picker- ing. Pickering skater looks to land eastern trip Joanna Glavin at Central Ontario sectionals this weekend BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A Pickering skater is hoping a strong season on blades to this point will continue through the top event of the sea- son. Joanna Glavin, 16, skates in the Central Ontario Sectional Champi- onships in Woodbridge this week- end, which she described as “the biggest competition of the year for me.” A top-four finish in the novice ladies’ category will launch her into uncharted territory: the East- ern Challenge in Fredericton, N.B. later this month. The member of Skate Canada Pickering Skating Club has quali- fied for the sectionals in each of the past three years, but fell short of moving on to the Eastern Cana- dians. This year, however, she feels her previous experience should put her in good stead for a break- through. “It should be a lot better this year,”said Glavin,who’ll be joined by 16 other hopefuls in the novice ladies’ division. “The first couple of times you’re so nervous. This time, I’m just going there to skate. I’m just going to be calm. “I know what I need to do. I’m at a point where I don’t need to think about it; I just have to go out there and do it.” To advance to the sectionals, Glavin competed at the Central Ontario Sub-Sectionals in Vaughan last weekend. She placed second overall in the four groups of 12 skaters. After skating to fourth place after the short program, Glavin put it all together to finish second in the long program and second over- all. “I was really confident in my- self. There was no holding back. I just wanted to do what I normally do in practice,” said Glavin, who’s coached by Linda Donnelly. A strong summer on the ice was part of the reason she’s been able to sustain her excellence into the fall skating season. She attended the Lake Placid Summer Competi- tion in New York where she placed fourth in the short program and seventh in the long. She went on to skate at Minto Skate in Ottawa in late July. There, she placed 12th in the short pro- gram and eighth in the long pro- gram. She finished the summer in mid-August with a fourth-overall finish at Thornhill Skate. She placed fifth in the short program and fourth in the long program. In her first meet of the fall sea- son, Glavin travelled to Barrie to compete at the annual Octoberfest Competition over the Thanksgiv- ing long weekend. She placed third in the short program and fifth in the long. Because of the competitive na- ture of women’s figure skating, Glavin said a summer program, complete with competitions, is an absolute necessity. “The summer time is for build- ing onto your routines and learning new skills. You can’t take any time off,” she said. The Grade 11 student in Dun- barton High School’s high-perfor- mance athlete program is also skat- ing partially out of the Oshawa Figure Skating Club. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Local figure skater Joanna Glavin will compete at the Central Ontario Sectionals in Woodbridge this weekend. She’s aiming for a fourth-place finish or better in order to move on to the Eastern Challenge in Fredericton, N.B. later this month.

After three consecutive losses, the Generals hope to get a win Sunday when they host the Ot- tawa 67s in Ontario Hockey League action at the Civic Audi- torium Sunday at 6:35 p.m. The Generals (8-5-0-1) played Thursday night at home against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. The result wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s press dead- line. In recent action, the Generals played three road games in four days last week and came away with nothing but losses. Oshawa lost 5-0 to the Peterborough Petes last Thursday, 2-1 to the Belleville Bulls last Saturday and 7-2 to the Brampton Battalion last Sunday. The losses, however, came without two of the General’s top players — Nathan Horton, who is out until at least Nov. 22 with a small fracture in his jaw, and Ben Eager, suspended until Nov. 15. Generals’ head coach George Burnett said Horton was re-eval- uated Friday and will be kept out of the lineup at least until Nov. 22, when he will be looked at again by the team’s medical staff and, they hope, given clearance to play. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, November 8, 2002 PAGE 31 A/P Bring your family.

Bantam Lightning girls take Outlaws tourney title DURHAM —The Durham West Lightning bantam tier 2 girls’hockey team struck for the championship at the fifth annu- al Chatham Outlaws tourna- ment last weekend. After going undefeated in their first three games, the Lightning met a familiar foe in the Whitby Wolves ‘AA’team in the final. In an exciting affair, the game remained scoreless at the end of regulation time. Durham West dominated play in the extra frame and was even- tually rewarded with the game winner off the stick of Chloe Masse with two minutes to go. Britni Smith and Lindsay Hill earned assists on the overtime winner. Goaltender Jessica Larabie, the game’s most valu- able player, earned the shutout with some outstanding play. Round-robin play featured a rematch against Chatham who had beaten Durham West in a previous tournament final. Looking to avenge that loss, Durham came out strong to beat Chatham in their home rink 2-0 to begin the tournament. Goalie Jessica Rankin earned a well- deserved shutout in the victory. The Lightning continued their scoring ways by defeating Markham 5-1 and Hamilton 9-1 to earn a birth in the finals. Leading the scoring this weekend was Stephanie Boudreau with six goals and Erin Small with four. Other goal scores were Allyson Young, Britni Smith, Allyson Pehle- man, Kirsten Roach and Laura Anderson. Drawing assists were Katie Caggiula, Lindsay Hill, Carly Marshall and Rebecca Van Gijn. Alysha Chapman and Jen- nifer Wakefield were absent for the tournament. Scott Hill, Don Larabie and Randy Marshall coach the team. The trainers are Gayle Boudreau and Donna Anderson. The manager is Karen Chap- man. The Durham West Lightning bantam girls’ rep hockey team struck for the Chatham Outlaws tournament championship last weekend. Richard KariKari’s the St. FX load Pickering man among f inalists for college football’s top honour PICKERING —The 2002 collegiate football season just keeps getting better and better for Richard KariKari. The stalwart for the St. Fran- cis Xavier X-Men has done it all this season and has received recognition for his efforts, in- cluding being named Canadian university football’s outstand- ing defensive player of the week. The weekly honour came after the Pickering resident’s dominating performance in leading the X-Men to a 25-11 win over the visiting Acadia Axemen at Oland Stadium in Antigonish, N.S. last Saturday. It was the X-Men’s first playoff game in five seasons. KariKari, a starting cornerback, distin- guished himself with two inter- ceptions, one he returned 40 yards for a touchdown. He also had a 75-yard punt return. The victory pushed the X- Men into the Atlantic Universi- ty Sport Football Conference’s (AUFC) championship game Saturday against the Saint Mary’s Huskies in Halifax. The two teams finished the Atlantic conference regular season with identical 6-2 records. The weekly award has been the tip of the iceberg in terms of KariKari’s individual accom- plishments this season. He was also named an AUFC defensive and offensive all-star this sea- son, as a cornerback and for his special teams play on punt and kickoff returns. He’s been an AUFC all-star for the past three seasons. He’s also the AUFC nominee for the 2002 Hec Crighton Aw ard for the most outstanding player in Canadian collegiate football. KariKari finished the regular season with 13 tackles, two tackles for a loss and a quarter- back sack. He also leads the na- tion in punt return yardage and smashed the conference record with 777 punt return yards. On kickoff returns, he averaged 21.6 yards. He also lined up on offence for the X-Men this season. The tailback carried the ball 22 times for 101 yards and one touchdown, caught four passes for 110 yards and completed a pass for 26 yards. Dennis McPhee, head coach of St. FX, noted KariKari has been indispensable this season. “What he means to our club is that other teams now have to prepare for him as an individual as well as us as a team,” McPhee told the university’s athletic Web site. “Coaches might have to spend 10 minutes of their valuable practice time figuring out how to get him on the ground on special teams and 10 minutes figuring how to match up with him when he plays defence.” KariKari is in his third year in information systems at St. Francis.
