Clerk stabbed in heist, four nabbed Arrests lead to 158 charges in robberies across Pickering, Durham BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG —— A police stakeout of a Pickering convenience store robbery in which a man was stabbed, led to the arrest of four suspects, three of whom face more than 158 charges in 11 r obberies across Durham. Durham Regional Police said officers saw the robbery at Daisy Mart, at 512 Kingston Rd., at about 11 p.m. Wednes- day. Fo rty officers from across the reg ion were staking out local convenience stores. “There was a scuffle in the store and a Pickering man was stabbed in the back,” said De- tective Sergeant John Gilker, head of the holdup unit. The victim suffered a minor puncture wound and received two stitches at hospital. The 35-year-old man was at home resting and doing fine, accord- ing to co-workers Thursday af- ternoon. “There was a police unit at a motel across the road that ac- tually observed (the robbery),” Det. Sgt. Gilker said. Officers moved in quickly. Police were pursuing one fleeing suspect when he ran into Hwy. 2 traffic and was SERVING PICKERING SINCE 1965 News Advertiser PRESSRUN 47,600 ✦ 40 PAGES ✦ FRIDAY, MAY 23, 2003 ✦ durhamregion.com ✦ OPTIONAL DELIVERY $6/$1 NEWSSTAND GOOD GOD Carrey gets divine powers Entertainment, 29 ST E AMING UP Museum opens new season Community, 8 Steam Up & Opening Sun.

More reactor delays Control switches the latest snag; OPG still hopes for summer return to service BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Once again, the restart of a reactor at the Picker- ing Nuclear Generating Station has been delayed for technical reasons. During a relicensing hearing for the 'A'- and 'B'-side reactors, Ontario Power Generation offi- cials revealed Unit 4 on the 'A' side won't be back in service until after July 1. The first stage of restarting the reactor, called commissioning, began earlier this month when OPG removed Unit 4 from the 'guaranteed shutdown stage' and began to power it up to one per cent capacity. "Commissioning is what com- missioning is," said OPG spokesman John Earl. "We go in and test and verify. We're slowly moving back to reoperation." The latest snags were control switches that "weren't opera- tional according to design speci- fications. So we'll change the switches. It will probably result in a longer timeframe around com- missioning," Mr Earl stated. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is holding relicens- ing hearings in Ottawa. OPG is seeking a five-year operating li- cence for the 'B' side and two years for the 'A' reactors. CNSC staff is supporting the licence lengths, and commission mem- bers can grant licences of differ- ent lengths. OPG had originally hoped to have the first 'A'-side reactor back in service at least two years ago, but the time frame has con- tinually been put back as more work needed to be completed. The work is also millions of dol- lars over the original budget esti- mate.

Region offers tours and displays Saturday Some object to new bylaw, but local businesses can stay open BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––The City is going too far in giving businesses the option to stay open holiday Mondays through Thanksgiv- ing to boost the local economy, says a Pickering councillor. "I agree with Victoria Day given its proximity to (severe acute respiratory syndrome) but I question the need to go all the way out to the Civic Holiday and Thanksgiving," Wa rd 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said at Tuesday night's council meeting. The bylaw, which provides exemptions to the Retail Busi- ness Holidays Act, passed by a narrow 4-3 vote. It allows shops to stay open the Civic Holiday (Aug. 4), Labour Day (Sept. 1), and Thanksgiving (Oct. 13), as well as being retroactive to Victoria Day (May 19). City staff said the request originally came from Pickering Town Centre management. But Coun. Holland said he's already received calls from people upset they'll have to work during those days in- stead of being able to spend time with their families. "I question how hard SARS has hit Pickering," he said, pointing out other economic trends like inflation have im- pacted the City perhaps just as much over the years. Wa rd 2 City Councillor Bill McLean and Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson also voted down the bylaw. Larger stores will benefit most from being open those days, said Coun. Johnson, and smaller businesses can't "jock- ey people back and forth like the big stores. "SARS is over. Let's look after our little people." But Mayor Wayne Arthurs disputed that fact, cautioning his colleagues "not to believe everything you read in the newspapers". SARS and its economic impacts are not over and "the bounce back won't be immediate", he said.

The pellet formulation of the larvicide methoprene (Altosid, Registration #21809 under the Pest Control Products Act, Canada) will be placed into catch basins of storm drains in the area bounded by Pickering/Toronto line to the Clarington/ Haliburton-Kawartha-Pine Ridge border including Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, north to Taunton Rd. and south to Lake Ontario. All larvicide will be applied by Ontario Ministry of the Environment licensed applicators or trained technicians.

Mayor Arthurs pointed to the Mandarin restaurant as an example. Its business is starting to slowly re- cover by five per cent each week. It was down 40 per cent during the scare, he added. "No, we're not a tourist hub as such," the mayor said. "But the eco- nomic impacts are clear." Other members of council said they understood the concerns raised by workers but felt it was important to be consistent with other GTA mu- nicipalities granting the exemption. The exemption is voluntary, Mayor Arthurs stressed. Businesses can choose whether or not to open. He also felt the majority of workers' con- cerns would be addressed by labour laws.

A second man was captured following a foot chase, Mr. Selby said, while a third was nabbed north of the store after being tracked down by a police dog. A fourth person was later ar- rested at an Ajax residence by investigators following up on information about a vehicle suspected in the holdup, he said. Robbery detectives have been working the past two months to stop a crew respon- sible for more than a dozen gunpoint heists from Pickering to Oshawa. The 158 charges laid Thurs- day involved robberies that took place in Pickering (six), Whitby (four), and Oshawa (one). In most cases, three masked bandits entered stores, one holding a gun to the clerk’s head, with the others taking cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets. Junior Brown, 19, of Tragun- na Lane in Ajax, and two 16- year-old male youths from Pickering face various counts of robbery, disguise with in- tent, breach of probation, wearing disguise and assault with a weapon. In addition, Afani Gordon, 19, of Chapman Drive in Ajax, is charged with one count each of robbery, disguise with in- tent, breach of probation, wearing a disguise and assault with a weapon. All four suspects were still in police custody Thursday. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 23, 2003 PAGE 5 P POST TIME 1:30 P.M. 388 KINGSTON ROAD EAST • AJAX LIVE QUARTER HORSE RACING EVERY SUNDAY!

The 'A'-side reactors were placed in a laidup state in 19 97 following a scathing report on the plant's operation by the former Ontario Hydro. OPG wants to restart the four units one at a time over a two- to three-year peri- od. As for the commissioning stage, "we didn't put a time frame on it. It's a step process and there's a number we have to go through," Mr. Earl noted. Testing has to meet expecta- tions, he said, and "with the CNSC, we'll move to the next stage. After commissioning, if the CNSC agrees with us, the unit will be fully opera- tional." Mr. Earl likened the process to "putting a re- built motor into a car. You don't just fire it up and go. You have to test it. "The best ap- proach is the conservative ap- proach."

One need only, on pretty much any given day, walk the halls at the McLean Community Centre or tour the regular exhibits at the Pickering Nuclear Information Centre to truly appreciate the work of visual artists in our community. Or, they can take in the impressive work of the Backwoods Players theatre group to get a sense of the talent among our performing artists. Indeed, the talent base in our communities runs deep. Which is why it only seems natural to learn of plans to build a world-class centre for the arts here in west Durham. The committee for the Durham West Arts Centre is spearheading the project and while no timeline has been set, group member Edward Falkenberg said the idea won't sit around for years, rather it's "a now development". The facility will offer a showcase for up-and-coming artists to hang their work, while also attracting the work of artists from across the country, if not the world. It will offer a spot for lovers of the stage to entertain audiences and for top orches- tras and other music acts to hit all the right notes. And final- ly, it will offer a venue for speakers, for classes and for others to deliver their message. Quite simply it will put a stamp, or face if you like, on the deep-rooted arts community that Ajax and Pickering resi- dents have come to enjoy. But the centre isn't a done deal. Actually, it's only just be- yond the concept stage, with a location yet to be chosen and a business plan still being finalized. There are millions of dol- lars to be raised and thousands of people to get on board. To be sure, the dollar figure is daunting, but if the recent campaign by the Friends of the Ajax Library is an indicator, the will is there. That group met its $1-million pledge to the building of a new central branch. As for awareness, the committee itself has an extensive list of contacts from which to draw, and beyond that, the PineR- idge Arts Council and Town of Ajax's cultural arts advisory committee, to name two groups, offer valuable resources. More than anything, for the project to be a success it needs the support of all local arts groups, political leaders, service clubs and area residents. That unified front will send the message it's not a matter of if, but when. And that means it's only a matter of time until all the world is on our stage. Support your local Humane Society TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: As president of the Humane Society of Durham Region, it has come to my attention the Toronto Humane Society has hired people to canvass for funds door to door throughout Durham Re- gion. We are in no way affiliated with the To r onto Humane Society. Any money which is given to Toronto stays in Toronto. We do not receive any financial assistance or otherwise from them! The Humane Society of Durham Re- gion covers an area from Ajax/Pickering in the west to Newcastle in the east to Thorah Island in the north. We have worked closely with Oshawa Animal Services, Clarington Animal Control and Brock Township helping to place animals when we have space available. Many of our residents have been abused and abandoned or given up because of death, illness, and moves or separation. Last year, we adopted out over 850 animals into new and loving homes. We do not euthanize for length of stay. We receive no government funding for what we do and exist solely through adop- tions, fund-raising events and dona- tions from the public. The OSPCA in Newmarket, which is the head of all humane societies in On- tario and of which we are an affiliate, has made it clear in the bylaws it does not approve of solicitation outside of one's own area. The Toronto Humane Society is responsible for Toronto and has 1 million people to solicit there - it doesn't need Durham Region money as well. We do! We have so many animals here in Durham that need your support. If you have any questions, give us a call at 905-433-2022 or 905-433-3965 or come to the shelter and meet us. Fred, our three-legged, insulin-dependent shelter cat, would be happy to show you around. Please, if you want to help the ani- mals, we ask you to support your local humane society!

No- vember 30, 2027 is the day I polish my golf clubs, pack my sun- screen, stock up on Poli-Dent, put on my Tilley Hat, and bid adieu to my younger colleagues as I venture down south to my newly-purchased winter home in Arizona. Once there, I will reminisce with fellow retirees about my battles in the classroom, the fish that got away at Chitaroni's Lodge (thanks Chris), or the hole-in-one at Pebble Beach in Whitby (aka The Putting Edge). I can't wait that long! How about a long weekend in February where, when faced with the winter blahs, we can celebrate National Retirement Day? We c ould spend the day prepar- ing for our retirement. The banks could make the RRSP deadline in Fe bruary coincide with National Retirement Day; that is if they don't mind opening on a holiday. People could spend the day attending time-share presentations. All Cana- dians could sharpen their skills via indoor golf simulators. Hey, if it falls on a Wednesday, every Canadian, not just seniors, could get 10 per cent off everything at Shoppers Drug Mart. Swiss Chalet could add a new entrée to the menu in cele- bration of the national holiday! Mo re importantly, it could be a day when we celebrate and honour past retirees. Why do we simply for- get retirees once the retirement dinner finishes? Why not host an annual gathering on this day where retirees are invited back to the workplace in appreciation of their legacy? Perhaps family dinners could be organized in celebration of relatives who have retired. Or sim- ply a card of appreciation could be sent to your favourite letter carrier or sales clerk who have since re- tired. Hallmark would love this! Retirees deserve recognition on an ongoing basis; not just a one- time recognition with a token watch and dinner. My aunt, Ann Canavan, joins the ranks of retirees this year as she wraps up her long legacy of teaching in Durham. Her warm, friendly smile will no longer greet the children as they enter the kindergarten classroom, but her generosity and compassion will for- ever resonate in the lives of count- less children throughout the region. Everyone knows a retiree who serves as a mentor and inspiration in their own career. My aunt is this person to me. May 2 is her retire- ment dinner. But on Feb. 28, 2004, I am going to make sure I invite her over for dinner to celebrate the first annual National Retirement Day! Thanks Ann! Whitby resident Mike O'Neill is a teacher.

Triple A all the way in Durham BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Durham con- tinues to get financial thumbs up from one of the country's leading financial rating services. Standard and Poor's has renewed Durham's 'Triple A' credit rating following a recent review of the Re- gion's finances. "Receiving this rating from Standard and Poor's again this year reflects Durham Region's prudent financial management of taxpayer dollars," says Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson. "We are able to plan and build infrastruc- ture for our future and maintain a low debt. Our residents should be very pleased to know they are getting excellent service and value for their tax dol- lars." The high rating also means Durham's eight mu- nicipalities will be able to continue borrowing for local projects at the best interest rates. The decision by Standard and Poor's was based on a number of criteria including: • a low level of outstand- ing debt, a strong ability to liquidate assets, "robust budgetary performances and prudent financial management;" • a history of prudent fi- nancial policies by regional council "characterized by a very strong bias towards building cash reserves" to fund capital projects as op- posed to incurring debt to finance projects; • the Region's ability to liquidate assets exceeds its long-term debt obligations although it has "declined slightly" in 2003 due to con- tributions from reserve funds to upfront financing on several major capital projects including the Re- gional headquarters and a wastewater treatment fa- cility in Courtice; • the anticipation Durham's debt burden will likely remain "very moder- ate" and the ability to liqui- date strong. "Our staff and council- lors are to be congratulat- ed," Mr. Anderson says.

Historic village opens new season BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––If you've ever wondered how long it takes a paper boat to navi- gate Duffins Creek or wanted to sample dande- lion salad, here is your chance to try both. A celebration of spring takes place this Sunday (May 25) when the Picker- ing Museum Village hosts its annual Steam-Up and Opening from noon to 4:30 p.m. The event not only kicks off a season full of activities each year, but also gives visitors a peek into the spring rituals of Pickering's past. "There are a lot of activi- ties relating to spring in the fact children would be playing on the water and there would certain foods cooking," said Katrina Pike, volunteer and pro- gram coordinator. New this year is the great paper boat chal- lenge, which offers children of all ages the opportunity to construct and sail their own vessels. Plans are pro- vided through the City's We b site (www.cityofpick- ering.com) on the muse- um's Web page. Young naval enthusiasts can also design their own boats and decorate them as well. Entries must be regis- tered under the captain's name before 1 p.m. May 25 at the General Store. Each boat is given a number and can be left at the store and picked up before the race at 1:30 p.m. Visitors can also sample pioneer recipes of the sea- son. Rhubarb was a spring staple, with rhubarb loaves and crisp familiar treats, said Ms. Pike. "Dandelions were also popular," she said, adding after a cold hearty winter, past settlers were so happy to "see green" they used as many dandelions as they could in salads and such. The roots were used to make coffee. Several demonstrations will be available, including butter making and spin- ning, while the gas and steam barn will be in full operation. There will also be spring- cleaning demonstrations in some of the museum's buildings, added Dave Marlowe, education and collections officer. "It's a real trip through the past," he said. Families can enjoy wagon rides, live music, children's games and crafts, a perennial plant sale by Bloomers and Britches, or take in 'The Ugly Duckling', the Back- woods Players' latest pro- duction. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and students, $3 for children, and free for preschoolers. A family pass is $15. Pickering Museum Vil- lage is located on the south side of Hwy. 7, three kilo- metres east of Brougham. Call 905-683-8401.

"I can't see anything positive com- ing out of this and I'm an optimist - always looking for the bright side," says Mr. Graham. "There's no bright side in this situation...There's been nothing quite as potential (for finan- cial loss) as this here." However, there is silver lining for smaller beef productions, explains Clarington farmer Jamie Kent. His Orono farm is home to 60 cattle. "I'm ready to sell sides of beef at an alarming rate," Mr. Kent says. When the condition of beef is being questioned, people often turn to their neighbourhood farmer for butchered and packaged meat, he explains. "It could make our local abattoirs go even faster just because of the simple demand for sides of beef," Mr. Kent says. However, he adds, "Naturally it has depressed the price of cattle." The Kents usually sell their cows at a Lindsay market, but right now he says no one knows how low the prices will go. Even if no more infected cows are discovered, he thinks it will take at least three months for the Canadian beef industry to recover. 'This is our livelihood': Scugog farmer BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––American bor- ders closed to Canadian beef have Durham cattle sales plummeting. On Tuesday the U.S. put a temporary ban on Canadian beef exports after the federal government announced bovine spongiform en- cephalopathy (mad cow dis- ease) as responsible for the death of an Alberta cow. Al- though the cow died three months ago, test results con- firming the disease were not available until this week. Local farmers agree the an- nouncement will impact them. "With the border closed it's going to have a major finan- cial impact on Canada," says Harvey Graham, past presi- dent of the Ontario Cattle- men's Association, who was also a director for the Canadi- an Cattlemen Association. "Our markets have closed - there's no sale of cattle going on." The Graham Scugog farm currently has 750 cattle. At times, their herd has as many as 1,000 cows. During his years of farming, which started in 19 57, he says nothing has had the severe financial downfall possibilities as Tuesday's an- nouncement. "I'm very concerned," he says. "This is our livelihood and all of a sudden it changed overnight." In 1999, the Durham cattle industry was worth $30 mil- lion, says Pat Olive, the Re- g ion's commissioner of eco- nomic development. The ban applies to all rumi- nant animals and products such as sheep, goats, deer, and diary products. Because beef is such a major Canadian export, the ban affects the beef industry the most, said Derek Nelson, communica- tions assistant with the On- tario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs. Canadian beef is still safe, Mr. Graham says, and points out only one diseased cow in Canada was found so far and it didn't enter the food indus- try. He credits the fear to not being able to trace where the eight-year-old Alberta cow originally came from. "There are too many un- knowns out there, but I feel sure here in Ontario and everywhere in Canada the beef is safe." He says with about 60 per cent of beef exported, his cows are sold to producers who sell A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 23, 2003 www.durhamregion.com AA1581016WEB SITE: www.activegreenross.com HEAD OFFICE 580 EVANS AVE.

CHOOSE FROM TOYOTA’S MAZDA’S SUV’S MINI VANS PONTIAC’S CHEV’SBUICK’S GMC TRUCKS St. Mary students coast to big results PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– St. Mary Catholic Secondary School students brought their own roller-coasters to Paramount Canada's Wonderland and rode them to the top of a com- petition. Grade 12 physics students took part in Wonderland's re- cent 'math and science days' competition. As part of their indepen- dent study, students designed roller-coasters and then built models. At the end of the competi- tion, St. Mary pupils captured first and second place in the merit category out of about 100 coasters constructed by physics students from across Ontario. St. Mary physics teacher Michele Faux noted the suc- cess was due to a lot of time and dedication. "The students have been eating, sleeping and living coasters," she said. Although building a coaster sounds simple, the process is actually time consuming and far from easy, explained Ms. Faux. "It's a frustrating project," she said. "It doesn't always work right away, but it's satis- fying when it does." No class time was spent on it. Students worked in groups at home. "It takes up hours and hours every weekend," she said. Projects have been in the works since the beginning of the semester. Students made the structures using curtain rails and ball bearings. The roller-coaster project paralleled topics covered in class throughout the semes- ter, such as the gain and loss of energy, said Ms. Faux. A.J.

Politicians, community pull for ITER BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Canada's bid to host ITER is still very much alive says Dr. Murray Stewart, president of Iter Canada who is currently in Germany talking with the international community about the project. "We are taking a very ag- gressive position based on a revised offer," coming for- ward next month, Dr. Stewart says, noting excel- lent progress is being made at the international level. Meanwhile, a barrage of lobbying, meetings and ed- ucation campaigns contin- ue as this community fights to win federal sup- port for Canada's bid to host a multi-billion dollar international fusion facili- ty. "We are very pleased with how things are unfold- ing. Obviously we still have challenges in Ottawa, but clearly the position from the Province has really fo- cussed the minds in Ot- tawa," says Dr. Stewart. According to a number of sources, all Durham and Northumberland's repre- sentatives from the various levels of government are now working together to garner the federal govern- ment's support for Cana- da's bid to host the $12-bil- lion energy research facili- ty. In the past week, Durham MP Alex Shep- herd has reportedly "done a turn around" with his ef- forts to bring the project to the attention of his govern- ment, says Clarington Mayor John Mutton. "Now that the member has been briefed on all the facts and benefits of host- ing ITER, he seems better able to present and lobby for the project," says the mayor. If Canada is chosen to host the facility, the provin- cial and federal govern- ments will need to commit $2.3 billion over the next 30 years to the project. The Province has said it will provide 50 per cent of the required funding if Canada wins the right to host the facility against competing bids with Spain, France and Japan, which also hope to host the research centre. Canada needs to confirm if it is still bidding for the project at a meeting with the G-8 partners, June 19 in Vienna, says Dr. Stew- art. He believes that will happen. "Maybe the final T's will not be crossed but I believe we will have a deal," the negotiators can take forward, he says. Economic studies of the project indicate the host site would receive about $10 billion in revenue from the project. Non-host part- ners will also benefit eco- nomically from participa- tion in the project, accord- ing to Dr. Stewart. Although Mr. Shepherd continues to disregard This Week's numerous calls for comment, the paper has learned he met with Ottawa's highest- ranking bureaucrat, Alexander Himelfarb, clerk to the Privy Council, Wednesday. Mr. Himelfarb is expected to provide in- formation on the federal government's position and an economic feasibility study to the Durham MP next week. Mr. Shepherd is report- ed to have set up a meet- ing, May 27, between com- munity representatives and Herb Dhaliwal, minis- ter of natural resources. A University of Toronto pro- fessor will accompany the Clarington delegation to discuss the science aspects of the project and the fed- eral cabinet senior science advisers have been invited to attend. The Iter Community Council is urging the com- munity to get involved by voicing support for the project in a petition on the Iter Community Council We b site - www.itercommu- nity.com - or at www.We- WantIter.com. Group members work toward world-class arts centre BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Imagine a place where you can catch a play, take an art lesson and stroll through an exhibit. Up until now, that's all Ajax and Pickering residents have been able to do -- imagine. But the committee for the Durham West Arts Centre is hoping to change all that. "We've been trying to raise awareness for some time about local artists but it's our goal to have an arts and per- formance centre built some- where in Ajax or Pickering," explained committee chair- man Edward Falkenberg. For all the arts activity in west Durham, there's no gallery per se to showcase local talent, he said. Nor is there a theatre for live per- formances. His group envisions a world-class centre worthy of attracting both large nation- al shows, as well as local ex- hibits. It would also host lectures, plays, art instruction classes and a fine restaurant. The project will take several mil- lions of dollars and extensive fund-raising efforts. "We want it to be a visible thing people will want to go to all the time," said Falken- berg. "If we get a first-class building with a super archi- tectural presentation it will attract the public." The push for such a centre is still in the early stages. There are no conceptual drawings yet and a location hasn't been chosen. The com- mittee is just in the process of finalizing a business plan. But the idea of an art gallery in Ajax or Pickering has been discussed by a number of groups for at least a decade, said Falkenberg. Eventually the local sculptor teamed up with Pickering historian John Sabean to form a committee with that aim in mind. It currently seats 12 members. Asked for a timeline, Falkenberg said no target date has been set for an opening but his committee is thinking imminently rather than years down the road. "You can't say, 'We'll build it in 10 years' because it will never get built," he said. "It's a now development." An audio-visual presenta- tion on the art of Tom Thom- son Friday, May 30 marks the centre's "first foray into the public realm", said Falken- berg. It takes place at 7 p.m. at Dunbarton-Fairport United Church, 1066 Dunbarton Rd., Pickering. Charles Hill, curator of Canadian art at the National Art Gallery of Canada in Ot- tawa, presents a lecture on the Claremont native. Born in 1877, Thomson was never a member of the Group of Seven, but he has always been thought of in connec- tion with the development of the national school of art. With his love for the rugged northern landscape, Thom- son had a profound influence on the artists he met while working at Grip Limited in Tor onto. They, in turn, urged Thom- son to give up his commercial work and devote himself to painting and the rest is histo- ry. The Pickering Community Concert Band also performs May 30, and an exhibit of art- work by local high school stu- dents will be on display. Tickets are $10 each. For more information, call Sabean at 905-831-3811 or Falkenberg at 905-649-2444. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 23, 2003 PAGE 15 A/P DUNN’S in the Oshawa Centre Your Graduation and Teen Man Store DUNN’S Tai lors - Oshawa Centre Across from Currency Exchange A SIZE FOR EVERY MAN WE CARRY SUIT SIZES FROM 34 TO 54 SUNDAY 11:00-5:00 MON.

DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A conference on AIDS aimed at educating the community will be held in Os- hawa May 26 and 27. The goals of the two-day con- ference, according to the AIDS Committee of Durham, are to educate the community con- cerning HIV and AIDS treat- ment, support, community de- velopment, skills building, ecu- menical and global issues. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune De- ficiency Syndrome and HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS. Peter Richtig, executive direc- tor of the local committee, says people from Toronto, London, Ont. and as far away as New Brunswick have registered for the conference. But he hopes Durham residents will also at- tend. "It's hard to get actual figures," he says of the number of HIV/AIDS infected people living in Durham. "One out of every three people (globally) is infected. Statistical- ly, 120 people out of every 100,000 are infected. So, statistically, based on a population of 500,000, there should be 600 cases (in Durham Region)." The number could be greater or less depending on where an individual is tested and diag- nosed. If it is at an anonymous testing facility in Toronto, for ex- ample, that person will be recorded as living in Toronto. Te sting for AIDS/HIV anony- mously in Durham Region is un- available, adds Mr. Richtig. Key speakers at the confer- ence include Dr. Mark Wainberg, McGill University AIDS Centre, Dr. Michael Silverman, Positive Care Clinic, Lakeridge Health Corporation, Dr. Lisa Trepanier, Family and General Medicine program, Lakeridge Health Os- hawa and Ruth Carey, executive director, HIV/AIDS Legal Clinic of Ontario. More than a dozen workshops over the two-day pe- riod will discuss topics ranging from homophobia to patient care and social justice.

AIDS conference features experts Feed your golf game and a young child DDUURRHHAAMM ––––An upcoming charity golf tournament is helping bring Durham's Child Nutrition Project up to par. Sylvan Learning Centre is host- ing a charity golf tournament and silent auction Friday, May 30 at Oakridge Golf Club, west of Port Perry. Proceeds are used to ensure every child in Durham has the opportuni- ty to attend school well-nourished and ready to learn, said Stephanie Miskew, co-ordinator of Durham's Child Nutrition Project. "Last year, over 11,000 children in Durham accessed a nutrition pro- g ram supported by Durham's Child Nutrition Project," she noted. The event also creates awareness about child nutrition, said Rita Cruickshank, director of the Sylvan Learning Centre in Whitby and Courtice. Tee-off is at 11 a.m. and the cost is $100, which includes green fees, a cart, dinner, range, prizes and a silent auction. For more information, call 905- 404-1818. Visions of lush colourful annual flowers cascading gracefully from hanging baskets placed on either side of the garage door; visions of elegant, classical urns over- flowing with a riot of petalled blooms flanking the entranceway; visions of window boxes and multi-patterned planters surrounding the backyard pool or patio. Annual planters are an excellent choice to carry the garden forward throughout the entire outdoor “living spaces” with vibrancy, fragrance and colour. The welcome addition of annual flowering baskets and planters is one of the easiest ways to achieve instant colour and vibrancy in a variety of home gardening or landscaping situations. Container gardening is also a popular activity for both the novice or experienced gardener and is limited only by the amount of time and attention that can be devoted to regular maintenance. Space, naturally is an issue, however, just like the phrase “I know I have the room in my garden for this plant” so do we f ind the space for “this gorgeous planter will just finish off the look of the front entranceway....”. For added dashes of colour, for extending your gardening vision, for unique outdoor decorating, annual planters and hanging baskets are excellent, versatile choices. The two main components for container planting are, the container and secondly, the plants. Containers and planters are available in a variety of styles, shapes, colour and textures and can be a permanent feature in the landscape or easily moveable. The newer resin and fiberglass planters are excellent for container planting as they can remain outdoors the entire year, withstanding the cold winter temperatures without cracking or chipping. Lightweight, they are easy to move into larger groupings with existing planters when an added impact is required. The type and style of planter is only limited by your imagination and unique gardening vision. Annual flowers that make interesting combinations for your planters and containers are also only limited by your imagination, however five popular, colourful choices would be: 1: Classic geraniums surrounded by cascading bacopa but instead of the traditional dracena spike substitute annual purple fountain grass. 2. New Wave petunias, already vibrant and colourful with the added addition of contrasting yellow. 3. Shade-loving double impatiens, with multi-patterned coleus used to trail dramatically. 4. Fragrant combinations of dark purple heliotrope, allysum and sweetly scented nicotiana. 5. Walk the aisles of your local garden centre and select a planter already planted and use that same combination to select plants for any additional planters you have at home....an easy way to ensure the vision for your garden. Add drama to any available space with the addition of annual planters and hanging baskets and until next week’s column....”Sit Back and Vision Your Garden”. Visions of the Garden Janice J.

Trustee expenses up 20 per cent BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Catholic trustee expens- es rose by almost 20 per cent in 2002. The Durham Catholic District School Board, at Monday's board meeting, released the trustee ex- pense and attendance record for last year. Total expenses on the eight- member board were $21,671.49, up from $18,179.47 in 2001. In 1999 and 2000, trustees spent an average of $17,367.10. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin, one of two Whitby trustees, spent the most, with a total of $8,673.64. While it is the highest amount filed by a chair- man in recent years, Trustee Martin made no apologies. "I worked extremely hard on behalf of this board this past year," she said in an interview. "I did a lot of travel- ling and attended a lot of workshops, seminars, conventions and confer- ences." Among her trips, Trustee Martin noted, was one to Vancouver for the Canadian Catholic School Trustees' Association's annual convention. She said her expense numbers are being reviewed. While the total is ac- curate, Trustee Martin said some ex- penses might not have been assigned to the right category. Trustees can claim expenses on both individual and board-sent ac- counts. The latter refers to functions a trustee attends as the board's rep- resentative. Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira claimed $4,425.04, followed by board vice-chairman Joe Corey, an Oshawa trustee, at $2,446.85. Next on the list was Whitby Trustee Scott Murdock, with $2,412.45 in 2002. Fred Jones, the trustee for Brock-Uxbridge-Scugog, spent $1,692.77, while Ajax Trustee Janice Oldman claimed $1,191.14 and Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty's tab was $829.60. Oshawa Trustee Kathy LeFort, sworn in halfway through the year, did not claim a cent. Trustee Martin at the meeting complimented trustees on their at- tendance record last year. Trustees Corey and Murdock did not miss one of the 27 regular and special board meetings in 2002, while Trustee Martin missed two. Trustees Pereira, Oldman and McCafferty were absent for three apiece, while Trustee LeFort missed three of 14 meetings held since July. Trustee Jones was absent for five meetings.

ADVERTISEMENT Pickering artist's illustrations bring book to life BByy AAlliissoonn BBeellll Special to the News Advertiser PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Love and re- spect of the people and land in northern Ontario has led to publication of a Pickering artist's work. Heather Holmlund is the illustrator of the children's book 'As Long as the Rivers Flow', written by Larry Loyie and Constance Bris- senden, and published by Groundwood Books. "It is a semi-autobio- g raphical account of Larry's last summer before he and his brothers and sisters were taken away to residential school," said Holmlund. During the time the book is set, First Nations chil- dren were taken from their families and educated by churches and residential schools, detached from their culture. "It's a very powerful story because it's about a family knowing that at the out- come of the summer they are going to have to face the most horrible night- mare any family is going to have to face -- being sepa- rated," she said. The Pickering resident first came into contact with the book's authors when they attended one of her art shows three summers ago. The show's theme dealt with the north and First Nations people. Dur- ing the last couple hours of the show, and coincidental- ly the author's last day in Ontario, they saw Holm- lund's work and immedi- ately contacted her. Their search for an illustrator had begun more than two years before. "They wanted a realist," she said. "Someone who could capture the expres- sion of the northern people and the landscape." It took almost two years after her first contact with Groundwood Books for Holmlund to deeply get into her work. She began to sketch ideas before receiv- ing her contract, but re- searched to thoroughly un- derstand the book's set- ting. Although her upbringing in northern Ontario pro- vided her with visions of how to illustrate the land- scape, she had to under- stand the animals, topog- raphy and geography of the land. The different stages of summer had to be taken into account, as well as Na- tive culture at the time. "I spent a lot of time learning about the culture of the Cree People of north- ern Alberta, their habits, what type of trucks they had, what their utensils would be like, what their blankets were like and what their dress was like," she said. Holmlund examined photograph after photo- graph of the area, and also relied on her recollection of her own summers in north- ern Ontario. "I had files and files of re- search," she said. "The Ajax-Pickering libraries were very helpful." To accurately portray his family, Holmlund relied heavily on descriptions from Loyie, rather than the few, very small black and white photographs she was provided with. Her research time was cut short by fast-approach- ing deadlines. It normally takes at least a year to il- lustrate a book like 'As Long as the Rivers Flow', but Holmlund had only six months. Shortened time- lines forced her into her home studio for 12 hours per day, seven days a week. In the end, she complet- ed 34 watercolours for the book, which was released in Canada in October 2002, and the United States on March 1, 2003. Holmlund has received increasing acknowledge- ment for the work. The book earned her and the authors a spot as guest speakers at the Vancouver International Writers Festi- val in October. She also speaks in local schools and works with students to teach beginner artistic skills. "It's amazing how quiet the children get when they start focusing," she said. She came to the Toronto area from her home in Fort Frances to study fine art and visual arts at York Uni- versity. She met her hus- band 25 years ago, and has made her home in Picker- ing for more than 20 years. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 23, 2003 PAGE 29 A/P Po rt Hope Festival Theatre Professional Theatre in Historic Port Hope “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change”June 5 - 21 Musical comedy revue by J.

The top two junior hurdlers in Canada were on the same track competing Wednesday - not at a national championship, not at a provincial championship, not even at a regional championship. Rather, the top two junior hur- dlers in the country were vying for local bragging rights as part of an impressive group of elite athletes competing at the LOSSA track and field championships at Civic Stadium. Paul Martin of Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School edged Cameron Sahadath of Pickering High School in the senior boys' 110- metre hurdles, the feature event Wednesday, the first of two days of competition involving more than 550 athletes and 27 of 31 LOSSA schools. But expect this rivalry to heat up and continue on, perhaps all the way to the Olympic stage someday. Both have advanced to the On- tario Central Region champi- onships next Wednesday at York University, where they will almost certainly advance to the OFSAA provincial championships June 5- 7 in St. Catharines and claim gold and silver. It's more a matter of who will take the top prize. "We've raced a lot over the last four years. We've had good races, I've beaten him, he's beaten me," says Sahadath. "I think we'll both do well at OFSAA. I'm still going for my gold and the record, that's what I want." Sahadath is an 18-year-old Brooklin resident, but attends Pickering High in part because his uncle, Cyril, coaches there. He says he is still early in the training process this season and was sim- ply using the LOSSA meet to gauge where he's at. Since the se- nior race had only four entrants and under the rules, the top five from LOSSA move to the Central reg ionals, all the competitors knew they had qualified before the starter's pistol sounded. "Obviously I was making it through even if I just walked, but it's important to me to get into a good section for regionals, so I think I did that here," says Saha- dath. "It wasn't my best race." Mar tin, meantime, appeared very calm as he completed the event in 14.37 seconds, 0.47 off the LOSSA senior boys' record. "Taking into consideration the (cold and windy) weather and the fact the top five go to regionals next week, I just took it easy, just made sure I finished the race," said Martin, also 18. "I ran relaxed and I'm waiting for next week." In the field, Mark Dillon of Bow- manville High School surprised absolutely nobody by breaking the senior boys' high jump record. A three-time OFSAA champion and the top-ranked junior high jumper in the country, Dillon's leap of 2.10m broke Chris Scott's 19-year-old record by .05m. Almost certain to win another OFSAA title, the 6-foot-7 Dillon has his sights set on the provin- cial record of 2.24m set by Michael Ponikvar of St. Catharines in 1998. Dillon's personal bet is 2.21m. "I don't want to sound cocky, but I don't think anybody's been jumping what I've been jumping," Dillon, 18, says of the OFSAA competition. "I want to break the record... It'll have to be a good jump, but I think it's realistic."

DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The Durham Flames finally appear to be on the right track. After a roller-coaster ride through their first four seasons in the Canadian Professional Soccer League, with many more valleys than peaks, the Flames are hop- ing to wind up their fifth cam- paign with a stop in the playoffs for the first time. Don't bet against them. On a practical level, a more- generous-than-ever system will see three of six teams in the East- ern Conference qualify for the post-season. But it goes beyond that for the local franchise, which seems to be learning from the past and turn- ing baby steps into youthful strides. It all starts at the top, where head coach Steve Hamill and his staff enters the second of an un- precedented three-year commit- ment from the team. After plow- ing through three coaches in as many years, the Flames have at last given someone a chance to learn from his own mistakes. And Hamill readily admits he made his share in his rookie sea- son. After a sizzling mid-season performance that put the Flames within reach of a playoff spot, Hamill watched more than a half dozen players leave for college and his team collapse down the stretch. "Obviously the first year was a learning process," says Hamill, who will rely much less on college players this time around. "This year, obviously we're still learning, but hopefully we'll have a better year. We'll iron out the mistakes we made last year." Last season's exodus aside, the Flames will be more stable than ever before in the playing ranks as well. Hamill is excited about the prospect of working again with the likes of striker Jamoh Welch, midfielders Desi Humphries, Jamal Jupiter and Adam Vickers and defender Lawrence Led- widge. And, with an average age of 22, the Flames are not only looking to improve on last season's 7-10-2 record, but for bigger and better things down the road. "The nucleus of our team is made up of players who were highly rated as youth soccer play- ers," says assistant coach Tony Cabral. "We want to make the or- ganization so vibrant, so success- ful, that every player in Durham Region will want to be part of the Flames." Hamill and Cabral promise an entertaining brand of soccer and hope to see the fan base swell this season - although they are quick to point out the Flames do better than most in that regard. They open the season at Civic Stadium on Saturday, May 24 against St. Catharines. Game time is 7 p.m. Durham Flames ready for pro soccer season Careers505 CALL CENTRE Workshop Training at Durham College, Whitby.
