Frenchman's Bay event will evolve in coming years BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––Don't miss your last chance to do it up big this weekend at the Frenchman's Bay Festival. Talks are under way to scale back the 12-year-old weekend-long beach party next year and transform it into a series of smaller festi- vals, much like Winterfest. "Something has to be done," said Dave Johnson, who has chaired the event since 1998. "There are a lot of businesses and homes going up down there." Organizers say since Liver- pool Road south is changing, perhaps its time for the festi- val to evolve as well. About 10,000 people are expected to make their way to Millenni- um Square June 5 to 8 and maybe that's just too much activity for one weekend, said Mr. Johnson. "It's been suggested Frenchman's Bay Festival could take a different form, like Winterfest. Instead of having one big event, it could kick off a series of small events spread out over a month or so," he said. City officials plan to sit down with Mr. Johnson im- mediately after this year's event to iron out its future, said Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Holland. He envi- sions an organizational model similar to Winterfest, in which the City partners Festival ready for big send-off Nuclear panel f inally in place Former national energy minister heads panel ex amining cost overruns, delays in Pickering BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––The reasons for the delays and cost over- runs in restarting the Picker- ing 'A'-side nuclear reactors should be known by the end of the year. Ontario Energy Minister John Baird announced Fri- day a three-member panel, headed by former federal cabinet minister Jake Epp, will review the situation at the plant. An interim report is to be completed in the fall and the final report is due by Dec. 31. "It's not a public inquiry," said Dan Miles, a spokesman for Mr. Baird, but a review of the circumstances surround- ing the delay. The first of the four 'A' re- actors was originally sched- uled to be back in service at least two years ago. Also, re- furbishing all four units car- ried an initial price tag of about $800 million. Unit 4, the first being restarted, is now slated to be back to full power in August, while no return date has been set for the three other reactors. The cost for the restart is now at about $2.5 billion. The four 'A'-side reactors were laid-up in 1997 following a stinging report on the plant's operation by the for- mer Ontario Hydro. Last fall, Premier Ernie Eves an- nounced a review would be called into the restart delays and cost overruns.

Local councillors decided at Monday night's council meeting to lower the speed limit from 50 to 40 km/h on local and collector roads in Pickering. The change won't take place overnight, but will be addressed in a "comprehen- sive fashion" with an imple- mentation strategy, said Mayor Wayne Arthurs. City staff is expected to bring back the bylaw no later than Sept. 15, with a report outlining which streets should get the lower designa- tion. The bylaw isn't a "blanket motion," but it is Pickering's attempt to be consistent in addressing safety on residen- tial streets, said Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan in rais- ing the issue. "The purpose is to bring two-thirds of the City of Pick- ering streets in conformity with what has been in place since 1975 south of the 401," he ✦See City page A4 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo It’s the end of an era of sorts for the Frenchman’s Bay Festival.

He held three cabinet posts, including energy, mines and re- sources. From 1993 to 2000, he was vice-presi- dent of TransCanada Pipelines. "I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting down to work, but I have no illusions," said Mr. Epp in a release. "This is a complex project and the task at hand will be challenging." Joining Mr. Epp on the panel are Peter Barnes and Robin Jeffrey. Mr. Barnes is chairman of George Brown College in Toronto. He served as secretary to the cabinet in the David Peterson and Bob Rae provincial gov- ernments. He was also deputy minister with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology, and the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Ser- vices. Mr. Jeffrey has an ex- tensive background in nu- clear energy, including serving as chief executive officer of Scottish Nuclear in 1992. He was co-deputy chairman of British Ener- gy in 1995, while from 1998 on he led the British En- ergy team overseeing the transfer of the Bruce Nu- clear Station from OPG and the creation of Bruce Power. The topics the panel will review include trying to determine the reasons and reasonableness of the changes in the schedule and the return to service dates. Other topics include: • Determine the rea- sons and reasonableness of cost estimates and cost increases; • Review the financial reporting for project costs; • Make recommenda- tions to the minister on means of improving the management of the pro- ject to restore the station to full operation, includ- ing measures to ensure the cost-effective and timely completion of the project; and • Make such further re- view, determination or recommendation as the minister may require. "We're really pleased the review has been called," said OPG spokesman John Earl. "We look for- ward to co-operating with the review panel. We'll as- sist them with any assis- tance they ask for." He added the panel isn't working yet, "so we're not sure what they want. "It certainly looks like a quality panel.

"Obviously the minister feels very strongly that Ontario tax- payers have the right to know what's going on there, what de- cisions were made, how it can be improved to learn from past mistakes," he said. However, Dave Martin, of the Sierra Club of Canada, which is a watchdog for the nuclear in- dustry, said the panel's man- date won't get to the bottom of the problems at the station. "The Pickering nuclear re- view being conducted by the Eves' government is a one- sided whitewash, but even a bi- ased review can't make a pig fly. “The Pickering 'A' nuclear station is a lemon," said Mr. Mar tin. ✦ Panel from page A1 Team talks mental health DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The promotion of digni- ty for the mentally ill and disabled is a top priority for the Durham branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

First board budget draft calls for 103 more assistants BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The public school board plans to have roughly 103 more edu- cational assistants in the system next year -- so far. The Durham District School Board presented the first draft of its 2003/04 budget at Tuesday night's education finance committee meeting, a bal- anced budget that includes 82 more elementary and 21 more high school EAs. However Don McLean, the board's superintendent of special education, said those numbers amounted to "an educated guess. "It's based upon what our staff are telling us and our community agen- cies are telling us. We won't really know until September. "I won't guarantee you there will be 552 (in total) in the elementary panel and 164 in the secondary panel; there will be fluctuations." Business superintendent Ed Hod- gins noted the number includes the 40 more EAs the board approved in January. He said the $465,298,417-draft bud- get reflects the changes in revenue as a result of provincial funding an- nouncements in recent months. The figure is 8.4 per cent higher than last year. The special education budget at the elementary level is up 21 per cent, to a proposed $42,594,956, while at the high school level the $12,584,137 represents a 16.5-per-cent increase. For the first time since the funding formula was introduced in 1998, the board expects to have lower enrol- ment next year, and will receive an $810,000 declining-enrolment grant from the Province. After the approval early last year of the board's second system-wide building plan, this year's capital bud- get is a more modest $19.05 million. That includes $7.5 million for the un- named public school in Ajax pro- posed for Church Street and Delaney Drive, $3.2 million for the addition to Colonel J.E. Farewell Public School in Whitby, and $3.8 million to enlarge Valley Farm Public School in Picker- ing. The board once again plans about $4 million in maintenance projects at schools across Durham. The high- price items include $800,000 to up- grade science labs at Henry Street High School in Whitby and partial roof replacements at T.R. McEwen Public School in Oshawa ($350,000) and at the E.A. Lovell Continuing Ed- ucation Centre in Oshawa ($250,000). Window replacements in the court- yard at Ajax High School have a $15 0,000 price tag, and Prince Albert Public School in Scugog is also re- ceiving a partial roof replacement, with a budgeted cost of $100,000. However over $13 million in pro- jects did not make this year's list. Sci- ence lab upgrades, costing $800,000 apiece, are also needed at Anderson Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Whitby, R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa, Dunbarton High School in Pickering and O'Neill Colle- giate and Vocational Institute in Os- hawa. Three schools require new boilers, prompting Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine to wonder how dire the situation is at the schools. "Forty per cent of our buildings are 40 years old and over," replied Jack Massie, the board's facilities superin- tendent. He said the board has made many improvements in recent years, but "we've got a long way to go." Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers asked why the board is spending $25,000 to replace the front entrance stairs at R.A. Hutchison Public School in Whitby, since the board in its last accommodation plan decided to close the school. Mr. Massie said the stairs have been an ongoing problem, requiring yearly maintenance. After this past long, cold winter, the stairs are even worse off. "They're literally a safety hazard," he said. The education finance committee met again last night. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 4, 2003 PAGE A3 A/P OVERSIZE EXTRA CHARGE CLOTHING FOR MEN CLEARANCE SALE MEN’S SUITS $129.99 LEE KHAKIS & JEANS $29.99 SPORTCOATS $99.99 DOCKERS CASUAL PANTS $39.99 GOLF SHIRTS $19.99 2/$35 DRESS SHIRTS $19.99 2/$35 DRESS PANTS $29.99 DRESS SHOES $49.99 Pickering 705 Kingston Road 905 837-2720 Ajax 90 Kingston Road 9 05 686-1176 NE062A103 ©2003.

Ryan, and added, "It's something I think we've all heard about from our con- stituents. "The commu- nity I live in is one of the com- munities north of the 401 which has moved to 40 km and there is a great appreci- ation from resi- dents. There's a level of control, and a comfort- ing effect, espe- cially to parents of young chil- dren." Lowering more residen- tial streets to 40 will "send out the message to people to think about what they are doing," added Ward 2 Regional Coun- cillor Mark Hol- land. "People for- get. They come off the 401 and have no sense of their speed. But speeding kills. It's a theme that just comes up again and again." While agree- ing with the in- tent of the bylaw, Ward 3 Regional Coun- cillor Rick Johnson wor- ried about en- forcement. "I think we should spend a little more time on this," he said. "I want Durham Regional Police to comment on (the report) when it comes back, because when you talk about traffic ex- perts, there's no better expert than a police of- ficer." Police en- forcement will be much the same at 40 km/h as it currently is at 50 (the non- posted speed limit), added Coun. Ryan. "It's an issue of resources and the re- sources remain the same, but what this does is create aware- ness in the com- munity." ✦ Lower from page A1 Lower speeds for city roads with corporate sponsors, but really takes the lead in planning. Pickering at one time ran the event, but over the years relin- quished control to a group made up of community volunteers, providing it with an annual donation. With the City stepping in, volunteers won't have to worry about the "crippling" insurance costs to host the festival, Coun. Holland said. The festival could still kick off the first Saturday in June, but scale back to ecological and nautical events hosted all along the bay, not just at the end of Liverpool Road, he said. The street dance could stay, he sug- gested, but larger events like the midway and the beer tent might be eliminated. "Those are real revenue generators for the festival," Coun. Holland said. "If we're going to stop them the City is going to have to take a real role in providing some funding." If you want to take that one last ride this weekend, you'll find a roomi- er midway. Last year, rides were re- stricted to only half of the parking lot but the City has since acquired the entire area. It has also spent $140,000 installing new jungle gyms complete with sails, which create shade for some areas. The midway gets an early start Thursday, June 5 from 3 to 8 p.m., with a $12 pay-one-price passport available. Opening ceremonies kick off Fri- day, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Water- front Bistro beer garden. Master of ceremonies Spider Jones presents local rock band Dino and the Boys. It's also loonie day at the midway with rides costing $1 from noon to 6 p.m. The fun continues Saturday, June 7 beginning at 11 a.m. The children's splash park, face painting, a petting zoo, pony rides and jumping castles take place all day Saturday and Sun- day near the playground area. The Optimist Club also hosts a bi- cycle safety and registration event for children, followed by the Toronto Police Trail Hogs Bike Stunt Team. Local DJ Malibu Bob puts his own spin on the evening wrapping up the day with a street dance at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 8 is kids' day. Take in Princess Karma's magic show or clown around with Professor Snape (not the Harry Potter character). Cheer on your favourite server at the Molson bartender races in the after- noon. There will also be a raffle during the festival for a four-night stay for four adults at Sandals' Beaches Re- sort in Varaderos, Cuba. Park at the GO Station and take the free bus to the festival.

But he denied killing Mrs. Raghu- nauth, 28, claiming his wife took her own life by drinking a cup of poison after confirming his infidelity. "Would that be enough to push her over the edge on Mother's Day? Is that what broke the camel's back?" defence lawyer Donna Kellway said of pictures Mr. Raghunauth claimed his wife found of him with his New York mistress Indira Seonarain. The cou- ple was engaged April 22, 2000. While family members described Mrs. Raghunauth as happy, evidence showed she was in a fragile state of mind, pregnant, depressed about her failing marriage and full of suspicions about her husband, Ms. Kellway said. "She suspects he's cheating on her and she's right," she said, suggesting Mrs. Raghunauth had previously at- tempted suicide back in her native Guyana. "Geeta was not the person she ap- peared to be. Ganesh is not the per- son he appeared to be. I have no doubt if this was a popularity contest Mr. Raghunauth would not get your vote," Ms. Kellway told jurors. In the defence scenario, Mrs. Raghunauth decided on suicide after the discovery and sent her husband and father-in-law, visiting from Guyana, out to the store, telling them to take the couple's one-year-old son. She prepared a cyanide mix and went to the upstairs bathroom in her Beaton Way home to "watch herself in the mirror as she took her last drink." Prosecutor Cindy Johnston argued Mr. Raghunauth began drawing a plan to murder his wife several months prior to her death. His mo- tive, she said, was twofold: money and his mistress. Mr. Raghunauth was living well be- yond his means, jet-setting around the U.S. to visit Ms. Seonarain and other women as his mortgage, car payments and mounting credit card bills piled up, said the Crown. "To support his lifestyle he took up committing frauds and stealing from relatives... The more money the bet- ter... He couldn't support both lifestyles any more," she said, adding his wife's pregnancy and "the prospect of another mouth to feed" sped up his plans. Ms. Johnston said Mr. Raghunauth sought to escape financial and family burdens without having to worry about a costly divorce or support payments. "The financial gain from the death of his wife was an added incentive, it was a bonus," she said of a mortgage insurance claim he made after she died. Mrs. Raghunauth was a deeply re- ligious woman, "she was a good per- son," betrayed by a man who only married her to gain entry to Canada, said the prosecutor. The Crown said Mr. Raghunauth made numerous inquiries about cyanide and drugs in the months prior to his wife's death, once asking co-workers their "drug of choice" to kill someone or themselves. Prior to Mother's Day, he gave his mistress his wife's Hindu ceremonial dress, court heard. "You saw the picture of (Ms. Seonarain) wearing it. No, Geeta wouldn't be needing that Shaliwar for much longer," Ms. Johnston said. Although Mr. Raghunauth claimed he wasn't serious about marrying Ms. Seonarain, evidence shows other- wise, she said. "Look at the ring he gives her, the diamond in that ring. It's a beautiful ring. Look at the pictures he kept of their engagement party... where they are drinking and eating cake," she said of photos entered as evidence. Ms. Johnston said Mr. Raghunauth prepared his wife a spicy lunch "treat" on Mother's Day, which he spiked with the sedative Temazepam. He then went out with his father to create a false alibi, waiting for the drug to render Mrs. Raghunauth nearly unconscious, the prosecutor said. He then returned home to "feed his wife cyanide," said Ms. Johnston. She said toxicology evidence showed Mrs. Raghunauth digested the equivalent of eight Temazepam capsules and could not have been ca- pable of holding a cup of cyanide, which causes agonizing death within minutes. She had more than 64 times the lethal amount of cyanide in her sys- tem, court heard. Jury deliberations were expected to begin today. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 4, 2003 PAGE A5 P Not valid with any other coupon or promotional offers. *Excludes Sport Mart Gift Cards & previous purchases. 10 %–50% OFF Everything in the Store!* 10 %–50% OFF Everything in the Store!* Scratch & Save 10% to 50% off your entire purchase of $69.99 or more!

Jurors hear two theories on cause of death ✦ Jurors from page A1 Ernie Eves relies on New Brunswick firm for help Got a call a few days ago asking me to vote for Ernie Eves - all the way from New Brunswick. The caller was not an excited Maritimer informing that the east coast is buzzing over the Ontario Progressive Conserva- tive premier's accomplish- ments, nor an expatriate Ontar- ian letting it be known who he would vote for if he could. The caller, obviously youthful, introduced herself by her first name and said she was phoning "on behalf of Ernie Eves and your local candidate, Charis Kelso," the Tory running in the Toronto riding of St. Paul's. She said Mr. Eves's policies include allowing homeowners to deduct part of their mortgage interest payments from taxes and "no more teachers' strikes" and asked if I would vote for him when the election is called. When told there are concerns whether Mr. Eves will keep promises, because he has backed off several, including one to sell the Province's elec- tricity transmission network, she said she knew nothing about that. Asked what other policies Premier Eves has, she started to read from his platform, 'The Road Ahead'. To other ques- tions, she said she was phoning from Miramichi and was a stu- dent employed by an organiza- tion she identified, after turning to someone to confirm, as 'Re- sponsive Marketing Group.' This raises embarrassing questions for the Tories. Parties normally use volunteers, often party members, to phone voters seeking support, and the Tories over the years have been able to count on more than their share of them. Vo ters called at their homes and asked to support a candi- date envisage they are being called from a bustling cam- paign office not far away, packed with public-spirited vol- unteers, working enthusiasti- cally to elect the person of their choice. Voters picture them, young and old, giving up leisure time, tirelessly thumbing through phone books and re- peating information out of the goodness of their hearts, and the mere fact so many go to so much trouble is some testimony their candidate has merit. But the Tories now have peo- ple calling voters from a thou- sand kilometres away who have never set eyes on the candidate or riding. They know nothing about his or her record and policies except for a few brief notes handed them on a sheet of paper - and they are paid for doing it. The Tories under Mr. Eves and his predecessor, Mike Har- ris, have fallen far behind the Liberals in polls over the past three years and now seem also to have fallen so far behind in attracting volunteers they have to pay people in another province to do their calling. The Tories constantly say they are better at creating jobs in Ontario. If they have to hire people to canvass for votes, surely they should hire them so it provides jobs in Ontario, not a thousand kilometres away, or are they hiring far away hoping the news will never get out? The Tories, who receive huge donations from business, have ample funds to pay outsiders to keep the phones busy day and night. They tend to deride demon- strations that quickly come to- gether for left-wing causes as rent-a-crowd, although there is no evidence anyone is paid. Now, however, the Tories are re- sorting to rent-a-canvasser. This is not the only Tory tac- tic that seems contrived. Their caller made it clear they will campaign particularly on promises to make mortgage in- terest payments tax-deductible and ban teachers' strikes. But making mortgage inter- est tax-deductible was never discussed by Mr. Eves until it suddenly burst forth in his elec- tion platform. Banning teachers from strik- ing also was not contemplated by Mr. Eves and in recent com- ments he opposed a ban. This suggests these two poli- cies and some others he is promising were dreamed up solely because his surveys have shown they can win votes in an election and are just as con- trived and artificial as rent-a- canvasser. The Tories also presumably have people canvassing us from New Brunswick because costs there are lower - soon they may be seeking our votes from Tai- wan. For decades, Eric Dowd has been covering provincial poli- tics as a freelance columnist based out of Queen's Park.

EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ TONY DOYLE, EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 254 Letters to the Editor Divisive battle only hurt Tories Unite the right dead; new leader left vulnerable After a decade of misery, the federal Progressive Conservatives had a chance to do something right this past weekend. Unfortunately for the party and for Canadians hun- gry to find a right-wing alternative to the governing Liberals, the Tories stumbled and bumbled their way through a convention that leaves them weaker than when the weekend began. New leader Peter MacKay starts off crippled by in- fighting among his leadership rivals and by his deci- sion to cut an odious deal with rival David Orchard that would see the Tories review the free trade agree- ment. The irony is unmistakable: On the same week- end the party honoured the legacy of its most cele- brated (and reviled) leader of the past four decades, Brian Mulroney, it seemed to discredit Mr. Mulroney's self-proclaimed greatest achievement: a free trade deal with the United States. Imagine the political capital Paul Martin, the odds- on favourite to replace outgoing Prime Minister Jean Chretien, can make in a debate with Mr. MacKay over the Orchard agreement. Consider the constant criti- cisms the Liberals have faced from Tories over the past few years about the poor relationship the feds have had with the United States. How can the Tories look like anything but hypocrites when they are now going to do a full-scale review of the deal that most closely connects Canada and the United States, a deal which their own party won an election on and negoti- ated? The nasty four-ballot war also did nothing to bring the Tories an inch closer to uniting with the Canadian Alliance. Those members of the Alliance who were ob- servers at the Toronto convention left shaking their heads in confusion at how a party so low in the polls and with so few members of Parliament could be left so divided. The attempt by a number of Tory leader- ship contenders to play cute over a united right ap- proach to the next election will not build any bridges between the Conservatives and the Alliance. It all but ensures a split vote in ridings across the country that will allow the Liberals to, for the fourth election in a row, easily win the lion's share of the seats. Many hardly even knew the Tories were having a federal leadership race these past few months since, with the Iraq war, the SARS outbreak, and any other number of issues, the campaign flew way under the radar. The PCs had a chance to wind up their campaign on a high note with a fresh new leadership face and hope for the future. Their failure to do so leaves Canadians with little to look forward to in the next election.

They are two of several pieces made from the HMS Ajax teak held in the Ajax Archives. To ry tactics lead to doom TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: The Region of Durham may soon be doomed for the Tories as we witness the scandals and disasters created by three of the four Durham MPPs. The first was delivered by Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker, the minister of fi- nance, when her budget was broadcast from Magna. The second was the obscene gesture by Durham MPP John O’Toole who was caught ‘flip- ping the bird’ on camera. The third, although not as ap- parent, comes from the right- wing ideology of Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, minister of enterprise, opportunity and in- novation. ‘The Road Ahead’, the new Tory platform, contains many of the ideas Mr. Flaherty campaigned on last year in his bid for the party leadership and which were opposed by Ernie Eves. Some of these ideas in- clude: • Banning teacher strikes (Mr. Eves said last year that this would be unfair and costly); • Scooping the homeless off the streets (Mr. Eves thought this was inhumane); • Mortgage deductibility (Mr. Eves once said this was a ‘hallu- cinatory idea’); • More tax cuts (in his first six months as premier, Mr. Eves thought postponing tax cuts was the best move.) Now that Mr. Eves has post- poned the election indefinitely there are more questions than ever. One question that comes to mind based on the track records of Ms. Ecker, Mr. O’- Toole and Mr. Flaherty is: As Durham residents, do we want to have these three as our representatives in the Ontario legislature? If the answer is ‘yes’ I would suggest a change of name from the Region of Durham to the Region of Doom. CCyynnddiiee JJaaccoobbss UUxxbbrriiddggee Mayor's job shouldn't be ‘consolation prize’ TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Would the real Wayne Arthurs please stand up? Mr. Arthurs is running as the Liberal candi- date in the next provincial elec- tion while he’s still mayor of Pickering. In 1997, three days after he was elected as mayor once again, he ran for the position of regional chairman, even though during his re-election campaign he had professed his commit- ment to Pickering. He lost in that bid. Now he wants to seek this provincial seat while retaining his job as mayor. While it’s legal, would he be quiet if the shoe was on the other foot? Either he is committed to the City of Pickering or he isn’t. The mayor’s job shouldn’t be a con- solation prize nor should it be used for expediency. RR..LL..

While both facilities were op- erated by competent, hardwork- ing and thoughtful employees, the water supply plant was es- pecially reassuring. The tour of the water plant clearly indicated the water treatment processes, and the plant appeared to be operating to professional standards. The plant makes efficient use of technology along with manual and visual backup systems, and the staff was courteous and pro- fessional.

Boy’s persistence saves life, earns award Vincent Charlebois receives fire Safety Action Award AAJJAAXX ––––Vincent Charlebois is persistent and it saved a life. Now, he's being recognized for his efforts. The 11-year-old Ajax boy is one of 29 indi- viduals and organizations to receive a Fire Safety Action Award from the Fire Mar- shal's Public Fire Safety Council. Presented annually, the awards recognize outstand- ing contributions to fire protection and prevention in Ontario. On Oct. 5, 2002, Vincent was walking along Trescher Court in Ajax with his mother, Suzie Gougeon, and their dog, Al- addin. While passing a house, Vincent heard a smoke alarm coming from a home. His mother thought it was nothing and neighbours were reluctant to get involved, but Vincent insisted the fire department be called. "Others decided to let it go. I didn't. I kept going until the person was totally safe," he said. "I knew what to do." He knew because just the day before, while in school at the Wasdell Centre for In- novative Learning in Pickering, firefighters taught Vincent and his classmates about the 'Learn Not to Burn' program. Pickering firef ighters nominated him for the award. One thing clearly stuck in Vincent's mind and that was to call the fire department. "It's better for us to come and it be just a smoke alarm going off, than for us to not come and someone be injured or killed," Vincent said in quoting a firefighter. Ajax firefighters responded and found an unconscious man in his 50s lying on the couch. The man had fallen asleep while cooking and was overcome by carbon monoxide. He was revived by firefighters. Vincent said he's since spoken with the man and he's "very, very happy" for the boy's efforts. As for getting the award, Vincent said, "I'm really happy. It's a nice thing I have done." "Because of Vincent's quick thinking and his insistence on investigating the alarm, a life was saved," said Ontario Fire Marshal Bernard Moyle in a press release announc- ing Vincent's selection. "The fire safety les- son taught to this young boy by the fire de- partment certainly paid off. "Vincent is to be warmly congratulated as he is a credit to Ontario and an example for every one of us." The awards will be handed out June 18 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Vincent turns 12 on June 21. News Advertiser file photo When it comes to young heroes, young Vincent Charlebois certainly fits the bill. The Ajax resident is receiving a Fire Safety Action Award from the Ontario fire marshal’s office for his role in saving the life of a man trapped inside a burning home. Pickering firefighters, including Chief Bill Douglas, left, and Steve Fowlds, nominated him for the award. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Skip in their step PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG –––– The students at St. Anthony Daniel Catholic School in Pickering raised about $8,000 through their recent Jump Rope For Heart event. Among the students showing fancy footwork were clockwise from front, Tamara Hunt, Kyrene Fab- roa, Troy Francis and Kai-Lon Fok. Jason Carruthers honours his 'best friend' Marc Speed DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Jason Carruthers has a message for Marc Speed: "He will never get rid of me." And, for that, Mr. Speed is grateful. For six years, the pair has been matched as Big and Little Brothers. This year, with a nomination from Jason, Mr. Speed was named Big Brother of the Year by the Ajax-Picker- ing association. "He's a great kid. I've been with him six years. I think he enjoys it. I enjoy it. We both feed off each other," Mr. Speed said. In his nominating letter, Jason wrote, "I love my Big Brother, he is my best friend. He takes time off of his busy work time to make sure he sees me and spend time together. "Marc has been my Big Brother of six years now and I already told him he will never get rid of me. I think Marc should win the Big Brother of the Year Award because he's al- ways there when I need my best friend." Both are sports fans, with a particular affection for hockey, baseball, golf and tennis. "We make a great team together," Jason wrote. "We have so much in common, it's not funny." Mr. Speed, 42, heard Jason's comments during the ceremo- ny and found them "really touching. I had a tear in my eye. In a way, I was kind of sur- prised. "I guess the stuff you say is different on a page than what they say to you." In her nominating letter, Jason's mother Vicki stated, "I really don't know the process for picking a Big Brother for a little boy, what I do know is, they couldn't have picked a better Big Brother for Jason if they let me do it myself. "I think Marc is a great influ- ence on Jason because Jason knows he travels a lot for work and is very busy, but always makes the time for the two of them to have some fun. "J ason has never once come home with a complaint, if any- thing he seems to be happier and more content after his vis- its with Marc. They met when Jay was only six years old and he's basically grown up with Marc. With Jason being 12 now, it's not so much an adult and child friendship, I've been watching it grow over the years and it's becoming a more grownup, ma- ture friendship." To spend six years with Jason and to see him grow up has been quite the experience, Mr. Speed said. "They may have started off Big and Little Brothers, but like Jason said in his letter, Marc is his best friend. He looks up to Marc and re- spects him," Ms. Carruthers added. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 4, 2003 PAGE A11 A/P SAVE UP TO 85% OFF SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICES Kahn Auction Centre 2699 Brock Rd.

And, Jason Wiles is convinced that based on the calibre of the Ontario Blue Jays 18s coaches and the pro- gram, he’s halfway to his goal of play- ing and studying in the U.S. “I’m playing with the best kids in Ontario and I’m in one of the top pro- grams with great coaching — it’s up there. Every game we play, there are major league scouts there and college and university scouts are always call- ing,” said Wiles, 18, who’s finishing his OAC year at Pickering High School. Wiles received an invitation in Jan- uary to join the Blue Jays, an elite baseball program that has brought together 32 of the best 18-year-old players from across Ontario. So far, he has had discussions with five U.S. colleges about joining their programs in the fall. The most serious inquiry, however, has come from Alvin Com- munity College in Alvin, Texas, a cam- pus about 50 miles south of Houston. “The coaches have been in talks, but it’s still to be determined. I’m hoping to go (to the Texas junior col- lege) in the fall,” said Wiles, who plays under Blue Jays manager Dan Blei- was. “Our coaches have a reputation of producing the best players. It’s a difference in coaching (from those coaching) in the community. These coaches make it their jobs.” Previously playing midget and ju- nior ball in the Oshawa Legionnaires program after playing most of his minor ball with the Ajax Spartans Minor Baseball Association, Wiles took a big step up in terms of expec- tations and the calibre of play when joining the Ontario Blue Jays. As a hitter and catcher, the biggest adjustment was the calibre of the pitching, with the velocity and accu- racy increasing exponentially. “We’ve got guys who can bring it in the high 80s and low 90s,” said Wiles. “And, it’s a little different game hit- ting with the wooden bats. You have to be a little more selective at the plate.” The highlight of the year begins in mid-June when the Blue Jays strike out on a month-long tour of the U.S. that sees the team play games and tournaments in Ohio, Tennessee, Ok- lahoma, and wind up in Louisiana. The tournaments are of the elite, in- vitation-only variety, which means the Ontario squad will have its dia- mond skills severely tested. The tour ends in late July. Earlier this year, the Blue Jays travelled to Cocoa Beach, Florida over the March break where they played colleges and universities — in- cluding many NCAA Division 1 base- ball programs — from throughout the U.S. They posted a strong 10-5 record. “It was a great start to the season,” said Wiles. “It showed us what he had to improve on. We competed very well against Division 1 schools.” The team currently sports an envi- able 16-1 record while playing in an elite baseball league. Following the Blue Jays’ return from their U.S. so- journ, the club immediately begins the process of qualifying for the Con- nie Mack World Series in New Mexico later this summer. The club will first have to qualify at district and region- al tournaments in order to earn a spot at the World Series. “We have a great shot because we have a great team,” said Wiles. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 4, 2003 PAGE B1 P 905-655-9187 • Semi Private • Driving Range • Putting Green • Chipping Area LICENSED BY L.L.B.O. watsonsglen@rogers.com 3130 7th Concession Rd., Pickering Lakeridge Rd. 1 Km North of Hwy #7 NOW OPEN 18 Championship Holes, 7100 Yards, Par 72 Golf Course www.watsonsglen.com *Come See the Fastest Game on 2 Feet* SSppoorrttss &&RReeccrreeaattiioonn WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ AL RIVETT, SPORTS EDITOR 905-683-5110 EXT. 250 Flying high Local gymnasts are tops See page B2 www.magwyerspub.com Rodney’s Oyster Bar and Lobster Fest 2003 Call 905-426-8877SAT.

Seven-year-old Aidan Parker — who took up his clubs at age three after watching Woods on TV — placed third out of about 30 golfers in the Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) tour event at the Blue Springs Academy course in Acton. Parker scored a 36 on the par-27 course, regis- tering three pars and rim- ming out twice for birdies. Best of all, he finished three strokes back of win- ner Hanish Nagrani, the top-ranked player in Canada for the under- eight division. The weekend represent- ed Parker’s personal best score in his second year playing on the tour. He beat his previous best by a whopping 12 strokes. Coming up for Parker is the qualifier for the junior worlds at the Brant Valley Golf Club in St. George June 8. On the line is a chance to travel to San Diego. On June 15, Parker plays at the Conestoga Golf Club and will attempt to represent Canada for the under-eight category at the U.S. Kids Gold Wo rld Championship in Virginia. Parker said he’s a big fan of Canadian lefty, Mike Weir. His home course is Cherry Downs Golf Club.

Pickering (Rougemont Plaza) *REGULAR PRICE PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Success has been sweet for two members of the Picker- ing Aerials Gymnastics Club of late. Tara Swami and Melissa Downton both train at the club’s Kingston and Dixie roads facility: Swami in gym- nastics and Downton with the newly created trampoline team. Both gar- nered outstanding results while rep- resenting the club at two big meets. Swami, 12, took part in the East- ern Canadian Gymnastic Champi- onships in Halifax last month. The meet was the first-ever of its kind for provincial-stream gymnasts. Each province from Ontario east to the Maritime provinces sent four ath- letes in each category. Swami represented Ontario in the novice 3 division, helping the province to the team title in the com- petitive category. She finished fifth overall with individual gold medals on vault and floor exercise. Aerials’ head coach Glen Cooper noted this year’s Eastern Canadians was the first of what will be a yearly event. Organizers are hoping, in two or three years’ time, to host a na- tional championship for provincial- stream gymnasts. Meanwhile, Downton, 13, repre- sented the Aerials’ competitive trampoline team at the recent Provincial Trampoline and Tum- bling Championships in Oakville. Competing in the level 1 division, Downton captured the provincial title. “We’re proud of the fact that in our first year of having a competitive trampoline program we had an ath- lete come home as a provincial champion,” said Cooper. The Aerials’ trampoline team is coached by Allain Morin. NOTES: The Aerials hosted its an- nual Rainbow Classic meet at the Pickering Recreation Complex last weekend. More than 630 athletes from 25 gymnastics club competed at the highlight of the local gymnas- tics season. “It was a great meet; the biggest meet we’ve ever held,” said Cooper. The Aerials finish their competi- tive season with several gymnasts travelling to Vancouver to compete at the Galaxy Cup event this week- end. Other gymnasts represent the club at the Mariposa Invitational in Orillia.

Mind you, the Flames have played more games than anyone else in the Canadian Professional Soccer League's East Conference, but they'll welcome any good news they can get their feet on. Striker Jamoh Welch was the hero on Friday night, scoring twice as the Flames left London with a 3-2 win and a 1-1-0 record. Playing in front of a large home- town crowd, London opened the scoring in the 29th minute, but it was all-Flames from then on, as Welch tied the game and later fired what proved to be the winner.

The Pickering artist will be demon- strating how to create a watercolour landscape at Artfest on the Es- planade. Ms. Barker is one of six local artists demonstrating their talents under the PineRidge Arts Council tent be- hind City Hall at the free annual event. Having studied oriental brush painting in South Korea, Ms. Barker switched to watercolour upon coming to Canada 34 years ago. She’s self- taught. “They are very similar,” she said of the two styles. “They are both sim- plistic in design.” Since 1997, the City of Pickering and PineRidge have partnered to put on Artfest. Its appeal lies in its “laidback friendly environment”, said Marisa Carpino, Pickering’s supervisor of cul- ture and recreation. “It’s a celebration of the arts in Pickering and they are multifaceted, from visual arts to performing arts.” Visitors can stroll the park, enjoy- ing the works of more than 60 artists in an outdoor art show and sale. Paintings, photography, pottery, woodcarvings, handmade rugs, gar- ments and candles are just some of the items on display. Children can try their hand at cre- ating butterfly balancers, springtime mobiles, rhythm sticks, plaster hands, leaf stencils, paperweights, stained glass windows or pasta necklaces. Free children’s face painting and youth barrel painting are also popular spots. Look for live performances from the Pickering Community Con- cert Band, Kick Up A Fuss Cloggers, Eastside Harmony, Zahra’s School of Middle Eastern Dance, Denise Lester Dance Academy, Backwood Players, Neil the Magician and Edith Barit. Young artists, aged 7 to 11, can learn how to draw their own cartoons in the Pickering Public Library pro- gram room. “The arts are such a valuable part of the community, we just feel we want to bring art more out into the public,” said April Polak, PineRidge president. Usually held the last Saturday in May, Artfest was switched to the first Saturday in June last year because of unpredictable weather. It just so hap- pens the first Saturday in June this year puts Artfest the same weekend as the Frenchman’s Bay Festival. “We see it as a wonderful opportu- nity to float between both venues,” added Ms. Carpino.

Fiesta Week celebrates 30 years of multinational heritage BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––Thirty years of multi- culturalism will be celebrated June 15 to 21 as Fiesta Week transforms Oshawa into a cos- mopolitan city of shared her- itages. The diverse ethnicities of more than a dozen pavilions promise a variety of traditional entertain- ment, cuisine and hospitality be- ginning with the kick-off parade on Father's Day, Sunday, June 15. An initiative of the Oshawa Folk Arts Council, which serves residents throughout Durham Region, the an- nual event welcomes one and all. "We're quite ex- cited," says Maryanne Shol- dra, council president. "It's the 30th an- niversary of Fiesta and Fan- fare." ('Fanfare for Os- hawa' preceded Fies- ta in the early years of the weeklong festivi- ty). Mrs. Sholdra has been in- volved with the event since it started three decades ago. One other member, Russell Charter, shares the distinction of being an original organizer with contin- ued service. Appropriately, Mr. Charter is the archivist for the folk council, and is also committee first vice president and chairman of the parade. "Our work, primarily, is to pro- mote multiculturalism," he says. "When we started out with ethnic concerts and parades, we found there was a lot of appreciation from the community. Once we had Fiesta Week, it inspired us (to continue). It was quite excit- ing having all these pavilions. Like Caravan in Toronto, we knew it was big." (Caravan is considered the largest North American cultural festival. Started in 1960, it also offers the community a variety of pavilions to visit, which require a 'passport' to enter). "The first year, we came in rep- resenting our own organiza- tions," recalls Mrs. Sholdra of her and Mr. Charter's commitment to the local folk arts council. "By the second year we were on the executive." That was 1973, when Oshawa hosted the first Ontario Summer Games. Folk arts council orga- nizers decided to make the week leading up to the games some- thing to remember. And so the concerts, parades and festivals put on by the council over the years became Fanfare Week, fol- lowed the next year by Fiesta We ek. One person who sparked the early be- ginnings of Fiesta is the late Jo Ald- winkle. As president of the folk arts council through- out the 1960s, she dreamt of finding a way people could enjoy the multicul- tural richness of Oshawa. "How could it be done?' she was quoted as saying in the 1982 history, 'Oshawa Folk Arts Council - 1961- 1980' of the council. "Could for- mer enemies be brought togeth- er in mutual respect? Would the Anglo-Saxons remain aloof?" Mrs. Aldwinkle was on to something. In 1961 a Folk Festi- val for Mother's Day was one of the first such events to bring community ethnic groups to- gether anywhere. By 1967 and the country's cen- tennial, there were hundreds na- tion-wide. "... Fiesta has enriched my life and I shall never forget the good friends, past and present, who caught the torch I lit and are still bearing it aloft," read the past president's message in the book about the council.

Fiesta Week wraps up on Saturday, June 21 with a draw for a 'Fiesta' barbecue at the Roma Pavillion. Pavilions are open at varying times and on different days during Fiesta Week. Some require visitors to be of the age of majority. Fiesta parade kicks off action This year the Fiesta parade starts at 12:30 p.m. June 15 from Oshawa City Hall, follows Centre Street south to Gibb Street, turns west to Park Road, north on Park to King Street, and fi- nally east on King where it disperses. The two-hour and kilometres-long pro- cession will of course feature Miss Fies- ta and the pavilion queens, a military section, marching units and bands, and floats, floats and more floats. "There will be a few surprises, too," says Maryanne Sholdra, Oshawa Folks Arts Council president. "A rich, full con- cert in Memorial Park follows the pa- rade and all the (Fiesta) queens will be present." A beer garden and ethnic food booths to whet the appetites of those who'll visit the pavilions through- out the week will also be set up in the park. Beginning Monday, June 16 many of the pavilions will open, some at lunch time as well as in the evening, others during late afternoon and evening, while some will open mid-week. And just like the need to carry a valid pass- port when travelling to other countries, the special Fiesta document is re- quired to gain entry to the pavilions. Fi- esta passports cost $6 each for adults, $3 for seniors and children under 12 are admitted free. Passports are available for sale at the pavilions. You can visit www.fiestaweek.com for more information, including show times and events scheduled at each pavilion.
