The four-year-old was out for some fun with his family. New costs hammer board Mother on the mend Community donations help recovery following devastating Pickering fire BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ––––It's hard not to be in awe of Jeannie Maillet. Just three weeks out of hos- pital, the 31-year-old stood up in City council chambers Mon- day night, with the help of two walking canes, to accept a helping hand from the Picker- ing Lions Club and the Com- munity County Fund. And she managed to keep her composure through it all. L ions' secretary treasurer Anthony Bello heard about Ms. Maillet's plight like most of Pickering, in the news. Touched by her struggle to overcome the loss of her two young daughters, Briann, six, and two-year-old Kiara Charles, in a townhouse fire Jan. 18, Mr. Bello said his club felt the need to reach out to the young mother. "When it happened, we didn't know where the family was," he explained. "A neighbour actual- ly wrote the club at the time asking for assistance but by the time I called, their line was out of service." Then the group heard about 'In the Spirit of Community', an event last month dedicated to raising safety awareness and a fund-raiser for the Maillets. They managed to track the mother down through organiz- er Michelle Francis-Cleary. "Even though it's six months late, we still feel it's a deserving Inflation, construction prices on the rise for new facilities BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writers DDUURRHHAAMM ––––The cost of build- ing schools continues to rise. Durham District School Board trustees on Monday night approved the tender for a new Ajax school, known as the Unnamed Boddy elementary school. It will cost $8.3 million, $823,000 more than the esti- mate when approved by trustees in January 2002 as part of the board's second, sys- tem-wide accommodation and school improvement plan. "It seems to me almost all our projects in the second accom- modation plan have come in over," said Scugog Trustee Mar- tin Demmers. Indeed, all but two of the pro- jects tendered so far have come in over budget, and the plan is about $5 million in the red as a result. The original cost estimate was $89.5 million, and last sum- mer trustees approved the is- suing of an additional $4 mil- lion in debentures, for $70 mil- lion in total, to finance the plan. Business superintendent Ed Hodgins told trustees the board could carry the extra costs for the Ajax school, not- ing the money would come from capital reserves. Jack Massie, the board's fa- cilities superintendent, told trustees while construction costs are competitive, "they are high. "Talking to both the contrac- tors and our consultants, they're suggesting prices aren't stopping here," he said in an in- terview. "That's just inflation and cost escalation through (building) materials, which weren't con- sidered when we developed the budget." He referred trustees to com- ments from architect Robert Ferkul, who in a letter to the board noted that the cost-per- square foot of identical schools, approved 2 years apart, has in- ✦See Cost page 2 ✦See Community page 4 creased by $16.60. In a 45,000- square-foot elementary school, that translates to almost $750,000 more. Some projects in the plan have not yet been tendered, namely the planned new ele- mentary schools in Whitby and Brock Township, and additions to Valley Farm and Colonel J. E. Farewell public schools, in Pick- ering and Whitby, respectively. The building plan got off to a good start with the tendering of the addition to Alexander Gra- ham Bell Public School in Ajax: it came in $1.3 million under budget. The addition and upgrades to Uxbridge Secondary School is about $2.1 million over budget, if the cost to complete the new parking lot and walkways is in- cluded. Meanwhile, the new Whitby high school was tendered at $1.5 million above the projected cost.

Mark Joel, the Durham District School Board's opera- tions superin- tendent, on Wednesday said just three stu- dents and two staff members remained in quarantine. Late last week, the figure stood at 80. "Virtually everybody will be back by the end of the week," he said. "I doubt that we've heard the last of it, but I hope that we have." L ast Friday, the Durham Re- gion health de- partment re- moved Colonial Retirement Home in Whitby from the Whitby SARS investi- gation. That was good news for 27 students and one teacher from Palmer- ston Avenue Public School, who had been quarantined after visiting the facility on June 5. Their quarantine was to have ended last Sunday night. L ast Thurs- day, Mr. Joel said the board had been "inun- dated with calls" related to SARS quaran- tines. The fol- lowing day, he said it was "very quiet," and this week Mr. Joel said there are virtually no calls. "We're at the point now where it really appears to be under control," he said. ✦ Cost from page 1 www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 20, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P IT’S HERE!

N ort h Y ork Open H o u s e When children with at least average intellectual ability struggle to learn, even with adequate instruction, there is likely something in the way. They are processing information in a very different or inefficient way. If we are going to effectively impact academic learning, we must prepare the brain for learning by strengthening or developing the underlying cognitive processes that support academic skills. Cognitive-retraining based programs have been found to be highly successful in assisting students in improving their capacity to learn. Here are some symptoms of trouble spots that can impede academic growth. These are called learning dysfunctions. Dysfunction’s are the puzzles pieces that contribute to learning disorders. We all have them. They become problematic when there are several difficulties and a significant impediment to academic learning if there are 5-6 or more weak areas. The following are two sets of symptoms of a greater list of 19 dysfunctions which can profoundly affect capacity to learn: 1) Messy handwriting, misreading, irregular spelling, speech rambling, careless written errors in mathematics, poor written performance. 2) Reversals of ‘b’-’d’; ‘p’-’q’, difficulty reading a clock, needing to reread material to comprehend it, problem understanding cause and effect, trouble with mathematical reasoning. La Citadelle International Academy of Arts & Science is a bilingual private educational institution whose goal is to offer unique instructional and educational settings through which students learn and excel in both English and French within a modern and technologically advanced multidisciplinary world. The overall educational processes are geared to allow children to acquire considerable mastery knowledge and to develop profound critical thinking skills and attitudes that will be useful to them and beneficial to their prosperity in life.

The Harbour Report North America 2003, released Wednes- day, ranks GM Canada's Os- hawa car and truck plants among the most productive ve- hicle assembly plants in North America. GM Oshawa car plant number 1, also recently named the high- est quality assembly plant in Nor th and South America by J.D. Power and Associates, placed second overall in the an- nual productivity study. Meanwhile, Oshawa's number 2 car plant placed third overall and, while the Oshawa truck plant came in 11th place, it was the top full-size truck plant on the list. The only plant to finish in front of the Oshawa operation was Nissan's car plant in Smyr- na, Tennessee, which broke a Harbour Report record taking only 15.74 labour hours to build each Nissan Altima. The report says the Oshawa Number 1 plant, which finished f irst in 2002, takes 16.44 labour hours for the assembly of each Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo. The Oshawa Number 2 plant builds each Buick Century and Regal model in 17.08 hours and the truck plant's labour time is 20.41 hours for the production of each Silverado and Sierra full- size pickup truck. "With this recognition in the 2003 Harbour Report, GM is clearly demonstrating our com- mitment to produce the highest quality vehicles at the most effi- cient plants in North America," said GM Canada president Michael Grimaldi. "We are very pleased with the productivity and quality improvements we have made over the past num- ber of years. Even with our suc- cess in Harbour and J.D. Power, we will not rest on our accom- plishments. As we continue to implement and reap the bene- f its of GM's global manufactur- ing system, we plan to lead the industry in all measures."

Through Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson, the County Community Fund also donated $500 to the family. For- merly named the Russell John- son Fund, it was started in hon- our of Coun. Johnson's son, who died in a car crash in 1999 at the age of 18. The outpouring of support since the fire has been over- whelming, said Ms. Maillet, who now lives in Uxbridge with her 11-year-old daughter Shiann and nine-year-old son Jesse. Shiann broke both her heels jumping from a third-floor win- dow to escape the blaze, but was released from hospital about three weeks afterwards. Jesse was staying at a neigh- bour's house that night. Neigh- bours said he tried to go inside the townhouse for his two younger sisters but was turned back by the flames. "I didn't want to go back to the same area," Ms. Maillet said, of her former home at the Orchard Valley Court town- house complex on Kingston Road. People have donated furni- ture, helped her move and un- pack. They've also donated clothes to the children and even some of their playmates at school have given up their own toys for the family, Ms. Maillet said. "Stuff like that means some- thing," she added. "It's amazing all the things the community has done." Ms. Maillet, who escaped the f lames by jumping from a third- f loor window, is still taking physiotherapy three times a week for injuries suffered in the fall. She was discharged from St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital in Toronto just before the sec- ond outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) but had to be quarantined at home as a precaution.

"This is politics and nothing more," said Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Mark Holland, urging his col- leagues to take an official stand on the issue. "This is absolutely disas- trous for a municipality." Calling the referendum idea "silly" and "hair-brained", local councillors unanimously decided at the June 2 council meeting to urge the Tories to scrap that part of their proposal. "We would have to hold a referen- dum just to keep pace with infla- tion," said Coun. Holland. "No one is going to vote, yes, please give me a tax increase." Municipalities are further con- strained by the provincial referen- dum act, which allows a referendum to be upheld only if 51 per cent of all eligible voters take part, said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Bren- ner. Pickering usually sees voter turnouts of around 20 to 30 per cent. He questioned why the Province didn't hold a referendum for such important issues like the sale of Hwy. 407, the deregulation of hydro, and the variety of services it has since downloaded to municipalities in recent years. "How come when the Province is- sued a minister's order on Pickering, it did so without a referendum?" he asked. "I challenge the Province of Ontario: Are they prepared to oper- ate under the same rules? "Maybe if they did the same, we wouldn't be in this position." He added Pickering won't see a zero per cent rate increase for some time. Based on 2003 election costs and population figures, City staff has es- timated a referendum could cost Pickering as much as $235,000 -- about a one per cent tax increase in itself.

SUITE 205 TORONTO, ON M1B 3W3 SCARBOROUGH LOCATION Pickering votes down referendum idea But also says not guilty on two other charges SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––An 18-year-old who fired a sawed-off rifle into a crowd- ed lobby at Pickering High School during lunch-hour last year has pleaded guilty to possessing a pro- hibited weapon. The young offender, 16 at the time of the shooting, entered the guilty plea before Judge Donald Halikows- ki prior to the start of his trial in Oshawa youth court yesterday. The teen, who was arraigned on three counts, has pleaded not guilty to pointing a firearm and possess- ing a weapon to commit an in- dictable offence. The charges stem from a Jan. 11, 2002 incident in which a single shot was fired from a .22-calibre rifle in the Ajax school just before 1 p.m. Prosecutor Alex Hope said it is admitted as fact the teen fired the shot and that bullet fragments lodged in the metal frame of the front doorway. Durham Regional Police later re- covered the weapon during a search of the youth's residence, said Mr. Hope. Gun powder residue was found on the teen's hands and clothing, court also heard. Mr. Hope said the central issue in the trial is the circumstances sur- rounding the shooting, in which no one was injured. Defence counsel Reid Rusonic is arguing the teen acted in self-de- fence. At the time police had said a group of students had confronted the accused just prior to the lunch- hour gunplay. The youth fled the Church Street Nor th school and was later arrest- ed. Mr. Hope said eight witnesses will be called by the Crown, five of them civilians, during the trial, which is expected to take several days. The teenager, who is charged under the old Young Offenders Act, cannot be identified. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 20, 2003 PAGE 5 P Pickering Volkswagen Inc.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 20, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Back to running Pickering City politicians delivering for citizens, with a few exceptions What a difference a year makes. Rewind back to 2002 and Pickering politics was dominated by lawsuits, calls for resignations and general upheaval. But, with the lawsuits and countersuits between the City of Pickering, Township of Uxbridge and Regional Councillor Rick Johnson now settled thanks to a deal between all sides over clearcutting near the councillor's north Pickering proper- ty, council for the most part has returned to the business of running the city. In fact, as the News Advertiser's annual report card has found, the seven-member unit is doing a solid job. Mayor Wayne Arthurs continues to lend his steady leader- ship to the city and informed views at the Region, while not wavering on core issues such as the Duffin-Rouge Agricultur- al Preserve. More and more over the last few months, howev- er, he's blurring the line between his job as mayor and his can- didacy for the Liberal Party in the next provincial election. With an Ontario election likely not coming at least until the fall, and not having to be called until next June if the Tories so decide, it's time for the mayor to return 100 per cent of his focus to the city. In the regional council seats, Maurice Brenner, Mark Hol- land and Coun. Johnson have continued to lend their experi- ence and viewpoints on key local and Durham-wide issues such as waste management, funding for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital capital expansion, and affordable housing. On the local level, Dave Ryan, Bill McLean and David Pick- les regularly push ward-specific agendas, getting the results they desire. Cases in point have been the continued develop- ment of the waterfront, changes to the operations at Pickering Ajax Whitby Animal Control, and ongoing vigilance regarding any potential future airport, respectively. Leading the region, Roger Anderson consistently pushes Durham, Durham, and Durham. The regional chairman has been effective in delivering a core message on a number of key fronts, including ITER and the need for Hwy. 407 expansion across the region. While our municipal politicians are certainly working to- gether as a cohesive unit, the same can't be said for the divi- sive Durham District School Board and the Pickering trustees. Paul Crawford continues to impede board progress on important education issues, while Jennifer Bridge -- when she attends meetings -- rarely shows the promise she held early in the term. Clearly city voters must choose a new direc- tion for our decision makers on the public school board. Things couldn't be more different at the Catholic board where Pickering continues to be guided by the steady and competent duo of Jim McCafferty and Fran Periera. Ta ken as a collective group, Pickering's elected representa- tives have offered sturdy leadership over the last year. As No- vember municipal election draws nearer, however, residents hold the final say. It’s too late for homes TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: 'So much history to be told,' May 21. So, homes on the airport site are derelict and mould infested. Whose fault is this? If garbage is piled up, the grass isn't cut, and cars or junk are al- lowed to accumulate, wouldn't you be suspicious that the property was being neglected? If you owned a property being leased out, would you want it to sit empty for more than a year and ex- pect it to be habitable? Razed houses in our neighbourhood are giving us a funny feeling about the past and our fu- ture. In the last four or five years more work has been done with some of the on-site properties than in the previous 25. For a lengthy period, the only re- sponse to our requests for help was, "That's the tenant's responsibility". It was an awful answer to some of us who try to be responsible. It's hard knowing you are doing work for someone else's benefit. If you who live in the southern part of Pickering or Ajax and have no idea what lies north of Hwy. 407, drive north and/or west of the Brock Road/Hwy. 7 intersection. There are people there, fewer and fewer houses and almost no barns. The fire hall in Brougham closed, and if a new one is built it will be several miles to the west, immediately south of where the airport is going to be built. Preparation to build an airport? "Oh, no, no, it hasn't been decided yet". Huh? The Pickering Historical Society is to be commended for trying to save some of the buildings. But it's too late for the tin house on Brougham Road. It may have been old but it's not likely there are many more left like that one.

Evolution under attack Afew years ago, we all remem- ber how the media mocked the former leader of the Canadian Alliance Party, Stockwell Day, for his anti-evolutionary views. However, since that time a fast- growing number of North Ameri- cans, religious and non-religious alike, are starting to seriously ques- tion the theory of evolution. Most notably, leading American microbiologist Michael Behe star- tled the scientific world when he published his best selling book, 'Darwin's Black Box'. At first, critics sneered at the author as being a Christian fundamentalist - a radi- cal. He was, at the most, a nominal Catholic at the time. 'The New York Times' book review called his work "a major development in the origins debate". Dr. Behe's book quotes the- ory of evolution founder Charles Darwin as saying, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not pos- sibly have been formed by numer- ous, successive, slight modifica- tions, my theory would absolutely break down." In Dr. Darwin's time, cells could not be examined by high-powered microscopes. However, now, scien- tists like Dr. Behe have discovered that a cell’s chances of evolving or even surviving successive, slight modifications are extremely re- mote. The simplest cell is so com- plex and its DNA packed with so much information that it appears to have an intelligent design. The DNA code has been likened to bina- ry code in a computer program. No one would ever doubt if they saw ancient hieroglyphics in rock that they were carved by an intelligent being. They weren't just a product of random chance. Yet our students are still being told that the first cell and, yes we ourselves - incredibly complex beings - are products of random chance. There is a growing movement of over 100 well-respected scientists and philosophers who believe in 'In- telligent Design'. And yes, it is a be- lief. But so is evolution. It takes just as much faith to believe that billions of years plus random chance creat- ed us as it does that an intelligent Creator did. The scientific odds of even one left-sided amino acid forming by chance is 10 to the 123rd power: 1 chance in 10 followed by 123 zeros. And we think Stockwell Day's belief system is irrational! Why are we so afraid to admit there might be a supernatural ori- gin to our lives? Why do we ridicule with so much fury those who hold these views? Maybe it's because holding those views might make us accountable to our Creator.

Catholic school board honours 25 years of employee service Pickering resident offers inspiration for kids in legal system BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ––––Following your dreams can take you places you never imagined possible. That was the message former boxer and now radio show host Chuck 'Spider' Jones delivered, like a knockout punch, We dnesday afternoon at the Durham Family Court Clinic (DFCC) annual gen- eral meeting. "Education is very im- portant. Anyone who tells you it's not, they're the damn fools, not you," he told a room full of DFCC members, youth clients and sponsors. "Your weapon is this," added Mr. Jones, pointing to his head. Years ago, the one-time gang member said he never dreamed he'd have his own radio show on CFRB today or be co-host- ing a boxing TV show on ESPN with George Chuva- lo. Mr. Jones, a three-time former Golden Glove Champion, was inducted into the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996. Most recently, the Pickering resi- dent was named the On- tario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities' first ambassador to pro- mote skilled trades to high school students. "His personal story speaks directly to our youth," DFCC board mem- ber Jim Bradfield said in his introduction of Mr. Jones. "Its themes parallel both our agency's work and our youths' struggle." DFCC is a local non- profit charitable communi- ty service agency serving needs of children, youth and families before the courts in Durham Region. One of 11 kids, Mr. Jones spoke about his childhood, spent growing up in a small, cold house his grandfather built in Wind- sor, where six slept to a bed. At the age of five, he lost his 18-month-old brother to an illness. It was a day, he said, that changed his life "complete- ly". Aw akened by his moth- er's screams and watching his father weep for the first time, Mr. Jones began hav- ing nightmares. Unable to sleep, he often slept in school, where he was often teased and bullied. In Grade 3, Mr. Jones was diagnosed with a se- vere learning disability and began stealing the lunches from his classmates be- cause he never ate at home. "I started rebelling against my parents, big- time," he said. "I used to hate being in that house. I hated school. I didn't know where I was going." He began hanging out on street corners with his cousin, who was vice-presi- dent of a youth gang, until eventually he was breaking into homes and sent to a detention centre. His par- ents sent him to Detroit to live with his aunt but he continued to be in gangs there. "I lost my first cousin and closest friend. He was shot in the head over a girl," Mr. Jones said. After wasting six years in jail, Mr. Jones did "Joe jobs" and later moved to Toron- to. At age 28, he met his wife, who inspired him to follow his dream of being a DJ and going back to school. With only a Grade 3-level education behind him, enrolling in Seneca College's radio and televi- sion program was more frightening than all of his 80 amateur boxing match- es, he said. "I left Seneca an honour student," Mr. Jones said, proudly. Today, through the DFCC, Jason and Gilbert (not their real names) are both attending DFCC's col- laborative day treatment program, which is prepar- ing them for reintegration into high school. After only two-and-a- half months in the pro- gram, Jason said he has a new-found admiration for teachers. "There's less stress be- cause there's only seven of us in the classroom and you get all the attention you need," he explained. Youth are referred to the program through their probation officers or com- munity service workers and learn different strate- gies for dealing with pres- sures at school and in their lives, said program manag- er Karen Augustine. "(Length of stay) de- pends on who the youth is," she added. "Some are with the program for three years. It's all about how ready they are." Gilbert, who has been in the program since Novem- ber, said he's learned to re- spect others. "For people with prob- lems like me, it's really helped out because there is also anger management," he pointed out. For information about DFCC, visit www.dfcc.org or contact 905-436-6754.

The clean delivery of good drinking water continues to be a challenge, especially with the latest regula- tions and changes from the Province due to the Walkerton inquiry. Taxation is an ongoing battle as more downloading from the Province is put on the backs of the property taxpayer.

IImmppoorrttaanntt iissssuueess:: The most pressing is- sues are interrelated: growth, the provision of infrastructure and services and cost management. The Province has frozen the planned Brock Road corridor mixed-use development. Pickering must be allowed to develop a controlled growth strategy that achieves a favourable balance be- tween residential and commercial/indus- trial taxes. The need for new and expand- ed services combined with an aging infra- structure is exerting upward pressure on City taxes. Pickering needs its fair share of infrastructure support from its 20 per cent of the regional taxes paid by Pickering res- idents. The provincial and federal govern- ments need to assist with the funding of transportation and providing new sources of revenues to municipalities. NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr''ss ccoommmmeennttss::Coun. Ryan is a behind-the-scenes, low-key member but perhaps one of Pickering's most outspoken provincial critics.

Pickles has brought forward some good motions this year on behalf of his con- stituents, including a fill bylaw, a call for a peer review of the financial case for a fu- ture airport (even though the Greater To r onto Airports Authority says it won't take part). His attention to detail is help- ful at the board table. Coun. Pickles has also demonstrated he represents his con- stituents' interests, even if it sometimes means voting against his better judgment, as in the case of the Kinsale auto wreckers earlier this year. ✦ Expenses are for 2002. ✦ Attendance is from June 2002 to May 2003.

NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr''ss ccoommmmeennttss:: Mr. An- derson has put a lot of effort into bringing the $12-billion ITER energy research facili- ty to Durham. He has spearheaded the an- nual Chairman's Charity Classic Golf Tournament, which raised $305,000 this year and more than $1.2 million in total for local organizations such as Junior Achievement and Durham College/UOIT. On the road marketing the region, the chairman doesn't consider himself above pitching in for the team effort where nec- essary, whether it's helping set up the dis- play booth or spending time manning it. He's not afraid to work a room on Durham's behalf. The chairman is a strong personality who will butt heads with coun- cil members or his provincial counterparts when he is fighting for a particular out- come. He sometimes plays a bit fast and loose with facts to push things his way and sometimes bypasses accepted decorum both inside and outside the council cham- ber. The chairman is generally a valuable voice in regional debate and, when the chips are down, can usually be counted on to do what is best for Durham.

NNeewwss AAddvveerrttiisseerr''ss ccoommmmeennttss:: Mr. Ob- fuscation can make the simple complex and the complex more so. In comments before the vote for board chairman, for which he was nominated, described what a Crawford-led board would look like: "The board room is not the place to have open debates," he said, recommending instead informal meetings of trustees to act as a sounding board where differences could be worked out. "Bring lots of motions for- ward, take over the agenda," he urged his colleagues. Never mind what the real is- sues of the day are - and that the first part of the term was marked by some trustees bringing inappropriate matters to the board for discussion, wasting considerable time. Often focuses on the unimportant, such as his obsession with how meeting minutes are recorded.

The tedious disputes among trustees during the early part of the term seem to have soured her. It's a shame, since Trustee Bridge appears bright and could be a good trustee, despite her youth. Chided trustees who continued to ques- tion the Wellness Centre at G.L Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute, point- ing out that the board's only consideration should be whether or not it would provide space for the clinic. ✦ For complete Report Cards on public board trustees from other Durham municipalities see our Web site at durhamregion.com KKaatthhlleeeenn HHooppppeerr OOsshhaawwaa TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: AA Last year: A SSuussaann SShheettlleerr OOsshhaawwaa TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: FF Last year: D- CCyynntthhiiaa SStteeffffeenn OOsshhaawwaa TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: FF Last year: D DDoouugg RRoossss WWhhiittbbyy TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: AA Last year: A EElliizzaabbeetthh RRooyy WWhhiittbbyy TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: AA Last year: B MMaarriillyynn CCrraawwffoorrdd AAjjaaxx TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: BB Last year: B- MMeelliinnddaa CCrraawwffoorrdd AAjjaaxx TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: DD-- Last year: D- MMaarrttiinn DDeemmmmeerrss SSccuuggoogg TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: FF Last year: F NNaannccyy LLoorraaiinnee UUxxbbrriiddggee//BBrroocckk TThhiiss yyeeaarr:: AA Last year: A DDuurrhhaamm CCaatthhoolliicc DDiissttrriicctt SScchhooooll BBooaarrdd -- PPiicckkeerriinngg TTrruusstteeeess ✦Attendance is for 2002, when 27 board meetings were held. ✦Trustee expenses are for the 2002 year and include mileage and conferences charged on both the individual trustee and 'board sent' account. ✦Committee membership may include both school board and other education- related positions. ✦Summaries of the 'important issues' are based on submissions from trustees.

IImmppoorrttaanntt iissssuueess:: Many of the funding shortages from previous years continue to challenge trustees. Recent funding an- nouncements still do not allow for ade- quate funding in many budget areas, espe- cially special education, transportation, heating and electricity costs. Also, most student computers are outdated and need considerable upgrades to run current soft- ware. We will continue to work with our provincial association, OCSTA, to lobby the government for the funding improve- ments recommended in the Rozanski re- port on student-focused funding.

Recently signalled that Pickering ratepayers would be none too pleased if school bell times were changed again as a result of the pro- posed transportation merger with the Durham public board. Pickering residents already went through that a few years back. Questioned if the Grade 10 literacy test was worth the money spent to admin- ister it. Trustee Pereira says the new Grade 10 literacy course is a better option for students because, unlike the test, it of- fers them a chance to learn what they're missing.

Four Ajax High School students in Tara Moore's Grade 11 anthropology class are trying to help en- force 'Holly's Law' in mem- ory of the 10-year-old To ronto girl who was bru- tally murdered recently. It all began when Sema Senca received an e-mail concerning the murder and calling for stricter laws for convicted sex offenders. Sema presented the e-mail to peer Danielle Barbeau who then joined forces with other students, Stephanie Marple and Subria Lapps. The stu- dents approached Ms. Moore, afterwards pre- senting the petition idea to John Morrison, vice-princi- pal and head of the culture of peace committee at the school, and principal Shirley Smith. "The administration ac- tually wanted us to do something," Sema said. The group proceeded to design posters with the help of Mr. Morrison and teacher LeRoy Crooks, which align the school halls, encouraging 'Holly's Law'. According to the www.hollyslaw.ca Web site, "Holly's Law would require sexual offenders convicted of crimes against children to undergo a 'dangerous of- fender' evaluation before becoming eligible for re- lease. It would also man- date that treatment -- which is not currently available to all sex offend- ers -- be made available to inmates." No charges have been laid in Holly's death, how- ever, it has raised issues about sex offenders living in the community. The hope is to raise awareness of the issues, said Danielle. "Even if it doesn't go to- wards Holly's sake, it can go to other children's sake," Sema added. Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo From left, Danielle Barbeau, Sema Senca, Stephanie Marple and Subria Lapps teamed up recently to rally support for ‘Holly’s Law’, in memory of young Holly Jones. Students sign on to support Holly Moraine act ties the hands of businesses looking to grow BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer CCLLAARREEMMOONNTT ---- The folks at Country Depot were hoping to tear down walls, not run headlong into one. But that's what new provincial legislation pro- tecting the Oak Ridges Moraine has meant for plans to expand the long- standing community store, said its planning consultant Peter Barton, of Avtech Designs. "Basically, the legisla- tion says you can't touch a building (on the moraine). You have to let it rot there," he said. "There's no exemption or right of ap- peal." Owner John Laider wants to add another 2,500 square feet to his 3,000-sq.-ft. store. The ex- pansion would allow him to make up some of the 25 to 35 per cent of retail space he lost when Coun- try Depot was awarded a liquor store outlet fran- chise by the Ontario L iquor Control Board a few years ago. Outside storage would be brought in and a beer cooler constructed, said Mr. Barton. But the work requires owners to apply for a new site plan, a process that triggers the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act because of the store's location. "It acts as a huge um- brella that takes prece- dent over everything else," said Mr. Barton. "It's legis- lation that is difficult to understand and requires ecological studies and en- g ineers." Those studies would have cost Mr. Laider $8,000 to $10,000 to com- plete, he said. Further roadblocks in- cluded a stream to the north of the property. Under the Act, a mini- mum setback is required for all such "heritage fea- tures". That setback en- compasses the store prop- erty entirely, said Mr. Bar- ton. While not disputing the intent of the act, the plan- ning consultant said he and his client feel there should be some mecha- nism to work out minor adjustments to existing structures on the moraine. "There are John Laiders all over the place," said Mr. Barton. Faced with a growing number of similar con- cerns, Pickering council recently approved a mo- tion calling on the Province to infuse the new act with more flexibility. "Council unanimously supported the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and its intent, but I think quite often in the zest of things we some- times forget about the need for some exemp- tions," said Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. The interpretation of the law right now is very "black and white", he said. Wa rd 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner added he had heard of a number of real estate deals jeopardized in Claremont because of the inability to make minor al- terations to existing prop- erties. "We're not talking about development. We're talk- ing about people who have lived there for years wanting to make some changes to their proper- ty," he said. Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing offi- cials toured areas of the moraine in Uxbridge re- cently to get a sense of some of the issues facing landowners on the moraine, said local MP Janet Ecker. While the act was a "good first step" in safe- guarding environmentally sensitive land along the moraine, she agreed there is a need to seek clearer guidelines for local prop- erty owners. "There was no intent on the legislation's part to prevent homeowners the right to enjoy their prop- erties," she said, adding her office is also working with the ministry to "sort out the best way to deal" with commercial opera- tions on the moraine.

Public board spending more BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––This year's bud- get process was no sweat. The Durham District School Board passed its 2003/04 bud- get Monday night with no de- bate. Instead, trustees praised staff for their efforts and re- marked how smooth the process was this year. "This was probably one of the nicest budgets to work with," said Whitby Trustee Doug Ross, the board's educa- tion finance committee chair- man, noting there was not the typical struggle to avoid cuts due to a lack of provincial funding. "I think we really solidified our special-education pro- gram," he added. "I think our staff did a yeoman's task, a great job making sure some of our most needy programs are looked after. It was such a treat to work with a budget that met the needs of students and our schools and our em- ployees." Reflecting government funding increases following the Rozanski report in De- cember, the board expects to receive an extra $36.2 million in operating and $7.2 million in capital grants next year. The $465.3 million operating bud- get, business superintendent Ed Hodgins's first in Durham, is balanced to the dollar and represents an 8.4 per cent in- crease over last year. The budget includes 103 more educational assistants, including 82 at the elementary level, which is also in line for 5.5 more area special-educa- tion teachers and 21 more spe- cial-education resource teach- ers. Forty of those EAs were hired in January. The system needs once stu- dents return in September, however, might result in changes to those numbers, said Mr. Hodgins. "It is a good budget; I know it's a good budget because our budget meetings were 45 min- utes long," quipped Ajax Wa rds 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford, noting there was "so little conflict" involved in ap- proving the budget. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers noted that "pres- sure from some of our employ- ee groups and perhaps some GTA pressure" resulted in higher raises for board em- ployee groups, beyond what the Province provided. He said the no-fuss budget process was due to the provincial gov- ernment's funding increases, adding "we benefited hand- somely from Rozanski." Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper sounded a cautionary note, saying the extra money this year "doesn't really... offset the cuts that have been made in the last 10 years or so." She said the board's special-educa- tion program and other sup- ports for students are still not what they were. "The kind of help we had for kids five and 10 years ago, it's just not there," said Trustee Hopper. She believes the Province is "throwing money at every- thing" as it prepares for an election because "they don't want complaints from the school communities." The gov- ernment can't both cut taxes further and increase school funding, she said, predicting, "down the road there's proba- bly more cuts coming." Trustees became confused when asked to deal with Brock-Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine's motion re- garding special-education funding. In setting last year's budget, the board allotted $3 million in reserves to subsidize provincial funding. When the Province increased special-ed- ucation funding and the board received $5.5 million in Janu- ary, the board stated it would put $3 million back into re- serves, which was the basis for the motion. The board's spe- cial-education advisory com- mittee had asked that all of that money go to special edu- cation. Mr. Hodgins in an interview explained that because the board received funding mid- year, the $3 million in reserves was not required. He made it clear the motion only applied to the 2002/03 budget. Howev- er, some trustees thought it meant the special education program would no longer be supported with reserves if the need arose. Trustees voted to eliminate a line from Trustee Loraine's motion, stating special educa- tion funding would not be sup- ported with working reserves this year. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, June 20, 2003 PAGE 19 A/P BRAKES • TUNE-UP • EXHAUST • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENTS • OIL CHANGE • CERTIFICATIONS • SHOCK STRUTS • COOLING SYSTEM • AIR CONDITIONING • FREE 24 HR Roadside Assistance (Anywhere in North America) • FREE Lifetime Tire Rotations • FREE Brake, Shock, & Exhaust Inspection The TIRE EXPERTS Offer You: • Selection of Name Brand Tires • Expert Advice • Professional Service & Installations PRICE PROTECTION SATISFACTION GUARANTEE! 30 DAY + An official mark of the province of Ontario used under licence The Tire Experts There’s No Better Place To Buy Your Tires & Service Your Vehicle g-FORCE T/A KD, KDW, KDWS Maximum Performance g-FORCE T/A KDW NT Ultra High Performance SCORCHER T/A Ultra High Performance COMP T/A HR4,VR4 High Performance TOURING T/A HR4,VR4 Touring Performance RADIAL T/A Classic Performance PILOT SPORT Maximum Performance PILOT SPORT A/S Ultra High Performance PILOT XGTV4 Ultra High Performance PILOT EXALTO High Performance PILOT XGTH4 High Performance PILOT PRIMACY Touring Performance PERFORMANCE TIRE HEADQUARTERS CALL OUR TIRE EXPERTS TODAY & SAVE! 31 Locations www.activegreenross.com • FREE 24 HR Roadside Assistance (Anywhere in North America) • FREE Lifetime Tire Rotations • FREE Brake, Shock, & Exhaust Inspection The TIRE EXPERTS Offer You: • Selection of Name Brand Tires • Expert Advice • Professional Service & Installations PRICE PROTECTION SATISFACTION GUARANTEE! 30 DAY + An official mark of the province of Ontario used under licence ypp *Save up to $60 off a set of 4 Michelin X-One Tires and Cross Terrain SUV Tires, $40 off a set of 4 (Instant Rebate) Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring HR, $60 off a set of 4 Tiger Paw AS65, $80 off a set of 4 (Instant Rebate) Uniroyal Laredo A/S Light Truck Tires during our June sales event June 13 to June 30, 2003.

Each year, the government re- quires education stakeholders at schools to rate their facilities for cleanliness, the general condition of the school and grounds, comfort, ac- cess, and the state of partnerships among various groups. Principals, teachers, non-teaching staff, stu- dents and school councils are invited to take part. The Durham Catholic District School Board's overall rating was 3.04 last year and 2.97 in 2000/01. Ten per cent of the schools were rated "excellent," compared to 5.4 per cent across the province. Eighty-four per cent of the schools were deemed 'good' and six per cent satisfactory. All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby received the highest rating, 3.76. Oshawa's St. Joseph Catholic School was rated the lowest at 1.80. St. Joseph was recently iden- tified by the Province as one of sever- al schools in Ontario where the cost to upgrade the facility was deemed too high. The board had already planned to rebuild the school and re- ceived about $3 million from the re- newal program. NE032F103 © 2003. Sears Canada Inc.NE032G103 © 2003. Sears Canada Inc.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, June 20, 2003 PAGE 27 A/P BByy JJaannee MMccDDoonnaalldd Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––A provincewide pilot project designed to bring aware- ness and money to help those suffering with asth- ma, has one Oshawa school buzzing with excitement. The children and teach- ers at Beau Valley Public School laced up their sneakers and ran for an hour June 17 to raise money for lung research. They are the first school in Ontario to participate in a new program the Lung As- sociation calls 'Laps for Lungs.' "I am a sufferer myself," says vice-principal David Royle. "I have to carry a puffer with me. I've lived with it and am able to cope." 'Laps for Lungs' is a brand new event which en- courages physical activity and provides education and awareness about asth- ma. All money raised from this pledged event will be used to help support med- ical research and commu- nity health education pro- grams sponsored by the Lung Association. Nobody has to raise the awareness of Christopher Lovell, his family, friends, teachers and fellow stu- dents. The 12-year-old Grade 7 pupil spoke to fel- low students about his ex- perience with asthma and how it has affected him. He is not the only child at Beau Valley Public School who has asthma. When asked recently how many have asthma or know someone with asthma, two- thirds of the student body lifted their hands, demon- strating that the leading cause of school absences and admissions to hospi- tals among children in On- tario is directly attributed to asthma. "This event is good," said Christopher just before the junior grades took to the school track to do their laps. "I've had asthma since I was about seven and a lot of people in my class have asthma." Christopher is quiet yet shows an inner strength when he says he's been able to accept that he has a breathing problem. But there's also another side of the coin for him. "I think probably I could play more sports in the summer when there's pollen and stuff," he says. Mr. Royle can relate to that. "I couldn't play the soccer that I liked," he says. "When I heard about this program I knew it was real- ly important to me to raise awareness. This is really important. "I tell the students there is no shame to have asth- ma," continues Mr. Royle. "I tell them they can over- come things like Terry Fox overcame his handicap (to become a marathon run- ner). We can carry on and do things." Beau Valley's 'Laps for Lungs' event is what one organizer describes as the "pilot of the pilot." Under the leadership of Beau Val- ley's music director, the Grade 5 class created and performed a theme song for 'Laps for Lungs.' The Lung Association was so impressed it is hoping Beau Valley will allow it to use it as its theme song. "They just taped the song this morning," said Lynn Hendrick, Regional Outreach Co-ordinator for the Lung Association and an organizer of the event. "Their theme song 'Laps for Lungs' is going provincewide." More than 2.5 million Canadians have asthma and the number of newly- diagnosed cases is rising. If not managed properly, asthma can be fatal. The Lung Association provides information and funding for research to im- prove lung health. For further information on asthma, call the Asthma Action Helpline at 1-800- 668-7682.

TTrraavveell FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ TONY DOYLE, MANAGING EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 254 Get more from your vacation Ta ke steps to a great family trip Maps, games and a chance to rest go a long way to keeping everyone happy Picture it - your minivan is stopped at a rest area. Your partner sits at the wheel while you are buried under a mess of unfolded maps. You feel tense as you debate di- rections while your jumpy kids in the back seat are spreading chocolate over each other. Ah, the joys of a family vacation. Don't despair, not every trip has to be like that. By making plans in advance, you can help ease tensions on the trip and turn it into a family adventure filled with wonder- ful memories for everyone. Before getting started, con- sider these quick travel tips. WWhheerree aarree wwee?? Try to map out your trip in advance or at least be pre- pared with a road atlas in the car. Michelin's 2003 North America Road Atlas is spiral bound and compact, which means it lies flat for easier navigating and folds over easily so it can be tucked away in the glove compart- ment. A great innovation is that maps are organized by geographic region, not by the alphabet... according to the way you actually drive. AArree wwee tthheerree yyeett?? Let your children also have their own map so they can follow along with you. Use a road atlas to teach your chil- dren how to use maps and help them learn to answer that gnawing question, "Are we there yet?" Make a game out of it and try to see who can calculate the distance the fastest. II hhaavvee ttoo ggoo!! Plan exciting pit stops along the way to give every- one a chance to stretch their legs and use a restroom. Choose interesting locations and tourist attractions such as the world's largest coffee pot in Saskatchewan, mag- netic hill in New Brunswick or a haunted lighthouse in Ontario. Make these stops part of the fond memories of your family trip. II''mm bboorreedd!! Entertaining car-based ac- tivities for the kids will help make the journey more pleasant for everyone. There are a variety of great games available in compact sizes, which use magnets to ensure pieces stay on the board. Other options include read- ing out loud, singing, or lis- tening to audio books. Con- sider the classic games of 'I Spy', a scavenger hunt or even counting cows, horses and other unique items you identify. II''mm hhuunnggrryy!! To avoid grumbling stom- achs keep some snacks handy such as fruit, granola bars or juice boxes to keep everyone satisfied while you search for the next rest stop. Spending time together on a road trip is a great way to have quality time with your family. Don't let it ruin your trip. Instead make it part of the adventure and the won- derful memories. Not only will some advance planning make your trip a lot more pleasant, it may keep every- one talking to one another. ---- NNeewwss CCaannaaddaa Trips can make a difference in others' lives Yo u've had your last 'Is that all there is' vacation. After all the work, plan- ning, money, arrangements and maybe even family feuds, you finally did the big holiday. But then, it was all over, you came home with bags of dirty laundry, souvenirs that don't quite fit your decor, feeling a little too fat, and deep down inside thinking, 'So is that it? Was it all wor th it? Maybe a good video on Greece and a nice bottle of wine would have been more relaxing.' So what gives? In A. De- Botton's 'The Art of Travel' he says, "Aside from love, few activities seem to promise us as much happiness as going travelling, taking off for somewhere else, some- where far from home." Maybe this is the time for a real adventure, a journey of the heart, and a holiday with a purpose. Travel experts are finding that people, especially the over-indulged 20-some- things, want to take a trip and make a difference all at the same time. International organiza- tions are responding to this reality by providing "get your hands dirty, live with the people and off-the-beaten path holidays." Yes, you might come home with your knees scraped, sunburn rather than a tan, and 10 pounds thinner, but you'll know your time was well- spent. A few examples of organi- zations that provide these kinds of adventures are Habitat for Humanity (go and build a home for a homeless family in South America), www.habitat.org or www.Samaritanspurse.org or Spirit of Africa Safaris (see what dynamic young African leaders are doing to change their continent) www.negstusa.com, click 'sa- faris,' or teach English to Chinese kids at a summer camp in China, www.volun- teerabroad.com. Canadians are known in- ternationally as generous people. Check with government offices for other ways to travel with a purpose.

A top-secret military project hires prestigious university students to as- sist in creating a cell-al- tering machine called the 'gammasphere,' led by sci- entist Bruce Banner. Helping him is his ex-girl- friend Betty Ross. When something goes drastically wrong, Banner is afflicted with the ability to turn into a destructive, mammoth creature soon dubbed The Hulk, a mani- festation of his own inner demons. The military, led by Betty's father, gets in- volved along with a rival researcher. Ross suspects a link between scientist and creature and tries to save both from destruc- tion.

Whitby, ON L1N 2K9 Canadian music veterans play Durham tomorrow BByy KKeerrrrii DDeenntt Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Canadian music artist legends are set to rock the bandshell stage at Elgin Park this Saturday, June 21. Kim Mitchell, Sass Jordan, Alannah Myles and Psychofish will party in Uxbridge to benefit the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital Foundation and the Rotary Club of Uxbridge. Mitchell, a three-time Juno Award winner, will be returning to the bandshell for his second consecutive year playing at Elgin Park Live. Playing for more than 30 years and releasing 16 albums, Mitchell has shaped the face of Canadian Music. Mitchell, who spent the win- ter writing new songs, will be playing some for Uxbridge fans Saturday night along with his huge hits like 'Patio Lanterns'. "The journey of writing and rehearsing is what it's all about for me," said Mitchell. "But, I don't know if I'll ever record again." Writing, Mitchell said, is something that comes naturally to him. "It's something I do as a human being," he said. Passionate about his work, Mitchell said he hopes his fans enjoy the material he will be performing for them. Jordan, a Juno Award winner and a Billboard Music Award winner, is also a personal friend of Mitchell's. Jordan is currently busy judging Canadian Idol hopefuls. Jordan is also making a re- turn to the Elgin Park Band- shell. She played alongside David Wilcox in 2001 for the first official show in the new band- shell. "It was fun to do it the last time," said Jordan. "and this time it is the 'Killith Fair' show. "I think it is just a celebration of life and warm weather and everyone getting together - Alannah and I have fun doing these shows together, and I think that translates to the peo- ple," said Jordan. Mitchell and Jordan will be joined Saturday night by Myles, who has released five albums in- cluding a greatest hits collec- tion, just finished shooting her f irst role in a feature film enti- tled 'The Covenant' and is now working on a track for the first Tina Turner Tribute record. "I have chosen to sing an old favourite of mine, 'Can't Stand The Rain' which was on her 'Pri- vate Dancer' album." Myles said it was "probably one of the first songs I ever sang that encour- aged the more bluesy elements of my voice." Myles said Saturday's show combines her and Jordan's hits and a little more rock. "I've real- ly enjoyed doing our shows to- gether. Particularly the songs we duet together," she said. "I will soon be promoting my upcoming record '85 bpm', for which I have been in the studio the last two years recording," said Myles. "I am thrilled that a little 15- year-old girl sang my song to audition for NBC's 'Fame' in front of 23 million viewers as well as the girl who sang it for her audition on American Idol a couple of months ago. I had an Aretha Franklin moment. I felt like a part of their struggle. They're bringing a big part of me with them. I am honoured that people still care." Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. for the rain-or-shine event, with the concert starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the licensed event are available at U.C.

Driftwood Theatre Group will be using more of Shake- speare's words to help you make the most of the sum- mer and mayhap to lengthen that all-too-short lease. The Durham Region-based summer touring troupe will perform Shakespeare's com- edy, 'Love's Labours Lost,' throughout southern On- tario this summer, with an extensive tour of the region. A little music, a little moonlight and an "all-out roller coaster ride" with the play are in store for audi- ences, said director/designer Jeremy Smith. He's promis- ing "a cornucopia of move- ment, song and sexy sparring sessions," vivacious charac- ters and multiple art forms. This is Driftwood's ninth season of presenting outdoor summer theatre and Smith has chosen a timeless tale of romance and comedy to en- liven the summer nights. The King of Navarre and his three friends, Berowne, Longaville and Dumaine, have decided to devote them- selves to three years of study, swearing off all distractions, including women. With only Costard the clown and Ar- mado, a fantastical Spaniard, to entertain them, the men settle into their studies. However, that very day, the French ambassador arrives to see the King, bring- ing with him the beautiful (of course) princess of France and her three ladies, Ros- aline, Maria and Katharine. Naturally, they must be treated as the important g uests they are. The men are enchanted. And thereby hangs the tale. The cast of young and emerging actors include sev- eral Driftwood veterans -- Matt Bois, Janet Porter, Steven Burley, Alan Dil- wor th, Jill Morrison, Sara Moyle and Lisa Anne Ross. New to Driftwood are Maev Beaty, Christopher Kevill and Patrick Robinson. "It's a great cast of people. I'm very excited about this group," said Smith, who noted rehearsals start June 23 at York University for the July 12 premiere in Oshawa at Parkwood Estate. The production, done in various locations and always outdoors, will stay true to Shakespeare's play and its atmosphere and period, Smith said. Shakespeare's plays all contain "a height- ened sense of language" and to maintain this, set design, costumes and characters are very important, he added. Driftwood's production will not be classical or modern but a combination, he said. There's a classical feel in a modern style, he said. 'Love's Labours Lost' "seems to be the play that has the most modern feel of it as far as its sensibilities are concerned," he said. "In the play, the women are given a fair bit of power which was unusual for a play of that pe- riod." Previous plays presented by Driftwood include 'The Comedy of Errors,' 'Twelfth Night,' and 'As You Like It.' In March, Driftwood also tack- led one of Shakespeare's tragedies, staging a short- ened, mobile version of 'Ham- let' at Trafalgar Castle in Whitby as a benefit for Drift- wood and the school. This summer, Driftwood is concentrating on building up its core area, Smith said. "We basically try to build on each season but I think that you'll find, in the last few years, a concerted effort to build on the core area of Durham, Peterborough and Northumberland," he said. The company felt more time was needed to reassess and rebuild the local perfor- mances before stretching out into other areas of Ontario. With a solid base in these areas, Driftwood can once again go further afield. Some good, out-of-area locations, such as Kingston, Brantford and St. Catharines, have been retained this summer. All venues are outdoors. About 25 rows are set aside for blanket seating and then chairs can be set up. "People are free to bring their blankets or lawn chairs. We also rent blankets and lawn chairs. People can bring a picnic too if they want," Smith said. "It's a very, very pleasant way to spend a summer evening. We love being there and we hope that feelings transfers to the audience. I really, really enjoy it. I'm at almost every show." At Parkwood, people will be able to reserve seatings at the teahouse before the play, he noted. All plays begin at 8 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Ad- mission is pay-what-you-can; $1 2 per person or $25 per family is suggested.

Three days after winning the women's 100-metre hurdles crown at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship in Sacra- mento, California, the University of Illinois athlete was named the National Female Athlete of the Year Tuesday. The U.S. Track and Field Coaches Association honoured her with the award. "This is such a tremendous ho- nour," said Felicien in a story posted on the Illinois athletic We b site. "To win this award with so many strong candidates across the country makes this very spe- cial. I couldn't have done this without the great coaching staff we have here at Illinois and with- out a great group of teammates who pushed me to get better every day." Felicien is a two-time winner of the award, having also earned the accolade in 2001. That year, she was ranked number-one in the U.S. in the 100m hurdles through- out the year and ended fifth at the NCAA outdoor champi- onships. This year, in addition to win- ning the collegiate title, she also broke the NCAA meet record, broke her own Illinois school record and tied the Big Ten Con- ference record after running her semifinal heat in a sizzling 12.68 seconds. Felicien was also named the district and regional female ath- lete of the year leading up to this honour.

Lacrosse squad pulls off cash deal to bring aboard high-scoring Trudeaus BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor DDUURRHHAAMM ---- The Ajax-Pickering Rock pulled the trigger on a trade that promises to deliver more scoring punch. The Ontario Lacrosse Associ- ation senior 'B' squad receives brothers Nick and Doug Trudeau from the St. Clair Storm in a cash deal. The trans- action was consummated Mon- day night. The Trudeaus, from Windsor, have lacrosse roots in Durham Region, with Nick having played for the Mann Cup cham- pion Brooklin Redmen at the Major Series level and Doug having played for the Founders Cup champion junior 'B' Clar- ington Green Gaels. Nick played professionally last sea- son as a member of the Nation- al Lacrosse League's Albany At- tack. Rock general manager and head coach Paul St. John said the deal will have the net effect of making Ajax-Pickering a le- gitimate contender for the Pres- ident's Cup, emblematic of Se- nior 'B' lacrosse supremacy. "We feel that we now have the roster that can compete for it all. I told the players (of the deal) at practice Wednesday and they were excited," said St. John, who noted the first-place Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks were also in the hunt for the Trudeau brothers. "Our defence has been out- standing and our goaltending has been second to none, but we need offence. We need to get our goals up to 10 or 10-plus a game. We feel that if we do that we should win the bulk of our games." And, the Trudeaus definitely know how to score. Nick Trudeau is currently tied for second in league scoring with 21 goals and 20 assists. Meanwhile, Doug was second in team scor- ing for St. Clair with 15 goals and 13 assists in 10 games. St. John said Nick Trudeau's only concern with coming to Ajax-Pickering was if the team was good enough to win. Cur- rently, the St. Clair Storm (1-11, last in league standings) is out of the playoff picture, with the Rock currently in fourth place (6-4-0). After giving Trudeau assur- ances about the competitive- ness of the team, the deal was done. St. John said he was con- fident in telling him the Rock would be contending for the league title this year. "Both of them realize that St. Clair might not make the play- offs. Both Nick and Doug want to have a chance to play for the Canadian title. I honestly feel we have a really good shot at winning the President's Cup this year," he said. With the July 1 trade deadline looming, after which time all rosters are to be frozen, St. John said he still has at least one iron in the fire and hopes to make another deal prior to the deadline. He expects the Trudeaus to be the Rock lineup when they host the Kodiaks at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex Satur- day night at 7 p.m. On Sunday, the Rock is in Arthur to face the Aces at 7:30 p.m. PPEEBBBBLLEESS::Not so fast on the deal to bring local lacrosse play- er NNiiaallll MMaayynnaarrdd into the RRoocckk fold.

The league, said St. John, has intervened to resolve the situa- tion. He still, however, believes Maynard will land with the Rock. "We do hope to have him signed sooner rather than later.

Winners were, in front row, from left, Melanie Blackman (senior girls, played basketball, soccer and badminton) and Lindsey Ryan (junior girls, played hockey and soccer). In back row are Matthew D’Souza (senior boys, played baseball and basketball) and Chris Dahiroc (junior boys, played volleyball, bas- ketball and baseball). Warriors move to final eight at Ontario Cup soccer qualifier Under-12 Ajax boys face Brampton in next round AAJJAAXX ----The Ajax '91 Warriors played ungracious hosts in one of eight group qualifiers for the Ontario Cup in the boys' under- 12 division played at the Ajax Sportsplex last weekend. The Warriors posted a 3-0-1 record at the qualifier, good enough to advance to the final eight from the original 49 teams in the Ontario Cup playdowns, facing Brampton in the next match. Sun and good fortune were shining on the Ajacians as Liam Connon opened the scor- ing against Waterloo in Game 1. Other goal scorers for the Ajax Warriors were Lee Boyle and Domenic Roberts in Ajax's 3-1 victory. Strong efforts by forward Matt Lionetti and Emmett O'- Connor played a large role in the win. Game 2 saw a determined Greater London battle the '91 Warriors to a 1-1 draw. Daniel O'Connor providing the only goal for the home side. Strong ball movement by out- side defenders Luke Todd and Michael Evans helped hold the visitors at bay. The Warriors played the also unbeaten Mississauga Erin Mills Eagles in Game 3, with the Ajacians earning a 4-1 victo- ry. Warriors goals were scored by Jordan Gibbs, Jeff Gib- bons, Beau Johnson and Con- non. Forward Anthony Valerio provided strong support up front. In Game 4, a tired Ajax team faced the North Scarboro Strik- ers. Strong play in the middle by defenders Luke Morrison and Ryan Kirk helped keep the game scoreless at the half. Mid- fielder Kyle Sawyer rang a shot off the crossbar before Daniel O'Connor scored from a corner kick for the only goal of the game. Keeper Adam Redpath pro- vided another solid game, and got the much-deserved shutout. Mike Roberts and Cid Con- non coach the team. The man- ager is Lisa Morrison. *Sales Representative **Associate Broker ***Broker Owner www.durham region .com Open House Sunday, June 22, 2-5pm 67 Fletcher Ave, Ajax.
