Maragh confessed ‘because he did it’ BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer WWHHIITTBBYY — Any way you slice it, the ‘Razor’ theory just doesn’t cut it. That was assistant Crown at- torney Paul Murray’s closing message to the jury at the Pine Ridge High School shooting trial of Marlon Maragh. The prosecutor spent much of his final arguments Wednesday carving up the defence claim that a man known only by the street name Razor shot Teran Richards four times during a pickup basketball game. Razor, argued Mr. Murray, ex- ists only in defendant Marlon Maragh’s mind, invented to pin the shooting on a fictitious per- son. “There is no Razor. Razor is a figment of imagination. He’s cre- ating Razor,” the prosecutor told the jury of eight women and four men.

Dan McTeague, member for Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge, says he plans to introduce anti-spam legislation during this fall’s parliamentary ses- sion. “It would render unlawful any commercial entity, which sends out unsolicited material without the consent of the receiving party,” he explained in an interview. “Spam is curbing the exponential growth of the Internet by clogging up the Super Informa- tion Highway,” Mr. McTeague said. The MP estimates he receives about 300 e- mails a week through his Web site, www.danm- cteague.com. More than 200 of them are unso- licited, bulk e-mails or ‘spam’, as they are com- monly referred to by computer users today. It can tie up his staff, he said, and keep him from responding to constituents in a “timely fashion”. “There are filters out there but any enter- prising mind can get around them,” said Mr. McTeague. The borderless nature of the Internet means it will take a multi-lateral treaty among nations to make a ban on spam happen, he said. But, as a nation where Internet use is quite high, Canada can set the example by passing such legislation. While the MP is certainly not the first to call for a spam ban, “he is taking a proactive step in the right direction and he should be noted for this,” said Brian Evely, an interactive marketing consultant in Pickering. “Not only is it annoying but it’s becoming problematic,” he said. “For people soliciting for pornography, spam is 99 per cent of their vehi- cle.” There are ethical and unethical ways to ad- ver tise via e-mails, pointed out Mr. Evely. Re- sponsible companies will build their own data- bases, using only people with whom they’ve had first-hand contact. Other firms will simply purchase a mailing list, which is not permis- sion-based. Mr. McTeague’s plan is feasible, said Mr. Every, but he suggests some very specific con- trols need to be in place to make it work. “A g ood first step is to have the law state if you engage in e-mail marketing you must in- clude criteria on your e-mail message,” he ex- plained. “There must be a link from which you can remove yourself from an e-mail listing without any type of recourse.” He also advises including a privacy state- ment, in which companies have to disclose from where it was they received your e-mail ad- dress. This allows users to track down the source of their aggravation. As well, many com- panies use Internet marketing firms to issue their material. “It’s extremely important to have some trans-national privacy protection law in place,” he said. “There has to be a body that can press www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 12, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P Now offering Non-Surgical transplants for men & women Best Hair!!

GRAND OPENING September 19 905-426-4653 More staff, programs at Region nursing homes DDUURRHHAAMM — The Region is using in- creased funding from the Province to hire additional staff and pump more funds into programs at its three seniors homes. Effective Oct. 1, 11 nursing and personal care workers, one program worker and 11 support workers will be hired, for a cost of $1.3 million for a year. That includes salaries, benefits and fees, said a report released Wednesday at the health and social services committee meeting. The nursing and personal care programs, resident programs, other accommodations and the raw food budgets will see an increase of around $1.6 million for a year. The Region runs Lakeview Manor in Beaverton, Fairview Lodge in Whitby and Hillsdale Manor in Os- hawa. The extra funding from the Min- istry of Health and Long-Term Care comes out of a 2000 study, increased public pressure and advocating from the seniors sector, the report said. As a result, the ministry allo- cated $100 million to Ontario’s long- term care facilities. In 2003, the Region received $906,529 in increased funding from the province. The new staff and pro- grams are at no additional cost to the Region. The increases must be officially approved by regional council. Routine traffic stop uncovers property PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — A 40-year-old Quebec man has been arrest- ed after $30,000 in stolen vehi- cle parts were recovered dur- ing a routine traffic stop in Pickering. Durham Regional Police said they stopped a 2003 Ford pickup towing an enclosed trailer on Highway 401, near Whites Road, Monday, Sept. 8 at around 8:30 p.m. for a rou- tine safety check. Several vehicle parts were discovered in the trailer. A French-speaking Durham Regional Police officer was called to the scene to assist in the arrest, as the driver did not speak English. Among the items recovered include a 2003 Ford F350 cab, the front end of a 2000 Dodge Ram pick-up, the engine of a Dodge Ram pick-up, the front end of a GMC SUV and vari- ous hoods, fenders, gas tanks, air bags, lights and drive shafts, police report. Mo re charges are pending as the investigation is contin- uing. Bernard Hamel, 40, of Mathurin-Durant Street in Boucherville, Quebec, is charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Sept 13 905-426-5265 UOIT’s VP is off to Hamilton BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — This year’s start- up at Durham College is MaryLynn West-Moynes’ 19th - and last. The college’s chief operating officer and vice president, communications and market- ing for both the college and the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology, is the incoming president of the Hamilton-based Mohawk Col- lege. So, as you can imagine, Ms. West-Moynes looked at this start-up a little differently than the rest, because it’s her last with the college and first and last with the UOIT. “Last week was a really beautiful opportunity just to watch students on this cam- pus, just being here and watching college and universi- ty students,” she says. “You know, they have a look of promise.” Ms. West-Moynes has been a professor and co-ordinator of Early Childhood Education, director of staff and student development, executive direc- tor of communications and development, and vice presi- dent of academic excellence and innovation. Without hesitation, she says it’s the students she will re- member most. “Students who have a lot of determination and courage,” she says. “I can tell you stories of 17 and 18-year-olds who re- ally rose to the challenge in their post-secondary educa- tion. I can tell you stories about 40-year-old mothers without an income trying to raise two or three children...and how they have just had the determination to make something different for their families. None of that would have happened if we didn’t have the right staff here.” Ms. West-Moynes says she has been blessed to work with a Durham College staff that put students first. And, she re- served high praise for the col- lege and university president, Gary Polonsky, whom she de- scribed as “a wonderful men- tor, probably the best presi- dent in Ontario and Canada.” Her goal is to take some of the richness she has found at Durham College and UOIT and bring it to Mohawk, which has 9,600 full-time, post-sec- ondary students, 40,000 con- tinuing education students and 814 full-time employees. Fo r a few years she has had an inkling that it might be time for a new challenge - and the timing is right. The uni- versity is no longer a dream, but a reality she helped bring about. Her sons are in their early 20s and have moved on, leaving just Ms. West-Moynes and her husband, Doug Moynes, a teacher at Cartwright High School in Blackstock, at home. The plan is for Mr. Moynes to finish the school year and then join his wife in new digs in or near Hamilton for a new phase in their lives. Dr. Polonsky, in a recent memo to staff and student leaders, said he “made a stel- lar effort to retain MaryLynn’s services. “But she has shared with me for some time that her inner voice has been pro- pelling her to ‘fly solo,’” he stated. “While I am saddened by that for our sake, I under- stand fully - as a similar voice has been propelling me for most of my adult life.” Dr. Polonsky, in an inter- view, said he had mixed thoughts on Ms. West- Moynes’ imminent departure. “It’s real sad when you lose a tremendous colleague and tremendous friend,” he said. “But it’s happy because I think everyone on the campus West-Moynes new president at Mohawk MMAARRYYLLYYNNNN WWEESSTT--MMOOYYNNEESS Her goal is to take some of the richness of Durham College and UOIT and bring it to Mohawk.

The Bi-Annual Ajax Picker- ing Community Day is set for Sunday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the McLean Com- munity Centre in Ajax. Open- ing ceremonies are scheduled for 11 a.m. A variety of displays will be set up, including the police helicopter Air 1, the canine unit, the Tactical Support Unit, Traffic Services Branch, Marine Patrol and Dive Team. Also, representatives from several community groups will be on hand, in- cluding the Pickering Com- mittee on Race Relations and Equity, M.A.D.D. Canada in- formation booth, and the Ajax multicultural commit- tee. Presentations include one on Internet safety at 12:30 p.m., and drugs and gangs at 2 p.m. There’s a free family swim from 1 to 4 p.m., as well as a charity barbecue. The McLean centre is at the corner of Westney Road North and Magill Drive.

Ms. West-Moynes’ appoint- ment is effective Dec. 1, and her last day at the college and university is Oct. 31. Before she leaves, Ms. West- Moynes will leave her mark on Durham College by continuing to lead the 2004-2007 strategic plan process. She noted the former plan had a line in it that said, ‘bring a uni- versity to Durham Region.’ A pipe dream, perhaps, at one time. “I think the Durham community should watch out,” Ms. West- Moynes joked. “You never know what Gary Polonsky is going to put into that plan.” Police hold community day this weekend Let’s get serious about no-fly zone at nuclear plants TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: In response the letter by Mr. C.F. Cur- ran regarding safety at the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station (Sept. 7) I un- derstand the concern for other targets that present a danger to our community, and I, personally, get a bit paranoid when we point out these other targets, because you never know who is listening. But, the other targets that Mr. Curran points out would not result in near the casualties that a strategic hit on a nu- clear plant would generate. So, yes, Mr Curran, "someone in the know" must complete an assessment of the potential risk that an aircraft, loaded with whatev- er explosive/nuclear device, could pose on a nuclear power plant and then decide whether a no-fly zone would help protect the plant from such an event. Then stand behind that decision. And who is that authority? I believe it is the Canadian Nuclear Safety Council (the old Atomic Energy Control Board), and have they completed this study? Well I have heard that a jumbo jet could hit it and would not cause a nuclear catastro- phe. Oh really? Basically, I understood that a no-fly zone was declared, but that it was not being enforced. If there is a no-fly zone, then I say quit pussyfooting around, and stand behind what needs to be enforced. One thing we Canadians are, is too nice, and that may be the death of a bunch of us. I hope we can be serious about this now, rather than later, after many souls are lost.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 12, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Back in the early seventies, a new book hit the bestseller lists: 'I'm OK, You're OK'. This book gave us the go-ahead to treat each other as we would our- selves, to be kind and patient, and to show compassion toward our fel- low human beings, and to accept each others faults and discrepan- cies. Not long afterward, another book made it to No. 1: 'I'm Okay, Yo u're Not So Hot.' I have always thought of this as being the begin- ning of the 'me' generation. Now, decades later, this genera- tion continues to flourish in so many more ways than one would have expected. Take abortion. We find ourselves unexpectedly preg- nant. And decide to get an abor- tion. After all, we have enough on our plates: a career, a social life, no desire to settle down, so we ratio- nalize and decide to terminate the pregnancy. Just because it’s legal doesn't make it right. There is no thought given to the unborn child; to the person he/she might become, to the joy this child might bring; or how her presence could have an im- pact on a better world. It's me-first and that seems to be the solution. The most unselfish thing we could do is to carry the baby to term place him/her up for adoption with a family who would love her and help her grow into the kind of per- son any parent would be proud of. This 'I'm Okay, You're not so Hot' philosophy continues to draw un- suspecting passers-by into its fold. Look around at the street kids. Some have been asked to leave by their families, maybe because there's no time to create a happy family environment and the kids rebel. They become dependent on others and suffer from a severe lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. Others leave because they don't feel wanted in their own homes. There's no time for them, there's no time to make time. And what happens to these chil- dren? I once knew a woman, a self-pro- claimed born-again Christian, who told me with great certainty that the Christian way of life was to al- ways put oneself first above all else. I totally disagree. By doing this we lose the capacity to care for others and we become narcissistic.

But, slowly, as he made his way across this huge land, sup- port for Terry Fox grew. People took the determined young man to heart, cheered him on and cried when his epic goal came to a sudden halt in Thunder Bay. Cancer had returned and spread and, just 10 months later, in June 1981, cancer would take Terry Fox's life. But it would never take his soul. Terry's dream, that his Marathon of Hope would long outlive him, has been realized a hundredfold. This Sunday, millions across the globe are taking part in that annual beloved Sep- tember ritual, the Terry Fox Run. Here in Durham Region, at Port Perry's Palmer Park, Terry's brother Darryl is participat- ing. Thousands of walkers, in-line skaters, bicyclists, joggers and runners of all ages will go one, five or 10 kilometres in events spread throughout Durham Region, determined to raise funds in the ongoing battle against cancer. They'll be thinking of Terry of course, but many will also have deceased friends and rela- tives in mind, people they have watched succumb to cancer after bravely fighting the disease. Still others will have fought and beaten cancer themselves and will run to show the fight must go on. Such a massive undertaking as the Terry Fox Run could not be so successful without the countless hours put in every year by volunteers. And, one thing this event proves every year, is that there are many individuals who are more than willing to take up Terry's torch. They deserve our thanks. What's also notable about the run, especially in Durham, is the determination by participants to always top last year's re- sults. No matter how much the improvement shown, the goal by the following run is to do better. That's also a testament to Terry's never-say-die attitude. The goal to eradicate cancer is an awesome one, it would be easy to falter before such a chal- lenge. But Terry, who had suffered so much at such a young age, was bound and determined to make a difference. He perished before reaching his own personal goal, but his sacrifice has made a massive impact on us all and has pushed us to be bet- ter and to make a difference. On Sunday, we can all take anoth- er step towards Terry's ultimate quest. We'll each make a differ- ence.

He said, ‘I shot somebody but I ain’t do nothing.’ The truth is as he indicated on the wire- taps,” Mr. Murray said of a conversation between Mr. Maragh and the undercover officer planted in his cell at an Oshawa court. “He took credit for shoot- ing a young man three times in the back - he took credit for it because he did it.” The 23-year-old Scarbor- ough man denied shooting Mr. Richards with a .357- handgun during the after- hours game in Pickering on April 3, 2001. A stray bullet also grazed the cheek of a 15-year-old girl in the stands. Mr. Maragh has pleaded not guilty to eight charges in- cluding attempted murder, aggravated assault, posses- sion of a firearm while pro- hibited by court order and three counts of fleeing police causing bodily harm. The accused, who was serv- ing a weekend jail sentence for trafficking crack cocaine at the time of the shooting, admitted he carried a gun as protection from rival drug dealers, and that he was in the gym when Mr. Richards was shot. Court heard the shooting happened during an after- hours game between two teams comprised of players from Scarborough and Pick- ering. The game was spoiled by trash talk and threats by players to “shoot each other,” and turned ugly when a fight broke out over a foul, Mr. PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Here’s another way to stay active this winter. Youths aged five to 17 are invited to register for 2nd Bay Ridges Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers groups. Registration is taking place Wednesday, Sept. 17 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the gym at Holy Redeemer Catholic School, 747 Liverpool Rd. in Pickering. The help of parents is ur- gently needed in several key positions. For more informa- tion, contact Sandra at 905- 837-1467. ‘I’d rather shoot than be shot’ wiretap reveals Scout registration Sept. 17 Murray said. “You have a volatile situation about to explode. The Scarborough team comes in and is winning, and not being graceful. Teran Richards is being a jerk, he was mocking (op- posing players), calling cheap fouls,” he said. When teammate Al Nabe was punched in the face, Mr. Richards charged Scarborough player Tyshan Riley, who Mr. Maragh ac- companied to the gym. The Crown contends Mr. Maragh was watching from the sidelines and opened fire on Mr. Richards when he saw his friend, Mr. Riley, in trou- ble. “He was prepared to use that gun to protect himself or friends and that’s exactly what he did.” After the shooting, Mr. Riley, Mr. Maragh and an unidentified third man fled in a rental car, which the accused crashed while being pur- sued by police. The third person, which the de- fence says was Razor, got away on foot and was never apprehended, court has heard. The jury was to receive final in- structions from Mr. Justice Bruce Glass before beginning delibera- tions today.

After seeing her doctor, then a specialist, breast can- cer was diagnosed. The lump was so hard not even a needle could pierce it. “When I was first diag- nosed, it felt like my whole world just collapsed,” she said. “My husband, it never dawned on him that it could be bad.” While the results were bad, they could have been worse: Fur ther tests showed the cancer cells were very small, and had not spread to Mrs. Gradanti’s blood or bones. “I decided, since I was small-breasted, that we would remove the whole breast...and because I was terrified that if we didn’t, it would spread,” she said. She also opted against recon- structive surgery. “I was terri- fied of implants. They made me jittery and nervous.” Mrs. Gradanti’s treatment came in the form of a chemotherapy pill, which she took for nine years. Her fingers have been crossed ever since. So far there has been no return of the cancer. But the disease changed her. For a long time Mrs. Gradanti could not un- dress in front of her husband, who died of cancer six years ago. “I was embarrassed, I felt like a freak,” she said. But finally he had enough. “He said, ‘I didn’t marry you for your boobs, for your breasts, I married you for yourself. So come out of the closet and start being yourself again.’” There were bouts of de- pression, times when Mrs. Gradanti said she was “quite frankly, a total bitch.” But one day in 1987 her daughter brought home a Terry Fox Run pledge form from school. She realized there were people far worse off. With the exception of a year or two, Mrs. Gradanti has been in the run ever since. “I walk it because I’m a bad runner,” she joked. “We need people to get out there and do it and get that money in there. “It (cancer) opened my eyes to how life, it’s so frag- ile,” she said. “Maybe my gen- eration won’t see it, but maybe my grandchildren’s generation will see a cure.” Woman makes the most of life after cancer Mary Gradanti was diagnosed with cancer when she was 17. That changed her life dramatically and she treats each day like it’s her last. Take part AAJJAAXX — The Terry Fox Run in Ajax is being held Sunday at Rotary Park on Lake Driveway West.

Support offered for women trying to break habit DDUURRHHAAMM — The health depart- ment has help for women trying to butt out. The Women’s Quit Smoking group will meet Tuesdays for six sessions beginning Sept. 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The goal of the group is to offer support and information for women in their effort to quit. Research has shown that social support is important to women who are trying to stop smoking, more so than men. Having other women with smoking experience in the program is especially valuable for sharing struggles, support and solutions. The group is facilitated by a public health nurse, but driven by discussion, said Glendene Collins, a spokesman for the Re- gion’s health department. There is a higher percentage of women with lung cancer in Durham Region than in other parts of On- tario, a health department report called Snapshot on Cancer 2003 said. Around 25 per cent of women in Durham smoke.

Ta ke a step into the great outdoors DDUURRHHAAMM — Twenty-one candidates are now in the running for the 19 avail- able seats on the Durham public and Catholic school boards. The municipal election takes place Nov. 10, but those interested in seeking a position must register by the Sept. 26 deadline. Four trustee races cur- rently exist in the region to date. Trustee Marilyn Craw- ford, the Durham District School Board’s Ajax Wa r ds 1 and 2 representa- tive, is running again and has been challenged by Joshua Storms. In Wards 3 and 4, Geoff Gelbard, James Harvey and Lisa Hill are vying for the pub- lic board seat. It’s also a three-way race for the public board’s two Pickering seats. Ria Budhu (formerly Ria Ramnarine) and Richard Fleming are running against incumbent Trustee Paul Crawford. The third three-way race is in Whitby, where two public board trustees are elected. John Dolstra, incumbent and board chairman Trustee Eliza- beth Roy, and Scott Tem- pleton are the contenders. Elsewhere, several can- didates will be acclaimed if challengers do not come forward in the next two weeks. Uxbridge resident Gordon Baxter is the lone name on the nomination list for the public board’s Uxbridge-Brock position. The Oshawa list of pub- lic board contenders fea- tures Michael Barrett, in- cumbent Trustee Kath- leen Hopper and Jason Irani. Electors will choose three Oshawa trustees. At press time, there were no candidates for the public board’s Scugog trustee seat. Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board candi- dates comprise just six of the 21 candidates. So far, no one has signed up to represent the board in north Durham (one seat). In Oshawa, incumbent Trustee Joe Corey is seek- ing another term, joined by former Oshawa trustee Fred Jones. Trustee Jones currently represents north Durham residents. Two Catholic trustees are elected in the city. Incumbent Trustee Jan- ice Oldman is the sole can- didate in the race for the Ajax Catholic trustee posi- tion. Paul Bannister and incumbent Trustee Jim McCafferty are in the run- ning for the two Pickering seats on the Catholic board. Trustee Mary Ann Mar- tin, chairman of the Catholic board, is so far the only candidate in Whitby. Fifty days ago there were just four trustee can- didates in Durham Re- g ion. Three years ago, when voters last elected local representatives, 38 trustee candidates ran for office.

BByy LLeesslleeyy BBoovviiee Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — Improving GO-Transit, stronger protections for the Oak Ridges Moraine, and a full and open consultation process for the devel- opment of Seaton. Those are just some of the ideas being expressed by local provincial candidates on the issue of infra- structure around the GTA and Durham. Progressive Conservative (PC) candidate Janet Ecker said her gov- ernment is in the middle of a $3.25- billion, 10-year transit plan to ex- pand and renew Ontario’s transit corridor. “We’re helping municipalities renew their transit fleets,” the Pick- ering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP said. “Also GTA-wide, there have been a number of specific projects like a bus rapid-transit system and higher occupancy vehicle lanes on some highways.” She wants to see the 407 complet- ed across the top of Durham Re- gion, three new 401 interchanges in Durham finished, and further im- provements to Union Station to ac- commodate more trains. But all three of her challengers agreed more money should be fil- tered into public transit to help bat- tle gridlock. Liberal candidate Wayne Arthurs says his party will dedicate two cents from every litre of gasoline sold toward the effort. He believes a north-south GO-line through Seaton should be explored as an- other alternative to lakeshore trains, and welcomes a freeze on toll rates on Hwy. 407. “We’ll be six generations paying for this,” he said, of the highway. “And right now, the tolls are keeping people off the road with the increas- es in rates.” New Democrat Party (NDP) can- didate Vern Edwards says his party has pledged to divert three cents a litre in gasoline taxes to a trans- portation trust fund. Estimated at $468 million a year, the fund would help improve GO-Transit, local public transit, maintain highways, while also assisting municipalities with their road needs. “There’s been a lot of download- ing to municipalities and some mu- nicipalities are having trouble main- taining their roads,” Mr. Edwards explained. Adam Duncan, running for the Green Party, said he wants aid the Ontario government has given an- nually to carmakers filtered into the use of buses and trains instead. “We subsidize automakers in On- tario by $5 billion a year and that Provincial candidates on infrastructure Wayne Arthurs Adam Duncan Janet Ecker Vern Edwards Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge Riding alone adds to gridlock,” he said. Opposed to urban sprawl, Mr. Duncan said he doesn’t support the extension of the 407 at the risk of destroying rich farmland. Protection for the Oak Ridges Moraine and smart de- velopment in Seaton were top priorities for all four parties. Ms. Ecker said her govern- ment put the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act into place and plans to strike a small committee of “ex- perts” to help clarify its guide- lines for property owners on the moraine. As for Seaton, “no develop- ment should occur there until a proper environmental study, a proper growth study and consultation occurs,” she said. Fifty-three per cent of the environmentally sensitive lands in Seaton would be pro- tected. The land swap still being negotiated between the Province and developers will be public and not proceed without the scrutiny of an in- dependent fairness commis- sioner, she said. All four parties pledged to set aside green space along the moraine, but Mr. Arthurs was the only candidate who said his party could work co- operatively with the City of Pickering’s growth manage- ment study, which includes the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve along with Seaton. It’s the NDP’s position that “in perpetuity” means just that when it comes to the 1999 agricultural easements placed on the preserve, said Mr. Ed- wards. But, the Pickering mayor defended his position, point- ing out the Liberal greenbelt strategy is more of a “broad policy” created some years ago. It doesn’t necessarily in- clude all of the Pickering’s agricultural lands as reported, the Pickering mayor said. A commission will be creat- ed to determine which lands would be protected. “At the end of the day, I ex- pect there won’t be any con- f lict,” he said, adding the growth management study protects “a vast amount” of countryside and provides for green space linkages. Mr. Edwards said the NDP would sit down with the com- munity to decide how best to protect both the preserve and Seaton. But, Mr. Duncan sug- gested Pickering’s agricultur- al lands have become a politi- cal football for parties, which clearly have supported urban sprawl in other parts of On- tario in the past. “It’s why we have a Missis- sauga, or why York Region is growing out of control,” he added. The Green Party, said Mr. Duncan, would see the On- tario Municipal Board dis- banded altogether for a much more publicly accountable or- ganization.

A NAME YOU CAN TRUST (905) 428-1814 www.rotostatic.com Roto-Static is a Canadian company founded in 1977. Roto-Static of Ajax- Pickering, a franchise under the umbrella of Roto-Static Canada, is one of over 100 franchise locations across Canada and the United States. The local franchise has serviced homes and businesses in this region for 16 years, and has recently been acquired and is being operated by Dan & Jean Weber. They also own the franchises for Oshawa/Whitby, Port Hope & Cobourg which they have been successfully operating as well for 16 years. Roto-Static specializes in all types of carpet and upholstery cleaning using an exclusive patented process which differs greatly from traditional steam cleaning. Their main principle in cleaning is a rotary action creating static attraction. Trained Roto-Static technicians use an exclusive cleaning solution applied directly to the carpet. Then cleaning bonnets that are dipped into another solution and wrung out are placed beneath their specialized machines which generate a rotary action. The process creates opposite charges and naturally draws the soil from deep within carpet fibres, most times even removing dirt and stains missed by other cleaners. There is no shampoo used that might remain in carpet fibres that would attract dirt or promote bacterial growth. Very little moisture is ever in contact with the original carpet, so it sometimes can dry in 1-2 hours. You will get no shrinkage, no split seams, no mildew, and with no soapy residue, your carpets and upholstery will stay cleaner longer. Odor removal and pet stains are usually no problem. Satisfaction is guaranteed. They are a Scotchgard applicator; that helps keep carpets and upholstery free from stains and looking great. Call Roto-Static of Ajax-Pickering at 905-428-1814.

S., Ajax (905) 428-8940 (unit 5, just south of 401) Automatic transmission failure is most often due to neglect, abuse through poor driving habits, design flaws, normal wear and tear, overheating, and leaking fluid. The number one area of neglect is inadequate routine maintenance. As the temperature of the transmission fluid increases, the internal components start to break down. Over time and distance traveled, the lubricating properties of the fluid are lost. Thrust washers and bushings begin to wear, causing internal leaks and pressure losses, resulting in clutch, band and geartrain failure. Arrange to have your vehicle dropped off at Kingsway Transmissions to replace the fluid and filter every 25,000-30,000 kilometers, or as your owner’s manual indicates. It’s fast, inexpensive and gives peace of mind. If your transmission doesn’t shift like it use to, it’s time to have the specialists at Kingsway Transmissions check it thoroughly in order to diagnose problems in the early stages. You’ll get a FREE road test and evaluation, with an honest estimate before work begins. The technicians at Kingsway Transmissions have state-of-the- art diagnostic equipment, reference materials and on-going training to handle today’s complicated computer-controlled transmissions, manual transmissions, as well as work on drive lines, differentials, clutches, torque converters, and transfer cases.

High or mid-efficiency? Single or two stage? PSC or ICM fan motor? Brand C or brand Y? Years ago the decision was easy. You called your local oil company or gas supplier and in a few days, a new furnace would be installed in the basement. Today, more choices are available and a customer’s needs can be addressed more accurately. This is why a good heating and air conditioning contractor will make the difference. Choosing the right one is very important and the best way is by getting a good referral from a neighbour, friend or co-worker. People will usually recommend a company if their experience was a good one. Pick two or three contractors, and usually by the initial phone conversation, you can determine whether or not you feel comfortable having them to your home for a quotation. Calling every contractor and soliciting the lowest possible price isn’t the best way to initiate a purchase as important as a new heating system. Remember, you only purchase a furnace once, so make the right choice. A recent survey of HVAC companies has discovered a failure rate of about 37 per cent after just a few years in business. If a contractor is no longer The best time to replace your furnace is now around shortly after your installation, so much for the 10-year warranty they promised. It doesn’t sound like such a good deal any more. When looking for a contractor, be sure to ask these important questions: 1. How long has your company been in business? 2. Do you provide 24-hour service, and how large is your service department? 3. Do you perform your own installations? (The use of sub- contractors can vary the quality of workmanship tremendously). Your sales rep should evaluate your needs based on the comfort level you desire, your projected length of stay in your home, energy savings and your budget. The quotation you receive should not be scribbled on a business card or a furnace brochure. It should include make, model and capacity in BTU’s of the unit, installation and any modif ications required to ductwork or piping. A chimney liner may be required as well as a list of accessories such as a humidifier, upgraded filter or programmable thermostat. This is followed by warranties and finally the price and terms of payment. The installation crew should look and act professional, put down drop sheets where they are walking through your home and when the job is f inished, clean up and dispose of the old unit. System operation and maintenance should be included in the final steps with the customer. Regarding inspection of your installation, this is no longer the responsibility of the local municipality or gas supplier. It rests on the shoulders of a competent heating contractor and the aware consumer. With today’s technologically advanced products installed by a reputable contractor, your home will be more comfortable and less expensive to heat. So, if your present heating system is outdated, prone to costly repairs, or if your energy costs are out of control, it’s time to replace that old clunker in your basement. And the best time to replace it is before the cold weather arrives. Peace of mind is only having to set your thermostat.

I felt relief for our planet, thinking about fewer cars polluting the high- ways and no line-ups of idling mo- tors at fast food take-outs. I secretly hoped it would last long enough for the ozone layer to begin to heal it- self; for more people to try vegetari- an recipes; for recycling to be pro- moted as saving energy and espe- cially for neighbours to borrow my push lawn mower. When the power did resume, how- ever, I soon discovered the vast amount of food people were discard- ing. This too may have a positive spin if it accelerates our upcoming organics green bin collection as promised for early next year. In any event, it was an experience in which we all became aware of the necessity to conserve electricity. From office managers to children, we are all beginning to do more. When the general population takes LLaarrrraaiinnee RRoouullssttoonn rr ee cc yy cc ll ee rr ’’ss cc oo rr nn ee rr Do we have the will power? notice of the wasteful use of energy, especially when future blackouts hamper their livelihoods, there will be social pressure for ener- gy conservation. Do we now have the will to conserve power? The following ideas may help us in our conservation quest: • Standard for one escala- tor, of several, to be dor- mant allowing energetic people to walk up or down? • The norm to post notices on public washrooms to turn out the light when leaving? • Unnecessary for ‘light- timing’ while away as more homeowners use less lighting? Thus, a dark liv- ing room and hall would be no indication that the fam- ily is not in a back room. • Uncomfortable for local mayors to praise houses with Christmas lights on every shingle and bush? • A new way to view open houses without every light being on? • A mandate for every of- fice to have an audit from an energy consultant? • Unpopular for NEON light advertising? * Uncool to have a wine cooler? The blackout has given us the political will to promote ener- gy efficiency. As well, within the last few weeks, the media has listed end- less ways in which to cut electrical consumption. And, we can always find ways to do more. Recycler’s Corner would love to share your ideas. How have you managed to re- duce your electrical demands? My- self, I now unplug my microwave after use.

More than a dozen semi- automatic external defibrilla- tors (SAED) are now in Durham. The machines can be the difference between life and death for someone in sudden cardiac arrest, a con- dition that strikes when the heart stops abruptly due to a malfunction in electrical ac- tivity. “This is not an old person’s disease,” said Kevin Gaskin, president of the Durham Paramedic Association. “It hits middle-aged people...and it’s possible to shock the heart back to life.” Studies show the survival rate from sudden cardiac ar- rest can increase by 40 per cent if SAEDs are used with- in the first few minutes of ar- rest. “It sometimes takes para- medics so long to get to a pa- tient,” Mr. Gaskin said. “These are tools that can help us do our jobs and save some lives.” While at one time only medical professionals could use defibrillators, the public access defibrillation program has put the machines into public places and into public hands. The machines are in places like the Pickering Recreation Complex, Ajax and McLean Community centres, Whitby Hydro and Iroquois Park, the Brooklin Arena, the senior’s centre in Bowmanville and in two General Motors plants. Oshawa, Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog do not have ma- chines yet, but are looking at the program, said Keith Kirk- patrick with the Cardiac Safe Community Program. All the fire departments in Durham with the exception of Brock also have SAEDs on their fire trucks. There are trained staff at each facility, but almost any- one could use the machine if she or he had to, Mr. Gaskin said. The computerized equip- ment walks people through the process, and reads the heart before allowing a shock to be administered. There have been five sud- den cardiac arrests in the past 18 months in Durham, and three saves due to public SAEDs, Mr. Kirkpatrick said. Durham Region has one of the highest save percentages in Canada, at 20 per cent. The program is expanding into private homes, and orga- nizers hope it will one day lead into the private sector, Mr. Gaskin said. For more information on SAEDs and where they are located, or the public defibril- lation program, contact the Cardiac Safe Community Program at 905-433-4370 or 1- 866-503-2233.

d'etre has changed over the centuries. "It's been around since people have had clothing and had scraps left over," she says. "Now it has grown into an art form instead of something practical." Each piece begins with a design drawn on paper, she explains. The artist then cuts out the fabric pieces and sews them together by hand or with a machine. It is then "sand- wiched together" with backing, the back of the quilt, and batting, "the fluffy stuff in the mid- dle." A small piece might take only a day or two to complete. A larger work, however, might in- volve two to three weeks of effort. Ms. Galna mainly does abstract work at this point, and some of her work reflects the inter- ests of her children, including dinosaur and Harry Potter pieces, and a series from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. You can see approximately 12 of Ms. Galna's pieces on display at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., Ajax, but you'd better hurry: her show ends Sept. 15.

As the saying goes, she was hooked, enjoying the magic that comes from taking a pile of scraps and turning them into an artistic creation. "I've always loved the feel of fabric and the creativity that comes from making something out of nothing," she says. Her mother taught her to sew when she was 10 years old and Ms. Galna started out as a dressmaker. After starting a family, she became a stay-at-home mom, but one who didn't want to lose her sewing skills. A self-taught fabric artist who has taken a few courses, Ms. Galna now gives workshops and trunk shows for quilting guilds across Ontario. "It's like a show-and-tell," she says of a trunk show, noting the artist takes a body of work to guilds and shows the pieces, explaining why a certain design was chosen, for ex- ample.

First, make sure to in- volve the kids in the entire planning process. The more they feel like they have had a say about the destination and activities, the more co-operative they will be. Next, check out the In- ternet for your vacation destination possibilities. You will be able to find a lot of free planning materi- als to help put together the perfect trip. The ma- jority of provincial tourism departments have travel kits complete with infor- mational guides, brochures and maps that they will send you free of charge. Once you have compiled your information and packages, gather the family, research your op- tions and decide where to go together. Family vacations can be real budget-busters, there- fore, plan a trip you can af- ford so that there are not any stressful or embar- rassing moments while on the road. Know what is in- cluded in the vacation package and what will cost you over and above so that you can budget wisely. Booking early and being flexible with travel dates and times allows you to capitalize on various air- lines and hotel specials, which can equal big sav- ings. Also, look for hotels that cater to families. National hotel chains help to ensure you will find a comfortable stay anywhere during your trip. And, family hotels like Holiday Inn also offer spe- cific value programs. For example, not only do kids 12 and under eat for free from the restaurant kid’s menu when accompanied by an adult, but until Sept. 7, Holiday Inn can help you get the most out of your summer getaway with its new dinner’s-on-us pro- gram, where adults can also eat for free, up to $24 per night. In terms of vacation ac- tivities, call ahead to avoid disappointment. Make sure to book family attrac- tions, entertainment and sporting adventures well in advance. And finally, let kids help create memories. Giving them disposable cameras will not only empower them, but it will help cap- ture more great moments from your family summer vacation.

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 compartment. A great innovation is that maps are orga- nized 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 children how to use maps and help them learn to answer that gnawing question, “A re we there yet?” Make a game out of it and try to see who can calculate the distance the fastest.

Unfortunately, Belfall’s crew fell to OPG 12-5 in the title game. City soccer player to train in Europe this month BByy AAll RRiivveetttt Sports Editor PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——A city soccer player hopes to learn more about the game during a trip to one of the world's top soc- cer-playing nations this month. Michael Sarangi, 14, will be part of a Canadian soccer contingent that will travel to Germany for a week of train- ing in Duisberg, near Frank- fort, from Sept. 16 to 27. Sarangi, one of seven On- tarians chosen for the trip, was named to the team after the Ontario under-15 squad captured the gold medal at the Canadian Soccer Champi- onships in Regina, Saskatchewan earlier this summer. "The experience is going to be fun," says Sarangi, a Grade 10 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School. "I'm happy to get the chance to represent my country." In Germany, the Canadians will undergo rigorous work- outs during a training camp. They'll also play games against German under-15 and under-16 teams. Three exhibi- tion games are scheduled, be- g inning Sept. 19 against Neuwark, followed by con- tests Sept. 21 against Bor.Monchengladbach and, fi- nally, Sept. 23 against Schalke. All told, it has been an in- credible soccer journey this summer for Sarangi. L ast Saturday, Sarangi helped his East York Komets under-15 Ontario Youth Soc- cer League team to the On- tario Cup. The Komets held off the Etobicoke Energy 1-0 to claim the provincial title in Vaughan. Sarangi noted the ability of the Komets to get up in the air quicker than their Etobi- coke opponents was key to the outcome. "When both teams played on the ground, we were pretty much equal," says the centre back with the Komets. "But, we were able to get up in the air first and that made all the difference." Earlier in the summer, Sarangi helped the 18-mem- ber Ontario provincial under- 15 boys' soccer team capture the national title after a 3-2 win over Quebec in the gold- medal final. In the spring, Sarangi was part of an elite invitational 'Academy' team, made up of players from across the province, to take part in a playing tour of England and Scotland during the March break. There, the Ontario team played a series of exhibi- tion games against the Man- chester United and Glasgow's Celtic academy teams. Sarangi played most of his minor soccer in Pickering and Nor th Scarborough before joining the East York Komets this season. The soccer season, however, is not over for the talented teen. He'll play for the St. Mary Monarchs senior boys' soccer team this season, with workouts commencing this Tuesday afternoon. The German way MMIICCHHAAEELL SSAARRAANNGGII To train in Germany. PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——It came down to one shot for the Pickering Power girls' under-11 soccer team at the recent Unionville-Milliken Mills Soccer Tournament. Playing a strong Erin Mills Eagles squad in the final, the Power girls played their foes even up through 60 minutes of regulation time and two overtime frames. The game then went to a five-player shootout to de- cide the winner and, again, the game remained deadlocked. In a head-to-head shootout, Erin Mills kicked first and Pickering goal- keeper Rebecca Horsford was able to smother the attempt. With the game and the championship on the line, Megan Mihail buried her shot to give Pickering the victory. Following the final, Carly White was named the game's most valu- able player. The Pickering team came out of the round robin in first place. The Power girls started the event with a 1-0 victory over Caledon. White scored the lone Pickering goal. Next, Pickering downed the host Unionville-Milliken squad 5-0. Kati Fukusaka, Lisette Pineau, Megan Mihail, Emily O'Marra, and Chelsea Beck scored. The lone loss of the tournament for Pickering came in Game 3 against the Erin Mills Eagles. De- spite outplaying their opponents, Power still dropped a 1-0 decision. Pickering rebounded in Game 4 to defeat Markham 2-1 to earn a berth in the championship contest. Lisette Pineau and Hayley Smith, with the game winner, scored for Pickering. The Power squad was buoyed by the strong goaltending of Samantha Kudra and Horsford. Te am members are Hailey Ryan, Rachel Passchier, Jamie Gesualdo, Meghan Hennebury, Courtney Stott, Amanda Smith, Andrea God- frey, Paige Pacini, Rachel Downey, Rebecca Horsford, Samantha Kudra, Chelsea Beck, Lisette Pineau, Megan Mihail, Emily O'Mar- ra, Kati Fukusaka, Hayley Smith and Carly White.

The tykes improved its record to 4-0 in Central On- tario Minor Football League play after rolling over the Eagles 54-0. Mean- while, the atoms were 30-6 victors over Etobicoke. Fi- nally, the peewees crushed the Eagles 62-6 to record their fourth consecutive victory. Tykes' fullback Cole Tudor broke through for the first touchdown early in the first quarter. Dolphins' quarterback Jeff McIlravey, on a naked bootleg to the outside, scored the second major. Fullbacks Richard Quittenton and Ashton Rochester each scored touchdowns in the second quarter. The tykes continued to score in the third quarter as running back Dillon Campbell scored the only touchdown of the stanza. Tudor scored his second major of the game in the fourth quarter and wide re- ceiver Nick Naimool grabbed a short pass from Quittenton and ran 40 yards for the game's final touchdown. The point-after team, led by kicker Dillon Campbell, holder Dustin Kaupp and long snapper Jackson Harding, was suc- cessful in completing four kicks at three points each, which adding another 12 to the Dolphins' total. The defence played an- other outstanding game and has still not allowed a single point so far this sea- son. Linebackers Nathaniel Shelton-Richards, Dillon Campbell, Alexander Horodnyk and Jamal Pat- ten plugged up the middle, while cornerbacks Dustin Kaupp and Omar Smith stopped the run outside. Safeties Matt Smith, Hay- den Plourde and Kyle Ali shut down the passing game. Centre Jackson Harding, guards Nathan Cheung and Raekwon Grant, tackles Ryan Colvin and Bryan Derksen and tight ends Darryl Gonzales and Alexander Horodnyk were the Dolphins' game stars. In the atom game, the Dolphins rode a strong of- fensive performance to a comfortable win over Etobi- coke. Quarterback Jesse Kelly, making his first start of the season, had the of- fence operating smoothly. Running backs Myles Daly and Tristan Garnet han- dled the bulk of the run- ning, with Garnet scoring his first rushing touchdown of the season. Matt Blum and Peter Iyamu had another strong game on defence. Brandon Misseri made his first start of the season at defensive tackle, and had a solid ef- fort. Andre Shand, Alan Forsythe and Greg Farrell, who added a sack, also came up with big efforts. Meanwhile, in the peewee contest, the Dolphins ran their trio of backfield hors- es to victory. Running backs Tristan Ming and Jermayne Goodridge and fullback An- drew Quittenton scored at will against the Eagles' de- fence. Goodridge had three touchdowns, while Quitten- ton and Ming each scored rushing touchdowns. Over- all, Ming and Goodridge each ran for more than 100 yards in the contest. The Dolphins got busy right from the opening kickoff as Cecil Cherrie ran the ball back 80 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback David Priestman hooked up with wide receiver Travis Thomas on a 15-yard pass-and-run play to put the Dolphins in flight. Priestman hooked up with tight end James McIntosh for a 12-yard touchdown pass to cap a long, time- consuming scoring drive. Thomas and McIntosh scored additional second- half touchdowns on passes from Priestman. The Dolphins' backfield was aid by timely blocks supplied by Alex Smeall and Mark Fedosen. In fact, the entire offensive line was a force in the victory, espe- cially first-year players Tyler Harding, Greg Sheremeta, Marc Gregoire and Shawn Murphy. Defensive ends Shayne Pinnock and Justice Moun- sey combined with line- backers Andrew Smith, Keith Hunter, Phil Roy and Jo rdan Nyguyn to shut down the Eagles' sweep at- tempts. Interior linemen Alexander Ko, Michael Va- habi and Eric Degnan com- bined to stop the Eagles' in- side runs. The Dolphins host the Markham Raiders this Sunday, Sept. 14 at Kins- men Park in Pickering.

Today, that station no longer sits on the rail line, but is still in the same area. Instead of host- ing freight and passengers, it contains art and it's name makes the most of that connec- tion: the Station Gallery. Whitby Arts Inc., the board in charge of the gallery, held a giant party to celebrate the milestone 100th birthday. An exhibit of works by artists asso- ciated with the gallery in the last 33 years, 'Station Crossings: Timeless Passages,' continues to Oct. 12. "We had a wonderful turnout on Sunday," said curator Linda Paulocik of the Sept. 7 party. "It was great. I was impressed with the wide cross-section of the community who attended." Young and old, artists, gallery supporters and even new visi- tors turned out for the party at the gallery, located at Victoria and Henry streets, she said. A group picture of more than 100 people was taken in front of the gallery and will be added to the archives, continuing the building's long and interesting history, she said. Town of Whitby archivist Brian Winter has researched that history. The station was completed in October 1903 as part of a lawsuit settlement be- tween the Railway and Whitby, after the railway workshops in Whitby were closed in 1883, Win- ter said. Grand Trunk agreed to build a double track through the town and relocate the sta- tion from Victoria and South Blair streets to Byron Street so it would be closer to the town. The first station master was Frederick S. Allin and the bag- gage master was William Van Valkenburgh. Called Whitby Junction be- cause it was near the junction of the Grand Trunk main line and the Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway, the station gained notoriety when it was the scene of an unsolved mur- der on Dec. 11, 1914, Winter noted. Night telegraph operator Billy Stone was shot while on duty, and no-one was ever brought to justice for the killing. There were rumours his father killed him to cash in on a life in- surance policy, and when the fa- ther committed suicide six months later, many people felt they had the answer to the mys- tery, Winter said. A few years after the station was built, it was discovered the baggage room at the east end was too small, so it was en- larged. Passenger and freight trains stopped regularly at the station until the end of the 1950s, when rail traffic was significantly re- duced, said Winter. The station eventually closed in the fall of 1969. Instead of being demol- ished, it was chosen as the new site for Whitby Arts Inc., which was looking for a gallery. On Feb. 16, 1970, the station was moved across the CNR tracks to the northeast corner of Victoria and Henry streets, and opened as an art gallery on Sept. 26 of the same year, Win- ter said. Additions have been made and in 1981, the Station Gallery was designated an historic building under the Ontario Her- itage Act. It was repainted in grey and green, the original colours of the Grand Trunk Railway. "The architecture of the sta- tion with its turrets and bay windows is typical of turn-of- the-century railway station de- signs and the building has been featured in a number of works of art and books on railway his- tory," Winter said. "It is a fine ex- ample of how historical build- ings can be recycled to new uses and continue to be part of our communities in the 21st centu- ry." Winter noted the 1970 move was paid for by Norman and Kay Irwin whose son Bill and his wife Marion organized the big event. Today, Bill Irwin is president of Whitby Arts Inc. and a member of the joint gallery and Town committee that will oversee yet another move of the building. "It'll be different this time," he said. "We'll have an opportunity this time to increase the space." Although details have yet to be worked out, extra space for classrooms and exhibits and cli- mate-controlled storage facili- ties will be added, he said. The gallery isn't moving too far. Originally located near where the current GO station is now, the gallery will leave its home on the northeast corner of Henry and Victoria for the northwest corner, near Iroquois Sports Complex. Paulocik anticipates the move will come within the next year. She noted the gallery is a unique space for art exhibits. "It's been a home for many," she said. "It can be problematic when you want to bring big can- vasses in but it definitely has a personality." For the current exhibit, Paulocik chose artists who have not only exhibited at the gallery but those who have also con- tributed to the community. Many have given lectures or conducted workshops or taught classes at the gallery through the years. Gallery celebrates 100 years The Station Gallery in the 1980s.
