A ‘Voter’s Guide’ e-mailed to Durham District School Board candidates requests that they “respond to the many moral and religious issues affecting the family in our schools today.” Formerly the Family Action Council in Durham, the coali- tion’s Web site says its mandate is “to see Judeo-Christian princi- ples restored in Canada,” offer- ing strategies and other help “to enable ordinary Canadians to influence their government.” Durham director Terry Rud- dell says the survey results, on a one-page, spread-sheet-type document, will be sent to Durham churches before the Nov. 10 municipal election. But he says there will be no candi- date endorsements. He says the trustee survey started in 1990 after members of the church community asked him for whom they should vote in the local election. The candidates are asked 10 questions, including, “should condoms and other contracep- tives be distributed or made available in our schools?” and “should prayer be reintroduced into the beginning of each school day?” Each requires a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer, and those two extremes are given a 1 or 10- point level of endorsement or re- jection. All include a third op- tion, such as, ‘yes but with re- strictions,’ that carry a five- point value. Mr. Ruddell says candidates are not scored, but acknowl- edges that a ‘10’ indicates “a re- ally conservative viewpoint.” “That doesn’t necessarily make the voter’s guide a bad thing for somebody who is a ‘1’ across the board,” he says. He agrees a socially conserva- tive candidate does not neces- sarily equal a good trustee. Mr. Ruddell says, “It’s always been a struggle” to come up with ques- tions that would give survey readers a sense of who is credi- ble. Kathleen Hopper, the board’s longest-serving trustee, says she has always responded to the survey in the past, but in her own fashion, writing in com- ments when she believes the an- swer beyond a simple black or white response.

While he says he and council have accomplished a lot over his six years as chairman, Mr. An- derson wants to see the trans- portation and strategic plans implemented, construction start on Hwy. 407 and have the Region be “leaders, not follow- ers” when it comes to garbage. “Personally, it’s been a very re- warding job,” he said. “I get to market Durham Region to the world.” ✦See Durham page 4 A.J.

All the things that made Canada a preferred choice then, remain. And, he says, despite the waffling at the federal level, there is still a high de- gree of goodwill toward the Canadi- an team at the international negoti- ations where seven countries are now participating. That doesn’t mean it will be a cakewalk to re-enter the bid at this late hour, Dr. Stewart admits. “We would have to sell it very aggressive- ly. If the decision happens after Bei- jing, we would have to go around to the individual parties. We’d really have to fast-track to do it.” So the only question remaining is whether the federal government has the will to make it happen. It will mean Ottawa must match the $1.15- billion contribution the Ontario gov- ernment has agreed to pay if the Clarington site is chosen or half that amount if Canada remains as a part- ner on the research but is not chosen as host. It could take a stronger push by the new provincial Liberal govern- ment, says Dr. Stewart, although Premier-elect Dalton McGuinty has already confirmed his support. Both the Region of Durham and Clarington are pushing for a positive decision, says Clarington Mayor John Mutton who issued a press re- lease re-iterating that position, Wednesday. Durham and Northum- berland MPs, with the exception of Ivan Grose, who opposes ITER, are keeping the project alive in the minds of the caucus and key minis- ters, adds Dr. Stewart, who says they are all working very hard at this point to bring the approval to fruition. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 PAGE 3 A/P in your own dining room!

IN STORE FINANCING Canada could still pull a coup fo r fusion facility BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Editor DDUURRHHAAMM — Despite reports to the contrary, the Canadian bid to host ITER in Claring- ton is still alive and causing a ruckus in Ottawa, says Mur- ray Stewart, the country’s delegation leader on the in- ternational energy project. But if the federal govern- ment doesn’t make a decision in the next few weeks to back the Canadian bid to host the facility, then it will be death by neglect for the project, he admits. The status of the federal cabinet decision on whether to fund Canada’s bid to host the facility for the multi-bil- lion dollar international col- laboration changes daily, even hourly, says Dr. Stewart, who adds it is the talk of the Hill at the moment. As of Wednes- day afternoon, the Canadian delegation had a green light from Ottawa to proceed to Beijing for the next round of talks on the project, but no mandate to bring Canada’s offer to host the facility back on the table, he says. “The Beijing meeting is a week and a half away. In ITER terms, that’s eons,” says Dr. Stewart, noting anything can happen between now and then. There have been rumours in Ottawa that cabinet may simply let time run out on the project rather than vote it down, because to do so would be an unpopular move with many MPs and the new Liber- al Ontario government. How- ever Dr. Stewart says there has been no credible confir- mation from his sources in Ottawa that the ‘non-deci- sion’ theory is based on fact, although he has heard the ru- mour. “I can’t prove that story at all. They’ve not made a deci- sion but there is still an awful lot of support in cabinet. I can’t find any confirmation of that view,” he says. “If some- one didn’t like the project it would be a nice tactic,” to just let time run out, he concedes. However, it is a strategy that could cause Canada to lose face on the international front. “We do want a decision (either way). If it is not going to proceed we still want it managed well,” if Canada exits the project to ensure it leaves with credibility intact, he says. Meanwhile, talks in Vienna recently wrapped up and the date for a final site decision of the project is looming closer, likely in the first week of De- cember. Japan, France and Spain are also vying for host- ing-rights and all have their offers backed up by a finan- cial package and support of their respective governments. That notwithstanding, Dr. Stewart says, if the federal cabinet does make a decision, it is still “absolutely” possible for Canada to re-enter its pro- posal and have an excellent shot at selection. 534 Rodd Avenue, Pickering (905) 509-2582 UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT “Retirement Living In A Natural Country Setting” ITER bid isn’t dead yet A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Designer Fragrance Depot $1995 $1995 DEALERS WELCOME Finch Ave. E.Markham Rd.Middlefield Rd.Tapscott Rd.5635 Finch Ave. E.

Nov. 6 Born in Scarborough, the 50- year-old has lived in Ajax since he was 14. He worked in his father’s real estate office after school, and joined the Durham Regional Po- lice Services in 1978. In 1992 Mr. Anderson formed his own real es- tate company in Ajax, Re/Max Quality One. Mr. Anderson’s ven- ture into politics stretches back 18 years. He was first elected as a councillor in Ajax from 1985 to 1988, then served on the Ajax hydro commission until 1991. From 1991 to 1997 he served as re- gional councillor and deputy mayor in Ajax, and has been chair- man of Durham ever since. The chairman’s position - ar- guably the most powerful politi- cian in the Region - has come under fire in the past, as it is ap- pointed by members of council, not elected by the public. Mr. Anderson dismissed the ar- gument. “People suggest I carry power, but I carry the message of the Re- gion,” he said. “I don’t voice my opinion once council has made a decision.” A regionwide election would carry huge costs and open the door to party politics like it has in To r onto, where members of all provincial parties are endorsing mayoral candidates. “I have a clear set of rules to op- erate under, and I can be chal- lenged just like everyone else when it comes to following the rules,” he said. Mr. Anderson’s long list of boards and committees includes GO Transit, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. No one has regis- tered to challenge Mr. Anderson for the chairman’s seat, which will be voted on during the new re- gional council’s inaugural meet- ing Dec. 10.

If she does, Ms. Hopper says she will likely fill it out. First-time candidate Richard Fleming, running in Pickering, says while some of the questions might be out of a trustee’s purview and better directed to the Province, he would respond. “They have some important ques- tions,” he says. “I always try and an- swer everything that’s sent to me.” Ms. Hopper noted one question stems from an issue that came up at a standing committee meeting 17 months ago. A crowd in the gallery, including Mr. Ruddell and others from the CFAC, criticized the health and wellness centre at G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Oshawa. Some dubbed it a “sex clinic,” saying parents were unaware that birth control pills and condoms were being handed out to students. The 2003 survey asks, “Should a child be able to visit a school health clinic without parental knowledge?” Ms. Hopper said the question “worries me” because it indicates to her that the centre and its programs, supported by the board, parents and several community groups, are at risk of being cancelled. Mr. Ruddell was non-committal when asked if the centre should be in the school, but says parents should know if their kids are going there, for example, to pick up condoms. For years there have been allegations that ultra-conservative Christians are trying to hijack or at least influ- ence the board by secretly fielding candidates. “No, No,” Mr. Ruddell responds to claims about any kind of plot. He says he’s been told there are Christian candidates running in the election of whom he has never heard. “I don’t see a Christian slate,” he says. “Now, there are others in the church community who may go look- ing for these people or say, ‘Here’s the top six, let’s go out and get them elected.’” Mr. Ruddell says it’s easy for the coalition’s detractors to call them the religious right. “We’re really not trying to preach morality on others; we are trying to make sure others don’t push their morality on our kids,” he says.

A Durham District School Board ad hoc committee presented an amended regulation and pol- icy to trustees at the Oct. 20 board meeting. The controversial wording setting out that only trustee members of a naming committee have a vote when it comes to choosing a school name is gone. The current draft states all committee members, including parent and student representatives, are voting members. The ad hoc committee was set up in May at the urging of Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler, who claimed not enough people in the community are involved in the naming process. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 PAGE 7 P Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies.

Ve teran seeks sixth term PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Rick Johnson seeks his sixth term on Pickering council this fall. “I’ve started a lot of projects and I want to complete them,” he says, of his reason for running for re-election again. Mr. Johnson points to the Durham Mobility Study and the widening of To r onto’s portion of the Taunton Road and Steeles Avenue corridor as examples. He’d also like to see the 407 extended through the rest of the City and the Region’s integrated waste management system come to fruition in Pickering. “We need to continue to look at emerging (waste management) technologies,” Mr. Johnson says. “I want to see the 62 per cent waste di- version they are getting now in north Durham to continue here in Picker- ing.” Mr. Johnson first ran for council in 19 8 2, but lost the local Ward 3 seat to Wayne Arthurs. He returned for an- other attempt in 1985 but was un- successful. In 1988, Mr. Johnson took the local seat and later made the jump up to region in 1991, where he has served four consecutive terms. He has lived in Pickering for 32 years with his wife Sue, and his two sons, Chris and the late Russell, and considers politics his full-time ca- reer. Mr. Johnson currently serves as chairman of the Region’s works committee, the Central Lake On- tario Conservation Authority, the development charges committee, and the Durham Region master transportation plan. He is also a di- rector of the Veridian Energy Corpo- ration, Durham Non Profit Housing and the GTA Regional Public Works Chairs committee. His community service involves being an honorary Pickering Lions Club member, an honorary chair- man of the Cassidy Golf Tourna- ment for Community Living, vice- president of Ajax Pickering Women’s Shelter, and member of Royal Cana- dian Legion, Branch 483 in Clare- mont. Among his top priorities this term is the construction of the Brougham fire hall, covering the Claremont outdoor ice rink, seeing the women’s shelter completed in Ajax, and pushing for an interim homeless shelter for families await- ing non-profit housing in west Durham. Hoping to bring fresh perspective to Pickering PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Pickering council is stale and could use a fresh start, says political newcomer Sally Miller. “Pickering has suffered some growing pains,” says Ms. Miller. “It’s no longer a rural setting and I think we need people on council that represent the wonderful diver- sity in Pickering.” Ms. Miller says she seeks the Wa rd 3 regional seat her first time out because she believes the ward hasn’t been represented well at the reg ional level. “The integrated waste system hasn’t happened and the gridlock is so bad in Pickering,” she says. “There’s been growth but without the proper infrastructure.” A recreational therapist at Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital, Ms. Miller has lived in Pickering for 16 y ears with her husband Nick and their three children. In 1997, she spearheaded a team that convinced Pickering council to put the question of an environmen- tal assessment of the Pickering A nuclear reactor on the ballot. Ms. Miller recently served on the environmental committee of the To ronto Olympic Bid for the 2008 Summer Games and has coached g irls’ soccer in Pickering. Pickering needs to resolve its land issues in Ward 3 but any de- velopment must be done “with a conscience”, says Ms. Miller. She wants to see the Duffin-Rouge Agricultural Preserve kept in tact and environmentally sensitive lands in East Duffins also protect- ed. “I don’t think there should be a swap,” she says, of Seaton. “All of us, as citizens, don’t know all of the facts. If elected, I promise to bring transparency to all land issues.” The candidate says she also sup- ports a new fire hall in Brougham and more youth programs for teenagers. “Eighty per cent of people in Wa rd 3 have urban issues,” she adds. “I think we need to build on our youth programs and make them more visible.” 2003 MUNICIPAL ELECTION - PICKERING REGIONAL COUNCILLOR WARD 3 RRIICCKK JJOOHHNNSSOONN SSAALLLLYY MMIILLLLEERR Ta ke pride in Pickering Clean up and a barbecue, held Oct. 25 PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Here’s your chance to help out with a little house cleaning around the City.

BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM — The Region has survived a nuclear accident - sort of. A slew of provincial, regional and municipal officials discovered last week that managing a potential nuclear accident at one of Durham’s two plants takes planning, practice, control and communication. ‘Pickering 2003’ was a full-scale exercise based on a mock accident at the Pickering nu- clear power plant. The regional operations centre, under the leadership of the provincial operations centre in Toronto, was buzzing with department heads, police, fire, and ambulance making calls and managing the ‘accident.’ The largest purpose of the plan is to make sure everyone is in sync and communicating, said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “The problem, I find, is communication as the emergency carries on,” Mr. Anderson said, referring to the massive blackout in August that knocked out phone lines and cellphones. “This is a major learning experience for us.” If an accident were to occur, the public would be notified by an automatic dialling system of what to do and where to go. That system was also tested today by calling 2,500 households in Pickering. Should phones be down, there are police on the road, police and fire radios, per- sonal desktop assistants, Mr. Anderson said. Throughout the exercise, the Province would call with updates and developments that the ROC had to manage and act out. In some schools in Durham, mock evacua- tions were taking place, with attendance, get- ting to emergency exits and assessing building infrastructure all considered, said Dan Salter, co-ordinator, training and exercise for Durham’s emergency measures office. A real evacuation of homes, businesses, hos- pitals, etc., would never take place unless there was an actual emergency, Mr. Salter added. Full-scale exercises occur every two years, with the next one set for 2005 at the Darlington nu- clear plant in Clarington. A report on Thurs- day’s exercise will be prepared by the Region and Province and be ready in around nine or 10 months, Mr. Salter estimated. Region prepares for the unthinkable Iter decision needed now Slow death by neglect unkindest of all If the federal cabinet's economic committee really thinks no one will notice as Canada's bid to host ITER in Clar- ington quietly fades into oblivion due to a 'non-decision' in Ottawa, they are very much mistaken. Take note elected officials, all of Durham and Northum- berland along with the business, science and labour commu- nities of the entire province, and country, are watching. Closely. Dr. Murray Stewart, the head of Canada's delegation at in- ternational talks on ITER (International Thermonuclear Ex- perimental Reactor) says he does not believe the intent of the committee is to simply let the clock run out on Canada's bid to host the multi-billion energy research facility. But the re- ality is, everything suggests the international partners, which include all the G-8 countries, are poised to choose a site for the energy research project in the first week of December. It will be the successful culmination of years of international negotiations between the world's most influential countries. But for the past year, Canada's negotiators have been at- tending these meetings with their hands tied behind their back following the federal government decision to pull this country's bid off the table for retooling in December 2002. Meanwhile, the bids by Spain, France and Japan to host ITER have been benefiting from aggressive marketing and the strong negotiating positions of those governments. Back last December, the feds had promised a decision by March and many of us eagerly waited. As March turned to April and then to May and June, we got worried, knowing a site selection was imminent. Only the feds failed to take heed of the timelines. As a community, we mailed postcards, wrote letters and sent information kits to every MP in Canada. Local politicians, academics, union and business leaders went on a trade mission, with a twist. This was an economic tour de force that never left the country, focusing efforts on the Hill to make absolute sure the incredible benefits of a successful ITER bid, were clearly understood. It all seemed to be for naught as more foot-dragging ensued. There are no excuses for the indecision that has followed. We are told by all accounts that for the past several months, local MPs (the exception being Ivan Grose) have been very supportive of ITER. But that has not resulted in action. And at this point, the eleventh hour of the eleventh hour, nothing but unconditional support will do. The time to act was yes- terday but today is better than never. Marc Hall raises philosophical questions TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: Re: ‘Catholic board will still face Marc Hall case next term,' Oct. 8, 2003. Marc Hall was initially barred from at- tending his prom, then allowed to partic- ipate as the result of a court decision. He brought a boyfriend, not a girlfriend. Philosophical questions arise. The Durham Catholic District School Board, in its wisdom, as dictated by its unified collective conscience, still stands firm in its original decision to bar same- sex couples from proms. But is some- thing approaching hypocrisy creeping in? One thing for sure: the Catholic Church and Evangelical Christians are both firmly entrenched in the mutually agreed belief God loves the sinner. But I'm not so sure the church does. Mr. Hall, many believe, feels excluded and ostracized, feelings that are not sup- posed to happen within the church, ac- cording to Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Meagher. The decision to litigate the matter, suggests otherwise. If one is a member of any religious or- ganizations, or for that matter, any secu- lar group, and is serious about seeking fulfilment of spiritual needs, then one plays by the rules. If one can't, then per- haps it's time to move on. The case is about morality, not legality. Let's hope the court sees it that way. JJ..

AP PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Like millions of mothers and grandmothers before me, I looked into the shining eyes of my new-born granddaughter and saw the promise of a bright future. She was fortunate enough to be born into a loving family, in a coun- try that has never seen war or ter- rorism on its soil. However, such is not the case for many children around the world. Some have the misfortune of being born in a coun- try where murder and mayhem in the streets, where they live, is a common occurrence. What did the mother and grand- mother see in the eyes of their new- born baby on the day a Palestinian female suicide bomber was born? Did they see a bright future in a land where all people would be treated fairly, no matter what their heritage or religion? Did they hope for justice in a complicated world where their future was in the hands of leaders blinded by prejudice and concern only for themselves? What lessons did a young girl learn along the way from her moth- er's arms to a crowded beach restaurant, where she detonated enough explosives to kill herself and 18 other people? Here in Canada, we are about as far-removed from the problems in the Middle East as is possible. Maybe if I lived in that troubled land, I would understand what dri- ves an educated young woman to commit such a horrific crime. As she sat in that restaurant prepar- ing to unleash her terrible carnage, did she look at the faces of the chil- dren around her? Their innocence must have been apparent as they enjoyed a simple outing with their mothers, fathers and grandpar- ents? Or did she close her eyes and think only of herself and her own reasons for the choice she was making? Somehow, I think no mat- ter where I lived and no matter what I had seen, I would never be able to understand the twisted well of emotions that leads a person to commit such a cruel and senseless act. It seems we are becoming so used to seeing and hearing about bombings and other carnage, we are almost immune to it now. Late- ly, there are more innocent people than ever being brutally murdered. What will it take to end the wars, to end the prejudice and short-sight- edness that seems prevalent in so many places around the world? So many questions, so few answers. As long as leaders fail to take re- sponsibility for their actions and the actions of groups of terrorists living in their countries and as long as they look only for retaliation in- stead of answers, the killing will continue. In the words of Ghandi, "An eye for an eye will make the world blind." Terrorists motives shock this grandmother EEddiittoorriiaallss &&OOppiinniioonnss FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2003 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ JACQUIE MCINNES, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Letters to the Editor DDiiaannee RRuunncciimmaann oo pp ii nn ii oo nn ss hh aa pp ee rr BByy MMiikkee RRuuttaa Staff Writer PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG — Durham residents are invited to join the Hindu community in celebrating Diwali. “This is the major festival in the Hindu calendar,” says Ramdaye Sonny, a spokesman for the Devi Mandir temple in Pickering. She explains that Diwali is com- monly referred to as the Festival of Lights. It is celebrated each year dur- ing the fall month that Hindus call Karthika, on the 15th day of the dark fortnight, considered the darkest night of the year. This year it is Oct. 24th. Ms. Sonny says Diwali means many things to the millions of people who mark it. In some parts of the world, it marks the harvest season and the approach of winter. Common to all celebrations is a display of lights. “Small earthen oil lamps, called diyas, are lit and placed inside as well as outside the home; gifts are ex- changed and the poor are fed,” she says. “It is a festival of happiness, joy, splendour and light.” The festival has its origins in Hindu scriptures, which tell the story of Rama, eldest son of the great King Dashratha, says Ms. Sonny. An incarnation of God, and chosen to take his father’s place, Rama was exiled after his father was forced to name another of his son’s king. Dur- ing his exile, Rama destroyed evil and unrighteousness. When he returned home, the people lit lamps along the way to welcome Rama, his wife, Sita, and brother Lakshmana. Thus the lit diya symbolizes the dispelling of dark qualities like greed and hate, replaced by good qualities like love, compassion and service to humanity. Diwali will be marked with a reli- gious service starting at 7 p.m. tonight (Oct. 24) at the temple, locat- ed at 2590 Brock Rd. in Pickering. It will end with a small fireworks display at 9 p.m. Ms. Sonny says the following evening is more a celebration, featur- ing a concert, singing and dancing, and food from 7 to 11 p.m. All are welcome on both nights.

Tw o-time speeder leads ticket parade DDUURRHHAAMM — A motorist stopped twice in a three-kilo- metre stretch in Port Perry was among the worst of- fenders nabbed during a three-day traffic safety blitz across the region, Durham Regional Police say. The Traffic Services Branch issued 535 tickets, 428 for speeding, during the enforcement project last week that targeted high-collision areas in Clarington, north Durham and Oshawa. Mo torists were also cited for violations such as failing to stop at stop signs and red lights, not wearing seat- belts and failing to produce driving documents. The worst speeder was clocked 52 km/h above the posted 50-km/h limit. Police say the initiatives are year-round, and the next starts Nov. 19. This Week ● Canadian Statesman ● NEWS ADVERTISER ● Times-Journal ● durhamregion.com A proud supporter of literacy initiatives BByy CCrryyssttaall CCrriimmii Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM - More than 100 passengers riding the Yo rk-Durham Heritage Railway train got an unex- pected stop Sunday when the rear engine derailed. No injuries were report- ed, but about 800 railway ties were ruined, causing thousands of dollars in damage, says William Cor- rigan, vice president of the Yo rk-Durham Heritage Railway. When the locomotive left the tracks, the crew stopped the train and dis- engaged the rear engine, and the Stouffville-to- Uxbridge trip resumed. Passenger Ants Sulev said those aboard heard rattling before the train was stopped. “We noticed a bit of shaking,” he said, but when the train stopped he thought it was only squeaking brakes. When passengers were told what had happened, he said, everyone was calm. “It was just one of those fun excursions,” Mr. Sulev added, who had taken the train for his first time. He said during the half hour stop, the passengers stayed seated or went to the refreshment stand. “The smaller kids said ‘the train is off the tracks, the train is off the tracks,’” laughed Mr. Sulev. “It was intriguing, especially for the youngsters, they were wide-eyed.” The engine is still sit- ting among sliced ties. “The train dragged (the engine) 100 yards or more before it stopped,” said Mr. Corrigan. “We don’t know really why it happened yet, we’re investigating,” he added. The Moraine Train uses two engines for the run, one to pull it to Stouffville, the other back to Uxbridge. When it de- railed around 1:30 p.m. and the train was stopped, the rear engine was left behind, said Mr. Corrigan. Once the train was mov- ing again, passengers were taken back to Uxbridge. Those who had came from the Stouffville station were taken by train to Goodwood and driven in cars and vans to their parked vehicles. “We had quite a few peo- ple to get back,” said Mr. Corrigan, noting there were about 50 passengers heading back to Stouf- fville. The derailed engine will continue to sit just west of Goodwood until equipment can be brought from Toronto to put it back on the tracks. Luckily, the train was on its last Stouffville- Uxbridge run for the sea- son, Mr. Corrigan added, and its upcoming special events such as the Hal- loween, Christmas, and Murder Mystery dinner runs only go to Good- wood. The tracks are owned by GO Transit and although the Heritage Railway As- sociation has insurance, Mr. Corrigan is still inves- tigating who will pay for damages. GO does not run any trains on the track. The train derailed about five years ago when the Moraine Train began doing passenger trips and with help from companies providing supplies, the minor damage was re- paired. The Moraine Train is made of vintage railway cars, some 80 years old, hauled by 50-year-old diesel locomotives. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 PAGE 11 A/P Repairs, Parts, Bags, for Any Vacuum.

Carl Ferencz/ News Advertiser photo durhamregion.com BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM —An Oshawa woman has been charged with criminal negli- gence in the death of a Durham Re- gional Police court security officer. Dan Lee, a 23-year-old Port Perry man, was killed in a two-vehicle crash Aug. 7 on Simcoe Street North in Oshawa. Police said Mr. Lee, of Rosa Street, was southbound when his Chevy Blazer was sideswiped by a northbound Buick that crossed the centre line, north of Raglan. The Blazer rolled over and Mr. Lee was ejected from the sport utility ve- hicle. He later died in hospital from his injuries. Mr. Lee was hired by DRP in Jan- uary as a civilian special constable and planned to train to be a police officer, colleagues said. Sergeant Tim Whiteway, head of the Traffic Services Unit, said inves- tigators spoke with more than a dozen independent witnesses, who saw the collision or provided back- ground information about the sec- ond driver. “Various witness accounts, nu- merous citizens who have come for- ward with relevant information and the totality of the evidence from the scene have led us to this charge,” Sgt. Whiteway said.

(905) 723-5211 BByy CCaarrllyy FFoosstteerr Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM - In the true spirit of getting what you give, a local family is being honoured with a vol- unteer of the year award for their dedication to the YMCA of Durham. Rick and Carolyn McCutcheon, along with their sons, William, 10 and Matthew, 8, are re- cipients of the award in the family category, which honours the most active family in all of the Greater Toronto Area, from Mississauga, to Yo rk Region to Muskoka. “I’ve been with the ‘Y’ for 20 years and seen a lot of families, but when you look at the magni- tude of what the McCutcheons have done...both by Rick at the advisory level and Carolyn at the program and special events level, it was a nat- ural,” said Jim Weller, the general manager of the Durham YMCA who nominated the Whitby family. “It (the award) is very prestigious.” Mr. McCutcheon is chair of the fundraising committee, chair of the advisory council for Durham, and the Durham representative on the GTA board. He’s been a member of the YMCA at various locations across Ontario since 1978. Mrs. McCutcheon became a volun- teer fitness instructor after joining the Durham YMCA three years ago. She also helps fundraise by organizing an annual retro dance and silent auction. Both William and Matthew are active mem- bers in fitness and after school programs, and volunteer at events and the YMCA float in the Christmas parade. What the McCutcheons appreciate about the ‘Y’ is how it mirrors their own family values. “It’s about being honest, being caring, being inclusive and being healthy,” Mrs. McCutcheon said. “We feel good about being there. “By us not accepting money, it’s giving some- one else an opportunity to be a member,” she said. “It looks like a great big gym, but it’s a charitable organization, not matter who walks through the door.” The award is not just for them as a family, but a tribute to the 220 volunteers at the Durham YMCA, Mrs. McCutcheon added. The family will receive the recognition in To ronto Thursday evening at a gala reception by the YMCA of Greater Toronto.

Whether you have caught the fall market or are waiting until spring to move, the problem is the same - the accumulation of unwanted stuff. Most items can be some- one else’s treasure whether or not they need a little re- pairing. One will find cans and bot- tles of old paints and glues all of which are classified as Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and should be taken to Miller Waste’s HHW depot on Squires Beach Road. Scraps of paper and old shoe boxes, for example, are recyclable and can also be taken to Miller’s facility if you missed your recycling pick- up day. Old spices and forgotten foods are composted. If you do not have time to deal with consignment shops or hold a garage sale, then the following will be of help: • Bags of clothes can be dropped off at any number of clothing boxes located throughout the area; • As you wrap ornaments and pack books, etc., set un- wanted ones aside for chari- table organizations such as St. Martin’s ‘New to You’ monthly sale fund-raisers; • Worn towels and bedding can be bagged and dropped off at any animal clinic. Old rags are welcomed by auto mechanics • For furniture, contact this column’s ‘Treasure Chest’; list articles on Picker- ing’s new Materials Ex- change feature on the city’s We b site www.cityofpicker- ing.com or call one of the or- ganizations that pick up fur- niture for sale to Value Vil- lage; • Perhaps the new owners may want that extra chair, desk or small fridge you would like to leave behind; • While unleashing the garage and workshop horrors - box all twisted coat hang- ers, old pots, rusty nails, bro- ken metal lawn chairs and other scrap metal and take along with the HHW to Miller Waste; • Broken electronics and drywall can be taken to Durham Region’s transfer station in Oshawa for recy- cling. Drywall can also be taken to Can Sort on Toy Avenue in Pickering for recycling. Note that drywall is still consid- ered waste at Miller. Remember that empty aerosol cans and paint tins with lids removed, waxed gable-topped milk/juice car- tons, drinking boxes, rigid aluminum foil and all plastic bottles with a screw top that you find in your garage are now included in your blue box collection. If your are moving to an area such as Northumberland, you can bag margarine tubs, Styrofoam, and plastic bags with other plastic film and toss in your truck to take to your new recycling depot. L ast minute clean-up will un- doubtedly bring you over the four bag limit; however, take time to drive HHW, scrap metal and recy- clables, all free of charge, to Miller Waste. With a little extra effort to relo- cate other items, you may find that moving need not be an excuse to put out a lot more garbage than usual.

The first step, find a picture or photograph that recalls a happy trip or vacation. Select the dominant colour in that picture as the paint colour for your room. For example, a trip to a resort or cottage can be recollected by using the blue of the sky as your dominant colour, with the green of the surrounding trees as the accent colour. With colours it’s all about adjusting perceptions. A paint colour can actually change our perception of the size and shape of a room itself. The right colour in the right place for example, can make a room appear larger and brighter, or more intimate and less empty. It can even make a long and narrow room look more square-shaped, or vice-versa. Here’s a general guideline offered by the paint experts at Sico: To make a room appear: • Larger: use a pale colour to create the impression that the walls are further away. • Brighter: use a pale shade, like a light yellow. • Smaller: use a dark colour to make the room more intimate and less empty. Reds and earth shades for example, give the impression that walls are closer to us. To change the perception of room shape: • Long and narrow to square: paint the shorter walls in a darker colour than the longer ones. • Square to long and narrow: paint the two facing wa lls you wish to look longer in a lighter colour. To choose a finish: According to Dominique Pépin, senior brand manager at Sico and member of the Colour Marketing Group, flat paints add richness and depth to the colour of your room. “Today, even high-traffic household areas like hallways, playrooms, bathrooms and kitchens can hold up easily with a lower gloss, but washable paint.” For more information and advice on painting and decor visit the sico.ca web site. -News Canada How to customize your decor with colour THERAPEUTIC ~ RELAXING ~ HYDOTHERAPY ALL IN-STOCK SPAS READY FOR IMMEDIATE INSTALLATION DIPLOMAT POOLS & SPAS Serving the GTA since 1971 HOT TUBS • INGROUND POOLS • ABOVE GROUND POOLS STARTING FROM 637 KINGSTON RD.

Trisha Romance meets fans after a decade away BByy JJaaccqquuiiee MMccIInnnneess Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ——In 1992 well- known Canadian painter, Trisha Romance, toured the country to promote a book she thought was just another highlight in an artistic career that had seemed destined to reach greater and greater heights. But just a year later everything changed when she was stricken with a de- bilitating illness that over- took her life and forced her to stop working and touring for an entire decade. "It continues to slow me down. There is no cure for what I have," says Ms. Ro- mance today. A brain and heart disorder pulled her away from the two most important things in her life, her work and her fam- ily, she says. Her children, Nathan, 24, Tanya, 20 and Whitney, 16 "have had to grow up pretty fast," as they shared in her battle with the disease, she says. "When I look back at some of the old newspaper re- leases, back when it was f irst discovered, they were pretty young." But now, learning to control the debilitating ef- fects of the disease to a more manageable level has allowed Ms. Romance to regain some of her old life, and passions, once again. With a new painting and "trust in God" to get her through, Ms. Romance is undertaking a limited engagement tour across Canada, stopping in just 21 g alleries along the way, including Classic Arrange- ments in Ajax on Nov. 6 and Framers Gallery, Port Perry on Nov. 13. Both en- gagements will run from 7 to 9 p.m. "You wouldn't believe the excitement around this. There is such a huge excitement I can't help get wrapped up in it," says Ms. Romance of the response she has had to news of the tour, which began in Cal- gary in mid-October. "The phone's been ringing off the hook. They are expect- ing a lot of people," she says. In fact, says Radica Gulab of Classic Arrange- ments, as many as 600 people are expected to at- tend Ms. Romance's visit to Ajax. "We are blessed," says Ms. Gulab. "It's our 14th anniversary and this is a perfect way to cele- brate it." This latest painting is an autumn piece inspired by her home at Niagara- on-the Lake. Fall is a sea- son, Ms. Romance says, she doesn't normally paint but, she adds, "All my chil- dren were born in the fall so there is a very special connection. The painting is overlooking the North River, it is me telling the children the story of their birth." The painting has been reproduced on 1,500 canvases and 14,000 prints, all hand-signed by the artist. Fans of Ms. Romance can follow her life through her work. Her first paint- ing was Speaking of Spring, released in 1978, painted while she lived in To ronto. It reflects the urban neighbourhood where she was living at the time during those first days of the new season. Trisha came to Canada from south of the border as a young adult. She was born in Western New York and moved to Canada in 19 69 to attend Sheridan College in Oakville, where she received a degree in design and illustration. Now, with a new tour and a new work, she is feeling more and more like herself these days and is excited to see her fans when she arrives in Durham. "I'm sure it will be like old times again," she says. Classic Arrangements is located at 240 Harwood St. S., Ajax. Framers Gallery is at 237 Queen St., Port Perry.

She comes to Ajax and Port Perry in November. Autumn provided the inspiration for Trish Romance’s newest painting, ‘Golden Momemts.’ Set against a scene from her hometown, it provides a nostalgic look back for the artist.

The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior 'A' Hockey League team, fresh off a win over the Huntsville Wildcats on Sunday, put in another solid effort against the Oshawa Legionaires at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium. Although they didn't get the victory, settling for a single point after suffering a 6-5 overtime loss to the host Legionaires, the Axe- men still had lots of positives to dwell on. Most of those positives cen- tred on the contributions of a bunch of newcomers to the Axe- men line-up, brought in to bol- ster an injury-riddled club that has struggled mightily through October. Up until Sunday's home win over the equally inept and winless Huntsville squad, the Ajacians had endured a nine- game losing streak. But, earning three points in the past two games has provided a brief respite from the Axemen's current woes. Axemen head coach Larry Labelle says the five new players brought aboard have played a role in helping to bring the club out of its doldrums. Labelle made special note of Matt Mason, purchased from the North Conference's Couchiching Terriers, who showed up just be- fore game time Tuesday night. The veteran player was a steady- ing influence on the ice, and con- tributed a point. "He brought what we thought he could bring to the ice," says Labelle. "He brought some matu- rity to the ice. Not knowing the guys, he had a very good game." Defenceman Andrew DiGio- vanni, acquired last week from the Cobourg Cougars of the league's Eastern Conference, also proved to be a valuable ad- dition, seeing time on the team's second power play unit with de- fenceman Steve Brouwer. "The power play is much better with him out there," says Labelle. Most positive for the Axemen, however, is its never-say-die atti- tude, which served them well on Tuesday. Despite trailing by two goals on two occasions in the contest, the Ajacians battled back to tie the game. Labelle says his charges must be willing to give 100-per cent ef- fort in order to have any chance against older, more experienced competition in the league. "It's when we don't give 100 per cent that we lose by four or five goals. A team like this has to give 10 0 per cent just to be in the game," says Labelle. Oshawa's game-winning goal, off the stick of Mike Griffin mid- way through the five-minute overtime frame, came off an odd- man rush, with Ajax applying pressure in the Legionaires' zone. After playing to a 1-1 draw at the end of the first period, Os- hawa broke out on top 3-2 after 40 minutes. In the third, Oshawa led 5-3 before Ajax replied with two goals, including the equaliz- er by Piccone with 47 seconds re- maining, to send the game into overtime. Joseph Piccone scored twice for Ajax; Adam Fabino, Lucas Labelle and Matt Harris were the other marksmen. Assists went to Jeremy Hmura and Dan Bouch- ner each with two, Andrew Fa gan, Fabino, DiGiovanni, Jor- dan Weinberg and Mason, all with one. The Axemen play tonight (Fri- day) in Toronto against the St. Michael's Buzzers. On Saturday, they play the Wexford Raiders at the Ajax Community Centre at 3 p.m. On Sunday, the Vaughan Vipers are in town for a 3 p.m. game.

It took the Whitby school three overtime frames to sub- due the Dunbarton High School Spartans of Pickering 1-0 in the Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) final played at J. Clarke Richardson Secondary School in Ajax. After two seven-minute over- time frames, the teams pro- ceeded to a third extra frame, this one a 10-minute sudden- death period. Early in the stanza, the hard-working Celtics finally caught a break. Kristen Miller's long corner came to Courtney Knaggs at the side of the Dunbarton net. She promptly tapped in the ball and the celebration was on. The victory was the Celtics third consecutive LOSSA title and the third time they will represent Durham Region at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association (OFSAA) Girls' Field Hockey Championships in Exeter, near London, Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1. Celtics' coach Susan Shoe- maker gave credit to both teams for a solid exhibition of field hockey, especially lauding the defensive play of her Celtics and the Spartans. "It was an outstanding game by both teams. We were tightly matched with great defence by both teams making it go to overtime," says Shoemaker, who's assisted on the sidelines by co-coach Mariette Rozon. Shoemaker noted she and her players knew they were in for a long, defensive struggle against the Spartans, who found a way to bend, but not break, in keeping the constant- ly attacking Celtics at bay. "We actually expected it to be a long game," says Shoe- maker. "We thought it could definitely go to overtime, but we had confidence that with all the scoring opportunities, we could convert on one of them." Even though Dunbarton held the balance of play for most of the first half, Sinclair didn't lose heart. They collect- ed themselves at the break and proceeded to put pressure on the Dunbarton defence through the second half and on into the three overtime pe- riods. In fact, the Celtics were the recipients of at least a dozen short corners — the field hock- ey equivalent of a power play — in the game, but didn't take advantage of their opportuni- ties. "We were definitely down there (in the Dunbarton end), but we couldn't get the ball in the net," says Shoemaker. Despite the loss, Dunbarton coach Linda Correia praised her players for a solid game and for a successful season on the field. "I don't think I've ever been as proud of a team as these g uys," says Correia. "We came a long way throughout the year and they never gave up. They were a pleasure to coach." "It could have gone either way; we had our chances," she added. The Celtics will now move on to the 16-team OFSAA cham- pionships. And, Shoemaker is expecting her veteran squad to have a better showing at the provincial high school show- case than in previous years. After going winless two years ago, and winning a game at last year's OFSAA event, Shoe- maker is hoping her Celtics can make it out of the round- robin portion and qualify for the playoffs. The Celtics advanced to the LOSSA final against Dunbar- ton after blanking the Picker- ing High School Trojans 5-0 in the semifinal contest Monday. Kim McLeod, Maari Wother- spoon, Katie Scott and Amy Bergstrom scored for Sinclair. Goaltender Ariana Graham recorded the shutout. Meanwhile, the Spartans qualified for the LOSSA cham- pionship with a 2-1 win over- time victory over the J. Clarke Richardson Storm, also on Monday. Haley Reeve netted the over- time winner for Dunbarton. Nicole Zorn scored in regula- tion time. The Celtics are unbeaten so far this season with a mark of 5-0-1 with no goals allowed during the LOSSA regular sea- son. They claimed the champi- onship in a tournament in To r onto earlier this season. The Spartans end their sea- son with a mark of 4-2-1.

Catch Lightning if you can Durham West peewees set the bar high, despite early-season injuries DDUURRHHAAMM ——The Durham West Lightning peewee 'AA' girls' rep hockey team is staking its claim as the team to beat in Ontario this season. And, this year's version of the L ightning peewees has some big shoes to fill. Last season, the Durham peewees started strong with eight wins in their f irst 10 games and went on to win the silver medal at the provincials. So far this season, the pee- wees are 10-0 in league and tournament play, scoring a whopping 42 goals and allowing a mere three against. They have pounded the opposition goalies with 221 shots so far and have allowed a paltry 63 shots to get through to goaltender Kim Caggiula who has earned seven shutouts along the way. What makes the Lightning's solid start more surprising is that they have not had a full squad all year, missing key players through injury and sick- ness. The Telus Solid Goal Tourna- ment was the first major event of the season. The Durham West peewees fought their way to the final against the rival Wil- lowdale Red Wings but, in doing so, lost several key personnel to injuries. Out of the final were: Kaitlyn Hill with a broken thumb, Rachel O'Connor sick in bed, and Christiana Paterson recov- ering from knee surgery. Lane Farrell suited up, although she played with a sprained wrist. The Lightning seemed des- tined to come up short in the f inal with the spate of injuries. Surprisingly, Durham West came out flying in the first peri- od, outshooting the Red Wings 14-2. Elisabeth Stathopolous opened the scoring early in the f irst period. Stathopolous got her second of the game in the third period as the Lightning scored an improbable 2-0 victo- ry to secure the championship banner. The Red Wings were smoth- ered by the strong defensive play of Gillian Clayton, Madi- son Reeves, Allannah Wakefield and Kailey Chappell in the f inal. Caggiula was called upon to make 11 saves for her fourth shutout of the tournament. The semifinals started strong but the injury-riddled Light- ning couldn't find the twine hit- ting three posts. They were, however, able to hang on for a 1- 0 victory over a spirited Oakville team to earn a birth in the finals. The Lightning won their pool with victories over Chatham 8- 0, Etobicoke 5-0 and handing London their first loss in a 2-1 Durham West victory. During the tournament, Hill and Stathopolous led the L ightning with four goals apiece, while Kendra Seto popped in three. Farrell, Stacey Damiani and Chappell each popped in two goals. Wakefield added a single. Jessica Ronald, Britney Sulli- van and Clayton showed great playmaking skills, adding sever- al assists each for the Lightning on the weekend. Dino Caggiula, Greg Chap- pell, Geoff Reeves, Ken Seto and Tim Wakefield coach the team. Trainers are Drina Hill and Liane Ronald, and the manager is Tony Damiani. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 PAGE 33 A/P P PAGE 34 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 24, 2003 www.durhamregion.com If you would like to nominate a Woman of Distinction call 416-961-8100/ext. 344 or visit our website at www.ywcator.org Media Sponsor 24th Annual YWCA Women of Distinction Awards CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Sept. 1st-Nov. 1st, 2003 On May 20th, 2004, The YWCA Toronto will honour six women and one young woman (17- 24 yrs. old) for their exceptional contributions to improving the lives of women and girls.

I always have my papers delivered by 6 o’clock p.m. and I always have my papers delivered in a safe and dry place, such as in a mailbox. If the mailbox is full, I place the paper carefully between the doors on doormats. On rainy days, I always put the papers in bags and put a cover on my buggy. On my first collection I was very successful! The main keys are speaking clearly, telling the customer it is voluntary and saying “have a nice day” as I leave. I have really gotten to know all of my customers and that really helps too. I have learned how to manage my money.

In the championship game Picker- ing lost 7-0 to a talented Oshawa team after posting a 2-0-1 record to reach the finals. The Panthers rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the first game to come out with a hard earned tie against Os- hawa, 4-4. The goal scorers were Cor- rado Gianfriddo, Jay Boychuck and David Mott with a pair. Assists were notched by Dylan Banks, Glen Mur- phy, Brian Smith, Gianfriddo with two and Carter Finlayson with three. The Panthers notched a hard- fought victory in the second game led by solid goaltending by Daniel Tomei and scoring by Mott and Smith. The 2-1 win over the Sudbury Red Wings featured an all-around ef- fort; Gianfriddo assisted the opener by Mott who continued his offensive prowess with an assist with Louis Del Re on the game-winner by Smith. Pickering dominated the Valley East Rebels in the third game skat- ing to a 4-0 shutout by Blake Cluff. Del Re was involved in all of the goal- scoring with a goal and three assists. Other scorers were Finlayson, Bran- don Weiser and Michael Straub and assists went to Gianfriddo, Fin- layson, Murphy, Mott and Straub. The tournament success was rounded out by steady defence by Charles Dorey, Zack Munn and Michael Hood and An- drew Brownlee added solid two-way play. Missing from the line-up was David Whorpole due to injury. The Panthers currently have a 2-3 record in the regular season.
