Durham taxes up by $84 Final tax bill hike adds up to eight per cent DURHAM —Residential tax- payers here will see the Regional portion of their property tax bill increase by roughly $84 this year, Durham councillors heard Wednesday. Although Durham council ap- proved a budget earlier this month that accounts for an aver- age tax increase of 5.9 per cent for residential taxpayers, finance commissioner Jim Clapp told councillors Wednesday the over- all increase to homeowners this year will be approximately eight per cent due to assessment changes and new government legislation. See SUSPECT page 4 More charges in Pine Ridge shooting Police allege man contacted victim BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —Detectives in- vestigating last month’s shooting during a pickup basketball game at a Pickering high school have charged an 18-year-old Ajax man with attempting to obstruct jus- tice for allegedly contacting the victim. The latest development in the attempted-murder case occurred Tuesday when Durham Regional Police homicide detectives arrest- ed the Ajax man as part of contin- uing investigating into the April 3 shooting of Teran Richards. The 22-year-old Ajax man was shot during a game at Pine Ridge Secondary School after a fight between opposing players broke out in the gymnasium. Witnesses and police said Mr. Richards was trying to act as “peacemaker” when a spectator pulled a gun and shot him four times from close range.

(Durham Centre) 686-7089 The Centennial College student suffered major injuries, including damage to vital organs, but has been making an amazing recovery and was recently released from hospital. A stray bullet also grazed the face of a 15-year-old girl, police said. Two men were arrested and charged - another suspect got away — following a police pursuit and colli- sion in north Pickering a short time after the shooting. A .45-calibre semi-automatic hand- gun and .357 revolver were recovered. Police said a man interfered with the administration of justice by re- cently contacting a witness in the case — Mr. Richards. “The context of the message dealt with the case and the victim was very, very concerned,” said Detective John Allen, without elaborating. Andrew Martinborough, of Weekes Drive in Ajax was arrested and charged with attempting to obstruct justice. Mr. Martinborough was also charged with possession of a con- trolled substance for the purpose of trafficking in relation to nine baggies, each containing one gram of marijua- na, seized during his arrest. He was remanded in custody dur- ing a brief court appearance Thursday and is scheduled to return for a bail hearing today (Friday). Marlon Maragh, 21, of Scarbor- ough, meanwhile is charged with at- tempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges in the shooting. Tyshan Riley, 18, also of Scarbor- ough, also faces various weapons of- fences.

The Region- al budget in- crease for 2001 accounts for roughly $63 of the total in- crease, he noted. The addi- tional $21 in- crease is a re- sult of the re- cent property reassessments and govern- ment legisla- tion. Individual property tax bills are deter- mined by mul- tiplying the current value assessment of a property by the property tax rate, which is impacted by municipal taxa- tion policies, budget require- ments and the new provincial policies intro- duced in Bill 140, also known as the ‘Continued Protection for Property Tax- payers Act, 2000’. The new legislation, which came into effect last December, in- troduced a new protection pro- gram that limits tax increases for the multi- residential, in- dustrial and commercial classes. Under that legislation, tax increases re- sulting from re- assessment are limited to five per cent of the preceding year’s taxes for those classes. The legisla- tion also in- cludes a ‘hard cap’ that pre- vents munici- palities from increasing property taxes for the multi- residential, commercial and industrial classes if the existing local tax ratio on that class is higher than a threshold set by the Province. In the industrial class, Mr. Clapp said that resulted in a $1- million shortfall, which had to be picked up by residential tax- payers. He noted there was also a limit on the increase for multi- residential taxpayers that result- ed in a further $2 million short- fall, which is being passed on to residential taxpayers across Durham this year.

Organ donation a lovely, selfless gift To the editor: Re: ‘One girl, seven gifts,’May 2. It is with a great deal of warmth in my heart that I find myself writing this letter. The selflessness and kindness that the Menard family has shown in donating their precious little girl’s organs is too over- whelming for words. To think wee Jordan now will live on in the hearts and bodies of other deserving souls is what I would hope this life is about. Situations such as this give us pause to stop and realize how very important organ donation is. This ‘angel’ will live on in the hearts and bodies of those whose need has presented itself. I feel it must be a wonder- ful thing for her generous family to know that even though she is no longer with them in ‘body’, she certainly lives on in ‘spirit’ and ‘soul’. What a lovely thing. Hopefully, this is at least some comfort to them during an otherwise very difficult time. My heart goes out to them and to the memory of a lit- tle soul who touched many lives in her short time on this earth.

It means we produced 30 per cent less waste than the provincial aver- age. But we still generate about 200,000 tonnes of waste every year. Less than 20 per cent of our garbage is recycled, and less than 10 per cent is composted which means over 70 per cent goes to landfill. Edmonton on the other hand has managed to di- vert 70 per cent of its garbage away from landfill. To me, recycling, reusing and re- ducing are a great challenge. On garbage day, I put out one can of garbage and two blue boxes. Perhaps I take a bit too much pride in that. You might even say, “this gal needs a life” but wait until I tell you about my worms. During a casual conversation re- cently, I was discussing how well my vermicomposter was working. “Ver- micomposter” my friend replied, “what’s that?” Perhaps I should have realized it isn’t a household word; ‘spell- check’ doesn’t recognize it either. “Well,” I went on to explain, “they’re the worms I keep in a bin in my kitchen that eat our food scraps and produce compost.” From her reac- tion, I now know having ‘red wig- glers’ in my kitchen may not be en- tirely normal. However, they smell a lot better than the garbage and pro- vide my son with a ready supply of fishing bait. Now maybe I do take this stuff a bit too seriously, but we are running out of places to put our garbage. Each family in Canada produces over 5,000 pounds per year, the bulk of which is buried but not gone. More extensive recycling for items such as other plastics, Tetra Paks, metal, and small appliances, would save valuable resources from being wasted and ultimately taking up space in landfills. These initiatives are available in other areas, but are very costly. Durham is considering a curbside or- ganics pickup program because backyard composting is not very popular (let alone worms in your kitchen). I would rather see more people compost at home and save the money for other projects. Facts to impress your in-laws with: Canadians use 55 million gro- cery bags every week and cut down 40,000 trees every day for newspa- pers. We are amongst the highest raw material consumers in the world. We are leaders in energy con- sumption and the creation of green- house gasses. We recycle only 60 per cent of paper and 50 per cent of re- cyclable plastics. What can we do about it? Well if you are not yet ready to commit to the adventure of worms in the kitchen, then getting a backyard composter is a good place to start.

No matter where you live in this fine region of ours, you’re looking at a substantial property tax increase. Start with your own local municipality and its tax jump of 6.5 per cent in Ajax and 9.8 per cent in Pickering. But that’s only the beginning. The Region has now weighed in with its own tax hike of at least 8 per cent when assessment and new provincial guidelines are factored in. Homeowners should take note they will be on the hook for capped increases to industrial ($1 million in taxes) and multi-residential/commercial owners ($2 million in taxes). Residential owners are making up that $3 million shortfall, as a result of provincial legislation that forces local governments to comply. Quite a difference from all those ‘zero-tax increase’budgets we had come to expect year in, year out. To give credit where it’s due, regional and municipal politi- cians deserve our appreciation for making the tough choices throughout the 1990s to keep taxes in line. Finance committees looked under every rock for every dollar they could find and trimmed and slashed where possible. It appears those days are now over. To hear Durham Regional Police Chief Kevin McAlpine tell it, there’s little doubt the police will be coming hat-in-hand to the Region looking for another $10 million next year. After all, the chief admitted the original police budget tar- get was in the neighbourhood of $92 million for the coming year. In the end, the police had to ‘settle’for about $82 million, up more than $10 million from what was doled out the previ- ous year. Policing is expensive and necessary to be sure, but right now the police are driving the regional budget and are the main reason for such a large tax increase. And they’ll be right there again next year. Other problems are still mounting and regional councillors are discovering there are fewer sources available to raise in- come. They’re left with finding the cash at the doorstep of each and every homeowner and there’s no sign this trend will change anytime soon. Years and years of tax freezes are in danger of quickly being eclipsed by years of massive tax increases (what goes down, must come up?). Our councillors will have to try harder than they ever have to keep increases down. We can only hope they’ll keep in mind it is our money and we’ve only got so much of it to pay in tax.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 25, 2001 PAGE 7 AP A/P PAGE 8 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 25, 2001 BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM - In the early 1990s, downsizing and restruc- turing became the buzzwords at hospitals and other health care facilities, causing many nurses to leave the country in search of jobs. Today, a decade later, hospi- tals, nursing homes and home care agencies would like to get those nurses back home. As the population ages and grows, creating a larger demand for nursing services, we’re in the midst of a nursing shortage. Health care facilities are desper- ately trying to woo back those nurses in foreign countries, re- tain those still working here and attract new recruits. “We can’t sit on our thumbs on this or we won’t have anyone to take care of people in the years to come,” said Janet Har- ris, executive director of Durham Access To Care, which co-ordinates home care ser- vices in Durham Region.“If we think we’re hitting problems in Durham today, then what on earth is it going to be like to- morrow.” She calls the nursing short- age “the biggest challenge” in health care. “It’s an international prob- lem,” said Janice Dusek, chief operating officer for Lakeridge Health Oshawa and Whitby.“If I’m not mistaken, over the next 10 years, there are going to be 110,000 nurses short in the country. “We’re feeling that shortage. We have vacancies. It’s an issue for Lakeridge Health.” Currently, Lakeridge Health Corporation, with hospitals in Oshawa,Whitby, Bowmanville, Port Perry and Uxbridge, has 653 full-time nurses and 724 part-time nurses. There were vacancies for 38 full-time and 75 part-time nurs- es as of the end of March. “It’s a tough period that we’re going through,” said Rhonda Lewis, human re- sources manager for the Ajax site of the Rouge Valley Health System. The Ajax site has about 440 nurses and about 50 to 60 va- cancies, she said.The hospital has the most trouble recruiting nurses for specialty areas, such as critical and intensive care and obstetrics, she said. But the highest vacancy is medical nursing, the entry-level position in nursing, she said. “The shortage is very se- vere,” said Linda Rath, co-ordi- nator of Local 51 of the Ontario Nurses Association and bar- gaining representative for nurs- es at Lakeridge Health Corpora- tion’s five sites. That shortage hits home all the time, she said. “Every day somebody’s working overtime. Every day units are working short one or two nurses a shift.They are stressed, overworked, overtired and they get sick and injured more easily,” she said.“The nurses don’t feel good about the care they are giving the pa- tients.” A provincial survey of nurs- es found 81 per cent believe their workload is unsafe enough to increase the risk of injury while 79 per cent believe under- staffing has reached the point where unsafe conditions exist for patients, she added. A poll of hospitals through- out Ontario would probably find many that have had to close wards and operating rooms. Lakeridge Health Oshawa has been trying to staff an ER over- flow unit but couldn’t get enough nurses to staff it, she said. “It’s threatening to be closed,” she said. Nurses in home care are paid less than those in hospi- tals, which has led to losses of staff at home care agencies, Ms. Harris said.To ensure, patients facing the highest risk are looked after properly, DATC has centralized its nursing referrals. All referrals come into DATC which then puts a priority on each case. Several factors combine for the nursing shortage. Not as many new nurses are coming into the field.The existing ones are getting older, with many nearing retirement or burning out because of stress.Then there’s the nurses who left for greener pastures and didn’t re- turn. The average age of nurses today is about 48, Ms. Dusek said.They’ve been working many years at a job that is physically and emotionally hard, she said. Even the mean age of new nurses is increasing, she said. Many nurses just starting out are in the late 20s or early 30s and nursing is a second ca- reer for them, she added. Persuading young people that nursing is a career for them isn’t as easy as it once was. “I’ve been a nurse for 25 years and that’s always been my spiel but boy it’s getting tough,” said Ms. Rath. Nurses are still working nights, shifts and every other weekend, she said. “Many kids today are smarter than we were.They say ‘I’m not working those hours for that money.’ It’s a hard sell but we have to keep trying.” She’s talked to many nurses who went to the States and they’re not about to return, she said. “They’re trying to recruit them back but they aren’t com- ing.They won’t come back here unless they get job security. There aren’t as many full-time jobs here and they’ll be lower seniority (if they come back.)” Nurses in the States get big bonuses to stay, bursaries for students, even apartments and furniture thrown in, she said. In some specialities, nurses can made between $70,000 and $90,000 U.S.The top salary here is $30.24 an hour Canadian, she said. Locally, health care facilities are competing against each other to retain and attract nurs- es, she added. Nurses hired for part-time work leave quickly when they find a full-time job elsewhere, she said. “It’s a buyers’ market,” agreed Ms. Dusek. At the Ajax hospital, a re- cruitment and retention task force has been in place for about a year, Ms. Lewis said. They’ve been working on a number of initiatives, including attending every job fair going and holding open houses (the last one yielded 375 resumes). There are training and continu- ing education improvements, a pilot custom scheduling pro- gram, increased leadership op- portunities and increased stu- dent presence, she said. At Lakeridge, there are simi- lar initiatives. Part-time jobs have been converted to full-time and a floating pool has been created, Ms. Dusek said.This al- lows nurses to work full-time, bring home full-time pay but they can work in a couple of dif- ferent departments where there are shortages, she said. Lak- eridge has also worked out con- tracts with nurses who prefer to work in certain areas, such as critical care and emergency. Money and bursaries are made available for nurses who want to take courses. Lakeridge is also working with Durham College to see if the number of student placements can be in- creased and if summer jobs are possible, Ms. Dusek said. Lakeridge is trying to make the work experience and atmos- phere better, she said. “I’m not saying we’re per- fect at it,” she added. The health care community in Durham has gotten together and is developing a strategy to address the shortage, Ms. Har- ris said. A consortium including Durham College, the Durham training board, the Durham Re- gion Health Care Group (hospi- tals and long-term care facili- ties, DATC) and the district health council are working on projections of future resource requirements in nursing and other health care fields.They’ll work on attracting new nurses and keeping existing ones, she said. Ms. Rath said funding is a big part of the solution. “I think there needs to be adequate funding for sure.They need to improve working condi- tions and job security.They need to respect nurses for the job they do, value them. It’s a tough profession,” she said.“I think people need to see long- term secure funding, long-term job security. Nurses love their jobs when they can give good patient care.When they can’t, they don’t feel good about their work.” Shortages, burnout face nursing profession DURHAM ––Lakeridge Health Oshawa Registered Practical Nurse Cariss Gibson charts pa- tients’vitals at a computer station. Durham, like many areas across the country, is currently deal- ing with a nursing shortage. WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo ® Pre-Cut Mats Hundreds of shapes, sizes and colors.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, May 25, 2001, PAGE 9 A/P PICKERING —A man is charged with break-and-enter after a homeowner awoke to find a naked intruder in his Faylee Crescent res- idence early Sunday. Durham Regional Police said a man broke into the home just prior to 3 a.m., defecated on a bedroom floor and assaulted the victim when confronted. The intruder fled and police were called. Of- ficers tried arresting a man found hiding be- tween two houses but a violent struggle ensued and he got away. A suspect was tracked to a nearby residence and arrested at gunpoint. Steven Kimberley, 22, of Faylee Crescent, is charged with assault, breaking and entering and assaulting police to resist arrest. AJAX —Five thugs wearing masks and bandanas jumped out of a car and chased down and stabbed a 16-year boy for no apparent rea- son Sunday night. Durham Regional Police said the victim and a friend, who is also 16, were walking along Delaney Drive at about 11:25 p.m. after watch- ing fireworks when a grey vehicle carrying five males stopped in front of them. The teens were pursued by their attackers and assaulted. One assailant pulled a long, sil- ver-bladed knife and began slashing one of the victims, who suffered wounds to his forehead, knee and elbow.

Alex Connor, manager of environ- mental health for the Region, reported the health department was contacted May 8 by a concerned resident who detected a smell coming from the gro- cery bags used at the Dominion Sav- A-Centre on Whites Road. “We sent out an inspector that af- ternoon,” Mr. Connor said, noting there was a musty smell coming from the white bags, which had red and black lettering imprinted on the plas- tic. Mr. Connor said the inspector “suggested to the store owner (the bags) be taken out of service and sent back to the supplier”. He added, “A very common form of bacteria had infiltrated the ink” on the bags, noting, “There was no health hazard of any kind.” Mr. Connor said the store has “taken steps to try and solve” the situation with the supplier in the United States. “The store co-operated really well,” he said. “The company was right on it.” Mr. Connor noted any time there is an odour it’s better to act on it as a precaution. “Bacteria don’t need much to live on,” he said. “It’s surprising what they can grow on.” Bill Sheine, spokesman for A and P Canada, which owns the Dominion store in Pickering, said Tuesday that the company has checked the bags at its other locations and the Whites Road store appears to have been an “isolated incident. “I’ve never come across this before,” he said, noting the company has used the same American supplier for 15 to 20 years. “It was definitely an ink problem.” Mr. Sheine said a water-based ink is used to imprint the store logos on the shopping bags. He noted that the bags from the Pickering store were pulled immedi- ately and said if a problem is reported in another store location “the bags will be dumped”.

On Feb. 1 around 5 a.m., three men en- tered the Mac’s Milk store at 893 Bayly St. in Pickering before one man produced a shotgun while the other two went behind the counter and demanded the store clerk open the safe. When the clerk said he couldn’t open the safe, one of the suspects began punch- ing him in the head and face. While one man held the clerk at gun- point and acted as a lookout, the other two took cash and cigarettes. The three men fled the scene on foot, but were captured on the store’s security video. All three suspects are described as black. One wore a dark blue hooded winter coat and the others wore long pants and coats that are described as dark on the bot- tom with white in the middle and possibly red on the top. All three of the suspects wore hoods in the robbery. Crime Stoppers will pay cash for any information leading to an arrest in this in- cident. Callers never have to give their name and Crime Stoppers does not use call display. Anyone with information about this crime, or any other crime, is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477 or 1-800- 222-TIPS.

Making its way across the country, is Petcetera’s philosophy “For the love of your pet.” “This is a one-stop shop that provides pet owners with the largest product selection and pet care programs and services no other store in Canada offers, says Founder, President and Chief Executive Offier Dan Urbani. Mr. Urbani is excited about the store’s grand opening this Saturday, May 26, at 9 am, when customers will be amazed by the innovative retail concept which is bright, airy and warm, offering consumers the ultimate in product assortment and customer satisfaction. Wide aisles and colour-coded signage provide convenience for everyone’s shopping experience. Mr. Urbani, who was born and raised in B.C. said he spent $1-million on research and development in 1996 when he began to visualize the first Petcetera. What he found was huge potential in Canada, where $2.6 billion is spent annually on pet products and services. With this in mind, Mr. Urbani began plans to open the first store in Vancouver and slowly moved across Canada. He has reached Ontario, and a total of 8 stores will open this year including locations in Hamilton, Ottawa, Kingston, Belleville, Newmarket, Oakville and Waterloo. Next year, Mr. Urbani plans to open another 10 to 15 stores throughout Canada and will move into Quebec by 2003. By 2005, Mr. Urbani hopes to have 100 stores in Canada. Petcetera’s headquarters are in B.C. and they employ 1,000 people across the country. “I can’t define the sheer personal benefits of starting with nothing and seeing 25 stores today,” the 36-year -old president said. “It’s amazing to watch the people around you personally grow and to be able to experience them become successful.” Petcetera locates in areas with a population base of more than 75,000 close to a mass merchandiser and grocery store, so the store is close and convenient for customers. In Ajax’s case, Petcetera is near Zellers, Loblaws and Costco so shoppers can easily make a trip into the pet store for their four-legged friends. Petcetera has many unique features with “For the love of your pet” in mind, explains Mr. Urbani. “We know customers want the best prices and more selection of quality products for their pets. What they’ll also find at Petcetera are highly qualified staff who have the best training and knowledge in modern pet care products and services,” he said. It is Mr. Urbani’s goal to make the trip to Petcetera an enjoyable and unforgettable experience so that customers become loyal, long-term clients. Any comments or concerns about Petcetera can be emailed directly to Mr. Urbani, who personally reads and responds to every email he is sent. This is just one aspect of Petcetera that makes it such a success. Petcetera has its own adoption centre through a unique foundation called P.A.W.S. (Petcetera Animal Welfare Society) that operates in partnership with the Humane Society of the Durham Region. Following all the Humane Society guidelines and adoption procedures, the Petcetera Adoption Centre works to reduce euthanasia rates by providing adoption for homeless animals. The proceeds from every adoption are returned directly to the Humane Society of the Durham Region. As a responsible pet retailer, Petcetera is committed to helping reduce pet overpopulation, which is why they do not sell cats or dogs. The adoption of homeless pets is much more important to them, added Mr. Urbani, who is also the Founder, CEO and Chairman of P.A.W.S. To date, P.A.W.S has raised more than $948,000 for the promotion of animal wellness and education and adopted out over 11,000 cats and dogs; this is pretty impressive. “It was very critical, from my perspective, that once I became educated on the euthanasia rates of dogs and cats in Canada, I decided that my commitment as a responsible pet retailer is not to sell dogs and cats,” said Mr. Urbani. Since its commencement, Petcetera has invested $2 million into the development and operation of this program.” “It’s a commitment Petcetera puts its chequebook on the line with.” etcetera also has its own Doggy Daycare which can accept up to six dogs a day and operates on hourly, daily and weekly rates. To make your Petcetera trip a one-stop venture for pet owners, they also have their own grooming salon, pet photography centre, and dog obedience classes right on site. A pet clinic will be opening soon, added Mr. Urbani. As you gaze around the new Petcetera store in Ajax, you can’t help but notice the huge selection of pet products available. If there is a particular product you are looking for, but isn’t stocked Petcetera will special order it for you. Pets are always welcome at Petcetera. Walk your dog in; take your cat or snake over to see this “big box” approach to shopping which makes it a fun, enjoyable experience for people and their pets. There are more than 15,000 product offerings at Petcetera. The store is broken into the following: dog, cat, bird, fish, small animal, wild bird, horse, reptile and programs and services. Petcetera’s aquatic tanks feature more than 6,000 different types of fish. And last, but certainly not least, Petcetera has a wonderful customer rewards program. “Petcetera Plus” is a free membership program with three levels, including Plus, Elite and Warehouse Club. Membership benefits include Petcetera Plus Gift Certificates toward future purchases and redemption of points for non-pet related merchandise from the new Rewards Catalogue. Members receive exclusive savings and “double points” offers on specially marked merchandise. And customers can enter their pet in the monthly “Pet of the Month” contest to win 250,000 Petcetera Plus points. For the month of June, Petcetera Plus customers can enter the grand opening contest of an Air Canada Trip for Two to Paris, France. Every time you use your Petcetera Plus card, you are automatically entered in a chance to win. In addition, all Petcetera Plus members will be able to enjoy the additional savings through the “Buy 10 Bags, Get 1 Bag Free” program on participating premium brands of dry dog or cat food. Customers will not be required to save any receipts. The system automatically keeps track of the customers’ purchases and mails them a free a bag coupon after 10 bags have been purchased. Check out Petcetera’s website, which includes information on the Petcetera pet superstore concept, company profile and much more at www.petcetera.ca. Clearly, Petcetera is “For the love of your pet”. So grab the leash and bring your four-legged family member over to the store to see for yourself; you will be delighted with what you find at the grand opening on May 26th!

DURHAM —A recent smoke-free living cam- paign proved to be a suc- cess for more than 400 Durham residents. During the Quit Smok- ing 2001 Contest earlier this year, 428 Durham resi- dents and over 10,000 across Ontario agreed to give up the habit in ex- change for a healthier lifestyle and a chance to win prizes. “We’re very pleased with the number of people who participated in the contest and ultimately be- came smoke-free,” said Nancy Bolton, a public health nurse with the Durham Region Health De- partment. “Everyone who entered the contest is a winner, with the biggest prize being improved health and well- being.” Ms. Bolton also remind- ed smokers that the health department has a number of resources to assist smok- ers in in giving up the habit. The contest was funded in part by the Ontario Min- istry of Health and Long- Term Care and was sup- ported by 57 local public health units and councils on smoking and health throughout Ontario, in partnership with the Indus- trial Accident Prevention Association and the On- tario Tobacco-free Net- work. Nine winners were cho- sen from around Ontario, although none were from Durham. Kim Lambert was the grand-prize winner of a Caribbean cruise for two. Also winning were Elinore Cane, Sean Hunter, James Foster, Joe Todd, Sharon Wilson, Alexis Gomez, Edie Brule, and Elizabeth Verhovany.

Was it blind faith and a determination against all odds, or a calculated journey to what was surely to be a boom-town experience? One can only imagine the trek east for brothers Tom and Nick Palantzas who, during the winter of ‘97, were to be confronted by a now familiar spectacle of ever-expanding chain stores and franchises bearing Sacramento business addresses in beaver pelt clothing. Klondike Food Rush is very much a homegrown product with a penchant for hearty meals and top quality foods and service. Its claim is now well-rooted in the community with major sponsorship of local hockey and other sports teams, as well as numerous charity and community events throughout the year. “We much prefer contributing directly to our community,” asserts Tom, “and actually feel a part of its maturing complexion.” Such an approach also characterizes their response to customer demand as reflected in the publication of their most recent menu. “Quite regularly during the course of our daily business,” offers Nick, “we will introduce new items as feature meals. All customer feedback is imperative to the continuous fine tuning of our food item selection.” This is made possible, after all, because of the independent nature of the operation and all patrons benefit from the flexibility this affords when ordering. This bodes well for the business community in the region as well. Are you always looking for a great lunch selection at reasonable prices? The Klondike provides for group bookings with a separate mezzanine level that accommodates about seventy seated diners and even more persons when standing room is required. This section has become most popular for business meetings, luncheons, office parties of all types, retirements, networking and other wine & cheese events. Make sure to book your company event well in advance, particularly during peak holiday seasons, simply by calling IAM-RUSH, that’s 426-7874. Yet accommodation and versatility doesn’t stop there. You will actually be encouraged to custom-build your group’s menu. “Whether it’s a sit-down dinner, buffet, platter selection, or light appetizers,” Nick continues, “the Klondike kitchen thrives on the challenge of differing tastes and likes, whatever the budget.” And let’s talk about quality and selection. Klondike Food Rush has quickly gained a reputation for being a premier rib and steak house. Racks and racks of pork and beef ribs are smoked in-house using hickory wood. The steak selection ranges from an 8oz. N.Y. striploin, 10oz. rib-eye, 16oz. T-bone, to a 24oz. porterhouse. The 12oz. prime rib dinner is a permanent fixture every Friday night. Smoked beef brisket rounds out the beef lover’s picks, all of which are graded AAA and carefully aged for optimal tenderness. With over 100 menu items to choose from, rest assured that most every taste will very likely be addressed. In addition to the vast rib and steak selection, one must consider the juicy bro-tisserie chicken, perhaps an innovative pasta creation, the various pita wraps, or unbeatable fajitas. And of course, neither kids nor vegetarians need search very hard for an excellent choice of dishes.

Members of the Dance Experience studio completed a competitive season with Picker- ing’s Adam Sergison coming out as the big win- ner. Sergison brought home a platinum medal for having a mark over 94, as well as a scholar- ship, along with other awards listed below. At the beginning of March the group of 61 dancers ranging from seven to 23 years old competed at ‘Dance Extravaganza’ and came home with some impressive results.

Winning again at ‘Dance Power’ competi- tion a few weeks later were the groups perform- ing ‘A Bushel and a Peck’and ‘Wizard of Oz’. At the ‘International Dance Challenge’ on April 7 and 8 the studio did it again. Overall high score awards went to Sergison and Ryan, both first runners-up for their solo performances and Danielle DeSouza who was second runner- up for her solo performance. In the junior division, group awards went to top duet/trio for ‘Money Money’, top small group for ‘Shake It’, top large group for ‘Born to be Wild’, and large group, which earned run- ner-up for ‘Get Wild’. In the senior division, group awards went to top small group for ‘Chicago’, top large group for ‘Birmingham’, line/production, which earned first runner-up for ‘We Like to Move It’, and duet/trio was first runner-up for ‘Every- body’s Breaking Up’. Local dancers wrap up golden year Following are the new movie re- leases being screened this weekend at cinemas in Ajax and Pickering: PEARL HARBOR Starring Ben Affleck, Josh Hart- nett, Kate Beckinsale,Alec Bald- win, Cuba Gooding Jr. Directed by Michael Bay. Set during the time of the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor, the story follows two daring young pilots, Rafe McCawley and Danny Walker. The two grew up like brothers and first learned to fly in the daring and dangerous aviation practice of crop-dusting; now they have become pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Rafe has fallen in love with Evelyn Stewart, a beautiful and courageous nurse serving in the U.S. Navy. But their love has only just begun to bloom when their personal destiny — and that of a world on the brink of war — inter- venes. (Cineplex-Odeon Ajax 10 Cine- mas, Famous Players Pickering 8 Cinemas, Pickering Town Cen- tre). For a complete listing of what’s playing this weekend, contact your local movie theatre.

After graduating from Picker- ing High in 1970, Boulton landed a job as the people editor for Maclean’s magazine where she lived the “high heels lifestyle,” at- tending film festivals and inter- viewing celebrities. But during a weekend of rest and relaxation in the country, Boulton admits she “looked at the real estate window a little too long” and before she knew it, had turned her high heels in for work boots and starting talk- ing to sheep instead of the rich and famous. “I moved to the farm very sud- denly in 1980,” she said. “I just threw myself into it and really enjoy it.” It was after moving to the southern Ontario farm, with hus- band and fellow writer Stephen Williams, that Boulton began writ- ing stories about her rural experi- ences. Her writings include stories about how “mailboxes are ritually murdered” in spring, the time she planted acres of pickled cucumbers by hand, how a hair dryer can be an indispensable farm tool and how not to go cabin crazy in winter. Boulton’s short stories, which are used in Ontario’s new school literacy testing, won her the honour of being the fourth Canadian woman in over 50 years, and the first shepherd, to win the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour in 1996. “I like to think I struck a blow for women humourists,” she said. And her husband noted the award garnered a little more atten- tion than expected. “I was elated,” said Mr. Williams, adding that when the win was announced the media made a slip and said she was the first woman to win. The story made its way into papers across the country. “No woman who had won the award previously (did it with) as much vigour as Marsha’s book did,” he said. Aside from the award, Boul- ton’s writings have made an im- pression in other interesting ways as well. Two people have been buried with copies of her books and Boul- ton called it a compliment that someone passed away and took her book as reading material. With three best-selling books of short stories already to her credit, Boulton has just released ‘Letter from the Country Omnibus’ a col- lection compiled from her earlier works. Ms. Boulton, who also writes history books, contributes to CBC Radio’s ‘Fresh Air’and is a recipi- ent of the YWCA’s Woman of Dis- tinction Award, is eagerly awaiting Pickering High School’s 50th an- niversary reunion on June 8.

The Pickering High School student wrote three, “kind of classical” pieces with a medieval flavour. What she didn’t know at the time is that one of the inter- viewers is a leading choral music composer in Canada. Fortunately, he liked her work, and it helped secure her spot as one of only about 15 University of Toronto national scholars in Canada. The Ajax resident and OAC student begins faculty of music studies this fall. The monetary award ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 per year and is determined on the basis of individual finan- cial circumstances. Ms. Loewen hopes to make playing the violin a career. “I’ve always kind of dreamed of being in an or- chestra,” she said in an in- terview. “That’s always been a dream of mine.” She has played violin since age four and is a mem- ber of the Toronto Sympho- ny Youth Orchestra and the Young Artists Performance Academy at the Royal Con- servatory of Music in Toronto. Ms. Loewen, who has a roughly 92-per cent aver- age, also teaches part-time at the Durham School of Music in Pickering. She applied for the schol- arship, with her school’s support, after reading a poster in the hall at school. Ms. Loewen encouraged students to work hard in high school, adding univer- sities are looking for more than just high marks. She said they are looking for “all-around students” who are also active in their schools. Pickering High School guidance counsellor Brenda Hodgson likened the schol- arship to “the full-meal deal. “It’s very exciting news for us and there’s only 15 of them in the country. It’s just a wonderful opportunity and we’re really thrilled for her.” Area student pulls strings in getting U of T scholarship NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, May 25, 2001 PAGE 25 P Please Recycle Me... •FREE PARKING! •FREE ADMISSION! •SNACK BAR •BEER TENT •POST TIME 1 PM •PARI-MUTUAL BETTING •SIMULCAST WAGERING FROM WOODBINE & FORT ERIE PICOV DOWNS 686-0952388 KINGSTON RD.

This tight schedule has compelled many travellers across the country to look for creative ways to attend some of our most exciting summer events. Jasmine Rowe and her friends are young professionals who live in the Greater Toronto Area. In an effort to experience as many of Canada’s summer festivals as possible, the friends devised a unique vacation plan with the help of VIA Rail. “We picked the train because we’re all fairly close to the down- town (Toronto) station. It’s a very relaxing and enjoyable trip, espe- cially in first class. With the train we’re going from downtown to downtown and we don’t have to worry about renting a van or the stress of driving and parking,” Jas- mine explained. Their itinerary starts off with the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa on July 1. They follow that national party with the internationally ac- claimed Jazz Festival in Montreal and then the summer festival in Quebec City, before finally return- ing home. The group is not alone in choos- ing the train during the festival sea- son in central Canada. According to Louise Beauchamp, VIA Rail’s manager of market development for the corridor, more and more trav- ellers are leaving the driving to VIA when it comes to urban vacations. The Quebec City-to-Windsor corridor is VIA’s busiest artery, and its trains ply the leg frequently. Ei- ther in economy or first class, Ms. Beauchamp said the rail journey is a rapid and comfortable alternative to driving. “For many of our passengers the train is the most hassle-free way to travel during their summer vaca- tions,” she added. Here are some of the corridor’s most popular attractions once you reach your destination: In Quebec City Quebec City, historic capital, where the Old World meets the New: the Citadel, the Promenade, the Old Port and Petit-Champlain, Place Royale, the Parliament, Île d’Orléans. Stroll through the narrow streets of the old city and soak up its very French charm. Walk to the Plains of Abraham, scene of the famous bat- tle in 1759 when New France fell to the British. In Montreal Quebec’s largest city and its cul- tural and business centre, Montreal will cater to your every whim with its museums, concert halls, cinemas, department stores and specialized boutiques. Visit Old Montreal, Mount Royal, the Fine Arts Muse- um, Place-des-Arts, Notre-Dame Basilica, Parc des Iles, and Olympic Park. Try your luck at the Montreal Casino. Thrill to the music that fills the downtown streets during the Jazz Festival, with its tens of thousands of visitors. Montreal is also home to an international fireworks competi- tion, the Just for Laughs comedy festival, and a world film festival. In Ottawa There is so much to see and do in Ottawa: the tulip festival, the chang- ing of the guard, the Parliament buildings, Gatineau park, and By- ward market. Enjoy a boat trip on the Rideau Canal. Spend an after- noon in the museum of your choice: the Canadian Museum of Civiliza- tion, the National Arts Centre and others. In Toronto Canada’s largest metropolis has museums, fine restaurants theatres, concert halls, sporting events, shop- ping, etc. Don’t miss the Canadian National Exhibition, the CN Tower, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Royal Ontario Museum, Metro Toronto Zoo, Ontario Science Centre, On- tario Place, and the SkyDome.

Sun. 12 - 6 P.M. BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —An Ajacian overcame a series of major obstacles to end up on top at the recent 2001 Canadian Juve- nile Badminton championships at the Vancouver Lawn and Tennis Club. Nathaniel Allard, a member of the Ajax-based Harwood Phoenix Bad- minton Club, teamed with Alvin Lau of Vancouver to capture the men’s under-16 doubles title. It was the first national championship for the Ajax badminton club since 1990. It was an improbable victory for Allard and Lau, who had never played a doubles match together prior to the Canadians and didn’t meet until the day before tournament ac- tion began. In fact, the duo had just two practice sessions together before the competition. Undaunted, the unranked twosome won five consecutive games, upset- ting the number-two team from On- tario, Ram Narayan and Lucas Wong from Toronto’s Granite Club, 17-16, 15-7 in the championship match. Ironically, Narayan was Allard’s former doubles partner before calling it quits just prior to the tournament, leaving Allard scrambling to find an- other partner “It was amazing; I couldn’t be- lieve it,” said Allard, who gave full credit to Lau for his enormous contri- bution. Allard admitted to being just “30 per cent of my normal strength” dur- ing the tournament due to a stomach virus that kept him in his hotel room resting and dining on soup between matches. In addition to the virus,Allard was also without the benefit of regular coach Wayne King, who was unable to attend. The duo did have the help of Vancouver-based coach Calvin Holoboff. Allard explained he and Lau im- mediately clicked in their two prac- tices prior to the Canadians, as they both used a similar style of play. “We’re both power players as we can both hit really hard smashes,” said Allard. “No one could defend our smashes, so we took everyone apart. That was our strategy and we stuck with it.” Allard and Lau opened the cham- pionships with a 15-3, 15-8 win over the number-four Ontario team of Liam Parkes and Ismail Malik. Next, the duo defeated Ng and Yaworski, from Alberta and B.C., respectively, 15-6, 15-4. In their closest match of the tourney, Allard and Lau defeated Ricky Ling and Kyle Holoboff of B.C. 15-8, 11-15, 17-15 in the third round. In the semifinals, Allard and Lau were victorious over the number- three seeded Poulin and Yargeau of Quebec 15-7, 15-9. In under-16 boys’ singles, Allard received a first-round bye, but was eliminated in the second round by fifth-seeded Sunil Bhamhani of Al- berta 15-3, 15-9. Allard also played mixed doubles at nationals with partner Shawna Wong of Toronto. The duo, however, was defeated early in the tournament. The 2001 nationals represented Allard’s fourth trip to the Canadian championships. Two years ago, he finished second in boys’ singles in the under-14 division.

The Red Sox (sponsored by Toronto Blue Jays’ pitcher Chris Carpenter) suffered a 6-1 loss to Cambridge in the consolation final at the 25th annual Milton Rookieball Tournament to finish fourth overall in the 12-team event for eight- and nine-year-old players. Pickering reached the consola- tion final after suffering its first loss of the tournament in its semi- final game against Guelph. Guelph’s hot hitting was too much for the Red Sox to over- come as they dropped an 11-4 de- cision. Carpenter’s Crew started the event by posting a come-from-be- hind 14-13 victory over Martin- grove. The Red Sox trailed 13-8 entering the final inning before scoring six unanswered runs to earn the close victory. In the second game, the Red Sox displayed good defence and power at the plate to post a con- vincing 13-3 win over Burling- ton. The third game boasted two undefeated teams in Pickering and Guelph, both 2-0. Guelph led the Sox 9-4 late in the game, but Pickering rallied for seven runs in a big uprising to post an 11-9 vic- tory. The victory put Pickering into the semifinals against the same Guelph squad, which earned a wild-card berth into the game. Pickering team members are Richard Abbott, Nyl Yakura, Rus- sell McGibbon, Kyle Feener, Nicholas Cappa, Cody Molloy, Grant Tamane, Dennis Linth- waite, Ryan Semenuk, Chris Robinson, John Guenther and Brad Haley.
