Call 905-686-2445 Brothers charged with attempting to obstruct justice BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —Police have charged a second man with at- tempting to obstruct justice in connection with the shooting at a Pickering high school. Teran Richards, 22, of Ajax was shot several times April 3 by a spectator while trying to break up a fight between opposing players during a game of pickup basketball in the gymnasium at Pine Ridge High School. A short time later, Durham Regional Police arrested two men — one subsequently charged with attempted murder — after a vehicle pursuit and collision. The investigation is continu- ing and last week homicide de- tectives arrested 18-year-old An- drew Martinborough of Weekes Drive, Ajax on a charge of at- tempting to obstruct justice for allegedly contacting the shooting victim. On Thursday, his brother Jer- maine Anthony Martinborough, 19, who is currently in custody at Whitby Jail, was arrested on the same charge. “There is an allegation that there was an attempt to influence a witness’s testimony in relation to the attempted murder case,” said Sergeant Paul Malik. Both men appeared in the On- tario Court of Justice, Oshawa on Thursday and were remanded in custody. They are back in court on June 5. Mr. Richards, a Centennial College student, was shot as many as four times and suffered major injuries, including damage to his vital organs. He has since been released from hospital and continues to re- cover. A stray bullet also grazed the face of a 15-year-old girl, police said. A .45-calibre semi-automatic handgun and .357 revolver were recovered. Marlon Maragh, 21, of Scar- borough is in custody on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons offences. Tyshan Riley, 18, also of Scar- borough, also faces weapons charges. Police are continuing their in- vestigation and ask anyone who has information about the case to contact investigators at 905-579- 1520, ext. 4250, or Crime Stop- pers at 905-436-TIPS.

Doctors, hospitals under fire Lawsuits allege incompetence, inappropriate action BY JOE CHIN AND STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writers DURHAM —Major class-ac- tion lawsuits totalling $45 million have been launched this week against three Durham-area hospital sites and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The suits, filed in the Ontario Su- perior Court of Justice in Whitby, in- volve two physicians who practised in this area and are accused of in- competence: Dr. Errol Wai-Ping and Dr. Richard Neale. In both cases it is alleged the de- fendants failed to adequately protect patients from a doctor with a long record of complaints. On Thursday, a $25-million class-action lawsuit was launched against the Rouge Valley Health System and the college by former TORONTO ––Three women look on during a press conference Thursday announcing a class-action lawsuit against Whitby doc- tor Errol Wai-Ping and the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre.

GENUINE A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER SUNDAY EDITION, June 3, 2001 patient Denise Oostrom of Ajax. The statement of claim named Dr. Wai-Ping and other doctors and nurses who it says knew or should have known of the 47-year-old doc- tor’s alleged reputation for practis- ing substandard medicine. “There appears in this case to have been a significant failure of the system, currently in place, to protect the public,” said lawyer Paul Harte who is representing the plaintiff. “Regardless of the out- come of the class action, it is clear significant changes to the regulato- ry system are required urgently.” Dr. Wai-Ping has been ordered by the college to undergo a rigor- ous assessment of his medical skills and knowledge within the next 10 days. He is currently on a voluntary leave of absence from the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre, part of the Rouge Valley Health System, where he has practised since February 1992. Dr. Neale, the College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, Lakeridge Health Oshawa, Lakeridge Health Whitby and Rouge Valley have been named as defendants in a $20- million class-action lawsuit filed this week on behalf of 36 former patients of Dr. Neale, who allege they were victims of medical mal- practice. Dr. Neale, who has left an inter- national trail of medically maimed patients as a result of botched pro- cedures, was the focus of the largest investigation and discipline hearing in British medical history last year. He was found guilty by the General Medical Council, which investigated more than 100 complaints from across the United Kingdom, of 34 misconduct charges spanning the past two decades, including professional negligence, performing operations without consent and providing sub- standard care. He is also currently the subject of a criminal investigation by Durham Regional Police, which last year received more than a dozen complaints from former local patients alleging they were the victims of criminal negligence. All the complainants in the law- suit claim to have suffered major complications as a result of opera- tions performed by Dr. Neale at Durham hospitals during the 1980s, said Oshawa lawyer Bernie O’Brien. “They are people who had sig- nificant problems and unquestion- ably were the victims of medical neglect,or worse... barbarism,”said Mr. O’Brien. In a public statement issued Thursday, the self-regulatory med- ical watchdog said it was moving quickly to quell concerns regarding Dr. Wai-Ping’s surgical compe- tence. “It is our responsibility that appropriate medical standards and practice are maintained, and we are committed to our mandate to pro- tect the public interest,” the college said. The complaints’ history of Dr. Wai-Ping was revealed as part of a series of investigations by a Toron- to newspaper into the regulation of physicians in Ontario. Following the publication, at least 80 women so far have come forward with sim- ilar complaints. “Had I known of the complaints against Dr. Wai-Ping, I would not have entrusted my care to him,” said Lyn Logan, 41, of Ajax. “But because of the veil of secrecy at the college, I did not know.” Dr. Wai-Ping has had at least six complaints lodged against him at the college and four malpractice suits, two of which were settled out of court several years ago, said Mr. Harte. Complaints listed in the state- ment of claim against Dr. Wai-Ping allege the physician: failed to ob- tain an informed consent prior to performing surgery, performed an unnecessary hysterectomy, failed to remove surgical instruments and sponges from the operative site, failed to diagnose cancer, failed to fully deliver placenta and failed to properly manage obstetrical deliv- eries. “I was near death when I trans- ferred my care from Dr. Wai-Ping and Ajax-Pickering hospital,” pa- tient Nicole Harder said. After she complained to the col- lege in November 1995, the doctor was required only to take a com- munications course, Ms. Harder said. “The hospital was also noti- fied of my concerns (at the same time). Only now, after dozens of women have come forth, is the hos- pital launching a full investigation,” she added. On May 25, Rouge Valley an- nounced it had assigned three in- vestigators from its risk-manage- ment department to go through all the complaints. “We are very concerned about the well-being of these patients and we intend to find out what hap- pened during their care,” said Bruce Cliff, chief operating officer of the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre. Additionally, two physicians af- filiated with Queen’s University have been hired by the hospital to review the cases. Every patient who has complained to the hospital will be contacted, Mr. Cliff said. Ms. Logan said she was pleased, but “it’s far too late for many of us.” She and other former patients are calling on the Province to open up patient complaints and doctors’ medical track records to public scrutiny, a practice already common in Massachusetts and sev- eral other U.S. states. Health Minister Tony Clement told the legislature this week he is reviewing the legislation governing doctors and hopes to improve transparency and accountability. “If we have to make legislative changes in order to get a better de- finition and interpretation of the public interest, we should change legislation,” he said. A toll-free information line has been set up to assist former patients of Dr. Wai-Ping. They can call 1- 888-441-3341 for more informa- tion on the issues specific to their case. The British-educated Dr. Neale first began practising in Canada at Prince George Hospital in British Columbia in 1977, but was banned from practising in B.C. after a pa- tient died as a result of a severed kidney in 1978. He then moved to Ontario and began practising at Durham hospi- tals. A statement of claim alleges Dr. Neale carried out surgical proce- dures he knew or should have known were inappropriate in the circumstances, was incompetent to practise medicine and perform op- erations, failed to advise patients of the risks involved in procedures, failed to scrub-up, wear a surgical mask and follow proper pre-opera- tive procedures. The lawsuit also states the Whit- by, Ajax and Oshawa hospital sites failed to provide proper treatment and to “take reasonable steps to monitor and assess the compe- tence” of Dr. Neale, and should have known he was not competent. The allegations have yet to be proven in court. NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 3, 2001 PAGE 3 P Lawsuits name doctors, hospitals Online at durhamregion.comLAWSUITS from page 1 Board, union happy with deal for supply teachers BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Supply teach- ers working for the Durham Catholic District School Board are “very satisfied” with the con- tract agreement reached last month, says Ron Oke. The president of the local On- tario English Catholic Teachers’ Association’s occasional teach- ers’ unit said qualified, degree- holding supply teachers will re- ceive $154 per day, an increase of roughly $2 per day. Qualified teachers without a teaching de- gree will earn $151 per day, up by about $9. The board ratified the two- year deal, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2001, last month. It applies to about 160 quali- fied teachers. “The good thing is it’s a two- year agreement,” said Mr. Oke. “This is the first two-year agree- ment in a number of years.” Supply teachers who became qualified educators when a teach- ing degree was not a requirement received a higher pay increase, narrowing the gap between them- selves and their degree-holding colleagues. “These are people who have been around for a long time,” said Mr. Oke. “It’s only fair that they receive wages equal to the degree teach- ers.” John Vesters, the board’s human resources superintendent, said roughly 30 teachers are in that category. “They will phase themselves out over time because these are basically retired teachers who have limits imposed on them by their pension plan,” he explained. Retired teachers can teach 95 days per year for three years and then 20 days per year without af- fecting their pension plan, said Mr. Vesters. The board also sought a two- year agreement, he noted. “We were pushing for that, otherwise you’re always in a state of negotiations,” said Mr. Vesters. Mr. Oke said occasional teach- ers would also now receive a 34- cents-per-kilometre travel al- lowance, equal to other board employees, when they travel be- tween two schools in the same day. As well, the board will first fill vacancies with qualified supply teachers before turning to unqual- ified educators. Please recycle this newspaper! 195 WESTNEY RD.

DURHAM —The number of people collecting social assistance in Durham and across the province dropped again in April. Here in Durham, the number of welfare recipients decreased from 15,326 in March to 15,090 in April representing a drop of about 1.5 per cent. The number of cases de- creased from 6,879 in March to 6,796 in April. Across Ontario another 5,343 people stopped collecting welfare in April, bring- ing the total number of individuals who have left the welfare rolls since 1995 to 584,255. “Before we started to change the way welfare is delivered in this province, there were over one million people on the sys- tem,” said Community and Social Services Minister John Baird. “We’ve come a long way to make welfare work in this province, but we know our job isn’t finished yet. There’s more to do to help everyone on wel- fare make a better life for themselves and their family.” The ministry reported the government has developed a five-point action plan to help the 432,221 in Ontario who remain on welfare. The plan includes doubling the number of work placements to provide more people with the opportunity to get job-related expe- rience; allocating $10 million for new pro- grams to help people overcome barriers and find a job; introducing mandatory literacy testing and training; providing advanced training for caseworkers; and introducing mandatory drug testing. “We are not prepared to turn our backs on anyone,” Mr. Baird said. “That’s why we won’t give up on people who need extra support to help themselves get off welfare and into the workforce.” A/P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 3, 2001 Durham Region welfare caseload demand declines in April Fax it: 905-683-7363 Please recycle me!Father’s Day Socks?...NO...Golf?...YES Give your Father a gift you know he will use - a Gift Certificate from The Winning Foursome.

Inspectors with the Ontario Provin- cial Police Highway Traffic Rangers, Durham Regional Police and Ministry of Transportation (MTO) conducted the blitz, using the parking lot of the former Knob Hill Farms outlet on Hwy. 2 in Pickering. Called Operation Infra- Watch, thermal imaging equipment, which includes an infrared camera, was used to detect defects with tires, brakes and suspension. Of the 82 trucks scanned by the cam- era, 45 trucks had to undergo a full MTO safety inspection. Twenty-one trucks and trailers, or 47 per cent, were pulled out of service until repairs had to be completed. Four trucks were in such poor repair, the licence plates were pulled and the vehicles towed away. MTO enforcement officer Andrew Brydges noted the plates for a Missis- sauga-based hauler were removed be- cause it had “an accumulative amount of defects”. Among the defects were two front brakes out of adjustment, loose or miss- ing suspension bolts, a cracked air bag support mount,an inoperative left signal and an exhaust leak. The trailer had loose debris that could fall off on the road, a flat tire and inoperative brakes. Mr. Brydges said the truck and trail- er, used to haul scrap metal or cars, was “one of the worst today”. The driver refused to comment. The infrared camera gives inspectors a more-complete picture as it looks for ‘heat signatures’in the brakes, tires and wheel bearings. Sergeant Cam Woolley of the OPP said the camera is a comple- ment to hands-on inspections. “The biggest problem for trucks are brakes and this helps. It doesn’t help us with driver fatigue or those under sus- pension,” Sgt. Woolley noted. “The idea is to increase efficiency. Brake inspec- tions are time consuming for the police and truckers. It (the camera) decreases the time and improves efficiency. Ulti- mately it will cut collisions.” If a truck was found to be mechani- cally sound, “it shows on their record, so we’re not completely wasting their time,” the sergeant stated. “Part of this is public awareness. We want the public to see new develop- ments,” he added. “We want to reward the good truckers, but show those who aren’t looking after their rig they’ll get caught.” Most fines range from $300 to $500, but they can go as high as $10,000 or $20,000. While the sergeant said the blitz was a success, one trucker didn’t share that view. Paul Kingston from Pontypool said the blitz was “bull. “I don’t mind being inspected, but they should have everyone ready. I’m on a schedule and I’ll miss a load. Who knows how long I have to be here,” he said. seniors’day onedaysale seniors 60 plus save an additional 15% Off our regular, sale & clearance prices throughout the store. some exemptions do apply Tuesday, June 5 th housewares save 50% • all cookware sets over $300 & matching open stock excludes Henckels & KitchenAid • all Royal Albert & Johnson Brothers 5-pce. place settings save 40% • boxed stemware, glass serveware & silver plated gifts in our China Department • all Corningware save 30% all Outdoor Living Shop assortment includes planters, garden accessories, acrylics & more linens save 50% all pillows excludes Calvin Klein save 40% • all duvets & mattress pads excludes Calvin Klein • all beach towels save 40% - 50% all solid-coloured towels save 25% - 30% all bedding save 25% • all bath accessories • all tabletop & kitchen linens electronics save $70 Sony mini audio system 3-CD changer reg. $349.99 sale $279.99 jewellery & accessories save 50% selected gold jewellery save 30% fine jewellery save 25% • selected watches, sterling silver & fashion jewellery • Secret pantyhose & socks save $25 - $40 men’s walking shoes selected styles by Hush Puppies®, Clarks®, Cambrian, Ecco®, Rockport® women’s fashions save 50% • women's Mantles™ spring & summer fashions includes pants, blouses, skirts & jackets excludes petite & Plus sizes • all women’s Global Mind® T-shirts reg. $13 - $32 sale $5.99 - $15.99 save 25% - 30% all women's sportswear by Tan Jay, Alfred Dunner, Alia, Koret & Alia Sport includes petite & Plus sizes The retail formats of Hudson’s Bay Company – The Bay, Home Outfitters, Zellers and Zellers Select – will now accept Bay and Zellers credit cards in all retail locations for all purchases.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 3, 2001 Trustee says meeting was legitimate To the editor: Re: ‘Why are trustees meeting in secret?’ editorial May 30. Trustees were not acting in secret. There was no ‘breach of trust’ by Durham District School Board trustees. Further to the standing committee meeting of May 7, Trustee Ross adjourned the meet- ing halfway through a full agenda. With trustee calendars full, it was necessary in good faith to call a special meeting to com- plete board business or else current business would not be completed in an effective time frame. Five trustees according to bylaw request- ed the meeting and the chairman, director and trustee secretary were all aware of this request. Yes, everything was done according to policies available to the board of trustees. In fact, the chairman and director came to a scheduled ad hoc committee that same night at 5 p.m. and were well aware of the special meeting to unfold. Further, the room was booked and recorded for this purpose with the reception/front desk. There are serious attempts by trustees to complete business in good faith in a timely manner. Trustees are elected for this reason — to complete board business in good faith, in a timely and effective manner. We will continue to proceed to do this for the good of the board, our schools and students.

Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Be prepared to see them clustered on every street corner in Toronto. As of Friday, a long-awaited bylaw made it illegal to smoke in any restaurant in Hogtown or in York or Peel regions. Clearly, it was a long overdue measure whose time had come. If Toronto is leading the way in Ontario on this issue, it’s time for the rest of the GTA — especially Durham Region — and points further afield to join in. Smoke-free areas in restaurants are impractical, insensitive and idiotic. The few feet of clearance between the closest non-smoking ta- bles and those set aside for smokers make no difference at all when the non-smokers begin their main course just as a table of smokers four feet away light up. Long-established bylaws prohibit smoking on planes, trains, subways, buses and other public places. Smoking has been banned in shopping malls, in stadiums (even outdoor ones), in public build- ings and lobbies, in workplaces, in almost every place people gath- er. The image of smokers desperately puffing away near doorways in weather fair or foul, in boiling hot or freezing cold, has become a caricature over the past few decades. Now it’s time to take the final step and put smokers out of the misery of those who sensibly choose not to puff. Studies show smoking kills not just those who inhale directly, but those who are forced to breathe in second-hand smoke. Municipalities must stand up for the non-smoking workers in restaurants and bars who are forced to breathe in second-hand smoke on a daily basis. The non- smoking bylaw in Toronto will include bars too — but not until 2004. Those who demand the right to smoke should take it outside or do it at home or in their vehicles — where their second-hand smoke does major harm to their children and other innocents forced to put up with it. No doubt some who can’t live without the evil weed will forego restaurant-going for now. But surely those who love a meal out or a night of socializing will either choose to quit smoking or adapt to the new rules and take a smoke break every now and then. Since less than 25 per cent of adults now smoke, we’re talking about a quarter of the adult population, a number which stats show is dropping each year. With one less place to smoke, perhaps some will realize the pas- sion to puff is a losing cause, one where every day in every way it’s much better to quit than fight the bad fight. Time for Durham to join war on smoking Let’s get tough on minority among us who are endangering local residents, employees Members of Parliament, all 301 of them, are cringing right now, awaiting the inevitable pounding they’re going to receive in the media once they make the decision and give themselves a $20,000 to $25,000 raise. No politician ever gets a pat on the back for paying himself more and no politician expects it. But, faced with the thorny decision about how to deal with their com- pensation, politicians have little choice but to grin and bear it. For years, many MPs have been pushing for raises. Their salaries — and it should be said, the salaries of federal civil servants — have been static throughout most of the past decade. Now comes word that a commit- tee of former federal politicians and chaired by former Liberal cabinet minister Ed Lumley figure MPs de- serve at least 20 per cent more. They reason the long days and nights in Parliament and on com- mittees and the weekends home spent meeting constituents and going to rubber chicken dinners merit more money. MPs now receive a taxable salary of $69,100 and a tax-free al- lowance of $22,800. The total equals a salary of about $104,000. If you think that’s a lot, consider that the 435 U.S. congressmen get a whopping $232,000 (Canadian) per year while the 600-plus MPs in Britain are paid about $111,000 (Canadian) each per year. Clearly, based on British and American standards our MPs are currently un- derpaid. A raise is only fair. But how much should it be? The new pay package would eliminate the tax-free allowance and would make all salary taxable. If MPs get $20,000 more apiece, it will cost taxpayers another $6 mil- lion per year, of which nearly $2 million will come back to the gov- ernment in federal income tax. Net cost then would be nearly $4 mil- lion on a federal budget well over $100 billion annually. The argument MPs know what they’re getting into before they run is weak. Many MPs have been in Ottawa for over a decade without a raise. Others, who might consider run- ning and would make fine represen- tatives, simply can’t afford to give up salaries, which are so much bet- ter in the private sector. Improving the MP pay package would draw better people to Ottawa and that’s good for all of us. The vast majority of MPs — Tom Wappel being a notorious ex- ception — are decent, hard-work- ing, public-spirited people who’ve earned a raise. It would be petty to demand otherwise. MPs’ big pay request makes some cents Bringing Canadian representatives nearer to level of others will attract top candidates Tim Kelly Staff Editor shouston@durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, June 3, 2001 PAGE 7 P JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Weavers busy gathering wool PICKERING - The Pickering Shuttlebugs Spinning and Weaving Guild joined forces last weekend at Pickering Museum Village as part of the Back-to-Back Wool event which challenged the group to make a wool sweater within eight hours, starting with the shearing of a sheep.

Fax it News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Durham public board welcomes new student trustees Exeter’s Brandon Reeve, Eastdale’s David Werry begin one-year term this fall DURHAM —It’s changing of the guard time for student trustees at the Durham District School Board. New student representatives and alternates for the coming school year were announced at the May 22 board meeting. The new trustees are Brandon Reeve from Exeter High School in Ajax and, from Oshawa, Eastdale Col- legiate & Vocational Institute’s David Werry. If a position opens up during the school year, either Ifraan Remtulla, from Pickering’s Pine Ridge Secondary School, or Car- olyn Pierce from Sinclair Sec- ondary School in Whitby will fill it. Current student trustees Chris Skinner from Port Perry High School and Karmyn Giesbrecht, a student at Henry Street High School in Whitby, introduced the new trustees. “We are very excited for the both of you and know you will do an incredible job next year,” said Ms. Giesbrecht. She said Mr. Werry is a Grade 12 student, prime minister of the school’s student council and a member of the student senate. He is captain of the Oshawa Kiwanis ‘AAA’hockey team and is sport- ing a 94.7 per cent average this year. Mr. Reeve, also in Grade 12, is minister of community rela- tions on his school’s student council and has been an honour student the past four years. Mr. Skinner said the new student trustee attended both a Youth Forum of Americas Conference in Quebec City and a United Na- tions summit in New York City. Student trustees at the Durham public board serve a one-year term. They attend board meetings, take part in discus- sions and votes, though their votes are not counted in final de- cisions. Students are selected by a committee made up of the exist- ing student trustees, three elected trustees and two members of the board administration staff.

Durham Environmental Network has new resource directory DURHAM —Whether you’re searching for information about the history of the Ganaraska Forest or want to find out how recycling started in your community, the new Durham Region Environmental Resource Di- rectory is the place to look for an- swers. The second edition of the directory, produced by volunteer members of the Durham Environmental Network (DEN) is now available to members of the public at libraries across the re- gion, reports DEN chairman Gail Lawlor. “Many years ago when DEN start- ed we used to get a lot of phone calls from kids about (school) projects,” she said, noting that prompted the group to produce an environmental directory for the Region. The first edition of the directory, which Ms. Lawlor said was a huge success, was released in 1994. And, she said the second edition provides an update on major topics such as green space issues, air and water quality and energy and waste management. “We have a lot of history in this Re- gion,” she added, noting the directory includes an overview of various envi- ronmental issues in Durham such as how recycling started here and the his- tory of landfill sites. The directory, which is being given to every school in Durham, also pro- vides information about the 37 envi- ronmental groups in the Region, envi- ronmental classroom resources for teachers and students, a listing of envi- ronmental publications and funding sources for environmental projects. “It’s wonderful to see how compa- nies and the community are working together to help protect the environ- ment,” Ms. Lawlor said, adding the di- rectory will be provided free of charge to all schools, public libraries, munic- ipalities and environmental groups in Durham. Established in 1991, DEN is a non- profit, non-partisan, volunteer organi- zation focused on facilitating discus- sion, education and co-operation on environmental issues. The directory was funded through corporate donations from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, On- tario Power Generation Pickering Nu- clear, General Motors of Canada Lim- ited, the Durham Land Stewardship Council, Durham Region, Dupont Canada and The Environmental Factor Inc.

Led by Chief Kevin McAlpine, the pair will form two-thirds of a new leadership team unveiled Wednesday at police headquarters in Oshawa. Chuck Mercier, who began his police career in Durham 23 years ago and has risen through the ranks, has been promoted from superinten- dent. Rod Piukkala, a police veteran of 28 years and currently the chief of Oxford Community Police Service, has also been hired as deputy chief. The pair, who will earn roughly $130,000 annually, beat out more than 40 officers from across Canada and within the department who were vying for the positions. Of those, eight were interviewed by the Durham Police Services Board. Both will take over responsibili- ties July 3 from former deputy chief of administration Derek Denson, who retired March 31 and Deputy Chief of Operations Jim Adams, who will cap a 28-year career with the force June 30. “We are absolutely delighted to have these two dynamic leaders in the fold. They have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities in their extensive policing careers,” said Bob Boychyn, chairman of the police services board at a news con- ference to announce the hirings. Chief McAlpine said he is look- ing forward to working closely with the two and added he is “proud one of our own members has proven” himself through the search process to be qualified for the position. The promotion of Supt. Mercier, a popular choice among many rank and file officers, will likely raise a few eyebrows within the depart- ment, but should not come as a sur- prise given his mercurial rise to se- nior management. The 47-year-old former head of the homicide unit was promoted to the rank of inspector only three years ago, at which time he took over command of 26 Division, cov- ering the north Durham municipali- ties. Exactly one year ago, he was fast-tracked to the rank of superin- tendent and handed the newly creat- ed position of crime management, which includes responsibility for major crime units and deployment of police resources. Many police observers believe he is destined to become the next chief. “I feel very honoured and hum- bled to be selected (for the deputy chief position),” Supt. Mercier said. The married father of four was Durham’s officer of the year in 1982, was recently among the first graduates of a course offered at the Rotman School of Business de- signed for police executives, and played a role in the development of the major case management course for police investigators,for which he received a commendation from the commissioner of the RCMP. Having worked at both large urban and small rural police forces in his career, Chief Piukkala said he brings a wide range of experience to Durham. He started out in 1972 as a constable with Mississauga Police, which later amalgamated with other departments to form Peel Regional Police. With Peel he worked as a pa- trol officer, in the intelligence unit and spent 12 years in the homicide and missing persons bureau as an in- vestigator and commander. He rose to the rank of superin- tendent and was in charge of deliv- ery of police services in divisions covering the cities of Brampton and Mississauga. In 1999 he took over as chief of Oxford Community Police, serving the city of Woodstock and surround- ing rural municipalities. There, he is responsible for 83 police officers and 35 civilian staff. “I think you’ll find I’m a very ap- proachable and very visible person,” he told the gathering, which includ- ed more than a dozen curious police personnel. In a later interview, he said he recognizes urban and rural commu- nities have different needs and de- mands for police services and, given the makeup of Durham, his experi- ence in both worlds will be a big benefit. “This is part of my journey in policing. I’ve gone from a service in a large urban area (Peel) to a small rural service and now back... I’m looking forward to it,” said the 50- year-old married father of two grown sons. The veteran law enforcer’s back- ground also includes being selected by the U.S. government in 1994 to train police officers for work in for- eign countries. He also spent time working in Somalia, training mem- bers of the Somalia National Police, and Cuba, where he trained Haitians in policing techniques prior to being repatriated. He has been awarded the police exemplary service medal, the police medal for bravery, was Peel’s officer of the year in 1984 for his work in the homicide unit and is a member of the Ontario and Cana- dian associations of police chiefs.

Between the oil companies, and the financial institutions, we are economically getting killed. I personally have no objections to companies making a huge profit if it is due to new developments, smart business procedures, or something new that takes the market by storm. I am disgusted however, when astro- nomical gains are made strictly by gouging the Canadian public. In the U.S.,interest rates are going to drop another I/2%over the next month, and further drops will happen if the economy does not improve to the levels that the government deems necessary to avert serious economic problems. The Government in Canada seems to have the same philosophy, but typically is slow to react. Where the major problem surfaces is when rates do drop, this is not being passed to the consumer. Long term mortgage rates are actually a I/4% higher than they were before any Bank of Canada rate decreases over the past few months, and personal loan rates have definitely not decreased. Remember that the majority of political contributions come from Big Business "and the old analogy of “‘Don't bite the hand that feeds you’ has never been more true “. At Central Funding Group,our purpose is to get you the funding you require, with the terms and conditions that suit your specific needs.

With inspiration from the Wellness Community group’s ‘First Night Bags for Mothers’ campaign, the ‘Claremont Kids that Care’ and their teacher-supervisor, Cheryl Hermer, undertook the ‘Love in a Backpack’ campaign, designed to pro- vide children facing their first night in a shelter with a complete package of items that will make the experi- ence a little more bearable. Each backpack includes a new pair of pyjamas, toothbrush and toothpaste, school supplies, toys and books. The bags are gender specific and packaged by age, with gift packs for kids as young as two and as old as 14. Claremont students in grades 1 to 8 worked togeth- er to organize the campaign by making posters and newsletters for advertising. They invited parents and the community to donate back- packs and the filler items. “We really let the com- munity respond in any way they wanted to,” said Mrs. Hermer in a recent tele- phone interview. Also, once all the filler items were collected, each student in the Claremont Kids that Care group helped to fill a backpack. Karen Marks, a commu- nity representative from Wellness Community, picks up and delivers the filled backpacks to shelters. Six backpacks are still needed for the campaign and if anyone would like to donate to the cause, they can call Claremont Public School at 905-649-2000, or drop bags off at 1675 Cen- tral St., in Claremont. Claremont Kids that Care is a branch of the Wellness Community within Clare- mont Public School that supports wellness, care, and a positive influence inside their school.

St. Mary students have designs on fashion show Fund-raiser organized to help establish women’s shelter PICKERING ––St. Mary students will use their flair for fashion this Wednesday to help estab- lish a women’s shelter in west Durham.

The show’s focus is ad- miration of women around the world and proceeds will go to the Ajax-Pickering Women’s Shelter. “The shelter is currently in the development stage and the amount needed to keep this shelter in opera- tion takes an enormous amount of money,” said Cheryl Carter. She noted about 23 women and their children are turned away from the Denise House in Oshawa every month. The show runs from 6 to 8 p.m. at the school, 1918 Whites Rd. Tickets are available at the school.

We hear it often: “ My Yoga class shuts down for the summer!” Participants are disappointed, just when they have managed to make a commitment to them- selves, they are left without the support of their yoga schedule. Yoga to us at Greenwood is so important that we continue a selection of daytime and evening classes throughout the summer months. Your Yoga practice needs to be continuous to help you on your path to optimum health. Please feel free to join our classes for the summer. Always remember that the power to heal and the power to be healed is built into our bodies. To understand how we initiate this healing, I recommend Yoga. We spend our lives in a very active way; that’s a fact of modern life. To bal- ance our “doing” with just simple “being”, is to become a true artist and master of our own destiny. The challenges for us is to prolong the pauses between activities; to design our life in such a way that we spend some time just “being”; to enjoy the silence; lis- tening to the echoes of our “doings”. In our Yoga classes, we allow you to slow down and unwind, experience the power of conscious breathing and practice deep relaxation. How much apprehension and stress in your life comes from not knowing enough about yourself, or being in touch with your own feelings? Yoga postures are like an observa- tion ground where you become aware of your approach to life. Yoga poses reflect your present alignment with life. You will understand how balanced and strong you are to face difficult situations and how much freedom (flexibility) exists in your body and mind. The beauty and power of Yoga is that we can take this awareness of our body and its present restrictions and limi- tations as an opportunity to evolve, and to work towards more wholeness in our- selves. A very powerful posture is the Warrior Pose. As I step into the posture, I become one with the Warrior discovering awareness, acceptance, focus, flexibility, com- passion, confidence, and energy. These are the traits of the Warrior. These are the val- ues required to deal with your life. I believe these Warrior qualities are within us all to be discovered and strengthened. With our guidance in Yoga, we can show you the path to your own self knowledge and to discover and express yourself con- fidently. Don’t let summer go by without practicing Yoga!

EATING: IT IT ORGANICALLY CORRECT? ADVERTISING FEATURE Do You Have Indigestion, Gas, Bloating, and a Few Pounds to Lose? Evelyn Arbour is a Registered Nutritionist and is a guest speaker on the “First Take with Dan Carter” television show. She is also someone who has experienced change in her life when it comes to losing weight by changing her eating habits. “I know how it feels physically and emo- tionally to have a weight problem and diges- tive disorders,” she explains. “This experience helps me to work with my clients so they can achieve their goals.” Evelyn has designed a 4 step program for her clients that is easy to follow and has result- ed in long term results. The first step is a 1 hour consultation. She finds out what you’ve been eating and how you’ve been feeling. It’s a time to learn about good and bad eating habits as well as the dif- ferences between good and bad digestion. Next you take home a questionnaire. This helps you to see which systems you may be having trouble with including digestion, elimi- nation and respiratory as well as problems associated with vitamin and mineral deficien- cies. Once this is done the next step is to deter- mine whether you need a detoxification pro- gram. “You may feel bloated all the time, have bad breath or feel tired all the time,” says Evelyn. “Detoxification is the body’s natural process of elimination or neutralizing of toxins via the liver, the kidneys, the urine, feces, exha- lation and perspiration.” This step of the program also includes your eating plan based on your needs whether it’s for detoxification, weight loss or both. Evelyn provides you with easy and affordable recipes and an individualized eating plan which will include herbal supplements for detoxification. She will also instruct you on healthy food substitutions in particular replacing the 4W’s: white rice; white flour; white pasta and white sugar. The last part of the program is your mainte- nance stage when Evelyn reexamines your eating habits and how you feel to determine if you need to modify your eating plan. The Wellness Connection is located at 2- 360 Bayly St. W. in Ajax. For more information call (905) 431-1928.

It has no cure and is always fatal for the three in every 100,000 chil- dren diagnosed with it each year. It is Batten disease and the annual fund-raiser to possibly wipe it out is Bikes for Batten Disease. Gus Sevink, road captain for Durham HOG, explains its decision to support Batten disease. “One of our members works with a guy who is the director in this area for the disease and his son has the disease,” explained Mr. Sevink. “That’s how it was introduced to the Durham Harley Owners’ Group. That’s how it became our charity of choice.” This year’s event is Sunday, June 3 (today) at the Metro East Trade Centre in Pickering, on Brock Road, just north of Hwy. 401. Participants in the event can either pay a $10 entry fee or raise $50 in pledges. At the event, riders follow a des- ignated route and participate in a show and shine contest. Mr. Sevink said they expect this year will be the best turnout yet. He added it wouldn’t be possible without Margaret Englebert, chair- man for their ride. “It’s gotten larger each year, because of word of mouth and the aggressiveness of our pursuing other clubs to join,” said Mr. Sevink. He explained anyone can participate. It’s not limited to Harley Davidsons. “We’ve gotten good support from the Goldwing Club, the Honda Shad- ow Club and we support some of their rides.” These events are important for raising funds and awareness. “There are people who are affect- ed with the disease that need sup- port,” explained Mr. Sevink. “The best way of providing that is by giv- ing money, but also by having an awareness of what is happening, especially in the community.” What happens to children diag- nosed with Batten disease is unbear- able. It can take four forms, each end- ing in death. • Infantile — occurs between eight months and two years of age. Symptoms are seizures, blindness and fast mental and physical decline. Life expectancy is five to 10 years; • Late infantile — occurs between two and four years of age. Symp- toms are the same as infantile and life expectancy is between eight and 12 years; • Juvenile is from five to 10 years of age — symptoms are blindness, seizures, dementia, the inability to co-ordinate muscle movement, spas-ticity and loss of motor skills. Lifeexpectancy is late teens to early 20s;and • The least common is adult, usu- ally occurring before age 40. Symp- toms are milder and contribute to slower mental and physical decline. Although the symptoms are known, Batten disease is often mis- taken for epilepsy, mental retarda- tion or schizophrenia in adults. Increased funding would allow for more research to help better under- stand the disease. Mr. Sevink explained each partic- ipant raises money differently. “We have one lady who is extremely aggressive and she raised $1,800 last year,” said Mr. Sevink.“The majority of her donations werein smaller amounts.”He added for some younger mem- bers who are starting families, pay- ing the $10 fee can be a tremendous effort. “Everybody does what they can.” If you’re an independent rider who would like to support Bikes for Batten Disease, sponsor forms are available at Ab’s Motorcycle Shop at 2069 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa Registration is at the Metro East Trade Centre June 3 from 8 to 10 a.m. The ride starts at 10 a.m., led by an escort, and ends back at the trade centre.

With that in mind, activi- ties are planned across Durham Region for seniors to enjoy, many that are free, and some which carry a nominal charge. The Durham Region Health Department is host- ing a variety of events around the theme of raising awareness to the dangers as- sociated with falling. “The long-term conse- quences of injuries in older adults are more permanent and debilitating due to the decreased ability of the body to recover as completely or as quickly as in a younger person,” said local public health nurse Joan Segal. The health department has a number of resources available that provide help- ful tips on preventing falls, including a 12-tip resource pamphlet ‘It’s Time to Pre- vent Falls’. The department is also presenting several events next month, including a falls prevention display at the Os- hawa Centre from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on June 5; an inter- active falls prevention work- shop on June 6 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Blackstock Women’s Institute, Black- stock United Church, 3483 Church St.; and a falls pre- vention display on June 18 at the Pickering Town Cen- tre from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The health department and the surgical program at Lakeridge Health Oshawa will also be introducing a new falls prevention pro- gram starting June 11. “Older adults are vital, contributing members of our community. We want to pro- vide information and assis- tance that allows them to re- main active and indepen- dent,” said Ms. Segal. “En- couraging seniors to main- tain an active lifestyle and helping them to reduce the risk of falls will go a long way in helping them to re- tain their independence.” For more information about any of the upcoming programs and Seniors Month activities, call the health department’s Ajax of- fice at 905-683-4660 or 1- 877-999-4336. The Uxbridge office can be con- tacted at 905-852-9161. Seniors centres around Durham are also getting in on the special month, in- cluding the Whitby Seniors’ Activity Centre (WSAC), where they are planning a health fair, bingo and a ‘40s and ‘50s Night.

Region wants to help you prevent falls DURHAM —The Durham Region Health Department is hosting a variety of events to mark Seniors Month in June in an effort to raise awareness of the dangers associated with falls among those 65 and older. “The long-term conse- quences of injuries in older adults are more permanent and debilitating due to the de- creased ability of the body to recover as completely or as quickly as in a younger per- son,” said local public health nurse Joan Segal. She reported research has shown that injuries from a fall often lead to loss of indepen- dence, limited mobility, possi- ble admission to an institution, social withdrawal and self-im- posed inactivity due to fear, anxiety and loss of confidence. “It’s not unusual for older adults not to tell someone that they’ve fallen or to seek appro- priate medical attention for fear of loss of independence,” she said. The Durham Region Health Department has a number of resources available that pro- vide helpful tips on preventing falls, including a pamphlet ‘It’s Time to Prevent Falls’, a 12-tip resource guide for older adults. The department is also pre- senting several events next month, including a falls pre- vention display at the Oshawa Centre from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on June 5; an interactive falls prevention workshop on June 6 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Blackstock Women’s In- stitute, Blackstock United Church, 3483 Church St. and a falls prevention display on June 18 at the Pickering Town Centre from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information about any of the upcoming programs, call the health department’s Ajax office at 905-683-4660 or 1-877-999-4336.

Devon Davis, a graduate of Pickering High School in Ajax, will compete for the University of Northern Iowa Pan- thers in the 100-metre dash at the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon this weekend. Davis, 22, earned the right to com- pete at the national showcase after set- ting a new school record and a personal- best time of 10.19 seconds in the men’s 100m at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas, in April. The clocking was also a provisional time for the NCAA’s — meaning it met the minimum qualifying standards for the national meet. The sprint and jumps (long jump, triple jump) specialist for the Cedar Falls, Iowa-based campus said a school record and an NCAA qualifying time was the furthest thing from his mind when entering the meet. “I wasn’t really thinking of a record during the meet,” said Davis in a recent telephone interview. “I was just trying to do everything that I’ve been trained to do and not try to think about too many things. My coach always tells me to just relax.” Late last month, the junior was at his best at the Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships in Terre Haute, Indiana, win- ning two individual championships and the relay title for the Panthers. He won the 100m dash in a time of 10.42 seconds. He also won the 200m in a personal best time of 21.09. To finish off a triple-gold-medal effort, Davis ran the anchor leg of UNI’s men’s 4-x- 100m relay team, winning in a time of 40.30 seconds. For his efforts, Davis received the conference’s most valuable athlete award for the second time. He first won the award in his freshman season. Davis’s rise to a national-level com- petitor has come through hard work and, above all, patience. As someone who had dominated the provincial high school scene in both the sprints and jumping events, coming to compete at an American program was a real eye opener. “The competitive level was very good at OFSAA (Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association), but there would be only four or five guys who would stand out,” he said. “Here, there are 40 or 50 guys (who stand out) in the same event. You’re a number here. Everyone is so talented here. “But, I’ve learned to have patience with myself. I’ve learned a lot of life lessons here and patience is one of them. You can’t expect things too fast. Patience and trust are important. You have to believe in yourself and what you’re doing because eventually it’s going to work.” Davis also competed at the presti- gious Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa where he came third in the 100m, hindered by a slow start, in a time of 10.37. He also helped the 4-x-200m relay team to a sixth-place finish, with a school-record-setting time of 1:24.93. The four-time Canadian national ju- nior triple jump champ and two-time national long jump champ has enjoyed success in each of his three years in Iowa. Last year, as a sophomore, he es- tablished a new school indoor record in the men’s 60m dash with a clocking of 6.75 seconds while finishing first at the Badger Invitational Meet. As a freshman, he posted outstand- ing results at the Missouri Valley Con- ference Outdoor Track and Field Cham- pionships by winning the 100m dash (10.43), placing fourth in the 200m (21.38), running the anchor leg of the winning 4-x-100m relay team, finishing second in the triple jump (50 feet, three- quarter inches) and fifth in the long jump (24 feet, five-and-a-half inches). He also established a new school record in the triple jump with a leap of 51 feet, eight-and-a-quarter inches at the Jim Duncan Invitational Meet. After the NCAA championships, Davis says he’ll return to Canada to work with his old coaches, Cyril and Curtis Sahadath, with an eye to compet- ing in the Canadian Track and Field Championships this summer. “I’m looking forward to coming home and competing in the Canadians. I’ll have to qualify, so I’ll see what I have to do (in order to compete),” he said.

The Pickering High School graduate has enjoyed an outstanding season on the track during the current outdoor season, including setting a new UNI school record in the 100-metre dash. PICKERING —Pickering hur- dler Perdita Felicien was on the right track to winning a national col- legiate championship this weekend. The Canadian Olympian and member of the University of Illinois women’s track and field team cruised in her preliminary heat of the 100-metre hurdles at the Nation- al Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. Entering the NCAA champi- onships as the top-ranked hurdler in the U.S. and number four in the world, Felicien won her preliminary heat in a comfortable 12.92 seconds Thursday night. It was the second- fastest time registered in the heat, which pushed her into the semifinal of the event. That race was run Fri- day night at 9:25 p.m. eastern time, after the News Advertiser’s press deadline. The final was Saturday. “This was my first race in almost two weeks, and it was a little rougher than I expected,” said Feli- cien in a story posted on the Illinois athletic Web site. “But history shows that I usually get faster as the rounds go on, so hopefully I worked out the kinks today.” Felicien heats up in bid for national hurdles title OAKRIDGE GOLF CLUB 11 km. north of Hwy. 7 on Ashburn Road follow the signs From 416 area code:905.649.6212 • From Port Perry:905.985.8390 www.golfoakridge.com Opening this Summer...

The latest to run for the University of Ten- nessee at Chattanooga Mockingbirds (Mocs) is talented distance specialist Ian Mayne, who re- cently signed a letter of intent to attend the south- ern school on a four-year athletic scholarship, be- ginning in September. Mayne, 18, will join a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 men’s track and field program that has become a home away from home for Canadian collegiate runners. In fact, the majority of athletes on the UTC men’s track team hail from Canada, including fellow Pickering res- ident and distance runner Ryan Kendall, who’s the defending Southern Conference men’s cross- country champion. “It should be a great experience,” said Mayne. “I’m very excited to be going down there. I’m ex- cited to contribute to the team. I know there are lots of Canadians, so I’m going to go down there and add to the contingent.” The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School stu- dent also had scholarship offers from such schools as the University of Memphis, Eastern Michigan University and Iona College, but sever- al factors led him to choose the Chattanooga campus. “The coach has a great work ethic and it’s a great atmosphere to train in,” explained Mayne of the program, which competes in the Southern Conference. “And, it’s a nice, warm climate down there.” In addition to running in distance events, in- cluding his specialties the 1,500 and 3,000 me- tres, Mayne will also run cross-country for the Mocs. For the time being, Mayne’s focus will be on earning gold in his final track and field season at St. Mary at the upcoming Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) Track and Field Championships in Toronto next week. Mayne will compete in both the 1,500 and 3,000m after finishing second in the 3,000m and fourth in the 1,500m at the recent OFSAA central regionals, also in Toronto. “I’m definitely looking to coming in top five or better in the 3,000 and 1,500 metres,” said Mayne, who ran to two bronze medals in the two events at last year’s OFSAA championships. Mayne also runs for the Durham X-L’s Track Club, under coach Dan Lapham. In March, he represented the club at the annual National Scholastic Track and Field Championships in New York City where he finished second in the two-mile race. Mayne will be introduced quickly to running at the U.S. collegiate level as the cross-country season starts in September. Mayne is also looking forward to competing at the Canadian Cross-Country Championships in Moncton, N.B. in December. He’s hoping to qualify for the 2002 World Cross-Country Cham- pionships. Mayne will major in pre-medicine while at- tending UTC. Ian Mayne off to Tennessee on scholarship, will study pre-medicine PICKERING – Pickering’s Ian Mayne will be running for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in both track and field and cross country, starting in September.

The sixth-seeded Spartans were defeated 20-5 by third-ranked North Park High School of Brantford in the quarter-final game at the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Asso- ciation (OFSAA) Boys’ ‘AAA’ Rugby Championships. Justin Bruce scored the lone try for Dunbarton. Meanwhile, on the soccer pitch, Dunbarton’s senior boys’ team had a tie and a loss to show for its first two games Thursday at the OFSAA boys’ ‘AAA’ Soccer Championships in Hamilton. The 12th-seeded Spartans played to a 1-1 draw with the number-five ranked Thomson team in the first game. In the second contest, however, Dunbarton was defeated 3-0 by num- ber-four ranked Brennan. Meanwhile, the Pickering High School Trojans senior girls’ soccer team finished pool play with a 1-1-1 record at the OFSAA girls’ ‘AAA’ Soccer Championships in Gloucester in Thursday action In their first-round game, Picker- ing defeated the St. Thomas Aquinas Lords of Brampton 3-1. In the second game, however, the Trojans lost to the Lockerby C.S. Vikings of northern Ontario by a 2-1 count. In Game 3, the girls tied the Lisgar C.I. Lords, from the Ottawa area, 2-2. Scoring for the Trojans thus far in the event were Nathalie Urbas with two, Jasmine Urbas, Andrea Park, Natalie Davey and Andrea Mee with one apiece. Pickering finished third in its pool, meaning it didn’t qualify for playoff action.

The meet continued Friday after the News Advertiser’s press deadline. In the junior women’s 400-metre dash, Shannon Boodram of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School ran to a fourth-place finish in a time of 58.76 seconds.
