Ron Gallipeau was one of 26 Grade 12 students selected for the final year of ‘First Connection’, a provincewide summer career and internship program funded by the Hilary M. Weston Foundation for Youth. Mr. Gallipeau, in a press re- lease, was described as someone who “has taken every opportunity to better himself by contributing time to his community”. A St. Mary Catholic Secondary School student, he is a volunteer in the Columbian Squires organiza- tion, a branch of the Knights of Columbus, and for 13 years with Scouts Canada. Mr. Gallipeau is also a member of St. Mary’s school outreach pro- gram, responsible for fund-raising activities that include collecting sleeping bags for the homeless and toys for needy children. He will receive a $3,000 bursary and his internship is at Bell Canada.

Limited Time Only Offer Expires July 16th/01 BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM — They’re out there on the lake from spring to fall, helping anyone in dis- tress on the water. The Pickering Auxiliary Rescue Association (PARA) is also involved in safe-boating programs so there are fewer people in need of their ser- vices. The group has been pa- trolling Lake Ontario since 1967 and in that time it has helped more than 3,000 peo- ple in emergency situations, including 260 that were life- threatening, says Ken Phillips, public relations officer for PARA. There are 60 volunteer members with the organiza- tion, including 23 closing in on 30 years of service. “We’re out Wednesday to Friday evenings, all day Satur- days and Sundays and holi- days,” Mr. Phillips says. “We patrol from the Rouge (River) to Whitby. That’s our main area. If we’re called some- where else, we’ll do that.” As commodore Tony Buck- ley points out, “The lake has no boundary. We’ve worked with the U.S. Coast Guard.” PARA is part of the Cana- dian Coast Guard Auxiliary, a non-profit organization that assists the Canadian Coast Guard and the Department of National Defence with search and rescue operations, as well as safe-boating programs. In addition, the group is also involved in preventive programs, and going to boat shows and schools to talk about safety on the water. They also perform safety in- spections on boats, checking to ensure the equipment on board is in shape, as well as making sure the proper equip- ment is available. “We run from early May to October,” Mr. Phillips says. “It’s 3,500 hours of service we put into the community. We like a crew of six, with a helmsman, a radio operator, a navigator, the Cox in charge and two lookouts.” In addition to patrols, members also take part in maintenance of the boat and training in the spring, Mr. Phillips notes. One recent rescue was a fisherman whose vessel had broken down about two miles east of the Rouge. “We had to bring him home,” Mr. Buckley says. “Two miles is one of the close ones.” The commodore notes “one of the unfortunate ones” was PARA’s work in the search for the six lost boys more than six years ago. The youths went out on the lake one night and were never seen again. “We did a lot of public re- lations on that,” Mr. Buckley says. “It’s one of the less-than- pleasant parts of the task, but Rescue group sets course for PARA-dise on lake The Pickering Auxiliary Rescue Association has helped thousands since its beginning in 1967 575 Kingston Rd.

Recovering gambling addicts struggle to rebuild their lives This is the first in a series of stories looking at the proposal to rebuild the Picov Downs op- eration in Ajax. The plan, if ap- proved by the Town of Ajax and the Province, will see 800 slot machines, an expanded betting theatre and a five-furlong race- track added to the site. BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM — The lure, the excitement, the challenge, the chance to win a lot of money with no real effort. Gambling. It can be any- thing from buying lottery tick- ets to playing slots at a casino. There’s the office hockey pool, Nevada tickets in convenience stores, horse racing and Internet wagering. The opportunity to put down a few dollars and let Lady Luck ride has grown sig- nificantly in the past decade. All this gambling brings with it concerns — is there too much? Are people becoming addicted to gaming, wagering or betting? It’s an argument being heard in the debate over 800 slot ma- chines proposed for a redevel- oped Picov Downs in Ajax. A recent social study on the plan, RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo What a blast!

Brandon was aiming for pals Tyler Robinson and Mitchell Whyte, who were on the mark with their fire. Durham plan shelters homeless Transitional housing, steps to receiving funds among details of framework for ongoing issue DURHAM — Building new emergency shelters and increasing the number of tran- sitional housing units in Durham are two of the top pri- orities identified in the Re- gion’s Community Plan for Homelessness in Durham. The plan, approved by Re- gional councillors July 4, is in- tended to provide a long-term approach to homelessness in Durham. It aims to give local service organizations a frame- work within which to work and to assist agencies in making the best use of the funding that’s available to address homelessness. “The plan looks at what ser- vices exist, where the gaps are and what the priorities are,” said Shirley Van Steen, Durham’s director of housing, in an interview following the council meeting. The top priorities identified include the need for more shel- ters in Durham, the need to build more transitional hous- ing, the need to increase out- reach services linking home- less people with resources, im- proving health and employ- ment services and addressing homelessness prevention strategies. The plan states emergency shelters are needed to meet the needs of women escaping do- mestic violence and people who have experienced a per- sonal crisis, such as job loss, which can impact a person’s ability to retain housing. Ms. Van Steen reported the plan, prepared under the direc- tion of the Durham advisory committee on homelessness, also sets out a process to be followed when community groups make requests for fund- ing. Pickering residents can have their say on restructuring committee structure BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING — Communi- ty members are being invited to join a stakeholders’ forum to have their say in how Picker- ing’s new standing committee system will be set up. City councillors on Monday approved a draft discussion paper that will serve as the basis for debate by members of the forum. Councillors voted in May to establish a new commit- tee system. The discussion paper outlines the framework for the establishment of plan- ning, finance and operations committees. “This is a good starting point for discussion,” said Ward 2 Re- gional Councillor Mark Hol- land, who spearheaded the move towards a new system. He noted the meetings are proposed in a way that “recog- nizes the commitment that we need to continue to have accessi- ble dialogue” with City staff and members of the public. As proposed, the planning committee would meet in the evening on the second Monday of each month, the committee of the whole, formerly called the executive committee, would also meet that evening and the finance and operations commit- tees would meet during the day on the fourth Monday of each month. Finance would meet at 10 a.m. and operations at 1 p.m. Regular council meetings would be held on the first and third Mondays of each month. The committee of the whole and council will include all seven elected officials, while the other committees will be com- prised of three councillors and the mayor. When councillors voted to adopt the structure in early May they also approved up to an ad- MARK HOLLAND Stakeholders’forum ‘a good starting point for discussion’.

According to the plan, funding for the initiatives identified by the com- mittee is available from the ‘support- ing community partnerships initiative’ through Human Resources Develop- ment Canada (HRDC) and several other provincial and Regional pro- grams. Ms. Van Steen reported the cre- ation of the plan was a requirement of the federal government, which con- tributed $40,000 toward the study. She noted the plan still has to be approved by HRDC. An annual progress report on meet- ing the goals and objectives outlined in the plan will be prepared by the Durham advisory committee on homelessness each year. Federal grants help fund Region’s homeless plan it’s reality,” Mr. Phillips says. “We push the precaution side now. We don’t like to go out.” The PARA boat is 33-feet long, with twin 210-horsepower engines, and the vessel can reach a top speed of 34 knots, or about 40 miles an hour. The City of Pickering and Town of Ajax both provide financial sup- port, while other money comes through fund-raising activities.

He also noted Mr. Clarke spent 25 days in jail since he was arrested and would be looking at about a year in custody before his case goes to trial. “It’s inconceivable he would pose any danger to the public (if released),” he said. Justice Sheppard concurred. He aggressively challenged prosecutor Jinwon Kim on the circumstances surrounding Mr. Clarke’s arrest, noting a photo- graph of Mr. Clarke “beside a sign” was all police had at the time. “It seems people can be thrown in jail on pretty flimsy (evidence),” the justice snapped at one point. Four court-approved sureties posted a combined $35,000, while Mr. Clarke himself put up $5,000. No deposit was required for his release. Mr. Clarke must not attend demonstrations and is barred from constituency offices and the provincial legislature under the terms of bail. During the June 28, bail hear- ing, court was shown the video- taped statement of witness Karen Wild, who, subsequent to Mr. Clarke’s arrest, told Durham in- vestigators that, “He was the one instigating the demonstration.” The woman, described as a constituent, told police she saw Mr. Clarke standing in the office pointing at objects, directing the other protesters. BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —Anti-poverty activist John Clarke has been re- leased on $40,000 bail after a Superior Court justice called the evidence linking him to the ran- sacking of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s office, “pretty flim- sy”. Mr. Clarke, leader of the On- tario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP), was originally denied bail in provincial court by justice of the peace Robert Harris June 29. That ruling, however, was overturned Monday by Justice Patrick Sheppard at a detention review hearing in Superior Court of Justice in Whitby. In his decision, Justice Shep- pard agreed with defence lawyers Howard Morton and Peter Rosenthal and said Mr. Harris “misunderstood and mis- applied” the Criminal Code sec- tion dealing with bail. “From what I’ve heard it would appear the Crown has some fundamental weaknesses in its case,” the justice noted. “In my view there is no reason to keep Mr. Clarke in custody until trial.” Mr. Clarke, a 47-year-old Toronto resident, is among 19 OCAP members facing charges of unlawful assembly, mischief over $5,000 and causing a distur- bance following the June 12 demonstration at Mr. Flaherty’s constituency office on Dundas Street in downtown Whitby. Mr. Clarke is also charged with breaching a court order (bail conditions stemming from charges flowing from his role in the June 15, 2000 riots at Queen’s Park, including that he not participate in unlawful protests). In the Whitby incident, a group of protestors stormed the Whitby-Ajax MPP’s office, throwing furniture out on the street, turning over cabinets, slashing a Jim Flaherty sign and pasting ‘Defeat Harris’ posters on windows. OCAP has publicly taken credit for the “office eviction” as part of its campaign of “econom- ic disruption” targeting the Mike Harris government. Police arrested two OCAP members at the scene and 10 others after stopping a bus the group had chartered. Court has heard Mr. Clarke was later ar- rested after police obtained a photograph, allegedly taken by an accused OCAP member dur- ing the incident, placing Mr. Clarke at the scene. During the hearing Monday, Mr. Rosenthal argued Mr. Clarke’s arrest by police was “unlawful” and the evidence against his client was extremely weak. “There was no reasonable and probable grounds” to believe Mr. Clarke had committed any NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 11, 2001 PAGE A3 A/P Following weeks in jail, OCAP leader released Witness says John Clarke at scene of violent trashing of Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty’s constituency office JOHN CLARKE OCAP leader released from jail this week.

But, when her family received a letter in early May notifying them their beloved home in north Pickering was slated for demolition, she decided to speak up, not only for her immediate family, but for the other women who’ve lived in and loved the small cottage she has called home for the past 16 years. Ms. Barclay and her husband Gary, a descendent of one of the earliest settlers in the area, live in what is known as the Tullis Cottage on Concession Seven. The modest three-bedroom home is thought to be as many as 160 years old. It was once the residence of the Elder George Barclay, a founder of the local Baptist church and a leader in the Re- bellion of 1837. “If we’d had a phone call that a par- ent had died we couldn’t have been more taken aback,” Ms. Barclay said in a recent interview, calling the unexpect- ed letter a “sucker punch”. She said the family received a hand- delivered letter May 3 stating the public works department of Transport Canada, which acts as the landlord for properties on the federal lands here, has “decided to evict us and to demolish the house. “This house to me is a beautiful little cottage. It just doesn’t deserve that sen- tence. I couldn’t see it reach that fate. This house has been cherished for many years.” She reported the family has been given until Aug. 31 to vacate the home. “I don’t really blame anyone... I don’t blame public works... they’re doing their job,” she said. However, she disputes the reasoning behind the demolition order. Ms. Barclay said a mould test was conducted earlier this year and “they are saying it’s toxic mould.” But she said she’s “puzzled” by that because the report on the test’s findings indicated that washing the affected areas with bleach and water was all that was needed to take care of the problem. “Their concern is our health and rightly so but our health is fine,” she said. “I wouldn’t take a chance with my family’s health... I would call it a day.” She said any visible mould has been cleaned up and said her husband has of- fered to take care of any other problems. “We’re not rednecks (sitting here chanting), ‘hell no we won’t go’,” she said. “I have a strong sense of fairness and this is just not fair. If something can be worked out, I hope they’ll be amenable to that.” Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague, who’s been working with the family in an effort to save the home, said in a recent interview he’s hopeful the Tullis Cottage will be declared a Heritage building. “My view is that it is a heritage home and every effort must be made to pre- serve it,” he said, explaining if the home is designated a heritage home, then the demolition could not proceed and arrangements would be made to restore the building. “That is my hope and my expecta- tion,” he said. “I think we can come up with a solution on this.” Janine Small, spokesperson for Transport Canada’s public works de- partment, confirmed the Barclay family has been given “a 120-day leave termi- nation notice” because toxic mould was discovered in the home. She reported demolition “might be an option”, but said public works will wait to hear the outcome of the Federal Heritage Buildings review. Ms. Small said she could not com- ment on the extent of the mould damage, noting, “you don’t really know until you really get in there and start looking around.” She added, “we really take our re- sponsibility as landlords very seriously” and said public works is “noticing that there are a number of homes (on the fed- eral lands) that may have this problem.” Meanwhile, Ms. Barclay said she’s prepared to do whatever it takes to save her home. “The Barclays stood up in 1837 and in 1972 (when the land was expropriat- ed for an airport),” she said. “Here we are in 2001.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 11, 2001 ditional $2,500 in remuneration for each new committee councillors serve on. Under that motion, councillors would be restricted to participating on two of the three committees so the most they could earn was an extra $5,000 a year. However, Coun. Holland said Mon- day the draft discussion paper removes the additional remuneration that was ap- proved by councillors. City clerk Bruce Taylor noted that al- though the original motion on remuner- ation has not been rescinded, the issue will not be part of the discussion by the stakeholders’ forum and won’t be part of the bylaw he prepares for council’s consideration in August. Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan said he was concerned the extra $5,000 remuneration still stands but added it’s simply “not up for discussion in the stakeholders’forum”. Mayor Wayne Arthurs added the process for the forum will “supersede” the earlier motion passed by council. “Hopefully this framework is more acceptable and more functional,” he said. The stakeholders’forum will meet in July and a report and bylaw will be prepared for council’s consideration at its August meeting, which would allow for the implementation of the standing committee system in September. Anyone interested in taking part in the forum can call City clerk Bruce Tay- lor at 905-420-4611 for more informa- tion.

Police looking for Pickering stabbing suspect PICKERING —Police are seek- ing the public’s help in identifying a man wanted for a robbery in which the victim was stabbed. The incident happened in the early hours of June 17 in the Sultana Square area of Pickering, near Whites Road and Stroud’s Lane. At roughly 1:15 a.m., a group of males aged 18 to 23 approached an- other group of males in a walkway in Sultana Square. The 18-year-old vic- tim was robbed of his wallet, which held identification, a bank card and jewelry. The victim was then stabbed three times in the back, sustaining non life-threatening injuries. A suspect then tried to use the stolen bank card at a local automatic banking machine, where a photograph of him was obtained. Anyone with information on this robbery or this suspect is asked to call Detective Nick Lisi of the Durham Regional Police Ajax/Pickering crimi- nal investigation branch. The number is 905-683-9100, ext. 2530; or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —An Ajax council- lor is hoping MPP Janet Ecker will help ensure there’s more funding for the local hospital, but the mayor isn’t as optimistic. Wards 3 and 4 Regional Councillor Jim McMaster said a letter to Health Minis- ter Tony Clement from Ms. Ecker, the Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge representative, shows she’s “trying to inter- cede on our behalf to find out what is going on. She’s as dis- traught about it as we are.” Ms. Ecker wrote her letter, dated June 22, after Rouge Valley Health System presi- dent and chief executive offi- cer Allan Whiting wrote a let- ter June 7 to area mayors say- ing services at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre may have to be reduced. Mr. Whiting stated hospital board members “are suggest- ing that we move to a one hospital/two-site approach. “This would entail build- ing on our strengths at the Centenary site (in Scarbor- ough) to continue to provide a full-service hospital there, and minimizing risk by sig- nificantly reducing our expo- sure at the Ajax and Pickering site.” Mr. Whiting’s letter was written after a decision in May by Durham council not to help fund $100-million in expansions at the Ajax hospi- tal and at Lakeridge Health Corporation sites. “In view of the trouble- some issues raised in the let- ter,” Ms. Ecker wrote, “I am seeking clarification regard- ing the status of the capital expansion plans for the Ajax and Pickering site that were originally submitted to the ministry. Has the ministry’s position changed since you wrote to me on April 30, 2001? “I know you agree with me that in order to meet the needs of our residents, west Durham must have a full-service hos- pital. Nothing less is accept- able to our community.” When Durham council voted against helping the hos- pitals, it also requested the Province allow the Region to impose development charges (DC) for hospital expansions. Mayor Steve Parish noted Finance Minister and Whitby- Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty has- n’t responded to that request. “Unless the government supports that, there won’t be any local funding for hospi- tals,” Mayor Parish said. “I’m extremely pessimistic the Province will do what they need to help the Ajax-Picker- ing site.” Councillors also criticized a four-page advertisement from the hospital in the News Advertiser on Sunday, June 24. “There was a very definite anti-councillor message,” Ward 2 local Councillor Joe Dickson said, adding it was “uncalled for.” Mayor Parish agreed, say- ing the ad “took the tack local councillors are the villains in this and the Province isn’t the problem. The Province is the problem. “There’s no indication from the Province they’re moving on DCs. The legisla- ture is still sitting. If they’re serious, they could table the legislation. The Province isn’t prepared to move this for- ward.” He called Ms. Ecker’s let- ter “face-saving in what is be- coming a health crisis locally and provincially.” Mayor Parish also criti- cized Ms. Ecker and Mr. Fla- herty for not speaking out on the issue. “So far, their silence has been deafening.” Coun. McMaster said the Town should wait a few more weeks before taking action. “The minister (Ms. Ecker) knows our final meeting (be- fore the summer recess) is on July 16. “She’ll let us know before then,” he added. Ecker letter given thumbs up, thumbs down Mayor, McMaster differ on MPP’s missive to health minister regarding ‘troublesome issues’raised over future of local hospital AJAX —A 19-year-old man was slashed in the head, cheek and hand with an exacto knife after he was confronted by a youth and asked for a cigarette. Durham Regional Po- lice said the daylight attack happened on Kingston Road in Ajax at 9:45 a.m. Friday while the victim was walking to work. The teenager asked for cigarettes and pulled out the knife when told the vic- tim didn’t have any. The man was cut on the fore- head and cheek and suf- fered a hand wound while protecting himself. He was also punched. He was taken to the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre and treated and re- leased. The suspect is male, white, between 16 and 18 years, 180 to 230 pounds, muscular with a slight French accent. He wore blue shorts and a white T- shirt.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. These are heady days for On- tario’s Liberals, but they would be wrong if they feel they already have the next election wrapped up. The opposition party, led by Dalton McGuinty, has decisively won byelections in two of three ridings that had been held by Pre- mier Mike Harris’s Progressive Conservatives and became vacant through resignation or death in the past year. The Liberals’latest gain was in the suburbs north of Toronto and they earlier won in a similar dor- mitory area near Hamilton that the Tories had been able to count their own since Mr. Harris came up with his Common Sense Revolu- tion of slashing taxes and services in the mid-1990s. The Liberals also have been running as high as 53 per cent in polls, enough to win a majority, while Mr. Harris has fallen to around 34 per cent. Political science professors and columnists have suggested Mr. Harris is in danger of losing the next election, due in 2003, and may step down to give his party a better chance under a different leader or that he may even be pushed out by a rebellious caucus. But byelections are no conclu- sive guide to general elections. In the early 1970s the Liberals, led by Robert Nixon, won three seats from the Tories in byelections after ministers left. A chief aide to Mr. Nixon then introduced himself to reporters as the person designated to facilitate the transfer of power from the To- ries to Liberals, but it never hap- pened, because the Liberals not only lost the election in 1975, but fell to third party in the legislature. The Liberals also provide the most dramatic example of polls misleading. Their party, led by Lyn McLeod, was at 50 per cent or more in polls for three solid years up to the 1995 election. But once the campaign started and voters focused more on the is- sues, Mr. Harris offered firm poli- cies for cutting taxes, which caught on with many, while the Liberals dithered over unveiling theirs. The Liberals were quickly overtaken by Mr. Harris and wound up with only 31 per cent. Precedents are no guide to everything, but if you want anoth- er that makes it tougher for the Liberals, there is the tradition that the Ontario party finds it difficult to win general elections when the Liberals are in government feder- ally. In the past 50 years the Ontario Liberals won power only in the 1980s when the Tories were gov- erning in Ottawa, and the Liberals are set to be in office in Ottawa in 2003. Among bigger snags for the Liberals, voters have heard con- cerns daily that Mr. Harris cut ser- vices, particularly those protecting the environment, too much. But in the next election many will see a broader picture and their uppermost thoughts will not be that Mr. Harris reduced services but that he cut taxes more than any before him. Business particularly would be reluctant to see Mr. Harris go, be- cause he has done so much for it in reducing its tax burden, making it easier to impose demands, includ- ing longer working hours on em- ployees, and weakening unions. If business feels Mr. Harris is seriously threatened, it will pour funds into financing his general election that were not in evidence in the byelections and make all past spending seem like penny- pinching. The notion Mr. Harris would step down because he is heavily criticized and low in the polls does not conform with his history as a man of definite views who waited patiently and stubbornly a long time to put them in practice and would be unlikely to give up this opportunity lightly. The prospect of a rebellion that would force him out is even more remote. All his MPPs have been supporters of his general thrust and complicit in what he has done and could not claim to be alterna- tives. Oddly, for Mr. McGuinty to succeed he will have to be a bit like Mr. Harris, because it would be suicide for him to promise to rescind Mr. Harris’s tax cuts, and he will have to say he will find other ways of funding improved services. The Liberal leader in fact is taking a swing at this by launching Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario Golf Tour, a series of tournaments to raise funds for his party, and his staff say he has long been a golf enthusiast and is not copying, but this is really trespassing on Mr. Harris’s territory. History’s not necessarily on their side Liberals better be careful not to count their chickens just yet Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 11, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Teachers have no say in pension fund assets To the editor: Re: ‘Are teachers’ claims a smokescreen?’, Eric Dowd col- umn, June 27. Perhaps Mr. Dowd should at- tempt to be “better educated and informed” about how pension plans work. He implies teachers have control over the investment decisions of the plan, when in fact, they have absolutely no con- trol over what investments are made. The investments are made by the pension board, which has a mandate to make the best deci- sions possible in the interest of benefit security for plan members. The fact the pension board has been so successful has meant a constant barrage of criticism from people who are, frankly, envious of that success. Teachers pay between 7.3 and 8.9 per cent of their earnings into the plan. We do not have a choice about belonging to it. If we had any say over what investments were made, we would have sold our shares in a media chain (re- lentless teacher-bashers) long ago. The only way teachers can dis- associate themselves from the in- vestments mentioned is to leave the profession, and I believe the provincial government is doing its best to see that happen. S.M. Ryan-Fung, Pickering Pension plan off-limits for teachers To the editor: Re: ‘Are teachers’ claims a smokescreen?’, Eric Dowd col- umn, June 27. Perhaps Mr. Dowd would like to know this fund is not like going to the bank to select a portfolio of companies to invest in. Teachers do not directly administer this fund, nor is their input sought as to the companies or funds select- ed. The mandate given to the ad- ministrators of this fund by the provincial government was to in- vest money so the greatest returns could be realized. Many teachers do take a strong stand on issues such as smoking — just last month every Grade 5 student in both the Durham Catholic and public school boards attended ‘Racing Against Drugs’. The forum, prepared in part by teachers and others in the commu- nity, addressed issues such as smoking. To imply we are morally bank- rupt because a fund, which we do not administer directly, has invest- ed in conglomerates that own, among other things, tobacco com- panies, is taking an unfair swipe at teachers. Teachers are very much a part of anti-smoking campaigns, constantly advising students of the health risks of this activity. Teachers also promote the col- lection of money for agencies such as UNICEF and Share Life, which support the downtrodden in many parts of the world. Food dri- ves for local charities, fasting for charity and other such events have been published in your paper and indicate how involved teachers are in such concerns. I do not deny for one minute that the fund may purchase stock from companies that I do not per- sonally support, but I was never asked for any input, nor was any other teacher that I am aware of. We do not have any direct say in how this fund is administered or managed. Instead of focusing on the positive things many teach- ers do have a direct input on, such as those I have mentioned, Mr. Dowd has chosen once again to slam teachers. I find this stretch- ing of the facts to be reprehensi- ble. B. P. Wessely, Pickering Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com You said it Editorial cartoon The question was: Are you supporting Toronto’s bid to win the 2008 Olympic Games? Once again local governments are picking up the slack as upper levels continue to miss the mark. The latest culprit is the federally supported Athletics Canada. Always notorious for the lack of financial sup- port afforded to this nation’s top athletes, the need for cash is spilling over to municipal and regional govern- ments. This month Oshawa track notable Patricia Mayers came knocking on both the City of Oshawa’s and the Re- gion’s doors in an attempt to secure financial aid to par- ticipate in the World Youth Track and Field Champi- onships which begin this week in Hungary. All told, the trip, a vital competition in pursuing a spot in the 2004 Olympics, will cost Mayers —and three other Durham athletes on the team — about $2,800. Not surprisingly, there is no funding from Athletics Canada for the event. While there seems to be plenty of money to pay for the bid to host the Olympics in 2008, we continue to fail the athletes who seek to compete in the actual Games. Oshawa, to its credit, came up with $500 for Mayers, and while the Region gave nothing, it did decide to in- vestigate the possibility of establishing a fund for local athletes. It’s a noble decision and the need for support is definitely there, but let’s not take all the heat off the feds just yet. The Region is already facing an anticipated $90-mil- lion shortfall in capital reserves to cover repairs needed for local social housing in the next 20 years. Hospitals are looking to local tax bases to cover shortfalls our federal and provincial taxes should be covering. The more re- sponsibility local governments take on, the less the feds and the Province feel they have to do. The idea of stream- lining government and what it does is fine, as long as the taxpayers aren’t getting dumped upon. Once again, there’s a body in place supposedly de- signed to deal with an issue that is failing. Talent doesn’t necessarily cut it for Canadian athletes. The lack of government support means you have to cut training time to sell yourself, and, for older athletes, be lucky enough to have the support of an understanding employer. It’s not an easy task for athletes in this country. In the cases where athletes are funded, it’s a pitiful stipend. Thankfully, in this case, the Royal Bank came to the rescue and will cover the costs of all 24 Canadian athletes competing at the World Youth Championships. It’s a last- minute effort that the federal government should be em- barrassed about. It’s time for this federal government to have a serious look at the role of Athletics Canada and the wishes of its citizens. If we as a nation demand more of our athletes on the international stage then this is not the time to turn our backs on them. Hilda Laurie said,“It will encourage more people to come see the city. It will bring more money to the city.” Anne Newman said, “I think it will be good for the city. We will probably get improvements that we would not otherwise get.” Nicole Mulligan said, “I think it’s good for the economy. It will be exciting to get to see it for once.” Too poor to fund, but rich enough to bid Athletics Canada comes up shamefully short once again in promoting sport 24 Hour Access 420-4660 cityofpickering.com420-2222 Lawn Bowling Club South Pickering 7 days a week 905-420-0597 Family Fun!

The per- centage of people gambling will remain the same, but the number of addicted gamblers will increase. Pinewood Centre addiction counsel- lor Randy Uyenaka supports the theory of more opportunity leading to more ad- dicted gamblers. “Ten years ago, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity,” he says noting there are now casinos, slots at racetracks, off- track gambling, bingos with three dif- ferent seatings, and lotteries every day. “It (opportunity) has played a signif- icant role in them playing. A lot of our gamblers say there are plenty of local places to go, but putting one in Ajax will make it more difficult for them,” Mr. Uyenaka adds. The percentage of people with a problem “remains fairly consistent. But with more people gambling, we’ll see more problem gamblers,” Mr. Uyenaka says. “More are doing it. There are a higher number of pathological or prob- lem gamblers.” An Ajax resident, who doesn’t want his name used, says he and his wife be- came pathological gamblers, addicted to playing the slots. His concern is also with the availability of having slots in his home town. “It is clear that the availability of casinos increases the likelihood some- one will go and move up from a social gambler to a problem gambler to a pathological gambler,” the man writes in a letter. “If we can save our residents from changing from being a problem gambler to a pathological gambler by having him or her drive to a casino out- side Ajax, then we have accomplished a lot.” Former Oshawa councillor Dave Conway is a recovering gambling ad- dict. In 1998 he was convicted of theft from a social club in Oshawa, having used the money to feed his addiction. Whether there’s a casino or not, “those people will find a place to gam- ble,” Mr. Conway says. “The only thing with Picov is it’s a more convenient lo- cation. With convenience, chances are people will go more frequently.” Horse racing was his choice for wa- gering as he would go to Woodbine reg- ularly or to off-track betting parlours. “The excitement I guess is the best way to describe it. I didn’t know it at the time,” Mr. Conway says. The frequency and the increased need for money had “a snowball effect. It really became out of control,” he notes. “Now, I try to stay away from all gambling. One (form) can trigger anoth- er.” The excitement, the urge, and the thrill of gambling are reasons cited by addicts, Mr. Uyenaka says. “Gamblers are more concerned with the mental aspect, the urges to gamble,” he says. “The reasons they go gambling, the money is secondary. It’s the whole gambling experience and the feeling it provides, the euphoric rush and escap- ing daily life.” One of the reasons slots are addictive is “it’s a game of constant play. There’s not a lot of time in between. It camou- flages or masks the potential harm,” Mr. Uyenaka states. “A slot player will say they can’t believe the money or time they were playing. We know with a game of constant playing, they don’t have down time to think of what they’re playing.” The Ajax man says, “When we were gambling all sense of perspective was gone as more and more time was spent trying to figure out how to spend more time at the casino.” He and his wife started gambling in 1997, heading to a casino in January of that year. On their first trip, they won $16,000 on the slots. A week later, they went back and won the same amount. “We couldn’t believe our luck and the way we were treated by the casino. There was no doubt we were hooked,” he says. “In retrospect, it is ironic that our gambling problems started as a result of the very reason most people gamble in the first place — we won a significant amount of money early in our gambling experiences. Whether subconsciously or not, we began to believe that if we con- tinued to play the slot machines, we would win like that again and experi- ence all that came with a big jackpot win. “The downward spiral started almost immediately after those big wins,” he adds. ‘When we were gambling all sense of perspective was gone as more and more time was spent trying to figure out how to spend more time at the casino.’ RECOVERING GAMBLING ADDICT That spiral included running up an enormous debt, almost having their marriage fall apart and isolating them- selves from family members. “The first thing that happened is that we could not stop going. At first, we re- stricted ourselves to going only on weekends. Then it was every weekend. Then it was several times each week- end. Then it was also occasionally dur- ing the week. Our whole social focus was on making time to go to play the slots,” he says. Secondly, they began to spend more and more each time. They would start with a specific amount, but soon ex- ceeded that. “Then we started using the bank ma- chines to get money from our charge cards. Then we increased the number of charge cards. Ultimately, we had to refi- nance three times over a two-year span to consolidate our gambling debts. We almost lost our house. Gambling almost wiped us out financially. We still have several years to go before the gambling debts are all paid off,” he says. The couple began lying to family and friends, and then their marriage started suffering. They tried various ways of control- ling the problem, but it wasn’t until 2000 when “we hit what we considered to be rock bottom. We just could not stop gambling. We were close to losing our house and all our money. We were socially isolated from our friends and family. We were desperate,” he says. That’s when they were referred to the Pinewood Centre. Even then, they denied having a problem. Mr. Uyenaka says that’s not uncom- mon. “When a person is in counselling, gauging the motivation for change is important,” he says. “In the early stages, they say it’s not much of a concern. They’ll say their employer or spouse says they should come. We provide more education on what the problem is. They become informed and the addi- tional information helps them gauge their situation. “We try to help them develop strate- gies to initiate change. Financially, it may be limiting access to money. One of the contributing factors is easy access to money. Let someone else hold their credit card. Have the bank limit their daily withdrawal limit.” Getting the addicts “to distance themselves from gambling” is the key, he notes. There are relapses, caused by access to money or boredom. “There’s de- creased social activity that used to be enjoyable.” It’s the “competing response”, he says. “The real key in terms of that person committing to change is thinking pat- terns and how to change them.” If someone has a system “we chal- lenge that. Even the very best system is reliant on chance.” Casinos are first and foremost a busi- ness and the outcome of slots is “a chance of luck rather than one person’s level of knowledge of the game,” he adds. “We all believe in luck. It’s human nature to make sense of an environment. We try to break it down to ‘what did I do to contribute to this?’ In the case of problem gambling, it’s common think- ing to take it to the extreme. It’s a very difficult thing to change.” Erroneous cognitive thinking pat- terns “play a bigger role with gam- blers”, he says. “They’re more apt to ra- tionalize their behaviour. Even if they’re pretty significantly in debt, all it will take is a card game or pushing a button to solve the problem.” For a pathological gambler, it be- comes a preoccupation, Mr. Uyenaka says. “They’re not able to exercise a lot of control over their decision-making. At a casino, they’ll spend a lot of money. They won’t project further to the consequences. They’re not thinking ahead to the consequences of their be- haviour.” When someone comes to Pinewood seeking help, an interview is set up to find out the person’s “level of involve- ment in gambling and their motivation. We’re trying to assess the level of the problem,” Mr. Uyenaka states. They try to determine the frequency and amount of money spent, the impact on relationships and health, their work performance. In the past year, from April 1, 2000 to March 31 of this year, the centre has had 151 new clients. “In the last two months, we’ve al- ready seen 32 or 33 new clients. We’re certainly on target to exceed the total of last year,” Mr. Uyenaka notes. “In the last three years, we’ve certainly seen an increased demand for our services. “Increased availability is the primary factor for an increased demand for our services,” he adds. As for Mr. Conway, “I’ve put myself in good shape right now. I’m working hard on my recovery program. I’m con- tinuing to go to counselling. “There’s no urge to go gambling. I’m fighting it off pretty good,” he says, not- ing it’s been three-and-a-half years since he last gambled. A former accountant, Mr. Conway still does some income tax returns for long-term clients. “I don’t do account- ing. I’m in sales now.” And, he cautions, “I wish I never got involved in it.” A/P PAGE A8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 11, 2001 Last decade brought ‘opportunity’ Recovering addicts tell of their struggles to rebuild lives after all-encompassing battles with gambling NEWS ADVERTISER file photo DURHAM —The chance to win at cards, slots and other casino games is too strong for many people.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 11, 2001 PAGE A9 P Answers for those need-to-know questions From ‘white goods’to pulp-egg cartons, here’s recycling tips to follow Calls and e-mails I receive asking questions, passing along comments and local information are the topics of this week’s column. • Large appliances, known as ‘white goods’, should not be picked up by garbage collectors. A special truck is called and arrives shortly after the garbage truck driver reports the locations of those items. If appliances get thrown in a regular garbage vehicle, they would cause the truck maintenance problems. Also, the items would be a hazard to workers in- side the plant if pushed out on the floor. • Take your scrap metal free of charge to the Miller Waste Durham transfer station on Squires Beach Road. Presently, the market value for scrap metal is low, hence few scrap metal scavengers are cruising the streets these days. Scrap metal is collected at curbside, but again this material, especially rod- iron fencing, is a hazard to both the trucks and workers. • Read Susan O’Neill’s full-page stories about recycling the first Friday of each month in the News Advertiser. • You can take old computers to Sears stores that will ship them to Hull, Quebec for distribution in schools. Also, the store’s plastic bags can be re- turned for recycling. This is something all large chains should do. • Pulp-egg cartons are not accepted as paper in blue boxes because of the short paper fibres. However, they can be composted or given to a roadside vendor for reuse. Those sturdy little coffee cup trays can be ripped up and composted too, but better yet, returned to a coffee shop. Employees at OK Tire have a tall neat stack all ready to be taken back. In return, a free drink and doughnut is of- fered. • Can you imagine what your back would feel like after standing for more than a minute sorting out everything in a blue box? To help out the recycling collector, place only glass in one blue box. Any aluminum pie plates can go in too. Put only number ‘1’clean flattened plastics and cans in another. A third blue box or hamper should contain only newspapers and other household paper. Bundle all cardboard and boxboard (cereal boxes, etc.) together. This makes for a less labour intensive col- lection as well as minimizes the truck’s emissions in front of your home. • When recycling paper, do not put out shredded paper in a plastic bag. It is a real problem to collect and process. • Starbucks Coffee — one is located in Ajax — will give customers its cof- fee grounds for their gardens. • Only four garbage bags or less will be picked up each week. Each bag in excess of the limit will be tagged and left at the curb.

Somewhere out there is the perfect equip- ment for you that matches your size, your clubhead speed, your style of golf, all those things that make you different from, say,An- nika and Tiger. Last week we mentioned a few: Start by visiting a golf course pro shop or a retail store that has both a large selection of clubs and ready access to an outdoor dri- ving range. Work with someone whose primary in- terest is finding the right clubs for you. Always trust your own gut; don’t both- er trying anything that doesn’t look good to you or feel comfortable in your hand when you put it down on the ground. This week, take these tips with you when shopping: TO THE RANGE! Select a club you’re comfortable hitting — say, a 7-iron — from the sets that appeal to you. Compare apples to apples: Hit the same club from each set, and make sure the shafts are all the same material — steel or graphite — and the same flex. Take some time to stretch and warm up thoroughly, then hit five shots with each club. Look for the clubs that deliver the best ball flight and feel the easiest to hit. And use the “dartboard rule”: Don’t pick a club just because you hit one or two bull’s-eyes, par- ticularly if you missed the board entirely on your other shots. Instead, pick the club that lets you hit the board most consistently. If you find yourself getting fatigued, take a break; don’t let a few tired swings sour you on a particular club. And hit only for as long as it takes for two or three of the clubs to stand out from the rest. THE FINALISTS ARE ... Once you’ve picked two or three finalists, it’s time to get serious. Ask the pro or clubfitter to watch you hit. They will be able to tell you whether a particular shot shape was a result of the club design or something in your swing. If you’re testing irons, take the entire sets with you. Try to swing at least a couple from each manufacturer. If you’re testing drivers, bring a variety of loft and flex options. Again, hit five shots with each. Remember, “try before you buy” goes for every part of your set. Don’t go through this painstaking selection process with your woods and irons only to pick a sand wedge or putter right off the rack. Put those scoring clubs through their paces, too. WAIT FOR THE “WOW” If you sense yourself being aggressively steered toward a particular set by a clubfitter, watch out:They might be trying to sell you a club with a higher profit margin for them. Eventually, you’ll hit upon the correct combination of specs and clubhead design. When you do, you’ll know instantly:The club will feel well balanced and effortless to swing, and it will look right behind the ball. Impact will feel crisper and even sound more solid. The ball flight will look right. You’ll swing more freely and will be able to repeat good swings. The clouds will part and a rainbow will emerge. Birds will sing! This is the “wow factor.” It’s what makes clubfit- ters get out of bed in the morning. When you experience it, it’s time to buy. ver and over, we ask the question: What’s wrong with Phil? One stroke back entering the last round of the 2001 Masters, Phil Mickelson shoots 70 and loses by three. Two strokes back entering the last round of the 2001 U.S. Open,he shoots 75 and loses by six. Mickelson has a special relation- ship with major championships. Always in con- tention, always loses. In his 9-year professional career, he has smelled more major flowers than a horticulturist at Augusta National. Always smells, never picks. We are sick of asking, he is sick of answering, but we continue to pose the most ridiculous ques- tions. We push,we tug,we try to ma- nipulate him into that dark, insecure place in which his defenses are down. We want him to say: “It’s the worst day of my life. I’m a failure. I’m a choke artist.” Instead he answers patiently. He tries to analyze what he must do, what he must change. He is bravely articulate and forthright. We interview his wife, Amy: “What’s wrong with Phil?”She tries as valiantly as he to provide some insight. We probably would interview his 2-year-old daughter, Amanda, if only she could talk golf. “What’s wrong with Phil?” we would ask. She probably would say something like, “There is nothing wrong with my dad.” She would be right. Nothing is wrong with Phil. He just hasn’t won a major yet. It’s time to leave the guy alone. He and his family have never ducked our inane questions. They have stood there obediently like soldiers and have tried to answer every one. We have heard the rumor that life is more than golf, and here is a golfer who is the personifica- tion of that ideal. So how do we reward him? We stick a label on his forehead: Best Player Never To Win A Major. Mickelson should win several majors. Give him time. On June 16, Mickelson turned 31. For the record, Sam Snead didn’t win his first major until he was 31. Ben Hogan didn’t win his first major until he was 34. Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros and Tiger Woods notwithstanding, the evidence is over- whelming that golfers don’t hit their prime in the majors until their 30s. Greg Norman won his first major at 31. Payne Stewart, Fred Couples and Steve Elkington at 32. Curtis Strange,Paul Azinger and Davis Love III at 33. Mark Brooks at 35. Corey Pavin at 35. Steve Jones and Tom Lehman at 37. This is not a new trend. In 1941, Craig Wood was 39 when he won the Masters and the U.S. Open two months later. Bobby Locke was 31 when he captured the first of four British Open crowns in 1949. Jackie Burke was 33 when he claimed both the Masters and PGA Championship in 1956. There was a nine-year period in the U.S. Open, from 1950 through 1958, in which the youngest champion was 32-year-old Julius Boros. Two of the winners,Ben Hogan in 1953 and Tommy Bolt in 1958, were in their 40s. Retief Goosen, the 2001 U.S. Open winner, fits the pattern. He is 32. Looking at the last 25 winners of the U.S. Open, five were in their 40s, six in their 20s, and 14 in their 30s. Despite the fact that Ernie Els and Tiger Woods each won the U.S. Open at 24, the average age of the last 25 champions was 33.56. So please don’t tell me that Mickelson has squandered his best opportunities. There will be plenty more. Nick Faldo, who has six major championships, didn’t win his first until he was 30. Nick Price, with three majors, didn’t break through until he was 35. Sure, Mickelson has lost often. But he has done it with dignity, and I’m betting he has benefited from this experience in his life and his golf. People mature at different ages. So do golfers. We should not judge Mickelson by the Tiger Woods measuring stick. This is unfair. Let Phil be Phil. Earlier this year, I played a round of golf with his father, Phil Mickelson Sr. On the first hole,a short par 5,he short-sided him- self with his second shot. What kind of shot would he play? I couldn’t wait to find out. The other two members of the group — Frank Paul,president of Golfsmith,and Chuck Yash, then with Callaway Golf — were just as curious. Phil Sr. took this gi- gantic swing. The ball went straight up in the air. It remind- ed me of a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. When the ball came down, it was cov- ered with strat- ospheric glue. It stuck to the putting surface. Tap-in birdie. We were rolling on the turf with laughter. I am guessing that young Phil learned more than wedge shots from his father. I am guess- ing he absorbed the stuff that major champions are made of. JIM ACHENBACH Golfweek WAY AHEAD OF THEMSELVES The Forecaddie knows the Ry- der Cup is a huge event that re- quires significant lead time for which to prepare,and realizes the matches generate lots and lots and lots of money. But even the Forecaddie was surprised to learn that Medinah Country Club mem- bers were considering placing a bid to host the matches in the future — and we’re not talking 2011,which Medinah already has secured. No, in this instance,the Medinah folks were thinking of the 2019 contest,which,the Forecaddie hears,also is a date being target- ed by Southern Hills in Tulsa,Okla.,which recently played host to the U.S. Open. 2019? Geez,by then we might be chron- icling the exploits of young Tiger Woods Jr. THE RYDER CUPSKI Oh,and on the subject of the Ryder Cup, if you think it’s a hot property only in Western Europe and America,think again. Word is interest is spreading East and the matches like- ly will air on television for the first time in the Czech Repub- lic and Russia. Now back up to you in the booth,Vladimir. TAP-INS & LIP-OUTS More than 50 former players turned out recently to honor Dartmouth University coach Dick Johnson, who just retired after 35 years at the Big Green helm. As a gift, his players gave Johnson a book of notes and sayings titled, wittingly, “Coach Johnson’s Little Big Green Book.” No wonder those Dartmouth grads land all the high-paying jobs. ... Technolo- gy has some tough days, and June 28 was one of them for the PGA Tour’s new ShotLink system. ShotLink broke down during the first round of the Greater Hartford Open. Because of that, walking scorekeepers could no longer use hand-held Palm computers to record players’scores. ... If your mind happens to wander during the David Duval/Karrie Webb vs. Tiger Woods/Annika Sorenstam battle on ABC July 30 and you’re wondering how Webb and Sorenstam might fare head-to-head, then know the two will meet in a “Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf” match at Las Vegas’Paiute Resort in early October, with the match shown Oct. 20 on ESPN. ... Apparently, not everybody would have handled a 2-foot miss on the 72nd hole of the U.S. Open as coolly as eventual champion Retief Goosen. “I probably would have died right there on the green,” said Rocco Mediate, “and then buried myself in the bunker.” ROLLING THE DICE The Reno-Tahoe Open, which has yet to have a title sponsor in its first three years, has been offered a different, yet-undetermined date on ESPN next year if it secures a title sponsor and raises its purse to $4 million, the Forecaddie has learned. The PGA Tour event has agreed to do that so it would not be opposite the WGC/NEC Invitational anymore, which will be roughly doubling its field to 80 players. Reno- Tahoe is in serious talks with four sponsor prospects for a five-year deal it wants to take the event through 2006, when the next television contract expires. — Golfweek Yes No LAST WEEK’S QUESTION Do you agree with the U.S.Golf Association’s decision to allow golfers who participate in profes- sional tour qualifying schools to retain their amateur status?

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 11, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 11, 2001 Dedication to defence serves area volleyball player well on court Michelle Corniffe earns scholarship after strong Penn State tourney BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —Outstanding play at a U.S. tournament earlier this year paid off in a scholarship for an Ajax vol- leyball player. While attending the Penn State University event with her Durham Attack Volleyball Club, Michelle Corniffe was scouted by officials from Kent State University. A few days after returning home, she re- ceived a fateful call from one of the scouts, offering a full scholarship to the Kent, Ohio campus. In a twist of fate, the Ajax High School student planned to return to Ajax High in the fall, but the scholar- ship offer all but made up her mind to relocate to the rust belt. “I was planning to go back for my OAC year and then go (to university) after that. But, I graduated this year, so I thought I might as well go.” The 18-year-old visited the Kent State campus three weeks ago and was impressed. “The workout facilities down there are really good. They’re awesome,” says Corniffe who’s been a member of Attack volleyball club for the past four years. According to Chris Williamson, her coach with the Attack juvenile women’s squad, Corniffe has im- proved tremendously in the past year, which helped paved the way for the scholarship. “This year, she developed a tremendous amount. She worked on her defence to make herself a com- plete player and it really paid off for her,” says Williamson. He notes it is Corniffe’s outstand- ing abilities as a power hitter that have made her a standout on the vol- leyball court. “She’s a power hitter and a very explosive jumper, that’s what (the scouts) noticed about her,” he says. Corniffe notes she’ll be part of a volleyball program that made it to the semifinals of the Mid-America Con- ference (MAC) the past two seasons. Team officials are hoping she’ll prove to be the missing ingredient to finally put the Golden Flashes into the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation championship tournament. “They’re hoping to go to the NCAA tournament. That’s where they see me fitting in — to help them get there,” she says. Corniffe notes she’ll continue to hone her skills during the outdoor beach volleyball season this summer. She’ll play in a summer league in Toronto. She explains playing on the sand has helped improve all aspects of her game. “I’m normally a spiker, but beach volleyball has allowed me to focus on other parts of my game,” she says. An outstanding track and field ath- lete, Corniffe says she’ll also run track at Kent State after finishing the volleyball season, which runs from August to December. She earned a fifth-place finish in the senior girls’ triple jump at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Track and Field Champi- onships in Toronto last month. “I asked the coach and there was no problem with doing some track down there,” she says. Corniffe says she’s unsure what she’ll major in at Kent State, other than to say she’ll focus her study in the fitness field.

Competing along with 12 others from the Durham Synchro club, the two young swimmers teamed up to win the provincial cham- pionship in the 11-and- under duet competition. LePage also won the indi- vidual provincial title while Maclean, an Ajax resident, finished fifth. Durham’s team in the 12- to-14-age group also per- formed well, finishing in ninth place among 28 en- tries. Team members are Jordan Anderson, Rebecca Halls, Brianna MacLellan, Samantha Zara, LePage and Maclean. The 15 to 18 team of Erin Cay, Pam Chernis, Michelle Ford, Cathy Hutchinson, Samantha Mitchell, Stacey Nosko, Jessica Saunders and Joce- lyn Tyce finished 21st. The meet capped off a tremendous season for the local club, especially for LePage and Maclean, who also won gold medals at the Ottawa Invitational and Central East Regionals. LePage was undefeated all season in individual com- pulsory figures. The club will begin its recreational and competitive programs in the fall. For registration information, call 905-720-7747.

Singing and playing guitar since her sister gave her a gui- tar at age 19, Maureen Hart- Brennan has always been a ro- mantic at heart, which prompt- ed her to record an eight-track CD ‘Heartbeat’ — a self-pro- duced, independent recording that she plans to market to radio stations and record com- panies. She released the work late last month. Recording a body of her music has been a lifelong dream for the 40-year-old songstress. Attending a mar- keting seminar and establish- ing a list of life’s ‘to-dos’ pushed her to finally put her catalogue of music into recorded form. “I had a visualization when I was nine years old to be a singer. And, I finally fulfilled that dream. Whether I make it as a singer or whether I just make music for people, I know I’m glad I completed it,” says Ms. Hart-Brennan. She wrote 20 songs for the recording process, but pared that number down to eight for the CD. She describes the music as “romantic music and very lyrical” and also Celtic- tinged, owing to her Irish roots. “I have some Irish in my family background, which is a little bit reflected in my music,” she notes, adding she likes to listen to modern pop music for inspiration. If there’s a common thread through the album, it’s written with love and real life in mind, she says. “I really believe life is about love. As I get older, I often reflect on the importance of love,” she says, adding her daughter, Carolyn, was the in- spiration for two of the album’s tracks “I write about real life. I feel that a lot of the music today speaks only to the younger generation, but I feel that life is about all ages. I hope that my music strikes a cord with all generations.” ‘Heartbeat’ was recorded at three different studios over the past several months, including Imagine Sound Studios in Toronto, Anything Goes Pro- ductions in Etobicoke and at a home studio in Toronto. She describes being “a little nervous” when first going into the recording studio, but be- came more relaxed and self- assured as the process wore on. “It’s quite a process you have to go through. You have to work with a lot of people to get it to its finished stage,” says Ms. Hart-Brennan.

The Uxbridge mayor told her Durham council colleagues at Wednes- day’s meeting that she’s concerned with the fact “a landowner that owns thou- sands of acres” of property on the moraine has been appointed to the panel. “I don’t think any developer who owns land on the Oak Ridges Moraine should be on that committee,” she said in reference to the appointment of Mario Cortellucci. “The review is a total waste of time, it’s a farce,” she said. “It’s the percep- tion that’s really bothering me... devel- opers stand to gain or lose millions of dollars depending on the outcome... it’s going to be pretty hard to be unbiased.” Municipal Affairs and Housing Min- ister Chris Hodgson named 14 repre- sentatives, including Durham Chair- man Roger Anderson, to the advisory panel on the moraine during a meeting June 28. The panel also includes other repre- sentatives from the development indus- try as well as environmentalists. Glenn De Baeremaeker, president of Save the Rouge Valley System, has also expressed concerns about the makeup of the advisory panel. “The government made a big, beau- tiful promise when it temporarily froze moraine construction and now it’s back-pedalling by stacking the deck with pro-development hacks,” he said in a recent news release. “The panel that Chris Hodgson is creating to advise him on how to protect the moraine is doomed to fail. I predict they’ll recom- mend more housing, not more protec- tion.” But, Mr. Anderson said Wednesday, it’s his intention to protect the moraine. “I’m going there with every bit of the same intent Durham,York and Peel have in the work we’re doing,” he said in reference to a moraine protection strategy the three regions are collabo- rating on. “Unless Durham’s position is pro- tected, they aren’t going to have a friendly voice at the table,” Mr. Ander- son added. Mr. Cortellucci did not return calls. BY JOE CHIN Staff Writer DURHAM — For many years, Anne Crawford has been a familiar sight at the Superior Court of Justice in Whit- by. Always with a ready smile and un- failingly courteous, she sits at a desk in the lobby, just inside the main doors, di- recting visitors to the various court- rooms. At the end of June —when Sergeant Crawford retired after 34 years — Durham Region lost its very first female officer. Trailblazing wasn’t something Anne Crawford deliberately set out to do. “I had never considered policing as a career,” Sgt. Crawford, now 56, says. “I was working as a clerk typist for the old Oshawa Police when I was approached by Chief John Jenkins and asked if I was interested in joining the force.” Not one to pass up an opportunity, Ms. Crawford soon found herself at the Ontario Police College in Aylmer, the sole female recruit from Durham and one of a handful overall in the province. “I think my class was only the sec- ond or third that included women. All the other female trainees were from Metropolitan Toronto,” she says. Actually, Ms. Crawford considered herself fortunate to be accepted. As she tells it, she barely made the require- ments, which were more stringent then. “You had to be 5-foot-5 minimum, and I made it by only half an inch!” she says before adding with a laugh, “I think I’ve shrunk since then.” Thus began an eventful three decades that included stints in just about every department the force had to offer, start- ing out with the youth bureau and going on to intelligence, major crimes and general patrol. “I guess I came in handy in situations that required the presence of a female officer. My career wasn’t typical. I was given great opportunities, for which I’m grateful. There’s a lot of stories I can tell ...” One of the most frightening, Sgt. Crawford says, was the time she was driving along Mary Street in Oshawa when three young men pulled up beside her cruiser, one of them pointing a hand- gun at her. “A police officer had just been shot in Oshawa a few days before,” she recalls. “And this happens. I thought, ‘Oh boy, Anne, this is it for you!’Purely on reflex I spun the car behind them and some- how managed to stop their vehicle and make an arrest. The staff sergeant on duty at the station couldn’t believe it — his jaw dropped when I brought them in!” Then there were the many days spent undercover busting drug dealers and sit- ting in parks trying to apprehend sex of- fenders. In 1987, she was named Durham’s police officer of the year, and promoted to sergeant two years later. There was never a time, Sgt. Craw- ford says, that she felt discriminated against because of gender. “I always re- ceived wonderful support from the men officers. They accepted me as one of their own. I was like their sister,” she says. Out on the street, though, Sgt. Craw- ford continued to be a novelty for many years. One time, responding to a break- and-enter, she was greeted by a woman who insisted on giving her several large boxes. Finally set straight, the woman was profuse in her apologies, saying she thought Sgt. Crawford was from the Sal- vation Army. “I didn’t know there were lady cops!” she exclaimed. Now, Sgt. Crawford says, there are about 80 female officers in Durham, comprising about 10 per cent of the force. “It’s a good development,” she says. “Having a female and male officer work together comes in useful in many, many situations.” It may not be too dramatic, but Sgt. Crawford says working with youth was the most rewarding part of her career. Over the years, she has visited dozens of schools and spoken to thousands of kids about drugs and safety. She’s also spo- ken to just about every youth club in the Region. “I really enjoy talking with kids. It’s worth it if I can make a difference in the life of just one of them,” says Sgt. Craw- ford. Born a war baby in Glasgow, Scot- land, Sgt. Crawford moved to Oshawa with her parents when she was seven years old. Her engineer dad, who passed away three years ago, found a job at General Motors. A visit to Scotland, where she still has relatives, was on top of her travel itinerary when she put away her badge for the final time on June 29. Beyond travelling, she doesn’t have too many re- tirement plans, she says, except to do a bit more golfing and curling. She’ll miss the job, though she says it was time to move on. “I know I’ll get up that first Monday morning,” Sgt. Crawford says, “and feel very, very strange. For the first time in more than three decades, I will be a civilian again.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 11, 2001 PAGE B5 A/P First female officer was on patrol for 34 years While trailblazing wasn’t her goal, Anne Crawford broke gender barrier on Durham force and served as role model for many women CELIA BRONKHORST/ News Advertiser photo at left DURHAM — For years now, the familiar smile and warm greeting from Anne Crawford were a staple diet for visitors to the Whitby courthouse.

Answer:Today most proficient automotive repair shops utilize a phosphorus based dye that may be added to engine oil, transmission fluid and power steering fluid. The leak may be detected with a special black light that will make the leak detection dye appear to glow at the source of the oil leak, even if a great amount of residual oil is present.

Last fall the Durham District School Board named a new elemen- tary facility Captain Michael Vanden- Bos Public School in honour of the Whitby native and Snowbird pilot who died during a December 1998 training accident in Saskatchewan. Since then the board and the Cana- dian military have discussed the Snowbirds’ participation in the school’s opening ceremonies. Captain Michael VandenBos Public School opened in January, but the official opening is to take place in early Sep- tember. The exact date is still to be de- termined. “I can confirm that the Snowbirds are planning to fly past during the of- ficial opening of the school and take part in the dinner that evening,” Capt. Andy Cook, team co-ordinator, said in an e-mail. “The day’s agenda is still tentative, but we intend to play a major role in this event.” The Snowbirds, the Canadian Forces air demonstration team, have been wowing aviation fans with their precision flying since being formed in 1971, continuing a long tradition of aerial aerobatics in the Canadian air force. They were to take part in the Cana- dian International Air Show in Toron- to Sept. 1 to 3 before travelling to the east coast. The Snowbirds fly the Canadair CT-114 Tutor training jet and perform at about 50 North American air shows each year. The planes can attain speeds of 600 km/h and in many of their formations the jets are only about 1.2 metres apart. The team is temporarily grounded after a June 21 accident over Lake Erie where two of the planes collided.
