Uh, no you can’t take it for a test drive. ® What about us? Pickering traffic study must focus on more than cars, residents say BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING — A traffic study designed to in- crease safety on local streets has to focus on the needs of residents, pedestrians and cyclists and not just motorists and commuters, community members told City staff Wednesday. Pickering is in the process of developing a ‘safer streets traffic management strategy’in an effort to guide the municipality in its future use of stop signs and traf- fic lights, as well as the installa- tion of traffic-calming measures like speed humps and setting speed limits. “Traffic concerns represent the number-one complaint we’re re- ceiving from residents,” Stephen Brake, Pickering’s co-ordinator of traffic and waste management, told a crowd of roughly 50 people gathered in the City’s council chambers to provide input on a draft report. “We want to have a safer sys- tem of roads that will allow peo- ple and goods to move safely,” Mr. Brake said. However, residents said traffic movement isn’t the only factor that needs to be considered. “The whole focus of the report is on moving cars,” Fairport Road resident Gayle Clow told City staff, noting that approach will “keep Pickering as a bedroom community... we need to make it a vibrant community.” Ms. Clow pointed out the City needs to encourage walking by creating pedestrian-friendly streets. “I encourage you to view the streets as something more than a way to move cars,” she said, adding Picker- ing’s approach to her street has turned it into a freeway in recent years. The creation of the safer streets strategy was in fact sparked by concerns over traffic issues on Fairport when a group of approximately 20 residents submitted a peti- tion to council last year calling for the speed limit to re- main at 40km/h.

The only targets met or bettered were the number of unplanned reactor shut- downs, the radiation dose to the public, and the number of preventable spills. May report card results were as fol- lows, for the first five months of 2001, except for measurements that are quar- terly, as indicated: • In an index reflecting 11 industry standard performance measures set by the World Association of Nuclear Oper- ators (for the first quarter of 2001) — 72.2 per cent, worse than OPG’s target of 76.2 per cent, and short of the indus- try benchmark of 96 per cent. It’s a 0.2- point decrease over the fourth quarter of 2000. The most significant factor for missing the target was a 24-day un- planned outage on Unit 7 in January and February. The performance index is measured quarterly; • Public safety levels 1 and 2 events reportable to the Canadian Nuclear Safe- ty Commission — four, worse than the year-to-date target of two. A Level 2 event is defined as significant. The May events were due to the unavailability of a boiler feed pump and “impairments” to an electrical system; • ‘Reactor trips’or the number of un- planned automatic reactor shutdowns per 7,000 hours — 0, better than the OPG target and industry standard of one trip per 7,000 hours; • Capability factor or the amount of energy capable of being produced per month as a percentage of perfect perfor- mance — 75.1 per cent, worse than the OPG goal of 75.8 per cent and below the industry median of 90.6 per cent; • Radiation dose to the public from both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ stations — 0.7 mi- crosieverts (µSv), an international unit of measurement, bettering the first quarter- ly target of 2.5 µSv. The dose is signifi- cantly below the regulatory limit of 1,000 µSv. The radiation dose is mea- sured quarterly; • Major and moderate preventable spills — zero, meeting the goal of zero; • Industrial safety accident rate, the number of accidents per 200,000 work hours that result in lost work time, re- stricted-work injuries or fatalities — 0.37, worse than the OPG target of 0.30 and above the industry median of 0.1; • Accident severity rate or the number of days lost for injuries per 200,000 hours worked — 3.57, worse than the OPG goal of 3.4. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 27, 2001 PAGE 3 A/P PICKERING —The public’s radiation expo- sure from the Pickering Nuclear Generating Sta- tion during the first quar- ter of 2001 was “extreme- ly low”, says the Canadi- an Nuclear Safety Com- mission (CNSC). For the three-month period ending March 31, the dose from the station was 1.1 microsieverts, which is below the regula- tory limit of 1,000 µSv per year. (A microsievert is an international unit used to measure radiation doses.) Measurements are recorded on a quarterly basis. By comparison, a typi- cal chest X-ray produces about 70 µSv, while someone flying to Van- couver from Toronto and then back would be ex- posed to about 20 µSv from cosmic radiation. The radiation dose due to emissions are for a per- son living just outside the boundary of the station, staying at their residences 24 hours a day, drinking local water and eating lo- cally-produced food. The CNSC reports most people would re- ceive a lower dose, be- cause they have different eating habits and live fur- ther away from the sta- tion. The amount of radia- tion significantly decreas- es as the distance from the station increases. More than 90 per cent of the radiation dose comes from air emissions. By comparison, the dose from the Darlington station in Clarington for the same period was 0.6 µSv, and from the Bruce station it was 0.9 µSv.

The speed limit on arterials roads is usually higher. “We’re hoping to come up with some solutions,” he told residents. “We’re trying to deal with all the users of roads.” Other concerns raised by residents included the use of speed humps on local streets. Rougemount Drive resident Simon Hunter said the speed humps installed on his street in 1996 are nothing more than a nuisance for motorists, while Whitevale resident Lloyd Thomas, pres- ident of the Whitevale Residents and Districts Association, said the speed humps in his community have been a “tremendous success” in slowing traf- fic. “There isn’t a one-size-fits-all (an- swer to addressing traffic concerns),” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said following the meeting, noting the residents who live in the community often know what’s best for their street. A second public meeting on the traf- fic study is being held in the council chambers at the Civic Complex at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19. The re- port will then be submitted to council for consideration in October or Novem- ber. CITY from page 1 Event HighlightsThe daytime isn't the only time for a visit to Ontario Place.

NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 27, 2001 PAGE 5 P Basketball player gets nine months in shooting melee BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer OSHAWA —A disputed foul during a game of pickup basket- ball between teams from Picker- ing and Scarborough sparked an explosion of violence that ended with a 22-year-old Ajax man shot four times with a 357-Magnum handgun in the gymnasium at Pine Ridge High School, court has heard. Teran Richards survived three bullets in the back and one in the elbow. On Thursday, a young man charged in connection with the April 3 bloodshed was sentenced to nine months in jail after plead- ing guilty to assault and drug charges. Court was told by pros- ecutor Paul Murray that during the evening basketball game tem- pers flared and Pickering player Al Nabe got into an argument with Scarborough player Tyshon Riley, 18, over a disputed foul. Mr. Riley punched Mr. Nabe in the face and bloodied his nose, prompting Mr. Richards, a Pick- ering teammate, to confront Mr. Riley. While Mr. Richards was try- ing to speak with Mr. Riley, an- other man who had attended the school along with Mr. Riley, but was watching as a spectator, pulled out a handgun and opened fire, the Crown attorney said. The gunman fired one round, hitting Mr. Richards in the arm, then four more, with three of the bullets striking the victim in the back, court was told. A fifth bullet grazed the head of a 15-year-old girl who was watching. Court heard Mr. Riley fled with the alleged gunman and a third man in a Pontiac Sunfire and was later arrested following a car chase and a collision. Mr. Riley has pleaded guilty to assault, in relation to the alter- cation with Mr. Nabe prior to the shooting, possession of crack co- caine, possession of crime pro- ceeds, possession of stolen prop- erty and breach of recognizance. Mr. Riley testified he had nothing to do with the shooting of Mr. Richards and at no time that night handled a 357-Mag- num - the weapon used in the shooting - or a 45-calibre pistol also found near the crash scene. Nor did he witness Mr. Richards being shot or see the triggerman, Mr. Riley answered while under brief cross-examina- tion by Mr. Murray. Court heard Mr. Riley fled on foot from the car after it rear- ended another vehicle and crashed at Taunton and Altona roads. He entered a shed where he was cornered by a farmer’s dogs and held until the police ar- rived. A second Scarborough man, the alleged driver who was arrested in a field, is still before the courts on charges, including attempted murder. Court heard Mr. Riley was in posses- sion of an ‘eight-ball’ of crack cocaine, 3.8 grams or an eighth of an ounce, $1,300 cash proceeds from earlier drug transactions and a cell phone. At the time he was under a court order not to possess any illicit drugs, drug parapher- nalia or cellphone. Judge David Stone, of Ontario Court of Justice, Oshawa, said Mr. Riley’s worst crime was his continued involve- ment “in the drug sub-culture.” Mr. Riley was not directly involved in the shooting of Mr. Richards nor did he provide the weapon,said the judge while addressing the assault charge. “He punches a guy and he has plead- ed guilty... How can you predict from that there is going to be a shooting,” said defence lawyer James Grosberg, who added his client wants to finish school and work as a carpenter. Mr. Riley was credited with serving eight-months pre-sentence custody and ordered to spend one more month in jail. He was also given two-years probation with conditions to stay away from Pine Ridge and not possess drugs. Harbour slotted for makeover? harbour entrance. “We have to have a successful and viable marina entrance,” Coun. Hol- land said Monday, noting the entrance, which is owned by the PHC, is cur- rently difficult for boaters to navigate because of high levels of sedimenta- tion. “Unless it’s dredged on a very con- sistent basis, it’s almost impassable for boats.” Coun. Holland said the entrance into Frenchman’s Bay needs to be widened and reconfigured in a way that will reduce the sedimentation. That’s a project that could cost rough- ly $2 million, he noted. However, Coun. Holland reported public funding can’t be secured for the project unless the entranceway is trans- ferred into public ownership. “We can’t get public funds for a pri- vate entrance,” he reported. “This meeting will hopefully be a first step towards advancing that agenda... in seeing the land come into public own- ership.” PHC president Harold Hough said Monday if transferring the ownership of the entranceway into public hands is a requirement to get the improvements started, “we’re willing to comply. “We would like to see the perma- nent fix for the channel entrance. I think it is the key to a vibrant water- front.” Mr. Hough added, “There’s no point in creating a marina village (along Liverpool Road) if mariners are precluded from coming in here be- cause that channel is inadequate... we want to be able to advertise that we have the safest channel in the Great Lakes.” Meanwhile, David Steele, who chaired a mayor’s waterfront task force that recommended the improvements, said the entrance into the Bay has been poor for years, noting there are signs posted informing boaters the entrance- way can be dangerous. “I think it’s a good move. I think it’s something that needs to happen,” he said.

Everyone can do their part for women’s shelter To the editor: Last year Gillian Hadley’s life was taken at the hands of her estranged husband and we were horrified.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 27, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Education Minister Janet Ecker, who has been hitting poli- cy home runs these last few months — consider her plan to end the extracurricular activities standoff — had another reason to be proud this week. The Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP, who was community and social services minister prior to taking on her current port- folio, was on hand Thursday as her successor, John Baird, saluted the success of Ontario Works Durham. Ms. Ecker was the minister who ushered in the controversial ‘workfare program’ and who had to take the heat when oppo- nents attacked it as being unfair to welfare recipients. But half-a-decade later, Ontario Works Durham can boast of having placed 1,524 employable welfare recipients in volun- teer positions. The idea is to help those on welfare get off the government rolls and into full-time jobs by providing skills and training in exchange for a welfare cheque. Ontario Works Durham, which looks after the program across the region, had a goal of 1,272 placements so it actual- ly had a success rate of 120 per cent. That excellent record meant an additional boost of $562,000 for local programs. Mr. Baird handed over the cheque to Brock Regional Councillor Larry O’Connor who is chairman of the Region’s health and social services committee. Mr. Baird, who offered financial incentives to regions and counties that met or surpassed placement targets, was clearly thrilled by Durham’s success. “You really have made a huge difference in people’s lives in Durham,” he said. Ms. Ecker echoed the comments of her cabinet colleague. “They’ve (staff) done a fantastic job. As the minister when the Ontario Works program was created, I was really pleased to be here. The new money will help staff do a better job.” The numbers show workfare was indeed the right idea at the right time. The Tories, who have successfully fought institu- tionalized and long-term welfare by cutting rates, boosting the economy and by helping recipients find jobs, are to be com- mended for starting the program and making it work. Al- though, some proposals, including drug and literacy testing, go too far in singling out the most disadvantaged in society who rely on a meagre welfare cheque for the necessities of life. But, on balance, many hundreds of thousands of recipients no longer live on welfare in Ontario and the fine work of Mr. Baird and Ms. Ecker along with staffers across the province is responsible for that. As targets continue to be set higher, let’s hope we can come to a day when the number of welfare cases is a tiny fraction of the percentage it was in 1995.

I had forgotten the pot was on the stove. “Didn’t you smell it?” my hus- band asked while he was at the sink. He seemed a bit steamed, scrubbing the blackened bottom of the big saucepan. “This pot is ruined. The bottom is bumpy.” My face felt hot. “Don’t worry, it has burned many times. The worst was Elizabeth’s 16th birthday, 25 years ago,” I said. I was a teller at the bank two blocks from home. Two of the chil- dren went to the local school. On this sunny February day I planned a nice dinner. At noon, I went home to start the pot roast. The electric burner was turned on high and the meat seared on all sides in the pot on the stovetop. I added carrots and potatoes and turned down the heat. As I rushed back up the hill, I wondered if I had turned the heat down. But I had to be back at my wicket. At 3:35 my son stopped by on his way from school, then he skipped home. Within seconds, his red face was above the wicket. “The house,” (puff) “is on fire.” I locked my teller drawer and ran. I pushed in the door. Grey, greasy smoke. The orange and white cat was flat on the floor gasp- ing for breath. With my sleeve over my nose, I went to the kitchen. Smoke and sparks came from the stove where the pot’s juices dripped onto the burner. I turned off the burner, grabbed potholders, picked it up and rushed out the door. The pot hissed as I put it down in the driveway. The kids from the front half of the duplex tiptoed up the driveway. They stared at the pot then bent over and gingerly picked up the lid. “Eeuuow”. They dropped the lid. Five seconds later they were back to show the blackened cinder to some other children. “Eeuuow,” in cho- rus. That birthday evening was spent at the Laundromat. The cat sur- vived. The children and I worked to clean up the mess. This scrubbing of the same pot with the bumpy bottom brought it back to mind. Pay attention to cook- ing. It’s a difficult task that requires concentration. Some pots are worth their weight, if only as a spectacle. Fortunately, daughter forgave me.

Darren Dzikowski was also or- dered to repay victim Colin Waters $14,352 for medical bills he incurred as a result of the injuries he suffered when he was struck in the face with the golf club on April 21, 2000. The retired Appleview Road resi- dent needed extensive dental repairs and surgery to have the tip of his nose reattached, prosecutor Ken Polley said. Judge Donald Halikowski, of On- tario Court of Justice, Oshawa, said the vicious attack was rooted in a sim- mering feud between the two neigh- bours. “It was a culmination of a long se- ries of petty incidents... A neighbour- hood dispute that escalated to vio- lence,” Judge Halikowski said. On the day of the assault, Mr. Dzikowski, who lives with his parents, had been practising hitting golf balls in his backyard, irritating his neigh- bour who then started to make “rude and provocative sounds”, the judge said. Mr. Dzikowski went to confront the victim in his backyard and when Mr. Waters ignored him, he swung the club at the man’s head, court was told. Mr. Dzikowski, who pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, apologized to Mr. Waters in court, saying his out- burst of anger was “absolutely inex- cusable. “My behaviour was completely in- comprehensible. I’m ashamed and embarrassed. Words are not available to express my sincere remorse.” An angry Mr. Waters told Judge Halikowski in an impact statement, “My face has been permanently dis- figured and I have to live with this for the rest of my life.” The judge said Mr. Dzikowski has no history of violent behaviour and the assault was “out of character”, not- ing the young man immediately called an ambulance for the victim. He has also taken anger management coun- selling. Despite the mitigating factors, the judge rejected Mr. Dzikowski’s lawyer’s bid for a conditional sen- tence, saying any acts involving “ex- treme violence” between neighbours must be strongly denounced by the courts. He also placed Mr. Dzikowski on two-years’ probation, ordered him to provide police with a DNA sample for the national registry and banned him from possessing any firearms, ammu- nition or explosives for the next 10 years.

But attending the recent Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada annual conference opened his eyes. The 56-year-old Ajax resident wasn’t there long because of work commitments. However, it was a meaningful stop since he received one of the five national, Nissan Big Brother and Big Sister Senior Citi- zenship Awards handed out by the organization. With his first Little Brother, Shane, now 20, Mr. White figured he was likely getting too old to take on another young friend. “What does a little guy 10 or 11 or 12 have in common with my- self?” he remembered thinking be- fore going to the Toronto confer- ence. “One of the things I learned as a result of this award is there are se- niors across the country my age making a contribution.” Mr. White said he will likely be matched with another little brother, but that doesn’t mean his relation- ship with his match of roughly 10 years will end. In fact it was Mr. White’s devotion to Shane that prompted Monique Mara, case- worker at the Big Brothers Associa- tion of Ajax-Pickering, to nominate him for the national award. While young men leave the agency when they reach 17 years of age, Ms. Mara said Mr. White has kept in close contact with Shane, who was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago. “Neville’s looked after him; he’s been his support,” said Ms. Mara. “(His little brother) calls him his fa- ther. He’s an exceptional individual in all that he’s done.” She said this is the first time a Big Brother with the agency, in Ajax-Pickering for roughly 28 years, has received a national award. An Ajax resident for 19 years, Mr. White described how his little brother has changed since they first met. “He’s turned into a very mature individual,” he said. “I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow... from a little boy to a young man, and a young man who’s facing some challenges far beyond his years. I am always constantly amazed at how he deals with it so well. That’s where I feel quite proud.” Shane is proud of Mr. White, too. And grateful. It was his Big Brother who rushed him to the hos- pital when he got sick, and who was there for him when he received the diagnosis. “He’s a really good guy, for one,” said Shane, when asked what makes Mr. White a great Big Broth- er. “All kinds of things. He’s fun to be around, he helps me out; he real- ly cares.” The youngest natural gas fitter in the province, he said he owes it to Mr. White. When they first hooked up, he said the pair would go to movies, play pool and throw a base- ball around. As he got older, his Big Brother, whom he dubbed Mr. Fix- it, shared his handy-man skills with Shane, involving him in various projects. When he began training as a gas technician, Shane said he already had a head start. “That’s what got me into a trade,” he said. Mr. White said what he didn’t realize when he joined the organi- zation is that he would gain as much from the experience as he gave, learning more about life and himself. Big Brothers are asked to com- mit to spending at least three or four hours a week with their Little Brother, but Mr. White said the two spent more time together than that. “It just happened,” he said. “I never anticipated getting involved to the extent I am.” For more information on the Big Brothers Association of Ajax-Pick- ering and volunteering, call the or- ganization at 905-686-2871. Neville White’s involvement with the Big Brother’s organization has resulted in his being awarded national honours. He received one of five special awards for his dedication to the program.

John Keating’s 11,000-kilometre trip raises $1 million BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM —One-mil- lion dollars, 11,000 kilo- metres and plenty of aware- ness later, John Keating has left a huge impact on autism research. The Durham Regional Police sergeant’s 11,000- km trip began April 27 in New York City and ended July 19 at 8 a.m. in San Diego, the site of the 2001 National Conference for the Autism Society. Although he missed the funding target of $10 mil- lion, he ended up raising $1 million and a whole lot of awareness. “We knew that goal was kind of stretched,” he said. “The important part was raising awareness and we raised a lot of it.” The Autism Society an- nounced they are making Cycle USA an annual event, such as the Terry Fox Run where people can raise money and awareness in cities on one weekend of the year through a 10 to 20 km bike ride. He said before he began Cycle USA, statistics re- vealed seven out of 10 peo- ple didn’t even know what autism is, but now many more people do and can be more inspired to help find a cure and possibly even help his seven-year-old son, Kurtis. Kurtis has autism, a de- velopmental disability that impedes social and com- munication skills. After having various charities knock on his door, it suddenly occurred to Sgt. Keating that nobody ever collected money for autism. Although he did a lot of interesting things while on his trip, what he will re- member the most are two boys who donated. One boy had a lemonade sale and raised over $20 to give to autism research be- cause his sister has it, and another boy whose sister also has autism, donated a bag full of pennies and change. “Riding the bike was challenging, but comparing it to living with autism, it’s not difficult at all,” he said about the 84-day trek. Since he has stopped rid- ing, he said his body feels sluggish because it has be- come accustomed to the workout. He also noted it was tough being away from home. “Three months is a long time... the hardest part was being away from my fami- ly,” he said. Once he called home and his wife told him how their six-year-old daughter said she couldn’t remember what his face looked like. Sgt. Keating is catching up with his family now on a vacation in the U.S. He noted he is looking forward to getting home and back to his job in Au- gust. Autism appears in the first three years of a child’s life and is thought to be the result of a neurological dis- order that effects brain function. There is no single cause and no cure.

But when you pull into your driveway and look at no landscaping, very little plant material or large, overgrown evergreens crowding into each other, the relief of being home may only bring on questions: What can be done to this front yard? What plants would pro- vide a welcoming entrance? How do we spruce up this yard? Should we be talking to a professional landscape design- er? What does a landscape designer do? Hiring a landscape design- er to draw a professional plan is certainly an option as is creating your own landscape design. What will a professional landscape designer do? Typically the designer will meet you at your residence and ask questions to find out your spe- cific requirements as far as how much time are you willing to commit or devote to mainte- nance; what is your gardening experience; what are the sun and soil conditions; are there plants you definitely must have in your design or are there colours you like more than oth- ers. Other questions may con- cern your budget - is the land- scaping achievable in one year or due to hard landscaping such as interlock pathways or retain- ing walls will it take more than one season to complete. The landscape designer will use all of this pertinent information as well as the mea- surements of your property to do a design. The design will include the laying out of all appropriate plants such as trees, evergreens, shrubs (both flow- ering and non-flowering), roses, and perennials. Recommendations will also be made to do with ponds, arbours, trellises and benches. A professional landscape design will also create a wel- coming environment when you arrive or depart. It increases the pride of ownership and increas- es the overall property value of not only your home but the neighbourhood as well. When your landscape design is planted and complete additional end benefits would be the therapeutic nature of put- tering in your new garden, enjoying the fresh air and sun- shine and socializing with the neighbours. There will be no more dashing into the house to simply avoid looking at a front yard that is lacking in plants. Overgrown front yards can be renovated or rejuvenated by removing any tall, mature evergreens and replacing them with smaller, neater plants. A landscape consultant can be hired for this endeavour and will work closely with the homeowner to achieve their desired garden. As well as assisting in the selection of plant material, the consultant may co-ordinate a landscape crew to do the necessary work or give you an action plan to do the work yourself. Certainly the same proce- dures and principles apply to backyards. Other questions to do with a backyard design may include: are you interested in plant material that will attract butterflies, hummingbirds, or birds; will you have the time to devote to a perennial garden; is there plans in the future to add a swimming pool, hot tub or gazebo.

Singer/songwriter Kamil De- whurst released his debut CD, ‘Kamz’, four weeks ago after recording the eight tracks on the disc over the past two-and-a-half years at a Scarborough studio. “It was a part-time thing while I was in school, but I did it full-time this summer,” said De- whurst, 19. “It’s nice to finally get it done.” ‘Kamz’ was recorded and written in part- nership with Scarborough producer Norm Sabourin, who also played gui- tar on the pro- ject. Several backup vocalists were also re- cruited. Dewhurst de- scribes the music as “pop with hip hop and dance with an R and B flavour”.He noted the eighth track was a bonus track titled ‘Fire’ that featured the vocals of his sister, Janelle, who also wrote the song. Experimentation with sound and vocals was the hall- mark of the project, noted Dewhurst. “We had a back- ground track, a techno sequence, and I freestyled with the vo- cals to create a song that had really fast rapping. It hits you over the head, it’s off the wall, something you’ve never heard before,” he said. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 27, 2001 PAGE 15 P Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 27, 2001 Wahlberg goes Apes this weekend in Tim Burton flick Following are the new movies being screened this weekend at cinemas in Ajax and Pickering. PLANET OF THE APES Starring Mark Wahlberg, Kris Kristofferson, Estella Warren, Linda Harrison, Helena Bonham Carter. Directed by Tim Burton. Pilot Leo Davidson (Wahlberg) crash lands on a strange planet, finding himself in a brutal, primal place where apes are in charge and humans are hunted and enslaved by the tyrannical primates. The sudden appearance of one man, alien to the present order and unaffect- ed by its oppression, serves as a chal- lenge to the status quo and a catalyst for revolutionary social change.

Tim Roth plays a malevolent chimpanzee and Mark Wahlberg is the action hero in the Tim Burton remake of the sci-fi adventure Planet of the Apes.

L1V 1B5 (905) 831-2665 DRIVE THRU P L A Y LPA A C E I am enjoying a Blueberry Shake as we speak. What does a real blueberry shake topped with whipped cream taste like and why whipped cream? When I first started suggesting shakes topped with whipped cream to our staff one of them said she thought whipped cream on top of a shake wouldn’t sell. This prompted me to make a video for the staff to demonstrate my point. First I want to say that we DO NOT USE A MILK SHAKE MIX at our store. Yes the others want something fast, pre-made and they just open a spigot and viola a shake! Sorry not us. We make every shake from scratch. Yes it takes more time and I make no apologies for that. If my customers wanted it fast and pre- made then why are they lined up out the door of our store time and time again? In the video I began by filling a DQ cup with ice cold milk to the fill line on the cup. This guarantees every shake is made the same. All our cups have fill lines on them. Next I spiraled our patented world famous DQ soft serve into the cup. I then go over to our refrigerated bank of fruit containers (pineapple, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) and ladle in a large helping of our blueberries. I watch those blueberries swirl down over that smooth creamy soft serve. Then I turn the speed on our blizzard machine to slow and watch as it slowly weaves the fresh milk, blueberries and soft serve into a smooth rich purple blend that makes my mouth start to water. Then I top it with whipped cream. Now I demonstrate how you sip a shake topped with whipped cream. This got oohs and ahhs. I take my straw and push it slowly down through the whipped cream trapping at least a portion of it in the straw. Now I continue to push it down into the blueberry shake and I take a big sip. The blueberry shake is drawn up the straw forcing a rush of whipped cream and blueberry shake into my mouth. I close my eyes and savour it. Then I sip all the residue out of the straw, push it slowly down into the whipped cream forcing more up into the straw and start the whole process over again! . .

DANCE PATIO BAR The Puck & Beaver, a Canadian Pub is located at 172 Hunt Street in Ajax. The location in the past has previously been the Monkey Bar, Cloud Nine, the Treehouse, the New Treehouse and the MidKnight Dine and Dance Club. The name “The Puck & Beaver” has an interesting origin. Since there were so many Irish, English and Scottish Pubs, we wanted to have a Canadian Pub. Canadians are known to do things in big extravagant ways, love music, as well as having a very good sense of humour. The bar, being licensed for more than 200 people, is larger than the traditional pub but that’s the Canadian way. The name was born one day at a resort on Buckhorn Lake where friends were gathered and suggested possible names for a Canadian Pub. As soon as “The Puck & Beaver” was suggested, when everybody stopped laughing they agreed it was the best! The name is Canadian humourous and memorable. Definitely the Canadian way. Many changes have been made for the Puck & Beaver, with many more to come. The colour and decor are being brightened up; the new menu’s will be out shortly; and many different forms of entertainment are being planned. The food has always been good, and now it’s even better with new and interesting menu choices. There are always daily munchie, lunch and dinner specials. Private parties and groups from 20 to 200 or more are always welcome. Food can be ordered from the menu, or we have special buffet menus available. Groups and organizations are welcome to hold fundraising event at the Puck & Beaver. The DJ and/or Karaoke are provided free of charge for the group events. Sports teams may want to take advantage of our unique and innovative sponsorship program. Local businesses may also want to take advantage of our unique cross promotion program, where all businesses get promoted while people have fun! The Puck & Beaver has become a fun place for people to come have fun while singing and listening to music. All entertainment is geared toward the “Baby Boomer” crowd. It is one of the few places in Ajax that you can hear live three to nine piece band. Karaoke is a regular event of interactive entertainment that allows people to become part of the entertainment. DJ music is always available for your listening and dancing pleasure. Traditional Pub games such as darts, pool, trivia euchre, backgammon, crib and dominos are available as well. The Puck & Beaver is always having some form of contest or events going on as well. Things like Survivor Karaoke; Sing the Street Song; pool and dart tournaments are regular events. Be sure to check them out. We really hope you drop by. We know if you do, you’ll definitely have a great time and come back. We will apologize now for the renovations and such going on but we are trying to make the Puck & Beaver a more enjoyable place for you. While the painting and decorating are going on though, it is business as usual with all our daily specials and fun still taking place. 19 HARWOOD AVE.(North of 401) 905-683-5358 • CHRYSLER • DODGE • DODGE TRUCKS “THINKING LIKE A CUSTOMER” 5.9L, auto, p.w., p.dl., tilt, cruise, air cond., sliding door w/vent glass, ABS, trailer tow, tilt, cruise, prem. decor, alum. wheels, p.s., rear heat/air, AM/FM cass./CD, O.W.L. radials, 8 pass. & more.

What can you tell us about the Windjammer Landing Resort, or any others there? A:Many of the well-known, all-inclusive re- sorts in St. Lucia (like Windjammer Landing, Le Sport, Rendezvous, and the two Sandals resorts located there) offer wedding packages. At Windjammer there is a bonus of a room up- grade if you start the marriage process here with Alba Tours. This resort property is located in the exceedingly romantic hillsides of St. Lucia, over- looking Labrelotte Bay. It features 232 open-con- cept guest rooms, which are appointed with sunny print fabrics, rattan furniture, warm clay tiles and ceiling fans. Windjammer facilities include four restaurants (an all-inclusive plan is optional), four swimming pools, two lighted tennis courts, nightly entertain- ment, 18-hole golf course nearby, and a secluded beach with a water sport centre. It is easy for Canadians to get married in St. Lucia. Inquiries can be made at the St. Lucia Tourist Board at 1-800-869-0377. Q:I’ve heard just recently that one of the cruise lines has a no-smoking ship. Do you have more information on which one it is and where it sails? A:Yes, it’s the MS Paradise, the 70,000-tonne, 2,040-passenger Carnival Cruise Line vessel and the world’s first cruise ship to have a completely smoke-free environment. This super-liner, one of a series by Carnival known for lavish entertainment, spacious cabins, super-size fitness centre and nightlife galore, sails from Miami into the Caribbean on seven-day itin- eraries, year-round. Go to www.carnival.com for port-of-call de- tails and more. Enthusiasts of this century’s great ocean liner era will notice the plush interiors of Paradise are a tribute to the celebrated Nor- mandie, the Queen Mary, and the SS United States. — News Canada P PAGE 18 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 27, 2001 Here are some of this sea- son’s most frequently asked questions: Exclusive bed and break- fasts in London Q:Do you have information on bed and breakfast private home accommodations in Lon- don, preferably in the Knights- bridge area?

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, July 27, 2001 PAGE 19 A/P DURHAM —It’s beauti- ful, but dangerous. Purple loosestrife isn’t a na- tive species to North America, but the plant has been spread- ing rapidly, clogging wetlands, marshes, river banks and low- lying farm fields. And, as it moves in, fewer native plants and animals sur- vive. Without natural enemies, purple loosestrife can displace hundreds of fish and wildlife species from their native habi- tat. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) is again organizing Project Purple Week from Aug. 1 to 7. During the week, community groups and individuals can help take back areas with pur- ple loosestrife by uprooting the plants or cutting off the flower tops before they can spread their seeds. Each plant can pro- duce up to three million seeds. Biological controls have proven to be effective against large stands of the plant, but manual efforts, such as digging and clipping, are still impor- tant methods of curbing the spread. One biological method was the release a small leaf-eating beetle that feeds almost exclu- sively on purple loosestrife. For more information on Project Purple Week activities, call the OFAH invading species hotline at 1-800-563- 7711. A/P PAGE 20 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, July 27, 2001 A.J.

Help fight loosestrife invasion Recycle!Watch out for osprey, help Frenchman’s Bay PICKERING —The Frenchman’s Bay Watershed Rehabilitation Project (FBWRP) is looking for local residents to keep their eyes peeled for osprey in Pickering. The organization is hosting a volun- teer environmental watch (VEW) work- shop from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday,Aug. 2 to introduce its new osprey watch pro- gram. The meeting is also an opportuni- ty for volunteers to learn more about on- going water testing and butterfly moni- toring programs. “If you missed the invitation or were unable to attend the last VEW work- shop, the FBWRP invites you to attend the second VEW workshop,” states a news release. “This workshop will reac- quaint you with our water watch and butterfly watch and introduce you to the new osprey watch program.” Volunteers will help the FBWRP col- lect information to determine the current health of the watershed. The results of the monitoring programs will be used to determine future restoration efforts. The meeting takes place at the bot- tom of Wharf Street, just east off Liver- pool Road South. The event takes place rain or shine, so participants are remind- ed to dress appropriately and to wear shoes that can get wet and dirty.

Ackroyd dominates provincial meet AJAX —Ajax and Pickering equestrians avoided all the obsta- cles to post strong results at a re- gional qualifier last Sunday. Seventy riders competed in 21 classes at the Ontario Power Gen- eration Central Ontario Region Third Zone Qualifier at the Aud- ley Road Stables in Ajax. Mallory Jones of the Ajax Pony Club rode her horse Natasha to the grand champi- onship of the entry level ‘C’class at the qualifier. Katelyn Powell of the Pickering Pony Club placed sixth in class 1 with her horse She’s All That. Ajax Pony Club’s Sarah Bor- toluss earned reserve champion status in the starter division aboard Rainbow Connection. Jennifer Graham of the Pickering Pony Club placed ninth in class 1 with her horse, Sullivan. The event was the third of four qualifying events for the Central Ontario show jumping team, which will compete against teams from the western Ontario and the St. Lawrence-Ottawa Valley re- gions at the Central Canadian Zone Championships in the Ot- tawa area Aug. 18 and 19. Pickering swimmer the best in Ontario in two events, wins four other medals PICKERING —City swimmers had a profound ef- fect on a Scarborough club’s fortunes at the recent Swim On- tario Provincial Championships in Toronto. Five Pickering swimmers helped the Scarborough Swim Club to fifth-place overall in Ontario at the high-calibre meet, which attracted 586 swimmers from 76 clubs to Eto- bicoke’s Olympium Pool. Colin Ackroyd, 14, dominat- ed the podium in each of his in- dividual events, winning gold in both the 100 metres and the 200m backstroke events. Ack- royd also established junior na- tional-best times in both. He was out-touched at the wall to earn silver in the 200m freestyle and the 400m individual med- ley events. He stepped to the podium again to claim bronze medals in the 400m free and the 200m IM. He was also part of the club’s relay teams that fin- ished fifth and sixth in its two events. Meanwhile, Warren Barnes, 16, won individual gold and sil- ver in the 100m and 200m breast events, respectively.
