Pickering’s planning committee unanimously approved the Notion Road land use and urban design study Monday night, which calls for the Pickering side of Notion Road, from Hwy. 401 to Kingston Road, to be upgraded from an Johnson faces Regional review Durham to probe tree-cutting, Uxbridge begins legal proceedings BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham will conduct a “review” of actions taken by Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson to determine if he broke any Regional bylaws when he bulldozed property on Uxbridge-Pickering Town Line. Environmentalists and area residents have criticized Coun. Johnson for removing trees and clearing land to create useable roads on the land, leading to the councillor’s landlocked property. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri-Lynn O’Connor called on the Region to conduct a full investigation while other councillors suggested it was a “witch hunt” and inappro- priate. “What has happened on this road allowance, unless you’ve seen it, you could not believe it,” Mayor O’Connor said in calling on Regional council Wednesday to investigate concerns from the Uxbridge Conservation Associa- tion and Oak Ridges Trail Asso- ciation and to determine the le- gality of Coun. Johnson’s ac- tions. “Trees have been sold for large sums of money for veneer and drainage has been totally af- fected,” continued the mayor, who said even after stop-work or- ders were issued, the councillor cleared a second road. The mayor accused the councillor of disre- garding “a process he knows very well” as the chairman of the Cen- tral Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. The Township of Uxbridge has begun legal pro- ceedings against Coun. Johnson, the mayor announced. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish added it was important for the Region to investigate because “anything that calls into question the integrity of anyone in this room calls into question the in- tegrity of everyone in this room”. Coun. Johnson, who declared a pecuniary interest on the matter and was not in attendance for the debate, later declined comment. Council voted to review the correspondence from the two as- sociations and to review “all rele- vant factors” and whether any Regional bylaws have been bro- ken, including the tree-cutting bylaw and the Municipal Act. Although an overwhelming majority of councillors supported the motion, a few did not. RICK JOHNSON Durham to look at ‘all relevant factors’.

This year, the Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic, held at Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club, raised more than $143,000 for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, according to organizers. This brings the total raised through the tournament during its six-year history to nearly $700,000. The money has been used to purchase vital medical equipment for the hos- pital. “We’re absolutely thrilled with the success of this year’s tournament,” said Bill Collier, chairman of the 2001 event. “The money raised will help our hospital deliver excellent care close to home for the rapidly ex- panding population of west Durham.” This year, proceeds will help pur- chase important cardiac diagnostic imaging and testing equipment such as electrocardiograms. This equipment aids in early de- tection and treatment, and potentially reduces the severity of heart condi- tions and heart disease — Durham’s number-1 killer. “The continued success of the tournament would not have been possible without the gen- erous support of our many sponsors and dedicated volun- teers,” said Mr. Collier. The Pickering Town Centre Mayors’ Charity Classic is hosted annually by Region of Durham Chairman Roger An- derson, Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish.

The only area of jurisdic- tion the Region has here is tree-cut- ting and that’s enforced by the local level. I don’t think it’s wise to partic- ipate in what is almost a witch hunt.” A report is to come back to coun- cil through the planning committee on Oct. 10. We’re online at durhamregion.com REVIEW from page 1 Review a ‘witch hunt’: Gray urban study area to a mixed employment designation. Under the mixed employ- ment designation, permitted uses for the land would include offices, restaurants, convenience stores, light manufacturing plants, places of worship, and banks among several other small office and warehousing businesses. Currently, a large residential devel- opment is housed just to the west of the Pickering side of Notion Road study area. In July, Ajax council approved the study, which recommends the Ajax side of the road be turned into a ‘prestige’ employment area. Rezoning the Ajax side from general employment to pres- tige employment will permit a number of additional uses while limiting the heavy industrial uses to those that al- ready exist. The study was commis- sioned as the result of public out- cry in 1997 against the proposed building of a waste transfer facil- ity on Notion. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles said he was pleased the issue has finally been dealt with. “It’s been four years in the making,” he said. “Our principal interest was to oppose (the waste management facility) and this re- zoning will restrict that type of use. It has been a nasty fight, but it has been addressed. This type of use will not be permitted.” If council approves the study next Monday, a public meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 18.

All those West Nile virus-carrying mosquitoes poised to unleash death among the citizenry of Durham. Slightly terrifying! ‘Stay indoors after dark!’We’re told. ‘Douse yourselves in in- sect repellent.’They warn. ‘Be ever watch- ful for dead birds.’ They advise. The long and short of it all is that people are truly terrified. You can see it in their faces when they walk into a drug store and purchase a can of ‘Deep Woods’. They handle dead birds with such care that has not been seen since the time of the black plague. And why not? Let’s look at what the authorities have said about this deadly virus. It has so far killed nine people in the U.S. True. Now, these people were elderly and had weak- ened immune systems. They would proba- bly have died of the next flu that made the rounds. No, I am not making light of their deaths. But, if you are stung by an infect- ed mosquito, you might, repeat might, show signs of a mild flu, however most people will never know they have been in- fected. Now, is this really something we should be taking so seriously? I personal- ly don’t plan to stay huddled indoors in a corner of my closet doused in insect repel- lent and praying for arctic weather to come so the dastardly little carriers of death will finally meet their end — at least, until next spring.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 16, 2001 9 a.m. First word of the attack on one of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers in New York City. Gave it little thought, figured there was a navigational error. Gave more thought to what would be on dinner menu for tonight. 9:15 a.m. Second WTC tower is struck. Rush to get updates on the Internet; identify dawning horror that two are connected. Vague sense of fear of what it could mean takes root and grows. Quickly. 9:45 a.m. Fear gives way to terror when news filters in about hijacked plane smashing into Pentagon. When will this end? Is it the end? Furiously flip between Internet sites to find out more. Know all are dead in planes, but worry about peo- ple trapped in buildings as captured in still images posted on the Internet. Join in anxious chatter with col- leagues about what it all means. No answers. 10 a.m. Listen in horror as news breaks about first WTC tower col- lapsing, taking all with it. Not sure why, but can’t stop thinking about my children. Talk to wife, who is shattered by the events, but can’t pinpoint tangible reason to be so upset. As we talk on the phone, col- league relays news about second tower collapsing. Unbelievable! Too much bad news to bear. Acknowl- edge conscious hope that no one I know is anywhere near New York City. 10:30 a.m. Thread of panic inside as we learn about fourth jet crashing to ground in Pennsylvania. Again I wonder: Is this the end? 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pick up snip- pets of news where I can, but must work hard to focus on job. Impact of events felt around the world, and right here in Durham. Nuclear plant goes on alert, Emergency Measures Office on standby, municipal airport closed. Wonder if my kids are aware and all right; and must fight urge to go and see for myself. 2 to 6 p.m. Tie up loose ends on News Advertiser coverage gathered and assembled in a surreal atmos- phere. Rush home to wife and kids. Tighter hugs, more meaningful kiss- es. Relieved that oldest boy solely interested in practising skateboard skills; little one wants to play with toy cars. 6 to 8 p.m. Watch as much cover- age as possible while distracting self with domestic duties: cleaning up dinner dishes, preparing baths, going over school work. It feels good. 8:15 to 8:30 Send boys off to bed on a day that, to them, seems like every other. Know that is not the case. 8:30 to midnight. Glued to tele- vision set trying in vain to absorb it all. Cannot. Think of my children. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com From shock to worry to incomprehension Trying to absorb the horrible magnitude of terror and destruction just not possible Friday was a day of tears, of reflection, of prayer. In our communities and on national and international stages, our elected leaders stood tall and tried their best to put Tuesday’s horror into some kind of perspective. They sought to reassure those of us in the West who are trying to come to grips with all that has hap- pened in this terrible week. In Washington, President George W. Bush gave the kind of speech he should have delivered Tuesday evening. In a brilliant ad- dress, made from the pulpit of the National Cathedral with five for- mer presidents in attendance (all but the infirm Ronald Reagan), Mr. Bush said, “To the children and parents and spouses and fami- lies and friends of the lost, we offer the deepest sympathy of the na- tion. And I assure you, you are not alone.” In a firm, decisive voice, and with steely resolve, Mr. Bush in- toned, “America is a nation full of good fortune, with so much to be grateful for, but we are not spared from suffering. In every genera- tion, the world has produced enemies of human freedom. They have attacked America because we are freedom’s home and defender, and the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.” No doubt President Bush looked to his own former president father, who fought as a pilot in the Second World War. Mr. Bush’s wise words echoed around the planet. Here in Cana- da, Parliament Hill was filled with 100,000 people who came to mourn our American neighbours. Prime Minister Jean Chretien spoke for us all when he said, “By their outpouring of concern,sympathy and help,the feelings and ac- tions of Canadians have been clear. And, even as we grieve our own losses, the message they send to the American people is equally clear. Do not despair. You are not alone. We are with you. The whole world is with you.” Paul Celucci, American ambassador to Canada. saluted the “overwhelming support and sympathy” from Canadians and told us, “you truly are our closest friend.” The ceremonies in both coun- tries were intensely moving and beautifully summed up the feelings of millions who also stood for three minutes of silence shortly after noon, lost in their own thoughts. Here in Durham, a number of churches quickly organized well- attended ceremonies to pay tribute to our fallen friends. Charity dri- ves were put in motion to offer help. Those who work as firefight- ers, police officers and emergency workers especially felt the pain of seeing men and women just like them, consumed by the World Trade Center, lost in a sea of rubble and dust.

The death last week of a local senior is like- ly the final nail in the coffin of a two-year, con- troversy-plagued cold case investigation that had police confident they were close to crack- ing the “heinous, decades-old crime.” But instead of providing answers to the half-century old mystery, the investigation has raised troubling questions about the conduct of Durham Regional Police personnel and the force’s handling of the unsolved case. Such as why it took more than a decade to investigate new evidence police received 36 years after the murders? And, when it was fol- lowed up 13 years later was a “procedural mis- take” and internal “witch hunt” responsible for derailing the extraordinary investigation? The story has all the elements of a best-sell- ing crime novel: The elderly couple killed in a cowardly at- tack in their home 52 years ago; a possible sus- pect who lived freely in Durham ever since until his death a week ago; a further suspect or suspects who may still be at large; and two homicide detectives who claim their attempts to unravel the murder mystery have left them fighting to save their police careers. In a defamation lawsuit filed against the po- lice services board, Chief Kevin McAlpine, Deputy Chief Chuck Mercier and retired Deputy Chief Jim Adams, the two homicide detectives are suing the force claiming, among other things, they were close to breaking one of this region’s oldest unsolved crimes when they were stripped of their duties and the in- vestigation shut down. Police Chief McAlpine wouldn’t comment on specific allegations in the lawsuit but said, “We will be filing a full and complete state- ment of defence.” Deputy Chief Mercier declined comment, saying it would be “inappropriate” for him to talk about the civil suit. Repeated attempts to reach retired Deputy Chief Adams were unsuccessful. The lawsuit filed in Superior Court of Jus- tice in Whitby does not specifically identify the case, but the News Advertiser has con- firmed the controversy surrounds the 1949 murders of Nicholas Katerynych, 81, and his wife Helen, 76. The cold case investigation, launched in 1999 and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, was abruptly halted in May 2000 after an alleged “procedural mistake,” according to a statement of claim containing explosive alle- gations. Police, meanwhile tell the News Advertiser the investigation, which has since been re- opened, remains “active” and detectives are still looking at other suspects. The lawsuit, filed by former homicide de- tectives Tom Whiteway and Greg Heasman, both now sergeants, accuses Chief McAlpine and Deputy Chief Mercier of “abuse of power,” breach of fiduciary duty and negligent investigation under the Police Services Act. The lawsuit alleges they were victims of a “malicious”attack by police brass that stood in the way of a potential conclusion to the 52- year-old double-murder and raises questions about the administrative competence of the force dating back more than a decade. The Crime Autopsies revealed the cowardly and hor- rific nature of the murders. A neighbour found the Katerynychs’ bat- tered bodies Nov. 29, 1949 in their bungalow at 256 Park Ave., now McNaughton Avenue, the pair bludgeoned and stabbed to death in a home invasion. Robbery was the apparent motive; the killer or killers had “methodically ransacked” the frail victims’ neatly-kept home in a search for hidden savings. Mr. and Mrs. Katerynych both suffered massive trauma, their injuries consistent with a frenzied attack. The husband waged a fierce struggle to protect his wife and himself, ac- cording to published news reports of the day. A reporter given a tour of the blood-soaked five-room home described a scene of “brutal callousness... seldom equalled in the annals of crime.” Mr. Katerynych was found face down in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. He had been struck repeatedly over the head, his skull crushed with a blunt object, possibly a club or hammer. The body of Mrs. Katerynych, who ap- peared to be preparing for bed at the time of the attack, was sprawled in the bathroom door- way. She also suffered blows to the head, but bled to death from a stab wound to the neck. Neighbours Michael Shody and Lloyd Obrenski, the latter who lived in a small shack on the ‘nice’ couple’s property, made the hor- rifying discovery after growing concerned about the seniors. Mrs. Katerynych had been fighting pneumonia and hadn’t been well and neither had been seen for a few days. A report in the Nov. 30, 1949 ‘Oshawa Daily Times-Gazette’said police had conclud- ed the crime was committed on the Saturday three days earlier. Neighbours, who reported hearing nothing untoward from the house, had apparently warned the couple prior to their deaths they were being watched. A suspicious car had been spotted driving up and down their street. News reports said the Ukrainian couple had lived quietly in Oshawa for three years and be- longed to the St. John’s Ukrainian Greek Or- thodox Church. A widowed Saskatchewan farmer, Mr. Katerynych had remarried and sold his three farms for $15,000 prior to moving east to Os- hawa to be near his daughter from a first mar- riage, Polly Tkatch, of Bowmanville. Gossip in the Ukrainian community held that the couple kept their life savings hidden in the home. No money was ever found by po- lice. The first double-murder in the city’s histo- ry sparked the launch of a massive manhunt by Oshawa Police (which later amalgamated in 1974 with other municipal departments to cre- ate the Durham Regional Police Service). Po- lice mobilized all resources and Chief Owen Friend vowed officers would work “around the clock” to catch the killers. They joined forces with the OPP’s criminal investigations branch and the Toronto Police fingerprint department and posted a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. “It is going to be a tough case to crack,” the chief was quoted as saying. The Letter The decades passed and Nicholas and Helen Katerynych were reduced to a dusty file in a police drawer representing a sad, unfin- ished chapter in the city’s history books, the mystery surrounding their murders the subject of lore. Until one day two years ago. The new evidence that led to the reopening of the murders turned out to be more than a decade old. It was in the form of a lengthy handwritten letter discovered in a police folder in late 1999 by detectives Whiteway and Heas- man, who were tasked with reviewing out- standing cases, including the Katerynych mur- ders. Though police will not comment on details of the investigation, the News Advertiser from legal documents and various informed sources has learned this much: • The detailed letter, received “many years earlier,” had been “transcribed by someone else in the DRPS,” the civil lawsuit says. The 45-page letter was received by police in Janu- ary 1986, the News Advertiser has also learned. • “The author of the letter was ‘X’, who outlined certain events that occurred years be- fore the letter itself was written,”says the state- ment. • “X claimed to know who was responsible for a heinous unsolved crime.” • X also had an unsavoury background, a long criminal record spanning 30 years for various violent offences. At the time of the let- ter he was an inmate in a special handling unit for high-risk offenders in Ste. Anne des Plaines, Quebec. It’s unclear how,if at all,police acted on the information back in 1986 or in the years since. But 13 years later,in 1999,a cold case team of investigators led by detectives Whiteway and Heasman was created to follow up on the lead. X was tracked in late 1999 to Port Cartier Institute in Quebec, where sources said he was serving time for holding several guards hostage for 30 hours during a botched 1985 at- tempted escape from Kingston Penitentiary. Now a decade after he sent the letter, X was in his declining years, but was still willing to co-operate. “He was nearing a parole hearing,” the statement says. X was interviewed several times by the de- tectives between Dec. 13, 1999 and April 11, 2000 and in a sworn statement claimed to know the identities of the Katerynych killers. X claimed he stood “look-out” for the killers in front of the house. Now in his 60s, he was just 11 at the time of the murders. X told investigators two Oshawa men took part in the savage 1949 slayings: one of whom later died in a Hwy. 12 car crash in 1954. The second suspect X identified was still alive and had lived in the Durham Region area undetected since the murders,police were told. According to the officers’ statement of claim, “Heasman and Whiteway were on their way to solving a decades-old crime, and bring- ing to justice a suspect who had lived freely in the Durham Region all that time. “Success would have further enhanced the reputations and standing of Heasman and Whiteway while, at the same time, potentially casting doubt on the administrative compe- tence of the senior management of the DRPS, who presided over a system that took many years to follow up on a written lead.” The Trip By spring of 2000, the investigation had taken on some urgency. Police were worried the suspect, now in his mid-70s, would learn of the investigation and leave the jurisdiction. In April 2000 police enlisted X as an “agent,” meaning he was now working under the direction of investigators to help gather ev- idence. For X, it meant a brief taste of the outside world. Detectives Whiteway and Heasman collect- ed the prisoner at the federal institution in Quebec and on April 5, 2000 returned him to Ontario, recounts the lawsuit. They stayed at a motel just east of Durham Region. During the long journey by car “X regaled Heasman and Whiteway with a colourful story about his life,” the lawsuit says. “He boasted about his varied criminal ac- tivities. Among other things, X told Heasman and Whiteway he had committed a violent crime decades before... but had mounted a suc- cessful insanity defence. He had been sent to a mental health facility, released a few years later and deported to Canada,” said the claim. As veteran investigators with a combined 48 years with the force, the officers were scep- tical. “Criminals like X did not always accu- rately depict events. They decided that this The front page of the Nov. 29, 1949 ‘Oshawa Daily Times-Gazette’paints a grisly picture of the murders of Nicholas Katerynych, 81, and his wife Helen, 76. A half- century after the murders, Durham police reopened the case and were apparently nearing the end of their investigation when one of their suspects died last week of cancer. A jailhouse informant, a lost letter, and dead suspects Case closed on 50-year-old murder? See DURHAM page 9 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 16, 2001 PAGE 9 A/P Durham officers launch civil suit new information was raw and need- ed to be... verified,” the statement of claim explains. During an interim stop between Quebec and Ontario two other offi- cers on the investigative team, De- tective Kevin Morash and Detective Constable Ron Crouch, were tasked with guarding X as detectives Heas- man and Whiteway caught some rest. The statement of claim says the pair encouraged Det. Morash and Const. Crouch, both of whom had limited experience in homicide in- vestigations, to engage X in casual conversation to gain understanding of the “criminal mind.” X told the two officers a similar story to the one he told detectives Whiteway and Heasman, the claim says. Over the next week, detectives Heasman and Whiteway worked with X attempting to gather evi- dence against the murder suspect, the lawsuit says. The Trip Home While X was being escorted back to prison,a storm of controversy was brewing back at police headquarters. According to the lawsuit, during the drive, detectives Heasman and Whiteway received a phone call from the head of the homicide unit and the investigation’s case manag- er, Detective Sergeant Shane Was- mund, who raised new questions that surfaced about X’s past. Det. Sgt. Wasmund questioned Det. Whiteway about X’s criminal background, specifically a crime X confessed to committing outside Canada. “Wasmund indicated that he was concerned about this infor- mation,” the lawsuit alleges. “Extraordinary arrangements” were made for Det. Heasman to im- mediately return to headquarters. The News Advertiser has learned X shot and killed a Chicago shop- keeper in 1969. He served time at the Cook County Jail and at a men- tal hospital. But since X used an alias at the time, the Chicago shooting hadn’t turned up when police ran a March 7, 2000 criminal record check searching for offences outside of Canada. When Det. Heasman re- turned, the investigation was shut down, the claim says. Now, the offi- cers themselves were under investi- gation for allegedly withholding in- formation about X’s background, an alleged transgression some felt could pose a potential problem for a future prosecution, according to sources. Police consulted with Durham Crown Attorney John Scott on whether detectives Heasman and Whiteway should be charged with obstruction of justice. Mr. Scott and a second Crown at- torney from outside the region con- cluded the officers did not commit any criminal offence, the suit says. On April 25, 2000 Inspector Jim Lockwood, now superintendent of crime management, told the pair they were being punished in the “worst” possible way: they were im- mediately transferred from the homicide unit, the lawsuit says. In what the statement calls a hu- miliating “dressing down” in front of colleagues, they were stripped of their cases and their notebooks seized. The Lawsuit The officers were reassigned to uniform patrol on separate platoons. Four months later, on Oct. 11, 2000 officers Whiteway and Heas- man were charged under the Police Services Act with neglect of duty and discreditable conduct. On Dec. 1, those same charges were stayed and the officers agreed to take a one-day instructional course. Named as defendants in the recently-filed lawsuit are the Durham Regional Police Services Board, Chief McAlpine and Deputy Chief Mercier and retired Deputy Chief Adams. Officer Whiteway, now head of the traffic management unit, and Of- ficer Heasman, an Oshawa patrol sergeant, are claiming a combined $1 million - $500,000 each - in gen- eral damages for defamation, negli- gence, abuse of power, intentional infliction of mental distress and breach of fiduciary duty. They are also seeking $100,000 each in punitive damages as well as unspecified special damages “to be proven at trial.” Both were among the force’s “most experienced homicide investi- gators” with unblemished records and reputations of integrity, the law- suit says. They claim they suffered mental anguish, irreparable damage to their careers, lost opportunity for advancement and are the subject of “rumour-mongering and ridicule.” The statement of claim alleges the duo were victims of a “concert- ed, continuing attack” by police brass and includes the following un- proven allegations: • At a May 17, 2000 police ser- vices board meeting Chief McAlpine told board members de- tectives Whiteway and Heasman “had lied to the DRPS, had forced it to shut down a major investigation, and had requested their own trans- fers... These statements were false, and were made maliciously or with reckless disregard for the truth,” say officers Heasman and Whiteway. • In a June 14, 2000 meeting, Deputy Chief Mercier “attempted to intimidate” detectives Whiteway and Heasman. “Mercier made numerous threats, indicating that unless they pleaded guilty the DRPS would ruin their ca- reers,” the lawsuit alleges. Deputy Chief Mercier allegedly told the officers he was working under direct orders from Chief McAlpine to “make this matter go away.” • The PSA charges were filed “without any belief they were war- ranted for the purpose of enabling the DRPS, Chief McAlpine and Mercier to ‘save face’... “The tactics by the DRPS were consistent with its entire approach to the attack on Heasman and White- way, which constituted a witch-hunt from the start...” As It Stands Earlier this year, after the dust settled, a new investigative team was tasked to carry on from where detec- tives Whiteway and Heasman left off. Last week, the suspect earlier implicated by X died in hospital from cancer. Inspector Paul Carroll, head of Durham’s major crime unit, confirmed the elderly man who died had been a focus of the probe, but said the investigation still remains “active.” He said detectives are looking at other living suspects who surfaced during the course of the investiga- tion. “At this moment, it is still ongo- ing. That person (who died) would have been a subject of the investiga- tion (but) there are other parties whose names were mentioned, and for that reason the investigation is continuing,” he said. Cop biter jailed BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A 31-year-old man who bit two police officers, claimed he infected them with AIDS and said they would die, has been jailed nine months. Madame Justice Myrna Lack, of Superior Court of Jus- tice, Whitby, also made an order that Philip Andrew Collins, of no fixed address, submit a sam- ple of his blood for his DNA to be kept on file with the national data bank. Mr. Collins had pleaded guilty in June to assaulting a po- lice officer, mischief over $5,000 and three counts of as- sault causing bodily harm. Court heard Durham Region- al Police Constable Jeff Haskins was arresting Mr. Collins for possessing marijuana at a Park Road tavern on Oct. 23, 1999 when a drunken Mr. Collins went “berserk” and tried to es- cape. During a violent struggle that ensued, Const. Haskins attempt- ed to handcuff Mr. Collins at which time the defendant sank his teeth into the officer’s thigh, ripping his pants and breaking skin, Justice Lack said. Const. Haskins’s partner, Constable Lorelle Serdar, was trying to assist in subduing Mr. Collins and also was bitten in the forearm, the judge said. Civilian Mike McCaustlin was bitten by Mr. Collins while trying to help the officers, who were under siege from other pa- trons in the bar, court heard. After he was finally subdued, Mr. Collins, described as being out of control, began shouting obscenities at the officers, claiming he had infected them with AIDS: “I’ve got HIV... You’re all going to die,” he screamed. Court was told that following his arrest, Mr. Collins voluntari- ly provided a blood sample to police that tested negative for the HIV virus. Mr. Collins also kicked a third police officer dur- ing the skirmish and kicked out the window of a police cruiser after his arrest. During the sentencing hear- ing Wednesday, prosecutor Paul Murray said the assaults against officers Serdar and Haskins were “exceptionally vicious”. Photographs of the injuries filed previously in court depict- ed a “bleeding human bite mark “on Const. Serdar’s left forearm and a bloody bite wound on Const. Haskin’s right leg. Mr. Collins threats of AIDS “certainly caused a lot of con- cern” for the officers, although both also later tested negative for HIV, Mr. Murray said. The judge, who said any as- sault on a police officer must be strongly denounced, concluded Mr. Collins continues to pose a “great risk of reoffending” and also placed him on two-years probation in addition to jail time. Durham school trustees play around with playground policy BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Public school board trustees rejected staff’s rec- ommendation that a playground equipment inspection and mainte- nance procedure be approved last Monday night. Trustees were concerned the procedure had not gone out for con- sultation to every school council, including all 31 facilities with play- ground equipment on their proper- ty. Gary Gibson, the Durham Dis- trict School Board’s health and safety manager, told trustees there is no board document that deals with the issue. But, he noted the Canadian Standards Association has set out inspection and safety re- quirements. “The CSA standard is not law, however the Ontario School Boards’ Insurance Exchange (the board’s insurer) strongly recom- mends compliance with this stan- dard to reduce injuries on play- ground equipment,” he said. “It is my hope to roll out this new proce- dure as soon as I can into the school year.” The board does not provide play equipment to schools, but once pur- chased by a school community council and installed on school property, the board is liable for the equipment and must ensure it is maintained and inspected. The equipment, however, remains the SCC’s property and the council must pay for any repairs. Scugog Trustee Martin Dem- mers said he’s heard from several school communities that they don’t mind paying for repairs, but not re- ceiving two, separate inspection re- ports from both the health depart- ment and a consultant working for the equipment manufacturer. “I’ve heard that complaint and it’s a valid complaint in a number of schools,” replied Mr. Gibson. The procedure proposes the board co-ordinate and pay for one annual inspection of all play equip- ment, though Mr. Gibson noted the health department wants to stay in- volved by checking roughly five, randomly-selected playgrounds per year. In addition, the procedure would require a daily visual inspec- tion and a monthly structural in- spection by someone chosen by the school principal. Trustee Demmers motioned the procedure go out for consultation. “It’s true that not every school that has a playground has been con- sulted,” said business superinten- dent Ron Trbovich, recommending this take place and a report brought back to trustees. Trustees agreed with Whitby Trustee and board chairman Eliza- beth Roy’s suggested amendment that all schools be consulted. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford feared the board is “getting in deep- er and deeper” in terms of the cost of having playground equipment. “It’s my understanding that our policy is to not have or encourage recreational equipment on school property,” said Trustee Crawford. But, Mr. Trbovich said there is no such policy. Purchasing equip- ment is a local decision made by in- dividual schools, he said. “The policy has been that we do not get funding for it so we should not fund it,” said Mr. Trbovich. “The board, in the end, is spending money to ensure the equipment is up to standards.” He said it would probably be around Christmas before the report comes to trustees.

For many people, knowing a second language is indispensable. Given the increasingly global context in which we live, many of us must interact with others who speak another language. For example, with the South American market opening up, Spanish is rapidly becoming a necessary lang- uage for many North Americans. After all, being able to communicate in more than one language makes it easier to find work and be considered for promotions. And what time could be better to sign up for a language course than during the back to school season? If you live near a university campus, find out what courses are offered. Chances are you’ll find lots of choices, ranging from beginners to advance. Community colleges also offer language courses and you can always sign up for group courses at a local language school. Sometimes it is even possible to sign up for private lessons. Knowing another language not only helps at work, but it offers an opportunity to discover a totally different culture. Wouldn’t you agree that while traveling it’s much more pleasant to be able to communicate with the local people and truly immerse yourself in their culture? Whether its out of necessity or simply for pleasure, learning a new language is a great way to discover an entirely new part of the world and the cultural riches it contains. Learn a new language and expand your horizons FALL REGISTRATION DURHAM —A car rally de- signed to highlight Durham Re- gion’s natural resources is sched- uled for today (Sunday) as an added feature of this year’s Durham Country- side Adventure.

It is a chance for renewal, because, no matter how much a stu- dent has struggled in the past, this is a new opportunity. This is the year it will finally come together! As a parent, you know this will hap- pen. You feel it in your heart. And, sometimes it does. Sometimes, students acquire those organizational skills, set higher standards for themselves, and stay motivated throughout the entire school year. Often though, that motivation begins to erode before October and those organizational skills and standards begin to slide. Why is this? What happens? Where does the motivation go? Let’s look to a true story for a clue. Two Grade 5 classmates, Bobby and Steve, moved to a new school. Both were diligent students who got A’s in math. But soon after the school year began, it was obvious that these young men were behind in math - the standards at the new school were higher. Bobby got angry and felt it was unfair that he had never been taught some of the skills he needed. Instead of quitting, he was motivated to try harder because of this injus- tice. He soon mastered the skills, caught up to his classmates and was once again achieving his customary top grades. Steve also thought it was unfair. However, he worried that he would not do well, that his classmates would think he was dumb and that his parents would be disap- pointed. His fear and lack of confidence robbed him of his motivation and he stopped trying. As a result, this former ‘A’ student stayed behind the class and math became a problem for him. Two kids, both smart, both good math students, both apparently motivat- ed to do well in math - what happened? The only difference between these two young men was that one of them did not understand that he could act to reach his goals despite his feelings of fear, while the other sim- ply ignored those feelings and forged ahead. Indeed, we may even “feel” that our boss is a substandard human who deserves a horrible fate, but we tend to not share those feelings out loud or in private meetings with the boss. Why? Because we have learned that we do not have to act on each and every emo- tion that arises. To the degree that we practice that understanding, we are successful in our lives. Our feelings involve our whole body. When we “feel” something, we often “feel” that we have to act on it. If it “feels” so strong, it must be true. Wrong! Feelings are there just to guide us in a direction opposite to our goals. We must learn to hear our feelings, to respect them, but to act on our goals. That is the secret of success in school and life. When kids learn to distinguish the difference between feelings and goals, they can act to achieve their goals. Students who have not learned to recognize the difference, always act on their feelings. This explains why a student who truly wants to do better in school, who wants higher marks and who starts in September deter- mined to do all these things, suddenly seems to run out of gas and lose all that motivation. It can happen because of a careless or inadver- tently negative remark made by a teacher (“Anyone who cares about the future would have studied and understood this unit!”) or a jeering taunt made by a fellow student (“You’re so dumb....”) or just an incorrect assumption made by the student (“I’m dumb. Everybody else in this whole class understands this math and I can’t get it at all.”) That is how it begins. After the initial damage is done, our brains seem to work against us. It looks to verify the judgment sug- gested by feelings and we tend to over-react and make wild assumptions about our inade- quacies. The feelings that follow are usually negative - “Why bother to study, I’ll never get it anyway!”, “School sucks. I can hardly wait until I get out.”, “Who needs school anyway?” and so on. This becomes a repetitive, subcon- scious conversation we have with ourselves, which serves to reinforce our feelings of fail- ure. Motivation disappears. But...it does not have to. Students who learn how to distinguish the difference between thoughts and feelings and who learn how to set goals and how to construct plans of action will be able to act despite their negative and draining feelings. Oxford Learning Centres have been helping students for years build their skills and confidence, learn how to set goals, and gain control of school.

If you take a moment and shift your atten- tion away from whatever you’re thinking about and pay attention to how your mind is actually behaving, you’ll probably notice several things. Typically, your mind is very noisy. There is a lot of chatter and babble in your mind. You’ll also notice that your mind leaps around a lot. It is very rarely paying continuous atten- tion to the present. Instead, it is leaping ahead to the future or into the past, or drifting off into fantasy, or racing into some worrisome possibility. In the medita- tion tradition, this is called monkey mind because of the way your mind leaps about and chatters like a monkey. Other times you may notice that your mind gets locked into a certain pattern which it just keeps repeat- ing over and over again like some machine with a mind of its own. You lay awake at night knowing that the thoughts running through your head are not help- ing, yet there seems no way to stop your mind from its one track preoccupation. Or, you find yourself sinking into a depressed mood or trapped in a spiral of anxiety without any way of breaking free. This machine mind can drain you of energy and sap your ability to deal with problems. Telling yourself to stop such patterns is largely ineffective. Your monkey mind keeps you distracted and unfocused from the task at hand while your machine mind locks you into inappropriate and unhealthy patterns of behaviour. You can’t really see what to do, and so you simply suffer through it while promising yourself that one day you’re going to do something about the problem. Meditation is specifically designed to deal with the problems of monkey mind and machine mind. It helps to develop concentration and mindfulness. Mindfulness is the ability to keep the mind in the pre- sent moment. It is the only way to real- ly deal with monkey mind. Meditation also helps to develop the insight and creativity that liberate you from the mechanical patterns of behaviour that come from your machine mind. By doing both of these things, it frees up a lot of energy that is normally tied up in all these unhelpful habits of mind. It strengthens your abilities to deal with stressful situa- tions and teaches you how to calm the mind and relax the body. This increase in energy combined with the ability to reduce both the causes and effects of stress means that regular meditation has significant health benefits. Meditation teaches you how to take a good look at your mind so that you can free it from monkey mind and machine mind. This will help to free you from unnecessary mental suffer- ing while also liberating your insight, creativity, and energy to deal with the demands of life. It’s time to consider taking a meditation course.

SHAPE UP NOW!! “Providing a Natural Way to Better Health and Wellness” TM Systems International Weight Management and Nutritional Centres TM Support Your Feet, They Support You ASK THE PODIATRIST: Approximately three months ago I ran up a flight of stairs bare- footed to answer the phone. I was about halfway up when I lost my footing, slipped and my big toe hit the riser (the vertical portion) of the step. The pain wasn’t that bad at the time so I really didn’t think anything of it. I am now, however, finding that I cannot move my injured big toe, up and down, as much as my other big toe. With everyday activities it only hurts a little but when I wear a 2 inch heel or when exercise the pain is much worse. What have I done and can I treat or reverse it? It sounds as if your injury is a condition known as hallux limitus, which is a limited range of motion of the big toe where it attaches to the metatarsal bone. The amount of pain associated with this deformity can range from no pain to such severe pain that it is disabling. The normal range of motion of the big toe is approximately 70 degrees because this is the amount of angulation needed to propel the foot as it toes-off to take the next step. With less than 70 degrees a structural (as yours is) or a func- tional (tight tendons on weight- bearing) hallux limitus exists. The amount of space between the two bones that make up the big toe joint narrows causing a “jamming” of the big toe. This causes pain on top of the joint due to inflammation created by excessive bone against bone compression forces. It is aggravated with the toe-off stage of each and every step. The analo- gous situation might be with a door having difficulty opening as it abutts against the door jam. Pain and inflammation increases with exertion as you tend to have greater forces against the joint. The same can be said about wearing higher heeled shoes as you put more weight and pressure on the front part of the foot. Aside from the type of injury you have described, excessive pronation can lead to hallux limi- tus, as can an exceptionally long metatarsal bone. Both of these fac- tors put greater amounts of force on the first metatarsal-phalangeal joint (the big toe joint). As far as treatment goes, noth- ing can be done to reverse the dam- age you have done to the joint. The best treatment involves a gait adjusting foot orthotic that will try to balance the forefoot and decrease pressure on the joint by minimiz- ing pronation. An extension should be used on the orthotic with a cut for the big toe joint, thereby allowing it to “float”. This will decrease the ground forces on the joint. The orthotic should also be stiff. Untreated, the patient may experience pain in the middle of the foot, the ankle and even in the leg, as the other parts of the extrem- ity try to make up for less than 70 degrees of angulation. The best les- son to be learned here is that it is so very important to always wear something on your foot at all times. One missed step that could have been easily prevented by wearing shoes or slippers can leave you with a chronic nagging injury.

Dylan Lord 3. Jessica Stasiuk DURHAM — Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football teams made it a clean sweep over Os- hawa and Markham in recent action. This past Sunday, the Dolphins’tykes, atoms and peewees were victorious over the Oshawa Hawkeyes in Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) action at the Oshawa Civic Stadium. Last Monday, Sept. 3, the teams recorded victories over the Markham Raiders. The Dolphins’tykes recorded their third con- secutive victory by eking out a 6-0 win over Os- hawa. After losing to the Dolphins 18-0 in the pre-season, the Hawkeyes shut down the Dol- phins’ offence, allowing no offensive points. Cornerback Pat Charron, on a 62-yard runback after an interception, scored the game’s only touchdown. Defensive end Peter Dearness and Charron were the defensive stars. The Dolphins’ atoms kept their undefeated season intact with a 39-0 whitewashing of the Hawkeyes. Ajax-Pickering scored on the open- ing drive and never looking back. Defensively, the ‘teal’ curtain dominated the Hawkeyes’ of- fence with strong tackling, forcing numerous fumbles. Defensive back Jordan Moseley chipped in with a third-quarter interception. David Priestman and Shane Pinnock each with two, and Cecil Cherrie with one scored the Dolphins’ touchdown. Place kicker Jordan McLauglin contributed eight points. Justice Mounsey drove a 70-yard kickoff for a single point. The Dolphins’peewees prevailed 22-14 over Oshawa. No scoring information was available. Last week, the Dolphins’ tykes and atoms defeated the Markham Raiders, with the tykes winning 19-0 and the atoms earning a 32-6 vic- tory. Against Markham, the tykes’offence was led by running back Myles Daly who scored all the game’s points on three touchdowns and a one- point conversion in the win. The offensive line allowed quarterback Adam Konkle the time needed to run the offence. And, for their solid work, line- men Jesse Kelly, Kyle Debel- lotte, Matt Blum, Greg Sheremeta,Tyler Colton, Brent Peters, Malcolm McColl and Giancarlo Amenta were named offensive stars. Linebacker Alan Forsythe and safety Andre Shand were defensive stars. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms dominated previously undefeated Markham. Quarter- back Priestman scored three touchdowns, while running back Cherrie also ran for a major. Placekicker Jordan McLaughlin had six points. The defence added a safety to round out the scoring. Rotimi Olusoga led an ever-improving of- fensive line in opening huge holes for his team- mates. Cornerback Keith Hunter and the rest of the defence dominated their opponents. The de- fence recovered two fumbles and also had an in- terception. P PAGE 20 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, September 16, 2001 Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 16, 2001 Pickering teen’s got game Kemar Munroe MVP among all-stars at U.S. hoops camp BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A Pickering teen was the top star at the Five Star Basketball Camp in the U.S. last month. Kemar Munroe, 17, in his OAC year at Dunbarton High School, took part in the camp in Homesdale, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh, in late August. There, the talented hoopster brought home a basketful of ac- colades and some college schol- arship offers, not to mention the experience gained from playing against top-quality U.S. compe- tition. “It really helped me with my game,” noted Munroe, one of only eight Canadians among the 450 players at the camp. “I learned how to play their style of basketball and it helped me get ready for the next level.” Munroe was named the most outstanding player of the camp’s NCAA division and the all-star game’s most valuable player. He also helped his team post an un- defeated 11-0 mark and was a key contributor in his team’s playoff championship victory. Following the camp, he has spoken to two U.S. colleges about possible scholarships, in- cluding Davidson in North Car- olina and Western Carolina Uni- versity. He noted earning a U.S. college scholarship and perhaps playing professionally are his ul- timate goals. “My goal is to get down there and play for an American univer- sity and after university I would like to play in Europe or maybe even the NBA,” he said. Learning the nuances of the American game at the camp, said Munroe, will definitely help him make the transition to the U.S. game when he reaches college. He described the basketball played at the camp as more ag- gressive, a style he had to adapt to quickly. “At first, I was a little bit timid, but after the first game I thought they couldn’t play with me, so I played as hard as I could,” he said. “Up here, there are more foul calls, but down there they just let you play. There’s a lot more physical play.” Earlier this year, Munroe helped his Ontario Basketball Association club team — the Scarborough Blues — capture the OBA title for the juvenile age group. The Scarborough squad defeated Hamilton at the cham- pionships this past May. It was Munroe’s third and final season with the Blues. This fall, Munroe will play his final season with the Dunbar- ton Spartans senior boys’basket- ball team after leading the club to the Durham title in 2000. He expects the Spartans will also be a powerhouse this season. “We’ve got a couple of new faces who should make the team a lot stronger,” explained Munroe, who played as a guard and a small forward with the Spartans last season. “We have the same championship core that was there last season.” A.J.

The Panthers are in Scarborough to play the Wexford Raiders in OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference action tonight (Sunday) at 7 p.m. The Wexford game is the Panthers’ third in five days and comes less than 48 hours after Pickering played against the Waxers in Markham Friday night. The result of the Markham game was- n’t available at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. After Sunday’s game, the Panthers are in Vaughan for a Monday night encounter with the Vipers at 7:15 p.m. All these games within a short period of time, explained Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell, won’t be conducive to a good start for his young charges who started league play Wednesday after being on ice the night before in Oshawa for a pre-season tilt with the Legionaires. “We can’t practice, so we can’t go over anything,” said Purcell. “It’s difficult right now with the hectic schedule we’ve got.” And, the schedule doesn’t get any eas- ier. Next Friday, the Panthers host the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The next morning, at 9:15 a.m., Pickering plays the Streetsville Derbys during the College Weekend slate of games at Mis- sissauga’s Iceland Arena. The weekend ends with a game in Ajax against the Ax- emen Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. It’s all play, play, play for Panthers Email it News Advertiser sports arivett@durhamregion.com 1050 Brock Rd.

In today’s busy world people pre- fer to take a shower. At Plumbing Mart they have the perfect alternative to the bathtub. It’s a shower con- version that utilizes the space of the tub and at the same time uti- lizing the existing plumbing. “As you can see in the photo, the shower conversion takes advantage of the entire space the tub took up,” says Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart. “It creates a shower with much more space. In fact there’s plenty of room for two people.” The seamless wall panel means no tiles or grout so main- tenance is simple. You also don’t have to move the drain or fix- ture locations. The conversion features optional multi-function shower heads, shower spray and many varieties of sliding glass enclo- sures. There is even an optional seat which women will love for shaving their legs. “You can have it completely installed for under $4,000 and in as little as 3 days” says Sam. “And at the same time adding tremendous value to your home.” Plumbing Mart are leaders when it comes to bathroom ren- ovations. Over the last 40 years they also have established an excellent reputation and have since expanded their specialty to include kitchens. “We already have the best combination when it comes to products and people,” says Sam Beninato of Plumbing Mart. “We’ve done thousands of bath- rooms and kitchen projects.” Located at 1534 Midland Ave., the Plumbing Mart show- room is only 15 minutes from anywhere in Ajax and Pickering. It's a short drive west on Hwy 401, south on McCowan Rd. to Lawrence, go west two major intersections to Midland and then just one block north to Plumbing Mart on the west side.
