Pickering carts out new waste project BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —City council- lors voted unanimously Monday night to jump on board a waste di- version pilot project in Markham that many say will be the future of waste management region-wide. The six-month, ‘cart’-based waste collection project will cost the municipality up to $150,000 and could begin in 500 Pickering homes as early as Oct. 1. The homes to take part in the pilot pro- ject haven’t yet been selected. “If this goes as we hope, by 2003 we could have full participa- tion in Pickering,” said Ward 1 Re- gional Councillor Maurice Brenner See PILOT page 4 BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer PICKERING —Security at all nuclear facilities across Canada remains heightened since the terrorist attacks in the United States. Pat O’Brien, public affairs manager at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, said in an interview that security has been upgraded “right across Canada. “There are our facilities in Ontario, one in Quebec and one in New Brunswick.” Pickering site vice-president Bob Strickert on Tuesday told the Community Advisory Committee, a community-based group that deals with nuclear issues, “We’re at a higher level of se- curity posture. “We’re federally regulated and I’m prohibited to discuss security at any length. We’re at an enhanced level and have been since the morning of the incident. “If you (were to) go on a tour of the plant, you’ll see a different level of security. We have a lot of security that you’re not aware of. As these things occur, we review our sit- uation.” John Froats, the director of site engineering, said public tours of the Pickering plant have been cancelled since Sept. 11 and the situation will stay that way for the time being. “We talk with our federal regulator every time there’s an incident.

At one point dur- ing the meeting trustees talked about the problems they have had doing just what Trustee Roy asked for: working together as a board of trustees. Trustee Shetler prompt- ed the discussion after complaining business was not getting done because trustees are adjourning meetings early. “I think as a board we should all be concerned about this,” she told her colleagues. “We have full agendas. All that does is hold up business and block trustees from dealing with issues.” Trustee Shetler said “it’s unfair to our constituents” to adjourn early without completing the agenda. Trustee Roy said the last time that occurred the trustee did not realize there was another item on the agenda and made a mis- take. A meeting can be ad- journed if a trustee motions for it and has support from a majority of the board. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross has adjourned public meetings at least twice this term, and not by accident. He makes no apologies for doing so, arguing the board is getting very little busi- ness done because of trustee posturing and dis- cussions around meeting procedure. “I’m not going to keep putting up with the rhetoric going on,” he said in an in- terview. “If they want to do business, I’ll stay until two in the morning.” Trustee Roy also called on trustees to take care of business at the local level when they can and not bring it to the board for dis- cussion. “Individual trustees have to take it upon them- selves to communicate with their area superintendent or their schools to resolve matters,” she said. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said sometimes trustees feel they have been “blocked” or unable to do business because of proce- dures. He said it is “totally in- appropriate to prevent a trustee from getting some- thing on the floor. “You don’t block it, you don’t adjourn, you don’t rule it out of order,” said Trustee Crawford. In an interview after the meeting, Trustee Roy said trustees should use the phone to try and resolve small matters and issues that cannot be discussed in public rather than bringing them before the board. “What’s not being brought forward?” she asked. “There are some things not being brought forward because it deals with a personal issue.” “We’re just going to continue on the straight and narrow,” she said. “I try as much as I can to keep the lines of communication open. I will continue to be forceful, to try and keep the tone of the meeting re- spectful.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 PAGE 3 A/P Public trustees told to find peace at the board table Recycle!$299.00 PLUS GST PICKERING LOCATION: 1050 BROCK ROAD, UNIT 10 PICKERING, ON L1W 3X4 SCARBOROUGH LOCATION: 777 WARDEN AVE., SUITE 211 SCARBOROUGH ON.

She noted a terrorist attack was “thought unlikely and now its part of our vocabulary”. Jennifer Klepadlo, another commit- tee member, noted Ontario Power Gen- eration faces the “double-edged sword” of not wanting security to seem too high to scare off the public, while also not wanting it too lax. “It’s a very tricky issue here to dis- cuss security because it defeats the purpose of it,” Mr. Strickert said. “If you went to a (Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) hearing and secu- rity came up, they’d go in-camera (be- hind closed doors). That has been done in the past.” Security is always being reviewed by OPG, he added. When community groups raised 160 issues about plant operations sev- eral years ago, security was one of the topics and has been upgraded, he re- ported. When asked what would happen if a plane were to hit a reactor, Mr. Strick- ert said, “I don’t want to get into that discussion. I don’t think it’s realistic.” He noted the World Trade Center towers were built to withstand the im- pact of a plane, which they did. How- ever, it was the fuel that caused fires that brought the towers down. “Issues such as a plane crashes are part of the design of the plants,” noted Mr. Strickert. On Wednesday, a published report noted Energy Probe, an environmental lobby group, wants the federal govern- ment to use the military to protect nu- clear stations. “They’ve petitioned the prime min- ister to have the military guarding all nuclear facilities. We really don’t have a comment on that. It’s up to the feder- al government and federal regulators,” Mr. O’Brien said in an interview. P PAGE 4 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 Pickering nuclear security alert remains JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Remembering the fallen PICKERING –– Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas led fellow fire- fighters in a salute to those who perished last week in the World Trade Center collapse in pursuit of their duties. Local firefighters observed a minute of silence and saluted those killed. As well, fire trucks were outfitted with black ribbons to signify the loss. Pilot project targets waste in an interview following Monday’s council meeting. He also suggested the project could be adapted by other mu- nicipalities and Durham Region. The ‘Markham’s On A Roll’ cart pilot project is a three-stream system for the collection of recyclables, organics and garbage. Garbage and household recyclables are separated in a 416-litre split cart, while kitchen organic waste and yard waste, not including wood, is set in a 242-litre cart. Carts are collect- ed on a weekly basis. The first six- month phase of the project, already under way in Markham, has resulted in 99 per cent of residents participating voluntarily and a waste diversion rate of 64 per cent, according to a review. Pickering Councillors have asked City staff to begin discussions with Miller Waste, the company currently holding Pickering’s waste collection contract, the Town of Markham, and the Region in order to implement the pro- ject here in Pickering. In his report to council, Coun. Bren- ner said participating in the Markham project means sharing the $16,000 cost of leasing a ‘Heil’truck used to pick up organic waste, as well as savings in sev- eral other areas. It will also avoid the problems of implementing a similar project by itself, which would cost the municipality up to $425,000. He urged councillors to take a lead- ership role in waste diversion and not to let a “six-month window of opportuni- ty” pass while waiting for the Region to get on board. As a part of the plan, council will ask the Region to share 50 per cent of the cost. “I know it’s on a lot of minds that some of this is the Re- gion’s responsibility and I’m not going to ignore that,” Coun. Brenner told his colleagues. “With or without the Region this is something the community does believe in.” PILOT from page 1 PICKERING from page 1 SPECIALSALE Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser or flyers call Circulation at 683-5117.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 Local man makes firefighter’s day To the editor: A little piece of my spirit was returned to me the other day. After the horrors wit- nessed last week I have a renewed sense of awe of the absolute evil and kindness mankind can deliver. In memory of the several hundred of my brother and sister firefighters lost in the cat- astrophe last Tuesday, I went to purchase some black ribbon for the firefighters at my station in Toronto to wear on our uniforms and hang on our trucks. While only looking for several metres of ribbon I was ap- proached by Elliot Grahams of the Lace Place on Bayly Street who took me aside to help. Mr. Grahams handed me more material than I could possibly use and against my pleading refused to allow me to pay for it. I spent the rest of my time, before going back to work, delivering this ribbon to fire de- partments in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa with still enough left over for my own station. Mr. Grahams, please accept the thanks of all the men and women firefighters in our hour of mourning who were touched by your selfless kindness. It is little acts like this that restore my faith in humanity and make the horror of last week a little more bearable.

Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 21, 2001 Our household is recuperating after an enjoyable but tiring six-week stint of visitors from Scotland. It was interesting to view things through their eyes, after being here ourselves for three years. They were impressed, for in- stance, at the display of politeness, friendliness and cleanliness; amazed that alcohol is unavailable in super- markets; speechless at the lack of seg- regation and the display of cama- raderie by fans at a Blue Jays game; shocked that no safety glass/intercom separates us from our bank tellers; awestruck at the number of separate schools (a distinct minority where we hail from); and completely stunned to learn our schools are not locked up. Six years ago in a small Scottish town called Dunblane, a 43-year-old madman entered a school and gunned down 16 children, aged five and six, and their teacher. This tragic massacre led to two things: the lockdown of schools, whereby no one is allowed entry without identification and permis- sion; and a change of the gun laws in the United Kingdom. Today, parents are seen tearfully trying to get their children safely to their Catholic school in Belfast, Ire- land while surrounded by petrol bombs, gunshots and hatred. Back in the late 60s, I learned early on it would be a mistake to show my (then) Catholic colours in my Protestant school. I managed to hide my little secret all through high school and rebelled against the faith with vigour when obtaining my ‘free- dom’at 16, the age children can legal- ly leave school in the U.K. In adulthood I became a soccer fan and attended many games over the years. It saddened me to hear reli- gious taunts between opposing fans — many of whom I believe had little interest in the actual game itself — segregated by tall fences and police. It sickened me to witness appalling behaviour by so-called ‘adults’ in front of young impressionable chil- dren. And this is where I believe it all starts. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to point out that children look to adults as role models. Bullying comes in many forms and can start with an in- nocuous remark. My question is: where does this lead to? In adulthood, I describe myself as “spiritual” rather than “religious”. My life experiences have led me to have my own personal relationship with God without the assistance of organized religion, and this sits well with me as I also respect others’ be- liefs.

Of course, that wouldn’t be anything new. The number of poor children and homeless people has done nothing but increase over the past decade across Canada in spite of political promises and rhetoric to do something about the problem. It was 12 years ago that then-Oshawa MP Ed Broadbent rose in the House of Commons and garnered all- party support for a pledge to eliminate child poverty in Cana- da by 2000. Everybody stood up and promised to work toward that goal and then promptly forgot about it. There was a glimmer of hope several months ago. Prime Minister Jean Chretien spoke about a renewed attempt to deal with child poverty and the federal surpluses building up sug- gested the money was there to handle the problem. But our finances are likely fixed on the terrorism problem for the next few years: consider the cost of ramping up our de- pleted military, of bolstering our security systems, of con- tributing to a multinational anti-terrorism coalition. That means spending on our social problems will in all likelihood be chopped. Right here in Durham, we have Gate 3:16 and the Ark, both of which serve to help homeless people get their lives straight- ened out. The Ark, Durham’s only homeless shelter for young people (16 to 21 years old) is closed at the moment, with volunteers working overtime to get the facility fixed up in time for an an- ticipated October reopening. Gate 3:16, a church-run and community resource centre for the homeless, is running on the goodness of volunteers only right now. There is no money to pay staff but Gate 3:16 con- tinues. Who knows how long it will keep going without more funding? Let’s not forget the thousands of poor children in Durham, kids who don’t have enough to eat, who barely have a roof over their heads, who struggle in school, who move several times each year as their parents try to find a cheaper place to live. Who will speak for the poor and homeless now as our pri- orities become fixed on other matters?

The few precious memories Mrs. Dewell has of her great- grandparents were revived last week by a story that reported that police may be close to cracking the elderly Oshawa couple’s un- solved murder. Now 52 years after the savage slayings of Nicholas and Helen Katerynych, Mrs. Dewell said she recalls her great-grandmother’s soft voice, the smell of her spicy cooking and the wicker basket she once gave her. As reported by the News Ad- vertiser, the team of cold case homicide detectives had been ac- tively investigating the “heinous” decades-old crime when an elder- ly man, whom police had identi- fied as a possible suspect, died two weeks ago. Durham Regional Police In- spector Paul Carroll, in charge of major crime, confirmed the extra- ordinary investigation, which began in 1999. Despite the recent death, he said the investigation remains “active” and detectives are con- tinuing to look closely at other living suspects. “I think it’s wonderful people still care. I’m curious to know how far (the new investigation) has gone. I was amazed and thrilled somebody else still cares after all these years,” said Mrs. Dewell from her Bowmanville home. She said if police can unlock the mystery behind the couple’s murder it would bring peace to the family and justice to her great-grandparents. “Even if the people who did it can’t be brought to justice, just to know who did it would be nice. But if there’s someone who was involved and is alive, and police have evidence, I would certainly want to see them charged. This was a vicious, horrendous crime. It was so violent,” Mrs. Dewell said. “How someone could live with this in their conscience for all these years is beyond me. (The killers) should be made to pay for what they did. “ Now 58, she was seven years old when her great-grandparents were slain. Ms. Dewell recalls being at a Brownies gathering when she was summoned to her home and told the tragic news by family mem- bers. “I was called out by one of the leaders and told to go home. Everybody was crying. It was re- ally hard for everybody at the time, not only for my grandpar- ents but also my parents,” the married mother of three said. Ms. Dewell, one of seven great-grandchildren, stayed in a room with her cousins and, being children, they were not told at the time of the horrible circum- stances of the deaths, she said. Over the years, she would learn details of the sickening crime that shocked the entire community and stumped police for decades to come. A neighbour found the Katerynychs’ battered bodies Nov. 29, 1949 in their bungalow at 256 Park Ave., now Mc- Naughton Avenue. The pair had been bludgeoned and stabbed to death in what appeared to be a home invasion. Robbery was the apparent mo- tive, as the killer or killers had methodically ransacked the frail victims’ neatly-kept home in a search for hidden savings. Mr. Katerynych struggled fiercely to protect his wife and himself, according to published news reports of the day. He was found face down in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. He had been struck repeat- edly over the head, his skull crushed with a blunt object, pos- sibly a club or hammer. Mrs. Katerynych was found sprawled in the bathroom door- way and had 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 shocking discovery after growing concerned about the couple. Mrs. Katerynych had been fighting pneumonia and had not been well and neither had been seen for a few days. Neighbours said the couple were being watched and a suspi- cious black car had been spotted driving up and down the street prior to their deaths. They were thought to keep their life-savings hidden in the house. “It must have been someone who knew their personal busi- ness,” said Mrs. Dewell, whose maternal grandmother was Polly Tkatch, Mr. Katerynych’s daugh- ter from an earlier marriage. Just prior to the murders Mr. Katerynych had sold six lots he owned on Ritson Road, Mrs. Dewell said. “Over the years I’ve heard odds and ends about various pos- sible suspects but the family never talked that much about it,” she said. “At the time, everybody was a suspect.” Mrs. Dewell clings to the few memories she holds of the Katerynychs. She recalls how their home was always warm and smelled of her great-grandmother’s spicy cooking. “I remember one time she gave me a wicker basket and took me out to the hen house at the back and gave me some eggs. “She was very soft-spoken and mild-mannered. They seemed close.” Mrs. Dewell now lives near her widowed mother, Jannette Nidery, one of Ms. Tkatch’s three daughters. Her father was the late Robert Nidery. As reported by the News Ad- vertiser, police began reinvesti- gating the double-murder in 1999 after two homicide detectives tasked with reviewing cold cases found an old letter — which had been sent to the police force 13 years earlier — from a man claiming to know who was re- sponsible for the couple’s slay- ing. The man, X, was tracked to a Quebec penitentiary where he was serving time for violent of- fences. He agreed to co-operate with police and was enlisted as an “agent” to help detectives gather evidence against the living sus- pect. X was 11 years old at the time of the murders and claimed he stood lookout in front of the house for the killers, the News Advertiser has learned. He identified one culprit as a man who died in a 1954 car crash and another who lived freely in Durham Region — until his death two week ago. Meanwhile, a reader who was 19 at the time of the murders con- tacted the News Advertiser on Monday and recounted a “strange” phone call she received from a man in the days after the crime. The woman said she called police in the mid-1950s to pass on the information but was told that the people responsible for the murders had been already identi- fied and had died in a car wreck. The woman said the man who had called her following the mur- ders was not among those killed in the crash. Her information was forward- ed to the cold squad currently in- vestigating. BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —A Durham- based emergency rescue group is at the ready, preparing for a call from New York to assist in the recovery mission at the World Trade Center. Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response Team (OVERT) has been placed on standby with the provincial Emergency Measures Ontario office to assist crews in New York working to uncover bodies buried in the rubble of last Tuesday’s terrorist attack. OVERT will join the City of Toronto’s Heavy Urban Rescue Team, said Brad Cooper, OVERT spokesman. The organi- zation is seeking public financial assistance to aid these efforts, he says. “The whole team is on stand- by. Deployment would probably involve about 30 members,” Mr. Cooper explained, noting it will depend on which skills are need- ed as to who will travel with the contingent. “There’s a high prob- ability we will get the call.” Currently there are several rescue groups on site but those organizations will need rein- forcements as mental and physi- cal fatigue set in, said Mr. Coop- er, noting the recovery of the thousands of missing persons be- lieved to be buried under the buildings’ debris “will be a long process”. There are a number of pieces of specialized equipment the team will need to take with it when it makes the trip, said Mr. Cooper. As well, due to conditions at the site, Mr. Cooper said the teams’ uniforms and personal equipment may not return with it following the mission. When OVERT undertakes a mission, the non-profit organiza- tion provides all the equipment and supplies it requires, he said. OVERT is hoping the public will assist financially to allow the or- ganization make the required purchases. In the event OVERT is not called upon to assist in New York or if more funds are raised than are required, any extra money will be used to equip future rescue efforts local- ly or where the rescue group is called upon to assist. In the past, OVERT has assisted the Durham Regional Police Service on sev- eral missing persons searches as well as assisting in other body recovery missions in other parts of Ontario. Anyone interested in donat- ing to OVERT’s rescue efforts can send a cheque or money order to: OVERT, P.O. Box 54062, 8 King St. E., Oshawa, L1H 1A9. Anyone seeking fur- ther information can leave a message at 905-404-2889. Family still seeks justice in couple’s 1949 murder WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo This grave at Bondhead Cemetery in Durham marks the final rest- ing place of Nicholas and Helen Katerynych, brutally murdered in 1949. No one has ever been charged in the case and a possible suspect uncovered by a Durham police cold-case squad died re- cently. Police say the murder probe remains active. Durham rescuers prepare for New York Brougham woman says day starts too soon for trip to Ajax high school BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer AJAX —Roughly 80 rural stu- dents who attend Pickering High School are arriving at or before 8 a.m. each day, long before their 9:25 a.m. first class, because one of two morning school buses has been can- celled. And while the school plans to offer remedial programs and allow students access to the library during the down time, some parents are complaining it’s too early for their kids to be up for school when class doesn’t start for hours. Brougham-area resident Mary De- laney said her Grade 9 daughter is a good student who needs the extra sleep and breakfast, not remedial help. She has written a letter of com- plaint to Education Minister and local MPP Janet Ecker asking her to intervene. “I’m frustrated,” said Ms. De- laney. “I feel like I’ve been shuffled back and forth (with her calls for an- swers). I don’t blame the school, and if the school board was honest with me, I wouldn’t blame them either.” Board transportation manager Lynda Smith said it was requests from parents who wanted their kids on the earlier bus that prompted the move and that it was the school’s choice. She added after speaking with school representatives, “they didn’t think it was a big problem”. But principal Al Monks said the board left no choice but to cut a bus, with the only question being which of four routes — two in the morning and two in the afternoon — would be lost. Dropping one of the morning buses was the best option available, he said. “We think we made the right deci- sion,” said Mr. Monks. “We knew it would be a difficult decision for some students in the morning.” “I don’t want to blame (the board) for that. In the past they’ve been able to give us two buses; I want to share the responsibility with them.” Mr. Monks said the school would be sending letters home to parents, telling them about the morning reme- dial programs and recommending students take part. Grade 10 students preparing for the provincial literacy test next month are among those who could benefit, he said. Speaking with a friend in Clare- mont, Ms. Delaney said some parents did indeed want their kids in earlier. But that’s because the students were arriving for school right at the open- ing bell, causing some pupils to be late. Ms. Delaney fears the prospect of her daughter “standing on a major highway in the dark in order to get to school an hour and a half early to sat- isfy yet another penny-pinching cost- saving effort”. Ms. Smith acknowledged the board was “saving a few bucks” with the move, but added the decision was made in response to parents’ re- quests, not to save money.

CHAC-APNA-B1 BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PORT PERRY — Durham Regional Police are investigating a head-on collision that occurred just south of Port Perry Tuesday afternoon and claimed the lives of a 69-year-old Port Perry man and a 50-year- old Oshawa woman. Reverend John Griffen and Theresa B. Weller, who worked at Ontario Power Generation’s inspections and maintenance office in Ajax, were killed when their vehicles collided on Simcoe Street at around 3:30 p.m. along an ‘S’ turn known to many as the ‘pump house curve’ be- cause of its proximity to a Durham Region water pumping station supplying Port Perry. Rev. Griffen was head- ing north when his 1995 Mercury Mystique collided with Ms. Weller’s south- bound 2000 Pontiac Mon- tana, police report. Rev. Griffen was taken to Lak- eridge Health Port Perry where he later died. Ms. Weller died at Lakeridge Health Oshawa from her in- juries. The two were the only occupants of the vehi- cles. Simcoe Street was closed for several hours to allow for the traffic man- agement unit to investigate. Constable Don St. Onge said police are awaiting au- topsy results to determine if the collision was medically- related. Mrs. Weller, of Connerly Crescent in Oshawa, will be missed greatly by Phil, her husband of 29 years, and their 15-year-old son Casey. “There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for anybody,” said Mr. Weller through tears. “She was a go-getter.” A fellow minister and close friend of Rev. Griffen, meanwhile, fondly remem- bered his colleague. “He worked part-time but his heart worked full- time and his schedule was full-time,” said Reverend Craig Donnelly, at Kingsview United Church in Oshawa, where Rev. Griffen was a minister of visitation and pastoral care for the past three years. Rev. Donnelly, who had lunch with his colleague Tuesday, said Rev. Griffen, or ‘Jack’ as family and friends knew him, was heading home when the ac- cident occurred. “He was going to change and let the dog out for a walk before going to the Blue Jays game with his brother Ted,” he said. “He was a loyal Blue Jays fan.” “At lunch, Jack said to me, ‘I love doing what I’m doing’.” Visitation for Mrs. Weller will be held today (Friday) at Thornton Chapel, 847 King St. W., Oshawa from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral ser- vice is held Saturday, Sept. 22 at 11 a.m. Visitation for Rev. Griff- en is scheduled for Satur- day, Sept. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at Port Perry United Church, 294 Queen St.; and Sunday, Sept. 23 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Kingsview United Church, 505 Adelaide St. E. in Oshawa. The funeral ser- vice is at Kingsview on Sunday at 3 p.m. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 PAGE 11 A/P Head-on crash in north Durham claims two OPERATOR 401 PSSST...

BY LESLIE JENNINGS Special to the News Advertiser When was the last time you danced a good polka? In my own case, it’s been a long, long time since I taught someone to hop-to- gether-hop in an arena oops, I mean festhalle. And it struck me, that per- haps it was time to teach my own sons the finer points of the polka be- fore they were embarrassed to been seen dancing with me. Of course, the only real place to investigate this idea is at Oktoberfest in Kitchener-Waterloo. The folks in K-W have been putting on the tradi- tional celebration since 1969, and today the event is second in scope only to the one held in Munich, Ger- many. Believe it or not, Oktoberfest started out as a way of celebrating King Ludwig I of Bavaria’s mar- riage in 1810. Horse races were the best thing that Ludwig’s loyal subjects could come up with as a sign of their de- votion. The habit of having a cele- bration in October caught on, and carried on into the 21st century, though today the horse racing thing seems to have been eclipsed by more of an out- doorsy, manly, Bavarian festival. On venturing to Oktoberfest, I dis- covered it was a great family event – in much the same way that the Fergus Highland Games makes for a great family day. Oktoberfest in Kitchener-Water- loo is a big pro- duction, running nine days in length (this year from Oct. 5 through 13). There is a wide assortment of ac- tivities to choose from including the Official Opening Ceremonies at Kitchener Civic Square (Music! Dancing! Revelers!) Family Pan- cake Breakfast, dropping by the Kitchener-Waterloo Farmers Mar- ket, Schmetterlings Vom Deutsch- land (100s of free flying German butterflies in a tropical garden), Bo- genschuetzenfest (the oldest cultural event at Oktoberfest, essentially demonstrations of bow shooting at a 4-foot carved eagle on a 35- foot pole), a visit to the Kitchener Wilkommen Platz featuring live free entertainment on the weekends and numerous displays and activities. Traditional Mennonite home If you decide to deke out from the parade a wee bit early, it will give you plenty of time to visit Erntefest at Joseph Schneider Haus (the oldest Mennonite home in the area). First off, the house has nothing to do with the famous sausage maker. The Schneider’s of this particular home were affluent Mennonite farmers. The “Erntefest” or harvest-fest is an opportunity for visitors to see how the Schneiders would have prepared for winter. As you enter the kitchen – the tra- ditional point of entry for a Men- nonite home, note the heart shaped latch welcoming you into the heart of the home. In the kitchen cos- tumed interpreters will display such traditional harvest tasks as apple “schnitzing” or drying, preparing sauerkraut, cider making and bak- ing. A point of interest upstairs is the “Bettermanstub” or Beggar’s Room, a narrow space lighted by an opening cut into the adjacent boy’s room. Here, weary tramps might find a night’s rest thanks to the benevolent Schneiders. Outside there are a number of out- buildings and a picket fence en- closed garden filled with period veg- etables and herbs. The house was started by Joseph Schneider the elder in 1816 but the house has been restored to depict 1856. Joseph Schneider, a Pennsylvania-German Mennonite, was one of the first set- tlers in the Kitchener area – then named Berlin. The harvest activities are particu- larly interesting, as many of them are not a whole lot different from the preparations traditional Mennonites still make in their homes today. For more information call 519-742- 7752. Admission: $5 for a family. Located 466 Queen St South Kitch- ener. Home of Mackenzie King Another option is to visit Wood- side, the childhood home of William (“Willie) Lyon MacKenzie King, our 10th Prime Minister. The house has been restored to depict the peri- od 1891, the year Willie left to study at the University of Toronto. Al- though he only lived at Woodside for five years, (after 1891 only returning for holidays,) he fondly remembered living at Woodside as some of the best times of his life. Today, thanks to a timely save by the North Water- loo Liberal Association (who pur- chased the home in the 1940s just before it was to be demolished) you can see a fine example of a Victorian household. During Oktoberfest, the house is set up for Thanksgiving. The Kings were known for their par- ties, and the table is set for quite a soiree. Kids will be more entertained by the examples of Victorian era amusements, available for a try out- side. We tried our hand at hoops and stilts, meanwhile inside there was a Discovery Room with a variety of games and household items that were of much interest to my kids. The house was filed with the de- lectable aroma of roasting turkey, which each Thanksgiving is donated to a worthy charity. Ginger beer is on hand for the sampling. The recipe is straight from the King recipe book, but my kids de- cided they’d stick with modern gin- ger ale. Woodside and Joseph Schneider Haus are both National Historic Sites. Woodside is located at 528 Wellington St North, Kitchener. The surrounding grounds afford a pleas- ant spot to walk or picnic. Admis- sion is $2.50 adult, $1.50 child. Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily ‘til Dec 23. Christmas at Woodside is anoth- er fine time to visit!

The Durham District School Board’s annual award goes to a staff member or team that has made “an exceptional contri- bution to the growth of others”. Education director Grant Yeo, at Monday night’s board meet- ing, described Mr. Bender, co- ordinator of The Career Acade- my for Hire Education at the Oshawa school, as someone who “remodelled a school to meet the needs of students.” In danger of closing about three years ago, Central is now the board’s leader in training students for careers after high school. A humble Mr. Bender told trustees it was “a little over- whelming” to receive the award and explained why he was blushing. “I’m totally blessed in being able to work with so many groups of exceptional people,” he said. He noted it was support from trustees and staff at the Education Centre that “has made so many impossible things possible for us”. Mr. Yeo also took the oppor- tunity to announce Central’s career academy has won the national Yves Landry Award for outstanding youth appren- ticeship program. The award comes with $5,000. Oshawa trustees lauded Mr. Bender and his team at Cen- tral. “As Al has said, it certainly is a school that offers unique opportunities for students,” said Trustee Cynthia Steffen. “The difference he’s making to the students there is beyond measure.” DOOR SYSTEMS Get a maintenance-free garage door with baked-on paint.

Luke’s Place, a fledgling, yet-unopened support and resource centre for women and children, will benefit from a baseball tour- nament and silent auction, being held Sat- urday, at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex in Bowmanville, beginning at 8 a.m. The tournament is being organized by Detective Craig Greentree and Constable Mike Swaga, two Durham Regional Police (DRP) Clarington officers involved in the initial investigation of the murder of Luke Schillings at the hands of his father, Paul Johannes Schillings, who then killed him- self. The centre will offer women informa- tion that Luke’s mother, Kate Schillings, wishes she had when she left an abusive re- lationship in 1997. “I knew nothing going into that whole process, and I was already pretty trauma- tized having come out of what I’d come out of,” said Ms. Schillings, an Oshawa resi- dent, who said she had endured both emo- tional and psychological abuse at the hands of Luke’s father. “I had a plan to leave, and ended up hav- ing to escape a week or so earlier than planned, simply because of the escalation of behaviour on my ex-partner’s part,” she recalled. “I had reason to be concerned... but could not put my finger on what it was. The threats were very veiled.” She asked the court for full custody, and to allow her husband only supervised ac- cess to Luke. But, since her husband had no known history or prior conviction of such an offence, that’s not what Ms. Schillings received. “They allowed unsupervised access, and they allowed it the very next day. I was obliged to take my son to his father and that was the last time I saw him. It was the last time I saw either of them,” she said, noting she felt she had no choice but to co-operate and drop her son off. Autopsy reports indicate Luke was strangled unconscious by his father, then laid on a bed engulfed in flames. The au- topsy showed Mr. Schillings suffered self- inflicted knife wounds, but that both father and son died of smoke inhalation. The idea for Luke’s Place came from a community working conference held in March 1999, where 52 female abuse sur- vivors, including Luke’s mother, indicated a need for such a resource centre. The cen- tre is to offer information and peer support to women, especially those preparing to exit or having already left an abusive rela- tionship. Luke’s Place will offer women in- formation and support as they go through custody and access proceedings. Women in such situations “need infor- mation, need to find out about the informa- tion as quickly as possible,” Ms. Schillings said. “Having peer support from people who had been there certainly would have helped me.” The centre was incorporated last De- cember, and received charitable status last spring. A board of directors has been formed and will be expanding in the fall. The group is currently applying for funding from various organizations. The first order of business for the centre is to gather resource materials, to be housed temporarily at office space, which has been donated from another local agency. The long-term plan is to find a house for the centre, in a centrally-located, accessible place for women from across Durham Re- gion and beyond. “We want it to feel homey, not kind of an institutional-type of office building,” said Ms. Schillings, noting the group would “love to be in it inside of a two-year time frame”. This weekend’s baseball tournament is the first formal fund-raiser for the centre. Durham Regional Police teams from Clar- ington and Oshawa, the Bowmanville RCMP office, and the Municipality of Clarington will take part in the all-day event, which will also feature visits from the Durham canine and tactical units, dis- plays and a silent auction. Bidders in the silent auction will have a chance to purchase a ride-along for two in the police helicopter, Toronto Maple Leafs tickets, and a signed game sweater from Adam Foote of the Colorado Avalanche, among other items. Refreshments will be available. Games will be played at the east diamond of the Garnet B. Rickard Recre- ation Centre, at Hwy. 2 and Regional Road 57. Anyone wishing to donate to Luke’s Place can do so through the Oshawa Com- munity Credit Union, account number 19260. As well, donations can be sent to Luke’s Place, P.O. Box 245, 701 Rossland Rd. E., Whitby, L1N 9K3. — with files by Stephen Shaw A charity baseball tournament this weekend is helping to fund a new re- source centre for abused women and children in Durham.

A/P PAGE 18 NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 PAGE 19 A/P Test confirms bird found in Durham had West Nile BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer DURHAM ––Tests have con- firmed a dead bird found in central Whitby late last month did have the West Nile virus. A federal lab in Winnipeg has veri- fied what three preliminary tests, con- ducted in Guelph after the bird was found Aug. 29, initially indicated - that the bird did carry the potentially dead- ly, mosquito-transmitted disease. The confirmed positive test has set in motion a mosquito surveillance pro- gram, a joint effort between the Region and Health Canada. As of Tuesday evening, five mosquito traps were set up in the central Whitby area, where the bird was found. “We’ll be moving them, depending on the yield of mosquitoes they get,” says Dr. Donna Reynolds, the Region’s asso- ciate medical officer. Mosquitoes caught will first be sent to Brock University in St. Catharines for species identifi- cation and counting, then to Winnipeg, where they will be checked for evidence of the West Nile virus. The results will help determine if any control measures are necessary, says Dr. Reynolds. Mosquitoes transmit the West Nile virus after feeding on the blood of birds which carry the virus. Most peo- ple infected with West Nile show no symptoms, or mild flu-like symptoms. But, in rare cases, the illness can cause meningitis or encephalitis, and, in some cases, death. According to Health Canada, the first North American outbreak of the virus occurred in and around New York City about two years ago. The crow found in Whitby was the first in Durham Region to test positive for the West Nile virus, which was first seen in Ontario when a bird found in Windsor Aug. 22 tested positive. It has since shown up in other areas and parts of the province. Dead birds found in Durham continue to be tested, to determine whether the virus has in fact found its way here. “If this is our only bird, it could suggest that the bird had ac- quired it in another area” and sim- ply died here, says Dr. Reynolds. The health department asks Durham residents to continue calling the Environmental Help Line at 905-723-8521 or 1-800- 841-2729, ext. 2188, to report any dead crows or blue jays found. DR. DONNA REYNOLDS ‘If this is our only bird, it could suggest the bird acquired it in another area.’ ADD seminar Tuesday PICKERING ––An information seminar is being held next week for anyone who wishes to find out how the symptoms of ADD/ADHD can be managed without the use of drugs.

CHICKEN STRIP BASKET GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH BREADED CHICKEN BREAST SANDWICH CRISPY CHICKEN SALAD WHITBY ––A modern Canadian artist, Francis Muscat is bringing his unique sculpture exhibit to the Sta- tion Gallery for the next month. Muscat’s exhibit ‘Cross Media’ will run through Oct. 14. “Some (sculptures) are a combina- tion of glass and stone, glass and metal parts and some are suspended glass,” said Linda Paulocik, the gallery’s director and curator. “There are a number of large pieces and his combination of glass and metal is very inventive and the size is very impressive,” she added. The artist cuts, fuses, bends, sand- blasts glass and uses other techniques to create the sculptures being dis- played. Cross Media focuses on Muscat’s current approach to working with a range of materials, showing his ideas about heroes, how sculpture can cre- ate music through a kinetic perfor- mance and his curiosity between glass and metal relationships in large figures. Muscat studies at the Ontario Col- lege of Art and Design and the Three Schools of Art and Humber College have provided a foundation for cre- ative expression to him. His work has been greatly exhibit- ed throughout Ontario and has been recognized for excellence by many organizations. For more information about the display and gallery hours call 905- 668-4185.

So whether you’re more astounded by the world’s greatest values or the best 5-year warranty in the country, come to Kia of Pickering. Unlike competitive dealerships where you’ll experience the Mysterious Pyramid of Eternal Debt and meet the Unbearable Human Lizard, we just want to help you find a well-made car for a good price. By the way, unlike the stars of the circus, Kia is in town to stay.

The Region is investi- gating whether paramedics receiving an $18,000 ad- vanced life support (ALS) training course should have to pay back part of that cost if they do not remain em- ployed at the Region for three years, said Rick Arm- strong, director of Durham’s medical services. The investigation was prompted by comments made by Mayor Diamond at a Sept. 12 regional coun- cil meeting. “This is an enormous in- vestment. My concern is we’ll become a training centre for paramedics but will we keep them?” asked the Oshawa mayor. Five Durham para- medics will be trained this fall at a total cost of $90,500, to be funded through the Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices’ ‘community partici- pation bonus’ program. Through the winter and spring, another 33 para- medics are expected to un- dergo the same training at an additional cost to Durham taxpayers of $600,000. Durham paramedics re- ceiving the training may have to commit to a three- year service agreement or reimburse the Region for some of the associated costs, suggested Mr. Arm- strong. “That is one of the op- tions we’re looking at,” he said. “It seems to be the policy in most centres that are doing the training so we have to look at it. We may or may not introduce some- thing.” However, the para- medics’ union president pointed out the Region would have to reopen the collective agreement if it hopes to implement this type of policy. “It’s against the current collective agreement to have charge-back,” said Helen Gibb-Gavel, presi- dent of CUPE 1764, who added the next round of bargaining is in 2004. However, she said, there is currently an effort by the Region to look at positive initiatives that encourage employee retention and she believes the paramedics are not intending to get free training to move elsewhere. “I can’t see them doing that. I don’t see them as that type of person to just go for the training and then leave.” Still, she concedes, paramedics with ALS train- ing are in high demand, es- pecially in the Greater Toronto Area and some other regions receive more funding than Durham and can offer better pay and benefits, she said. But in January 2000, Durham paramedics were brought on as Region employees, which did resolve some of the parity issues with other areas, she said.

The 19-year-old is enjoying the work, done to the accompaniment of loud music. He knows he’s picking up valuable working skills but, more importantly, he’s also helping improve the shelter for young people between the ages of 16 and 21 who have no homes. Not long ago, he was one of the residents of the Ark, a homeless youth. Today, he’s one of 10 for- mer residents working to upgrade the shelter and get it ready for its reopening this fall. “I stayed here before and I got into this so all the kids can go here if they need to,” he said. “We are going to get it all fixed for them.” Some of the tasks he’s done in- clude painting, taking up carpets, fixing holes in the drywall. He’s also going to put down hardwood and carpeting in the three-storey, six-bedroom building. He’s grateful for the Ark in tak- ing him in when he was homeless and for helping him find a home and then a job. It’s a job that was born out of necessity on the Ark’s part. Last May, a new board of directors took over the Division Street shel- ter, determined to keep it open. The former board had decided it was too expensive to continue. “We were good,” said execu- tive director Erin Matthews. “We read our contract (which stipu- lates annual fire inspection). We called the fire department.” When the inspector from Os- hawa Fire Department arrived and indicated no one had checked the place for five years, before it was a youth shelter, Ms. Matthews knew this meant trouble. Sure enough, the inspector sent back seven pages of infractions, things that needed to be done. Heat sen- sors on smoke alarms were paint- ed over, batteries in many alarms weren’t working, there were no fire doors, the fire alarm system was hooked up to the police sta- tion and the kitchen fire suppres- sion system wasn’t operational, she said. In total, the work amounted to $54,000. The board thought that might just be it for the Ark. “We had nothing” apart from one week to find the 27 young res- idents new places to stay, Ms. Matthews said. But the federal government came to the rescue. When the board met with Durham Region, which pays a per diem per youth to the shelter, and Human Re- sources Development Canada, members were informed the fed- eral department could help out. HRDC came up with money to pay for the fire retrofit and $135,000 through Youth Services Canada to hire 10 young people to do much of the work. “These kids are rebuilding the Ark,” Ms. Matthews said. HRDC also gave the Ark money to hire a consultant to de- velop a proper policy and program guide and operating money to get things going while the shelter is closed. “They rescued us,” Ms. Matthews said of the federal gov- ernment. As for Oshawa Fire Services, they’ve been “very supportive” to the Ark.” The Ark is also getting help from numerous business and com- munity organizations, including Home Depot, which is donating labour and materials to fix the bathrooms. The Ajax Fire Depart- ment dropped off a load of metal bed frames, no longer needed since new ones were purchased for the firefighters. “No one in the community has said ‘no’,” she said. “This is a good news story.” However, more is needed and the Ark is about to embark on a “major begging spree” with the young people going door to door. Ms. Matthews said people who don’t feel comfortable donating at the door can simply drop off do- nations at the Ark. Money, materi- als, supplies and even time and labour will be gladly accepted as well, she said. “I would rather see community involvement with these kids rather than cash. I want to see people come here and get involved with the kids,” Ms. Matthews said. The Ark, which should reopen Oct. 15, normally houses any- where from 20 to 27 young people daily. They have to be homeless, but the reason doesn’t matter, Ms. Matthews said. About 95 per cent come from Durham. The Ark will provide its resi- dents with help accessing a num- ber of services, including literacy training, employment programs and housing counselling. There will be a court assistant to help anyone in trouble with the law.

Youth in the community have been busy working to bring the Oshawa facility up to meet building and fire codes to allow it to continue to provide shelter for home- less youth.

DURHAM —The Ajax- Pickering Dolphins clawed the North York Grizzlies for two wins in Central Ontario Minor Football League games in North York last weekend. In the tyke division, the Dolphins blanked the Griz- zlies 15-0 to improve their record to 4-1. The team’s en- tire defensive unit played an outstanding game, especial- ly cornerback Richard Quit- tenton, who intercepted a North York pass, and defen- sive captain Andre Shand. Fullback David West and running back Myles Daly scored the touchdowns. Kicker Giancarlo Amenta booted a field goal. Amenta also caught the only com- pleted pass of the game from quarterback Jesse Kelly. Kelly and Amenta were named co-of- fensive stars of the game. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms notched their fourth con- secutive victory of the season with a 20-0 shutout of the Grizzlies. David Priestman with two touch- downs and Cecil Cherrie with one han- dled all the scoring. On the offensive line, tight end An- drew Smith dominated op- posing linemen as well as deliv- ering one of two major bone- crushing blocks of the day. The other big block came from An- drew Quittenton during a Dolphins’ interception. Tris- tan Ming and Eric Degnan also supplied strong efforts on the offensive line Defensive back Ian Schofield and linebacker Scott Campbell both chipped in with pass inter- ceptions and the defensive line continued its fine play, harassing, chasing and sack- ing the North York quarter- back and running backs for most of the game. The Dolphins’ peewees suffered their second loss of the season, 14-12 to the Grizzlies. Kyle Exume and Milos Kucevic scored touch- downs for Ajax-Pickering. All three Dolphins’ squads are at home against the Burlington Stampeders at Kinsmen Park in Picker- ing this Sunday, Sept. 23. Board facilitator ‘overwhelmed’by response BY BRIAN LEGREE Staff Editor DURHAM — It appears high school sports will return in a big way throughout Durham this fall. Durham’s 31 high schools had until last Friday to declare which sports they would participate in and the response has been “overwhelming”, said Rob Dyment, the Durham District School Board’s health and physical education facilitator, who is helping co-ordinate the implementation of inter-school ath- letics. “Most schools have at least 20 teams, which is great to see,” said Dy- ment, adding conveners will get a list of participating schools this week and should have schedules drawn up by week’s end. Football, girls’ field hockey, golf, boys’ soccer, boys’ volleyball, girls’ basketball, cross-country and tennis are the fall sports that will begin shortly, said Dyment. “I’m overwhelmed by the response, it’s better than expected,” he said. “It’s not up to where we were, but we’re ap- proaching it.” School athletics have undergone a tumultuous three years as the provincial government and teachers have butted heads over contractual issues and ongo- ing changes to the education system. The governing body of high school sports — Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Athletics — even suspended operations last school year, but teacher- coaches voted earlier this month to recommence activities. The group has a self-imposed dead- line of Sept. 28 to put a new executive in place or run the risk of not having Durham athletes compete in provincial championships. But Dyment said the process of getting enough volunteers to staff the executive “is going well”. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES:The governing body of high school athletics in Ontario — Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association — has in- stituted a new ‘AAAA’ level of compe- tition for schools with more than 1,200 students. “It’s something OFSAA has mandated,” said Dyment, noting 15 Durham high schools will have to com- pete at the ‘AAAA’level. “I think some of the schools are stunned because they have like 1,280 students and they’ll be going against schools with 2,000 stu- dents.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, September 21, 2001 PAGE 29 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 21, 2001 Durham high schools running back to after-school sports Please recycle this paper Dolphins fight off Grizzlies twice Pirates pillage Ajax ...PAGE 31 MILITARY COLLECTABLE SHOW & SALE SEPT. 22ND & 23RD 2001 METRO EAST TRADE CENTRE PICKERING, ONTARIO.

Pickering clinched the title after win- ning the second game of the best-of-three series with Ajax, 20-8. The Pirates domi- nated from the mound with Adam Hurley, Eric Watson and Eric Wilton throwing smoke, while Kyle Smeelen closed the game with a three-up, three-down inning. The defence was solid with Evan Boileau snagging two fly balls in centre field and Jeff Hannon digging one out of the dirt at first base for a third out. Catch- er Tyler Henderson kept the Ajax base run- ners honest. The offence was tireless with Ryan Mc- Mackin leading the way with three hits, four runs batted in, and four runs scored. Henderson contributed four RBIs by reaching base five times with two singles, two walks, and getting hit by a pitch. Wat- son also reached base five times with a sin- gle, three walks, and a hit by pitch, to score three runs. Andrew Adamic and Han- non each drove in three runs. Smeelen and Watson crossed the dish seven times be- tween them and Mitchell Oke and Hannon combined for seven steals. In Game 1 of the series, Pickering took the lead in the fifth inning on the way to a 14-8 win. Hurley picked up the win on the mound, with Smeelen shutting the door in the sev- enth. Mitchell Oke was on fire with three hits, including a leadoff triple, and four runs scored. Hannon and Smeelen con- tributed two hits apiece, while Wilton and Oke burned up the bases with six stolen bases between them. In league semifinal playoff action, Pickering edged Whitby Red by an aggre- gate score of 10-9 in a two-game, total- runs-scored doubleheader. The first game ended in a 4-4 tie, with strong pitching from both sides. Hurley and Smeelen al- lowed only one earned run in six innings. Watson and Hannon led the offence with two hits each. In the second game, Pickering claimed victory with a come-from-behind, extra in- nings 6-5 win. The pitching duo of Watson and Smee- len didn’t allow a run through five innings pitched. Iain Smook picked up the save in relief. The offence came alive with three dou- bles to the fence and two runs scored by Hurley. McMackin, Henderson and Smook contributed key hits and Chris Smith and Hannon had extra-base hits to round out the attack. The team is coached by John Smeelen, Al McMackin, Larry Henderson and Peter Hurley. Statisticians are Doug Wilton and Larry Hannon.
