has heard one
complaint in 18
years of service
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —It’s pure
Canadiana.
Kids scrape their thinning
old hockey sticks along the
frozen asphalt vying for pos-
session of the puck, ball or
maybe just a piece of ice.
Each winter the streets of
our residential neighbour-
hoods emerge as make-be-
lieve ice surfaces where gen-
erations of Canadian youth
live out their fantasies, believ-
ing, if only for a moment,
they are the NHL heroes they
so admire.
“Car!” several kids scream
out when a neighbour wishes
to pass through, and for the
most part, the kids move out
of the way, leaving their
dreams alone for the moment
as a motorist makes his way
through.
A rarely enforced bylaw in
Hamilton forbids people from
playing any sport in the
streets and police charged res-
ident Gary Kotar after a
neighbour complained about
her flowerbeds being tram-
pled and tennis balls hitting
her car.
Mr. Kotar, who often plays
on the street with his young
son and others, was in court
last Monday facing the
charge. The case was dis-
missed, with the justice of the
peace citing a lack of evi-
dence.
The bylaw reportedly ex-
ists in many Canadian cities,
including Toronto, but not
here in Pickering, the Millen-
nium City.
City clerk Bruce Taylor
confirmed Pickering’s atti-
tude has been more of one
that lets our youthful dream-
ers play on.
He said Pickering believes
“it’s a Highway Traffic Act
issue” and would respond to
residents’ complaints by
telling them to notify police
the kids were blocking traffic,
although he added there
haven’t been many residents
speaking up.
“I’ve been with the City in
bylaw enforcement for 18
years and in that time I’ve
only heard of one complaint
about kids playing hockey in
the street,” he explained.
“That one was handled by po-
lice.”
Although Hamilton and
other Canadian cities may dif-
fer, in Pickering it looks like
it’s ‘Game on!’

nounced this week Valley View
Public School will be kept

The Durham District School
Board, in a 9-2 vote, approved
its elementary building plan
Monday night with a final tally
of five schools to close, five
new facilities and four additions
at a cost of $50.5 million.

Crime fighters, times two!
Law enforcement duo
gets double takes,
results in Durham
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Meet rookie
constables Wayne and Wes King,
Durham Regional Police’s new
secret weapons and a dose of
double trouble for crooks.
The crime-fighting duo, 27-
year-old identical twins born five
minutes apart, not only share du-
plicate genes, friends and hob-
bies, but they’re leading parallel
lives, travelling the same career
path that now has them in uni-
form.
Believed to be just the second
set of twins to work for the same
police force in this province, the
Oshawa natives, who share an
Ajax condo with a friend, were
sworn in last August after gradu-
ating from the Ontario Police
College.
The King brothers were born
Sept. 26, 1974, and since that
day they’ve been attached at the
hip, figuratively speaking. Both
attended high school at Eastdale
Collegiate, graduated from Trent
University with degrees in soci-
ology and cultural studies and
spent five years in the advertising
field working in Toronto as ac-
count executives for large inter-
national companies.
The furore in Hamilton over road hockey hasn’t had any ef-
fect here at home. Young hockey enthusiasts Cody Bianco (in
goal) and Ben Reid set up their gear Monday afternoon be-
fore daily demands such as homework interfered in their
pursuit of happiness.

Pickering man slashed
during robbery attempt
PICKERING —A 19-year-
old man was slashed in the fore-
head after refusing to hand over
his necklace during a street rob-
bery Saturday night.
Durham Regional Police said
the victim was walking on Peb-
blestone Gate at 9 p.m. when
two men, one with a blue ban-
danna over his face, confronted
him and demanded his gold
chain. The youth refused and
shoved his attackers, one of
whom pulled out a knife and
slashed him. The pair fled.
Police said the victim’s injury
was minor and did not require
hospital treatment.
The suspects were de-
scribed as black, between 17
and 20. One was 6-foot-tall and
wore a dark parka with a fur
hood. The other was about 5-
foot-7 with a blue jacket and blue
bandanna.
Johnson case hearing
still ‘awhile’ away
PICKERING —The City’s
solicitor says it’s going to be
“awhile” before a court hears the
Township of Uxbridge’s case
against Regional Councillor Rick
Johnson and the City of Picker-
ing, or Coun. Johnson’s counter-
suit.
“Various preliminary matters
have to be (dealt with) first,” ex-
plained John Reble in an inter-
view Thursday.
“I don’t know when (the mat-
ters will be before a court), but it
will be awhile.”
Uxbridge is suing Coun.
Johnson and the City in regards
to roads the councillor bulldozed
to a landlocked piece of property
he owns on Uxbridge Pickering
Town Line.
After the city passed a mo-
tion directing Coun. Johnson to
return the roads to their original
state, Coun. Johnson filed suit
against the City and Uxbridge,
claiming the roads are an
opened road allowance left in
disrepair.
Mr. Reble said both lawsuits
are “intermingled”, but could not
provide a timeline for when the
preliminary matters would be
handled or when the courts
would hear the cases.

Police find weapon,
biker gang colours
in washroom trash
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
PICKERING ––A 29-
year-old Oshawa man who
police say is a member of a
Hells Angels affiliate gang
has been charged with pulling
a gun on one patron at a Pick-
ering strip club and pistol-
whipping another Monday
night.
Durham Regional Police
surrounded the Palace East
on Dillingham Road after a
report of an “armed person”
at 6:10 p.m.
Police said a man who was
wearing a vest with outlaw
biker colours approached a
34-year-old patron in the bar
and accused him of staring at
him.
“It’s alleged the suspect
pulled out a gun, shoved it in
the victim’s stomach and in-
timidated him,” said Sergeant
Paul Malik, police
spokesman.
After the incident the vic-
tim left the bar and called po-
lice.
Tactical officers surround-
ed the club and, through staff,
requested patrons leave.
Police stopped and ques-
tioned patrons as they were
leaving and came across a 42-
year-old man with a bleeding
cut over his eye, Sgt. Malik
said.
He said investigation de-
termined the man had been
struck in the face with a
handgun in a separate alterca-
tion in the bar involving the
same suspect.
Police arrested a man as he
exited the bar, Sgt. Malik
said.
Police found a handgun,
ammunition and vest with an
outlaw biker gang patch in
the garbage in the ladies’
washroom during a police
search.

29, of Nonquon Road, has

Durham trustees
approve school plan
ber the board approved the
$39-million secondary por-
tion, including an expansion
of Dunbarton High School.
Valley View Public
School parents waged a de-
termined battle to keep the
rural school open and suc-
ceeded. But parent Karen
Wianecki, who led the
charge, rejected the sugges-
tion parents had scored a
victory.
“I never really felt it was
about winning or losing, in
my mind it was about doing
the right thing,” she said. “I
think they’ve crafted a plan
that represents collaborative
problem solving.”
A professional planner,
Ms. Wianecki argued the
board’s planning process
was short-sighted in not
considering the growth
planned for and anticipated
in the Greenwood area.
The only other Pickering
elementary school affected
by the plan,Valley Farm, re-
ceived the 10-room addition
originally called for by staff.
However it will now be built
roughly two years later, for
2004, and school communi-
ty council (SCC) chairman
John Kehoe said he’s taking
nothing for granted.
“I refuse to believe this is
ironclad,” he said, fearing
the delay may jeopardize the
planned 10 rooms, which he
termed the school’s mini-
mum requirement.
“We’re going to keep the
pressure on and watch the
budget and the costs.”
Pickering’s two trustees
supported the bid to keep
Valley View open.
Pickering Trustee Jen-
nifer Bridge said “there are
wonderful things coming
out of this plan and there are
also shortcomings.”
Much of the plan re-
mained unchanged from the
draft version.
Oshawa receives a new
elementary school, while
Ajax gets two. Also in Ajax,
Lakeside and Alexander
Graham Bell public schools
are to get 10- and eight-
room additions, respective-
ly, and Lord Durham and
Parkside public schools will
close, as recommended by
staff, with students to be ac-
commodated at a converted
Exeter High School. But the
$3-million Exeter conver-
sion budget becomes $2 mil-
lion.
Whitby’s Colonel J.E.
Farewell Public School is to
get an eight-room addition.
Brock-Uxbridge Trustee
Nancy Loraine and Ajax
Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Mar-
ilyn Crawford voted against
the plan.

Double trouble
for criminals
When Wes was a victim of layoffs
about a year ago, he began considering
a career in policing, and Wayne was of
equal mind.
“When I was a little boy I always
thought about policing, both of us did. I
decided (to apply as a police officer)
first, and Wayne jumped in,” says Wes,
the ‘older’twin.
“If you really break our lives down,
we’ve done everything together; same
schools, same jobs, same friends, we
even have the same taste in cars. We’ve
never really been apart. It wasn’t
planned, we’re just close. We’ve always
been best friends, for better or worse.”
Wayne adds, “We’ve just had the
same interests all our lives. We’ve been
together our whole existence.”
In their uniforms or plain clothes,
the pair are virtually mirror images.
Only a sharp eye or close friends and
family members can tell them apart,
which has led to some confusion and a
few laughs around the police station.
Wes is assigned to Whitby’s 18 Di-
vision, while Wayne works out of 17
Division in Oshawa. When Wes was re-
cently assigned to the Reduce Impaired
Driving Everywhere (RIDE) team,
based in Oshawa over the holidays, he
arrived at the station one night to start
his shift just as Wayne’s ended.
Colleagues stared bewildered at
Wes, thinking it was Wayne beginning
yet another shift. On another occasion,
when Whitby was short staffed, Wayne
was assigned for one shift to his broth-
er’s station to fill the void. Needless to
say, there were a few perplexed faces.
“Few can tell the difference when
we’re walking around the stations,”
says Wayne.
They not only share physical traits,
they dress in the same style of clothes
and share similar personalities. During
an interview at police headquarters, the
brothers often complete each other’s
sentences. There are a few subtle differ-
ences, however, such as height and
weight. At 6-foot-3 Wayne is about one
inch taller and 10 pounds lighter. Acad-
emically, both were strong, though
Wayne scored “two or three” marks
higher; each excelled at writing and was
weak in math. Wes is slightly more ath-
letic, though both played minor hockey
and are competitive water skiers.
While their parents “didn’t make a
big deal” about it, the novelty of being
identical twins has always attracted a
fair bit of attention, not that they mind
the double takes, along with the pres-
sure of constant comparisons, they say.
“Who’s taller, who’s thinner, smarter
or whatever, everyone compares you.
We help each other, push each other to
make the other better,” says Wes.
Emotionally, they share a sublime
connection, the Kings say, sharing the
instinctive mutual ability to know when
something is wrong with the other.
“It’s a bigger connection than most
people, just a gut feeling. If Wayne is
having problems or I’m having trou-
bles, it’s a joint problem,” says Wes.

New school zone
signs, pedestrian signals
being considered
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The Region of
Durham is considering two new pro-
grams to make crossing the road a little
safer.
The Durham works committee is
recommending the Region begin the
manufacturing and installation of new
fluorescent yellow-green school cross-
ing signs to replace the traditional blue
and white signs posted across the re-
gion.
“The fluorescent yellow-green signs
have been proliferating across the
province in various municipalities,” said
Tony Prevedal, Durham’s traffic manag-
er. “They are much more visible than
the traditional blue and white signs so
we hope that will help with the identifi-
cation of the school zone. Our neigh-
bour to the west, the City of Toronto, is
converting all its signs, as are other mu-
nicipalities. We’ve been under pressure
to consider so we decided to go that
route. Most of our area municipalities
have wanted to go that route.”
The signs have become common in
the United States and are now approved
by the Transportation Association of
Canada. However, Mr. Prevedal said
there are no studies demonstrating any
“quantifiable improvement” in safety.
Still, the signs are believed to provide
better visibility in low-light conditions
and seem to be the standard for an in-
creasing number of communities
throughout North America. The cost to
manufacture the 300 signs for Region
roads is expected to be about $35,000.
At the same time, the works depart-
ment is proceeding with another pro-
gram to introduce a new pedestrian
street signal at three pilot intersections.
The new signal counts down the re-
maining time left to cross the street be-
fore the lights turn red. The countdown
signal will be set up on a trial basis at
three intersections: Thickson Road at
the Wal-Mart Plaza entrance in Whitby,
Hwy. 2 at Glenanna Road in Pickering
and Harwood Avenue at Kings Crescent
in Ajax.
Flaherty lists past
goodies for region,
adds more are on the way
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM —The provincial gov-
ernment has been good to Durham Re-
gion and there is more money on the
way, promises Finance Minister Jim
Flaherty.
In a pre-budget consultation yester-
day at Durham College that focused on
post-secondary education, Mr. Flaherty
said the future of the region is “bril-
liant”. With his mention of $382 million
in capital projects “through SuperBuild
that is ongoing or on the way to Durham
Region” but not yet announced, the au-
dience’s attention was rapt.
“From 1985 through 1995 this Re-
gion didn’t fare all that well,” said Mr.
Flaherty, also Whitby-Ajax MPP, of the
decade before his government took of-
fice. While promising a third balanced
budget in 2002, the contender for the
leadership of the Conservative party re-
minded the small gathering his govern-
ment is extending Hwy. 407 to Hwy.
115, building new Hwy. 401 inter-
changes in the Ajax area, establishing a
cancer centre at Lakeridge Health Os-
hawa and granting university status to
Durham College.
“We are in a time of slower econom-
ic growth,” he admitted, but added a $1-
billion reserve fund will allow him to
balance the next provincial budget. Mr.
Flaherty blamed “substantial negative
effects” for sluggish revenues from casi-
nos and the tourism industry on the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks in the United States,
but maintained Durham Region’s future
looks good.
Calling Durham’s new university
“terrific”, he told members of the media
— who were allowed to sit in only very
briefly during the discussions with
members of the public — that high tu-
ition fees should not deter students.
“The best investment a young person
can make is in an education,” he said. “I
encourage students to invest. They will
be well-rewarded in their lives.”
Mr. Flaherty assured the media “On-
tario universities and colleges are ready
for the double cohort,” in September
2003 when those students in the current
five-year high school program, graduate
with the first pupils in the new four-year
curriculum. In a press release, Mr. Fla-
herty said the Province had spent $1 bil-
lion on colleges and universities through
SuperBuild in 1999/00, noting it was
“the single largest investment in a post-
secondary capital project in more than
30 years”.
He added his government has also
promised an increase in operational sup-
port for post-secondary institutions of
$293 million in the 2003/04 school year,
creating 73,000 new student spaces in
time for the double cohort.
The University of Ontario Institute of
Technology will be Durham first univer-
sity and the first in Ontario in 30 years.
As announced in the 2001 Ontario Bud-
get, the Province has already contributed
$60 million through SuperBuild to es-
tablish the school.
“We know students attending this
college now, soon to be a university, will
have jobs that don’t even exist (today),”
said Mr. Flaherty.

Stacey Harrington
before Hypnosis
My name is Stacey Harrington. I live with my husband,
Keith and our son, Bryce, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. We
attend Ascension Catholic Church. I am a homemaker and
a part-time bookkeeper.
This is my true story. I will tell you how I dropped 49
pounds in five short months. And how I made my
marriage sizzle. I’m sharing my story because I know that
if you are reading this, you may be feeling just as
miserable and desperate as I was only a year ago...
Virginia Beach, VA — “So when’s your baby due?” my
husband’s uncle asked, staring at my bulging stomach.
“I’m not expecting,” I said, my cheeks burning with
shame.
When I got home, I stared at my reflection in the
mirror. Tears streamed down my cheeks. It was true. I was
that fat.
“I couldn’t stop eating...”
I had become overweight during my first year of
college. I gained the ‘Freshman 15.’ My weight kept
adding on from there. In desperation, I started dieting. My
weight went up and down like a yo-yo.
On one of the national diet programs I finally lost some
of my weight for my wedding. I felt starved and
deprived. Once I stopped the program, I gained
my weight back plus more. I had tried every diet
imaginable and here I was at a disgusting weight
once again.
I was desperate. Yet I couldn’t stop eating. I
craved and binged. Every day I’d hide a sleeve of
chips in my desk drawer. I hid it for two reasons.
First, I was already so overweight, I didn’t want
people to see me scarfing down potato chips.
Secondly, I didn’t want to share them. I wanted
them all to myself!
Glimmer of Hope
I was impressed with Positive Changes
Hypnosis right off the bat. I watched a video and
paged through two huge books of testimonials. I
felt a glimmer of hope.
Choosing Positive Changes Hypnosis was the
best decision of my life. I lost my weight at an
average of 10 lbs. a month. 49 lbs. in all. When I
first started Positive Changes I was stretching
the seams on my size 16 jeans. I recently bought
my first pair of size 6’s. That’s when I knew I had
reached my goal. I cried tears of joy!
Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and fun!
Before hypnosis I stayed home all the time. I
didn’t want people to see me. My clothes were
too tight. I was lethargic. Now I’m out
and about all the time. My friends call me
an energizer bunny. I always have a smile
on my face.
Thanks to Positive Changes Hypnosis, I
get compliments daily. My mother
recently came to visit. Her jaw dropped
when she stepped off the plane. I saw an
old friend the other day. He barely recognized me. “Wow,”
he said. “How did you do it?” He was astounded when I told
him hypnosis.
The best compliment of all came from my husband. One
night he gazed into my eyes and said, “Stacey, I think you’re
the sexiest woman alive.” The best part was that I believed
him. I actually felt sexy. Our passion has been sizzling ever
since.
Success Happens
I would say Positive Changes Hypnosis was the smartest
investment of my life. I’m saving money every week because
I no longer crave junk food and fast food. Just a short year
ago I never would have believed it possible.
Don’t worry. They won’t pressure you. If they don’t think
hypnosis is right for you, they will tell you so.
So call now. If you’re like me, it will be the best decision
of your life.
“You’re The Sexiest
Woman Alive!”

PICKERING —Once again, six of
eight performance indicators set by On-
tario Power Generation (OPG) for the
Pickering Nuclear Generating Station
were either met or bettered.
The two targets not reached in No-
vember were the nuclear performance
index and the capability factor. It’s the
fourth consecutive month six indicators
were met or bettered.
The corporation releases the month-
ly ‘report card’in an attempt to make it-
self accountable
to the public.
Results were
as follows, for the
first 11 months of
2001, except for
measurements
that are quarterly,
as indicated:
• In an index
reflecting 11 in-
dustry standard
performance
measures set by
the World Associ-
ation of Nuclear
Operators (for the
third quarter of
2001) — 75.2 per
cent, worse than
OPG’s target of
76.8 per cent, and
short of the in-
dustry bench-
mark of 96 per
cent;
• Public safety
Levels 1 and 2
events reportable
to the Canadian
Nuclear Safety
Commission —
none, bettering
the year-to-date
target of four. A
Level 1 event is
‘highly signifi-
cant’ and a Level
2 event is ‘signif-
icant’;
• ‘Reactor
trips’ or the num-
ber of unplanned
automatic reactor
shutdowns per
7,000 hours —
0.96, better than
the OPG target
and industry stan-
dard of one;
• Capability
factor or the
amount of energy
capable of being
produced per
month as a per-
centage of perfect
performance —
73.6 per cent,
worse than the
OPG goal of 74.6
per cent;
• Radiation
dose to the public
from both the ‘A’
and ‘B’ stations
— 4.4 microsiev-
erts, an interna-
tional unit of
dose, bettering
the third quarterly
target of 7.5 and
well below the
regulatory limit
of 1,000;
• Major and
moderate pre-
ventable spills —
zero, meeting the
OPG goal of
zero;
• Industrial
safety accident
rate, the number
of accidents per
200,000 work
hours that result
in lost work time,
restricted-work
injuries or fatali-
ties. Pickering ‘A’
— 0.18 and Pick-
ering ‘B’ —
0.16,; and
• Accident
severity rate or
the number of days lost for injuries per
200,000 hours worked. Pickering ‘A’—
1.07 days and Pickering ‘B’ — 0.47
days.

Weapons charges laid against Oshawa man
harm.
He is also charged by police with
four counts of breach of recognizance
for allegedly violating the terms of
his release on other outstanding
charges including possession of co-
caine and ecstasy for the purpose of
trafficking and possession of a con-
cealed and prohibited weapon, brass
knuckles.
Police allege Mr. Parsons is a
member of the Crimson Few motor-
cycle gang, which they say is a pup-
pet club of the Hells Angels Oshawa
Chapter.
Officers have recently expressed
concern about the rapid growth of the
Hells Angels in the region and affili-
ated gangs working under their au-
thority.
Since the Hells Angels expanded
into Ontario and launched the Os-
hawa chapter just over a year ago -
through a “patch-over” of former
Satan’s Choice members - local gang
membership has doubled to 18 from
nine, police say.
Police have identified four
Durham-based puppet clubs –– mo-
torcycle and street gangs –– they say
are “sanctioned” by the Hells Angels
Oshawa chapter.
The 987s, Crimson Few, OGOC
(Original Gangsters Oshawa Clique)
and Fallen Ones have about 50 mem-
bers combined, Durham Regional Po-
lice say.

It’s hard to find

Pickering.
Especially good

OSHAWA ––A local developer wants to
build a new Durham Region headquarters on
the old Fittings property in the city’s down-
town.
Joseph Lanzino, who has an interest in the
28-acre property, intends to submit his bid to
the Region by Thursday’s deadline. The Re-
gion, debating the need for a new headquar-
ters, has requested proposals for a new
300,000-square-foot facility at an estimated
cost of $50 million, with an option for a
40,000-square-foot police headquarters.
“We will be putting in an expression of in-
terest,” said Oshawa architect Lennis Trotter,
who presented Mr. Lanzino’s proposal to Os-
hawa council Monday. “It would be an ideal
site for that facility.”
The vacant site is located on the southwest
corner of Bruce and Drew streets. Mr. Trotter
said the land could also house some residen-
tial/retail/commercial uses. Details, such as
bus service for the site, as required by the Re-
gion, and a road extension, can be worked out,
he said.
Even if the Region does not go ahead with
a new headquarters or if Mr. Lanzino’s pro-
posal isn’t chosen, the developer would con-
sider a residential/commercial/retail use for
the land, Mr. Trotter said.
“It’s right on the doorstep of the down-
town,” he said, adding any development there
could be a key to a rejuvenation of the nearby
residential neighbourhood.
When questioned about environmental
concerns of the old foundry site, Mr. Trotter
said an environmental cleanup has been done
but he’s not sure of the extent of the work, as
he’s not seen a final report.
Councillor Cathy Clarke, one of several
councillors who represent the downtown, at-
tempted to get council to endorse the propos-
al. However, her vote to introduce the last-
minute motion was lost for lack of support.
Regional council decided to look at the
possibility of a new headquarters in order to
save on costs of maintaining eight administra-
tive facilities plus the existing headquarters.
One of the facilities is located in downtown
Oshawa.
Durham’s finance commissioner Jim
Clapp has said the Region could eliminate
$3.9 million in annual leasing costs if it had
one larger building. He estimated the debt
cost of a new headquarters would be $4 mil-
lion a year.
Under the request for proposals, develop-
ers can submit proposals for a new building,
either on the existing site or elsewhere, or ex-
pand on the current headquarters.

School
shooting
suspect
gets bail
AJAX —A
16-year-old boy
arrested last
week after a gun-
shot was fired in
the crowded
lobby of Picker-
ing High School
was released yes-
terday on
$25,000 bail.
The youth,
who cannot be
identified under
the Young Of-
fenders Act, was
placed under vir-
tual house arrest
by justice of the
peace Brenna
Brown, who or-
dered the boy to
remain under 24-
hour supervision
by his parents
and two aunts
who were ap-
proved as
sureties.
Among the
terms of his re-
lease, the youth
cannot possess
firearms, knives,
ammunition or
other weapons
and must remain
away from Pick-
ering High
School. In addi-
tion, he must re-
main in his resi-
dence at all times
except if he
leaves in the
company of his
sureties, and can-
not communicate
with any witness-
es in the case.
He is charged
with carrying a
concealed
weapon, unau-
thorized posses-
sion of a prohib-
ited weapon,
careless use of a
firearm, point
firearm and
weapons danger-
ous.
During the
contested bail
hearing Tuesday
afternoon in Os-
hawa court, Jus-
tice Brown ruled
the Crown had
not shown cause
of why the teen,
who police say is
a student at the
school, should be
detained.
The 16-year-
old was taken
into custody last
Friday, shortly
after lunch-hour
gunplay at the
Church Street
school. Durham
Regional Police
arrested him at a
home a few
blocks away from
the school, locat-
ed in Pickering
Village.
No one was
hurt and the bul-
let struck a steel
entrance door.
Detective
Sergeant Peter
Naumienko said
police are still
probing the cir-
cumstances that
led to the shoot-
ing and are trying
to trace the ori-
gins of a sawed-
off rifle found in
the basement of
the youth’s home.

Premier Mike Harris is taking a
pummelling from his friends, but
there’s not much he can do about
it.
The Progressive Conservative
premier has announced he will
step down as soon as his party
chooses a new leader and the can-
didates to succeed him are now
tumbling over each other to say he
already had lost his way.
The critics have been led by
Environment Minister Elizabeth
Witmer, who said the party and
people are looking for a new vi-
sion.
Ms. Witmer, who held three
major cabinet posts under Mr.
Harris, praised the premier’s
Common Sense Revolution pro-
grams for doing what was needed
in building a stronger economic
foundation and initiating reforms
in health care and education.
But she said the revolution is
over and the province and party
need a different approach, style
and tone of leadership that will
reach out to and work collabora-
tively with people.
Mr. Harris personally and some
ministers under him have been
noted for getting into and almost
relishing bitter confrontations,
particularly with teachers, nurses
and other unionists.
Ms. Witmer said the Tories also
have to listen more to ordinary
people and involve them in their
decision-making.
She warned if the Tories pro-
vide only “more of the same”,
they will not win an election, due
likely in 2003.
Mr. Harris has not shown any
marked desire to change his style
in recent months and claimed that,
although he is down in the polls,
he could have stayed and won an-
other election.
Labour Minister Chris Stock-
well, another candidate for leader,
said “every successful revolution
has a beginning, a middle and an
end, and this is the end.”
Mr. Stockwell said the Tories,
who brought in fundamental
changes to the school system as
casually as if they were handing
out new supplies of pencils,
should avoid more for at least two
years.
He added the Tories should
also give more say to ordinary
MPPs in their party, which can be
seen as a slap at Mr. Harris, who
often did not consult them when
drawing up major new policies.
Health Minister Tony Clement,
who is on the party’s right and a
political soulmate of Mr. Harris,
has said nonetheless the Tories in
the last two years have lost their
former close connection to resi-
dents.
Mr. Clement said this has to be
fixed before they can win the next
election and has set off on what he
calls his ‘Reconnection Tour’, on
which he says he will listen to
people and act on what he hears.
Even former finance minister
Ernie Eves, the only candidate
from outside the legislature and
the premier’s closest friend among
the contenders, said the Harris
government’s controversial plan
to give tax credits to parents of
children in private schools is ludi-
crous, because it does not require
the institutions to meet the
Province’s basic curriculum stan-
dards.
Mr. Eves was trying to hit most
at the fifth candidate, current Fi-
nance Minister Jim Flaherty, who
has become his most bitter com-
petitor and is the plan’s main au-
thor. But Mr. Harris, in the end, is
responsible for it.
The candidates’ criticisms are
more severe than in past cam-
paigns to succeed a leader who
also is premier and usually is left
to bask in praise.
They now feel a new sense of
freedom and empowerment be-
cause Mr. Harris never permitted
any dissent in his cabinet and re-
quired it always to speak with one
voice.
They also feel there is some
justice because they are able to put
forward their own views after hav-
ing many policies dictated to them
over the years by a small clique in
Mr. Harris’s office.
Mr. Harris is still premier and
technically has the power to fire or
otherwise rebuke any minister
who offends him.
But now the race is on so any
overt move he made to chastise an
outspoken candidate would be
seen as meddling in the leadership
process. That’s something an out-
going premier should avoid —
even when he gets called passé
and yesterday’s man.
Premier candidates dump on Harris
Group of five trying to distance themselves from yesterday’s man
He may have made his name battling for ‘the ordinary
Canadian’ from coast to coast, but Ed Broadbent grew up
and learned about life in the heart of Durham Region.
The 65-year-old former New Democratic Party leader,
who some say is the best prime minister Canada never had,
received this country’s highest honour Tuesday. His eleva-
tion to the companion of the Order of Canada — only 165
living Canadians can hold the title of CC at any one time —
caps a lifetime devoted to the cause of social justice.
Mr. Broadbent’s long political career as member of Par-
liament for Oshawa-Whitby and then Oshawa, stretched
from 1968 to 1989. As NDP leader from 1975-89, he en-
joyed some memorable election battles and TV debates with
first Pierre Trudeau and Joe Clark and later Brian Mulroney
and John Turner. Many believe Mr. Broadbent, a brilliant
speaker and fierce proponent of his beliefs, bested his Lib-
eral and Progressive Conservative rivals before the cameras.
His last speech in Parliament was typical of his reasons
for going to Ottawa in the first place. He moved that the fed-
eral government pledge to end child poverty by 2000. While
all in the House of Commons backed that motion, succes-
sive governments have failed to make a dent in a problem
that has only worsened since 1989. That rankles Mr. Broad-
bent.
The Durham native went on to head up the Montreal-
based Centre for Human Rights and has served as a profes-
sor at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and
Queen’s in Kingston.
He still speaks up on occasion. In November 2000 and
2001 — to coincide with the anniversary of his 1989 motion
— he raised the issue of inaction on child poverty. In his
most recent position as co-chairman of the Canadian
Democracy and Corporate Accountability Commission, he
has argued passionately that businesses show social respon-
sibility balanced against profit-making.
Even those who don’t share his political views agree Mr.
Broadbent has made the improvement of Canada his life’s
work. Such passionate, intelligent, committed people are
rare indeed. His nomination to companion of the Order of
Canada is confirmation of his devotion to justice for those
who need it most.
The urge to get outside and embrace the great outdoors
during a Canadian winter resides deeply within all of us.
Some choose the thrill of alpine skiing or the big air that
goes with snowboarding. Others prefer cross-country trails or,
perhaps, motorized fun on a snowmobile or all-terrain vehi-
cle.
Still others like to keep it simple: Strapping on a comfort-
able pair of old skates and heading to an outdoor rink made
by Mother Nature.
The unseasonably mild weather experienced by Ajax and
Pickering residents this winter season, however, brings im-
portant safety issues to bear in mind before we venture onto
Duffins Creek Marsh in Ajax, for example, or Frenchman’s
Bay in Pickering.
Both are perennially popular winter attractions for young
and old alike to take part in a game of shinny, or to go for a
leisurely skate with a friend or family member.
Before you venture out in the coming days, check with
local fire department officials to see if conditions are safe.
Also, check with other experts about making necessary
preparations and what to bring to provide assistance in case
there’s an emergency.
Listen closely — and regularly — to weather forecasts and
satisfy yourself that the ice is thick enough to support surface
activity.
When you do venture out, wrap scarves tightly, pull tuques
firmly down over ears, cover hands with thick mitts or warm
gloves and take a few extra precautions before engaging in
your important winter fun.
Canadian winters offer us a host of opportunities. Take a
few minutes to ensure your safety before you hit the neigh-
bourhood pond. Don’t let that opportunity become a tragedy.

Common sense
has only begun
To the editor:
I would like your readers to con-
sider the following debt informa-
tion as they consider who would be
the best leader for Ontario. (All fig-
ures are billions of dollars).
Our federal debt is 547, British
Columbia’s is 24.9,Alberta’s is 8.2,
Saskatchewan sits at 7.004, Mani-
toba is 14.1,Ontario is 110,Quebec
comes in at 81.7, Prince Edward Is-
land is 1.001, New Brunswick is
6.8, Nova Scotia is 12.8, and New-
foundland is 7.03. The total provin-
cial and federal debt is over $800
billion. Our Gross Domestic Prod-
uct is estimated to be $1.56 trillion.
We in Ontario have the shortest
school year and day in the industri-
alized world. Our health-care sys-
tem is still on the verge of floun-
dering and will not survive without
us realizing we already have a two-
, maybe even three-tiered system.
With a provincial tax reduction
of 34 per cent, we increased rev-
enue by 35 per cent but still man-
aged to add $13 billion to our
provincial debt. The so-called
Common Sense Revolution has
merely launched an idea, scratched
the surface, and begun to discuss
the issues of the economic, social
and political problems that face this
province and country.
The work to be done has just
started. Those politicians who say
it’s done lack wisdom and courage.
Liam Venner
Homeless need
everyone’s help
To the editor:
I was watching television re-
cently and there was a middle-aged
homeless man talking about the
fact two homeless people have al-
ready died this winter. He was
upset and on the verge of tears. He
was pleading for our help and that
is the reason I decided to write this
letter.
I agree with him wholehearted-
ly; it is time we started doing more.
I, too, am appalled at the lack of en-
ergy and work being put into help-
ing the homeless. Yes, we should be
doing something to help those in
Afghanistan, but how about those
here at home? They are fighting
their own war — against hunger,
discrimination, cold and humilia-
tion that most feel for letting them-
selves and their families down.
It’s necessary to remind people
that the majority of homeless peo-
ple are dealing with mental illness,
addiction and abuse. Nobody wants
to live on the streets, no one would
ask for this lifestyle.
Let’s try and keep this in mind
the next time we go to spend $5 on
coffee. Instead, bring one from
home and spend those five bucks
on buying a homeless person a
meal.
For anyone who would like to
help the homeless on an informal
basis with no commitment, please
e-mail me at:
bluepeach187@yahoo.com.

Jaywalking
needs attention
To the editor:
May I ask why I have never seen
a police presence trying to deter the
extremely dangerous jaywalking
that has become endemic in the re-
gion of the intersection of Kingston
and Whites roads?
Motorists are just not ready for
pedestrians popping up in the mid-
dle of busy roadways and I fear
something terrible may happen be-
fore long.
Perhaps one of your readers
may have the solutions to my ques-
tion. I’m afraid I do not.

U of T, Ajax campus
It was 1945, the war was over and the ammunition plant
in Ajax had been shut down. Following an announce-
ment the government would pay any veteran’s al-
lowance and tuition for a period equal to that served in
the forces, the University of Toronto needed space to ac-
commodate the deluge of registrations. The buildings
and dormitories at the Ajax site were leased and the fac-
ulty of applied science and engineering was created.
From 1946 to 1948 the campus had an enrolment of
7,307 students. The students above walk along a board-
walk and below steam pipes left over from the plant.

Fireplaces - Have your chimney inspected by a professional
prior to the start of every heating season and cleaned if
necessary. Creosote, a chemical substance that forms when
wood burns, builds up in chimneys and can cause a chimney
fire if not removed through cleaning. Always protect your
home and your family by using a sturdy fireplace screen when
burning fires. Remember to burn only wood - never burn paper
or pine boughs, which can float out the chimney and ignite
your roof or a neighboring home. Do not use flammable
liquids in a fireplace. If you are purchasing a factory-built
fireplace, select one listed by a testing laboratory, and have it
installed according to local codes. If you decorate your
fireplace with
Christmas stockings or other seasonal
decorations, don’t burn fires in it.

HAVE YOU LICENCED YOUR PET???
Male or female dog or cat $25.00
Male or female dog or cat with microchip implant $20.00
The City of Pickering has now commenced a door-to-door campaign promoting the sale of 2002 dog and cat licences. The City representative should present
proper identification to you. They are not Animal Control Officers and have no authority to fine you for failure to licence. They will, however, provide information
to the City on all residents refusing to licence their pets.
CAT OWNERS should note that City of Pickering By-law 5728/00 requires all cats to be
licenced and leashed when off the owner’s property.
DOG OWNERS should note that the same By-law prohibits the keeping of more than
two dogs in any one household.
Dogs and cats are important members of your family. Animal licences identify your pets and
ensure that, should they become lost, they can be returned to their rightful home.
A SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO KEEP YOUR PET SAFE!
REGISTRATION FEES
Pursuant to City of Pickering By-law 5728/00, all dog and cat owners must register their pets on a yearly basis. You could be charged if you fail to purchase the
required licence. Yearly fees are as follows:

Close loss ends Panthers’
unbeaten streak
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —The Pickering
Boyer Pontiac Panthers league unbeaten
string was halted at eight games after a
disappointing loss to the first-place
Wexford Raiders in Toronto Sunday
night.
Wexford’s Josh Cameron scored
after a rebound squirted loose from the
grasp of goaltender Scott Gray at the
11:56 mark of the third period to sink
the Panthers 3-2 in OHA Ontario
Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League
action. It was the juniors’ first league
loss in more than a month.
The Panthers did, however, manage
to salvage a split of their weekend ice
activities after posting a 7-6 victory over
the last-place Ajax Axemen at the Pick-
ering Recreation Complex Friday night.
The Panthers (16-18-5-2 for 39
points) continue to hold down fourth
place in the nine-team South Confer-
ence standings, four points better than
the fifth-place Thornhill Rattlers, who
have five games in hand on the Panthers.
Most disappointing about the loss to
Wexford, noted Panthers’ head coach
Bill Purcell, was that his charges played
an outstanding game, matching the
Raiders’intensity for more than two pe-
riods of play, before Wexford cashed in
for the lone goal of the third period.
“We played as well as they did and I
think we outplayed them in the second
period,” said Purcell.
The Panthers played the Raiders
with a dearth of defencemen. Rear-
guards Alex Pavloski (back) and Dan
McNeill (wrist) were out of the lineup
with injuries, meaning the club started
the game with only four defencemen.
The ice time afforded to veteran rear-
guards Alex Greig and all-star Kyle
Aitken went up significantly, but they
responded with solid outings.
After Wexford opened up a two-goal
lead in the opening 20 minutes, Picker-
ing responded in the second to knot the
game at 2-2.
Mike Hanna and Mike Alexiou, with
a brilliant solo effort, scored for Picker-
ing. Dan Schofield and Garett Winder
drew assists.
The Panthers and Axemen suited up
for another pitched battle between the
neighbouring teams, with the Panthers
holding off a late Ajax charge to post the
high-scoring victory.
Pickering led 7-4 late in the third pe-
riod before Ajax connected for two
goals, one on the power play. Pickering
led 3-2 after the first stanza and 6-4 after
two.
Winder led scoring with a hat trick.
Schofield,Alexiou, Paul McFarland and
Pavloski netted the others. Assisting
were Hanna with three, Schofield and
Aitken each with two, Sean Bradley and
Scott Mitchell.

Eight is enough
Aeros hit wall
of Lightning
Telus earns first-ever point against
women’s hockey powerhouse
DURHAM —The Telus Lightning can check off at least
one item from their New Year’s resolution list.
The National Women’s Hockey League club did what has
only been done four other times this season, playing the
perennial powerhouse Beatrice Aeros (14-0-5 for 33 points)
to a tie — a 5-5 draw. Moreover, the Lightning (2-10-8 for 12
points) accomplished the Herculean task in the Aeros’ own
rink — the Beatrice Ice Gardens in Toronto.
The confidence gained from the big tie spilled over on to
home ice at the Ajax Community Centre as Telus posted a 2-
1 victory over the rival Brampton Thunder.
The tie may be the most significant step in the young
three-year history of the Lightning franchise. Telus has, for
the most part, not come within a country mile of the storied
Beatrice team that continues to serve as a fertile training
ground for national team players and has won countless
provincial and national women’s titles over the years.
“This was the first time we’ve ever taken a point from the
Aeros since we’ve been around the last three years,” noted
Telus head coach Don Henwood. “It was just hard work right
from the beginning. It was a full team effort.”
Alas, the Lightning couldn’t put together a full, three-pe-
riod effort, allowing the Aeros to get back in the game with a
subpar second period by Telus that proved to be the differ-
ence in possibly handing Beatrice its first defeat this season.
The Lightning jumped out to a quick three-goal lead on
the Aeros. Captain Erin Rourke scored first-period goals
from Sarah Reid and Natalie Babony and then from Babony
and Christianne Tremills. Babony completed Telus’ first-pe-
riod scoring with help from Rourke and Reid.
The Lightning let the Aeros off the hook in the second pe-
riod as Beatrice regrouped to score four unanswered goals to
take a 4-3 lead to the intermission.
Henwood said in many ways, the determined mood of the
players between periods was the turning point.
“Everyone in the dressing room said it was unacceptable
to lose this game,” he said. “They all discussed how they
were not going to lose.”
The Lightning came out fired up in the third, scoring the
tying goal three minutes in. Andrea Babony scored, assisted
by Jessica Allen and Mirjam Baechler. Five minutes later,
Reid put the Lightning in front, assisted by Natalie Babony
and Rourke. Unfortunately, Telus couldn’t hold the lead.
With four minutes remaining in the game, the Aeros knotted
the score.
Goaltender Jenn Piitz was outstanding, turning away 36
shots. Telus responded with 19 shots.
Newly converted defenceman Melissa Taylor stood up to
the Aeros’ big forwards and Jessica Allen, back from a
lengthy stint on the injury list, stymied a 2-on-1 Beatrice
break late in the game.
In a tight-checking game against Brampton, Reid’s goal
late in the second period held up as the winner as neither
team could add to its total in the final frame. Linemates
Rourke and Natalie Babony assisted. Katie Quinn opened the
scoring for Telus at 6:46 of the second period, assisted by
Tremills.
Piitz stopped 21 shots as did Ajax resident Stacy Kellough
in the Thunder net.

Pickering outscores opposition
26-0 to win Port Hope,
Scarborough tourneys
PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers
major atom select hockey team entered tourna-
ments in Scarborough and Port Hope over the
Christmas holidays, winning both in impressive
fashion.
The Panthers’ were dominant at both tour-
neys, recording shutouts in all six games, while
scoring a whopping 26 goals.
The atoms recorded a 3-0 win over Thornhill
to win the 26th annual Cedar Hill Christmas Hol-
iday Tournament in Scarborough. Eric
Bartholomew led the way with two goals, while
Zack MacLennan notched the other. Eddie
Smith, Andrew McCann, Nigel Fleming, Matt
Savage, Galen Sleeth and Kyle Kinsman record-
ed assists.
Pickering started the event with an impressive
8-0 win over West Hill. Savage, MacLennan, Jeff
Paul, Matt Fowler, McCann, Andrew Nauth,
Brian Forrester and Kevin Montgomery scored.
Savage recorded two assists, with Montgomery,
McCann, Paul, MacLennan, Smith and Sleeth
adding one apiece.
In a much tougher second game, Pickering
emerged with a 1-0 victory over local rival Ajax
Knights. Bartholomew scored, assisted by Flem-
ing.
The second tournament conquest for the
atoms was at the Port Hope Invitational Atom Se-
lect Tournament.
The Panthers played familiar foe, Ajax, in the
final, posting a 3-0 win. Paul, Fowler and Mc-
Cann scored for Pickering, with assists to Sleeth
and Paul.
In the first game, the Panthers coasted to an
11-0 win over Markham. Montgomery led the
way with four goals. Other scorers were Savage,
Sleeth, MacLennan, Paul, Bartholomew, Fowler
and Spencer Etherington. Richard Doherty, Paul,
Fleming and Etherington each contributed two
assists. Savage, Michael Gilbert, goaltender An-
drew Monaco, Forrester, Bartholomew, and
Kinsman all had one.
The second game featured outstanding goal-
tending and tight defensive play by the Panthers
and the host Port Hope team. The two sides
wound up settling for a scoreless draw.
Pickering goaltenders Monaco and Derrick
Herdsman were superb in all games and defence-
man Nick Accettone was strong on the blue-line.
Head coach Bruce Kinsman said a strong
work ethic combined with great goaltending
were the reasons behind the success. Kinsman’s
assistants are Daryl MacLennan and Dave
Bartholomew. The trainer is Doug Paul. Mike
Montgomery is the manager and Bob Forrester is
the treasurer.
In their first league game after the tourna-
ments Pickering recorded another shutout, de-
feating Whitby 2-0 on Jan. 4. Scoring were
Etherington and McCann. Paul picked up an as-
sist.

DURHAM –– Rainy days and
Louis Prima’s greatest hits spinning
on the record player linger as this
blues musician’s introduction to his
passion.
In the midst of releasing his third
CD, Dave Glover’s mother returned
to him the scratched vinyl LP from
his childhood.
Big Daddy G brings blues fans on
Jan. 25 ‘Blue Sound,’ a “high-ener-
gy” live album. The release is fol-
lowed by a string of shows across
Ontario and a gig in Oshawa at the
Banshee, 50 Taunton Rd. E., on Sat-
urday, Feb. 16.
The band, made up of Glover on
electric guitar, lead singer Tortoise
Blue on harmonica, bass player
Wayne Deadder and drummer Ted
Peacock, is known in Durham for its
performances at the now-closed Di-
neseez on King Street.
“We’re pretty well-known for our
live show,” says Glover, who’s from
Whitby.
“We’re high-energy and wanted to
do a live recording.”
The guitarist grew up listening to
his mother’s Nat King Cole and Tony
Bennett albums and became attached
to his guitar at age 14. He played in
southern rock and blues bands during
his teenage days growing up in Scar-
borough.
He hooked up with Tortoise Blue
while recording his first album, ‘4
Blues,’ in 1998.
Two years later they recorded
‘Topless,’ a mainly-original collec-
tion, written by Glover and Tortoise
Blue.
‘Topless’ got them nominated for
a 2001 Juno award for best blues
recording.

Durham artist Big Daddy G releases live CD
Stecyk sings for
spiritual rebirth
Ajax woman one
of 16 ghostly
characters in
Toronto stage
production
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
AJAX —After three
weeks of intense rehearsals,
the curtain has gone up for
an Ajax woman treading the
boards in her most ambi-
tious live theatrical work to
date.
Actress-singer Fran Ste-
cyk is among the 21-voice
ensemble cast of the innov-
ative new two-act musical
‘The Dance of the Dead’ at
Toronto’s Berkeley Street
Theatre.
A mainstay on local
stages, including lead roles
in three Herongate Barn
Dinner Theatre productions
and numerous community
theatre efforts, Stecyk has
taken the natural next step
into the realm of profession-
al theatre. In the most chal-
lenging test of her vocal
abilities, Stecyk plays Pene-
lope Perficity, one of the 16-
member ghostly chorus in
the Toronto production,
dubbed ‘a dark musical
comedy’.
Written by Scott White
and directed by Vinetta
Strombergs, ‘The Dance of
the Dead’ kicked off at a
special preview Thursday,
Jan. 10. Although a hint of
nervous energy was in the
air, Stecyk notes the debut,
the kickoff to the musical’s
three-week run at the vener-
able Toronto stage, went ex-
tremely well.
“We were just thrilled,”
says the mother of two.
“There were a couple of
glitches, but I think that was
because everyone was really
excited. It was our first au-
dience and most times you
could hear a pin drop as the
people were so engrossed in
what was going on.”
The modern musical fol-
lows the plight of Edward
Sorrows, a troubled teenag-
er planning to commit sui-
cide in a cemetery.
On his fated night of
death, Edward encounters a
band of ghosts with their
own problems and promises
his soul to the one who can
best show him they deserve
to live again.
Interestingly, ‘The
Dance of the Dead’ is also
an experiment in live sur-
round-sound. The chorus
members — including Ste-
cyk — are placed within the
audience in a move de-
signed to push the bound-
aries of how an audience ex-
periences live theatre.
“I believe it’s the first
show of its kind. I’ve not
heard of any other produc-
tions (with a chorus in the
audience). It’s a totally dif-
ference experience walking
into the audience and sitting
in a chair and singing. It’s a
very exciting experiment —
and you get to enjoy the
show as well,” she notes.
Stecyk says it’s been a
thoroughly rewarding expe-
rience sharing the stage
with a talented cast of
singers and actors, many of
whom have worked in tele-
vision and movies in addi-
tion to live theatre.
“Everyone has made me
feel quite at home,” she
says. “Some of the cast
members are younger, but
we all relate very well to
one another. This is ab-
solutely a highlight for me.
I’ve enjoyed every play I’ve
ever worked in and it seems
to be getting better. I’m
making new friends and
meeting new people. Hav-
ing this on a resume will
hopefully open new doors
for me.”
Stecyk auditioned for the
production last September
after finding out about the
open casting call via the In-
ternet. After the initial audi-
tion, she received a callback
where she performed with a
group of eight singers in
front of White. Soon after
her second audition, she
was chosen for her part.
Her foray into the Toron-
to theatre scene has given
Stecyk the impetus to find
more suitable roles for her
in the city. Toward that end,
she’s looking for an agent to
hunt down more audition
opportunities for her.
“It’s an eye-opening ex-
perience. There are a lot of
people out there to compete
against,” she says.
‘The Dance of the Dead’
runs until Jan. 26, 2002 up-
stairs at Berkeley,
CanStage, 26 Berkeley St.
Monday through Saturday
performances are at 8 p.m.
There are also matinee per-

PERCIVAL, Eerik Plinte - December 29, 1985
- January 13, 2002. Suddenly and unexpect-

you are now experiencing the simplicity and
peace and happiness that you desired. May
God rest your soul. Dearly beloved son, sorely

GASOLINE, PREMIUM OR REGULAR?
The octane level
The octane level indicates what is the antiknock value of a particular gasoline. The knock (or detonation) happens when the fuel ignites at the wrong time or too quickly due to an overheated combustion chamber. Imagine a
short-fuse firecracker. It could blast in your fingers before you have time to throw it. That’s about what can happen inside an engine, and the pistons will be damaged. So additives are mixed in with the gasoline to control its
combustion, and to increase its antiknock value. To determine the octane level of a certain gasoline we compare a sample of it wit a sample of a reference gasoline called octane – or iso-octane – which has a very low rate of
detonation and a given value of 100. Gasoline is generally classified as follows:
• “Regular” at 87 • “Medium” at 89 • “Premium” at 91 or more
What about fuel economy?
In a high-powered or turbocharged engine (mostly found in sports cars) the gasoline injected in the cylinders is put under intense pressure and temperature. With a low octane level, the gasoline may ignite early and cause a
vibration that generates a metallic sound called “ping”. We must prevent this spontaneous combustion of the gas-air mixture to happen before the spark is produced by the sparkplug, because this could damage the engine. In
this instance we have to use a fuel with a higher octane level (“premium,” that is an octane level of 91 or more).
Most cars come with engines designed to run on “regular” gasoline (octane level 87). These engines do not compress the gas-air mixture as much as the high-powered engines. So it serves no purpose to fill up our car with
“premium” when the engine does not require it, since it is the fuel’s heating attributes (combustion heat), and not its octane level, that determines its power efficiency.
