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!’ WHERE TO FIND IT Editorial Page/A6 Sports/B1 Entertainment/B3 Classified/B4 GIVE US A CALL General/905-683-5110 Distribution/905-683-5117 General FAX/905-683-7363 Death Notices/905-683-3005 Sincerely Yours 1-800-662-8423 durhamregion.com shouston@durhamregion.com PICKERING’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965 NEWS ADVERTISER Off to Infiniti Busy doing ‘The and beyond Dance of the Dead’ WHEELS/PULLOUT ENTERTAINMENT/B3 PRESSRUN 45,600 40 PAGES WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2002 OPTIONAL DELIVERY $6/ $1 NEWSSTAND Pickering school escapes the axe Parents packed the school board offices Monday night as Durham trustees approved a new accommodation plan.

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. The board’s second system- wide accommodation and school improvement plan cov- ers major capital projects over the next three years.

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. A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Durham Regional Police Constables Wes (left) and Wayne King share crime-fighting duties along with their genes. The identical twins, 27, were sworn in last August and now police the streets of Durham Region as uniformed officers. The Oshawa natives currently live in Ajax.

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. See DURHAM page A2 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. Michael David Parsons, 29, of Nonquon Road, has been charged with pointing a firearm, unauthorized posses- sion of a restricted weapon and assault causing bodily See WEAPONS page A4 P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 16, 2002 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. JENNIFER BRIDGE ‘Wonderful’things, and ‘shortcomings’. DURHAM from page A1 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.

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!” After Hypnosis Her Husband Said...

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. P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 16, 2002 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.

Especially good land like this. Opening January 26. Rodney’s Oyster Bar Jan. 17 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.

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.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. 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. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JANUARY 16, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com 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. Meaghan Newberry, Ajax 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.

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.

A/P PAGE A8 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 16, 2002 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.

The Panthers’ were dominant at both tour- neys, recording shutouts in all six games, while scoring a whopping 26 goals.

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.

BY NATALIE MILLER Staff Writer 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- formances on Wednesday and Saturday at 2 p.m. Tick- ets are $27 except for Mon- day pay-what-you-can per- formances.

Other club members who attended were Jeff Hannon, Jessica Ward, Sarah Wolch, Renata Zurokowsky and Erin Gordon. At York University, Christina Walsh swam to two first-place finish- es in the 100m back and 100m fly in the 11-and-under age group.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, January 16, 2002 PAGE B7 P Panthers dine on Wildcats Pickering peewees post wins over Whitby PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers Wayne Gretzky’s Studio 99/But’n’Ben Scottish Bakery major peewee ‘AA’ rep hockey team posted back-to-back wins over rival Whitby Wildcats to begin 2002. Pickering opened the two- game series with a 4-1 victory. Captain Brent Shearer and Chad Gaudet started the momentum, scoring second- period markers. Shearer and Ryan MacDonald scored in the third before Whitby notched its lone goal. Recording assists were Lee Morris and William Mitchell, each with two, Devon Tannahill and Ben Sawyer. Goaltender David Tomei played a strong game. In a much closer second game, the pee- wees held on for a 4-3 victory. Luke Cormier drew first blood followed by two consecutive markers by Mac- Donald in the second period. Whitby replied with two goals in the second, only to have Cormier score on a penalty shot to restore Pickering’s two- goal bulge. Whit- by scored once in the third period, but could get no closer. Recording assists were Mac- Donald with two, Tannahill, Mark Gertsakis, and Mark Burnett. Wesley Pritchard was solid be- tween the pipes. Other team members are Brandon Crum- mey, Daniel Prebble, Luke Moyer, Brian Darlow and James McCardle. Randy Preb- ble, Paul Burnett, Jim Crummey, Bob Cormier and Mario Tomei coach the team. The manager is Fil Tomei. Pickering Swim Club athletes earn multiple medals at big meets Panthers streak stopped at eight games Gray drew both starts.

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.
