Campaign raises more
than $1.5 million for
community groups
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
PICKERING —For the
second consecutive year, the
communities of Ajax and Pick-
ering dug deep to push the
United Way past its goal.
At a wrap-up dance attend-
ed by about 200 people Satur-
day at the Pickering Recreation
Complex, the organization an-
nounced it surpassed its 2001
target of $1.5 million by
$50,000.
“We’re very pleased,” said
organization executive director
Edna Klazek. “We felt it would
be a very difficult year for us.
Some of our core companies
were doing layoffs. And, one
moved and one closed.”
On top of that, “two days
after we launched the cam-
paign, Sept. 11 happened,” she
added.
But, those terrorist attacks
on the United States “served to
show how important” it is to
have an agency like the United
Way, Ms. Klazek said.
In 2000, the goal was $1.35
million, but $1.425 million was
raised.
Ms. Klazek praised the vol-
unteers and campaign team for
its “tireless” work in helping

area residents took to the hills with sleds, snowboards and snow saucers. Here, Jessi
Mooy holds on tight as little brother Zachary gains a bit of altitude on the hills behind
St. Patrick Catholic School. The hill was packed with sledding enthusiasts, despite bit-
terly cold temperatures and gusty winds.

Improv teams make something out of nothing
Side-SMITting
fun awaits as
students prepare for
upcoming games
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Meeting
in the school drama room, the
students of SMIT (St. Mary
Improv Team) were filled to
the brim with energy yesterday
and nowhere near short of en-
thusiasm.
They were practising for the
quarter-finals of the Canadian
Improv Games, and will con-
tinue preparations with an ex-
hibition tomorrow (Thursday)
at their Catholic secondary
school, St. Mary. Starting at
7:30 p.m., the exhibition gives
teams — there will be schools
from Durham and Markham —
a chance to get ready for the
main event, also at St. Mary,
running Thursday, Feb. 28 to
March 2. This marks the first
time the games have come to
the ‘Sizzling Bojangles’ zone,
also known as the ‘Eastern
Zone’category, which includes
Durham Region.
“You have to have energy. If
you don’t have energy, you
can’t be on the team,” said
coach Anastasia Lainas-Hay-
ward, who teaches drama and
English at St. Mary.
She noted maintaining a
high tempo is mandatory in
maintaining the creative and
entertainment aspect that
makes improvisation fun to
watch. However, the craft re-
quires more than just energy.
“They have to be able to lis-
ten to each other really well,”
explained Lainas-Hayward,
adding team members have to
be as “subtle as possible” in
conveying the ideas and
themes in their skits.
So what, exactly, is improv?
In many drama classes, it is
used as a warm-up activity for
the actors, who perform a
scene without using a script,
making it up as they go along.
Lately it has become a compet-
itive sport and popular source
of entertainment, especially
with television shows like
‘Who’s Line is it Anyway?’
Each team competing in the

Return public transit cash to sender
Pickering wants
Region to forward
City’s share of
funding for buses
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City
councillors want their transit
dollars back — and if they
don’t get them, residents could
be facing a six-per cent tax
hike just to keep the local
buses running.
Council unanimously sup-
ported a resolution from the
Ajax Pickering Transit Author-
ity (APTA) board, calling for
Pickering and the Town of
Ajax to “aggressively pursue”
their share of almost $10 mil-
lion in GO Transit funding
being returned to the Region.
The provincial government an-
nounced last September it was
taking back responsibility for
GO and sending back the
money, which had been sent to
the now-defunct Greater
Toronto Services Board.
“We’re asking Durham Re-
gion to return the money and
we’re not alone,” Regional
Councillor and APTA board
co-chairman Maurice Brenner
told council Monday night,
adding similar calls have come
from Clarington and Oshawa
in Durham, Brampton and
Mississauga in Peel, and
Burlington in Halton.
“Without the money being
rightfully returned, the City
could be faced with a six-per
cent tax levy alone for transit
operation.”
He noted that while the City
is a transit provider, the Region
currently is not, and just look-
ing at the possibility of a re-
gional transit system is not a
good enough reason to hold
back the GO transit money.
A staff report on the APTA
resolution states Durham
levied property taxes of ap-
proximately $11.5 million for
GO Transit in 2001, of which
$10 million was not required
for that purpose.

AJAX —A 22-year-old
man wanted after a woman
was badly beaten Jan. 23,
turned himself in to Durham
Regional Police detectives on
the weekend.
An arrest warrant had been
issued after the 19-year-old
woman went to pick up some
belongings at her ex-
boyfriend’s Large Crescent
residence.
The attack occurred on the
front yard and was stopped by
a neighbour, who intervened.
A man drove off in a car that
struck the neighbour, police
said. The woman was treated at
hospital for head injuries and
released.
Gregory Obi Eze, of Large
Crescent, has been charged
with aggravated assault, as-
sault causing bodily harm, as-
sault to resist arrest, assault
with a weapon and dangerous
driving. He was detained pend-
ing a bail hearing.
See TEAMS page A4
DURHAM —Durham’s
public school board has received
$410,000 from the Education
Ministry to develop 41 distance
learning professional develop-
ment programs for educators.
The money will come from
the ministry’s innovation fund
for distance learning.
The Durham District School
Board applied for the funding in
partnership with the Thames Val-
ley and Lakehead district school
boards, the Dufferin Peel
Catholic District School Board
and the York University faculty
of education field office depart-
ment. Module topics include
teaching split grades, teaching
online, conflict resolution and
creative thinking skills. The
board must complete the mod-
ules by the end of next month.
They then must be approved by
the Ontario College of Teachers’
professional learning program.
All the modules will eventu-
ally be offered to Durham and
other educators through the pro-
fessional training division of the
Durham Virtual Campus.
Bid to bring
policy presentation
to trustees defeated
DURHAM —Pickering
Trustee Paul Crawford can’t
kick the smoking habit — talk-
ing about the issue of student
smoking, that is.
Durham District School
Board trustees at Monday’s
standing committee meeting
voted 6-4 against having a pre-
sentation for trustees on smok-
ing prevention, a policy and the
issue’s health effects, in
essence saying, enough is
enough.
Three years ago, trustees
voted against Trustee Craw-
ford’s motion that the board
send a letter to the Province
asking that the government
make smoking illegal for
young people on public streets.
A board committee was even-
tually set up to look at what
could be done to discourage to-
bacco use by teenagers. The
committee was to work on a
letter to the Province drafted by
Trustee Crawford, but ultimate-
ly decided the issue was not
within the board’s mandate.
On Monday night, when
trustees suggested they had al-
ready dealt with the issue in the
past, Trustee Crawford said it
was “not a bad thing” to focus
on it every few years.
“I don’t want to spend time
beating a hobby horse,” Whitby
Trustee Doug Ross said at the
meeting, asking for a vote. “I
think we have more important
things to do.”
‘Olympics’
competition puts
junior Durham
students to the test
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
AJAX —Ryan May wasn’t
surprised the egg didn’t break.
A Grade 4 student at Eliza-
beth B. Phin, he and his team
from the Pickering public
school had just seen their in-
vention in action. Using straws
to cushion an egg in a plastic
bag, and with a parachute to
slow its descent, they watched
as the egg survived a fall from
a tall ladder.
“When we felt it, it felt
good and we tried to see if it
would break and it wouldn’t,”
Ryan said of testing the inven-
tion.
Ajax and Pickering students
put science to the test Wednes-
day at the Durham Regional
Science Olympics, held at
Lakeside Public School in
Ajax.
“My teacher actually
thought of me because I’m re-
ally good at science,” said
Ryan, explaining how he was
chosen to represent his school.
He likes science because
“you get to invent things and
it’s cool to see how they
work.”
The invention’s success
earned E.B Phin a perfect 50
out of 50 mark in the egg drop
part of the competition.
Lorraine Schroetter, science
program facilitator for the
Durham District School
Board, said “it’s absolutely
critical” for students to practi-
cally apply what they have
learned in class.
She said each of the six
events was scored either ac-
cording to time or, like the egg
drop, success.
“We tried to build in com-
petitive elements as well as co-
operative elements,” Ms.
Schroetter explained. “It mir-
rors the world outside of the
classroom.”
Teams had to be co-ed and
include Grade 4, 5 and 6
pupils. The students are usual-
ly chosen to take part in the
Olympics after events at their
home schools.
At sail away, the goal was
to make the fastest sailboat,
using Styrofoam, tin foil, card-
board, Plasticene and Popsicle
sticks. The boats sailed down a
trough filled with water, with
an electric fan providing wind
power.
Pickering’s Sir John A.
Macdonald Public School
team of Melissa Downton
(Grade 6), Grade 5s Lawrence
Davidson and Brittney Heath-
wood and Grade 4 pupil Blake
Cluff was confident after a
trial run time of nine seconds.
“We’re perfect,” Blake said,
indicating the team would not
take advantage of the chance
to make any changes to their
boat.
When the practice runs
were over, and it was for real,
their craft repeated the nine-
second run. The boat from the
Valley Farm Public School
team in Pickering did it in 10
seconds. Sir John A.’s second
run was clocked at 10 seconds,
but the Valley Farm boat
slowed at the end of the trough
for a 17-second, second run
and the Sir John A. team won.
Valerie Bowler was one of
the York University teaching
students who took the opportu-
nity to see what the Olympics
were all about so they could
run it next year. Her station
was called ‘adapt a bird’.
“They have to create a bird
and decide where it’s going to
live and what it’s going to
need to survive in that habitat,”
she explained.
Students were given paper,
pipe cleaners, pinecones, Sty-
rofoam, felt, glue, straws, con-
struction paper and tape for the
job that had to be finished in
40 minutes. Before the build-
ing began, the students worked
together to decide where their
bird would live, what it would
look like and why.
Lakeside team member
Lauren Wharton helped make
a bird that earned a 50 out of
50.
“It lives in Australia, it has
long legs to run fast, and it has
sharp claws to dig in the sand
for food and defend itself from
predators,” she explained.
Ms. Bowler pointed out the
students even gave their bird
long lashes to protect its eyes
from all the sand flying around
when it’s digging.
The Olympics also took
place at the Education Centre
in Whitby for Oshawa and
Whitby students, and at R.H.
Cornish Public School in Port
Perry for north Durham stu-
dents.
The final standings at the
Lakeside event saw the ‘A’
team from Pickering’s West-
creek Public School take first
place, followed by Sir John A.
and E.B. Phin.

ITER - International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The world is in dire
need of cleaner, safer, more affordable energy - and an important solution may
be “fusion research”, which is the purpose of Iter.
The selection of Durham Region
as the site for a huge experimental
fusion energy research centre will result
in $12 BILLION of investment here, 30,000
person-years of employment, and will
dwarf the Olympics in its impact of
needed goods and services. After the
R&D facility is built by thousands of
tradespersons, a bout 1,000 people,
including 250 leading scientists and 600
research technologists, will work at Iter.
Iter’s goal is to bring the world
closer to supplying a safe, affordable,
more environmentally friendly, and
inexhaustible world wide fuel source for
rich and poor countries for centuries to
come. Our children, and grandchildren
deserve a cleaner, more stable planet
than they are in danger of inheriting.
On March 1st, Metroland
Durham Region newspapers will be
publishing a very special “We Want ITER”
section to be delivered to over 200,000
residences in Durham Region and
Northumberland County. Another 5,000
copies of this section will be taken to
Tokyo, Japan where it will accompany
ITER Canada’s contingent to be used in
final negotiations for their bid.
ITER Canada is in the final leg of
its quest to be chosen as the host site for
this huge initiative. LET’S SHOW OUR

Valley View P.S. plans
for a student boom
DURHAM —Valley View Public
School parent Karen Wianecki, on
Monday night, thanked the Durham
District School Board for not closing
the school and said the community is
committed to boosting enrolment.
The facility was identified for clo-
sure in the first draft of the board’s re-
cent system-wide accommodation and
school improvement plan.
That sparked a determined effort by
the community to save Valley View, lo-
cated in Greenwood, which is in north
Pickering. The approved plan retained
Valley View.
“We do intend to move forward
with integrity to honour the commit-
ment we made to you,” Ms. Wianecki
said at the standing committee meet-
ing, referring to efforts to increase the
student population.
She said the school’s community
council now has an enrolment strategy
subcommittee.
School newsletters are being pre-
pared for local nursery schools and a
recent advertisement invited parents to
consider Valley View for their chil-
dren’s education.
The school community later this
month will hold an informal evening
of celebration.
Workshop puts focus on local youth
AJAX —Developing a vision for
the future of youth in Ajax and Picker-
ing is one of the aims of a workshop this
weekend.
Hosted by the United Way of Ajax-
Pickering, the workshop is for youths,
parents, service providers, community
leaders and anyone interested in youth
issues.
The aim is to incorporate the
thoughts and hopes of young people and
adults to improve the quality of life in
the community. The workshop is at the
McLean Community Centre, Westney
Road North and Magill Drive, in Ajax,
on Saturday, Feb. 9 from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. It’s free, but those attending must
register. Lunch will be provided.

games acts out five categories repre-
senting the different aspects of drama:
story, character, style, theme and sin-
cerity. The teams are awarded points
for how well they perform in each. For
example, in the theme category, stu-
dents are given a topic and must come
up with as many ideas to show the au-
dience the topic without actually say-
ing what it is. Once they have the idea,
they only have 15 seconds to brain-
storm.
“Everything has to be quick, quick,
quick,” said Adam Cawley, a Grade 12
student, explaining the need and im-
portance of fast, independent thinking.
This is Cawley’s first year with SMIT.
“I love it. I look forward to it all the
time. All my friends are here.”
“There’s nothing like the improv
games,” added Grade 12 SMIT mem-
ber Jose Silva. Even though many of
his teammates would like to pursue
some area of drama down the road,
Silva participates for the sport. “Out-
side of (improv) I don’t want to act, I
just like the competition.”
The team members add there are
benefits to improvising that extend
outside the drama room. It offers a
more satirical outlook on life, and
helps build teamwork, they said. When
Kyle Hamilton joined in Grade 10, he
described himself as a shy person.
Now in Grade 12, he’s much different.
“It’s given me confidence,” said
Hamilton. “I’m more outgoing, I’m
not as nervous.”
If successful in the quarter-finals —
seven teams will be at St. Mary —
SMIT moves on to Toronto for region-
al competition and the winners there
head to Ottawa for the national finals.
Last year, SMIT finished second in
Toronto before placing 10th at the na-
tionals. The other team members are
James Rivera, Julie Ross, Trevor
Small, Ingrid Nugent, Pat Crandles
and Skylar Petrovich.

ter-final are $5 and can be purchased at

the organization pass its
goal again. Curtis Weems,
chief executive officer and
president of CDA Industries
in Pickering, was the fund-
raising campaign chairman.
As to the key to success,
Ms. Klazek surmised, “I
think people are really start-
ing to be aware the commu-
nity dynamics are changing
and they need to send
money home.”
She also praised Ontario
Power Generation employ-
ees, who contributed
$145,000.
“It helped
take us over the
top.”
Ms. Klazek
spoke highly of
the “wonderfully
generous compa-
nies in the towns.
We’re growing
and we need
their support.”
A new initia-
tive, the back-
pack program,
provides chil-
dren in need with
school supplies.
The program,
held in conjunc-
tion with the
Pickering Town
Centre, high-
lights the ongo-
ing issue of child
poverty, she said.
“It’s great to
give toys at
Christmas, but
child poverty is
all-year round,”
Ms. Klazek
noted.
Another new
initiative is a
youth workshop
being held this
weekend at the
McLean Com-
munity Centre in
Ajax. A facilita-
tor will lead a
discussion with
those providing
services to
youth, young
people and par-
ents, hoping to
find solutions
surrounding
youth, Ms.
Klazek said.
Some of the
extra money
raised this year
will also be used to help the
proposed women’s shelter
for west Durham.
“We hope the women’s
shelter will show up one
day. We want to help get it
up and going. We recognize
the need for a shelter,” she
added.
There are a number of
other needs to look at too,
Ms. Klazek said.
“We’re diverse. With di-
versity, there are chal-
lenges. Agencies need sup-
port,” she stated.

What is going on with the tire industry?
There used to be a time when tires were
chosen based on their size alone. But
today, you almost need to be an automotive expert
just to buy them. What’s going on?
For sure, the tire market is not what it used to be.
Today, it seems that buyers are being told that they
should only focus on the tire’s capabilities and be
willing to pay the price, no matter how high it may
be.
But with such a wide range of “performance” or
“specialty” tires, it is no surprise that many buyers
get confused. So you can’t blame people for just
looking for the best possible price and getting out
of the store as quickly as possible.
But this can be a huge mistake. While we can all
understand the urge to spend as little as possible on
tires, you should instead focus on getting the best
value for your dollar. This might mean spending a
little bit more for tires that will offer better road
handling, better breaking and a longer lifespan.
If you are like most people and find the choices a
bit overwhelming, don’t be afraid to go to your
local tire shop and ask a lot of questions. The
technicians who work there will be able
recommend the best tires for both your vehicle and
your budget. And if the price catches you off guard,
think twice before saying no. It could be that the
recommended tire is of a much higher quality than
you expect.
Q: Is it worth paying more for high quality tires?
A:High quality
tires cost more
initially, but they
always turn out
to be an
affordable
choice over the
long run.

Group helps find SerenityCity wants its share of transit money
ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo
Ajax-Pickering Transit Authority mechanic Chris Papaconstantinov changes a cooling sys-
tem hose as Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner looks on. The City is demanding the re-
turn of its share of GO transit money sent back to the Region by the provincial government.
Holland expressed concern the Re-
gion could be playing a shell game
with the money, hoping to use it for
purposes other than transit.
“(The Region) is saying there’s no
new money there,” he said. “But,
they’re looking at ways to use the
money that’s not for transit at all... it
concerns me that they’re shuffling
shells and claiming the money isn’t
there.”
Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan
suggested it would be illegal for the
Region to keep the money if it is not
spending it on GO Transit.
“In the private sector it’s called
fraud or extortion, take your pick,” he
said at the meeting, after being told
by City staff that, without approval of
local councils, the Region has no au-
thority to levy taxes for which it has
no mandate.
The APTA current and capital bud-
get for 2002 is expected to be in the
range of $7.5 million and the transit
board figures a 5.67-per cent increase
in Pickering and a 3.66-per cent hike
in Ajax would be needed to keep tran-
sit operational.
However, they are resolved to
working out a new budget plan once
they hear word from the Region and
the Province, where they’ve applied
for merger related funding.
Coun. Brenner confirmed Tuesday
a Region transit task force has sup-
ported the GO transit levy being re-
turned to municipalities.
The matter goes before the Re-
gion’s finance and administration
committee today (Wednesday) after
which it is expected to be before
Durham council Wednesday, Feb. 13.

Proud members of
Hang it up if you’re planning to drive.
The need for a law banning the use of cellphones while dri-
ving has never been more clear than after the recent horrific
crash in Maryland that saw four retirees from Quebec killed.
The quartet died after a driver talking on a cellphone lost con-
trol of her vehicle, which jumped a guardrail and landed on
the snowbirds, who were travelling south to Florida.
This sad incident comes after the death of a Pickering man
and his child who were struck last year by a train at a railway
crossing while the driver was talking on a cellphone. A coro-
ner’s inquest into those deaths is expected in the near future.
The Ontario government can play a role in helping keep
our provincial roads safer. All it has to do is pass Durham
MPP John O’Toole’s private member’s bill, introduced last
May, which would ban the use of cellphones, laptop comput-
ers and fax machines while driving. Note the bill does not
completely ban such machines from vehicles but only pro-
hibits their use while vehicles are in motion. Such a bill an-
swers concerns by those who wish to carry cellphones for use
in automobile emergencies.
Cellphone regulations for vehicles are also under consid-
eration in Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec. The use is
banned in New York State as well as in a number of countries
including Portugal, Israel, Sweden, Australia and Brazil.
Clearly, the use of cellphones while driving is considered a
major distraction and one that can cause danger on our road-
ways.
The National Safety Council, the United States organiza-
tion that rules on all safety issues in America, sees cellphone
use while driving as a major problem. “A driver’s first re-
sponsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle and that best
practice is not to use such a device while driving.”
For his part, Mr. O’Toole is eager to see his bill passed.
“I believe my private member’s bill would save lives, pre-
vent injuries and encourage all drivers to keep their mind on
the road,” he said. “On a personal note, as a commuter who
travels Hwy. 401 almost every day, I see too many examples
of distracted driving. I strongly believe this legislation is need-
ed.”
It takes all a driver’s concentration to travel safely. Paying
attention to a cellphone conversation instead of traffic can
prove deadly. Bring on the legislation.

Please, eat the
crow and save
Pickering from
airport mistake
To the editor:
Re: ‘MP’s plans land in Picker-
ing,’Jan. 23.
Of course federal Transport
Minister David Collenette is
going to keep the Pickering air-
port ball bouncing.
If he doesn’t, someone is
going to come along and put the
blame squarely in the Liberals’
laps for having wasted hundreds
of millions of dollars over the
last 25 years. And then there are
the wasted millions upon mil-
lions in the next 10 to 15 years
during which he says we can ex-
pect to wait for something to
happen.
The whole thing is a joke and
we’re just lucky it wasn’t a big-
ger joke like the one in Montreal
called Mirabel.
The fact is the Liberals are
afraid to deal with this hornet’s
nest, as they should be. There is
no way a Liberal government can
fix this one without looking bad,
very bad.
I just pray they don’t build it
(the way they needlessly can-
celled the helicopter deal) just so
they don’t eat crow.

Follow act’s
intention and
take proper turn
at intersection
To the editor:
Re: ‘Stop right there! Right of
way isn’t always so clear,’ letter
to the editor, Jan. 27.
I certainly hope I do not find
myself behind Jil McIntosh when
she is waiting to make a left turn
onto a through highway with
non-stop rush-hour traffic at the
stop sign opposite. Please make
your turn if you were there first.
Nowhere in the Highway Traf-
fic Act of Ontario does it say you
have to wait for all traffic going
straight to pass before you make
your turn.
“Sec. 116(1)(b) Every driver
or streetcar operator approaching
a stop sign at an intersection,
shall yield the right of way to
traffic in the intersection or ap-
proaching the intersection on an-
other highway so closely that to
proceed would constitute an im-
mediate hazard and, having so
yielded the right of way, may
proceed. “
You may enter the intersection
after making a full stop. The ve-
hicle on the other side must then
yield as you make your turn.
When everyone takes their
proper turn, traffic rolls along
very efficiently.

Time to let our
soldiers get on
with the job
To the editor:
Enough already!
The war in Afghanistan is just
that. Do we have to make our
boys call the prime minister
every time there is an altercation,
to get permission to do the job
for which they were trained?
How many phone calls were
made to Canada’s PM in the Sec-
ond World War for Dieppe, Nor-
mandy or VE Day to account for
their actions?
Hello.?
We have our best soldiers
there. Should our government
leave them alone to do their job
or bring them home?

a lot of harmless fun. I’m just
having a tough time adjusting to
them.
To begin with, I crash in the
buff. And while that may be way
too much information already for
some readers, it is of absolutely
no concern to the members of
my immediate family, who are
well-used to seeing dad parade
around in his birthday suit.
Throw into the mixture how-
ever, a seven- to 10-year-old
complete stranger, and you im-
mediately have issues. No longer
can I and my 41-year-old bladder
simply roll out of bed in the mid-
dle of the night for a stroll down
the hall to the bathroom.
A chance encounter with a
bleary-eyed youngster looking
for a glass of water could result
in years of therapy. For both of
us.
No, I have to be alert. With a
stayover in progress, getting out
of bed requires the mental acuity
to throw on a house robe or a
pair of boxer shorts, preferably
with a button fly. (I learned that
lesson the hard way. Thank God
it was cold that night.)
One’s sex life too, needs to be
greatly modified with the arrival
of the sleepover. I recall all too
vividly the evening when we had
as our guest a wonderful little
kid who was, his parents warned
us, frightened by thunderstorms.
That night, when the boys
were finally asleep, I made my
romantic intentions known to my
wife. She hesitated demurely,
stating it might not be safe with
the new boy staying over and a
storm brewing.
While I had to admit faint
rumbles of thunder could be
heard in the distance, I was not
about to let it dampen my ardour.
After all, I hadn’t vacuumed the
family room and put out the
garbage for nothing.
I explained to my wife I
would close all the windows and
drapes in the boys’room, as well
as their door. As long as the
storm remained in the distance
and she could refrain from her
usual cries of ‘Wahoo Toto!
We’re not in Kansas anymore!’
we should remain undisturbed.
Reluctantly, but gamely, she
agreed.
The child must’ve had the re-
flexes of a Ninja. For with the
first clap of thunder, which trag-
ically coincided with me round-
ing third, he was at our bedside,
anxiously asking to be taken
home.
Trying desperately to buy
some time while frantically con-
centrating on a combination of
algebraic equations and a mental
image of Eleanor Roosevelt, I
was unable to convince the poor
kid to go back to his room and
get his stuff ready.
He was rooted to the spot in
fear. Finally, after what seemed
like hours he slowly headed back
down the hallway, and I was able
to safely get up and get dressed.
All of this while Suzanne, se-
curely covered up to her chin,
laughed herself hoarse into a pil-
low. No, I don’t do well at sleep-
overs.
Strangers in the night get eyeful
Here’s the bare facts on preparing for young sleepover guests

St. Francis de Sales Church
Built in 1871, St. Francis de Sales Church, at 82 Church
St. S., was a community project with parishioners par-
ticipating extensively in the construction, which cost
$7,000. It is Victorian Gothic Revival in design and its
graceful spire is a landmark visible for kilometres in all
directions. The church is still used today and is desig-
nated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

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

licenced and leashed when off the owner’s property.

Dogs and cats are important members of your family. Animal licences identify your pets

Keeping your Family Safe
At Home
Right now over 40 million people in North America own and use one. It
takes only one minute and 43 seconds for it to ignite a piece of wood. One
minute and 17 seconds for it to light a piece of cardboard, 56 seconds for it
to burn a piece of paper, and only 24 seconds for it to burn through a t-shirt.
They are easily within reach of children and pets, and they often reach
temperatures of 970 degrees F.
It’s not an oven, or an iron. It’s not a barbeque or fireplace. It’s a lamp - a
halogen floor lamp, and to date, hundreds of fires and numerous deaths have
been caused by them.
Although safety devices in the form of a glass or wire guard over the bulb
have been implemented to reduce the potential fire hazard, the risk is still
too big to ignore. If you own a halogen lamp, remember these safety tips:
- Never place the lamp near curtains or other cloth window treatments.
- Never drape cloth over the lamp.
- Always keep the lamp away from bedding.
- Never leave the lamp on when you leave the room or are not at home.
- To reduce the chances of tip over, keep children and pets away
from the lamp.
- Only use a halogen bulb of 300 watts or less.
The best safety tip of all is simply not to purchase a halogen lamp,
especially if you have small children or pets. The number of fires and the
safety test results speak directly to the potential dangers of the lamps. You
can take steps to protect yourself and your family and you can do your part
to warn neighbours and friends of the hidden dangers of halogen lamps.

With 518 residential homes
in Pickering testing a ‘roll cart’
system, which is diverting 67
per cent of the waste, Pickering
residents will be sending less to
landfill than Ajax during this
trial period.
Since the program began in
November, over 52 tonnes of or-
ganics have been composted.
In October, before the pilot
system was under way, Picker-
ing, with its larger population,
sent 2,063 metric tonnes of
garbage to landfill and Ajacians
discarded a total of 1,840.
Later this year the blue box
program will be expanding to
take more recyclables.
You can obtain extra blue
boxes from Miller Waste
Durham on Squires Beach
Road. Use a separate blue box
or hamper for all household
paper. Also place glass separate-
ly from tins and No. 1 plastics.
Your recycling collector will be
thankful he does not have to
stand and sort in front of your
house.
Miller Waste receives many
calls from Ajax residents re-
garding collection inquiries.

DURHAM —General Mo-
tors of Canada started off the
new year in a big way.
The Oshawa-based automak-
er announced a 17.8-per cent in-
crease in car and truck sales in
January over the same month in
2001.
Car sales went up 22.6 per
cent to 20,452 while truck sales
jumped 12.8 per cent to 18,304.
“GM vehicle sales are siz-
zling,” said Dick Conlin, GM of
Canada’s vice-president of
sales, service and marketing.
“The momentum we built in
2001 has carried over into 2002.
January was a record for this
month’s truck sales, the best
January for cars since 1986 and
the best January for combined
vehicle sales in 22 years. We
could not be more thrilled with
January results.”
Mid-size, compact and econ-
omy cars were big sellers, with
a 27-per cent increase being
recorded over January 2001, he
said.
Oshawa-built cars are among
those models experiencing huge
sales increases. Sales of the
Chevrolet Impala increased
50.4 per cent last month while
Buick Century sales jumped
49.2 per cent.

WHITBY —
Durham’s

David Visser,
business super-

board sold the
last parcel of
land it owned
near the
Taunton Road

$350,000.
“It’s surplus
to our needs,”
he said last
week, adding
the buyer of the
4.1-acre site is
Mill Tree De-
velopments Inc.
The board at
one time owned
roughly 24
acres there.

Thornhill is Pickering’s
first-round playoff opponent
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —What’s known is this: the
Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers will go to battle
with the Thornhill Rattlers in the opening round of
the playoffs.
The question? Will the Panthers have enough
warriors as injuries have reached a critical mass
for the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey
League club?
The injury list is a long one for the Panthers
(19-22-5-2 for 45 points, fifth in South Conference
standings) who split last weekend’s games, drop-
ping a close 3-2 decision to the Rattlers in Thorn-
hill Saturday night and then posting a come-from-
behind home-ice 6-4 victory over the Couchiching
Terriers Sunday night. In both contests, the Picker-
ing roster was reduced to only three forward lines.
The latest to go down was rookie forward Paul
McFarland who suffered two cracked ribs and a
throat injury Sunday. Others out for the weekend
were Colin Jennings (elbow), Scott Oldfield
(shoulder, wrist) and Dan McNeill (flu). Returning
on the weekend after being injured were Alex
Pavloski (shoulder), Alex Greig (hip, back), Sean
Bradley (swollen eye), Mitch Hugli (mononucleo-
sis) and Dan Schofield (shoulder).
Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell noted the cur-
rent spate of injuries is nothing new for his squad
as it has suffered through an interminable series of
aches and pains throughout the season.
“It’s been like this all year. It’s so frustrating
trying to compete while so short-handed. There are
no guarantees any of the guys (who are injured) are
going to be back for the playoffs. We’re playing
now without a whole forward line,” said Purcell.
The injuries notwithstanding, Purcell feels the
Unexpected entry from Pickering
High claims first News Advertiser
Classic tournament crown
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING — The Pickering High School Tro-
jans weren’t supposed to be in the first News Adver-
tiser Classic senior boys’ basketball tournament last
weekend, let alone the final.
But, the Trojans — who also participated in the
Richmond Hill Invitational Basketball Tournament
the same weekend — made the most of their unex-
pected appearance at the eight-team Classic, upset-
ting the host St. Mary Catholic Secondary School
Monarchs 72-59 in the all-Durham Region gold-
medal final before a packed house Saturday night.
The Ajax school was a last-minute entry into the
Friday and Saturday competition, owing to two teams
— the Waterloo Collegiate Vikings and Glendale
Bears of Hamilton — dropping out due to weather
concerns Friday. The Dunbarton High School Spar-
tans also filled the void.
The Trojans were slow out of the gate against the
Monarchs, trailing 30-23 at halftime after leading by
one, 15-14, at the end of the first quarter. The Trojans
may have trailed by more if not for the hot shooting
of Navin Singh who nailed three three-pointers.
Pickering, however, tightened up considerably at
the defensive end in the second half, forcing the
Monarchs into numerous turnovers, while also exe-
cuting well on offence. The Trojans took a 43-42 lead
with 2:55 remaining in the third quarter and never
looked back. Pickering led 51-46 at the end of the
third and cruised to victory with a solid fourth quar-
ter.
Doing double duty with two tournaments on the
weekend, the Trojans were predictably a little weary
and sluggish to start the final, noted head coach Fin-
bar Strachan.
“Earlier in the game, we didn’t have our legs,”
said Strachan. “But, once we got them started we ran
the floor really well. When we’re not running the
floor, we’re not concentrating. Fortunately, Navin
Singh kept us in early until we did get our legs.”
The Trojans’ pressure defence in the second half,
said Strachan, paved the way to the victory. He sin-
gled out point guard Omar Green in particular.
“We stepped up our man-on-man defence and
(Green) led the charge. He’s normally in foul trouble,
but he played a good, solid game. We wouldn’t let
them get into their (offensive) sets,” he said.
Tournament most valuable player Jerome Forde
led the Trojans offensively with a 22-point effort.
Forde, however, downplayed his strong play, prefer-
ring instead to shine the spotlight on his teammates
for their contributions in the final.
“It’s all about teamwork, communication and
working together,” noted Forde, a guard/forward.
“Akiel John and Navin Singh were making the shots
for us and Ian (Wight) was hitting the boards for us.”
Monarchs head coach and tournament organizer
Mike Gordensky said his charges couldn’t find an an-
swer to the Trojans’stifling pressure in the last half.
“They stepped up defensively in the third quarter
and we stopped scoring and that’s how they came
back for sure. We stopped playing as a team in the
second half. Basically, we went down and they
stepped up,” explained Gordensky.
In addition to Forde’s 22 points, Green and John
each registered 14-point games for the Trojans. Singh
scored 12, all from three-point range.
Brendan Dehaney was St. Mary’s high scorer with
14 points. Jermaine Reid chipped in with 11, while
David Ferdinand and Kareem McLaren added nine
and eight, respectively.
To get to the championship game, the Trojans
blasted the Etobicoke Collegiate Rams 71-51 in the
first-round game. Forde led the way with 21 points.
In the semifinals, Pickering defeated the Lincoln
Alexander Lynx from Mississauga 77-61. Jason Jor-

CLASSIC RESULTS
The Blue
Devils did it
PICKERING —Durham Region
senior boys’ basketball teams couldn’t
quite make it a clean sweep at the
News Advertiser Classic tournament
last weekend.
The Dunbarton High School Spar-
tans — a last-minute entry to the tour-
nament — advanced to the consola-
tion championship before losing 67-60
to the Laurier Blue Devils from Scar-
borough.
The Pickering High School Trojans
won the championship crown with a
72-59 win over the host St. Mary
Catholic Secondary School Monarchs
in an all-Durham final.
Trailing 36-27 at halftime, Dunbar-
ton got back in the contest with a
strong third quarter, led by work on the
offensive and defensive boards by
Mike Filinski, to surge ahead 50-47.
In the final quarter, the teams were
tied 56-56 with four minutes to go and
60-60 with just more than a minute re-
maining. Laurier, however, made some
critical shots down the stretch and also
converted from the free throw stripe to
seal the Spartans’ fate.
Laurier coach Mike Quigley was
happy his seven-member team was
able to hold it together in the dying
minutes to grit out the victory.
“When they took the lead (in the
third quarter), a weak-minded team
would have let them run away with it,”
he said. “But, we have such a tough-
minded team.They’re playing really
well right now.”
Conversely, Dunbarton coach
Everton Clennon said his charges
were out of sync and are mired in a
slump both in tournament and league
play.
“The guys are really frustrated
right now,” he said. “We missed some
easy layups and we weren’t getting
back on defence quickly enough.
They’re not having a lot of fun right
now.”
Dunbarton’s Kemar Munroe led all
scorers with 33 points. Jasen Jones
led the Blue Devils with 26 points, fol-
lowed by Rasheedi McKenley with 16.
•••
In the bronze-medal game, the
Mother Teresa Titans of Scarborough
posted a 77-64 victory over the Lincoln
Alexander Lynx of Mississauga.
The Titans looked like they would
run away with the game early, jumping
in front 21-8 at the end of the first
quarter.The Lynx, however, tightened
up in the second quarter to trail 36-28
at halftime. Mother Teresa put the
game away following the break, mov-
ing in front 57-41 after three quarters.
Lincoln cut the deficit to eight with just
over four minutes remaining in the
game, but the Titans were equal to the
challenge and were easy winners.
Mother Teresa coach Jay McNeilly
said his team “played hard and well” to
earn the bronze.
“I think that the key was our re-
bounding both offensively and defen-
sively,” he said.
Jamie McNeilly scored 32 points to
lead the Titans. Nye Miller netted 16
for Lincoln Alexander.
•••
It was a win-win weekend for the
Pickering High School Trojans.The
Ajax senior boys’ hoops squad won not
only the News Advertiser Classic title,
but also captured the ‘Silver Division’ at
the Richmond Hill Invitational, defeat-
ing St. Marguerite d’Youville from Mis-
sissauga in the final.

Pickering-Thornhill playoff
matchup has the potential to be a
long and good one and he’s looking
forward to a grind-it-out series
against the defending OPJAHL
champs who represented Ontario at
the Royal Bank Cup (national tier 2
junior championship) last season.
“I expect a very tough series. We
know what they’ve got and we know
how they play. We just have to go
and play with them,” said Purcell.
But, before they can start the
first-round, best-of-seven playoff
series (series details weren’t avail-
able at the News Advertiser’s press
deadline), the Panthers will play a
makeup game tonight (Wednesday)
against the Wexford Raiders. The
game is at Don Beer Arena at 6:30
p.m.
A Thornhill loss to Oshawa
(played Tuesday in Oshawa after the
News Advertiser’s deadline) and a
Panthers’ win over Wexford
Wednesday will give Pickering
fourth place in the standings and
home-ice advantage in the first
round of the playoffs.
Sunday’s win over the Couchich-
ing Terriers (29-14-3-1 for 62
points, second in North Conference
standings), was a gritty performance
by the hosts who refused to lie down
after falling behind 2-0 in the first
period.
The Panthers responded with
three unanswered second-period
markers to take a 3-2 lead into the
final frame. The clubs then traded
goals before the Terriers tied the
score at 4-4 with two minutes re-
maining. The Panthers, however, re-
stored the lead on Ryan Taylor’s
goal 46 seconds later. Team captain
Garett Winder ended the scoring
with an empty-net marker with one
second remaining.
“I take my hat off to them,” said
Purcell of Sunday’s win. Something
we couldn’t do last year was beat
Couchiching. Couchiching needed
this win badly, but after falling be-
hind by two goals in the first period
we battled back to beat them.”
Other scorers were Mike Alex-
iou, with two, Hugli and Kyle
Aitken. Assisting were Aitken with
three, Schofield, Mike Hanna, Tay-
lor, Brent Chandler and Dave
Tonkin.
Two Thornhill power-play mark-
ers stood out as the turning point in
Saturday’s close loss. No scoring in-
formation was available.

Artist’s abstract style
offers different things
to different people
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —It’s not about
being understood for Joan Attersley,
rather, it’s about one’s own unique in-
terpretation.
Now in her late 60s, the Whitby
artist could be at the height of her cre-
ative peak. The Pickering Nuclear In-
formation Centre is the place to be for
her latest art display, ‘Let’s Face It’.
The 11 paintings, with a faces theme,
line the walls in their different and
unique abstract styles.
“I paint from inside,”Attersley said,
explaining her imaginative style,
which usually doesn’t include using
physical models. “Art is a great form
of expression for what’s going on in-
side you.”
Although there is one painting in
the display of an actual model, Atters-
ley’s work is mainly interpretive. The
paintings come with price tags — be-
tween $500 and $600 on average in
this particular collection — but money
and understanding isn’t what she’s
looking for.
“There’s not a lineup for what I do,”
Attersley said, mainly because her
work is so abstract. “Most people don’t
understand it or want it on their walls,”
though there is interest.
“Most people want everything ex-
plained; ‘here’s the cow, there’s the
tree...’ whereas in this I’m asking the
public to interpret what they think.”
She can remember growing up with
the smell of oil paint; her mother was
an artist, though Attersley never con-
sidered herself one. “I was always
somebody’s daughter, somebody’s
wife, somebody’s mother,” she said. It
wasn’t until around 15 years ago that
the wife of former Whitby mayor, Bob
Attersley, and mother of two found a
real passion for art, starting with wa-
tercolours.
From there, she evolved into more
diverse techniques.
The ‘Let’s Face It’ collection was
done using a mixed-media style,
blending watercolours, acrylic, pastels
and other types of paints to achieve the
final result. The experimentation used
in the work is a sign of Attersley’s will-
ingness to try new things, and the
theme is a sign of her social nature.
“I like people, and I enjoy meeting
a lot of people, new people, and I think
every face has a story to tell,” she said.
Attersley’s paintings have appeared
in art shows and galleries all over
Durham and the Greater Toronto Area,
including the Whitby Station Gallery,
the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Os-
hawa and the Frederick Horsman Var-
ley Gallery in Markham. The have won
her both acclaim and awards.
However, she expects her best work
is still to come.
“You always hope around the cor-
ner there’s going to be a huge break-
through,” she said.
‘Let’s Face It’, sponsored by the
PineRidge Arts Council, can be viewed
Monday to Friday, 9 to 4:30 p.m., until
March 15. The information centre is on
Montgomery Park Road, just west of
Brock Road.
