A 16-year-old boy working at Pet Valu on Kingston Road was ap- proached by a man with a knife around 8:30 p.m., Durham Regional Police reported. The man demanded money and the clerk handed over a quantity of cash. The man then took off on foot and headed east. Sergeant Paul Malik said there were no cus- tomers in the store at the time. The man is described as white, 18- to 20-years-old and 5-foot-10 with a medium build. He was wearing a black hooded jacket, black pants, a black toque, and a black scarf covering his face. Those with information are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477. BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX —A significant hurdle has been cleared, paving the way for an emergency shelter in Ajax for abused women and children. The Town has agreed to sell a building and land to the Ajax-Pickering Women’s Centre for $620,000, which is $20,500 less than the municipality had the site appraised at. Durham Regional Police Detective Constable Cheryl Carter, president of the women’s centre, called the news, “excellent, wonder- ful, wonderful”. The centre had been caught in the middle of a dispute be- tween the Town and the police department over the site. The police had a lease with Ajax to use the building, at Westney Road and Harwood Avenue, for a station. But, during a reorganization several years ago, personnel were moved to the Pickering station, essentially leaving the building vacant. Before the Town would sell the building to the women’s centre, it want- ed compensation for rent from the police and assurances the police would open another station in Ajax. Mayor Steve Parish said a tentative agreement has been reached with the police to buy out the remaining five years of its lease and to open a new station in Ajax.

Provincial police said a car and sports utility vehicle were both eastbound on Hwy. 7 at Westney Road at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday when the driver of the car, a Saturn, refused to let a Nissan Pathfinder merge in front of him. When they reached a red light the Pathfinder pulled alongside the Saturn and the driver got out, Whitby OPP said. The man approached the Saturn, smashed the driver’s side window, breaking the side mirror, and assaulted the 24- year-old Brooklin driver while he was still sitting in his car, po- lice said. The man went back to his ve- hicle and drove away. The victim, who suf- fered minor injuries, fol- lowed the suspect and contacted police, who arrested the man a short time later. Mark Williams, 34, of Sandford Crescent, has been charged, OPP said. Witnesses are asked to call the Whitby OPP detachment at 668-3388.

BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering councillors are calling for changes to the provincial body originally designed as a check against “bad and biased planning” by municipalities. At Monday’s City council meeting, council- lors called the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) an ap- pointed body with no direct account- ability to the peo- ple of the province, adding instead of being the check it was originally intend- ed to be, it has grown into a body that may overturn sound planning decisions and re- shape communi- ties in a manner that is contrary to the community’s vision. City staff esti- mates Pickering spends $75,000 in an average year on OMB related matters and coun- cillors said there is an increasing trend of develop- ers appealing is- sues to the OMB before a munici- pal council even considers the mat- ter. “It’s a com- plete subversion of our democratic process,” ex- plained Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland. “When the NDP formed a government the OMB was anti- development and pro-social hous- ing. (The OMB members) simply reflect the views of the government of the day. Now that the Tories are in, the OMB has a pro-development agenda... This is the monster they’ve created. It circumvents the process of allow- ing communities to plan their own future and forces municipalities to spend millions of dollars just de- fending them- selves.” Council unani- mously supported a motion urging the Province to re- move, or at least radically reduce, the role of the OMB back to a pure check against bad or bi- ased planning. Coun. Holland said the Province cannot expect “smart growth” to occur in an environment where lo- cal planning and years of public input and de- bate can be overturned by an appointed body that often has little knowledge of the munici- palities whose future they are shaping. “We can’t have smart growth when we can’t plan our own communities,” said Coun. Holland. “The OMB has done a tremendous amount of damage and played a negative and damaging role in shaping our community... It was designed to be a check against bad or bi- ased planning, but what it has turned into is far beyond that.” A copy of council’s motion is being for- warded to Premier Mike Harris, local MPPs Janet Ecker and Jim Flaherty, and Dalton McGuinty, leader of the official Opposition.

But when a handicapped park- ing space is occupied by uncaring or lazy drivers, those who truly need and are entitled to these spaces are handicapped twice. Sometimes, I will sit in my car, usually near one of the most used entrances a local mall and near where handicapped parking spaces are available. I pass the time while waiting for my wife to return from her shopping and have noticed many drivers illegally using the handicap parking spaces. I would say approx- imately 50 per cent of the time they use these ‘special’ parking areas to satisfy their own needs. They drive into a space and place the handicap sign at the appropriate area on their instrument panel. Then they get out of their vehicle and walk without the aid of a cane, walker, etc., to the mall entrance. Quite often they are absent from their vehicles a long time before re- turning. I would think, to use the handicap-specified parking space properly, it would have to include the person who is handicapped. The spaces are larger by design to allow space for unloading or loading a wheelchair and to make it ready for the handicapped person. Please use your imagination for a moment and envision the frustration you would feel as a handicapped person. If you were handicapped and you saw someone was using the only special parking space available to you, you would be frustrated. So what if you carry a handicap sign to place on your instrument panel? Please keep in mind, this does not give you a licence to use the special parking space as your own handier place to park. It is against the law for you to park here, unless you are parking for a handi- capped person to either leave or enter your vehicle. The law for those who illegally park in a handicapped parking space is being changed, finally. The fine for this used to be $500 and now has been increased to $5,000. When the lazy, uncaring drivers become aware of this, the spaces should become very available for the right people. With the fine being higher, it would seem a concentrated effort to patrol these special parking facili- ties would produce revenue to sup- port the effort. Selfish motorists hamper handicapped drivers With higher fines, it’s time to use revenues to beef up patrols and crack down on offenders Safe energy policy best legacy for Kock To the editor: Re: ‘How about the Irene Kock Memorial Wind Turbine?’Steve Houston column, Jan. 20. I am the brother of Irene Kock, the re- spected anti-nuclear and environment ac- tivist who died in a car crash Dec. 31. Mr. Houston’s column is certainly written in an honest and generous spirit. The desire by many to find some way to mark the work of this formidable yet gentle warrior is much appreciated. Suggesting the lone Ontario Power Gen- eration (OPG) wind turbine at the Pickering nuclear plant be named in honour of Irene, however, misses the mark. It would be un- suited to Irene, even though she stood watch, like the tall turbine, over the aging and decrepit Pickering reactor to ensure safety came first. Always alert to window-dressing efforts, Irene was never impressed by the lone 1.8- megawatt turbine at Pickering. Its insignifi- cant contribution to OPG’s total energy out- put is an embarrassing .006 per cent. It is a failed attempt at diverting our attention from OPG’s fixation with the obsolete, risky, and infinitely more costly nuclear re- actors. Fifteen per cent of Denmark’s energy comes from wind, and that country employs 17,000 in the manufacture and export of half the world’s wind turbines. Canada’s total of 137 megawatts is a mere 2.25 per cent of Germany’s 6,100 megawatts of wind power. Irene’s vision of a nuclear-free future included fields and rooftops with these powerful, slow-moving propellers that do not harm birds. A substantial investment in conservation was also part of her green energy vision. Carbon taxes have been implemented in Finland, Germany, France, Britain, Norway, Switzerland, Holland and Denmark. Cana- da has no effective economic measures to discourage overuse of energy — in fact, it does the opposite. Let’s honour the memo- ry of my sister with an ‘Irene Kock safe en- ergy policy’, from which we can all benefit.

Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER FEBRUARY 8, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com It was a long time coming, but a major hurdle has been cleared in the quest to establish a women’s shelter in west Durham. Ajax officials, after months of delay, agreed this week to sell Town-owned land and pave the way for the new shelter, as- suming rezoning is approved. The decision comes at an opportune time as the coroner’s inquest into the murder of Pickering resident Gillian Hadley in June 2000 is expected to wrap up today with jury recommen- dation. This bold step by Ajax should help the community- based movement gain momentum as it works towards a long- held dream. A lot of people have put in a lot of hours in helping to es- tablish the centre. They include Ajax and Pickering officials, local women’s groups, Durham police and area residents. Their efforts, with some good planning and a bit of luck, should pay off with the development of the shelter. The site, in the former Ajax police station at Westney Road and Harwood Avenue, provides a perfect location and facility to house abused women in the community. And one is clearly needed in west Durham. Along with the Hadley murder and suicide of her estranged husband, Ralph, the area has dealt with a series of horrific cases in recent months. Last year, Marcia Harmon and her daughter, Danielle, were bludgeoned to death in their Pickering home by their husband and father, who died two days later in hospital. Two other cases are currently before the courts in which a spouse is accused of horrendous crimes against their mates. For better or worse, the Hadley case shone a spotlight on the issue of domestic abuse and prompted a groundswell of sup- port and activity to establish this shelter. This decision taken by Ajax shows, despite early delays, it is committed to providing long-term solutions. Other levels of government have also shown support for the plan, which should help move it along. Certainly, shelters provide important safe havens for bat- tered women and their children. But along with providing bricks and mortar, the community must also examine educa- tional and awareness initiatives to combat spousal abuse, and follow up on recent commitments by Ajax and Pickering politi- cians to lobby Durham Regional Police for the creation of a dedicated domestic violence unit. We may never eliminate domestic abuse, but ongoing efforts in the community can certainly mitigate the frequency and severity of it and, perhaps, avoid its worst outcome. A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, February 8, 2002 Women’s shelter clears another hurdle Council decision pushes plan for safe haven in west Durham closer to reality Walter Trehern Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com DURHAM ––A 39-year-old Ajax woman is in a Toronto hospital follow- ing a head-on crash on Victoria Street in Whitby Tuesday night. Shortly after 7 p.m., an Ajax couple and their 10-year-old daughter were eastbound in a Dodge Caravan on Victoria Street near Lynde Shores Conservation Area, Durham Regional Police report. Their van collided head- on with a Volkswagen travelling west. The driver of the Volkswagen and the Ajax family were taken to Ajax- Pickering Health Centre for treatment. The child had bruises and a sprained wrist, police said. The woman was trans- ferred to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre with leg injuries. The others were treated and released. Wayne Leonard Robinson, 32, of Cobourg is charged with two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, breach of under- taking and driving while disqualified. NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, February 8, 2002 PAGE 7 A/P We’re online at durhamregion.com“I’m pleased that we’ve reached agreement on a fair purchase price and resolved the issues in this complicated land-sale agreement,” he said. “Council supports the con- cept of a women’s shelter in Ajax. There’s no question a shelter is needed in west Durham, but council had a re- sponsibility to the taxpayers to ensure the site is appropri- ate, and if so, that the Town received a fair price for the land, compensation for the loss of lease income, and ful- filment of a promise for a po- lice station in Ajax.” Det. Const. Carter said the dispute was between the Town and the police depart- ment. “The issues didn’t con- cern the women’s centre. Those are things they had to iron out.” The 25-bed shelter will be the first of its kind in west Durham, she added. The facility, which is about 7,000 square feet, must un- dergo extensive interior reno- vations, and also requires a 7,000-sq.-ft. addition. She said the earliest the facility could open is this December. “We can’t bid for tender until we have the building,” she added. “It depends on who we get for the renova- tions and addition.” It’s going to cost $2.3 mil- lion to buy and renovate the building, with the Ministry of Community and Social Services contributing $2.175 million. “We’re $200,000 short in our estimate. The community has to help us,” Det. Const. Carter said. The Province will also pro- vide an additional $600,000 towards the operating budget of $850,000 a year, leaving the centre to come up with the rest. “Every year, we’ll have to fund-raise to meet our operat- ing budget,” she said. Before the sale is finalized, however, the centre has to go through the normal planning process, including a rezoning, and that includes holding an open house, expected later this month. “If we don’t get the zon- ing, we don’t want the build- ing,” Det. Const. Carter said. June 5 is the closing date, pending the rezoning. “If nobody appeals, we’re off and running. God knows we need it,” she noted. The provincial government told her to get moving “or that’s it and they’ll move on. They want to see it up and running.” Assuming the normal plan- ning process, including ap- peal periods, the centre will know if the rezoning is ap- proved by mid-May. “That’s when we’ll truly celebrate,” she said. For the first time in Ontario, a pilot project will see a specially-trained police officer stationed at the shelter. “The chief said if it’s need- ed and we’re too busy, he’d allocate more officers.” SHELTER from page 1 Shelter for abused women clears municipal hurdle STEVE PARISH ‘Council had a responsibility to taxpayers.’ Ajax family injured in Whitby crash Omega Realty Inc., 905-683-1088 Stop paying rent and buy a home of your own!

Pickering, OPG ink fire services deal Fire services agreement formalizes ‘what we’ve been doing for years’ BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The City and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) inked a new agreement last month, formalizing a co-operative and collab- orative relationship between Pickering fire services and the local nuclear plant. “For years we’ve worked very closely, co-operating with Pickering Fire Services,” said Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. “Now we’ve formalized that process.” Details of the agreement include annual fire safety inspections of the nuclear plant by Pickering Fire Services, fire drills throughout the year, advanced training for both fire- fighters and OPG staff, and the hiring of a new emergency response co-ordi- nator for the city. Part of the specialized training be- gins this year when OPG staff and firefighters participate in advanced in- cidental command training at the Department of National Defence fire school at Base Borden. OPG will cover the annual costs of all the training, inspections, drills and salary of the emergency response co- ordinator, all expected to exceed $200,000. “Nuclear plants are different than other industries,” said Mr. O’Brien. “We recognize that for the safety of our employees, the city and ourselves, specialized training is needed.” “This is exciting for (OPG) and us,” said Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas. “It represents an effective fire safety plan, I’m very pleased we got this done.” OPG will also share fire safety and prevention equipment and provide as- sistance in the event of a major inci- dent outside the plant. “We’ve been here for 30 years and always co-operated with the City, but never set anything out on paper. This agreement spells out in a positive way what we’ve been doing for years and I think we’d both agree it’s been a long time coming,” said Mr. O’Brien. “It meets the City’s needs and our needs and I hope it will be undertaken in other communities with nuclear facil- ities.” Veridian Connections Update: Proposed Adjustment to Electricity Distribution Rates To: Our Valued Customers in Ajax, Pickering, Clarington and Uxbridge. I’m writing to advise you of a proposed adjustment to Veridian Connections’ rates for electricity distribution services. A request for approval of this rate change has been submitted to the Ontario Energy Board. If authorized, new distribution rates will take effect on March 1, 2002. Why Are Rates Being Adjusted? This rate adjustment is not unique to Veridian Connections. It affects most of Ontario’s electricity distributors, and is driven by government legislation that has changed our businesses from non-profit operations to commercial enterprises. While a commercial orientation for our business will promote greater efficiencies, it also introduces new costs. For example, we must now make payments equivalent to corporate income taxes - payments that will be used by the provincial government to retire the debt of the former Ontario Hydro. These new taxes account for over sixty percent of our proposed rate adjustment. The balance of the rate increase is required to establish a commercially viable business. How Will It Affect You? The impact of the rate adjustment will vary by customer type and consumption level. The monthly bill for a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh’s of electricity will increase from $91.69 to $98.14. This represents an increase of about 7% on the total electricity bill. Full details of the proposed new rates can be viewed on-line at www.veridian.on.ca, or in person at 55 Taunton Road East in Ajax. Our Commitment To You While our business in changing, our focus remains the same. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest standard of service, at competitive distribution rates. And, as we are locally owned and operated, you can count on us to continue our tradition of support to the communities that we serve.

On Jan. 22 and 23 delegations from Canada, the European Union, Japan and the Russian Federation met for the second in a series of nego- tiation meetings expected to lead to an interna- tional agreement on the location and construction of ITER –– International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. In June 2001, Canada submitted a bid to host ITER, a $12-billion collaborative fusion research project at a site in Clarington beside the Darlington Generating Station and St. Mary’s Cement. At the negotiations, Canada reported the first formal review of the ITER project by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will occur in March as part of its licensing process. Other site offers are under consideration from the European Union and Japan. At the negotia- tions the European Union reported the French minister asked for France’s proposal for a site in Cadarache, France to be taken into account. A study to analyze the possibility of Spain as a site is also being conducted. Japan reported on discussions at the Council on Science and Technology Policy (CSTP), a body chaired by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. The Japanese participation in the ITER Project is desirable and the council believes hosting ITER is meaningful, said Atsuko Toyama, minis- ter of science and technology. The Japanese gov- ernment is expected to make its final decision on whether to continue to pursue the ITER project by the end of February. Russia reported ITER continues as one of its highest priorities. The next negotiation meeting is scheduled for March 19 and 20 in Moscow.

But at Monday’s Durham District School Board stand- ing committee meeting, there was no consensus on the val- ue of doing so. Education director Grant Yeo reminded trustees the clock is ticking on about 6,500 board employees who must, by July 31, 2003, pro- vide a criminal background check to the board. “We’re talking about gathering information in a quantity we have never gath- ered it before,” he said. The board has required background checks as a con- dition of employment for about eight years. In addition to background checks, Ontario Regulation 521, which took effect last month, requires yearly of- fence declarations from em- ployees to fill in any gaps in the time since the back- ground check. The regulation also ap- plies to board service providers and individuals “who come into direct con- tact with pupils on a regular basis,” states the provincial government act. “I think that this is a case of a regulation that has pro- ceeded in spite of all the con- cerns expressed,” said Brock- Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine. “I look at this and I think, will this give us a false sense of security? The time and effort and all of the infra- structure that is going to be put in place... are just mind- boggling.” She was told there is no money in the education fund- ing formula for the initiative and that the employees them- selves are expected to bear the cost of $20 for an em- ployee background check from Durham Regional Police. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper wondered how the board is to respond to the in- formation collected. “At what point do you find something that’s so of- fensive that the person can’t be employed by the board?” she asked. Mr. Yeo said that was the crux of the issue but could not answer the question. “Certainly that’s something for the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association,” he replied, noting the informa- tion in a background check could be several years old. Others supported the reg- ulation. Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler said it was long overdue and shouldn’t be a big problem for employ- ees. “I would like to think that our teachers or service providers would like to do this,” she said. “I’m sure 99 per cent will come back with no record,” said Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers. Shelley Page, Durham president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, said the union would not be covering the cost of the checks. “It’s not the union’s busi- ness to police its members,” she said. “And, in fact, when we’re enrolled in the college of teachers already, and we’re members of profes- sional organizations already, and the board already seeks background checks, this is more of the government passing laws and policies that are already being covered in schools.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, February 8, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P Trustees dig in for discussion on teacher background checks Iter Information Session A successful Canadian bid will see this fusion energy research centre built in our community.

Therefore, it is only fitting in death the 20-year-old local woman has given the ultimate gift to a group of strangers. Ms. Shea, of Thomas Street in Oshawa, died Saturday of injuries suffered in a collision last Thursday, the region’s first traffic fatality this year. And while her family mourns the tragedy, Valerie Shea said they are comforted knowing her daugh- ter’s death has given new life to oth- ers. Ms. Shea’s kidneys, liver and pancreas cells were donated to three recipients Saturday, said her griev- ing mother. “Krista was always there for oth- er people. She gave everything she had of herself to her family. We’re devastated but it is very consoling to know that, even in death, she is still giving,” said Valerie Shea, 48, of Courtice. Her daughter’s liver was trans- planted to an elderly woman; a mid- dle-aged man was the recipient of one kidney, while a woman benefit- ed from the other. Krista was headed to work in Ajax when she lost control of her westbound 1991 Chevrolet Lumina on Phillip Murray Avenue in south Oshawa and was ‘T-boned’ by an eastbound pickup truck at 6:40 a.m. She suffered massive trauma and remained on life support at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre until the organ transplants were arranged. The unidentified driver of the pickup truck suffered minor injuries in the crash. Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman, said the probe into the collision is continuing, but charges are not anticipated. Investigators be- lieve road conditions may have played a role in the accident and are asking any witnesses come forward and call officers at 905-579-1520 ext. 5225 or 5227. Ms. Shea, a graduate of Courtice High School, was in her fourth and final year of an apprenticeship as a general machinist and was complet- ing studies at the Durham College campus in Whitby, her mother says. Known as a “chatter-box” to family and friends, Ms. Shea had a cheerful, outgoing personality. “She was just a beautiful girl, so vivacious and loving,” Valerie Shea said. “When she walked into a room the whole room would just light up.” KRISTA LEE SHEA ‘She was a beautiful girl, so vivacious and loving.’ TM Trade-mark of CIBC.*APR (Annual Percentage Rate) based on a new $120,000 mortgage with 25-year amortization.

They will be offering Bison Ribs every Wednesday, beginning February 6, 2002. Bison meat is very lean, tender, and healthy. Bison has a higher nutrient value and more protein than other meat and poultry entrees; but with less fat, cholesteral and calories than skinless ckicken. Buffalo Nickel bison are certified hormone and antibiotic-free. Bison is the accurate term for what North Americans refer to as buffalo. Buffalo Nickel bison are ranch- raised and grain finished to be consistently tender and delicious. Bison are not an endangered species. Today there are approximately 300,000 bison across North America. Nickel bison is a premium grade meat with a naturally clean, non-gamy taste. Like a fine beef steak but even more tender and more delicious. Much like swordfish or a fine wine, bison is a more exotic more rare in availability. Yet the demand is high, which is why the price can be higher. Drop by Magwyers, 105 Bayly St. West, Ajax, Wednesdays between 5-10 and check out their fabulous Buffalo Ribs for only $14.95. 905-426-8877 Don’t Mythtake the Facts!

I’d’ been standing nonchalantly on the snow anchor waiting for every- one to finish lunch, and the next thing I knew I was jerked off my feet, dragged from the waist down with legs flying behind me, holding onto the handle of the sled for dear life. “Woooooaaaaahhhh!” I called out in my most calm yet assertive voice, trying to brake with my feet. I’m not sure if the dogs would have eventually fol- lowed my command, because Genevieve thankfully pulled up beside me and was able to halt the runaways. “You looked just like a stunt woman!” said my eight-year-old son Vaughn proudly. Driving a dogsled Although initially apprehen- sive, my confidence in driving the team increased as I devel- oped a sense of rhythm and bal- ance. The two-hour jaunt went by quickly in a blaze of beauti- ful countryside and falling snow. Riding in the basket of the sled got chilly after awhile, but driving was far more physical than I had expected. As we re- turned, an exhilarated Vaughn came running up to greet me. “Did you see me driving?” Genevieve, a competitive dogsledder, had allowed him to drive the team, a privilege usu- ally reserved for those a mini- mum of 10 years old. Genevieve showed us how to unhitch the dogs and march them on their hind legs to their 55-gallon straw-filled barrels in the yard. We said “so long” to 250 of the nicest Alaskans you’d ever want to meet and headed to our lodging, Voyageur Quest Algonquin Log Cabin (near South River, on Smythe Lake, about eight kilometres from Algonquin Park). As we entered the cabin, gas lamps and candlelight cast a warm glow and a roaring fire in the striking dual-sided field- stone hearth blazed. We felt like we’d slipped through the cracks of time and it was love at first sight for the entire family. Staying in a log cabin, in the woods, in winter, with no elec- tricity, heated by wood and with the comforts and hospitality of a bygone era spoke to a romance all of us connected to. Owner of Voyageur Quest, 34-year-old John Langford, has chosen his staff well. The two guides who hosted our week- end, 23-year-old Burk’s Falls native son Brian Pink and 28- year-old Torontonian Sam Start stoked the fires, lit the lamps, cooked delicious meals, man- aged the cabin and guided us through two days of winter backwoods activities. With im- peccable timing, meals ap- peared, Algonquin lore was shared, and we were left to relax or encouraged to hustle as cir- cumstance directed. Back-country skiing Although 10-year-old Bryn and my 46-year-old spouse were in their element back- country skiing, hammering over fallen logs and through brush on cross-country skis was a bit too demanding for the novices (Vaughn, Niamh and me.) We were far more content to ski across frozen Smythe Lake (known locally as Surprise Lake). On our final day, Brian and Aussie Scott Burgess took the whole family snowshoeing on a four-km trail that included some steep assents, spectacular land- scapes and a million-dollar view of Smythe Lake. The hike took about three hours and presented a considerable physical chal- lenge for the adults, not to men- tion the kids. Snowshoes were too difficult for our five-year-old, who was light enough to walk on top of the snow anyway and we carried a plastic sled along with us so that Niamh could take a break on the flats of the trail. The boys particularly enjoyed Brian’s commentary on interesting for- est flora and fauna. Break from the TV When it was time to leave the snow and head back to the grey city, Niamh informed me she wanted to move to the cabin for- ever. After a weekend when prime-time viewing had been limited to watching the antics of the redpoll finches and hairy woodpeckers at the bird feeders, my son Vaughn told us, “it’s good to get away from the TV sometimes, you know.” The package that we had en- joyed, ‘footsteps of the pio- neers’ provided an opportunity to experience activities that I would never have had the confi- dence to do with my kids alone. www.carlsonwagonlit.ca or call 1-800-CARLSON (227-5766) Peace of Mind * Toronto Departures.Available to Gold Points cardholders only.All prices are adult per person based on dbl. occ.

Things go wrong when Rollerball’s creator, Petrovich (Jean Reno), real- izes that serious on-court accidents bring higher rat- ings. Soon Jonathan and his friends are playing for their lives. The teammates find themselves trapped in in- trigue, pawns in a new game without any rules. COLLATERAL DAMAGE Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Turturro, John Leguizamo. Directed by Andrew Davis.

The makeup contest from a previously can- celled game was essentially a meaningless af- fair for both squads as Wexford had already locked up first place in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League South Conference standings and the Panthers were re- signed to fifth place after the Thornhill Rattlers claimed fourth spot by beating Oshawa Tues- day. Pickering will play the Rattlers in the first- round, best-of-seven playoff series. The game, however, wasn’t meaningless to Panthers’ team captain Garett Winder who had a four-point night (two goals, two assists) to reach the 40-goal plateau and finish the season with 73 points. Pickering led 3-2 in the first period and then struck for five goals in the second. Wexford scored the only goal of the final period. Also scoring were Mike Hanna with two, Dan Schofield, Brent Chandler, Ryan Taylor and Mitch Hugli. Assisting were Hanna with three, Schofield and Kyle Aitken,each with two,Kevin Rogers,Alex Pavloski, Colin Jennings, Chris Anderson, Chandler and Sean Bradley. The Panthers open the playoffs in Thornhill tomorrow (Saturday) at 7 p.m. Game 2 reverts to the Pickering Recreation Complex on Sun- day at 7 p.m. for a tentatively scheduled contest. Game three is in Thornhill Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. No time or date was set for game four at the News Advertiser’s deadline Thursday.

Durham West atoms lose close game to Chiefs, tie Brampton DURHAM —The Durham West Lightning atom ‘AA’ girls posted a tie and a loss in two league games last weekend. The Lightning played to a 2-2 draw with the Brampton Canadettes Sunday, using two last-minute goals with their goaltender on the bench to knot the score. Brampton scored in the first and second periods to carry a 2-0 lead into the final frame. The Lightning had a chance to tie the game in the first peri- od when forward Danielle Boudreau was awarded a penalty shot after being hooked from behind on a breakaway. With their goaltender pulled in favour of an extra attacker, Durham West’s Kaitlyn Hill scored on a pass from Brooke Sawyer to narrow the score to 2-1 with 38 seconds left. With only 14 seconds remaining, Sawyer got another assist, passing to forward Natalie Spooner who rifled a shot through a maze of players into the top corner. Last Saturday, the Lightning dropped their first league game of the season, 1-0 to the Mississauga Chiefs in a game that featured end-to-end ac- tion. Mississauga scored the game winner late in the second period on a rebound after Kim Caggiula made three big saves in a row. Spooner made a valiant attempt to tie the score with one second left in the game but was robbed by the Chiefs goalie. The atoms boast a record of 17-1-3 in league play, 5-0-2 in tournament play and 3-0-0 in exhibition action. Other team members are Kailey Chappell, Trisha Egberts, Layne Far- rell, Lynsey Nakamura, Madison Reeves, Kayla Richard, Jessica Ronald, Alannah Wakefield and Tara Watchorn. Dino Caggiula, Geoff Reeves, Tim Wakefield and Bruce Nakamura coach the team. The trainers are Drina Hill and Liane Barber.
