After being told by the On- tario Municipal Board (OMB) it could not begin using the Coolwater Farms property for marina boat storage and park- ing purposes, the harbour com- pany is making sure no one else will use the property until the issue is completely re- solved. Harold Hough, president of the harbour company, con- firmed Tuesday the company had built a fence around a por- tion of the property, which the City had been using as a public parking lot at the south end of Liverpool Road. The City had leased the north end of the parking lot, on the east side of Liverpool, from the previous owners of the property, but has yet to renego- tiate the lease with the harbour company since it obtained the property. The lease expired in December. As a result of the fence, half of the available public parking on the bay is now gone. “We just wanted to get a head start on the ultimate use of the site,” said Mr. Hough, explaining it was the City that asked the OMB to not allow any use of the property. “They argued for no interim uses of the property, we’re just com- plying with their wishes... they shot themselves in the foot.” In fact, Mr. Hough has also placed a sign on the fence stat- ing it was put up at the request of the City, which Pickering officials deny. The City and harbour com- pany have been locking horns in recent months over develop- ment of the land surrounding the east side Frenchman’s Bay, including the Coolwater Farms property, which led them to the OMB. The harbour company wants to build 66 townhouses on the north end of the marina lands. Twenty-six of those homes would front Liverpool, including eight that would in- clude commercial ground floors. The marina would con- tinue to operate on the south side of the existing property, while boat cleaning and main- tenance would move across the street to the Coolwater Farms property. Council has countered only 26 homes should be built, all fronting Liverpool and com- mercially convertible, and wants the existing marina and Coolwater property left as is. The first of two OMB hear- ings took place May 10 with the board denying the harbour company’s request to begin JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Weapons seized in search DURHAM –– Rod Piukkala, deputy chief of operations for the Durham Regional Police Service, displays some of the weapons police seized from an Uxbridge home following an early-morning traffic stop in Pickering.

Landowner, City fence over parking A ‘beautiful’future for Durham, piece by piece Vision for new university combines academic excellence amidst spectacular surroundings BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Journey to Durham College’s north Os- hawa campus today and you’ll find the main building with its practical but plain 1970s archi- tecture surrounded by con- struction and unearthed dirt. But when college president Gary Polonsky looks upon the expanse of land around him, all he sees is a “beautiful” future. “In two years it will look nothing like what you see today. Beautiful, natural, effi- cient, safe, inspirational, unique,” says the president, rhyming off every descriptive that comes to mind for his vi- sion of the University of On- tario Institute of Technology (UOIT). “I’m often reluctant to throw around a word like Princeton but why not?” he asks. “If the good people of New Jersey could do a Prince- ton why couldn’t the good peo- ple of Durham Region do one too?” Mr. Polonsky, the driving force of the post-secondary in- stitute for 13 years, has ideas that always seem to come in one size only –– extra large. He wanted his college to grow and it did. Today Durham has 7,500 full-time students as compared to 2,713 in 1989. The president wanted a same-site university to func- tion in tandem with the college and much to the surprise of many, he got it. It’s scheduled to open in September 2003. UOIT will encompass eight schools including nuclear, business, health and education studies. It will have an empha- sis on technology-based de- grees but will also offer more general BAs. “It is going to be broad- ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Durham boards expected to lift travel ban Students may soon be flying friendly skies again DURHAM —The skies ap- pear to be friendly, so Durham high school students likely have the green light to travel the world again — as long as they don’t plan on going to hot spots like the Middle East. The Durham Catholic Dis- trict School Board was expect- ed last night to lift its moratori- um on international student trips, put in place last October following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. “It is our intention to rein- state international student ex- cursions with the understanding that each school application is adjudicated and monitored by the appropriate family of schools superintendent, consis- tent with board procedures and practices,” said superintendent Gerry Blake in a report on Tuesday’s board meeting agen- da. At the Durham District School Board, although the final decision regarding over- seas trips was left with school principals last October, the board advised none be taken. Board spokesman Andrea Pidwerbecki said in an inter- view the advice would change for September. “We have reviewed the poli- cy, and for the 2002/2003 school year, effectively the ban has been lifted for out-of- province and international trav- el,” she said. Ms. Pidwerbecki said the board’s administrative council, comprised of superintendents and education director Grant Yeo, must OK trips and destina- tions to areas of political unrest and war would not be approved. She added senior staff re- serves the right to reconsider the policy if conditions should change. When Catholic board staff made its decision to cancel all board-sponsored trips, educa- tion superintendent Paul Pulla presented a report showing six of the board’s seven high schools had planned journeys involving about 200 students and 31 staff members. The des- tinations included England, Hawaii and Greece. All but one of those trips, an August excursion to Australia by an estimated 26 St. Mary Catholic Secondary School pupils, has come and gone. GRANT YEO Part of administrative council that approves trips. Durham College president Gary Polonsky stands in front of a new building taking shape at the school’s Oshawa campus. He’s been working hard to bring the new University of On- tario Institute of Technology from dream to reality.See DURHAM page A2 See PICKERING page A4 based university, not a techie, quirky little place. It is going to be a big, important university just as MIT is or Waterloo is,” says Mr. Polonsky, who suggests as those universities have distinguished themselves in one specialty while edu- cating in many subjects, so will UOIT. Now Mr. Polonsky is turning his mind to ensuring UOIT meets standards of excellence both academically and es- thetically. “This is going to be a miracle because we have the po- tential to make it that, largely because of Windfields Farm and 500 acres (donated to and purchased by the school) north and south of Conlin Road,” says Mr. Polonsky. “We have a magnificent river valley, rolling topography. This is a gift and we plan to respect it in every way in terms of es- thetics, environmental responsibility and functional effi- ciencies.” UOIT plans include several new buildings in a “village campus” connected by colonnades of removable glass pan- els that protect students from the elements of the cold Canadian winter, while allowing the inspiration of the nat- ural environment inside. The plans feature outdoor gather- ing nodes with flowerbeds, benches and statues where stu- dents and faculty can meet in the warmer months. The ex- pansion of the cafeteria will create a performing arts space, he says. It will be a space not only for students but the whole Durham community with a ‘Central Park’ ambience, in- cluding a refrigerated skating pond. Here families can ven- ture on weekends and the community can host special events. Beauty comes at a price. The Ontario government has already placed $60 million in the UOIT bank account as the first instalment toward the university’s capital needs. But this vision will require far more than the Province will pro- vide. Durham College already supple- ments its government funding with corporate training. There’s no reason the university can’t do the same, says Mr. Polonsky, an academic with a nose for business. “We are hopeful to be able to help ourselves.” Patrons for this university will be a must and fund-raising will be essen- tial, he knows, as will unique partner- ships between the institution, local government and the private sector. Never afraid to move beyond the sta- tus quo, the president alludes to a pri- vate/public partnership to be unveiled this spring, a “$140-million an- nouncement that will transform how education is done. It will be unique on the continent,” he promises. In this inspired setting he believes Durham can create a school that will produce “thinkers, leaders, doers. That’s going to be the number-one achievement of UOIT.” PICKERING ––A lone masked bandit, believed to be a teenager, held a handgun to a hotel employee’s head during a Victoria Day heist. Durham Regional Police said the suspect approached the front desk at Comfort Inn, at 533 Kingston Rd., at about 5 p.m. Monday and demanded money from the 46-year-old female worker, while holding a gun to her face. The victim complied and was or- dered into a back room by the ban- dit, who fled. He was de- scribed as male, white, 15 to 17 years, 5-foot-6, skinny and wearing a knit- ted dark balacla- va and dark gloves. A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 22, 2002 Bandit sought in hotel heist Black-tie charity event helps with organization’s deficit fight BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer AJAX —The Victorian Order of Nurses (VON), which has a century of helping people receive medical attention at home, could use a little assis- tance of its own. This Saturday, May 25, the Durham Chapter of VON is having a black-tie charity live and silent auction and hopes to raise $20,000 to help it run deficit-free this year. The auction runs from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Car- ruther’s Creek Golf Centre at 650 Lakeridge Rd. S. Admis- sion is $10. “We’re always asking peo- ple for money so this is a way to get something back for your money,” said Evelyn Smith, di- rector of the Durham chapter. Currently VON has two rooms full of auction items do- nated by the community, in- cluding dinner passes, overnight stays in Niagara, tickets to the ‘Lion King,’ signed hockey sticks from NHL old-timers. VON provides home health- care services to residents, rang- ing from visits, to nursing ser- vices and palliative care, to foot care, and meals on wheels. Last year, the charity’s $2- million budget ran a $250,000 deficit. VON gets $46 for each home-care visit it makes. Nurses get paid $25.15 an hour and because of the set amount per visit, a nurse could be there for three hours, leav- ing VON without enough to pay wages. “My goal for this year is to remain deficit-free while pro- viding quality services,” said Ms. Smith. VON will still have its golf tournament this fall and hopes to bring in $25,000, but the auction is a chance to give the year’s fund-raising activity a big boost. “I wanted people to get something for their money. I called places and said would you be willing to donate and they said, ‘Oh for VON, yes’!” she said. “We’ve had wonderful sup- port from the community. This gives people a nice night out and something for their money with dollars that will hopefully continue delivering the services VON is so proud of.” Those interested in donating auction items or getting tickets can call 905-665-2222.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 22, 2002 PAGE A3 A/P Just the fax: 905-683-7363 Weapons cache confiscated Police foil alleged home invasion with seizure of guns BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Three family members face numerous charges after police foiled an al- leged home-invasion plot and seized a cache of weapons, in- cluding handguns and military assault rifles. Durham Regional Police said a report of a suspicious vehicle in a rural residential area in northeast Pickering led uniform officers to stop a cube van near Salem Road and the Eighth Concession about 2 a.m. Satur- day. While investigating, officers discovered one of the two occu- pants of the van, a father and son, was wearing a bulletproof vest and had a loaded 45-calibre pistol in his front pocket, Durham police spokesman Dave Selby said. A loaded pump-action shot- gun was also found in the van, police said. A warrant was obtained and Durham detectives, assisted by the OPP’s Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit, searched the suspects’Bristol Sands Crescent residence in Uxbridge, where 30 guns were seized, Mr. Selby said. Among the firearms recov- ered were handguns, rifles and assault weapons, including an M1 and AR-15. Ammunition was also seized by police officials. Police allege the pair had planned to rob a Pickering man at his residence as collection for an unpaid debt, said Detective Sergeant Peter Naumienko, head of the Ajax-Pickering de- tachment’s criminal investiga- tions unit. Det. Sgt. Naumienko said the man police suspect was the in- tended victim was contacted by investigators and has co-operat- ed. Guiseppe Eugene Gagliardi, 57, and his son Joseph Ray- mond Gagliardi, 26, are charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, possession of break-in instruments and 15 weapons-related charges, in- cluding possession of a loaded restricted firearm and unautho- rized possession of prohibited weapons. Melody Lee Gagliardi, 55, is charged with careless storage of restricted weapons and ammuni- tion and unauthorized posses- sion of a prohibited weapon.

Man ordered to stand trial in Pickering shooting Pretrial hearing set for June 6 in shooting of Ajax man DURHAM —A 22-year-old man accused of shooting a player during a pickup basketball game at Picker- ing’s Pine Ridge Secondary School has been ordered to stand trial on more than 20 charges, including at- tempted murder. Teran Richards, 22, of Ajax, was shot four times, twice through the back, during the after-hours game in the school gym April 3, 2001. The victim was playing against a team from Scarborough when a dis- pute broke out on the court, and the shots were fired. A bullet also “grazed” a 15-year- old female spectator, police said. Durham police arrested two men, including the accused triggerman, following a pursuit that ended in a crash in the Taunton and Altona roads area. Following a preliminary hearing in Oshawa provincial court, Marlon Maragh, 22, of Scarborough, was or- dered last Friday by a judge to stand trial in Superior Court of Justice for attempted murder, aggravated as- sault, dangerous driving, flight from police, and various weapons charges. A pretrial has been scheduled for June 6 in Whitby. Don’t ‘squash’ us, Pickering residents plead PICKERING from page A1 Pickering ponders injunction to use parking lot lands BY MICHAEL PELHAM Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —Traffic won’t be bearable along Sheppard Avenue if planning guidelines for Pickering’s ‘northeast quadrant’ aren’t amended, say area residents. City staff were at the May 13 Pickering planning and development committee meeting to present improved plans for the triangular- shaped quadrant, bordered by Whites Road on the west, the Kingston Road/Hwy. 401 exit, and Sheppard Av- enue. The purpose of the plan is to make sure further development in the area achieves a cohesive identity for the neighbourhood and provides guidelines for de- velopment on private proper- ty. Residents were there to express concern joining ac- cess points from Kingston Road to Sheppard Avenue would make traffic congest- ed in the already busy area. Also, using land designated for development as medium- density residential — around 55 units per hectare — could contribute to overcrowding. “We have to keep the south side of Sheppard a low-residential area,” said John Ibbetson, who lives on Sheppard. He’s afraid if de- velopment goes ahead as planned, commercial areas could become too close for comfort. Another proposal is to make part of the quadrant a mixed use corridor, with both commercial, recreation- al and residential in the same area. “This just squashes us,” said Mr. Ibbetson, who ar- gued there isn’t enough buffer between the current low-density neighbourhood he lives in now and the pro- posed mixed corridor. More houses and com- mercial buildings also means more traffic, he said. Catherine Rose, of the City’s development and planning department, said in a presentation the increase wouldn’t be too much to bear. “There will be a nominal increase along Sheppard,” Ms. Rose said. Residents would see an estimated extra 15 cars per hour. “This is a nominal increase on a busy road.” However, in an interview afterward, Mr. Ibbetson dis- puted the estimation. “I don’t even know where they get those numbers. They don’t even add up,” he said. Any change would be tough to handle said resident Wilma Fleavell, who already finds it hard backing out of her driveway onto the busy, hilly street. “Sheppard Avenue is used as a shortcut for Kingston Road,” Ms. Fleavell said. “If you ever go along Sheppard, it’s like a roller-coaster, and it’s a diffi- culty coming out of the dri- veway; you have to be very careful. “Medium density is also going to change the whole atmosphere, and that’s what the people are against. We’re getting clobbered.” Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner said further planning is needed in the area to respect the exist- ing low-density housing. “I can’t support those (planning) guidelines,” he said. “We must respect the community.” He added, “Don’t forget the Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives (the resi- dents) the right to protect their property.” The committee referred the matter back to planning and development staff for further work. The revised plans are expected in early June.

PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PET. IT IS NOT ONLY THE NEIGHBOURLY THING TO DO, IT’S THE LAW!!! S. Koch Supervisor of Animal Services Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services Centre 4680 Thickson Road North, Whitby 905-4278737 “Everyone should have a will because everyone has assets,” said Glynn Thomas, Ajax accountant and estate planner, partner in the firm Thomas Chase Estate Planning Services Ltd. “If you don’t then the government will de- cide who gets what... they’ll take the es- tate out of the hands of the family if there’s no proper will.” In fact, the provincial government says when no will exists, either as a re- sult of failing to have a will or one that is invalid, they do take control. The term used to describe the situa- tion is intestate succession, meaning one’s estate will be distributed in accor- dance with the provisions of the Succes- sion Law Reform Act — legislation in Ontario governing the laws relating to estate administration. The legislation states if you are sur- vived only by your spouse, the entire es- tate goes to your spouse. If you are sur- vived by a spouse and children and have an estate valued at less than $200,000, all of it goes to the spouse as well. But, for estates in excess of $200,000, the first $200,000 goes to the spouse and the re- mainder is divided amongst the spouse and children. If you are unmarried at the time of your death, but are survived by children, the estate would be divided equally amongst them. With no surviving spouse or children, your parents, siblings, nephews and nieces,or next of kin would be entitled to the estate. If no next of kin exists, the estate would go to the govern- ment. Even the provincial government’s own literature suggests it is unlikely the lines of intestate succession will coincide with your specific wishes. It says this is the primary reason the development of an estate plan implemented through a will is of vital importance in preserving and distributing your wealth. And, Mr. Thomas said just drawing up a will one time might not be enough. He said it’s just as important to ensure it is up to date. “If you do have a will it could be out of date and should be updated a mini- mum of every five years,” he said. A will should be updated following any major event in your life he said — divorce or remarriage, death of a family member, a change in asset base, if you start a business or close a business. All kinds of reasons.” In vogue over the last couple of years is the home will kit. Most cost around $29.99 and promise the means for anyone to create — or up- date — a will, legally. Jacqueline Visconti is a certified fi- nancial planner (CFP) operating an inde- pendent wealth management consulting practice in Oshawa that serves clients in Durham Region and beyond. She also teaches risk management and estate planning at Durham College to students studying for the CFP desig- nation. Ms. Visconti said professional advice is usually the best option, but the home will kit can get the job done in the right situation. “A home will kit may be an inexpen- sive option for a single person with no dependents and few assets. However, most people should seek the advice of a lawyer, particularly one experienced in estate planning and wills, to draw up a will for them,” she said. “This may cost a few hundred dollars depending on the complexity of the case, but this money is well-spent if it saves your loved ones fi- nancial hardship and emotional anguish by settling your estate quickly and equi- tably.” Mr. Thomas agreed the home kits can get the simple will done. “Home will kits are fine for a very basic will, but for $29.99 you get what you pay for,”he explained. “There can be complications. Filling in the blanks on a form just doesn’t work.” However,Mr. Thomas did say a home will kit is “better than nothing at all.” Mr. Thomas suggested the amount of time needed to construct a will depends on what’s involved with the individual client. Whether planning your will with a firm like Thomas Chase or not, Mr. Thomas said it is of the utmost impor- tance to understand just who you’re going to for advice. “There are a lot of so-called estate planners out there, but most are nothing but mutual fund salesman, so beware,” he said. “You hear some horror stories, one man was told to sell all his blue chip stocks to buy mutual funds and when the funds dropped he lost thousands... It’s important to know who you are dealing with and be very cautious. Shop around.” And, Ms. Visconti said, seeking the advice of a professional can often bring about tax savings as well. Meanwhile, If you can’t take it with you Mr. Thomas said you might as well plan ahead. The population is aging rapidly in Durham and he said that means a lot more interest in will and es- tate planning. “Business is picking up,” he said. “People are concerned about this.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 22, 2002 PAGE A5 A/P A.J.

What we can do, however, is suggest who gets the toys, the trinkets, the wealth we may have amassed throughout our life- time.

For many, getting to work was a task in itself. Those who did not live in the residences at DIL and those who did not own cars (very few did), relied on the Grey Coach buses that ran along Hwy. 2. Upon getting to Harwood, em- ployees either walked, caught a ride with a passing mo- torist or rode the ‘cattle car’ to the plant gates on the south side of Hwy. 401. The plant buses were referred to as cattle cars because of the way workers were packed into them. While this mode of transportation was not popular among the workers, the vehicles were neces- sary and were also used to transport workers to the var- ious work locations spread throughout the site.

Mike Harris keeps saying he may find a future in journalism, but he is more likely to spend it doing what retired Ontario premiers do best — making money. The former Progressive Conser- vative premier said when he stepped down he may seek a career as a journalist and he has repeated it since. Mr. Harris did not indicate what area of writing he might get in- volved in or for whom, although there are newspapers in which his far-right philosophies would fit comfortably. But Mr. Harris has not shown any notable dexterity with or inter- est in words. He ignores rules of grammar, saying things like, “Ot- tawa is shirking their responsibili- ty,” uses slang like “We’re doing our doggonest” and calls the New Democratic Party “the NDP party,” which would not endear him to newspaper editors. Ideas were Mr. Harris’s forte and he had some of the most memorable in Ontario his- tory. Mr. Harris also is following a long list of former premiers who said they might try journalism as a profession, but never did. They in- clude Liberal David Peterson and Tory William Davis. All had battles with newspapers and Mr. Harris’s included launch- ing a $15-million libel suit against one. Their suggestions they might join reporters was more likely their tongue-in-cheek way of telling them theirs seems an easy job for- mer politicians and others with no training could do standing on their heads. The only ex-premier who prac- tised journalism, while prudently keeping his day job as a highly- paid corporate lawyer, was Mr. Harris’s immediate predecessor, New Democrat Bob Rae, who wrote regular columns for several months for a Toronto newspaper, mostly on politics. Mr. Rae gave this up, probably because he could earn more in an hour advising corporate clients than he could in a day writing columns, but his writing was like his speeches, highly literate and readable if his political prejudices could be disregarded. Mr. Rae, who also has written a couple of books, coined phrases a journalist would envy, such as say- ing Mr. Harris’s claim he had come to “fix government should be viewed by Ontarians with the same trepidation Fluffy the cat would feel hearing a veterinarian had come to ‘fix’her.” Mr. Peterson also never achieved his other career ambition, which he said was to work in some underdeveloped country such as Papua, presumably because he could not find one needing his skills. He wound up like Mr. Rae, using his skills to help business, but consoled by huge fees. Mr. Davis was not noted for using the short, crisp language journalism aspires to. His style was more rambling. One critic said Mr. Davis “spoke like the old Colonial Railway, which twisted and turned, chugged up hill and down dale and meandered through the remotest sidings before eventually reaching its destination.” The only journalism that ap- peared under Mr. Davis’s name was a book review in a newspaper that was so unlike his normal, homespun speech, sprinkled with words like “eclectic” and “bionic”, that reporters investigated and found it had been written by three aides. Several premiers decades ago in a more literate age wrote their au- tobiographies, but Leslie Frost, Tory premier from 1949-61, retired and went further and wrote ‘For- gotten Pathways of the Trent,’ about his home area, and ‘Fighting Men,’ about the regiment in which he served in the First World War. Mr. Harris’s predecessors Mr. Rae, notwithstanding his socialist background, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Davis and John Robarts, all lawyers, retired to well-paid jobs with corporate law firms and, along with Frank Miller, a non-lawyer and successful businessman, added lucrative company directorships. Mr. Robarts was offered so many he hired a business school head to pick the best. Mr. Harris, it is now being ar- gued, will be in less demand be- cause he is not a lawyer and had limited business experience. But he has run a government that handled a lot of complex issues and can ad- vise how governments operate. Mr. Harris had contacts with top political and business leaders and can open doors. He also did more for business by cutting its taxes and weakening its enemy, unions, than any premier before him. It will not leave him scrambling for his golf fees. Harris can write his own ticket Ex-premier’s experience and contacts will open plenty of doors One of the three most powerful men in the federal government shot from the hip when he visited Durham last week. Deputy Prime Minister John Manley, who leads the feds along with Prime Minister Jean Chretien and Fi- nance Minister Paul Martin, showed up in Oshawa for a fund-raiser for Durham MP Alex Shepherd. Mr. Manley, touted by many as a successor to Mr. Chretien, minced no words when discussing government taxation powers. If cities want to find ways to raise revenues other than through property taxes and user fees, fine, says Mr. Man- ley. Just don’t expect the feds to hand over any cash. “Assigning taxing powers to municipalities would be something the Province would do. What I don’t agree with is having revenue taken by one level of government and spent by another level of government. We raise the money (GST, federal income tax, etc.), we should spend it and we should be accountable for how we spend it,” said Mr. Manley in a speech to 250 Durham Liberals. The concerns come after years of good times for the feds, which has multibillion-dollar surpluses annually and raises many billions more than it needs through in- flated insurance employment premiums. Meanwhile cities and regions scratch along in desperate shape, cut- ting services, dipping into reserves and increasing user fees and property taxes to stay afloat. The situation cries out for change, but Mr. Manley’s only response is to suggest municipalities be given the chance to institute their own new taxes. Great! More new taxes on top of all the ones we already pay. That’s not much of a solution. The key is for the feds to stop hoarding all our tax money and provide some back in grants to municipalities for badly-needed upgrades. Durham’s municipalities are eager to improve roads and recreation facilities. Couldn’t the feds be more active, with all that extra capital, in pro- viding more money for these purposes? While we’re at it, couldn’t Ottawa help in the vital requirement for expand- ed hospital facilities in Durham? The Province has said it will kick in hundreds of millions of dollars. With the community prepared to scratch and claw many millions in funds, couldn’t the federal government help out as well? Mr. Manley has to remember that old phrase: there is just one taxpayer, and four levels of government, all with their hands out. More taxes aren’t the answer. A more eq- uitable distribution of the wealth with some major help for cities is. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 22, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Hall’s moves a slap at Catholic Church To the editor: I have been following the story on gay high school student Marc Hall regarding his rights to attend the prom with his boyfriend. It is nice to hear he had the courage and fortitude to come for- ward with his parents with his sexual preference. I am very puz- zled. If Mr. Hall’s sexual prefer- ence is so important to him, then why is he attending a Catholic school? Homosexuality is against everything the Catholic Church stands for. I find this to be a slap in the face to the religion he is supposed to believe in. Why does he not change schools and then there would not be a problem? I truly believe he and his friend are hypocrites. This is an opinion shared by a lot of people I know. I think Mr. Hall should be to- tally honest with himself and do himself a big favour and change religions. It would be better for everyone concerned. He would give some credibility back to the Catholic Church. I stand behind the board’s decision and applaud it. Stand by your beliefs. If this were the Muslim or Jewish faith it would not be tolerated and rightly so. So why then should the Catholic faith be subjected to this humiliation? Sharon Semple, Pickering Ajax gets short end of merger To the editor: I am writing in regards to the recent Ajax Pickering Transit Au- thority amalgamation — or should I say Pickering Transit takeover? At first I honestly thought it would be a good thing, but really it is the worst thing that could ever happen. Everything is being run Pickering Transit’s way. First, the community night service is now dial-a-bus and you have to talk to voice mail to make your reserva- tion. Did they even consult to find out what passengers thought? Next, the transfers are like Pickering’s and they are planning to take out the combo card readers. Do they think people have time to go the transit office to purchase monthly passes? Not really. It was such a convenience to renew the passes right on the bus. Tell me, is it an amalgamation or a takeover? Anna Borchuk, Ajax Nuclear waste poses problem To the editor: Nuclear communities like Pick- ering should be more than con- cerned, given the facts, when it comes to having a say in the long- term storage of nuclear waste. Pickering is home to not only the biggest, but also the oldest, nu- clear station in Canada. Nuclear stations produce toxic nuclear waste — deadly for 250,000 years, far longer than recorded human history. Dangerous waste is being stockpiled indefinitely, increasing- ly and maybe infinitely in our back- yard because no country in the world has found a permanent stor- age solution. Nuclear waste cannot be disposed of, only stored. No sci- entist anywhere can give an ab- solute 100-per cent guarantee can- cer-causing radioactive waste will not someday leak in a serious way, even from the most modern facility. The waste producer itself has not put aside the money needed for a permanent solution from the many billions collected from its customers. With the aging Picker- ing ‘A’ reactors about to be resur- rected — producing even more nu- clear waste — are we really closer to the answer?

The president and chief executive officer of Junior Achievement of Durham was describing the recently completed ‘economics of staying in school’program delivered by 360 vol- unteers to 256 Grade 8 classes across Durham Region between April 22 and 26. The volunteers used an economic model to stress the importance of con- tinuing education to achieving stu- dents’ goals for the future. And, despite the program reaching 85 to 90 per cent of Grade 8 class- rooms in Durham, Ms. Raetsen-Kemp said that’s just the beginning. “Although there isn’t much room for growth, we still plan on expanding our program. There will always be classrooms available for this type of program,” she said, adding JA hopes to eventually make the ESIS program available to all Grade 8s. The response to the program has been “awesome”, she said, noting one parent even contacted her to tell her what a positive effect ESIS had. “She said that her daughter could- n’t stop talking about it,” said Ms. Raetsen-Kemp. In feedback forms returned to JA, one student from The Pines Senior Public School in Newcastle wrote, “I learned that suc- cess in your own eyes is success through the eyes of the only person who matters.” A wide-range of volun- teers discussed the importance of staying in school and getting the best job possible, while also offering a les- son in budgeting. “We put a lot of time into finding great representatives. Volunteers came from places such as Royal Bank, GM, TD, the Durham Region Home Builders Association, as well as 50 volunteers provided by the Municipality of Durham,” said Ms. Raetsen-Kemp. The goal of the program is to help lead students to a more positive future. Ms. Raet- sen-Kemp agreed preparing for the week was a massive undertaking. “The logistics of planning it was huge. We were juggling 256 class- rooms and about 360 volun- teers. It was definitely diffi cult,” she said. But, she noted it was all worth it. “Being the first year, we were amazed at how much the community joined together and supported us. It was great,” she said. As for next year, preparations are already under way for 2003. “We’re really looking forward to it,” said Raetsen-Kemp. For more information about the program, call Junior Achievement of Durham at 905-432-2492. DURHAM —Junior Achieve- ment asked Grade 8 students who experienced the ‘economics of stay- ing in school’ program to tell us what they thought of the program. Here’s what some had to say: “I have been wondering about the future and how I’m going to live. It answered a lot of questions and I now know what to do.” — Ontario Street Public School, Bowmanville “If I need any help in the future, I will go back to what I learned today.” — Cadarackque Public School, Ajax “It was very nice to see there are people out there who want to help us achieve To remind us at a young age is very smart! It does help.” — St.Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, Oshawa “I learned the value of money and how it doesn’t just pop out of nowhere.You have to work to get what and where you want in life.” — Good Shepherd Catholic School, Courtice What the students said... Counting success with the Economics of Staying in School Junior Achievement, army of volunteers bring message to 8,000 Durham students ABCs of ESIS DURHAM —The ‘economics of staying in school’ (ESIS) is a one-day program that uses an economic model, including budgeting, to reinforce the message of staying in school. Volunteers also act as role models, demonstrating to students the many ca- reer and educational choices available. Educators indicate ESIS hits “the right buttons” in teaching students the bene- fits of staying the course in education and that higher learning generally leads to more success in life. It also dovetails with the Grade 8 curriculum in several areas. Junior Achievement Durham and its supporters back the program be- cause an educated population means a healthier employment and business marketplace. Junior Achievement has been ac- tive as a non-profit organization in Durham for 31 years. ESIS is provided at no cost to students and schools, with the program totally funded by donations from businesses and service clubs, which also supply many of the volun- teers. Lord Durham P.S. students (from left) Nida Mustafa, Nicole Barr, Tina Hoffman and Tabatha Johnston work with volunteer Lee Harrison during an ESIS session. Parents urged to take in car seat safety clinic Durham police co-host weekend event in Whitby DURHAM —The Durham Re- gion Car Safety Seat Committee, in conjunction with the Durham Region- al Police Service, is holding a free safety seat check event Sunday, May 26. All parents of children in car seats are invited to the event at Motor City Saturn Isuzu, 1520 Dundas St. E., be- tween 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The committee was formed to in- crease the awareness and practice or proper car seat installation and usage. Parents and caregivers can find out if their child’s seat is safe and learn more about seat-belt safety. Trained volunteers will be on hand to help. Police will not charge owners or operators of vehicles with improperly installed car seats. For more information on car safety seats and future checks, call the Durham Region Health Department information line at 1-800-841-2729. Durham promotes boat safety this week DURHAM —Don’t drink and drive your car — or your boat. The week of May 18 to 24 is Na- tional Safe Boating Week, and with summer fast approaching, the Durham Region Health Department reminds people to not drink and boat. The department will be handing out ‘celebrate in the right spirit’promotion- al packages at participating marinas in the region. The packages include a keepsake plastic cup with tips on re- sponsible drinking, party planning and safe boating. “Driving while impaired also ap- plies to the operation of all vessels, in- cluding boats, anywhere in Canada and is an offence under the Criminal Code,” said Jane Vendrig, a public health nurse with the department. According to the Office of Safe Boating, 40 per cent of all powerboat fatalities involved victims with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit. “Through this campaign, our goal is to promote the enjoyment of summer leisure activities both safely and re- sponsibly,” said Ms. Vendrig. “By plan- ning ahead, being aware of the risks and including safe and responsible plans, your summer events and leisure activities will be more enjoyable, fun and memorable.” For more information, call 905- 852-9161 ext. 366.

Community Foundation works for better Durham Local fund generates interest income for charity BY CRYSTAL CRIMI Staff Writer DURHAM ––Community Founda- tions was started to do exactly what its name suggests: build locally from with- in. Since 1994, the regional charity has been providing grants to various initia- tives and programs, but lately, executive director Janet Georgieff said residents could use a little reminder it’s still around. “We’re experiencing a rebirth; we’ve found you start at the very beginning with momentum and then things qui- eten,” said Ms. Georgieff. “We’ve been quiet and we’re wanting everyone to know we’re here.” The charity works with endowment funds. Interest earned from contribu- tions is put toward other initiatives. Currently there are 16 different funds donors can choose from. Those interest- ed can also donate to an unrestricted fund and allow the Community Founda- tions grant council to decide where the money is needed the most. “Think of us as a savings accounts for the community: we’re there to make sure there’s always money there for the community,” she said. The Durham Region section of Community Foundations was started by a group of residents concerned there wasn’t enough money locally for com- munity initiatives. The members decid- ed to follow the example of 119 other Community Foundations across North America. Although donations have decreased, over time, Community Foundations has gathered $700,000 in assets and $300,000 in promised gifts. Last year, the interest accrued from the founda- tion, $25,000, was given in grants to programs throughout Durham. Money goes to projects such as music bursaries, aspiring filmmakers, social development, recreational and cultural programs, education scholar- ships, and more. “One of the unique things is we’re there to truly work with the donor,” said Ms. Georgieff. “It can be an individual who wants to make a fund in honour of their mother who has passed away.” If a donor has some idea of what to donate money to, the foundation can help narrow down the choices. “We are working all over Durham and we can work with donors to achieve their goal,” she added. “Someone could come to us and maybe want to do some- thing with youths, but don’t know what the needs are out there. “We can take them around and show them what’s out there... We offer that permanence and choice,” Ms. Georgieff said. “We’re able to work with and as- sist all areas of Durham Region and re- ally connect donors to their needs.” Although it receives some money from the Regional Chairman’s Charity Golf Tournament, Community Founda- tions isn’t really into fund-raising, even though it doesn’t receive any govern- ment funding said Ms. Georgieff. “We’re here to supplement and help other charities out, not to compete with them for money,” she said. Residents interested in donating any amount or providing a bequest to Com- munity Foundations can find out more by phoning 1-888-230-0333 or e-mail Ms. Georgieff at cfdurham@look.ca.

The Kiwanis clubs of Whitby, Oshawa, and Sydenham, Durham A.M. Kiwanis and Westmount Ki- wanis made do- nations of more than $4,000 com- bined recently to the ALS Society of Ontario. “These dona- tions are so time- ly,” says Marion Irwin, president of the Durham ALS Chapter. “The month of June is designat- ed ALS Aware- ness month.” ALS (Amy- otrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Mr. Gehrig was a New York Yankee first baseman and never called in sick in all the years he played a record 2,130 con- secutive games. But in 1939, the disease that bears his name ended his career, two years before end- ing his life on June 2, 1941. To create fur- ther awareness about this dis- ease, the local Durham Chapter will be selling cornflowers, the symbol of the ALS Society, at Durham loca- tions May 24, 25 and 26. A miniature variety of corn- flowers will be sold in 4-inch pots, ready to be transplanted into gardens. In Bow- manville, they will be available at Loblaws Su- permarkets Ltd., 2375 Hwy. 2 at Regional Road 57, Clarington Place plaza, and at Gould Cards and Gifts, 51 King St. E. Fri- day, May 24 from 2 to 9 p.m. and on Saturday, May 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In Oshawa, the flowers can be purchased at Lakeridge Health in the new rotun- da entrance, 1 Hospital Ct., on Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 26 from noon to 8 p.m. The location in Whitby will in- clude all three dates, Friday, May 24, through- out Saturday, May 25 and Sun- day, May 26 dur- ing store hours at Leo’s No Frills, 910 Dundas St. W. The cost is $2 per pot or three pots for $5 with proceeds going directly to ALS research. Anyone wanting to donate to ALS research projects instead of buying live plants can order silk lapel pin cornflow- ers, cornflower seed packets and/or stickers. Income tax receipts are avail- able for donations of more than $10. For information, call Marion Irwin at 905-668-2283.

With Hypnosis “I uncovered the cause of my weight and conquered it!” Melinda After Positive Changes Hypnosis so much energy. It’s easy to stay motivated. Impressed... Folks used to say, “There’s no way you’re going to lose weight. You ’re middle-aged!” I guess I showed them a thing or two! My friends and family teased me about my hypnosis. I heard every swinging watch joke imaginable. They’re not teasing anymore. I get compliments almost every day. I believe with all my heart that if I had gone with a diet center, I would have been a yo-yo. With hypnosis I am confident that I will never gain my weight back. I’m a completely changed person. That’s why I’ve given away every stitch of my fat clothes! I’m convinced most anyone can lose weight with hypnosis. It’s the reason I have referred my friends and family to Positive Changes Hypnosis, and the reason I agreed to share my story with you. There’s got to be something to hypnosis. It worked for my mom, Melinda and me. So don’t hesitate. Don’t even think about going on a diet. You know diets don’t work. Call Positive Changes Hypnosis today. Go to the free evaluation. Sit down and talk with these folks. Then you’ll know what to do. “I Shed 32 Lbs. in 3 Short Months!” Hi, I’m Pat Johnson. I have been married to my husband, Rob, for 38 years. I have three daughters. I am an office manager at my husband’s business. Last year at this time, I was busting the seams of my size 14’s. Three months later, I was a trim size 8! I’ve kept my weight off effortlessly ever since. This is my true story of lasting weight loss success. Dieting Yo-Yo I must have lost and regained my weight 50 times. I starved on diet shakes. Popped over-the-counter diet pills. Spent a fortune on a national weight loss center. With each diet I felt more deprived. The minute I stopped dieting, the pounds were right back plus more. Food was controlling me. I didn’t eat to live. I lived to eat. I’d get up from my meals thinking what can I snack on? I constantly worried about my weight. It made me eat more. The Answer I first heard about Positive Changes Hypnosis at a seminar. I met a lady who was thrilled with her results. I started noticing the ads in the paper. The folks in the ads all said it was easy to lose weight with hypnosis. After all my dieting struggles, could weight loss really be easy? I was skeptical. I showed the ads to my two daughters, Melinda and Janine. They wanted lose weight too. We talked it over. Decided we had nothing to lose. The screening was fascinating and fun. Our consultant said we could come in together. That put my mind at ease. Each of us responded a little differently. Our consultant was genuinely concerned about our needs. I was impressed with Positive Changes. Losing weight without dieting made good sense. Yet my skepticism remained strong. I had failed at dieting so many times. Melinda signed up first. She lost 7 lbs. the first week. Melinda was all smiles. “Yes,” she said, “it’s as easy as they say.” Janine and I signed up a week later. “Easy” Weight Loss! Positive Changes Hypnosis is the easiest way to lose weight. On diets I counted, weighed, measured or craved. None of that with hypnosis. I reached my goal weight effortlessly. My family and friends compliment me all the time. I love it! I used to have a cola in my hand like a permanent fixture. The day after I was hypnotized, I realized my cola craving had vanished! The next day I tried a sip. My first thought was, why did I crave this? That’s when I knew hypnosis would help me. My skepticism dissolved. I know I will keep my weight off. I can sit back, relax and let my mind take over. Hypnosis is never drudgery, like dieting. I don’t mess with special foods. I eat what I want. I’m in control. Smart Investment I would have expected to pay a fortune for the kind of service and results I received from Positive Changes Hypnosis. Folks who have been on any diet program know exactly what I mean. Positive Changes Hypnosis’ fees were amazingly low. It was the smartest investment of my life. I recommend it to anyone. And I have! Several of my family members and friends are also experiencing great results. I met all kinds of people at Positive Changes who are getting fantastic results like mine. Believe me, I never dreamed I’d do an ad like this. I’ve never considered endorsing a product or service before. I believe in Positive Changes Hypnosis. They helped Melinda, Janine and me. I know they can help you. give them a call. Schedule your free screening. What have you got to lose? Call now. “I Dropped 55 Lbs. Without Dieting!” My name is Melinda Russell. I’m an administrative assistant. My 55 lbs. melted off in six short months. I thought I was destined to be forever fat. Then I made my astounding discovery...” My Warning Signal My weight skyrocketed about six years ago. That’s when I married my husband, Ray. I fell into the comfortable married lady routine. I knew Ray was concerned about my weight gain. He could see the changes in my disposition. Ray became my comfort and support. “You ’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” he told me. But I was still miserable! I tried losing weight on my own. I’d drift to sleep each night with a promise. Tomorrow I’ll start my diet. I’d awaken with the burn of hunger pains. Maybe I’ll get me a biscuit. I’ll do better at lunch. I’d be starving by 10:00 a.m. I couldn’t get through the afternoon without a snack. I’ll do good at supper. Day after day the same old routine. Sometimes I’d munch down a half bag of cookies while planning my next diet! My eating was out of control. My self-esteem had hit rock bottom. Hope One day I overheard my mom and sister talking about an ad in the newspaper. At first I tuned them out. Then I heard my Mom say these were local folks who had lost as much as 105 pounds with hypnosis. That got my attention! Still, I was skeptical. Hypnosis? The free screening was full of surprises. Our consultant was friendly and professional. She made us feel at home. I told her about my past failures. How I wanted to lose my weight for good. She understood my needs. Two days later I called back and signed up. I lost 7 lbs. the first week. That’s when my skepticism vanished. 6 1/2 months later I had lost my entire 55 lbs! It was easy. My dress size dropped from a plump 22 to a trim size 12. Losing my weight with hypnosis was the smartest decision of my life. Permanent Change My habits started changing right after my first session. My snacking habits vanished instantly. I wasn’t hungry or cranky at any time during my program. I no longer feel like my stomach’s gnawing at my backbone. Thanks to Positive Changes Hypnosis I uncovered the cause of my weight and conquered it! That’s why I’m certain that I’ll stay thin for good. 100% Improvement When I was overweight, I suffered from cold after cold. I was always tired. Thanks to hypnosis, those days are long gone. I’m active and energetic. I get a tingle of joy every time I see myself in a mirror. My husband says he’s thrilled because I’m so happy. He no longer asks me out to dinner. He asks me out on a date! I feel 100% better about myself. I had almost forgotten what it was like to have a stranger give me a look or whistle. I used to think they were jerks. Now I just smile and think to myself, “Thanks, Positive Changes.” I met lots of other folks at PCH who were getting results just like me. My mom and sister both signed up two weeks after me. They lost all their weight too. That makes three living, breathing success stories. I can’t begin to say enough about my amazing experience with Positive Changes. About Your Happiness... That’s my story. Everything I said is the honest to goodness truth. I shared my story with the hope that, in some small way, I will help someone who is suffering like I was. Now what about your happiness? If you’re where I was, overweight and unhappy, for goodness sake call Positive Changes Hypnosis today. Attend their free hypnotic screening. You ’ll find honest, caring people who have your best interests at heart. Their fees are reasonable and they treat you like royalty. Like I said at the beginning. No one deserves to be unhappy. Don’t miss out on the happy, healthy life you were born to live. Call now. “I didn’t eat to live. I lived to eat.” Pat Johnston Before 32 lb Weight Loss “I’m in control.

Effortlessly!” My name is Janine Joyner. I live with my husband, Chip, and my three children, Wesley, Catelyn and Alex. I work with my husband as a secretary. I dropped 32 pounds in six short months with Positive Changes Hypnosis. My dress size plunged from a snug 14 to a comfortable 8. I have not been paid a penny for sharing my story with you. My Struggle I gained my weight after Catelyn was born. After my last baby, I could not get my weight off. In Six Short Months... My Mom saw a great big ad in the newspaper about weight loss with hypnosis. She showed it to my sister Melinda, and me. We were impressed. A lady named Pat had lost 105 lbs. in ten months. She talked about a free hypnosis screening at Positive Changes Hypnosis. We decided to give it a try. Melinda signed up first. She lost 7 lbs. the first week. That convinced my Mom and me. We signed up together. We lost 32 lbs. each. I lost my weight in 6 short months. Hypnosis made it simple and easy. Instant Results Right after our first session my mom and I went to Chick-Fil-A. We couldn’t begin to finish our food. We ordered sweet iced tea. It tasted disgusting. I haven’t had a single craving for soda or sweet tea since. I have no desire for fast food or junk food. I once pulled into a fast food drive-through and then drove right out. None of it appealed to me. At first I lost about a pound a week. I didn’t mind. I was intrigued to see the positive changes in myself. Then in the last four months my weight melted off. I never felt discouraged. Not once. With Positive Changes my weight loss was positive in every way. I feel great and my doctor is thrilled. Best of all, I feel on top of the world. I haven’t had to use my asthma inhaler since last July. I’ve got physical endurance. When I was fat, I couldn’t exercise for two minutes. I felt like I was about to die. Now I exercise for twenty minutes straight. It’s a snap. I have “My weight was a daily struggle.” Janine Joyer Before Hypnosis After mankind harnessed the power of falling water, there was a vi- sion for all to enjoy an abundance of electrical power. However, at that time no one fore- saw the North American electrical ap- petite would run rampant. Fossil fuel made cheap electricity until the oil crisis in the 1970s. Also, when acid rain was detected we had to search elsewhere. During this period advo- cates of nuclear power promoted its technology. Since then we have spent billions of taxpayers dollars while being left with radioactive waste. Now Durham politicians and lead- ers in technology want us to embrace International Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor (ITER), a research and development project that will use a tremendous amount of energy for the next 40-plus years, as the next fu- turistic step. Is this a wise decision, or should we aggressively promote energy effi- ciency and follow Denmark’s lead with fields of wind turbines? To learn more, tune into Garth Riley’s hour-long talk show, Wednes- day, May 29 on Rogers Cable. Beginning at 9 p.m., Dr. Murray Stewart, managing director of Iter Canada, and David Martin, from the Sierra Club, will join Mr. Riley in a debate. Our ancestors hadn’t any knowl- edge about pollution, global warm- ing, hazardous waste, or ozone deple- tion. It is my belief people are conserv- ative by nature and that only over the past several decades, because we have been constantly conditioned from every possible angle, have we become a society wasteful in both generating garbage and energy consumption. Those remembering the ‘50s era will recall the ‘Live better electrical- ly’campaign. Today, we are informed wind, solar power and other existing energy sources don’t have the large- scale capability to meet the world’s increasing demands. That would be true if we continue on the same path of unnecessary consumption. Will we go down in history as the generation that placed too much de- mand on the Earth’s resources with little effort directed towards sustain- able development? ❑ ❑ ❑ GREEN IDEAS: • Boil water in an electric kettle as it uses half the energy of a steam ket- tle placed on a stove range; • At work, create an ‘energy-effi- cient team’ as did the Rouge Valley Health Centre, where they recently initiated ‘Curly kilowatt’s new eco look’ — a backwards glance to see what equipment can be turned off; • By turning a dial, Fairmont Ho- tels & Resorts reduced a guest hot water system from 150 F to 140 F, saving the hotel $4,200 a year without sacrificing guest convenience; and • Join the Ontario Sustainable En- ergy Association (OSEA) Sunday, June 16 at the Ajax Community Cen- tre for the Scarborough/Durham ‘Community-based green energy workshop’.

Pair charged in truck trailer thefts, third suspect sought DURHAM ––Two Oshawa resi- dents are charged and an arrest warrant is out for a third person in connection with a string of tractor-trailer thefts. Search warrants executed by police in Durham and Belleville led to the re- covery of about $250,000 worth of property and two tractor-trailers taken from Coburn’s Transportation Systems in Oshawa, Sears Liquidation Centre in Pickering, and other businesses in Greater Toronto in recent months. The joint-forces investigation began late last year and police say the heists involved a combined total of approxi- mately $500,000 worth of goods. A stolen 1963 Ford Futura convert- ible is still outstanding and police would like to speak with anyone who may have information about the case. An Oshawa couple and a third per- son are facing a total of 59 charges. Ronald Maguire, 38, of Wilson Road South, has been charged with nine counts of theft over $5,000, 17 counts of possession of stolen property, as well as mischief, driving while dis- qualified, careless use of ammunition, possession of a controlled substance and fail to comply with a court order. Georgina Reid, 26, also of Wilson Road South, is charged with six counts of possession of stolen property, care- less use of ammunition and drug pos- session. Meanwhile, an arrest warrant has been issued for Ivan LeClair, 33, of Bloomfield, Ont., on charges of theft and possession of stolen property. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Detective Dave McFarlane at 905-404-1222, ext. 5713 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Ajax, Pickering mentoring program looking for support Volunteers, funds needed to keep Big Brothers and Sister matches afloat BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —The Big Broth- ers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering’s in-school mentoring program is look- ing for a lifeline. The program, which was started in 1996, is scrambling for volunteers and funding, according to program co-ordinator Francie Trajkovski. “It would break my heart if we had to pull the plug,” she said. In-school mentoring matches adult volunteers with male and fe- male students in a school environ- ment. The pairs spend one hour a week from September to June doing activi- ties that interest the student. “The mentoring program has be- come a launching pad for relation- ships to the regular one-on-one Big Brother program,” said Ms. Trajkovs- ki. “If people know there isn’t much time commitment, I truly believe more people would volunteer, they don’t have to spend four hours a week.” Ms. Trajkovski said the program only has enough money to last until December. “Royal Bank has been extremely generous over the years, providing us with $20,000. However, they have decided to spread the wealth,” she said. Royal Bank, which has been the program’s main sponsor since 1998, will be ending its relationship, giving a final sum of $5,000 in September. “It would be a travesty if we started the program in September, and then in January, we had to tell the kids ‘sorry, you’re done’.” Ms. Trajkovski added she is “be- tween a rock and a hard place. “I hate the position I’m in. We don’t have the volunteers or the fund- ing to go on much longer. It would be just another disappointment in a child’s life. That’s not what we’re about.” Although the program has been looking at adding more schools in the future, Ms. Trajkovski is hesitant due to the lack of volunteers. As of the beginning of May, the mentoring pro- gram had only two volunteers on the waiting list, and nine children. “We’re hoping that we can create a domino effect,” she said. “If we get the money, then hopefully, we’ll get the volunteers.” Durham’s Hearth Place the beneficiary of event DURHAM —Come hear the voices of angels.

Here are a few ways to curb aggression on the road, courtesy of www.allsands.com: • Let bygones be bygones. If some one is changing lanes and cuts you off, that’s an indication that the person may be prone to more aggresive driving behavior. Your best bet is to let the person have plenty of room. Use extra caution when shifting lanes by properly using your turning signals. • Back off. If you are driving slowly in the left-hand lane, be polite and move over into the right-hand lane, in order for the person behind you to pass. Conversely, if stuck behind someone driving slower than you are, relax, slow down, and wait for an opportunity to pass. • Keep your hands to yourself. If you want to avoid road rage, don’t use obscene gestures, shake your fist or point angrily at “offending drivers” on the road. However, this doesn’t mean you should feel free to shout at, criticize or insult other drivers instead. Any or all of the above can result in an angry response from the other driver. • The long arm of the law. Another thing to consider is the legal ramifications of road rage. Many provincial and local officials actually patrol the roads on the lookout for aggressive drivers. 905-420-5788 Fax: 905-839-7455 1-800-263-4431 www.pickeringtoyota.com 557 Kingston Rd., Pickering MON., TUES., THURS., FRI. 7:30 - 6:00 WED. 7:30 - 8:00; SAT. 8:00 - 3:00 365 Bayly Street West Ajax, Ontario L1S 6M3 Tel: (905) 428-8888 Fax: (905) 428-8904 SERVICE HOURS MON. - THURS. 7:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. FRI. 7:30a.m. - 6 p.m. SAT. 9 a.m. - 3p.m. VicVic Easy Pointers for Avoiding Road Rage Volvo Car Corporation NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 22, 2002 PAGE B1 A/P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 22, 2002 A.J.

Stumble drops Felicien back Pickering hurdler still finishes second at Big Ten championship PICKERING —A near fall on the last hurdle knocked a Pick- ering athlete off her record pace while competing at the Big Ten Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Madison, Wisconsin last weekend. The University of Illinois’s Perdita Felicien stumbled over the last hurdle after leading the entire 100-metre final, but man- aged to regain her balance to fin- ish second behind Danielle Car- ruthers from Indiana University in a time of 13.0 seconds. Up until that point, Felicien was on pace for the fastest time in Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associ- ation (NCAA) history. “I felt great for the first nine hurdles,” Felicien said in an inter- view for a story on the universi- ty’s athletic Web site. “I was run- ning the fastest I have ever run before — I think that is why I hit the last hurdle. It came up on me a little faster then I was ready for it to and that’s why I clipped it. I am just happy I was able to keep Guerrieri speeds to second Pickering driver enjoys successful weekend at Mosport PICKERING —A Pickering race-car driver hit pay dirt in his first race in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship series last weekend. Chris Guerrieri, 18, now racing for the LM La Scuderia Race Team of Montreal after leaving the Hyundai Motorsports team, guided his Ford-powered, Vector chassis open-wheeled race car to an unex- pected second-place finish at Mo- sport International Speedway in Clar- ington. A podium finish for a rookie dri- ver in the series was “unbelievable” noted Chris’s father and manager, Carman Guerrieri. After qualifying second without the benefit of drafting from his team- mate, who finished well back, Guer- rerri got off to a strong start. He was in fourth place after the first three laps of the 15-lap race and worked his way through the pack to second.

It is an online, silent auction service sponsored by the Durhamregion.com Network, and the Metroland family of community newspapers in Durham Region. Auctions hosted by auctiondurhamregion.com give Durham Region residents the opportunity to save on local merchandise and services. With plenty of items worth thousands of dollars up for grabs, it’s fun and exciting! What is Spring Event 2002? It is auctiondurhamregion.com’s Spring auction, the biggest and best in Durham Region. How does it work? Auctiondurhamregion.com is a silent auction. Instead of an auctioneer taking bids, the sophisticated online system (overseen by the Auction Trust Committee) manages the bidding process. Participants may place one bid at a time in an effort to outbid each other. However, there is a better way! Participants can use the proxy bidding system and submit a maximum bid. Why enter a “maximum bid”? Using a maximum bid allows a bidder to use the online system as a bidding agent or “proxy.” This is a convenience function. After a maximum bid is entered, the system will follow activity on an item and automatically place bids in the proper increments on behalf of the bidder. When it reaches the maximum bid, it will stop. (The bidder may, of course, enter another maximum bid.) If it wins the item at less than the maximum bid, it passes the savings on to the winner. Give me an example of how the maximum bid works. 1. Bidding for an item starts at $500 2. Bidder A determines that he is willing to pay $740 for that item and, therefore, submits a maximum bid of $750 for that item. 3. The system enters a bid of $500 (the opening bid) on behalf of bidder A, which is the minimum needed to make bidder A the highest bidder. 4. You determine that you are willing to pay $1000 for the same item; therefore, you submit a maximum bid of $1000 for that item. 5. The system enters a bid for $760 on your behalf, which is the minimum amount needed to make you the highest bidder. 6. The auction ends. You are the winner! You purchase the item for $760, plus applicable taxes. Do all items represent new products and quality services? Absolutely! Auctiondurhamregion.com brings value to participants. All items and services in the auction come with applicable warranties, just as if you purchased the item direct from the retailer. The selling prices listed reflect actual retail prices. Reserve values (see below) are set substantially less than this retail value! When does the auction start? Auctiondurhamregion.com’s Spring Event 2002 commences online at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, 2002, and concludes at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 1, 2002. Phone bidding is available during our call centre hours: Saturdays 9-5pm, Sunday 11-5pm and weekdays 4-8pm. Does my bid include tax? No. Successful bidders will be responsible for all applicable taxes on the items they purchase on their winning bids. (Taxes vary depending on the nature of the item.) What if I see multiple item numbers for one item? If you see four item numbers (for example) in a product/service profile image, there are four identical product/services up for auction. You will need to choose one item number that you want to bid on, and then submit your bid. Why participate? Local items are offered at significant savings. Moreover, bidding is competitive, exciting and fun! How do I participate? Find an item or service that catches your eye. If you need more product information, visit or contact the vendor. Decide how much you’re willing to spend, and register online as a bidder. Place your bid! If you win the auction, you are obligated to buy the item for the winning bid amount, and all sales are final. Bid early and bid wisely! Who is eligible to participate? Bidding is open to any resident of Ontario 18 years of age or over. Employees of participating businesses may bid, but not on items that are provided by their respective companies. How do I keep track of the auction? Go online to www.auctiondurhamregion.com! What is the ID code? The published ID code of a bidder protects the identity of a leading bidder while still letting that bidder know their status. The ID code consists of the initials of the bidder and the last three digits of the bidder’s phone number. What is “reserve status”? Reserve status tells you whether or not the reserve price for an item has been met. Each item has a reserve price. In the event that there are no bids for an item equal to or greater than this price when the auction ends, the item is not sold to the high bidder. (Unless the Auction Committee and the vendor agree to sell item at the closing price.) The reserve prices range from 50% to 65% of the actual selling price of the item. The reserve prices are fixed values that have been set by the Auction Trust Committee and will not be altered after bidding is underway. Reserve status may have one of two values: 1) Reserve not yet met: The value of the highest bid is less than the reserve amount, or 2) Reserve met: item will sell: The value of the highest bid is at least the reserve amount. The item will be sold. (Any Maximum Secret Bid that exceeds the reserve will automatically be placed at the reserve price.) What happens if I am the winning bidder? You will be contacted by email. For your convenience, your credit card will be debited for the amount of the item (plus applicable taxes). To pay by cash, certified cheque, Interac, or money order, you must contact us at 905.576.9335 or via email at auction@durhamregion.com within 24 hours after being contacted about your winning bid. Winning bid certificates and payment receipts will be available at a Metroland office near you. Once you pick up your certificate and receipt, you may visit the appropriate vendor. Bidding is as easy as... 1 Determine the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item you are bidding on. That will be your Maximum Secret Bid.

SCOREBOARD my balance and score for the team. I bruised my heel on the hurdle and it made it tough to run the rest of my races, but I wasn’t going to let my team down. We needed the points and I was going to be there. I’ll be ready for the NCAA meet in two weeks.” Earlier this season she qualified for a spot in the NCAA champi- onships. Prior to the 100m hurdles, Feli- cien ran the anchor leg for Illinois in the women’s 4-x-100m relay, help- ing the team to a second-place fin- ish. Illinois was edged out by the In- diana team, which won in 44.22 sec- onds. Felicien also ran the 100m where she finished fifth on her bruised heel, and was sixth in the 200m. The University of Illinois women’s track and field team fin- ished third overall, behind first- place University of Michigan and Indiana. FELICIEN from page B1 Felicien clips last hurdle, f inishes second Despite gaining ground on the leader, Louis-Phillipe Dumoulin of Tr ois-Rivieres, Que., he was unable to grab top spot. “Nobody knew who Chris was, but I think he woke up a lot of peo- ple,” noted Carmen Guerrieri. Guerrieri is scheduled to race in the next event on the Canadian For- mula Ford calendar: the FI race weekend in Montreal June 7 to 9. The series will also be in Toronto as a prelude to the Molson Indy in July. GUERRIERI from page B1 Guerrieri makes splash on racing series scene Please recycle your copy of the News Advertiser PICKERING —An operation to gather soccer equipment for inner-city Toronto youth was an un- qualified success. Pickering resident and soccer parent Randy Bulmer, who spear- headed the project after finding out inner-city kids in Toronto were without soccer equipment of any kind this summer, said a City of To ronto truck left the Pickering Soccer Club (PSC) office at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning loaded with all manner of soccer gear. Bulmer said he was over- whelmed with the response to his plea for soccer items, with numer- ous people pulling up at the PSC office to drop off items Saturday morning. “We got a lot of shoes and balls, everything pretty well,” said Mr. Bulmer, who noted most people were reacting to a story in the News Advertiser last week. He says one father and son showed up with 20 new soccer balls that were purchased at Canadian Tire strictly for the drive. As well, the PSC also turned over team shorts and tops. Bulmer said the initiative could expand to provide used soccer equipment to different countries. City residents show drive for those in need of equipment JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Randy Bulmer sorts through uniform and soccer equipment donations at the Pickering Soccer Club office Saturday. Bulmer put out a call to donate soccer equipment to inner city youth in Toronto who had none, and area people came through with an overwhelming display of sup- port. The City of Toronto picked up the equipment Tuesday morning. Pickering man writes, sings, does artwork for new CD BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —A self- styled one-man band has released a collection of his music that he wrote and has been performing since the early 1990s. Michael McNamara, a multi- instrumentalist who goes by the name ‘Michael M’, recorded the music for his debut CD ‘You and Me’ over the past two years, teaming up with producer Sean Gregory at his ‘The Recording House’studio in Toronto between September 2000 and February 2002. The folk and blues-tinged disc is totally McNamara’s cre- ation, as he wrote all the music and lyrics and played all the in- struments. In addition, the Pick- ering resident, who’s also an artist, rendered the artwork for the disc. The 19-song CD was a long time in its cre- ation, he said, noting the project was essentially finished last April, but he was unhappy with how it was mixed. “We remixed most of the songs, redid some of the vo- cals and ended up adding two songs and an instru- mental to the CD,” said McNa- mara. The common thread of ‘You and Me’, ex- plained McNa- mara, is the emo- tion of love, which bubbles to the surface in most of the songs. “It is based on a theme, in this case love, that is looking for love, finding love, experiencing love, losing love and then trying to re- flect on love lost. The first 15 songs reflect this theme,” he said. Playing music has been a large part of McNamara’s life since his father found a guitar in the garbage and brought it home to him in 1977 at age 14. Since that time, he’s been playing and writ- ing music, including gigs at cof- fee houses in the early ‘80s. He has performed at several of the pre-show tapings of Open Mike with Mike Bullard in Toronto over the past two years. Since ‘You and Me’ was re- leased last month, the disc has been shipped to Australia, In- donesia, South Korea, Mexico and the U.S. with other countries to follow. Michael M has a Web site at www.iammichaelm.com. McNamara does it all Pickering musician Michael McNamara has released his debut CD, a folk and blues-tinged collection of his own mu- sical and lyrical work.

The Forecaddie was floored to see rivals Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, ranked first and second in the world and not the closest of friends, having lunch together in the players-only din- ing area the day before the Byron Nelson began. Woods was seated at a table and talking with a reporter when Mickelson asked to sit down. “I enjoy talking to Tiger,” said Mickelson, who, like Woods, is highly competitive. “I think he’s a very interesting guy outside of golf. It’s not a big deal. I’m sure we’ll have lunch again sometime.” Mickelson said he and Woods “get along well,” and that their relationship isn’t (frosty) “like you hear and read about.” He said they don’t socialize because of different lifestyles. “I’m married with two children and he’s single,” says Lefty. “I don’t think Tiger would like coming with Amy and our two kids to a museum to watch fish.” CASTING CALL The USA Network doesn’t have a host yet and it doesn’t have a name for its show. But starting next January, the network will air a weekly one-hour program pre- viewing that day’s golf around the world. Golf’s answer to “The NFL Today,” it will air at 11 a.m. ET on Sundays. The Forecaddie couldn’t help but think exiled Golf Channel presence Peter Kessler would make the perfect host. But sources close to USA say Kessler has been considered and rejected for the job already. “He didn’t fit their demo- graphic,” the source said. Maybe Peter will wind up on Fox on NFL Sundays between Terry and Howie. RON’S WORLD TOUR Ron Drapeau,chairman and CEO of Callaway, was in Portland, Ore., for two days last week, walking the beat alongside one of his salesmen,Bill Crenshaw. Drapeau has done the same thing in Japan, Korea, Australia, Spain, France, Germany, England and Wales. Next up: Montreal; Toronto; Washington, D.C.; and Boston. “I want to know our customers,” Drapeau said. The Forecaddie would like to know how many other CEOs would wear out so much shoe leather — and whether tickets to Ron’s Tour are available at Ticketmaster. —Golfweek The USGA giveth the .860; then they taketh away. No way! ou see pieces. He sees peace. You see thunderclap. He sees calm. You see down. He sees up. David Duval hasn’t finished better than 12th place in 10 tournaments this year. In January, he broke off his engage- ment with Julie McArthur, his girlfriend of eight years. The same month, he hurt his right shoulder during a snowboarding fall and since has suffered tendonitis. The one week he played well, he suffered food poisoning and withdrew early in the Nissan Open final round. He missed the cut at his beloved Masters. His putting has been off. He found himself 100th in PGA Tour earnings entering mid-May. Worried about the shoulder, he underwent an MRI that showed no damage. Duval termed his season a “train wreck” in late March. Now he has a playful update. “It’s only gotten worse since then,” he said, smiling. “Turns out that train had toxic chemicals on it.” Then Duval laughed loudly for several sec- onds beneath those wraparound shades. He laughed and smiled often during a candid interview surveying the rubble of his 2002. He talked of finding peace and retaining high expectations. He figures he just hit a small bump on life’s long road. He says his swing is where he wants it. So save the urgent toll call to Doc Rotella, the mind mentor. “Life’s events just have happened to me more than in the past,” Duval said. “But it’s a nagging thing. I’ll be back. I’ll play great golf again. I expect good things. I’m here for the long run. I might have six months or a year that’s bad because of other stuff that’s happening, and I can deal with that. I’ve kind of gotten a bit of a peace with what’s happened this year. Golf is not the most important thing in my life.” The breakup with his fiancee has had an impact on his golf. He knows that. “Absolutely. That’s going to be hard on anybody,” he said. “That’s part of what I’m saying about life’s events happening. It affects your outlook and other aspects of your life. It’s hard to say how much that and my shoulder have been a factor. It’s just something that adds up, but it’s not something I’m particular- ly worried about.” When Duval, on the strength of his putting, won the 2001 British Open for his first major title, many expected his game to elevate, per- haps beyond the level of 1999, when he was ranked No. 1 in the world. His track record at all levels had been to break through, then move up. That hasn’t happened. Life got in the way of a game. He hasn’t played consistently at a high level since he hurt his back two years ago. Last year he suffered a wrist injury. Now, at 30, it’s a shoulder and some heartbreak. He jokes about what “joint might be injured next.” But he’s not accepting pity. “What do I have to feel sorry about?” Duval said. “I’ve won a major championship. I’ve won a Vardon Trophy. I’ve won the money title. I’ve won (13 Tour events). If I stopped today, I’ve had a nice career. I’ll be playing for five or 10 more years and these kind of things will happen. If I can minimize it to this one stretch, I’ll be OK. I’ve found the peace about how I’ve played and everything that’s happened the last couple of years. It’s about taking the good with the bad.” By his way of thinking, sometimes the negative can be all right. So it was in Augusta in April, where Duval missed the 36-hole cut after contending each of the previous four years. “In some demented sense, I had a great sense of relief when that (missed cut) hap- pened,” he said. “Just because of every- thing that had gone on, on and off the golf course this year. … In some weird sense, it was kind of a nice thing to not be a part of it on the weekend. I don’t mean that I did- n’t want to. But I wasn’t upset or dismayed by any stretch of the imagination. I felt I got a good bit of closure. I felt, ‘Now it’s done, I’m not a part of it, I’ve got three weeks off, and I’ll just forget about it and go.’It put everything in the right perspec- tive for me.” Duval’s outlook, of course, never will be confused with that of his friend Tiger Woods. One is fire, the other ice. The fact Duval says he might play only five or 10 years is telling. Woods is obsessed with Jack Nicklaus’record. Duval has said he wasn’t comfortable being No. 1 and does- n’t want to be again. Like fellow introvert Fred Couples before him, Duval disliked the role of expert spokesman that seems to accompa- ny the top ranking. He wanted to play golf, not be the sport’s ambassador. He says he was uncomfortable being No. 1 because he was viewed differently. “My answers were no different,” he said. “My knowledge was no different. I felt I was expected to know the answers to everything. I didn’t feel because I woke up Monday morning and the rankings said I was No. 1 that I had gained knowledge overnight while I was sleeping.” Before raising his game and tying for 15th at the Verizon Byron Nelson Classic, Duval gained happy knowledge that his shoulder is not badly damaged. He had traumatized it during what he called a “face plant” while snowboarding in Sun Valley, Idaho, his home away from home. In English, that means he jumped, landed, turned and, when the board’s front edge got caught in the snow, he fell on his face and right shoulder. Through therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs, he says, the shoulder should be fine by June if he’s a “good patient.” “I was stubborn about not getting it checked out,” he said. “I should’ve gone and had it done four months ago, but I just thought it was sore and stretched out.” Next he might check out Bethpage Black before it plays host to the U.S. Open. Bethpage, of course, is the first daily-fee Open venue, where golfers rou- tinely camp in the parking lot overnight to get a tee time. “I would like to (play Bethpage before the Open),” Duval said, “but I don’t really want to sleep in my car.” Then he laughed again. BY JAMES ACHENBACH Golfweek n Jan. 1, 2008, proclaims the U.S. Golf Association, all golfers will toss their “hot” .860 drivers in the closet and go back to their anemic old .830 drivers. Cinderella voluntarily will turn back into a chambermaid. Don’t bet on it. Once allowed to use these drivers with a coefficient of restitution of .860 (the five-year period begins officially on Jan. 1, 2003). golfers will never go back to .830. The truth: Most golfers will gain no more than a few yards with an .860 driver. Still, it doesn’t matter. Allow any golfer to hit that one tape-measure drive with an .860, even if it happens once a round, and he or she is hooked. “The R&A and the USGA believe, howev- er, that any further significant increases in hit- ting distances at the highest level are undesir- able,” the Joint Statement Of Principles released May 9 reads. The key phrase here is “at the highest level,” which refers to the world’s professional tours or even the world’s most important amateur tournaments. To me, it doesn’t seem heretical that Tiger Woods must play with an .830 driver, while Wally Workaholic can use an .860 driver. If golf is a game for all people, and that game actually is improved with two sets of equip- ment rules, will the USGA and the R&A have the sense and candor to admit it? I hope so. Active tournament golfers must realize one thing: They will be required to use, in most events outside the club or local level, .830 drivers and not .860 drivers. The scenario is predictable. Although a decision has yet to be made, the USGA undoubtedly will conduct all 13 of its nation- al championships under the “condition of competition” requiring the use of .830 dri- vers. Once this is announced, every other important amateur event in the United States (national, regional and state) will follow this example. The same goes for college golf. Ironically, the situation may be differ- ent in Great Britain. When asked if the British Amateur would require .830 dri- vers, R&A secretary Peter Dawson responded, “At this time, it is not our intention to invoke this condition of competition in the amateur game, although as the five-year period winds on, that may be something that changes.” The most intriguing date in golf is Jan. 1, 2008. Get ready for the revolution. LAST WEEK’S QUESTION Do you plan to buy a high-COR (.831 or higher) driver knowing that in 2008 you will not be allowed to use it in USGA and R&A sanctioned competitions?

Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com Advertising Feature Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune JEFF RUDE Golfweek Y Coefficient of restitution (COR) measurement is a reflection of how fast a golf ball will rebound off the face of a particular clubhead. What is the difference between .830 and .860? The rule of thumb, as expressed repeat- edly by the USGA, is an increase of about 2 yards per .01 of COR. The difference between the two drivers is approximately 6 to 9 yards in total distance (with normal turf conditions). However, this is calculat- ed in a standard robot test that uses a swing speed of more than 100 mph. Since very few golfers swing a driver that fast, the distance gain would be less. Why shouldn’t Tiger Woods play with an .830 driver, while Wally Workaholic uses an .860?
