But, very little public debate on the matter was heard Mon- day as both councillors Bill McLean and Mark Holland failed to collect the two-thirds majority required to get the re- quest in front of council. Sylvain Trepanier, president of the Pickering East Shore Community Association (PESCA), told councillors his group and the Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Envi- ronment (PACT), which both have standing at the June 10 OMB hearing, would probably be facing up to $40,000 in legal costs in their fight against the Pickering Harbour Company (PHC). PHC plans to build 66 town- houses on marina lands at the south end of Liverpool Road and move the boat cleaning and maintenance side of the marina across to the east side of Liver- pool. Twenty-six of the homes in the plan would front Liverpool and PHC plans to make eight of those with commercially con- vertible ground floors to ac- commodate shops and restau- rants. The City, which plans to turn the area into a tourist node, has asked that all 26 homes fronting Liverpool be commer- cially convertible and no others be built, leaving the marina maintenance and cleaning op- eration on the west side of the street. While defending the City’s position 66 townhomes would deter tourism in the area, PACT and PESCA also maintain building a development that large would have a devastating impact on the environment in and around the bay. “All we ask is that council match what is being paid by the community,” said Mr. Trepanier. “Twenty-thousand dollars for legal fees and expert witnesses... it’s worthy of the investment.” Mr. Trepanier asked that council make a quick decision WHERE TO FIND IT Editorial Page/A6 Sports/B1 Entertainment/B4 Classified/B9 GIVE US A CALL General/905-683-5110 Distribution/905-683-5117 General FAX/905-683-7363 Death Notices/905-683-3005 Sincerely Yours 1-800-662-8423 durhamregion.com shouston@durhamregion.com RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Flipped by an Olympian!

Meeting no funds for Pickering groups Durham youth meet to break down barriers BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM ––Young peo- ple from across the Durham Region came together recently to discuss barriers they face in their communities. Approximately 80 high school students gathered at the Ajax Community Centre to participate in the United Way Youth Workshops entitled ‘Sharing our Dreams, Building a Vision Together’. The work- shops, which also included teachers, parents and youth service providers from Durham, came together to identify root causes for the bar- riers preventing young people from fully participating in the communities they belong to, as well as forming project groups to develop strategies to over- come these barriers. “We’re hoping to bring in different sectors to talk about the barriers affecting youth, and to have a full integration of young people into the commu- nity,” said Paul Pakyam, chair of the youth vision committee for the United Way. “It’s important to get our voices heard,” said Marla Wal- ters, of St. Stephen’s High School in Bowmanville. Andrea Gray, also from St. Stephens, agreed. “We want to get a better awareness of youth activities,” she said. Mr. Pakyam admitted he is amazed at how many young people attended. “We now have an opportunity for youth to tell us what problems they feel they are facing.” “This is a time when we can all congregate, and for it to be a milestone to a better commu- nity,” said Tony Tie, an Ajax High School student. Barb Fannin, volunteer and youth co-ordinator for the United Way, is pleased with how the day went. “We had a good representa- tion from both the young and old population. So far is has been successful.” When asked why such a day is important, Marla explained it is to give people a better sense of what youth are and what stage they are in. “It helps to better our youth status, and to take down the view that we’re all bad.” Andrea believes the work- shops were a great way to ex- press the views and concerns of the youth community. “More people will be aware of the issues that are going on with youth,” said Andrea. Mr. Pakyam said he hopes the students will take away a better understanding of the problems they face and the many avenues they can take to prevent them. Ms. Fannin echoed these NICOLE MILLION/ News Advertiser photo Youth taking part in the United Way conference included (from left) Sarah MacKay, Tony Tie, Nathan Robertson, Stevland Anderson and Marla Walters. High school ‘sex clinic’sparks further debate Durham public board votes 6-4 to support ‘wellness centre’ BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Public school board trustees flung barbs at each other Monday night as they discussed the Wellness Centre at an Oshawa high school. But, in the end they reaf- firmed their commitment to the centre in a 6-4 vote. Some residents at the May 21 Durham District School Board meeting branded the centre at G.L. Roberts Colle- giate and Vocational Institute a “sex clinic”, arguing birth con- trol pills and condoms are being dispensed to students without parents’ knowledge, although the ministry and board curriculum teaches ab- stinence. The Oshawa Community Health Centre (OCHC) oper- ates the centre, leasing space from the board for $1 a year. It opened to students early last year and offers a wide-range of services. “The G.L. Roberts Wellness Centre is not a sex clinic,” Os- hawa schools superintendent Sally McIllveen said at the board’s standing committee meeting Monday. “That state- ment, made by individuals who are not the parties who attend the clinic, is inflammatory.” At the trustees’ request, she presented a report showing what services are offered there and how the clinic came to be in the school. Several trustees applauded when she finished speaking. However, other board mem- bers maintain housing a health clinic in a school is “prece- dent-setting” and trustees should have been involved in the decision. The board’s se- nior administration, not trustees, made the call early last year. “Who decides what is im-KATHLEEN HOPPER ‘There is sort of a hidden agenda here.’ AT A GLANCE Make the most of Home Week events...

Dianne Cunningham, minister of training, colleges and universities, last Thursday introduced the four-part Post- Secondary Education Opportunity Act, 2002, reintroducing bills that had re- ceived first reading in the last session of the legislature, including the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Act, 2002. Peter Hardie, executive assistant to MPP Chris Stockwell, the governing Tories’ house leader, said in an inter- view Friday the spring session of the legislature is slated to end June 27 and the house is to reassemble for the fall session Sept. 23. “There are a number of other bills that have priority over that,” he said. Mr. Hardie said the current session of the legislature was shortened because of the Tory leadership campaign and noted whether the act will be passed in the next month is not a sure thing. He did not know when it would be brought forward for second reading. “What we’re going to need for this one (to be passed in this session) is co- operation,” said Mr. Hardie. The act to establish the university would have been passed in December if all three political parties had agreed to bypass second reading and the commit- tee process and move directly to third reading. However the New Democratic Party, while not opposing the bill in principle, did not favour passing the leg- islation without debate. Peter Kormos, NDP house leader, said in an interview the government could have brought the original act for- ward for second reading, but instead has made the process more difficult by in- troducing a four-part bill. “The government introduced an om- nibus bill this time, which is inherently more difficult to deal with because it covers more disparate ground,” he said. “Quite frankly, an omnibus bill is more contentious with all oppositions than the original bill.” Mr. Kormos said the government is going to have to be “prodded to move along here, one bill or the other. “For the constituents involved, I hope this government calls this for sec- ond reading as soon as possible. The government has to establish its priori- ties; either Durham is a priority or it isn’t.” Gary Polonsky, UOIT and Durham College president, in an interview said he is “certainly hopeful and yes, cau- tiously confident” the act will be passed by the end of the session. “The government is aware that it has announced (the UOIT) over a year ago, that we are expected to be a major solu- tion to the double cohort...,” he said. “I believe that leadership and common sense will prevail.” Mr. Polonsky expects it to be differ- ent this month than it was in December. “The NDP has told us they will not be obstructionist this time around, we have that in writing,” he said. “We truly accept that they are people of their word, so I’m feeling at peace about that as well.” Mr. Kormos defended the party against the claim they were “obstruc- tionist” in December, saying, “it’s our job to debate.” He said Mr. Polonsky was not helping matters with the re- mark. “I’m sure that Mr. Polonsky would not want to be responsible for this bill being delayed,” said Mr. Kormos. Mr. Polonsky said UOIT has hired its entire leadership team, chosen an archi- tect and done a lot of other work to get ready for September 2003. “It’s fair to say the non-passage of the bill in December has not slowed us down,” he said. “But if that happens again, it will slow us down to the point that we will not be ready for the double cohort in 2003.” A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002 sentiments, adding the youth in atten- dance at the workshops were able to eloquently express their concerns. “We found a lot of talent here today.

The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) made the request to trustees at Monday night’s Durham District School Board standing com- mittee meeting. “We are here to tell you that the need for spe- cial-education supports and ser- vices has not di- minished or re- mained static; it continues to grow,” said SEAC represen- tative Cindy Mitchell. SEAC is call- ing for 40 more educational as- sistants to make up a shortfall in high schools and to cover 68 high- needs students it knows are enter- ing kindergarten this fall. As well, SEAC said the board needs more special-ed- ucation resource teachers in ele- mentary schools and academic re- source teachers in high schools to support ex- ceptional stu- dents placed in regular class- rooms. The committee is also calling for no reduction to special-education facilitators. In a report accompanying the first draft of the board’s budget, business superintendent Ron Trbovich said the board did not receive $5.5 million in ‘intensive support amount’ (ISA), special-education funding he said it proved it needs but has not received from the Province. Mr. Trbovich in the report said the board in this year’s budget would continue its $2 million subsidization of special education. In an interview he said the money the board is owed would “absolutely” meet its special-education needs. First draft of budget shows $4.2 million shortfall; elimination of 13 positions BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s public school board has a $4.2-million shortfall for the coming school year and will like- ly rely on reserve money to balance the budget. Ron Trbovich, the Durham District School Board’s business superintendent, presented the first draft of the 2002/03 budget at an education finance commit- tee meeting. It identifies the cutting of 13 staff positions, including two admin- istrative officers, and employee wellness and maintenance programs, together to- talling $830,000. Mr. Trbovich said in an interview the draft document “pro- tects all the areas of the budget, mainte- nance, special education, everything”, but the board is still short of funds. He said the rainy day has arrived to use the board’s $2.5 million in reserves. “The only reason I would contem- plate that is in the knowledge the fund- ing formula will be reviewed with re- spect to its adequacy and fairness,” said Mr. Trbovich. The Education Ministry recently an- nounced a review of the funding formu- la that boards say does not provide enough money. The review is to be completed this November. Mr. Trbovich said the board needs $1 million from the Province to maintain its $2-million subsidization of special edu- cation, $650,000 to fund its Internet learning program, $300,000 to cover salary hikes that take effect in 2002 and $600,000 for increased employee bene- fit costs. The board also requires $1.7 million to avoid relying on its working reserve fund to once again balance the budget. He plans to “come up with some options for the board to consider” at the next budget meeting on June 11 at the Education Centre in Whitby. But unlike the Toronto District School Board, which last week passed a motion refusing to make further budget cuts until the funding formula review is finished, the public board has no plans to challenge the Province in that matter. Boards are not permitted by provincial legislation to run budget deficits. “There’s no way we would be con- sidering a deficit budget; we’ll find a so- lution, that’s our job,” said Mr. Trbovich. Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford said in an interview while she doesn’t believe the funding formula re- view will result in more money for boards, “we have to try our best to bal- ance our budget.” She said she “admires Toronto for what they’re doing”, but suggested they will not be successful. “My own feeling is it’s not good enough for one board to do it,” said Trustee Crawford. “If we’re going to do it we all have to do it. If it’s going to be effective it has to be all the boards.” Referring to a report presented to trustees Thursday night, she noted the board’s shortfall does not take into ac- count $5.5 million in ‘intensive support amount’ funding the board feels it qual- ifies for but has not received from the Province. “We’re probably going to have to look at draining the reserves, or a good portion of them anyway,” said Trustee Crawford. “It is being looked at,” board chair- man Elizabeth Roy said of using reserve money. She expressed concern doing so wouldn’t be responsible because pru- dence dictates there should be some- thing left in the bank in case of unfore- seen emergencies. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said she believes “there’s nothing left” to cut in the budget and expects a rec- ommendation from Mr. Trbovich to use up its remaining discretionary reserves — even though that goes against tradi- tional board practice and thinking. “The philosophy all along has been (maintain) five or six million in re- serves,” she said in an interview. “That’s changed. I can only think Ron knows what he’s doing. I think he’s going to drain the reserves to meet the shortfall, but I don’t know.” The finance committee invites the public to make budget deputations at its June 11 meeting in Room 2007 of the education centre.

But, the community group’s request came too late for any councillor to fol- low the normal procedure of notifying council two weeks in advance of any motions. To accommodate the 11th-hour re- quest, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Holland asked for leave to introduce a motion, which would allow it to be heard if two thirds of council agreed. His request was denied as council- lors David Pickles, Dave Ryan, and Mayor Wayne Arthurs voted against it. Coun. McLean then introduced a simi- lar request asking that approved fund- ing for legal fees the groups did not use in a 1998 OMB hearing regarding a waste transfer station on Notion Road be redirected to them now. However, councillors Ryan, Pick- les, Rick Johnson and Mayor Arthurs voted against hearing the motion. Coun. Pickles said he voted against hearing the motion because he had hoped to deal with the matter behind closed doors. “I wanted it discussed in-camera,” he said in an interview Tuesday. “It was my intention to have a debate on the matter, I hadn’t made up my mind yet. I just thought since it concerned our legal strategy it was best done in- camera.” Council did go in-camera following the discussion, but Coun. Pickles said the matter never came up. While Coun. Holland admitted it would probably be too late for PACT and PESCA, he did give a notice of motion regarding the funding, which council will likely hear and debate later this month. portant enough to come to us?” Pick- ering Trustee Paul Crawford asked. He doesn’t doubt the centre meets a need in the community, but said the decision to approve it “should have been run by us”. Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen asked education director Grant Yeo if trustees would be consulted when school space is leased. “Not necessarily,” he replied. Mr. Yeo said the partnership with the OCHC “is within the philosophy and values we have in this board”. Trustees are entitled to change the board’s values, he added. “I would think anything as prece- dent-setting as a health clinic in a high school is trustee business,” said Oshawa Trustee Susan Shetler. She motioned the board strike a committee to look into the board’s leasing agreements and policies. However, that sparked some fire- works. “I find it appalling that we would be thinking of putting together a committee and the real issue is birth control pills,” said board chairman Elizabeth Roy. “It’s about individuals who believe birth control should not be given out, and condoms.” A committee is not needed, she said, adding, “if trustees would go into their schools they would know what’s going on in their schools.” “Trustees are being verbally abused by the chair(man),” Trustee Steffen responded. She said the committee should have been struck before the clinic started. Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper said trustees criticizing the process of approving the centre “is definitely micromanagement. “I think there is sort of a hidden agenda here and it doesn’t have any- thing to do with the wellness clinic.” Student Trustee Brandon Reeve said he agreed with trustees Hopper and Roy. “The public and the students are not blind; they realize there is a dif- ferent issue behind this; to deny it is ridiculous,” he said. Trustee Shetler said the clinic in the school represents “two conflict- ing agendas,” those of the education ministry and the health department, and it is appropriate to sit down and look at the board’s property leases. “That is our role, and that is what we should be doing,” she said. Trustee Shetler agreed personal agendas are involved, saying they are getting in the way every time the board discusses important business. Her motion was defeated. Trustee Doug Ross then moved the original recommendation from former Os- hawa superintendent Kaye Egan sup- porting the partnership with the cen- tre.

The 55-year-old constable, who began his career with the Pickering police department a year prior to the 1974 creation of the regional force, was killed in a head-on crash Thursday in north Whitby. A police funeral with full honours was scheduled to take place this afternoon at Kingsview United Church, with thousands from Ontario’s law enforcement community expected to attend. Mr. Ryan, the popular asso- ciation leader who colleagues said “gave his heart and soul” to the service, was northbound on Lakeridge Road when his car collided with a southbound van police allege crossed the centre line. Mr. Ryan, who was return- ing to his Oakwood home and was off-duty, leaves his wife, Carol, two sons, Kevin and Jamie, and three grandchil- dren. The van’s driver suffered injuries that were not life- threatening and was taken to Ajax and Pickering Health Centre, where he was arrested by police. He was discharged from hospital Sunday and charged with impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death and ex- ceeding the legal limit of 80 mgs of alcohol per 100 mls of blood, police said. Following a hearing in Oshawa court, Scott A. Webb, 37, of Georgetown, was re- leased by a justice of the peace on $20,000 bail with condi- tions to stay in his residence except for employment or at- tending court. Other terms include he not consume alcohol or drive. He is scheduled to appear in court June 14. Meanwhile, an Ajax woman officers were speaking to as a potential witness at the crash scene was herself arrest- ed and charged with impaired driving. Police allege she was trav- elling behind the van prior to the fatal collision and that NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002 PAGE A5 A/P Fax it: 905-683-7363 Thousands pay respects to police association president both drivers had just left a “social function” at a near- by golf club. Mr. Ryan was in his third term as Durham po- lice association leader and represented 900-plus uni- form and civilian person- nel. He was also current chairman of the Ontario Police Association. Gun, knife, bat used in robberies BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING ––A teen struck with a bat in a forest, a 19-year-old jumped at a bus stop, a 17-year-old threatened with a knife, and a 20- year-old with a gun pointed at him were all victims of weekend street robberies, police say. Durham Regional Police said thugs were brandishing weapons in three of four city muggings, although no one was seriously hurt in any of the attacks. The 20-year-old, who had just withdrawn money from a bank, was getting into his car in the lot at 1360 Kingston Rd. at 1 p.m. on Friday when a man opened his passenger door, pointed a gun, snatched his wal- let and fled. The suspect was described as black, 20-years-old, 5-foot-6, 180 pounds, with his hair in cornrows and wearing a bright yellow T-shirt and black jeans. About 5:20 p.m. Saturday a 19- year-old man was jumped and robbed of his wallet by two suspects at the bus shelter at Kingston and Whites roads, police said. Nearby a short time later officers spotted two youths who matched the suspect descriptions and they were ar- rested following a foot chase, police said. Armand Pavel Puiu, 18, of Edge- wood Place, Pickering and a 17-year- old, who police said was talking on a cellphone when arrested, are both charged with robbery. On Sunday, three assailants wear- ing ski masks, one armed with a knife, robbed a 17-year-old boy of his cash and cellphone in the area of Dixie Road and Finch Avenue about 1 a.m., police said And, at 2:30 a.m. another 17-year- old walking through a wooded area at Dellbrook Avenue and Denby Street was hit on the arm with a baseball bat and struck in the head when he fell to the ground, police report. Three attackers took cash from his pockets. The victim was not hurt. GM sales skyrocket in May DURHAM ––May was a great month for car and trucks sales for Gen- eral Motors of Canada. The automaker announced it deliv- ered 58,162 vehicles last month, up 21 per cent over the same period in 2001. Car sales jumped 20 per cent to 32,045 while truck sales went up 22.3 per cent to 26,117. “We are just smashing sales records here at GM Canada,” said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing. “We sold more trucks in May than in any other month in our his- tory. We had our best May since 1989. And, we sold more cars in a month than we have since June 1991. At this rate, 2002 could be our best year in the past decade.” During May, GM also learned Os- hawa’s No. 1 car plant, which makes the Buick Century and Regal, earned the 2002 J.D. Power gold quality award for the best quality among all assembly plants in North and South America. The Century was also ranked tops for pre- mium mid-size cars. Sales of the car were up 47.2 per cent during May, with 2,108 sold. Other big sellers made in Oshawa include the Chevrolet Impala, with sales of 2,200, an increase of 43.3 per cent over May 2001.

I live with my husband John. I am a homemaker and mother of four. I volunteer as a foster mother for newborn babies. I lost a remarkable 71 pounds in eight short months without dieting. I went from a chubby size 20 to a trim size 10! This is my true-life account of genuine, lasting weight loss success. I had read the hypnosis’ ads for months. Frankly, I was skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. Then I saw a special report on the News. It featured folks who had quit smoking and dropped weight with hypno- sis. One lady said she lost over 90 lbs. She said hypnosis made it simple. That got my attention. I honestly didn’t think the people in the ads were real until I saw it on the 11:00 News. Now it’s happened to me and I have my own true story to tell. Embarrassed and Ashamed I dreaded my year- ly visits to the doctor. My weight was climbing at a rate of ten or more pounds a year. It was dangerous for me to gain weight. My blood pressure and choles- terol were sky high. My joints were stiff and ached constantly. I could barely lift myself out of a chair. My health was in jeop- ardy. Yet I couldn’t stop eating. I was out of control. I was a career snacker. I sat on the sofa, watched TV and ate. I sat at the kitchen table, read the newspaper and ate. When I fed my foster babies, I fed myself too. I lived on sweets and soda pop. Food seemed to have some mysterious power over me. I ate all day. With every expansion of my hips and thighs my self-con- fidence withered. I was embar- rassed, shy and reserved. Dieting was the most confusing and frustrat- ing experience of my life. Diets made me crave and binge. The only way I lost weight was by starving myself. I lost ten pounds once. Then I gave up and my weight came right back plus ten pounds more. My self-esteem was demolished. Immediate Results I was nervous when I called for the appoint- ment. I didn’t want to be pressured. The free hyp- notic screening was a wonderful surprise. My consultant was genuinely interested in me. The high-pressure sales pitch never happened. She explained hypnosis in a relaxed, entertaining way. She went over the guarantee. I was impressed. If I couldn’t be hypnotized, I would get a full refund. I had nothing to lose except a lot of fat. I signed up. My new eating habits started immediately after my first session. My hunger pangs disappeared. My taste for soda pop van- ished. I found myself craving healthy foods. Fruits and vegetables tast- ed different. It was like my taste buds came alive. One day I was walking through the grocery store. I marched right past the bakery, candy, chips and soda without a glance. That’s when I was con- vinced. Hyp- nosis had com- pletely changed my taste. Doctor’s Delight! My last visit to my doctor was a thrill! My doctor nod- ded his head with delight. He confirmed my 71-pound weight loss. For the first time in my life my blood work and cholesterol are normal without pills! I feel fantastic. No more aches and pains. No more cravings or binges. Best of all, hypnosis eliminated dieting for good! Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effort- less. I know I will never gain the weight back. All the changes are permanent. I have a whole dif- ferent way of thinking about what I put into my body. I never feel deprived. Self-Confidence Soars! When I was overweight I was extremely withdrawn. Some days I hardly spoke a word. I thought everyone was judging me. My self-worth was zero. When the weight came off I felt better about myself. Hyp- nosis helped me relax. I gained a feeling of inner peace. I knew I was back in control of my life. One Sunday my minister asked me to stand up in church to announce how much weight I had lost. After the service folks surrounded me to ask how I did it. I was completely comfortable chat- ting away with them. I couldn’t believe it was me! So relaxed! So confident! There are now seven members of our church using hypnosis. Includ- ing my husband, John! He’s already lost 30 pounds! My entire family has changed thanks to hyp- nosis. My son lost 22 pounds. My 83-year-old mother lost 18 pounds. We’re saving money on our food bill every week. What a bonus! Twenty Years Younger I thought I’d never wear a bathing suit again. On the 4th of July I gazed at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a sexy black and purple one-piece suit. I loved what I saw! I wore it that day and many days since. The best day of my life was spent filling two giant boxes with fat clothes I’ll never wear again. People say I look twenty years younger. They wonder why I’m always smil- ing. I have tons of ener- gy. I’m light on my feet. I have a social life! I owe it all to the power of hypnosis. Invaluable! My results at using hypnosis are invaluable to me. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. I believe in hypnosis. I’m certain you’ll be as thrilled as I am. I know because I’ve met lots of other folks who are getting results like mine. They’ve shed 50, 60, even 90 pounds with ease. Call Now and Schedule your hypnotic screen- ing. It’s absolutely free and there’s no obliga- tion. Ask about their no-risk guarantee.

PICKERING, ON FREE ADMISSION & ENTERTAINMENT www.frenchmansbayfestival.com The way we were Old Home Week c. 1961 In 1961, the Town of Ajax celebrated its 20th an- niversary as a community during ‘Old Home Week’. Sponsored by the mayor and council, invitations were sent to all Ajax ‘old-timers’, especially encouraging any who had moved away to revisit the town and see the progress it had made in the previous 20 years. The theme of the week, ‘Powder to pencils to progress’, depicted the town’s birth from the Defence Industries Limited shell-filling plant in 1941 to a seat of education for the engineering students of the Uni- versity of Toronto in 1945, and finally to the planning of Ajax as it stood at that time. The Ajax Kinsmen Club has sponsored annual community events such as sports day competitions since the 1950s and played an important part of the 1961 celebration. Its 1971 project was the forerunner of Ajax Home Week, the 2002 version of which begins this Saturday, as we now know it.

The Paul Martin dismissal/resignation was actually a long time coming. For years now, even going back before the November 2000 election, Mr. Martin’s and Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s supporters have not seen eye-to- eye. Mr. Martin has eagerly waited in the wings for the PM to decide to call it a day, while Mr. Chretien, who takes personal credit for winning three straight majori- ties, feels it is his decision alone when he retires. It was a stalemate that would produce no real winners, only losers. The question becomes, what will Mr. Martin’s re- moval from cabinet mean to the federal government and opposition? The larger issue is how Mr. Martin’s cabinet leaving will impact the country. For nearly a decade, Mr. Martin was the ideal No. 2 man to Mr. Chretien. He spoke with class and dignity, had no skeletons in his closet, and showed his ability by helping eliminate the deficit, marshalling huge tax breaks for citizens and businesses and leaving the econ- omy in much better shape than he found it. To businessmen and financial leaders in government and out, whether in Canada or outside, Mr. Martin was the face of the Canadian government, not Mr. Chretien. Mr. Martin’s sudden departure is a major blow to Cana- da on the international stage. It only diminishes us around the world. For Mr. Chretien, the decision is puzzling. He can’t help but see Mr. Martin as his successor — really, it’s not a matter of will Mr. Martin be prime minister but when. It now seems clear Mr. Chretien intends to lead the Lib- erals, whether they like it or not, into a fourth federal election in two years’ time. Fighting a battle against Mr. Martin while trying to deal with the Canadian Alliance, Bloc, Conservatives and NDP would seem a tall order in- deed. The Martin fiasco also falls hot on the heels of the fir- ing of Defence Minister Art Eggleton, the resignation of Brian Tobin, and a lacklustre loss of two byelections in seats in Windsor and Newfoundland that the Liberals had held for decades. The polls show a serious loss of confidence in the Lib- erals and suggest for the first time in years the Alliance is starting to make progress. Mr. Chretien is hypocritical if he blames Mr. Martin for wanting a chance to lead. The PM has only to look to 1986 when, frustrated at losing the Liberal party leader- ship to John Turner in 1984, he quit and then worked to push the leader out. Mr. Chretien won the leadership in 1990 beating... Mr. Martin. Certainly, Mr. Martin, who has served his leader for 12 years, has been much more loyal than Mr. Chre- tien ever was to Mr. Turner. Obviously, that’s lost on Mr. Chretien, who may now be writing his own grim epitaph as PM. It’s clear only the Liberals can beat themselves, but infighting takes the focus off the important work minis- ters must do for us. Liberal mess only hurts country Ongoing leadership battle between Martin, Chretien must be resolved P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002 Proud members of Premier Ernie Eves is trying to show he is a moderate and gentle guy at heart - but will anyone be- lieve him? In only a few weeks in his job, the Progressive Conservative pre- mier has moved quickly attempting to demonstrate he is different from the far-right policies and confronta- tional style of his predecessor, Mike Harris. Mr. Eves’s actions have includ- ed launching a review of Mr. Har- ris’s decision to privatize the giant hydro transmission system, al- though he still has not ruled out selling it, and providing protection for hydro consumers who sign up for service. Mr. Eves conceded pay deals Mr. Harris allowed senior hydro staff were too generous and consid- erately agreed to base his law to protect drinking water on a New Democrat MPP’s draft bill Mr. Harris had left to wither and die. Mr. Eves promised friendlier re- lations with the Liberal federal government, which Mr. Harris could barely speak to politely. Mr. Eves agreed to a request eye treatment be covered by medicare to which Mr. Harris had remained blind. He rebuked a minister who said insensitively no one should ex- pect shelters for the homeless to be as comfortable as Holiday Inns, a remark that reminded of Mr. Har- ris, who once scoffed many live on the streets by choice. Most reversals bear Mr. Eves’s stamp. He pushed changes when ministers hesitated, as, for exam- ple, when Energy Minister Chris Stockwell insisted the Province should pay bar bills he and his staff ran up while working late in the labour ministry. Mr Eves said the right thing would be to re- imburse taxpayers, and they did. Mr. Eves has started talking to unions and others to whom Mr. Harris would not give the time of day and does not sneer at their lead- ers, who are elected like himself, as “union bosses,” as Mr. Harris did until his last day. Mr. Eves, who faces an election probably next year, claims he al- ways has been a pragmatist and close to the political centre. He says he is a cross between Mr. Har- ris and William Davis, the moder- ate Tory premier from 1971-85. No premier in memory taking over an existing government has changed policies or tone as much as Mr. Eves appears to be doing, so there is no precedent as to how his extraordinary re-birth will be seen by voters. But Mr. Eves’s changes will ap- peal to some. Hard-line right- wingers who idolized Mr. Harris will feel Mr. Eves has gone soft on them, but feel closer to him than to Liberals and New Democrats and support him with slightly dimin- ished enthusiasm. Some not committed ideologi- cally to any party, who liked Mr. Harris for his tax cuts but were starting to feel he went too far in cutting services and antagonizing, will find the type of changes Mr. Eves has been making enough in- centive for them to vote Tory again. This already worries the Liber- als, who would have preferred to keep the political centre to them- selves and fight the election against a Tory right-winger like Mr. Eves’s chief rival for leader, Jim Flaherty. Many voters will not pass judg- ment until they see how far Mr. Eves’s moderate approach will go. He has not indicated for instance whether he will change Mr. Har- ris’s laws that weakened labour in disputes with business, or restore cuts Mr. Harris made in welfare benefits or increase the minimum wage Mr. Harris never raised in seven years. But Mr. Eves’s shift to modera- tion also carries some risks. A little over a year ago he was Mr. Harris’s deputy premier, happily imple- menting his far-right policies with- out the slightest dissent. His abrupt change now makes him look as if he has no convictions or principles, which is what his ri- vals suggested in the leadership campaign. A lot of voters will conclude Mr. Eves is changing his mind merely to win votes, which is not the way a premier wants to be pictured going into an election. Eves aims to show he’s no Harris New premier a moderate at heart –– but does anyone believe him? Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 5, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Column ‘irresponsible journalism’ To the editor: Re: ‘Environmentalists should choose battles carefully,’ Martin Derbyshire column, May 26. I’m sorry, but I think he’s missed the mark. Mr. Derbyshire is wrong in his description of the actions of the people trying to stop the agricultural preserve from being included in the growth management study. He’s commenting on groups and people he needs to do a little more research on before making such statements. And name call- ing? ‘Tree huggers’ and ‘weed worshippers’. Would his comments include Pickering councillors Mark Hol- land and Dave Pickles? They are afraid of the same thing a lot of people are — that including the preserve it will open up the door for it to be paved over. I think it’s dangerous planning when developers are allowed to pave over everything, and leave nowhere for me and my neigh- bours’ children to play, or even walk our dogs. It bothers me developers are on campaign contribution lists and are paying for the growth study. I want to ensure they aren’t expect- ing something for it. I attended the meeting dealing with the preserve and I’m not against growth, I’d just like to see it done better. Mr. Derbyshire’s wrong to state everyone is against growth. I just don’t want to end up like the north end of Markham. Instead of squashing the aver- age citizen (as I am) from partici- pating in protecting our green space, I think he’ll find he’s only spurred it on. He should try the Friends of the Rouge Web site and get an ed- ucation before making such dam- aging statements. It’s truly irre- sponsible journalism. Bonnie Littley Pickering Hug a tree, it’s better than kissing the pavement To the editor: Re: ‘Environmentalists should choose battles carefully,’ Martin Derbyshire column, May 26. Conservation and preservation will only serve to ensure the exis- tence of mankind. So, who is anti- man? It took over 25 different en- vironmental groups and many, many concerned individuals to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine from Caledon to Clarington. Does Mr. Derbyshire even know why the moraine is so im- portant? For one, it is essential to our water supply. He should do his homework — the agricultural preserve has already been found to contain No. 1 and 2 class farm- land (that’s why it was preserved in the first place). At a time when we have raw sewage dumped into our Great Lakes, among other things, ground water contamination (Walkerton), smog alerts all sum- mer (less trees, more smog), asth- ma at epidemic levels, less green space, fields, wetlands and forest areas, Mr. Derbyshire is discour- aging responsible environmental thinking from the average person? Having the power of the media, he should be encouraging some ac- tion from the average people. Instead of condemning envi- ronmentalists we should all be thanking them. Mr. Derbyshire is the irresponsible dangerous one and the one who should be stopped. I’d rather be hugging a tree, than kissing the pavement. I’m going to join my local environ- mental group today.

TOOLS NOT TOYS Remember to keep matches and lighters out of reach of children, and although some lighters have c hild resistant safety devices, this does not mean that they are child proof. It only takes a few moments for an unsupervised child to gain access to lighters or matches; and the consequences can be deadly. The moment you take to educate your children about the dangers of fire may be the moment that you save their lives. OUTDOOR FIREPLACES - USE PROHIBITED Outdoor style fireplaces currently sold in the Pickering area such as the “Back Yard Max” (a steel firebox with a screened opening and short vent stack) and the “Chiminea” (a large clay fire pot with an opening for a fuel load and a short vent stack) should not be used in the City of Pickering. These units have been designed to be used as open-air burning appliances. Open air burning is not permitted within the City of Pickering and is enforceable under Ontario Fire Code Article 2.6.3.4. Concerns regarding the use of these devices include: injury to persons coming into contact with the appliances hot surfaces, fire exposure hazards from sparks/embers for both the users and neighbors property and adjacent trees, grass and weeds. The use of these devices will also generate needless alarms for the City of Pickering Fire Services. Contact the Pickering Fire Services at 905-420-4628, or, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca. for more information. 2002 EVENT SEASON a ten minute drive to the past!

The Durham MP and 16 other federal legislators got an “eye-opener” from law en- forcement officials last week during a briefing on the recent proliferation of residential pot-growing operations plagu- ing the province. Officers from Durham Re- gional Police, OPP and other Ontario forces met with MPs in Ottawa for a presentation organized by Mr. Shepherd. Mr. Shepherd said until re- cently he was not aware of the size of the problem. Police have shut down more than 70 sophisticated drug homes in Durham alone this year, while other forces in the GTA are reporting similar numbers. Police say each hydropon- ics lab yields an annual cash crop of between $1 million and $2 million and that profits far outweigh the risk of getting caught. “I didn’t know how signifi- cant the problem was until I started investigating,” said Mr. Shepherd, adding he was prompted by concerns voiced to him recently by firefighters and real estate agents. Police say labs siphon power from illegal under- ground hydro hookups, which pose a risk of explosion to un- suspecting firefighters enter- ing a home in the event of a blaze. Several house fires have been sparked by residential labs. Mr. Shepherd said the forum included discussion about the biohazardous danger to children living in the homes, the need for tougher sentences as a deterrent and the violence associated with the drug business. Three re- cent murders in Ontario have been linked to indoor marijua- na grows. “It was quite an eye-opener. It is a significant problem that has exploded in our communi- ty... It’s a blight on the com- munity,” Mr. Shepherd said. “One of the concerns raised was sentencing” and the need to “send a stronger message to the judicial system,” he said. Typically, convicted mari- juana growers in this region receive six to 12 months’ jail time but in the U.S., mass pot- production is treated as a “se- rious crime with serious con- sequences,” said Mr. Shep- herd. He suggested stiffer terms and larger fines would put a dent in the billion-dollar busi- ness, which police say is more profitable than the forest in- dustry.

Your pet will be healthier and happier, and you will be saving lives. Many people just aren’t aware that there is an overwhelming and tragic pet over population problem. Last year alone, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services took in 658 stray and homeless pets - an increase of 27% over the previous year. Far too many of these pets do not find a new home and family. There are just not enough good homes for the numbers of animals being born. And because people aren’t aware of the problem, they often allow their own pets, either accidentally or on purpose, to add to the crisis. Of course, all baby animals are adorable and it is hard to accept that these little miracles of life could bring anything but joy into the world. Sadly, the reality is that for every new pet baby born one more potential home is taken away from the hundreds of already born homeless animals waiting and hoping for a second chance. Your pet will be better off too! An altered pet is a more content, gentle and affectionate pet. And an altered pet is a healthier pet, less likely to get mammary or testicular cancer, less territorial, no messy heat for females, and males less likely to wander in search of the ladies. By far the majority of pets hit by cars are unneutered males! Please help us end the pet overpopulation tragedy. Make an appointment with your vet today! S.

Safe Kids Week runs this week across Canada. To mark the week everyone is invited to learn about bicycle safety at a Headsfirst education session today, June 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Kids Safety Village, 1129 Athol St., Whitby. Headsfirst is a bicycle hel- met use and safe cycling pro- gram which educates cyclists aged 18 and younger. It is co- ordinated by the Durham Re- gion Health Department and the Headsfirst Bicycle and Edu- cation Coalition. The program enforces bicycle helmet laws, as outlined in the Ontario High- way Traffic act, and provides bicycle education as an alterna- tive to attend court for not wearing a helmet while cycling. “Normally these sessions are limited to individuals under 18 who have been given notice by police for not wearing a hel- met while cycling. We’ve found there’s a great interest from the community and we’re inviting everyone to attend this special session,” said Joan Segal, a public health nurse with Durham Region Health Depart- ment. According to the health de- partment, 51 hospital- izations occurred in Durham in 2000 due to bicycle-related injuries with 60 per cent of the hospitalizations occurring to youth under the age of 20. In 2001 a survey found Durham residents are aware of safe cy- cling practices, and 72 per cent of youths age five to 17 always wear a bike helmet. For more information on Headsfirst contact the Durham Region Health Department at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841- 2729, ext. 3147.

BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM - It has never been more expensive to get a post-sec- ondary education. With tuition fees skyrocketing, the demand for expen- sive yet necessary books, computer software and laptops requires big bucks. With federal and provincial gov- ernment cutbacks on funding to uni- versities and colleges, institutions of higher learning have no choice but to raise tuition fees. Although Canadian post-secondary education is still relatively inexpensive com- pared to what it is in the United States, it is becoming financially difficult for the average student to realistically afford a quality educa- tion. A recent survey by the United Nations committee charged with de- termining whether or not Canada re- mains in compliance with the UN’s International Convention of Eco- nomic, Social and Cultural Rights, sums it up. “The average student debt at graduation seems to have almost tripled since 1990,” reads question 59 of the survey. “What steps are being taken to ensure that post-sec- ondary education remains equally accessible to all, regardless of in- come?” Time will tell. Student loans, bur- saries, grants and scholarships can help. But even the most brilliant scholars, whose parents are well off, have to think about climbing costs let alone clothing, recreation, enter- tainment and transportation. Costs can really jump if students live away from home to attend school when accommodation, food, telephone and return travel also have to be fac- tored in. What is a ‘poor’ kid to do? For many students, the first step is sim- ple. Get a job. Easier said than gone. If students didn’t have their resumes into Durham Region municipalities at the beginning of the year, they’re out of luck this summer when it comes to working for their home- town governments. The Municipality of Durham Re- gion, for example, has hired 128 students for summer work with only a few positions left at two of the Re- gion’s homes for the aged. “Applications should have been in by January-February,” confirms Pat Robinson, corporate communi- cations manager for Durham Re- gion. “Students usually send them in during their reading week and we began looking at them in March, al- though they’re (the students) not on strength until the beginning of May.” Because Durham Region is so di- verse, the chance of a student doing summer work in the same area as his field of study is good. Legal, health, social work and public works are but a few of the departments Ms. Robinson says can offer students much-needed income, and a chance to gain some practical experience. The deadline for summer job ap- plications at General Motors in Os- hawa was also last March. “It looks like we are hiring any- where from 300 to 400 students,” says GM spokesman Richard James, “for the June-September timeframe. “They’re essentially vacation re- placements for our employees when they take their vacations,” he says. “The types of jobs differ throughout the organization, obviously, but es- sentially, the vast majority of them are operator positions with perhaps some administrative positions ... the vast majority are operator jobs in the assembly plants.” Enter Kim Sorlie and her team of summer employment officers - all students themselves - helping other students find summer jobs. “There’s not too much of a differ- ence from last year,” says the lead summer employment officer with Human Resources Development Canada’s Oshawa office. “It’s pretty consistent and there may be a few more jobs.” Students are welcome to go into any HRDC office where nine sum- mer employment officers like Ms. Sorlie, who was hired by HRDC last summer, work in five Durham Re- gion locations: Bowmanville, Pick- ering, Uxbridge, Port Perry and Os- hawa. One of three HRDC’s Student Summer Job Action initiatives, the summer employment officers help students looking for work, especial- ly those who haven’t worked before. Working in concert with programs like wage subsidies offered to em- ployers who create summer jobs for students, the employed HRDC stu- dents help their peers with resumes and interviewing techniques, trying to match them up within the pro- grams. Ms. Sorlie says there are about 200 placements with employers re- ceiving subsidies. Applications for that program had to be in last April but she’s hopeful about another 100 non-funded jobs will become avail- able. But whatever a student’s needs or plans, she says she and her col- leagues try to help them find full- time or part-time summer employ- ment. “Or we can help them through the school year,” she says. All the services provided by HRDC’s Student Summer Job Ac- tion program are free. Internet ac- cess, photocopying and help with cover letters to go out with resumes, are offered at no charge at the local employment offices, formerly known as ‘Manpower.’ “We can help students throughout the summer and even during the school year,” says Ms. Sorlie, who will be heading back to Hamilton this fall for her fourth and final year at McMaster University. Like her, the gainfully employed university student says the students she has seen so far this year are “very enthusiastic.” Types of jobs she’s seen filled by students range from placements in retail stores, to law offices, to paint- ing, to cutting grass. “If we don’t have a job, we will help students to list their skills and give them infor- mation on where to go, be it HRDC’s job bank, the job board (at one of the area offices or the federal department’s) Internet Web site. For those students looking for their first job, they may be a bit more needy.” This is where the ‘Odd Job Squad’ comes in. An employer may be looking for students to take on a part-time or even a ‘one-time’ task but it does allow the student to earn some money and to add the all-im- portant word ‘experience’ to his or her resume. “Sometimes students are sur- prised at how much experience they already have,” says Ms. Sorlie. She and other summer employment offi- cers also go into schools to make presentations. “We show students what a re- sume looks like,” she says. “And we talk about workplace safety and stu- dent employees’ rights and obliga- tions. We tell them (students) about the things they can ask an employer for to make themselves safe.” A/P PAGE A12 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002 Please Recycle!

The Trojans team had nu- merous medal-winning efforts under adverse weather condi- tions at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Central Region Track and Field Championships at St. Theresa’s Catholic High School in Midland. All told, 17 Trojans finished in the top four in their respec- tive events and will continue on to the OFSAA Track and Field Championships in Belleville June 6 to 8. Leading the Trojans was team captain Cameron Saha- dath, who won the junior boys’ 110-metre hurdles crown in 14.79 seconds. He also ran to gold in the junior boys’ 300m hurdles in 40.40 seconds, win- ning the event by a two-second margin.

Felicien conquers hurdles to capture national crown Three Pickering collegiate athletes compete at NCAA championships PICKERING —Three Pickering track athletes ran at the pinnacle of U.S. col- legiate sports on the week- end, but only one was on the podium at the end of the meet. Perdita Felicien, a ju- nior at the University of Illinois; Anson Henry, a se- nior at Washington State University, and Shelley- Ann Brown, a junior at the University of Nebraska, all participated at the National Collegiate Athletic Associ- ation (NCAA) Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. But, it was the Fighting Illini’s Felicien who stole the show as she won the national championship in the women’s 100-metre hurdles with a time of 12.91 seconds. Felicien is the first Uni- versity of Illinois female track athlete since 1996 to win a national title. It also represents back-to-back national titles for the Cana- dian Olympian, as she won the 60m hurdles at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships earli- er this year. It’s the first time in the school’s history that an athlete has won both indoor and outdoor national crowns. The Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School graduate, in a story on the University of Illinois athletic Web site, notes she still has an NCAA record to achieve in her senior year next sea- son, although she’s ecstatic to win back-to-back NCAA hurdles crowns this year. “Tonight was perfect in that I set out to win an out- door national title before the start of the season and I was able to do it,” she said. “I really wanted to break the NCAA record in the PERDITA FELICIEN Back-to-back hurdles champ for Illinois. SHELLEY-ANN BROWN Fifth in 100-metre hurdles at NCAAs. Notre Dame looks to keep its fairy tale ball season alive AJAX —Cinderella is going to the ball... make that ball tournament in Ot- tawa this week. The Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School Cougars boys’ baseball team — in its first year of Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) play — surprised itself as well as the favoured Pickering High School Tro- jans 4-1 in the semifinal contest at Port Hope’s Town Park Monday morning. Because of time constraints owing to declaring representative teams for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) regional play- downs, Notre Dame will be one of the two Durham representatives for OFSAA play and will serve as the re- gion’s number-one entry in Ottawa today (Wednesday). The LOSSA final will be played June 14 at a time and location to be de- termined. Notre Dame will play Bow- manville High School, which defeated Courtice High School 12-2 in the other semifinal at Port Hope Monday. Playing in the regional playdowns and beating an established team like Pickering in the LOSSA playoffs could only be termed a pipe dream for an up- start Notre Dame team at the start of the season. A lot of hard work, a little luck and, perhaps, some divine intervention along the way played roles in helping the Cougars advance, noted co-coach Greg Kieszkowski. “The guys are really excited about moving on. It took a lot of guts to get this far. Prayer had a lot to do with it. We said ‘Hail Mary’before every game and we thought it had a lot to do with (our success). We asked for any help we could get and we think we got some,” noted Kieszkowski. After Pickering High scored the first run of the game in its half of the first in- ning, Notre Dame pushed two runs across in the bottom of the frame. Mike Dahiroc scored the game-winning run on an RBI by Willie Neadles. The Cougars scored two more insurance runs in the second inning to seal the deal. Chris Papalia sparkled on the mound to earn the win. The Cougars will play in one of four regional tournaments against Golden Horseshoe league champion Notre Dame from Burlington, Toronto Dis- trict league champion Northern Colle- giate, National Capital league champ Hillcrest and Capital District runners- up Nepean. Winners in the four region- al tournaments will vie for the Prentice Cup at Toronto’s SkyDome June 11. Kieszkowski said he’s unsure about the Cougars’ chances in Ottawa, but he’s sure his team will put up a good fight,even without the services of pitch- er and team leader Papalia, who won’t attend because of another baseball com- mitment in Oklahoma. “We’re having a Cinderella season, so absolutely anything is possible. I’m confident that you might see us at Sky- Dome,” he said.

Pickering High’s midget boys’ 4-x-100m relay team of Finn, Gordon, Lopez and Brown captured the gold in 47.04 seconds. T.J. Gibbs and Akiel John led the Trojans in the senior boys’ division, with Gibbs winning the high jump and John capturing the triple jump. The Trojans’ senior boys’ 4-x-100m relay team of Jason Jordan, John, Sahadath and Gibbs won the gold in 43.85 seconds. Also booking their tickets to OFSAA were Lawrence with a fourth-place finish in the ju- nior boys’ triple jump; Jordan with a third- place effort in the senior boys’long jump; John with a fourth in the senior boys’ long jump; Kemika Richard with a silver medal in the ju- nior girls’ triple jump and Sommer Blackman with a third in the senior girls’ triple jump. The Trojans’ open boys 4-x-400m relay entry of Finn, Sahadath, Lopez and Omar Green finished third and qualified for OFSAA. Athletes from other Ajax and Pickering schools also qualified for OFSAA at the Cen- tral Regional meet. Leading the list was Dun- barton High School’s Nikkita Holder, 15, and Pine Ridge Secondary School’s Tabia Charles who each won three gold medals. Holder won the midget girls’ 100m gold in 12.26 seconds, the 200m in 26.22 seconds and the 80m hurdles in 12.46 seconds. She also qualified for OFSAA as a member of Dunbar- ton’s junior girls’ 4-x-100m relay team with Charmaine Rhoden, Jennifer Evans and Janel Cunningham. The Dunbarton team won its heat, but wound up fourth in the final. Meanwhile, Charles won gold in the junior girls’ 100m, 200m and the triple jump. Paul Martin of Pine Ridge won double gold in senior boys’hurdles events. Martin won the 110m hurdles in 15.29 seconds and also placed first in the 400m hurdles in 56.22 sec- onds. Other notable achievements: Leigh Cushnie of Pine Ridge won gold in the senior girls’ 400m hurdles and silver in the 100m hurdles... Ajax High School’s Elan Pessoa won the long jump and placed second in the 100m... Dun- barton’s Coujoe Johnson struck gold in the ju- nior boys’triple jump and finished third in the long jump...

I am really excit- ed.” Her victory was a come-from-be- hind effort as she broke from the blocks more slowly than she would have liked, but kept her composure and quickly made up ground and, at the eighth and final hurdle, was in the lead. In the 100m hurdles final with Fe- licien was Shelley-Ann Brown, 21, a Dunbarton High School graduate on scholarship to the University of Ne- braska. She finished fifth in the final in 13.38 seconds. Brown finished 14th overall in the preliminary heats with a time of 13.39, which pushed her into the semifinals where she finished fifth in a time of 13.34. The fifth-place finish in the final was totally unexpected for Brown. “My goal at the beginning of the year week was just to make it into today’s final,” said Brown in a story on the University of Nebraska’s ath- letic Web site. “Placing fifth in the event is an incredible feeling. I just didn’t really expect to make it this far. I’m so happy.” Meanwhile, Henry, 23, also a Dunbarton graduate, ran in the men’s 100 metres final at the NCAA cham- pionships, but a leg cramp decimated what could have been an outstanding finish to his collegiate career at WSU. Henry finished a disappointing eighth in the final after he suffered a cramp 40 metres into the race, run- ning in a time of 11.16. The time was also a disappointing one as he had run much faster in the preliminary heats and the semifinals. Henry fin- ished fourth in his preliminary heat in 10.23 seconds and later finished third in the semifinal heat in a time of 10.25 seconds to qualify for the final. Felicien also ran the 4-x-100- metre relay at the NCAA champi- onships, helping the University of Illinois women’s team to sixth place. The sixth-place performance was somewhat unexpected as the Illinois women’s team entered the event with the eighth best time in the na- tion this year. NEWS AND NOTES:Brown was named the ‘Huskers Power Female Athlete of the Year’ for 2002. The award’s in recognition of an athlete who made great strides in athletic conditioning and training, through the use of the University of Nebras- ka’s weight room complex. A series of tests are conducted to measure the amount of improvement in each ath- lete. A/P PAGE B2 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 5, 2002 ‘The power of childhood dreams’ Olympian Daniel Igali delivers powerful message to local students BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —The man responsible for an indelible image from the 2000 Summer Olympic Games left an inspi- rational message of the power of dreams last Friday afternoon. The television image of Canadian wrestler Daniel Igali, fresh after beat- ing his opponent in the gold-medal match at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia, running around the Canadi- an flag and then gingerly bending down and kissing the Maple Leaf has endured as a lasting memory for Canadians. Two years after his Olympic mo- ment, the Nigerian-born wrestler, who immigrated to Canada in 1994 after the Commonwealth Games in Victo- ria, B.C., was at Pickering High School to bring a positive message to students who packed a gymnasium for his presentation, part of the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Association’s ‘Keep sweating Ontario Tour’. His day also included visits to Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby and a Scarborough school. Igali imparted the message one would expect to hear: the value of hard work, dedication and staying in school and how it culminated in the pinnacle of Olympic success. But, mostly, he urged students to follow their childhood dreams, no matter how difficult they might be to realize. “When I was 10 years old, in 1984, a Nigerian Olympian (wrestler Appah MacAuley) was speaking to us about the Los Angeles Olympics. That’s when my dream of going to the Olympics took shape. He told us about 20 different foods and you could pick what you wanted to eat and he flew on a plane to L.A. I started thinking if I went to the Olympics I would get to go on a plane. It was about a plane and not about Olympics. For 16 years, a vow I made to myself when I was 10 years old kept me going,” said the soft-spoken wrestler. “There was a little voice in the back of my mind saying that if I don’t go to (wrestling) practice, I can say good- bye to the Olympics. So, don’t under- estimate the power of childhood dreams.” Igali’s life story is inspirational in and of itself: He lived an impover- ished existence in the Nigerian village of Eniwari with his grandmother and 21 siblings while his mother and fa- ther attended university in England. He came to Canada with $50, while asking a complete stranger to help him stay in the country following the Com- monwealth Games of 1994. All the while, he had to move away from fam- ily and friends in Nigeria. He noted his arrival in 1994 marked a crossroads in his life and it was far from an easy decision as he was an African champion in wrestling. But, the deteriorating political situa- tion in Nigeria at the time, however, proved too much to ignore. “It was a defining time in my life as I decided to stay in Canada. It was the only way to improve my life and the only way to become the person I saw myself becoming. “The political situation was unsta- ble with military rule. There were no rights and you could easily disappear. I was a staunch student activist and I was worried if I went back. I wanted a university degree and I wanted to be a better wrestler. I would have had to give up one or the other in Nigeria. I did not want to give one up — I want- ed to do both.” Igali also noted in life, as in sports, losing is always more valuable than winning. He noted along the way to his 1999 world championship win and his Olympic gold medal, he had many disappointments, including placing 11th out of 13 wrestlers at the 1994 Commonwealth Games. “Losing is something you can take a lot more out of than winning. It teaches you a more valuable lesson than winning; losing is as necessary as winning,” he said. He also urged students not to get caught up in the material world. “Life is about what you do for oth- ers and the people close to you. It’s not about a house, money and cars,” he said, adding proudly that, despite his Olympic success, he continues to live a modest lifestyle, including dri- ving a 1992 Honda Civic. Igali constantly gives back to wrestling and to students whenever he can. Apart from his current speaking engagements in Ontario, he also does weekly school visits in B.C. His phil- anthropy also includes plans to build a proper six-room school in Eniwari and he’s got several Ontario schools on board to help him raise the necessary funds. Following his presentation, stu- dents asked a series of questions. The engaging wrestler also took part in a forum with Pickering High’s ‘Path- ways to Excellence’ group, which en- courages student leadership, as well as a wrestling clinic. Igali, a Vancouver resident, said he plans to continue his studies at Simon Fraser University toward a master’s degree in criminology. As for wrestling, he’s preparing to compete at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. “If I did it once (win gold), I can do it again. I want to be a two-time world and Olympic champion; that’s what keeps me going,” he said. The messages contained in his pre- sentation, which drew two standing ovations, weren’t lost on students. “I thought it was a very simple (message) but true,” said Grade 11 student Ricardo Harripaul. “I’m from a Third-World country, too, and it re- ally touched me. It’s good to see that people who are honest and good can get somewhere in this world.” WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo Olympic gold medallist Daniel Igali strides into Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby to give a presentation to students there last Friday. The decorated wrestler also paid a visit to Pickering High School in Ajax on the same day.

The Dolphins lost their league debut 43-0 at Pine Ridge Secondary School Sunday afternoon. Forgettable pigskin debut for collegiate Dolphins Burlington hands new team 43-0 loss; bantams drop close game PICKERING —The Ajax- Pickering Dolphins’ new colle- giate football team got the season off on the wrong cleat at Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pick- ering Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, the bantams fell to 1-1 on the season after a close loss to Burlington. The Dolphins collegiate team, for players 17 to 20 years old, made its debut in Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) play with a 43-0 loss to the Burlington Stampeders. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ bantams gave the Stampeders all they could handle before falling by a close 40-36 score. Bantams head coach Jim Bardgett noted time was the enemy of his charges as their comeback attempt fell just short. “I’m not disappointed at all with the team,” said Bardgett. “We had Burlington worried. If we had a bit more time we could have pulled off a win. The boys know that they can beat Burling- ton, which is important; most teams do not score that many points against them, let alone nearly win. I’m sure their coach- es know that they will have a struggle with us in the playoffs.” The Dolphins led 16-11 at the half, but a strong offensive surge by Burlington put them in the lead early in the second half. Both teams, however, took turns with the lead throughout the sec- ond half, before the Stampeders took over for good in the late stages. Joe Dublin led the way for the Dolphins with two touchdowns and two two-point conversions. Ryan Bardgett provided a touch- down and a two-point conver- sion. Oliver Salmon and Jonathan Alvarez chipped in with one major apiece. Both Dolphins teams are on the road Sunday, June 9 as the Dol- phins play Etobicoke Eagles at Burnhamthorpe Collegiate. The bantams play at noon, followed by the collegiate game at 3 p.m. The next home games are Sunday, June 16 at Pine Ridge when the bantams host the Markham Raiders at noon; the collegiate squad hosts Markham at 3 p.m. AJAX —The Ajax Spartans mosquito rep baseball team started its 2002 diamond season with a gem of an effort against Brighton recently. Commencing the season on the road in Brighton, the Spartans clobbered the hosts 23-3. The Aja- cians received strong pitching per- formances from Raihaan Patel and Kyle Lewis, who combined for the win. The bats were in fine form, with multiple-hit games by Lewis, An- drew Ward, Todd Blair, Thomas Fearon and Wayne Feltham. Colton Kennedy, Chris Barclay, Ward, Blair and George Halim supplied the Spartans with strong defence. The local mosquitoes also exhibited speed on the base paths with Lewis, Blair, Fearon, Kennedy and Patel stealing multi- ple bases.

Krystal Riches has been a dancer for as long as she can re- member and has loved every minute of it. Now, at the age of 20, her love affair is starting to pay off. After auditioning for ‘Sing! 2002 — Excite the Night’, a Vegas-type show with singing, dancing and a live band, Riches beat out about 70 other dancers to earn a one-year contract for the show, which opened three weeks ago at Deerhurst Resort in the Muskoka region. “Dancing is everything to me. It’s pretty much my life,” she said. According to Riches, the show has a “little bit of every- thing”, including songs by Frank Sinatra, The Beatles and Britney Spears. “I like it be- cause it’s entertaining... and it’s a great workout.” She admitted the audition was a little frightening, espe- cially when they asked her to sing. “I had never really sung be- fore. I mean, I can carry a tune, but it’s not exactly my strong point,” she said. Getting the job was a dream come true, she said. “I was really overwhelmed. I wasn’t expecting to get it... there were people way more ex- perienced than me,” said Rich- es, who’s moved away from home for the first time, which she admitted was a little fright- ening. “It was kind of weird, every- thing was so different, but I’ve met a lot of great people,” she said. Riches said aside from the fun, there is also a lot of hard work involved. “The rehearsals were very intense. We sometimes had 14- hour days. It’s a lot of work, but it’s a lot of fun.” When she looks to the future, Riches said she still sees herself dancing, and hopes to one day work on a cruise line.

BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer DURHAM — One-nighters, tours, covers, power-pop, imper- sonators. The music scene is its own world. And while there are plen- ty of people trying to be the next Rolling Stone or Madonna, some are carving out a different niche for themselves. Ajax-based duo Two for the Show play about 300 one- nighters a year, says Rob Tyler, half of the group. In addition to its club work, the pair played at Toronto Rock lacrosse games and will perform at Ottawa Renegade games this summer when the Canadian Football League returns to the nation’s capital. There’s also Not By Choice, a group of Ajax guys who went to high school together and are hoping for a big break, much like another Ajax band, Sum 41. Then there’s Bernie Jessome, a 60-year-old Courtice resident who’s keeping busy as a Roy Or- bison impersonator, doing work with the Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll show. Mr. Jessome has been in the music business for 25 years, hav- ing his band on the side while he worked in human resources for the Port of Toronto. “I hooked up with the Leg- ends a few years ago. I always liked Roy Orbison, so that’s the artist I chose,” he adds. “I’ve done my own stuff. I did my own stuff for 25 years. Legends has taken me all over the world. Mr. Jessome says he’s “blessed” to have the same vocal range as Orbison, adding, “With a lot of makeup and dressing, I can look close to him.” He’s just completed a tour of Michigan, and does between 30 and 40 shows a year. He plays guitar and sings, usually accom- panied by a five-piece band. There’s a market for the Leg- ends-style shows, Mr. Jessome adds, noting a play about Buddy Holly has been staged in London for 15 years. “Shows are pretty well world- wide. We get around. There’s a fairly high de- mand for this,” he states. Two for the Show, mean- while, is “a fun way to make a living,” Mr. Tyler says, whose part- ner is Allan Mackay. The music and comedy show is “all I’ve ever done,” Mr. Tyler says. Being in the entertainment business isn’t as easy as one would think, he adds. “Without blowing my own horn, I said it re- ally takes an enormous amount of disci- pline to do what I do. Nobody tells us where to be. We have to be proactive,” he says. “It’s a myth that you can sleep in all day. You’ll be gone in a week (doing that).” In addition to the National Lacrosse League’s Rock, which played to packed houses at the Air Canada Centre and the Rene- gades, the group is also involved with the Vancouver Indy. “It’s a challenge when you leave town,” he says, noting going on the road “isn’t as easy as playing a local club. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” He likens it to “swinging at the ball a lot harder.” Not By Choice is in the early stages of what they hope is a ful- filling career, says Glenn ‘Chico’ Dunning. He and Mike Bilcox began playing “power-pop, punk rock” together about six years ago. They average four to five shows a month and they’ll be playing EdgeFest July 1 at Mol- son Park in Barrie, an event that attracts about 35,000 people. Nickelback is the headliner. “It sells out every year. There are 20 bands and three stages,” Mr. Dunning says. “We did two dates on the Warped Tour. It’s the same type of thing (as Edge- Fest), but it’s more for punk bands.” At SkyDome it attracted be- tween 17,000 and 18,000 people, while the Montreal show had 35,000. While still working, he wants to make music his career. Mr. Dunning plays lead guitar and sings backup, while Mr. Bil- cox plays guitar and sings lead vocals, A.J. Bovaird is on bass and Liam Killeen drums. Mr. Bilcox does most of the writing. “The songs are all his,” Mr. Dunning says. “After he writes the basic song, he sings it to us and we all add our individ- ual parts. It makes it that much better.” They’ve put out two CDs and have sold about 2,400 copies in the Toronto area. “You can’t make any money playing other people’s songs. We think our songs are pretty good,” Mr. Dunning states. Could doing cover songs take away their creativity? “I guess that could happen, if you don’t believe in yourself. Doing covers is cool, but a lot go to shows for bands they don’t know. They do covers so they can relate to oth- ers,” he says. “You can’t do a lot just doing covers. “Playing covers is a great way to start playing better. You can learn riffs and solos. You can learn how to play. It’s how we learned.” He picked up skills listening to Green Day and Nirvana. “You can hone your skills,” Mr. Dunning says. “If you want to make it, you have to write songs. Eventually, you’ll start writing good ones.” As for being the next Sum 41, “we’re trying. Things are going good. They help us out a lot. They really put their input in. They’ve gotten us on some cool shows. We played with them twice. In 2000, we opened up for them. “They helped us get on the Warped Tour last year. We’re doing a Canadian tour in Sep- tember with Sum 41. We’re opening for them.” They’ll do 11 shows over 19 days, stretching from Halifax to Vancouver. “It’s going to be awesome. We’re really excited about it,” he says. “Right now, we’re shop- ping for a record deal. We’re using the demos. We’re getting a good response.” The group’s next show is at Jokers in Toronto, although it’s for people 19 and older. Rob Power and Ajax Region- al Councillor Scott Crawford have their own version of a Two for the Show. Tabasco uses the motto ‘Camp fire fun in a bar’ and plays guitars along with pre- recorded background music. Mr. Power looks to Two for the Show, saying “look where they are. As a recipe for success, why not look at what they did.” Mr. Crawford adds, “This is my job. The other pays the bills. That’s why I hate playing in Ajax. I talk to people about their property taxes.” They play weekends at the Puck and Beaver Pub in Ajax and every Wednesday at the Fox and Fiddle in Uxbridge. In addition to music, Mr. Power works as a comic with Yuk Yuk’s, doing mostly corpo- rate events as opposed to club dates. He’s also a magician and a disc jockey. Mr. Power goes by the name Malibu Bob and he calls himself “an entertainer. “Our theory has always been to screw around. This is a little hobby, the little hobby that could.” As for how long they’ve been together, Mr. Power says, “Too long. Three years. It’s a project we do off and on. We took most of last summer off.” Tabasco hadn’t produced any promotional material until re- cently, Mr. Power notes. The (business) cards are “a conscious step, to let’s make a go of this for the summer. See how far we can go.” Mr. Jessome has a pretty good idea of where he’s headed. “There’s enough of this work to keep me going,” he says. Being Roy Orbison is “my job. I can take on so much work, but I can’t turn any of it down. I like to travel and I like doing it.” With a Legends show, he’ll do five Orbison songs, but if it’s the Roy Orbison Story, it’s a two-how presentation, from his beginnings to his time with the Traveling Wilburys. “A lot of good friends are doing people still with us and they’re very good,” he says. “The Legends are people no longer with us. People grew up with the music or are curious. They can see a person no longer with us.” Orbison was 52 when he passed away in 1988. “If Mick (Jagger) can keep going, so can I,” he quips. “This year is shaping up to be a big year,” he adds, and that in- cludes a show on June 8 at the Jubilee Pavilion in Oshawa.
