He said up to 200 trucks a day have been dumping fill on a piece of private property on Hwy. 7 west of Kinsale Road for the last four years. “We can’t have our windows open on dry, hot days because of the dust, it’s unbelievable. A neighbour said when he came back home after leaving his open he had an eighth of an inch of dust all over everything in the house. And, on the wet days the roads are filled with wet muck.” Mr. Van Der Vecht led a group of residents who have been complaining about the 75-foot-high mountain of fill and who question what exactly is being dumped to officials at the Ministry of the Environ- ment and the City of Pickering. Following a March protest in front of the property that saw 30 residents and striking Ontario Public Service Em- ployees Union members parad- ing signs up and down Hwy. 7, the City laid charges against the directors of Kinsale Prop- erties Limited in April for op- erating the filling operation as a business in contravention of its agricultural zoning for the property. However, property owner James Sabiston, who will face the charges in court next month, has maintained in sev- eral interviews that only clean fill is being dumped at the site and in March the Environment Ministry visited the property confirming just that.

Pickering looks to fill gap in rules Disappearing trees spark outrage in Pickering Altona committee wants to know who is cutting, vandalizing forest BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —Resi- dents surrounding the Altona Forest are getting a little ner- vous. Over the last few months several hundred trees have been stolen or vandalized, re- sulting in thousands of dollars in replacement costs, says Larry Noonan, Pickering resi- dent and co-chairman of the Altona Forest Stewardship Committee. “You can really see the missing trees. You can stand in one spot without moving and count 45 trees missing,” he said. Damage is estimated at $88,000 for the vandalized trees, and about $10,000 for the missing trees. According to Mr. Noonan, the vandalism began about two years ago, and had stopped until recently. “There hadn’t been any- thing (recently) until now. Ten to 12 more trees have been cut down in other areas, 127 have been cut and just left there,” he said in listing one area of concern. Mr. Noonan said he has seen several youths in the area, but was not close enough to identify them. Along with the vandalism, he claims there have been over 200 trees that have been stolen in the last two months. Residents are also con- cerned about several small fires being set in the forest. “We’re getting nervous... these kids don’t take any pre- cautions. “They set fires at the base of trees... we’re worried about them starting a forest fire,” he said. Durham Regional Police, which has been contacted by residents, is working with the group to set in place new ini- tiatives. “We’re trying to get bike patrols in there, as well as general patrols, but manpower is a big issue,” said Sergeant Mike Chesson. Sgt. Chesson added that if caught, culprits will “ab- solutely face criminal charges”, but admits those charges will be based on what and whom police find. “It has to be substantiated by the evidence,” he said. Mr. Noonan warns resi- dents not to approach any sus- picious people, but to call the police immediately. “This is not necessarily something that the public has to become personally in- volved in. “We just want to urge resi- dents and parents to be on guard and to be alert to what’s happening,” he said. He noted residents and local authorities, including the police, fire department and Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority are all committed to catching the thieves. “We want to get people out enjoying the trails. The forest won’t last much longer if this continues,” he said. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Pickering resident Larry Noonan says theft and vandalism in the Altona Forest are taking their toll. Area residents have contacted police, who are now monitoring the situation. AT A GLANCE Father knows ‘best present ever’ PICKERING —The Daniels family will always look back fondly on Father’s Day 2002. Doug and Kelley Daniels of Pickering won the second prize of $238,594.90 in the June 15 Lotto 6/49 draw. Mrs. Daniels was checking the lottery numbers on June 16, Fa- ther’s Day, when she discovered the news. “I checked the ticket on Sun- day and was alone all day. Doug was in Montreal; when he re- turned, I gave him the good news. It was the best Father’s Day pre- sent ever,” Mrs. Daniels said. Kelley, 39, works part-time as a sales representative, while Doug, 43, is currently unem- ployed.The couple have one son. They plan to do some home renovations and invest the re- mainder. The winning ticket was bought at the Becker’s store on Finch Av- enue in Pickering. Custodians, Durham board ratify one-year contract DURHAM —Custodians and other maintenance workers in local public schools have reached a one-year deal with the Durham District School Board. Trustees ratified the new col- lective agreement at Monday’s board meeting, approving a 1.65- per cent pay increase retroactive to April 1, and a further 2.65-per cent hike March 31, 2003 for em- ployees in the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ (CUPE) custo- dial-maintenance unit, Local 218. The pay increases and schedule matches the deal reached last week between the board and its educational assis- tants, also CUPE Local 218 members. The custodial-maintenance employee group, numbering ap- proximately 400, approved the deal Sunday by a vote of 82 per cent. At the end of next March, hourly wages will range from $15.45 for a cleaner to $22.35 for a carpenter.

The remaining Durham Catholic District School Board trustees approved the $190- million budget at the board meeting. Trustee Jones said in using the reserve funds, the board was taking “too much of a chance” that the Province will increase funding to school boards in the 2003-04 school year, following a review of the education funding formula to be completed by this fall. “I believe that we should be staying within the ministry’s enveloping (model) and we’re not,” he said in an interview. “If we continue (using re- serves) at that pace and the sta- tus quo is maintained in fund- ing, we will be $3 million overspent next year.” A frequent critic of the provincial government, Trustee Jones said, “there’s a lot of pol- iticking going on” right now after the change in leadership. But while the new premier and his cabinet appear to be mak- ing overtures to education stakeholders, including a re- view of the much-maligned funding formula, he suggested the tiger hasn’t really changed its stripes. “What we have to look for- ward to, I think, is some still hard times,” said Trustee Jones. MARY ANN MARTIN Hoping review will prevent another visit to reserves.See BUDGET page A4 DAVID PICKLES ‘A bylaw will help ensure the difficulties we’re having do not happen again.’ See PICKERING page A2 Animal partnership idea behind him, McLean calls for citizens’committee BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Councillor Bill McLean has some new ideas for im- proving animal services in Pickering, and they involve letting the public have its say. After failing to get support from Ajax to join with the City in a new animal services agreement that would have replaced the current arrange- ment between those two municipali- ties and the Town of Whitby, the Ward 2 councillor and Pickering Ajax Whitby Animal Control (PAW) Com- mittee member wants to concentrate on ways to improve the existing ser- vice. PAW has come under fire over the last year for having the highest eu- thanasia and lowest adoption rates of any animal control service in Durham Region. Animal services statistics from 2000 confirm PAW admitted 542 cats and dogs, of which 80 were adopted, 159 were claimed, and 328 were eu- thanized. That means PAW put down ap- proximately 60 per cent of cats and dogs admitted, compared in the same period to regional lows of four per cent in Clarington, and 11 per cent in Scugog and Uxbridge, both of which admitted more animals and have smaller budgets. In April, the PAW committee ap- proved 10 changes aimed at improv- ing services, including retraining staff, beginning an advertising and promotional campaign, and creation of a Web site. Now, Coun. McLean wants to add some public participation to the process. He has asked City staff to draw up an amendment to Pickering’s ap- proval of the PAW committee changes, requesting a residents’ board advise the PAW committee on future operations. “It will benefit all of us, all the residents,” he said. The proposed committee would have a community representative from each of the three municipalities, one from the region as a whole and one from an animal rescue or animal rights group that would assist in im- plementing different ideas and im- provements. Coun. McLean said the committee would operate similar to the City’s li- brary board. Council voted unanimously Mon- day night to ask staff for direction and a proposed structure of the com- mittee and to report back at the July 29 council meeting. Arguing their hands are tied in preventing excessive in- fill dumping, City councillors are out to fill in the gap in Pickering bylaws. On Monday, council directed the City clerk to investi- gate current and proposed provincial legislation with re- spect to regulating the dumping and report back to coun- cil’s committee of the whole no later than Oct. 15. Ward 3 Councillor David Pickles said he hears the frus- tration of Kinsale residents. “I urge council to go take a look up there and ask yourself if you want to see more of that in north Picker- ing... It looks more like the mountain at Wonderland,” he said. “A bylaw... will help ensure the difficulties we’re having do not happen again.” But, he does admit it’s too late for the City to do anything about the Kinsale site. Mr. Van Der Vecht remains disap- pointed with the City’s actions to date, saying property values have plummeted and residents have suf- fered the effects of having the dump in their backyard. “(The bylaw) should have hap- pened a long time ago... Now appar- ently it’s too late to do anything about this one,” he said. Several councillors added similar situations need to be addressed and properties where fill dumping has oc- curred should be looked at to prevent similar situations like the one in Kin- sale. “Right now the frustration of the community is at a heightened level,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. “The people who live in Kinsale have to put up with this every day.” P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 26, 2002 At Durham Secondary Academy, successful learning is a priority.

Regional Council voted last week to form a commit- tee with other Greater Toron- to Area municipalities to form recommendations for Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) reform to the provin- cial government. As well, council endorsed a May 8 resolution by the City of Mississauga asking the government to review the role of the OMB, the Plan- ning Act and the Ontario Municipal Board Act “such that only major planning matters which address mat- ters of provincial policy and approval of official plans may be referred to the OMB.” In its resolution, Missis- sauga council stated minor planning matters currently being referred to the OMB should re- main at the local planning level and the City called on the gov- ernment to “re- store local control over planning by involving citizens and ensuring de- cisions are made by democratical- ly elected offi- cials.” Missis- sauga stated “smart growth,” a planning princi- ple for ensuring effective, man- ageable growth, cannot be accom- plished currently because decisions made locally can be overturned “by an appointed body with often little knowledge of the municipali- ties whose future they are shaping.” Many Durham politicians lent their voice to sup- port Missis- sauga’s position. Pickering Coun- cillor Mark Hol- land said he was “disgusted” at the lack of public ac- cessibility during a recent OMB hearing regarding a planning hearing on Pick- ering’s waterfront. “The (OMB) chairman went on at length that he did not want to have to listen” to members of the public, Coun. Holland said, noting a public meeting was called so hastily there was no time to even inform residents of the chance to speak. “There is no greater affront to democracy than what is happening at the OMB right now,” said Coun. Holland. “There is no ac- countability. Anyone who stands up for democracy would be absolutely disgust- ed with the proceedings I sat through last week.” Peter Hennessy, a senior manager for the OMB, says concerns about the conduct of its members should be sent to the board’s chairman. “The board would respond to that type of concern,” he said. However, he added, on the larger issue raised in the Mississauga resolution, he said, “The board doesn’t pro- vide comment in terms of its mandate. The Province set the act and the board will continue to exercise that mandate.” Prosecutor says coverup is evidence of guilt in murder BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––James Poland exploded in a “blind fury” when he killed his wife with an axe, but he acted with- out murderous intent, his lawyer says. “Although James Poland killed his wife, James Poland did not murder his wife,” Lorne Sabsay said in his clos- ing address at Mr. Poland’s second-degree murder trial in Superior Court. The defence is arguing Mr. Poland, 38, the stay-at-home father of three, killed his com- mon-law spouse Andrea Schneider, 38, “in the heat of passion” after she told him she was having an affair and was planning to leave him. Mr. Sabsay called for the jury to convict his client of manslaughter. “Andrea Schneider died in an unthinking explosion of fury... during an awful but mo- mentary and total loss of con- trol on the part of James Poland. “It was extremely brief and assuredly awful. But James did not decide to kill his wife. James Poland loved his wife,” Mr. Sabsay said. “James Poland simply swung that axe in a blind fury...” Mr. Sabsay said an irate Ms. Schneider provoked the attack by hurling insults and tools at Mr. Poland, kicking him in the groin and hitting him with a hockey stick, after she tripped over a bicy- cle while rushing to work early June 7, 2001. “Andrea ended up using the ultimate in- sult against James. The ultimate provocation. She hit him where he was most vulnerable. And it sent James over the edge. “A devoted father and husband is told that’s he’s about to lose his family... That he has been betrayed by his wife and a trusted family bene- factor (with whom she was having an affair),” Mr. Sabsay said. “And this after being struck in the head and kicked in the groin.” Court has heard Mr. Poland was primary caregiver to the couple’s terminally ill daugh- ter Stephanie, then seven, who suffers from a rare neurologi- cal disease. After hitting his wife with the axe, Mr. Poland took his sons to school and went grocery shopping, he ear- lier testified. When he came home he found her lying in a “lake of blood” in the garage and real- ized she was dead, he said. He cleaned up the blood, wrapped her body in a com- forter and placed his wife in the trunk of the family Oldsmobile, along with the bloody axe and other items. He drove the car to a shop- ping plaza parking lot at Har- wood Avenue and Hwy. 2, and left it there in front of a Chap- ters store, court heard. In his closing address, pros- ecutor Michael Hill said Mr. Poland’s actions after killing his wife are consistent with a “methodical” coverup of any evidence of the homicide, an attempt to escape criminal re- sponsibility. The Crown noted Mr. Poland scrubbed the garage floor clean of the blood, left messages for his dead wife on her voice mail at work and then enlisted a friend to get rid of the car and body, giving him $80 gas money. But for the friend, Carlos Almeida, who ultimately alert- ed the police, Mr. Poland may very well gotten away with murder, Mr. Hill suggested. The medical evidence shows Ms. Schneider received two major blows to the head, one crushing the top of her skull, the other splitting her forehead. “Common sense tells you somebody that hits you in the head twice with an axe means to kill you,” the prosecutor said. Mr. Hill called Mr. Poland’s testimony a series of “implau- sibilities” and urged jurors to disregard the accused’s ver- sion of the events, citing his campaign of “manipulation and deceit” following Ms. Schneider’s death. “You may shake your head and say this just doesn’t make sense,” he said.

Who’s watching the watchdog?Just the fax:905-683-7363 BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Police were not re- sponsible for the death of an armed robbery suspect killed in a fiery crash while attempting a “high speed get- away” following an Oshawa holdup, the Province’s Special Investigations Unit has concluded. Peter Tinsley, director of the SIU, said Tuesday there is no basis to be- lieve a Durham Regional Police offi- cer “did anything to attract criminal liability” during the 33-second pur- suit May 26. Steven Pellerin, 31, of Scarbor- ough, died when his Chrysler LeBaron burst into flames after col- liding with a minivan carrying a fam- ily of five at Kingston and Port Union roads, near the Pickering-Toronto border. The driver of the van suffered mul- tiple broken bones in the crash. The SIU’s probe confirmed Durham police spotted the suspect’s vehicle headed west on Hwy. 401 in Whitby at 6 p.m., shortly after a ban- dit brandishing a handgun robbed the Zeller’s store at 555 Simcoe St. S. Police lost sight of the car, which exited Hwy. 401 in Pickering, contin- ued west on Kingston Road and ran a red light at Rougemount Road, the SIU said. A patrol officer then spotted the suspect westbound on Kingston Road and began pursuing Mr. Pellerin with lights and sirens activated, the SIU said. A second cruiser joined the chase, which had “lasted for approximately 33 seconds when Mr. Pellerin dis- obeyed the red light at the intersection of Kingston Road and Port Union Road,” leading to the crash, the SIU said. “Mr. Pellerin was clearly intent on making a ‘high speed getaway’ from the scene of the armed robbery. There is no suggestion in the evidence that the subject officer’s execution of the pursuit was dangerous or negligent at the criminal standard,” said Mr. Tins- ley. “It is also noted that this pursuit was of an extremely short duration and distance.” As part of the investigation the SIU interviewed 25 police and civilian witnesses and reviewed officers’notes and communication tapes. Mr. Pellerin, the father of a young boy, had been released earlier this year from federal prison after serving time for robbery. Just prior to the events of May 26, he returned his son to his mother’s Oshawa home, following the boy’s regular weekend visit with Mr. Pel- lerin. He also objected to using reserves when the board is adding positions to the pay- roll, including 31 educa- tional assistants, an increase of 19 EAs from the first draft of the budget, at a cost of more than $800,000 per year. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin agreed the board was looking to a funding increase next year in utilizing reserves. “We’re hoping to make up (funding) and not have to dip into reserves again next year,” she said. Trustee Martin said there are no program or staff cuts in the budget and that the new EA positions are needed. Business su- perintendent David Visser in an interview de- scribed the bud- get as “a status- quo budget, which is very positive in this environment” of inadequate provincial fund- ing. He is counting on more special- education money for the board once the ‘inten- sive support amount’ (ISA), special-education funding audit process is fin- ished in the fall. “I think across the province boards are facing significant pres- sures on the oper- ating budgets,” said Mr. Visser. “The Durham Catholic District School Board is no different. I think that the uti- lization of re- serves allows the board to see how the future un- folds, not only with the educa- tion task force re- view but (with ISA).” Apart from $4,521,382 in working reserves this year, trustees approved the use of almost $1 mil- lion from the sick leave and retire- ment gratuity plan reserve, roughly $700,000 from the special- education re- serve, $150,000 from the work- place safety and insurance fund, and $54,000 from the special educa- tion improved ac- cessibility re- serve. The biggest chunk of reserve money, $6.13 million, comes from the pupil ac- commodation re- serve fund. Mr. Visser in his budget report states the money “represents debenture pay- ments for obliga- tions” taken on in the two previous school years. The working reserves fund balance is slated to drop from almost $7.8 mil- lion this Aug. 1 to about $3.3 million by next Au- gust. The board’s total reserve fund balance remains at about $43 million. After a year in which the board opened two new high schools among other build- ing projects, the budget in- cludes just two projects. Work will continue at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax and a previ- ously approved addition to St. Monica Catholic School in Pickering, at a total cost of $2,550,000.

The 2002 Budget provides funding for the priorities of the people of Ontario: • $25.5 billion to ensure quality health care, $1.7 billion more than last year; • $14.3 billion for quality education, over $400 million more than last year; and • Investing $500 million over the next two years on a safe and clean environment. These and the many other investments in this year’s Budget are about values and choices. The right balance between efficient, effective, accountable government and priority spending on the services that matter most is why Ontario continues to set the benchmark, in Canada and throughout the world, for the highest quality of life and a future of prosperity.

It’s often refreshing to catch a few “Zs” while on the road, that is, if you aren’t the driver. Numerous injuries and even deaths are caused each year due to falling asleep while behind the wheel. But just how do you stay awake while driving? Here are some tips, courtesy of Essortment.com. • Music - Turning up the radio is an obvious idea, but you need to do more than that. Pick a station with music that you enjoy, and sing loudly! If you are interacting (singing) with what you are hearing, you will stay more alert and attentive. • Keep the heat away - Warm air will make you sleepier. Roll down your window and let the cool air in. We all know that it’s tough to fall asleep when we’re cold and uncomfortable. You may get a slight cold or chapped skin, but it’s better than if you were to fall asleep while driving. • Stop and walk around for a few minutes - Stop somewhere where it’s bright ... a store, a rest stop, a gas station. Enjoy the fresh air. Talk to somebody nearby about the weather. Get your brain going and your senses more alert. • Eat and drink a lot - Yes, eating a big meal can make us tired. But if you are constantly moving your hands to eat food or drinking something cold (not alcohol, of course), you’re being active. 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 Avoid Sleeping Behind The Wheel LAWN-BOY® Pickering Marine 905-837-0653 1644 Bayly St. West of Brock Rd Sale For Sales & Service Call Lawn Boy® 21”, 5Hp, 4 cycle Self Propelled $399 Model #10360C PUTT FOR CASH June 27 WIN $20000 Budget approved BUDGET from page A1 Special Investigations Unit probe clears police in chase death CHEVROLET •PONTIAC •OLDSMOBILE •BUICK •GMC •CADILLAC •SATURN •SAAB •ISUZU •HUMMER gmcanada.com The General Motors of Canada Limited Oshawa #2 plant was the highest ranked, the Bowling Green, KY plant was the second ranked and the Lansing C, MI was the third ranked, in a tie, in North/South America among plants producing vehicles for the U.S. market in J.D.

NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 26, 2002 PAGE A5 A/P Premier Ernie Eves is giving his party a makeover, trying to win an election, and the mainly abusive critiques suggest he is ladling on the cosmetics fairly skilfully. The new premier is anxious to show his Progressive Conserva- tive party has abandoned the far- right policies of his predecessor, Mike Harris, that have declined in popularity, and moved closer to territory occupied by the Lib- erals led by Dalton McGuinty. Mr. Eves has distanced him- self by such dramatic acts as dropping Mr. Harris’s plan to pri- vatize the giant provincially- owned electricity transmission network and postponing, in favour of spending more on im- proving services, tax cuts Mr. Harris promised. Some elected Tories have taken the unusual step of dis- agreeing openly. Health Minister Tony Clement, a Harris acolyte who ran on a right-wing platform in losing a leadership race to Mr. Eves, said he would have pre- ferred his party bring in the tax cuts on time and even add more. John Snobelen, a minister under Mr. Harris and now a backbencher, mused Mr. Harris built a reputation for keeping promises that stood him in good stead, but will be difficult for Mr. Eves to attain. Business, which idolized Mr. Harris, has complained Mr. Eves’s backing out of selling the electricity network and post- ponement of tax cuts have dam- aged the Province’s reputation for fair dealing. The Ontario Chamber of Commerce felt Mr. Eves was cre- ating uncertainty by delaying the tax cuts and the Canadian Feder- ation of Independent Business thought the premier had lost some credibility. The National Citizens’ Coali- tion, a font of right-wing think- ing that would have kept Mr. Harris premier for life, criticized Mr. Eves for shifting to increased spending and said he has brought back “the tax-and-spend” poli- cies of the New Democrat gov- ernment before Mr. Harris. Influential newspapers that consistently supported Mr. Har- ris and do not risk losing cabinet or other government posts if they speak out have made the angriest protests. The Toronto Sun said Mr. Eves has made an incredible shift in policy and not only betrayed Mr. Harris and his Common Sense Revolution but killed and buried it. The paper argued Mr. Harris started a long series of tax cuts, claiming they were essential to help residents and the economy, but Mr. Eves has surrendered to opposition parties, which sneered for years the tax cuts had little effect. The Sun said Mr. Eves throws money at anything the opposition asks for and has moved so far from the policies on which Mr. Harris won an election his only honourable course is to call an- other election now. The National Post said Mr. Eves has shifted course 180 de- grees, turned his back on Mr. Harris and his principles, broken faith with taxpayers and is deter- mined to show he is no longer a Harris Tory. These are all people who can recognize a dramatic shift in Tory policy when they see one, but all will still support Mr. Eves over other parties when it comes to an election. Mr. McGuinty is equally sen- sitive to a shift by the Tories, be- cause he does not want them trespassing on his ground and appealing to some who now strongly support the Liberals. The Liberal leader is trying to belittle Mr. Eves’s moves, insist- ing the premier “has not aban- doned his real agenda. He will say anything now, trying to hold on to power. “But he is not offering perma- nent change, just temporary change, and he will get back to his right-wing agenda if he wins the next election.” Mr. McGuinty says princi- ples, convictions and integrity are important in politics and Mr. Eves, by his wandering around the political map, is showing he does not have any. The Liberal leader also is in- sisting somewhat plaintively “we are the Liberals,” which is almost an admission he is worried some may now have doubt. The Liberals and New De- mocrats have to be concerned some voters will like Mr. Eves’s milder policies and will not care how he arrived at them or will believe he has had a genuine change of heart. The opposition parties have to convince voters Mr. Eves’s makeover is only skin deep and a premier who changes his mind so conveniently before an election cannot be trusted. Eves’s softer policies provoke scorn But despite loud critiques, Harris supporters will still vote Tory Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com The way we were Photos supplied by the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee on behalf of the Ajax Community Archives.

Ajax on the grow c.1955 With the end of the war and the closing of the shell- filling plant in Ajax, the Defence Industries Limited property was turned over to the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) with a mandate to develop it into a fully planned industrial commu- nity. CMHC was a Crown corporation that built and supervised wartime houses throughout Canada dur- ing the Second World War, including those in Ajax. This is the cover of one of the many promotional brochures that was used. The figure shown on the front symbolized the industrial development of the town. This image still exists today in the form of an almost seven-foot tall wooden figure that was re- cently restored (minus the long-lost building). The statue was carted to and displayed at trade shows and promotional events between the late-1940s and mid-1950s. For a time it stood in the foyer of the CMHC offices when it was not on ‘tour’. P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 26, 2002 Proud members of It’s little surprise municipal election voter turnouts are so dismal across Ontario. It’s common for well under 40 per cent of eligible voters to cast a ballot every third November. Some might say why bother when virtually any local development decision made by council can be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Not surprisingly, the power of the OMB, a group of citizens appointed by the Province to deliver final rulings on contentious development issues, upsets municipal politicians. The purpose of the OMB is to offer a route of appeal for citizens who feel they haven’t been treated fairly at the municipal or regional government level. When the system works, everyone benefits. However, the experience of the City of Mississauga has resonance with Durham Region councillors. Missis- sauga, like parts of Durham, has faced OMB challenges on minor planning matters that contradict its own long- term planning. The crux of the matter for citizens is that a democrat- ically-elected, politically responsible council seems powerless before an appointed board that is not held di- rectly accountable to Ontarians. Durham politicians want to see a plan in place that provides that, “only major planning matters which ad- dress matters of provincial policy and approval of official plans may be referred to the OMB.” The simple explanation is everyday planning should refer back to municipal and regional councils. In major cases, OMB appeals could, and should, continue to occur. Pickering Regional Councillor Mark Holland said he wasn’t happy with his experience during an OMB hear- ing on Pickering’s waterfront. “The (OMB) chairman went on at length that he did not want to have to listen to (the public). “There is no greater affront to democracy than what is happening at the OMB right now. There is no account- ability. Anyone who stands up for democracy would be absolutely disgusted with the proceedings I sat through last week.” Whitby Regional Councillor Gerry Emm said he’s no- ticed, “a lot of times, there are time constraints and due process is not served.” Ultimately, a provincial review might freshen up the mandate of the OMB. Council also wants to see the Plan- ning Act and Ontario Municipal Board Act get another look by the Province. Such an exercise should put plan- ning and development power largely back in the hands of locally elected officials, not provincially appointed com- missioners. It might be time for review of OMB Provincial examination might freshen up board’s mandate Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 26, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Garbage solution rests with us all To the editor: Re: ‘Durham to send trash to Michigan,’June 23. This article highlights the need for all of us (not just our elected officials) to address the burgeoning need for creative and viable disposal solutions. The garbage problems of Durham Region are small compared to Toronto, but significant nonethe- less. In fact, one bag of garbage is significant. However, as long as there is a hole in the ground for our garbage, the pressure for alterna- tive solutions is perceived to be minor. Here’s my proposal: make it mandatory for every mu- nicipality to deal with its own waste within its own boundaries. Therefore, Toronto’s garbage must remain in Toronto. Picker- ing’s garbage must remain in Pickering, etc. Faced with this, each and every one of us would be faced with the reality and magnitude of the problem. Let’s be real. For most of us (myself included), we don’t think about the garbage we pro- duce beyond the end of our dri- veway. That is, as long as the bag (or bags) we put out disap- pear on garbage day, we don’t re- ally care or think about where it goes, as long as it goes some- where other than our driveway. If we were faced with the mountain of garbage we produce every day, however, we might be more inclined to do something about it. No one wants to live beside a pile of garbage. What can we do? Reduce the amount of waste we produce. Aim for 100-per cent diversion. Demand blue boxes at all events, public and private. Insist on the avoidance of Styrofoam cups, plates, etc. While I agree regional council needs to be proactive, it really is up to all of us. David Porter Pickering Time to appoint municipal auditor To the editor: Looking at the ongoing alle- gations of federal Liberal party corruption and the relative scan- dalous waste and abuse of our hard-to-get tax dollars, surely it’s time for change at the top. Maybe it’s also time to have a roving independent auditor at the municipal level to watch over our very scarce and hard-to-get tax dollars and to ensure our money is not wasted on frivolous trips and other unnecessary ex- penditures. To this end there must be transparency, which means all levels of governments must serve the public and not themselves. Surely politicians, whether they are municipal, provincial or federal, should lead by example.

Grass clippings are 75% to 85% water. When you mow regularly, clippings quickly decompose and release nutrients to fertilize the lawn. Grasscycling is an economic and environmentally friendly fertilizer for your lawn. Grasscycling will do away with your need to bag clippings and help your lawn to retain a green color, and develop a stronger, deeper root system. The City of Pickering actively promotes the benefits of “grasscycling”.

Alzheimer Society meets July 3Squirm of worms work magic Vermicomposting converts scraps into nutrient-rich compost ‘Squirm of worms’joins gaggle of geese, pod of whales, and pride of lions as a collective noun. Avid worm composters have been struggling with a way to refer to the increasing herds that transform kitchen food scraps into compost. This uncertainty has led finally to the obvious selection of ‘squirm’. Vermi- or worm-composting is a popular method of recycling organic materials. Using red wigglers (Eisenia feti- da), vermicomposting converts food, leaves and other organics into nutri- ent-rich humus or compost, which is valuable for growing plants. This method uses worms in a con- tainer with a bedding of shredded paper. It is used by apartment dwellers, teachers and students, of- fice workers and, increasingly, in in- dustrial applications to recycle or- ganics. “I estimate that there are well over a million people in North America who have chosen to welcome the red worms into their homes and have them chow down on their discarded organic materials,” said Mary Appel- hof, author of ‘Worms Eat My Garbage’ and star of the educational video ‘Wormania’. “People have been asking for a name to describe their batch of worms and I’m relieved to finally be able to say that it’s a squirm.” The wiggle decision was made of- ficial during the May international composting symposium held in Columbus, Ohio through discussions between Ms. Appelhof and The Com- posting Council of Canada (CCC). “We’ve been having fun trying to figure this out for a number of years,” said Susan Antler, executive director of the CCC. “I’m sure that this term will quick- ly be adopted by worm supporters around the world. No one would want to squirm out of this.” Ms. Appelhof, a biologist and ed- ucator who has been studying worms for 20 years, added, “There are about 4,400 named species of worms worldwide. “The red wiggler is one of the best suited for vermicomposting. It’s tol- erant of a wide variety of tempera- tures and conditions, reproduces in a confined environment, and it is capa- ble of eating up to half its body weight each day. “Worms are natural recyclers and produce worm castings or vermicom- post full of nutrients useful for plants.” Bees have their swarm and now worms have their squirm! A few years ago, Pickering’s John Lok acquired worms at a one-day composter sale and has been breed- ing them ever since. Anyone wishing to purchase a quantity of worms either to start a vermicomposting bin or add to their backyard composter can call Mr. Lok at 905-427-2724 or 905-837-2577. Next year, during International Composting Awareness Week, I would like to see May 1 declared ‘worm day’ as suggested by a gentle- man from Victoria, B.C. If you would like a free commer- cial compost unit, check out next week’s column for the ‘Treasure Chest’giveaway by a person who has built himself a larger backyard com- poster.

Billboard June 26, 2002 Read up online at durhamregion.com Changes reflect merged service AJAX —Ajax and Picker- ing transit users should keep July 2 in mind, as a new fare structure takes over. Bus riders in both communi- ties will pay the same rate and have the option of a new multi- ride pass being offered by the Ajax Pickering Transit Authori- ty. The one-time adult fare goes up 25 cents to $1.75. That’s the same fare for specialized ser- vices. The new adult multi-ride pass will be $20 and covers 12 rides. The adult monthly pass for Ajax users goes up by $4, to match the current Pickering rate of $50. There’s no change to the 50- cent fare for those making connections with the GO train. Seniors’ cash fare is 65 cents, a 15-cent increase in Pickering. At the same time, a $13 monthly pass is being intro- duced in Ajax. Pickering stu- dents will have to fork out an extra 25 cents to match the $1.25 now charged in Ajax. Other changes taking place in the coming weeks include expansion of the ‘dial-a-bus’ service to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Riders can call 905-683-4111 to book a ride within a 50-minute time frame. This service is the same in both communities and replaces the current Sunday service now offered in Ajax. The traditional sum- mer schedule in Ajax, with longer intervals be- tween buses, is can- celled, with regular schedules to be fol- lowed all summer, as they are in Pickering. More information on the fares and schedules is available at the www.townofajax.com/apta, where there’s a full rate chart and comparisons, along with more details on dial-a-bus and other services.

Can you dig for it with your club or hand? A:If a ball is covered by sand in a bunker, Rule 12 permits a player to probe for the ball with a rake, a club or the hands, without penalty. If the ball is found and sand removed, the ball must be re-covered so only a small part of the ball is visible. If the ball happens to move during such a search, there is no penalty; the player must replace it and then re-cover it with sand. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) SCHEDULE All times ET PGA Tour:FedEx St. Jude Classic Thursday and Friday, 2 to 4 p.m., ESPN Saturday, 4 to 6 p.m., ABC Sunday, 3 to 6 p.m.,ABC LPGA Tour:ShopRite LPGA Classic Friday, 3 to 6 p.m., The Golf Channel Saturday, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., The Golf Channel Sunday, 3 to 6 p.m., The Golf Channel Senior:U.S. Senior Open Thursday and Friday, 12 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., ESPN Saturday and Sunday, 3 to 6 p.m., NBC THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Should the U.S. Golf Association require golf courses that host a U.S. Open to also host a Women’s Open? Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com e have seen the future, and it is looooong. Outrageously looooong. Two majors have been played so far in 2002, and each course measured more than 7,200 yards. Get used to it. Long is the future of golf, short is an endangered species. With par-4 holes of 500 yards, can par 5s of 700 yards be far behind? Mothers, don’t let your babies grow up to be short hitters. They will suffer. They will bogey. They will need psychiatric help. They will take up racquetball. Golf, along with the setup of courses, has changed so drasti- cally that short hitters find themselves at an insur- mountable disadvantage. Long is good, short is bad. Very bad. Hale Irwin and Tom Kite, two fiftysomethings, criticized U.S. Senior Open champion Bruce Fleisher for bypassing the U.S. Open. They claimed it was Fleisher’s “obligation” to play at Bethpage State Park’s Black Course. Give me a break. Irwin and Kite were caught up in the fervor of the national championship, contested for the first time on a truly public course. The reality is this: They, as well as Fleisher, had no busi- ness being in the field. In four rounds between them, Irwin and Kite broke 80 once. In a ballyhooed event where 8,468 entrants battled this year for 81 nonexempt spots in the field, every starting position was pre- cious. Fleisher displayed good judgment to give up his spot to a younger, stronger player, or, in his words,“some kid who really deserves the opportunity to be there.” Fleisher played the course a few weeks before the U.S. Open, noticed that his fairway woods were becoming his best friends, admitted he wasn’t long enough off the tee, and with- drew after he already had accepted his automatic invitation to play. This had happened before, and Irwin and Kite should have known it. Orville Moody, the 1990 Senior Open winner, and Larry Laoretti, the 1993 Senior Open champ, also passed on the U.S. Open. Why? One reason was to forgo possible embarrassment. In 36 holes, Irwin took 28 more strokes than Tiger Woods. This is what Fleisher wanted to avoid. Irwin has been a marvelous player and an exemplary representative of the game, but he had no justification for admonishing Fleisher. All this has to do with length. Senior golfers have less of it, younger golfers have more of it, and major championship courses are get- ting longer and longer. Like it or not, tournament golf is becoming a game for long bombers. Finesse, feel, touch — save them for the club championship, because they are a distant second to length in major championship golf. Sadly, this length phenomenon could be dampening most of the final-round excitement in majors. The 2002 Masters was a snooze, as the newly lengthened back nine at Augusta surrendered its historical identity as mother of birdies and maker of dreams. The 2002 U.S. Open provided more of the same. With two par 4s on the back nine measuring more than 490 yards, birdies were a rare commodity. Among the last four two- somes, only seven birdies were registered on Sunday’s back nine. Zzzzzzzzzzz. Parents and instruc- tors would be well advised to nurture young golfers in the fine art of hitting the hell out of the ball. The mod- ern formula is distance first, accuracy second. As Woods has proved, a long hitter can learn to hit the ball straight. There is another ramifica- tion of golf ’s new distance parade: The argument for two sets of equipment rules is becoming easier to make. Heading into the U.S. Open, 31 players on the 2002 PGA Tour were averaging 285 yards or longer on their drives and another 33 were averaging between 280 and 285. Compare this with your typical weekend foursome. With everyday golfers commonly averag- ing 50 yards less than touring pros, these ordinary Joes and Janes need all the help they can get. And where do weekend warriors get help? From the technological advances incorporated into drivers and other golf equipment. Already the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, have pro- posed that “hot”drivers with a coef- ficient of restitution (spring-like effect) of .860 be allowed for a five- year period starting Jan. 1. Golfers will jump on these drivers like gymnasts on a trampoline. But will they give them up and return to .830 drivers in 2008, as the USGA and R&A have mandated? No way. They have seen the future, it is looooong, and they too want to be looooong.

For more than 15 years I dreamed of being slim. Then I made an amazing weight loss dis- covery that helped me melt off 72 lbs. of fat in 12 easy months. My dress size plunged from a hefty 18 to a slender size 10 and it was effortless. If you are suffer- ing from a weight problem, please take a moment to read my amazing story. I believe that my weight loss discov- ery can make your dreams come true, too! Diets Don’t Work For 15 years my immense weight caused me pain and suffering. I suffered both physically and mentally. I avoided going out for fear someone might look my way. I always thought people were snickering behind my back. I hated to shop so I wore the same old clothes until they were faded and worn. I hid myself away and never expressed my true personali- ty. But that wasn’t the worst of it. Imagine what it was like to be 70 lbs. overweight and work as a desk clerk at a health club! I tried a multitude of diets, weight loss programs and gimmicks. I attended group meetings faithfully. I’d lose 5 to 10 pounds, get bored, stop going, and gain all my weight back. I didn’t like the way it was handled so I even- tually dropped out. I’d dream about being slim, but had no idea how to get there. I’d tell myself that I could stay on a diet. Two days later I’d be back to my same old fat-lady routine. The Miracle One day I read about Positive Changes Hypnosis in the newspaper. It was a big feature story (probably much like the one you’re reading now). I cut it out and put it on the refrigerator. Later that day I discussed it with my husband and we agreed that I should give Positive Changes a call. It was the best decision of my life! My first step was to attend the Positive Changes’free hypnotic screening. It was surprisingly fun and informa- tive. For the first time, I felt that someone understood what I was going through. It gave me a little spark of hope. I kept waiting for the sales pitch, but it never happened. I was never pressured. Everything was explained in detail and the fee was sur- prisingly reasonable. I knew that I desperate- ly needed help, and the Positive Changes philosophy made sense to me. I signed up. After my first hypno- sis session, I had no doubt that I’d come to the right place... Instant Results I arrived home from my first ses- sion with a big smile on my face. My husband asked me,“What’s up with you?” “Oh nothing,”I said. “I’m just in a good mood,”and I went right on smil- ing. I lost 4 lbs. that first week. After that, my weight kept melting away. In one month I’d taken off 16 lbs. My total reduction was 72 lbs. and four dress sizes. To be honest, I don’t even remember losing my weight - it was that fast and easy. Hypnosis eliminated my cravings and poor eating habits. I’m free from the has- sle of dieting forever! I don’t have to go to meetings, count calories, or weigh my food. I simply enjoy healthy, flavourful foods like fruits and vegetables, and drink lots of water. It’s been as if my mind is on autopilot. To be honest, I still don’t understand it. I just know that my weight melted away at an average of 3 pounds a week and I never felt deprived. Life Is Wonderful! When I look at old pictures, I can’t believe that was me. People tell me I look like I’ve had a facelift. My husband says I seem twenty years younger. I’m even saving money! My grocery bill has gone down because I no longer buy cookies, cake and ice cream. Now that I have lost my weight with hypnosis, I can’t even fathom ever gaining it back. Saved My Life The truth is, Positive Changes saved my life. If it weren’t for this program, I’d probably be over 200 pounds and miserable. That’s the rea- son I’m sharing my story, and the reason I’m recommending Positive Changes to you. I know that you’re skepti- cal. I was, too. But my skep- ticism vanished when my weight started melting off effortlessly. I’m confident that hypnosis can do the same for you. Now please don’t get trapped into thinking that I’m a single success story. I met a lot of nice people at Positive Changes and they were get- ting the very same results that I have. Change Your Life Today! So set your skepticism aside. Stop hesitating. Pick up your telephone and call Positive Changes Hypnosis right now. Ask to schedule your complimentary hypno- sis screening. Don’t worry, if the staff doesn’t think hypno- sis is right for you, they will tell you so. Take it from me, you have nothing to lose, and a whole lot to gain–like self- esteem, happiness, peace of mind, and freedom from your weight. Positive Changes gave me everything I needed to build a beautiful, healthy body and a wonderful frame of mind. Now go on, pick up the phone and call Positive Changes Hypnosis. If you’re like me, it will be the smartest decision of your life! ADVERTISEMENT “Now that I have lost my weight with hypnosis, I can’t even fathom ever gaining it back.” Janice Lerch, 72 Lbs.

Cremieux serves notice Nebraska’s the collegiate home for her BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —One visit was all it took for a Pickering tennis player to decide to attend the Uni- versity of Nebraska on a full athletic scholarship this fall. Jennifer Cremieux toured the school’s Lincoln campus in April and it soon became apparent she would make it her college home for the next four years. “It just blew the other places away,” said the 18- year-old tennis player, referring to other scholar- ship offers from the University of North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Brown, Minnesota and Ohio State. “At first I wanted to go to an Ivy League school, but they push the academics so much that they push the athletics aside.” She noted Nebraska represented the best of both academics and athletics, offering a strong course in sports psychology, which will be her major, along with a supportive environment for its athletes. “They’re really behind their athletes. They also have a special facility for us to do our work. And, the coach there (Scott Jacobson) is really good,” she said, adding a number of tutors are always available, for free, to help athletes handle both sports and academics. The clamour to sign Cremieux to an athletic scholarship came about after an outstanding junior tennis career for the graduate of Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School. Notable wins include the national selection doubles tournament with partner Daniel- la Covello and the open class Ontario mixed cham- pionship with partner Adil Shamasdin, while she was also a finalist in the national se- lection singles tournament against number-one seed Ekatarina Shulea- va. The member of the Pickering Tennis Academy at the Pickering Recreation Complex has also en- joyed success on the international stage. She reached the final of the Sunrise Florida Under-14 Classic and was a semi- finalist at the International Holiday Classic in Miami in the under-16 division. She also got as far as the third round — as far as any Canadian — at the Orange Bowl World Championships in the under-16 category. Cremieux will join a women’s tennis program at Nebraska that has dwelled in the top 50 list of col- legiate programs in the U.S. and is a perennial member among the top schools in the Big 12 Con- ference, which includes such powerhouses as Ok- lahoma State, Brigham Young University and the NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 26, 2002 PAGE B1 A/P Big Names Small Prices!Big Names Small Prices!

Healy, a Pickering na- tive and Ajax resident who’s now a hockey analyst for CBC, won the cup as a member of the New York Rangers in 1994.

Felicien queen of Canadian hurdles Pickering woman wins 110m crown at national championships BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —Pickering’s Perdita Feli- cien is the top hurdler in Canada. The Canadian Olympian, who earlier this year proved she was the best in U.S. colle- giate circles, captured the Canadian 100- metre hurdles crown at the 2002 Canadian Track and Field National Championships in Edmonton last weekend. The nationals also served as the Commonwealth Games trials. The University of Illinois hurdler won the event in a blistering 12.77 seconds, her fastest time of the season and .04 seconds off her personal best. In fact, her time was a mere .01 seconds off the national meet record. She was first overall following the qualifying sessions, winning her heat in 13.35 seconds. The national title assured her a spot on Canada’s team for the 2002 Com- monwealth Games in Manchester, England July 25 to Aug. 4. Felicien was but one of several athletes with Ajax and Pickering roots to compete at the national showcase. Also there were Pick- ering’s Anson Henry in the men’s 100m and 200m, Shelley-Ann Brown in the women’s 100m hurdles and 200m, Asha James in the women’s 100m and 200m and Ajax’s Dwayne Higgins in the men’s 110m hurdles. The Canadian championship and Com- monwealth Games berth are just the latest achievements in what has been an outstand- ing track season for Felicien. She opened her junior collegiate indoor track season by win- ning the Big Ten and NCAA 60m hurdles crowns, capturing the latter in a record- breaking time of 7.90 seconds. In the outdoor season, she finished second in the 100m hur- dles at the Big Ten championships and went on to win the NCAA crown in 12.91 seconds. Henry, a senior at Washington State Uni- versity, finished third in the 100m in a time of 10.04 seconds. The time was a personal PERDITA FELICIEN Wins 100-metre hurdles event at national championships; moves on to represent Canada at the Commonwealth Games in England next month.

The meet was the first in a series of three leading to the Canadian Le- gion Champi- onships at Sher- brooke Univer- sity Aug. 15 to 17, followed by a national train- ing camp until Aug. 25. The top two finishers in each event at the Dis- trict ‘D’ cham- pionships ad- vance to the provincial championships at Sudbury’s Laurentian Uni- versity July 12 and 13. In the 15- years-and-under category, Stephen Lopez swept to gold in the long jump, 200 metres and 400m. Ryan Finn also owned a trio of gold medals, captur- ing the 800m, 1,500m and 3,000m. Ryan Gordon won gold in the 15-and-under 100m hurdles and silver in the long jump and 300m hurdles. Adam Brown captured top spot in the 15- and-under 300m hurdles and sil- ver in the triple jump and 100m hurdles. Joshua Per- reira won bronze in the 15-and- under 300m hur- dles. Timothy Brooks finished fourth in the 15- and-under 100m hurdles, 100m and long jump. Meanwhile, in the 17-and- under category, Cameron Saha- dath continued to add to his reputation as one of the best young hurdlers in the country, winning gold in the 110m hur- dles and the 400m hurdles. He also earned a silver in the long jump. Matthew Lawrence captured the gold medal in the 17-and- under triple jump. Christopher Perreira record- ed a bronze in the 17-and-under 400m hurdles.

As a freshman she’ll be among eight on the women’s team, which includes players from Germany, Sweden, the Philippines and Mexi- co, as well as the U.S. Pickering complex tennis pro Dave Ochotta, who has coached Cremieux since she was a youngster, said dedication to her craft has gone a long way toward her emergence as a strong singles and doubles player. “Jennifer always pushes herself to excel in all aspects,” said Ochotta who continues to pro- vide technical instruction along with Cremieux’s other coach, Greg Tranquada. Cremieux said she’ll continue to play in a number of tournaments over the summer in preparation for the start of her collegiate career in September. She also plans to continue to im- prove her overall conditioning. “There, I’ll be training four hours every day, so I’ll be working on my conditioning (this summer) a lot,” she said. RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Jennifer Cremieux knows she served an ace when accepting an athletic scholarship to the University of Nebraska. She’ll be a member of the school’s eight-member women’s tennis team this fall. Here, Cremieux works on her game at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Cremieux cream of new tennis crop at University of Nebraska Area track athletes post solid results against Canada’s best best, albeit wind aided, sur- passing his WSU record time of 10.17. Olympian Nicolas Marcozonaris won the event in 9.91 seconds. Henry finished fifth in the preliminaries in a time of 10.08 seconds. Henry also qualified for the 200m final with the sixth fastest time in the preliminary round of 21.10 seconds. The sprinter, however, chose to run only the 100m final. Brown, a junior at the Uni- versity of Nebraska, finished fourth in the 110m hurdles final in 13.36 seconds. Brown recorded the fifth-best qualify- ing time, clocking 13.72 sec- onds. She finished ninth in the 200m preliminaries with a time of 24.08, just missing one of eight spots in the finals. James, a senior at Tulane University in New Orleans, finished sixth in the 100m final, clocking 12 seconds to improve on an eighth-place finish in the preliminaries. She was 10th in the 200m heats with a time of 24.19. Higgins, a freshman at the University of West Virginia, finished fifth in the final of the 110m hurdles in 14.41 sec- onds. The Pickering High School graduate recorded the seventh-best time in the pre- liminaries, 14.41 seconds. NOTES:A strong senior year with the WSU Cougars netted Henry a number of ac- colades. Henry was named the 2002 Pac-10 Conference male track athlete of the year. The sprinter won both the 100m and 200m dashes at the Pac-10 Conference champi- onships and holds the school record in both events. He was also selected as the Mondo/USTCA West Region athlete of the year for the 2002 Division 1 outdoor track season. Members of the United States Track Coaches Association vote on the awards.

Lopez, Finn shine Junior ‘A’team gets jump on next season with three evaluation camps BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —It may be the start of the summer, but the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Pan- thers hockey club is well under way in filling out its roster for the 2002-03 junior season. The Panthers have held three evaluation camps at the Pickering Recreation Complex since the end of last season, attracting more than 100 young hopefuls. The last evaluation session for the OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club was a week-and-a-half ago and new Panthers’ head coach Jim Wilson reports the talent level was impressive, something that bodes well for the team’s official training camp, which gets under way Aug. 19. “The competitive level was great. We’re very pleased with the boys who came out and how they conducted themselves,” he said. “We wanted to find boys who wanted to play the game. We didn’t want to get into a situation where you get punch-ups from some guys try- ing to impress people. But, we didn’t get any of that. We had a very competitive camp.” If there was a common denominator in the camps, it was the skill and age, said Wilson, who came to the post in April from the North York Rangers where he held the top coaching position a year ago. “The talent level is exceptional. We’re not getting a lot of 19- to 20-year-olds and they’re younger than what other teams would prefer to carry. But, we’re impressed with their capabili- ties; the level of play has been very high,” he said. As with most other junior ‘A’ squads, the new season represents almost a complete changeover in player personnel. Wilson said four or five players from last year’s Panthers are expected back, meaning the competition is wide open for roster spots. Pickering will have 12 defencemen in its main camp and that number will be pared to seven at the end of the exhibition season. As well, 20 forwards will receive an invite, with the club prepared to carry 12 to 13 in the regu- lar season, which gets under way in mid-Sep- tember. Wilson noted the trouble spot en- tering camp may well be the search for an experienced goaltender. Scott Gray, the incumbent from last sea- son, isn’t a lock to return as there is still some uncertainly regarding his schooling situation for next season. In terms of early preparation, Wilson said he’s a firm believer in having the selection process mostly out of the way prior to the main camp, which is mainly reserved for implementing systems. “I don’t know about other clubs, but we like to do it that way. There are so many systems that come into play that we don’t want to have to deal with condensing the number of players. We want to get enough rep- etitions in practice and see who can pick up the team systems we’re at- tempting to institute,” he said. Wilson, 57, comes to the Pan- thers with a 35-year pedigree in coaching, including stints in the university and European pro ranks. He’s happy with what he’s seen from the organization since coming aboard after former head coach Bill Purcell stepped down following one season. “Everybody who’s involved in the team has been most supportive. It’s a very positive at- mosphere and we hope to keep that atmosphere throughout the season,” he said. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:Panthers’ as- sistant coach Allan Avery is the father of De- troit Red Wings centre Sean Avery who played his rookie season with the Stanley Cup champi- ons this past NHL season. The younger Avery brought the Stanley Cup to his Pickering home Friday. The Cup was driven around the city, showed up at the ground-breaking ceremony for the new ice pad at Don Beer Arena and was at a private party for family and friends at a Pickering restaurant that evening...

A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 26, 2002 All in the family for Ajax woman Singer-songwriter finds ‘Heartbeat’ for eight-track CD BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor AJAX —Family was the inspiration for an Ajax singer-songwriter’s latest recording. Maureen Hart-Brennan released her debut full-length CD, ‘Heartbeat’, late last month. The disc represents a followup to a CD single she released in 1994, ‘Baby Rap Walk’, which is also included on the new eight-song disc, along with tracks written since that time. “A lot of it is about family. I wrote two songs about each,” she said refer- ring to her daughter Carolyn and hus- band Dan. Her daughter, in particular, was the inspiration for the ‘Baby Rap Walk’ while she was in kindergarten and her voice is also recorded on the track. Two-hundred-and-fifty copies of the single were given to newborns and mothers at the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren and at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pick- ering hospital. Hart-Brennan said her music is hard to categorize, referring to the work as an ‘eclectic mix’ of styles. The ‘Baby Rap Walk’ uses a Caribbean rap beat, while other songs on the CD use Latin and Celtic influences. “I’m not someone who goes into one genre of music,” she said. “I get inspiration with different things at different times.” She noted it was a pleasure to work on the album,which was recorded main- ly at Imagine Sound Studios in Toronto (as well as two other studios) with the help of Mark Shannon and Brian Al- lossery who provided the backing tracks for the project and a big source of inspi- ration. “They gave me advice and allowed me to achieve what I’ve always wanted to achieve. I’m very happy with the re- sults. When you ask other people to help you with a dream and they come through, that’s a powerful thing,” she said. “In the process of doing an album, I met a lot of nice people.” Five of the songs off the album, said Hart-Brennan, have been donated to a schizophrenia support group in Scarbor- ough that plans to use the tracks in an album. She suffers from a brain disorder that affects her memory. Ajax singer Maureen Hart-Bren- nan released her full-length debut CD as a followup to a 1994 single she penned. Immigration Matters:Immigrants bring skills and commitment that help build Canada’s economy and quality of life. A New Act:On June 28, 2002 the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act becomes law. It continues Canada’s tradition of welcoming people. Improving the Security of all Canadians:The new Act will protect us from those who take advantage of Canada’s openness. In addition to the improved screening of new applicants, one of the key changes is a more secure, durable and convenient proof of residency card. This tamper-resistant plastic card replaces the previous paper document (IMM 1000). It is only for Permanent Residents (landed immigrants) living in Canada. Who will need the new Permanent Resident Card:“Permanent Residents” are people who have applied and been accepted to live in Canada. Starting December 31, 2003, Permanent Residents travelling outside of the country will need a Permanent Resident Card to re-enter Canada. Canadian citizens will not need this card. Becoming Canadians:Many Permanent Residents are qualified to become Canadian citizens. These people are encouraged to apply for their citizenship. If they succeed they will not need to apply for the new card. For More Information:Visit the Canada web site at http://www.canada.gc.ca or call 1 800 O-Canada.

HORNUNG, Horst Adolf - Passed away peace- fully on the morning of Saturday, June 22, 2002, at home with his family by his side, fol- lowing a courageous battle with cancer. Horst was 65 years old. Horst immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1956 with $40.00 in his pocket. Although he had little money, he came as a skilled toolmaker and with much ambition to succeed in his adopted country. After working hard for many years, he be- came a partner in a mould-making company, D&E Precision Tooling Ltd. From this fledgling business grew a varied group of successful companies in the Durham Region specializing in Tool & Die Making, Plastic Injection Moulding, Industrial Supply and Real Estate. He was the loving husband of Diane, beloved father and father-in-law of Karen & Bob Mc- Burney, Richard & Catherine Hornung, Jac- queline and Dave Bracken, caring stepfather of Cindy Dunn (Galveston, Texas), Robin and Ken Turner and Jacqueline and Jerry Kucharchuk. Horst's 7 grandchildren, Julia, Jamie, Jessica, Andrew, Joey, Jeffrey and baby Samuel will all miss their Opa. Horst will be dearly missed by all whose lives have been touched by this special man. Horst's family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Sunnybrook Hospital and Cancer Centre for their expert care during his illness. Horst will be laid to rest at Resurrection Cemetery on Taunton Rd. in Whitby.

The board of directors of Bethesda House of Mercy closed the shelter June 10 after a sewage backup turned into a mould infestation in the basement, act- ing chairman of the board Denise Ger- rits confirmed Monday. About 15 frontline and administra- tion staff members have been laid-off temporarily and clients have been relo- cated to other southern Ontario shelters. The board, which was already in the process of trying to find a new home to replace the current building, must now move even faster to secure a new site. “We are very seriously pursuing an- other property,” said Linda Tyndall, the board’s treasurer. “Now that the shelter is closed, the sense of urgency has in- tensified.” The board had chosen a home on Re- gional Road 57 north of Hwy. 2 and began fund-raising efforts earlier this spring to purchase and retrofit the prop- erty at an estimated cost of $800,000. The provincial government has commit- ted $400,000 to the capital cost. With the closing date for the purchase looming, the board found itself about $200,000 short of its goal and in late May, with- drew from the deal. But finding a new home is only one of many issues the board is coping with. The directors have found themselves facing recurring health and safety issues at the Liberty Street South building for more than a year. Last month, the board hired an inves- tigator to look into allegations made by a former employee against staff. Arlene Da Silva-Meester has since filed a wrongful dismissal suit against Bethes- da House, its executive director and an- other employee, claiming she was fired for being a whistle-blower. In the statement, filed in small claims court in Whitby, Ms. Da Silva-Meester said during her employment she was “exposed to various abusive and ques- tionable situations, i.e. abuse of taxpay- ing dollars, residents, children and staff.” According to her court statement, Ms. Da Silva-Meester expressed her concerns to executive director Karen Mayson who, she claimed, did not take action and said “staff were forbidden to contact any outside interests without the approval of (Ms. Mayson). Any staff to make an attempt to do so would be ter- minated.” Ms. Mayson declined comment, ac- cording to Carolyn Dyer, Bethesda’s ex- ecutive administrator. Other claims made in the statement include “physical violence and a lack of support” for clients residing at the house. Prior to the lawsuit, the board hired an independent investigator to look into 28 allegations brought against the shel- ter by Ms. Da Silva-Meester, including an allegation of unreported occurrences of child abuse within the shelter, con- firmed Ms. Gerrits. “We decided on an independent in- vestigation because of the claims,” added Ms. Tyndall. “We have given the investigator carte blanche. The investi- gation has since been expanded because of the number of people who want to be part of it. We want to do it right.” The board anticipates the investiga- tion will be costly. Spending money at a time when it is trying to raise funds for a new home is not something the board relishes. However, said Ms. Tyndall, “It’s important to clear the air.” Since joining the board last August, Ms. Tyndall, Ms. Gerrits and fellow board member Kery Lyon, who jokingly call themselves “the three musketeers” say they have been overwhelmed with mounting problems they feel ill- equipped to deal with. Two weeks ago the board’s chairman resigned due to health problems and Ms. Mayson has been on sick leave since May 23, return- ing part-time just last week. There are only three other members on the board at this time, only half the full composite. Ironically, the problems come at a time when the shelter should be starting a new, happier chapter. In December 2001, the shelter began receiving $500,000 in yearly operational funding from the provincial government in addi- tion to the $400,000 capital contribution toward a new facility. It’s the first time in the shelter’s history it has had a suffi- cient, stable funding source to allow it to properly fulfil its mandate. The biggest fear, admits Ms. Gerrits, is that the community will read about the problems and back away from the shelter at a time when it could finally begin to fulfil its mandate. The new shelter will be run under closer guidance of the board and the ministry, said Ms. Gerrits. The board is also reviewing the qualifications and job descriptions of all staff members and hopes to provide workers with the sup- port they need to do their job, she said. “That accountability is really, really needed,” said Durham MPP John O’- Toole. “When it’s operating as a shelter under the ministry it will have clearer guidelines and protocols.” NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 26, 2002 PAGE B9 A/P Over $5 million in prizes available to be won!◊ Have you driven a Ford... lately?

Phin Public School students (from left) Katie Holmes, Natasha Graham and Alannah Cautius peruse a photo album containing old pictures of their school circa 1994. The Grade 6 students at the newly-rebuilt school were on hand to welcome local dignitaries and hand out flowers at the grand reopening last week. The old school was torn down last year and a brand new facility was construct- ed on the site. Durham regional cancer centre construction begins this week Police need help finding school intruder AJAX —Durham Regional Police and Crime Stoppers need help finding an elderly man who was reportedly in the girls’ washroom of a north Ajax school. The incident happened around 11:30 a.m. Monday, June 17 at Lester B. Pearson Public School on Coughlen Street. While a 10-year-old girl was washing her hands in the washroom, an elderly man standing near a stall called her over. She re- fused, left the washroom and reported the incident to her teacher.
