The Durham Region Health Department will con- clude its public survey on a proposed regional smoking bylaw July 31. Since the end of May, the health department has con- ducted an online survey where area residents can voice their opinion on a pos- sible smoking bylaw. The new bylaw may further re- strict smoking in restau- rants, workplaces and other public areas. A dedicated telephone line is receiving voice messages as well. Pub- lic consultation meetings were also held throughout the region in June. Current- ly, each municipality has its own smoking bylaw. Pickering man killed in crash Man pronounced dead at the scene PICKERING — A Pick- ering man was killed Monday in an accident in the Central Ontario town of New Tecum- seh. A Nottawasaga OPP spokesman said Kito Christ- ian McCurdy, 29, was driving west on the 7th line in New Tecumseh at approximately 3:35 p.m. June 22, when he failed to stop at a stop sign crossing Country Road 55. Mr. McCurdy’s 2002 GMC Sierra pickup collided with a 1995 GMC Sierra pickup dri- ven by a 36-year-old Alliston man. Police say the rural inter- section is not a heavy traffic area. Mr. McCurdy was pro- nounced dead at the scene, while the Alliston man was taken to Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket with non-life threatening in- juries where he remains. OPP say alcohol was not a factor in the crash and no charges have been laid. BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Land swap or no land swap, the City still wants to keep its hands in the planning of de- velopment in north Pickering. The Province continues to push ahead with the swap of Oak Ridges Moraine lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge for others in the Seaton area of north Pickering. The public will soon get a chance to see what is in the works. Ross Fair, the Province’s project director for the north Pickering land exchange team, said the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Hous- ing’s 10-member land ex- change review panel, chaired by former Toronto mayor David Crombie, has been mandated to provide a set of principles that guide the ex- change process, how the lands are valued, and development of the north Pickering lands. He said the panel would draw up a draft set of princi- ples for early August to be taken out to meetings with the community and stakeholders for input in September. Without pinning down an exact date for when the swap would be finalized, Mr. Fair said a progress report is ex- pected later this year or early in 2003. “The first point is that a land exchange has been com- mitted to by the government with landowners in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge for land that is part of the Oak Ridges Moraine, part of which will be transferred for certain lands in Seaton of equivalent BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer PICKERING — He’s walked 50,000 kilometres in his life, visiting 40 countries. “I’ve been walking for 35 years. I’m a pilgrim for the Lord,” ‘Pilgrim’ George Walter said. This week, he’s staying in Pickering for World Youth Day, having walked most of the way from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mr. Walter is one of about 300 people being hosted by St. Isaac Jogues Church in Pickering. Mr. Walter, 61 tomorrow (Thursday), has spent his life in quiet contemplation and prayer. “I was a student and I fin- ished 12 years of seminary school in 1967. Instead of being ordained a priest, I became a pilgrim,” he said. He studied at St. Vincent Benedictine Arch Abby in La- trobe, Pennsylvania, but, “I knew something was missing, a stronger faith. I came to know God’s love in a different way,” Mr. Walter noted. He’s never questioned his lifestyle. “I’m doing God’s work. I have peace at heart. It doesn’t matter how much difficulty you encounter,” he stated. “I know God’s my father. He takes care of my needs. “People stop and give me water or food. I’ve never had to ask for food. I sleep outside in a tent. I walk and pray, but I’m not an evangelist. Everyday a few people stop and ask me. I tell them.” ‘People know I’m not walking for my health, but as a disciple of God. It’s a simple life, evangelical poverty.’ - Pilgrim George Walter He only walks in the sum- mer. In the winter, he becomes a “poustinik”, a Russian word for hermit. “I find a little room for prayer.” When he walks, Mr. Walter usually carries a staff. “People know I’m not walk- ing for my health, but as a dis- ciple of God. It’s a simple life, evangelical poverty. I have trust in God,” he said. His walking included two trips to Jerusalem. One in 1970- 71 began in Barcelona, while another began in Pittsburgh in 1988 and ended in 1999, and was “by way of Russia and India”. Mr. Walter wears sandals he made out of old tires nine years ago in Alaska. He quips they have “20,000 kilometres on them.” He began wearing his robe in 1988 and has carried the same Bible since 1973. He has sewn patches on his robe “from every country I’ve been. People give me their old jeans and I make patches. It’s a sign of my vocation, kind of a made sack cloth. It’s a sign of repentance.” He began his latest trip June 24 and met a group of eight youths, between 16 and 24 years old, also from the Grand Rapids area, at Maryhill, a small community near Guelph. From there, the group walked for three days to reach Bra- MAURICE BRENNER ‘No right to leapfrog the local planning process’.

The 22-year-old endured a 38- hour bus ride from San Antonio, Texas to take part in the activities. Pope’s visit brings them by foot, bus POPE’S from page A1 malea. The youths are “a very prayful group,” he says, adding jokingly he had to keep up with the youths and not the other way around. They travelled 58 kilometres in three days. But, Tina Wernette said, “Near the end of yesterday (Monday), I had to push myself.” As to why they walked, “it would be so exciting just to spend time to contemplate God on our pilgrimage,” she said. “It’s all the more precious if you have to work for something. I thought it would be fun.” Maria Schaheen added, “We stayed at different churches and we met dif- ferent people.” Also in the group were Scott and Ryan Anderson, Dominic Ford,Vanes- sa Van Orman, and Angie and Dan Grutter. John Medina, a San Antonio resi- dent, arrived at St. Isaac Jogues as well. His group travelled 38 hours on a Greyhound bus to be in Toronto. “It was horrible,” is how Mr. Medi- na described the trip. The 22-year-old is an art major at the University of Texas at San Anto- nio. “I came up because I wanted to see the Pope. It’s a privilege and a bless- ing,” he added. “I wanted to see Toron- to. It’s the first time I’ve been out of Texas.” Corinne Edmund and her family are opening their Pickering home to some of those attending WYD. In her case, it’s some youths from Mexico. “We put our names down to take at least two into our home. We just want- ed to be hospitable,” Mrs. Edmund said. “It’s kind of like old hat. We’ve done it before. We meet people from other countries and share stories and cultures.” “Community input on the proposed smoking bylaw issue has been very good and all comments received will be used to develop a report for review by the Region’s health and social ser- vices committee in early September,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s med- ical officer of health. To date, more than 530 responses have been logged on the Web site, while 75 messages have been received on the telephone line. At public con- sultation meetings, 75 presentations were received from local businesses and residents and 55 letters have also been received. Anyone who would still like to make their views known can call the health department at 905-723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2917 or log on to www.region.durham.on.ca before the July 31 deadline. Region works towards smoking unified bylaw REGION’S from page A1 Please recycle BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM — Computers that once worked for Durham taxpayers are being reincarnated in a very different world — they’re helping seven-year-olds learn their ABCs and giving teenagers a taste of a high-tech future. Durham Region recently donated about 100 used computers to Comput- ers for Schools. The organization co-or- dinates a federal government-led initia- tive that collects computers from gov- ernment and private sector organiza- tions, then repairs and refurbishes them for schools and libraries throughout Canada. The donation was made to the Ontario branch of the federal program. “They call them obsolete, I call them a couple of years old,” said Durham Chairman Roger Anderson of the com- puters, mostly from the Region’s works department. “I am pleased we can be part of it, of providing some students tools they’re going to need when they become adults.” The program is especially geared to disadvantaged communities, said James LeCraw, executive director. “We make sure they go not just to students but to students in the greatest need. The pro- gram evens the playing field between the have and have-not schools. It gives everybody access to a great learning tool.” Special recognition is given to disadvantaged communities, aboriginal schools, and rural and remote school boards where the need for information technology is greatest, said Mr. LeCraw. This is the second time Durham has contributed computers to the program, said Mr. Anderson. The computers are no longer “state of the art”, said Region spokesman Pat Robinson. “We couldn’t get money at auction for them but for the schools they’re very valuable.” Anyone interested in more informa- tion on the program can go online at www.schoolnet.ca/cfs-ope or can call 1- 888-636-9899.

Please recycle this paper value,” he said. “The panel will identify some principles to decide which are those lands (in Seaton) that need to remain in the public trust... we will protect environmen- tally sensitive lands in Seaton the same way we did on the Oak Ridges Moraine.” But, while developers await the decision on what part of Seaton they’ll be re- ceiving, the City may consid- er freezing all development in the north in order to assert its control over the development. At the July 29 council meeting, Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner said he will ask his colleagues to support placing an interim control freeze on development in north Pick- ering where the City is currently conducting a growth management study. The study could take up to two years to complete and is designed as a future guideline for development. Coun. Brenner said the freeze would ensure the Province doesn’t hand over irrevocable rights to de- velopment of the Seaton lands, sup- planting the local process and ren- dering the growth management study moot. “They have no right to leapfrog the local planning process,” he said. “The Province and these developers will have to follow the same rules as everybody else.” Coun. Brenner added freezing de- velopment now would ensure the municipality’s conditions for devel- opment in the north, soon to be out- lined through the growth manage- ment study, are adhered to. When asked about a freeze and how it might affect the land swap, Mr. Fair said he had no idea the City was even considering it. He was also adamant the Province has no plans to bypass the local process. “Our intention is not to run roughshod over the local planning process, absolutely not,” he said. “We will respect the local planning process. We’re simply looking at ownership of the lands.” He said he was “very hopeful” the City and Province can “move for- ward in collaboration” to find a solu- tion that works for all parties. “We need to increase the level of dialogue,” he said. “We must come to a common un- derstanding on how to move for- ward.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 24, 2002 “SERVICE WORTH PAYING FOR” Dear Customer: Thank you for your readership and continued support of our optional delivery charge program.

Help say Cheerios to heart disease Kinsmen efforts monitor hospital patients AJAX —A donation by the Ajax Kinsmen Club is a breath of fresh air for the local hospital. The club has given $5,000 to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, with the money used to buy an oxy- gen saturation monitor. The device measures oxygen saturation levels in the bloodstream in a non-invasive manner through a clip attachment. It helps determine the amount of sup- plemental oxygen a patient will need. “The Kinsmen’s mandate is to support community needs and health care is one of the greatest needs in any community,”club president Richard Zaluski said. The club recently completed its pledge of $100,000 to the hospital to buy specialized equipment for the special procedures room in the in- tensive care unit. Money was raised through bin- gos, Nevada ticket sales and com- munity fund-raising events, such as the steak barbecue held each year during Ajax Home Week. Rouge Valley has 156 beds at the Ajax site and another 411 at Cente- nary in Scarborough. There are more than 300 general practitioners and 180 specialists providing a full range of services, from pediatric to geriatric care. The way we were Hartrick House William Hartrick came to Pickering in 1816 at the age of 12 with his family. He married Phoebe Haight in 1822. He was a magistrate for 30 years and he became a major landholder, owning 200 acres north of Kingston Road, extending to Ross- land Road. The Hartricks built this house, at 22 Lin- ton Ave., in 1843 and after their death, 65 acres at the rear of the property was left to a son, William, and the stone house and surrounding property was left to daughter Lydia. Linton Avenue was named after Lydia. The house is designated under the On- tario Heritage Act. Photos supplied by the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee on behalf of the Ajax Community Archives.

New Premier Ernie Eves and his Progressive Conservatives are try- ing to pin the label on Dalton McGuinty and his Liberals, who lead in polls, although now only narrowly, with an election due next year. Mr. McGuinty had attracted no- tice criticizing the Tories for plan- ning to privatize the provincially- owned hydro transmission network, although they have now decided to sell only a minority interest. But the Tories have found Mr. McGuinty said not long ago he thought government should priva- tize it to provide some competition, while leaving the Province oversee- ing its operation. The Tories also are reminding voters Mr. McGuinty complained it was not the government’s job to provide a code of conduct in schools, when Mr. Eves’s predeces- sor as premier, Mike Harris, was bringing in such a code. The Liberal leader has suggest- ed recently, however, schools should be required to instil disci- pline and respect as a mandatory part of their curriculum, which sounds much the same as the To- ries’ scheme. He appeared to have been moved to some degree by his own 17-year-old son being mugged in the street. Mr. McGuinty has opposed giv- ing business more tax cuts until ser- vices are better funded, but told business leaders he is “all for low- ering business taxes.” The Liberal leader also volun- teered he liked the idea of bringing back photo radar to catch lawbreak- ing motorists, which the Tories abolished, but when asked, said he has no immediate plans to do so. The Tories are complaining he wants to have his cake and eat it. Marking Mr. McGuinty as a flip-flopper helps the Tories be- cause, while Mr. Harris’s far-right policies have declined in populari- ty, his stature as a politician who announced policies and stuck to them, so the public knew where he stood, remains widely praised as a model other politicians should fol- low. But Mr. Eves and his Tories are on shaky ground when they point at the Liberals for flip-flopping. Mr. Eves, for example, went along with selling the hydro transmission net- work until large opposition to it de- veloped. Mr. Eves has postponed tax cuts that had been scheduled by Mr. Harris,although he was a key figure in drawing up a law that was sup- posed to prevent successor govern- ments causing such delays. Mr. Eves has not the slightest objection to same-sex couples mar- rying, although he and Mr. Harris once fought tooth-and-nail and won a notorious byelection opposing rights for gays. Mr. Eves’s government is now even talking of bringing back photo radar, which the Tories abolished claiming it was ‘Big Brother’ peer- ing into residents’ lives and de- signed to rip off their cash rather than help road safety. Parties inevitably and legiti- mately change policies because of changing needs and resources and voters often accept them. Mr. Eves is benefiting in polls because they like his more moderate policies. But parties also sometimes have lost support when they were seen to reverse dramatically because of self-interest. New Democrat premier Bob Rae abandoned several cherished party policies, the most notable being government auto insurance, when he concluded public opposi- tion would be too large, and lost tra- ditional supporters and others who felt he abandoned principles. Lyn McLeod, Liberal leader in the 1995 election, wavered on a promise to support gay rights when Mr. Harris tapped a well of opposi- tion and was dogged wherever she went by gay activists waving plac- ards denouncing it as a flip-flop, which gave her an image of being easily swayed. But the most notable flip-flop of recent times was by a Tory, premier William Davis, who won an elec- tion partly by refusing to extend provincial funding to the end of Roman Catholic high schools, but granted it just before he retired in 1985. Mr. Davis was seen as wanting to repay the wily G. Emmett Cardi- nal Carter, who had turned the other cheek and even publicly praised the premier, but his reversal helped get his successor booted out of office. The danger to Mr. McGuinty is he may be seen as dithering and in- decisive and to Mr. Eves, who has made many important decisions, that he is changing merely for votes and will do anything to win an elec- tion.

At least it should be but sadly is not for the many who are subject to van- dalism each year across the Region. The most troubling reports come from Port Perry where a 40-member seniors residence, believe it or not, is the target of rock-throwing vandals. In what are truly shameful incidents, residents aged 75-91 who live at the Immaculate Conception Seniors Residence, have been seemingly targeted. Vera Fawns, who is 82 and has high blood pressure, was just sitting recently and watching TV at 10 p.m. when she had a rock smash through her front window. Just six months ago, she had the same terrifying experience. It’s just too much for her, and Mrs. Fawns wants to move. The residence has also been subject to break-ins, stolen flags, whiskey bottles and BB pellets being thrown or shot through windows in addition to names, initials and even swastikas being carved into cars in the parking lot. It shouldn’t be this way for any residents in our Region but it’s particularly cruel to pick on senior citizens. The battle to fight vandalism has to take place on many different fronts. The most cowardly of criminals, vandals do their deeds under cover of darkness, never fac- ing their victims, scurrying away like rats before they can be identified or captured. The police do all they can to keep an eye out for ne- farious actions. Patrols of both uniformed and plain clothes officers are part of the plan to cut down on van- dals and other criminals. Another important part of the battle is to make good on recovering costs from the par- ents of those young offenders convicted of causing dam- ages. Other innovative prevention includes consideration to where benches and bushes are located in relation to light- ing. Some municipalities are using measures like special paint on concrete surfaces that makes spray-paint cleanup from graffiti easier. Clarington, for instance, is offering a competition to paint murals where graffiti is often the re- sult. “They won’t paint over each other’s work so it gives the community a little more control over what goes on,” says Durham Regional Police Inspector Tom Cameron. Above all, the war on vandalism requires involvement from all of us. Those who happen to see acts of vandal- ism must do the right thing and report what they’ve wit- nessed to police. Only an active, involved populace eager to make life miserable for vandals can hope to keep our public and private property safe from those who seek to destroy. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 24, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Durham could be diversion leader To the editor: Re: ‘Time to get serious about di- version,’editorial July 10. The Region of Durham has is- sued a request for proposal (RFP) for collection and disposal of resi- dential municipal waste within the boundaries of Durham. The RFP asks for innovative municipal waste diversion options. It seems Durham’s commissioner of works has missed the boat by indicating energy from waste (incineration) is an option that will be explored in looking for ways to cut waste going to landfill. The Durham Citizens Waste Ad- visory Committee submitted a number of recommendations in its final report to the Durham works department. The main recommendations are: A three-stream waste collection system for Durham: composting, recycling, and garbage; All organic composting to be grade “A”; No importing of municipal waste from outside Durham; No new green landfills to be located in Durham; and private, small businesses to have free recycling pickup. Pickering’s pilot three-stream cart waste collection system has been extremely successful, with waste diversion from landfill around 63 to 75 per cent. Durham Region’s present municipal waste diversion is 22 to 25 per cent. Three final bidders made pre- sentations to the Durham works de- partment. Miller Waste met all con- ditions as requested in the RFP and one other bidder offered usage of incineration facilities in Niagara Region. The other bidder offered no method for composting or recy- cling materials and no facility was presented in its proposal. Mr. Commissioner, wake up and smell the roses. You have a chance to do municipal waste diversion in a manner that would make Durham Region a leader. The timing is perfect because,as you know, the provincial govern- ment is offering 50-per cent fund- ing to all municipalities that divert 50 per cent of garbage from land- fill. David Steele, Chairman, Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment If chairman job’s beyond voters grasp, what can they decide? To the editor: Re: ‘By appointment only,’July 14. So, Durham council reached the conclusion it is best to continue ap- pointing the regional chairman rather than elect him, and to forego having a referendum on the issue, as it is too complex for the citizen- ry to make an informed decision. It is rather curious we elect the mayors and local and regional councillors, but we cannot elect the regional chairman, which could be done at the same time. If we em- brace the logic of our illustrious re- gional council, the conclusion should then be we cancel all future elections, as the electorate cannot possibly be trusted to make a wise and informed decision on such complex issues.

NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 24, 2002 PAGE A7 P Toronto’s recent labour dispute, coupled with the accumulated garbage that lined the streets and filled the parks, both indicated political mis- management and reflected residents’ unwillingness to practice diligently the 3Rs and to compost. We are a society that takes pride in our homes and tidies up when compa- ny is expected. Why can we not extend that mind- set beyond our driveways both for the health of our community and the at- traction for tourists? Now that the strike is over, Toron- tonians, for the most part, have settled back into the ‘out-of-sight, out-of- mind’ mode where instead they should have become accustomed to: purchasing only what is necessary; listening to ‘how-to-compost’ talk shows as well as seeing Mary Appel- hof’s book ‘Worms Eat My Garbage’ become a best-seller; lugging a mug and plate for our fast-food addictions; planning ahead to reuse bags for shop- ping; packing litterless lunches; creat- ing a larger corner of their garages or living space to gather clean recy- clables; and switching to cloth dia- pers. Our provincial government all but removed environmental issues from its agenda. If Michigan were to close its borders to Durham’s garbage, where our regional politicians gleeful- ly agreed to ship it after 2002, would Durham parents return to cloth dia- pers? With the convenience of a washer and dryer, doing a diaper laundry every third day isn’t very difficult. The savings alone make it inviting. Here are five easy steps to washing diapers. • Buy three- to four-dozen cloth di- apers. They can be the fitted diapers with the Velcro tabs or the flat type with pins that take less time to dry. Deposit any feces into the toilet for proper sewage treatment — a message the manufacturers of disposables do not promote loud and clear; • Place in a diaper pail with a lid and add a little cold water to the pail; • When ready to do a diaper laun- dry, add hot water and soap to pail and let soak. Place in machine and spin out water then push for a normal wash; and • Dry thoroughly in dryer or hang outside. Sunlight bleaches and steril- izes. Think of great-grandmothers who not only had to buy material and make diapers, but also were limited to wash- boards without the convenience of dryers in the winter months. Think of World Youth Day. Think about the negative effects our waste does to the environment. Individually you can make a difference to our youths’future. ••• COMING EVENT: Sunday, July 28 from noon to 5 p.m., the Rouge- Duffins Greenspace Coalition spon- sors a Green Door Rally at Wild Things Farm, 2825 York-Durham Town Line, north of Taunton Road.

Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty, the Ontario Enter- prise, Opportunity and Inno- vation Minister, is currently joining a contingent of On- tario aerospace companies at Farnborough International 2002, one of the world’s most prestigious air shows. The show, July 22 to 28, represents a prime opportuni- ty for aerospace firms to reach global markets, say representatives of Mr. Fla- herty. “We need to increase awareness of Ontario as a preferred investment location for global aerospace compa- nies,” Mr. Flaherty says. “It’s important that Ontario pro- motes partnerships and direct investment from aerospace companies in the United Kingdom, France and other international markets,” he adds. Ontario will have a booth at the air show, provid- ing a forum for making busi- ness contacts. “Ontario’s aerospace in- dustry is the heartland of in- tegrated systems and equip- ment capability, and it has the most attractive environ- ment for these kinds of glob- ally competitive firms,” says Rod Jones, executive direc- tor, Ontario Aerospace Council. Mr. Flaherty will at- tend meetings in France and Ireland to encourage invest- ment and expand trade op- portunities for Ontario auto- motive, bio-technical, and aerospace firms.

Some are applicable year round. NEVER LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN A PARKED CAR IN WARM WEATHER. Even if the car is parked in the shade and the windows are cracked open. The interior of a car can reach excessive temperatures. Your companion animal could suffer from heat stroke, brain damage or even death. IF YOU LEAVE YOUR PET OUTSIDE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, MAKE SURE IT HAS ACCESS TO PLENTY OF CLEAN, FRESH WATER, PROPER SHELTERING AND LOTS OF SHADE. It is not advisable to leave your companion animal outside for any extended period of time. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL TO FEND FOR ITSELF. Arrange for a responsible pet sitter or a responsible boarding kennel to care for your pet. If you take your cat or dog with you, make sure it always wears a collar with current I.D. EXERCISE YOUR PET MODERATELY IN THE MORNING OR EVENING WHEN IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE. Use common sense and do not make your dog run behind your bike or roller blades. Don’t let your dog ride in the open back of a pick-up truck. The risk is too great for both your dog and other motorists. GROOM YOUR PET ON A REGULAR BASIS. Regular grooming will keep your cat or dog free of matts and excess hair, while also helping to detect fleas and ticks. Shaving an animal is not a good idea as fur actually insulates and protects the skin from sun and insect bites. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CAT OR DOG TO RUN AT LARGE. Warm weather means an increase in roaming animals. Make sure your companion animal is confined to the indoors or to your yard. SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO WELCOME A NEW ANIMAL INTO YOUR HOME. Make sure you are ready and committed to bringing an animal home for the rest of its life - not just the duration of the summer. If you are able to accept the responsibilities of being a pet owner, please visit the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services Centre where there are many wonderful animals needing a loving home. S.

Sports NEWS ADVERTISER JULY 24, 2002 Golden Games for Shamasdin Pickering teen earns singles title, teams with Kirk for second gold PICKERING — Two Pickering tennis players served up individual and team medals from the 2002 Ontario Summer Games in Kitchener-Waterloo last weekend. Irfan Shamasdin, 13, captured a pair of medals on the court, winning the in- dividual boys’crown in five consecutive matches, while also teaming up with Maia Kirk, 13, to bring home the mixed title. Kirk also brought back a bronze from the girls’singles event. The 2002 Ontario Summer Games ended Sunday, with more than 2,500 athletes up to age 22 from across the province competing in 20 events. Ap- proximately 80 athletes from Ajax and Pickering made the trek. In the gold-medal final, Shamasdin started strongly to take the first set 6-2 over Ryan Chow of Toronto. Chow fought to 4-4 in the second set before Shamasdin broke serve with strong re- turns and backhand winners to take a 5- 4 lead. He then served out the match without surrendering another point to take the gold medal 6-2, 6-4, at Water- loo’s Northfield Racquet Club. In round-robin action, the member of the Pickering Tennis Academy at the Pickering Recreation Complex defeated Matthew Porter of Richmond Hill 6-1, 6-2, Daniel Gordon of Sarnia 6-2, 6-3 and Graeme Morrisey of Hamilton 6-3, 7-5. In the playoffs, Shamasdin defeated Broncos Lai of Markham 6-4, 6-0 to earn a berth in the final. Meanwhile, in the team event, Shamasdin defeated Nicolas Knowles of Hamilton 6-1, 6-2, while Kirk lost to Taylor Ormond of Hamilton 6-0. 6-2. The duo captured gold with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Knowles and Ormond. Shamasdin and Kirk started out by defeating GTA East 3-0 in the first round-robin match. Shamasdin defeated Porter 6-2, 6-2, while Kirk beat Alyssa Odell-Mackow, of Scarborough, 6-4, 6- 1. They defeated Lai and Odell-Mack- ow 6-3, 6-2. Next, Shamasdin and Kirk beat the Ontario-at-large team 2-0, with Shamasdin defeating Daniel Gordon 6- 3, 6-3, while Kirk beat Megan Bedeau of Toronto 4-6, 6-1, 7-3 (in a tiebreak- er). In girls’ singles play, Kirk defeated first-round opponent Odell-Mackow 6- 4, 6-1. On Friday, she lost a close deci- sion to Ormond 4-6, 3-6. But, she re- turned to the winner’s circle after deci- sively defeating Alexandra Kirschbaum 7-5, 6-0. MAIA KIRK Two tennis medals for Pickering teen at Ontario Summer Games. See TENNIS page B3 Please recycle this newspaper PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers under-11 girls’‘B’soccer team contin- ued its winning ways, ex- tending its season-opening winning streak with two more wins recently. The victories improve the Pickering team’s league record to 4-0 on the season. Along the way, the team has piled up 21 goals for and al- lowed only one against. The Panthers started slow- ly against Tottenham, but later picked up the pace to score an impressive 5-0 vic- tory for their fourth win. Midway through the first half, Pickering took the lead on a goal by Gillian Clayton. The Panthers began to domi- nate play as the game pro- gressed. Second-half goals came from Lauren Gilles with two, Karin Toomsalu and Marissa Smith. The Panthers excelled in all facets of their game against Tottenham. Defend- ers cleared the ball well and challenged all forays into their zone. Midfielders car- ried the ball well and set up numerous scoring opportuni- ties, while the forwards worked well together. In the third game of the season, the Panthers pulled off a solid 2-1 win over Wex- ford. The Pickering girls re- lied on hard work, sound goaltending and opportunis- tic scoring. Clayton played an out- standing game for the Pan- thers, carrying and passing the ball with authority, as well as challenging the oppo- sition when Wexford had possession. Clayton’s hard work was rewarded early. She got possession within the Wexford crease, eluded a de- fender and made a timely kick as the goalkeeper charged toward her. The ball threaded past the Wexford keeper and nestled inside the right post. Play see-sawed back and forth from end to end for the rest of the first half. Striker Kelly Craig carried the ball well, relieving pressure in the Panthers’zone as well as cre- ating scoring chances. Craig’s effort, combined with the tenacity of the defenders and midfielders, allowed Pickering to carry the play by the beginning of the second half. Karlie Doucette placed an accurate kick over the out- stretched hands of the Wex- ford keeper into the top right corner of the goal to extend the lead to 2-0. Wexford re- sponded with a goal midway through the second half. Wexford also had a break- away, but Marissa Smith chased the striker down, stripped her of the ball and cleared the zone. Smith made several critical challenges that robbed Wexford of scor- ing chances. The Panthers, however, continued to work hard, and with the aid of keeper Shona Dunkley’s en- ergetic display, Pickering se- cured the win. Hans Toomsalu and Gary Smith coach the team.

On July 21, 1974, as he prepared for PGA Tour Qualifying School, 24-year-old Dennis Walters was paralyzed from the waist down when his golf cart flipped on a steep hill. He had finished 11th in the 1971 U.S. Amateur, the last year it was a stroke-play event. He then turned pro and played the South African PGA Tour, leading some to predict stardom. After slowly rebuilding his life and his career, Walters now conducts more than 100 clinics and exhibitions annually. He hits an astonishing array of golf shots from a swivel seat attached to the passenger side of a golf cart. He is so accurate and so consistent that some call him “the human robot.” More than this, Walters talks passionately about overcoming obstacles and reaching for dreams. He was selected as the only golfer to appear with Tiger Woods during Woods’summer clinics for inner-city juniors. Walters consistently wows fans with his shot- making talent. With financial support from the U.S. Golf Association Foundation, Walters offi- cially represents the USGA. One of the missions of the USGA Foundation is to promote golf for individuals with physical handi- caps. Walters is my longtime buddy. I recently helped him write a book about his life, although the emotions I feel about Walters and his struggle cannot be conveyed in any book. Consider the nightmare: Golf was everything to him; instantly, it was taken away. He was alone at the time of the acci- dent, which occurred at Roxiticus Golf Club in Mendham, N.J. His friend Ralph Terry, an active major league pitcher and a PGA golf professional, found him. During rehabilitation, Walters was told he could make money by repairing watches. This made him angry, almost as angry as the doctor who said,“You ’re not going to get any better. You ’re never going to be able to walk again. You ’re never going to play golf again.” Months later, after veteran golf professional Alec Ternyei created the swivel seat for his golf cart, Walters returned to the rehabilitation center. He set up his cart in the parking lot and started hitting balls over a highway onto Essex County Country Club, where he once had been medalist in qualifying for the U.S. Amateur. “The patients were hanging out of the build- ing, watching me, and they were cheering,” Walters said. “Television people came. The news- papers came. The doctor who told me I wouldn’t play golf came out, and he shook my hand. ‘I was wrong. I’ll never tell that to anyone again,’he said. It gave me a real boost of confidence.” There are so many Dennis Walters stories. After the accident, his left Achilles tendon atrophied, and Walters required surgery to length- en the tendon. In the operating room, an anesthesi- ologist said,“OK, it’s time to put you under.” “Why?”Walters quickly asked. The anesthesiologist replied,“Right, you can’t feel anything down there.” Freed from his duties, the anesthe- siologist discussed golf swings with Walters for more than an hour during the surgery. When the hospital bill arrived, it included $1,500 for the anesthesiologist. Walters once conducted a show in Washington for the National Rehabilitation Hospital. President George H. W. Bush came up to Walters and Muffin, his dog. “Who have we here?”he asked. Without missing a beat, Walters answered, “That’s Muffin, and she is a good little Republican.” At a Senior PGA Tour event in Napa, Calif., in front of 1,500 spectators, Walters was demon- strating his technique for bunker shots. Balanced on a crutch with one arm and swinging a sand wedge with the other, Walters instructed,“Don’t be timid with this shot. You must be aggressive.” At that moment, Senior Tour players J.C. Snead and Dave Hill got into a fistfight. When onlookers broke it up, Snead had his foot on Hill’s throat. “And he was wearing his spikes,” Walters recalled. Five minutes later, Walters resumed his show. “I said be aggressive,”he quipped to the audi- ence,“but not that aggressive. These two guys are ridiculous.” Walters has his own “Yogi-ism,”reflecting an encounter with Yogi Berra, the legendary catcher for the New York Yankees. “I’m a big Yankees fan,”Walters told Yogi when the Hall of Famer marched to the tee. After hitting his tee shot within a few feet of the hole, Walters asked Berra for an auto- graph. He was ready with his own ball and Sharpie pen. Yogi started writing, very deliberately, and seemed to be having some trouble. When he finished, he handed the ball and pen to Walters and said,“It’s really hard to write on these pimples.” On the side of an inter- state highway in Indiana, Walters sat on top of a small trailer with a flat tire in his golf cart with his dog, Muffin. Walters casually read a newspaper as trucks and cars flew past. A semi blew the newspaper from his hands. Unable to walk, he couldn’t retrieve it. To guard against the theft of Walters’cus- tomized cart, his friend Bucky took the tire to be repaired, while Walters remained in the cart atop the trailer. Thousands of vehicles zipped past, people gawking at Walters and Muffin as if they were some kind of roadside freak show. Not one per- son stopped.

In fact, it is common to hear about people considering an electric vehicle or a hybrid (gas and electric model) to save money on energy costs. However, have you ever heard of a car powering a house? According to scientists at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), electric vehicles may one day supply electricity to the power grid. They could serve as generators when they are not on the road (90 percent of the time for most vehicles), helping alleviate electricity shortages and saving money for the consumer. If proven cost effective, such vehicles could become widely used, and could generate enough electricity to reduce the requirement for global central station generation capacity by up to 20 percent by the year 2050. The most likely car of the future is a fuel-cell powered hybrid using hydrogen or a hydrocarbon fuel, like gasoline, as the primary source of electric power. This vehicle would combine the high efficiency of the fuel cell with the ability to generate excess electricity. On arriving home in the evening, the consumer would plug the car into the house, power all the home appliances, and generate excess electricity to sell back to the grid.

PICKERING —An Ajax artist is display- ing a cross-section of her works in Pickering until September. Pamela Auguste opened her one-woman show of pastels, watercolours, oils and pen and ink drawings at the Pickering Nuclear Informa- tion Centre of Ontario Power Generation (OPG) on July 22. It runs until Sept. 22. A member of the PineRidge Arts Council, Auguste entered art school in London, Eng- land, in her youth but abandoned studies due to the Blitz. Later with careers in health and nu- trition, she retained a keen interest in the visu- al arts. She favours pastels, but works in the medi- um she feels best fits the painting. A pen-and- ink drawing is constantly in progress as it is easy to pick up and work on. Now semi-retired, Auguste is an active member of Ajax Creative Arts and was one of the planners of its millennium project of pen and ink studies of the heritage buildings at the Pickering Museum Village. These drawings were featured in the book ‘If Walls Could Talk’. Her current 15-painting exhibition at OPG includes local and Spanish scenes. Juried shows that Auguste has exhibited in during the last decade include Buckhorn, Gallery on the Lake, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering. The Information Centre is at 1675 Mont- gomery Park Rd., just west of Brock Road, and is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free. They’d tell tale of Ajax artist’s varied work – including a local and Spanish touch Pamela Auguste poses in front of one of the 15 pieces of work she currently has on display at the Pickering Nuclear Informa- tion Centre. The one-woman show features pastels, watercolours, oils, and pen and ink drawings. Yeah baby! Austin Powers is back AJAX — The Ajax Cine- plex Odeon 10 has a groovy promotion baby to go with the release of ‘Austin Powers in Goldmem- ber’. On Saturday, July 27, there’s all-day activi- ties, including an Austin Pow- ers look-a-like contest at 6 p.m. Patrons can dress like a character in the movie or wear any 1960s or ‘70s retro attire. Prizes will be awarded, in- cluding movie passes, gift cer- tificates for local restau- rants and movie promotional items. A fully re- stored 1979 Austin Mini will be in the lobby during the day, while a live DJ will spin ‘60s and ‘70s music. Also, a por- tion of the lobby will be decorated like Austin Powers’ shag-a-delic pad. All staff will be dressed in ‘60s or ‘70s at- tire. And, the theatre’s own Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Nigel and Foxxy Cleopatra will be making guest appearances to greet and have their pictures taken with pa- trons. Free face painting will be done all day for children and there will be ballots for a ‘win a trip to Britain’contest. The cost for the activity is a ticket to the show. The theatre is at Pickering Beach Road and Hwy. 2 in Ajax. Careers505 CHRISTIAN Non-Profit day- care is looking for a full-time permanent teacher.

Cutting back advertising puts you at a disadvantage at the very moment you need an edge. Increased advertising gives you an edge. 2 Your advertising is part of your sales force. Ads help to presell the customer and help you close the sale faster. What saves you time saves you money. 3 Here’s a hard fact to chew on: Over any given period, a company that advertises below the industry average has sales that are below the industry average. 4 Advertising is news - about products and services. Most shoppers look for this kind of news in the pages of the newspaper. In boom times, retailers often experiment with other media. But, when the going gets tough they concentrate their efforts in newspaper because it provides an immediate payoff at the cash register. A/P PAGE B8 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, July 24, 2002
