The victim was working with his wife at the TD Bank on Oklahoma Drive when he was attacked while taking out the trash at about 2:30 a.m. Durham Regional Police said two men armed with a handgun confronted the victim, demanded money and struck him in the head with a blunt object. When the victim’s 52-year-old wife rushed to her husband’s aid and screamed, one of the bandits pointed the gun at her, police said. The robbers took the man’s wallet, which had no money, and fled.The Ajax man was treated at hospital for cuts to his lip and face requiring stitches. His wife was not hurt. Both suspects were wearing dark clothing, black ski masks, are about 5-foot-10, and 150 to 160 pounds.

Mind those bats DURHAM —Durham resi- dents are reminded to take precau- tions against exposure to bats dur- ing the summer months. Bats are known carriers of dis- ease and can transmit rabies to people, sometimes without the per- son even being aware, says Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham’s associ- ate medical officer of health. “Bats have needle-sharp teeth and can bite without leaving a mark. If a person is asleep, they may not know they’ve been bitten,” she says If a human is exposed to a bat, the best option is to have the bat tested for rabies, says Dr. Reynolds. Human exposure in- cludes touching a bat, waking to find a bat in the same room or find- ing a bat with unsupervised infants or young children. If the bat is not available for testing, patients and their doctors should consider rabies treatment in consultation with the health department, says Dr. Reynolds.

OMB OKs harbour company plan for lakefront homes, revamped marina BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Despite cries from local environmental- ists, citizens groups and Picker- ing council, the Ontario Munic- ipal Board (OMB) has given the Pickering Harbour Compa- ny (PHC) all it requested in its proposal to redevelop the east shore of Frenchman’s Bay. “We got everything we asked for and I’m not sur- prised,” said Harold Hough, president of the Pickering Har- bour Company. “Now all the pieces are in place to make the east shore a viable waterfront. We have the public space, the residential, and we might even have some office space... this is long overdue. It should have been done 20 years ago.” The OMB approved the plan to build 66 townhouses to re- place the East Shore Marina’s boat storage area on the north- ern portion of the PHC’s mari- na lands on the west side of Liverpool Road. Boat storage will move to the former Cool- water Farms property on the east side of Liverpool, while boat launching and marina op- erations will be revamped and continue on the south end of the existing marina lands. Twenty-six of the new town- homes will front Liverpool, but only eight will have commer- cially convertible ground floors to house retail operations such as restaurants, cafes and shops. At the OMB hearing held last month, the City requested only 26 townhouses be built, all with commercially convertible ground floors and all fronting Liverpool. It also asked that the existing marina remain as it is. In their decision, presiding OMB members Wilson Lee and Jennifer Smout said the PHC plan represented good planning and the City’s opposi- tion was weak and unconvinc- ing. “The development proposal will have a beneficial effect overall. By injecting a residen- tial use into the vicinity, it will usher into this community a more year-round life and as RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo Old blue eyes PICKERING –– Elio Xhemalaj has not a care in the world as he splashes about in the wading pool at Petticoat Creek Conservation Area on Sunday.

Board moves on Pickering waterfront Pickering firefighters busy doing house calls Home inspections help promote safety, establish connection with service BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer PICKERING —Most fires happen in the home, so the fire departments here are going door-to-door to ensure residents are safe. Ajax Fire and Emergency Services has a program called Safe at Home, while Picker- ing Fire Services has the Home Safety Program. In both instances, a voluntary in- spection is conducted, with fire personnel looking for po- tential hazards and checking smoke alarms. “It’s a good program,” said Thom Evered, chief fire in- spection officer in Ajax. “It shows in our statistics on fire calls how proactive we are. Most fires are in the home. Let’s go to the source of the problem and solve it before it happens.” Pickering Fire Chief Bill Douglas noted firefighters hand out pamphlets and ask homeowners if they can have a fire prevention officer do an inspection. “We walk through the house with them,” the chief said. “We want firefighters to meet the people, talk to them. We ask if they have any ques- tions on fire safety, the fire service.” Ajax resident Dixie Walker can attest to the benefits of Safe at Home. Recently, fire- fighters knocked on his door and conducted an inspection of his Forest Road home. They found two of three smoke alarms weren’t work- ing properly, which under the program, were replaced free of charge. “They asked if they could come in and I said ‘sure’,” he said. “They did a tour of my house and garage. I had three blankets on the electric water heater and he asked me to re- move them. They checked the garage thoroughly.” One of his alarms was in- stalled in 1982 and Mr. Walk- er was told the units have a 10-year lifespan. He said the results were surprising. “Yes, but like he said, they’re only good for 10 years,” Mr. Walker said. “I’m quite glad they did come. I had a fire long ago.” In that fire most of the damage was caused by smoke. Mr. Walker lamented some people aren’t letting firefight- JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Dixie Walker checks to make sure his smoke alarm is in good working order after a visit and friendly inspection by local firefighters. New Frenchman’s Bay plan being floated Councillors to push for water taxis by next summer BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —A little piece of Venice may soon be coming to Pickering. Regional councillors Mark Holland and Maurice Brenner are set to unveil a new plan for a water taxi to take people back and forth across Frenchman’s Bay from four destinations along the water’s edge. The $1-million plan for the vaporetto, named after the water taxis in Venice, Italy, would see one 12- to 15-person pontoon boat travel around the bay to newly constructed docks on the east spit, west spit, Bruce Hanscombe Memorial Park on the west shore of the bay, and the soon-to-be-con- structed Front Street Park on the east shore. The vaporetto would be a free ride and used to connect the waterfront trail along the shores of Lake Ontario, while giving people a chance to take a short 15- to 17-minute tour of Frenchman’s Bay. New boardwalks along the DAVID STEELE ‘Disappointed the OMB didn’t take the environment into consideration.’ See HOME page A2 See PICKERING page A4 See EAST page A2 such it will rejuvenate a much more seasonal-oriented dis- trict,” the decision reads. “Sim- ply put, the proposal will give birth to a community, inspire synergy for residential and com- mercial vitality, enable preser- vation of the water’s edge, allow infill in a fully serviced area, upgrade or improve a marina, renew viability to a site former- ly used as a sewage treatment facility, enhance the Millenni- um Square and allow the possi- ble preservation of a nautical theme.” Mr. Lee and Ms. Smout said the fact Pickering’s planning de- partment and the PHC were close to agreement on redevel- opment before council stepped in and made changes was a fac- tor in their decision. Pickering Ajax Citizen’s To- gether for the Environment (PACT), Pickering East Shore Community Association (PESCA), and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) were all represented at the two-week hearing in July, opposing the plan for environ- mental reasons. However, the OMB mem- ber’s decision stated the PHC’s proposed storm water manage- ment system, which includes storm sceptres, buffer, filter and vegetative strips, and a gravel trench for sediment control, would constitute an “immense improvement” over non-exis- tent protection features in place today. Mr. Hough said the PHC is currently negotiating to sell off all or part of the development rights and whoever does the work may be in a position to start construction in the spring of 2003. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, who led the fight against the PHC plan, said the decision was a huge disappoint- ment. “It was very hard to read and left me with sour feelings. A two-year planning process with community input and a plan that received wide accolades was tossed out the window by the board and the City of Pickering is left with nothing,” he said. “This is going to have a big im- pact on the vision for a nautical village on the waterfront.” PACT chairman David Steele said he was “disappoint- ed, but not surprised,” because City planners did approve the PHC plan from the outset. “Pickering’s planning de- partment let us down,” he said. “We are disappointed the OMB didn’t take the environment into consideration. This is just busi- ness as usual without any re- spect for the environment... It’s all about the dollars and it’s not really a level playing field is it?” He said if PACT had the $50,000 required to devise an improved storm water manage- ment system for the east shore, he is sure the OMB would have been more apt to approve that one than the storm sceptres which he said are not a “cure- all” for storm water manage- ment. PACT is now requesting PHC and TRCA keep them ap- prised of all the work in creating the system, Mr. Steele added.

It ensures people in Ajax are living safely.” The Ajax Royal Canadian Legion branch and the local Canadian Tire are involved, Mr. Evered noted. The legion has donated $1,000 and the smoke alarms are purchased through Canadian Tire. The Pickering program doesn’t offer free alarms. Mr. Evered noted firefighters look to ensure there are enough smoke alarms, with one on each floor. They also ensure any flamma- ble liquids are safely stored, in ap- proved containers away from possi- ble ignition sources. “We make the customer feel safe,” he said. As this is only the second year for the program, “it will probably take a number of years to complete the town. We’re starting on the older streets and we’ll work to the newer ones,” he added. “It’s voluntary. If the people aren’t at home, firefighters leave a calling card. A week before they go to do the street, they drop off a call- ing card saying they’ll be in the neighbourhood.” If the homeowner is away, they can call and arrange another time, Mr. Evered added. The program runs weekdays from May to October, although a safety inspection can be done anytime of the year. This year, 364 homes have been inspected so far and Mr. Evered esti- mates between 600 and 700 homes will be done. Most homes are “normally in pretty good shape,” he noted. The main problems are com- bustible items too close to the fur- nace and someone using too many extension cords. Pickering has also had “pretty good results so far,” Chief Douglas said. So far, 160 homes have been can- vassed, with about one-third re- questing an inspection. “We make sure the house has smoke alarms on each level, there’s a CO monitor, a portable extinguish- er, an extensive use of extension cords, how combustibles are stored, bird’s nest in a light fixture,” he said. “We try to make it as positive as possible. We try to make sure they’re safe.” For more information or to arrange an inspection, call the Ajax fire prevention and public safety di- vision at 905-683-7791. In Picker- ing, call the fire prevention office at 905-420-4628. HOME from page A1 Catholic board custodians off the job BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —With neither side budging on the key issue of workload, and striking Durham Catholic District School Board custodians unwilling to agree to voluntary, binding arbitration, the two sides remain where they have been for months: dead- locked. Roughly 170 custodial and maintenance workers began picketing the board’s Oshawa headquarters and some region schools Monday, commencing a legal strike three weeks before the start of the school year. The board does not anticipate any delay in the school year start, noting much of the work to get its facilities ready has already taken place. The board and Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees Local 218 have been at an impasse for months, stuck on the issue of the square-footage area a custodian is responsible for maintaining. The board wants to increase the area but the union is adamantly opposed. “We’re going to have a very organized, peaceful job action here, we’re not going to be radi- cal,” Don Bryans, CUPE 218 president, said in an interview Monday. He said pickets will focus on the education centre in Oshawa, but will be randomly targeting schools as well. Pickets are blocking driveways, forcing those who want to access the buildings to wait 10 to 15 min- utes. The union was fuming on Day 1 of the action, claiming the board is forcing summer stu- dents who normally work under custodial supervision to do the custodians’jobs. “They have them putting the furniture in, doing the custodial jobs,” said Mr. Bryans. “I’m hav- ing parents call me saying they’re a little dismayed that their sons and daughters are being put into this position.” Mr. Bryans said he has no beef with the students, but added the board’s use of inexperienced students was in violation of the health and safety act. Linda Newman, a CUPE na- tional representative who works out of Oshawa, said she lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Labour Monday. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin denied the claims. “No students are doing work that’s unsupervised right now,” she said in an interview Monday. “Our students are being super- vised by management.” She said to her knowledge no student is doing the work of a custodian. Trustee Martin said the board is unable to accede to the union’s demand on square footage be- cause it can’t afford to maintain the status quo. “We are not getting funding from the envelope the govern- ment is providing us with to keep up with the employees we have and the square footage they cover,” she said. Lorraine Clarke, CUPE 218 bargaining chairman, said each custodian currently is responsi- ble for maintaining 17,800 square feet of space on a night shift. The board wants to in- crease that to 20,000 square feet at elementary schools and 24,000 at the secondary levels. Trustee Martin said custodi- ans have been offered a 5.5 per cent pay hike over two years, retroactive to Sept. 1, 2001, in addition to “substantial improve- ments” to the benefit package. At the end of mediated talks Friday, Trustee Martin said the board offered to submit to volun- tary binding arbitration, an offer refused by the union. But Ms. Clarke said that process has traditionally not favoured unions. No new talks are planned,and each side said it is waiting for the other party to make an overture.

Marnie Daly, president of the Durham elementary unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA), joined the custodian and maintenance workers on the picket line in front of the Oshawa education centre Monday. She said the unit fully sup- ports the custodians, and teachers are being asked to demonstrate that. “We’ve given the teachers a directive,” she said. “They are not to cross any picket lines until they are legally re- quired to do so, which is Sept. 3 (when school starts).” Ms. Daly said teachers are being asked to do as much preparation at home as possi- ble. If the strike is still under way when school starts, they would cross picket lines. Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin said the board expects teachers to be prepared for the start of school. “They are to be in classes the first day of school,” she said, noting teachers can re- spect picket lines and submit to a delay before entering a school property.

Holland. “This is really something special, it’s going to be a lot of fun and it’s something that’s going to put Picker- ing on the map.” Councillors Holland and Brenner are planning to unveil drawings and make a presentation at a public meet- ing in September. They are hoping to have council ap- proval for the project by the end of the year so construction can begin and the taxi can hit the water as early as spring 2003. The vaporetto’s season is expected to run from the May long weekend to Labour Day. “Pickering has to have the money to do this,” added Coun. Holland. “It’s re- ally going to bring our waterfront to life. We’ve talked about connecting the east and west spits and this is an excit- ing idea we can’t afford not to do.” PICKERING from page A1 Pickering Running Room Unit 18, 1450 Kingston Rd.

Being Ontario premier now rates among the more hazardous jobs and not just because of the danger of being bored to death by long-winded speechmakers. Half the premiers of recent decades have wound up with seri- ous illnesses that can be related to the high pressures and stresses of their roles. The latest is former Progressive Conservative premier William Davis, who has had open-heart surgery at 73, not old these days. Frank Miller, also a former To ry premier, died a couple of years ago at 73 of a condition brought on by several heart attacks in a long career in politics. Going back a couple of decades, John Robarts, another former premier and Tory, died rel- atively young at 65 shortly after suffering a stroke. Mr. Robarts, a barrel-chested bear of a man who looked the for- mer university football player he once was, became depressed after losing control of his left side and speech and shot himself in his home. Other premiers have fared bet- ter. Liberal David Peterson, after leaving office, had surgery for prostate cancer, which is not di- rectly attributable to the strains of the job. But Mr. Peterson had bounded into the premier’s office at 41 to a chorus of admiration at his being a jogger and onetime university boxer and handsome features, in- cluding his dark-brown hair and appearing to be what one newspa- per called “a lean, mean, sexy ma- chine.” When he left defeated five years later his hair had changed so dramatically papers were more apt to call him the silver fox. Something the same could be said of New Democrat Bob Rae, only 42 when he reached the top job. Observers marvelled how he matured in five years, as one put it, from “a youthful campaigner who seemed to be perpetually brushing a wisp of blond hair from his eyes into a white-haired elder states- man.” Mike Harris, who quit a few months ago after seven years as To ry premier, has avoided major illnesses. He has more of a paunch and grey hairs he darkens, but so do many men of 57. Premiers hurt their health by long workdays, often starting with breakfast meetings before 8 a.m. and making speeches into the night. They spend a lot of time travelling and snatching quick bites of food, but the real pressure is dealing with crises every day and making big decisions that af- fect the lives of many. In the end they have to take per- sonal responsibility for what their governments do and their parties rise or fall on their actions. They also have to look cheerful or at least composed, because news media watch their every move. Some have been under worse pressures than others. Mr. Rae be- came the first NDP premier after decades in which his party made endless promises and ran into a re- cession and had no hope of fulfill- ing them or being re-elected. Premiers push themselves when ill. Mr. Robarts, while still premier and proud of his robust physique, refused to go to hospital in an ambulance that was called and left in his car with it following anxiously. He was found with a se- vere case of hiatus hernia that kept him there a week. Mr. Davis, after he retired as premier, said his job as director of some of the biggest companies on even its most interesting and excit- ing days paled beside the most routine days running a govern- ment. Mr. Peterson, who might look back more bitterly on his days as premier after being turfed out, said the job involves trying to solve 40 different intractable problems a day and “whoever you are, it grinds you down.” After premiers retire, their por- traits are painted and hung in the legislature and usually show pre- maturely aged men with a lot of wrinkles and grey hair. Mr. Peterson, proud of his once good looks, suggested premiers should be painted when they start their terms, so future generations can see them as they once were. Being premier has its upsides, including often leading to lucrative careers in the private sector, but it has not helped any become an ad- vertisement for physical fitness.

Those who make up the Waterfront Regeneration Trust have a picture of a trail on or near Lake Ontario stretching 650 kilometres all the way from picturesque Niagara-on- the-Lake to scenic Gananoque. Total cost to make this dream come true is about $26 to $27 million with SuperBuild funding expected to chip in about $9 million. Organizers of the Trust were originally hoping the Province would commit $13.5 million, but it appears now SuperBuild will only commit to about 30 per cent with local municipalities and regions chipping in the rest. Certainly, work done on the waterfront trail is worth it. Long ignored as a wonderful natural resource in many parts of the province, the Lake Ontario shore area is a beautiful, natural zone that should be celebrated by all our communities. In Northumberland, Port Hope and Cobourg have made serious efforts to make the most of their trails. Port Hope has pretty gazebos while Cobourg’s “sophisticated marina and California-like beach is very vibrant,” says waterfront project manager Marlaine Koehler. Much work is ongoing in Clarington including a boat launch in Bowmanville, a trail to the Bowmanville Valley system and a lookout point at the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area. Whitby’s Rowe House and Thickson Woods were viewed by members of the Trust as highlights along the trail in that municipality while Lakeview Park and Second Marsh were considered scenic points in Oshawa. Ajax’s Rotary Park drew kudos from Trust members while Pickering’s 10 kilometres of paved trail include a stretch about five kilometres long between Liverpool Road and Ajax. While all of the municipalities have their highlights, the key is to join them together so the Province and par- ticipating municipalities can market a continuous trail around the lake. Think of the opportunity to use the trail as a tourist attraction to intrigue travellers from around the world. Each municipality would stand to benefit by the linkage. In addition, a thorough system provides excellent opportunities for day-trippers to inline-skate, hike or bike in a beautiful natural setting unencumbered by car or truck traffic. While the cost to establish the trail is not insignificant, the benefits long-term are priceless. Municipalities and the Province should go ahead and commit the dollars needed for this natural wonder. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 14, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Wife deserves chance despite absence of high school diploma To the editor: Can someone explain to me the magical power associated with a Grade 12 diploma? Does a person who does not possess one have no valuable knowledge? Is that per- son illiterate, automatically physi- cally challenged or totally inca- pable of being trained to do a re- sponsible job or trade? It seems more and more, em- ployers are insisting prospective new employees must possess this magical document, a document that does not, however, indicate the measure of a person’s integrity, dedication, human experience or learning capability. As my wife’s early life situa- tions dictated, she did not com- plete her high school education. However, during some of the years of raising three intelligent and ath- letically outstanding children, she had a number of jobs (especially in factory situations) and was al- ways regarded as a great worker — a lead hand and the one who was often asked to do the more re- sponsible jobs in the workplace. With the kids in university now she wishes to return to the perma- nence of the workforce but finds it frustrating because of the missing diploma. Unfortunately, we do not have friends or relatives whose in- fluence over personnel selection could be applied, as in some com- panies. Throughout my years in the workforce I have seen many em- ployees who display a lack of ap- preciation and dedication towards their employers and I must admit my disappointment for those other people who would be definite as- sets for companies if they were given an opportunity. S.J. Gordon Oshawa Pickering wa terfront maintenance in ‘disgusting’ state To the editor: The waterfront certainly en- hanced Pickering’s status as a city, but the awful state of the area is now disgusting in terms of simple maintenance. There are pollen-laden weeds more than three-feet high along both sides of the walkway and elsewhere as several children play in the area. The sand area is strewn with rocks and debris and is never raked or cleaned. Surely this lack of concern by politicians is insulting to Picker- ing taxpayers considering the amount of hard-to-find dollars we have invested there.

The TAPP-C Program (The Arson Prevention Program for Children) Most child fire-setters are motivated by curiosity and their fascination with fire; and for others, fire play or fire setting can be a symptom of other problems and can lead to tragic consequences. Children can start fire setting at any age and it is often a progressive behaviour. This means that fire play can quickly progress into fire setting. The Arson Prevention Program for Children helps families deal with children who may be involved in fire play or fire setting. The aim of TAPP-C is to promote fire safety among children and youths. Warning Signs • Your child likes to play with matches and lighters and uses them like toys. • You have concerns about your child’s behaviour and their fascination with fire. • You have found burned items/toys in or around your house and garage, or on your child’s body. • Fire materials, such as lighters or gasoline, are easily accessible or go missing. • You have caught your child playing with fire or fire materials. Contact the Pickering Fire Services at 905- 420-4628, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca or visit cityofpickering.com under emergency services for more information about the TAPP-C Program There is always something new on our website.

The staff of the Frenchman’s Bay Project, are looking for volunteers to help monitor purple loosestrife and its predator, the Galerucella beetle. In the spring of 2000, Galerucella beetles were released into Frenchman’s Bay in an effort to control the spread of purple loosestrife, an aggressive plant invader of wetlands. With their fierce appetites for purple loosestrife, Galerucella beetles are slowly decreasing the number of loosestrife plants in and around the Frenchman’s Bay area. So just how many beetles are there? With your help, we can determine how many beetles there are and where they like to spend their time . This monitoring program will provide participants with an opportunity to take part in an on-going study. When: Thursday August 22nd, 2002 Where: Alex Robertson Park, meeting in the parking lot Time: 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm Our purple loosestrife monitoring session requires no training and is a fun activity for the whole family. Please call to register. For more information, please contact the Frenchman’s Bay Watershed Rehabilitation Project office at 9050-420-4660 ext. 2212. Hope we can count you in!

Citizens of Summer The sun has been shining brightly for Ajax and Pickering residents this sum- mer, and so has the 1969 Chevrolet Malibu owned by Courtice resident Steve Stefanek (left), who turned out with other vintage cars at the Big M restaurant in Pickering. When it gets too hot on land, some residents prefer their leisure time being spent on the water. Below, Ajax residents Gunter Klett and son Alexander feel the need for speed at Whitby’s Heydenshore Ki- wanis Park. There’s nothing like a windswept ride on the waters of Lake Ontario to cool the most overheated soul.

Volunteers needed for winter duties DURHAM ––Help promote fun and safety on the slopes this winter. The Canadian Ski Patrol System is looking for new patrollers, and is hold- ing an information and registration night Sept. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m., at An- nandale Golf and Curling Club, Church Street South, Ajax. A volunteer organization for down- hill skiers, snowboarders, or cross- country skiers, the Ski Patrol promotes safe skiing and emergency first aid skills among its members. Training in- cludes accident site management, im- mediate first aid, extrication, and prompt patient evacuation. All pa- trollers undergo training courses in the classroom, and perform simulated ac- cident situations. Members of the Canadian Ski Pa- trol provided first aid services at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics for all Nordic and alpine events, as well as bobsleigh, luge, and speed skating. Pa- trollers also provided services for the 1999 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg. Lo- cally, the Ski Patrol offers assistance to the annual Clarington Speed Skating Competition, and various summer events. Members of the patrol were also an integral part of the medical team at the 2000 Ontario Summer Games in the Region of Durham. There are currently more than 6,000 volunteers across Canada, organized into nine geographical divisions, and 65 zones. This year, Kawartha Zone president Cindy Cameron says, “there will be focus on teamwork, communication, succession planning, public relations, and especially recruitment.” For more information about the Canadian Ski Patrol, contact Terry Sutton, 905-472-1328, or visit www.zvaios.com/skipatrol on the Web.

Quarterly ‘report card’ released by nuclear operator PICKERING —Ontario Power Generation has moved to a quarterly report card system and for the second segment of the year, the Pickering nu- clear station passed with flying colours. All eight performance indicators set by OPG at the station were either met or bettered in the second quarter, which runs from April to June. The corporation releases a ‘report card’ in an attempt to make itself ac- countable to the public. Unless other- wise noted, all performance results are for the ‘B’ side. Second quarter results were as fol- lows: • In an index reflecting 10 industry standard performance measures set by the World Association of Nuclear Op- erators (for the second quarter of 2002) — 69.4 per cent, better than OPG’s tar- get of 66.8 per cent, but well short of the industry benchmark of 96 per cent; • Public safety levels 1 and 2 events reportable to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission — no events and none this year. That’s better than the year-to-date target of three. A Level 1 event is defined as highly significant and a Level 2 is significant; • ‘Reactor trips’ or the number of unplanned automatic reactor shut- downs per 7,000 hours — zero, better than the OPG target and the industry standard of one; • Capability factor or the amount of energy capable of being produced per month as a percentage of perfect per- formance — 85.4 per cent, better than the OPG goal of 84.4 per cent, but below the industry median of 91.3 per cent; • Radiation dose to the public from both the ‘A’and ‘B’stations — 3.3 mi- crosieverts, an international unit of dose, bettering the second quarter tar- get of five and regulatory limit of 1,000; • Major and moderate preventable spills — zero, meeting the OPG goal of zero; • Industrial safety accident rate, the number of accidents per 200,000 work hours that result in lost work time, re- stricted-work injuries or fatalities, for Pickering ‘A’and ‘B’— better than the OPG target of 0.25 and below the in- dustry median of 0.1; and • Accident severity rate or the num- ber of days lost for injuries per 200,000 hours worked: Pickering ‘A’ — 0.39 days and ‘B’ 0.49 days, better than the OPG goal of 2.8 days. OPG states performance listed worse than target is not an indication the reactors are unsafe.

Unit 9A Pickering (905) 831-6870 Consultations available for LASIK/PRK corrective surgery Police officer acquitted of sex assault on daughters BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––A veteran Toronto Police constable ac- cused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his daughters has been found not guilty of all charges. “You are dismissed and free to go,”Mr. Justice John Sheppard told the 49-year-old Durham Region man after handing down the verdict Fri- day. Supporters in the Superior Court of Justice gasped as the judge exonerated the officer. Smiling, he shook hands with his lawyers, kissed his girl- friend and hugged friends in the courtroom. The defendant, who had been out on bail, was charged by Durham Regional Police in March 2000 with two counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual ex- ploitation. Prosecutors Greg O’- Driscoll and Dawn Way al- leged he abused his eldest daughter from the time she was four or five until she was about 17, and his younger daughter between the ages of 13 and 15. In a written decision, Judge Sheppard said parts of the daughters’testimony caused him concern about the relia- bility of their evidence. Given credibility was the core issue, he was left with a reasonable doubt. The man’s name cannot be revealed due to a publication ban protecting the identities of his daughters. The eldest, now 20, testi- fied her father had sexually assaulted her three or four times a week in the family home. She told court she kept the alleged abuse secret for more than a decade. “I was scared... I didn’t think anybody would believe me... because my dad was a police officer,”she testified. Court heard she disclosed the alleged abuse to a family counsellor after her parents separated. Her younger sister then told police she also was as- saulted by her father during the subsequent investigation. During the judge-alone trial the father dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous... revolting... disgusting lies.” The defence argued the daughters were manipulated into making false allegations by their mother as revenge for their father’s marital infideli- ty. Expert defence witness Dr. Richard Gardner, a clinical professor of child psychiatry at Columbia University, testi- fied in his opinion both daughters were victims of ‘Parental Alienation Syn- drome,’a phrase he personally coined. Dr. Gardner explained the disorder theorizes children can be directly or indirectly “programmed”by one parent to turn against another. Defence lawyer Iain Don- nell said his client was re- lieved by the decision. “It was a very difficult case... The shame is that in spite of this verdict it’s torn this family apart,”Mr. Don- nell said. His client, a 25-year veter- an of the force, is currently on stress leave. Mr. Donnell expects a Po- lice Services Act charge against the officer, arising from the prosecution, will be withdrawn in light of the ac- quittal.

VIRGINIA BEACH - I lost 47 pounds with hypnosis. 6 pounds the first week. 15 pounds the first month. My dress size plunged from an embarrassing 16 to an elegant size 10. I’m actually 7 pounds less than my original goal. It was that easy. I feel great. Overweight hurts. I should know. I was heavy at 6 years old. I tried everything. Shakes, prepackaged foods, support groups and stupid diets. With every diet I only lost more self-control. Pain Suffering & Desperation Food was my life. I lived on fast food. I made excuses for buying junk food. I once baked chocolate chip cookies to send to my husband. Only half the batch made it. The rest went to my bulging hips and thighs. I used to avoid outings to the beach. I resented the other wives in their skimpy bikinis. I wouldn’t even take off my shorts. I hid from cameras. Picture this. We’re at the playground. My daughter crawls into a tube. I can’t fit. My husband has to go after her. That was when I knew I was out of control...way out of control! I heard about Positive Changes Hypnosis on the radio. My husband was skeptical. I was desperate. I decided to give it a try. I went to the free screening with hope and an open mind. There was no high-pressure sales talk. My con- sultant explained hypnosis. How the program worked. What kind of results I could expect. I signed up. 100% Control I noticed changes after my very first session. My con- fidence sky-rocketed. I did it without stress. No cravings, NO DIETS, NO DRUGS. I didn’t starve myself, count calo- ries, attend group meetings or weigh food. I learned self- hypnosis. I enjoy 100% control over my eating behavior. I feel proud and attractive. I get lots of compliments. I have a waist now! I even had some boudoir pictures taken. I couldn’t believe it was me posing for the camera. My hus- band loved the photos! It’s great to feel desirable. My body is in better shape now than when I was 18. I’m full of energy. I love being active with my daughter. We can run, play and roll around on the floor. I’m a better role model for her. Hypnosis has improved every aspect of my life.

Once upon a time car and truck owners had to check-and replace-their fan belts and other automotive accessories on a fairly frequent basis. But technology improve over time and the multiple belts that once helped an engine run were eventually replaced by one wide belt that could power the fan, the water pump and all the other accessories connected to the engine. Naturally, both drivers and mechanics alike loved these new wide belts because they required a lot less work over the short and medium term. But these new belts still had to be changed eventually. Thankfully, car manufacturers made things easier by recommending that they be changed at specific intervals. But replacing these new belts cost more than it did for the old ones. Those who tried to save money by buying cheap, low-quality versions found that they did not last as long and had to be replaced more often, In the end, these car owners ended up spending just as much-if not more-than those who opted for quality parts. What’s more, replacing these new belts was more difficult, particularly when it came to cars with smaller engine compartments. As well, other parts, such as pulleys, often had to be replaced along with these new belts. But in the end, life was better with these new fan belts and those who regularly had them checked by a licensed mechanic (and followed his or her recommendations) were able to prevent other wise potential problems.

BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX –– Badminton is the Rodney Dangerfield of sports — it gets no re- spect. But, don’t tell that to longtime Ajax High School and Harwood Phoenix Ju- nior Badminton Club coach Wayne King, who knows differently. At the highest levels, it’s a physically demand- ing and cerebrally challenging sport. “A lot of people think it’s a backyard sport. It’s not a contact sport, so it has an image that it’s not that tough,” says King, Ajax High School’s head of sci- ence, who has put badminton on the map locally with the Harwood club, a regional training centre for top-flight players in Durham for the past 30 years. “Once you get a kid on the court, they love it. The trouble is to get them there and to have them actually say they like it.” King relates a humorous story of a former student-athlete who ridiculed the sport, saying it didn’t take a good athlete to be a passable badminton player. With that, King threw down the gauntlet, er, shuttlecock, challenging the student to a game — but with a built-in advantage for the student. King would sit in the chair while playing the exhibition match. The game drew a gymnasium full of curious onlookers three years ago. Al- though sitting in a chair, King easily won the match as the student took but two points. “It’s easy to start out and play, but to become good it takes dedication. It’s not always the naturally talented athlete who becomes good at the sport, but the kid who sticks it out. It’s usually the kid who likes a challenge,” explains King. Starting with one player in its first year of badminton in 1972,the Harwood Phoenix Junior Badminton Club has served as the training ground for hun- dreds of players, including many cham- pions, over the past 30 years. The club has produced multiple regional and provincial winners in the high school ranks, not to mention the club members who’ve been equally successful at On- tario Badminton Association-sanctioned events and national championships over the years. Drawing players from the former Harwood Secondary School (now Ex- eter High School) and Ajax High School in the early years, the Harwood club branched out in the late ‘70s to include players from across Durham. One of the first ‘outsiders’ to the Ajax-based club was Todd Duffin of Oshawa’s Donevan Collegiate who joined in 1978, the first year the club became a regional entity. King recalls Duffin being one of the most gifted badminton players to grace the club. “He’s one of the best kids I’ve coached. He could give kids a 14-point lead and come back to beat them 15-14,” says King, adding Duffin was a regular winner at Central Ontario Badminton Association tournaments, fifth in Cana- da in his age group at nationals that year and second at the provincial high school tournament. ‘It’s easy to start out and play, but to become good it takes dedication. It’s not always the naturally talented athlete who becomes good at the sport, but the kid who sticks it out. It’s usually the kid who likes a challenge.’ –– WAYNE KING The Harwood club’s membership has fluctuated over the years. The club en- joyed a membership of about 48 players between 1985 and 1989, mostly brought on by the success of such high-level players as Ross Smith and Heather Van Patter. “They were dominant in the provin- cials and (because of their success), we had kids coming from Toronto. Good kids attract other good kids, but we never advertised our club. It was strictly by word of mouth. We’ve tried to keep it small and low key,” explains King. Each year, the Harwood club puts on its annual ‘Alumni Tournament’ that brings together current and former members of the club. An especially memorable one oc- curred last May, which signalled the Harwood Club had come full circle when former player Dale Lyon and his son Colin Lyon came to the event. Dale Lyon was one of King’s protege’s in the second year of the program, while his son is currently in the club. Of late, the club has levelled off to 22 players. Players attend practices twice a week from September to May and play at a number of OBA events during the season. In early March, the club took eight members to the OBA All-Ontario Badminton Championships at Oshawa’s Durham College with Nathaniel Allard, 16, returning with the under-19 singles title. He was also a finalist in the men’s doubles and mixed doubles competi- tions. Buttressing the club’s membership has been the addition of a badminton course at Ajax High School several years ago. The focus of the course, taught by King, is on playing badminton and keeping fit. “Some of the kids (from the course) have joined the club because of it.” The course has “attracted kids to the sport which doesn’t get much exposure,” says King. For King, the club has been a labour of love. He recalls getting into coaching the sport at the urgings of his former principal at Harwood Secondary School. King has gone on to become the dean of coaches in the sport, not just in Durham, but also in Ontario. He has ex- panded his coaching duties in the last four years as head coach of the Univer- sity of Toronto men’s badminton pro- gram. In the last three years, he’s been named the Ontario University Associa- tion’s (OUA) coach of the year in the sport. Although he’s enjoyed his fair share of success in the coaching ranks, King says the big payback is not in the win- ning, but in the grooming of young peo- ple to become solid citizens as adults. “The winning isn’t at all what you’re in the sport for. At Ajax High School and at Harwood all the kids have gone on to university or a good job. That’s more important than badminton,” he says. While King envisions retiring from teaching in the future, he can’t see the day when he won’t be coaching bad- minton. “At some point I’m going to retire from teaching, but I plan to keep coach- ing for sure.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 14, 2002 PAGE B1 A/P Golf & Country Club 2665 Brock Rd.

AWARD WINNER 2002 NO PHOTOCOPIES OR FACSIMILES ORIGINALS ONLY PICKERING —Six seemed to be the lucky number recently as the Pickering Red Sox minor mosquito baseball team was a hit at the region- al championships. A 9-5 win over the Whitby Chiefs clinched gold for the Red Sox during the Eastern Ontario Baseball Associ- ation playoff weekend Aug. 3 and 4 in Ajax. Whitby took an early 5-2 lead in the final, before Pickering exploded for seven runs in the sixth inning, in- cluding a bases loaded suicide squeeze. It was the third straight game the Red Sox used a sixth in- ning rally of five runs or more to win or put a game out of reach. Pickering opened the weekend Saturday against the host Ajax Spar- tans, winning 12-1. A five-run sixth inning was the capper as the game was called on the mercy rule. Facing Whitby later in the day, the Red Sox found themselves down 7-3 going into the magical sixth. Another five- run rally, with the winning run com- ing off a sacrifice fly, capped the 8-7 victory. Team members are Richard Ab- bott, Scott Anderson, Nicholas Cappa, Brandon Colicchio, John Guenther, Brad Haley, Rob Heard, Ta ylor Kutsakake, Dennis Linth- waite, Chris Marraccini, Travis Rutherford and Ryan Semenuk. Don Linthwaite, Scott Heard and Greg Haley are the coaches. Next up for the mosquitoes is the Ontario Baseball Championships in Oakville over the Labour Day week- end. Six-six-six — Red Sox overcome devilish odds in coming from behind twice for title The Pickering Red Sox minor mosquito baseball team found the sixth in- ning was its saviour at the recent Eastern Ontario Baseball Association playoff weekend. The club scored five runs or more in the sixth inning of all three games to claim the title. PICKERING — The Pickering Pirates major peewee selects baseball team scored a perfect 10 on the way to the Steeltown tournament title. Playing in the Hamilton Steeltown Showdown Baseball Championship, the Pirates knocked off the Missis- sauga Bengals 10-9 in the finals. Eric Watson started on the mound and tossed three shutout innings, while his teammates raced to a 5-0 lead. Kyle Smeelen registered the save with the tying run at third base, aided by a stel- lar effort from Jeff Hannon, who made an amazing catch. Offensively, Mitchell Oke was the star with three hits and three runs bat- ted in. Ryan McMackin also chipped in with three hits. In the semifinals, Pickering beat Whitby 10-1. Eric Wilton, Smeelen and Iain Smook combined on a one- hitter, while Jeff Love, Smeelen, An- drew Adamac and Smook each knocked in two runs. In round robin, the Pirates explod- ed in their first game by thumping East Mountain 9-3. A six-run fourth inning paced the Pirates. Whitby was next and Pickering came out on the short end of an 8-3 score. Other players turning in solid ef- forts during the tournament were Tyler Henderson and Aaron Karamath. Larry Henderson, John Smeelen and Doug Wilton coach the team. Bantams Rock foes in winning f irst Ontario lacrosse title PICKERING —It didn’t take long for the West Durham Minor Lacrosse Association to make a dent on the provincial scene. The bantam Rock team went undefeated in Kitchener re- cently to secure a provincial ‘C’ title for the sec- ond-year organi- zation. Facing Mim- ico 2 in the final, the 13- and 14- year-old boys rolled to a re- sounding 7-2 win. The semifinal brought the sec- ond matchup of the tournament between West Durham and the Caledon Bandits 2, with the local side winning 5- 2. The Rock opened the tour- nament with a 6- 4 win over Oakville 2, fol- lowed that up with a 5-1 win over Halton Hills 2 and then downed the Bandits 6-5.

Pirates tame Bengals for title AJAX — Benjamin Nasmith has been flying high all summer. The 17-year-old Ajax resident is one of 69 Air Cadets from across On- tario to receive a flying scholarship, a partnership between the Canadian Forces and the Air Cadet League of Canada. Benjamin has used his time to get his pilot’s licence. Benjamin has spent the summer at the National Flyers Academy in Breslau, near Waterloo. For five years, he’s been a member of Picker- ing’s No. 856 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron and has risen to the rank of warrant officer first class. For the seven weeks he’s at Bres- lau, Benjamin spends hours studying to be a pilot, as well as getting in 45 to 50 hours of flying time. The course is difficult, because of the short time the cadets are there, he said. “It’s what most people do in a year on weekends. Here, it’s concen- trated. We fly every day,” Benjamin added. To get his licence, among the things he had to do was use land- marks to fly a Cessna from one air- port to another. There are also emer- gency procedures, such as what do to if the plane stalls and how to get out of a spin. “You need to know how to get out of one to survive,” he said. Benjamin would like to become an astronaut, but admitted he’ll need “a few university degrees and more flying time. I have to basically build up my resume. It’s a pretty competi- tive job.” He’s been flying a Cessna 152 single engine light aircraft. The plane travels at between 80 to 90 knots and cruises between 2,000 and 6,000 feet. He noted he had gone as high as 11,000 feet. Entering his OAC year at Picker- ing High School in September, Ben- jamin wouldn’t be the first person to receive a flying scholarship and then became an astronaut. Canadian as- tronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield is a graduate of the program. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 14, 2002 PAGE B3 A/P SALE PRICES END SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 2002 Ends Saturday!

Playing the Oshawa Hawkeyes Aug. 2, the tykes rolled to a 19-0 win. Quarterback David Wilson had first-half touchdown passes to Tyler Grayer and Nicholas Beurling, be- fore Grayer added another major, with a convert from Wilson. The defence, led by Andrew Goary, Richard Quittenton, Rob Sinclair, Michael Roache and Nicholas DeFreita, was dominant. Grayer was a factor on both sides of the ball and was a game star. Led by running back Jermayne Gooderidge’s two first-half touch- downs, the Dolphins atoms scored a 14-13 victory over the Hawkeyes. Centre Taylor Rice, guard Matt Blum and tackle Alexander Ko were great in creating big holes. Ko converted the scores, with help from holder Adam Konkle and long snapper Brandon Wood. The Hawkeyes made it close with two majors in the second half, but only converted one. The defence received big plays from Brett Jamieson, Kyle Savoie and Curtis Barrett. A late goal-line stand with less than a minute to go sealed the victory. The peewees capped the day with a 32-0 win. Kyle Exume returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown to launch the rout. Quarterback David Priestman had two touch- down passes, one to tight end An- drew Smith and one to wide receiv- er Scott MacDonald. Fullback Craig Smith added an- other major and the defence was dominant. Other scoring information was not provided.

Please recycle this paper PICKERING —The Pickering Panthers ‘B’under-11 girls’rep soccer team is atop the standings following two recent wins. Facing North Scarborough, the Panthers used a well-balanced attack on the way to a 4-0 win. Tiffany Allen opened the scoring after eluding sever- al defenders and finding the top right corner of the net. Karin Toomsalu added to the total when she carried the ball into the box and placed a kick over the head of the keeper. Natalie Guest scored a nifty goal by threading a cross along the goal line from the right side. Kathryn Rum- boldt set up the final goal of the game on a pass to Gillian Clayton, who one- timed a shot from the box. Facing Newmarket, the Panthers came out with a 3-2 win. Pickering had numerous scoring chances before Clayton finally found the back of the net. Kayla Schroeder added the other two goals, for a 3-0 lead, on blistering shots from well outside the box. New- market made the game interesting by getting within a goal, but Pickering’s good positional play secured the win. Beth Anne Davies, playing with a cast on her arm, offered inspiration. Lindsay Taylor, defensively, and Lau- ren Giles, offensively, also turned in strong efforts. Pickering’s record is 6-1, good enough for first in the Central Region.

Your hometown newspaper “not exactly as illustrated” A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 14, 2002 She’s solid as a rock Roberta Burry’s pet projects give her most joy BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer PICKERING —Much of Roberta Burry’s art is waterproof. So when rain fell on the Art in the Park outdoor festival in Uxbridge last year, she continued exhibiting and sell- ing her acrylic paintings on stone as other vendors scrambled. “Everybody else was packing up their stuff because it was pouring rain, but I was fine,” she recalled. For the third year, the 25-year Picker- ing resident will be showing and selling her work at this year’s Art in the Park in Uxbridge, Aug. 17 and 18. The event, now in its sixth year, features over 100 artists, who work in various media, dis- playing and selling their work under the tree canopy in Elgin Park. Ms. Burry said she is basically a self- taught artist and has painted all her life. She most enjoys painting animals realis- tically, including pet portraits from pho- tographs, using stone as a canvas. “I like painting on stone, mostly smooth stones,” she said. “If somebody has a stone they’ve been hanging onto for years, I’ll paint whatever they want on the stone. I’m adaptable.” She also paints portraits on pieces of shale for necklaces. Ms. Burry has shown her work at a few local art festivals and said the Uxbridge event is “wonderful” and def- initely a favourite of hers. She noted the organizers take good care of the artists, like making periodic visits to see if any- body needs water or help. “It’s fun and they run it well,” she said. The event also gives her an opportu- nity to see what her peers are up to — when she can get away from her own booth. “You see such good stuff,” said Ms. Burry. “They have such a wide variety of stuff up there and you usually end up spending more than you make.” An asthma sufferer, she hasn’t been able to get out a lot this summer because it’s been so hot and the air quality hasn’t been the best. When the weather co-op- erates, she enjoys walking the Water- front Trail for fun and to scout out sub- ject matter. “I do all kinds of things. If it will stand still long enough, I will paint it or paint on it,” she said. “I like to use acrylic because I’m always in a hurry.” There’s one exception: Ms. Burry doesn’t paint people, acknowledging human subjects aren’t her strength. Be- sides, she finds animals more fun and in- teresting. Art in the Park is sponsored by the Uxbridge and District Lions Club and features food vendors, roving musicians, and a hands-on mural project youngsters will have an opportunity to work on, under the supervision of Uxbridge artist Gloria Hope. The park is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Admission is $5 for adults with the under-16 crowd admitted free. To learn more about Art in the Park, visit www.uxbridge.com/lionsart, or contact Bob Armitage at 905-852-4648, or e-mail to lionsart@uxbridge.com.

The Second Marsh Wildlife Area can be found in southeast Oshawa immediately east of Darlington Provincial Park on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The marsh is the largest remaining wetland in the Greater Toronto Area. As early as 1750, a French trading post was established just west of the Marsh but was aban- doned around 1759. The first settlers arrived in 1790 and clearing of the land for housing and agriculture began planting the seeds for what is now Oshawa. But even that development took its toll on the marsh and by the mid 1800's forest clearing resulted down- stream sedimentation of the wetland with eroded materials. The construction of Hwy. 401, the Canadian National Railway, dredg- ing of nearby Oshawa Harbour; and neighbouring Harmony Creek Water Treatment Plant all threatened the marsh in ensuing years. Over the past 50 years more than two-thirds of the Great Lakes wetlands and 80 per cent of Ontario wetlands, have been lost to urban and rural development, drainage and pollution. Such could have been the case with the Second Marsh were it not for the intervention of con- cerned citizens who eventually formed a conservatory group now called Friends of the Second Marsh. The Second Marsh is now a protected area and highly accessible to the public, both for recreational and educational purposes.●Livinga n d Dying in t h e S e c o ndMarsh●Patient visitors to the Second Marsh will be rewarded with sights like the blue heron (above) flying over a nesting area as it avoids some harassing terns and gulls. To visit the Second Marsh Wildlife Area, exit Hwy. 401 at the Harmony Road cutoff. Go south on Farewell Street to Colonel Sam Drive. Turn left (east) and travel 0.5 km to the entrance to the Second Marsh Wildlife Area. Limited on-street parking is allowed here. Photos by A.J.
