BY LINDA WHITE Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —History comes to life at Pickering Mu- seum Village, where you’ll find out about the rebel whose name went down in Canadian history books as one of only two men hanged in public for treason during the Rebellion of 1837. “Pickering was a hotbed of rebelliousness in the 1830s,” notes Katrina Pyke, volunteer and program co-ordinator at the museum. She is also the creator of A Spirit Walk, a dra- matic interpretation of Picker- ing’s link to the Rebellion. A Spirit Walk has become a popular annual event that has expanded from two perfor- mances each fall to four. The story is told through the eyes of Hannah Matthews, the widow of Peter Matthews, a rebel who was tried for high treason for his role in the rebellion and ex- ecuted as a deterrent to others who might follow in his foot- steps. The widow guides groups of about 15 through the Muse- um Village, which is located on the banks of Duffins Creek in historic Greenwood and is home to 14 restored buildings, including a blacksmith shop, general store, church and barns. Audiences learn about the seeds of discontent at the turn of the 1800s and hear men talk of the need for peaceful change. They meet both a Unit- ed Empire Loyalist family and another in support of the polit- ical system. They also meet men who planned to join an uprising in Lower Canada under reform leader William Lyon Mackenzie and learn of their personal struggles with their decision. Finally, audiences learn how the uprising went terribly wrong and watch as men are arrested and dragged from their homes by the militia on Christ- mas Day. “It’s a way of transporting people back in time,” Ms. Pyke says of the performances, which take place in the evening by candlelight. “It helps audi- ences make a better connection with our early settlers, as they understand their trials and tribulations. When you read about them in the history books, their stories don’t al- ways jump off the page.” It’s an important celebration of the legacy of those early set- tlers. “We have somebody right here in Brougham (in north Pickering) who was hanged for his beliefs,” says Mary De- AT A GLANCE Barclay reunion history lesson in the making PICKERING — The progeny of the Reverend George and Janet Tullis Barclay are invited to attend a gathering of the clan at the Pickering Museum Village, Hwy. 7 in the hamlet of Green- wood, on Saturday, Sept. 14 from noon to 4 p.m. The Barclays played signifi- cant roles in the Rebellion of 1837 after immigrating to Pickering Township from Fifeshire, Scotland in October 1816. Family names include Bentley, Sheppard, Miller- Hamilton, Barrie, Knowles, Burton and Trout. Barclay family historian, Kath- leen Barclay Bowley, will be at the event and invites all family mem- bers — and other Ajax and Pick- ering residents — to attend, renew acquaintances and update the family history and stories.

See MUSEUM page A5 BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING — A moun- tain of fill in Kinsale produced a hue and cry from residents, who now feel vindicated after a gov- ernment agency has found con- taminants there. “I told you it was contami- nated,” said Kinsale resident Nancy Listro who, along with several other homeowners in the area, maintained the fill being dumped daily at the now 75-foot high dumpsite at 3160 Hwy. 7 (at Balsam Road) was far from clean. “We were hoping we were wrong, but at least now maybe the Ministry (of the Environ- ment) will stop the dumping.” James Sabiston, the proper- ty’s owner, said the problem, however, was a one-time situa- tion and was cleaned up imme- diately. A letter from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) received by the City of Pickering in early August and subsequently obtained by the News Advertiser, confirms the MOE York Durham district of- fice received preliminary results from samples taken May 15 from a truckload of soil deposit- ed at the property. The results indicated con- centrations of diesel/fuel oil in excess of ministry guidelines and, although the waste was re- moved, a Provincial Officers BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — When Ernie Eves talks, people listen. So, when the premier hinted last week there would be changes to the provincial funding formula in the near future, Catholic school board officials took note and worked to end a two-week old strike. The promise of more money provided “the breakthrough” needed to end the strike between Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees Local 218 members and the Durham Catholic District School Board, said board chair- man Mary Ann Martin. The sides reached an agree- ment Sunday, ratified by both parties Monday night, a week before the start of school. Roughly 170 workers will re- ceive benefit improvements and a 4.5-per cent wage increase over two years, retroactive to September 2001. Trustee Martin said she was “delighted”the strike is over and “hopeful” Mr. Eves will come through with more money for school boards in a matter of months — making future nego- tiations easier. “We were asked to be pa- tient,to wait and see what would happen in the fall, in the next couple of months, and that’s what we’re doing,” she said in an interview. Trustee Martin said the board moved to end the impasse with its workers, calling the union bargaining team Friday to set up Sunday’s meeting. On the key issue of custodi- ans’workload, the board agreed not to increase the square- footage area a custodian is re- sponsible for maintaining — leaving it for the next round of negotiations in 2003. Don Bryans, CUPE Local 218 president, said the union re- fuses to budge on increasing the square footage. With the end of the agreement just a year away, Board, custodians strike deal MARY ANN MARTIN ‘We were asked to be patient, to wait and see what would happen in the fall’. Contract calls for 4.5-per cent raise, no change to workload See UNION page A5 See MINISTRY page A2 Cry mounts after positive test Ministry finds oil on property in excess of guidelines Order was issued to the site owner. The order requires Mr. Sabiston to retain the services of a qualified engineer or environmental consultant to assess the quality of the site and ensure there is no impact to groundwater and soil. This must be done by Sept. 25. While Mr. Sabiston said he will comply with the order and have envi- ronmental tests done, he’s confident they would show no more contami- nants. “They found one truck and they took that away to their satisfaction,” he said in an interview Tuesday. “All we do is take dirt, concrete, bricks, clean fill, period.” Dumping continued at the property Monday. Residents in the area, who refer to the site as ‘Mount Kinsale’, have com- plained for years that the site was pol- luting their wells, dirtying their streets and homes, and ruining their quality of life. Their complaints culminated in a public protest at the site in April. Previous MOE tests, however, had not turned up problems. “We made a visit to the site prior to the (OPSEU) strike (in March and April) and found nothing, but we had promised to do another visit after the labour dispute,” said MOE spokesman John Steele. “We did so and on a walk- about an officer found some contami- nates that exceeded ministry guidelines and a provincial order has been issued to the property owner.” Kees Van Der Vecht, a Kinsale Road resident and now president of the newly formed Kinsale and Area Resi- dents Association (KARA), said he’s “kind of happy” with the findings. “It’s miniscule, one guy in a truck out of tens of thousands that have gone in there over the past four years, but fi- nally they have some proof; they never listened to us,” he said. “At least some- thing has moved. They have evidence of the garbage that’s going there and they’re going to act on it... already we’re seeing less tanker trucks go in there.” The City also laid charges against Mr. Sabiston in late April for operating a business in contravention of Picker- ing’s agricultural zoning for the site. At a July 22 court date, the hearing on the charges was held over to Oct. 28. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said he sympathizes with Kin- sale residents, but there’s not much the City can do. “The residents up there have been living through hell with all the trucks and the dirt,” he said. “We can’t shut them down... the MOE is the proper authority; we don’t have the expertise and only the MOE can do the proper tests.” Meanwhile, councillors have passed a motion calling on City staff to develop a fill bylaw regulating these types of operations. As the Kinsale dump was in opera- tion before the City began this process, Coun. Johnson said it would be “grandfathered” and therefore allowed to continue accepting fill even after the bylaw is passed. Mr. Sabiston said the dumping would continue until he is forced to stop and the expenditures of going to court and having an environmental as- sessment done are simply the costs of doing business. “It’s the nature of the business, that’s all,” he said.

MINISTRY from page 1 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —An Educa- tion-Ministry facilitator is on his way to Durham’s public school board to help trustees better understand their role. Durham District School Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said at Monday night’s board meeting she would meet with trustees privately before the start of the Oct. 7 standing committee meeting. She would like to see the fa- cilitator help trustees in other areas as well, such as working with their communities to bet- ter gauge what they want and bringing their views to the board. But, for now, the first and possibly only topic is the role of the trustee. Mike Riley, director of the ministry’s field services branch, and Mearl Obee, manager of the ministry’s Barrie district of- fice, were to meet with trustees, said senior ministry spokesman Bruce Skeaff Tuesday. Trustees met Monday night for the first time in two months. “There was no opposition when we had our (private) meeting,” Trustee Roy said in an interview. “I was right up front; I stated what was taking place and nobody opposed it.” She cited “the way the meet- ings have been going” as the reason a facilitator was called upon. Some trustees com- plained the board wasn’t deal- ing with important issues as it is always bogged down in dis- putes over lesser matters. Three months ago, Trustee Roy re- minded trustees that, unlike staff, they have no role in the day-to-day operation of schools and are not micromanagers. She said she and education director Grant Yeo approached the ministry after Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker suggested ministry help at a June meeting between the board and local MPPs. Trustee Roy said, however, she was al- ready thinking of making a call. Roughly a year ago, in fact, after Trustee Roy censured six trustees who held a meeting she ruled inappropriate, she sug- gested it was time for the min- istry to come in and deal with some of the trustees. In an interview at the time she was education minister, Ms. Ecker said she had heard com- plaints from residents about trustees’ bickering and added the ministry was willing to help mediate the conflict. “We should probably have done something at that point, too, but I don’t know what kind of agreement we could have gotten,” said Trustee Roy. Trustees did not vote to bring in a facilitator, but she noted they didn’t object to the idea either when she notified board members via e-mail in the summer. Trustee Roy said she received no replies. She noted trustees have the option to not meet with the fa- cilitator, as it is not mandatory. The news received mixed re- views from school community council chairmen. Donna Edwards, SCC chair- man at Lakeside Public School in Ajax, said the trustees “defi- nitely need some help”. She attended several meet- ings as part of the board’s ac- commodation plan process and was not impressed with what she heard. “From the last couple of meetings I attended, they do not come off as being very profes- sional and it’s frustrating for the public,” said Ms. Edwards. She noted trustees aren’t paid well for what they do, adding they need to run the board like a business. Ms. Edwards said Trustee Roy “is doing the right thing”.

How a Mother’s Gift Helped This Woman Shed 149 Lbs! “When I see an overweight person on the street, my heart aches for them. I want to say, ‘If only you could be where I am now.” Ellen Bragg after shedding a staggering 149 Lbs.! “I was suffering with no end in sight.” Ellen Bragg before 149 Lb. weight loss. My name is Ellen Bragg. I am a customer service representative. I have been married to my husband, Gerry, for 34 years. We have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. Thanks to a unique gift from my mother, I melted off a staggering 149 lbs. effortlessly! My dress size plunged from an obese 26 to a lean 10. The following is my account of true and lasting weight loss success. By: Ellen Bragg I was overweight most of my life. At age 12, I gained weight virtually overnight. When I was 13, the doctor had to put me on a diet because I was nearly 200 pounds! He and my mother tried to keep me on the diet but I lost only 5 pounds. By the age 18, I was heavy, uncomfortable and utterly miserable! My eating was out of control. I never ate breakfast and rarely ate lunch. At night, the boredom set it. I’d eat non-stop. Chips... sweets... whatever I could get my hands on. I reached the point where my tremendous weight was seriously affecting my health. Severe arthritis made it difficult to get around. I had high blood pressure and felt tired all the time. To put it mildly, I was unhappy, unhealthy and downright fed-up. It was not just the physical pain. I was embarrassed and self-conscious. I obsessed about what other people thought of me. I was suffering with no end in sight. Dieting Madness I tried losing weight with most of the national diet chains. I’d try any diet. I went on a cabbage diet, a watermelon diet, and a soup and Melba toast diet. Sometimes I’d lose weight, but the pounds were always right back plus more. I felt out of control. It was like a madness. I’d be eating and eating, knowing I shouldn’t be doing it, but also knowing that I couldn’t stop it. One day I read about Positive Changes Hypnosis in the newspaper. The story featured about a dozen people who had received amazing results after being hypnotized. I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. I picked up the telephone and scheduled my free hypnosis screening. My Best Gift Ever... I was immediately impressed with the professionalism at Positive Changes Hypnosis. My free hypnosis screening was a rare treat. The entire staff made me feel at home. There were no hard sales tactics. My consultant explained the program and what I could expect. I was impressed but uncertain. Finally, my skepticism won out. I went home. That night I couldn’t stop talking about my hypnotic screening. I told my mother how I had witnessed hundreds of testimonials... on video and in writing. ‘I honestly think hypnosis can help me,’ I’d said. She smiled and told me that if I really wanted to lose weight, she would make Positive Changes Hypnosis my birthday present... it was my best gift ever! Bless The Day... I bless the day I started at Positive Changes Hypnosis. I opened my eyes after my first session and knew hypnosis was my answer. On my way home that evening, I made a quick stop at the corner grocery. I walked right past the chips and made a beeline for the fruit. My cart was full of fruit and bottled water. My skepticism vanished! Since then my attitude toward food has changed completely. I crave fresh fruits and vegetables. I only want to drink water and juices. My desire for soft drinks has vanished. In three short weeks, I had lost 23 lbs. My energy level skyrocketed. Three months into the program, I had lost 50 lbs. For the first time in my life, I was actually enjoying long walks and exercise. After seven short months, I had lost 100 lbs. and dropped 5 dress sizes! It was a milestone I never dreamed I’d reach. If I Can Lose Weight, So Can You! If you want to take control of your weight problem, begin hypnosis with Positive Changes right away. If I can do it, so can you. I set a goal of shedding 140 lbs. I’ve exceeded that goal. Best of all, I know that I will keep my weight off forever. What fun I will have this summer with my eight grandchildren doing what I thought I would never do again... swimming, picnics, long walks. © Positive Changes Hypnosis™ DU RHAM'S FINEST AUTOMOTIVE DETAILING FOR OVER A DECADE • CAR ALARMS • REMOTE STARTERS $199 • SCOTCHGUARD • WAX • COMPOUND • POLISH • CUSTOM UPHOLSTERYLEATHER • BOAT TOPS • TONNEAUS • SPOILERSSHIFT KNOBS $65 • WOOD DASH KITS •BROKEN WINDSHIELD? $300.00 Deductible AUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY We Pay Up To 1010 Brock Road South (Northwest corner at Bayly)831-4290 SPEEDY GLASS NETWORK Summer Specials • Custom Upholstery • Boat Tops • Auto Detailing • Window Tinting Help support needy students in our community Drop off your school supply donation at one of our school buses located throughout the mall On now thru September 8th Brittany from Ajax Aaron from Scarborough Blazing Hot Moves Fun and exciting NRG Breakers will amaze you with their acrobatic dance moves.

PICKERING —It’s been a profitable 2002 for Les Freeman. “This is definitely my year and it’s not over yet. I won $25,000 in January on Daily Keno and now this,” exclaimed the Pickering resident after win- ning second prize in the Aug. 16 Lotto 6/49 drawing. He walked away with $60,313.10. The shipper with the Bay in the Pickering Town Centre said his plans for the windfall are to buy a new car, take a trip to Mexico, help his son with ed- ucation expenses and pay a few bills. The winning ticket was pur- chased at Kingston Convenience Plus in Pickering. DURHAM —Durham Region employers have positive staffing plans this fall. “As we approach the final months of the year, 33 per cent of business respon- dents will expand their workforces this fall, while 12 per cent report plans to cut back,” said Kim Murray of Manpower Inc., respond- ing to the organization’s lat- est hiring survey, which covers the October to De- cember period. “Another 53 per cent ex- pect no change and the re- maining two per cent have not determined their needs.” Prospects were not as rosy for the final quarter of 2001 when 33 per cent an- ticipated recruiting more workers, but 20 per cent forecast diminished pay- rolls. Local employers were more upbeat three months ago, as 34 per cent said staff increases were likely, while only seven per cent predict- ed declines. Fall job opportunities are envisioned in non- durable goods manufactur- ing, transportation and pub- lic utilities, wholesale and retail trade, finance, insur- ance and real estate, educa- tion and services. Construc- tion firms plan cutbacks, while durable goods manu- facturers and public admin- istrators voiced mixed in- tentions. For the most part, em- ployers across Canada fore- see a subdued hiring picture for the final months of 2002. According to the sur- vey, 24 per cent intend to add employees, while 14 per cent anticipate cut- backs. Another 60 per cent expect to maintain present payrolls and two per cent have not finalized plans. “The forecast for the year’s final quarter is the softest we’ve seen for this period in five years”, said Steve Walker, Manpower vice-president and general manager for Canada. “While employer optimism is most evident in seasonal- ly active sectors, six of the 10 industries expect hiring potential at levels below those of one year ago.” The fourth quarter is often one of the most re- strictive hiring seasons of the year, Mr. Walker added.

Durham Re- gional Police said an officer witnessed an apparent drug deal in front of a convenience store at West- ney Road and Highway 2 about 11 p.m., and pulled over a Pontiac Fire- bird a short time later. When offi- cers ap- proached the car they ob- served a 22-cal- ibre rifle on the floor of the back seat. The three occupants of the vehicle were arrested without inci- dent and a small amount of marijuana was also seized, police said. A 17-year- old Ajax boy, who was a pas- senger, has been charged with unautho- rized posses- sion of a firearm and careless use of a firearm. Another pas- senger, a 16- year-old Ajax girl, is charged with drug pos- session. The driver of the car, Amir Youssef, 19, of Barrett Cres- cent in Ajax, was charged with having a firearm in a motor vehicle. Loaded rifle found in stopped car, police charge two teens, adult Jobs heading Durham’s way Survey finds businesses in hiring mode Lottery luck keeps smiling for Pickering man laney, an educational instruc- tor at the Museum Village. “We don’t celebrate our rebels like they do in the Unit- ed States,” Ms. Delaney notes. “There’s no school or street named after Peter Matthews... We’re here to save our vanish- ing history.” The performances continue to draw crowds, some eight years after it was first intro- duced. “Many have told us they truly feel like they’re watching history unfold,” says Ms. Pyke, who credits a dedi- cated cast of about 60 under the direction of Larry O’Leary of O’Leary’s School of Drama. (The Backwoods Players theatre group has since been created. In addition to A Spir- it Walk, it puts on an annual Whodunit dinner theatre and other performances through- out the year.) Auditions are held an- nually for each of the roles in A Spirit Walk, in- cluding the role of the widow — played by nine actors, as start times are stag- gered to accommodate num- bers. Rehearsals began in Au- gust. “The script has changed over the years. It has been fine-tuned and perfected as new information becomes available,” she reports, point- ing to ongoing research by Ms. Delaney, Barbara Pleva and Angela Steyn, all educa- tional instructors at the Muse- um Village who have contact- ed descendants of the area’s early settlers. “We are all tremendously proud of it,” admits Ms. Pyke. “We still have people saying they come back every year to see it.” A Spirit Walk will be per- formed the evenings of Sept. 13, 14, 20 and 21. Tickets are $10 per person and must be purchased in advance. It’s not recommended for children aged under 12 years. Call Pickering Museum Village at 905-683-8401 to find out more. Owned and operated by the City of Pickering, the Pickering Museum Village is located on Hwy. 7 between Westney and Brock roads in the hamlet of Greenwood.

He said the union was pleased “that we stood up for the principles we went out on,”in reference to the workload issue. But, Mr. Bryans wasn’t calling it a victory, noting approximately 75 per cent of members ratified the deal, a number he said could have been higher. Those who didn’t approve the agree- ment wanted a bigger raise, he said. “When you have 25 per cent of membership saying it’s not a good enough raise, it’s a bit shallow,”said Mr. Bryans. The pay increase means a custodi- an’s salary will go from $16.70 per hour to $17.45 over the term of the con- tract. A chief custodian will earn $19.85 per hour when the full increase is in place, up from the current $18.99. Mr. Bryans said the reality is that “there hasn’t been big raises in educa- tion for a while,”and almost every dol- lar the government spends on education goes into what they deem “the class- room”, a classification that doesn’t in- clude support staff, which is getting “short shrift”. Still, after a year without a collective agreement, Mr. Bryans said the local was “very, very pleased”to have one. He’s also glad the strike ended before the start of school, adding it was im- portant that students were not impacted by the labour action.

I completely applaud your edi- torial encouraging action from the average person to be more en- vironmentally friendly. If every- one changed one thing, it would make a big difference. First local- ly, then globally. We need our elected officials to pay attention to what is quick- ly becoming a dangerous and ir- reversible dilemma. All our garbage in every form is catching up with us. Everyday in the news, there is at least one report about pollution and its effect on our lives. Walkerton, disappearing wet- lands, closed beaches, smog days, global warming, urban sprawl — the list is long and these are prob- lems we can’t ignore anymore. There is a local initiative by a community group, the Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coalition, under way. Our initiative focuses on urban sprawl and how it will relate to us with the provincial land swap with developers for es- sential Oak Ridges Moraine land. Even with the freeze on develop- ment imposed by Pickering coun- cil, and the growth management study, the community needs to pay attention to what will tran- spire from this deal. We want to preserve a 110- square-kilometre green space legacy by connecting the water- front trail, with Rouge Park, the agricultural preserve in Pickering, the Markham agricultural public lands, and the federal lands — all with the Oak Ridges Moraine. We are committed to connecting green spaces, maintaining our agricultural heritage, reducing urban sprawl — creating a city of the future. Bonnie Littley, Rouge Duffins Greenspace Coalition, Pickering Peace needed in the Middle East To the editor: I am not an Israeli or Palestin- ian. I came to this beautiful country as a young man of 19 and I am a proud Canadian. The ever-present struggles in the Middle East beg for action. Surely the violence and current policies seem not to achieve the results so desperately desired by everyone.

The prime example since Pre- mier Ernie Eves came to power has been their ability to prevent his Progressive Conservative government selling outright the Hydro One electricity transmis- sion network, which shocked it as if it touched a live wire, but there have been others. On Hydro One, the Tories to- tally ignored their opponents, the opposition parties in the legisla- ture, when they argued the Province should not sell the transmission system. But members of two unions went to court and claimed the Tories had no power to sell, be- cause they failed to pass a law giving themselves authority, and the Tories scoffed they were meddling busybodies who had no right even to raise the issue. When the court agreed with the unionists, Premier Eves could still have pushed through a law and sold outright, but the case aroused such concern among the public he dithered be- fore eventually retreating to say he will sell only a minority inter- est. His new Tory regime started off looking bumbling, flip-flop- ping and unsure of itself, not the competent, businesslike group it hoped to appear. It has been deprived of in- come to balance its books, alien- ated some investors, weakened its theme privatizing is good and offended business, which it relies on to finance its electioneering. The case also turned a light on the way the Tories ignored the excessive perks given Hydro One’s senior officials, whose president billed taxpayers for al- most everything but her nail pol- ish, and the Tories will wish the unionists had stuck to their dues collecting. Citizens struck again when four single mothers and welfare recipients went to court to object to the Tories’ noted spouse-in- the-house law introduced to crack down on welfare abuse. This law said single women receiving social assistance are to be treated as part of a family unit from the moment they live in the same home as an income-earning male, and may lose some or all their benefits. It has led to 10,000 women being cut off wel- fare and the Tories to boast they cut welfare rolls. But the court ruled it prompts intrusive personal investigation and undermines the dignity of women merely because they re- ceive social assistance and is dis- crimination forbidden by the Charter of Rights. The court found the law also makes it difficult for women to set up personal relationships and forces them to stay in some that become abusive by pushing them into financial dependence on men. The Province will appeal, but already has acknowledged there is some validity in the challenge by changing its law so a couple can live together for three months before being classed as a spousal unit and be subject to losing benefits. Gays also have gone to court over the heads of politicians and obtained a ruling the federal law defining marriage as a union be- tween a man and woman is dis- criminatory and must be changed to allow same-sex marriages and the Ontario law registering mar- riage must conform. Premier Eves, who is trying to appear open-minded and innova- tive, said he has no objection, but Tory MPPs who have fought gay rights through their political lives feel they are powerless. In yet another case, former welfare recipients cut off bene- fits for life for defrauding the system have launched a court challenge arguing this is cruel and unusual punishment and vio- lates the Bill of Rights. They mostly failed to declare small income from sources such as workers’ compensation and point out others who commit more serious offences against so- ciety are not given such drastic sentences. They already have won part of their case, because the court ruled the Province cannot recov- er the amounts they obtained fraudulently by deducting them from meagre welfare benefits due their spouses and children, which it sees as punishing the in- nocent. When citizens have such suc- cesses stopping government, it will encourage others to seek them and the Tories have to be concerned still more of their key policies will go down the drain. Citizens can often block policies Hydro One an example of regular people having extraordinary influence Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com Time is rushing forward for the persistent volunteers be- hind the Terry Fox Run. Organizers for the charity run, held in communities across Durham Region, are distributing posters, pledge sheets and signing up volunteers for the big day right now. So it’s impor- tant for everyone to get behind the event right away, to help support these hard-working people, by volunteering, forming a team or signing up and gathering pledges in the few short weeks left before the 2002 run. Easily Canada’s most well-known charity event, the Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research leaves the starting line Sunday, Sept. 15 this year. For the 22nd time, people of all ages, race and ability, will come together to fight a common foe: cancer. They’ll carry on the tradition Terry Fox started in 1980 with his ‘Marathon of Hope’, inspiring so many Canadians with his courage and tenacity as he attempted to run across the coun- try. At the time, he said, “I want to set an example that will never be forgotten.” Based solely on the success of the run every year since, Terry Fox’s example has indeed not been forgotten. Last year alone, $23 million was raised worldwide, a slight increase over the previous year. It was a success despite the run being held just five days after the devastating tragedy in the United States Sept. 11. This year organizers are hoping again for their “biggest and best” run ever. Every day more people are forced to identify with Terry Fox’s dream, as more and more people are diagnosed with cancer. In fact, according to the Terry Fox Foundation, on av- erage 2,633 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every week. It’s likely nearly every resident in Durham Region has been touched by cancer, whether through a family member, friend or even themselves being diagnosed with the disease. With that personal connection, thousands do take part in the run every year, but we can do better. If you haven’t taken part in some way before, consider signing up this year. Whether as a volunteer on Sept. 15, or by raising pledges and taking part yourself, every effort helps the Terry Fox Founda- tion in its efforts to raise funds for use in cancer research. The run itself is no marathon, however. Don’t be discour- aged by your physical fitness level. Participants can take a wheelchair, walk, jog, ride or inline skate their way through the course. Every run has a 10 kilometre distance and most offer a shorter course as well. In Ajax, the run goes from 10 a.m. to noon from Rotary Park on Lake Driveway. Call Tanya Slapnicar at 905-686- 4381. In Pickering, the run goes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from the Pickering Recreation Centre, 1867 Valley Farm Rd. Call San- dra Armstrong at 905-420-8464. Find a way to get involved.

William Peak, the first white set- tler in the Pickering Township, established a home near the mouth of Duffins Creek around 1800. He traded with Indians in the region and served as an interpreter. Peak is the oldest family name on record in connection with settlement of the township. William and his wife had two children. Their son James and wife Ann had eight chil- dren. One of these children was Mary Ann Peak, who was married to John Greenlaw. Their daughters are in this photo. Annie Maggie, born in 1866 died at the age of nine following a baseball accident at school. Ida Louise, born in 1869 died of scalding at the age of four when the family was making soap.

NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 28, 2002 PAGE A7 P PICKERING —A Toronto neurol- ogist whose clinics, including locations in Ajax and Pickering, used dirty nee- dles on patients and caused the worst he- patitis B outbreak in Ontario, has been found guilty of incompetence. Dr. Ronald Wilson displayed a lack of judgment and disregard for the wel- fare of his patients by failing to use proper infection controls at his EEG (electroencephalography) clinics, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario ruled in a written decision re- leased last week. Calling Dr. Wilson’s conduct “dis- graceful”, the college’s discipline com- mittee said he now faces the loss of his medical licence or restrictions to it. A penalty hearing has not yet been set. The committee held the 66-year-old directly responsible for the tragic out- break, though the EEG tests were car- ried out by his technician, Nicholas Kyprianou, who was later tested for he- patitis B and found to be the source. “The failure of Dr. Wilson to appro- priately supervise directly and audit the behaviour of (Mr. Kyprianou) over a pe- riod exceeding 20 years (is) egregious in the extreme,” the committee ruled. Discovery records filed more than a year ago showed Mr. Kyprianou still worked for Dr. Wilson at a Scarborough sleep clinic at that point. The long-awaited ruling comes more than six years after 14,000 people were exposed to the potentially fatal liver dis- ease in an outbreak discovered by public health officials in January 1996. One man died, and up to a thousand became infected. Some are still carriers and face the prospect of dying prematurely from liver disease. All had attended, between 1990 and 1996, one of six EEG clinics that Dr. Wilson and Mr. Kyprianou op- erated in Scarborough, North York, Markham, Ajax and Pickering. The EEG tests were used to measure the electrical activity of the brain in people suffering from acute headaches, epilep- sy and brain-stem disorders. ‘Dr. Wilson’s failure to ensure the health and safety of his staff and patients in this way showed disregard for practice standards and was, in fact, disgraceful.’ DOCTORS’ COLLEGE COMMITTEE Hepatitis B is the most infectious blood-borne disease and is easier to transmit than hepatitis C or HIV. “On behalf of the complainants, the numerous victims in this tragedy, as well as the public, the college is very satisfied with the findings that the com- mittee made,” college prosecutor Shaun Nakatsuru said yesterday. Dr. Wilson and his lawyers could not be reached for comment. Patients at Dr. Wilson’s discipline hearing in January testified they never saw surgical gloves used by Mr. Kypri- anou when he inserted needle electrodes into their scalp. Some left the office with blood run- ning down their face or neck after he yanked the needles out all at once, caus- ing bleeding and pain. Later, some became violently ill as a result of being infected and were hospi- talized with life-threatening illnesses. All were physically and emotionally traumatized by their symptoms. The committee ruled the reuse of needle electrodes from patient to patient without sterilization or cleaning did not meet any standard of practice at the time, based on testimony given by infec- tious disease experts. “Dr. Wilson’s failure to ensure the health and safety of his staff and patients in this way showed disregard for prac- tice standards and was, in fact, disgrace- ful.” Former employees of Dr. Wilson’s clinics also testified, saying they never saw Mr. Kyprianou clean or sterilize the electrodes. At least one employee said he complained to Dr. Wilson and also contacted Ontario health officials and the college to warn them about unsafe practices as early as the fall of 1991. But the Health Ministry told him it was the college’s responsibility to investigate doctors. The college told him to call the ministry. The committee also accepted expert testimony that Dr. Wilson had ordered not-medically-necessary EEG tests, that he continued to use needle electrodes in the 1980s when their use by then was considered unsafe and that he failed to ensure the safety of his own staff. The college’s decision is the second major blow for Dr. Wilson, who contin- ues to maintain his innocence. The neu- rologist settled a class-action lawsuit for $27.5 million in December with EEG patients. — Torstar News Service A/P PAGE A8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 28, 2002 Join the United Way of Ajax-Pickering (also serving the township of Uxbridge) and Ontario Power Generation’s Pickering Nuclear station as we kick off the charity’s 2002 Fundraising Campaign with the 3rd Annual Community Power Challenge, a 3 or 5 K walk or 5 or 10 K timed Run Event on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH.

The council meeting re- garding a final decision on redevelopment of the Metro East Trade Centre is Sept. 17. The News Advertiser re- grets the error. Correction Durham was motoring A classic time was had by all last weekend as hundreds of cars hit the General Motors of Canada headquarters in Oshawa for Aut- ofest 2002. Car lovers from Durham and beyond took trips down memory lane with antique vehicles, had a look at numerous street rods and muscle cars and enjoyed plenty of other activities. Tom Molica, of Ajax, left, shows off his 1965 Cobra, a model he built himself. One just wasn’t enough for Pickering’s Jerry Manwaring, who brought three of his many cars to the show, including these two 1957 Ford Fairlanes behind him. Durham car lovers had plenty of automobile favourites to choose from at the show. BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM ––When national CAW leader Buzz Hargrove talks Ford, CAW Local 222 president Mike Shields is happy. Mr. Shields wants General Motors of Canada, whose unionized employ- ees he represents, to be the target in this year’s contract negotiations with the Big Three automakers. And he figures Ford is out of the running now that Mr. Hargrove has named the company as a possible tar- get, leaving the way open for GM. In the last two sets of contract nego- tiations, the company mentioned as a possible tar- get by Mr. Hargrove was not the one chosen, Mr. Shields said. It seems that early mention by Mr. Har- grove is the “kiss of death” for the CAW negotia- tors representing the employees of any company so named, he added. “I feel good that Buzz keeps talking about the strategy of picking Ford,” he said. “We’re always the main show so why not just start with us.” While preliminary negotiations have been going on with all three companies at the local and master levels since July, the CAW chooses its main target after the Labour Day Weekend. Then the union sits down with that company and hammers out a contract which sets the pattern for talks with the other two companies. If a contract can’t be worked out with the target, then a strike can occur. This year, Mr. Hargrove will announce the target on Sept. 5. No matter what company is the tar- get, all three are aware of the strong strike votes taken on the weekend. Workers at all of GM’s plants and those at DaimlerChrysler voted 97 per cent in favour of a strike if an agreement isn’t reached by Sept. 17. At Ford, the vote was 95 per cent. CAW Local 222 voted 97 per cent in favour of a strike if needed. “This is an overwhelming majority and it is significant because it sends a strong message. Our membership is be- hind our leadership,” said Mr. Shields, who heads the largest private sector union local in Canada. Mr. Shields is heading the CAW’s master bargaining committee with GM, marking his second time in that posi- tion. “We’ve had good dialogue so far but the reality is very few issues have been resolved. That’s not abnormal for this time in the procedure,” he said. Negotiations won’t be easy this year as all three companies are slated to close manufacturing plants over 16 months. GM’s only assembly plant in Quebec closes later this week. Ford will shut its truck factory in Oakville next year and DaimlerChrysler is ex- pected to close its Windsor van plant next year. –– With Torstar News Service files A/P PAGE A10 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 28, 2002 Personal and Business Bankruptcy Including all other Insolvency Service SATURDAY & EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION Diane E.

The defending champion Dolphins coughed up four interceptions and three fumbles, with the Stampeders making the most of Ajax-Pickering miscues en route to a 35-6 victory in the title game at Pine Ridge Secondary School. The win was the ninth of the season for the first-place Stampeders, which entered the game with an unblemished 8-0 COMFL regular-season record. The Dolphins, meanwhile, finished third with a 6-2 regular-season (8-3 overall) mark. Ryan Bardgett scored the Dolphins’ lone touchdown. Erik Glavic was the Dolphins’game star on offence; Dennis Cole was the team’s defensive game star. Saturday’s championship tilt was played before a large crowd of more than 400. The bantams conclude a successful 2002 campaign with a team banquet Sept. 29. The Dolphins’ coaching staff in- cluded head coach Jim Bardgett, and assistants Tim Campbell (defence), Drew Trotman (quarterbacks/running backs), Alan Swarbrick (defence) and Dave Trafford (defence). The manager was Joanne Thomas, the equipment manager was Wennell Best and Travis Thomas was the team’s water boy. Roster basically set as exhibition play opens next week BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —With training camp winding down, all systems are go for the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers as they head into exhibition play next week. Panthers’ head coach Jim Wilson reported the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League club made its final seven cuts during the first week of the club’s training camp. The team is set to carry 13 forwards, eight defencemen and two goaltenders into the exhibition season, which includes the OHA’s annual kickoff tournament in Vaughan Sept. 5 to 8. “If we feel that the roster needs further adjustments, we’ll do that after the tournament, prior to the start of the season,” said Wilson. The final paring of the roster did- n’t come without at least one surprise. Among the team’s final cuts was vet- eran forward Chris Anderson who was released by the club last week. “He’s a nice kid who was brought in last year as an underager. He just didn’t quite fit in with our needs at this point,” said Wilson, adding An- derson was going to try out with other junior ‘A’ clubs this week. The Panthers did, however, bolster its blue-line by acquiring veteran de- fenceman and Pickering resident Dennis Colterman from the Bramalea Blues. The three-way deal was sealed Monday morning, with the Panthers sending defenceman Sean Bradley to the Streetsville Derbys of the league’s Western Conference, and Streetsville, in turn, sending two players to the Blues. “He’s a terrific kid who’s a fine player with outstanding character,” said Wilson. “He’s a very positive ad- dition to the team.” Over the past week, Wilson noted he was impressed by the positive at- mosphere in the camp and with the leadership provided by the veteran players. “It’s always a good sign when the veterans set the tone for the new play- ers coming into the program,” he said. As well, Wilson was impressed with how the rookies adapted to the rigours of the camp, especially to the off-ice sessions that covered a lot of information in a relatively short time. “Unfortunately, (the rookies) were overloaded. We do a lot of classroom work with eight hours in the class- room this week. Their ability to as- similate the information was good at the end of the week, but it was diffi- cult for them in the beginning,” he said. Looking at his club, Wilson noted goaltending is the team’s strength. Veteran netminder Scott Gray and promising rookie Michael Fini, for- merly with the Wexford Raiders midgets, form what he believes will be a “solid” goaltending tandem. If there’s a question mark, it’s with the club’s inexperienced defence corps, said Wilson. But, he’s confi- dent his blue-liners, especially with the addition of Colterman, will learn and grow as the season progresses. “Probably, we’re a little less expe- rienced on defence and we’re a little younger than some of the teams,” said Wilson. “But, we think we have a ter- rific upside to develop the talent we have. It does put a greater stress on the team to commit to defence.” As for the forwards, Wilson said the coaching staff is still sorting out potential line combinations, and will continue to do so in the final days of camp, which ends Friday. He’s confi- dent the forwards have the combina- tion of speed and skill to compete successfully in the league. “If they play well together, we should get our fair share of goals,” he said.

Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as speed dial, redial and voice mail. 2. Use a hands-fee device. Headsets allow drivers to keep both hands on the wheel while talking. Speakerphones also make it easy to have a hands- free conversation. 3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. 4. Let the person you are speaking with know if you are driving, it helps keep calls brief. 5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Use pre-set numbers for voice activated or speed dialing. 6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. 7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road. 8. Be a good citizen: Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Dial 9-1-1 or other local emergency numbers to report serious emergencies - it’s a free call from your wireless phone. 9. To get roadside assistance or to report non- emergency situations, use special numbers assigned for those purposes in your area rather than 9-1-1. 1 10. Consider enrolling in a wireless carrier’s roadside help program. WHEN YOU PAY YOUR CARRIER!

In the regional tournament final, the Pirates defeated rival Ajax 10-9. The title game featured six lead changes, with the Pickering peewees finally nailing down the win in their last at bat. Trailing by one run, Tyler Hen- derson and Eric Watson started the inning with back-to-back sin- gles. Jeff Hannon followed with his third hit and third RBI of the game to tie the score. With one out, Ian Smook singled to drive in the winning run. Other offensive stars were An- drew Adamac with two RBIs and two runs scored, Ryan McMackin with two RBIs and two hits and Eric Wilton with three hits and an RBI. The Pirates played excellent defensively throughout the tour- nament, most notably shortstop Mitchell Oke who made seven put-outs in the championship game. The Pirates scored prelimi- nary-round victories over Ajax 4- 3 and Whitby 7-2. Against Ajax, the Spartans jumped to an early 3-0 lead, but Pickering chipped away and went ahead for good in the fourth in- ning on a two-run single by Kyle Smeelen. Versus Whitby, the Pirates scored the first seven runs. The key to this victory, however, was the combined three-hit pitching of Watson, Smeelen and Wilton. These hurlers handled all the mound duties for the Pirates throughout the tournament and were exceptional, especially Smeelen who gave up only one hit in eight innings. Other players for the Pickering major peewee selects are Jeff Love and Aaron Karamath. Larry Henderson, John Smee- len and Doug Wilton coach the team.

The Panthers are tied for second place with Scarborough United, one point behind Wexford. The Pickering girls posted a con- vincing 8-0 win over North York Hearts thanks to tenacious checking and great passing. Natalie Guest opened the scor- ing. Kayla Schroeder crossed the ball to Alison Smith who fired the ball over the keeper’s head for the second goal of the game. Shona Dunkley added anoth- er goal. Karlie Doucette extended the lead to 4-0. Guest rounded out the scoring for the first half. The Panthers contin- ued to press in the second half. After several min- utes of sustained pressure, Karin Toomsalu pounced on a rebound for a goal. Marissa Smith also scored as a result of some excellent passing. Smith struck a crisp left-footed shot into the net. Guest rounded out the scoring with her third of the game, accepting a pass from Kathryn Rumboldt. It was the first hat trick by a Panthers’ player this season. Goalkeepers Tiffany Allen and Karlie Doucette shared the shutout. The Panthers earned a 5-2 win over Ajax in a disciplined effort. The Ajax and Picker- ing squads were evenly matched for the first 10 minutes of play. Smith gave Pickering the lead and later extended its lead to 2-0 when Toomsalu’s hard work resulted in a goal. Ajax countered before the half with a skilful goal to narrow Pickering’s lead to one goal. The Panthers took control of the play in the second half and dominated the rest of the way. Pickering defenders Lindsay Taylor, Marissa Smith, Jenna Smith and Bethan Davies and midfield- ers Kathryn Rumboldt, Kayla Schroed- er, Tiffany Allen and Lauren Giles con- tained the Ajax forwards, while send- ing the ball to the Panthers’strikers. Teamwork resulted in the Panthers’ important third goal that turned the tide in the Panthers’ favour. Rumboldt and Doucette set up Giles for the goal. The Pickering under-11s continued to press and increased their lead on the hard work of Gillian Clayton. Clayton gath- ered up a loose ball in the Ajax zone and kicked the ball over the keeper’s head for the fourth Pickering goal. Later in the game, Clayton intercepted an Ajax goal kick and alertly passed the ball to Toomsalu who notched her sec- ond goal of the game. Although trailing by four goals Ajax did not give up. The Warriors placed a hard, accurate kick into the Pickering goal with about five minutes left.

With help from Bell Sympatico High Speed Internet service, families are doing more online, in less time. The Internet is now a family affair. In households on every block, mom, dad and the kids all have their favourite things to do online. There’s researching for school projects, organizing family outings, getting information on health issues, and the list goes on and on. In an effort to make the online experi- ence faster and easier for families, Bell Sympatico™High Speed Internet service offers an approach that’s very popular with families. The premise is simple: provide high speed Internet access that decreases the time it takes to do things online. There’s an obvious benefit here for families. The time saved with Sympatico High Speed Internet service can be used to enjoy other family activities. Here’s a look at what can be done online quickly with high speed access: • Emailing family pictures to loved ones • Viewing video emails • Watching movie trailers • Listening to music • Researching school projects • Comparison shopping • Choosing a school or college • Taking online educational courses • Banking online • Booking a trip • Starting a new hobby • Finding health information • Purchasing a home High speed access means downloading information from Web sites can be done in a matter of seconds.†Even during peak hours, there’s no waiting as there often is with dial-up Internet access. This kind of speed is something Bell views as absolutely necessary to help meet the needs of busy households. As the Internet is used more often to take care of daily activities, families on dial-up Internet access must balance the use of their phone with the use of the Internet. Sympatico High Speed Internet service eliminates the need for this bal- ancing act because it allows families to ‘talk and surf’at the same time. This means that outgoing calls can be made and incoming calls can get through, even when someone is online. And if someone is online, they won’t get dis- connected from the Internet when an incoming call is picked up or an outgoing call is placed. Emailing remains one of the most popular online activities with all family members. In recognition of this fact, Sympatico High Speed Internet service allows up to six email addresses per household account. This means that every- one in the family can have their own private mailbox. Anti-spam email filtering is also included with this service. This means that most unwanted emails are kept out of a subscriber’s inbox. Parents are obvi- ously glad to have this kind of email fil- tering, since it gives them added control over the emails their children are receiving. Families with dial-up Internet access usually have to go without email access while away on vacation. Not so, with Sympatico High Speed Internet service. Email can be accessed using GetEmail, a Web-based email service, from any computer connected to the Internet, at any time convenient to subscribers. In fact, this Internet service also allows up to 10 hours of free dial-up access per month when subscribers are away from home. Another area in which Sympatico High Speed Internet service gets high marks with families is its free tech- nical support. For parents who feel their children are often better with com- puters than they are, having a toll-free number that they can call around the clock is reassuring. As more families use the Internet to help with their daily activities, Sympatico High Speed Internet service will likely increase in popularity. The benefits of high speed access, which offers faster speeds than dial-up access, as well as other convenient features, can be appre- ciated by every family trying to squeeze more time into their busy lives. More information on Bell Sympatico High Speed Internet service, including how to order, is available by calling 1 877 571-2177, or by visiting www.bell.sympatico.ca/gofast or a Bell World store. Sympatico High Speed Internet service . . . allows families to ‘talk and surf’ at the same time. A/P PAGE B10 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 28, 2002
