It’s a first for Durham’s new university ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Steven Pitman represents a milestone for the University of Ontario Institute of Technolo- gy: he’s the first student at the still-under-construction school. BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Steven Pit- man started university in Os- hawa this week. Never mind his chosen school has no courses and isn’t even open yet. The Oshawa resident, who graduated last year from Mon- signor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School, is the Uni- versity of Ontario Institute of Technology’s (UOIT) first stu- dent. You may be thinking, ‘I thought UOIT doesn’t open until next fall’, and you’d be right. “His case was unique in that he was starting university this year and he had made up his mind he wanted to come to UOIT when it opened,” said Richard Levin, UOIT’s registrar and vice-president of student services. As a result, Mr. Pitman was admitted on an exceptional basis for this year. He will be at- tending the Durham College campus in Oshawa part-time to start, taking chemistry, English literature and psychology courses through Trent Universi- ty. Mr. Pitman has his eye on a bachelor of science degree and said he’ll probably spend his whole university career at UOIT. “I can’t wait to get started,” he said in an interview. Mr. Pitman said UOIT’s lo- cation was the main selling point. “Just the fact that it’s close to home and it would be easier to afford in the long run,” he said. That’s fitting, since UOIT president Gary Polonsky has said that’s why he began advo- cating for a university in Durham over a decade ago — UOIT’s inaugural student begins campus life BY KEITH GILLIGAN Staff Writer AJAX — The Social Devel- opment Council (SDC) of Ajax- Pickering may have to slash one of its most popular programs unless it can make up a $30,000 funding shortfall. Agency board member Rev- erend Glen Eagle told Ajax council last week funding from the United Way of Ajax-Picker- ing was cut, leaving the SDC in a serious financial position. “Our difficulty is the United Way cut what they call our core funding by ($30,000),” he said. “Core funding is administra- tion, rent, utilities. They didn’t send ($30,000) over and it made it difficult for the Social Devel- opment Council.” Last year, the United Way gave the SDC $80,000, but this year passed on $49,548. Without more money, the SDC would have to close down its information centre, which re- sponds to about 6,000 calls a year seeking information of community and government services. “I spoke to the United Way and they’ve given me the ratio- nale for the reduction,” said Ward 3 local Councillor Randy Low, the council representative on the SDC. “The Social Devel- opment Council had a problem, but clearly it has turned. BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Writer DURHAM — It’s a deal. Five hours short of a mid- night deadline, General Motors of Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers union announced they’d reached a tentative agree- ment Tuesday, avoiding a strike by 19,000 workers at the com- pany’s Canadian operations. The agreement, which is subject to ratification by union members this weekend, calls for wage increases of three per cent this year and next, two per cent in the final year and new invest- ment in new facilities and prod- ucts in Oshawa. There are also improvements to health-care benefits, three new holidays and 28 more hours of vacation time, a $10,000 in- crease in the retirement incen- tive and a $1,000 signing bonus. GM announced an additional $800 million in new investment for its Canadian plants over the life of the agreement. This in- cludes the completion of a new paint plant in Oshawa and a new model for the truck plant. “General Motors’ strong commitment to Canada will GM keeps on motoring Automaker, union reach new deal to avoid strike PICKERING —Organiz- ers of the local Terry Fox Run say Pickering residents should be proud.

Both the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board are making live presenta- tions to the task force, given the job of reviewing the province’s education funding formula. Local officials will call for money to negotiate employee contracts and meet the requirements of high-needs students. Beyond those common denomina- tors, public board trustees Monday night found little common ground in their presentation. Some favoured a more hard-hitting approach while oth- ers felt the document struck a good bal- ance between calling for more funding but not being overly critical. “There definitely is a split in terms of what is being supported,” board chairman Elizabeth Roy said in an in- terview. “I have to respect both sides.” She planned to meet with education director Grant Yeo before the morning presentation to try and strike a balance. The Durham Catholic District School Board also approved its submis- sion at a special board meeting Mon- day. Veteran Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey, in an interview, suggested it was now or never for the Province to increase edu- cation funding following the review. “If they don’t move after this one, then education is lost,” he said. Trustee Corey said the presentation outlines “some serious problems”, in- cluding a lack of funding for employee salaries and benefits. The presentation notes board teacher salaries have in- creased roughly eight per cent in the last four years, but that the board’s “ag- gregate funding increases were only 3.55 per cent”. As well, it states “the biggest under- lying problem is that the level of in- creases in funding provided to recog- nize inflation have not kept pace with the economic reality experienced with- in the province over the same period of time.” Public board trustees generally found much to dislike in the presenta- tion created by staff. Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford said if the board goes “storming in” and calling for more funding, it would be a poor approach since it hasn’t been suc- cessful in the past. “Years ago when we had loads of money, we didn’t exactly spend it right,” noted Trustee Crawford. He favoured a statement that “this board has made special-education pri- ority number one.” On the issue of recommending re- gional economic zones, where several boards would send a joint bargaining team to negotiate employee contracts, Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper was opposed. “You can’t actually go to a table and have somebody do a negotiation on your behalf,” she said, favouring provincewide negotiations or the status quo. Like several other trustees, Trustee Hopper objected to the notion the fund- ing formula is basically sound, just un- derfunded. “It seems like quality means you strip everything down to its common denominator and no one gets anything anyone else doesn’t have,” she said. Of the recommendation to have school boards get out of the transporta- tion business, Whitby Trustee Doug Ross said it was misguided. “It’s not that we’re not interested in being in the transportation business, it’s that we can’t afford to be in the trans- portation business,” said Trustee Ross. Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford said if the board is rebuffed in attempts to secure more funding, it should call for more flexibility in how to spend existing money. The Catholic board presentation also highlights deficiencies in funding for school computers, maintenance and up- grades. Both boards call for intensive support amount (ISA) — special-edu- cation funding — to be provided ac- cording to what provincial audits of boards revealed — namely that they are entitled to more of it. The task force is to wrap up its work by November and make recommenda- tions to Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer in the coming months. BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer AJAX —Masked bandits armed with guns and knives tied up and terror- ized an Ajax family during a violent home invasion robbery Monday. Police said a 50-year-old man and his wife, 42, were home with their son, 21, when five to six intruders forced their way into the Purcell Lane resi- dence, near Bayly Street and Monarch Avenue, at about 11 p.m. The thugs, three with handguns and two with knives, demanded drugs and money and marched the men into the basement, where they were tied up. The mother, who was watching tele- vision upstairs when the thugs burst into the residence, was dragged from the bedroom, police said. The woman tried to escape out a back door but was pulled back by the at- tackers, one who threatened her with a knife held to her throat. She was forced into the basement and bound with the others, police said. The intruders “continually threat- ened the victims, removed personal jewelry and then ransacked the house,” said Sergeant Paul Malik. After about 30 minutes they left. The family eventu- ally managed to untie themselves and call 911 at 1 a.m. Police are investigating the possibili- ty the assailants had intended a drug ripoff but targeted the wrong residence. “Their (suspects’) intelligence infor- mation obviously wasn’t very good, un- fortunately for the innocent victims,” said Sgt. Malik. The father and son were not injured, however, the woman was taken to hospital with “emotional trau- ma.” Detectives are investigating the at- tack and evidence collection officers yesterday searched the scene for foren- sic clues that could identify the gang. The suspects are described as male, black, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8, with medi- um builds, wearing dark clothing, armed with handguns and knifes. At least two wore blue bandanas covering their faces. One had a green sweater with a hood covering his face, low-cut black running shoes with a red stripe on them and black baggy pants.

I shed 35 pounds in 4 easy months with hypnosis! My dress size quickly plunged from a plump 14 to a sleek 4 and it was effortless! My weight melted off at an average three pounds a week! This is my true story... I will reveal how I lost my weight... Why I’m convinced my success is permanent... And why I think hypnosis can help you, too!” By: Tila MacDonald I had been overweight for ten years. After I turned 40, my weight started creeping up every year. I was unhappy and disgusted with myself. No matter what I did, I couldn’t lose my weight. Food seemed to have some strange control over me. I couldn’t get past a bakery without loading up on breads and pastries. I knew that my health was at risk. I’d visit my doctor twice a month or more just for reassurance. I attended diet workshops and tried a variety of diets on my own. I even tried those chalky shakes. Nothing ever worked. I had become a yo-yo dieter. I hid my weight with bulky jackets and loose clothing. By the time I had my first grandchild, I had all but given up. I was mortified to know that I was going to be in photographs. I was miserable about my appearance and my emotions were out of control. Negative thoughts and feelings were controlling me...at the bottom of it all was my weight. Discovery I read about Positive Changes Hypnosis in the newspaper. I looked at it and then set it aside. I was skeptical. It all seemed too good to be true. Six months later, I saw a person I recognized in the ad. I thought that if hypnosis could work for her, maybe it could help me, too. I called and made an appointment for my free hypnosis screening. My screening was easy and fun. There was no pressure. Everything was explained to me and the fee was reasonable. I knew that I needed to change myself from the inside. I signed up that day. Results I noticed an immediate change in my behavior. I took off 8 pounds my first week! It was easy! I simply relaxed and listened to my hypnotist’s voice. I never used to drink water. I now enjoy drinking water every day. I used to eat a lot of sugar. No more! I eat healthier foods and enjoy them. Hypnosis helped me to eliminate cravings, food binges and poor food choices. I go through the bakery and I am no longer tempted by the breads and pastries. I shop for food more effectively. Best of all, I never feel deprived. I enjoy my life more and have energy to spare. All of my old negative feelings, worry and anxiety are gone. I’m in control again. In four short months I melted off my entire 35 lbs. My waist is a dramatic four inches smaller! People now call me “Skinny.” And it’s true! Today I am a slender 118 lbs. and I owe it all to Positive Changes Hypnosis. Healthy Benefits I marvel at the many unexpected benefits that I’ve experienced with the Positive Changes Hypnosis program. I deal with negative people much better. I no longer have panic attacks. I am more confident. My irritable bowel problems are gone and I no longer need to carry antacids. My doctor was amazed at my progress. In fact, he’s been joking with me that I’ll soon put him out of business with my improved health. The New Me! There are no words that can express the difference in how I feel. I love the new me! I used to avoid mirrors. Now I’m happy with my reflection. I even love to pose for the camera. People at work have noticed that I walk and talk differently. There is a serenity about me that I didn’t have before. They say that I look young and vibrant. It’s fun to get so many compliments! I think the Positive Changes Hypnosis program is worth twice the price for the benefits I have received. I have lost weight, gained positive feelings, increased my self-confidence and improved my health dramatically. I don’t feel that constant need to be reassured by my doctor because I know that my health is great. These are the reasons I recommend Positive Changes to people every day. I am still amazed by the positive side effects of hypnosis! My Recommendation I am convinced that my results are permanent. I have not put on a single ounce since I started the Positive Changes program. I know that the yo-yo syndrome is over for good. In fact, I have kept my weight off for six easy months! My recommendation to you is this, give Positive Changes Hypnosis a call. Schedule your complimentary hypnosis screening and evaluation. I know you’ll be as impressed as I am. You’ll meet caring people who are genuinely concerned about your happiness. Best of all, their fees are low and the guarantee lets you try the program at no risk. Think about it, if you don’t call, your life will probably remain the same and you will have missed out on what could have been. I urge you to pick up your telephone and call now.

Boards make their funding case Catholic, public school officials before task force review officials today in Toronto ELIZABETH ROY ‘I have to respect both sides’. “The rationale given to me, they’re looking for the Social Development Coun- cil, for the lack of a better word, to change its man- date,” he added, noting some clients of the agency live outside Ajax and Pickering. SDC executive director Colleen Jordan said the agency did request some funding from the Oshawa- Whitby-Clarington United Way but was turned down. “The information centre serves Ajax and Pickering only and it’s the service with the greatest funding short- fall,” Ms. Jordan added. The United Way board turned down the SDC’s funding request, and that de- cision was appealed and de- nied again, she said. United Way executive di- rector Edna Klazek wouldn’t comment beyond saying, “The board meets Wednes- day and there will be some discussion. We did fund them but in a decreased man- ner.” United Way officials are scheduled to speak to coun- cillors Sept. 30 about the municipality’s annual dona- tion. Finance director Greg Kirkbride said the Town has pledged about $70,000 this year, although the money has not yet been sent. For every dollar the SDC receives from the United Way, it receives another $9.80 from other sources, such as Durham Region, the federal and provincial gov- ernments, and different foun- dations, Rev. Eagle said. Ms. Jordan said other rev- enue is often contingent on United Way funding. “Absolutely. Many say they won’t fund a whole pro- gram. They expect others, in- cluding the United Way, to fund the shortfall,” Ms. Jor- dan said. Without core funding, the agency wouldn’t be able to offer programs, Rev. Eagle added. He showed councillors the agency’s budget for this year. “It’s a bare-bones budget. We don’t have clerical staff. There’s no room in the bud- get for computers,” he stated. Rev. Eagle was asking council to push the United Way to provide the SDC with more money or step in itself. “We’re asking the Town to provide the missing money. I would hate to see the program go under,” he said, noting the request would be “a one-time” oc- currence. “We’re looking at a grant for $50,000.” Ajax councillors did vote to grant the SDC $4,000. “Four thousand from us isn’t sufficient for what they’re looking for,” said Coun. Low. “I’m not sug- gesting we control how the United Way uses our money, but they can give us an ex- planation.” The SDC will also speak with Pickering council.

The company announced at a press conference in Whitby Tuesday morning it is handing over a two-acre parcel of land to the college. The acreage is between the skills training centre and the Menzies Chrysler dealership on Champlain Avenue, near Thickson Road. “We are extremely grate- ful for this generous gift from DaimlerChrysler Canada,” said Gary Polonsky, presi- dent of Durham College and the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology. “Much of our college’s success hinges on strong re- lationships with our col- leagues in business and in- dustry. This is going to be an important addition to what we’ll be able to do as a col- lege and as a university.” The Whitby centre cur- rently serves approximately 500 full-time post-secondary students and 1,000 appren- tices in the skilled trades and specialty programs and thou- sands pursuing career-related training. The building under- went a major expansion and renovation in 2000-01. “We have a significant need for skills training... so that the sector can grow as Ontario grows,”said Jim Fla- herty,Whitby-Ajax MPP and Minister of Enterprise, Op- portunity and Innovation. “In the automotive sector, we are stressing innovation.” DaimlerChrysler Canada acquired the nine-acre site in 1999 and later determined it would have land to spare. Discussions commenced be- tween the company and the college. A spokesman for Durham College said it’s too soon to predict when and what specifically will be de- veloped on the land. Durham lands large donation ‘Important addition to what we’ll be able to do,’says college president A.J.

BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —‘White’ sands and ‘high’ tides took on a whole different meaning for David Pickles over his summer vacation. On a trip to the Cayman Islands in August, the Pickering councillor and his family were combing the beach for conches and other shells when they came across a suspicious package that had washed ashore. Inside were two kilograms of co- caine, which the Pickles’ immediately turned in to the local authorities. Detective Chief Superintendent Derek Haines of the Cayman Islands Drug Task Force said the package con- tained cocaine with an estimated street value of $360,000 Canadian. “From time to time we do get drugs washing up on shore,” said Det. Chief Sup. Haines in an interview from the Cayman Islands this week. “We’re just pleased it fell into the hands of such publicly spirited people like the Pickles’ instead of some ne’er-do-wells.” He said unfortunately many drug traffickers use the islands as a “trans- shipment” point and the drugs may have fallen or were thrown off a smuggler’s boat. Upon their return to Pickering the Pickles received a letter of commenda- tion from the Cayman Islands Drug Task Force. Coun. Pickles said he was just glad he could help. “Grand Cayman is a beautiful island, we had a great vacation. The cocaine find added an unusual twist,” he said. “Knowing that we played a part in taking drugs that dam- age people’s lives off the street gives us a certain sense of satisfaction.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 18, 2002 PAGE A5 A/P NO PAY M E N T S NO INTE R E S T For 1 ye a r .

Mr. Levin said Mr. Pitman’s enrol- ment is a milestone for UOIT. “It’s exciting,” he said. “It’s nice to know there are people out there who have waited for us to open and are in- terested in what we’re doing. “We’re getting quite a few calls, both from students in the region and other students,” he added, noting some have come from outside of Canada. He said Mr. Pitman would be a guinea pig of sorts: he will be the first student to have a laptop computer as part of his regular school equipment. Mr. Levin said UOIT’s mobile learning program provides every student with a laptop and integrates technology into learning. “Students will be able to plug their computers into their classroom desk,” he said. Mr. Levin said local high school students who are interested in attending UOIT next fall should talk to their guidance counsellor. They can also obtain more information about the university by visiting the Web site at www.uoit.ca.

This will give us the ca- pability of running all of our operations in Oshawa on three shifts.” The truck plant will get a new, four- door, crew cab model, while the No. 2 car plant, the only plant not on three shifts, will be the preliminary lead plant for the development of the next genera- tion of Buick Regal in 2005, said Mr. Grimaldi who called the agreement “fair”. CAW president Buzz Hargrove called it “an excellent” but “responsi- ble” agreement for union members. “We’re very, very proud of this agreement. There are no concessions in this agreement,” he said, adding the highlights are the fact the agreement was reached without any labour stop- page and the massive, new investment in Canada. Company and union offi- cials had been negotiating since the middle of July, although serious talks began Sept. 5, when Mr. Hargrove picked GM as the target for this year’s contract negotiations. Local 222 presi- dent Mike Shields headed up the na- tional bargaining committee. GM’s first economic offer, presented Sept. 13, was called by Mr. Hargrove the “worst first offer” the CAW had re- ceived, dating back to 1979. A second offer, made by GM Sunday, got a better welcome from the union and led to round-the-clock bargaining leading up to Tuesday’s agreement. The three-year agreement will now be used as a pattern by Mr. Hargrove in talks with Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd. and DaimlerChrysler Inc. The union leader has said he expected nego- tiations with Ford to be the toughest, due to the planned closure of the Oakville truck plant. The CAW last struck GM during the 1996 talks, when GM refused to accept the pattern. Union members walked out over the contracting out of parts, idling plants for 22 days. The CAW has 19,000 members working at GM plants throughout On- tario. Assemblers at GM make $27.70 an hour while electricians make $33.10. Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com A famous election promise that once put the Liberals in govern- ment is being kept in part, oddly, by the Progressive Conservatives 17 years later. The bizarre saga of whether small, grocery corner stores should be allowed to sell alcohol has more twists and turns than a corkscrew and is enough to drive anyone to drink. It started as a minor issue in the 1970s when independent grocers asked a Tory government to let them sell wine so they could be more viable and compete against chains. The Province was selling wine and spirits through its own stores and beer in brewery-run stores, but was starting to allow sales in small grocery stores in northern commu- nities too sparsely populated to support a liquor store, and wines in boutiques in some supermarkets. A New Democrat brought in a bill to allow corner stores across the province to sell beer and a Lib- eral a bill to allow them to sell beer and wine, but the Tory majority at the time rejected both. The Tories argued they would cause more drinking — particular- ly among teens who store staff would have difficulty refusing — impaired driving, and robberies with more cash in tills. Liberal leader David Peterson revived the issue almost by acci- dent in the 1985 election. The Lib- erals had not put it in a long list of promises in their written platform or even discussed it in caucus. Mr. Peterson mentioned it in the last breath of his kickoff speech, but raised little interest, and repeated when touring a brew- ery, “we should be selling this stuff in corner stores.” Before the election, Mr. Peter- son had not done much to expose flaws in the Tories’ policies or in- spire a belief that after being in power for four decades, they could be replaced. But the Tories had changed pre- miers and their new leader, Frank Miller, liked for his folksiness, was at 57, two years older than his pre- decessor and easy to paint as too rural and outdated. Many were looking for a more contemporary- looking premier. Mr. Peterson’s advocacy of booze in corner stores captured the imagination of news media, which suggested fancifully it symbolized him as a dashing young leader who would take Ontario into a new era of badly-needed modernization. Mr. Peterson thereafter promised booze in corner stores everywhere he went and when he paused for breath, he was asked about it. The issue was blown out of pro- portion and almost anything Mr. Peterson said for the rest of the campaign, however commonplace, was seen a pronouncement of great wisdom. The Tories maintained their op- position and were accused of being in the pockets of big breweries which donated to them, while the NDP, which once supported corner store sales, turned around and op- posed on the grounds union jobs would be at risk. The Tories, as a result, obtained only a minority government and within months Mr. Peterson ousted them with the help of the NDP and became premier. Mr. Peterson had a more seri- ous agenda to fulfil, much of it forced on him by the NDP, and showed no thirst for getting on with allowing corner stores to sell booze, as opposition mounted from municipalities, police and health groups. But after constant reminders by the media, his minority govern- ment eventually brought in legisla- tion to allow small grocery stores to sell beer and wine and was de- feated by the Tories and NDP. Mr. Peterson showed his lack of enthu- siasm when he refused to leave a reception a few yards down the corridor to turn up and vote. A year later Mr. Peterson won a huge majority in another election and could comfortably have passed legislation allowing corner stores to sell booze, but never raised the issue again. But governments including the one led by Ernie Eves are steadily allowing more selected corner gro- ceries to sell booze where there are not enough people to justify putting in its own stores. The government now says it will sprinkle them through the province, so Mr. Peterson has got part of his wish, but it has taken longer than aging good whisky. Aged legislation hits the shelves Booze for corners stores comes almost two decades after being promised Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 18, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Proud members of The horrible accident that saw a father and his two-year- old daughter struck and killed by a train at a crossing in Pick- ering has led to a call by an inquest jury for a ban on the use of cellphones. The jury, after hearing the Ajax man’s pickup truck crashed through the barrier while he was speaking to his ex- wife on a cellphone, recommended cellphone use be banned for novice drivers immediately and possibly for all drivers. The jury’s recommendations are part of an ongoing de- bate about the safety of cellphone use while driving. Spec- tacular accidents that can be traced back to inattentiveness caused by the use of hand-held cellphones have resulted in bans in New York State and in many other countries around the world. Some argue there are plenty of other activities, such as smoking, drinking coffee or pop, eating, makeup application, adjustment of audio equipment, even reading newspapers or books, that cause driver inattention. The argument goes, why single out cellphones for special attention? A Transport Canada Road Safety study released earlier this year suggests it’s not merely the holding of a cellphone that increases driver risk. The active cognitive tasks of listen- ing and speaking on the phone is an added distraction, unlike the relatively mindless activities of smoking and drinking while driving. The move to ban cellphones — Durham MPP John O’- Toole’s private member’s bill to prevent their use while dri- ving in Ontario is currently before the legislature — is part of nearly a century of safety initiatives in automobiles. Car makers have been busy — sometimes on their own volition to increase sales, often because of government regu- lation — adding safety features to their vehicles. Whether it be bumpers, crumple zones, special safety glass, improved body materials, signal lights, high-beam lights, seat-belts, child-safety seats, air bags and on and on, car safety has in- tensified as more and more vehicles jam our congested high- ways. Seat-belt use, for years, was resisted by many who didn’t like feeling constrained while they rode in their vehicles. But the statistics show the effectiveness of seat-belt use. Between 1990 and 2000, a Transport Canada safety study has shown 11,690 fatalities were prevented on Canadian roads because of the use of seat-belts. Those are sobering statistics, impres- sive enough to make anyone buckle up. While more needs to be learned with regard to driving and cellphone use, it seems clear, that, outside of 911 calls, cell- phones should be hung up while on the move. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 18, 2002 Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Rouge Valley care second to none To the editor: I recently spent six days at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital after I had major surgery. My family and friends felt at the time I should go to a city hos- pital, saying, “they have the best doctors and facilities”. Well, if I ever have to go into a hospital again it would be my pleasure to go to the Ajax and Pickering hos- pital. I have never received care of that calibre in my 48 years. The nursing care was bar none. My gynecologist and anesthetist were knowledgeable, compas- sionate and had a wonderful bed- side manner. These are things we rarely see in big, busy hospitals. Georgia Colquhoun, Pickering Let’s hope Muslim leader playing word games To the editor: Re: ‘Muslim leader worried about 9/11 fallout,’Sept. 11. Mobeen Khaja, president of the Association of Progressive Muslims of Ontario, states “Tell me in this lifetime will we ever see a woman elected president of the United States or prime min- ister of Canada? I don’t think so.” I assume Mr. Khaja was play- ing word games when he uses ‘elected’ since Kim Campbell was not duly elected prime min- ister in 1993 when she took over from Brian Mulroney or else he is extremely ignorant of Canadi- an politics.

I work with Catherine Lofsky, a nurse practitioner at the Street Health Service Centre in down- town Oshawa. Unfortunately, due to government bureaucracy, nei- ther the Province nor the federal government is willing to fund the centre and we may be forced to close our doors. We see well over 400 people a month and save the clinics and the hospitals from further over-crowd- ing. We believe in preventing seri- ous illnesses before they start by immunizing and using pre-emp- tive measures. Without our local nurse practi- tioner, none of these services could be offered.

When he passed away in 1912 at the age of 78, he was one of the oldest residents of Audley. The hamlet of Audley grew up around the intersection of what is now known as Audley and Taunton roads. It was originally called Brown’s Corners after Abra- ham Brown, who owned the hotel and bar and was related to Thomas Brown. Close to the hotel was space for outdoor sports, of which football and horse-racing were favourites. Also nearby was a menagerie of caged wild animals kept by Brown.

The blades are made of soft rubber and are easily damaged. While wipers need to be changed regularly (every six months or so), it’s important to know the causes of streaking, smearing and chattering so you can remedy the problem and retain good visibility in all conditions. Streaking in one direction- Indicates the blades have become hard and need to be replaced. Another cause is extreme cold. It is possible to have this problem with new wiper blades, if they are the wrong length. Smearing in both directions- caused by worn, damaged or dirty wiper blades, or the wrong type of windshield washer fluid. Before replacing the blades, try to clean them, the windshield and then replace the washer fluid. Chattering- occurs when it ‘s cold and the wiper blades are frozen. The cause in warmer weather is build up of grease and grime that prevents the blade from gliding across the glass, causing it to skip. The windshield and wiper blades probably need cleaning. A bent wiper arm can also cause chatter.

Sale price ends Saturday, September 14, 2002 Video off to rolling start City production highlights pilot project Coming soon for your viewing pleasure: the City of Pickering’s ‘rolling to reduce’ video. The 15-minute film describes the initiation, promotion, and implemen- tation of a three-stream waste collec- tion pilot project in Pickering’s Am- berlea community. The program is as- sessing new ways to collect recy- clables, kitchen and yard organics, and regular garbage. Last November, when the residents of 518 homes were asked to partici- pate and evaluate this method of col- lection, it was decided to produce a step-by-step documentary in order to help other municipalities make sound decisions for their waste management strategies. Amberlea’s average diversion rate for the first three months was an im- pressive 63 per cent. With the pro- gram, one large grey cart gathers clean recyclables on one side, and small bags and loose garbage on the other. Another slightly smaller green cart collects kitchen food scraps and yard trimmings, which is delivered to Miller Waste’s centralized compost- ing facility in York Region. The Amberlea area was chosen for its variety of large and side-split homes, cultural and age mix, and the collection vehicle’s manoeuvrability on cul-de-sacs and under mature trees. Also, a Tuesday collection day was necessary to be able to partner with a similar program in Markham. Pickering councillors felt is was a good opportunity to test the system under a variety of conditions, includ- ing winter. Also, they were able to share costs with Markham, which had already completed a six-month test. With Keele Valley Landfill slated to close in 2002, a proactive approach to generating less waste was needed. Reasons for the pilot: • To divert as much as possible from landfill; • To study the response to a cart system; • To include additional recyclables and monitor how they are received; • To assess costs and be ready for the closure of Keele Valley; and • To create a quality compost from those who do not backyard compost. While Pickering’s video is being viewed at the Composting Council of Canada’s annual conference this week in Halifax, the City of Toronto is launching its green bin program to 70,000 homes across Etobicoke. Durham Region is also getting ready to implement an organics collection system in Scugog, Uxbridge, Brock, and Clarington before the end of the year. Pickering’s pilot proved people are ‘ready’ to recycle more, ‘willing’ to separate unwanted food from waste, and ‘able’ to love the system once it becomes a habit. The pilot continues until the end of December. “This is the decade to change the term waste management to resource management,” said Ward 1 Pickering Regional Councillor Maurice Bren- ner.

The need for Highway 407 through Durham was determined in the 1989 "Highway 407 Overview Study". MTO then initiated Route Planning/Environmental Assessment studies for Highway 407 and the two links. This work resulted in the identification of a recommended route; however, a decision was made to defer submission of the Environmental Assessment Reports in 1994. The environmental assessment of Highway 407 and the links has now been consolidated into a single study, which will include construction of transitway corridors. THE PROCESS This project will fulfil the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) as well as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). The study will first involve preparation of a Terms of Reference to provide a framework for the subsequent EA Study. If the Terms of Reference are approved by the Minister of Environment, the Route Location and Concept Design Individual EA will be undertaken. Reports will be prepared for public review and comment. Public involvement is crucial to the success of the Study in terms of identifying transportation needs and potential environmental impacts throughout the corridor. In order to facilitate this participation, Public Information Centres/Meetings will be held at key points in the study, the first expected in the fall of 2002. The time and locations of these will be advertised in local newspapers and on the project Web site: www.407eastea.com There is an opportunity at any time during the environmental assessment process for interested persons to provide comments and review outstanding issues. If, at the completion of the study, you feel that serious concerns remain unresolved, you have the right to request that the Minister refer the project to a hearing. COMMENTS Any comments and information regarding this project are being collected to assist the Ministry of Transportation in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the project and may be included in project documentation. Information collected will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Bake up a winner for nursesSmall business offers ‘big ideas’ Flaherty delivers new program with entrepreneurial message for students BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — What do the zipper, basketball, telephone and snowmobile have in common? Ontario natives invented them all, Jim Flaherty told a group of Grade 8 students Tuesday at Glen Dhu Public School. The Whitby-Ajax MPP and minister of enterprise, opportuni- ty and innovation was in Whitby to launch the Province’s future entrepreneurs program. Intro- duced in Grade 7 and 8 class- rooms this week, the program teaches students about entrepre- neurship and the skills required to be a small business person. “We all know about big com- panies in Durham Region...” Mr. Flaherty told students. “But lots of people work in small busi- ness... and have big ideas, and many of them are successful.” He emphasized the impor- tance of small businesses to On- tario’s economy and job growth, and said the program, optional for teachers, is designed “to give you a chance to see this option, this opportunity, this whole world of entrepreneurship”. Mr. Flaherty said there are particular skills that go hand in hand with running a small busi- ness, skills future entrepreneurs is designed to impart. The minister didn’t do all the talking in class Tuesday. First- year Durham College student Melissa McKnight joined him to tell students about the business she started this past summer. A graduate of Eastdale Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Os- hawa, she participated in a relat- ed provincial program called Summer Company, and started Relaxing Thymes. “It’s a great thing for you guys because you can start young,” Ms. McKnight told stu- dents, noting the Business Advi- sory Centre Durham is a resource they should take advantage of. “I had lots of fun doing it.” She said starting the venture required her to write a business plan, determine what market she was aiming for, and acquire other skills. In an interview, Ms. McK- night said she sells environmen- tally-friendly spa products such as candles, massage creams and bath oils. “It’s grown because I’m doing it through house parties,” she said. “I started out with my fam- ily... and people seemed to be overwhelmed with the products.” She has sold products at five house parties, has 10 more booked and counts a massage therapist as a client. “Paula Lishman was my men- tor,” said Ms. McKnight, refer- ring to the Scugog entrepreneur and internationally-renowned furrier. “We used to live down the road from her.” The future entrepreneurs teachers’guide is made up of five subtasks, starting with promoting an interest in entrepreneurs, en- trepreneurship and enterprising skills. In the culminating assess- ment, students prepare and pre- sent to their teacher, class or both a presentation, ‘Am I a prospec- tive entrepreneur?’to gauge their interest in becoming an entrepre- neur. The subtasks address Educa- tion Ministry expectations in Grade 7 and 8 language arts. The ministry says future en- trepreneurs will be available in Ontario schools until at least 2005. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Jim Flaherty, Ontario minister of enterprise, opportunity and innovation, met with students at Whit- by’s Glen Dhu Public School recently to unveil the Province’s future entrepreneurs program. The Whitby-Ajax MPP talked to Grade 7 and 8 students, including, from left, Samantha Carter, Stephen Wickens, and Chris Handscomb, about the skills required to be a small business person.

Sympatico is a trade-mark of Bell Canada. 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.

After snoozing through a 5-2 loss to the host Markham Waxers Saturday to officially open the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League’s South Conference regular season, the Panthers seemed ready to produce more sleep-inducing play in their home opener against the North Con- ference’s Aurora Tigers at the Picker- ing Recreation Complex Sunday night. But, after falling behind 5-1 after 20 minutes of play, the Panthers came all the way back and then some to hand the shocked Tigers — one of the favourites to win North Conference crown this season — an 8-6 defeat. The Panthers played their third reg- ular-season game at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium Tuesday night against the Oshawa Legionaires. The result was- n’t available at the News Advertiser’s press deadline. All signs seemed to point to anoth- er tough night Sunday for the Pan- thers. A little bit of soul-searching, however, as well as a number of ad- justments prior to taking the ice for the second period seemed to take hold. The reinvigorated squad put four consecutive goals on the scoreboard in the second and then outscored the Tigers 3-1 in the final stanza to skate off with the victory. Panthers’ head coach Jim Wilson was a surprised as anyone to see the Panthers get their act together. “It was a circus out there; it was un- believable. We made some simple ad- justments to see if we could regroup in the second period. It was like someone turned a switch on and we started to play like we had practised. In the last two periods, we played as well as we can play to this point in the season. I’m very happy that we were able to turn it around,” he said. The Tigers scored five times on Pickering goaltender Scott Gray who faced only eight shots in the frame. Gray, however, tightened up consider- ably after that, allowing only one goal on 19 shots the rest of the way. After Aurora put two quick goals on the board within the first two min- utes of play, Panthers’ Peter Franchin scored on the power play from Michael Alexiou and Dennis Colter- man. In the second frame, James Gadon, Jesse Toms, Patrick Miller and Corey Black, with a short-handed marker, were the marksmen, assisted by Ryan Taylor with two, Peter Aston, Gadon, Toms, Andrew Gilbert and Shawn Coultice. In the third, Miller and Black picked up their second goals of the night, while Colterman ended the scoring with an empty-net marker with six seconds to play. Gilbert and Aston added assists. The first period notwithstanding, the Panthers play was a marked im- provement over Saturday’s losing ef- fort, said Wilson. “We didn’t compete against Markham from the beginning to the end,” he said. “We were tentative, we were passive at other times and we didn’t adapt to the intensity of play re- quired in junior hockey.” After opening a 1-0 lead in the first period, Markham dominated the play in the second frame en route to a 4-1 lead after two. Black and Toms scored for Picker- ing. Taylor drew an assist. Rookie goaltender Michael Fini faced 54 shots. What’s clear to Wilson so far in the early going is the Panthers’overall de- fence must improve if the team is to prosper. “We can’t continue to give up the number of goals we’re giving up and be successful long term,” he said. The Panthers will play in the league’s annual College Weekend at the Erin Mills Twin Arenas in Missis- sauga. All league teams see action, with the Panthers suiting up against the Collingwood Blues of the North Conference Saturday, Sept. 21 at noon.

Telus squad searches for first win Lightning women lose 5-3 to Ice Bears DURHAM — The Telus Light- ning dropped its second exhibition game of the Na- tional Women’s Hockey League pre-season, los- ing 5-3 to the Mississauga Ice Bears at the Her- shey Centre Sun- day afternoon. So far in exhi- bition action, the Lightning have a 0-2-1 record, with their lone tie coming against the Ice Bears. Mississauga scored first early in the second pe- riod, but the Lightning had three consecutive goals before the end of the middle frame. Early in the third, the Bears scored while the Light- ning had two players in the penalty box. That gave Mississauga new life as it scored three more goals. Veteran Jessi- ca Allen scored twice and rookie Jackie Jarrell had a single marker for Telus. Jarrell has scored in each of the last two games. Re- turning goal- tender Jenn Piitz was solid in net. Kim Ko- datsky, Barb Prall, Shannon Grimbly, Kathy McCormack, Tania Pinell scored for the Bears.

Ajax school makes jump to varsity football this season; plays DO’C Thursday afternoon BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX — Football will make its debut this week at one of Ajax’s newest high schools. The Notre Dame Catholic Sec- ondary School Cougars hosts its inau- gural Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league game to- morrow (Thursday) against Ajax’s other Catholic high school — the Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers — at 1:30 p.m. With only a handful of players with previous football experience, head coach Brian Hughes noted it has proved to be challenging to get his young and green charges prepared for their first league game. “We knew we had good athletes at Notre Dame; we knew that from the outset of the year. Now we have to mould them into football players,” said Hughes who’s the former princi- pal at Notre Dame, retiring last year. The job has been a big one as only six players on the 43-player roster have previous gridiron experience. “It has forced the coaches to take a different viewpoint. When you go into a season, you can usually rely on 20 kids to have previous experience. Now, we’re dealing with more players who are at the same skill level. We’re preparing for the first game like everyone else, but we’ve had to go back to square one,” says Hughes, who’s one of several volunteers on the six-member coaching staff, along with staff member John Dulny. The Cougars had their first taste of action last Friday when they hosted Don Bosco from Toronto in an exhi- bition tilt. Although the Cougars lost 22-0, there were positive lessons taken from the game, noted Hughes. “It was a valuable experience for us. Some of the players don’t under- stand about being aggressive on the field,” he said. “They’re not experi- enced at playing against someone who’s not your friend. We made some elementary mistakes. We fumbled the ball and we took some penalties but, overall, it was a great effort.” While Hughes expects the Cougars to be competitive right from the start, he admitted it will take at least two years to get the fledgling program on a solid foundation. “We’re looking at it as a two-year project. We’re teaching them the game in the first year and we’re going to have fun in the process,” he said. “The boys who are with us in the sec- ond year in September of 2003 will be 30 boys who we don’t have to teach the game of football to.” Hughes said he’s relishing his time as a volunteer head coach. “When you’re an administrator, you don’t have time. You have time only to be a spectator and lend sup- port, but now that I’m retired, (coach- ing) allows me to keep the links to the kids.” A/P PAGE B2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 18, 2002 www.durhamregion.com The following establishment has applied to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a liquor licence under the Liquor Licence Act: Application for Additional Facilities Atria Bar & Grill 59 King Street East Oshawa (outdoor area) Any resident of the municipality may make a written submission as to whether the issuance of the licence is in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents.

Rotary fund-raiser puts $2 million on the line PICKERING — Let’s face it: $2 million will buy a lot of rounds of golf — or lots of anything for that matter. That’s the grand prize up for grabs for anyone who can sink a hole-in-one in a fund-raising event hosted by the Pickering Rotary Club at Dunbarton High School starting today (Wednesday) and continu- ing until Sunday, Sept. 22. The Two Million Dollar Hole in One event is open to golfers of all skill levels, with the exception of pro- fessionals. It’ll be staged each day from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. except, Sunday when it’s from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Co-sponsored by the Ajax-Pickering News Ad- vertiser, the event is a major fund-raiser for the Rotary Club, with proceeds to be split between Rotary International’s ‘Polio Plus’ program, which aims to eradicate polio worldwide, and for the ‘Heroes of Hope’ campaign for the Durham Region Cancer Centre. Having a golf-inspired fund-raiser, noted Tom Reed, principal at Dunbar- ton High School and a Ro- tarian, was a no-brainer with the huge numbers of golf clubs and golfers in the Durham Region area. “If you took a survey, you’ll find there’s a phe- nomenal number of clubs and golfers in Durham Re- gion,” said Reed. The club hopes to raise $8,000 for the Rotary In- ternational project. Any- thing above that amount goes to ‘Heroes of Hope’. Each day of the cam- paign, the top 10 golfers closest to the pin will re- ceive a prize and move on to the semifinals. In the semifinals slated for Sun- day, each of the 50 semifi- nalists takes three shots from 105 yards from the pin. A hole-in-one on the first shot will mean a $25,000 prize; the second shot nets $10,000 and an ace on the third shot will bring a $5,000 payday. In the final, the six fi- nalists get one shot for a hole-in-one from 150 yards for the $2-million grand prize, which will consist of $50,000 per year on a 40- year annuity. Cost is $1 per shot; players can bring their own clubs, or clubs will be pro- vided. Other major sponsors include ING, Ontario Power Generation, Maple Trust Oriana Financial, Kwik Signs and Coughlan Homes. Dunbarton High School is at 655 Sheppard Ave., two minutes north of Hwy. 401. From left, Ken Page, Tom Reed, student volunteer David Evans and Tom Sears are ready to tee it up at the Pickering Rotary Club’s Two Million Dollar Hole in One event, which gets under way at Dunbarton High School today, Wednesday, and goes until Sunday. One lucky golfer could win $2 million for a hole-in-one during Sunday’s final round. Dolphins blitz grizzly hosts on the gridiron Tykes, atoms, peewees score big football road wins DURHAM —Ajax- Pickering Dolphins’ teams roared and the North York Grizzlies retreated in minor football action in North York last weekend. Dolphins’ teams made a clean sweep of the Griz- zlies, taking all three games in Central Ontario Minor Football League (COMFL) action. The tykes posted their third consecutive shutout by blitzing the Grizzlies 33-0. The Dolphins’ defence seized control of the game early as Jordan Ali blocked a kick and recovered the ball in the end zone for a safety. Rob Sinclair and Dillon Campbell were also instrumental in the recov- ery. An early offensive drive was capped off by 10-yard touchdown run from Gian- carlo Amenta. A David Wilson touchdown, aided by a key block from Amen- ta, put the Dolphins ahead 14-0. Kyle DeBellotte and Dillon Campbell led the club defensively in the first half. In the second half, the Dolphins added three more touchdowns: one by Wil- son, who also added a con- vert, and two from Tyler Grayer on runs of 65 and 75 yards, respectively. Denver Wright kept the scoreless streak alive with a touchdown-saving tackle in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the Dol- phins’ atoms improved their COMFL record to 4-1 after a dominating 48-22 victory over the North York Grizzlies. Jermaine Goodrich paced the atoms, running for five touchdowns. Bran- don Wood caught a number of passes for big yardage, including one for a major. The defence stepped up with a solid effort, led by linebackers Sean Carter and Brett Jamieson. In peewee action, the Dolphins dumped the Griz- zlies 14-3 for their third consecutive win of the sea- son. Touchdowns were scored on the ground by Jahmoy Tyrell and through the air by Cecil Cherrie. Offensively, the boys made the big plays when necessary. Quarterbacks Jesse Andrews and David Priestman guided a bal- anced attack by gaining precious rushing yards when necessary and using the aerial attack where re- quired. Travis Thomas, Cherrie, Shawn Walker and Priestman all had pass re- ceptions. Defensively, Robert Spagnola played a strong game and recovered a fum- ble. Troy Davis was a solid performer, making a num- ber of big plays, including a key interception late in the fourth quarter. Once again the Dol- phins’ special teams play was solid and well disci- plined. The punt team, led by kicker Nick Williams, had a great day as it contin- ually hemmed the Grizzlies deep in their territory. Ajax-Pickering Dol- phins teams host the Burlington Stampeders at Kinsmen Park in Pickering this Sunday, starting with the tyke game at 9:30 a.m., the atoms at 11:30 a.m. and the peewees at 1:30 p.m. Hockey team hosts golf fund-raiser PICKERING —Mem- bers of a Pickering minor hockey team invite golfers to join them on the links for a fund-raiser next weekend. The Pickering Panthers minor atom ‘A’club, hosts its own golf tournament at the Winchester Golf Club in Brooklin on Sunday, Sept. 22. There’s a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Cost is $75, which in- cludes lunch (hamburgers and salads) and a loot bag worth $25. Sponsorship op- portunities are still available. Those interested can call 905-427-0864. A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 18, 2002 BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM ––Au- tumn Smith always knew she wanted a career in the theatre. Named for her par- ents’ favourite season, the multi-talented teacher and director says she owes it all to her community. She says her drama studies in England at the Oxford School of Drama followed by work with stars like Kathleen Turner and Jerry Hall at the Gielgud Theatre in Lon- don for productions of ‘The Graduate,’ come out of her early experiences. Currently on sabbatical while she negotiates with the Stratford Festival of Canada, the 29-year-old is back in Os- hawa ready to pass on some of her theatrical experience to a younger generation of thespi- ans. “I started dancing at the Creative Dance Workshop, taking jazz, tap and ballet, when I was five,” says the Os- hawa born and bred Smith. “When I was nine, I heard they needed singers and dancers for a production of the ‘Music Man’at the Oshawa Little The- atre. “My mentors were from OLT and from the dance class- es,” she says. “They were the ones who pushed me although, as a young person, I was also very determined. I loved it and I knew that’s what I wanted to do.” After graduating from O’Neill Collegiate’s Perform- ing Arts program in 1992, she went on to study at Oxford and has worked as a theatre direc- tor in London, England, New York State and Toronto. But it is her work with children she says she especially enjoys. “My work over the last cou- ple of years with children has been something quite magi- cal,” says Smith. She’s spent the last two summers in the Catskill mountain area of New York State working with young performers, many with television, film and Broadway experience. “One of my students was in ‘The Crucible’ on Broadway,” she says, proudly. “They’re re- ally talented kids.” Now it’s the young stars of Durham whose turn it is to shine. Beginning Sept. 23, Smith and an associate will hold drama classes in St. Mark’s United Church, Whit- by. Each Monday from 6-7:30 p.m. children ages 9-11 can join classes that run until Dec. 9. The Monday night schedule for intermediate students ages 12-15 includes sessions from 7:30-9 p.m. The classes will focus on voice and diction, stage pres- ence, monologues and scene study. Older students will have the opportunity to tackle Shakespeare. “I really want to bring something back to Oshawa,” says Smith. “Quality training gives them (children) confi- dence. They leave coming out of their shell. Some won’t talk for the first couple of weeks but by the end, they open up. Drama works miracles.” A/P PAGE B4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 18, 2002 www.durhamregion.com For advertising information, contact Rod Cooper at 905-683-5110 ext.227 or email at rcooper@durhamregion.com This feature will appear every other Wednesday.

Everyorganization has anniversaries, new productsor services, special events, future plans, etc. Yet these “happenings” are often under- played. Or worse, ignored. (Ouch!) Check-out your promotional possibilities. Then, roll-out “marketing opportunity” to build more awareness for your business. Under-budgeted. Many advertising efforts fail for the same reason that many small business do-they’re under capitalized. To successfully fire-up a major advertising event, for example, you need an adequate budget. By holding back dollars you can weaken your campaign to the point that it may never gets off theground. Or worse, it could look “flimsy,” and uninviting to the consumer.
