The Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP is urging the federal Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans to get in- volved considering the potential harm development may cause to waterways and fish habitats flow- ing through the Seaton lands into Lake Ontario. “It is time for the federal gov- ernment to assert its responsibili- ty to protect the environment where it is mandated to do so,” he said. Mr. McTeague also wants In- dian and Northern Affairs Canada to look into protecting Indian bur- ial grounds located on the Seaton lands. “There’s a real lack of transparency in what the Province is doing here,” he said.

As the convoy from the Markham Pickering Farming Community group wound its way to the Pickering Recreation Complex, motorists honked their support. Signs plastered along the sides of the giant machinery read: ‘Crombie Go Home’ and ‘Don’t Dictate to Us’. David Crombie, chairman of the North Pickering Land Ex- change and Development Panel was unfazed by the protest. “My wife would like me home too,” he joked with the more than 90 people who gath- ered at the session. The Province is exchanging provincially-owned lands in north Pickering for privately- owned lands in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge. The panel was created to recommend a set of principles to guide the valuation, exchange and subsequent devel- opment of Seaton. Mr. Crombie said the panel hopes to make its final recom- mendations before the end of October, but concerned resi- dents, the City of Pickering and the Region of Durham will have their chance for input first. Organizers had originally planned workshops for the two- day public input sessions yester- day and tonight at the recreation complex. However, at Tuesday’s session residents successfully lobbied for a Town Hall meeting format in order to get their con- cerns across. Steven Brunswick dominated much of the discussion. Repre- senting a group of farmers and homeowners in the Duffin- Rouge Agricultural Preserve just west of Seaton, he said Principle 6, which designates that area agriculture forever, was taking away his clients’ rights as landowners. “By recommending an agri- cultural preserve in perpetuity without any analysis and with- out open hearings and without consultations, that’s not being fair,” Mr. Brunswick said. He took a poke at the panel’s membership, which he pointed out includes a number of inter- ested environmental groups. While those interests should be taken into account, so should Pickering farmers fight for land Was prisoner’s escape planned in advance? Court officers furious tip not passed on to them BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Police were tipped off about possible es- cape plans hours before an ac- cused murderer bolted from the Whitby courthouse Friday, but no one alerted the unit in charge of transferring prison- ers. Despite the tip, court offi- cers were not told of the poten- tial threat and no special secu- rity measures were put in place for the appearance of first-de- gree murder accused Cosmo Jacobson, who fled at 8:40 a.m. Durham Regional Police Sergeant Paul Malik confirmed information was received from Toronto Police earlier in the morning about two men arrest- ed in possession of a gun and a hand-drawn diagram of the Whitby courthouse, at 605 Rossland Rd. Hours later, Mr. Jacobson, who was chained at the time to another first-degree murder ac- cused, managed to slip out of handcuffs and leg irons and es- cape just as the police wagon arrived at the rear of the court- house. Police officials won’t say how he pulled off the escape. However, sources con- firmed two safety pins were found in the rear of the wagon and were used to unlock the re- straints. Mr. Jacobson was being es- corted by two special consta- bles, unarmed personnel with the court services unit who aren’t police officers. More than 100 officers took part in a massive search and Mr. Jacobson, who was to ap- pear in court on home invasion charges, was captured eight hours later after a resident saw him hiding under a deck on Lismer Drive, two blocks away. Chief Kevin McAlpine said police are still probing the se- curity breach. He confirmed the investigation is looking into whether the two men arrested earlier in Toronto, under what he called “suspicious” circum- stances, had any role. “It’s possible this was planned and that he was wait- ing for a ride,” said Sgt. Malik, spokesman for the force. One of the arrested men was released this month from Whit- by jail after serving time for weapons offences and escaping custody during a court appear- ance in Oshawa last year. News Advertiser file photo Cosmo Jacobson, who escaped police custody last Friday morning, is seen here leaving a police van in handcuffs and leg shackles during a May, 2002 court appearance. Parks, volleyball courts among additions coming to city’s waterfront BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —New parks, new boats, and new town- houses — all signs point to a whole new look for the City of Pickering’s waterfront starting next year. Regional councillors Mau- rice Brenner and Mark Holland held court last week in council chambers explaining to a group of more than 150 residents what is on the horizon for Pickering’s lakeshore. “We want to make sure it’s your waterfront and it’s yours to enjoy,” said Coun. Holland. “We want to see our waterfront take shape. It will be a place for everybody, a place for all of us.” Several City-initiated pro- jects will begin to take shape this winter and should be ready for public enjoyment by the spring or summer of 2003.MAURICE BRENNER Wants City to do some work over winter months. Two Pickering homes among those in sweep DURHAM —Four more marijuana grow houses have been shut down, bringing the number raided this year by Durham Regional Police to 93. Drug enforcement unit (DEU) officers seized 1,666 plants and for the first time, child pornography was found in one of the locations, according to police. Police report the drugs had an estimated street value of $763,000, while sophisticated growing equipment was valued at $142,000. Homes raided were on Holmes Crescent and Wilce Drive in Ajax, and Strathmore Crescent and Lightfoot Place in Pickering. Police allege the child pornography was found in a computer at a home on Strath- more. In the same home, 328 plants worth approximately $220,000 were seized.

Coun. Brenner said the City hopes to move forward on the projects through the winter to reduce the environmental impact of the work. The residential component on the east shore is quickly moving forward as well. Coun. Holland said the Captain’s Walk development on the east side of the south end of Liverpool has gone through site plan approvals and develop- ers have conformed to the City’s Great Lakes nautical village guidelines. The guidelines include wider sidewalks, spe- cial street lighting, street furniture and housing, all with a nautical village theme. In an interview outside the meeting, Captain’s Walk developer Gary Peck said he hopes to have building permits sometime in October for the first of the 17 townhomes with commercial ground floors, and the first residents should take possession in April 2003. The Ontario Municipal Board ap- proved the Pickering Harbour Compa- ny’s plan for 66 townhouses on the west side of Liverpool this summer and al- though it was not what councillors had envisioned, Coun. Holland said they would live with it. “It is a reality whether we like it or not,” he said. “We just hope they keep it a public space so people don’t feel like they’re treading on someone’s front yard when they go down there.” In an interview, harbour company president Harold Hough said they would also conform to the nautical village guidelines when presenting site plans to the City later this year.

And we want Principle 6 deleted,”he said. Mike Whittamore, the owner of a pick-your-own farm on the preserve, said the Province expropriated his fam- ily’s lands in 1972 but purchased them back through a tenant purchase pro- gram with Ontario in 1998. “I don’t want to be enslaved to pro- duce food, the cheapest food in the world by the way, in perpetuity,”he added. Mr. Crombie defended Principle 6, adding the panel’s recommendation merely reflects the area is currently designated an agricultural preserve in both the Pickering and Durham official plans and provincial policy. Panel member professor James McKellar argued Principle 6 doesn’t take away the rights of landowners in the preserve because the 1998 tenant purchase agreement clearly stated any property switching hands would be used only for agricultural purposes in perpetuity. “The panel simply underscored the present situation,”he said.

I live with my husband John. I am a homemaker and mother of four. I volunteer as a foster mother for newborn babies. I lost a remarkable 71 pounds in eight short months without dieting. I went from a chubby size 20 to a trim size 10! This is my true-life account of genuine, lasting weight loss success. I had read the hypnosis’ ads for months. Frankly, I was skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. Then I saw a special report on the News. It featured folks who had quit smoking and dropped weight with hypnosis. One lady said she lost over 90 lbs. She said hypnosis made it simple. That got my attention. I honestly didn’t think the people in the ads were real until I saw it on the 11:00 News. Now it’s happened to me and I have my own true story to tell. Immediate Results I was nervous when I called for the appointment. I didn’t want to be pressured. The free hypnotic screening was a wonderful surprise. My consultant was genuinely interested in me. The high- pressure sales pitch never happened. She explained hypnosis in a relaxed, entertaining way. She went over the guarantee. I was impressed. If I couldn’t be hypnotized, I would get a full refund. I had nothing to lose except a lot of fat. I signed up. My new eating habits started immediately after my first session. My hunger pangs disappeared. My taste for soda pop vanished. I found myself craving healthy foods. Fruits and vegetables tasted different. It was like my taste buds came alive. One day I was walking through the grocery store. I marched right past the bakery, candy, chips and soda without a glance. That’s when I was convinced. Hypnosis had completely changed my taste. Doctor’s Delight! My last visit to my doctor was a thrill! My doctor nodded his head with delight. He confirmed my 71-pound weight loss. For the first time in my life my blood work and cholesterol are normal without pills! I feel fantastic. No more aches and pains. No more cravings or binges. Best of all, hypnosis eliminated dieting for good! Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effortless. I know I will never gain the weight back. All the changes are permanent. I have a whole different way of thinking about what I put into my body. I never feel deprived. Self-Confidence Soars! When I was overweight I was extremely withdrawn. Some days I hardly spoke a word. I thought everyone was judging me. My self-worth was zero. When the weight came off I felt better about myself. Hypnosis helped me relax. I gained a feeling of inner peace. I knew I was back in control of my life. My entire family has changed thanks to hypnosis. My son lost 22 pounds. My 83-year-old mother lost 18 pounds. We’re saving money on our food bill every week. What a bonus! Twenty Years Younger I thought I’d never wear a bathing suit again. On the 4th of July I gazed at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a sexy black and purple one-piece suit. I loved what I saw! I wore it that day and many days since. The best day of my life was spent filling two giant boxes with fat clothes I’ll never wear again. People say I look twenty years younger. They wonder why I’m always smiling. I have tons of energy. I’m light on my feet. I have a social life! I owe it all to the power of hypnosis. Invaluable! My results at using hypnosis are invaluable to me. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. I believe in hypnosis. I’m certain you’ll be as thrilled as I am. I know because I’ve met lots of other folks who are getting results like mine. They’ve shed 50, 60, even 90 pounds with ease. Call Now and Schedule your hypnotic screening. It’s absolutely free and there’s no obligation. Ask about their no-risk guarantee. You’ll be glad you did. If your evaluator doesn’t think hypnosis is for you, she’ll tell you so. I know how much it hurts to be overweight. I’ve been there. If you have a weight problem, don’t put it off. You’ll probably just gain more weight. Do what I did. Call 905-686-7717.

Durham child-care advocates disappointed with throne speech BY JANE McDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM ––In the mo- ments leading up to Monday’s throne speech, Denise Gilbert was hoping against hope to hear the words she’s longed to hear for 20 years: the federal government providing the nec- essary funding for regulated, universal child care. “I hope ‘child care’ is what we hear, not only (in the con- text of) child poverty, but reg- ulated child care,” said the ex- ecutive director of School- house Daycare Centres and chairman of the Durham Re- gion Child Care Forum Advo- cacy Committee. “Last year the poor re- ceived money for child care but it was used in a variety of ways, not necessarily for child care. We keep hoping to hear something for universal child care,” added Ms. Gilbert. “We would like to see something more than lip service ... We’ve been waiting for a national child care program. We’re still waiting when other nations are moving forward. We’re stand- ing still in Durham communi- ties. We live in one of the fastest growing areas (of the country) but in the last six years (day care) funding has decreased.” Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson mentioned child care briefly in the Speech from the Throne, in the context of poverty. “The government ... will again significantly increase the National Child Benefit for poor families, and will work with its partners to increase access to early learning oppor- tunities and to quality child care, particularly for poor and one-parent families.” Tricia Darrah of Ajax has two children, ages 8 and 3, in day care. Both she and her husband work in downtown Toronto and she commutes by GO train. “Door to door, it’s at least an hour from the house to the day care,” says Mrs. Darrah. After dropping her children off at the centre between 7 and 7:30 a.m., she then parks in the commuter parking lot and “runs like hell for the GO train.” Mrs. Darrah considers her- self lucky. Her family’s sched- ule allows her and her husband to alternate dropping of the children or picking them up at 4:30 p.m. She is also grateful for the quality of care she says she knows her children re- ceive. Some children spend as many as 12 hours each work- day in child care and there is an extensive waiting list for in- fants and preschoolers in the regulated daycare centres run by Ms. Gilbert. “I was think- ing of moving from Ajax to Whitby and I wanted my kids to stay with Schoolhouse,” added Mrs. Darrah. “I trust them. I know them. But in Whitby when I asked if there was a before- and after-school program at Captain Mike’s (Captain Michael VandenBos Public School) I was told there was a wait list twice the size of the number of kids (already there).” “I think it’s fair to say we only heard about children in poverty,” said Ms. Gilbert fol- lowing the Governor General’s throne speech. “I think it’s safe to say we’re pretty disap- pointed. Child care has been associated only with welfare and that doesn’t necessarily fit. There are (middle-class) families who need access to affordable child care. “The government should provide more for what’s al- ready in place,” she added. “They just started up another pot (of money).” ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Child-care advocates (from left) Tricia Darrah, Tammy Uithoven, Denise Gilbert, Debbie Lamb and Ruth Patterson watch closely during the Throne Speech in Ottawa Monday. Ajax hospital likes what it hears AJAX —Monday’s fed- eral throne speech was met with optimism here in Ajax and Pickering. Hume Martin, chief ex- ecutive officer of the Rouge Valley Health System, which has sites in Ajax and Scarborough, found hope in Ottawa’s promises to boost health funding. “We are very pleased with the federal govern- ment’s indication there will be more money for the health-care system,” he said. “Hospitals across the coun- try are facing significant deficits and pressures and clearly additional funding is needed to continue to serve our patients. “Our hope is the new fed- eral health spending will flow sooner rather than later.” Recently, Ottawa has ex- pressed a growing interest in investing in electronic health information, a technology widely available in other in- dustries, he said. But Canada is falling be- hind when it comes to man- aging patient information through technology, Mr. Martin said, adding this month’s Kirby report from the Senate committee for so- cial affairs, science and tech- nology, and the upcoming Romanow report will both have to address the issue. “At Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering this will mean we will have the ability to transfer electronic patient information between our two hospitals, physicians’ offices and patients them- selves,” he said. Meanwhile, municipali- ties are playing wait and see. Mayor Steve Parish said it was an accomplishment just having municipalities mentioned in the speech. “It’s a realization they’re going to ratify Kyoto Ac- cord,” he said. To meet the Kyoto goals, the government is going to have to start funding public transit in order to get vehi- cles off the roads and reduce gridlock, he said. “It’s a signal they might give funds or revenue to mu- nicipalities,” he said. “It might be an indication they’ll share the gas tax. We’ll have to wait to see the budget, to see how much money they have and how they’ll spend it. We’ll have to wait to see the whites of their eyes.” Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs said he had yet to see any concrete informa- tion from the throne speech. Federal throne speeches usually have less of an im- pact on municipalities than those delivered by the Province, he said. Still, the mayor was en- couraged by the promise of a long-term infrastructure program between the federal government, provinces and municipalities. An ongoing revenue stream will give municipali- ties the ability to make long- term plans and goals, he said. Mayor Arthurs agreed there is a possibility those plans could change with new leadership in Ottawa. But the mayor said, “from all indications”, Paul Martin will succeed Prime Minister Jean Chretien. “I suppose that risk is there, but Martin has proven himself to be very proactive with municipalities,” he said.

Police raid marijuana grow homes in Ajax and Pickering Hearts of many prompt women to run for cure Annual fund-raiser goes this Sunday in Durham BY JEREMY LE PAGE Staff Writer DURHAM ––Each cloth heart Lorraine Young sews onto her specially made Run for the Cure T- shirt bears the name of a person who has been af- flicted with cancer. It is these people, she says, who fuel her desire to make a difference. The 11th annual CIBC Run for the Cure, with par- ticipation from communi- ties across Canada, raises money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). Last year, Mrs. Young collected $1,703 in pledges for her participa- tion in the five-kilometre event. This year, she says, she hopes to double that amount. So far, she has generat- ed about $1,000. “I am walking with pride, for a cure... In hon- our of all our loved ones,” she says, adding her health allows her to “do this for women who can’t.” Mrs. Young walks about 10 kilometres every other day. Being able to use her exercise to do good for others, she suggests, is an amazing opportunity. “I found my passion for walking,” she explains. “(And) I found my cause.” Although she says she loves the challenge of the event, Mrs. Young insists, “It’s not about me... It’s about the women who are going to struggle to do the five kilometres after being given a clean bill of health.” She says although the disease’s impact on women is devastating, it really is possible to make a difference. “We had an unbeliev- able turnout last year,” she says about the run. “We’re building. I’m so excited.” And a difference is being made. Last year, more than 115,000 people in Canada participated in the run and raised more than $11.2 million for breast cancer research, education, diag- nosis and treatment. More than 2,000 runners and walkers took part in Durham Region. But more help is need- ed. About 20,500 Canadian women will develop breast cancer in 2002, and 5,400 will die from the disease. One in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer, and one in 27 will die from it. “I’ve seen them do the radiation and chemo,” Mrs. Young says, explaining how a close friend recently died of the disease. The women’s name is printed on one of the many hearts attached to Mrs. Young’s T-shirt. “I don’t want a lot of hearts,” Mrs. Young adds. But there are many. And when Mrs. Young participates at an upcom- ing 42-kilometre marathon, she is going to carry her experience at the run, along with the cloth hearts from her CIBC Run shirt with her. The event starts in Buffalo and ends at the Peace Bridge at the border of Canada and the U.S. “I’m going to take those hearts with me,” she says, explaining how walking to help women fight breast cancer has become a “niche” in her life. The CIBC Run for the Cure will take place Sun- day, Oct. 6, at Durham College on Simcoe Street at 10 a.m. Both a five- and one- kilometre route will be available. For more information, visit www.cbcf.org, call 905-571-3486, or drop by any CIBC branch. POLICE from page A1 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —When Whit- by students were kept in their schools all day Friday as police scoured the town for an accused murderer it set somewhat of a precedent. School board officials could- n’t cite a previous case where every school in a Durham mu- nicipality was locked up for a day. All told, the decision af- fected more than 22,000 public and Catholic school pupils in elementary and secondary facil- ities. “If there was one, it’s not in my memory,” said Grant An- drews, education director of the Durham Catholic District School Board. He said the time gap be- tween when the board first heard of the escape and when police called was under one hour. “We’d appreciate immediate notification from the police,” said Mr. Andrews, adding, “I can understand why some things might have taken priority in terms of their action.” Sergeant Paul Malik, Durham Regional Police spokesman, acknowledged there was an “error or a mis- take” made, since the public board was notified within the first half-hour of the escape. At the Durham District School Board, Whitby schools superintendent Don McLean said the board followed the ad- vice of police to lock down area schools. He recalled cases in the past where a school or even a number of schools were sealed tight, but never those in an entire municipality. Mr. McLean said he was “pleased with how our schools handled it,” agreeing principals deserve a lot of the credit. Principals had a challenge on their hands in that thousands of students who normally go home at lunch time were caught off-guard. In many cases the solution was to order pizza. At the Dundas Street east Pizza Hut outlet, assistant man- ager Angie Williams said a call came in from Dr. R. Thornton Public School. “They ordered, like, 24 New Yorkers,” she said, noting it’s the largest pizza, cut into 12 slices. Mitch LePage, the Catholic board’s Whitby schools super- intendent, said central adminis- tration will pay Friday’s pizza bills so the money doesn’t come out of individual school bud- gets. Grant Yeo, the public board’s education director, also said schools wouldn’t be left in the lurch. “We won’t have the schools out the money, the kids needed to be fed,” he said. Meanwhile, the failure to pass on the Toronto tip has sparked an internal uproar among court services officers, who are calling it a communica- tions lapse that could have cost lives. “These guys had a gun and diagram of the back of 605 - and one guy had escaped from Os- hawa court last year. This was no coincidence,” said one officer. Sgt. Malik said the informa- tion from Toronto was sketchy, did not indicate a specific escape plan and was forwarded to detec- tives to be investigated that day. Court officers speaking on condition they not be identified said they are “furious” they weren’t told of the arrests. “Our boss was only being told about (the arrests) during a conference call Friday morning - at the same time the escape went down,” said another constable. “This was crucial information that wasn’t passed on. We could’ve had two officers walk- ing into a shootout, meanwhile our guys had the information since 4 a.m.. It’s disgusting. We could’ve had two guys killed,” said the officer. Had the unit known of the ar- rests, Durham’s tactical support unit would have been called out to assist with the prisoner trans- fer as a precaution, he said. Unlike other court facilities in Durham and Greater Toronto, Whitby does not have a secure compound to unload prisoners, who are led from the parking lot to a rear door, through a public hallway and into basement hold- ing cells. “We would have looked at who’s in court. There were only two prisoners going to Whitby that morning, and both are on first-degree murder charges,” said one of the officers. Even with vague details, he said the appearance of a murder-accused in Whitby would’ve raised red flags, given the facility’s security deficiencies. “We would’ve called for the heavy artillery (tactical unit). If you’re going to make a break, 605 (Rossland) is the place. At 242 (King St. E.) you have a garage and at 850 (King St. W.) you’ve got a cage. “At 605 prisoners walk in the open in the parking lot,” said the court officer. “If I was a resident of Whitby, I’d be screaming. There is ab- solutely no protection at all.” Who knew what and when will form part of an internal po- lice probe into the escape, said Chief McAlpine, who has or- dered an immediate increase in court security for high-risk pris- oners, including use of addition- al body restraints. Chief McAlpine has also or- dered an “extensive audit” of prisoner transportation proce- dures, to be overseen by Deputy Chief Rod Piukkala. He said “hindsight is easy” and wouldn’t speculate “whether or not specific information should have or would have trig- gered” beefed-up security Fri- day. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 2, 2002 PAGE A5 A/P NWestney Rd S.HarwoodAv N.

Schools lauded for actions during escape Other escapes: • 2002 - Cosmo Jacobson, accused of first-degree mur- der in the shooting death of a key Crown witness in a home invasion case, escaped by unlocking his handcuffs and leg shackles with a safety pin while being taken to Whitby courthouse at 605 Rossland Rd. He darted through a field and was captured eight hours later. • 2001 - Hasson Berrington Wilson, 33, described as ex- tremely dangerous, broke loose from handcuffs and leg shackles and escaped from 850 King St.W. while being led to a holding cell during an appearance on weapons charges. Mr.Wilson, who has a violent past and escaped custody in 1986, was cap- tured several hours later hid- ing behind a home a block away. • 1999 - Three prisoners made an ill-fated escape at- tempt while being led into court at 850 King St.W. in Os- hawa.They managed to slip out of leg shackles during the ride and bolted from court se- curity officers while being un- loaded from the prisoner van. The handcuffed trio’s dash for freedom ended when they got themselves tangled around a pole. • 1997 - Manchester resident James Wells was appearing at 242 King St. E. court on robbery charges when he punched a court officer and bolted out of the rear parking lot. He was caught a short time later.

For more information about either, please call Brenda Kriz at 905-619-2529 ext. 343. I was driving to work the other day and I passed by the most unusual thing; a hitchhiker. Not your usual, run-of-the-mill, tattooed, snap-your-neck-with- one-hand, don’t-look-me-in-the- eye drifter type either. This was a senior citizen. There he was, nattily dressed in a smart brown cardigan, khaki slacks and tweed cap, with his thumb stuck out. As I sped by, leaving him choking in a cloud of dust and gravel, I had to won- der what his story was. How did this sweet-looking old gentleman end up trying to bum a ride at the side of the highway? Where did he want to go? What was he run- ning from? And, perhaps most puzzling of all, why did he have to hitchhike? It occurred to me, as I mulled this conundrum over, that the old fellow was standing not a hun- dred yards down the road from the entrance to a seniors retire- ment home/gulag. Was he mak- ing a break for it? Now, my mind really began to spin. Was he some kind of octo- genarian Serpico with a diaper full of damning microfilm? I mean the kind of stuff that could bring down a corrupt seniors’ home. Grainy, black and white pho- tos taken with a hidden catheter- cam of bullying, on-the-take at- tendants greedily inhaling the pudding that should’ve gone to the bed-ridden souls on the fourth floor. Or maybe he was a rebel who had pushed a despotic adminis- trator too far. Could he possibly be Frank Van der Hoort, the pain- in-the-ass maverick brains be- hind the big Bingo Hall Riots of ‘98, the same riots that got new shuffleboard equipment into the places where it could make a dif- ference? Or was he perhaps the legend whose name was whispered in hushed fearful tones around re- tirement home boardroom ta- bles? The man they called simply, the Silver Shadow, whose 13- month-long campaign of terror and prune juice finally ended with a ‘60 Minutes’ expose on tainted tapioca? A man like that makes a lot of powerful enemies I thought, the kind of people who could make a senior’s life pretty darn miserable. Had this misunderstood, un- sung hero, only moments before, gently kissed the brow of his longtime companion as she slumped, snoozing in front of a jumbo watercolour jigsaw puz- zle, and then silently slipped out the kitchen exit? I could just imagine it. Although it almost broke his electrically regulated heart in two, he’d left her. After 50 years together. He knew though, that this was the way it had to be. The government goons would come looking for him soon. And they wouldn’t limit their denture- hiding, cane-bending, strong-arm tactics to him. They’d come after her too and her beloved needle- point. No, he’d think, wiping away a single tear and buttoning his cardigan against a bitter fall wind, it was better this way. If only I’d pulled over, I thought, slamming my fist against the dashboard. I could’ve helped. I could just see him unburden- ing himself of all of his dark se- crets as the two of us shared a coffee and a bran muffin some- where. Maybe I could’ve gotten word back somehow to that confused and lonely old beauty who still sits and waits for her only love to come back and help her finish the puzzle. Stranger’s circumstance a puzzle Just why was that mysterious man so desperate to flee?

Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) officers had egg on their faces Friday when Cosmo Jacobson, charged with first-degree murder, escaped custody and hid in a Whitby residential area for eight hours before being caught. The 27-year-old prisoner used safety pins to slip out of his leg and hand shackles and vaulted out the back door of the transport vehicle in which he was being taken to court. One shudders to think what might have happened had he been confronted by a homeowner or anybody else dur- ing his flight. This was a ‘dangerous’, frightened, des- perate man who could conceivably have done anything to remain free. Police said while he was on the lam they be- lieved Mr. Jacobson was armed. Meanwhile, the entire community of Whitby was in a panic. Schools were locked down, parents concerned about the safety of their children. Neighbourhoods near the courthouse were on edge, uncertain about when or where Mr. Jacobson might turn up. Many questions arise as a result of Friday’s fiasco, which is only the latest in a number of escapes that have plagued the DRPS over the last few years. Why wasn’t a tip about a Friday morning arrest in Toronto of two armed men who had a diagram of the Whitby courthouse, passed along to court security offi- cers? The pair were caught several hours before Mr. Ja- cobson’s actual escape. The DRPS must come up with a better, safer way to transport prisoners. Each year, after Chief Kevin McAlpine has made his case to the police services board, Durham council hands over millions more to the DRPS. Couldn’t some of that cash go into a more secure prison- er transport service? Surely an armed police officer should be sitting among ‘high-risk’ prisoners as they make the journey from cell to courthouse. With an officer right there in close proximity eyeing a small group of prisoners at all times, there wouldn’t be a chance for an escape. Perhaps ‘dangerous’ prisoners need to be shackled more securely, or handled separately in a police car in- stead of in a wagon with other prisoners. As local police officials have pointed out, the current system is not ideal. The Whitby courthouse has no interior secure area into which a van or car can be driven where prisoners would not be able to break from. Chief McAlpine has de- manded an enclosure be built at the Rossland Road facil- ity. In the meantime, police must make immediate changes to ensure no more courthouse breakouts happen. They were lucky... this time. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 2, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Police chief’s position remains under fire To the editor: Re: ‘Durham police chief ques- tions basis for senate pot report,’ Sept. 8. I am upset with police, who oppose rational drug law reform. Opposing cannabis law reform is akin to stating, we should contin- ue caging humans for using a plant, which is dysfunctional. The police and prison agencies stand the most to lose, since they justify much of their funding upon the persecution of a plant, which is the focus in the war on some drugs. Shame on them, for they imply that they don’t make the laws, they just enforce them, and imply that if you don’t like the laws, change them. While police are in favour of caging hu- mans for using a plant, I request North American citizens resist that farce. Stan White Dillon, CO. ••• Truth to tell, the drug-warrior politicians, officials, media and civilians ‘secretly’ don’t list vic- tory as an objective in their ex- pensive and oppressive trillion- dollar war. When they do spout their “zero tolerance/total victo- ry” rhetoric, how many of your readers actually believe them? How many actually believe that this year’s multi-billion dollar drug war budget will be the one that will achieve total victory after decades of billion-dollar budgets have totally failed? Just remember the drug czars’ and warriors’jobs depend on the per- petual prosecution of, but never a victory in, the drug war. Myron Von Hollingsworth Fort Worth, Texas ••• The ‘just say no’ moralizing crusade of Nancy Reagan has about run its course even if Chief Kevin McAlpine is still singing its virtues. “Moderation in all things” is the timeless Shakespearian advice the Senate expounds. Sober sec- ond thought indeed. Not to men- tion a great big thank you to the Senate for recommending 16 as the age threshold. Waiting until teens are old enough to leave home is the stu- pidest way to introduce them to all the temptations vice has to offer. Do you really want your kid to get his moral lessons on the evils of overindulgence from his peers? I want first crack at my kid when they get drunk for the first time, I want first crack when they have the first smoke and I want to be the first one teaching them about the evils of whatever plea- sure drugs. In other words, how will our children learn responsibility if we don’t allow them to make a mis- take or two when they are at home? Chris Buors Winnipeg, Man. It’s a myth, speed doesn’t kill To the editor: Re: ‘Blitz uncover troubling Durham traffic statistics,’editorial, Sept. 25. The editorial seems covered in gloom and doom about the lawless- ness on Durham’s highways. Un- fortunately, the facts will have to intercede. I’ll bet most of the speeding violators were probably going around 20 km/h over the limit when caught. This despite re- search that shows speed does not and never has killed, despite the myths the insurance and police lobby groups continue to spread. Ontario road safety studies show consistently the top three causes of accidents are: following too close, failure to yield right of way, and loss of control. Over the years, speeding has remained steady or declined even though the accident rate has increased. I wonder why, after all those tickets were issued, only 62 were for offences other than speeding. Yet, all we hear is how terrible we drivers are. How can this contradic- tion be explained? The editorial should have been more factual than sensational.

Reporters and photographers got the first glimpse of the 2004 Grand Prix at the Oshawa plant, several hours before the mid-sized performance sedan was put on display at the Texas State Fair. Production on the sleek, sporty, wide-track vehicle will begin in Febru- ary and the first models will be in the dealers’ showrooms in the spring of 2003. Simon Boag, new plant manager at the Oshawa car assembly plant, said the No. 2 plant and the Grand Prix are a good match. “GM’s Oshawa car assembly plant is setting the standard for quality in this in- dustry,” he said. “With achievements like this and Pontiac’s performance her- itage, the new Grand Prix is destined for success.” Peter Bannon, director of vehicle marketing, said the next generation Grand Prix improves on the current model. “We’ve taken North America’s favourite mid-size performance sedan and raised the bar,” he said. “Grand Prix has always been a break-through car for Pontiac. The ‘97 Grand Prix broke the mold by bringing coupe styling to the sedan market,and by setting new bench- marks in handling with its Wide Track system. With its muscular styling and emphasis on total performance, the 2004 Grand Prix is an ideal choice for those who are truly passionate about dri- ving. “We know Grand Prix has a large and loyal following, so we took what people loved about it and concentrated on making it better inside, outside and under the skin.” Improvements include rear passen- ger doors that open fully to 82 degrees, compared to the previous 67 degrees, which makes loading bulky items, such as large boxes and child seats, easier. There is also a six-inch lower trunk overhang, allowing for easier insertion of items, a 10-inch wider trunk and fold- ing rear and front passenger seats, for improved storage. In fact, journalists watched as a nine-foot kayak was put into the car and the trunk was securely closed. “This vehicle really will have some of the adaptability found in a sports util- ity vehicle,” Mr. Bannon said. The Grand Prix will come in two models: the base, with a V6, a 200 horsepower engine, and the GTP with 250 horsepower, 10 more than the cur- rent top model. There are also improve- ments to brakes, suspension and steer- ing. The top model also comes with a competition group package that in- cludes touch-activated power shifting, such as those found on Formula One cars. The Comp G packager delivers .83 lateral G’s, Mr. Bannon said. The 2004 model Grand Prix was put on display for media last week at Durham’s GM Canada autoplex to an- nounce local production of the popular car.

Here, Hedore Gionet concentrates on the task at hand. Hospice helper with heart Hugh Carmichael joins select group of volunteers BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —Those who know him call Hugh Carmichael a ‘take- charge kind of guy’, but it’s an image he’s quick to shrug off. “I’m a pain in the patoot,” he said. “I don’t often play well with others. I go ahead and do what I want any- way.” But Cheryl MacLeod, executive director of Hospice Durham, said the 57-year-old Pickering resident gets things done, and that’s one of the rea- sons why her organization recently nominated him to be inducted into the June Callwood Hospice Circle of Outstanding Volunteers. He and 40 other hospice volun- teers from across Ontario received a medallion and certificate of distinc- tion at the Hospice Association of Ontario’s annual meeting Sept. 13. Each hospice nominates one person. “Hugh is very enthusiastic about the cause and has an appreciation of our clients and how we serve them. He really understands what we are doing,” she said. In his three years with Hospice Durham, Mr. Carmichael served as board treasurer and now heads up the organization’s finance committee. He said he learned about the importance of home support through terminal ill- ness after watching his own 90-year- old cousin deal with debilitating de- mentia. “She was in the position to be able to afford 24-hour care but it high- lights the difficulty people run into if they can’t afford that kind of care,” he said. “Her big fear was: Can I stay here?” It’s a message colleagues say Mr. Carmichael gets across so poignantly, whether it’s to potential donors through the hospice’s direct mailing campaign, or to government officials in trying to lobby for more funding. “His letters are hard to ignore,” said Ms. MacLeod, who often asks the former banker and consultant to edit her writing. “He’s brutally honest too.” Hospice Durham is about halfway toward its $70,000 fund-raising goal this year thanks to bingo proceeds, a direct mailing campaign and the an- nual Heart for Heart Walk Run. At the June 9 walk, Mr. Carmichael did everything from sell- ing raffle tickets to picking up dona- tions from local businesses. He plans to introduce a local call- ing program asking for donations from area businesses in the future. Fund-raising is key to covering core costs at Hospice Durham, which receives only $72,000 each year from the Province when it needs $283,000 to run its offices, said Ms. MacLeod. HUGH CARMICHAEL Described as being ‘very enthusiastic about the cause and has an appreciation of our clients.’ Community Care drivers urgently needed to aid seniors DURHAM —Drivers are needed in Ajax and Pickering to take seniors and disabled adults to medical ap- pointments. Ajax-Pickering Community Care is putting out a call for volunteers who can spare one day a week for approxi- mately one to three hours. When the agency doesn’t have enough drivers, someone is bound to miss an important medical appoint- ment, noted administrator Heather Tim. For more information, contact Ms. Tim at 905-686-3331. PICKERING —Visiting the cemetery is fun this Saturday.

More than 1,000 students, friends, ath- letes, teachers and family at- tended the funeral at St. Isaac Jogues Church last Thursday, Sept. 26. His death was more shock- ing as Mr. English was the pic- ture of health. In fact, he and his wife of one year, Darra, had run a marathon earlier this summer. He was training to participate in a half-marathon in Toronto this month at the time of his death and had already registered to run the Toronto marathon. A group of friends have decided to take his bib number and run the marathon in his memory, re- ports his father, Jack. A graduate and star athlete at St. Mary, Mr. English did his practical teaching stint at the school and later taught at his alma mater before transferring three years ago to Stayner Col- legiate Institute, where he taught science and geography. He and his wife, a teacher at nearby Warminster elementary school, made their home in Elmvale. Mr. English attended St. Mary from 1989 to 1994. Dur- ing this time he excelled acade- mically and as an athlete. He was particularly strong in cross- country running, hockey, base- ball and track and field and won several team MVP awards and was recognized as athlete of the year in 1991, 1992 and 1994. He continued to excel at cross-country while attending Laurentian University in Sud- bury where he met his wife-to- be, also a member of the uni- versity’s cross-country team. After completing teachers’ col- lege at Nippissing University in North Bay, he returned to St. Mary to practise teach and later became a full-fledged teacher and coach. Mr. English was heavily in- volved in hockey as an official. A Level 4 referee, he was the supervisor of officials within the Ontario Minor Hockey As- sociation for the Pickering area for six months before moving to Elmvale to fulfil the same role. His father reports 300 OMHA referee crests have been ordered and will have his son’s initials and referee number on them. They’ll be distributed to officials in the Pickering and Barrie area. Pat Roach, a former teacher, coach and colleague at St. Mary, has nothing but fond memories of English. “Brian was every parents’ dream child. He gave nothing but his best, in every capacity that I was associated with him. He could light up a room with his smile and despite all his tal- ents; he remained humble and respectful of his peers, teachers and colleagues. He certainly ex- emplified our school motto, which is to love and to serve. “Brian, despite chaos in the sports programs due to political unrest, will be remembered es- pecially by a girls’ soccer team at St. Mary he helped coach to a bronze medal at OFSAA. Many of those young ladies and countless others waited up to an hour-and-a-half to pay their re- spects to Brian and family dur- ing visitations last Wednesday evening. The sheer numbers in- dicate the profound effect Brian had on so many. He insisted on giving back to the students and he did so in many ways, but es- pecially as a coach of cross- country, soccer, track and field.” The death of the popular teacher and coach, who was preparing to launch a girls’ hockey program at the Stayner school this year, has hit hard the teachers and students there. “If there was a role model for kids, Brian was it,” said principal Jean Hargreaves. Stayner has a scholarship fund planned in his memory. He is survived by his wife, parents Jack and Cathy, younger sisters Jennifer, Sarah and Katie, and nephews Leighton and Caleb. — With files from Torstar News Service Brian English, pictured here with his wife, Darra, will be honoured with an award in his memory at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School where he was a former student, teacher and coach. English died of an apparent heart attack while refereeing a minor hockey game in Elmvale. More than 1,000 students, teachers and family members paid their respects recently to a man who “gave nothing but his best”. Points slip through Panthers’ fingers Late-game breakdowns result in loss, tie during weekend action BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —The in- ability to tighten the noose on an opponent proved costly to the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers on the weekend. A lone tie was all the Pan- thers had to show for a three- game weekend where two wins were well within their grasp. On both occasions, rookie mistakes and late-game lapses allowed potential wins to slip away. The Panthers dropped a 4-3 contest to the Wexford Raiders in Scarborough Sunday night after leading 3-2 late in the third period. Saturday night in Thornhill, the Panthers had to settle for a 3-3 draw. Pickering held a 3-2 lead with just over a minute to go when some sustained pres- sure by the Rattlers yielded the equalizer. Starting off the weekend Friday at home against the Wexford Raiders, the Panthers fell behind early and were un- able to recover in a 6-2 loss. The Panthers (2-6-2 for six points) fall to sixth place in the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ South Conference standings. Pickering sits three points behind Wexford, North York and Vaughan, all tied for third place with nine points. The weekend was a source of frustration for head coach Jim Wilson. “It’s been difficult; it’s very frustrating,” he noted, “but that’s part of growing pains with a team that doesn’t have a great amount of experience. We let these games slide away from us.” Despite being outshot by a wide 50-34 margin in Sun- day’s game, the Panthers still held the 3-2 lead, thanks to a two-goal effort by forward James Gadon, who put Picker- ing in front at the 3:06 mark of the third period. Peter Aston recorded the other Pickering goal. Against the Rattlers, Gadon recorded another strong night, scoring two goals and adding an assist. Andrew Gilbert recorded his first of the sea- son. Tyler Townsend and Ken Brown recorded two assists apiece. Scott Gray stopped 34 shots, including a spectacular kick save with seven minutes to play in the first period on a point shot that was tipped in the slot. In Friday’s game against Wexford, the Panthers got be- hind the eight-ball early, al- lowing the Raiders to sprint out to a 4-1 lead after 20 min- utes. After neither team was able to score in the second pe- riod, Wexford struck for a pair of goals in the third, while Pickering managed a power- play marker to close out the scoring. Mike Alexiou and Peter Franchin scored, with as- sists to Corey Black with two, Brown and Franchin. The Panthers return to ac- tion Friday night when they host the Ajax Axemen at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The teams played to a 3-3 draw in their first meeting. On Saturday, the Panthers are in Stouffville to play the Spirit in an interlock- ing matchup involving a North Conference opponent. On Sunday, the Panthers are on the road to Toronto to play the St. Michael’s Buzzers at 7 p.m. A.J.

The Panthers lost 6-2. The Pickering juniors had a lone tie to show for three league games last weekend. After slow start, Ajax school rolls to 31-14 win over Sinclair AJAX —The Archbish- op Denis O’Connor Catholic High School Chargers continue to roll on the gridiron. The Chargers bumped their Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) senior football record to 2-0 after a 31-14 victory over the Sinclair Secondary School Celtics at the Oshawa Civic Stadi- um last Thursday. After a series of miscues in the first quarter that led to two Celtics touchdowns off turnovers, the Chargers settled down the rest of the way. Tied 14-14 at halftime, the DO’C Chargers held the Celtics in check with a solid defensive effort, while the team’s vaunted offence put two touch- downs and a field goal on the board in the second half. DO’C suffered from a major case of fumble-itis in the first quarter, turning over the ball on its first of- fensive series. The turnover at midfield led to the Celtics’ first touchdown. Later in the quarter, the Chargers turned the ball over at their own 20-yard line, which led to another major for Sinclair. With DO’C trailing 14-7 at the end of the first quar- ter, Chargers coach Jim Leckey noted a pep talk was needed to get his play- ers’ minds back on the task at hand. “The guys were griping and moaning to one anoth- er, so I told them not to get down on one another, but to build each other up. Their spirits seemed to go up and we shut them down the rest of the way,” explained Leckey. The highlight of the game was the outstanding contribution of Chargers’ placekicker Erik Martinez. He booted a 41-yard field goal, as well as four con- verts. “It was awesome,” said Leckey of the field goal by Martinez who’s also a line- backer. Keith Godding scored both DO’C touchdowns in the first half. Paul Leckey and Dan West also scored majors. While the Chargers’ high-octane offence, led by last year’s league most valuable player, quarter- back James Leckey, has been true to form this sea- son, the biggest surprise has been the work of the defence, noted coach Leck- ey. “The offence has done what we expected it to do, but the defence has been a real treat. They’re doing a terrific job of adjusting to the other team. We have a lot of inexperienced kids on defence, but they’re learn- ing and applying on every play,” he said. The Archbishop Denis O’Connor Chargers go for win number three tomor- row (Thursday) as they host the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers under the lights at the school, 80 Mandrake St., with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Dolphins’tykes, atoms and peewees all post- ed big wins over Markham in Central Ontario Minor Football League action at Kinsmen Park in Pickering. The tykes blanked the Raiders 19- 0, the atoms were 52-8 winners, and the pee- wees completed the trifecta with a 22-6 victory. The tykes defence carried the day, with strong efforts turned in by Dillon Campbell, who stripped the ball from a Raiders’ball carri- er, Andrew Goary and Jordan Ali, who each caused a fumble, Brandon Misseri, who recov- ered a fumble and was credited with a quarter- back sack, and Chris Mueller, who had a touch- down-saving tackle. In the second quarter, a 65-yard kickoff re- turn by Kareem Tucker scored the first of three TDs for the Dolphins with Gregory Farrell and Joshua Sparas supplying a couple of key blocks. Tyler Grayer generated the rest of the scoring. David Wilson added a convert. Meanwhile, the atoms managed their fifth win of the season after a dominating perfor- mance. The offensive line was especially strong as linemen Taylor Rice, Mathew Blum and Marc Gregoire blew open gaping holes for run- ning back Jordon McLaughlin who had a big game. Wide receivers Christopher Piercey and Brandon Wood made some key catches. On defence, the secondary was a big factor as Myles Daly and Jordon Nguyen each record- ed two interceptions, with Nguyen running back one for a touchdown. David McIlravey also had an interception and made some strong tackles. Markham had a tough time trying to get past Ryan Phillips, Keil Whelan, Michael Portner and Brett Jamieson on numerous Raiders’ of- fensive drives, making many tackles and a punt fumble recovery. The atoms’ record improves to 5-2 with three games remaining. In the peewee contest, the Dolphins built up a 16-0 first-half lead and then cruised to the de- cisive victory. Quarterbacks Jesse Andrews and David Priestman led the offence as Andrews directed a strong ground game and threw a number of passes downfield to wide receivers Travis Thomas and Scott MacDonald. He also hooked up with tight end Ben Schembri on a pass-and- run play. Priestman threw two touchdown pass- es to wide receiver Travis Thomas, the first being a highlight reel item as Priestman rolled right and threw the pass for an over-the-shoul- der grab while keeping both feet inbounds. The first Dolphins’ touchdown was scored by running back Jahmoy Tyrel, who followed the blocking of offensive linemen Craig and Andrew Smith. The backfield duo of Adam Noguera and Brent Ste.-Croix had an excellent game running the ball and pass blocking when required. Dolphins’offensive linemen Andrew Smith, Craig Smith, Richard Morrison, Jesse MacPherson, Dylan Lock, Brendon Eadie, Shawn Walker and Scott Blake had another out- standing game. On defence, Codee Whelan was solid at the right corner position while inside linebackers Keith Hunter and Scott Campbell were stellar when called upon. The defensive line of Richard Morrison, Josh Fudge, Justice Moun- sey, Joytin Handa and Cameron McNairn dom- inated while accumulating a number of quarter- back sacks in the fourth quarter. Dolphins’ defensive backs and linebackers once again came up with a great effort limiting their opponents to little or no gain on most oc- casions. Dolphins’ teams travel to Scarborough Sun- day to play the Thunder at L’Amoreaux Park.

The Warriors captured the under-10 divisional crown after downing the York United Cougars 1-0 in overtime in the championship contest. The game was reminiscent of the final of the Whitby Girls’Soccer Tour- nament earlier in the year. At that event, the teams met in the final, with overtime deciding the match in favour of the Warriors. This time, the final was another tight affair, with neither side able to score in regulation time. The Warriors dominated the playing field and had several scoring opportunities with balls bouncing off the crossbars and into the hands of the York keeper. Kayla Donahue put the winner over the York keeper in overtime. Lindsay Panchan was recipient of the tournament’s most valuable player award for her part in five shutouts. Panchan continued what has been an outstanding individual season. She has earned 27 shutouts in 38 games. The Warriors advanced to the final after a 2-0 win over Brampton United. The Warriors controlled the field throughout as Panchan only received the ball once. Chantelle Brown scored the winner and Nicole Laberge notched the second goal. In their first match, the Warriors scored a 1-0 win over a solid West Rouge team. Laberge scored the win- ner on a cross from Brown, who was playing her first game with the team. Ajax dominated Collingwood en route to an 11-0 victory. Brown scored a hat trick, followed by Katherine Lawrence, who recorded a two-goal effort. Amy McGrath, Laberge, Don- ahue, Shannon Lucas, Panchan and newcomer Justine Huyer added sin- gles. Ajax played to a scoreless draw with Darlington in Game 3. Both keep- ers worked hard to preserve the shutouts. Other team members are Shannon Baker, Lauren Cunningham, Rebecca Cuthbert, Kayla Edwards, Lynsey Fer- ris, Melanie Fox, Amanda Haisley, Amanda Lancia and Natasha Nech- vatal-Drew. Naso Poposki coaches the team, as- sisted by Tony Lancia and John Don- ahue. The trainer is Andrea Lancia. After claiming regional title, Power boys clinch champions’soccer crown PICKERING —The Pickering Power under-14 regional soccer team finished off an outstanding season in fine fashion, capturing the championship at the Tom Dunleavy Memorial Tournament of Champions in Unionville. Played last weekend at the Milliken Sports Complex, the Central Soccer League champion Pickering Power played the South Regional Soccer League champion Saltfleet in an east-west matchup featuring the top two under-14 elite-level squads in the province. Pickering, which features players from across Durham Region, defeated Saltfleet 2- 1 to clinch the title. Forward Andrew Landry put the Power in flight with the team’s first goal, scoring off a cross from Luke Stedmond. Pickering’s sec- ond goal was almost the reverse of the first marker, with Stedmond scoring off a rebound from a shot by Landry. Pickering earned the right to represent the CSL at the Dunleavy tournament after de- feating the Scarborough Blizzards 7-1 in the regional premier championship game late last month. Landry scored in the first 10 minutes of the game before the Blizzards scored several minutes later. Pickering ratcheted up the pressure at that point, and was rewarded with unanswered goals by Josip Bosnjak, Miguel John, Bennie Yi, Landry and two from Sted- mond. Midfielders Mathew Groves, Thomas Rivas, Fabrizio Savarino, Joshua Thirilo- ganathan and Danny Carroll kept the ball in the Blizzards’zone for most of the 80-minute game. The defensive line was almost impenetra- ble as stopper Thomas Burger, left back Jay- den Geense, right back Erik Zenatis, wing back Devon Munch, stopper William Ro- driguez and sweeper Jesse Trajkovski played well to secure the victory. Goalkeeper Mathew Ruston was brilliant when he had to be, stopping three shots. The Power ended the CSL season with a record of 11-1-4, enough to secure the league championship. In the process, Power scored 51 goals, while allowing 13. In tournament action this year, the Power finished as runners-up at the COVI, Northumberland Invitational, Erin Mills Ea- gles Invitational and were quarter-finalists at the Robbie International. The team also trav- elled to the international Schwanns USA Cup in Blaine, Minnesota where they made it to the quarter-finals, defeating all its Ameri- can opponents, while losing the playoff game to Mexico 3-1. During the course of the outdoor season, the Power were invited to do a demonstration and assist a Challenge League team, consist- ing of young adults with physical and mental challenges. The squad has signed up to assist the league during the 2003 outdoor season on a regular basis. This off-season promises to be a busy one for the under-14s. The team plays in the On- tario Youth Soccer League in 2003, due to its championship placement this season. Picker- ing is also planning a trip to Jamaica for games against the Jamaican under-15 team and the Harbor View under-15s. In 2003, the team is also planning to travel to Europe to play many of the top youth teams in the world and as such, is embarking on an ambi- tious fund-raising program. Junior Groves coaches the team, assisted by Troy Garel. The trainer is George Tra- jkovski and the manager is Gayna Stedmond. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 2, 2002 PAGE B3 A/P Have A Barr e l o f F u n OKTOBERFEST at our SCRAMBLE Book Early!

From its earliest beginnings to present day favourites, ‘An Evening on Broadway’ offers skits, dancing and laughs until Nov. 2 at Herongate Barn Dinner Theatre in the Hamlet of Whitevale. “It runs the gamut of Broadway,” noted director and choreographer Shari Robinson-Coulter, an Oshawa resident and dance instructor in Bow- manville. “Starting very early on with Showboat and Oklahoma and running right through to present day with The Producers.” Robinson-Coulter wrote the pro- duction, saying it offers something for audiences of all ages. She added the show also features themes and highlights, such as the ‘bad boys and bad girls’ of Broadway and a tribute to Cole Porter. “I had a lot of fun doing this,” she said. “I did a lot of research on the Internet and the show also consists of narrative. We hope to give the audi- ence a better knowledge of the the- atre.” Following auditions back in June, the cast of eight, plus a pianist and drummer, got its act together for opening night Sept. 6. The lineup of talent has a distinct Durham flavour. The show’s director of music and pi- anist is Pickering’s Don Green, while his wife Rose sings and dances in the show. Offering comedic, singing and dancing talent are Daryl Marks of Pickering and Oshawa’s Geoffrey Coulter. Pickering’s Kelly-Anne Moss lends her singing and dancing skills to the production. Drummer Mark Siversky, Jen- nifer Pogue, Daniel Wyse, Dar- rell Hicks, and Cheryl Cline round out the cast, which ranges in age from 18 up to one per- former in his 50s. “I really like the idea of having a variety of age groups,” said Robin- son-Coulter. “You’re able to do more, offer more variety.” As for the substantial Durham rep- resentation of performers, Robinson- Coulter said it’s no surprise. “There’s definitely a lot of talent in the area,” she said. “If you look at the community theatres, look at other areas... there is a lot of tal- ent. “There are a lot of people doing it and the beauty of it is they do it for the love of it.” Performances, which include a pre-show meal, run every Thursday to Sunday at the theatre, 2885 Altona Rd., north of Taunton Road. Tickets are $42.95, except Saturday’s price of $47.95.

Durham talent helps bring ‘An Evening on Broadway’ to life in north Pickering Talent far and wide arrives Saturday for mighty fine show, sale and auction PICKERING —Dianne Horvath is counting on a picture-perfect week- end for area art lovers. The Ajax-based fine arts photogra- pher pulls the wraps off the first Greenwood Fine Art Show and Sale Saturday, Oct. 5 at Pickering Museum Village, featuring more than 24 artists travelling from around Ontario, in- cluding the Ottawa area, St. Thomas and plenty of Durham representation. “The reason I decided to take on this venture was I felt there was a need for a venue for the artists,” she said. “I hope to make this not only for visual arts, but for the performing arts as well.” To that end, Horvath noted mem- bers of the Backwoods Players, the theatre group operating out of the mu- seum village, will be offering desserts and hot cider — and improvised vil- lage gossip. And, this being the first year, Hor- vath envisions future shows incorpo- rating dance, recitals, singing and more. Among the fine art on display this weekend is watercolours, oil, photog- raphy, marble and pastel work. In ad- dition, there will be an auction with a portion of the proceeds going to the Pickering Museum Village founda- tion’s project to restore the Brougham Central Hotel. The auction includes the work of artists at the show, along with pieces by Robert Bateman, Laura Berry and Trisha Romance, among others. Viewing starts at 10 a.m., followed by the bidding at noon. Beginning at 11 a.m., the water will be boiling on a corn roast that lasts until the last cob is gone. Also planned for the event is an appearance by ‘Tool Girl’ Mag Ruffman, who will be signing autographs. There is no cost to enter, but dona- tions will be collected at the door for the Brougham hotel project. For anyone unable to make the show, some of the work will be on display through October at the Art and Soul Gallery in Pickering Village. Saturday’s show runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum village is in Green- wood off Hwy. 7, west of Westney Road. For more information, visit the Web site at www.horvath.ca/green- wood.

BY TONY DOYLE Staff Editor AJAX — Get your start or show what you’re already made of at one of Durham’s fastest growing art shows. A little over a week remains to register for the fourth annual PineR- idge Arts Council and Town of Ajax Juried Art Show running Nov. 1 to Dec. 1. Growing from about 100 en- tries in Year 1 to approximately 180 a year ago, show co-ordinator April Polak said she has been kept busy by inquiries for 2002 from across Durham and beyond. “I have had more phone calls this year from the youth sector and adult sector than I’ve ever had before,” she said. Ms. Polak said the show offers something for artists of all skill lev- els, young or old, and each year fea- tures some incredible work. “It’s a first step into the world of critiquing (for some), and I’ve also found some of the top artists from Durham are entering their work,” she said, adding, “It’s a nice introduction for youth.” Among the work expected in 2002 are watercolours, acrylic, oils, and pencil. Ray Partridge claimed last year’s best-in-show prize and this year there is $750 on the line for the top entry. In addition, there is a mayor’s award for both the adult and youth cate- gories and awards of excellence and honourable mentions. Further cash prizes will be determined once spon- sorship is in place. The deadline for entry is Friday, Oct. 11 and the cost is $15 for PineR- idge members, $25 for non-members or $10 for youth entries. The contest is open to PineRidge Arts Council members and residents of Durham Region. “As long as it can hang on the wall, we’ll accept it, and it has to be within a certain size range,” said Ms. Polak. Work will be collected at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., Oct. 27, 28 and 30, fol- lowed by the opening reception Fri- day, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Professional artist and interna- tional lecturer Stephanie Rayner is this year’s juror. For more information or entry forms, call Ms. Polak at 905-683- 8458 or visit the Town’s Web site at www.townofajax.com and go to the arts online section. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 2, 2002 PAGE B5 A/P SINGLES DANCE PARTY PRESTIGE LOCATION-FALL BALL OSHAWA GOLF CLUB GTA Professional Singles Network Friday Oct. 11 Annandale Golf Club 24HR.

She had plenty of catching up to do. A latecomer to the art world, it was only after her husband was transferred for work to her hometown of Cape Breton in 1994 that the 54-year-old fell headlong into her new passion. It started with some dabbling in oil, but has since progressed to include pencil, watercolour, and pastel work, among others. “Pencil is my first love, it’s medita- tive,” she said. “It’s very calming to work on a large drawing, the time is just gone. You can lose yourself in it.” After settling in Ajax, Steinhaus jumped on board any and all groups she could find. She belongs to the PineRidge Arts Council in west Durham, Ajax Creative Arts, is presi- dent of the Oshawa Art Association, and is also a member of the Whitby Station Gallery, the Pastel Artists of Ontario and the Durham Council for the Arts. “It’s a networking thing,” Stein- haus said of her busy schedule. “There’s not a lot of people who want to sit around and talk art with you. We’re all talking on the same page, plus you learn from each other.” The latest addition to her resume is a solo exhibition on display until Oct. 20 at the McLean Community Centre in Ajax. The work includes local land- marks and a collection of works from Cape Breton to Europe. Among the landmarks is a water- colour of Ontario Power Generation’s massive windmill located in Pickering next to the nuclear plant. Admitting windmills are a favourite subject, she’s captured them during numerous trips to Holland and revealed she couldn’t wait for the local model to go up just over a year ago. “I think I was there immediately with my camera so that was a natural for me,” she recalled. Steinhaus also has two paintings currently on display as part of a group exhibit at Parkwood Estate in Oshawa, participated in last weekend’s show at Oshawa’s Camp Samac and has plans to be involved with the Juried Art Show in Ajax and Ajax Creative Arts Show. Her work is also included in private collections locally, in Cape Breton and Europe. Still, despite the lengthy list of ex- posure, she admitted she doesn’t sell a tremendous amount of work. “It’s starting to get a lot better, but artists will never be able to treat it as a job,” she said. “We make enough to cover our art supplies; you either need a supportive husband or to be inde- pendently wealthy.” The McLean centre is at 95 Magill Dr. and is open to the public Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is free. Steinhaus also has a Web site of her work at www.geocities.com/stein- hausstudio. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 2, 2002 PAGE B9 P Bayly St (West of Liverpool) Pickering Participating Merchants Will Have Specials Posted In Window Bayly St (West of Liverpool) Pickering MORTGAGES - Good, bad and ugly.
