Young Singers, 856 Air Cadets do their part for Queen’s visit BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The Young Singers have been in some high-profile spotlights before. Director Anna Lynn Mur- phy, working with the Town of Ajax, founded the community children’s choral program a decade ago. They’ve per- formed in England at Canter- bury Cathedral, sung the na- tional anthem at SkyDome, and performed for Prime Minister Jean Chretien — twice, includ- ing at Canada’s Millennium Canada Day celebration on Parliament Hill two years ago. But today the singers per- form at a party for Queen Eliz- abeth II, a monarch celebrating 50 years on the throne with a tour of Canada that touches down in Toronto. It’s an incredible honour, because at press time, just nine other Ontario choirs were slat- ed to perform at the Festival of Ontario at the National Trade Centre on the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition grounds. Ms. Murphy, in an interview days before the big event, said while some members are new- comers to the choir, there’s a lot of “seasoned veterans” and she doesn’t see nerves being a problem. “They work very hard and they’re a well-focused group, so I know they’re going to rise to the occasion,” she said. Ms. Murphy noted that apart from the Queen and Prince Philip, there would be many more dignitaries at the invitation-only event, including Premier Ernie Eves, Ontario mayors and Order of Canada recipients. The Young Singers has members from every corner of Durham Region, ranging in age from eight to 20. Within the overall group are the general choir, the touring choir, which rehearses more often and per- forms about 25 times per year, and the Random Notes, for young people up to about 20 years old. The latter two will be singing their hearts out for the sovereign’s event. Ms. Murphy said the singers are performing a lot of “Cana- dian content” in their solo per- formance, including ‘This is Our Home,’ which she dubbed a patriotic piece. “We’re trying to give, in about 30 minutes, an overall view or representation of what our choirs are all about,” she A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo The talents and dedication of local youth groups were on display this afternoon as part of a celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s visit. Young Singers (front frow, from left) Jen- nifer Wallace, Alyx Oddy, Jessica Allen and Kyla Allen han- dle the vocals while 856 Air Cadets Squadron members (from left) Ashley Tyler, Chris Minnard and Mark Razo will help fellow squadron members provide an honour guard. Trustee wants second literacy test Grade 10 literacy standards not fair to all Durham students: Hopper BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —The Province’s Grade 10 literacy test “isn’t fair”, says Oshawa Trustee Kathleen Hopper. At Monday’s Durham Dis- trict School Board meeting, programs superintendent Bev Freedman presented a report on the board’s results in the Ontario secondary school liter- acy test, administered in Feb- ruary by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). She told trustees it was “for the most part another good news item,” since roughly eight out of every 10 board students who wrote the test passed, good enough for one of the best percentages of any On- tario public board. However, Trustee Hopper said the test is designed to gauge students’ reading and writing skills in the academic stream (students intending to pursue post-secondary educa- tion) only, not the less chal- lenging applied stream. Forty- eight per cent of Grade 10s in the applied stream were suc- cessful, compared to 90 per cent of academic stream stu- dents who wrote the test. Students who cannot pass the test “will not get a diploma, they will always be second- class citizens,” said Trustee Hopper. “I think it’s wonderful the things the board is doing,” she said, referring to efforts to en- sure students are prepared for and pass the test. “But I think we have to go further. It’s not fair and I think more people have to say it’s just not fair and it’s got to change.” Trustee Hopper called for two tests, one each for students in the two streams. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy agreed, successfully mo- KATHLEEN HOPPER ‘More people have to say it’s just not fair...’ Ajax, Pickering youth deliver royal reception City women urged to be on alert Police urge caution following Pickering sex attack BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer PICKERING —Detectives investigating a home invasion and violent sex-assault have linked the attack to an unsolved break-and-enter in August. The development has prompted police to issue a warn- ing to women in south Pickering to lock their doors and windows at night, travel in groups and walk in well-lit, high-traffic areas. Last Thursday, a woman working at a city group home for the developmentally chal- lenged was sexually assaulted by a masked, knife-wielding at- tacker who broke into the resi- dence about 4:15 a.m. Durham Regional Police said the intruder confronted the 49- year-old victim in the house, lo- cated near Brock and Kingston roads. The attacker demanded money and began searching the house, physically dragging the victim along. She was then taken outside, threatened with death and sexually assaulted in a neighbouring yard, police said. The victim, who was not se- riously injured, was treated at hospital and released. The forensic identification and sexual assault units are working on the case and have now established a link to an Au- gust break-in in south Pickering, AT A GLANCE Colorectal cancer the focus of annual oncology meeting AJAX —Lakeridge Health is holding its third annual oncology conference Thursday, Nov. 7 at Carruthers Creek Community Church, 620 Audley Rd. from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Ajax.This year’s focus is the Current Realities of Colorectal Cancer.

A panel of survivors and their families will also provide discussion at the con- ference. The conference costs $75 per person, or $60 before Oct. 15. Pa- tients may attend for $50. However, no patient will be refused admis- sion due to inability to pay. Call 905-576-8711 ext. 4470 for further details. Pickering firefighters mark special week PICKERING —Here’s your chance to tour the local fire hall, see a rescue in action and learn more about fire safety. The Pickering Fire Services rolls up its bay doors to the public as part of Fire Prevention Week Oct. 6 to 12. Open houses are planned for Saturday, Oct. 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hall No. 5 at 1616 Bayly St. in Pickering, and Saturday, Oct. 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hall No. 4 in Claremont at 4941 Old Brock Rd.The public can tour the halls and talk to fire personnel, while the open house at Hall No. 5 will also feature an auto extrication in which firefighters demonstrate how they use the ‘Jaws of Life’ to free drivers from a vehicle. Platoon Chief Gord Ferguson nar- rates the action, which gets under- way at 1:30 p.m.There will also be a display booth at the Pickering Town Centre Oct. 7 to 12 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fire personnel will discuss fire safety and hand out in- formation on this year’s theme, ‘team up for safety’, as named by the National Fire Protection Associ- ation. For more information, contact the fire prevention office at 905- 420-4660. See YOUTHS page A2 See GRADE page A2 See WOMEN page A4 tioning that a letter be sent to both the EQAO and Education Minister Eliza- beth Witmer, calling for separate tests. However not all trustees shared their views. “I think that we’re on the right track, and I’m glad the standards were put in and that they’re high standards,” said Pickering Trustee Paul Crawford, adding he wouldn’t want to go back to the days when undeserving students received a diploma. Oshawa Trustee Cynthia Steffen said the results were an improvement over the first, trial-run administration of the test. “I’m happy with the results,” she said. “I really see them going up. If our children can’t read or write, we’re rob- bing them of their choices.” Whitby Trustee Doug Ross, who plans to run for the Liberal party nom- ination in Oshawa in the next provin- cial election, criticized the Province’s emphasis on student testing, saying, “we’re testing for failure, we’re creat- ing a tunnel vision. “We’re beginning to teach for the test.” Ms. Freedman, acting education di- rector at the meeting, replied while she’s not an apologist for the Conserv- ative government, the literacy test is grounded in the curriculum, and stu- dents are tested on skills they acquire in school. In a previous interview, Ms. Freed- man said she was “personally and pro- fessionally pleased” to hear Ms. Wit- mer say last week that she was open to the idea of an alternate diploma for students who fail the literacy test. She said Durham is among the boards that have been actively lobby- ing for such a move.

Tel: (905) 428-8888•Fax: (905)428-8904 Don’t Let Winter Freeze Your Car In Its Tracks It’s a fact of life that oils and grease become thicker as temperatures drop. Tests have shown that up to 40 percent of all engine wear occurs during cold starts. In other words, during winter, your car needs all the protection it can get. In extreme temperatures, conventional petroleum motor oils become nearly solid, whereas some synthetic motor oils can remain fluid and effective to more than 70 degrees below zero. If oil in the engine is too thick, it will slow the starting rpm and restrict the amount of oil flowing to engine components, sluggish oil in a cold engine can increase the wear on bearings and rings, decreasing engine life. Thick oil can also increase the burden on already-overtaxed starting systems, to the point where your vehicle won’t start without a block heater or a squirt of starter fluid. For all of these reasons, it is important to be sure your lubricants are the right ones for your operating conditions. said. Also on the bill is ‘Feelin’Good,’a fun, jazzy piece. All the choirs together, about 400 singers, are to perform, ‘A Place to Stand`,’ the song famous for its “On- tari-ari-ari-ohhh” lyric in the chorus. And while that tune is very late 1960s, Ms. Murphy said it’s been “classed up” with a four-part arrangement, sung a cappella as the Queen and Prince walk down Heritage Hall to leave the venue. And, as they pass, the last people the Queen and Prince will see is about 27 members of the 856 Pickering Air Cadets, lined up as an honour guard for the monarch, to whom they pledge allegiance. The appearance of both the choir and the cadets is thanks to Peter Jo- hannes. His daughter is a cadet and he is 856’s treasurer. As well, a second daughter and Mr. Johannes’s two nieces are Young Singers. In March, when he heard the Queen was coming, Mr. Johannes called the federal protocol office in Ottawa to inquire about the singers performing. A half-dozen referrals later, he was in contact with the Ontario protocol office, where visit organizers liked the idea. “Once I had the Young Singers, I introduced them to the Air Cadets,” said Mr. Johannes. He said both groups of young peo- ple are sure to remember this once-in- a-lifetime opportunity. “We’re extremely pleased to be able to put this on our resumes,” said Mr. Johannes. Grade 10 test called unfair by Durham trustee GRADE from page A1 Youths chosen to represent Ajax and Pickering YOUTHS from page A1 Cause unknown in $25,000 townhouse fire PICKERING —Fire officials are still investigating the cause of a blaze that caused $25,000 in damages to a townhouse Monday night. Deputy Chief Mark Diotte, of Pickering Fire Services, says the fire started in a room in the basement of the Radom Street townhouse at around 7:30 p.m. Three stations responded to the blaze, which was brought under con- trol within 10 minutes, he said. Most of the damage was contained to one room, but firefighters estimate it sustained $10,000 in structural dam- age and $15,000 in damage to the contents.

Clarington Mayor John Mutton, Clarington Chief Administrative Of- ficer Frank Wu, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson and Durham Tourism Manager Patti Watson will fly to Lyon, France later this week for an international fusion confer- ence. The delegation will be selling the international community on Claring- ton as the ideal site for the ITER (In- ternational Thermonuclear Experi- mental Reactor) fusion research and development project. If built here, the research and development centre is expected to create 69,000 person- years of employment and create an economic building block for high technology development and educa- tion in the area. “The negotiations are at the criti- cal stage,” Mayor Mutton said recent- ly, noting the importance of the local community’s support in the final de- cision-making process. During the conference, the mayor will be making a presentation to the international fusion community on the strengths of the Clarington site, located between Ontario Power Gen- eration and St. Mary’s Cement on Lake Ontario. Japan, France and Spain have also submitted bids to host the facility and will have representatives in atten- dance at the conference, the mayor notes. An Iter Canada booth will be set up at the conference, to be manned by representatives of Iter Canada and Ms. Watson. The conference will also include sessions specific to the ITER project and a keynote address will be made on the opening day by Iter In- ternational Director Dr. Robert Aymar. As part of its excursion, the Durham delegation expects to travel to Spain’s proposed site. “It will be to our advantage to see what we’re up against when we go to market our areas,” Mr. Anderson said. The final decision is now expected in spring 2003. Mr. Wu said the cost of the trip is approximately $3,000 to $4,000 per person. No health threat, say officials BY JACQUIE MCINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––The Region is main- taining there is no health threat to Durham’s water system despite 22 charges filed against it, totalling a possi- ble $91.75 million in fines. Durham has been charged on 15 counts of failing to notify the Province of “indicators of adverse water” samples between October 2000 and July 2001 in its Greenbank, Uxbridge and Port Perry water distribution systems. Each of those charges carries a maximum fine of $6 million. The Region faces a further seven charges, with $250,000 maximum fines each, for failing to monitor nitrate levels and excessive flow rate at two Greenbank wells. “There was not, at any point, any threat to the water quality,” said Region spokesman Pat Robinson Thursday. First and foremost, she said, the Region is committed to ensuring water quality and safety for its residents. “There was no breakdown in it. The integrity of the water was never threatened. Water qual- ity was not an issue.” Fifteen charges relate to allegations the Region did not inform the Ministry of Environment (MOE) of insufficient residual levels of chlorine in the sys- tems, said John Steele, spokesman for the MOE. He could not speak directly to the Durham charges, as they have not been proven in court. However, he did say, in general, if chlorine levels drop below a certain point, and bacteria en- ters the water system, there may not be sufficient chlorine to disinfect the drink- ing supply. “We’re rarely finding bacteria (in municipal water systems) but there is al- ways a danger of E.coli,” he said. “Chlo- rine is used to disinfect water and you must have a residual level of .05 mg/litre to ensure enough chlorine is in the sys- tem to kill bacteria.” Dr. Donna Reynolds, associate med- ical officer of health for Durham Re- gion, says although it is not common for chlorine levels to drop below the regu- lated level, it does happen. However, she stresses during 2001 all incidents of low chlorine levels were reported to the health department, which is responsible for overseeing immediate correction of the problem. Between August and De- cember 2000, she says works depart- ment staff were in training on new regu- lations, including reporting procedures for low chlorine levels. Perhaps even more importantly, she says, there has at no point been any in- dication of bacteria in the water system during regular testing. Dr. Reynolds noted chlorine is a sec- ondary disinfectant. The water is treated for bacteria at the water treatment plant prior to entering the distribution system. Chlorine is used to ensure water does not become contaminated between the plant and when it reaches the tap, she said. Another five charges, with a maxi- mum penalty of $250,000 each, were also laid relating to failure to monitor for nitrate levels at Greenbank Well No. 6. Very high levels of water nitrates have been related to a very rare but serious health condition in infants, said Dr. Reynolds, who added she is unaware of any incidence of the condition in Durham. Two further charges were laid for ex- ceeding the flow rate on the water-tak- ing permit at Greenbank Well No. 1. Those charges are a “water quantity issue, not a water quality issue,” Mr. Steele said. Those charges also carry a maximum $250,000 fine each. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 9, 2002 PAGE A3 A/P The Minister of Finance may end the sale of bonds at any time.Series 27 & 78 available only until November 1,2002,subject to change without notice. two words: guaranteed returns New Canada Savings Bonds buy yours now. the way to save. guaranteed. • Canada Premium Bonds are cashable once a year, on the anniversary of the issue and for 30 days thereafter • Canada Savings Bonds are cashable at any time • No fees • Start with as little as $100 • Both are RRSP and RRIF eligible • Guaranteed by the Government of Canada • Perfect for the secure part of your savings • Buy online, by phone, by payroll, or wherever you bank or invest For current bondholders: • Holders of unmatured Canada Savings Bonds Series 46–50, 54, 60, 66 and 72, and Canada Premium Bonds Series 9, please check our web site or call for important details regarding your bonds • CSB Series 45 matures November 1, 2002 to buy direct visit www.csb.gc.ca or call 1 888 773-9999.

News Advertiser reporter to cover ITER conference BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —Pickering is pushing for a federal environ- mental assessment of the Seaton lands. Local councillors want a full federal panel review of the im- pending land swap, along with a thorough archeological invento- ry and study of Seaton by the Ministry of Indian and Northern Affairs. Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan’s motion passed Monday night after an impassioned plea from David Grey Eagle, a repre- sentative from the Huron First Nations, to preserve the area’s numerous native burial sites and artifacts. Seaton is home to literally thousands of native heritage sites, he said. The Huron, num- bering as many people as there are living in Scarborough and Pickering today, settled along Seaton’s 12 rivers, building their villages along the shores, he said. The Province is in the process of swapping land it owns in north Pickering for pri- vately owned lands in Rich- mond Hill and Uxbridge. “I’m not an activist. I’m not a protester,” Mr. Grey Eagle said. “I’m a thousand-year-old voice speaking out to you tonight. “How many times do the First Nations people have to come and tell you what you’re doing is wrong? How can we destroy our history by putting up houses and golf courses?” Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner, who second- ed Coun. Ryan’s motion, said the Province is fully aware of where the native burial sites are in Seaton. They surveyed the area for sites in 1997, but now they are choosing to ignore their own survey, he said. “The Province can not super- sede the federal government and its powers,” added Coun. Ryan. He argued Seaton’s headwa- ters, primary fish habitat and spawning grounds make it a nat- ural area of concern for federal Minister of Environment David Anderson. The push for a federal as- sessment has the support of Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague and there’s a good chance the federal govern- ment will express its full sup- port too, Coun. Ryan said. Opposing the plan were Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson and Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. While Coun. Johnson said he takes issue with the North Pick- ering Land Exchange Review Panel and its membership — no councillors were asked to sit on it — he wondered if a federal environmental assessment would be required for every de- velopment in the future. “The City of Pickering has built on many rivers,” he said. Coun. Pickles said he felt it premature to call for the assess- ment now, before City staff had a chance to comment on the draft principles issued from the review panel. They are expected to report back to council Oct. 21. He also questioned why the City would wel- come more federal inter- vention when the munici- pality has traditionally been critical of provincial and federal involvement in north Pickering plan- ning issues. “I don’t see what we can call a federal environmental assess- ment on,” he said afterwards. “We don’t usually ask for an as- sessment on a land use issue. It’s usually for specific projects, not urban development.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 9, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Highway 2 Brock RdLiverpool RdKingston Rd.

In that incident, a woman woke up in her bedroom to find a masked man standing nearby. She screamed and the stranger ran out of the house. Police now believe the same suspect is responsible for both incidents. “We have a suspected link and are following up leads,” said Sergeant Paul Malik, police spokesman. Police don’t know if the prior break-in was sexually motivated, he said. In light of the incidents police issued the warning. Sgt. Malik said “women should never be afraid” to walk at night. Rather, police are urg- ing women to always be vigilant and take proactive steps in pro- tecting themselves from becom- ing a victim, he said. Police described the suspect as male, black, in his 20s, about 6-feet tall, with a slim build, wearing a mask over his face, grey pants and a blue coat.

HOURS: MONDAY TO FRIDAY 9:00am to 6:00pm Durham boards move closer to new direction Catholic, public trustees in final stretch to replace directors BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s school boards will name new edu- cation directors in the next two months. Both Grant Yeo and Grant An- drews, leaders of the Durham pub- lic and Catholic district school boards, respectively, are retiring and the boards have begun processes to choose replacements, retaining consultants to assist them. Mr. Yeo in late August an- nounced he would be retiring in January after six years at the helm of the 70,000-student board. Board chairman Elizabeth Roy said in a Monday interview the new director would be announced at the Nov. 18 board meeting and he or she would have a two-month transition period to work with Mr. Yeo before assuming the reigns. All board trustees are members of the committee to pick the new director — however she clarified only trustees who take part in an upcoming interviewing weekend would be eligible to cast a vote. “When it comes down to mak- ing decisions and voting, those who are present only are eligible,” said Trustee Roy. “We’re commit- ting to a weekend (for the inter- views), and if you can’t make it, you’re not part of it.” She said that guideline must be followed to protect the board, cit- ing a case at another school board that was legally forced to hire an applicant who was not originally chosen. Trustee Roy said she under- stands there are at present four candidates for the job — including some Durham board supervisory officers. “There is indication from a few of the superintendents that there are inside applicants,” she said. At the Catholic board, chair- man Mary Ann Martin said in an interview a new director would be chosen at a Dec. 9, special board meeting, giving the new director about three weeks to work with Mr. Andrews before he retires. Mr. Andrews became education director of the 26,500-student board in 1995. The board will advertise the po- sition this week and include post- ings on supervisory officer and ed- ucation director Web sites. A search committee made up of Trustee Martin, Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey, Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty and Ajax Trustee Jan- ice Oldman will bring a recom- mendation to the board. Trustee Martin didn’t know if any board superintendents were in- terested. “I don’t have a clue; I haven’t heard from anyone,” she said. Trustee Martin said the board is still “working our way through this process” to determine exactly how the selection will work. All trustees are permitted to take part in a Nov. 30, all-day session when candidate interviews take place. She expect- ed that meeting to result in a con- sensus on a few top contenders. As for a final vote and decision, how- ever,Trustee Martin said, “we real- ly haven’t got to that point yet.” On Oct. 21, board stakeholders, including teacher, student and par- ent representatives, have an oppor- tunity to provide input on what kind of person they would like to see in the position. The public board, further along in the process, has already consult- ed with its stakeholders. GRANT ANDREWS Catholic board successor to be named Dec. 9. GRANT YEO Leaves public board in January. Crime Stoppers seeks tips DURHAM —Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help in solving a home invasion in Ajax last month. Around 11 p.m. on Sept. 17, several men, armed with handguns and knives, forced their way into a Purcell Lane home, according to Durham Regional Police. The sus- pects then took those home at the time into the basement and tied them up. The vic- tims were threatened before the suspects took some jew- elry and ransacked the house. Police are looking for five or six black males, 5-foot-6- to 5-foot-8-inches tall, with medium builds, and weigh- ing about 160 pounds. The men were dressed in dark clothing, with at least two wearing blue bandanas that covered their faces. One suspect was wearing a green sweater with a hood covering his face, low-cut black run- ning shoes with a red stripe, and black baggy pants. Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 905-436-8477 or 1-800-222- TIPS (8477). The way we were 43 Mill St. It is believed the original structure on this Pickering Vil- lage site, which was destroyed by fire, (somewhere be- tween 1850 and 1880) may have been built by Timothy Rogers who built a mill at Duffins Creek. Rogers owned 1,000 acres in the village and the Mill Street residence is situated on half an acre of what was part of that es- tate. The present two-storey red brick centre hall build- ing was apparently rebuilt using the original walls left standing after the fire. The first owner of the reclaimed house was Presbyterian minister, M. Rose. He sold it to a cousin, Robert Miller, and it remained in the Miller family until 1946. This house is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Photos supplied by the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee on behalf of the Ajax Community Archives.

P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 9, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Proud members of You can’t get on a golf course these days for politicians who are trying to do a lot more than knock a ball in a hole. One recent afternoon both Pro- gressive Conservative Premier Ernie Eves and Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty were swinging away in tournaments — Mr. Eves at Milton and Mr. McGuinty at Kleinburg. A few days later the premier was away from the legislature playing with hockey stars. The opposing leaders seemed to spend half the summer flailing away in golf tournaments. Mr. Eves has started an annual golf tournament in memory of his son, killed in a car crash, which raises money to help young peo- ple, a worthy cause. It is much the same elsewhere. The federal Liberal caucus finally emerged as being in favour of pushing out Prime Minister Jean Chretien in favour of Paul Martin over golf at an out-of-town re- treat. When former Newfoundland premier Brian Tobin asked Mr. Chretien recently to avoid recrim- inations that would hurt their fed- eral party, their talking was done — where else? — on a golf course. U.S. business leaders, shep- herded by former president George Bush, were invited to New Brunswick to negotiate over golf about investing there, and ex-pre- mier Frank McKenna explained he matched up the foursomes so they would be most likely to de- velop into business partnerships. Mr. McKenna has pointed to one special benefit politicians de- rive from golf, but there are many. They get some enjoyment and relaxation as they devote their tal- ents to trying to hit a ball into a tiny hole. It takes them away from the everyday cares of their offices. They get some exercise, al- though not a lot, about equivalent to a slow walk in the open air. Golfing itself is not going to get the heart pumping. It is a sport middle-aged men with paunches, which means most politicians, can play. It does not require as much energy as jogging or even brisk walking, more com- monly recommended for fitness. It stamps those who do it to some degree as good sports, which is how politicians prefer to be seen rather than as studious in- tellectuals a little out of touch with the real world. Golfing politicians can look like human, average guys, not aloof or stuffed shirts. Politicians can play golf for charities, which gives them satis- faction, and get some respect for it, because media are more in- clined to show pictures of them golfing than sitting in the legisla- ture. Politicians have found they can raise money from their party members by playing golf, because many would rather play with them in the open than sit inside listen- ing to speeches. They can spend time playing and socializing with big business tycoons, many of whom have taken up golf, and the Tories and Liberals are particularly eager to get all the support and cash from big business they can. Golf also is the sport of the baby boomers now reaching or at middle age, who vote and general- ly have money they can donate. They are about the most powerful group in winning elections. A premier or party leader does himself a big favour if he can get them to equate with him. The mania for golf has now left other sports far behind as the favourite of politicians. A few years ago Tory premiers John Ro- barts and William Davis, and at- torney general Roy McMurtry, who is now chief justice, liked to woo the jock vote by letting it be known they were university foot- ball heroes, and they had injuries proving it. Liberal premier David Peter- son was happy to remind he had been a useful university boxer, but fewer of today’s politicians have participated in such physical sports, which are now less popu- lar. Horse racing is called the sport of kings, but golf has now emerged as the sport most suited to politicians. Those aspiring to get to the top in politics should research their facts, polish their oratory, brush up their French and practise their golf swings. The new sport of politicking Discussing partnerships, the economy and the line on that putt It’s not every day the Region of Durham finds itself fac- ing a fine the equivalent of its annual police services bud- get. We can imagine regional politicians, on a retreat in Gravenhurst, choking on their hors d’oeuvres late last week as they heard the news: a potential $91.75-million in fines for 15 charges of failing to report “indicators of adverse water” samples, plus five charges of failure to monitor ni- trate levels and two charges of “excessive flow rate”. The total is eye-popping. But what’s really on the line here? Durham citizens have been assured by the Region’s as- sociate medical officer of health, Dr. Donna Reynolds, that at no point during regular testing has there been bacteria found in the water. Dr. Reynolds also said that throughout 2001 any incident of low chlorine in the water supply was reported by works employees to the health department, and immediate action was taken. So, during the time period to which the charges refer, October 2000 to July 2001, the health department was aware of any low chlorine levels. The charges claim the On- tario Ministry of the Environment was not informed on 15 occasions of low chlorine levels at Greenbank, Uxbridge and Port Perry water distribution systems. Seven other charges relate to claims the Region failed to monitor nitrate levels at a Greenbank well and took too much water on two occasions from another Greenbank well. Wa ter monitoring in Ontario changed drastically shortly after the Walkerton disaster in the spring and summer of 2000. After the death of seven people and the illness of hun- dreds more, the Province was forced to act quickly to show it had a handle on the goings-on at hundreds of water facil- ities across the province. Strict new regulations backed by heavy fines for non-compliance were established in legisla- tion by the ministry by August 2000. That’s where the current charges come in. It could well be that in the training to come on board with the new re- porting system, honest mistakes in filing were made. Noth- ing as yet has been proven. The charges will be addressed later this month in provin- cial court where the Region will be forced to defend its em- ployees against the claims. Meanwhile, lawyers have ad- vised regional politicians to avoid comment on the charges. It’s hard to imagine the Province throttling the taxpayers of Durham Region for possible mistakes made by the Re- gion’s works department. Surely the 500,000 citizens of Durham, who only just found out about charges covering a time span 15 months to two years ago, don’t deserve to pay the Province through the nose. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 9, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Government focus should be on stay-at-home parents To the editor: Re: ‘How can these people sleep at night,’ Jane McDonald column, Oct. 6. I agree with Ms. McDonald as to the importance of turning out “safe, healthy, educable kids” and that the well-being of our children, our future, should be paramount. I fail to see, however, how that automatically translates into uni- versal, regulated day care. Remem- ber, the word “universal” here means every baby and preschool child in Canada in day care. Although there are many ex- perts and studies to confirm it, we don’t even need them to tell us what we all know in our hearts — the healthiest, most nurturing envi- ronment for a child is at home with his mother. Polls have shown over and over again the majority of mothers would prefer to care for their own children if it was finan- cially feasible. Yet, as it stands now, there is very little tax relief given to fami- lies caring for their own children. We also know our country faces a future crisis because of our low birth rate. As highly taxed as we are, families simply can’t afford to have children. That is a tragedy that lies squarely at the feet of the Jean Chretien government, which goes on and on about the importance of children, yet completely ignores them in all its policies and budgets. We do need a generation of wanted, well-cared-for children. That is where our government’s ef- forts need to be focused. But, while not ignoring the need for quality day care where circumstances make it unavoidable, that focus pri- marily needs to be on making it as easy as possible for mothers to take care of their babies and young chil- dren at home. Linda Wainwright, Pickering This hydro debt is getting a little too taxing To the editor: Did everyone enjoy getting their last hydro bills? It’s bad enough to have to help pay off the Ontario Hydro debt, which is now appearing on our bills, but did you know the debt portion is also susceptible to the GST? Isn’t this a bit much; a real slap in the face, so to speak? I urge everyone to write to Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague at his constituen- cy office, 1020 Brock Rd., Pick- ering, Ont. L1W 3H2 and see if anything can be done to avoid the GST on the hydro debt por- tion. If we don’t try we accomplish nothing.

My name is Deborah Crews. I live in Poquoson with my husband, Howard. What follows is my true story. How I stopped a 31-year smoking habit. How my dress size plunged from 14 to a sexy size 8. How hypnosis worked when all else failed. I started smoking when I was 16. I was hooked before I knew what hit me. For the last five years I was smoking two packs a day. Four years ago I tried to quit on my own. I gained 30 pounds. I was fat and still puffing away. I tried everything to stop. The patch, the gum, just putting them down. Nothing worked. The excess weight was unbearable. I hid my body under baggy clothes. I knew I was out of control. Amazing Results I was nervous the first time I was hypnotized. I didn’t want to do anything silly. Like you see on TV. My fears were unfounded. After the session, I was a different person. I was confident. Happy. A day after my second session I lit a cigarette. I took a few drags and threw it out. It didn’t taste good. It stunk. I haven’t smoked since. No cravings. Zero withdrawals. Automatic Weight Loss Hypnosis made weight loss easy. I didn’t diet. Never felt deprived. I didn’t even know it was happening. My dress size plunged from a 14 to a sexy size 8. I lost 23 pounds. With hypnosis you don’t count calories or weigh food. You just sit back, relax and let your mind take back control. Hypnosis makes it so simple and easy even a child could be successful. My self-esteem is at an all time high. I look in the mirror and love what I see. Positive Changes Hypnosis deserves 100% of the credit. Recommends Positive Changes Hypnosis is special to me. They helped me when all else failed. That’s why I urge you to give them a call. Schedule your free hypnotic screening. They understand your needs and will do everything possible to help. I finally rid myself of the old habits that devastated my health for years. You can do it too. Pick up the phone and call Positive Changes Hypnosis. Sincerely, Deborah Crews, p.s. My husband and I will soon take a romantic adventure to Cancun with the money I saved on cigarettes and junk food.

Sayvette alumni meet for sixth annual reunion in PickeringSeven days to eliminating waste The Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) joins all Canadian provinces in cele- brating Waste Reduction Week, Oct. 21 to 27. The theme,‘too good to waste’, conveys an appreci- ation for the richness of our diverse land and how we can protect the environment by conserving resources and curbing wasteful prac- tices. Each of the respective jurisdictions involved in Waste Reduction Week will be using daily themes to guide the campaign. Here are some sugges- tions: Monday —At home, re- duce the amount of packag- ing at point of purchase. En- courage your entire house- hold to think about ways to reduce water, energy and fuel consumption. Begin to backyard compost if you have not already done so. This Christmas give an au- tomatic thermostat to a fam- ily member so they can turn the heat down at night and when everyone is away on a holiday; Tuesday —When trav- elling, take public trans- portation or ride a bike. Take litterless lunches or snacks on your adventures and return home with food containers for either reuse or recycling, as well as any leftover food to compost; Wednesday —At work, lug-a-mug. Set up a vermi- composter in your office or place a container at the cof- fee station to capture tea bags, etc. so designated em- ployees can take it home to their backyard composters. Pull together a ‘green team’ that will initiate waste au- dits and incorporate envi- ronmental business prac- tices. Place a mini bin for garbage attached to a blue box at each employee’s desk; Thursday —At school, encourage students to bring garbageless lunches. Set up a composter on site. Take a field trip to your recycling depot; Friday —Playing with the environment in mind means considering the im- pact of the activities you do. Choose to canoe, kayak, or sail for example. Saturday —Shop with reusable bags. Avoid over- packaged items and look for recycled content. Choose in-season pro- duce that is grown locally; and Sunday —Community efforts from action groups have a powerful and impor- tant effect on the health of a community. Have a litter pickup, nature walk, or garage sale. Check out the RCO Web site at www.wr- wcanada.com. Larraine Roulston Recycler’s Corner roulstonlp@sympatico.ca AJAX —It’s popular, but safety hasn’t been para- mount with skateboarders and others using the new skate park at the McLean Community Centre. Ajax officials are worried many of the youths aren’t wearing helmets or other protective gear. To educate users, the Head Injury Asso- ciation of Durham Region holds a safety demonstration at the park Saturday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We ’re extremely happy to see the park being so well used,”said Tracy McMur- ray, the Town’s youth co-or- dinator. “The skate park gives boarders a safe place to practice, away from traf- fic and other hazards. But if they don’t wear safety gear, they aren’t as safe as they could be.” The hope is the demon- strations will convince youths to wear a helmet and other protective gear that could prevent serious in- juries. The park has posted rules encouraging participants to use safety gear. Those attending can enter a free draw for one of two helmets donated by North- ern Cycle. The McLean centre is at the corner of Westney Road and Magill Drive. Put a cap on your fun Tribute paid to recognize ‘sacrificial services’ AJAX —Emergency services per- sonnel were honoured for their ser- vice to the community during an open house at a north Ajax church. About 900 people were on hand recently as FaithWay Baptist Church paid tribute to police and fire person- nel. “We wanted to do something tan- gible to show our police and fire forces that we appreciate their sacrifi- cial services to our community,” Pas- tor Greg Baker said. “Every day these men and women put their lives on the line for us and we are thankful.” Pastor Baker presented plaques to Durham Regional Police Staff Sergeant Patrick Sayer, Sergeant Rick Bates and Constable Will Minion for their service to the community. Constable David Wilson was hon- oured for 30 years of service with the Ontario Provincial Police. Ajax Fire and Emergency Services Chief Fire Prevention Officer Thom Evered was honoured for his work with the de- partment. Plaques were also given to Staff Sgt. Sayer and Mr. Evered for display at the police and fire department headquarters. On hand were Janet Ecker, the MPP for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge and minister of finance, Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Scott Crawford.

After finishing first in the drivers’ standings in the Ontario Kart Racing Association (OKRA) regional senior heavy class and second in the overall drivers’ standings in the Sunoco/Ron Fellows Championship Series Canada senior class, Rob Oakman earned a one- day test in an F2000 car next season. He’ll be one of 10 drivers across Canada at the Bridgestone/Firestone Racing Academy at Mosport in the near future. As well, two of the 10 drivers taking part in the one-day test will be selected for a scholarship to complete in the F2000 Bridgestone/Firestone/Toronto Star Wheels series next year. The 21-year-old is grateful to Fel- lows for giving young drivers a chance to develop. “You have to give (Fellows) credit. He is an accomplished racer and he could do just as some other pro athletes do — nothing. But, he approached one of the sponsors (Sunoco) and said, ‘we should put together a program to help develop Canada’s drivers’. They agreed and now I have a chance that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. And, he comes out to the races to watch.” Oakman completed the 2002 OKRA season by winning the final event of the 10-race series at Goodwood, which handed him the regional senior heavy championship. For Oakman, who’s completing his 10th season in karts, it is his first provin- cial title. “I didn’t think I had a chance to win this going into the second last event of the year,” he said. “I was fifth in the points going in but I came away from Shannonville with the points lead.” That lead was a slim 24-point margin over teammate and fellow Pickering resident Dave Anderson. Anderson, even before the first of two races, closed to within 19 points as he achieved the pole position in qualifying. Oakman fin- ished second behind Anderson in the first race, moving Anderson into a six- point lead going into the final race. “The final was a lot of fun,” said Oakman. “Dave and I swapped the lead a few times, but it came down to the last corner. I had the lead going into the sec- ond-last corner, but Anderson managed to get beside me. It was a drag race up the hill and we were side by side in the last corner. I thought I was in trouble be- cause I was on the outside and had the longer way to go, but I beat him to the line.” Oakman noted his kart was perfect in the event. He gave kudos to Lon Herder and his father, Bill Oakman, for having the kart in tip-top shape. Oakman ran the same kart in the Sunoco/Ron Fellows Championship Se- ries Canada senior class. “It was a lot of work to get ready be- tween rounds because there is only one class in between to change the weight and make any necessary adjustments,” he said. Oakman finished second behind teammate Kyle Herder of Stouffville, who had already clinched the series’ points’ title at an earlier race in Shan- nonville. To keep his second-place position, Oakman had to hold off another team- mate, Aaron De Heus, of Uxbridge in the races at Goodwood. Oakman is also headed to his fifth consecutive championship at the Toron- to Kart Club. He has a comfortable lead over Pickering residents Mike Rogers and Darryl Timmers with three events remaining. Another season highlight was his kart win at the Ontario Kart Club Grand Nationals at Shannonville Motorsports Park, which propelled him into the points lead in the senior heavy class. His win at Shannonville enabled him to cap- ture the most coveted trophy in Canadi- an karting, the Grand National Bear — a sculpted award for the win at Shan- nonville, which featured 450 entries, 40 of which where in his class. ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Pickering driver Rob Oakman successfully guided his kart to first and sec- ond-place finishes in the overall points race in two karting series this sum- mer. His driving prowess has earned the 21-year-old a one-day test aboard an F2000 car at the Bridgestone/Firestone Racing Academy at Mo- sport in the near future. Tykes able to come out with tie in gridiron action DURHAM —Ajax-Pickering Dolphins football teams were struck by Thunder on the football field last weekend. The Dolphins played three Cen- tral Ontario Minor Football League contests against the Scar- borough Thunder at L’Amoreaux Park Sunday, with the tyke squad emerging with a tie. The tykes played to a 12-12 draw with the Thunder in their best game of the season. Ajax-Picker- ing dominated the game on both sides of the ball, allowing only two major scores. The first-half highlights were a nice eight-yard pass from Jonathan Gray to Nick Beurling and a flaw- lessly executed reverse on a kick- off return between Sandy Scotland and Tyler Grayer. On the defensive line, Jelane Roberts and Rob Sinclair com- bined to cause a fumble. Andrew Goary had a strong game, along with Greg Farrell, Brad Eustace and Jordan Ali, who gathered in a fumble recovery, as did Brandon Misseri. Tyler Grayer, who played on both sides of the ball, made a touchdown-saving tackle to end the first half and then scored the tykes’ first touchdown on a 20- yard run. Gray had another strong outing, capping off a Dolphins’ drive with a quarterback keeper. David Wilson also had an out- standing game, as did Kareem Tucker. Meanwhile, the atom game was a cliffhanger with Scarborough eking out a 16-14 win. The Dolphins’ defence stepped up, causing fumbles and turnovers. Ryan Phillips played a strong game, coming up with a big fum- ble recovery. The defensive line was dominant with Colin Lee, Kyle Savoie, Jordon Oram, Adam Konkle and Jessie Kelly contribut- ing strong efforts. On offence, Jermayne Goodridge and Jordon McLaugh- lin ran the ball, with Goodridge scoring the touchdowns. Offensive linemen Taylor Rice, Paul Mad- deaux, Mathew Blum, Alexander Ko and Patrick Charron opened big holes to allow running room. Quar- terback Andrew Lim played a strong game. In the peewee contest, the Dol- phins were downed by Scarbor- ough 35-14. It was the Dolphins’ first defeat in six weeks. Mental and physical miscues led to the downfall as the boys turned the ball over six times. Down 13-0 at halftime, the Dol- phins rallied to play an excellent third quarter. With the score 28-14 in the third quarter, the boys fell short by a foot or two on their at- tempt to score their third touch- down. The Dolphins also had a touchdown called back on a hold- ing penalty. The Thunder scored their final touchdown with 20 seconds re- maining. On defence, Joytin Handa, El- boron Barzegar, Cameron Mc- Nairn and Richard Morrison had strong games. The offence came alive in the second half on touchdowns by Jay- moy Tyrell and Ben Schembri. The Dolphins’special teams ex- ecuted a successful short kick in the third quarter as kicker Justice Mounsey executed an excellent 12- yard kickoff, allowing the boys to recover the ball and continue the attempted comeback. The peewees have two games remaining in the regular season and, at this point, they’ve guaran- teed themselves a playoff berth and home-field advantage for the quarter-finals. All three Dolphins’ teams play in Newmarket against the York- Simcoe Buccaneers on Thanksgiv- ing Monday. Thunder strike beaches football Dolphins Panthers suffer another loss weekend Outscored 16-6 against St. Mike’s, Ajax and Stouffville BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —Can things get any worse for the Pickering Boyer Pon- tiac Panthers? A week after eking out a single point in three league games, the battered and bruised Panthers registered a big goose egg this past weekend. Pickering had no wins to show for three OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League contests. To add insult to injury, the Panthers ended the weekend with a goose egg on the scoreboard, losing 3-0 to the St. Michael’s Buzzers in Toronto Sunday night. On Saturday night in Stouffville, an otherwise close game turned into a laugher in the final period as the North Conference’s Spirit chalked up a 7-2 win. The Panthers started the weekend on the losing end of a 6-4 score to their west Durham rivals, the Ajax Axemen, at the Pickering Recreation Complex Friday night. The upshot? The injury-wracked club is winless in its past six league games and is also mired in a four-game losing funk. As well, Pickering (2-9-2- 0 for six points) dropped to seventh place in the South Conference stand- ings, one point ahead of Ajax, which has four games in hand. Against the Buzzers, the short- staffed Panthers could only muster a paltry 21 shots at Michael Ella, who registered the shutout. Meanwhile, Pickering starter Scott Gray was beaten for three goals on 40 shots. Carrying a 1-0 lead into the third pe- riod, the Buzzers’ scored the clincher on a power play at the 4:35 mark. With just under two minutes to go, St. Mike’s added an insurance marker while play- ing short-handed. The Panthers dressed only eight for- wards Sunday night, owing to injuries that continue to pile up. Three players were added to the injury list during Fri- day’s loss to Ajax: Andrew Gilbert suf- fered a broken leg, Andrew Jackson suffered a concussion, and team captain Ryan Taylor was lost to a hip injury. On top of the injuries, the Panthers also had a boatload of bad luck against St. Mike’s. Usually reliable sniper James Gadon was victimized by the iron in the contest, ringing one shot off the post and another off the crossbar. In addition, the second St. Mike’s goal came after a Pickering defenceman fell due to a rut on the ice, allowing St. Mike’s Brian Ihnacak to score on a two-on-one break. “When things are going poorly, no matter what you put at the net, it won’t go in. That’s one of the peculiarities of the game,” noted Panthers’ head coach Jim Wilson. Against the Spirit, the Panthers trailed 2-1 in the final period. A power- play marker, however, by the Spirit later in the frame put the momentum firmly in the grasp of the hosts. The Spirit scored four more times, with Pickering managing only one more marker. Gadon and Dennis Colterman scored for the Panthers. After holding a 3-2 lead nearing the midway point of the second period against Ajax, the Panthers fell victim to injuries and a defensive lapse that would prove costly. The visiting Aja- cians scored three times later in the pe- riod, including two power-play mark- ers, to take a 5-3 advantage to the dress- ing room after 40 minutes. The teams traded goals in the final frame. Gilbert, Jackson, Mike Alexiou and Patrick Miller scored. Gadon, Colter- man, Miller, Alexiou and Brent Chan- dler drew assists. Gray was deluged with 55 shots. His counterpart, Ajax’s Brian Elliott, faced 38 shots. The Panthers play a home-and- home series against the North York Rangers (4-3-1-1) this weekend. The Panthers host the Rangers at the recre- ation complex Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Rangers return the favour Sunday, when the Panthers play in North York at 2:30 p.m. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:In addition to the losses of Gilbert, Tay- lor and Jackson,the club is also cur- rently doing without forward Cory York (broken arm),Jesse Toms (wis- dom teeth), and Mario DiClemente (broken leg)... There’s bad luck and then there is BAD luck. Newly ac- quired forward Casey Trudeau,from Seneca College, suffered a knee injury before suiting up for the Panthers this weekend... In the good news depart- ment, defencemen Shawn Coultice and Michael Freeman returned to the lineup last weekend after recovering from shoulder injuries...

Action expected to get under way following Thanksgiving weekend BY JIM EASSON Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —The mild weather of late has meant the rocks and brooms have to stay in the closet a while longer. The plan is to start the new Annan- dale Curling Club season the day after Thanksgiving. The Tuesday Afternoon Ladies’ League has scheduled a fun draw Oct. 15, but the Men’s Competitive League hopes to start playing that night for real. The warm weather has resulted in one step forwards and two steps back- wards in the ice making. A coat of white paint goes over the initial surface, and then has to be sealed before subsequent floodings, ring painting, and final floods. Barb Godfrey has returned as icemaker, and advises club curlers to check the Web site at www.home.istar.ca/~rockroll/anna.ht ml or call the office for status before heading in for games. ••• Two Pickering residents were in the win column last week at the Weston Golf and Country Club. Richard Hart and Collin Mitchell won the National Sports Curling Clas- sic Bonspiel and a share of $5,500 Sept. 29. Hart and Mitchell are members of the Glenn Howard rink, with Jason Mitchell of Brooklin rounding out the foursome. Hart and Mitchell were 1998 Olympic silver medallists in Nagano, Japan while members of the Mike Har- ris Canadian rink. ••• The annual Annandale curling clin- ic is Saturday, Nov. 2.

Not By Choice is rising to the top of the music scene, following closely be- hind the huge commercial success of fellow homegrown band Sum 41, whose faces regularly appear on MuchMusic and MTV, and whose songs accompany soundtracks such as American Pie 2 and Spider-Man. Not By Choice, comprised of Mike Bilcox, Glenn ‘Chico’ Dunning, A.J. Bovaird and Liam Killeen, signed with Linus Entertainment in June and has been working hard since. Adding to their list of impressive gigs, including two shows on the Wa rped Tour and an appearance at Edge Fest, the four are just wrapping up their first cross-Canada tour. They also released their first album in early September, ‘Maybe One Day’, with the single ‘Standing All Alone’getting plenty of play on Much. For guitarist and vocalist Dunning, his music career is heading in the right direction. “MuchMusic added the video on heavy rotation in August, which is the best there is,” he said in an interview from Regina where the band was get- ting ready for a show. “It’s at No. 20 this week on the Much countdown. It’s getting a lot of play, and the kids are buying the record and talking about us.” Dunning noted the group is basking in its current success. “It’s good fun, good times,” he said, adding they make sure there’s as much partying as hard work on the road. “We’ve decided we drank more in the last three weeks than we have in our whole entire lives,” he joked. “We always talk about how we can’t think of anything else we’d rather be doing. It makes us think we have the best job in the world.” And, he admitted it’s a job that they’re still getting to know. “(Making a video) is something we’ve never done before, obviously. We learned a lot about how it worked, how much it costs. It boggles the mind. We ’re learning as we go along,” said Dunning. They’re also getting to know about the perks of the business. “Making the video was awesome,” Dunning said, reminiscing about mem- ories of being surrounded by beautiful young women girls in the video. Although they’re not entirely sure, Not By Choice is eyeing ‘Now That You’re Leaving’ to be the next single for release, which may also be made into a video. The group wraps up its tour in To ronto Oct. 8, with an appearance on Open Mike With Mike Bullard. After that, numerous gigs loom, along with breaking into the coveted U.S. music scene. However, first they have to carve out their own existence and not just be the next Sum 41 out of Ajax. “We’re still trying hard to distin- guish ourselves from other bands,” said Dunning. “We’ll get it. We might not get the million-dollar deal right away. We’ll have to keep climbing up the ladder.” That happens every time they get on stage, he said. “We’re getting better every show.” He did note there’s been plenty of support from the members of Sum 41, who they’ve known since high school and opened for on the first half of (the Pepsi Taste Tour 2002). “We’re totally grateful for Sum 41,” he said. “We get a lot of it, we expect it, we’re from the same town, and it’s all good.” But the differences are there. “We are the same genre, but they’re more metal, brat punk,” said Dunning. “We sound a little more mature. Sum 41 had the same task of sepa- rating from blink-182, another punk band from the U.S., he said. “We just have to keep playing, and eventually we’ll just be Not By Choice.” It’s not entirely impossible for an- other local band to break into the pop punk scene from this region, pointed out Dunning. “On the east side of Toronto, there are hundreds of bands, and we’ve played with a lot of good ones. A lot of them deserve a break.” For now, though, it’s Not By Choice’s turn. Whether they succeed or not, Dunning noted, “It beats work- ing.” www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 9, 2002 PAGE B3 A/P The following establishment has applied to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a liquor licence under the Liquor Licence Act: Application for a Sale Licence Kelsey’s Restaurant 10 Kingston Road West Ajax (including 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.

And that’s exactly what Martha Godman of Os- hawa has done. The title: ‘Confessions of a Former Bill Collector,’ tells in fasci- nating, and sometimes hilari- ous, detail about trying to get debtors to pay up. Godman, 45, started out almost 20 years ago collect- ing credit-card balances for a department store. In more re- cent years, she’s tracked down those with unpaid bal- ances on cellphone accounts. One of her clients was the Ontario government in the days when it supplied student loans. Then there were the car dealership lease loans she would convince drivers to make good on and the over- due rent she collected on be- half of property management businesses. Godman’s seen it all. “I’ve done a lot of inter- esting work,” she agrees. “Another type of work I did plenty of was skip-tracing. There was a time, way before Internet and computers, when everything was done by mail or telephone. I can tell you with all honesty that some of the tricks many of today’s skip tracers and col- lectors use to find debtors were invented by me. I used to be the ‘Queen of Cons’ to get my information. “We had a quota to meet and if it wasn’t met for a week straight we’d get fired, so most tracers and collectors are forced to become very creative liars,” she continues. “And that’s the truth. “I also have dabbled in re- possessions,” she says. “Cars were my specialty as well as televisions. In addition to this I also did a lot of process serving.” But sometimes, people couldn’t pay their bills be- cause of unusual circum- stances. “I once tracked down a guy who owed a large sum of money,” recalls Godman. “My boss didn’t even care where this guy lived. He just wanted me to find him so we could slap him with a gar- nishment. I got up really early a couple of days in a row and followed this guy to work.” Her instinct, however, moved the intrepid collector to call the debtor first to let him know his wages were about to be garnisheed. “Then this poor man tells me his little kid has some dreaded type of cancer and that it was spreading like wildfire and killing his daughter. She was terminal: no ifs, ands or buts. So I felt like a huge creep for follow- ing him to work. I told him if he could get me a doctor’s letter describing the daugh- ter’s condition and how it af- fects the family’s finances I would close the file. To make the long story short, I got the letter and closed the file. My boss was livid.” Along with sad stories, Godman heard her share of funny ones. “I’ve heard all sorts,” she says, “like ‘I don’t think I owe this money be- cause I’m a co-signer on this loan, not the primary.’Anoth- er defaulter said his dog ate the bills. But perhaps the most memorable was, ‘You have the wrong guy! Do you know how many guys have the name Vassilis Scokurtel- liotiis?” (Not his real name). The real deadbeats, those who had no intention of pay- ing what they owed, would tell her, ‘Sue me, I have noth- ing for you to take.” As well as anecdotes, part of the book gives advice to consumers. “Keep private information to yourself and do not sign anything you haven’t read carefully,” she advises. “Try to stay away from living on credit. And when a bill col- lector calls, do not under any circumstances provide him with any information that he’ll able to use against you.” Visit www.outsmartyour- billcollectors.com for more about the author.
