Queen Elizabeth II, touring ex- hibits at the Festival of Ontario in To ronto Wednesday, stopped at the University of Ontario Institute of Te chnology (UOIT) booth. Her Royal Highness even lin- gered for a moment, chatting briefly with Gary Polonsky, creat- ing a royal memory for the univer- sity and Durham College presi- dent, and a moment in history that students can share for years to come. “The moment was a grand mo- ment,” he said in an interview. “It’s possible to be cynical about these things. Everyone knows she is a Royal treatment for Durham Queen Elizabeth II, being escorted in Toronto Wednesday night by Ontario Premier Ernie Eves, shares a smile with University of On- tario Institute of Technology and Durham College president Gary Polonsky (right). Mr. Polonsky gave the Queen a ‘21st-century pen’ from a ‘21st-century university’during the Festival of Ontario cele- bration at the National Trade Centre. The Ajax-based Young Singers were also among a select group of entertainers who performed at the event. See the photo on Page 29.

Durham Regional Police drug squad officers moved in to arrest a man suspected of dealing crack from a Nissan Pathfinder parked near Brock Road and Hwy. 401 at about 8 p.m. The vehicle was boxed in by po- lice and the driver plowed into a parked cruiser before fleeing on foot into a wooded area south of Picker- ing Parkway. Officers chased down and arrested the suspect after a brief struggle, police said. No one was in- jured during the collision but both vehicles were damaged. Police seized a small amount of crack cocaine and cash. Fabian Omar Ellis, 27, of Lawrence Avenue, Scarborough, has been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of crime proceeds, dangerous dri- ving and assault to resist arrest. See QUEEN’S page 4 PICKERING ––Police have charged three young men after a Pickering gas station attendant was roughed up during a robbery Monday. The 22-year- old clerk was slightly hurt when punched in the face by one of three bandits who entered the Shell station at 1670 Kingston Rd. about 10:20 p.m. The robbers scooped up a box of cigars before fleeing in a car, which was later traced to a Scar- borough residence. The Durham Regional Police robbery squad arrested three sus- pects Wednesday following in- vestigation. Police say Rinaldo Alexander Cole, 18, of McNichol Avenue, To ronto, Brian Sylvester Brand, 19, of Parcell Square, Scarbor- ough, and Christopher Lloyd Wil- son, 19, of Kenscott Road, Scar- borough, are jointly charged with robbery.

They remain high today, as students must pass the test in order to obtain a high school diploma. And because it is administered just once a year, pupils who fail have to write again the follow- ing year. The first ‘second chance’ takes place Oct. 23 and 24 when Durham Grade 10s and 11s who were unsuccessful the first time rewrite the five-hour literacy exam. To get them ready, the Durham Dis- trict School Board is taking advantage of provincial ‘learning opportunities fund’money targeted for Grade 7 to 10 students who are at risk of failing. Karen Burwell, literacy co-ordina- tor at Durham Continuing Education, said students writing the test for the second time are taking a five-week en- richment program, before or after school, to work on the skills necessary to pass. A pilot project introduced last year has been enhanced and expanded so that every willing student can take ad- vantage of it — just in time for the sec- ond writing. “They had to hit the ground running in September because kids’ (February test) results didn’t even come in until the summer,” she said in an interview. “We’ve spent the summer talking about what’s the best way to do this that will provide the best support for students with minimal stress.” The answer was 10 sessions over five weeks, beginning the third week of September. “The schools responded tremen- dously and we had 44 teachers trained in the first two weeks of September,” she said. “They are classroom teachers who have agreed they will do addition- al work.” While the focus so far this year has been on preparing students for the next literacy test, Ms. Burwell said the en- richment program can be held anytime, for students between Grade 7 and 10, as long as the required number of stu- dents, 13, signal they want the help. And the program is not school de- pendent, but based on the number of students who express an interest, since program material and training can be provided to teachers in any board school. Ms. Burwell said because elemen- tary students have the luxury of more time to prepare, a more intensive pro- gram was created for them. And given 17 of the 23 classes held in last spring’s pilot project were for elementary stu- dents, there is a lot of interest at that level, where Ms. Burwell said parents and students in greater numbers are coming to understand the importance of passing the literacy test. “I was getting comments from some of the kids in Grade 7 and 8 that, ‘I’m ready for the test; I’m pre- pared,’” she said. Ms. Burwell said in a survey of the roughly 300 students who took part in the pilot, 93 per cent of re- sponses were either positive or very positive. In an as- sessment at the pilot’s first session, 34 per cent of stu- dents demonstrated accept- able elements in writing an information paragraph, one of four types of writing they must demonstrate on the lit- eracy test. By the end of the 10 sessions, the figure had risen to 78 per cent.

But in my view the monarchy is a good thing, and I think a very good thing.” Mr. Polonsky recalled the words of Premier Ernie Eves, who in his address to the Queen, Prince Philip and the thousands of dignitaries and guests, paid tribute to the “tradition, continu- ity, stability and integrity in public life and throughout the commonwealth in difficult times” the Queen and monar- chy provides. “There are plenty worse ways of having a head of state,” Mr. Polonsky commented. The sovereign and Prince Philip, on a jubilee tour of Canada to mark the monarch’s 50 years on the throne, ar- rived at the National Trade Centre after checking into the Royal York Hotel. The facility at Exhibition Place was decked out to showcase the diversity found in the country’s most populous province. Charitable organizations, universi- ties, colleges, cultural groups and mu- nicipalities were represented. And, to create a festive feel, there were tram- poline artists, ball hockey players, and even a merry-go-round and ferris wheel for kids, who took full advan- tage of the chance to go for a ride. Durham’s The Young Singers were among a select group of performers providing entertainment, and while the acoustics were poor in the large hall, the choir was wonderful. And the 856 Pickering Air Cadets, assembled as an honour guard, saluted the monarch. “We wanted to pay homage to our commander-in-chief and that’s exactly what we did,” said Peter Johannes, the cadets’ treasurer. He noted in a last-minute change of plans, the cadets were lined up for all the dignitaries entering the event. Ini- tially, they were only to assemble as the Queen departed. “They were standing at arms for the entire festival,” said Mr. Johannes. “They were dead on the GO train (coming home).” Durham College and UOIT each had a festival booth. There was no guarantee the Queen would stop at the university booth, though the last update, about an hour before the Queen arrived, was that she probably would. “She came up and asked me about the university and I told her about it,” Mr. Polonsky recalled. “And that we were proud she was involved in the plaque (on a UOIT cornerstone, dis- played on a pedestal).” He told the Queen that perhaps one day her great-grandchildren and his grandchildren might be UOIT students together. Mr. Polonsky then handed a UOIT pen to the monarch, a pen that lights up when clicked. “Because this is a 21st-century uni- versity, I handed her a 21st-century pen,” he said. “I don’t know if the cameras cap- tured this or not, but as she and His Royal Highness left the booth, they clicked the pen and were startled to see it lit. They were greatly startled, she so much that she almost knocked another woman down. And he almost took a bit of a hop.” “In a democracy,” Mr. Polonsky quipped. “The power really is in the pen.” The Queen touched Mr. Polonsky’s hand, and he touched the cornerstone, bestowing a sort of tag-team royal blessing on the rock, inscribed to com- memorate the moment he, Bob Strick- ert, chairman of the college and UOIT board of governors, Richard Levin, UOIT’s vice-president of student ser- vices and registrar, and student council president Becky Tranter hoped would occur. And then she was gone. “It was everything we hoped it would be,” said Mr. Levin. QUEEN’S from page 1 PICKERING —Some- times finishing second is pretty good too.

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) unveiled its initial nine-program offering from its interactive 40-foot by 40-foot display booth at a university fair in Toronto recently and the response, says Mr. Polonsky, was overwhelming. “We were a hit, no question, we were a hit. The booth was just swamped, non-stop.” In fact, says Mr. Polonsky, “Based on the informal re- sponse, I am now worried about the exact opposite thing than when I woke up,” the day before the fair. Now, the president says, he is less concerned with whether the programs will draw students and more con- cerned with accommodating all those who may want to attend UOIT. “Our passion is to let people in the door. We’re already looking to see if we can boost enrolment. The govern- ment would have to be willing to let us increase and it will cost them a few extra nickels.” But, he points out, with the gov- ernment’s commitment to meeting the needs of the double cohort of stu- dents graduating this year from Grade 12 and 13, the change may be welcome. Mr. Polonsky says the university was hoping to take up to 1,000 stu- dents when it opens in September 2003. Perhaps that could be increased to as many as 1,500, he suggests. “We will only take as many as we can serve with uncompromising excel- lence.” The university’s vision was well- received by the 70,000 plus students estimated to have attended the three- day university fair, says Mr. Polon- sky. “They loved the kind of residence we’re building and why wouldn’t they? There are two students per suite with their own private bedrooms, a private washroom, a kitchen and sit- ting area in each suite.” The choice of programs the uni- versity will be offering and the high- technology emphasis seemed to be received as “exactly what is needed in the 21st century,” the president says. “It was just a totally glorious weekend.” The new south wing of Durham College, which is to be shared by the university, is just being completed this fall and construction has just begun on the first university academ- ic building, says Mr. Polonsky. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 11, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P Dental Care for Adults, Kids and Great Big Babies.

Durham university a hit during fair debut The University of Ontario Institute of Technology had plenty of interest shown by potential students last weekend at a fair in Toronto. President Gary Polonsky said there was ‘no question, we were a hit.’ I think I was meant to live in a sim- pler time when people left their doors unlocked and said ‘hello’to strangers. It is unnerving to me how increasing- ly rude and inconsiderate people are today. Earlier this year, I sent out invita- tions for my son’s birthday party. Would you believe half the people did not respond at all? I understand most people are very busy. I don’t under- stand, however, how people cannot manage to show a little consideration by taking 30 seconds out of their day to make one quick telephone call. We took the time and expense of getting extra prizes, loot bags, and pinata candy on the off chance those children whose parents did not reply might show up after all. It was diffi- cult planning a party not knowing who was attending. It was more diffi- cult fending off my son’s daily, excit- ed, “Did anyone call today to say they’re coming to my party?” Luckily, my son is thick-skinned, and the party went off without a hitch, enjoyed by all who attended. Many people, however, have gone past being inconsiderate to being downright rude. As a teenager, I worked in a fast-food restaurant. Staff was scrutinized by management to en- sure we always smiled, were always polite, and always went out of our way to treat our customers well. I visit that same restaurant with my family now, and we cannot understand why (with the rare exception) we get eye- rolling and loud, heavy sighs when we ask for something, or why we rarely see a smile or hear a ‘thank you.’ I would have been fired had I treated people the way I have experienced being treated by the staff of this estab- lishment. I always tell people if they’ve done a good job — especially since so many are quick to complain. I actually drive miles to have my pho- tos developed. Why? The staff there is courteous, friendly, and even takes time to remember their customers by name. Businesses, take note: happy customers mean repeat customers. Returning patrons’ phone calls is a great place to start. Actually being po- lite on the phone is a nice touch. It’s not rocket science, folks. Honestly, it only takes a moment to say ‘thanks’ or give a pat on the back for a job well done. And just think, it’s a well-known fact it takes fewer facial muscles to smile than it takes to frown. Go ahead and brighten some- one’s day!

I feel very strongly the land should be preserved in green space as I love living in the Whitevale area and value the serenity and enjoyment of living in a green park set- ting. However, I feel stronger about the rights of Canadian homeowners. The document that is being proposed by the North Pickering Land Exchange and Development Panel states all farmland must be used for agricultural use in perpe- tuity. I believe the vast majority of farmers want to stay on the land and farm as they do now and as they and their families have done for generations. By imposing a strict land use designa- tion, however, you are limiting the value of the property. If a farmer wants to get a mortgage on the land to purchase farm equipment, they will have limited borrow- ing power to the farm use. When the land was expropriated almost 30 years ago and designated parkland, it was very difficult for homeowners to sell their property at a fair value and this is no different. What happens if a farmer wants to put up houses for his family? What if a farmer wants to open a greenhouse operation and sell plants? Will it be called commercial and disallowed? It is my contention the Pickering growth management study and planning procedure should go forward. I note there are resi- dents of the area on both sides of this issue, but it saddens me greatly to see the farmers’ protest signs destroyed and their petition stolen off the table at the Crombie hearings. Is this how neighbours treat each other or is this another action by members of a group that has absolutely no vested interest in this issue?

Queen Elizabeth II got a taste of local hospitality Wednes- day night when Durham College/University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology (UOIT) president Gary Polonsky got to meet Her Royal Highness at the National Trade Centre in To ronto. Perhaps some future night-time Royal decree will be signed with the fancy UOIT ‘lights-up-when-clicked’pen. The Queen and Prince Philip both received a university labelled pen from Mr. Polonsky and the Royal couple showed a bit of surprise when they saw the pens actually light up. Perhaps Mr. Polon- sky, who tirelessly promotes Ontario’s newest university, has made a couple of new pen pals. For Mr. Polonsky, the chance to meet the monarch was truly moving. “The moment was a grand moment,” he simply stated. The Queen also took a moment Wednesday evening to ask Mr. Polonsky a few questions about the university, which is ex- pected to welcome 1,000 to 1,500 students in September 2003. The celebration of the Queen’s golden jubilee, marking 50 years on the throne, was also used to honour up to 20 individ- uals in each of Canada’s 301 federal ridings. So, congratula- tions are due to those hundred individuals in Durham’s five rid- ings, who have been honoured with a Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. The issue of the place of the monarchy in modern Canadian life often comes up whenever the Queen or another member of the Royal family makes a tour here. Deputy Prime Minister John Manley has been outspoken in the past in his belief Cana- da no longer needs a monarch. Others, citing the cost of carry- ing on the British Parliamentary tradition as well as their belief a multicultural 21st-century Canada bears little resemblance to the small dominion formed 135 years ago under another queen, Victoria, feel it’s time to break free of our past traditions. However, the Queen, and more importantly, her royal repre- sentatives, Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson and lieu- tenant-governors in provinces across the country, do serve an important purpose. As non-political, appointed representatives, they are in a position to bestow honours on worthy individuals, attend events with no political axe to grind, and undertake work that would otherwise fall on the backs of our prime min- ister and premiers. Life wouldn’t drastically change without the monarchy but it’s worth asking if cutting our ties with a tradition and history that has served us well through two world wars and has been a cornerstone in Canada for more than 200 years is worth it. Many in Canada would say not.

Van Lab On Premises Durham firefighters honour fallen peers Over 100,000 expected to pay respects at New York City memorial BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer DURHAM —Kirk Smythe and Do- minic Browne were both on duty at Pickering Fire Hall No. 5 the morning two airplanes slammed into the World Trade Center. “It was the same shift in New York as our shift,” Cpt. Browne said, referring to the fire rescuers at Ground Zero. “It brings home the point this could happen to any one of us at any time.” Mr. Smythe, an acting captain for Pickering Fire Services, said that sense of brotherhood has 91 fire personnel from around Durham Region boarding buses and trains this morning (Friday) to attend a memorial in New York City for the 344 firefighters who died Sept. 11, 2001. The New York fire department typically remembers fallen firefighters every October during Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 6 to 12). Last year’s cere- mony wasn’t held because it followed so soon after the tragedies. “It’s going to be very emotional. Full dress uniform,” said Mr. Smythe. The International Association of Firefighters invited its members in Au- gust to attend the memorial, which is ex- pected to attract 100,000 firefighters from around the world. Whitby leads the convoy from Durham, sending 31 firefighters. Os- hawa will have 28 representatives, while there will also be 13 from Ajax, 12 from Pickering and seven from Clarington. Ron Haines, a captain and secretary of the Local 2036, is one of the Whitby firefighters making the trip. “I’ve never been to New York City,” he said, adding this isn’t the reason he was waiting for to see the Big Apple. He said Durham firefighters will as- semble with their colleagues from around Canada at 7 a.m. Saturday morn- ing at the corner of 9th Avenue and 23rd Street in Manhattan. Canadians will make their way to Madison Square Gardens about eight blocks away for the memorial, which takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Gardens, itself, has been reserved for New York firefighters and their families. “We’ll probably visit a couple of sta- tions. Just to be there means a lot to the guys,” Mr. Smythe said. KIRK SMYTHE ‘It’s going to be very emotional. Full dress uniform...’ DURHAM — Durham’s public school board is in full compliance with an Ontario regulation designed to protect people at schools from conta- minated water, Gary Gibson told trustees at the Oct. 7 standing committee meeting. Among other things, Ontario Regulation 505/01 requires school boards to regularly test, analyse and treat drink- ing water at facilities with their own water supply sys- tem, or well. As well, if a contaminated sample of water is collected and identified, the Ministry of the Environment and med- ical officer of health must be immediately informed. Mr. Gibson, the Durham District School Board’s health and safety manager, said in a report to trustees 10 schools and facilities are cov- ered by the regulation, intro- duced in the wake of the Walkerton water tragedy. They are located in Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog townships, and in north Pick- ering. He said every facility now has both ultraviolet and chlo- rine treatment of raw water.

The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade hosts its 8th Annual Business Excellence Awards Friday, Oct. 25 at the Annan- dale Golf and Country Club. Six winners will be re- vealed at the luncheon hosted by the board and featuring guest speaker Jim Flaherty, Ontario’s minister of enter- prise, opportunity and inno- vation. “We have a terrific cross- section of the best and bright- est in the community,” said Jannette Mongeon, events committee co-chairman. “The businesses nominat- ed this year range from single proprietors to medium- and small-sized businesses.” Nominees are: Ajax Ani- mal Hospital, Anygraphics Inc., Avtel Media Communi- cations, Brown Pineo Van Kempen and Associates, Chi- ropractic Centre for Opti- mum Health, Compu-Image Inc., Copper Kettle Choco- late and Candy Co., DPI Pro- motions, Future Planning, In- surance Ideal Industries, Konica Business Technolo- gies, KX 96 FM Radio, Mar- tinek Furniture Ltd., Rod- man’s Heating and Air Con- ditioning, Shandex Sales Group Ltd., The Kitchen Garden, Warren’s Printing Place, and Pickering Audio Visual. The board invited its members in May to nominate their peers for achievements in seven areas. Nominees were then re- quired to prepare a submis- sion and provide supporting documentation. The seven areas are: out- standing customer service, entrepreneurship and innova- tion, continuous improve- ment or quality programs, community support, national or international achieve- ments, environmental efforts, and safety. Nominees didn’t neces- sarily have to excel in all areas but couldn’t have a neg- ative record in any one area. Three impartial judges re- viewed the submissions. The annual awards are held each year to celebrate Small Business Week. This year marks the first time it is being delivered in a luncheon format. “It will be an evening event next year,” said Ms. Mongeon. “It wasn’t in our timing or in our budget this year.” The luncheon is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets are going fast, added Ms. Mon- geon.

Tw o men and two women, ages 17 to 21, fell ill and were taken to Lakeridge Health Oshawa after ingesting the po- tentially deadly seeds Saturday, Durham Regional Police say. They are expected to recover. Jimson weed, which produces large white or purple trumpet-like flowers, commonly grow wild throughout On- tario between May and September. In fall, the plant’s thorny pods each produce 50 to 100 seeds, which are often used as a hallucinogenic by being smoked, taken orally, snort- ed or injected, according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Dr. Donna Reynolds, associate medical officer of health for Durham Region, said many users are not aware of the toxic potential of the seeds. “The seeds contain a number of agents including atropine, which if ingested can lead to serious health complications,” said Dr. Reynolds. Symptoms range from eupho- ria, restlessness and hallucinations, which can progress to delirium, coma and death. Other signs a per- son has ingested the seeds are dry mouth, blurred vision, dilated pupils and disorientation. Health officials are urging par- ents to take precautions to ensure children aren’t exposed to the weed. Anyone who has consumed it should seek immediate medical attention.

COME IN TODAY Learn more about managing and coping with disorder PICKERING —Here’s a chance to learn more about dia- betes. The Pickering Lions Club hosts a diabetes health fair Tues- day, Oct. 15 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at Petticoat Creek Library and Community Centre, 470 Kingston Rd. People living with diabetes in Durham Region, their fami- lies and friends are invited to talk to the Canadian Diabetes Association, pharmaceutical companies and other experts. Dr. Ian Blumer, an internist and specialist on diabetes is emcee for the evening. Guest speaker is Kyle Hud- son, a member of the Canadian Olympic cycling team. Thomas Hill, a 40-year-old amputee due to diabetes, will discuss the dangers of the disor- der. Event co-ordinator Barbara Fleming encourages couples to attend together because when a person is diagnosed with dia- betes it can affect the entire fam- ily. “There are restrictions in diet and especially if someone is di- agnosed late in life, there’s a lot of monitoring involved,” she said. “A lot of seniors, who in- dulge in sweets most of their life, are diagnosed later in life with diabetes. By then it’s diffi- cult to change their lifestyle.” So far 80 people have signed up to take part in the fair. Spaces are filling up fast, said Ms. Fleming. After years of trying to es- tablish a diabetes support group in the Ajax-Pickering area, the Pickering Lions adopted the cause last September as part of its mandate to help prevent blindness. It launched a group every third Tuesday at the Petti- coat library branch. “Attendance has been tremendous. It’s absolutely scary how many people have di- abetes,” said Ms. Fleming. To reserve a space at the fair, call 905-426-5522. Pickering diabetes fair offers experts, advice and answers Pickering councillors match 2002 United Way contributions City’s donation on behalf of citizens approximately $81,000 PICKERING —A few toonies sure add up. Pickering has pledged the equiva- lent of $2.90 from every local house- hold to the Ajax-Pickering United Wa y,making its 2003 contribution approximately $81,000. Local councillors granted the United Way’s request Monday night to provide the same level of funding in 2003 as it did this year. “The City of Pickering is an im- portant part of our team,” said 2002 campaign chairman Bruce Boyle. “As an organization we take our responsi- bility to the community we serve very seriously.” The local United Way hopes to raise $1.5 million before the end of December during its current cam- paign. It has served Ajax and Pickering for 32 years and funds 56 local pro- grams and services. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 11, 2002 PAGE 13 A/P NO! JUST GOT BE T T E R !

A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 11, 2002 www.durhamregion.com BY JANE MCDONALD Staff Writer DURHAM –– It’s panic time. Frus- tration, dread and even self-loathing set in as you frantically try to retrieve an important document from the clutter that fills your life - and closets, garage and messy filing system. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack. “It should be here,” you call out des- perately as you tear through mounds of paper (and your hair) in search of your passport before the plane leaves. Or maybe it’s that piece of paper you’ve got to get your shaking hands on before midnight’s tax deadline. And what is the principal at your kids’ new school going to think of you if you can’t produce his vaccination records? Nothing is where it’s supposed to be and time’s running out. You’re drowning in a sea of confusion. But the messy build-up of ‘stuff’ doesn’t have to take over your life. It can be tackled so it never overwhelms you again. One of the best rules of thumb is to put ‘like’ things to- gether in one area. All sports equipment can be relegated to one area of a closet or basement storage area. An actual filing system inside a filing cabinet is best for important docu- ments and those papers the taxman needs to see. But even a clearly marked shoebox placed in an area where all such papers are kept will be a start. Carol Duncan has been helping people live in comfortable, clutter-free house- holds for 25 years. She agrees putting the same kinds of things to- gether makes sense. Such focus has particularly made the task of down- sizing a lot easier. “People are moving from their big, four-bedroom houses where they raised four or even two kids,” says the busy interior designer. “Now those houses are empty with spaces full of furniture. They’re buying little bunga- lows with one floor.” This kind of challenge, fitting one’s whole life from a big house into a smaller one de- mands a zero tolerance for clut- ter. Ms. Duncan suggests seagrass baskets, ot- tomans that open up and even coffee ta- bles made of the woven material to neatly store pa- pers, books, or magazines. While stor- ing neces- sary items like bills to be paid, re- ceipts or papers waiting to be filed, a seagrass basket still looks good. Professional organizers warn you can’t organize your life in a single day, but say you can make a dent. Of course, sort- ing and organizing with re- cycling in mind keeps the planet in good order as well as the household. A good start is to line an attractive container with a paper bag into which junk mail, envelopes and any clean paper no longer needed can be tossed and even- tually added to the blue box on garbage day. Even the page you are reading now can be easily recy- cled from its basket where two overlap- ping pieces of twine can be pulled up from the bottom and neatly tied once the container fills with news- papers. A file cabinet for important pa- pers, or even a storage box with hanging files to hold documents are the goals. But it will take time to first sort things out. A house doesn’t amass clutter in one day and organizers must have the energy and concentration to plan and sort thoroughly. No one wants to throw some- thing important out by mistake, let alone misplace it. Sentimental items can cause the most trouble. Organizing doesn’t mean you have to dispose of things of sentimental or emotional value. They should be stored properly, though, in file folders or even envelopes and then in a box labelled ‘sentimental.’ If some of these treasures are photographs, they can be framed and hung on the wall. Other meaningful tokens can be arranged inside a shadow box and also displayed where they can be enjoyed, out from under piles of junk stuck in a box. A determined, if not ruthless attitude, gets rid of the things no longer in use. Closets and drawers full of clothing that hasn’t been worn for years can be bun- dled up and easily given away. Ms. Duncan has the bigger job of helping clients move into smaller houses and replacing furniture their families grew up with. “They end up having to get rid of fur- niture and replacing it with smaller pieces,” she says. And when that hap- pens, the consummate decorator has some good advice. “Choose furniture that does double duty,” she says. “Choose a console table that lets you store things under it.” Use a system when clearing the clutter Organize by getting rid of clut- ter and by storing, filing or dis- playing important items and trea- sures. It saves time and trouble. The next time you need to find a cer- tain document or slip of paper, guarantee or bill, it will be exactly where it should be. Here are some pointers from the experts: Do one section of a room, or a closet or storage area at a time. This holds true for the office at work, too. Do half the room to begin with, sorting and filing as you go. These are some of the tools you might want to have on hand: • a garbage bag for unusable or recyclable discards • a sturdy, clearly marked box for the family file (bills, receipts, important papers) • a box for what you want to keep • a box for things to give away • a box for things you need to think about. • a box for sentimental items • a magic marker • file folders • hanging files It might take a half day or a whole day, but once sorting is completed, a sense of satisfac- tion that you’re starting to bring organization to your life will make it all worth it. It wasn’t only a closet or desk cluttered up by those papers, but your life. $300 off Kenmore mid-efficiency furnace, air cleaner, air conditioner package Includes Kenmore mid-efficiency furnace, Kenmore electronic air cleaner and Kenmore 10 S.E.E.R. central air conditioner NE102H102 © 2002.

Gardening is a great stress reliever and a great work- out. By Rick Pecman Horticulturist PineRidge Garden Gallery Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons has been successfully repairing leak- ing basements for over 24 years and although he says, “I’m still learning,” he esti- mates he has been in close to 15,000 homes and seen virtually every possible leaking situation one can imagine. Gordon says, “basically, the amount of years I’ve been in this busi- ness has forced me to devel- op hundreds of different techniques to successfully solve every situation I’ve encountered”. He also says that “having an extensive background in specialty products for concrete, I know which products to use and which ones really work, that’s why I can offer a 10 year full guarantee on all the work I do”. Gordon prides his company on fast, neat and efficient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the least most reasonable cost to the customer. Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles but that is because it is absolutely nec- essary. What I won’t do is quote on an expensive exca- vation type repair when I know a simple little interior injection will solve the problem. Give me a solid concrete foundation and 90% of the time I can inject the problem with polyurethane by standing on the inside and pumping right through the wall. Block foundations should be repaired from the out- side but I try to isolate the problem within 10-15 ft. to minimize the excavation necessary.” Gordon says “home owners should invest in their foundations in much the same way they invest in their roofs. Water corrodes and very quickly. The same way a leak in your roof starts corroding the wood- en rafters, a leak through your foundation starts to undermine the very integri- ty of your home. People tend to live with the prob- lem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and possibly save yourself a fortune.” Gordon goes on to say that “no job is too big or too small and I can promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.” For a free professional eval- uation call Gordon at 905- 686-6880.

The cast of characters: a drunk driver, a concerned citizen, a pur- ported bomb-maker and a myste- rious stranger who professed to be a secret agent. After a bizarre trial, an Oshawa man who says he was working un- dercover for a national intelli- gence agency has been acquitted of stalking a woman he claimed was the target of a bomb plot. Raymond Anthony Dixon, for- merly of Nonquon Road, was found not guilty Monday of crim- inally harassing Oshawa resident Catherine Awalt, 48, on the basis he truly believed she was in dan- ger. Wearing an orange jail-issued jumpsuit, Mr. Dixon raised his arms and shouted “Justice!” He spent more than three months in pre-trial custody. Ms. Awalt trembled in the courtroom as Judge Paul Belle- fontaine read his decision, then she burst into tears when Mr. Dixon was ordered released. Court heard Mr. Dixon, a stranger to Ms. Awalt, visited her twice on June 26 at her work and home claiming he worked under- cover for the RCMP and its Na- tional Security Intelligence Sec- tion (NSI). Mr. Dixon told Ms. Awalt of an alleged plan to “bomb her car or home” because of her role in a high-profile $5-million civil suit stemming from the impaired dri- ving-related deaths of three Os- hawa residents two years ago. “He said he was protecting me against some explosives that were to be planted in my home or under my car,” an emotional Ms. Awalt testified. Mr. Dixon, a rejected Canadian Security Intelligence Service job applicant, told Ms. Awalt she was a target because of her role in a controversy over the police force’s handling of a 911 call two years ago. “Because the Durham Region- al Police didn’t answer my 911 calls... a little boy and his father got killed,” Ms. Awalt told Judge Bellefontaine. Court heard the Durham department is being sued for negligence over its handling of 911 calls she made reporting a drunk driver on July 23, 2000. The driver, Robert Bonenfant, a short time later crashed into a minivan, killing schoolteacher Donald Gainer, 49, and his 11- year-old son, Bryan. Mr. Bonenfant, 39, was also killed in the horrific crash, which led to a complaint by Ms. Awalt about the Durham police force. (An internal investigation found there was a 17-minute delay in police responding to the 911 calls. A $5-million lawsuit filed by the Gainer family against police and the estate of Mr. Bonenfant is pending, court heard.) The trial took several twists as prosecutor John Pollard and de- fence counsel Alex Sosna filed an agreed statement of facts detailing Mr. Dixon’s role in an investiga- tion into a bomb found in Cour- tice earlier this year. Court heard Mr. Dixon had di- rected NSI agents to an explosive device located on Langmaid Road, north of 7th Concession, on March 14. The tip was forwarded to RCMP bomb technicians, who determined it to be a live pipe bomb and contacted Durham po- lice. Durham’s Explosives Disposal Unit removed the device, which was detonated. According to police reports, Mr. Dixon told NSI he knew of a man he claimed was manufactur- ing explosives and that, “There were more devices and he could give information as to there loca- tion.” Mr. Dixon had a price –– he wanted $40,000 in exchange for “knowledge of the whereabouts of a munitions cache,” court heard. During one of several meetings with authorities, Mr. Dixon pro- vided a cellphone number of the suspected bomb-maker, court heard. Soon after, the NSI and Moun- ties decided the case no longer “fit into their mandate” and turned the investigation over to local police, court heard. After March 15, Mr. Dixon would become Durham’s prob- lem. “It was only a local person making bombs and nothing of na- tional security,” Durham Detec- tive Leon Lynch wrote in a report dated April 28. “They (RCMP and NSI) no longer wanted to be part of this investigation. The source was be- coming more difficult to manage and was requesting $40,000 for work that had been done by him on this case,” the report said. Durham police began assess- ing whether to use Mr. Dixon in an undercover operation targeting the suspected bomb maker, court heard. In the meantime, detectives warned him against pursuing an investigation on his own. Meanwhile, a witness who saw a man in the area of Langmaid Road where the bomb was found described a suspect with “physi- cal features similar to that of” the person Mr. Dixon identified as the bomb-maker. The witness could not positively identify the suspect when shown a photo lineup. After an April 11 meeting with a Crown attorney, Durham police abandoned the idea of enlisting Mr. Dixon for an undercover op- eration. “The source may have entered into the agent provacateur area. The motive of the source appears to be money driven and this makes the source even more volatile,” read a police report filed as an exhibit during the trial. Against detectives’ advice, Mr. Dixon continued to “advance the investigation at his own leisure,” the report said. On April 24, Mr. Dixon was told he was no longer part of po- lice plans. Mr. Dixon got upset and demanded his $40,000, court heard. He was told by Det. Lynch, “we never agreed to any amount,” and an agitated Mr. Dixon walked away from the meeting empty- handed. On June 26, Ms. Awalt re- ceived a visit from Mr. Dixon, a total stranger. Ms. Awalt was told about the bomb-making investigation and how a woman associated with the late Mr. Bonenfant, the impaired driver, was also the girlfriend of the alleged bomb-builder. The woman, Mr. Dixon said, did not like Ms. Awalt and talked about blowing up her car or home, court heard. Mr. Dixon showed Mrs. Awalt a news clipping about the bomb found in Courtice and also pro- duced a photograph of the woman, whom she recognized. “I was scared. I asked him if I was in danger now... He said he had it all under control,” she testi- fied. Ms. Awalt said she’s lived in terror since the stranger’s visits. During the trial a friend of Mr. Dixon’s testified for the defence that the woman associated with Mr. Bonenfant had made threaten- ing comments directed at Ms. Aw alt to him, specifically bomb- ing her car or home. The woman was not called by the Crown to testify at the trial and no evidence was uncovered linking her boyfriend to any bombs. The Crown claimed Mr. Dixon wanted “the fun and glory” of being a secret agent and main- tained there were no threats against Ms. Awalt. Judge Bellefontaine said the horror of having a complete “stranger obsessed with saving her life,” following and knowing where Ms. Awalt lived and worked, reasonably frightened the alleged victim. “It is my view Mr. Dixon was engaging in threatening conduct by providing information about the bomb plot to Ms. Awalt,” the judge said. However, he agreed with Mr. Sosna’s suggestion that Mr. Dixon is “morally innocent” if he believed the information to be true. “He was supplying police with certain information and some of it proved to be accurate,” said Mr. Sosna outside court. Durham man acquitted in stalking case ‘He said he was protecting me against some explosives that were to be planted in my home or under my car.’ –– Catherine Awalt This Week Rolling Stones Concert NAME: ____________________ ____________________ PHONE: ____________________ Draw: Mon.

TO ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS OR SERVICE IN THIS SECTION PLEASE CALL AJAX 683-0707 It is sunset in Negril and we find ourselves high on the cliffside terrace of Rick’s Cafe, again. Sunset is a daily “happening” in Negril. It is the bewitching hour — a time of celebration for the quickly as- sembling crowd. Rick’s Cafe is wel- come turf for a bronzed and lovely beachcombing group, comprising Ja- maicans, transients, and visitors alike who sit at this bar night after night just to be part of whatever is happen- ing. And it is cocktail hour, to boot. At Rick’s however, showing up for sunset — the everyday combustion of sun, sky and sea — always leads to so much more. For those who find them- selves so overcome with awe and eu- phoria, you are invited to honour these sensibilities by hurling yourself off Rick’s cliffside terrace and into the deep, swirling, and sobering sea. Most crawl out, climb back to the top and wait in an even longer lineup to do it again. The euphoria thing here is catching. Insiders agree, though, there’s more happening at this land- mark bar than readily meets the eye. Rick’s always did attract the most interesting types, that is, the barstool intellectuals who, with the help of their Red Stripe beer, over-proof rum, and countless big splashes in tribute to the sun, head here to contemplate the world. This is where you’ll discuss every- thing from Jamaican Olympic con- tenders to the next election. You’ll talk about music, bobsledding, and the latest, always-emotional football scores of the nation’s Reggae Boyz. Indifference, you’ll discover, has never been part of the Jamaican cul- ture. Infectious good humour, howev- er, always has. Negril and its splendid bright- white coastline is home to a bevy of mid-range and upscale resorts, in- cluding Sandals, Beaches and Super Clubs. Tour operators can also get you to Montego Bay, and other resort areas of the island. In Ocho Rios for exam- ple, stay at the extraordinarily lush, adults-only, all-inclusive, Enchanted Garden. This resort is a sprawling property in the tropical hillsides of Jamaica, with what seems like more waterfalls, than tourists. At Enchanted Garden, it is far too tranquil for wild jumps at sunset however. Tr avel agents have more informa- tion on Jamaica. Resort packages to Sandals and Super Clubs, Legends and Samsara are featured, along with a wide variety of other resort destina- tions — News Canada A/P PAGE 26 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 11, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Marlin Travel *WITH EVERY QUALIFIED BOOKING BY OCT 31 ✦MP3-CD Playback from Samsung ✦Pair of Talkabout rechargeable two-way radios from Motorola EXCLUSIVE FORLOYAL CUSTOMERS!

BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —A teenage city actress is back for another season on the small screen at ‘Degrassi High’. Andrea Lewis was one of the kids on the series ‘Degras- si: The Next Generation’ which debuted last season as an updated series to the popu- lar original. Then, the Pickering resident had a recurring role of ‘Hazel’, the best friend of ‘Paige’ (played by Lauren Collins), who attends the fictional school. In the second season, which debuted last Sunday and con- tinues to be shot in Toronto, Andrea is happy to report her role has been expanded to re- curring regular status. As well, her character now sports a sur- name — Aden. “The series has such a large cast that it’s hard to fit all 17 cast members into a half-hour show,” she noted. As for Hazel, Andrea said she and Paige continue to be inseparable friends, although that’s not necessarily a good thing for their rivals at the school. “She’s more involved with her friend Paige; they’re al- ways together,” she said. “We’re the popular girls in school. They’re still very snot- ty and don’t include many peo- ple in their circle of friends.” As with any series, ‘De- grassi: The Next Generation’ has grown and evolved to in- clude some sensitive subject matter. While the first season dealt with teen issues, this season, she said, takes a harder edge. The topics include bulimia, racism and date rape. “Last year, it was more about family, but this year we’re dealing with some real issues,” said the Grade 12 stu- dent at St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School. Shooting for the new season began in Toronto in May, with Andrea’s days ranging from four to 12 hours. One day is set aside for rehearsals, followed by four days of shooting an episode. The 22-episode sea- son is to be completed by No- vember. When she’s not shooting ‘Degrassi: The Next Genera- tion’, she has been working on other projects. Most notably, she recently did a guest spot on the series ‘Soul Food’ for the U.S. Showtime cable net- work. Although busy with the se- ries and school, she is still able to pursue a music career as a singer/songwriter. A singer since age four, she plans to continue her pursuit of a record deal. “I’m still writing and per- forming as much as I can. I’m still trying to work things out in L.A. I’m trying to get my music as much exposure as I can,” she said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, October 11, 2002 PAGE 27 A/P Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 11, 2002 905-426-6242 Located in Wal-Mart Ajax OPEN Mon. - Fri. 9 A.M. - 9 P.M.

Friday, October 11th - 8 PM Young musicians benefit from community leader’s giving ways DURHAM — The Oshawa- Durham Symphony Orchestra (ODSO) is honouring the late Jim Souch, a Durham community leader, by establishing a scholarship for stu- dents planning to study post-sec- ondary music. Before his sudden death March 7, Mr. Souch had been a member of the symphony board for four years and was its 1999/00 chairman. “When you think of the name Jim Souch you equate that with commit- ment to community,” said ODSO board chairman Sherry Bassin in an- nouncing the scholarship. “Jim was well-known and well-respected in our own community and the land far be- yond. “His care and concern for the well- being of his community has been well-documented. During his associa- tion with the Oshawa-Durham Sym- phony Orchestra, his service and commitment in no small way has re- sulted in the orchestra’s tremendous audience growth this past season.” The award will be available for the first time in the spring of 2004, and will go to a deserving student from Durham Region who has shown ex- cellence in music and is furthering his or her academic music studies at uni- versity or college. All Durham high schools will be informed of the availability of the award in the fall of 2003 along with the criteria for consideration. High school teachers will nominate candi- dates with a selection panel appointed by the ODSO board tasked to make the final decision. The value of the scholarship has not been set, and will be funded sole- ly through donations from businesses, corporations and private individuals. All donations will be acknowl- edged and receipts made available for income tax purposes. The 55-member orchestra, under conductor and music director Marco Parisotto, is made up of both profes- sional and amateur musicians from throughout Durham. DURHAM ––Elspeth McFadden is a ‘tell-it-like-it- is’ author when it comes to writing for kids. No hocus- pocus, flying-broomstick es- capism for her young readers. The children in her book, ‘Wisdom of the Solomons,’ face real situations the way real kids do in real life. Told with eight- to 12- year-olds in mind, the Whit- by writer’s first book is now on local bookstore shelves. ‘Wisdom of the Solomons’is a collection of stories about the members of the Solomon family: two working parents who manage to be involved in the lives of their four chil- dren. Like most good parents, mom and dad keep the kids busy (ergo out of trouble). These children are being raised in a Christian home, but they still face the same challenges and moral dilem- mas confronting most kids. “It’s not evangelical,” Mc- Fadden says of her 127-page, soft-cover book. “It’s just about the kinds of things kids come up against.” The book is divided into two parts: one for boys and one for girls. The part for boys has stories about bullies, while the girls’portion of the story delves more into friend- ships. The local teacher, who has lived in Whitby for 20 years, has received praise from some young readers. “One wee lassie who comes to my church told me, ‘I’ve read your book 10 times.’ I was thrilled.” There are two more books –– an adult novel and a Christmas book for children –– ready to be sent out to publishers. But for now, Mc- Fadden is busy distributing ‘Wisdom of the Solomons,’ making sure local stores and libraries have it in stock. The success the book has enjoyed so far is shared with the single parent’s son, 11- year-old Toby. “My son is a man of few words,” she said. “I read the stories to him as I wrote them and he told me when they sounded real or if I needed to rewrite them. My nieces and nephews helped me, too. That’s what makes mine dif- ferent. It’s about what kids are really into now. My book is about real kids doing real stuff and dealing with real life.” Agincourt Chrysler Masey Gutkin HOURS Monday - Thursday 9am - 9:30pm Friday 9am - 6pm Saturday 9am - 6pmDVP/404VICTORIA PARKKENNEDY RD.McCOWAN RD.FINCH AVE.

Dwight scored on this play in the second half to lead the Rams to a 21-0 victory. Ajax High posted its first win of the senior football season at Ajax High Wednesday afternoon. Rams tough out first win Offence ‘the key’ in Ajax high’s 21-0 football defeat of Notre Dame Cougars AJAX —In the battle of the newest senior football teams in the league, it was the Ajax High School Rams who emerged with their first win. The Rams downed the Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School Cougars 21-0 at the south Ajax school Wednesday after- noon in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) ac- tion. The Cougars, meanwhile, are still in search of their first LOSSA win, falling to 0-3. Rams’ head coach Derek Rushton said it was a big relief for the team to get a win under its belt, given the dedication and work the players have put into the program. “It was huge for us — a real confidence booster,” said Rush- ton. “Both teams are in their first year and we both started at the same spot.” Ruston noted it was his team’s offence that rose to the occasion, especially the offensive line, which gave the backfield plenty of holes to run through. “The key was our offence,” said Rushton. “Our line is young and inexperienced, so our offen- sive coaches put in a new system and it worked well for us.” Chris Laity and Riccardo Biggs scored first-half touch- downs for the Rams. Rohan Reynolds booted a convert. In the second half, quarter- back Dave Dwight scored a touchdown and Adam Liddle added a two-point convert. Ajax High enjoys a bye week next week, before travelling to Pickering to meet defending LOSSA champion St. Mary Mon- archs Friday, Oct. 25 at 1 p.m. Meanwhile, the Cougars host the Dunbarton High School Spartans Thursday, Oct. 17 at 1:30 p.m. Telus Lightning drops four straight to open season Struggling women’s club outscored 24-7 in first four NWHL games DURHAM —The Telus Lightning are struggling in the early going of the 2002 National Wom en’s Hockey League (NWHL) season. The team’s struggling to find some healthy bodies, struggling to find the scoring touch, and strug- gling to get that elusive first win after four losses to open the regu- lar season. The Lightning dropped a 4-2 loss to the Thunder in Brampton Wednesday night. No scoring de- tails were available. The loss followed two defeats on the road against Quebec oppo- nents last weekend. Telus fell 6-3 to Montreal Wingstar in Montreal Sunday afternoon and 4-1 to the Quebec Avalanche Saturday at the Mont St-Antoine Arena, near Montreal. Telus (0-4-0-0) is at the bottom of the league’s Central Division, tallying a paltry seven goals, while allowing 24. When you add injuries to key players to a team that’s already young and inexperienced, you have a recipe for a slow start, noted new head coach Peter Per- ram. “It has been difficult to main- tain our depth,” he said. “Some- times a veteran team can pull it off, but when you’re young and in- experienced with a short bench it doesn’t always work out.” Currently in sick bay are: for- ward Katie Quinn and defencemen Jennifer Kearney and Sandy Hus- tler, all out with undisclosed med- ical conditions, and forward Gwen Kilfoy, still out with the lingering effects of knee surgery in August. Expected to be added to the in- jured list is rookie forward Jackie Jarrell who took a wicked slash to her foot during Sunday’s game against Montreal. Perram said it could either be a deep bruise or a fracture. The injuries and subsequent lack of bench depth had a direct effect on the loss to the Wingstar. Dressing only three forward lines, the team carried the play to their Montreal hosts for as long as it could, before the Wingstar took control in the late stages. “I think we had the majority of the play. But, unfortunately, every- thing ran out of the tank,” said Perram. Telus held a 3-1 lead late into the second period when Wingstar scored to get within one goal at the end of 40 minutes. Midway through the third period, Montreal tied the game at 3-3. The clinching goal was scored late in the third. They added an empty-net marker with 29 seconds to go and an in- surance marker with only 16 sec- onds remaining. Affiliated player Lesley Zim- mer led the way with a two-goal effort for Telus. Christianne Trem- ills had the other marker, with as- sists to Brenda Reynolds, Erin Rourke and Jarrell. Against the Avalanche, the hosts scored two unanswered goals in the second period, includ- ing one of the power play, to take a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. The Av alanche went up 3-0 early in the third before Telus finally hit the scoresheet on a power-play mark- er by Jessica Allen, assisted by Rourke. Quebec added another in- surance marker later in the frame. Telus returns to NWHL action Sunday when it meets the Missis- sauga Ice Bears at the Oakville Ice Sports at 1:15 p.m. The Lightning’s next home game is Tuesday, Oct. 15 when they host the powerhouse Beatrice Aeros at the Ajax Community Centre at 7:30 p.m. Tw o unanswered goals lift Rangers past Ajax AJAX —The Ajax Axemen gave up two late goals in losing to the host North York Rangers in ju- nior ‘A’ hockey action in Toronto Wednesday night. Leading 3-2 early in the third period, the Axemen allowed the Rangers to score twice and pull out a 4-3 victory in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action. It was the second consecutive loss for the Axemen (2-7-1, eighth place in the South Conference standings), who dropped a 5-1 de- cision to the Aurora Tigers on home ice last Sunday. North York’s Jason Droddy opened the scoring at the 4:57 mark of the first period. The Axemen, however, tied the game at 1-1 with 57 seconds re- maining in the frame when Jason Wyles scored from Matt Wyles and Steve Brouwer. The Rangers took a 2-1 lead into the dressing room after 40 minutes on a goal by David McKenna. The Axemen opened the third period with a bang when Adam Weinberg scored just 1:03 into the frame, assisted by Jordan Ross and Justin Boone. The Ajacians took a 3-2 lead 1:34 later on a power-play marker by Mike Kost- ka, assisted by Wyles and Wein- berg. North York’s Tino Ragozzo scored the tying goal 5:49 into the third period. With 4:10 remaining in the game, Rangers’ James Snetsinger scored the winner. The Axemen return to OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action Sunday when they host the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Ajax Community Centre.

DURHAM — Many of the top long-distance high school runners in the region competed at the Pre-LOSSA Invitational Cross-Country Meet over the weekend. Hosted by Pickering High School at Beverly Morgan Park in Pickering — site of the Lake Ontario Secondary School Ath- letics (LOSSA) Cross-Country Championships later this month — the course proved challeng- ing to all participants, which in- cluded elementary and high school athletes from across Durham Region. Among the top performers was Amber Cushnie from Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering, who won the midget girls’ title by finishing the 2.05- kilometre course in 12:02 min- utes. She was followed by Car- ley Dart from Whitby’s Father Leo Austin in 12:20 and Kelly Laing from Oshawa’s Monsign- or Paul Dwyer in 12:54. Lauren Simeson of Dwyer won the junior girls’ crown in 16:09 over the 4.10-km dis- tance, ahead of teammate Laura McLean, who finished second in 18:09.

There are thousands of people from 45–60 years plus who have kept their skills up to date, but through no fault of their own were laid off or down sized during the past ten years of economic readjustment. Many experienced workers would like to continue to work beyond nor- mal retirement, but are penalized by mandated requirements that tend to push the individual aside. The irony is that within the next ten years we will find ourselves struggling to keep older workers in the labour force as the baby-boom generation ages and the strain on pen- sion plans becomes evident. To some extent things are changing al- ready as employers are finding it difficult to fill the positions they now have vacant. Even so there persists an age bias in our culture and many skilled workers 45 years and over never get passed the first interview because the person interviewing them is much younger than they are. The Experienced Workers Information Network EWIN would like to change all that and is working to provide experienced workers with a support network that includes sharing information about re- sources and training opportunities and offers encouragement to keep trying. EWIN will also reach out to employers to share information on services currently available to them and focus attention on the ex- perience and dedication mature workers can bring to their operations. Anyone looking for more information on the Experienced Workers In- formation Network EWIN can now access an interactive web site at www.ewin-durham.on.ca. An information brochure can be mailed out to those who do not have access to the web by calling Joan, Gary or Donna at (905) 579-1821.
