Despite the objections of Crown counsel Dawne Way, Judge David Stone gave Dr. Douglas Frederick Waller a con- ditional sentence of two years less a day, to be served under virtual house arrest. The Durham Region physi- cian pleaded guilty last month to sexual interference with a 13- year-old boy in a department store washroom three years ago, and to sexually assaulting five former patients at his Oshawa clinic. The former Pickering res- ident has since resigned from the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, meaning he can no longer practice medicine. During sentencing submis- sions the prosecutor argued Dr. Waller deserved to spend two years in jail, given the nature of the sex assaults. “The Crown opposes a con- ditional sentence in this matter. A conditional sentence is not ap- propriate,” said Ms. Way. The crimes relating to his pa- tients involved “repeated acts of breach of trust by a physician,” spanning more than a decade, she said. “Dr. Waller’s position as physician allowed him to ex- ploit these vulnerable young men,” she said. “Indeed, this is reprehensible conduct.” The specialist was charged in July 1999 with sexual interfer- ence for engaging in sexual acts with a male under the age of 14 in the men’s washroom at The Bay department store in the Os- hawa Centre. The teen reported the encounter to store personnel and subsequently Durham Re- gional Police. Dr. Waller was ar- rested several hours later. The publicity surrounding the case led to complaints by 13 patients who reported being groped and fondled by Dr. Waller over the past 25 years.

House arrest for MD in sex assaults BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —These days families come in all shapes and sizes. Of Durham Region’s urban areas, Ajax is a one of many ex- amples that come complete with different colours and cultures, different races and religions — different families. “This is a beautiful neigh- bourhood,” said Margaret Liv- ingston, who lives in north Ajax with her husband Everton and their three kids. “It’s a multira- cial neighbourhood. Black peo- ple live over here, Italians on one side, Greek people on the other. The neighbourhood is wonderful.” Margaret, 37, and Everton, 39, moved to Ajax more than six years ago from Toronto. Everton moved to Toronto from Jamaica when he was nine. He is black. Margaret came to Toronto from Alberta in her 20s. She is white. The two met at a party during Toronto’s Caribana, an annual festival celebrating Caribbean culture. “I might have known maybe three black people in high school,” she said. “Alberta really is redneck country.” On the contrary, in the multi- cultural metropolis that is Toronto, Everton said he grew up around white people. Conse- quently, dating a white woman felt fairly natural. “I didn’t have much of a problem with it,” he explained. “I grew up with a lot of white friends.” The two say they face a lot of challenges as a married couple, but no more than any other. Sara Abraham, an assistant professor in the sociology de- partment at the University of Toronto, said interracial rela- tionships are a complicated area, and one with particular pres- A.J.

Pickering helps fill food bank shelves Altona Forest considers modifications PICKERING —Altona Forest Public School may be on two school calendars in 2003. After parents expressed inter- est in a modified calendar for the school, the school community council voted to look into the issue further, and on Oct. 23 an information night will be held so parents can learn more about it. A modified school year has the same number of instruction- al days as a regular school year. However, the long summer holi- day is shortened, and as a result holidays are spaced more evenly throughout the year. “Both calendars would be of- fered; it’s not an either-or op- tion,” principal Trudy Deacon said in an interview. She said people are willing to explore something if they think it’s a benefit to their kids. And Ms. Deacon said the research shows that for special-education students and pupils who require more review time, summer time is often “lost time”, when they forget a lot of what they have learned. A modified school calendar might feature five weeks of summer holidays, with students returning to school after the Au- gust long weekend. And while students on the alternate calen- dar share the same Christmas holidays as other students, there’s a two-week break before that, and another two weeks for March break. PICKERING ––Non-per- ishable food items are pouring in to the Thanksgiving Food Drive, which wraps up Satur- day, Oct. 19 at St. Paul’s on the Hill Food Bank. “We have a mountain of food. We’ll need crews in tonight to help put it away,” says volunteer Pat Bennett. Donations can be dropped off at grocery stores in Picker- ing and the IGA at 955 West- ney Rd. in Ajax. Items are also being ac- cepted at Pickering’s three fire halls. “The public has been great this year,” says Ms. Bennett, who puts beans and canned stew high on the food bank’s wish list this fall.

The victim told Durham Re- gional Police a man rode up on a bicycle, put his arm around her and began making verbal sexual ad- vances about 9:35 p.m. The attacker then groped the woman, who screamed.The sus- pect fled. Police are investigating a pos- sible connection with a man arrest- ed nearby at 2 a.m. Friday for im- paired driving following a hit-and- run.The man, who was in a stolen van, was wanted for being unlaw- fully at large, said police, who are continuing to investigate. Local man struck and killed by GO train AJAX —A 61-year-old Ajax man was killed Monday morning after being struck by a westbound GO train travelling 80 kilometres an hour. The accident happened at 9:19 a.m. at a crossing at Beechgrove Drive, near Copperfield Road in Scarborough, Toronto Police Ser- vices Constable Tom Marshall says. The crossing is level and the signal lights were working, Const. Marshall adds. The site of the accident is “des- ignated a high-speed track” and is used by GO and CN Rail, he notes. “At this point, we have no infor- mation on why he was there,” Const. Marshall says.“Witnesses say nothing unusual was ob- served.” The man was walking alone, he adds.The man’s name is not being released at the request of the fami- ly, Const. Marshall says. GO spokesman Karen Majerly says service along the Lakeshore line was affected all morning be- cause of the incident. “There were delays all morning. Six or seven different train runs were affected. It went right through until about 1 (p.m.),” Ms. Majerly adds. The train involved was at the scene for about three hours. See SCHOOL page A5 sures for the couple. She added atti- tudes, however, are getting better all the time, most noticeably in urban areas. “On the whole, there is a secular de- cline in racist attitudes towards interra- cial relationships, since there is a de- cline in racism,” she said. “Although my students tell me that when they step out- side Toronto with their boyfriends and girlfriends they get hostile looks that they never experienced in the city.” Richard Davidson, president of the Multicultural Council of Durham, said he sees more and more interracial cou- ples in the region’s different communi- ties — and that’s a good thing. “It has become more prevalent,” said the 27-year Courtice resident. “You see more interracial couples walking the streets in Durham. It has become more and more accepted. Will it stay that way? Only time will tell. On the whole though, I think it’s a good thing for Durham and it’s good for society as a whole. There is less and less racial conflict and more harmonious communities. That’s the end result we’re striving for.” The Livingstons see it much the same way. They have been married for 12 years and together for 17. Although they currently run into very little in the way of racism, in the beginning of their relationship, living in Toronto, Margaret said she ran into a few bad attitudes. “A lot of black women would make comments to me,” she said. “They would give me dirty looks or say ‘what are you doing stealing my man’. I don’t get that as much now, though.” In fact, the couple says living in Ajax may have even improved the situation. “We haven’t come across anything negative,” said Everton. “Not in Ajax. I’ve never come across someone acting negative towards me and I think there are a lot of mixed couples here.” The Livingstons say their children play with several others from mixed families at their church and schools and that they have contact with other inter- racial couples around Durham. If they hadn’t realized it already, it took only one trip south to help the Liv- ingstons appreciate how tolerant their home town is. Driving to Florida through some of the southern United States, Margaret said the looks they received from some locals seemed less than friendly. “They weren’t too keen on us down there,” she said. “They really did noth- ing but stare, but it made us appreciate living in Ajax. We’ve never had a prob- lem here.” That’s just the way Paul Pakyam aims to keep it as well. The chairman of the Town’s race re- lations advisory committee, Mr. Pakyam said he agrees with the Liv- ingstons — Ajax really is tolerant. “I tend to agree because Ajax is so multicultural and so diverse, interracial couples are becoming more and more acceptable,” he said. “It’s such a young town, things are just much more accept- able.” The committee works with the Town, helping to make Ajax even more tolerant and diverse. Recent initiatives include developing a race-relations policy, which the Town encourages new businesses to accept, and Mr. Pakyam said he is currently working with local police to develop better relations with minorities. “We have to be proactive in develop- ing a culture of inclusion and accep- tance in the town,” he said. “Ajax is a growing town, not only in size, but in diversity and in developing that culture of acceptance and inclusion as a part of it.” The committee also runs a racial dis- crimination hotline through the town at 619-AJAX ext. 366 and is on the Inter- net at www.ajaxracerelations.ca. Ms. Abraham said the families of in- terracial couples can often be the source of strife and the reason a culture of in- clusion and acceptance still has some walls to climb. In many cultures, she said there is a great deal of hostility toward daughters dating outside the ethnic group or sometimes even dating at all. As a re- sult, many women resort to surrepti- tious methods or adopt these views themselves. The Livingston’s families have learned to accept who they are, al- though it hasn’t always been easy. “I told my mom during an airport stopover. I was like ‘this is my boyfriend’. But, there had been mixed couples in my family before. In fact, my mother’s sister was in a mixed mar- riage,” Margaret said. “She wasn’t against it or anything but she was con- cerned...I think it bothered my mom a bit at first. When she first heard I was dating a black man her reaction was like ‘oh my God, what if you have children? Later on down the road two black peo- ple in your family could end up having a white baby’, but I told her that was nothing to worry about right now.” In the end, her family came around in a big way. “They accepted me as I am and that’s it,” said Everton. “Her family are really great people.” “My mom loves him so much,” added Margaret. Everton said he grew up in a strict and disciplined household, while Mar- garet did not. It has remained one cul- tural difference the two have had to face. Margaret said while she feels Everton’s family has come to embrace her, she admits there were some diffi- culties. The couple believes things are a bit easier for their generation in terms of facing prejudice. And, they say their children should have it even easier. “I think the older the couple the more problems they may have faced, but now, like for my kids, there will be very lit- tle,” said Everton.

Ontario Problem Gambling Helpline – 1-888-230-3505 The News Advertiser General 905-683-7363 Love is all in the family LOVE from page A1 LYONS, FRANCE ––It’s the dawn of a new era in fusion energy research and it begins with ITER. That’s the message delegates of the 19th International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Fusion Conference received yesterday morning as they filed in from just about every part of the globe. Delegates from Durham and Iter Canada are here in France’s third largest city, to sell Clarington and the Region as the place to locate the $12- billion energy research and develop- ment project. Their target market is the interna- tional community which ultimately will contribute to the project and in some cases, uproot families and move to the selected site. The conference is a chance to be seen by the grassroots physicists and academicians as well as government bureaucrats involved in the negotiations and selection process. It’s a chance to dispel the myth the GTA is a cold, snow-filled climate similar to Whitehorse. It’s also an op- portunity to reassure delegates our federal government is in full support of the project, a message that for some reason is not getting through loud and clear. There are four possible sites for the project: Canada, Spain, France and Japan. All submitted offers and delegates are here vigorously marketing them. It will be up to the participating part- ners currently composed of the Euro- pean Union, Japan, the Russian Fed- eration and Canada to choose the best site for the job. At the opening ses- sion of the conference Monday, the chairman of Iter International, Dr. Robert Aymar, announced those part- ners could soon include China, Korea and the United States. If that hap- pens, it means the high cost of fusion energy research is about to come down as the bill gets divided up among more players. It also means pooling of strong fu- sion research in those countries. In the race to find a cleaner, sustainable, large-scale energy source by the sec- ond half of this century when many current energy resources could be de- pleted, all collaboration is most wel- come. Ostensibly, participants at the con- ference this week aren’t here to de- cide on ITER. They are discussing cutting edge technology in fusion sci- ence. Their discussions relate to the lat- est in plasma burning and cooling, stellerators and tokamaks. Despite language barriers, participants con- verse in a universal scientific mumbo jumbo lost on the few laypersons along for the political and promotion- al aspects of the conference. But the real story here is clearly ITER. After almost two decades of dis- cussions, research and planning, the fusion community now believes this opus is really going to happen. And so, on the edge of the biggest international scientific collaboration next to the space station, each con- versation ultimately winds its way back to ITER and where to put it. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 16, 2002 PAGE A3 A/P DURHAM'S FINEST AUTOMOTIVE DETAILING FOR OVER A DECADE • CAR ALARMS • REMOTE STARTERS $199 • SCOTCHGUARD • WAX • COMPOUND • POLISH • CUSTOM UPHOLSTERYLEATHER • BOAT TOPS • TONNEAUS • SPOILERSSHIFT KNOBS $65 • WOOD DASH KITS •BROKEN WINDSHIELD? $300.00 Deductible AUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY We Pay Up To 1010 Brock Road South (Northwest corner at Bayly)831-4290 SPEEDY GLASS NETWORK Fall Specials • Rust Proofing • Remote Car Starters and Alarms Investment Planning Counsel of Canada Financial Planning Professionals 50% SALE!

Fly in for airport meeting tonight PICKERING —Learn tonight about the plans for a potential re- gional reliever airport on the fed- eral lands in north Pickering. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) hosts a drop-in public in- formation session from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Claremont Community Cen- tre, 4941 Brock Rd. This is the sec- ond in a series of public informa- tion sessions being held in Pickering and around Durham Region, said Peter Gregg, a GTAA spokesman. “It’s an oppor- tunity for us to tell the local com- munity what we’re doing, share with them the details of the financial assess- ment and discuss the timeline of our planning,” he said. The federal Transport Min- istry asked the GTAA in April 2001 to help de- termine if an air- port is needed in the future in north Pickering. The GTAA plans to report its findings to the federal government in late 2006 or early 2007. Last month, the GTAA found the idea of a fu- ture airport eco- nomically feasi- ble through its own financial analysis. “Since we would be the ones to be asked to build and operate the airport, we wanted to know if it was economi- cally feasible first,” Mr. Gregg said. For more in- formation on this and other upcom- ing meetings, call the GTAA site of- fice at 905-619- 4822 or visit the Web Site at www.gtaa.com. BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Safe drinking water legislation about to be introduced by the Province is being pushed through before adequate consultation with municipali- ties, suggests Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “I am shocked by the approach to consultation taken by your ministry on the development of this important policy instrument,” Mr. Anderson wrote to Chris Stockwell, Ontario’s minister of environment. The chairman criticized the 30-day consultation period provided to municipalities by the Province for comment that ended on Sept. 30. Thirty days is the minimum requirement for consultation under the Environmental Bill of Rights. But John Steele, spokesman for the ministry of the environment (MOE) says this is just one of many opportunities municipalities have for input. Munici- palities and the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario (AMO) were invited to comment during hearings held by Justice Dennis O’Connor in Toronto and throughout the province as part of the Walkerton Inquiry and the development of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Mr. Steele says. Municipalities will have a further op- portunity to comment when the legisla- tion is introduced for first reading in the legislature, Mr. Steele adds. The proposed legislation will add to Regulation 459 brought into effect in August 2000. Durham’s Director of Environmental Services, Ken Thompson, says the Re- gion’s main concern with the proposed legislation is having more “meaningful and adequate conversation and dia- logue” on this next round of legislation than it had prior to the August 2000 reg- ulations taking effect. Durham has recently been charged with infractions of reporting obligations under Regulation 459 and, if found guilty on all charges and penalized to the fullest extent,could face maximum fines of up to $91.75 million. A court date has been set for Oct. 28. Regulation 459 also required munic- ipal water providers, including Durham Region, to undertake audits on their sys- tems to ensure they met with new stan- dards. As a result of audit recommenda- tions by an independent consultant, Durham will be investing $23 million in capital upgrades over the next three to four years to its water systems, says Mr. Thompson. Although he does not anticipate the newest legislation will add more capital costs, Mr. Thompson believes more staff will have to be hired to ensure the Re- gion is in compliance will all the pro- posed regulations. However, until more details on the legislation are provided, the true impact on the Region is still un- clear, he says.

The dealer- ship is in the City of Pickering’s hamlet of Green- wood, at 3260 Hwy. 7 (east of Westney Road). Durham Re- gion’s car safety seat committee hosts check events through- out the year in Durham munici- palities. Parents or guardians are in- vited to bring the car safety seat(s) they use to keep their youngster safe while on the road to an event, where trained volunteers can provide informa- tion on the proper use of safety seats. There is no charge for the service. Seat check events in Durham have revealed that three out of every four car safety seats are not used correct- ly. The event goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more in- formation, call 1- 800-841-2729. Winchester and C.E. Broughton pub- lic schools in Whitby are the only board schools that offer a modified calendar. Ms. Deacon said between 160 and 175 students in varying grades are re- quired to run a successful modified pro- gram. The school council information night features a presentation from Winchester Public School’s community council chairman, whose children are enrolled in the modified program. The meeting takes place at the school, 405 Woodsmere Cres., at 6:30 p.m. Under terms of a plea-bargain agree- ment, he admitted to assaulting five pa- tients. The remaining charges were withdrawn. All the victims were men in their late teens or early 20s, court heard. The assaults all occurred during exams from 1987 to 1996. “The (victims) did not consent to being touched in that manner and the touching was not part of a bona fide medical examination,” said Ms. Way. Court heard the victims were being treated for a variety of ailments includ- ing depression, anxiety attacks, seizures, headaches and epilepsy. Lawyers representing Dr. Waller said he has already paid a steep price for his conduct and that sending the 62-year- old to jail would be excessive. Once respected as a leader in the medical profession, “a very distin- guished career” is now in ruin, said de- fence counsel Bernie O’Brien. Judge Stone, describing Dr. Waller as a former “star neurologist” reduced to professional disgrace, said he accepted his guilty plea as a show of remorse. Under the terms of his conditional sentence, Dr. Waller must remain inside his residence 24-hours a day, except for medical appointments, counselling, church services or medical emergencies. He is permitted to go shopping on Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. For the next two years and a three- year probation period to follow, he is banned from the Oshawa Centre and ap- plying for readmission to the College of Physicians. He is also forbidden from being alone with a male under 14. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 16, 2002 PAGE A5 P After Shedding 49 Lbs., Stacey Harrington Says … “Hypnosis Put Me Back in Control!” HYPNOSIS CENTRES “Where Results Happen” Positive Changes My name is Stacey Harrington. I live with my husband, Keith and our son, Bryce. We attend Ascension Catholic Church. I am a homemaker and a part-time bookkeeper. This is my true story. I will tell you how I dropped 49 pounds in five short months. And how I made my marriage sizzle. I’m sharing my story because I know that if you are reading this, you may be feeling just as miserable and desperate as I was only a year ago... “So when’s your baby due?” my husband’s uncle asked, staring at my bulging stomach. “I’m not expecting,” I said, my cheeks burning with shame. When I got home, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Tears streamed down my cheeks. It was true. I was that fat. “I couldn’t stop eating...” I had become overweight during my first year of college. I gained the ‘Freshman 15.’ My weight kept adding on from there. In desperation, I started dieting. My weight went up and down like a yo-yo. Glimmer of Hope I was impressed with Positive Changes Hypnosis right off the bat. I watched a video and paged through two huge books of testimonials. I felt a glimmer of hope. Choosing Positive Changes Hypnosis was the best decision of my life. I lost my weight at an average of 10 lbs. a month. 49 lbs. in all. When I first started Positive Changes I was stretching the seams on my size 16 jeans. I recently bought my first pair of size 6’s. That’s when I knew I had reached my goal. I cried tears of joy! The best compliment of all came from my husband. One night he gazed into my eyes and said, “Stacey, I think you’re the sexiest woman alive.” The best part was that I believed him. I actually felt sexy. Our passion has been sizzling ever since. Success Happens I would say Positive Changes Hypnosis was the smartest investment of my life. I’m saving money every week because I no longer crave junk food and fast food. Just a short year ago I never would have believed it possible. Don’t worry. They won’t pressure you. If they don’t think hypnosis is right for you, they will tell you so. So call now.

In 1857, Brereton Bunting opened a general store in Pickering Village and continued to operate it for 30 years. His son Richard took over the store in 1887. After retiring as a merchant, Mr. Bunting became a lay preacher who also served as justice of the peace and postmaster. His daughter, Ida, a life-long resident of the village, attended Pickering Public School and Pickering College. The house remained in the Bunting family from 1882 to 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.

Roy Romanow isn’t even scheduled to release his findings on the state of our national health-care system until November, but already, voices are being raised in advance of the much-anticipated report. This past week, renowned outspoken critic Maude Barlow, who raised her voice against free trade and glob- alization as head of the Council of Canadians, was in Durham to speak against for-profit health care. Ms. Barlow, heading up a 22-city, three-month tour that winds up in December, is speaking out against dras- tic changes to the National Health Act, which ensures public health care for all Canadians regardless of resi- dence or economic status. The key element of her Durham presentation was a McMaster University study, which argues there is a two- per cent higher risk of death among adults and a nine-per cent higher risk of death among infants in for-profit hos- pitals versus not-for-profit facilities. Ms. Barlow also said total health-care spending on a per-capita basis is more than twice as high in the United States, $7,000 an- nually, as in Canada, $3,298. Our public health-care system, which dates back only four decades, is in serious danger. All provincial budgets have seen a stratospheric increase in health-care costs as the federal government continues to fund a smaller amount of the total percentage. Every year or two, Prime Minister Jean Chretien finally listens to the combined complaints of the premiers and sits down with them pro- viding an extra billion or two per year of funding. That’s fine until the following year when that extra money is swallowed up by the system and more is needed. There doesn’t seem to be a truly sensible long-term solution at hand. Ms. Barlow suggests there must be better manage- ment of public funds, a more equitable tax system, an in- crease in private practitioners in all communities to lessen the load on hospitals, and a lowering of the cost of prescription drugs by reworking the patent monopoly many prescription drug companies enjoy to allow gener- ic drug makers into the market. Here in Durham we face several key problems: our rural areas suffer from a shortage of family doctors and specialists so we need help in attracting them; and as a rapidly growing area we face a shortage of hospital ca- pacity in nearly all areas which must be addressed in the near future. If we want to continue with our current not-for-profit system, which both our federal and provincial govern- ments have vowed to maintain, we need better manage- ment and more money from all sources. We’ll either have to raise taxes to keep the system alive or devote more of the current public purse to health care.

The former Progressive Con- servative premier has left problems that keep emerging and hurting his successor six months after he moved on. The most recent was a revela- tion Mr. Harris, only days before he retired and without telling any- one but a handful of compliant ministers, gave overpaid profes- sional sports teams a massive tax cut despite his having reduced ser- vices for the needy. Premier Eves had been unaware of Mr. Harris’s tax break and will cancel it. But Mr. Harris has start- ed a career with a law firm con- nected to sports teams. His generosity gave the Liber- als an opening to charge the Tories favour their friends and much of the public will remember it simply as the Tories secretly giving a tax break to the rich. Mr. Eves, a few days earlier, fired his tourism minister, Cam Jackson, for treating himself at taxpayers’ expense to good wines, fine dining, fancy hotel rooms and other high living. Many ministers have spent pub- lic money freely on themselves and the abuse has to be exception- al before one is fired. Mr. Jackson did his spending while Mr. Harris was premier and doing nothing to stop it, and even encouraging it by allowing others in public service, including offi- cers of its electricity transmission network, Hydro One, to over- spend. But it still probably will be thought of as a minister fired for feeding too much at the public trough on Mr. Eves’s watch. Mr. Eves had to rebuke two other ministers, Chris Stockwell and John Baird, and a former min- ister, Rob Sampson, and their staffs for charging high expenses. Mr. Eves also had to face a grilling over a fifth minister, Tony Clement, paying an Enron-like $300,000-a-year salary to an aide. But all the ministers’overspending took place under Mr. Harris, who turned a benevolent blind eye. The issue Mr. Harris left that has given Mr. Eves the biggest headache has been his last-minute, poorly prepared decision to sell Hydro One. Mr. Harris, a disciple of Mar- garet Thatcher, had been premier nearly seven years and largely backed off his initial, grandiose plans for privatizing government functions when he announced sud- denly the Province would sell its electricity transmission network. Mr. Harris left his successor to carry this through, but failed to first make sure the Province had legal authority to sell and initiate a public debate in which he could have tried to whip up support for privatization. A court ruled the Province did not have the right to sell and the need to pass new legislation gave the opposition parties time to rally public concern. Senior officers of the utility were then found raking in huge salaries, and perks for limousines, memberships in private clubs and sponsorship of an ocean-going racing yacht unheard of in govern- ment, which Mr. Harris also had failed to stop. Mr. Eves had to cut the salaries and perks and fire officials who took them and was forced by pub- lic outrage into one of the most dramatic retreats in memory when he agreed to sell only a minority interest, but it can all be traced back to Mr. Harris’s miscalcula- tions. Mr. Eves has to take some re- sponsibility for what an earlier Tory premier did because he is in the same party and many voters will feel what the Tories did once, they may do again. Mr. Eves has to persuade them he will be different. He cannot issue a disclaimer saying he is in no way liable for the deeds of his predecessor, with whom he says he remains on cordial personal terms. But Mr. Eves has had bad luck in having an unusually large num- ber of continuing problems be- queathed to him by Mr. Harris. The only remotely comparable situation was when Tory premier William Davis nearly two decades ago ignored opposition in his party and announced full provincial funding for Catholic high schools. That decision helped his suc- cessor, Frank Miller, get tossed out of office and Mr. Eves has to worry a departing premier could hurt a successor again. With friends like Mike Harris...

The selling of nearly 50 per cent of Hydro One will prove to be a major giveaway of material assets Ontario taxpayers spent nearly a century acquiring. What’s a fair price? Government assets have tradi- tionally been kept off the govern- ment budgetary balance sheets be- cause there was no way to fairly ap- praise them. (A reverse of the Enron scandal.) They were not “in the market” so that supply and de- mand could attribute a value. Nei- ther did they make a profit so that a price earnings ratio could be estab- lished. To deal fairly with the resident Ontario owners of the hydro assets we still own, the Province must do an appraisal before selling the as- sets. The only fair way to appraise them is to establish a replacement value and put that in as a reserve bid on the shares. Anything less would constitute a major sellout of our assets. Ed Goertzen Oshawa Focus should be on safe skating To the editor: Re: ‘Dropping in for a visit,’ Sept. 27 and ‘From dawn till dusk,’ Oct. 4. The skate park at the McLean Community Centre has been a great addition to the services the Town of Ajax provides for youth. That fact is obvious based on the number of youth and children uti- lizing the facility to practise their sport, instead of skating on roads and in parking lots. The coverage from the News Advertiser of the park has also been wonderful, however, we are con- cerned about the fact many skaters are not wearing helmets. We are doing what we can to educate boarders and parents on the impor- tance of wearing a helmet and other safety gear and we hope your pho- tographers will help us in the future by shining the spotlight on kids who are practising their tricks safe- ly. Tracy McMurray Youth services co-ordinator, Town of Ajax Monarchy just can’t be replaced To the editor: Re: Deputy Prime Minister John Manley’s suggestion to scrap the monarchy. Scrap our Constitutional monar- chy? Become a republic? Those of us who cherish a Con- stitutional monarchy do so on the grounds that there is a historical figure as the head of state — one who embodies goodness, integrity, truth and standards by which we live. The monarch represents all that is good and transcends the politi- cian of the day. Scrap this national figurehead and what is left to fill the void? Some pettifogging politi- cian.

The Oshawa-based company de- livered 46,749 vehicles last month, an increase of 23.7 per cent over the same period in 2001. Car sales jumped 29 per cent to 24,713 while truck sales climbed 18.3 per cent to 22,036. “GM sales were on fire last month as we sold more vehicles than we have in any September ever,” said Marc Comeau, vice-president of sales, service and marketing. “At this rate, 2002 could be our strongest year in over a decade as we have already sold more vehicles this year than the 380,000 we did in all of 1996.” Entry level cars, such as the Cava- lier and Sunfire, led the way, with sales up by 77 per cent. GM truck sales represented an all- time record in September. GM car sales for the month represented GM’s best September since 1987. For the year to date, GM has sold 394,818 cars and trucks, an 11.6 per cent increase over the same period last year.

DURHAM ––As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Durham Region Health Department is en- couraging women 50 and older to have a mammogram every two years. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Durham Region Health De- partment says early detec- tion studies indicate three out of four breast cancers occur in women 50 and older. According to statistics from Cancer Care Ontario, breast cancer is the most common female cancer in Durham Region, and is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in women across the region. “The major risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and increasing age, factors which a woman can- not change,” says Dr. Donna Reynolds, Durham Region Associate Medical Officer of Health. Since 1990, the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) has provided high- quality, organized breast cancer screening services for Ontario women 50 and older. Women can make their own appointments directly with OBSP or through their family doctor. Results of the screening are sent to the individual client as well as her doctor within two weeks. Durham Region’s OBSP sites include Port Perry Imaging, 462 Paxton St., (905) 985-9727 and the Os- hawa Imaging Centre in the Oshawa Clinic, 117 King St. E., (905) 721-3588.

Christopher Guerrieri, 18, will likely be named ‘co-rookie of the year’ at a banquet in Montreal. Eric Berman, general manager of the se- ries, said he’s leaning toward having Guerrieri and fellow driver Ashley Taws share the award as they finished even in the rookie points standing. “There’s no precedent to help us split that tie,” noted Berman. Other past series rookies of the year include the late Greg Moore (1991) and Formula Atlantic com- petitor Jonathan Macri (1999). Guerrieri competed in all eight rounds of this year’s series, winning at the famed Formula One Canadian Grand Prix weekend and climbing on the podium on two other occasions. The young driver of the #11 NGCL Cherry Beach Sound/LM La Scuderia Vector made the news when he became the first driver to beat Louis-Philippe Dumoulin this sea- son, dominating the Canadian Grand Prix round held in wet, slippery and treacherous conditions. From Round 1 at Mosport Interna- tional Raceway, Guerrieri and the 18- year-old Taws engaged in a furious battle for the Ford Rookie of the Year award. “I knew Ashley from my karting days and I knew she would be very quick in a Formula Ford car,” said Guerrieri. “I was really happy to race against her this year because she was a good gauge for myself.” He started the season on a strong note, taking second place in the sea- son’s opener and then claiming his win in front of thousands of specta- tors and the Formula One team own- ers. “These good finishes early in the season were really beneficial,” the young driver declared. “I enjoyed a very good relation- ship with Mauro (Lanaro, the LM La Scuderia team owner) and Andre, my engineer. Mauro really wanted me to clinch the rookie of the year title this season. That was our goal and we worked very hard to secure it.” CHRIS GUERRIERI Successful first season in Formula Ford racing series. Ajax-Pickering tykes, atoms, peewees all roll to big football wins DURHAM —Turkey dinner over the Thanksgiving weekend did nothing to dull the enthusiasm of Ajax-Pickering Dolphins players. The Dolphins’ tykes, atoms and peewees all returned home from Newmarket Monday with resound- ing victories over the host York Simcoe Young Bucs. In the first game of the day, the tykes dominated the Bucs en route to a thorough 40-0 victory. It was the Dolphins best offensive output of the Central Ontario Minor Foot- ball League season. However, it was the Dolphins’ defence that put the first points of the game on the scoreboard with a safety by Bran- don Misseri. Chris Mueller had a punt return for a touchdown called back on a penalty. The Dolphins recouped those points with a 15-yard scram- ble by Kareem Tucker. Giancarlo Amenta had a great day that includ- ed a 40-yard kickoff that pinned the Bucs deep in their end. He also had two touchdowns and two converts. Rob Sinclair and Andrew Goary combined to produce a fumble that was recovered by Tyler Stewart Maclean. Jeffrey McIllravey had a great day in his first start as quar- terback, recording his first two touchdowns. The game featured several high- lights including a 15-yard scramble for a touchdown by Jelane Roberts. Defensively, Kyle DeBellote and Michael Roache, who recovered a fumble, led the Dolphins’. Meanwhile, the Dolphins’ atoms beat the Young Bucs 42-0 due, in large part, to a solid effort by the defence, which allowed only two first downs. Andre Shand and Sean Carter came up big with fumble re- coveries and Brett Jamieson inter- cepted a pass for a long return. Also strong defensively were Jesse Kelly, Peter Dearness, Ryan Phillips, Johnathan Hosein, Myles Daly, Cameron Douglas, Tyler Harding, Collin Lee, and Marc Gre- goire, with Kiel Whelan blitzing through the line for a sack. Adam Konkle had a 45-yard punt return to give the Dolphins great field posi- tion. On offence, Jermayne Goodridge scored the Dolphins’ six touchdowns with kicker Jordon McLaughlin good on the point-after conversions. Mathew Blum, Taylor Rice, Ryan Ko, Brent Peters, Gregory Sheremeta, Brendan Farrell, Peter Iyamu, Paul Maddeaux and Alexan- der Ko all played well in the win- ning cause. The Dolphins’ peewees blitzed the Young Bucs 28-12. Ajax-Picker- ing scored on first-quarter touch- downs by Jahmoy Tyrell and Cecil Cherrie to build a 16-0 lead by half- time. In the second quarter, the Dol- Losses mount for Panthers Rangers’two wins run Pickering’s losing streak to six BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING — It’s six straight losses and counting for the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers. The last two in the string were pro- vided courtesy of the North York Rangers in a home-and-home series in OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action. At home Friday night, the Panthers lost 4-3, while in North York Sunday, the Rangers posted a 5-3 win. The Panthers (2-11-2-0 for six points), winless in their last seven games, have slipped into a seventh- place tie with Thornhill in the nine- team South Conference standings. The silver lining in the losses, says head coach Jim Wilson, is the club continues to play well. The Panthers played well for most of the games, however, they became unglued at critical stages, which opened the door for the Rangers. “The kids who are here are being accountable and they’ve played very well in both games, we just came up short. But, we need to get better and we need to get healthier,” said Wilson. In Sunday’s game, the teams played to a 1-1 tie after the first period, with the Rangers nudging ahead 3-2 after 40 minutes. Back-to-back goals midway through the final frame, however, would put the Rangers in the driver’s seat. Former Panther Robbie Colange- lo and Scotley Johnson would put North York ahead 5-2. Pickering’s Peter Franchin scored a minute later for the game’s final goal. Andrew Jackson and James Gadon also scored for the Panthers, with as- sists to Craig Johnston, Andrew Dis- sanayake, Franchin, Ryan Annesley, Corey Black and Gadon. The bright spots in the game was the work of the forward line of Dis- sanayake, Johnston and Jackson, which combined for the first goal and kept up its spirited play throughout. Goaltender Scott Gray was also solid, keeping the Panthers in the game, es- pecially in the second period when they were outshot 19-9. Two Rangers’ goals late in the sec- ond period Friday proved to be Pan- thers’ downfall. Tied 2-2 at that point, Colangelo and Johnson scored 26 sec- onds apart. Pickering added one more in the third. Dissanayake, with his first junior ‘A’ goal, Black and Jesse Toms scored for Pickering, with assists to Johnston with two, and Annesley, Patrick Miller and Tyler Townsend. Michael Fini was outstanding, mak- ing numerous quality saves in the first period when the Panthers were badly outplayed and outshot 15-4. All told, Fini stopped 40 shots in the contest. Unfortunately, the injury bug has continued to plague the Panthers. Team captain Ryan Taylor didn’t play on the weekend due to a hip flexor injury, Michael Freeman was out with the flu and Mike Alexiou suffered a hip injury Friday and didn’t dress Sunday. The Panthers now face the Vaughan Vipers in a home-and-home series be- ginning Friday at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The return game is in Vaughan Monday night. PANTHERS’ POSTSCRIPT:Vet- eran defenceman Dennis Colterman has left the team and is demanding a trade. The Panthers are currently at- tempting to finalize a trade with the Milton Merchants of the league’s West Conference. Young Bucs learn a lesson from Dolphins Ice Bears, Thunder silence Lightning Telus still looking for first win after two more losses in recent action DURHAM —The agony of de- feat continues for the Telus Light- ning. The National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) squad dropped its fourth and fifth consecutive games to open the regular season, losing to the Ice Bears 6-3 in Mississauga last Sunday and 4-2 to the Brampton Thunder last Wednesday. The Lightning played the first- placed Beatrice Aeros on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre Tuesday night. The result wasn’t available at the News Advertiser’s press time. Inconsistent play once again plagued the Lightning in the loss to Mississauga, reported head coach Peter Perram, whose club played catch-up through most of the game. “We seem to play well in parts of the game, but there’s a need to be a See DOLPHINS page B2 See LIGHTNING page B2 JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Get out of the way!

The Axemen lost 4-2. Curling’s back on ice ...Page B2 little more consistent. We have the ability to play well. We just have to maintain it over the whole game,” he explained. As has been the case through much of the NWHL regular season, the Lightning were without a number of regulars due to injuries. Forward Jackie Jarrell (foot) missed both games as did defenceman Sandy Hus- tler (unspecified), forward Katie Quinn (unspecified) and forward Gwen Kilfoy, who’s still recovering from knee surgery. Perram said Jar- rell should return for Saturday’s home game against Quebec, while Quinn could return later this month. Kilfoy is on track to return in early November, while Hustler is out in- definitely. The Lightning were also without forward Jamie Hill in Mississauga. She received a one-game suspension for an altercation against Brampton. If there was any good news on the in- jury front, it was the return to the lineup Sunday of defenceman Jen- nifer Kearney. Down 2-0 Sunday after the first period, Telus got one back early in the second stanza when call-up Ash- ley Riggs scored. A major collapse, however, late in the second allowed Mississauga to score three unanswered goals to take a commanding 5-1 lead to the dress- ing room. Early in the third, the Lightning got within two on goals from Brenda Reynolds and a power-play marker by Laura Church. The Ice Bears closed out the scoring with a goal late in the frame. Riggs finished the evening with a goal and an assist. Others drawing as- sists were Church, Christianne Trem- ills and Jessica Allen. Against the Thunder, Telus trailed 2-1 after the first period. Brampton increased its lead to 4-1 in a second where the Lightning were widely out- shot 13-2. In a physical third period, the Lightning scored the lone goal off the stick of Reynolds, assisted by Jenny McLean and Church. Erin Rourke scored the first-peri- od marker for Telus. Saturday’s game against the Avalanche is at the Ajax Community Centre at 7:30 p.m. LIGHTNING BOLTS:Telus used four call-ups from the Durham West Girls’ Hockey Association for their last two contests.

Lightning tamed by Bears Cool weather brings new season of action BY JIM EASSON Special to the News Advertiser AJAX —The weatherman co-op- erated with cool days last week, so the new curling season is under way at the Annandale Curling Club. How fast the ice is in the first week depends on the curling rocks being thoroughly chilled. Just as hockey pucks have to be frozen, warm rocks don’t glide easily. ••• The Ontario Curling Association (OCA) competitions come early for senior curlers. Mission Hill Winery Senior Women and Mike’s Hard Lemonade Senior Men’s zone play- downs are slated for the Whitby Curl- ing Club Nov. 16 to 18. Meanwhile, the Teranet Juniors zone playdowns are the following weekend in Port Perry. Competitive teams will have to get their names on the signup sheets without delay. ••• Organization is proceeding for the annual Annandale curling clinic Satur- day, Nov. 2. The cost is $11, which in- cludes novice and advanced instruc- tion, morning nibbles and coffee, and lunch. Registration is before 9 a.m., with the instruction ending at approxi- mately 3 p.m. ••• The first bonspiel of the season at Annandale is the popular Mixed Stakes, which runs Nov. 7 and 8. Thir- ty-two teams play in a points’ compe- tition, and the event fills quickly each year. Local curlers enjoy chilly reception phins’ defensive unit came up with a spectacular goal-line stand. The Young Bucs were first and goal from the Dolphins’one-yard line and came away empty. Elboron Barzegar, Joytin Handa and Richard Morrison were standouts. Tyrell and Shawn Walker scored the second-half majors. Quarterbacks Jesse Andrews and David Priestman shared duties, with each pivot throw- ing a touchdown pass. Offensive linemen Josh Fudge and Scott Blake were solid. The Dolphins’ defence had anoth- er excellent outing. Cornerback Alex Fedosen chipped in with a quarter- back sack and a number of tackles, while middle linebacker Elboron Barzegar and cornerback Codee Whelan each had an interception. De- fensive tackles Craig Smith and Cameron McNairn were unyielding in limiting the Young Bucs to mini- mal yardage. The Dolphins’ special-teams’ play excelled once again. Justice Moun- sey, James McIntosh and Troy Bent- ley led the unit.

LIGHTNING from page B1 BY TONY DOYLE Staff Editor PICKERING — The last few years have brought a rebirth of sorts for Angela Hennessey. After more than 20 years work- ing with stained glass, the north Durham artist tackled a new ven- ture with the opening of her gallery in Cannington, leading shortly thereafter to her move into paint- ing with water-mixable oils. “I decided after 20-odd years, I’m really ready for a change,” the Cannington resident said of the switch from stained glass. Self-taught in stained glass, Hennessey took the same indepen- dent approach — save for a couple classes — to oils and hasn’t looked back since she started painting in April 2001. “The talent was there, it was just sleeping,” the 55-year-old said. Hennessey’s latest accomplish- ment is her one-woman show cur- rently ongoing at the Pickering Nuclear Information Centre. From still lifes and animals, to familiar landscapes such as the Toronto harbourfront and a few places around Durham, the exhibit runs until Nov. 25. “I love animals,” she admitted, noting she has six cats. She listed horses, which “are spectacular, they’re beautiful to look at” and the “comforting” quality of cows as favourites. She added there have been challenges with the switch be- tween the longtime familiarity of stained glass and new world of painting, but there is a sense of fa- miliarity, too. “Some things are the same, there are colours in both, the de- sign principles, but the media are very different,” she said. The biggest challenge has been forcing herself to stray from what would usually be considered the norm. “It’s just getting myself to use colours more, more exciting colours, because when I started, leaves are green so I was sticking with green — you don’t really have to do that,” she said. As for her subjects, Hennessey admitted she has no tried-and-true rule. “Whatever appeals to me and, of course, if I think it will make a good subject,” she said. Hennessey is a member of the PineRidge Arts Council and Ajax Creative Arts Club, and an associ- ate member of the Canadian Soci- ety of Artists. When discussing the Canning- ton Village Gallery, which she co- founded in May 2000, she sounds like a proud parent. Hennessey highlights the strength of the talent and was pleased to report gallery members earned five of the eight honourable mentions at the 2001 PineRidge Arts Council and Town of Ajax Juried Art Show. Hours for the information cen- tre, 1675 Montgomery Park Rd., are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

THE PROCESS For a Provincial Individual Environmental Assessment, the EAAct requires that a proponent prepare a Terms of Reference (ToR) to define the framework of the proposed EA Study. The ToR requires approval by the Minister of Environment. In preparing the ToR and the Individual EA for Route Location/Concept Design, the Project Team will seek public input and comment via Public Information Centres (PICs). PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRES The first series of PICs has been arranged. The purpose of this series of meetings is to present the Study Design, the Terms of Reference process and the preliminary need and justification for the study. Public involvement is crucial to the success of the ToR process by providing input on the suggested scope, the transportation needs and potential environmental impacts. The PICs will be held as follows: Another series of PICs will be held prior to the finalization of the Terms of Reference. COMMENTS Any comments and information regarding this project are being collected to assist the Ministry of Transportation in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the project and may be included in project documentation. Information collected will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Editor DURHAM ––The Troubadours, a band of singing and dancing senior citizens, really live up to their name. These merry minstrels, who’ve been entertaining locally for nigh on five years, may not stroll like their medieval namesakes, but they rarely stand still. “We’re not a choir,” says music di- rector Shirley Campbell. “We don’t stand still. We move around a lot, we either dance or most definitely have blocking in our songs.” In fact, at its first appearance at the Royal Bank Jubilee concerts at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto in 2001, the group performed in the lobby because microphones couldn’t pick up the members on stage, she said. The 24-member group with the moves operates out of Northview Community Centre, on Beatrice Street in Oshawa and is made up of senior citizens who belong to the Northview branch of Oshawa Senior Citizens Centres. The Troubadours perform two shows a year, raising money for the expansion of the Northview Centre. To date, they’ve raised $20,000 (at $300 for a perfor- mance) and have performed for the seniors at Northview, service clubs, churches and other organizations to rave reviews. About five years ago, the group formed under the direction of Joan Hill. “When the group first formed, the idea was, up at Northview, they’d have a singing group, when seniors could get together and sing the songs they like,” said Campbell. “It was a recreation thing, that was all.” They enjoyed it so much and were so enthusiastic, “they decided to pro- duce a show and see what happened. We sold out. People loved it.” Now, the Troubadours put on shows in both April and near Christ- mas. The singing has been augmented by dancing, comedy and solos and duets, costumes and props. People who were a bit shy at first are now asking to do solos. Campbell, who started out as one of the group, was asked to take over from Hill a couple of years ago. This year’s Christmas show is her fourth as director. “It’s wonderful. They’re a great bunch. Their enthusiasm is just un- bounding.” If there aren’t any rehearsals for a while, “they go into withdrawal,” Campbell said. “This is something they thought they’d like to do back when they were working but they didn’t have the time. Now they do.” When they are preparing for a show, the group rehearses for five hours a week. People doing solos and duets put in another 90 minutes a week. For the December shows, the rehearsals started the beginning of September. Since most members don’t read music, they simply practice until they know the melodies, under the guid- ance of Campbell and pianist Bev Smith. A “handful” of seniors add harmonies. “We do about 30 numbers a show and those are all memorized. Not bad for seniors,” Campbell said with a laugh. The dedicated group is like family, she said. They come up with most of their own costumes and either find or build most of their props, too. Assis- tant director Harry McKew writes special lyrics for old tunes and even built a special stage that the members can easily erect and take down them- selves. The next shows are Dec. 14 at 5:30 p.m. and Dec. 15 at 1 and 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and include a full- course roast beef dinner before the show, titled ‘Your Favourites and More.’ Broadway tunes, big band music, comedy routines and Christ- mas carols are featured. Look for ‘Old Man River’ and ‘Amazing Grace’ and a reprise of ‘Don’t Get Around Much Any More,’ with spe- cial “senior” words penned by McKew. Tickets are going fast so call Colleen at 905-576-6712 ext. 2875 or drop into Northview.

Picard, a recording artist well-known as a soloist through- out western Eu- rope, has been hailed by critics as a “musician with sound and personal taste, a generous play but never exces- sive.”(Le Monde, 2/99). The renowned cel- list is the latest in a series of European-based musicians who have ventured across the At- lantic to play with ODSO conductor Marco Parisot- to. “You have to hear this or- chestra to ap- preciate the level of excel- lence Marco coaxes from them,”said Sherry Bassin, chairman of the ODSO board of directors. “I have no hesita- tion in boasting this is the best regional orches- tra now in Canada.” The Oct. 19 concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, 300 Rossland Rd., E., Oshawa, at Ritson Road.
