A Licensed Non-Profit Agency For Information: OMB appeal possible, but both sides ordered to negotiate BY LESLEY BOVIE Staff Writer PICKERING —With the possibility of an Ontario Mu- nicipal Board hearing in the fu- ture and now new opportunities for dialogue, the Pickering Markets saga continues. Durham Region’s planning committee has given vendors and First Pro Shopping Centre until its meeting Oct. 29 to re- open negotiations between the two parties. At the same time, Brocking- ton Plaza, at the corner of Brock and Kingston roads, has launched an appeal to the OMB based on the size of a grocery store included in First Pro’s plans to replace the Pick- ering Markets with several big box stores. Demolition of the markets is set for Feb. 1, but a new home for vendors isn’t expect- ed to be complete until at least next summer. “We’re going to do every- thing in our power to convince First Pro to let us stay a few more months,” said Arley Karpman, a lawyer represent- ing roughly half of the 350 market vendors. Mr. Karpman argued his clients will never survive for months without the markets, which for most of them is their only source of livelihood. Last week, regional council- lors delayed their consideration of a rezoning application for the markets’ new home on Bayly Street and Squires Beach Road to allow for fur- ther negotiation between ven- dors and First Pro. The new home proposed by the Invar Building Corporation requires bringing Squires Beach Road up to industrial and commercial standards and RON PIETRONIRO/ News Advertiser photo A field for the game DURHAM –– Dunbarton High School’s Erika MacNeil (right) puts some tight cover- age on Sinclair Secondary School opponent Tricia St. Denis during LOSSA field hock- ey finals in Whitby Monday.

Flea market vendors to keep talking Pot home busts close in on 100 DURHAM —Drug squad officers busted two more mari- juana grow houses last week, seizing dope worth $230,000 in Ajax and Pickering. Durham Regional Police have shut down 97 residential labs this year. Search warrants were execut- ed by Durham’s drug enforce- ment unit at residences on Kee- ble Crescent in Ajax and McLeod Crescent in Pickering. On Keeble, officers raked in 322 pot plants worth $226,000 and confiscated $30,000 worth of hydroponics growing equip- ment, police said. Another pot production facil- ity on McLeod was being dis- mantled by operators and con- verted “back into a home again” when raided, allege police, who seized another 51 plants and $10,000 worth of growing equipment. Ngoc Thien Dinh, 36, of Keeble Crescent, is charged with production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and theft of hydro over $5,000. Facing similar charges in connection with the Pickering operation are Ngoc Thy Nguyen, 32, and Anh Dung Nguyen, 33, both of Ossington Av enue in Toronto, and Minh Son Pham, 33, of Guelph.

See DEVELOPER page A4 But, Durham board survey also shows 80 per cent know how to handle bullying BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Less than half of Durham public school students enjoy school, accord- ing to a survey. Since 1993, the Durham Dis- trict School Board has surveyed students, presenting them with a range of statements and asking for responses. The board has two surveys, one for Grade 3 to 6 students and another for Grade 7 to OAC pupils, admin- istered in alternating years. The May 2002 survey was of over 30,000, Grade 7 to OAC students and just over 25,000 re- sponses were received, accord- ing to programs superintendent Bev Freedman’s report on the Oct. 21 board meeting agenda. “We use this information centrally to drive programs,” she told trustees. “Schools use it to compare themselves with other schools. It is one of the ve- hicles that allows us to be data driven (and) ensure that the stu- dents’ voice is heard, and we continue to pay attention to is- sues we need to pay attention to.” Forty-six per cent of students said they enjoy school. Sixty- seven per cent said they feel safe in their school, eight in 10 said they know what to do when bullied, and 41 per cent saidBEV FREEDMAN Poll ensures students heard.See DURHAM page A4 School program teaches rights of students and crime’s consequeneces BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham po- lice want to have an impact on youth violence with a new pro- gram for local high schools. ‘Impakt’ was launched at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering Tuesday. It teaches youth their rights as Canadian citizens, what terms like ‘assault’ and ‘threatening’ mean in the law, and the conse- quences of committing those crimes and others. Impakt’s sec- ond component is a seven-stage, conflict resolution process. The ultimate goal is to in- crease youth awareness and re- duce the number of robberies and other violent events in Durham Region schools. A main emphasis is on encourag- ing young people not to be afraid to report bullying and vi- olent incidents. “One of the main problems we run into is kids being afraid to tell somebody,” Durham Re- gional Police Constable Dave Hookway, high school liaison officer for Pickering high schools, said in an interview. He noted students should not re- main silent but go to police, their teacher or parents if they are being victimized. “It’s like pulling teeth, unfortunately.” Police are trying to change that by stressing all reports will be looked into and, if warranted, those responsible will face con- sequences. Const. Hookway addressed Grade 9 students in the school cafetorium, noting a lot has changed in schools where vio- lence is concerned. In the past, he said conflicts between stu- dents were often resolved with a fight. Often today, however, gangs are involved and young people are being injured over trivial things like looking at somebody the wrong way or bumping into someone. MIKE RUTA/ News Advertiser photo Students Meghan Baird and Joseph DeBenedictis were among the students who learned about the ‘Impakt’ pro- gram and the effect violence has on everyone. Durham police hope for ‘Impakt’against violence See SCHOOL page A2 Nearly half of Durham students unhappy “That is going to stop,” said Const. Hookway. “It has to stop. People are being seri- ously hurt over these things, and most are pointless.” The presentation included a video produced and de- signed by St. Mary students with help from teacher Steve Archer. One segment shows young people beating a stu- dent in an empty classroom. A teacher intervenes, police are called and charge the at- tackers with assault, where- upon they are handcuffed, placed in the back of a police cruiser and taken to jail. Grade 9 students Meghan Baird and Joseph DeBene- dictis were among the stu- dents in the audience. Both said before starting their first year of high school they heard all kinds of horror sto- ries about Grade 9s being ini- tiated. However, they’ve had no problems with almost two months under their belts. Meghan said she would report someone who is ha- rassing her but, asked the same question, Joseph paused. “It’d be hard,” he admit- ted, adding he would first go to family members to report that he was being bullied. The students were sur- prised to learn assault, for ex- ample, can simply mean pushing someone. “I knew what (the terms) meant but I didn’t know how to apply them to everyday life,” Meghan said. Principal Shelley Roy en- couraged students to assume the responsibility that goes with being a St. Mary stu- dent. If a student is being bul- lied or hears of someone else who is being threatened, he or she should go to the main office and report it, even if that means leaving a note. “All of this information is kept strictly confidential,” she said. The Impakt program is presented by a police officer to Grade 9 students at Durham high schools.

Hwy. 401 crash snarls rush-hour traffic Tractor-trailer, four other vehicles hold up Tuesday commuters AJAX --Eastbound traffic on Hwy. 401 was backed up to Scarbor- ough yesterday afternoon following a five-vehicle accident at Harwood Av- enue. An eastbound tractor-trailer jack- knifed just past Harwood near the construction of a new interchange. Tw o minivans slammed into the side of the truck, while two other vehicles swerved to miss the accident and crashed through a concrete barrier. Ajax Fire and Emergency Services report there were eight minor in- juries. Tr affic was snarled for about an hour on the 401 and surrounding streets. About 200 litres of diesel fuel had to be cleared up before the highway could be reopened. OPP were redirecting traffic off the highway to avoid the scene. A.J.

Mayor Ivan Kulichenko of Dnipropetrovsk is in Durham Region along with government and business representatives to explore co-operative ventures be- tween Canadian businesses and governments and the Ukraine. In May 2000, Mr. Kulichenko hosted repre- sentatives from the Region of Durham. The Dnipropetrovsk mayor and Durham Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson signed a memo- randum of understanding which deals with munici- pal administration prac- tices and development of economic ties and cultural exchanges between the two municipalities. The Ukrainian visitors arrived Saturday and will be in the Region until Oct. 26. they have opportunities to practice their conflict resolu- tion skills. Scugog Trustee Martin Demmers, referring to the latter two responses, said it seemed like the board was doing a good job educat- ing students about bullying, but not in teaching resolution skills. Ms. Freedman responded the problem might be in the question, with students thinking it refers to a formal opportunity to work on dis- pute-solving skills. Any in- formal gathering of students in the survey group involves such skills, she noted. Whitby Trustee Doug Ross noted 51 per cent of students said they do volun- teer work. That figure corre- sponds to what schools in this area of Ontario are re- porting, he said, namely that one in every two students has not met their 40 hours of vol- unteer work, a high school diploma requirement. “It is an area of concern,” said Ms. Freedman. “I have a feeling it will come to a crunch as these students near the end of the Grade 12 year... and it dawns on them they haven’t met that 40-hour requirement.” She said de- spite school attempts to ham- mer home the message that students must complete the volunteer hours, it’s just not on the radar screen for many of them.

Vendors and First Pro plan to meet next week, although the two hold very different interpretations of the meeting. Mr. Karpman said Durham coun- cillors have instructed both parties to sit down and try to negotiate a “seamless transition” for the mar- kets, but Ornella Richichi, director of land planning for First Pro, said councillors were only suggesting the lines of communication remain open. Vendors haven’t decided if they’ll take the matter to the OMB before the Oct. 25 deadline for ap- peals. Brockington Plaza is appealing a zoning amendment that allows for a 48,000-square-foot grocery store, with a 10,000-square-foot future ad- dition at the First Pro site. Original zoning called for a food store there, but at a minimum of 68,000 square feet. Brockington Plaza planning con- sultant Kevin Tunney, of Tunney and Associates, refused to comment on the appeal launched by his client. Ms. Richichi said First Pro ex- pected the appeal from next-door neighbour, Brockington Plaza, which has a food and drug store on site. The plaza has expressed con- cerns throughout the zoning process, she said. “We’re confident this will have been dealt with in time to keep our demolition schedule given our expe- rience with the OMB,” she said.

Click and say Ontario’s political parties are warming up for an election that is showing all the earmarks and even facial bruises of being bitter. The election is not due until next year, but more is at stake than usual. If he gets turfed out of govern- ment it will be the first and last election as Progressive Conserva- tive leader for Premier Ernie Eves. The Tories felt Mr. Eves would provide a more moderate style and policies than his predecessor Mike Harris, who earned back-to-back majority wins in 1995 and 1999. They see it as almost their right to be in government, having been in power 49 of the last 60 years. Should the Tories be defeated however, they would be in no mood to give a second chance to a 57-year-old leader who has never won an election. They would quickly go to another choice. Liberal leader Dalton McGuin- ty had one try to win an election in 1999, when he added to his party’s vote. But if he fails to win again this time the Liberals, who usually have short shrift for losing leaders and have had seven over the past four decades, would be unlikely to give him a third chance. They would be chagrined par- ticularly because Mr. McGuinty has led in the polls the past three years. The stakes are high also for the parties. The Tories will recall it took them 10 years and two changes of leader to win back government last time and will leave no stone unturned to avoid it happening again. The Liberals have led in polls so often but failed to win they lack confidence and, if they stumble again, it may be a long time before they dare entertain notions of win- ning. The Liberals have launched most of the attacks that have seen the debate between the parties turn bitter. They showed recently that four ministers spent lavishly on entertainment and drew blood when one, Cam Jackson, was fired, and now claim Mr. Eves also overspent, but got his staff to pick up some of his tabs. The Liberals showed some who might want favours from government, including a racetrack eyeing lucrative slot machines, donated handsomely to candidates in the leadership campaign Mr. Eves won. They showed Mr. Harris in his last days as premier secretly gave a huge tax cut to big sports orga- nizations that were his friends and the few ministers who knew about it never told Mr. Eves. The Liberals revealed half the defeated Tory candidates in the last two elections have been com- pensated with government jobs, mostly on boards, patronage un- equalled since the Tories of the 1980s. The Liberals and New Democ- rats also forced an apology from Northern Development Minister Jim Wilson, who called civil ser- vants offering advice he disagreed with politically partisan and threatened to fire them. These are legitimate concerns, but the Liberals have dug deeper to find them than some previous opposition parties. The Tories have retaliated by demanding Mr. McGuinty pro- duce receipts showing how he and his staff spent public money, which they are not obliged to do. They have identified Liberals and New Democrats they named to public boards, but they are few and every government appoints token opponents to counter com- plaints it only looks after its own. The Tories also have criticized Liberal deputy leader Sandra Pu- patello, who has led the charges against them, for using a courier service provided for MPPs to send a shipment under her own name on behalf of a friend. There is no suggestion the tax- payer had to bear any cost, and any wrongdoing is nowhere on the scale of that committed by the To- ries, but they have called on the in- tegrity commissioner to investi- gate. Mr. McGuinty also has said he will make ethics an issue in the election and opponents of private radiology clinics are running newspaper ads showing a grisly dissection of a head and declaring, “We know Ernie Eves has a brain — why won’t he use it?’ In an election, the adversaries are likely to get even deeper under each other’s skins. Pre-election punches start to fly Tories, Liberals launch aggressive campaigns to discredit each other Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 23, 2002 www.durhamregion.com Proud members of Do you know what time of year it is? It's time to get your annual flu shot, a chance to protect yourself from the ravages of the influenza season. Best of all, it's free –– as it has been for the past two years - for everybody. In what can only be universally applauded as a good use of our health care dollars, the Province has once again taken the plunge and committed millions of dollars this year to flu shots for all. More than 10 million Ontar- ians are eligible to head to their clinics or to many other sites to get the shot. Here in Durham there are many opportunities to head to local sites to receive a flu shot. A full schedule of times and sites in every Durham municipality can be dis- covered by calling the Durham Region Health Depart- ment at 1-800-841-2729. Why is the Province once again footing the bill for the flu shots? The answer is simple. Spending millions for this ounce of prevention will be worth billions of dollars in health care pounds of cure. The government took the plunge to provide free flu shots a few years ago after hospital emergency wards across Ontario were swamped with flu sufferers looking for relief from their symptoms. As a result, precious re- sources which could and should be dedicated to more se- riously ill patients were diverted to flu victims. In addi- tion, hospitals found themselves on critical care bypass and redirect constantly and were in need of all the relief they could get. There are some concerns surrounding the flu shot. So, here are the facts from the Ministry of Health: It takes 10 to 14 days before the vaccine can protect you from the flu so you could be vulnerable to getting sick within this time period. If two weeks have gone by since your shot and you're symptom-free, consider yourself protected. However, the vaccine has between a 70 and 90-per cent effectiveness rate for most people so it's not absolutely guaranteed you'll be influenza proof. Still, those who do get the flu after a shot apparently have much milder symptoms than those who don't re- ceive the vaccine. There are a few possible side effects but these are minor and rare. They can include a bit of pain near the needle site, or a bit of fatigue, muscle soreness or low fever for a day or two after getting the shot. It's a small price to pay com- pared to several weeks of suffering from a full-blown case of influenza. Don't delay, get your (free) flu shot today. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER OCTOBER 23, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com All child-care resources not fully utilized To the editor: Re: ‘How can these people sleep at night?’ Jane McDonald column, Oct. 6. I read this column with interest. Studies have shown the most desir- able form of child care is when par- ents, grandparents, or extended family are the primary caregivers, but this is not an option for many families. Investing in quality child-care programs must be a high priority in our society given that most families require two incomes to survive. In my experience the Region of Durham, at least, does this. The Region operates six child- care centres and most have space available. Their staff is caring, cre- ative and very professional, offer- ing a warm and nurturing environ- ment. They offer high-quality pro- gramming and their health and safety standards often exceed those required by regulation. They do not operate for profit, they resource outside agencies for help with behavioural management programs and support staff, and government subsidies are available to those who qualify. What puzzles me is why these centres are not full if there is a shortage of child care in the region? Perhaps parents are not aware this high-quality child care is available to them? Dawn O’Hara, Ajax It’s easy to point fingers from safe distance To the editor: Re: ‘It’s surprising 9/11-type tragedies don’t happen daily,’opin- ion shaper column, Oct. 18. So Grant Sundal is of the view it is surprising 9/11-type tragedies don’t happen daily. Although he does so tortuously, he appears to attribute his surprise to the Americans’ position that a despot with a proven track record of unprovoked military invasion of a neighbour, torture of its own citi- zens, the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons, commitment of genocide, etc. should either be forced to live up to his previous commitments to the U.N. or be de- posed. Am I missing something here? He also appears to insinuate that economic sanctions imposed by the free world, not just the United States, have resulted in hardship to the citizens of Iraq. I would suggest to Mr. Sundal that were it not for the resolve of the Americans, tens of millions of Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, indeed, all of Europe, would have remained or fallen under the yoke of one form of totalitarianism or another. Further, today there would be glob- alization of a different sort; directed by the latest five-year plan as op- posed to the free market, and his main language of communication would certainly be something other than English. I would further suggest the pop- ulace of Iraq have none other than their recently “re-elected” leader to thank for their hardship. Is disar- mament too hefty a price to pay after one launches a war of con- quest on a neighbour, or am I yet again missing something? While no country is perfect, it is painfully easy for those in relative safety and comfort to point fingers at those who ultimately made that safety and comfort possible.

However, many drivers adjust their side view mirror so that they can see the side f the car on the inside edge of the mirror, which doesn’t maximize your viewing ability effectively. According to the National Motorists Association, positioning the side view mirrors in this this fashion essentially has created “tunnel vision” to the rear of the car. Your side view mirrors overlap much of what you inside rearview mirror sees and you’ve also created blind spots. So, what is the solution? Simply adjust the side view mirrors just beyond the point where you can see the side of the car on the inside edge of the mirror. With this setup, you almost completely solve the blind spot problem. And with fewer chances of a car in you blind spot, the less likely you’ll be involved in an accident while merging or changing lanes. Perhaps you’re thinking, “I don’t need to change the adjustment of the side view mirrors because I glance over my shoulder before changing lanes.” This generally is an effective way of checking for cars in blind spots, yet unless you’ve worked to control it, you arms will move in the direction of your eyes are looking causing the steering wheel to turn. With well positioned mirrors, your head won’t have to turn as far to check any remaining blind spots.

For many years, Waste Reduction or Recycling weeks and even months have been held in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, but this is only the sec- ond time it is being held concurrently throughout the nation. My two previous WRW columns noted theme days and listed local ac- tivities. Ta k en from the Recycling Council of Ontario’s WRW handbook for mu- nicipalities, the following are some in- teresting statistics and quotes: • Operating a typical gasoline-pow- ered lawnmower for one hour pro- duces as much smog-forming com- pounds and carbon monoxide as dri- ving about 322 kilometres in a late- model compact car; • A dripping faucet can waste more than 35,000 litres of water per year. That’s enough to fill a bathtub 184 times; • The Earth takes between five and 10 million years to make 3.8 litres of gasoline. The average automobile uses 3.8 litres of gasoline every 22 min- utes; • A single city bus can take 40 ve- hicles off the road, save 70,000 litres of fuel and keep nine tonnes of pollu- tants out of the atmosphere each year; • The average office worker dis- cards 57 kilograms of paper each year; • Two in three citizens want com- panies to go beyond their historical role of making a profit, paying taxes, employing people and obeying all laws; they want companies to con- tribute to broader societal goals as well; • Studies have shown using natural light can improve student test scores by 5 to 21 per cent; • A lunch packed with reusable items is typically 45 per cent less ex- pensive and contains 89 per cent less waste than a lunch packed with single- use items; • An average golf course in a tropi- cal country such as Thailand needs 1,500 kilograms of chemical fertiliz- ers, pesticides, and herbicides per year and uses as much water as 60,000 rural villagers; • We pay twice for packaging — first to buy the packaging as part of the cost of a product, and then again through our taxes to dispose of it; • Each family produces about one tonne of packaging waste per year; • It takes 2,500 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil and the energy equivalent to one gal- lon of gasoline to produce one pound of feedlot beef; and • There are no passengers on the spaceship Earth, we are all the crew.

Canada says au revoir to Lyons conference on a high note LY ONS, FRANCE ––The home of the second largest international science collaboration in history very well could be Durham. As the Clarington/Durham delega- tion prepared for its trip home from Lyons, France following a week mar- keting Canada’s bid at a $12-billion fu- sion research facility, it took with it a new sense of optimism. Wednesday evening was ‘the big show’for the four countries –– Canada, Japan, France and Spain –– all bidding for the right to host the facility. In an auditorium filled with scien- tists, engineers and government offi- cials from around the world, each coun- try had the chance to show its stuff with about 15 minutes apiece to convince this audience their site was the best choice not only from a technical stand- point but also for its quality of life. The first boost for Canada came be- fore the official presentations began when a map pinpointing the locations of the sites was put on the overhead projector. Each of the sites is situated at a latitude of roughly 42 degrees north of the equator. This one slide drove home the point the Canadian site is of a simi- larly temperate climate to its competi- tors, a big issue for many of the scien- tists who may be relocated to the pro- ject. In fact, Regional Chairman Roger Anderson observed while manning the Iter Canada booth through the week, the Durham climate was one of the main questions asked by delegates. Durham representatives ensured all in- quisitors the perception the Clarington climate is similar to that of northern Canada is false. Canada’s technical attributes are not in question. Everyone who knows any- thing about ITER already knows Clar- ington has an excellent supply of elec- tricity, the tritium required for the pro- ject and the land, infrastructure, trans- portation modes, including an interna- tional port and St. Mary’s Cement right next to the site. So when Clarington Mayor John Mutton took the stage to sell Canada, his focus was not on our country’s technical superiority. It was on Cana- da’s housing supply, health care, multi- cultural facilities and tolerance for cul- tures worldwide. Mayor Mutton talked about Claring- ton’s proximity to the urban life in To ronto and the rural setting in our backyard. He spoke of southern On- tario’s highways and trains, its commu- nities and public education facilities and of course, its moderate climate. As well, he spoke of the community sup- port demonstrated through the ‘We Want Iter’ publication produced by Metroland and supported by business, labour and government. As well, he pointed to surveys conducted that show almost unanimous support for the pro- ject. These are the attributes the mayor talked about before concluding, “This is the outstanding lifestyle choice for ITER families.” Of course the French, Spanish and Japanese sites each have their own unique strengths. Spain has the breath- taking Mediterranean Sea. France has its culture, history and cuisine while Japan’s site is in a beautiful remote area known for excellent fishing, yet just a short plane ride to Tokyo. As the international site assessment team continues to look at the options, the process of elimination will not be easy. But thanks to the efforts of the Durham delegation this week, Canada’s weather and lifestyle questions should be firmly behind us. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, October 23, 2002 PAGE A9 A/P Valid Oct. 23 - 29, 2002 or while quantities last.

Stephen Ross Budai plays a full season with the Ontario under-17 squad in 2003 after catching on with the club late this season. The catcher and outfielder was in- vited to try out for Team Ontario by Marc Picard, executive vice-president of baseball operations for Team On- tario and a teacher and baseball coach at Pickering High School. After a ses- sion involving about 60 other hopefuls and an exhibition game, the 16-year- old was invited to the join the elite squad in late August. In the short time he has been with the team, Budai has played in numer- ous games and attended practices. He and his teammates recently returned from Fort Myers, Florida where they played in the Baseball America Perfect Game Underclassmen World Wooden Bat Championship last week. There, Ontario posted a 3-1 record in round-robin play against top Ameri- can competition to advance into the playoff round. In the quarter-final game, however, a strong Orlando Stars team beat the Ontarians 3-2. Budai saw action at both positions. Next summer, his schedule with the Ontario squad grows exponentially. Ontario plays 27 regular-season games involving elite teams in the GTA. Vaughan serves as the provincial under-17 team’s home base. In addi- tion, the club gets maximum exposure to Major League Baseball scouts as well as U.S. college recruiters at tour- naments in Illinois, B.C., Tennessee, Oklahoma and hopefully a date at the World Wooden Bat event, slated for Jupiter, Florida in 2003. “I’m definitely looking forward to it. It should be a good experience,” said Budai. As a player who came late to the provincial program, Budai is looking forward to starting next season on even footing with other members of the team. “These guys have been together for the past year, so I should be able to perform with them like I had been on the team for the past year,” he said. Budai came off a strong campaign with the Pickering Baseball Associa- tion midget ‘A’rep squad. Prior to that, he played all his minor baseball within the ranks of Ajax Spartans Minor Baseball. As a 16-year-old playing on a team of 17- and 18-year-old players, Budai thrived in the environment. He helped the team advance as far as the second round of the playoffs. Individu- ally, he was named to the Eastern On- tario Baseball Association’s all-star team and competed with the all-stars at the Ontario Cup — a well-scouted showcase tournament — in Oakville in July. The Grade 11 student at Pickering High School said his ultimate goal is to play baseball in a U.S. collegiate set- ting in a year’s time. JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Ajax’s Stephen Ross Budai, 16, caught on with the Ontario under-17 elite baseball team in August. The Grade 11 student is looking forward to a full season with the provincial squad next summer. Telus toppled by Avalanche in women’s hockey Squad drops seventh consecutive game DURHAM —Anemic special- teams play by the Telus Lightning kept the squad from its first win of the season Saturday night. As it was, the Lightning gave up four power-play goals to the Quebec Avalanche in a 4-2 loss at the Ajax Community Centre. It was the Light- ning’s seventh consecutive defeat to open the National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) season. The Lightning held leads of 1-0 and 2-1, but a rash of penalties al- lowed the Quebecers to take full ad- vantage en route to their third win of the season, two at the expense of Telus. The teams met Oct. 5 in Que- bec, with the Avalanche winning 4-1. For Telus head coach Peter Perram, penalties — and lacklustre special- teams play — separated his team from a possible victory. “We killed off a number of penal- ties, but we really didn’t do well on special teams, either on the power play or the penalty kill,” said Perram. He said his young players were guilty of failing to gauge the fact the referees were calling the game tightly, meaning incidental contact would re- sult in a trip to the penalty box. The Lightning was called for 20 minutes in penalties, while the Avalanche re- ceived 18. “I think in female hockey, it’s al- ways difficult to anticipate how the game will go. Some referees call inci- dental body contact more so than oth- ers,” he said. If there’s a silver lining for Telus, two players who saw a lot of special teams’ time earlier in the season are returning to the lineup after recover- ing from injuries. Jackie Jarrell (foot) and Katie Quinn (unspecified) are both expected back next week. The teams sawed off the first peri- od at 1-1. The Lightning surged ahead with a goal at the midway point of the second stanza, only to have the Avalanche connect for two unan- swered markers later in the frame. Quebec added one more goal in the third. Jamie Hill contributed a solid game for the Lightning, scoring the first goal and assisting on Brenda Roberts’s goal. Erin Rourke also had an assist. Telus returns to action with back- to-back games next week. The Light- ning travel to Toronto to play the top- ranked Beatrice Aeros Monday, Oct. 28. The next evening, Telus hosts the Brampton Thunder at the Ajax Com- munity Centre at 7:30 p.m. LIGHTNING BOLTS:The Lightning is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel where injuries are con- cerned. Forward Gwen Kilfoy (knee) should be back with the club by Nov. 1. Only defenceman Sandy Hustler remains on the shelf indefinitely with an undisclosed medical condition. JAMIE HILL A goal and an assist against Quebec Avalanche Saturday. Panthers finally break though for win However, junior club follows with effort to forget Monday BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING — Short-handed goals were killers for the Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers Monday night. The Vaughan Vipers struck for two short-handed markers in the second period and then stunned the Panthers by scoring another in the third period en route to a 6-3 victory in OHA On- tario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League action at the Al Palladini Community Centre in Vaughan. It wasn’t all doom and gloom for the Panthers (3-12-2-0 for eight points, seventh in South Conference standings), however, as Pickering started the home-and-home series with Vaughan with a 4-3 overtime victory last Friday. Friday’s victory at the Pickering Recreation Complex broke off an eight-game winless streak for the Pan- thers who’ve been bitten hard by the injury bug of late. Currently, three front-line players (Andrew Gilbert, broken leg; Cory York, broken arm; Mario DiClemente; broken leg) are out indefinitely and captain Ryan Tay- lor just returned to the lineup after sit- ting out several games with a hip flex- or injury. Monday’s erratic special-teams’ play was unforgivable in a game that was infinitely winnable, says Pan- thers’ head coach Jim Wilson. “We just took ourselves out of it,” lamented Wilson. After Vaughan opened the scoring at the midway point of the first period, Pickering fired back with two goals before the end of the frame. Vaughan’s Roger Kim scored a short-handed mark three minutes into the second pe- riod to tie the game. Vaughan took the lead at the midway point, but Picker- ing answered back to tie the game at 3- 3. Another short-handed marker late in the second put the Vipers back in the driver’s seat. In the third period, Vaughan scored two more goals, including the other short-handed tally. Andrew Jackson, Jesse Toms and Peter Franchin scored for Pickering. Adding assists were Craig Johnston, Ryan Annesley, James Gadon, Corey A.J.

Racing tiebreaker broken in Pickering driver’s favour PICKERING — The Pickering Panthers minor midget select hockey team posted back-to-back victories to open regular-season play. In their most recent effort, the midgets travelled to East Gwillim- bury, beating the Eagles 2-1. In what was a tight-checking af- fair, it was almost midway through the second period before the Pan- thers struck. Alex Stavrou fed a breakaway pass to Kyle Fredericks, who notched the first goal of the game. Adam Turi added the winning goal. Chris Skeates turned in a solid performance in net to record his first win. In their home opener against the Newmarket Redmen, the Panthers clawed out a 3-2 victory. Joey Paul scored the winner with less than 50 seconds remaining in the third period. Drawing the assist was Derek Westlake. Adding early markers were Derek Savoie and Westlake. Chipping in with assists were Michael Lafferton and Paul with two. Backstopping the team was Antony DelleDonne. Also contributing to the team’s success were Brendon Watts, Kyle Kavaratzis, Joshua Linkletter, Tommy Myall, Jordan Cash, Daniel Thrift, Kyle Walker and Neil Felder. Bob Paul, Dave Thrift and Jeff Skeates coach the team. Midgets open season with two wins Local curling brimming with youth ...Page B2 See PANTHERS page B3 PICKERING —A Pickering race-car driver has been named out- right rookie of the year winner for the Formula Ford racing series this year, the News Advertiser has learned. In a press release from general manager Eric Berman, the series will now recognize 18-year-old Chris Guerrieri as the rookie of the year, instead of its previous stance of lean- ing towards declaring a tie for the award with Ashley Taws. Both fin- ished with 85 points. “Due to the fact that Chris did fin- ish higher in the standings (as per our rule book) and after further investi- gation into the issue and the wording of the rules, we felt that the scope of the regulations with regards to points and tiebreakers extends to cover the rookie of the year award as well, which itself is based solely on the final driver championship point standings. So, we plan to award the Ford Rookie of the Year Award to Chris at the banquet. There will be no tie,” said Berman in a statement. According to rule book on the se- ries’Web site, in the case of a tie, the driver with the most wins finishes ahead.

In Friday’s game, the Panthers exhibited a fine effort to end its losing skid. It took, however, a goal by Black with one minute left in the five-minute extra frame to finally defang the Vipers who scored the tying goal to send it into overtime in the last minute of the third period. Veteran forward Brent Chan- dler and second-year goaltender Scott Gray both had a large hand in the victory. Chandler was the catalyst for three of the four Pan- thers’ goals with three assists, in- cluding a helper on Black’s game winner. Meanwhile, Gray made 45 saves. Other goal scorers were John- ston, Patrick Miller and Shawn Coultice. Other assists went to Casey Trudeau, Gadon, Black and Rob Foster. The Panthers host the Thornhill Rattlers at the complex Friday at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Pan- thers are in Vaughan at 7:45 p.m. Panthers earn split with Vaughan PANTHERS from page B1 BY CHRISTY CHASE Staff Editor DURHAM –– Ken Bond has entered a new stage in his life. The Whitby resident is a veteran actor with local ama- teur theatre groups and a play- wright with works produced on local stages. But last spring, he took a big step, retired from his job of 28 years in the aero- space/telecommunications in- dustry and devoted himself to acting and writing plays full- time. He’s also looking further afield with his plays and is be- ginning to market them to pro- fessional theatre groups. “I’ve just really started to expand my horizons,” he said during an interview in his home. “I’ve been submitting my works to Toronto professional companies. I’ve had some en- couraging words but no offers. This is a long-term thing. It’s not something you get into overnight. I’m finding it’s going to be challenging.” A challenge is something he’s always enjoyed when it comes to acting. “I like a challenge, so if there’s a part that’s going to challenge me and stretch me as an actor, I want to do it.” He started in the world of local theatre in Durham Re- gion in 1986. He’d just fin- ished several years of night school for his job. His sister suggested he take that free time and audition for a play being staged by the Borelians Community Theatre in Port Perry. He’d always thought about acting in high school “but I never had the courage,” he said. “So I went out and got a part and there’s been no turn- ing back.” That part in Port Perry led him to Durham Shoestring Performers in Oshawa and on to Scugog Choral Society, Whitby Courthouse Theatre, Uxbridge Players, Pickering Players, Oshawa Little Theatre and Hourglass Theatre. He’s done musicals, comedies and dramas. Some of his biggest chal- lenges and favourite roles in- clude the man on the top win- dow ledge of a seven-storey apartment building in ‘Seven Stories,’ Sam Bick in ‘Assas- sins’ and his dual roles (as a British colonel and a four- year-old girl) in the role- switching play ‘Cloud Nine.’ One of his biggest chal- lenges as an actor remains the audition, he said. “I’m probably more ner- vous at an audition than I am in a performance. At an audi- tion, you’re faced with the pos- sibility of being rejected. Get- ting cast is the start of every- thing.” He gave himself another challenge about a year after he started acting when he was youth co-ordinator at Whitby Courthouse Theatre. He decid- ed to write a children’s play for his own youngsters, son Donovan, then seven, and Ste- fanie, then two. He took it to Durham Shoestring for some advice and was told it should be produced. And it was, after he polished it, wrote some lyrics and found someone to write music. ‘Wooster Without Wednes- day’was staged in Oshawa and Whitby and more children’s plays followed. But as his children aged, so did the plays he wrote until he was writing plays for mature audiences. He’s written seven to date, in- cluding six for Durham Shoe- string Performers. His plays have also been produced in Uxbridge. His latest, ‘Rita Taylor,’ is the season opener on Nov. 8 for Durham Shoestring. He’s also directing the play, subti- tled ‘A Comedy About Attach- ments.’ His plays deal with ordi- nary people who find them- selves in unusual situations or subjected to extraordinary in- fluences. Running through most plays is a “thread of ro- mance,” he added “My plays tend to be quite character-driven,” he said. So much so that he’s often had to change a plot because the characters have had minds of their own, he added. His ideas come from every- where. He’s working on one play, ‘Swarm Logic,’ influ- enced by that phrase. Another, ‘Gravel Sounds,’ comes from the comforting and exciting sound of gravel, Bond said. It can take months for him to research and write a play, which is always shown first to his wife, Irene. She and his children have, at times, also helped him with his lines for his acting roles. “Irene gets to live with all these characters, whether I’m on stage or writing,” Bond said. Currently, he’s got ‘Rita Taylor’ preparing for a six- night run, two more plays fin- ished, one draft finished and six plays in various stages from ideas to a couple of scenes written.

Twenty club members will have items on sale Friday and Sat- urday, and among the demonstra- tions is the Japanese braiding technique, kumihimo. Club vice-president Judy Comfort said the event appeals to anyone looking for something dif- ferent. “Anybody who appreciates hand-crafted items,” she said. “They’re pretty unique so people who appreciate that and want to own something different.” There will also be a tea room with homemade treats and the chance to win a hand-woven door prize. There is no admission cost. The event runs from 1 to 8 p.m. Oct. 25 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 26. In addition, Comfort said the group is always looking for new members. It holds meetings once a month, but also opens its Guild Studio in the Greenwood Com- munity Centre every Monday for group projects. For more informa- tion about the show or club, call Comfort at 905-473-2669, Jacquie Weir at 905-640-5894 or Marie Hill at 905-839-3242.

Male chorus hits the right notes for youth group PICKERING — A guest ap- pearance by a Toronto chorus is music to the ears of a local youth group. The 15-mem- ber Toronto Po- lice Association Male Chorus fills the All Na- tions Full Gospel Church with music Monday, Nov. 4 beginning at 7 p.m. Accompa- nist Peter Sug- den, known for his jazz work, lends his key- boarding skills to the evening. The fund- raising concert is in aid of the church’s youth group, which will also show- case its talents that night, offer- ing a singing and rapping in- termission per- formance be- tween the cho- rus’s two sets. Church offi- cial Maggie Blanchard noted the event is a key one for the youth group as it tries to establish itself in the community and become an ac- tive fund-raiser. Proceeds from this concert will be used for com- puter equip- ment, which in turn will be used with job-search help, to help fund summer camps and to cover trans- portation costs for future events. “Some of them are in Grade 9 and this group is helping prepare them for the real world,” said Ms. Blan- chard. She said the group has 13 to 20 regular mem- bers, although more are always welcome, and meets every Sunday evening. The Toronto chorus began in 1966 when a few officers gathered togeth- er to form a group. It per- forms through- out the year at hospitals, chari- table benefits, churches and a number of other events. Tickets to the concert are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, and $5 for children under 11. All Nations Church is at 1735 Bayly St. Unit 14, east of Brock Road, in Pickering. For more in- formation about the concert or youth group, call the church at 905-420- 0887, Blanchard at 416-452-0192 or James at 416- 826-9924.
